Linux Journal Insider - April 2010
Linux Journal Insider is your monthly peek at what to expect from the new issue of Linux Journal, before it even hits the newsstands. This month we discuss software development! Shawn Powers and Kyle Rankin give you the inside scoop on topics, articles, and geekery in general. Feel free to listen right here in your browser with the fancy embedded audio player, or subscribe to the FEED with your favorite podcast software. Either way, we hope you enjoy it!
voice level
While listening to the mp3 file of issue 192, I have difficulty in understanding what the speakers were saying. Not that they don't speak clear enough, but it's the voice level which causes trouble. The problem is one speaks too loud while the other person whispers. It's indeed annoying to adjust the volume up and down constantly just to grab the conversation. I hope this only applies to this issue as I have lost interest in trying other feeds.
Hopefully this would be addressed in future issues and this comment is viewed as feedback more than a complaint.
Thanks for the time and keep up the good work.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Catch 22 in Cache Documentation
Reported by: | pavera | Owned by: | nobody |
Component: | Documentation | Version: | master |

Cc: | Triage Stage: | Accepted | |
Has patch: | no | Needs documentation: | no |

In the cache documentation it states that to cache anonymous requests only (IE you don't want to cache logged in user pages) you use CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ANONYMOUS_ONLY = True in the settings file. It then states that to use this successfully CacheMiddleware must appear after AuthenticationMiddleware, which makes sense. Under Order of MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in the same document however, it says CacheMiddleware should appear before SessionMiddleware so that headers are set correctly, which seems to make sense to me as well.
Unfortunately, there is an already existing requirement that AuthenticationMiddleware must come after SessionMiddleware, so the only way to phrase this and get Django to run successfully is:
- SessionMiddleware
- AuthenticationMiddleware
- CacheMiddleware
However, that violates the documentation which states that CacheMiddleware should come before SessionMiddleware.
I do not know if this is an error in the documentation, or if some hacking needs to be applied to the various middlewares so that all of the requirements can be satisfied.

Contrary to popular belief among recreational drug users, mephedrone has several important differences when compared with MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy. These differences mean that mephedrone could leave a user with acute withdrawal symptoms and indicate that it may have a higher potential for developing dependence than MDMA according to a study published in British Journal of Pharmacology.

Honestly Chris and his friends were good customers, have spent 10 days with us and in all that time I was never contacted to complain about something, have them laughing, joking and offering drink to my staff including my assistant, until last day.
On their return home they opened a request for a full refund of the money, and inserting the review on the same day.
I just want to explain some of my doubts:
I asked Chris why in 10 days I've ever contacted me,
I also asked why he did not say anything during your stay as David went to greet them every 2 days.
Why has not notified to David all other problem listed by him
Did not answer me and I only asked reimburse the money
I remain very doubtful about the truth of everything but still accept the review and we apologize to Chris if the stay was not great.
For those wishing to I can send the link of our conversations in airbnb between us and chris

Insider Monkey profiled Joshua Friedman and Mitchell Julis' Canyon Capital. Friedman is a graduate of Physics at Harvard College. He also has a master's degree in Oxford and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Mitchell Julis is a graduate of Princeton University and has an MBA degree from Harvard Business School. The assets under management (AUM) is approximately $18.9 billion and Canyon ranks 22nd in the largest US managers at the beginning of 2010, according to the Hedge Fund Journal (pdf). Canyon invests in different asset classes. Its approach is multi-strategy and it aims for absolute returns using little or moderate leverage. This is how Canyon Capital explains its investment philosophy:
"We are multi-strategy and value-oriented investors, investing across all significant asset classes including bank debt, high yield and distressed securities, securitized assets, direct investments, convertible arbitrage, risk arbitrage, equities and special situation securities. We seek to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns significantly in excess of, and uncorrelated to, the debt and equity market indices.
Our approach is risk averse and event-driven. We adhere to rigorous due diligence and investment processes, focusing on the underlying economics and financial staying power of the business. Canyon also looks critically at the capital structure and risk and return of an investment versus market expectations.
Our portfolio is broadly diversified. Value at risk per position is low. Our largest positions rarely account for more than 3% of total assets under management and we employ only modest leverage, if any."
Value Realization Fund, which is Canyon's flagship fund, invests in 33% in equity and 67% in fixed income securities. The fund is unleveraged and returned 13.5% during the 2010, making it the 9th most profitable hedge fund in 2010 according to Bloomberg Markets Magazine. Five year annualized return is 9.2%. During the economic crisis at 2008, fund lost approximately 28%.
US equities are a small percentage of Canyon's portfolio. At the end of December, its US equity investment is about $1.32 Billion and this is only 7% of AUM. Canyon had 80 stocks in its portfolio at the end of December. Below are Canyon's largest long-term equity holdings, kept at least 1 year.
Stock | Value (Million $) | Return |
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) | 68.3 | 7.0% |
Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) | 33.4 | -16.4% |
Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings Inc. (NYSE:CCO) | 32.0 | 39.3% |
Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMKR) | 30.0 | 8.8% |
Hawaiian Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:HA) | 15.7 | -15.9% |
CIT Group, Inc. (NYSE:CIT) | 14.6 | 21.3% |
Graham Packaging Company, Inc. (NYSE:GRM) | 10.3 | 53.7% |
Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV) | 8.9 | -22.7% |
Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENER) | 7.5 | -53.6% |
Leap Wireless International Inc. (LEAP) | 6.3 | -17.3% |
Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMLN) | 2.6 | -24.2% |
The last column shows the return values for a one year period. Weighted average return of Canyon's portfolio is 5.6% where the SPY returned 18.8%. Canyon's long term holdings underperformed the SPY by a huge margin. CIT and AMLN holdings are reduced more than 200% during the last quarter of 2010. They returned -7.3% and 2.2%, respectively. BAC holdings are increased by 64.4% during the fourth quarter and returned 4.4 since then. Most timely moves are for HA and ENER. Stock holdings reduced by 43.8% and 25% in the meantime they lost 15.9% and 20.4% since the end of December 2010, respectively. Stephen Mandel's Lone Pine Capital, John Griffin's Blue Ridge, Bill Miller's Legg Mason Capital, Lee Ainslie's Maverick Capital, George Soros, David Tepper's Appaloosa, Martin Zweig's Zweig-DiMenna, and John Paulson's Paulson & Co are all bullish about JP Morgan (JPM). Tom Brown, a hedge fund manager who specializes in bank stocks, is also bullish about JPM.
During the last quarter of 2010, Canyon bought 27 new stocks. Here are 10 largest picks.
Stock | Value ( Million $) | Return |
Liberty Global Inc. (NASDAQ:LBTYA) | 84.6 | 16.7% |
Chemtura Corp. Common Stock (NYSE:CHMT) | 74.6 | -0.4% |
Genworth Financial Inc. (NYSE:GNW) | 54.2 | -2.6% |
Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) | 40.2 | 20.5% |
Hess Corporation (NYSE:HES) | 33.7 | 10.6% |
Tenet Healthcare Corp. (NYSE:THC) | 32.1 | 5.1% |
DeVry, Inc. (NYSE:DV) | 28.8 | 10.6% |
Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) | 23.3 | 15.6% |
Quicksilver Resources Inc. (NYSE:KWK) | 22.1 | -0.7% |
Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE:CIM) | 20.5 | 2.2% |
The weighted average return of those new picks is 7.9%, outperforming SPY by 3.8 percentage points. Six of ten picks have beaten the market. CHTR is the best performing pick of Canyon. Chase Coleman, who returned more than 70% in 2010, is extremely bullish about Canyon's largest new stock pick LBTYA. Passport Capital's John Burbank likes CHMT. There aren't any prominent hedge fund managers with Genworth Financial Holdings.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

This year the Caps had no obvious weak spot. True, they didn't make the final-four, but they came as close to it as possible. Unlike Nashville, St-Louis and Philly -- three strong teams who were beaten convincingly -- there was nothing convincing about Washington's loss. They could/should/might have been in the final four just as easily as New York. I'm a Habs fan with nothing for or against Washington, but they really impressed me.
Montreal didn't come close to out-coaching them, unless Martin's coaching strategy was "let them have 20+ shots per game between and below the dots and let our goalie steal the series".
The Caps completely dominated that series territorially and were beat when the goaltender got hot.

Slide 27. TB Cases by Homeless Status, Age ≥ 15, United States, 1993-2011. This graph shows the number of TB cases reported to be homeless within twelve months prior to their TB diagnosis from 1993 through 2011. Cases must have been above 14 years of age. The number of homeless cases has decreased from a high of 1379 cases in 1994 to 565 in 2011 and parallels the overall decline in cases during this time. This category has seen a continuous decrease in cases since 1994; the years 2003, 2006, and 2010 have been exceptions with a small increase in cases. Of total cases, 6.8% were homeless in 1994 and percentages have ranged between 7.5% in 1993 and 5.4% in 2009. Since 2009 there has been a small increase in 2010 (5.7%) and in 2011 (5.8%). |

Predictable prodigal daughter tale with Christian message.
A movie with a moral lesson about what is to be valued is effective without being preachy
Slick, sophisticated but bland, with that faith-based film curse of having little humor and no edge at all.
Don't suspect any surprises: It is a Christian film and demonstrates melodramatic TV strategies. Still, on its own terms it is entertaining.
It should satisfy its intended audience and maybe even bring a few new viewers into the flock.
Tepid and predictable ...
Feels like a religious tract more than a movie.
Grace Unplugged may be a film that only a Christian could love, but there seemed to be plenty of Christians loving on it in the audience.

| North Carolina Geography: The LandGeography and Landforms of North CarolinaFind an overview of North Carolina geography, topography, geographic land area, and major rivers. Access North Carolina almanac furnishing more details on the state geography, climate and weather, elevation, land area, bordering states, and other statistical data. North Carolina's six largest cities: Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Durham, and Fayetteville are in the Piedmont Plateau region.
North Carolina is made up of these Physiographic AreasSouth Atlantic Coastal PlainThe South Atlantic Coastal Plain covers northeastern Florida, the southern half of Georgia and the eastern halves of South Carolina and North Carolina. Its western boundary is the fall line that marks the beginning of the hilly Piedmont and its eastern boundary is the Atlantic Ocean. As part of a continuous Coastal Plain that extends from New York to Texas, it has arbitrary boundaries at the Alabama-Georgia border and at the North Carolina-Virginia border, extending into the southeast corner of Virginia only to capture the very Southeastern Great Dismal Swamp. The southeastern boundary marks a broad transitional zone into Peninsular Florida. The Atlantic coast is lined with barrier islands that support sand dune and maritime forest habitats and are backed by marshland. Estuaries are less saline marsh nearest the coast, and river valleys become increasingly wooded farther inland, supporting significant areas of bottomland hardwood forest. Pocosins and Carolina bays are non-alluvial forested wetlands unique to this physiographic area. Uplands were historically dominated by fire-maintained pine forests, with longleaf nearer the coast and on sandy soils inland and a mixture of shortleaf, loblolly, and hardwoods elsewhere. The Florida Uplands run about 275 miles west to east, along the northern edge of the Florida Panhandle and then extends south into the central area of the Florida peninsula. The width of the northern Florida Uplands varies from around 30 to 50 miles and is characterized by low rolling hills of red clay. Hard and softwood forests are plentiful. The section of the Florida Uplands that extends south into the peninsula, covers an area about 100 miles wide and 160 miles long. This area extends from the north, south and to the east, to separate the two sections of the East Gulf Coastal Plain and to separate the East Gulf Coastal Plain from the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The landscape in the southern Florida Uplands is characterized by low hills and many lakes. Though the Florida Uplands are only 200-300 feet above sea level, they are still higher than the regions of the Atlantic Coastal Plain and the East Gulf Coastal Plain. The highest point in Florida is found in the Florida Uplands that run along the northern edge of the panhandle. Just south of the Alabama border, west of Paxton, Britton Hill is 345 feet above sea level and is the lowest state high point in the nation. Southern Blue RidgeThe Southern Blue Ridge is an area of rugged mountains, long broad ridges, steep slopes, and deep ravines. It straddles the border between Tennessee and North Carolina, extending south into northeast South Carolina and northwest Georgia and north into Virginia. High Peaks spruce-fir forest grades at lower elevations into northern hardwood forest or hemlock-white pine forest on steep, north-facing slopes and Appalachian oaks on drier sites. The Appalachian oak type is the most widespread forest type in the area. Mixed mesophytic hardwood forests, also called cove forests, over on more mesic sites at low to mid-elevations. Various southern yellow pine mixes occur on dry ridges, often associated with a fire regime. There are also riparian forest types along valleys at various elevations, primarily in the lowlands. Disturbance, including fire, grazing, and storm damage, plays a major role in determining the distribution and successional status of many of these forest types. Southern Piedmont (Southern Appalachia)The Southern Piedmont extends through central North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia and into eastern Alabama. The area is characterized by irregular plains and open hills with occasional tablelands. Elevations generally range from about 30 meters to 100 meters, but rise to about 400 meters at the interface with the Southern Blue Ridge. Numerous and diverse rivers comprise a major feature of the landscape. Although the Piedmont is geologically part of Southern Appalachia, the types of vegetation that characterize the region encompass a broad transition from upland forest types to the coastal plain. By most accounts, Piedmont forests were dominated by hardwoods at the time of early European settlement, and the extent far exceeded what exists today. However, the Piedmont was by no means entirely forested prior to European settlement. Eastern grasslands and savannas were extensive and present as late as the 1700's. Because Native American settlements were apparently common in the Piedmont, agricultural fields and other larger openings were historically part of the landscape.
North Carolina Landscape and Landforms:Coastal PlainThis coastal area offers extensive commercial and sport fishing, and thousands of tourists visit the state's many beaches. A slender chain of islands known as the Outer Banks protects the North Carolina coast. Piedmont PlateauThis area is dotted with many small rolling farms, The Piedmont Plateau is mostly a manufacturing area in which the chief industries are furniture, tobacco, and textiles.

As I watch this I sense that you want to smile. And, somehow, I know that you are smiling on the inside. Because, that whole concepts regarding "despise not small beginnings" and "the act of being underestimated", I get it. People often times discount us. What they should remember is this: "Discount me if you must. But you have to remember, that I serve a God - the only, wise God, who should never be discounted." And so in discounting me, you unawaringly discount the God within me!" -- Therein lies the reason for the smile. So I welcome it when I realize people are discounting me, because I know that with that, they forget that they should never discount the God who stands up within me, orders my steps. It is He who gives me the victory. And so - as I am hidden, (Tyler, you spoke well) .... I prepare. :-) !

I hear what you're saying Tyler. I think Madea would be better prepared to address this matter. I believe that she would advise me to be seen! To Hit that Man in the head with a Hakiu, playing with your emotions in your Dreams. Trying to do the nasty and get the cookie without taking you to dinner. I think she would get to the bottom of some Dream Creeping player trying to blow her Niece's mind in a dream. It's my turn I'm next and people been taking from me all my life! This is where it stops! Were's Sammy? It's time to stop the WORLD! It's time for my Shine to GLOW. My Dream Creepin Lover Needs to Know how he opened my heart wider than the sea. But Naughty Nasty Part-time loving in dreams just won't do for me. If he is not interested after I know he's heard then we'll endure the sound of Angel's Cry and I'll be free to fly far away to the Mother Land. Knowing that I did everything my MAKER'S PLAN revealed to me. My Final Call through internet, social medial, airmail express to everyone he knows…gotta make sure he gets this message before I return to the comfort of my cocoon.

I agree with what you are saying, however I'm just wondering how long am I going to be hidden. I know that it is God's timing and it is on God, right? I know that he is a door opener? I know that it has been God who has hidden me. I am not getting any younger and I've been a behind the scenes person in many areas of life. I have had people tell me how wonderful my voice is, and yet in local church's I seem to not be going any further than just that. I'm learning, I'm walking and I will continue to see where God takes me from here. I'm a little nervous because I feel that, that time is closer than it has ever been. Even when I feel the butterflies I can still press through that and minister as God, and the Holy Spirit gives....Thanks for your encouraging words. I have heard about God hiding us many times. I believe 2014 is going to be a great year for many of us.

Hello Tyler Perry you are an extraordinary man. I appreciate your inspirational comments they are very encouraging. I have a question what do you do when you are hundreds of miles from home which is Louisiana where your only child is and living in another state in a horrible marriage where it seems like I'm stuck. He took me from my hometown Married me and bought me and my daughter to his town and neglected and then abandoned me. My daughter left and went back to Louisiana after seeing living in the distinction. I don't have enough money to drive my car back that far being that I need tires gas and hotel money to get there. Husband won't give me money to get back so I feel stuck. The courts said we have to share the exspences of the house even though he is leaving me soon as he gets the okay from the judge to keep the house and not help me get back home. Saving enough can take forever. Days I fee l good days I feel I can't take it another second. On top of it all I'm trying to finish bible college. They are not charging me til I get on my feet. I miss my daughter so much haven't see her in six months she's 19 years old. I hope I find my answer in the question. Love l.francis

As part of the Obama Administration's initiative to save money in Federal operations by taking steps to reduce energy use, pollution and waste, the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) released an annual performance update that shows significant progress toward energy and sustainability goals.
Under Executive Order 13514, President Barack Obama directed Federal agencies to reduce their carbon pollution, increase renewable energy use, and meet energy and water efficiency goals. Based on these FY 2012 benchmarks, the U.S. DOT will update its annual Sustainability Plan to target the best opportunities to continue to improve performance.
"In just two years, DOT has improved its sustainability performance in every category," said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. "DOT has developed a culture where the innovation and collaboration of employees help reach our sustainability goals."
U.S. DOT is meeting goals for greenhouse gas emissions reductions, reduction in energy intensity, use of renewable energy and reduction in fleet petroleum use.
Some highlights of the DOT's FY2012 performance include:
Areas showing a need for improvement include reductions in potable water intensity and green buildings. To address these areas, U.S. DOT is using a number of cost-effective strategies, such as setting aggressive policies and a performance-based contracting initiative.
This is the third time Federal agencies have publicly released their Office of Management and Budget energy and sustainability scorecards as part of the Administration's commitment to increasing transparency and accountability in Federal operations.

How To
Tips on Keeping Your Finances Afloat During the Holiday Season
By Cpl. Jovane M. Henry
Calif. -- Every holiday season, consumers spend millions of dollars on travel, gifts and meals, leaving their wallets to feel the pain as the new year rolls around.
For military members, many of whom are stationed away from their families or hometowns, paying for transportation or sending gifts to family members around the world can make or break the bank, especially for the junior enlisted.
Fortunately, there are resources in place to help Marines and their families navigate the sea of wasteful holiday spending. The Personal Finance Program, a part of Marine and Family Programs, offers the free services of two financial management consultants who hold classes on all things finance, from buying a first car to setting up a realistic budget.
Beth Middleton and Gerald Williams, both financial management consultants with Marine Corps Community Services, shared several crucial tips to keep spending under control during the holiday season.
Tip #1: Think rationally
"Service members, along with the rest of the nation, are in a festive mood during the holiday season, and that tends to lead them to spend without thinking," said Williams. "Often times, Marines will overextend themselves trying to 'do it big' and end up spending money they normally wouldn't. Don't get caught up in the hype of buying blindly. Stay away from store credit cards and think about each purchase before you commit."
Tip #2: Plan ahead
Even with Christmas still several weeks away, now is the time to start planning for next year.
"Trying to scrape up funds for Christmas at the end of October is planning for failure," said Middleton. "You should always be mindful of your spending. Do some shopping for next year's gifts and decorations the day after Christmas when everything has a deep discount. It'll save you money now and a headache later."
Tip#3: Travel wisely
Depending on how far away a service member is stationed from their hometown, roundtrip tickets there and back during the holiday season can break the bank.
"You have to think smart when it comes to trying to get home for the holidays," said Williams. "If you're broke and your family can't help you offset the cost of a ticket, the best decision may be to save your money and go home another month when the prices are lower."
Tip #4: Redefine family
All hope isn't lost for service members who find they can't afford to go home for the holidays, said Middleton.
"The Single Marine Program always has events going on during the holiday season and on Christmas," said Middleton. "Marines can also take advantage of the many families throughout the community who offer to 'adopt a Marine' for Christmas dinner or just hang out with friends. Sometimes being with family, whether you are related by blood or Corps, means staying right where you are."
Tip #5: Change your focus
Resisting the urge to give in to societal pressures to buy multiple expensive gifts and focusing instead on spending quality time with your family can not only result in a truly fulfilling holiday, but an undamaged wallet as well.
"Instead of buying expensive gifts, do nice things for your family instead, such as cooking, cleaning, writing a letter, or just telling them how much you appreciate them," said Middleton. "When it comes down to it, it's not the stuff you get, but the time you spend with each other."

Pretty, but poor quality After having the stools for just a few weeks the screws began popping out. Considering there are only 2 average adults in my household and we only sat on them for morning coffee I was VERY disappointed. I love the look and the comfort they offer very much. Hence, I contacted customer service and am waiting for a replacement set. I am hoping that the original stools were just a "bad" batch. However, I am not very optimistic that the stools will hold up and in the end might have to be returned.

didn't measure up I was so disappointed in this product. I only assembled one and knew I would not be keeping these bar stools. Assembly was frustrating. The side bars did not fit so that there was a substantial gap from the wider part of the support and the leg. One of the screws was completely defective and I didn't figure this out until my son, who is not far sighted, saw that the screw didn't have well defined grooves in the head. The screws to support the side bars ran into each other, and even when screwed in still were not secure. Didn't think the construction would make for stable, or safe, seating. The return was fairly easy to take care of. Just received them today and they are already packed and ready to return.

They sent the Opposite Color Scheme I figured it would be a hassle to do the return process, I thought at least the seat pads would be black, flipped them over in the box and realized they were red, not even like a dark red, but I was not pleased at all. I'll keep them just for general purpose, but I do plan to resell them on local ad. Just pay attention to what you get

Good Value Good product for the price. Lightweight but doesn't feel "cheap" and it's wider construction makes the stool seem strurdy. Bought 4 with brown tops for our bar area and all but one assembled very easily. The 4th overlapped in one of the screw holes and two screws were hitting each other. Worked with it screwing each in a little at a time and it assembled correctly with a little finess. The seats are very soft and comfortable. They fit nicely under the bar and were a great way for us to add extra seating making the most of the space we had.

Bar stools I really liked the way the stools looked when assembled, but the assembly was not easy on all of the stools. Some of the stools had holes that weren't completly drilled through and we needed an electric drill to get the screws through the wood. A couple of the stools assembled easily with no problems. The final product looks great in my son's new house. He loves them and they were a good price.

please think twice Please think twice before buying this product. Workmanship on these stools is very cheap. The edges of the cushions are lined with cardboard. The screws are missing and are too short to join the cross pieces to the legs ( I ended up using carpenter screws). The legs need to be tightened every once in a while. I just noticed that the vinyl cover on one of the stools has a cut, what a shame.

Apocalypse Now?
Is there anything historically unprecedented about the Bush Administration's military adventurism, intense secrecy and fearmongering? This question is vexing, especially to those historians and political scientists who, however appalled by current US foreign policy, cannot be genuinely surprised by the most recent incarnation of an imperial presidency. But it remains a critical question, not least because the answer to it could shed light on what progressives can hope to achieve after Bush.
Chalmers Johnson, a former Navy man, cold war consultant to the CIA and emeritus professor at the University of California, San Diego, helps us unravel this mystery by breathing new life into an old myth. In ancient Greece, Nemesis was the goddess of divine retribution for acts of hubris. Transgressions would never go unpunished; balance and proportion would inevitably be restored. The contemporary incarnation of Nemesis is "blowback," a notion apparently coined by the CIA and commonly used to explain the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979 as a form of delayed revenge for the American-orchestrated overthrow of Mohammed Mossadegh's democratically elected government in 1953. Admonitory aphorisms about self-defeating aggression--malefactors reap what they sow--also provide the best general framework for understanding the origins of 9/11, or so Johnson would have us believe in Nemesis, the third volume of "an inadvertent trilogy" that includes Blowback (2000) and The Sorrows of Empire (2004).
Johnson has no patience for those who attribute 9/11-style terrorism to a clash of civilizations or an unchanging "Salafi radicalism" and its irredeemably wicked adherents. He argues that anti-American rage, rather than emerging fully formed from a highly malleable religious tradition, has been triggered by decades of immoral and illegal behavior by American officials and proxies abroad. It is unavoidable that some of these "secret U.S. government operations and acts in distant lands would come back to haunt us," Johnson writes. He is thinking of covert actions well-known to Iranians and Guatemalans and Chileans (not to mention the US agents who carried them out) but that have barely penetrated the consciousness of most American citizens.
Identifying blowback as the root cause of 9/11, Johnson also argues that Bush's excessively violent and lawless reaction to the attack, in both Afghanistan and Iraq, will provoke blowback of its own. Significantly, because Johnson inaugurated his three-part series before the Bush Administration had begun to inflict its impulsiveness and inexperience on the world in earnest, he presents Bush's militarized response to 9/11 less as a sharp departure from the military policies of preceding administrations than as a predictable continuation of them, stressing, for instance, that "the United States has been continuously engaged in or mobilized for war since 1941."
Extrapolating freely from the documented history of blowback, Johnson speculates that we have already entered the "last days" of the Republic. America's post-World War II "imperialism," he predicts, will soon put an end to self-government in the United States: "I believe that to maintain our empire abroad requires resources and commitments that will inevitably undercut our domestic democracy and in the end produce a military dictatorship or its civilian equivalent." The destruction of the American Republic may even illustrate a profound historical regularity, he implies: "Over any fairly lengthy period of time, successful imperialism requires that a domestic republic or a domestic democracy change into a domestic tyranny." He even thinks that the American military is now "ripe" for "a Julius Caesar"--that is, for "a revolutionary, military populist with little interest in republican niceties so long as some form of emperorship lies at the end of his rocky path."
Johnson's conviction that imperialism tends to transform democracies into autocracies is based largely on his study of ancient Rome. He argues that the basic dynamics of Rome's imperial adventures and annexation of conquered territory ushered in the collapse of the Roman Republic. As sporadic and regional military campaigns were replaced by continuous and distant ones, Rome's citizen army had to be replaced by a standing army. Loyal not to political classes in Rome but to their commanders in the field, the professionalized Roman legions made it possible for Caesar to initiate the dismantling of the Republic brought to a conclusion by his grand-nephew Augustus.
"Roman history suggests that the short, happy life of the American republic may be coming to its end," Johnson writes, adding that "Bush has unleashed a political crisis comparable to the one Julius Caesar posed for the Roman constitution," threatening to subvert the traditional constitutional order and put dictatorship in its place. Rather than relying on a standing army and a Praetorian Guard, our cardboard Caesar from Crawford is backed by the Pentagon and its affiliated weapons contractors, not to mention the CIA: "The United States today, like the Roman Republic in the first century, BC, is threatened by an out-of-control military-industrial complex and a huge secret government controlled exclusively by the president." Imperial republics, Johnson suggests, are destined to be destroyed by an inner contradiction.
One reason for Johnson's end-of-days gloom is that he can identify no power center capable of resisting the forces that currently drive American foreign policy. He claims that because of the costliness of re-election campaigns and the insidious influence of Congressional lobbyists, "the legislative branch of our government is broken." An elected body that owes its incumbency partly to military contractors (who, in turn, provide not only campaign funding but also jobs for voters in swing districts) cannot reasonably be expected to swivel around and eliminate the corruption that nourishes it. In Johnson's words, "our political system may no longer be capable of saving the United States as we know it, since it is hard to imagine any president or Congress standing up to the powerful vested interests of the Pentagon, the secret intelligence agencies, and the military-industrial complex."

. So even if you leave out the Whedon fanbase, the show still has a solid built-in audience.
Maybe, but success at the movies doesn't have to translate into a successful tv show, it certainly has a better chance than other shows but it's not guaranteed.
In the past there have been quite a few hyped shows that crashed and burned in the first season, remember Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip? Aaron Sorkin, great cast, lots of publicity, what could go wrong? We all know how it ended.

Dear Men:
It may come as quite a surprise to you to hear this. It may even sting a little. It shouldn't.
There are some places where I fully expect to be hit on (for example, at the bar). I put up with it. Sometimes, I may even enjoy it. I consider the free drinks you buy me payment for the annoyance I deal with. I will (almost) always accept a free drink. Your efforts, while usually not reciprocated, have not gone unnoticed.
However, putting up with getting hit on at a bar is quite different from being harassed in other places. You should be aware that just because I'm female and have boobs doesn't mean that you are allowed to harass me and annoy the fuck out of me wherever I am, and no matter what I am doing. There are some things that should remain sacred.
I know it may be difficult to resist making comments to me while I'm running. I'm sure there's just something about a young woman drenched from head to toe in sweat, hair dripping, breathing heavily and with a face the color of a ripe tomato that you find irresistible. I can only imagine how hard it is for you to hold back when you see me running past in an over-sized sweat stained t-shirt. I sympathize. I really do.
Please, men. I put up with your shit at work. I put up with it at school. I put up with it when I'm driving, and when I'm eating, and when I buy my coffee. I have learned to be prepared when I go to the bar to be approached at least once, usually more. At this point, I pretty much expect it. All women do. But for the LOVE OF GOD, please leave me the fuck alone when I'm running.
P.S. The next guy who harasses me when I'm running is getting kicked in the balls. Consider that your warning.
