Plot Summary
Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx and Jake Gyllenhaal star in this critically acclaimed, brilliantly unconventional war story from Oscar®-winning director Sam Mendes. Jarhead (the self-imposed moniker of the Marines) follows Swoff (Gyllenhaal) from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, where he sports a sniper rifle through Middle East deserts that provide no cover from the heat or Iraqi soldiers. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves with sardonic humanity and wicked comedy on blazing desert fields in a country they don't understand against an enemy they can't see for a cause they don't fully grasp.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The best war movies -- and this one, despite its being overlong and repetitive, is among them -- hold that men fight (or in this case, are ready to fight) not for causes, but to survive and to help their comrades do the same.
Fresh: Director Sam Mendes' third screen outing pretty well nails Swofford's tone, which was mordant without being disrespectful, and, in fact, is begrudgingly reverent of the Corps.
Rotten: As hard as the actors work, Jarhead feels false right down to its seductive visuals.
Fresh: The invigorating thing about Jarhead is it makes us encounter the truth in its undigested form.
Customer Reviews
great movie and so real. i watch it everytime i miss my boyfriend who joined the USMC.
Jarhead is the best modern war movie I have seen!
One of the best...
This has to be one of the best movies of our generation. It portrays the Marines in a true light. You can't help but feel moved or inspired when watching this film. Has an amazing cast and amazing director who all give a pretty amazing preformance. This film is very well done and I highly recomend it to everyone.

As the show starts, Dan is teasing championship billiards at 1 a.m., a match between two players (and I have no idea if the ones Dan mentions are real or not, but knowing Sorkin they probably are) of whom Dan says, "When those two get together, it's a barn burner," in that tone of voice he reserves for soccer and other sports that Dan considers too marginal to deserve the respect accorded to football, baseball, and basketball. And I really don't understand or appreciate Dan's wit in these situations, because if he's attempting to encourage people to watch more programming on his stations, he might want to try being a little more sincere, because all he's really doing is pissing off real billiard fans. Not that I am one, understand; that shit is boring. Next, Casey closes with an inane comment about how if the viewers had half as much fun watching the show as they had making it, "well, then, we've had twice as much fun doing the show as you've had watching it." He does this in his trademark deadpan, which is accompanied by that freaky chilling stare he does, possessed by him and stalkers in television movies. And judging from what we've seen, there's a term for people who only have half as much fun as this show: clinically depressed. I got dumped by a girl once, went home, and listened to the Cure's "Disintegration" album for six hours straight. That was more fun than this. Then I went out with my friends, got a little drunk, and picked up another girl. That was more fun. And classy!
In the control room, Dana says, "Nice show, everybody," which is nice, even if it reminded me of that annoying voice-over the credits for Dateline NBC that says, "Nice job, everyone," like, who are they kidding?
At the desk, Dan wants Casey to come out to a bar called "El Perro Fumando," which Casey helpfully translates as "The Smoking Dog." Casey wants to know why he should go. I was going to make a snide comment about how apparently Dan's friendship isn't a good enough reason for Casey, but I suppose I'd be wary of a bar called "El Perro Fumando" too. Danny says if you wear something blue, you get two dollars off a giant blue margarita. Casey says he makes a good living, and he can wear what he wants and pay full price. I guess it's like that old truism: if you have to ask how much the giant blue margarita costs, you can't afford it. Dan says it's not so much the "economic upside" that's cool, but the chance to drink something giant and blue. This fails to sway Casey. Much as I think Casey is a jerk and a wet blanket and all, I can't see myself getting worked up about this either. Likewise, it's not so much the economic upside, but the fact that there comes a time in every guy's life when drinking a giant blue margarita just isn't a thrill. For most guys, that time is when you are born. Danny and Casey start walking and talking, and Dan convinces Casey by telling him Dana's going to be there: "You know what that means." "'Boogie Shoes'!" says Casey, and Dan starts "singing" "Boogie Shoes," and Casey starts "dancing." Jeremy walks into the fray, and they invite him to come along. Casey says, "If Dana gets half a margarita in her there's a better than even chance she'll get up on a table and start dancing to 'Boogie Shoes,'" as they enter the newsroom. Dana, from the other side of the newsroom, says she only did that once. Now the gang gets into a discussion about whether El Perro Fumando is "The Smoking Dog" or "The Flaming Dog." Casey says it's not "The Flaming Dog" because "the dog's not gay." Dana calls him on his subtle homophobia by saying she meant flaming as in the dog is on fire. And now we get a whole sub-argument with Kim and Elliot, who can't agree on whether the dog is smoking a cigar or a pipe (Casey having said the dog is smoking a cigarette). Is this building properly ventilated? These people are seriously fucked up, I mean it. "I say he's gay," chimes in Dan. God help me if I even need to argue about the smoking object of choice of a stupid dog in a stupidly named bar, but if the discussion were also to circle around the dog's sexual orientation, I think I'd be agreeing with the guy excited about drinking the giant blue margaritas.

Hi Paula. My twin brother and I were adopted at birth in Kansas in 1964, but later we learned our birth mother is Marjorie Kroeger from Nebraska. (She now lives in CA and has a different last name). She doesn't want to talk to us. We have no information about our genetic father. We would like to know more about the Kroeger family from which we are descended through Marjorie. Can you help us?

Finally, a downturn the corporate world can be happy about.
Financial restatements dropped dramatically in 2007, reversing nearly a decade of ever-higher numbers that reached a record in 2006. What's more, restatements fell both for companies that do need to comply with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley and those that do not—another telling sign that Corporate America's financial reporting is finally getting better.
According to data from Audit Analytics, 1,109 companies filed 1,237 restatements last year. That's a drop of 30 percent and 31 percent, respectively, from 2006 restatements.
Cheffers |
"Every way you slice it, the number, severity, and effect of financial restatements declined in 2007," says Mark Cheffers, chief executive of Audit Analytics.
Restatements had been marching steadily upward since 2001, and that trend had been the chief reason for numerous regulatory reform efforts now underway. The Securities and Exchange Commission has an advisory committee crafting recommendations aimed at reducing the number of what it says are unnecessary restatements; the Treasury Department is working on its own study due later this year on the cause of restatements.
But according to Cheffers and other financial reporting experts, the latest data on restatements is further evidence that the quality of financial reporting overall has improved since SOX arrived in 2002.
"This trend appears to indicate that publicly traded companies are adapting to the more rigorous conventions … adopted in response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules adopted to improve the accuracy and reliability of corporate financial disclosures since the collapse of Enron and WorldCom," the Audit Analytics report states.
Turner |
Among those who agree is former SEC Chief Accountant Lynn Turner. "Several studies have clearly shown that restatements are coming down in the past couple of years, as companies have implemented better controls and started to get their accounting correct on the first, rather than second try," he says.
In addition to focusing attention on a company's internal controls, SOX has also forced executives to certify the accuracy of financial statements or face severe penalties for erroneous or fraudulent numbers. That harsh dictum has focused top executives' minds on getting things right the first time.
"Holding senior executives heavily accountable creates a different culture," says David Rubenstein, a partner at accounting firm Weiser. "The tone at the top is changing."
Fewer, Smaller, and Simpler
Not only is Corporate America seeing fewer restatements, but the restatements are also smaller in size and scope. The average restatement in 2005 nicked a company's net income by $21.33 million; by 2006, the average fell to $17.8 million. Last year, the average restatement only hurt net income by $3.64 million. The largest restatement for 2007—a $341 million adjustment by General Electric—would not even crack the top five restatements in the previous two years.
Szafran |
"The sense we've gotten out in field is that the lessons of the early 2000s and the pains of implementing Sarbanes-Oxley have worked their way through the system," says Jeffrey Szafran, a managing director at Huron Consulting Group. "The types of restatements that are really problematic, like revenue recognition restatements, have begun to drop off."
Other evidence that restatements are becoming less of an ordeal:
2007 restatements cited an average of only 1.87 accounting issues, compared to 1.97 in 2006 and a record high of 2.41 in 2005.
The average 2007 restatement didn't need to look as far back into the past. At its peak in 2005, the average restatement period was 746 days. That dropped to 710 days in 2006, and only 643 days in 2007.
37 percent of last year's restatements had no effect on net income for companies trading on one of the three major U.S. exchanges, compared with roughly 30 percent in 2006 and 24 percent in 2005.
Despite the good news, non-accelerated filers—which have not yet had to comply with Section 404 of SOX—clearly lag behind their larger counterparts in improving financial reporting. The absolute number of restatements among non-accelerated filers fell from 1,048 in 2006 to only 746 last year, but the portion of restatements attributed to small filers has risen from 58 percent in 2005 to 68 percent in 2006 to 72 percent in 2007.
Ciesielski |
"I think that shows that once firms made the investment in SOX 404 systems, there was a payoff in terms of better controls leading to fewer restatements," says Jack Ciesielski, publisher of the Analyst's Accounting Observer blog. "That's an investment yet to be made by non-accelerated filers and a payoff yet to be realized."
Szafran also says it makes sense that non-accelerated filers will account for a larger portion of overall restatements. "From an internal controls standpoint, the smaller the company, the less robust the control environment is going to be," he says. Moreover, he notes, even relatively small errors are more likely to be material to a small company. "Large companies can absorb a lot of human error before they have to restate. For a smaller company, a fairly small error could be material," he says.
The Cause Remains the Same
The most common causes for restatements in 2007 were debt, quasi-debt, warrants, and equity security issues; expense-recording issues; revenue-recognition issues; deferred, stock-based, or executive compensation issues; liabilities, payables, reserves, and accrual estimate failures and acquisitions, mergers, disposals, and reorganization accounting issues. All of those were the top reasons for restatements in 2006 as well.
Cash-flow statement classification errors, which ranked seventh among restatement causes last year, have also become more common this decade. In 2001, only 0.49 percent of the restatements filed restated cash flow. That number has crept up each year to reach 11.35 percent in 2007.
Observers note that cash-flow statement classification has been a focus of regulators in recent years. Some of the restatements in that area may have been driven by past SEC staff remarks on the topic, Ciesielski says.
Cheffers calls the restatement report good news, but does cite two caveats: The effects of Financial Interpretation No. 48 and of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 shouldn't be overlooked. FIN 48 requires companies to disclose how certain they are (or are not) about their tax positions, and SAB 108 requires companies to clean up old errors that have accumulated on the balance sheet.
"Apples to apples, 2007 was a great year for financial reporting," Cheffers says. But, he adds, preliminary data show that last year at least 1,500 public companies made FIN 48 adjustments and at least 300 had SAB 108 adjustments.
Those are "effectively back-door restatements" that allow companies to make adjustments to beginning retained earnings without going through a whole restatement, Cheffers says. While both are "one-time, one-year deals," he contends that some of those adjustments might have otherwise resulted in restatements.
Going forward, Cheffers predicts fewer restatement disclosures, "but not necessarily fewer errors." He expects restatements to decline further, in part because more companies "will take advantage of the SEC's recent updates to … materiality thresholds to not disclose a restatement at all."
Observers also note that unexpected "surprises" could cause restatements to spike again.
"A few years ago, lease accounting and stock options backdating issues caught everyone by surprise, and when they hit, they hit quickly and steamrolled hundreds of registrants," Szafran says. "We've been watching and wondering, 'Is there a next one?'"
Weirich |
There may well be, according to Thomas Weirich, an accounting professor at Central Michigan University. He says a move by the United States toward International Financial Reporting Standards (something that won't happen for several years at least) could result in an uptick in restatements.
Under IFRS, which is a principles-based system, "more judgment will come into play," Weirich says. "Auditors may try to second-guess judgments and the application of IFRS," leading to a rise in restatements.

Did not like the fact booking.com overcharge me and I could've got it for less. Have no intention of using booking.com again or recommend or recommending them to someone else.
Wash bath towels in the way that they could smell good and to avoid them to be covered of body hair of previous guest!

The bathroom had not been. Cleaned, their were short and curleys on counter floor And in sink. HAs to use my wash cloth to clean it down
the decoration looks good, comfortable bed and nice yard.
just one night, nothing unsatisfaction.
bed was comfortable and the decor was nice.
Shower had hairs on the tub and wall of shower. There was hair on the toilet. Did not look very clean. The nonsmoking room was pretty much a joke. Smelt like smoke and had an ashtray in it.
Friendly at the front desk.
We were supposed to have a king bed and we did not. It was barely big enough for my wife and I. There was no carpet in the room and no extra furniture like a desk or a chair or even bed side tables. Very run down and smelled bad. Not a great experience.

Review: Killing Season
PLOT: When two Bosnian War veterans meet, they conveniently become friends. Yet once upon a time, the American and the Serbian were on opposite sides of the war. One decides to move on while the other has plans to finish what was started so many years ago. De Niro and Travolta end up shooting arrows and desperately trying to survive a war that doesn�t seem to have ended for either one.
It is hard to believe a ninety minute movie can feel as long as KILLING SEASON. Sure the John Travolta and Robert De Niro action drama attempts to inject a real sense of purpose in this tale of war and revenge but it simply falls into mediocrity. Watching the two actors spout long-winded monologues about hunting, war and confession oftentimes reaches the excitement level of a dramatic scene-study class. This is not to say that the two actors aren�t talented � clearly that is not the case � but the substance here feels forced without a real sense of honesty. Part of that may be Travolta�s extra thick helping of the ridiculous Russian accent or De Niro�s very own sometimes Southern dialect � it seemed to pop in and out during the course of the film.
The story focuses on the two men who are both Veterans of the Bosnian War. We know this by seeing a flashback of a group of Serbian soldiers captured and killed early on in 1992. Of course one of them is Emil Kovac (Travolta) in an all too silly reveal. This particular scene shouldn�t have generated a smile, but holy hell is it bad. We don�t get a glimpse however of Benjamin Ford (De Niro) but it�s pretty damn obvious he is there. Cut to present day where we find Ford is a nature photographer living in the woods � he was so traumatized that he won�t even go to his grandson�s baptism� Jerk! Of course danger is awaiting him as we find Kovac in a bar telling his buddy he is going hunting. As luck would have it, we soon find him lurking in the shadows watching Ford dealing with car trouble in a storm. Does he attempt to take revenge quickly? If only it had been, then we could have gotten this over with a whole lot faster.
This script by Evan Daugherty (SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN and the upcoming DIVERGENT and TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES) attempts to be more than just a simple action movie. And who knows, maybe at one time it was. The problem is that somewhere between art-house drivel and action flick lite, KILLING SEASON is just ponderous and dull. The obviousness was infuriating, whether it was Ford�s son (played by Milo Ventimiglia) hinting that he might come to visit his father with the family and does or the constant mention of Ford�s bad leg, you can see exactly where it is all heading. Even the end feels a bit like a cop-out. The damage these two do to each other � including shooting arrows into cheeks or calves � it seems a miracle they could survive the torture they are put through. Of course, at times it was torture to sit through as well. It is a shame that De Niro and Travolta couldn�t have made a better movie together. KILLING SEASON is competently put together, yet the woefully hollow dialogue and the predictable plot developments make for a pretty bland flick. If you can survive all that you still have to make it through the heavy-handed symbolism and Travolta�s grating accent. With all that time spent on Ford and Kovac it is nearly impossible to imagine that you wouldn�t want to root for one of these guys. But nope! Nothing! Nada! With funny accents, boring monologues and repetitive sequences, you might as well just sit in an acting class for an hour and get the same level of excitement � albeit this one has much better scenery which is a plus.

Will the marriage equality bill strip the opponents of gay marriage of their right to refuse service?
A Korean band of pastors yesterday handed parliament their legal advice, including the opinion of lawyer Ian Bassett that suggests church ministers, marriage celebrants and perhaps even wedding photographers would be breaking the law if they were to refuse their services to gay people under the bill.
The bill's proponent Louisa Wall, however, said that amounted to "scaremongering" and pastors would still be able to choose who they married.
Will the marriage equality bill remove more rights than it grants?

4.15 / 5.00 4,528 ViewsHi everyone. This was probably one of the most personal projects I've done in a long time. I had a lot of things I needed to deal with, and a game seemed like a constructive way to do so. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. Stay tuned for Chapter 2!
As always, a huge special thanks to Hania. She continues to be amazing to collaborate with, and her work is always inspiring. Thanks to Evil-Dog too, for graciously allowing me to use Outbreak.

Update: Thanks for the front page
Seemed to make enough sense, a typical evil villains plot, and then suddenly MINDSCREW!
Not as good as Alice is dead but I like it and I just love the music! O_O
I could keep this game on whole day just because I wanna listen this awesome music. :3
Really good, too bad i lag a lot on the process but good concept and storyline.

#3461 new Bug
DatabaseWrapper should pass through args and kwargs to underlying database adapter
Reported by: | Jack Moffitt <metajack@…> | Owned by: | cgrady |
Component: | Database layer (models, ORM) | Version: | master |
Severity: | Normal | Keywords: | |
Cc: | metajack@…, ramiro, manel.clos@… | Triage Stage: | Accepted |
Has patch: | yes | Needs documentation: | yes |
Needs tests: | yes | Patch needs improvement: | yes |
Easy pickings: | no | UI/UX: | no |
Currently the DatabaseWrapper (at least for the postgresql_psycopg2end) does not pass args and kwargs for cursor() calls to the underlying database adapter. This makes it impossible to use the adapter fully at the low level. For example, to use dict cursors in psycopg2 you have to pass a different cursor factory via the cursor_factory keyword argument to cursor(). The attached patch passes through args and kwargs for cursor() calls.

A good idea -- orthogonal to DATABASE_OPTIONS added some time back -- but this needs to be done in a cross-database way, not just for one backend.

Sure, a cross database way would just be to apply the same style patch to other backends, no? Why not file a seperate bug for that project to replicate this patch on the other backends, instead of holding this one up until a perfect solution arrives.

The current patch still needs documentation (topics/db/sql.txt would seem to be a reasonable location) and doesn't patch the SQLite or Oracle backends. Also, it should be possible to test this, at least in a backend-specific fashion (checking settings.DATABASE_ENGINE in the test). I'd like to see a test for at least one backend.
Whoever fixes it should have a "reasonable attempt" at the Oracle backend -- I realise testing that can be tricky, but we can get confirmation of correctness from other people before applying.

Spot The "Housing Recovery" Disconnect(s)
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/23/2013 11:23 -0500Confused about the latest disconnect between reality and propaganda, this time affecting the (foreclosure-stuffed) housing "recovery" which has become the only upside that the bulls can point to when demonstrating the effectiveness of QE now that the latest attempt at economic recovery has failed miserably both in the US and globally? Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg is here to clear any confusion.

March New Home Sales As Expected While Average Home Price Plunges To Nine Month Low
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/23/2013 09:27 -0500It is only logical that after last month's New Home Sales miss (exp. 420, printed 411K), which sent the market higher, today's tiniest of beats in New Home Sales, which printed at 417K, on expectations of 416K, would also send the market higher. The total months of supply indicated was 4.4, the same as February, and well above the 4.0 from January. Unnoticed in the release was that the January housing data was revised higher from 431K to 445K, meaning last month's drop would have been even more acute (-7.6% instead of -4.6%), but who cares about such things as data chronology now that the headline effect is long gone. All that matters is that the trend is the mainstream media's friend, which can report new home sales have grown once more... if only back to levels last seen in April of 2010 when the same number was 422K. Was the data actually meaningful on a long-term basis? We will let readers decide on their own after one look at the chart below. Finally, and this will not be mentioned anywhere, the average New Home price plunged from $310,000 to $279,900 - the lowest since June of 2012. One can only imagine the step down in quality that was required to make up in volume what was "lost" in price.

Daily US Opening News And Market Re-Cap: April 23
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/23/2013 07:09 -0500Yet another round of less than impressive macroeconomic data from China and Eurozone failed to deter equity bulls and heading into the North American crossover, stocks in Europe are seen higher, with tech and financials as best performers. The disappointing PMI data from Germany, where the Services component fell below the expansionary 50, underpins the view that the ECB will likely cut the benchmark interest rates next month and may even indicate that it is prepared to provide additional support via LTROs. As a result, the EONIA curve bull flattened and the 2/10s German spread flattened by almost 3bps to levels not seen since June 2012. In turn, Bund future hit YTD peak at 146.77 and the next technical level to note is 146.89, 1st June 2012 high. However it is worth noting that the upside traction is also being supported by large coupon payments and redemptions from France, the second highest net market inflow for 2013.

Latest Global Economic Slowdown Confirmed After Disappointing Chinese, German PMI Data
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/23/2013 05:54 -0500If there was any debate about the global economic contraction, driven largely due to pundits confusing manipulated stock market levitation with this anachronistic thing called the "economy" and fundamentals for the fourth year in a row, all doubts were removed after this morning's manufacturing PMI data out of China, which as reported previously was a big disappointment (sending the Composite firmly into the red for the year down 2.57% to 2184.5) only to be followed by just as disappointing manufacturing and services PMI data out of Germany, which tumbled from 49 and 50.9 to 47.9 and 49.2, respectively, missing estimates of 49.and 51. The composite German PMI tumbled to a 6-month low of 48.8 as a result, meaning the European economic deterioration is just getting started, and at the worst possible time for Merkel several months ahead of her reelection campaign. The end result was a miss in the blended Eurozone Mfg PMI, which dropped from 46.8 to 46.5, even as the less relevant Services component eaked out a small gain from 46.4 to 46.6, on the back of a dead cat bounce in French economic indicators. Bottom line: a contraction in both European manufacturing and services for the 15th consecutive month. Some "recovery."

Gold Surges In Quiet Trading Session
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2013 05:58 -0500With no macro data on the docket (the NAR's self promotional "existing home sales" advertising brochure is anything but data), the market will be chasing the usual carry currency pair suspects for hints how to trade. Alas, with even more ominous economics news out of Europe, and an apparently inability of Mrs Watanabe to breach 100 on the USDJPY (hitting 99.98 for the second time in two weeks before rolling over once more), we may be rangebound, or downward boung if CAT shocks everyone with just how bad the Chinese (and global) heavy construction (and thus growth) reality truly is. One asset, however, that has outperformed and is up by well over 2% is gold, trading at $1435 at last check, over $100 from the lows posted a week ago, and rising rapidly on no particular news as the sell off appears to be over and now the snapback comes and the realization that Goldman was happily buying everything its clients were selling all along.

Cyprus Contagion Spreads As European "Omnishambles" Return; Euro Under 1.28 For First Time Since November
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/27/2013 05:59 -0500While everyone likes to hate on Cyprus, it is Italy that is the focal point of today's European "omnishambles" that has seen the EURUSD tumble to a five month low as of this writing. First it was economic data that scared investors, with Industrial Sales and Orders tumbling far below expected, posting numbers of -1.3% and -1.4%, respectively, on expectations of an increase. Retail sales were just as ugly, declining by -0.5% in January, on expectations of an unchanged print, with the December 0.2% number revised also into negative territory. Then Bersani, who has been tasked to form a government until tomorrow, said that the possibility of a broad coalition government does not exist, adding that no lasting government is possible without him as a premier, and requesting that Grillo's Five Star party not block his path to government, for which we wish him the best of luck as moments later Five Star ruled out all external support for a broad government and would vote no confidence for Bersani. Then we got news that the Italian financial police has searched the Nomura in Milan in connection with the Monte Paschi case, which means even more skeletons in the closet are about to be uncovered. Finally, Italy just held a 3.5% 5 and 4.5% 10 year bond auction in which the country raised less than the maximum targeted €7 billion, and in which the Bid to Cover on the 5 Year dumping to the lowest since 2002, with bidding quite soft and the yield rising to 3.65% versus 3.59% previously. This has resulted in a blow out in Italian yields by 16 bps to 4.73% compared to 4.705% earlier. End result, as noted yesterday, has been an acceleration in the rush out of the EUR, with the EURUSD sliding to under 1.28 for the first time since November 21, a blow out in Greek bonds with yields pushing up 55 bps to 12.68% and a push for real safety (sorry, not the DJIA) in the form of German 2 Year bonds, which have dipped to -0.018%, the lowest since December, on rising fears that despite endless lies out of its bureaucrats, Europe may not be fixed after all.

It is clear now that we must have been wrong about the economy. No more proof is needed than the fact the Dow has gone up 1,500 points. Everyone knows the stock market reflects the true health of the nation – multi-millionaire Jim Cramer and his millionaire CNBC talking head cohorts tell us so. Ignore the fact that the bottom 80% only own 5% of the financial assets in this country and are not benefitted by the stock market in any way. It is time to open your eyes and arise from your stupor. Observe what is happening around you. Look closely. Does the storyline match what you see in your ever day reality? It is them versus us. Whether you call them the invisible government, ruling class, financial overlords, oligarchs, the powers that be, ruling elite, or owners; there are powerful wealthy men who call the shots in this global criminal enterprise. No amount of propaganda can cover up the physical, economic, social, and psychological descent afflicting our world. There's a bad moon rising and trouble is on the way.

Another Dow All-Time High But Bonds/Credit/Banks Ain't Buying It
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/26/2013 15:10 -0500Wealth levies and a European banking system collapsing; dismal capital goods new orders; a miss for new home sales and Richmond Fed; almost the lowest volume of the year in stocks, and Treasury bonds trading at their lowest yield since the Cyprus debacle started - a perfect recipe to try a run to all-time closing highs in the S&P 500. The previous high close (not intraday) was 1565.17 on 10/09/07 and we missed it by less than 2 points today. What has taken us to these new post-Cyprus highs, safety - Staples, Healthcare, and Utilities (up 1-3% since 3/15 Cyprus). Banks remain battered with C, GS, and MS all down 5-6%. Treasuries and corporate bonds reflected a considerably different perspective on risk-appetite to stocks today. While the USD largely flatlined, with JPY weakening, EURJPY (and WTI it seems) led stocks higher on dismal volume. Gold, silver, and copper flatlined (following the USD's lead) but the disconnect between VIX/Stocks and Bonds/Credit was extreme by the close. VIX remains 1.5 vols higher than it was when stocks were last here and the protection bid in credit markets (and low volume in stocks) suggests equity algos simply forgot that Europe opens again in 8 hours.

March Consumer Confidence Plunges As New Home Sales, Richmond Fed Miss
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/26/2013 09:11 -0500Houston we may have a problem: with the DJIA trumpetedely hitting new all time highs day after day in March, one would expect that its traditional second derivative - US Consumer Confidence, would be at all time highs as well, or close thereby. One would be wrong, because according to the Conference Board, March consumer confidence plunged to 59.7 from 69.6, and well below expectations of a 67.5 print. Both components of the index dipped, with both the present situation and expectations indices sliding from 61.4 and 72.4, to 57.9 and 60.9, respectively. And just to make sure the S&P ramps to all time highs on ongoing miserable economic, corporate profit and, of course, sovereign insolvency news, we got both New Home Sales, dropping from 431K to 411K, missing expectations of 420K, and the Richmond Fed also missing expectations of a 6 print, dropping from last month's 6 to 3. All in all, if this latest round of ugly and rapidly getting worse economic data doesn't send the S&P to new all time highs, nothing will. Well, perhaps another European country going broke may do the trick...

Overnight Market: "It's All Cypriot To Me"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/26/2013 05:58 -0500Another session in which the market continues to be "cautiously optimistic" about Europe, but is confused about Cyprus which keeps sending the wrong signals: in the aftermath of the Diesel-Boom fiasco, the announcement that the preciously announced reopening of banks was also subsequently "retracted" and pushed back to at least Thursday, did little to soothe fears that anyone in Europe has any idea what they are doing. Additional confusion comes from the fact that the Chairman of the Bank of Cyprus moments ago submitted his resignation: recall that this is the bank that is supposed to survive, unlike its unluckier Laiki competitor which was made into a sacrificial lamb. This confusion has so far prevented the arrival of the traditional post-Europe open ramp, as the EURUSD is locked in a range below its 200 DMA and it is unclear what if anything can push it higher, despite the Yen increasingly becoming the funding currency of choice.

Overnight Tensions Eased As Italy Sells 5, 10 Year Bonds
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/27/2013 07:09 -0500With little on the event calendar in the overnight session, the main news many were looking forward to was Italy's auction of €2.5 billion in 5 and €4 billion in 10 year paper, to see just how big the fallout from the Hung Parliament election was in the primary market. As SocGen explained ahead of the auction: "The target of Italy's 2017 and 2023 BTP auction today is a maximum EUR6.5bn, but in order to get to that tidy amount the Tesoro may be forced to offer a hefty mark-up in yield to compensate investors for the extra risk. Note that Italian 6-month bills were marked up at yesterday's sale from 0.731% to 1.237%. Who knows what premium investors will be asking for today for paper with the kind of duration that is not covered by the ECB OMT (should that be activated)? Will Italian institutions, already long BTPs relative to overall asset size, be forced to hoover up most of the supply?" The outcome was a successful auction which, however, as expected saw yields spike with the 4 year paper pricing at 3.59% compared to 2.95% before, while the 10 Year paper priced some 60 bps wider to the 4.17% in January, yielding 4.83%. The result was a brief dip in Italian OTR BTP yield, which have since retraced all gains and are once again trading in the 4.90% range on their way to 5%+ as JPM forecast yesterday. And as expected, talk promptly emerged that the auction was carried by "two large domestic buyers" in other words, the two big local banks merely levered up on Italian paper hoping furiously that they are not the next MF Global.

Turnaround Tuesday
Submitted by David Fry on 02/26/2013 20:36 -0500Ben was in congress campaigning er, testifying mostly about the effectiveness of all things ZIRP and QE. He was grilled about possible risks with QE especially if interest rates should rise. The Bernank saying that interest rates would rise was unlikely but he then cavalierly stated if rates rise, the Fed would just "hold back on payments" er, stiff the Treasury. That's no big deal for him since by then he'll be down the road writing his memoirs, making speeches and joining some big Wall Street firm as a well-paid consultant. The Bernank was also asked if he noted any bubbles or market excess and said he saw none.

Now That Is A President – Damn It!
From Ms.blog, H/T to Steve Benen…..(WARNING: Foul language follows the indented text below)
One in three Native American women will be raped at least once in her lifetime. And that's why President Obama's signing of the Tribal Law and Order Act today is so vital. Tribes will now have the right–and the resources–to investigate and prosecute rapes perpetrated by non-Natives on tribal lands.
Because until today, Native women raped by a non-Indian assailant had virtually no recourse. With rare exceptions, only federal law enforcement authorities have had jurisdiction to arrest and prosecute non-Native offenders on tribal lands. And historically, federal authorities have cared little about such cases: Federal authorities routinely decline to prosecute more than 50 percent of all violent crimes committed in Indian Country; the rate of declination is much higher for sexual assault cases.
Today that will change. The Tribal Law and Order Act will substantially expand tribal jurisdiction over non-Native offenders for crimes of sexual violence, and providing desperately needed resources to tribes to help them prosecute such cases. Introduced in 2009 in the House by Rep. Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin (D-SD) and in the Senate by Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND), the legislation is a watershed in tribal law. Provisions include:
• Deputizes tribal police to arrest and prosecute non-Natives who commit crimes on tribal land
• Provides tribal police with access to National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and other federal databases containing criminal records and other information
• Requires the Department of Justice to maintain records on all declinations and to share that information, as well as any evidence, with tribal authorities
• Requires federal officials to turn over to tribal authorities any documents and testimony that may aid tribal court prosecutions
• Raises the maximum sentence that tribal courts can impose on an offender from one to three years
• Provides tribal police with targeted training in evidence collection and interviewing of sexual and domestic violence survivors
• Requires the Indian Health Service (IHS) to implement consistent protocols at all facilities for treating sexual assault survivors
• Reauthorizes and enhances programs to support tribal police, courts, and corrections programs
• Provides programs for at-risk young people on reservations.
I heard about this fucking bullshit on NPR over a year ago and have talked about doing a documentary about it because up until today, when our awesome president signed this law, those motherfucking rapists have been getting away with it. They've been ruining these young girls' and women's lives and deserve to rot in jail for it – in a cell with "Bubba".

Who The Hell Am I!
I'm a liberal that is extreme in some ways and not in others. I support President Obama and make no apologies for it. I think he has done a phenomenal job, especially when you consider that he inherited a huge mess and has faced unprecedented opposition from a lazy & desperate Republican Party. I'm a film producer/director/editor, adjunct professor, technician, media critic and photographer when I'm not reading left wing blogs and typing on this one. – On Twitter @ExtremeLiberal or Email at liberalforreal (at) gmail.com

Product description
Marie Antoinette's dramatic life-story continues to arouse mixed emotions. To many people, she is still 'la reine mechante', whose extravagance and frivolity helped to bring down the French monarchy; her indifference to popular suffering epitomised by the (apocryphal) words: 'let them eat cake'. Others are equally passionate in her defence: to them, she is a victim of misogyny. Antonia Fraser examines her influence over the king, Louis XVI, the accusations and sexual slurs made against her, her patronage of the arts which enhanced French cultural life, her imprisonment, the death threats made against her, rumours of lesbian affairs, her trial (during which her young son was forced to testify to sexual abuse by his mother) and her eventual execution by guillotine in 1793.

Review quote
That fatal combination of a magnificent story, magnificently well told. It's the perfect book in which to lose yourself when you can afford to do nothing else for a day or so. -- Lucy Worsley WAITROSE WEEKEND
Editorial reviews
Antonia Fraser has written an absorbing, richly detailed and pleasingly illustrated new study of the French Queen which is a careful rexamination of the stereotypical embodiment of wilful extravagance and flouncing arrogance. The 'journey' of the title, is that of the 14-year old princess from the Imperial palace in Vienna, via the Royal Court of her husband Louis XVI at Versailles to a 'squalid cell' in Paris prior to execution by guillotine, her head displayed on a spike to an uproarious crowd. There seems a terrible inevitability in the journey: Marie Antoinette was mistrusted in France from the start: vilified as 'L'Autrichienne', her task was impossible, to unite in the person of an heir the two warring nations of France and Austria. She thus became, in Antonia Fraser's judgement, 'the female scapegoat' for the ills and excesses of the Court, her extravagance legendary, though in fact modest in comparison to that of her husband and others at a court where display and the ability to dazzle equalled power. She was, Antonia Fraser concedes, frivolous, imprudent and weak, yet she was also intelligent, neither wanton, nor manipulative, and no, she never actually said 'let them eat cake' when the people asked for bread - this was an accusation flung at most 18th century foreign queens - though by 1793 had Mary Antoinette leaned from the window of her carriage and offered the starving poor a brioche, they would probably have spat on it, suspecting that it would be poisoned such was the hatred and fear of 'the royal monster'.
