House passes watered-down bill to curb NSA data collection
- Kent Hoover
- Washington Bureau Chief
- Email | Twitter | Google
The House passed legislation Thursday to curb National Security Agency collection of Americans' telephone records, but privacy advocates aren't happy about it.
That's because the USA Freedom Act, which passed on a 303-121 vote, was changed so much on its way to the House floor that one of its original sponsors, Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., voted against it.
"This morning's bill maintains and codifies a large-scale, unconstitutional domestic spying program," Amash said.
The legislation prohibits the government from ordering a telephone company to turn over all of its call records, but it "was so weakened in behind-the-scenes negotiations over the last week that the government still can order -- without probable cause -- a telephone company to turn over all call records for 'area code 616' or for 'phone calls made east of the Mississippi," he said.
Robyn Green, a policy counsel at the New America Foundation's Open Technology Institute, said the bill "may ban 'bulk' collection of all records of a particular kind, but still allow for 'bulky' collection impacting the privacy of millions of people. Before this bill becomes law, Congress must make clear … that the government is not allowed to engage in mass collection such as grabbing records of all phone calls in a particular area code, all Internet accounts in a particular zip code, all emails sent through a particular email service or all transactions made through a particular bank."
The transparency provisions sought by technology companies in regard to NSA data requests also were weakened.
"It's particularly galling that the administration objected, in secret, to certain provisions that would have allowed companies to report more detailed statistics about government requests," said Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Brennan Center's Liberty and National Security Program.
"We hope the Senate makes significant improvements to the bill to provide the protections from mass surveillance that the public deserves," said Harley Geiger, senior counsel for the Center for Democracy and Technology.
Senate Judiciary Committee Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said he too "was disappointed that the legislation passed today does not include some of the meaningful reforms contained in the original USA Freedom Act." He promised to push for these reform when his committee considers the bill next month.
The White House, however, contends the House bill "ensures our intelligence and law enforcement professionals have the authorities they need to protect the nation, while further ensuring that individuals' privacy is appropriately protected when these authorities are employed."

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
Patrick Stewart gives emotional response to abuse question
Patrick Stewart is awesome.
Ar a recent appearance at a comic convention, Stewart answered a woman who commented on his speech about domestic violence at Amnesty International.
Watch the whole video. Not only does Stewart give an incredibly personal answer, he gives the woman -- who was herself an abuse victim -- and tells her "You're safe now."
Mr. Stewart, you win.

Cirque du Soleil: Kooza
Its been about a decade since the blue-and-yellow Grand Chapiteau (big top) was seen at Santa Monica Pier. This touring production marks the 25th anniversary of Montreal-based Cirque du Soleil, and also heralds a return to the simpler, less high-tech formats that informed earlier productions like Quidam and Allegria the emphasis here being on the old circus traditions of clowning and acrobatics. But thats not to say that there is something missing here. On the contrary, creator-director David Shiner, who made quite a name for himself as a clown in outings like Fool Moon, has packed this show with drama, comedy, whimsy, music, exotica, slick choreography, and plenty of how-do-they-do-that? moments. The show starts with an Innocent (Stephan Landry) opening a box containing a trickster (Mike Tyus), who reveals the magical world of the circus. And what a world it is! The clowns pull off some dazzling and funny routines, and interact throughout with the audience. Contortionists Julie Bergez, Natasha Patterson and Dasha Sovik twist their tiny bodies into letters of the alphabet, among other things. Lee Thompson amazes with a pickpocket routine at the expense of an unsuspecting attendee. Jimmy Ibarra and Angelo Lyerzkysky garnered a standing ovation for their superhuman feats on the Wheel of Death a daunting contraption that resembles two interconnected hamster wheels. Marie-Chantale Valliancourts collage of costumes are stunning. Under the Grand Chapiteau at the Santa Monica Pier. Tues.-Thurs, 8 p.m.; Fri-Sat., 4 & 8 p.m.; Sun., 1 & 5 p.m.; through December 20. cirquedusoleil.com/kooza or (800) 450-1480.
Fri., Oct. 16, 8 p.m.; Fridays, Saturdays, 4 & 8 p.m.; Tuesdays-Thursdays, 8 p.m. Starts: Oct. 16. Continues through Dec. 20, 2009

Bolton: On baseball being king in Columbia and other tidbits
COLUMBIA CITY Council's decision to plant a minor league baseball stadium in the middle of the old State Hospital site on Bull Street fundamentally changes the focus of the mega-development some say could transform the Midlands.
Remember the transformative mixed-use development predicted for the site? While that's still the plan, make no mistake, folks: This is now about baseball. What else can it be about once you plunk a ballpark in the middle? A ballpark will always be … a ballpark.
A while back, developer Bob Hughes talked about how potential tenants were drafting plans based on baseball. He even said that a firm considering converting the Babcock Building into a hotel might pull out if there was no baseball stadium.
Here's the upshot: Once that stadium is built, it's always going to have to be occupied and vibrant or it will negatively affect the entire development.
What if Hardball Capital, which the city has contracted with to bring a team to Columbia and operate the stadium, doesn't make it for some reason? The city will immediately be in the hunt for a new ball team.
The fact that the development will always depend on an occupied baseball stadium got me to thinking: As good a deal as Hardball Capital got, it's likely to get even more favorable treatment going forward. But it's locked in to a 30-year deal, you say? Yeah, right. I wonder how many times that deal will be amended in the first five years.
If Hardball goes under, expect the owners of the next team that comes in to get their own sweet deal. Why? Because a ballpark always will be a ballpark, and once you've put yourself in the position of not only being dependent on it but also subsidizing it, you'll always subsidize it.
These thoughts were among several that went through my mind last week during the special called meeting at which City Council approved the deal to contribute $29 million toward the ballpark while Hardball Capital of Atlanta contributes $6 million.
Here are some other thoughts and odds and ends that stuck out during the meeting:• There's still a chance that those who had been calling for a cost-benefit analysis of this project will get their wish, although belatedly.
Critics had asked City Council to delay a final vote on the ballpark so the study could be conducted. But a majority of council members, led by Mayor Steve Benjamin, said they didn't need a study to take a final vote; enough study had been done on the economic impact of the project, they said.
But the analysis to determine the costs to the city and the benefits that will come from the development still might happen, though not just because critics asked for it.
City Manager Teresa Wilson and city staff have requested it. Ms. Wilson said that staff have been wanting to have an analysis done for a while but did not have the necessary data.
That would be data from Mr. Hughes, who just recently agreed to provide it.
What's the use in doing an analysis after the council has already decided? Ms. Wilson said the $50,000 study would be a useful tool as the city continues its involvement in the development of Bull Street and the ballpark.• Some people who spoke at last week's meeting continued to repeat misconceptions of how the city can spend hospitality taxes, which will be used to fund the ballpark. I've heard many people say that with basic services lacking in the city and people having so many needs, the $29 million should be spent on such priorities instead of baseball. While I agree the city should be able to use this money to meet more pressing service needs, the 2 percent tax on prepared food can be spent only on tourism-related items — until the Legislature decides otherwise.
During discussion about how the city would fulfill its financial obligations to the stadium, it was pointed out that the agreement says the city's full faith and credit would not be on the line. Now, legally, that might be true. But politically, is that true?
What happens if the ballpark is in the final phase of completion and the city's $29 million and Hardball's $6 million have been spent? Will the city sit back and say, "Nope, can't do it" if Hardball says it's tapped out? And what if the ballclub goes belly up five or 10 years down the road? Who do you think will pay the freight until the next team is landed, if one ever is? Who'll pay the routine maintenance and other costs that were Hardball's responsibility?
Let's hope I'm wrong and that there is no circumstance, no matter how dire, under which the city's full faith and credit can come into play.• Two speakers last week, as well as a few of our letter writers, have suggested there should have been a referendum on the ballpark. No. No. No.
It's City Council's job to make such decisions. Voters choose council members to serve on their behalf; they're to learn and understand the business of the city — from taxing and spending to zoning and planning — and make decisions based on the knowledge and understanding they've gathered.
Placing the baseball stadium on the ballot would defeat the purpose of representative democracy. Let the council decide, and if the people don't like the decision, they can take it up with council members at the polls.
A former City Council member pointed out to me that the damage could already be done by election time. That's true. But that's the case with any elected body at any level. Our system is a risky one based on trust: We trust the voters to decide who should serve. We trust those leaders to take care of the public's business. And, based on how they perform, we trust the voters to decide whether the leaders should be re-elected or shown the door.
A final thought: While many people spoke passionately in favor of a ballpark and urged City Council to be bold and approve it for the children, for the city's future, for the jobs, for … you get the picture, they didn't address the financial details. My point? While people were supporting baseball, they weren't demanding that it had to come by way of a deal that favors Hardball over city taxpayers.
They would have been equally happy if City Council had negotiated more aggressively in taxpayers' favor. I never have gotten the feeling that this council really went to bat for taxpayers and said to Hardball, "We won't cross this line."
I know lots of research was done and city officials looked at other cities' agreements with minor-league teams in constructing this deal. But Columbia needed a deal for Columbia. We didn't get that.

Big Bang 'Monster' MV Hits 10 Million Views 'Already Their 4th Time'
By Staff Writer | June 17, 2012 11:20 AM EDT
Group Big Bang's new song 'Monster' MV has already received over 10 million views. It's already their 4th music video getting over 10 million views just within this year.
Like Us on Facebook
According to YouTube on June 17, the music video of Big Bang's new song 'Monster' got 10.4 million views. After their songs 'Blue,' 'Fantastic Baby,' and 'Bad Boy,' it's already their 4th time. Of the Korean songs released within this year, total of 5 songs has reached over 10 million views, 4 of them being Big Bang's songs and the other TaeTiSeo's 'Twinkle.'
With their new song 'Monster', Big Bang has already dominated all music charts. They have been rank 1 in the music charts MelOn, Mnet, Bugs, Soribada, and their other songs 'Still Alive,' 'Round and Round,' 'Feeling,' and 'Ego' have also been in the top of the music charts.
They've also been selling unbelievable amounts of albums. According to Hanteo Chart, Big Bang sold 15,000 copies within one day, making a record. The group is expected to surpass 500,000 sales mark with 'Alive' and special edition 'Still Alive' just in the first half of this year.
What's most interesting is that Big Bang has not been having any promotion or activities with this album at all since its release. Big Bang members are currently busy due to their Japan tour, so they have not been able to meet their fans with their new album.

Since recording the interview about TunerFreeMCE with Martin Milmore a few weeks ago Martin has added a lot of features to the application so I thought was worth doing an update. In the interview Martin talks about needing mouse clicks to trigger playback and he has updated the app so this no longer necessary, also in the interview Martin said he was planning Radio services which he has now added to the program. Also worth noting is that in the interview Martin said that he expected more TV companies to switch to Flash streaming and as he predicted on April 1st Channel 4 moved to Flash

Pope Francis on Monday became the first pope to visit a Pentecostal church, and issued an apology for Fascist-era denunciations of Pentecostals by Catholics, which in turn prompted an Evangelical leader to apologise for historic Protestant discrimination against Catholics.
The the Secretary General of the World Evangelical Alliance, Revd Dr Geoff Tunnicliffe, said Pope Francis had set a "great example" with the remarks he made at the under-construction Evangelical Church of Reconciliation in the southern city of Caserta, 20 miles north of Naples.
Pope Francis told the Pentecostals that the same Holy Spirit who created unity in the Church was also the source of a "very rich and beautiful" diversity in it.
Speaking to between 200 and 300 Pentecostals from Italy, the US and Argentina in the church, Francis referred to the time in Italy's history when the practice of Pentecostal Christianity was forbidden.
"Among those who persecuted and denounced Pentecostals, almost as if they were crazy people trying to ruin the race, there were also Catholics," he said. Fulfilling a request of the Italian Evangelical community, he went on: "I am the pastor of Catholics, and I ask your forgiveness for those Catholic brothers and sisters who didn't know and were tempted by the devil."
He acknowledged the remarkable nature of his visit, saying: "Someone will be surprised: 'The Pope went to visit the Evangelicals?' But he went to see his brothers."
Revd Tunnicliffe told Vatican Radio that ecumenical relations were deepened by trust and friendship, adding: "I recognise that in history there have been situations where Protestants, including Evangelicals, have discriminated against Catholic Christians and I am really sorry for these kinds of actions, because while we can disagree theologically, this should never lead to discrimination or persecution of the other. We all need to acknowledge all our failings and ask each other for forgiveness, and I think Pope Francis set a great example."
During Francis' visit on Monday the church's pastor, Revd Traettino, a close friend of the Pope, told him his visit was "unthinkable until recently," but added, "even among Evangelicals there is great affection for you. Many of us pray for you, every day. Many of us, in fact, believe your election as bishop of Rome was the work of the Holy Spirit."
Francis in June met US televangelists James Robinson and Kenneth Copeland and megachurch pastor Joel Osteen. Traettino was present on 1 June when Francis addressed a charismatic gathering in Rome's Olympic Stadium. Earlier this year Francis recorded an iPhone video message with Evangelical Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer for church leaders attending a conference hosted by Copeland. Bishop Palmer, who would have attended yesterday's events, was killed in a motorcycle accident last week.
There was opposition to the visit from Catholics and Evangelicals. In a statement earlier this month several Italian Evangelical groups met in Caserta and stressed the "incompatibility" of their beliefs with that of the Catholic Church and the Pope.
Francis had to reschedule his visit from Saturday to Monday after it was pointed out that it would have clashed with the city's big St Anne's Day celebrations. Francis asked a Vatican official to help organise a Mass "to remove this noose from around my neck".
Before celebrating Mass in the city's main square the Pope met local clergy. "Never be afraid to dialogue with anyone," Pope Francis told thm. Dialogue is not being defensive about one's faith, although it can mean explaining what one believes. And it is not pressuring another to join one's faith, he said.

A/N: Apologies for delays. I know my actually getting writing done record is crap. I hope I can at the very least get a little forgiveness from those of you still reading. I brought plot. And ice cream.
Many of you have probably noticed that I'm being obnoxious and withholding the plot. That would be because this chapter hasn't happened yet (which is to say, I couldn't figure out how to write it). Fortunately, I figured out, at least to some extent, how to do it without Thor (who isn't allowed to show up until much much later due to plot). I don't know how long this is gonna be either. Maybe super short, maybe super long. I'm just gonna keep writing 'till what has to happen happens.
Also. I just want to give a super big thanks to anyone who still believes in this story.
Tony knocks on the door to the trickster's room at around ten at night. Loki pokes his head out, glaring at his host. "What is it now, Stark?"
Tony raises an eyebrow. "What now? Did I bother you recently?" Loki rolls his eyes. "Can you tell me how, because I haven't seen you all day."
"I would ask why you choose to see me now then. There is no law requiring you to spend time in my presence each day." He pulls his head back and prepares to close the door.
"Why would I ever NOT want to see you? You're just so nice to be around." Loki frowns, and Tony pushes the door open a little wider. "I've been nice and let you live here. Maybe you could do something for me."
"You wouldn't let me leave if I tried."
"Of course not, but you aren't dead yet, are you?" He pauses, then adds awkwardly, "By our standards, I mean." Loki pauses a minute, and his face takes on a neutrality that makes Tony uneasy.
"No," the god replies finally. "I'm not." The door opens a little further and Loki steps back to allow Tony passage and then closes it behind him. Tony notes the god's uncomfortable glance at his suit briefcase, which he does not put down this time. "Why are you here?"
Tony doesn't answer, he gestures to Loki's single chair, a large soft armchair that Steve had picked out because it looked like 'the most comfortable chair on the planet, Tony!' Loki glances darkly at the chair, but doesn't move an inch.
Loki remains motionless.
"Don't make me ask nicely, I won't do it, you know."
"Do not mock me, mortal."
Tony raises an eyebrow. "And you were being so nice too." Loki holds back a hiss and settles for an unamused glare.
"You have not withheld your intentions before."
"If I tell you what I'm here for, will you sit down?" Tony attempts to negotiate.
Tony frowns. It Is the best he seems likely to get, but he is not accustomed to having control taken from him, though it seems that by now maybe he should be. "I need to ask you about some things. For all the time you've been here, you haven't told us much."
The god glares at him. "I should have suspected-"
"Okay reindeer games, let's get something straight," Tony says, cutting off the visibly surprised god. "I'm not being sneaky or trying to coerce you into doing what I say or telling me things by being nice. If I'm being a decent guy, it's because I am one. If I want information from you, it's because I want information. The nice things aren't tied to or even related to the information, so let's drop that attempt at guilt tripping before it starts."
"What leads you to believe that anything I can tell is any of your concern?" hisses Loki.
"What if I was going to ask you your favorite ice cream flavor?"
"Iced cream sounds disgusting, and regardless that is not what you intend to ask."
Tony stops. "Wait, hold the phone. You don't like ice cream?"
Loki wrinkles his nose. "I have never eaten it, but it sounds highly distasteful."
The billionaire stares at Loki with a look of mock horror. "We need to fix this. Now. Loki, come on, we're getting you some ice cream."
A confused Loki follows a determined Tony Stark into what the Avengers use as the main living room. It's an area that is technically off-limits to Loki, but he figures if anyone calls him on it, he will point out the fact that Stark has practically dragged him down here and, up until moments ago, was pulling him along by the wrist.
Stark stands in the door of the room and spreads his arms wide. "My friends," he shouts above the sound of the movie they are watching. Banner and Rogers look up, while the spider and the hawk hardly bother. Loki suspects from the raised eyebrows Stark gets from his fellow mortals that incursions such as this are not abnormal. Stark continues, unfazed. "We are going on an ice cream trip!" At this, Barton does look up, and Bruce sighs.
"With Loki?" his fellow scientist asks, alerting the other avengers to the liesmith's presence, were they not already aware. Stark nods sagely.
"The poor man has been deprived of ice cream. I could hardly let this injustice go unrighted."
"So basically you wanted ice cream," translates Rogers.
"When do we leave?" Barton pipes up. Loki wonders what this iced cream could have that would cause Barton to want to come on such a venture with him of all people. He supposes the man might just want a chance at killing him should he attempt escape.
"Right now. Get your shoes on," Tony shouts, tossing Loki a coat.
The six of them, five heroes and one rather mundane-looking villain, leave the house late at night and begin their walk down the brightly lit New York streets. A couple teens giggle as they pass and a man in his late forties stops and stares, but these are the outliers tonight. The Avengers are seen so often in this part of town that hardly anyone takes much notice anymore. They're just four laughing men now, often seen wandering the streets. Sightings of Natasha are rarer, but even so, no one takes much notice.
Down the street, a left turn, Loki spies a stray cat. It's funny, he wouldn't have expected to find one so close to so many people. For a moment he is tempted to scoop it up and bring it along, but then he remembers whose company he's in and looks away with a sigh.
A right. A large group of men and women stumble past, all dressed in what is Midgardian formal attire, but reeking of alcohol. They smell a little like Tony, he supposes, but with less metallic energy and more chemical cleaners.
A left and a short hundred feet and they're standing out in front of a shop. It is labelled Ice Cream Love, and its sign features a picture of a brown triangle topped by two brightly colored circles.
Tony steps in, grinning, followed closely by Clint. Loki realizes he is walking beside Steve and quickens his pace, pushing through the door cautiously, but quickly nonetheless. Steve catches the door as it's closing and, ever the gentleman, holds it open for Natasha.
Clint is already speaking to the man behind the counter when Tony claps Loki on the shoulder, getting himself an annoyed glare from the god.
"This," Tony says, gesturing at the many buckets of various colorful substances, "Is ice cream. Pick any flavor you want."
Loki steps forward to view the colorful substances through the glass. There are several that are shades of white and brown, as well as a couple with several colors, three buckets of varying pinks, one of blue, two of yellow, and one of green with black bits in it. He points through the glass so that Tony can see his choice.
"That one."
Tony smirks. "Shoulda known you'd pick green." He turns to the man behind the counter. "Two scoops of mint chip in a sugar cone." The man spoons two scoops of ice cream into a cone the same color as the triangle on the sign. Tony trades him cash for it, and then hands the treat to Loki. "Here you go. Now go sit over there with Cap."
For once, Loki doesn't really consider disobeying, nor does he think about the fact that he is taking orders from a mortal. He's too preoccupied trying to figure out how one is supposed to eat iced cream. Glancing over at a couple a few meters away, he decides that the method is just to lick it. He does so and is surprised at how much he likes the frigid sweetness that clings to his tongue. He takes a bite of the minty iced cream before heading over to the booth Steve is sitting at.
Loki slides in next to the supersoldier, careful to keep several inches between the two of them. Steve is eating a paper cup full of white ice cream with a plastic spoon, but almost drops the spoon when the god appears next to him.
The two of them eat their ice cream in awkward silence for a moment before Loki casually says, "Tell me. Is this legal?"
"Uh, what... oh. I don't think so."
Loki suppresses a frown. Why would Tony Stark break the law of his homeworld just to provide Loki with a delicious dessert? It seems awfully risky. "Oh. Alright." Another moment of awkward silence.
"Do you like it?"
"It is... adequate."
"He likes it," Tony corrects, sliding in across from them. Barton appears next to him. The two are holding identical cones, each with two scoops of brown with swirls of even darker brown running through them. Tony bites into his a bit wolfishly, but Barton's style of eating seems closer to Loki's method, the slow but sure demolition of his ice cream through many small licks.
"Remind me," mutters Barton, unable to bring up the level of negativity he would probably like, "Why is Loki outside of his assigned area?"
"Because I wanted to buy him ice cream and you didn't call me on it," says Tony matter-of-factly.
"Out of curiosity," says Steve, "Would you have even listened if we had called you on it?"
"No. Not unless you'd called up Fury," Tony admits.
"So all we have to do to be listened to is call up Fury?"
"Why don't you go sit over there with your girlfriend, Legolas. This table is for cool people." He looks at Loki and Steve and reassesses his statement. "Or people who aren't asshole government dogs."
"I resent that, and she's not my girlfriend," mutters Clint, but he rises and joins Banner and Romanoff by the window.
Loki looks up from his ice cream, examining Tony carefully. "Doesn't your commander have eyes all over your house?"
Tony raises an eyebrow. "So he does."
"So... why hasn't he stopped you from taking me here?"
"Because I set all the security footage on loop." Tony doesn't seem to care particularly that the action he describes is not allowed and possibly illegal. His tone is as careless as if he were simply being asked the time. No, scratch that. He probably would have made a bigger deal of the time.
"Are you not worried about incurring his wrath?"
"If he didn't want me to tamper he shouldn't have used my building."
"An you are not worried that I might kill you all and destroy this place?" Loki can feel Steve tensing beside him, hearing the simple question as a threat.
"Look," says Tony, allowing himself a moment of seriousness, "You've shown us you can best Cap and Legolas in a hand to hand fight. You've shown us you can blow up buildings. If you were going to kill us you would have done it already, you wouldn't even have had to blink." Technically inaccurate, but Loki doesn't correct his captor and defender. "My question is why haven't you?"
There is a thought, but Loki quickly strikes it from his mind. It can't be true. He is a god. But it stays there, pulsing at the back of his mind, even as he gives Tony's question a dismissive answer. Even as they begin to walk back to Stark Tower, the thought still lurks in the recesses of his mind, waiting for something unknown, perhaps acknowledgment. The answer he will never say aloud.
Because I needed you.
Tony follows Loki when they return, even as the other avengers disperse and make their ways up to their own rooms. Tony follows Loki up to his room and gets his foot in the door before Loki has a chance to close it behind him. "Hey."
Loki raises an eyebrow at the billionaire, but opens the door wider again and let's him in.
"Just because you needed ice cream doesn't mean you're getting out of answering my questions." He can see Loki considering an accusatory comeback, but for whatever reason the god refrains from being a royal pain in the ass for once.
"Go on then."
"You said you were dead in the eyes of Asgard. Why?"
"Because Odin thinks me dead and Heimdall has no doubt done little to change his perception of things." Loki grinds his teeth together. "It's not as though he WANTS to give Thor hope."
Tony frowns. "Give Thor hope of what? Okay, dumb question. Why do they think you're dead?"
"Because Father sent me to my death," says Loki, giving Tony a look that conveys impatience not present in his voice.
"Because that's what the sentence was for my crimes." His voice is more taught now. Tony notes the fact that Loki is visibly showing his discomfort instead of throwing up walls. Or if he is throwing up walls, they are around something else.
"How did you escape death row without being noticed?"
"Who said anyone wanted to notice," mutters Loki under his breath.
"Don't what?"
"Do not inquire further." His voice is full of forced calm.
"Loki, I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to know-"
"I finally gave my father a chance to get rid of the child he never wanted and he took it! Is that not enough?" he cries, looking up at Tony with angry eyes that hold back tears.
Tony backs away a little at the outburst and holds up his hands. "Okay then, that sounds..." He runs his hand through his hair, making it if anything more messy than it already is. "Am I allowed to give you a thought? Without. You know. Having to become part of an awkward moment here?"
Loki just stares at him, continuing to look as though he's been kicked.
"Well. Just. Your family might be composed of dicks, but even so, somehow I don't think they want you dead."
Loki is suddenly on his feet, standing so close Tony can feel his breath on his own face. "Get out, Stark. Do not presume to know what you cannot even comprehend."
Tony stands his ground. "I know neglectful parenting a little better than you think. But you know what helps? Stepping out of your own shoes for thirty seconds and trying to see why. It doesn't make them any less of an ignorant bastard, but mayhem when we get down to it we're all ignorant bastards. Goodnight." With that he turned on his heel and left the room, unexpectedly angry over memories he would rather not have had resurface.
I'm gonna tell you that was a major point in the plot and you're going to have to believe me.

Outlook: Middleton banks on cost cutting
Friday 21 May 1999
With Royal Bank of Scotland circling, Barclays' acting chief executive, Sir Peter Middleton, had to do something to show there's life in the old carcass yet, and this presumably is it. He seems to be saying that Barclays doesn't need a consolidating merger to achieve the repeated rounds of big cost cuts the City these days demands of our leading companies. Leave off, he's telling Sir George Mathewson at RBS. We can deliver the required earnings growth all by ourselves. Is what he has announced enough, or is it even appropriate?
Traditional clearing banks are facing a profound period of change. No industry is untouched by the technological revolution now sweeping the world, but nowhere are its effects likely to be more far reaching than in financial services. Clearing banks also face a separate challenge. Traditionally, their purpose has been to act as a collector of retail savings to lend to corporations and business.
Today, with the development of highly sophisticated wholesale markets, these functions no longer need to be linked. Indeed, it may even be inappropriate to do so. No British bank has yet followed the logic of these developments to demerge or sell its corporate lending activity, but they all know that their future, to the extent that they have one, lies chiefly as general providers of retail financial services, with corporate lending very much a low margin add on.
Success in these markets will require very low costs, which new technologies make possible, and very high levels of customer service. From a standing start, Egg took 1 per cent of the British deposit market in just six months with its high interest bearing account. As it happens, this seems to have cost its parent company, Prudential, an arm and a leg, but it shows just how dangerous and precarious the new environment is going to be for traditional bankers.
So the banks are slashing their costs to catch the new entrants. Yesterday's numbers from Barclays look big but, if anything, they are some way behind the bank's main competitors. Barclays' cost to income ratio is still poor set against others. Cost cuts worth just pounds 200m a year may be too little too late.
On the other side of the ledger, Barclays needs to improve customer service by an order of magnitude. It seems unlikely that taking 6,000 people out of the workforce is going to help matters much on this front. Barclays may know the short-term impact on the bottom line, but it has no more idea than the rest of us what the long-term consequences might be. If it is to reduce the quality and level of customer service, then its ultimate effect will be strongly negative.
Centrally imposed head count reduction, which is what this smacks of, rarely helps matters very much. By alienating customers, it can often prove counterproductive. To be effective, cost cutting has to come from the bottom up. Who knows? Maybe that is what this programme is, but the odds on Barclays surviving as an independent bank continue to look no more than evens.

Bordeaux attack Wenger over Chamakh
Wednesday 23 September 2009
Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud has lashed out at Arsene Wenger, lambasting the Arsenal coach's pursuit of Marouane Chamakh.
The Morocco striker was strongly linked with a move to Arsenal over the summer.
The Gunners had a bid turned down for Chamakh and Wenger has already hinted he might make another offer in the winter transfer window.
However, despite Chamakh being out of contract next summer, Triaud insists he would be wasting his time.
"What I do not like in the behaviour of Arsene Wenger, who is doing this again today, is that at the beginning, he declared his interest in Chamakh, a long time before calling me," he told Gold FM. "Then he ended up doing so.
"And now, Mr Wenger is starting again, again starting to put doubt in the mind of the player. And I don't find that very correct. That said, in January, Marouane will not leave. Even less so on a free transfer."
West Ham and Sunderland were also interested in Chamakh but Bordeaux always claimed they would only allow the 25-year-old to move to a club they believed were better than them.
Arsenal fit the bill but Triaud believes Wenger was never as interested in Chamakh as he made out.
The Bordeaux chief added: "I said I wanted around €18million for the transfer because in a negotiation, I know very well that there is always a counter offer.
"He said that was a lot, and called me 48 hours later, as agreed. He offered seven. I replied that was too low and he suggested calling me back a little later to find a compromise, but in the end he never called back.
"In fact, I think Wenger made me an offer low enough so that I would refuse it, knowing that he had also made one to the player and that moreover he was waiting to see what would happen in his squad.
"Seeing Eduardo make a fantastic start to the season, Wenger suddenly realised he no longer needed Chamakh. So there was no more news from London."
Triaud added: "At that point Chamakh asked me to block everything for Arsenal and I told him no, and called Wenger to know (what was happening).
"He told me he didn't want him anymore, stating that he is a great player, that he respects him, but if he takes him and he does not play, it would not be right for the player or for the club.
"He said that, regardless of the price of the transfer, he was not interested. Thank you and goodbye!
"That's how it happened, something I explained to Chamakh, so he has no bitterness towards the club."
