Hungary is being led by a right-wing populist government that seems to have a questionable commitment to democracy. The steps it has taken to end the independence of the judiciary and undermine the fairness of future of elections are ominous. However, the NYT's efforts to construct an economic case against the government fall badly short of the mark.
The NYT tells us that:
"Hungary serves as a cautionary tale for those who argue that Greece could regain competitiveness by reintroducing its currency. The drachma would plunge against the euro, the theory goes, and allow Greek products to compete on price with countries like Turkey.
'Whatever you win today, it shoots you back tomorrow,' said Radovan Jelasity, chief of the Hungarian unit of Erste Bank, an Austrian institution.
But economists and business people say the advantages of a weak currency are more than canceled out by negative factors, like soaring prices for imported fuel or imported components for Hungarian factories, not to mention higher payments on foreign currency loans.
But the economic climate is grim, with 10.7 percent unemployment and inflation of 4.3 percent even as the economy heads into recession."
Okay, so the word is that things are really bad in Hungary with its 10.7 percent unemployment rate. Let's see how that looks compared to the competition.
Source: OECD.
If we compare Hungary to the debt crisis countries that remain within the euro it is looking pretty good. The closest among this group is Portugal, with an unemployment rate of 13.2 percent. The others are considerably worse. (The unemployment rates given are all the most recent available, which differs somewhat across countries.)
The 4.3 percent inflation rate might be somewhat higher than is desired, but hardly a crisis. The United States had higher inflation rates many times in the last 50 years without serious economic disruptions. Furthermore, in the context of a heavily indebted population, inflation performs the valuable function of reducing the real value of debt. It is also a necessary part of the adjustment process for a country looking to regain competitiveness by reducing the value of its currency.
The moral of this story is that Hungary's government may actually be led by bad guys, but it doesn't seem that their policies have had terribly negative economic consequences thus far. That could change down the road, but it still appears that Hungary's economy is doing relatively well.
The NYT had a mostly good piece discussing the gap in competitiveness between the northern and southern European countries that lays at the heart of the debt crisis in the euro zone. One item that would have been worth adding is the fact that European Central Bank is making any potential adjustment process far more difficult by not having more expansionary policies and by refusing to act as a lender of last resort.
Forcing heavily indebted countries to meet tough deficit targets, at the same time that their interest burdens are soaring, is creating an impossible situation. This is leading to a downward spiral in which austerity measures slow growth and raise deficits, which undermines confidence in the debt. This pushes up interest rates, which makes the deficits even larger.
The Washington Post has consistently used both its news and opinion pages to try to convince readers that the main threat to their well-being and that of their children came from older people getting fat Social Security checks and generous Medicare benefits. This position has become harder to maintain, both because the economic collapse has made these benefits more important than ever to middle and lower income families and also because the fact that rich are making off with the bulk of the benefits of economic growth is becoming increasingly apparent. Still, the Post labors on.
Today, the paper featured a column by political consultant Bill Knapp arguing that we should all be happy because the economy has created jobs over the last 40 years and also because people at most points along the income distribution have seen some gains in income.
This is known as "the 12-year-olds are taller than 6-year-olds" argument in reference to the claim that poor nutrition might be stunting growth. The Bill Knapps of the world would get out their yardstick and measure a representative sample of 12-year-olds and do the same for 6-year-olds. After careful analysis of the data they would find that the 12-year-olds are taller. They would then write up their findings and get a column in the Washington Post telling readers that bad nutrition is not affecting growth.
Let's skip the idiocy. Economies grow, they add jobs, and people get on average richer. This happens everywhere barring war, natural catastrophe, or incredible economic mismanagement. The issue is the rate at which they grow and that people see improvements in their living standards. And for most people in the United States, the improvements in living standards over the last three decades have been very modest. The reason is that most of the gains have gone to the richest one percent.
Remarkably, Knapp can't even get his numbers right on how rich the one percent are. He tells us that:
" When you adjust for family size, the top 1 percent made, on average, $335,779 a year."
Actually, that is a cutoff for entering the 1 percent, not the average for the group. (Math is hard.) The average income for families in the top 1 percent is over $1.3 million.
After flunking the arithmetic portion of the column, Knapp then turns to the Nigerian cell phone user argument. Knapp thinks that the average Nigerian in 2012 enjoys a higher standard of living than did the average American in 1990, because Nigerians in 2012 have a higher rate of cell phone usage.
Okay, he didn't make this argument directly about Nigeria and the United States, but he did make this sort of argument about the "telling facts about our economic growth and future," which amounted to a rundown on the numbers for the use of cell phones, computers, and broadband. Knapp didn't even try to put these numbers in comparative terms, for example seeing how we measure up against Europe and Japan (not especially well).
So there you have it. Don't worry about how much money Robert Rubin and Angelo Mozilo made off the housing bubble and the difficulty that you are having finding a job, paying for your health care or your kids' education. Just be thankful that you have an iPhone.
Thomas Edsall does the classic caricature of the debate between liberals and conservatives telling readers:
"Looked at another way, the two sides are fighting over what the role of government in redistributing resources from the affluent to the needy should and shouldn't be."
This is absolutely not true. The government decides how to structure the market. Its decisions in this area swamp the impact of the redistributive policies that liberals and conservatives often fight over.
For example, patent protection for prescription drugs redistributes more than five times as much money to the holders of patent monopolies as the Bush tax cuts did for the richest two percent of the population. Similarly, the protectionist barriers that limit the competition that doctors, lawyers and other highly paid professionals face from foreign competition are comparable to giving them a welfare check that averages in the neighborhood of $100,000 a year.
There are many other ways in which government policy on structuring the market have enormous impact on the distribution of income. It is understandable that conservatives would like to divert the public's attention from the ways in which the government structures the market to redistribute income upward. It is hard to understand why liberals would ever accept this "loser liberalism" framework which reduces the policy debate to the extent to which government should redistribute money from the winners in the market to the losers.
The lead Washington Post editorial noted (and excused) the Fed's complete failure to understand the dangers posed by the housing bubble (the economy is soooo complicated) and then somehow used this failure as an argument against its housing proposals. The Fed's main housing proposals were that Fannie and Freddie should make it easier for underwater homeowners to refinance and also that they should look to convert some of their foreclosed properties to rental units. The Fed also suggested that it might be advantageous to allow foreclosed homeowners to stay in their home as renters. (Yes, that one is my right to rent plan.)
The Post doesn't like the plans because the government could lose money on the deals. They also say that they may not fix the housing market.
Let's take these in turn. In answer to the first, the question is how much money does the government stand to lose by allowing homeowners who are already underwater to refinance at lower rates. Remember, we are already on the hook for the loans. The deal is simply that homeowners will now be paying lower interest to holders of mortgage backed securities, or in cases where Fannie and Freddie held the loans directly, to the government. The downside risk to the government seems pretty small and, as the Fed noted, if it reduces the default rate, then it could be a net gainer. Of all the ways in which we can conceivably help homeowners, this one should top the list as no-brainer.
The question about fixing the housing market depends on what we mean by "fixing?" There was a housing bubble. It burst. Does the Post think that we will get house prices back to their bubble-inflated levels? That is probably not possible and certainly not desirable. If the point is to get homes occupied and to allow people who are no longer homeowners to find good rental housing, then again the Fed's proposals seem like no-brainers.
The Fed deserves tons of ridicule; letting the housing bubble grow to such dangerous levels was an act of ungodly stupidity. But its latest proposals on housing are definitely a step in the right direction.
Reporters always complain about space constraints. Therefore it is difficult to understand why they feel the need to add the word "free" when reporting on trade deals, as the Post did in a piece talking about the possible implications for trade of President Obama's plans for restructuring the Commerce Department.
Of course the deals in question (recent pacts with South Korea, Colombia, and Panama) were not free trade agreements, since they increased barriers in some areas, most obviously intellectual property rights. They were just called "free trade: agreements by proponents, presumably because they think this will make them politically salable.
It would have been helpful to include the views of a critic of U.S. trade policy in this piece. If the restructuring makes the government less effective in promoting a trade agenda that they consider harmful, a restructuring may be viewed positively.
In an article on the richest one percent of families in the country, the NYT told readers that:
"they may prefer facing cuts to their own benefits like Social Security than paying more taxes."
The average income among the richest one percent is roughly $1.5 million. The maximum Social Security benefit for a retired couple is around $45,000. If we assume that the everyone in the one percent gets the maximum benefit (which would certainly be an overstatement of their benefits), then completely eliminating their Social Security would be equivalent to a 3 percentage point increase in their tax.
For families with higher incomes in the one percent, the potential loss due to a reduction in Social Security benefits would be an even smaller share of their income. For this reason, it is understandable that they would prefer to go the route of reduction in benefits to tax increases.
Arguably the main reason that France and the rest of the euro zone countries are facing recession and debt downgrades is the failure of the European Central Bank (ECB) to act as a lender of last resort and promise to back up the debt of its member states. This failure, coupled with its obsession to curb inflation even at the expense of growth, would seem to be the main source of the euro zone's economic problems at the moment.
However the NYT sees it otherwise. In an article on Standard & Poor's downgrade of French debt it told readers:
"France will have to work to restore its financial luster, especially if it is subsequently downgraded by other ratings agencies. French officials say their priority now is to demonstrate that the euro area is solid, while also showing that France is working to improve its own finances.
Mr. Sarkozy's austerity programs, including higher taxes on items like some food and beverages that kicked in across France recently, are aimed at whittling the country's budget deficit to 3 percent of G.D.P. by 2015."
Austerity is of course one route, although if it leads to further weakness in the French economy, it is not clear that it will be a successful route. Another possible route would be for France to pressure the ECB to adopt sounder policies.
The NYT seems to have ruled this path out for France, but the French people might see changing ECB policy as preferable to tax increase and spending cutbacks that will have an uncertain impact on the deficit and France's financial standing.

From A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837
BALLINTRA, a village, in the parish of DRUMHOLM, barony of TYRHUGH, county of DONEGAL, and province of MUNSTER, 4 ½ miles (N. N. E.) from Ballyshannon; containing 439 inhabitants. This village, which is situated on the road from Ballyshannon to Donegal, and at an equal distance from both those towns, consists of one street containing about 90 houses, and has a daily penny post to Donegal and Ballyshannon. Within a mile is Brawn Hall, the seat of the Rev. Edward Hamilton, a handsome mansion in a beautifully picturesque demesne, through the groves of which winds a river that in some parts rushes down thickly wooded precipices, and within view of the house is a small lake. This scenery, which is called the Pullins, is strongly contrasted with the dreary tracts of country that surround it, especially on the south and east. Fairs are held on the 1st of February, March 25th, May 20th, June 24th, Aug. 1st, Oct. 3rd, and Nov. 30th, for general farming stock. This is a station of the constabulary police; petty sessions are held on alternate Mondays: and in the village are situated the parish church, a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists, and a dispensary.—See DRUMHOLM.

Popular Rhymes and Sayings of Ireland
In Popular Rhymes and Sayings of Ireland (first published in 1924) John J. Marshall examines the origin of a variety of rhymes and sayings that were at one time in vogue around different parts of the country, including those which he recalled from his own childhood in County Tyrone. Numerous riddles, games and charms are recounted, as well as the traditions of the 'Wren Boys' and Christmas Rhymers. Other chapters describe the war cries of prominent Irish septs and the names by which Ireland has been personified in literature over the centuries.
The book is also available as a Kindle download.
Annals of the Famine in Ireland
Annals of the Famine in Ireland, by Asenath Nicholson, still has the power to shock and sadden even though the events described are ever-receding further into the past. When you read, for example, of the poor widowed mother who was caught trying to salvage a few potatoes from her landlord's field, and what the magistrate discovered in the pot in her cabin, you cannot help but be appalled and distressed.
The ebook is available for download in .mobi (Kindle), .epub (iBooks, etc.) and .pdf formats. For further information on the book and author see details ».
Ireland's Welcome to the Stranger
This book, the prequel to Annals of the Famine in Ireland cannot be recommended highly enough to those interested in Irish social history. The author, Mrs Asenath Nicholson, travelled from her native America to assess the condition of the poor in Ireland during the mid 1840s. Refusing the luxury of hotels and first class travel, she stayed at a variety of lodging-houses, and even in the crude cabins of the very poorest. Not to be missed!
The ebook is available for download in .mobi (Kindle), .epub (iBooks, etc.) and .pdf formats. For further information on the book and author see details ».
Henry Ford Jones' book, first published in 1915 by Princeton University, is a classic in its field. It covers the history of the Scotch-Irish from the first settlement in Ulster to the American Revolutionary period and the foundation of the country.

Real Estate For A Million–And Less
To buy into Verona, you generally don't have to spend a million dollars. We're not Manhattan, after all, where a postage-stamp sized apartment with a partially obstructed view can fetch more than six figures.
Prior to this weekend, there were only three listings in Verona for more than $1 million, and all three were condos on the eastern ridge that defines our little town: Two penthouses at Claridge I and one townhouse in the Kips Ridge complex.
Now, you can add a single-family home to the mix. Stanton Company, a Montclair-based real estate broker, has listed 14 Summit Road for $1.2 million. The listing is so new that there aren't any photos of it posted yet, but the home sits on a large pie-shaped lot on a cul-de-sac in the Afterglow section. If you were allowed to drive the golf carts home from the Montclair Country Club, you'd be home in about five minutes.
But as we said in the beginning, to buy into Verona, you generally don't have to spend a million dollars. The five other new Verona listings this weekend are priced below that. So are all six of this weekend's open houses and the two properties with lower asking prices.
New Listings
61 Brookside Terrace: 4 beds, 2 baths. Wide driveway, deck. $389,900.
88 Claremont Avenue: 3 beds, 2 baths. Front porch, deck. Open-plan kitchen. $429,000.
74 Personette Avenue: 3 beds, 3 baths. Remodeled kitchen, baths. Composite deck. $449,900. Open house Sunday 2 to 4 p.m.
2 Claridge Drive #5NE: 2 bed, 2 bath condo in full-service building with pool, tennis court. Remodeled. $459,900.
18 Birdseye Glen: 5 beds, 4 baths. Renovated. First-floor laundry. $759,000.
14 Summit Road: 4 beds, 4 baths. Afterglow section. Dead-end street near golf course. $1,200,000.
Open Houses
7 Durrell Street: 4 beds, 2 baths. Updated kitchen, first-floor bath. Finished basement. Price cut $25,000 to $350,000. Open house Sunday 1 to 3 p.m.

74 Personette Avenue: 3 beds, 3 baths. Remodeled kitchen, baths. Composite deck. $449,900. Open house Sunday 2 to 4 p.m.
171 Grove Avenue: 3 beds, 3 baths. Open plan split-level. New kitchen. $458,000. Open house Sunday 2 to 4 p.m.
26 Morningside Road: 3 beds, 1 1/2 baths. Updated kitchen, new retaining wall in yard. $459,000. Open house Sunday 1 to 5 p.m.
52 Montrose Avenue: 3 beds. 2 1/2 baths. Sunroom, deck, renovated kitchen. $545,000. Open house Sunday 2 to 4 p.m.
Price Changes
349 Bloomfield Avenue #148: 1 bed, 1 bath condo. Newer kitchen, near transportation and shopping. Cut $10,000 to $169,000.
7 Durrell Street: 4 beds, 2 baths. Updated kitchen, first-floor bath. Finished basement. Price cut $25,000 to $350,000. Open house Sunday 1 to 3 p.m.

Linux Kernel Gets A Wait-Free Concurrent Queue
Published on 14 March 2013 10:09 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Linux Kernel
5 Comments
Introduced to the world on Monday and already revised today is the Linux Kernel Wait-Free Concurrent Queue Implementation.
The patch in its current form is just a "starting point" and consisting of just a large header file. Thorough testing across a range of architectures is still needed, but this is a concurrent queue with wait-free enqueue/busy-waiting dequeue for the Linux kernel.
This "Concurrent Queue with Wait-Free Enqueue/Busy-Waiting Dequeue" has been designed and written by Mathieu Desnoyers and Lai Jiangshan while being inspired by Paul McKenney's half-wait-free/half-blocking queue.
Those interested in finding out the other low-level technical details to this new queue for the Linux kernel can find the v2 patch on
the kernel mailing list

SKEYE Nano Drone Quadcopter for $34.99
Check out the SKEYE Nano Drone, a quadcopter drone that measures just 4 centimeters on a side. That's small enough to land on your thumb. It has three flight modes, one for beginners who are just learning to fly, another for more advanced pilots, and a third, 'expert' mode for seasoned flight veterans. The company that makes it says it will fly outdoors, but I personally imagine it's far better suited for indoor flight because of its size. At $34.99 through our deal (regularly $60), it's an inexpensive way to find out how much fun flying a quadcopter is. There's a video of the device in action on the deal listing.

sunflower moth larvae not just on coneflowers
Take a look at your coneflower cones next time you are out in the garden. If you see cones which have a blackened centre as one of mine you can see below, (the front and centre 'powwow' white flower)
then very likely your echinacea have the "sunflower larvae" burrowed in the flower. To verify simply break open the flower and look inside. You may well see a small green worm (larva).
And now I notice this year this same pest is destroying flowers of similar plants., For example I see my stands of "Tuscan Sun" Heliopsis has the problem also:

This pest is so rampant in my 4 "Tuscan Sun" Heliopsis.
This plant is the most incredible bloom machine but in each of the two years I have had these 4 specimens they have been 'home' to both a major infestation of aphids and this sunflower moth larvae.
I am assuming that any effective insecticide for these larvae will harm those very important beneficial pollinating insects i.e. bees and so regretfully I will consider a replacement border plant this winter (I am counting on you guys and girls for your advice).

Rinse and thoroughly drain shrimp; spread out on paper towels; pat dry.
Set aside 40 whole shrimp for garnish; coarsely chop remaining shrimp.
In a bowl, beat together cheese, celery, garlic, hot pepper seasoning, and soy until very smooth.
Stir in chopped shrimp just until blended.
Cover and chill about 1 hour or until easy to handle.
Sprinkle parsley on a piece of wax paper.
For each appetizer, shape 1 teaspoon cheese mixture into a ball, then roll in parsley to coat all sides.
Spear reserved shrimp on wooden picks and stick one shrimp into each ball.
Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled or until next day.

Foggy mornings are great for silhouettes. In this picture, I used the grass for a solid base. The viewers eye is going to be drawn to the area of greatest contrast - which is the foreground trees. I positioned these trees about 1/3 of the way into the frame. I positioned myself so that the foreground trees did not overlap but somewhat mesh together with the more-distant trees on the left side of the frame. The ISO 1000 setting was an oversight. :)

MORRIS, Minn. – An Appleton man faces several criminal charges after a high-speed chase west of Morris on Wednesday afternoon.
On Friday, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office search and rescue team came to Stevens County

People that greatly Inspire me
Hi there! I am an average artist that's really into cartoons of all kinds! My favorite genres are fantasy and adventure, though I'm also a sucker for romance if it's execution is decent. And speaking of fantasy my favorite Mythical Creatures are Dragons, I think they're awesome, and there are quite alot of interesting takes I've seen on them on this site in particular.
Art always has and always will be my passion, and while I may not exactly be the best out there I still put my all into everything I make in hope I'll improve in due time.
On another note I absolutely adore animation, with all of my top favorite movies of all time falling under this category, and I would definitely go lengths to be good at it, designing and developing characters are things I've always been especially into, and putting them to life on a screen is a very thrilling thought for me.
As shown elsewhere on my profile there's a fair chance I'll draw something for you no strings attached if you just ask, provided it's within my current ability of course, though I do prefer Art Trades at the end of the day I like to make people happy. ^^
I can honestly be rather shy with a tendency to freak out over even minor mistakes, and have a hard time interacting with people because of this, however when I get deeply into a conversation I'll usually have quite alot to say, so I'd welcome anyone willing to nerd-out over a franchise with me. XD
I'm also into RolePlaying, it's really fun to build a plot with someone else with my favorite characters, and for anyone that wants I would gladly accept requests to RP for pretty much every fandom I am in.
|Because why not.

"The negative economic trends were reflected in the group's operating results, which were unsatisfactory throughout the entire year,"
"The team is playing really well. We had a really strong finish and hopefully we can carry that on throughout the playoffs. Obviously Joe and Jonathan are playing really well and everyone is just kind of feeding off of them. It's a different team than at the start of the season in San Jose."

Can start using external USB drive, but not internal drive
Suddenly I got the "Folder ?" icon on start up. I plugged in a USB backup drive, restarted and after booting, it took 5 minutes for the keyboard to work so I could login in. The internal drive did not show up with disk utility.
I replaced the internal drive with a drive I know is good, got the "Folder ?" icon again. I plugged in the external USB drive, restarted, and again, had to wait about 5 minutes for the keyboard to work before I could login. Again, the internal drive does not appear in Disk Utility.
The computer runs fine (if a little slow) booting from the USB drive, so I am assuming it is the logic board? Or could it be a part that connects the internal drive to the logic board? So do I need to do other tests, replace the logic board, or replace a smaller part?
Accepted Answer
If you have a known good hard drive try it. If you don't, replace the cable that connects the hard dive to the logic board. If you have recently disturbed this cable double check it's connections. If replacing the cable does not solve the problem. You will need to replace the hard drive.
Normally when the hard drive or the hard drive controller on the motherboard are/is failing they give symptoms over time that give hint there will be a failure and don't just die. You have given no indication of previous problems to suspect a problem with them. Also, the cable is the cheapest part to replace.
I have replaced the internal hard drive with a known good hard drive, and still it does not pick up the internal drive, but will boot from an external USB drive. The strange thing is that it takes 5 minutes for the keyboard to be active when booting from the external drive. I will try to replace the cable from the hard drive to the logic board. If that does not fix the problem, I can then assume it is the logic board?
It does sound like the cable is the problem. Insofar as the slow boot from an external USB drive there is a difference in data transfer read and write rate between internal SATA and USB. The USB will be slower, especially with your era of machine.

Analyst: Knicks' Phil Jackson Hire Good News For MSG Stock Based On Attendance, TV
Published March 20, 2014
FACE OF THE FRANCHISE: In N.Y., Richard Sandomir notes Jackson is "now a face of the publicly traded Garden," along with Knicks F Carmelo Anthony, Rangers G Henrik Lundqvist and musician Billy Joel. Jackson's return "came at an important time for the Garden: late in the first season" of the arena's $1B renovation. Sandomir: "The arena needed another attraction. Jackson is it." Jackson, like "no other top Knicks executive of the past, ... will be essential to the team's marketing until it consistently wins." If Jackson succeeds, MSG will "gain revenue from more playoff games and more telecasts (and higher advertising rates) on MSG Network" (N.Y. TIMES, 3/20).

There are plenty of Packers fans with a strong reaction to what has transpired with Brett Favre in the past year or so. Few of them, we dare say, hold a Ph.D. -- and perhaps only one, Christian End, has written and presented an academic paper about how Packers fans have responded ot the breakup with Favre.
We've been corresponding via e-mail today with End, an assistant professor of psychology at Xavier University. Here is the long and the short of his paper, which End says was presented at the Ohio Psychological Association's annual conference last October (well before the Favre-to-Vikings news, of course, but after he went to the Jets).
Loyal Fans' Reactions to and Willingness to Forgive a Disloyal Group Leader
Abstract: This study explored sport fans' responses when the leader of their team abandons the group. Specifically this study examined fans' perceptions of the Green Bay Packers/Brett Favre "break-up," as well as their willingness to forgive Favre. The team and player loyalty of 96 Packers' fans were assessed, in addition to perceptions of responsibility, intent, and forgiveness. Contrary to the hypothesis that team loyalty would predict the fans' responses to this attempt at social mobility, regression analyses demonstrated that player loyalty significantly predicted judgments of controllability, intent, and forgiveness, while team loyalty did not predict the fans' responses.
Got that? Not really? We don't blame you. But End took another swing, in slightly simpler speak.
The cliff notes version ... Think of it as, I am a Brett Favre fan vs. I am a Packers fan. Those who highly identified with Favre were more likely to report that they would be willing to forgive him – although most Favre fans reported there was nothing Favre needed to apologize for. Additionally their explanations for the "break-up" were somewhat protective of Favre – Favre had little control over and was only minimally responsible for his departure from the team and the subsequent trade to the Jets. The control and responsibility was often attributed to GM – Ted Thompson. The data indicate that the those who identified with the Packers were more "conflicted" (less agreement, more within group variance, etc.). This is somewhat surprising as the literature indicates that fans value loyalty (even a fan's loyalty to the team) and often derogate those who abandon the group.
We take that to mean a lot of fans last year blamed he Packers instead of Favre, even though previous research seemed to show fans generally side with the team in matters of loyalty. Of course, as End notes, "when the data were collected Favre was headed to the Jets, a team that is less relevant outgroup than the Vikings who the Packers are in direct competition with. Thus, fans' opinions about Favre's latest move may differ."
Indeed. End said his paper has not yet been published, but we have to say we are very curious to read it. We would also be interested in a follow-up case study to see how reactions differed. End might have some time to get that rolling tonight, when Favre makes his debut. When asked if he plans to watch, End said he would likely find an excuse not to watch. He mentioned his dryer might need a good de-linting around 7 p.m. Central.
We imagine a lot of Packers fans feel the same way.

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
One thing I'd like to point out is that the City of London Police are not the same thing as the British Metropolitan Police. This was something that came up in an article a few months ago where the City of London Police were fighting against piracy. They're basically an area within London that has existed for hundreds of years under corporate rule.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C... [wikipedia.org]
The City of London police are basically a corporate police force with an authority that does not go beyond the corporate-controlled City of London area.
Websites by themselves aren't "illegal". Using those terms gives undue legitimacy to copyright maximalists. What is meant here by "illegal" is that they host content which may be infringing on copyright.
So what they're doing is infringing the copyright of the allegedly-copyright-infringing website by modifying and redistributing it.
The hypocrisy is think with this one!

text: Iron Maiden rocker Bruce Dickinson was shocked to discover octogenarian entertainer Sir Bruce Forsyth was in the audience at one of the band's gigs over the weekend (03-04Aug13). The heavy metal legends are currently on the U.K. leg of their Maiden England trek, and took to the stage at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night (03Aug12). Dickinson was stunned to find one famous face among the thousands of hard-rocking fans - 85-year-old TV star and gameshow king Forsyth. Telling the audience at Sunday's (04Aug13) show, he said, "We had Strictly Come Dancing in the house last night. "Bruce Forsyth was here, which is absolutely f**king unbelievable. I wish I'd have known, I would have said (Forsyth's catchphrase), 'Nice to see you, to see you nice.'" Forsyth has hosted U.K. TV talent show Strictly Come Dancing since 2004.

First Division: Cowdenbeath and Hamilton draw 1-1
Last Updated: 09/03/13 6:13pm
Stevie May: Former St Johnstone striker put Hamilton ahead
Cowdenbeath and Hamilton remain just outside the relegation places in the Irn-Bru First Division after drawing 1-1 at Central Park.
Hamilton made a decent start with Jon Routledge going close when he fired just wide.
Ziggy Gordon then went even closer as his shot was touched onto the post by home keeper Colin Stewart.
Stevie May finally broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute when he latched onto Grant Gillespie's pass and fired under Stewart to score.
However, Hamilton's lead lasted only six minutes before Craig Moore levelled with a header and the striker then went close to a second when he shot just wide before the interval.
May wasted a chance to put the Accies back in front after the restart when his weak shot was easily saved by Stewart.
Andy Ryan and Darian Mackinnon also went close for Hamilton but neither side was able to find a winner in the closing stages with Cowdenbeath drawing for the third match running.

That blue is heavenly, almost like the moderator color here. I prefer the pure white cotton rather than the off-white color on the normal Whimsicott version. Anddd let's not forget about that brown. Honestly, I don't like brown as a color like, at all, but shiny Whimsicott's brown is so lovely and mysterious. This brown here is sort of a cold ashy brown, but I also think of brown as a warm color because it is close to reds and oranges. Idk I'm just in love with shiny Whimsicott's color scheme.
I bought Black version just to have a Whimsicott on my team, and I walked into a shiny Cottonee my first time entering Pinwheel Forest. I like reliving this moment !!!!
Other honorable mentions are shiny Scolipede, Mienshao, and Haxorus.

In the spirit of love, love, love craaazy love, here's an interesting little trend of the heart I found via Buzzfeed. 30 years ago, in the center of a little town called Pecs in the south of Hungary, lovers clamped padlocks to a wrought-iron fence as a symbol of their commitment to one another. Since that time, needless to say the trend has caught on around the world. I find the whole thing rather interesting, it reminds me a little bit of the padlock Nancy gave Sid as a symbol of their junkie-tainted pirate love gone bad. How does one propose the proverbial love-lock? "Honey, I think it's time we head down to the town center and clamp a lock on it, what do you say!" What's bizarre to me is the image of clunky, over-locked bars and gates, weighed down by the sheer magnitude of their unwieldy weight, somehow doesn't look so sweet. It actually kind of looks like something your psychotic ex-girlfriend would do right before she hacked into your Facebook account, found out you're a cheater, and slashed your tires.

Awesome Video Of The Day: Kameraet
Kameraet is a fun and silly video made by Marc Reisbig & Hanne Berkaak in 2009 for Gyldendal Education for a Norwegian digital educational website for children. The video was shot in a garage in Oslo, Norway using stop motion animation. If you like dragons blowing bubbles, mushroom happy faces, and dancing owls I suggest you press play.
Jason Vivona
Jason Vivona is a California based artist whose colorful work brightens your day. His abstract work follows a unique technique which combines different mediums to create one image. His work is intriguing, mysterious, and alluring which draws me to it. You can also find his work in a in a line of skateboards he designed for WE RIDE AT NIGHT….
Sasha Frolova is a latex dream come true
Aquaaerobika is a project synthesizing art-performance and electronic music. Moscow based artist Sasha Frolova founder presents herself in the show in animated style image of silicone blonde, universal superwoman from the future with ultra-abilities. The plot of the show is endless computer game in which the main character travels through parallel worlds of future and talks about it's feelings, dreams, love and hope of finding it. Electro-pop, 8bit, disco-house and avant-garde sometimes quite abstract texts are mixed with a vivid spectacular performance based on images of postmodernism. Soo amazing.
Hope Gangloff
Yes Yes!! I'm enamored with these drawings by Hope Gangloff. A touch of that downtown super-cool, but with a candid feeling of tenderness – Hope has a distinct way of making you feel like you know these people, and that you're sharing a special moment in time with them… Or at least I'd like to…
Jean-Philippe Delhomme
So the other day I met this super cool french girl who turned me on to Jean-Philippe Delhomme. Mixing equal parts flattery and satire, his unique vision of the contemporary social scene is bitting and beautiful all at once. Turns out Delhomme worked as an illustrator at Glamour for years creating his signature brand of 'fictional portraits,' depicting the outlandish attitudes and behavior of high society. He also runs an awesome blog called The Unknown Hipster, and with a name like that, how could you not fall in love?

I've been using compass with blueprint for a while now and one thing I can't figure out is why it generates all the basic blueprint css classes. Like these:
#container .span-3 { width: 110px; }
#container .span-4 { width: 150px; }
I specify
--using blueprint/semantic when creating the compass project, and no I don't have
@include blueprint anywhere in my source. Why are these classes being generated and how do I get compass not to include them?
