Rest in Peace Carmine.... and thank you.
Comic book artist and editor Carmine Infantino passed away on April 4th. He was 87. Infantino broke into comics in 1942 working for Timely Comics which would become today's Marvel Comics. Infantino worked for various comic publishers in the 40s and 50s before being hired by DC Comics in the mid-1950s. Infantino, along with writer Robert Kanigher, was assigned to create a modernized of The Flash which helped usher in the Silver Age of comics. Infantino designed the iconic red jump suit that we still know today.
Infantino was the artist on Flash #123, one of the most important comics in history as it was the first time a silver age character met his golden age counterpart as Barry Allen met Jay Garrick and the concept of parallel Earths was born. Later he helped reinvigorate Batman by modernizing the character and giving him a new look. In the 1960s Infantino was promoted to Art Director at DC and recruited new talents to DC like Neal Adams and Dick Giordano. In 1971 he became the Publisher at DC and held the position until 1976. Infantino continued to work in comics throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s and later taught at the School of Visual Arts before retiring.
RIP Carmine.
When I started collecting Marvel's Star Wars, he was the artist at the time. I really liked his style and look of the SW universe.
loved his flash artwork and his batman too!!! r.i.p. dc will never be the same...the flash says "god speed"!!! thanks for the memories mr.infantino!!!! you will be missed- nuff said
RIP. i remember reading all the Flash comics that he worked on in the 70s.
Never been a fan of the Flash but creators like him brough so much original new designs and characers, sad to hear this.

A little surprise there is no mention of the terrible disparity in where the education budget goes. Far too little public spending on primary education. Far too much in public universities for those who have made it through private primary schools.
@ A liberal from Brazil (reply to Paternalism post)
(1)Alfredo's positition does not solve a thing. On
the surface, it seems the poor finally get a break
in life under the "Paternalism System" he proposes.
However, what he proposes is the Father (i.e. Elites)
continue their rein with a revised workforce that will
never be the head of a Brazilian family business. Since
most of the Brazilian Elites have proven to be severely
backwards, corrupt, and lacking vision, Alfredo proposal
won't make Brazil a better place.
(2)Alfredo's proposal dismiss the bright minds that could
bring fresh ideas, innovation, and vision to Brazil. That
is a severe shortsightness. The argument that these bright
people would create inequality is equally flawed. These
bright people would create jobs and auxiliary industries that
would dry up the labor force a bit, and through disruptive
technologies create higher wages for many. Bill Gates became
a Billionaire, but he also was responsible for many becoming
millionaires and having a respectable living doing MCSE/MCSD,etc.
Neither the Brazilian Elites, nor the Brazilian government have
duplicated that.
(3)Eduardo Saverin, Michel Krieger, Carlos Ghosn, etc. would
have been the Brazilian versions of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc.
if the bureaucracy and anti-business mindset in Brazil disappeared
In summary, Alfredo's ideas are about maintaining the status
quo (i.e. The Father) while giving the poor a little more crumbs,
but not the reins. Competition should be much freer, and if the
Elites cannot compete, they should be the ones in the favelas. Period.
James, there are logical/argumentative problems in your post:
You wrote:
"Eduardo Saverin, Michel Krieger, Carlos Ghosn, etc. would
have been the Brazilian versions of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc."
Then you concluded:
"Brazilian Elites have proven to be severely
backwards, corrupt, and lacking vision"
Then you said:
"Alfredo's proposal dismiss the BRIGHT MINDS that could
bring fresh ideas, innovation, and vision to Brazil. That
is a severe shortsightness. The argument that these bright
people would create inequality is equally flawed. These
bright people would create jobs and auxiliary industries that
would dry up the labor force a bit, and through disruptive
technologies create higher wages for many."
"Alfredo's ideas are about maintaining the status quo while giving the poor a little more crumbs, but not the reins. Competition should be much freer, and if the Elites cannot compete, they should be the ones in the favelas. Period."
Sorry, but I really can't understand what is your point. You are almost endorsing the expropriation of the means of production here and sending the brightest Brazilians minds to the slums. Something like that would be almost as destructive as doing what silly Alfredo wants.
The best thing we can do to improve poor people's lives is to remove the Government's handfrom the economy and improve public primary education. All the rest is just noise.
(1)In the U.S., Venture Capitalists are what you
Brazilians call "Elite." They don't care what color,
race, background one comes from. They have proven to
finance many capital poor individuals spanning decades.
Brazilian Elites???????
(2)In the U.S., Venture Capitalists financed an University
Student whose project later became Netscape. That University
student is now a Venture Capitalist (Marc Andreesen). There
is no petty politics and hollier than thou mindset in the
Brazil?????????????????? Is the culture of the Doutor
(i.e.Milord) who knows how to hoard resources, but can't
create a hole out of a paperbag if his life depended on it.
There are major consumer brands coming out of Brazil because
of it, and it shows.
You said:
"Sorry, but I really can't understand what is your point."
Those in power in Brazil should not be. Simply because they
squandered resources others with vision could have fashioned,
branded, and marketed all over the world. In a freer
competition society in the U.S., they would not be so "Elite"
competing vis a vis with true entrepreneurs.
"You are almost endorsing the expropriation of the means of production here and sending the brightest Brazilians minds to the slums. Something like that would be almost as destructive as doing what silly Alfredo wants."
The brightest minds in Brazil are currently in the slums.
That's where the fake "Elites" should inhabit!
Nice article. It is impressive that among brazilians people still there are a belief that the problem of public education is caused by low investments. But, I ever knew that not is problem. I, as teacher of high school know that there are much money in education but, the majority is transferred to corruption. So, the arguments that there are low investments at education, less investments that other countries not convinces.
A Brazilian Moses Asom would not rise to his
full potential under the Paternalism system
in Brazil.
If you read the link above, read it carefully and
ask yourself if a Black CEO could emerge from such
a system? How about a Steve Jobs?
BTW, this man here on the link wearing FLIP FLOPS...
would be a robot under the Paternalism system above or
just plain rebel and end up in a favela. However, in
the your-idea-is-more-important-than-what-you-wear-U.S.,
the man in the FLIP FLOPS became a Billionaire CEO and
at a younger age. In Brazil, he would have to "Prove"
himself and be connected. After kissing much ***, he
may have become a regional manager or something. hahahaha.
James, that article is PRO PATERNALISM and against MERITOCRACY! Alfredo argues that the best ones shouldn't be hired at all, but only the worst and most uneducated segments of society, and he preaches that multinationals should teach these uneducated ones hired how to improve their habits and skills from scratch.
Alfredo says that a system like that would allow more blacks and poor people in general to reach the top. He is using paternalism to improve the poor's lives. He wants paternalism to decrease the gap between the rich and poor, but, for some reason, he nicknames the Brazilian Government as "the Brazilian Elites".
Brazil is not different from the US regarding paternalism or meritocracy, the crucial differences are that basic public education in Brazil is terrible (what creates a huge gap between the rich and poor) and here we have a huge Government interfering and distorting the economy. When a car in Brazil costs more than a similar car in Monaco it is obvious that it is harder for the poor here to improve their lives and leave poverty for good.
Read above. I replied to your post.
This is another Brazilian propaganda piece
in the making. They can spend 50% GDP in education,
and the results will be quite miniscule.
(1)51% of Brazil population is Black. Yet, in
today's Brazil there isn't a single CEO or
CIO in the private sector that is Black.
By contrast, the U.S. promoted qualified
Blacks to stewarship as CEO in American Express,
Merrill Lynch (former CEO), and on its own right
such as Moses Asom (Co-founder and CEO of Sychip).
Maybe in five years or so, there will be ONE Black
Brazilian CEO to be paraded and propagandize around
the world to say that they got one. Hehehehe...
(2)This initiative comes from Brazil's public sector.
like Ficha Limpa and other rough edges smoothing
initiatives is all about look good; feel good;
para Ingles ver; nip and tuck.
(3)Some people believe in Education and Health as
their motto.However, they don't believe in Education
+ private venture capital + vision + minimum government
interference as their motto. The latter translate oftentimes
into successes. Education without financing is the same
smoke and mirrors dancing.
(4)Some people believe (erroneously) that Asians are
overachievers, and most other people are achivers on
their time and terms. Just another example of poor excuses,
and a justification of archaic systems long abandoned by
Central Europe powers centuries ago. Yet, these systems
are stuck on the same gear at the so called emerging nations
like Brazil.
(5)One final point: Smarts to be corrupt and an insider is not
the same to smarts to be an innovator, entrepreneur, and brand
creator. Without changing a society completely, the money spent
on education will be squandered yet again. If the top management
has no vision...well, you already know the answer. Just look
at Brazil. Huge, yet nothing innovative of its own accord on
a global scale.
Why educate slaves? Keeping public education horrid serves the Brazilain model of cheap and plentiful domestic labor.
Brazilian workforce is cheap, and that's the country model? I wonder what if you bring 500 company owners, from US, Britain, Germany and Japan, how many of them would agree that Brazil offers cheap labor?
They have a lot of people around the world, annoyed with Brazil, and even the haters abound. are seeing that Brazil is going to show and are trying to sabotage.
This legislation is, as virtually everything the congress (with lowercase "c") passes, a license to steal.
A few years ago the number of NGOs in Brazil exploded.
"Hey, that's a great thing", those of you naive enough to believe in the party line will say.
Turns out that the reason the number of NGOs exploded is because public money given to NGOs does not need to go through rigorous checks and balances. Clever eh?
There were thousands of phantom NGOs milking the heck out of the government teat.
That's Brazil for you. This is NOT the exception, this is the absolute RULE and I tell you more: most of those who criticize these scandals would gladly line their pockets if given the chance.
After all, if "the Ethical Party", as PT calls(ed) itself was caught in a massive vote buying scandal, what to expect of the parties that don't proclaim to be ethical?
The solution to the problem isn't money, obviously.
I wanted to sponsor a little dashboard where we could easily upload and monitor public works of the PAC (Programme for Growth Acceleration). The PAC, for those of you not in the know, is vaporware. Public works supposed to exist that are there only in spirit, syphoning billions of Brazilians pockets for little or no in return.
I offered to pay for software, hardware, people, everything. We would just need to have the person managing the whole thing doing updates in a little webpage, and of course monitor them.
Fair enough right? Wouldn't cost nobody nothing.
So, I posted the idea here in The Economist's website in an article with more than 600 comments.
How many people showed the least amount of support?
That's right.
Simple: the dream of most Brazilians isn't to build a successful company, brand or invent a better doohickey. Their dream is to FIND A TEAT in the government. You can be as incompetent as humanely possible working for the government and you won't get fired. Same as University professors or school teachers. So, people will bitch and moan until they find their teat, then the situation changes completely.
Most Brazilians dream to find a government teat or a scheme where you can make lots of money with little or no work, honesty being completely optional (after all in Brazil the honest guy is normally portrayed as The Proverbial Sucker). Who the heck cares if you are draining the coffers and helping the guy who will stick a gun in your mouth grow with no other option than sticking a gun in your mouth?
Brazil: where social shortsightedness was invented!
Really, do you think people didn`t support your idea because they don't want to be successful? People probably didn't support you because they don't took you for serious.
I'd totally support your idea, even constantly arguing and disagreeing with you. If all you lacks is one person to manage the thing, I'm your guy. I'm an economist, I have politic awareness, experience in the private sector and I know a few things about public administration. If you are really serious, and not just trolling, send me an email at - firstname.lastname@example.com - , and I'll give you full support on your idea.
I, above all political parties, ideologies and other things, support honesty and common sense.
We'll see now, if, as many seem to think here, you are a troll or not. It's your time to prove you're not just babbling around.
"If all you lacks (sic) is one person to manage the thing, I'm your guy."
No you are not.
I don't associate with thugs and cyber macho men.
You've already proven by your "opinions" that you are a part of the problem.
I have no intention of having people like you joining the initiative, so sod off.
As expected: troll.
At least, stop victimizing yourself and saying "boo hoo! No one supported my idea, why can't you all understand doing things MY WAY is the best way?!".
Grow some balls and tell yourself "I'm a frustrated anti-brazil bigot, who vehemently disregard any opinion that doesn't match mine, and would never work with someone who doesn't agree with me."
Victimizing, HeinzIQ91?
Are you sure?
You are the one living there.
I don't pay taxes there and dont live in the middle of filth and crime.
My money isn't stolen by the govern, your money is.
The amount of money to be spent in this project wouldn't benefit me in any shape or form since I don't live there for more than a decade.
If there's any victim here, it's you hahahahhah, living under the yoke of a bunch of goons.
"Some men just want to watch the world burn", right ;)
I'm not the one complaining on the Economist that people don't support my idea, boo hoo ):
Comment sections are not place to start ups or projects. The academia is place for that. Companies are the place for that. Heck, even the government is a place for that.
I pay my taxes, and I pay them gladly. Actually, I think I should pay more, compared to the people of the EDC classes, since I'm from the A class, and they need more than me, and pay more than me.
If you were some sort of criminal and were used to live with goons and bandits when you lived in Brazil, it's probably your own fault. I'm very well here, studying, working honestly and informing myself, surrounded by decent and honest folk, be them the doorman of my building, or my richest friend.
I wonder what vision you have of yourself? You constantly generalize that "all Brazilians are corrupt and don't believe in honesty". Either you have an overestimated, glorified, almost worshiped vision of yourself, or you are one of the pigs you claim you hate so much.
After all, don't you think it's quite unlikely that you are one of the very restrict group of Brazilians, that saw a light and searched for dignity, honesty and freedom?
I was indeed mistaken in the last comments. I should not tell you to "grow some balls". Actually, I have other advice for you: grow up, try to learn how to cope with differences and how to have a realistic vision of yourself.
Hey Hank Chinaski, if you have this level of contempt for Brazil and Brazilians, why don't you just look somewhere else to spend your time and energy? Generalizations like these ("Most Brazilians dream to find a government teat or a scheme...") only make you sound arrogant and ignorant. Unless of course you had a chat with "most Brazilians" and they told you their dreams. Don't assume things you can't possibly know!
I am Brazilian and have left the country for 10 years now, so I seldom spend time and energy there. I most definitely do not finance the asshats in power there as I don't pay taxes there.
So, to a degree I already follow your advice to a T.
Now, if I can't prove that "most Brazilians dream to find a government teat" because I can't possibly have had a chat with most Brazilians, how can you say that what I said is NOT TRUE?
You would need to have a chat with all of them as well to disprove me according to your own criteria, right?
Hence you can't say I am wrong by your own criteria.
Well Hank, not really. I don't need to prove anything as I don't go around making generalizations... Anyway, it was silly of me to reply to your comment. I can't convince you of anything, same way you can't convince me of anything. People have their own opinions and trying to change them is a waste of time. We can disagree. Enjoy the rest of your life! Bye!
A bit like the US, teaching in Brasil attracts poor quality teachers because it is so poorly paid and teaching is seen as a low level profession. Putting money into the system doesn't necessarily change this (especially when there is high corruption). To develop a good educational system requires mature, committed staff who are skilled in modern teaching methods. A good school would maybe stretch to 1000 dollars per month.
I absolutely agree with the article, though I guess, as the experted consulted for the article also suggests, increasing the share of GDP destined to education would also be fundamental in th mid term, because Brazil will need to catch up a lot and fast. That said, the most important thing to do is to use the excellent system of data and tests about the education system nationwide in a smart way, tracking the best results, the best and most productive schools and the municipalities that managed to improve their education system fastest. I'll give an example in my state, the poorer state of Ceará in Brazil's Northeast, where the city of Sobral, a relevant but still relatively poor middle sized city, achieved some of the best scores in the national education exams, even though it is surrounded by some cities that, if not among the lowest performing, are undoubtedly in the lower performance group of municipalities. Sobral is not that different from dozens of other cities in Ceará, so it is obvious its case should be deeply studied to allow the development of a regional program to foster the education of the rest of Ceará and perhaps the neighbor states, which share a similar culture, income, climate, all of that. Finding regional champions and through them finding what does improve education at the local level should be the most fundamental part in Brazil's struggle for a better public education.
Bit of an unfair slant in the article there...saying that Brazil should focus on making sure it's getting results instead of just spending, and then in the next quoted paragraph saying that the country has one of the best results-monitoring systems in the world? I am of course presuming that they will be interested in the results, but given that they have gone to the trouble of developing a very good monitoring system, I'd say that can be accepted as true. I also assume some of this 10% of GDP will actually go on teacher salaries, so that's the second step covered too. What exactly is the point of Ms Bruns' contributions?
(P.s. I know those are two big assumptions when it comes to Brazil and education. Oh, and Dan K. Wynn, do you think that comment makes you sound smart?)
That's an excellent observation, indeed.
These are excellent points made above. It beggars belief that World Bank people (and its neoliberal orthodoxy) after wrecking education systems all around the world is still consulted on these matters.
Brazil having an excellent results monitoring system is not an indication of any commitment to ensuring there is a focus on effective or efficient education spending. A major challenge in Brazil is developing an 'outcomes focussed' approach, it is not a cultural norm. Brazil is largely process driven with often little link between the process and what is to be achieved in terms of key goals, especially at the ground level of organisations both state and large private. This is a key underlying challenge for Brazil to improve in many areas, including education and why more cash won't improve standards but will be happily consumed and syphoned by those ready and those waiting for the opportunity.

Has your fence accumulated dirt over the summer? You can easily clean your stained, wooden fence by following these tips.
Before you start, make sure you have the proper tools: water hose, wood stain in the appropriate color, wood cleaning solution and plastic sheets.
First, lay the plastic sheet under the fence to protect the grass.
Next, mix a cleaning solution. You can either purchase a wood-cleaning solution or you can make your own by using one part bleach and two parts water.
When the solution is ready, apply it to the fence and let it soak in. When the fence appears to be a brighter color and seems to look cleaner, use a hose to rinse off the solution.
Let the fence dry. When it's ready, apply a stain to the wood. You can either choose a color to stain the wood or you can simply apply a wood sealant.

Depression Quotes, Sayings about being depressed
Depression is hard to explain. But I'll try anyway. You see. It's like a disease. It tears you a part. The activities you loved doing like video games, sports, watch youtubers, designing things, draw. It doesn't matter. You can't find any joy in it anymore. You don't smile much because there isn't a reason to you think. It doesn't matter how good you have it. Depression makes everything worthless and hopeless. It can make you do many things. Some people are cured from the disease, to others it can be lethal. It's sad isn't it?
Depression is darkness filling your heart, surrounding your soul.
Everything takes so much energy.
People around you don't understand, you're doing the best you can
Responsibilities overwhelm, expectations you can't meet weigh heavily,
Sorrow fills you until there is no room for anything else.
Strength to fight, to find joy and love, slowly seeps from your soul.
Endless days without hope loom before you, enveloping you in the darkness.
Depression is when you're waiting not to do things; happiness is when you can't wait to do things.
I thought of this saying when I realized that when I was depressed, I stopped myself from doing things – I put obstacles in my way. When you're melancholy it's like when you're in your garage and the engine won't start.
When you're contented, you're revving the engine, raring to go.
Depression cannot be explained, it's impossible, even if two people with depression come together to talk about it. No one knows how to explain it properly but, if you get it you'll know what it is straight away, it changes your whole perspective on life & in a way in the long run depression can sometimes be a good thing.
I'm so broken that I can feel it. I mean, physically feel it. This is so much more than being sad now. This is affecting my whole body.
People think depression is sadness.People think depression is crying. People think depression is dressing in black. But people are wrong. Depression is the constant feeling of being numb. Being numb to emotions, being numb to lie. You wake up in the morning just to go back to bed again. Days aren't really days; they are just annoying obstacles that need to be faced. And how do you face them? Through medication, through drinking, through smoking, through drugs, through cutting. When you're depressed, you grasp on to anything that can get through the day. That's what depression is, not sadness or tears, it's the overwhelming sense of numbness and the desire for anything that can help you make it from one day to the next.
Words unspoken. Let me tell you this: my life hasn't been easy, no life is. I was bullied when I was younger, told I wasn't going to succeed in life by teachers, became the thing I hated most, a bully.
I've been struggling with depression since I was six. Attempted suicide three times. Twice by cutting my wrist but my sister was there to stop me. The third time I laid on a busy street waiting to get ran over but when it almost happen when I thought my suffering was going to end, my two best friends came in and saved me. Made me promise to never do that again. I was an angry child and took it out on my friends.
I hated coming home because my parents were always arguing. Yelling nonsense, they finally got a divorce. But I felt betrayed, I felt abandoned, I felt lonely. Every relationship I ever had was a failure because I couldn't commit. I felt that people were just going to end up leaving me as my father did to me. It wasn't until later on when I had gone back to my faith in God that things got better. Not saying I am happy but I do have my moments. (Thank you for reading).
Often the people with the strongest hearts carry the heaviest ones.
Depression is like drowning. Except you can see everyone else around you breathing.
Depression sneaks up when I think I'm flying high and clips my wing, not both though, because I refuse to let it take over every part of me. I am up again and enjoying the beauty and pleasure that surrounds me.
Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.
– Dodie Smith
When depressed and angry a friend would always cheer you up and brighten up your mind.
Nothing is more depressing than despite the fact of having it all but still feeling empty.
Don't spend your life being depressed by it. As long as you're alive you should be thankful. There are so many people that have it worse than you, don't spend your life being ignorant to that.
Depression: Knowing when you gave your all for that person and all you can do is think of the 'wonderful' moments spent forgetting the hard times and forgiving the ones who REALLY broke your heart, embracing the ones who try to fix it, and finding the one who wants to heal it…but as life goes on you find it harder to forgive than forget, hold on than to let go, love what you hated and hate what you loved…and all you think about is what went wrong? Was it you, or him, chose life or death, love or hate…It's never the same.
Behind my smile is a hurting heart, behind my laugh I'm falling apart. Look closely at me and you will see, the girl I am, it isn't me…
To be depressed is to be lonely; to have a friend is to be happy.
It's recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.
– Harry S Truman
In a strange way, I had fallen in love with my depression.
I'm tired of trying, sick of crying, I know I've been smiling, but inside I'm dying.
I'm just learning how to smile, and that's not easy to do.

@Economist ".. it's probably not legal for the Federal Reserve to facilitate such a transaction..".
On the other side of the coin there is a finite probability that such a transaction it is legal.
If the invasion of the Sovereign State of Iraq was probably not legal as is now widely accepted, why was that event allowed to occur.
The answer lies in where the buck stops.

L A Noble Gallery is delighted to announce an exhibition of photographs made in Japan by world-renowned Magnum photographer Chris Steele-Perkins.
In 1976 he joined the Viva news agency and produced his first book in 1979 – entitled The Teds. In the same year he joined Magnum photos and, for the next 20 years, began to work extensively in the developing world – covering conflicts in Africa, Lebanon and Central America, while also continuing his personal work in Britain. At the end of the 1990's he began to work heavily in Japan, this work resulted in two books: Fuji (2001) and Tokyo Love Hello (2007).
Coinciding with his exploration of Japanese culture his work also began to examine the increasing encroachment upon and damage to the natural environment, as a result of human 'progress'. Steele-Perkins repeatedly used Mount Fuji as a visual anchor within his images, in the manner of acclaimed Japanese artists Hokusai Katsushika and Utagawa Hiroshige, whose wood block prints showed the mountain in the context of early to late to mid-nineteenth century Japanese society.
In Steele-Perkins' modern representation we see the mountain, which has an almost divine status in Japan, surrounded by theme parks, holiday resort towns and golf courses – it is even used as a military test range by Japanese and America armed forces. He continued to explore Japan, streetwalking Tokyo as well as examining sub-cutural cliches such as Geisha, and Sumo. A sense of contradiction is present throughout the work, showing Japan as a country at odds with itself – on the one hand pushing relentlessly to the future, while on the other trying to cling onto its cultural traditions. Steele-Perkins embraces these contradictions, from the beautiful to the absurd and the ancient to the modern.

When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West announced that they were having a child, you could almost hear the Internet "awwws."
And the "ewwwws."
"Oh this baby is going to be so cute," gushed one fan, Amy, on TMZ.com. "I'm so happy for you, Kim!"
Others were less thrilled.
"These two are going to turn motherhood into a farce and a paycheck," read a post by NinpoLore on Huffingtonpost.com. "Someone save me from Kim and Kanye and the resulting bitterness they catalyze inside me."
Ouch. The raven-haired beauty and her antics have always inspired intense emotions. Now, she's made a baby with a rapper not known for his humility (he was mean to Taylor Swift!) while embroiled in a messy divorce with her husband of 72 days.
She is pregnant at the same time as Kate Middleton and Jessica Simpson. Even though their babies will be exposed to loads of media attention, I'm not too worried about their well-being. However, I am concerned for Baby Kimye. How can he or she possibly have a well-adjusted life? As a working mom, I put my child's privacy and safety above everything else. I don't even post pictures of him on Facebook. But I can see Kardashian tweeting every time this baby spits up.
Unfortunately, Baby Kimye likely is doomed to the pages of People and US Weekly, where exhausted mommies in nail salons -- yes, including me -- will unwind with images of her doing "normal things," like throwing a tantrum at a Pinkberry in Santa Monica.
Sure, money will never be an issue for this child. Some speculate that Kardashian could rake in millions from endorsing everything from formula to strollers. If she follows the celebrity mom playbook, you can add a line of baby clothes and a postpartum weight loss product and be certain that Baby Kimye will be diapered in dollar bills.
Considering our culture's obsession with celebrity babies, it's hard enough to keep them out of the spotlight even if you don't actively court it. The paparazzi are always there, snapping photos of Brangelina's kids and catching Suri Cruise with a binky in her mouth.
With her mom already on a reality show and revealing every detail of her daily life, Baby Kimye has no chance of escaping the spotlight. Let's face it: This could be a way for Kardashian to reshape her image, and this baby could be a conduit for that. Instead of headlines about Kardashian's sex life, we'll read about how Baby Kimye took her first step or slept through the night for the first time. Kardashian suddenly would be relatable.
Nothing recasts the public's attention like bundles of joy. After all, motherhood practically reinvented Tori Spelling's career. Same with Nicole Richie. She went from being the best friend of a rich girl famous for having sex on a videotape to a successful fashion designer and judge on NBC's "Fashion Star."
Yes, Baby Kimye will likely change the image of Kardashian as we know it, but who will teach the kid humility? Conservation over excess? A play date with the Brangelina bunch could certainly instill some sense of humility and philanthropy, but those kids are probably booked up through high school.
Baby Kimye needs good influences. Recently, sources close to Kardashian and West told TMZ that the couple turned down an overseas tabloid's offer to pay $3 million to obtain the first photos of the baby. If you ask me, they're holding out for a bidding war in the double digits. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sold the first pictures of their twins for $14 million, but they donated every cent to charity. Not that they have really shielded their six children from the media, but at least more people in a developing nation will have clean water.
Baby Kimye, whether you're a boy or a girl, I have hopes for you. I hope you enjoy the peace and quiet of your mommy's womb because it's going to be a lot different when you come out. When that day comes, I hope your aunts and Grammy Kris hug and kiss you a lot. I hope someone shares with you the beauty of your Armenian heritage. I hope you can go to the park without the paparazzi, and above all, I hope your gift when you turn 5 is not a reality show.

MEXICO CITY (AP) - A buildup of gas in the basement of the headquarters of the national oil company caused a blast that killed 37 people and wounded dozens earlier this week, Mexico's attorney-general said Sunday.
Attorney-General Jesus Murillo Karam said an investigation by Mexican, Spanish, U.S. and British experts found no evidence of explosives in the blast that collapsed several lower floors of the Petroleos Mexicanos administrative building on Thursday afternoon. He said they believed that an electrical fault had caused a spark that detonated the leaking gas. There was scant evidence of the burn marks or evidence of a blast wave typical in a bombing, he said. There was also no sign of a crater like that typically left by an explosive device.
Murillo said officials had yet to discover the source of the gas, which is believed to have been methane gas that either leaked from a number of ducts and tunnels that passed under or connected to the building, or built up from the sewer system.
He described the blast as a "diffuse" explosion, typical of the detonation of a cloud of gas, rather than an explosion that would have emanated from a relatively compact source like a bomb.
He said laboratory tests had turned up "zero" evidence of any explosive.
"This explosion, at its peak, generated an effect on the structures of the floors of the building, first pushing them up and then causing them to fall, and that was the primary cause of deaths in the building," he said.
The announcement late Monday ended days of silence about the potential cause of the company's worst disaster in a decade. The blast fueled debate about the state of Pemex, a vital source of government revenue that is suffering from decades of underinvestment and has been hit by a recent series of accidents that have tarnished its otherwise improving safety record.
Until now, virtually all the accidents had hit its petroleum infrastructure, not its office buildings.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has pledged to open the oil behemoth to more private and foreign investment, setting off warnings among leftists about the privatization of an enterprise seen as one of the pillars of the Mexican state. Pena Nieto has provided few details of the reform he will propose but denies any plan to privatize Pemex.
Murillo said there not yet any evidence of criminal wrongdoing in the disaster, but the possibility of criminal charges remained open.
That disaster was a major setback to a safety record that had been improving following a series of incidents in the 1980s and 1990s, according to company figures. The number of accidents per million hours worked dropped by more than half, from 1.06 in 2005 to 0.42 in 2010. That is in line with the international average of about 0.43 per million, according to the U.K.-based International Association of Oil and Gas Producers, which does not independently verify company numbers.
But Pemex acknowledged in a report that starting in late 2011, a series of smaller blasts and fires, mainly at refineries and petrochemical plants, had "seriously impacted" its safety rate. It said the rate of injuries per million hours had risen to 0.54.
As part of the federal government, Pemex is entirely responsible for inspecting its own buildings. Murillo said investigators were looking into the records of building inspections, and why they had not discovered the accumulation of gas.

Well, now that it's the next day and I've had time to mull it over, I suppose I can give my final impressions of the book as well. I finished it up yesterday afternoon and signed in to write up something about it, but honestly I just felt drained and like I didn't have much to say, so I figured I'd give it time to process. In that time, I decided to pick up the second novel in the SoT series, The Stone of Tears, open it to the approximate middle, find the beginning of a chapter, and give it 50 pages. I learned two things from that experience: 1) My memory does not serve me incorrectly in assistance to my evaluation of this new detestable entry to the series that is The Omen Machine, because The Stone of Tears was considerably more engaging, entertaining, and well thought-out. The characters seem much more real, both in their speech and mannerisms, the environments are fleshed out with significantly better detail and reasoning, and the overall tone of the book is considerably different (in that The Stone of Tears is capable of drawing an emotion from the reader at all other than disgust in oneself for sacrificing the time necessary to read the book. And, with that... 2) These books appear to be written by completely different people. Honestly they are so different that if selections from each were handed to me, and I were ignorant of anything to do with those selections (be it author, story... anything), I would never believe they were from the same author. It's nearly the equivalent of Goodkind having suffered a stroke someone along the line and deciding to struggle on with his writing career. The Omen Machine, as someone said above, feels decidedly YA. Dialogue is amateur and rushed, without feeling like anything important is ever being said. The plot is not only ridiculous, it's horribly incomplete. It's very obvious that Goodkind (whoever it is that wrote this thing) had an idea. I'll go so far as to call it a complete idea, in that it had a set-up, climax, and resolution. Then, someone decided that it's going to need to be split into multiple books for monetary purposes. Goodkind, unsure what to add to his complete idea, just bulked his book out to certain word count with repeated dialogue in nearly every conversation, 3-4 chapters worth of a child character running through a swamp and describing his fear and the swamp itself over and over again (e.g., "As he pushed forward, the swamp became even foggier than the previous section, and the trees seemed to push down around him even more."), another 3-4 chapters later in the book with a different character going through the exact same swamp... You get the idea. And then, at the end of the book, there is a climactic "battle" that takes up about 2 pages, nearly all of the secondary characters (e.g. the villains, other characters working towards something, etc.) are never mentioned, so it's just assumed they're still keeping on with what they were doing. Even the motivation for the villains actions in the "battle" are never given. All in all, the entirety of this book feels like a quarter of just one of the story threads Goodkind would have running in one of his previous entries to the series. That said... am I glad I read it? I guess so, if only because that means I'm back at having read 100% of the series, and that means my opinion is well supported. Otherwise, it's really just depressing to see what this series has devolved into, especially after going back to The Stone of Tears and seeing how it used to be. I am glad I read those 50 pages, though, if only to remind myself that it wasn't terrible at the beginning, and my semi-loyalty is justified. I honestly couldn't recommend this book to anyone, though. I'm not that cold-hearted. I'd be willing to chime in on this - this has made me want to re-read Wizard's First Rule oddly enough. I've also watched all the episodes of the television show (which I actually enjoyed, but only because I've never been one of those people that wants a movie/show adaptation to be exactly the same as the book, and like to see the differences. Plus I like silly fantasy television, haha!) and wouldn't mind watching them again.
Sorry guys, I tried to edit that post above and revise it for clarity, but the site wouldn't let me. Try to ignore the obvious grammatical errors, please(!), I'm at work trying to secretly write this out. At least all the hurried typing made me sound busy!
Well I just finished the book and as I have said before the Sword of Truth series is one of my all time favorites. I'm sure that the fact that I just Finshed Dance With Dragons before reading this did not help but I not very impressed. Overall I would rate it about 2 out of 5. This and Debt of Bones are the only two SOT books that I would not recommend to other readers.
The only two? I would include Law of Nines in the SoT series (especially since the referenced "law of nines" was mentioned no less than 5 times throughout The Omen Machine), and that's definitely a book to stay away from. I would also never willingly try to make someone suffer through Soul of the Fire; that book was atrocious. Also I can't help but feel like you were being more than a little generous with that second star... what do you feel was redeeming enough from The Omen Machine that you would give it 2 stars?
I have not read The Law of Nines so I have no comment on that book. Since I saw that this opened up as number one on the best selling list the week it came out I'm guessing that we are going to see more SOT books in the future.
I am surprised that people still consider reading Goodkind. Especially these days with all the good stuff available. Even if you ignore the usual complaints (poor writing, blatant copying, silly attempts at social and political depth, his stupid pen name) at some point this dude needs to just move on and try something new.
Finished this a few days ago and was really disappointed. I know TG is no literary genius but the writting was absolute horrible. Its almost like a different author wrote this book. It also felt rushed and the book was much shorter than previous books. Also the repetition almost drove me crazy. It felt like TG thought his readers were stupid and had to repeat everything 3 or 4 times to make sure we got it. Cut out the repetition and it wouldn't of been much longer than a short story. The plot was ok. It kept me interested enough to finish the book and probably read the next one (in paperback). The character of Hannis Arc really intrigues me. I hope the writting improves and the repetition is cut out. Seriously what were his editors thinking? I loved the SoT series, but this new one is off to a very poor start. I rate it 2/5, which is the lowest I've rated any Goodkind novel, even LoN.
Shudder. I found 'Wizard's First Rule' a few years into my discovery of the fantasy genre. And I can say, unequivocally, that at the time I loved it. 'Rave rave rave', said I to my friends, 'you must read it!' Book two was a similar experience. I made it to book five I think - the one with the ranting about Goodkind's philosophies 'subtly' written in - before I really started going 'hrrrrm' and wondering what I was doing still reading them. Sadly, I was a collector. So, I had half a series, and that meant I had to buy the lot, albeit with gritted teeth. Throughout this, I was going to university and reading 'grown up' books, while expanding my genre reading. (Oh yes, I am now a full-fledged book-snob, I won't deny it). It was when I was standing in the store, flipping through that ridiculous book with the goat, that the light dawned: I could just throw them away and be rid of them! So I did. I biffed the entire series in the garbage and felt so free and giddy. I'm sure I giggled madly. As to the thoughts of Murf99 and Karyle: Goodkind is well known for his condescension and low opinion of the reading public. I wonder if it is possible that these attitudes are creeping into his work, hence leading to a dumbing-down of his texts (which I'm of the opinion started well before this latest book). He hasn't hesitated to let his own views colour his writing so it's not a stretch to imagine his thoughts about his readers influence his writing style. I hope I'm wrong.

There Will Be A Light
Ben Harper & The Blind Boys of Alabama
Side 1
Side 2
Total runtime: 38:52
Press Release:
GRAMMY® winner for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album and Best Pop Instrumental Performance, "11th Commandment." The song "There Will Be A Light" was also nominated for Best Gospel Performance.
When The Blind Boys of Alabama open their mouths to sing, what comes out is older than salvation, older than redemption. It is the sound of oppression and struggle. It is the sound of revelation and liberation. It is a sound as old as time. The Blind Boys of Alabama are the pyramids of gospel music; the birthplace of sacred soul.
The three original members of the group, (which started out in 1939, as The Five Blind Boys Of Alabama) Clarence Fountain, Jimmy Carter, and George Scott, are all in their mid to late seventies and are all completely blind. Jimmy and George blind from birth, and Clarence, the group's founder, from around age five. His stepmother tried to cure his eye infection with a "home remedy" and blinded him for life.
I have now spent a considerable amount of time with all of them, and I know for certain, they see what we won't, they see what we don't, and they see what we can't. It is an honor to be in their presence and to know they are my friends. I thank them for the singing lessons, and more importantly I thank them for teaching me that blessings are a privilege, not a birthright, and are never to be taken for granted.
What started out as me working with them on a couple of tracks, blossomed and bloomed into an entire record in eight days. It all happened so fast. If it weren't for the recordings that prove that this magic actually happened, I would not be entirely aware of what went on.

As our kids grow up, we recognize that friends play bigger and bigger roles in their lives. They become romantic partners; they help teens develop social skills, try new activities, and provide them with lots of support and encouragement. Through their friends, kids figure out a lot about themselves and who they are becoming. Yet, young people who have trouble forming positive friendship relationships can struggle in many areas of their life.
On the other hand, we worry that our kids' friends aren't always good influences. They may isolate, tease, or bully each other. They may also promote attitudes and behaviors that we don't like. And they can put a lot of pressure on each other to be sexually active, to use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, and to engage in other risky behaviors.
Even though we can't (and shouldn't) control kids' relationships, moms, dads, and other parenting adults actually have a lot of influence their kids' friendship choices and the quality of those relationships, including romantic relationships. Through both your modeling and your actions, you can guide your teens toward the kinds of positive peer relationships that help them make better choices and grow up successfully.
Consider these tips to help you be a positive influence on your child.

Hi, I looked though the forums here but I don't seem to have found a solution to the glesx problem, so since you point that out, maybe do to have a solution?
For the moment, the only thing that makes it work, for me, is rename the file called glesx.so so the driver does not try and use it. That works as long as you don't run *any* gl application. Otherwise, the whole system crashes.
Here is the topic I posted on the forum last night: http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7648
Thanks for any help, I really need to get this thing working quickly!
P.S.: why is there a driver on the AMD/ATI website for HD 2400 Pro if it doesn't work!!??!! If I knew I would have waited before buying the card (and probably payed it less too)!

The History of Corporate GovernanceBrian R. CheffinsUniversity of Cambridge - Faculty of Law; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) December 1, 2011 OXFORD HANDBOOK OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, Mike Wright, Donald Siegel, Kevin Keasey and Igor Filatotchev, eds., Oxford University Press, 2013 University of Cambridge Faculty of Law Research Paper No. 54/2011 ECGI - Law Working Paper No. 184/2012 Abstract: "Corporate governance" first came into vogue in the 1970s in the United States. Within 25 years corporate governance had become the subject of debate worldwide by academics, regulators, executives and investors. This paper traces developments occurring between the mid-1970s and the end of the 1990s, by which point "corporate governance" was well-entrenched as academic and regulatory shorthand. The paper concludes by surveying briefly recent developments and by maintaining that analysis of the inter-relationship between directors, executives and shareholders of publicly traded companies is likely to be conducted through the conceptual prism of corporate governance for the foreseeable future.
