Thank you, Brian, for some sanity.
Once again the host has put on display his Orwellian double speak and his disinformation all in the service of the American Media Cold War Hysteria. I have yet to hear on this program any historical context that Dr. Stephen Cohen has made clear in his critique of the American Media and White House and Congress reaction to Russia. Russia has every right to claim authority in Crimea and even the Ukraine--it is a complex history dating to the Middle Ages so why is this history absent in the media --there has not been one attempt to offer any historical context. Is there a lack of university professors in America? Has the host been to lazy to take a trip to the New York Public Library so he could read some of this History? WE MUST ASK WHY THIS HOST CONTINUES TO NOT REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF CRIMEA AND THE RIGHTS RUSSIA CLAIMS WHICH ARE NOT ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE RIGHTS CLAIMED BY AMERICA IN CUBA OR IN THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR OR IN THE WAR WITH MEXICO IN 19TH CENTURY.
Once again the host had repeated the propaganda of Washington without questioning it. He assumes that the American position is correct. He assumes the street fascists in Kiev are freedom fighters. He is blinded by his anti-Putin bias even when he puts on display that he knows nothing about the history of Russian issues.
Some weeks ago this host was on the air pleading for additional fund raising based on his claim that he and his program were superior to any other news program--that he and he alone was the voice of reason. How often has this person claimed this for himself only to turn around after the funding raising drive to prove himself otherwise. There seems no end to his hypocrisy it seems. He needs to stop claiming that he is so above it all and simply admit he is just like all the other news hacks that pass for professional journalism or is that news reader or PR maker or Propaganda Officer--it is difficult to tell how best to express the Orwellian Media in America these days. Why, we need to ask, is the rhetoric of a New Cold War being advanced by the American News Media, White House, And Congress? The crisis was not and is not being created by Russia or Putin but by America's over the top hypocrisy--- and we all know that we can count on American Imperialism to safeguard the rights of others!!! The world may not love Russia but it hates America more.
I wish there had been a more complete and accurate response to Brian's question comparing the planned referendum in Crimea to the ouster of Yanukovych. Crimea, which had actually agreed to remain as part of Ukraine in 1992, has been invaded by thousands of armed Russian troops. Foreign observers have been turned away each time they try to enter, journalists have been kidnapped, television and internet is interrupted, thousands more ballots have been printed than there are voters, and a self proclaimed governor is in office. These circumstances clearly would not allow for an honest referendum even if one were legal according to Ukrainian and international law.
In contrast, the Ukrainian parliament voted in February, publicly and with the support of Yanuvych's Party of Regions, 328-0 to impeach him and to hold new elections in May. Yanukovych had fled the country, leaving behind incriminating documents and wealth-filled mansions, and was not heard from until he gave a press conference at a shopping mall in Russia a week later. An acting President was chosen, together with an interim government, but the members of Parliament remain the same. These steps were taken in accordance with the Constitution, and without the interference of a foreign power.
I have only made 2 comments, Sparkie.
Brian, if you can't take the time to properly prepare and educate yourself on an issue, don't embarrass yourself on live radio by revealing your ignorance to the public.
@ Rob from Riverdale
Because the Serbs were massacring Muslims in Kosovo. Nobody is killing ethnic Russians in Crimea. Nobody is hurting them. Nobody has even said a bad word about them. I made the Kosovo comparison because Putin saw it as a clear break with international law traditions (which it was) against another Slavic nation. Russian values are different owing to their history of being invaded by the major western powers like France 1812, UK 1853, USA 1918 and Germany 1941... pretty much every 1/2 century or so like clockwork.
BRAVO BRIAN!! Well argued re Ukraine and Russia!
How many secret identities can I have here, hmmm? LOL
Gideon Rose sat on a tack, Gideon rose.
How is Crimea different from Kosovo? Why can the US invade Iraq, but Russian not defend the ethnic Russians derisers in the Ukraine?
LMAO Brian's ideas of what we "stand for". HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAA. Rhetoric!
Where are the "anti-war" hypocrites, regressive "progressive", pacifica drones protesting across the street from KGB Putins Russian embassy/mission/consulate?
AggressiveRussian Imperialism is OK to the fraudulent left?
OK, I get it -- the Russian invasion of Ukraine does not matter, because the tide of history is against them, like on Check 68 and the Berlin wall --- so maybe after 50 years of people's lives being destroyed, history will win out. Sounds like our Secretary of State.
Ugh, Gideon Rose is such a schmuck... how does seizing Crimea "weaken" Russia? This guy is a neocon bible thumper... if anything it is very clear that NATO is hamstrung by their respective governments economic weakness.
My take on the situation is frankly that this is payback for Kosovo (remember the Munich speech?) and that's how Putin sees this situation i.e. 1/2 ironic revenge and 1/2 Realpolitik. If I'm right than we need a solution that includes the same proportion of Realpolitik (NATO forces in Ukraine, especially around Kiev) and aggressive diplomatic engagement to reintegrate Crimea into Ukraine and security guarantees for Russia like a long term agreement on missile defense, probably another ABM treaty like the one we UNILATERALLY withdrew from in 2002.
Cri-me-a River.
The Crimea was already rather autonomous. Cut it loose!
If Putin wants it, let him have it, but I'm sure they will want to keep their autonomy.
The Ukraine is a better country as a smaller country, and then they can join the EU.
Reading some of the comments on this page makes me think that some are feeling really suicidal this morning.
Be tough with Russia Obama, more money to be spent on the military and more. Hay suicidals a war with Russia will within days go nuclear. New York City will end with a few mushroom clouds over it. Dah ???//??/..
Better a neo-con than a neo-commie.
@ Martin Chuzzlewit from Manhattan
Condi is a neocon fraud. Here is her quoted statement, corrected for obvious factual inaccuracies:
"Radically declining U.S. defense budgets is a signal to the world that the economic malaise brought on by protected financial elites and massive, government abetted corruption and the destruction of the rule of law has resulted in a nearly mortal self inflicted wound. We have exhausted the popular will and foresworn the moral standing necessary to sustain the global order owing to our illegal invasion of Iraq (which I presided over)and most importantly our unswerving support of the state of Israel's fascist government and genocidal policies towards the Palestinians. The United States must restore its standing in the international community which only be accomplished by extending the hand of friendship to former adversaries who are willing to work with us based on mutual interest and by remembering that like the UK empire we have no eternal friends nor enemies but only interests. These global developments have not happened in response to an intelligent U.S. foreign policy. They have come due to signals that we are exhausted and disinterested for the aforementioned reasons."
@ Martin Chuzzlewit from Manhattan
If there is any country that we ought to go to war over (other than NATO/JAPAN, obviously) it would be Ukraine. The cowardice of the American political establishment and the people who elected them to power never ceases to amaze me. Since you linked to Brzezinski's op ed I'll go ahead and quote directly from his post cold war masterpiece "The Grand Chessboard":
"if Moscow regains control over Ukraine,with its 52 million people and major resources as well as its access to the Black Sea, Russia automatically again regains the wherewithal to become a powerful imperial state, spanning Europe and Asia. Ukraine's loss of independence would have immediate consequences for Central Europe, transforming Poland into the
geopolitical pivot on the eastern frontier of a united Europe."
The defense cuts are not the problem. The military industrial complex and the new Secret Security "intelligence" services and their "dark" budgets are the issue. Our national priorities are completely skewed and the next decade is going to be a very dangerous one considering the extremely poor choices on both sides of the aisle for 2016.
Condoleezza Rice, in a Wash Post op-ed, wonderfully underscored my earlier post -
(ooooh, evil Condi Rice, Grrrr!!!)
"Radically declining U.S. defense budgets signal that we no longer have the will or intention to sustain global order. Most important, the United States must restore its standing in the international community, which has been eroded by too many extended hands of friendship to our adversaries, sometimes at the expense of our friends.
These global developments have not happened in response to a muscular U.S. foreign policy. They have come due to signals that we are exhausted and disinterested."
Barack Obama's tenure as president has rendered his nickname "No Drama Obama" obsolete. His new nickname should be "Rollover Obama." That's because any time Obama has faced the slightest pushback from an opponent he rolls over and surrenders. Obama is nothing but a spineless, gutless, sniveling, cowering empty suit.
It's a nauseating, nightmarish state of affairs when the best that a nation of 300 million people can do for a leader is a vacuous, effete, foppish, metrosexual milquetoast dandy named Barack Obama.
When Vladimir Putin and his fellow thugs look at Obama they see a loser with a "kick me" sign on his back. They see a leader of the free world who is every bit as fierce and intimidating as Ellen DeGeneres.
The Crimea/Ukraine crisis is the biggest foreign policy test of Obama's presidency. Yet your coverage of this crisis hasn't come close to adequate in terms of depth or breadth. So far, your coverage has been cursory, perfunctory, and downright lazy. This story cries out for far more airtime than you have devoted to it.
I challenge you, Brian, to convene an emergency daylong teach-in at the Greene Space with Steve Clemons, David Remnick, Richard Haass, Gideon Rose, Nicholas Burns, Fred Kaplan, Tom Ricks, Leon Aron, Stephen Sestanovich, Hedrick Smith, Walter Russell Mead, Robert Legvold, Dimitri Simes, Charles Kupchan, Jack Matlock, and Thomas P.M. Barnett to name a few, for the purpose of brainstorming solutions to the current crisis and figuring out how the US can best co-exist with Putin moving forward.
The Leftist Obama Media exaggerates, as usual, that Obama's critics want to "go to war" over Crimea.
Nonsense. Henry Kissinger's op-ed in the Wash Post was accurate about the limited options, as was that of Zbignew Brzezinski. (Links below) The speakers were even muted at CPAC.
What IS problematic is yet another massive (114 BILLION dollars!) cut this year in the defense budget in a world which nobody but Valerie Jarrett can fantasize isn't getting ever more chaotic, dangerous and is arming itself to the teeth. When Obama's former Secretary of Defense Secretary Bob Gates was asked Sunday if he would have resigned over these LATEST defense slashes, he declined to answer.
What IS dangerous is the real perception, from Tokyo to Riyadh to Berlin, of the disappearance of American diplomatic leadership and a commitment to solving even the smallest problems (other than bullying Israel). The repeated complaints from world capitals that Obama appears disinterested in international affairs are NOT a right wing invention.

Christoph Waltz 'in talks' to play horrible boss in 'Horrible Bosses 2'
'Inglourious Basterds' star would play one half of a father-son duo alongside Chris PineBuy Christoph Waltz DVDs
from Amazon UK
Christoph Waltz is set to appear in Horrible Bosses 2 after all.
Waltz was linked to the comedy sequel earlier this month (October) but was said to have passed on a role as one of the new horrible bosses due to a scheduling clash. However, Deadline reports that Waltz now has space in his diary and the film's makers New Line have confirmed he is "in talks" to play one half of a father-son duo alongside Chris Pine.
Pine signed up earlier this month, joining original trio Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, who are all reprising their roles from the first Horrible Bosses film. Jamie Foxx is also returning as self-styled "murder consultant" Motherfucker Jones.
Released in July 2011, Horrible Bosses starred Bateman, Day and Sudeikis as a trio of harassed employees who team up to murder each others' managers, played by Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston. Made for a modest $35 million (£23 million), the hit comedy went on to gross nearly $210 million (£135 million) at cinemas worldwide and a sequel was confirmed in January of last year (2012).
Original Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon had been due to return but dropped out in August due to scheduling difficulties. Sean Anders, one of the writers of this year's We're The Millers, which also starred Sudeikis, then took over the director's chair and started shooting the sequel on September 12. Bateman marked the occasion by tweeting a picture of the original trio on set.
Horrible Bosses 2 has a script by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who penned the original film with a third screenwriter, Michael Markowitz, but exact plot details are currently unknown. It's set to open in UK and US cinemas on November 28, 2014.

- Next: Jamie Foxx reveals his 'Annie' character is inspired by P Diddy

To answer someone's question about to make energy credits:
Sell just about anything you get except for some hynos and shield charges for yourself. And when you sell it, sell it on Starbase to a Starfleet NPC. Selling in to your replicator nets you 40% of the item's value as opposed to the 50% Starbases offer.
Consoles and some weapons are best sold on the Exhange as you can get a decent return there. I usually sell commons for 80% of their value. This gets them sold quickly, makes more more credits then selling them to a vendor, and is cheaper on the buyer as he gets what he wants for less then a vendor will sell it for. Blues and greens go for a bit more, like 100% their value. But not the outrageous 100,000 for a common Mk3 photon torp I have seen.
I also use a mishmash of stuff, even at Lt. Commander. For example I still use a Mk 2 science console to give me some increased crew recovery.
These practices have allowed me to buy a science vessel and an escort in addition to my free cruiser as well as staying outfighted in the best weapons and equipment energy can buy.

Nearly 10,000 children in Humboldt County are at risk for hunger -- living at or below the federal poverty line.

We partner with many organizations to feed children through our After School Snack, Children's Summer Lunch and Backpacks for Kids programs. During the summer months, we provided 16,144 free, nutritious lunches to more than 300 kids daily at 20 sites throughout the county. When school is in session, we provide healthy snacks to over 250 children daily through our After School Program partners. We also send home sacks of groceries with children every weekend through the Backpacks for Kids program. Even with our recent expansion of the program, we are still only able to serve 15% of children in need. 2 special insert to the north coast Journal � �thursday, dec. 1, 2011 1 2 special insert to the north coast Journal thursday, december Donate online at: www.foodforpeople.org 707-445-3166 Feeding Our Elders Seniors are some of the most vulnerable members of our community, and they often have to stretch limited budgets and make difficult choices in order to pay for the basic necessities and still afford good food.

From Our Director The food collected during the holiday season is something we depend on to carry us through the coming months. Within the last year, Food for People has seen our reserve of locally donated food supplies dwindle due to an immense increase in need -- up 45% from just the previous year. With your help, we can ensure all families have enough to eat during the Our Volunteers The heart of our organization is our volunteers, and that equals a very big heart! Working at the Food for People pantry, it's easy to be touched by the volunteers and their dedication. "Make sure you let people know all the choices we have today!" or "Did you tell them about the free produce market coming up?" are some of the conversations you Putting a face on hunger is important to us at Food for People. Each and every day we see people from all walks of life who share their personal stories. Some of the stories are incredibly humbling and reflect the challenges that have brought an increasing number of people to our door as the economy has worsened. They include seniors who are living solely on their Social Security income; individuals who can no longer work due to injury or illness; and families who are struggling to put food on the table and still pay the other bills after losing their jobs or dealing with unexpected medical expenses or car repairs. They include our friends and neighbors who live next door, sit next to us at church or go to school with our children. And their stories remind us that circumstances can change for any one of us in the blink of an eye. That's the message we hope you will remember this holiday season. We never know what life has in store for us, but if we believe in the power of "paying it forward" by donating food, serving as a volunteer or making a financial donation so that the next person who walks through the doors at the Food Bank receives the help they need, then we've created the kind of community we all want to live in. Warmest wishes to you and yours for a joyous holiday season from all of us here at Food for People.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Fucking Weezer. Rivers C. and the other dudes (till Matt Sharp returns, who cares?) make one-third of a decent record—pure pop for now people, if your "now" happens to be somewhere between the blue debut and Pinkerton. "Troublemaker" goes nowhere, but it's a catchy rut nonetheless; "Pork and Beans" is a screw-you with a smile; "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn)" is as perfect a career distillation as Cuomo will ever conjure; album adios "The Angel and the One" is 6:46 of heartbreakingly lovely cut with enough smarm to make it palatable, barely. ("It's not my destiny to be the one that you will lay with," sings Cuomo at the start, and it's downhill from there.) So, yeah, four out of ten are keepers—which is a touch generous, as "Troublemaker" is also tired-making after a while, but still. The rest, though: unlistenable, nothing to see here, move along. Course, it didn't have to be this way: The "deluxe edition" of this, the red album, features five outtakes better than the songs that made the cut—which isn't saying much, as only two of them are worth adding to the permanent playlist ("Miss Sweeney," which I swear to God has the exact same chorus as "Susanne"; and "The Spider," again with the Pet Sounds). Best song, though: "The Weight" off the U.K. version. Because the Band wrote it.

BOff AI Pathfinding
The AI pathfinding on the away teams still seems to be broken. I frequently find myself having to go back and find them, or stopping and waiting at every door to make sure they all make it through.
Its quite annoying with Long random away missions i.e. delta volonis explorations, with no respawn points; dying because all my trusty BO's are stuck on a door graphic 60+ meters away; then having to respawn at the beginning and walking, not running (Bo's get lost) all the way back to the end of the map, stopping at every door to make sure everyone makes it through.
If I bugged this everytime it happened there would be hundreds of bug reports from me alone.

CREW AVAILABLE: FL to...?? Experienced bluewater sailor, looking for a new gig!
I am 28, in great health and an avid sailor with some bluewater and coastal experience (see my resume attached). I also have my 50 ton captains license. I'm not expecting much as far as compensation, just food while on board and some help with a return ticket home wherever we end up!
I'm currently in Florida and looking to get on a boat ASAP to any destination! Preferably the Caribbean or an Atlantic crossing...but I'll take a boat to pretty much anywhere and I can depart at anytime.
I've got a good disposition for long crossings, as my references can attest to. I'm easy going, good at conversation and don't smoke.
Let me know if you'd like to have me as crew...send me a PM, reply to this post or email me at the address on my resume...fair winds and following seas!

Author has written 39 stories for Wild Wild West, Doctor Who, Mr. Lucky, Radio Dramas, and Hoka Stories.
Currently unplugged from home internet while I find a better ISP. See you at the library!
Niecie Sparrow = Niecie the Wild Wild Whovian = The Wild Wild Whovian
(Yes, I've changed my pen name. Twice.)
Artemus Gordon / Ross Martin fan girl here.
I started writing Wild Wild West fanfiction in the summer of 2011. I've posted here all the stories I had already posted elsewhere (after various degrees of rewriting) as well as new stories I've been completing. The plan is to post at least one chapter a week, usually three per week, M/W/F.
Update to the plan above:
And the hiatus is now over! To give myself more time to finish stories, however, I'm cutting back to posting twice a week, Mondays & Fridays.
What, you may ask, are the Hoka Stories? Hokas are sentient alien teddy bears with the most active imaginations in the known universe. Created by Poul Anderson & Gordon R Dickson, the Hokas inhabit the pages of Earthman's Burden, Hoka!, Hoka! Hoka! Hoka!, Hokas Pokas!, and The Sound and The Furry: the Complete Hoka Stories.
My favorite Hoka story, hands down, is "The Adventure of the Misplaced Hound," in which we meet the Hoka Sherlock Holmes, as well as a fellow who is the very model of a modern major operative.
The more I read the Hoka stories, in fact, the more I come to the conclusion that Anderson & Dickson managed to get away with professionally publishing fanfictions!
The designation of AU on any of my WWW stories simply means that
Stories in the Gordon family arc (some AU, some not):
Uncle Artie — a Reminiscence
Stories in the Pterovnia arc:
TNOT Kiss of Death
The Pterovnian language, which I invented for the two stories above:
The letter j is pronounced as y.
Atuchejnte djo = Farewell to you (m)
I made a set of illustrations for my fanfic TNOT Kiss of Death. Here are the links:

Scientists decode visual illusion
Scientists have found that the brain process behind a famous visual illusion can occur after as little as 1/40th of a second and that it can take place every time we see something moving.
Watch something in motion, say, a waterfall or scrolling text on a video game, then look away at a rock, a wall, or anything stationary. Briefly, the stationary object will appear to move in the opposite direction.
This visual illusion has been recognized for a very long time; Aristotle first noted it. Now, a new study has found that even a very brief glimpse of motion — for as little as 1/40 of a second — can trigger the brain mechanism responsible for the illusion.
"It all comes back to a process called adaptation, the idea you change the sensitivity of your senses based on the environment you are in, and you do this constantly," said Davis Glasser, the lead researcher and a graduate student at the University of Rochester.
For example, when you put your clothes on in the morning, you only feel them against your skin for a short time, or when you walk into a room with a noisy air conditioner, you only hear it for a short time, Glasser explained. It is theorized that adaptation allows us to ignore a constant stimulus so we can detect other things, he said.
The visual illusion, called a Motion Aftereffect, is visual evidence that our brains have adapted to the motion we see. By looking at a stationary object, we can "read out" this adaptation, which appears as the illusory motion, according to Glasser. [See the visual illusion]
Using tests in which participants responded to videos, Glasser and his colleagues found that after only a very brief exposure to an image in motion, the brain responds to stationary objects as if they are actually moving. They found a corresponding pattern of activity in tests of individual brain cells from a visual brain region important for perceiving motion.
The motion needed to elicit this response in the human participants was so brief that the human subjects could not consciously tell the direction in which it was going. However, it still affected their perception of a stationary image.
The brevity of exposure to motion needed to stimulate these responses indicates this process is an automatic adaptation and can happen anytime you see something moving, according to Glasser. [Eye Tricks: Gallery of Visual Illusions]
Glasser said he is now exploring the long-standing theory that adaptation to a particular stimulus, such as motion in our visual field, improves our sensitivity to other stimuli.

All Canon was asked to do by the photogs was to improve the AF of MKII. I don't need a GPS or a WiFi for an image which I could not take due to bad AF. I just hope now that real life AF of 6D is much better than it looks on the specs sheet.
A lot of people make note that Canon is trying to sell a features stripped camera in a highly competitive market. I totally agree that this is a bad marketing. I guess Canon shot themselves in the foot with high price of 5D MKIII. Now they have to make sure entry level body specs come nowhere close to MKIII in order to protect MKIII sales. That could be an OK strategy if no other products existed on this market. Obviously, Canon did not notice a large group of elephants in the room. Too bad for a company with great optics.

People with Parkinson's disease are twice as likely to be recurrent fallers compared to other older people. As these falls have devastating consequences, there is an urgent need to identify and test innovative interventions with the potential to reduce falls in people with Parkinson's disease. The main objective of this randomised controlled trial is to determine whether fall rates can be reduced in people with Parkinson's disease using exercise targeting three potentially remediable risk factors for falls (reduced balance, reduced leg muscle strength and freezing of gait). In addition we will establish the cost effectiveness of the exercise program from the health provider's perspective.
230 community-dwelling participants with idiopathic Parkinson's disease will be recruited. Eligible participants will also have a history of falls or be identified as being at risk of falls on assessment. Participants will be randomly allocated to a usual-care control group or an intervention group which will undertake weight-bearing balance and strengthening exercises and use cueing strategies to address freezing of gait. The intervention group will choose between the home-based or support group-based mode of the program. Participants in both groups will receive standardized falls prevention advice. The primary outcome measure will be fall rates. Participants will record falls and medical interventions in a diary for the duration of the 6-month intervention period. Secondary measures include the Parkinson's Disease Falls Risk Score, maximal leg muscle strength, standing balance, the Short Physical Performance Battery, freezing of gait, health and well being, habitual physical activity and positive and negative affect schedule.
No adequately powered studies have investigated exercise interventions aimed at reducing falls in people with Parkinson's disease. This trial will determine the effectiveness of the exercise intervention in reducing falls and its cost effectiveness. This pragmatic program, if found to be effective, has the potential to be implemented within existing community services.
Trial registration
The protocol for this study is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12608000303347).

Public outrage vs. public transit in San Diego
The company has approvals to build a high-rise residential and retail complex in this area, which Michele Addington calls home.
Addington owns a condo in the same building as the Bishops. She bought it in August after living in La Jolla for 13 years — and taking more than a year to "choose which area I was going to be in."
She said she wouldn't have bought her unit if she knew a bus lot might be put next door, but that her neighbors' activism has been impressive.
"It's very important that people know their communities and be involved in their communities and not just accept what happens to them," she said.
While a decision is a year away, a SANDAG committee will be briefed on the bus lot proposal Friday.
As Bob Bishop and I talked, La Mesa Mayor Art Madrid, one of SANDAG's 21 voting members, was replying to a note Bishop sent the group Monday.
"Robert, thanks for your email," Madrid wrote. "I WILL NOT be supporting the current recommended new bus location."
"One down," Bishop said.
Who knows?

From the Publisher:
Since the early 1960s, William Christenberry has plumbed the regional identity of the American South focusing his attention on Hale County, Alabama, from which he hails. Although he is most often associated with American color photography, his multifaceted vision encompasses a mix of media that includes sculpture, drawing, painting and found-object assemblage. To understand the scope and complexity of his decades-long project, these various media must be considered together.|His documentation of vernacular architecture, country churches and graveyards, signage, and landscape captures moments of quiet beauty in a sometimes mythic terrain that, with its worn iconography and buildings turned ramshackle, evokes the form and power of the passage of time. Since relocating to Washington, D.C., in 1968, Christenberry has dutifully returned home to photograph and consider the same locations annually - the green barn, the palmist building, the Bar-B-Q Inn, among others - fulfilling a personal ritual and documenting the physical changes wrought by the passing of a year. More than half the work in this comprehensive publication is previously unpublished.

From our spectator's point of view, we will often equate an high AM with high quality of play, because winners are more
. Thus, we will consider a match where one player as high AM as a pleasant match, and more so if both players have an high AM. Thus, quality means more, is this case, spectacular than "high competitive level of play".
Actually the AM's cannot tell you which matches were most entertaining -- if we think of entertaining matches as having a lot of winners.
There are two ways to get a high AM. You could increase your winners; that would be a more entertaining match. Or you could get a high AM by decreasing your unforced errors. In the latter case, maybe the number of winners you made was not unusually high and what was really great about your level of play was how few errors you made. That sort of match would not qualify as entertaining -- not if we're looking for winner-heavy matches.
Maybe you read my post above to Urban, about the 1987-88 USO finals between Wilander and Lendl. Most people, myself included, would consider the '88 final to be more exciting. There is more net play and Lendl is hitting a lot of passes and other aggressive winners. The rate of winners -- meaning how frequently they occurred in the match -- was faster than in the '87 match. But the rate of errors was also faster than it was in '87.
The '87 final featured endless rallies, and some people said it was like watching paint dry. I actually think the match was better quality than the '88 final, because Lendl's UE's were so low. (He went from 58ue in '87 to 85ueE in '88.) But that made the match less exciting.
And you can guess what I'm going to say next: the less exciting match had the higher AM's.

We know that he was able to execute an aggressive pattern of winnings points as successfully as Roger did, and we know than from a spectator standpoints, his performance was as enjoyable. But that doesn't necessarily means that he played
, as the AM is related to the level of his opponent. In this case, the AM of Federer for the Olympic final suggest that he played worse: he couldn't execute successfully an aggressive pattern of play, and he probably didn't defend as well,
thus enabling Murray to considerably rise his own AM, even if himself played worse too
! The inverse is possible too: Murray was so good in the Olympic final that Federer's AM dropped. I know for seeing these matches that Federer's level did drop off (he was clearly mentally tired after is SF against Del Potro), but the statistics themselves don't really tell the competitive level of play of both players. They say that the Wimbledon final was a better match from a spectator points of view.
The part I bolded is where I have disagreements.
Federer did not play well in the Olympic final, agreed. He made a lot more UE's than in the Wimbledon final, yes, so far so good.
But if your opponent's UE's rise, your own AM will fall. You can work it out in Excel or with a calculator: punch in higher numbers for Federer's UE. Murray's AM will fall.
Or just think about it this way: when your opponent's UEs increase, you're getting more of the points for free. More of the points in the match are being handed to you on a platter (I'm exaggerating to make the point) -- that is, you did not have to make any aggressive plays on those points. The number of points that you have to win through your own aggressive plays to win the match has suddenly decreased.
Let's take the Olympic final and increase Federer's UEs.
Federer won 68 points and made 31 UE's - AM of 12.1%
Murray won 97 points and made 17 UE's - AM of 29.7%
Those were the real numbers. Murray won 97 points in the match, making aggressive plays for 66 of the points. And he won 31 additional points that Federer handed to him.
Now let's change Federer's UE to 41:
Federer won 68 points and made 41 UE's - AM of 6.1%.
Murray won 97 points and made 17 UE's - AM of 23.6%.
Now Murray only has to make aggressive plays on 56 points; 41 points are now being handed to him.
Let's say Murray tanks, and hands Federer all of the points in the match. Federer wins 6-0, 6-0, 6-0. Eighteen straight games, 72 straight points -- all of them won by Federer on Murray's unforced errors. Federer didn't have to lift a finger to win anything.
Murray's AM in that scenario would be negative: -100%. Federer's AM would be exactly 0.0%.
I think you've put your finger on some good issues, but I don't think it's valid to say that Murray's AM was high in the Olympic final because Federer's was low. If your opponent is handing you the match, you're getting free points rather than making aggressive plays, so your own AM has to go down too.

After taking that poll I was intersted in hearing what everyones top issues are for the Presidential election.
Mine are Iran, Iraq, Immigration reform, dealing with illegal immigration and those who are here illegaly and education reform. I would say health care but odds are they will never get to it because the money will stifle the attempt. I would also like to see a reform on elections and fundraising.
One thing that will probably be on the top of my list by next november will be China and the new relationship they may be forming with Russia.

McDonnell makes slight alterations to transportation bill
The transportation legislation passed in the 2013 General Assembly session is likely to go down as a key piece of McDonnell's legacy, as Virginia for decades has gone with dwindling funds for new roads and maintenance.
The Republican governor's proposed solution, approved on bipartisan votes, is built on a string of tax increases and fees estimated to raise approximately $900 million a year.
According to McDonnell's office, key amendments include:
-Reducing the proposed vehicle titling tax increase from 4.3 percent to 4.15 percent.
-Reducing the Alternative Fuel Vehicles annual Fee from $100 to $64.
-Correcting and reducing the rate of taxation for the regional congestion relief fee. The stated goal for this fee was to raise approximately $30 million per year. Based on slightly incorrect data, the fee was set at $0.25/$100 for real estate transactions. Utilizing correct data, a rate of $0.15/$100 will generate the same revenue of $30 million per year.
-Reducing the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) in Northern Virginia. At 3 percent, the TOT would place the tax in Northern Virginia near or above surrounding out-of-state jurisdictions. Reducing the rate to 2 percent will not significantly impact revenues, but will ensure Virginia's hotels remain competitive.
-Addressing potential legal questions regarding regional taxation authority for Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. Amendments are made to the sections imposing the regional taxes for transportation by the state to improve the legal posture of the law by changing the applicability of the taxes to any Planning District Commission meeting certain empirical thresholds including population, registered vehicles and transit ridership. Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia are the only jurisdictions currently meeting these criteria, but in the future other parts of the Commonwealth could utilize these tools if their transportation challenges continue to grow.

The wow forums are largely useless to me.
You play an MMO namely WoW, and you discuss all sorts of things not relating to the game in trade chat, guild chat, friends, random groups.
But on the forums god help you if you do anything but praise wow and only wow.
I'd probably hang out on there a lot more if I didn't have to use my authenticator to log in constantly. They should really make a single sign-in system throughout the forums shared with the one in the BNet client. I like the way it remembers my auth like forever as well.

From the Publisher"Baskin has given us an excellent study of women in rabbinic Judaism and Jewish culture of late antiquity. Hers is a serious and well informed voice that must be engaged in any future conversation on this topic . . . Baskin's book should be required reading . . . for those interested in Jewish women in late antiquity."—AJS Review
"Baskin demonstrates that rabbinic conceptions of marriage reflect an identification of marriage with appropriation and legal acquisition, rather than with partnership."—National Women's Studies Association Journal
"Baskin's work is well argued emphasizing that although women today may have already started on the road to repairing what the rabbis stipulated, they still have a way to go before the long Talmudic legacy of denying women a strong social role can be fully addressed and reversed."—Journal of the American Academy of Religion
"Baskin's book is essential reading for those who wish to understand classical rabbinic views of women and the feminine. . . a major contribution of the volume is its focus on aggadic midrash (i.e., nonlegal biblical interpretation) rather than the legal writings known as the halakah that more typically ground scholarly discussions of rabbinic thought. While still incorporating halakic traditions in her analysis, Baskin makes the important point that "aggadic literature frequently preserves a more nuanced and complex view of women."—Choice

Guests:June Squibb
Comments [2]
Ms. Squibb is absolutely wonderful in "Nebraska."
How Stacey Keach's equally fine performance was overlooked by the Academy is beyond me.
June Squibb was great in Nebraska and hopefully will win an Oscar for her performance.

Details about supercommittee cuts remain elusive
Wednesday - 11/16/2011, 12:05pm EST
By Jack Moore
Federal News Radio
With just a week to go before the supercommittee's deadline to come up $1.2 trillion in deficit cuts, questions abound.
If the panel can't agree on a deal, then across-the-board cuts from both civilian agencies and the Defense Department — known as sequestration — will be enacted.
But even if the supercommittee comes up with a plan, details about what and how they plan to cut remain elusive.
"At this point, we don't know where any of these axes are going to fall," said Bill Frenzel, a guest scholar of economic studies at the Brookings Institution. "The committee is working hard, but it hasn't revealed any progress it's made. So we're not sure what it's going to do."
One thing is certain, though. The cuts, whether through a committee compromise or sequestration, are sure to have an impact.
"It's going to change the way we all live," Frenzel, a former ranking minority member of the House Budget Committee, said in an interview with the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris
"I suspect that the effect is going to be felt all through the agencies of government," he added. "That no particular one is going to feel it more heavily than the others. We're all going to have to work a little differently."
By the skin of their teeth?
Frenzel said he thinks the panel will be fairly specific in its recommendations — that is, if it meets its deadline. He said the $1.2 trillion figure is "achievable," but that the supercommittee has been pushed and prodded by members of Congress and others to go even further.
That entails taking on the major entitlements and increasing revenue, both of which are "anathema" to Democrats and Republicans, respectively, Frenzel said.
"I think they can make their $1.2 trillion [goal] by the skin of their teeth," he said.
Larger cuts will be more difficult — but may be necessary, in the long run, he added.
"I think, for agencies, it would be better to know the total carnage early rather than have another round of these things occur next year, and another the following year," Frenzel explained. "It would be better if the committee could exceed its total this year, so that the agencies could plan for the future."
The "easiest" area for Congress to cut is domestic discretionary expenditure, he said. Defense, "which seems to be under the gun right at the moment," Frenzel said, is more difficult to cut but still doable.
Entitlements, "which have always been the third-rail of politics," Frenzel said, and revenue are the most entrenched.
These, which are often the most politically contentious, will likely be dealt with after all of the more palatable cuts have been made, he suggested.
Frenzel, who advised President Bill Clinton on free-trade agreement and President George W. Bush on Social Security, said a deterioration in bipartisanship is partly to blame for the down-to-the-wire Congressional budget antics.
"The Congress is as polarized as the public is," he said.
