Oscar-winner (and Hollywood icon) Denzel Washington likes to vary between roles in prestigious drama fare and more mainstream, action-packed material. He's not planning to drop that habit anytime soon, seeing how he recently wrapped work on director Robert Zemeckis' Flight – and is now in talks to play an undercover government agent in the upcoming comic book adaptation, 2 Guns.
Mark Wahlberg is already onboard to co-headline 2 Guns, which reteams the actor with his Contraband director, Baltasar Kormákur. Financing for the lightweight action-thriller is currently being assembled, with Universal Pictures already committed to marketing and distributing the film in the U.S..
The comically-convoluted and lightweight nature of the 2 Guns plot briefly attracted the interest of David O. Russell (who last teamed with Wahlberg on The Fighter) in 2011, but the writer-director ultimately passed on the project. Kormákur was thereafter hired on and is slated to work from the script draft penned by Law & Order: LA co-showrunner Blake Masters – who was originally reported to be designing 2 Guns as a 1980s-style ethnically-diverse buddy movie, in the vein of 48 Hrs. (hence, the pairing of Washington with Wahlberg).
Wahlberg is more of an established action star than previous Washington co-stars – including, Ryan Reynolds in this week's new release, Safe House – so 2 Guns should feature a main starring duo who's on somewhat more even dramatic acting ground (a la Washington and Clive Owens in Inside Man) than previous Washington-led onscreen pairings, like that with Ethan Hawke in Training Day and Chris Pine in Unstoppable. Still gotta give Washington the acting edge over Wahlberg, of course, but still…
2 Guns should also be heavier on the action (rather than the comedy quotient) under Kormákur's direction, than it would have been under Russell's. The former's first joint effort with Wahlberg, Contraband, is a pretty average heist film that Kormákur failed to elevate above its B-movie trappings. Hopefully, he's learned a few lessons from that experience and will do better with 2 Guns. Having Washington onboard is already a step in the right direction.
Expect 2 Guns to make its way into theaters sometime in 2013.

Soong Ching Ling's Former Residence
View the former residence of Soong Ching Ling, late honorary chairman of the People' s Republic of China.This property was originally the garden residence of a Qing Dynasty prince. In those days there were more buildings on the land, but through neglect fell into ruin. Sometime after 1949, the PRC decided to build Song Qingling a home in Beijing. It was finished in 1963 and Madame Song lived there until her death in 1981.
Surrounding the main house, is a lovely garden which is elegantly laid out with rock gardens and ponds. Whispy willow trees, pines, cypresses, and varieties of different kinds of flowers set the scene here. It is so tranquil and peaceful here in the garden. There are several exhibition halls throughout the main building that displays memorabilia of the lady who once resided here. Gives you a glimpse of memorable events that took place in the life of Soong Ching Ling.
Madam Song's Residence - Song4 Qing4 ling2 Gu4 ju1
Madam Song was the second wife to Sun Yat Sen (the first president of the Republic of China). This museum used to be her home, until it was turned into a museum. The admission is Y10 and it is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 9:00 to 16:30.

Soong Ching-Ling's Mansion
Lesser known than the more famous Prince Gong's mansion, Soong Ching-Ling's mansion is a wonderful, serene abode in central Beijing. It features many lovely architectural pieces, such as featured in the photos here. There's also an exhibit, detailing the biographical history of Soong Ching-Ling, the wife of Sun Yat-sen (first president of the Republic of China).
- Historical Travel
Song Quingling [1893-1981] was the widow of Dr Sun Yat-sen and she is known as the mother of the nation. She left the Nationalist party of her brother in law, Chang Kai-shek to join the rival party led by Mao. She became vice-president of the republic in 1949 and was given this beautiful villa on the banks of Lake Houhai. The villa is now packed with photos and objects tracing her life.
Song Qingling's Former Residence
Visiting the former residence of Sun Yat Sen's wife is both educational and peaceful. The grounds and house are very quiet and the exhibit of her life including her 1950's car gives you some insight into the life of Song Qingling. We visited it as part of a walk around the Shicha lake area and it was the one we liked the best. Entry is 20 Yuan.

Topic: Idle Conquest / Try conquest the world w/o using DK or resetting.
This is the day when Touria is going to be conquered!
After 124 days into this challenge, the grey isles have been conquered. Let's celebrate this with a toast on Queen Catherine!
And here are the final winners of the "guess how long it'll take" round:
These people made an educated guess within the first 2 weeks of the challenge:
ken030988: 2 month
ponyflare: 68 days
dday58: 69 days (after ponyflare announced his guess first xD)
silverpheonix: 2.5 month
spud96: 4 month (after long, long calculations)
lomie: 6 month
Ciffy: 1 year
GuilhermeS123: 3 years
And the winner is spud96 who, after long, long calculations guessed the almost-exact date!
He said 4 month or 120days and it was 124 days! But there was this huge patch near the end of the challenge, which made things a little more complicated, when Catherine suddenly made all eco buildings cheaper. Likewise the military building cost skyrocketed, leaving me unable to get to 800 Castles near the end. Congrats to spud, if that patch hadnt been, it might have come out to the exact date!
Got a bit lazy posting these pictures and writing some stuff, so with delay, the challenge has ended after glorious 124 days in total.
Hope to see you next time again when somebody challenges me to some stuff. We shall see if I reset, but .. nah. It's fine as it is and at least this idle game had a start+end.
Thanks for reading, and good luck to you all out there!
For Touria we sing!
The might of Queen Catherine!
Raise the flag; embrace her strength!
The world we conquer with all of our might!

Our Lady of the Assassins
Fernando Vallejo Serpent's Tail, 144pp, £6.99
Our Lady of the Assassins
Fernando Vallejo Serpent's Tail, 144pp, £6.99
by Tim Teeman Published
Fernando, a writer, returns to his home city of MedellIn, after a 30-year absence, to discover the city subsumed by death and corruption. Fernando Vallejo's autobiographical novella is far from a quiet meditation on the nature of exile, and is by turns railing and extremely violent; a shrill, unloving portrait of a city and culture in terminal decline.
Fernando falls in love with Alexis, a young hitman who murders people in cold blood. Fernando is ghoulishly fascinated by his lover's behaviour. "I see his green eyes watching the punk. Cloudy green. Intoxicated by the uniqueness of the instant. Blam!" If we are all stars, he tells Alexis, "at the rate you're going, you're going to wipe out the heavens".
Fernando looks cynically around him as MedellIn disintegrates. He looks at the twinkling lights of houses in the slums and imagines himself as "their echo among the shadows". Even grotesque personal tragedy is underscored by Fernando's bilious outbursts on religion, social breakdown and corrupt Colombian governance. It is clear that the writer defiantly refuses to see himself akin to "the living dead" who surround him. His desperation makes this a coruscating read.

Why AUS?
American University of Sharjah (AUS) is a comprehensive, independent, non-profit, coeducational institution of higher education that fosters excellence in teaching, learning and research. Based on an American model of higher education and grounded in the culture of the Gulf region, AUS fosters a community that embraces cultural diversity and whose members are committed to the ideals of open intellectual inquiry, ethical behavior and social and civic responsibility. An engaged, productive and effective member of society, AUS educates lifelong learners who display mastery in the core competencies of their areas of specialization, and who communicate clearly, think critically and solve problems creatively.
AUS offers you the chance to experience authentic American education in the Gulf: this statement has four meanings:
- The standard of instruction is the same as that of outstanding universities in America.
- The method of classroom instruction is American in its emphasis on individual initiative, active learning and the application of knowledge.
- Student life on campus is rich with clubs, sports and cultural events.
- The curriculum is organized according to the American pattern of semesters and courses.
Academic Highlight
There are two programs available in Sharjah:
1) The Summer Intensive Arabic Language Program at the American University of Sharjah offers beginning and intermediate-level Arabic students the chance to earn six credits while living at the AUS and exploring the UAE. This 6-week, 6-credit course aims to develop elementary and advanced elementary language skills through formal classroom instruction and daily conversation practice with a native speaker. The program is offered by the Department of Arabic Language and Translation Studies (ATS), in coordination with the International Exchange Office (IXO), and includes housing on our beautiful AUS campus in Sharjah, along with weekend excursions to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Two courses are offered: Intensive Elementary Arabic I is suitable for absolute beginners or students with only a very rudimentary knowledge of the Arabic language; while Intensive Elementary Arabic II is suitable for students who have previously taken one or two courses in the Arabic language. All elementary- and advanced elementary-level Arabic students are encouraged to apply. Online placement tests will be administered upon acceptance into the program. Students will be placed into the appropriate section based on test results, plus a follow-up Skype interview.
2) Direct Enroll: International exchange students are welcome to take courses in all four AUS colleges and schools:College of Architecture, Art and Design (CAAD) - the only Architecture program outside of North America holding the prestigious NAAB accreditation
College of Arts and Science (CAS) - including, e.g., Arabic and Translation Studies, and International Studies programs
College of Engineering (CEN) - all programs ABET-accredited
School of Business and Management (SBM) - AACSB-accredited

Student Life
At AUS, we encourage our students to take any opportunity that helps them grow and develop as global citizens and actively engage with numerous other partner universities and organizations to achieve that goal. The campus has 23 sports teams (13 for males and 10 for females) and 64 student clubs (32 cultural clubs and 32 non-cultural clubs).
One of the most important features of life at AUS is its truly multicultural environment: they have close to 80 nationalities on campus! Their Office of International Exchange Programs was established to foster and enhance this very aspect.
Living in Sharjah
American University Sharjah is located in one of the seven territories that comprise the United Arab Emirates (UAE)–Sharjah–and is a perfect choice for the student who seeks a unique and traditional experience in the Emirate that is known as the culture center of the UAE. Sharjah is rich in museums, historical centers, exquisite mosques and souks (markets) that reflect centuries-old Arab architecture, history and customs. From ancient times to the modern day, Sharjah boasts a well-deserved reputation throughout the region as an important center of commerce and trade as well as art and culture.
While abroad, students continue to pay their Case tuition rather than the tuition at their new institution. In addition there are several expenses students' financial aid can potentially help to fund. These are listed in the attachments below.

Mental illness and prepping
There's a terrible stigma about mental illness in Western nations. I don't really understand it, but I suspect it's because of the truly insane means that these same nations historically treated patients with mental illness. They placed them in institutions and locked them up far away and out of sight. The cure was often worse than their illness. They actually experimented on them in barbaric ways.
Prior to this method, they were mostly taken care of by family or simply lived alone themselves. Since that can be overwhelming, it's not an option for those who are severely afflicted. They won't be able to take care of themselves, or may hinder their families, and so they might certainly die in a collapse.
Many of the homeless in the seventies and eighties were mental patients who'd been released from state institutions and told to find their way to cities for treatment. Up until then, they were placed in small quiet rural areas. This caused a migration of them into urban areas were they were untreated and indigent.
Most patients don't take their medicines regularly. It's been estimated that 70% don't regularly take their medicines.
How do medicines work? Most are taken orally, to improve the chances that people will use them. Imagine if prescription and over-the-counter medicine was injected?
A oral tablet will go to the stomach for digestion. Most are absorbed through the walls of the stomach and into the numerous arteries surrounding it. Then it passes through the filters of the kidneys and liver, for they are not naturally occurring substances in the body. Then in time, they overwhelm the kidneys and liver and build up a therapeutic level in the blood.
Since an injection avoids this process, then more of it gets into circulation and builds up faster. It's why an injection is frequently given in a medical setting to quickly treat an illness.
Because of the slowness to build up to a therapeutic level, patients won't like the slowness of the response. They'll think it's not working, and it might not be, or it might just take time, or they might have stopped taking it, and the level of the drug in their system has plummeted by liver filtration.
Since many drugs have side effects, many patients stop taking their meds. Some side effects include: lack of concentration, loss of appetite, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, sleep loss, etc. Is it any wonder that patients don't like to take their medicines?!! "Your blood pressure is just fine now, John, but of course you won't have routine erections on occasion...." Hmmmmm?
There's a very high rate of patients with mental illness not taking their medicines. It's why a family who's taking care of patients must constantly check on their compliance. No one likes this process, most of all the patient who want self-determination, so this creates combativeness.
In a collapse, a lot of patients won't have medicines. They'll run out of them, and then the symptoms of their illness will return. Mostly the new treatment will be to learn coping mechanisms to deal with their issues.
We all have issues with stress and in dealing with people and ourselves. While people often say that one in ten have mental illness, really we all have some forms of mental illness. Does that shock you? Why? All people have occasional issues that they can't handle themselves.
In a collapse, a lot of people will be shell-shocked. Do you know what that is? In WW1, the first real use of heavy artillery was utilized against ground troops. Prior wars had used cannons, but these new artillery units were far more numerous and cheaper to create and operate. The soldiers were inundated by a barrage of attacks that came suddenly and there was no real way to shield themselves, only hope for protection by living in foxholes and trenches. It was miserable.
In a collapse, most people will be barraged by severe stress. Their ability to cope will become worn and fragile. Some if not all will break at some point. Everyone has days in which they can't cope and get out of bed. If also weak from malnutrition and co-morbidity from other physical ailments, then a mental illness might be revealed.
A lot of people have mental issues, but because of living in a post-modern society, they have a life free of dealing with sourcing food, or building a shelter, or digging a well, or finding an herb. Since the stress seems insurmountable, they'll begin to form cracks in their coping strategies.
If you have a loved one in your family with mental issues, or even want to help yourself, then prepping now is a good way to respond to their or your illness.
Journaling is a great way to create an intentional dialogue with yourself. It can (and should) be read later to see what you were thinking, what your plans were, and how you thought you should cope.
Creating a community or finding one will allow people to support one another. We think we're a social media generation, but really we're isolated and thinking that Facebook friends are real friends, and then we wonder why we're so lonely. "But I have over 500 friends and tons of likes..."
Severe loneliness can cause delirium in elderly people. It can happen in anyone. It's a temporary loss of cognitive ability and a lack of awareness of where they are. Delirium can be caused by poisoning. It can be caused by malnutrition. It can be caused by stress and isolation.
Many people who are severely stressed out will commit impulsive acts to react to their stress. These can be violent to themselves or others. They're called acts of passion, which is bizarre since they may lead to murder their loved ones and friends.
It is true, a lot of mentally ill people will die in a collapse. It's also true that many will not, for in history many people labeled by it were actually among the intelligentsia and the most skilled members of the community. Some sociopathic members of society were actually leaders. They still are today.
If you have mental illness, it would be better to think of it merely as an "illness" plain and simple. You don't feel lesser because you have a sprain. You wrap it up, take pain medication, and exercise it to remove soreness, then strength it so it doesn't happen as often or find ways to prevent it happening.
Do you know what entropy is? It's a physical law that things move from order to disorder. We see disorder all around us, for that is natural for it to occur.
If you're a prepper, then a potential issue is paranoia. We can begin to overact by needlessly spending time, talent, and treasure to purchase one supply over others. Buying a reasonable amount of food to feed our family means rotating it. Otherwise it will rot since it can't be preserved well for long periods of time. The ones that can last a long time usually don't taste good or have good nutritional value or enough calories. We can buy an arsenal to fight the invaders even though it's more helpful to buy some for protection and hunting, and allocate more surplus in seeds and gardening supplies.
If you ever feel overly concerned with one area, then chances are you've developed bad coping strategies. In a collapse you need a calm cool head to respond. No one all tense and hyped up will be helpful in wartime or peacetime post-collapse.

This is an audio recording of a presentation shared by Dr. Wesley Fryer on March 12, 2014, at Church of the Resurrection in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The presentation explored what "digital footprints" are, why it's important for parents and grandparents to have regular conversations with young people about their digital footprints, how many misconceptions abound concerning teen use of social media, and what we can do to manage our digital footprints constructively. (Note: Near the conclusion of the presentation, Wes inaccurately identified the name of the final video remix as "Come on Eileen" instead of "Video Killed the Radio Star.")

2006 Honda Ridgeline Q&A
2006 Honda Ridgeline Question: When should timing belt be replaced?
During routine maintenance (67,585 miles) of 2006 Ridgeline, Honda dealer recommeded replacing the timing belt. It seemed they were basing their recommendation on mileage. No problems with the Ridgeline, runs beautifully, very little off-roading, mostly town and highway driving. How much should replacement of timing belt cost? - wunder321
Answer 1
Honda suggests 7 years or 105,000 miles, whichever comes first on your Ridgeline. It seems to me that 5 years and 68,000 miles is premature. The replacement of that timing belt, along with replacing the drive belts and the water pump should package up at around $895, give or take $100 depending on where you are. Check around - many dealers even have specials for savings off of their package pricing. Check with their web sites... I know I did at my old Honda dealer- I gave customers $100 that price through our web page. Good luck! - DaveJHM

Are Dividend Investors Stock Pickers?
In order to minimize the risk of decreases in my dividend income, I have established several controls. Today I will discuss my views on diversification.
I like to keep a diversified portfolio of at least 30 dividend stocks. These stocks should be representative of several industries, in order to avoid weakness particular to specific sectors such as financials for example. The dividend aristocrats' index is a good place to start looking for income investments because it is more industry diversified. By keeping at least 30 stocks my portfolio will be more likely than not to show returns similar to what the market would return. Just because I am a dividend investor does not mean that I don't want to have any capital gains however. Quite on the contrary, dividend yields between 2% and 4% are sustainable if coupled with dividend growth potential. Thus I would expect prices to increase in order to maintain the current yield low and prevent most investors from realizing that yield on cost would be higher in the future.
Anyone who believes that a concentrated portfolio of 10- 15 stocks is the way to beat the market and has some success with it is probably playing with chance. Such a portfolio might return more than the averages initially, but sooner or later odds are that returns would get closer to index returns. Another problem with concentrated portfolios is the variability in total returns, relative to a portfolio of over 30 stocks. If all your stocks yielded 4% and you have one dividend eliminator and no increases, your dividend income would fall by 6.67% for the concentrated portfolio and 3.33% for the more diversified one. Thus, you would need portfolio dividend growth of 7.1% just to return to the same income level as before the dividend cut, leaving little room for keeping up with inflation. With a more diversified portfolio on the other hand you only need a 3.40% increase.
The problem with a more diversified portfolio is keeping track of more stocks. If one could easily learn everything about 10 – 15 stocks, then learning about 30+ stocks would probably take twice as much time. The solution is that most quality dividend stocks are characterized by strong competitive advantages, which are prevalent for many years if not decades. While keeping abreast of all developments is important, most of these developments would not have a material impact on the company in the long term. Examples include quarterly earnings and most news about companies. Thus, once you learn about particular companies, you could then spend more time learning about other stocks.
Another problem with a more diversified portfolio is that sometimes it is difficult to find thirty quality dividend stocks which are all trading at attractive valuations. Over the past two years this has not been a problem however, because of the bear market we have been experiencing. In retrospect however, building a quality dividend portfolio does take time. Thus, by starting small and initiating a position in as many attractively valued stocks as possible by dollar cost averaging your way into the position over time and looking for beaten down stocks, one could build a diversified portfolio consisting of over 30 stocks easily. I currently own 38 dividend stocks, and I am planning on expanding this number over time. In future articles I would be specifically addressing my portfolio.
Some of the greatest dividend stocks out there which are perfect building blocks for a dividend portfolio include:
Abbott (ABT) manufactures and sells health care products worldwide. The company operates through four segments: Pharmaceutical Products, Diagnostic Products, Nutritional Products and Vascular Products. Abbott Laboratories has increased dividends for 38 years in a row. The stock yields 3.40%. The yield on cost on stock purchased at the end of 1989 is 37%. (analysis)
Clorox (CLX) engages in the production, marketing, and sales of consumer products in the United States and internationally. The company operates through four segments: Cleaning, Lifestyle, Household, and International. Clorox has paid uninterrupted dividends on its common stock since it was spun out of Procter and Gamble (PG) in 1968 and increased payments to common shareholders every year for 32 years. The stock yields 3.10%.The yield on cost on stock purchased at the end of 1989 is 19%. (analysis)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) operates as an integrated energy company worldwide. The company is a dividend achiever, which has consistently boosted dividends for 22 consecutive years. The stock yields 3.50%. The yield on cost on stock purchased at the end of 1989 is 17%.(analysis)
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) engages in the research and development, manufacture, and sale of various products in the health care field worldwide. The company operates through three segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical, Medical Devices and Diagnostics. Johnson & Johnson has consistently increased dividends for 46 years in a row. The stock yields 3.40%. The yield on cost on stock purchased at the end of 1989 is 29.10%. (analysis)
PepsiCo (PEP) manufactures, markets, and sells various snacks, carbonated and non-carbonated beverages, and foods worldwide. PepsiCo has been raising dividends for 38 consecutive years. The stock yields 2.80%. The yield on cost on stock purchased at the end of 1989 is 16.90%.(analysis)
These high yields on cost are not incidental. Most of the original Dividend Aristocrats from 1989 are generating substantial yields on cost even after they stopped raising distributions consistently.
Full Disclosure: Long ABT, CLX, CVX, JNJ, PEP

Do you have DRIPs or do you use an online discount broker or a combination of both to maintain your portfolio? If you use a broker, can you recommend it?ReplyDelete
I use Zecco. You get 10 free trades/month if your account balance is over $25K or you made more than 25 trades the previous month. Of course when I started with them, investors received 10 free trades for balances over $2500.ReplyDelete
Hi, I was just about to ask which broker you use! I also have a Zecco account, but have no where near the 25K for free trades... so I'm hit with $4.50 a trade. I also have Sharebuilder account which costs $4 a trade.ReplyDelete
I'd like to get more into dividend investing. Based on your thoughts of needing at least 30 dividend stocks, what's the best way to build up a portfolio with balancing purchasing costs and the fact that I only have around $150 a month to devote to purchases? Do I just buy a few shares of a stock in month 1, another stock in month 2, another in 3, etc?
If I take $100 and buy JNJ today at 63.65... I'll walk with 1.5 shares after the $4 commission!
Is there a better way to approach this? Can you please point me in in the right direction?
Thanks so much!
You don't want to pay a 4% commission on your investments.ReplyDelete
Actually sogotrade has 100 free stock trades for one month after you open a new brokerage account with them. You could simply save up a few thousand and then open an account there and purchase 30 stocks.
Sharebuilder is offering 5 free trades: http://www.bargaineering.com/articles/five-free-sharebuilder-trades-promotion-code-hvc09ny.html
This could help I guess ;-)
But as soon as you save up $25K i think it would be worth it to switch to Zecco...

The Dead Weather's two latest tracks "Buzzkill(er)" and "It's Just Too Bad" will be available for purchase digitally worldwide on November 4th. Listen to a full stream of "Buzzkill(er)" now and be sure to purchase both songs next Tuesday.
Volume One (1917-27) chronicled Paramount's improbable rise from also-ran to jazz-blues juggernaut, launching the recording careers of giants like King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Alberta Hunter, Blind Blake, Ethel Waters, Ma Rainey, Papa Charlie Jackson, Big Bill Broonzy, and Fats Waller.
But just as it seemed Paramount might be losing steam, it began a second act that threatened to dwarf its first. This astonishing second act is the subject of The Rise & Fall of Paramount, Volume Two (1928-32), the final chapter in our commemoration of America's greatest record label.
In its final 5 year push from 1928-32, Paramount embarked on a furious run for the ages, birthing the entire genre of Mississippi Delta blues recordings and issuing some of the most coveted records in the history of wax - a staggering playlist including Skip James, Charley Patton, Son House, Tommy Johnson, Willie Brown, King Solomon Hill, Tampa Red, Lottie Kimbrough, Rube Lacy, Meade Lux Lewis, Buddy Boy Hawkins, Jaydee Short, George "Bullet" Williams, Cow Cow Davenport, Clifford Gibson, Ishman Bracey, Louise Johnson, Geeshie Wiley & Elvie Thomas, The Mississippi Sheiks. and hundreds of other artists.
Paramount simply killed. But more than that, it changed how this country thought of itself. It was the first enterprise of any kind to capture what America really sounded like in the 1920s and '30s - on its street corners, at its fish fries and country suppers, in its nightclubs and dance halls and showtents. In the process, it was profit-minded Paramount - not a preservationist body like the Library of Congress - that inadvertently created the most significant repository of this young nation's greatest art form.
Six LPs, 800 digital tracks, two definitive large-format books. All housed in a polished aluminum case evoking the era's high art deco stylings and America's own Machine Age take on modernist design.
A joint release by Third Man and Revenant, co-produced by leading Paramount scholar Alex van der Tuuk, with all Paramount masters issued under license agreement with GHB Jazz Foundation. The Rise & Fall of Paramount, Volume Two (1928-32) is available for pre-order beginning TODAY. Learn more about the set, and pre-order your copy HERE.
And, if you're in the New Haven area, make sure to spend your evening tonight with Jack White, Greil Marcus, Dean and Scott Blackwood, Adia Victoria, and Daphne Brooks, exploring the history of Paramount Records. 7pm at the Battell Chapel at Yale University.
Jack is set to embark on his November UK and European tour beginning next week on November 7th in Istanbul. Although it is impossible to replace Ikey, the incredibly talented Dean Fertita (The Dead Weather, Queens of the Stone Age) will be joining the band to play piano and keyboard for all of Jack's currently announced tour dates.
Jack is also pleased to announce that Lucius will be joining him on the bill as support for his November shows starting with Vienna on November 11th. Umut Adan will be supporting Jack in Istanbul. For a complete list of tour dates and tickets, visit the tour page.
Our Nashville storefront will be opening at 11am on Friday, October 31st. We apologize for any inconvenience, and will see you at 11.
The GHB Jazz Foundation, Third Man Records, and Revenant Records are proud to announce their new licensing arrangement regarding master recordings originally released on the Paramount Records label, one of the most important record labels in American history.
Paramount, which in the 1920s and 30s released 78 rpm records featuring iconic American artists like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Jelly Roll Morton, Charley Patton, Ma Rainey and King Oliver, has seen its astonishing recorded legacy highlighted in a number of recent projects, including Third Man-Revenant's "The Rise & Fall of Paramount Records" Volumes One and Two, and Third Man's LP-only releases of Charley Patton's and the Mississippi Sheiks' early recordings.
The new licensing arrangement, which does not include sales in CD format or digital downloads (rights to which are retained by the GHB foundation), ensures that Paramount's rich musical legacy can continue to be shared with new generations of listeners.
Founded in 1987 by George H. Buck Jr. (1928-2013), the GHB Jazz Foundation aims to celebrate and preserve these authentic styles of American music.

Critical Read
What: "Engaging Citizens in Co-Creation in Public Services: Lessons Learned and Best Practices" by Satish Nambisan and Priya Nambisan, is part of the Collaborating Across Boundaries Series from the IBM Center for the Business of Government.
Why: Like customers in the private sector, members of the public can provide valuable feedback on government initiatives. The report identifies roles -- explorer, ideator, designer and diffuser -- that individuals can play in government problem-solving. Those roles are due at least in part to new information technologies.
Public input can be facilitated through online competitions, mobile apps, open-source databases and online communities such as Facebook and Twitter. The report recommends increasing data transparency in high-impact problem areas, encouraging problem identification in online communities and framing problems in a comprehensive way for the general public.
Verbatim: "With the advent of information technologies including social media, mobile computing, and data analytics, the nature and scope of citizen involvement in problem-solving and public service innovation are changing. Such technologies have the potential to redefine relationships and connections among citizens and between citizens and their governments, enable access to and analysis of public data in ways that will lead to innovative solutions, and offer new platforms to develop and host innovative services."

Tagged: financial regulatory reform
Lobbying the financial reform act
Intense lobbying is under way over the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory reform act, with federal agencies needing to fill in the details of at least 243 financial rules and conduct 67 studies before implementing the most sweeping such law since the 1930s. Political science Professor Graham Wilson, author of "Business and Politics," says citizens should be concerned that the interest-group system is massively biased towards representing business interests.
"The regulations that give shape to laws are always crucial. In this case, the massive complexity and detail involved makes the regulations all the more important — and in this process the voices for consumer and taxpayer interests will be few in number compared with those for the financial industry."
Contact Graham Wilson, 617-353-2540, firstname.lastname@example.com
The consumer "watchdog" fight
A battle is brewing over who President Obama should nominate as the new consumer "watchdog" under the new financial regulatory reform law after he signs it. Consumer advocates and activist groups are pressing him to tap outspoken Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren, who now chairs the congressional panel overseeing the federal bailout of the nation's banks. Others feel she may not be able to get confirmed by the Senate. BU Law Professor Cornelius Hurley, director of the Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law and a former counsel to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, notes that the new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection will be a massive managerial undertaking with a $500 million budget and hundreds of employees.
"Its head should be someone who, in addition to sound policy instincts, has a proven record of managerial accomplishment. A polarizing choice will dim the chances of the bureau carrying out its mission effectively."
Contact Cornelius Hurley, 617-353-5427, email@example.com
Financial regulatory reform passed
With the Senate finally passing the complex financial regulatory reform law and sending it to President Obama for his signature, the work now turns to the hundreds of regulations and dozens of studies which must be completed to implement the most sweeping financial reform since the Great Depression. But while regulators work on all of that, says Political science Professor Graham Wilson, others will be watching how it all plays out politically for Obama and his embattled Democrats.
"Combined with health care and the stimulus, this gives Obama a notable legislative record. But unless he and the Democrats can do a better job of explaining to the American people what their plan is for economic recovery, this record won't be noticed outside the Beltway."
Contact Graham Wilson, 617-353-2540, email@example.com
To bank regulator stepping down
In a surprise announcement, Comptroller of the Currency John Dugan (r.) says he will step down next month as the top U.S. bank regulator. Appointed by President George Bush, Dugan was instrumental in shaping the "stress tests" for the largest financial institutions, but often sparred with FDIC Chairwoman Sheila Bair about consumer matters. Former Federal Reserve Bank examiner Mark Williams, who teaches finance at the School of Management, say choosing Dugan's successor is an opportunity for the Obama administration to send a signal that our banks will be held to a higher accountability and scrutiny.
"It is important to not repeat the error of the past and appoint a former lobbyist, as was Dugan, who is banker friendly. As an important industry watchdog, the head of the OCC needs to set the tone that banks will be regulated — not coddled."
Contact Mark Williams, 617-358-2789, email@example.com
The weak link in bank reform
The financial regulatory reform legislation likely to be sent soon to President Obama calls for the biggest banks and hedge funds to put up some $20 billion in fees to pay the costs of additional oversight by regulators. But even that won't help regulators don't quickly upgrade the training and standards of rank-and-file examiners, says Mark Williams, a former Fed examiner who now teaches finance in the School of Management. In a Boston Globe op-ed, Williams — author of "Uncontrolled Risk" about the fall of Lehman Brothers — says if bank examiner performance over the last decade is an indicator, oversight may prove grossly inadequate unless the regulators become as financial sophisticated as those they're supposed to regulate.
"Our entire financial system is dependent on strengthening regulator oversight and closing this sophistication gap."
Contact Mark Williams 617-358-2789, firstname.lastname@example.com
Brown gets reform bill changed
By threatening to withhold his vote for the final compromise, Massachusetts GOP U.S. Senator Scott Brown (l.) got the Democratic negotiators on the financial regulatory reform bill to delete a $19 billion fee on large financial institutions to cover costs of implementing the new law. Law Professor Cornelius Hurley, director of the Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law and a former counsel to the Fed Board of Governors, says the Dems missed the boat by labeling the charge a "tax," making it vulnerable to read-meat ideological attacks.
"Pure and simple, their charge should be labeled for what it is — a return of the subsidy that taxpayers bestow on the too-big-to-fail banks every day by pledging to their creditors and depositors that if the big banks go bust we collectively will pick up the tab. Senator Brown would have a difficult time refuting this framing of the discussion."
Contact Cornelius Hurley, 617-353-5427, firstname.lastname@example.com
Wall Street reform bill threatened
The death of U.S. Senator Robert Byrd (r.) is threatening to delay passage of the sweeping Wall Street regulatory reform legislation until mid-July after it had been on track for House and Senate votes this week. Law Professor Cornelius Hurley, a former counsel to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and now director of the Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law, says the proposed legislation has been so weakened in compromise efforts to garner enough votes to pass it in the Senate that it might be worth starting over.
"Its demise would have at least two significant benefits: first, it would allow the next Congress to develop a more robust bill, particularly with respect to systemic risk; and, second, it would enable global regulators to press the 'reset button' on international harmonization efforts, a vision apparently abandoned by this Congress and this Administration."
Contact Cornelius Hurley, 617-353-5427, email@example.com
Financial regulatory bill agreed on
House and Senate conferees finally worked out a compromise bill aimed at reshaping financial regulations to avoid another Crash of '08, with a final vote set for next week and President Obama expected to sign it by July 4th. As expected: many winners and losers. One controversial provision gives the SEC authority to require stockbrokers to protect their clients' interest when recommending investments, potentially subjecting brokers to the same fiduciary duty as financial advisers. Law Professor Tamar Frankel, author of "Trust and Honesty: America's Business Culture at a Crossroad" and authority on securities law, says it's about time.
"It offers a chance and a challenge for the SEC to become the leader that it used to be from the 1940s until about 1980. It is a chance to bring about a far more reliable financial system and to refocus on productivity rather than betting."
Contact Tamar Frankel, 617-353-3773, email@example.com
Deadline for financial regulatory reform
Congress is down to its self-imposed deadline to come up with a financial regulatory reform bill, leaving some of the most controversial provisions — like how to deal with the trading of derivatives — to the final hours. Law Professor Cornelius Hurley, director of the Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law and a former counsel to the Fed Board of Governors, says that a Congress that couldn't bring itself to enact meaningful reform legislation during the height of the financial crisis now seems to be panicking to pass what he sees as deeply flawed bill.
"Having lost the moment to make bold changes, the legislative process has become all about the November elections and very little about sound public policy. Congress may well meet today's deadline, but we won't be the better for it."
Contact Cornelius Hurley, 617-353-5427, firstname.lastname@example.com
Financial regulatory reform showdown
House and Senate conferees hope to wrap up this week the final version of financial regulatory reform legislation to send to President Obama, with chairmen Barney Frank and Chris Dodd delicately trying to compromises without losing votes for the overall package. What do about the trading of derivatives – the complex financial packages which helped sink the economy – remains up in the air. Law Professor Cornelius Hurley, director of the Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law and a former counsel to the Fed Board of Governors, says the proposal currently in the Senate version but objected to by both the House negotiators and the White House, wouldn't be the best for taxpayers fearing another bailout but would be better than nothing.
"If derivatives trading is such a socially useful and profitable activity ($23 billion in revenue among the five banks that dominate the market) why can't it exist outside of bank holding companies? The answer to the question is that it could exist in a different, nonbank setting, but, without the backing of the taxpayers, the activity would have to shed its casino-like features."

The Ajax-Nash was only in production for two years, 1925 and 1926. Shown in the vintage advertising below is a 1925 or 1926 Ajax-Nash 4 door sedan. The Ajax-Nash had disc wheels with the spare tire carried at the rear. Features include a slightly turned down roof at the front, drum head lights and a single piece windshield. Three models were built, a 4 door sedan, 4 door touring and a 2 door sedan. All models sold for about $1,000.00.
1925-1926 Ajax Six - Ajax Motors Co. Racine, Wisconsin Advertising
Due to the fact that the name was different, some Ajax-Nash customer's were led to believe that the Ajax Six was not a Nash car. The truth was that the Ajax was just as much a Nash model as the Nash Special Six and the Advanced Six. With the Ajax the standards of manufacture were identical except it was a smaller car. However, the motoring public did not accept the Ajax, so Nash took some extreme steps.
Ajax-Nash features refined motor with 7 bearing crankshaft, 25% more power, Seats upholstery of genuine chase velmo mohair velvet, Five disc wheels, new winged radiator cap, electric clock and motor heat control by thermostatic water regulation.
1926 Nash Advanced Six 4 Door Sedan Advertising
The Ajax-Nash was discontinued during the 1926 production year after 22,000 units were produced. Charles W. Nash ordered that the production continue but renamed as the Nash Six. Nash hub caps, emblems and radiator shells were trucked to the Racine Ajax factory where all unshipped Ajax brand cars were converted Nash automobiles. The hub caps, emblems etc as a kit were sent to dealers to retrofit all unsold cars on their lots. These kits were also available at no charge to consumers who bought Ajax cars.
