Mark Z. Barabak and Joe Matthews of the Los Angeles Times go deep inside the Schwarzenegger camp and write how the organization and strategy would likely change if the election is postponed until March. LINK
"In interviews, campaign aides and others familiar with the Schwarzenegger operation who spoke on condition that they not be identified described a bureaucratic organization, riven with disputes and slow to make strategic decisions."
"Aides have long predicted a certain amount of tension would occur, given the sudden start of Schwarzenegger's candidacy and the candidate's desire to include nonpolitical advisers in the campaign."
And it's not only Gray Davis who gets high-profile allies to come out and endorse him. The Boston Globe 's Frank Phillips and Rick Klein report that Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney may head to California to lend his star power to fellow Mike Murphy client Schwarzenegger. LINK
Ronald Reagan's letters:
Yes, folks, you still have two days to run out (if you haven't hoarded everything in your local Safeway already), grab some orange juice and champagne, and settle in for this Sunday's exclusive interview with former First Lady Nancy Reagan on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
George shared some thoughts about the interview with the Note as the storm prepared to barrel down on the Washington area.
The Note: Any surprises?
Stephanopoulos: The sheer volume. The man must have been writing for hours every day to produce these kinds of letters.
We always knew he was a great talker, I never realized what a wonderful writer he was. And as George Shultz says in the forward, you can't be a good writer without being a good thinker.
The clarity of thought, the consistency of thought, his intelligence and humor, just shine through.
The Note: How is Mrs. Reagan?
Stephanopoulos: Mrs. Reagan looked great. She looked terrific. We talked on- and off-camera, and despite the fact that she is caring for him full-time, she is fully engaged and on top of a lot of different issues, she tries to get out as much as she can. Obviously this was a labor of love for her because I think she really felt it would show people a side of Ronald Reagan they didn't expect.
We have been working with them for several months, they've been discovering more and more letters as we go along. They think eventually the collection will be around 10,000, if not more.
The Note: Did it inspire you to write more letters?
Stephanopoulos: It did inspire me to write more letters. As I was in California, it was my daughter's first birthday. I read this wonderful letter Ronald Reagan had written Patty when she was 21-months old. I could always get her another toy, another dress, but I thought if I write her a letter on her first birthday, she'll always have that.
Bush Adminstration strategy/personality:
With the President facing a steel tariff decision soon, the Washington Post's Mike Allen and Jonathan Weisman get on the front page with what Karl Rove would call (under different circumstances...) a FANTASTIC story about the history and results of the President's anti-free trade posture. LINK
Our only quibble with this must-read piece (which includes the rarest of 43-era tick-tocking of Administration deliberations!) is that the phrase "legacy costs" doesn't appear anywhere in the whole thing.
Politics: The Washington Post 's Al Kamen assigned former Perot aide Russ Verney to try to get Mr. Perot to comment on the state of affairs in America.
Verney came up empty, but who knew he was "now southwestern regional director of Larry Klayman's Washington Legal Foundation"!!
Even the Palm was a desert Thursday. And Bob Stevenson is our weather-braving hero. LINK
In a flag flap sure to continue … The Daytona Beach Journal reports Gov. Jeb Bush "left open the possibility Thursday that Florida could offer a license tag that includes the Confederate battle flag." LINK
One Michael R. Bloomberg is the 36th-richest American. LINK (Ten slots ahead of one Henry Ross Perot!)

Neal Boortz asserted that "the single most dangerous entity, group of people in this country right now are the teachers unions," adding that "[t]hey do more damage to this country than all the drug pushers together. ... If I had a button right now, two buttons -- push this button and it gets rid of all the drug dealers; push this button, it gets rid of the teachers unions -- I'm getting rid of the teachers unions."
In a report on Sen. John McCain's economic speech, NBC's Kelly O'Donnell aired a clip of McCain saying of Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama: "They're going to raise your taxes by thousands of dollars a year." However, O'Donnell did not note that Clinton and Obama have proposed tax cuts for middle- and low-income Americans.
On MSNBC Live, Mika Brzezinski said that Sen. John McCain "wants to eliminate the federal gas tax -- that's about 20 percent of the cost." Later, Monica Novotny said McCain is "proposing suspending the federal gas tax for the summer, potentially cutting prices by nearly 20 percent." In fact, the federal gas tax -- 18.4 cents per gallon -- comprises only 5.4 percent of the current average cost of regular gasoline.
A post on The Washington Post's political blog, The Trail, stated that John McCain "once again made clear his opposition to broad federal intervention or bailouts." But the post, by Dan Balz, did not note that McCain reportedly agreed with the Federal Reserve's decision to extend a $30 billion loan to facilitate JP Morgan Chase's acquisition of Bear Stearns.
On Fox News' Your World, Monica Crowley asserted that "liberals like the Clintons" argue "against tax cuts" and to "let the government have more of your money." In fact, Sen. Hillary Clinton's website says that she would "[l]ower taxes for middle class families by: extending the middle class tax cuts ... offering new tax cuts for healthcare, college and retirement, and expanding the EITC [earned income tax credit] and the child care tax credit."
On Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski and Carly Fiorina, an economic adviser to Sen. John McCain, suggested that McCain acknowledged his weakness on economic issues only once. But the Boston Globe has reported that "on numerous occasions over the course of the campaign, McCain has volunteered that he is unsatisfied with his lack of knowledge about aspects of economics."
A CBS Evening News report on the national debt, the current level of which both anchor Katie Couric and correspondent Anthony Mason described as "mind-numbing," failed to quote a single Democrat and did not point out the extent to which deficit spending by Republican-led Congresses has contributed to the debt.
Responding to an ad by John McCain's campaign, which asserts that in response to "home foreclosures mounting, markets teetering," "[Hillary] Clinton and Barack Obama just said they'd solve the problem by raising your taxes -- more money out of your pocket," Joe Scarborough said the ad would "probably work." But Scarborough didn't note that the ad's central claim is false: Neither Clinton nor Obama has asserted that she or he would respond to "home foreclosures rising" by raising taxes.
On Fox News' The Live Desk, Martha MacCallum, discussing with correspondent Major Garrett a report about Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, Maggie Williams, stated that Williams "sat on the board of one of the nation's once-largest and now bankrupt mortgage lenders, Delta Financial." However, neither Garrett nor MacCallum mentioned Sen. John McCain's reported ties to the mortgage industry.
A March 30 New York Times article about the debate over government aid for homeowners facing foreclosure contrasted "Democrats emboldened by the Federal Reserve's intervention in the collapse of Bear Stearns [who] are demanding help for 'everyday Americans,' " with "Republicans including Senator John McCain, the party's presumptive nominee, [who] are urging restraint, reluctant to commit taxpayer funds to what they say is simply a bailout." The article did not mention that McCain reportedly agreed with the Fed's decision to step in to avert the collapse of the investment bank Bear Stearns.
In a blog post, ABC's Jake Tapper wrote, "Campaigning in Indiana on Friday, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, claimed to have been a 16-year vocal opponent of NAFTA." But in the very comments Tapper cited, Clinton did not assert that she had "been a 16-year vocal opponent of NAFTA"; rather, she said she "spoke out" against NAFTA starting in 1992.
CNN's Suzanne Malveaux and an article in the Los Angeles Times both uncritically quoted Sen. John McCain's statement regarding possible responses to the home mortgage crisis: "What is not necessary is a multibillion-dollar bailout for big banks and speculators, as Senators Clinton and Obama have proposed." In fact, neither Clinton nor Obama has proposed "a multibillion-dollar bailout" for "speculators." Moreover, neither Malveaux nor the Times noted that McCain recently expressed support for the Federal Reserve's decision to extend a $30 billion line of credit to facilitate the acquisition of the near-bankrupt investment bank Bear Stearns by JP Morgan Chase.
The Washington Post and The New York Times reported that Sen. John McCain, in the words of Times reporters Michael Powell and Jeff Zeleny, "argued this week against a vigorous federal intervention to address the [housing] crisis, saying Washington should not bail out banks and homeowners who in his view had knowingly taken on risky mortgages." However, neither article noted that McCain reportedly expressed support for the Federal Reserve's decision to extend a $30 billion line of credit to facilitate the acquisition of Bear Stearns by JP Morgan Chase.
In a report on congressional action in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis, National Public Radio's Brian Naylor uncritically reported McCain's statement that it's not the government's job to "bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they are big banks or small borrowers." Naylor did not note that McCain reportedly agreed with the Federal Reserve's decision to extend a $30 billion line of credit to facilitate the acquisition of Bear Stearns by JP Morgan Chase.

So I was recently asked to do a photo booth for the Zombie Prom. Honestly, when it first came up, I kept thinking, "Who the heck would use a prop photo booth at a Zombie Prom. They are already decked out!" However upon thinking on it longer, I have come up with an idea that will bring the Zombies to me! I'll post more as I create it but seriously, I'm so excited to get the opportunity to CREATE!

With so many changes going on with the studio and soon this site, I thought I'd leave an oldie up. I was never good with the selfie but was put to a challenge to photograph myself. This was hard for me because I don't like my own photo being taken. I'm extremely critical of myself, but with much effort and swallowing all fear I took one. The photo itself is grainy and blurry (again, was never that great at selfie's) but despite it's flaws, it's me.

Brit Gold by Burberry
A great addition to the Brit family. I like the original well enough and love Brit Red with the rhubarb topnote. Gold is somewhere in between. It has the cool feel of Brit, so cool I almost detect anise, but I guess it might just be cool florals. Like the rest of the Burberry line, it has a distinctly "perfumey" quality, and that implies a certain coolness.

This apartment complex is seriously the worst one i have had the displeasure of living in. From the PAPER-THIN WALLS and CEILINGS, to the LACK of PARKING...Or the "Yeah, what ever!" additude of the managment...or the not so aperant Segregation based on your sterotype.
With corners cut, well, in every corner of the construction, and poor pest control-I can only talk positive about the rent. For the Clarkston area the price isn't all that bad...but even that was too good to be true, they just sent me a notice of a rent increase.
I have the worst neighbors. I have filed countless unanswered complaints...as matter of fact, I have dropped another one off with my rent today. I work 2 jobs and go to school full time...and sleep is precious. I cannot wait to move so i can enjoy a full nights rest.
Two final notes...if you decide to move here; good luck with moving in your furniture. Ecspecially if you are on the 3rd floor. And I hope you enjoy paying WAY too much for some basement run cable company out of New Jersey...NO COMCAST, CHARTER, WOW, or ATT....Basic cable(with like no channels) internet will set you back 80-ish/month. only an average of >700kbps bandwidth.
AMEN!!! I see nothing has changed since our nightmare in 2004! This complex is the 'Hole of Clarkston'
Yeah, this place is awful. I am surprised you didn't mention the horrid stench there though. I still don't understand why an apartment complex needs horse stables.

I click the start menu (I guess thats what its called?) and only the icons will appear. Windows that I have closed or no longer looking at stay on top of everything else, and some windows I cannot see anything. Should I install drivers for my graphics card or will that not clear up my problem?

Some recent topics and conversations I've read and participated in on the forums and in some PMs has gotten me thinking. Thinking about thinking, or rather, expressing thoughts on the internet. Particularly when it comes to negative commentary and critique. It's easy to be a pessimistic jerk that rains on the parades of others, and I know I've fallen into that trap on more than one occasion; something I'm not proud of, and sometimes it can be difficult to apologize for. It's a concept that's true everywhere on the internet where discussion and commentary are allowed, when it comes to discussion about video games, and Giant Bomb's forums more specifically, I've noticed it manifest in some ways that I'd hope could improve. I mean, how often have we seen so-called arguments that could be boiled down to this age-old gem?
I know I've been guilty of this. I've even been called out on it before. I was one of those jackasses that was dismissive toward Divekick (It's a flash game, it's simplistic, etc.) for...really no reason at all. For the record, I've actually tried Divekick since being called out, and while I can't say that it entralled me to the point that I'd buy it myself, I can understand why other people enjoy it. More importantly, I don't be a dick about it when it comes to other people discussing what they like about it.
That said, I can still be a dick, and it's something I've really needed to work on for a long while now. I've gotten better about watching what I say, though I still slip up. So believe me when I say that nothing I'm saying here comes from a high-horse position of any sort. I need to work on this just as much as anyone else.
Which leads me back to the subject of that image macro. Some of you reading this are probably familiar with my tastes concerning certain games, and they don't really tend to be the most popular choices among the staff, or even the community at large. The internet is such that, if I have an opinion on a game, particularly a positive one, that runs counter to the supposed majority, then my taste is judged as bad and my opinion is null, just out of general principle. Even using the avatar I do can make me a target; I don't know how many times I've seen people's opinions derided simply because they have anime-themed avatars, and it's a specific phenomenon I don't believe I've ever seen in any other community I've frequented, past or present.
It's OK to disagree on things; no rational person is going to, well, disagree on that. Opinions differ, and even when one side is an obvious majority, that doesn't mean that the other side's views should be derided or considered invalid. On the other hand, the minority shouldn't use that minority status as fuel for a persecution complex. These aren't things that I need to say, but when discussing things on the internet, with relative anonymity and a lack of immediate physical proximity shielding us, it can be easy to shoot off a pithy comment ("This game is bad and you should feel bad!"), and somehow consider that a proper contribution to a conversation.
Expound! Expand! Extrapolate!
I realize that no matter what I say here, it'll probably fall on a lot of deaf ears, and who the heck am I to recommend how others interact on the internet? But if there's one thing that I could recommend, one improvement to discourse that I could request, it would be this: Please back up your arguments, whether they be positive or negative. There are a lot of forum threads that pop up asking questions like, "What's the most disappointing game you've ever played?" or "Name a game you like that other people hate," or "What's your favorite/least favorite game from Series X?" And then people just respond with simplistic answers that list the name of the game and little more. There's no conversation to be had, and when the questions are negative (i.e.: What's your least favorite/most disappointing/worst whatever?), a lot of responses just come out as empty. Someone answers with a the name of a game, or a character, or what have you, and then fails to explain why that's their answer.
Would it be to much to ask for elaboration? Not every response to a forum thread needs a doctoral thesis, but it would certainly go a long way toward helping spur conversation if more people were willing to take the time to explain why and how rather than leave people to fill in the blanks. Again, I've been guilty of the same thing; I've responded to such threads without presenting the whys, and it's something that I need to get better at. But if someone says that their favorite game of all time is The Adventures of Bayou Billy, well, I'd like to know why. Even if the reasoning is completely foreign to me, context to latch on to can help provide a better understanding of my peers here.
But more importantly, whether or not someone does provide the reason for why they like something, don't use that as a platform to belittle their sensibilities. Telling someone that they are wrong because they are wrong is...well, wrong. Being part of a supposed majority doesn't provide some innate upper hand in an argument, particularly when it comes to matters that are entirely subjective opinion. I may not like Call of Duty, but it's a better use of my time and anyone else's that would care to read what I have to say if I can present my dissenting views in a manner that is both informed and doesn't treat the person I'm responding to like they are an imbecile simply for holding a different opinion. That only makes me look like the imbecile.
Where am I going with any of this?
Good question. I wish I had a solid answer to that. It's not really my place to tell people how to act. But I can at least hope to promote some idea on how to make general discourse better. For better or worse, it's a topic of conversation that's become heavily discussed around here as of late. But this writing was partially born out of recent discussions, both on the forums and in PMs, that made me reflect on my own personal frustrations with the discourse in the forums, whether those frustrations were of my own making or not. I also understand that in all likelihood, anything I've said in this post will not change anything, and some will probably just see it as self-flagellation and little else.
But I can at least try, right? I guess the point is, there are ways that the discourse on the forums in general could be better. And if more people took a more thoughtful approach to what they say more often, tangible improvements could be made. Not every forum post has to compete to become the Citizen Kane of forum posts, but as long as the general rule of "don't be a dick" still holds, we could all benefit from putting more thought into what we have to say. And in some cases, refraining from saying anything at all. The first and easiest step that people as a whole could take is just being better about accepting the fact that not everyone shares the same tastes, and then not go looking for a fight.
It's something I want to continue improving on, and if you're aware you have the same problem, hopefully you do, too.
Also, seriously, theoretical guy above. Why is The Adventures of Bayou Billy your favorite game? I'm curious.

Thread: -Marin- - Composition 1.1
August 7th, 2014 #1
-Marin- - Composition 1.1
A while ago I was pretty active when it comes to drawing and painting but over the years university and jobs and other hobbies took over. So I decided to, again, dedicate more time to become better at art. It's been a long time but I still love it
So here are the first three of twenty master studies which I always ended after exactly one hour (so it's easier to compare later on).
1) I chose one of Rembrandt's portraits because I like how he manages to put the focus on the face through more or less subtle lines (like the coat or his hat and the "half circle"-line on his dress surrounding the face like an egg shape) and careful lighting. Also, I like the contrast between the background and the face which helps to give the face character.
2) "Springtime" by Pierre-Auguste Cot really comunicates a peaceful and carefree mood because of the strong whites in the foreground and the contrasting darker values in the background. The swing seems like a frame and gives more emphasis to the characters, while the position of the legs and arms as well as their dresses and some elements in the background (lines of the trees) all lead to their faces. There is also a balance of dark (left) and bright (right) through several smaller bright and dark elements.
3) This painting of Cupid and Psyche by Bouguereau is actually my favorite painting. It is able to capture such strong emotions through body language and facial expressions alone. The values are quite moderate, so nothing stands out in that term, but every element leads to their faces or the embrace itself. Cupid's wings form a triangle with the upper border of the image. So do his right leg, his left shoulder and Psyche's right shoulder. As their are many details in the upper half of the painting, Bouguereau balanced that out by putting in the cloth that wraps around Psyche's legs and by making the background much darker in that area. There are subtle lines in that area, leading upwards to the figures. He also made sure that both figures would not blur in with the background by putting darker elements around their bodies, especially Psyche's upper body.
To critizice myself: I noticed that I always draw in shapes too big at first and need to fix that later on (you can see that in the faces I think. I tried to get it right with the third one). Also I need to flip the canvas more because I kept forgetting it and messed up several times. More tomorrow

4) As I still have huge problems with painting faces I want to have at least one portrait in every three studies. This one I like because I have the feeling all the lines created by the shadows lead downwards, somehow adding to the unsettling mood this portrait gives me. Of course, as the painting is quite dark there needs to be a strong contrast between the background and the face itself.
5) This painting leads the eye along the face and the arm, which is pointing downwards and, together with the line in the background, forces the viewer to continue to the bright table and back to the face. The vase (?), the jacket on the table and the arm form diagonals, while the cupboard (?) in the background, the table and whatever is lying on the table cross those lines and balance everything out.
6) What I like about this painting is how, even though the body takes up a lot of space, there is far more emphasis on the man's grim face, caused by the harsh blacks surrounding it. Adding to that is the box-like thing on the ground which seems to form a center line with the head and balances the top and bottom part out. Also, his legs, right arm and back all form lines that lead to his head. I still struggle with getting the shapes right (which is very obvious in this one I think) and this time I messed up the values quite a bit.
August 9th, 2014 #3
More portraits this time with a different approach in painting them. Next time, more scenery. The values are not quite how I want them to be yet (08 is way off), but very slowly I at least feel more confident with painting the shapes.
August 10th, 2014 #4
Another three studies. Still working on the shapes, uurgh..
August 12th, 2014 #5
A bit of environment this time (because I suck at it )
August 14th, 2014 #6
I'm not really happy with these.. Messed up more than usual, urgh. But hey, all part of the learning process.
August 15th, 2014 #7
It's a good job -Marin-, I love everything especially how you establish the tone.
you have a good reading light as well, and your way of synthesizing each painting is remarkable, I have a hard time with it on my side, I tend to get overwhelmed by the details from the beginning. Just on your 16 th study the guy who's carrying jesus, his arm seem to be a little bit too long,
I will follow your work closely
the last one !

Hey Marin - nice work. Wondering who the artists are for 12 and 13?
August 17th, 2014 #9
@antomio: Thank you I on the other hand have problems with details, haha. And as I know that I try to focus on the composition here and save the detail part for longer studies.
Thanks! 12 was painted by Edwin Howland Blashfield and 13 by Michael Carson.
And here comes number 20, so my homework is finished I will continue painting master studies here and there but right now my main focus will go towards the drawing lesson.

amazing marin, how did you do in 60minite @__@ and the object mapping i think it's very good, do you use grid for help?
wonder if you add 60 minute will be 100% replica lol
August 26th, 2014 #11
very very good work. I would like to see a bit more analysis of the images as they relate to the lecture. You are very talented and are showing very quick progress with these. You are ready to move on to comp 1.2 and take one to a full on final.
My feedback, which is something I shared earlier, would be as follows. Your speed is excellent btw...
You are getting about 90 percent there with the three most important things...shapes, values and edges. are you flipping your images horizontally and vertically every minute or so to check accuracy?
Make a pass at the end where you double check the following, in this order.
a. shapes.
b. values
c. edges
At this point all I think that is needed is double checking things at the end in a quality control pass...so to speak.
Keep up the great work.

"Lambda Phi Epsilon was
founded on February 25, 1981, by principal founder Mr. Craig Ishigo
and a group of eighteen other dedicated men on the campus of the University
of California of Los Angeles. By forming Lambda Phi Epsilon as a new
Asian American fraternity, the founders hoped to set new and higher
standards of excellence for all Asian-interest organizations to follow.
The goal of the founders was to transcend the limitations to which
traditional Asian American organizations were subject. They sought
to draw the membership equally from the many diverse segments of the
Asian American community. Their vision was that the members would
eventually become the leaders of their respective communities and
bridge the gaps fragmenting the Asian American community through the
affiliation with a common organization. Unknowingly, their efforts
had set the stage for the emergence of the largest organization of
its kind."
"Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/
Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. was founded on April 16, 1988 at Cornell
University by four strong women. The Founding Hermanas: Patricia Rivera,
Maria Cabán, Eva Marie Sosa-Grandison and Migdalia Franklin
sought to establish an organization that would transcend their collegiate
experience and consolidate their strength as responsible women devoted
to the community. With the help of Dr. Irma Almirall-Padamsee (Honorary
Hermana) this dream was brought to fruition. Today, Latinas Promoviendo
Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. proudly stands as a community
service oriented organization comprised of undergraduate, graduate
and professional women."
"La Unidad Latina, Lambda
Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Incorporated was established on February

Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Incorporated primarily seeks to
take a leadership role in meeting the needs of the Latino community

maintained a firm commitment to the empowerment and betterment of
all Latinos. To accomplish this goal, La Fraternidad addresses various
key areas of concern to the Latino community, beginning with a concentration

3 adventures a day.............minimum......small or big keep them happening.
I love to hang with my son and/or daughter, playing hockey with my buds and my passion for birding has recently been reignited. That's the real me stuff but looking for just one to hike, camp (I should do more I always feel better grounded when I return, or maybe its just the hot shower?), travel, cook, golf, listen to music (blues man here) etc. I've got the the things I like to do and am passionate about them but a crust shared............ My son had his own passion for motor sports, fortunately I had a friend that was willing and able to share same, the three of us have made many trips together. I have pretty much traveled the world already so don't need to do that any more, but I can. My work took me all over Europe, South America, China, Iceland, Mexico and US. Every time I returned here to the central coast it just looked better and better. I do really like to get to wild places of late mostly to go birding, Florida soon and Alaska on tap next. Santa Barbara is a great birding location but if you want to see other stuff ya need to go where they are. Work "forced" me to Europe and heck that's pretty cool as well. I am originally from that state with no cultural identity, NJ, so get back east periodically to visit family. I kind of go by the give a 100 times and you may get one in return, I just keep giving when ever I can and thats enough. One thing I learned when traveling..........I would get bored in the airport and just walked around, when ever some one made eye contact I would just give a big smile............guess what happens! ..............anyone out there know how to decorate.......house is due for a serious makeover and if I do it disaster looms!! At least I know what I can't do.
Camping , Exploring new areas , Playing sports
Hockey, Inline skating, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Some other viewpoint
Pretty much anywhere outdoors, Figueroa Mountain, Beaches, Carizzo Plains..an unexplored trail is like a magnet...and heck the local Firestone Brew Pub is right down the street......yes I do movies, concerts and all that stuff as well.
As inherited from my Father my six brothers and many nephews are all big Notre Dame fans......its lead to many a family reunion and we otherwise stay in touch in many ways because of this passion our dad left us.
Have recently gotten back into my birding hobby, dropped it when the kids came along...but hiking, biking, camping all work for me. I've been passionate about hockey since I was 10 so love playing with my friends and mostly my son.
The Economist...its a great way to keep up with the world. These days much I read has to do with my birding hobby. I just read "One Shot at Forever" my bro sent it, a good read about an over achieving small town IL HS baseball team in the early 70's.

Last year, Canadian newspaper the National Post gave Cramer its own "booyah," reporting that Canadian stock picks Cramer made in April 2006 resulted in a 13.7 percent one-year return -- four percentage points higher than the Toronto Stock Exchange composite index.
Michael Zhuang, however, gives a lackluster assessment of Cramer's stock-picking prowess.
Zhuang, the president of MZ Capital, a Maryland-based investment advisory firm, analyzed stock picks Cramer made in January and February 2007.
On the financial Web site seekingalpha.com, Zhuang wrote that of Cramer's January picks, more than one-third -- 35.6 percent -- were accurate.
Zhuang arrived at his conclusion by taking stocks that Cramer said were bullish or bearish on and then comparing their one-year returns to that of the S&P 500.
Cramer's February '07 picks, Zhuang told ABC News, were considerably better, with 56 percent of Cramer's calls proving accurate.
Steel would not comment on Zhuang's findings, saying that he hadn't been provided access to either the criteria Zhuang used or information on the stocks he included in his analysis.
Zhuang is no fan of Cramer. Like Swensen and Ehrenberg, he argues against frequent trades and says Cramer may be influencing investors to overreact to financial news.
"The Jim Cramer show is really making a lot of people trigger-happy," he said.
But some have come to Cramer's defense.
Gail Liberman, the co-author of the book "Quick Steps to Financial Stability," conceded that while she's never acted on Cramer's advice, she believes his show has educational value.
"He has been very successful in stock trading, and it's interesting and I find it interesting to hear what he has to say," she said.
Viewers contemplating his advice, she said, should be doing it with an eye toward gambling -- not toward paying the bills.
"The bottom line is his show is called 'Mad Money,' and it's exactly that: It's money that you can afford to lose," Liberman said. "If viewers can take that under consideration, there are some very educational points that the show makes."

What You Need to Do to Receive Academic Accommodations at HCC
1) If you have not signed an accommodation contract, you do not have any accommodations in place with the college.
2) If you do not give your accommodation memo to your instructor, he/she will not be aware of your accommodation needs.
The DSS office does not contact instructors at the beginning of the semesters to inform them of students who have identified to the DSS office. That is the purpose of the accommodation memo which is why you MUST give it to your instructors in a timely fashion.

J.J. Abrams, known in Hollywood as a multi-hyphenate (i.e. writer/director/producer) and responsible for such TV hits as "Alias" and "Lost" as well as the movies "Mission: Impossible" and "Star Trek" has just sold a new spy drama to NBC. Abrams has a history in espionage—"Alias" starring Jennifer Garner was a five-season success—but his new series borrows a theme from the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," featuring two lead characters who are "married and deeply in love," writes The Wrap.
Read more at The Wrap:
"Alias" creator and "Mission: Impossible" director J.J. Abrams is getting back into the spy business, teaming with writer Josh Reims ("Felicity") for an action-adventure-romance series that generated bids from three networks.
NBC appears to have snatched up the project after some late-night negotiating. The Peacock agreed to a rich deal for the show, people familiar with the talks said. That likely means there will be significant penalties attached at the pilot and series stages of development.
People familiar with the script describe the Abrams- Reims project as a "fun romp" in the vein of past classic TV spy adventures. The two main characters are spies who are also married and deeply in love.
Abrams and Reims have worked together before on "Felicity" and the Abrams-produced "What About Brian." More recently, Reims has worked on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" and "Dirty Sexy Money."

As a "Chopped" fanatic, Logan looks forward to spending another year as our culinary competition judges!
Brendan Kirby
Brendan is currently in his second year as co-host of The Rhode Show. He joined the team in January of 2014 after winning WPRI-TV's 2013 "Search For A Star" competition.

China announces it is scoring its citizens using big data
China rates its own citizens - including online behaviour: "The Chinese government is currently implementing a nationwide electronic system, called the Social Credit System, attributing to each of its 1,3 billion citizens a score for his or her behavior. The system will be based on various criteria, ranging from financial credibility and criminal record to social media behavior. From 2020 onwards each adult citizen should, besides his identity card, have such a credit code." [more inside]
Let Us Face the Future - "All parties pay lip service to the idea of jobs for all. All parties are ready to promise to achieve that end by keeping up the national purchasing power and controlling changes in the national expenditure through Government action. Where agreement ceases is in the degree of control of private industry that is necessary to achieve the desired end. In hard fact, the success of a full employment programme will certainly turn upon the firmness and success with which the Government fits into that programme the investment and development policies of private as well as public industry."

Where's The Juice? Commercial Speech versus Truth in Advertising
In June of this year, POM Wonderful won "a round in a food fight with Coca-Cola" in the case about how a fruit juice blend is labeled. It's a case of commercial speech, to which John Oliver opined that "in Coke's defense, they only mislead us about what was in their juice. For years, POM Wonderful has mislead us about what is in pomegranates". Generally speaking, as long as the labeling isn't incorrect or harmful, it can make bold claims, to a point. For instance, you can't claim your cereal could improve kids' attentiveness and memory when it doesn't. Whatever you do, you shouldn't add new labeling to existing, even if it is to clarify that the product sucks less, or is asbestos-free. [more inside]

Accountability in the Indiana school system
"I hope we come to the meeting today with solutions and not excuses for me to wiggle myself out of the repeated lies I have told over the last 6 months." Tony Bennett, the Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction, had a big problem. Christel House Academy, a public charter school in Indianapolis founded by time-share magnate and major GOP donor Christel DeHaan, had come in with a C on the state's A-F grading scale, thanks to poor scores by 9th and 10th graders in English and math. "They need to understand that anything less than an A for Christel House compromises all of our accountability work," Bennett wrote to a staffer. Fortunately, Bennett's team found a solution, revealed today in staff e-mails obtained by the AP -- change the state's grading scale so that the offending grades didn't count. Will Bennett be able to hold on as Indiana's top education official? Not to worry: in January, he moved on to the same job in Florida. [more inside]

Freedom from information
As despotic regimes fall under the weight of free communication and transparency, the state of Utah takes a step in the opposite direction. The Utah legislature seeks to restrict GRAMA (Government Records and Management Act) by prohibiting disclosure of lawmaker instant messages, cellphone texts, and video chats, while raising the fees for records requests. After being rammed through the legislature on a fast-track last week, then following a resounding public outcry, the bill has been delayed to allow for public input.

Keep It Like a Secret
Eric Holder releases newly revamped state secrets policy. In the face of a storm of recent criticisms from political commentators that President Obama's policies on state secrets privileges represent a continuation of the Bush administration's policies, the Obama administration has maintained all along that these policies were undergoing comprehensive Justice Department review, with the intent of releasing a new set of comprehensive rules governing the invocation and abuse of state secrets. Today, the Obama administration spelled out its new state secrets policy. [more inside]
Non-profit industrial complex?
"Arguably...given their limited obligation and inclination to report to external audiences about operational or performance matters, foundations are the least accountable institutions in our society."Some are pointing to the rise of a non-profit industrial complex (echoing Eisenhower's famous warning of a military industrial complex and the phrase's later application to the prison industry). What does it mean for the left if the revolution will not be funded?
ARR! "dramatic action" ahoy :P
President Obama's plan for American Recovery and Reinvestment [pdf] might be thought of as TARP round two [1,2] -- instead of hiding the bodies, this one's preparing the ground for a big tent or the economic equivalent of war. There are critics and detractors (cramdown nation ;) left and right, natch, but also conservative supporters and progressive defenders to save or create

Disaster Capitalism
"Like the dotcom bubble, the disaster bubble is inflating in an ad-hoc and chaotic fashion." Journalist Naomi Klein discusses how corporations and governments are working together more closely than ever, using the mandate of catastrophe — whether natural or man-made — to further concentrate power in fewer hands, with less oversight: from illegal sales of American police technology to China to avert hypothetical tragedies during the Beijing Olympics, to the privatization of water supplies in post-tsunami Sri Lanka.
The Library Of Unified Information Sources (LOUIS)
The Library Of Unified Information Sources (LOUIS) is a beta-release project of the previously mentioned Sunlight Foundation, the goal of which is "to create a comprehensive, completely indexed and cross-referenced depository of federal documents from the executive and legislative branches of government." LOUIS currently contains searchable full text documents of Congressional Reports, the Congressional Record, Congressional Hearings, Presidential Documents, the Federal Register, GAO Reports and Bills & Resolutions, going back to 2001. Other interesting Sunlight Foundation projects include Visualizing Earmarks, 3 (non-satirical) Modest Proposals, The Congressional Family Business Project, and Congresspedia.
Read the Bills
The folks at DownsizeDC have this crazy idea that the members of Congress should have to read the bills that they vote on. Here is their plan to make it happen.
The Buck Stops Where?
Living Without Ultimate Moral Responsibility. Is it desirable to live without the idea of free will as we normally understand it? Is it even possible? This interview with Galen Strawson explores these questions. Those who like something meatier may enjoy Derk Pereboom on the same subject (from the previously linked Determinism and Freedom Philosophy Website). Also of note: Susan Blackmore on living without free will.
Activist judges and the military lawyers who love them
we're paying them to report, and they take it from blogs?
A daily intelligence brief on Iraq, prepared by a private contractor for the U.S. military and companies working in Iraq--SOC-SMG Inc --paints a grim picture of life in Baghdad. The information in large sections of the brief? It came from this blog: Iraq the Model
The Bush Doctrine
President George W. Bush has bestowed on his intelligence czar, John Negroponte, broad authority, in the name of national security, to excuse publicly traded companies from their usual accounting and securities-disclosure obligations. Notice of the development came in a brief entry in the Federal Register, dated May 5, 2006, that was opaque to the untrained eye.
Rule of Law?
...Bush has been aggressive about declaring his right to ignore vast swaths of laws -- many of which he says infringe on power he believes the Constitution assigns to him alone ... President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution. ... Long, eyeopening article laying out what laws have been ignored and why. ...Bush has cast a cloud over 'the whole idea that there is a rule of law," because no one can be certain of which laws Bush thinks are valid and which he thinks he can ignore. 'Where you have a president who is willing to declare vast quantities of the legislation that is passed during his term unconstitutional, it implies that he also thinks a very significant amount of the other laws that were already on the books before he became president are also unconstitutional," ...
an off the books slush fund that both the Americans and their Iraqi allies could use with impunity to cover expenditures they would rather keep secret
How Much Oil Has Iraq Been Exporting Since We Invaded? And how much revenue should be recorded? --Iraq's oil exports hit another post-invasion low in December and January, according to the Oil & Gas Journal. How do they know? Good question: according to Reuters, production and exports have gone unmetered since the Coalition Provisional Authority took over the country following the 2003 invasion; until new meters are installed (in 1-2 more years), everybody's just guessing. Our Government's Energy Information Administration has all sorts of statistics--anyone wanna figure out how they're derived regarding Iraq?
Torturing in our name
"We do not torture" (Bush, Nov. 7)
In an important clarification of President George W. Bush's earlier statement, a top White House official refused to unequivocally rule out the use of torture... (Hadley, Nov. 13) -- The fate of a House provision to ban the torture of prisoners in U.S. custody is in doubt, strongly opposed by the Administration. And don't call it torture: the preferred talking point wording is now enhanced interrogation techniques.

Plogress.com is a new project to provide current information on what Senators and Representatives are currently doing in Congress. It consists of a separate blog--with feeds--for each US Senator and Representative, listing bills that he or she is sponsor of or cosponsor.

Opening up government, because they're too slow to do it themselves
Hacking open democracy. First came FaxYourMP, so technophobe MPs could be easily contacted by the 'net generation. Next were PublicWhip, DowningStreetSays and TheyWorkForYou (previously discussed here and here) to help voters keep tabs on what their elected representatives get up to in office. Coming soon are FaxYourRepresentative/WriteToThem, NotApathetic and YourConstituencyMailingList. (MI).
Order! Order!! Order!!!
They Work For You was launched at yesterday's NotCon '04 by the people who brought you Fax Your MP. It makes Hansard accessible, via search facilities (by MP or by topic), with each individual speech presented as a separate, linkable entry. Get an RSS feed of your own MP's speeches, hold them to account over their special interests, but most of all, don't forget to vote this week!
Iraq on the Record
Iraq on the Record A full compilation of the Bush administration's misleading statements on Iraq was comissioned by rep. Henry Waxman. It is now available as a pdf report and as a database searchable by name of speaker or keyword. Did this sort of framework for accountability exist before the Web, and can it be effective now?
Accountability? We don't need no stinkin' accountability!
Where is our money going? According to the Congressional Budget Office, not only is the Bush administration asking for 87 billion dollars to cover Iraqi reconstruction, but they're also unable to account for 2.5 billion of the 4 billion dollars that they're spending per month in Iraq.
Four 9/11 Widows Demand Truth
Four 9/11 Widows Demand Truth. "This is a stonewalling job of far greater importance than Watergate. This concerns the refusal of the country's leadership to be held accountable for the failure to execute its most fundamental responsibility: to protect its citizens against foreign attack. 'If we have an executive branch that holds sole discretion over what information is released to the public and what is hidden, the public will never get the full story of why there was an utter failure to protect them that day, and who should be held accountable.'"
Still the Worst?
10 Worst Corporations for 2002. Is this list still true in May of 2003, or have other corporations superseded this line-up? Was it even a good list of the best of the worst back in December of 2002? (From Multinational Monitor.)
Excellent summation
Excellent summation of the Cheney/GAO tussle by someone who knows a thing or two about cover-ups: John Dean.
GOP Will Fight GAO Lawsuit.
GOP Will Fight GAO Lawsuit. Says Orrin Hatch, "the General Accounting Office, shouldn't be 'trying to impose disclosure on internal White House meetings to determine policy. ... If you have to do that, pretty soon there wouldn't be any meetings.'" This is going to be a tough move to defend come election time.
Conspiracy buffs - don't miss this!
Conspiracy buffs - don't miss this! The latest Make Them Accountable report pulls together over 250 links around the question "What did they know (about 9/11), and when did they know it?" An amazing compendium. I don't see how ALL THIS could be crackpot ravings.
GAO to Cheney: "Show us what you got!"
GAO to Cheney: "Show us what you got!" Ok, well it wasn't that dramatic, but this "demand letter" is one step away from giving the Veep a subpeona. Even right wing attack dog Judicial Watch is getting in with some hot lawsuit action.

Real, honest-to-goodness holograms are a thing now
If you're retiring soon, take these steps now
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Buoyed by the likes of Google (NASDAQ:
), Priceline (NASDAQ:
) and Facebook's (NASDAQ:
) Lazarus act, just to name a few, Internet ETFs have been
stellar performers this year.
Not only has the First Trust Dow Jones Internet Index Fund
) gained more than 30 percent this year, but almost $627 million
of the ETF's $1.47 billion in assets under management have flowed
into the fund since the start of 2013.
Interesting Themes Among ETFs Hitting All-Time
FDN and rival funds usually make room for U.S. Internet
giants, such as the aforementioned stocks and others like Amazon
) and LinkedIn (NYSE:
). However, one Internet stock ETF investors should ensure their
funds have is not a U.S. name. It is China's Tencent Holdings
), that country's largest Internet company.
As of Monday, shares of Tencent traded in U.S.
over-the-counter markets surged 63 percent year-to-date. To put
that into context, shares of the largest Internet company in the
largest country in the world, though still a company many
Americans do not know about, have been nearly three times better
than Google than this year. Tencent has delivered more than
quadruple the returns of Amazon in 2013.
When it comes to Chinese Internet names, the ones that
usually pop up in Internet ETFs
are Baidu (NASDAQ:
), Sina (NASDAQ:
) and Qihoo 360 Technology (NASDAQ:
), among others.
Accessing Tencent via ETFs is not only possible, but the ETFs
that hold shares of the company usually feature substantial
weights to it. And that is a good thing. Tencent's revenue has
doubled in each of the past two years and its net income will
increase 25 percent,
according to Bloomberg
The Global X Social Media Index ETF (NASDAQ:
), mostly known as
the Facebook ETF
and perhaps the first ETF to hold Twitter when that company goes
public, is also home to a sizable Tencent allocation.
Tencent is SOCL's largest holding at 12.6 percent, or more
than 100 basis points above the weight the ETF gives to Facebook.
SOCL's weight to Tencent is nearly 300 basis points larger than
the weight to LinkedIn and more than double the fund's weight to
Pandora (NYSE:
). So when investors try to figure out why SOCL is up 44.3
percent this year, some of the credit must go to Tencent.
Tencent is also the fourth-largest holding (nearly 9.7
percent) in another Global X ETF, the Global X NASDAQ China
Technology ETF (NASDAQ:
). The ETF is up nearly 40 percent year-to-date.
The Guggenheim China Technology ETF (NYSE:
) has surged almost 38.3 percent this with Tencent as its largest
holding with a current weight of nearly 12 percent. There are
multiple reasons why tech and Internet ETFs
have been leaders among China ETFs
this year and one of those reasons is clearly Tencent.
Even the new KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NASDAQ:
) gets it. KWEB, which is not yet two months old, features a
10.18 percent weight to Tencent, making the stock the new ETF's
largest holding.
With a market value of $98.7 billion, Tencent is nearly twice
