Breastfeeding: Mothers before me
Welcome to The Breastfeeding Cafe Carnival! This post was written as part of The Breastfeeding Cafe's Carnival. For more info on the Breastfeeding Cafe, go to www.breastfeedingcafe.wordpress.com. For more info on the Carnival or if you want to participate, contact Claire at clindstrom2 {at} gmail {dot} com. Today's post is about how the mothers before you influenced your choice to breastfeed. Please read the other blogs in today's carnival listed below and check back for more posts July 18th through the 31st!
My mother didn't breastfeed. At the time, women were told not to. The wisdom of the time was that breastmilk didn't have enough nutrients. It's funny considering how many nutrients have been put into formula in the last few years and how the ingredients list still looks surprisingly like that of a Twinkie mixed with a multi-vitamin.
Beyond the recommendations of OBGYNs at the time, (and to be quite honest, I still find the recommendations of many OBGYNs to be unrelated to any actual research) I was adopted. My family has a long history of adoption. There are adoptees in most generations of my family. My brother just adopted his daughter last year. I know that people breastfeed their adopted children, but it isn't common and wasn't common in my family.
Those women trying to exclusively breastfeed in my family are seen as somewhat suspect. The generation older than me looks at them as if they are trying something wildly experimental and ridiculous. The general attitude is more like, "when they get older, they will get over it."
I had experience with breastfeeding. I worked as a labor and delivery nurse and I worked in the NICU (newborn intensive care unit). That means that I was indoctrinated with the idea (from other nurses) that we had to help new moms out by directly contradicting their wishes. I watched many nurses feed newborn babies bottles after their mothers had expressed that they wanted to exclusively breastfeed. Ostensibly, this was to help the moms and babies "get some sleep", but let's be honest, it made the nurse's job a hell of a lot easier.
I worked with OBGYNs who didn't put the baby anywhere near the mom right after birth and poo-pooed the idea that babies would build that breastfeeding relationship starting right after birth.
Many of these nurses and doctors were mothers. Most new mothers believe that their doctors and nurses have their best interests at heart.
Raised how I was and working where I was working, I tried to buck the trend anyway. It was hard. Despite being a labor and delivery nurse, I had no idea how hard breastfeeding was really going to be. I had seen women struggle, but somehow thought they were fighting it.
I also had no idea how hard it would be for me to fight the mindset of my family and peers. I thought, I will just tell them I am breastfeeding and that will be it. It wasn't.
Without solid role models and a good support structure, I floundered. When I was struggling, the women there for me told me to stop fighting it. They told me things that I knew weren't true. "Your baby might be allergic to your breastmilk." "Your baby is starving." "She's letting you know this isn't what she needs."
As a sleep-deprived new mom, it was impossible to resist these statements. The confusion and concern were overwhelming. I was trying to do everything right and failing. Maybe I really was doing everything wrong.
I'm amazed that I was as strong as I was. I eventually gave up breastfeeding my first child. I gave in. And, I regretted it and thought of myself as weak. But, without the support of those women who came before me, I was really showing strength in sticking with it as long as I did.
With my second baby, I knew I had to do it differently. I actively sought out role models. I had some serious conversations with my support team. I had a whole different structure.
And I did it. I breastfed my baby. I breastfed after I started my new full-time career. I breastfed through my double load in graduate school. I breastfed when my husband left. I breastfed while being sued over custody. I breastfed through horrible, traumatic times for me, my kids, and my parents. I managed to breastfeed while all of these things were going on at the same time.
The mothers who came before me did what they thought was right for their babies. That includes my mother encouraging me to stop breastfeeding. I'm still her baby. She saw me struggling and thought what she was doing was right. In the end, she was probably right. I was having such a hard time with my first. But, when I was finding so much comfort breastfeeding my second through my nasty divorce, my mom was right there supporting me and making it possible for me to breastfeed.

Cardboard boats teach engineering
Go, go, go!" shout some 40 teenagers around a pool.
"Come, go faster! They're catchin' up!"
Four teens glide across the water, racing to get to the other end and back. But they're not swimming, they're rowing. And they aren't in typical crafts — they're rowing in cardboard boats they made as part of an engineering and construction camp this week at Naval Base Ventura County.
Sponsored by the Society of Military Engineers and hosted by the 31st Seabee Readiness Group, the camp selected about 40 applicants from across the country, giving them the chance to get hands-on experience in construction and engineering.
It's the seventh time the camp has been held at the base. The weeklong camp's highlight is the cardboard boat racing, where four teams have three hours to make a buoyant boat out of cardboard, plastic wrap and duct tape.
The four teams are judged on design, construction and a series of races across the pool.
The exercise is designed to get the teens thinking, said Tony Dapp, the officer in charge of the camp.
"The whole concept of the cardboard box seems impossible," Dapp said. "We wanted to push the students with a chance to create with a lot of creativity."
The boats were built in all different shapes, sizes and lengths, some resembling kayaks and others pointed boxes.
"The Man Clan Plus 3" team came in first with its boat, The PanDragon. Jeneé Christensen of Beavercreek, Ohio, raced The PanDragon first, steadily rowing to the sound of her teammates chanting her name. "My muscles were quivering, I was so nervous," said the 14-year-old.
In the second race, the boat's designer, Valerie Tucciarone of Las Vegas, paddled it across but had trouble keeping up and steering. "It was scary," said the 17-year-old. "I looked over and they were halfway down the pool."
But she won, mostly because of the boat's design based on triangles, simple angles and structural beams inside, she said.
One team out-chanted the others and waved a cardboard American flag with "Squad Three" scribbled over the stars as its boat, named the USS Harry Kim after one of the camp's eight volunteer mentors, struggled to stay afloat.
Before the race, 14-year-old Adam Giniger of Panama City Beach, Fla., said the boat smothered in plastic wrap weighed about 35 pounds. "We'll salute it if it sinks," he said.
It flipped over, filled with water and collapsed, but it didn't sink. No salute necessary.
The San Francisco-based URS Corp., an engineering firm, sponsored the boat project, donating about $2,000 worth of materials.
The 40 teens also built small bridges out of Popsicle sticks and wood glue earlier in the week, which they will test and watch collapse on Friday.
The nation needs engineers, and these kids are the future, said Lance C. Brendel, vice president of federal programs for URS' Pacific region. "We want them to think, show innovative design," Brendel said.

Nifty newts
Great crested newts are the largest and most rare newts found in Britain. Their population has gradually decreased due to loss of habitat. We're lucky to have a good population living and breeding in Dyffryn which we're working to protect.
Great crested newts normally live on land, but breed in ponds and pools. You may have noticed that there's a lot of weed in our ornamental ponds; this is because we cannot disturb the newts' breeding sites.
Once the great crested newts were discovered on site, a programme of habitat enhancement works was undertaken to specifically enhance their habitat as part of the restoration scheme. The new 'newt complex' was funded with grant aid from the Countryside Council for Wales and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
New digs
The works have included the creation of tunnels under paths with cement 'runs' to guide newts into the tunnel entrances. The tunnels have been put in under footpaths to link the ponds with each other and the adjacent scrub habitat which the newts use for foraging. Footpaths can act as barriers to newts, but these special newt tunnels enable the newts to move freely around the site.
The works also included the construction of a hibernation mound. Pipes are pushed into the mound to provide access routes into it. The newts can travel to the centre of the mound through the pipes and squeeze into the gaps between the rock pieces to hibernate.
We monitor the newt population at various times throughout the year to make sure we're doing all we can to give the newts a safe home.

(Mar 02, 2008) At a meeting held in mid-February 2008 in Addis Ababa, Indian Ocean islands agreed to be connected to each other and the rest of the world by fiber cable. The nations involved include Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion (a French region, not an independents state), and Seychelles. At present Mauritius and Reunion are connected to a cable system, and both governments have taken action to lower access costs. The purposes of the fiber project are to connect the rest of the islands and provide a level of redundancy to users of the cable system. The existing cable has sometimes been broken as a result of rough weather. The greatest demand for the service is expected in the future to come from Madagascar, which has the largest population.

|Social Strata, Inc. / Mindraven
|Stable release
|7.5.9 / January 2015
|Written in
|Internet forum
UBB.classic (formerly Ultimate Bulletin Board or UBB) was an Internet forum software package originally written by Ted O'Neill of Social Strata, Inc. in 1996. It was written in Perl and used a flat file database. The last version of the software was 6.7.3, and was maintained by Charles Capps until he left Social Strata (then known as Groupee) in early 2006.
End of life[edit]
At one time the hallmark of all message board software, UBB.classic has seen its market share steadily decline, largely due to the growing number of database-driven forum software written in PHP, such as the UBB-like proprietary vBulletin and Invision Power Board, the free software phpBB, and others. In 2001, Groupee (then known as Infopop) acquired WWWThreads, which was renamed UBB.threads and was written in PHP and used a MySQL database. Despite the WWWThreads acquisition, Infopop/Groupee failed to gain back most of their lost market share, and consequently, many UBB.classic and even WWWThreads/UBB.threads forum owners continued to move to competing forum software packages. In the summer of 2005, Groupee announced plans for a new product that was supposed to replace UBB.classic as well as UBB.threads, and would use PHP/MySQL like UBB.threads. The last version of UBB.classic was 6.7.3, released in 2005.
On March 30, 2006, Groupee, Inc. announced that the previously announced replacement product would be called UBB.threads v7 and not a completely new product.[1] However, much of the code of UBB.threads v7 is completely new since version 6 and incompatible with previous versions, and any "upgrade" from a UBB.classic or UBB.threads v6.x board would require an import as if it were a completely new product. UBB.classic became an "end of life" and was no longer sold or supported on June 15, 2006.
On January 1, 2010, UBB.threads was sold to Mindraven, Inc., with developer Rick Baker assuming full management of the product. The sale of UBB.threads to Mindraven included all former UBB.classic licenses as part of the sale, and thus all existing UBB.classic licenses are now managed by Mindraven.

An international team of researchers led by Dr Thomas Kipps from the University of California, San Diego, has identified a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets and directly kills chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells.
Their research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, represents a potential new therapy for treating at least some patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells.
These cells express high levels of a cell-surface glycoprotein receptor called CD44. The team identified a monoclonal antibody called RG7356 that specifically targeted CD44, and was directly toxic to cancer cells, but had little effect on normal B cells.
Moreover, the team found RG7356 induced chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells that expressed the protein ZAP-70 to undergo apoptosis or programmed cell death.
Roughly half of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients have leukemia cells that express ZAP-70. Such patients typically have a more aggressive form of the disease than patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells that do not express that specific protein.
Previous research has shown that chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells routinely undergo spontaneous or drug-induced cell death when removed from the body and cultured in the lab.
The scientists found that chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells receive survival signals from surrounding non-tumor cells that are present in the lymph nodes and bone marrow of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. One of these survival signals appears to be transmitted through CD44. However, when CD44 is bound by the RG7356 monoclonal antibody, it seems to instead convey a death signal to the leukemia cell.
"By targeting CD44, it may be possible to kill chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells regardless of whether there are sufficient numbers of so-called effector cells, which ordinarily are required by other monoclonal antibodies to kill tumor cells," Dr Kipps explained.
"We plan to initiate clinical trials using this humanized anti-CD44 monoclonal antibody in the not-too-distant future."

Have Hope': Missing Colorado City teen Hailey Dunn's family, friends stay optimistic
Missing girl'sfamily, friendsstay optimistic
COLORADO CITY — A sign outside Colorado Middle School reads "Have Hope" — two words that are uniting a school and a town and giving strength to a mother and father who desperately want to see her their daughter come home safe.
Friday marked a month to the day that 13-year-old Hailey Dunn was reported missing, and the girl's mother said she is finding strength in faith.
"I have to speak for her, and I have to just never give up on her," Billie Jean Dunn said. "I have to believe that she's out there or else I'm not gonna be able to stay strong."
"She's out there, and somebody knows something," said Hailey's father, Clint Dunn, on Friday. He spoke by phone as he drove to El Paso with his girlfriend, Naomi Stewart, and their two children. He planned to hand out fliers and talk to the media to bring attention to Hailey's disappearance.
Others in Colorado City also said they were staying optimistic.
"We're going to try to be positive," said Mark Merrell, principal of Colorado Middle School, where Hailey attends eighth grade.
Students eager to help find their missing classmate have organized school activities and fundraisers, and have created buttons and wrist bands. Next week, students have planned "Hailey Week" with a different theme for each day.
"Tuesday, they're doing twin day so they're going to pick somebody and they're going to dress alike," said eighth-grade math teacher Joni Lacefield.
"I don't really know that they think it's obviously helping find Hailey, but it's helping them deal with it," Lacefield said.
Lacefield said the situation hasn't been easy for teachers, either.
"Every day we have to take roll, and we have to mark her absent, so we're constantly reminded that she's not here," she said.
Keeping attention on the missing girl and trying to keep students focused on their schoolwork has been a difficult task at times, educators said.
"It's kind of a balancing act to try to meet the needs of our students that are here at school and still support Hailey, and I think they really go hand in hand," Merrell said.
The ordeal has changed the dynamic of the school and brought staff and students closer together, Lacefield said.
"We make it a point to talk to them and hug them, and 'hey, we love you and have a good day,' " she said. "It's changed how you interact with everybody."
Clint Dunn said he also has seen a change in the way he interacts with his own family and is struggling to find a balance between searching for Hailey and being a father to his three other children.
"It's 30 days, it's so ... There's no words to explain the feeling of loss that I feel. I feel so lost," he said. "I'm trying to balance my life out; I've got other kids that I've got to think of, too, and I have no job right now — I'm staying with my mom ... you want to talk about some stress," he said.
Billie Jean Dunn said she struggles day to day to remain optimistic.
"I still very much want to believe that she can come home safe," she said. "But I've just never gone this long without seeing Hailey, and I can't explain how much I miss her. I'm still waiting to get that call that they have her and she's safe, or still waiting to see her walk through the door."
Meanwhile, law enforcement officials continued their search in Mitchell and Scurry counties, including near the home of the grandmother of Shawn Adkins, the former boyfriend of Hailey's mother and the only identified suspect in the girl's disappearance.
"It's in the area that (Adkins) travels to and from his Colorado City house and work," said Patrick Toombs, sheriff of Mitchell County, about the search location.
Toombs said the amount of resources devoted to the search will depend on the size of the area to be searched, the number of personnel available and the type of leads received.
"As long as we get information or stuff that we feel like we need to look at and search out, we'll keep doing that as long as it takes."
Snow and sleet forecast for Monday night and Tuesday could halt the search for a day or two, but the effort will resume when weather permits, Toombs said.

What we notice and make a fuss about are the final stages, the results of gradual, constantly unfolding change that is actually taking place daily. Our landscape is never still but always transforming, mostly in subtle ways we hardly make note of.
As I write this snow covers the ground but the bare branches of the tree outside my window are free of covering and I can see the fattening of buds that is beginning to take place even as the cold winter winds howl through the neighborhood. Light is lengthening and the birds that have been so quiet these last weeks are starting to make their presence audible as well as visible. It looks and feels like winter, but spring has begun to prepare for her grand entrance already.
Woodland walks in Skunknet and West Barnstable conservation areas are filled with the sounds of branches singing together, the cheerful chirps of chickadees and titmice as they wend their way through the trees searching out hibernating insects and spiders beneath bark and in wrinkled crevices. Nuthatches join with a yank-yank call even as flickers declare their noisy selves. It is the Carolina wren, however, who wins hands down in the "who's-the-nosiest-bird-of-the-day" contest.
Southside beaches such as Craigville and Dowse's are host to many red-breasted mergansers and buffleheads. An occasional loon plies the waters and a small flock of brant moves from beach to beach, often settling in near the jetty at Kalmus, where the pickings must be good. You will still find a nice flock of snow buntings at Kalmus and a resident Cooper's hawk. The marshy waterway off Sea Street Beach is the winter home of gadwalls, American wigeons and an occasional pintail duck. Watch area ponds for ring-necked ducks and wood ducks as well as buffleheads and goldeneyes. A Barrow's goldeneye has been sighted off Cotuit in the last few weeks.
Northside at Sandy Neck you will find loons and grebes, eiders and scoters as well as an assortment of mergansers. Look for long-tail ducks and goldeneyes here as well. Along the marsh you may see the resident northern harriers and at dusk a short-eared owl or two. Watch the dunes for a sighting of a snowy owl. They are not uncommon vagrants here.
It is a good time of year to spot deer, fox and coyotes. Watch, too, for otters in the ponds. It is a great time to see if you can spy an otter slide. They can be found along the Skunknet River as well as other Barnstable areas.

Currently working on a few spreads for the next volume of Adult Babysitting. It's always fun drawing humans behaving badly.
I've also been having actual legit fun pumping up the volume on my illustrations by adding some enhancements in Photoshop. I'm hoping for lots of vivid, neon color in the next issue. I want my readers to feel like they've got their Beer Goggles on.
Classy eh? More to come!
Also, a big HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! to this guy, my dad, without whom I wouldn't be drawing and stuff, and you wouldn't be reading this blog. Thanks for being awesome, Dad.

BOBCAT HALL OF FAME: Hollis strides to honor
Ex-CHS star also shined on Baylor track
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Billy Hollis never had a proper track to train on as a sprinter for San Angelo High School in the 1950s, working out instead on a dirt track atop an old cemetery.
It didn't stop him from speeding to stardom in college and into the new Bobcat Athletic Hall of Fame.
"It's very humbling to think of being in the inaugural Hall of Fame class," said Hollis, who will be inducted during a ceremony at 6 p.m. Saturday at the McNease Convention Center. "San Angelo High and Central High have had a lot of outstanding athletes."
Hollis earned six varsity letters in football, basketball and track. He quarterbacked the Bobcat football team and scored the school's last touchdown at Old Bobcat Stadium on Pulliam Street in 1956.
He enjoyed football, where his speed gave him an advantage. "A guy with speed can make a mistake and cover up for it," Hollis said, and he considered several college scholarship offers.
"But track was my first love," he said. "I had started running in the Little Olympics in the fifth and sixth grade and had a lot of blue ribbons."
He went to Baylor, where three generations of family members had attended before him, and in 1960 capped his athletic career by leading the school to its first Southwest Conference championship, winning the 100-yard dash and running the anchor leg on the Bears' first-place 440-yard and mile relay teams.
Hollis later beat Olympic champion Bobby Morrow in the 100 at the state Amateur Athletic Union meet, but he suffered a leg injury and was unable to compete in the Olympic trials.
Last fall, he was inducted into the Baylor Athletic Hall of Fame.
It all started in San Angelo, where track coach Bill Purser saw the potential in the young runner even as a junior high athlete — but didn't see enough progress after his arrival on the varsity and decided Hollis needed an incentive.
"Billy, you're going no place fast," Purser told Hollis, noting that the sprinter was still running the same 10.1 time he had run in junior high. "You're winning, but you're not going to keep on winning because the competition will get tougher. We're going to have to make a change."
The coach moved Hollis from the 100 to the 440 and told him, "I'm not going to let you sprint until you break 50 in the quarter. It'll make you stronger and more relaxed."
Hollis eventually cracked the 50-second mark, Purser kept his word and the next week Hollis ran 9.7 in the 100.
Hollis finished second in the 100 and third in the 220 at the state meet his senior year.
"He wanted to be good," Purser said. "Billy was such a good starter. He could get out of the blocks and get going. The people who outran him were few and far between."
Hollis ranched for two years after finishing at Baylor, then coached at Lee Junior High School before entering the insurance business in 1967. He missed coaching, he said, especially "when I saw the kids I coached playing for the Bobcats."
He later served on the San Angelo school board and has been a longtime sports booster. "I still love the Bobcats," he said.

League of Women Voters (Alabama)
League of Women Voters (National)
Alabama Attorney General - (800) 831-8814
Alabama Republican Party - (866) 675-2772 or (866) 675-5803
Alabama Democratic Party - (800) 995-3386
| Birmingham -- Shirley Ferrill is charged up. She's canvassed voters since she was 14.
"A bunch of us teenagers went door to door helping people fill out registration cards. And I'm 55. And I don't have any problem with that cause I'm glad to be alive."
This campaign veteran along, with first timer Rebecca Schiffman, are canvassing in north Birmingham for Greater Birmingham Ministries. They ruffle through a clipboard of voter lists and consult the map, planning the next stop.
"So we need...28th street? What do we got? [Schiffman] It's about two or three blocks that way."
It's a pretty straightforward routine. Find the house. Introduce yourself...
"My name's Shirley. This is Rebecca. And we're doing some voter outreach today."
Then start the questions...
"And just wanted to see if you're planning to vote on November 4th, cause we do see that you're a registered voter?"
So consider this your voter canvassing via the radio. Are you planning to vote tomorrow? Are you registered? Not sure? Alabama's Supervisor of Voter Registration Ed Packard explains what to do.
"Well if they're not sure they're registered to vote, the best thing for them to do is contact the Board of Registrars office for their county."
You can also check the Alabama Secretary of State's web site. And while you're there, you can find another vital piece of information - where's my polling place?
Back on the voter trail with Rebecca and Shirley, they pass a couple of guys leaning against the hood of a car in front of a barber shop.
"How you doing? You guys registered to vote?"
One guy says yes and the other says he has a felony and can't vote. But that may or may not be true because of an issue which arose about a month ago. In Alabama, people convicted of felonies of "moral turpitude" can't vote. The problem was the Attorney General, the Governor and the Administrative Office of the Courts, each had their own lists of crimes and they varied widely. From as few as 28 to more than 400. But Ed Packard says the Secretary of State's Office settled on the less restrictive Attorney General's opinion. We're talking things like rape, murder and burglary, but not felony DUI.
"In our recommendation from the Secretary of State's Office to the Boards of Registrars is that if there's any doubt about someone's qualifications. You leave them on the list."
Still the state Democratic Party has raised concerns some people may have been unfairly purged. So let's say you show up to vote and for whatever reason, your name isn't on the rolls. What then?
"They do have a right to vote what's called a provisional ballot."
That ballot is marked by the voter on Election Day and then officials have 7 days to figure out if the voter was improperly purged, in which case the ballot is counted. The Secretary of State's office is under no obligation to contact voters about provisional ballots. But you can go to their web site and see if it counted and if not, why not.
The Alabama Democratic and Republican parties have hotlines set up to report allegations of voter fraud and misconduct, as does the Attorney General.
So after an historic election season, just one thing left - make your choice. Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.

Marchesa's New Contemporary Line Marchesa Voyage
Marchesa Is Launching a Contemporary Line
Like us on Facebook
With the introduction of new contemporary line Marchesa Voyage, Chapman and Craig aim to solve that issue. Priced from $150 to $750, the new line consists of daywear separates meant to sit alongside the likes of Alexander Wang and 3.1 Phillip Lim, but with a decidedly fancier, classic Marchesa spin. That means shift dresses, silk tops, harem pants, and collarless jackets come all dressed up thanks to the addition of sparkling embroidery, lush fur, and scarf-inspired prints.
"We felt like we needed it to have a personality," Chapman said of the line, which also includes 45 styles of embellished shoes. "There would have to be a reason for someone to buy it."
Look for Marchesa Voyage to launch in late 2013.

Two Planes Come Dangerously Close to Hitting on Runway
Flying was easy. Landing was hard.
Flying was easy. Landing was hard.
A blind man whose guide dog was at the center of a controversy during a short flight had his fellow passengers' support when the crew tried to boot him.
You won't believe what people don't take with them when getting off a plane.
Looking to kick back with a good book or catch some Zs on your next flight? That may not happen if a new idea from Virgin Atlantic catches on.
Let's face it, we've all come pretty close to nodding off at work. However, there are certain professions -- say, airline pilot -- where taking a quick snooze just isn't acceptable.
Who in the heck is Spirit Airlines? Well, they are officially the fourth airline to start charging customers to bring aboard carry-on luggage, in this case $100.
On flights, it used to be that carry-on luggage was as free as a complimentary bag of peanuts, but that's all starting to change. In fact, a third small airline just added a fee for passengers who wish to bring a carry-on bag.
Last year, the 17 largest airlines in the US made $3.3 billion in baggage-related fees, and now American Airlines would like a little bigger slice of the pie.
It's just announced a new luggage service that might make your life a little easier — but of course it'll cost you.
There is nothing quite like being catapulted 40,000 feet into the air and feeling the effects of a high pressure, high altitude beer buzz while being shuttled at top speed across the great American skies.

RE: point 7:
US homeowners confound prediction models because it appears that they can do math after all--sure, they took on ridiculous ARMS looking as though they couldn't understand the math--but when it came to paying the interest vs selling vs walking away, the choice was easy. Let's see. I own no part of this house because I put no money down. If I stay, I will be paying more than the house is worth. If I sell, I would have to come up with money to cover the mortgage. Hm. Seems like the bank can have it.
It isn't that Americans changed, --it's that the lending rules did. And no one in their right mind wants to be left holding an overpriced, impossible-to-pay-for, impossible-to-sell bag of house.
Hint to those creating the models: If the lending rules change, you should change your models.
- David said...
I agree, and I think it's telling to note how a reliance on models and a diminished capacity for plain judgement seem to have played a role in so many of the recent financial market blowups.
Regarding the trend of people walking away from their homes, I have seen a lot about this in the past two weeks and it is really surprising to see it all play out.
When you see those ads for the "You Walk Away" service, you know that it's gotten kind of surreal.
I recall Richard Russell writing about the inevitable housing bust some time ago in his newsletter and saying that when it's all done, you'll be surprised how many people will just walk away from their homes and turn the keys in to the bank. It's all coming true.

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) -- North Las Vegas police are investigating a fatal accident that shut down traffic on Lake Mead Boulevard.
Investigators say a 26-year-old Las Vegas woman was killed early Monday when she lost control of a Nissan she was driving at a high rate of speed and struck a wall along westbound Lake Mead Boulevard near Simmons Street.
She was ejected from the vehicle and was declared dead at the scene. Traffic was shut down in both directions of the boulevard for several hours.
Speed, alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt appear to be factors in the crash.
The name of the victim has not been released. This is the 10th traffic-related fatality in North Las Vegas this year.

Students Take Crucial College Scholastic Ability Test
A Volunteer give a ride to a student who is about to miss the College... News PhotoEducation,Giving,Horizontal,Riding,Seoul,South Korea,Student,VolunteerPhotographer Chung Sung-JunCollection: Getty Images News 2012 Getty ImagesSEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - NOVEMBER 08: A Volunteer give a ride to a student who is about to miss the College Scholastic Ability Test at a school on November 8, 2012 in Seoul, South Korea. More than 660,000 high school seniors and graduates sit for the examinations at 1,100 test centers across the country, where academic records are all important. Success in the exam, one of the most rigourous standardized tests in the world, enables students to study at Korea's top universities. (Photo by Chung Sung-Jun/Getty Images)

Mixed martial arts trainer Lloyd Irvin is high on Jon Jones and told the Wall Street Journal, that Jones at 23 is a "next-generation fighter."
The sensational talent made his professional debut slightly less than three years ago on April 12, 2008.
Stephan Bonnar, of Ultimate Fighter fame, dropped a decision to Jones at UFC 94 back in Jan. 2009, and he knows a couple of things about the fight game:
"I've never seen anyone throw anything like that. I didn't even know it hit me. I was laying there thinking someone from the audience threw a bottle or something….
He was like 10 feet away from me and he threw this step-forward back kick and it landed.
I went to counter him and I'm like 10 feet away from him. It's something you're not used to dealing with. I mean, 85-inch reach? That's incredible."
Jonathan Snowden has much the same take on Jones' abilities:
"Looking at a snapshot of Jones's career, provided by the amazing team at FightMetric, the numbers are staggering. Jones has landed twice as many strikes as his opponents in a seven fight UFC tenure. He's taken down opponents with an almost 70 percent accuracy rate, one of the best in UFC history.
Almost a third of those takedowns were "slams" a takedown that sees a fighter take an opponent completely off both feet before depositing him on the mat. Conversely, no opponent has managed to put Jones on the mat. This includes a collection of great wrestlers like Ryan Bader, Matt Hamill, and Vladimir Matyushenko."
Jones squares off with light-heavyweight champ Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 128 this weekend, and while his training partner, Rashad Evans, waited months for his shot at Rua, Jones had been playing the part of Rua in training with Evans.
That all adds up to a hell of a donnybrook in our estimation…

Kingston Takes SSD Durability Testing To The Extreme
"The guys at Kingston have some fun with their Destructo series of SSD durability tests."
Published: 8th January 2010 | Source: Kingston |
One of the main touted selling points of SSDs is their durability. With no moving parts, SSDs have a major advantage in this department over traditional mechanical drives. But how much abuse can SSDs really take?
Enter the SSD Destructo series. A pair of guys from Kingston have taken it upon themselves to find out, though in a perhaps less traditional, more fun manner. Tests so far have consisted of hitting the drive with a baseball bat, bowling ball and golf club, with the additional test of, as the Kingston boys call it, "throwing sh*t" at it.
Want to know the results? Check out the series on Youtube here.

Its cheap, is made of wool that keeps you warm when wet, cuts wind really well...FAR better than synthetic fleece hats, its super rugged and takes any amount of abuse. Its not made of merino wool, but who cares. Ive used this as my primary winter hat since I was a teenager on winter backpacking trips in the eighties. Why should I change?
