Indeed. This time, we agree with Holly Robinson Peete.
Many Twitter users were disgusted overnight when Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy went after the mother of his child on Twitter. His nickname is "Shady" and, boy, does it fit.
The mother of his child issued some accusations, claiming he neglects his son. She also tweeted a little too much information.
Wow. Taking a page from Toure's repugnant book?
LeSean responds: All class. And by class, we mean the exact opposite.
That's right. He oh-so-bravely calls upon his fans to go after … the mother of his child. But, guess what? Brave LeSean has deleted his entire Twitter account, not just the tweets. Alas, LeSean, the internet is forever.
Screenshots via Tweetwood.com:
Oh, well. As long as he is having fun at a club! The mother of his child responds further.
LeSean then tweeted "hacked." Convenient! Oh, and he tweeted that right before deleting his entire Twitter account.
Most are not buying it.
While some fans answered his despicable call to attack the mother of his child (which LeSean then oh-so-classily retweeted), most fans are disgusted by LeSean's (if not "hacked") actions.
And a protip for LeSean:
Another Twitter user hopes for something that seems to be near impossible, unless that whole "hacked" thing proves true.
Indeed. Based on LeSean's Twitter feed last night, we won't hold our breath.

why is the noct nikkor so ridiculously expensive, is it really THAT good or is it hype?
Personally, I do not see much benefit for having a f1.2 lens over a f1.4 lens but people by them. The price for SLR 50mm f1.2 is somewhat reasonable, I guess, but those 58mm f1.2 Nikkors cost much much more than 50mm f1.2 lenses.

It's Friday. It's sunny and gorgeous out. And there's a long weekend ahead. Oh and my kids are napping right now! Ah I love this moment.
So let me tell you what the little monkeys have been gabbing about this week. And I'll say it again. These words are straight from the mouths of my curly-haired babes…
My little guy continues to have deep thoughts about God and the questions come at me rapid fire.
When God was a baby who made him? Does he wear glasses? Does God have dark skin? Is he a boy or a girl? Does he eat dinner with his family? Does he have a beard like daddy?
On the subject of babies, my daughter says,
Does it cost a lot of money to make children? How does the baby get out of your tummy?
While my rabbit obsessed little one chimes in innocently,
How come bunnies don't talk?
My son runs over to me with a big hug and says.
You smell like soup. Are we gonna have the same hair forever?
I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried!
Have a wonderful 4th and enjoy your family!

Who would you be without your story? In every moment we tell the world our story — I'm poor; I'm dumb; I'm oppressed; I'm trapped. Have you ever thought about who you could be if you let go of that story? Just asking that question is a revolutionary act! And it is only the beginning. This website is dedicated to the idea that we can envision a better life for ourselves. What is your Life Vision? What do you need to change to make that vision a reality?
There's an old saying, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. It was certainly that way for me with Byron Katie and her amazing book Loving What Is. I've spent my life telling myself and the world a lot of stories about myself. I'm the bridesmaid, but never the bride. I'm a poor but happy person. I'm a "little heavy" or "big boned". I'm a nice person and nice people don't get angry. Who put those labels on me? I did! Well, not anymore. Those labels are ripped up and in the trash!
Putting your stories to question is what Katie calls The Work and it is powerful stuff. There are four questions and a turn around that make up the work. Here's an example. Let's say that I'm frustrated because I can't pay my bills and buy the things I want. And with introspection I realize that I hold this belief or story: I'm an English major, so I'll never make any money. So the first thing that Byron Katie's book says to do is to ask this simple question: Is it true? I majored in English so I'll never make any money. Is that true? My first reaction might be to say Yes! Look around — who gets the big salaries? Engineers and lawyers and computer programmers. English majors do not make the list.
OK, the second question is this: Can you absolutely know that it is true? The answer is No, of course not. I can't say that no English majors ever made lots of money. Lots of people get English degrees and they have all the money they need to buy what they want. it feels true in my case, but I cannot absolutely say that it's true for everyone.
The third question is: What happens when you believe (whatever your belief is) that English majors never make any money? Well, I get upset and resentful. I feel stupid that I ever got not one but two English degrees! If no one ever makes any money, why even bother to teach it? They should only allow people who want to be engineers and programmers to go to college. The rest of us should just go ahead and enter the service industry since that's where we'll end up and better to not be saddled with student loans, right?!
The fourth question is: Who would you be without that thought? Huh?. What kind of question is that? Who would I be? You think that I can just decide to stop thinking that thought? No I can't! And then you begin to wonder….. who could I be if I didn't think that thought? If I really stopped thinking that I was going to be poor for the rest of my life because of what I studied in college, what could happen? I could be a successful writer or teacher or anything!
When you are ready, you turn the statement around: Because I studied English in college, I'm bound to make a ton of money. Can you think of any examples? Well, um, Stephen King was an English major. He did OK for himself. There was that professor I had for Romantic poetry, he lived in that beautiful old house and played golf every weekend.
You can turn it around again and again: Since I studied English, I am not bound to follow one career path. I'm not locked in to teaching or writing! I can open a restaurant or start a gardening business. I could be a freelance writer. Being an English major allowed me to be open to new experiences and to avoid the deadly 9 to 5 desk job!….. The turn around allows you to bring your personal power to the process.
Three years ago I knew I wanted something more from my life. I was bored with my work, tired of being broke and in debt, tired of being overweight, just tired of it all. Like millions of people, I watched The Secret and while I could tell there was a glimmer of something there, I was really turned off by what felt like the crass money grubbing of many of the speakers. At times I felt like it was a big Amway sales pitch. But I believed that the Universe had more in store for me; I just needed to figure out what and how.
I discovered Louise Hay and the teaching of Abraham. Then finally, it all began to click when I started reading Suze Orman's books. I realized that I could have all these rich and abundant thoughts but until I got my finances in order, no money was going to flow to me because at the heart, I had lack. I desperately wanted money, felt like I needed more money to solve my problems. And that was not true. Not true at all. Once I sat down and really looked at my financial situation, once I wrote out a budget and stuck to it, my lack went away. No, I didn't win the lottery or anything. But I did find that I made enough money to cover all of my bills and I made enough money to pay down my debt. I just had to stop living like I was someone else. I had to stop spending like I was someone else.
So, who am I today? Who is this person without that limiting story about being a broke English major? I have a hefty amount of money in the bank, in case of emergency. I have a plan to be completely debt free by the time I hit age 50. My job has become interesting again because I'm bringing something new to the table every day. I've lost 50 pounds by exercising three or four times a week and I have this fun little website where I get to share my thoughts with the world. I am one lucky person. Good thing I didn't go to Law School like my mom wanted, eh? Who knows what dead end job I'd have then!

Meet The Architect
Saket Sethi, Principal Archilogics design:
Saket Sethi has a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Woodbury University, Los Angeles, and studied Digital Design at University of California, Berkeley, USA, and Interior Design at New York University.Saket has been a renaissance man juggling his careers of being a model and a practicing Artist while working full time. Saket was responsible for instituting tie-ups with a San Francisco firm and successfully bagged competitive projects for 3G, Birla, Bombay Dyeing, Firmenich, Bhutel-Mauritius & Siemens before founding Archilogics in 2005 with then partner, Rupali Saple.
His work ethic is to psycho analyze creatively and present a solution that meets a project's internal needs. Most of the times the process is invisible and each resulting project is completely different from the other. He calls it 'contextual eclecticism'. Archilogics has developed a strong and diverse portfolio of clients ranging from Aditya Birla Group, Varun Shipping to Shilpa Shetty and Raveena Tandon.
About the Room
For Varun's room a design which he wouldn't normally conceive himself but yet have it be something that he would want if he could conceive it, was needed. Color and the brief dictated the first responses: change the Color, brighten and expand the room by making it more positive.
Varun is a muscle car junkie and loves his Mustang GTs and his Shelbys and he's very inspired by this collection of cars that he has. Hence, his bed was inspired by car detailing and hence a silver duco for his bed was chosen. The head board has pleats but the central portion of the head board is inspired by car seating. The criss- cross detail is picked up from one of the mustang GTs.
The background to the bed board is a wall which is just exposed brick so that it does not interfere with the design of the bed. Some of the random shelves are for his car collection, but he can change it and do other things with it later.
In the far corner there is a mirror to amplify the amount of light we have in the room and the frame s reflects the same detail we have on the quilting of the car seat. The lighting can be modified from bright to dim lighting with just a flick of a switch to change the mood.
Since Varun was heavily inspired by music and MJ was his role model, his favorite icon MJ was painted on the door such that MJ stays with him whenever Varun i is in his room. His father, Mr Sunil Gogia, who is a spray paint artist, designed it as a tribute to his son.
The room is primarily a neutral white to grey which is essentially a background to the colour, accents in the room, like the Mondrian design on the signature Asian Paints wall. The wooden flooring from Symphony and the bright yellow King chair, also inspired by sports cars, is custom made by Surprise Home Linen.
Tips from Varun's room's makeover
• Make your room look larger and more spacious by installing a mirror near the natural source of light, such that the mirror reflects the light and the outdoors give the illusion of added space.
• Another illusion of space comes from replacing your regular sized windows with French windows, such that enough light and nature form a part of your room.
• Give your room a zen, earthy feel by using wooden flooring. Enhance it, by mounting flooring on the ceiling too. Remember to use two different colours of wood, one slightly darker and the other lighter, to prevent your room from looking monotonous and overbearing!
• A white board finishing on your wardrobe would work excellently to remind you of your to-do list for the week!
• Grey is the new black. It is emerging as a very strong trend and is the perfect colour to offset colour pops in your room. Varun's king chair would simply be a loud yellow seat if not for its grey elements.

Six months after the public learned that California state parks officials had concealed $20 million even as they were crying poor and closing parks, one crucial issue remains foggy as ever:
Were any crimes committed, and if so, will anyone be held to answer?
The state attorney general's investigation into the secret funds, released Jan. 4, made it clear that $20.5 million was kept hidden in the State Parks and Recreation Fund (SPRF). The fund is the primary collection point for all visitor fees paid at the 278 parks in the California Department of Parks and Recreation system. Another $33 million, held in the Off Highway Vehicle Fund, was not intentionally hidden, according to the report, but was obscured nonetheless by complexities in managing that fund.
The investigation also revealed that, although the amount of the hidden funds varied over time and originally piled up because of budgeting errors, numerous high-ranking officials at parks headquarters in Sacramento made a decision to keep the money concealed from state finance officials for as long as 13 years.
"It is clear," the investigation states, "that by no later than 2003, and perhaps as early as 1999, the failure to accurately report all SPRF monies became conscious and deliberate."
This finding raises the specter of criminal conduct, according to several legal experts interviewed by The Bee. And many state parks advocates – who opened their own wallets and volunteered time to keep parks open – are waiting for answers to this question.
"If there is evidence that crimes were committed, they should be prosecuted," said Daniel Winkelman, a retired state parks ranger who lives in Folsom. "It's as simple as that."
The attorney general's office did not review whether any crimes were committed. It conducted only an "administrative" investigation in response to a request from the Governor's Office, said Richard Stapler, a spokesman for the Natural Resources Agency, which oversees state parks.
Officials at the Natural Resources Agency initially said they would review the attorney general's investigation for signs of criminal conduct, then refer the investigation to the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office, which would be responsible for bringing any criminal charges.
Now Stapler says the Natural Resources Agency will depend upon the attorney general to share its investigation with the district attorney.
"We do not have criminal attorneys working for us," Stapler said. "We need to have it reviewed through that lens of someone who does criminal prosecution in order to make any type of public determination."
Linda Gledhill, a spokeswoman for the attorney general, said her agency planned to formally share its investigation with the district attorney "in the next few days."
Several former officials at state parks have admitted, in testimony released by the attorney general, that they chose to keep quiet about the surplus money over many years.
Some cited a concern that if they informed the Department of Finance about the money, the parks department's general fund budget allocation would be reduced by an equal amount the next year, potentially harming park operations.
Others said they considered the surplus money a "rainy day fund." They told investigators they hoped this money could be used to support parks, like a safety net, in the event a natural disaster slashed visitor revenues.
These choices violate numerous state administrative policies, as well as sections of the Government Code, which require employees to file accurate reports and to reconcile, or explain, inconsistences between accounts reported to the controller and the finance department.
Shaun Martin, a law professor at the University of San Diego, said a key criminal statute that may have been violated is Penal Code section 424.
This law makes it a felony if a public official "knowingly keeps any false account" or "fraudulently alters, falsifies, conceals, destroys or obliterates any account." It ascribes mandatory prison terms of two to four years and bars the guilty party from ever holding public office again.
"I think the prosecution would have a decent shot at getting a conviction," Martin told The Bee. "There are other statutes you could potentially charge them with, but this one, I think, would be the strongest."
He said bringing charges under this law, however, will be complicated: Penal Code section 424, itself, is the subject of an evolving legal debate.
The debate stems from a case in Sutter County that is similar, in some ways, to the parks scandal.
The Sutter County auditor-controller was indicted by a grand jury in 2005 for allegedly misappropriating funds, and charged with violating Penal Code section 424. Just as in the state parks case, no money was embezzled or spent on anything improper. The auditor-controller simply allocated money in a way that conflicted with the wishes of the county administrator and the board of supervisors.
The case found its way to the California Supreme Court in a legal battle over the limits of section 424, an element of the state criminal code that dates to the 1880s.
The dispute the court considered was a longstanding tenet of law, which holds that ignorance of the law does not excuse criminal behavior. In other words, if you punch someone in the face, you can be convicted of assault even if you didn't know that punching someone is a crime.
In its 2011 ruling in the Sutter County case, known as Stark v. Superior Court, the California Supreme Court turned this basic legal concept around. It concluded that where Penal Code section 424 is concerned, ignorance of the law may, in fact, be an acceptable defense. A government official who misappropriates money or refuses to transfer money as ordered may not be guilty of a crime if he acted in "good faith" and did not know the actions were unlawful.
"Public officials and others should not be criminally liable for a reasonable, good faith mistake regarding their legal responsibilities," the court wrote in its unanimous opinion. "Nor is section 424 intended to criminalize ordinary negligence or good faith errors in judgment."
The decision could make prosecuting state parks employees under this section of the Penal Code more difficult. A prosecutor may have to prove the employees knew the law – and knew they were breaking it.
"It's an interesting area of law right now, because the Supreme Court has given us this hybrid intent kind of a crime that doesn't exist anywhere else," said Carl Adams, the Sutter County district attorney who is prosecuting the auditor-controller. The case is still pending before the local superior court. "Exactly how we define that difference – those cases will resolve over the next decade."
His adversary, Sacramento attorney M. Bradley Wishek, represents Robert Stark, the Sutter County auditor-controller, who has been re-elected by voters twice since the 2005 indictment. Wishek asserts that Stark never did anything unlawful, and believes the Supreme Court ruling means it will not be possible for a jury to find Stark guilty.
"When the law is so complex that reasonable minds could differ, then we have to ask: If you guess wrong, does that mean you committed a felony?" Wishek said. "According to the Supreme Court, it doesn't."
Significantly, there is one clause in Penal Code section 424 where the Supreme Court did not make this conclusion. It is the clause that states a government employee who "knowingly keeps any false account" is guilty of a felony.
This may be the clearest parallel to what happened in the state parks scandal. Martin, the San Diego law professor, said the Supreme Court ruling left nothing to quibble over here.
"Under this clause, ignorance of the law is no excuse," he said. "If you know that your account is false, you're guilty – period."
It then becomes a choice by the prosecutor whether the behavior is egregious enough to warrant criminal charges and possible prison time, Martin said. The Sacramento County district attorney will have to decide whether to make an example of the parks employees.
"I think it's the right call to make things like this illegal," Martin said. "But is it morally desirable to impose penalties on someone for making mistakes like this? It's the prosecutor that has the hard choice to make in a case like that, not the jury."

34-year old actress and "Mula sa Puso" star Claudine Barretto has been accused with alleged drug use with picture and video evidence provided by her husband Raymart Santiago on Tuesday.
After dodging already numerous accusations of his estranged wife, 40-year old actor gathered the guts to take a step in revealing the actress' side. Filed before the Marikina Regional Trial Court, Raymart issued a counter-affidavit relating to Claudine's supposed drug use in counter towards the cases bombarded against him by Claudine.
Claudine and Raymart have been married ever since March 2006 and they have two children, biological son Santino 6 and adopted daughter Sabina 9. Claudine is working to make the temporary protection order (TPO) against Santiago, which focuses on the alleged physical, economic, psychological and sexual abuse she suffered from her husband, a permanent order. This case was filed late August against Raymart for his also alleged violation against the Anti-Violence against Women and Their Children (VAWC) Act of 2004. According to the actress, these abuses date back to the year 2002.
Raymart's 30-page counter-affidavit includes answers against Claudine's accusations dealing with over 40 accounts in his defense and testimonies from Claudine's three older siblings, Marjorie, Gretchen, and JJ, who have also been estranged from Claudine and their parents ever since their controversial family feud which was uncovered earlier this year.
Cited in Raymart's account are the thoughts by Claudine's siblings who all supposedly believe that Claudine is mentally ill and needs professional help. Also stated was Raymart's alleged statement of being a victim towards domestic violence.
"Ayaw ko sana pag-usapan 'yon, pero kinakailangan eh. Kinakailangan ko na sumagot. Siguro para na rin sa mga anak ko, to protect them," Raymart told ABS-CBN, emphasizing his point of how he wants to gain his children under the power of custody.
Claudine's supposed condition
During the incident in late August, Raymart already gave hints towards Claudine's supposed condition when he gave criticisms towards the actress' parents, Miguel and Inday, for allegedly not attending Claudine's mental well-being.
"Kay mommy at daddy, alam niyo ang totoo. Tayo-tayo ang nag-uusap dati, 'yung problema ni Claudine. Alam niyo and sana panindigan nila 'yung sinabi nila dati sa akin," was the comment Raymond gave at the moment.
In the actors' sworn statement he includes videos and photos which is supposedly firm proof towards his wife's alleged drug abuse. Included in the statement are medical records which show positive in Claudine's drug test an admission to a drug rehabilitation center.
More comments from the Barretto family are from the time of the family's public feud in April as Gretchen and JJ brought up Claudine's supposed 'illness' with also a comment by JJ that she was put in a hospital for a time.
JJ also responded to Inday's move of disowning Gretchen in favor of her youngest daughter by making a statement where he talked about the 'truth' about Claudine's 'condition'.
"May I remind you that it was you and dad who had her put in a hospital because you wanted to save her from destroying herself. Yes, Claudine is going through rough times. Again. And if you truly love her, then you should take concrete steps to save her rather than hitting Gretchen simply because she is standing up to Claudine," was the comment JJ made in April.
'Facts' toward the whole
Atty. Ruth Castello, Raymond Santiago's legal counsel, made a comment on Tuesday that his client was "forced" into making the detailed account because of the bombardment of cases filed against him by Claudine.
"Napilitan na si Raymart eh. Napilitan na 'yung kliyente namin na maging matapang dahil sa mga nangyayari. Syempre ayaw naman niya na pinagbibintangan siya ng kung anu-ano. Ini-impute lahat sa kanya ng mga nangyayari, pinapalabas na kasalanan niya kaya napilitan na siyang magsabi ng totoo," she said.
Castello continued her statement as she was pushed to comment on the gravitiy of Raymart's sworn statements "We just stated facts. We just countered the allegations detailed by their camp. Those are all facts." She said as it also included Barretto's supposed drug abuse.
"Everything that we wrote in the counter-affidavit is according to him, and these are all facts supported by evidence. Makikita naman do'n, lahat 'yon may ebidensya," she concluded.
As a response to Raymart's accusations on Tuesday, Claudine's legal counsel, Atty. Jun Mataro, also had a comment to put into the argument with saying that the real question is not whether the actress has or has not been using drugs, but if she was abused by the actor which was detailed in the VAWC case is the real issue.
To be formally answered towards Raymart's affidavit, Claudine's camp with respond on October 8. As an actress, Claudine planned to make a comeback on Kapamilya TV soon; will these issues affect her popularity and face as a star?

Voters in Georgia's 12th Congressional District are asked to send a "new, conservative voice to Congress." What we really need is a voice in Congress – one that will represent us fairly and intelligently.
We're given, as an option, electing Lee Anderson. Sadly, Anderson appears to have no voice. He does not speak at all anymore. A spokesman for his campaign does all the talking. Who will be moving his lips in Washington? Does this mean an unelected staffer will be speaking for him and for us?
In a season in which there is far too much seriousness in the political arena, it's good to see occasional humor injected into the process.
U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, a physician, recently drew attention for a speech to a church group in which he denounced evolution and other scientific theories as "lies straight from the pit of hell." To counter, a group rallied Friday in the Athens Republican's hometown to urge a write-in vote in the 10th District congressional race for Charles Darwin.
In a video making the rounds on the Internet, a woman giddily compares her first time voting for Barack Obama to the choice of a first sex partner.
It was a tad vulgar and drew immediate, unflattering and often hilarious comparisons of the two acts.
But it also made me remember my first experience voting, and I wondered about how others remembered it. I raised the question on Facebook, and the recollections were similar to my own – clear, but not very sexy.
"A compassionate government keeps faith with the trust of the people and cherishes the future of their children."
– Lyndon B. Johnson
When I was a kid, my family would watch black and white horror movies together on Halloween. During commercials, my parents would exchange tales of ghosts and, supposedly, occult occurrences my relatives had witnessed over the generations.
I strongly urge Columbia County residents to vote for Lee Anderson for representative of Georgia's 12th Congressional District. He is the only candidate who will work with Mitt Romney to stop reckless spending, pay down our debt and repeal and replace Obamacare.
This editorial page has made it clear that we believe voters should reject Amendment 1, the charter schools question, which would allow state officials to grab control of public education from local communities and their elected leaders.
The issue might seem complicated. That's why Craig Spinks, founder of Georgians for Educational Excellence, deserves praise for bringing both sides together to debate.
"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
– Matthew 5:16
In 1971, when my husband's military assignment changed from Vietnam to Fort Gordon, our reunited family was about to move into our first-ever newly built home. I had been to Georgia a few months earlier, found a nearly completed house in the Idylwilde Subdivision in Evans, and had the pleasure of making all the interior décor decisions myself. That was another first for me.
Though the Greeks thought of "hubris" as an act of arrogant pride that invited divine retribution, our modern view tends more toward the Biblical "pride goes before a fall": the overconfidence of a person in a position of power that precedes his or her own demise.
That's where Georgia's Democratic Party found themselves after the 2000 Census. They could see the state trending Republican, but were so overconfident that they felt comfortable pushing the limits of their authority.

MASHPEE — As the Senate considers a tribal-state gaming compact today, an environmental report says that a Mashpee Wampanoag casino would generate $511.8 million per year in overall revenue.
The estimate is included in an Environmental Notification Form, prepared by Epsilon, a consultant conducting the environmental review of the Taunton project for the tribe.
That figure includes all revenue, not just casino money, a tribe source confirmed. It is also based on the five-year build-out of the $500 million casino, hotel and water park complex.
The project is also expected to generate an estimated $836.5 million in total economic benefit for the state during construction, according to the report, although, again, the revenues are not broken down.
Under the terms of the compact under consideration by the Senate, the state would receive 21.5 percent of the gross gambling revenue from the casino. How much of the $511.8 million per year would come from gambling is not specified in the report and has not been made public.
The House approved the compact last week.
The tribe still faces federal hurdles in getting land in Taunton taken into federal trust for a casino, a requirement of federal Indian casino laws. It seeks 170 acres in Mashpee for specific government and housing uses and 146 acres in Taunton for a casino. The application is for an "initial reservation" for the tribe, which gained federal recognition in 2007.
In a copy of the land-into-trust application obtained Monday by the Times, several key aspects are missing including the tribe's business plan and an expert report on the tribe's historic links to Taunton. The application has a placeholder that states "to be submitted."
Also missing is how the tribe will clear its most significant hurdle — overcoming a 2009 Supreme Court ruling known as the "Carcieri decision" that called into question the ability to take land in trust for tribes recognized after 1934. The tribe's "Carcieri report," which will outline why the tribe believes the ruling does not apply, also is listed as "to be submitted."
The Indian casino law requires a gambling facility to be within 50 miles of a tribe's home base. A Google map provided in the application to show Mashpee's distance from Taunton charts it over Buzzards Bay at 35 miles. The drive to Taunton from tribal headquarters in Mashpee is 45 miles, according to an online search.
Though an expert report is not yet included in the application, the tribe does give some hint as to how it will make historic and modern ties to the city. "Taunton is located in modern-day Southeastern Massachusetts — an area indisputably within the tribe's aboriginal territory and to which the tribe has strong historical ties," the application states.
The application also points out that 1,584 of the tribe's 2,600 members live within 50 miles of Taunton. "Under current economic conditions, that distance is well within the range that many tribal members commute to secure employment," the application states.
A spokesman for the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development said the state just received the land-in-trust application and is still reviewing it.

Why You Should Really Be Angry About Fannie/Freddie
by Barry Ritholtz - December 18th, 2010, 1:18pm
One of the reasons I chastise idealogues like Peter Wallison is that while they are busy chasing their white whales, they ignore real issues. Important things that don't fit neatly into their dogmatic driven narratives.
While they are fantasizing about laying the blame for the credit crisis on the GSEs, they are missing all the really bad stuff that is actually happening with them: The banks have been selling their near junk loans and bad debt to Fannie/Freddie at full price, then having the GSEs take the write down.
In other words, the GSEs have become a backdoor bailout for failed bank policies.
I will have more on Monday, but in the meantime, have a gander at these prior posts:>
• Fannie And Freddie And the Backdoor Bank Bailout (May 12, 2010)
• GSEs: $1 Trillion Dumping Ground for Bad Bank Loans (Jun 14, 2010)
• Backdoor Bailouts for Goldman Sachs? (Mar 6, 2009)
• Which Banks Got Fed Loans During the Meltdown? (Dec 3, 2010)
• Fannie / Freddie Acquitted (Sep 22, 2010)
Always remember when investigating these things: Follow the money!

Here is what I don't get. Don't NAR and NAHB(and their ilk) want Fannie and Freddie to exist? Otherwise not as many homes would get built and they'd make less profit. And yet NAR, and NAHB, are the type of places that contribute to propaganda outfits like AEI. So what gives?

"While they are fantasizing about laying the blame for the credit crisis on the GSEs, they are missing all the really bad stuff that is actually happening with them: The banks have been selling their near junk loans and bad debt to Fannie/Freddie at full price, then having the GSEs take the write down.

For sure, but at the same time we the people are fantasizing about laying the blame for the credit crisis entirely on the banks.
Its true the GSEs exacerbated the crisis, and its true that the banks are the next layer of exploitation and moral hazard below that.
But then look a little deeper and one finds the moral hazard of deposit insurance, which has been festering fror 80 years.
Deposit insurance is a de-facto bank bailout implemented many many decades ago and now we are surprised that they – the banks – have profited from that.
This is not to excuse the criminal behaviour of financial institutions recently but what leaves a really bad taste in my mouth is that so much of criticism or banks totally ignores the benefits to individuals (and arguably, society) from 80 years of risk free returns for doing nothing more productive than simply putting one's money in a bank.
Its hypocrisy. We decided to award ourselves, mom and pop savers, the benefit of risk free savings earning a risk free real return, and now we are SHOCKED, SHOCKED, that it has blown up in our faces and we have been fleeced by banks.
Its quite simple: either you have free banking and some kind of gold standard or a fiat emulation of it with all the periodic bank failures, sovereign defaults and loss of mom and pop savings that this entails, or you have a system of nominal risk free money and bonds backed by printing presses, in which case the yield on bank deposits has to be at or near zero.
You cannot have your cake and eat it, and if you try, some bigger fish will eat you first.

Damn Little Cat's Feet
The whole problem was that everyone thought the American dream was to own a home.
It really is to rent a home, which so many unemployed citizens now get to do.
As BR and Deep Throat said- "Follow the Money" This was all pure greed and Main Street is littered with dead homeowers.
carleric says:
It seems to me that there is plenty of blame to share. The GSEs aren't blameless, the US Congress and Administrations lapped up the lobbying $'s from the GSEs and let them run unfettered, financial institutions created and sold products, under false premises, to the willfully ignorant or the mentally challenged and borrowers driven simply by greed and stupidity bent over and spread them for the lenders in the hope that they too could get rich. There are no innocent players here.
"The whole problem was that everyone thought the American dream was to own a home."
Nope, everyone thought the American Dream was about making money. It has always been about that.
Homes were a means to an end in that sense.
Again, are we really shocked, shocked that having built a civilisation that is based upon the distribution of goods and services via the general price level (and still is to a 99% approximation, despite the various corruption pustules and notwithstanding the revisionist bleating about true-capitalism(TM) ), that our civilisation comes to be dominated by money, moneymen, and dreams of money?
This blog is a blog about money (OK, occasionally about technology and media too, but normally from a value perspective). It is not a blog about gardening.
Ironic then, isn't it, that while we are all banging on about the money issues we face and how to deal with the robbery we have been subjected to, that money as we actually think of it is dying its final little death? Despite all the fear that this process generates, given all the above I feel it can only be a good thing once all the pros and cons are netted, as long as no-one does anything really stupid.

GSE's as another backdoor bailout for banks?
What exactly is a banker anyway? Gamble at Vegas, blow up, take a big bonus, go back for more gov't money, gamble at Vegas. If you win, take a big cut on top of your bonus. If you lose, take a big bonus.
So is a banker's job to gamble and have fun? Sign me up!!!
DL says:
"the GSEs have become a backdoor bailout for failed bank policies"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
No doubt that's true. All the more reason not to have a Fannie/Freddie with any government guarantees. Or perhaps a middle ground would be to have the government explicitly guarantee Fannie/Freddie debt at 50 cents on the dollar; coupled with restraints on the amount of leverage that they can take on.
Mark E Hoffer says:
you go with: "…This blog is a blog about money…. It is not a blog about gardening…"
are you saying that 'Gardening' has nothing to with Economics?
"…Burpee adapted European seed stock for growing conditions in the United States and grew W. Atlee Burpee & Co. into the largest mail-order seed company in the nation. These days, the business is enjoying a growth spurt—a 20 percent sales increase last year and at least another 20 percent projected this year—as more people turn to home vegetable gardening to save money at the supermarket.
"Whenever the economy is down, we see a spike in seed sales," says Ball, citing an upsurge of first-time gardeners. "For every dollar you invest in a garden, you get an average of $25 worth of store-bought produce, so it's an excellent return. Plus, you can't buy that kind of flavor at the grocery."…"
"…Hard economic times are acting like instant fertilizer on an industry that had been growing slowly: home vegetable gardening.
Amid the Washington talk of "shovel-ready" recession projects, it appears few projects are more shovel-ready than backyard gardens. Veggie seed sales are up double-digits at the nation's biggest seed sellers this year…"

maybe, w/this: "that money as we actually think of it is dying its final little death?", you're more accurate than you might expect(?)

President "Bobby": Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives?
[Long pause]
Chance the Gardener: As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.
President "Bobby": In the garden.
Chance the Gardener: Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.
President "Bobby": Spring and summer.
Chance the Gardener: Yes.
President "Bobby": Then fall and winter.
Chance the Gardener: Yes.
Benjamin Rand: I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by the seasons of our economy.
Chance the Gardener: Yes! There will be growth in the spring!
Hoffer, you prove my point for me. Your gardening quotes are peppered with money and economy references.
Gardening is about growing food or pretty flowers, and about worms, soil acidity, greenfly and so on.
Economics is about trading said harvest.
rootless says:
@Liminal Hack:
Saving money, which has other sources like salaries and wages from selling your own labor force to an employer, is not the same as investing money to make money. So, I'm quite fine with the existence of a deposit insurance provided by the government to protect savings, while letting bondholders, or investors generally, take the losses, if their risky investments fail. If you don't like it, not my problem.
Pobrito says:
Mr. Ritholz
It seems that your defense of the GSEs is weak in one critical area.
If one grants that the exotic excesses started on Wall Street, then why is it that at the height of tha mania and also now the GSE's are participating in it? Why did they then and why are they now taking on all this toxic paper?
Did someone put a gun to the GSEs' collective heads to take on this junk? If you say it was the politicians who made them do it, then all the more reason the GSEs should be disbanded. They are acting as a conduit to bail out Wall Street. It is a malfunctioning organization. To me, it seems, that without the GSEs taking on this toxic paper, there would have been less overall excess as Wall Street would have less outlets for their paper. Wall Street would have had serious second thoughts knowing that they may have to eat these loans.
What am I missing?
BR: Three things:
1) I am not defending the GSEs — i have been a critic, and we were short them heading into the the collapse. What i HAVE said was the arguments blaming the crisis on them fail to prove that claim, while lots of other blame is well documents and supported by empirical data.
2) It has been well established by evidence, testimony, etc. that the GSEs jumped into the subprime market late (2005-07) because they HAD LOST MARKET SHARE TO WALL STREET. This was a private sector decision by company management.
3) Now, the GSEs have become the only mortgage game in town — for ordinary securitization and mortgage repurchases, as well as a dumping ground for mortgages gone bad.
louis says:
Come on Liminal- Gardening and economics are the same thing.
Sechel says:
And the banks didn't cherry pick when deciding what to sell to Fanie/Freddie and what to retain? It's the nature of the beast to game the system. Frankly, I don't see how this can be stopped short of ending the current system.
haha, very good Louis!
- but when I talk about gardening, I am talking about growing plants, not using it as a euphemism for civilisation-husbandry.
One wonders how the ancient Egyptians that built the pyramids viewed the work they were undertaking as they hauled blocks of stone through the desert. Do you imagine they created for themselves an economic rationale for what they were doing, or do you think their reasoning was about matters not to do with economics, unless of course we are talking about the economics of eternal life?
Mark E Hoffer says:
speaking of Egyptians, travel North, and see– Greek root: oikos-nomos (oiko + nemein) which means "management of the household".
"Gardening", certainly, is withing the mein of Economics..whether to Trade one's Crop is, rather, a matter of Finance.
def. Finance 1. A branch of economics concerned with resource allocation as well as resource management, acquisition and investment. Simply, finance deals with matters related to money and the markets.
to your Q: "Do you imagine they created for themselves an economic rationale for what they were doing, or do you think their reasoning was about matters not to do with economics(?)
A: they, certainly, created an Economic rationalization, else nothing would have been done. the Financial case, obv., was more than suspect..
for a current ex. see Alberta's 'Tar Sands'..
laBear says:
Thanks Barry….let's hope the media gets more focused/educated on this as we don't need another Christmas eve funding like last year by Treasury to these GSEs…tired of fiscal policy being implemented through Treasury with no oversight/veto power.
Pobrito says:
Mr. Ritholtz
On your point…
2) It has been well established by evidence, testimony, etc. that the GSEs jumped into the subprime market late (2005-07) because they HAD LOST MARKET SHARE TO WALL STREET. This was a private sector decision by company management.
Yes, that is known. But so what? It sounds like you are making an excuse for them. How often have we often heard the defense, especially by children, "well he did it first!" But these weren't children. These are government sponsored entitites who were playing fast and lose with taxpayer money (as we now see from the bailouts). I have no sympathy for them.
BR:The question is "What caused the credit crisis."
The narrative from the far right is that government mandates forced FNM/FRE to buy subprime, aka low income loans. The reality is he GSE's management jumped in on their own
Understand the difference?
[...] Barry Ritholtz, "the GSEs have become a backdoor bailout for failed bank policies." (Big Picture) [...]
Wingnut says:
Hi, I'm really angry about this post, it makes my brain hurt. So I am going to repeat the same empty statements about the crisis being Fannie's fault, and then refuse to provide any data. As a kicker, I am going to accuse you of making an argument without using any data, even though you have exhaustively covered the subject with oodles of data, while I have yet to use one piece.
I feel better now. When's Rush on the radio?
Dow says:
Wingnut, your letters need to be bigger, all caps, in pretty colors. Otherwise your argument just isn't credible.
rktbrkr says:
Fannie offering virtual 100% financing on their foreclosure sales…kind of funny
Bill W says:
I think this is more proof that the TARP/bailout solution in 2008 was not free, and a resolution authority would have been worth the cost.
Pat Shuff says:
Fannie and Freddie amplified the housing boom by buying mortgages from lenders, allowing them to originate even more loans. DECIDING what to do with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the taxpayer-owned mortgage giants that helped set the financial crisis in motion, will be a huge job for Congress next year.
BR: Amplified? What a weasel word.
1) Fannie has been buying mortgages for 70 years (1938); Freddie since the late 1960s. — so GSEs have been "Amplfying" the housing boom for 70 years — Where is the sudden causation in 2008?
2) Fannie and Freddie were precluded from buying non-conforming loans — 2/28 ARMs, I/O, Neg Ams, etc.
3) They were even precluded from, buying subprime until 2006.
Please explain how under these circumstances they were a prime cause
AHodge says:
Always a question Which Berry's show up on this topic….
in this case both.
your May June completely contradict your "Fannie freddie Acquited"
but I completely agree CRA by itself is a piddle
ALL of govt, including Fannie freddie, low interest rates, and including their omissions (dereg)
is only worth a third or less of the drivers by my count
that aint a "prime cause"
but thats a weasel word,
they worth a good 10-15% for all their bubble building and guaranteeing discussed ad nauseum earlier
DeDude says:
First of all we should be really angry that F&F was privatized in a haze of ideologogism that (in spite of mountains of evidence to the contrary) state that the private sector will always do the job better no matter what the job is. Had they remained non-profit then they would never have gotten themselves away from the old model and their loses would have been minimal. Yet they would have been there as viable institutions that could take over the job of making affordable (i.e. you can get no more than what you can afford) housing credit available to everybody (after the private sector failed and collapsed).
DeDude says:
"They were even precluded from, buying subprime until 2006"
Yes just as the big boyz needed someone to get in and be the bag-holder when that subprime sh!t went south, a miracle happened. The GOPsters who had wanted F&F to get small enough to drown in a bathtub, suddenly thought it was a great idea to let them get in and compete in the subprime market. Almost looks like a plan to rob the taxpayers?

Though now dinner is over , and we sit out by the pool, you request the bathroom and Danny tells you the way , we sit and chat together , he is keen for this evening but neither of us have done this before.
My hand slides to his cock its big , hard and a damp patch of pre-cum is staining them I rub it softly .
I am concerned for you are taking a while and I fear you're lost or worse gone home . I send Danny to find you, kissing his lips and rubbing my hands over his designer stubble as he walks off ,a pang of jealousy runs through my body .I know already that he wants to make love to you as much as I do maybe more for he adores blondes. I finish my brandy. You have both been gone a little while and its now time for me to find you .
I head for the bedroom ,you are in his arms already kissing him full on the mouth and his hands are rubbing softly but passionately over the outside of your dress ,your hand is on his chest unbuttoning his shirt and my tummy churns at the sight of this beautiful blonde on his arms removing his clothes and being so willing . I walk over to you both and you feel my lips gently begin to lick on your neck as my hands find the zipper of your dress and slowly begin to tug it down ,sliding it off your shoulders you shrug it off quickly and move closer to Dannys' chest pressing your firm breasts against him.
My hands flick open the fastener on the pretty lacy bra you are wearing and you step back so Danny can see them , they are large and full your nipples tiny, tight but hard and wanting his tongue I slid my hands under them and lift them to his mouth he covers your breasts in tiny kisses the way he does mine and again the pangs of jealousy shudder my body .
Danny sits on the bed and pulls you to his lap his hands now caressing over you and your head is thrown back in enjoyment. I sit on the bedroom chair and watch as his head moves expertly over your body he licks at your thighs and parts them slowly so I get a glimpse of your pussie still covered in sheer panties , though not for long as Danny removes them with his teeth and tongue taking n agonizingly long time to do so .
My heart is in my mouth as he buries his head between your legs both of you forgotten that I am here intent on your own pleasure . I take my clothes off and sit back and watch touching at my nipples and rubbing gently at my clit as then I hear you moan that you are cumming and this is the part Danny loves the best so spreading you wide on the bed he moves his head to watch the throbbing and pulsing of your cunt loving the way you drip on his fingers He turns recalling I am there and offers me his fingers to lick , they taste sweet and musky and I want to lick your pussie too .
I join you on the bed and feel your hands reaching out to my tits ,they are also big and firm but my nipples are longer and dark and your fingers grab them , rolling them expertly between finger and thumb I sigh with relief for we will all enjoy this evening . Dannys' cock between us is hard and throbbing and he lies back his cock is big, about 8 inches and thick and he keeps his " manscaping" up so his balls are hair free , I dive down to them and begin to lick there ,they are full and I know he must be oozing pre-cum as you start to lick the shaft .
I can see your pink tongue swirling on the head and drilling in to his slit and hear him moaning with pleasure , he cannot last long with this my hot licking alone has him blowing his load fast enough he must me raging at the feelings of his wife and a stunning blonde giving his cock their utmost attention .
I notice his hands are on ur nipples and slip my fingers to your pussie sliding my fingers inside and I am in awe of your heat and tightness ... he is going to love fucking you .

NATCA President John Carr Calls Upon President Bush to Protect Air Safety - (11/20/2003)
WASHINGTON – The following statement was released today by National Air Traffic Controllers Association President John Carr:
"Time is running out for President Bush to demonstrate leadership on the issue of air safety. And time is running out for the American flying public which has overwhelmingly rejected privatizing air traffic control. We hope the Administration is simply not trying to run out the clock on this important issue. We find it particularly curious that FAA Administrator Marion Blakey tells the media again this week that she has no intent to privatize, yet won't even sign a letter requested by Congress stating just that. Clearly, there is a disconnect between the Administrator's words and her actions."
"For most of this year, Congress has tried to do the right thing and block the wholesale privatization of our air traffic control system. Both the House and the Senate passed language that protects every American who travels by air. But those efforts have been consistently thwarted by the FAA administrator who has undermined the will of the Congress and personally held up the FAA reauthorization – jeopardizing tens of thousands of jobs and critical air safety functions."
"Now, a bipartisan group of Senate leaders has pleaded with the FAA Administrator once again to break the logjam and allow them to do their jobs. Ms. Blakey's response…indifference and silence. It's odd that she has taken time out from running the world's largest air traffic control system to write opinion/editorial columns for newspapers from Chicago to Rhode Island, yet she's proven unwilling to even respond in a constructive manner to members of her own party."
"Press reports today reveal that the Administrator is trying to play with dates so she can be free to announce that she will privatize air traffic control next fall. While she may think that we don't understand that a day makes a difference, we do. We understand the legislative process and are disappointed that once again the FAA is trying to play games. The wool can't be pulled over our eyes that easily."
"Mr. President, we call upon you to show leadership on this issue and work with Congress to protect the safety of the flying public. It's time for everyone to stand up for safety…the clock is ticking."
