Tilda Swinton, the actress, Oscar winner, and endlessly intriguing screen presence, turns 55 today -- if you believe she has an age at all. Let's celebrate her provocative goodness with a quick recap of her seven essential roles. Jump to the bottom for a gallery of her finest onscreen looks. "I Am Love" A lot happens in "I Am Love" (including a bizarre death that still haunts me) but its most notable scene is an erotic version of "Babette's Feast." "Snowpiercer" Tilda has made a number of polarizing movies, and "Snowpiercer" is no exception. Her teeth and glasses may be its most dystopian elements. "Orlando" The definitive Tilda movie. "Orlando" is based on Virginia Woolf's complex text, and the film is one of the few in Tilda's filmography to rise to her peculiarity. She swaps genders, deals with some horrible dude characters, and looks ravishing in incredible period garments. "We Need to Talk About Kevin »

Coming to theaters in two weeks is director Ed Zwick's riveting Pawn Sacrifice.
It's the story of Bobby Fischer, America's foremost chess player, who faced the reigning champion, Boris Spassky of Russia, in a series of matches that held the world spellbound.
For fans of 1972's "Match of the Century," the film is everything you're hoping for. Zwick's movie is flawless right down to the re-enactment of the 1971 interview with Dick Cavett.
Bobby Fischer first makes waves in the elite world of chess as a 6-year-old whiz-kid from Brooklyn famous for his laser-like concentration and ability to dominate all challengers. By his teens, the boy wonder has gone from chess savant to international grandmaster, but his meteoric rise is punctuated by unpredictable personal behavior and escalating demands that raise hackles in the conservative chess establishment.

George Clooney was one of David Letterman's last guests in the in the final days of his tenure on CBS' "Late Show." Now Clooney will be among the first celebrities to grace the program under its new host, Stephen Colbert.
Colbert on Friday morning revealed via Twitter that the star of films including "Tomorrowland," "Michael Clayton" and "Ocean's Eleven" would be "my first-ever guest" when the new version of "Late Show" debuts on CBS September 8.
Colbert's announcement came a day after one of his biggest supporters, Jon Stewart, made his last appearance on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show." Colbert appeared on that program Thursday night, offering a few minutes of effusive praise for Stewart.
Clooney will give Colbert some celebrity power as he faces a tough crew of competitors. Viewers will be watching to see how Colbert, best known for playing a bloviating character on "The Colbert Report, »

The performance of an actor playing a villainous role can sometimes be the most interesting part of the film. This is an in-depth look at some of those performances which were awarded with an Oscar.
To get a good character in film, you have to develop that character. The audience needs to see the world through their eyes in order to understand their perspective and motivations. This is especially true with villains, which are arguably more difficult to develop than a traditional protagonist. Often times villains are given the short end of the characterization stick in any given film, which makes sense. It's not easy making an action that could hurt or harm other people seem logical, so many films don't put much effort into it. The audience recognizes a villain when they see one, and they know he is bad because of his actions, no matter how questionable they may be. »

Back in May, it was revealed that Jon Hamm and The Call's director Brad Anderson were attached to a political action thriller called High Wire Act. Now we know that Rosamund Pike will also be on board. Written by Michael Clayton's Tony Gilroy, the film is set in 1980s Beirut and finds Hamm as a former American diplomat returned to service to save an old colleague from the violent group believed to be responsible for his own family's death. And he'll have help from Pike, a CIA agent assigned to keep him alive and make sure the mission is a success.There's still no sign of when the film might kick off shooting, as it's still listed in development and both its stars' schedules are relatively busy. Hamm is at work on Greg Mottola's new comedy Keeping Up With The Joneses, and is »

After earning an Oscar nomination for her chilling portrayal of maybe-sociopath Amy Dunne in David Fincher's Gone Girl, Rosamund Pike has landed another role that may be worthy of her formidable talent. The actress has signed on to star opposite Jon Hamm in Brad Anderson's political thriller High Wire Act, which boasts a script by The Bourne Identity screenwriter Tony Gilroy.
Set in 1980s Beirut, the thriller will follow a former U.S. diplomat named Mason Skiles (Hamm) who is called back into action in order to prevent the murder of a former colleague from the group that may be responsible for his own family's death. Pike will take on the role of a CIA field agent working undercover at the American embassy, who makes it her mission to keep Mason alive and ensure his top-secret mission goes off without a hitch.

In Amy Schumer's new movie Trainwreck, Oscar winner Tilda Swinton is nearly unrecognizable as Dianna, the men's magazine editor boss to Schumer's character, also named Amy. Trading her normal porcelain skin and short platinum-blonde hair for a tanned exterior and wavy light brown bob with blonde highlights, Swinton, who's well-known for her dramatic roles in films like Michael Clayton and Snowpiercer, gets laughs for Dianna's indifference to both her S'Nuff employees' emotions and matter-of-fact attitude toward articles about things like "whether garlic makes semen taste any different." Swinton tells The Hollywood Reporter that after talking

Now this is what we call a movie transformation! Tilda Swinton stars in Amy Schumer's highly-anticipated comedy flick "Trainwreck" -- but we barely recognized her thanks to her makeover for the movie. The Oscar-winning actress is known for more serious roles in movies like "Michael Clayton", "The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button" and the "Chronicles Of Narnia" series, but jumped headfirst into her latest comedic role. The 54-year-old plays Amy's brassy no-holds-barred boss Dianna, who Tilda describes as the quintessential magazine editor. "We started talking about this magazine, which is such an important character in the film," she told toofab's Candice Brock. "It's the place where Amy works and it's the sort of atmosphere of cynicism and numbness that she's swimming in when we first meet her. So Diana is the founder of this magazine and we needed to think about who would be this woman who actually started this magazine. »

Ian McShane and Katie Holmes will join a stellar cast including Liev Shrieber and Jon Voight for season three of this often-overlooked family/crime drama
Take the sons of an ageing lowlife Boston hood and transport them to Hollywood. The premise is like Entourage reimagined by Dennis Lehane. But since 2013, Showtime's Ray Donovan has quietly built a reputation as a powerful family/crime drama. The criminal turned Hollywood fixer Ray (Liev Schreiber) is our focus as he mops up the messes of his Hollywood clients while dealing with the far more combustible conflicts in his shipwreck of a family. The show started on Showtime in the Us on Sunday and returns to Sky Atlantic tonight, bringing with it some of the strongest character acting around.

Academy invitee Eddie Redmayne in 'The Theory of Everything.' Academy invites 322 new members: 'More diverse and inclusive list of filmmakers and artists than ever before' The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has offered membership to 322 individuals "who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures." According to the Academy's press release, "those who accept the invitations will be the only additions to the Academy's membership in 2015." In case all 322 potential new members say an enthusiastic Yes, that means an injection of new blood representing about 5 percent of the Academy's current membership. In the words of Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs (as quoted in the press release), in 2015 "our branches have recognized a more diverse and inclusive list of filmmakers and artists than ever before, and we look forward to adding their creativity, ideas and experience to our organization." In recent years, the Academy membership has »

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced this week that the Los Angeles City Council, in a unanimous vote, approved plans for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Construction will begin this summer, and ceremonial groundbreaking festivities will occur this fall.
"I am thrilled that Los Angeles is gaining another architectural and cultural icon," said Mayor Eric Garcetti. "My office of economic development has worked directly with the museum's development team to ensure that the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will create jobs, support tourism, and pay homage to the industry that helped define our identity as the creative capital of the world."
"We are grateful to our incredible community of supporters who have helped make this museum a reality," said Dawn Hudson, the Academy's CEO. "Building this museum has been an Academy »

Strangely dropping a press release on a historic day where the nation's attention is elsewhere, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed their annual list of new member invitees this morning. For those who criticize the makeup of the Academy there was some good news and the stark realization the organization still has a long way to go. The Academy has spent the last eight to 10 years attempting to diversify its membership and this year's class mostly reflects that. There are significantly more invitees of Asian and African-American descent, but the male to female disparity is still depressing. Out of the 25 potential new members of the Actor's Branch only seven are women. And, no, there isn't really an acceptable way for the Academy to spin that sad fact. Additionally, It's important to realize the 322 people noted in the release have only been invited to join Hollywood's most exclusive club. »

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences continues to push for diversity, sending membership invitations to 322 individuals, including a healthy number of people who can help change the org's demos.
Among the invitees are David Oyelowo, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Felicity Jones, Emma Stone, Rosamund Pike, Bong Joon-ho, Justin Lin and Francois Ozon. The Academy has been reaching out to women, foreign-born artists and people of various races, ethnic backgrounds and ages.
Accusations of Academy bigotry surfaced yet again in January when the list of Oscar nominees included Caucasians in all 20 acting categories, and few women or racial minorities among the other categories. Director Ava DuVernay and actor David Oyelowo of "Selma" had seemed like strong contenders, giving many people hopes of breakthroughs. After initial anger at the Acad, activists began to shift their protests to industry hiring practices. For example, 323 films were eligible for 2014 awards — which means AMPAS should theoretically »

We knew Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) was going to star in Marvel's upcoming Doctor Strange movie, but we had no idea what character he would play. Last week came news Tilda Swinton was being courted to play the Ancient One, limiting the options for Ejiofor, but today we got our answer. Reported by Deadline, we now know he will be portraying the villain Baron Mordo opposite Benedict Cumberbatch's title character, and as with the Swinton's character, Ejiofor's version of Baron Mordo will be receiving a bit of tweaking. Deadline says Baron Mordo will be the amalgamation of a few different characters. Who those characters are and what changes exactly will be made aren't known at this time. In the comics, Baron Mordo is a former student of the Ancient One, like Strange. After plotting to kill the Ancient One, Mordo is stopped by Strange, thus becoming mortal enemies. »

If you're a sales company headed to the Cannes film market with a movie to push, it helps if you can put together a package including a couple of name actors and a director with some traction. Good Universe thinks it might be on to a winner with High Wire Act, a new action thriller that boasts Jon Hamm attached to the lead and The Call's Brad Anderson directing.And, as a bonus, the script comes from Michael Clayton's Tony Gilroy, once more bubbling up a politically infused tale of deception and danger. In this case, Hamm will be a former Us diplomat in 1980s Beirut who saw his family killed by a violent group. Now the same people are threatening one of his colleagues, and he'll have to be the one to save them. There's no schedule for the film to start shooting yet. »

With Mad Men's final episodes upon us, the show's star is looking up for his next film gig and now, he seems to have found it. Jon Hamm has signed on to star in High Wire Act, a political thriller written by Bourne Identity scribe Tony Gilroy.
Brad Anderson, the in-demand helmer behind Transsiberian, The Call and last year's Stonehearst Asylum, will take the reins on the pic, which is set in the tumultuous political climate of Beirut circa 1980. Gilroy, of course, wrote the scripts for all entries of the Bourne franchise as well as Michael Clayton, Duplicity and State of Play (the first two of which he also directed).
As per Deadline, Hamm is set to star as a former U.S. diplomat who must handle a case that requires the utmost professionalism but simultaneously conjures up personal demons: the kidnapping of a colleague by the »

Jon Hamm has signed on to star in Tony Gilroy's political action thriller "High Wire Act," with Brad Anderson directing for Ted Field's Radar Pictures.
Field, Gilroy and Mike Weber are producing. Good Universe is handling international sales.
"I'm thrilled the way the project's come together," Anderson said. "Jon Hamm was made to play the part."
The story is set in Beirut in the 1980s. Hamm will portray a former U.S. diplomat who is called back into service to save a former colleague from the group possibly responsible for his own family's death.
Hamm has been active in movies during the seven-season run of "Mad Men," which concludes May 17. He's appeared in "The Town," "Bridesmaids" and "Million Dollar Arm" and will be seen next year in Fox's "Keeping Up with the Joneses."
Anderson's previous films include "The Machinist," "Transsiberian" and "The Call" with Halle Berry. »

Venezuela is the most beautiful country in the world. Stunning Caribbean beaches, spectacular mountains, rainforests and the tallest waterfall in the world are just some of its features. It is always warm and the sun is always out. It is rich in natural resources like oil and gold. Even the people are beautiful - it has produced seven of the last 35 Miss Universes.
Unfortunately, what is happening right now in Venezuela is not beautiful.
Over the past few years, under the reign of Hugo Chavez and his successor Nicholas Maduro, Venezuela has become one of the most dangerous places in the world. In Venezuela, a country of 30 million, there is a homicide every 21 minutes. Last year alone, there were 24,700 violent deaths. These homicides are rarely investigated, and almost no one is ever tried.
The police are ineffective, and are often part of the crime itself. All of my family members, except for my grandmother have left the country due to security concerns, and my grandma forbids me from visiting her in fear that I might be killed.
Venezuelans have decided to speak out about what Chavistas are doing to the most beautiful country in the world. On Feb. 12, there was a rally of more then 10,000 Venezuelan students against Maduro and his mistreatment of Venezuela. Three people were killed, more the 60 were injured and dozens were arrested.
The state-run news channel reported that there were only 500 protesters and that they were part of a conspiracy to create chaos. The government has shut down Twitter to make it more difficult for people to organize and spread the truth. A Columbian news channel that has been reporting the truth into Venezuela has also been blocked.
The American media has not been reporting on what is happening in Venezuela, and many people are not aware of the struggle going on. The only way that the oppressive government can be overthrown is with worldwide support.
Please help spread the word. Post on social media with the hashtag prayforvenenzuela, and show the struggling people that they have your support.

Hi @Loic Bouquet,
Thanks for all of these suggestions. I've heard back from the Product Management team, and they wanted to address all of your ideas. Please see bold below:
- SFS could be a Media/Master Server for some customers without NetBackup infrastructure
This is being planned for FileStore 6.0 release
- Antivirus (SEP) could be managed by a SEP global console like a client
- When we create a Share, or enable a AntiVirus Scan, we could have a menu with the list of available FileSystems
Both Anti-Virus enhancement requests are being considered for the 6.1 release
- I see NFS4 is working on FileStore, but all mounts for NFS are done with '-no-ntf-version 4' parameter in the command. Why ? We need this version dor Q-Series for exemple (customer demand)
NFSv4 is currently not supported on the FileStore but it is being targeted for 6.1 release
- _nlm_ volume is very important in FileStore, even if we don't have NFS share. In case of crash of the first volume, we loose this part, and it's very difficult to recover it. Is it possible to have multiple copy of that partition ? on more than one volume ? Because, it's the first volume, often a test volume !
This is not currently on our roadmap, but we'll consider this requirement
- Only one node made the backup. But with 10TB of data's the backup is very long. Could we have more than one backup process ? In most of case, the FileStore has used during the day by customers, but the backup is between 9PM and 4AM... All node could participate to the backup, no ?
FileStore has two ways to backup the data 1) via traditional NDMP client (slow) or 2) via NetBackup SAN client (this is 10x faster and is multithreaded). I am not sure which client you are using to backup the data. It seems like you may be using the traditional NDMP client.
Thanks for participating in the community!

If you want to take a break from the smoggy, bustling city, Santa Barbara is where you need to be. It's no Hawaii, but it's a nice and atmospheric change from your usual life. Whatever you want to do, it's in your reach. Whether it be camping, surfing, shopping, wine tasting, or just plain roaming, it's all here. Just don't try to do everything in one day. I tried, its impossible.1 2 Share Tweet
My Most Memorable Travel Escapades of 2011: Santa Barbarawritten by kellysamuelson on 2012-02-02 in #world #locations
I LOVE Santa Barbara in December because it doesn't feel like December. Slip into your flipflops and cruise State St., Stern's Wharf and along the waterfront for some breathtaking landscapes. I lived her for five years so there is nothing more amazing to me than going home for a visit.2 Share Tweet

Finally, some good news for Terrelle Pryor. After word broke that Pryor had been driving all those cars of his on a suspended license, we learned on Thursday afternoon that Pryor can now drive any car he wants and not worry about breaking any laws. You know, in case he was ever worried in the first place. According to the Columbus Dispatch, Pryor had his driver's license reinstated on Thursday.
Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor's driving privileges were reinstated this afternoon.
The Buckeyes player visited an Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles office on Alum Creek Drive about 12:30 p.m. and provided proof he had vehicle insurance when he was stopped for a stop sign violation earlier this year.
The BMV, which suspended Pryor's license after he previously failed to prove he was insured, then immediately reinstated his driver's license, a spokesman said.
This is fantastic news for Terrelle. The kind that can only be celebrated in one way: a new car. Also, am I the only one who finds it rather funny that Pryor's license was suspended originally because of his failure to come to a complete stop after seeing video of him doing the exact same thing when leaving that Ohio State team meeting on Monday in that infamous Nissan of his?

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray arrives with edges sharpened
In a rational world, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray wouldn't exist. The very idea of launching a two-seat sports car named after a World War II ship powered by a truck-sized V-8 goes against every trend line on every chart in every automaker's boardroom. Yet here it is, the seventh generation of America's most venerated sports car, sharpened in all dimensions by racing experience toward out-hustling the best sports cars in the world. The question will be whether it can outrun history.
After 60 years of production, General Motors could have found ample reasons for waving the checkered flag at the Vette. Thanks to GM's bankruptcy, the Vette has soldiered on longer than it should have without a major update; GM sold 14,132 last year, well off the 30,000 a year it sustained for much of the past decade. New U.S. fuel economy rules hit sports cars head-on, demanding the same measure of efficiency improvements in hot rods as in compact family sedans.

Slideshow: 60 Years of Corvette History
On first view, the makeover wrought by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter and team appears evolutionary. Yet every piece of the car has either been re-engineered or updated, from the new all-aluminum frame to the sharper, "shrink-wrapped" exterior to the 6.2-liter, 450-hp, 450 lb.-ft. V-8. That engine can now be paired to an optional Tremec 7-speed manual, a GM first, that will automatically match the engine's RPMs to the anticipated gear in all shifts.
The biggest improvements come from applying modern electronic controls throughout the car for the first time. The Corvette will have five driving modes that alter 12 different systems, from the optional electronic limited-slip differential that's part of the Z51 track package to launch control. In "eco" mode, the all-new V-8 will shut off four cylinders for maximum fuel economy, while in "track" mode, Chevy engineers say the new Vette will pull more than 1 g of cornering force and run to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. (Chevy vows to release exact figures, including prices, closer to the car's launch this fall.)

The kids are alright. More than alright, in fact. Widely dismissed as a lost generation with few job prospects, towering student loans, and a bleak future, the so-called Millennials, most of whom have reached adulthood since 2000, could surprise America and the world in coming years with their economic might and spending power.
Industries from housing and autos to retailing and financial services could be transformed by their collective demands and desires, while their growing wealth, coupled with their doubts about the future of government entitlement programs, could usher in a new era of saving and a bull market for stocks.
Things haven't been easy for the members of this generation almost since the day musician Kurt Cobain, one of their patron saints, died in 1994. They've known two U.S. wars, mass shootings, terrorist attacks, the financial crisis, and the lean years since, which coincided for many with their graduation from college and frustrating attempts to launch themselves into adulthood and careers.
Yet the Millennials are far from the slackers the media and popular culture portray -- a generation of adult children living at home with Mom and Dad, texting away and refusing to grow up. The evidence suggests that their march up the career ladder hasn't been aborted so much as a delayed by economic circumstances and personal choice. Once they get going, however, and marrying, starting families, and moving into their high-earning years, their influence could approach that of their baby-boom parents.
FOR ONE THING, THE MILLENNIALS -- sometimes called Generation Y, and defined by many demographers as ranging from ages 18 to 37 -- make up the largest population cohort the U.S. has ever seen. Eighty-six million strong, it is 7% larger than the baby-boom generation, which came of age in the 1970s and '80s. And the Millennial population could keep growing to 88.5 million people by 2020, owing to immigration, says demographer Peter Francese, an analyst at the MetLife Mature Market Institute.
This echo-boom generation totals 27% of the U.S. population, less than the 35% the boomers represented at their peak in 1980. When the baby-boom generation drove the economy in the 1990s, growth in gross domestic product averaged 3.4% a year. As the Millennials hit their stride, they could help lift GDP growth to 3% or more, at least a percentage point higher than current levels.
The Millennials already account for an annual $1.3 trillion of consumer spending, or 21% of the total, says Christine Barton, a partner at the Boston Consulting Group, which defines this cohort as ages 18 to 34. As the economy pulls out of an extended period of sluggish growth, helped in part by this rising generation, annual growth in consumer spending is likely to revert to its long-term average of 3.5% to 4% from about 2% now. Likewise, consumer spending on durable goods could rise sharply.
The Millennial generation has already made a big mark on one industry: education. The number of students enrolled in college in the U.S. climbed by 30% from 2000 to 2011, helping to fuel a building boom on campuses across the country. But that's something many schools could regret in coming years, given the past decade's sharply declining birth rate.
Owing in part to the Millennials' surge, apartment demand is strong around the country. Housing could be the next major industry to benefit from their size and maturation, but Wall Street could reap the biggest rewards. The MY ratio, which compares the size of the middle-aged population of 35-to-49-year-olds with that of the young-adult population, ages 20 to 34, explains why.
Middle-aged folks have higher incomes than younger people, and a greater urgency to save for retirement. They invest their savings, which drives up stock prices. When the MY ratio is rising, meaning the older cohort outnumbers the younger, the stock market typically does well. The ratio has been falling since 2000, which has exerted a drag on stock prices.
Alejandra Grindal, a senior international economist at Ned Davis Research, notes the MY ratio will bottom in 2015 and then rise through 2029. It is one of several reasons the firm is bullish on stocks. According to financial-services providers, the Millennials already have started saving, spurred in part by fears that dwindling Social Security payments could make their retirements largely self-funded.
THE BABY BOOMERS FOUGHT IN VIETNAM -- and fought against the war there. They gave us flower power, rock 'n' roll, civil rights, The Feminine Mystique, and Bill Clinton. Having transformed the culture, they are now reinventing retirement -- as a second adolescence, but with worse knees.
Their children, who are also entering adulthood in fraught economic times, are highly educated, ethnically diverse, and team-oriented, says Neil Howe, an economist, historian, and author of several books on demographic and generational trends. They trust government, and voted for Democrats in the past three elections, sending President Obama to the White House twice.
They grew up in an era when children were rediscovered -- often in soccer uniforms in the back of a minivan. Child safety was a parental priority, and helicopter parenting became the norm in many families, facilitated by the ubiquity of cellphones, which encouraged constant communication. That alone separates the new generation from Generation X, which grew up as divorce rates soared. Gen Y, on the other hand, "is sheltered and expects to be sheltered," says Howe.
Millennial women could be a particularly powerful force in coming years, says Francese, and one that marketers ignore at their peril. They have more education than the men of their generation, and in about a third of marriages, they have higher incomes.
Above all, the Millennials are connected -- to the Internet and each other. They brought us Facebook and popularized YouTube, Twitter, and phrases like 24/7, which describes how much time they spend on the 'Net and personal electronic devices. Nielsen estimates that 74% of young adults between the ages of 24 and 34 own smartphones, up from 59% in mid-2011. According to Advertising Age, consumers in their 20s switch between communications platforms and devices 27 times per nonworking hour.
THERE IS NOTHING NEW about worrying about future generations. Chances are, even the cave parents did it. To be sure, many Millennials got a bum deal by coming of age during the great recession, but a multitude of statistics suggest their prospects are improving.
Take unemployment, which remains high for young adults between the ages of 20 and 24. Last month's 13.3% unemployment rate for this population was down, however, from January's recent peak of 14.2%.
As for those ages 25 to 34, the unemployment rate was 7.4% in March, below the national average of 7.6%, and well below 8.9% in January 2012. Dick Hokenson, an economist who heads ISI Group's Global Demographics Research team, says 25-to-34-year-olds have recovered almost 75% of the jobs they lost to the recession. "They're finding jobs; they're moving out and doing normal things," he says.
Again, the numbers tell a cautiously hopeful story. Nineteen percent of U.S. men ages 25 to 34 live with their parents, says Mark Mather, a demographer with the nonprofit Population Reference Bureau. But that is up only five percentage points from 2007. The percentage of 25-to-34-year-old women still living at home is 9.7, up from 9% in 2007.
There is almost $1 trillion of student debt outstanding in the U.S. today, which could limit the purchasing power of Millennials. "These people have a mortgage and no house," Francese says.
But here, too, total figures are misleading. The average student loan among Gen Y-ers is $25,000, and the median loan is nearly $14,000, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Less than 1% of student loans are larger than $100,000.
AS THE MILLENNIALS' EMPLOYMENT situation improves, more young adults living at home will pack their bags and move out. That could spur an increase in U.S. household formation, which turned negative in 2007-08. Since then, the number of newly created households has recovered to about a million a year, still well below an annual average of 1.5 million since the 1970s, according to Census Bureau data.
Greater financial security could mean an increase in the birth rate, which typically slumps during economic downturns. Francese sees the average birth rate for U.S. women rising to 2.1-2.2 in coming years from a depressed 1.9 recently. "A lot of Millennials put off having babies, and now they will get to work," he says.
That suggests they will also start buying homes. Pat Tschosik, a consumer strategist at Ned Davis Research, figures there will be more home buyers than sellers in the 12 years ending with 2019, giving the housing market a boost.
Robert Turner of Turner Investments agrees. "We're big believers in this housing recovery," he says, noting his firm has invested in Home Depot HD -0.6382662906338132% Home Depot Inc.

THE MILLENNIALS ALSO could have a big impact on Detroit, which saw annual vehicle sales plummet to 10.4 million in 2009 from an average of 17 million a year in the early to mid-2000s. This year sales are likely to recover to 15.3 million, before rising gradually to 17 million in 2017, says Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive, formerly a division of J.D.

From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Lawyers say law gives no authority to hire John Doe prosecutor, report says
Madison -- Three petitioners who have asked to stop a secret investigation into recall election fundraising are arguing there is no authority under state law to hire a special prosecutor for such a review, according to a conservative news outlet.
Citing anonymous sources, the Daily Caller reported Thursday that argument is being made by the three asking the Madison-based District 4 Court of Appeals to halt the John Doe investigation. Other arguments are also being made, but the report does not say what they are.
John Doe investigations allow prosecutors to work in secret while compelling witnesses to turn over documents and give testimony.
Sources have told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the investigation has spread to at least five counties and is looking at whether conservative groups such as the Wisconsin Club for Growth coordinated illegally with GOP candidates or others during the 2011 and 2012 recall races. In the most expensive contest, Gov. Scott Walker beat back an attempt by Democrats to remove him from office last year.
Madison attorney Dean Strang last week asked the Court of Appeals to halt the investigation. He is joined by Milwaukee attorney Matthew O'Neill and lawyers from Washington, D.C. and Kansas City, Mo., in making the request for the three unnamed petitioners.
The requests are sealed, so the exact legal theories they are advancing are unclear.
Strang filed his lawsuits just before Eric O'Keefe of the Wisconsin Club for Growth was quoted in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece saying he received a subpoena in October in the ongoing investigation.
The Wall Street Journal named an array of conservative organizations as being involved in some way, including Walker's campaign, business lobbying group Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the Republican Governors Association, Americans for Prosperity-Wisconsin and American Crossroads.
Sources confirmed for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that prosecutors had sought information from Walker's campaign and the Republican Governors Association. Walker's campaign has not responded to requests for comment; a spokesman for the RGA said the group was "unable to comment."
Initially led by Milwaukee County prosecutors, the investigation is now being headed by special prosecutor Francis Schmitz, who spent nearly 30 years as a federal prosecutor and was once a finalist for U.S. attorney in Milwaukee during President George W. Bush's administration.
The investigation comes after an earlier John Doe probe looking into Walker and his current and former aides was shut down earlier this year.
Six individuals -- including three former Walker aides, an appointee and a major campaign contributor -- were convicted of criminal charges as a result of that investigation.

With cloud over foreclosures, time for sellers to strike?
Thinking about selling your home and kicking yourself because you missed out on the fun last spring, when buyers scrambled to cash in on the home buyer tax credit?
Well thanks to some clueless big banks and their harried "robo-signers," you just may get a second chance to find a buyer.
Until the latest chapter in the never ending foreclosure crisis hit, the last helicopter leaving the embassy roof departed on midnight, April 30th - when the home buyer tax credit expired.
But suddenly,with the massive foreclosure machine poised to grind to a halt amid the fast expanding "robo-signing" scandal, home owners looking to sell, here in Greater Boston and across the country, may suddenly find an unexpected opportunity.
This fall could see a temporary drop in the number of homes for sale as banks put foreclosures on hold. And fewer homes on the market could be a boon for traditional sellers struggling to keep free of the pricing undertow generated by dirt cheap foreclosures.
And yes, the impact will extend right into the suburbs. While urban neighborhoods in cities ranging from Springfield to Boston have been the hardest hit, foreclosures are a fact of life now everywhere.
Moreover, the damage caused by this latest twist in the foreclosure crisis extends far beyond the specific properties banks are now forced to go back and check the records on.
This casts a cloud over the whole range of distressed properties, giving even the boldest buyers pause before putting money down on a home whose ownership and title may be unclear.
How much of a window are we talking about?
At least the few months, enough to cover the fall selling season. There are even some hasty predictions of a short-term bump up in prices as inventory drops.
By next spring, though, it could get pretty ugly again. In fact, given the record levels of bank repossessions that are now on hold, we could get a huge spike in foreclosed homes hitting the market in a few months - one that will push prices down again.
So sellers, get moving.

I would guess that yesterday's soft response to the closing of the Progress acquisition is simply confusion at just what Harpo's rules really are. They may be afraid that Petronas will be stopped from buying PPY, but nothing could be further from the truth. The government realises that they need Petronas to kick-start the LNG industry in BC, and would not even consider stopping them from adding PPY to their asset base.
And if that isn't good enough, another major company that has LNG plans is Shell, and they also butt up against PPY's Montney land base.
So we have two potential suitors, and they are both huge players in the LNG market.
And I am going to worry about what PPY's share price does this week? hahahaha

buying land on a Flood plain?

We are moving out to Wisconsin and considering purchasing a property with 12 acres. However, every spring a few acres in the back flood. The 100 year flood plain shows about 9 acres that flood. I was thinking about starting a large food forest/u-pick service. Possibly using
Holzer's style of
raised bed
s to try to lift some soil up out of the
if needs be. If I give the
plenty of ground cover and try to build the soil quality up, how much of my efforts would be washed away should a large flood occur? The flooding is a pretty stagnant process. The water slowly rises and slowly lowers. No swift currents. Any experience with flood plains out there? I also worry about runoff from other farms should a flood occur. Should I worry about a Roundup cesspool invading my land?

We have a flood plain across a big chunk of our land, the entire front area has been under 2 feet of rushing water a few times. Personally I would tend to avoid disturbing a flood plain, though if it just burbles up and doesn't rush you might be able to plant some
and things between floods. You just want to make sure not to disturb large areas of groundcover. If you're concerned about contamination from neighboring farms I would leave it alone as far as food production, maybe developing it as a natural area for wildlife. So, I guess it comes down to do you really need that land for your
, or can you adapt the plans to avoid messing with the flood plain?

Paul, It sounds like potentially an awesome adventure, but you are wise to proceed with caution. Here's my 2 cents worth - If the water rises and lowers very slowly as you describe, you shouldn't have much erosion at all, in fact you may only get deposition. You should be able to tell by looking over the site - is it badly eroded or not? The deposition could be quite wonderful potentially depending on what's upstream. Floodplains tend to be some of the most fertile soils in the natural world. If you time your annual plantings after the floods, you may have an automatic soil replenishing service for free. The EPA tracks water quality for just about every flowing stream in the country, and you should be able to access that data. A quick and dirty assessment would be to see if there are any fish contamination advisories. If there are, it may be draining a superfund site or something of that nature with high levels of some toxic substance. If there are no fish contamination advisories posted, that's a good sign, but you may still want to take a good look at the water quality data, or have it analyzed by an expert. You may want to grab a few samples, especially during flood events and have them analyzed. Many rivers in America have
groups who advocate for the protection of their water. They usually go by the name "Friends of the _______ River". Find your group and ask them if what you want to do is safe. In the US today, our rivers and streams are in the best shape they've been in for decades, thanks to the Clean Water Act and better farming practices. Many of the places I've lived (28 different cities) are making a concerted effort to educate the public about reducing fertilizer and pesticide runoff, and I believe things are generally getting better and better all the time. So, I'm optimistic about your plans. Nature cleans up our messes amazingly well, meaning that a good bit of the pollution is chewed up by the microbes. For that reason, if it was me personally, I wouldn't be afraid to follow through just because of a small amount of urban runoff upstream. It's real hard to find places anymore that are pristine. Please keep us updated on your adventure.

Thanks for the replies. As to the condition of the land right now it is plowed and ready for use by a conventional farmer. They current owners rent it out. My biggest fear is planting dozens of trees, blueberries, raspberries and the like and them sitting in water for a month before dying. It only floods for a month or so in the spring dude to snow melt. I would like to use a no till/
ruth stout
/ Fukuoka/holzer style but again worried about soil drifting away. I will look intothe river and fish, though it id more of a little stream on most occasions

I am understanding it better now. Trees and shrubs will die if they are flooded for a month. The site is much better suited for annuals planted after the spring flood subsides. If there are higher parts that dont flood they would be good for perennials.

New defensive coordinator Manny Diaz led Texas to No. 1 rankings against the pass and run in the Big 12. Both Harsin and Diaz were well-liked by the players and made good first impressions.
