We really enjoyed our recent stay at the H H Whitney House on our first visit to New Orleans. This grand home has lots of charm and it is situated in a quiet neighbourhood within walking distance of the French Quarter. We really enjoyed our daily walks along the historic Esplanade. Guests are invited to relax in the parlor/sitting room on the main floor and the backyard has a pool, hot tub, fountain, and lush vegetation. The house is filled with interesting antiques. There is ample parking on the property.
We stayed in the Scarlet O'Hara room. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. There was ample space for the two of us. Free WiFi access was appreciated.
Glen is a perfect host: welcoming, thoughtful, and helpful. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived and he made us feel like special guests. Glen gave us a helpful orientation when we arrived and prepared a city map that included great recommendations of places to eat and visit. Before our trip, we received a detailed email that answered many of our questions and it provided directions from the airport.
Breakfast each morning was delicious and well presented. We enjoyed the bottomless cups of tasty coffee. Snacks, bottled water and soda were always available. We enjoyed the opportunity to chat with the other guests and Glen during breakfast.
I would not hesitate to recommend H & H Whitney House and hope that we can visit again.

Vincent Brown was a third round pick for the San Diego Chargers in the 2011 NFL Draft. In Brown's last season at San Diego State University, he had 69 receptions, 1,352 yards and 10 touchdown receptions. Brown finished his collegiate career with 209 receptions, 3,110 yards and 23 TD receptions.
Brown finished his rookie season with 19 receptions, 329 yards and two TD receptions in 12 games which included four starts. Brown's most productive game in 2011 was against the Oakland Raiders when he had five receptions, 97 yards and a TD reception.
Brown avoided questions about the possibility of being a starter for San Diego this year, but said that if a player does not want to start, there is no point in playing.
San Diego signed former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Robert Meachem to a four year deal worth $25.9 million on March 13, 2012 which ranks fourth among all Chargers in terms of average salary. Meachem's best season came in 2009 when he had 45 receptions, 722 yards and nine TD receptions.
Meachem missed practices this year because of injuries to his knee which he had surgery on during the off-season and did not play in last Thursday's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. If Meachem is healthy, I expect him to begin the regular season as a starter along with WR Malcom Floyd. Floyd led the NFL in yards per reception last season at 19.9 and led San Diego in receiving yards per game.
If history repeats itself, Brown will have an opportunity to start for San Diego in 2012 because Floyd missed six games in 2006, 10 games in 2007, three games in 2008, five games in 2010 and four games in 2011.
I expect Brown to make an impact at some point, and 2012 could be his year to make a name for himself on the Chargers whether he comes off the bench or starts.

Emma Watson - Unfinished by thewholehorizonWatch
©2013-2016 thewholehorizon
I was feeling guilty about disappearing, but I didn't want everyone to think I'd gone lazy so here's proof that I have/had in fact been cooking something up. Problem is, I'm not really liking how it's turning out, so I think I'm just going to file this away for a while if not indefinitely. A lot of people have been wanting me to draw her again but I don't know what the heck it is about her face that I have SUCH a hard time drawing! You would think with the ridiculous number of times I've watched the Harry Potter films that I would have every pore of her face memorized by now, but NO. I just can't get the details right no matter what I try. I'm not saying I think this looks HORRIBLE but it still looks to me like something I would have done 2 years ago in terms of quality and accuracy. Normally I would never post something unfinished unless it were an actual Work In Progress I intended to complete, and likely I'll move this over to scraps, but like I said I just wanted to post SOMETHING since it's been a while.
it is really good and I hate to nit pick (especially on people who are better than me) but i might see what your talking about. maybe what you're seeing is that bottom jaw, left (her right) eye or her nose. your'e very good and its amazing but you're used to it looking almost perfect, like a photo even. the bottom jaw by the neck is maybe too defined. like too dark. the eye and nose because its a weird angle. ive noticed that with my stuff. ive tried drawing that photo myself and ive been scraping it just because it just never turns out right. that's a weird angle and if its not perfect it looks weird.
it's beautiful
This is really beautiful
A really good likeness! Great job!
Awesome work!

5-week old sleeps through the night
I would still try a dreamfeed this young. At about thr 4 hour mark, put baby to the breast - even while sleeping. That extra stimulation can really help supply without you having to get up and pump. After 6-8 weeks, you'll regulate supply a bit and longer stretches won't have a big impact on supply.
Looks like you are making cream, mama!
Audra rediscoveringdomesticity.com
DH "C" 2000, DS Buggy 10/2008, DS Scrunch 5/2010! DS 3 born 12/2011 au naturale!
I'm not sure about going 8 hours without pumping or nursing. My baby was born on August 1st so he's also 5 weeks old. He only wakes up once throughout the night but I'm already used to waking up several times so when I wake up, I pump a few minutes to make sure I don't hurt my supply. He generally sleeps about 5 hours at a time thru the night
Honestly, I'd just let the baby sleep (and sleep myself). Your supply should be fine so long as the baby is EBFing, and hence nursing a lot at other times.
Exhausted mama to DS (5) and DD (2.5)
I would pump just to be on the safe side. It won't hurt to have the extra milk on hand and definately won't hurt your supply if you pump. Just my opinion. Also, do you have the handsfree bra? My friend hated pumping until she got one! good luck
i am with scarlet4712, i let my babies sleep, and i do too!! But if i ever woke and had some seriously engorged boobies, then i would get up and pump. Yay for you! sounds like you have a bit of a deam baby!!!
Yeah, I'd pump before I went to bed (or when I woke up), whenever the baby wasn't awake, or if I woke up engorged.
I wouldn't dreamfeed or wake the baby - she's obviously gaining weight well and doing fine, so it's not like you need to get more milk into her. So I'd just try to get more milk out of you just in case your body needs it.
Congrats on having a sleeper! :)
I had the same thing with mine. He was born at 11.4 lbs and was sleeping through the night from the first day. In fact in the hospital we had to wake him up to eat, and the night that I slept and didnt wake him up, we had to wake him up in the morning!!
Eventually he actually stopped, so you may still get those middle of the night feedings. My supply didnt go down without the feedings in the middle of the night at all. Some days I woke up in puddles in my bed!

Why did you choose this product?
My fiance bought this for me because I did not want a "normal" diamond engagement ring. It is beautiful. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the main diamond did have a flaw that is noticeable upon careful inspection. I did not exchange it because I think perfection is overrated....

In her New 52 introduction, Giganta will have a new leading lady to tower over: Pandora. As a member of the Secret Society, Giganta is adamant to retrieve Pandora's infamous box. But why?
Joining Giganta on this ruthless quest is Vandal Savage. Like Pandora, Vandal is immortal – so it's safe to assume that these two have crossed paths before. In fact, there's quite a bit of history there. And when Vandal gets that eerie facial scar in TRINITY OF SIN: PANDORA #2, he'll be sticking around the series long enough for you to find out just what that history is …
Below, check out Mikel Janin's designs for these two colossal characters.

There was a an out-of-left-field idea that you could mint such a coin deposit it at the Fed and have a trillion dollars to spend. It was based on a very strained reading of some old legislation. The Washington Post link shows just how strained the reading is
It really was a non-starter because it would have been risky from a legal viewpoint and financial markets would have priced in the risk that courts would have rejected it and the US would be close to default, not to mention the Fed looking rather Weimarian had they signed up for it.
The rejection of the trillion dollar coin should not put any pressure on financial markets or risk-correlated currencies on Monday
It may be viewed as political hardball by the White House, as there statement implies that they will not negotiate. WP quotes Press Secretary Carney "there are only two options to deal with the debt limit: Congress can pay its bills or they can fail to act and put the nation into default." This is a new reading since in 2011, they were busily negotiating with Congress (which is how the sequesters and temporary debt ceiling increase came into being.)
So it is possible that we will get a technical default for a few days, but more likely that Congress will give in, vote the debt ceiling up temporarily, and let the automatic sequesters kick in.
Mounting risk of a technical default was USD positive in 2011 because it led to cutting of long-risk positions and the USD/Treasury market remained safe havens. However, it also occurred in an environemtn of slowing EM growth and intensifying euro zone soveregin risk pressure, so the USD support came from external forces as well. Given that investors are now somewhat long risk again, the position cutting is again likely to be USD positive, however, unattractive US assets were. As was the case in 2011, it is very unlikely that the Treasury will not pay its bills, although even a technical default could have very unforeseen consequences, given the multiple functions that Treasuries play in global financial markets.
The more likely scenario of sequester plus grudging debt ceiling rise is USD negative. It will put more pressure on the Fed to keep pumping liquidity into the US economy without giving any reassurance to investors that long-term fiscal issues are close to resolution.

Just take the debt morning after pill and make it all right.

Of course, naturally
. "The rejection of the trillion dollar coin should not put any pressure on financial markets..."
AHHHHHH!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! (I am screaming so hard, my asshole has just fell out on the floor and made a huge dent) AHHH! AHHHHHH! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Instead of a brazilian-dollar-coin, someone should make 537 trillion-dollar- jalapeno-infused-TAMPONS (12" in diameter) and deposit those into every single asshole's asshole in the District. ;-)
You're looney, it's brazilion.
Can't wait to read the news about the default on my ObamaPhone
What is the problem? Doesn't it make sense that the closer someone gets to not being able to the more valuable their debt becomes?
I have to agree with trav777 here. PAFB! Make Obama veto it. Alas, Jim McTague, Barron's DC Pro, says the Republicans will roll over again, as they have a weak hand and are inept. Yes.
Review of Barron's -- Dated 14 January 2013:
Reid would block a bill in the Senate and the MSM would run flak and bury the story.
That is very likely true. Sigh...
CHECK! That would be basically the same people that issue them.
House needs to pass a debt bill that only allows the ceiling to be raised to pay existing debt but not current or future deficits. Let AIDS boy chew on that.
Or just move the debt to the private sector. That's what happens when the government de-leverages, right?
No guff Chet. Each taxpayer's share of the Total Public Debt is $145,737. And each taxpayer's liability for unfunded entitlements is $1,083,342. And growing!
No Snakes, each taxpayers share is $145,737 worth of asserts, and growing. Unless, the Earth is indeed flat.
"...we will get a technical default for a few days"?
Cue the smoke and mirrors!
And our lives are affected by the Congress and the ratings agencies as well. All for a bunch of corrupt congressctritters that cannot seem to recognize and understand they are there to "do the peoples business". Harry the asshole Reid needs to pass a fucking budget, At least on of the 17 that the House has sent them. This is Harry's problem. Harry is a traitor. If the HOuse caves for a debt ceiling top rise, all hell is gonna break loose.
I was in a line this weekend to buy a gun, 2.5 hour wait for paperwork. People I know across the country did the same thing this weekend coincidentally, and they saw the same lines. People are very angry. They are angry at the GOVErNMENT, whoever they see. The real issue is that "people" in those lines are REALLY PISSED at ALL IN CONGRESS and Elected office. If these guys don't start doing what they are supposed to do for the best intrest for the country and in line with the constitution, I think we are not to far from revolution. Plain and simple folks. Many have had enough. Action (from the citizenry) is not too far away.
selection bias.
The 7/10 million new californians over the past 30 years who went onto state assistance are VERY happy with government. The 47% is happy with it.
The people NOT in gunstores are happy.
In fact, if they are unhappy it's only because the government isn't doing ENOUGH to make people like you unhappy.
when you can only pay your bills by borrowing more money you have already defaulted u Citi retards.
The masses will be very angry at the government...for not doing enough. When the printing press is rendered worthless and the government is no longer able to borrow and print in norder to support the US credit/consumption/service sector/government dependent economny, and people become very poor, the cries for the government to "help" will grow the loudest. The fact is there is nothing the government can do to help except get out of the way, and if those cries are answered, the black hole of central planning will engulf the world and prosperity may be forever lost.
Hopefully, those cries for help are not answered by the government and capitalism and free markets are chosen after fiat collapse...
or this just goes on for fucking ever.
Ponzi schemes must grow or implode. There is no forever with ponzies.
No, it won't. There will be an end. It's just that they realize it's unstoppable so they're getting while the getting is good.
Quick story..... a million years ago I worked for Xerox. Bunch of us found out that their 401k plan had an option to buy and sell pretty much anything we wanted, including individual securities- a self-directed brokerage acct. We day traded dot-com stocks like we worked on Wall St. or something. Memo comes down "You better knock it off, you're killing us in transactions costs. If you don't stop we're shutting down that program." Did we stop? Fuck no. We did it twice as much until they eventually shut it down. We knew the jig was up so we whipped that rented mule until it croaked.
Most excellent.
As a fund for hundreds if not thousands of employees, couldn't they have gotten a break on brokerage fees?
No debt??? Really? Isn't that an economic improbability? Please explain how no debt is possible. I wait with bated breath!
you're forgetting the multiplier effect. krugman, who has a nobel prize, a beard, and an association with princeton, says moar debt=awesome. which means you are wrong.
True. But who wins, lazy uneducated slobs living off stolen government scraps, or well armed patriotic firebrands?
Unfortunately my friend, I think they are doing their jobs. They don't work for the people and haven't for quite some time. They are doing exactly what they are told by their banking corporate masters.
US system of gov does not work, except at manipulating public opinion Bernays-style thus options short of military adventurism are/have been exhausted.
Basic premise of time mgmt is to not neglect what's important at the expense of what's urgent. Congress has failed on epic scale to perform on this count. Even proles with attention-span of poultry now knows something is wrong, giving Congress lowest marks in history but few among general public can view issues except through false left/right ideological lenses.
Banksters Rubin/Greenspan/Sommers used Libertarian watchword of "starving the beast" in 1990s as cover to enrich Wall Street and MIC while the rot increased. Fraud permeated the system without adequate checks on financial markets since the only starving that occurred involved cutbacks to financial regulatory agencies. If gov has any legitimate regulatory role, it's this, to regulate against fraud in financial markets.
Louis XIV said "Apres moi le deluge." The deluge has arrived.
Correction: You mean the 'current' US system.....
The original was almost perfect (except for the GD commerce clause) and a few other ideas that should have been state could never be changed.
All the background checks in the world cannot catch someone who's snapped inside and is contemplating taking out one of TPTB; opportunity awaits the prepared...
The come back is "Americans voted for Congress", but did they. Democracy is a release valve, by fiddling election results TPTB are bottling up an awful lot of voter discontent.
Same with gold and silver manipulation, the longer the distortion and suppression, the more dramatic the reversal.
@ Everyman,

"When all else loses, they take you to war." -Gerald Celente
By the way Everyman, there're Criminal corrupt congressctritters. And need to be referred to as such. CRIMINALS.....
Celente is right. And he is also fun to listen to.
It's normal. In Soviet Union you waited in line for 4-5 hours, unless all the items were sold earlier. The same with paperwork, it could take countless hours.
Sounds like I better max out the available student loans this year.
Good thing you'll never really have to pay them back either. Isn't America great?
Ho hum, no big deal if we have a technical default, everyone's doing it, no big deal. Then again, if you are suspected of maybe having an illegal gun, you can expect a no-knock raid that night, because some laws are incredibly important to enforce right now, while other laws are merely guidelines and suggestions. Specifically, those laws that constrain citizens are urgent and important, while those that constrain government are optional and unimportant.
For the record of TSA, NASA and all other random spying agencies. I do detest previous comment, and my dog accidentally hit on +1 button. As it is my wife's dog, I don't object if you waterboard dog to get information on which terrorist organization aforementioned dog works.
Aren't we about due for the "deer in the headlights" picture? Bring it! ….Sorry, just got into Peoria, driving 7 hours ….need to relax, breath deep … a little Zero Hedge … a little alcohol … everything is OK , aaaahhh.
OK…….. I'm OK now - carry on.
Technical default, my ass.
There are no terms and conditions of default anywhere in the federal code, no indenture under which federal debt is issued. None. By default (LOL) it would mean the basline rudimentary non payment on timely basis of interest or principal when due.
Out-standings to Lockheed Martin and Halliburton, be damned.
Techical DeFaults can be found at Lowes......
hmm...find me some common elements between all these riots
Not enuf free shit?
And talk about riots, this type of crap bothers not the banksters, as long as they get their "free" money from the Fed and interest on "their" holdings paid on a timely basis.
Never yet seen banksters burning unemployment, welfare offices or their own homes or branches of the Fed to the ground now, have we?
Never seen a congresscritter take to the streets, placards in hand protesting injustices, have we? In fact, last time I saw congresscritters and cops together it was during town hall meetings on ObamaDon'tCare and the cops were keeping people away from those already selected by the very same meeting organizers to be inside.
Not enuf free shit.
Just wait till the free shit party slows down. Doesn't even have to end.
Prepare for the inevitable.
is that the same dude who called for usd/eur parity in 2013?
Gazillions later look where we are. I like the "temporary" part. Didn't we just have a "temporary part" that will last 2 months till the next "temporary part"????
Here's what's temporary: this society holding together for much longer while these fucknuts keep raking in billions blowing up shit, getting drunk and fucking hookers.
Don't forget the blowjobs and jetting all over to exotic places to figure shit out, too. Very important.
What in the world... why is there no hew and cry from the female members of congress about the coke and hooker shit with their male counterparts?
Like Nazi or Madame Butterbutt sitting next to a drunken critter getting a BJ under the table?
Where is the outrage?
I'm mildly upset.
Would it be inappropriate if I said I was jealous?
Actually it would be inappropriate to be jealous, unless of course your wife is sneaking out at night to hang with Congressmen. If you said you were envious then that might make two of us
I stand corrected on the proper word selection!
@Mr. Pink:
Truly, we are all in awe. Recognizing your superiority, we ask, "What is the word to describe that person who was paying attention in eighth grade English class when the rest of us were looking at the developing girls all around us?"
p.s. By the way, I did actually give you an up arrow because I thought you did a pretty good job of correcting someone's grammar without being a, well, 'not nice', shall we say?
They probably aspire to be like Hillary and have 100 twenty-something pussy eaters and 10,000lbs of coke for themselves.
If you ever really feel like seeing how close you can come to wanting to put a bullet through your own noggin, watch any good documentary on the life of Hugh Hefner. Dear god.
I have always thought that talk of secession, violence and the like was the province of the crazies. Now I am not sure. I'm certainly not one of those posters salivating over violence and death but eventually, as conditions worsen in the big blue states, the flyover states will increasingly question their commitment to a union in which they are permanently bled dry.
People, it is does not matter if you are liberal or conservative. The politicians and their wall street masters are almost done with your rape. I hoped you enjoyed it. Welcome to your serfdom!
I think congress should have ankle bracelets with tasers. No balanced budget and they get jacked up.
obodyOk, Republicans time let you in on a secret. They scare you idiots into buying more guns by saying people want to take them. Demorcrats that I know could really give a shit about your gun hobby. Dont take our chess boards and we wont take your guns. Might want to pay attention as to who exactly your handing these thing too. That last kid really did some damge.
Crank up the debt another dozen trillion, then announce we must have a "temporary" (honest!) national sales tax to pay it off. Something around 17% ought to do it. You know that's part of the game plan. This party is just getting started. There's plenty more wealth left that can be looted and plundered.
I would take out an account with Citi, just because they are doomers sitting on fat tail risk trades.
Steve check your DXY charts, it's getting punched to sh*t, one day there will a be a risk free bet against the money printers...maybe not just yet.
Since the intakes are more than the interest payments due, the only reason for a default would be a choice chosen by the despot's regime.
Correct, F. Bastiat.
Technical default of US debt. Would you ever have thought in your lifetime? I can honestly say I never thought the US would ever face that kind of challenge.
Hope & Change. All backed by TV and Hollywood - you watch - you enable it all.
Looks like Aaron Swartz was whacked for speaking up against O's kill list.
If there is any default, it will be done on purpose, and in violation of the 14th Amendment (not that THAT would be a surprise). The fed govt takes in enough money each month to pay all it's monetary obligations, with money left over.
It is discretionary spending that would get shorted.
The default talk is a lie. The country is nowhere near a default on debt obligations.
Not as long as the wage slaves keep paying their taxes.
It's pretty cool living in a country at a time when it defaults....almost psychodelic.
"I wish none of this happened."
"So do all who live to see such times, but it is not for them to decide."
"All we have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to us."
Decide well, friends.
We have futures to ass fuck higher overnight!
According to the Daily Treasury Statements, as of the close of business on May 16, the federal government had taken in $1.333454 trillion in tax revenues since the beginning of fiscal 2011. By the close of business on July 7, tax revenues for fiscal 2011 had grown to $1.629630 trillion. Therefore, between May 16 and July 7 the federal government took in a total of $296.176 billion in new tax revenue.
In that same time period, total interest payments on the national debt equaled $14.632 billion.
Thus, the new tax revenue of $296.176 billion the federal government took in between May 16 and July 7 was enough to pay the federal government's $14.632 billion in interest obligations during that period 20 times over.
Also during that same period, the federal government's combined expenditures for interest payments on the national debt, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the Veterans Affairs department and federal workers wages and insurance benefits equaled $270.151 billion.
Thus, since hitting the legal limit on the federal debt on May 16, the federal government could have spent its $296.176 billion in new tax revenues to pay for its combined $270.151 billion in expenses for interest, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Veterans Affairs and federal workers wages and insurance benefits and still had $26.025 billion in additional tax revenue to spend on other government activities.
Debt Default?
Laughable, unless simply done on purpose by your govt. Which would call for lamposts and rope, some assembly required.
But, wouldn't it be more accurate to revise the 2nd to the last sentence to read; "Laughable, unless simply done on purpose by your those who have taken control of our govt?"
Here is what congress needs to do. "Raise the fucking debt ceiling, then borrow a shit load of money. Then get on with the patriotic duties of America. Invade fucking Syria and install a NATO puppet. Start a civil war in Lebanon and then invade the fucking place to protect civilians and install a NATO puppet government. Give Isreal a boat load of money to buy arms. Then invade those camel jokies in fucking Iran and liberate the god damn place to install a NATO puppet government."
That is a good start on the patriotic duty of America. Warn Russia and China to disarm or we are coming for them next.Our government is obligated first and foremost to protect the American people. There are dozens of threats out there, we need to invade them and conquer them or else we will have to fight the Iranian Revolutionary Guards on the streets of Oklahoma City and every other American city.
Raise the debt ceiling and get on with defending America.
I've heard these same things for years out here and all one can say is that NATO is about as relevant as the US dollar, especially with European defense spending almost nonexistent. I could not care less if Assad and his religious minority retain their stranglehold over the nation but I will predict that the next Syrian regime will be about as friendly toward NATO as ZH posters.
"W" is that you?
At the top of ZH page I saw on the left: "Citi...US Gov't technical default."
And then my eyes were immediately drawn to the advert on the right "COUGAR LIFE"
Kind of sums up America's situation....
You got some freeky cookies go on over there. Might want to check your wife's browser history - ha ha.
I keep getting the Bad Idea t-shirt ad with the chick leaning into the picture. No complains over here on that one.
Technical default = short dip, followed by massive bond price spike.
I want the coin! I want a poster of it for my wall! Maybe it will lead to some fiscal responsibility. Is that possible anymore? We did only have a defecit of 220 million in Dec.
To sum it up, had they introduced that coin and made it a reality, the RESET everyone on ZH has been wanting would be VERY VERY close at hand.
Sorry, don't really care about what spouts from CITI. Anyone else think Japan may have others thinking about escalating the currency war.
Whats the point of getting paid with worthless freshly printed currency?
Correct, that's what the war is all about!
More important than a fake default... congress passing hardcore gun control bills, starting the American civil war of 2013...
Speaking of defaults.
ALEXANDRIA — In the wake of the fiscal crisis of 2008, lawmakers in Washington rushed to craft legislation to curtail risky practices at the center of the financial collapse.
The product was the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, a massive slate of regulations that expanded the role of government to police everything from debit card purchases to insurance.Now, a new book argues that the ongoing complexity and reach of Dodd-Frank could plant the seeds for another collapse.
Dodd-Frank: What It Does and Why It's Flawed, produced by the Mercatus Center of George Mason University in Fairfax, provides a thorough dissection of the more than 8,800-page law.
"I think it really didn't get to the problems we saw in the last crisis. In fact, I think it made them worse in many ways," said Hester Peirce, a senior research fellow at Mercatus and, with James Broughel, co-author of the book.
Peirce maintains that Dodd-Frank created an intricate web of governance, producing uncertainty in many industries.
"There was this need to do something," she said of the law's genesis. "Congress was more concerned about doing something than about doing something right."
By creating new agencies like the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection and expanding the role of existing entities like the Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Reserve and others, Peirce said Dodd-Frank puts the nation's financial health in the hands of regulators while providing little clarity for the rules they enforce.
Among the book's key criticisms is the law's underlying philosophy, that some companies are so large and interconnected throughout the economy that their default would result in disastrous market contagion. The authors contend that Dodd-Frank responds with the sort of regulatory overreach that guarantees government protection for companies that, like insurance giant AIG, are considered too-big-to-fail.
"In 2008, people weren't exactly sure how far the government safety net went," she said. "I think a lot of people were surprised that AIG was rescued. Now, under the (Dodd-Frank) regime, AIG is likely to be designated as a systemically important financial institution, which means it will be regulated by the (Federal Reserve). It will be clearly anticipated that if something were to happen, that it will be rescued.
"We've basically broadened (oversight) from just banks to all sorts of new entities. It's just going to be very expensive."
While some regulations have expanded, others have vague constraints, such as the Volcker Rule. Named for Fed chairman Paul Volcker, the rule was designed to keep banks from investing customer assets in risky speculation. But the rule brought more questions about how banks can legally invest, setting up a potential chill in the securities market.
While Dodd-Frank is responsible for much new financial regulation, Peirce said the law provides no oversight for the housing industry that was at the center of the financial crisis. Nor does it clarify government's role in the home mortgage business.
"Big components like housing finance reform, that issue was totally not addressed by Dodd-Frank," she said. "That was a huge part of the problem in the crisis, the government's involvement in (backing mortgages). It made the government more likely to step in and save entities because the government itself was so deeply entrenched."
The bigger problem: the natural risks of the marketplace have been replaced by Dodd-Frank's confidence in the wisdom of regulators.
"Because the government was such an active participant in the markets, the markets got lazy," she said. "They assumed regulators were doing more work than they were. Markets relied very heavily on credit agencies because the government told them it was okay to rely on them. It turned out that those agencies hadn't done a great job.
"If we look at the lead-up to the crisis, we see that a lot of the problems stemmed from government failures, not pure market failures, because the market was already too dependent on the government."
A "Financial Police" would be the perfect source for insider tradring.
The Too Big To Fail and the Powers That Be would LOVE to have such an institution. It would be like being able to see see everyone's hands in a game of poker, yet no one can see yours.
A possible default drives investors into the 'safe haven' that is about to default. Kind of sums up todays markets...
Scenario A)
1. Miraculously elect politicians (including President) who are not totally corrupt, ignorant or both.
2. Start a new currency issued by the US Treasury.
4. Convert existing Fed debt into new USA bucks.
5. Only defaults on debt owed to the Federal Reserve.
6. Abolish the Federal Reserve.
7. Jail the fraudsters, regardless of how big they are (HSBC, JPM, GS, BAC, CITI, etc)
8. Mandate a balanced budget and forbit debts to be allowed to roll-over to future generations.
Scenario B)
1. Perpetual bailouts makes the system unsustainable.
2. SHTF: Markets crumble, social disorder, several States exit the US Union.
3. Competition between new efficient countries and old corrupt USA.
4. Old corrupt USA implodes into dystopia.
5. The rats abandon old corrupt USA because there's nothing in it for them.
5. After a few generations, old corrupt USA eventually re-learns the Rule of Law.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I believe Scenario B is more likely since I don't foresee the first step of Scenario A ever happening.

DescriptionSimulation games are created with the goal of putting the player in control of a certain activity while attempting to make it as realistic as possible.
In the strictest sense of the word, all electronic games are simulations, since they cannot exist without simulating aspects of real life. However, simulation genre only includes games that focus (entirely or mostly) on imitating real-life activities. That does not mean that simulation games must be completely realistic; for example, space combat simulation games simulate an activity that is (yet) unknown to human beings. The distinguishing feature of simulation games is their emphasis on realism and detail comparable to those encountered in real life.
Most simulation games are not story-driven, since they concentrate on describing general activities, not concrete situations. Among notable exceptions are Wing Commander games, which combine space combat simulation with a continuous narrative.
Simulation themes vary greatly; theoretically, they are limited only by the amount of activities known to human beings. Simulation themes include, for example, traffic networks, medical care, romance, music, and many others.
Simulation games can be roughly divided into five main groups:
- Managerial simulations put the player in a position of a manager or a similar role.
- Construction simulations primarily involve building, for example cities.
- Life simulations may deal with human life or life in general.
- Professional / Social simulations are dedicated to specific social activities and professions.
- Vehicle simulations allow the player direct control of a vehicle with a certain sense of realism, for example plane, space ship, tank, etc.

Tips on Prototyping for Usability Testing
By Jim Ross, Principal of Design Research at Electronic Ink, Philadelphia, PA, USA
Because user research studies peoples' behavior, the most effective research techniques involve observing participants doing things and talking about what they're doing. Research that focuses on opinions and discussions of behavior in the abstract isn't as useful, because it's difficult for people to talk about their behavior out of context or to evaluate a design without using it. Therefore, the best way to evaluate a new design is to create a prototype and give participants something concrete to interact with and react to. In this column, Jim Ross provides some tips that can make your usability studies more successful and help you to avoid problems when testing prototypes.

The Many Hats of a Usability Professional
By Rebecca Albrand, Design Researcher at Electronic Ink, Philadelphia, PA, USA
Sometimes it seems as though usability professionals need to have superhuman multitasking abilities to conduct usability test sessions. As a usability professional, you have to wear the hats of a facilitator, a consultant, a conversationalist, a note-taker, a technologist, and a psychologist. In this article Rebecca Albrand describes some objectives for each of the roles you'll need to take on, as well as provide some tips that you should remember to help you wear each hat successfully.

text: It all started out just fine, a cloudy morning with threats of rain but not too warm. Clouds were swirling all day but only a few drops and some mist managed to come out of the sky. Trails were in the best condition that I've ever seen at Capitol Forest...in other words, very little of that nasty slimy greasy mud and the deep ruts were dry and pretty easy to avoid. Things started out great, made it to checks 1 and 2 on my minute. Felt really loose, fluid, and confident. Check 2 was in a pretty fast section and the woman marking my card seemed to be surprised that I was on my minute, so I got some satisfaction out of that and felt like I must have been doing really well. This just might be my day! That's when things started to get a little dicey. Another mile or so up the trail and there's a road crossing...the trail continues straight across the road, but there's one sign that says the trail is closed for logging, another paper note that says the trail is closed but open for the racers, another pink sign (same color as all of the course markers) that says "< Trail Re-Route" with an arrow up the road to the left, a pink ribbon all the way across the trail about 7 feet off the ground, and then to top it all off I could see all of the pink course arrows going right up the trail beyond the pink ribbon. Now, we were warned about this spot at the riders meeting, but we weren't told about the "Trail Re-Route" signs that match the course markers. So what you do here?? Also keep in mind that this was in the middle of a fast section that was challenging to stay on time, I knew the guy who was on the minute ahead of me was somewhere behind me since I passed him before the last checkpoint and I didn't want him to come by me because it was real dusty and I didn't want to eat more dust and worry about getting around him in a more challenging section, it was hard enough with him behind me. And I thought things were going really well so I didn't want to waste any time. So, of course I figured that maybe the logging folks or the DNR dude made an executive decision after the race had started that we couldn't go thru the logging area after all and there was a short course detour. So I turned left and went down the road looking for the next detour sign. Less than 1/2 a mile up and another "Trail Re-Route" sign with an arrow, so everything's cool and I just keep riding along. A little further and another sign, and then another sign pointing the opposite direction. WTF? I think to myself and just keep going thinking somebody either screwed up or someone just happened along and decided to mess with the race. So after about 3 miles of this I follow one more arrow for the Re-Route down a trail and start riding looking for some sort of course markers. Nothing.... Hhmmmm.... Okay, maybe they were in a hurry and didn't have time to put up more markers, just keep riding, don't second guess yourself. Another couple miles and I'm starting to really worry. There has to be a checkpoint here to let us know we're on course. Sh#t, I'm not seeing anybody out here... Just keep going, don't second guess yourself, focus, ride, stay loose, focus. Finally I realize I'm totally screwed and decide that there's got to be a trail junction soon and I can pull out the map to figure out where in hell I am so I can decide what to do next. Well, it was about a total of 8 miles before I hit a junction. Now it's time for a little side story... At registration in the morning, I noticed a little stack of trail maps for the Capitol Forest sitting off to the side of the registration desk. I have never seen an official trail map for CSF and didn't have any map for the forest at all. An official map? Cool! I'd love to have one of those. I decided to snag one since nobody was looking (cheap bastard) and stuffed it in my pocket. When I was getting dressed and deciding what to put in my pack I almost left the map in my truck. What dumb luck that I grabbed it and stuffed in my pack!! Otherwise, I might still be roaming around CSF about now... So I pull out my map and figure out that I'm totally on the opposite side of the forest, a minimum of 20 miles to get back to the start area and definitely no chance of avoiding a DNF. Or I could just backtrack the 8 or 10 miles to where I made the original blunder and try to beg the race marshals to let me finish. After about five minutes of debate with myself, I chose option 2 and headed back from where I came... After finally getting back to the original point of confusion, I decided WTF just go up the trail and see what happens. After about 4 miles or so I come across a checkpoint. Cool!! I'm back on course!! Unfortunately, I'm told the hour sweep has already passed and I'm officially a DNF. Mother fuck$r!! Oh well, time to kick back and ride the next 30 miles for fun. Another couple miles and I come up to a couple guys on the side of a road. I stop to ask if they need any help and they ask me where I'm going. Turns out they're with the host club and are pulling the short course (my course) markers and placing markers for the long course second loop. So my only option was to follow them for about 1/2 hour to a point where the long course markers were already placed and just follow them in. The cool part here is I got to ride this killer hidden section of the long course that drops about 1000' vertical in 1/2 mile where only about 10 bikes total have ever been down it. Yeehah!! My kind of trail! It was super steep thru brush, pretty much a bushwhack trail that you would never know was there if it wasn't shown to you. That's my silver lining to the story... After all was said and done, I got the pleasure of riding an extra 18-20 miles of sweet trails on a beautiful day when I felt invincible on the bike, everything just felt right. Too bad it's probably the last enduro of the season and I'll have to wait until next Spring for another shot at glory... And it turns out that the "Trail Re-Route" signs were placed by DNR the day before but nobody from the host club thought to pull them down. And they didn't think to put someone at that spot to direct traffic... So Ron and Dave, how did things go for you?? Ron, I think you have a story of your own? I hope you didn't get injured. I saw your guys results, Ron what happened? Sorry I missed you guys at the finish, looks like you were long gone by the time I got back (they were just getting ready to dole out awards for the short course). Cheers, Brian "db"

Bishops Walk Fine Line on Abuse Policy ; Revised Plan Aims to Uphold Church Law and Due Process for Priests. Critics Call for Deeper Reforms
Jane Lampman writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
As it prepares to meet next week, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops walks a delicate line in seeking to finalize church policy on sexual abuse by priests.
With the issue less in the media glare than it was earlier this year, bishops have been under pressure from the Vatican to tone down dramatic June proposals that involved "zero tolerance" for wayward priests - to prevent any weakening of the church's canon law.
At the same time, pulling back too far could rekindle frustration among Catholics nationwide. Many want assurance that a decades-long problem has been corrected.
This challenge is reflected in the changes to the policy on abuse released earlier this week - and the response to it by critics.
The bishops' conference said the revised plan held firm on its pledge of zero tolerance while providing essential due process for priests who are accused.
To victims seeking redress and to other lay Catholics, however, the changes represent a clear retreat. They say the revised policy gives more discretion to bishops rather than increasing their accountability, backpedals on the commitment to report all allegations to civil authorities, and may allow priests with incidents of abuse in the distant past to remain in ministry.
The 10-year statute of limitations in church law will once again apply, unless the Vatican gives an exemption on a particular case.
"If the Vatican doesn't give an exemption, older priests could stay in jobs and be a threat to children," says David Clohessy, executive director of Survivors Network for Those Abused by Priests. Some 85 percent of victims don't come forward until later in their lives, he adds, "so people once again may suffer in silence."
The changes also weaken the lay role in the process, while introducing church tribunals presided over by clerics as the judicial process to be followed before any priest can be permanently removed. The tribunals would take place behind closed doors, counter to calls for transparency in the process.
US bishops will meet at their annual convention in Washington Nov. 11-14 to vote on the revisions, which then must go back to Rome for final approval and incorporation as a "particular law" (pertinent only to the US) within church law.
The Vatican refused to accept the policy bishops approved last June in Dallas, which it said included a definition of sexual abuse that was too ambiguous, improperly eliminated the statute of limitations, and failed to conform with canon law in regard to due process. A "mixed commission" of US bishops and Vatican officials met in Rome last week to prepare the revision.
Bishop Wilton Gregory, president of US Conference of Catholic Bishops, rejected the notion the reforms had been watered down: "This particular law will provide every diocese in the country with standards in canon law for protecting children and young people, reaching out to victims, assessing allegations against clergy, with the benefit of the advice of competent lay persons, and for keeping from ministry anyone who would harm children."
At the same time, the changes bring the policy firmly into conformity with church law, and would remedy concerns Vatican officials apparently had that too much deference was being paid to both laity and civil authorities in the process. …

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of IMON's effort to expand financial access to rural populations through 16 offices located far from regional centers or main towns. By funding this loan, you are enabling rural populations to gain better financial skills, develop businesses and improve their lives.
About IMON InternationalIMON International (IMON) is a micro-deposit organization in Tajikistan that provides entrepreneurs with access to high quality financial products and services, including business loans, agriculture loans, consumer loans and micro-leases. Aiming to alleviate poverty, the organization helps unbanked individuals establish businesses in different sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture and service. Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand its outreach to even more entrepreneurs, farmers and traders in Tajikistan.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.
