Skip to comments.Reid Remarks Intensify Spat With High-Court Conservatives
Posted on 03/11/2010 7:18:58 AM PST by GOP_Lady
WASHINGTON -- Long-simmering resentment between the conservative Supreme Court and the Democratic Congress and White House approached a boil Wednesday, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid criticized Chief Justice John Roberts and his fellow conservatives for striking down limits on corporate political spending.
"Do you think John Roberts knows or cares how people get elected?" the Nevada Democrat said at a meeting of liberal bloggers. With all nine justices having been drawn from the lower courts, the Supreme Court lacks understanding of the practical impact of its decisions, Mr. Reid said, according to the Web site Huffington Post.
A spokesman for Mr. Reid, Jim Manley, confirmed the remarks and added that the majority leader strongly backed President Barack Obama's push for legislation requiring corporations to disclose their political spending and imposing other regulations.

Buh bye Harry traitor.
What an ugly and evil hunk of feces with no soul.
To be added or removed from the
"The Wall Street Journal" Ping List,
FReepmail GOP_Lady.
What an inflammatory feeb.
"Do you think John Roberts knows or cares how people get elected?"
Harry, I think he understands perfectly.
I think I could live for the day when this sorry assed pipsqueak gets his ass handed to him.
Reid loathes free speech...for conservatives. And if I want to give $10,000,000 (which, alas, I don't have) to a favorite candidate, who is Reid to forbid it?
"Do you think John Roberts knows or cares how people get elected?"
That's not their job to know or care. Their job is to measure laws against the Constitution and uphold the Constitution.
0bama and his Democrats are working hard to bias the court against themselves for the next time some of their unconstitutional legislation is up for judicial review.
They have no sense of history, no sense of honor, no sense of value or values, just the desire for pure, raw power, and the ability to use it.
May God preserve us!
Another Obamarionette.
The aging lesbian will be looking for work at that "Pawn Stars" place by the end of the year...
Keep it up, whiners. Public opinion will go against you obamanuts on this one.
The USSC may be wrong on some of its decisions, but it needs to stay out raw, open politics. And (other than the political nature of appointments) politics needs to leave it alone so the justices can make decisions based on law.
I know the nitty-gritty working of the USSC is not perfect, but it is what we have.
I do t think filthy Harry knows how people get elected, because he's been doing exactly the opposite for some time now.
Do you think Harry Reid knows or cares about the Constitution of the United States?
Buying votes with Health care? - Other peoples money?
I don't think filthy Harry knows how people get elected, because he's been doing exactly the opposite for some time now.
I hope Harry's thrown out of office so hard he breaks his damn neck.
You nailed it: They are waging a PR campaign, thinking they'll turn the people against the Court in preparation for packing it with a slew of leftist hacks.
It's not working, but in their arrogance they probably think it is.
Obama is a Communist.
Everything that spews from this administration must be filtered through that fact.
He and his crew are going after the Supremes.... either to shame these guys out or to "expand the court". Bet on it... that will be the next communist trick up his sleve.
Bring back Dueling.
10 months and youre outahere, you POS.
This is just more conclusive proof that this ugly twerp of an alleged human being, Dinghy Harry Reid, is an utter Moron and hopefully in November will follow in Tommy Daschle's miniature foot steps! The day Dinghy Harry leaves the Senate for the last time will surely be a Glorious Day for AMERICA!
>>With all nine justices having been drawn from the lower courts, the Supreme Court lacks understanding of the practical impact of its decisions<<
Either this guy thinks the public is stupid or he is woefully ignorant of the laws that govern the very people he is supposed to be representing. The supreme court's job is to know the constitution. This law was nconstitutional.
Harry, if it is such a travesty, get busy on that next constitutional amendment.
Yeah, I suspect this too. The Democrats have been bashing the Court for months. Any day I expect Osama to announce that it only "makes sense" to expand the court to 12 and then submit all far-left nominees.
That pesky little document...
Yeah, I suspect this too. The Democrats have been bashing the Court for months. Any day I expect Osama to announce that it only "makes sense" to expand the court to 12 and then submit all far-left nominees.
you forgot: pay for third party useful idiots to act as vote splitters to divide opposition voters.
If they attempt to pack the court by adding more justices,
they're going to find out why firearm and ammo sales were up 300% since nov '08.
I'm hoping that 41 Senators would never agree to "pack the Court."
Good Bye Harry, you nasty, hateful toad.
"...the Supreme Court lacks understanding of the practical impact of its decisions, Mr. Reid said..." NO. Harry just DISAGREES with the practical impact of the Court's decisions...that is, when the Court does not advance the agenda of the radical left.
..........And if I want to give $10,000,000............who is Reid to forbid it?...etc...
= == = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
He would definitely be on board if it was earmarked for him....
To be successful they need to get public opinion on their side. To get public opinion on their side they need to demonize one or all of the conservative members on the court.
They have been planning this for a while; who knows what secrets they have in store for us?
And later -- Most of FDR's socialist agenda was gutted by the Supreme Court.
The more history changes, the more likely it's just repeating -- Note the kids ring around the FDR. With these Oppressives it's all about the children, didn't you know? Stalin would call the people who were conned with promised freebies to vote for their own imprisonment, useful idiots. The very same types Chavez uses in his socialist paradise of Venezuela where a country of 28 million has a higher murder rate than the USA with near 10x the population. I am sure they are murdered for a good cause. Hardly any of the crimes are solved in Venezuela, do you think that is by design?
One of the more obscure things about FDR, the NAACP thought his election would end lynching, which was carried out by Democrat operatives for the most part. FDR refused.
Democrats taking cold shower after FDR died -- WOW, that was really bad -- The dead body of FDR was just barely in his grave when the 22nd amendment was passed preventing more than two presidential terms. I wonder why the Oppressives don't like to bring that point up when talking about FDR and his New Deal social justice crapola?
Read the history of FDR and his New Deal, it's very informative when talking about our new dear reader "social justice" Oppressive president.
Lessee now, the Commiecrats offended/dissed the following powerhouses:
1- The CIA/FBI
2- Israel/Mossad
3- The US military
4- The UK/MI6
5- SCOTUS.......and above all, most Americans!
I find it remarkable that 0b0z0 and his thugs aren't afraid of eventually going to jail.
Maybe, Judge Roberts and the rest of the conservative judges will find one, just one, citizen or entity that has STANDING!
It's about time to toilet-train 0kaka by dumping him and his thugs in the toilet they belong!
"Long-simmering resentment between the conservative Supreme Court..."
The Supreme Court is CONSERVATIVE???? Since when???
Excellent post. Finding and demonizing a boogeyman is the oldest rat trick in the book. Newt's gone, DeLay is gone, Rove is gone - - they failed miserably with Rush and Palin - - so now maybe it's John Roberts? If so, they are more desperate than I thought.
Anyway, in Robert's case it's not about impeachment, it's about the next Ubanga nominee.
Interesting remark coming from one of those who would nullify the power of our elections by inserting language into a bill stating that it can never be repealed.
Does this include the SEIU and other unions that support the RATS?
This makes me wonder if Mr. Reid was born without a sense of irony or if he had it surgically removed.
I find it interesting that he singled out the ENTIRE SCOTUS, even the "wise Latina." That could work against him and his friends eventually.

The asterisk is to denote that we are referring to an online casino where virtual money is used and that is dwarfed in size by a number of poker-only sites. Still, at roughly 500,000 users a day--the vast majority via Facebook--Seattle's own DoubleDown Casino is, to all outward appearances, a smashing and largely unheralded success.
"Why don't we come out with blackjack and roulette and slots and every other game besides poker and fill that void?" Enell says he and his two co-founders thought. That was less than two years ago. Today, the company, with its 46 employees, offices overlooking Lake Union, and two million Facebook users per month, is perched profitably atop the heap of free online casino games.
Greg Enell
The secret sauce of DoubleDown is its virtual currency. Every day, a player can expect between $50,000 to $60,000 in free virtual chips--up from $1,000 at its launch in 2009. Maximum bets in Blackjack are $5 million per hand, and in slots up to $1 million per spin. To get into high-dollar games like those, players have the option of buying from 150,000 chips for $3 to spending $99 on 100 million chips.
In other words, the site operates on a freemium model, with more than 90 percent of users playing for free, and the remainder putting in actual money. In addition to the obvious advantage of getting to play longer, ponying up real cash enables customers to enjoy an inflated sense of self-worth.
"The numbers are big and it's done that way by design," says Enell. "We want [paying customers] to feel like they're rich. We want to give them the VIP experience."
At its inception less than two years ago, Double Down introduced a multiple player blackjack game over Facebook. It followed this with roulette, and then slots, and eventually poker. This week, it unveiled a new tournament slots game, where players compete in flights of 100 to finish in the top 10 to win bonus virtual cash.
As we chatted on the phone, Enell acknowledged that his attention was somewhat divided. He was playing in one of his slot tournaments, Jewels of the Dragon, against 99 others. How was it going?
"I'm in 32nd place right now," he said, with a number of spins remaining. "I still have the opportunity to finish in the top 10."
Does the company worry about acting as a gateway to real gambling?
image source Double Down's "main lobby"
First off, Enell points out, it's not as if people are wagering their paychecks on his site. When they lose $5 million on a hand of blackjack, they'll still have money to pay the Jimmy John's guy.
"There's a casino on every corner almost now," he adds. "We are just giving people an online outlet to play games that are widely available to them already."
Double Down does seem to be on to something. In addition to adding users like crazy (players have increased by 25 percent in the past two months alone), the company has been hiring since shortly after its inception. No one yet has quit yet, Enell says (though a few have been shown the door). If you happen to be looking for work, as of yesterday they're looking to fill 14 open positions , from Java and Flash game developers to a marketing manager.
Amidst all these happy numbers, there's one thing that grates at Enell: The relative lack of media attention his company has received.
"Zynga is getting all the press and the buzz about what an incredible company they are... There are 50 articles a day written about them," he harrumphs, referring to the four-year-old San Francisco-based creator of games like Farmville and Mafia Wars. "One thing we would like to say is we're right here in Seattle. We're doing the same thing, on a little bit of a smaller scale. And we're having the same success."
Assuming people don't suddenly stop amusing themselves by wagering fake money on Facebook for hours on end each day, Enell's sought-after attention may not be far off.

As Satan's blood burns in the stomach
With corroded noses
Hovering above a porcelain god
Vomit projecting, cleansing inside
Purging the shit out
From the heart strong enough for a horse
Insufflated en masse
They're pounding on the door
I'm puking straight through death
Pure horses in it?

Hey, thanks for the add as well! Wish the best of luck to ya on MISERY!
A fren' who makes Misree is a fren indeed! With such a distinguished name too.
Thanks for adding me mate :)
Thanks for adding me i feel honored :D also thank you and the team for making misery ^_^ i'm having a blast with it!
This mod is awesome, I am hoping that there has not been to much compromise with the difficulty, and that 2.1 will be a slightly harsher experience at the least.
I remember that when 2.0 came out a very vocal group of people complained as though they were offended by the game difficulty/balance. Claiming that it was to hard, and a patch was released that made it easier (along with some bug fixes).
Can I expect 2.1 to truly be the mod that TZP envisions and not to much catering to those stalkers who want a more forgiving experience. I hope that this 2.1 zone is as harsh as those veteran stalkers among us dream it to be. I'm looking for a unforgiving experience. Where equal amounts of cunning, zeal and strategy are required to survive .
This mod is your legacy, please don't cater to the tourist who do not know what the zone is about.
thats deep bro
Hello, I'd like you to take a look at my recent comment(s) in the Misery mod section and let me know what you think. It regards the option of being able to avoid the class part of the mod, and run with standard equipment etc. I think this would attract more people. Thanks!
Hello Nicolai!
How is life? I hope is good :)
You guys made one amazing work and i am proud of You and the Team.
Misery will never die!
а руссифицированная версия будет?
English please
would you be able to update the mod to add in a difficulty selector because i downloaded this mod because it has many different features such as the new graphics look so much better than standard stalker the different types of weapons added in but its annoying because i cant play every day and i get very frustrated with the fact that when i do play which is only for a about 2 hours a week i really cant progress much further than the last 2 hours i have played
He does not know if there is a Russian translation of MISERY 2.0 :D I answered to him in PM.
That's one comeback :D

WAYNESVILLE, Ohio An Ohio landlord is accused of whipping a tenant with a belt on his bare buttocks for falling behind on his rent.
Ron Kronenberger, 53, was charged with assault for the Jan. 22 encounter in his office, said police in the village of Waynesville. Police said the 29-year-old tenant was late with a $2,800 rent payment.
"If you're going to act like a child, I'm going to treat you like one," Kronenberger was quoted in the police report as telling the tenant before striking him four times with a belt.
Waynesville police Chief Gary Copeland talked to the accuser, who reportedly told him he submitted to the whipping because "he was scared and just wanted to get it over with," according to the report.
Associated Press
The Dayton Daily News reported that Kronenberger is a former chamber of commerce president who was Waynesville's "Citizen of the Year" for 2006. His home phone wasn't accepting messages Thursday.

If you got caught unawares like we did--these conference tournaments are strange, meaningless beasts--take comfort in these facts: it's halftime, the Dawgs are up 38-35, and you should still be able to see the second half if you sneak out of work now. Otherwise, you're stuck reading gamecast with the rest of us.

questions from a ftm (:
Comments (3)
No, you do not need 3 strollers and you probably will not need 7-8 receiving blankets, but you will probably get that many, if not more at your babyshower if you have one.
I have had one stroller with each of my kids, just had the travel system type so it grew with them. I had a few receiving blankets with my DS and that was fine. I had a TON of them from my babyshower for DD and half of them endedu p as doll blankets for her when she got a little older because I didn't need that many.
Burp rags I would have a decent stock in because you will use those all the time. Babies drool and spit up.
I found the one-piece footie PJs type outfits were great especially with young babies because their poop tends to travel and having a bunch of those on hand for changing clothes is much better than trying to change cute little outfits with separate shirts and pants all the time. We save those outfits for when we wanted ot dress the baby up a little more.
You won't need a ton of bottles, especially if you are breast feeding, but have different sizes, because as your baby grows, they will drink more and more.
Have plenty of bibs on hand, they keep clothes dry and work for a quick spit up mess.
I found the diaper genie to be a waste of money, it doesn't hold very many diapers. it's easier to just wrap the stinky ones up in a plastic shopping bag, or just throw them directly in the outside garage can.
In my experience with my big babies, stocking up on newborn size diapers is pointless. I ended up not using them for very long with either of my last two kids because they grew out of them in a week or two because they only go up to 10lbs.
That's what I can think of off the top of my head.

Obama Karma is based on a fascinating question: what can we learn from the complex character of President Barack Obama? What emerges is not the usual stuff of politics, but a series of life lessons inspired by a man who can often seem frustratingly unflustered by the crises and chaos around him. Russell Razzaque examines Obama's appeal to voters, and his coolness under pressure, with the sharp eye of a psychiatrist trying to make sense of success and failure. - Richard Wolffe, Author of Renegade: The Making of a President and Revival: The Struggle for Survival Inside the Obama White House.
Barack Obama has been called the Zen president because of his inner calm, a state of being that psychiatrist Russell Razzaque believes is a measure of emotional intelligence, and the basis for Obama's likeability. Razzaque puts Obama on the couch, assesses how he handles crises, how he responds to adversity, and how the rest of us can learn "Obama Karma" through meditations and various exercises to boost our emotional intelligence, and be cool like the president. - Eleanor Clift, co-author with Matthew Spieler, of Selecting a President.
Obama has the kind of self-confidence that only comes from knowing yourself well. He's emotionally intelligent. The stories in Obama Karma show you how he got that way. Touré, author of Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness?: What It Means to Be Black Now

district6 Jan 7, 2009 9:32 AM
in response to Jeff LambertWe deployed our first Intel Xserve about 2 weeks ago with 10.5.6. About a week ago, Spotlight server started having some issues where one Tiger client would get zero results searching the shares. Then two days later, there was a handful of Tiger clients with the same issue. On Monday, the issue cleared up. Yesterday, one by one, Tiger clients stopped having the ability to search the shares, while Leopard clients (10.5.5 & 10.5.6) continued fine. A reboot of the server cleared up the issue.
We use POSIX permissions and specific ACLs to control access. Our POSIX Other group is set to "none" on all the shares. I noticed that with 10.5.6 that a Spotlight ACL gets added to each shared volume. That wasn't present on 10.5.5 (even though we deployed the server with 10.5.6 out of the gate, we tested 10.5.5 & 10.5.4).
Since we deployed the server with 10.5.6 and we re-indexed all of our existing shares, I'm not sure that 10.5.6 solves all Spotlight issues, as it is odd how we lost all Spotlight ability on every single Tiger client.
Mike Matthews Jan 7, 2009 10:21 AM
in response to district6We have all Leopard clients so we haven't seen the Tiger issue you've described.
I noticed the spotlight ACL, too. I suspect that's part of the solution.
district6 Jan 7, 2009 10:53 AM
in response to Mike MatthewsIt appears our issue has something to do with mdworker using the fontimporter process to try and validate a font, and then that validation fails. This can be seen in Console>Log Database Queries>All Messages.
Log Files>/Library/Logs>CrashReporter shows mdworker crashing during that time.
We have lots of fonts on our shares. I wasn't aware that Leopard server also tries to validate fonts as Leopard client does. I wonder if some of these fonts are not Leopard-worthy and have issues, or if it's just fonts in general that cause Spotlight to have issues when trying to index them.
Bert Sierra Jan 7, 2009 1:17 PM
in response to district6I noticed the Spotlight ACL that was being added to our new shares as well with OS X Server 10.5.6. The Spotlight user (local UID=89) has been around for some time, since at least OS X Server 10.5.3, but this new ACL addition seems to have appeared in OS X Server 10.5.6, possibly related to changes in how content is indexed.
I was able to clear up our long-standing Spotlight problems for Leopard clients by making sure the Spotlight user has read privileges on all files needing indexing, and list+traverse privileges on all folders that contain them. I did this by adding explicit ACLs on all network shares. Although Tiger-based clients are still getting zero Spotlight matches from network shares, I'm hoping that will clear up with a reboot of our servers as it did for district6.
A few comments about Apple's Spotlight ACL are in order:
First of all, the ACL doesn't appear on its own when you upgrade to OS X Server 10.5.6. I found that I had to turn sharing off, then on, for each network share for the new ACL to appear.
Second, the ACL only applies to the topmost folder for shares with existing content. Inheritance is enabled in the ACL which will apply to new folders that are created from the top level, but this won't apply other folders in an existing hierarchy. You either need to propagate permissions yourself, or manually execute a shell command as shown below.
Third, the ACL only grants Spotlight directory list+traverse privileges to enclosing folders (aka "r-x" to directories in POSIX terms), but does NOT explicitly grant read privileges for Spotlight to access files. In our case, we have POSIX world read privileges turned off on all files and folders on most network shares, and use ACLs which require users to be members of our groups for any access. Although you can add the Spotlight user to these groups to grant access, we still ended up with a couple of spots on our shares where Spotlight didn't have access (such as in network-based Drop folders where individual users, and not groups, had read access). The best solution for us was to propagate a Spotlight ACL to grant Spotlight specific rights. You can either add this at the top of each network share (or volume) and propagate it in Server Admin, or as we did with a little shell programming (note that this command will fail for any folders containing existing ACLs that are not in canonical order to begin with):
sudo chmod -R +ai "user:_spotlight allow read,readattr,list,search,fileinherit,directoryinherit" /path/to/share
or if you prefer for the Server Admin GUI:
[ ] Administration
[-] Read
[X] Read Attributes
[ ] Read Extended Attributes
[X] List Folder Contents (Read Data)
[X] Traverse Folder (Execute File)
[ ] Read Permissions
[ ] Write
[X] Inheritance
[X] Apply to this folder
[X] Apply to child folders
[X] Apply to child files
[X] Apply to all descendants
Without paying attention to the Spotlight user for indexing, what you end up with is that only the files that are owned by LOCAL server users (such as the Administrator) will be included in the Spotlight index. All content for network clients, and those with network or mobile home folders will be excluded. This explains what we orginally saw: our Spotlight indices were way too small and only included files owned by the administrator and certain other server-based local users. In fact, there is an mdworker process that is launched for each local user, and a separate one for the Spotlight user which catalogs all the other files, such as those owned by users running from client machines or who own network-based or mobile home folders. Their content will be exluded from the Spotlight catalog unless the Spotlight user can readlisttraverse all the necessary content.
One way to do this as others have pointed out is to grant world read privileges to all files either in POSIX or via ACLs. Though this is a simple fix, this may open up security holes that you don't want. Another way, which we did at first, was to add the Spotlight user to your security groups, but as I mentioned this didn't work for network Drop Folders and other spots where special ACLs were in effect which didn't grant group readlisttraverse privileges. The best solution for us was to propagate the type of ACL previously shown.
Hope this helps solve any problems you're having with Spotlight.
Bert Sierra Jan 7, 2009 1:53 PM
in response to steviestarThe "mdls" and "mdfind" tools, when executed from the OS X Server side, are a great way to quickly determine whether or not Spotlight Server is working properly.
Steviestar (and others) have pointed out that "mdls" returns rather sparse file-related information if a file is excluded in the Spotlight index (I count exactly 15 attributes returned using OS X Server 10.5.x), and fatter information is returned if the content for the file is included in the Spotlight index. What I find helpful is to simply ask for the value of the kMDItemContentType attribute, as shown below. This seems to be a simple way to quickly determine if the content is in the index: mdls shows "(null)" if the content hasn't been indexed, and the content type if it has been indexed:
mdls -name kMDItemContentType /path/to/file
I don't trust mdls when run from the client side as there's additional layers of software and networking going on, but of course this is the definitive way to know if Spotlight is running properly at both ends.
The "mdfind" command is also a great way to figure out if your Spotlight Server index includes everything you want. For example, you can use the following command to locate all PDFs included in the index, allowing you to spot major indexing holes relatively quickly:
mdfind "kMDItemContentType = com.adobe.pdf"
Hope this helps.
tiiger Jan 14, 2009 2:09 PM
in response to Bert Sierrahopefully I've read all the posts, and I'm not repeating anything here, but...
THIS IS APPARENTLY A BUG IN 10.5.6 Software Update. Clients on our network were having no trouble searching until they updated to 10.5.6... One machine is still at 10.5.3 and it searches just fine.
Good luck.

in response to Jeff Lambertsame problem with a fresh new 10.5.6 xserver. Spotlight is running well with 10.5 client but it's very very very long on 10.4 clients...
JohnAris@ Mar 2, 2009 11:32 PM
in response to dmoreapplied server 10.5.6 it seems to work on the share point but searching on some specific folders under the share does not find the anything? has anybody experience this?
how are you guys searching from the root share or you can also search specific folders under the root share?
Server = 10.5.6
clients = 10.5.6, plus one 10.5.5
Georgemaxim Mar 20, 2009 12:19 PM
in response to Jeff LambertHey guys,
The spotlight server, in my case does not search on my 10.5.6, searches only on mounted volumes. When I click in finder on my server, there are many shares, If I only connect to one the search of spotlight on shared, searches only on mounted volumes!!!. If I connect to all volumes under the "_my server_" in finder, the search will look under SHARED in all *network volumes mounted*.
Dunno If I make any sense to ya all here ... but for me it solves the problem of searching under Share in finder. Also did +sudo mdutil -s /Volumes/*+ and a couple of other commands to ensure that spotlight server is indexing the volumes on witch I search thing on server.
If anyone did not understood this reply please feel free to comment.

Jim Cramer explains why the analysts could be wrong when it comes to Apple. » Read More
Merry Christmas! The ECB's decision to inject half a trillion (trillion!) into the global marketplace (technically, they are providing what is essentially unlimited loans at a fixed fate for the next couple weeks) is definitely giving equities a shot in the arm this morning. This should put some pressure on bonds, lower LIBOR rates, and maybe prop up the dollar a bit.
Housing starts and earnings from Goldman Sachs and Best Buy are among the headlines the stock market will care about ahead of Tuesday's open.
Some companies -- Goldman Sachs, Best Buy, Research in Motion -- are too good to be down for long.Investing can be confusing. Luckily, Cramer has mapped out some road rules for all you Home Gamers trying to navigate the jungle that is Wall Street. Think of it as "Mad Money 101" –- some fundamental advice to keep in mind as you play the market. Whether you're a first time investor or a seasoned financier, it's always good to remember the basics.
Holiday 2007 hasn't even happened yet but buyers and retailers are beginning to stock the shelves and clothing racks for 2008. With that in mind, I put together a list of some of the biggest questions that the retail industry is mulling over right now that will affect 2008.
Head on over to West 14th and 9th Ave. in New York's meat-packing district, and you'll see something big and bright from the fruits and veggies set: A 3-story retail bonanza courtesy of Apple Inc. It's the company's second largest store in the nation, behind its flagship store here in nearby San Francisco.

Weakness in housing may be dragging down other stocks. Oppenheimer Chief Market Technician Carter Worth recommends a closer look.
U.S. online shoppers spent a record $733 million in a single day on "Cyber Monday," according to market research firm comScore.
Discounters, department stores and chains that sell electronics and teen fashions lured big crowds over the weekend as the holiday shopping season got off to a strong start.
Retailers are hoping last week's strong start to the holiday shopping season at malls and stores translates into a busy buying season online, which officially begins Monday. A number of retailers are hosting one-day sales or special offers for the occasion. Internet research firm comScore estimated online sales may exceed $700 million.
Shoppers jammed stores before dawn Friday to grab discounted TVs, toys and clothing for the official start of the holiday season, expected to be the weakest retail showing in five years.
The U.S. holiday shopping season kicked off Thursday even before the turkey was carved, as retailers, worried that gift buying may slow this year, posted special deals on their Web sites on Thanksgiving day.
The unofficial start to the holiday shopping season is just around the corner and Dev Shapiro has left nothing to chance. The Dallas resident and veteran bargain hunter has spent the last three weeks developing a plan of attack for Black Friday sales, the day after Thanksgiving when retailers across the country slash prices on everything from flat screen TV's to the hottest Christmas toys.
Finally! A positive headline about retail: "An Exceptional Black Friday Weekend for Cold Weather Items" is the title of the latest report from Weather Trends International. One thing that's working in favor of retail sales is the weather turning 40 degrees colder midweek throughout the Central U.S.
Sony appears to be coming up with a winning formula. Amazing what a steep price cut will do, but you can't argue with success. Howard Stringer, Sony's CEO, is on the wires saying Sony sold over 100,000 PlayStation 3 units last week, calling the results "the breakthrough we've been anticipating."
U.S. stores may seem less crowded this holiday season, with one research firm predicting a 2.5 percent drop in foot traffic this year.
So a week has passed since my first post on the drama surrounding the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray next generation format war. Hundreds of emails, though the pro Blu-ray, anti-Jim emails outnumbered the HD DVD side by better than ten to one. Not sure what message that sends, but maybe I angered the Blu-ray folks more than I satisfied the HD folks.
October was not kind to Wal-Mart even with the promotional pricing and marketing campaign that the world's biggest retailer has been pushing. The only sales growth at Wal-Mart stores was at its Sam's Club division (+2.7%) which helped boost the overall Wal-Mart comp to a meager .4% gain.
Could it be a "black-and-blue" Friday for Blu-ray? There are rumblings about a big announcement coming from Wal-Mart that could give a big boost to HD-DVD. I'm hearing that the company will begin selling the Toshiba HD-A2 for $98 in a special one-day, in-store secret sale. The unit sells for $198 at Circuit City and Amazon, so this is a steep discount.
Here's an update to my previous post: Best Buy now confirms it will match Wal-Mart's $98 HD-DVD sale on Friday on the Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player. The web site Gizmodo says Best Buy online is already sold out, but that local pick-up might work. And Blu-ray? The ball's in your court.

Getting SMART about Commerce in the Social Era

Erin Mcelroy, Program Director, Social Business Systems of Engagement, IBM
The theme for the IBM Smarter Commerce Global Summit this year is Moments Matter. As people descend on the Tampa Convention Center on May 12-15, I am excited to see how IBM is helping the top brands in the world capitalize on the moment at hand – the rise of Generation S, where the "S" stands for Social.
Generation S – Changing the World
What is Generation S and what does it have to do with commerce? Well, earlier this year, we decided to capture how the world has changed because of social. We asked people of Generation S, which transcends race, age, and socioeconomics, and is defined purely based on the use of social technologies, to tell us how social has changed their lives. The resulting video, How Our World Has Changed, boils down to one common theme: while human interaction has always driven commerce, it's the digital enablement of that human interaction that is shifting the nature of how we live our lives, and in turn, of how we buy. The net of it is, people are driving commerce like never before.
Commerce – Driven by People
You might say that people have always driven commerce, product innovation, etc. But which people? Your next new product may not come from a select group of product designers in a closed-door design session, but from the social web and from within company networks across time zones and cultures. And why not innovate for the Asian market, for example, from people who live there?
Convenience is King
When I was a kid, I remember the term, convenience store. They were really popular with the baby boomers, who considered them a big innovation. For Generation S, convenience means online stores, customer ratings, the ability to tell their friends about it, an app with rich content and images, and the ability to subscribe to promotions, which had better be good.
Are you plugged in?
Customers are making buying decisions based on the advice and experiences of people they've never met. So the fundamental question is, are you plugged into Generation S? Are able to listen and are you listening?
In the words of @PeterShankman, "Companies just don't put the time and effort into [social]…they don't realize that you can actually generate hard core revenue from this…Hard core revenue, like a lot of money."
Beyond the basics of having a digital presence, are you treating your digital customers with as much care as you do your in-store patrons? Being digitally-savvy is table stakes in the commerce game, and the digital grapevine is powerful. Companies that embrace, engage, and capitalize on the social current will thrive and those who do not will miss the moment and the opportunity.
We are excited to share this moment with the world at the IBM Smarter Commerce Global Summit. It's going to be a moment not to be missed. Hope to see you there.

* It's hard to find individual moments, but in general: Anton Chigurh is the scary foreign Film/{{Terminator}}. Everything about him is unsettling. On top of that, there's the bleak, eerie {{film noir}}ish atmosphere, [[DaylightHorror even in the daytime]]. And then there's gunshots and blood everywhere, and special mention goes to Anton's [[http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/No_Country_for_Old_Men#Captive_Bolt_Pistol captive bolt pistol]].
** Once you get past the Terminator feel of Anton and start examining his philosophical outlook on life, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality if you can even begin to comprehend it,]] it takes the nightmare fuel that he exudes to a whole new level. WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic said it best: "Total shit-your-pants philosophy."
** The fact that [[spoiler:he's still at large when the film ends]] doesn't help at all.
** It's pretty safe to say that any scene featuring Chigurh is bound to leave viewers clenching their teeth. Wherever he goes, death seems to be not that far behind, and that is only made worse by the characters who don't know ''who'' they are talking to.

Brazil spends some 10 billion dollars a year on health care for smokers — more than three times the tax revenue from the tobacco industry in this country, which is the world's top exporter and second producer of tobacco.
The effects of tobacco consumption in Brazil can be measured by the economic impact, according to a study by the state Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), dedicated to public health, and the Alliance for the Control of Tobacco Use (ACT), a civil society organisation.
The report 'Carga das doenças tabaco-relacionadas para o Brasil' (Burden of tobacco-related diseases in Brazil), launched by ACT in Brasilia May 31, says the costs of treating smoking-related illnesses like cancer, heart disease, lung diseases and strokes is equivalent to 0.5 percent of GDP.
ACT executive director Paula Johns told IPS that the study calculated the costs of treatment of the 15 main tobacco-related illnesses. But she pointed out that overall, smoking plays a role in 50 diseases.
'The tobacco industry takes no responsibility for the cost, and argues that it pays a lot in taxes. The burden of treating the diseases falls on the public health sector,' she said.
In 2011, the total tax revenue from Brazil's tobacco industry amounted to three billion dollars, less than one-third of state expenditure on treating patients with tobacco-related ailments.
According to Johns, taxes on the sector should be at least tripled, to cover the costs that active and passive smokers will generate after two or three decades of smoking. 'In addition, indirect costs like early retirement should be taken into account,' she said.
Brazil has a population of nearly 200 million, of whom 25 million people are smokers, 15 million of them men. But Johns said the bad news is that women and children are beginning to smoke more, and from an earlier age.
The aim of the study is to demonstrate the need for more regulation of the tobacco industry and for more investment in prevention measures to curb addiction to smoking.
'Prevention is not just about running educational campaigns; access to cigarettes must be made harder, with higher prices and fewer sales outlets,' Johns said.
A pack of cigarettes in Brazil now sells for three dollars.
The country is the world's second largest tobacco producer, after China and ahead of India and the United States. Last year 85 percent of Brazil's tobacco was sold abroad, making it the leading tobacco exporter, a position it has held since 1993. Foreign sales brought in 2.89 billion dollars.
The ACT study, the first to measure the economic impact of smoking in Brazil, describes the profile of the country's smokers as predominantly black, poor, rural dwellers with limited education.
The study reported that 20 percent of smokers began before the age of 15, and most of the rest started before they were 19.
Another indicator that alarms the authorities struggling to reduce consumption is that 60 percent of teenagers who start smoking do so with cigarettes containing additives with flavours such as cherry, chocolate or mint.
Study coordinator Márcia Pinto said the economic cost to the state could be reduced to a minimum because all the diseases caused by smoking can be prevented.
'All that money could be invested in vaccination programmes, wider access to cancer diagnosis and treatment, and sanitation programmes,' Pinto, of the Fernandes Figueira Institute which is part of Fiocruz, told IPS.
Pinto, who coordinates a team of six researchers, has been studying different aspects of the tobacco industry for 12 years. She emphasises that measuring the cost of smoking for the country is essential in order to promote public policies to prevent children, teenagers and women from being drawn into consumption.
The expert pointed out that smoking is the cause of 90 percent of cases of lung diseases.
The study found that heart disease, followed by lung diseases including lung cancer, and strokes, accounted for 83 percent of smoking-related costs in the public health system.
In 2011, about 30 percent of the total budget of the National Health Fund (FNS) which manages the resources of the state unified health system (SUS) was devoted to treating smoking-related illnesses.
In spite of this, the study says, the average life expectancy of smokers is at least five years less than that of the general population.
'Smokers lose five years of their lives. Tobacco addiction is an illness, and it is also related to alcoholism and a sedentary lifestyle,' said Pinto.
The 10 billion dollars a year devoted to health care for smokers could be used instead to provide basic sanitation throughout Brazil, which will require an investment of six billion dollars a year over the next two decades, according to the environmental health department of the University of São Paulo.
The same figure represents half the annual budget of the Growth Acceleration Programme (PAC), the second phase of which was launched by President Dilma Rousseff to provide the infrastructure the country needs.
The emblematic social housing programme 'Minha casa, minha vida' (My House, My Life), aimed at reducing the housing deficit, cost the government 6.2 billion dollars in 2011, considerably less than what smokers cost the public health system.
Smoking is responsible for the deaths of 5.4 million people worldwide every year, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
WHO predicts more fatalities in future: in 2030, deaths from smoking will total eight million, 80 percent of them in developing countries.
The global cost of smoking-related illnesses is 500 billion dollars a year, according to the American Cancer Society.

the first 30 seconds of an interval is not accounted by XP/NP. XP & NP needs the preceding 30 seconds in order to do the (exponential/power) averaging
np is supposed to represent like training equivalent to better capture higher-power bursts and the non-linear stress they cause relative to steady riding.
so... I guess I'm wrong. No idea how you would ride to get 380AP and 300NP..
oh, there you go @echappist got it.
anyway, from what I've read NP is really only valuable for time periods longer than 10 or 12 minutes.
If you have a lot of variability in NP and average power during a race it just means it was a hard race and the NP is a good number to use along with the difference to show how hard it was. If it is during an interval, especially one that is on the short side, it means that your effort was not paced well and you should try and even things out a bit more. I use the NP number that I get back from an interval and shoot to hit that for my next average number and use it for pacing. Under ideal situations you should be able to hold your NP number for the duration, once you get NP = average you are pretty much as efficient as you are going to get for that effort.
I have found that by targeting my NP for the next interval I get a much better workout in and it has made my intervals much more efficient. So use np, but I score my short intervals based on average power and my longer efforts (the whole ride) and races based on NP and the difference between NP and average.
oh ... and if x power was NP in your chart then I will assume that your software does not handle the shorter intervals very well and the missing 30 seconds really ruins the numbers and makes them near useless. My software will use some type of estimation to still create a valid NP number for shorter intervals hence allowing me to use it for pacing those as well. However the additional estimation of the first 30 seconds really makes it a less accurate number with the shorter distances, but still gives me a good pacing indicator. You don't seem to be getting that from your software.
this course (hilly and always windy) at exactly the same average power for each work interval.
kindablue: you should consider recovering at 70% FTP instead of JRA, at least for the first two minutes of each recovery interval.

Hey I got a question. I'm trying to use a spreadsheet to calculate ATL, CTL & TSB.
When I look online, I find the same general formula for ATL & CTL, but I can't find a consistent time constant and I would rather not take the time going through derivations. I find these three constants popping up:
(1) ATL constant = 1/7, CTL constant = 1/42
(2) ATL constant = 2/(7+1), CTL constant = 2/(42+1)
(3) ATL constant = exp(-1/7), CTL constant = exp(-1/42)
I don't know how to compute exponentially weighted averages. Number 3 seems way off - seems too close to one.
Number one seems best. Starting out with extreme negative, balancing out to +/- 10 most of the time, and being negative most of march with a low of -32 last Saturday.
Also wondering what's a good range of TSB to hit during recovery.
Using (1), last three blocks recoveries I hit barely positive (then hovered around 0 for the whole block), +25 recovery (decreased steadily to ~0 through block), and +10 recovery (most of last block was negative).

Chronic Training Load = [Todays TSS * (1-e^(-1/42)] + {Yesterdays CTL * (e^(-1/42)]
ATL is the same but with 7 (well 5 to 10 days depending)
You basically need a spreadsheet to do this without some complex database calculations. Using Excel you just need to calculate your score for your CTL using your previous CTL and current TSS scores and add in todays score.
I assume you are using a spreadsheet to do this, without it would be very hard.
Note that exp(-1/42) is pretty close to 41/42, and exp(-1/7) is pretty close to 6/7. You can reasonably just calculate today's ATL as 6/7*yesterday's ATL + 1/7*today's TSS, and CTL as 41/42*yesterday's CTL +1/42*today's TSS.
ATL/CTL, and TSS itself, are obviously just estimates. Getting the decay constant "right" to some number of significant digits isn't as important as being consistent with the inputs, and most of all actually using the information in some way to guide your training.
My TSB usually gets up around +10 or +15 by the end of a recovery week. It's a balance between losing enough fatigue that you can maximize your hard work during the next block of work, and still maximizing your overall fitness.
Last edited by globecanvas; 04-03-14 at 07:50 PM.
For CTL you are not going to see much drift at all using the non exp formula, for ATL you will seem some drift as that number is much further off (7% give or take). As you are using a spreadsheet you might as well use the exp(-1/42) formula, but as they say 5 to 10 days for ATL, it is really a swag and once again the simple equation might be just as good as long as you are consistent. I think it is important to note your RPE and basic feelings on days that feel odd so that you can see how well the form/fatigue numbers work for you.
I have found that the form numbers don't really work that well for me and I am still trying to tweak my spreadsheet to better predict how RPE and results equate to the TSS and other numbers. TSS and CTL vs ATL have been very useful, just not in the simple way of CTL-ATL = form.
Jmikami thanks for the insightful response!
Nothing should come between you and your chamois -- lawkd
FWIW, I did the Allen and Coggan 20' test protocol about 2 months ago on a trainer and averaged 223W on the 20' interval, for a calculated FTP of 212, and at 75kg, not so good. Fast forward to last weekend, I went on one of my first group rides of the season with some fast locals. One is a pro. 45 mile ride, hilly (3k elevation). After going pretty hard for the first 2/3s of the ride, I got dropped on the long run in home that was mostly uphill, nothing over 3%, and headwind, smooth pavement, no stop signs. Not only did I have the mild uphills and head wind, but I had another dropped rider ahead of me to chase. I decide to do a hard time trial and averaged 283 watts for 30 min back into town. I'm highly skeptical my threshold would truly climb that much after 2 months of base training minus 1.5 weeks with stomach flu, so now I'm leery of doing any testing on a trainer.
THe actual expression are as follows
ATL (today) = ATL(yesterday) * (exp (-1/7)) + TSS (today) * (1-exp(-1/7))
CTL (today) = CTL(yesterday) * (exp (-1/42)) + TSS (today) * (1-exp(-1/42))
also, one last note, for globecanvas's point, an exponential may be written as an infinite series, names exp(x) = 1 + x + x^2/2! + x^3/3! +...; you cut it off after two terms, with x = -1/7, you get exp(-1/7) ~ 1 + (-1/7)

Facebook, Zynga, Fortinet: Tech Premarket
TheStreet) -- Facebook (FB - Get Report) was a big loser in premarket trading on Thursday as the social networker prepares to report its first quarterly results as a public company. The Menlo Park, Calif.-based firm, which made an eventful IPO in May, slipped 5.83% to $27.63 ahead of its second-quarter results. Facebook, which reports after market close, is also one of the most active premarket Nasdaq stocks on share volume of 923,400.Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are looking for Facebook to report revenue of $1.15 billion and earnings of 12 cents a share. Facebook partner Zynga (ZNGA - Get Report), however, is an even bigger laggard, tumbling 40.33% to $3.03 after its weak second-quarter earnings report on Wednesday. The social gamer, which derives a significant portion of its revenue from Facebook, reported second-quarter earnings of 1 cent a share on $332 million in revenue. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of 6 cents a share and revenue of $344.85 million. Zynga is also the most active premarket Nasdaq stock on share volume of 4,432,187. Hard drive maker Western Digital (WDC - Get Report) is a big gainer, rising 17.03% to $38 after reporting strong fourth-quarter results and offering robust guidance on Wednesday. Western Digital's beat also boosted rival Seagate (STX - Get Report), pushing the company's shares up 12.5% to $29.60 before market open. Seagate, which reported certain preliminary numbers earlier this month, reports its full fourth-quarter results on Monday. Security specialist Fortinet (FTNT - Get Report) is another winner on Thursday, rising 12.51% to $25.19 as investors respond positively to the company's healthy second-quarter results on Wednesday.

I only got serious about lifting 10 months ago. I did it 20 yrs ago in college, but didn't know how to put together a good routine or how to eat. I have always been on the tall side and I worked my ass off just to break 190 lbs on the scale back then. I am 208 now, and stronger and heavier than ever in college, and I'm now 43 yrs old.
Anyway, I stumbled across WBB last fall, and lurked for a month or two. I decided in January this year to being doing the WBB 1.1 Routine. I ate far more protein than ever before. I saw encouraging beginner gains, and my enthusiasm grew.
However, what I have discovered over the last 6 months or so is that when it comes to weightlifting, your mind can be your best motivator or your worst enemy. I have a long range goal of bulking until next Feb or March, and then cutting for about 6 weeks or more for summer.
Here comes the brain-is-your-worst-enemy part.. I've been eating like a monster and the lifts are going up, although much more slowly than last spring. I own both a scale and an Omron BF tester. I have seen BF percentages range from 17% down to 15% over the summer. After stalling for a few months, I got serious about eating again, and the weight has gone up. BUT.... The old Omron showed a BF % of a whopping 18.3% yesterday morning, and suddenly I find myself fretting over fat. Damn you, brain of mine...
I think I need someone to say "Quit being a schizophrenic about it, and stay the course." In fact, I KNOW this to be true. But the psyche can really short circuit the process if you let it. So.... Having said all that: Where's my protein shake...?

An inverse head and shoulders would be confirmed if we break through the neckline at 27.50 with volume. If so, PT would be 30 to 31 depending on volume levels. Short term catalysts: Hilton IPO, closing of two stock sales, bid for Devon finalizes, etc.
Sentiment: Buy
never heard of an inverse H-S-H.....I dont see any formation here on BX...
Inverse head and shoulder started Oct. 22nd and completed Nov. 25. Volume was not as high as I would like, so we will see if increases after the holidays. Volume picks up, we should see 31 next month.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Looking back at my technical call made on Nov. 22nd (with the inverse H&S confirmed on Nov 27th), the stock is up nearly 9% with room to go. I still see $31 maybe $32 EOY. Then, I am hoping for $31.50 to $32 in late December or early January and then a pullback to $28 range after that. This is where i will buy some 2015 LEAPS calls as they will like be able to monetize the Hilton IPO in 2015.
For the past 3 weeks, BX has trading around 27.50 range. Today is option expiration day.
After hours there are blocks above 50,000 to 100,000 at prices in 26 to 27 range.
We cannot say, if it is accumulation, distribution, or cosolidation.
Looking at KKR it is also moving today.
There is lot of overhead supply and it will take few more weeks to know the course.

In case anyone is interested, Trader's Expo in Las Vegas is going on right now. You can view the sessions for free online. I have been listening to them today while trading at my computer. There is one session coming up at 2:45PM PST about finding better entry and exit points. Another at 4:00PM PST about spotting short term market turns. And another one at 5:30PM PST about advanced Fibonacci Time and Price analysis. They should be interesting. At least they are for free.
