Post your jungle flasher log
Did you spoof your dummy.bin to target in jf?
hello guyz i want to ask if this is an issue in 0225 lt2.0
i got 0225(not mislabeled) mxic drive in which i used sputnik and flashed it with lt 1.91 first time
no problems encounterd at all
now i just flashed to lt 2.0(all steps went smoothly i did lock and outro) with source being my original dummy i used for 1.91 but now i sometimes not always get " play DVD" with the originals and backups
so is this an issue with firmware or something else
Post your jungle flasher log
Did you spoof your dummy.bin to target in jf?
Last edited by Flipmode; 10-13-2011 at 06:11 PM. Reason: more info
i cancel the log save
the spoofing was done automatically by JF
what i did was i 1st used the old unlock program
then used newest jungle flasher to flash and i verified the key
then i flashed the drive till verification confirmed
then went to older JF1.86 to relock the drive then did outro
key is still the same and verified as LT2.0 0225 with correct key
did i miss something or LT2.0 isnt compatible with my drive, and why does it sometimes work and others not)
JF doesn't automatically spoof the key so that is why you are having this problem, load your ofw or dummy as source and the 2.0 as target then PUSH THE SPOOF BUTTON and reflash.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you load your original firmware, it will ask you if you want to auto load LT+, in this case I think it does auto spoof the key.
But I still suggest you do reflash by spoofing the key manually. This way you know for sure what it's doing.

If I helped you, please click the "Thanks" button
thank you for the reply
but im sure the key was spoofed correctly(used dummy.bin) and its verified now under JF
the problem has now went away on its own (90% of time game play 10% still play dvd and its a random issue not a game specific thing)
+ if you had the wrong key spoofed i think it always says play dvd not at random times but i still dont know if there is a glitch or something and if im at going to get banned if get online
im going to revert back to 1.92 or to OFW and see what happens and report

Consider the following procedure (whose input is $N$) that picks increasing numbers from the set $\{ 1, \dots, N \}$ until it picks $N$:
i := 0
K_i := 1
while K_i < N
pick a number K_{i+1} from the set { K_i, ..., N } uniformly at random
i = i + 1
How many times do we expect the loop to be executed?
I expect $O(\log N)$ times myself: every round, we expect about half of the remaining numbers to be removed, which should result in $O(\log N)$ rounds. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to prove this. Markov's inequality trivially gives you that you will only throw away a constant fraction with constant probability, but if you wish this to happen $O(\log N)$ times in a row, your probability estimate goes to 0 as $N$ goes to infinity.
Apparently (while I was randomly looking through books for help) the above problem is quite suited to a Markov chain formulation, except I am not familiar with them and have no idea how to use that to get the expected value I want. When the book told me I was supposed to evaluate determinants through Cramer's rule and provided an example which was not at all clear to me, I gave up.
The above problem came up when analyzing a probable counterexample for an algorithm I have been working on. The actual probabilities involved are not uniformly random, but I think the above problem captures the essence of my problems, so an answer would probably help me enough to solve my own problem. If the number of rounds indeed increases as $N$ increases, then my (counter)example would indeed be a counterexample.

We each sketched out a plan. In addition to meeting with Jan, Elizabeth would take two aerobics classes and do an extra training session, and she would cycle to and from Chelsea Piers, one mile each way. Marcia would walk, do weights at home, and meet with Jan when she wasn't traveling on business. Karen promised to increase her treadmill pace, add strength training at the gym, and bump her five weekly workouts up to six. And I signed up for physical therapy twice a week for my back, yoga once a week, and at least one weekly solo strength-training or walking session.
The first results were psychological. "I feel better, and I'm able to exercise longer," Elizabeth said after just three weeks. Marcia dug her treadmill out of the basement and installed it in her bedroom. "Seeing it there morning and night, I started walking more, making excuses less," she said. Karen sweated on the cardio machines at paces she'd never before considered. "My body truly craves movement and getting stronger," she said. I had the same feeling. It was glorious to be moving again. I was sleeping better too. And we all committed ourselves to eating better. Who wants to do all that work and then blow it over dinner?
30 Days In: Getting into the Groove
After one month, I showed up at breakfast in a sports bra and shorts. "What happened to your belly?" my husband asked. I beamed. My abs, arms, thighs, and posture all looked better, my face was slimmer, and my clothes felt looser. That was fast! I hadn't lost much weight, but I'd probably replaced some fluffy fat with muscle. My back didn't hurt. I was trying harder yoga poses, like pigeon, and holding them longer. I hopped on my bike one day, got lost and came home two hours later — and felt fine the next day.
Elizabeth reported that she had shifted from being "the fat middle-aged woman in the back of the class" and was "reconnecting with the fit person" she once was. She felt stronger, but her pants were just as tight. Though she was burning thousands more calories a week, she'd lost just one pound. Jan suspected that Elizabeth had unknowingly increased her eating and suggested that she watch the calories of her snacks and meals. Marcia was having trouble squeezing in workouts between traveling for work and getting her son off to his new boarding school. Jan worked with her on finding ways to exercise during her commute (small seated moves she could do on the train) and at hotels (find a gym, climb the stairs, walk outside). If Marcia could find time for short sessions throughout the day — 15 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes at lunch, 20 minutes after dinner — that would add up to a significant 45-minute workout by day's end.
Karen, on the other hand, was going strong every morning at 6:30 a.m. Jan coaxed her onto an arc trainer that uses both arms and legs in a simulated hiking motion, thereby working more muscles for optimal toning and calorie burning. Karen bought an iPod and, in cardio rapture, cranked up her favorite tunes.
60 Days In: Stepping Up the Routine
Two months after we started, I'd gone down a pants size. I was keeping up with the workouts and squeezing in exercises here and there — a few squats while folding laundry, pliés as I brushed my teeth — anything to move more. (See tips from trainer Jan Griscom on page 6.) A heavier workload made it harder to carve out workout time, but I bought a bike seat so I could tote my toddler around town. And thankfully, my scheduled physical-therapy appointments were marked on the calendar. (Funny how you keep an appointment you have to pay for.) Those got me going a few times a week, so I never wandered too far off track.
Karen wasn't happy with the scale, so Jan suggested she cut out her Weight Watchers bonus points (extra food you earn by exercising) and stick to her core diet. Elizabeth, feeling fit, was even more frustrated that she hadn't lost another ounce. And Marcia was doing what she could. She took a longer walk to the train instead of her usual shortcut and exercised about half an hour a day on weekends.

(3) At the adjudicatory hearing, parents or guardians with disabilities shall have the right to introduce admissible evidence regarding how use of adaptive equipment or supportive services may enable the parent or guardian to carry out the responsibilities of parenting the child by addressing the reason for the removal of the child.
(4) If a preponderance of the evidence at the adjudicatory hearing shows that the child comes within the court's jurisdiction under this chapter upon the grounds set forth in section 16-1603, Idaho Code, the court shall so decree and in its decree shall make a finding on the record of the facts and conclusions of law upon which it exercises jurisdiction over the child.

(b) Vest legal custody in the department or other authorized agency subject to residual parental rights and subject to full judicial review by the court of all matters relating to the custody of the child by the department or other authorized agency.
(6) If the court vests legal custody in the department or other authorized agency, the court shall make detailed written findings based on facts in the record, that, in addition to the findings required in subsection (4) of this section, continuation of residence in the home would be contrary to the welfare of the child and that vesting legal custody with the department or other authorized agency would be in the best interests of the child. In addition the court shall make detailed written findings based on facts in the record as to whether the department made reasonable efforts to prevent the placement of the child in foster care, including findings, when appropriate, that:
(a) Reasonable efforts were made but were not successful in eliminating the need for foster care placement of the child;
(b) The department made reasonable efforts to prevent removal but was not able to safely provide preventive services;
(c) Reasonable efforts to temporarily place the child with related persons were made but were not successful; or

(7) A decree vesting legal custody in the department shall be binding upon the department and may continue until the child's eighteenth birthday.
(8) A decree vesting legal custody in an authorized agency other than the department shall be for a period of time not to exceed the child's eighteenth birthday, and on such other terms as the court shall state in its decree to be in the best interests of the child and which the court finds to be acceptable to such authorized agency.
(9) In order to preserve the unity of the family system and to ensure the best interests of the child whether issuing an order of protective supervision or an order of legal custody, the court may consider extending or initiating a protective order as part of the decree. The protective order shall be determined as in the best interests of the child and upon a showing of continuing danger to the child. The conditions and terms of the protective order shall be clearly stated in the decree.
(10) If the court does not find that the child comes within the jurisdiction of this chapter pursuant to subsection (4) of this section it shall dismiss the petition.

Night Shift
NBC has renewed new medical drama series "The Night Shift" for a second season of fourteen episodes, an expansion on the eight ordered for the first season. The series centers on the medical staff of San Antonio Memorial Hospital who work the night shift.
Averaging 6.9 million viewers per episode, it has become the network's third most-watched drama on NBC this season behind only "The Blacklist" and "Chicago Fire". It's also the number one new scripted series on network and cable this summer in ages 18-49. [Source: Variety]
Universal Television and "Da Vinci's Demons" producer David S. Goyer have optioned the TV rights to Christopher Golden's just released New England-set horror novel "Snowblind".
The plan is to create a limited series out of the work which tracks the denizens of a town still reeling from the disappearance of more than a dozen people who were snatched during a sinister snowstorm twelve years prior. Goyer, Golden and Pete Donaldson will executive produce. [Source: Deadline]
CBS' "Under the Dome" returned down for its second season premiere with 9.4 million viewers and a 2.2 rating on Monday night. Despite the 33% decline from last year, it easily won the night and had the highest-rated scripted-program debut of the summer.
HBO's "The Leftovers" pulled in both critically divided reviews and 1 .8 million viewers to its first telecast on Sunday night, a solid if soft debut for a new HBO series launch. It's a bit off the unanimous raves and 2.3 million who tuned in for "True Detective" earlier this year. [Source: EW]
DC Shows
Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are teaming to premiere the pilots of FOX's "Gotham," The CW's "The Flash" and footage from both NBC's "Constantine" and the third season of The CW's "Arrow" at this year's San Diego Comic Con on Saturday July 26th. Cast and crew members from each show will also appear at the panel. [Source: CBM]

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Donnie Cabo's love for all things porn began at the impressionable age of 13. Not allowed to watch rated 'R' movies at home, much less porn, Cabo quickly learned to be resourceful. "I would do my best friend's chores around the house - dishes, trash, etc. - just to watch 15 minutes of porn on the black box," says Cabo.
After years of studying the cocksmanship of such noted vets as Randy West, Peter North, Mark Wallace, and Randy Spears, Cabo was convinced that he could drop a load on a girl's face with the best of them. "By the age of 18, fresh out of high school, my friend was driving me around to different companies where I was trying to get in as a performer," says Cabo. "I think I had, maybe, had sex twice by this time!"
The go-sees led to meetings with AVN Hall-of-Famer Rick Masters, the first to hire Cabo, and World Modeling's Jim South, where he scored a fortuitous, if unglamorous, gig as a party-bus driver for Vince Vouyer.
"I crashed at his house that night while he and Billy Glide banged out some hot chicks upstairs at his condo. I felt like I was living out my dream," says Cabo. "I helped him clean up the mansion the next day and he hired me as his production assistant. He had just started shooting for Odyssey Group Video and Anabolic."
When Vouyer Media launched in 2006, Cabo remained employed as Vouyer's PA. Six months later, he made his directorial debut for the studio with the blow-bang release, Frosty Finish. "I love to shoot porn no matter what the content is," notes Cabo, "as long as the girls are enjoying the sex and aren't being degraded."
Cabo currently shoots the Vouyer Media series: Make Me Creamy, SWAT: Sex with a Teenager, Don't Waste It Taste It, 2 in the Chamber, 7 the Hardway, Milf Blown, and The Whole Enchilada.
When shooting, Cabo falls back on his performer sensibilities to help ensure a good scene. "I always try to make it very comfortable for the talent because I know what it's like to be in front of the camera," explains Cabo. "I always try to keep the girl in a good mood-and hopefully in a horny mood so that she wants to have sex and turns the guy on. I love to see sweat and great fucking and girls getting off in front of my lens. There is nothing that I love more than shooting a great high sexual tension fuck scene."
Well, almost nothing. "If a girl is feeling me on set and wants to party after the shoot, that's cool with me if I'm into her," says Cabo. "Most of the girls that I shoot are pretty damn hot. I would have to say that being a porn director is a good spot to be in."
But, what does Cabo do when a girl won't taste it and insists on wasting it?
"In my personal life, when a girl won't taste it, hopefully I can make her creamy," quips Cabo. "Guys out in the [real] world can overcome this problem by asking the girl if she's willing to swallow. This works best when you're about to cum.
"Look her in the eyes and say, 'Baby, you want me to cum in your mouth and you can swallow it?' If you're fucking them good, they will be in the heat of the moment and say yes. Once in a while, you get a lame one that isn't into tasting it - don't make this one a wifey. Make her creamy. Just make sure she's on birth control or you're fucked!"
Along with his work for Vouyer Media and www.vouyermedia.com, Cabo is shooting content for the amateur site he plans to launch, www.amateurassault.com.
"I love amateur porn and girls that are not stars. I love unplanned, undirected sex. I think it's the hottest and best sex you can get," says Cabo. "Most of the sex I shoot is not directed! I never start a sex scene and say something like 'first we are doing a bj, then doggie, then cowgirl.' Just have fun and enjoy sex. That's what porn is all about."

On Friday, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Dri Archer, their third-round pick from the 2014 NFL Draft. Archer, a running back, receiver and special teams return specialist was signed to a four-year contract for a reported $2.7 million over that time.
Archer (5-foot-8, 173) was a standout at Kent State where he rushed for 2,342 yards and 24 touchdowns. Archer added 99 receptions for 1,194 yards and 12 touchdowns. As a specialist, Archer recorded 51 kickoff returns for 1,436 yards and four touchdowns, making his 40 career touchdowns the second-highest in school history with the Golden Flashes. Archer posted the fastest 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis earlier this year.
Archer has spent time during the Steelers' OTA sessions at running back, wide receiver and returning both punts and kickoffs. His multifaceted talents should instantly boost a poor special teams showing by Pittsburgh over the past two seasons and give quarterback Ben Roethlisberger yet one more offensive weapon to dial up in what is looking like a much quicker offense overall.
Archer's signing comes just one day after Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey inked a five-year contract extension that makes him the highest paid center in the league at $44 million.
The only 2014 NFL Draft pick not yet signed by the Steelers is Stephon Tuitt (Notre Dame), a defensive lineman who is expected to be offered a contract sometime before minicamp begins next week.

Good morning spark friends!
wow its been a pretty long time since I have blogged or really have been active at all on spark people. Its been a pretty rough few weeks. For all of you who don't know I am now nearing the end of my first trimester of pregnancy with baby #3. I found out that I was pregnant at about week 4 and had very high hopes, plans, dream ect to have the most healthy pregnancy in the history of pregnancy and only gain the recomended 20-25lbs or whatever. I felt great and had a ton of energy, drank tons of water, took my vitamin ate vegetables like they were going out of style. mushrooms, spinach, kale, salads, beans, fruits.... My plate was a rainbow! Unlike my previous 2 pregnancies I wasnt nauseous at all! It was so great.
Well fast forward to week 6 when the morning sickness (ie. all day sickness) hits and all I want to do is lay in the bed while I drink gingerale and eat nothing but white gluten free bread and mashed potatoes. Things were very bad and I was very green.
the thought of a fruit or vegetable makes me want to puke... in fact the thought of any food makes me want to puke so I stick to all things that are white and relitively odorless and tasteless.
Week 7-8... I am hungry all day long. I can eat more than white food but vegetables still make me want to gag. I am eating a lot of junk food! ::hangs head:: My stomach looks like I am 5 months pregnant all ready and I wonder if I am having twins.
I get my 8 week ultrasound and there is only one baby. I realize that my stomach looks the way it does because I am very constipated from lack of fruit and vegetables and an excess of junk food.
week 9... eating every 2 hours or I will get sick. I am trying my best to eat fruit. Vegetables are getting a bit less gross but Im loving fruit. Eating prunes and drinking tons of juice to try and keep my digestion normal. My stomach doesnt look 5 months pregnant anymore I just look fat now. Water tastes really weird to me even when its been through the brita so I start making lemonaid and tea with real sugar.... omg.
Week 11 -
well now I am currently in week 11. I feel much much better. I am hardly sick now and have a lot more energy. vegetables are seeming more appealing every day and I am really trying to fix the damage that has been done over the last few weeks. I look swollen and hate looking in a mirror. I dont look pregnant yet I just look fat. I am just bigger everywhere and I find it amazing that there can be so much change in such a short amount of time and really not that much weight gained. when I found out I was pregnant I was 4 weeks pregnant and weighed 162 pounds and currently I weight about 171. So 9 lbs. I know that is way more than I am suppose to gain in the first trimester but I wouldnt think its horrible.
I am really trying to get back to my original mind set of having a really healthy pregnancy. I dont want to gain so much that losing it afterwards seems like an impossible task... although I know I would not be where I started when I started losing weight after lyra was born.... I would like to not get over 200 lbs durring this pregnancy though.
I need to start exercising again and I need to start tracking my food again. Not to lose but just to stay on track and not get too out of control. When you are having chocolate covered bacon cravings you know you really need to watch yourself.
I hope to reconnect with spark people so maybe I can have some sense of accountability to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
I'm disappointed in myself for slipping back into old habits of over eating and eating junk. sigh. Its amazing how easy it is to slip back, especially when you are not in an actively trying to lose mind set. Every day is part of the journey though, even when you know the scale is destined to go up, for a very good reason.
my plans for a healthy day today are to workout for 20 - 30
drink at least 8+ glasses of water
eat lots of fruit and vegetables
& track what I eat
~ Jess
some pictures of the last few weeks
trip to myrtle beach w friends... this is obviously when I conceived. I guess its true about going on vacation and relaxing and letting nature take its course yadayada.
after only 3 months of trying ... yay
so cute... makes you wonder how you could love another when you love the first two so much. :-) ... but I wondered the same thing when I had lyra and found that love is not one size fits all... it just grows and grows.
seeing baby for the first time. ultrasound tech must have gotten better in the last 4 years because I dont remember them being this good with lyra. can see head, body and even a little foot. :-)
so happy. :-)

Looking good sexy mama!
Your pregnancy sounds much like mine...except I haven't gotten sick. I felt sick for a while, but never actually got sick. I have went through a "vegetables are gross" kick as well and I can't wait for that to completely go away. I still can't eat broccoli, one of my faves.
I hope all is still going well. I felt movement the other day...just the little flutter, but it was still exciting. I imagine yours is really starting to move around! Update me when you have time!

Hey Jess... congrats!!! Once you get into the 2nd semester, you should feel good enough where you can exercise some control. And it's summer time too, so you can easily take care of that sweet tooth with some watermelon and cherries.
Enjoy your pregnancy. Worry about all that weight stuff later. You'll be just fine.
Your babies are adorable. I wish I was in that pool your son was in right about now.

Congrats sweetie! I had my first baby earlier in January. I decided to just go ahead and eat what I wanted. I just exercised portion control. Meaning I ate or snacked when hungry and stopped eating when I was no longer hungry. Really all I wanted was sandwiches and chick fil a. I would usually have one sweet tea per day and just water. I don't know how but it miraculously worked for me. I only gained 30 with the last 8 pounds gained in the last few weeks.

Congratulations! Don't beat yourself up over what you've eaten. Morning sickness is awful, but now you're feeling better and that's what counts. You now have a plan and all you have to do is try to stick with it. If you can't, then well. Do your best.

Oh honey don't be disappointed at your self. Pregnancy is not the easiest deal in the world and just to survive it sanely is a big deal. You are here now trying to be healthy throughout the rest of your pregnancy and that is commendable. You have made such an amazing progress in your weight loss so far, and pregnancy and what comes with it will not end your journey. It's the opposite! it's an opportunity to be active and healthy because that helps you feel content, happy and relaxed!
Just take it one step at a time. What helped my sister in her pregnancy is walking, I would go walking with her at night just to get rid of the day's worries and junk!
Eat the fruits and veg you actually like!! and a notebook always nearby will ease u into tracking again!
I wish you all the best hun, and it's great to hear from you! I've disappeared too cuz I had a loss at the beginning of the year, but i've been back for sometime and it does feel amazing to be back and active! It helps us stay sane and keeps the healthy thoughts on our minds!! You never think of how easy it is to slip and mess up, and then its so difficult to get out of that funk, but once u do, it's just incredible!!

After a goal-filled week in the English Premier League, we take a look at the top performers by position.
Here is the Team of the Week.
Goalkeeper: Julian Speroni (Crystal Palace)
Though Papiss Cisse produced the winner at the death, Crystal Palace would have been much worse off without the work between the posts of Julian Speroni. If it weren't for him, Newcastle could have put several more in the net for a larger, more comprehensive victory.
Right back: Geoff Cameron (Stoke City)
Cameron contributed a goal from his defensive position in Stoke City's 4-1 win over Aston Villa. It was the fourth and final goal of the day, but it just put the icing on the cake as far as his performance went.
Center back: Martin Skrtel (Liverpool)
Liverpool's back line hasn't been the sturdiest of the league this season. But when Skrtel is also contributing goals, like the two he had against Cardiff, it's hard to complain too much. Skrtel has more league goals (6) than Fernando Torres (4) does this season.
Center back: Curtis Davies (Hull City)
Hull City took an important three points against visitor West Brom over the weekend, due in large part to Davies and the Hull defense that managed a clean sheet. He was a rock inside and made some key interceptions.
Left back: Liam Rosenior (Hull City)
Like Davies, Rosenior and the Hull defense did everything they were asked to do and more against West Brom. The clean sheet gave Hull a precious three points as they continue to pull into safety from relegation, now at 33 points on the season.
Midfielder: Christian Eriksen (Tottenham Hotspur)
Eriksen pulled all the strings, including some for himself, against Southampton in Spurs' 3-2 comeback victory. Eriksen provided two goals and an assist giving him a direct hand in all three goals scored for the hosts.
Midfielder: Yaya Toure (Manchester City)
When you're able to score a hat-trick, chances are you'll make the team of the week. That's exactly what Toure was able to do. When Fulham was down to 10 men, Toure completely took over and bossed the match.
Wide player: Andre Schurrle (Chelsea)
Chelsea again took steps towards distancing themselves from their title challengers by dismissing Arsenal over the weekend 6-0. The German attacking midfielder contributed a goal and is filling in nicely for the suspended Willian.
Wide player: Marko Arnautovic (Stoke City)
Arnautovic devastated Aston Villa's defense in Stoke's comprehensive 4-1 win over Aston Villa. He provided dangerous opportunities for the forwards and earned the Man of the Match recognition.
Forward: Luis Suarez (Liverpool)
Suarez's goal total continues to rocket up towards the heavens. He added his own hat-trick on Saturday as Liverpool kept pace with Chelsea and Manchester City who also won on the weekend.
Forward: Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
Rooney contributed both United goals in their win over West Ham. He produced the goal of the weekend with an audacious mid-field chip of goalkeeper Adrian.

Anita Lee picked up the lone win for the Salukis versus Drake.
April 26, 2014
Tim McCaughan
NORMAL, Ill. -- The Southern Illinois women's tennis team (17-8, 5-1 MVC) fell to No. 3 Drake 4-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference Team Tennis Championship semifinals Saturday, at Gregory Street Tennis Courts. The loss officially ends the Salukis 2013-14 season.
After Natasha Tomishima and Meagan Monaghan picked up the only win at the No. 1 doubles position, the Bulldogs rallied to take the doubles point with wins at the No. 2 and 3 spots.
Anita Lee was the lone Saluki to pick up a win in singles action. The Las Vegas native tallied her 21st win of the year with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Mariel Ante. Southern could not overcome the bottom of DU's lineup as the Bulldogs (16-5, 4-2 MVC) swept the 4-5-6 spots to clinch the win.
"We had some very close matches, especially in doubles," said head coach Audra Anderson. "We didn't play our best tennis today on any of the courts."
The Salukis will return seven of nine players for the 2014-15 campaign. Seniors Korey Love and Anita Lee close out their SIU career with 32 doubles wins together, which ranks the duo ninth in school history.

Posts Tagged 'co-promotion deals'
The Fair Play Guide: Tips for co-promotion deals
Following on with the Fair Play Guide series, in the previous post, we introduced the suggestion of co-promotion deals and what the MU says constitues a bad deal. This post offers up a few more tips for negotiating and arranging co-promotion gigs.
The Fair Play Guide: Co-promotion deals
There's no reason why all co-promotion deals should be the same, as there are so many variables, including: venue capacity, location, other acts on the bill, and ticket price etc. It is therefore most effective to treat each gig as an individual negotiation. Many artists reach a level whereby they can command their desired fee and conditions without compromise, sometimes through an agent, but most gigging musicians have to negotiate on each and every show.

Looking for healthier meal ideas? Whether you're eating for peak athletic performance, to feel better or to makeover down-home favorites, here are three new cookbooks to try:
The Slim Down South Cookbook, by Carolyn O'Neil, RD (Oxmoor House, $24.95): Southern cooking doesn't have the healthiest reputation. Fried foods, smothered dishes and biscuit toppings are all familiar Southern techniques. But then again, delicious, healthy foods like peaches, leafy greens and blackeyed peas are also part of the repertoire, so there are plenty of ways to eat healthfully with a Southern accent. Author Carolyn O'Neil, a James Beard award-winning registered dietitian, has come up with healthy eating strategies and 120 recipes that include dishes such as Pecan Pancakes, Skillet Fried Chicken, Tipsy Red and Yellow Watermelon Salad. There are color photos to accompany each recipe, which also includes nutritional information .
The Virgin Diet Cookbook, by JJ Virgin, CNS, CHFS (Grand Central Life & Style ($28): If you're a follower of JJ Virgin's Virgin Diet, you'll appreciate this follow-up cookbook, which features 150 recipes that follow JJ's rules – no gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, corn, peanuts, sugar or artificial sweeteners. There's a basic introduction to the eating plan at the beginning of the book and an explanation of why those seven foods are off limits and can free you of food intolerances. If you're unsure you'll be able to live without the seven foods, there's a section on swaps. Miss pasta? Try quinoa pasta. Need some milk? Give almond milk a shot. Craving sweet? Try xylitol. And you won't miss those foods with recipes such as Stir-Fried Shrimp With Ginger, Black Beans & Cashews, Creamy Sweet Potato Soup, Shredded Brussels Sprouts With Bacon, Coconut-Allspice Steel-Cut Oats With Protein Boost, and Swedish-Style Pecan Pancakes With Orange and Strawberries. The book also includes a variety of three-week meal plans for weight loss, vegans, diabetes, paleo, or budget friendly meals.
The Athlete's Cookbook, by Corey Irwin and Brett Stewart (Ulysses Press, $15.95): Food can be a potent fuel to an athlete – would you fuel up a sports car with inferior gasoline? It's the same when you fuel up for athletic training and conditioning. Corey Irwin, a chef and recipe developer, and Brett Stewart, a trainer and coach, are both endurance athletes and they have come up with more than 100 recipes for getting lean, building muscle or increasing endurance. And lest you think that the dishes are typical jock meals of steamed chicken breast and broccoli, think again. How about Chocolate-Strawberry Waffles, Buffalo Chili, Pineapple-Ginger Stir-Fry, Olive Hummus, and No-Bake Chocolate-Cherry-Almond Energy Bites? In addition to the recipes, there's a meal-timing schedule, a list of the top 10 best foods for athletes, and meal plans based on your athletic goals, whether it be fat loss, endurance or strength.

Well here we go again with twelve new homebakers taking part in a 'bake off', which will test them to the fullest while they show off their baking skills as the battle to be crowned the next Great British Bake Off's Best Amateur Baker.
Although this year the show has been moved from BBC Two to BBC One, we shouldn't be worried about the program being tampered with. The creator and executive producer Anna Beattie said: "The BBC's logic is that it's a very big show which deserves to be on BBC One rather that BBC Two, but the show does not need to change to be there. They actively want the same show."
Like normal the duo Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins will be helping the contestants with their wit and support. The pair first came together at the Cambridge Footlights and have successfully stayed together as a double act for over 20 years. They first shot to stardom on the French and Saunders show, but the Great British Bake Off is their highest-profile gig yet.
Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood are back as the "sweet and savoury" judges. Paul has said that he hopes the new series will feature more soggy bottoms and stiff bakes than ever. And innuendoes, clearly. The BBC recently expanded Hollywood's contract to include a new motoring show - he's a petrolhead who collects Aston Martin cars, like a self-raising Jeremy Clarkson. This year, the Bake-Off has its tent pitched in the hidden gardens of Welford Park in Berkshire – Which is famous for its beautiful display of snowdrops each February.
This year the show will be a 10-part series with 12 contestants instead of 13 like last year. The show is set to be another fun packed baking show. So who is going to win, will it be the oldest contestant Diana Beard from Alkington in Shropshire who is 69 or will it be the youngest contestant Martha Collinson, an A-level student from Sunningdale in Berkshire, who is a mere 17.

College Hockey:Fallon Sets UVM Season Shutout Record
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Catamount Country has seen some standout goaltenders in the past, from two-time All-Americans Tim Thomas and Dave Reece to stingy netminders such as Steve Eckerson and Christian Soucy.
But freshman Joe Fallon upstaged them Friday, blanking the Yale Bulldogs at Ingalls Rink to set a new single-season Vermont record for shutouts with his fifth of the year.
Fallon's feat broke a four-way tie at four, which he shared with Thomas, Eckerson, and Reece, as the Catamounts (17-11-3) defeated Yale (4-20-2) by a 5-0 score at a sold-out Ingalls Rink.
"It's tremendous for him," said Vermont head coach Kevin Sneddon. "There's been a lot of great goaltenders in Vermont history, and for him to hold a record as a freshman is outstanding. But I think he'd be the first to tell you that shutouts are a reflection of team defense."
Indeed, Vermont's defense was stingy Friday evening, and the Catamounts' aggressive forechecking and focused special-teams play, combined with Yale's lack of production throughout the game, resulted in the Bulldogs getting only 11 shots on goal.
It can be hard for a goaltender to remain focused when challenged only sporadically during a game, but Fallon stayed on top of his game throughout, feeding off a pair of important stops in the first period that enabled Vermont to go into the locker room with the 2-0 lead.
"When the puck is in our zone I just try to stay relaxed," the rookie said.
The Catamount offense, for its part, was equally dominant, with Chris Myers scoring twice and Andy Corran (1-1-2) and Matt Syroczynski (0-2-2) also earning multiple points. In addition, junior Jeff Corey's second-period goal was his 16th of the season and marked the sixth consecutive game in which he has netted the puck.
Both teams had oh-fers when it came to the power play, with Vermont unable to score in its seven attempts and the Bulldogs blanked on four tries. The Catamounts' penalty kill was strong, stifling the Elis and precluding them from getting their power-play unit into any sort of flow on most of their opportunities.
"We worked all week long on our special teams," Corey said. "On our penalty kill we were just trying to do the little things right, and use our speed and confuse them. It's coming to the end of the season and we know we have got to do the little things right if we want to be a successful playoff team."
One of Yale's lone bright spots in a game that was otherwise a picture of disorganization and frustration was its penalty kill, which survived a five-on-three that was 1:31 long and killed off five other penalties. It was on the man down that the Bulldogs got one of their breakaways, an attempt by Christian Jensen with 11:10 remaining in the first that was stopped by Fallon.
Another major Yale chance in the first period came with 8:38 to play, when Shawn Mole's huge wrister from the point clanged squarely off the post to the chagrin of the home crowd.
At that point, the score was already 1-0 after Slavomir Tomko, assisted by Syroczynski and Corran, scored early in the first. Vermont's second goal by Corran came with less than a minute to play in the first, giving the Catamounts the 2-0 lead going into the locker room.
"The difference was that we were able to capitalize on our chances, while they really weren't, in the first period," Sneddon said. "So we were up 2-0 instead of tied 2-2 after the first."
Myers scored his first of two goals off an assist by Jaime Sifers 6:41 into the third, and Corey added his score five minutes later before Yale goaltender Matt Modelski, who finished with 15 saves, was replaced by Josh Gartner.
Gartner gave up one goal, an unassisted score by Myers after he stole the puck and skated past a tripped-up Rob Page for the breakaway. The junior goaltender stopped 20 shots in 28 minutes.
On the other end, Fallon only needed to stop 11 of 11 to earn the record-setting shutout.
"He's unbelievable," Corey said. "He's always there for us whenever we make mistakes. It's easy to play good hockey when he's back there."
For Vermont, which came into the game already guaranteed a winning season and home ice in the playoffs, the win was made sweeter by the fact that travel partner Dartmouth was upended by Princeton on the road. The game put the Cats in sole possession of the final first-round bye for the ECACHL playoffs with three games remaining.
"We just have to come out and play good defensive hockey the same way we've been doing," Fallon said of the team's remaining three games. "We've been consistent lately, and we feel pretty good."
The Catamounts travel to Princeton at 7 p.m. Saturday while Yale, in search of its elusive fifth win, takes on Dartmouth at 7:30.

Patrick of Patrick.net stops by to discuss the housing market. Much of what we discuss has been talked about before concerning housing but in this discussion we have the benefit of a long period of hindsight. We trace the housing crash from its origins through today and then Patrick offers his version of what the future holds for us. Patricks forecasting of the future is insightful because he incorporates the failures of other nations that have faced the same dilemma as the US (mainly Japan) and we are just re-tracing their steps.

Whether you have just a few books or your collection rivals the Library of Congress organizing and taking care of your books is important so they are easy to find and easy to use. First take inventory of your collection. Only keep your favorites or books you have yet to read. If you don't enjoy reading or do not make time to read then maybe you can reduce your collection significantly. Space in most homes is limited so only make room for the items you love and need. Arrange books in logical groupings that work for you and your family - color, theme, title, audience, etc. Keep children's books at their eye level and they will be more likely to read.
Remove any bookmarks, paperclips, etc from the inside of the books before placing the books on a shelf or a box/bin for storage. Storing books with paper clips, for example, can damage the pages and the integrity of the spine. Neatly write or use a label maker to label the inside covers of each book with your name. This way if you loan the book to a friend you will be more likely to get it back. Dust books regularly with a dry, clean cloth – never use a wet or damp rag to clean books.
To recycle books that are in poor condition remove the hardcover spines first. There are many resources to sell or donate used books. Here are a few:
Donation Options:
- Books For Soldiers http://www.booksforsoldiers.com/
- International Book Project http://www.intlbookproject.org/
- Local school district/daycare/etc.
- Local Library – Some accept books no questions asked and other libraries have a strict donation policy. See below for a list of links to Baltimore area libraries and their donation policies:
- Anne Arundel County Library
- Baltimore County Library
- Carroll County Library – none being accepted at Westminster Branch due to renovations; donations must be in less than one box, only good condition, no encyclopedias or text books; limited information online regarding donations
- Harford County Library
- Howard County Library – accepts all books; bring donations in a brown paper bag if possible; limited information online regarding donations
Resell Options:
- Used bookstore – this is a great option if you don't want to resell your books online
- Amazon
- Half.com by eBay
- Craigslist - Baltimore
If you don't love the book, don't plan to read or the book is in bad shape then let it go. Recycle it, donate it or sell it. Keep the books you love and make time to enjoy them!
What's your favorite book to curl up with on a Baltimore weekend?

Acetone overview Transcript
The largest consumer of acetone is methyl methacrylate (MMA) and acrylic acid, nearly all MMA is polymerised to make homopolymers and copolymers.
The second largest use for acetone is the manufacture of bis-phenol A who's growth is driven by the polycarbonate sector. Other significant outlets for acetone include solvents use.
Around 90% of acetone production is via the cumene route to make phenol, where 0.62 tonnes of acetone is produced with each tonne of phenol. As phenol demand is growing faster than acetone demand there is a global surplus of acetone in the market.
Acetone is a clear water-white volatile liquid, which is highly flammable. Europe has the capacity to produce approximately 2.5 million tonnes per year of acetone, while global production is set close to 7 million tonnes per year. Global growth is around 5% per year with Asia being the fastest growing region. In Europe, growth is set at around 0-2% per year.

Regional overview
Regional overview
Updated to Q1 2016
Decreased phenol/acetone plant capacity utilisation across the region, along with a rally in crude oil futures and upstream prices, reversed the CFR China acetone price downtrend and caused it to rally in the first quarter.
Spot prices sank below $400/tonne CFR China in January, dragged down by abundant regional supply.
However, tighter regional supply – stemming from the commencement of a heavy phenol/acetone plant turnaround season in February and the continued absence of deep-sea imports, spurred a rally in spot trades.
Taiwan's Chang Chun Plastics and Mitsui Phenols Singapore in late February took their plants off line for routine maintenance. South Korean producer Kumho P&B shut down its plant in early March for a turnaround while a further delay to the start-up of Thai producer PTT Phenol's new plant constrained acetone supply across the region.
The firming trend in upstream propylene prices, the post-Lunar New Year recovery in downstream demand in China, along with domestic Chinese phenol/acetone makers' successive price hike measures, combined to lift spot trades above $500/tonne CFR China by mid-March. Sturdy Indian demand for spot material during this time contributed to the CFR China acetone price gain.
Price reporting
Price reporting
The ICIS Asia weekly acetone report provides key price quotes for China and southeast Asia (SE Asia).
We provide information on deals, bids and offers, which form the basis of the published assessments and bring other factors behind the price movements.
Feedstock benzene and propylene are tracked and an overview of key downstream markets is provided.
Understanding the key cost & freight (CFR) China spot market is complex because of a variety of anti-dumping duties leveraged by the Chinese government.
To provide greater clarity for subscribers, ICIS provides a normalised CFR China quote based on 0% anti-government duty and a 5.5% import duty.
This has been well received by our subscribers as a valuable alternative to the existing benchmark CFR China quote.
We communicate with a wide section of market participants, producers and traders and continue to deliver accurate assessments each week.

In the context of fluid mechanics, where a given vector field is interpreted as a model of a fluid, with the vector value at a given point being the velocity of the fluid particle at that point, curl and divergence are used to express notions of rotation and expansion/compression of a fluid, respectively.
So, for example, if the divergence is positive at a point, it means that, overall, that the tendency is for fluid to move away from that point (expansion); if the divergence is negative, then the fluid is tending to move towards that point (compression).
Curl is a little more involved than this. The direction of the curl vector suggests the axis around which a particle immersed in the fluid at a fixed point (but otherwise allowed to rotate freely) would rotate in an anticlockwise direction, provided its rotation is only due to the aggregate effect of contact with the fluid immediately around it; the maginitude (modulus) of the curl vector is then the speed at which it rotates.

Who doesn't love simple pasta with freshly homemade sauce? I do and I love to enjoy it repeatedly. I call it my kind of comfort food. Marinara sauce is my personal favorite for these comfort foods. Reason? I've got plenty to pass. It's simple, nothing fancy, versatile usage, easy to make, needs regular ingredients which are always available in your pantry and last but most importantly you can make it gallons and store it for a long time say, for the entire summer. Cool isn't it? The only problem I had faced so far with this sauce is its preparation is a bit time consuming. I need to simmer it for 30-60 mins (talking about bulk; okay?) but recently I'm using a quick hassle free version of it which not only produces a large amount (to fill up your refrigerator) but also will be ready in 20 mins.
Here you go for the recipe of D.I.Y. Marinara Sauce in 20 mins (Vegan).
Preparation Time: 05 mins
Cooking Time: 15 mins
Resting Time: 00 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Yield: 4-5 cups
Fresh ripe tomatoes: 500g Or, canned chopped tomatoes (See Tips)
Onion: 1/3 cup, diced
Fresh garlic: 6-10 cloves (increase/decrease the amount according to your taste)
Fresh parsley: 3-4 tbsp, chopped
Extra virgin olive oil: 3-4 tbsp (if desired)
Fresh/dried oregano: ½ tsp
Black pepper powder: 1 tsp
Salt: 1 tsp (or to taste)
Food processor
A large bowl
A large heavy bottomed saucepan
Dry & clean glass bottle (or glass bowls with lid) to store
Wash and clean tomatoes, onion and garlic. Roughly chop the onion and garlic; then throw them together in the chopper/food processor and pulse few secs for finely chopped output. (See Tips)
Blanch the tomatoes in hot water for 1-2 mins (don't over-do the blanching). Then remove and immediately hold them under running water for few secs. This will help to keep the fresh red color unchanged. Remove the tomatoes from water and peel the skin off. (See Tips)
Take the peeled tomatoes in a large mixing bowl and squeeze them with your hands. Yes it's messy and fun too. Be sure to keep your apron on before you take the tomatoes in hands unless you like to be colored in bloody tomato red! Continue the process until all tomatoes seem to be smashed. If you prefer your Marinara Sauce chunky, leave a bit chunky tomato pieces.
Set the saucepan on medium high flame and heat oil in it. Add finely chopped garlic and onion and fry until onion becomes translucent. (See Tips)
Add previously prepared squeezed tomatoes into the pan along with the liquid. (See Tips)
Allow the tomatoes to thicken a bit by reducing the liquid on medium-high flame. Add the herbs (fresh/dried) and continue cooking for about 8-10 mins. (See Tips)
Simmer the sauce for another 2-3 mins or until sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Sprinkle pepper and salt and adjust the seasoning. Remove the pan from flame, discard the herbs filled pouch (in case using fresh herbs).
Voila! Your D.I.Y. Marinara Sauce is actually ready in 20 mins. Now use it with your spaghetti or any kind of pasta. Or spread over bread/ tortilla/pizza as topper or any other way you like to have your favorite sauce.
Store the D.I.Y. Marinara Sauce in a clean and dry airtight glass jar. Any glass bowls with lid will also work fine. This sauce can be stored in refrigerator up to 10-14 days. Or freeze the sauce to store for a longer period.
Use chopped carrot, celery, olive for a veggie enriched variation. Fry the veggies with onion until soft and follow the base recipe for the rest.
Fry bacon first until crunchy; remove and keep separately and follow rest of the recipe with the same oil. Add the bacon later with the sauce.
Fry mushroom with the garlic and rest is as stated in base recipe.
Add red/white wine to the simmering sauce and make a soup of it with loads of veggies/meat (as referred above).
1. If using canned tomatoes, make sure to check the label with 'no salt, no herbs, no added flavors'.
2. If you have enough patience to finely chop the onion and garlic separately, do so. But make sure they are finely chopped, without leaving any large chunks.
3. If you are using canned tomatoes, you certainly don't need to look at this step.
4. If you chopped onion & garlic separately, add garlic first; when soft & fragrant, add onion and fry until translucent.
5. Again, if you are using the canned tomatoes, discard the liquid and add the diced/squeezed tomatoes only.
6. If you are using fresh herbs, make a pouch of cotton cloth, put the herbs in it and tie it with a kitchen thread.

David Trott, 53, owns and runs a business that you won't want to deal with.
Trott's business, Farmington Hills-based Trott & Trott, which he inherited from his father, Robert Trott, is the biggest foreclosure law firm in the state and one of the largest in the U.S.
When the Great Recession began in 2008, it was a perfect storm for millions of American homeowners. Many had been the victims of predatory lending by banks and mortgage lenders, saddled with subprime mortgages designed to become unaffordable. With unemployment skyrocketing, others lost their jobs and became unable to meet their mortgage payments. Selling houses in such situations wasn't viable, because the housing bubble burst and prices plummeted, leaving millions of people underwater in their mortgages, owing more for their houses than they were now worth.
Representing banks and mortgage lenders, Trott & Trott cashed in big time on other people's misery, handling some 80,000 foreclosures in 2009 alone, thereby earning Trott the nickname of "the Foreclosure King." Under the circumstances, foreclosure should have been the last resort, with people allowed to keep their homes through loan modification under the federal Home Affordable Mortgage Program (HAMP).
But for Trott and his predatory clients, foreclosure was the first resort, with Trott admitting that his firm makes more money from a foreclosure than a loan modification. Taking no prisoners, loan modifications under HAMP were frequently rejected by Trott's clients on the basis of lies and meaningless technicalities, violating federal law, with Trott and his firm doing nothing to see that their clients complied with the law.
In Detroit, these foreclosures produced thousands of vacant houses, adding to an already serious blight problem. When homeowners were able to get loan modifications, it only came after an expensive, time-consuming, stressful and often aggravating process.
But Trott didn't handle any of these foreclosure cases personally, delegating the dirty work to the 74 lawyers in his firm. In corporate CEO fashion, he takes a private elevator to his executive offices and has little contact with his employees.
Practicing a form of vertical integration, Trott bought into or started companies to handle every stage of the foreclosure process. These companies have included the Attorneys, Greco, Seaver, Talon, Bankers and Warranty title companies for title searches; NDeX for foreclosure paperwork processing; NetDirector LLC for foreclosure file processing software services; Detroit Legal News for publishing foreclosure notices; Gillis Trott Appraisal for property appraisals; Trott Recovery Services for debt collection; and the Coldwell Banker Weir Manuel real estate firm for selling foreclosed houses.
While Trott has played a major role in thousands of people losing their homes, he and his family live in a $2.5 million Birmingham mansion. For getaways up north, there's a $2 million vacation home in Harbor Springs.
Ever the plutocrat, Trott is a right wing Republican who has been a major behind the scenes player in the Oakland County party for years. Since 1999, he has donated more than $700,000 to Republican candidates. His only previous run for office was a losing race for Oakland Community College trustee in 2012.
Now Trott wants to buy himself a seat in Congress, challenging 11th District Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R-Milford) in the Aug. 5 primary. Bentivolio, a Tea Party extremist, is an accidental congressman, having been elected in 2012 after former Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Livonia) was kicked off the primary ballot due to fraudulent nominating petition signatures. The Oakland County Republican Party establishment has no use for Bentivolio and enthusiastically supports Trott.
Trott has more than enough money to spare for the campaign. According to financial disclosure forms submitted when he filed for the seat in November, his net worth ranges from $60.2 to $204.9 million. As of March 31, Trott has raised $1,686,420, with almost half, $808,402, coming out of his own pocket. None of the other candidates for the seat are self-financed. Bentivolio has raised $448,441.
While the 11th District was designed to elect a Republican, it is by no means a safe seat for the party. Bentivolio won in 2012 by an unimpressive 51 to 44 percent margin over the Democratic candidate, Syed Taj, a physician and Canton Township trustee.
Given the weaknesses of both Bentivolio and Trott, the Michigan Democratic Party has targeted the 11th District, with four candidates in the primary. Anil Kumar, a Bloomfield Township physician, has raised $626,624, more than Bentivolio. Bobby McKenzie, a former State Department counterterrorism expert from Canton Township, has raised $239,861. Nancy Skinner, a radio and television commentator from Birmingham, gave former Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-Bloomfield Hills) a close race in 2006. A late entry, she hasn't filed a financial report. The fourth candidate, Livonia resident Bill Roberts, is a follower of conspiracy theorist Lyndon LaRouche who lost the 2012 primary to Taj.
Will Trott even get past the Republican primary? Could the seat change partisan hands on Nov. 4? Stay tuned.

"There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every 12 people on the planet. The only question is: how do we arm the other 11?" said the gun-running protagonist in the 2005 Nicolas Cage film Lord of War.

State vs. Federal: The Nullification Movement
"Are we going to be free men or are we going to be slaves to the federal government of the United States?" retired state trooper and current State Delegate Charles W. Carrico, Sr. asked of the 1,000-strong rally gathered on the steps of the Virginia state capitol in January. While the like-minded crowd reacted with enthusiasm, such a rhetorical question might strike the average American as overdramatic. Are U.S. citizens really becoming "slaves to the federal government"?

The FCC and "Fleeting Expletives"
The Supreme Court on April 28 upheld the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) ban on "fleeting expletives." The FCC has had a long-standing ban on the usage of "obscene, indecent, or profane" language on network television, but the ban had been applied to usage of a "sustained or repeated" manner. In March of 2004, that policy changed after a series of events caused a public outcry. Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" at that year's Superbowl combined with uses of adult language at award shows led to the FCC crackdown on indeceny.
Man Sentenced to Seven Years in Prison for Lawfully-owned Guns
The Philadelphia Daily News reported on a disturbing story that should horrify every gun owner in this nation.

Erasing Racism in America
For far too long, those who oppose big-government solutions to racism have been slandered as racists. (Sadly, such attacks are similar to the claims that people who oppose civil-rights-violating national security measures like the Patriot Act are terrorist sympathizers.) Such slander, while entirely inaccurate, is effective in silencing any dissent on the subject of race and government.

"What we talked about with the White House is using it as catalyst not just for the development of a national strategy but for mobilising people all over the country at every level," said Bob Doppelt, executive director of the Resource Innovation Group, the Oregon-based thinktank that has been pushing for the high-level meeting. He said it would not be a one-off event.
"What I think has excited the White House is that it does put the president in a leadership role, but it is not aimed at what Congress can do, or what he can do per se, so much as it is aimed at apprising the American public about how they can act."
With a complaint media, Obama can do what he pleases. If Congress doesn't agree to anything that comes out of this summit, Obama will use the EPA. Without any checks and balances, Obama is a virtual dictator.
