The loss drops
The Wildcat offense tallied seven hits to
Junior pitcher Taryne Mowatt (12-6) held OU without a hit or a run until the fourth inning, in which she gave up a solo home run. However, in a gutty performance, the Wildcat ace gave up six runs ?- two of which were unearned ?- on five hits with seven strikeouts in five innings of work. Freshman pitcher Sarah Akamine pitched two innings of shutout relief.
For the second consecutive game, Mowatt held the opposing team hitless through the first three innings. With her team down 2-0,
In the top half of the fifth, the Sooners turned two Wildcat errors, a walk and four hits into five runs and a 5-2 lead. Jamie Fox led off the inning by reaching on an error and Amber Spaulding walked to give OU a pair of runners on with no outs. Lindsey Vandever then singled to score Fox to tie the game 2-2. A Traci Dickenson two-run homer gave the Sooners their first lead of the game. After leadoff hitter walked Norrelle Dickson, Savannah Long scored Dickson all the way from first with an RBI double. After a wild pitch that moved Long to third, Amber Flores hit a single to short which
The top of Arizona's order was able to load the bases with a rally of its own in UA's half of the fifth, but did not come away with any runs. Lowe ignited the rally with an infield single and

Most of us pulled a senior prank or two in high school. As I remember, my senior class had a thing for water balloons filled with somewhat nefarious substances. But according to the New York Post on May 1, over 60 students at Teaneck High School brought the term "senior prank" to a whole new level.
The 62 seniors literally trashed their school. The fun-loving seniors broke in and engaged in such activities as greasing doorknobs, leaving balloons everywhere, flipping over desks and peeing in the hallways.
The school's alarm went off around 2:30 a.m. When police arrived, they found some students still in the building. Some were hiding; some attempted to run. The police made 62 arrests.
Of those 62 students, 38 were juveniles and released to their parents. The other 24 students were 18 years or older. They will all have to appear in court facing charges of burglary and criminal mischief. There's a good chance that the juveniles will be tried as adults.
Teaneck School District rushed a cleanup crew in so the school could open as scheduled on Thursday, May 1. One senior opined that it wasn't all that bad as it only took the team two hours to clean it up.
"It appears this was a senior prank, but this was a little off the wall," Teaneck Police Sgt. John Garland said. "I've never seen anything like it in my 19 years [on the job] — Magic Marker graffiti all over the place, Vaseline smeared on doorknobs, urinating in the hallways, garbage littered throughout the hallways, desks and chairs flipped over."
One might wonder what possessed them to do this. Did it start off as just fun with balloons and a little door grease and then get out of hand? And whatever they eventually did, they still broke in which is a criminal offense. Did they have an excuse or a reason? Yes. "It's just a senior class prank."
Whether it was crazy or fun for the students is a mystery right now. Police report that some were laughing as they were led away in handcuffs. The sad fact remains, though, that 62 high school seniors will now have criminal records that will impact their future at a time when they should be celebrating.
Teaneck school officials are fully cooperating with police in order to get the situation sorted out. The high school opened on time after the night of mayhem.

Fire the Sun employees
Now that we've got control of Sun, it's time to fire the remainder of their workforce. Oracle people are high performance machines, disciplined, focused, we know how to deliver when called upon. Sun people are uniformly lazy, sloppy, produce marginal products and rarely deliver the goods. So hey Larry and Sara, it's time to take the trash out, and get Oracle people in charge!

This book is about mankind's favorite sport-fishing. The state of Maryland has good trout fishing within easy reach of Washington D.C. Several trout streams are profiled along with the three major types of trout-brook, brown and rainbow trout. Though Maryland is better known for its saltwater fishing in the Chesapeake bay for striped bass, trout have been extensively stocked in freshwater streams and lakes throughout the state. There are streams which have wild trout, both native and non native species. Hope that you enjoy the sport of trout fishing as much as I do. Tight lines,

Dr. Bill Dorfman '83 knows what it takes to achieve high levels of professional and personal success, and is on a mission to encourage young adults to fulfill their own dreams.
Dorfman achieved success early in his dental career when he co-founded Discus Dental, which became one of the world's leading dental companies and was acquired by Philips Sonicare in 2010. Dorfman practices all aspects of dentistry, specializing in cosmetic dentistry at his practice at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry near Beverly Hills, Calif. He is known as the "dentist to the stars" and has made numerous television appearances on reality and talk shows; and also penned a New York Times bestselling book, "Billion Dollar Smile."
But Dorfman's true passion is giving back to others and helping young people on their way to brighter futures. As a Pacific Dugoni alumnus, he regularly visits the school to speak to students and offer up his advice for finding professional and personal success after dental school. He also is a very active philanthropic contributor to the school, which named its existing William Dorfman-Discus Dental Auditorium in his honor. Dorfman also recently made a significant gift to support the construction of the new first-floor auditorium on the school's new campus in San Francisco.
In 2008, Dorfman co-founded the LEAP Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on helping young people from around the world find professional and personal success by teaching them real-life skills – such as professionalism, self-motivation and communication techniques – that aren't traditionally taught in educational environments. LEAP, which stands for "Leadership, Excellence and Accelerating Potential," has continued to grow each year in both size and reputation. In 2012, more than 450 students representing 10 different countries attended the LEAP Program.
The LEAP Program is designed for students ages 15-24, including high school students, college students and recent graduates, who are invited to an annual week-long LEAP Leadership Program at UCLA. The curriculum is based upon the experience of those who themselves have accomplished great success – both professionally and personally. Activities show the value of goal-setting, effective communication, and the invaluable power of mentorship – all of which are essential in helping today's youth succeed, yet often omitted from most formal educational systems.
"Our future rests in the hands of our youth," said Dorfman. "It is important to gather the great leaders of today to foster their growth and help create great leaders for tomorrow."
The next LEAP Program will take place from July 28 to August 3, when the LEAP Foundation welcomes its sixth class of scholars. Applications from high school and young adult students interested in enrolling in the leadership program are now being accepted. More details are available at www.leapfoundation.com.

Elsinore. The platform before the Castle.
(Hamlet, Horatio, Marcellus, Ghost)
Enter Hamlet, Horatio, and Marcellus.
The air bites shrowdly, it is very cold.
It is a nipping and an eager air.
What hour now?
I think it lacks of twelf.
No, it is strook.
Indeed? I heard it not. It then draws near the season
Wherein the spirit held his wont to walk.
A flourish of trumpets, and two pieces goes off within.
What does this mean, my lord?
The King doth wake tonight and takes his rouse,
Keeps wassail, and the swagg'ring up-spring reels;
And as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down,
The kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out
The triumph of his pledge.
Is it a custom?
Ay, marry, is't,
But to my mind, though I am native here
And to the manner born, it is a custom
More honor'd in the breach than the observance.
This heavy-headed revel east and west
Makes us traduc'd and tax'd of other nations.
They clip us drunkards, and with swinish phrase
Soil our addition, and indeed it takes
From our achievements, though perform'd at height,
The pith and marrow of our attribute.
So, oft it chances in particular men,
That for some vicious mole of nature in them,
As in their birth, wherein they are not guilty
(Since nature cannot choose his origin),
By their o'ergrowth of some complexion
Oft breaking down the pales and forts of reason,
Or by some habit, that too much o'er-leavens
The form of plausive manners—that these men,
Carrying, I say, the stamp of one defect,
Being nature's livery, or fortune's star,
His virtues else, be they as pure as grace,
As infinite as man may undergo,
Shall in the general censure take corruption
From that particular fault: the dram of ev'l
Doth all the noble substance of a doubt
To his own scandal.
Enter Ghost.
Look, my lord, it comes!
Angels and ministers of grace defend us!
Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damn'd,
Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell,
Be thy intents wicked, or charitable,
Thou com'st in such a questionable shape
That I will speak to thee. I'll call thee Hamlet,
King, father, royal Dane. O, answer me!
Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell
Why thy canoniz'd bones, hearsed in death,
Have burst their cerements; why the sepulchre,
Wherein we saw thee quietly inurn'd,
Hath op'd his ponderous and marble jaws
To cast thee up again. What may this mean,
That thou, dead corse, again in complete steel
Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon,
Making night hideous, and we fools of nature
So horridly to shake our disposition
With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
Say why is this? wherefore? what should we do?
Ghost beckons Hamlet.
It beckons you to go away with it,
As if it some impartment did desire
To you alone.
Look with what courteous action
It waves you to a more removed ground,
But do not go with it.
No, by no means.
It will not speak, then I will follow it.
Do not, my lord.
Why, what should be the fear?
I do not set my life at a pin's fee,
And for my soul, what can it do to that,
Being a thing immortal as itself?
It waves me forth again, I'll follow it.
What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
That beetles o'er his base into the sea,
And there assume some other horrible form
Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
And draw you into madness? Think of it.
The very place puts toys of desperation,
Without more motive, into every brain
That looks so many fadoms to the sea
And hears it roar beneath.
It waves me still.—
Go on, I'll follow thee.
You shall not go, my lord.
Hold off your hands.
Be rul'd, you shall not go.
My fate cries out,
And makes each petty artere in this body
As hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve.
Still am I call'd. Unhand me, gentlemen.
By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me!
I say away!—Go on, I'll follow thee.
Exeunt Ghost and Hamlet.
He waxes desperate with imagination.
Let's follow. 'Tis not fit thus to obey him.
Have after. To what issue will this come?
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
Heaven will direct it.
Nay, let's follow him.

The American Academy of Neurology said doctors have an ethical obligation to educate and protect athletes from sports concussions.
That's the basis of a new position paper from the AAN, which is the largest professional association of neurologists.
The AAN statement calls for doctors to make protecting the future mental and physical health of athletes a top priority. "The root of this is going to be education for the primary care doc, for the doc that only sees concussions every once in a while, so they're up to speed on everything that they need to do to make sure the athlete's brain is protected, not just during the injury, but for the future as well," said Dr. Rick Figler.
The AAN statement supports an increased use of baseline cognitive testing, recommends additional concussion training in neurology residency programs, and suggests developing a national concussion registry with mandatory reporting. It also calls for all physicians to educate athletes, parents, and their families about the dangers of concussions in all relevant sports.
Researchers say the goal is to identify the various risk-factors related to concussion and the number of head injuries that could cause irreversible brain damage. "These young developing brains that may have a little bit more to lose because they're being injured at a key developmental stage, that we protect them from further injury by not sending them back too soon," said Figler.
The complete statement from "The American Academy of Neurology" is available online in the journal "Neurology."

A Tribute to David Goldblatt, ICP's 2013 Lifetime Achievement Honoree
Imagine photographs by Robert Frank and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Wait a moment, then imagine some more by Diane Arbus and others by Sebastian Salgado. Good. Being the sort of person who reads this blog, you probably just conjured a dozen or more vividly remembered images in your mind's eye.
Now imagine a photograph by David Goldblatt. Thought so. Unless you're a fellow South African or one of his fans, you probably drew a blank. He's one of the world's most honored living photographers, a man who is greatly respected and, yet, is little known. It's a paradox.
On Wednesday evening, when the International Center of Photography [ICP] confers on him its Cornell Capa Lifetime Achievement Award, Goldblatt will collect yet another prestigious award. He'll add this to his resume, right above the 2006 Hasselblad Award, 2009 Henri Cartier-Bresson Award, and the 2010 Lucie Award for Lifetime Achievement.
As prestigious as those honors surely are, they're little more than the icing on a magnificent cake. Over a 50-year career, Goldblatt has been the subject of exhibitions at major museums in Europe, Africa, and North America, including solo shows at the Museum of Modern Art, in 1998, and the Jewish Museum, in 2010. In addition, leading publishers of photography have produced a dozen books devoted to his work.
It's an impressive list of accomplishments by any measure. So, why isn't Goldblatt's photography as well known as his name? And what's his photography all about anyway? Addressing the second question will point us toward a solution answer to the first.
People who try to explain Goldblatt to American audiences often compare him to Walker Evans. Up to a point, it makes a certain amount of sense. Just as the true subjects of Evans's greatest and most lasting work were Americans and the society they created, Goldblatt's subject has been South Africa. His goal, as he once put it, was to make photographs "that were… penetrating of that time and the circumstances in which we lived…."
The defining feature of that time was apartheid, the notorious system of racial oppression that shaped the nation during the second half of the twentieth century. It was the desire to understand apartheid that made him a photographer. "If we had been a democracy from the beginning," he once wrote, "I'm not sure that I would have become a photographer. …Apartheid sharpened my wish and need to probe with a camera."
The quality of their vision — the uncanny ability to see below the surface of things and find deeper meanings — also links Goldblatt and Evans. Goldblatt, like Evans, is drawn, in his own words, "to the quiet and commonplace where nothing 'happened' and yet all was contained and immanent." He's always been at least as interested in apartheid's vernacular architecture as he is in its monuments. The people in his photographs are more likely to be whites who were complicit with apartheid than those who designed and perpetuated it. He made many more photos of blacks who endured its horrors than those who fought against them.
Finally, Goldblatt and Evans also share a photographic sensibility. In both there is a sense of distance, of an analytical step backward, that, in Goldblatt's case, never threatens to become disinterest. There is also, in both photographers, an instinct to make understated images that refuse to draw attention to themselves, images that are much more about the subject than about the man behind the lens.
The comparison between Goldblatt and Evans can take us only so far, however. Goldblatt's photographs are political in a way that Evans' never were. Underlying everything he did, Goldblatt has said, "was an intense hatred or dislike of apartheid and of the whole system that had been built up around it and my work was a critique of that." This doesn't mean that politics entered his images overtly. That rarely happened. Instead, he approached politics obliquely, never feeling that "every time that I went out with a camera that I had to do something that was going to knock another nail in the coffin of apartheid."
If we want to get a sense of the scale of Goldblatt's achievement, we'll compare him not to other photographers, but to novelists, to a William Faulkner or a Nadine Gordimer, the Nobel Prize-winning South Africa novelist with whom he collaborated on two of his most important books. Like these writers, he finds his deepest meanings in ordinary people and things that he approaches with compassion, but without sentimentality. Like them, he discovers the universal in the particular, which is why his photography will resonate for a very long time.
All of this makes it seem strange that Goldblatt's photographs, many of which have become iconic in South Africa, haven't entered the popular consciousness outside of his native land. There are several reasons for this. First, it reflects the marginalization of African photography in the rest of the world. Photography from Africa just isn't on the radars screens of many people elsewhere.
Second, Goldblatt, being white and Jewish, isn't seen as African enough on those still-too-rare occasions when African photography is shown and discussed. This way of thinking is simply wrong, as everything I've said so far should make clear, but it's shaped the way his work has been received.
Most importantly, the very strengths of Goldblatt's photography make it unfashionable in the photographic world of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. His understatement and complexity place considerable demands on his viewers. His lack of flash denies them instant gratification. It's slow photography in a fast food world.
For its 2013 Cornell Capa Lifetime Achievement Award, the ICP has made a brilliant choice. Goldblatt's body of work is one of the finest contemporary examples of the greatness that photography can achieve, and wider recognition is long overdue.

The Salt Lake Bees rebounded from a Monday drubbing with a 7-4 victory over the visiting Albuquerque Isotopes on Tuesday afternoon. Salt Lake lost 15-9 the night before, allowing six home runs.
This time around Albuquerque (21-24) could not get its bats going against lefty Justin Thomas (2-5). The southpaw allowed just two runs, one earned, on five hits and three walks while striking out eight batters in six innings.
Matt Long went 3-for-4 with four RBI to pace the Bees (15-31). Clint Robinson, Alex Guerrero and Carlos Triunfel had two hits apiece for the Isotopes.
Carlos Frias (2-2) took the loss for Albuquerque. The right-hander allowed all seven runs, six earned, on eight hits and three walks in four-plus innings.
Trailing 7-2 entering the ninth, the Isotopes attempted one final rally, all with two outs. Jamie Romak doubled and then scored on Triunfel's single to left field.
After a walk by Mike Baxter, Walter Ibarra smoked an RBI single to right field. Representing the tying run, Joc Pederson grounded out to shortstop to end the game.
Salt Lake media reported, via Twitter, that there was an altercation in the dugout in the eighth inning between Guerrero and catcher Miguel Olivo. Both players were subsequently removed from the game. The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to release an official statement about what happened later Tuesday.
Albuquerque and Salt Lake will meet again Wednesday at 6:35 p.m. The Isotopes will send right-hander Red Patterson (2-2, 4.54 ERA) to the mound against the Bees' Wade LeBlanc (4-1, 4.34).

Full, groomed brows make you look younger and actually allow you to wear less makeup, but it's important they look natural—not painted on.
• Choose the right product. The new mousses and waxes from companies like Tarte, Laura Mercier, and Vincent Longo are my favorites for beefing up brows. They can be layered from sheer to opaque so they fill in holes, and the wet-to-dry formulas add thickness. Plus, they're long-wearing.
• Know how dark to go. If your brows are nearly invisible, pick a product close to your hair's natural base tone. If you have dark brows and need to fill or thicken them, go with something one to two shades lighter than your hair color (or darker for stronger brows), and if you have black hair, match them as closely as possible.
• Perfect the shape. Don't go thicker than the natural width of your brows right above the side of your nose. The larger your eyes and lips are, the thicker your brows can be, and if you have a prominent brow bone, you can square them off a little bit more.
• Start in the middle. Since your first strokes lay down the most color, start at your arches, which are naturally the darkest part of your brows, and move toward the tail, finishing with the lightest application at the inner corners.

Debt Bubble Chronicles: Does Bernanke REALLY Think QE Will Boost Home Prices… Or is He Simply Trying to Hide an Even Bigger Problem?

And if you believe those graphs that show housing markets have stabilized, I have some houses in Florida and California to sell you. How many can I mark you down for?
Have to say, here in Aus we have a Govt sanctioned 4 bank cartel that
originates 90% of residential mortgages (fractional reserve of course), where
the mortagee usually provides 10% deposit (the reserve) and the bank
advances its digital 90% balance. Recently our Central Bank increased
the cash rate by 25 basis points, and now the cartel is adding up to an
additional 20 points on top of that (45 points), based on the claim that
their funding costs have increased. They are not even fooling our
politicians and MSM parrots anymore.
Thanks Withdrawn Sanction, appreciate your elucidation on the FED.
You, the people, must continue throwing cream-puffs at City Hall until
you drown the bastards.
Great post. I agree that BB is fighting to keep the TBTFs from failing. I think he is fighting the same fight as in 2008 - fighting to keep the global financial system from total collapse. The reason the entire global financial system is at risk of collapse, rather than just those banks that made bad mistakes, is the hideously complex and widespread web of derivative financial instruments that exists today. If the big players at the core of the derivatives biz go belly up, there is one hell of a worldwide mess. In that scenario, I wonder what happens to the little guy. The owner of a $3MM office property, who refi'd in 2007, whose lender at that time refused to offer fixed rate debt, but sold him on an interest rate swap that fixed his borrowing cost. His lender then went out and hedged that with one of the big boys, pocketing a really nice fee up front. Even smaller banks were pushing their loan officers really hard to sell rate swaps to borrowers, because they were enormously profitable up front. So if the whole system collapses, what happens to the guy with the $2.4MM SWAP on his $3MM (now $2MM) office property....??
He is sacrificing the US Dollar, middle class, savings, and possibly even the Republic just to aid his Wall Street masters.
his wall street masters? nah, he works for the people.
i'm just wondering about all that derivative exposure; don't the big banks have that exposure with each other? so basically if one goes down, they all go down? not sayin that's a bad thing, just sayin.
I am amazed at how someone quotes a notional amount and predicts armageddon. That $188 Trillion tied to interest rates is not the real exposure.
1. An interest rate swap involves no exchange of principal (notional), and the cash flow (if done via ISDA documentation) is the net of two interest rate coupons - usually one fixed and one floating. I can opt to receive a fixed rate (coupon) on a notional amount, and pay a floating (usually a spread against LIBOR in the underlying currency) - or vice versa. My payment or receipt is the net of what I am required to pay, and what I am required to receive.
2. If I am an IB and I put on an interest rate swap as part of a deal with a client, chances are that I have hedged it away with an equal and opposite swap - locking in a spread or fees. In reality, the total exposure is zero for me. However, anyone adding up the notional will now have twice as much due to the fact that they are adding the notional of two swaps (which cancel each other out).
3. Let's say that as a matter of course of business, I have many swaps with the same counterparty, put on for various unique business reasons. These swaps could result in a NET notional exposure of zero, with all the coupon payments in both directions (fixed and floating) netting out, or leaving a very small net payment. Yet, anyone adding up the notional would come to the conclusion that there is a huge exposure.
I'm not saying that there isn't risk in the system - but it cannot be measured by quoting the sum of all notional without regard to the sign or direction of the swap. Nothing can be concluded or extrapolated by saying that the sum of all the notional of all the interest rate swaps is 188 trillion. I know a company that borrows in the market and lends to businesses to underwrite trade. They borrow using fixed rates in a variety of currencies, but always swap to a floating rate USD - and their loans are made in floating rate USD as well. Adding up the notional on the swaps would show an amount in the billions - yet the swaps are part of a conversion to remove interest rate risk and guarantee a spread on their business. This leaves mgmt as being credit risk managers instead of interest rate managers - a far different risk.
The answer is not that we don't have good, smart people trying to solve our problems. Obama's staff is stocked with capable, bright people including Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner,...
You lost me right there
Bigger problem in hiding. Ben continues to conceal.

is for them the most sacred of rights and the most imperative of duties" - Declaration of the Rights of Man (1789)
So, I guess the question is, since this is the course the Fed intends to take, how much is this going to cost? How much needs to be "printed" to fill the black hole of these derivatives? At what point do we say "NO MORE!". Wasn't that about a trillion dollars ago? Will it take a complete transfer of all the assets of the U. S. plus a wheelbarrow full of IOUs to get this taken care of? And who benefits? We get to go back to business as usual and run up another "asset" class to oblivion? We now know the problem -- what's the solution?
irs are the hydrogen bomb of the derivatives world...those things will blow up....not sure when but that moment will be the teleological moment of the financial hubris of the financial elite.
I have to agree. I never thought they were doing any of this for the economy. The cheaper programs like the housing subsidy and cash for clunkers actually had some effect for a little while. If they wanted to address the economy, they would have done similar things. But all they have been doing is printing and looting for the banks. That is why it will never stop no matter how much inflation shows up. There is no way to make the banks solvent.
I'm with this. monetizing or laundering..
thanks honestann, now I know I can trust them
You want a new housing boom? That is utterly trivial to create. All the FederalReserve and government of the USSA need do is --- zip, zero, nada, nothing.
Specifically, if the FederalReserve removed itself from the lending business (to banks and the USSA), and the government of the USSA closed down FannyMae and FreddieMac, prices of homes would drop 50% or more in just a few months... at which point.
The low prices would cause the housing market to boom.
The predators-that-be have destroyed, and continue to destroy the housing market.
Sure, at the cost of making everyone who is current on their mortgage payments underwater instantaneously. This might also piss off anyone who owns their home outright. Not that I care, but I would have to default on my mortgage if such an event were to occur. Why is "punish savers" always the only viable strategy?
That is the risk everyone takes when they make a purchase. Why should people who are and were responsible be punished to support people who were irresponsible and/or misguided? Explain that to me.
Also understand that mortgages are debts collateralized by the home. Thus homeowners who were mislead and scammed by the banks can ethically and legally stop paying their mortgage payments, and hand back the keys when the bank decides to take control of the collateral... exactly how it works in commercial real-estate, by the way.
Therefore, those folks who are "underwater" have a way out without loosing very much, since down payments were irresponsibly held absurdly low by the banks the past several years. In the scenario I outlined, they can rent for a year or three, then buy a home at 1/3 the price and be far, far ahead of where they are now.
And the ever-increasing millions of folks who cannot afford their own home, or who are responsible and refuse to buy at these insane prices, or who are responsible and refuse to buy before they have saved the nominal 20% down payment... they too can finally get a home at a fair price.
So, the solution I give is the best solution for nearly everyone... not to mention the natural and ethical solution.
Could it be that China plans to introduce a gold backed currency, which would then replace the dollar as the global reserve currency?
Let's hope so.
We all should switch to demanding gold as payment, and buying and selling with gold.
I have already done so with 96% of items I need to buy. The other 4% I have not found suppliers willing to exchange their products for gold. BTW, that 96% is up from 28% four years ago.
I am just a financial ingenu from down-under. Can someone tell me
that the FED is not just a Warburg created private banking cartel?
Yes, Warburg was on hand to help draft the 1913 Act, as were reps of National City (Rockefeller), and the House of Morgan (not to mention some bit players from the Senate Banking Committee). Its creation was done in secret because the American public had twice rebuffed the creation of central bank.
The construct these anti-Americans devised made the District Banks the locus of power initially and these FR Banks were owned by the commercial banks in the respective districts (it was a form of mock federalism designed to overcome resistance of those who opposed centralized banking power married to centralized political power). Member banks were required to purchase shares in their respective district bank. The Bd of Governors (where the locus of power rests today) is a quasi-govt entity. Quasi in that it does not have to suffer annual appropriations (like the Dept of Commerce of Defense Dept does), report in detail on its operations, or otherwise submit to meaningful public scrutiny.
Tick, tock...Big Ben.
http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ These may give you some insight. Note they are in reverse order of play. The bits on the Fed are at the end of the 3rd one and throughout the second one.
Sure they can. Just not honestly.
You are correct. The fees are really what have been pulled forward. Two or three trillon on roughly sixty trillion of derivatives. But none of us can know for certain, can we? Correct that one party theoretically loses fees on a side of the trade but the losing side on the fees had to be paid off too or they would have given up the goose.
Don't forget what a lot of the derivatives funded, it was the final acceleration of the rise of the East, the lovely mandraking game played out over forty years. Oh and love the circus of calling China the enemy. What is almost humorous is that unlike the 1890's or the 1970's tens of millions now know the Wizard Behind the Curtain. Also would be hillarious if not so deadly is the Chinese/Russians not playing hoops like they said they would but that is more insurance to force the West into payments for all the friends of the circle but cannot be met.
Hopefully, TPTB realize all of this and attempt a shot at global democracy instead of the God's and Clods society. If not, that physical hedging is going to come in awful handy.
Excellent Post: Built on Fact
A disingenuous bearded cue ball like Bernank-ster always has his hands in his pockets playing TBTF pocket pool one way or another...
Timmay Can't Play TBTF Pocket Pool
Even when Timmay was at FRBNY...
No nads...
"... Bernanke is doing one thing and one thing only: trying to shore up the overleveraged, derivative-riddled balance sheets of the Too Big to Fails. He is sacrificing the US Dollar, middle class, savings, and possibly even the Republic just to aid his Wall Street masters."
Bullseye! 100 and 1 % correct. Just wanted to add that Hank Paulson and Tim Geithner have exactly the same motives, even though unlike the "independent" Fed Hank and Timmy suppsoed to be Public Servants.
Shut down all the banks involved with the sub prime and derivatives market. Bankruptcy is their solution.
Prop up the banks that are left behind. Jail all Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Bank of America execs. If we did this two years ago I virtually garuntee we would not need QE2.
brilliant well written. fantastic investigation.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the housing market, liquidity or interest rates. It has to do with stabilizing the bond market and the dollar. The Chinese have telegraphed their intention not to buy Treasuries. The Fed has become the only buyer.
So you should be able to take the amount and timeframe of the derivitives (edit: specific to interest rates) and figure out how long and how much devaluation Bennie needs to keep his buddies in the game. (ie. 8 years at 0% with another 40% devaluation in the dollar)
Let the banks fail; no more derivatives problem.
That would solve other problems as well. Overpopulation being the main one.
I agree with the premise that QE is chiefly about shoring up insolvent bank balance sheets.
But the discussion re: derivatives is just awful. I'm certainly not the world's greatest expert, but seriously... at least figure out how a swap works before you comment on OTC derivatives and how they create some kind of waking hellscape.
It's an interesting subject.
Maybe. But higher interest rates also bankrupt the US government and collapse the economy faster, even without derivatives. I see all these complicated explanations for QE like BB is trying to explode inflation in China faster than the US, or the US wants to devalue faster to increase export competitiveness. To me the simplest answer is the most probable. Namely that the US wants/needs to spend more than its income and has no choice but to print.
I totally forgot about the derivatives, this is a big problem that will come to the forefront very very soon.
They have a saying in Texas, "You dance with the one who brung ya." For you sophisticates, "follow the money" or, as I tell my husband every now and then, "If you a peek at the curtains, show me who's daddy."
By the way, once again, every intervention is on behalf of big banks but made to look like it is for regular people, homeowners.
Regular people, and banks would be better off if they took the money they are printing and hired people to do useful stuff...or if you treat people like banks, simple hand the money to people for doing nothing...shoot, we are suffering the weakness of the dollar anyway, at least we should get something from it.
Of course, the actions are alwayes justified by a pack of lies about helping J6P.
To all you liberterians out there, the derivatives market is a completely free, unregulated by govt market. Only govt involvement was when we bailed AIG out in 2008...if govt had stayed out, would have been horrible global crash and seizing up. If govt protected bank deposits, things would have gotten back going after practically every debt in world and most people's wealth wiped out....not that wouldn't have better than what we have now...but still major pain due to out of control, manipulated, corrupt market that would have allowed bankers that crashed their companies still to exit with fortunes while everyone else wiped out.
Here we go, bashing libertarians for not being regulatory enough. Last time I looked, the SEC wasn't doing jack shit about many excesses and outright fradulent activities. Brooksley Born warned us all about the derivatives market and nothing was ever done to rein it in, so spare me that free market strawman nonsense, okay? Part of libertarian philosophy deals with keeping markets around to trade in, not greedily blowing everything up and leaving nothing but smoking craters all over the place. Ethics are completely absent in our system.
There's ALWAYS a huge, free market in fraud -- feel 'free' to participate -- just don't mistake this for Libertarian philosophy!
So all the built in backstops are part of the free market? I imagine the Federal Reserve is a creation of the free market and not the state as well then? It's incredibly unlikely this would happen without backstops and guarantees, and even if they did they would go under and lose money. Due to the statist system men like Jamie Dimon live in opulence while the common man is robbed. Man so glad we have the state watching out for us.
Oh pahlease. This absurd derivatives market only exists because of centralized, fractional-reserve banking, which libertarians rightly hate with a passion. Which is to say, it's not a free market regulated by the protection of life, liberty, and property; it's a free-for-all "regulated" by the global banking cartel that control all, never mind that it's totally out of control.
What a fucking dumb-ass.
Heh. That's the same argument that the Communists use. They claim it's a great system, but it just hasn't been tried.
Which I suppose one might apply to Socialism, Fascism, whatever. Theoretical observations are great in theory, but they suck in practice.
Bullshit. You either police yourselves and create a sustainable system or you don't. Ideology doesn't matter.

I saw her just the other day
But she wouldn't look my way
I think she looks tanner that ever
Impossible for mid-November
Tan in a can
Tan in a can
Lying there in that aluminum tube
Orange skin, pigmented lotion tube
The friends you make, the ones I hate
Your body is baked, your tan is fake
Now you told your friends at school
Said that you laid by the pool
Looking wrinkled, looking old
Maximum U.V. overload
Tan in a can

For new parents getting a baby to sleep can be an emotionally wrenching experience. In fact, Dr. Harvey Karp, author of the well-loved Happiest Baby on the Block book, says, "Sleep is the biggest challenge parents face. It's the number-one cause of grinding teeth. To make things worse, so much of the information out there around sleep is inaccurate."
To help parents and babies get a good night's sleep, Dr. Karp decided to write a book. The Happiest Baby Sleep Guide doesn't hit store shelves until June, but we checked in with Dr. Karp to debunk some of the most common myths around babies and sleeping. (He also told us that he's looking for a photo of the happiest sleeping baby for the cover of his book; photo contest details below.)
1) Babies should sleep in a quiet room. Adults sleep better in silence, but babies don't. They need noise—not a blaring TV or a screaming toddler, but a white noise machine, re-creating the shushing sound that the fetus is surrounded by in the womb.
Dr. Karp says that parents often mistakenly turn their machines onto a high-pitched sound but babies prefer low-pitched sounds that resemble the rumbling of a train. Dr. Karp created a calming-sounds recording designed for babies that you can purchase on a CD or download from iTunes.
2) Newborns can't be sleep trained. "Every book will tell you that you can't start a sleep schedule until after three or four months," Dr. Karp says. "Totally untrue. Using sleep cues you can start within the first few weeks." These sleep cues include swaddling, white noise, and some babies like a pacifier or need to sleep in a swing. (Dr. Karp recommends that you consult your pediatrician before leaving a sleeping baby in a swing.)
3) If you sleep train, you have to let your baby cry it out. If you use the sleep cues mentioned above, you won't need to put your crying baby in his crib and leave the room. In fact, Dr. Karp thinks parents should swaddle their crying babies and soothe them to sleep, or allow them to doze off while feeding. "Going to your crying baby quickly is one of the key sets to helping build your child's confidence," Dr. Karp says. "The more you respond to your infant's needs, the more you build attachment."
4) Never wake a sleeping baby. Actually, you should wake your baby. When your baby drifts off to sleep in your arms, jostle him just enough so his eyes open, before putting him in the crib. "Rousing your baby gives him the experience of putting himself back to sleep," Dr. Karp explains.
5) Rice cereal makes babies sleep longer. Fatty, rich, calorie-packed breast milk will give your baby's tummy a pleasant full feeling, while rice milk could cause gas and bloating. "Studies have proven that rice cereal doesn't prolong sleep," Dr. Karp says.
Is your baby the happiest sleeper? Dr. Karp is looking for the perfect sleeping baby photo for the cover of his new book. Enter the contest by submitting a photo and your baby could be the face of the new book. Learn more about the contest.

Keystone Resort in Summit County, Colo., plans to host its second-annual "Love on the Lifts" speed-dating event on Friday. The Valentine's Day program from 10 a.m. to noon gives singles a chance for a series of 11-minute speed dates during the lift ride on the River Run Gondola.
The match-making activity starts in where else but the "singles line" at the base of the River Run Gondola. Other than the need for a lift ticket or pass, the event itself is free. Singles can reconnect for après-ski Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. during the Valentine's Party held at 9280' Tap House restaurant in River Run Village.
Keystone is also in the midst of its annual "Savor the Slopes" February showcase of the resort's restaurants. Friday's event is scheduled to be a French wine tasting at Keystone Ranch. Reservations for any of the $25 tastings may be made by calling 970-496-4386.
Apart from potential romance, excellent skiing should be certain at the ski area. As of Tuesday, the resort reported 28 inches of new snow in the previous seven days. A chance of additional snow is forecast during the coming week. All 3,148 skiable acres were open with a base snow depth of 67 inches.

Want to paint a full-size carousel horse as soon as possible? Want to know what type of paint is going to work? Want to know how you should approach this painting project? Want to be patient with what you are doing? This is what people have to wonder about when they are looking to set their amusement park.
Carousels horses are not easy to paint, and you will need to have advice in hand to get started. This is the advice that will assist in your journey towards painting the carousel horse properly. When you adopt these tips, you will find painting is going to become simpler.
Clean Off Surface
The surface has to be cleaned off. The material is not always going to be clean even if you are painting a new carousel horse. You want to have it even and cleaned. You might have to use some form of a scraper to get excess dirt off. Make sure it is done well and you are spending time on this part because the horse is not going to be prepared enough.
When the paint is put over top of dirt, it is going to show and that is going to take away from the look you want.
Find Plastic Friendly Paint
There are many kinds of paints being sold right now, and you have to locate the one that is going to work for the full size carousels. It is not just about the amount of paint you are getting, but the kind of paint you are getting as well. You want to know the paint being used will work out.
This is why you need to go with the paint that is going to be "plastic friendly" as this is the only paint that will do well for you moving forward. This paint will handle the carousel horse's surface well.
Work In Layers
It should take around 3-4 layers (thin) to coat the horse. You have to look to get all of the sides and not miss spots as this will look odd. Instead, spend time on making sure each layer that is being sprayed on remains even throughout. This will give it the beautiful look you are hoping to get. A painted merry go round ride for sale usually is an stunner of park owner.
Layers are important because the paint has to be spread across the horse or it is not going to look the way you want it to.
These are the tips you will need to paint your carousel horse. Some people use general paint, and that is not going to look good. Not only will it not appeal to your taste, but it is also going to be odd regarding the look you are getting. Stick to paint that is made for plastic as this is the paint you will be able to trust to look good. The kids carousel horse ride with colorful paint always attracts children's attention.
Put this paint on and you will realize why people use this option instead of other choices. It will go on easily and look fantastic as well which is the purpose of doing this.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama soccer team made a first half lead stand up as the Crimson Tide knocked off the 11th ranked Florida Gators, 1-0, Friday night at the Alabama Soccer Stadium. It was the first time in program history that Alabama had defeated Florida and it was also the highest ranked opponent that the Tide has ever defeated.
With the win, Alabama improves to 8-7-2 overall and 3-6-2 in the Southeastern Conference, while Florida falls to 12-4-1 overall and 9-2-0 in the SEC. The win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Tide and also snapped a nine-game winning streak for the Gators.
The Crimson Tide scored the game's only goal late in the first half thanks to a pair of its underclassmen forwards. Sophomore Pia Rijsdijk forced a Gator turnover and was able to find freshman forward Katie Bourgeois streaking into the box. Bourgeois collected the through ball and slid the ball to the back post, putting Alabama up 1-0 in the 39th minute. The goal was the eighth of the season for Bourgeois, while Rijsdijk collected her sixth assist.
Alabama made the goal stand up with some superb defending and goalkeeping. After outshooting the Gators, 9-5, in the first half, the Crimson Tide goal was under siege in the second half, as Florida outshot the Tide, 8-2, in the second frame, forcing junior goalkeeper Shelby Church to make several key stops late in the match to preserve her third shutout of the season.
Church recorded five saves to secure her third shutout of the season. Rijsdijk and Florida's Adriana Leon led all players with five shots.
UA returns to the Alabama Soccer Stadium on Sunday afternoon with a match against South Carolina. First kick is set for 1 p.m.

Video: Thinking About Flying
Posted by mleyba on 01/08/2012 12:05am MDT tags: Video
The Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver is housing 16 homing pigeons on the roof of their building as part of an art project entitled "Thinking About Flying" by Pittsburgh-based artist Jon Rubin. Museum visitors are invited to take home a pigeon and release it as much as 24 hours later. The pigeon will fly back to it's loft at the museum. In the process, the visitor's home temporarily houses the artwork.
"For this project, Rubin wanted to change the boundaries of where a museum begins and ends," says Sarah Kate Baie, Director of Programing for the Museum of Contemporary Art.
The homing pigeons were donated by the Foothills Pigeon Racing Club and have been raised on the museum's roof. During a training process the birds were released at greater and greater distances from the museum in order to help them learn how to fly back to their home. Video by Mahala Gaylord
Pigeons are available for loan Fri-Sun 2-5PM. The pigeon loft can be found on the roof. Pigeons are available for check-out to those living within 30 miles of MCA Denver. The exhibit will be running through April 29, 2012.

Congress restored a policy first enacted by the Bush administration which allowed loaded, concealed, firearms in National Parks for citizens who possess a valid concealed carry firearms permit from their state. Fox News is reporting on the story here. Last year 51 senators, from both parties, asked the Department of Interior to change the rules related to firearm possession inside national parks. The senators asked the Department to change the rule so that the rules in National Parks would mirror those of the state where the park is located. Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla) sponsored the bill, which was added as an amendment to the Credit Card Reform bill that is working its way through Congress.
The rule was changed under the Bush administration to allow concealed carry permit holders to carry firearms in national parks in accordance with State Laws. I know that guns are an emotional subject, but this rule change was a nice dose of common sense. Like all good things it has faced opposition, and in March 2009 a Federal Judge invalidated the rule change and prevented the implementation of the rule from going forward.
Senator Coburn, quoted by the Washington Post here states:
If an American citizen has a right to carry a firearm in their state, it makes no sense to treat them like a criminal if they pass through a national park while in possession of a firearm.
Bravo Senator Coburn. I voted for Dr. Coburn when I lived in Oklahoma and I'm proud to hear some common sense being proposed by Congress. This amendment simply allows the same rules that apply in a state to apply in the National Parks. The typical argument against allowing guns in parks usually follow the lines of "If we let guns in parks then some nut job is going to shoot Smokey the Bear and kill all the animals. How can the animals feel safe if we let guns in the parks?"
There are so many things wrong with this argument. First and foremost, if you're not allowed to carry a gun in your state then you can't carry a gun in the park. Plain and simple. To obtain a concealed carry permit you have to attend a training and then submit to a state run background check before the permit is issued. It is not a simple thing to obtain the permit. I worry a lot less about those who follow the rules and submit to the checks to obtain the permits than I do about the criminals who carry the guns without the permit. Additionally, we still allow cars in national parks and I can guarantee that more animals, and I'd dare guess people, are killed every year in National Parks by automobile accidents than are killed by guns.
If you don't like that logic then let me throw another piece of logic at you. In Utah, home to a number of National Parks and Monuments, there are towns that are surrounded by National Parks. To get to or from the town you have to travel through the park. For these citizens to travel from their homes they must either leave their guns at home, or must stop at the border of the park to unload and disassemble their firearms to travel through the park. They must do this even if they have a valid concealed carry permit. This makes no sense. Does the federal government believe that these law abiding citizens will simply go nuts once they cross the boundaries of the park and shoot everything in sight? The rule change and subsequent legislation by Senator Coburn in response to the Federal Court lawsuit in March are simply trying to clarify the rules and provide some uniformity within the states where these parks are located.
As a gun owner myself I am glad to know that the government is trying to make the rules easier to understand and not more complex. I don't want to have to be worried about crossing some arbitrary line and being a law abiding citizen on one side of the line and a criminal on the other. If I can be trusted by the state to safely carry a gun then why don't the same rules apply federally? I would love to hear your comments on this issue.
This video pretty much sums up my feelings about the irrational fear of guns.

Senior Victor Chavez got the Bruins on the board in the 19th minute and freshman Gage Zerboni scored the game-winner in the 70th minute as the fourth-ranked UCLA men's soccer team kept pace in a tight Pac-12 race with a 2-1 victory over No. 3 Washington on Sunday afternoon.
The Bruins moved to 8-3-4 with the win and are now 3-1-3 in Pac-12 play. Washington dropped to 11-1-4 with the loss and are now 4-1-2 in conference play. Before the match, UCLA honored its seven graduating seniors (Max Estrada, Ryan Lee, Victor Munoz, Patrick Matchett, Reed Williams, Victor Chavez, Joe Sofia) with a short ceremony.
Washington saw two great chances in the third minute, when Michael Harris sent in a long ball to box off a flip throw for the Huskies. Justin Schmidt was able to get a header on goal that looked to be going in, but senior Patrick Matchett made a terrific clearing header off the line to prevent the goal. Seconds later, Josh Heard attempted a volley that beat junior keeper Earl Edwards Jr., but again Matchett was in great position and headed the ball off the line to keep the match scoreless.
The Bruins would strike first in the 19th minute, starting when sophomore Jordan Vale took the ball on the left side of the box. He was able to dribble around his defender and laid off a nice back pass to Chavez, who turned and buried the ball in the far post for his sixth of the year. The match slowed down a bit from there, as both teams traded possession in the midfield. But then just before the half, Washington tied the match when James Moberg flicked the ball past Edwards off a scramble in the box from a long throw-in, tying things at 1-1 going into the locker room.
The Huskies came out with more intensity at the start of the second half and almost went ahead in the 60th minute. Darwin Jones was able to get around his man and crossed the ball to the middle to Mason Robertson, who turned and sent a dribbler towards a wide open net after Edwards came out. However, freshman Michael Amick stopped the ball on the line, allowing Edwards to come over and scoop up the ball to end the play.
In the 66th minute, Zerboni entered the match for the Bruins and immediately made his presence felt, nearly scoring in the 69th minute with a long-range shot from the top of the box before finally putting the Bruins ahead by one in the 70th minute. The play started when freshman Felix Vobejda outhustled the Washington defense to keep the ball in play on the endline. He then dropped it back to junior Leo Stolz, who one-timed a chip to the far post to Zerboni, who then headed the ball into an open net for the goal.
Washington continued to push men forward for the final 20 minutes, putting the Bruins back on their heels as the Huskies looked for the equalizer. But UCLA was up to the challenge, preventing the Huskies from finding the tying goal and going on to claim the 2-1 victory.
The match was played in front of a crowd of 1,952 people today, which marks a season-high for the Bruins at Drake Stadium. Additionally, UCLA had just five shots in the match but scored on two of them.
"It's nice to have this hard-fought win over Washington after playing them up in Seattle and earning a tough draw," head coach Jorge Salcedo said. "To come back down here and win the match is what we deserved. Our group over the past few games has had some difficult moments, but I am really proud of how we persevered and beat a good team that poses a lot of challenges today. We are going to move forward and still have a lot to play for. Hopefully today's win will enhance our postseason resume as well."
The Bruins (8-3-4, 3-1-3) will travel to the Bay Area next weekend to square off against Stanford (7-4-2, 1-3-1) on Friday, Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. and No. 1 California (10-1-2, 4-0-1) on Sunday, Nov. 3 at 1 p.m. Both matches will be televised live by the Pac-12 Networks.
Watch Patrick Matchett's clearances off the line as well as UCLA's two goals from today

The Hurricane Music Festival, Real Music by Real Teenagers
Source: Joseph Rabinovitsj
September 3, 2013
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
As a freshman in high school, Steffan Salas and his brother started a band and wanted to start getting gigs. However, for such young musicians, doing so was difficult and almost impossible. Fast-forward two years to 2012, Salas had responded to the lack of serious outlets for young musical talent by organizing his own music festival exclusively featuring teenage bands: the Hurricane Music Festival (HMF). Salas is now working to put on this festival for a second time on September 7th between 2 and 5 PM. Salas described the lineup as full of "really talented… high level bands."
"[HMF] is a place where high school bands can get a lot of exposure, sell merchandise, and have people come and watch them and find out who are the newest rising musicians in their community" Salas explained. "The main things that I wanted to incorporate [into the festival] were original music and all the bands have to actually be playing and actually singing; recorded music in a live situation has been becoming more widespread nowadays and I want [HMF] to be promoting live music."
In hopes of fulfilling this mission of promoting live music made by teenage bands, the festival is free admission. Admission to HMF is able to be free of charge because it is funded by the city of Palo Alto through the Teen Arts Council, an initiative of the Palo Alto Children's Theater, both of which have helped Salas organize and fund the event.
HMF is also host to the first city-sponsored skateboarding event ever to be approved by the city of Palo Alto.Taking place in Mitchell Park, a known skate spot for its concrete bowl, the festival will also double as a skate jam. Skateworks, a local company that recently moved from Redwood City to Mountain View, is the primary sponsor of the festival's skate jam.
This added attraction will be a means of giving the festival's bands more exposure.
This year four bands will be playing at the festival, Build the Empire, Headcreep, Remi & Chloe, and another that is yet to be determined.
The first band, Build the Empire, after closing the festival last year will be opening this year with their "alternative rock" music. "[The group] really really put a lot of thought into their music," making it the type of music that Salas says is, "hard to explain, you kinda just have to see it." You can't see it here, but you can take a listen:
The second band, Headcreep (formerly known as Gravel), is a "punk influenced grunge band" from San Jose, returning to the Hurricane Music Festival for the second time. The group just released their first EP "Enjoy Your Cancer" (below) online and are currently searching for labels.
The final act, Remi & Chloe, is a duet from Palo Alto that will be performing with the Extracts. They play at a number of open mics and a few venues around Palo Alto and the rest of the Bay Area. To hear a live, original number by Remi & Chloe and the Extracts, take a listen below.
With the advertising he has been doing for the event up and down the peninsula in addition to the Skateworks-sponsored skate jam, Salas hopes to see a big turnout at the Hurricane Music Festival and ultimately introduce the Bay Area to some of the local rising musicians.

Game of the Day: Liverpool 0 SAFC 1
by Kate Smith
Cummins ensures safety in final day clash at Anfield.
2nd May 1981
Almost 10,000 Sunderland fans made the trip to Liverpool on the final day of the 1980-81 campaign as the Black Cats' fate hung in the balance depending on the game's final result.
Two teams had already been relegated from the First Division and it had went down to the final day of the season to see which team would occupy that third and final relegation spot, with Sunderland, Brighton and Norwich all in the running.
The Lads had the uphill task of taking on Liverpool in their own backyard and despite not challenging for League honours the Reds were in the finals of the European Cup.
Alan Hansen, Graeme Souness and Ray Clemence lined up for Liverpool, alongside Ian Rush who was in his maiden season at the club.
Stan Cummins fired the only goal of the game just after the half hour mark, his shot triggered scenes of delerium amongst the Sunderland fans, followed by a nailbiting second half as the Lads hung on to gain their first victory at Anfield in 20 years and guaranteed Division One football the following season.
Kennedy went close for Liverpool but was denied by the woodwork, come full time Sunderland's travelling fans were in raptures after surviving the threat of relegation, without having to worry about results elsewhere.
Later that month Liverpool were victorious in the European Cup Final, when future Sunderland star Alan Kennedy's goal was enough to see off Real Madrid.
Forward Cummins was named as Sunderland's Player of the Year for 1981 and also the North-East of England Outfield Player of the Year for 1981. He was also the only Sunderland player to play in all 46 League and Cup games that season.
Liverpool: Clemence, Neal, Money, Irwin, Kennedy (Ray), Hansen, Gayle, Lee Rush, McDermott, Souness
Sub: Russell
Sunderland: Siddall, Hinnigan, Bolton, Hindmarch, Elliott, Rowell, Chilsolm, Buckley, Ritchie, Brown, Cummins

We have a knife defense program that teaches individuals how to prevent, avoid, survive and prevail in an edged or impact weapon attack.
The edged implement is the oldest tool known to man and a large population of people will carry something from a $2 boxcutter to $1000 custom cutlery.
There is a very high likelihood that if you are attacked, your attacker will be armed with a knife or other type of impact weapon.
Your self defense training is not complete if it does not include dealing with impact weapons, whether you are armed or not.
Our knife defense training also includes the awareness of the legal and civil implications of self defense, as well as the serious responsibility, commitment, dedication and discretion that is attached to this type of training.
The KiNETic Defensives program also includes the 'Use of Force' class.

I've Got a Secret
August 12, 2014 | by Je Banach
Keeping mum in the age of spoilers.
For about four months I have kept a secret. Because few people knew that I had it, the difficulty wasn't in resisting others' demand to know but in quashing my own desire to tell. Still, the challenge was significant. The value of a secret seems to increase for the holder in proportion to the level of interest it will attract from its potential audience, and in this regard my secret seemed quite valuable.
In April, after several years writing reading-and-teaching guides for various publishers, I was hired to work on Knopf's guide to the forthcoming English translation of Haruki Murakami's latest novel, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage. A few weeks later, I found the galley at my doorstep. The only information I received about the book, other than its title, came in the form of a brief note of encouragement: The novel would be much shorter than 1Q84, the nine-hundred-something-page tome that preceded it. One other fact, recovered by way of a quick Google search: Colorless Tsukuru sold more than a million copies during its first week on sale abroad.
We often come to a book already knowing something about it—we've seen it mentioned online. My experience with the Murakami novel was entirely different. It was chosen for me; I knew nothing about it. No one I knew had read it or recommended it or tweeted about it. Because I was working from an early galley, there was neither cover art nor jacket copy to inspire any preconceptions or early opinions. Though it had been published internationally, there was, quite remarkably, little information to be found online. My copy of the novel was—fittingly, given its title—without color. There were only the black words on the white page and my thoughts about them. And so I read what will undoubtedly become a popular work as if it were obscure. Read More »

Torrington needs to enforce laws concerning blight
Joseph Friscia, Torrington
It seems there is an article in the Republican-American every month about how Torrington wants to spend more money on a study of how it can make City Center more appealing to businesses and in turn, potential customers. These studies always end up in the same place: a closet where nothing will ever be done with them. Taxpayers get stuck with the tab.

Ted Ross Movies and Career Information
Jun 30, 1934
Jun 30, 1934
Theodore "Ted" Ross Roberts was an American actor who was probably best known for his role as the Lion in The Wiz, an all-African American reinterpretation of The Wizard of Oz. He won a Tony Award for the original 1975 Broadway production, and went on to recreate the role in the 1978 film version which also starred Diana Ross, Michael Jackson and Nipsey Russell. Ross went on to appear in films including Police Academy, and on the television sitcoms The Jeffersons, Benson, The Cosby Show, and its spin-off A Different World. His final role was in the 1991 movie The Fisher King. Ross was born Theodore Ross Roberts in Zanesville, Ohio, but his mother, Elizabeth Russell, a nightclub singer in the 1920s and 1930s, moved the family to Dayton when young Ross was seven. He loved the clubs on West Fifth Street—Dayton's answer to Harlem in the first half of the 20th century. While in junior high, Ross, who was big for his age, would dress up and strut into the Owl Club and The Palace Theater's Midnight Rambles to see great acts such as Duke Ellington. His nightclub exploits as a teenager weren't very popular at home.

I'm trying to plan my meals for Passover week (not for the Seders) and I keep finding conflicting information online? It looks like quinoa is not chametz if it is specifically certified kosher for Passover...yes? I have no idea if I will be able to find that in Georgia, but I was pleasantly surprised to find KFP Coke today, so who knows? Thanks!
Quinoa - KFP?
I agree that it depends whose rules you follow. I'm in ATL as well, and haven't seen KFP quinoa, but plain ole hechshered quinoa. I've seen Ancient Harvest, and also Kroger's Simple Truth line (I think the former says gluten free and the latter does not, but both are from Bolivia/Peru).
BTW, you do know, I hope, that if you need to stock up for Pesach, you should take a trip to the Toco Hills Kroger? :)
That is where I usually go! However, my sister is due with her first baby and day now, and I have no idea if we will be here (GA) or in TN for Passover.
I love that Kroger!

NEW YORK — Beginning next February, New York City dry cleaners will be required to disclose to consumers the primary chemicals used in their dry cleaning process, says the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.
About 1,400 dry cleaning businesses throughout the Big Apple will be required to list the chemicals and a link to information about their health effects, so that consumers can access their potential impact.
DEP will work with affected businesses over the next year to implement the new rule ahead of the enforcement date.
"The local dry cleaner is an essential part of life for most New Yorkers, and it is important that information about all the chemicals used by these businesses is available," says DEP Commissioner Carter Strickland. "At virtually no cost to businesses, this rule will ensure that this important public health information is available to the public."
DEP developed the new disclosure rule in close consultation with the National Cleaners Association (NCA) and other industry groups. Nora Nealis, NCA executive director, says her organization "was pleased to work cooperatively with DEP to develop a strategy for educating consumers about the new cleaning solutions being used in the dry cleaning industry, and we applaud DEP's investment in developing a consumer-friendly website to answer that challenge."
Dry cleaners that use perc are required to post an informational sign that provides contact information to report odors and other problems, the DEP says. The notice also lists where additional information can be found about the potential health effects of perc exposure.
Some dry cleaners have more recently promoted the use of non-perc chemicals but these cleaning agents may also have health risks.
The cost of compliance is minimal or non-existent, according to DEP; dry cleaners simply have to fill out and print the applicable forms from the DEP website and post it in their business.
The draft form for perc dry cleaners is available here.
The draft form for non-perc dry cleaners is available here.

Monday's Most Wanted: Week of 3/24/14
Written by Nicole Porter
Last updated on March 25, 2014 @ 3:42PM
Created on March 24, 2014 @ 6:24PM
The Doddridge County Sheriff's Department is looking for Justin Travis Flesher, who is wanted on a probation violation.
It seems that a thief who has stolen from Walmart and Sam's Club stores from Washington, Pa. through Lewis County has struck again.
Clarksburg Police said the man went to Sam's Club and took a little more than $1,400 worth of items on January 5. Just four days later, he nabbed more items, again worth about $1,400. That's not even the brink of it. Investigators believe he's taken merchandise totaling more than $24,000 from Washington Pa. and Morgantown stores alone up until the middle of February.
Police describe the getaway truck as unique. It's red on the top and bottom, with a wide grey center. In some surveillance videos, it has no tailgate and appears to have a bed liner. If you know who this person is, call the Clarksburg Police Tip Line at 304-624-1625.
Fairmont Police were able to arrest Joshua Yeager. He was wanted for forgery, uttering and failure to appear.

Interest in aviation among sixth and seventh-graders in the Channel View School for Research "took off" after a recent field trip to Floyd Bennett Field. There, the students learned about Floyd Bennett's history as the city's first municipal airport and also as a site used by famous pilots, Amelia Earhardt and Howard Hughes. The students also got some hands-on experience with the aircraft by touring several, which are currently being restored. Pictured is class 712 on a helicopter ramp.

MV Transportation, the New Orleans-based company selected by Milwaukee County administrator Chris Abele to take over administration of the Milwaukee County Transit System, canceled its own open house January 29 at the Washington Park library.
After sending out post cards to residential addresses across the north side only a few days earlier, MV posted a small sign on the door to the library's public meeting room announcing that the open house had been canceled on account of weather -- on the day Milwaukee students went back to school as a slow warming ended two days of double-digit sub-zero high temperatures.
The absence of any noticeable throng of disappointed residents suggested that few had been paying attention in the first place. There had been no mass notice about the cancellation. Library staff asked about the open house had to go look at the door to see what the status of the open house might be.
Although Louisiana is experiencing its own unseasonably cold weather, the cancellation will not inspire confidence that MV is prepared to maintain service through a cold Wisconsin winter.
Abele, who first ran for the county executive position vacated by Scott Walker, on a platform rejecting any renewed efforts to secure dedicated funding for the transit system, invited bids from MV and others on the theory that a low-bid alternative to Milwaukee Transport Services, Incorporated, (MTS) could improve service while decreasing costs.
Many MCTS riders are unaware that there is a private not-for-profit corporation contracted to manage the bus system. MTS was formed when the county took over from ailing private companies in 1975 to save public transit, and has administered the system ever since. Abele has advocated that a for-profit company like MV could produce more and better service on the subsidized transit system, at lower cost. Neither Abele nor MV has been specific on how this would be accomplished, while producing an acceptable profit margin for MV shareholders.
The cancelled open house would have been an opportunity for MV to provide hard numbers and detailed plans for the consideration of inner-city residents, many of whom depend on the bus system to get to school, to work, and to medical appointments. The posted cancellation notice said it would be rescheduled for March 10. Meantime, open houses are scheduled for Atkinson Library Feb 4 and Martin Luther King Library Feb 25, if they are not cancelled also.
