Barbara Boxer[edit]
I noticed you undid a recent edit on the Barbara Boxer page, saying it was 'unexplained' and 'a request to seek consensus on the discussion page. If you look on this discussion page, you will see the changes very clearly explained, and also repeated attempts at reaching consensus. So can I ask for a better explaination. Thank you.

Advice on how to react to a secret linkbomb?[edit]
Sorry to bother you, but I was hoping for your thoughts on a massive list of ambiguous accusations another editor is preparing. He has repeatedly removed the list[1][2][3], perhaps to conceal it. His role in this mess started when he joined a disagreement at WP:MEDCOI on Feb 21st. That debate ran until Feb 24th. In the following week, he:
- Tried to use a Wikipedia printout as an RS at adult diapers to distract from his having "searched for [my website] so [he] could remove any instance where it appeared as a source"[4] or EL.
- Started an edit war with a bot at paraphilic infantilism.
- Edit warred to force an unnecessary dismbiguation definition at infantilism,
- Made an edit at diaper fetishism[5], replacing a citation to relevant pages with one to a mostly irrelevant chapter, after the same edit had already been discussed and shown counterproductive at paraphilic infantilism[6].
Etc. This left me having to fix his mess at multiple locations; locations where he had never edited before but that I had long been involved with. I'm not sure if this is above the threshold for wikihounding yet. His last edit to the accusations was
Saturday today[7]. What do you think I should do next?
Also, congrats on 10,000 edits. That shows dedication. At my rate won't reach that point for a couple decades. BitterGrey (talk) 15:31, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- That accusation set has been updated to include this request for advice[8]. BitterGrey (talk) 13:39, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Franklin child prostitution ring allegations[edit]
New Approach[edit]
Edits (and deletions) need to have consensus. As an alternative to taking the dispute further lets try and discuss proposed edits in Talk and include only what is agreed to by more than one editor. Wayne (talk) 18:20, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- It seems consensus has become impossible. With regard to the Bonacci case (discussion above) I worked to define the merits of the case, fastidiously sourcing every change in accord with P. & W.'s previous demands. P. & W. changed some aspects of my revision, which you found unacceptable, so you reverted to the version that prevailed during March. P. & W. then objected to the March version, further truncating the text because of concerns about "wordiness." Since you basically supported my Bonacci case revision, and since I could agree with many of P. & W.'s concerns about wordiness, I carefully edited my revision of the Bonacci case and incorporated most of P. & W.'s suggested changes. P. & W. reverted wholesale, then you reverted his changes...and the war leaves us back at the beginning.
- I do feel my last revision of the Bonacci case was a good-faith attempt to honor everyone's concerns. You asked me to include in full the last sentence of the third paragraph, and P. & W. asked for his more concise language, which I incorporated. My reasons for submitting a new version of the Bonacci case are clearly detailed above.
- On February 1, 1991, former Nebraska State Senator John DeCamp filed a civil suit on behalf of Paul Bonacci. The suit named Lawrence King, the Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha, the Omaha World-Herald, retired Omaha World-Herald publisher Harold W. Andersen, the Omaha School District, former Omaha Police Chief Robert Wadham, and others. The Bonacci suit alleged that King and the other named defendants had forced Bonacci to participate in a child-prostitution ring that involved satanic rituals and orgies with other boys and girls. Bonacci claimed that the defendants abused him sexually, or were responsible for abusing him, which caused him permanent harm.
- Senior U.S. District Judge Warren Urbom of the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska in Omaha removed the diocese from the lawsuit, ruling that the archdiocese could not be expected to "know what individual priests had been doing" in Boys Town, and an appeal against the removal failed. The other named defendants were cleared, leaving only King to stand trial.[13]
- At the time of the civil trial, King was still in prison serving time for embezzlement. He was served a court summons, however he never responded to Bonacci's allegations. Judge Urbom said, "There is no indication he (King) wanted to dispute this."
- On February 4, 1999, Judge Urbom awarded Bonacci a default judgment of $800,000 in compensatory damages and $200,000 in punitive damages. The judge declined to consider the merits of the petitioner's allegations, however he ruled that the failure of King's attorney to respond to the charges "has made those allegations true as to him." Urbom said he determined the amount of the damages based on Bonacci's allegations that King had sexually abused him and caused him permanent harm.[14][13][15][16]
- An appeal of the default judgment was filed, however it was dropped in January 2000. King was released from prison April 10, 2001.[17]
- I do not understand why we are back to square one having made no progress whatever. I respect your desire to achieve consensus. It is obvious that P. & W. has no desire to achieve consensus or even to work collaboratively to improve the article--his attitude is "my way or the highway." and his abusive language adds insult to injury.

Line of succession to the throne of Baden[edit]
I'm not sure how this works, but.... If this was at AfD, I would say merge with List of rulers of Baden and redirect. The position was held for 800 years and as with other defunct titles, a line of succession is in there somewhere. I'd just merge people 1-4 and not the rest. I'm not sure how this works. Do I have to remove the Prod tag or can just merge and redirect? Bgwhite (talk) 07:49, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
AR, briefly[edit]
We've been having a (peaceful) marathon discussion about what to title the Homosexuality section, after I pointed out that WP:MOSHEAD deprecated repeated mention of the Article title in each header (previously it was Aesthetic Realism and Homosexuality). We've got a list of about 15 different options ranging from the very brief (Homosexuality) to the very detailed (Approach to homosexuality, assertions of "change" from homosexual to heterosexual, and controversy) and everything in between (Homosexuality conversion therapy). I'm curious if you have a preference--whether or not you want to chime in at the page--I'm pretty sure your opinion is highly respected there. The article is fairly well balanced, although it still appears that many sources from the subpages didn't make it in. Cheers, Ocaasi c 07:50, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Deepak Chopra talk page deletion[edit]
Is this an appropriate deletion in your opinion?[9] It seems to me that striking the offensive comment might be in order but not sure the whole thing should be deleted. Any thoughts?-- — Keithbob • Talk • 19:02, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Thank you[edit]
Thank you for the barnstar. TFD (talk) 13:42, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
For Clarity...[edit]
The POV'd remarks I was referring to were Rumiton's, not The Register's. I did not find the Cade Metz articles to be as described by Rumiton either. If you think my comment was unclear, I will look into revising it. I wouldn't want to leave people with the impression that I agreed with R's statements there. -- Maelefique (talk) 17:47, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
red hair[edit]
Someone is accusing me of vandalising the red hair page (see my personal page), when all i did was add ancient sources. Anglo Pyramidologist (talk) 00:19, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Claremont Independent[edit]
The Claremont Independent page should be preserved if the Dartmouth Review pages or Stanford review pages are to continue to exist. It has produced a number of journalists and its reporters have gone on to do interesting things like write for the Wall Street Journal. It's not a PR, thing, in other words. Could you please remove deletion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heinleinscat (talk • contribs) 01:32, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello Will, there is some problem with regards to this image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fleury_-_Rosalie.jpg where the image does not change even though the file has been replaced. Could you please find out what's wrong, and more importantly, the old versions breach copyright. It'd be preferable to remove the history altogether (so that someone can't revert it to the copyright-breaching version) and re-insert the new version. If necessary, you could delete the entire page, and I'll upload the new image that is permissible to use. Thanks. Kfodderst (talk) 08:56, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, it's working now. In any case, could you please remove the history of the image's page, so that the copyright-breaching image cannot be retrieved? Thanks. Kfodderst (talk) 08:57, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Three Revert Rule[edit]
With his multiple reversions today of the Franklin article, I believe editor Phoenix and Winslow may be in violation of the Three Revert Rule. Could someone more familiar with its function please check. Thank you. Apostle12 (talk) 21:52, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Amway/Amway Global merge[edit]
Hello, you seem to be the most expert editor on the Amway article. I'm wondering why that article has not been merged with Amway Global, which has basically the same information but a better structure? What do you recommend for improving either or both of these articles?Octopet (talk) 19:33, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
Re: Occidental article[edit]
Will, thanks for your contributions over at Occidental College. I'm not trying to be a jerk over there or on the other articles that I'm editing right now, but it is very important that we try to keep the Project NPOV and stay away from articles that are simply advertisements. This one in particular has had multiple issues for some time now, and my hope is that the original author, alumni, faculty, and the community in general can take another look at this one and get it cleaned up properly, instead of throwing out random un/mis-sourced "RAH! RAH!" statements. Thanks again! SeanNovack (talk) 21:38, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

How can i add a tag that questions the accuracy (not just the neutrality) of the page related to me? It is an absolute abomination and I will not stop until it is fixed.

What now?[edit]
A couple of days ago, Wayne suggested that we follow your suggestion and work on the Franklin Coverup article section by section, attempting to engage Phoenix and Winslow in discussion on the article's talk page. We have begun to work on the lede and on the section titled "Franklin Committee final report," the latter in response to Phoenix and Winslow's unsupported assertion that the Franklin Committee agreed that "a carefully crafted" hoax was valid. We have repeatedly invited Phoenix and Winslow to join in our discussion. However he refuses, saying his time is valuable and he doesn't want to waste it talking to the likes of us. He continues disruptive editing and refuses to discuss the merits of the article. Today, Phoenix and Winslow posted the following on Wayne's talk page:
- Wayne, it is with deep regret that I must bring this to your attention. I have learned that in addition to your POV-pushing for conspiracy theories at Franklin child prostitution ring allegations, you've also been POV-pushing for years at a series of articles on the 9/11 terrorist attacks. And at those articles, you again took the side of conspiracy theorists.
- I'm going to conduct a complete investigation of your entire editing history, contact any other editors who may have additional information, and start an RfC that focuses specifically on your conduct over the past few years. My only goal is to protect the Wikipedia project and prevent it from becoming another version of Executive Intelligence Review.
- I assure you that it is not my intention to harm or humiliate you in any way. Regretfully, that probably will become an unavoidable side effect in the proceedings. I encourage you to STOP IMMEDIATELY, review your behavior, and ask yourself what the community will most likely do when presented with an inventory of your behavior here. I will recommend a lifetime topic ban on all articles where conspiracy theories are presented, enforceable with blocks by any administrator.
- Please review and modify your behavior immediately, and make this unpleasant action unnecessary.
Frankly, this is unprecedented in my five-year experience with Wikipedia. I have no idea what we should do next. Phoenix and Winslow simply asserts ownership, refuses to discuss the article, and now makes not-so-veiled threats. What should we do?Apostle12 (talk) 22:03, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Protection again?[edit]
What do you think of requesting protection again for all of the articles related to Greg Mortenson? Lhb1239 (talk) 21:15, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Asking other editors to keep an eye on it is a good idea. I just don't want it to get too out of hand to where it becomes unwieldy (I watched that happen with the Tucson Giffords-shooting article). After having recently read the policy of reverting (3RR and all that), I'm trying to just keep myself at 1 revert so as to avoid providing the means of temptation for others to start edit-warring. I realize that what I edit may be reverted or changed, and I'm perfectly okay with that. I also get that I will make bad calls when trying to "edit boldly" and appreciate any advice or direction I can get from experienced long time editors such as yourself. Thanks for the feeback. Lhb1239 (talk) 21:30, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Hopefully I didn't over-reach, but I placed a warning template on the talk page of User:Lgmagone here. Apparently, this user is the IP who has been reverting (and just skirting the edge of edit warring over) the same info. If that is the case, then he has also broken the 3RR rule. I don't want to revert the info again so I won't be guilty of edit warring. Just letting you know since you are the only administrator I've seen who has been involved in this article. Lhb1239 (talk) 16:10, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply on my talkpage. Isn't it against policy to switch back and forth from being an IP user to being a registered user? Lgmagone edited as an IP again early this morning at Mortenson here. I know you don't want editors speculating on why other editors are editing the way they do, but it seems to me that this is user is working very hard to make a point about Greg Mortenson in a vendetta- or revenge-like fashion. It's natural for people to be upset at Mortenson after the 60 Minutes piece on him. I imagine a number of people feel duped for believing in him and his cause. But when editing an article in Wikipedia (especially a BLP article) one needs to check their feelings and emotions at the door, correct? I just get the feeling from Lgmagone's edits (both as a registered user and an IP) that he's letting his feelings about Mortenson get in the way. Add to that the evidence that he thinks his way of editing the article is "neutral" (when it doesn't seem neutral but more along the lines of WP:POINT if you look at the edit summaries he provides), and I just don't think he's going to try to work together with the rest of us. Is it possible/appropriate for you as an administrator to give him some kind of reminder about policy? Sorry to bug you with this, but my gut is telling me it's all going to get worse before it gets better. Thanks, Lhb1239 (talk) 18:57, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Proposal in Sathya Sai Baba talk page[edit]
Hi Will.
- I updated my input in the Sathya Sai Baba talk page. I have been working in this article for years and got it to this point where its balanced, well written and reliably sourced. Every section has been discussed several time in almost every wikipedia forum.
- Regarding the proposal, I always believe in productive discussion and coming to agreable terms with other editors than just edit warring. All of our goals I think is to present an encyclopedic content. I am strongly against giving too much importance to this one incident which happened a decade ago.
- I don't see why it should be duplicated when there's a dedicated article explaining it. It was moved out after consensus from other editors that it did not make sense to keep in the Biography and was given a dedicated article.
Though you are an administration and may have more permissions than users like me yet I hope you will respect the fact I have been working in the article for years with other editors. I know every source related to this. As I said before the details were removed to a dedicated article only after consensus from every one that we don't want to give undue weightage to this 1 incident where there's no proof that Sathya Sai Baba was even involved? I am going to link to the Main article and treat it just like how other main articles are treated in that page. Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 18:56, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- I added the reply in the talk page. Thanks Radiantenergy (talk) 20:59, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- If you want I can add the proposed text with the references or if you want go ahead and add it under Life and subsection "Later activities" section. Thanks. Radiantenergy (talk) 21:58, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, am I missing something the content appears t have been removed leaving only a link to the main article without any content at all? Is that the agreed position? Off2riorob (talk) 21:39, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

James Eric Davidson[edit]
Hi there. You contributed to an AFD discussion of this article back in 2008. The discussion ended in 'no consensus', but I think the subject is non-notable and have renominated it for deletion. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Eric Davidson (2nd nomination). Robofish (talk) 00:15, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm growing tired of LHB1239's rants on the dicussion page about Greg Mortenson. For example, he writes "One more thing I would like to point out, Nowa, is that your response to Lgmagone seemed more like you were interested in making him happy, rather than making sure the article was NPOV, non-weighty, encyclopedic, and adhering to BLP standards." I think this is a uncalled for personal attack and one that I've grown tired of.
It's not just me...you've called him on personal attacks and rants earlier on the discussion page as well. Is there a warning that can be issued?
I added a 3R flag to his talk page because he reverted five or six changes in one day - but he deleted it saying it was in error. Lgmagone (talk) 03:30, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Possible sock[edit]
I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that this edit by this user was done by a sock. I will let you figure out who it might be based on recent events in an article I have been heavily involved in over the last few of days. Could be worth keeping an eye on. Lhb1239 (talk) 04:39, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. No, I don't think that one minor edit warrants action, I'm just thinking it should be watched. I found it strange that after all of the hoopla and accusations there would be an edit to the very section last disputed by a brand new editor. I mean, of all things for someone to edit -- well, to me it just seemed weird and I got a "gut" feeling from it. I hope I'm wrong. Lhb1239 (talk) 05:32, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Edit Warring at Greg Mortenson[edit]
He's back to edit warring again and this time (with this edit summary) he seems to be getting a kick out of it. I've left an edit warring warning on his page -- as retaliation, he has now left one on mine. I'm done for the night with it and leave it up to you to do anything if you feel it's warranted. Lhb1239 (talk) 06:05, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
- LHB1239, uh, I added some information and you reverted it simply because you didn't like the content being there. It was sourced information that has reliable sources to back it up and it was factual information. There is no reason not to include it in the Wikipedia article. I made some modifications to add clarity, and you reverted them.
- None of these changes were malicious, changed the point of view, or caused other issues. Will or any other administrator is more than welcome to review them, but I do not think that anybody will find them to be disruptive or otherwise go against the philosophy of wikipedia.
- Beyond me, you also reverted edits that Nowa made earlier. You've engaged in your fare share of reverting edits as well. Additionally, you've accused another editor Sharker1812 of being a sock puppet because he made an edit to the wiki article, even though his edit was minor in nature.
- From what I can see, it looks like any editor besides yourself is at risk of getting accused of edit warring, being a sock puppet, or making unnecessary changes. Lgmagone (talk) 09:04, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
I see you've requested that I take a break from wikipedia. OK. Lgmagone (talk) 09:16, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Douglas Kmiec[edit]
You requested some citations beyond Malta, here are some:
CNN and the LATimes seem to have done the most digging. CBS (KNX) radio reported on the subject.
You are right, it is not about Obama, however, the two are interrelated, of course, and that is an important aspect of the story that is fact-based: namely, how a campaign advisor for the President who was once listed by CNN as one of the President's top religion and cultural advisors (fact) comes to find himself disparaged for expressing his faith beliefs in a noncoercive way and for doing the work envisioned by the President as announced at the State Department,
yet, the President fails to act. Opponents of Obama call this being thrown under the bus.
I resist that speculation both because I do not believe it to be true, but also because it effectively creates a division between myself and the President, which may make me individually popular in the present circumstance, but deny the US the benefit of my efforts to improve relations between nations and not just between myself and the host country President or Prime Minister;
Having known the President from the campaign to be a person of honesty and integrity and having watched him struggle with even speaking out with respect to Rev. Wright, and then, doing that only reluctantly when Wright went on a lecture tour against candidate Obama, his silence in this case is not in him:
- taking credit for an appointment that the local host country finds to be very strong from the standpoint of bilateral, international diplomacy -- a matter of some importance anytime, but especially important given the need to have an honest broker nearby the Arab spring in Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, etc;
- taking credit for making good on his Cairo promise to pursue mutual understanding of different faith traditions which is what this Ambassador tries to stress/do every day;
- rescuing a friend from the clutches of bureacratic inertia or hostility:
it's a win, win, win. Not to act or say nothing is the opposite.

Thank you for your helpful feedback on my addition to JQA. I am working on a Wikipedia assignment for a class but did not mean to negatively alter an established page.

Franklin case: Endless attacks, becoming more and more irrational[edit]
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard&action=edit§ion=13 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Franklin_child_prostitution_ring_allegations corr. link, per WP:RTP (technical)— DennisDallas (talk) 15:21, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Phoenix and Winslow's last post on Wikipedia: Fringe theories was the following:
- Yes, the two of you have buried the thread under such a mountain of details that nobody who's uninvolved wants to become involved. It's just too much work for uninvolved editors like Paul B to dig you out of your entrenchment. And it's the same tactic that has worked so well for you previously. But now that MONGO has become involved with the article, his experience with your personal WP:FRINGE history at the 9/11 articles and his presence in Omaha should prove very useful. Two against one wasn't consensus; two against two definitely won't be consensus. Phoenix and Winslow (talk) 10:35, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
I wrote a conciliatory note and received no response:
- My intent has never been to obfuscate, and I have seen no indication that WLRoss intends that either; there is no "tactic" involved here, and it is not necessary or appropriate to frame this as a war. Why don't we discuss the article, section-by-section and point-by-point so we can arrive at appropriate compromises in language and content? The goal is to present the topic so that readers can understand the Franklin case. Apostle12 (talk) 17:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
I posted a new section "Fresh Start Two" on the article discussion page requesting that we begin with discussion of the lede, however it seems obvious, at least at this point, that everything possible will be done to prevent meaningful discussion.
A week ago Mongo requested that the article be locked for a week, then a couple of days ago he threatened to re-write the entire article during the period when it was locked. I strongly suspect that Phoenix and Winslow is privately collaborating with Mongo to write the alternate article and that it will appear tomorrow when the article is unlocked.
My question is: If these two editors re-write the article on their own, then substitute the alternate article without consultation with the other editors, and if they refuse to engage in meaningful discussion--what should we do? Given the history, I see only two choices:
- -Leave the alternate article alone.
- -Revert to the article as it has been written by many editors over several years.
Edit warring, back and forth, seems unproductive.
Honestly, Will, I have no idea how to solve this. We are not supposed to "edit war," but this sort of highjacking seems quite wrong. Can you help? Apostle12 (talk) 15:11, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
I note that as of early this morning, Lgmagone did not follow-through with his agreement to stop editing the Mortenson article for three days. Just sayin'. Lhb1239 (talk) 16:14, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
- LHB, I stopped all editing on all articles and discussion pages regarding Greg Mortenson and his book, as requested by Will. I noticed on April 29th around 7:10 UTC, you startedt posting in the Greg Mortenson discussion page. Four hours after you made your edits, I made a few changes of my own, this time to the article page. I don't understand how you feel it is reasonable to start editing at 7 am but unreasonable for me to add an edit at 11:45 am.
- Regardless, the edits that I made were backed up by reliable sources, written from a neutral point of view, and were not disruptive. There is no reason that any of the edits go against any guideline or policy of anything in Wikipedia. The simple fact that you want the article to be only positive is not justification for calling the edits that I am making bad. Lgmagone (talk) 10:01, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
- What I understood from Will's request was that we stop editing the article. I didn't think he meant the talk page was off limits too. Regardless, you understood him to mean both the talk page and the article. When you saw me making comments on the talk page that was a signal for you to start editing the article in violation of the request of an administrator? You do understand the power that administrators have here, don't you? If Will meant for me to stay away from the talk page as well as the article, then this is just me innocently misunderstanding. You blatantly disregarded his instructions. There's a big difference. But, it's up to Will to do something (if anything) about it not me. Lhb1239 (talk) 14:46, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
- It was a suggestion, not a requirement. I followed it until I saw that you were chiming in again, then decided that the break period was over. But honestly, I think you are trying to pull any strings possible to get an opposing view blocked from editing the Mortenson article, and I don't think you'll be successful. Lgmagone (talk) 14:52, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

U.S. Regulator Says Taxpayers Still at Risk From Fannie, Freddie
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage companies operating under U.S. control, are improving their financial condition but remain a risk to taxpayers, the companies' regulator reported.
In its third annual report to Congress released today, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said improved underwriting on the loans that the companies package into mortgage-backed securities helped slow the agencies' losses to $28 billion in 2010, from $93.6 billion a year earlier.
"Although past business decisions leading to these losses cannot be undone, each enterprise, under the oversight and guidance of FHFA as conservator and regulator, has improved underwriting standards for loan purchases in the past two years," Edward DeMarco, acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said in the report.
Still, DeMarco said, the companies "remain critical supervisory concerns," largely because of a backlog of bad loans originated from 2005 to 2007.
The government-run enterprises, which own or guarantee more than half of the $10 trillion U.S. mortgage market, operated as private companies before they were taken into government conservatorship in September 2008 after soaring losses linked to subprime home loans. Since then, Washington-based Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac of McLean, Virginia, have survived on a promise of unlimited U.S. aid and drawn more than $160 billion in Treasury Department funding.
Freddie Mac in May posted a $676 million profit for the three months that ended March 31 before paying a $1.6 billion quarterly dividend to the Treasury. Fannie Mae reported a $6.5 billion loss in the first quarter and sought $8.5 billion in aid.
Preventing Foreclosures
While the management of both companies is focused on minimizing losses to taxpayers, the two GSEs are also under a mandate to help prevent home foreclosures. Together, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac completed 950,000 loan modifications or other alternatives to foreclosure for homeowners delinquent on their mortgage payments, the report said.
The Treasury and Republicans in Congress have proposed ways to phase out the companies and the government guarantee of their bonds.
The two enterprises guaranteed 70 percent of the single-family mortgage-backed securities issued in 2010, an amount the report described as "not optimal."
"The enterprises cannot remain in conservatorship permanently, and expanding private sector capital and participation is essential for the long-term health of the mortgage market," the report said.
The FHFA, which also oversees the nation's 12 Federal Home Loan Banks, said in the report that all of those banks reported positive earnings for 2010.

Ok so I've been flying through these challenges and I got stuck on Bane of Bolas, I tried for about an hour to solve it on my own but in the end I came here for a guide. "how is it broken?" your asking, well I ask you this 'how did I win after I discarded 3 cards at the beginning of his upkeep? He has 1HP left and enough monsters to kick my ass on his next turn. I thought this was meant to be a 'challenge' that would teach us advanced tricks so what the hell was the lesson for this challenge? Like I said I had to look up a guide so I may have overlooked something, but the answer to this challenge is obscure at best and a headf*ck IMO.

Release Date:
June 10, 2008
The soundtrack to the @Nickelodeon series iCarly is a curious hybrid of original music from the series and contemporary pop hits, sometimes presented in censored versions -- Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls" gets a lyric change for its "@Nickelodeon Mix," Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" gets a whole verse lopped off -- to make them better fit the preteen vibe of the show. This combination of iCarly originals and real world pop tunes has a dual purpose: it fills out a soundtrack that couldn't exist just on original music (as there is just not enough ready) and provides a soft launch for the musical career of star Miranda Cosgrove, who proves herself to be an appealingly spunky singer. It helps that she has a pair of good tunes in "Stay My Baby" and "About You Now," fizzy pop just about on the level of the Naked Brothers Band (a fellow @Nick act who has a cut here), as they make the most of her girlish talents, but the focus isn't really on her: there are so many cuts from the likes of Good Charlotte, Natasha Bedingfield, Tiffany Evans with Bow Wow, and the deathless Menudo that she doesn't really stand out but rather blends in the mix, which is really the ultimate goal of the soundtrack anyway. Really, the only annoyances are the endless sketches, placed between every single track on the album -- something that is bound to delight young fans of the show but will irritate anybody older than 13. Thankfully, that's the only irritating thing about this otherwise fun soundtrack. [iCarly was also released in a Deluxe Fan Pack edition including bonus tracks.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Zach's end goal for this project is to build a touch-screen table for use as an interactive map display during pen-and-paper role playing games similar to the SurfaceScapes project at Carnegie Mellon.
What we presented at the Atlanta Mini Maker Faire on 9/10/2011 was a successful Proof of Concept (POC) of the hardware side using a 17 year old (!) 42" rear project TV ($100, Craigslist), four infrared lasers with beam splitters ($70, Peau Productions), two sheets of Plexiglas ($30 each, Home Depot), a modified PlayStation Eye camera with Infrared Pass Filter ($80, Peau Productions), a sheet of Mylar ($6, Local Art Store), and about $10 worth of miscellaneous nuts and bolts.
Build Team:
- Zach (bstrdsmkr)
- Doug (Laz)
- Sam (samthegiant)
- Selena
Over the course of the last ten weeks the team has met at least one night a week after work in Doug's garage to work on the project over five major phases.
- Phase One: Basic woodworking - one of the first challenges for the team was simply to get the heavy old TV flipped onto it's back and up to a height suitable for use as a table. After some basic dis-assembly we had the old frame stripped down to it's minimum support structure and were able to us some of the existing cabinetry to add in a simple box frame of 1"x8" planks with 4"x4" posts carriage bolted to the frame for legs.
- Phase Two: Infrared LEDs Once we had an established work surface we needed to address our infrared source. Our first concept was to illuminate the underside of the surface with infrared LEDs scavenged from an exterior infrared security light for security cameras. (See image below.) These LEDs were designed with narrow beam angles and long throw in mind and were too bright as point sources for our camera setup to tolerate and caused reflections off of the bottom of the screen that overwhelmed the signal from any interaction with the surface. At first we tried using the whole lamp, but even after pulling individual LEDs and wiring them separately they were still just too bright.
- Phase Three: Converting the screen - The screens for these old TVs are combined from a Fresnel Lens and a Lenticular Lens, this combination optimized the image for small viewing angles but was not well suited for our purposes as a table surface. We replaced these components with two layers of Plexiglass with a layer of Mylar sandwiched between for projecting the image on.
- Phase Four: Infrared frickin' Lasers - Since the original LED illumination concept was not feasible on our time-scale (We were only two weeks away from the Maker Faire when we abandoned this approach.), we researched a secondary option and purchased four infrared lasers with beam spreaders to create a plane of infrared light just above the screen surface. This provided a very strong signal for the camera mounted under the surface and pointing down at the mirror. This approach did have the disadvantage of requiring that the lasers had to be aligned to the surface evenly which required modifications to the frame. (And while writing this up we learned we really need to learn to take better pictures of our build process because we have no images for this or the next phase of the project.)
- Phase Five: Software - One item of particular importance for us to stress was that this approach relied on image processing instead of any actual touch feedback. The modified PlayStation Eye camera with Infrared Pass Filter we used was looking for the reflected infrared light from our fingers, so the image processing software running on a laptop would take input from our camera and close the loop between the "touch" and the output to the TV projector. We used the excellent Community Core Vision software. This software took the input from our camera and used a series of filters to eliminate noise, enhance signal, and then identify our "touch" interactions with the surface. (This software also would have allowed us to interface with Flash applications, but at this point in our build it was 5:30 PM on the day the before the Faire and it was time to pack-up and get moving down to Atlanta, so we did no actual software modification for this presentation.)
(In the picture below you can see us using dowel pins to connect the framing material.)
(In this picture you cab see the legs attached to the newly added framing with carriage bolts.)
Trip down to Atlanta and presentation at the Mini Maker Faire - Setting up bright and early Saturday morning we learned the most important lesson of the day, if you are going to demo an infrared based system, don't try and show it off outside. We immediately split into groups, one to finish setup and the other to make a mad dash for tarps to cover and surround our display tent.
We also found tarps to be indispensable for blocking out as much sunlight as possible for accurate calibration.
We were overwhelmed by the attention that our project received.
Unfortunately, the inexpensive nature of one of our primary components became a severe drawback. (The 17 year old $100 Craigslist TV projector died about four hours into the Faire.) We gave it a most glorious sendoff into a campus dumpster right before heading home.
Lessons Learned:
We learned a lot during this build and presentation including:
- Presenting an infrared detection based system outside is a bad idea. Even under a tent covered with and surrounded by reflective tarps we experienced an amazing number of false signals that made everything other than our simplest calibration software go hay-wire.
- We need to make sure to post at least some build note specifics before leaving for a major presentation like this. (I would estimate that the number of people who took snapshots of our dinky little sign or asked about a URL would easily be in the low three digits.)
- We need a Knox Makers sign. (A large one, at least 3'x5')
- We need a Knox Makers logo
- We need Knox Makers business cards and/or flyers to hand out with our information
- We need to prepare a FAQ board and handout sheets for build presentations (How much did the build cost, what components and software were used....)

MACON, France -- Oscar Freire of Spain has pulled out of the Tour de France, organizers said Friday.
The Rabobank rider, who won the fifth and ninth stages in this year's race, failed to start the 18th stage over 193 kilometers from Morzine to Macon.
Freire was second in the points classification for the best sprinter, 45 points behind Australia's Robbie McEwen.
Six-time green jersey winner Erik Zabel of Germany is now second, 80 points behind McEwen.

Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Ashley Foxxx\'s tempting looks are relegated to the back cover ? perhaps you\'d do better by facing that side out.
Ashely Foxxx cops two scenes in this mild ethnic quickie, which smacks of assembly-line attitude from first frame to last. It's a shame, because those cum-hither eyes and trim bod are just begging for the right kind of stud to release her inhibitions. Unfortunately, that guy could very well be Wesley Pipes, the jive-talkin' owner of a massive horsedick - which is thoroughly wasted on his near-comatose partner Diamond Pipes (no relation).
Another sequence with overexposed videography is hindered by layering on some kind of saturated video effect, somewhat like slathering a stale cake with fresh icing. Let them eat cock.

S&P Retakes 1200; Dow Up 143.22
Stocks bounced back with a vengeance as rising auto sales, consumer spending and manufacturing activity were seen as increasing evidence of a strengthening economy.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 143.22 points, or 1.3%, to 11151.83, wiping out 90% of its 159-point drop on Friday. Blue chips posted their biggest gain since Feb. 16 in both point and percentage terms, led by economically sensitive components Caterpillar and Boeing, which each rose 2.7%.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index reclaimed the 1200 level, climbing 1.3% to 1202. The industrial sector was boosted by a report from the Institute for Supply Management showing April was the U.S. factory sector's strongest month in almost six years. The measure's consumer-discretionary rose on a Commerce Department report showing consumers cut their savings and increased spending in March.
Further lifting sentiment, Ford Motor and General Motors reported gains in sales of cars and light trucks in April that reflect continuing improvement for the auto industry after one of its toughest years ever.
The Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.5%, boosted by a 2% rise in Apple. The company said iPad sales topped one million Friday, after 28 days on the market.
The gains came as an overhang of worry about the euro zone softened after Greece agreed to a €110 billion ($146.5 billion) bailout from euro-zone countries and the International Monetary Fund in return for stringent budget cuts.
Analysts said the market seemed poised for a rebound after Friday's steep selloff.
"It appears that the Greek bailout situation is a positive, but it seems to me that the market wakes up in the morning poised to go up, barring anything to the contrary, so a little bit of good news goes a long way," said Julius Ridgway, investment advisor at Medley & Brown.
Crude-oil futures briefly topped $87 a barrel, setting an 18-month high, before closing above $86 a barrel. Oil prices were also supported by fears about the potential effect of a spill from the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.
The dollar was strong too, deviating from the inverse relationship typically seen between the dollar and the price of oil. The ICE Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a trade-weighted basket of currencies, was at 82.318, up from 81.831.
Treasury prices fell, pushing the yield on the 10-year note up to 3.70%. Gold futures rose to their highest settle since Dec. 3, 2009.
Among stocks in focus, Continental Airlines rose 2.2% and United Airlines parent UAL jumped 2.4% after the airlines confirmed an all-stock tie-up to form the world's biggest air carrier, surpassing Delta Air Lines.
Alcoa fell 2.3% as materials stocks were weighed down by the People's Bank of China's move to raise its reserve-requirement ratio. Investors fretted that China's moves to cool a growing economy could hurt companies with significant operations selling building materials and other products to China.

So I "lied" when I said wed or thurs I would do my 10mi I AM SICK uugghh....normally I will run even if feeling under the weather...i remember one time last year I was congested and had a temp of 101 and said I was going to run just 3 mi to keep my days on track and I ended up running 9mi that day and felt great and by the time I was done my sinuses were clear (snot rockets along the way emabrassed to admit) and fever was gone felt EXCELLENT...thought about sweatinging it out again but the cough and burning in my chest with just walking briskly is not fun and though it may mean I will not hit my goal next week at the 1/2 I will at least be feeling good enough to run it by allowing myself to rest the last few days, hoping tomorrow AM to get a short run in and then next week leading up to the race just 5mi MWF.

Surfcam, I'd gladly take that win! My new race strategy is to enter the weakest age category I can find!
I can't imagine dealing with 90 degree weather already. I think the reason we have so many runners around here is the climate--our average high temp in July is 68 degrees.
I thought I'd wimp out on my run tonight--it was pouring rain, and my son has a big project he needed help with. My running buddy called in desperate need of a quick run, so we did a quick 30 minute run with a couple good hills--enough to feel the burn and work out some of the stress of the week. We're running a 5K in Portland on Sunday--my second race ever.
I may not be good, but I'm slow!
Last run was the Jonquil City Jog (Smyrna, GA), 5k. I ran it in 31:10. I'm so ready to get back to where I'm completing my 5k's in under 30 mins. I have to be more consistent with my running.
2015 Highlights:
Great post...as I sit here on Friday evening listening to Led Zeppelin's Fool in the Rain and reading the post. Great song with a running theme at the end.
My last run was yesterday about 1/10th of a mile down the street after an hour long bike ride. I'm trying to recover a sour knee that decided to start hurting in mid March on a 10 mile casual barefoot (Vibram Five Fingers) run around the neighborhood. Problem wasn't the barefoot running as I've ran barefoot many times before but probably can't rule out that I had just overdone it. In early March I did 44 miles of a 50 mile trail run before severe weather forced the organizer to cancel the event:(. My first time knee injury but seems to be on the mend.
I had never tried trail running before and ran most of the distance with wet, mud-filled shoes. Prior to that my entire training effort was on pavement and sidewalks (some of which could be classed as a trail). Enjoyed the trail run though and plan to do that distance or longer again, trail or pavement.
Cheers ORcoastrunner!!! I was happy to win it. Almost got first overall because most of the 10k runners turned too early and were DQ'ed. Not very organized race. Oh well, I'll have to keep it on the books though.
Yes, the hot weather is a bit of a bummer, but we get used to it. To a degree. Just have to alter schedules to run before the sun is up! It is still a bit cool today, which will be nice for a fun run, swim-run-swim race I'm in this morning.
Good luck on your 5k tomorrow! Keep it up!

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Ran a race called the Sylvan Shuffle 5k this morning. My goal was 27:00 or 27:30, depending on the day someone would ask me, but I finished at 27:47. Didn't hit my goal but it was good enough to barely set a PR as an adult and to get me my first running award - 3rd place in the 30-39 age group. Admittedly, this time would not normally win anything, but I'll take it. There were lots of 20 somethings and lots of 40 somethings, but apparently there wasn't much competition in the 30s. So, here is my first award of (hopefully) many to come as I keep up my running career:

Good run this morning! I ran 12 miles (a new PR!). Only 2 things bothered me: My feet really hurt, and my pace was way off! On my long runs, I'm not running against the clock, and I try to conserve energy so I can finish, but my 9 mile pace was over a minute per mile faster than today's run. I have no idea why I was so slow today. As to the feet, I imagine as I gain strength in the feet, I'll have less pain.

Rick, my Sunday morning run was the most painful, arduous excercize I've had in a long, long time. I have no idea why, but every step seemed to bring me more discomfort. Last Thursday's 4 miles were all sweet and my feet handled the pavement as usual, that is to say, just fine. This morning was some combination of colder and wetter, and just hurt. I didn't even have to look at my watch to know that it was pretty damn slow, too.
Still, when I finished and was cooling down in my driveway, I was glad I'd gone out and done it. A bad run is usually better than staying in bed...at least when one's alone.

My last run was ROUGH! I struggled to finish 4.5 miles. I felt like I was dragging 50 lbs behind me.
Granted, I took in one too many handfuls of trail mix before running and I don't think I drank enough water. So on top of just feeling slow, I developed some tummy cramps that spread to my chest and shoulders. I had to take a walk break around mile 2 before finishing up my run. My head was in the run, but my clothing and my nathan running belt were not working with me today either. I'm happy I got in the miles, but I'm not satisfied with my performance.

I am with Dreamstate! ROUGH! I wanted to build on yesterday's small success, and did end up getting in the 3 miles I hoped for but lots of walk breaks today. Heat up to 88 degrees with 70% humidity.

I have an issue where WP seems to insert \ in front of any " or ' characters. It does not do this on the posts or pages but it does do it when I receive an e-mail from my contact form (GPixel-Contact plugin).
This isn't so bad but I have also integrated a forum into my WP site. Any posts in the forum also have a \ placed in front of any quotations.
Why does WP do this? Is there any way to turn this off or does it serve some purpose?

Colour: Rich, shadowy dark amber as if glistening from a subterranean Gothic fire. Nose: Drifting incense held in the evening air, exotic spices, jasmine, anise and sandalwood dance and leap out of the glass - promising somethingPalate Full bodied, boisterous and sweet with a darkly sinister menace, rich velvet curtains surround dark chocolate, eucalyptus, cracked black pepper and drying mint whilst dancing with rich full sherry sweetness and toffee. Waves of flavor and texture envelop your tongue, powerfully tantalizing and teasing your taste buds.Finish Lingering, long, rich, sweet yet spicy. Truly full-bodied whisky with which to face Auld Nick himself. A maleficent dram!

The measure, which passed with no votes to spare, marks the first time that a legislative body in the United States has approved a bill that legalizes gay marriage. Schwarzenegger has not taken an official position on the legislation but has hinted that he would veto it.

With all of the excitement over Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Italian wedding, it would be easy to overlook Scott Disick's birthday.
But Khloé Kardashian made sure that her sister Kourtney's boyfriend, 31, was not forgotten, lightheartedly posting to Instagram side-by-side mugshots of herself and Disick (whom she refers to as LD – Lord Disick).
"Happy birthday to my partner in crime @letthelordbewithyou I love you LD!!" she wrote.
Each mugshot was from a past DUI incident. Kardashian served less than three hours of her 30-day sentence for a DUI in 2008, and Disick was arrested in 2001 for driving while intoxicated in Riverhead, New York.
