Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: Stanley
Project Title: Cardiac Energy Metabolism in Heart Failure
Abstract: This Program Project Grant addresses the metabolic mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF), and aims to identify novel metabolic approaches to prevent and treat HF. The consequences of metabolic dysfunction in HF are poorly understood, but there is strong evidence that energy metabolism can effect contractile function and progressive left ventricular remodeling. This translational research project uses sophisticated animal models of HF to evaluate novel mechanisms that link various aspects of cardiac metabolism to clinically relevant outcomes. This application will investigate fundamental questions about the pathophysiology of HF, and the effects of manipulating energy metabolism on cardiac function and HF progression. This Program Project is composed of four projects: Project 1: "Impact of Macronutrient Intake in Heart Failure". The effects of dietary fat, protein and carbohydrate composition on progression of HF will be investigated. Project 2: "Heart Rate Control, Myocardial Energetics and Progression of Heart Failure". This project will dissect the role of heart rate in abnormalities of cardiac energetics and progression of LV dilation and dysfunction in HF. Project 3: "Substrate Selection and Oxidative Stress in Heart Failure". Causal relationships will be explored between altered energy substrate metabolism and oxidative stress in HF. Project 4: "Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Heart Failure". This project investigates the molecular mechanisms for the decrease in oxidative phosphorylation found in heart and skeletal muscle mitochondria in HF. In addition, there will be four Cores (Administrative, Large Animal/Histology, Metabolism, and Mitochondria/Mass Spec).

so easy, so much fun! great.
One of the most compelling reasons to use a mac in education. I cannot think of a lesson where children could not use ComicLife.
Got this on a couple of my Macs. It pays to snoop around the apps folders.
Lots of fun. Not something I'd normally buy, but upon trying it, I'd certainly consider it.
Better than just for comics. I can easily see using this for photography and video output (without all the kitsch text bubbles ;-). It's essentially a lightning quick layout manager with iPhoto integration, and some great export features.
Cons: some graphical glitches and dialog corruption, and doesn't handle HUGE libraries smoothly.
For a free bundled app, phenomenal! Probably well worth the price for new features.
INGENIUS! POW! BAM! Meanwhile...
i haven't been this wowed by an app in a long time. so easy, so feature-rich. clever, inventive... i could go on and on.
This came bundled with my MacBook, it is great fun and easy to use. The only thing I can't figure out is if there is any way to publish to a web page - it seems your only option for web publishing is to publish to a .mac account.
This application is great! It came bundled with some apple machines recently. You take your digital pictures (excellent iPhoto integration) and put them into comic book templates. You can then put comic book speech bubbles on those pictures. It's simple and powerful. It allows you to publish web pages based on your comic.
Very fun tool. I wish this and camera phones would have been around when I was in college... man I know a bunch of people who could never run for public office.

Fair Value, Risky Business
Fair-value accounting, in which the assets and liabilities of firms are reflected in financial reports at a price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction — often very close to their market value — has been increasingly popular over the last two decades, particularly in the banking industry. As the use of fair-value accounting has increased, so has criticism of the approach — criticism that has grown acute in the context of the financial crisis as credit markets constricted and formerly liquid assets dried up.
Fair-value accounting bases the reported value of any given asset (or liability) on the current market value of that and similar assets. This means that values move, to a large degree, with the market. At the other end of the accounting spectrum is historical-cost-based accounting, in which asset valuation is based on the asset's historical transaction prices. Disregarding other benefits and detractors of each approach, historical cost is simply not subject to the same sensitivity of day-to-day market variations as fair-value prices are.
When markets become illiquid, fair value can set off a chain reaction: banks are forced to sell their assets at prices far below their fundamental values (the present value of expected future cash flows), and other banks with similar assets can be forced to mark those assets at a lower price. As prices for the asset class drop, the falling prices have the potential to trigger regulatory constraints — such as increased capital requirements — and otherwise interact with internal control mechanisms — such as value-at-risk (VAR) — or managerial incentives, such as how pay levels for executives are set. All the while, prices continue to fall in a vicious downward spiral.
With the rise of fair-value accounting, particularly in the years leading up to the financial crisis, it is natural to ask whether fair value is associated with systemic or system-wide risk in the banking industry. Professor Urooj Khan considers this question in a new paper, and looks for evidence of whether that association contributed to the financial crisis.
Using financial reporting data from bank holding companies, which publicly traded banks are required to file with the Federal Reserve, and security prices from the Center for Research Security Prices (CRSP), Khan looks at how the use of fair value in financial reporting has evolved from 1998 to 2008. The 20-year period coincides with the Basel I Accord, an internationally established set of common capital requirements for banks — allowing Khan to compare the accounting practices of banks operating in the same regulatory environment.
Khan first measures the amount of assets and liabilities reported at fair value, scaled by total assets in the banking industry, to determine the extent to which fair value is used in financial reporting. He then looks at whether bank contagion — spread of market shocks, especially on the downside and observed through co-movements in stock prices — is more common when fair value is in greater use, and finds that it is.
"But this only happens on the downside. I find that when markets are liquid, assets don't seem to get sold below their fundamental value and contagion does not spread, as it does in illiquid markets." In other words, it's not that fair value causes contagion regardless of whether markets are liquid or illiquid but that fair value is more sensitive in bad times than in good times.
Prior research has found that using fair value might be a more timely and relevant approach for investors, but when markets are illiquid, the additional cost associated with fair value is increased contagion in the banking sector. That suggests a rationale for careful interpretation of fair-value financial reporting during periods of market illiquidity.
Khan also found that banks that are poorly capitalized or that have a higher proportion of assets and liabilities reported at fair value are more likely to be affected by the increased bank contagion associated with fair value.
As the financial crisis continued into 2009, some suggested that fair-value accounting rules should be suspended. But many users in many contexts depend on accounting information to inform their decisions. "Maybe the answer is not to suspend fair-value accounting rules but rather to understand the additional cost associated with fair value," he suggests. "So when regulators, banks, and investors are taking into account the costs and benefits of a more fair–value-based regime and assessing what future accounting standards should look like, they should be prepared to consider that at some points in time fair-value accounting may not be conveying the most important information.
"I am not trying to document the superiority of historical cost based accounting or fair value," Khan emphasizes. "I am trying to show there are unintended consequences and costs associated with fair-value accounting."

Jon Embree is out at as Colorado football coach after just two seasons, according to multiple sources close to the program.
The Buffs were 4-21 in Embree's two seasons and this past season went 1-11, the worst year in Colorado football history.
"I can't believe it happened," said linebacker Doug Rippy. "Man, it's crazy. I had no idea. I didn't see it coming at all. I don't think he had enough time to come in and do what he needed to do. Obviously it's the school's decision but I didn't see it coming.
"If you need to change the program around, you need more than two years. He needed people to buy into what he was trying to do."
After the season finale, a 42-35 loss to Utah on Friday, Embree said he had been assured by athletic director Mike Bohn that he would be retained. Embree signed a four-year contract after taking over for Dan Hawkins two years ago. Hawkins went 19-39.
Bohn informed Embree Sunday afternoon of the change and Embree informed his staff of his dismissal.

Inadequacy of simple solutions
Advocates of stiffer gun-control measures always issue forth in strength after a tragedy such as the Dec. 14 Newtown school shootings, and they always make the same mistakes. They imagine a safer society — one with fewer guns and bullets, with most firearms in the hands of police and the military — and go on to imagine such a society could be crafted by means of legislation. With these measures come two parallel certainties: that those most likely to use a gun for criminal or self-destructive purposes will ignore the law; and that the new policies will bring unintended consequences, many of them unpleasant or even unacceptable.
Last week, New York became the first state, post-Newtown, to engage via legislation the dual problem of mental illness and wide availability of firearms. Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the measure Tuesday. Judging by reports Wednesday, Connecticut lawmakers aren't far behind. And it didn't take long for authoritative voices to pass judgment: It won't work.

Malala Yousafzai, Teen Girl Shot by Taliban, Speaks at UN
The Pakistani teenage girl targeted and shot by the Taliban for promoting girls' education delivered a speech at the United Nations Friday urging free compulsory schooling for all children.
"Dear friends, on the 9th of October, 2012, the Taliban shot me on the left side of my forehead. They shot my friends too. They thought that the bullets would silence us, but they failed," Malala Yousafzai said.
"Out of that silence came thousands of voices. The terrorists thought that they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born."
Yousafzai, a vocal supporter of education rights for girls when the Taliban made her a target, advocated access to free schooling for all children in her speech. "Let us pick up our books and our pens. They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world. Education is the only solution. Education first."
Yousafzai gave the speech on Friday, her 16th birthday and what the U.N. has now declared "Malala Day." The event was a gathering of about 500 youth leaders from around the world.
Watch a video of Yousafzai addressing the Youth Assembly at the U.N.

Each week, TheHockeyNews.com counts down the best of the best in a variety of unique categories from the NHL and beyond.
by Rory Boylen - October 17, 2013 9:39 AM UTC
For the most part, these players transcend loyalties and are appreciated around the NHL. It takes a long time to earn this praise, which is probably why only one is younger than 33 – and why this list was more difficult to piece together than a most polarizing or most hated list.
Last week, we put together a collection of the most polarizing players in the NHL. Those guys are both loved and hated by various sectors of fans.

Who went above and beyond in production last season that we can expect to come back some in 2013-14?
In 1994-95, Alexei Zhamnov scored a career high 30 goals. The 65 points he earned would end up as the fourth-most in his 13-year career (with his highest total ever standing at 72).

Looking at players who were surprisingly left off the orientation camp list for their country's Sochi entry.
Most of the Olympic orientation camp rosters are out, which means it's time to form fantasy rosters. That also means it's time to second-guess preliminary rosters based on who was snubbed from the list.

Every year amidst the madness of free agent spending is a sprinkling of shrewd contract signings. Here are a few under the radar players to watch on July 5.
So often, the opening of the "free agent frenzy" is a day to look back on in regret. The day of temptation has the ability to overwhelm the competitive senses of GMs and lead them to raise the pay grade for players above what most of us would consider reasonable or even manageable.

Looking at players who are bouncing back from subpar seasons a year ago.
The last time the NHL played a lockout shortened season, Peter Bondra was coming off a campaign in which he broke his hand and was limited to 69 games and 24 goals.

In honor of Bobby Orr's 65th birthday, we count down the best players to ever wear No. 4 in the NHL.
Bobby Orr burst onto the NHL scene with the Bruins in 1966-67 and handily won the Calder Trophy. The winner of the Norris that year, Harry Howell, said of the honor: "I might as well enjoy it now, because I expect it's going to belong to Bobby Orr from now on.

In light of Kaspars Daugavins' crazy attempt, we decided to count down the best converted attempts in the NHL's brief shootout history.
So close, yet so far. Ottawa's Kaspars Daugavins almost etched himself in history March 11 with one of the most creative shootout attempts in NHL history, controlling the puck with the tip of his blade and busting out a spin-o-rama, but Boston's Tuukka Rask got post to post in time to make a great save.

From Glenn Hall, to the Flyers, to a lopsided game, we countdown some great runs in NHL history.
As the Chicago Blackhawks continue their incredible run to start this season, it's a great time to look back at some other incredible NHL streaks.
by Ken Campbell - February 27, 2013 3:45 PM UTC
How does Chicago's hot start compare to the best 20-game stretches in NHL history?
If the Chicago Blackhawks can win in regulation time or get to overtime against the St. Louis Blues Thursday night, they'll extend their record start to 20 straight games with at least a point to start a season.

Stretching Exercises: 6 Yoga Moves That'll Make You Look Younger
Ward off lines and wrinkles by adding one or all six of these anti-aging, super-stretching yoga poses to your workout
• Place your hands, palms down, under your bottom.
• Press your elbows into the floor to help lift your chest up toward the ceiling so your back is arched.
• Walk your elbows in toward each other a bit to enable you to lift your chest even further.
• Drop your head back and rest it gently on the floor.

Very interesting, but be careful if you have a preexisting injury and/or pain.
by robyne00 Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 03:48PM Report as inappropriate
It's not exactly yoga that is anti-aging, but rather more the stretching that forces you to relax and breath, allowing you to clear your mind. I did gymnastics for 15 yrs and I found that stretching for 20minutes a day, with similar moves here, before the yoga fad, helped me reduce stress, even when the pressures of competition was upon me. This should explain for the yoga amateurs why exactly the move helps with anti-aging and also mention that most of these moves are not for those with joint or back problems such as myself. It's like blind faith with this article. You tell me what to do, but why?

Raiders football coach returns home
TORRINGTON — Seventeen years ago, Gaitan Rodriguez received what he called 'the epitome' of his career accolades.
As a high senior at Torrington High, Rodriguez earned the '29 Club Award in honor of the 1929 undefeated Torrington High football team. Each year the Club honors a single Red Raiders' football player who exhibits extraordinary athletic performance and leadership, academic excellence and is a positive role model for others to follow.
On Wednesday, in his first official act as the new Torrington head football coach, Rodriguez was asked to relive some of his past glory, and specifically, describe what the '29 Club memento in 1996 means to him.
"As the years go by, I appreciate it more and more and the camaraderie and tradition that goes with it," said Rodriguez, now 35. "To be a part of this special, exclusive group is the epitome."
Still Rodriguez has refrained from using his former playing status as a way to get through to his estimated 50 players, who arrived at the first of five, two-hour conditioning sessions Wednesday.

I've been thinking about special needs adoption, but one of the things holding me back is the cost of medical care. If you don't mind sharing (or anyone else with experience), how do you handle this? I can put a child under my health insurance, but what if I lose my job? I know part of it is trusting God to provide, but I'm also very aware of the very high cost of medical care (I'm a nurse)... In a way I feel very well prepared for adopting a child with severe medical conditions (TPN, trachs etc don't phase me at all), but on the other hand I'm afraid of being financially irresponsible (especially with no family support...). Any thoughts would be most appreciated :)

@M -- I'm not sure of all states, but for us in Pennsylvania both our kids came to us with Medicaid. Angela uses our insurance as her primary and then her medicaid is secondary. Both our kids were adopted though SWAN, which has a few different policies. Since our kiddos are considered disabled once they turn 18 they will still keep their Medicaid.
Hope that helps. There are programs to help you/us to take care of these kids intense needs. It helps a lot but obviously doesn't take care of everything. It can be a struggle at times but MORE than worth it!
I always suggests that people find a agency and start the training. You learn so much and if at the end you decide it's not right for you then at least you will have made an informed descision.
Good Luck!

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Snowmass Villagers dying to go inside the new Westin and renovated Wildwood on the Mall won't have to wait much longer.
While neither hotel is taking reservations quite yet, both are having a soft opening Nov. 15. According to general manager John Curnow, the Westin is "full blast" starting that day, opening for dining and overnight accommodations, and the Bar at Wildwood restaurant will open in the other property.
The two hotels have undergone a $55 million renovation project over the past seven months. Formerly the Silvertree Hotel and Wildwood Lodge, the properties were bought along with the Silvertree Conference Center by a joint venture between Starwood Capital Group and Wasserman Real Estate in July 2011.
Curnow, who has lived in the Roaring Fork Valley off and on for 14 years and was formerly general manager of the Sky Hotel in Aspen, said the hotels have seen $100 million worth of changes from purchase price to renovation. Those changes involve a higher standard of amenities, services and programming, in addition to the obvious changes in the look and feel of the properties, he said.
About 100 former Silvertree and Wildwood employees have returned to work at the new hotels.
"Returning Silvertree associates have been in awe of the changes," Curnow said.
One big change is the move of the hotel's main restaurant, called the Snowmass Kitchen, to the mall level from the slopeside location that Brothers' Grille occupied. Now the restaurant will still be accessible to skiers but will also have proximity to shops on the Mall. Dining and shopping options in the Westin complex will include the Ranger Station, a collaboration between the hotel ownership and New Belgium Brewing Co., Starbucks, North Face, Patagonia, Snowmass Sports, 81615,; and Local Color.
"We've got this great mix of local businesses and great, internationally recognized brands," Curnow said.
This summer the Westin got approval from the town Planning Commission to build a seasonal ice rink and mini-golf course on the Mall, in the area where the clock tower stood. The owners have decided against that because of the expense and how small it would have to be, Curnow said. Instead, the Aspen Art Museum has collaborated with the hotel to run a rotating sculpture garden in that location, which Curnow said he feels still accomplishes the goal of giving visitors something else to experience on the mall. A stage is also being constructed outside the Ranger Station for live music and other programs.
"The whole goal is to keep people here," Curnow said.
The look is the biggest thing that's changed at the Wildwood. Curnow said since the owners didn't rename it, redesigning it became the way to give it a new character.
Carlton DeWoody, of New York-based design firm Reunion, which took on the Wildwood project, said his team drew inspiration from ski lodges through the decades, from the '60s through the '90s. The result is an eclectic mix of different retro styles that never strays too far from the mountain feel.
In the lobby, DeWoody said he and his peers had the added task of keeping the space light enough for summertime guests to enjoy and cozy enough for the winter.
"We didn't want to forget that stuff is going on year-round," DeWoody said.
The floors and much of the interior is white oak, but there is also a fireplace and tables with storage space for board games. And, there is a skin rug painted on the floor and a faux trophy head wrapped in alpine sweater material, which as DeWoody put it are more "P.C." versions of classic ski lodge staples.
The Wildwood houses an arcade room, and its redesigned pool area will be opened to the community this summer.
Although they will have a specific role at each hotel, staff members are being trained to work at both. Some amenities at the two hotels are specific to their respective guests, while others they will share. Guests of one will be able to sign their room number at restaurants in the other.
"We have two very different experiences all right here," Curnow said. "But I think they'll complement each other."

Her uncle, Syed Haque called her "a loveable person and very beautiful," the Evening Standard reported.


text: I am not going to bore you with statistics and symptoms or even reasons concerning autism. What I want to talk about is more on a personal level. Autism does not only affect the life of the person with autism but the people involved with that person, such as you, my classmates.Many things make the person with autism a complicated human being. What you see are the behaviors that seem strange, defiant and even physical. What you don�t see is the why. Have you ever been in a small cramped place with ants and bugs crawling all over you and your mouth is taped shut? I hope not. But, that is how I feel most of the time. I hear sounds magnified 100 percent, and I can�t drown them out. I see everything and am unable to focus on one thing at a time. I can�t stand many textures on my body, and in my mouth, and they want me to behave and learn. YEAH RIGHT!Just like this past week. It has been very hard for me. I am expected to sit very still and make no noise so you can have a quiet atmosphere to test in. However, I find it impossible to stay completely quiet. So I feel bad, then my mom feels bad, and then it snowballs from there until I am forced to leave. Apologizing for my behavior probably seems to you the right thing for me to do. And I am sorry. But, would a paraplegic apologize for having to be in a wheelchair and getting to park in a handicapped parking space? If apologizing for this behavior would make it go away, then I would apologize happily. However, it will not help.I know it sounds like nothing can help me, but that is not true. The new sensory diet I am on will be the answer. It will help me to stop feeling trapped within my own body. There are many times I could scream out of frustration, but then I think about how others have it much worse than I do, and I relax and breathe. Breathing is exactly the point. I am alive and breathing, and I am so grateful for that.How can a disability run a person�s life? In fact it should not. You should learn from and accept it lovingly because it is who you are. I would be someone else if I didn't have autism, and I love who I am. Does that mean I don�t want to get better or even talk someday? Heavens no! I look forward to the day I can say hello to each of you and call you by name. But until that time, be patient with me. I am trying harder than you will ever know.

icarus502 wrote: Self Conscious wrote: icarus502 wrote: Dude. You didn't address anything that I wrote whatsoever.
i did answer, its none of the situations you described. Most of which had a obvious bias in how they were written (example: she made her way to Alaska either for reasons of Alaskan nationalism, because she considered that it would otherwise shore up her image as being a sort of supermom who is immune to pain, or because she simply would prefer that the unwanted child with sever defects die).
You didn't answer. It really, really seems that you actually have no idea what the content of the so-called "conspiracy theory" you're "debunking" even entails. Nor does it seem that you have any idea of what the Palin-given narrative for the birth even is. Why the fuck are you arguing this? I mean, if we call c&ping from articles that I've both read and addressed "arguing."
To wit:
How is what I posted, in the part that you quoted, "biased"? It's speculates on the reasons for which one would, while in a high-risk labor in a very high-risk pregnancy, one would put their unborn child in danger by hopping onto two transcontinental flights and thereby passing up several great hospitals in Dallas and Seattle, and flouting FAA policy and nearly every airline's policies (which generally state that a woman who boards an airplane in her third trimester should have a doctor's note and be fit-to-fly without the reasonable expectation of giving birth or they should be traveling in the company of a doctor) [it should be noted that Alaska Airlines doesn't restrict pregnant women at all and all airlines are on a sort of honor system regarding this, but they wouldn't board a woman who was visibly in labor]. I didn't make this up — if the reasons that I suggested seem biased or outlandish, it's because the situation itself is outlandish. For the record, one of my suggestions, that they did this out of reasons of Alaskan nationalism, is both the one that I think is most likely and the one that was proffered by Todd Palin himself: ""You can't have a fish picker from Texas." How is that biased? It acknowledges both what the (ostensible) father says AND the fact — which some "debunkers" think is super-relevant — that Palin was not a national figure at the time of the birth and was an isolated identity politician in a state in which secessionists are a sizable minority. Palin's personal ties to secessionists, including her husband, who was a member of the secessionist AIP from 1995-2002. If it sounds outlandish that one would put their already retarded child at such additional risk because they wanted, as localized Alaskan political figures (as well as demagogues and nativists, in general), to say their kid is a Real Alaskan then:
1) You harbor a willful disregard for the degree to which nativism has been the primary cultural political ideology of the American right-wing since, well, before America was even a country, through the Yellow Peril, both iterations of the KKK, the Minutemen Project (no D. Boon), and on and on. And, more importantly…
2) You agree with those of us who you're criticizing in that you think something is fishy about the Palins' own account of the birth. After all, that's the reason they gave.
The other suggestions, that she wanted it to be an essential chapter of her personal identity politics or that she simply wanted to be rid of the child, might be less charitable (I guess) than suggesting that she and her husband are simply bizarre Alaskan nativists who care more about those beliefs than the welfare of their unborn, retarded child, or it might not be (depending on your perspective). I could sympathize with a mother who, burdened by a difficult job and a bunch of other kids, thought that a premature child with Down Syndrome would be too much to handle and did what they could to ensure a stillbirth. I'd think they were despicable, but I'd understand. Likewise, I have plenty of sympathy for a mother who chooses not to saddle their unwed teenaged daughter with retarded child or the stigma of teen pregnancy and chooses to raise the kid as her own. Such would even be admirable*. But I have no sympathy for nativism. And, again, the nativist explanation — as crazy as it is — is the one that the Palins have shared.
* At least to the point that the teenaged mother begins a career in abstinence advocacy while the grand/mother uses the false story of the birth as a nugget of self-mythologizing along the path to building a national brand of bigotry-based identity politics
As for the rest of the things you've "disproved," you simply haven't. There are a couple of statements from people — one of whom is a freelancer who was in a romantic relationship with one Palin's closest aides, the other of whom wrote at the time that "she doesn't look pregnant" and was later charged with a post-birth "investigation" of the matter (why would that be necessary if he'd seen her pregnant belly already?) — and neither reports actually seeing her belly.
C'mon, Self Conscious. Tell it to me straight what, exactly, do you think happened?

McCain really needs to pick a white guy, maybe a white lady (and, then, probably only if it's Sarah Palin) if he has any hopes of winning this thing. The only people-of-color who could help him at all -- Powell (especially) and Rice -- won't even say they're supporting him (and probably aren't).
Quote: you write in that last paragraph that there are a couple of statements by people who said "she doesn't look pregnant." so what, i listed 6 independent news outlets and reporters that have no reason to cover anything up for her, saying they did notice she was pregnant. Why are those couple of statements more valid than those that I posted. As for the man who wrote that she didn't look pregnant which started this whole thing, he changed those claims and didn't want to look like he was starting this conspiracy.
My question to you is, are all these people lying to cover up the fact that Palin didn't have a kid?
redball wrote: Self Conscious wrote: She would have also known while doing all these things that she was going to be selected to be vice president. Palin is stupid and not smart enough to have told the future and create this wild narrative just encase she was selected.
No. Not at all. Her politics were the same when she was only an Alaskan figure and not national. Insisting that the child be born in Alaska has more to do with local politics than national. This has nothing to do with the VP pick nor any prescient ability to predict it.
That much should be apparent to you because you quoted reporters who say they were looking into it before the VP pick happened. If it weren't important on a state level then why would it be looked into at all at that point? It was looked into because her identity politics were important to her political career separate from any presidential aspirations.
icarus502 wrote: FFFFUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!
Again, you're not really responding to me, just repeating talking points. Other people's talking points. My last response was all about nativism and Alaskan nationalism, their impact on her politics, and the degree to which they might have influenced her to either have the baby in a psychopathic sort of way or to lie and say that she had the baby in a psychopathic sort of way when she'd really had the baby in a less psychopathic sort of way.
icarus502 wrote:
In both of those scenarios, which are two of the three exhaustive scenarios that I posted, Sarah Palin is the mother of Trig Palin. My belief, of which I'm not completely sure, she is lying but she is still the mother.
There are three possible narratives (and a fourth, which I won't address except that it involves Bristol and an earlier timeline). To reiterate: 1) She's telling the truth (and is the mother). The psychopathic, baby-endangering truth. My speculation, based on her politics and her husband's words, was that — if this were true — it's about Alaskan nationalism and building a mythology for the sake of entrenching herself as an Alaskan politician. 2) She's lying (but still is the mother) but told her lies for all the same reasons a more crazy person would have actually done those things. This is what I believe is the most reasonable explanation. 3) She's lying. Not the mama.
icarus502 wrote: I wrote that whole reply because of your suggestion that my suggestion that Alaskan nationalism had anything to do with it was "biased" when that is the Palins' own story. It indicates that you're unserious about "debunking" but more serious about namecalling and quoting extensively from others' hole-filled works.
icarus502 wrote:
You're all about some ad hominem — Birthers! Oswald! — but not so much about addressing exactly what Redball and I are writing.
icarus502 wrote: It's frustrating. I'm getting some serious procrastination done in writing this stuff, acknowledge my (not actually doing my) work!
And you're writing this stuff about "oh she would have had to have been super duper prescient and known that she'd be a VP pick." Nothing I've said assumes that. I've made it clear that, whatever happened, it was mostly about her building her standing in Alaska. However, it should be noted that the notion that she came out of nowhere to be picked by McCain is false revisionism. More astute political observers than I thought she had a shot before she was picked, but — for the record — so did I! In July 2008, on this forum, she was the only realistic candidate that I could name!

redball talked about how some people have seen her and didn't think she was pregnant, i responded by showing plenty of people who did.
AdamBomb wrote: I seriously doubt that Palin faked her pregnancy. There would have been too many people that would have spilled the beans for some cash, especially by now. Its almost laughable. We can't even keep our top secret government files off of Wikileaks, but Palin can keep this explosive secret under wraps?
Glenn Beck killed somebody and Lou Dobbs dropped the body off in Mexico (no evidence that disproves this).
Barbara Walters is an undercover CIA agent (as are Pat Sajak and Mark Summers).
Kate Plus 8 was never pregnant (and those kids are really not siblings). TLC was just desperate to rev up their ratings.
Ryan Seacrest is really a computer generated hologram and not a real person.

It's sad that no one is actually arguing that she's not Trig's mother, yet there are still people arguing against something that no one here believes.

The idea behind EA Sports' premium "Season Ticket" was to give people 72 hours with their favorite sports video game before it hit retail shelves. Turns out they will get a few more, with Xbox 360 and west coast users benefitting the most.
The full version of Madden NFL 12 will be available for download for Season Ticket holders beginning at 10 a.m. EDT over Xbox Live, and at 6 p.m. EDT via PlayStation Network. The game is immediately playable once the download completes. The file is 4.72GB on the Xbox 360, 4.87 on the PS3. All modes of play are available during this preview except for Madden Ultimate Team.
You'll need to have purchased a "Season Ticket" through PSN ($24.99) or XBL (2000 Microsoft Points) to have access to the download. While all gamesaves and associated files generated by the game (such as a profile) are transferrable, the game itself will expire and be unplayable at 6 a.m. EDT on Aug. 30, the day of Madden 12's retail release. So you actually get another six hours before you have to go buy your retail version.
Best case scenario, you are a west-coast Xbox 360 owner with a great Internet connection, giving you maybe 89 hours of game time through a long weekend. See this analysis for full breakdown of what Season Ticket offers.

SAN JOSE -- Milos Raonic was 7 years old when Tommy Haas played in his first SAP Open in 1998, but he isn't about to show much respect for his elder with a third straight title on the line and his game surging.
"No, it's somebody fighting for the same thing as me, so it doesn't matter the age," said Raonic, 22, who will meet Haas, 34, in Sunday's final SAP championship match before the tournament moves to Brazil in 2014.
Both the top-seeded Raonic and fourth-seeded Haas recorded swift, efficient straight-set victories in Saturday's semifinals, setting up an intriguing match of a focused up-and-comer on the ATP circuit against a veteran looking for a few more blazes of glory before he calls it a career.
But Haas, who upended No. 2 seed John Isner 6-3, 6-4 to reach his first SAP final in eight appearances, will need everything he can muster -- maybe even an "Old Guys Rule" T-shirt -- if Raonic is anywhere near as good as he was in blowing by third-seeded Sam Querrey 6-4, 6-2 in the other semifinal.
Raonic's dominance at HP Pavilion court has been well-documented. The two-time defending SAP champ is 11-0 over three years in San Jose. His serve has only been broken twice in those 11 victories, and not once this year. If he wins Sunday, he will become the first three-peat winner of the Bay Area event in the Open era, and the first since Tony Trabert did it in from 1953-55.
The 6-foot-5 Canadian might not have played a better match than he did against Querry. His powerful serve was typically overwhelming, and he worked in a strong return game and improved accuracy on a variety of shots at the net and from the baseline.
"I thought he hit the ball big all around," said Querrey. "He was really sharp."
Tennis aficionados believe that because of his youth and ongoing improvement, Raonic might have the best chance to break into the Big Four men's monopoly of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Andy Murray. He is ranked just 13th in the world, but even Raonic believes it is only a matter of time before he is pushing into the top 10 and becoming a lot more well-known.
"I feel like if I play my best, I can beat anybody anywhere," Raonic said. "It's just a matter of breaking through that hurdle that's stopping me in the Grand Slams."
And outside of San Jose. If he wins this final, Raonic will have four tournament titles in his career, three of them here. He said that from the time he hit his first practice ball this week, he felt very confident he could successfully defend his title for a second time.
"I just like the way the court plays," he said. "It doesn't take too much adjustment for me, particularly since the court we played Davis Cup the last two years has been similar to this court. It doesn't play too quick. It takes the spin. Kick serves bounce high. It's a soft court."
Raonic broke Querrey's serve in the first game and never looked back. He served 12 aces, but just as importantly, won 22 of 25 successful first serves compared with Querrey's 23 of 34. He never faced a break point, and when Querry actually forced a 30-all game in the second set, Raonic responded by pummeling a 141 mph ace followed by a 136 mph service winner.
Haas, the oldest player ranked in the ATP's top 50 (he is No. 22), probably will come into the match with confidence, considering that the man he beat in his semifinal, Isner, has a game similar to Raonic's. But Isner's serve was off early against the veteran German, and Isner's return game didn't really show up like Raonic's did.
But Haas is nothing if not well-rounded and savvy. He was once ranked as high as No. 2 (in 2002) and owns 13 career titles, although none of them Grand Slams. Serious injuries have haunted him throughout his career, including a hip issue that required surgery in 2010 and caused him to miss most of that year.
But he returned to good health last year, and in June, won a grass-court event in Halle, Germany, beating Federer in straight sets in the final. Haas made two other finals during the summer but hasn't won a hard court event since 2007.
"Numbers and rankings don't matter to me so much at this stage of my career," said Haas. "It's being in the finals of an ATP event really makes me proud. It's just one step closer to winning another title, which at the end of the day, is what you want to try to accomplish. I'm happy to have that chance."
Isner, the top-ranked American in the world at No. 16, said whoever faced Haas in the final would have his hands full.
"There's no shame in losing to him," Isner said. "He's an awesome player at 34 and doing what he's doing. He's been at the very top of the game, he's in incredible shape, and he's hitting the ball really well."
The two semifinals drew a modest crowd of 3,329, but the evening session's mixed doubles exhibition pitting Andy Roddick and Stefanie Graf against Justin Gimelstob and Lindsay Davenport drew 5,774, less than a thousand short of capacity in HP's tennis configuration.
sunday's schedule
At HP Pavilion
Singles final: Milos Raonic vs. Tommy Haas, 3 p.m. CSNCA
Doubles final: Lleyon Hewitt/Marinko Matosevic vs. Xavier Malisse/Frank Moser or Alejandro Falla/Robert Farah, 1 p.m.

GENEVA (27 January 2013) – "Today is the day to remember that 70 years ago millions of Jewish men, women and children, as well as Roma, Slavs, disabled people, homosexuals, Jehovah's witnesses, communists and other political dissidents were being brutally assassinated, simply because of who they were."
"This important commemoration gives us the opportunity to reflect on one of the most tragic moments of our history and to remember the millions of lives that were destroyed in this senseless violence."
"But this special day is also more than that. It is a reminder that the ultimate responsibility of making sure that such monumental crimes never happen again rests with each and every one of us."
"This responsibility goes beyond words and good intentions. It requires us to maintain our ability to stand firm in our fight against discrimination and related hatred at all times. It requires us to not permit manifestations of hatred or discrimination to go unnoticed or unchallenged. It requires us, every single day of our lives, to stay vigilant against efforts to excuse or turn a blind eye to hate speech and acts of discrimination and incitement to violence."
"Such constant vigilance is the only way to ensure there is no risk of repetition, and the best way to honour the memory of Holocaust victims."

News12 / Friday Nov. 1, 2013
WAYNESBORO, GAa. (WRDW) -- "It's ridiculous. It didn't used to be $4 a gallon. It's gone up a lot over the last couple of years," said Lisa Oliphant.
And the price of milk could get even higher. In January moms like Oliphant could pay double-- $8 for a gallon if congress doesn't pass a new farm bill soon.
"We'll be drinking a lot less milk cause you know that's just crazy," she told News12.
"It's going to hurt us all," said farmer Jimmy Franks.
Hundreds of cows roam Franks' dairy farm in Waynesboro. He says subsidies from the bill benefits both the farmer and consumer.
"If the farm bill isn't passed in some aspect it's going to create a higher price on everybody's food. That's what keeps a lot of prices down in the grocery store," he said.
Franks rejects the idea that federal help is just a hand out. He says that money helps make sure food is safe, keeps hazardous chemicals, like the ones used overseas out, and keeps the cost of production low.
"The week before last I paid $2 and I think 85 cents for a half gallon," said Elizabeth Thomas.
Thomas no longer has kids at home, but says milk was always a part of home cooked meals. She still buys a gallon of milk when it's a good deal and uses one method to make sure it does not spoil in the fridge.
"I split it in half, do one half in the refrigerator and the other half in the freezer." she told News12.
As Oliphant heads home to enjoy a glass of milk--she hopes the farm bill passes soon - before prices turn sour.
"Farmers are the base of this country and they are doing a hard job and we need to help them out. We lost too many farmers i think," she told News12.
The Farm Bill conference kicked off this week and members of both houses of congress are working to write a new five year deal that keeps both Democrats and Republicans happy. Food stamps are attached to that farm bill and Republicans have been very vocal about wanting to reduce that funding.
The House of Representatives is on recess for a week starting Thursday-- some say it could be until Thanksgiving if not longer before a deal is reached.

Single motherhood is just one of the moral and cultural issues that is being ignored by many of those speaking out against income inequality, according to a column by The New York Times. Columnist David Brooks recently wrote about how complex cultural issues - like single motherhood and dropping out of high school - are lumped together to try and simplify economic inequality and the inability to move around the social ladder. Single mothers and high school dropouts are "people stuck on the margins" of social mobility and can't rise or move in the social structure, Brooks said. And those who are blaming the inability to move up the social ladder on low incomes are ignoring moral, social and cultural issues in the United States, he wrote. "Low income is the outcome of these interrelated problems, but it is not the problem. To say it is the problem is to confuse cause and effect," Brooks wrote. "To say it is the problem is to give yourself a pass from exploring the complex and morally fraught social and cultural roots of the problem. It is to give yourself permission to ignore the parts that are uncomfortable to talk about but that are really the inescapable core of the thing."

FREMONT -- After shooting 150 hours of footage over seven years, filmmaker Amy Do and her first movie, an offbeat documentary called "Rabbit Fever," is getting its day in the sun this weekend.
The Fremont resident's 56-minute film, which profiles competitive rabbit shows and their quirky contestants, is scheduled to make its television premiere at 6 p.m. Sunday on KQED's "Truly CA" program. It will air three other times through Sept. 22 on the San Francisco public TV station.
Do decided to make the movie after attending her first rabbit show, held in Pomona in 2001.
"I was amazed at all the different breeds and I was, like, 'Wow, I didn't know this world even existed,'" she said. "I felt like I'd walked into my very own version of 'Best in Show' (a hit 2000 comedy about dog shows)."
She began shooting video of competitive shows nationwide, from the massive American Rabbit Breeders Association show in Washington D.C. -- in which about 20,000 animals compete -- to a smaller contest at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton.
She grew fascinated by the mostly unknown subculture, focusing on five teenage competitors and their intense interest in the animals. "I saw a little of myself in them because I get passionate about all kinds of things, too," she said.
Do had to be passionate about her film in order for it find an audience. Though the movie took years to complete, Do said marketing her work was even more difficult than the production.
"They teach you how to make a movie in film school, but they don't teach you what to do after you make a movie," she said, laughing.
The big-screen version of "Rabbit Fever," which is 83 minutes long, appeared at the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis in 2010, and had one-night screenings in San Francisco and San Leandro.
To air on KQED, Do had to trim it by nearly a half-hour. "It's like a whole new film, in a way," she said.
Do, a graduate of Fremont's Kennedy High School, said she started learning about film at Ohlone College, where she took courses in TV production and film studies before graduating from USC's prestigious film program in 2002.
Her next goal is to have PBS broadcast her documentary to a national audience.
She said she is unsure of her next film subject, but when ready to get behind the camera again, she will be armed with a decade of navigating the unpredictable but exhilarating movie business.
"I treat this film as my graduate school, because it's taken up so much of my life," she said. "I've learned so much from it."

GREENFIELD, Mo. — The Jasper Eagles remained undefeated with a come-from-behind win at Greenfield, 26-12 to move to 3-0 and take a share of the Spring River Valley Conference lead with the Sarcoxie Bears.
Jasper was behind 12-6 going into the fourth quarter, but 20 unanswered points, including a 68-yard touchdown catch by Colton Sweeney, completed the comeback by the visiting Eagles.
"I told them all week that it was going to be a battle," said Jasper Head Coach Rich Adkin. "Greenfield is so good on defense, they're fast, they're strong, and I told them it was going to be very very difficult, so we needed some big plays or something like that to happen for us because it was a struggle."
Adkin said the Eagles made a point of throwing the ball in this game, attempting 13 passes compared to five passes in the first two games combined.
Quarterback Logan Johnston only completed four of those passes, but he made those passes count, hitting three for touchdowns and a total of 124 yards.
Running Back Payton Smith was the Eagles leading rusher with 13 carries for 75 yards, followed close behind by Jordan Rice, with six carries for 73 yards.
The Eagles fell behind after a scoreless first quarter. Greenfield struck first with a one-yard run by Anthony Schwindler on a fake field goal attempt, going up 6-0 in the second quarter.
Jasper tied the game up with a 19-yard pass from Johnston to Nick Adkins. The extra point failed and the teams went into halftime tied 6-6.
Greenfield scored in the third quarter on a 26-yard touchdown reception by Schwindler from Hunter Montey.
Jasper took over, scoring the tying touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter, a 30-yard pass from Johnston to Sweeney.
Jasper benefitted from a little bit of luck on its next drive when a ball meant for Blake Jeffries was knocked away, but landed in Sweeney's hands. He scored on the 68-yard pass.
The two-point conversion made the score 20-6.
Jasper put the game away with a 2-yard touchdown run by Johnston late in the fourth to make the score 26-12.

In today's retro-tastic edition of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Jesse_Astle wonders what classic pictures from Hollywood's golden age would make for exciting interactive video game experiences. Remember when the world was black and white?
What classic movie would you like to see turned into a game?
Invasion of the Body Snatchers would be a cool survival horror game. Starts off slow as you come back to your small town as you start to notice small differences in the way people act. It culminates in an all out flight for your life as you fight off sleep and the pod people, not knowing who you can trust as you try and warn the authorities... yeah I'd play that.
Or how about a feudal Japanese L.A. Noire, Rashomon. Different stories with different results, which one is true!

The song you first heard that featured Sage Francis?
I believe the first song I heard him featured in was the Orphanage, which I can honestly say was one of the best introduction songs to a whole a multitude of Hip-Hop artists.

Makeshift Patriot - live at the Highdive in Champaign, IL. Went to the show because of a review in the Daily Illini without even hearing the music and shelled out my $10.
And thus was the entire course of events in my life changed forever.

Pages 11 - 15 of 212
|<< 1-5
|< 6-10
|16-20 >
|211-212 >>
1 MR IRVING: While you still have that bundle in front of you --
2my Lord, this is just by way of putting documents in --
3page 1 is a German document which is a conference dated
4August 6th 1942, on the face of it. Right? It is from an
5American microfilm T 501 which is the records of the
6military government, the generalgouvernenent. Is it a
7record of the conference of 6th August 1942, Dr Longerich?
8 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Again, I have to say I got this document five minutes ago
9and I should really have the time to read it.
10 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Let us read it together. I am sure we will
11be able to manage.
12 MR IRVING: My Lord, I am just really going to pay attention to
13the title of the document and in the most general terms.
14Is this a document relating to increasing air raid
15precaution measurements in the government general?
16 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] The translation is guidelines for the building up of air
17raid defence in the area of the command of the military
18force in the generalgouvernement. That is the title.
19 Q. [Mr Irving] The remaining four pages just give guidelines for how to
20do this, to build air raid shelters because of the
21increased danger of British air attacks?
22 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] It does not say British air attacks. I think it could
23also refer to Soviet or American attacks but I just trust
24you that this is the case.
25 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Just so that I understand the relevance, this
26is back to Auschwitz?
1 MR IRVING: Back to Auschwitz, my Lord, yes, crematorium No.
2(ii). The next document I want you to look at briefly is
3on page 5. First of all, I draw your attention to the SS
4runes on the first line under be Abschrift. Do you have
5page 5?
6 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Yes.
7 Q. [Mr Irving] You see the SS runes after Reichsfuhrer SS?
8 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Yes.
9 Q. [Mr Irving] So this is probably a genuine wartime document? I have to
10put it like that.
11 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Probably.
12 Q. [Mr Irving] Are you familiar with this document, signed by the chief
13of the concentration camp system, Pohl?
14 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] I cannot recall the document. I am really curious to know
15from which archive the document is. I also have to say
16I did not have the time to read the document. So would
17you say where this document is from, from which archive
18you have that?
19 Q. [Mr Irving] It has been provided to me by a lawyer in Dusseldorf who
20is heavily involved in wartime cases.
21 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] So you cannot say from which archive.
22 Q. [Mr Irving] I will obtain it for the court.
23 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] It is difficult for me to comment on the document if I do
24not know where the original is.
25 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I see that. Was this in your discovery,
26Mr Irving?
1 MR IRVING: My Lord, no it was not.
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I thought not. It is typical of last minute
3documents being provided to me by lawyers around the world
4and they know these things. If your Lordship has any
5objection, then I would not take it further.
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: No, I do not. I think this document is
7rather different from your manuscript and I think we will
8proceed cautiously, but for the moment let us assume it is
10 MR IRVING: If you just look at the first page of this document
11and run your eye over it, is Pohl sending a message to all
12the concentration camp commandants, 19 of them, saying:
13"It is time to stop the rough and ready measures with
14prisoners. We are losing them like flies. We need their
15manpower. Look after them better"?
16 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Well, first of all, I have to express my reservations
17about this document. I do not know the context. I do not
18know the archive. But on the assumption that this is an
19authentic document, yes, it is a letter to the 19 heads of
20the concentration camps, and obviously the document is
21saying that they have to improve their measures to keep
22prisoners alive, so which is a kind of reference to what
23happened in the camps before, I think.
24 Q. [Mr Irving] Indeed, and paragraph 5 of that first page says: "Not
25from any false sentimentality but because we need their
26arms and legs because those are helping the German people
1to get to a great victory. That is why we have got to
2start paying attention to the welfare of the prisoners"?
3 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Yes. That is stated here in this document.
4 Q. [Mr Irving] Then the next page, page 2, the heading is, "Foodstuffs,
5food, feeding"?
6 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] I do not have the time to read now.
7 Q. [Mr Irving] Well, I am just asking you to look at the headings. That
8all we need, I think. Page 2 he is talking about the
9feeding. The following page, paragraph 2, is called
10"Clothing". Then down to the bottom of that page,
11"Natural Medications" or "Health" ----
12 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Yes.
13 Q. [Mr Irving] --- "stuff".
14 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Well, I cannot, you know, I cannot read so fast but under
15"Clothing" it is stated here: "I decide that during the
16winter, as far as far as available, prisoners should wear
17coats, pullover, socks", so that should give you an idea
18about the standards which actually existed in the
19concentration camps before this letter arrived, and it
20says, it says "as far as available", so it does not
21actually say, "Give the men, you know, proper clothing".
22It is saying, you know, "You can give them socks if they
23are available and nothing more". So I think this gives
24you a kind of an idea of this.
25 Q. [Mr Irving] Over the page, paragraph 4 is called "Avoiding unnecessary
26exertions". For example, these frequent parades were they
1were held standing for hours while they were counted
2zielappelle ----
3 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Yes.
4 Q. [Mr Irving] --- are to be kept as short as possible, and so on. In
5other words, there seems to be a reversal of existing
6policy because they are losing prisoners like flies to
7what I would call non-violent causes.
8 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] That is your interpretation, yes.
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Well, what is yours?
10 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Well, they started in the concentration camps a programme
11which they called "extermination through work". So they
12used hard labour as a tool, as a means to kill prisoners.
13This was the practice before. Now, at October '43, it is
14not really surprising they are a bit cautious here and
15they are trying to improve as far as they can, trying to
16improve in some sense the general conditions of the
17prisoners. But, of course, this is a document, I mean,
18this document is, of course, sent to the head of the
19concentration camps -- nothing to do with the
20extermination camps, for instance.
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I was going to ask you about that.
22 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Yes. So, as far as Auschwitz is concerned, it concerns
23the slave labours within the camp. It does not say
24anything about the people who were deported to the camp
25and selected in front of the camp.
26 If one, you know, if I have to -- if I were in
