Weaker Yen Not Bad News for Japan's Competitors, IMF Says
Countries around the world watched nervously when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took power last December advocating a weaker currency to help lift growth. Leaders of other nations, especially Japan's closest competitors, suspected Tokyo might be seeking an unfair trade advantage.
In a report published Thursday, the International Monetary Fund tries to put those fears to rest, saying that most of the effects of a weaker yen on the competitiveness of other nations would be offset if Mr. Abe successfully implements his pro-growth policies, known as Abenomics.
While a drop in the value of the yen makes Japanese goods such as televisions, cars and cameras cheaper overseas, the report says the impact of the lower prices on competition would be outweighed if Japan achieves stronger growth that boosts the global economy. That in turn would help smooth out any competitive differences, the report said. In addition, Mr. Abe's policies could push more Japanese money into overseas assets and contribute to lower borrowing costs.
Some countries, especially in Asia, could even directly benefit from a weaker yen. The IMF report notes that countries, including Thailand, Taiwan and South Korea, rely on imported parts from Japan when manufacturing goods such as motor vehicles and machinery. Being able to buy those imported parts from Japan more cheaply could help those nations keep down their final export prices.
Furthermore, firmer Japanese demand would benefit major trading partners such as Australia, Indonesia, South Korea, China and New Zealand.
Rather than a weaker yen, the IMF flagged the possibility of Abenomics falling short in its goal of jump-starting the economy as the real risk. A failure to put Japan on a path to long-term growth and cut the nation's debt could cause interest rates to spike and send ripples throughout the global financial system.

Some homes were evacuated after a natural gas line ruptured Wednesday afternoon.
Kansas City firefighters were called to 45th Street and North Jackson Avenue about 12:20 p.m.
Missouri Gas Energy said a construction crew hit an 2-inch line.
Twelve homes in a two-block area were evacuated as a precaution.
Ruth Sawyer said she and her three children came home from an afternoon trip to a toy store to find firefighters on her front lawn. She said her ears perked up when she heard about the gas leak.
"I find it crazy with all the construction," she said. "I kind of thought it was gas-related. Guess I was right."
Neighbors said crews are installing new sewer lines in the area.
The leak was capped a short time later.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
by Truman Capote
Breakfast at Tiffany's Chapter 19 Summary
- The newspapers start reporting Holly as missing (or even murdered), but then they eventually learn that she's in Rio. The police don't try to find her, and soon Holly isn't really big news anymore. No one hears from her from months and the apartment owner sells all of her stuff and rents her apartment to a new guy who "entertained as many gentleman callers of a noisy nature as Holly ever had" (19.1).
- The narrator finally gets a postcard from Holly, who tells him that she's made her way to Buenos Aires, that she's fallen in love with a married man who has seven kids, and that she doesn't have an address yet but she'll send it when she gets one.
- The narrator never hears from her after this, and this saddens him since "there [is] so much he want[s] to write her" (19.1). He wants to tell her about the stories he's sold, about Mag and Rusty's nasty divorce, about moving out of the apartment "because it was haunted" (19.1). And he wants to tell her that he did find her cat after searching and searching. On "one cold sun-shiny Sunday winter afternoon" (19.1), he sees the cat "in the window of a warm-looking room" (19.1). He wants to know what the cat's name is since he's "certain he ha[s] one now" (19.1), and he's also "certain he'[s] arrived somewhere he [belongs]" (19.1).
- The narrator's final thought is about Holly, and he hopes that she has found the place where she belongs as well.

Devils Tower Climbed
June 28, 1937
First Technical Climb of Devils Tower
This report was filed soon after the climb by Superintendent Newell F. Joyner.
Devils Tower, until Monday, June 28, 1937, unclimbed save by use of rope and stake ladder, has been conquered. Fritz Wiessner, New York, Lawrence Coveney, New York and William P. House, Pittsburgh, Penn., all members of the American Alpine Club, New York City, made the ascent up the almost perpendicular columned laccolith in slightly less than five hours.
The party of climbers arrived at Monument headquarters in the late afternoon of the previous day and spent some time in a reconnaissance of the south side of the Tower and the completion of plans for the ascent. At 6:30 the following morning the climb began, after making their way up over 200 feet of rough talus to a point where the columns rise almost perpendicular. They reached the top 600 feet higher at 11:18, four hours and 48 minutes from the time they began the ascent; 30 minutes was spent exploring the top, collecting requested specimens of the flora as well as samples of the rock found at the summit, taking pictures, and noting in detail points of scientific interest. One hour and forty-two minutes were consumed in the descent which was terminated at 1:30, with a total round-trip time of exactly seven hours. Both ascent and descent were made via the same route on the south side of the Tower.
It was a difficult climb, all three agreed, Wiessner adding that there were few places in the Alps as difficult to climb as one part of the climb where they had to traverse a chimney for eighty feet.
Devils Tower is composed of a granitic rock known as Phonolite Porphyry. At the time of the Black Hills uplift, the up-welling of molten rock in the then overlying layers of sandstone and limestone formed a "lava blister" or Laccolith. Uneven contraction accompanied the rapid cooling of this molten rock causing cracks to be formed which set off huge five or six-sided vertical columns. Erosion has removed much of the blister and left the structure now known as Devils Tower, which stands about 867 feet above the 385 foot hill on which it Tests. The first 250 feet is over the talus slope, or slanting heap of broken stone at the foot of the cliff.
The hard part of the ascent came after the climbers, all of them experienced, started up the crack or chimney, slightly to the west of the old stake and two-by-four ladder constructed by the first climbers, Will Rogers and Will Ripley. Wiessner, who has climbed several very difficult peaks in the Alps and in the Grand Tetons', led the way.
"Wiessner looked over the crack when we got to the overhanging ledge, and said I think it goes." Coveney said. "I wasn't so sure, but Wiessner led us up in as magnificent a piece of mountain climbing as I have ever seen."
A certain technique is required for climbing up cracks and Wiessner is an expert in this line, his companions declared. Using an over and over movement something like the crawl of a caterpillar he led them up the narrow perpendicular seam. Only one piton was used and Wiessner afterward declared that it was unnecessary and wished that he had not used that safety precaution. A piton is a small iron pin, with an eye in the outer end, hand forged and so tempered that it can be bent double twice, before breaking. When used it is driven into a small crack in the rock; into it is fastened a carabiner (snap ring) through which the rope is run. The whole acts purely as a safety device. No actual climbing is done with the aid of the piton or the rope. Both are to serve in case of an accident.
"Every bit of the climb was made under our own power," Wiessner said, "we used no artificial means whatever."
After the treacherous crack had been safely negotiated, the climbers unfastened the ropes which had held them together for safety and by means of a sloping ledge, easily made their way to the top. They remained on the top long enough to gather specimens from the summit which consisted of tufts of grass, sagebrush, cactus in full bloom, ferns, small samples of rock taken from the peak, and a Mormon cricket. Photographs were taken of the summit, measurements were paced, and a small cairn was constructed in which they placed their last empty grapefruit juice can and their names.
The following scientific observations were made and reported verbally by the members of the party.
- The area at the top is oval in shape with the long axis north-south as represented on the topographic map of the U. S. Geological Survey. The paced dimensions are 200 feet east-west by 400 feet north-south.
- They found the top to be a dome shaped oval, the entire top sloping up to a central point almost exactly in its middle, 15 feet higher than the periphery.
- The columns are exposed in end-sections around the periphery of the top, but most of the center portion is covered with top soil that appears to be the product of disintegration of the rock in situ. No transported soil was recognized. Because of this top soil no observations could be made of the rock structure at the center of the Tower.
- Approximately the upper 200 feet of the Tower show much deeper weathering and rock disintegration than that below. Weathering at the top was described as distinctly "slabby" which suggest typical exfoliation. The samples of weathered rock collected appear to be identical to that of the rest of the Tower.
- The only evidence that any one else had climbed the Tower was the old flagstaff which Ripley and Rogers carried up in sections on that first climb on the Fourth of July, 1893.
"Three cans of grapefruit juice and orange juice doesn't go so very far." House said, "but if we had carried up all the water we wanted, we wouldn't have had any strength left to climb the Tower."
Due to the fact that no announcement of the climb had been made because ethics of mountain climbing forbid it, only a small crowd witnessed the ascent. Tourists who happened to choose that particular day to visit the Tower were rewarded with a rare thrill.
One of the first to congratulate the climbers was Mrs. Alice Hepler, whose first husband, W. L. Ripley, was undoubtedly the first man to stand on the Tower. He aided Will Rogers in building the ladder, carrying the stakes up and pounding them in because he was not afraid of high places, Mrs. Hepler said. The crowd was small in comparison to the climb by Rogers. People came and stayed for several days, and there were probably 500 people who watched it, Mrs. Hepler said, though she declared she had seen some accounts in which the crowd was estimated at 7000. She was the only person at the Tower Monday who had witnessed the first climb.
"I wouldn't recommend that any one except an experienced mountain climber attempt the trip we made," Wiessner said. "It is an extremely difficult climb for 200 feet and to one who does not know mountain climbing it would be practically impossible to reach the top. A serious accident would be very likely to result. There is only one pitch on the north face of the Grand Teton in Wyoming which is as difficult in its way, as this crack is on the Devils Tower."
Wiessner has climbed since his early youth in Europe and in the United States; numbering among these, climbs in the Alps, Himalayas Rockies of Canada, United States, and Mexico. His climb of Mt. Waddington in British Columbia was featured in the December 14, 1937 issue of Life. One of his most difficult climbs was the Kaiserberger in the Alps. Coveney's first major climb was the Devils Tower, although he has climbed extensively and is an experienced climber and highly technical in his climbing technique, we were informed by his comrade. House, a graduate of Yale College of Forestry, has climbed in the Alps, the Tetons, was a member of Wiessner's party in the Waddington climb, and has climbed some in Mexico.
Sunday before coming to the Tower the party stopped in the Needles of the Black Hills, near Harney Peak, climbed two of the spires in order to condition themselves for the more difficult climb of Devils Tower.
The climbers wore ordinary hiking clothes with wool socks and low canvas climbing shoes with heavy hempen soles which not only gave them sure footing but allowed them to feel the crevices with their feet. Each climber carried a 35 meter safety rope made of the best quality Italian hemp, which is tested to 1 1/2 tons and will stretch twenty to twenty-five feet, thus acting as a cushion to the climber in case of a fall.
Wiessner presented his climbing shoes, a piton, and carabiner to the museum at Devils Tower headquarters, and a short piece of the rope used.
Special permission for the climb was obtained from the National Park Service. Wiessner and Coveney were here last summer and looked it over but were unable to get permission then. The climbers made the trip out here and the climb entirely at their own expense. We were very grateful to them for the information they brought back.
"And we are grateful to Mr. Joyner for the way the crowd was kept back," Coveney said. "So often we worry more about them than we do about what is above us."
The first climb was made July 4, 1893, when William Rogers a cowboy living near Devils Tower made the ascent. This ascent was made via a ladder which was constructed a short time prior to the climb. Rogers and his neighbor W. L. Ripley, had spent days constructing the ladder, carrying the small stakes up the Tower and pounding them in. Two-by-fours were nailed to the stakes, thus making a crude device which has ever since been called "the ladder."
Two years later Mrs. Rogers climbed the Tower with her husband, again on the Fourth of Juiy. She is the only woman who has ever been up. W. B. Ogden, formerly of Sundance, Cyril Miller, Ivan Hoffer, L. G. Wood, and Henry Hazelbaker., climbed the Tower on the ladder after Rogers had come down on the Fourth of July, 1893. Neil McArthur helped carry material up for Rogers so it is probable that he stood on top at some time.
A rod man, name unknown, in the party of Dr. Herron of the U.S.G.S. made the climb in 1918. Others who have been on top are T. F. Jolley, Spearfish; Seth Boyer in about 1900; Henry Hauber in about 1905; J. Arthur Jobe, July 22, 1906; Dudley Wilkinson, Bates Eccles, Alfred Barr, Lloyd Gay and William McMaster, June 25, 1908, and a so-called human fly, Babe White, in 1927.

J. Crew gray shortsleeve cardigan, pink textured silk top by Cynthia Steffe, Paige wide leg jeans, Cica Joan and David gray patent pumps, black lace cami from BR
This top may be a tiny bit too long, but not bad. I'm not happy with the gray and the pink, it just doesn't look quite right to me. I should have worn my long sleeve black cardigan. These shoes became hideously painful by the end of the day. They are too wide in the heel and narrow in the toe, plus they do not breath and I was not wearing stockings, so my foot kept sliding foward into the already too tight toe. I ended up with sore big toes and sore pinky toes, plus my pedicure rubbed off on the tips of my big toenails because of it! but luckily I won some flip flops in a silent auction (along with a beach towel and matching visor and water bottle), so I switched into those. Not terribly professional but, hey, it's Friday!

Roger makes history!
In a dramatic encounter that lasted over four hours Roger made history today! He defeated Andy Roddick to land a record-breaking 15th Grand Slam title in a thrilling final in Wimbledon, winning 5-7 7-6 (8-6) 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 and 16-14.
His words after the amazing success were: "It's not one of those goals you set as a young boy. It feels amazing. I don't play tennis to break records, but this is a great one to have." Roger is the first tennis professional ever to have reached the mark of 15 Grand-Slam titles as he broke Pete Sampras' record. Pete followed the epic match in the
stadium today.
It was a hard piece of work for Roger as Andy Roddick pressured him with his strong serve. The two stretched the match all the way and played the longest set in tennis history! Roger was the happy winner today, with Andy surrendering a good loser.
And now Roger regains the world number 1 spot after his glorious victory - way to go!
You have written most of the things that I wanted to express as well. 21 consecutive GS semifinal would have hardly drawn attention had Nadal not faltered in the consecutive fifth RG championship. Everybody in the press was talking so much of N
You are the best.Come on!
Dear Friend

You are back !!!!!!!!!!
It´s nice to read your post again.
You are always positive !!!!!!!!!!!
All my love
I agree totally with you.
In Rod Laver's time there are less competitors than now.
If Nadal (the best-ever player on clay) don't exist, Roger won 5 french open titles.
Rod Laver's time the 4 grand slams are played 3 tim
As some of you are saying **Himalaya for example** I also think Roger is the best player...
After Roger made this historic record. I "would like" Roger to do more...
*A higer GS titles record

I'm sure your calculations are accurate, but don't let's put too much pressure on Roger to a) stay at no1 and b) win US open.
His and Mirka's child will be born very shortly and I do not quite see how he can expect to play at Mo


text: Posted February 7, 2013 Whether he deserves it or not I never thought he was in the running. His play is not flashy, his team had a losing season and is a small market team that gets no media. Hopefully it fires him up for the future, just like hopefully the pro-bowl snubs fire the rest of the team up. By the way, I thought we'd all be used to being overlooked, under estimated and invisible in the media? A little late and all, but I just wanted to say I was happy to be surprised by the league on this. LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!

|The current method of video scoring is labor-intensive since no autonomous tracking capability exists. After a drop, during which two to six fixed-zoom ground cameras record the flight, each video is manually "read" for payload position in the field of view. This is accomplished frame by frame, with the video reader clicking on a pixel that represents the visual "centroid" of the payload. Each video frame has a bar code with the azimuth, elevation and UTC stamp, so the data for each frame is stored automatically as the pixel is clicked. After the videos are read, the data is processed to determine the position at each frame during the drop. The payload position is then numerically differentiated to calculate velocity. The automated capability of accurately acquiring TSPI is supposed to hasten the processing of each video by autonomously tracking the payload once initialized. Then data from several cameras can be 'fused' together to obtain TSPI (of each object in cameras' field of view).
The development of such autonomous capability (TSPI retrieving system) should obviously address the following two independent problems. First, it should process video data itself with the goal of obtaining the frame coordinates of a certain point of the test article, say payload's geometric center. Second, it should provide the most accurate solution of the position estimation problem assuming that information from two or more cameras situated around DZ is available.
|The appropriate software to solve each of two problems has been developed and successfully tested in computer simulations and with the real drop data. The video data processing aims at preparing all necessary data for the following position estimation. It is based on a piece of software developed by PerceptiVU, Inc., namely PerceptiVU Tracker to retrieve x-/y-offsets of the center of the test item from each frame. The PerceptiVU Tracker window with several drop-down option windows is shown in Fig.C. For the batch processing a user encloses the test article to track into the appropriate-size box on the very first frame and then this item is being tracked automatically.
Figure C. Setting the options for the PerceptiVU Tracker.
|Figure D represents an example of correcting video data (eliminating the corrupted lines, excluding spikes, and filling dropouts) using the 128-point Welch FFT window, and an example of the processed data for three KTMs is shown in Fig.E.
Figure D. Checking/correcting time histories of the x-/y- offsets
(click here to animate the image).
Figure E. Example of conditioned data for three cameras.
|Processing video data results in conditioned (corrected if necessary and synchronized for all KTMs) Az/El and x-/y-offsets data ready to be passed to a position estimation algorithm that allows a position estimation per se. Mathematically, the problem of the payload position estimation can be formulated as follows: we need to find the three-dimensional position of the payload's centroid, when its projection , i=1,…,N onto the image plane of N cameras is available. The positions ) of each camera in the local tangent plane (LTP), as well as their focal length, fi, azimuth, , and elevation, , are known.
|Obviously, each camera contributes with two nonlinear equations (written for the horizontal and vertical planes). That is where it follows from that to resolve for three components of the vector we need to have at least two cameras (N≥2). The more cameras record the drop and more evenly they are distributed, the more accurate position estimate we could get.
In this project, this problem was cast as a multivariable optimization problem: choose components of the vector that minimize some compound functional. This problem is solved at each instant of time within a Simulink model that employs a standard MATLAB fminsearch function for unconstrained non-linear minimization (based on the non-gradient Nelder-Mead simplex method). The developed software proved to be very reliable and quite robust in handling both emulated and real drop data. Figure F shows the results of processing data shown in Fig.E. It also shows the results of the descent rate estimate. For this particular drop the GPS/IMU data was also available, so the comparison with an exact data demonstrated a perfect match (with an average error of less than 2m that corresponds to the cameras' pixel size).
Figure F. Position and descent rate estimation using data of Fig.E.
Figures G and H demonstrate another example when data from six cameras were available. The top-left plot in Fig.G presents a bird's eye view of the KTM constellation around the release point (radial lines show the direction to the test article at the release (solid lines) and impact points (dashed lines)). The bottom plot depicts the Az/El data for all six cameras. The top right plot demonstrates the estimate of the geometric dilution of precision (GDOP), i.e. the maximum accuracy that could be possibly achieved (based on the cameras' pixel resolution). Figure H shows the result of processing this six-camera data.

Alice Powell is in the hunt for more success after completing an amazing weekend.
On Sunday, the Oxfordshire driver recorded a double win at Rockingham, near Corby, just 24 hours after she got through the next stage of selection for the GB Skeleton bobsleigh team.
Powell, 21, from Sarsden, near Chipping Norton, twice got the better of championship leader Toby Sowery to end his winning run in the F3 Cup.
She had been due to compete at Silverstone, but a change of plan saw her switch tracks and race for Gale Force Racing.
"It all changed at the last minute and I ended up going to Rockingham," said Powell.
"It was really good and I didn't expect to do so well. It was great to get the team a maiden win. There was a lots of very close racing, which made it exciting."
It followed her previous fine effort at Rockingham where she finished third in the Cooper Tires British F3 International series.
But Powell admitted that the news from the bobsleigh team had come as a complete shock.
She added: "I didn't expect to get through. They said they would send us an email last week, but I hadn't heard anything.
"But on Saturday, my phone started bleeping.
"I was thinking 'who is sending me an email at this time'? So I was delighted when it said I had made it through to the next stage.
"I think it's down from 600 to between 100 and 120 people. They haven't told us what's next.
"I'm now hoping for another email. I think they let you know at the end of July.
"I'll just have to keep up the training and see what happens."
Powell is next in action on the track in June when she takes part in the Formula Renault Asia Series in China.

Define the audience before you define the product.
All too often, people create a product or service and then go looking for an audience they think will want what they're selling.
Do it the other way around. First identify an audience and see what they have or what pain they need to be rid of. Then reverse-engineer the product or service to fit that need.
Example: My "Need-to-Know Marketing Sites From Web Digest For Marketers" wasn't created simply because we had the content (although we did). I first had to ask, "Why would someone pay good money in bad times for this thing?" The answer was they would pay money to not have to sift through millions of search results when all they're looking for are a handful of relevant sites, fast.
Once you've got the audience and thereafter the raison d'etre for the product defined, the writing, offer, and list purchase will seem a whole lot easier. LC

One Response to "Define the audience before you define the product."
Larry – Amen! I think this is a problem especially prevalent in the technology arena. I've encountered too many bright technologists who invent a 'round shiny object' and only afterwards give thought to who (if anyone) would be willing to pay money for it. I posted a blog on this entitled "Why the disconnect between technology and consumer product development?" (www.lkphd.com). There is good reason for making use of market research!

text: As a coal mine supervisor, there were several pieces of equipment I used to detect the safety level of the environment in which we worked. First, was the barometer, which most supervisors checked before going underground. A low barometer reading meant methane gas could more easily seep out of sealed old works and accumulate in the high places on the track. Sparks from a bouncing trolley pole could ignite the gas. In the winter, such dangers were more pronounced because the dust in the mine tended to dry out creating more combustible material to feed a fire.

Economists predict rate hike ahead of MPC meeting
A rate hike is on the cards, economists say, ahead of a monetary policy committee meeting this week.
A rate hike is on the cards, economists say, ahead of a monetary policy committee meeting this week.
Bonds are rallying after the Reserve Bank's hiked rates in an effort to assure South Africans and investors that inflation will not run away.
Reserve Bank Governor Gill Marcus announced an interest rate hike on Thursday, while highlighting strike action and excessive salaries and bonuses.
The Reserve Bank's acknowledgment that a rate hike had been discussed extensively has caused the rand to strengthen and bond yields to go up.
Governor Gill Marcus says the South African Reserve Bank will maintain the current repo rate.
Cosatu says the South African Reserve Bank has "missed yet another opportunity" to alleviate unemployment by keeping the repo rate unchanged.
South Africa's monetary policy committee is due to discuss interest rates this week and the rand's weakness is most likely to dominate the agenda.
The rand has held steady against the dollar in early trade but looked vulnerable after hitting a four-year low in the previous session.
The rand continued to drift upwards against the dollar after coming close to a 3-1/2 year low last week.
Fedusa says the South African Reserve Bank should cut the repo rate by at least 100 basis points to stimulate the economy and create jobs.
Reserve Bank governor Gill Marcus says the monetary policy will maintain its focus on hitting a 3% to 6% inflation target over the medium term.
Reserve Bank governer Gill Marcus cites global and local risk factors in holding rates steady.
The Reserve Bank is under pressure to balance the potential of a full-blown financial crisis in Europe with weak growth domestically.
In line with market expectations, Reserve Bank governor Gill Marcus says the repo rate will stay at 5.5%, its lowest level in 30 years.
The South African Reserve Bank has left the repo rate unchanged at 5.5% and the prime rate at 9%.
South Africa may be past its growth peak for 2011 in the light of uncertainty about the global economy and nationalisation.
Monetary policy may remain favourable to the economy and inflation expectations are still within the central bank's target range, says Monde Mnyande.
The SA Reserve Bank left its repo rate unchanged at 5,5% on Thursday as expected. It was the second time this year the bank has left rates steady.
South Africa's rand steadied against the dollar on Thursday and was likely to trade within a narrow range ahead of SA's interest rate decision later.

This piece is not meant for the false patriots, the brutes and the brainwashed, for those who want a Jewish, Arab-free Knesset; a Jewish, foreigner-free society; and a state without B'Tselem or the High Court of Justice.
This piece might not be meant for everyone. Nationalists, racists and fans of militarism and fascism can continue to be satisfied by the developments of the past few months. For them, democracy means only an election every few years, tyranny of the majority and the crushing of the minority, lockstep thinking, the state above all else, Judaism before democracy, a coopted media and clapped-out control mechanisms, an academia under supervision and citizens subject to a loyalty oath - and to hell with all the fundamental values, which are being trampled before our very eyes. This piece is not meant for the false patriots, the brutes and the brainwashed, for those who want a Jewish, Arab-free Knesset; a Jewish, foreigner-free society; and a state without B'Tselem or the High Court of Justice.
But they are not the only components of Israeli society. There remains another significant component. The legions who gathered to protest the Sabra and Chatila massacre of 1982 are still with us. There are many people here who know the history, who understand democracy, who should be terrified by what is going on.
Terrified? That's exactly the point: They're not. They hear what happened to MK Hanin Zuabi, and are silent. They hear MKs from the center and the left verbally bullying their Arab colleagues, and turn a deaf ear. They read about the torrent of dangerous draft laws, and show forgiveness. They witness the McCarthyist witch hunt against nonprofit organizations, MKs and university professors, and remain complacent. They realize something is happening here that poses a greater threat than all of the external threats, whether real or imagined, that lie in wait for Israel, and they persist in their indifference.
From history they have learned that regimes that begin to act this way are doomed, that Israel is on a slippery slope, mainly because its control mechanisms have all been rendered impotent, and yet they do not protest. They sense that something terrible is happening, but fool themselves into believing that "it won't happen to me." They hear every day about the growing danger, and they cluck their tongues, sigh, complain and abandon the field. This piece is meant for them.
Zuabi is hounded, MK Ahmed Tibi is threatened - so what, they're Arabs. Those who express unconventional views are denounced as traitors, boycott organizers will be fined, Gaza flotilla participants punished, human rights activists and critics of the Israel Defense Forces outlawed - and the majority of Israelis think that nothing bad will happen to them as a result. They think that to be a good citizen it's enough to support Gilad Shalit. If some Jewish community abroad were under siege they would put together a solidarity flotilla, but when Zuabi is punished for performing a simple act of identification with her people, they do not care.
They hear about the rabbis who inveigh against leasing apartments to foreign workers, about the witch hunts against foreigners who cross the border illegally in search of work, about the deportation of the children of refugees, and about rising police violence. They think it's not nice, but that it won't happen to them. They see the representatives of Kadima, their party of hope, joining this campaign of incitement. They see the representatives of this false "centrist" party out-Liebermaning Avigdor Lieberman. They see their leader, Tzipi Livni, cloaking herself in disgraceful silence, and they do not protest the deception being perpetrated against them by their fraudulent party. Why? Because they are convinced that they themselves are in no danger.
The time has come to tell them, the ones who have withdrawn and who care only about their own lives, that it's coming. Soon, soon, it will happen to you. It won't stop at the Arab MKs or at the NGOs, not at the universities and not at the demonstrators. It won't even stop at your doorstep. It will enter your daily life. Police violence? It will come to your children, too. Thought police? It will reach you, too. Your newspaper and your television will look different; the Knesset, your courts and your schools will be unrecognizable. It has happened more than once, and it will happen here, too. If not today, then tomorrow. The monster has reared its ugly head, it is approaching all of us, no one remains who can stop it and when it gets here, it will be too late, much too late.

No, I would say the first and maybe the third had their merits, but the 2nd was awful.
Let's not talk about the cheese for a second, but simply put, the second film meanders, so it has terrible pacing and major script issues. The first hour is useless. By the time you're introduce to the Fallen, it feels like an after-thought. The plot is uneven. It doesn't have to bet strong but it's just strung along.
Not only that, it's the one movie that the transformers really get sidelined. No bot has a real arc to speak of, the Autobots introduced in the first flim were barely featured, the new characters are just unlikable (the twins) and you're stuck with them for the entire second act while Prime is 'out'.
It's overly long, directionless, aimless, and strangely boring.
"For me, I hope people take away when they see 'The Force Awakens' is the sense that in the most ordinary life, the most extraordinary things can happen."

Comments about Men's Voyager II Travel Blazer:
After a ton of research, I've concluded this is basically your only option for a travel blazer. Im using this for a backpacking trip through Europe. This jacket can be used as an everyday light jacket, but also can be worn as a barely acceptable substitute for a sports coat with a dress shirt and dress pants. When I first put this on, I was thinking to myself "this cant be the only option," because im used to wearing tailored suits that fit perfectly, and this jacket definitely looks alot more sloppy than you would expect from a well tailored suit coat, but when you accept it for what it is, I think its worth around $100, if for nothing more than a light jacket to hold all your travel documents.
Size runs large. I'm typically a medium-large in sizes with other clothes. Typically when I get a jacket I get a 42 or so, in this jacket, to make it work as sports coat you need to go a size smaller than usual. I had a 40 on and it still looked alittle too big. If they made a 39 I would probably be that size, the 38 (smallest possible size they make, was just a hair too small in the waist but fit perfectly in the chest).

Wendy Davis says "I am pro-life" because she wants to protect women
As Wendy Davis makes the rounds for the Democratic nomination for governor, she's giving some indication how she will handle the abortion issue. Davis catapulted to national attention after a filibuster against an abortion bill in the Texas Senate.
She attracted a passionate following among those who support health care for women and reproductive rights. But the issue makes her a target of GOP frontrunner Greg Abbott, an abortion-rights opponent who wants to paint her as a one-issue candidate.
Davis' advisers are trying to figure out how to deal with abortion as an issue in the conservative state of Texas.
In South Texas, Davis gave some indication. At a stop in Brownsville, Davis described herself as "a woman who wants desperately for others who are coming up in poverty to receive the same kind of partnership from the state that I once received so that they too can become a part of the success of Texas."
She said her support of abortion rights doesn't mean she doesn't care about life.
"I am pro-life," she said, borrowing a phrase from anti-abortion activists. "I care about the life of every child: every child that goes to bed hungry, every child that goes to bed without a proper education, every child that goes to bed without being able to be a part of the Texas dream, every woman and man who worry about their children's future and their ability to provide for that future. I care about life and I have a record of fighting for people above all else."

Metagenomics: Theory, methods and applications. Norfolk, UK. Caister Academic Press.p. 141-158. Technical Abstract: Recent progress in mining the rich genetic resource of non-culturable microbes has led to the discovery of new genes, enzymes, and natural products. The impact of metagenomics is witnessed in the development of commodity and fine chemicals, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals where the benefit of enzyme-catalyzed chiral synthesis is increasingly recognized. Recovery of metabolic pathways and genes clusters involved in biosynthesis of antibiotics and bioactive molecules has increased the prospect of identifying useful natural and synthetic products for drug development. The discovery of biocatalysts operating optimally with high efficiency in conditions amendable to industrial processes requirements are key to successful development of food products, detergent additives, bioactive compounds, fuel alcohol and biodiesel, as well as optically active intermediates for drug and chemical synthesis.

A U.S. Army sergeant has pleaded guilty in the shooting death of a civilian employee last year at Fort Knox.
The News-Enterprise reports Sgt. Marquinta Jacobs of Radcliff entered the plea Thursday as his court martial began to charges of premeditated murder and aggravated assault in the death of 51-year-old Lloyd R. Gibert of Elizabethtown.
Investigators say Jacobs approached Gibert in the parking lot near the Human Resources Command building where Gibert worked.
The newspaper reports the judge sentenced him to 30 years in prison, a dishonorable discharge, and a demotion in rank.

Ideas bounce around my head about working for the Church if one is not a member of the clergy or a religious order. Some of my friends would say, "Why bother?" There's some truth in this attitude. There's a lot of problems with working in the Church these days and not all of it regarding pay. Let's just say, working for the Church can be a great place to use your talent for Someone greater and for eternal consequences. Experience tells me that church-working need not be a sad, hostile, dysfunctional place to spend one's life. BTW, what I say is not only for the laity because the clergy have the same issues.
- a great place to work at; a fun place to work, a welcoming, loving & fulfilling culture
- a place where a good use of technology possible for the Gospel (tech is hot these days)
- a place to network with Catholics (Christians and "seekers") to propose a new lens of life
- time available to see how your work affects lots of people
- a place that will teach you something new
- pay and perks that strive to be competitive
- a place where the employees are happy
- have opportunities for spiritual development.

One Rate, One Currency, No Cure
The euro zone's bizarre two-step goes on, with Ireland still under pressure to accept a bailout it insists it doesn't need for the sake of a greater good: staunching contagion to other debtor states.
Ireland's economy is fully funded until mid-2011, so its ministers can presumably afford to stall. All the same, it seems likely some deal to at least recapitalize its struggling banks will be struck a lot sooner than that.
Then the markets' gadflies will probably pronounce Ireland cured for now and move on to the next problem: Portugal, perhaps, or Chinese monetary tightening. Whatever.
But bailouts are only first aid. And BNP Paribas has given us a quite chilling reminder of the longer-term therapy the bloc faces as it seeks to put itself on a more sustainable footing, and keep the disparate likes of Ireland and Germany under one policy roof.
Using the very rough rule of thumb that the appropriate monetary policy rate should equal nominal growth, Spain and Ireland, until around 2007, should have had interest rates about 500 basis points higher than they got out of the European Central Bank, writes Paul Mortimer-Lee, BNP's global head of market economics.
Using the more complex Taylor Rule to calculate appropriate rates doesn't change the picture much. According to it, Mortimer-Lee says, policy was still hugely over-accommodative in Ireland if slightly less so in the case of Spain.
And the situation now? Well, you don't want to know, but the Taylor rule apparently suggests rates are 300 basis points too tight for Spain and a crippling 1100 for Ireland.
This lurch from one extreme to the other is, as Mortimer-Lee puts it, "a foolproof recipe for boom and bust, a banking-sector problem and a prolonged recession." Well, go figure.
But these are truly massive gaps. Don't forget that interest rates were regularly tweaked in little 25 basis point dollops before the financial crisis. The knowledge that they were 500 points out for some countries while that was going on is quite sobering. ECB rate decisions were totally academic to the needs of many member states; raising or lowering them by such a tiny amount really was re-arranging the Titanic' s deck chairs as far as they were concerned.
Now, of course, the newly-contrite European Union as a whole is promising a golden age of fiscal prudence to anyone who'll listen, and some shiny new iron rules to replace the widely ignored Growth and Stability Pact.
The trouble is, it's not obvious that the debtor nations' problems were rooted in inappropriate fiscal policy. And what can the EU promise on the monetary front? One currency, one rate is surely all.
Once the markets get over their propensity to cheer the application of Euro-Band-Aids, they will come back to this again and again.
P.S. The U.K.'s pledge to swoop to Ireland's rescue will be scarily familiar to anyone old enough to remember the 1978 movie Superman. Lois Lane, just caught by our hero having fallen off a skyscraper, breathes: "You've got me, who's got you?"

Green Lantern: the homosexualized hero
DC Comics falls down before the powerful gay agenda in American culture
|The new Green Lantern
Green lantern was a child hood favorite, DC Comics is now a will not watch Movie Mogul. Bye Bye Batman movies...
While "Green Lantern" is "helpless" DC Comics is not and can pay a price.
You don't want to know where he's been sticking that ring...
Just another effort by big leftist media to portray the aberrant behavior and thinking of a twisted minority (less that 3%) as being "mainstream" and the vast majority of us who find overt promotion of the behavior objectionable as "extreme" and "out of touch."
by the way...Siegel and Shuster are dead as is Bob Cane.
on a similar note, no one with the name Mark Winegardner should have ever have been allowed to write sequels to The Godfather...(no I am not anti Semitic...but leave the guinea novels to us guineas)
that being said...he made Fredo Gay....even though Fredo was making cocktail waitresses two at a time, according to Moe Green and Mario Puzo, in the original book/movie...
The Pink Night Light
The Pink Glow Worm
Homo heroes?...Jeez Louise!
Who will they out next?
Superman, Batman and Robin?
Used to be a hero.
Now he's a queer-o!
Fudgepacker Comics.....just great!
As I recall, the "Green Lantern" is a group of protectors of the universe from all planets, not unlike the Jedi Knights. There have been 3 or 4 different earth-men over the course of the series, owing to mortality, aging, etc. Perhaps the "Gay Lantern" is just this current version, and they can kill him off in a couple years after the Pink Brigade quiets down.
Then again, given the treatment that Ryan Reynolds gave as Hal Jordan in the role...
Of course, sales will now flag.
At first I was concerned about "children" reading this comic, but as my brother so wisely pointed out, the average age of comic readers is 41.
The symbol is perfect. The lantern has 4 sides right. So 4 lanterns can gather round the lantern stick their peckers in and play swordfight.
You get pushed and pushed, and then you get pushed too far. I am sick of the fags and it is time we start kicking them back to the closet. They make up at most, if lucky, 2% of the population. I doubt it is even that high. Why do we even hear about them? Fags and mooslims are a drain on Western values, both are the main reason for our slow death spiral.
What about his old side kick "PieFace", are they going to call him "ButtFace".
C'mon. We all know that Davy Crockett was gay. Hangin' out with all those naked savages and prancing about the in the woods wearing furs. :)
that is why they dug up the dead classic era green lantern and not the modern green lantern corps.
(remember the classic weakness was wood.)
They have also quaranteened the homosexual on a seperate parallel earth.
This is about recruiting minors and giving abusers the tools to abuse minors. This version should be behind the counter with other sexual materials. If anything the key will be to prohibit the sale of homosexual materials/agenda items to minors.
they can print whatever, but the reality is the sexual content prohibits the distribution to minors. period.
Oh hell....You just ruined my childhood!:)
they have sacrificed the "golden era" green lantern that was a one off character. no corps.
his weakness was wood.
his predicessor was killed by arrow shafts.
This homosexual is quaranteened in an earth 2 dimension where there is no superman etc.
by extension they have killed off his wife and children.
it also means that if the gold age lantern exists in the primary continuity, then that one is still normal.
This homosexual recruiting effort will have a few pro-homo storylines, something about the "homosexual gene" myth and then poor sales and the threat of leaching into the brand as a whole sales will cause the character to have an ignoble and quick end.
Now it's Fudgeman and Throbbin'.
"They make up at most, if lucky, 2% of the population."
Although some, even here on FR, want to keep inching that pervert percentage up. ( I saw "anywhere from 2-10(!) percent", just the other day on Free Republic)
I think they picked the Green Lantern , because these guys die and are replaced ,so if it goes bad they'll kill him off , can't do that with most of the others
You have a very good point there. This is clearly sexual material aimed at kids and could be used by pedofiles.
And I restate my point, DC Comics is guilty of producing this material and will pay a hefty price by the consumer, if he wakes up that is.
Too soon?
Marvel Comics did a giveaway comic in the 1980s, by the way, where Peter Parker revealed he was molested by a gay male babysitter as a yute.
Retrocontinuity sucks. Peter was confessing this to a kid to tell him to go forward if he is abused.
Communist Goal #26 (from "The Naked Communist"): Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
The queers are merely willing dupes propped up and enabled by leftists in the media and academia (note communist goal #17 "Get control of the schools..."; #20 "Infiltrate the press..."; and #21 "Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.")
The objective is NOT acceptance or protection of "rights"; the objective is the fracture and ultimate destruction of America from within.
The actor who played the part of Magneto and Gandalf has said that he rips out the sections condemning homosexuality out of bibles in hotel rooms.
So much for "tolerance" of religious differences.
They are hijacking an earlier incarnation of the character and revising the historical record as Stalinists always do.
The Communist terrorists in the Weather Underground knew this. Bill Ayers wrote that they engaged in partner swapping and he even engaged in homosexual acts to "smash monogamy". This is referenced in the NY Times 9-11-2001 article.
I wonder if some smart trial lawyers will pick up on the liability issue. IOW DC Comics producing material that can easily be know to lead to the abuse of minors.
There is no governmental immunity for them.
put down that fist...
this is the one off lantern. He is not part of the corps.
a dead end. like his character's deathstyle.
the suit who approved this brand destruction concept should be fired on the spot.
there is no legitimate way to prop sales. this is why they are using the limited series concept to create a fake collectible that will have no real value.
perhaps they will do a polymany super hero next? A super hero with the amazing power to put up with a group of women whose periods have synronized...
oops should be "polygamy"
The entire Comic Book industry (distributors, retail outlets, and Marvel itself) almost went out of business while Bill Clinton's pal Ron Perelman was running Marvel.
There are fellow travellers at all levels of media, even "Funny books".
Even Hitler doesn't like this very much.
Oops.. wrong video.
It's the original version, Alan Scott from the 40s, in an alternate universe. Not the great Hal Jordan.
But this just shows, they are not willing to risk losing the support of the fans of their major characters. Thay lack the courage of their convictions. They are morally preening hypocrites.
Davy Crockett, gay
Superman, gay
Johnny Jupiter, gay
Howdy Doody, gay
Capt. Kangaroo, gay
Sky King, gay
Trigger, gay
Clarabelle. gay
Tarzan, really really gay
Lois Lane, transsexual
The only saving grace in making the Green Lantern into the Gay Lantern is that they can let some super villian kill him off and the Green Lantern Ring will go find a Real Man to be the next Green Lantern.
His nemesis. The chocolate starfish.

A Quote by L. Lionel Kendrick on challenge, children, communication, concern, divinity, fatherhood, feeling, gifts, home, journeys, life, mortality, needs, people, relationships, silence, and suffering
The real challenge that we face in our communications with others is to condition our hearts to have Christlike feelings for all of Heavenly Father's children. When we develop this concern for the condition of others, we then will communicate with them as the Savior would. We will then warm the hearts of those who may be suffering in silence. As we meet people with special needs along life's way, we can then make their journey brighter by the things that we say. Christlike communications will help us to develop righteous relationships and ultimately to return to our heavenly home safely. May we treasure the divine gift of communication, and may we use it wisely to build and to assist others on this marvelous journey through mortality.
