In 2005, Yahoo! invested $1 billion into Alibaba Group (including Yahoo! China assets). Today, 6 years later, that investment is worth $10 billion according to the last offer made by Alibaba Group earlier this year to buy back some of Yahoo!'s stake. That is an incredible return on investment for Yahoo! shareholders. Congrats Jerry. And it's even more exciting to think of what that stake could be worth in 5 and 10 years time.
Why doesn't Carol get that? Why did she fail to water the tree that was the Alibaba relationship when she took over as CEO in 2009? Why does she do such a poor job describing the Alibaba business even now? Why didn't she accompany Jerry Yang and Tim Morse to China last week to meet with Alibaba Group about the current state of affairs, if that's such an important relationship? Why did she sign off on the PR war with Alibaba Group once she got embarrassed by the buried disclosure in her last 10-Q?
Carol was supposed to be this wise 62 year old when she took the reins from Jerry two years ago. Her mishandling of the Alibaba relationship and her ham-handed turnaround of Yahoo!'s core business are amateurish.
So, to compare Carol to Steve Jobs' return to Apple (AAPL) is laughable. Why should we give the benefit of the doubt to someone who has been a bull-in-a-china shop leader for the last two and a half years? Why does she deserve our understanding and patience when Yahoo!'s stock price is up 22% since the day she was announced as the new CEO, while the NASDAQ is up 78% over that same period?
If anything, since Yahoo! was a turnaround and its stock was at $12.22 the day before she was announced as CEO, Yahoo!'s return should be double the NASDAQ return over that same period. If it had doubled the NASDAQ return, Yahoo!'s stock should be at $32.97 today.
Topic please.
09085660569, give me a call, that is my cell. Hottie won't answer. But chat me up. You know the regional code for this part of the world, correct?
Absolutely positively on the money correct. Known fact! Published often. I do not have the time to devote to daily prayers to the stock market gods that they may grant me a miracle and anoint the Yahoo Inc. share value. I have been tempted to play it but not smart given my geographic location and internet reliability. I have zero faith in current management. But hoping for a better team to take the stage soon. Then maybe i will take a position. In my mind (counting both brain cells) Yahoo Inc. share price is fully valued. Events may be at hand that will change that. But until such point in time that those events occur. No thanks, i am old and not as quick as i once was. If i make my grab now i will surely catch the wrong end of the knife.
It is often said that the ways of the old are mightier than those of the young and bold.
But that is a story yet to be told.
How could anyone buy shares now? It is not yet determined what you are really buying. Who knows, in 2 months from now it might be announced something else is gone that went missing yesterday. Why in the world would i buy shares in a corporation that does not keep me informed of what i have a need to know. Why would i suddenly have a desire to invest in a corporation that does not know or guard their investments? Have little or no regard for their share holders. If some gave me shares today i would sell them on the next trading day. But that is my opinion today. Tomorrow is a new day, circumstances may change. My opinion may change. Only time will tell. My crystal ball did not come with instructions and i cannot get it to work. Ouija board i have but i lost the little pointer thing. In my research here on markets, demographics and websites i come across all sorts of post, news articles etc. all of which i dutifully post for the board. Your welcome. But i still believe the Yahoo Inc. platform is the best on the internet. I believe the CEO has done a great job of bringing operating costs in line with earnings. But there it ends. I hope Yahoo Inc. soars like an eagle next week. But given that it has recently been plucked, it may not happen anytime soon. So to summarize; Yahoo Inc. got plucked and Yahoo Inc. share holder got what? BTW who is leading at INDY? Everything is blocked here.
Bartz will be gone before the end of her contract.
Perhaps she didn't go to China for the very fact that relations are much more strained with Alibaba because of her bluntness - not sure it was rudeness - as Jack Ma may have had it coming - but just like that cretin who dropped the f-bomb on her and she answered in kind - there was no need to stoop down to their level - she can't seem to keep her cool and take the higher ground above the scum who challenge her.
What bothers me even more is the almost total lack of innovation at Yahoo - you can't just cut costs, you need to constantly improve and innovate. Totally missed the mobile and app tsunami, for instance.
Well - to sum it up - another likely reason she didn't go to China: She's already finished. They are finding or negotiating the contract of her replacement at this moment. What a waste of shareholder money she has been, although she might have been useful for trimming the fat at Yahoo, but not at that salary.
This is the first time I am truly expecting significant news out of Yahoo on Tuesday or at least by Friday. I actually bought some of the next week 16 calls, but sure was disappointed in the close. It's obvious there are sellers who want out any time the price gets up even a few cents. Don't expect that to change unless we get positive news VERY soon.
Actually, amid all the speculation
Read this bio ...
from cocktail waitress to CEO
I like this statement also
It really angers me that a CEO of a $20 billion company — who's been paid by me and other Yahoo! shareholders $60 million so far for her last two years of work — could show such a paucity of understanding for the most strategic asset within the company. That's actually very offensive to me.
I want to honor Mark Haines' legacy by saying explicitly that the Emperor Carol Bartz has no clothes. She really doesn't. She shouldn't be running Yahoo! and should step down immediately. As she likely won't, I will be voting on June 23rd that she not be re-elected to the board. I'll also be voting against the re-election of 5 other non-performing Yahoo! directors. I hope my fellow Yahoo! shareholders will study their proxy and make their own decisions on this matter wisely.
It's time for this nonsense of under-performing CEOs clinging to power to stop once and for all. This is the leader we get for $60 million out the door in the last two years? One so out of touch that she doesn't really understand the value and importance of the most wildly successful Chinese investment any Internet company has ever made? One who only wants to talk about the "core" business that Yahoo! shareholders are currently valuing at zero according to the stock price? Are you kidding me?
This is a embarrassment. This is shameful. Carol Bartz and the rest of her crony directors should leave now.
I agree lets vote her out ...
That is the one! I like this guy now.

Latest and the second episode premiere of the new animated series, Tron: Uprising aired last night on Disney XD channel. I guess any Tron fan or a true geek wouldn't really miss that show. Just like the first episode, this one was also packed with action scenes and awesome animations.
As a fan of the Tron series I've enjoyed watching the movie and always ended up watching it again and again to satisfy my hunger to relive this amazing virtual world. There are times that I ended up imagining life inside the game. After getting to know this TV series, things got worse, and i'm already too excited. I guess it's normal, right?
Personally I think this series is even better than the movie itself. I know the movie and the animated series have entirely different story-lines but this one is more intense and exciting than both previous movie titles. The rich story that evolves around Beck and his friends is brilliant and not to mention all the cool lightcycle battles. Finally Disney has given all the fans what they really wanted.
Second episode of Tron: Uprising ended up leaving us wanting more and probably we will get to see a great episode next time. I don't know if its me or the 20 minutes of the show is too short but I will definitely look forward for the rest of the show because the story is just getting better and better.
Did you guys watch the show? Do you think its better than the Tron movie? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Four episodes in and I'm convinced that Uprising is trying to be something very different from Tron Legacy. Uprising is a study in the 20th century totalitarian state. Granted, it is building on what was established in Legacy. Therefore it is tough to say that one is better than the other. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that the story being told in Uprising is a more complex narrative than what we saw in Uprising.
Well said sir. I Could not agree more. Although I find the story of Uprising to be more exhilarating and full of action than both of the movie title's. Uprising is more like the prequel to the story of Tron: Legacy and the movie cant even get close to this. Hopefully this series will last for at least 6 or 7 seasons. Or I will kill the Disney XD channel. 🙂

Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi this week began yet another landmark trip abroad, this time to the US. Following close behind her, President Thein Sein will also travel to the US next week to attend the UN General Assembly meeting in New York.
This is not the first time that their itineraries have overlapped. In May, Suu Kyi made her first trip outside of Burma in more than two decades, traveling to Thailand to speak at the World Economic Forum in Bangkok. Thein Sein was also scheduled to attend the same event, but pulled out when it became clear that his presence would be completely overshadowed by that of the Lady.
For a leader trying to stake out a position on the world stage, that was bad enough. But Thein Sein was reportedly even more upset when Suu Kyi urged other world leaders to regard Burma's nascent reforms with "cautious optimism." She also pointedly warned against investments that would benefit the country's established elite, meaning cronies of the government.
When Suu Kyi later met with adoring crowds of supporters from Thailand's vast Burmese migrant community, and paid a visit to a camp for refugees displaced by decades of ethnic conflict in Burma, Thein Sein must have felt that Suu Kyi was determined to undermine his government's legitimacy.
Whether that was the case or not, there can be no doubt that Suu Kyi's visit strained relations between her and the president, the two people upon whom Burma's prospects for future progress most depend.
Naturally, some wonder if the two leaders' visits to the US this month will have a similar chilling effect on their relationship.
The answer, fortunately, is that such an outcome is not likely this time around.
Why not? Because Suu Kyi's interaction with the president and other members of his government has intensified in recent months, making it less likely that either side will do anything to inadvertently damage the detente between them.
Suu Kyi met with Thein Sein twice last month while she was in Naypyidaw as a sitting Member of Parliament for her National League for Democracy (NLD). In the same capacity, and as the head of a presidential committee on rule of law, Suu Kyi has also had numerous opportunities to meet with other senior government officials.
Already, Suu Kyi has made it clear that she doesn't want to create any embarrassments for Thein Sein ahead of his trip. On the key issue of sanctions, for instance, her words no doubt were music to the president's ears.
"I do support the easing of sanctions," she told reporters on Tuesday. "I think that our people must start taking responsibility for their own destiny. I do not think we should depend on US sanctions to keep up the momentum of our movement for democracy."
No sooner had she expressed this view than the Obama administration announced that it had lifted a travel ban imposed on Thein Sein and Lower House Speaker Shwe Mann—a largely symbolic move that could soon be followed by more substantial measures, such as the removal of a ban on Burmese imports.
On another sensitive issue—the recent communal clashes in Arakan State between ethnic Arakanese Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims—Suu Kyi also stressed that she had no desire to make Thein Sein's job any more difficult than it already is.
"We do not want to criticize the government just for the sake of making political capital. We want to help the government in any way possible to bring about peace and harmony in [Arakan] State. Whatever help is asked from us, we are prepared to give if it is within our ability to do so," she said.
This may sound like a strange sentiment coming from an opposition leader—indeed, some are already saying that she has abandoned her rightful role as a critic of the government—but this ignores Burma's unusual political circumstances.
While Suu Kyi has frequently spoken of the need for human rights and rule of law, at this particular juncture in her efforts to reshape Burma's political culture, her first priority is national reconciliation. To achieve her longer-term goals, she must first get the military—or as much of it as possible—on board with plans to transform Burma into a democratic nation.
To date, there has been no real dialogue between the NLD and the government about the direction the country should take. Suu Kyi clearly believes, however, that she can talk to Thein Sein and some other members of the government, and that more far-reaching discussions will eventually be possible. In the meantime, she continues to try to build trust by collaborating with the government on some issues.
The trouble with this approach, of course, is that other groups—most notably, Burma's ethnic minorities—are feeling that they have been left out of the loop. Some have understandably expressed frustration with Suu Kyi's apparent embrace of Thein Sein's agenda.
But this is not the time to start distrusting Suu Kyi's intentions. While some have suggested that she has merely shifted into full politician mode, conveniently ignoring her own principles for political gain, the reality is not so simple.
By paving the way for Thein Sein to have a successful US visit, Suu Kyi is not just building trust with the government, but strengthening elements within it that are more committed to reform. She does this because she knows these reformists are both vulnerable to a military backlash, and indispensable to the ultimate goal of persuading the armed forces to return to the barracks.
And that, in the end, is the key to lasting peace in Burma.
What a thoughtful and
considerate comment for a long term peace, stability and tolerated
democratization of Burma! The transition from oppression to liberation,
military rule to civilians', pariah state to democracy; it requires zero
tolerance of mistake from all party concerned in advancing from the hope to
realization of an end to a half century of dictatorship rule.
What a rewarding to be a part
of this historic turning point of momentous one for Burma after vigorous
struggle for over 2 decades; the moment that come with a high price of enduring
suffering of millions of people in imprisonment, forced labor, refugee camp,
and the life of internally displaced people for their believe.
This is the transition time on
both sides indeed: the oppressor and oppressed, an endeavor to understanding,
trust building, overcoming the differences and move on. Those who are not in
this path on both sides will be left behind. The time has come for a change in
Burma, the big change that will bring peace, stability and democratic rule. Fortunately,
capable leaders are taking the helm with the interest of people before anything
including theirs. Go Burma Go!
Never have, I ever had moment
of this joy in this democracy movement in finding possibility of all future
potential in democratic Burma! Go Burma Go!
The Burmese Freedom Fighter
Of course Daw Suu is the National Leader (elected as well) of Burma DISTINED to CRAFT and SHAPE the DESTINY of her PEOPLE and COUNTRY in the first place.
Thein Sein's the CLERK of Than Shwe's since day one SELECTED by the dictator since he STAGE MANAGED the PUPPET HOUSE (parliament) at Naypyidaw in March 2011 after RIGGING the ELECTIONS as well.
And BURMA UNDER Thein Sein's WATCH today is still UNDER the PROTECTION and TUTELAGE of the communists in Beijing as evidenced by Thein Sein paying a PILGRIMAGE to Beijing before proceeding to New York as publicized.
Hence, Daw Suu is having her HANDS FULL with the WORK LOAD – rule of law, peace commission not to mention Rohingya illegal immigration and looming UWSA (Wa Card) in the hands of the Chinese communists ready to launch their campaign into Burma once the Reds feel UNCOMFORTABLE OVER the US led West FORAGING INTO BURMA with the view to SPLIT THE SPOILS (exploit the situation and natural resources and other business interests in Burma) with the military backed pseudo-civilian rulers in Naypyidaw and their CRONIES loaded with CASH (black money) POISED TO LAUNDER their ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH once Obama and his colleagues in the West LIFT the SANCTIONS and PAVE THE WAY for the lot at Naypyidaw to MAKE EXTRA CASH while the people specifically the ETHNIC MINORITIES would still REMAIN CASH STRAPPED, in the hands of the regime's cronies as SLAVES like in centuries past – king, barons and landlords ganging up on the ordinary people making them to sweat and serve as labor and subjects of the crown and slaves as well in Europe.
Daw Suu would RUE the DAY when she colludes with Thein Sein and the US led West as well and LIFTS the SANCTIONS prior to PUTTING IN PLACE RELEVANT and REQUIRED LAWS and GUIDELINES that would SERVE to PROTECT/PREEMPT MONOPOLY on BURMA'S ECONOMY, BUSINESS and TRADE by the members of Thein Sein's regime and specifically the CRONIES with FAT WALLETS – ill-gotten wealth accrued via robbing and seizing the lands and properties of the people at gunpoint literally while working in partnership with the Chinese communists in projects and interests exploiting/robbing the country's natural resources and lands at the same time today.

Carlson fish oil softgels are easy to swallow with no unpleasant taste or repeating. The downside is that to achieve the recommended >1000mg of Omega 3's, you would need to consume 5 softgels a day. This package does contain over a 2 month supply.

Tyson Marquez, Rodel Mayol Promise a Weekend War
By Rafael Soto
Ciudad Obregon, Son. - With a great atmosphere and demonstrating their physical condition and the weeks of hard preparation, the boxers involved in this Saturday's big event - "Clash of Champions: Mexico vs. Philippines" - told the media they are ready for war at the Multipurpose Center (CUM).
In the main event - the flyweight champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA), Hernan "Tyson" Marquez (32-2-0, 25 KOs), will defend his title against a former world champion, Filipino Rodel Mayol (30-5 -2, 22 KOs).
In other Mexico vs. Phillppines battles - Sonoran flyweight Juan Francisco "Gallo" Estrada (22-1-0, 17 KOs) will face southpaw Richie Mepranum (25-2-1, 5 KOs).
"I feel very strong and I think this was one of the best preparations in my career. I'm ready for whatever Mayol brings and we are sure that the title will remain at home. Nobody will take away the world championship, especially when I'm fighting before my people," Marquez said.
Mayol, meanwhile, showed intensity, good boxing and accuracy. He also came to Mexico with a winning mentality.
"I come to his house to take his championship belt. I know that I have been described as a dirty fighter, that some of my fights have had head butts, but they were not intentional and not a part of my strategy. They were are accidents are these things happen in boxing, but this Saturday I'll fight Marquez and beat him clear and clean," said Mayol.
Tickets are on sale at the desk of the CUM as well as Bella Vista and Deportenis Cinepolis, and internet: www.eticket.mx

Physicists on Higgs hunt: Nearly there but not yet
WASHINGTON -- Physicists in Italy said Wednesday they are achingly close to concluding that what they found in 2012 was the Higgs boson, the elusive "God particle." They need to eliminate one last remote possibility that it's something else.
The long theorized subatomic particle would explain why matter has mass and has been called a missing cornerstone of physics.
With new analyses, scientists are 99.6 percent certain they found the crucial Higgs boson. But they want to be 99.9 percent positive, said Pauline Gagnon, a physicist with the European Center for Nuclear Research.
In July, scientists with the world's largest atom smasher, the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider on the Swiss-French border, announced finding a particle they described as Higgs-like, but wouldn't say it was conclusively the particle. Now thousands of checks show them even closer.
"It looks more and more like a Higgs boson," said Gagnon after an update presented Wednesday at a conference in the Italian Alps.

Anyone's baby found with a bright spot in the heart? What happened? Positive stories please
I'll join the group as my little man has an EIF found at his 18 week anatomy scan. My perinatologist (who did the scan) says it put my risk of DS at 1%. I'm 32 and we opted only to get the NT scan at 12 weeks which was completely normal. We didn't get the blood work done at that time as I didn't think it would be covered by my insurance and I don't like how it gives you this ratio which freaks more people out. I have no other soft markers or any other visable issues that makes him feel I have a high risk. When I went to my next OB appointment, she told me she gets someone in on a weekly basis saying they saw an EIF on a scan. She has been practicing many years and couldn't recall a single one of those who actually ended up with a DS baby. She won't even recheck a scan because she really isn't concerned at all.
Yes, I will admit it freaked me out, and probably still does to this day, that there is a chance this boy will have DS. Will it change the outcome of having this boy or not, absolutely not. I've considered getting further testing done with M21 but I'm pretty sure it won't be covered under insurance since I'm less than 35 and have no other risks for genetic issues.
I posted the same worry here 4 weeks ago, and the ladies here helped me relax and realize how common it is.

Cycling is very good in Cyprus.There are several good bike trails worth following.A book you can get from CTO(Cyprus Tourist Org) has them listed.These rides are on mountain trails and off road and on road tracks.The Troodos mountains are very good as the scenery is marvelous.You must have a good quality bike with high gears for this mind.You can actually hire such bikes in Troodos.In winter you can ski the Troodos mountains too.From about January to end of March they have snow.Mt Olympus has 4 ski runs which are very popular.

Boating is also big in Cyprus.I saw many boats in Kato Paphos harbour.You could either hire a boat or go on a boat trip with other people.There was a glass bottom boat trip which lasted one hour and cost CY �6.Coral Bay is a great boating spot.A half an hour boat hire in a speed boat will cost around CY �11.It really depends on size of boat etc too.
Diving is another popular sport.The currents around Cyprus are pretty tame and diving is pretty safe.You can go on trips that do diving from resorts and they do courses too.

After they had an offseason of rest, MLB teams hope that their top players can make it thorough spring training without getting hurt. That does not always end up being the case.
Some top players have gotten injured during the spring, and it is possible that they will miss some time at the beginning of the 2012 MLB season.
Other players are trying to work their way back from injuries. Many of these players have remained on track to get back on the field, but others have fallen behind schedule.

The Obama administration plans to send 100 Iraqi and Syrian refugees to Flint, Michigan, in the fiscal year that begins next month on October 1.
But that plan appears to violate a clause in the federal Refugee Act of 1980 which requires the federal government and director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement to consult with local as well as state governments prior to the placement of any refugees within their boundaries.
"At this point it appears city leaders have not been informed of the details regarding this matter," a spokesperson for Mayor Karen Weaver and the city of Flint tells Breitbart News.
It's the same story with the government of Genesee County, in which Flint is located.
"As of this time the Genesee County Board of Commissioners has not been notified of any settlement of 100 refugees from Middle East – South Asia," Jamie Curtis, Chairman of the Genesee County Board of Commissioners, tells Breitbart News through a spokesperson.
Flint, a city of 100,000, is in the midst of a financial and public health crisis due to high levels of lead in its drinking water after a 2014 change in its source from the Detroit Sewage and Water System to the Flint River.
According to this FY 2017 abstract submitted to the Department of State by Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, which operates in Michigan as Samaritas, the resettlement agency plans to bring 100 Iraqi and Syrian refugees to Flint Michigan in the twelve month fiscal year that begins in less than three weeks. The document was obtained in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

One of the most surprising things about looking at that old draft was that the first line of the book...
Condition: Standard
All Product Details
Like everything else, words have their why and wherefores. Some call to us solemnly, arrogantly, giving themselves airs, as if they were destined for great things, and then it turns out that they were nothing more than a breeze too light even to set the sail of a windmill moving, whereas other ordinary, habitual words, the sort you use every day, end up having consequences no one would have dared predict, they weren't born for that and yet they shook the world.
Condemned to wander forever after he kills his brother Abel, Cain makes his way through the world in the company of a personable donkey. He is a witness to and participant in the stories of Isaac and Abraham, the destruction of the Tower of Babel, Moses and the golden calf, the trials of Job. The rapacious Queen Lilith takes him as her lover. An old man with two sheep on a rope crosses his path. And again and again, Cain encounters a God whose actions seem callous, cruel, and unjust. He confronts Him, he argues with Him. "And one thing we know for certain," Saramago writes, "is that they continued to argue and are arguing still."
A startling book — sensual, funny — and in all ways a fitting end to Saramago's extraordinary career.

Mad Stories in Paul Ryan's World
Posted on Mar 16, 2013
By Henry A. Giroux, Truthout
This piece first appeared at Truthout.
The stories we tell about ourselves no longer speak to the ideals of justice, equality, liberty and democracy. Stories that once inspired our imagination now degrade it, treating it largely as a blank screen upon which to write advertisements that reduce our sense of agency to the imperatives of shopping. But these are not the only narratives that diminish the stories that allow us to imagine a better world. We are also inundated with stories that inhabit discourses of cruelty and fear that undermine communal bonds and tarnish any viable visions of the future. Stories that provided a sense of history, social responsibility, and respect for the public good were once told by our parents, churches, synagogues, schools and community leaders. Today, the stories that define who we are as individuals and as a nation are told by a right-wing and liberal media who largely channel the narratives of celebrities, billionaires and ethically frozen politicians who preach the mutually related virtues of the free market and a permanent war economy.
And these stories are all the more powerful because they seem to defy the force of rigorous translation, critical interrogation, and openness as they move almost effortlessly from think tanks and policymakers to the media and educational institutions. Burying alive the conditions of their own making, these stories enshrine both greed and massive disparities in wealth and income and also reproduce the workings of the market as a type of political theology that inscribes a sense of destiny - a tribute to Ayn Rand savagery and Margaret Thatcher's notion that there is nothing beyond individual gain and the values of the corporate order.
Some of these stories are quite familiar and now seem like common fare for market and religious fundamentalists in both mainstream parties: policies that embrace shock-and-awe austerity measures; tax cuts that serve the rich and powerful and destroy government programs that help the poor, elderly and sick; attacks on women's reproductive rights; attempts to suppress voter ID laws and rig electoral college votes; a full-fledged assault on the environment; the destruction of public education, if not critical thought itself; an ongoing attack on unions, on social provisions, and on the expansion of Medicaid and meaningful healthcare reform. These stories are the narratives of the neoliberal and neoconservative walking dead who roam the planet sucking the blood and life out of everything they touch - from the millions killed in foreign wars to the millions incarcerated in our nation's prisons.
All of these stories embody what might be called the swindle of fulfillment. That is, instead of fostering a democracy, they encourage a political and economic system controlled by the rich. Instead of a society that embraces a capacious social contract, they give us a social order that shreds social protections while privileging the wealthy and powerful and inflicting a maddening and devastating set of injuries upon workers, women, poor minorities, immigrants, and low- and middle-class young people. Instead of economic and political stability, they give us uncertainty and precarity, a world turned upside-down in which ignorance becomes a virtue and power a tool for ruthlessness and privilege rather than a resource for the public good. Every once in a while we catch a rather unadorned glimpse of what America has become in the narratives produced by politicians whose arrogance and quests for authority and privilege exceed their willingness to hide the narrow-mindedness, power-hungry interests, cruelty and hardship made clear in the policies they advocate.
Square, Site wide
Paul Ryan's budget plan offers precisely such a narrative for the American public. It is a story that embodies a kind of savage violence that makes clear that those who occupy the bottom rungs of American society - whether they be low-income families, poor minorities of color and class or young failed consumers - are to be considered disposable, removed from ethical considerations and the grammar of human suffering. The outlines of Ryan's budget are quite clear: He and his antediluvian Republican colleagues want to cut spending by $4.6 trillion by 2023. The cuts will fall largely on those individuals and groups who are already suffering, and will thus seriously worsen the lives of those people now hurting the most. The right-wing appeal to job-killing and provision-slashing austerity now functions as a kind of modern-day form of Chinese torture, inflicting a variety of cuts on a myriad of programs that add up to massive human suffering for the many and benefits only for a predatory class of zombie bankers, hedge fund managers, and financial elite that feed off the lives of the disadvantaged. As reported in The New York Times, Ryan's budget eliminates

NEW YORK - The past, present, and future have all converged for the Atlanta Braves as they make the final regular-season road trip of Bobby Cox's 29-year managerial career.
Cox, of course, has been the face of the franchise since 1991, when he took the moribund Braves from a last-place finish the previous season to the first of five World Series appearances in nine years and an unmatched 14 straight division titles.
The Braves, despite a September tailspin that has seen them fall from three games up to three games behind the Phillies in the National League East, still have a chance to give Cox a special send-off that would be even better than the Delta Airlines tribute he received before Thursday's team charter flight from Atlanta to New York.

2014 BAFTA Award predictions
'Gravity,' '12 Years a Slave,' 'Philomena'... what will the Brits go for?
Best Director
Gregory Ellwood, Guy Lodge and Kristopher Tapley predict: Alfonso Cuaron, "Gravity"
Lowdown: It might well be hometown son Steve McQueen, but with 11 nominations, "Gravity" surely has to take at least one of the big ones -- and with DGA and Golden Globe wins (among others) behind him, this is the safest bet. Note that BAFTA splits the Best Film and Director awards more often than the Academy does.
