Tim Franco is a French-Polish photographer based in Shanghai. Since 2005, he has been fascinated by the transformation of Chinese cities. He documents change through urban photography and keeps tuned in with the underground art world and the social implications of urbanization. For the past two years, Franco has been working on a long-term project looking at the fast urbanization in Chongqing.
As its leaders often remind the world, China has twenty-two percent of the world's population, but less than ten percent of its arable land (as much as one fifth of which, it was recently reported, is severely polluted). People find ways to make up for the shortfall. For centuries officials have complained of peasants cultivating marginal lands, and for just as long Chinese farmers have been geniuses of agricultural improvisation, making use of whatever land they could find when they needed it.

April 1944 – Actress Laraine Day poses in Victory Garden cover shot
Actress Laraine Day (1920 – 2007) poses in a gardener's costume while surrounded by various vegetables for the April 1944 issue of PIC magazine, New York. Photo by Transcendental Graphics/Getty Images.
Excerpt from her obituary in the New York Sun (Nov 11, 2007): Laraine Day, 87, Film Actress and 'First Lady of Baseball'
After a quickie Mexican divorce of her first husband in 1947, the Mormon movie starlet married Durocher, the foul-mouthed New York Dodger's skipper who up to that point was despised by all but the team's fans. The pair settled down for a decade or so of married bliss that saw Day, who kept her movie-star name, dubbed by the press "the First Lady of Baseball."
Durocher, in the meantime, incurred further obloquy by bolting the Dodgers mid-season in 1948 for the crosstown rival Giants. Yet the marriage seemed to soften his image as well, especially after Day began broadcasting a pre-game show on WPIX, the Giants' station at that time, in which she focused on players' human side rather than game action. By her own account, the first time Day encountered Durocher, her first question had been, "What is a Dodger?"

Favorite crops grown on the Grange roof year after year
Excerpt from their website:
Salad Mixes
Our greens mix is a fresh blend of spicy mustards, sweet lettuces, bitter chicories, and bright colors. Our signature mixes evolve throughout the year, depending on which leaves prefer cool weather, warm weather, and varying sunlight. Kales, chicories, and spinach survive the winter, and pop up sweet and crisp in the early spring.

As for his own interest in the gardens, for Hirose, they were always a way to meet likeminded people, artists, musicians and other characters, along with the nightclubs in the Lower East Side in the 70s and 80s. They were also a way to enjoy a bit of nature close to home, allowing a brief escape from the crime-ridden streets and graffiti-covered buildings.
However, even as the neighborhood gentrified over the years since then, the volunteer-run gardens still remained a special place to Hirose. A couple of them even had play areas for kids, and he would take his daughter to the gardens when she was younger.

Erica Yoon visited Detroit in October 2012 to investigate urban gardening initiatives for a project as a graduate student in photojournalism at Ohio University. The idea of urban farms popping up amid the chaos in Detroit seemed to be a great way to visualize how people were attempting to weather the economic storm there. She spent ten days meeting people, photographing and trying to parse what she'd read about Detroit from what she was hearing from people on the ground.

From Viva Max Weddings:
This shoot, produced by Viva Max Weddings and Molly Oliver Flowers, celebrates the beauty and abundance of Brooklyn farming while highlighting an amazing wedding look that is bold, rich, lush and of course beautiful. We wanted to show that a farm wedding can be elegant and hip, not just hippie. Viva Max Weddings and Molly Oliver Flowers curated a group of vendors that really embraced this lush feeling and kept things Brooklyn-focused, beautiful and eco-friendly. Les Loups Pictures + Songs captured everyone's immense talent despite the fact that we were hit by numerous torrential rainstorms throughout the day. The images are breathtaking. Paperfinger's hand written calligraphy was sprinkled throughout the shoot. That splash of color and wild feel to her words added so much energy to our look.

What began as book research – to find beautiful and interesting allotments – became a pilgrimage to Britain's top plots
By Lia Leendertz
The Guardian
12 April 2013
Last year Lia Leendertz and Mark Diacono tracked down 30 of the most beautiful and interesting allotments in the country for their new book My Cool Allotment.
The allotmenters on whom photographer Mark Diacono and I eventually settled ran the complete gamut, from the old boys doing things the traditional way – all sharply edged and weed-free beds – to the permaculturists seeking out a new and more sustainable path, with not an inch of bare ground to show for themselves. Each would be horrified by the other's plots, but each starts from the same basic point: the same-sized plot of rented land and a desire to grow. Artists, jam-makers, a prize dahlia grower and a grower of dye plants had all turned their plots to their own particular needs. We found orchards, vineyards, cut flower gardens and national plant collections, all as different as can be, all homed in plots of roughly 10 poles (to use the medieval word that lingers on purely for the measuring of allotments) or about 250 square metres.

Time-lapse film shows a year in a family's food garden
'A Year in the Garden' in Los Angeles
By Brad Hiebert
April 2013
My family was just about to start our first full season in our local community garden when I decided it would be fun to document our growing attempts. Our motivation was simple… grow organic, healthy food… spend time together, teach my daughter where food really comes from, cut our grocery bill. Plus, as I found out, digging in the dirt is very therapeutic. And when it comes to picky kids … If they grow it, they will eat it!

Putting the countryside into the city means changing the city's rhythm to the rhythm of nature
Photo Exhibition and story by Stefanie Fock
Where there is always more bored people waiting for somebody to entertain them in the urban environment; in Barcelona and its surroundings there are a lot of people who create spaces actively to bring nature and knowledge about our food to the city and at the same time they take care of a more healthy and conscious diet. This photo-documentary visualizes the gardens of this city as heterogeneous as its inhabitants and it shows the differences between the reclamation of space and the controlled distribution of parcels by the government.

Obfuscation protects your source code from potential security threats while keeping the application's functionality in place.
By Joydip Kanjilal
Obfuscation is a process that involves converting your source code and data into an equivalent code or format such that it becomes difficult to reverse-engineer it using the decompiler tools without changing any of the application's code or functionality. This article discusses what obfuscation is, what the benefits of obfuscation are, and how you can use obfuscating tools in .NET, Java, and even JavaScript to prevent your code from potential threats.
So you've made your system compliant. Now you're done, right? Wrong!
By Carol Woodbury
Compliance is not a one-time event. Without regularly scheduled reviews, you can fall out of compliance. Let's discuss some of those reviews.
Many laws and regulations require that your security policy be reviewed at least annually....

San Francisco is prepared to handle an earthquake, terrorist attack or other disaster, and an audit released Monday criticizing the agency charged with planning for such catastrophes makes assertions that are "absolutely incorrect," the department's director said.
Office of Emergency Services Director Annemarie Conroy called a news conference "to set the record straight" just hours after the 172-page report by Board of Supervisors Budget Analyst Harvey Rose was released.

Has the preference cascade begun?
As I've been saying for months, the "atmospherics" which surrounded the Obama win in 2008 just don't exist in 2012. They're just not there. The excitement has vanished, the "hope" has been dashed and the "change" – well, it's not at all what those who hung their own meaning on the word thought they'd see.
In other words, the President is and has been in deep electoral trouble for some time. The only thing that has really helped him and propped him up is the media. Many in the media have spent an inordinate time trying to explain away or cover up very serious failings on the part of his administration. The media has also constructed a strawman Mitt Romney which they used to "help' Obama as well.
Two events have sort of tipped the scales against the incumbent, however. The first debate (Romney unfiltered, Obama unenthused) and Benghazi. It is those two events which have, in my opinion (note the word), started the preference cascade toward a Romney win.
Indicators? Well there are quite a few.
One, for instance, is a newspaper endorsement from a very liberal paper. That would be The Tennessean. Why is that significant? Well, as Glenn Reynolds points out, it provides "social permission" to deviate from the Democratic norm. And that sort of permission is necessary to begin a preference cascade. Today the Orlando Sentinal also endorsed Romney. Expect to see more of these sorts of endorsements in the coming days.
Another is found in polls showing the unexpected. For instance, Romney with a chance in PA? Really? Well apparently, if this poll is to be believed, it's more than a chance. And that may have downstream effects if true. Meanwhile, in MO, the odious Todd Aiken has gone ahead of equally odious Democrat Claire McCaskill (great choice you have there, MO). That's important for a very good reason – it has do with enthusiasm and which side appears to have it.
Additionally, both the Romney and Obama campaigns are pulling out of NC. Why? Because it appears the state's results are no longer in doubt. It will not go to Obama this time and, apparently, that's not even iffy. Florida seems to be going that way as well and my guess is VA too.
In OH, coal miners are mad as hell. While that may not put OH in total jeopardy, it doesn't make a state that was comfortably Obama's in 2008 the same in 2012.
Other indicators? How about the defection of this one-time solidly Democratic demographic?
Romney's surging poll numbers in the crucial state of Florida reflect his growing success with Bubbie Molly and her unemployed grandson Adam, who both thought their right hand would wither if it ever pulled the lever for a Republican.
The signs and portents are everywhere, beginning with the special election of a Republican in Anthony Weiner's heavily Jewish, New York congressional district one year ago. Now a startling new poll even has Romney performing the ultimate miracle: the parting of the blue states, winning the Jewish vote by a healthy 44% to 40%!
Florida activist Alan Bergstein described his recent experience advocating for Romney in the Jewish stronghold of Delray Beach. "Of about 100 entering and leaving the Bagel Tree eatery in that plaza, we ran into only two Democrats and loads and loads of Romney supporters. They stopped to talk to us, to congratulate us and to support us with their views of the Ryan/Biden debate. They were militant and fearless."
Why? Well, for every effect there is a cause. In this case, it's pretty clear:
The Democratic Party booing God and Jerusalem: At their national convention, Democratic leaders attempted to do undo the political damage of stripping all mention of God and Jerusalem as Israel's capital from their party platform. But when they asked for a floor vote to add God and Jerusalem to the platform, the delegates loudly booed – three times. As the cameras revealed the hate-filled faces of the jeering delegates, some Jews felt frightened by the ugly scene.
Obama's open contempt for Prime Minister Netanyahu: From the beginning of his presidency, Obama has seemed to enjoy humiliating Israel's elected leader. He walked out on Netanyahu in the White House, claiming he had to eat dinner, and refused to pose for an official photograph with him. Now, as Iran races to complete a nuclear weapon, Obama rejected Netanyahu's request for a meeting in New York, choosing to appear on The View instead. And when Netanyahu spoke at the United Nations, Obama instructed both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN Ambassador Susan Rice not to attend.
Fawning over the Jewish people's enemies: Obama bowed to the Saudi king, gave a high-profile speech in Cairo, apologizing to the Muslim world, and ordered NASA to make "Muslim outreach" its foremost priority. Over the objections of Congress, he gave at least $1.5 billion to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, which advocates for "holy jihad" against Israel. And when Muslim terrorists murdered our Libyan ambassador, Obama responded with a speech at the UN, in which he stated, "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."
Appointment of anti-Semites to high government positions: Obama just appointed a Muslim leader who blames Israel for the 9/11 attacks to serve as US delegate to a Warsaw human rights conference. Salam al-Marayati, president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), openly supports Hizbollah and Hamas. Al-Marayati is only the latest of Obama officials hostile to Israel, including foreign policy advisor Samantha Power and UN Ambassador Susan Rice.
Obama's long association with anti-Semites: Obama spent 20 years in the Chicago church of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who maintains, "The state of Israel is an illegal, genocidal…place." Obama's biggest contributor is George Soros, who is a prime funder of anti-Israel NGOs. And Obama's close association with Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi is still being kept under wraps by the Los Angeles Times, which refuses to release a video of a reportedly inflammatory toast to Khalidi by Obama at a 2003 dinner. Breitbart News is offering a $100,000 reward to anyone with a copy of the tape.
Iran's Growing Nuclear Capabilities: Obama has seemed more interested in deterring Israel from defending itself than in stopping Iran. His Chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff explicitly stated he doesn't want to be "complicit" in an Israeli attack on Iran, implying such an attack would be criminal. Now counter-terrorism expert Reza Kahlili is reporting that Obama's emissaries have struck a secret "October surprise" deal with Iran, in which Iran will announce a halt to their uranium enrichment, in order to enhance Obama's presidential prospects. The deal reportedly was negotiated in Qatar with former Iranian foreign minister Ali Akbar Velyati, who's wanted by Argentina for the Jewish community center bombing in Buenos Aires in 1994 that killed 85 people. If Obama has lost the trust of Jewish voters, they may not dismiss these reports as completely impossible.
That's a very long and compelling list. Long and compelling enough to see a usually reliable demographic begin to seriously question their support for the incumbent.
And other reliable demographics are either deserting Obama or just not very enthused about his re-election.
Indeed, what Obama is facing for the first time in his life is having to live up to his real performance. No excuses. No BS hype and pretending. No Nobel prize his first day in office. He is being judged on performance, merit and judgement. He's apparently being found less that adequate in all three by a huge part of America.
Add to that the fact that he seems to have no discernable plan to alter or correct his deficiencies or those of his administration and policies. That's probably because he doesn't think he has any (remember, he thought he won the first debate). How does one "change" if there's nothing that needs changing?
So, all that being said, it is my opinion (again note the word) while reviewing the evidence at hand that the preference cascade we've talked about for months is beginning if not well underway. Look for a lot of "whistling past the graveyard" as the Obama campaign and their surrogates downplay and ignore the gathering bad news.
But in the meantime, watch the indicators. At the least, they promise an excruciatingly tight vote. And, if they say what I think they're saying, Obama will be back in Chicago on January 21, 2013.
And what a mess the new president will inherit from him.

Another trend…black Christians see the enmity Obama has for their values.
I read something yesterday that showed polling FOR Romney running in the double digits in some states. That would be great on several levels.
"And what a mess the new president will inherit from him." Already, prematurely setting the table for Romney blaming Obama, like Obama blamed Bush, for the state of affairs he inherited, which conservatives claimed to be contemptuous—and now they're planning on using it—instead of taking the action necessary to saving this country. Ridiculous.
As are essentially all your posts.
Everyone here has allowed as how the economy Obama faced WAS bad…four years ago. That does not account for how bad OBAMA has made it since, and at what COSTSSSSSSSS.
And the word is "contemptible", moron.
I'm willing to bet you will be among the loudest whiners when…if…we start to take action to save the country.
As usual, your comments are based on insults and name-calling, rather than factual information.
"instead of taking the action necessary to saving this country. Ridiculous."
No, jackwagon, we're anticipating Romney won't whine excuses for the better part of four years. And if he does, I can guarantee I'll be just as pissed as I am at Obama.
And YOU are already setting the stage for attacking him if unemployment and the other problems don't disappear the afternoon of his inauguration, assuming you give him that long to try and fix things.
And what the HELL would you know about the action necessary to save the country, you're nose is so far up Obama's back end you're looking out through his eyes. Your messiah has been a dismal failure.
and furthermore my allegedly righteous indignation does not excuse my use of "you're" in place of "your" in my insults.
Love your quick correction! Before the grammar police attacked!
I don't make biblical analogies (Messiah). I think they're just shrouded name calling and don't have a place in rational discussion.
It's not necessary for you to call him messiah, actions being louder and all that…
And I didn't think I was shrouding my name calling. I will try and be more overt next time when the mood is upon me.
Yes I do plan on using it. I'll use it to club people like you down like a baby seal. And I'll do it with a sh-t eating grin
Realistically Romney can't blame Obama the way Obama blamed Bush. The MSM won't cover for him.
Bush inherited bad things from Clinton. A recession. A housing bubble that was driven by Clinton administration policies. Perceptions by the bad guys that we would cut and run at teh first pushback (like Clinton did in Somolia) and only bomb ineffectivly at 60,000 ft (like Clinton did in Iraq and Serbia).
The 2008 financial crisis is due to Clinton more then any other POTUS, yet Bush couldn't blame him and didn't try. And frankly, Bush, a bigger man and actual leader unlike Obama, woyuldn't have blamed Clinton if he could.
And has had more class than to comment on Obama blaming him for hangnails.
About a year and half is a reasonable time period to see the beginning of change. I never picked on Obama on the results of his economic failures until about then.
But to maintain that 4 years later we shouldn't see any improvement because of the last guy? Ridiculous.
I fully expect you'll support another switch in the jobs metric. Jobs added per month was great way to fool people who don't realize that you need X-amount of jobs added to tread water because of population growth into thinking any jobs added was positive movement. The switch to Jobs added is such an 'in the tank' maneuver for the media. I'm sure you'll applaud the switch back once Obama is out.
"Jobs added per month was great way to fool people who don't realize that you need X-amount of jobs added to tread water because of population growth into thinking any jobs added was positive movement."
Only works for as long as people like us don't explain it to those who think it's a positive sign. I explain the mechanics every time I get the opportunity and assuming I'm not talking to fact wavers like Erb, I've noted the look of revelation.
All of this on top of a terrible economic 'recovery'. One can go on and on about government statistics and whether or not they are accurate but I would be worried if I were an incumbent facing millions of people who are either unemployed or under employed.
And if Romney uses Obama as an excuse then he'll be shown the door too.
"Indeed, what Obama is facing for the first time in his life is having to live up to his real performance. No excuses. No BS hype and pretending. No Nobel prize his first day in office. He is being judged on performance, merit and judgement. He's apparently being found less that adequate in all three by a huge part of America."
but we all know the only reason we're not voting for him is because we're racists. Screw that Martin Luther King "content of their character" thing…. I mean, we could never make a rational decision based on the man's performance alone.
The "Cascade" effect is right in front of our faces, if we choose to recognize them. Use your own eyes to see:
Any Obama/Biden stickers on the cars today? This time in 2008, you would be surrounded by them if you were on virtually any road in America.
Obama/Biden yard signs? Same thing – in 2008 there were 14 such signs in my small neighborhood. Today, none. I will repeat that, NONE!
In 2008 I received an average of 2 phone calls a day during the month of October from local volunteers urging me to vote Obama. I have yet to receive a single phone call.
In 2008, no less than 8 people knocked on my door for Obama. This year not a one.
And more importantly, no less than 8 diehard Democrats among family and friends, people who voted deleriously for Obama in 2008, have tod me they will vote for Romney this year. And I cannot number the people I know who voted for him that have indicated they may not even vote this year.
In four cities in the past three weeks, I've seen pretty much the same thing. And two of those states were Iowa and Pennsylvania.
Even here in California I've been seeing as many R/R stickers as O/B ones. Of course, teh stupid in this state burns with the fiery heat of 10,000 suns, so it'll still wind up in the D column, but it's nice (and surprising) to see.
My lefty MiL probably won't bother to vote this cycle. She has stated she won't vote for Obama, or Romney.
Not sure about my lefty BiL, but I doubt he will expend much energy towards that end.
My wife and I have already mailed in our ballots. Both of us voted Romney/Ryan.
It would be nice to see a Reagan/Mondale class sweep wouldn't it?
Well durn (hats off) Big Tex caught fire and burned y'all.
I know, I know, off topic again.
We'll remake him bigger than ever. Can't keep a good Texan down for long.
"We can rebuild him. We have the technology….we can build him stronger…faster…"
If Obama scares some died in the wool democrat Jews to vote for Romney, well, it will have far reaching consequences because once you pull that switch for another party it becomes easier to do it again.
After a lifetime of voting for and supporting Democrats — and even declining appointment to the U.S. Senate from a Democratic governor — Lee Iacocca Thursday endorsed Republican Mitt Romney for president.
The Chicago Jewish Star an independent twice-monthly general interest Jewish newspaper wrote an editorial endorsing Governor Romney over their Hometown President Barack Obama.
"It is not only that Mr. Obama thus deserves to be a one-term proposition; it is that Mr. Romney is simply the better bet for our country." writes the Chicago Jewish Star.
After nearly four years of economic stagnation, massive unemployment, record-setting debt and government intrusions into the economy that have paralyzed the private sector, the United States needs a new direction. For this reason, The Dispatch urges voters to choose Republican Mitt Romney for president in the Nov. 6 election.
In 2008, The Dispatch warned of the problems that would result if Barack Obama were chosen as president. Noting the scant experience that Obama offered the nation in 2008 — eight unremarkable years in the Illinois Senate and less than one term in the U.S. Senate — the newspaper said:
"A resume containing so little evidence of leadership and accomplishment leaves in question Obama's ability to handle the most responsible and difficult job in the world, especially at a time when the nation faces a combination of problems so large and complex that they would challenge even the most seasoned leader."
Four years later, the nation is in the grip of the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression.
And for SEVERAL reasons, IT CANNOT GET BETTER under these conditions. Pure cause >>> effect.
I had my first inkling of what was to come on April 15, 2009. On that day I saw the first spontaneous political gathering in my almost 70 years. Then came the elections in VA, NJ and MA, the townhalls, 2010. I have been saying for almost two years now that Obama and the Democrats were headed for the ash heap – nay, the funeral pyre – of history.
I saw just today that Romney is farther ahead in the polls at this point than Carter (1976), Reagan (1980), Bush I (1988), Clinton (1992) and Bush II (2000). I don't know how much time I have left, but I feel better about the future my children and their children now.
Keep in mind that it might be difficult for Romney to fix our economy, No need to blame anyone – just a fact that there are so many problems and not much time and political capital to fix them all. Especially once the press gets back to its normal duty.
Yes. This is why I can't get that excited about the election either way. I've long maintained that Romney is a casting-call perfect scapegoat for a financial meltdown. If it happens on his watch, all you'll hear from the media is how it is his fault and the fault of those wicked Republicans in Congress. The Democrat's prolifigacy, intellectual bankruptcy, arrogance, corruption, and disconnection from reality will be utterly ignored.
It will be seen as one more crisis not to waste – if your goal is to get the left in power and keep them there. If the media has their way, the next financial crisis will be painted by the narrative as the fault of the GOP and proof that the GOP is unfit to run the country. Which they sorta are, even though the Democrats are worse; the media will no doubt try to build some narrative of a "new breed" of Democrats who can ride to the rescue of the country.
I admit to some pleasure (I started to say "guilty pleasure", but to be honest I feel no guilt over it) at the wailing and gnashing of teeth of clueless leftists. I'll be in Europe election night, so I'll be scouring blogs and YouTube the next day for the clips showing those long faces and somber pronouncements. I remember when I watched Dan Rather with a lemon-sucking face pronounce that George Bush was easily re-elected in 2004. And Peter Jennings. And the rest of the lefty media, who just could not believe their vaunted Kerry got whomped by the chimp from Texas.
I'm expecting even more of that. The media is ten times as invested in Obama as they have been in any previous Democrat. I'm a student of body language, and they'll be providing plenty of examples to study that night.
They don't just capitalize on crises. They have plans in place to capitalize on whichever outcome happens. A Romney victor won't be moped about long. They'll move to stories about vote fixing. Or, if there is not enough evidence of that to get traction, they'll talk about voter ID laws disenfranchising voters. Elements of these stories will be started even before the voting polls close.
The question becomes, has the media so thoroughly demonstrated it's in ability to tell the truth that the only people who will believe it will be the people who would have voted for Obama even if he declared he was Lenin re-incarnate come back to lead us to socialist paradise.
The little dog didn't accidentally pull the curtain aside to reveal them this time, they pulled it aside themselves and played a trumpet fanfare to boot in case people might not notice. There hasn't been a media so in the tank for a candidate, and so blatant about it, in my life time.
Look at the surveys, people finally noticed. Good luck to them trying to sell another assault on the Republicans AND staying in business too.
"The economy" is WAY too generic (I use it too).
On the optimistic side of things, business growth (both in terms of numbers and expansions) will start the day after the election, and strongly ramp up thereafter UNLESS…
our political office holders fail to effectively control spending AND…
produce a plan to EFFECTIVELY curtain entitlements, OR…
the regulatory behemoths inflated by Obama are not brought to heal or dismantled. (Or there is a melt-down globally, or our lose money comes home to roost in the form of very high inflation).
SOME states are going to have to eat the consequences of bad blue model policies, and they should be made to eat them without Federal intervention. That will be hard on folks, but best in the long run, and there are things we as individuals can do to ease hardship.
There should be a market economics renaissance in the U.S., and people like us are going to have to lead it and propel it.
I also think it high time we addressed the Fed, and either re-tasked it or killed it off…after "uneasing" the money supply.
On the plus side, he may have enough experience to know what he is doing, and rolling back regulations is in someways easier than slowly making thousands of them over 4 years. (Slowly, as in roll out time, not speed of overall production.)
Gas and Oil he already has planned and that's a no-brainer and should be fast.
Tax reform should require horse trading but could be implemented qucikly – the plan of capping deductions is a fast way to do that, though I don't actually like it in principle.
I hope that any tax reform is an intermediate step toward a complete revolution in our Federal tax system, to include repeal of the 16th. THAT would be a HUGE step on so many levels, taking us to a more Constitution-based republic.
Maybe a cap is a good idea from another perspective…it would allow politicians to endlessly create new tax breaks for people but have less actual impact as the cap is in place. The Cat Fanciers can get a break on cat food, but it won't matter….perfect feel-good politics,
Another indicator (of unknown value): Take a look at Amazon's Heat Map, which tracks the books Americans are reading (per Amazon sales):
Only a week or so ago, there was a lot more blue on the map and, although "red" books were in the majority, they hadn't broken into the 60% bracket. Now the map is nearly solid red and pink. Very comforting!
And look in the right margin at the sales reports for books by the two presidential candidates and the two VP candidates. In both cases, the Republican candidates have gained a lot of ground in the past week. I wouldn't swear to a specific number in a court of law, but I believe Obama's book has dropped 10% in the past week.
Interesting point. And like anything else, the closer to the election we get, the more that kind of result reflects what people are likely to do in the voting booth.
I like these sort of indicators because they can't be gamed, or to be precise, they are very difficult and expensive to game. Even InTrade can be gamed, and for trivial amounts of money in the context of a billion dollar campaign. Amazon does the best job of any of the tech companies of sitting above the political fray, so these results should be untainted.
Bruce; Consider a subset, for discussion… the most recent "Town Hall" where we had a number of supposedly "undecided" voters, who all seemed to tilt left in their questions of the candidates.
There are some who suggest this is because these were plants, but that assumes a level of smarts on the part of Candy Crowley unsupported by decades of watching her in action. (And by the way, if the left is going to circle the wagons around Crowley, they're gonna need a lot more wagons…)
There's only one logical answer for what we saw that night… All these undecideds, were actually former Obama voters who cannot stomach the idea of supporting the re-election of what they've seen the last four years, even though they've yet to determine in their own minds precisely what went wrong. They recognize Obama is a failure of epic proportions…. Even by the standards of the left. Trouble is, they haven't figured out yet that the problem is leftist/socialist policy and that Obama is merely rather grotesque symptom of the problem, not the cause.
That said, that shift I think is emblematic of the shift we're seeing in the poll data. I do not think this is a long term shift away from leftism, alas, but a recognition of the failures of Obama… if not a recognition of why he failed.
I suppose it will be enough to put re-election out of reach, but we're going to be having the same arguments again in four years, particularly since, as I've commented before, in Romney we have someone who speaks Conservatism as a second language.
Eric, remember the venue…New York. These were Left-leaning people from a Leftist population. And some WERE plants, which has just been sort of a tradition with these "town hall" affairs.
Possibly, but I doubt we'll ever really know.
Still, if one is undecided at this stage of the game, this far along, one there is no way they're anything but Obama voters questioning the wisdom of their last vote. And the polling data I've seen that addresses former Obama voters tends to support this idea.
And after all, the number of former Obama voters would tend to be very high, in any event, given the wild swing from the 08 voter tallies.
Malkin pretty much proved there were plenty of plants in the one of those townhall debates.
When you control the venue, how hard is it to control who gets in.
You can control it on both sides of the equation, who applies, and who's selected.
Let's get real, there's no media bias? there's no voter fraud? right? So when we say there weren't a pretty fair number of plants there, we can't possibly be right and we're participating in conspiracy theory? Yeah, damned right we are, and with good reason.
Were a fair number of plants, not weren't – where's my morning wake up juice.
The problem with the debates is entirely the biases of the "moderators". They are all old white DC liberals and their performances show that as did the questioners that Crowley choose for the townhall debate. It is entirely shameful that this mess happens every election season, heck, it even happened at some of the Republican debates. I would have preferred the reporter form Univision! If fact, why not a Spanish translated debate? Romney's son could translate.
Dang it FROM not FORM!
Obama isn't going back to Chicago! Oh, no. It's too cold there, and there is too much crime. Not to mention that some folks might actually expect him to help them out, the way they helped him. He has bought a nice home in Hawaii; perhaps even a home that was used to film part of an episode on Hawaii Five-O. Maybe Michelle will be happy there, but I doubt she has the capacity to be happy or grateful.

Yes downhill is right :) It's a shame to see characters who spice up the screen and can bring a lot of exciting stuff being wasted on stories and characters who add nada. Maybe it's because it's a Daytime soap and an ensemble cast everyone must have their screen time and so on. Whatever as long they can not create and write interesting characters so it will only go downhill. No wonder people abandon Daytime soaps.

Poor Lucas, he has to be the most put upon guy in Salem. Not only does he have a ruthless and crazy mother he also has been used over and over by Sami yet still manages to be the only person either one can depend on to forgive and overlook their long list of transgressions. Both have sabotaged every relationship he's ever been in without a care for him or his happiness but he's there for them when they screw up their own lives. I would love to see Lucas stand up to those two bitches once and for all and really mean it.

Wait a minute, Kate is his mother and Lucas have well still a soft spot for Sami? and one more thing Lucas is barely on screen? this happening is not likely. I would definitely think it was cool to see more Lucas on stage but apparently Days has a love affair with Daniel and Jennifer and so on which is laughable because they are not a kind of characters that I think should be on 24/7 but this is only my opinion.
|Aug 7 2014, 07:59 AM Post #154
I agree that we don't see enough of Lucas but I wish when he does have a story that it wasn't to have his heart stomped upon by Sami or by some scheme his mother cooked up. I want to see him find someone and have a relationship that his mother or Sami can't destroy. If Sami goes sucking up to him like she did Rafe, I want Lucas to rip into her and walk away from her for good. Take Allie while he's at it, the forgotten child.

An embarassment of riches.Thanks for the link.I think palazzo pants were in in the 1980s or 1990's,I can't remember.I didn't know they were making a comeback.What was old is new again.

Of course they did. Sami is running around in the ugliest dress in existence and Will generally wears the ugliest shirt in existence, so Abby gets the ugliest pants this week.
Who will get the privilege next week? Tune in to see. ;)

text: The design of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and other HOV facilities depends on volumes of HOVs expected to use the facilities. Currently, there is no good method for predicting vehicle occupancy on specific highway facilities. The basic objective of this research was to incorporate the best of previous transportation models with new information on psychological and demographic determinants of mode choice into a model that forecasts vehicle occupancy for specific highway facilities. In order to do this, four different data sets were investigated. Each one allowed the investigation of one or more aspects of a comprehensive model to forecast vehicle occupancy. The basic approach tested in this research was the "integrated model of consumer choice," first proposed by Tybout and Hauser in 1981. It incorporates a wide variety of factors involved in transportation decision-making. Most of the findings from the four data sets analyzed for this study were consistent with the literature and with each other. The research concluded that, in order for a transportation model to adequately forecast vehicle occupancy, it should take into account that 1) mode choice changes over time, 2) attitudes and perceptions are important in mode choice, 3) attitudes and perceptions can be influenced by experience, 4) household composition is important, 5) commute length varies by type of job and location, 6) constraints influence the process in complicated ways, and 7) two person carpools are different from larger carpools. The dynamic aspects of mode choice are critical to understand. Until we have more good time series data and the ability to adequately understand it, our models of mode choice and vehicle occupancy will be deficient.

sunil|November 16 2012 |Product Launch, New Product, Mobile OS, Mobile Browsers, Mozilla
Today, the Firefox OS team launched Firefox OS Simulator. It is a Firefox add-on to run on Mac, Linux and Windows.
After the installation is done the OS simulator will automatically keep updates with the latest snapshots from the Boot to Gecko (B2G) project. This is meant for those developers who want to work on apps for the new system, and don't mind using an obsolete version. The Firefox OS Simulator is the easiest way to try out Firefox OS apps.
Unlike other simulators, Mozilla confirms that the Firefox OS Simulator does not create a virtual computer, but instead the add-on essentially brings B2G Desktop, a version of the operating system-to the browser.
Mozilla expects to release version 1.0 of the simulator very early. At present it is version 0.7. The main object the team envisages by its version 1.0 is to make it simple to run B2G and install apps that one is working on.
If you are a developer, you can have a look to the updates through Firefox OS Simulator, and also share some usefulness of it here in the below comment section.

The definition for a function being continuous at a point is obviously well known: Given there exists such that
But assume we use the following "definition"; Given there exists such that .
Where does this fail in implying continuity, how is this insufficient to showing that the implication:if , then holds (which is the sequential definition of continuity)?
Well, the only method I could see working is that if that definition worked, then it's negation must always be false, that: given , there exists such that and must always be false. If I can find a case where the negation is true, then obviously the negation is not always false and therefore the new definition cannot imply continuity. But that is as far as I have gotten so far.
Or I guess the new definition just shows that if , then but then I'd just have to show that that is not equivalent to if , then but I do not know how to go about that exactly.

Mostly Ballads
Jazz Karma Records
Ronnie Wells' warm contralto and sophisticated choice of material, ably supported by the lyrical technique and arrangements of her husband, pianist Ron Elliston, has been a well-appreciated fixture for 20 years on the Washington, D.C. jazz scene, with frequent overseas appearances.
"Friends" on the '91 recording, Mostly Ballads, includes perfect support by James King, bass, and Mike Smith, drums. Person's tenor sax is heard to fine effect on three tracks, including "I'm Confessin'" and the bluesy "Come On Home." The tempos are ballad grooves (a few seem draggy) on rich old standards like "Blue Gardenia" (revived in The Bridges of Madison County). Meriting a reprise is the 1954 song, "Wild Is the Wind," by movie composer Dimitri Tiomkin, with lyrics by Ned Washington. My favorite is George and Ira's "Isn't It A Pity"-a complete winner of a song, delivered with clear diction and fine musicianship.

MUNICH (AP) – Bayern Munich needs a victory over BATE Borisov to guarantee itself a first-place finish in Group F of the Champions League and to avenge an unexpected loss.
Bayern's 3-1 loss to the Belarus champions in Minsk means the German powerhouse and last season's runner-up has to wait until the final round of group games on Wednesday to secure first place. Valencia travels to Lille needing a better result than Bayern to win the group.
Both Bayern and Valencia are sure to advance and both have 10 points but Bayern has a better head-to-head record. BATE Borisov is sure to finish third and move into the Europa League.
Bayern will be without central defender Holger Badstuber, who tore right-knee ligaments in the 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
''We'll do ourselves all a favor if we win this game,'' Bayern midfielder Thomas Mueller said.
Group winners could end up getting a relatively easier opponent in the knockout stage and have the advantage of playing the second leg at home.
Bayern is leading the Bundesliga by eight points and is playing an impressive season, so coach Jupp Heynckes is trying to prevent his players form underestimating the Belarusian champions.
''BATE sounds like a team you should beat by 5-0,'' Bayern midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger said.
But Bayern will know better after losing away.
Heynckes also will be without forward Arjen Robben, who is still recovering from a muscle tear. The coach may decide to rest one or two stars but he is unlikely to take a big risk by resting most of his first-choice players.
Valencia parted company with coach Mauricio Pellegrino on Dec. 1, appointing Ernesto Valverde until the end of the season. Salvador Gonzalez will take charge of the team at Lille.
Pellegrino paid the price for the club's worst league start since 1999-2000.
Saturday's 0-0 home draw with Bastia was Lille's third straight league game without a win and left coach Rudi Garcia feeling frustrated with his misfiring forwards. Nolan Roux is the club's top scorer this season with only four goals in all competitions, followed by winger Dimitri Payet and forward Salomon Kalou with three each.
''We have to be much better in the danger zone and with our movement,'' Garcia said. ''We have to be more deadly in front of goal and show more desire and determination. Let's keep some energy so that we don't make the same slow start on Wednesday.''
Garcia has to decide whether to stick with his regular forwards or give Gianni Bruno another go in attack after he followed up his goal against BATE with another strike in the midweek League Cup win, again versus Bastia.
