Eureka! Stimulus works! The first $1 billion allocated to "cash for clunkers" rebates apparently helped boost car sales by more than 250,000 vehicles, bringing some much-needed cheer to depressed auto showrooms. So Congress added $2 billion to the program, which by extrapolation could increase sales by more than 750,000 units overall. Carmakers are gleeful. And the Obama administration finally has some concrete evidence that extravagant government spending occasionally moves the needle.
But the buying spree, fueled by government rebates of up to $4,500, may not be quite the economic boost it appears to be on the surface. And there will probably be some of those pesky unintended consequences. Here are a few reasons that cash for clunkers is likely to look a lot less successful when seen in the rearview mirror. (more)

David Cameron's renegotiation is going well, then. He hasn't started formal talks on new terms of British membership of the European Union, because renegotiation is Conservative Party policy not government policy, but an important preliminary takes place this week. EU leaders meet to choose a new President of the European Commission, and that seems to have gone wrong for Cameron. No 10 now says it is "unlikely that Jean-Claude Juncker will not win".
The change of tune from a couple of weeks ago is remarkable. Then, we were told that Cameron had stopped Juncker, painted as the anti-reform candidate, and that he was winning the big debates about Europe's future. Not only that, but the Tories had turned back the Ukip advance at home by holding on to a seat in a by-election for the first time in government for 25 years.
I had assumed that Cameron had firm understandings with enough leaders to constitute a blocking minority in the choice of Jose Manuel Barroso's successor. Why would he have been so emphatic otherwise? Yet when Ben Bradshaw, the Labour MP, asked ironically at Prime Minister's Questions how his campaign to stop Juncker was going, Cameron pointed out that Labour didn't want "this person" as Commission President either, and declared: "I do not mind how many people on the European Council disagree with me; I will fight this right to the very end."
The change from "I'm winning because I'm right" to "I'm losing but I'm right" had Tory MPs cheering and waving their order papers, but it is ominous for Cameron's plan for a referendum in 2017. It may be that there is still a chance of blocking Juncker, and that Cameron has calculated that, by publicly challenging other leaders who have obviously said different things in private, he could still defeat the federalist bogey, while earning points for putting up a good fight if he loses. It also increases the chances of a better deal for Britain in the haggling over other EU posts and what not. But it must make working with the Commission more difficult.
More significantly, though, it means that Cameron has misread Angela Merkel, his most important ally. After the European election, he warned her that choosing Juncker would make it harder for him to win his referendum. Contrary to what she thought, this was not a "threat" to leave, explained one adviser: "He wants European leaders to understand quite how deep Eurosceptic feeling is in Britain." But they seem ready to ignore him anyway.
There are enough flaws in the renegotiation plan already. Renegotiation may be what the British electorate want – the middle way between staying in the EU come what may and leaving – but it looks more and more like the cosmetic renegotiation secured by Harold Wilson for his referendum in 1975, which will make it harder to win.
Another problem is that, if Cameron is still in coalition with the "party of in" after the election, it would be hard to agree a joint negotiating posture with Nick Clegg. A referendum would not be an obstacle to a renewed coalition, Clegg has already hinted, but he made the mistake in his debate with Nigel Farage of saying the EU in 10 years' time would be "quite similar to what it is now".
Even if Cameron were to win his own majority next year, there is a problem with the main question of substance.
This was set out with stark clarity by George Osborne, the Chancellor, in a speech in January: "If we cannot protect the collective interests of non-eurozone member states then they will have to choose between joining the euro, which the UK will not do, or leaving the EU."
The main aim of Cameron and Osborne's negotiation would be to stop EU business being decided automatically by the eurozone. The voting rules will change in 2016, giving euro countries the power under qualified majority voting to outvote the non-euro members. Cameron and Osborne want a "double majority" system that would give a majority of euro countries or a majority of non-euro countries the right to block proposals.
This sounds reasonable, except that Andrew Lilico of Europe Economics has pointed out a problem: five more countries plan to adopt the euro by 2020, starting with Lithuania in January. Even if that timetable slips a few years, that would leave only Poland, Sweden, Denmark and Bulgaria with the UK in the non-euro club, with just under a quarter of the EU's population.
Given that the UK has an eighth of the EU population, we alone would constitute a majority of the non-euros, which would imply that we alone would have a veto over everything. It is hard to see our Junckerised partners agreeing to that.
Cameron often scoffs at people who said it would be "impossible" for him to veto the banking treaty, or to block the rise in the EU's budget, which he thinks were his finest hours on the Continent so far, but negotiating new terms of UK membership is a quite different kind of "impossible".

Openbox | |
Screenshot with Mozilla Firefox, Exaile and Obconf open and Thunar rolled up.
| |
Developer | Dana Jansens[1] |
Latest version | 3.6.0 (from March 3, 2015) |
First released | 2002 |
Genre | Window Manager |
License | GNU General Public License |
Website | openbox.org |
Openbox is a free window manager for the X Window System, licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Openbox was originally derived from Blackbox 0.65.0, but has been totally rewritten in the C programming language and since version 3.0 is not based upon any code from Blackbox.[2]
Openbox is designed to be small, fast, and fully compliant with the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM) and Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH). It supports many features such as menus by which the user can control applications or which display various dynamic information.
The primary author of Openbox is Dana Jansens of Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.[1]
Using Openbox
Openbox allows a right-click (or any other bind) "root menu" on the desktop, and allows users to configure the way windows are managed. When a window is minimized it becomes invisible. To bring windows up again most use Alt+Tab or the Desktop menu, accessible from the right-click (or, again, any other bind the user wants) menu. Extending Openbox with other small programs that add icons, taskbars, launchers, eyecandy and others is common.
There are only two configuration files located in ~/.config/openbox
. They are named menu.xml
and rc.xml
If users do not want to edit them by hand, they can do most of the configuration with an easy-to-use tool called ObConf.[3]
All mouse and keyboard bindings can be configured. For example, if a user wants a window to go to desktop 3 when the close button is clicked with the middle mouse button, the user can do this trivially. Scrolling on the icon to move to the next/previous desktop and raising or not raising when clicking/moving a window is fully configurable.
Unique features
Openbox's menu system has a method for using dynamic menus. This is done by accepting the output of a script and using that output as the source for a menu. Each time the user points his or her mouse at the sub-menu, the script is re-run and the menu is regenerated. This capability allows users and software developers more flexibility than the standard static menus found in most other window managers.
For instance, two developers wrote a script in Python that lists a user's new Gmail messages in a sub-menu.

A frustrated White House said Republicans on Capitol Hill were guilty of "crazy" and "juvenile" political posturing as they prepared to push through a bill designed ostensibly to end America's debt crisis, but only for six months. It would guarantee a replay of the stand-off at the end of this year.
With America days away from being unable to pay all its bills, the House of Representatives was mulling a bill drafted by the speaker, John Boehner, that would authorise raising the country's debt limit by $900bn (£550m) now while cutting spending by $917bn. It was likely to pass, but by a wafer-thin margin. While optimists predicted the bill would at least loosen the log-jam on the issue, the law itself was likely to be voted down in the Senate, where Democrats have crafted an alternative bill that would raise the debt ceiling further to ensure liquidity until 2013, beyond next year's presidential election.
The disdain for the Boehner approach was on full display in the White House even before it came to a vote. "It's just crazy," said spokesman Jay Carney, arguing that Mr Boehner needed to compromise with Democrats for the good of the country. He characterised right-wing Republicans as wanting to push the country into default and "stick it to the president". That, he said, was "really, incredibly juvenile."
Democrat Senator Mark Warner, one of the bi-partisan "Gang of Six" in the Senate who may yet be called upon to help forge a compromise before the 2 August deadline, when the money runs out, also scorned the short-termism of Boehner's approach, warning it would lead to a downgrade of US debt.

Hadith of Umar's ban on hadith
This article contains too many or too-lengthy quotations for an encyclopedic entry. (March 2008) |
Quranism |
Movements |
Related topics |
Some recorded oral tradition among Muslims (Arabic: hadith) is about Umar the second Caliph of Rashidun Caliphate, who ruled from 634 to 644 CE, and his ban on hadith.
Although the narration is prominently quoted and referred to, it is not given any formal name, in contrast to other hadith such as the Hadith of the pond of Khumm or the Hadith of Qur'an and Sunnah.
Sunnis believe that the Prophet Muhammad himself proclaimed that no hadith were to be recorded,[dubious ] to ensure that people would not confuse any hadith with the Qur'an. This decision of Muhammad was rescinded later in his ministry. During Umar's reign as Caliph, hadith were in fact being recorded.[1][2]
On the other hand, some sources dispute this account, and claim that it was Umar himself who was the first person to ban hadith collection - a view also upheld by Shias. Certainly during his rule Umar strictly followed the policy of banning the hadith [3] and he prohibited reporting [4] and transmission [5] of hadith altogether. Whenever he sent a group to a city, he would prohibit them from narrating hadith. [6]
This ban continued through the caliphate of the khulafa' rashidun into the Umayyad period and did not cease until the period of Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz, who ruled from 717 to 720 CE. [7]
Mainstream Muslim view[edit]
Muslims view this hadith as notable and important on several accounts: several prominent persons are mentioned in the hadith and several controversial issues are dealt with.
Sunni view[edit]
" | Umar ibn al-Khattab once tried to deal with the problem of committing the Hadith to writing. The companions of the Prophet whom he consulted, encouraged him, but he was not quite sure whether he should proceed. One day, moved by God's inspiration, he made up his mind and announced: "I wanted to have the traditions of the Prophet written down, but I fear that the Book of God might be encroached upon. Hence I shall not permit this to happen." He, therefore, changed his mind and instructed the Muslims throughout the provinces: "Whoever has a document bearing a prophetic tradition, shall destroy it." The Hadith, therefore, continued to be transmitted orally and was not collected and written down until the period of al-Mamun.[8] | " |
" | Abu-Dhahabi reports: The Caliph Abu-Bakr compiled a work, in which there were 500 traditions of the Prophet, and handed it over to his daughter 'Aishah. The next morning, he took it back from her and destroyed it, saying: "I wrote what I understood; it is possible however that there should be certain things in it which did not correspond textually with what the Prophet had uttered."
As to Umar, we learn on the authority of Ma'mar ibn Rashid, that during his caliphate, Umar once consulted the companions of the Prophet on the subject of codifying the Hadith. Everybody seconded the idea. Yet Umar continued to hesitate and pray to God for a whole month for guidance and enlightenment. Ultimately, he decided not to undertake the task, and said: "Former peoples neglected the Divine Books and concentrated only on the conduct of the prophets; I do not want to set up the possibility of confusion between the Divine Qur'an and the Prophet's Hadith." [9] |
" |
Shi'a view[edit]
Ali Asgher Razwy, a 20th century Shi'a Islamic scholar writes:
" | Muhammad, the Apostle of God, had expressed the wish, on his deathbed, to write his will, and as noted before, Umar had thwarted him by shouting that the Book of God was sufficient for the Muslim umma, and that it did not need any other writing from him.
Umar, it appears, actually believed in what he said, viz., a will or any other writing of the Prophet was redundant since Qur'an had the ultimate answers to all the questions. And if any doubts still lingered in anyone's mind on this point, he removed them when he became khalifa. Muhammad lived in the hearts of his companions and friends. After his death, they wished to preserve all their recollections of his life. These recollections were of two kinds - his words and his deeds. The two together formed his Sunnah (the trodden path). Anything he said, and was quoted by a companion, is called a hadith or 'tradition.' But Umar did not want the companions to preserve any recollection of the words and the deeds of the Prophet. He, apparently, had many reservations regarding the usefulness, to the Muslim umma, of these recollections. He, therefore, forbade the companions to quote the sayings of the Prophet in speech or in writing. In other words, he placed the Hadith of the Prophet under a proscription.[1] |

The Vanished Empire Tries Coming of Age in 70's Moscow
Moscow, 1973: Not a wild and swingin' era, but veteran director Karen Shakhnazarov attempts the standard coming-of-ager anyway. Unable to take his Marxist history classes seriously, Sergey (Aleksandr Lyapin) runs around picking up girls, while rocker pal Kostya (Ivan Kupreyenko) introduces him to weed, and their mutual, homely friend, Stepan (Yegor Baranovsky), does nothing in particular except be the third point of a love triangle with Sergey and his girlfriend, Lyuda (Lidiya Milyuzina). Most of The Vanished Empire's appeal (as its title less suggests than shouts) is its evocative production design and some unique Brezhnev-era set pieces: When Sergey wants to buy a Pink Floyd record for Lyuda, he heads to a park where nervous young men sell their pop music "contraband" in hushed voices. But the dead-end on-again, off-again courtship between Sergey and Lyuda bores (there's no reason for the unstoppable horndog to worry so much about his obviously nonexistent future with a girl who has her shit together), and their standard adolescent travails take up most of the screen time.

Facts and Events
Sir Philip Carteret, FRS (1641 – 1672), was son of Sir George Carteret. Philip was elected Fellow of the Royal Society on 15 February 1665. He married Jemima Montagu, daughter of Edward Montagu, 1st Earl of Sandwich, in an arranged marriage on 31 July 1665. Samuel Pepys had a hand in the marriage and wrote of it at some length in his diary. Jemima had only known of Philip some fourteen days before their marriage. It is noted that Jemima failed to arrive in time for the ceremony at the church. Philip was father of four children, including George Carteret, 1st Baron Carteret. Knighted in 1667, he became Gentleman of the King's Chamber in 1670. Philip died along with his father-in-law the Earl of Sandwich when their ship, the Prince Royal, was grappeled by a Dutch fire ship in the Battle of Solebay.

A 31 to 17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs was just what the doctor ordered. was so many positive things to take away from the game. I saw Sam Bradford look more like the franchise quarterback he was drafted to be. I saw the offensive line block defenders for over two seconds, and I saw the receivers make plays. That's just the offense, the defense looked solid as expected and Robert Quinn looks so ready to explode on the scene and be a premier pass rusher. Several times I saw Quinn be so close to getting the quarterback time and time again. But back to the offense: Bradford went 6 of 9 close to last games completion percentage except this time is was for 102 yards and 2 touchdowns. From the first deep completion of the game to Danny Amendola it was obvious Bradford looked sharp and poised for a good game. The offensive line improved dramatically from week 1, with great run blocking and much improved pass blocking. I still believe Barry Richardson should not be starting over Jason Smith, Richardson looks over-matched over a right tackle, while Smith seems to be holding his own.
-Other observations:
- Daryl Richardson has speed and quickness, he needs to make the team as the number 3 back
- Joe Long looks very solid on the line in the 2nd half
- Jemelle Cudjo was extremely good against the run and better against the pass
