For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that V/H/S is a horror anthology film that's dedicated to the concept of shooting quickly and simply on home video, so almost all of the segments are shown from the point of view of a character with a camera of some sort. There's lots of graphic horror violence, with plenty of slashing, slicing, gore, and dead bodies, as well as spooky stuff. There's also some nudity (breasts, bottoms), sex, and heavy innuendo. Characters also drink heavily, snort cocaine, and smoke pot, and language is very strong, with many uses of "f--k," "s--t," and more. There will be no keeping teen horror fans away, but it's recommended for 17 and up.
- Sexual Content
- Several young men bring two drunken women back to their hotel room with the express purpose of having sex. One woman passes out in the midst of foreplay, and one of the men starts to have sex with the other; it's interrupted when she turns into a murderous beast. The vampire girl is shown almost fully naked. Viewers also see clips from a homemade sex tape that's been recorded over, with nudity. (The woman doesn't know she's being filmed.) A team of pranksters pulls a girl's top off and films it for posting on the Internet. One breast is shown several times. A married couple tries to seduce each other in a hotel room. Also other examples of topless females, naked male behinds, and strong innuendo.
- Violence
- A girl turns into a monster and attacks a roomful of young men. Though much of the biting and slashing takes place off screen, some of it is visible, and the bloody aftermath is shown in full view. A character is stabbed in the throat with a knife (complete with gurgling blood). An arm is broken, with bone protruding. A girl digs around in her forearm with a sharp instrument while trying to remove a foreign object. And lots more stabbing, slicing, dead bodies, severed body parts, blood, and gore. Also vandalism.
- Language
- Extremely strong language throughout includes "f--k," "motherf---er," "s--t," "t-ts," "hell," "goddamn," "Jesus" (as an exclamation), "ass," and more.
- Social Behavior
- Bad things happen to both good and bad people; it's just random horror. Nobody becomes a better person, and no lessons are learned.
- Consumerism
- Not applicable
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- In one of the segments a group of young men and women gets seriously drunk and also snorts some cocaine. In another segment, young people smoke pot. It appears that these characters are mostly in their early twenties, not teens.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

May 12, 2013 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorUniversity of Wyoming wrestling coach Mark Branch has plenty of complements for freshman heavyweight Jordan Hanson of Lander.
Hanson, a two-time Class 3-A state wrestling champion from Lander Valley High School, went 5-8 in his first season on the Division I level.
Branch was at the Riverton Country Club on Friday for the annual University of Wyoming Cowboy Joe Club golf tournament.
"Jordan got the injury bug a little bit," Branch said. "He had a couple of concussions later on that probably effected more than anything. They were right in a row."
Branch said Hanson started off the year weighing more than 300 pounds. When Hanson hit midseason, he was down below 250 pounds.
"One of the things that will be critical for him is to develop his mental and physical toughness," Branch said. "It's going to be real important for him to strengthen up. He already has made some big gains."
During the start of the season, UW had freshman Tanner Harms in the heavyweight slot.
Harms was contributing for the Pokes before he tore a hamstring in December.
Leland Pfeifer also spent the large part of the season battling the giants in the heavyweight bracket. Pfeifer wrestled at Hulett High School.
"He is a 184 or 197-pounder who was giving up a lot of weight," Branch said.
Branch said Hanson and Harms are the two solid heavyweights for the future.
"Jordan never backed down," Branch said. "It was tough for him. I expect he is going to grow off this year and start to mature. He will start to figure things out. If he lifts hard, his body will start to become physically stronger."
Branch didn't play in the 18-hole golf tournament but represented the coaches at UW.
"It's great to get out and meet new people," Branch said. "Over the last couple of years, I have talked to people that weren't really wrestling fans that I have stayed in contact with. It's great to build our fan base."
Wyoming's season
The Cowboys finished No. 23 in the nation under the direction of Branch.
"We lost some big-time point scorers from last year," Branch said. "We had a lot of unknowns."
UW won the Western Wrestling Conference title.
Senior Alfonso Hernandez finished seventh at 197 pounds, and sophomore Tyler Cox was eighth in the 125-pound bracket.
"We have a good core to build around," Branch said. "I think that we can be better next year."
Branch makes it a point to sign the top high school wrestlers from Wyoming to his program. The Pokes had four Wyoming native wrestlers in his lineup.
"I think that is a key to get the Wyoming kids here," Branch said. "It's easier for us to recruit them. It's easier for us to keep them there and keep them happy. Most of the in-state kids have grown up loving Wyoming. We don't have to teach that."
2012-13 was Branch's fifth season at the helm. He came to UW after being the associate head wrestling coach at Oklahoma State University.
"We made some really big strides from where we started in all areas," Branch said. "We want to be a top 10 every year."

Faberge: Hodges Family Collection exhibit at Frick Art Museum
It goes without saying that the vast majority of the ladies in attendance during the preview party for "Faberge: The Hodges Family Collection " at the Frick Art Museum on Friday left with some pretty good birthday, anniversary, and Christmas present ideas for the plus-one in their lives.
"Sure, why not• She gets everything she wants," laughed Vince Delie, who co-chaired the soiree with his wife, Donna.
The traveling exhibit was "all about turn-of-the-20th-century luxury" according to the Frick's Greg Langel, who welcomed more than 350, including board chair David Brownlee and Susan, director Bill Bodine, Jane Treherne-Thomas, David and Anne Genter, Chris and Brian Ciaverella, and Susie Durocher (the great-great-granddaughter of Henry Clay Frick).
Following a wine and dine of sumptuous bites including chicken Kiev, poached salmon, mustard dilled shrimp canapes and farshirovannye yaytsa (stuffed eggs garnished with salmon caviar, for those rusty with their Russian), it was on to the exhibit, where accolades could be heard in unison -- "It's gorgeous!" being the most common phrase heard throughout the evening. Interestingly enough, it was the extensive collection of exquisite cigarette cases that seemed to capture most of the attention, including a few smokers in attendance who lamented their current state of affairs.
This is one abfab collection you don't want to miss; a captivating trip back in time to when opulence and jaw-dropping artistry reigned supreme.

Underweight Models Banned from Madrid's Runways
Casting agents for Madrid's Fashion Week are forced to chose models that are of healthy weight as determined by Body-Mass Index (BMI) calculations preformed by on-site medics. We may see similar restrictions in Milan as well. Advocate groups for people with eating-disorders have expressed support for this.
Excerpt from CNN article:
The Madrid show is using the body mass index or BMI -- based on weight and height -- to measure models. It has turned away 30 percent of women who took part in the previous event. Medics will be on hand at the Sept. 18-22 show to check models.
"The restrictions could be quite a shock to the fashion world at the beginning, but I'm sure it's important as far as health is concerned," said Leonor Perez Pita, director of Madrid's show, also known as the Pasarela Cibeles.

As a result of your question, I went back and checked the state library site for their exact language, and they've changed their policy. Good to know. No renewals, but you can get back on the waiting list. Thanks!
As for the other.... we're all run into them. Unfortunately. I hope you followed him/her around until the book made it back onto the shelf and then snatched it up with a mad cackle.

Yes, it's Overdrive and thanks to SeaBookGuy, I now know I can get a book back. It'll take a little pressure off. Does anyone else find that all of their library books seem to become available in the same weekend? Leaving him/her frantically trying to get through them all before the loan expires? To the detriment of things I'd rather be reading, to boot!
Sheri, those kids' books are the devil. They hide in plain sight.

The Tannest People In The World
We get that having a tan can feel good, but most of us don't understand Tanning Mom's desire to obtain that leathery shade of brown. And then there are others for whom Patricia Krentcil is a tanning icon. Trish Paytas — you might remember her from an episode of "My Strange Addiction" — doesn't get why everyone is attacking Tanning Mom. "I don't know why people were making such a fuss — [Tanning Mom's] a beautiful color. Her tan would look great on me," said the 24-year-old lingerie model who spends about $40,000 a year to get her skin that color. We beg to differ.
We suspect Trish is suffering from tanorexia, but she doesn't agree. "I'm not addicted. I could stop any time. But I feel so much better and confident when I'm tanned," she explained. You can't argue with denial. But you can argue with her styling choices. In particular, I'm not getting the white makeup. Click through to see more of the tannest human beings we've ever seen. Warning: You may have the sudden urge to run out and buy SPF 80. Perfectly normal. [The Sun UK]

Turn ordinary champagne flutes into decorated flutes for parties and special occasions, decor and personal use. With supplies purchased at your local craft store or arts supply store, you can use your flutes to create handmade crafts for yourself or to give as customized gifts for your friends and family.
Gel Candle Champagne Flutes
To decorate a table at a party or special occasion, turn your champagne flutes into gel candles with a few basic supplies purchased at most craft stores. For each flute, you will need to first tie a wick onto the middle of a bamboo skewer or pencil and balance the skewer over the top of the champagne flute to keep the wick standing up inside the flute. Cook the gel wax according to the directions on the package, including how to add wax color and scent. Once cooked, pour the gel into the champagne flute and stir it around a few times with another bamboo skewer to create bubbles similar to a glass of champagne. Let the gel sit for several hours to harden then cut the top of the wick from the skewer.
Painted Champagne Flutes
Glass paint is available at any craft store and makes it easy to decorate your champagne flutes. Designs can be freehand if you have artistic skill or with basic designs such as dots or hearts. Stencils are helpful for more advanced designs and shapes as well as letter stencils if you want to paint a message onto your champagne flutes. Place a small amount of glass paint on a piece of wax paper and dip your paint brush into it. Paint directly onto the glass or over a stencil that has been taped to the glass. Glass paint takes about 15 minutes to dry completely before you can remove the stencil.
Decorated Champagne Flutes
Decorate your champagne flutes with a variety of items and materials from your local craft store or that you may have in your home. Embellishments include flat-edged rhinestones, beads, ribbon, organza or lace, buttons, seashells or silk flowers. Choose your embellishments and a strong craft glue that will work on glass. Glue each embellishment one at a time by applying a dab of glue on the embellishment and pressing firmly to the champagne flute. Rhinestones may come with an adhesive backing, making it easy to decorate your champagne flutes. Decorate according to a theme such as for a party or wedding, or with colors and designs to match your decor if these are to be displayed as decor.
Etched Champagne Flutes
Customize your champagne flutes by etching the glass with an inexpensive etching cream and stencils of shapes or letters. To create etched champagne flutes, you will need vinyl-resistant stencils, low-tack tape, application sponge and the etching cream. You might also want to wear disposable gloves during the application process. Wash and dry your champagne flute. Tape the stencil onto your champagne flute and apply the etching cream with your sponge; you want a thick coating on the flute. Wait 20 minutes for the acid to etch the glass and rinse it off. Your champagne flute will now be etched with your design. Use one stencil or several different ones according to your preference.

Mincor Resources shares opened at $1.45 on Tuesday, a level representing a 50 per cent fall in less than six months.
Despite a significant increase in consensus earnings forecasts in the last week, Mincor's share price has failed to respond, perhaps weighed down by broader market sentiment towards the mining sector.
But Mincor's share price has rallied strongly in response to management's announcement on Tuesday afternoon that the miner was expecting to record a net profit of $14 million for the first half of 2009-10.
This represents earnings per share of approximately 7¢, a good platform in terms of meeting consensus forecasts of 15¢ a share for the full year.
Immediately after management provided the guidance, Mincor's share price jumped from $1.44 to $1.51, and recently traded as high as $1.53. Management also said that it would be paying an interim dividend.
Once analysts have had the opportunity to reflect on this news there could be some upgrades, opening up the potential for a share price rerating.
In the last six months, Mincor has had significant exploration success at its tenements in the Kambalda region in Western Australia.
Furthermore, cash costs fell to the second-lowest quarterly average in more than three years for the December quarter of 2009.
Mincor is debt free and has more than $100 million in working capital to fund further exploration. Given the company's cash position, its market capitalisation of approximately $290 million suggests that its assets are conservatively priced, or perhaps undervalued.
Subsequent increases in reserves, mine life and production outlook are other factors that could prompt a share price rerating.
Developments of this nature could result in Mincor being priced on 2011-12 forecasts rather than its 2009-10 outlook.

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Blount Seafood Corporation 1/13/12
Department of Health and Human Services
|Public Health Service
Food and Drug Administration
New England District
Warning Letter
January 13, 2012
Mr. F. Nelson Blount
Blount Seafood Corporation
630 Currant Road
Fall River, MA 02720
Dear Mr. Blount
We inspected your seafood processing facility, located at 630 Currant Road, Fall River, MA on November 17-18, 2011, November 21, 2011, November 28, 2011 and December 6, 2011. We found that you have serious violations of the seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulation, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123, and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation for foods, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 110 (21 CFR 123 & 110). In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6(g), failure of a processor of fish or fishery products to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of Part 123, renders the fish or fishery products adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4). Accordingly, your retail and bulk, refrigerated modified atmosphere seafood soups are adulterated, in that they been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health. You may find the Act, the seafood HACCP regulation and the Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards & Controls Guidance through links in FDA's home page at www.fda.gov.
We have reviewed your firm's response of December 27, 2011 and note that it lacks sufficient corrective actions.
Your significant violations were as follows:
1. You must conduct a hazard analysis to determine whether there are food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur and have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists the critical control points, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6 (a) and (c) (2). A critical control point is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(b) as a "point, step, or procedure in a food process at which control can be applied and a food safety hazard can as a result be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to acceptable levels." However, our review found the following:
A. Your firm's HACCP plan for Bulk Soups and Retail Soups does not list the critical control point of (b)(4) during the manufacturing process or (b)(4) for controlling the food safety hazard(s) of clostridium botulinum (C. Bot) and other pathogens.
We acknowledge receipt of your written response dated December 27, 2011. We understand that you are continuing to evaluate this process and will not have a permanent corrective action plan until January 27, 2012.
B. Your firm's HACCP plan for frozen Bulk Soups and frozen Retail Soups does not list the critical control point for receipt of and/or the generation of finished product labeling for controlling the food safety hazard(s) of clostridium botulinum (C. Bot). All modified atmosphere packaged frozen bulk and retail soup finished product labels must contain a "keep frozen" statement (e.g., "important, keep frozen until used, thaw under refrigeration immediately before use.)".
In your written response dated December 27, 2011, you indicated your labels and HACCP Plans will be updated and will have a permanent action plan by January 27, 2012. In your response to this letter, please provide us with your updated HACCP Plan and finished product labels demonstrating that these changes have been implemented.
2. You must have a HACCP plan that lists the critical limits that must be met, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(c)(3). A critical limit is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(c) as "the maximum or minimum value to which a physical, biological, or chemical parameter must be controlled at a critical control point to prevent, eliminate, or reduce to an acceptable level the occurrence of the identified food safety hazard." However, your firm's HACCP plan for your fresh seafood bulk and retail soups lists a critical limit, of (b)(4) at your (b)(4) control points that is not adequate to control C. Bot and other pathogens.
We acknowledge receipt of your written response dated December 27, 2011. We understand that you have updated your HACCP Plan for Bulk Soups; however you did not provide documentation demonstrating that you are meeting your revised critical limit and you are continuing to evaluate this process and will not have a permanent corrective action plan until January 27, 2012.
3. You must have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists monitoring procedures and frequency for each critical control point, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6 (c) (4). However, your firm's HACCP plan for bulk and retail soups lists a monitoring procedure of "visual check for allergens in recipe on finished product label" and frequency of "New and Changed product label approval" at the finished product labeling critical control point that is not adequate to control allergens. As evidenced by your firm's voluntary recall initiated on 1/11/2012 for your Natural Rip Roarin' Crab Soup Product as a result of applying incorrect back panel labels, containing incorrect ingredient, nutrition and allergen statements.
This violation and the resulting recall are of particular concern because this is the fourth undeclared allergen related recall by Blount Seafood Corporation since 2008. The following is a summary of the four recalls:
• 01/2012 - - Crab Soup; Reason: Undeclared milk, crab and wheat
• 11/2011 – Turkey Gravy ; Reason: Undeclared Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
• 05/2011 – Turkey Gravy; Reason: Undeclared hydrolyzed Soy Protein
• 05/2008 – New England Clam Chowder Soup; Reason: Undeclared Shrimp
All of these recalls resulted from products containing undeclared commonly known allergens, such as soy, milk, wheat, shrimp and crab. Undeclared ingredients that are known allergens are of particular concern to the agency. FDA has received an increasing number of reports concerning consumers who have experienced adverse reactions following exposure to an allergenic substance in foods. For sensitive individuals, the presence of allergens in food is potentially life threatening. Ingredients that are among the most commonly known to cause serious allergic responses are milk, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, soybeans, and derivatives of these products.
In your written response dated December 27, 2011, you indicated your HACCP Plan was updated to include the monitoring procedure of "labels are checked during application process to ensure correct label is applied". This most recent recall demonstrates the seriousness of improperly reviewing product labels for allergens. You should take prompt action to correct the conditions that led to the above described violation and the other undeclared allergen related recalls listed above. In your response to this letter please provide us with documentation demonstrating your revised HACCP Plan monitoring procedures have been fully implemented.
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct these violations. For instance, we may take further action to seize your product(s) and/or enjoin your firm from operating.
You should respond in writing within fifteen (15) working days from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific things you are doing to correct these violations. You should include in your response documentation such as HACCP and verification records, or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, you should explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining violations. A regulatory meeting with you will be scheduled after receipt and review of your response.
This letter may not list all the violations at your facility. You are responsible for ensuring that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Act, the seafood HACCP regulation (21 CFR Part 123) and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation (21 CFR Part 110). You also have a responsibility to use procedures to prevent further violations of the Act and all applicable regulations.
Please send your reply to the Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Lori A. Holmquist, Compliance Officer, 330 Civic Center Drive, Suite 1, Box 4, Augusta, ME 04330. If you have questions regarding any issues in this letter, please contact Lori A. Holmquist at 207.622.8268 x

A few days ago I welcomed in a new addition to my family. My wife and I had our first child, a son, whom we are naming Peter Parker Findlay (no joke)! I am telling you this because I will be taking a bit of a break from this website for a while. I'll update with major news, but the episode reviews will wait until my life has a bit more routine in it.
But in the meantime, I will leave you with this short article of my top five favourite baby moments in superhero animation. Surprisingly, they are all from the Timm-verse.
5. Baby-Doll - Batman: the Animated Series
Batman has to face a former child star that has never grown out of her child body and has therefore become bitter and jaded toward the world. The climax of the episode where Mary Louise Dahl faces her own self image was a moving moment to what was otherwise a pretty goofy episode. Her second appearance, Love is a Croc, was less than impressive.
4. Kid Stuff - Justice League Unlimited
JLU is usually a pretty serious show, but they also know how to be funny! When the Justice League willingly change into children hilarity ensues, especially when they come across a baby Demon Etrigan! The cute factor was kicked up a notch, and even though it was a lighter episode, the story was still solid.
3. Eggbaby - Batman Beyond
I never had to do the "pretend an egg is a baby" exercise in high school, but now that I have an infant of my own, I can better relate to Terry McGuiness as he lives his daily live with a dependent. However I don't have to fight crime with a baby. The egg really steals the show in this episode.
2. The Last Son of Krypton, Part One - Superman: the Animated Series
How could a list about babies be complete with out young Kal-El? I can't imagine how hard it would be for a parent to send their child away as Jor-El and Lara did when Krypton was about to explode. The origin of Superman has been retold in many different mediums, several times, but this version develops the relationship between Kal-El and his parents far better than any other.
1. The Enemy Below, Part Two - Justice League
Parents will go to great lengths to protect their children. In this episode Aquaman cuts off his own hand in order to free himself and his son from certain death. It is a very powerful moment, especially if you have a child of your own. Would you be able to do the same if you were in the situation?

Hulk Hogan made a surprise appearance at the WrestleReunion signing at Hogan's Beach Shop in Clearwater, Florida. Promoter Sal Corrente said during the signing (which featured Jimmy Hart, The Nasty Boys, Bobby Heenan and more) that Hogan would not appear, but he did so anyway.
Hogan went there to have fun and was said to be really good during the Q&A, which was free for the first 100 fans.
i wonder how heenen is doing health wise if he recovered well enough. i would love to see him in some compacity in wrestling for the wwe again . maybe with the wwe network and on demand offerings like wrestling round table. would love him for an angle or so wouldnt expect him to be able to be a manager. wonders how his voice is these days . sucks he had to get throat cancer. the best talker in wrestling and ended with throat cancer
why is it a surprise appearance if he promoted it and its at his Beach Shop
my thoughts exactly, lol
Because they said he wasn't going to be there. Doesn't matter if it's in his own house or wherever, it was a surprise because they said he wasn't going to be there and then he was. It wasn't much of a surprise, hence the article putting the word surprise inside inverted commas… But a surprise nonetheless.
I can only imagine why Hulk decided to open is on restaurant and bar I am sure this was a case where he knew that he would not be with TNA forever. smart move on his part for security reasons down the road since he does not have the money he used to have anymore
Why not Hogan make a surprise appearance at his own home and then stay there?

Sour Cream-Blueberry Bread
Recipe by jay.mcgow
This dessert bread puts boring ole' banana bread to shame for sure! This recipe is amazing. The use of bananas/sour cream makes it as light as cake, and the sweetness of the bananas and sugar gives it a delightfully light and crunchy crust. I tried it when full and almost had an entire half-loaf. Only use fresh or frozen blueberries(they won't burst or go runny in this bread!), not dried. Mine were days old, but this recipe still brought them back to life! I don't have a food process, so I make the "banana pulp" using a fork and my hands. I also prefer (Emerald brand) glazed pecans, fist-crushed(but only slightly) in a ziplock, b/c normal ones taste too woody and drab for my taste. Another winner from Williams-Sonoma! *makes one 9-by-5-inch loaf*
Top Review by Steffany M.
This was the exact perfect recipe that I was looking for! I make them into muffins for my Bed n Breakfast, and they are loved by all! Thank you for sharing, I didn't change the recipe at all, just made them into muffins instead of loaves. Will continue to make again and again!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 medium-ripe bananas
- 473.18 ml unbleached all-purpose flour
- 177.44 ml sugar
- 7.39 ml baking soda
- 2.46 ml salt
- 2.46 ml ground cinnamon
- 118.29 ml chopped pecans
- 2 large eggs
- 118.29 ml sour cream
- 4.92 ml pure vanilla extract
- 118.29 ml unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
- 236.59 ml fresh blueberries
Directions See How It's Made
- 1) Preheat the oven to 350°F Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- 2) Mash the bananas well with a fork or coarsely purée them in a food processor. Measure out 1 cup and set aside.
- 3) In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nuts. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, vanilla, butter, and the 1 cup mashed banana pulp. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the banana mixture. Stir together the wet and dry ingredients just until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy. Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to break them up. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top of the bread is firm to the touch and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes(It takes 53 minutes in my pre-heated convection oven). Let cool in the pan on a rack for 30 minutes. Turn the loaf out onto the rack and let cool completely.

The U.S. Needs a Meaningful Mortgage Settlement: Simon JohnsonSimon Johnson
Discussions around this weekend's International Monetary Fund annual meetings in Washington made it clear that the standard macroeconomic toolkit has little more to offer the U.S. It's time to try something else.
Monetary policy has reached its limits, and further fiscal stimulus isn't in the cards. Three years into the financial crisis, the U.S. economy is still held back by weak consumer confidence. Meanwhile, the global financial system continues to face instability, most notably because of the persistent sovereign-debt crisis in Europe.
With roughly a quarter of all U.S. households with mortgages owing more on their loans than their homes are worth, it's no surprise that consumption, which accounts for 70 percent of gross domestic product, is restrained.
The consequent lack of demand discourages business investment, which means job creation remains weak. People are afraid of losing their homes and that fear keeps spending down and thus prevents them -- and their neighbors -- from getting jobs.
What can be done to break this vicious circle? One suggestion from some officials this weekend -- and of course many banks -- is to accept a relatively small amount of money to settle the various robo-signing and other mortgage document cases that state attorneys general are pursuing. The claim is that this would put the banks back on their feet and spur lending. This is a complete illusion.
TARP Props
The biggest banks were propped up during the crisis by the Treasury Department using Troubled Asset Relief Program funds and by the Federal Reserve with huge loans in various forms. Some institutions, including Citigroup and Bank of America, were put back on their feet several times.
But this approach has proved insufficient to spur an economic recovery. Left to their devices, banks will always fail to restructure loans on a scale sufficient to make a macroeconomic difference. Negative equity or near negative equity weighs on consumers and depresses confidence, but no single private firm will ever take into account those broader consequences.
To date, the government's efforts on mortgages have been lame -- and much less than was done to save the biggest and worst managed banks. There's also zero chance that this Congress would authorize the use of any public money to support mortgage relief. At the same time, it's only fair and reasonable that there should be redress for homeowners who were tricked into mortgages they couldn't afford, evicted without due process or otherwise mistreated by banks.
Principal Reductions
Appropriate redress would presumably include loan modifications and the possibility of principal reductions for those who borrowed from particular banks during specified periods, or who took out various kinds of dangerous loans (for example, the infamous exploding adjustable mortgages, in which low teaser interest rates were used to fool people into ignoring how much rates would quickly rise.)
Bank misconduct allegedly was on a grand scale throughout the origination, securitization and loan-servicing processes, particularly for loans taken out from 2005 through 2008. It is conceivable that an appropriate settlement would include enough restructuring of payments to make a difference at the level of significantly reducing household debt burdens.
Unknown Amounts
Unfortunately, we don't know the exact amounts that could be involved because the Justice Department has sat on its hands for three years and no attorney general has been able to complete a full investigation. Some AGs, such as Eric Schneiderman of New York, argue that we need such an investigation as the basis for a comprehensive settlement. Surprisingly, many other AGs and some federal agencies seem increasingly inclined to accept the $15 billion to $20 billion that the banks have put on the table, and declare the matter closed.
We got into our current financial morass because state and federal officials bent over backward to allow banks to do what they wanted. During the most intense crisis period, official strategy under President George W. Bush, and again during the Obama administration, was to support big banks -- and to keep them on their feet with minimal personnel, governance or business model changes. Now some AGs and the Obama administration want to call it quits and let the banks go back to business as usual.
The policy over the past 30 years of giving the big banks pretty much what their executives want has proved to be an unmitigated disaster. It's time to change that in a fair and reasonable manner. Let every disputed mortgage case be examined separately, using the full process of the law. If that prospect is too daunting for the banks accused of serious misconduct, then they should reach a settlement that's big enough to make a difference.

text: Hi all This is not specific to Apple hardware problem, but I don't know where else to go for help. I have had a speedtouch router now for just over a year (its now out of warranty) - recently my internet connection has been dropping - where I should have all 3 green lights on the top of the router I now have 2 green and one flashing orange - the @ symbol. I called my isp (Eclipse) and they told me it was a BT authentication issue so they contacted BT for me. They came back and said it was all fine, however the problem is still happening. Eclipse have told me that I need to buy a new router because it sounds like mine is broken, but he didn't sound convinced. I wondered if anyone else may have had a similar problem. At the moment it is working, but in 2 minutes time I may loose my connection again. Any ideas??? Many thanks Scot

Kids' Parties In Florida Now Include Alligators In The Swimming Pool
Oh, Florida. A new "trend" at kids' birthday parties in the always-entertaining state is having alligators in the swimming pool.
A company called Alligator Attractions brings juvenile alligators with their mouths taped shut over and lets them swim in the pool with the children. But don't worry, parents — kids get a lesson on "alligator safety" first. Such as, oh, stay away from alligators? Unfortunately for Alligator Attractions, the party service is now being investigated by the state's Fish and Wildlife Commission. Aw, rats.
It's certainly possible that peeps in Florida who grew up with gators think this idea is NBD. But to those of us in less gator-populated states, this idea is about as grand as inviting a skunk to your barbecue. Or polar bear, if you are from Wasilla. [Miami New-Times]

IMHO, the real thing you should be worried about here is your "friend". If s/he is stupid enough to screw around with your desktop and leave it in that condition, how do you know that they won't mention what they saw in a conversation with somebody else (not meaning any harm, of course -- just chatting) - that eventually gets around to someone at work that doesn't like what they hear?
This "friend" of yours doesn't seem too bright if they left BT3 up on your desktop at a banking institution.
I'd start by getting more intelligent friends.

I have fine hair, too. When I was young (57) I had a ton of it, but medication and thyroid issues have take their toll through the years. Before I found my current routine, I was a 2 something in the winter and a 3a during the summer. Now my hair looks like my signature picture all of the time. I also have roseaca and significant skin allergies--a few of the products made my scalp burn and something I used last week gave me hives, so I know where you are coming from.
Last Aug/Sept, I made the switch to more natural products and my hair has been much improved--tighter curl and more volume even during the cold, dry winter.
I get a wet cut that I think is good (I get followed around in stores and asked about it, so others must think so, too.) But I do think that a great haircut is the foundation of good hair.
The technique and product advice you received from Morgan_Adcock is right on. Aloe gel won't do it. It provides moisture, but no hold. You may want to consider diffusing or the hard bonnet hair dryer (search R2D2 for the thread) that's currently very popular. Either will really cut down on your dry time. If you have a lot of hair and it only takes three hours to dry, you're probably not low porosity, LOL! My hair is fairly short, I don't have much--and it takes three hours to air dry! There are also curl towels that take out some of the water--Curlease and Curls Like Us. They remove water without causing frizz.
I'll pm you.

Crown Princess Honeymoon Cruise: Crown Princess Cruise Review by morecruisesformeplease
Overall Member Rating
Crown Princess Honeymoon Cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We opted for a balcony cabin, mid ship and were very pleased with the location and overall cabin. The cabin was B437 which is on the Baja deck 11 and is mid ship right by the elevators. We did not notice any noise from the elevators and were happy to have a short walk to go anywhere. The bed was not the most comfortable bed we ever slept in, but the ship and the shore excursions were enough to wear us out that it did More not matter.
During our first couple of days we found there to be lots to do on the ship. Our first day at sea was very nice. We relaxed by the pool and watched some of the fun games they had going on. There were LOTS of open deck chairs, but they were not the chairs right by the pool. Yes, there were LOTS of saved chairs everywhere, but nowhere near the amount of "chair hogging" I expected. After a few drinks, and a lot of sun and fun it was back to the room to find more to do.
Our first stop was Grand Cayman and the waters were so clear. We did an excursion through Fatfish Adventures and it was AMAZING! We rode a jet ski through some mangroves, out to stingray city, and to a snorkeling area. The water was pretty rough for our ride, but it made it more fun for us to be able to jump the waves. Feeding the stingrays scared my wife a little, but she eventually held one.
Our next stop, the beautiful island of Roatan. It was interesting to see this massive ship inch through this narrow channel backwards to get to the dock. Here we booked a zipline and beach excursion through Island Marketing, who we later found out is basically a travel agency who books excursions through South Shore Zipline. Ziplining through the jungle canopy and 100-200 feet above ravines is so much fun. After ziplining it was off to West Bay beach. They took us to Fosters Resort where, thanks to cruise critic, we applied our bug spray to avoid the sand fleas. As we were spraying it on a gentleman walking by said "Very smart", then turned around to show us about 100 bites on his back. He said that they are only near Fosters and the other resorts actually spray every night. Thankfully we continued our day at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world bite free!
Next stop was Cozumel where we did the Royal Dolphin Swim. Having a dolphin give you a dorsal fin ride is a once in a lifetime experience that was worth it. We booked the excursion through Princess even though it was about $130 cheaper to book it through Chankanaab. Chankanaab will ask you what cruise line you are on if you try to book through them because they are not allowed to privately book anyone from Princess or Carnival. I suppose you could lie and get away with it, but it was not worth the risk to us because we really wanted to do this. After the dolphin swim we stayed at the beach here for a couple hours. The beach is very nice with snorkeling and even a fresh water pool.
Our next day at sea was mostly the same as the last, cocktails, sun, only this time we had chairs right by the pool. We watched an ice carving demonstration, some guys racing boats made of various items found around the ship, ate, ate, drank, drank, and then played miniature golf.
Princess cays was a nice beach to just relax on a day before going home. They have a barbeque for all the passengers from 11:30-1:30 and they mean 1:30. They were closing up the line as about 10-15 people walked up including us and said we could not go in because according to the Princess employee, and I quote, "It is exactly 1:30 and we have to go back on the ship". Shame on me for not bringing a watch to the beach, but really, exactly 1:30 and we couldn't go in? Anyway, we didn't care as much as some others did as they started to argue with the guy. We just went back to our beach chairs and caught some more sun.
After a light breakfast and coffee at the International Cafe disembarkation was a breeze. They had us meet at 8:15 and we were at our gate at the airport by 9:15.
The food on Princess was as advertised, very good, and everywhere. We ate at the Crown Grill one night, and Sabatini's another. Both were very good-bring your appetite for Sabatinis! The food at the International Cafe was good. It is mostly small things for breakfast and desserts, but all were very good. The pizza is amazing and we tried to eat it as often as possible, but there is only so much food one can eat.
Our cabin steward Ferdinand was great and our room was always taken care of. Our wait staff in the main dining room, Catalina and Donja were excellent, and gave above and beyond service. One area I thought lacked good service was the staff at some of the bars and international cafe. For example, while we were sitting watching a comedy show, a lady came up and said her martini did not taste right. The guy looked at her, and said "Whats wrong with it"? She said it tasted like sour milk-yuck. He took it, made a new one and handed it to her and turned around. I would repeatedly see bar staff serve people without saying a word and heaven forbid someone should put in a special request. At the international cafe, we would order blended coffee drinks with the liquid sugar. Out of our 13 coffees we got the sugar 7 times, and two or three of those times we had to remind them to put it in. The other four times, we just weren't paying attention. Anyway, before we booked our cruise, we were sold by friends that Princess had the best food and service. I would agree that Princess had great food, and some great service, but overall I give the service a 6 of 10.
As I said before, we found plenty of things to do. We saw comedian Cary Long who was very funny, in fact much funnier than the other comedian on board. Movies under the stars was a very nice way to end some nights. The wife and I played bingo and won! The Princess dancers and singers were just average to us, but we are not really into musicals. Another disappointment to us was the music. Out by the pool, we expected the Caribbean band to sing Caribbean music, not Diana Ross and Lionel Richie. Even when the band wasn't playing(they only played an hour a day) the music was boring. We really enjoyed the culinary show with Chef Giuseppe and Maitre D Neville. They were actually really funny and the galley tour was very interesting.
Overall, we really enjoyed the cruise(impossible not to) and plan to cruise again sometime. Less

Cabin review: BDB437 Balcony
Our cabin B437 was very nice. It is midship, close to elevators, and was a shirt walk to the aft elevators for our dinner in the main dining room. It is a covered balcony on the first level of fully covered balconies. Below you are half covered and almost uncovered balconies. We found it to be a great location with no noise other than normal talking of hall traffic.Read All Balcony (BD) Reviews >>

Not that they were looking for it, but the Minnesota Vikings got Jon Beason's approval in signing free-agent running back Latavius Murray, calling him a "younger version of Adrian Peterson."
Beason played linebacker for the Carolina Panthers for seven years, earning first-team Associated Press All-Pro status in 2008 and second-team status in 2009, then finished his career with the New York Giants from 2013-15. Being a former linebacker, he should know running backs.
Beason gave the Vikings' signing of Murray a B grade, which was the best of the three running backs he reviewed in free agency.
"If I'm Oakland, I'm saying he's been part of our team and they should have re-signed the guy. But, ultimately, if you're the Vikings you pick up a younger version of Adrian Peterson," Beason said in his analysis for CBS. "I think the guy is a special talent that can do it all – he can take it the distance, he's good catching the ball and he runs behind his pads. He is a hard tackle."
If Murray really is a younger version of Peterson, then his signing for three years and $15 million with little dead-cap space in the final two years would be an excellent signing. So if Beason's opinion of Murray is that high, why not an A grade?
"The reason why it's a B for me is because that offensive line is so terrible, so hopefully the upgrade at running back will make their offense better," Beason said. "But, ultimately, they've got to do a better job with the guys up front, so it's just a B."
Before signing Murray, the Vikings visited with former Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy, who signed with the Seattle Seahawks, another team that struggled with their offensive line in 2016. Lacy signed a one-year, $4.25 million contract.
Beason had questions there, too, but he clearly thinks Lacy is a risk and gave the Seahawks signing a C.
"My problem with Eddie Lacy is history is a great teacher and he's always been overweight," Beason said. "They want him at 235, 240; he's probably going to be overweight again. So it's a C, but the offensive line is still the biggest problem."
While Peterson and Jamaal Charles remain on the free-agent market, the New England Patriots made the other somewhat significant signing at the position when they inked Rex Burkhead to a one-year, $3.15 million contract.
Burkhead to the Patriots also got a C from Beason because he believes LeGarrette Blount is better, but Blount remains unsigned.

Best Of :: People & Places
Tom Koch Every anchor, from the networks on down, has to unleash the occasional amusing asides and anecdotes -- those supposedly spontaneous but carefully scripted lines to show how human and personable these made-up personalities are. But something's different about Tom Koch; the guy from Oshkosh U (no kidding) can't help but radiate a genuine, energetic enthusiasm and love of the business. That's not easy at 5 a.m., much less so when he does it again on the same day for the afternoon broadcast. His smooth delivery and grasp of the news (he's been with the station since 1982, including several years as a reporter) can rival any street reporter or anchor. But Tom Terrific's best trait is one that beams through the TV: He knows best how to take his work seriously without taking himself too seriously. It's a lesson the rest of the anchor crews should learn.
Downtown lofts "Adaptive reuse" is the fancy phrase used by builders to describe the process of renovating old buildings for new uses. It's a simple idea that's finally taking hold downtown, where old shells of former banks and office buildings are gutted and reconstructed for the adventurous urban dweller. We're not talking about the highway-adjacent, corrugated tin cans that promise "loft living." We're talking about the real thing: the big, atmospheric lobbies, thick rock walls, concrete floors and skyline views you'll find at the Southern Pacific Railroad building (now the Bayou Lofts at 915 Franklin) or the Rice Lofts (909 Texas). And using spaces that are already there minimizes new, "ground-up" construction (drab condos and look-alike town homes), cutting down on sprawl and highway congestion.
Metro light rail Okay, there are the accidents (mostly the fault of Houston drivers) and the occasionally backed-up traffic, but any new addition to the city that can increase mobility, cut pollution and get people back downtown is a winner to us. And with plans in the works to bring more development (housing, stores and amenities) to the light rail corridor, by 2006 you'll be able to pick up groceries, get to your doctor's appointment, hit the gym and meet your date for drinks at the Icon all in one afternoon, without ever using a car or freeway. Is this Houston, or are we dreaming?
Art Car Parade This year's parade, the 17th, featured a dragon, a cadre of Elvises and a giant George W. Bush thrusting his pelvis into a big globe. Whether you like the downright wacky entries or the ones with a little more edge, you can't help but admire the art car owners' craftsmanship and questionable sanity. Every year, hundreds of Houston's car artists unveil their winged, painted and appliquéd creations for the thousands of folks who line Allen Parkway. Every wagon, hearse and monster truck is tricked out (not to mention the occasional scooter and bike) in this true Houston original. It's best to get there early to find a shady spot and watch what happens when Henry Ford meets Salvador Dalí.
Delaney Hall The "What would Jesus drive?" bumper stickers aren't likely to be succeeded by "Where would Jesus hang?" varietals, but the question is nonetheless worth asking. If the Lord were to pick His favorite Houston building, He might choose Delaney Hall, the new earth-friendly addition to the Emerson Unitarian Church. The brick building will soon become the first church in Texas to meet stringent Leadership in Environmental Design standards, which have become the benchmark for eco-friendly architecture. The structure takes a load off Mother Earth with auto-shutoff faucets, carpet made from recycled materials and a metal roof that reflects light to reduce cooling bills. It uses 30 percent less water and energy than a conventional building, despite being built on a tight construction budget, says Rebecca Bryant of Ray Bailey Architects. Even the landscaping is earth-friendly: The native varieties planted here drink less than imported varieties, and they attract butterflies to the adjacent playground.
Marfa Call it a triple threat. For more than a hundred years, folks have seen unexplained lights near Marfa, putting the small West Texas town on the map of Agent Mulder types. Just under 50 years ago, director George Stevens filmed Giant there, forever cementing the place as a shrine to Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean and Dennis Hopper. And then 20-something years later, artist Donald Judd set up shop at the site of a former military base in the same area, creating sprawling installations that would forever change the face of the local landscape -- and the world of contemporary art. Now the entire town is awash in galleries, commemorative plaques and paranormal junkies. It's almost too much to take in at once.

FIFA have today lifted Nigeria's international football ban.
Earlier this month, the country were told no team, including domestic club sides, both male and female, would be able to play internationally.
This had threatened the participation of Nigeria's Women's Under-20 in next month's World Cup in Canada as well as the Super Eagles' African Cup of Nations defence, which starts in September.
The ban came in the wake of government intervention in its football federation when a court order compelled the Nigerian Minister of Sports to appoint a civil service member to run the country's Football Federation.
At the time, FIFA confirmed the suspension would be lifted "once the court actions have been withdrawn and the properly elected NFF Executive Committee, the NFF general assembly and the NFF administration are able to work without any interference in their affairs."
And today the governing body has noted this has been done and decided to lift the suspension.
A statement read: "FIFA has lifted the suspension that was imposed on the Nigeria Football Federation on account of interference.
"Fifa has noted that the court proceedings and order preventing the president of the NFF, the NFF Executive Committee members and the NFF Congress from running the affairs of Nigerian football that prompted the suspension have been withdrawn."

PREVIEW: IceCaps host Sound Tigers, aim for seventh straight win Posted by IceCaps on
Friday, March 7 and Saturday March 8
SOUND TIGERS (26-26-1-4, 57 PTS | 3rd Place, Northeast) at ICECAPS (34-19-1-3, 72 PTS | 2nd Place, Atlantic)
Puck Drop: 7:30 PM NT | Watch: Rogers TV, AHL Live | Listen: stjohnsicecaps.com, 930 AM
The St. John's IceCaps pushed their win streak to six games with their victory over the Binghamton Senators and are looking to make it seven in a row when they host the Bridgeport Sound Tigers for a two-game set starting Friday night at Mile One Centre.
The IceCaps haven't lost since Feb. 16 and would set a franchise record for most consecutive wins with a win on Friday night. The IceCaps last won six games in a row just over one month ago, when they rattled off a string of victories from Jan. 20 to Feb. 1 and outscored their opponents 26-12 in the process.
The IceCaps' current streak has been equally strong, as they have outscored the opposition 28-14 in the six victories.
LAST GAME: Goaltender Michael Hutchinson stole the show last Saturday night and finished the game with a 42-save shutout as the IceCaps blanked the Senators 1-0 at Mile One Centre in St. John's.
Eric O'Dell's 15th goal of the season, a power play tally at the 11:41 mark of the first period, was the only goal of the game as both teams had hot goaltenders between the pipes.
Binghamton's Andrew Hammond stood tall and allowed one goal on 25 shots in a losing effort.
The night belonged to Hutchinson, who recorded his second shutout of the season in just his 17th start.
NOTES FROM LAST GAME: Not dressed for St. John's: Kris Fredheim, Cody Lampl, Ryan Schnell, Josh Lunden, Austen Brassard, Eddie Pasquale… Michael Hutchinson stopped all 17 shots he faced in the opening period… Hutchinson has won 12 of his 18 appearances this season… Kael Mouillierat extended his point streak to eight games, tying a team high this season… Kyle MacKinnon saw his five-game point streak come to an end… John Albert's three-game goal streak was snapped… Molson Canadian Three Stars: 1. Michael Hutchinson 2. Eric O'Dell 3. Stephane Da Costa… Mary Brown's Hardest Working Player: Julian Melchiori.
INJURY UPDATE: Kris Fredheim, Ryan Schnell, Eddie Pasquale
TRANSACTIONS: Mar. 6: John Albert (C) recalled from loan by Winnipeg (NHL)
QUICK HITS: With just 19 games remaining in the 2013-14 AHL season, the IceCaps' playoff hopes remain very strong. The team's recent hot streak, the longest current winning streak in the AHL at six games, puts them in fourth place in the Eastern Conference and just eight points behind the first place Manchester Monarchs, who have played three more games than the IceCaps… Though the weather may have been cold in St. John's throughout the month of February, the IceCaps remained red hot, posting an 8-4 record in 12 games. Since the beginning of 2014, the IceCaps have been one of the hottest teams in the AHL, winning 18 of 25 games… Eric O'Dell seems to have found his scoring touch. With a goal in the team's last game, he now has goals in back-to-back games for the first time since Nov. 24 and has failed to score a point in just one of his last nine games since returning from a stint in Winnipeg on Feb. 9… With a win, overtime loss or shootout loss Friday, the IceCaps would tie the franchise record with points in eight straight games, set from Oct. 29 to Nov. 13, 2011.
PREVIOUS MATCHUPS: The IceCaps and Sound Tigers do not know each other very well, having met just once in the past two seasons. The teams last met earlier this season on Nov. 24 in Bridgeport where the IceCaps squeaked out a 4-3 victory at Webster Bank Arena.
St. John's owns a 4-0-1-0 lifetime record against Bridgeport, including a 1-0-1-0 mark at Mile One.
STJ: Jerome Samson 3 PTS (3A) | Eric O'Dell 3 PTS (2G, 1A) | (x) Jussi Olkinuora (1-0-0, 3.02 GAA, .864 SV%)
BRI: Johan Sundstrom 2 PTS (1G, 1A) | Marc Cantin 1 PTS (1A) | (x) Parker Milner (0-1-0, 4.15 GAA, 0.862 SV%)
SOUND TIGERS RECENT ACTION: MAR 2: UTI 2 BRI 1 | Utica Comets' goaltender Joacim Eriksson earned first-star honours with a 29-save performance as the Comets topped the Sound Tigers 2-1 at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport on Sunday night. Utica struck early as Nicklas Jensen scored his 15th goal of the season just 17 seconds into the game. Bridgeport's Alan Quine managed to tie the game four minutes into the second frame but Utica surged ahead for good on Benn Ferriero's 19th of the year just 2:42 into the final period. Kevin Poulin got the start between the pipes for Bridgeport and made 27 saves.
SOUND TIGERS TRANSACTIONS: Mar. 5: Matt Donovan (D) Recalled from loan by NY Islanders (NHL). Mike Halmo Recalled from loan by NY Islanders (NHL). Mar. 4: Matt Mangene (C) Loaned from NY Islanders (NHL). Mar. 3: Justin Johnson (RW) Released from SPC. Mar. 2: Mike Halmo (LW) Returned on loan from NY Islanders (NHL). Mar. 1: Anders Nilsson (G) Recalled from loan by NY Islanders (NHL). Mar. 1: Kevin Poulin (G) Loaned from NY Islanders (NHL).

If elected president, Barack Obama has chosen Joe Biden to assume the office of President should something happen to Obama.
Media outlets are buzzing with stories on Obama, Biden, and Obama-Biden. Here is a quick trip around the horn:
The Trumpet Resounds:
Alexander Burns and John F. Harris provide a sketch of Biden for those unfamiliar with him or his record.
Trumpeting from the Right:
Hugh Hewitt agree's with the assessment of Biden that he is the "stupid person's idea of a smart person's candidate." Hewitt argues that picking Biden means that, "Obama has added to his unsteady candidacy an epic amount Beltway cluelessness and arrogance unsupported by anything except frequent flier miles and Delaware's love for a chuckle-headed fellow with a big smile." Cliff the Mail Man for Vice-President.
Proving that he understands the language of Obama's core support demographic, Washington Post On Faith columnist and Scriptorium Daily contributor John Mark Reynolds says "LOL" to Obama's seemingly unwise choice. Noting the unique role that a Vice-President can play, Reynold's says, "You look all over America able to choose the person (other than yourself) most fit to be President of the United States. It is a primary with one voter and you can choose your own Socrates, since he need not win over the masses." Instead of choosing Socrates, Obama chose Empedocles.
The editors at National Review Online question whether Obama's choice of Biden for VP leaves any hope for change in Washington.
Trumpeting from the Left:
Mike Allen quotes Obama spokesperson Linda Douglass who attempts to refute the notion that Biden eliminates any hope for change in Washington. According to Douglass, ""He's stared down dictators all around the world. He has decades of experience in Washington and, yet, uniquely, he is not of Washington…He is the perfect person you could try to find to get away from the failed policies of the Bush administration. He is an independent thinker. Joe Biden, as you well know, has never been at a loss for words."
At the Daily Kos they see Biden as a strong choice for Obama. Noting that Obama did not merely want a "yes man" Kos references this Obama quote, "I want somebody who is independent. Somebody who is able to say to me, 'you know what, Mr. President, I think you're wrong on this and here's why' and will give me (applause) who will help me think through major issues and consult with me, would be a key advisor." Joe Biden certainly does not seem to be one who would merely say "yes."
Finally, James P. Rubin argues that Joe Biden is the right man at the right time. According to Rubin, Biden's "foreign policy experience and wisdom are unmatched in American politics. There is no one in Congress who has been around as long, who understands the international realities better, or whose judgment has proven sounder than Joe Biden's."
Blowing My Own Horn
Barack Obama's VP pick confirms my suspicion that Barack Obama is the biggest thing in his universe. Biden has useful political experience and foreign policy gravitas, but his gaffe prone long-windedness and his inability to excite more than 1% of Democrat voters in this last primary means that he will not overshadow Obama. While it is commendable of Barack Obama to pursue someone who would not be a "yes man," especially in the area of foreign policy, there seem to be other individuals who fit this bill. Why did Obama not choose Bill Richardson whose has as much political gravitas as Biden with a much more diverse resume and who would have put the battle ground state of New Mexico in play?
McCain supporters have reason to be of good cheer.

Around the Horn: Joe Biden for Vice-President

The Miami Dolphins appear just a day away from landing their most coveted free agent. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the "league-wide expectation" is that Miami will sign former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Mike Wallace when free agency begins on Tuesday.
Miami has been the favorite to land Wallace all along. The Dolphins have the cap room and are in desperate need for a No. 1 receiver and a deep threat. Wallace fills those roles.
Most expect Wallace's contract to be in the range of $11-$12 million per season. That's a lot of coin, but it's also the price of doing business with quality wide receivers. Dwayne Bowe recently signed a five-year, $56 million contract to stay with the Kansas City Chiefs. That is the bar Miami and Wallace are currently working with.
Is Wallace a lock for Miami? You can never be 100 percent sure with free agency until pen hits the paper. However, Miami signing the top receiver on the open market appears to be one of the safer bets this offseason.

It's all about proportions. Maps can be whatever size you like, so long as the features in them are proportional to the game screen. Personally, I wouldn't like to walk down a forest path for half a minute (traversing many screen widths) only to find it's a dead end. On the other hand, huge forest mazes where the dead ends are short and don't take up much time to explore (i.e. about 10 seconds tops for the return trip) would be fine. It's all about the sense of progression, which is something you don't get when you're forever stumbling down mile-long dead ends and not making much real progress. On the other hand, very long boring paths in which nothing happens is just as bad, even if you are heading in the right direction. You can't even do something clever with the camera angles like that bridge in Isshu (which was still tedious, by the way).
Another disadvantage of large maps is that they're much more difficult to fill in. Consequently some don't, and have awful wide open spaces. And the way you fill in the space is important too - an array of fields is neither clever nor nice. If it's not adding anything to the map other than "realism", and particularly if the player should never have to venture near it, then get rid of it - put it on the other side of an untraversable fence or something. You can still have it, just don't force the player to go through it.
Of course, as I mentioned, not all huge maps are bad by default (just all the ones I've ever seen are). They can be good, so long as you remember how big the window is and keep the map features to that scale, and keep things interesting (enemy trainers/acres of long grass are not interesting).
Oh, and huge maps means more events, which means more lag. Just saying.
I have in mind a huge, open wasteland that the player has to survive in, and I've been trying to work out how to map it. I'm going to make the screen size of the game pretty large, but I know I'm still going to have issues with too much open space and not enough interesting things. See, a huge part of my game is realism, with (hopefully) a lot of OW events and actions. You've given me a lot to think of, so thanks.
You may not realise it, but you the whole point of a beta is to report glitches and spelling errors so the full game doesn't have them.
Good point! It seems a lot of people don't realize that. Bleh.

A single-country exchange traded fund indexed to France traded higher Wednesday, following European stocks despite Moody's downgrading a pair of French banks.
Societe Generale and Credit Agricole were cut by Moody's, which cited exposure to Greek debt, Reuters reported.
"But the euro and European stocks were lifted by an announcement by the head of the European Commission that it would soon present options for issuing a common Eurozone bond, despite huge political hurdles especially in Germany," according to the article.
A conference call was scheduled for later Wednesday between Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The iShares MSCI France (NYSEArca: EWQ) rose 2% in U.S. trading.
Manager BlackRock said the France ETF was seeing heaving trading volume Wednesday. It said exposure to SocGen and Credit Agricole is fairly low at about 3% combined of the portfolio.
"France is in the forefront today with Moody's downgrading the credit ratings of SocGen and Credit Agricole, two of the country's largest banks. Both stocks have come off their session lows to rally going into the European market close," BlacRock added.
In precious metals, gold ETFs continue to be supported by worries over Europe's debt crisis.
"European banks are losing deposits as savers and money funds spooked by the region's debt crisis search for havens, a trend that could worsen economic and financial conditions," Bloomberg reported Wednesday.

Two UNO Hockey Players Dismissed From Team
On Friday afternoon UNO Athletic Director Trev Alberts released a statement saying they were made aware of an incident that happened in the morning of August 3rd and involved three players, Preston Hodge, Matt White and Alex Simonson.
After an internal investigation, which Alberts says included a discussion with the Omaha Police Department, Hodge and White were dismissed from the team and are no longer on scholarship.
In addition, Simonson has been suspended pending further investigation by the athletic department. "We are extremely disappointed in the actions of these students," Alberts says. "We will not tolerate any misconduct of this nature. We will continue to work diligently to ensure our student athletes understand the importance of tolerance and respect for others".
All three were ticketed for disoderly conduct.

The growth of India's economy owed much to the country's position along the famous Silk Road, which was exactly what it sounds like—a canal for transporting rocks. Taste what trade made with this Groupon.
$10 for $20 Worth of North Indian and Pakistani Cuisine
The menu includes authentic Mughal starters such as pani puri. Entrees include Ziyaafat specialties such as murgh mughlai—seared chicken cooked with mild yet flavorful spices and topped with creamy gravy and almonds, as well as delhi nihari—authentic Delhi style curry with prime cut pieces of boneless beef slow‐cooked with fiery spices. Desserts include items such as gulab jamun—cheese balls topped with sugary syrup and pistachio.
Ziyaafat's chefs expertly organize the ancient flavors of imperial Mughal cuisine in a menu packed with authentic Indian dishes. In the kitchen, cooks sear chicken to create the murgh mughlai, then cook it with mild spices and top it with creamy gravy and almonds. Spicy dishes such as Afghan mutton karhai, an Afghan delicacy that braises bone-in mutton in a spicy tomato sauce, rest on plates above crimson table settings in Ziyaafat's dining room. The restaurant also caters corporate functions and special events with their mobile services, which proves ideal for family reunions held in a local investment firm's conference room.
