U.S. Federal Court: $675,000 Fine to Grad Student Pirate's 30 Songs is "Fair"

Big media scores a major win over U.S. citizens
Want to pirate music? You'd be better off breaking into a store and stealing CDs in the real world.
That's the message sent by
U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts
Judge Rya W. Zobel
[PDF] with fellow Judge Nancy Gertner who
[PDF] a jury's ruling in the case RIAA v. Tenenbaum that the defendant was
liable for $675,000
in damages for "willful infringement" of 30 songs via Kazaa.
Judge Gertner had subsequently
[PDF] the damages to $67,500, commenting:
[Recent] decisions have underscored the fact that the Constitution protects not only criminal defendants from the imposition of "cruel and unusual punishments," U.S. Const. amend. VIII, but also civil defendants facing arbitrarily high punitive awards.
U.S. Recording Industry Association of America
and its major media labels disagreed that asking a graduate student in physics, who typically earns between a $15,000-$30,000 USD yearly stipend, to pay $675,000 for non-commercial infringement of 30 works was unfair. Thus it appealed the ruling.
Mr. Tenenbaum also appealed the ruling, with his attorney arguing the jury received improper instructions and that the fine was still too excessive.
The new ruling by Judge Zobel addressed those appeals, leaning heavily in the RIAA's favor. As a result of the appeals, the reduction by Judge Gertner, who is now retired, is vacated. That means Mr. Tenenbaum is now on the hook for the full $675,000 USD in damages, punishment the retired Judge Gertner argued was unconstitutionally cruel.
But Mr. Tenenbaum's options for escaping that massive fine are dwindling, after the U.S. Supreme Court
[PDF] to hear the case.
Mr. Tenenbaum is at least fiscally a bit better prepared to deal with the crippling economic sanctions that a jury of his peers leveled on him. He
received a Ph.D
in physics from
Boston University
in 2012, having written 9 peer-reviewed papers. The average for various Ph.D positions in physics ranges from $80,000 to $90,000 USD [
], so with federal taxes and basic living expenses, Mr. Tenenbaum could theoretically pay off his debt to big media in 15 to 20 years.

The BU student was represented by
Harvard Law School
Professor Charles Nesson
, a prominent critic of the RIAA.
Fortunately for grad students everywhere there probably won't be a lot more cases like Mr. Tenenbaum's; the RIAA has
largely halted its threats campaign
, after it
lost far more money
than it earned. Of course if the RIAA
succeeds in lobbying politicians
to pass certain laws,
taxpayers could be forced to pick up the high bills
for new and even more ambitious copyright crackdowns at the behest of big media.
(The original number of songs to be considered in the 2007 trial was 31, but one song was removed.)

Growing up kids often wonder how the math they learn in class is significant, other than to help them past 5th grade. Math teachers and parents return the whiny complaints with generally vague facts of how math is used everyday and everywhere, not just in school.
Today, the growing use of math in a vast amount of other fields is easily seen a recognized. However, math is not only used in basic life activities, but it is utilized in saving life. Doctors are increasingly aware of the advantage of using mathematical models to provide better diagnoses and treatments for patients.
Harvard scientists are contributing to the marriage of math and science, specifically in the field of Biosciences. Mathematicians are working with scientists from Harvard and Doctors from John Hopkins to design more patient specific drug therapies such as drug cocktails for patients with HIV.

Finding Nemo Seagull
March 20, 2012 by staff
Finding Nemo Seagull, Finding Nemo is a 2003 American-Australian comedy-drama animated film written and directed by Andrew Stanton, produced by Pixar Animation Studios, and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It tells the story of the overly protective clownfish Marlin (Albert Brooks) who, along with a regal tang called Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), searches for his abducted son Nemo (Alexander Gould).
Along the way, Marlin learns to take risks and to let Nemo take care of himself. It is Pixar's first movie to be released in cinemas in the summer. The film received overwhelmingly positive reviews and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. It was the second highest-grossing film of 2003, behind The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, earning a total of $868 million worldwide.
Finding Nemo is also the best-selling DVD of all time, with over 40 million copies sold as of 2006, and was the highest-grossing G-rated film of all time, before Pixar's own Toy Story 3 overtook it. It is also the fifth highest-grossing animated film of all time and the 26th highest-grossing film of all time. In 2008, the American Film Institute named it the 10th greatest animated film ever made during their Top 10.

In an interview to Female First, Hilary Duff said, "I love being a mom but I try to tell everyone it's the hardest, best thing ever. It's so unbelievably rewarding and I'm pretty Zen about it but some days it's just hard. You're tired." The actress added, "It never ends, it never turns off and even when you're not with them, and you're maybe having a weekend away or something, your brain is always going, so that can be really exhausting."
She gave birth to her son in March last year. She said, "We kind of think he's a hybrid baby. I mean he is a hybrid baby. It's true but then when you see him with my husband, they look just alike." She added, "He has a little temper and I think he gets it from me and he knows exactly what he wants all the time and I think he gets that from me but he is like rough and tumble, total boy, bulldozer and it's so funny."
Hilary Duff, who is also planning a big family holiday for Mother's Day, said: "Last Mother's Day was pretty easy going because I had just had him. This year we're actually going away on a beach. I told my mom that we're all going. I'm so excited, can't wait." (IANS)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/5/2013 (1565 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A suspected drug dealer has learned the folly of driving around town in a car with expired licence plates.
Winnipeg Police said officers were patrolling near the intersection of Salter Street and Pritchard Avenue at about 10:40 a.m. Monday when they spotted a vehicle being driven with "inactive" licence plates.
Police say that when they pulled over the driver, they discovered his driver's licence also was suspended.
A subsequent search of the vehicle turned up 10 individually packed syringes, about 45 grams of methamphetaminewith an estimated street value of $13,410, other drug-related paraphernalia, and numerous pieces of identification that did not belong to the driver.
A 37-year-old man is now facing a variety of charges, including possessing a substance for the purpose of trafficking, obtaining or possessing someone else's identity information, and a number of Highway Traffic Act offences.

Snowfall at Osseo was nearing a foot by sunrise; Court will rule on same-sex benefits; Walker advocates GPS bracelets, makes peace with Evers; more briefs
National Weather Service forecasters say most of Wisconsin will continue to get moderate- to heavy snow all the way through Thursday and into the evening and that's bad news for places that have already had up to a foot dumped on them since Wednesday night.
Northfield in Jackson County said it got 12 inches of snow by 6:35 a.m. and Osseo reported 11.2 inches as of 6:45. A Madison TV station measured 8.9 -point-nine inches outside its studios. Howards Grove in Sheboygan County had 7 inches at last word, and West Bend had drizzle along with about 6.25 inches of the white stuff.
Up to 18 inches are predicted along a path from southwest to central to east central Wisconsin. All but the far northwest tip of the state is supposed to get at least three inches.
Wind gusts have reached the 20's and 30's in about the southern half of the state. Forecasters say most of the state could get gusts up to 45 mph and blizzard-like conditions when a low that's now in Missouri moves closer to Wisconsin later Thursday.
The storm has already claimed two lives. Two men from Footville were killed last night when their vehicle slid on an icy Highway 11 in Rock County and hit an oncoming semi-truck.
Sheriff's deputies said Jaime Paiz-Gutierrez, 41, and Guadalupe Ortiz, 45, both of Footville, both died at the scene. The truck driver was taken to a Janesville hospital with minor injuries.
The crash happened near Footville, which is about 10 miles west of Janesville and not far from Edgerton, which reported sleet as well as more than five inches of snow between Wednesday night and early
Thursday morning.
Appeals court may decide same-sex couple rights today
We could find out today whether same-sex couples in Wisconsin will continue to have dozens of legal rights.
The state's Fourth District Appeals Court in Madison is scheduled to rule on a challenge to the state's domestic partner registry.
The Wisconsin Family Action group says the registry violates the state's constitutional ban against gay marriage and civil unions. It was formed in 2009, and a circuit judge in Madison ruled last year that it's constitutional. The registry allows same-sex couples to receive up to one-fifth of the nearly 200 benefits that married couples get in the Badger State. That includes the right for partners to visit each other in hospitals - and to make end-of-life decisions.
The case has been kicked around the courts ever since the domestic partner registry took effect - and before. The Family Action group first asked the Supreme Court to strike it down before it could take effect but the justices said the group had to use the normal channels of going to the circuit court first.
After the law was upheld there, Family Action appealed the ruling to the Madison appellate panel - which refused to rule on it, and kicked it upstairs to the Supreme Court. The justices said the appellate court had to make a ruling, and that's what we expect today, weather permitting.
Former legislator Fields named to Social Development Commission
MILWAUKEE -- A state legislator who lost his re-election bid in August will serve on Milwaukee's Social Development Commission.
Gov. Scott Walker named Jason Fields to the 18-member panel Wednesday. The appointment came less than a week after the board of the anti-poverty agency had a major shake-up - and some board members had criticized Walker for not showing enough of a regard for what the commission does.
The Republican governor went almost 18 months without appointing anyone to the SDC. Walker said Fields, a Democrat, has a strong dedication to the people of Milwaukee - and it's exactly what the commission needs.
Fields served eight years in the Assembly before losing to Mandela Barnes in last summer's Democratic primary. A group called Wisconsin Progress said it took credit for the defeats of Fields and 29-year Assembly veteran Peggy Krusick.
Fields went against his party by supporting private school vouchers for low-income kids - which the Wisconsin Progress group opposes.
Walker favors GPS bracelets for abuse suspects
MADISON -- Gov. Scott Walker says domestic abuse suspects who are under restraining orders should be placed on global positioning system monitors, so victims can know if their abusers are close by.
Walker told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he's still working on the proposal and it might be included in the next state budget he'll submit to the Legislature in February.
The governor is under pressure to support gun law changes in response to last week's school massacre in Newtown Connecticut but Walker says he wants to wait until more is known about the causes of that tragedy and he wants to see what President Obama asks Congress to approve.
Obama has said he would spell out of his gun control measures in the next few weeks. In the meantime, Walker says he'll address reforms that could avoid a repeat of the Sikh Temple shootings in Oak Creek by white supremist Wade Michael Page and the October murders of three women in a Brookfield spa by one of the victims' estranged husband.
Walker said he's cautious to say that any reforms would prevent any violence because quote, "nothing's fool-proof." But Brookfield gunman Radcliffe Haughton was under a restraining order at the time of the slayings and nd if he had worn a GPS bracelet, Walker said his wife could have known he was coming.
Earlier this year, Walker signed a law letting judges put violators of restraining orders on GPS if they're found to be likely to cause harm to the person who sought the order. That law takes full effect in 2014.
Deadline passes for S.S. Badger to cease ash-dumping
MANIOWOC -- A federal deadline came and went Wednesday for the S.S. Badger to stop dumping coal ash into Lake Michigan, when it carries cars and people from Manitowoc to Ludington Michigan.
The 60-year-old ferry is the last steamship of its kind operating on the Great Lakes and it's been under orders to find a cleaner way to handle its emissions. The company says it's looking at alternatives, but it needs more time. After getting a four-year grace period in 2008, the Badger says it needs another EPA permit renewal or it will have to shut down.
The EPA says it will make a tentative decision on a permit by March 1st, and will then issue a final ruling after taking public comments.
The agency says it has received about 6,000 letters and e-mails about the subject - many from residents of the Manitowoc and Ludington areas who say it's part of their heritage, and it should be preserved.
Congressmen for those two areas tried to sneak an extension into a budget bill, but it didn't work. They say the economy of the two areas is at stake.
A competing ferry, Milwaukee's Lake Express, says it doesn't get special treatment from the government and the Badger shouldn't, either. The Badger issued a statement Wednesday vowing it will run in 2013, and they'll keep working with the EPA to make it happen.
Walker won't criticize Evers for signing a recall petition
State public school Superintendent Tony Evers says he has no regrets about signing a petition to recall Gov. Scott Walker and Walker says he won't hold it against Evers, as the governor decides whether he'll endorse anyone in next spring's election for state superintendent. Evers is running for a second four-year term next spring, and he's being challenged by State Assembly Republican Don Pridemore of Hartford. Walker said yesterday that he's still trying to decide whether to endorse either of the candidates - and he won't let his decision be affected by Evers' signing a recall petition. The superintendent was among the 900-thousand people who petitioned for a recall election against the Republican Walker earlier this year - which Walker won by seven points. Evers had been critical of Walker's proposal to virtually end collective bargaining by most public unions, a move that was since overturned for public schools and local governments. Walker also cut K-to-12 school funding by $800 million but later, the governor and Evers worked together on a number of issues - including new school performance standards, early childhood screenings for literacy, and a new program that allows non-traditional students to use their life experiences toward college credits
Walker and Evers both say their politics have not always been aligned, but they've found ways to work together.
Newtown shootings spurring copy-cat threats
Authorities across the nation are trying to put a clamp on copy-cat incidents and threats, in the wake of last Friday's school massacre in Newtown Connecticut.
In Wisconsin, the Pewaukee School District evacuated students from its middle-and-high school building Wednesday afternoon.
Superintendent Jo Ann Sternke said the threat was aimed at the high school and while officials did not believe it was credible, the youngsters were evacuated anyway as a precaution.
All afternoon and evening activities were canceled at Pewaukee High and the entire Pewaukee district is closed Thursday due to the snowstorm and the expected blizzard conditions.
Five inches of snow had fallen by 6 a.m. at nearby Sullivan.
Service will remember homeless dead
GREEN BAY -- A memorial service was planned in Green Bay and three other Wisconsin cities Thursday, to remember homeless people who died on the streets.
The St. John the Evangelist homeless shelter normally holds the annual service on the shortest day of the year.
Laura Robinson is the shelter's ministry team coordinator. She says they've identified five people who died in the last year while being homeless. A candle will be lit for each of those people, along with a sixth to represent those who went unidentified or unnamed.
Similar memorial services are planned in La Crosse, Racine, and Kenosha.
Robinson tells Wisconsin Public Radio that the homeless have much shorter life expectancies than others - and they're more likely to be victims of violence.
The Green Bay Catholic Diocese oversees the shelter, which is only open during the cold weather season. Around 60 people have spent the night there this fall and Robinson says more people are expected later in the winter at Green Bay shelters which already have waiting lists.
Waterloo man gets 7 years for possessing almost 40 pounds of drugs
A southern Wisconsin man has been sentenced to seven years in a federal prison, after he admitted possessing almost 40 pounds of drugs.
Chad Ruenger, 33, of Waterloo was arrested in May, when he was caught with 35 pounds of marijuana, three pounds of hashish, and three handguns.
He pleaded guilty in October to federal charges of possessing marijuana with the intent to sell, and possessing firearms while drug trafficking.
In a related case, 27-year-old Josh Campbell of Madison will be sentenced next month after he pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute pot.
Three men from Fairfax California are scheduled to go on trial in late March on drug possession and conspiracy charges in the same sales ring.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/3/2010 (2718 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
And because of that, Point Douglas has gone from being a high-crime area to a low-crime area in three years.
Many people have followed our struggle as we went from a community with 32 crack houses, a recognizable gang presence, where kids were afraid to go out in the evening, to one with crime but where the criminals are afraid of the community.
What most people aren't aware of is the crucial role aboriginal people living in Point Douglas have played. When the Powerline system was first dreamed of, it was a Métis elder who suggested the strategy. I remember Sandy Dzedzora sitting in our living room, glass of homemade red wine in hand saying: "There are five crack houses on my block. Why don't we start with them."
Two months later the dealers were evicted or arrested and people were phoning: "I've got a crack house on my street, why don't you close that one." And we would and the Powerline was born.
Fifty per cent of the population of Point Douglas is aboriginal, the huge majority wonderful neighbours and community members.
We arranged a community survey, organized by Heather Geddie, which reached into the rooming houses and grungy hotels no survey had reached before. Eighty per cent of the respondents placed gangs, crime and drug sales at the top of the list of problems. Interestingly, 80 per cent of aboriginal people put gangs, crime and drugs at the top of the problems of the community too, the same as the non-aboriginal population. Heather, who operates a home polling business, Point Research, indicated that she had mostly aboriginal interviewers which encouraged participation. Once we got started identifying the crack houses and the gang hangouts we were inundated with anonymous calls letting the Powerline know what the bad guys were up to.
We had a rally, three years ago, "Make Point Douglas a Crack Free Zone". Two hundred people showed up. No one commented at the time, but over half of the crowd were aboriginal people who wanted a safer area to live in.
While the Powerline, the anonymous email and phone line, based at our house, continued to receive information about crack houses, we worried that we would be seen as a white group. Sandy Dzedzora, a Métis elder, and her husband, Terry, a First Nations elder and retired school teacher, continued to support, guide and encourage the Powerline.
One afternoon, two and a half years ago, we received a call on the Powerline that made us realize that everyone was involved in cleaning out the gangs and drugs from Point Douglas.
A very small voice from a young aboriginal mother called: "The Indian Posse have moved in next door and we're scared." After a short conversation, my wife Chris went into action. This was a serious threat, so we went straight to the police. That sounds clear enough. Well, in those days the police didn't always talk to each other. Chris sent the information, address, description, threat, to four different police sections, or silos as they are often called. We don't know which one of the four responded -- the police rarely tell us anything -- but 48 hours later the Posse member was taken out in handcuffs.
That in itself isn't a rare occurrence. What happened next was. The young aboriginal mom was out on the street telling her friends and neighbours "I got rid of the Posse."
What that told us was that the aboriginal community was no more willing to put up with crime than the white community. As we moved the Zig-Zag Crew and other mainly white gangs out of Point Douglas we knew we had the totally honest 95 per cent on side. Criminals knew there were people watching them, honest people who would call if they broke community standards. A son of one of our Powerline folk was working on a construction crew with some putative gang members who were bragging about what streets they controlled. What about Point Douglas? he asked. Oh, we don't go into Point Douglas any more. Too many people are watching.
We didn't ask people to walk the streets, we just suggested, two, three houses on each side of you are your family's turf. If you don't want gangs and crack dealers, give us a call. So ended the code of silence in Point Douglas as the community, white and aboriginal, came together to make a safer place.
There are still criminals living in Point Douglas, white and aboriginal, but they all know that there are many eyes on the street, and the eyes come from the entire Point Douglas community. Most of the time we can convince people it isn't worth their while to deal drugs and hurt people in our area. If they do, we normally get them evicted. Our aboriginal friends taught us that it was much worse to be evicted than sent to jail for a short sentence. A young guy walking along the street with all his possessions in two green plastic garbage bags doesn't make for the same macho image.
We have one remaining crime centre, a rooming house owned and run by a white guy. We received a call from an aboriginal housing organization complaining that this white guy's place is so bad they can't get an aboriginal family to move into the house next door. When disgusting racism rears its ugly head as it did recently in Winnipeg, we need to think of the overwhelming majority of aboriginal people in Winnipeg who are honest neighbours. All of us are part of the solution to crime and the aboriginal community of Point Douglas has proven they want in.

I got an email recently from Kristen, who wrote:
So, I'm 32 going on 20. I have had gray hair my whole life but in the last 5 years it has been rapidly taking over my head! I'm ok with it. My mom would be fully gray, if not for befriending clairol many many years ago. I'm far too lazy and cheap to dye my hair. Also, I just figure this is what I was given, so I'm going with it. I'm contacting you because I'm hoping you might be able to help me. I'm sure you know, but finding info about gray hair care for a person under the age of 50 is pretty difficult. I know the texture changes but I just don't know how to care for it. If you have any pointers, I would be incredibly grateful!
I've actually been meaning to write a post on this for a while, because it really is such a journey, and there isn't much out there for younger women with natural hair. It's been so rare in recent decades that even most stylists don't have a clue.
Personally, it took me a while to figure it out. And the kicker, of course, is that no one around you realizes you just don't know how to care for your hair yet, they just think you're crazy and your hair looks bad. OK, people probably still think I'm crazy, but my hair looks better these days.
And it certainly looks better for not letting anyone chop it off!
The secret to gray hair is this: MOISTURE MOISTURE MOISTURE. And styling products.
As someone with fine, wavy hair, I spent my youth on volumizing hair products. I also used as few products as possible, so as not to weigh my hair down. And I lived in Florida, so moisture wasn't ever an issue.
Grow out your gray, and suddenly you have an entirely different situation. (Note, I've no idea about thick gray hair, or straight gray hair, but I suspect that the moisture issue is universal.)
These days I use moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Don't be afraid if you have fine hair and it says it's for medium thick hair. Then, I spray on and comb through a leave-in conditioner, and if at all possible I air dry my hair, sometimes running a shine product through it when it's almost dry.
I usually style my hair with a curling iron, see pic above. Before I use the iron, I spray on a heat protector, and after I have curled it all, I use the most important thing, a smoothing cream. I rub it on my hands, and then lightly run my fingers through my hair, underside first so it doesn't go on too heavy on top.
Then, hairspray for fine hair, and I use a touch of sculpting gel on my part to try to minimize flyaways. Which there's only so much you can do about those, but when they're gray they're more noticeable, so I do what I can.
You can see me talk about using the gel to tame flyaways in this video book review I did of "Going Gray" by Anne Kreamer, which is an awesome book that I highly recommend. By the way, I'm still using that same tub of sculpting jelly from 4 years ago! When you just use a touch a day, it lasts a really long time.
I also use a purple shampoo and a moisturizing treatment at least once a month. I find the purple shampoos, which keep your grays nice and cool, to be fairly drying, so I always pair this with a deep moisturizing treatment.
So that seems like a lot of products when I write it down. Seriously, the fact that my hair could now withstand, and in fact needs, what's basically an onslaught of products was a huge revelation for me.
Beyond products, regular hair cuts are SUPER important. You don't spend money on dye, but you also can't go a year without a hair cut. I go every 4 months now; that seems to be the sweet spot. You've got to keep gray hair healthy and trimmed, no matter what the length. A trim makes a huge difference in manageability, and if your hair is ever looking raggedy or driving you crazy with tangles and flyaways, the first thing you should think about is, when did you last get it cut.
And finally, my last piece of advice is ROCK IT. I don't get as many compliments on my hair or my looks as I did before I went gray, and certainly some people hate it, and I've had some negative consequences and experiences. But a few times a year someone crosses a room or makes a point in conversation to tell me my hair rocks. Over the years, these people have been young and old, male and female.
If I'm meeting someone new, they're never confused which woman is me. I'll often say, I'll be the only woman under fifty with gray hair. Or I'll call it "cinnamon and sugar." I'm a special snowflake in an urban sea of black clothes and brightly dyed hair. It suits me just fine.
To recap:
- Moisture, and don't be afraid to layer on the hair products.
- Regular hair cuts.
- Rock it.
It's also *really* helpful to seek out opportunities to see pictures of all sorts of women with all sorts of gray hair. It will help you pick a cut, and if necessary, help you convince your stylist that gray hair doesn't mean you can't have a more youthful look.
Good luck! And if you have any more gray hair care advice, I'd love to hear it in the comments. Rock and joy.

Salon: New York Times Opinion Section Is Insufficiently Liberal
Common-ground alert: Salon's Alex Pareene doesn't think much of the New York Times's opinion columnists as a group, and neither, presumably, do NewsBusters readers. As for the reasons why, well, let's just say most of Pareene's almost certainly aren't the same as yours.
Pareene blasts Maureen Dowd for "sloppiness, not to mention rote repetition of themes and jokes and incredibly lazy thinking" and skewers Nick Kristof for his alleged "do-gooder liberalism [which] involves the bizarre American conviction that bombing places is a great way to help them." He likes Thomas Friedman even less, writing that Friedman "is an embarrassment" who "writes stupid things, for stupid people, about complicated topics" and "dutifully pushes a stultifyingly predictable center-right agenda."
As for the Times's arguably righty columnists, Pareene believes that one is too respectful of modern conservatism and that the other appears too intelligent to take conservative positions:
-- "David Brooks...seems genuinely tired of himself and ought to have his column killed primarily to put him out of his misery. Brooks is the sort of conservative Times editors aren't embarrassed to publish, though they probably ought to be. He is devoted to furthering the notion that there is an honest and useful intellectual wing of the conservative movement, dedicated to addressing economic iniquities and so on, but he has been trying for so long to imagine a sensible Republican Party into existence that he can't still think it's going to happen soon."
-- "Ross Douthat is a thoughtful writer who usually engages sincerely with liberal ideas and thinkers — which, you know, shouldn't be a particularly notable trait for a serious opinion writer, but this is the modern conservative movement we're talking about. Douthat's conservatism is idiosyncratic only in that it is espoused by a seemingly smart person."
Pareene praises NYTers Gail Collins, Charles Blow, and, especially, Paul Krugman, "who would be the most influential columnist in the country if it weren't for the fact that elected officials routinely refuse to listen to him. Poor Paul Krugman, our Sisyphus of elite opinion, eternally doomed to the same arguments with the same people, forever."
Also from Pareene's Tuesday piece:
As America's newspapers shrink and die, the New York Times only grows in importance. It is effectively America's last truly national newspaper. Its coverage decisions influence the coverage decisions of every other paper and all television news broadcasts, cable and network. Politicians and executives read it. What the Times says and does frames the allowable political conversation.
Which is why it is so annoying that the Times has a terrible opinion section.
Don't get me wrong, it is not as bad at the Washington Post's opinion section, but the Times — specifically its slate of regular columnists — is bad. And that badness matters. The president and most of the sane members of Congress care what the Times and its opinion-makers say. The opinions of these columnists have consequences. But most of them don't write like people who ought to be entrusted with that responsibility...
These tired hacks have a near-monopoly on political opinion writing in the most important newspaper in the world. They set the boundaries of the debate among the elite, and the elite have not lately given us much reason to think that they are receiving great advice...
Blow it up and start again.

Short termism
The Australian Financial Review revealed on Monday that ANZ had sounded out Mr Gonski about becoming the bank's next chairman. Mr Gonski, who has chaired the $90 billion Future Fund since April last year, refused to comment on whether he would be able to perform both roles, but he suggested it would be inappropriate for him to step down from the public scheme in order to take up another big role.
"I don't think I should make any comment on [the chairmanship of ANZ] because I think I should wait to see what the board of ANZ decides. It is an absolute honour to be chairman of the Future Fund and I don't see it as a football that sometimes you turn on and turn off. I am proud to be there," Mr Gonski said.
It is understood that Mr Gonski's fellow directors on the Future Fund board have expressed support for him holding the top board seats at both the investment fund and ANZ, Australia's third-largest bank.
Encourage longer term investing
Speaking at an Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce forum in Sydney on Wednesday, Mr Gonski called on the government to include investment models in its forthcoming review of Australia's financial system.
He said that fund managers' insistence that companies turn short-term profits in order to boost share prices over the near term, combined with the ability for superannuation fund members to switch schemes and investment options with little notice, lowered the preparedness of companies to make decisions for the long term.
"It is incumbent upon us as directors to paint a long-term picture [and upon] big shareholders to work for the long term. I have no doubt that if major shareholders said that is what they want, it would make a big difference," Mr Gonski said.
"The concept of encouraging longer-term investing would be an excellent issue for the financial system inquiry," he said, adding that member education needed to improve.
"If people were educated to look longer, and maybe choice [of fund] was moved out a bit, it would allow super funds to invest for the long term. I don't want to take away rights of members but we have to educate for longer-term thinking," said Mr Gonski.
The business of taking risk
"At the board we talk about five-to-ten year strategies. We're not timid in making investment decisions. We are in the business of taking risk," Ms Hutchinson said.
She said it was incumbent on companies to talk about growth strategies during results presentations, rather than focus on historical figures. The QBE chairman bemoaned the fact that the average tenure of chief executives was just four and a half years. Chief executives, she said, had to be encouraged to think five to 10 years ahead.

For the first time, the Joomla project is conducting a survey to ask for input and feedback about overall goals for the upcoming year. As a community driven project, your participation is important - the results of this survey will be one of the inputs that will help determine Joomla's overall goals for 2013.
This survey will remain open until October 29. [EDIT: The survey has been extended and will remain open through November 10.]. Please follow this link to the english language version (currently available translated versions are listed at the end of this blog) so your input and feedback will be included on this important subject:
[EDIT: Link removed after the survey was closed.]
About the 2013 project goals survey
This survey is 16 questions long and should take less than 15 minutes to complete. No personally identifiable information is collected (although you may optionally include your email address if you want to volunteer to help with future surveys). Here is what this survey consists of:
- The first set of seven required questions asks about how you use Joomla.
- The next set of six required questions looks at three different areas of the project: Joomla features, joomla.org content and services, and overall project support. For each of those areas, you are asked to select your top 5 most important choices from a list of 12, and then answer if you would support having the Joomla project pay contractors or employees if that was required to support your top choices.
- The survey closes with three optional questions that allow you to give suggestions for other project goals, give suggestions for improving future surveys, and provide your email address if you want to volunteer to help create and manage future surveys.
Again, this survey will remain open until October 29. [EDIT: The survey has been extended and will remain open through November 10.] The results of this survey will be published on the Joomla Community Portal later this year.
New Project goals/strategy working group
Creating and publishing the 2013 overall project goals survey is one of the first tasks of the project goals/strategy working group. The decision to form this new working group was made during joint leadership meetings that took place in May of this year.
The purpose of this group is to propose a set of overall goals and strategy for the project, and then to help keep that work on track. Each Joomla leadership team is represented in this working group: Chris Davenport (Production Leadership Team), Olaf Offick (Community Leadership Team), and Paul Orwig (Open Source Matters).
The project goals/strategy working group thanks Nick Savov for setting up the original survey based on the list of questions and answers provided by the working group.
Next steps for 2013 overall project goals
Following the completion of this survey, the project goals/strategy working group will review the results and offer suggestions for 2013 overall project goals. Those suggestions will be reviewed by all Joomla leadership team members before final decisions are made.
Once the project's overall goals for 2013 are finalized, additional members will be recruited to join the working group whose expertise matches those final overall goals.
The final 2013 overall project goals will published. These overall project goals are not intended to PLT, CLT, and OSM goals, but the overall goals may have an impact on what those team level goals will consist of.
Non-english translations of the survey and this blog
The content for this survey and blog were shared in advance with the Joomla translation teams so they could be translated into other languages besides english. Here are the currently completed non-english translations, with thanks to those whose work in this important area is helping to improve Joomla's openness and inclusiveness [EDIT: Links removed after the survey was closed.]:

Durban - Members of the disbanded Cato Manor organised crime unit – who were suspended three months ago – were instructed not to return to duty on Wednesday, even though their three-month suspension has expired.
On Tuesday morning, the members decided to return to work after police management failed to institute disciplinary action on time.
But, at 3pm, they received a letter from the state attorney's office informing them that their suspension would remain in place with full benefits.
The letter said it was not fair for the police to be expected to finalise the disciplinary processes within the three-month period.
But the members claim their suspensions were unlawful after management failed to hold a disciplinary hearing within that period, as stipulated in police regulations and on the suspension notice.
National police spokesman, Brigadier Phuti Sepati, said the suspensions were an internal matter and declined to comment further.
The police officers are facing charges of murder and racketeering after being accused of operating their unit as a "death squad".
In total, 29 men, including KZN Hawks head Major-General Johan Booysen, two officers from the Port Shepstone organised crime unit and three from the SAPS national intervention unit, were suspended in September.
One of the accused, Captain Neville Eva, died last month.
Their attorney, Carl van der Merwe, said that he had sent a letter to national police commissioner General Riah Phiyega, informing her that the members planned to return to work.
"In the past 90 days, we have not heard a word from police management about disciplinary action," he said. "I have written to the national commissioner telling her their suspension was unlawful."
Van der Merwe said police regulations compelled the SAPS to hold a hearing within 60 days of a suspension.
A source close to the members described the lack of action by police management as a gross abuse of the administration process.
The source said police had failed to go ahead with the disciplinary hearing because their evidence against the members had been fabricated.
"Police management are also afraid that the political agenda behind the arrest of these men will be revealed."
The source said members viewed the suspension as a blessing in disguise.
"It allowed them to dissect the more than 20 dockets handed to them by the prosecuting team. The members were also able to investigate the allegations against them. They have come up with a lot of evidence and have found bias from the investigating team.
"They are looking forward to their day in court. Most of these men are seasoned investigators. In their view, this was a shoddy investigation that has cost the taxpayer millions of rand in wasteful expenditure," the source said.
"The investigating team comprised high-ranking officers. They flew between Durban and Johannesburg for a whole year and stayed at fancy hotels. What did they find?"
The members are adamant that they will be vindicated: "We have given years of service to the police. In some instances, members paid with their lives. But, if this is the price we have to pay to expose corruption, we are happy to do so."
They said that if real evidence emerged to prove that they had done something wrong, they were happy to pay the price.
Senior Unisa criminologist Professor Rudolph Zinn said the members were trying to force the hand of police management by returning to work.
"There is no doubt police management will take action to stop them from being on active duty. The provincial commissioner has the authority to place them on special leave," he said.
Zinn said he doubted if the members would be successful in remaining at work before the court processes were finalised.
He said he was concerned that no due process was being followed.
"The police need to fast-track the internal processes. But they just appear to be silent on everything."
was even more worrying, he said, was the credibility of police: "In the eyes of the public, they see the police as an organisation that adhered to the law. By not following due process in this case, the police are losing their integrity.
"They are tainting their own image. The public will end up not trusting them."
The provincial head of the organised crime unit, Brigadier Patrick Mbotho, said he was unaware that members had been due to return to work.
"I have a letter informing me of their suspension," he said.
"I have nothing in writing telling me that the suspension has been lifted." - Daily News

Salvador (Brazil), July 1 (IANS) Italy secured the third spot in the Confederations Cup after a pulsating 3-2 penalty shootout victory here over Uruguay.
After a 2-2 scoreline at the end of extra time Sunday, Gianluigi Buffon saved shots from Diego Forlan, Martin Caceres and Walter Gargano to hand Italy the consolation prize at the World Cup warmup tournament, Xinhua reports.
Earlier, Davide Astori gave Italy the lead with a 24th minute strike that went in off the post before Edinson Cavani equalised just before the hour.
Alessandro Diamanti regained the lead for Cesar Prandelli's side with a superb free-kick but Cavani again tied the scores with another unstoppable shot from a set piece.
Uruguay's vaunted attacking trio of Forlan, Cavani and Luis Suarez threatened from the outset at the Arena Fonte Nova. Suarez released Forlan with a 40m pass in the fifth minute but the former Manchester United striker's cross was just out of Cavani's reach.
Forlan then tested Buffon's reflexes with a powerful free-kick under the Italy wall.
Italy began to control possession and Antonio Candreva forced a fine save from Fernando Muslera after Mattia de Sciglio's slick pass.
The Azzurri broke the deadlock in the 24th minute when Diamanti's free-kick from the right cannoned off the far post before being bundled in by Astori. It marked the first time that goal-line technology has been used to adjudicate a goal in an international match.
Despite the strike, Uruguay continued to trouble Italy on the counter attack.
Suarez forced another Buffon save after Forlan's pass before Cavani had a goal disallowed for offside having headed in a Forlan free-kick.
Then it was Italy's turn to be denied as Stephan El Shaarawy twice went close to scoring a second. First his long-range effort was palmed away by Muslera and then Diego Godin cleared his goal-bound shot off the line.
Uruguay pressured Italy's defence early in the second half and were rewarded when Cavani ran onto Gargano's pass and slotted past Buffon.
Buffon then negated Forlan with a stunning double save. The Juventus veteran parried away the striker's powerful right-footed shot before blocking the 34-year-old's rebounded effort with his legs.
Alessandro Diamanti gave Italy the lead minutes later when he curled a dipping free kick into the top corner.
Not to be outdone, Cavani stepped up to thump a 25m free kick past Buffon, who could only manage to rasp the ball with his finger tips.
Uruguay looked most likely to score as Italy showed signs of fatigue in extra time.
Suarez had a penalty claim waved away and then narrowly shot over the crossbar with a fizzing 25m attempt.

HANKINSON, N.D. (Jul. 27)
Father Charles E. Coughlin's reference to the Rothschilds alone among the bankers in an address to 15,000 Dakota and Minnesota farmers recalled his previous practice of concentrating on Jewish names in denunciation of bankers.
The head of the Union for Social Justice, now supporting the candidacy of William Lemke for president, charged last night that under the Roosevelt administration the right of Congress to coin money was being used "for the Rothschilds of Wall Street."
It was the second time in recent weeks that he mentioned only the Rothschilds in discussing the bankers. Last year, he was condemned for devoting his attention largely to Jewish financiers in an address during which he assailed "international" bankers.
In the past, Father Coughlin has denied accusations that in singling out Jewish bankers he was indulging in a subtle form of anti-Semitism.

A couple of decades ago, a peace group held a contest. They called for lists of 25 people who made significant contributions to society and about whom you would teach to very young children.
Alas, most of the lists were made up of dead white American men, mostly presidents and soldiers. There's nothing wrong with this class except that it leaves out women, people of color, workers and the living.
It's hard to write a list that models inclusivity for young children. I've made several over the years. Try it. I look forward to reading your submissions. The prize is the accolades of other readers.
I was reminded of the list because I considered writing about some unsung heroes of July Fourth. For example: the Mennonite men who served hard prison time during World War I; Ammon Hennesy, the Catholic Worker who specialized in nonviolent direct action; the union activist Mother Jones.
We all have heroes who are famous like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Dorothy Day. And we have significant role models like our parents. The nuns taught me about saints when I was small and I still revere the Theresas, Bernadette, Stephen, Thomas -- and Mary and Ann, of course.
But I was in my 30s when I learned who Emma Goldman was. We deported her back to Russia, and I don't know if I'd tell young children her life. But she sure should be an Independence Day icon.
Celebrate the Declaration of Independence this month by honoring your icons of freedom.

PERRYOPOLIS – No one said breaking a 37-year playoff drought would be easy.
Avella had that opportunity Friday night when it traveled to Perryopolis to take on Frazier. A win would have assured no worse than a fourth-place finish in the Tri-County South Conference and the first postseason appearance since 1976.
Frazier had other ideas, such as enhancing its playoff situation.
The Commodores used a dominating performance by their offensive line, hard running by Nick Smalich and some crucial second half throws by quarterback Charles Manack to take a 33-9 victory.
The win moved Frazier into second place in the conference with a 5-1 record. Avella fell into a tie for third place with Carmichaels, both teams owning a 4-1 conference record. The top four teams in the conference make the playoffs. Avella has three conference games remaining: Carmichaels, Beth-Center and Bentworth.
"We knew they had a very good line," said Avella head coach Ryan Cecchini. "We knew we had to stop their running game first. But when they got their running game going, that made their passing game even more successful."
From the first drive of the game, the Commodores exerted their will at the line of scrimmage. They pushed the Eagle defenders back while piecing together a 10-play, 68-yard drive that culminated with a five-yard touchdown pass by Manack to Hunter Patterson for a 6-0 lead.
"That gave us the momentum we needed," said Frazier head coach Mike Steeber. "Avella had a lot of confidence coming into this game. We have to work at putting away a team as good as they are."
That first drive was an indicator of things to come. Frazier used its running game to pile up most of its 200 first-half yards, and used a swarming defensive front to hold Avella to just 50 first-half yards.
The Eagles had one first down in the first half and did not complete a pass until 6:45 remained in the third quarter. Smalich had 90 yards at halftime and finished with 85 on 17 carries.
"Our line has been our success the past two games," said Steeber. "They led us to victory over the last two teams we played, Jeff-Morgan and Avella."
Frazier built a 20-0 lead at halftime when Tim Carson caught a 26-yard touchdown pass from Manack two minutes into the second quarter and Smalich burst off left tackle for a 17-yard run.
Still, that wouldn't be enough to quell Avella, which found ways to score that didn't involve the offense.
After a Shawn Carl punt was downed at the Frazier one-yard line, Avella's defense stiffened and forced a punt on fourth-and-10. The snap went over the head of Frazier punter Caleb Cox and out of the back of the end zone for a safety.
The Commodores chose to kick off and Nick Kusich returned it 67 yards for a touchdown: Suddenly, Avella had cut the lead to, 20-9.
"We knew it would take four quarters," said Steeber. "We didn't feel safe … until our last score. They can make things happen, and you saw it with the safety and touchdown."
It's difficult to win games that way, and Frazier salted away this victory by scoring twice in the fourth quarter.
Manack, who completed 9 of 13 passes for 139 yards, found Nate Zurich free over the middle of the field for a 48-yard touchdown the made it 26-9 with 5:56 to go, and Alvin Ross squirted through a hole on the left side and into the end zone from 37 yards out with 1:42 left.
Avella's offense never clicked. Quarterback Santino Paris completed only 4 of 17 passes for 44 yards and had an interception. The running game produced 101 yards.
"We didn't expect our passing game to struggle like that," Cecchini said. "We have got to go back and figure out why a passing game as good as ours can't get it going."
Finding those answers will determine if that playoff drought continues for another year.

Monday's meeting of EU leaders is meant to focus on growth and jobs, which makes it all the more ironic that it will likely be heavily disrupted by a general strike called by Belgian unions on the same day.
The timing of the strike is a coincidence, unions claim: this is a Belgian rather than a European strike. It was called for in response to clumsy pensions reforms by the new government, led by the Socialist Elio Di Rupo, rather than as a protest against the EU's austerity measures (though the unions don't like those much either.)
The impact of the strike is unclear. One high-ranking official in the secretariat of the Council, which organises the event, told Brussels Blog yesterday that there had been serious talk of moving the entire meeting to Luxembourg, where some EU ministerial-level meetings are regularly held.
But assurances from the Belgian government that the show could go on convinced Herman Van Rompuy, who chairs the summits, to push ahead. As a Belgian who championed (and partly enacted as premier) the reforms that are being disputed, he was perhaps unlikely to yield to the street.
"Inside the building, it will be business as usual," the source said. The subtext is that outside the Justus Lipsius venue it will be impossible to get to Brussels, find a taxi or even a sandwich. Read more

Level 2
Author: Lenore Appelhans
Publisher: Simon & Schuester Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: January 15, 2013
Pages: 288
Series: The Memory Chronicles, book one
Source: Audiobook for review from Listening Library, Purchased finished copy of the book
Read By: Jenna Lamia
Audiobook Publisher: Listening Library
Length: 8 hours, 19 minutes
About the Book: In this gripping exploration of a futuristic afterlife, a teen discovers that death is just the beginning.
Since her untimely death the day before her eighteenth birthday, Felicia Ward has been trapped in Level 2, a stark white afterlife located between our world and the next. Along with her fellow drones, Felicia passes the endless hours reliving memories of her time on Earth and mourning what she's lost—family, friends, and Neil, the boy she loved.
Then a girl in a neighboring chamber is found dead, and nobody but Felicia recalls that she existed in the first place. When Julian—a dangerously charming guy Felicia knew in life—comes to offer Felicia a way out, Felicia learns the truth: If she joins the rebellion to overthrow the Morati, the angel guardians of Level 2, she can be with Neil again.
Suspended between Heaven and Earth, Felicia finds herself at the center of an age-old struggle between good and evil. As memories from her life come back to haunt her, and as the Morati hunt her down, Felicia will discover it's not just her own redemption at stake… but the salvation of all mankind.
My Thoughts: I have been looking forward to this book for some time. Add to that all the great things my friends have been saying about it and you have some pretty high expectations! As is usually the case when this happens, I was a bit afraid to start the book. I so did not want to be disappointed! I should learn to trust the recommendations of my friends. Level 2 was everything I hoped it'd be and more.
I started off listening to the audiobook read by Jenna Lamia. I want to be very clear. The audiobook is really well done. The superb writing style of Level 2 readily lends itself to being read aloud. Jenna Lamia was a wonderful choice as narrator. I loved everything about it. I listened to five of the seven discs. The only reason I stopped was because I needed to know what happened right now! I only listen to my audiobooks while I'm driving so it would have taken at least two more days to get to the end and that was just not acceptable to me! Instead, I went to my local bookstore praying they'd have the book on the shelf a couple days early. Thankfully they did and I tore through the last 70 or so pages.
Oh. My. Stars. I just… This book… AHHHHHH! The pacing, the writing style, the characters, the world, the romance… I loved it all! Felicia was such a compelling character. I was so greedy when it came to her life. I wanted to know more and more and more… especially about the memories that we only get glimpses of! We learn so much about her as the story goes on through her thoughts as well as her memories. However, there are so many secrets she keeps, moments in her past she doesn't want to relive. I loved the way they all came together as the reader and Felicia gained a greater understanding of the situation Felicia was in.
The world of Level 2 itself was such an interesting concept to me. I've only read a few books set in the afterlife and this is by far one of my favorites (right up there with Gabrielle Zevin's Elsewhere.) I was hooked by the idea of memory chambers. Once Appelhans added the Morati, the rebellion, and Julian I knew I wouldn't be able to get Level 2 out of my head any time soon. I just couldn't get enough. And though the story has an ending that ties up the major loose ends there is so much more I want to know. Book two now please?
A thoroughly captivating and thrilling read. Great for fans of complex stories that keep you questioning. Level 2 is not to be missed!

Cake Pops
Feb 12
Actual Cake Pops were the second phase of my Cake Ball/Cake Pop experiments – while I still have a little work to do in the aesthetics department, I've got the taste part down! Decorations of any kind were an afterthought, so I just added some sprinkles for a little Valentine's Day festivity. I promise I will get better at this, but you should still give these a try in the interim – I finally get what the Cake Pop craze is about…they are mighty tasty!
- Bake the cake as directed on the box, using a 9-by-13 inch cake pan. Let the cake cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl. The easiest way to do this is with your hands; simply cut the cake into four even sections then remove one section, break it in half and rub the two pieces together over the mixing bowl. Be sure to crumble any large pieces that break off. You can use a fork or even a whisk to break up the larger pieces, just be sure that the cake crumbles are a fine in texture when complete. Lumps are bad for cake pops.
- Add 3/4 of the container of frosting to the crumbled cake – try to not add more or less, as more makes them too moist and less makes it hard to keep the balls intact. Keep mixing until the frosting is fully adsorbed into the cake and is no longer visible.
- Your cake mix should now be moist enough to roll into 1.5 inch balls and still hold the shape; after rolling each ball by hand, place them on a wax paper-covered baking sheet.
- Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and chill for several hours in the refrigerator, OR place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. The balls should be firm, but not frozen. If using the freezer method (which I like because it is faster), move the baking sheets over to the refrigerator after the allotted time in the freezer – obviously keeping them at room temperature for very long will negate what you just did with the freezer.
- Place the candy coating (aka candy melts) in a deep, microwave-safe plastic bowl. These bowls make it easier for dipping and they are cooler to the touch after having been microwaved. I typically only melt one bag (12 oz.) at a time – it understandably begins to harden after a period of time so you don't want to make too much.
- Melt the candy coating according to the instructions on the package – i.e. microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring well in between. Keep doing this until you have a lump-free liquid coating – don't overheat the coating, as it will begin to thicken and become unusable.
- Tip: Sometimes your candy coating will be too thick, making it harder to dip your cake balls – darker-colored coating sometimes have this problem. An easy way to thin the coating is to add a teaspoon of shortening or vegetable oil to the candy coating; keep stirring until fully melted. Add more as needed until the coating is fluid enough to work with easily. Note – I have not actually had to do this yet, so I'm not sure how often thinning is required (I'm guessing not very).
- Now we're ready to coat some cake pops! Take only a few cake balls out of the fridge at a time to work with. One at a time, dip about ½ inch of the lollipop stick tip into the candy coating, and then insert the stick right through the middle of the cake ball, pushing it no more than halfway through.
- Dip the entire cake ball by the stick into the candy coating until completely covered, and remove in one motion. Do not double dip – this makes the cake ball too heavy and it will more than likely fall off the stick.
- When you remove the cake pop from the candy coating, gently rotate the cake pop, lightly tap the stick, and let all of the extra coating drip off. The rotating is important so one side does not end up heavier than another. This process takes awhile, so be patient.
- Once drip-free, stick the cake pop into the Styrofoam block to let the candy coating harden.
- If adding sprinkles or other general decorations, add to the top of the cake pop before the coating sets.
- Repeat with the remaining cake pops and let dry completely.
- Cake Pops can be stored in an airtight container or in the refrigerator for several days. You can also cover them in small treat bags, tied with a ribbon.
- Tip: If you don't need or want to make 48 cake balls, just divide the sheet cake in quarters and use the appropriately reduced amount of frosting and candy coating. Each quarter of the cake makes about 12 cake balls. You can freeze the remaining cake for later use.

I've only made cake balls and cake pops a couple of times now, but I owe every iota of knowledge I have to Bakerella.com, or more specifically her book, "Cake Pops: Tips, Tricks, and Recipes for More Than 40 Irresistible Mini Treats". She has a ton of amazing ideas and I definitely recommend checking it out if this recipe caught your eye.

Are your cycles regular?
3 houses - 2 blocks in the old neighborhood = 1 eclectic/traditional tribe!
Why don't pregnancy tests work for you? Do you not produce hcg? If you don't, does that concern your MW or OB? I've never heard of anyone not producing hcg! Good luck, mama!
The only option I would know of would be an internal exam after 8 wks.
they are placed there for the amusement of those who like to point them out.
I've heard of people getting negatives until quite late in the pregnancy (as in, 8-10 weeks pregnant instead of the usual 4-6) but not getting negatives with the blood test. Weird!
Grace - wife to Jeff and mama to Nigella (11/08) and Orrin (01/10)- expecting a new addition (05/12)! Life is a whirlwind, but I'm learning to enjoy the ride!
Out of curiosity, how many children do you have? How did you find out you were indeed pregnant before? I've heard of people getting false negatives with pee tests, but never with a blood test. Do you tend to have difficult pregnancies?
Now where you would find someone who could accurately do this might be a problem.
So I know its possible but to not produce HCG at all seems odd. My 2nd oddly enough I got + tests at 8 DPO.
I'd try some POAS and see if maybe the last prengnacy was just different. But ultrasound/ pelvic exam can all determine pregnancy. Possibly labwork to measure your hormone levels.
Good luck...
I've know that Ayurvedic practitioners are able to feel the baby's heartbeat in the mothers pulse. I don't remember when the embryo's heart forms exactly, but I would think a good one would be able to feel the heartbeat very soon after that. FWIW, I did have someone do this for me, I think I was around 5ish weeks. It wasn't as a pregnancy test though cuz I already knew.
Now where you would find someone who could accurately do this might be a problem.

I love someone with ataxia telangiectasia http://www.atcp.org
Thank you for the suggestions!
Even if your blessed to not have bad symptoms, you will notice your boobs changing, a bit of extra fatigue or nausea, extra cervical mucus, whatever other symptoms you've noticed in the early phases of your other pregnancies. I don't think that if you were specifically watching out for it (even if you're not charting) you could go past 6-8 wks without noticing any changes, kwim? Which is about the same time you'd be looking at for a doppler/ultrasound/other methods that have been mentioned.
how is that possible? I googled it and I couldn't come up with any information.
How it's possible, well, we all know that what we feel and call pulse, is the rush of blood through our veins. The work of the heart creates the rhythm we call pulse. So if 2 hearts are beating in one body then it makes sense even though the second embryonic heart would have a tiny amount that it's pumping compared to the mothers heart. It is still a pulse and the practitioners are trained to feel for very subtle differences as it is.
Try googling "pulse diagnosis" for more info. It might not relate to early pregnancy specifically but an experienced practitioner would be the best source for that.
My advice may not be appropriate for you. That's ok. You are just fine how you are and I am the right kind of me.
as an anecdotal example, a couple years ago there was a mama on MDC who did not get a + urine or blood pg test, but was in fact pregnant, went to term and gave birth.
- dark purple/blue edge to your labia
- soft cervix, since you've had kids, possibly a "ruffled" feeling around the edges
- one side of your uterus may feel bigger than the other side
- your uterus will feel softer, yet at the same time have a more defined shape
dandy lion leaves, i have the same problem. take fresh leaves let them sit 4 an hour in a bowl then well pee on them wait 10/30 mins if they start to turn red with spots then grads.
I have never had a pregnancey test be positive on me either..... I was only pregnant once but I took 3 tests I finally went to the doc @ 8 weeks and took a blood test. And it was positive : )
I am trying to get pregnant and I very much feel like I am. Sore breasts and swollen. It's been 5 weeks since my last period, however I usually have a 5 week cycle. I'm looking for advice. Am I jumping the gun by taking 3 at home tests. Is it to early to go to the doc and take blood test?
Do you mean the inner labia with the color change? My last cycle was March 12, I believe I conceived the weekend of March 24 which would put me approx. 5 weeks now. I have had neg urine and blood tests with my ob. I have all the symptoms except nausea..sore breasts/nipples, fatigue, missed period, and my cervix is like a faucet, and i feel like someone's fist is constantly pressing on my bladder with slight pressure and need for frequent urination. I don't have children yet...what does a "first time" cervix feel like? thanks to anyone who can respond!
A friend of mine was told she was pregnant by her dentist because she had a type of dental issue specific to pregnancy, think it was a type of gingivitis? But of course that doesn't help you.
Might be too woo-woo for you, but some people use a wedding ring on a string as a pendulum (or any other pendulum) to get an answer.

The FAA issued a new Airworthiness Directive today that warns of a failure by the flight guidance control system (FGCS) in certain Embraer E170s and E190s to display some "caution" messages when warranted. Embraer has found that that certain Honeywell Primus Epic software loads–namely, versions 17.3, 17.4, 17.5, 17.6 and 17.7 installed in the E170 and versions 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 installed in the E190–triggered the failures. If the failure of one FGCS channel during a given flight goes undetected and another failure occurs on the second FGCS channel, the system's autopilot could issue a hardover command, causing a sudden roll, pitch or yaw movement and reduced controllability of the airplane, according to the AD.
The AD takes effect on October 2. It requires that operators perform a functional check of the FGCS channels engagement within 300 flight hours of that date and then at least every 600 flight hours thereafter until they install Primus Epic software version 19.3 or higher. The AD requires operators to install the new software within 10 months of the effective date.

Experienced Dane Viggo Jensen has been named as the new coach of the Estonian national team as they seek their first UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifying point.
Long-term plan
The 59-year-old takes up the reins three weeks after the resignation of Dutch coach Jelle Goes and has signed a six-month contract. However, Estonian Football Association (EJL) president Aivar Pohlak said: "Although we signed a six-month deal, we are looking forward to a much longer co-operation."
Denmark role
Jensen has worked with a number of clubs in Denmark and Sweden, and was one of Richard Møller-Nielsen's assistants during Denmark's EURO '92 success. He joins the EJL after stepping down as head of scouting and development at Danish side Esbjerg fB having been dismissed from his last coaching job at Silkeborg IF in October.
'All about results'
"It is an interesting challenge," said Jensen. "However, there's only a month until the next UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifier and in the end it is all about results. I have to get to know the players quickly and talk to them privately, as we will only be together for a couple of days before the game against Andorra." Estonia have yet to score a goal or pick up a point in Group E, having lost all seven of their qualifiers to date.
