MCM Appoints Adrian J. Margelist as Chief Creative Officer
We are pleased to welcome Swiss designer Adrian J. Margelist to the MCM family as Chief Creative Officer. For those of you who have been following MCM for a while, you will know Adrian J. Margelist as our former Global Artistic Director. He occupied the position between 2008 and 2010 and is responsible for the ever lovely
Munich Nostalgic collection
amongst many others...
This time, he will be looking after MCM's creative direction, overviewing the collections and of course he will be making sure our brand gets more and more recognition the world over. In his own words:
"I'm truly excited to embark on this new chapter with MCM.
I had a fantastic journey in 2008 and am enthused for this stage in reaching and achieving greater frontiers.
Given the brand's growing notoriety in Asia, there is an enormous potential in reaching today's fans and tomorrow's loyalists.
The consumers are growing and it's important that we grow with them"
Margelist started his career in London, designing accessories for Vivienne Westwood, he then went back to Switzerland and Italy to study some more. With his MA behind him, he started to work with textiles at Fabric Frontline where he designed precious materials to be used in couture shows by labels such as Chanel or Givenchy.
Here is what our Chief Visionary Officer has to say about him:
His wealth of knowledge, insight & experience within the fashion industry will add significant value and expertise to the team. His new appointment as the Chief Creative Officer is an important step for MCM, as the brand continues its global expansion. We are looking forward to designing the future together."
For all of us, MCM fans, this is great news and I for one am looking very much forward to seeing all the new designs to come out of this renewed collaboration.

My favorite term for myself.
My favorite term for the past three months of my life.
Hi! I'm the only creative peep here in the office right now since all of my co-workers/friends left me to go to the greener part of the pasture. This is a total burnout. Yes, it serves as a good training ground but it's cold in here. Especially when you're alone. Yes, I'll grow without me noticing it, but what I've noticed is that I grew weary.
For the first three months I joined the work force, I've grown weary already. Isn't it a wonder? Yes, I can juggle two departments at the same time (yup I still can't believe I'm able to juggle marketing and creative til now) but it doesn't mean that I shall do it alone. It's sad. I've grown clingy to my seniors here. They treat me as a little sister and a daughter.
Ugh! Go get another fun job, Pam.

Since cognitive aging and risk for dementia are a growing public health concern, introduces and reviews the psychometric properties of valid and reliable measures for assessing key domains of cognitive function, including episodic memory, visuospatial memory, attention, executive function and language used in aging population and patient studies. Reviews implementation, distribution of scores, and scoring criteria used to identify clinical impairments, as well as sociodemographic and health factors associated with test performance. Use of reliable and valid cognitive measures within distinct demographic subgroups will help us to: 1) more accurately describe the prevalence and incidence of cognitive impairments among older adults; 2) identify individuals most at risk for dementias, such as Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia; and 3) develop interventions that can promote cognitive performance in adulthood.
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
Identify and select valid and reliable measures assessing domains of cognitive function, including episodic memory, visuospatial memory, attention, executive function and language
Explain how these measures have been developed and implemented in observational and patient studies
Recognize sociodemographic factors and contexts that affect performance
Apply scoring criteria to interpret normal vs. impaired levels of cognitive function

From the Equine Journal - May 2009
Cleveland Bays have long been favored mounts in the hunt field, first in their native United Kingdom, and later in North America. Paradoxically, it took until the 2008-2009 season for these horses to be able to earn "official" recognition as Field Huntersin a new program offered by the Cleveland Bay Horse Society of North America (CBHSNA).
Clevelands really do seem to have a hunting gene, appearing to learn the game of Run! Turn! Whoa! Wait! Run! Stand! -- adapting to the general chaos fairly quickly. Many seasoned hunters alert their riders to the presence of hounds or of game with an attentive focus of their ears, or an intense stare. They learn quickly to tolerate hounds between their legs, and the general bustle of horses, riders cracking whips, and frequent reversals of the field. Sometimes youngsters are far easier to manage in the hunt field than in the ring. They seem to intuitively understand the logic of hunting, but don't quite get the idea of moving forward energetically and on the bit while traversing multiple and identical circles.
In order to qualify for the CBHSNA recognition, the horse must be a registered , and the person seeking the certification must be a society member. Horses must hunt for a minimum of six outings and their performance certified by the presiding Master. Specific information is available on the CBHSNA website.
The first official CBHSNA certified field hunter is Native Regent, a 5-year-old partbred Cleveland gelding by Forbes Native Statesman, out of a thoroughbred mare. Reggie, as he is affectionately known, was bred by Statesman's Ridge Farm, introduced to hunting by the author, and is now owned by Wicomico Hunt's Joint Master of Foxhounds Jim Griffin. Reggie exemplifies the very traits that make Cleveland Bays exceptional mounts for chasing foxes.
Jim purchased Reggie at the beginning of the 2008-09 hunting season. He was only four, with a limited number of cubhunting outings under his belt, but demonstrated his affinity for hunting from the very beginning. Reflected Griffin:
Before I bought Native Regent (Reggie) I had only hunted thoroughbreds. For the most part they were reliable but tended toward being hot and not always a pleasure to hunt. With Reggie, every day, from the first hunt, one week after getting him, he has had a remarkable calmness and presence, beyond his years. He is gentle, intelligent, calm and very athletic, always keeping his feet under him and jumping cleanly even in trappy conditions. I could not ask for better in a field hunter.
Reggie and Jim have hunted together for two full seasons - more than 25 times this year alone. As Joint Master of the Wicomico Hunt, located on Maryland's Eastern Shore, Griffin shares responsibility for the management of the hunting side of the club. He also relies on his horse as together they lead the field of riders as they follow the huntsman and the hounds, sometimes for more than 3 hours at a time.
Many riders value the Cleveland Bay for its tractable and quiet nature. Partbreds with significant fractions of Thoroughbred blood excel in roles where speed, stamina, soundness and sensibility are required. Hunt Masters in Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts, among other states, ride Cleveland crosses. Pennsylvania's Idle Hour Stud has probably produced more Clevelands for Master's mounts than any other single breeder in North America. Idle Hour owner Marilyn Webster can often be seen in the ranks of the New Market - Middletown Valley Hounds, acquainting her young horses to the thrill of the hunt field.
CBHSNA Board of Directors Member Gabrielle Gordon was the first to complete the certification with a purebred. Her 6-year-old mare, Foxhollow (USA) Seashell, who is by Fryup Marvel. Gordon has hunted with the Hickory Creek Hunt in Boyd, Texas for about 17 years and currently serves as Honorary Secretary. Hickory Creek chases coyotes in addition to foxes. Gordon relates, "I love hunting purebreds. They are sensible and don't seem to get rattled easily. They are normally great around cattle and hounds running around. They seem to enjoy their jobs."
The last phrase really sums it up - Cleveland Bays really enjoy their hunting jobs. Almost as if they are born with that innate ability, almost as if they come equipped with a specific hunting gene... See a big bay horse in the hunt field, usually distinctive with its large ears and query its owner - more often than you would expect, you may have found a Cleveland Bay.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Actor Matthew McConaughey credits his growing family for the success that 2012 brought him.
RELATED: Matthew McConaughey welcomes a baby
"One, they ground you. Two, when you have that kind of structure at home and you feel stable at home it makes it much easier to fly higher and wider when you're outside of home," McConaughey said Monday at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards.
The 43-year-old received the Best Supporting Actor honor for "Magic Mike" and "Bernie." He garnered critical success in 2012 for "Mud" and "The Paperboy," both shown in competition at the Cannes Film Festival.
"Got a great family that loves what I do, they're happy for papa when papa is happy. Papa is happy when he's working, and they like it when papa goes to work," he said of his busy year.
"Things that I've been working on came to fruition personally, workwise, healthwise. And we just decided to embrace it all -- myself, my family -- decided to embrace it all," he said. "Even when it was work that I was doing that my family wasn't necessarily doing, my family was pushing me to go: 'Go get it on. Do it. We're right behind you. We got it.'"
RELATED: Celebrity dad-kid lookalikes
McConaughey married long-time girlfriend Camila Alves in June. He announced last month on his Whosay page that Alves had given birth to their third child, Livingston, on Dec. 28.
"Livingston had a lot to say this morning," he joked. "He had a mouthful of milk. That's what he had."
McConaughey said his older children, 4-year-old son, Levi, and 3-year-old daughter, Vida, were excited about the NYFCC award, but even more excited about his return home in Texas.
"They're like, 'Get the trophy and come back home,'" he said. "I said, 'I'm coming back home.'"

Indeed, the web GUI on my switches sucks in comparison to what I can do via the CLI. Same issue with the Linux servers. Windows is the only situation where it's the other way round really.
I don't really use Office these days, so it doesn't affect me. However I can't really complain about Microsoft trying to make their GUI work better. It's something that needs to be invested in and constantly improved.
However, I don't think the CLI is going away any time soon. Infact I think it'll be always there in the background for the power user to explore and exploit. For example, Windows just got a massive upgrade in the CLI department with the release of PowerShell, didn't it?

I recommend taking the train to Amsterdam Central Station. It should take you either 14 minutes or 24 minutes depending on which train comes first.
From Central Station(10-15 min walk)
When you come out of Central Station walk straight towards the Tourist Information Office, passing the bus and tram lines. Make a left at the Tourist Information Office and cross the bridge. You will see Cafe Batavia 1920 and St Nicolas Church across the street. Go left in front of the Cafe Batavia (you are on Prins Hendrikkade), pass Coffeeshop Central, the souvenir shop, The Mexican Restaurant. You will see a canal on your right hand side and two small streets going right, in a V shape with Hotel Koffiehuis Voyagers in the middle. Take the second street near this hotel, you are now on Geldersekade. Keep walking straight (with the canal on your left) until you reach number 106.

UPDATE: The story was updated on July 2 to clarify how the Defense Logistics Agency counted the items that the Issaquah Police Department acquired over the years.
Small police departments across America are collecting battlefield-grade arsenals thanks to a program that allows them to get their hands on military surplus equipment – amphibious tanks, night-vision goggles, and even barber chairs or underwear – at virtually no cost, except for shipment and maintenance.
Over the last five years, the top 10 beneficiaries of this "Department of Defense Excess Property Program" included small agencies such as the Fairmount Police Department. It serves 7,000 people in northern Georgia and received 17,145 items from the military. The cops in Issaquah, Washington, a town of 30,000 people, acquired more than 37,000 items (Note: Any pound of expended brass cartridges were counted as one single item by the Defense Logistics Agency, the federal agency that manages the program.)
In 2011 alone, more than 700,000 items were transferred to police departments for a total value of $500 million. This year, as of May 15, police departments already acquired almost $400 million worth of stuff. Last year's record would have certainly been shattered if the Arizona Republic hadn't revealed in early May that a local police department used the program to stockpile equipment – and then sold the gear to others, something that is strictly forbidden. Three weeks after the revelation, the Pentagon decided to partly suspend distribution of surplus material until all agencies could put together an up-to-date inventory of all the stuff they got through the years. A second effort, which gives federal grants to police departments to purchase equipment, is still ongoing, however. According to the Center for Investigative Reporting, since 9/11, the grants have totaled $34 billion.
Which means billions of dollars' worth of military gear are in the hands of small-town cops who neither need the equipment nor are properly trained to use it, critics charge. At best, it's a waste of resources (since the gear still has to be maintained). At worst, it could cost lives.
The Nebraska State Patrol has three amphibious eight-wheeled tanks. Acquired almost three years ago, their highest achievement has been helping with a flood last year and with a shooting a couple of weeks ago. Overall, it has been deployed five times. At least, officers love driving them. "They're fun," said trooper Art Frerichs to the Lincoln Journal Star in 2010. And the ride, according to Patrol Sgt. Loveless, "is very smooth."

"What Scarlett gave the movie is immense," he adds. "It's not only the texture of her voice, but the way she played it."
He describes OS Samantha as super intelligent, without any fear or any insecurity and capable of learning through experience, but like a child in other ways. And as her relationship with Theo hit some tough patches, as all relationships do, she experiences pain.

"I think children feel heartbreak just as deeply as we feel heartbreak, and so does Samantha," he says.
Jonze says he conceived the film about a decade ago, long before Apple came out with Siri, its voice-activated personal assistant. Of course, the movie begs the question: Is what Theo has with Samantha real? At one point in "Her," the British philosopher Alan Watts (voiced by Brian Cox), who died in 1973, drops in as a friend of Samantha. (His consciousness has been uploaded.)
The filmmaker says he discovered Watts five or six years ago and liked what he wrote.
"I think for this movie specifically, one of the things he talked about is change and the difficulty for us to accept that everything is in the constancy of change and everything will end," Jonze says. "It's one of the themes in the movie that Samantha is going through."
While "Her" is warm, sweet and amusing — a relationship movie everyone can relate to no matter who or what their romantic preference — it is also filled with high concepts. But the filmmaker — who voices a bratty video-game character in "Her" and has a small role in the upcoming "The Wolf of Wall Street" — seems somewhat unwilling to take himself too seriously.
So while bantering about reality, technology and relationships, Jonze shies away from making too much about what he's done. "I'm hesitant to make grand statements because I feel like that it's not exactly what I'm writing about."

text: I pair Hope and Lightning together because I feel that oposites attract. Lightning is a strong and independent woman, I know that. And Hope was innocent, yet cheerful and carefree. If both were to be in a relationship, I believe Hope would bring out the lighter side of Lightning and she's bring out the independent side of him. They both complete each other in ways and I wish to see a happy reunion and a relationship (even if it's hinted) between the two.

Want an Abortion? Meet Your Baby First
A controversial new law requires women to meet their unborn child before having an abortion.
What if you were told that before you could have an abortion, you had to gaze at your unborn through an ultrasound, and hear your doctor describe your baby -- down to the details of its hands and feet?
If you live in Oklahoma, that might become your reality.
Oklahoma lawmakers hope that getting intimate with an unborn child will touch women - even victims of incest and rape - and persuade her to change her mind and keep the baby.
But the Center for Reproductive Rights has filed a suit against the state, saying the new law endangers health, invades privacy and attacks women's dignity.
The law, which is set to go into effect November 1, would make Oklahoma the fourth state in the nation to require that ultrasounds be performed and viewed by the woman before an abortion is granted.
Other states that uphold this law are Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.
"I introduced the bill because I wanted to encourage life in society. In Oklahoma, society is on the side of life," said Republican state Sen. Todd Lamb.
Lamb says the lawsuit will stand a constitutional test, and because women are allowed to avert their eyes during the ultrasound, it doesn't qualify as "force."
One provision of the law prohibits women from collecting damages based on claims that a baby born with defects would have been better off aborted.
And abortion rights activists fear the provision could allow doctors to withhold information about abnormalities in the fetus that could lead to complications after birth.
Tell us - does this law violate your basic rights as a woman?
IT VIOLATES EVERY BASIC RIGHT I HAVE. More reason to stay the hell away from Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.
But what if the pregnancy is not viable? What if having an abortion could harm the mother's life, because, for example, it's an ectopic pregnancy? And what if the ultrasound shows the pregnancy is likely to end in a miscarriage - why would a woman want to undergo the pain of an abortion? An ultrasound isn't such a bad thing. The woman has the option of not looking at the screen. I think, medically, it's a good idea.
If a woman was raped wouldn't looking at the images of the baby haunt her even more. I do not understand how Sarah Palin thinks a woman should still give birth to a child from incest or rape. From incest, the baby could be very deformed. From both of these terrible acts, the mother could be suicidal, which could danger both the mother and the unborn child.
I think it will stop young girls from using abortions as birth control (I've known some that do that and it disgusts me…). Some young irresponsible girls don't think about what they're doing (or don't care) and end up having multiple abortions. This law is good for that type of thing.. they'll look at their own baby and may have a change of heart..

Cindy, you're not making sense—if it's an ectopic pregnancy, it has to come out one way or another because ectopic pregnancies endanger the mother's life. That would be the MAIN problem…not the abortion as you suggest.
Yeah for Oklahoma!
What about a woman's right to birth control? All women here have it, foxymama. If everyone exercised it accordingly, we wouldn't be talking about how a law seeking to protect an innocent human life is a violation of your rights.
I think this is a great idea. Every single inch of consideration should be taken before an abortion is performed. Human life is precious. I understand that it is the woman's body and she should ultimately have the right to choose what's going to happen to her; but who is fighting for the baby. Why doesn't the baby have a right?
Great idea, I agree with you Erin. Someone needs to stand up for that baby.
I think it is a wonderful idea. Even if after having an ultrasound and hearing that wonderful heartbeat. the woman didn't want to keep the baby herself, maybe she would then consider to give the baby up for adoption rather than to kill a poor innocent child.
I completely agree with Erin on this one. Every single inch of consideration should be taken before a life it taken.
I think it's a great idea. If you have the guts to kill your baby then you should have the guts to look at it and know it's a baby.
And to Marquita, no matter who the father is, it is still a baby. My mother was raped and my older sister is the product of that rape. Do you think we or my mother loved her less because of it? Never! I would have to say that she was my dad's favorite! And in cases of incest or if something is wrong with the baby, that still does not make it right. I found out when 18 weeks pregnant that my daughter had a cyst on her brain and would be born with brain damage. NOT ONE TIME did I think about killing her for it. She deserves a life like everybody else and is the happiest 4 year old you've ever seen. If somebody can't accept a child with disabilities then they are probably too heartless to be a mother anyhow and should not be having sex. It's our body until the time comes that we have another person living inside of us and then our wishes go out the window, our responsibility then is to the child, not our own selfish wants.
I think it makes it much more of a careful decision because it's not just a procedure, but a choice based on all the facts.
I have had an abortion after seeing the ultrasound, and it didn't make me change my mind at all. I knew it was the best choice for me and my family, and I went through with it. NO ONE can tell me what I can and cannot do with my body.
Donna, I did not say that any person needs to or should abort their child, I just think that the person should have that right to decide.
Why would the state want to do that and make a woman change her mind? If she already had her head set on getting an abortion, she probably isn't in the right mind set to have a baby. I mean look at the world now with all these babies dying or being abuse. Wouldn't you rather not have the baby be born, and then have them grow up in an unwanted home. I mean, gesh if they want the abortion then let them, they will have to deal with the consequences themselves. I, for one would not get an abortion, but i would agree on it if you were raped or something bad like that.
gross…probably thought up by dudes and crazy christians
I live in Oklahoma. And I have had an abortion. I have never regretted the decision. It wasn't the right time and now I have 2 wonderful children that wouldn't be here if I had not made that decision. I think the new law is wrong. If they are going to do this then they need to give us free or reduced price birth control. I mean seriously, like we need more babies being born to babies and then getting on welfare. If you look at Oklahoma's numbers, it's astonishing the amount of teenagers having babies.
For all of you that say "it should be the woman's choice, and sheshould have controlover her own body" where was that control during sex? A woman has the choice to take birth control and if he doesn't then she has made the choice to have a baby.
I am proud of Oklahoma, and the other states, I hope this bill/law passes
When did people stop respecting life? Why do some people get put in jail for killing someone and others do not?
What about unwanted sex, Ashley? A woman can not just say, "Oh wait, let me get a condom before you decide to rape me." She did not have a choice then, I think at the least the law can do is give her a choice after.
It's no different then those of us who eat hamburgers but have never actually seen the cow we're about to kill. Maybe if we meet the cow, we might become vegetarians.
The thing is, these women can still have the abortions, it just lets them realize the reality of their actions. I'm all for this idea.
And yes, I AM A PRODUCT OF A RAPE and I'm so glad mom decided against the abortion even though she admits she did come very close to doing it. She doesn't regret having me for a second.

I opened my purse during Mass on Sunday to tithe whatever crumpled bill was in my wallet and noticed a glow emanating from inside.
It wasn't a celestial sign thanking me for chipping in to cover the church's utility bill. It was a glow stick the size of an index finger, with the brand name of a liqueur written on it.
Ah, the glow stick.
About 12 hours earlier, I was sitting in a crowded, dimly lit, two-drink-minimum Chicago club watching drag queens lip sync and shake their business while draped in sequins and sparkly costume jewelry.
It was my first time at the Baton Show Lounge, a popular place for bachelorette parties and birthdays. We were there for a bachelorette party for our friend, Carrie.
The only other time I saw female impersonators was during an amateur style lip syncing show on the North Side of Chicago. But the entertainers at the Baton Show Lounge are professionals, so I didn't know what to expect.
Our group was first in line and first seated. We watched as bachelorette party after bachelorette party filed in, with giggling girls flanking the bride-to-be, identifiable by her costume veil, sash and/or glowing, flashing necklace and tiara.
Some of the fancier drinks were served with a glow stick. My friend Megan bought one and was kind enough to give me her glow stick, which became a photo prop on the ride home, eventually settling into the bottom of my purse.
A montage of video clips introduced us to our lineup of entertainers, who emerged in a group number. The crowd — 99 percent female —turned into a screaming, hootin', hollerin' group.
The show continued, with the performers lip syncing to modern hits and classics. People tipped their favorites. My group pressured me to follow suit.
"I'm waiting for my moment," I said.
And then it happened.
The entertainer appeared in a way-too-big fur coat that hinted there was more to the act. Lip-syncing to Tina Turner's "Simply the Best," she dropped her coat to reveal a White Sox jersey with crystals coating the Sox logo.
Megan and I couldn't grab our money fast enough.
"This is my moment!" I shouted, running to the stage with a dollar bill in my fist.
In church the next morning, I chuckled when I saw the glow stick.
"If they only knew," I thought.

Michael Jackson's celebrity started in childhood, and since, its become increasingly obvious that he still feels as though his superstardom is still rising. After nightmare plastic surgery and the accusations of child molestation and bankruptcy, the pale-faced father of three oddly-named children is now charging $3,500 for a few minutes per fan in Tokyo, Japan.
The market strategy seems simple enough. If people are willing to pay that much, not only to meet a celebrity, but to meet an iconic figure in pop music and possibly mentally ill man, then go for it. The supply should meet the demand.
The event is aptly titled: "Fan appreciation day with Michael Jackson." He was at two events over the last weekend; one at which every fan attendee who paid the hefty $3,500 (approximately 400,000 yen) saw M.J. play a concert, then met and talked with him for up to 60 seconds. One photo could be taken of the fan and M.J., to "preserve the moment."
Aside from Michael Jacksons questionable mental state, I question the mental states of people willing to pay that much to meet a celebrity for 60 seconds, even Michael Jackson. For the average Joe to attend such an event would be a major financial commitment. You could spend that $3,500 on something else, something that might last a long time, especially if youre so excited to meet Michael Jackson that you cloud your memory and will never be able to reflect on that blissful moment ever again except through the photo you had taken. Not to mention, you could get sick (I doubt the ticket is refundable) or if you do make the show, you might be blinking in the picture you take with Michael Jackson.
If meeting celebrity comes with so many risks, why would we do it for anyone? Michael Jackson is the only one charging a fee to meet his fans. Many famous musicians have a fee for playing at a private party. One of my friends told me, although I'm fairly sure she was lying, that Norah Jones was scheduled to play my friends mom's wedding. But aside from my lie-telling friend, it's not out of the ordinary. Everyone has their fee. Even celebrities with no talent at all, like Paris Hilton, have set fees for personal appearances.
You might want to put someone down if theyre crazy enough to pay the money to see a celebrity, like Michael Jackson, but maybe you should think twice. There are many other things that you could spend your money on, but really, if meeting Michael Jackson and taking a picture with him (in which you're blinking and you're visibly sweaty from how nervous you are) makes you happy, follow your dream.
Some of the best things in life, like that feeling of accomplishing the goal of meeting your favorite celebrity, are priceless, but for personal appearances, and for everything else, there's MasterCard.

I'm not usually one to post videos on blogs, but this two part series on the Keith Olbermann show covers the new book by David Kuo, a longtime conservative Christian political operative and deputy director of White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.
Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction appears to be just what its title claims: a thorough expose of the way the Bush administration has strung along Christian leaders over the last 6 years. The general themes of broken promises to conservatives won't come as a surprise, but the specifics coming from an insider are still very disturbing. One minor, but telling quote from the book:
[Christian leaders] were given passes to be in the crowd greeting the president or tickets for a speech he was giving. Little trinkets like cufflinks or pens or pads of paper. Christian leaders could give them to their congregations or donors or friends to show just how influential they were. Making politically active Christian personally happy meant having to worry far less about the political Christian agenda.
But you can watch it all in gory glory for yourself in Part 1:
and Part 2:
Let's see how long it takes the Rove machine to come up with a way to discredit Kuo. Or perhaps they'll line up the Christian leaders to make statements of support. According to this post on The Carpetbagger Report Focus on the Family has already sent a damage control email to their supporters playing the victim card:
Big media will no doubt play this story to the hilt in the next several weeks, because it allows them to take aim at two of their favorite targets: President Bush and socially conservative Christians. Sadly, Kuo's characterization of his former colleagues, bosses and mission — mischaracterizations, really — will be fed to the public as truth.
For once, I agree with Dr. Dobson. Christians are a target. But of whom?
P.S. It will be interesting to watch the reaction in the conservative blogosphere. Follow the explosion of blog posts on this via Technorati.

As the automatically generated comment above suggests, the folks at Christianity Is More have a link to this post and a comment regarding YAR. I must say I was a bit confused by the reference to the New Monasticism. Can anyone clear that up for me?
JDaniel: the New Monasticism is a (inter?)national movement, among and beyond evangelicals, trying to reclaim the monastic vision of a Christian life together. The Simple Way (Philly, PA) and the Rutba House (Durham, NC) have been at the forefront of the movement. Nate is (generously) identifying the re-awakening of the Anabaptist communal impulse among young adults as part of this overall movement. He's referring in particular, I'm assuming, to things like Bike Movement and a group of folks re-connecting with Fellowship of Hope in Elkhart, who themselves spent close to two decades under a common rule. Does that get at your confusion?
Yes; Thanks Brian. I had forgotten about The Simple Way. ~Dan
very interesting
[…] For those of you not familiar with the Simple Way community, it's the mother ship for the New Monasticism movement which we've discussed here a number of times. Their website says: This fire will forever change the fabric of our community. Eight families are currently homeless, and in many cases have lost their vehicles as well as their homes. One of our neighbors, the Mahaias Family, lost their three cars as well as the equipment one family member uses for her massage therapy business. Teenager Brian Mahaias is devastated not because he has lost his belongings, but because he fears that this fire will force him to move away from this neighborhood that is his family as well as his home.

Over at Newsweek's political blog, The Gaggle, this thought is spurring a deal of talk:
Foreign businesses might be the real winners in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission, the landmark case that allows corporations and unions to spend limitless amounts of money on presidential and congressional political campaigns. A majority of large businesses are now owned by foreign entities, and this means international corporations could pour tons of money into the United States political scene, potentially swaying the political climate.
The biggest questions with this ruling is the scope of the term "corporation," says Edward Foley, law professor at the Ohio State University College of Law and director of the election-law program. Does the high court want this decision to apply to foreign corporations as well as domestic ones, he ponders? The truth is, the court didn't make a decision one way or the other.
Meanwhile, USA Today has this:
More than 40 current and former corporate executives on Friday urged Congress to pass taxpayer funding for congressional campaigns — and stop asking busy business leaders for political cash.
The letters sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid were signed by executives with Ben & Jerry's, Playboy Enterprises, Hasbro and others.

What an awful development, to put that sort of political power in the hands of a few board members and their interests. I don't care in what part of the political spectrum your beliefs originate, as an American you should take note of this and be very aware of the implications to our Republic.

Chuck is spot on. The reason libs are upset, besides the fact that they hate American businesses, is that George "The Currency Manipulator and Economy Wrecker and LIb Benefactor" Soros will have some steep comeptition. Anyway, if lib ideas are so wonderful the American people will be unmoved by corporations, foreign or domestic.

Well I'm not a "lib" and I don't "hate American businesses." I do however take great pause at allowing our Republic to be run by a few board members and their interests, George Soros Rupert Murdoch or otherwise. Again it's up to us moderates (approx 47% of voters by the way) to again reign in the loony left and lockstep right who's ideology continually blinds them to the dangers their dogma poses to the rest of us.

I have now come to the opinion that independents are basically morons. Most of them, not all but most, are in the middle just to be there. And since the Republicans 'frame the debate' that means many independents automatically go to the right just because the Republicans are tacking hard right.
Since Democrats have no guts, they won't tack hard left. They certainly won't frame the debate. In fact, most Democrats are more owned by corporations than Republicans.
HOWEVER, Republicans are also insane. As a business owner, I would NEVER pick a Republican over a democrat. Yes, I'll admit froma business stand point Blue Dogs are preferable to progressives, but Republicans only want to lower taxes at the expense of all else.
I don't want to pay 5% taxes and live in Zimbabwe.
Taxes do useful things. Its called a balance but since Democrats can't do ANYTHING and Republicans can only lower taxes or deregulate, that means that the most important business need of all; stability and predicitablity in government is NEVER achievable with Republicans because they don't believe in government.
Only stupid business like BANKS put idiots who want to destroy the institution in charge. What kind of a business would want to do that?
As such, the aristocracy, those born to wealth, will donate to Republicans, but self made billionares, those with an actual business sense will NEVER donate to morons.

The law of unintended consequences strikes again. The right-wing ideologues of the Supreme Court have blindly and stupidly opened the door to foreign control of our elections. Logic and common sense would dictate that the First Amendment was never intended to protect the free speech rights of foreign-owned or multi-national corporations operating in the U.S. or allow them to pour billions into influencing our elections.

"As such, the aristocracy, those born to wealth, will donate to Republicans" If you take a look at the current make-up of congress, more trust fund babies are liberals. Why would someone who actually earned money by working, vote for a Democrat, and have those earnings given to somebody who doesn't like to work?

Mike that's a nice myth you have there considering about 1% of the federal budget is used for welfare programs and not all people on welfare "don't want to work" as you seem to think. The question you need to ask yourself is what does the other 99% pay for and what don't you want to buy? Roads? Defense? Law enforcement? Tax breaks for churches, corporations, oil land leases? Maybe we should close or sell some national parks? Space exploration? Do tell.

Sounds to me like the Tea Baggers have been picking on the wrong people. The conservatives are the enemies to this country
January 24th, 2010
11:14 am
Well, face it…the tea baggers are just a mob being told to hate a specific group. They do not want representation. Campaign finance would be one of the first areas of policy that any non-wealthy group of citizens should want to reform.
Afterall, how many middle classmen are in Congress?
January 25th, 2010
1:18 pm
Yep that should fix everything…I've often thought that the problem with America is that big corporations don't have enough power.
Wait a minute…don't I remember hearing something about "conservatives" opposing activist judges. I guess its OK if you agree with the activism….

We keep trying to frame this debate around right vs. left. Rep vs Dem. As long as you do that the parties own you. This is a debate between freedom vs unity. Neither are bad, but they are counter productive to each other. God forbid we teach actual democratic philosophies anywhere within society, but if we had, we as citizens of a republic would know the debate is between freedom vs unity not right vs. left. But don't trust me, I am just an anonymous forum poster, go study your Plato, Smith, Madison, Jefferson, Henry, and Washington…they will tell you the same thing. the old foggies knew a thing or two about it to.

2 Steps to restore the American Economy: Learn from what has worked in America!
#1: Bring back the reasonable tariffs that protected American jobs since the founding of our country. Before the IRS, most of the Federal Government's income was from tariffs. This would also help our budget deficit as cutting tariffs helped cause our deficit.
#2. Restore the Reagan Tax Cuts. Ronald Reagan actually stopped trickle down because before he cut the top tax rate from 74% to 29%, the wealthy would reinvest their profits in their business rather than pay taxes. They would build new buildings or pay their employees better to improve their business. The wealth trickled down when the wealthy were taxed. We the workers earn that money and have a right to the benefits of our labor.
The Republican Reagan Revolution re-distributed the wealth from the workers of America to the top 1% – what Republicans call 'their base', their Al-Queda, Multinational Corporations with no allegance to this country. The game, our economy, is tilted in their favor. We must re-inact the rules that protected the middle class.

Wait till the Republicans find out that FRENCH-owned corporations get to contribute to US political campaigns!!!

AC Milan VP's racist slur against striker Mario Balotelli caught on video
Milan, Italy (4E Sports) – AC Milan vice president Paolo Berlusconi's racist slur against Mario Balotelli caused an outrage in Italy.
Berlusconi, younger brother of the club president Silvio, was attending a political rally for when he made the comments that were caught on video and shown on the website of Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
He described Balotelli, who is black, as "n——- di famiglia," an Italian slur meaning "the family's little n—–."
The incident transpired after Milan's midfielder Kevin Prince-Boateng was congratulated by Silvio Berlusconi for walking off the pitch after being racially abused in January by Pro Patria fans.
He added that 'Milan will leave the field' when similar incidents happen again.
Balotelli signed for Milan from Manchester City during the January transfer window for around £20 million and scored twice on his debut as they beat Udinese 2-1.

Half of all U.S. workers earned less than $26,363 in 2010
Washington, D.C., United States (AHN) – Although the per capita income of all U.S. workers in 2010 was at $39,959.30, about half of American employees earned less than $26,363.55 a year.
The Social Security Administration which released the figure explained the large difference between the average and median income to wage levels being skewed. The difference represents the growing income gap in the country in which those few on top get very high compensation packages and the majority get pittance.
The figures are not significantly far from the finding of a study made by two former Census Bureau officials that the median household income in the U.S. was $49,909. Adjusted for inflation, the figure showed a 6.7 percent decline from June 2009 to June 2011.
It was more than double the decline in household income from December 2007 to June 2009 which was by 3.2 percent.
According to the authors of the study, Gordon Green Jr. and John Coder, the combined 9.8 percent drop in income from the start of the recession to middle of this year is apparently the largest decline in several decades.

Sioux Falls police say one man is in custody, after a domestic disturbance led to a standoff Friday night.
Police were called to a home in the 4700 block of North Timberline Road Friday evening. The caller said her boyfriend, Christopher Harkless, was upset and had a rifle. She told the 911 operator that she was fearful he was going to do harm to the people inside the home. During the phone call, Harkless fired a shot outside the home. The woman and a friend were able to leave the home after Harkless locked himself in a bathroom.
Emergency Response Teams from both the Sioux Falls Police Department and the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office were called to the home and resolved the situation after a brief negotiation with Harkless. No one was hurt during the incident.
Harkless was taken into custody for one count of Aggravated Assault Domestic, one count of Aggravated Assault, one count of reckless discharge of a firearm, and one count of possession of a loaded firearm while intoxicated. He is being held in the Minnehaha County Jail.
Traffic on Timberline Road was blocked off during the standoff.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
There's a lot more to warrior aggro management and warrior tanking in general than just sunder armor. There's Revenge, an instant attack after you dodge, block, or parry an enemy attack which is also high threat. There's Disarm, which is high threat and obviously serves as a debuff. There's Shield Bash, which is high threat and interrupts casting (very important). There's Shield Block and Shield Wall, which increase block percentages for a brief time so you can get in a Revenge to increase threat. There's Demoralizing Shout, which can be used to gain initial aggro and is also a nice attack power debuff. There's Cleave, Sweeping Strikes, and Whirlwind, which allow a warrior to fight multiple enemies at once to keep multiple enemies aggro. That's not even getting into swicthing stances efficiently to maintain aggro and raise DPS.
To say that Warriors are designed around Sunder Armor is somewhat true since that is a main tool in aggro management because it's cheap and effective and it stacks. But a good warrior tank uses lots more than just Sunder. But to your credit, you did admit you didn't know everything about them. Now you know more ;)

Illustris: Incredible New Universe Simulation Built with Supercomputer
Using a supercomputer, scientists have built a 3-dimensional model of how the universe evolved after the big bang. Apparently, the model is so complex that a normal desktop computer would have required 2,000 years to do all the calculations.
It is a breathtakingly beautiful and detailed model, allowing viewers to find galaxies and dive into them. It shows the spreading of cosmic gasses, the distribution of both dark and ordinary matter, and the formation of galaxies. No such model has ever been built before. It's the result of a collaboration known as the Illustris Project.
Ghost Algebra: Gorgeously Unsettling Animated Film by Janie Geiser
This is a brilliant animation from Janie Geiser who is a renowned theater and film artist specializing in the use of inanimate objects and toys to create unsettling and evocative films and performances. Her work has been screened worldwide, including at the Whitney, Guggenheim, Museum of Modern Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The film investigates the origins of the word 'algebra,' which turn out to be somewhat interesting. Frankly, I had never once even considered the word before watching this film.
It's a subtle film. A beautiful but difficult film. Let's think about this experimental film, shall we? What do we see in this film? Holes. Lots of them. Holes for looking through. There's a little plastic doll who looks very 1940s, some birds, numerals, trees, and lots of grass. Blades of grass. When I see a little plastic girl doll looking into holes I see a filmmaker looking into a camera to investigate the world, or rather the mind, or perhaps the unconscious. This doll approaches an odd stone bunker on a hill and she peers into a small opening into darkness. It looks a bit like an old Nazi gun bunker. Carl Jung would approve! All experimental films should dig into the unconscious mind, I think. People throw 'dreamlike' around quite often these days when talking about films. There are very few dreamlike films. What most people mean by dreamlike is simply blurry. Anyway, our plastic doll sees things in storybook fashion that suggest nature and Nazis. There's warfare going on. The precision of battle maps. The doll's vision puts conflicting images of tamed nature description together with extreme violence. Nothing is attached properly to anything. Ideas do not lead to logical conclusions. Instead, they lead to odd constructions, more like what is required by the creative mind.
Geiser's 'algebra' theme seems to peek through at times in images of severed limbs or broken bones, teeth, spilled blood, and of course the various number machines that pop up. The word algebra apparently used to have a meaning related to restoration or reunion, sometimes applying to the setting of broken bones which was often done in medieval times by a dentist who also performed bloodlettings. Interesting. But this film is not really about mathematics. At least not the usual kind. It's about piecing together a vision of the world. Immersion.
Joseph Cornell – Worlds in a Box: 1991 Documentary
This is a 1991 documentary film about the legendary artist and filmmaker, Joseph Cornell, who made those magnificent and strange collage boxes. He was also one of our great experimental filmmakers and once apparently made Salvador Dali extremely jealous at a screening of his masterpiece, Rose Hobart.
In this film we get to hear people like Susan Sontag, Stan Brakhage, and Tony Curtis talk about their friendships with the artist. It turns out that Curtis was quite a collector and he seemed to have a very deep understanding of what Cornell was doing in his work.
1964 Bell Labs Film About How to Make Films with a Computer
This fascinating film was produced at AT&T's Bell Labs in 1964. It was made by Ken Knowlton to describe the use of computers to make animated films. The film itself was created entirely on a computer. This is a glimpse into the groundbreaking work that led to the computer graphics we all enjoy so frequently today. Knowlton was both an artist and a computer graphics programmer who developed several programming languages for producing bitmap animations.
Interestingly, Ken Knowlton worked closely with pioneering experimental filmmaker Stan Vanderbeek at the Bell Labs on many early computer animations. Vanderbeek is the subject of my prior post about his short film, 'Science Friction.'
