Majoritarian speech values suggest that we shouldn't allow corporations to lobby, let alone electioneer. The point of a mixed democratic-market system is that markets are highly powerful tools that can be used for good or ill. Deciding how to use them, how to guide them, and when to reject their results is the heart of democratic politics. The same characteristics that make our business corporations highly effective in their intended tasks of creating jobs and supplying useful products and services—centralized managers answerable only to dispersed financial markets intent on enforcing a single minded focus on economic profit—make them highly suspect participants in the debates and political campaigns that help shape our laws.
If we allow markets to control the political process, we lose democracy. Moreover, we will lose our markets—since successful corporations will simply use money from their past success to buy legislation to guarantee them still more market power. –"Money Is Speech: Why the Citizens United v. FEC Ruling Is Bad for Politics and the Market," Daniel J.H. Greenwood, Dissent

Attention is "the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought," wrote psychologist and philosopher William James in 1890. "It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others, and is a condition which has a real opposite in the confused, dazed, scatterbrained state which in French is called distraction." James came tantalizingly close to understanding at least one aspect of this mysterious phenomenon whose inner workings eluded philosophers, artists, historians, and scientists for centuries. But today, we know much more about attention, and all that we are learning underscores its irrefutable importance in life. Attention is an organ system, akin to our respiratory or circulatory systems, according to cognitive neuroscientist Michael Posner. It is the brain's conductor, leading the orchestration of our minds. Its various networks—orienting, alerting, and the executive—are key not only to higher thinking but also to morality and even happiness. Yet increasingly, we are shaped by distraction. James described a vivid possessing of the mind, an ordering, and a withdrawal. We easily recognize that these states of mind are becoming less and less a given in our lives. The seduction of virtual universes, the allure of multitasking, our allegiance to a constant state of motion: These are markers of a land of distraction. –"A Nation Distracted," Maggie Jackson, Utne Reader

For Seneca, the stereotypical Google user would be remarkably similar to Calvisius Sabinus, a rich Roman who Seneca explains mastered a unique type of ignorance and stupidity. Sabinus was a foolish man, unable to remember the facts and literary allusions that comprised the educated culture of that time. But he was also a vain man who wanted to be intelligent. With his great wealth he devised a plan. Calvisius Sabinus purchased educated slaves, each of whom was tasked with knowing a specific bit of culture. One slave knew Homer, another Hesiod and there were others that were expert in each of the nine lyric poets. It cost him a tremendous amount of money to educate these slaves, but once they were ready he put them to use. If, in the midst of a feast, he wished to recite the Greek poet Pindar then he would simply speak while his slave whispered into his ear. In this way, Sabinus believed he had attained wisdom. –"Calvisius Sabinus," Micah White, Adbusters

Freddie Gray's relatives arrived for the trial in the afternoon, after the prep-school kids had left. By their dress, they seemed to have just gotten off work in the medical and clerical fields. The family did not appear at ease in the courtroom. They winced and dropped their heads as William Porter and his fellow officer Zachary Novak testified to opening the doors of their police van last April and finding Freddie paralyzed, unresponsive, with mucus pooling at his mouth and nose. Four women and one man mournfully listened as the officers described needing to get gloves before they could touch him.
The first of six Baltimore police officers to be brought before the court for their treatment of Freddie Gray, a black twenty-five-year-old whose death in their custody was the immediate cause of the city's uprising last spring, William Porter is young, black, and on trial. Here in this courtroom, in this city, in this nation, race and the future seem so intertwined as to be the same thing.

An attempt to avoid the bottleneck of events taking place around Southland in February has caused two popular events to be rescheduled for not only the same date, but at the same venue.
The Hokonui Moonshiners' Festival and the Young Farmer Otago/Southland regional final are both booked in for March 23 at the Southern Field Days site at Waimumu.
But it might not be bad news.
Young Farmers regional convener for Otago Southland Pete Gardyne said the double booking could actually work in both events' favour.
"It (the festival) might fill the gap between our competition and the evening show.
"It's not ideal, obviously, but we're working through it."
Moonshiners' Festival committee spokesman Jim Geddes agreed, saying "It's not a big deal really, it's a huge site."
Geddes agreed it was a little ironic that in an attempt to avoid the February bottleneck, the two events both rescheduled for the same day and the same venue.
"You're always going to get events happening on the same day."
Ticketing and entry logistics shouldn't be an issue, with the site being large enough to have multiple points of entry, he said.
He sees the bright side of the situation.
"It might encourage people to have a look at both events."
Southern Field Days committee chairman Mark Dillon, who together with the committee is responsible for site bookings, said the 60 hectare site would handle the two events.
"We are trying to grow it as more of an event venue, we'll take note of it (for the future)."

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/03/12 -- Violin Memory, Inc., provider of a new class of high-performance flash-based storage systems, and Fujitsu today announced five virtualization world record benchmark results using Fujitsu's PRIMERGY servers and Violin 6000 Series Flash Memory Arrays. The combination of Fujitsu and Violin enable Fortune 1000 companies to maximize the value of their server-storage infrastructure for virtualization deployments. This is the latest in a series of benchmarks where Violin Flash Memory Arrays were used as the storage systems. Violin's Arrays have quickly become the clear choice for primary enterprise storage that powers the needs of the virtualized data center.
Fujitsu and Violin Virtualize Environments at the Speed of Memory
Fujitsu PRIMERGY industry standard x86 servers lead in quality, performance and efficiency. These systems consistently achieve world records and best-in-class performance results in a wide range of industry benchmark disciplines. These new benchmarks published on November 13, 2012, confirm again that Fujitsu leads virtualization performance and efficiency with their PRIMERGY servers. This latest achievement is a new world record for industry standard x86 Intel-based servers with PRIMERGY BX924 S3 (1) and PRIMERGY RX500 S7 (2).
For the benchmarks, Fujitsu used Violin Flash Memory Arrays storage systems that are ideally suited for virtualization solutions with workloads that generate a high amount of input/output per second (IOPS) and require sustained low-latency. One Violin 6616 Flash Memory Array was used in the configuration with two PRIMERGY BX924 S3 nodes, and two Violin 6616 Performance Flash Memory Arrays were used in the other four, bigger configurations.
The combination of PRIMERGY servers and Violin flash storage provided the optimal combination to achieve predictable performance, allowing more virtual machines (VMs) to run on one host with higher rates of consolidation and reduction of licensing costs. This was demonstrated not only by a single result, but by a series of VMmarks with 2, 4, 6 and 8 PRIMERGY BX924 S3 nodes, that scale up to a factor of 2 when doubling the number of hosts, and show that neither the VMware cluster nor the flash storage subsystem is limiting the overall performance.
The Perfect Supplement for x86 Server Virtualization
Jens-Peter Seick, senior vice president of the product development group at Fujitsu Technology Solutions, said, "PRIMERGY Blade Servers in combination with the outstanding Violin Flash Memory Arrays are a perfect supplement for x86 server virtualization and offer more performance in virtualized environments compared to other products. They provide additional benefits such as improved manageability, availability and operational efficiencies being a shared network resource."
The PRIMERGY BX924 S3 server blade's score of [email protected] tiles (using 2 nodes), [email protected] tiles (using 4 nodes), [email protected] tiles(using 6 nodes) and [email protected] tiles (using 8 nodes), on the VMware VMmark 2.1 benchmark, currently out-perform all other 2-socket servers in these node configurations. These world-record scores demonstrate how well the system's servers, network and storage components support virtual machine movement, storage migration and virtual machine provisioning. In addition, the PRIMERGY RX500 S7 remains the number one performer in the four-processor "matched pair" class by achieving a new best-in-class result of [email protected] tiles(2).
(1) The mentioned VMmark results were achieved by Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX924 S3 server blades, each with 256 GB of memory, using Intel® Xeon® E5-2690 processors and Violin Memory Array V6616, 6 TB, with 64 VIMMs each. Full test results including system specification, further details and current results can be found at: http://www.vmware.com/a/vmmark/. The comparison reflects the status of November 13, 2012.
(2) The mentioned VMmark result was achieved by Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX500 S7 servers, each with 512 GB of memory, using Intel® Xeon® E5-4650 processors. Full test results including system specification, further
details and current results can be found at: http://www.vmware.com/a/vmmark/. The comparison reflects the status of November 13, 2012.

The highly anticipated opening date of Diagon Alley at Universal Orlando Resort is July 8th, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Details have been emerging slowly over the past few weeks including the fire breathing dragon, butterbeer ice cream, interactive shop windows and of course, the tightest kept secret is the main attraction, Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts.
Diagon Alley is the replacement for the old Amity area of Universal Studios. As you approach the area from either side, it appears as if you're walking into London.
Once past the facade however, you notice wizardry everywhere and shops straight out of the Harry Potter novels and films.
The Hogwarts Express will transport guests from King's Cross station in London to the Hogsmeade area in Islands of Adventure. You will most likely need a 2-park pass to ride the Hogwarts Express as you will board in one park and unload in another.
So July 8th, expect to see thousands of people packing the Universal parks and expect long lines, lots of wizard robes and of course, ecstatic fans and plenty of smiles.

ITF says affiliated international unions will support colleagues in the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) in a rapidly escalating multi-port labor disagreement.
Published International Transport Federation (ITF) reports allege that grain companies have hired replacement non-union workers to take over work currently being done by ILWU members in case of a lockout in the Ports of Seattle, Tacoma, and Vancouver, Washington, and Portland, Oregon. At issue are the terms of a collective bargaining agreement between the union and employers. According to the ITF, negotiations began in late August 2012 and ended without a contract in mid-December.
Acting ITF general secretary Steve Cotton said in a prepared statement, "ITF unions are on standby to help their colleagues in the US. Whether it's on ships or in ports, workers are watching what happens next and planning accordingly."
According to the ITF web site, 708 unions representing over 4.5 million transport workers in 154 countries are members of the ITF.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller Talk 'The Flash'
Phil Lord and Chris Miller are two of the only dudes in the industry that aren't morally bankrupt, so it's nice to know that they had a hand in shaping a part of the DCEU.

Viola Davis is the True Hero of 'Suicide Squad'
There are many, many reasons to love Viola Davis, not least of which is that she's far and away the best actor appearing in Suicide Squad. Now you can add another reason to love her to the list as she was apparently rubbed the wrong way by Jared Leto's bothersome Jokering, so much so that were she properly equipped, she would have put him in his place.... read moreSee More
The Next Time We See Superman On Screen, He's Probably Gonna Have a Mullet
If there's one thing Zack Snyder doesn't have an ounce of in his body, it's originality.

It Looks Like Danny McBride's Taking Over the Idris Elba Role for 'Alien: Covenant'
Little bits of information continue to trickle out regarding Ridley Scott's Prometheus follow-up, Alien: Covenant, and the latest concerns Danny McBride's role. A still from the set was released showing Scott talking to McBride on what appears to be the bridge of a ship, meaning that McBride is likely taking over Idris Elba's role as the pilot of whatever ship they're on. Not literally, of course, as Elba's character died at the end of Prometheus, but you know what I mean.... read moreSee More
Will Dwayne Johnson Cry Wolf for Universal?
Universal is proving themselves to be a franchise contender with their upcoming shared cinematic universe, namely because they're willing to go after actors that Marvel and DC haven't already gobbled up.

What Does Sebastian Stan Think About a Bucky and Cap Romance?
One of the greatest things about fandom is how we're allowed to see ourselves in superhuman characters, but that's just not enough for a lot of fans. Petitions have been started for movie studios to do everything under the sun with just about every character you can name, but they never work. How does someone like Sebastian Stan—who found his Bucky Barnes at the center of an internet petition recently—feel about it all though? Read on to find out...... read moreSee More
'Suicide Squad' Shaping Up to Be Ed Hardy's Favorite Movie of 2016
It's no secret that I think Suicide Squad looks like it's going to be one of the worst movies of 2016. In a little over a year we've had three wildly different trailers that can't seem to settle on a tone, reshoots to help lighten the tone, and a never-ending barrage of stories about how Jared Leto's felonious tendencies make him such a great Joker. Now we've got 11 new character posters that look like they Ed Hardy shit them out during a bout of Montezuma's revenge. ... read moreSee More

From the initiative of some of the world's best sailors, the Star Sailors League (SSL), launched an international circuit of regattas in January 2013. This new league has been built on the existing circuit of over 220 International Star regattas around the world, using a unified world ranking, created based on the ATP World Tour
, established by tennis players in 1972. Drawing on this inspiration from tennis, the SSL also awards substantial prize money to the best-ranked sailors.

Star Sailors League Final - Marazzi siblings to compete
by Alex D'Agosta on 28 Nov 2013
Flavio Marazzi © Juerg Kaufmann
Switzerland is prolific with Star sailors, having 177 skippers and crew present in the Star Sailors League (SSL) Ranking List, but there are no doubts that the Helvetic Confederation's best helmsman over the last decade is Flavio Marazzi.
A long time veteran of the Class and passionate Star sailor, Marazzi competed in four Olympics with excellent fourth and fifth place finishes as best results. He was Class Vice-champion twice, in addition to European and South American Champion. Together with his younger brother Renato his last campaign was Sydney in 2000, but now it's time to come back in the spotlight.
Though saddened because his favorite boat is no longer Olympic, thanks to the Star Sailors League he is enthusiastic to be part of this community again: 'I had thought that the best times for the Star Class were over, but nevertheless some of the best keelboat sailors still compete in this special two man boat. This is exactly the reason to continue to sailing in the Class - it's not about the boat, it's the competition and friendship between Star sailors which will make the Star Sailors League successful.'
For the duo from the Swiss capital of Bern, there is also a special commitment to this event: 'This will be a very special regatta, especially because the last time I sailed the Star together with my brother was in 2001. And I also love the venue, because in 2008 we came second in the 5.5m Worlds in Nassau. For the finals my goal is to have fun again sailing the Star with my brother and score some top three results.'
Regardless of final results, Nassau be an emotional experience for a grateful Flavio, as he recently began a different way of sailing: 'I'm currently competing in the GC32 Sailing Series. 2013 was the first season for this new 32 foot catamaran, with competition throughout Europe. For the 2014 season we expect to have six to eight boats sailing short races in the foiling mode. This will create a new style of sailing after the foiling AC72 boats match raced each other.'

Government video news releases (VNRs) appear to remain a safe source of B-roll after the Senate Commerce Committee approved a watered-down version of legislation that makes the burden of identifying the source of the footage far less onerous than originally proposed Thursday, Oct. 20.
The bill would require television and cable channels to clearly notify viewers of the source of government-produced stories. The FCC will be directed to determine rules on when such notification must be given.
The legislation is far less burdensome than the original bill introduced by Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ). That measure would have required continuous disclosure of the source of government VNRs and prevented broadcasters from removing the disclaimer.
The version approved last week only applies to instances when television or cable channels use government-sourced VNRs in their entirety.
