Skepticism has greeted the White House's announcement that it is changing Obamacare rules requiring religious groups to give employees free birth control.
Skepticism has greeted the White House's announcement that it is changing Obamacare rules requiring religious groups to give employees free birth control.
Government officials are working on a plan that will allow religious nonprofits to opt out of paying for contraceptives and abortifacients in their healthcare plans.
After the Supreme Court's decision Monday in favor of Hobby Lobby, a question arose: Did the decision apply only to birth control that caused abortions or did it apply to all forms?
The court ruled last Thursday that Wheaton College is now exempt from imposing the HHS contraception mandate that goes against the schools closely held religious beliefs.
Unjust discrimination against homosexuals must be avoided and children brought up in same-sex unions must be treated like anybody else, advises a new document from the Vatican.
More than four in 10 Americans support the Obama administration's controversial contraception mandate, which requires nonprofits and businesses to provide birth control even if they have religious objections.
Can the Christian owners of a for-profit business refuse to provide coverage for abortion-inducing drugs? The Supreme Court will let us know. Stay tuned to BreakPoint.
Two religious families owning the Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties have gone to the Supreme Court for exemption of the birth control clause of the Affordable Care Act on grounds of religious faith.

"Foreign Film" at Film Forum
Film" at Film Forum
lives–every time a link is made with film history, every time you can see
a classic (old or new) that recalls why this medium matters. In Film Forum's
current program, "The Golden Age of the Foreign Film," the film culture
we used to know–but that certainly died along with regular repertory houses–is
temporarily reborn (the series runs through Sept. 14). Reviving foreign language
films in America is a noble, fun task; it establishes where American film lovers
and makers learned to take movies seriously, to realize there was art in this
popular, pleasurable entertainment form.
Contemporary cinema is like
a prodigal child who has forgotten his roots. Film Forum traces the family tree
of movie achievements that make the best new films possible. Here's the
lineage: from Fellini to Carne, Godard to Kurosawa, Satyajit Ray to Truffaut,
Bergman to Cocteau. There are lots of omissions (only one Renoir! No Murnau,
no Ophuls, no Vigo, no Lean, no Powell, a questionable but rare Malle–and
no Lola!), but you can still get the basics.
Shocking thing is: most
of today's moviegoing audience don't know the basics. It's little
fault of their own (blame trendy critics and wary exhibitors, also victims of
Hollywood cultural chauvinism). But that ignorance is the reason the best movies
of the past decade (Nouvelle Vague, Short Cuts, Naked,
The Long Day Closes, Wild Reeds, Hamsun, Beloved) not
only failed to win wide reception but, worst of all, were largely misunderstood.
And the disaster continues. It's a bitter joke to see critics apply mandarin
boilerplate to praise each new Iranian film when they haven't fostered
a readership ready to appreciate the contemplative lack of violence, scatology
and sarcasm. (If critics who praised The Wind Will Carry Us were also
the ones who praised The Blair Witch Project, who's a reader to
Life experience is the greatest
foundation for appreciating works of art but recognized, innovative great art
counts, too. You may not know how bad The Usual Suspects is if you haven't
seen Band of Outsiders, but you're also unlikely to appreciate how
fine Time Regained is if you don't know The Rules of the Game.
That latter pun is aimed
at the bizarre twist in modern film smarts where viewers and critics seem to
deliberately renounce the humanist lessons of the great classics. What we were
fascinated to understand about human experience from Diary of a Country Priest
(Aug. 28) and The Passion of Joan of Arc was unaccountably forgotten
when Beloved appeared. Ray's "The Apu Trilogy" (Parts
1 and 2 on Aug. 27) revealed the essence of both family life and worldliness
that defenders of American Beauty defiled. Modern filmmakers don't
have to reinvent the wheel. They have to recover the road map.
It's as if there were
a hidden political resentment behind the currently propagated idea that there
never was a golden age. This obstinacy isn't simply a matter of shoring
up current fare so much as contemporary critics aggrandizing their own sense
of importance–hoping that by praising Hou Hsiao-hsien, maybe they can be
Agee to his Dreyer. (Resenting the past as "an unfair reproach to the present"
is how Phillip Lopate judiciously paraphrased this bullheaded position, but
still he carefully, knowledgeably, made the case for 1945-'65 as a golden
era.) It's not snobbish or conservative to refer to a golden age–The
Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Jules and Jim (Sept. 1-2), The Golden
Coach (Sept. 7) and L'Avventura (Aug. 23) are as formally and
morally daring as it gets. Fans of hoodrat movies will envy the audacity and
political insight about youth gangs and social deprivation in Los Olvidados
(Aug. 31). Neil Labute's antisex charades are exposed by the sexiness and
pity of Les Bonnes Femmes (Sept. 11). The juvenile confusions of Chuck
and Buck shrivel next to the emotional compulsions of Rocco and His Brothers
(Sept. 6). The contemporary disavowal of philosophical tradition is critiqued
by the spiritual power alternately dredged up by The Seventh Seal (Sept.
8-9) and Paisan (Aug. 29).
A key to why this series
matters can be found in Film Forum's own promotional brochure description
of Nights of Cabiria as "the rediscovered Fellini masterpiece."
Since when? It's doubtful that film's greatness was ever forgotten.
It's the culture's attention deficit disorder that's been discovered.
Because Nights of Cabiria's rerelease two years ago was less than
world-shaking, "rediscovery" seems more wishful than accurate. Film
Forum recognizes that what's needed is an atmosphere where new viewers
can shake off their resistance to the past and accept age-old revelations as
their own. That was true for the now-ascendant generation of film critics and
curators who weren't jealous or afraid of the past but took inspiration
from it.
Yet some terrible insecurity–I
figure a skepticism about the humanist virtues shared by artists as distinct
as Renoir, Buñuel and Kurosawa–happened in recent years. Embarrassed
by emotion, late film culture rejected golden age sincerity. How else to explain
the bloodless bad taste of critics praising Todd Haynes' Safe as
if Antonioni's Red Desert (Aug. 23) never existed! This signaled
a breakdown in cultural continuity as well as a frightening dismissal of the
political inquiry inherent in golden age movie art. It's what made Antonioni's
remarkably stylized, metaphysical view of a housewife's anxiety not only
superbly esthetic but forensic–an unabashed argument for potential human
progress. Such grave ambitions make the word "masterpiece" seem a
worthy description and goal. It's scarcely earned these days–and not
because people aren't making great films anymore. We've somehow lost
the parameters to recognize magnitude. Get your bearings now.
"The Golden Age of
the Foreign Film" runs through Sept. 14 at Film Forum, 209 W. Houston St.

The Girl
on The Bridge directed
by Patrice Leconte
Leconte always struck me as a fraudulent artiste–the arduously forlorn
M. Hire, the drably whimsical The Hairdresser's Husband.
And Ridicule? Well, you know. This time, with The Girl on the Bridge,
he almost got me. The widescreen, black-and-white photography (by Jean-Marie
Dreujou) illustrates the glory of film! In this awful period of digital transition,
it's brassy for Leconte to extend his highbrow artifices into (of all things)
a Claude Lelouch movie. The Girl on the Bridge is not as genuinely erotic
as A Man and a Woman (a kitsch masterpiece that, in its day, had much
to do with getting audiences accustomed to other French films). But sometimes
Leconte's loony story of suicidal tramp Adele (Vanessa Paradis) and creepy
cabaret knife-thrower Gabor (Daniel Auteuil) sublimating their neuroses in public
demonstrations of l'amour fou becomes damned wondrous.
For about the first 40 minutes
an illusion is sustained primarily through golden age reverb. The story and
setting suggest Bergman's The Naked Night, Chabrol's Les
Bonnes Femmes, Ophuls' Lola Montes and La Ronde, too.
Yet the rifling is Leconte's own. This romantic pastiche may come closer
to personal expression for this usually impersonal modern auteur than the films
that previously won him middlebrow acclaim (such as those at his recent retrospective
at the Museum of Modern Art).
Leconte, clearly, savors
romantic tropes from the movies' golden age. It may be impossible to resist
all his reminiscences. Crazed Adele and hangdog Gabor may be incredulous ("Ever
felt fear and pleasure at once?" Adele asks with a straight face) but they
have depth of a kind. Leconte has synthesized his lovers from a long cinematic
legacy (though not out of pure imagination like the waifs in Leos Carax's
superb Les Amant du Pont Neuf). As much as Leconte evokes the widescreen
silver-and-shadow of the French New Wave (Lola, Shoot the Piano Player)
and the stark tragedies of Italian Neorealism (White Nights, Nights
of Cabiria, Variety Lights), he plumbs even further to the roots
of film history. Adele's leap off the bridge and Gabor's offer of
a second chance at life (love) rework the setup of Von Sternberg's powerfully
erotic 1928 The Docks of New York and splashes the water imagery and
romantic anxiety of Jean Vigo's 1934 L'Atalante.
The swirling imagery and
romantic poses work a spell. (It's only broken once–when Brenda Lee's
"I'm Sorry" punctures several characters' dreams.) Dreujou
charges his black-and-white palette, befitting the evanescent emotions. Every
one of Adele and Gabor's lovelorn gestures–on the bridge, in a casino,
in Greece and Turkey–looks singed. It's as nostalgic as it is romantic.
He even dares feature a rainbow and fireworks in black and white. The audacity
prods the imagination. It's like the horizontal sun glare that goes right
across Gabor's eyes–dazzlement. Auteuil's haunted look gives
this nonsense intermittent gravity and gap-toothed Paradis has some of Bardot's
Fess up: In addition to
the truths golden age cinema has taught, it also leaves a wellspring of ersatz
wisdom–it's what people fall for in Woody Allen's no less derivative
"serious" films. Gabor advises Adele, "We always think luck is
what we don't have." And Leconte should know. Despite a heavy-handed
sense of humor, he here deftly uses a score of Arabic and big-band music to
balance the Gallic melancholy. So it's not Demy's The Bay of Angels.
The film student in me will take it over the more solemn but dull An Affair
of Love.

"The standard weight paper was nice and heavy and the colors were vivid. The regular delivery arrived before the expected date I am reordering more today! Will definately use tiny prints for my son's engagement party invitations!"
"Beautiful card, printing quality superb. Definitely go for the better paper it is really worth it. Also, I would increase the type size (if possible) of the second line (family names) because it looks a bit small (you and your kids need to have short names for this to work)."
"This card arrived and looks gorgeous. Great layout,paper quality and colors. It is larger than I realized too (but not too large) and there is actually good sized room for the pictures."
"I wanted a New Year's card with multiple photo spaces. This card was perfect, in that it had one horizontal spot for a group photo and squarer spots for individual pictures. The deciding factor was being able to put photos with captions on the back as well. I found cheaper cards on other sites, but they either didn't have New Year's cards, or a good layout, or good reviews. TinyPrints reviews often said that the quality was better than expected, and I agree. After placing the order, I realized I hadn't ordered enough and left a phone message. They called back as soon as they opened the next day, amended my order with no problem, and still had my rush delivery to me in 2 days--even with the free design review. I'm a customer for life! A+ product and service!"

Annals of rank hubris, Larry Summers edition
This is why I love the blogs. The Epicurean Dealmaker has picked up on a detail buried in the 17th paragraph of a dry Bloomberg story from March about the relative funding costs of Harvard and Princeton — a story which, in light of TED's comments, surely counts as having massively buried its lede.
The subject is those notorious interest rate swaps, put on by Larry Summers, on which Harvard lost a whopping $1 billion. And here's the key graf:
Most of the swaps, signed when Summers, 54, was Harvard's president from 2001 to 2006, were intended to lock in rates for debt that Harvard expected to issue as far off as 2022, for a 340-acre campus expansion, according to Moody's Investors Service. In 2006 and 2007, Moody's warned of risks from those so-called forward swaps, though it said the school's finances and management experience mitigated them. Summers declined to comment on the record about the matter.
It turns out that Summers wasn't protecting Harvard from having to pay more on its floating-rate debt were interest rates to rise. Instead, he was swapping hypothetical future floating-rate bonds into fixed-rate obligations. Says TED:
Forward swaps, or forward start swaps—which behave like normal swaps except the offsetting fixed and floating rate payments are scheduled to start at a date certain in the future—by themselves count as little more than rank interest rate speculation, specifically in this instance as a bet that short-term interest rates will rise in the future. They can make a great deal of sense when an issuer intends to sell bonds in the relatively near future and when the issuer wants to hedge against budgetary uncertainty by converting floating rate obligations into fixed rate debt. That being said, I have rarely encountered a corporate client who feels confident enough about both their absolute funding needs and current and impending market conditions to enter into a forward swap starting more than nine months into the future. Entering into a forward start swap for debt you do not intend to issue up to 20 years in the future sounds like either rank hubris or free money for Wall Street swap desks.
Of course, it's not uncommon to see the term "rank hubris" applied in the general vicinity of Larry Summers. But let's be clear, here: what Summers did could in no way be considered a hedge, under any common definition of the term. He was indulging in interest-rate speculation, just like Robert Citron. I think it's fair to say that no previous Harvard president would ever have considered himself qualified to do such a thing, but Summers never let such considerations stop him. And his alma mater is now paying the 10-digit price.

Keep it up on Summers.
Easily Obama's worst appointment.
Check out the broadside from the economist community on LS.
Of course it could be considered a hedge. Harvard was going to start a big expansion and knew it would need to borrow a lot of money in the future, so it paid fixed on a forward starting swap to lock in a rate. It's the same thing as the eurodollar futures market, or any commodity market (except for wheat, I guess), for that matter.
But even ex-ante, it's a stupid hedge, because it doesn't protect Harvard from a scenario where its debt widens a lot relative to swaps.
it may be stupid (in hindsight…), but it's a hedge.
are we really supposed to believe that Summers played a role in putting on this trade? there is nothing in the article that suggests Summers was being consulted by his $20mm/yr portfolio managers on trades like this.
I agree with Sean above…
However, the endowment would be much better off by hiring Penn MBAs.
On another note.. I think the "epicurean dealmaker" has coined the term "rank hubris", a search on google is very dry.
Excelent observation except please not ethat Larry Summers is an MIT grad, not Harvard.
Larry is mentioned in this article as being the one who suggested entering into the swap deals. It also details the other screw-ups that caused Harvard's endowment to tank.
http://nytimes.com/2009/02/21/business/e conomy/21harvard.html
So shame on Larry. He belongs in the same doghouse as Ben Stein.
While I do not agree with Larry Summers on many things, I think comparing his actions (or anyone else's who were involved) related to these interest rate swaps to Robert Citron's actions is one hell of a stretch. For those interested, the book "Big Bets Gone Bad: Derivatives and Bankruptcy in Orange County" does a nice job of describing what happened with Citron's investment strategy.
Regarding the article that is linked, we see this type of reporting from Bloomberg frequently. They are very good at pointing out trades that don't look good on an ex post basis.
While their reporting in this manner might be an interesting story, it does nothing to assist decision makers with future decisions related to these matters. In fact it may be detrimental to the decision making process. Decision makers may remove viable options, regardless of how logical they may be on an ex ante basis, from the spectrum of possible options out of fear from articles similar to this one that could be written in the future.
If Summers entered into the swaps when short term rates were at 1% i.e. 2003 to 2004, it's not unreasonable to believe that he was just trying to lock in low interest rates on the debt. (He probably figured that the likelihood that the Federal Funds Rate would fall below 1% was tiny.)
In fact, given the likelihood of inflation in the middle run, unwinding these contracts may turn out to be an incredibly stupid decision.
The problem really is that collateralized interest rate swaps aren't really hedges (unless you've got a direct line to the Federal Reserve for liquidity). When the contract moves against you the cash call can be so large that retail derivatives customers can't carry them to the point in time where they would be valuable. Calling a product with these characteristics a hedge is misleading.
I kind of disagree with "it seemed a good idea at the time defense." Extrapolations twenty years out to the future are guesses in the extreme. To many Black Swans can happen. I don't think a prudent fiduciary, who really feared being held accountable for his or her breaching a fiduciary duty would make such a gamble.
Summers may look like an idiot at the moment, but this ploy might yet become a stroke of genius if Bernanke ever stops printing money and giving it away.
I take pleasure in, lead to I found just what I was looking for. You've ended my 4 day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day. Bye

I'm seeing a lot of Tumbly Artists bluther about people not sourcing, not re-blogging from source, or not properly re-blogging credits, of their artwork or art in general.
Then I take a look at their blog and low and behold some of them believe they are the exceptions.
Um, excuse me, but no.
Do not re-blog sourceless artwork even if the artist is ubiquitous or well-known. GIFs from an Anime also count, credit the animation company and title! Ask permissions on and credit everything—-artists do not owe you a single sausage: don't steal from them like they owe you.

Attention Animal Crossing players! If you go to the Club Tortimer island and are joined by Megu from Matar (or anyone else from Matar), leave immediately. Go talk to Leilani immediately, because if you don't Megu will start talking to her and prevent you from leaving. She prevented me from leaving for over an hour before I decided to power off my 3DS.
Once again, if you see Megu from Matar, leave the island immediately. She will prevent you from taking back any of the beetles, fish, or fruit you have collected.
Everyone is posting this around, but no one is bothering to check it out :\
The person in question had a simple disconnection—-I doubt anything was truly their fault. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE DAMN TIME.
Here is her EXPLAINING the situation.
So if y'all can, unlike the original post from Eseamus and like and REBLOG the explanation post you'd be doing a GREAT favor in reducing the hate. It's animal crossing, guys. Cmon.

Same great KRK sound in a limited edition gold color design.
KRK has redesigned its wildly popular Rokit series of studio monitors, providing a broader frequency response, a new cabinet design, an adjustment in power for better balance, and several other enhancements. All three models feature a front-firing port that provides low frequency extension without boundary coupling, an improved speaker voicing for even more accurate frequency response, a 1" silk dome tweeter, and an Aramid glass composite woofer. They are lightweight, low profile and are offered at a price that makes professional-level monitoring affordable for even the most humble studios.
Other monitors have ports on the back of the cabinet. These rear-firing ports tend to create bass coupling with walls and corners amplifying low frequency information which will color your mix. The KRK Generation 3 Rokit studio monitor's design includes front-firing ports, which are just the right shape and taper to reduce port turbulence. You'll appreciate the clean and accurate bass performance this approach delivers, even at high SPL's.
A great-sounding monitor doesn't stop with a great cabinet and custom drivers. KRKs true bi-amplified amplifier system provides discrete low-distortion power for each driver. While the active crossover systems provide smooth and accurate frequency response, and again, accurate diffraction control.
Hurry before they're gone!

Comments about KRK Rokit Powered 5" Generation 3 - Vintage Gold:
Bought these speakers to replace some Tascam NFM's I had for the past six years (one of the volume pots in the back of the tascams were getting "noisy" so the time came to plunk some money down on a new pair of monitors.
Totally Impressive & Awesome Monitors! The versatility of being able to incorporate them into my studio via RCA, XLR, or TSR jacks was a plus, and from the moment I unboxed them and plugged them in I was very pleased.
The sound on these monitors is just what everyone tends to describe them as, REAL, Rich, Full Sound, & when you have a really nice source to pump into them, you'll have no doubt in your mind these monitors are worth every penny & then some.
They are built very nicely, and they allow you to tweak the sound (if need be) and come with built in sound dampers (which should suffice for most applications) and I am very happy with the price I paid and the speed of shipping (and how well they were packed for shipping, by Musicians Friend)
All in all, they earn a 5-Star rating by this happy & satisfied customer.

Comments about KRK Rokit Powered 5" Generation 3 - Vintage Gold:
KRK has been a well-known top name in studio monitors and the Rokit 5's have been an industry standard starting point for at least 10 years now. I bought these around Christmas time when they were on holiday discount and I couldn't be happier. Despite what conventional wisdom says about them on the internet that they sound bad - they don't. I compared them side-by-side with the regular black Rokit 5's and they sound identical.
There are a few things that are not in the product description that I think people should be aware of however:
1) These monitors are HEAVY. Which is good because you want studio monitors to be dense to avoid vibration problems.
2) The user manual comes in a plastic bag and is extremely helpful in describing monitor placement and tuning.
3) The pictures shown at the top make these appear a much darker gold than what they are. Think of a Les Paul Goldtop and it's that sort of color.
4) There is a very thin padded strip at the bottom that helps with the vibrations between your desk (or whatever surface you choose) and the monitors. However, I still recommend buying a set of Auralex Mopads, as this included strip will not complete the isolation of the monitors.

I needed a pair of monitors for my home DJ setup and these definetly satisfied my needs and then some. Had to actually trim the bass on these units which by the way is one of the great features of these units. Perfect for my application.

Lose Baby Weight Like a Celebrity?!?!
I left the hospital after birth still looking 6 months pregnant. I'm not sure when it became a badge of honor to rapidly lose weight after having a baby. Really, why lose baby weight like a celebrity when mother nature has a very natural way to help your body recover and heal at a safe pace.
I chose to breast feed all 4 of my boys, (every woman is different) and each time for me, it was quite a painful adjustment; like pain comparable to ripping out all your fingernails and toenails one by one. Then as you're trying to rest up and recover, oh yeah, you have a sweet little baby in need of you round the clock for feedings and diaper changing, even though you're super sleep deprived. And hormones — experiencing crazy hormones all over the place — crying one minute, super overwhelmed, then content and happy the next. Honestly, after returning from the hospital, the last thing on my mind was trying to fit into my skinny jeans.
Still, if you want to lose baby weight like a celebrity, here's a few suggestions, (that I honestly don't recommend):
– before your due date, schedule an elective c-section and tummy tuck to keep you from gaining those extra pounds.
– hire a personal trainer to come to your home and work one on one with you for 3-4 hours each day, 6 – 7 days per week.
– hire a nanny to care for your newborn while you are training for hours.
– hire a hairstylist, a clothing consultant, and a makeup artist so you can look amazing when you venture out into public, and for your first photos with your baby.
– hire a personal chef to prepare all your healthy meals and snacks, not to mention for your family too if you have other hungry people in your home.
– be sure to do deep detoxifying cleanses, eliminate all white foods, and especially carbs.
– attach a breast pump to your body in between working out to help burn extra calories.
– hire a maid to do laundry, to clean your house, and run your errands.
Sound insane? Any doctor will tell you that rapid weight loss from dieting and/or exercise after having a baby is not good for you — (or your baby if you're breast feeding). Be patient. It will happen. Little by little. Be realistic. Enjoy the time with your little precious baby, who is small only once. They grow so fast! What's a few extra months in retrospect when you can eventually lose weight the way nature intended? In my experience, those few extra months are priceless indeed — life slows down and allows you to bond with the beautiful new life you and your partner created. Once that time is gone, it's gone.
When you do feel up to adding a little physical activity to your day, (or when your doctor clears you) why not try my MARCHING – LOW IMPACT AEROBICS? It is only 30 min. long. I filmed it 4 weeks after having my baby, so trust me, no plyometrics, jumping jacks, or burpees in this one. And no, I was nowhere near fitting into my skinny jeans when we filmed it. It's a great workout, easy on joints, perfect if you are easing back into exercising for whatever reason.

Highlights of testimony submitted by CMD to the U.S. Senate's Judiciary Committee in July 2012, where it provided case studies of some of the secretly-funded nonprofit groups that have reportedly received subpoenas in the "John Doe" probe.
President Obama was elected on a platform that included promises for increased transparency and openness in government. Despite this rhetoric, Obama has prosecuted more whistleblowers than any administration in history.
Here's a guide to how the government has focused its weapons of surveillance on millions of Americans.
This week, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a non-profit government watchdog group, released a report -- "The Worst Governors in America," and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker came in sixth in the top category. The report has an amusing circus theme and dubs Walker a "Ringmaster," but it is heavily documented and footnoted to reliable sources and primary documents. The criteria CREW used when assessing the nation's governors were the following: corruption, transparency, partisan politics, pressuring public officials, cronyism, self-enrichment, scandal and mismanagement.
This article was first published by PRWatch.org on December 31, 2012, while we were writing our report "Dissent or Terror: How the Nation's Counter Terrorism Apparatus, in Partnership with Corporate America, Turned on Occupy Wall Street," published by DBA Press and the Center for Media and Democracy in May 2013. We re-release it now as part of a PRWatch series on the new report.
Records obtained from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by DBA Press and the Center for Media and Democracy (DBA/CMD) through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request indicate that the FBI employed tactics under a "counter terrorism" initiative called "Operation Tripwire" in the monitoring of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) activists.
MADISON, WI -- DBA Press and the Center for Media and Democracy today released the results of a year-long investigation: "Dissent or Terror: How the Nation's Counter Terrorism Apparatus, In Partnership With Corporate America, Turned on Occupy Wall Street."
The report, a distillation of thousands of pages of records obtained from counter terrorism/law enforcement agencies, details how state/regional "fusion center" personnel monitored the Occupy Wall Street movement over the course of 2011 and 2012. Personnel engaged in this activity at fusion centers include employees of municipal, county and federal counter terrorism/homeland security entities. Such entities include local police departments, the FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (including U.S. DHS components such as the Transportation Security Administration).
This spring, three senior Obama Administration officials informed Daniel Klaidman of The Daily Beast that the CIA would no longer operate targeted killings with unmanned drones. All targeted killings using the controversial technology would from now on be conducted by the Department of Defense, which has its own drones program in place.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) have introduced a new constitutional amendment to overturn the damage done by Citizens United, Buckley v. Valeo, and other judicial decisions that have diluted the role of ordinary people in American democracy.
Last week, the Center for Media and Democracy and The Nation magazine worked together to publish a package in The Nation and a new online wiki resource on Pete Peterson and the Campaign to Fix the Debt, an entity we consider an "astroturf supergroup" with a huge budget working hard to create the fantasy that Americans care more about national debt and deficits than jobs and the economy. Fix the Debt is currently exploiting the "sequester" debate in Congress to encourage steep cuts to incredibly popular social programs like Medicare and Social Security.
-- By Lisa Graves, Brendan Fischer, and Meher Ahmad
The Obama administration is urging a federal court to overturn a ruling that blocked the government from enforcing a law that could allow the military to imprison American citizens indefinitely, without trial. The Center for Media and Democracy joined an amicus brief with groups across the political spectrum calling for the judiciary to reject such unchecked power to use "indefinite detention."

How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe
Charles Yu
How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe
Charles Yu
National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Award winner Charles Yu delivers his debut novel, a razor-sharp, ridiculously funny, and utterly touching story of a son searching for his father … through quantum space-time. Minor Universe 31 is a vast story-space on the outskirts of fiction, where paradox fluctuates like the stock market, lonely sexbots beckon failed protagonists, and time travel is serious business. Every day, people get into time machines and try to do the one thing they should never do: change the past. That's where Charles Yu, time travel technician–part counselor, part gadget repair man–steps in. He helps save people from themselves. Literally. When he's not taking client calls or consoling his boss, Phil, who could really use an upgrade, Yu visits his mother (stuck in a one-hour cycle of time, she makes dinner over and over and over) and searches for his father, who invented time travel and then vanished. Accompanied by TAMMY, an operating system with low self-esteem, and Ed, a nonexistent but ontologically valid dog, Yu sets out, and back, and beyond, in order to find the one day where he and his father can meet in memory. He learns that the key may be found in a book he got from his future self. It's called How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, and he's the author. And somewhere inside it is the information that could help him–in fact it may even save his life. Wildly new and adventurous, Yu's debut is certain to send shock waves of wonder through literary space-time.

Couldn't They Have Picked A Slightly Different Mascot?
7/11/08 in General Sports | 100%InjuryRate | 1283 respect
I had no idea about this, but apparently the famous Running Of The Bulls over in Pamplona, Spain, which is going on as we speak, has a mascot.
The mascot is a blue bull named, uh, Mr. Testis. If you're wondering why he's named that, just watch the video.
By the way, is there something wrong with the people in Pamplona or something? First they risk their lives running with the bulls and then they create mascots like this one. There must be something in the water over there, and it's certainly not good.
By the way, Mr. Testis still doesn't hold a candle to Mr. Testicles, the official mascot for the Male Cancer Awareness Campaign. Check him out in action.
Not only can he figure skate, but he can ski and snowboard too. He's the Bo Jackson of mascots.
Nice try Pamplona, but you'll never take down Mr. Testicles in terms of ridiculously embarrassing sports mascots.

IntroAmao Kakeru loves the mysterious card game called LiveOn, in which players can summon real-life monsters to life. The only problem is that he's never won a single game. Not only that, but he lacks a powerful LiveChange card that would allow him to transform into a monster himself. This all changes one day when he meets a mysterious puppy monster named Peddal who can create monster cards at will. From Peddal he gains the Tategami Wolf (Maned Wolf) card, allowing him to change into a pyrokinetic monster wolf that can talk to his monsters.A Mons series in the vein of Yu-Gi-Oh! with a splash of Digimon.

text: I buzzed till I dropped My brief experience with Wellbutrin was a very mixed one. Yes, it does provide energy - an immediate amphetamine-like buzz that will have you out on your feet doing things you'd forgotten were possible. But beware - at least for me it was a false energy, and after about 4 days I had a real setback as I had way overdone it. I had to stop because it it irritated my stomach too, so I'm not a good judge of its value over time. Other anti-depressants can certainly cause a rush of energy - Prozac for instance - but nothing so immediate and noticeable as Wellbutrin. Maybe this is just a temporary side-effect though, and if so Wellbutrin might be a really valuable med. for fighting fatigue - just don't overdo it!

Creative Activities For Toddlers
Having a kid is a complete time job. You not only have to care and attention for your child, feed her, gown her and additionally clean this girl, but you additionally have to host her. Initiating creative activities for toddlers can be a challenge. Here are some fun ideas.
Create a basket of store-bought or perhaps home made percussion instruments. Our might include kazoos, maracas, tambourines and also a triangle. Feel free to use pots, pans and additionally wooden spoons, anything that makes noise. Allow the child to experience as loudly since she would like to. Even package her beat to a favorite tune. Produce a makeshift marching band, with each organ of the family actively playing their personal instrument and parading around the house.
Gather dress-up clothing, like silly caps, belts, scarves, ties and also oversized dresses in a package. Your toddler can use these materials to pretend to be whomever she would like. Your box can consist of a lot of things as you think your child could enjoy. Allow your child the freedom to experiment with the clothing. For example, my child decided which a scarf tied around her neck similar to a cape was a dress. I encouraged her to pretend it ended up being simply that.
Carry on a nature stroll with the toddler. Take time and muse around your landscape. Let her gather her findings, like stones and also leaves, directly into a paper bag. Then, she can glue every one of the this girl secrets on to construction paper.
Collect items which can be utilized for stamping. Our might include bubble wrap, jar lids and apple slices. Allow a sponge to soak all of the paint within a shallow bowl. Then have your youngster press among the items on the paint-filled sponge and additionally then stamp it onto paper.
I usually discover creative activities for toddlers by borrowing publications from the library. More creative events can be found at just your regional library, just where free tools promote creativeness and fun.
Creative events for toddlers raise children's intellectual and also psychological capacities and additionally help a mother or father and additionally child to bond.

I do not have anything bad to say about Heatherwood Trace Apts. I certainly like the new management(since mid 2008). They are always on top of things, they try their best to always have the gates working at the entrance and exit. When they notice druggies out in the parking lot they investigate as to where they live or who they're visiting, and kick them out!!! I definitely would recommend moving here.

Milwaukee, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - Milwaukee Bucks center Larry Sanders will miss at least six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a broken orbital bone near his right eye.
This injury, suffered when Sanders took an elbow from Houston guard James Harden in a Feb. 8 loss to the Rockets, is just another blemish on his already disastrous 2013-14 campaign.
After inking a four-year, $44 million contract extension over the summer, Sanders missed almost two months early in the season after tearing a ligament in his thumb during a bar fight and took a step back on the court when healthy.
In 23 games, Sanders has averaged 7.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.7 blocked shots. Those numbers are down from a breakout 2012-13, when the former VCU big man put up 9.8 points, 9.5 boards and 2.8 blocks per contest.
The Bucks are just 3-20 this season with Sanders in the lineup.

Hello all,
I use a blackberry and was disappointed that I could not control my Rovio with it.
So as an experiment I created a native Blackberry Client.
1) Extract the archive to a webserver
2) edit the .jad file to update the URL to the cod files
eg add your info to the RIM-COD-URL and RIM-COD-URL-1
3) Add a link from your site to the JAD file
4) Navigate your BB browser to the link and install
IMPORTANT: I am not a skilled BB developer, this app is not signed, use at your own risk.
It works fine on my sprint 8830, OS 4.5 but should be fine on curve, pearl and 4.3 OS.
1) Menu->Settings..-> EDIT YOUR ROVIO URL, MENU->Close
2) From the main screen, EDIT->Start Video
3) Commands:
Rot Left: h
FWD: j
Rot Right:l
Go Home: p
Head Up: q
Head Mid: a
Head Dwn: z
Space: update image
* Only tested with BES, theoretically should work with non BES, but may need to add ";deviceside=true" to the end of your URL to enable direct TCP (I cant test this)
* After initial installation and start, rovio goes to back ground just launch again to bring to top, this only happens after initial install.
* There is almost no error detection
If I get time I'll add more commands,

How's the video, smooth? Also, what is the Internet backbone here (provider)? That is, what network access route to Blackberry users use, if iPhone users use AT&T's 3G network?

Nanabot - And One Robot To Rule Them All The under $100 game playing, conversational robot
This is great news... Just got my Rovio a couple of days ago and own a Storm ( may have to use compat mode for the controls) Im on BIS so ill give it a test ( wont be able to test till Monday when im back home to load the program)
Thanks for all your work.
This is great - I just published the application and it should now be accessible by all members. I also added the instructions in with the download.
Can anyone post some screenshots of the program running on a BlackBerry? (I'm on an iPhone, and don't know anyone with a BB, so I can't help unfortunately!)
Thanks again for your contribution. Remember that you can update the download with newer versions as the application moves forward. You can also indicate version numbers in the download so you can post multiple downloads/versions of the same program!
Anyone get it to install yet?
I get
HTTP Error 406: Not Acceptable
The page you are trying to load is not supported by the browser.......
I'm using a Sprint 8330 and BES.
I changed these two URL's in the JAD files.
RIM-COD-URL-1: http://220.127.116.11:8085/share/BBRovio-1.cod
RIM-COD-URL: http://22.214.171.124:8085/share/BBRovio.cod
bbrovio said: Thats all I had to change int the JAD to make it install (the JAD is created by the dev environment). The 406 error sounds like an issue between the webserver and the browser, maybey some permissions or config ont he webserver side ?? I am by no means an expert on the COD install process, so if there are any changes problems I am happy to correct. I have used the following process with an SD card for other apps, see link maybey that helps. http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=java_dev&messa...
You were correct. I had to set up the MIME Types on my web server.
jad = text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor
.jar = application/java-archive
.cod = application/vnd.rim.cod
Works now. I noticed that it does not save my ip address.
You are off to a great start. Keep working on it.....
A newb needs a little help. How do I install this? I tried to go to http://www.robocommunity.com/download/file/15188-104 from my 8310 on ATT. I get an error. "The item you selected cannot be displayed. Would you like to save?" If I say yes it gives me a successful message, but nothing else happens. What is the trick here? Thanks.
I managed to install from the card but so far im not able to get any video. This could be as im on BIS ( added the ";deviceside=true")
Is it possibly as i have a user and password on my rovio? I tried the http://username:password@ipaddress:port;deviceside=true and that also didnt seem to work for me.
It also could be as i have a Storm running in compat mode but the program does launch and pressing keys gives a HTTP error but does then say " head up" etc.

|O'Neal, Bush team up to host All-Star fundraiser for New Orleans
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 15 January 2008 11:36
``This whole weekend is about people being in New Orleans for New Orleans,'' O'Neal said in a statement Tuesday. ``We wanted to show people coming together, celebrating what has been done and remembering that there's still a lot to do.''
A perennial NBA All-Star with the Miami Heat, O'Neal graduated from LSU and returns regularly to southern Louisiana.
Bush recently completed his second season with the New Orleans Saints after being their top draft choice when the NFL team returned to the city after being displaced one season following Hurricane Katrina.
The fundraiser, called the Big Easy Billiards Bash, will be held in a downtown hotel ballroom on Feb. 15, two days before the All-Star game. It includes a pool tournament and an auction. Charities slated to benefit include A Child's Wish, the Father T Foundation and Habitat for Humanity.
``This is a great city with great people,'' Bush said in the statement. ``With the corporate and media attention that New Orleans will get during the NBA All-Star game, I wanted to make sure that there was a focus on helping the people that will be here when the parties and games are over.''

Is it possible to get an abdominoplasty in this scenario?
Hello, I am a 27 year old female. When I was born my stomach wall did not come together properly so they had to tuck in my liver and close it up. I have a extremely abnormal scar instead of a belly button because of this. I am wondering if there is anyone that can help me or has worked on something similar in the past. I had my first consultation today with a very highly regarded local surgeon and they couldn't help me. To say I am devastated would be an understatement. Please help.
Your situation needs an in-person evaluation but I would encourage you to get additional opinions. There are almost always options to consider, it is a question of risk/benefit and individual anatomy.
