Andy Kindler
Andy Kindler is known in comedy circles as a troublemaker. Originally from New York, and now complaining from California, he annoys people all over the world.
Andy is a frequent guest and correspondent for The Late Show with David Letterman. Each summer at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal he delivers the State of the Industry address to a packed ballroom filled with comics and Hollywood industry types. He is infamous for his scathing attacks on the world of entertainment, including the previously taboo practice of making fun of his fellow comedians. Just as the comedy boom of the nineties was imploding, Andy wrote the "Hack's Handbook" for National Lampoon. This "how-to" guide satirized and exposed tired comedy formulas.
Andy currently recurs on IFC's Maron, Comedy Central's Tosh.0 and Fox's hit animation, Bob's Burgers. He was also a judge on the seventh season of NBC's Last Comic Standing and starred in two half-hour Comedy Central Presents specials. Other noteworthy credits include the HBO Young Comedians Special, Late Night with Conan O'Brian, The Daily Show, Wizards of Waverly Place, Dr. Katz Professional Therapist, Home Movies and The Larry Sanders Show. Andy is often recognized for playing the life-affirming character "Andy" on the CBS sitcom, Everybody Loves Raymond.

Captain's log, Star date 1312.9. Ship's condition, heading back on impulse power only. Main engines burned out. The ship's space warp ability gone. Earth bases which were only days away are now years in the distance. Our overriding question now is what destroyed the Valiant? They lived through the barrier, just as we have. What happened to them after that?
KIRK: Set course for Delta Vega.
Star date 1313.1. We're now approaching Delta Vega. Course set for a standard orbit. This planet, completely uninhabited, is slightly smaller than Earth. Desolate, but rich in crystal and minerals. Kelso's task, transport down with a repair party, try to regenerate the main engines, save the ship. Our task, transport down a man I've known for fifteen years, and if we're successful, maroon him there.
Captain's log, Star date 1313.3. Note commendations on Lieutenant Kelso and the engineering staff. In orbit above us, the engines of the Enterprise are almost fully regenerated. Balance of the landing party is being transported back up. Mitchell, whatever he's become, keeps changing, growing stronger by the minute.
[Delta Vega Brig]
DEHNER: He's been like that for hours now.

2013: Another year in La Jolla's rearview mirror
By Pat Sherman and Ashley Mackin
La Jolla Light
celebrated its 100th year of publication in 2013. We would once again like
to thank our readers for turning to us as their primary source for news and information about San Diego's coastal Jewel. There was much to celebrate this year in La Jolla (and a few things to deliberate and outright bemoan). Here's a recap of the year's top stories.
Hands-on Leadership:
Fresh out of the gate, San Diego's soon-to-be ex-mayor, Bob Filner, wasted no time asserting his authority at La Jolla Children's Pool. In January alone, Filner extended the beach guideline rope to 152 feet, installed a webcam atop the old lifeguard tower to monitor harbor seals (and those who might harass them) and added temporary police surveillance to deter seal harassers — all seen as victories by marine mammal advocates, and an outrage by beach-access proponents.
'Peacemaker' Remembered:
La Jollans honored the memory of La Jolla philanthropist, attorney and law professor Murray Galinson (1937-2013), feted as a champion for the rights of women and minorities.
For the History Books:
La Jolla's beleaguered post office at 1140 Wall St. received a federal historic designation — a feather in the cap of the 1935 WPA-era building that preservationists have fought to save since the U.S. Postal Service announced its pending closure and relocation of its services. The post office remains open, its future uncertain.
Merchants' Big Splash:
The La Jolla Village Merchants Association opened the La Jolla Village Information Center at 1162 Prospect St. with high hopes and bare bones — nearly quadrupling rent the association paid at its former space on Herschel Avenue. As the year progressed, the association sought to sell advertising on flat screen TVs and via window displays, though it never quite caught on. To pay rent, the association now subleases a majority of the space to Sotheby's International Realty.
Bidding Adieu to an Era
: La Vallencia's iconic Whaling Bar (a preferred watering hole and place of intellectual discourse for the likes of Gregory Peck, Raymond Chandler and other high profile patrons) served its last snifter of cognac. The space is now in the final stages of a remodel, and will soon reopen as the expanded Café La Rue, with sidewalk seating along Prospect Street.
100 Years!
Grande Colonial Hotel on Prospect Street celebrated its 100th birthday.
Beach Brutality:
The Seal Cam at Children's Pool filmed two young women appearing to kick, punch and sit on seals during the night. The story was picked up by news outlets around the globe, sparking outrage over the alleged incident. The women were never located and some people later questioned the veracity of the footage, speculating that the incident could have been staged to garner support for the Seal Cam (whose operators, WAN Conservancy, La Jolla Light later learned requested $283,000 per year to operate the camera and monitor footage).
Starving for Attention: A mysterious, albeit short-lived, "starvation trend" afflicted sea lion pups off the La Jolla coast and elsewhere in Southern California. Dehydrated and malnourished, dozens of pups hobbled their way up from the beach onto La Jollans' patios, into the passenger seat of a vehicle and as far inland as the onramp to Interstate 5.

Hi Jim,
So glad that you got on board for this discussion! While I was a contributor to the Ralph Reynolds books, I really did not like the format. Too many people with their own 'take' on ancestors. Maybe, you can find out something with more basis - I hope so. It would be a nice birthday present for me! Roberta

Timothy Spall looks a picture in the first official poster for his new film.
The star, who was born in Battersea and now lives in Forest Hill, is set to appear at the iconic London painter JMW Turner in director Mike Leigh's biopic Mr Turner.
Mike Leigh and Timothy Spall have worked together a number of times before, most notably in 1996's Secrets and Lies.
In May, he won Best Actor for his portrayal of the artist.
Mike Leigh also directed fellow south east London actor, New Cross' Gary Oldman, in his first film – 1984's Meantime.
Mr Turner explores the last quarter of a century of the great painter's life where he deals with the death of his father, is loved by a housekeeper he takes for granted and exploits sexually and forms a close relationship with a seaside landlady who he eventually lives with in Chelsea.
During the period, he travels, paints, stays with aristocracy, visits brothels and pursues his work with eccentricity – such as having himself strapped to the mast of a shop so he can paint a snowstorm.
Mr Turner is out October 31.

The views from this lakefront cottage are amazing, it has floor to ceiling glass and has an amazing field stone fireplace. It is a true Maine cottage, constructed by Maine Cottage Builders. All beautiful wood inside. It has a large loft for children to play and a family friendly open living area. It is waterfront and has a deck at the water's edge for swimming and later enjoying a drink in the late afternoons watching the sun set. The road into the property is approx 3/4 of a mile long and unpaved, an average car, sport utility or minivan are fine. However, low luxury cars like Mercedes, Cadillacs and Lexus's, are not recommended. If you cancel your reservation and I can rent your week to someone else, rental amount less your deposit will be refunded. If not, you forfeit your entire rental amount. This property does not have an internet connection, it does have a telephone line if you are able to do dial up. There is wi-fi at the local library. Due to the mountains, it has limited cell phone use, we have had luck getting cell phone reception at the deck at the water's edge.
- Suitability:
- children welcome

- pets not allowed
Guestbook comments from the owner
This is what I received from one of our guest:
I meant to email you after our vacation last summer, but got caught up back in my work quickly. I wanted to let you know how impressed we were with your home. We had a wonderful wonderful time, it was just perfect for us. The kids just LOVED the Air Hockey Table. The lake was amazing, and so clean and great for swimming. The fireplace was great. It was private. There were loons. Everything was amazing. My 4 year old son was most impressed with the frogs and toads he was catching and still talking about today …. LOL. You are very lucky to have such a property! Hopefully you will be renting it for a long time to come. ?

1.Women are more skilled in relationships. This gives them a huge advantage when it comes to reading signs of infidelity or hiding their own. As John Gray points out in his bestselling book series "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus," we are naturally more adept and more interested in people and in social interactions; men are more interested in things and in competition. According to Dr.
How To Tell If He Is Second-Date Worthy
I read this quote recently: I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special. ~ Jennifer Aniston I love her, and no offense meant, but how has that butterfly-thing been working for Jen so far?
4 Solutions for a Libido Lull
It's natural in any long term relationship to find lulls in your libidos. There are a lot of possible factors: to busy, to tired, focus on work, stress at home, body image issues and sometimes our libidos go into hibernation for no discernible reason. Of course this is only a problem, well, if it's a problem. It's most difficult when one partner is feeling the lull and the other isn't.
7 Ways To Overcome Mental Obstacles To Self Confidence
Imagine your life as a journey with many crossroads, detours and alternate routes as you head towards your destiny. I truly believe that each one of us is born with a destiny plan and a mission on this earth. As I work with global families, I stress the importance of keeping a mental image of confident success as you struggle to learn the daily tasks of life. As humans travel along the journey of life, it is natural to encounter obstacles and roadblocks. Many of us get "stuck in the mud" and can't figure out what to do, so it is easier to just stay stuck. Developing alternate plans or routes will help get you back on track. The Universe Rewards Positive Movement
Daring Act of Love: Get Grateful for Yourself
Gratitude and appreciation is something that we know is good to give to others – but somehow we forget to give it to ourselves. The closest we get is usually giving thanks for our blessings and the people in our lives, and that is an essential part of creating and living a happy, love filled life.

This guest article from PsychCentral was written by Nathan Feiles, LMSW Is your relationship feeling stagnant recently? Do you feel like you're caught in a routine, ignoring each other, too busy to give time to your relationship, or just simply neglecting your relationship?
Financial Literacy For Kids: Not Just About The Money
Now, more than ever, our kids need to know the value of a dollar (or peso, Euro, or yen). In this time of what many would call the 'age of entitlement', knowing how to earn, save, and yes, how to spend, their money is crucial. It can be an allowance or a job, but there should be something. If you give an allowance, when and how much is up to you.
How To Raise Expectations For Kids & Get Results
What does raising the bar look like for you? What expectations do you have for your children? Setting high expectations is a good thing, as long as the bar isn't out of reach. Some of the students I teach have trouble with organization and keeping track of assignments. Meetings with parents of tweens and guidance sometimes result in a long list of things the child is supposed to accomplish or master.
Are You Dying To Be Happy In The New Year?
One of the regrets of the dying is that they wish they'd allowed themselves to be happier, realizing, finally, that happiness is a choice. I hate to be morbid, but it's something to think about. Life is short. Here are a few things you might consider for more happiness in the New Year.
Family Language
Have you known someone who says, "I'm with my partner because I love her [or him] despite the fact that she's mean [or irresponsible, or gambles compulsively, or whatever]."? The psychological truth is that the person is with the partner not despite this problem, but because of it!

Jerry Brown criticizes UC for Raising new UC Berkeley Chancellor's Pay
University of California regents drew criticism from Gov. Jerry Brown today as they hired Nicholas Dirks to be the next chancellor of UC Berkeley and agreed to pay him a salary $50,000 higher than outgoing chancellor Robert Birgeneau.
"The $50,000 increase above the incumbent, even though that incumbent has not received a pay raise, does not fit within the spirit of servant leadership that I think will be required over the next several years," Brown said during a telephone meeting of UC's governing board of regents.
Brown, who sits on the board but rarely participated in meetings until voters approved his Proposition 30 tax increase this month, voted against Dirks' compensation package which includes:
- An annual salary of $486,800, of which $50,000 will be paid by private donors
- An annual auto allowance of $8,916
- A house on the Berkeley campus
- Moving expenses
- A one-time relocation bonus of $30,425 paid in installments over four years
Brown said UC needs to create a "new paradigm...which is a university that functions at a lower cost ratio than currently is the case."
"I've just come through a campaign where I've pledged the people that I will use their funds judiciously and with real stewardship, with prudence," the governor said, adding that he would continue to press UC "for greater efficiency, greater elegance, modesty."
"We are going to have to restrain this system in many, many of its elements and this will come with great resistance," Brown said.
Regent George Kieffer said the salary was appropriate for the leader of the "number one public university in the world" and ...

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Can't remember what happened 30 years ago? Just For Laughs can help
MONTREAL - Just For Laughs wants to make sure everyone is in on the joke when its 30th anniversary special hits the airwaves.
People tuning in to "Just For Laughs 30th Anniversary: 30/30 Hindsight" can download a special app loaded with fun facts so people aren't left scratching their head when the funny folk start mocking such things as cellphones the size of a brick.
"We've created basically a cheat sheet for viewers," says Bruce Hills, the comedy festival's chief operating officer. The show will be broadcast on CBC-TV on Tuesday.
The festival's not judging — the Internet page where the app can be found just notes that some people may be too young to get the joke right away or were possibly a little too preoccupied with other things, like sleeping through history class, to get the reference.
"If someone's in their teens and they hear a bit about Dan Quayle, they can go to the mobile app and find out who Dan Quayle is," Hills said in an interview. (Quayle was George H.W. Bush's vice-president, by the way.)
"You hit it, you can find out who (Ronald) Reagan is, you can find out what a Walkman was or whatever we're referring to. It's done with a sense of humour."
The comedy festival decided to use the app after trying something similar with a TV special on American politics last year. Hills said it's an example of Just For Laughs trying to offer more to fans while spreading its message across multiple media platforms.
He noted with some satisfaction, for example, that Just For Laughs has more Facebook followers than the high-profile Lollapalooza music event and the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.
Hills admits he finds it a bit mind-boggling when he looks at footage of past festivals and thinks of the stars who have appeared, including John Candy, Jerry Seinfeld and The Muppets.
The two-hour clip show, which is hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, features quips by comics including Chris Rock, Ray Romano, Jon Stewart, Rick Mercer, Wanda Sykes, Lewis Black, Russell Peters, Drew Carey, Denis Leary and Shaun Majumder.
One of the earliest bits is from 1985 featuring a youthful looking Richard Belzer, known to many TV viewers as Det.-Sgt. John Munch on ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.'' There's also a fresh-faced Jimmy Fallon in the mid-1990s. He's just been named to replace Jay Leno as host of ''The Tonight Show.''
There's also a nod at the end to the biggest festival acts.
"Just For Laughs 30th Anniversary: 30/30 Hindsight" differs from the festival's previous anniversary shows, which in some cases were more of a behind-the-scenes look at the festival itself.
Hills said the show provided a unique opportunity to look at the events of the last 30 years through the eyes of some of comedy's top minds rather than just do what amounts to an infomercial on the event or a countdown of some of its most famous alumni.
The themes tackled include Canadian and U.S. politics, racism, the environment, the economy, technology, and gay rights.
"There were just so many subjects where we found such rich material from the comics who came to our festival," Hills said.
He said he was amazed, for example, when he listened to riffs on the first Gulf War and the war in Iraq. Hills said, that if one closed one's eyes, it was hard to tell which war the comedians were talking about.
"For all intents and purposes, there was a Bush involved in both," he said, referring to the conflicts helmed by presidents George H.W. Bush and his son George W. Bush.
Jokes about technology were another eye-opener.
"You've got comedians joking about huge cellphones the size of a shoe box all the way to comics talking about technology in the last 18 months and obviously it's a whole different subject matter."
And if it's a little bit educational, that's OK too.
"There's no better way to look at history sometimes than in a comedic manner by some of the smartest people that you can ask to comment on it," said Hills.

Reforming Mexico's Police
BY Janet Jarman | Mar. 12, 2011 | 6:10
The idealistic mayor of Jalapa, a small town in southern Mexico, is hoping to turn around an outgunned, notoriously corrupt police force by hiring foreign experts.

Why would anyone think Jesus never existed? Isn't it perfectly reasonable to accept that he was a real first century figure? As it turns out: No.
Nailed sheds light on 10 beloved Christian myths, and, with evidence gathered from historians across the theological spectrum, shows how they point to a Jesus Christ created solely through allegorical alchemy of hope and imagination; a messiah transformed from a purely literary, theological construct into the familiar figure of Jesus - in short, a purely mythic Christ.

When commuting to and from work about 2 hours daily, and while doing the more basic functions of my job, a good audiobook provides the pace.
"If only I was willing to make my grandma cry..."
This well-written informative work uses the sources Christians accept to invalidate the sources Christians accept. I want everyone who was ever in the church to listen to this, with their logic glasses on.
What day was the Jesus crucified? The writer that made it into the modern biblical canon can't agree. Also why didn't anyone else see a mob of Jewish zombies?
"better on paper than audio"
While the information is good I can't say it's worth owning as an audiobook. On paper it would be fine because you could go back later and reference it if needed. You can't do that with this kind of information in an audiobook format.
The information in this book is good but it's more laid out as a dissertation and not a simple "here it is" let me tell you a story. The first half of the book is him making references to events, people and places that feels like it needs an appendix (or that he's reading from someone else's) that sadly audio books don't come with. Several times throughout the audio book the author makes reference to a PDF file that accompanies it but I was not given one to download from audible.
Anyone anywhere ever.
While the information in this book is good, David Fritzgerald is not a "performer" like so many others who narrate audible books. He has trouble pronouncing words he wrote in his own book. Several times throughout the performance sentences are read twice over. He reads it like a high school student reading in front of a class and nervous that the other students are going to make fun of him. It is not fluid nor does it float at all. It's an awkward bumbling mess the whole way through. It's hard to follow the "so and so in this century said this, and so and so disputed that in this century" with the author's uneasy reading style. I felt lost for the first half of the book. The information is useful but it wasn't until he got into the actual texts of the bible that one could follow along having something familiar to ground the text to.
the information in this book is good but you're better off having a hard copy to refer back to when necessary. Unless you have a photographic memory this is nothing more than a "hey that was good to know". This isn't really the kind of book you listen to, it's one you have in hand and highlight with markers as you go.
I enjoyed the book but not in an audio format. I'm going to have to buy the book in print so I can pick up the points the author failed to convey properly in his own reading.
"this will make you think"
this book talk about is jesus real. iv wonder if the story we been told is the real story and the more i lean the more i want to learn this book fix in that same idea. it has some power inseit into the Jesus
"Fitzgearld NAILS it!"
Fantastic book aimed at the layman ... very easy to follow and a useful tool to understand the historicity of the man who never was...A must buy.
Aberdeen Atheists

Well done David...you are a true scholar.
"What counts as evidence in the religious world?"
Yes I would - in fact I'm about to listen to it again. Having come from a religious background, I've always known that what purports to be evidence from that standpoint is often just faith promoting rumour. And that's all. It was nice to see these herded into a book that addresses the non existence of virtually everything in the New Testament.
There was no let up - I thought we would get a part that indicated that there was at least a little evidence, all be it suppositional or circumstantial, but no! No evidence at all. Nice work!
I have listened to another of David Fitzgerald's books not read by him, but the performance was of a similar nature. There are other reviews of this book that do not rate his performance of his own work, but I found this not to be the case. His presentation style was listenable, understandable and enjoyable. It helped that the content was good too.
I don't have the sort of time to listen to a whole book at once, but I would do with this if I had say a long journey to complete. It was easy to listen to.
Looking forward to more from this author.

'Land Peal' Modular Floor Mat Bends And Folds To The Furniture You Need
Lifestyle 21 Views
Hidden within this floor mat, which in fact isn't a floor mat at all, are a number of useful furniture like objects. Called the 'land peal', it has a desk, chair, side table and more. Alternatively, the folds or hinges can be manipulated and turned into back or leg rests. It seems to be a concept only, but I wouldn't be shocked if we saw these show up inside the door rooms of design schools and other forward thinking institutions that are tight on space.

Wall Street crooks crushed the economy, so "Why isn't anyone in jail?" Matt Taibbi asks....
Wall Street crooks crushed the economy, so "Why isn't anyone in jail?" Matt Taibbi asks. Financial crimes are the worst kind, he says, "crimes of intellectual choice, made by people who are already rich and who have every conceivable social advantage, acting on a simple, cynical calculation: Let's steal whatever we can, then dare the victims to find the juice to reclaim their money through a captive bureaucracy."

There need to be better laws.
Did they have the interest of the American public at heart by buying those mortgage loans from the original lenders, thereby removing all incentive to make good loans?
Why would you expect a CEO of a corporation that is privately held and has offices all over the world, to "act in the best interest of the American public" ? When did that become the job description of a CEO?
When they have access to the American coffers at reduced interest rates, then yes, they have a responsibility to act in the best interest of, or at least NOT to the detriment of, the American public.
By "privately held" I meant "not government held". I didn't mean privately traded.
> In what way were shareholders defrauded?
"Lehman Brothers hid billions in loans from its investors. Bank of America lied about billions in bonuses. Goldman Sachs failed to tell clients how it put together the born-to-lose toxic mortgage deals it was selling. What's more, many of these companies had corporate chieftains whose actions cost investors billions — from AIG derivatives chief Joe Cassano, who assured investors they would not lose even "one dollar" just months before his unit imploded, to the $263 million in compensation that former Lehman chief Dick "The Gorilla" Fuld conveniently failed to disclose."
Right, yes, but that wasn't what we were talking about. You said "They have a duty to the American public". I said "Why?". You said "But they defrauded shareholders!"
> your idea that they owe a duty to the American public is silly
Your correct that a CEO doesn't have a stated goal of acting in the best interest of the USA.
I agree with everything you wrote but you, like the article, speak in huge generalities - they must have stolen or lied, look at all the destruction they caused!
You are right. Most of those at the helm in the time before the crisis are guilty of one thing- being too optimistic. If my years on earth have taught me anything, it is that if things go well enough for a while, most people just lose all sense of proportion, no matter how good their intentions.
I agree with bmcpic. I don't think the guys who did this were criminals - they were short sighted, greedy and stupid.
D_Virginia and bmcpic –
I read the article. I'm not convinced.
What do you say the guy from AIG is if not a crook?
Actually, insurance companies do this all the time - its standard practice. Most insurance companies have way more policies in effect than assets in reserve. The minimum for most State regulators is 12% - that is, you need 12% in assets for each dollar of policy liability you write. It would be impossible for an insurance corporation to make money if they were required to hold a 1-for-1 correlation between assets and potential claims.
I believe that if you research you'll find its been proven that the London division of AIG did not have any assets to back up the paper they were writing. The rest of AIG had assets that were within regulatory limits for their insurance businesses in each state.
good writeup bmpic! Nobody went to jail for peddling junk dot com stocks in '99/2000 either.
> The reason I post this is because it is a very slippery slope to start
> punishing people for doing a bad job.
"Whether caused by self-interest or simple incompetence, when someone does such a bad job that other people suffer, in most scenarios they are charged with criminal negligence.
> Once a society starts jailing on the result, rather than the action,
> they become a tyranny.
There was widespread breach of 1) fiduciary duty to shareholders and 2) fraud in relation to disclosures to debt holders.
Ken Hasner has it right. There was fraud on a massive scale in real estate/S&L. There were grossly inflated appraisals and greasy characters like Charles Keating and the politicians he bribed (oh, excuse, exercised his 1st amendment right to contribute). But the end game did result in some jail terms, and the RTC did a pretty good job of cleaning up the mess. I doubt the lesson was learned and agree that the regulators and the AG failed and continue to fail. Some of the smelly transactions are being unwound in civil court, but consider that Angelo Mozillo's settlement is a fraction of his annual compensation and may well be paid by insurance.
The banker knew perfectly well that securitization was a scheme in which they could turn manure into gold. Moreover the credit agencies went along for the fees.
They were very aware of this alchemy , and exploited it to the limit. They were also stupid enough to keep these securities on their books.
> borrowers who submitted false financial information on mortgage
> applications remain free of prosecution
@D_Virginia, I don't think people who speculated on housing have been appropriately punished.
Your position is ridiculous for the simple reason that the ponzi lending scheme and the ability to get those loans, was permitted by the banks on purpose. You don't actually think those banks were victims do you? Allstate doesn't think they are victims: www.zerohedge.com/arti...
They aren't suing much I don't think. How can you sue someone who had his entire wealth tied up in a house? You can sue but you can't collect a significant amount. Even if you garnish income, it is a drop in a bucket. And a lot of these people are unemployed and moved back home with their parents.
It wasn't banks.. it was the clients that were victims.
THESE financial crimes were committed by the advantaged elite. Plenty get carried out by those on the other end of things. ACORN-esque taxpayer fund rip-offs come to mind.
What we are seeing now is not really the continuation of that reverence, but rater its end, as what was "business as usual" (however illegal) is finally noticed with revulsion. History tell us that Serious re-criminalization will not be far behind. SOMEone will go to jail .
Government forced banks to make BAD LOANS.
This was not a free choice of the American people...
The government forced /some/ banks to make higher risk loans.
@Paine - that is horse doo doo. Bankers did what they thought would make them most money. Short treasuries/Long AAA rated Junk and lever it up 30 times.
It's simple. No one went to jail because no crimes were committed. Taibbi's "crimes of intellectual choice" is utter nonsense.
I will tell you why not one of these people is jailed. They are rich and they donate monies to the people that are looking into their actions. How does the federal government use our monies to bail out the banks and then in return let the banks continue to screw joe public to make more money. THEY DONATE money to the parties that they keep in office. These politicians talk big but at the end of the day they take care of those who take care of them and its not us joe public, its the fat cat bankers.
One problem is that illegality is at the heart of our financial system. We give legal sanction to the Federal Reserve to counterfeit. And we give legal sanction to the banks to commit fraud, otherwise known as fractional reserve lending. They have thus been given great privilege without a corresponding legal responsibility to balance it. It might be justified to lend fraudulently for productive purposes, but housing is consumption. It produces no wealth.
"As it stands now, we are in the position of fulfilling Einstein's definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. The same people are running our financial system with the same incentives and privileges in place. Can we expect a different outcome?"

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/24/13 -- Appcelerator®, the leading mobile development platform, and SOASTA, the leader in cloud and mobile testing, today announced a new integration between Appcelerator Titanium 3.0 and SOASTA's TouchTest mobile test automation solution and a distribution agreement between the two companies.
This integration allows mobile developers at Appcelerator's 1,400 enterprise customers to access TouchTest for continuous automated testing as part of the mobile application development lifecycle. Test automation is a mandatory requirement for mobile app development, and TouchTest delivers the speed, precision and affordability required by mobile development teams to scale their development practices that demand a continuous release process.
TouchTest is the first enterprise test automation solution to support Appcelerator's Titanium 3.0. The integrated solution provides a cost-effective, rapid and continuous product development lifecycle for mobile developers.
"We've adopted mobility as a key enabler to providing productivity enhancing technologies to our nationwide network of contractors and inspectors, in addition to delivering superior quality to our clients," said George Mehok, Chief Information Officer of Safeguard Properties, the largest mortgage field services company in the U.S. "As an innovator in mobility, we're actively implementing the integrated solution between Appcelerator Titanium and SOASTA TouchTest to further optimize the quality of our apps, reduce development cycle time, and accelerate adoption."
The new distribution agreement between Appcelerator and SOASTA enables Appcelerator customers to easily add TouchTest to their mobile development environment. Combining TouchTest with Titanium provides an integrated mobile development and testing environment, and accelerates time to success.
"Mobile is driving much shorter release cycles for application development," said Jeff Haynie, Appcelerator CEO. "SOASTA's TouchTest integration with Appcelerator Titanium 3.0 enables our customers to meet their time-to-market demands while improving overall application quality."
As enterprises and developers build mobile applications for a variety of devices and operating systems, they can now rely on TouchTest to simplify the testing process, utilizing SOASTA's patented visual test environment, precision capture and re-play technology. Apps are now continuously "testable," thoroughly validated and fully supported through the development lifecycle by leveraging TouchTest's embedded Jenkins plugin for 100% hands-free mobile test automation.
"The mobile application lifecycle presents the opportunity for enterprises to re-think their approach to software development," said Tom Lounibos, SOASTA CEO. "Appcelerator and SOASTA recognized this, and have combined our best-of-class solutions to present mobile development teams with the fastest, most complete development platform to support continuous testing of mobile applications."

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless.

Indianapolis 500 winner Ryan Hunter-Reay's son is getting a second pint-sized 'magic suit'
Posted on: June 3, 2014 | Comments(2) | #TrackChat |
Ryden Hunter-Reay isn't one to wear the same thing two weeks in a row in The Big Apple.
Dressed in a pint-sized replica of the yellow fire suit his dad, Ryan Hunter-Reay, wore when he won the Indianapolis 500, 1-year-old Ryden accompanied his parents as they traveled across Manhattan last week, making appearances and melting hearts on "Today," at the New York Stock Exchange and more.
Then, after a difficult weekend of racing at the Chevrolet Indy Dual in Detroit presented by Quicken Loans, the family returned to New York on June 2. This time, an appearance on the "Late Show With David Letterman" was on the agenda, as was a trip to the premiere of "The Fault in our Stars" feature film a few blocks from the Ed Sullivan Theater where Letterman's show is taped. But the popular firesuit was out of sight. Instead, the toddler was styling in mom Beccy Hunter-Reay's arms in a pair of white jeans and a plaid shirt.
But don't think the child's popular Verizon IndyCar Series look is shelved forever.
Seems it made such an impression that there have been discussions about creating onesies with the design, said Beccy.
"It's not a bad idea," she said. "Maybe we need to create little onesie fire suit pajamas or something."
As it is, there's another firesuit for Ryden on order from OMP, an Italian racing safety equipment and gear maker. Ryan asked for the first one months ago when he signed a deal with the company and it arrived in Indianapolis on May 24, the day before he won the Indianapolis 500. It fit the growing child like a glove.
"He literally cannot gain a pound, an ounce or grow an inch," said Beccy, adding that the new suit will be big enough to last the child for the rest of the 2014 season.
That's a good thing because the suit is as important to Ryden as it is to his public.
Because Ryan and Beccy refer to Ryan's suit as "the magic suit," Ryden seems to think it has special powers. So he was thrilled when he received his look-a-like.
"He thought he was a super hero," said Beccy. "He couldn't figure it out. He just kept staring like, 'what is going on right now?' He was in heaven."
The fact that the tiny firesuit has turned into an effective marketing tool is completely unintentional, said Beccy.
"We just love our little guy so much and it was so cute," she said. "We call Ryan's suit 'the magic suit' so whenever da-da has 'the magic suit' on, Ryden goes nuts."
Maybe it is magic. That same thing happens to almost everyone else when Ryden wears his version.

By email@example.com on January 11, 2013
I was recently invited to sign on as a Vegan Expert on Wizpert. Never heard of it? I hadn't either, so I did some checking. Wizpert is a place where you can instantly chat with "experts" on just about any topic you can think of. As I write this, experts are available, this very moment, in the categories of health and fitness, technology, leisure, learning, home and garden, business, and life. The experts come and go on their own schedules, so you never know who you'll find when you log in. All chatting is done via Skype Chat (not visual Skype), so you don't have to do your hair and makeup just to ask a question or two. You simply click on the expert you want to talk to, and in seconds you're connected by Skype and can start asking advice from someone who (probably) knows what they're talking about. Most of the service is free, but once an expert has enough time and good reviews in, they can start charging for their time. It seems pretty great from all sides, as far as I can tell.
How expert are the experts? There's no way to tell. Take me for example. I'm not a certified anything, but I probably know more than a lot of people about vegan cooking and nutrition. I can certainly answer the usual key questions, and steer you in the right direction if I don't know something you want to know. Check out the experts you want to talk to. Read their profiles and blogs and websites, and check the facts when they give you advice. I think Wizpert is a great starting point, and my first advice is to use it as that.
I've signed up and created a profile page, and try to make myself available whenever I'm at the computer anyway. If you'd like to chat with me, I'd love to hear from you. You'll find me on Wizpert under Health and Fitness / Nutrition / Vegan. You can also shortcut directly to me via this link. I'm happy to help you if I can, and so are lots of other people.

Waiting: The True Confessions of a Waitress (Paperback)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
A veteran waitress dishes up a spicy and robust account of life as it really exists behind kitchen doors.
Part memoir, part social commentary, part guide to how to behave when dining out, Debra Ginsberg's book takes readers on her twentyyear journey as a waitress at a soap-operatic Italian restaurant, an exclusive five-star dining club, the dingiest of diners, and more. While chronicling her evolution as a writer, Ginsberg takes a behind-the-scenes look at restaurant life-revealing that yes, when pushed, a server will spit in food, and, no, that's not really decaf you're getting-and how most people in this business are in a constant state of waiting to do something else.
About the Author
Debra Ginsberg is the author of Waiting: The True Confessions of a Waitress and Raising Blaze: Bringing Up an Extraordinary Son in an Ordinary World. A graduate of Reed College, she is a contributor to NPR's All Things Considered and the San Diego Union-Tribune "Books" section.

Incognito advises on the benefits of outsourcing in the analytical laboratory. What could an external partnership mean for
your laboratory?
If you don't have the correct equipment to provide the information for your client, it is a reasonably straightforward decision
to work with external partners, either within your organization but geographically remote, or outside. The next step is to
identify the partner to work with, which can be fraught, and will usually involve your outsourcing or procurement department,
recommendations from colleagues, a call to your usual outsourced provider, or, worst of all, a google search.
In the present case, where you have the knowledge but not the equipment inhouse, it can be more straightforward. You know
what you want and can, to some extent, work with the external provider to ensure the data they will be sending you is fitforpurpose.
You can then take this data and turn it into information for your client.
However, what about when you don't know what is required to generate the data or information required by your client? Perhaps
the best lead you have is an application note or journal article. In a case like this you need to be very diligent in finding
a partner who has the knowledge, skills, and equipment to generate data which is fit-forpurpose. Here I apply the following
logic — if this is the first time through for the partner laboratory, then you need to find a different partner laboratory.
If the partner laboratory asks you for a method, this suggests that they haven't performed that type of analysis previously,
and therefore may not be so "expert". Choose a partner who you are confident will provide you with information rather than
data — it's worth repeating this point because inference in analytical science is often as important as the absolute nature
of the data. The fact that an impurity exists in the sample but that it's insignificant in toxicological terms or in terms
of the synthetic route, for example, is worth knowing.
I have always found that the larger contract organizations are excellent for larger (higher throughput) bodies of work, but
if you need more specialist work done, then don't be afraid to go small. In my experience, and for many different reasons,
the economies of scale don't always wind up with the finest minds working with the finest equipment in the largest organizations.
There are many good people working with smaller outsourcing organizations, and over many years I've built up a little black
book of folks who I know will deliver certain types of analysis in the very best fashion.
The general concept of outsourcing your outsourcing can work well and save you a lot of time. There are a couple of good services
of this type who simply know who to go to for certain types of analysis — a kind of Yellow Pages but with a really experienced
editor! I called them a couple of weeks ago and asked who was the best flavour analysis house in the country. They put me
in touch with someone right away — and I have to say if there is a better flavour analysis service available I would be surprised!
The provider had already completed a very thorough audit of the laboratory which meant I only had to produce a very short
audit verification document.

Irrational fears, or phobias, are commonplace but seldom addressed. The sheer expression of them creates added anxiety. To overcome a phobia, it must first be acknowledged. With this in mind, I'm taking the first step in my quest for mental health.
To be exact, it is with dread that I relieve myself in a urinal. I do not think I am alone in this fear, although I have had only one patient in 27 years of counseling present this problem. He was indeed a brave soul.
I am hoping that my disclosure will open the floodgates of discourse about urinal phobia. Perhaps a self-help group entitled Urinalphobics Anonymous (UA) will emerge. Thousands--if not millions--of men may be afflicted by this silent illness. It puts an inordinate strain on the existing toilet facilities, and the lines are beginning to back up.
There is something very intimidating about relieving oneself while standing next to another individual. Urinals are typically placed too close together for any sense of privacy to exist. The distance between two is less than an arm's length. Water seems to be splashing everywhere. Public restrooms should dispense umbrellas and galoshes along with deodorant and condoms.
