Mama Leone by Miljenko Jergović, translated from the Croatian by David Williams and published by Archipelago Books
This piece is by Québec translator Peter McCambridge, who also runs a blog about translating literature from Québec.
When Mama Leone wins the Best Translated Book Award, it will be a triumph of storytelling and atmosphere-building, a victory for stories well told (and well translated) everywhere. The writing is on the face of it simple at times, but just enough off kilter that it still manages to suck us in and take our breath away.
Take the first few paragraphs of the first story, You're the angel:
When I was born a dog started barking in the hall of the maternity ward. Dr. Srecko ripped the mask from his face, tore out of the delivery suite, and said to hell with the country where kids are born at the pound! I still didn't understand at that point, so I filled my lungs with a deep breath and for the first time in my life confronted a paradox: though I didn't have others to compare it to, the world where I'd appeared was terrifying, but something forced me to breathe, to bind myself to it in a way I never managed to bind myself to any woman.
And breathe. Wow. There we are, sucked right into the story, right into this terrifying new world, bound tightly to it from the get-go, and somehow forced to breathe and accept it, swept along by the narrative. It's so simple, and yet somehow magnificent.
Mama Leone is a collection of stories in two parts. The first half is about childhood and told in a voice so original and so authentic that it's hard to resist. Don't stare, Miljenko is told. Quit eavesdropping. Life's not a circus. And yet we explore his world with our eyes wide open, with our ears pricked. Everything is huge, larger than life. Sarajevo is "a gigantic city, the most gigantic in the world," his loneliness is "the biggest in the world," a character laughs "like a giant out of a fairy tale." Bedtime, trips to the potty, plans to run away from home, eating sardines, all become dramas of epic proportions ("cities silently crumbled in my pounding heart").
The effect is grandiose. Scenes from a childhood, more realistic than abstract, but high on poetry all the same, add up to a beautiful tableau that somehow seems all the more real for its helter-skelter, kaleidoscopic vision of the world.
The language is exhilarating. Sentences career along between commas, the vocabulary a tremendous mix of slang, poetry, and more than the odd memorable one-liner.
The result is stunning and beautiful and real, all with an undercurrent of death and war and increasing sadness.
And then suddenly our perspective shifts to the third person. It is a grown-up's world, the world of Deda, Boris, Marina, Nana, and the others. A world of love, longing, and loss, of darkness and war and damage. There are still angels but now they are drunken. Words that in the first section "flowed in cascades, gushing over the edges of the world being born" now "disappear into dark spaces." People "become destroyed cities to each other," although there are still the occasional roses in the sky in place of stars.
The words that so enchanted us in the first part are now "sometimes uglier than what they mean." But, as with all the best stories, there is beauty in the loss and the missed opportunities. And no end of beauty in the writing.
The opening of Jón Gnarr's novel/memoir The Indian is a playful bit of extravagant ego, telling the traditional story of creation, where the "Let there be light!" moment is also the moment of his birth on January 2nd, 1967. Then. . .
Mahasweta Devi is not only one of the most prolific Bengali authors, but she's also an important activist. In fact, for Devi, the two seem to go together. As you can probably tell from the titles, she writes about women. . .
The prolific Spanish author Benito Pérez Galdós wrote his short novel, Tristana, during the closing years of the nineteenth century, a time when very few options were available to women of limited financial means who did not want a husband.. . .
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .

Training? We Don't Need No Stinking Training!
Oh, it's all so intuitive. Who needs training? Well, judging by the numbers of people who get hacked, probably quite a few. But, the survey says only 32 percent of respondents have ever had any training on computer security and protecting their personal information. Among the consumer population, that number was a mere 10 percent. That noise is a muffled cheer from the black hat hacker community.

China's sovereign wealth fund is poised to put some of its nearly $600 billion in assets to work at European hedge funds.
China Investment Corp. absolute return managing director Roslyn Zhang told the SALT conference in Singapore that it is "getting closer to the point of taking action" after two years investigating the space.
"From the intelligence we gathered from managers, we had been lacking in confidence to pull the trigger," she said. CIC has been focusing on distressed investments, but hasn't yet identified which strategy it will seek in Europe.
Once it does, it will create a list of 10 established managers, eventually cutting that roster to between three and five.
CIC has been investing with hedge funds for four years, and Zhang said that SWF's experience "has been very positive." But she said it needed two years' lead-time before making an investment, because "the investment process itself will require six to nine months, and also the nature of hedge fund investments is that you can't really turn over your portfolio that quickly."

Liverpool and Everton have also been linked with Porto midfielder Fernando. How has he suddenly become a lot easier to snap up?
This summer saw FC Porto midfielder Fernando, known as The Octupus, linked with several moves away from Portugal - with Everton the team said to be nearest to snapping him up.
In fact the deal to join Everton became very close, with Roberto Martinez even said to have travelled down to London in an attempt to secure the player a Work Permit - that was unsuccessful.
Then Manchester United reportedly harboured an interest in the player according to several reports earlier this month.
But the fact remains, that as a Brazilian national with zero caps at senior level, the chances of him getting a work permit are practically nil.
But what if he didn't need one?
A couple of months ago the talented box-to-box midfielder confirmed his intention to receive his Portuguese citizenship. He maintained at the time that this was not simply to play for Portugal - but that he felt Portuguese as well as Brazilian.
Fernando has been living in Portugal for seven years now, and despite being a member of the Brazilian Under-20 team that won the 2007 South American Youth title he is said to be considering switching allegiance.
Now that has been ratified and Fernando is indeed a Portuguese citizen - as he confirmed on his official Facebook page.
"Finally arrived!
With much pride ... Officially PORTUGUESE"
But while United fans will probably not care less which nation he plays for - getting him to Old Trafford has now become much easier as a consequence.
He no longer needs a Work Permit - as he is now a citizen of an EU state he is free to work in any other EU country whenever he wishes, meaning no trips to the Home Office for Moyes if he really wanted him.
SEE ALSO: Former Manchester United starlet with two late goals in 3-0 down Bundesliga comeback
And why not?
His contract expires at the end of the season and he does both the good, the bad and the ugly in central midfield - he is just the player United need.
Do you think Fernando would be a good signing for Manchester United?

"Well yeah, I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid." - Butters

Hosta 'New Hybrids'
NEW HYBRIDS Hosta Seeds
A wonderful mix of handsome varieties, growing from 12 to 30 inches tall. Some plants will produce blue or green leaves, others will be gold or variegated. Leaf shape will be narrow, broad or wavy and leaf textures will be shiny, smooth or puckered. Thin spikes of blue or white trumpet-shaped flowers are produced in summer. Winter hardy to zone 4.
How to Plant HOSTA Seeds
Sow seeds in cell packs or 2 inch pots, press into soil, barely cover. Kept at 60° F., germination usually occurs within 4-5 weeks. If not, put container inside a zip-lock bag and refrigerate for 4 weeks. Return to
60° F. until germination occurs.See Starting Seeds for more information.
Comments: Part to full shade. Rich soil, regular feeding and water. Tolerates wet soils. Winter
dormant, cut plants down to the ground in fall. Plants remain vigorous without division, becoming more beautiful as they age. Can further propagate by lifting plantlets at the edge of a clump. Protect leaves
from slugs and snails. Flowers attract bees and hummingbirds.

I have an 01 Cadillac Seville STS. In my dash there are three 2 inch tweeters. The front doors each have an 8 in sub. The rear doors have 6 in speakers. The rear deck has a 12 in sub.
Dash speakers measure 3.5 ohms
Front door subs measure .5 ohms
Rear doors measure 3.5 ohms
Rear deck sub measured 0 ohms
Unless my meter was acting up which I doubt these are the correct ohm ratings for these speakers/subs.
The dash speakers are in sort of a vented housing which makes it appear bigger and weirdly shaped.
The front door speakers are in sort of a bracket that doesn't really make the speaker appear any bigger.
The rear door speakers were not in any bracket but the plastic panel behind the speaker was in the way of my new speakers and o had to break it to fit them in. Im gonna cut the rest out and use dynomat to reseal it back off.
The rear deck is more obvious without taking anything apart. No bracket or anything that I remember.
I hope this helps some of you. I wish I would of had better directions before I started.
Re: Speaker Fit Guide Please Check & Ask Fitment ?s HERE ONLY!!!
Hello. I bought a 92 Brougham with a standard factory cassette head unit, a dead CDM (amp/tuner), and Polk speakers. I eventually replaced the bad CDM with a working unit, swapped out the cassette/only Head Unit with a Cassette/CD one which I believe is from a later model De Ville/DTS (this head unit is identical to the one offered in the Brougham with the exepinoin being that the five preset EQ buttons labled "A B C D E" are absent, with 2- slider controls, one for bas and the other for Treble. I also replaced the the disitigreated Polk 4x6 fronts with a pair of salvaged Delco ones, as the polks in the rear semed undamaged I left them in. Everything wouked well for a couple of months but now ione of the rear polk 4X9's is dying.
My problem is that I have seveal 6x9 Delco speakers but some are 10-ohm and the others are 4-ohm.
Any advice on which ohm ratting was original in the 92 Brougham? My GM shop manual only gives ohm values for the front speakers, which were offered in 2- different configurations on the 91/92 Brougham and referes to the rear speakers, (set up the same way in both the the base 4 speaker and optional 6 speaker) by 6X9s size.
Do you know it if it was was 10 or 4 ohms rear speakers, that were originally installed at the factory?

Re: Speaker Fit Guide Please Check & Ask Fitment ?s HERE ONLY!!!
on an '01 Deville center channel is that one 3.5"?
Re: Speaker Fit Guide Please Check & Ask Fitment ?s HERE ONLY!!!
Question regarding speaker replacement for my 1998 Deville with the stock radio and currently stock speakers. (This is the non Bose system)
I understand that I have the following speaker set up:
Center Channel 4x6
Front Doors 5.25
Front Door Panel 2 Inch
Rear Door 5.25
Rear Door Panel 2 Inch
Rear Self 6x9
The front dash center speaker and the rear deck lid speaker are one speaker and the rest are in pairs (if I understand that correctly). My question is what would be some good upgrade options to replace the factory ones? I am not messing around with the factory head unit but I would like to upgrade the speakers. I tend to lean toward Polk Audio and Infinity but looking for some input. Are there any Ohms issues to worry about or any other items that may be an issue?
Re: Speaker Fit Guide Please Check & Ask Fitment ?s HERE ONLY!!!
Fifth generation Seville w/Bose owners, if you're looking to get rid of the 8" Bose midbass in the front doors, this speaker adapter will adapt into a 6.5" speaker for $12

Re: Speaker Fit Guide Please Check & Ask Fitment ?s HERE ONLY!!!
I am trying to replace my Bose speakers (front door and rear door) on my 2004 DeVille DHS. Can't get any accurate info. I have read and searched repeatedly throughout this forum. Maybe I'm missing something? Questions:
1) Is the Bose speaker 2 ohm or 1 ohm?
2) Is the the front speaker 5 1/4 or 6 1/2? What is the rear door speakers?

Hi All Java 1.4 plug-in I would like to know the difference between "Browser" and "Plugin" settings for the "cache_option" parameter.
The following is from Sun Documentation. > Browser >Run applets from the browser cache (default). > Plugin >Run applets from the new Java Plug-in cache.
I could see both options caching into /.jpi_cache folder by default (or as specified in control panel - plugin settings).
If anyone is having some idea about this, please update me.

Louisiana Flag-Maker Doubles Its Workforce
Just in time for the Independence Day holiday, a Bogalusa facility that manufactures US flags announced that it will double its workforce.
Workers at Allied Materials & Equipment make the field of 50 stars for the flags, which are assembled at another facility in Missouri and sold to federal agencies.
According to the governor's office, the company received an incentive package from the state, including an Enterprise Zone tax exemption.
Allied's Bogalusa facility can produce up to 13,000 fields of stars per week.

Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems, including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart and lungs.
Treatment for lupus depends on your signs and symptoms.
Plasmoquin (Chloroquine) is an antimalarial drug. Although there's no known relationship between lupus and malaria, these medications have proved useful in treating signs and symptoms of lupus. Antimalarials may also prevent flares of the disease.

Dear Comrade,
We may possibly take advantage of the trip, but we must first think it over and find out to what extent he is trust worthy generally and also as regards orderliness and secrecy techniques. To ask Grimm is rather awkward. Let me know your opinion and whether you can find out anything about him in Zurich (discreetly). I can send you the pamphlet on imperialism. I have no idea about the "meeting" (Gr.+Radek+??). Find out everything you can in greatest detail and let me know.
I shall send you the article for Volksrecht,[1] too, as soon as I hear that Nobs is back in Zurich. Nobs wrote me that he had gone away for Ferien[2] not far from me and wanted to let me know, but fell silent. I don't know where he is. Do you?
I am sending Ausland-Politik containing Semkovsky's article.
Were there articles of Radek's against Entwaffnung[3] in Volksrecht? If there were, could you send them to me? Who told you that I was to be in Zurich on Sunday?? This is most piquant, who could say such a thing!!
Could you obtain in Zurich the Polish and Bundist War saw newspapers containing information (detailed information by districts) about the elections in Warsaw? It is very interesting! I wrote Bronski, but he is silent. All the best, and my regards to your wife and your little girl.
P.S. You have not answered Nadya's request about Neues Leben. If you are too busy, couldn't Usiyevich find out? Or is he particularly busy these days?

If you don't wake up every morning loving your life, your doing it wrong....
Hi! Im Lina (pronounced Lynn-a). I am a designer and project manager for a residential new construction company in Chagrin Falls. I love my job and the people I work with. My company is very small (9 people and mostly men) so there is plenty of work to go around resulting in very long work weeks for me. I recently just purchased my first home, and am working on making it my own. I used to dance ballet professionally and now I do it just for fun along with some freelance choreography. I love to be active and working out. I recently started boxing. I love learning new things, currently learning to play the banjo! I also love animals...I have a mini farm of my own going on at my house (the house and property I purchased is an old century home that was once a farm, and has a barn). I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 5 chickens, 2 lizards and a fish... Ok if you are still reading after the description of my zoo...congratulations you have made it further than most! Ok enough about me, if you want to know more email me. What Im looking for....I am looking for someone who can keep up with me, make me laugh, make me feel special and let me be me so to speak. Its important to me that I find someone who loves me for me... I am looking for someone loyal, nurturing, out going, active and someone who loves life. I love my life and my family and wouldn't change a thing, the only think missing is someone to share it with.

This is a VXML/TellMe.com book looker-upper. I have an innate ability to walk into a book, CD or DVD store, and completely forget every book, CD and DVD I own. I thought it would be cool to put them in a database, and be able to call into to TellMe with my cellphone, and find out if I already own it or not. So I wrote this. It only does books at the moment, but someday (real soon now) it'll handle the CDs and DVDs, too. It's a good simple demonstration of using VXML, CGI, and DBI.
To give it a try, call 1-800-555-TELL (8355), at the main menu say 'Extensions' or press 1. At the extensions menu, say 'five four five two nine' or press 5-4-5-2-9 (the letters spell K4JCW, my amateur callsign). The program should be able to step you through the rest. A known ISBN you can try is '0345260716' (Have Space Suit, Will Travel)
Like all Twitching Monk Software, there's a limited warranty. It's limited to assuring you that it won't get a cold beer from the 'fridge without your help, and if you drink too much, you'll fall down.
If you don't like the way I wrote something, fix it. I wrote it, I like it, I use it, it works for, see figure one.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w # # This is an example of writing a VXML application for TellMe.com in +Perl. # I wrote this because when I walk into a book, CD or DVD store, I # immediately forget what I own. Using my cell phone, I can call int +o # 1-800-555-TELL, select the book database, enter the ISBN number, an +d know # if I own it or not. I've built in some infra-structure for the CD +and # DVD portion, but at the moment it only returns a 'Not implemented # message'. I'll prolly add this as I go on. # # To use it, you'll first need an account at www.TellMe.com. It's fr +ee, so # you should go get one now. As far as setting up the TellMe side, i +t's # pretty straight forward, and I don't want to explain it here, since + they # may change it. Next, put the script in your favorite directory. I + put # mine in /vxml off my docroot, and name it according to the extensio +n it # will be assigned to from TellMe.com. Since I have multiple extensi +ons, it # makes it easy to keep track of what scripts are associated with wha +t # extensions. # # You'll need to create a database (I use mySQL) with the structure t +hat's # at the __END__ section. It's a direct mysqldump of my Media datab +ase. # Set the variables below to the host, database name, etc. Security +says # you should make sure that the user you allow to access the database + only # has SELECT privledges. If someone manages to dump your script sour +ce, you # don't want a DB writable password being exposed. Don't forget to p +ut a # index.html file in the directory also, so it's not browsable. # # Odds & ends: Some ISBN numbers have an 'X' in the 10th position. S +ince a # DTMF pad doesn't have 'X', we use '9'. If the script sees a '9' in + the # 10th position it will check for both an entry ending in '9' and in +'X'. # If it finds both (and you'd be way out beyond the statistical norm +if you # did), it will read back both titles. The help could no doubt be cl +earer, # but since only trained users are using it, you get what I needed as + a # reminder. # # Requires the following modules: # CGI # DBI # # Copyright 2001(c) J.C.Wren firstname.lastname@example.com # A production of Twitching Monk Software # No rights reserved, use as you see fit.

Good, but does have a distinct 'pea taste'
3 个顾客认为以下的评论有帮助
Umbridge发表于 May 28, 2010
This is nice - not too sweet, not too overpowering with the flavour, but I find that when I use a whole scoop I can really taste the flavour. Instead, I have been using half a scoop in my smoothies, oatmeal, etc. and that seems to keep the flavour from being overpowering. Of all the vegan protein powders I have tried though, this is definitely in the top 5.

I bought this product because Olympian labs appear to put a lot of research into their products& this was one of the few natural protein powders to list a BV value. I feel I'm getting a good amount of protein from this& it tastes delicious! One point that concerned me was that on the label it states the powder has a chemical known to cause birth defects. I spoke to Olympian labs & they said this is because of Californian law states that anything from the ground must state on the label that it can contain traces of lead. The amount in the powder though is negligible& not a cause for concern.

Tastes like peas

This is a funny protein powder; cause it kinda tastes like, well, peas. But not in a bad way. The "pea" factor is easily disguised by fruit, agave or almond butter ... I use this becuase I and whey/wheat/soy intolerant. Very high protein factor.

I previously used whey, but gradually developed a mild intolerance to it, so I switched to rice protein. I found a great tasting brand, but rice protein is always grainy in texture and somewhat hard to mix, plus the price went up so I decided to try pea protein. The consistency is excellent, smooth and fluffy, very easy to mix, at least with water. It's also more bioavailable than rice protein. It is mildly sweet because of the xylitol and stevia; certainly not too sweet by any measure! The taste was perhaps the only weakness of the product; it definitely tastes like ground peas, but the vanilla adds a nice touch and I'm sure I'll get used to the flavor eventually.

Manisha Koirala diagnosed with cancer
Published by:
Published on: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 at 10:45 IST
Currently, she is in hospital as she has been advised to remain under observation by the doctors. Her mother Sushma is already by her side and soon her father Prakash and her brother Siddhartha would join her in this difficult time.
Previously, Manisha complained of illness (food-poisoning) at twitter while she was in Nepal at her new abode.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Governors and state economic development officials are sharing tips and strategies for how to attract businesses and create jobs.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam noted at a National Governors Association meeting in Nashville on Monday that it's a "very, very competitive world" when it comes to recruiting investors, both domestically and globally.
Haslam was joined at the conference by Govs. Dave Heineman of Nebraska, Haley Barbour of Mississippi and Mary Fallin of Oklahoma.
The Republican governors said states can help lure businesses by reducing workers' compensation obligations, making regulations less onerous and limiting damages from civil lawsuits.
Barbour said curbing lawsuit damages was key to Mississippi.

Michael Crichton: Big Oil's Favorite 'Journalist'
Ross Gelbspan | February 9, 2006
By Ross Gelbspan • Thursday, February 9, 2006 - 14:33
The American Association of Petroleum Geologists is presenting its annual journalism award this year to Michael Crichton, the science fiction writer whose latest book, "State of Fear," dismisses global warming as a largely imaginary threat embraced by malignant scientists for their own ends.
"It is fiction," conceded Larry Nation, communications director for the association. "But it has the absolute ring of truth" he told the New York Times.

It's The Earmarks Stupid!
-- by Gary Boatwright
Campaign Finance Reform is the hot reform issue du jour. Oversight of travel, meals and free trips on corporate jets have all been mentioned in passing. The elephant in the living room that neither political party has hardly mentioned is earmarking. CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) has a Knight-Ridder article that has a short and sweet description of earmarking that suggests earmarking is the biggest problem:
Earmarking allows members of Congress to set aside money for specific projects in legislation without review by committees. The practice has ballooned in recent years: In 1998 the 13 appropriations bills contained 2,000 earmarks worth $10.6 billion, while in 2005 there were more than 15,500 earmarks that cost taxpayers $32.7 billion, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan fiscal watchdog group."There are thousands of quid pro quos that occur daily in the halls of Congress," said Keith Ashdown of Taxpayers for Common Sense. "Earmarking is the quo. It's what lawmakers can offer to lobbyists in exchange for political contributions and whatever else. It's part of the puzzle."
Ashdown recommends a 50 percent cut in earmarks and greater transparency for the earmarks that remain, such as requiring their placement in bills before they go into House-Senate conferences, which typically are closed to the public.
A 50 percent cut in earmarks sounds like a dramatic improvement. That means Congress would only be dishing out 7,250 earmarks worth a little over $16 billion. Is that what we are looking for when we're discussing reforming the culture of corruption? Why are anonymous earmarks tacked onto legislation in the dead of night an acceptable procedure at all? Why is it acceptable to allow even 100 anonymous earmarks per year?
Query: If lobbyists and their clients could not get rewarded for their efforts with multi-million dollar and hundred million dollar earmarks, what would happen to the culture of corruption?
Consider Sirota's description of the problem:
No matter where you look in politics you can see this phenomenon, right up in your face. We can see it in the two parties' competing lobbying/ethics "reform" packages - both of which do not attack the real problem of elections being financed by corporate cash. That's by design - because to attack the real problem with public financing of elections would be to actually give the public - and not Corporate America - control over the political process.We see the same thing on many major economic issues like bankruptcy, "free" trade, energy policy, health care and more. These are the bread-and-butter economic issues where the public consistently tells pollsters it wants radically different policies than comes from their government. Yet, politicians and the media dishonestly portray only a narrow set of policies in these areas as "mainstream," "centrist," or "politically possible" making sure the overall debate and realm of possible outcomes is narrowed to the point where votes don't really have to be bought, because whatever final result is already guaranteed to further enrich the powers that be.
This debate narrowing is really what lobbyists are masters of. They provide the talking points, justifications, background research and propaganda to both sides of a debate to make sure that politically taboo subjects (aka. the concerns of ordinary Americans) aren't really ever seriously considered in a debate over an issue. Lawmakers are happy to regurgitate the nonsense because they know that when they do, they will be rewarded like little puppies with a treat - namely, a campaign contribution.
hmmmmm. Mainstream. Centrist. Politically possible. Where have I heard those phrases before? They sound so familiar. It's right on the tip of my tongue. Is campaign finance reform a sufficient reform or merely a necessary first step? Without the payoff of lucrative anonymous earmarks, would corporate cash continue to pour into our electoral process?
Of course GOP spinmeisters are all trying to pretend that corruption is a bi-partisan issue. For example, Mary Maitlin on Meet The Press
RUSSERT: Ten years later, nearly 14,000 specific earmarked projects by individuals congressmen and senators, $27 billion dollars. Republicans control both houses of Congress.MS. MATALIN: They control both houses, but they're not the only earmark appropriators.
At the risk of being too objective, is it remotely possible that earmarks are the reason Bush and the GOP have been so successful at picking off just enough Democrats to pass significant pieces of legislation? Could there be a reason, aside from political cowardice, that Democrats haven't focused on putting an end to earmarking? Essentially all of the Abramoff corruption that has been uncovered has been funneled to Republicans. How much of the annual earmarking has been funneled to Democrats to purchase their complicity and their silence?The fundamental question is whether Democrats are serious about reform:
Mr. PAUL BEGALA: Well, yes, to the latter, absolutely. And Democrats are having an internal debate, which they are resolving now. They're coming out for reform. I have to say, when we were writing this book it was still a big debate. There were a lot of Democrats who didn't want to clean up the system, quite candidly. They, I think, were hoping to sweep out the corrupt Republicans lobbyists and bring in corrupt Democratic lobbyists.
A few sentences later Begala suggests the Democrats are finally ready to get serious about reform. I'm not convinced. A Newsday editorial points out that without an enforcement mechanism all of the talk about reform is just a lot of hot air. Perhaps reform is just too complex and difficult. Fromer SEC Chair Arthur Levitt Jr. has a few thoughts on the subject published in the Washington Post, Cutting The Corruption:
To remedy that, congressional lobbyists should be required to disclose weekly, online, which members of Congress they contributed to and met with, which staff members they lobbied, and what issues were discussed. Lobbyists also should have to affix their signature to these disclosures and, like CEOs who sign false financial statements, face serious criminal penalties if the disclosures are not accurate.
Now that's a pretty extreme suggestion I haven't heard anyone propose. It sounds like that would take care of the problem. Wouldn't it?
But disclosure is only part of the solution; independence is also critical. That's why auditing firms are now forbidden from providing non-audit services to auditing clients, why companies can no longer give personal loans to executives or directors, and why a majority of a board of directors must be independent of the company itself. In Washington, any number of conflicts of interest between members of Congress, their staffs, lobbyists and contributors must be untangled. To begin to do this, former members of Congress should be prohibited from visiting the floor of the House, the prohibition on lobbying by former members and their staffs should be extended from one year to four, and all gifts and travel for members and their employees should be banned.Finally, accountability must be restored. Currently, Congress's ethics committees resemble some of the worst corporate boards from the mid-1990s -- appointed by management and wholly dependent on it for career advancement. Just as corporate boards have been strengthened by rules establishing independent audit committees, Congress would be well-served by scrapping its current ethics committees and replacing them with an independent ethics commission made up of former judges, former members of Congress and other eminent citizens.
Moreover, as with good corporate governance, there needs to be more democracy in American governance. Partisan gerrymandering has created a Congress in which more than 95 percent of the members are assured of keeping their seats for life. Just as shareholders must have access to the proxy to hold corporate board members accountable, citizens must be confident that when they go into the voting booth their votes will be meaningful. It's time to explore ways to lower the barriers of entry for challengers -- through, for instance, free television airtime for all candidates. And to create more competitive congressional districts, we need to follow the leads of states such as Arizona and Iowa and put the responsibility of drawing district boundaries in the hands of nonpartisan boards.
But ultimately, no rule or regulation can transform an organization on its own. What's needed is a cultural change in which those who do the bidding of lobbyists, cash in their positions on Capitol Hill for huge paychecks and accept gifts are scorned, not praised. Accomplishing that requires real leadership, and that's something that only we -- as citizens and voters -- can give to ourselves.
Speaking for myself, I don't think either political party is serious about reform. If the progressive blogosphere and netroots are serious about campaign reform, we're going t have to be just as skeptical of Democrats as we are of Republicans. We're going to have to be just as demanding of Democrats as we are of Republicans. Business as usual, band-aid approaches and "pragmatically possible" solutions cannot be acceptable.

No, earmarking is not the biggest problem. There are projects which should be specifically earmarked for funds. So what's the real problem? A corrupt congress, of course, the misuse of "earmarking" to benefit special interests, everybody takes this for granted and nobody even reads the damned bills. The way the bills are constructed to be thousands of pages long, with everything thrown in including the kitchen sink, the kinds of shit put into them that don't belong there but should be separate bills to be voted on, is the problem. Reform that.

The part I just can't get over is the number of lobbyists who are ALSO running Congressional PACs or fundraising for those PACs.
Where's the national outrage? It's your money people, wake up and smell the corruption!

@Fantasgasmic: Thanos was confirmed way before this, after The Avengers endcredits:
Just because Thanos shown in a scene doesn't mean he was confirmed for Avengers 2. Previously the end credits scenes had set up the next movie non-sequel movie (there wasn't an Iron Man 2 set up). And the next non-sequel movie is Guardians of the Galaxy.
I think you all are getting it wrong. It stated from "this summer's movie" thus meaning Avenger's 1. Thanos was shown to be the mastermind behind everything after the end credits as the chitauri leader reported to him above all else. Thanos is in Guardians of the Galaxy and will more than likely be the main villain of Avengers 2. So you're both kind of right and kind of wrong.

Those who quit smoking before the first heart attack had a 50% lower mortality rate, while those who quit after their heart attack lowered that rate by a whopping 37% compared with those who continued to smoke.
"Information to live with ― literally"
In their study, researchers also quantified the effects of a reduction, as opposed to complete cessation, in smoking. By cutting their habit by only five cigarettes a day, a smoker might see the likelihood of dying within the next 13 years decrease by 18%. The researchers caution, however, that continuing to smoke still carries the risks of cancer and lung disease, and doctors should urge that their patients quit entirely.
"The burden of heart disease on our healthcare system is enormous. The overall impact of smoking on heart attacks and cardiac mortality is therefore much more significant than its impact on lung cancer," says Dr. Gerber. "The effect of smoking on heart health is actually a much bigger public health threat, and most people are not aware of this.
"The novel aspect in our study is that it is the first to show the benefit of a reduction in smoking," adds Dr. Gerber. "This is information that some smokers could live with ― literally. We would like people to consider cutting down as an initial step before complete cessation, especially those who find it impossible to quit right away."
