I occasionally write for outside publications. When those publications are digital iterations of traditional media outlets, their editors tend to be especially vigilant about keeping posts to 400-600 words (as compared with my 4,000 word monstrosity at The Big Picture today). That's because their research says that few readers will go beyond that length, no matter how good the content (which is a real problem for me since I tend to favor and write long and fairly involved pieces). Accordingly, information can readily be provided. But meaning, which takes careful sifting and evaluation of evidence, must remain rare indeed. Continue reading

A Chart is Worth a Thousand Words

How Not to Do It
On Monday, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued an important report on climate change. From the report: "Impacts from recent climate-related extremes, such as heat waves, droughts, floods, cyclones, and wildfires, reveal significant vulnerability and exposure of some ecosystems and many human systems to current climate variability." Moreover, for "countries at all levels of development, these impacts are consistent with a significant lack of preparedness for current climate variability in some sectors." In other words, climate change is a big problem and we're ignoring it. That's important stuff, if not exactly news.
John Tamny of Forbes (already notorious for an appearance on The Daily Show — video here) vehemently disagrees. His article explaining why provides a veritable treasure trove of examples of how not to do investment analysis, or analysis of any sort for that matter. Continue reading
More Probability Suckage
I have often noted (see here too) that we generally suck at math, to our great detriment. I have also noted that we are especially poor at dealing with probabilities. If a weather forecaster says that there is an 80 percent chance of rain and it remains sunny, instead of waiting to see if, in the aggregate, it rains 80 percent of the times when his or her forecast called for an 80 percent chance of rain, we race to conclude — perhaps based upon that single instance — that the forecaster isn't any good. Data trumps our lyin' eyes, but we don't routinely see it (and even deny its efficacy).
Further evidence – as if it were needed – in support of my thesis has been offered this week in the reaction to Nate Silver's projection that Republicans have a very real chance of gaining control of the Senate later this year. This forecast ("a Republican gain of six seats, plus or minus five") is hardy earth-shattering to anybody who has been paying attention. The configuration of seats up for election favors Republicans and the Democratic President's approval ratings are dreadful. There isn't much reason to expect an upswing in Democratic support either, even though (obviously) almost anything could happen over the next few months. Dealing with probabilities necessarily means being wrong sometimes.
The Probability Problem
Investing is a probabilistic enterprise. Since certainty is even rarer than high risk-free returns, we're left trying to make the best decisions we can based upon the knowledge we have. If we do that extremely well, we might be right most of the time, but still a long ways away from all of the time. The improbable — the highly unlikely even — happens and happens surprisingly often.
Take yesterday's NFL action, for example. More specifically, consider the astonishing Vikings v. Ravens game in snowy Baltimore. Continue reading
Overselling Competitive Balance
The New York Times has a piece out trumpeting competitive balance in baseball and highlighting the fact that "the 2013 baseball playoffs include more teams from the bottom 10 in payrolls than the top 10." Big spenders include the Dodgers, Red Sox and Tigers while the Pirates, Indians, Rays and Athletics are play-off teams despite being relative penny-pinchers. The Yankees, perennial spending leaders with a payroll in the range of $230 million this season, are watching at home while the Rays (spending very roughly a quarter of that amount) are still playing. The conclusion from the Times: "Market size matters, but not as much as shrewd management." That analysis isn't quite wrong, but it is more than a bit incomplete with respect to the data and leaves out a crucial element to the story: luck. Continue reading
Data-Driven Difficulties
As regular readers are all too well aware, I am committed to data-driven analysis and investing. We're suckers for stories, of course, and are ideological through-and-through, but the goal is to make sure that our investment decisions are based on real, quantitative evidence (at least to the extent possible).
That's easier said than done, of course. We are prone to all sorts of cognitive and behavioral biases — perhaps most prominently confirmation bias — all of which threaten our analysis. We are also highly susceptible to bias blindness, the inability to see our own biases even when others' are crystal clear. And now comes further evidence that our reasoning abilities are even worse than we thought. Continue reading
The One Percent Doctrine
A number of years ago, during George W. Bush's second term and by sheer happenstance, I ended up playing a round of golf with a Navy SEAL Commander (half the SEALs train here in San Diego). Obviously, much of his job was classified and he was very circumspect in what he shared. However, when I asked where or how I could become better informed about foreign policy, he recommended Ron Suskind's book, The One Percent Doctrine.
The "one percent doctrine" (also called the "Cheney doctrine") was established shortly after 9.11 in response to worries that Pakistani scientists were offering nuclear weapons expertise to Al Qaeda. Here's the money quote from Vice President Dick Cheney: "If there's a 1 percent chance that Pakistani scientists are helping al-Qaeda build or develop a nuclear weapon, we have to treat it as a certainty in terms of our response. It's not about our analysis … It's about our response."
Thus in Cheney's view and per subsequent policy, the war on terror required and empowered the Bush administration to act without the same level of evidence or analysis as might otherwise be necessary. Continue reading
The Semmelweis Reflex
The "Semmelweis Reflex" is a metaphor for our reflex-like tendency to reject new evidence or new knowledge because it contradicts our established norms, beliefs or paradigms. It is named for Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian obstetrician who found lasting scientific fame, but only posthumously.
Semmelweis discovered that the often-fatal puerperal fever ("childbed fever"), common among new mothers in hospitals, could essentially be eliminated if doctors simply washed their hands before assisting with childbirth. After observing that a particular obstetrical ward suffered unusually high instances of the disease and that doctors there often worked in the morgue right before aiding in childbirth but had not washed their hands in between, Semmelweis speculated that "cadaverous material" could be passed from doctors' hands to patients, causing the disease. He thereupon initiated a strict regimen at his hospital whereby all who would assist in a birthing must first wash their hands with a chlorinated solution. As a consequence, death rates plummeted.
Semmelweis expected a revolution in hospital hygiene as a consequence of his findings. But it didn't come.
Knowing What We Don't Know
In a recent post I made the obvious point that randomness has a very significant impact on investment performance. Of course, we're all too ready to acknowledge bad luck when things go wrong, but when we succeed we want all the credit. In any event, my friend Cullen Roche also published the post at Pragmatic Capitalism, where it got a comment that I find interesting and deserving of a bit more examination. Continue reading

Welcome to my newly re-designed site. So, who am I? I have a pretty eclectic life: author, online magazine publisher (and executive editor/writer), TV critic, educator, and singer of songs. This site will largely focus on my writing life: new projects, published books, news about my radio show "Let's Talk TV Live," and about Blogcritics Magazine, acquired April, 2014 from Technorati Media (with my business partner for this venture, Mr. Jon Sobel).
I have one book out under my sole authorship: Chasing Zebras: THE Unofficial Guide to House, M.D. (ECW Press, 2010), which covers the first six seasons of the iconic Fox series. In addition, I contributed several chapters to Drs. Shawn Tassone and Kathryn Landherr's great book Spiritual Pregnancy (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2014), and have a short story included in Riverdale Ave. Press's anthology, Still Hungry for Your Love: Further Adventures in Zombie Romance. All of these wonderful books can be found at Amazon.com.
I currently serve on the board of the Midwest Writers Association, and am an active public speaker on the writing life itself, and on pop culture. My next speaking engagement is at MENSA's Halloweem convention October 31, 2014. I'll be giving two presentations: The History of Science Fiction, and "A Passion for Disaster (Movies)."
In addition to writing non-fiction, I also have drafted my first novel, The Apothecary's Curse, a gaslamp fantasy that crosses genres from literary fiction to historical to romance to social commentary and back again. I hope to have news soon about the novel, so stay tuned to this space.

As head of an international organization tasked with the defense of earth against a full-scale alien invasion, XCOM requires you to put lives in grave danger with every move you make. Your organization must respond to threats around the globe, engage the enemy, and haul back their corpses and weaponry so that your research might gradually even the odds in the face of overwhelming technological superiority.
You'll have these same exact objectives in Enemy Within, but this expansion paints an alternate version of humanity's last stand. It's the same story with more embellishment, letting you modify your troops with alien DNA or amputate their limbs to let them interface with intimidating mechanized suits. The game veers a bit closer to sci-fi silliness than the original, with men in giant robot suits punching little grey guys in giant robot suits, but you'll be better off if you simply embrace it.
This escalated "what if?" scenario unlocks humanity's potential and attempts to rebalance the scales with a greater threat, bolstering the alien military with new creatures and introducing EXALT, an organization of rogue humans that work to undermine your efforts as you battle your otherworldly adversaries. The developers are effectively playing arms dealer here, sustaining the war they started in Enemy Unknown and keeping things interesting by selling to both sides.
The plan works. It's still up to players to decide what facilities to build in your base, what to research, and what to manufacture, but the so-called MEC units are available early on and are almost too powerful to pass up. This new soldier class to the game expand your combat options with heavy weapons and incredible durability that sharply contrasts with the distressingly squishy nature of your typical recruits.
Gene mods aren't as flashy and have a less immediate impact on how you play, but splicing alien organs is great for fine-tuning your soldiers in combination with the addition of performance-enhancing medals. The expanded customization in Enemy Within gives you more ways to eliminate weaknesses and emphasize strengths in any individual class to build what feels like a true super-soldier. Your team is a true reflection of how you've played, and when you send a capable team out to get things done you'll feel a real sense of pride.
You're also likely to experience some measure of fear, because the more you invest in one of these deeply customizable soldiers, the more it hurts if you lose them. The death of a soldier can be sudden and unexpected, and it's tough to shirk the feeling of responsibility even if it's mostly due to a bad roll of the dice. Depending on how you've configured the game's difficulty, the loss could be irreversible and you'll simply have to move on and adapt.
XCOM is full of tension, but the moments of triumph and relief make the risks you take worthwhile. Your decisions matter, whether it's turning a man into a machine, deciding to take an iffy shot, researching better armor before advanced weapons, or weighing short-term gain versus long-term security when selecting your next mission. Enemy Within succeeds in adding complexity without making these choices feel any less important.
A few of the game's ideas are intended as improvements or corrections. To fuel your development of MECs and alien DNA, you'll need to collect a resource called meld on the battlefield. Because this stuff actually feels valuable and expires in a set number of turns, simply making the most conservative moves is no longer ideal. The way enemies engage your forces still feels very reactive as you meet and "reveal" hostile groups, but meld provides a strong incentive to play more aggressively.
Enemy Within also switches things up with EXALT, an evil organization apparently united by their twisted worldview and peculiar fashion sense. Dealing with the group is an ongoing process, requiring you to scan the world map to reveal cells, and then send lightly-armed agents out for covert missions. These agents will be joined later by full squads to complete hacking or point-control objectives before extraction. You'll collect pieces of intelligence that will eventually let you pinpoint their base to wipe them out for good, which feels something like an open-book high school geography test and something your subordinates should probably be doing for you. The added mission variety is easy to appreciate, but despite adding some interest to the mid-game, this weirdo cabal can't escape coming off as a slightly underdeveloped addition.
There's certainly more to this new version of XCOM, including small but notable additions like new items and foundry projects, new maps, new multiplayer units, and a significant event that many fans expected to happen in the original. It's also worth noting that the package includes the collection of DLC missions Operation Slingshot as well as the new Operation Progeny, offering two optional mini-story arcs and the opportunity to acquire a few unique soldiers.
It would be hard to recommend a player try the expansion without playing the original first, but fortunately running the game on Steam requires ownership of Enemy Unknown and the console release will include both old and new versions. Enemy Within isn't the definitive version of XCOM, but it's a smart and satisfying extension of a game ideal for enticing players back for a second, third, or fourth playthrough.

Wisconsin sophomore Ryan Nord scored his first career goal as a Badger to help lead Wisconsin to a 1-0 shutout of visiting Eastern Illinois Friday night at the McClimon Soccer Complex.
I thought we played very well, Wisconsin head coach Jeff Rohrman said. Defensively, we were solid. We worked extremely hard to not give them any time and space to play in and that was a big part of the reason we won the game today.
Offensively, we did a little bit better in and around the box, but still we have to get more shots on goal. For as many shots as we took and as much of an attack as we had, we still need to force the goalkeeper to make saves. But we took care of business and we closed out a tight game. Theyre a good team, so I was very pleased with our performance.
Taking the field after a short burst of rain, the Badgers and Panthers held each other scoreless for the first 20 minutes of the game before Wisconsin took the 1-0 lead.
At the 21-minute mark, Badger forward Nick Van Sicklen played the ball to Wisconsin co-captain Valentine Anozie racing up the left side of the field. Spinning on his defender, Anozie fired the ball on Eastern Illinois keeper Ryan Eames, but the goalie leapt up for a big save on the shot, deflecting the ball off of the crossbar out to the right side of the Panther goal. Finding the ball on a angle to the net, Nord (Evanston, Ill.) rebounded the shot back past Eames for the 1-0 lead and his first goal in the Wisconsin history books.
Ryan (Nord) was just in the right place at the right time, Rohrman said. He put it home from a pretty sharp angle from what I saw, so I thought he did a great job of just getting it on frame.
Throughout the remaining minutes of the game, the Wisconsin defense took control allowing just eight shots by the Panther attack. Led by team co-captain John McGrady and sophomore Joe Anderson, the Badger defensive corps turned back repeated attempts by the Eastern Illinois front line in a physical and muddy match-up to hold off the Panthers scoring efforts.
Wisconsin keeper Eric Hanson collected three saves to ensure the shutout, while Eames posted five saves on the night for Eastern Illinois.
The Badgers (6-2-0) return to the road next Friday for their first Big Ten opponent of the season. Wisconsin plays Ohio State Friday, Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m. (CT) in Columbus, Ohio. Following their match with the Buckeyes, the Badgers will play Xavier Sunday, Sept. 29 at 12 p.m. in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The guys are going to be more than ready for Friday, Rohrman said, Im excited to get into the thick of it. Its a great conference and every game will be a battle. The guys are going to be ready and theyre going to be up for our match Friday.

Nine More Years of Eight – So the big news yesterday…well, really the only news yesterday was that of the Brewers contract extension with Ryan Braun. The extension is good for the team for obvious reasons but to me what really stands out is that Mark Attanasio is willing to put that kind of money into the team. A lot has been said over the past couple days over speculation that Attanasio would be interested in buying the Dodgers, which of course would mean selling the Brewers. The cynic may say that this contract extension was just done to take that heat off of Attanasio for now and he'll never have to worry about paying Braun that long because he'll have sold the team by then to buy the Dodgers. I'm going to take the opposite stance on this one say that this contract extension only confirms what most fans think of our current owner, he's committed to the Milwaukee, the fans and the long-term ability of the franchise to be competitive.
Stay tuned later this afternoon for the Friday Fan of the week and speaking of, if you haven't entered to become a Friday Fan of the Week yet, what are you waiting for? You could be the receipient of your very own PocketDoppler.com Coffee Mug like this handsome devil right here.

Audit Department Performance Management
Audit serves many masters and each of them measure value on a different basis. Understanding and meeting the varied demands upon audit and the different measures of expected contribution challenges every Chief Audit Executive (CAE) as they seek to build a good set of metrics. CAEs must define a set of metrics into a balanced scorecard that avoid common pitfalls and drive optimal behaviours within their team.
CAEs must understand the expectations from their stakeholders and ensure their activity delivers value as measured by each key stakeholder group. For example, among their internal stakeholders:
- Audit committees look for assurance over risk management, comfort over compliance and adequacy of asset / reputation protection;
- Executive management seek assurance over internal controls, improvements in process effectiveness and sharing of best practice;
- Operational management requires advice on control design and mitigating risks together with advisory support on projects, change initiatives and revenue growth.
CAEs report that performance measurement is a top-of-mind issue among their current personal objectives. They recognise that defining good Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is needed to drive their department performance to support corporate strategy (while maintaining essential independence) , properly align staff priorities to support departmetn goals and effectively manage stakeholder relationships.
Audit executives must overcome three common challenges to ensure that performance measurement drives departmental goal achievement.
- Creating a cohesive system. Audit executives frequently fall short of linking their selected metrics to the corporate strategy and to the audit department's mission as well as to individual staff actions, while also struggling to track progress diligently and consistently to support resource allocation decisions.
- Selecting input measures. Audit executives too often are backward-looking when selecting performance metrics, failing to ensure that metrics provide a window into the future with data that anticipates problems.
- Defining output metrics. Audit executives often fail to measure output in their highest-impact area due to misconceptions regarding the barriers of tracking them.
As performance measures serve two major purposes, CAEs must tailor their reporting to align the objectives with the varying focuses of internal constituents. Input metrics such as audit quality scores, report timeliness and staff experience / certification are more useful for the CAE and their audit management team. Conversely output metrics such as reduction in residual risk or surprise risk events, development of staff to become business leaders and costs recovered / saved as a result of audit work are of more interest to the Executive Committee and the Audit Committee.
To obtain insight into current and future goal achievement, CAEs must assess performance in the four areas critical to effective assurance work while avoiding countervailing metrics to minimise negative behavioural incentives. The four critical areas for a great balanced scorecard are:
- People, for example – placement of auditors into the business and FTEs leaving the company
- Plan, for example – proportion of time spent in high risk areas and proportion of assets / revenue covered
- Process, for example – proportion of plan completed and QA scores
- Resolution, for example – on-time resolution of issues and senior management survey results

Happy Day Two of Thanksgiving leftovers!
How you doin', champ? Are you over the million ways to mix up the holiday sides? Potato pancakes, turkey sandwiches, wraps, salad, and soups galore! It never ends, I know. The good news about the leftovers I made for this feast is that they're not limited to Thanksgiving Day. I wanted to give you a brief review of each, and a link to the recipes. This way, you can say, "Oh yeah… those are totally getting worked into my next meal!" … or, "WTH were you thinking jacking with the traditional holiday sides? Funky green bean casserole with canned cream of mushroom is where it's at! Where are my candied yams?!".
You be the judge and let me know if you'd miss those atrocities based on what you see here…
I'm a Pinterest recipe hound. If you're interested in seeing these links in one place I've created a board named, Paleo Thanksgiving, bitches!. Feel free to follow that, and my other recipe boards for inspiration (PaleoTastic, and Zone Diet)!
First, the Jalapeno Sweet Potato Biscuits. PaleOMG created these, and the original recipe includes shrimp but I omitted that ingredient and doubled the jalapenos. Super tasty, even without the shrimp! Helpful tips:
- Bake and serve immediately out of the oven. I finished them approximately 3 hours before the meal…. they went limp. I tried to revive them with another round in the oven for 10 min to stand them up a bit. FAIL. Serve piping hot. The one I tried right out of the oven was a potato cloud of wonderment!
- I made twice the amount, which is good as we each ate 2-3 due to their teeny size. Double the recipe, trust me. We mashed the biscuit leftovers into breakfast wraps the next morning with the stuffing and a few egg whites. Boom.
- For the fat, I used 1/2 bacon fat and 1/2 ghee. Stupid delicious.
Next the Cauliflower Mash. The instructions are straightforward, providing both russet potato instructions and how to sub in the cauliflower. I used ghee instead of butter, and light coconut milk instead of cow's milk to provide flavor. This took so little time! Thank god, since I was pretty drunk by the time I got around it. What?! Cooking is stressful. Booze calms the nerves….
Don't forget the Pan-Seared Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries & Pecans!! Most veggie sides at Thanksgiving get no glory, that all goes to the bird or stuffing. Dare I say it… but THIS one stole the show. I hogged these leftovers specifically, they were even better days later! The changes I made to ours? I omitted the barely (due to gluten), added a few dried cranberries, and substituted blue cheese for gorgonzola. I'm making this OFTEN. Holiday or no.
Finally, the Carmelized Onion & Sausage Stuffing. Soooo NOT traditional stuffing because there was no bread and the goods weren't shoved, then marinated up the bird's hole. I'm good without that nonsense though. It was savory, and diverse in flavors! I gotta hand it to PaleOMG. <golf claps> These leftovers combined with egg whites made a filling breakfast the past two mornings, with or without a gluten-free wrap!
Overall, grain-free and mostly Paleo Thanksgiving went well. I was truly grateful for my parent's willingness to try non-traditional sides for this uber traditional holiday! It was the PERFECT opportunity to try multiple grain-free recipes, see how well they kept as leftovers, and pass along the winnings TO YOU!
I hope your holiday was SPECTACULAR.
Lots of love,

Today's lesson: When life gives you apples, make Cinnamon Apples!
As part of my Personal Chef business, I also offer cooking demos for local businesses. Last weekend, I baked my Soft Ginger Cookies for a Fall Fair at Falcon Pointe in one of their model homes.
While I was there, I met a friendly fellow Austin blogger, Cat Jones, who writes the blog, The Whimsical Gardener. She prepared several variations of her Fall Fabulous Bundt Cake, all of which were very good.
My plan was also to make my Hot Apple Cider with the cookies, but it turned out the gas to the model home hadn't been turned on yet. Scratch that!
So, I suddenly found myself this morning with a bunch of lovely organic gala apples for which I had no use. Hmm.
Alas! I remembered I'd been craving yummy cinnamon apples. Make that: Homemade crepes filled with cinnamon apples!
Cinnamon apples are so ridiculously easy to make and are great during this time of year. They'll make your home smell like the holidays and are a lovely topping to yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, waffles or just by themselves.
- 4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- ½ cup loosely packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp. ground ginger
- ⅛ tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. Toss to evenly coat the apples.
- Heat a large sauce pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and allow to melt. Cook apple mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until apples are tender.

Comments about LaCrosse 4xBurly Realtree AP 1200G Hunting Boot:
I purchased these boots in early spring of this year, about 8 months ago. I live in Alaska and wore the boots in the spring a little while, but not enough to note anything. When caribou, moose, and goat season opened I wore them for the hunts. Most days I would walk 4-10 miles over some real tuff terrain, through water, bushes, rocks, up mountains and all over the darn place. My feet never hurt, never blistered, and never got cold. I wore them so much and through so many bushes and rocks that the real tree pattern wore off the toe. My feet do sweat a lot in them, but stay warm. I also used them for ice fishing. My feet did not get cold and I was in temps down to -15 degrees. My 16 year old son purchased the same boot at the same time as I did, and was right beside me the entire time. No complaints from him either. People complain about the fit. I wear a size 10 and purchesed a 10. My son wears a size 9 and purchased a 9.1/2. It feels fine on my feet. Find a pair and try them on just same some hastle. They are a little hard to get off, but I like the fit. The fit cuts down on boot rub causing blisters for me. When I go to replace them I will go with the same brand and type boot. Hope this helped you decide if you want a pair.

Comments about LaCrosse 4xBurly Realtree AP 1200G Hunting Boot:
I had these boots for 3 months and wore them daily through January and February. Last time I wore them I discovered a slow leak in the right boot. Investigating the sole showed a crack in the outsole. Also the rubber trim at th calf is coming off on both boots. For the price I expected more durability. Also, would probably have gone with a more insulated model. Fit smaller than my previous Lacrosse boots.

Comments about LaCrosse 4xBurly Realtree AP 1200G Hunting Boot:
I got these for winter bow season when my rocky boots sprung a leak. Had some high hopes but they are way small, I would say need to at least order size and a half big. Put them on and they sure feel good walking around, but 1,200gr insulation Gould hold heat better than these do. I only had them on 10 minutes and I could feel the cold starting in, for what these cost I would expect better. Looks like its going to be a cold late season for me

Is 7: 10-14 / Ps 24: 1-6 / Lk 1: 26-38
This statement looks simple on the surface, but I find it very challenging to understand fully. This passage occurs after the angel Gabriel explains in detail the role for which Mary has been chosen and how it will occur. "With God nothing will be impossible." But this pronouncement is written with a double negative. Why? Though it means the same thing logically, it does not say "With God everything will be possible." Why not? Rather, the focus is on the impossible or that which appears impossible to us. In the double negative structure, it says that with God, the impossible will not be. It is future oriented, a promise. But that isn't the end of what is perplexing. The structure of the sentence as written is also ambiguous. We don't know if "with God" refers to God or to someone like Mary who lives in deep faith with God. It isn't clear. Perhaps it means both simultaneously, especially since God is inextricably linked to us. So, focusing on God, it seems to state that God is all powerful and thereby has the power to make the (apparent) impossible happen. And as an incredibly gifting God, this means that the impossible that God creates will necessarily be a miracle (good). Now, if we shift the meaning to those who live life "with God", like Mary, that which appears to be impossible is not and will not be. So, as Mary demonstrates, the roles we are given, the challenges we are singled out for, or even the burdens that look impossible to endure will not be insurmountable or unbearable after all. With God, we are promised a future where the impossible is not possible. What a truly amazing gift that is. It certainly isn't easy, but it is definitely not impossible.
So, in this season of abundance and presents, let us be on the lookout for those genuine miracles that defy logic, give evidence of God's love, and let us nurture our faith to believe in God's promise of tomorrow, no matter how challenging or daunting it may seem.

Kamehameha Schools unveil plan for Kakaako high-riseUPDATED 7:47 PM HST Jul 26, 2013
The race is on as yet another high-rise project in Kakaako is about to spring up. Kamehameha Schools and Developer Stanford Carr unveiled plans for a 40 story tower on South St.Video Transcript
the foreseeable future. The race is on... as yet another high-rise project in Kakaako is about to spring up. Kamehameha Schools and Developer Stanford Carrr unveiled plans for a 40 story tower on South Street. KITV's Catherine Cruz shows you the brand new plans. Keahou Lane-- and Keahou Place two projects driven by land owner Kamehameha schools and developer Stanford Carr. The four-acre site will include low, mid, and high-rise residential development. It will include market rate townhomes, retail space with residential units above, a grocery store at the corner of Pohukiana and Kiawe and parking for more than a thousand cars. - stanford 43 :36 "Rising through the center will be Keahou Place a multi family highrise condominuim living that will introduce modern architecture." It will also be developed around another modern element-- rapid transit. - CRuZ 3:04- 3"11 "The Keahou development will be right up against the citys rail project in fact right here on Halekauwila street will be a transit station," If rail isnt built, Carr says he'll likely just add more townhouses. The 4 acre lot will include open spaces centered around what used to be an area known as Keahou Lane. KS will focus it efforts on 170 rentals--mostly 2-3 bedrooms to accomodate familes. Even with more families... there was no mention of more schools... KITV chimed in and asked what KS with its educational expertise and vast resources will do to address a concern that public elementary schools could be maxed out soon. - paul kay 47: 44 -47: 50 "The exsting school system faces alot of challenges are they are not going to fixed by one developer in one area," There are no zones set up in Kakaako to impose impact fee on developers. It is up to the school superintendent to help draft that. Until that happens, the Hawaii Community Development Authority says the DOE is preparing a wish list to ask developers and landowners what they can give. - 34: 43- 34 53 Gov -"These proposals are not taking place in a vacumn KS also has about 2 years to figure out how to handle losing 400 parking spaces for workers and other nearby businesses. - Kekoa 56:23 - 56: 29 - "We offer our employees bus passes already so tis not a stretch that we would extand that to rail but that is afew years off Meanwhile Carr says his adjacent development --Halekauwila place will provide at least 280 spaces as part of the state rental housing project. Parking, traffic and schools all to be impacted in a big way soon. THe HCDA is preparing an updated enviromental impact statement to address some of those concerns. The draft is expected in October.

A Weak Heart
Posted October 28, 2012on:
For the first time ever, I made a meal!
Yesterday was a Club Latino Potluck, so after brunch, I gathered all the ingredients I had at hand and Safeway and made Vietnamese Spring Rolls. It turned out to really great…well, really plain, but the peanut butter sauce I made to accompany with the meal made the rolls amazing. A lot of people liked it, while I liked the hash brown casserole and quesadillas more. Everyone made a meal, and we all gathered at the GAC to enjoy it. It was really nice.
Afterwards, I prepared some work for today. I am setting up a First Generation / Working Class Gallery today in the Reid Campus Center. You should come if you can—it will be opened from October 28th to November 11th, displaying the theme of what it means to be first generation and/or working class.
At 7:30 PM, we gathered in front of Prentiss to walk to North, for the annual haunted hospital! It was super scary, and as I approached nearer to the front of the line, I literally felt butterflies in my stomach in anticipation of the fear I would be dealing with. The scariest part of the entire ordeal was when we went through the children's ward, and one of the kids followed me and spoke very hauntingly. I tried pushing my friend toward the kid and be as far away from the kid as possible, but my friend knew better.
After the adrenaline rush, we went and watched some scary movies that scared me so much I would not go to sleep until my roommate was back. Yes, I have quite a weak heart. That is what my uncles say when they do not want to go on the roller coaster. We watched "Let Me In," the American adaptation of "Let the Right One In." I enjoyed the Swedish version much more—it was more beautiful and had a chilling elegance, in comparison to the American adaptation. Nonetheless, the American adaption was scary.
Now, here I am, about to head to Reid to set up the gallery. Cannot wait! Have a good weekend—I certainly am.

STAY TUNED: Southwest Florida's Seidl expands his TV reach
Last April in this column, we spoke with Southwest's Florida's Jay Seidl, who – among other things – is the creative force behind the syndicated TV show "Music Mix USA."
The show airs in first-run syndication on 35 TV stations in about 20 states, including here in Southwest Florida on WINK and TV6 (weekends, late night, check local listings). Globally, you can also find the show in Great Britain, Brazil, Africa and Russia.
Now Seidl is expanding his reach. "Music Mix," with nore than 200 episodes in the can, may now be seen on two networks on a daily basis — Tuff TV and My Family TV.
My Family TV is a new channel that is affiliated with more than 40 television stations across the country. Stations will air the channel on secondary digital tiers, kind of like Me TV and ABC 7's relationship here in Southwest Florida.
"Music Mix" airs for a full hour weeknights at 10 p.m. on My Family, which has signed stations near us in Miami, Tampa and Orlando.
Tuff TV is also meant to be a digital subchannel feed, like My Family TV; although it's geared more toward men. "Mix" airs daily at 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Tuff only has one Florida outlet thus far, in Key West.
"I'm very excited to have this next level in the show, offering me more coverage, more exposure," says Seidl.
Unlike many syndicated television shows, Seidl produces 52 new episodes a year that features interview with big name musicians across genres, and features music videos. He does most of the work himself, including the camerawork and interviews. In the beginning he hosted the show, but the constant innovator often uses his subject matter as hosts; which frees him up to be more creative behind the lens.
The show is shot on location, generally behind the scenes as musicians rehearse for their shows.
Seidl, a lifelong musician, was born in Canada, grew up in Naples and continues to call Southwest Florida home. He now lives in Fort Myers.
I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of Seidl in the very near future.

Celebrity chefs, Bobby Flay and Anne Burrell take eight contestants each show and attempt to teach them culinary skills. One contestant per team is eliminated each episode. The prize for the winner is $25,000.
The new season premieres at 9 p.m., Sunday. You can vote for Melissa and watch full episodes of the season at www.foodnetwork.com/worst-cooks-in-america.

By now you've probably heard that this year's Super Bowl is the most watched television show in history; but what you may not realize is that Madonna's halftime performance is the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show featuring entertainment ever. It was seen by 114 million viewers, nearly 4 million more than last year's performance featuring the Black Eyed Peas (110.3 million).

Lynn from Naples asks: "I frequently receive e-mails from NBC Universal Sports, a channel that is not carried by Comcast in either its basic line-up or in its sports package. Since Comcast now owns NBC, I find this fact unusual.
"Recently I spoke with a Comcast customer service rep who told me that Versus (Channel 61) was now Universal Sports. This, also, is not true. It is labeled NBC Sports but that is not the same as Universal Sports. I specifically asked if the programming announced for Universal Sports was on that channel and she said 'Yes.' One Friday night at 8 p.m., Universal Sports showed the USA vs. Costa Rica soccer match. NBC Sports showed Yale vs. Harvard college hockey.
"Can you find out what is going on with Universal Sports? When and where will it be on the Comcast line-up?"
As you discovered, Channel 61 on Comcast, formerly Versus, is NBC Sports Network, which just recently launched.
But what you may not know is that NBC is not as invested in Universal Sports as it might appear by the name. And you won't find it on Comcast.
Launched in 2005 as World Championship Sports Network and then rebranded Universal Sports in 2008, the channel has changed its distribution strategy and is basically starting from scratch.
Prior to Jan. 1, Universal Sports, which is majority-owned by InterMedia Partners — with Comcast's NBC Universal holding a small stake — was offered to distributors such as Time Warner Cable for free. Now, Universal Sports wants to be paid by distributors for carriage.
So far, satellite broadcaster DirecTV is the only multichannel video program distributor to have cut a deal with the channel, but its officers say they are confident that they'll be in 15 million to 20 million homes by the end of the year.
Until next time, stay tuned.

Tim Lee wishes Ms. Schroeder would stick to the facts when she criticizes the Google Print library project:
I'm sorry if for beating a dead horse, but it seems every Google critic is making the same mistake:
The creators and owners of these copyrighted works will not be compensated, nor has Google defined what a "snippet" is: a paragraph? A page? A chapter? A whole book?
The answer is "less than a paragraph." You can find that page by going to the Google Print home page, clicking "About Google Print," and then clicking "view our Google Print Screenshots." There are links to that page in several other places on Google Print's web page as well.
Am I off base to think that this falls under the category of "basic fact-checking?"
The creators and owners of these copyrighted works will not be compensated, nor has Google defined what a "snippet" is: a paragraph? A page? A chapter? A whole book?
Am I off base to think that this falls under the category of "basic fact-checking?"
I've linked to these posts before, but they're excellent resources for clearing up the confusion about what Google is doing, and well worth passing along for anyone who might otherwise be led astray by articles like Schroeder's:

Well, Google is not displaying only one snippet per book, but thousands of them, covering every book almost completely.
And yes, Google has _not_ disclosed what "set of pages" they are talking about in number 6 of their FAQ:
"6. I'm already logged in. Why are you telling me the page is unavailable?
As part of our efforts to protect a book's copyright, a set of pages in every in-copyright book will be unavailable to all users."
This "set of pages" is the only one they are not using to display to searchers, and I don't know how large it is in relation to the whole book.
Quite possibly this restriction applies only to the "Publisher" part, since it talks about "pages". In that case, the "Library" project would indeed use the whole book, and display the whole book, even if to different searchers (which is irrelevant, since Google is the defendant here, not the searchers).
While your position is correct if you are only looking at individual searches, Google is actually serving multiple searches per book.
That does seem to make somewhat of a difference when talking about the "portion used" under fair use.

To Karl-Friedrich Lenz:
Where in the U.S. copyright law does it say that it is not okay
for Google to display thousands of snippets not to one or few
people but to many millions of people?
Here is an analogy: I have a book. 1,000 people in my town
knows that I have it. These 1,000 people don't want to buy
the same book for whatever reasons (to save money, not to kill
trees, will not keep book for long time, etc.). For the next
five years, some of them come to my house and look at my book
and copy a snippet from it (different places in book). Some
of them call me and ask me to quote a snippet from my book
over the phone (again, different places in book). Some of
them send me e-mail asking me to quote a snippet from my book
(still, different places in book). Clearly, the U.S. copyright
law permits it.
However, what is not permitted by the U.S. copyright law is that
these 1,000 people can't come together and put all the snippets
that they collect from me together to create another book that is
substantially similar to my book that is in my possession. In
this case, they are are guilty of copyright infringement and I
am not because I do not know that they plan to do that.

5. Mike Perry on November 5, 2005 2:15 PM writes...
I suspect that at trial Google Print will get away with sub-paragraph snippets as fair use. The problem is that, from the perspective of a serious researcher such a short text is almost worthless. We need easy access to the entire text.
Advocates of eugenics, for instance, often take away in one paragraph almost everything they seem to have granted in another. There's a paragraph in the eugenic writings of Victoria Woodhull, for instance, in which she claims to be offering "freedom of choice" to women, just the sort of search term someone researching her views on reproductive issues is likely to use. But in the preceeding paragraph she said that in the eugenic society she wants to create it would be a CRIME for a woman to have a child from a father who was an alcoholic or who had seizures. The only freedom Woodhull was offering in this context was that somehow society would take economic care of women who were forced by her eugenic laws to divorce a man they love.
And yes, I know Victoria Woodhull's writings are in public domain. I just published some of them in Lady Eugenist. But the controversial parts of Google Print aren't and for those Google will be quoting snippets so brief that lazy researchers (alas, perhaps the majority, at least among students), will be doing a lot of out-of-context quoting.
And keep in mind that under copyright law Google Print can't quote more than tiny snippets. Its engaging in none of the sorts of creative, critical and scholarly work that would justify a longer quote. I know, my The Lord of the Rings chronology, Untangling Tolkien, gives virtually every detail in the tale's plot, but is legal because it does that for a 'scholarly' reason.
Defenders of Google Print are getting it wrong. The scheme is not a small step in the right direction. It's a small step in the wrong direction and a distraction from what we need to be doing. Fair use simply won't bear the weight of extensive quoting (much less the full text) of copyrighted works. It won't give everyone with an Internet connection the world's largest library. It'll give them a long and clumsy list of snippets, overlapping and based on clumsy word searches, that then require them to locate copies of a long-out-of-print books and have them sent through the mail. I do that sort of thing now, and it's a pain.
What we need is an easy, inexpensive and legally unambigious way to divide all out-of-print but still copyrighted books into two categories: 1. Those for which the copyrighter holder is known (by simple registration) and who must be paid for a copy to be downloaded. Here we're talking about 1-2 cents per page. Amazon is moving toward a purchasing scheme that would work well with that. 2. Those for which the copyright holder is not known and for which copies can be made subject to certain restrictions. That'd be a good field for Google Print. It'd be a win/win situation for everyone--authors, search engines and researchers.
Congress may not move very fast, but with the proper pressure, Congress could settle this matter legislatively in a broad and useful manner before we have a definite court settlement that's likely to say nothing more than that tiny snippets are OK.

6. Seth Finkelstein on November 5, 2005 4:43 PM writes...
"Where in the U.S. copyright law does it say that it is not okay
for Google to display thousands of snippets not to one or few
people but to many millions of people?"
I think that would be factor #1 of the fair use test, "the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes".
and *possibly* factor #4, "the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work"
One part of the for-Google argument seems to be an assumption that if it can be done once for less commercial reasons, It's absolutely, unarguably, no change at all in kind, to do it an unlimited number of times for a more commercial reason.
It is *far* from clear that this scaling argument works, and it certainly shouldn't be asserted as self-evident.
7. Karl-Friedrich Lenz on November 5, 2005 7:51 PM writes...
I had rather number 3 in mind:
"the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole;"
I think that serving two snippets uses more than serving only one, and serving thousand snippets uses still more.
And I think that the analysis should not be confined to the single search result report, but to the sum of all search result reports Google does on a particular work.
In the analogy provided by Joseph Pietro Rielo above, he would be using a larger portion of the book by quoting different snippets to different people than if he did that only once.
8. Joseph Pietro Riolo on November 5, 2005 8:34 PM writes...
To Seth Finkelstein:
Nowhere in fair use section says the maximum number of times that
fair use can be exercised. If I exercise fair use five times
from one book, that is fine. If I exercise fair use one million
times from one book spread over the span of 50 years, that is
also fine.
Nowhere in fair use section says that the sum of previous
snippets must be considered for the purpose of fair use. If
I quote 5 snippets from one book during first year, 10
snippets from the same book during second year, 12 snippets
during third year, and so on, that is still permissible.
Each case of fair use stands on its own and is independent
of past and future fair use cases.
To Mike Perry:
What you want is not the primary goal of Google Print. It
merely gives suggestions to researchers where they most
likely find materials that pertain to their research. If
they want more than what is available through snippets,
they just have to go through longer way to obtain larger
materials (i.e., go to library).
I really don't have a lot of hope for Congress to listen to
your suggestions. Too many authors simply don't like to lose
not even one iota of control over their works.
9. Karl-Friedrich Lenz on November 5, 2005 10:02 PM writes...
Joseph Pietro Riolo:
You are right that section 107 says nothing about the point. It however also does not confirm in any way your view that each use is to be reviewed independently.
We can easily agree that this question is crucial for determining the portion used by Google.
Now, in your analogy, you are quoting a book five times this year. I completely agree with you that these instances should be judged each on their own, as long as this is not part of a plan by you to get around number 3 in Section 107.
If I post the first three lines of the latest Harry Potter book on my blog, and then the second three lines five minutes later, and so on, you bet I am going to hear from Ms. Rowlings' lawyers. They will tell me to stop it, and my protest that I am posting three lines at a time won't help me much.
It won't help me because there is an obvious connection between the single posts.
Now, back to Google.
There is an obvious connection in their case as well.
They include each book only once in their search database. Then they lean back and look at the thousands of snippets flowing to the public from that one act.
That seems to be one reason to view the totality of the use flowing from the act of including the book as the standard when talking about "portion used" under Section 107.
I assume that this question will be discussed in the lawsuit, and when the Supreme Court decides on the issue in 2009, we might get the answer.
However, that decision is not yet in any database. Future caselaw is one area that even Google can't reach.
10. Joseph Pietro Riolo on November 6, 2005 8:03 AM writes...
I agree with you that we have to wait and see how the case
will proceed. Because it is a civil action, it is going to
be very, very, very slow (motions, discovery, witnesses, and
so on). Public comments made by the plaintiffs are entirely
another matter though.
I think that there was a court case that covered the same
issue that you raised in your Harry Potter example. It
is something like aggregation of quotations which is not
permitted. But, I don't remember much details about the
court case.

sad girl seeks sad boy who'll watch an endless supply of cult classics and fuck like an adrenaline junkie
i always knew i would never be
"girlfriend material"
maybe the gods forgot to cut me carefully from the same cloth they doted out to everybody else
a thicker and more claustrophobic material
one that overheats and suffocates you
my mouth is a forest fire that ignites at the first sight of thunder ahead
other people use their words to heal and comfort their significant other while i'd always had a natural disposition of wielding my tongue as a freshly sharpened knife
i wanted to learn
i wanted to teach myself that in order to be in a relationship you have to treat the hardships like delicately gauzed wounds
changing them out every few hours and applying ointments to soothe and mend the broken flesh
but i don't know if it's because of my mother
who was never very nurturing
taking emotional withdrawals from me throughout my entire childhood
teaching me to cultivate my isolation and find comfort in my loneliness
i'd see the signs of her packing up her bags and departing from a mile away and the only survival method i knew was to let her go before she let me go, again
and again
and again
and again
i tried to mend myself for you
to be less broken down for you
i promised myself i'd be healthier and fight my depression like a true viking at battle
i knew i was never girlfriend material
i don't have the patience or understanding to learn how to nurture wounds
my natural instinct has always been to throw salt in them
to slit my throat and slit my throat and slit my throat until i bled out all of you entirely
it's not that i never knew how to love
but that i never knew how to love properly
caring too much and showing too little
displaying my fear of losing you with an anger that destroys everything in my path
instead of affection and vulnerability
my lovers never know if i love them
i display my feelings in watered down sentiments that take shape in the way i allow my body to mold into theirs under bedsheets
the love i carry though, suffocates me
it drowns my internal organs
and floods the entirety of my body
leaving me speechless and incapable of articulating how i feel or why i feel the way that i do
in turn i appear cold to the touch
and that is how i knew i was never girlfriend material
i want to lay down on train tracks and sacrifice my body
until i get it right
but i fear it only leaves me in poorer condition than the last
i'm sorry i don't know how to love you properly
i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry
you see, i'm just not "girlfriend material"
I'm very peculiar
in the sense that I enjoy company
although I never really initiate it
I enjoy love
but I never really procure another's interest
I have a way of embodying the sand as lovers, friends, family, acquaintances, and strangers have a way of embodying the ocean. Coming around to kiss me, or capture me, or acknowledge my existence, ever so often.
But I never have the energy or the power to make anyone stay for very long or at all for that matter.
you pull and pry at me like an eager child with a new toy, disposing of me as quickly as the newer thing comes along
pull my panties to the side and fuck me like your little harlot
Your entire existence was a cruel joke
that your parents concocted while
you were in the womb
only to tell you, in your later years,
just how bleak and insignificant you truly are
and were always - to them.
I'm a wilting leaf
Trying to cling onto a tree;
Who took care of me,
Who loved me so dearly.
I'm a wilting leaf
So fragile and indecisive;
Whether or not to hold on
Or detach myself from you.
I'm a wilting leaf
Unworthy of your space;
Other flowers could bloom
If only I'd be gone.
I'm a wilting leaf
Release me, let me fall;
'Til I crumble into pieces
And get consumed by dirt.
i am a broken vase
i am a mad girl's love song
i am a caged bird
i am a withering ghost
i am dead i am dead i am dead
there is a pulse
why is there a pulse
i wonder why people talk so much yet mean very little
i wonder why we step on the cracks of sidewalks when we know we're only killing our mothers
i want to feel violently in love with you
i want you to fall violently in love with me
i want to weave a noose made out of hydrangeas for you and kiss each drop of whiskey into your mouth
i want to pick you apart like the petals off of the stem
do i love you? do i love you not?
