UPDATE: Senate President Jeff Atwater called to clarify his position on the decision not to hold a special session on oil spill-related issues. Here's what he had to say:
"I haven't changed my mind on anything. I don't know how I could have tried any harder," Atwater said about the House's decision that a special session is unnecessary this year. He said a special session is both "timely and necessary."
There's no need for a special session to address the fall-out from BP's Deepwater Horizon oil rig blast that pumped millions of gallons of hydrocarbons into the Gulf of Mexico, House Speaker Larry Cretul and Senate President Jeff Atwater have decided.
Despite earlier promises that lawmakers would convene as early as September to try to give a helping hand to fishermen and others in the Panhandle whose finances have crumbled in the aftermath of the April 20 disaster, the pair are convinced those issues can wait until the regular session next year in March.
"It would appear that while there are some issues where legislative action may be appropriate, there are no issues that require immediate formal legislative action. Additionally, there are several areas where it is clear that we do not yet possess the information necessary to make informed decisions. Moreover, many of these issues require solutions that would benefit from closer scrutiny during a regular legislative session," Cretul, R-Ocala, wrote to House members today.
Atwater, who is running statewide for chief financial officer, apparently agreed although he had previously pushed the House to come back early.
Atwater, R-North Palm Beach, said he asked his select committee "to continue developing proposals, gathering data, and working with incoming leadership in preparation for the next session" in a memo to the his members today.

Former KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch will take part in a signing session at the Vintage Vinyl store in Fords, New Jersey on Friday, September 26 beginning at 7:00 p.m.For more information, visit www.vvinyl.com. Welch's debut solo album, entitled "Save Me From Myself", is scheduled for release on September 9 via Driven Music Group/H2C Records, and distributed by Ryko/Warner Music Group. The CD's first single, "Flush", was made available exclusively via iTunes on July 8. A video for "Flush" was completed in Los Angeles with director Frankie Nasso of Nova Entertainment (MUDVAYNE, HATEBREED, ALL THAT REMAINS, WALLS OF JERICHO). According to a press release, the storyline for the "Flush" video "takes a surprising turn away from what the conservative press would expect from Head and his spiritual awakening and takes an 'in-your-face,' gritty, but very honest look at the depths to which individuals will go to satisfy their drug/alcohol addictions or other vices. Wrapped with footage of real-life stories, and overlayed with other innuendo, Head's performance steals the picture and will answer anyone's questions as to whether he can still rock as hard or harder than his earlier days in KORN. The literal message in the final screen will get viewers thinking long and hard about any pre-conceived judgments they have about those in society typically viewed as losers." Check out behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the video below. Welch's memoir, "Save Me from Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story", rocketed into the New York Times bestsellers list after its first week of publication last year, debuting at #20 on the "Non-Fiction" list. For more than a decade, Brian "Head" Welch was lead guitarist for the controversial rock band KORN, but in early 2005 he shocked the international music community when he abruptly quit the band and announced that he had been saved by Jesus Christ. His announcement in front of 10,000 people in Bakersfield, California set off a media frenzy, as people from around the world sought to understand what led this rock star into the light. In the book, Welch talks for the first time about how his tumultuous life with the band led to his surprising decision to quit KORN.

I've penned a new column at Counter Cultured titled, "Dear Big Government: Birth Control Doesn't Measure Our Worth."
Here's an excerpt:
On Monday, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) issued a landmark ruling that put a muzzle on the contraception mandate contained in Obamacare. This is a small but important victory for religious liberty and limited government.
Per usual, abortionistas decried this ruling as the end of women's rights. (Cue the melodrama! The death of womankind is upon us!) They decried, "Get my employer out of my bedroom!" while simultaneously begging our government to fund their sexual escapades. One gal–Guardian U.S.'s Jessica Valenti—even suggested that women "should organize a safe-sex f***-in at every Hobby Lobby across the country." (Gross.)
If this is what passes for female empowerment today, our gender has truly been set back.

We're gonna be seeing a lot more of Yeezy in the coming months. After disappearing to Paris for a bit to finish up his 6th album the G.O.O.D. Music CEO is back in the states, previewing his LP, gearing up for an "SNL" performance, and possibly even filming a cameo for the upcoming film "Anchorman 2?"
According to Access Atlanta, Kanye was on set in Woodruff Park Atlanta this week, where the crew was filming a big fight scene and now we're hoping 'Ye is in the midst of the rumble with his nunchucks swinging, but nothing has been confirmed. One fan posted an image on Twitter which seems to show 'Ye sporting a mini fro, hinting that he might end up on the big screen.
Kanye has a good relationship with "Anchorman" star Will Ferrell, whose vocals from the 2007 comedy "Blades of Glory" were spliced into Watch the Throne's monster hit "N—-s in Paris" ("We're gonna skate to one song and one song only!")
"Kanye reached out to me and I said, 'Of course,' " Ferrell told MTV News of being featured on the song. "I was completely flattered when they asked if they could sample me into the song … and when I heard it for the first time, I just started to laugh because it felt so surreal. But I really did like the song."
"I think [something from] 'Step Brothers' would be good [to use in a song]," he added, of other sampling possibilities. "Or the Woody Allen movie I did, 'Melinda and Melinda.' Guess it's too bad that Ye's album will be out before "Anchorman 2" drops, but hopefully these two will cross musical paths again in the future.

Fitness Benefits of Tennis
Historically known as the "sport for a lifetime," tennis can be played by just about anyone, at any stage of their fitness journey. It's a sport that can be both fiercely competitive and completely relaxing. But what are some of the benefits to the player?
- Tennis is a highly aerobic sport that burns more calories per hour than aerobic classes, cycling or skating. Men can burn over 500 calories in an hour of game play and women more than 400.
- Because it requires alertness and tactical reasoning, it may generate new connections between nerves in the brain. This, according to scientists at the University of Illinois, will promote a lifetime of continuing development of the brain. We all know that brain development is a very good thing!

Afghan intelligence chief Asadullah Khalid (file photo)
The Afghan spy chief who was wounded in a suicide bombing, Asadullah Khalid, is reported to be in stable condition one day after the attack.
A spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) says Asadullah Khalid is now being treated in the U.S.-run military hospital at Bagram air base, 60 kilometers north of Kabul.
He was wounded in a suicide attack inside a guesthouse run by the National Directorate of Security (NDS) intelligence service.
Journalists received an e-mail, said to be from a Taliban spokesman, claiming responsibility for the attack.
Khalid was initially treated in a hospital run by the Directorate of Security.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai expressed optimism about Khalid's recovery after visiting him in the hospital.
Khalid, a former governor and minister, was appointed as the Afghan intelligence chief in September.

I miss you everyday.
I don't think I should, you just up and left me. You went away and never came back. I just wish that we could've had more time together, you were special to me.
We used to have so much fun at Mr. Austria's house, running in the field, swimming together in the river, I even taught you how to paint.
I still have the bunny.
I made some new friends. They're Germany and Japan.
Though I have a strange attraction to Germany for some reason. Maybe because he looks so much like you.
My long lost love.
Come back to me, please?
I love you....

Edit Article
How to Help Your Sister or Brother Stop Crying
If your sister or brother is crying so hard you want them to stop, it can be hard to find a way to help. All the same, it is a good thing to try and help, as it shows you care and even if they keep crying, they know you're offering support and kindness.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Try to make your sibling laugh or cheer up. Crying is serious business and has a valid role in clearing emotions, so until the crying starts to peter out at the end, it's no laughing matter. However, when the tears turn to sobs and you can see that your sibling is comforted by your presence, it can be the right time then to introduce a special joke or a funny anecdote that has meaning for the two of you. Appropriate shared humor is a great way of relieving the tension.
2Don't do anything to make your sibling cry even more. Things that are likely to increase the crying include yelling, shouting "shut up", throwing things at your sibling, swearing, making a lot of noise, storming off or saying mean things. None of those are helpful responses and are only likely to make things worse and can even increase the fear in your sibling. Be thoughtful about your sibling's predicament, not resentful of the crying.
3Suggest that your sibling takes a nap. Say it nicely and make it a treat by offering to have their favorite animal also take a nap with them.
4Help your brother or sister to calm down. Avoid shouting something like: "Oh just calm down will you!", as this is mean and is all about irritated you are. Instead, speak softly and calmly and let your sibling know that you're there for him or her and that you won't be going anywhere until he or she feels better.
- When the crying calms down, ask if there is anything your sibling might like. For example, a drink, something to eat, a favorite toy to cuddle, etc.
- Give your sibling a hug or hold his or her hand. If he or she doesn't like being touched, simply be there.
5Relax, and stay relaxed. If you stay calm, your sibling will sense this and will soon begin to trust that your calm rhythm is preferable to being exhausted by crying.
6Take your sibling out to play. Staying inside or staying in the same place as the crying can trap your sibling in the same bad feelings; take a break from the place and go and do something different.
- You might like to play a game together, or go for a walk somewhere. Perhaps go to the park to see the ducks, walk the dog or go to the playground.
- Food might be an option; for example, a bowl of sliced bananas, peeled mandarins, some apples slices, etc. for two to share, can be a nice way to calm down and reconnect.
- Try dress-ups, imaginary play or letting your sibling be king or queen for an hour.
- Read a book together.
- Play music and dance. Dancing and music are great ways to forget feeling bad before.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Do not tell your sibling something is going to be okay if it isn't, or if you don't know. It is better to say that you're there for your sibling than to create false hope.

With the NCAA basketball tournament in full swing, anyone who is interested in "March Madness" has filled out their brackets. Some are happy with their picks, though many are disappointed their favorite team is out of the running.
While it helps to pick the ultimate winner, the best strategy is to be sure you select enough teams that will survive through the early rounds. In many ways, picking teams for the March Madness tournament bracket is similar to developing your stock portfolio.
In Pictures: Learn To Invest In 10 Steps
It's All About the Odds
If you arrive at the last couple of rounds (the Sweet 16, the Elite Eight and the Final Four) with more teams than anyone else, you have a good chance of winning your pool. When you're picking stocks that have a chance to beat the market average, the same logic applies. As your winning picks progress through each level, you collect more points. The more stocks you pick that do well the more your portfolio will reward you. If you arrive at the final rounds with more teams (or stocks) still playing you will likely win.
While it is wonderful to pick the winner, the probabilities work against you. Like putting all your money in one stock, you leave yourself open to disappointment should the game or stock not work out as you hoped.
A portfolio of good stocks based on the factors that you deem important is more likely to deliver the profits you expect. While one or a couple of your stock picks might disappoint you, the remainder will deliver good results. As long as you are beating the average, you are ahead. (Learn about how March Madness can affect players' careers; read The March Madness Effect.)
Here are a few good strategies that apply to your tournament selections as well as to stock picks.
- Don't pick with your heart.
Picking a team just because it is your alma mater does not mean it will win. There needs to be more fundamental or technical reasons to pick a stock or a team. The counter to this is if you like a stock for solid reasons, then it might be a good choice. Maybe your shopping trips have shown you that a certain retailer has lots of traffic and people are carrying their bags more than others. This is a good sign your favorite retailer might be doing better than the rest of the crowd.
- Coaching experience matters.
Quality coaches can make a difference. The same holds for corporate management. If management has the experience and proven skills to navigate the company, this can be a good pick. Quality management is one of Warren Buffett's most important rules in picking winning stocks. (Learn more about Buffett's techniques in Warren Buffett: How He Does It.)
- Be careful picking upsets.
While they can be exciting, they are dangerous if they do not win. Buying a high-risk stock with an unproven track record might be exciting until it fails to deliver the profits you expect. That doesn't mean you shouldn't have one or two potential high flyers in your portfolio; you just don't want to stake your entire fortune on them.
- Do your homework.
There is a wealth of data on the teams and the probability of them making it to the next round. The same applies to stocks. Good research gives you a leg up on everyone else.
Financial Slam Dunk
Winning your pool is exciting. If you follow a few good rules, you have a better chance of coming out on top. Like picking stocks for your portfolio, if you follow well-founded rules your chances of owning a winning portfolio will increase. Good luck in the tournament and in growing your portfolio.

Soldier Surprise! Army Wife Loses 150 Pounds While Husband Is Deployed
Army Spc. Larry Shaffer, who has been deployed for a year in Afghanistan, returned home to North Carolina this week to discover two big surprises. This first ... his wife Misty lost 150 pounds as a homecoming gift to him.
VIDEO: Special Needs Son Surprises Military Dad in Most Emotional Homecoming You May Ever See
When Shaffer saw his wife, he said, "Wow! It's just icing on the cake, because I've been happy with the way she's looked since day one."
The other big surprise … Misty bought a new home for the couple and their daughter. Spc. Shaffer can't wait to move in.


text: Home Politics Will Ann Romney's 'GMA' Visit Be a Win? Like Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain before her, Ann Romney's making the rounds. By: Hillary Crosley Posted: Oct. 7 2012 12:55 PM 0 CBS News Good Morning America announced that Ann Romney will be a guest host Wednesday, and her appearance says as much about media's changing face as it does about her husband's presidential campaign. In 2008, both Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain, wife of Barack Obama's then-opponent Sen. John McCain, stopped by shows like The View as co-hosts. But while the experience may seem lighthearted, Romney may have signed up for a grilling, reports the Los Angeles Times. A time existed not that long ago when news outlets kept an arm's length from the subjects they would cover. But both "GMA" and Romney have bigger priorities today — with the morning show in a daily race to unseat NBC's "Today" as the a.m. ratings leader and Romney pushing hard to help her husband, Mitt, win the White House. At least the show, which announced Romney's guest hosting duties Thursday, signaled that it intends to treat both sides equally when it comes to line-blurring. It hopes to find a spot to bring First Lady Michelle Obama on as a co-host too ... To wit: "The View" ladies had Cindy McCain on in April 2008 as a guest host. But as the election neared in September 2008, McCain and her husband returned as mere guests. The Republican couple got a good working over from the mostly-liberal hosts. They grilled both McCains about his running mate, then-Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, and about their multiple houses and about the separation of church and state. Co-host Joy Behar told John McCain that some of his campaign ads were "lies." Cindy McCain said afterward that "The View" ladies "picked our bones clean." Read more at the Los Angeles Times.

Roubini: Many Davos Speakers Think It's Like 1914 … Right Before WW1 Broke Out
Well-known economist Nouriel Roubini tweeted from the gathering of the rich and powerful at Davos:
Many speakers compare 2014 to 1914 when WWI broke out & no one expected it. A black swan in the form of a war between China & Japan?
Both Abe and an influential Chinese analyst don't rule out a military confrontation between China and Japan. Memories of 1914?
Many other economists have forecast war.
Kyle Bass writes:
Trillions of dollars of debts will be restructured and millions of financially prudent savers will lose large percentages of their real purchasing power at exactly the wrong time in their lives. Again, the world will not end, but the social fabric of the profligate nations will be stretched and in some cases torn. Sadly, looking back through economic history, all too often war is the manifestation of simple economic entropy played to its logical conclusion. We believe that war is an inevitable consequence of the current global economic situation.
Larry Edelson wrote an email to subscribers entitled "What the "Cycles of War" are saying for 2013″, which states:
Since the 1980s, I've been studying the so-called "cycles of war" — the natural rhythms that predispose societies to descend into chaos, into hatred, into civil and even international war.
I'm certainly not the first person to examine these very distinctive patterns in history. There have been many before me, notably, Raymond Wheeler, who published the most authoritative chronicle of war ever, covering a period of 2,600 years of data.
However, there are very few people who are willing to even discuss the issue right now. And based on what I'm seeing, the implications could be absolutely huge in 2013.
Former Goldman Sachs technical analyst Charles Nenner – who has made some big accurate calls, and counts major hedge funds, banks, brokerage houses, and high net worth individuals as clients – says there will be "a major war starting at the end of 2012 to 2013", which will drive the Dow to 5,000.
Veteran investor adviser James Dines forecast a war is epochal as World Wars I and II, starting in the Middle East.
Billionaire investor Jim Rogers notes:
A continuation of bailouts in Europe could ultimately spark another world war, says international investor Jim Rogers.
"Add debt, the situation gets worse, and eventually it just collapses. Then everybody is looking for scapegoats. Politicians blame foreigners, and we're in World War II or World War whatever."
Marc Faber says that the American government will start new wars in response to the economic crisis:
- "The next thing the government will do to distract the attention of the people on bad economic conditions is they'll start a war somewhere."
We're in the middle of a global currency war – i.e. a situation where nations all compete to devalue their currencies the most in order to boost exports. And Brazilian president-elect Rousseff said in 2010:
The last time there was a series of competitive devaluations … it ended in world war two.
Jim Rickards agrees:
Currency wars lead to trade wars, which often lead to hot wars. In 2009, Rickards participated in the Pentagon's first-ever "financial" war games. While expressing confidence in America's ability to defeat any other nation-state in battle, Rickards says the U.S. could get dragged into "asymmetric warfare," if currency wars lead to rising inflation and global economic uncertainty.
As does Jim Rogers:
Trade wars always lead to wars.
Martin Armstrong wrote in August:
Our greatest problem is the bureaucracy wants a war. This will distract everyone from the NSA and justify what they have been doing. They need a distraction for the economic decline that is coming.
Armstrong argued last month that war plans against Syria are really about debt and spending:
The Syrian mess seems to have people lining up on Capital Hill when sources there say the phone calls coming in are overwhelmingly against any action. The politicians are ignoring the people entirely. This suggests there is indeed a secret agenda to achieve a goal outside the discussion box. That is most like the debt problem and a war is necessary to relief the pressure to curtail spending.
And given that many influential economists wrongly believe that war is good for the economy … many are overtly or quietly pushing for war.
In addition, historians say that the risk of world war is rising because the U.S. feels threatened by a rising China … and the U.S. government considers economic rivalry to be a basis for war
Moreover, former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan said that the Iraq war was really about oil, and former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill says that Bush planned the Iraq war before 9/11. And see this and this. If that war was for petroleum, other oil-rich countries might be invaded as well.
And the American policy of using the military to contain China's growing economic influence – and of considering economic rivalry to be a basis for war – are creating a tinderbox.
Finally, multi-billionaire investor Hugo Salinas Price says:
What happened to [Libya's] Mr. Gaddafi, many speculate the real reason he was ousted was that he was planning an all-African currency for conducting trade. The same thing happened to him that happened to Saddam because the US doesn't want any solid competing currency out there vs the dollar. You know Gaddafi was talking about a gold dinar.
Indeed, senior CNBC editor John Carney noted:
Is this the first time a revolutionary group has created a central bank while it is still in the midst of fighting the entrenched political power? It certainly seems to indicate how extraordinarily powerful central bankers have become in our era.
Robert Wenzel of Economic Policy Journal thinks the central banking initiative reveals that foreign powers may have a strong influence over the rebels.
This suggests we have a bit more than a ragtag bunch of rebels running around and that there are some pretty sophisticated influences. "I have never before heard of a central bank being created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular uprising," Wenzel writes.
Indeed, some say that recent wars have really been about bringing all countries into the fold of Western central banking.

Another excellent article from George Washington, full of good links to great quotes!
However, I will REPEAT my typical bla, bla, blah that those are grossly underestimating the degree to which the sheer magnitude of the runaway criminal insanity of the ruling classes has been able to postpone the collapse into chaos, while it still constantly builds up a greater pressure to cause that. There is nothing in human history to compare to the development of weapons of mass destruction which are trillions of times more powerful and capable than ever before. Paradoxically, that has, so far, kept the lid on the pressure cooking, while the internal head of steam, of all the potential energy to drive disasters, has been building and building.
It is BECAUSE the established systems are globalized electronic fiat money frauds, backed up by the threats of the force of weapons of mass destruction, that those established systems have been able to stave off collapse into chaos way longer than would otherwise be expected. However, the underlying conditions are automatically getting worse, faster, with an important component of that being that the ruling classes are becoming more criminally insane, while those ruled over are, overall, becoming stupider, rather than overall "waking up." Sure, way more people than ever before are "waking up" to the real roles of the banksters behind the scenes controlling their puppet politicians, BUT, overall, there is a larger group of people who are becoming stupider, while that matches the ruling classes becoming more criminally insane, because the rulers and those ruled are part of one system, and thus, form bookends, or parenthetical brackets, to their system as a whole.
I REPEAT these observations, as particularly relevant, first about foreign affairs:
Making the World Safe for Banksters: Syria In the Cross-hairs
By Ellen Brown, September 5, 2013.
"... Forty percent of banks globally are publicly-owned. They are largely in the BRIC countries—Brazil, Russia, India and China—which house forty percent of the global population. They also escaped the 2008 credit crisis, but they at least made a show of conforming to Western banking rules. This was not true of the "rogue" Islamic nations, where usury was forbidden by Islamic teaching. To make the world safe for usury, these rogue states had to be silenced by other means. Having failed to succumb to economic coercion, they wound up in the crosshairs of the powerful US military. ...
WTO members were induced to sign the agreement by threatening their access to global markets if they refused; and they all did sign, except Brazil. Brazil was then threatened with an embargo; but its resistance paid off, since it alone among Western nations survived and thrived during the 2007-2009 crisis. ...
Among the notorious transactions legalized: Goldman Sachs (where Treasury Secretary Rubin had been Co-Chairman) worked a secret euro-derivatives swap with Greece which, ultimately, destroyed that nation. Ecuador, its own banking sector de-regulated and demolished, exploded into riots. Argentina had to sell off its oil companies (to the Spanish) and water systems (to Enron) while its teachers hunted for food in garbage cans. Then, Bankers Gone Wild in the Eurozone dove head-first into derivatives pools without knowing how to swim–and the continent is now being sold off in tiny, cheap pieces to Germany.
The Holdouts
That was the fate of countries in the WTO ... those that were not in that organization at all, including Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. These seven countries were named by U.S. General Wesley Clark (Ret.) in a 2007 "Democracy Now" interview as the new "rogue states" being targeted for take down after September 11, 2001. He said that about 10 days after 9-11, he was told by a general that the decision had been made to go to war with Iraq. Later, the same general said they planned to take out seven countries in five years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
What did these countries have in common? Besides being Islamic, they were not members either of the WTO or of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). That left them outside the long regulatory arm of the central bankers' central bank in Switzerland. Other countries later identified as "rogue states" that were also not members of the BIS included North Korea, Cuba, and Afghanistan. ..."
Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars
"Energy is recognized as the key to all activity on earth. Natural science is the study of the sources and control of natural energy, and social science, theoretically expressed as economics, is the study of the sources and control of social energy. Both are bookkeeping systems: mathematics. Therefore, mathematics is the primary energy science. And the bookkeeper can be king if the public can be kept ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping. ... In this structure, credit, presented as a pure element called "currency," has the appearance of capital, but is in effect negative capital. Hence, it has the appearance of service, but is in fact, indebtedness or debt. ... if balanced in no other way, will be balanced by the negation of population (war, genocide)... They must eventually resort to war to balance the account, because war ultimately is merely the act of destroying the creditor ... War is therefore the balancing of the system by killing the true creditors (the public ...) the economy has been transformed into a guided missile on target."
Both politics and economics had warfare and militarism at their central core, because the death controls are necessarily the keystone to those systems, or the lynch pin that holds the rest of the components of the social systems together. One of the basic problems has been that success in warfare depended upon deceits, and thus that enabled frauds to become fundamental to finance. The history of the War Kings, creating sovereign states, morphed into the global systems of Fraud Kings operated through international banksters applying the methods of organized crime to dominate the political economy, by persistently working to make sure that the surviving, successful politicians were their puppets, while the masses of muppets would become ever more scientifically brainwashed by the school systems and mass media. (As I said above, that has resulted in the MATCHING runaway insanities of BOTH the rulers and those they rule over.)
During those processes, the biggest bullies' social stories, which are lies, backed up by violence, have been amplified many orders of magnitude by the application of scientific methods and technologies in order to achieve those purposes. However, that bullshit is based on deliberately presenting a Bizarro Mirror World, where everything is shown to be backwards to the way it really is, while very, very few people ever wake up enough to understand that, especially not systematically waking up to how that continues through level after level of lies, where those lies are different at every level.
It is wrong to think that there is any fundamental dichotomy between war and peace. It is wrong to uphold impossible ideals based on that fundamental dichotomy. There are chronic political problems, which have to constantly be resolved, in one way or another. Failure to resolve them better in the short-term means that they will grow bigger, and be resolved in far worse ways in longer term. WE TEND TO THINK ABOUT "WARFARE" BACKWARDS, WHICH MISTAKES GET WORSE AND WORSE, AS THEY ARE AMPLIFIED BY PROGRESS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, WHICH ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE APPLIED TO THE DESIGN SCIENCE PROBLEMS OF SOCIAL SYSTEMS.
The only genuine solutions to our problems are better death controls. The default position is still towards worse death controls. The longer that the established debt slavery systems are enabled to drive their numbers towards debt insanities, then the more that there must eventually be driven more death insanities to result. In that context, I return to my opening comment, that the various quotes presented in this article are from relatively mainstream guys who are right, within their rather old-fashioned frame of reference. However, in fact, our problems are trillions of times worse than ever before in human history, and therefore, we "should" go through profound paradigm shifts in the philosophy of science, which apply to political economy, and militarism, because that is theoretically the most necessary thing we "should" do. However, obviously, that happening in any significant way is practically impossible. (Which is why my bothering to write my kind of bla, bla, blah on these topics is merely done for my own amusement, to pass time, because actually nothing realistic can be done to prevent the runaway social insanities from becoming madder and madder, and thereby eventually destroying themselves on a far greater scale than ever before in human history, after which all bets are off regarding what the future may look like then.)
Not sure how we win if nukes get involved even if you dont get hit. Then again maybe it will just be one big killing game with all participants sworn to not use them? One things for sure we're going to get fucked as usual.
no one wins if nukes are used. MADS. reason they have not been used since Hiro/Nag. barring extremist getting invlolved, war(s) of the developed world would be nuke free (at least that would be the agreement)
What I see is a group of people responsible for just about everything wrong in the world trying to figure out how to deflect blame from them.
If I was president I would have sent a B2 with a JDAM over Davos and leveled the hotel. Imagine the freedom that would result from that act.
War is the result of the tribe enriching themselves at the expense of a livable life for everyone else. A working person can barely afford to heat their house, drive their car, and feed their family because some member of the tribe decided they wanted to make money selling commodity contracts. Because they can not add anything of real value to the economy, they use schemes and banking to fool with currencies. The resulting inflation cripples the average man, the tribesman hopes to increase his worth at a higher rate than the prevailing inflation keeping him wealthy. The S&P was up almost 30%, while real inflation was close to 20%. This nets the tribesman 10%. Of course real wealth gains for the Davos set far eclipse inflation. When you add a couple billion in net worth in a year, $10lb hamburger and $5 a gallon milk are of no concern to you.
The bankers financed WWI and WWII was the result of them extracting what they believed they were owed from the common people. The next war will be the result of the bankers extracting what they believed they were owed from the entire world. Hopefully the next conflict will end their kind once and for all.
"how to deflect blame from them."
The Chinese and Japanese heads of state both have serious economic problems lurking (debt bubble and debt:GDP, respectively). All this saber rattling is likely just a wink wink, nod nod way of deflecting blame from them and distracting their constituencies. If it actually came to blows, I would think it would be like a typical North versus South Korea spat with some gunboat shelling near a meaningless island.
As for Davos, given the huge shift of economic activity from the West to the East, why are we still so concerned about what the people at Davos are plotting? Seems like we should be a lot more concerned about similar gatherings in the East with the men really pulling the strings there. Obsessing over Davos feels as dated as obsessing over Boss Tweed.
Only one thing worse than a nuclear war, loosing a nuclear war.
Note the pumping of China/Japan war which will require USA assist to Japan. Additionally, media has recently villified former petrodollar ally, Saudi Arabia.
YOU should read this from Video Rebel, and then listen to the video of Jim Willie...
This cites a very interesting position about China's strategy regarding the insolvent banks which own shares in the FED. What happens when they go bust? Will CL A controlling shares be bought by China? Why was the Chase building next to the FED bought for only $728M by the Chinese? Was it collateral?
Odds of war, next five years:
1) China vs Japan: 5 to 1
2) China vs Philippines: 2.5 to 1
3) India vs Pakistan: 2.5 to 1 (includes at least one nuke)
4) Thailand vs Thailand: 5 to 4 (If King passes, odds go 10 to 1 no civil war)
5) Russia vs Ukraine: 10 to 3
6) Turkey vs Kurds: 10 to 3
7) US vs Anybody: 40 to 1 (too spent, equipment shortage, personnel shortage)
8) Italy vs Nigeria: 50 to 1
9) Mafia vs Nigerian Immigrants: 3 to 1
10) North Korea vs Four of Five Party Talks: 10 to 1 (unless France cuts off Remy Martin shipments)
From Davos with love
WE have always been at war with ..........
War only replaces one set of problems with another set of problems.
We might see a whole squadron of black swans descending this year and yet a collapse might not happen. And then some black swan happens to be run over at a crossing and then it will be on for young and old.
Forget the timing....concentrate on a reasonable preparation.
"we think this is like when we didn't think about war" ... duh ? the mere fact you're expecting it demonstrate the opposite !
Well those Central Bankers, the MIC, and their toadies in government would just love to send the kids off to a war versus a civil war to enact individual liberty and sound money.
Mostly an echo chamber accept Martin Armstron (read it again above): I'd say he nailed it. Furthermore, its likely to be a huge, ugly false flag. I'll say it but only in the hope that they will not proceed, Superbowl.
We're being fed ... black widow in Sochi Olympics bla bla bla
New show "Intelligence" about an all-knowing operative plugged into a super jazzy NSA whose pilot episode in the first 10 minutes says "Superbowl Bombing."
Don't forget "The Lone Gunmen" episode that predicted 911.
On the Sochi note, if TPTB weren't looking for justification for tightening controls why else would the host city for the Olympics be held in such close proximity to the Chechen Republic? With a host city like that they're almost guaranteed a good tactical sideshow.
But didn't President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize innoculate the USA from war and such? Or was that some PR spin-stunt-scam?
the rothchilds et all got filthy rich in the century after ww1, they want another, sure they do
yeah those evil RedShields...of course there was Baron Guy...Joined the war after the Vichys govt kicked him out for being a jew and took his bank away, then spent 12 hours swimming in the N Atlantic (when his troop ship sunk) before making it to GB from whence he went to fight again in France, captured by zee Germans and escaped to fight again.
After the war Mitterand took his bank away because he was not a commie.
aside from those smalll acts of patriotism for France yeah...it was all about the money.
there may be a war between China and Japan but it will be an Falklands style war over some islands which have no importance. great humiliation for China with a following economic collapse, and rebound. still
- "The next thing the government will do to distract the attention of the people on bad economic conditions is they'll start a war somewhere."
Maybe game theory has started to show that as a losing proposition. Suspect the really intelligent and connected people at Davos have held some 0.000001 percent level meetings about it.
Davos is marketing. They only announce the shit that has already been decided.
Do you really think that if this crowd is conspiratorial, they would hold such a meeting at this event? Would you?
Exactly. This the the "closed-door crowd" in action, and they know exactly what they are showing you, likely in more ways than one.
+ 8B uninformed sheeple
If they are there boozin and schoozin together, why not?
Besides, they are shitting their pants about Fukushima and don't want any more part of any of that kind of thing so suspect everyone will chill for a while and live and let live as best can be.
One of their biggest issues is to try to figure out how to repurpose the idle youth, or rather find purpose for them. Hard labor and less wage is looking unattractive, but it's also looking structural.
So which is it...they have .000000001 chance of meeting or they are all drunk and say, "What the fuck, let's talk about our global takeover while we're here having a good time?"
As for Fukushima, they don't seem so worried that they stopped building NPPs all over the place.
Lastly, "live and let live?" When has any powerful and corrupt enterprise ever said, "You know what, we don't need any more power or wealth. Let's all just live and let live?"
I think your rose-colored glasses have a smudge on them.
And there are tears in my eyes too, but that's another matter.
Davos is simply marketing! - The real decisions I think are made at Bilderberg.
Japan Today-Abe sees World War I echoes in Japan-China tensions
"Prime Minister Shinzo Abe compared current tensions between Japan and China to rivalry between Britain and Germany on the eve of World War I..."
And the meme spreads.
"Former Goldman Sachs technical analyst Charles Nenner – who has made some big accurate calls, and counts major hedge funds, banks, brokerage houses, and high net worth individuals as clients – says there will be "a major war starting at the end of 2012 to 2013", which will drive the Dow to 5,000."
Um ... that didn't happen ?
Yes, you never about the batting averages of these prophets. It's like saying a baseball player, "got some hits."
When you take a closer look at a lot of these guys, all of them nearly without exception either inherited their stake and a LOT of connections, or else went big and went long on one major call using a borrowed or scrounged stake and hit it out of the park, and then from their notoriety developed good connections. A lot of them are smart and most of them take well-calculated risks, but most of them aren't much more infallible than the average reader here.
I don't think there's a single person in all of finance that could make a call that I'd bet everything on. There are just too many unknowns, and while many of them are known unknowns, there are some unknown unknowns that will spank us all in the ass sooner or later. Probably sooner.
So I should go.all in stocks.....come.on!
Roubini isn't saying anything new.
And all the other quotes here are aged, ... damn aged,...
So from one little tweet is an entire narrative,
Most likely just the opposite, everybody is broke, who will finance the war?
I think the real wild-card would be the MUSLIMS strike back,... if you look at all the war going down, its the WORLD fucking the MUSLIM and they never fight back,
A real interestng monkey-rich would be a black-swan from the muslim,
The entire AIPAC war mongering is fucking boring, and generals told OBAMA no way to SYRIA, ...
Look for a 911, and then the USA or CHINA will react or maybe even RUSSIA? With the SOCHIA thing, it would be interesting if the CIA could provode PUTIN to do something stupid, ...
SYRIA was you all know is about ISRAEL/SAUDI oil transactions, and the obstacle is GAZPROM(russia),
China is smart, and JAPAN is a mess, but RUSSIA has the ability to react, ... this way the USA/AIPAC could make ISRAEL happy, and also the USA could fuck PUTIN over SNOWDEN.
Who was fucking who when the Fallible and Uninspired Talibani/MUSLIM were blowing out the brains of women that dared to wear squeaky shoes?
Maybe China will target the oligarchs behind the China Sea grab instead of the Japanese land mass. Or maybe no one told them of that possibility yet and they haven't figured it out.
Or maybe they're in on the whole thing. Japan, too.
The Chinese are the Jews of Asia, the JAPS are the Nazi's.
Never Forget is ingrained in the Chinese mind.
Of course in JAPAN, the CHINESE are the 'pigs' of Asia.
If anybody does the attack, it would be the JAP's, but as we know for now the nationalism isn't there but it could come, and going after the Chinese gold just might make it worth it, but the USA really castrated the JAPS, ... it would take a real 1920's-1930's MIL build-up to have a credible fight with china.
He should know being a member of the "tribe"
We believe that war is an inevitable consequence of the current global economic situation.
So do we.
War is Inevitable? We have a choice. Getting off foreign oil is a choice. I simply shifted from a Honda Accord to a Honda Civic Hybrid and save about 40% of the gas I used to consume. I'm negotiating a contract now that would offshore some technical work. I am going to push to choose to "buy American" technical labor, instead. That corporate choice would give work to recent college grads who are living in their parents' basement. I think we have more choices than we admit and the thought that "war is inevitable" shows a human tendency to needlessly narrow our options down the rat hole of extinction.... Thoughts?
What is the current global economic situation or better the ecomomic problem? Too much debt! The state of war gives governments the power to suspend of the rule of law, where the primary goal is not to fight an enemy but eleminate their obligation to service government debt to domestic and foreign creditors.
Economists think war is good for the economy. I suggest we conscript them all and they can do their part in it.
may they all enlist to do the duty thing
and die first.
Roubini, the Oracle of Doom. Got bored with bashing Goldbugs and now suddenly acknowledges the early 20th century analogy while sipping hot twitties in the visitor's lounge of the World Economic Forum.
How sensational!
Fringe lunatic low brows such as all of us can learn so much from him...

The Department of Urban Planning is continuing a research exchange agreement with China's leading urban planning agency, the China Academy of Urban Planning and Design (CAUPD). Under this agreement the Department of Urban Planning hosts seven to ten managers and senior staff from CAUPD each year. These visiting affiliates attend courses on physical planning and urban design and audit and participate in other classes offered by the UCLA Department of Urban Planning.
This year's class of affiliates includes: Zhenyu Chen, Wei Huang, Jiawen Wang, Jingquan Xu, Hua Yan, Wei Yu and Juan Zhang. Faculty mentors meet regularly with the affiliates to discuss issues related to their course of study at UCLA. This year's faculty mentors are Urban Planning Professors Vinit Mukhija, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Randall Crane, and Rui Wang.
The intent of the program is to foster a long and productive relationship between the professional and academic planning communities of UCLA and CAUPD and between China and the United States.
As an additional part of this exchange program, the CAUPD provides scholarships for Urban Planning MA students to work in China. Students are selected to work in Beijing with the staff of the CAUPD for up to three months between June and December and they may travel elsewhere in China depending on the projects they work on. Projects may be in developed or undeveloped regions of China, in a metropolis or small town, including rural areas. The country has about 100 cities with populations over a million, all growing and transforming rapidly. The students may earn independent study course credit and room and board is provided by the CAUPD.

Differences Between Engineering and Engineering Technology Degree Programs
Students who are considering technical careers may be unfamiliar with engineering technology or may misunderstand its relationship to engineering. Engineering technology programs emphasize the practical application of mathematical, scientific and engineering principles while engineering programs emphasize the theoretical study of the same mathematical, scientific and engineering principles. Neither program is inherently superior to the other and both programs effectively prepare graduates for productive careers and for further study in graduate school.
Joseph Reutzel earned a degree in electrical engineering technology.
"The hands-on training I got was very impressive," he said.
From an educational standpoint, the measure of any undergraduate curriculum in engineering or engineering technology is its accreditation by ABET. This body accredits engineering technology programs through its Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission and engineering programs through its Engineering Accreditation Commission.
The baccalaureate programs in civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering technology at Point Park University are accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org).
In the workplace, career paths for engineering and engineering technology graduates are on the whole very similar. (In fact, surveys have shown that some companies prefer to employ engineering technology graduates for their strong practical skills in technology, communication, and collaboration.) Under the laws of most states, including the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a graduate of either an engineering or engineering technology program is eligible for licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) after gaining the requisite experience and taking the prescribed examinations.

This article below just BLOWS my mind. I find if anything right now people are doing the best they can to get by, I know I am. The fact that this man is alluding to the fact that we're making up financial woes in a way to complain is beyond me. How in the world can someone look at the statistics and say this? The price of gas is..well...I don't have to tell you. The price of food is through the roof. People are losing their jobs, I've seen this in my own family. Companies are having to make dramatic cutbacks. Airlines are jacking up the price of everything, for goodness sake we now have to PAY money just to take our bags!
I actually feel bad for Senator John McCain in this instance, because apparently his camp didn't have anything to do with this..and just so I don't get jumped on here I have not yet decided who I'm voting for in the Presidential election. The problem, as in many elections is that I like some things both candidates have to say and don't like some things as well.
Regardless of who takes office next year, I think the person in charge of leading this country needs to be aware that there is a serious economic crunch right now. I don't think the media is over glorifying it either..we're not making it up that people of all ages are struggling. Now, I understand this doesn't apply to everyone. Some who are comfortable enough to survive comfortably may not feel the pinch as much, but they're still paying 4 dollars a gallon for gas and I'm sorry, I don't care who you are or how much money you have...you're going to step up and take notice or at least do a double take. Perhaps Mr. Gramm doesn't drive!
(CNN) -- Phil Gramm, a top adviser to Sen. John McCain, on Thursday stood by his comment that the country is in a "mental recession," and said he was trying to say the nation's leaders, not its people, were "whiners."
Democrats blasted Gramm, who advises presumed Republican nominee McCain on economic matters, for saying Americans who have named the economy as a top concern this campaign cycle were "a nation of whiners."
McCain forcefully repudiated the remarks while campaigning in Michigan, which has the highest unemployment rate in the nation.
The comments came in a Washington Times interview published Thursday.
"We have sort of become a nation of whiners. You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline," said the former Texas senator. "You've heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession." Gramm also said the media was responsible for fostering unnecessary anxiety over the state of the economy. "Misery sells newspapers," he said. "Thank God the economy is not as bad as you read in the newspaper every day."
A McCain campaign source said that not only did Gramm not speak to the Washington Times on McCain's behalf, but the campaign also did not know he was doing it -- unlike Gramm's meeting Thursday with the Wall Street Journal, in which McCain staff were present.

Since Java 1.4 doesn't have enums I'm am doing something like this:
public class SomeClass {
public static int SOME_VALUE_1 = 0;
public static int SOME_VALUE_2 = 1;
public static int SOME_VALUE_3 = 2;
public void receiveSomeValue(int someValue) {
// do something
The caller of receiveSomeValue should pass one those 3 values but he can pass any other int. If it were an enum the caller could only pass one valid value.
Should receiveSomeValue throw an InvalidValueException?
What are good alternatives to Java 5 enums?

Jack R. Welch's Replication of John Bedini's Simplified 'School Girl' Motor and Battery Energizer
- Brief Description
- Replication accomplished approximately two week prior to Nov. 15, 2004. Has applied magnets of 2x size; tried different transistors to match.
quoting from:
1. Doubled size of magnets=blew 3055s and diodes.
2. wound a close wound coil and installed it around the S.G.coil hooked in parrelel with S.G.coil=blew all components (lots of energy there).
3. installed duel 3055s in parrelel =blew all components,the roter compltly locked up befre they blew.
4. Installed 5600uf 450V cap. across charging ckt. at batt. drew a vary big arc. lots of energy I dont know what kind but am going to find out!.
Thanks to all involved in this programe.

Maria Carreiro of Toronto thought she had won big bucks in last week's Lotto Max drawing. She checked her numbers at a machine where she bought the ticket and thought she won $40,000. When she asked the clerk and manager to double-check her numbers they seemed confused, so Maria said, "Never mind, I'll go home." When she told her daughter she won $40,000, the teen naturally jumped for joy — then decided to double-check the numbers online. That's when Maria discovered she'd actually won 40-million. After one last run to the store to scan her ticket and verify, she called up her husband — who then quit his job.
You may recall the story of a British hamster that rose from the dead on Easter Sunday. Lisa Kilbourne-Smith and boyfriend James Davis (of Painswick, England) were taking care of Tink the hamster while friends were out of town and they discovered the day before Easter that the animal was not moving. But they discovered the next morning that Tink had eaten her way out of her paper casket, dug out of her shallow grave and took shelter in a nearby box to protect herself from freezing temperatures. Now a veterinarian said the hamster's Easter resurrection can be attributed to the animal going into a hibernation state, which is often mistaken for death among hamster owners.

Dear Matt Lech,
I would like to respond to your article, "Religious Thinking Worthless in Politics," in which you bash Governor Perry for suggesting that the theory of evolution has some gaps in it. You expressed how scary it is that this man with "middle-school ignorance" could become the leader of the free world. You said, "evolution and climate change are established science" and that members of the Republican party who hold other views are "championing empirically false beliefs."
As I ponder your article I could mention how several accomplished scientists such as Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez, whose work has contributed to the discovery of several planets, argue that the universe was intelligently designed. I could mention how Dr. Antonino Zichichi, former President of the European Physical Society and discoverer of nuclear anti-matter, says global warming models are "incoherent and invalid." I don't think that either of these men are suffering from "middle-school ignorance." I could mention how many of the great leaders of our country's history have held to the "empirically false belief" that there is a God. In fact the Declaration of Independence says "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights." That document was penned by the same Thomas Jefferson whom you quoted in your article.
I could go into more depth with these arguments but the main fiber of your article that I wish to respond to is your attitude of fear at the thought of our country having a leader who doubts the theory of evolution. I find the thought of a staunch evolutionist leading our country to be infinitely more scary than a leader who dares to believe in God. Evolution says that humanity as we know it is a result of billions of years of cosmic accidents. We humans are no more than a pile of hydrogen that miraculously developed through mysterious natural processes and the purifying power of natural selection. There is no ornate value in humankind because it is a result of the same processes that made a spider a spider and a pig a pig. Survival of the fittest is a catalyst of evolution. Weaker life forms die out and are overtaken by higher life forms that have developed. There is a strong case to be made that Hitler just took Darwin's theory to its philosophical end. He was merely weeding out those whom he deemed to be weaker life forms. Yet you find it scary when a politician questions evolution.
On the other hand there is faith in God as the Creator of the universe. He spoke it into existence with His Word and every aspect of it is was intricately designed by Him. As the crown of His creation, He formed human kind. Each human being has value, no matter how healthy, or strong, or old they are because God made them in His image. People are not the result of billions of years of chance; rather they have ornate value because they are valued by their Creator.
What motivation does the evolutionary theory provide to be concerned for the weak and endangered of society if its primary doctrine is the survival of the strong? I will gladly vote for a candidate who is willing to challenge this destructive theory. I will gladly vote for a candidate who will view each one of the citizens of his country as valuable individuals created by God.

After doing some searching, it seems that my question is pretty popular on this site...nevertheless, I need some advice!
I've been riding an old M50 by Raleigh for years and years and would like to upgrade to something with a little more speed. I ride 6 miles to work on roads, bike paths and a few sidewalks. Occasionally I do ride on some grass/dirt trails but could keep my M50 if need be for those rare occasions.
I test rode the Diamondback insight 2 and seemed to like it, what types of bikes are similar and in that $400-600 price range?
I'm 6'1" about 165 pounds.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Jane Campion is the only female director to have ever won the Cannes Film Festival's most prestigious prize, the Palme d'Or (for 1993's "The Piano"). The prize is an honor she clearly holds in great esteem, having agreed to head this year's jury and having presided over the shorts jury in 2013. Still, the distinction is one that bothers her. When the moderator at today's Cannes jury press conference addressed Campion as "Lady Palme," the filmmaker appeared visibly uncomfortable.
Campion elaborated on her grimace midway through the conference in this key quote, during which she called out the "inherent sexism in the industry." Read it in full below:
"... There is some inherent sexism in the industry. Thierry Frémaux told us that us only seven percent, out of the 1,800 films submitted to the Cannes Film Festival, were directed by women. He was proud to say that we had 20 percent in all of the programs. Nevertheless, it feels very undemocratic, and women do notice. Time and time again we don't get our share of representation. Excuse me gentlemen, but the guys seem to eat all the cake. It's not that I resent the male filmmakers. I love all of them. But there is something that women are thinking of doing that we don't get to know enough about. It's always a surprise when a woman filmmaker does come about."

On Plot
The plot, then, is the first principle, and, as it were, the soul of a tragedy; Character holds the second place. A similar fact is seen in painting. The most beautiful colors, laid on confusedly, will not give as much pleasure as the chalk outline of a portrait. Thus Tragedy is the imitation of an action, and of the agents mainly with a view to the action.
As with narrative, when I hear artists bemoan plot, I see confusion. Just as you cannot create a theatrical work devoid of narrative, you can not create one without plot.
Something happens onstage. Another thing happens. There is a series of events. Recounting/performing these events for an audience, is narrative. The order the events are recounted in, the arrangement and order of how the events and actions are performed is the plot.
I know it is often confused with Aristotilian-based theatre traditions. Plot is often conflated with the classical unities, mixed and rehashed as the well-made play a la Eugène Scribe, William Archer, and George Pierce Baker. Plot is often confused with realism or naturalism. None of these are accurate. Plot is a simple thing.
Aristotle in his Poetics tries to define perfection in poetry, perfection in tragedy. He makes subjective aesthetic choices about how plots should be constructed. How the pieces should be arranged, from what sources, etc. As to what plot is:
You can't remove plot from performance, just as you can't remove narrative. Narrative is the recounting of events-the pieces; Plot is how those pieces are arranged. Plot is the thread that ties the various pieces together to become a play. There are numerous combinations that can be crafted from infinite sources, depending on your aesthetic and cultural preferences; however, no works are free from plot or narrative. They are merely particles of performance.

SEATTLE (AP) — Police say a man and an elderly woman have been found dead at a Seattle assisted living facility in what may be a murder-suicide.
In a statement, police say they were told by the man's family Friday afternoon that he had left his home, indicating he was thinking about suicide. Relatives said in a second call that the man might be headed for his elderly mother's assisted living facility with plans to harm her.
Police say that as officers headed to the facility, staff there checked the woman's room and found the bodies of a man and an elderly woman.
The bodies were not immediately identified.
Homicide detectives are investigating.

took office in the UK is expected to total more than one billion pounds.
After 2015, the contribution of Britain's technical expertise to development programmes in India will cost an estimated one tenth of the current total aid budget to the country.
As existing grants are phased out, the government expects to save around 200 million pounds over the next three years.
Greening's announcement is likely to be seen as a sign that Britain intends to cut aid to wealthier nations, including those that are preparing to enter the EU, and focus instead on the poorest countries.
She told the Conservative conference last month: "We should recognise that as countries get richer, we need to be responsible about how we transition in our relationship with them from aid to trade."
The Prime Minister has pledged to spend 0.7 per cent of national income on development programmes abroad and the budget will be worth 12.6 billion pounds by 2014.
This commitment will not be affected by today's announcement and officials said money saved from aid to India was likely to be spent on development schemes in poorer parts of the world.

American Horror Story: Coven Preview — See Misty Dance With Stevie!
Something wicked this way comes — our first new installment of American Horror Story: Coven in weeks, Episode 10: "The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks," which airs tonight at 10 p.m. on FX.
True to its name, tonight's chapter features the Fleetwood Mac singer embracing her supernatural reputation and playing a witch version of herself, summoned by Fiona (Jessica Lange) to help Misty embrace her Supreme heir apparent status.
In the preview — viewable at E! Online — Stevie finishes an impromptu performance in the Robichaux parlor as the coven witches watch.
"That was amazing!" Madison enthuses, stepping forward.
"Thank you, honey," says Stevie.
"She wrote it in ten minutes," Misty informs Madison. "She heard the name Rhiannon, she got inspired, sat down, wrote a song."
She turns to her idol: "I know everything about you."
"I'm honored, Misty," Stevie responds. "Thank you."
Misty asks if she got Stevie's signature shawl twirl right, and Stevie gives her a little tutorial — with Misty's hilariously spinning right into Madison.
As Fiona looks on, smiling, Stevie wraps one of her magical delights around Misty's shoulders: "So, this shawl has danced across the stages of the world, and now it's yours … and good luck with the Seven Wonders."
Consider us drooling for more! Episode 10 airs tonight, January 8, at 10 p.m. on FX.

Eccles don't have enough players to make up seperate u11's and u12's teams so they combine both age groups. This meant the Wids boys were up against some players that could have been nearly 2 years older than them, and they faced this challenge head on.
Widnes kicked off and instantly pounced on an error from the Eccles full back, the visiting pack piling into the first ruck and then being forced back as the well drilled Eccles forwards counter rucked and retrieved the ball, clearing the lines with a well placed kick.
There then followed a pattern of play which was to be repeated again and again as the two teams attempted to blow each other way with huge hits in the tackles and expansive running from the backs which was met with strong and determined defence.
The Wids started to get on top, their pack giving the older Eccles opponents trouble in the scrums and lineouts and the backs (being marshelled at scrum half by Sam Freeman and at stand off by Callum O'Connor) starting to make in roads into the Eccles backfield.The visitors then put together seven phases of play combining forwards and backs which gave Jamie Patent the opportunity to dive over and score the first try of the game. Freeman converted and the Wids were seven nil up at half time.
The interval gave the coaching staff the time required to make a few changes with Matthew Tyrell moving to scrum half and Freeman and O'Connor moving back to their usual positions of Stand off and inside centre respectively. The team also welcomed back Mark Hughes who returned to playing after a long absence due to injury and he took his place on the wing. Within minutes he had confirmed his return with a fearless tackle on one of the biggest Eccles players.
The second half started in exactly the same way as the first with both teams colliding with each other in hard hitting play. Widnes started to get on top more and more as they started to effectively deal with the very aggresive Eccles team at the break down with John and Adam Brett putting their size and strength to good use and the quicker but no less impressive Josh Boughey and Adam Maddison making themselves a nuisance at rucks, quickly breaking away to get to the Eccles backs before they could get any momentum golng. George McGarvey yet again came up with the ball at the mauls when the home team took it in and it was this type of play that led to the Wids second try.
The forwards chased down another good kick from the backs clearing their lines and this gave Jamie Patent the opportunity to pick up and drive over for five more points converted to seven by Freeman.
Eccles then put in some determined work and would have scored several times if it wasn't for great defensive work from the Widnes team, but eventually they home team crashed over from a penalty from ten yards out.
There were only two minutes left to play after the successful conversion during which the visitors put in the tackles and defensive work to force the home team back into their own half. This meant the Wids finished the game on the front foot and driving towards the Eccles try line with the ever impressive Evan Bullen leading the charge.
Again a great all round performance from the team contributed to a great fourteen to seven win and the coaching staff and parents came away from the Eccles ground knowing what a stern test the team had just passed with flying colours. Gary and Paul would like to thank all the parents and Widnes team members for their time and efforts today and also our thanks to coach John and his team from Eccles for their warm welcome tand a very competitive match.

|Lady Dragons first in softball pool with 4-1 weekend
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Showing huge improvements offensively, the Lady Dragon softball team went 4-1, finishing first in its pool at the Burlington tournament Sept. 10-11.
Kicking off the tourney with a 10-0 shutout over Faith Christian, the Dragons went on to take two more huge wins: 18-3 over Machebeuf and 31-1 over St. Mary's on Friday.
In Saturday action, the local girls shut out Weld Central 15-0 before falling to Lyons 1-13.
In addition to the offensive effort, coach Ashley Clayton noted there were several strong outings on the mound by Jordan Zeiler and Alyssa Killin.
Upcoming action for the Dragons includes a varsity doubleheader at Akron Saturday, Sept. 18, starting at 10 a.m. A JV doubleheader with Wray and Yuma will be played in Wray Tuesday, Sept. 21.
Holyoke 10, Faith Christian 0
Coach Clayton was pleased the girls were able to play a strong game against Faith Christian out of Arvada to start the tournament off with a 10-0 win.
Zeiler did a fantastic job on the mound, commended Clayton. She faced 20 batters, had one strike-out and four walks.
The Dragons managed two runs in the first inning and eight in the second and ended the game after four innings due to the 10-run rule.
Makenzie Ault was one for two on offense with a triple; Zeiler, one for two with a double and three RBIs; Karci Lockwood, one for three with two RBIs and a stolen base; Macey Pierce, two for three with an RBI; and Marci Vasa, one for one with an RBI.
Holyoke 18, Machebeuf 3
Killin pitched a strong game in Holyoke's 18-3 win over Bishop Machebeuf, a Denver school. She faced 22 batters, striking out three and walking five.
"Holyoke showed once again that they are strong throughout the entire line-up and have the ability to put up 18 runs," said coach Clayton.
Both teams scored two in the first inning, with Holyoke adding five in the second, six in the third and five in the fourth. Machebeuf's final run came in the third.
Ault was two for two in hitting for the Dragons, with a home run and a triple, was walked once, had three RBIs and two stolen bases.
Pierce was two for two with a triple and two stolen bases; Vasa, one for one, one RBI and two stolen bases; Lockwood, one for two and an RBI; and Chandler Gerk, one for two and an RBI.
Holyoke 31, St. Mary's 1
Holyoke's 31-1 win over St. Mary's Academy in Englewood provided the opportunity for the entire team to get an at-bat or play in the field, said coach Clayton.
She commended the girls for continuing to play at their own level of play rather than dropping down to the level of their opponent.
Zeiler again took the win on the mound, facing 20 batters in four innings. She struck out eight batters and walked four.
Zeiler, Laura Gerk, Pierce, Ault and Lockwood all had three hits in the ball game. Ault hit a triple and a double, while Gerk, Pierce and Lockwood each had a double.
Vasa had two hits including a triple and a double and Chandler Gerk had two singles for the Dragons. Also earning singles for HHS were Catrina Krueger, Brooke Parker and Marlee Boehm.
Zeiler led in RBIs with six; Lockwood four; Vasa and Laura Gerk, three each; Pierce and Chandler Gerk, two each; and Ault and Boehm, one apiece.
Laura Gerk, Ault, Lockwood and Boehm each had a stolen base.
Holyoke 15, Weld Central 0
Zeiler pitched her third full game in the tourney with a 15-0 shut-out win over the Weld Central team. She had three strike-outs in the game and walked one batter.
Coach Clayton said it was nice to see the girls play tough against Weld Central, a team who almost snuck up and beat them in league play last year.
"This game provided another opportunity for more than just the starters to play, which is key to building our softball program," added Clayton.
Holyoke managed 12 runs in the first inning against Weld Central, and the Rebels were never able to recover. Adding two more second-inning runs and one in the third, the Dragons claimed the 15-0 victory.
Pierce and Parker each had a triple in the Weld Central game, while Vasa hit a double and singles were recorded by Krueger, Ault and Killin.
Vasa had three RBIs, while Parker had two and Killin, Chandler Gerk and Boehm each had one. Pierce, Ault, Lockwood, Zeiler, Chandler Gerk and Boehm each stole one base.
Holyoke 1, Lyons 13
After playing four games, the Dragons seemed to have run out of gas, said coach Clayton.
HHS jumped out to score the first run, but the Dragon defense allowed 10 Lyons runs in the bottom of the first. The Lions added three more in the fourth inning to take the 13-1 win.
Zeiler took the loss on the mound, with one strike-out and 12 walks.
Vasa hit a double in the game, while Ault had two singles and Lockwood and Boehm each had a single. Ault had one stolen base, as well.
