Former head of CBO (and current Obama budget director) Orzag member of JournoList
But, so what? No conflict of interest there. Right Ezra?:
Journolist is meant to serve a very specific purpose that's actually related to my experience building this blog. The work of this site has always been to illuminate standard political reporting with expert policy commentary. In that, I've been helped by the many experts who have adopted the medium as their own: Mark Thoma, Brad DeLong, Paul Krugman, Matthew Holt, Peter Orszag, Andrew Gelman, Larry Bartels, Dani Rodrik, John Sides, among others. As a journalist, it's hard to always know who to call or which questions to ask. The joy of those blogs is that I don't have to guess what experts think is important: They simply explain what they think is important and I can use, or follow-up on, the information.
But as NRO's Mark Hemingway notes:
And therein lies the problem. Ezra's trying to say, "What's the big deal? Lots of people discuss stuff over email, message boards etc." If explicitly liberal bloggers, activists and policy wonks want to want to get together several times a week and burn black candles and perform obscure magick rituals to converse with FDR from beyond the grave, that's fine with me. But when supposedly objective journalists or, worse yet, people such as Peter Orzag who until recently was the head of the Congressional Budget Office, participate in their shennanigans and at the very least fail to disclose it, then I have a problem.
I would like to think that journalists whose credibility rests on working for publications that represent themselves as objective news outlets as well as very influential civil-service employees would see the problem in granting exclusive access to people with a specific political agenda. Even the appearance that the news, let alone actual policies that affect all Americans, are being shaped disproportionately by reporters and unelected civil servants in the thrall of ideological crusaders is a problem. To some extent I can't fault the list's overtly liberal members for trying to get in even better with the press and policymakers than they already are, but if Klein and others on the list want to sluff off the questions here by saying "what's the big deal?" — well, that's a problem too.
Well, you'd think so.
But let's face it: the mainstream press has, in many cases, given up even the appearance of objectivity and have become instead "advocacy" journalists. That their "advocacy" is almost entirely in support of the progressive agenda is just, like, a coincidence.
So what should be a big deal really isn't all that much of a big deal, at least not to the ideologues involved.
Oh. And also, HOW DARE YOU QUESTION OUR PATRIOTISM!
Luckily, there seems to be a market remedy…

I will say this much for the left, though. They at least try to make use of people like Ezra or Matt Yglesias.
Here, if you don't wear your hair like a starched bundt cake and agitate for the GOP, well, best of luck.
This seems like a pretty big deal to us.
Orszag is currently Obama's budget director who is agitating to end the filibuster even on legislation (gee, you think he got the idea to do this via Journolist???0
The White House budget director said Tuesday that the Obama administration may take advantage of a rarely used congressional rule that would strip Republicans of their filibuster power to get some controversial proposals through the Senate by simple majorities.
Peter Orszag told
reportersfellow JournoList™ members that the White House would prefer not to use the "reconciliation†process, which allows measures to pass on simple majority votes, a tactic that's being considered for global-warming and health-care proposals.
We also note that this Orszag guy is now the White House Budget director. http://hotair.com/archives/2009/03/17/nuclear-option-back-on-the-table-obama-going-after-filibusters/ Sorry for out lack of link-fu. We are unsophisticated clod-hoppers after all.
Topsecretk9 who noticed this before any of us is way ahead of us. Good.

two words, Jeff: Oliver Willis
On the plus side, think of all the character-building experiences you've had over the past three-to-four years while blogging as a classical liberal, all the "if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger" moments by being aligned with the right instead of selling your soul to the left … what is money compared to that?
~ cough ~
agitate for the GOP
Seriously. That crap's just gotta go. Who cares about a party? For some it's just like the home town sports team (I'll confess to a touch of this myself). But who cares what color uniform somebody's wearing if there doing all of the wrong things? What matters is preserving our freedoms and liberties. None of the clowns we've had in office have been up to that, frankly. And too many, especially now, seem to have been working actively against it.
"But let's face it: the mainstream press has, in many cases, given up even the appearance of objectivity and have become instead "advocacy†journalists. That their "advocacy†is almost entirely in support of the progressive agenda is just, like, a coincidence."
You don't mention the timeline origin of this advocacy. Perhaps you remember the runup to the Iraq war? Yes, they are GroupThinkers who succor the popular POV. But now they gore YOUR ox….Pity.
I wonder if Cass Sustein, the new head of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, is a member of the JournoList. Seems like he'd fit right in:
"A system of limitless choices, with respect to communications, is not necessarily in the interest of citizenship and self-government. Democratic efforts to reduce the resulting problems ought not to be rejected in freedom's name."
And Semen checks in from Pluto.
Bye, Semen. See you in a week.
ou don't mention the timeline origin of this advocacy. Perhaps you remember the runup to the Iraq war? Yes, they are GroupThinkers who succor the popular POV. But now they gore YOUR ox….Pity.
Cleo, on the VERY off chance that you actually have a point, spit it out. I'm too tired to untangle your nonsense.
ere, if you don't wear your hair like a starched bundt cake and agitate for the GOP, well, best of luck.
Fuck the GOP. They need to buck up if they want my vote in the future. I can't believe they're allowing all this AIG bullshit to dominate the airwaves.
And, forgive me if this has come up, but WTF is up with Obamama appearing on Leno this week. Has the world gone made.
There is so much grist for the mill … and it's being squandered.
Whatever bitches. I need the juice-box boy to get me a beer.
"I'm too tired to untangle your nonsense."
Then join the lazy layers of our beloved Press Corp. GroupThink requires less energy and stamina.
I can't believe they're allowing all this AIG bullshit to dominate the airwaves
How do you mean? I've had some thoughts on this myself. I'm curious what your thoughts are.
I want to be "made". Being a mob lawyer would kind of take all of the pressure off.
Look, I remember the run-up to the Iraqi war. I also remember that they actually "covered" the protests. So, remind me how they were uncritical of our president?
The entire AIG bonus was the "ONLY" news I heard all freakin day. Drop in the bucket $$-wise in comparison to everything that has been going on. It is a huge fucking distraction … from Obama's falling numbers … from his asinine idea regarding military health care … regarding his runnning this entire country into the poor house.
But, what is everyone focusing on today? Those FUCKING AIG guys. It is not that important.
"remind me how they were uncritical of our president?"
Laxy layer………….cluck, cluck
Yea, I figured you didn't have much Cleo. Kinda like that Kathy chick over at the other blog.
You know, Plastic Jesus might want to be careful about stirring up mob action. Such things have a tendency to…backfire.
Of course, he's utterly ignorant of history and too fucking stupid to know it.
Yeah, I mostly agree. But Obama can still takes a political hit on this. Or rather, he does in the short run. He might gain, in the long run, if he "takes action". In more ways than one, too. Or maybe I'm getting paranoid (but not without reason, since they really are out to get me).
He's not stupid, but vain.
Spies, if the teleprompter tells him to stir up mob action, what choice does he have?
Gotta disagree with you, there, Patrick. The man simply isn't very smart.
Oh, he's glib. Has a winning smile. Can deliver a speech if someone else writes it for him (or put his name on a book that someone else has written), but he's fundamentally not a bright man.
Bill Clinton was sociopathic but smart. Obama is sociopathic and dumb as a fucking post.
He's the culmination of the "self esteem" movement.
God save us all.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's the brightest bulb in the merry-go-round, I just don't think he's actually stupid.
Ah, but OUTLAWs do have such a place, a secret mailing list where we can disseminate information.
38, 11, 19, the fat man sleeps alone
Intelligent men don't end up in the narrow uneducated ideological state that Obama is in Patrick, how could they? I see no signs of intellectual curiosity in the man at all. His evident ignorance of the history of the country he pretends to lead tells volumes.
but WTF is up with Obamama appearing on Leno this week.
He's a late night joke.
"I see no signs of intellectual curiosity in the man at all. His evident ignorance of the history of the country he pretends to lead tells volumes."
OMG!!!! What a fuckin' riot. Short-term memory is not even history yet, asshole…..!
Townhouse JournoListâ"¢ echo chamber at work..I guess they had to spitball this one around a little bit this morning…
Glenn Greenwald / Salon:NEW!
The dishonest "Blame Dodd†scheme from Treasury officials — There is a major push underway — engineered by Obama's Treasury officials, enabled by a mindless media, and amplified by the right-wing press — to blame Chris Dodd for the AIG bonus payments. That would be perfectly fine if it were true.
+Discussion: Think Progress and FOXBusiness.com
Jane Hamsher / Firedoglake:
Treasury Attempts to "Blame Dodd†for AIG Bonuses — As Geithner tries to get out of the way of the AIG bonus train wreck, it looks like the designated sin eater is going to be Chris Dodd: … So Treasury says Chris Dodd did this? In a word. . . no. — What they're talking about is a clause …
Discussion: Open Left
They're like little Dominoes…they all fall in line and into place.
Semanticleo forgets the vote in the run-up to the war. Who were they giving cover to, Bush?
Besides, you seem to have also forgotten I don't want you here.
Well, Patrick, it depends on your comparison group.
He's a cut above the union thugs and dropouts that were his constituency in Chicago, and the "media elite" that are his backers now, sure.
In comparison to previous Presidents and UChicago professors (actually lecturers), he's a fucking retard.
that's memeorandum–
"The dishonest "Blame Dodd†scheme from Treasury officials "
Bitch Hamsher
Treasury Attempts to "Blame Dodd†for AIG Bonuses
funny, I didn't see it quoted.
In comparison to previous Presidents and UChicago professors (actually lecturers), he's a fucking retard
Yeah, me too. And I ain't dumb neither. But since comparison group is other pols, he can hold his own.
Certainly, his administration has shown few signs of competence.
oh. This is like an example. Here Baracky's dirty socialist Associated Press forgets that George Soros's dipshit butt boy lied lied lied like a pigfucker. So you have to wonder if dirty socialist propagandist Daniel Lovering is on this propaganda cartel listserv thingy or if he's just freelancing. I guess we'll be wondering that a lot from now on.
Wonder, hell. I just assume it.
The amount of stupidity that has been shown since his inaugeration has been breathtaking. How the hell can he sit here and yell at the AIG bankers for collecting bonuses when his own stimulus bill he signed into law guarenteed their contracts? Oh yeah I forgot he is teh One and can do no wrong so now it has to be someone elses fault. Look over there an overweight radio show host!!!!!!!!!
Is is ok for the gov't to right bills that void existing contracts, after those contracts have been agreed to, and where the contracts would otherwise be legally enforceable?
I sure don't think so.
This AIG OUTRAGE dealo is a calculated political move, that depends on – to be successful – full cooperation by the MSM. You can say it's stupid, but don't think for a minute that he doesn't know the real deal. He's a fucking tyrant.
But since comparison group is other pols, he can hold his own.
Well, I did mention "other Presidents".
He's dumber than Bush by at least 20 IQ points, I'd say. Maybe 30 or 40 compared to Clinton (note that I'm not saying that I like Clinton here… just saying that he's a smart motherfucker). Bush I? Nope. Reagan? Nope. Carter? Nope. Nixon? No friggin' way. Johnson probably the last one who was in the Obama range.
And, I mean tyrant in the ancient Greece sense.
R.I.C.O. Statute…
Is there no one with an ounce of integrity left in the MSM to call Obama on this?
Isn't it funny Carin in that all this bruhaha that noone is questioning the Constitutionality of the government legislating taxing away 100% of someones bonus? Not tyranical at all.
Carin, that's along the lines of what I've been thinking, but with the whole ability to void contracts thing thrown is.
Yeah, Mr. Pink. The "flawed document" I studied calls that a bill of attainder.
Johnson probably the last one who was in the Obama range
I don't disagree. He's probably about the same as W, though.
I know I'm questioning it, Mr. Pink. Grist for the mill. Republicans should be shouting it from the hilltops.
Jeff, they haven't called the Mulatto Mussolini on ANYTHING so far. Why should they start now?
More than half of the shit the gov't has done in response to the economic crisis is unconstitutional.
"He's the culmination of the "self esteem†movement."
This, more than anything else I have read, sums it up nicely.
Hey Jeff;
As a "neo-con" conservative, I want to thank you for having the backbone to continue to call out the "progs" on all this tripe. Unfortunately, the libertarians have become more concerned about libertine lifestyle issues, David Frum has become a butt boy for G*d knows what, and the Republican party is a thin veneer of McCainism. A bunch of dopes. Sad (or hopeful?) that a "house-frau" as yourself has more cogent comment on our current issues than Michael Steele or Chuckie Grassley (R-Wherever). G*d Bless you–me and my M-16 have got your back. At least until Mr. Dumbo ears and his ilk can pry it from my cold dead hands! ! ! ! ! !
They will not report anything that doesn't get disseminated down from high Mount O!lympus to our modern day Moses, Rahm Emanuel.
Oh crap–right after Semantic cream-o.
Mr. Pink that's like so totally anti-semitic.
but WTF is up with Obamama appearing on Leno this week.
Maybe Axel or George is sending Obama out every so often just to test the masses. If I were sitting in that audience at NBC I'd not applaud anything dripping out of that liar's mouth.
Love the Leno but it will be glorious if the ratings for Junior are less than expected. Dimming star power on the bright messiah..
Leno is just part of him focusing lazer like on our economy. Without the precious ad revenue generated for Geritol we would all be dooooomeeeed.
Is it totally an accident that so many of Obama's courtiers are red-diaper-baby descendants of those who gave us the glorious October putsch, er. revolution?
#44 — No. Next question?
Is there no one with an ounce of integrity left in the MSM to call Obama on this?
Oh, wait, you weren't kidding?
If by call you mean lovingly fellate while gently massaging the balls then yes they will be right on that.
Pardon me if I've asked this before, but is it too soon to ask if Teleprompter Jesus is a MISERABLE FAILURE?
Comment by Semanticleo on 3/17 @ 6:03 pm #
Do you speak English by any chance?
You can call Obama a failure at any time. Plus, the righties have their own coffee klatches, with no interest or attempt to subvert on my side's part. Get over it, and start making sense.
Comment by Semanticleo on 3/17 @ 6:12 pm #
pw ers are from Earth.
Semantic[HA!] is from Teh Stoooopid Universe.
BTW, seman, DO you speak English?
Really, cynn? Please provide for us the documentation that the Right has such an apparatus, reaching all the way into the White House.
Comment by Semanticleo on 3/17 @ 6:47 pm #
Told ya!
cynn chimes in a with a false equivalency, "get over over it because it bothers me that you've noticed this problem with my side's conduct" comment. What a surprise!
Last night cynn was telling me that I was "greedy".
I asked her why I'm "greedy" for buying a house with a mortgage I can afford (for now), and not using it as a refi cash machine to buy toys.
She didn't respond.
Well, maybe you have a point. I'm thinking NRO, but that must be somewhat embarrassing.
JD didn't you mean "reaching all the way
intoaround on"?
Spies! You are are god among mortals! Huzzah!!!!!
Yes, Sdferr. This is one ginormouns reach-around. But only for the pure of intention.
Wait, so we can burn down Washington now? I mean, I don't want to be overly partisan, cleansing fires and all…
Yeah go ahead. We got ours.
What precisely do ya'll think Obama did in his Columbia and Harvard days? He is the guy who showed up at 1 am sober to all the in parties where the Cass Susnteins and Samantha Powers of the world were wasted playing flip cup and he walks in and makes a couple snide comments and everyone says, "O man, this guy is deeeeep.†I think we underestimate the stupidity of the Ivy crowd.
Spies! You are are god among mortals! Huzzah!!!!!
Because I pay my fucking bills?
So, grade inflation has struck the apotheosis market as well. Not too surprising.
cynn, you're fucking programmed. You've been indoctrinated with bullshit until there's no chance of you ever shaking it off. You're 100% convinced that the Dems are on the side of the "little guy".
Hint: John Kerry and Warren Buffett are not "little guys". Neither are most of Obama's other prominent supporters.
Ah, but they're the "good" kind of rich people, I suppose. The kind that give millions of dollars to a guy who's planning to take all their money away and give it to people like you.
God, you're stupid.
These people are after a two-tiered noble/peasant society. They don't screw the "rich". They screw the middle class, because the middle class is the one that poses a threat to their (in most cases) inherited statuses.
The John Kerrys and Pinch Sulzbergers of the world couldn't hold down an assistant manager job at Burger King, and they know it.
They want a world where their (unearned and inherited) status is made permanent by the force of law. Likewise your status as a peasant who shows up at the gate for a handout, cap in hand.
America was founded as a nation of the middle class. Republics only work when there's a strong middle class.
The AIG Executives
You're welcome.
"No conflict of interest there."
That would be some ridiculous interest rules.
Carin is right. Spies is right. Dash and JD and Smoke are right. All yous I would pick for kickball but not meya.
In case you haven't noticed we're the ball this week.
Sorry, Mr. AIG Executives. Baracky needs his enemies. Does this ever stop being creepy?
No problem…punch me, pay me. It's all good.
Every week, the Teleprompter appoints another person/entity as a demon for distraction purposes. How long until they run out of persons to demonize ?
And why are the repubs not screaming about this ? Well, I know why people like McCain aren't – they took lots of AIG money. Personally, I'd like to see the repubs put a bill forward that requires politicians to return all the AIG money they took as campaign contributions. Could you imagine Barney Frank on the floor screaming about how wrong that would be ?
Is is ok for the gov't to right bills that void existing contracts, after those contracts have been agreed to, and where the contracts would otherwise be legally enforceable?
If it is, then I have an easy fix for overgenerous underfunded public employee pensions.
Matt – It is as if they need a Demon of the Week in order to function, if you want to call what they are doing functioning.
"Hint: John Kerry and Warren Buffett are not "little guysâ€. "
There are more Democratic millionaires in the Senate than there are Republican ones.
JD- agreed ! "functioning" is how I should have put it.
SBP is pretty dead on.
The irritating part is how many people are realizing NOW and not six months ago which is the Evil Party and which the Stupid Party.
with all that shtupping it's a wonder Orzag had time for this, too.
Love that Jewish sailor talk.

Our Blog: 1951 NL Pennant Race
1951 NL Pennant Race - First days of blog. June 20 and 21. Preacher Roe keeps his perfect record intact with his 10th win.
Posted by Ken Revis at 11:33 AM on June 21, 2011
The year is 1951. Our servicemen are halfway around the world, fighting the Korean War. The trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg is ongoing. McCarthyism is in full swing. President Harry Truman fires General Douglas MacArthur from his duties in the Pacific. Howard Hawks' film "The Thing" is playing at theaters near you, and "Tennessee Waltz", sung by Patti Page was the most popular song of the year.
In 1951, baseball revolves around New York. There are only 16 teams, 8 in each league. The Braves are still in Boston, the Athletics in Philadelphia, and the Browns in St. Louis. In New York, the Brooklyn Dodgers and their rival, the New York Giants are fighting it out, while the Yankees continue to dominate the American League.
The 1951 National League pennant race was perhaps the most famous one of all, and culminated with the Shot Heard 'Round the World, the famous Bobby Thomson home run. We are posting a daily blog, exactly one year to the day, on what is now the 60th anniversary of each game. This will be a daily blog to relive that special season between the Giants and the Dodgers. We're going to start with the first day of summer, and since I'm not sure what date it was in the calendar, I'm going with two dates. Besides, June 21 coincides with the date of this initial posting, and my goal will be to have a posting for each day in the 1951 season to match the current date.
June 20: The Dodgers have a comfortable, although not insurmountable lead on the morning of Wednesday, June 20.
Cardinals 4, Giants 2
The Giants are facing the Cardinals in an afternoon game at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. 15,483 fans are in the stands to watch New York's Jim Hearn, with a record of 6 and 4, face the Cardinals' Red Munger, who has 3 wins against 3 losses. Leo Durocher is the manager for the Giants and Marty Marion for the Cards. Billy Johnson is 2 for 4 in the game, including his 13th double of the year. Stan Musial also doubles and knocks in his 46th run of the year. Both team have 8 hits, but the Giants have 2 errors by Hank Thompson and Alvin Dark. Willie Mays is 1 for 3 with an RBI. St. Louis wins, 4 to 2. See Game
Reds 2, Dodgers 1
The Dodgers are playing a night game at Crosley Field with the Cincinnati Reds. 7,880 people are in attendance. Chuck Dressen is the manager for the Dodgers and Luke Sewell for the Reds. For Brooklyn, Johnny Schmitz with 1 win and 3 losses is facing Ken Raffensberger, who has 6 wins and 7 losses. Bob Usher is 2 for 4 with 2 runs batted in for the Reds. Raffensberger goes all the way, scattering 4 hits. In the 5th inning, Roy Campanella hits his 8th home run of the year, with nobody on. The Reds win, 2 to 1, getting only 3 hits in the game. The Dodgers have 4. See Game
June 21: So, with the Dodgers and the Giants both losing yesterday, the Dodgers still lead by 5 on the morning of Thursday, June 21.
Dodgers 6, Reds 4
The Dodgers have an afternoon game at Crosley Field with the Reds. 5,827 people are in attendance. Preacher Roe is their starter, with a perfect 9 and 0 record. Howie Fox, at 3 and 3, is the pitcher for Cincinnati. The Dodgers get off to a 4 to 0 lead in the 4th inning on the strength of doubles by Rocky Bridges and Cal Abrams. They score 2 more in the 5th on a Jackie Robinson home run and a single by Carl Furillo, knocking in Gil Hodges, who has doubled earlier. The Dodgers go on to win, 6 to 4. Roe gets his 10th win, preserving his perfect record. Fox gets the loss. Carl Erskine, facing 2 batters, gets the save, his 1st of the year. See Game.
Cardinals 2, Giants 0
The Giants are again facing the Cardinals, in a day game at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. 8,706 people are in the stands to watch New York' s Sheldon Jones, with a record of 0 and 5, face the Cardinals' Gerry Staley, who has 0 wins against 5 losses. Staley goes all the way, scattering 5 hits. Red Schoendienst has his 11th double and knocks in a run. Whitey Lockman goes 2 for 4 in a losing effort. See Box Score. (Play-by-Play not available)

SummaryWelcome to the psychedelic strip club. DEMON QUEEN aren't just the architects, they're the clients too. Their Exorcise Tape is sleazy, filthy, and violently funky. The liquor is cold, the entertainment gets low, the Pioneer speakers are broken, and the light is dim but somehow blinding.
DEMON QUEEN is the union of TOBACCO of Black Moth Super Rainbow and Zackey Force Funk. Trading files between Pittsburg and Tucson, the pair hatched a fittingly demonic and willfully fresh sound. Every new group tries to claim they belong to no genre, but it's impossible to neatly categorize Exorcise Tape in your iTunes library. It's part hip hop, part aerobic neon fun, part fucked up experimental fusion, and part Prince.
"I just had a major breakup with an ex and the strip club near me was taken over by a graffiti writer friend of mine - so I was spending a lot of time there. It's famous in Tucson. People were shot there. Police busted it for prostitution. It's cleaned up a little," Zackey Force Funk explains the origins of the project. "The record is really about satanic stripper shit, prisons, and the strip on 29th Street in Tucson."
Titles are vivid and tawdry. "Lamborghini Meltdown" sounds like it was recorded to soundtrack a rack city ritual following a sports car being stripped for parts and sold to finance a forgotten weekend. "El Camino" flips some bars from N.W.A. and transplants them on an old school chassis, cruising the strip with hydraulics and cheap hemp.
"I got a lot of people pushing me to work with rappers, but you can imagine what that's gonna sound like before it happens and that makes me ADD out. Zackey was the cure for my ADD," says TOBACCO, who produced the entirety of the record. "It was the first time I forced myself to step back a little, but it was maybe the easiest album I've ever been a part of. It just flowed."
If you've listened to his solo work or Black Moth Super Rainbow's scarred pop, you know that TOBACCO could never make a straightforward rap record. DEMON QUEEN has more in common with the Beck of Mellow Gold and Midnite Vultures or Gonjasufi and The Gaslamp Killer's guillotine croons. Zackey Force Funk alternates between eerie falsettos and murmured come-ons. It could be the permanent soundtrack for Suicide Girls or OGs raised on Zapp and Roger.
Other rappers come up for nose bone-cracking backup, including Zackey's Machina Muerte crewmates Isaiah Toothtaker, Chuck Steaks, and N8NOFACE. The drums are gritty, the synthesizers glow like spiked punch, and the raps are rugged. Best listened to while sweating out evil spirits or sins. Remember to tip.

Just make sure the AF has been fixed. It shoud be a colored (red or white?) sticker in the battery compartment.
It's a great camera which produces wonderful files below 3200. Very balanced and neutral colors.
The spot in mine was a white blob of paint. I've now moved to a Mark IV, and the AF seems very similar - i.e. needs care to get the best out of it.

For two years naturalist/photographer Hope Ryden camped in remote areas of the West observing and photographing coyotes. With eloquence and clarity, she describes the private life of this much-maligned animal in a book that has been heralded as the classic treatise on the subject. While observing her controversial subjects, Hope endured hardships and peril, events she weaves into her beautiful story.
"As full of charm and tenacious inquisitiveness as the appealing animal she pleads to see allowed to live."
"A faultless and reasoned attitude."

Sheriff hopes to use seized drug money for crime-mapping tool
Published: Sunday, February 24, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 9:02 p.m.
The Henderson County Sheriff's Office says substance abuse is the catalyst for 85 percent of the crimes it tackels.
Last year, the narcotics unit arrested 62 suspects on drug charges, took $3.8 million in drugs off the street and confiscated nearly $2 million in cash and cars from drug-related busts.
The department is using money seized from suspected drug crimes and dealers to launch a new offensive in crime fighting aimed at stopping trends before the targets get too big. The department purchased new crime-mapping software using money seized from drug dealers last year to combat the rising number of residential break-ins the county continues to see.
"We have a goal to do that by February of 2014," Sheriff Charlie McDonald told county commissioners at a recent budget planning retreat. "Residential B&Es are running just short of 600 a year over the last three years."
A lack of time and resources, he added, prevents them from handling cases the way officers would like to. Investigators are each working close to 200 cases of property crimes a year.
He requested four new officers to help staff a Directed Enforcement Unit. The team will work with an in-house crime analyst to map crimes as they occur to "see where our trouble spots are" and to "help our resources," McDonald said.
"We all realize that it is important to be proactive rather than simply reactive in attempting to reduce the crime in our county," he wrote in a presentation to the board of commissioners. "One of the most frequent crimes reported where substantial losses occur are our residential breaking-and-enterings. Our detectives work with diligence to solve the cases, but it leaves them no time to develop the intelligence and provide the surveillance needed to apprehend criminals before they have the time to inflict emotional injury and hardship on the people of Henderson County.
"It is very sad," he continued, "when an honest citizen, who is a productive part of our society, leaves for work in the morning and returns to find a total stranger has been in their home and has taken the very substance that they were working to obtain. Responding after the fact to these crimes puts us behind the curve and does little to mitigate the aggravation and suffering a person experiences due to their loss."
McDonald told the board that the new team and state-of-the-art software would allow them to "look at trends in crime as they occur," helping them impact criminals in ways not attempted here before.
Without the new positions, he said, they would have to reassign staff from various divisions that are already operating beyond the call of duty at "minimum staffing."
In the year McDonald has been in office, his narcotics unit has seized $877,378 worth of marijuana, $187,910 worth of cocaine, $3,120 worth of crack cocaine, $5,515 worth of firearms, $424,000 worth of marijuana plants, $333,570 worth of methamphetamine, $35,121 worth of drug paraphernalia, $20,515 worth of prescription drugs, $937,962.41 in U.S. currency, $950,000 in vehicles, $1,967,997 in other materials containing illegal ingredients like synthetic marijuana and bath salts, and $29,765 in other drug seizures.
The values listed reflect the known street value of the narcotics.

Childrens Book + Zombies + MST3k = Woooah! Keanu Style
Another day. Another Kickstarter project. Personally, I love the idea of crowd funding. It's one of those "why didn't I think of that" ideas. And while we've heard of many dramatic successes with it, there have been some pretty dramatic flops as well (originally found from Jonathan Mayberry's Twitter feed).
But here's a project that I can really sink my teeth into … it's a children's book being ported over to the iPad (cool) which tells the story of a zombie in a treehouse (very cool) which is going to be read some very prominent Mystery Science Theater 3000 Alum (awesome).
They currently have Joel Hodgson, Kevin Murphy, and almost Michael J. Nelson lined up. If they meet their stretch goals, they'll also acquire the talents of J. Elvis Weinstein, Trace Beaulieu, Bill Corbett, and "TV's Frank" Frank Conniff. If they hit the 42k mark, they'll even rope in Neil Gaimen. This proves to me they either have some amazing connections or have lots of compromising pictures of the MST3K cast with a Filipino house boy.
Last I checked, they were 1k short of their goal with only 43 hours to go. If you like zombies, treehouses, and Mystery Science Theater, this sounds like the project for you.
On an aside, if there were a zombie in my treehouse, I'd burn the fucker down. Just say'in.

We discovered blurry textures when we reviewed the Radeon HD 7800s, so now we're performing an in-depth investigation. Why does the Radeon HD 6000 series demonstrate crisper image quality? Is performance affected? Does AMD know about the issue?
When we were testing the Pitcairn-based Radeon HD 7800 cards for last month's launch, we stumbled upon image quality issues with AMD's two most recent boards. Specifically, we noticed textures in popular games that appeared blurrier on all of the Radeon HD 7000s compared to the prior-generation offerings. And this was using identical image quality settings in the software driver and the games we were testing.
Here is an animation from AMD Radeon HD 7870 And 7850 Review: Pitcairn Gets Benchmarked that demonstrates the issue:
Unfortunately, AMD hasn't given us much time with any of its Radeon HD 7000-series cards prior to launching them, so our ability to go into more depth with our review was severely limited. But now we're all freed up, and ready to dig deeper.
Was the issue limited to just AMD's press-only beta driver? Does it affect the Radeon HD 7800s exclusively, or do all of the 7000s take a step backward? Does it change performance? If so, the implications there would be that AMD altered image quality to deliver more competitive performance. If not, the texture issue could just be a bug that needs to be fixed.
Of course, we always wanted to compare the Radeon HD 6900s and 7000s to Nvidia's default image quality as well. And naturally, we wanted to work with AMD each step of the way to figure out what went wrong, so we have the company's feedback as well. What does AMD have to say?
- Radeon HD 7000 Texture Problems: Uh Oh!
- Test System And Benchmarks
- Comparing Three Different Graphics Cards
- Press Drivers Versus AMD's Official Builds
- Three Different Catalyst A.I. Settings
- The Performance Impact Of Lower-Quality Textures
- AMD Responds With A Driver Fix
- A Texture Quality Problem Confirmed And Fixed
1Anonymous , 11 April 2012 14:01What a pointless article. Title reads "Do AMD's Radeon HD 7000s Trade Image Quality For Performance?".
Answer: No, because the new driver fixes the problems while keeping the performance.
But at least it wasn't as bad as the piece that biased Angelini wrote, sending the 7900 series on vacation.
0aicom , 11 April 2012 14:50Yes it's a slightly sensationalist title but it's certainly not the worst nor even misleading. It draws the reader into the article while describing what it will cover. The 7900 vacation joke (yes it's a joke), was word play on Tahiti (a Southern Islands GPU). I found it worth a chuckle. Before you accuse me of being an nVidia fan, I purchased a Radeon HD 7870 2 weeks ago and I love it.
1Herr_Koos , 11 April 2012 15:58I found it fascinating reading. Regardless of your opinion on the article, the outcome of the tests will benefit all HD7-series users. Kudos to Toms for that.
0ashiataka , 11 April 2012 19:01Perhaps the reason people don't care so much is that in order to see the problem, you have to zoom in to 200% and then be looking for it, even then it's difficult to spot. As for what the developer wants you to see, he wants you to be seeing 60 of those pictures a second.
1guyladouche , 11 April 2012 22:55I concur with John-117, the article title and following findings entirely detract from this writer's and TH's general reputation and impact. A sensationalist title does not always get you respect for your work--especially when the actual answer after your study contradicts what you are implying from a loaded question.
What if I wrote a headline that says, "Does TH employ monkeys to write their articles and child slavery to conduct their benchmarks? UH OH!" what would you infer? Maybe at least a small amount of likelihood that there's at least evidence of that? o.O
If you have to zoom in on an image to the point where the textures are so pixelated to show a difference, what's the point? As stated above, in an action scene you won't notice a thing, especially compounded by the use of post-processing things like motion blur. And since there's no performance difference after the fix, you pretty much set yourself up for a useless discussion and an empty hypothesis.
-1HEXiT , 12 April 2012 02:12i have had issues with my amd card and they stem much further than the 7800 cards. for a long time now i haven't been able to implement AA on some titles unless i call it ut3.exe on my 5800. this was meant to be fixed on the second release of the driver and here we are 15-20 or so drivers later and im still waiting.
the fix to the above was supposed to be implemented back around the time starcraft 2 was out so yeah i thing the article has some valid points to make.
i got my 5800 on the day it was released and was using it 2 days later. most of the time im happy with it. but when you see your card crumple pn the very things it was designed to handle you have to question amd's design... the whole point of amd not moving to combined shaders like nvidia was so that aa would cost near nothing performance wise and that was the big + for me to get a hd card. but then i find it only works on some games and games like skyrim which use fxaa as well as fsaa dont allow aa if you have hdr/bloom enabled... sort of defeats the purpose....
you can have either smooth polys or well shaded polys. nah i would say the article although comes off a little bias raises some issues that have been plaguing ati for a while...

We're back this year with our first blogger of the month 2013 and now it's the turn of Lauren, from Pocket Rocket Fashion to have her say. Lauren is pictured below wearing our spearmint skater tunic from our previous collection.
Now let's hand it over to Lauren…
How long have you been blogging?
My blog turned three in August 2012. I can't quite believe it's been 3 years! I'm a very different person now from when I was back then.
What do you blog about?
Plus size fashion, fat fashion, whatever you'd like to call it! I decided to blog about a specific subject instead of my life, as you can get quite vulnerable putting your feelings out there for everyone to see. And fashion, specifically plus size fashion was something I loved, so it made perfect sense.
Who inspires you? / Where do you get your inspiration from, when writing your blog?
So many people inspire me! I'm pretty much always inspired by someone or something. I guess when I first started, Beth Ditto was a big deal for me. Going to a Gossip gig back in the day was one of the first times I felt truly beautiful. Generally speaking it's a combination of old Hollywood photographs and cool girls I see on the tube and more recently, on tumblr.
Biggest achievement? (blogging/otherwise!)
Blogging-wise, being asked to design an outfit – I went for a dress as I'm ridiculously girly – for Simply Be (more on this will be revealed soon, so watch this space!). It's the most exciting thing to ever happen to me. Literally a dream come true! In my life, getting a decent set of GCSE's when I'd struggled with deep depression in my teens was a huge achievement for me.
How would you describe your style?
This is so hard! I really like looking glamorous and ladylike, but then I also love wearing kitsch and cute clothes. I asked a friend once and she said "teacups and fists!" So I would say ladylike, with a bit of a bite.
What do you do when you're not blogging? / What would be your ideal job?
When I'm not blogging, I'm at work (on the opposite side of the blogging fence, I work in SEO) or catching up with friends and going to see bands I love. And watching TV – I'm a proper telly geek!
Which celeb style do you admire the most?
It's almost a cliché now but I still think Beth Ditto looks incredible – she has such an amazing eye. I also love classic actresses: Audrey Hepburn of course, Anna Karina, Marilyn Monroe. More recently I like Dita von Teese, (pictured left) and Ginnifer Goodwin (pictured right) has been making me gasp with her last few red carpet outfits!
What do you like about Simply Be?
I love that they've really made the effort to provide something for everyone. So many people assume everyone who wears over a certain size all want the same style of clothes, but that's not true at all. Some of us are confident and unafraid to take fashion risks, others are more modest and less happy with their bodies – and that's okay! One of the really nice things was looking through the latest catalogue with my mum and her cousin – we're different generations and all have such different tastes, but all of us found things we wanted to wear.
Any favourites from the Simply Be collection?
I really love the flocked and velour skater dresses and was gutted that they sold out before I could buy one! I love all the dresses from your new in must haves, and also the amazing flapper dress. I treated myself to your sweetheart jumper which I wear all the time!
Do you have any style advice/ general words of wisdom you'd like to share with our readers?
Forget the rules. If you like something, give it a try. If it doesn't work, it's not the end of the world.
What's the best advice you've ever been given?
Just reading about people learning to accept themselves in the here and now – that was so powerful to me and I don't think I would have done some of the things I've done and made the friends I have without it. Learning to accept myself in the present, instead of a possible (thin) future genuinely changed my life for the better.
What single item could you not live without?
Oh, easy – my phone! It would need working wifi, though!
Apart from your own, can your recommend any favourite style blogs or books we can add to our reading list?
Well it's not a style book per se, but I just bought Hot and Heavy edited by Virgie Tovar, and it's amazing. It's a compendium of articles written by plus size women about life, love and fashion. Such a great, life-affirming read! As for blogs, I literally follow hundreds. I'm really enjoying Gem (Not So Serious fashion), Callie (From the Corners of the Curve) and Isha (Creative Type Fashion) at the moment.
Shoes or handbags?
My heart says shoes – even though I find the best ones really hard to walk in!
Anything else you'd like to get across?
Here's to an awesome 2013!
Thanks Lauren, here's to 2013 indeed – lets make it a good one ladies! For more on Lauren head on over to her blog. xx

The Pats have proven they need a first round bye to make the Super Bowl, and especially with this flawed team. Last year, to reach the Super Bowl, we beat Tim Tebow, and then had the Ravens shank a 20 yard FG. This year, we need to beat Pittsburgh, then win at Denver, and at Houston. No way, no how.
And even if we do make the Super Bowl, who are we going to beat? The Niners? Giants? Seahawks? We play like crap against all of them.
This Pats team is fun to watch, but they are nowhere near a championship team. Ridley fumbles constantly. Hernandez drops 50% of bunnies thrown to him. The secondary is an NFL laughingstock. We have no deep threat WR, just dink and dunk possession types. Brady can't throw a deep ball anymore, and goes through stretches where he can't hit the broad side of a barn.
Also, Belichick is coaching like the game has passed him by. It's always the other team that tricks the Pats, has the surprises, has the better game plan, and manages the game better. We've failed against tough defense since the first Giants' SB loss, 5 years ago, and it's always the same now. We face a tough D = automatic loss. Against weak teams, we blow them out.
The plus side is this team is young, and there's some hope that they can improve in 2013. But Brady is old now, and this window may be shutting forever. Unless the Pats cheat like Indy did, and throw a season to get the next great QB.
Next year, I want to see a good, tall, physical, downfield threat WR. And a CB who can cover someone.
Meanwhile, the next two weeks are meaningless exhibition games. I'd rather the Pats rest all our starters for the playoffs.

The State Bank Of India (SBI), the countrys largest bank, will take a call on its lending rates on Monday in wake of the recent hike of benchmark repo rate by the Reserve Bank of India.
Increase in repo rate does not affect landing rates of banks and especially of the State Bank of India. Deposit rates affect the landing rates. However, liquidity is tight in the market and we shall have to pass additional cost of liquidity on borrowers. So, we shall first increase deposit rates and then bank rates. We shall take a decision in this regard at our meeting on Monday, SBI chairman Pratip Chaudhuri told reporters on the sidelines of a function organised by the bank here.
The RBI had increased repo rate by 25 basis points to 7.50 per cent in its mid-quarter monetary announcement on Thursday to counter mounting inflationary pressure.
Repo rate is the rate at which the central bank lends funds to other banks. Should the SBI increase its lending rates, interest rates of home loans, personal loans and auto loans would go up.
Chaudhuri was in the city to preside over a function of SBI to donate ambulances and school buses under its corporate social responsibility initiatives.

|Wide Receiver
|San Diego, Calif.
|High School:
|Mira Mesa
|Varsity Reserve
AT COLORADO: This Season (Soph.)-Enters the fall atop the group at the "x" receiver position, and he's finally ready to see the field after being sidelined by academic issues. But he's overcome them and is primed for a breakout season. He caught nine passes for 99 yards and four touchdowns in the three main spring scrimmages.
2008 (Fr.-RS)-He sat out the year after being ruled academically ineligible, but maintained a positive attitude while performing on the scout team. He was the co-recipient of the Offensive Scout Award, and was the scout team offensive player of the week for the Eastern Washington game. His skills were well respected to the point where in a league full of talented receivers, Phil Steele's College Football selected him to its preseason fourth-team All-Big 12 squad despite his not playing in a college game.
2007 (Fr.)-Redshirted; practiced the entire fall at wide receiver. The coaches selected him as the Scout Team Offense award winner for the Texas Tech game.
HIGH SCHOOL-A SuperPrep All-American and All-Far West performer as a senior, as the publication ranked him as the No. 24 overall player in the region (the third best receiver); he was also an SP preseason AA pick, ranked as the ninth best receiver in the nation ahead of his senior year. He was also rated among the top 20 receivers in the nation by Rivals.com and Scout.com. A three-year letterman in football, he was named both first-team All-Section CIF and All-Eastern League on offense (he was a second-team All-League choice on defense at cornerback). At wide receiver, he caught 40 passes for 778 yards and 19 touchdowns as a senior, while collecting three interceptions on defense. Playing only offense as a junior, he was named first-team All-Eastern League, second-team All-Section CIF and was tabbed an All-State Underclassman. On the year, he caught 41 passes for 875 yards and 16 touchdowns. His top game as a junior came against Scripps, as he hauled in six passes for 150 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-10 victory. In his senior season, he had 10 receptions for 220 yards and three touchdowns against Escondido; he also made two interceptions on defense in a 31-28 loss. Against Vista, he had eight catches for 150 yards and two touchdowns to go along with an interception in a 36-7 win. Under coach Gary Blevins, Mira Mesa was 6-5 his senior season, losing in the first round of the state playoffs; he missed the game with a torn thumb ligament. As a junior, his team went 9-2-1 and advanced to the state semifinals, and as a sophomore, they were 8-4 and made it to the quarterfinals. He also lettered three times in basketball, and was named first-team All-Eastern League his sophomore and junior seasons.
ACADEMICS-He is majoring in Sociology at Colorado. He owned a 3.1 grade point average in high school and was named to the San Diego Union-Tribune All-Academic Team his junior year.
PERSONAL-Born February 21, 1989 in San Diego, Calif. His hobbies include traveling and spending time with his family. (Name is pronounced marcus see-muss.)

So a friend gave me an old Viewsonic 19" lcd monitor, so now I am running it, along with my old 17" crt.
I am having few issues using applications with this setup. My main issue is gaming. If I have a game running in full screen on one monitor, and I click a window on the other monitor, it minimizes the game. If you guys are familiar with Steam, even with I Shift+Tab out of the game just to view the Steam friends list, and I click the other monitor, the game minimizes. I am running the game on my primary monitor, if it makes a difference... Thoughts? I tried googling the answer but found nothing. I tried running the game in a window, but it lagged everything down so bad for some reason, that I could barely move my mouse pointer across the screen. I don't want to run in a windows anyways. There's got to be a way to do it full screen . .

Stallone to quit actingSylvester Stallone is set to quit acting - saying he's fed up of being typecast.
The Hollywood actor has complained that he gets stereotyped because of the character he played in his first film, 'Rocky'.
He said: "No matter what, I'm never going to be asked to do 'Notting Hill II'. It's just not happening.
"'Rocky' was my first film and it won an Oscar. That was a defining moment. That was it. I'm Rocky. I can't get away from that. I could literally have a sex change operation and I'd still be Rocky.
"I always knew this time would come in my career, a time to look to the next challenge, away from acting."
But the 57-year-old actor still has plans to make 'Rocky VI' and has written the script but has so far failed to impress movie executives.
He said in an interview with Britain's Mirror newspaper: "They said Rocky's over. I said, 'As long as people feel that life is an uphill battle, it will never be over.' They said Rocky would be too old.
"I want to leave a certain message at the end of 'Rocky VI'. As we get older, what we lack in skill we can make up in will."

I just learned about arrays but can't conceptualize arrays with more than three dimensions.
Imagine the following:
Viola, a 12 dimensional array.
Very few people can grasp what the 4th spatial dimension would look like. Here are two pointers if you want to try to understand:
Imagine a series of 3-dimensional cubes, one after another.
You can also think of it as a single 3D cube evolving over discrete intervals of time.
I find these helpful if you want a mental model that fits into the usual spatial (plus time) system, i.e. something whose dimensions you can visualize all at once in the physical world.
Multidimensional arrays don't need to be conceptualised as rectangles, cubes, etc. There is another way of looking at them. A 2-dimensional array is a 1-dimensional array of equal-sized 1-dimensional arrays. A 3-dimensional array is a 1-dimensional array of 2-dimensional arrays. Etc. You can visualise the nested arrays as being all horizontal, or all vertical, or alternately horizontal and vertical - whatever you like.
If by "conceptualize" you mean "imagine", then that's fine. We, as 3D beings, can't really grasp higher dimensional stuff (most of us, anyways).
Now, like said in the comments, 4D arrays are very very sparse from what I can tell. If you really need one, it won't be as a 4 dimensional shape, but rather as a list of 3 dimensional shapes. or a 2D array of 2D arrays. Don't take the "dimension" part as "spatial dimension". Just think of multi-dimensional arrays like "after one pair of square brackets
Go look at one of the larger tables in the nearest relational database. That table is an array that just happens to be indexed by column name rather than explicit numbers; the columns are clearly a finite set so they can be put into one-to-one correspondence with the non-negative integers and this mapping gives you your more familiar array dimensions.

text: I was recently playing a game called Glyder2 on my HP Touchpad and was reminded of a book that I read when I was in Junior High in the Mid 80's. It was about a group of people that flew with wings similar to a hang glider. I specifically remember them talking about riding thermals. I believe the main character went on a trip for some reason. The only thing I have been able to find online is about Windhaven. this is not the book that I remember.

The body of Walter Parker, Jr., of Meridian was discovered Monday morning in Sowashee Creek near Hawkins Crossing.
"The last time he was seen was yesterday morning at 8:00 when he was going to float Sowashee in a boat," said Keith McCary, Meridian's assistant chief of police.
"He was allegedly going to float all the way to Enterprise and call when he got there, so somebody could pick him up and he didn't make it."
According to a preliminary investigation, a fast-moving current likely tipped Parker's small boat. It could not easily be seen from the other side.
According to police, Parker was alone and not wearing a life jacket. While foul play is not suspected, investigators say an autopsy will be conducted.
