Gemunu Amarasinghe, Associated Press
SITTWE, Myanmar — The cyclone was only a day or two away, churning through the Indian Ocean and carrying with it winds and rains that authorities warned could quickly turn deadly.
But in dozens of refugee camps that spatter Myanmar's western coast, where tens of thousands of displaced Rohingya people live in plastic-roofed tents and huts made of reeds, an order to evacuate ahead of the storm was met with widespread refusal.
In these camps, filled with people who barely exist officially, nearly any government order is distrusted.
Around 140,000 people — mostly Rohingya — have been living in crowded camps in Myanmar's Rakhine state since last year, when two outbreaks of sectarian violence between the Muslim minority and ethnic Rakhine Buddhists forced many Rohingya from their homes.
Nearly half the displaced live in coastal areas considered highly vulnerable to storm surges and flooding from Cyclone Mahasen, which is expected to make landfall early Friday.
"They say they'll take us someplace safe," said Kyaung Wa, a cycle-rickshaw driver who has spent nearly a year in a series of camps on the outskirts of Sittwe after his house was destroyed in the violence. If his current home is little more than a hut covered with a plastic sheet, he fears ending up someplace even worse, and living deeper in the countryside and away from work.
So he and the vast majority of his neighbors insisted they would stay, along with thousands of other Rohingya along the coastline.
Officials, he said, had been trying to empty his camp for months.
"Now they say, 'You have to move because of the storm,'" he said. "We keep refusing to go. ... If they point guns at us, only then will we move."
President's Office Minister Aung Min told reporters Wednesday that the government guarantees the safety of the Rohingyas during relocation and promises to return them to their current settlement when the storm has passed.
Mahasen appeared to have weakened Wednesday, with the cyclone downgraded to a Category 1 storm, according to the U.N.'s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
However, the center of the cyclone was heading toward Chittagong in Bangladesh and could, "depending on its final trajectory, bring life-threatening conditions for 8.2 million people in northeast India, Bangladesh and Myanmar," the U.N. office said in a Wednesday storm update.
There was no wind or rain in Chittagong on Wednesday afternoon, but about 170 factories close to the Bay of Bengal were closed in anticipation of the storm.
Cox's Bazar, a seafront town in Bangladesh in the expected path of the cyclone, experienced drizzling rain and high tides 3 to 4 feet (about one meter) above normal. There was flooding in low-lying areas of several nearby island towns, said Ruhul Amin, a government official, and tens of thousands of people had left their homes for cyclone shelters and schools and government buildings on high ground.
Related heavy rains and flooding in Sri Lanka were blamed for eight deaths earlier this week, said Sarath Lal Kumara, spokesman for Sri Lanka's disaster management center.
In Myanmar at least eight people — and possibly many more — were killed as they fled the cyclone Monday night, when overcrowded boats carrying more than 100 Rohingya capsized. Only 42 people had been rescued by Wednesday, and more than 50 Rohingya were still missing, said Deputy Information Minister Ye Htut.
Much attention was focused on western Myanmar because of fears over the fate of the crowded, low-lying Rohingya camps.

Your Take: Sheryl Sandberg's, Leaning In, and Embracing Success
Posted By Jim On 03/22/2013 @ 7:17 am In Your Take | 6 Comments
This week we did a series inspired by Sheryl Sandberg's new book Lean In and the associated media blitz. I first learned about it on NPR's Morning Edition [3] (a good 8 minute piece if you have the time) and the subsequent discussion about the message she was trying to convey and people's responses to it. The book's title, Lean In, refers to how women should lean into success and embrace it.
While I think the message is a good one, I don't think a failure to "lean in" is the reason why there gender pay is not equal or why there aren't more female CEOs. Personally, I think it's because only women can get pregnant and give birth to children. It's natural, for both male and female recruiters, to see a young woman and worry that she might start a family and decide working isn't for her. Is that fair? Definitely not but to think that you can legislate that out of someone's held is impossible.
It's also hard to have a family, be involved in your kids, if you plan on working 60, 70, 80 hour weeks. It's not impossible, but it's really difficult. It's also really difficult to become a CEO without having worked 60 hours weeks. For both men and women, would you rather devote that time to a company or to your family? Me? I'd rather devote it to family.
Lastly, listen to these mom's weigh in on NPR's Tell Me More program [4] (great program by the way). The gem is when Dani Tucker weighs in and explains how Sandberg isn't talking to most American women:
DANI TUCKER: Oh, it's a great argument for the women that she's talking to, but she's not talking to me. She's not talking to single women or single mothers. She has never been one, so you don't know what we go through. I mean, you know, one thing I liked was she said, you think – a young lady asked her, you know, is this book for single moms? What would you say to them? And she says, you know, knowing how to ask for a raise successfully. I'm not asking for a raise successfully. I'm happy to get a raise. OK. We're on two different planets.
MARTIN: And why is that? Is that because she's partnered or is it because she's…
TUCKER: Because she's rich.
MARTIN: …rich? Because she's rich.
TUCKER: Because she's rich, because she can make decisions with billions of dollars in her bank account and I cannot. Big difference. When I don't have that money in my account that dictates, you know, my level of leaning in. OK? It just does, simple as that, period. So, to the majority of us who do not fit in this category, don't waste your money on this book.
I think Tucker hits it on the head. It's an 18 minute program worth listening to if you want to hear moms share their take on Lean In.
What are your thoughts on Sandberg's comments and her book?

By Maureen Hagan, Physiotherapist and certified fitness professional 2003-11-18 00:00:00 These days, golfers and gardeners have a lot in common with cashiers and computer users. Why? They – along with others who work or play at an activity that involves repeated gripping – risk chronic stress or a more-serious overuse injury involving the wrist. The flexor and extensor muscles of your forearm travel through your wrist's carpal tunnel and enable precise finger movements and a strong gripping action. If the flexors (on the palm side) and the extensors (on top) are overused and understretched, you could be headed for strain and pain. Here are two easy exercises that can help prevent – or cure – wrist and hand problems. You can do both standing or even while sitting at your desk. Flexor stretch 1. Stand or sit tall. To keep your head and shoulders in the proper position, tuck your chin in so that your ears are directly above your shoulders. Next, pull your shoulders back and down. Lift both arms straight out to your sides to shoulder level, palms facing down; straighten, but don't lock, your elbows. 2. Bending at the wrist, gently lift the backs of your hands toward you, stretching your fingers to the ceiling. You should feel a gentle stretch across your wrists and along the undersides of your forearms up to the elbows; the tighter your forearms, the more intense the stretch will feel. 3. Hold this stretch while you inhale deeply, then exhale. Lower your arms. Repetitions and sets Do this stretch once or twice, three times a day. Extensor stretch This "hands down" extensor stretch will complement the flexor stretch. 1. Repeat step 1 of the flexor stretch. 2. Draw your palms downward and inward to face your body, gently stretching your fingers toward the floor. You should feel this stretch along the tops of your wrists and forearms. 3. Hold this stretch while you inhale deeply, then exhale. Lower your arms. Repetitions and sets Do this stretch once or twice, three times a day. Page 1 of 1

S. Mueller, III, Director, FBI
Citizens Crime Commission of New York City
The Milstein Lecture
New York, NY
December 19, 2002
New York, NY
December 19, 2002
afternoon. It is good to be here among
colleagues and friends. I would like to
thank Harold Milstein--not only for the
invitation, but for his leadership. To
Mayor Bloomberg, Commissioner Kelly, my
former colleagues in the U.S. Attorney's
office, District Attorneys, Tom and everyone
at the Citizens Crime Commission, it is
good to see you, and I thank you for coming
here today.
With the end of the year upon us, it is
a good time to take an accounting of where
we are in our mission to protect our country
against terrorism. And, given the events
of 9/11 and the inspirational leadership
that we have all seen from New Yorkers
since that terrible day, there is no better
place for us to take stock than here in
New York City.
Someone once said that at moments of crisis,
words are hollow vessels. I felt this
again this morning flying into New York,
remembering not only 9/11, but also my
visit to Ground Zero just ten days after
the attacks. Even for a Marine who thought
he had seen it all, that day remains among
the saddest of my life. I will never forget
it. My heart and the hearts of all FBI
employees remain with the victims, the
victims' families, and the people of this
great city.
We have all been changed by 9/11. Nowhere
is that change more apparent than in the
Let me start with an update on our war
on terror. This truly is a war, a global
war--from Kabul to Karachi, from Bali
to Mombasa, from Sanaa, Yemen, to New
York City. Preventing terrorism means
identifying cells and disrupting their
operations. And it means crippling and
dismantling terrorist networks country-by-country,
operative-by-operative, dollar-by-dollar,
so that they no longer pose a threat to
the United States.
2002 has been the first full year in this
war, and looking back, much has been accomplished.
We have taken the fight to Al-Qa'ida,
to where they train, recruit, plan, and
live. We have taken away their safe haven
in Afghanistan. We have taken into custody
more than 3,000 Al-Qa'ida leaders and
foot soldiers worldwide. Here in the United
States, we have charged nearly 200 suspected
terrorist associates with crimes. Worldwide,
we have prevented as many as a hundred
terrorist attacks or plots, including
a number here in the U.S.
successes have come because of the singular,
united focus of virtually everyone engaged
in this war--law enforcement, intelligence,
the military, and our diplomatic community.
Every level--federal, state, local, international--has
contributed its unique set of skills.
Nowhere is that more evident than here
in New York. This city has been a leader
in the war against terror since the 1920
bombing of the old J.P. Morgan building.
That tradition of leadership continues
today. Commissioner Kelly has done an
outstanding job in leading the NYPD's
post 9/11 fight. The new Counterterrorism
Division led by Frank Libutti, and the
newly revamped Intelligence Division led
by David Cohen, are models for the nation.
Commissioner, my thanks to you, Frank,
David, and the 40,000 officers and detectives
who serve this city so well.
New York's leadership includes the men
and women of the FBI. Our Assistant Director
in Charge here--Kevin Donovan--has picked
up where the tireless Barry Mawn left
off in the war on terror.
September 11 made the prevention of terrorist
attacks the FBI's top priority and overriding
focus. While we remain committed to our
other important national security and
law enforcement responsibilities, the
prevention of terrorism takes precedence
in our thinking and planning; in our hiring
and staffing; in our training and technologies;
and, most importantly, in our investigations.
With this shift in priorities has come
a major shift in the allocation of resources
within the Bureau. We have doubled the
number of Agents devoted to terrorism.
We have hired nearly 300 new counterterrorism
translators specializing in Middle Eastern
languages. And, we have completely overhauled
our counterterrorism program at Headquarters,
centralizing our management and accountability,
beefing up existing units, and adding
new capabilities.
Essential to preventing future terrorist
attacks is improving our intelligence
analysis and predictive capability. The
FBI has always been a collector of intelligence
in pursuing its criminal cases. But with
the mandate of prevention, we are now
restructuring to provide proper analysis
and dissemination of intelligence to all
our partners in the war on terror.
We have taken a number of steps to build
that capacity within the FBI. We set up
a National Joint Terrorism Task Force
at FBI headquarters, staffed by representatives
from 30 different federal, state, and
local agencies. This national task force
coordinates the two-way flow of information
and intelligence between Headquarters
and the JTTFs around the country. We have
quadrupled the number of strategic analysts
at Headquarters. We are building a cadre
of more than 700 analysts nationwide.
a result of our efforts, we will now be
able to produce a greater quantity and
quality of analytical product, and to
share that product more effectively with
policy makers, with the intelligence community
and with our law enforcement partners.
We are also completely upgrading our information
technology capability in the Bureau. Our
longstanding problems with information
technology are well known. What is less
well known is what we are doing to fix
those problems and to add a whole new
set of capabilities to FBI operations.
We have brought in some of the best and
brightest from private industry to lead
this effort. These individuals--along
with a range of outside experts--are bringing
the Bureau into the digital age. From
the rollout of new hardware, to the upgrade
of critical networks, to the redesign
of investigative applications, we are
making progress. Thanks to these new initiatives,
we will soon have a system that we can
mine for data and analysis, and that will
allow Agents to manage their case files
electronically for the first time in history.
In step with these institutional changes
have come important legal and cultural
changes that are enhancing our ability
to prevent terrorism.
Principal among these is the manner in
which September 11 has torn down the legal
walls between intelligence and law enforcement
agencies. For those of you who followed
the 9/11 hearings in Congress this fall,
you may recall meetings between the CIA
and FBI where it was unclear what information
on a hijacker could be legally shared
under the arcane set of rules and laws
that was known as "the Wall."
Since 9/11, we have breached the Wall.
First, thanks to the PATRIOT Act and the
recent FISA Appeals Court decision, we
no longer have legal obstacles to coordination
and information-sharing between the law
enforcement community and the intelligence
agencies. Law enforcement officers can
now coordinate their approach to terrorist
targets without running afoul of the law.
In addition to the collapse of the legal
"Wall," we have also seen the
collapse of the cultural and operational
wall between the FBI and CIA. Those who
focus on stories of the feuding between
the agencies back in the era of J. Edgar
Hoover and Allen Dulles are overlooking
the increased operational integration
between the two agencies since 9/11. From
my daily morning briefings with CIA officers
and George Tenet to the widespread assignment
of executives, Agents, and analysts between
the two agencies since 9/11, the FBI and
the CIA have become integrated at virtually
every level of our operations.
The third wall we are tearing down is
the one between us and our state and local
partners. Our 11,500 FBI Agents are a
small cadre compared to the nation's 670,000
state and local law enforcement officers.
We need every one of those officers to
be fully integrated into the war on terror.
That is why we created the National JTTF;
that is why we have established JTTFs
in all of our field offices; and, that
is why we are standing up regional information
sharing operations that will revolutionize
the way we work together. These efforts
are opening doors to cooperation that
simply did not exist prior to 9/11.
This crumbling of pre 9/11 walls brings
us to the issue of whether America should
create a new domestic intelligence agency
similar to the British MI-5. This idea
is based on a faulty understanding of
counterterrorism that sees a dichotomy
between "intelligence operations"
and "law enforcement operations."
This misunderstanding of counterterrorism
has led some to conclude that we should
separate these two functions and create
a new domestic intelligence agency.
We have just discussed how important it
is to break down walls to enable the sharing
of information. Building new walls is
going in the wrong direction. There is
no reason to separate the two functions
of law enforcement and domestic intelligence.
On the contrary, combining law enforcement
and intelligence grants us ready access
to every weapon in the government's arsenal
against terrorists. We can now make strategic
and tactical choices between our law enforcement
options of arrest and incarceration and
our intelligence options of surveillance
and source development.
The wisdom of this approach has been clearly
borne out. Over the last year, the FBI
has identified, disrupted, and neutralized
a number of terrorist threats and cells.
We have done so in ways an intelligence-only
agency like MI-5 cannot. Why is that?
Because the FBI is uniquely situated for
the counterterrorism mission.
For these reasons, I am convinced that
the people of the United States are better
served by enhancing the FBI's dual capacity
for law enforcement and intelligence gathering
and analysis, than by creating a new agency
from whole cloth. It is for these reasons
that I believe that, at this time in our
history, establishing a new domestic intelligence
agency would constitute a step backward
in the war on terror, not a step forward.
There will come a time, and perhaps it
is even happening today, when the majority
of Americans will move on to other concerns,
dreams, fears, and challenges. That is
understandable. But for those fighting
the war on terror, such a lapse would
be a disaster. We are in a war, and we
will prevail over our foe only if we are
more determined, more relentless, and
more resourceful.
This is a challenge that demands dedication
and sacrifice. I want to say that I am
tremendously proud of every man and woman
in the FBI who is working so hard to meet
this challenge. The longer I am in the
FBI, the more I appreciate how privileged
I am to call them my colleagues.
I want to close with a story that says
a great deal about the intangibles of
teamwork and courage that are so important
to defeating terrorism. I have told this
story before, but it bears repeating,
particularly here in New York.
It is the story of Lenny Hatton, a Special
Agent of the FBI, who was one of the many
law enforcement officers lost on September
11th. Lenny was an exceptional Agent and
a remarkable man. He was on his way to
work on September 11th when he saw the
World Trade Center on fire. He went straight
to the scene and started working with
police and firefighters to evacuate the
buildings. Lenny was last seen helping
a victim out of one of the buildings,
and rushing back in to save more.
Several days after September 11, I attended
Lenny's funeral mass in his hometown in
New Jersey. The last speaker was a close
friend and colleague of Lenny's, an individual
by the name of Chris O'Connell. Chris
talked about how Lenny devoted his life
to serving--as a Marine, as a volunteer
firefighter, as an FBI Agent, and as a
husband and father. He recounted how Lenny
served until his last breath, trying to
lead people to safety from the World Trade
Center. And at the end, in tears, he saluted
Agent Hatton with the words: "Until
we meet again, my partner, my friend."
Chris O'Connell, you see, was Lenny's
partner, and Chris was and is a detective
with the New York City Police Department.
Lenny and Chris cared for each other like
brothers. It didn't matter that one worked
for the FBI and one worked for the NYPD.
They were a team.
Were he alive today, I think Lenny would
be proud to see the team that has come
together since September 11. That team
is strong; it is unified; and it is single-minded
in its determination to prevent a 9/11
from ever happening again. I am proud
to be a part of that team, and I thank
all of you here today for your hard work,
your sacrifice, and your dedication to
the cause of justice.
Thank you for having me today, thank you
for your leadership, and God bless.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer, My name is XXXXX XXXXX my goal is to provide you with Excellent Service,
Q. Do you and your wife hold title to your home as "Tenants by the Entireties"?
not quite sure what that means, we do have a mortgage.
Hi, Ed,
If the medical bills cannot be paid, then the only relief is for your wife to file bankruptcy. Her share of the equity in the home will not be affected at all if the deed to the home is held as Tenants by the Entireties and if so, the Deed would reads as follows:
Ed ______________ and ______________________ , Husband and Wife, as Tenants by the Entirety
Only a husband and wife can hold title to real property as tenants by the Entirety and from a legal standpoint, it is held by both spouses as a single marital entity, not as individuals. As such, it cannot be divided, nor can it be reached by the crediors of your wife alone. Therefore, if your wife files bankruptcy, the house will be exempt property and will not be part of the bankruptcy estate and will not be available to creditors,
Please be kind enough to rate "Excellent Service" so that I receive credit
for assisting you,
Bonus and Positive Feedback on survey is very much appreciated,
Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance,
if my deed does not read that way can I change it?
If you bought the house with your wife after you were married, your title on the Deed should read "Tenants by the Entirety. If it does not, then yes, you can change it,
for assisting you,

I stopped by http://www.counterbalancebicycles.com after work yesterday and picked up the following:
- blackburn competition cage
- sunlite toe straps
- all city nylon double toe clip medium black (just pull the front reflector off the stock pedals and they fit fine)
- planet bike eco rack - aluminum
Rode 8 miles into work today, I was paranoid about getting a flat so I left the tires super under-inflated. Combined with a strong headwind out of the south, I got a nice workout and a slow ride in. Very nice riding bike though, frame really absorbed the bumpy pavement on the burke gilman trail and going over a couple curbs. Handling is quick but stable, oddly somewhat reminiscent of my old short wheelbase recumbent. I still need to look at the crank and get the rim strips, adjust the rear derailleur (if I can figure out how). I am fine with the stock brake levers and brake pads. Really an extremely good value bike overall.

Back to School, Back to Sports.
By Regan McMahon
Back to school means back to sports for millions of American families. And for working mothers, that can mean added stress figuring out how to meet the demands of kids' sports schedules and an inflexible workplace.
Moms are often the ones who manage the family schedule, and they may have to set up a web of carpools, baby sitters and relatives to pick up and drop off for weekday practices – and cross fingers each afternoon that it's all going off without a hitch. The logistical challenges rival that of an air traffic controller and just keeping all the uniforms and equipment organized feels like a full-time job.
If you have more than one athletic child, there are more crisscrossing strands in the web. Weekends may be filled with games or tournaments that require more driving, with spouses and siblings splitting up – the mom at one kid's game, the dad and younger sister at the other one's halfway across town or the state.
For divorced parents with shared custody, there's the added complication of making sure the clean uniform is at the house where the kid is on game day, not to mention the updated schedule, so that parent knows when and where the game is.
Single parents with multiple children in sports seem like absolute miracle workers: They either have a steel-grade support network or a cloning lab in the basement. How else can they get to all those places on time?
As a working mother of two athletic kids, I have often felt overwhelmed, even though I have an involved husband who for the past few years has worked at home and carried the heaviest chauffeuring load while I'm stuck in an office building a commuter train ride away.
When we both worked in an office, our kids were in daycare till 6 p.m. every day. I envied the stay-at-home moms and flexible schedule (usually executive) dads who could pick their kids up at 3, and after a relaxing snack at home get them to a 3:30 or 4 p.m. practice on a nearby field.
When my husband became one of those guys who could volunteer to be the assistant coach because he called the shots on his own afternoon schedule, it was wonderful for him and the kids, but I felt as if I was missing out while I focused on my computer screen instead of green grass and foul lines.
Family-friendly bosses are rarer than we'd like. And gender is no guarantee. My most family-friendly boss was male, and my least was a childless female. In any case, family needs are in the eye of the beholder. Many colleagues do not see attending your kid's game as a burning necessity. Visiting your ailing mother in the hospital, maybe, but attending a Little League game when there are 12 left in the season? What's the big deal?
Well, to a parent – and maybe to her kid – it is a big deal. If he hits a home run and you miss it, you miss it. No instant replay. But to a non-parent, seeing you sneak out at early for a pint-sized sporting event can seem like an unfair privilege and provoke resentment.

Search continues for missing Poway teen
POWAY Poway High School Principal Scott Fisher's voice floated over the school's intercom system just before the final bell rang yesterday afternoon.
"Stay together. Stay strong," he told students and teachers. "Keep in mind we are a family here. This is a tough time … when we need each other."
Poway High senior Chelsea King, a standout student, cross-country runner, musician and singer, disappeared after school Thursday when she apparently went for a run alone in Rancho Bernardo Community Park near Lake Hodges.
Volunteers and law enforcement officers searched the area from Thursday night through last night without finding a trace of the 17-year-old.
Last night, at least 200 people came to the high school for a vigil. Teens hugged each other as they arrived and told stories of Chelsea. The principal wanted to keep the event within the school community and asked the media for privacy.
Before the vigil, friends described a happy, bright girl.
Melissa Fernandez, 17, said Chelsea is a bundle of energy "loved by everyone."
McKenzie Lamont, 18, said Chelsea is driven, with a goal of attending the University of Washington.
Her distraught parents, Brent and Kelly King, appealed at the park yesterday for everyone's prayers and vigilance.
"We've been missing our daughter since 6 o'clock last night," said Chelsea's father, who praised the exhaustive search efforts. "We are praying for Chelsea to come home and find us."
"Anybody out there, if you know anything about her, please just help us bring her home," her mother said through tears. "She's such a good girl."
Chelsea had planned on running at the park, on West Bernardo Drive near Aguamiel Road, on Thursday afternoon. Her family reported her missing when she failed to return home.
Her car was found in the parking lot at the park, with her cell phone locked inside. The car was hauled to the sheriff's lab last night, though Sheriff Bill Gore said nothing indicated that anything violent had happened inside.
Gore said yesterday that his department was treating Chelsea's disappearance as a missing-persons case and was following every lead and interviewing any witness.
He said about 150 searchers from as far away as Riverside, San Bernardino and Santa Barbara counties were combing a large area between the park and Lake Hodges. Del Mar lifeguards scoured the shoreline, and sheriff's dive team members worked the water.
Sheriff's Department spokesman Jan Caldwell said at a briefing that, as of 9:30 last night, about 75 search-and-rescue personnel had scoured an area of three to four miles with no new developments.
She would not comment on radio traffic reports that a shoe and a pedometer had been found in the area.
She said the search would continue through a predicted rainstorm.
Chelsea's cross-country coach, Dan Schaitel, said the team would often run the trails at the park for practice, usually along the north side of the lake.
"It's a beautiful run. The children are well-versed, especially the girls, to never go on a run by themselves," Schaitel said.
Chelsea has blond hair, blue eyes, is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 115 pounds.
"She's a typical All-American gal," said Stephanie Dorian, 44, Chelsea's cousin. "She's very easygoing, successful with what she does. She's a straight-A student and avid runner."
Dorian said the family is devastated but doing the best they can.
Schaitel described Chelsea as smart, personable and empathetic.
One of her close friends, Katie Chang, 17, said Chelsea is brilliant, independent, funny — "she brings laughter to every classroom" — and a leader. They are in Advanced Placement classes together and are peer counselors who help students with their troubles and concerns. "Now the peer counselors are grieving," she said.

Cancer survivor/Livestrong volunteer Jerry Burnstein can't wear the bracelet right now
Maybe some day, Jerry Burnstein says, he can again wear the Livestrong wristband. But not now.
For now, the yellow bracelet stays off. And all those Lance Armstrong monuments on Burnstein's wall — the autographed Armstrong jersey, the autographed poster, the autographed Sports Illustrated cover — are coming down.
"I can't look at 'em the same way," Burnstein said. "It was a con game. One of the biggest cons of all time."
The 48-year-old cancer survivor was more than just an Armstrong fan. He was a Livestrong volunteer. Organized events to raise awareness and funds for Armstrong's foundation that has been a blessing to countless cancer victims.
"Disappointed, angry, betrayed," Burnstein said. "Those three (words) really come to mind.
"A hero that you look up to all these years, then you find out it's just a big lie. Very disappointing, I'd say."
A lot of Americans feel the same way. Though many are torn as to whether to continue to wear the wristbands, most are in agreement with Burnstein concerning Armstrong. Massive disappointment in the man who won seven Tour de France championships after being diagnosed with cancer.
Burnstein's disgust didn't just fester a few days ago, when word leaked that Armstrong's Oprah interview would include confessing to doping en route to those Tour de France victories.
When the world cycling federation, U.C.I., in August stripped Armstrong of his Tour de France titles, the public outrage was soft. In fact, Livestrong donations rose. But when the U.S. Anti-Doping Association issued its 1,000-page report in October, Burnstein came to realize that his faith had been misplaced.
"You just wanted to believe him," Burnstein said. "He overcame the odds. He's a cancer survivor. He was the heart and soul of the (Livestrong) organization. He was what the yellow wrist band was all about."
Burnstein still feels mixed emotions. Calls it Jekyll and Hyde. Burnstein's disappointment over Armstrong conflicts with all the good he knows Livestrong has done and still could do.
"I'm torn," Burnstein said. "It's one of those time things. I think I'm willing to forgive and forget. Just going to take a lot of time for me.
"The way he stepped on people. Defiantly denied it. Rubs me the wrong way."
Burnstein was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2005 and underwent surgery on his nose. He became involved with Livestrong and now receives regular invitations to Austin for Livestrong events and workshops.
That's why Burnstein says he might some day again wear the yellow wristband.
"I think I can do it," he said. "I just gotta get over it. It's not about him. It's about the 28 million people around the world living with cancer. For all the bad he's done and disappointment he's caused, he's raised a heck of an organization to help a lot of people."

Google has declared war on social networking rival Facebook's core revenue stream of casual gaming with the integration of a games platform into its own Google+ service.
The move comes as Google increasingly positions its still-officially-a-test social networking service as a true competitor to Facebook, adding in equivalents to almost every Facebook feature from wall posts to the location-based Places check-in service.
The Google+ Games portal officially launched late last night and, despite an initial hiccough, appears to be going smoothly. "Sharing is about more than just conversations," Google's Vic Gundotra claimed in a blog post on the matter. "The experiences we have together are just as important to our relationships. We want to make playing games online just as fun, and just as meaningful, as playing in real life."
The new Games page tracks achievements, scores, and encourages social gaming through the ability to invite people to play titles with or against you. Google promises that it won't allow Google+ to degenerate into an annoying stream of requests for users to tend their friends' friends' virtual crops or coffee shops, however.
"If you're not interested in games," Gundotra claims, "it's easy to ignore them. Your stream will remain focused on conversations with the people you care about."
The initial list of titles, while small, includes some big names: Rovio's hit Angry Birds is included, along with PopCap's Bejeweled Blitz and Zynga's Poker. Role-playing title Dragon Age Legends, which ties in to BioWare's mainstream Dragon Age series of games, is also included in the launch list.
Social gaming is big business. On the back of little more than a basic farming simulator – itself 'inspired' by years of sim-style games for the PC – social gaming giant Zynga has come from nowhere to an industry valuation in the billions of dollars. Much of Facebook's revenue comes from its gaming partners, and the news that some big names are taking Google's entry into the market seriously is causing a few headaches at the social networking giant.
When rumours leaked that Google+ would be getting games, Facebook executives hastily called a press conference which – coincidentally, we're sure – occured at the same time as Google's launch, detailing new features for Facebook's own gaming platform. While they are evolutionary rather than revolutionary – adding features such as a live ticker of friends' gaming activity, a bigger screen for gameplay, and the ability to bookmark favourite apps for quicker access – it's hard to see Facebook's announcement as anything other than a panicked attempt to convince its gaming partners that it's still the horse to back.
At the same time, Google is pushing into other areas: as well as gaming, the company has announced the integration of Google Books into Google+. While that means little for its UK users – who are still locked out of the US-only ebook platform – those with access to the service will be able to share details of books with their Google+ circles in a similar way to Amazon's Kindle service.
While Facebook remains the king of the hill with an estimated 750 million active users, Google is certainly generating enough buzz to get the social networking Goliath distinctly nervous.Leave a comment on this article

South Brunswick defeated the Lady Trojans 4-1 April 9 at West in a pitchers' duel into the sixth inning.
The loss ended West's hopes for an undefeated season. West, which beat South earlier this season, is 11-1.
Madison Batten, the unheralded junior, pitched the best game of her career to seal the victory against rival West. Batten pitched all seven innings, allowing four hits and one run. She walked one batter and had five strikeouts.
Officials with the North Carolina Department of Transportation have released an investigative report the department received Tuesday from an independent contractor regarding the girder collapse on the second bridge to Oak Island that killed one worker in December.
According to the report prepared by Rimkus Consulting Group of Charlotte, the primary cause of girder failure was "improper tack welding of couplers to the 1-3/8 inch diameter high strength Dywidag rods."
BOLIVIA—Brunswick County Commissioners think the county has been getting ripped off when it comes to collecting the county's full share of accommodations tax proceeds.
Brunswick County Attorney Huey Marshall said commissioners voted last week to enlist the Shanahan Law Group of Raleigh to pursue litigation to ensure the county receives its full share of the 1 percent accommodations tax. All proceeds from the 1 percent tax fund the Tourism Development Authority, he said.
BOLIVIA—Brunswick County Commissioners last week revoked a resolution that enacted the county's take-home vehicle policy.
But county commissioners chairman Bill Sue and county commissioner Marty Cooke said the plan remains intact.
The federal government collects $320 for every federal dollar spent protecting beaches and coastal cities, U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre told Southeastern North Carolina mayors and commissioners during a luncheon last Thursday in the Holden Beach Chapel Fellowship Hall.
"We've been hit by hard times in textiles and tobacco, and we can't be hit hard by the third leg of that stool, tourism," or the stool will collapse, McIntyre said about what were three of North Carolina's main economic forces.
CALABASH—Town commissioners unanimously agreed Tuesday night to hire Jeremy Cribb as new town administrator for Calabash.
Cribb was among three candidates considered for the job, Calabash Mayor Anthony Clemmons said.
He replaces former town administrator Vincent Long, who resigned in March.
Cribb, a native of Whiteville who previously worked with the city of Wilmington, introduced himself following the announcement at the monthly commissioners meeting.
He told residents and merchants in attendance he has already moved to Calabash.
The 54 people who attended the first Holden Beach commissioners meeting in the new town hall Tuesday night heard architect Jim Stewart report the building is finished except for placing a few signs and the dedication plaque, which weighs 40 pounds.
Commissioner Gary Staley asked if construction came in at the $3.2 million originally budgeted, and Stewart said he hasn't completed the final bill but that it's "pretty much on budget."
The architect said he hoped all Holden Beach property owners are proud of the building.
I often hear parents talking about how their son or daughter has racked up a huge cell phone bill from excessive calling and texting. I even heard one parent say a child had sent 30,000 text messages in a month.
Well, my son has yet to send 30,000 texts in a month, but he can text and call people. He's even managed to access the mobile Web feature on my phone. While I have yet to get an astronomical phone bill, I know it's just a matter of time. After all, he's already figured this much out at the tender age of 18 months.
South Brunswick High School Principal Vann Pennell may have just been named the North Carolina Principal of the Year, but it's an award he feels belongs not only to him but also to the staff and students.
"I'm honored and pleased for the school because it is a complete school award. It's not a 'me' award or an 'I' award," he said. "Without all the things the teachers, students and the community have done, there's no way you can compete for something like that at the state level."
SUNSET BEACH—Police investigated a break-in and property damage reported April 10 at a home on Westbrook Drive.
Someone kicked in a front door, rear door, storm doors and rear window at the residence, Sunset Beach Deputy Police Chief Steve Smith said.

There is no part of the 1982 version of that film that can be improved on. The Howard Hawks version from 1951 COULD be improved on, which is why they, well, improved it. The 1982 version is a perfect example of passionate, talented filmmakers making something so wonderfully timeless that if will remain a classic forever. I have nothing personal against this new version, but watch this scene below and tell me that something is missing from this that modern, computer effects can improve on.

An upgrade in technology is coming to Glenwood City Hall.
The city council has given its approval to the installation of an "FM" assisted listening system and an audio visual system that can be utilized for guest presentations at council meetings and employee training sessions.
The FM system transmits audio signals to a receiver worn by the listener - typically a headset or neck loop. The system complies with Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines, city administrator Brian Kissel said.
A collaboration between the Glenwood Area Chamber of Commerce's marketing committee and the city's public works department has brought some summer color to Town Square.
Twenty flower baskets, containing wave petunias, have been hanging from light poles around the square for about a month.
"It's all part of the beautification of the square," chamber spokesperson Mary Gunderson said.
The Glenwood City Council has given city administrator Brian Kissel the green light to finalize the details of an "Option 2" funding plan for a $4.7 million aquatic center on property adjacent to Glenwood Community High School.
In May, Glenwood residents failed to pass a bond issue for construction of the facility. The measure received the approval of 52 percent of voters, but 60 percent was needed for passage.
Repaving an 1,800 square-foot portion of First Street, between Locust and Hazel, will cost the city of Glenwood around $16,000.
That's more than twice the amount the city would be paying if the same stretch of road were to be repaved with concrete, Glenwood Public Works Director Perry Cook said after an April 22 meeting of the Glenwood City Council.
The city of Glenwood and the Glenwood Community School District are still dotting the I's and crossing the T's on a 28-E (intergovernmental agency) agreement that would allow an outdoor aquatic center to be built on school district property.
If approved by residents of the city of Glenwood in a May 6 bond issue election, the $4.7 million facility would be built on a two-acre site adjacent to a new auxiliary gymnasium being constructed at Glenwood Community High School.
The board of directors at the Glenwood Senior Center are reaching out to the Mills County Board of Supervisors and Glenwood City Council in hopes of getting financial assistance to help cover the facility's daily operating expenses.
Senior Center board president Bonnie Millsap said rising utility and insurance costs have put a strain on the Senior Center's budget and the volunteers who run the facility are finding it increasingly difficult to meet their financial obligations.
The Mills County Trail Planning Committee, Mills County Conservation Board and the National Park Service's Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program are hosting a series of listening sessions this month to solicit public input on the future of a multi-use trails system in the county.
The Glenwood Park Board and City Council have given their blessings to a "Blues, Booze and BBQ" event at Glenwood Lake Park on July 4.
Glenwood resident Randy Romens, who also has ownership interest in Keg Creek Brewing, presented informal plans for the event to the city council at its regular meeting Tuesday, Dec. 3.
Nearly a year before next November's mid-term election, U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Waterloo) was in Glenwood last Tuesday getting the word out on his bid to fill Tom Harkin's soon-to-be-vacant seat in the U.S. Senate. Braley, who represents Iowa's first congressional district in eastern Iowa, campaigned at Doodles Bar and Grill as part of six-stop tour through southwest Iowa.
The Glenwood City Council is working on changes to its code of ordinances to better define qualifications for individuals who serve on the Glenwood Volunteer Fire Department.
Under legislation being considered by the council, all fire department members will be required to meet the following criteria:
- Be a U.S. citizen and Glenwood resident or live within three miles of the city limits;
- Be at least 18 years of age at the time of appointment;
- Have a current Iowa driver's license;

What are the pros? Easy to grow
What are the cons? Greens were tough
I just finished building my garden this year and wanted something that would be easy to grow. These are absolutely delicious! They never got that big, but I chalk that up to not enough nutrients in the soil. I live in the rainiest city in what I've been told is the world, and we are 30 miles south of Alaska, so that may have something to do with it too. The only downside I found is the greens were a bit tougher, than other beet greens I've had, but I planted chard as well, so it was easily overlooked. Next year, we are going to be building cold frames over the raised beds, so I'm going to try them again and see if that makes a difference.

What are the pros? Easy to grow, fast to mature
What are the cons? none
I am going to admit that when I purchased these the only beet I ever ate was spit out on my dinner plate in disgust but I wanted to try again and bought these golden beets hoping they would change my mind. I directly sowed these guys a little late in the season but they came up quickly---REALLY quickly and seemed to mature faster than the bulls blood beets I planted. I harvested these and decided to try one in it's all-natural state....not too bad. I think they would be much better roasted or just plain cooked but they were pretty darn ok raw. I will be planting a few more in my fall garden. Now to come up with some beet recipes....
14 out of 14 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Really tasty, pretty.
What are the cons? None
Great flavor, easy to grow, they don't stain like regular beets and taste better. Make awesome Harvard beets and are fantastic roasted. They do not like summer, I tried planting for a second crop in July and they haven't even come up yet, but that's my fault. I'm trying again for fall/winter. I have limited space and a lot of plants but most of my garden space is dedicated to these now.
11 out of 11 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Taste, color
What are the cons? Small
These beets grew much more slowly and were smaller than any other beet I've grown. They also produced less, but that being said, the taste and texture is great. They are slightly sweeter and much smoother. I pickled some of these and they are fantastic!
What are the pros? Great flavor, easy to grow
This beet has a great presentation and great flavor. This is my favorite beet to eat raw. It has a unique sweet flavor. Seems to be more pest resistant than some other varieties I've tried.

Anyone interested in dirty civic political drama should check out this story on the crumbling state of the city of Montreal from Maclean's magazine, which made for a fascinating read on my Montreal->Toronto train ride yesterday. The cover (see below) is intensely overdramatic (the mayor fears for his life!) and the story a slight let down from that exclamation pointed hype, but this is Maclean's, a magazine that I'm sure is quite desperate to sell issues, and hey, it worked for me... this was the first time I'd bought a copy in a good year. Either way - from a mafia stronghold to bribery at city hall to ridiculous mismanagement of money - the story's still all sorts of fun (though in the city's defense, a disaster it is not, and it is still most certainly Canada's most glamorous city, even though the bar ain't exactly high).

A sad announcement
I know I probably shouldn't have done it — especially because yesterday was a snowy day with the temperature here in Colorado dipping well below freezing — but on a whim I took all my guns and ammunition out in a small skiff on one of the nearby lakes and, sad to say, the boat capsized when I stupidly tried to prove to myself that I could do it Gangnam style, even in an inherently unbalanced situation, while also tending to a fishing pole.
All my firearms and my ammo stockpile is now, as a consequence, sleeping with the fishes.
Just so you know. All you who are reading here. And no, I have no plans to replace them at this point. Because children.

Can you give me GPS coordinates of the lake and an approximate depth?
I borrowed my neighbor's paddleboat to go see how many different kinds of guns I could fire at the kingfisher that has been eating the fish out of our pond.
How was I to know paddleboats had a weight limit of less than a third the total weight of my collection?
The part that ticks me off is, once the guns were overboard the boat popped right back up and I was able to get safely back to shore.
William says December 20, 2012 at 8:53 am
This is OT, but what would be the best excuse, do you think? Isn't saying your guns were stolen still likely to get you in trouble? So lost during my last move? I think a friend borrowed them, here's his last address, he was whispering "Tea Bags" under his breath, I'm so afraid?

Apparently dead 6 and 7 year olds make the best meat puppets with which to speak one's predetermined political beliefs. They should be ashamed, but their genius was to first excise the very idea of shame.
I truly wish that the media and the political class would stop dancing in the blood of these children.
May their families know peace.
I am sorry those guns are with the fishes. But it saves the black booted thugs one house they have to visit.
This happens to me all the time. I think I will have to stop replacing the guns I lost.
Private sales are legal in most states, you don't have to keep records, and there won't be any with a cash transaction.

For over 100 years the Conservatives have been giving in to the Progressives because the Progressives have been so successful at buying off a steadily growing ignorant population who vote not to preserve freedom, but vote to preserve their piece of the government money tree. Where that has gotten us is self evident and was easy to predict.
Because we keep "giving in" we have thrown ourselves into the tiger's mouth and we are about to be devoured, if we haven't been devoured already. Because freedom doesn't sell well to the morally weak, bought-off masses, we have lost our peaceful negotiating power to defend it. We have believed the other side when they say that they agree in principle without acknowledging that they haven't the slightest intention of putting that principle into practice. In effect, they lie and conservatives fall for it every time. Those, for whom the lies serve, will never vote against the liars and in most cases they are too uninformed to recognize the lies in the first place.

Watch the video embedded in that post, if you've a mind to. But don't let that Kiteley fellow know of it!
I'm sorry for your loss. I was so worried about something like this happening that after I got my license to carry, I have never purchased a firearm. As far as anyone knows.

They can't be taken and turned against you from the bottom of a lake. So at least you don't have to worry about being murdered by your own guns anymore.
Admit it though. Don't you feel kind of silly to have spent that kind of money on an undersized penis compensator?
Next time, buy a sports car, like everyone else.

You know, my stepfather gave me a lot of his guns which he had inherited from his father. I was very fond of them. Sadly, though, it appears as though my unregistered firearms have undergone a disappearance as tragic as yours. I can't give you any details because it's too upsetting.

I'm not too worried, Charles. My friend will be extremely hard to find. In fact, last I heard he was going to the desert to spend his days in fasting and prayer, so really it's just for protection against wolves and the beginning of "Canticle for Lebowitz."

The duct tape was to hold the hair plugs on, right?
Oh, a bident. Never mind.
If I owned any guns, they would have been purchased used through classified ads and the like (aka the "gun show loophole"), using cash. If I owned any guns.

There you go William. Put an add in the paper and tell anyone who calls that you already sold your gun(s)
When the gun registrars come around, point to your big screen tv and tell 'em it was a straight-up trade.
William says December 20, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Man, that is a good idea.

It's not ironic. They know it will make you more responsible and self-reliant. Which is why they don't want anyone having guns in the first place. They need to be needed. Which is why they specialize in misery, suffering and dependency.

Skiff size is the lesson you need to take with you, or maybe a catamaran next time and your firearms will remain safely in your possession.

Careless of you.
I'm a little worried about my own guns, though.
A guy came around in a panel truck a while back. He had a placard on the side of the truck listing his prices for cleaning and lubing pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns, and they were surprisingly cheap.
So, I bundled up my whole pile and gave them to him. He said they'd be done in about a week, and he'd deliver them back to me.
That was three months ago. I haven't seen his truck around again, the phone number he gave me was for a Chuck E. Cheeses pizza shop, and the address on his card seems like it would have to be about five hundred feet offshore in Lake Superior.
So, when he eventually brings them back, he's gonna get my two cents about his lack of professionalism, and about his poor service. You'd think he could at least get his phone number right.
What a loser.

Art Cashin's No Frills Preview Of The FOMC
The always pragmatic Art Cashin summarizes today's 12:30pm FOMC announcement. In summary: "look for the Fed to dangle a big carrot - some semi-specific course of
action that would be put in place if the labor markets continue to
worsen. Net/net, he needs to keep the door wide open and maybe outline certain milestone "triggers" that will allow the Fed to act later in an election year without being accused of being overtly political." Said otherwise, the happy ending will likely be deferred one more time. The market may not be very happy.
From UBS Financial Services
May I Have The Envelope, Please – This afternoon the FOMC will announce its decision on policy. At 2:30, Chairman Bernanke will hold a press conference to expand on that and take questions from reporters. The conventional wisdom is that the Fed will extend Operation Twist.
If that were so, we think the market would be disappointed. We also think that Mr. Bernanke knows that. Mr. Bernanke, throughout his tenure has scrupulously tried not to surprise the market. He has tried to make the Fed more transparent in order to avoid the risk of surprise.
Yet, Mr. Bernanke also knows that every Fed initiative is not greeted universally with open arms. The QE initiatives and even Twist have been criticized by some for producing spikes in commodities and even food prices. Within the FOMC itself, there are said to be critics who feel the recent efforts have run into the law of diminishing returns.
So, Mr. Bernanke is in a bit of a quandary. The economy may need some easing. The markets want more easing. Prior efforts, however, have not achieved the desired effect and may even have produced some unintended negative consequences.
That quandary was very much like the one that Bernanke was addressing in that speech back in 2002. So, once again we went to the file to go over the checklist. On page 5 of the speech, after introducing the concept of ultimately addressing deflation by the process of printing more dollars, Mr. B went back to monetary policy:
Of course, the U.S. government is not going to print money and distribute it willy-nilly (although as we will see later, there are practical policies that approximate this behavior).8 Normally, money is injected into the economy through asset purchases by the Federal Reserve. To stimulate aggregate spending when short-term interest rates have reached zero, the Fed must expand the scale of its asset purchases or, possibly, expand the menu of assets that it buys. Alternatively, the Fed could find other ways of injecting money into the system--for example, by making low-interest-rate loans to banks or cooperating with the fiscal authorities. Each method of adding money to the economy has advantages and drawbacks, both technical and economic. One important concern in practice is that calibrating the economic effects of nonstandard means of injecting money may be difficult, given our relative lack of experience with such policies. Thus, as I have stressed already, prevention of deflation remains preferable to having to cure it. If we do fall into deflation, however, we can take comfort that the logic of the printing press example must assert itself, and sufficient injections of money will ultimately always reverse a deflation.
Mr. Bernanke then details other means to lower rates further out in the yield curve (Operation Twist) and suggests buying mortgage paper along the curve.
If those measures fail, the bank could circuitously get money to private companies. The means would be to lend money to banks, interest free for 90 days or 180 days, taking as collateral private paper of the same duration. He then returns to the concept of devaluing the dollar and cites success of that effort in the early 1930's.
And, finally, in a separate speech back then, Mr. Bernanke suggested that the Fed might announce a wider tolerance for inflation. That might spur some of the money to mobilize as folks bought "stuff" fearing the price might rise.
So where will we go today?
Look for the Fed to lower its forecasts, perhaps significantly, at 2:00. Then at the 2:30 press conference (or maybe even in the statement) look for the Fed to dangle a big carrot - some semi-specific course of action that would be put in place if the labor markets continue to worsen.
Net/net, he needs to keep the door wide open and maybe outline certain milestone "triggers" that will allow the Fed to act later in an election year without being accused of being overtly political.

"Dangle a big carrot" The Fed is filled with a bunch of big "carrots".
Operation Kick the Can will be announced later today. It is expected to last at least through November 2012.
Neeeah, ~whats up doc?
"Dangle a big carrot" The Fed is filled with a bunch of big "carrots".Reply I'd say "horses ass radish, too"
It seems these FED meeting outcomes are getting easier and easier to decipher. I'm with Art on this one...
Place your bets people!
I'm guessing there will be some jawboning in the press conference about the need for political solutions to address the economic slump, which would essentially be an admission that the Fed can't do it.
"Place your bets people!"
So, what are your bets when Art's prediction is basically a mixed-bag fed announcement? In other words, it seems he's saying that they will inject enough hopium to keep markets going, but not enough for a big high. Sounds to me like possibility of a moderate drop, but what do you think?
I also think it's possible the fed may present something "new and innovative" that no one expected.
Bernanke is the "King of Jawboning"
I'm sure he'll say the exact, correct thing today to steer the markets in the direction he desires.
I mean really, look what he has done the last 3 years.
He's acheived the impossible.
- 60-year low interest rates
- SPY up 100% off the lows
- Commodity prices crushed
- Panic buying in anything U.S., whether it be bonds or stocks
He's the "Master and Commander"
You stole that from The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy!
Give ZH a break from your own jawboning. Leave the Devil something to do...
RobotTrader is the "King of Mimicking."
Your worse than the real ROBOtrader, at least he's original. And a giant "Fuck You" to fake Slewie and MDB too.
Commodity prices crushed? Gas hit $4.09 here when crude was $150. Crude is $82 and gas is STILL $3.67. I can't put crude in my car moron.
meanwhile the dot com bubble just gets bigger and bigger.
I triple dog dare a member of the press to throw their shoe at Bernanke today at the press conference! Go on Liesman you pussy!
I'd rather have someone throw a shoe at Liesman. I hate that pole smoking piece of trash. So sick of him fluffing Bernanke all the time, its pathetic.
"Lend money to the banks".
All you need to know, and therin lies one of the problem's.
Whatever Ben, just shut up and feed the vortex, she's hungry.

OT http://www.cnbc.com/id/47888364
JPMorgan Chase has sold off 65 percent to 70 percent of its losing "London Whale" position, which led to a multibillion-dollar trading loss for the bank, CNBC reported on Wednesday.
Eh why would they tip their hand that they are still in the trade? Seems fishy, especially leaking from cnbc.
"Net/net, he needs to keep the door wide open and maybe outline certain milestone "triggers" that will allow the Fed to act later in an election year without being accused of being overtly political."
"The market may not be very happy."
What a pathetic tale of the tape. The "market" is akin to a gerbil hitting its greedy paw on a lever and demanding yet another crack pellet.
100% BOHICA (bend over, here it comes again)
There is only one way out for the Fed, it's just a question of when and that in large part is caught up in perception management efforts.
I'll keep the noose wide open over the gallows for Bernanke as he is stepping ever so close to creating a spiralling dollar that will lead the US economy into the abyss. The only reason the bond markets have not already reacted much more negatively to the US fiscal policy is because Europe is so much worse off. Mark my words. If Bernanke goes into another large QE program the US debt will be downgraded yet again and that could cause an extreme financial crisis.
I also expect that he will say that the gov't needs to provide direction on the fiscal front and that the Fed, despite its range of tools and options, needs the government to fulfill its mandate in this effect.
Mr Bernanke, my name is Rock. Can I introduce you to my partner, Hard Place.
If we do fall into deflation, however, we can take comfort that the logic of the printing press example must assert itself, and sufficient injections of money will ultimately always reverse a deflation.
Can it be that Bernanke does not understand that injections of money during deflation do not bring money back to life - they change the way debt masquerading as savings is destroyed - in deflation it is destroyed by debt defaults, and in Bernanke's brainless scheme it is destroyed by dilution.
On second thought, Bernanke might understand this all too well - and in this corrupt cronycapitalist remnant of an economy, the Inner Party members first get the word which way it will go...
I'd like to propose a new economic theory based on Sir Isaac Newtons third law of motion, "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".
For every inflationary event, there is an equal and opposite deflationary event.
After all, monetary inflation is equal to currency value deflation.
From which it follows that there is no net long-term gain from inflationary or deflationary policy. Instead it is a mechanism to give free money away to a priviledged few.
Thomas Jefferson said pretty much the same thing.
If milestones are set for more easing the sociopaths will assure that they are met.
"He has tried to make the Fed more transparent in order to avoid the risk of surprise."
Cashin hitting the sauce again. Art, Ben cares for one thing only, his bankster masters, and feeding them money. Period. If he had any integrity he would have hung himself already.
Surely there has never been a Fed Chairman that has so wantonly condoned market manipulation by his own institution and the non armslength primary dealers that it serves. I don't think he really wanted to make the Fed more transparent he just knows that it is politically correct to talk in those terms.
Look out below!!!!
A carrot farmer and his carrots -- oh how he teases the starving markets.
Art Cashin knows his shizzle if only he called some forex plays Forex4you Technical Analysis
Fuck YOU Ben Bernanke!
"unintended negative consequences' i am sooo tired of that bull. the rationalization of continuing an action when its premise produces "unintended" consequences is insanity. all consequences are an evaluation of the merit of the underlying assumptions. there are NO unintended consequences. there are only consequences. they expose the merits or flaws in the assumption. bad/negative consequences can only be followed by more of the same unless there is a change in the original assumptions. people who accept those bad/negative consequences and advocate continued use of the base assumptions are fools or stooges or shills.
Yesterday He said the FED had to twist into mortgages to the tune of $699bbn because Bernake was afraid of disapointing markets and Benny couldnt afford a 3rd 20% drop in equity mkts without losing his wealth effect.
Now hes talking down expectations HOPING he doesnt give up his 5% rally on a dissapointment.
Why does he say 'disappoint markets' and 'the market expectations are' and such like phrases? Is he not aware that the markets consist mostly of software programs reacting to buzzwords in headlines?
It will be Twist which lowered the 7 and 10 year Treasuries a whopping 20 basis points!!!!
If the markets want QE and the key is unemployment, then I would expect a round of layoffs to force the issue.

Evening all,
Does anyone know how to reset the bios password on a Acer Aspire 5315 laptop?
I found the cmos battery, well wot i think it is but its soldered onto the motherboard so left that avenue alone as my soldering skills are pants.
I tried also a programme called CmosPwd but that didn work for me either - anyone else got any idea's? Does anyone by any chance know the backdoor password for this make and model of laptop? There are many floating about but I only got two attempts left I'm pretty sure before the function is disabled as I tried one pasword already, so I beleive I have two more attempts left.
Any help with this would be great. Thanks for your time.

Indianapolis, Ind. - After tallying three of the Bulldogs' five goals in a pair of Horizon League victories last weekend, Butler sophomore forward Carrie Twyman was named the league's Player of the Week. The league office made the announcement on Monday (Oct. 29).
Twyman provided the bulk of the Butler scoring in their final two matches of the year in helping the Bulldogs to a fourth-place finish in the Horizon League standings and a home match in the league championship quarterfinals. She tallied her first score at Youngstown State on Friday (Oct. 26) as the Bulldogs went on to a 2-1 victory over the Penguins before notching two more strikes against Cleveland State in the Bulldogs' 3-1 victory over the Vikings.
"Carrie has been playing some of her best soccer in the later part of our season," head coach Tari St. John said. "She committed herself to working on her weaknesses as a player a month or so ago and, as a team, we are beginning to see her hard work pay off. She has solidified herself as a serious offensive threat for any team we face."
Twyman is the second Bulldogs to be recognized with the league's weekly award. Junior midfielder Angie Muir received the honor on Sept. 17.
Butler opens up the 2007 Horizon League Championship Quarterfinals at home against Valparaiso on Saturday (Nov. 3) at 12:00 noon in the Butler Bowl.

what does everyone else think? obviously there aren't a lot of positives to take out of the game from an offensive standpoint. a-rob continues to run well when he gets his touches, but other than that, we look eerily similar to last year. could this be a problem of personnel, they haven't picked up the new system as fast as we've hoped? the system has worked for herman in the past, so i'm doubting that it is the cause.
the defense was put in bad positions all day. how many times did our o actually cross midfield? i can't force myself to watch the replay, so i am completely guessing right now, but i can only think of a couple times that we crossed the 50. i'm surprised to see that they only had the ball 7 minutes longer than us-it seemed like our d was out there the entire game. all things considered, i thought they outplayed expectations yesterday.
looking forward-we have what most would consider to be 3 very winnable games-not gimmies by any stretch as we obviously have a long ways to go before we call any game against a fbs team a gimmie, but winnable none the less. i seriously doubt our ability to make a run at 6-6 and a possible bowl game this year, but i will be looking for marked improvement week to week, and that is still possible.
there are to many negatives to talk about yesterday, i think it is one of those games you throw the tapes away if you're the coach and just move forward to kent state. i as a fan am trying to do this, get back behind the team, and pull for the boys to break the streak next week in ohio. there is a lot of season left to play, and one bad game does not make the year. obviously if it continues, we will have to go from there, but let's see how the group reacts next week before any of us jump off the ledge
I anticipate another crappy year with us winning 3 or 4 games. What really sucks in that the north is weak, we have the easiest schedule we'll have in a long time, etc.

That is bad luck on the draw. The last couple of years set us up for this. Unfortunately we just have to let it run its course.
I think we are in for a rough season. What people must realize this is the third coaching staff in 4 years (Read: not good for players execution) and we are trying to run a system that the players were not recruited for.
Anyone thought the team would pick up the new systems were drinking the kool aid.
I think that it was both...Bump in the road in that we couldn't get our offense going and gave up momentum; microcosm because we couldn't make the necessary adjustments to win the ball game.
Honestly, it was a bad game, but if we can overcome it, it was a good one for learning experience. Now are players and staff have a good example of what doesn't work...you don't throw away this tape...you move on, but you don't throw it away.
If we don't take it to K-State...then I'll be worried.
I agree this was just a bump in the road. I don't really think the game needs to be broken down or over analyzed, as I think the main key to this loss was lack of control of emotions. It was clear that the ISU players and coaches(offensively that is) were pressing and trying to hard, which caused most of the mistakes. The team(coaches and staff) were not letting the game come to them, they were trying to force their scheme, and it just wasn't working.
Frankly, I thought our defense looked pretty good in the first half, especially considering the field position Iowa got.
Offensively, AA was not making good decisions, and I am hopeful that Herman and Rhoads will learn from this game that you have take what you are given, and why not run the ball over and over and over until the other team starts to play run defense, then start throwing it, and mixing it up.
I was most sad to see the complete lack of composure that the team had displayed against NDSU that impressed me. They just tried way to hard and I don't think yesterday's game was a clear indicator of anything.
i am still drinking the kool-aid. our next three games are very winnable. A 4-1 start would be huge for confidence with this group. I am not sayin a bowl game is in the works but the same people who thought the iowa game would be a walk in the park simply because UNI almost beat them seem to be the same people saying our season is all but lost. I refuse to believe that....
Eternal Optimist
Where was it that someone put up the stats from Herman's first year at rice and his second year there. His offense wasn't all that special the first year but once the players got a chance to grasp it, they took off last year, as we all know
"These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it." - Charles Barkley
I said 5-7 before this game with a win over Iowa at home. I thought Iowa would be 7-5.
Now I give us 4-8 and Iowa 8-4.

This was the case for Rich Rodriguez as well. They showed his 1st year/2nd year stats at WVA and indicated Michigan looks to be following suit.

I will admit that you could be right with your assessment....If we do have another crappy four win year with the next two years of texas- ttu and ou it looks like it could be a trifecta of crappy years!!!!
Oh well nobody ever promised ISU football to be a winner ...just the usual athletic director selling HOPE.
So we had one bad game and suddenly its doom and gloom. I"m not saying that I know that this season will be as good as originally thought but we really don't know at this point. The problem yesterday was with mistakes. Mistakes can be corrected. Physically we looked as though we could play. In the seasons that we struggled that was the issue. We have two very winnable games the next couple of weeks and if the team fix these mistakes we can win some games. Right now I see wins over Kent, Army, KSU, and Colorado. If we can pull off one more that makes us bowl elligible.
I have mixed feelings on the team. If Iowa is a very good team, then I'm happy with the play of the defense aside from 1 or 2 players, and the offense minues the QB. Unfortunately having such disastrous play at QB can quickly undermine the rest of the team's efforts, and my main concern is that they get some positive momentum going and fast. If they don't, then the defense won't hold up, as we've seen in past years, and every positive sign I took away from the game will melt away.
Hopefully AA or Tiller will be able to bring some sort of stability to the position. Switching offenses takes some time to get comfortable I guess, and how they will develop as well as how the offense will be adapted to the QB's we currently have will be interesting to watch.
The Kansas State game is for sure a win! They are terrible.
