SEASIDE When the ospreys arrive in Seaside in the next few days, the whole world will be watching.
The birds will be putting on a show, and they probably wont even know it.
But they might notice that their nest 60 feet in the air looking out over Broadway Park has been remodeled a bit.
Attached to it is a long wooden arm, cranked at an angle, and a camera is perched at the top, of the arm, adjusted to look directly in their nest.
As they clean up the nest they left last fall, lay their eggs, feed their chicks and teach them to fly, everyone will be able to watch.
Like reality TV, every squabble, every intimate make-up session, every day, whether its good or bad, will be publicly displayed.
Theres no telling how the ospreys will feel about it, but Seaside residents are looking forward to the time they can turn on their computers and watch the ospreys in Broadway Park.
The ospreys are expected back, possibly even this week. Last year, they arrived April 3.
The story has been such a good story, and because the birds have been here a few years, people in town have taken ownership, said Neal Wallace, public works director for Seaside.
Wallace and several others huddled under the roof of a covered picnic area, shivering in the cold wind and rain earlier this month while a crew worked to attach a camera on the platform where the osprey nest rests.
While Wallace had hoped to have the camera, which was paid for by community donations, operational, a few glitches caused a delay. It should be online before the ospreys return, he said.
It was a Murphys Law day, Wallace said about the first day of work.
Although the arm holding the camera was attached to the platform, and the wiring was about finished, someone noticed that the angle of the stationary camera would be pointing at the platform, not into the nest. The wooden arm holding the camera needed to be adjusted at a different angle a problem that couldnt be fixed in a few minutes.
Its not anybodys fault, Wallace said. Some days youre the windshield and some days youre the bug. Today we were the bug.
But on another day, when a crane was available and the guys from Olympia Systems Inc. also known as CritterZoom.com returned to finish the job, the cam was in place for everyone to access.
Its the next chapter in the osprey saga, Wallace said.
The saga Wallace referred to started several years ago when a master plan for Broadway Park called for reconstruction of the ball field and installation of artificial turf. Fundraising was slow, and the park development languished for a while. Then, local agencies and organizations decided to pool their money, and in 2011, the artificial turf was ordered.
But before the turf could be rolled out, there was, of course, a glitch.
An osprey couple had decided that a light pole in the field would make a fine place for their nest, which is at least 4 feet in diameter.
I had quite a few people tell me we couldnt go forward with the osprey there, Wallace said.
But not to be deterred, Wallace and his crew wrapped some artificial turf around the pole to give the birds a sense of protection. It turned out that the fine-feathered couple wasnt bothered at all.
After the ospreys left town for the winter, a 60-foot-tall hemlock pole was put into the ground 450 feet east of their original nest. A square, cedar-framed platform was attached to the pole, and the nest, which Wallace had salvaged, was placed on top of it.
Sure enough, the couple returned to the nest last year and went about their duties, as if their summer home had never been moved.
Then, came the idea of an osprey cam.
Wallace contacted Phil Turner, owner of Olympic Systems Inc. A former surveillance camera operator, Turner decided he enjoyed training his cameras on animals rather than people. He has provided cameras for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife as well as organizations in four states.
CritterZoom.com shows bald eagles, barn owls, great blue herons, harbor seals and other animals through the lenses of the cameras Turner has designed and mounted. The site gets 500,000 to 1 million views a year, he said.
Turner also offers online classes for children.
I love the smiles of the kids when they see whats out there, Turner said. I dont think people know whats out there.
Im in love with the wildlife camera, Turner added, as he prepared the 1.3-megapixel camera and a smaller back-up before they were mounted on the platform. I laughingly call my business a for-profit nonprofit.
Each camera provides a color view during the day and infrared at night. The secondary camera, however, has only one-third of the resolution of the larger camera. Both are stationary and cannot be remotely operated to turn in a new direction.
In addition to the camera, the platform will be wired for sound, as well.
The signal from the wireless camera will go to a receiver on the top of the Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District building nearby. From there, the signal will be sent to a server in Los Angeles. The server is provided at a reduced cost by a benefactor who also loves animals, Turner said.
The cost to set up the osprey cam is $4,600 even with some of the labor donated by Turner and others and the use of the spider lift -- a crane with a basket to hold two people donated by Luke Colvin, of Arbor Care.
To pay for the installation, the Necanicum Watershed Council raised $1,600 from its annual Necanicum Bird Discovery Days this year and in 2012. In addition, donations came from the Seaside Visitors Bureau, $1,000; Seaside Downtown Development Association, $500; Seaside Chamber of Commerce, $500; Del Sol, $250; and several other businesses. Erin Barker, owner of Beachhouse Vacation Rentals, loaned Turner the use of a beach house.
When it looked like there might not be enough money to order the osprey cam and attach it to the platform before the osprey arrived, Melyssa Graeper, director of the Necanicum Watershed Council, offered to underwrite most of the project, using unrestricted, donated funds, with the promise of being paid back when the osprey donations came in. She knew people were interested when there were so many people asking questions at a recent Seaside Downtown Development Association meeting.
Everyone was real excited, she said. There was such an effort to save the nest. People are interested.
In addition to the $1,600 the council is donating, proceeds from future Bird Days will go to pay the $400 annual website fee.
I can tell you Im not going to get a lot of work done when the ospreys show up, Graeper said, while she watched the crane rise up to the nest. Im glad Ive got two computer monitors one osprey monitor and one work monitor.
Also watching the installation and taking photos was local conservationist Neal Maine, who helped to design the platform and research the best location for it.
Always the teacher, Maine said the osprey cam presented a potential for wonderful community education and original research. By viewing the osprey, students could document the chicks lives and possibly learn something new about them.
Im sure everyone will enjoy watching the juveniles grow up, fledge and leave. Its like they (those observing) are the parents sometimes, Maine said.
The ospreys choice to make Seaside their summer residence is a sign that the local environment is healthy, he said.
Its one of those measuring sticks, Maine added.
They fall into the group as keystone organisms. In order for this to work for them, everything below them has to work the air, the trees, water quality and fish. Their presence indicates the intactness of the habitat.
But, although people will view them through the camera, its really the ospreys that are watching their guests, Maine said.
We invaded their environment, and if were good, theyll allow us to stay, he said.

Great Experience!
Fund: BV Capital
Posted by nostradamus on 2008-06-11
They have focused on new media and Internet for a long time and know this space better than any one I've ever encountered. They're also unique because they have strong networks in Europe. If you're doing something in another space, then I wouldn't bother trying to get their attention.
I've worked with BV on 2 companies over the last 10 years, most recently as a member of the senior management of one of their consumer Internet portfolio companies. Mathias was on the board and was incredibly helpful in building and selling the company. I've been in M&A banking and corporate development in my previous life for 10 years. Mathias comes across as low key, but I've rarely come across a more savvy deal maker. He's also a great strategist and operates with the highest integrity. I would no doubt work with them again on any of my ventures.PRIVATE: Members Only

Stanley Ann Dunham, Barack Obama's mother, was registered for college classes in Seattle only 15 days after reportedly delivering her first-born child in Honolulu, according to school records obtained by WND.
How Dunham was able to travel the 2,680 air miles from Honolulu to Seattle only a few days after the birth of her baby is not disclosed in the currently available public record concerning President Obama's birth.
Nor is there anything on the public record to explain how Dunham managed to find an apartment and relocate with her infant son so she could begin taking university classes within 15 days of the baby's birth.
Advertisement - story continues below
There is also nothing on the public record to suggest Madelyn Dunham, Ann Dunham's mother, or any other family member preceded or accompanied Dunham to Seattle in August 1961 to help the new mother and infant son find appropriate living arrangements and complete the university's enrollment process prior to beginning classes.
Documentation for these timeline conclusions come from records recently provided WND by the University of Washington at Seattle.
On July 29, the University of Washington e-mailed WND Dunham's complete grade transcript covering her attendance at the university. The university confirmed Dunham's classes starting in the fall of 1961 were night classes.
Advertisement - story continues below
The transcript clearly documents that Dunham was enrolled at the University of Washington for two classes that began on Aug. 19, 1961: Anthropology 100, "Introduction to the Study of Man" and Political Science 201, "Modern Government."
President Obama celebrated his 48th birthday today, Aug. 4; on Aug. 19, 1961, Barack Obama Jr. was 15 days old.
Want to turn up the pressure to learn the facts? Get your signs and postcards asking for the president's birth certificate documentation here.
Part of the University of Washington's records regarding Ann Dunham
The transcript also shows Dunham was enrolled at the University of Washington as a "nonresident citizen," which meant she would not be able to take advantages of the tuition breaks she should have been able to receive if she had continued her studies as a resident student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Advertisement - story continues below
WND previously reported Dunham took up residence at 516 13th Ave. E. in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle.
Mary Toutonghi, according to an interview published in the Seattle Chat Club blog, claimed to have baby-sat for the future president at Dunham's Seattle apartment in January and February 1962. The Toutonghi interview provides no information about Dunham arriving in Seattle to begin classes in the autumn of 1961.
When asked why Dunham left her husband in Hawaii to come to Seattle with her infant son, Toutonghi explained Dunham told her that she and the baby would be going to Kenya when she finished her education, as she had promised her parents when she was married.
Advertisement - story continues below
Toutonghi also added Dunham's explanation that her husband had an obligation to his tribe to take another wife that was a full-blooded Kenyan. Toutonghi further commented, "I don't think I could have been that brave."
In an interview with WND, Toutonghi said she baby-sat for infant Obama "for two or three months, when he was seven months old," adding "it was in the spring."
Given Obama's birth Aug. 4, 1961, this would put the dates Toutonghi baby-sat infant Obama in February and March 1962.
"My daughter was 18 months old and she just had her 50th birthday this year," Toutonghi recalled. "So, that would make the time around February and March 1962."
Advertisement - story continues below
"Ann Dunham and the baby moved in while we were there," she remembered. "We managed the house and they had the rooms on the first floor to the right, immediately above the garage. Each of the rooms on that floor comprised a one-bedroom apartment. I can't remember when she moved in, but the baby was seven months old."
"It was kind of weird, but she never told me why she abandoned her husband," she commented. "I don't know if the courses she wanted were here. I couldn't figure out why she was here in Seattle while her husband was in Hawaii."
Ann Dunham's residence in Seattle, 1961 (Washington State Archives, Puget Sound Branch, King County Assessor Property Record Card collection)
Barack Jr. apparently was only a few days old for the travel from Hawaii to Seattle.
Advertisement - story continues below
In deciding to take her child and move to Seattle, Ann Dunham abandoned her husband, Barack Obama, who stayed behind in Hawaii, evidently to continue his studies at the University of Hawaii.
This now-documented account of President Obama's birth timeline differs dramatically from the narrative the president told in his autobiography "Dreams from My Father."
In that book, Obama claimed his mother remained with him in Hawaii until 1962 when supposedly Barack Obama Sr. made the decision to abandon Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Jr. in Hawaii because Harvard did not provide sufficient funds for him to take his family with him to Cambridge, Mass., to begin his studies in September 1962.
Ann Dunham's transcript from the University of Washington shows she continued to take classes there through the spring term 1962, which suggests she not only abandoned Barack Obama Sr. in Hawaii, but also that she remained in Seattle to continue her studies there well into 1962.
Advertisement - story continues below
More of the University of Washington's records regarding Ann Dunham
Stuart Lau, registrar at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, confirmed to WND that Dunham attended the fall term 1960 and did not resume studies at that university until the spring term 1963.
Lau also confirmed to WND that Barack Obama Sr. attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa from the fall term 1959 through the spring term 1962.
This confirms the conclusion that Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. never lived together as man and wife after the birth of Barack Obama Jr..

Dunham's University of Washington timeline permits WND to refine President Obama's birth timeline as follows:

HEREFORD - A malfunctioning furnace was the cause of a two-alarm fire Wednesday afternoon that destroyed a collection of classic cars.
The barn/garage and cars inside were owned by Joseph Perricone, 60.
Hereford Volunteer Fire Company Chief Josh Borowski said the call was received at noon and firefighters were on the scene until 4:45 p.m.
He sent out a second alarm and there were approximately 12 other fire companies that came to help extinguish the blaze, he said.
The roof of the structure collapsed during the fire and Borowski estimated the damage around $500,000, which makes the building to be a total loss.
Published reports said that Perricone was able to get a 1989 two-tone Rolls Royce Corniche out of the garage before the blaze took over.
Borowski said that the fire was isolated enough that there was no threat it would jump to other buildings.

Once you have decided to leave, there are many things to consider, including what you will do next. If you plan to begin or continue your college education, you'll need to determine what benefits are available to you under the GI Bill. Visit the Defense Finance and Accounting Service website or ask a question about military pay.
Insurance is something else you'll need to consider. While in the armed forces, your health insurance is provided at no cost to you. When talking to potential employers, ask if they offer health insurance benefits. Consider whether you need to continue with the TRICARE health insurance program. Your new employer may provide life insurance, but check with the Department of Veterans Affairs if you want to purchase coverage before you leave.
Retirement savings are another consideration. Your TSP savings have some tax consequences that are unique to you as a service member. If you have contributions that are subject to the combat zone tax exclusion, there are restrictions on the types of retirement plans they can be rolled over into. Visit the TSP website for more information.
Four out of ten people cash out their retirement savings when changing jobs. While it may not seem as though you have saved very much money, it can be very hard to save the same amount once you spend it. By cashing out, you may be subject to a tax penalty. You also miss out on the power of compound interest, which works for you when you have a sum of money already saved.
You'll want to learn about the retirement savings plan that your new employer provides. Retirement plans can vary greatly, so once you get the information from your employer, be sure you read and understand it.
Remember, this is one aspect of your future you control. The earlier you plan for retirement, and the more you save toward it, the better your chances of having it work out as you planned.

CVE-2006-5815: remote code execution in ProFTPD Nov 27 2006 04:37PM
John Morrissey (jwm proftpd org)
On 6 November 2006, Evgeny Legerov <admin (at) gleg (dot) net [email concealed]> posted to BUGTRAQ[1],
announcing his commercial VulnDisco Pack for Metasploit 2.7[2]. One of the
included exploits, vd_proftpd.pm, takes advantage of an off-by-one string
manipulation flaw in ProFTPD's sreplace() function to allow a remote
attacker to execute arbitrary code.
This vulnerabillity, identified as CVE-2006-5815[3], is believed to affect
all versions of ProFTPD up to and including 1.3.0, but exploitability has
only been demonstrated with version 1.3.0rc3. The demonstrated exploit
relies on write access via FTP for exploitability, but other attack vectors
may make exploitation of a read-only FTP server possible.
This vulnerability has been patched[4] in the latest release of ProFTPD,
1.3.0a, which is available from the ProFTPD web site,
http://www.proftpd.org/. Mitigation techniques have also been developed for
use until a patched version can be installed.
10 November - security (at) proftpd (dot) org [email concealed] receives a message from a ProFTPD
user inquiring about a fix for the vulnerability announced
in GLEG's product.
10 November - ProFTPD core team attempts contact with admin (at) gleg (dot) net. [email concealed]
15 November - Second contact attempt with admin (at) gleg (dot) net. [email concealed]
16 November - Contact established, vulnerability details transferred.
20 November - Disclosure date coordinated.
27 November - Coordinated disclosure.
Given the Thanksgiving holiday, the ProFTPD core team chose to perform a
coordinated disclosure the following Monday, to allow affected users and
vendors ample opportunity to perform patching operations.
Unfortunately, erroneous information on the location and nature of this flaw
has disseminated from unofficial sources. Some vendors have already released
patches that attempt to address CVE-2006-5815 based on reports that a bug in
ProFTPD's CommandBufferSize processing is its cause. To the best of the core
team's knowledge, the CommandBufferSize bug in ProFTPD is not exploitable.
Vendors are welcomed and encouraged to contact security (at) proftpd (dot) org [email concealed] to
exchange information on announced vulnerabilities, and we endeavor to work
to the best of our abilities with those contacting the core team. Given that
we had no information about this vulnerability until several days after it
was published and a CVE issued, we attempted to address it to the best of
our abilities. Constructive criticism is welcome on how to better handle
similar situations should they arise in the future.
Some users may not be able to immediately patch their ProFTPD installations.
Until they are able to install a patched version, the following steps can
mitigate the impact of this flaw:
- Remove DisplayConnect, DisplayLogin, DisplayChdir, DisplayFirstChdir,
DisplayFileTransfer, AccessDenyMsg, and WrapDenyMsg directives from your
ProFTPD configuration.
- Avoid using variable substitutions/magic cookies/%-style escapes in
/etc/shutmsg, when specifying a warning message with the ftpshut(8)
command, or in RewriteRule directives.
- Add a DenyFilter directive to your configuration to limit FTP command
arguments to only characters that you require. For example: 'DenyFilter
[^A-Za-z0-9_.-]' limits FTP command arguments (such as filenames) to
alphanumeric characters, the underscore, period, and dash.

Early last year my family took a ski trip to Colorado. We took our time driving home and took a different route through Oklahoma than we had taken before. As we were driving down the highway, I started seeing exit signs for the city of Pawnee. I knew it was familiar, but I couldn't place it. Then it hit me: Pawnee was the city I had researched for my Creed line. Gussie Creed is my great-grandmother on my father's side and I knew that she and her parents had lived in Pawnee County, Oklahoma. We were this close...I just had to go. So I asked my husband to take a brief detour just to see the town.
|Joseph and Mary Creed of Pawnee, Oklahoma
I'm not sure what I had hoped to see in Pawnee, maybe just to know that I had walked in their footsteps. In our brief 2-hour stop I was not only able to do that, but learned information I had not known and patronized businesses in small-town America. This short adventure is one we still talk about. I had often wondered why the Creed family had come to Oklahoma and stayed. Having visited and met the locals I know exactly why they stayed. You just can't find this kind of stuff on the Internet!

UBS news
Industry sees confidence confirmed
The sharp improvement in sentiment seen in industry earlier this year has already led to significantly more stable business activity. But according to UBS it will not be until the third quarter that the upward trend really takes hold.
UBS Outlook, 3rd Quarter 2002
Following the gloomy business trend in the first quarter, Swiss industry was almost unanimous in predicting a distinctly brighter outlook. This optimism has been largely confirmed in the figures for the second quarter. The results of the latest UBS quarterly survey, conducted in June among some 300 industrial companies, show that industrial activity has turned the corner. On balance, business activity as an average of orders received, production and sales has improved in all but one sectors, and this improvement has been impressive: while on balance 32% of firms saw their business activity decline in the first quarter, the corresponding figure was just 11% in the second quarter. The economic recovery now under way should gain further momentum in the third quarter.
UBS business cycle indicator points to turnaround
The UBS business cycle indicator, which is based on the survey results, charts the industry trends in relation to overall economic performance. As a barometer of gross domestic product (GDP), it is a reliable indicator of cyclical turning points and leads official data by two quarters. In March it had already signalled a consolidation in real GDP growth in the second quarter, and this is confirmed by the latest data. The indicator also signals much more positive dynamism for the third quarter.
First signs of recovery
All the indicators show that industrial activity moved out of the doldrums in the second quarter. Although taking the average of all companies no positive values were achieved, the difference between positive and negative replies is without exception now much closer to a turnaround: only 12% of firms recorded a drop in orders, compared with 36% in the first quarter. At the same time, some of the excessive stocks of finished goods were reduced, and both production and order backlogs fell less sharply than before. The decline in sales and earnings also slowed, though the recovery here was checked both by the strong franc and by the continuing reluctance to invest in capital goods. The trend in headcount was still muted, with a balance of 22% of companies reporting a fall on the prior-year level, but even this represents an improvement on the first quarter.
Upward trend emerging
The UBS survey points to a positive trend in business activity in the third quarter. Companies expect an increase in foreign orders, whereas domestic orders are expected to stagnate. As a result, the production cutback should be coming to an end. Firms in a number of sectors are even planning to increase production. By and large, they are hoping for a recovery in sales and an easing of the earnings squeeze, but this is likely to be limited on account of the sustained pressure on prices. Because the upturn is only in an initial phase, there are no signs yet of a turnaround in headcount. One in nine firms regards a further reduction in staff numbers between July and September as necessary.
Marked differences between sectors
The upturn in the second quarter varied widely in strength across the different sectors of industry. Food continued its unchecked upward trend, making it the only sector where business activity has never slipped into negative territory during the current cycle. Chemicals/pharmaceuticals, watchmaking and paper also moved back to positive growth. Some sectors on the other hand, chief amongst them textiles, timber & furniture and capital goods, remained mired in cyclical depression, though the low point seems to have passed. The only sector still languishing was printing, where business activity in fact fell sharply.
The third quarter is forecast to be much better for all sectors except paper and watchmaking. For the first time since the start of the year, companies surveyed even expect business activity to be largely positive. Thanks to ongoing good consumer demand, the growth leader is the food industry, followed by textiles and chemicals/pharmaceuticals. However business activity in the plastics, printing/graphics, machinery, metals and timber/furniture sectors is unlikely as yet to move into positive territory.

In 1968, the Swedish central bank donated money to the Nobel Foundation to establish a Nobel Prize in economics. It became the sixth category in which the world's most prestigious accolade was awarded, joining physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. Economics, which when the other five prizes were created in the late 19th century had been in its infancy, now was legitimized. Indeed, a solid conceptual framework seemed to have been developed to analyze relationships between economic players and, equally important, to use the laws of economics to forecast the future, formulate policy and create stable and prosperous societies.
All that is now out the window. Recent economic history shows that both academic economists and economic and monetary policymakers do not know the first thing about inflation, which has far-reaching implications for economic science in general.
Unproven Theories
Concerns about the laws of economics, at least as far as analyzing inflation was concerned, began to emerge a decade after the first Nobel Prize was awarded in 1969. The close correlation between economic growth and price increases had been well-understood both on the intuitive and theoretical level. Faster economic growth has to produce a higher rate of inflation and, in turn, slower growth also slows price increases. A recession can give rise to deflation, a situation when the prices of goods and services fall. Moreover, once inflation takes hold, inflationary expectations perpetuate price increases. Market players rush to buy goods and services to beat the next round of price increases, thus pushing prices higher. In deflation, the same spiral works in reverse. As consumers wait to buy, prices fall.
However, in the late 1970s a wholly unexpected and unexplained phenomenon occurred — stagflation, when double-digit inflation was accompanied by stagnant economic growth. Soon, however, any concerns were allayed when inflation was defeated by the application of conventional economic policies. The Federal Reserve under Paul Volcker jacked up interest rates, whereupon prices began to moderate.
After the experiences of the 1970s and early 1980s, inflation was seen as public enemy No. 1 and the Fed raised rates every time economic growth accelerated and the economy seemed in danger of overheating. But inflation continued to moderate, and stayed very low even through the 1990s economic boom, when the unemployment rate fell well below what had previously been considered a full-employment rate of unemployment — which by definition couldn't get any lower without triggering inflation. That too was inconsistent with economic theory — because strong demand for labor was supposed to stoke labor costs and unleash inflation. But since the economy was enjoying a period of strong noninflationary growth, this problem was ignored or pooh-poohed by economists.
An Amazing Millennium
But the really crazy stuff began to happen after the year 2000. The U.S. economy went through an extraordinary economic boom while riding roughshod over all economic prescriptions and disregarding flashing warning signs of imminent inflation. Throughout the first decade of the new century, inflation remained a dog that stubbornly refused to bark.
Back in the 1970s, when I first began studying economics, the origins of the inflationary spiral that we were living through at the time were clear. Lyndon Johnson had made a political choice to pursue his War on Poverty at home while fighting a real war abroad. The government began running a budget deficit and by the early 1970s it resulted in a burst of inflation. After 1973, higher oil and other commodity prices contributed to the already mounting inflationary pressures.
A very similar scenario played out starting in 2001 — except for a repeat of inflation. Great Society programs now took the form of massive tax cuts, whereas the United States soon found itself entangled in two costly wars at the same time. Oil prices moved very much as they did in the 1970s, rising for a full decade and stabilizing at a far higher plateau than had previously been the case. But price increases, at least as measured by the consumer price index, remained extremely moderate and inflation was never a major problem facing the monetary authorities.
After the 2008 global financial crisis, matters became even more perplexing. David A. Stockman, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget during Ronald Reagan's first term, has become an implacable critic of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. He believes that the Fed has no idea what it is doing and into what kind of uncharted waters recent monetary and fiscal policies have taken the ship of the U.S. economy.
He is most likely right. Nothing in past economic practice allows us to understand where the economy is headed, and economic theory is no guide, either. If Prof. Bernanke, while teaching economics in Princeton, had a dream in which he as a Fed chairman were keeping U.S. interest rates at zero for more than two-and-a-half years while printing some $3 trillion in additional money and watching the federal government run up a string of $1 trillion-plus deficits, he would have asked to be awakened from this horrible nightmare. Any sane economist would have told you only five years ago that maintaining such policies even for a few short months would trigger a burst of inflation, undermine worldwide confidence in the dollar and irreversibly shred confidence in paper money.
Need for a New Model
Bernanke is like a cardiologist who puts a patient diagnosed with hypertension, high cholesterol and clogged arteries on a high salt, meat-and-butter diet only to observe in amazement that instead of having a heart attack or a stroke, his patient begins to show clear signs of improvement.
There have been attempts to explain why inflation has not occurred yet, or why it will happen later and what has kept consumer prices from rising. Nevertheless, there is enough evidence to suggest that there is something wrong with the underlying theory and that the origins of inflation are not sufficiently grasped by economic science. Previous experiences with inflation — hyperinflation in Germany in the early 1920s and a general acceleration of prices in the world economy in the 1970s — were probably not enough to study the phenomenon in depth.
There are two implications that follow from this statement. First, if we don't understand inflation, it means that we do not fully understand money and its role in the economy. Since money is the lifeblood of the modern economy, this means, more broadly, that our existing economic models do not provide a useful framework for analyzing economic processes and relationships.
Second, without a clear understanding of the origins of inflation, it will be far more difficult for monetary authorities to combat it if and when it rears its ugly head again. Since the advent of the global financial crisis in 2008, central bankers around the world have been insisting that the economic slump and deflation are far more dangerous than inflation. Their priority is to counteract the economic crisis and prevent deflation, even at the risk of unleashing inflation — because we know how to combat inflation. Such confidence may be dangerously misplaced.
Physicists have a very good principle. They observe natural phenomena and every now and again they stumble against something that is not adequately explained by the existing theory. They try to amend the theory in the hope that it could offer an explanation, but if those attempts fail, they junk the theory and go back to the drawing board.
Fortunately, some such attempts are being made in economics. A number of economists are working to develop new theories and new branches of economic science, such as behavioral economics. They are trying to build bridges to other social sciences, including psychology and anthropology, and to develop new mathematical models of economic behavior. Valuable insights have started to emerge, and new theories may be forthcoming. As Yale professor Robert Shiller told me a few years ago in an interview, these are early days as yet.

Only 'Wii' Can Save Grandma From Alzheimer's (Get It?)
Scared of getting Alzheimer's? Just guzzle some "relaxation drink," eat a "horseshoe sandwich," and wobble on the Wii. You'll forget all about it. It's time for your daily health watch, where we watch your health—dangerously!
- Alzheimer's: Is there anything we can do about it, or should we just let old people get old and get Alzheimer's and not sit around worrying about it all the time, cause hey, welcome to biology? That's a horrible thing to say. Scientists now tell us you can stave off Alzheimer's by doing crosswords, playing Connect 4, and playing on the Wii. If you haven't played the Wii with your grandma lately, you are a horrible person (according to science).
- "A sensible approach to diet and exercise." Yea you'd like that, wouldn't you? Drop and give me 50.
- All those "relaxation beverages" you hear so much about (just go with it)—what is the deal with them, really? Not alcohol, hahahahaha! Science joke. We're talking about those "herbal" drinks that "calm" and "relax" and "chill" you. Not opium, hahahaha! Chemistry joke. Well scientists say all these drinks do exist and they have all types of crazy ingredients, who knows, it's your funeral, buddy.
- Have you ever had a "horseshoe sandwich?" Well if you have you're probably not healthy because a horsehoe sandwich involves "stuffing the meat and fries into a tortilla, which stands in for the bread, and dunking the mass in a deep-fryer before ladling on the cheese sauce." And it has 2,700 calories so don't eat it, scientists say. Too late.

Aquatic Farming
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why is Alaska a good place to grow oysters?
Oysters can grow very well in cold water if there is abundant, high-quality plankton. Many estuaries in Alaska produce so much high-quality plankton during certain times of the year that Alaskan shellfish can match growth achieved by shellfish raised in warmer waters of the Pacific Northwest. Cold, clean water also reduces bacterial contamination, extending shelf life and assuring safety when eating cultured oysters, especially when eaten raw.
Why are Alaskan oysters so remarkable?
Pacific oysters, grown in warm waters, reach sexual maturation during their second summer of life, causing them to become soft and a milky color. These characteristics make the oysters unmarketable. In Alaska, because cold water retards maturation, high-quality oysters are available year round. Because they cannot reproduce, wild or naturally occurring, oysters are very uncommon in Alaska. All farmed Alaskan oysters are imported as spat (juvenile oysters) from Pacific Coast hatcheries.
How do you raise shellfish?
Generally, a shellfish farmer buys or collects juvenile shellfish, called "spat." He then puts them in special nets or lines (oysters and mussels) that are anchored in the ocean, or plants them on a beach (clams). The animals feed by filtering the abundant, high-quality plankton that naturally occur in the water. The farmer must keep the animals clean from algae and protect them from predators. He then harvests the animals when they grow to a marketable size.
How long does it take the shellfish to grow to market size?
- Oysters: 18-36 months
- Mussels: 18 months
What is a good farm site like?
A potential farm site should have good tidal flushing so that food (plankton) is readily carried to the site and waste is carried out to sea. The site must be protected from storms. The site must be reasonably close to the markets that will buy the shellfish. Staff should be able to live near the site.
Can I get rich from this?
The industry is fairly new to Alaska and start-up costs are high. So far, most farms are providing some income, but generally not enough to support a family. Some of the challenges in Alaska are that farms are usually in remote areas and have high transportation costs. Shellfish farming is also hard work; to be successful, farms should be operated on a daily basis and worked year round.
How long does the permitting process usually take?
You can apply for an Aquatic Farm Permit only during a 120-day opening established by the Department of Natural Resources. In the past this opening has occurred during January through April. The application is a consolidated packet combining all required state and federal permits. There is a $100 application fee. It normally takes 10 months to go through the regulatory process. Permit applications are obtained from either:

Phone: (907) 465-6150
Fax: (907) 465-4168
Are there any hatcheries or nurseries in Alaska?
Yes. Refer to operations details for more details. Hatcheries spawn adult organisms (broodstock) and produce microscopic spat or seed. Nurseries can then grow these spat to a large enough size for shellfish farmers to place in culture gear or plant on their farm sites.
What kind of shellfish/aquatic plants are being raised in Alaska?
The shellfish farming industry in Alaska mainly produces Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas), blue mussels (Mytilus edulis), and littleneck clams (Leukoma staminea). Farms in Alaska are also raising Pacific geoduck (Panopea generosa) and scallops.
Can I raise fish?
No. Alaska statute 16.40.210 prohibits finfish farming. However, Alaska does allow nonprofit ocean ranching. Finfish farming is defined as growing or cultivating finfish in captivity. Ocean ranching, on the other hand, involves releasing young fish into public waters and being available for harvest by fishermen upon their return to Alaskan waters as adults.
What about Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning?
Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) results from a specific type of plankton that filter feeders, like clams, oysters and mussels, sometimes ingest. This plankton can produce a toxin that is poisonous to humans. Each shellfish farm's product is closely monitored for PSP. All shellfish from a farm is lot tested using the Department of Environmental Conservation's Uniform Shellfish Sampling Plan for Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning. If PSP is found, the grower cannot ship/sell his product. There has never been a case of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning in Alaskan-farmed shellfish.
General information about paralytic shellfish poisoning can be obtained from:

Anchorage, AK 99501
Phone: (907) 269-7636
Fax: (907) 269-7510
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
What is required by the Department of Environmental Conservation?
A growing area classification must be completed before shellfish may be harvested for sale. This may start anytime after the permits/leases have been obtained from the Department of Fish and Game and Natural Resources. Classification is a two-part process, the water quality survey and shoreline survey. The water quality survey consists of the collection of water samples that are taken from designated stations. The number of water samples can vary from 15 to 30 depending on the area classification. Fifteen samples are required for a remote area with no human habitation, whereas 30 samples are required for an approved area where human habitation is present.
The shoreline sanitary survey is a physical onsite evaluation of all actual and potential sources of pollution that may affect the growing area. Water samples may be taken during the shoreline survey. Water samples can be taken by a trained individual or by ADEC personnel. ADEC personnel must perform all shoreline work. Both the water quality and shoreline survey results must be satisfactory in order for the area to be classified.

Cuff Bracelets | ANXIETY
Crystals were created as the earth formed and they have continued to metamorphose as the planet itself has changed. They are the earth's DNA, a chemical imprint for evolution. They are miniature storehouses containing the records of the development of the earth over millions of years, and bearing the indelible memory of the powerful forces that shaped it. Their crystalline structure can absorb, conserve, focus and emit energy, especially on the electromagnetic waveband.
Crystals make excellent jewelry for both men and women. Wearing gems used to be a royal or priestly prerogative. The high priest of Judaism wore a breastplate set with precious stones. It was much more than a badge of office; it conveyed power to the wearer. As far back as the Stone Age, men and women wore crystal jewelry and talismen. They had a protective as well as decorative function, guarding their wearer from harm.
Crystals have been used to heal and bring balance, working through resonance and vibration. Crystals are said to heal holistically - that is to say, they work on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels of being.
The gemstone property information here is to use as you see fit, but is not to take the place of professional medical care. Crystals, Gemstones and Talismen can negate, protect, encourage, strengthen, and balance and promote healing and positivity. Their effects can be extraordinary, but use in addition to medical advice, and not as a substitute for proper care.

I have an appointment tomorrow with my new physician and I'll be asking for a referral to a new therapist. I thought about calling our old therapist that did our individual and couples counseling, but I've basically coined him as another person seeing my husband as "golden child."
He's all YAY over my husband's "accomplishments" and ever since he shot me down when I told him that I felt like giving up (he basically told me I couldn't) - I just feel very unsupported by him.
I hope that this new doctor and therapist are able to help me get back to feeling like I'm ME again. For some reason though, I don't think that is ever going to happen.
One painful realization I have had since seeing my parents (I hadn't seen them since the D-Day took place) is that I truly don't think anyone besides my kids love me (and of course I am their mother so...).
What stinks the most is that I never did anything wrong to deserve it. I'm not saying I am perfect, but I never drank as a teen, never did drugs, didn't have sex, and went to college, graduated and even got my master's degree.
My parents always said I would never accomplished anything in life, called me a slut, thought I lied all the time...it was horrible.
So, then I get married. My husband is in the military, I move around with him, lose friends, be by myself while he is away on a boat. We have a baby, I take care of the baby completely, he goes off on a boat for three months at a time, and I take care of the baby. I get pregnant, I take care of our toddler pregnant for months while he is on the boat. I send care packages, several emails a day, etc. etc. I think you get it. Oh, I have to mention, he's a big kid and wants to buy toys all the time, but I don't nag or complain, he gets them then and now. I cleaned the house and cooked...etc. etc. So, I basically did all of the things a military wife should do.
What happens? He cheats on me. While he's having the affair, I was a horrible. You know that whole affair fog thing... Good thing I was used to hearing things about myself that weren't true.
So, now, here I sit... someone who has always tried to make people happy - still do - only to be treated badly. Trying to focus on myself and on what would make me happy - but what if what would make me happy would be for people to treat me the same way that I treat them?...

Getting a Referral Tomorrow for a Therapist
I have an appointment tomorrow with my new physician and I'll be asking for a referral to a new therapist. I thought about calling our old therapist that did our individual and couples counseling, but I've basically coined him as another person seeing my husband as "golden child."

I'm Alone in this Fight
You have to love how when you get cheated on, it's always easier for the cheater to get over it.
A couple of weeks ago, I went to visit my parents in Portugal with my cheater and kids. Why is that no one (including my parents) have never said two words to him about what he did to me and the kids.
You know, no one steps up the plate and says,
"How dare you cheat on my daughter. If you ever do that again, you won't only have to deal with her wrath, but also mine."
Wouldn't it be nice to know someone cares about you so much to defend you like that. I haven't had one person in my life do that for me.
Well, I lie. My best friend kind of said that, but not very convincing.
Who says that I don't need support behind me. Who says I don't need someone to come in front of me as a shield. Apparently, no one wants to feel the pain. But what about me? I am feeling the pain. I am the one who still has dreams about it.
The cheater? HA. He walks around like he's done something oh so wonderful in his life. He didn't choose to go off with his slut; instead, he stayed to own up to his "mistakes" and is doing what he should have been doing all along.
Why do I feel like this is some sort of sham? Why do I continue to feel as though I get the bum wrap out of this deal? Why am I still feeling as though he should have suffered more from this...?
If I had left him, I guess that would have made him suffer, but then I may have suffered more than I do now. So, why would I do that?
I'm still not quite at the acceptance that my whole view of marriage, love and everything else is out the window. While he thinks that our love is so strong, I think about how much love is big game that everyone pretends to play.
I guess it's just me though...no one really feels sorry for me...no one wants to protect me... and no one really cares about it anymore. That's sad, but it's the truth. I'm in this alone...and alone I continue to walk through it all.

Hotel Transylvania
Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's (Adam Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free to be the monsters they are without humans to bother them. On one special weekend, Dracula has invited some of the world's most famous monsters – Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more – to celebrate his daughter Mavis's 118th birthday. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem – but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.

I don't cover the Oscars like I used to. My coverage for the 81st Academy Awards was the best stuff this blog ever did. I still can't help, but get excited over this time of year. The Oscars are just something I will always enjoy. Part of the reason is that it celebrates movies (some years better than others). Another part is trying to figure out what is going to win. Picking the Oscars is right next to trying to fill out a March Madness bracket. There's some easy picks, some tossups, and of course a few upsets that came out of nowhere. All bets are off on Oscar night.
I didn't see as many movies as I wanted to this year, but I've been doing enough reading to finalize my picks. I wish I had more time, but the Oscars are tomorrow. So without further ado, here are my preliminary picks for the 85th Academy Awards.
Best Picture: Argo
I can't see this film losing at this point. What is going to beat it? Lincoln? Silver Linings Playbook? Those are the two options that make sense. I don't think either one has the support to do it. You never know when it comes to the Oscars. The Academy always has a few tricks up its sleeve. The thing about Argo is that it's about Hollywood. The Academy likes to pat themselves on the bat. It's a feel good story about a horrible time in American history. Hollywood plays a big part in the success of mission. It's about the creation of a fake movie and making the hostages fake film crew. Plus, it's a great film. I don't think it's a masterpiece, but I enjoyed it. I don't have a problem with it joining the fraternity of Best Picture winners. Let me put it this way, there's a lot worse films that have won the top prize. Lastly, George Clooney and Ben Affleck (and Grant Heslov) will accept the Oscar. That has ratings written all over it.
Best Director: Ang Lee, Life of Pi
Not nominating Ben Affleck makes the Academy look really dumb. I've been saying that for a while as Argo has dominated the award circuit. It's not the first time the Academy has made a dumb mistake, but it's most recent one shouldn't get a pass. Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done, so this category is a bit difficult to figure out with the deserving winner. Everyone just thinks Spielberg is going to win by default. Speaking of dumb, that's really dumb. He may win, but I don't think this is a given by any means. I could easily see David O. Russell win. I'm going with Ang Lee because this category looks like a trap to me. I haven't seen Life of Pi, but it's the trailer/promos are visually stunning, Lee is well respected by the Academy, and he had a challenge of adapting this book into a film. My understanding is that adapting this book was no easy task and one most filmmakers would fail if they attempted. Ang Lee has made some bad films, but he's also made some incredible ones. I'll just say Brokeback Mountain is one of the most important and best films of the last 20 years. Like I said, Spielberg could win this. Maybe, it's his time to win his 3rd Best Director Oscar. Instead, it's time for Lee to win his 2nd Best Director Oscar.
Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln
I love Daniel Day-Lewis. He's one of the greatest actors of not only his generation, but of all time. I truly believe that. He's going to win his 3rd Oscar. This is a lock. I don't think he's lost one award this season. It's very similar to his steamroll in 07/08 for There Will Be Blood. The most incredible part is that he has dominated award seasons by playing such diverse categories. Five years ago, he played a horrible and hateful man in Daniel Plainview. This year, he plays one of the most beloved Americans in history and one of the greatest Presidents in Abraham Lincoln. With all that said, I would have not voted for him this year. A lot of people are going to disagree, but I thought Joaquin Phoenix's performance in The Master was better. I realize that I sound like P.T. Anderson homer, but I haven't seen another performance like Phoenix's Freddie Quell this year. I have problems with The Master and I don't think it's one of Anderson's best films. I do think the acting is very good (only 3 nominations this year and all for acting). I think we may look back in five years and appreciate Phoenix's performance a lot more than we do today. I could be wrong, but I wanted to put that on the record.
Best Actress: Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook
I believe Jennifer Lawrence is going to hold off Emannuelle Riva. I don't deny that she has probably gained ground. Sometimes, these stories about actors or actresses gaining steam and pulling the upset come true. Other times, it's a false alarm. Some people are mentioning Marion Cotillard a few years back. I don't think that's a good comparison at all. I'm going to be shocked if this upset happens.
Best Supporting Actor: Robert De Niro, Silver Linings Playbook
Nominee Alan Arkin's character says, "Argo fuck yourself." I say, "Argo fuck this category." This is maybe the toughest of the night. At least it's the toughest of the major categories. There are three guys that could win. I'm going to start by writing that I don't want Waltz to win. I'm not the first person to say this, but his performance reminded me too much of his character in Inglorious Basterds (he won the Oscar for that role). I think he's a talented actor, but it's also too soon from his last win. I would have preferred Leo or even Samuel L. Jackson getting the nod over him. If you can't tell, I'm going to be mad if he wins. Tommy Lee Jones seems to be the safest pick of the bunch. I didn't like him that much in Lincoln. Maybe it was because he was sharing the screen with Daniel Day-Lewis, but he didn't jump out at me and make me say, "Wow." Plus, his grumpy face at the Globes is probably not going to help him. He strikes me as an angry old man. Then, I look to Robert De Niro. This reminds me a lot of Meryl Streep last year. He hasn't won an Oscar since his role in Raging Bull. It's a longer drought than Streep. Plus, the guy has been campaigning this season and I think it's going to pay off. He also has the Weinsteins. Yes, he hasn't won anything this season, but Alan Arkin didn't win anything before his Little Miss Sunshine win. I don't think it's an incredible role, but it's good enough to pull off the win.
Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway, Les Misérables
She's won everything like Day-Lewis. If Hathaway loses I would be shocked. In somewhat related news, it's a nice comeback story for a woman that co-hosted the Oscars a few years back and bombed with James Franco. This is just further proof that they are both talented (I'm still a big Franco fan). I think it's going to be a nice moment for her.
Best Original Screenplay: Django Unchained
I'm really torn on this category. It's one of the hardest to predict. Zero Dark Thirty won the WGA, but both Amour and Django were ineligible. My issue with Amour is that it's a foreign film and is the Academy going to vote for that. My issue with Django is that will the Academy embrace a script that uses the N-word over 100 times. This is an old voting body and I don't know if they are going to like that a lot. I could be wrong, but it's a tad excessive. Oddly enough, Taratino did lose to Boal in 2009 when Hurt Locker beat Inglorious Basterds. This could be revenge. For that reason, I'm going with him.
Best Adapted Screenplay: Argo
Like the Best Picture race, the biggest threats to Argo seem to be Lincoln or Silver Linings Playbook. This could be a good indicator for later in the evening. If Lincoln or Silver Linings win, then maybe it will be closer than thought in the Best Picture race.
Best Animated Feature: Wreck-It Ralph
It's either going to be this or Brave. I saw Wreck-It Ralph and I enjoyed it. I also didn't hear/read amazing things about Pixar's latest film, Brave. The problem is that Pixar has done very well here. Is it really going to be two years in a row with a non-Pixar film winning? I think so.
Best Cinematography: Life of Pi
Poor Roger Deakins is probably going to lose again. Him and Emmanuel Lubezki somehow don't have Oscars. It's a huge gaffe in my opinion. Shows you how much they know about cinematography. Life of Pi seems like it's going to take the Oscar win. This reminds me a lot of Hugo's win last year.
Best Costume Design: Anna Karenina
A lot of mediocre films have won this in the past. It usually goes to the period pieces with the flashiest costumes. Anna Karenina falls into that description, but Les Mis could steal it. I just don't want to start handing Les Mis too many Oscars because I don't think the Academy likes it that much.
Best Documentary - Feature: Searching for Sugar Man
I don't know very much about this film, but everyone is picking it. I know it's about Rodriguez, but that's about it. I'm just following the crowd. It seems to be the overwhelming favorite.
Best Documentary - Short Subject: Open Heart
Whatever I pick will probably be wrong. I hate this category more than any other. It's just tough to predict and I always get it wrong. This is another category where I'm following the popular choice.
Best Film Editing: Argo
Best Picture and Best Film Editing like to go together. The editing in this film is also really well done. How can you not love editing at the end of the film? The pacing is perfect and it's intense even though you know they are going to make it out alive. It's really well done.
Best Foreign Language Film: Amour
Amour is getting a lot of love from the Academy. Everyone says this is a lock. I just can't help, but remember Pan's Labyrinth in 2006. Received multiple nominations and lost this category to Lives of Others. I read Kon-Tiki has screened well to members (remember members must go to special screenings for this category) and it could upset. I just don't feel like it's a smart choice to get too crazy and pick it.
Best Makeup and Hairstyling: Les Misérables
Oscar voters love when the makeup and hairstyling makes actors look old or ugly. Look no further than Les Mis. I also feel like there's no love for The Hobbit or Hitchcock. I actually forgot both those films even came out last year and I find it hard to believe it could win this.
Best Original Score: Life of Pi
I'm not that familiar with this score as I've yet to see this film. Why am I picking it? Everyone else is and it seems like the smart choice. The other alternatives seem to be Lincoln (John Williams) or Skyfall (won the BAFTA).
Best Original Song: "Skyfall" from Skyfall
This is one of the safest categories of the night. Everyone loves Adele. A Bond theme has actually never won an Oscar somehow (Live and Let Die was screwed). This has to be the year. I would be shocked if it lost.
Best Production Design: Life of Pi
This category is tough. The Academy has really been favoring production design that is more CGI orientated. That heavily favors Life of Pi. Les Mis and Anna Karenina make strong cases. Actually, I was going with Les Mis, but decided to change it. I think Anna Karenina is out because there's no way that film is winning two Oscars. I find that hard to believe. I may regret changing from Les Mis, but look at the last three winners in this category (Hugo, Alice in Wonderland, and Avatar). Just seems like Life of Pi is the right choice.
Best Short - Animated: Paperman
This was shown before Wreck-It Ralph. It could be a Dreamworks sweep. This probably has a better shot at winning than Ralph as everyone seems to think this is the film to beat. I haven't seen it, but the black and white and blend of traditional/computer animation makes it sound very appealing.
Best Short - Live Action: Curfew
I don't even like to comment on these short categories. It's not that I don't care about them. I'm sure they are great and the Academy has done a better job at making them accessible even to members who aren't in the Academy. Still, I haven't seen any of them, so really have nothing to add. This is another follow the leader type of pick. I will say this that for the Oscars that is not a bad strategy to have. I think it's important to take a couple gambles where you see fit, but playing it safe will make your night better. It has won me a number of Oscar contests through the years.
Best Sound Editing: Skyfall
I very well could be wrong with this pick. This is one of my risky picks of the year. Skyfall has nominations, so it's not disliked by the Academy. Plus, it follows in the mold of previous winners like Bourne, Dark Knight, and Inception. The alternative could be either Zero Dark Thirty or Life of Pi. The Hurt Locker won this a few years back, but the difference was that it also won Best Picture. Life of Pi could be Bond's strongest competition. Both Skyfall and Pi won the sound editor guild awards. I just have a hunch that Skyfall is going to win.
Best Sound Mixing: Les Misérables
Musicals or movies with a lot of singing do really well in this category. Chicago, Ray, and Dreamgirls have won here recently and are in a similar mold to Les Mis. Considering the singing was done live makes it even more impressive. If the Academy goes crazy for Argo like it did for Slumdog Millionaire a few years back, then maybe it could win here. That's doubtful.
Best Visual Effects: Life of Pi
The film is beautiful and everyone is raving about the visual effects. Seems like a safe choice and is probably one of the easiest picks of the night.
There you have it, my final predictions for the 85th Academy Awards. I'll try to post some reaction to the results and thoughts on the show a week after the Oscars. I'm probably going to have to re-watch the show as I'm having my annual Oscar party. It's the fourth year in a row I've done it and I don't really get to enjoy the show very much.
I hope it's a good show. Seth McFarlene is an interesting choice for host, so I'm curious to see how that will pan out. For his sake, I hope he does well. No one wants to bomb as Oscar host.

Iran deal's built-in deadline drama
Supporters of a tougher line against Iran were disappointed in the nuclear deal President Barack Obama agreed to with Tehran Saturday — but the pact did deliver an item long on their wish list: a deadline.
For several years, Israeli officials and American advocates for Israel have publicly expressed urgency regarding the Iranian nuclear threat, warning that key milestones in Tehran's nuclear program were approaching. U.S. officials often responded — at least in public — with vaguer or longer timetables that always seemed to push the prospect of a military strike against Iran just over the political horizon.
Story Continued Below
Now, however, Obama has signed on to an interim deal with Iran that contains an explicit expiration date six months in the future. If no permanent deal is reached by then, the White House will come under increasing pressure to act militarily — or acquiesce to an Israeli strike.
( WATCH: Obama remarks on Iran nuclear deal)
Indeed, the pressure for the United States to respond at the end of the six-month window will not wait until that deadline arrives. Even before the ink on the deal was dry, lawmakers began urging new legislation that would slap Tehran with stricter sanctions next May if there is no deal to permanently end the alleged Iranian nuclear weapons program.
"I think you will see the Congress impose additional sanctions that won't take place for six months with some conditions," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on CNN as news of the interim deal was breaking. "If Iran meets certain conditions, they will never go into effect at all. But you will see the Congress have new sanctions that will be delayed for six months…we will define what success will look like before the sanctions can be waived in the future."
"I will continue working with my colleagues to craft bipartisan legislation that will impose tough new economic sanctions if Iran undermines this interim accord or if the dismantlement of Iran's nuclear infrastructure is not underway by the end of this six-month period," said Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.).
Among Democrats, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland also endorsed that approach Sunday.
( Also on POLITICO: Kerry on Iran: 'It's not based on trust')
While U.S. lawmakers are talking openly about tougher, automatically-imposed sanctions if no permanent deal is reached in six months, others are clear that the military option will be more clearly teed up at that point.
"The United States must emphasize that the initial agreement is valid for six months only, and the process will not continue indefinitely…The United States must reiterate and lend credibility to the statement that 'all options are on the table,'" former Israeli Air Force commander Gen. Amos Yadlin wrote in Israel Resource Review as the talks headed toward a deal. "Israel and the United States would do well to come to some agreement on Plan B."
Arguments the White House put forward in recent days in favor of the interim deal could also bolster the notion that military action is necessary as the six-month deadline approaches. Having painted war as the only or most likely alternative to a verifiable agreement reached through diplomacy, the Obama administration could find itself pulled in that direction if no deal is imminent.
( Also on POLITICO: Iran deal could change the strategic calculus)
In Obama's remarks Saturday night hailing the interim deal, he made no direct mention of military options when the six-month deal runs out, even though he has spoken explicitly about that possibility before. What he did say about potential post-deadline action in his late night remarks also set a subtly different standard than Israeli officials have in their rhetoric.
"If Iran does not fully meet its commitments during this six-month phase, we will turn off the [sanctions] relief and ratchet up the pressure," the president said.
Iran could, however, fulfill the explicit terms of the interim deal, but insist on its right to enrich uranium and its right to maintain equipment like centrifuges which give it the capacity to make a nuclear weapon within months. Israeli officials have made clear they regard that state of affairs as unwelcome in the short-term — and intolerable beyond that.
Of course, inaction also has its own kind of momentum. And many who are hawkish towards the Iranian regime and its nuclear program fear that the six-month reprieve regarding new sanctions, as well as the implicit lifting of the threat of military action, will morph into a permanent status quo.
Some of the administration's early comments on the deal could fuel those concerns. During a conference call with reporters late Saturday, a senior administration official mentioned at least three times that there is a possibility the interim deal could be extended if the world powers who hammered out the deal and Iran endorse such an extension.
"This first step agreement is not a permanent state. This has a six month expiration date on it unless we get comprehensive resolution or unless there is a mutually agreed upon decision to continue the negotiation with this first step in place beyond that timeline," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
