The dogs and I returned to our favorite park this weekend. To say they were excited is an understatement.
They ran through the stream.
Luka chased Sadie up the hill.
Sadie chased Luka down the hill.
Then they circled around and Luka chased Sadie down the hill.
They ran through the woods.
Sadie explored the woods.
Luka found a tennis ball in the stream.
Something in a tree caught their attention.
Sadie kept an eye on me (I was dawdling behind).
Luka kept an eye on me, too.
There was an amazing sunset here the other night. This was the view from my front door (picture is straight out of the camera…no editing or color tweaking).

Let me make a confession; some of my columns make me cringe with embarrassment.
No one is perfect, least of all me. Mistakes mortify me but more often my poorly conveyed thoughts. A literary demon pops up chiding me �You could have said that better.�
Thank the Lord, salvation is at hand, a child shall lead you.
In the aftermath of the election, a distraught teenager learned the hard way about missteps in the public domain. Her emigrating to Australia tweet because they have a Christian man as president went viral. No Virginia, Australia has a Prime Minister who is an atheist woman, STEE-RIKE THREE. Responses included comments outlining other aspects of Australian life, one erroneously citing gun ownership bans Down Under. While strict gun regulations exist in Australia, hunters and sportsmen can own weapons.
Since we are going international, Australia made changes to their pension system in order to serve retirees more efficiently. I do not pretend to be an expert on Australia�s Superannuation Guarantee program. With the magic of the Internet, someone can explain it better.
During the �90s, Australia looked at demographics and realized the need to improve retiree pensions. In addition to a means-tested pension system, the Aussies began a mandatory program, where employers contribute (currently 9 percent) to investment funds. The compulsory "Superannuation Guarantee� is augmented with private savings and non-superannuation programs to provide a third leg for retirees.
While individually owned, stringent guidelines restrict participants� access to Superannuation funds prior to retirement. Conversely, Americans have relatively easy access to retirement funds. Human nature and temptation being what they are, no one should be surprised to learn 50 percent of employees cash in 401(k) plans when switching careers. Outside dire circumstances, withdrawals before retirement should be verboten, a thought echoed in John Bogle�s �A Clash of Cultures.�
My good friend and Marine aviator Rick Ferri proposed a mandatory system modeled along the lines of the Thrift Savings Program (TSP) available for federal civilian employees and the military.
Our current hodgepodge of IRAs, 401(k), 403(b), et al, allows financial croupiers to rake profits from participants. Recently I found a 403(b) participant at Northwest Florida State College paid over 3 percent annually on their deferrals. The Class C shares used had an annual expense ratio over 2 percent and the advisor tacked on an additional 1 percent.
Here are a couple of takeaways: Don�t pay an advisor 1 percent to �manage� your 401(k) plan unless you enjoy giving your money away. 401(k) plans and the like have extremely high fees; adding another one is foolish. Unless you are taking withdrawals, the TSP is the best retirement vehicle bar none. Run like a scalded dog if any advisor recommends rolling your TSP into an IRA.
In addition to good wines, Australians appear to put more emphasis on financial literacy programs than we do. A sobering Securities and Exchange Commission report found Americans lack understanding of rudimentary financial concepts like interest rates, mortgages, risk and inflation. More advanced ideas like portfolio diversification or differences between stock and bonds flummox investors. The lack of basic fiscal knowledge inhibits your ability to retire comfortably.

TONY ROSSI, Plff. in Err., v. COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA.
35 S.Ct. 677
59 L.Ed. 1201
TONY ROSSI, Plff. in Err.,
No. 193.
Argued March 11, 1915.
Decided June 1, 1915.
Mr. H. C. McClintock for plaintiff in error.
Messrs. Thomas W. Dickey and Clyde V. Ailey for defendant in error.
[Argument of Counsel from page 63 intentionally omitted]
Mr. Justice Pitney delivered the opinion of the court:
Plaintiff in error was convicted in the court of quarter sessions of Lawrence county, in the state of Pennsylvania, of the crime of selling intoxicating liquors in that county without a license, contrary to § 15 of an act of May 13, 1887 (P. L. p. 113), which declares: 'Any person who shall hereafter be convicted of selling or offering for sale any vinous, spirituous, malt or brewed liquors, or any admixture thereof, without a license, shall be sentenced,' etc. The superior court affirmed the conviction (53 Pa. Super. Ct. 210), the supreme court of the state refused an appeal, and this writ of error was allowed.
The facts are these: Plaintiff in error is a liquor dealer having his place of business in the county of Mahoning, in the state of Ohio, which immediately adjoins Lawrence county, Pennsylvania. He had no license to sell in Lawrence county, nor any place of business there, but went into that county and there took an order for liquor, with the understanding that the liquor should be thereafter delivered from his stock in Ohio to the residence of the purchaser in Pennsylvania. He returned to Ohio, there loaded the goods upon his own wagon, and either by himself or his employee drove across the state line and delivered the liquor to the residents of the purchaser, pursuant to the contract. Thus the sale was negotiated in Pennsylvania, but contemplated and required for its fulfilment a transaction in interstate commerce, which afterwards took place, with resulting delivery in Pennsylvania.
The charge, as will be observed, was selling, not offering for sale. And it is admitted that by the Pennsylvania decisions the act of taking orders for future delivery is not punishable under the statute cited, or any other, and that it is not the making of an executory contract, but the executed sale, that is punishable. Com. v. Smith, 16 Pa. Co. Ct. 644, 646, 647; Star Brewing Co.'s License, 43 Pa. Super. Ct. 577, 580; Com. v. Guinzburg, 46 Pa. Super. Ct. 488, 497; and see Garbracht v. Com. 96 Pa. 449, 453. And so, in the present case, the superior court (53 Pa. Super. Ct. 220) recognized that it was not the making of the executory contract, but the execution of it, that involved a violation of the law of the state.
The Federal question presented is whether, under the act of Congress approved August 8, 1890, chap. 728 (26 Stat. at L. 313, Comp. Stat. 1913, § 8738), known as the Wilson act, the state of Pennsylvania may punish plaintiff in error for delivering in that state liquors transported in interstate commerce, under the circumstances stated. The case arose before the passage of the act of March 1, 1913, chap. 90 (37 Stat. at L. 699, Comp. Stat. 1913, § 8739), known as the Webb-Kenyon act, and the effect of this legislation is therefore not now involved.
As has been recently pointed out in Kirmeyer v. Kansas, 236 U. S. 568, 572, 59 L. ed.——, 35 Sup. Ct. Rep. 419, the transportation of intoxicating liquor, as of other merchandise, from state to state, is interstate commerce, and state legislation which penalizes it or directly interferes with it, otherwise than as permitted by an act of Congress, is in conflict with the commerce clause of the Federal Constitution; and while Congress, in the Wilson act, declared in substance that liquors transported into any state, or remaining therein for use, consumption, etc., shall, upon arrival in such state, be subject to the operation and effect of its laws enacted in the exercise of the police power, to the same extent and in the same manner as though the liquors had been produced in such state, and shall not be exempt therefrom by reason of being introduced in original packages, this does not subject liquors transported in interstate commerce to state regulation until after their arrival at destination and delivery to consignee or purchaser. Leisy v. Hardin, 135 U. S. 100, 110, 34 L. ed. 128, 132, 3 Inters. Com. Rep. 36, 10 Sup. Ct. Rep. 681; Rhodes v. Lowa, 170 U. S. 412, 423, 42 L. ed. 1088, 1095, 18 Sup. Ct. Rep. 664; American Exp. Co. v. Iowa, 196 U. S. 133, 142, 143, 49 L. ed. 417, 421, 422, 25 Sup. Ct. Rep. 182; Louisville & N. R. Co. v. F. W. Cook Brewing Co. 223 U. S. 70, 82, 56 L. ed. 355, 358, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 189.
The Pennsylvania superior court deemed that the present case was controlled by Delamater v. South Dakota, 205 U. S. 93, 51 L. ed. 724, 27 Sup. Ct. Rep. 447, 10 Ann. Cas. 733, where a statute imposing an annual license charge upon the business of selling or offering for sale intoxicating liquors within the state by traveling salesmen soliciting orders was held to be enforceable in view of the Wilson act, even as applied to the business of soliciting, within the borders of the state, proposals for the purchase of liquors, which were to be consummated by the delivery within the state of liquors to be brought from without. That case, however, has no present pertinency, since the prohibition of the Pennsylvania statute is not addressed to the business of soliciting contracts for the purchase of liquor, but to the sale of the liquor itself; and by the terms of the Wilson son act, as previously construed, the control of this subject by the several states is postponed until after the delivery of the liquor within the state.
Judgment reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.

FAQ for CDO and Net4j
- 1 General
- 3 Net4j
How can I enable tracing?
If running as Eclipse launch config it's easy: just turn on tracing on the tracing page of the launch config (plus all net4j and cdo plugins in the list).
If running standalone:
OMPlatform.INSTANCE.addLogHandler(PrintLogHandler.CONSOLE); OMPlatform.INSTANCE.addTraceHandler(PrintTraceHandler.CONSOLE); OMPlatform.INSTANCE.setDebugging(true);
Why does CDO complain that my objects can't be cast to InternalCDOObject?
Looks as if you are not generating your model for CDO. Have you already read Preparing EMF Models for CDO?
How can I modify the behaviour of generated getters and setters?
If you want to modify the behaviour of generated getters and setters (or have already done so in existing models) you might want to try dynamic feature delegation (introduced in EMF 2.5). With this pattern, the reflective methods like eGet still call your generated method like getX() and then that calls the dymamic reflective method like eDynamicGet. It effectively produces the same behavior as "Refective" delegating but does so by delegating through your generated accessors allowing you to specialize those as you could when you used "None"...
What's the best way to convert an XMIResource to a CDOResource?
You just need to copy/move the root objects over to the CDOResource. There's a good example in ImportResourceAction.doRun():
@Override protected void doRun() throws Exception { CDOTransaction transaction = getTransaction(); // Source ResourceSet ResourceSet sourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl(); Map<String, Object> map = sourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap(); map.put("*", new XMIResourceFactoryImpl()); sourceSet.setPackageRegistry(transaction.getSession().getPackageRegistry()); // Source Resource Resource source = sourceSet.getResource(sourceURI, true); List<EObject> sourceContents = new ArrayList<EObject>(source.getContents()); // Target Resource Resource target = transaction.createResource(targetPath); EList<EObject> targetContents = target.getContents(); // Move contents over for (EObject root : sourceContents) { targetContents.add(root); } }
How can I react to remote changes to my objects?
CDO 2.0 has several mechansims to catch up with remote changes. They differ in the amount of change information being delivered and thus in the burden put on the network:
- CDOSessionInvalidationEvent is the oldest and simplest form. The event is emitted to registered IListeners of a CDOSession *if* PassiveUpdate is enabled for the session. See CDOSessionInvalidationEvent.java
- CDOInvalidationNotification is a *custom* EMF notification that is emitted to adapters of the EObjects in a CDOView *if* InvalidationNotification is enabled for the view. Since the notifications are constructed out of the information in a CDOSessionInvalidationEvent (i.e. CDOIDs) they don't carry detailed change deltas. All the Notification methods related to change deltas throw UOEs. See CDOInvalidationNotification.java
- CDOChangeSubscriptionPolicy a is the newest form (only in 2.0) and the one that delivers the most detailed information about the actual change. The change information is delivered to object adapters. To compensate the bandwidth burden of the change info per object you must exactly specify for which objects it is provides. With one of the shipped policies or an own one you can do this per view. See CDOChangeSubscriptionPolicy.java

In the past two years, I have been contacted by two dozen companies, from start-ups to established manufacturers, who have technology products that promise to help club members with programming, motivation and tracking. These range from products that will automate, prescribe and record workouts to those that will provide an entertainment system and even allow users to customize their workouts. As the cost of technology declines, technology players are getting better at understanding you and your members.
The concern about technology has been how fitness professionals will view these products. In many cases, technology manufacturers have misjudged or assumed what personal trainers, dieticians and group exercise instructors want. In other cases, fitness professionals have strongly resisted embracing technology. Often, they don't understand the value proposition to them or their clients. Sometimes, the product or service does not fit into an already established programming model that they use. Many of the technology and software solutions are not easy to use or customizable for the trainer. In addition, fitness professionals are not comfortable recommending or selling service outside the scope of their practice. And at other times, the exercise protocols and philosophies are contrary to those of the fitness professional, who sees technology and software products competing for his/her services.
This last point comes up most often and shouldn't come as a surprise. Many of the early software and technology models sold to health clubs touted themselves as replacing or being a different, less costly service than using the services of a personal trainer. This first wave of products — and the way they were introduced — left a bad taste in the mouths of many fitness professionals. Quite simply, technology providers didn't take the time to understand the world and needs of the fitness professional in the club.
This was a fatal flaw. Fitness professionals have deep and trusted relationships with their members and clients. They are viewed as credible and are considered the gatekeepers of information for members.
Over the years, trainers, in particular, have been approached by hundreds of vendors to sell everything from nutritional supplements to skin care products. The rationale of these vendors has always been faulty. "This is a way to add commissions and revenue to you as a trainer," they'd say. Translation: work less, make more money. However, a true fitness professional is committed to their profession and the well-being of their clients. For better or worse, they see the relationship ultimately being between themselves and the client. And for the record, so does the client.
Therefore, anyone selling technology products into a club must do several things to penetrate the club market. First, they must get input on the product and customer interface from trainers working in the field. They also must ensure the product is customizable by the fitness professional and client. They must train trainers on how to use the product, how to introduce it to their clients and how the product can be valuable to clients. Trainers must be able to reach a live person in the product's customer service department to help solve issues. Any software or technology product should be packaged as a total solution — not an "add on" sale. Every club employee should understand the value to the member.
Club members are embracing technology in every part of their lives. With the right product and support from your staff, they will do the same on the club floor, too.

Slash Jams 'Rise Today' With Alter Bridge in Sydney, Australia
Alter Bridge fans down under were treated to a bonus when Slash jumped onstage to help Myles Kennedy — who is the vocalist on Slash's upcoming solo disc — and friends fire through 'Rise Today.'
Alter Bridge have spent most of the last six months on hiatus while it's members have been working on other projects. Guitarist Mark Tremonti has been finishing his upcoming solo album 'All I Was' while simultaneously working on the next Creed record with bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips. Meanwhile AB vocalist Myles Kennedy has been working with Slash on his second solo album titled 'Apocalyptic Love.'
Alter Bridge has gone back on active duty for a handful of shows in Australia, and fans at the Soundwave Festival in Sydney last night (Feb. 26) got to see musical worlds collide as Slash joined the band onstage. The quintet brought a three-guitar attack on the Alter Bridge song 'Rise Today,' which featured a scorching outro solo from Slash.
Slash with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators are set to release 'Apocalyptic Love' on May 22 and have just released the first single 'You're a Lie' — hear the song and check out our review here.

Father: Body of Palestinian teen to be returned Friday
Willie Grace | 7/3/2014, 7:19 p.m. | Updated on 7/3/2014, 7:19 p.m.
The body of a Palestinian teen slain in Jerusalem will be turned over to his family on Friday, the boy's father said.
Hussain Abu Khedair said Thursday the family expects to be given the body of his son Mohammad after Friday prayers. The father said his 17-year-old son likely will be buried later that day.
"We will not bury my son at night," he said earlier on Palestinian television. "We will do it during the day."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged Thursday to find the perpetrators responsible for the boy's killing, an act Netanyahu described as "a despicable crime."
Netanyahu made the comment during a speech at the American Embassy in Tel Aviv where he and Israeli President Shimon Peres attended the annual July 4 Independence Day party.
Israeli authorities are still trying to determine who killed Mohammad Abu Khedair and why, the Prime Minister said.
Mohammad Abu Khedair was heading from his home to a mosque in the middle-class neighborhood of Shuafat for prayers around 4 a.m. when three men forced him into a car and drove off, his father said Wednesday. The boy's body was found about an hour later at a forest in Jerusalem.
The killing further inflamed tensions in a region already unsettled over the killings of three Israeli teens, not to mention decades of entrenched enmity between all sides.
There are concerns that the Palestinian teenager's funeral could spark further unrest, and demonstrators and Israeli officers clashed again Thursday in the East Jerusalem area of Shuafat.
At least 10 Palestinian protesters were injured, according to a CNN team there. Dozens of Palestinians threw stones at Israeli forces who fired rubber bullets and stun grenades.
The unrest came as Israelis and Palestinians continue to trade blows over longstanding issues unrelated to Abu Khedair's death. There have been rocket attacks and airstrikes.
The Israeli Defense Forces said 40 rockets were launched toward Israel from Gaza on Thursday. One soldier had minor wounds and some homes were damaged, the IDF said.
Israel conducted at least eight airstrikes early Thursday.
Three hit a Hamas intelligence building in Gaza city, while at least one struck the Qassam training camp in Beit Hanoun.
Palestinian medical sources reported at least 10 people injured, one of them seriously.
Israel Defense Forces said the airstrikes, going after 15 Hamas targets, were in response to the firing of more than 20 rockets into Israel since Wednesday.
This is in addition to other actions -- including the arrests of hundreds of Hamas activists, the demolition of homes and the closure of dozens of institutions in Gaza, according to Netanyahu -- targeting Hamas and focused in Gaza. This action follows the abduction of Israeli teens Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar and Naftali Frankel as they were on their way home from school June 13; the three were found dead on Monday in a West Bank field.
Hamas praised the kidnappings but denied that it was responsible for what happened. It warned that if Netanyahu "brings a war on Gaza, the gates of hell will open to him."
At the teens' funerals Wednesday, Netanyahu said the country would avenge their deaths at "the hands of evil men."

Ian McKellen as Gandalf the WhiteIan McKellen has told the Reuters news service that he would be happy to reprise his role as Gandalf, should The Hobbit be filmed.

McKellen was hoping Jackson would direct The Hobbit, but said he had the director's blessing to play Gandalf whichever director is involved.
"When Peter announced he had withdrawn from The Hobbit, he sent me an e-mail saying 'Because I am not going to do it, it doesn't mean you have to do the same,'" McKellen said. "'Of course, you must play Gandalf whether I direct or not.'"
McKellen continued: "I am glad to read that it is looking more and more likely. ... I would be disappointed if they didn't want to have the original Gandalf. I suppose if I am still functioning and working well, it is very likely I would be asked to do it, and if I were, I would be very pleased to do it."

In addition, our advertisers will receive a credit for any clicks they may have been received from that source.
All websites are subject to approval. Pay-Per-Text™ advertising must be approved by 7Search.com to ensure it does not encourage multiple clicks.
7Search employs traffic and condition counters and ratios to compare the number of click-throughs received to other sites. Advertiser accounts are only deducted once if the same surfer clicks and visits the website more than once. If more than five visits by a visitor are generated to the same site, we will completely credit the account and debit the affiliate account.
All Affiliates are warned that mechanically-generated traffic or traffic generated purposely with the intent to gain additional exposure are grounds for forfeiture of any amount due to them and their accounts' cancellation.

Although she's best-known as the pretty, perky teenager who won the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest with her hit "Poupee de Cire, Poupee de Son," French pop singer France Gall has had a much longer and more varied career than that, having released solid records almost non-stop since the early '60s. Although only a cult figure in most of the rest of the world, Gall is a major star and beloved figure in her native country.
Born Isabelle Gall in Paris on October 9, 1947, Gall was the daughter of French performer and producer, Roger Gall, who had written songs for Edith Piaf and Charles Aznavour. In 1962, at the age of 15, Gall was ushered into the studio by her father to record her debut EP, Ne Sois pas Si Bete. The four-track EP (the standard in French pop music at the time, and the format of most of her releases for the rest of the decade) was an enormous hit, selling 200,000 copies in France thanks both to the irresistible title-track and the absolutely stunning cover photo. Gall released a series of similarly successful pop hits for the next several years, peaking with winning the aforementioned Eurovision Song Contest in 1965. But although many dismissed Gall as a Francophone Lesley Gore, making fluffy and ultra-commercial pop hits with little substance, Gall's hits from this era stand up far better than most. Only Francoise Hardy was consistently making records up to these standards during this era. Though Gall's high, breathy voice was admittedly somewhat limited, she made the most of it. Even dopey hits like "Sacre Charlemagne," a duet with a pair of puppets who were the stars of a children's show on French TV, have an infectious, zesty charm; meatier tunes, like the sultry jazz-tinged ballad "Pense a Moi" and the brilliant rocker "Laisse Tomber les Filles," were as good as any single produced in the U.S. or Great Britain at the time.
In 1966, Gall's public persona shifted into a more mature phase, both musically and personally. The change came with that year's controversial hit "Les Sucettes." Though on the surface the Gainsbourg-penned tune was a pretty little song about a young girl and her lollipop, the unmistakable subtext of the sly lyrics meant that the not-yet-18-year-old Gall was singing approvingly (and, she later claimed, completely unknowingly) about oral sex. Les Sucettes and its follow-up, Baby Pop, are among Gall's finest, musically richer and more varied than her early hits, but every bit as catchy. (During this period of her career, Gall was signed not only to the French division of Philips, but to the German branch of the company, and also released several German-language EPs and albums, mixing translations of her Francophone hits and all-new material.) The psychedelic era found Gall, under Gainsbourg's guidance, singing increasingly strange songs, like "Teenie Weenie Boppie" (a bizarre tune about a deadly LSD trip that somehow involves Mick Jagger) set to some of Gainsbourg's most out-there arrangements. The excellent 1968 is Gall's best album from this period, with "Teenie Weenie Boppie," the trippy "Nefertiti," and the slinky, jazzy "Bebe Requin," perhaps Gall's sexiest single ever.
Like all of the stars of the '60s ye-ye scene, Gall's career took a downturn in the early '70s. No longer a teenager, but without a new persona to redefine herself with, (and without the help of Gainsbourg, whose time was taken by his own albums and those of his wife Jane Birkin), Gall floundered both commercially and artistically. A label change from Philips to BASF in 1972 didn't help matters, but in 1974, Gall met and married songwriter/producer Michel Berger. Berger took over his wife's career starting with 1975's France Gall and re-established her popularity throughout Europe. Berger's middle of the road soft rock style (think late-era Elton John, with whom Gall recorded a duet, "Les Aveux," in 1980) is slickly commercial and for the most part, less-inspired than Gall's '60s work, but although her material was by and large weaker, Gall became a much stronger and more technically adept singer during this era. Albums like 1987's Babacar, 1984's Debranche, and 1988's live Tour de France cannot be recommended to those completely averse to mellow "lite" rock, but they have their charms.
Gall's life took a tragic turn in the '90s; Berger died of a heart attack at the age of 46 in 1992, and their daughter Pauline died of cystic fibrosis at the age of 19 in 1997. Gall announced her retirement after Berger's death, but after reconsidering, she restarted her career with 1996's France, a tender tribute to her partner and mentor. That same year, a new generation of listeners began discovering her work when Heavenly covered her Serge Gainsbourg-penned hit "Nous ne Sommes pas des Anges" on Operation: Heavenly.

It Turns Out You Can Indeed Criticize the Government
As I wrote almost exactly a year ago, my friend Mark Sigmon filed a case on behalf of the ACLU seeking to prohibit a town in North Carolina from enforcing its sign ordinance against a man who painted "Screwed by the Town of Cary" on the side of his house. Well, yesterday, the federal district court granted the plaintiff David Bowden summary judgment and entered a permanent injunction against the town.
The court concluded that the sign ordinance was content‐based under the First Amendment because it required more than a perfunctory inquiry into the content of signs in order to determine whether the ordinance would apply. For example, the ordinance required the town to determine whether something was a "work of art," a "holiday message," etc. The court then concluded that the town's asserted interests in aesthetics and traffic safety were not compelling, and that even if they were, the ordinance was not narrowly tailored because it would allow, for example, a huge flashing holiday sign.
The opinion in the case makes clear that governments should not be in the business of looking at the substance of speech, except in the most superficial manner — for example, to determine if something is commercial speech or not. Because the law is not entirely clear in this area, if the Town of Cary appeals, the resulting opinion should be instructive. Hopefully the Fourth Circuit would affirm the district court and take another step to ensure that core speech is relatively unmolested. Especially political speech that you write on your own house.
Kudos to Mark and to the First Amendment.

"Orderly liquidation." The words appear prominently in financial reform bills to overhaul the way the US government will regulate America's financial system in the aftermath of a near-meltdown in late 2008.
The idea is that if a large firm gets into trouble in the future, it can't expect any generous taxpayer bailouts, as happened at American International Group (AIG) and other firms. Rather, if a large bank takes big risks that go awry, regulators will preside over its dismemberment with steely resolve.
That, at least, is the simple message lawmakers say they want to send with legislation that's moving into its second week of Senate floor debate.
President Obama, too, has been pledging an end to bailouts. "That's what this reform does," he said recently of the Senate bill.
But regulating the vast financial system is anything but simple, and many experts say bank bailouts can and will occur again, even if Mr. Obama ends up signing a reform bill by midyear.
A basic problem lies in that phrase, "orderly liquidation." In the heat of a financial crisis, that's something very hard to do with a large and interconnected financial firm on the brink of failure.
Orderly liquidation is exactly what did not occur in 2008. During the crisis, most tottering firms – from sprawling Citigroup to insurance giant AIG – received some form of government backing. Then, when Lehman Brothers didn't get a government bailout, credit markets quickly spiraled down toward what could have become a broad and catastrophic collapse. To restore stability, Congress held its nose and created a $700 billion rescue fund.
For regulators and Congress, propping up the economy trumped a distaste for bailouts.
"In a crisis, they'll do the same thing again," predicts Peter Nigro, a finance expert at Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I.
No outright ban on bailouts
The bills in the House (already passed) and Senate (in progress) include tough language designed to make bailouts both less common and less generous in the future.
But some critics of the legislation say it will fail to end bailouts, and that this is a bad thing. The real problem during 2008, they say, was not that Lehman wasn't rescued but that investors had come to expect government aid rather than insisting upon caution and discipline in financial activities. The proposed bills will perpetuate this problem, these critics warn.
At the other end of the spectrum, some economists say the opposite: The law may succeed at preventing bailouts – and that this is a bad thing. You don't want to tie regulators' hands in a crisis or possibly make a crisis worse by moving to dismantle large firms.
A middle view is that the legislation strikes a reasonable balance. These financial experts say the bill puts investors in failing firms on notice that they will bear losses when a firm gets in trouble, while also giving regulators the flexibility to contain any economic ripple effects from a firm's failure.
"A lot of the discussion has been overly simplistic," says Dean Baker of the liberal Center for Economic Policy and Research in Washington. For all the talk about the need to end bailouts, he says, the bills still give "relatively open-ended authority" to government officials in a crisis. "I'm not upset that they have that option," he says.
In the 2008 crisis, the recession might have become much worse without the safety net provided by that $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program and extraordinary Federal Reserve lending activities, for example.
In this light, the question of "bailouts" versus "liquidation" is not just one of fairness to taxpayers. The larger question – the issue that's fueling the drive for financial reform – is how to protect the economy from financial crises. The economy needs a healthy financial industry, not one that's prone to booms and busts.
Most of the financial reform package in Congress consists of provisions intended to prevent another financial crisis, such as tighter oversight of banks. But the second level of reform – focused on how to deal with large failing firms – ties back to the first issue of crisis prevention.
Bailouts create what's called "moral hazard," because government aid saves risk-takers from the consequences of their risky behavior. That can encourage future bad behavior, setting the stage for another crisis.
How tough is too tough?
The debate on the Senate floor is not all about election-year political posturing and the influence of bank-lobby dollars – though there's plenty of that. It's also that these are tough regulatory challenges to resolve.
"There are elements of flexibility [in the bill], but there is a clear effort to force these firms toward liquidation," worries Douglas Elliott, a Brookings Institution expert who has worked on Wall Street.
The Senate bill makes the task sound deceptively easy: A large firm should be liquidated, it says, "in a manner that mitigates such risk [to the economy] and minimizes moral hazard." But to achieve those twin goals may require both new tools and new fortitude from regulators.
In Mr. Elliott's view, the Senate bill would limit regulators' options more than does the House bill approved in December.
Both bills use the "orderly liquidation" phrase. Both seek to make a bank's managers and creditors face consequences if the firm fails. The Senate bill, for example, says "management responsible for the condition of the financial company will not be retained."
The House bill calls for firms to draw up so-called funeral plans in case of failure, but it also includes language that enables the government to make loans to a failing firm, buy assets from the firm, or guarantee its debts. Senate Republicans complained in a recent report that the Dodd bill also goes easy on failing firms.
"As the receiver, the FDIC [Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.], with the consent of the Secretary of the Treasury, is explicitly authorized to pay creditors and shareholders of the company more than they would be entitled to receive in bankruptcy," they wrote on April 30.
Regardless of what the bills say about the resolution of a failing firm, they also authorize the FDIC and the Federal Reserve to provide broad support to the financial system – such as lending money or guaranteeing debts – much as they did in 2008.
In theory, the idea is to keep healthy firms from being caught in the vortex of a crisis, with asset prices being pushed downward in an investor panic. But if most banks have engaged in risky behavior, propping up "the system" is also bailing out bad actors.
In the debate over tighter regulation, complex issues can be obscured by debates that may be largely semantic. Case in point: A politically important compromise in the Senate in recent days has been to remove what Republican critics called a $50 billion "bailout fund."
Republicans' concern was that the fund's existence would make firms conclude that more bailouts are on the way. A fair point, but other provisions also may encourage banks to expect aid.
With or without the fund, the reform bills call for the industry to bear any direct bailout costs. And for taxpayers and other Americans, the real cost of a crisis is not bailouts, but recession and joblessness.

The Decatur Book Festival is held every Labor day weekend. Decatur is only a few miles from Atlanta. I love this festival which started in 2006. There's always a great turn out and its put together very well.
Tananarive Due is going to be attending. OMG I am so excited. Yes, I am seriously fan gushing. The first book I read by Due was The Living Blood. I picked it up because of the cover, which screamed read me, which I did. I've been hooked ever since. The author's latest My Soul to Take comes out at the beginning of September, right on time for the festival. I've already had a chance to read it, loved it.
I've banned myself from buying any more books until I get a new job. Though I am very tempted to break that for an autographed copy of My Soul to Take. I have a job prospect so hopefully it won't be an issue.
Due will be signing with debut author Alma Katsu. Katsu's novel The Taker comes out at the beginning of September as well. I've seen the book in passing, its been getting excellent reviews. It hasn't been on my reading radar because of the romance aspect but I want to give it a try before the festival.
If I go to a panel event I like to be familiar with, if not all then most of the authors who are presenting. It can't be easy for debut authors to be on a panel. All the attention is on the established and bestselling authors. So I will do my best to get a review copy of The Taker and have a question ready for Katsu.
Elizabeth Nunez will be signing her latest Boundaries. I haven't read Nunez before but her name sounded familiar. Then I remembered why, author and educator Ashley Hope Perez's guest post on Women Writers of the Caribbean.
Tayari Jones will be signing Silver Sparrow. I haven't been enforcing my no buying book ban, and I already have a signed copy. So I probably won't go to this appearance, I don't want to be that fan that shows up every time an author is in town. Ain't nobody calling security on me.
If you live in Atlanta and haven't had an opportunity to attend one of Jones signings I highly recommend going. The author is from Atlanta and it shows in the turn out. Its nice to get caught up in that good energy and Silver Sparrow is one of the best books of the year.
Perisa Walker will be signing Black Orchid Blues, the third book in her Harlem Renaissance mystery. The book has a Lee Child blurb and I love me some Child. Mystery is my favorite genre, so I don't know how I've missed Walker. Better late then never.
There are many more authors I want to check out thanks to the Decatur Book Festival. If you plan on coming to Atlanta for the book festival or DragonCon which is also Labor Day weekend, you can get away with not renting a car for the weekend. Marta, Atlanta's public transportation system is not great but its perfect for a weekend convention or event.
All the major host hotels can be easily accessed via Marta. There's also an airport line stop which is very convenient. Towards the end of the month I may do a Marta for visitors post. It'll be fun and relevant filibuster.
The book festival is in downtown Decatur. The area is very nice and is right next to the train station. Dragon Con is in downtown Atlanta, the turn out is always huge. Sci fi/fantasy fans do it up right. I like all the detailed costumes. I remember some of my co-workers who went to Dragon Con would be working on their costumes for months.

Thank you for the kind thoughts for debut authors! I'm so looking forward to Decatur and it's an honor to be on a panel with Tananarive Due. I hope I'm not too awestruck. Looking forward to meeting you at the festival!

Hi All,
Am I the only person who recognises the logo for this group as being very similar to the Egyptian Amarna period artistic representations of the sun god, the aten, around 1350BC.
It's amusing that an atheist group has accidentally chosen a symbol which, during pharoah Akhenaten's reign, was used to represent the one true God...which was a massive break with traditional egyptian spiritualism which had masses of gods. Pharoah Akhenaten threw out all the other gods and replaced them with this one sun/sun god and had this symbol carved everywhere he could. After he died it didn't take long for the old gods to be brought back and carvings like this were systematically virtually vandalised out of the historical record.
So..this is the symbol of the one true god, and/or the symbol for the atheistic Brights. :-)

I saw an opening eye that radiated the light of self awareness. And puppies.
Interesting thread; I just found the nexus this evening.
Ancient religious traditions have no ownership over any image. Is Egyptology interesting? Hell yeah! You could follow up this logic by pointing out that paleolithic cave paintings also used similar images such as the 'sun cross.' Observation of the bright object in the sky probably does not endow a culture with a logo trademark.
It is, in fact, more fitting to use this image to belabor the obvious point that ideas are recycled generation after generation. 'The Brights' image belongs to Egyptian mythology as much as a tattoo belongs to a corpse. A candle in the dark could illustrate the same meaning just as well, perhaps better.

James Cameron's "Avatar" has become a colossus, raking in $1 billion within its first five minutes of release. Everyone is going to see it: Men, women, kids, grandparents, neighbors, cousins, llamas. There is, seemingly, no demographic averse to the space epic's charms.
Except one.
Hardcore Conservatives, those reliable tsk-tskers of all things Hollywood, have taken up arms against the movie's perceived liberal messages. According to Patrick Goldstein of LA Times:
There are tons of… grumpy conservative broadsides against the film, but I'll spare you the details, except to say that Cameron's grand cinematic fantasy, with its mixture of social comment, mysticism and transcendent, fanboy-style video game animation, seems to have hit a very raw nerve with political conservatives, who view everything -- foreign affairs, global warming, the White House Christmas tree -- through the prism of partisan sloganeering.
Goldstein quotes from well-known conservative pundits like Ross Douthat, John Nolte, and John Podhoretz, all of whom decry the film as a liberal propaganda against supposed American military imperialism and naked economic greed, with a strong pro-environment message at its heart.
Cameron has made no secret that "Avatar" is a movie that coincides with his political leanings. So the likes of Nolte and Podhoretz are correct in saying the movie has motives beyond simply entertaining you. But really, they're fighting a losing battle here. Most people who go see "Avatar" don't care about its politics. They care about seeing blue aliens in 3D. It's a movie designed, first and foremost, to entertain. The next person to join the Peace Corps as a result of seeing "Avatar" will be the first, I assure you.
Spending time picking on stuff like this, fighting the eternal culture war, is a waste of time for conservatives. First off, it makes them look like joyless whiners. What's the endgame? Would you like "Avatar" to be banned from theaters? No? Then what's your point? It's not as if Hollywood will ever STOP being liberal. In fact, there's little doubt that Cameron delights in making Republican blood boil.
On the flipside, many liberals are ALSO criticizing the movie for allegedly making its aliens a blatant echo of tribal Africans on Earth. It just goes to show you: any film that grosses a billion dollars is bound to displease folks out there who occasionally forget that sometimes a movie is just a movie, and little more.

NEW ORLEANS – The sun started its descent as the cab rolled alongside the Mississippi River through the Marigny and into the Bywater. A soft breeze kissed us as we stepped out onto the sidewalk on Poland Street. The evening was perfect, but when we saw the peeling paint and the sagging wood, we had to wonder.
For all the breathless promises of a one-of-a-kind dining experience, Bacchanal didn't look like much. A modest house long past its prime – if it ever had a prime to begin with. Then we stepped into the backyard and understood.
Christmas lights hung from the trees. Tables and chairs purchased at long-ago Blue Light Specials covered the yard. Flowers bloomed. A jazz band played in the corner. Wine and beer bottles swam in buckets of melting ice. The smells of roasting pork and grilling steak floated from the house. People drank and laughed and flitted from table to table like long-lost neighbors. We had come expecting a restaurant. What we found was a backyard cookout elevated to its highest form.
The Bacchanal experience begins inside that ramshackle house. There is beer and soda in the coolers on the left, but head for the wine racks. Whites and reds of every varietal are available at retail price – plus a $3 corkage fee. I grabbed a bottle of pinot noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley, filled my bucket with ice and headed to the backyard. Brett Michael Dykes, my New Orleans jungle guide, and Times-Picayune writers Jeff Duncan (Saints) and Brett Anderson (food critic) had already staked out a couple of tables. As my wine chilled to slightly below room temperature, Dykes and I headed to the window to order our food.
In the French Quarter, the pork shoulder chop I ordered would run about $25. At Bacchanal, it cost $12. It arrived juicy and smoky and succulent. I loved it, but I couldn't help ogling the dish some of my fellow diners had ordered – flank steak with fingerling potatoes, whipped feta, duck fat and strawberries. Fortunately, I'm a man of large appetites, and the steak was a mere $14.
The food came on paper plates. We ate it with plastic utensils. No one complained. Cook a dish perfectly, and you render china, flatware and ostentatious presentation utterly unnecessary. Pack a backyard with food, jazz, fascinating people and potential new friends, and a run-down property can turn into a wonderland.

Hidden Treasures
A few months back I was having a drink with a violinist mate of mine, a section leader in a leading London orchestra. When it comes to programme planning, he has seen it all. 'Take it from me,' he moaned into his beer, 'there is no such thing as a neglected masterpiece.'
I am not so sure. Our anniversary season is now going great guns and my desk is covered with CDs of Purcell, his predecessors and his successors. And as so often when I've doing my homework for Sunday mornings it's the pieces I don't know that give me the most pleasure. Until yesterday I'd never heard the six suites that make up Matthew Locke's Consort of Fower Parts.
Now they play and replay obsessively next to me, the archaic sound of a viol consort masking Locke's deceptively experimental flights of fancy. I even like the spelling, together with Locke's touching comment over one last movement: 'conclude thus'.
Once Purcell is done and dusted, Radio 3's other birthday boys lie in wait: Handel, Haydn and Mendelssohn. And again treasures lurk in the fringes. Wearing my pianist's hat, I've been asked to pick a Haydn piano trio for a summer festival. What a job! What a license to abandon all other work! For anyone who cares about Haydn, playing though his piano trios is a guiltily addictive pleasure. The music is so full of surprises, of wit, of exploration. It's impossible not to turn the next page, and equally impossible to resist the question, why don't we hear them more often?
But then Haydn piano trios fall into that strange category where for some reason quality and profusion become off-putting. I'm thinking of Bach Cantatas, Chopin Mazurkas, Schubert songs. If there were significantly fewer of them would we love them more? The pile of thick Haydn scores is building up by the piano stool. Time to go back to that C major Trio and just check if it's as wonderful as I remembered. It is. There are indeed neglected masterpieces. Conclude thus.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Chinese state-owned insurer PICC Group is in talks with American International Group Inc (AIG.N) and others to become cornerstone investors for its planned Hong Kong listing worth up to $4 billion, in what will be the city's biggest IPO in two years.
PICC started meeting institutional investors in Hong Kong on Thursday to gauge demand for the initial public offering, braving a slump this year in equity deals.
People's Insurance Company of China Group (PICC), one of the country's largest insurers, is also holding discussions with French reinsurer Scor (SCOR.PA), China Life Insurance Co Ltd (2628.HK) (601628.SS) and Chinese state utility State Grid Corp STGRD.UL among others for cornerstone stakes, Thomson Reuters publication IFR reported, citing sources.
About 50 percent of the IPO is covered by commitments from cornerstone investors, including financial institutions, Chinese corporates and other strategic investors, sources with direct knowledge of the plans said.
Cornerstone investments in IPOs, unique to Asia, aim to bolster confidence in an offer with commitments by established investors and institutions to buy large, fixed stakes that they agree not to sell until the end of an established lock-up period.
PICC will offer 6.9 billion new shares in the IPO, equivalent to a 16.7 percent stake in the company, said a source with direct knowledge of the plans who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter and declined to be named.
IPO issuance in Hong Kong has plunged more than 80 percent so far this year, with volumes likely to shrink to their lowest since 2008 as investors shun new deals because of volatility caused by Europe's debt troubles.
"It is definitely not the best time to come to market, but capital has been a pressing issue for the group for some time," said Stanley Tsai, an insurance analyst in Hong Kong. "The group will need capital urgently to support its growth ambitions, particularly on the life side."
"The company will have to price the IPO at a considerable discount to peers in order to generate enough interest from institutional investors," he added.
The IPO would be the biggest in Hong Kong since the $20.5 billion listing of AIA Group Ltd (1299.HK) in October 2010.
The company will start taking orders from investors during a roadshow due to start on November 22, with pricing of the IPO expected on November 29, the source said.
China Life and State Grid did not return e-mail or phone requests for comment on the PICC deal, while Scor could not be reached for comment, IFR said. AIG's Hong Kong spokesman had no immediate comment.
PICC, the biggest property and casualty insurer in China and the fifth-largest life and health insurer, had planned to go public in a dual Shanghai and Hong Kong offering worth up to $6 billion. It decided to move ahead with a Hong Kong listing first after the Shanghai portion of the deal failed to gain approval from Chinese regulators, who are concerned about weak stock market conditions on the mainland.
Founded in 1949, PICC is China's first nationwide insurer and has 2.42 million institutional insurance clients and about 130 million individual insurance customers, exceeding the entire population of Japan.
The company is controlled by China's Ministry of Finance, with an 88.7 percent stake, while the National Social Security Fund holds the remaining 11.3 percent.
PICC's revenue grew at an average annual rate of 22.5 percent from 2009 to 2011, reaching 236.3 billion yuan ($37.96 billion) in 2011 and 136.2 billion yuan in the six months ended in June 2012, according to its preliminary prospectus.
The company posted net profits of 7.9 billion yuan in 2011 and 7.14 billion yuan in the six months to June.
PICC hired a record 17 banks to help underwrite the IPO. The company is the parent of China's largest property insurer, Hong Kong-listed PICC Property & Casualty Co (2328.HK).
China International Capital Corp (CICC), Credit Suisse Group AG CSGN.VX, Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) and HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA.L) won mandates as sponsors of the deal.

Compared to some of our other jet-setting friends, it took us a long time to get around to flying with Laurel, and things went remarkably well. In part, I think this was related to traveling with a 3-year-old who can sink her teeth into an activity with relative independence, communicate needs, understand instructions, and not need as much gear. But we also made some planning decisions that made travel enormously easier:
1.) Booking a hotel suite. I've written before about how great it was to book adjoining hotel rooms in order to have a separate space for Laurel at bedtime (so we weren't left sitting in the dark at 8 p.m. bedtime). This time, we got even smarter and only priced out hotels that offered suites. We stayed at a Marriott and the suite wasn't fancy or sprawling, but the bedroom-plus-common area worked perfectly and was less expensive than booking two adjoining rooms. The suite also included a small refrigerator, which was handy for storing milk and snacks.
2.) Reserving a crib. Truthfully, Laurel is too big for a hotel crib or Pack 'n Play (what some hotels offer when you reserve a crib) but she's not a very accommodating bed buddy and actually likes to think of the Pack 'n Play as camping gear. We brought our own sheet and blanket but the hotel also kindly provided these items for us; ask ahead of time about crib bedding if you want to save on luggage space.
3.) Reserving a car seat with the rental car. This may seem a little controversial, and I definitely had a moment of regret when I saw a few other parents hauling their car seats through the airport, but I ultimately was glad we didn't have to worry about hauling or busting our own. We rented from Budget and the car seat wasn't fancy but it was functional and arrived as promised, spotlessly wrapped in plastic.
4.) Doubling back for the stroller. I have long loved our lightweight little Maclaren Triumph, and I am eternally grateful that we risked missing our flight to double back and get the stroller. Because we were totally off schedule in San Francisco, the stroller served excellent duty when, for example, Laurel passed out for two hours while we strolled the Japanese Tea Gardens and then went for sushi. Not to mention that I didn't see a single cheapo umbrella stroller for sale during our travels; we would have been in trouble without the Triumph.
Also: I have sung the praises of our One Step Ahead Folding Folding Potty Seat before and I'll sing 'em again. The peace of mind in the airport and plane bathrooms was incomparable.

In two posts, Jason Kuznicki here and here, expresses affirmation of the notion that if technology could defeat death, then this would be good. He notes, for example, "society would not collapse." Well, that depends on what you mean by "collapse", I suppose. Europe is currently undergoing a radical change of 1 child per couple … a society in which there are essentially no children, no parenting is one which is not recognizably like our society. The main similarity is that the people populating each have the same number of limbs and fingers in common and some other gross features. A complete and utterly radical change of society not being called "collapse" is purely semantic. Yes, there would be a society of some sort. It would however, not likely be recognizable as anything like the society today so "collapse" might indeed be appropriate.
Mr Kuznicki writes:
Worth noting: The worst antisocials in the world are not the old, who are generally quite decent, gentle, civic minded, and scrupulous. The worst antisocials — forgive me — are the children, who aren't able to act on their impulses, for which we should all give thanks. Add to these the young adults, who commit more of the violent crimes than anyone else, and it's fortunate indeed that we have the old as a counterweight. A nation of centenarians and older would largely without murder, rape, or robbery. Vandalism would be almost unknown, and wars would probably be fewer too. An aged but ageless world would be a sober, calm, wise, and fastidious place. I would love to live there rather than in the impetuous young world we know today.
As noted in a comment, is the maturity and responsibility of age the result of waning hormones (and perhaps the experience of child-rearing and watching parents or grand-parents die) or is it just the passing of years? Our novelists things pretty uniformly when depicting societies absent death, of which two come to mind readily Michael Moorcock's Dancers at the End of Time and two of Dan Simmon's series, the Hyperion/Endymion series as well as the duology Ilium/Olympos. A third author to soberly consider this is Tolkein, but his undying immortals (the elves) are not men. Mr Simmons and Mr Moorcock uniformly envision that without the threat of death (and in both, the further success of technology to conquer our natural world regarding our control of it), leaves society not wiser in their ageless-ness but the reverse. The occupants of that society are uniformly emotionally stunted and childish.
A society of immortals (or ones with an effective anti-senesence solution) loses the impetus for family and children. I had been somewhat taken aback when considering the birth rates of some regions in Europe and Japan where their birth rate approaches 1, an exponential halving of the population every generation. The notion that the average child would have no aunts, no uncles, no cousins and all 8 great-grandparents, 4 grandparents, and 2 parents have only one child to share. If that doesn't cause any measure of concern … there is a gulf of understanding of the what society consists of between us.
In Mr Moorcock's Dancers at the End of Time, our protagonist is very unusual in his society. He's the only person who anybody knows who was "born," his parents having undergone out of whim an unusual elder practice of "giving birth." This is likely
Blog-neighbor David Schraub, had some time ago, noted that in Black communities a number of single women forgo birth control, abortion (and of course celibacy) and have a child. When asked, the reason is that having a child might force responsbility into their lives. To help them grow up. Alstair McIntyre writes that we men are best described as Dependent Rational Animals, anti-sensence might cut this chain and attempt give some truth the currently false implicit assumption so often made by those in their 20s and early 30s of personal immortality. The point being, Mr Kuznicki seems to think it's the reflection, reading, and other study we perform as we get older is what gives us that wisdom, decency, and civility that the elderly display. As the great majority of our fellow travelers are not counted in the "self-examining" set, how that wisdom came about comes into question. Is it just a waning of hormones? Is it the habit of a past culture which had a notion that politiness was important? Is it instead, raising family, burying friends and relatives?
He wonders as well:
But by the same token, social liberals might want to worry considerably more, particularly those given to the impulsiveness of youth. And there are certainly darker possibilities to eternal life: What would today's world be like if all of the deplorable racists living in the mid-twentieth century were still with us? Not to speak ill of the dead, but aren't we much better off without the folks who got squeamish over sharing a water fountain with a colored person? Killing these people outright is too harsh, but I'm mighty glad I don't have to live with too many of them.
Now in my one sentence tag line and link on my morning linkage to this post, I amplified on this remark, noting in particular the notion not of an immortal racist, but in immortal (evil) autocrat, e.g., Josef Stalin in that case. For it's not just the racists one has to worry about. Cuba, North Korea, and perhaps Venezuala as well as many other countries are in the grips of autocratic dictators holding their posts by whatever means. If they, their sycophants and supporters control anti-senescence drugs in their country how much firmer might be their grip on their subjects? Dan Simmon's Fall of Endymion/Rise of Endymion pair features a hierarchy in control of their immortality solution.
Mr Kuznicki thinks if there is an issue with the society it would "self-correct":
No, society won't collapse. And no, we won't become antisocial. And you know what? If it started to, we would all just go off our meds and die. Modern medicine is usually one of the first things to go when a society really does collapse.
Collapse in the sense of the post Roman Europe is not the only way in which society can go off the rails of course. Anyone who was just a bit awake during the 20th century should be ready to admit that notion. There are more than just a few autocratic regimes in the world, those regimes control much of every day life. It is not too much to imagine that immortality treatments might be included in that control. If society itself instead of becoming more staid, responsible, and adult became (as our authors predict) less responsible, less adult … who is going to voluntarily cease medication. What if that medication was not a constant treatment regime but a genetic alteration which was permanant and required no future treatments? Who is going to reverse their treatment voluntarily?
Of course, the notion of living forever in this sense is very non-Christian. I just read a very interesting remark toward the end of For the Life of the World, by Alexander Schmemann, but … two things stop me from remarking futher at this time, first, I lent the book out to discuss it with a friend and as well, I need to think about it some more. However, it should be remarked that Christians might look at the example of the occaison of death in monastic communities … which is generally a loving joyous event. That should be what we aspire to, not life on earth forever. It is very common in Christian homily and discourse to refer to this as a "broken" world, filled with pain, and anguish, loss and other evils. If your pain lasts forever, is that good? Tolkein made note of that explictly in his Silmarillion, if I recall, noting that in his mythos, death for men is a ultimately a blessing … not an evil to be countered. But, on death and the Christian and the Christian response to health care and health technology is a post I hope to write … but in the future. (this is not it)
I should note, of the books mentioned above, the Dan Simmon's books I'd recommend highly if you enjoy science fiction, if you enjoy Homer and sci-fi … the Ilium/Olympos should be required reading. Amazon's description of Dancers is:
Enter a decaying far, far future society, a time when anything and everything is possible, where words like 'conscience' and 'morality' are meaningless, and where heartfelt love blossoms mysteriously between Mrs Amelia Underwood, an unwilling time traveller, and Jherek Carnelian, a bemused denizen of the End of Time. The Dancers at the End of Time, containing the novels An Alien Heat, The Hollow Lands and The End of All Songs, is a brilliant homage to the 1890s of Wilde, Beardsley and the fin de siecle decadents, satire at its sharpest and most colourful.
which is now marketed as a sci-fi "masterwork". The notion that 'morality' and 'conscience' disappear with the absence of death and real consequences of actions is not one which strikes the reader as unlikely.

NEWS-Getting Rowdy: local telco offers Nascar on demand
Forget Blackberry, with its emailing, web-surfing, picture-snapping features. The newest trend in cellphones may be– drum roll, please– Nascar. At least that's what local company Labrador Communications is banking on with its new service, Rowdy, available to 55 million American Cingular customers as of April 23.
"The idea of a phone being a piece of media is a salient concept," says Rowdy co-founder Tyler Sewell, who believes phones should stick with audio, rather than trying to be all things to all people. Sewell came up with the idea for a Nascar news-by-phone service over dinner nearly four years ago. "I literally wrote it on a napkin," he says.
It wasn't long before Sewell had rounded up a few of his former colleagues at on-line games company Kesmai– Tom van der Voort and Rusty Speidel– and a few investors. Finding money, he says, wasn't as hard as finding a corporate partner.
"We talked to Nextel and Sprint," says Speidel, "but for whatever reasons, they didn't work out."
Cingular, however, recognized the Rowdy potential after doing a survey of its own customers.
"They found that a quarter of their 55 million customers said they were Nascar fans," says Speidel. If those Nascar fans are willing to shell out $4.99 a month for the insider sports news, it doesn't take a math whiz to hear the ka-ching. A deal was soon inked, and Rowdy was on the road.
Part of the appeal of the Rowdy service, says Sewell, is the fact that it's "not overproduced. We tailor the concept to be personal." And the 12- to 15-minute daily audio content is supposed to be funny, too.
The hosts of the show are two fictional characters, Reginald "Buck" Fever and Leonard "Bass" Masters, who live in tiny Troutdale, Virginia, real-life hometown of Sewell's wife, Catherine.
Sewell, who plays "Buck" and van der Voort, who plays "Bass," spent months honing the concept they call "Saturday Night Live meets Nascar." In character, the two conduct interviews with real Nascar drivers, read the news, tell stories about life in Troutdale, and banter with other visiting fictional characters. Because Sewell is familiar with the tiny town, "We make references to real places," he laughs, confusing people who wonder whether Buck and Bass might actually exist.
Big name race car drivers and sports reporters also make guest appearances on the Rowdy show.
"You have a former driver interviewing a current driver," says van der Voort, explaining the goal is to allow fans to ask questions that typical sportscasters don't answer for them.
"It's less voice of God," says Sewell, "and more giant watercooler."
In the recording studio inside their downtown offices, Sewell and van der Voort, who has a theater background, slip in and out of character, laughing as they play back some early– and especially rowdy– segments of the Rowdy show, including a few that Cingular deemed far too racy for race fans. Current content is family friendly, says van der Voort, whose flair for the theatric is undeniable.
"I did some voice-over work in New York," admits this one-time advertising director, who says part of the appeal of the Rowdy gig is "the high level of creativity" it affords.
Just 200 Cingular customers currently subscribe to the service, but Sewell says the company hasn't yet begun its marketing blitz. "We're just trying to make sure it works," he says. And he's confident that once the advertising for the service ramps up, the customer base will rev up.
"We found something here," he says, "that works for race fans."
Rowdy guys: Rusty Speidel, Tom van der Voort, and Tyler Sewell calm down for a brief moment

This cracking creation (thanks Bilco) is based on a "might have been" estate railway on the fictional island of Kiloran. The Characters in the 1940's film "I know where I'm going" were heading for Kiloran but failed to arrive. Their present day descendents run the place and Camas Orainn (St Orainn's bay) is the northern terminus of the railway.
