Obama Is Boosting Biden's 2016 Prospects

I doubt he could get the nomination, but it would be good entertainment.
Obama Is Boosting Biden's 2016 Prospects
By Richard Benedetto - January 14, 2013
In case you havent noticed, President Obama and his vaunted PR machine are orchestrating a full-court press to boost the presidential stock of his loyal vice president, Joe Biden.
It is not clear whether Biden will seek the Oval Office next time -- he will be 73 years old when 2016 rolls around. But just in case, the political foundation is carefully being laid and the public expectation is being buttressed by White House strategists, and dutifully documented by the media.
Biden stokes talk of presidential campaign in 2016, said a headline in Sundays Washington Examiner.
Since the Obama-Biden re-election in November, the loquacious vice president has been all over the place, doing everything from the ceremonial (attending the Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia) to the monumental: leading a high-profile presidential task force on gun violence that will make recommendations to Obama on Tuesday.
Thanks to the president putting him in charge, rather than someone such as the FBI director or a prominent jurist, the work of the task force -- a big deal since the Newtown, Conn., shootings last month -- has given the vice president a lot of face time on television. He met last week, amid much media hoopla and commentary, with groups such as the NRA, video-game executives and representatives of the entertainment industry.
In addition to all that, Biden found time to negotiate an eleventh-hour fiscal-cliff compromise deal with Senate Republicans, visit devastated New Jersey in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, lead the official U.S. delegation to the inauguration of Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto, and meet or phone a bevy of world leaders including Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, European Parliament President Martin Schulz, and Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos.
Biden also got fluffy media coverage for swearing in new members of the Senate and reading the certified electoral vote count that returned him and Obama to office for a second term.
Even a Biden pre-Christmas shopping trip to a newly opened Costco store in Washington went deeper than its photo-op surface. According to the Washington Post, Susan Brotman, wife of Costco co-founder Jeff Brotman, is an Obama-Biden bundler who raised $508,646 in contributions for the 2012 campaign. Such a financial connection could be a valuable addition to a possible Biden presidential run in 2016.
Over the weekend, the Associated Press reported that the vice president has offered to talk or meet personally with the families of victims in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, which would translate into yet more media coverage.
With all that publicity, it was inevitable that pundits would begin raising the Biden presidential flag.
When it comes to getting things done, Biden is no joke, said the headline on an Ezra Klein column in Saturdays Washington Post. The gist of the column is that while Biden is gaffe prone and billed by some as lacking the gravitas to president, he is immensely likable -- more so than Obama -- and respected by Republicans as an effective negotiator and mediator.
He may sometimes make himself a punch line, but he has the record of a heavyweight, added Klein, a liberal columnist often in sync with White House thinking.
Whether by design or not, Obama is a willing abettor of the Biden-for-president speculation. In announcing the fiscal-cliff agreement, he went out of the way to refer to Biden as his extraordinary vice president. Obama hasnt always been so effusive in his praise of his running mate, sometimes expressing chagrin (if not embarrassment) at Bidens verbal slips. But just assigning the veep to several high-profile jobs after the election suggests he wants to raise the Biden profile.
Perhaps the president is sending a message to Hillary Clinton that he will not automatically back her if she decides to run in 2016. With Biden in the field, Obama has a ready excuse as to why he cant endorse the early front-runner. To be sure, Clinton has been a loyal secretary of state. But Bidens loyalty has been second to none, and Clinton was Obamas strongest and bitterest rival for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
Moreover, her recent health problems might compromise her presidential prospects. Though younger than Biden, she still would be 69 shortly before Election Day 2016. Obama and Biden will meet privately with Clinton in the Oval Office on Monday. While the agenda was not made public, given the current Biden publicity surge both sides are likely to be taking political as well as foreign policy notes.
As for 2016 hopefuls not present at that White House meeting today, it can said that Obama has displayed no particular loyalty to or affinity for the two other Democrats most mentioned as possible presidential candidates in four years, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley.
So until the 2016 landscape becomes clearer and Obama gets to thinking more seriously about whom he would like to succeed him, Biden makes a good place holder.

Can't we do better than this??
Biden meets with Democratic officials, stoking 2016 chatter
Published January 23, 2013
Associated Press
Joe Biden in 2016? The inauguration is barely over but the vice president already is dropping plenty of hints that he might have another political act.
Biden packed his schedule with events and receptions attended by party stalwarts throughout the long weekend of inauguration festivities, stoking speculation he may be laying the groundwork to carry the torch from President Barack Obama. It comes after Biden played a prominent role in brokering a compromise on the fiscal cliff standoff with Congress and his work developing gun violence legislation following December's deadly school shooting in Connecticut.
The next presidential campaign is a long way off and the Democratic primary chase will be dotted with plenty of "ifs," most notably whether outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton decides to seek the nomination. Clinton, the former New York senator and first lady, remains the heavy favorite among party activists but several notable Democrats, including Biden, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, are said to be keeping their options open in case Clinton decides not to run again.
As vice president, Biden can stay in the spotlight and is no stranger to the demands of a presidential campaign after failed bids in 1988 and 2008. The former Delaware senator has racked up a long list of domestic and foreign policy achievements even as his occasional off-script moments have become fodder for Republicans.
"There's a whole lot of reasons why I wouldn't run," Biden, who will be nearly 74 on Election Day in 2016, told CNN in an interview before the inauguration. "I don't have to make that decision for a while. In the meantime, there's one thing I know I have to do, no matter what I do. I have to help this president move this country to the next stage."
Yet with his high-profile perch, Biden is doing nothing to tamp down the speculation.
Biden's private swearing-in ceremony on Sunday was attended by recently elected New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan, someone who would be a potent ally in the state's first-in-the-nation primary. Attendees at a Sunday afternoon reception at the vice president's residence at the Naval Observatory said they noticed a lot of party activists from early voting states like New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina.
"We can always start the political calculations in terms of the number of delegates needed to secure a nomination. But let's just say I see a number of superdelegates here as well," Democratic strategist Donna Brazile told reporters following the ceremony.
Biden later dropped by the Iowa State Society Inaugural Ball, slipping up and telling partygoers he was "proud to be president of the United States," prompting cheers. He quickly corrected himself, saying he was "proud to be vice president of the United States, but I am prouder to be ... President Barack Obama's vice president." Laughing it off, he said, "There's goes that."
During the weekend, Biden attended a ball at the Kennedy Center celebrating the party's Latino voters, who turned into a powerful voting bloc in November's election. Biden called the Latino community "a decisive factor" in the election. "This is your moment," Biden said. "America owes you." Some party stalwarts said it was noteworthy that Biden asked Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina justice, to administer the oath of office.
Biden also attended a ball honoring environmentalists, sponsored by the National Wildlife Federation and other environmental groups, where he said the Obama administration was committed to confronting climate change. "I don't intend to let these four years go by without getting a hell of a lot done," on the environment, Biden said.
On Inauguration Day, Biden and his wife, Jill, walked part of the parade route, waving to the cheering crowds in a made-for-TV moment. At one point, the vice president even jogged across Pennsylvania Avenue to shake hands with "Today" show weatherman Al Roker.
"It seems obvious that he's going to keep that option open for himself and do the right things," said Mike Gronstal, the Democratic leader of the Iowa state Senate who attended the reception. Gronstal said Biden actively worked the room, thanking supporters for their help during the 2012 campaign. "It was very personal time," he said.
On Tuesday afternoon, Biden met with members of the Democratic National Committee at a private reception after a DNC meeting, where delegates unanimously re-elected Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz to another term as chairman. A frequently played campaign theme song, REO Speedwagon's "Roll with the Changes," could be heard from outside the room and attendees said Biden thanked them for their work during the campaign and offered an upbeat assessment of the second term.
If Clinton decides not to run, Biden could draw upon good will from party activists, an ability to connect with regular folks and extensive campaigning in key states like Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida and Ohio. But he would also need to deal with personal poll numbers that rank below Obama's and a propensity to commit foot-in-mouth moments in an era where political gaffes can quickly sink a campaign.
New Hampshire state Sen. Martha Fuller Clark, who was among the attendees at Biden's Sunday reception, said it was "early to read into" Biden's interest in 2016. But he said there was "huge support" in the key primary state.
"He's deeply admired and loved in New Hampshire," Clark said. "Clearly Joe Biden occupies a key place in our hearts."

The guys over at the Android Developers Blog have posted a new open source sample application for would-be Android developers to examine. Called Photostream, the application is basically a client for viewing pictures from the Flickr.com photo site.
The sample application source code demonstrates some basic programming methods for adding shortcuts to an Android smartphone's home screen, the use of themes, and how to use the HttpClient class to connect to remote web servers, as well as demonstrating the use of animations and basic image manipulation.
The Apps for Android project doesn't actually provide a link to the Photostream source code as of the moment I am writing this, but I figure it will appear soon since the developers blog has said to look for it there.
You'll find more screen shots of Photostream below.

After a six-year construction hiatus, land owners are hoping to revitalize plans for a large condominium and townhome development near the Guilford County line.
Since the initial agreement for city water and sewer services timed out last year, any future Brightwood Farms building phases require a new agreement with Burlington. That may prove tricky, since a city ordinance requires a petition for annexation accompany water and sewer requests, and the Brightwood Farms property can�t legally be annexed by Burlington.
The 512 acres just north of U.S. 70 and running the eastern bank of Rock Creek was originally planned for a 2,500-unit residential development, said City Engineer Lanny Rhew. In 2002, a 10-year agreement with the original developer, Arcon Inc., established that Burlington would provide water and sewer services to the homes.
The existing 24-inch water line along U.S. 70 that now delivers Burlington water to Greensboro was earmarked in 2002 to serve the Brightwood Farms area, Rhew said.
�The Pardues owned the entire acreage,� he said. �Over a period of time they had sold acres per phases,� which were initiated and resulted in about 425 units in Brightwood Farms, which are currently served by Burlington water and sewer, said Rhew.
�Arcon, I assume, had a contract with them to purchase the entire 512 acres,� he said.
But that never happened, and Arcon didn�t meet the terms of the agreement with Burlington, said Rhew. �They had to have phases of it purchased, which initiated development in certain timelines, and there was a certain amount of build-out that was required,� and the agreement expired in November 2012, he said.
Though Phases 1, 2, and 4 of the development were initiated and are under new ownership, Rhew said the Pardue family retained 200 acres of the original 512. Now, the family wants to develop 27 of their 200 acres, in Phases 5B and 5C, and want city water and sewer.
At a city council work session this month, Mike Wannamaker, Realtor for the Pardue family, said the new phases of Brightwood Farm would mean money for the city. Rhew said the city would gain monthly usage fees of $12,000 to $15,000 from the proposed development upon build out.
Wannamaker added, �We�re talking about paying $1,000 per acre in an assessment fee,� plus dwelling fees. �It wouldn�t make much sense for you all to be turning down money.�
But the previous agreement granting city water and sewer to new development in Brightwood Farms expired last year, and the land owners will have to draft a new one for the city to consider.
What makes things interesting is the fact that when requesting Burlington water and sewer services, per city ordinance, the Pardues have had to submit a voluntary annexation petition including an agreement stating they won�t contest annexation of their property in the future.
But Burlington isn�t legally in a position to annex the property because it�s not contiguous to city limits and doesn�t meet the criteria for satellite annexation.
�It is closer to Whitsett, and actually parts of it are closer to Gibsonville, and parts of it are closer to Sedalia,� than to any contiguous corporate limits of Burlington, said City Planner Daniel Shoffner.
And at last week�s work session, Mayor Pro Tem David Huffman and Councilman Bob Ward questioned whether any water and sewer agreement entered into by the landowners and Burlington would be nullified by the fact that the city can�t actually annex the property.
Interim City Attorney Charles Bateman said Monday that Burlington could still hypothetically grant water and sewer without annexing, as has been common practice recently, but Huffman�s and Ward�s question will definitely be part of the conversation as the city reviews the proposed agreement.
Bateman said he hopes to have the Pardue family�s version of the agreement by next week. �They are supposed to send a proposal to us and we will respond to that.�

A state-mandated Beaufort County reassessment has forced Bluffton to work to tighten its proposed 2014 budget.
Bluffton Town Manager Anthony Barrett and Director of Finance Shirley Freeman met with Town Council last week to discuss the proposed budget.
With this year being a state-mandated countywide reassessment year of all real properties, Barrett warned Bluffton residents of an increase in the millage rate.
"What this means in real dollars is, if your residence was assessed at $150,000, you paid $228 in taxes to the town," Barrett explained. "If in fiscal year 2014 your house was assessed the same, you would pay $265.80. And, if like most citizens, you see things in how it hits your pocketbook, it would be an extra $37.80 for the year."
Before the county's reassessment, Bluffton's value stood at nearly $144 million ($143,905,978). The county's preliminary reassessment value of the entire 54 square miles was found to be about $123 million ($123,305,735) or down about $20 million ($20,600,243) from before.
The decrease in value has sent town officials in a scramble to tighten the budget, and increase revenue in any way possible. The town of Bluffton still must meet the property tax collection for fiscal year 2014 - which explains the increase in the millage rate.
"We only try to fund needs, not wants," Barrett told council. "I think we have a tremendous track record of doing that the past four years."
One proposed solution to the issue is a Local Option Sales Tax (LOST), which would be a one-cent sales tax levied on sales in Beaufort County. County Council must first give its approval and place the referendum on the ballot for vote. If it passes, the sales tax will be implemented May 1, 2014.
Currently, 31 of the 46 counties in South Carolina have Local Option Sales Taxes. Included in those counties is Berkeley County, whose population (189,781 according to the latest census) is comparable to that of Beaufort County (168,049 according to the latest census). Though outnumbered by roughly 21,000 people, the South Carolina Department of Revenue estimates that Beaufort County would raise $21,858,862 in total revenue, which is $10,368,913 more than Berkeley County accrued from the Local Option Sales Tax last fiscal year. Of the estimated $21,858,862, the town of Bluffton would rake in $1,388,203 in the first year of the tax alone.
"There's no reason for us not to have this option," Councilman Ted Huffman said of the suggested Local Option Sales Tax. "I think this would be an absolutely great thing for any county that attracts tourists. We've got outsiders coming in who would be paying this tax."
The predicted success of the Local Option Sales Tax in Beaufort County is evidenced by fellow tourist destination Charleston County, where $45,568,650 was generated by the tax last year alone.
As of right now, the proposed total consolidated budget for fiscal year 2014 is $18,369,790, which is trimmed down $640,080 from fiscal year 2013. The Stormwater Fund and other Capital Improvement Programs represent most of the cuts from fiscal year 2013.
"We will want to postpone certain capital projects until later in the year," Barrett said. "And in some cases, until next year."

PORTLAND, Ore. — People have labeled Jameer Nelson for years.
He's heard it all: that he's "too small" to be an effective NBA player, that he's a "shoot-first" point guard, that he's "injury prone."
People now can call him something else: record-holder.
Nelson needed just two assists Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers to reach 2,777 for his career and pass Scott Skiles for the Orlando Magic's franchise assists record. Nelson broke the record with 4:13 remaining in the first quarter when he drove to the hoop and dished to Andrew Nicholson for an easy dunk.
"I'm not a guy for individual accolades, but it would definitely mean a lot," Nelson said after Orlando's shootaround Monday at the Rose Garden. "Records are made to be broken, so I'm very fortunate to be in a position to break a record in any category."
Fortunate? Yes. Seven months ago, it looked like he might leave the Magic.
Nelson had a difficult choice to make. He had one year remaining on his contract and would have earned about $7.9 million in guaranteed salary if he exercised his player option for 2012-13. Or, in search of a multiyear deal, he could have become a free agent without any guarantee that he'd return to Orlando.
Free agency carried risk. General manager Otis Smith always had been one of Nelson's biggest supporters, but the Magic dismissed Smith in May. The team hired Rob Hennigan to replace Smith on June 20, just days before free agency started.
Nelson chose free agency, and his gamble worked.
His new deal is worth $8.6 million for this season and also is guaranteed for $8.6 million in 2013-14, according to HoopsWorld and ShamSports, two websites that track salary data.
The final year, 2014-15, is partially guaranteed for anywhere from $2 million to $4 million, which gives the franchise more financial flexibility than if it instead had matched the guaranteed four-year $34 million contract the New Orleans Hornets offered free-agent power forward Ryan Anderson.
"Nobody knows what the future holds for myself or the organization," said Nelson, who will turn 31 next month. "But I've said it before: I love playing in Orlando."
He received additional long-term financial security, and now he and his wife can continue raising their four children in Central Florida. But the new contract comes at a price: The Magic are starting a rebuilding period.
A looming defeat to the Trail Blazers would represent the Magic's ninth in a row, the longest slide of Nelson's pro career and the franchise's longest losing streak since March 13-April 10, 2004.
"If I didn't want to be here, I wouldn't have signed back," he said. "We win together and we lose together."
The team entered Monday with an 11-13 record this season in games he's played and a 1-8 record in games he's missed because of injuries. Nelson was averaging 14.5 points and a career-high 6.8 assists per game.
Nelson has meshed well with first-year coach Jacque Vaughn, a former point guard who, like Nelson, lacked exceptional speed or jumping ability.
"In this day and age, where so many guys are so athletic and so big, he still gets it done," Vaughn said. "He has a feistiness about him that allows him to do it, and his ability to make plays I'd say is pretty unique."
Nelson is listed as 6 feet tall, though that probably is generous.
His lack of speed and his diminutive stature hamper him, especially on defense.
But he's succeeded anyway.
"I've been a small guard all my life so I've adapted playing against bigger guys no matter who it is," Nelson said. "If I was bigger or taller, whatever, maybe I wouldn't be me. So I look at it as a positive to be my size. It doesn't discourage me to be the size that I am. I guess it's the size of my competitive nature and the size of my heart."

AP's Attempt At DRM'ing The News Shuts Down
from the total-failure dept
Since the launch... we heard absolutely nothing about NewsRight. There was a launch, with its newspaper backers claiming it was some huge moment for newspapers, and then nothing.
Well, until now, when we find out that NewsRight quietly shut down. Apparently, among its many problems, many of the big name news organization that owned NewsRight wouldn't even include their own works as part of the "license" because they feared cannibalizing revenue from other sources. So, take legacy companies that are backwards looking, combine it with a licensing scheme based on no legal right, a lack of any actual added value and (finally) mix in players who are scared of cannibalizing some cash cow... and it adds up to an easy failure.

Who's in it? Matt Davis as Jeff Sefton and Jessica Lucas as Skye Yarrow (inset), plus Robert Knepper as Billy Grimm/Roger Reeves (walking, from left) and Alona Tal as Kelly Collins/Marti. What it's about: Investigative journalist Jeff Sefton begins to take his conspiracy-theory obsessed brother more seriously when the brother--who believes life is imitating plot lines of a fictional, violent TV show about the battle of wits between charismatic cult leader Billy Grimm and LAPD detective Kelly Collins--goes missing. How long before I bail? This is the riskiest, most non-CW series on the CW slate, and for that I'm happy. I'm very intrigued by the idea of Davis, whom I loved in "The Vampire Diaries," matching wits with Knepper, who's can bring the complex baddie. Plus "Farscape" creator Rockne S. O'Bannon is an executive producer (along with "Chuck" co-boss Josh Schwartz and others) and he wrote the pilot. I'm likely in for the entire run of this midseason drama.

Is the 'Man of Steel' a megaplex bully?
You don't want to think of Superman as a bully. At least I don't. But that's what Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" is.
No, I don't mean the fictional character is a bully in the movie (though at odd moments when he's not keeping his super powers hidden, his concern for vulnerable humans is worrisomely minimal). And no, I don't mean there's anything remotely bullying about Henry Cavill, the absurdly handsome Brit who now plays him (and young Clark Kent) and is so boring that he makes old Christopher Reeve back in the day seem like the life of the party.
I mean the movie itself, which is a relentlessly serious exploration of Superman's origin story and his adjustment problems on the sleazy, paranoid third planet from the sun (or, as Superman's Dad Jor-El puts it, the planet near "the yellow star"). It is almost as pitilessly loud and spectacularly full of CGI in collision as a "Transformers" movie and it has, by my count, exactly three certifiably lighter moments in its punishing 145-minute length. And two of those lighter moments occur in the last five minutes. (One, to give the film some credit, is the mildly twinkly moment that ends the film and promises a whiff of charm the next time around.)
Let me admit that the penultimate action sequence – just before the two-hour mark – is actually as exciting as it is spectacular (a difference which this movie will draw for you in quite savage precision before it's over).
Let me admit, too, several niceties in the big comic book movie racket along the way: the strong emotional charge of the death of Jonathan Kent (Clark's Dad, played by Kevin Costner) in Kansas; the audience adrenaline rush when the bad guys are mean to Superman's Mom (Diane Lane) and you know there will be consequences.
And you'd be hard put to find any journalist – especially this one – who doesn't grin ear to ear at this summer blockbuster's ringing endorsement of newspapering as a profession.
But the movie is no fun. And there's no profundity to it either. Lois Lane, I'd bet, would have been the first to admit it. As incredible as the relentless CGI is to look at, people are going to leave the theater and have a terrible time admitting to each other just how little they actually enjoyed the last two and a half hours of their lives.
In fact, if you want to know how diabolically clever movie marketing can be, there is even a moment early on in this film when Russell Crowe – as Superman's Dad Jor-El – is fighting with evil General Zod (Michael Shannon) over the certainty of planet Krypton's demise and someone says "Jor-El was right. This is the end." You'll recognize the last four words as the exact title of the frequently hilarious megaplex apocalypse comedy that is also opening this week.
You can bet your kryptonite that some very clever studio folks figured out early that the merrily sophomoric silliness of "This Is The End" is likely to give audiences everything in an end-of-planet movie that no one could possibly get from "Man of Steel." That, I submit, is a counterprogramming ploy for the business grad school textbooks.
Me, I liked it better when Superman was Jewish.
Oh. You didn't know? Well, for a few decades now, writers and critics have understood that it was far from insignificant that the Superman/Clark Kent duality was invented by a couple of nice Jewish boys named Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster from Cleveland. Or, as Harry Brod writes in "Superman Is Jewish? How Comic Book Superheroes Came to Serve Truth, Justice and the Jewish-American Way" (Free Press), "The comics industry came out of the streets of Lower Manhattan, mostly from Jews and Italians who were one step away from the immigrant experience and two steps away from respectability … Shut out of the centers of American culture, they created new cultural forms to bring America to them."
"Who knows what lurked in the memories of young Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster when they created their tale of immigrant refugee baby Kal-El's arrival on Earth? … Is it just chance that he is sent from an old world, Krypton, that is about to explode, to a new one, Earth (which will readily be seen standing for Europe, on the verge of self-destruction, to America, with its promise of new life, especially in those 1930s.)" Which is when Superman was invented.
And which is the story told to us in the 21st century with pitiless solemnity and spectacle and explosive violence in "Man of Steel." It's a war movie where General Zod – exiled from Krypton just before the planet's fiery demise – is not only the bad guy but, because he's played by Shannon, is also the tallest guy in the movie.
He's the snarling Nazi stand-in. All Kryptonians seem to be survivalists, not to mention believers in themselves as a kind of super race. They don't want to talk about ethics. If it means destroying the human race so they can start a new planet, what's it to them? (Any of that sound familiar from World War II?)
The trouble with watching this old variation of the tale from the '30s is that it's utterly and profoundly joyless in this telling.
It isn't even that much fun when a little eensy-weensy mini-droplet of romantic chemistry shows up between Amy Adams as Lois (a Pulitzer Prize winner, no less) and Superman.
You have to give the movie some credit for clairvoyance. There was no way its makers could know what the current news would be when the film was finally released, and yet here is a movie where a giant Kansas tornado is a dramatic turning point and where government manipulation and investigation is a huge pro-and-con issue.
So help me, none of it seems to matter that much – especially if you remember those '70s and '80s Superman movies directed by Richard Donner and, would you believe, the great lunatic comedy director Richard Lester? ("A Hard Day's Night," "Help," "The Knack" "The Three Musketeers.")
This thing gives you Siegel and Shuster's origin story in the most solemnified and quasi-reverential way but not in any way that gives you any hope for rollicking pleasure when it moves permanently from Krypton and Kansas to Metropolis.
The movie, of course, will make a fortune. And you might, as I do, wish Clark and Lois and Perry White (played by Laurence Fishburne) etc. a safe trip to Metropolis for good next time.
But you might also wish dearly that the on-screen survival of our whole species and our whole planet depended more on people who might actually find it a cause for happiness, much less joy.

Daniella began her reiki training in 2000, when she received her first treatment from a Reiki Master. She was enchanted and inspired, and her eyes were opened to a whole new world of healing potential. She soon began studying reiki, and in 2005 she became a Reiki Master. Fascinated by the field of vibrational medicine, she was drawn to participate in a sound healing training course taught by renowned healer, Tom Kenyon. This work was deeply illuminating and allowed her to discover a unique way to combine reiki and sound therapy for healing purposes.
Daniella is an Usui Reiki Master and certified Sound Healer practicing in the Seattle Los Angeles areas.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a holistic healing energy that helps restore balance in your body, mind, and spirit. It is gentle and non-invasive, inducing states of deep relaxation where healing can take place. Translated from Japanese, reiki means "spiritually guided life force energy" and is an ancient form of hands on healing.
How Does Reiki Work?
The practitioner serves as a channel for the reiki energy, which flows out of the practitioners' hands, and into the recipient. Those familiar with acupuncture know that needles are used to stimulate the energy flow (chi) in the body. Like acupuncture, reiki works as a high frequency stimulus to restore proper flow of your chi by breaking up energetic blockages you may have. These blockages are the causes of illness, and by clearing them, your health can be restored.
What is Sound
Sound Healing is the therapeutic application of sound accompanied by the intent to heal. Because our bodies are vibrational systems, sound can have a powerful effect on our physical and mental states.
How does Sound Healing work?
Did you know that your body is in a state of constant vibration? Every atom, cell, organ, gland, muscle, and bone have a normal frequency at which they vibrate when healthy. All parts of your body vibrate together like the instruments of an orchestra. When one organ is unwell and out of harmony, it effects the whole body. This imbalance can result in illness, depression, fatigue, among other ailments.
My goal is to help restore the balance in your body, mind, and emotional state. Using my voice and Tibetan bowls, I create layers of healing tones that help you release the energetic blockages in your body. I use my voice to attain a vibrational resonance with the blockages, and then entrain them into a higher vibational state. This process helps release negative emotions, patterns, memories, and tension held in the body and mind. It also provides an infusion of healing energy to any imbalances you may have.
Treatment Information:
Treatments: A session begins with a personal assessment of what you will need during your treatment. This is generally followed by a sound healing where I use my voice, Tibetan, and crystal bowls to clear your body of any negative or stagnant energy. The sound healing will also bring an infusion of positive and constructive energy for your body and mind to integrate. Following this, is a full body reiki treatment that will leave you feeling peaceful and deeply relaxed.
I am also available for outcalls if you are not able to come to my office. There will be a small travel fee depending on distance.

|Hypertension, Pulmonary
|Drug: Ambrisentan - low dose Drug: Ambrisentan - high dose
|Phase 2
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive, highly debilitating disease characterized by vascular obstruction and the variable presence of vasoconstriction, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and right-sided heart failure. If left untreated, PAH ultimately leads to right ventricular failure and death; adult subjects have a median survival of 2.8 years without treatment. Epidemiological estimates vary but prevalence in Europe is thought to be of the order of 15 cases per million. Large scale epidemiology studies of PAH in children have not been conducted and there is no or limited outcome data in pediatric PAH patients. A register in France (1995-1996) estimates the prevalence in children is as low as 3.7 cases per million. In a national, comprehensive country wide survey of the epidemiology of idiopathic PAH (IPAH) management and survival in the United Kingdom (UK) the incidence was 0.48 cases per million children per year and the prevalence was 2.1 cases per million children.
Ambrisentan (VOLIBRIS™ tablets) is an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) marketed in the European Union (EU) and some other countries by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and in the United States as LETAIRIS® by Gilead Sciences Inc. Ambrisentan is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with PAH to improve exercise capacity, decrease the symptoms of PAH, and delay clinical worsening.
The primary purpose of this paediatric study is to provide clinically relevant information on the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of ambrisentan in children with the most common causes of PAH in this age group. The design of the study is also intended to provide information to guide dose selection and supportive efficacy data in this age group. Despite the fact that none of the currently available adult treatments are licensed for use in children <12 yrs, (with the exception of bosentan which was recently approved for use in paediatric population from 2 years of age) they are widely used off label. This study will provide useful prescribing information to the medical community for treating this orphan disease in children in this environment of rapidly changing medical practice.
This study is part of a Paediatric Investigational Plan (PIP; EMEA-000434-PIP01-08) agreed with the European Medicines Agency's Paediatric Committee (PDCO).

Ambiguous Gender Identity is a trope for characters who may or may not be transgender.
Despite the trope name, it is very important to note that the currently preferred term in English is transgender, not transsexual.
The language around trans discourse changes very rapidly, due to being de-pathologised and re-written by trans people themselves instead of by outside onlookers.

Also contrast Easy Sex Change; though it has at least a of realism, it minimizes or ignores many physical, psychological, and/or social complications of sex change.
Sometimes, two different actors are used before and after the transition.
Contrast Gender Bender, which is a trope about characters changing to another sex through magic or Applied Phlebotinum.
Trans women are more common in media than trans men, whose existence is largely ignored by the mainstream despite statistically being equally common in Real Life.
When a Baleful Polymorph causes characters to get transformed into another sex though, it's almost always male characters getting stuck with female bodies — in other words, trans men.
Transgender people aren't a new group; their existence has been documented throughout history, but they're typically discriminated against in their respective societies, which clouds their visibility.

Volume 17, Number 40 | February 25 - March 3, 2005
By Suzanne Zionts
I wouldnt recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but theyve always worked for me.
Hunter S. Thompson
Hunter S. Thompson killed himself last Sunday. My only encounter with the great Gonzo journalist was in a Barnes & Noble in Union Sq. when Kingdom of Fear first came out in 2003.
My hair was done. My makeup was painted on at some Soho boutique. I was waiting at the bookstore for about three hours. During this time, a man was carried out on a stretcher with alcohol poisoning and another two were kicked out for drinking out of brown paper bags inside the store. This was not an average book signing.
And then the doctor of journalism had entered the building.
I cried when he was walking through the crowd on the way to his table. People were giving him roses, alcohol. They were throwing joints at his feet. He was an author, American myth, rock star, drunk. He shook his cane at me and almost hit me on the behind as he was walking to the table. He smelled of gin. Some young woman was already mopping the sweat off his brow and freshening his drink. When I finally got my chance to meet him, he personalized my book. I think it was because I was a blonde. He kissed me on the cheek. He was a dirty old man. He was a little child in a throng of five blonde assistants.
He is my hero.
Hunter S. Thompson is the father of Gonzo journalists.
His Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is about two guys hopped up on enough acid to trip out most of the country; riding around looking for Horatio Algers American Dream. Thompson wrote, You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye. He wrote about drug use truthfully and with an educated tongue.
Thompsons first book, The Rum Diaries, tells the tale of 22-year-old Thompson taking a job as a newspaper correspondent in Puerto Rico. He writes about the stultifying effect that the weather, constant drinking and lax morals of fellow writers at the paper had on him. It made him feel like he was washed up at 22.
Over time at other news establishments, Thompson honed his own style of Gonzo journalism. The raw feelings of the moment gave rise to his writing.
In Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail 72, there are times when the fallen Nixon is pitiable to Thompson even though he represents everything Thompson loathes. Nixon is seen as a limp, defeated doll.
Thompsons prose was clear and punchy. He loved sports being all-American drinking and shooting. He was a lecher. He loved young blondes and his wives just kept getting younger.
I still feel Thompson was one of the best journalists in existence. He told the truth. He reported on his life weekly for his online column at ESPN.com. He allowed the journalist to become a celebrity. He followed cultural phenomena while becoming one himself
He was more than just a man, writer or a drinker. He was a self-created myth.
Sadly, Thompson represents a dying dream. He practiced journalism in the raw. He did not try to live in an isolated world of celebrities. He raised a fist to the world, his sign for Gonzo journalism. His books will be historical classics of literary journalism, his everlasting raised fist

About Get Maine Lobster
Despite their tendency to end up boiled, Get Maine Lobster's crustaceans somehow managed to keep one customer out of hot water. After waiting until the last minute to plan something for his fiancée's birthday, Emilio put together a next-day delivery of fresh lobsters that turned into an impressive dinner. His gratitude joins a chorus of praise for the company, whose flavorful foods have been featured on Rachael Ray and in the Wall Street Journal. Each of the lobsters is hand-selected from the coast of Maine, whose frigid waters are famous for preserving the meat's sweetness.
In addition to lobsters, patrons can order a menagerie of seafood cakes and hearty side dishes. Full dinners take gourmet fare out of the restaurant and onto home dining tables with several-course feasts prepared by Chef Margaret Salt McLellan, who was named the 2008 Maine Lobster Chef of the Year. Customers that lack Margaret's culinary chops can reference the site's collection of recipes, which boast everything from Cajun shrimp to stuffed lobster bursting with crab, scallops, and emotion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JustSelena from A showstopper! I'm surprised that this dress hasn't sold out after it was restocked online. This dress is amazing - the colors and the print are absolutely beautiful, the cutouts on the back are adorable, and the fit is perfect. For reference, I'm 5'1, 100 lbs, 34B. I got the dress in XXS - it's not too tight and not too short on me (it hits a few inches above the knee). When I wore it to a party with turquoise heels, I got compliments from both men and women - it's a real showstopper!

Rated 5 out of 5 by BebeDiva from Super amazing dress! If Bebe has a great dress in XL i buy it and this is one. I am petite but have a 38DD bust and have to go there for it to fit. In this case the rest of the dress is a bit lose but nothing a little alteration can't fix. This dress is so amazing and different and I like different, well look at it, and it is better in person! So I will say true to size because yahoo it fit my bust LOL and not too lose anywhere else. The colors are amazing, the back is awesome. I love this dres, but I am on the edgy side and love the zebra accent!

Evening Standard
Inspirational: Naima Swaleh's presentations have reduced gang members to tears
Anna Davis
04 December 2012
A woman who used to be homeless and with a history of self-harming told today how Prince Charles's charity transformed her life.
Naima Swaleh, 21, who suffered from depression and made suicide attempts as a teenager, now has a full-time job and works to inspire other young people with her story.
She has been nominated for a Prince's Trust award, which is supported by the Evening Standard, to recognise young people who have turned their lives around against the odds and become role models for teenagers in London.
Ms Swaleh, from Stratford, is now a Young Ambassador for the Prince's Trust, and travels the country helping to raise money and awareness of the charity. She said: "Without the Prince's Trust I would be on the dole somewhere, sitting around sleeping all day. It changed my life in so many ways and gave me so much confidence."
Naima was born in Somalia and moved to Britain at the age of four. Her home life was strict and she began self-harming. At the age of 15 she took an overdose. She became depressed and made a second suicide attempt.
At 16 she ran away from home and ended up sleeping on the streets. At her lowest ebb she almost attempted suicide again, but was persuaded to get in touch with the Prince's Trust by a youth advice service.
She said: "I was feeling very depressed and hopeless. I couldn't see a future for myself. I was sitting there just crying and thought, 'I need to change my life'. " Ms Swaleh enrolled in a personal development course run by the charity which was the turning point she needed. She was so successful she was asked to be an ambassador and the presentations she gives have reduced hardened gang members to tears. Ms Swaleh, who now works in a clothes shop, said: "I don't want people thinking they are the only ones going through something. They can always change their lives.
"I was born in a tent in Somalia. My mum had to do everything for us. I thought I would never be anything."
Dermot Finch, regional director for the Trust in London and the South-East, said: "The Standard shares our ambition to tackle youth unemployment, helping disadvantaged young Londoners into work.
"We are thrilled that the Standard is supporting the Young Ambassador Award at this year's Prince's Trust & Samsung Celebrate Success Awards. All of our incredible finalists prove that it is possible to achieve great things, no matter what background you've had."
The winner will be announced at a ceremony in Southampton today and will go on to a national final.

The RM 200 is a MIPS based workstation series originally developed by Pyramid which got bought out by Siemens-Nixdorf. The RM 200 was being shipped with SINIX or BS2000/MIPS as the OS in big endian mode and for Windows NT in little endian mode.
With a special floppy disk containing firmware it is possibly to reconfigure RM 200 systems from little- to big endian and vice versa. Unfortunately the firmware is copyrighted and Linux/MIPS project neither has a copy of the big endian firmware disk nor the permission to distribute the firmware or any other source.
Little-endian mode
The RM 200 systems use ARC firmware in the little-endian mode.
Big-endian mode
The RM 200 systems use SNI Monitor in the big-endian mode.
Linux Support
No Linux distribution supports the RM 200 out of the box so any installation will require some Linux skills and an additional Linux system to boot the RM 200 from via network. Linux support for the RM200 is available since kernel version 2.1 (requires out of tree patches). Due to a hardware problem for which for a long time no workaround was known Linux 2.2 and 2.3 were unsupported on RM 200; late 2.5 versions fixes these issues. Latest successfully tested version is 2.6.10-rc3 and is considered stable.
Current status about the big endian support could be found here User:Tsbogend
System architecture
There are at least 5 different versions of the RM 200 as indicated by a letter trailing the version number. The C version can be distinguished from older versions by having both EISA and PCI slots on a riser board that sits in the middle of the main board.
RM-200 is based on the A20R Pyramid architecture and very similar to the early RM-400 (without C or E suffix).

Conversations From AIDS 2012: Ron Valdiserri and Terrance Moore on Addressing HIV Disparities Among Black Gay and Bisexual Men
July 30, 2012
In this conversation from AIDS 2012, Dr. Ron Valdiserri, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health, Infectious Diseases and Director of the Office of HIV/AIDS and Infectious Disease Policy at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, speaks with Mr. Terrance Moore, Director of Policy and Health Equity at the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD). They discussed the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS among African American gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men and efforts underway at the national and state levels to address this disparity. They touch on efforts to increase HIV testing among this population, including CDC's new Testing Makes Us Stronger campaign which Mr. Moore advised on, the importance of improving linkage to and retention in care among this population, and the domestic and global struggles to address and reduce stigma which undercuts these efforts.
Watch their brief conversation below. Then, in the Comments section below, share your ideas for improving HIV prevention, care and treatment for Black gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men.
You can also read more on this important topic in our post AIDS 2012: HIV in Gay and Bisexual Men.

The Next Web: "Google has also been working with Samsung to launch a 10-inch tablet, confirming leaks which suggested Google had teamed up with the Korean manufacturer for another device. Our source tells us that internally the tablet goes under the name 'Codename Manta', runs Google's new Android 4.2 operating system (previously referred to as Key Lime Pie, but is set to retain the Jelly Bean branding), and will offer a 2560x1600 pixel (10:16) resolution, which we believe will offer around 300 pixels per inch compared to the new iPad's 264 PPI." Between the iPad and this supposed Android tablet... Poor Surface. Poor, poor Surface.
