An Analysis And Explanation Of Discource English Language Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
A discourse might be a singular word, phrase or paragraph(s) which we use every day. Speakers/writers encode meanings into language and the receiver decodes them. There are no meaningless words. Discourse is an analysis of human power effects in society, in the meaning of macro and micro relationships. Discourse analysis is a reflection on the analysis of power. It is also an analysis of meaning within text or speech, which can be explained by knowledge of the world around us. Additionally, socio - psychological and historical factors have an impact of those written or spoken words. The speaker's meanings depend on an assumption of the knowledge shared by the speaker and the audience.
Secondly, the concept of discourse analysis was developed by French thinker, sociologist and historian: Michael Foucault. His theoretical views focus on different types of power networks which associate with knowledge. Foucaultian theory suggests that people express themselves within boundaries, without limiting creative practice from analysis. Foucault established the "orders of discourse" and "power and knowledge" concepts within the theory of power and ideology. Foucault takes capitalism as a base for his framework from which other systems can be developed. Therefore, behaviour and thought are not understood as systems with ideological concepts. Ideas have a relationship between institutions and objects. Knowledge fits within practices of institutions. Foucault emphasised attention to linguistic details. However, Fairclough stated that this is not necessary and used the lack of attention to linguistic detail as his point of critique against Foucault. Fairclough further developed Foucault's theory on discursive analysis. He made a three-dimensional framework for analysing discourse.
The first dimension is discourse-as-text (e.g. metaphor, cohesion, and text structure. These should be systematically analysed. The usage of passive verb forms in news can be an influencing factor in the agent of political events.) The second dimension relates to discourse-as-discursive-practice, something produced, and then ingested within society. Once the analysis of grammar, vocabulary, and cohesion and text structure is complete, it should then encompass speech acts, intertextuality and coherence. The last dimension is discourse-as-social-practice. This ideological effect involves a hegemonic process which occurs within discourse. It is important as hegemony is a tool related to power, used to achieve a goal for a precise group of people. This contradicts Foucault's view: "The articulation and rearticulation of orders of discourse" as Fairclough claims that this links with a hegemonic struggle. Fairclough constructed an approach to social change on the basis of his third dimension. The constant re-interpretation of discourse explains how a new order for discourse develops, with a resultant on-going conflict with normatively, leading to attempts at control, and struggles against establishment. He understood critical discourse analysis to be a flow of sequences: description progress to interpretation subsequently achieving explanation. I will be applying both theories as this suits my data in order to answer the research question, which is: How Cameron is building up an idea of a stronger/better country in his Party speech on the 8th of October 2009, in Manchester. I have used this research question because I will attempt to discover how the theory of power and knowledge is combined with critical discourse analysis, which will affect the audience. In this way I use a methodological framework of CDA by N. Fairclough and theoretical concepts of power and knowledge as developed by Foucault. Subsequently, coding of data, methodology and analysis would follow. As the speech is long and touching many separate discourses, I have chosen to focus exclusively on: family, community, government and country. These discourses are gradually built into an ideology of country. My analyses are categorised as: generic structure, intertextuality, strategies: referential, evaluative, legitimising.
Below is my interpretation. Methodology is co-operating with my analysis.
In terms of generic structure: The speaker wishes to interact with the audience in order to achieve his goal. He has to make a perfect contribution in order improve his chances of election, and maintain his standing within the party. Discursive genres differ between pre and situated genres.
Intertextuality: I am employing the second dimension of Fairclough, which is about discourse as a discursive practice. Intertextuality is not always clearly visible, for example, in line 9, he refers indirectly to Thatcher. He does not want listeners to think that her years are about to come back, as public opinion is divided about her. This contradicts the statement of a previous Tory leader 'There is no such thing as a society'. This demonstrates that he has changed his party views. He also outlines what Tories could have done differently were they in power. The speaker applies knowledge produced by George Osborne, line 5). He uses the pronoun "I" to construct his relationship with audience. He also refers to his wife and made a very brief statement of the death of his son. Here he uses twice a metaphor, "the world has stopped turning and the clocks have stopped ticking" which refers briefly to his deceased son, but the speech is focusing on trinity key words: family, community, country and those are strongly linked with each other.
"Above all, the importance of family. That fierce sense of loyalty you feel for each other. The unconditional love you give and receive, especially when things go wrong or when you get it wrong. That powerful sense you have when you hold your children and there's nothing, absolutely nothing - you wouldn't do to protect them" This combination of utterances here is interesting as is in the present tense. It is a pattern applying to emotions as every one wants this, and the speaker uses his knowledge to deliver an ideal for the audience. The attribute "loyalty" works in conjunction with the idea of a patriarchal family unit, as the speaker talks about traditional type of family. The last sentence of this section is very important for the discourse of analysis as it suggests the answer to the question set up by me. The speaker constructs his idea of better/stronger country by implying that every citizen has to take responsibility for their own action. This is one of the main points of his speech.
"This is my DNA: family, community, country. These are things I care about. They are what made me. They are what I'm in public service to protect, promote and defend. And I believe they are what we need in Britain today more than ever." The discourse better/stronger country is constructed through the speaker's chosen combination of lexical options such as the physical action verbs: "protect, promote, defend" which also relate with mental processes which describe the discourse: "care, need and believe". This is also a patriotic message.
Further analysis pays attention to the section No 10, titled "FAMILY". This theme is described by the discourse "responsibility". Please see paragraph 2 of this section. "Responsibility starts at home. That why we cannot be neutral on this "The speaker builds an idea of the family with the moral attribute "responsibility". At the same time this is a self discipline, which is exercised at an individual level, and later at a higher level. This is an example of the Foucaultian approach to power and knowledge. Through accepting responsibility an individual can build better community and finally, country. This is an argument with a combination of patterns which appeal to emotions in this section.
Another example of intertextuality within this speech is section number 4. The theme here is "big government". This part was inspired by R. Regan's speech, which referred to government as a problem. From lines 7 to the end the speaker shows his power as leader of the party and offers three possible choices as solutions. This is structurally incorrect as he should have said that we have three options from which we can make one choice - criticism of his grammar. In the last paragraph the speaker uses the pronoun "we" as unity with citizens, who will be co-operating in order to put right the problems of big government and achieve "stronger families, communities, country. All by rebuilding responsibility". Here is a clear relationship with an ordinary citizen.
The big government is seen as a social problem, as the society is broken; neoliberal discourse; every individual is responsible for their success or failure, in terms of (in) competence (Bourdieu, 1997). This is very clearly implied within speech.
He used discourse "government" in the last paragraph, where he says it is up to people to put his vision in place - an indirect warning. Elect me or you will be responsible for the mess we will be in.
Finally, in his conclusion (section 19) I immediately recognised a similarity with the speech of Martin Luther King: 'I had a dream'
Here he presents his vision of how the country can get stronger. It can only be achieved by applying certain indicators to life. Re-build responsibility from the roots, which is family, which builds a strong community, leading to a strong country. A very simple idea presented in a well structured speech.
My last section in terms of methodology is represented by different types of strategies:
Referential strategies: These are used by a speaker to represent participants in a precise context. This relies on building up, and then making a disparity between an in group and an out group. Here, the out group would have specific characteristics given by the in group. Those categories can be achieved by toponymms and ethnonyms. Subsequently, usage of pronouns is significant here as this gives an identity in terms of an in/out group dichotomy. The opposition party will be "their" 17x repeated within the speech "them" 17x while in group identifies with "we" 181x, "us" 16x and "I" 92x. Speaker chose to use those pronouns for a purpose. Using "we and us" is identifies himself with the in group, and has a relationship. By using "them and their" he refers to the out group, usually blaming them. This links with evaluative strategies which are demonstrating a positive representation of an in group and a negative representation of an out group. In this instance the speaker is representing his own group with a positive characteristic because there is a need to address a potential voter. He only can distinguish him/party by focusing on a negative description of an out group. The paragraph titled "big government" provides us with evaluative strategy. Finally, we can talk about legitimising strategies: The aim of using legitimising strategies is to provide the audience with the validity and credibility of the speaker's arguments with a natural conclusion arising from them.
Legitimising strategies are divided into: deontic and epistemic. The first claim needs to represent the source of information as a moral authority. (leader). Epistemic claims are supported by sources and statistics which the speaker believes that the audience will accept. The whole paragraph: Welfare and broken society contain legitimising strategies.
Within the 57minute speech themes relevant to this discourse analysis have been repeated: country 34x, family 19x, community 7x, big government 15x and responsibility 19x, responsibility 10x. The main purpose of it is to maintain the speaker's argument that the country can be better/stronger if he gets elected as the PM.
Within speech the speaker seeks to justify the demand that underlines the activity exchange, relations between family, community within society, which makes a country. He justifies the opposition by rationalization which presents a solution.
The ideology of power is applied in this speech by the fact that the speaker is in a democratic country, has freedom of speech, authority as Party leader and potential candidate for PM Those are drawn within networks on macro level, and again on a micro level, I interpret his authority as a husband and father in a traditional type of family value. The speech had a clear flow of the topics which were related between them. However, it was focused on certain discourses, which by the end produced the idea of the better/ stronger country. That's all of my analysis combined with methodology. Now, I am moving to validation of analysis:
The discourses in my data sample help to understand the coherence of the data by establishing significant discourse which led me to interpret his speech, in a way so I was able to show how he constructs the ideology of the better/stronger country. The focus here was centralised on themes such as family, community, country, by combining those with taking responsibility, which is a pattern from authorities from micro to macro levels.
My data sample offers my individual interpretation. This is a weakness of the method, as there is no guarantee that another person would have chosen the same discourse to analyse. Although, if someone would have chosen those discourses I could have missed important points. Again this is down to the stand point view of the researcher. I have been trying to be neutral in order to not bias my analysis.
In terms of the audience: The audience align themselves by sharing his views, by having a certain background, by common knowledge and experience. This speech was relevant to his colleagues as it was a Party Conference Speech, but also to potential voters and of course the opposition.
Omitted from the speech was any mention of the Lisbon Treaty, which avoided negative opinion from potential voters. He has not said anything on the DNA data base. I could also have analysed their appearance, or applied a speech act theory based on Austin or Searle. I could have applied principle of politeness or co-operative, or I could have chosen a different approach to the discourse analysis. However, I have not done so as this coursework has word limitation. There are variations of types. I have chosen Foucaultian and Fairclough three dimension representation of the discourse analysis, as I have believed that those two would be appropriate for my case.
Finally, applying critical thinking to the speech; the idea of the better/ stronger country was presented on the discourses as this is of current concern to many people. The speaker has had constructed a simply understood speech in order for every one to understand his ideal. It was in a way patriotic, but at the same time was not picking on discourses which would represent ethnic minorities in a bad light, as this could have an effect on the next election. He was proving that he is aware of recent issues within society by referring to ordinary people by name. He also referred to government statistics. Some social practices were stronger because were more significant for that type of speech and the time frame. He kept his argument closely to the internal matters of the country. This is what mostly concerns ordinary people here and now.

His 11 interests
in his own words...
I'm a down to earth person. I enjoy playing sports. I have befriended people from all walks of life. I'm far from superficial. I've learned not to judge people by where they're from. I judge people by what they've accomplished and the way they live their lives. I'm an aviation mechanic. I enjoy working with my hands, but most of all, I love to work. I am thankful for the many things I've been blessed with. Mainly my family. They are my backbone. I'm looking for a woman that has the same principles and more. I'm not a clubber. So if that is what you look forward to doing on the weekends, I am definitely NOT the guy for you. The beach is somewhat my second home. I don't know if it's something in the saltwater, or not. but I just feel like it's a good place to be. I love watching my favorite sports teams play. I rather watch the games from home, though. There's better seating and the bathrooms aren't as packed. I'm pretty good at making people laugh. I think that I've added roughly 300,000 years to different people's lives accumulatively. I'm not searching for a fling. I believe that a true man doesn't pleasure a different woman every night, but rather the same woman for the rest of his life. That was cheesy. But that's just what I believe. Anything else, you want to know, you can ask me.

Lots of activity around Twitter and my life lately. As some of you know, I used Twitter in my graduate course last semester and I think it was a total success.

For seasoned art historian David Silcox, there are two key factors that explain why Canadians remain fascinated with Tom Thomson close to a hundred years after his death.The first and most obvious is the appeal of the work itself. Then there is the painter's life story, which continues to feed the Thomson mystique and public perception of the artist as a doomed genius. Both of these elements are explored in a lively and accessible fashion in Silcox's new e-book, Tom Thomson: Life and Work, published by the Art Canada Institute.
Gustav Klimt's depiction of Adele Bloch-Bauer – the only person he ever painted twice – is now an iconic masterpiece. Over a century later, film director Simon Curtis has re-created the glory of this gilded age with Woman in Gold, screening at the NGC as part of its TIFF Film Circuit program.
Carr's diary — published in 2014 as Sister and I in Alaska — is a charming book that offers readers a glimpse into the humour and talent of a 36-year-old Carr. Believed to have been lost for more than 60 years, the diary was discovered by Canadian author David P. Silcox in 2011.

Beauty and size aside, Impressionism in Canada: A Journey of Rediscovery by A.K. Prakash is an astonishingly comprehensive look at Impressionism, from its early origins in France to its influence on the Group of Seven.
When he heard in 2012 that the notorious Kingston Penitentiary was due to close after 178 years, photographer Geoffrey James approached Jan Allen, Curator of Kingston's Agnes Etherington Art Gallery, about creating a photographic record of the facility. The result was an exhibition and James' recent book, Inside Kingston Penitentiary 1835–2013 — a surprisingly moving pictorial look at Canada's oldest penal institution.
It all began in Killarney, Ontario in 1977. While looking for blueberries at Nellie Lake with their children, well-known Canadian art patrons Jim and Sue Waddington came across the scene that inspired A.Y. Jackson's painting Hills, Killarney, Ontario (Nellie Lake) (c. 1933). They didn't know it at the time, but the find marked the start of a 36-year quest to locate and photograph the landscapes in paintings by the Group of Seven.
Sarah Thornton's last book, Seven Days in the Art World was a lively read, full of insights about a world that values insider perspectives. With 33 Artists in 3 Acts, she shifts focus, and gives readers a more reflective view of the artist, who is this time the sole protagonist.

For Parents
What is your youth doing the summer of 2014? If your answer is staying at home, think again. This August, Arrowmen, Scouts, and Venturers will converge on Mt. Rainier National Park and the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest for an unforgettable week of service and fellowship. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will allow your son or daughter to meet passionate and committed people from around the nation and pay it forward to one of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic landmarks.
Hosted by T'Kope Kwiskwis Lodge of the Order of the Arrow, ArrowCorps2014 is an experience like no other. Based at Camp Sheppard, trail crews will complete a variety of trail projects under the direction of land management personnel and skilled youth and adult leaders. Participants will have the chance to practice expedition leadership, trail skills, and wilderness ethics while immersing themselves in the story of our national public lands. In an expedition setting, crew members gain self-confidence and outdoor skills, all the while learning lessons they can take back home. As a result, they come back better prepared to lead themselves and others in their families, schools, and communities. They become more active, engaged members of their lodges, their chapters, and their units. This exciting opportunity is open to all Arrowmen, Boy Scouts, and Venturers meeting criteria for participation in high adventure activities.
Project organizers are committed to providing a safe and positive environment for participants. To better understand the ArrowCorps2014 program, take a look around this site and learn about the amazing opportunities available to ArrowCorps2014 participants. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
We'll see YOUR son or daughter on the Mountain this summer!

By JOHN CORRY
Published: August 7, 1986
''THE HAMMER AND THE CROSS,'' a four-part series, examines the conflict between Christianity and Communism, two of this century's great antagonistic forces. The first episode suggests, however, that the conflict isn't really a conflict; it's a search for mutual accommodation. Anyone who thinks otherwise, apparently, is benighted. The series begins on Channel 13 at 10 o'clock tonight.
In fact, the battle between Christianity and Communism is deeply rooted. Marx had no use for either Christianity or Judaism; Lenin wrote that ''there can be nothing more abominable than religion.'' The BBC series, meanwhile, shows no understanding of either side.
Thus tonight's episode, ''From Russia to Nicaragua,'' concludes with a solemn peroration: Nicaragua's Roman Catholics are at a golden moment in history. The church, it insists, ''is in a unique position - in the vanguard of a Marxist revolution.'' This is a series that allows neither facts nor experience to contradict it.
As it happens, Nicaragua's 10 Catholic bishops charged last April that the church was being silenced, and that ''all news of the aggression it suffers'' was censored. The bishops also denounced the pro-Sandinista People's Church. They said its priests and lay workers, not all of them Nicaraguans, manipulated theology in favor of politics.
The bishops may have had television programs like ''From Russia to Nicaragua'' in mind, especially in the accusation that news of ''aggression'' was censored. In the spirit of fairness, the program does say that a church radio station was silenced, but clearly that's not important. The sense of the program, as expressed by a priest from the People's Church, is that Communism and Christianity can do more than just coexist; they can complement one another.
But in real life they do not do this; they never have, and recently the battle between the church and the Nicaraguan Government has grown. Two Catholic bishops were expelled from Nicaragua. At the same time, Moravian missionary stations were burned to the ground. ''From Russia to Nicaragua'' opens by saying there is an ''apparent'' conflict between Christianity and Communism; one wonders what world it lives in.
The program, in its way, is a time capsule, expressing a view favored by 1930's intellectuals: Communism, despite a historical record to the contrary, is really applied Christianity. The apostles and the Sandinistas sit in the same pew. Tomas Borge, the Nicaraguan Minister of the Interior, ''upholds the moral principles of Christianity.'' Indeed, how could he not? In Nicaragua, ''present-day politics and the Christian faith are inseparable.''
What is ''The Hammer and the Cross'' really about? Judged by the first episode, there's not much in it about the hammer; there's even less about the cross. On the other hand, there is something about contemporary politics: contras, supported by the United States, and, apparently, the Catholic bishops, wage a war of aggression; Nicaragua, inspired by the People's Church, should be left alone.
That's a fair commentary, but the program is being highly selective to reach it. It shows, for example, what purports to be a Christian commune. Its members testify for the Sandinistas. They are ''happier and more free than before.'' The revolution has given them ''a patch to live on.'' The documentary says the contras have killed ''some 8,000 people,'' most of them under the age of 21.
There is no indication, of course, that the contras are also Nicaraguans; there is no hint that most of the rank and file of the contras also professes to be Christians. Meanwhile, we see a brief glimpse of Pope John Paul II addressing a crowd during his visit to Nicaragua. Suddenly, a section of the crowd, simultaneously seized by the same impulse, shouts, ''We want peace.'' Has the BBC ever heard of a claque?
''From Russia to Nicaragua'' also manages to misrepresent the position of the Nicaraguan bishops. Whatever their failures, they do not applaud death and killing. The BBC report -produced by John Paul Davidson and David Thompson - walks a thin line here. By finding nothing positive in the bishops' actions, it suggests they are only handmaidens to reaction.
They're more than that; the bishops have denounced ''fratricidal war'' and asked the Sandinistas to negotiate with the contras. ''The Hammer and the Cross,'' which, on successive Thursday nights, will also examine Christianity in Poland, Cuba and Ethiopia, has an unrealistic view of the world.

When you assume payments for a loan on a tractor-trailer, you are essentially getting a deal on the vehicle and the loan. If someone gets a loan to buy a tractor-trailer but for some reason that owner can't maintain the payments, then one option is to get someone else to take over the payments. This person becomes the new owner, and the lending institution still gets reimbursed.
Find someone who has a loan on a tractor-trailer and is seeking someone to assume payments. You can either contact the owner personally, or you can go to a lending institution and ask if there are any tractor-trailers available that meet your qualifications. You need permission from both the lender and the current owner to assume the payments.
Pass a credit check. The lender will inspect your credit report to make sure that you can make the payments on the tractor-trailer. If you don't meet the company's requirements, then you won't be allowed to assume payments.
Review the terms of the payments and the loan agreement. You are agreeing to the terms just as the previous owner did when the papers originally were signed. If the terms are agreed upon, sign the contract to assume the payments on the tractor-trailer.

Hi all,
First a bit of background. The has been a very small but long standing memory leak in player where we cant properly free message queues because a message on a driver queue may have a reference to it still. A solution to this is to make the queues into autopointers that have reference counting built in. A patch doing this has just been applied to CVS head.
The reason that this memory leak has been around for so long is that it is small and infrequent (on unsubscribe) and also that there is no good way to fix it without some small change to some critical API calls. Specifcially ProcessMessage and Publish. There are no changes to the client API for this patch, but every driver in CVS has been updated (hopefully) and any drivers outside of CVS will need to be updated.

Kathmandu, Nov 27 (UNI) Nepalese Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal today condemned the terrorist attacks in Mumbai that killed more than 100 people.
In a message of condolence sent to his counterpart Dr Manmohan singh, Mr Dahal said he was profoundly shocked at the unprecedented and brutal terrorist attacks in multiple places in Mumbai.
''These attacks, directed against innocent people and to terrorise the industrial and commercial centre of India, deserve unequivocal condemnation from all over the world,'' Mr Dahal said in his message.
The Prime Minister said the government and people of Nepal unreservedly deplored in strongest terms the cowardly terrorist attacks.

Did affordable housing goals for Fannie and Freddie play any role in the subprime crisis?
In 1992 Congress established the "affordable housing goals," which were numerical targets for the share of Fannie- and Freddie-backed lending that went to low-income and minority borrowers. For years conservative analysts have falsely pointed to these goals as a catalyst for the housing crisis, claiming they pushed Fannie and Freddie to take on unprecedented levels of risk, creating a bubble and a bust in the subprime housing market that sparked the financial catastrophe.
That's simply not true. A recent study from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis found that the affordable housing goals had no observable impact on the volume, price, or default rates of subprime loans during the crisis, even after controlling for the loan size, loan type, borrower characteristics, and other factors. Federal Reserve Economist Neil Bhutta reached a similar conclusion in 2009, finding that the affordable housing goals had a negligible effect on Fannie and Freddie lending during the housing bubble.
That shouldn't come as a surprise. Fannie and Freddie did not securitize any loans that met the industry definition of "subprime," and the loans in their riskier securities—commonly identified as "subprime-like" or "subprime equivalent"—experienced delinquency rates that mirrored the prime market. The Alt-A loans that drove their losses were typically made to higher-income households and thus did not qualify for the affordable housing goals. While Fannie and Freddie did hold some subprime mortgage-backed securities in their investment portfolios—many of which qualified for the affordable housing goals—these investments lagged behind the rest of the market and made up only a tiny fraction of total subprime lending during the housing bubble.
As Americans Struggle to Climb Economic Ladder, Corker-Warner GSE Reform Effort Falls Badly Short
John Taylor, President and CEO of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition
This is a perilous time for opportunity in America. The housing crisis, which stemmed from a terrible confluence of malfeasant lending, Wall Street machinations, and regulatory negligence, has wiped out an enormous amount of community wealth. Millions have lost their homes, and millions more have been badly set back because of that crisis. And now our leaders' commitment to homeownership as an essential engine of economic mobility and opportunity for working people, and affordable housing at large, appears to be wavering. It is absolutely critical that our policymakers and leaders do not take the wrong lesson from this disastrous period in American finance. One persistent problem is that the housing crisis, which originated on Wall Street, continues to be wrongly blamed on Main Street, and poor people in particular. A series of ugly myths underlie that notion.
One of those ugly myths is that the affordable housing goals at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac played a role in the housing crisis. The affordable housing goals require the GSEs to dedicate a certain percentage of their business to loans that support homeownership and rental housing for working class families. Some will try to tell you that those goals drove Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make bad purchases. This is plainly and demonstrably false. The truth is, controlling for risk characteristics, there is zero difference in performance between loans that meet the GSE affordable housing goals, and other loans in the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac portfolios. That means that those who might try to tell you that affordable housing goals caused the crisis, or even played a role, are flat out lying. The truth is that the affordable housing goals play a valuable role in ensuring that the market serves creditworthy low-and moderate-income, rural, and minority borrowers with conventional loans.
And yet, the legislative high water mark for GSE reform thus far, the Corker-Warner GSE reform bill, contains no affirmative obligation to create access for creditworthy low- and moderate-income, rural or minority families to conventional home loans. The bill jettisons the notion that the secondary market system should be there to help serve those families. In doing so, it tacitly bows to these falsehoods about the GSE affordable housing goals. It would take the bad premise that the affordable housing goals caused the crisis and essentially codify it in law. And law based on myth is bad law.
The affordable housing goals generated $267 billion in affordable loans in 2012. In 2011, they generated $196 billion. In the Corker-Warner bill, the goals are eliminated right away, and nothing is put in their place to create an affirmative obligation for the market to serve a broad set of qualified borrowers.
The bill does provide some funding for affordable housing by assessing a fee on securitizations, but it contains no obligation on the part of the market to serve populations it has historically unfairly ignored. Even the funding mechanism it does include, which allocates the fees collected to the National Housing Trust Fund, the Capital Magnet Fund, and a Market Access Fund, has fatal flaws in the Corker-Warner bill. First of all, in 2011, the fees would have produced only $456 million at a minimum, and only $913 million at a maximum. Even more troubling, in the first five years after enactment of the bill, the fees do not have to be collected at all. In order to allow the funds to build up, the money generated by the fees might not be disbursed for another five years after that. That means there is a potential for ten years to go by without any public benefit at all. That alone should make the bill completely unacceptable.
There are many other deep flaws to the bill, including creating an arbitrary and unnecessary 5% downpayment requirement and 43% debt-to-income ratio limit for a mortgage to be eligible for a guarantee. These requirements would needlessly cut out a broad group of qualified borrowers.
Lawmakers and others need to understand that that endorsing this bill in its current form is endorsing a deterioration of opportunity. The fact that Corker-Warner has any traction at all is deeply troubling. Congress needs to do much better in charting out the future of mortgage finance in the United States. Throwing out our societal commitment to affordable housing and homeownership opportunities for responsible borrowers would be a grave mistake.

Space.app is a virtual workspaces utility for Mac OS X.
Released the source to 0.85 as well as 2 binary formats. One is a Disk Image and the other is a PackageMaker format.
New Dock Icon in this release as well as code cleanup in preparation for the upcoming 10.3 release.
Was tested and compiled under Panther. Should work under Jaguar as well.
Space.app is a virtual workspaces utility for Mac OS X.
I am please to announce the long-awaited sequel to Space.dock.
The new version abandons the dockling format in favor of Application Dock Menus and a floating palette. The user interface will be familiar to those who have used older versions of Space.app. The newest feature is global hotkeys: You can now set custom hot keys and use them to navigate between workspaces.
The first release of Space.app for Mac OS X retail
includes a reworking of the interface: gone is the
button box, here is the dockling.
Last night I uploaded the freshest binaries and a tarball of my Project Builder files, updating Versiontracker, Softrak and so on.
I chose not to use a CVS archive because the sourceforge CVS server does not support cvswrappers which allow directories of files (e.g. nibs) to be treated as atomic by CVS. Hopefully, as more MOSXS open source development ramps up, the good folks at sourceforge will see to it that their servers are updated to support cvswrappers.
I've added a task for screenshot thumbnails, easily the most popular request, and created a "beta" bug list for all of the bug reports and feature requests to be handled before Space.app 1.0.
I went through fifty response emails I have received and logged
the recurring feature request and bug reports.
The binaries for version 0.5 are now available here:
The source release will follow shortly.

Question: My atheist teacher said that the Muslim God is taken from the Jews. Is this true?
There are so many problems with this teacher's assessment of God and religion that it is difficult to know where to start. First and foremost it must be stated that there is only one God, regardless of the plethora of concepts of this supreme being. Many atheist scholars have expressed this notion, that the concept of God has somewhat evolved over time and religions have copied and then refined their new concept of the divine from what was available to them previously.
Islam is a religion that actually accepts the continuity of religion. Islam accepts the previous prophets, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, as being divine prophets who tried extensively to help mankind better their relationship with God.
Therefore, Islam holds that there was always one religion and, of course, one God. This religion started with the first human and the first prophet Adam and continued down the line of prophets. Hence, Judaism is accepted as an authentic religion in Islam, before it was distorted. Likewise, Christianity is accepted as an authentic religion in Islam, before it was distorted. But, due to changes in the conditions of mankind and distortions to these monotheistic religions after the deaths of their prophets, a new religion was mandated. The final religion that God blessed mankind with is Islam.
Without getting too deep: Yes, the God of Jews and the God of Muslims is the same being. The authentic Jewish concept of God (before distortion) is the same and the Islamic concept of God. But, there main difference between the atheist professor and the Islamic position is the origin of these similarities. The teacher would assume that the similarities stem from the new religious followers' proximity to the former religion, whereas the Islamic position states that the similarities stem from the teachings of the prophets who were sent by God himself.

By Dimitra DeFotis
Shares of Alibaba Group Holdings (BABA) fell 4.3% this week, while the iShares China Large Cap exchange-traded fund (FXI) slipped 1.7% as investors shed risk.
But that sentiment seems implausible: the Chinese internet retail giant reported robust quarterly results and bullish analysts see big upside: Citigroup reiterated its case for 25% appreciation, Raymond James sees 25% upside and J.P. Morgan sees 40% upside.
But here are three reasons why the stock faced pressure this week:
1) A New York Post story. An anonymously sourced article reminded everyone of the SEC investigation into Alibaba accounting alongside an anonymous claim that an insider is aiding the SEC. Undaunted, Joseph C. Tsai, executive vice chairman at Alibaba, and CEO Daniel Yong Zhang, pointed to significant growth opportunities (see our post, 3 Reasons Why Alibaba Earnings Beat Expectations). Tsai had the following to say about the Post story on the SEC investigation:
"As you know, we've been in the process of –with the SEC, they've sent us a letter inquiring as to a number of issues. On this, we've been very transparent with you guys about what's going on. We disclosed all the issues involved and the fact that we're voluntarily cooperating with the SEC in their inquiry. We don't think there's any factual basis to the New York Post story. So on that score, when we have real news we will update everyone. I just want to say I'm not surprised that in days leading up to Singles Day our detractors will want to divert people's attention but we're not going to be distracted …"
2) The stock is up 20% this year and reflects growth prospects. The Wall Street Journal's Heard on the Street said: "Subtract the $45 billion from Alibaba's market cap, along with $15.5 billion of cash, and the company is trading at 38 times GAAP net profit estimates … meaning growth potential is priced into Alibaba shares."
3) Short sellers won't quit: In a recent CNBC video, hedge fund manager and Alibaba bear Jim Chanos compared Alibaba to Amazon.com (AMZN), while bullish trader John Najarian compared Alibaba's "ecosystem" to that of Apple (AAPL). Chanos said: "This is an accounting story. You have all these [Alibaba] delivery companies and warehouse companies that are actually getting the product … to my house in China … [from a warehouse]. You don't see any of that. You see a line item, 'equity and net income of affiliates.' But there is no idea, with the 2 million employees, of what those costs are, what the accounting is there. What we do know is Alibaba is putting capital into those companies. Our suspicion is, they are funding the operating losses … Let's look at the pattern here. … Yahoo (YHOO) woke up one day and found out Ant Financial Alipay was taken from them … Alibaba said it was regulatory … The burden of proof should be on the bulls … when there is poor corporate governance … [Alibaba] burned through $20 billion in cash last year … the money is going into things you don't see. Why don't you see them? …"
