Campaign surrogates say Obama has crucial task in second debate
By Tom Curry, NBC national affairs writer
Previewing Tuesday night's debate between President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney, Democratic Mayor Kasim Reed of Atlanta said on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday that Obama must "step up" in his confrontation with Romney.
David Gregory analyzes this morning's Meet the Press including interviews with Stephen Colbert and a special conversation about the impact of the debates.
In the first debate between the two candidates on Oct. 3 – widely viewed as a major victory for Romney – Reed said, "It took the stench of defeat to free Mitt Romney from the Far Right of the Republican Party; he got to move away because he was in such a desperate position that he got to say whatever he wanted to say."
In their second meeting, Reed said, Obama must "stand up and every time sharply address him and not let him get away with" any evasions or any camouflaging of his positions.
Another prominent Democrat, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, said Romney is "a good pitchman, for sure. And that's why in the second debate, I think it's going to be interesting to see how that plays out because he can sell something; that's sort of what he's been doing. But the reality is: Who is this man and what's really behind the facade?"
Granholm compared Romney to "a Trojan horse coming in to occupy the city of (Washington) D.C., but inside the Trojan horse are trickle-down generals and neo-cons, the same people who wrote the Bush plan."
But Republican campaign strategist Alex Castellanos said, "Something big happened in that first debate that was beyond President Obama not showing up. And that was that President Obama hasn't really been trying to get elected again, he's been trying to stop Mitt Romney from getting elected."
President Obama took a break from debate camp to serve lunch to volunteers in Williamsburg, while Mitt Romney prepped in Boston. The town hall style debate is scheduled for Tuesday. NBC's Kristen Welker reports.
That strategy failed in the first debate, Castellanos argued, because Romney didn't resemble the portrait of him that Obama and his campaign had been attempting to paint, but instead was "a reasonable, practical problem-solver."
Castellanos contended that "Barack Obama now has no campaign for the future" and no argument for "why he's indispensably needed. Now his campaign against Mitt Romney has cracked -- this is man with two empty holsters."
Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia, the chairman of the Republican Governors Association said on Meet the Press that Romney's upward movement in recent polling to either tie Obama in some battleground states, or even surpass him, reflected not merely Romney's strong performance in the first debate but "a sharp contrast between the vision of Mitt Romney and the record of Barack Obama. It was the first time that 60 million Americans live got to see the two and another 60 million or so through social media got to see them."
McDonnell said Romney's momentum in recent polling "is a sustainable trend."
But Granholm argued that Romney's momentum will be slowed "not just by the president's performance in the second debate, but by the economic numbers that are coming out that demonstrate that there has been clear progress. When we've got the lowest unemployment rate (at 7.8 percent last month) since the president took office and you've got a huge boost in consumer confidence, the highest in five year, highest housing starts in five years, lowest foreclosure rate in five years, the number of jobs that have been created – I think that will seep in."
McDonnell argued that the Obama campaign had been trying to divert voters' attention from the still sluggish economy by pointing to secondary issues, such as Romney's opposition to taxpayer funding for the Public Broadcasting System – epitomized by his comment in the first debate that, "I like PBS, I love Big Bird.... But I'm not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for."
McDonnell said, "The top issue facing the country isn't Bain Capital, it isn't Mitt Romney's tax returns, it isn't Big Bird – it's how to do we get the greatest country on earth … out of debt and back to work."

Much of the biological investigation of the past can be described as a compilation and categorization of the list of parts, whether as the delineation of genomic sequences, genes, proteins, or species. The past decade for example has uncovered the genetic basis for many diseases. A remaining and larger challenge is to provide an understanding of how the interactions of these biological entities across spatial and temporal scales lead to observable behavior and function. This is what systems biology is concerned with. Two important organizing principles need emphasis: (1) An integrated understanding of systems requires mathematics and the development of theory, supplemented by simulations; and (2) Theory cannot be relevant if it is not driven and inspired by experimental data. Thus the development of system biology requires collaborative work by theoreticians and experimentalists.
The goal of systems physiology is to understand how various human organs and tissues are organized and regulated to produce their normal function and pathologies. This year at the MBI will examine features of several human organ and tissue systems, including the cardiac system, the respiratory system, the microcirculatory system, the renal system, the visual processing system, the endocrine system, and the auditory system. Although these are at first glance quite different, the underlying theme is how cellular level behavior participates in the function of the whole and how feedback from the function of the whole contributes to the regulation of the cellular level behavior. Understanding of these processes may lead to new insights into the causes of diseases and how they can be treated.

Word on the street is that Wired's Nextfest showcased a bunch of note-worthy projects, such as this Portable Light by University of Michigan and Kennedy & Violich Architecture.
The PortableLight is a series of prototypes that integrate flexible solar cells and super bright LEDs into lighting solutions for the billions of people in developing countries who do not have access to electric power or light. Although designed specifically for the "developing world" these designs will likely be useful in the first world as well, where there is a growing need to come up with energy efficient alternatives to the centralized and costly electrical grid.
The high brightness LEDs (hBLEDs) incorporated into the Portable Light are bright enough to read, work and illuminate area at night. The long term goal is to integrate the technology directly into textiles. For the time being, however, the Portable Light project has done a fabulous job of incorporating off-the-shelf components into functional designs.
According to the project's website, these Mexican Huichol villagers from the Sierra Madre were some of the first to beta-test these portable lights. They've since become big fans. There is no electricity in the mountainous area in which they live, but the portable lights have allowed them to work later into the evening and become less reliant on daylight. To learn more about the project, peruse the website (be patient, because the user interface isn't exactly intuitive).

When asked 'What do you think you have brought to art?' Dali replied unambiguously: 'To art, nothing. Absolutely nothing. As I have always said, I'm a very bad painter. I'm too intelligent to be a good painter.
And it's true that Dali was not a great painter, but the magnificently moustachioed Catalan is as charmingly perverse today as he has always been. Some of his pieces (particularly those of his last decades) are less successful with hindsight, but their scatological motifs and provocative titles still continue to entice with their ferocious humour.
The entrance to the exhibition is dominated by a giant egg, within which Dali is curled in the foetal position: a reminder that fantasy here is on tap. Once inside, visitors are confronted by the sliced eyeball of 'Un Chien Andalou', the short film that Dali co-directed with Luis Bunuel – making one woman turn away, saying 'I think I'm going to be sick'. Happily, it seems that even after several decades, Dali still has the power to shock.
The exhibition is laid out in a large U-shape where the different periods of the his work succeed each other more or less chronologically. His story is well known: after an unremarkable Cubist beginning, Dali exploded onto centre stage in the Surrealist movement, where he produced his most corrosive works.
Among these, the most interesting are not the most famous large paintings, but his dreamy miniatures, where meticulous brushwork jostles with the paradoxical feeling of growth, squeezed into a frame that's barely a few centimetres square. In the best cases, Dali's trompe-l'oeils are sort of visual word game, forcefully exploring the indeterminateness of meaning and the plurality of interpretations, breaking up of habitual methods of interpretation.
The exhibition conceals nothing in Dali's polymorphous nature, intelligently illustrating his journey from dreamlike figurative art to an approach that was more contemporary, conceptual and theatrical. And while he is presented in his different guises, taken altogether the whole offers us a profound coherence in Dali's constant humour. Many artists have proclaimed that 'art is life'; far rarer are those who have absorbed the idea and turned it into an immense masquerade, with jubilant megalomania and imperious capriciousness. Dali's life was a masked ball that lasted nearly a century, behind his unforgettable moustache.

Things Best Left Unsaid -- Writing Subtext
15 comments:
- Adaddinsane said...
It's always nice when people see things the same way.
In that blog I reference "The Off Screen Movie" by Rossio and Elliott:
And today's verification word is "broph" - the sound a broom makes moving from carpet to lino.
- Jon Magram said...
Hey Brian, great post. Subtext has always been one of the hardest concepts for me to grasp and this helps.
It seems like what you're saying is that subtext is entirely dependent on context. Unless the audience already has an understanding of who the characters are and what they are going through, subtext won't have an impact.
Would you say that's a correct simplification of your point?
- Tara Maya said...
A timely reminder that not everything needs to be spelled out.
- ERIK said...
William Goldman: "If there's no subtext, there's nothing happening."
I've had that phrase knocking around in my head day and night for two solid years now and it still isn't getting any easier.
Subtext is one of the hardest skills I've come up against in my dogged pursuit of the craft. Harder than anything else except probably theme/armature.
The theme & subtext: the smallest skills are as hard to master as the grandest.
- Brian McD said...
Hey Jon,
I think all of storytelling is about context. Act one is all about providing context for what is to follow.
In Raider of the Lost Ark when Indiana Jones sees the pit of snakes and says, "Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?", we have a context for that because we find out in act one that he hates snakes. Context is everything.
I think your simplification is a great way to start thinking about subtext. Over time and with practice you will have a more nuanced understanding. But that just takes time. It will not happen overnight. But it will happen.
- Brian McD said...
Hello Tara,
I have found that "not spelling things out" can be a tricky why to think of things. It often makes writers unclear. Then later when people don't 'get it' the writer can always say, "I don't like to spill things out". But in all honesty they may just be a poor communicator.
In fact, I think one should spell things out for the audience. You spell it out, but you let them read it for themselves. You make them think that what they are thinking is their idea.
Billy Wilder said, (by way of Ernst Lubitsch) "Let the audience add up two plus two. They'll love you forever."
The trick is to make sure you give them to plus two. You, as the storyteller, have to know what the answer is and you must give the audience everything they need to reach that answer without expressly giving it to them. It's a balancing act.
- Brian McD said...
Hey Erik,
Subtext is hard. It took me years of actively trying to learn it before I felt like I was okay at it. Directing helps because working with actors teaches you to see what underneath the spoken words. Much of what actors do is express the subtext.
Good actors will sometimes "play opposites". Meaning that they might laugh in a sad scene or viscera. It can add real depth to a scene.
They even have exercises like "I do say, I don't say" where they practice by reading the lines on the page. For instance the line might read: "Have a great trip". So they would say: "I do say, have a nice trip."
Then the actor says what the subtext for that might be by saying: "I don't say, I love you".
When you write characters it helps to know what people are really feeling and really thinking. You can do a version of "I do say, I don't say" as you write.
This will help a lot. But really all you have to do is set in your mind that you want to be better at subtext and little by little you will get better. It will just be in your mind more when you write and you will make different choices.
- Brian McD said...
Hey Adaddinsane,
Thanks for the comments and the links.
I really like your example of simply shifting the scenes around. Also, the "I do say, I don't say" is a great way of looking at it.
This is one of the best explanations of subtext that I've seen. And what you said about not spelling thigns out leading to poor communication...been there and done that. :)
Thank you!
- Brian McD said...
Hey Elise,
Glad I could help give you another way to think about subtext. Thanks for letting me know.
- imyjimmy said...
Another example of subtext is in It's a Wonderful Life, where George Bailey and Mary are by the phone listening to Hee Haw Sam.
After Sam makes his business pitch over the phone George Bailey grabs Mary and tells her he doesn't want to marry anybody, even though the girl he wants to marry is right in his arms.
That whole scene is amazing. I wonder if it was written out in the screenplay, or acted out by amazing actors, or both.
- Brian McD said...
Hey Jimmy,
That is a really great example. In fact, I almost included it in the post.
It is really amazingly written scene. That whole film is perfectly written.
Good eye, Jimmy.
- imyjimmy said...
The one thing I'm not sure on is how that scene might advance the armature, how does Capra get the subtext to do what he wants.
I do have one clue, which is George Bailey seems to get in a lot of trouble with his own words--he says things he regrets later: "I'll lasso the moon" or "I wanna build bridges a mile long, skyscrapers a mile high"
Of course he never gets to do those things. Now he says, "I don't wanna get married" But of course he gets married.
Right before that he says he doesn't want plastics and ground floors. He wants to do the things he wants to do.
Not sure how it helps the armature though.
- Brian McD said...
Hey Jimmy,
Here's that scene from It's a Wonderful Life so that other people can see it:
As for how it advances the armature I have to let you struggle with that. I want you to learn to see that stuff.
I also didn't mention sexual innuendo. There used to be a code in place that meant that filmmakers could not speak openly about sex – they had to talk around the subject in creative ways. That accounts for so much of the clever banter of the 30's and the 40's.
- ERIK said...
That scene in It's a Wonderful Life is incredible.
In the spirit of favorite-izing, I guess I'd have to say my favorite piece of subtext is from Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, when Etta Place decides that she's going to leave them (this is where I'd insert the URL if I could find one). The scene is entirely dependent on her earlier statement that she'll go to Bolivia with them and do whatever they ask her to do, except watch them die. Once she decides to leave again we know exactly what's about to happen, and Butch and Sundance's jokes and bravado suddenly have a completely different feeling to them.
I think this is exactly the "give them 2+2" that you've quoted Wilder & Lubitsch as saying.
I'll give the 'I do/don't say" exercise a go, next time I working on dialogue.
Thanks man!

Why did crime in New York drop so suddenly in the mid-'90s? How does an unknown novelist end up a bestselling author? Why is teenage smoking out of control, when everyone knows smoking kills? What makes TV shows like Sesame Street so good at teaching kids how to read? Why did Paul Revere succeed with his famous warning?
Malcolm Gladwell, a staff writer for The New Yorker, has been studying trends like these for years and has written several articles for the magazine that have developed into his new book, The Tipping Point. According to Gladwell, the Tipping Point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a sick individual in a crowded store can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push start a fashion trend or cause the popularity of a new restaurant to take off overnight or cause crime or drug use to taper off. In The Tipping Point, Gladwell shows how very minor adjustments in products and ideas can make them more likely to become immensely popular. He reveals how easy it is to cause group behavior to tip in a desirable direction by making small changes in our immediate environment.
Gladwell introduces us to the particular personality types that are natural pollinators of new ideas and trends, the people who create the phenomenon of word of mouth. He analyzes fashion trends, smoking, children's television, direct mail, and the early days of the American Revolution for clues about making ideas infectious. He also visits a religiouscommune,a successful high-tech company, and one of the world's greatest salesmen to show how to start and sustain social epidemics.
This is a book that should be read by everyone in business, politics, marketing and advertising, as well as by anyone interested in trends, fashion, fads, policy making, and human behavior. In other words, all of us. (Emily Burg)

Posts Taggedecho sign
It's 2012, and almost everything that we work with has turned digital. However, sometimes this creates bigger problems than its worth – such as signing documents. Taking pen to paper for a couple of seconds used to be something terribly easy. This allowed you to manage and sign everything you wanted quickly and simply, though getting the document to and from the sender took far longer.
Today, you can get a form digitally sent to you in seconds, but you'll often have to print it out, sign it, scan it, then email or perhaps fax it back. It's far from a simple process. That's why Adobe's EchoSign, an effortless and pain free method to e-sign documents professionally and securely, seems so exciting. We didn't assume it'd work great, but came away very impressed by its actual implementation. Read on to find out more!

I customer base is a very sophisticated group comprised of mostly realtors, mortgage brokers and title companies and small to midsize businesses. These are business owners that are to busy to followup with clients and give them the attention they deserve.
We want to continue to grow into the midsize company space and expand outside of the realty market and into the medical, dental finance and insurance sectors.
We require a logo for contact valet that can be used across all media formats. We would like the logo to be corporate in base with a artistic edgy overtone.
We would also like to see some creative work with the V in valet maybe have it look like a person. I like the Chase bank logo, I also like a logo I saw for corporate connect.

Kansas City, KS — A new study shows that exercise may help slow brain shrinkage in people with early Alzheimer's disease. In the study, people with early Alzheimer's who were less physically fit had four times more brain shrinkage than normal older adults.
One of the authors of the study, published last month in the journal Neurology, is Jeffrey Burns, who directs the Alzheimer and Memory Program at the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City, KS. While brains shrink with normal aging, the rate is doubled in people with Alzheimer's disease, Burns says.
The study included 57 people over the age of 60 in the early stages of Alzheimer's. The participants' physical fitness was assessed by measuring peak oxygen demand while on a treadmill. Brain shrinkage was estimated by MRI scans.
The study also showed that participants who were more physically fit did not do significantly better on tests for mental performance. Burns says the study may have had too few patients to show an effect in the analysis. He adds that the work is only a starting point for exploring whether exercise and physical fitness can slow the progression of Alzheimer's and that the study cannot prove an effect because the participants were evaluated only once rather than repeatedly over time.
According to previous studies and the AARP, exercise can help the brain in a number of ways, including improving concentration and attention, reducing gray-matter loss, promoting neurogenesis, enhancing blood flow and strengthening synapses.

The Power of Local Action for Sustainable Development: Lessons from 10 Years of the Equator Prize
The Equator Initiative brings together the United Nations, governments, civil society, businesses and grassroots organizations to recognize and advance local sustainable development solutions for people, nature and resilient communities. Since 2002, the Equator Prize has been awarded to 127 outstanding local efforts to reduce poverty through the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. To mark its 10-year anniversary, the Equator Initiative has developed detailed case studies on all 127 winning communities. With the goal of elucidating lessons learned on the ingredients of successful community-based action in environment and development, this publication provides a comprehensive review and analysis of these case studies, identifies trends and lessons learned on local best practice, and provides structured guidance for advancing community innovation in the future. Links to full case material are provided throughout.
The publication is structured around key lessons which concern: prioritizing the social strand of sustainable development; environment as a platform for community-driven development; local organizations as delivery mechanisms for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); the fusion of modern and traditional knowledge, institutions, and management approaches; the importance of communications and networks in behavior change; the centrality of land tenure security and resource rights; the delivery of good governance at the local scale; the potential for scaling; the potential and imperative of scaling-up success; and the importance of partnerships.

Mayor Don Wesely today announced that the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department will fund four new efforts with the local portion of the national tobacco settlement, which will provide about $608,500 per year for the next two years.
"Through these funds, public health efforts will continue to reach all individuals with personal and environmental health needs," said Mayor Wesely. "The tobacco settlement funds will be available for 25 years with the expectation that local health departments show measurable and positive results. I believe these new programs will improve the health of our community."
Of the total, $150,000 must be used to build public health infrastructure to make sure the essential public health core functions are fulfilled. The infrastructure includes health status assessment, public health policy development, and ensuring that public health services are delivered to all populations.
The remaining $458,500 will be used to create new programs or opportunities to improve the health of Lincoln and Lancaster County residents:

Ski Lodge Aigle Reviews
We have just returned from a week stay in Chalet Aigle and it was fabulous! Tignes is an amazing resort and I'm sure I don't need to say an awful lot about the ski area as it has been discussed thousands of times, but Chalet Aigle however is fantastic. The employees do a brilliant job. We stayed in room 25 which is small and comfortable but more than adequate for a couple on a weeks holiday. Showers were always hot and there is the added bonus of a pool and sauna in the chalet. Food was great; breakfast was continental plus a hot cooked option every day, the cakes at afternoon tea were lovely and dinner was 3 plentiful courses (with choices) with aperitifs and canapés beforehand and cheese afterwards - we never went hungry! The location is excellent - a piste runs immediately to the rear of the property (which takes you down to the Chaudennes and Paquis lifts) so it is a very short walk to join it in the morning and you can ski pretty much back to the door at the end of the day. The only downside to the week was that several guests who hired skis were recommended Inter Sport had their skis stolen and had to pay large amounts of money to Inter Sport (even if they had taken out the insurance - €200 rather than €750) It all felt rather too suspicious when on visiting the police station to report the theft, one guest found 10 other Inter Sport customers reporting the same thing! This is obviously not their fault (and they assured us that they probably won't be recommending Inter Sport anymore), but it is worth being aware of - take ski locks with you! Overall I would highly recommend both Chalet Aigle if you are planning on visiting Tignes.
Apres Ski: 5/5
Accommodation & Value: 5/5

Can Coinstar Reinvent the Vending Machine?
By Joan Solsman
When momentum slowed last year in Coinstar's Redbox DVD-rental business, investors may have flashed back to scenes from "Nightmare on Elm Street." Was the company in the bad dream everyone feared was coming? And worse, would it be dead before it could wake up?
Long has the kiosk maker battled an undercurrent of market worries about its growth prospects once DVDs start going the way of the dodo. Shares lost nearly a quarter of their value in the second half of last year as abating growth in Redbox rentals made some wonder if the DVD-kiosk business was at the beginning of its end.
Coinstar sought to shake everyone out of that troubled sleep today, as it presented a plan of reinvention it believes will double its revenue to $4 billion in five years. It is plowing ahead with new automated-retail machines in new sectors and figuring out ways that its traditional kiosks — DVD-rentals and coin counters — can do more.
In its legacy businesses, it is expanding what machines can do. At coin machines, it is widening a partnership that essentially lets customers use the kiosks like ATMs for PayPal accounts, and it wants to meld a gift-card exchange in as well. At Redbox, a joint venture with Verizon Communications Inc. combines Redbox physical DVD rentals with streaming content, and it is also testing local-event ticketing in a couple cities.
Anne Saunders, the president of Redbox, envisions that customers 10 years from now won't even remember that the Redbox business began with physical DVDs.
New ventures could be even more transformational. Coinstar is developing kiosks in new consumer sectors like food and beverage and electronics, that it believes hold about $16 billion in possible consumer spending on automated options. Furthest along are Rubi coffee dispensers, machines that make multiple drinks with Starbucks Corp's Seattle's Best coffee. It projects an $800 million market for automated out-of-home coffee, creating space for as many as 70,000 kiosks.
By comparison, there are about 43,700 Redbox machines now, and that's nearly the point of saturation. Coinstar is significantly slowing its rate of new installs, instead aiming to drive revenue growth with increased customer visits and the new products on the machines.
But the fail rate for new automated retail ventures is bleak. Scott Di Valerio, the company's financial chief set to become CEO, even says they have a "very low" rate of success. He's hoping Coinstar—with its built-in expertise getting Redbox and coin machines to thrive—is ahead of the curve.
Yet not all Coinstar's kiosks have hit the right notes. Coinstar abandoned one called Chirp, which sold fashion accessories like handbags at a discount, because performance metrics fell short of targets designed to mimic the return on investment at Redbox and the coin machines.
The company intends to stay just as stringent about its slew of new ventures as they begin spreading out into the world at large. It's one reason Coinstar believes return on invested capital can increase to 20% in three years from 18.4% now, even as the reinvention is sure to bring stumbles as the company learns completely new sectors.
Investors, for now, seem to be giving Coinstar's vision the benefit of the doubt. Shares rose 5.2% today.

CFCA asks project coordinators in the countries that Walk2gether visits to complete questionnaires about their experience with the walk. The questions are intended to identify the walk's highlights and challenges in their country. Here are some comments from Henry Perez, project coordinator in Lima, Peru. (Walk2gether is now in Bolivia.)
What are the most memorable moments during the walk?
The Walk2gether camper had to leave the walk so that its country circulation permits could be renewed in Peru. We drove the camper back to the border to renew the permits.
During this trip, the camper suffered several mechanical problems, causing a delay in catching up with the walk.
Walk2gether in the desert in Peru.
The camper was away from Walk2gether about five days. Most of Bob's equipment and gear is inside. It's the only place where he has time to rest and relax during the walk.
In spite of this, Bob showed his strength and will to continue and spent these days in a minivan to rest and keep the little gear he had. We were able to spend more time with him and see a different side of his humanity.
The second most memorable moment was walking on the road from Arequipa to Juliaca. The narrow, steep roads took us from 2,800 meters (about 1.7 miles) above sea level to 4,528 meters (about 2.8 miles) in the same day.
The curves were very dangerous and the visibility was poor. A very strong rainstorm occurred, and we suffered extreme cold that numbed our body. Then a hailstorm hit as we were going up the road.
Despite these extreme weather and road conditions, Bob did not stop and motivated all of us to continue with our mission.
What are some challenges Walk2gether encountered?
CFCA-Lima has three full-time staff members and serves about 1,600 sponsored members. At the same time, the walk in Peru was going to be very long, almost four months, because Peru is a big country ó almost twice the size of Texas. During much of the walk no sponsored members or their families were nearby to accompany it.
All three of us agreed to take on this challenge, and we did it!
What are some things that went well?
We had company and protection from the national police and the ability to consolidate our team's duties by multitasking.
Walk2gether's portable bathroom.
We had a police escort 98 percent of the way in Peru. Some policemen even joined the core group of the walk ("Grupo Corazon") and walked long distances, offering protection.
Did you have a funny moment during the walk?
Many! One was at a rest stop when one of the drivers went to use the portable bathroom.
Nobody knew he was in there and the truck driver pulling the portable bathroom took off.
The man inside the bathroom did not know what to do. He opened the door and realized it was moving, but he could not close the door again and stayed and greeted the people in the buses that were passing by.
We remembered this moment along the rest of the walk!
Did anything go wrong?
The spare tire of one of the vehicles and the power generator we carry were stolen in the city of Chiclayo.
How many sponsored members and their families participated?
Thirty-five sponsored members walked out of Lima. We had about 600 sponsored members and their families in our main event at the center of Lima.
Anything else you would like to add?
The walk symbolizes the daily burdens that our sponsored members and their families face in their pursuit to survive in a world that still turns its back on them.
Just as Bob does not stop in spite of weather conditions, sand storms, dangerous roads and crazy drivers, the CFCA staff in Peru won't stop our efforts to create a CFCA closer to our sponsored members and their families amid the problems we face.

The plump and happy cat in the lap of Janet Russell was probably named after an eminent British poet (1716-1771) whose most famous work, "Elegy in a Country Churchyard," was popular in the mid-19th century. Janet was the only child of Kate (Shumway) and William Delano Russell. The family spent the summers at Turners Falls, Massachusetts, about ten miles from Sunderland, where William was born. They spent their winters in New York City, New York, where Janet's father was an executive for the International Paper Company (as its auditor). By the mid-1890s, when this picture was taken, it was easy for prosperous people to have summer homes far from their place of work. The railroads were well developed, and the Russells could have made it from New York to Greenfield with just a half day's travel. Janet would spend most of her life in and near Turners Falls. She died in 1981 in nearby Greenfield, Massachusetts.

CalCommonCause necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 53 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
We are looking for a logo / branded look that represents our alliance, RedistrictingCA which also stands for Redistricting California Alliance. California passed a law to create a citizens commission to draw new the entire state in 2011. Need logo and branded look for brochure PowerPoint, letterhead template 4 education materials. Our alliance includes civil rights, community, and good government groups. We want to make sure that we get the word out to regular folks around the state to apply to serve on the Commission. We will be traveling around the state giving presentations about how people can get involved, so we need to create a new look for all our materials! We may come back for more!
Our audience is politically engaged Californians, all ages, all backgrounds. Need to have a logo / brand that expresses inclusivity.
We would love to have the logo incorporates three ideas: the outline of California, diverse faces, and/or district lines.
1. District lines - this could be the actual lines, which you can find on websites like: http://www.sen.ca.gov/ftp/SEN/senpl…TE_640.JPG or you might choose something symbolic, like puzzle pieces.
2. Diverse faces - We want to encourage people of all backgrounds and walks of life to apply to be a commissioner. So we'd like something that suggests inclusivity. It could be diverse faces, or something symbolic. Here's a handbook that some of our groups created in 2001, for the last redistricting process: http://www.maldef.org/resources/pub…Manual.pdf
We like the look of this, but we are looking for something a little less heavy.
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. Action, inclusivity. We are teaching a serious topic that we are trying to lighten, a little.
Here are some our alliance member and partner websites that might inspire you:
We are also attaching a brochure draft so you can get a feel for us.
We will need a high resolution logo as an .eps or .jpg file.

Last week the September 2013 USD Index (NYBOT:DXU13) did not move much between open and close with last week's open at 82.120 and close at 82.167. We saw a weekly high last week at 82.780 and low at 81.935. Moving into the week of Sept. 9 my weekly BULL numbers are 82.567 and 83.096 and my weekly BEAR numbers are 81.722 and 81.406.
On the horizon, a FOMC meeting is coming, actually next week on Sept. 17 and 18. Will we see tapering? Will we see a hawkish Fed or a dovish Fed? To prepare the U.S. dollar for a hawkish Fed or even tapering, the U.S. dollar needs to drop. If you look back to June 19 on the daily chart you can see the move up in the U.S. dollar. On June 19 Ben Bernanke spoke and was hawkish stimulus and the U.S. dollar moved from 81.000 to 85.000 fairly quickly. And take a good look at the price action that preceded this hawkish stance. If this drop did not take place and Ben came out hawkish, the U.S. dollar would have climbed from between 84-85 settling close to 88. The Fed does not want the U.S. dollar at 88. Now take a look at the drop following July 10, a day Ben Bernanke came out dovish stimulus. See the U.S. dollar drop. Neat isn't it. So if in fact tapering is coming, the Fed will try to keep the U.S. dollar from rising too far from where it is today. After all if tapering is announced just how far and fast will the dollar rise, looking back at June 19 will give you a good idea. Have a prosperous week.

Warren B. Rudman, budget-conscious senator, dies at 82
Warren B. Rudman, the moderate and sometimes combative Republican senator from New Hampshire who waged a frustrating fight to balance the federal budget and who helped lead a federal panel that warned of a terrorist strike against the United States only months before the 9/11 attacks, died on Monday night in Washington. He was 82.
The cause was complications of lymphoma, according to his former communications director, Bob Stevenson.
Rudman, a Korean War veteran and former amateur boxer, prided himself on his blunt-speaking adherence to centrist principles and his belief in bipartisan compromise as the underpinning of good government. He served two terms in the Senate, but decided out of exasperation not to seek re-election in 1992, saying that the federal government was "not functioning" and that it was impossible to get anything done in a Senate rife with posturing and partisanship.
Before he left office he extended his fight against the federal budget deficit by joining with former Sen. Paul E. Tsongas, D-Mass., and the former commerce secretary Peter G. Peterson in founding the Concord Coalition, a nonpartisan advocacy group on fiscal issues.
And as a private citizen he later served as co-chairman of a federal commission on national security with former Sen. Gary Hart of Colorado. In a report released on Feb. 15, 2001, seven months before planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, the panel warned that "attacks against American citizens on American soil, possibly causing heavy casualties, are likely over the next quarter century."
In a White House statement, President Barack Obama called Rudman "an early advocate for fiscal responsibility."
"And as we work together to address the fiscal challenges of our time," the statement said, "leaders on both sides of the aisle would be well served to follow Warren's example of common-sense bipartisanship."
Rudman was best known for two laws that sought to force the government to spend within its means: the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act of 1985 and the Gramm-Rudman Act of 1997. Those measures, sponsored with Sens. Phil Gramm of Texas and Ernest Hollings of South Carolina, threatened automatic spending cuts if Congress and the president did not meet benchmarks on the road to a balanced budget.
But while the laws helped hold down deficits, Republicans balked at raising taxes and Democrats resisted limits on entitlements, and the measures were amended and repealed before they could force huge spending cuts.
The failure of his efforts to control federal spending was one reason Rudman gave for retiring from the Senate.
"I wasn't sure the glory of being a senator meant much if we were bankrupting America," he wrote in a 1996 memoir, "Combat: Twelve Years in the U.S. Senate."
A signal moment in his Senate career came in 1987 when he served as vice chairman of the Senate contingent of the congressional investigation into the Iran-contra affair. He worked closely with Sen. Daniel K. Inouye of Hawaii, the Democratic chairman, and joined in the majority report, opposed by House Republicans, which concluded that aides to President Ronald Reagan had knowingly violated the law by selling arms to Iran and using the money to aid the anti-Communist rebels in Nicaragua.
In a confrontation with Lt. Col. Oliver North, the Marine officer who played a central role in the affair, Rudman told him that he, too, believed that the United States should aid the rebels, known as contras, but that the American people and Congress had decided otherwise and made it a matter of law.
"The American people have a right to be wrong," he told North. "And what Ronald Reagan thinks or what Oliver North thinks or what anybody else thinks matters not a whit. There comes a point when the views of the American people have to be heard."
For all his work on fiscal and national security issues, Rudman said he regarded his role in the selection of David H. Souter for the Supreme Court as his proudest achievement. Souter had served as deputy when Rudman was attorney general of New Hampshire in the 1970s. In an interview for this obituary in 2010, Rudman called Souter "an absolutely extraordinary member of the court" whose views, though he was part of the court's liberal minority on social issues, "will become majority opinions and will become the law of the land."
Souter had just been confirmed as a judge on a federal court of appeals when Justice William J. Brennan Jr. announced his retirement in 1990. Rudman called a fellow New Hampshire Republican, former Gov. John H. Sununu, the White House chief of staff, to urge the Bush administration to nominate Souter, saying the choice would be easily confirmed by the Senate. He then spoke to President George H.W. Bush and persuaded him as well, Rudman said.
Souter, who had virtually no record on hot-button issues and who was criticized by some as a "stealth candidate," won a 90-9 confirmation vote. At first, liberals were more worried about him than conservatives were, but it was conservatives who came to attack him for his votes in favor of abortion rights and against the 2000 decision in Bush v. Gore that made George W. Bush president. Souter retired in 2010 after 20 years on the high court.
Rudman also served as chairman and then vice chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee. In 1991 the committee took action against the so-called Keating Five, senators who had questionable relationships with the savings-and-loan executive Charles H. Keating Jr. When one of the senators, Alan Cranston, D-Calif., defended himself by saying he had only done what others had done in aiding Keating, an angry Rudman took the floor.
"What I have heard as a statement I can only describe as arrogant, unrepentant and a smear on this institution," he said. "Everybody does not do it."
Rudman was a sharp critic of the religious right. In his memoir he wrote: "The Republican Party is making a terrible mistake if it appears to ally itself with the Christian right. There are some fine, sincere people in its ranks, but there are also enough anti-abortion zealots, would-be censors, homophobes, bigots and latter-day Elmer Gantrys to discredit any party that is unwise enough to embrace such a group."
The American Conservative Union rated his voting record as 67 percent conservative. His critics on the right were unhappy with his support for abortion rights; for the Legal Services Corp., which provides lawyers for the poor; and for countenancing tax increases as part of the solution to balancing the budget.
"I thought my beliefs were classically conservative," Rudman countered in his memoir. "On balance, they put me near the middle of the political spectrum, a little to the right of center."
Warren Bruce Rudman was born in Boston on May 18, 1930, the grandchild of Jewish immigrants from Germany, Poland and Russia. As a child, he moved with his family to Nashua, N.H. There, he wrote in his memoir, "thanks to schoolyard encounters with anti-Semitism, I was handy with my fists."
After graduating from Syracuse University, where he boxed, he served as a company commander in the Korean War, winning a Bronze Star. In his memoir, Rudman described the impact of his time in the Army.
"As I wrote the book I saw an unexpected theme emerge: the importance of my Korean War experience and the bond I felt with other senators, such as Bob Dole, Dan Inouye and Bob Kerrey, who had also known combat. If you have that experience, not much is left in life that will intimidate you."
After the war, he took over as operations manager of his family's furniture company in Nashua while attending law school at night at Boston College. He was in private practice from 1960 to 1968, became counselor to the governor of New Hampshire in 1969, then attorney general from 1970 to 1976. After returning to private practice, he ran for the Senate in 1980 and narrowly defeated John A. Durkin, the Democratic incumbent. He easily won re-election in 1986, which was generally a bad year for Republicans.
After leaving the Senate he served on President Bill Clinton's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and was its chairman from 1995 to 2001.
He remained frustrated that the warning of a terrorist attack issued by the national security commission he helped lead went largely unheeded.
"No one seemed to take it seriously, and no one in the media seemed to care," Rudman said in a New Hampshire appearance in 2007, as quoted by The Associated Press. "The report went into a dustbin in the White House."
The report resurfaced after the Sept. 11 attacks, and its suggestion that a Homeland Security Department be created was adopted. But he grew disappointed in the department's performance and predicted the country would be attacked again.
"It is not a question, I'm sorry to tell you, of 'if,'" he said. "It's a question of 'when.'"
He also spoke out against the influence of hidden moneyed interests on the electoral process, arguing for a Democratic-sponsored bill in Congress that would require corporations, unions, political action committees and other organizations to disclose their identities and the amounts they donate to campaigns.
"If campaigning for office continues to be so heavily affected by anonymous out-of-district influences running negative advertising," Rudman and former Sen. Chuck Hagel wrote in an opinion article on the New York Times website in July, they feared that "many of our most capable potential leaders will shy away from elective office."
Rudman practiced law in Washington at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and served as chairman of Stonebridge International, a business strategy firm. He was also the lead director on the board of Raytheon, the defense technology company. He lived in Washington and maintained a home in New Hampshire as well.
Rudman's wife of 57 years, the former Shirley Wahl, died in 2010. He is survived by his wife, Margaret Shean Rudman; two sisters, Carol A. Rudman and Jean Gale; two daughters, Laura Rudman Robie and Debra R. Gilmore; and three grandchildren.
Rudman feuded with his alma mater long after he had left its campus. In 1952, Syracuse withheld his bachelor's diploma because he had refused to pay an $18 fee for the yearbook, saying he had not been told of the charge in advance. After he was elected to the Senate, Syracuse offered him the degree or, if he preferred, an honorary degree and eventually mailed him the diploma. He never opened the package, and later blocked an earmark of several million dollars for the university.
Looking back, he credited his long memory to the New Hampshire in him. His attitude, he said, "was a testament to what I guess you would call New England crotchety stubbornness."

Rachel,actually I prefer hot dog (I use the Frankfrut type of hot dog, it taste better)
Ai Wei, I tried few buns which left over next day, the texture also tasted slight hard. But at least it is healthy lor. Outside one they add all kind of chemicals e.g bread improver,softnen & etc, thatswhy still soft in next day. Maybe you can try the way Felvinc prepared which use 中种面团, I tasted her Hokkaido bread before, the texture was very soft even she keep after 2-3 days, see the link here http://felvinc.blogspot.com/2009/05/vs.html. I have yet to try bake bread using 中种面团。

mp3 album
ant-zen. act173
download "ékranoplanes" from
szkieve is dimitri della faille who founded the project in 1998. besides several szkieve releases, dimitri has also collaborated with martiens go home and vromb, and made a split-vinyl with ammo. szkieve's music is made of intense and complex compositions that assemble rich textures and expansive sounds. this is then combined with chords, string melodies and high-pitched synthetic tones. szkieve's sound explorations could be described as 'scientific', comparable to the works of modern electronic composers. but instead of 'dry, academic experiments', szkieve transforms moods into music and the result is quite unusual for this genre. 'ékranoplanes' is a concept work: because they require huge amount of resources and money, science and technologies have always been at the mercy of politics. this mini cd is a study of a lost technology of the former soviet union. that is, the futuristic vision of one man confronted by the needs of a country engaged in a battle for the world. ékranoplanes are the platypus of transportation, they are both planes and boats or something entirely else. these incredible monsters of steel and oil broke the waves of the caspian sea while intelligence around the world were still trying to figure out what they were. made of tons of rivets, motors and grey matter - those having the chance to spot such a special animal never forgot the sound of its metal bouncing on water or its wings cutting the air. with this release, szkieve renders the grandeur of this forgotten technology and pays a tribute to the developments of modern science. packaging: 3"cd-digipak.

kellyh99 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 89 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
Peace Happens
My name is Kelly Harman. I want to build an online business selling a variety of t-shirt designs and jewelry centered around the concept of Peace. A % sales will be donated to several non-profits that work to help victims of war in various countries. The logo is the first step in this process. The website, once launched, will be http://www.peacehappens.net. Clothing will be 100% organic cotton or hemp. Jewelry will be sterling silver. I'll be looking for unique designs created by international designers to use on our products. Once selected, we will include the name and photo of the designer on the site and and he/she will receive royalties for anything that gets sold with their design. I am going to be leveraging social media, blogging, twitter, and as many Web tools as possible to promote the company.
My target market is primarily men and women ages 19-35, interested in wearing very original clothing, organically focused and socially conscious. They believe that small things can make a big difference if enough people engage.
It is NOT necessary to try and incorporate the peace sign into the logo. The Peace Happens logo will be used in clothing labels and on packaging tags. It will be on the website, business cards, etc.
I need something that looks good in black & white as well as color. I'm a font freak, and so I would like you to really think about a great font that you believe embodies the concept behind Peace Happens. If, in addition to a font treatment for Peace Happens, you also want to create a mark, then please do NOT use clip art or anything that resembles a "cartoonish" look. The words I think of when considering the brand of Peace Happens are: clean, energetic, balanced, organic, original, artistic, and contentment.
I don't have a huge color preference but would like to stay away from "rainbow" colors or anything tie-dyed. I'm not trying to recreate Woodstock!

The Attack on the Family Continues as Same-Sex Marriage is Legalized in New York
June 25, 2011 7 Comments
Article first published as The Attack on the Family Continues as Same-Sex Marriage is Legalized in New York on Blogcritics.
Last night same-sex marriage became law in the state of New York when Gov. Cuomo signed the bill. New York became the second state to legalize same-sex marriage through the legislative process (New Hampshire was the first). Four other states have legalized same-sex marriage through the court system. They are Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, and Vermont.
As we see the continuation of the attack on the institution of marriage we need to step back and consider the bigger picture. This is just one battle in the larger attempt to destroy the family unit. If you have never considered this, take some time to think it through. The family unit is the basis for modern society. It has been since God instituted marriage and the family way back in the Garden of Eden. The family unit is, and always has been, the foundational structure on which all society has been built. If it is destroyed society will crumble. Are we not seeing this now in the United States and around the world?
Many will ask how legalizing same-sex marriage can damage the family unit. Let me take a moment to explain. The family unit was designed to have several functions such as procreation, religious instruction, societal training, etc. Each member of a family unit has some specific roles that must be fulfilled in order for society to function at an optimal level.
One of the primary functions of a family unit is that of procreation. Biology requires a male and a female for procreation. A same-sex couple can not produce children on their own. This threatens the very existence of a society or nation. As the number of same-sex couples increases the number of couples available for procreation decreases and if it decreases enough then the total population will begin to decline as the birth rates do not meet or exceed the death rates. Same-sex couples by themselves are probably not enough to cause this overall population decline but it is an increasing factor in the equation.
