TVNZ has complained to Facebook after the publication of weight-loss ads using stars such as Petra Bagust, Toni Street and Shavaughn Ruakere.
The two Breakfast presenters and Shortland Street actress' images appear in separate advertisements for gyms and a beauty product which claim 13kg can be lost with "two simple steps".
TVNZ spokeswoman Megan Richards said the broadcaster had been aware of the issue for several weeks, although the bogus ads appeared to have evolved recently.
Half a dozen gyms including the national chain Les Mills have been promoted by the ads, while earlier ads were linked directly to the product Duocleanse. Clicking on the link takes the user to the promoted gyms' websites but Ms Richards said all had denied having anything to do with the ads.
TVNZ's legal team had asked the social media giant to remove the ads as it was unpleasant for its stars and clearly a breach of copyright.
"Our view is ... somebody is making money out of this somehow, somewhere but we have not yet established where in the chain this is taking place and where it is."
Bagust's pictures had been in use longer than Street's. Ms Richards said Facebook was investigating.
"They've picked it up but they haven't offered us any resolution just yet either ... Clearly [Bagust] is not happy, we're not happy and we'd like to get it down as soon as possible."
Les Mills reported the ads to Facebook yesterday. National marketing manager Kristin Falconer said the company was disappointed "our brand is being used in this way, and without our knowledge".
Another gym used in the ads, ABSolute Health & Fitness in Dunedin, asked for help from members.
"If you see an advertisement on your newsfeed with a photo of Petra Bagust using our website address, report it to Facebook, it actually takes you to a spam site. We have never asked or wanted any advertising on Facebook."
An Australian Facebook representative asked for comment did not respond.
NetSafe chief technology officer Sean Lyon warned businesses that although Facebook's ability to target particular groups was unlike any other media platform, there were risks.

Stroke-Time Lost is Brain Lost
Stroke is the leading cause of disability and the third leading cause of death in the United States. An estimated 700,000 to 750,000 new or recurrent strokes occur each year in the United States.
In 2004 New York State had 6,855 deaths due to stroke.
Learning the signs of stroke and calling 911 for help are the best ways to prevent disability and death from stroke.
Time Lost is Brain Lost
Stroke Signs
All of the major symptoms of stroke appear suddenly, and without warning and they are often not painful but still need to be taken seriously. If you think someone is experiencing any of these symptoms, or you are experiencing them call 9-1-1 immediately.
The most common symptoms of stroke can be remembered by the acronym FAST:
- F = Face: Is one side of the face drooping down?
- A = Arm: Can the person raise both arms, or is one arm weak?
- S = Speech: Is speech slurred or confusing?
- T = Time: Time is critical!! Call 9-1-1 immediately!
Other, less common symptoms of the most common type of stroke are:
- sudden trouble seeing,
- sudden dizziness, and
- generalized weakness.
If you or someone you are with have any one of these symptoms, it's important to act FAST and call 911, as soon as possible!

Baby Elephant Cries for 5 Hours After Violently Being Rejected by Mother in Zoo (VIDEO, PHOTOS)
A baby elephant cried for five hours after it was rejected and stomped on by his mother, in a tragic event that has captured the hearts of thousands of Internet users around the globe this week.
The newborn elephant began crying and wouldn't stop for a long time after he was separated from his mom for his own safety by zookeepers in China. The Zookeepers were forced to intervene when the baby elephant's mother, who had only just given birth to the elephant, turned on the newborn and began stomping on him.
The incident took place at the Shendiaoshan Wild Animal Reserve Area in Shandong Province and has stunned the zoo officials. Zoo officials initially thought that the stomping was a mistake by the mother, and they quickly moved in to remove the newborn to treat him for injuries.
Once they treated the baby elephant they returned him to his mother for a reconciliation. However, as soon as he returned they were horrified to see the new mom begin to attack the baby again, repeatedly attempting to stomp on the newborn.
Zookeepers again rushed in to aid the baby, and took him away. The baby elephant, rejected by his mother then began crying inconsolably for around five hours, causing great concern for the zoo officials. Even though the zookeepers tried to comfort the elephant, images have appeared showing the baby elephant weeping with tears streaming down his face.
The heartbreaking pictures have captured the hearts of thousands of Internet users around the world and have gone viral on the world wide web.
Since the tragic incident, the baby elephant has since began to recover well and has now been adopted by zookeepers, who are taking care of him.
A spokesman for the zoo said: "The calf was very upset and he was crying for five hours before he could be consoled. He couldn't bear to be parted from his mother and it was his mother who was trying to kill him. They have made a good bond. We don't know why the mother turned on her calf but we couldn't take a chance."
It is not known why the mother rejected her calf. Newborn calves are precocial and can stand and walk almost immediately following its mother and herd. A new calf is usually the center of attention for an elephant herd.

INDIANAPOLIS -- San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said it is very "unlikely" the team will release Alex Smith. Translation: They will exhaust every avenue to trade the quarterback first.
Those trade discussions could start with the Kansas City Chiefs. Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports reported Friday that Kansas City "appears" to be the most interested team, although it's too early in the process to truly know. Cole also mentioned the Arizona Cardinals as a possibility. Other reports have suggested the Cardinals like Smith.
Cole reported that the 49ers spent much of Friday checking in with the agents of potential top-tier free-agent cornerbacks, telling them that the 49ers would have more money available once they trade Smith.
It's hard to imagine any team -- including the Chiefs or even the Buffalo Bills -- giving up much for Smith. But a late-round draft pick for the 49ers would be better than nothing.
The 49ers' interest in cornerbacks also is telling. Perhaps Carlos Rogers' roster spot is not secure.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

The relatives and friends of Phoebe Prince, the 15 year old Irish girl who took her own life after a campaign of bullying in her Massachusetts high school in 2010, are speaking out in support of 'Bully,' the new documentary film about peer on peer violence opening today.
Prince's relatives and friends told the Boston Herald they'll be out in force to attend screenings of the new film, which offers an unprecedented look at the many social factors that allow bullying to thrive in US schools and communities.
'It's really important,' Prince's aunt Eileen Moore told the Herald. 'Hopefully, it will open the eyes of adults about what's really going on.'
Dawn Berard, a mother from the South Hadley, Massachusetts area whose daughter was friendly with Prince, told the Herald she plans to take her entire family to see the film.
'People need to know how damaging it can be,' Berard said.
According to the Herald child development experts say 'Bully' shines a bright light on the shocking scale of the problem.
'We're having a hard time,' Diane Levin, an early childhood education professor at Wheelock College told the Herald. Levin said she believes there has been a spike in bullying nationally, which she blames on something she calls 'compassion deficit disorder.'
'It's the term I use to capture what worries me about the various forces in society that are undermining children's social development, and a lot of it had to do with media and technology,' she said.
Earlier this month 'Bully' endured a high-profile ratings battle with the Motion Picture Association of America, who decided to give the film an R rating after objecting to the language some children had used on camera. When critics claimed their R rating would prevent the people most affected from high school bullying from seeing the film, the the film's distributor, The Weinstein Company, agreed to remove some of the offending language and the film now has a PG-13 rating.
Prince's aunt said the ratings battle was a more reminder of just how little most adults actually know about children's lives.
'They put an R rating on it for the language that real-life kids use,' she said. 'That's the world our children are living in, and the kids know it. It's time for the adults to realize it too, so we can move forward.'
Moore added there is no comparison between the bullying adults may have encountered 30 years ago, and the onslaught that today's kids encounter.
'Twenty or 30 years ago, kids could come home after a bad day at school, and feel done with it. It wouldn't spread, and kids were safe in their own home,' she said. Nowadays thanks to social media a text or an embarrassing photo can spread to dozens of students in seconds, at any hour of the day.
'Kids today don't have a safe place, she added.

The collective work of Siavash Alamouti, Hamid Jafarkhani, and Vahid Tarokh has helped the wireless communications industry with improved quality of service and increased network capacity and has been a key enabler for 4th Generation OFDM/MIMO systems. Space-time block codes have enabled multiple-input multiple-output wireless communications systems help overcome the challenges of signal fading without the need for extra receiver antennas. Wireless data is transmitted in multiple redundant "blocks" from antenna to antenna across the network to improve the likelihood of quality data transfer on the receiver end. The trio's research has greatly influenced the standardization, commercialization, and advancement of these codes. Mr. Alamouti created the first space-time block code for two transmit antennas in 1997 (the Alamouti code). Dr. Tarokh later generalized the code and together with Dr. Jafarkhani and A.R. Calderbank published two papers in 1999 spurring major research efforts. Dr. Jafarkhani extended the performance of space-time codes by introducing the quasi-orthogonal space-time block code in 2001.
Dr. Jafarkhani is a Chancellor's Professor with the University of California, Irvine.

There's something exhilarating about a good, old-fashioned battle of the wills between myself and my daughter. Partly, I think, because we're very well-matched in this area. She is a worthy opponent. An expert at holding her ground.
But guess what, little one, so am I. Not all the time, mind you. Just when I feel like it. Eliza's the exact same way. Most of the time she does what I tell her. She's a very good girl. But when it comes to certain things, such as SLEEPING, this kid does not back down. She's incredible. I can't help but be impressed. We've let her cry it out longer than I was comfortable with and she was still going strong.
Early on I would get frustrated with her. There was door slamming and stuffed animal throwing. But then one day I realized it's just a competition. A competition in something I'm excellent at: Getting my way. This gave me renewed confidence.
However, I've never had such a challenging opponent. I'm an only child and I got my way quite a bit growing up. Not because my mother spoiled me, but because there just weren't any other kids around to protest my desires. Then I married this wonderful man who loves me so much that he's happy to go along with whatever I want (sort of). But then this child entered my life, somehow born an expert in getting her way.
So I learned to pick my battles. If I fought with her on everything it would be too much. But every so often, when I'm feeling spunky, we go at it. I stand my ground, she stands hers. Hours go by. There's crying. There's screaming. There's giggling and "I know I'm so cute you're going to give in" smiles. Then more crying. And finally, a winner emerges.
And guess who today's winner is. The one who's not currently asleep in her crib, that's who.

In "Moon Over Buffalo," onstage at Sanford's Princess Theater, playwright Ken Ludwig has devised a farce about the messed-up personal lives of a second-rate acting troupe, which struggles to put on a play that goes horribly wrong.
If this sounds to like Michael Frayn's "Noises Off," yes, there are certainly similarities.
The key differences: Frayn created sharp characters and funny payoffs to his daffy scenarios. Ludwig, alas, did not.
This lack of compelling source material makes uphill work for the Princess Players, relative newcomers on the Central Florida theater scene. And though with this show the troupe can't ever reach the comedy mountaintop, they do find some winning moments on the trek.
When "Moon Over Buffalo" premiered on Broadway in 1995, most buzz was about the return of Carol Burnett to the Broadway stage for the first time in 30 years. Critics loved her — but not the show, which ran less than a year.
In "Moon Over Buffalo," George Hay is a showbiz ham, touring small theaters with staples such as "Cyrano de Bergerac" and "Private Lives." Joining him is his wife and acting partner, Charlotte (Burnett's role on Broadway), who dreams of a career in the movies.
Daughter Rosalind used to act with her parents and date company manager Paul, but she has fled for a "normal" life and become engaged to a dopey weatherman, Howard. She was replaced in the company by Eileen, who has a thing for George. Rounding out the players are Ethel, Charlotte's hard-of-hearing mother, and Richard, the Hays' lawyer who's smitten with Charlotte.
Director Shelley Ackman has a handle on his characters' rapid entrances and exits through multiple doors — a staple of farce — but has a less sure hand with the characters' relationships.
It's hard to tell if George and Charlotte have any true love for each other or not. As George, Larry Stallings seems more bemused by his wife than anything; Denise Glickler's Charlotte displays bubbly enthusiasm but not much acid under the froth.
The supporting players fare better — Drew Storie as increasingly frantic Paul, Anthony James as bright-eyed twit Howard, brilliantly costumed in a too-large bow tie.
Kagey Good is an old pro with character parts such as deaf Ethel, though she's not given much to do. Marcie Schwalm (Rosalind) has to play it relatively straight, but she gets a chance to shine as she singlehandedly tries to stage the opening scene of "Private Lives."
Ludwig had Broadway success with "Lend Me a Tenor" and "Crazy for You," but he's outrageously sloppy here. To wit, a key plot point requires the audience to believe a veteran actress who regularly reads "Variety" wouldn't know anything about famed director Frank Capra.
Ridiculous — and not in a good, farcical way.

Kissing Cousins: Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick
Who Do You Think You Are will also be back for its third season in the US starting in February. If you can find the UK version online, there are some "absolutely brilliant" episodes that are worth searching for.
When I watch these shows, I usually have my laptop and I'm researching along trying to find the next clue before they reveal it on the program. My curiosity is insatiable. How am I related? What else aren't they showing on the program? It is safe to say you shouldn't leave me alone with the Christmas presents before the big day.
I first heard about the new PBS series from Dick Eastman's site. The post there says – "The new series will feature two people in each one-hour episode, including husband-and-wife actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, who jokes she's afraid they might turn out to be cousins. 'They are indeed distant cousins,' revealed Gates."
I couldn't wait until their episode airs to find out how Kevin and Kyra were related. Kyra Sedgwick has an amazing family history full of names like Bradstreet, Endicott, Peabody, Cabot and Lathrop. Since this year is the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, they might discuss Kyra's connection to Col. Robert Gould Shaw. Or, because it is an election year they might talk about her connection to former Presidential Candidate Senator John Kerry from Massachusetts.
What they probably won't talk about is that in Kyra's ancestry there are at least five first cousin marriages. These were not some backwoods marriages. These were all Massachusetts marriages with prominent members of society. More than likely it was an arrangement to keep money in the family.
Since there was a teaser about Kevin and Kyra being related, they will probably show that relationship. I'm not going to post a spoiler here. You can find the answers here if you are as curious as I am. Coincidentally, my wife is connected to Kevin and Kyra through the same ancestor and shares 20 common ancestors with Kyra. Are you one of the million that they can call cousin?
4 comments:
Wow, I'm already cousins with Kyra if she is descended of Lathrop and Peabody, I wonder if I'm cousins with Kevin Bacon, too! I'm going to check your link because I'm like you and I can't wait until the episode airs...ReplyDelete
I found out I'm related to Kyra also. I live IN and am FROM the city of Peabody. I am related to the Peabody family. My great, great grandmother was Harriet G. Peabody. The Peabody's are also related to Halle Berry (through her white mother) and related to the Wahlberg family--Donny & Mark. AND the city of Peabody was named after George Foster Peabody.ReplyDelete

I see that the referenced ancestor chart has John Hoar marrying Alice Lisle. There is no proof that John Hoar's wife Alice was Alice Lisle. John Hoar's brother Leonard Hoar definitely married Bridget Lisle, daughter of Lord John Lisle. There is considerable circumstantial evidence against Bridget's sister Alice to be the one who married John. This includes the facts that John Hoar and Alice were having children by about 1650 when Alice Hoar was still in her young teens, other evidence is that Bridget Lisle Hoar and her known living sisters were petitioning Parliament for return of her mother's (Alicia Beckinshaw Lisle) property confiscated after the show trial which led to Alicia's execution. Alice Hoar does not appear in those documents though she was alive at that time, etc.ReplyDelete
The speculation that Alice was Alice Lisle appeared in the late 1800s but I know of no contemporary (1600s) evidence supporting that.

Solar and Lunar are not Equal:
Q: Actually, is the design intention to have both Eclipses with the same damage output for single targets and AoE?
A: Actually, no. We're currently intending for Lunar to be slightly better at single target damage and Solar to be AoE damage. When you have time between phases or situations where you can use Astral Communion to quickly switch sides, you should be able to further optimize performance by tailoring which Eclipse you line up with which boss phases. The difference should not be significant enough, however, that in a Patchwerk-style scenario, you are compelled to only DPS in one eclipse.
This explains a lot. You may remember about a month ago beta build 15726 did some fairly strange things based upon the information we had up to that point. Hurricane and Starfire were buffed while Astral Storm and Wrath were nurfed. A lot of people wondered what the hell Blizzard was doing and I speculated that it was some sort of tool tip or data mining error, but now it makes sense.
My first impression was pretty positive. A lot of players believe that the current MoP moonkin rotation is to simple and therefore boring. I don't agree with them 100%, but I can see their point. As it stands right now, when you enter eclipse you cast your dot and maybe starfall and then just cast nukes until you reach the next eclipse.
This doesn't change the rotation, but having Solar favor AoE and Lunar favor single target adds a little thought and planning back into the rotation. The better players should be able to set themselves apart by being in the right eclipse and that should make them at least a little happy. Additionally under this system mistakes aren't punished as harshly as they currently are since you will still do decent AoE damage in Lunar and decent single target damage in solar.
All that said, after a little more thought I do have a couple of concerns.
Is the Difference Too Big:
My first concern is about the size of the difference. As you may remember, Hurricane and Starfire were buffed by 10% in beta build 15726 while Astral Storm and Wrath were nurfed by 10%. This means that Hurricane and Starfire will be about 22% stronger then their counterparts and that fells a little to large for me. I would prefer to see a difference in the 10% - 15% range.
Timing Eclipse Again:
I have found timing Eclipse in Cataclysm to be extremely problematic, and in my opinion one of the best things about the new MoP rotation (prior to the specialized eclipses) was that timing Eclipse should have been a much smaller issue. While miss timing Eclipse in MoP won't completely destroy your DPS the way it does in Cataclysm, having specialized Eclipse buffs makes it a much more significant issue.
I know a lot of you see this as a good thing because it theoretically allows skilled players differentiate
A good example of this is Heroic Ragnaros. As we all know, being in Solar Eclipse is extremely important for phase two of heroic rag to DPS down the adds quickly. At the end of T12 raiding my Phase one DPS was timed just about perfectly. If I was a little short, when the boss phased I could push Solar Eclipse during the transition and would have it when I needed it. Everything was right with the world. However, as I started doing Heroic rag to farm mounts and get the legendary quest items during T13, my eclipse transitions stopped lining up with the bosses transitions and has reduced my overall DPS on the fight.
Making this complaint and using heroic Rag as an example might not be entirely fair because I am using a level of gear that this fight was not designed for. However, I do see the same thing happening in Dragon Soul with the ever increasing damage buff that Bizzard provides so that everyone can get the kill. Zon'ozz is a good example of this, because I want to be in solar for the black phase to dot up the tentacles, but I've seen my timing change every time the buff is increased.
Making the different Eclipse buffs specialized reintroduces the timing problem into the rotation in a significant way. Messing up the timing in MoP won't be as devastating to moonkin DPS as it is in Cataclysm, but I don't like any situation where my DPS could suffer due to things not entirely in my control.
Another Look at Astral Communion:
After that last section I know some of you are thinking "Hey, What about Astral Communion? Doesn't that fix the control issue?" To that, I say yes and no. Astral Communion is a great tool that helps in a pinch, but it is extremely limited because it is a channelled spell. For Astral Communion to be useful you have to be standing around doing nothing or being in Eclipse for the next phase has to be so important that it's worth the DPS Loss. How many situations fall into one of those two categories? How many times are you standing around in a boss fight with nothing to do? In my experience, there haven't been many of those times. Even during boss transitions there is usually a stack up point or something of that nature that I have to move towards eliminating the possibility of using Astral Communion.
This leads me to the first change I would like to see made regarding Astral Communion. I would like to be able to cast Astral Communion while moving. Not only would this help you out during transitions when you need to get into a new position, but it also acts as an indirect movement DPS option that Moonkin currently don't have.
My second issue is, what do you do when you need to do high single target DPS but you are already half way through the Lunar Eclipse bar? Astral communion isn't a good option because it will take you at least 21 seconds to get back to the top of Lunar Eclipse. Staying where you are at isn't great because you will be leaving Lunar Eclipse soon. There are other options as well, but none of them are all that good, because they require you to DPS in a less then optimal way.
To address this, I think it would be neat to have a way to move the Eclipse bar backwards. I'm not exactly sure what would be a good way to do this. Having a single button that always moved you to the closes Eclipse wouldn't work, because if you were in Solar and wanted to be in Lunar, it would move you in the wrong direction, Having two buttons that moved the bar in one direction only, would work but it feels pretty confusing.

Bunker Hill tops Hickory to win Classic title
Despite falling behind 1-0 against Hickory, the Bunker Hill baseball team "Shook" it off, literally.
The Bears (23-0) came back with an offensive onslaught, led by catcher Tyler Shook, to capture their second straight Catawba County Easter Baseball Classic on Wednesday.
Shook had a four-RBI performance, including a two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth inning. Jacob Shepherd added two RBIs in the victory.
"As far as I'm concerned, the three games we played this week are the finest three-game stretch I've ever had a team play," said Bears coach Marty Curtis. "When you combine pitching, defense and hitting, we played as well as you can play."
Bears' starting pitcher Cody Plemmons said the feeling of winning another title was overwhelming.
"This is real special," Plemmons said. "A lot of teams haven't won two titles in a row. To get the opportunity to come out with a great group of ball players and be able to win is very special for us and our coaches."
The Bears trailed 1-0 after Hickory pitcher Robert Whaley doubled to score catcher Barrett Miller. That was the first run allowed by any Bears' pitcher since the tournament started Monday. It was also the first time they had trailed since a game against West Caldwell on April 19.
"We had to have high intensity, go out there and get them," Plemmons said. "We just had to keep pounding the baseball and keep doing what we've done all year."
Bunker Hill responded immediately in the bottom of the first with an array of offense. The biggest of the hits came from the bat of Shook, who doubled to score Plemmons and first basemen Shepherd.
The Bears scored five runs in the inning to take a 5-1 lead.
Down, but not out, the Red Tornadoes (14-9) scored two runs in the top of the third inning. Whaley scored on a throwing error by Shook. Hickory's Michael Payne singled and scored on a sacrifice RBI by third basemen Zach Jarrett.
Not finished with their offense, the Bears scored six runs in the fourth and fifth innings to take a commanding 11-3 lead. Shook had two of those runs, including his two-run blast.
"I was just trying to make contact," Shook said. "I just hit the ball really well. My first at-bat, I was down in the count. I just wanted to hit the ball and I hit the ball solid."
Shepherd, Ervin and Null also had an RBI each in the inning.
Whaley struggled on the mound for Hickory, giving up eight runs on nine hits and two walks.
Plemmons finished with six innings on the mound for the Bears. He struck out seven batters, allowed six hits and walked four. Closer Cole McGraw finished out the final inning by striking out 2-of-3 Red Tornado batters.
With the tournament over, the Bears look ahead to next week's Catawba Valley Athletic Conference tournament. They will try to add their second tournament title in just over two weeks.
"The challenge will be winning three straight games," Curtis said. "We will have three games in five days. We don't need to be thinking about anything else. To me, that is the way we try to approach it."

Marajuana Rules Discussed In Spokane Forum
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — About 450 people attended last night's forum in Spokane on drafting rules for the sale of recreational marijuana in Washington. The Spokesman-Review reports the crowd was clearly supportive of marijuana sales, although some were concerned about corporate control and advertising. The forum was the fourth the Liquor Control Board is holding as it prepares to start selling the drug by the end of the year.

Over at National Journal's National Security Experts blog, this week's question revolves around the health of the U.S. economy, and its relationship to U.S. power.
How serious a threat is the mounting debt to the nation's standing as the world's only superpower? Can the U.S. continue to spend more than all other countries combined on its military forces given burdensome debt levels? In what other ways does the mounting debt undermine the country's strategic position? […]
Our long-term fiscal imbalance, which increasingly amounts to a massive intergenerational wealth transfer, is clearly a sign of our decline. But it is a decline that has been a long time coming. (I first wrote about the insolvency of the Social Security system as a college sophomore, 23 years ago.) As such, it is tempting for people to assume that we'll figure our way out of this mess before a complete collapse. Let's call them, at the risk of a double negative, the declinist naysayers. And, even if they are willing to admit to the problem in the abstract, the naysayers can point to the more serious, and urgent, imbalances between pensioners and those who pay the pensions in Europe or Japan and say "At least we aren't them."
That is a pretty shoddy argument, but it seems to be ruling the day. We can talk about the obvious unsustainability of using taxes on current workers to pay benefits for retirees until we're blue in the face. And my second grader can do the math on a system that was designed when workers outnumbered beneficiaries by 16.5 to 1, and in which, by 2030, that ratio will fall to 2 to 1. It simply doesn't add up. (For more on this, much more, see my colleague Jagadeesh Gokhale's latest.)
But this isn't a math problem; this is a political problem. The incentive to kick the can down the road is overwhelming. The pain in attempting to deal with the problem in the here and now is, well, painful. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that members of Congress / Parliament / Bundestag / Diet, etc, have become very good at avoiding the issue altogether. And many of those who have chosen to tackle it are "spending more time with their families."
What does all this mean for the United States's standing as the world superpower? Less than you might think. Our difficulties in two medium-sized countries in SW/Central Asia have done more to puncture the illusion of American power than our political inability to deal with domestic problems. Our fiscal insolvency might convince other countries to play a larger role, if they genuinely feared for their safety. But other countries, especially our allies, are cutting military spending, while Uncle Sam continues to bear the weight of the world on his shoulders. In other words, our ability to maintain our global superpower status isn't driven by our economic problems. But it is strategically stupid.
It is here that I take issue with Ron Marks's contention that we spend less today than during the Cold War. While technically accurate, measuring military spending as a share of GDP is utterly misleading (as I've argued elsewhere.) If the point is to argue that we could spend more, I agree. But the measure doesn't address whether we should do so.
We should think of military spending not as a share of the American economy, but rather relative to the threats we face. In real terms (constant current dollars), we spend today more than when we were facing down a nuclear-armed adversary with a massive army stationed in Eastern Europe and a navy that plied the seven seas from Cam Ranh Bay to Cuba. We spend more than during the height of the Vietnam or Korean Wars. Today, terrorist leaders are hunkered down in safe houses somewhere in, well, somewhere. In other words, what we spend is utterly disconnected from the threats we face, a point that is easily obscured when one focuses on military spending as a share of total output.
We spend so much today not because we are facing down one very scary adversary, but because we are facing down dozens or hundreds of small adversaries that should be confronted by others. After the Cold War ended, our strategy expanded to justify a massive military. Since 9/11, it has expanded further. Our fiscal crisis alone won't force a reevaluation of our grand strategy. It will take sound strategic judgement, and a bit of political courage, to turn things around.
In the cover letter to his just-released National Security Strategy, President Obama acknowledged that it doesn't make sense for any one country to attempt to police the entire planet, irrespective of the costs. Unfortunately, the document fails to outline a mechanism for transferring some of the burdens of global governance to others who benefit from a peaceful and prosperous world order. We should assume, therefore, that the U.S. military will continue to be the go-to force for cleaning up all manner of problems, and that the U.S. taxpayers will be stuck with the bill.

BYU Leaves For the WCC in Hoops: Two PerspectivesPosted by rtmsf on August 31st, 2010
We asked two of our best contributors to take a look at today's news that BYU has decided to go independent in football while joining the WCC in all other sports. As he's done all summer, our Mountain West correspondent Andrew Murawa breaks down all the moving pieces here in a simple, understandable way. Additionally, our WCC correspondent, Michael Vernetti, stops by with a profile of the architect of the biggest coup of realignment summer, WCC Commissioner Jamie Zaninovich.
What Does It Mean? by Andrew Murawa
The wait for the next step in conference realignment is over, as BYU announced today its intention to forge ahead as an independent in football while joining up with the West Coast Conference in most other sports, beginning in 2011-12. In the process, the last hopes for the Western Athletic Conference to remain a viable entity have vanished, and the Mountain West Conference has turned its gaze from perhaps earning an automatic bid to the BCS for its conference champion to simple survival.
A look at the news from the perspective of all the major entities in this move, BYU, the WAC, the MWC and the WCC:
- BYU – it appears all along that BYU was set on going independent in football, and just needed to find a soft landing spot for its other sports. In football, they're working with ESPN on a deal for their television rights and they'll make a viable schedule out of the remnants of the WAC (Utah State and Hawai'i are already on the schedule for 2011) and whoever else ESPN can convince to play them. Regardless, they're certainly not getting a Notre Dame-style sweetheart deal from the BCS and they'll likely have trouble filling out a schedule decent enough to regularly put them in BCS contention. As for the move to the WCC, this is an excellent destination for a good basketball program, putting the Cougars into a spot where they should be able to compete with Gonzaga for conference supremacy immediately. Given St. Mary's steady rise, Portland's continued improvement, Loyola Marymount's potential and the success of schools like Pepperdine, San Diego and Santa Clara in the past, the Cougars will definitely find some worthwhile competition there. And given that every other school in the league is a religious institution, BYU at least has something in common with its new conference mates (never mind the fact that BYU has a student body of 33,000, while the biggest school in the WCC has an enrollment of less than 9,000). But, the big key for BYU is getting away from what they found to be a limiting television package in the MWC. Now, they'll be able to make use of their state-of-the-art media center and use it as a nice carrot to make sure that they are able to reach an agreement with ESPN. And, given that the WCC already has a television deal in place with ESPN for basketball and will reportedly retain broadcast rights for games not aired by the WWL, this is likely a big upgrade in terms of the television package for BYU.
- WAC – goodbye. If BYU had agreed to join the WAC in its non-football sports, at least there would have been some reason for the continued existence of the conference, but now standing at six teams with schools like Hawai'i and Utah State already considering other options, this venerable conference is on its deathbed as it approaches its 50th birthday. Right now, about the only reason for the remaining schools to stick together is in the hopes of getting the $10 million in buyout money from Fresno State and Nevada, money over which there will clearly be an epic legal battle. WAC commissioner Karl Benson insists that Fresno State and Nevada will have to remain in the conference through 2011-12, but the schools so far beg to differ. With six remaining members, the conference still holds a claim on an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for a couple of years, but the defection of one more school (whether it be Utah State to the MWC or Hawai'i to independence) would be the final nail in the coffin.
- MWC – saved from extinction a few weeks back by Fresno State and Nevada's agreement to join the conference, the MWC is certainly hurt by the loss of BYU but it was going to happen sooner or later anyway. The hope of an automatic bid for its conference football champion to the BCS is now a distant memory and the conference is left with its meager television deal with Versus, CBS College Sports and its own network, The Mtn., now minus the Salt Lake City market (the regional hub of the conference). In order for the conference to remain a viable entity for the future, it will need to fix its issues with its television contracts, but in the short term, it is still a strong league. However, given that the television contract is locked in until 2015-16, the conference may find itself having to fight off other suitors for some of its strongest members. TCU has already been mentioned as a possible target for the Big 12, and there has even been talk of a merger or some kind of alliance between the Mountain West and Conference USA (talk fueled by meetings between the two conferences in the days after the MWC added Fresno State and Nevada). Finally, there is the possibility that the MWC would be interested in adding more teams. They could certainly finish off the WAC by stealing Utah State (a move that would probably thrill Fresno State and Nevada because it would immediately end the $5 million buyout talk) and maybe even New Mexico State. There have been hopeful rumors of adding some of the western CUSA teams (Houston, Tulsa and UTEP, for example), but the MWC's television deal probably precludes that, so it will be interesting to see what the next move is for a conference that was very recently thought to be a significant up-and-comer.
- WCC – first, you have to wonder what Gonzaga thinks of this. They've been the alpha dog in the conference for years as the school casting shadows on the rest of the league, and now, they're potentially just another tiny school bouncing about in behemoth BYU's wake. Certainly Gonzaga basketball isn't going anywhere, but they're no longer the program that can be immediately penciled in as the favorite in the conference every single year. Looking at it from the Zags' perspective, the addition of BYU adds a couple more high-quality games during the conference season to bolster its strength of schedule and maintain a high RPI -– perhaps they don't have to go so nuts with their non-conference schedule anymore. As for the conference as a whole, BYU's presence in basketball is nothing but good -– more high-profile games, stronger schedules and a big new market. The league – now at nine teams with the addition of BYU – will go to a 16-game full home-and-home round robin schedule (although they'll need to figure out the logistics of that, since there is no longer an easy way to schedule travel partners with an odd number of teams) and they'll need to rearrange their conference tournament (tournament semifinals have been on Sunday and BYU will not play on Sundays). And there is even the potential for further expansion. Pacific had been considered for possible conference membership in 2008, and the Tigers would be a good fit along with the existing Bay Area schools (St. Mary's, San Francisco, Santa Clara), but Denver and Seattle have also been mentioned as possible new invitees, given that those schools would add new large markets to the conference. Denver, in particular, would be a natural travel partner for BYU. All things considered, this is an exciting day for fans of schools all around the WCC, even if the size and particular religious affiliation of BYU may give brief pause.
What's next?

To say that "Middle of Nowhere," winner of Sundance's coveted directing award for writer-director Ava DuVernay, sheds long-overdue light on infrequently explored aspects of African American life is true as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough.
For the truth is that it is uncommon to see serious adult dramas this moving and accomplished, so attuned to real people and their complex, recognizable emotions, no matter the racial makeup of the characters involved.
So though it echoes the films of Charles Burnett, the plays of August Wilson and "A Raisin in the Sun," at its heart "Middle of Nowhere" is old-school, character-driven narrative at its most quietly effective.
This realistic story of what happens to a wife and a marriage when a husband is sent to prison takes its subject too seriously to oversell it. DuVernay's deeply involving script understands that ordinary life can be a hard, difficult business from which no one emerges untroubled or unscathed.

Lieutenant Jones did everything possible to get the engines and boilers ready and if the elements that burst upon the vessel had delayed for a few minutes, the engines would have saved the vessel. With boilers and steam pipes bursting about him in clouds of scalding steam, with thousands of tons of water coming down upon him and in almost complete darkness, Lieutenant Jones nobly remained at his post as long as the engines would turn over, exhibiting the most supreme unselfish heroism which inspired the officers and men who were with him. When the boilers exploded, Lieutenant Jones, accompanied by two of his shipmates, rushed into the firerooms and drove the men there out, dragging some, carrying others to the engineroom, where there was air to be breathed instead of steam. Lieutenant Jones' action on this occasion was above and beyond the call of duty.

Looking at a letter of commendation from President Yusof Ishak to Mr Tan
Mr Tan Hai Liang,
In the 1960s, when my mother was a young girl, she remembers buying drink from Hai Liang's provision shop every day from the way home from school. Dennis writes that Hai Liang was the drinking buddy of his grandfather as they lived just down the street from each other.
These days, Grandpa drinks alone, having survived most of his friends.
Today, Hai Liang is known affectionately as Ah Gong (or Grandpa) by everyone. He lives on the island with his second son and daughter-in-law. The Teochew family has been running the same provision shop on the island since my mother was a young girl. Hai Liang was not born on the island but came to Southeast Asia from China. He worked in Malaysia and Indonesia before finally settling down on Ubin. Although he could no longer hear very well, the amazing centurion can still write us messages in beautiful chinese characters. He communicates mainly in the chinese dialect of Teochew as Mandarin was a relatively recent standardization which many of the Southern Chinese did not learn when they left their homeland to seek jobs in the Southern Seas (Nanyang).
Today the provision shop is still there and on top of that, the former storeroom of the family has now been converted into the restaurant that we all frequent regularly! Ah Lian, the lady boss of the restaurant is Grandpa's daughter-in-law!
The restaurant used to be the storeroom of the family!
When we visited on 16 March 2008, this centurion just finished his shower and was about to settle down into his routine tsingdao beer and biscuits. Perhaps those are his secrets to longevity!
I found this amazing photo of Hai Liang from Dennis' photo collection from almost half a century ago (left). Still looking young as ever!
In fact, his youngest son divulged to me that back in the days when Bin Kiang School did not have enough classrooms, not only did they use the wayang stage as classroom but Grandpa Hai Liang also lent out the use of his home as classrooms for the school!
These rooms in Mr Tan's house were once temporary classrooms of Bin Kiang school.

Red-hot shares of Smith & Wesson (NASDAQ:SWHC) surged 20% on Friday after the gun maker's quarterly results and more bullish guidance blew Wall Street's expectations out of the water.
Continue Reading Below
The stronger-than-expected results and rosier outlook prompted a number of analysts to upgrade their price targets on the historic gun manufacturer.
Smith & Wesson impressed Wall Street late Thursday by hiking its full-year forecast, now forecasting EPS of 85 cents to 90 cents on sales of $530 million to $540 million. The new guidance was well above estimates from analysts for EPS of just 63 cents on sales of $498.2 million.
For the current quarter, management expects to post EPS of 19 cents to 21 cents and generate sales of $130 million to $135 million. Even the low end of that range would top the Street's expectations for EPS of 13 cents on revenue of $119 million.
Encouraged by the new guidance, analysts at Northland Capital raised Smith & Wesson's price target to $17 from $14 and maintained an "outperform" rating. Likewise, Wedbush boosted its target to $11 from $10 and kept a bullish rating.
Also, Smith & Wesson reported a fiscal first quarter profit of $17.8 million, or 27 cents a share, compared with $791,000, or one cent a share, a year earlier. On an adjusted basis, it earned 28 cents a share, significantly surpassing the Street's view of 18 cents.
Sales soared 48% to $136 million, solidly topping forecasts from analysts for $128.7 million.
"Internal capacity increases, enhanced supply chain integration capabilities, and strong execution by our operations team allowed us to exceed our revenue and earnings guidance by capturing incremental sales," CEO James Debney said in a statement.
Shares of Springfield, Mass.-based Smith & Wesson climbed 19.49% to $10.74 Friday morning, giving them an eye-popping 2012 surge of 148%.

A few days ago Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata announced that a new firmware update was about to be released for the 3DS. That update has become available today.
For anyone who is part of the early adopter's Ambassadors Program, or any gamer that downloads a lot of games to their handheld, this is an update well worth getting as soon as possible. The reason being it adds folders. Each of these folders can hold up to 60 icons, meaning your multi-page home screen can become a lot more organized.
Once applied, creating a new folder is as simple as tapping an empty slot on your home screen. A new folder option will be presented at which point you can name it. Whatever the first letter of the name you choose is appears as the folder name on the home screen. You can then drag and drop icons into the folder. I created two folders: one for all my Ambassador games, and the other for icons I just don't use very often such as the Mii stuff.
The other major feature of this new firmware is the ability to patch games. If a developer finds a bug or undesirable cheat in a released title, they can now issue a patch and have a gamer download it. This looks to be an optional step, but could be enforced if you want to play the game online. Patches have already been confirmed for Mario Kart 7, Kingdom Hearts 3D, and New Love Plus.
The patch should be available to everyone as of today. To get it just load up your system settings and click the check for updates option (here's Nintendo's guide). A few minutes later you should have the new firmware installed and be good to go. Just don't forget to plug your 3DS into the mains before applying it.

Farmers Need Death Tax Relief By Blake Hurst, Missouri Farm Bureau president (via the Columbia Daily Tribune) "But the person who owns 1,000 acres will be faced with a prospective tax bill of around $5 million.
