Heroes and Villains
The Challenge:
Create two stand-alone vignettes, one featuring a Hero, the other a Villain. The two vignettes must also be able to be combined to form a larger vignette-like creation or super-vignette.
The Rules:
- The basic footprint of each vignette may not exceed 8x8 studs. The base of your vignette does not need to be square.
- A two stud overlap will be allowed. Vignettes must not exceed 12x12 studs above the base.
- Your hero and villain must be placed/built on their own seperate vignette.
- Each vignette may include other figs, but the hero or villain must be recognizable as such.
- No rebuilding is allowed to combine vignettes - they must be able to be combined as-is. Technic pins or existing, built-in overhanging bricks that can be then 'hooked' onto the other vignette to attach them is allowed. Vignettes may also be considered 'combined' by simply placing one next to the other.
- When combined, the two vignette bases must touch with at least one stud adjacent to another; simply touching the corners together isn't allowed.
- The heroes and villains may be historical or fictional, literary or imaginary, but must be medieval themed.
- Back-story is not required, but may be useful to the judges to understand your entry. Back-story is not required if the relationship between the hero and villain is obvious (ie. black knight vs white knight). Use your best judgement to decide if you think your entry needs back-story.
- You are limited to 1 entry consisting of your two vignettes.
***Submit entries by replying to the entries post found HERE. If you have more than one picture for your entry, please only post one picture in this thread and link to your offsite gallery of other images.***

Hello, I'm argv. Just saying 'hello' to everyone.
I will probably stop in with some stupid questions once in a while, perhaps the occasional smart question, and just discussion.
I'm currently taking programming classes at a community college. I'm taking regular beginning "c" right now, and am trying to decide whether to take advanced "c" or go right into C++. I want to have a good grasp of the procedural language before going to the OOP stuff, even though "c" programming is all but dead. I dunno..
I also work with autocad and use (a very small amount) of visual basic and (alot) of LISP language.
anyways, thanks,


text: Cape Town - Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Monday congratulated the Proteas squad on their superb performance in beating Australia by 309 runs inside four days to clinch the Test series 1-0 and extend their lead at the top of the ICC Test Championship Table to a commanding six points.It was the Proteas biggest winning margin over Australia in terms of runs since unity and their second biggest of all time. It also meant that they went through the 2012 year unbeaten in Test cricket with five wins and five draws during that period. Nine of these 10 matches were away from home and included back to back series wins over England, the previous No. 1 team, and Australia.They also joined the all-time greats (England in the 1890s and again between 1928 and 1933 and the all-conquering West Indies teams of Clive Lloyd and Sir Vivian Richards) in completing back-to-back series wins in Australia.Scorecard: Australia v South Africa, third Test, PerthAustralia v South Africa: Third Test, day 4, latest highlightsProteas give Ricky Ponting a guard of honour"What a wonderful way to celebrate our 200th Test match since unity," commented CSA Acting CEO Jacques Faul. "I would not wish to single out individuals in what has been a wonderful team performance from that has also underlined the depth in our squad from coach Gary Kirsten right down to our three new caps but one has to make an exception in the case of our captain, Graeme Smith, who has now won back-to-back Test series in both England and Australia."It was fitting that he should be involved in the final dismissal of the series when he took his fifth catch of the innings to set a South African record and to equal the South African record for the most catches in a match (6). He has, in fact, taken 10 catches in his last two Test matches."The Proteas have shown true championship class in fighting their way out of trouble when they were under pressure, particularly at Adelaide, and for seizing the initiative by winning all the big points on the second day at Perth."What has been particularly impressive has been the style they have brought to their game and nowhere was it better illustrated than by the batting performances of Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers at Perth."They are not only a champion side but they play like true champions."I would also like to thank Graeme and his opposite number, Michael Clarke, for the magnificent manner in which this whole series has been conducted. The cricket was tough and uncompromising from the first ball to the last but it was always played within the best spirit of cricket."We are certainly looking forward to Australia's return to our shores next summer. In the mean time we have a bumper summer of Test cricket ahead of us at home with the Sunfoil Series against both New Zealand and Pakistan."All the countries that have held the No 1 ranking since the end of Australia's period of domination have struggled to stay on top for any length of time but the Proteas have now cleared two major hurdles and I believe we can look forward to a period of their extended domination of Test cricket in the years ahead."With Dale Steyn on 299 Test wickets and Jacques Kallis on 12 980 Test runs there are also some exciting individual landmarks coming up."

Not been over here very much recently - been way too busy drawing to actually upload very much! LOL!
Mainly being asked for Pet Portraits and I'd like to put them on here but have the usual problem of watermarking them effectively and I don't have time just now for colouring - which is why I've not updated for a while.
One I'm happy to post though is a bespoke one though it may be a bit late for most of you to use.....
Please feel free to 'snag' this one for a while - if you would be very kind and credit Eiglas with the image, should you use it (just 'image by Eiglas' is fine!) it would be very much appreciated!

text: You are invited to join the National Aquarium's Animal Rescue team this weekend as we release several rehabilitated sea turtles back to their natural environment. The release is scheduled for 11 a.m. Sunday, June 26, at Point Lookout State Park in Scotland, MD. The turtles will be released at the swimming beach: These Kemp's ridley sea turtles stranded on the coast of New England and came to us in December, suffering from cold stunning—the sea turtle equivalent of hypothermia. While in long-term rehab, the turtles have received daily care including feeding, medical treatments, and environmental enrichment to stimulate their natural instincts. Kemp's ridleys are the most endangered of all the sea turtle species, and we believe that every turtle counts! Several turtles will be outfitted with a small satellite transmitter that will allow us to track the location and speed of the turtles. These tags help researchers learn more about sea turtle migration and travel patterns. After the release, you can follow the turtles' progress. We hope you'll join us in wishing the turtles farewell and safe travels! For directions to the park, visit the park's website (normal park entrance fees apply).

When people learn that I managed to avoid college loans, I'm often asked how that happened. It was a mixture of work, luck, and help.
Planning for College
For as long as I can remember, I knew I'd go to college. It was a given. I can't remember my family overtly pushing me that way, but my grandparents and parents went to college, so I was going to go too.
My family is also open about money, so I always just seemed to know that college would be expensive. So, I started babysitting and pet-sitting when I was twelve years old so that I could save for those magical four years of college education.
I also planned to get a "real" job as soon as I turned sixteen. My plans changed, though, when we moved overseas. Because of my dad's job, we lived in Holland for six months and Argentina for more than two years. I wasn't old enough to get a work visa.
At that point, I assumed my parents would probably help pay for college. I also knew that I'd need to get a job as soon as we got back…but good plans sometimes just aren't enough.
We moved back nine months before I was scheduled to start college, and I still had long-distance courses that I needed to finish before I could graduate from high school. I churned out those assignments, applied for scholarships like a crazy woman, and signed up for my first year. That is also when I applied for my first "real" job — as a help-desk attendant for the 24-hour assistance desk in my future dorm.
Putting the "Work" in Work-Study
Luckily, I received a few scholarships, including a very large Academic Achievement Award that covered a big part of my actual class expenses. But my parents covered my dorm room and food for that first year. I also worked at least 20 hours a week at the help desk and applied for other on-campus positions.
By my second year of college, I was engaged. (We met while I was working the help desk!) I was still trying to pay my own way through college, but I kept falling short about $1200 every semester. I was lived as cheaply as possible, splitting a room for $288 to save money, and even staying under $3 a day for food. But making $5.25 an hour just couldn't cover everything my scholarships left behind.
I worked part-time in the Games Room on campus throughout my last three years in school. During my last year, I was a blackjack dealer for office parties (the legal kind of gambling in Texas, where the players could win raffle tickets for prizes). I also found a third job as a tax-office receptionist during my last semester. I took loans from my parents for whatever my scholarships and my paychecks couldn't cover.
A Final Piece of Help
By the time I graduated from college (with honors), I was working Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at the tax office; Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5pm-1am at the Games Room on campus; and I was a blackjack dealer Friday and Saturday nights.
In short, I working almost 60 hours a week in three different jobs, commuting to campus every Tuesday and Thursday for my last twelve hours of classes, and ended up owing my parents a little more than $8000.
The week after graduation, we had our fantastic $3000 wedding. I had to give up my two main jobs, so I took the first salaried position I was offered. I'm still there.
A few months after all of that, my parents forgave my $8000 in loans as a late graduation present. I was really broke, but at least I didn't have any loans. As I said in the beginning, having no student loans was a mixture of work, luck — and help. (I know I'm lucky to have received the help from my parents.)

In honor of Homer Bailey's late season, spot-on Tom Seaver impersonation, including a no-hitter and a stellar postseason performance, now seems an appropriate time to revisit my preseason thoughts on Homer, which you can read here.
In summary, based on the trend lines of four peripheral statistics, I thought Homer was a legitimate breakout candidate in 2012. The conclusion of my write-up read as follows:
At this point, it's looking like the question isn't whether Homer will be better in 2012, but rather by how much? If I was a betting man, then I'd have to look at these peripherals and say "quite a bit."
One of the more interesting recent developments in the baseball universe is the attempt to strip away anything and everything that could cloud player evaluation, including narratives created by fans and baseball writers. In fact, I sometimes think that this "stripping away" comes at the cost of the pure enjoyment of the game. A compelling narrative may not always be relevant to player valuation, but it can certainly make the game more engaging and enjoyable for the fans. But, I digress, anyway, this "stripping away" development is driven by the emergence of statistical analysis, which has provided a newer and more accurate measure of the value of players. As the more accurate measure of player value became apparent, the narratives crafted by the fans and media began to ring untrue, whereas in the past there was far less ability to differentiate between the narrative and the truth. One of the players for whom the narrative had begun to overshadow the value appeared to be Homer Bailey.
Not many players entered the 2012 season with more narrative baggage than Homer Bailey, who originally arrived on the MLB scene with massive expectations and who proceeded to consistently underwhelm all while displaying a questionable attitude. Homer's perennial struggles kicked up so much noise in the form of fan frustration that it was very, very easy to overlook the incremental improvement that he had been making. In fact, I admit to falling prey to that myself, as when I took an objective look at him this offseason, I was rather surprised by what I saw.
Taking a look at four separate peripheral stats (BB/9, K/9, F-Strike%, and SwStr%) revealed that Homer was likely closer to figuring it out than fans, myself included, previously realized.
Here are those peripheral stats, this time with the 2012 season included:
2008: 4.21
2009: 4.13
2010: 3.30
2011: 2.25
2012: 2.25
Interestingly, Homer maintained the same exact walk rate, to the 100th decimal point, as he did in 2011, which is very encouraging given how impressive that mark was in 2011.
2008: 57.8%
2009: 55.7%
2010: 60.4%
2011: 62.4%
2012: 66.0%
F-Strike% is the percentage of batters that Homer starts off with a first pitch strike. Major League average is 59%. It's an important metric for the simple fact that getting ahead in the count permits the pitcher to tilt the probability of success in his favor. As good as Homer was in 2011, he was substantially better in 2012, evidencing vastly improved command inside the strike zone.
2008: 5.4%
2009: 7.9%
2010: 8.4%
2011: 9.3%
2012: 9.4%
In 2012, Homer posted the highest SwStr percentage of his career, which is encouraging given the correlation between swing-and-miss strikes and strikeout rate.
2008: 4.46
2009: 6.83
2010: 8.26
2011: 7.23
2012: 7.27
Obviously, a strong strikeout rate is important to dominating pitching, especially when the pitcher operates in a launching pad like Great American Ballpark where contact frequently spells trouble. Homer maintained a posted the second highest strikeout rate of his career in 2012.
2008: 36.1
2009: 113.1
2010: 109.0
2011: 132.0
2012: 208.0
Finally, while the four peripheral stats indicated a potential breakthrough to a new performance level, that breakthrough would have been far less valuable if it had not been paired with a heavy workload. Prior to the 2012 season, Homer had never thrown more than 132.0 innings in a season. Obviously, 2012 was an entirely different animal, as Homer combined health and performance to break the 200 inning mark for the first time.
When all was said and done, those peripherals and workload came together to produce a season of 3.68 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 168/52 K/BB ratio over 208.0 innings pitched. Granted, there were times when it didn't look like a breakthrough was coming and he continued a level of "own-age" of the Pirates that has rarely been seen in nature, but Homer excelled in the second half and took his game to the next level.
While it is possible that Homer will regress in 2013, his peripherals indicate that this is a legitimate and sustainable breakout driven by incremental improvement in his game. Homer is actually looking like a top of the rotation pitcher on whom the Reds can rely in the future. That would be one of the biggest and most important developments of the 2012 season for the Reds franchise.

Extreme metal leviathans HATE have announced, via their Official Facebook Page, the addition of drummer Pawel "Pavulon" Jaroszewicz to the group's ranks after Hexen's leaving.
HATE's mainman and songwriter Atf Sinner comments:
"We are proud to inform you that Pavulon has joined HATE as a full-time drummer! I must say this was not a hard choice, because we have known Pavulon for years and always admired his dedication to the music and development he has made being in groups such as Crionics, Vader, Decapitated and Antigama. Having played a couple of shows together, we now strongly feel that he is the right man in the right place. I have no doubt that his drumming skills will bring in some extra power to our live sound as well as new songs. He will be appearing on the upcoming album, which will be followed up with more details soon. We have been working on the new material for months now and I am hoping we get in the studio by June and start tracking. In a few days we start European tour with Kampfar (below). Remember not to miss that! To sum up, I want to say we have long needed some new blood and energy and finally we got it. Now I am looking forward to the challenges that lay ahead to make HATE shine brighter than ever!"

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Time for some overclocking of the GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition and running the tests again to see what hashrate increase can we expect from the GPU with the increased operating frequencies. The Founders Edition cards are somewhat limited in the max power you can get, but the good news is that the GTX 1070 FE still has the same 8-pin PCI-E power like the 1080, even though its default TDP limit has been lowered to 151W and the Power Limiter allows for just 12% increase over the default TDP (169W max TDP). There is already a tool for flashing modified video BIOS files available, so now the only thing we need figured out is how to modify the TDP limits in BIOS and other settings such as frequencies and voltages in order to be able to squeeze some additional extra performance over the stock clock capabilities of the Founders Edition cards and even more from the non-reference designs that are already starting to become available on the market.
We already know that the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 GPUs are handling quite well overclocking and you can squeeze quite a bit extra performance from them if you are not limited and don't care than much about the power usage. We are trying the GTX 1070 Founders Edition to see what it can do withing its current limits without touching the core voltage and what we got was: Power Limit + 12%, Core Clock + 210 MHs, Memory Clock + 830 MHs, the max settings that are running stable for 24/7 mining on our test card and the results are below. Do note that these can vary from card to card, so you should experiment until you find what works best for you. Regardless it seems that the GTX 1070 FE cards are doing quite well in terms of overclocking in general, so you should expect an nice extra performance boost from them and even more from the non-reference designs.
The performance increase we get after overclocking the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition card with the clock settings above are pretty much consistent with what the GTX 1080 FE shows. The performance boost in terms of hashrate increase in the various algorithms is about 12-14% higher than at the stock settings and better results could be achieved with increase of the voltages, however with that you will also need to be careful that you are fitting in the TDP limit. It is interesting to note that the GTX 1070 FE does perform better on NeoScrypt (668 KHS stock/771 KHS overclocked) than the 1080 FE, but it it still outperformed by the GTX 980 Ti for example. It seems that the slower GDDR5 video memory used here does perform better with the memory intensive algorithms unlike the faster GDDR5X memory used in the 1080, however the GTX 1070 still needs some fixes for NeoScrypt. As already noted the situation with Pascal GPUs including the GTX 1080 and the GTX 1070 is the same for Ethereum mining under Windows resulting in very low hashrates, so while waiting for a driver fix you might want to go for Linux for Ethereum mining on these cards. All other algorithms we have tested besides the not so great NeoScrypt performance are doing well under Windows 7 and 10, so mining for these you don't need to rely on Linux, especially if you are no good with it.
Time for a quick look at the power usage of the GeForce GTX 1070, the reference design from Nvidia that has a TDP of 151W set by the manufacturer, making it pretty energy efficient for the performance it provides for crypto currency mining. We are checking the situation with the different algorithms apart from Ethereum, because we already know that the GTX 1070/1080 is far from great choice for Ethereum mining when using Windows and we are testing the mining for other algorithms with Windows 7.
Looking at the results from the different algorithms the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition does seem to be about 30% on average slower (25%-33%) compared to its bigger brother – the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition at the stock settings. The situation with the power usage difference between the two cards is also very similar to the performance difference in the tested algorithms. So the next very interesting question is how well the GTX 1070 will overclock and how will the OCed performance compare to a stock GTX 1080 and an overclocked one. We are going to be posting our results from the GTX 1070 overclock soon, so stay tuned for them.
While we were testing and comparing crypto mining performance we have actually noted that the comparison between GTX 1070 and GTX 980 Ti is actually more interesting as you can see from the table with results. As you can clearly see the GTX 1070 is slightly faster than GTX 980 Ti, but power usage wise it is much more efficient. This can give you a better idea on the evolution of performance and power usage between the previous and this generation of Nvidia GPUs. The GTX 1070 is also a more attractive choice for building multi-GPU mining rigs at the moment as compared to the GTX 1080, though you might want to wait a bit more for the non-reference designs to come out that will allow more serious overclocking and thus even better performance.
Recently we have tested the new Nvidia Pascal-based GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition GPU for crypto mining and it is now the time to see what the little brother in the form of GTX 1070 is also capable of. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition is a little stripped down version of the current top model in the form of GTX 1080, but generally the two are not that different. The GPU on the GTX 1070 is a bit less powerful and the memory is regular GDDR5 instead of the GDDR5X used in the 1080. The cooling solution, the backplate, even the 8-pin power connector are the same on both and that should signal a good overclocking potential for the GTX 1070 and the significantly better price makes it the more interesting of the two for crypto mining. Do note that the TDP rating of the GTX 1070 is just 151W and the power limiter allows you for just 12% increase over the stock limit, so you get 169 Watts max without having to resort to something like BIOS modification for example in order to be able to get serious in terms of overclocking. We are going to cover the overclock for the GeForce GTX 1070 and the mining hashrate with OC in a follow up article, for now we are comparing only the performance at stock settings.
We have already discussed the not so good situation with Ethereum mining on the GTX 1080 and unfortunately things are the same with the GTX 1070. Mining Ethereum under Windows is pointless at this point as the hashrate is very low (issue with the video driver) and although this might be fixed at a later time with a driver update, for the moment the only option you have is Linux. The results under Linux are not great though the GTX 1070 apparently does perform better because of the GDDR5 memory even at lower frequencies as compared to the GDDR5X, especially when you overclock the GTX 1070. We are going to be doing some more testing for this under Linux at a later time in order to see what the new Nvidia Pascal-based GPUs are really capable of for mining crypto currencies based on the Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm like Ethereum, but for now we are focusing on the other algorithms.
The results we've got for other popular algorithms besides Ethereum's Ethash are pretty interesting as you can see from our summary in the table. It is interesting to note that the GTX 1070 is a bit faster in all algorithms besides Decred than the GTX 980 Ti and it does it with a significantly lower power usage. Price wise the GTX 1070 is still a bit more expensive than GTX 980 Ti, but the power savings on the long term should more than justify the difference. With that said we should note that the GTX 980 Ti has never been one of the popular Nvidia video cards among miners due to the pretty high price that it has been keeping. Compare to GTX 970 the new GTX 1070 is significantly faster, and the results of the 1070 were not that close to the ones from GTX 1080 as we've hoped they could be. With some overclocking however we expect that the gap in performance between a stock GTX 1080 and the OCed GTX 1070 cloud become pretty insignificant, but that would need some more testing to confirm.
Do note that we have not included results from Lyra2RE and NeoScrypt this time, because with both algorithms the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 did not perform well and would need some optimizations. In fact there is already an optimized version of ccMiner that fixes the performance issues with Lyra2RE that also brings quite big performance boost for older GPUs as well – ccMiner 1.7.6-r6 fork With Faster Lyra2RE, but for Neoscrypt the performance of the Pascal GPUs needs some work.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Calling for an end to "old stereotypes," President Barack Obama on Friday portrayed Mexico as an emerging nation that is remaking itself and said the U.S.-Mexico relationship should be defined by shared prosperity, not by threats both countries face. "It's time to recognize new realities," he declared.
In a speech to a predominantly student audience, Obama conceded that the root of much violence in Mexico is the demand for drugs in the United States, and acknowledged that most guns used to commit crime in this country come from the U.S. But he said an improving economy is changing Mexico and improving its middle class.
"I see it in the deepening of Mexico's democracy, citizens who are standing up and saying that violence and impunity is not acceptable," Obama told several hundred people gathered on a cool, breezy morning in a covered, outdoor plaza at Mexico City's grand National Museum of Anthropology.
RELATED: Immigration top issue for Latinos, key to winning their support
Obama said he is optimistic that the U.S. will change its patchwork of immigration laws. With about 6 million Mexicans illegally in the United States, the issue resonates deeply in Mexico, which also has seen deportations of its citizens from the U.S. rise dramatically under Obama.
Underlying Obama's visit was his desire to persuade the U.S. public and lawmakers that Mexico no longer poses the illegal immigration threat it once did.
"The long-term solution to the challenge of illegal immigration is a growing and prosperous Mexico that creates more jobs and opportunities for young people here," said Obama.
To that end, he called for improving the growing trade relationship between the two countries. Mexico is the second-largest export market for U.S. goods and services. The U.S. also buys more Mexican exports than any other country. Still, the reality of Mexico's economic surge is perhaps not as rosy as Obama portrayed it.
While Mexico's economy has grown, it has yet to trickle down to average workers. Huge poverty rates held steady between late 2006 and 2010, the most recent year for which government statistics are available. Between 40 percent and 50 percent of the population of 112 million Mexicans live in poverty, earning less than $100 a month.
RELATED: Obama meets with Latino groups before heading to Mexico, Costa Rica
Obama also cited Mexico's healthy manufacturing sector as an example of the country's "impressive progress," with new factories turning out TVs and automobiles for foreign markets. But some of that growth is due to the fact that wages largely have stagnated, while China's have risen, making Mexico more of a low-wage paradise.
Mexico's economy grew by about 1 percent in the first three months of the year and the country isn't creating anywhere near the million jobs annually it needs to employ all the young people entering its workforce.
Obama spoke on the second day of his Mexico City visit, peppering his remarks with Spanish phrases, including that he was "entre amigos" or "among friends." He concluded with "Viva Mexico. Viva los Estados Unidos. Que Dios los bendiga" or "Long live Mexico. Long live the United States. May God bless them."
After the speech, he was heading to Costa Rica, where he planned to deliver a blunter message to Central American leaders struggling with weak economies and drug violence. Obama was to meet with Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla before joining leaders from the Central American Integration system. The regional network also includes the leaders of Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.
The U.S. view of the region is that its pervasive violence and security weaknesses are holding back economic growth, and that with fewer Mexicans crossing the border illegally, the rest of the region has become the main source of illegal immigration into the United States.
As a result, Obama is expected to call for stepped up security cooperation, regional economic integration and improvements in human rights and democratic reforms.
"We want to make sure that our hemisphere is more effectively integrated to improve the economy and security of all peoples," Obama said Thursday. "There is a whole range of opportunities, and that will be the purpose of this trip."
Friday's speech came as Obama's popularity in Mexico has risen in recent years and as views of the United States also improve. A Pew Research Center poll in March found that two-thirds of Mexicans have a favorable opinion of the U.S., compared with 44 percent in 2010. About half of Mexicans have confidence that Obama will do the right thing on world affairs, up from 38 percent in 2011.
Still, dozens of migrant families deported from the U.S. even though their children were born there rallied outside the U.S. Embassy before Obama's arrival Thursday. "Obama, don't deport my Mama," one sign said. So far, the Obama administration has deported more than 1.6 million people.
RELATED: Mexicans like Obama and US, but not interested in moving north
For all the attention to commerce and trade, the visit to Mexico — less than two days long — was not designed for major breakthroughs or new initiatives. Indeed, on one of the top economic pacts before them, Obama and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto merely reaffirmed a goal to conclude negotiations this year on a Trans-Pacific Partnership, an Asia-Pacific trading bloc that is key to Obama's efforts to boost exports to Asia.
Both men, however, did announce a new partnership to build on the business relationship with closer cooperation between top officials in Mexico and the U.S., including Vice President Joe Biden.
At a joint news conference Thursday, Obama and Pena Nieto carefully sidestepped potential trouble spots. Obama steered clear of commenting on Pena Nieto's decision to end the broad access that U.S. security agencies have had in Mexico to combat drug trafficking. The decision has alarmed some U.S. officials.
"President Pena Nieto and his team are organizing a vision about how they can most efficiently and effectively address these issues," Obama said. "And we will interact with them in ways that are appropriate, respecting that ultimately Mexico has to deal with its problems internally and we have to deal with ours as well."
For his part, Pena Nieto declined to be drawn into the immigration debate in Washington, a top priority for Obama but one that is at a delicate stage in Congress. Asked to comment, the Mexican president merely acknowledged the efforts under way in Congress.
"Mexico understands that this is a domestic affair for the U.S. and we wish you the best push that you're giving to immigration," he said.
Likewise, Pena Nieto demurred when asked to react to the failure of the U.S. Senate to pass gun control legislation, including an expanded background check for firearms buyers, even though many guns obtained illegally in the U.S. end up in the hands of drug dealers in Mexico.
He said he agreed with Obama's campaign to stem gun violence, but added: "This is a domestic issue in the United States."
Obama vowed to keep pressing for gun legislation, saying: "We recognize we've got obligations when it comes to guns that are oftentimes being shipped down south and contributing to violence here in Mexico."

A Florida man was arrested after he stole more than $90 worth of items from a Walgreens including warming massage oil, energy drinks and condoms, Gainesville police said.
Joel Luis Valles, 28, faces charges of petit theft, possession of a controlled substance and introduction of contraband into county detention facility, the police arrest report said.
He was arrested Thursday after witnesses saw him taking the items -- which also included a flashlight, headphones and a microphone -- in his pockets, police said. The items were taken out of their packaging, and he didn't take them out of his pockets when he paid for a can of soda and cigarettes, the arrest report said.
Meanwhile, police found a drunk, passed out woman in the passenger seat of his car parked outside, they said.
She was an aquaintence of his but had no idea what was going on, according to the report.
Valles allegedly told authorities that he was supposed to meet another girl later on.
Before Valles was booked into jail, he was asked if he had any illegal items on himself, and he answered that he didn't, but officials found a bag with cocaine inside his wallet, the report said.
Police said Valles also initially lied about stealing the items but then admitted that he had done it.
It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney. He was being held on $10,000 bond.

Israel Need Not Fear Isolation
Tuesday, April 22, 2014 | Yossi Aloni ISRAEL TODAY
Israel is fearful that a collapse of peace talks with the Palestinians could result in an international boycott and isolation. In fact, even the Americans have been warning of such an outcome.
But, it is important to remember that Israel has no shortage of loyal friends. Some of those friends recently came to Israel under the banner of the "Friends of Israel Initiative" to hold their annual meeting.
The gathering was addressed by Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz.
More impressive, however, was the list of participants, which included former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar (pictured), former Uruguayan President Luis Alberto Lacalle, former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo, former Italian Foreign Minister Julio Tarazi, former Czech Foreign Minister Karl Schwarzenberg, Nobel laureate and former First Minister of Northern Ireland David Trimble, and the head of British military forces in Afghanistan, Col. Richard Kemp.
The group also met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon and Speaker of the Knesset Yuli Edelstein, who told the Friends of Israel that he hoped they, as distinguished former heads of state and leading politicians, could help explain the truth about Israel.
The Friends of Israel Initiative was established in 2010 to fight against efforts to delegitimize the Jewish state and to reaffirm Israel's right to exist in peace and security alongside its neighbors.
The movement actively opposes any attempts to boycott. Aznar, who is the organization's founder and current chairman, has forged a very friendly relationship with Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders.
In a statement to the Israeli press, Aznar had this to say:
"The [Friends of Israel] Initiative is neither a Public Relations campaign, nor a so-called Jewish lobby. Most of us are not Jewish, but we share the vision - as much one of values as of strategy - that when defending Israel we are defending the West. We are defending our way of life and values, and also our interests.
"Simply put, Europe must defend Israel if we want to preserve the West as we know it. Look at the changes sweeping the region. Uncertainty is the dominant factor. And Israel is both more important to the West today - and more besieged by hostility - than at any time in recent memory.
"Indeed, when considering the full picture of the strategic relationship (including not just diplomacy, but the equally critical realms of security; economy; and science) the close nature of the EU-Israel alliance becomes clear. Not only is Israel's relationship with the EU and its member states closer than commonly portrayed, but, in the final analysis, it represents a strategic asset to the Union and its members."

The battle lines are already forming in Los Angeles for the upcoming election.
The June primary? Nope. The November general election? Wrong again.
Then, what election?
U.S. & World
How about the municipal elections next March.
And therein lies the quiet, yet compelling crisis of voter burnout, fueled in part by never-ending elections.
More than ever, elections and their accompanying campaigns seek our attention virtually ear-round.
That's because municipalities, school districts, and special districts often hold plebiscites at times other than the traditional June primaries and November general elections set aside for state and federal contests.
Not content with either of those dates, Los Angeles has its primary for mayor, the other citywide offices, and half the city council next March 5, followed by the general election on May 21st.
It's even more absurd in San Francisco, where the city attorney and treasurer will be elected in November 2013, while the mayor, district attorney. and sheriff will be elected in November 2015. Meanwhile, half of the Board of Supervisors will be selected this coming November, with the other half in November 2014.
School districts are particularly adept at organizing elections at times when absolutely nothing else is on the ballot. More waste of government funds and people's time.
Not all local elections are organized as "stand alone" events. Sacramento, San Jose and San Diego all fold their contests into the traditional June/November even-year format used for state and federal offices.
Still there are enough elections outside the traditional framework to keep campaign consultants working every day while the voters spin in confusion over which issues and candidacies deserve their attention.
Defenders of "stand alone" elections claim that they allow the voters to focus only on their contests while isolating the event from state and federal issues that could influence the minds of the voters.
Maybe so, but that isolation comes at a great cost.
To begin with, turnout for stand alone elections tends to be much lower than when races are bunched together.
That's because there is not as much reason for voters to participate; there isn't as much at stake.
In addition, the local governments must pick up the tab when their elections are held at times other than the state and federal dates. Whether it's a few hundred thousand dollars in a small town or school district or tens of millions in a large city, that's money that the governing unit could better use elsewhere.
But most of all, there is the question of voter fatigue. With one election blending into the next, there is little time for the voter to think about anything else but elections. That kind of environment can turn off anyone to the thought of political participation.
In an era of information overload, the last thing we need is to feel besieged by never-ending campaigns.
Instead, we should make it easier on the voters by bundling campaigns together at regularly scheduled intervals.
It may not improve the quality of candidates or solve major budget issues, but at least we'll have some peaceful moments to reflect on what we want.

The National Art Education Association (NAEA) Women's Caucus has named Karen Keifer-Boyd, professor of art education and women's studies, recipient of the June King McFee Award, which honors an individual who has made distinguished contributions to the profession of art education with an exceptional and continuous record of achievement in scholarly writing, research, professional leadership, teaching or community service. She will receive the award during the NAEA National Convention in San Diego, March 29-31, 2014.
In his nomination letter, Graeme Sullivan, director of the Penn State School of Visual Arts, notes that Keifer-Boyd's leadership and mentoring have greatly influenced many in art education, thus reflecting the spirit of June King McFee. "Professor Keifer-Boyd's nomination comes at a timely moment when matters of local and global importance are very much part of the debate about the cultural economy, diversity, social justice and the necessity of educational outreach, and these are issues that permeate Karen's writing, teaching and professional service. Furthermore, these are issues and matters of debate and action that characterized the career of June King McFee," he wrote.
Elizabeth M. Delacruz, professor emerita in the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and co-president of the NAEA Women's Caucus, praises Dr. Keifer-Boyd for her recent collaboration with Judy Chicago. "This collaboration has resulted in professional development opportunities for educators and an amazing online repository of feminist educational materials for those not able to travel to a brick and mortar location for professional advancement. Her role as initiator and coordinator of the Judy Chicago Art Education Collection (available at http://judychicago.arted.psu.edu/ ) is nothing less than amazing."
Dr. Keifer-Boyd worked with June King McFee while at the University of Oregon, where she earned her Ph.D. "My commitment is to an art education that builds on the legacy of June McFee, that is, on agency and empowerment for all through research-informed, content-based art and critical reflective transcultural dialogue."
Dr. Keifer-Boyd's articles on feminist pedagogy, Judy Chicago's content-based art pedagogy, visual culture, intertextuality, cyberNet activism art pedagogy, arts-based and action research, transcultural dialogues, CyberHouse, and identity speculative fiction are in more than 45 peer-reviewed research publications, and translated into several languages. In 2005, she co-founded the international multimedia journal Visual Culture and Gender. She has presented at more than 50 international and national conferences, and at universities in Austria, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey and Uganda. She has been honored with many leadership and teaching awards, including 2013 NAEA Distinguished Fellow, 2012 Fulbright Award as Distinguished Chair of Gender Studies at Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt in Austria, 2006 Fulbright Award for research in Finland, and 2005 NAEA Women's Caucus Connors Teaching Award. Dr. Keifer-Boyd served as president of the NAEA Women's Caucus from 2010 to 2012. For more on Dr. Keifer-Boyd, visit her website at http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/k/t/ktk2/ .

text: An alternative pop band from Sacramento, CA, Oleander enjoyed a brief flash of popularity in 1999, when the singles "Why I'm Here" and "I Walk Alone" found a home on mainstream rock radio. The band was originally formed in 1995 by singer/guitarist Thomas Flowers, guitarist Ric Ivanisevich, bassist Doug Eldridge, and drummer Fred Nelson, Jr. Named for the poisonous wildflowers growing throughout the Northern California region, Oleander made their studio debut in 1996 with a self-titled EP; a full-length album, Shrinking the Blob, followed in mid-1997. The latter record launched a local hit with "Down When I'm Loaded," and Oleander parlayed that success into a major-label deal with Universal. February Son arrived in 1999, sporting the two aforementioned singles as well as a new drummer, Scott Devours. February Son reached gold status by mid-2000, and the band's experimental follow-up effort, Unwind, spawned a Top 40 hit ("Champion") in 2001. Unwind failed to gain much traction beyond its one single, however, and Oleander were soon sent packing from the Universal label. Signing with Sanctuary Records instead, they issued Joyride in 2003 and received a strong review from Rolling Stone magazine. The album didn't return Oleander to national popularity, however, and the musicians soon began pursuing different projects, effectively breaking up the band in 2004. ~ Andrew Leahey

Rockbox mail archiveSubject: Re: Sansa (PP502x?) GPIO interrupts in rockbox software
Re: Sansa (PP502x?) GPIO interrupts in rockbox software
From: Michael Sevakis <jethead71_at_sbcglobal.net>
Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 01:14:09 -0400
It looks like HI_MASK = 0x40000000 (bit 30 - same) and GPIO_MASK = 0x40 (bit 6) for the PP5024 since I get a GPIO interrupt with just those bits set. I'll try to work out the rest to get it running.
Yes, the CPU/COP_INT_EN are write only to my understanding. The results of these operations can be evaluated in the CPU/COP_INT_EN_STAT. I have no idea, why on the PP5020 this doesn't work. What I also don't understand is, that beside CPU-/COP-registers there is a third group of unnamed registers (INT_STAT etc).
Yes, I did the same dump for the cpu interrupts, which did not show any anomalies.
The keys definitely change the HI_INT_STAT bit6. So if someone wants to implement key/scrollwheel interrupt handling, the bit6 in the CPU-/COP_HI_INT_EN register should do it.
----- Original Message -----
I find it likely there's some things that must be worked out about the register operation - especially re: the PP5020. Don't you find it odd that frequency scaling requires CPU/COP_INT_EN |= TIMER1_IRQ and not CPU/COP_INT_EN = TIMER1_IRQ to keep timers running? This is of course only supposed to be relevant to PP5020 but a core patch that doesn't bang cpsr constantly finds that IRQs die out and the cores to not wake again in sleep_cores (this really seems to be the reason).
Is this only COP related?
Keys bang cpsr when posting to the message queues via set_irq_level.
Is cpsr really independent on each core? It would seem there's a tie in somehow.
Hopefully this investigation can also help get dual core working on PP5020. Something sounds relevant.
I also noticed from your last bl/fw transition dump that the *_INT_EN registers are sometimes read then written and not just written. Testing a read on them seems to always read zero but that doesn't mean it has no effect.
Another question is: why do interrupts on the COP even read keys? This is not a good condition at all. That code should absolutely be removed. COP_TIMER1 and CPU_TIMER1 and other core specific handlers should be used.
----- Original Message -----
I evaluated the cop interrupts in the current rockbox software:

I only wasted $3.60 then so not much of a loss. Rarely does a new Humble Bundle come out so I'm never really paying out much.
Hopefully the games that are added to the average next week are good.
Knowing our luck, it'll be Trine, Shank, Shank 2, the original Eets, and the rest of Frozenbyte's games.
I bought this, despite my dislike of Phil Fish (and me saying that I would never buy his game, in this same forum, months ago) and I did activate Fez on my Steam account. He only got like 72 cents out of my payment so I don't feel too bad for him. The other people who made the game, though...
eBay Auctions / GameTZ profile / DP Feedback / Youtube / Twitter / RateYourMusic
So, how are Fez and Brutal Legend "indie" games, again? Does "indie" just mean "made by a creator with an ego massive enough to have its own orbit" now?
How I hate it when I've already bought all the games in a bundle. Of course, they were all bought on sale, and I guess it's nice to support the devs, but nonetheless, I hate it when that happens.
I think the original Eets was one of the first games I bought on Steam and never got around to playing, of course.

Thatgamecompany is considered indie, yet they received money from Sony to develop games and Sony has published games for them, games like Shank and Shank 2 were funded and published by EA, among others.
It doesn't mean anything the way it's being used but it's constantly being thrown around, so I've given up and just started calling them indie developers also. Which the way people look at them are developers that aren't big names that have that have multi billion dollar companies behind them.
The other thing is how indie games are praised simply for being indie games, and many indie games in my opinion are merely okay. There hasn't been an indie game that I've played that has interested me as much as most larger budget titles. Indie games were overrated when Microsoft was pulling exclusivity for them, Sony's doing the same and it doesn't make them less overrated.
I really want to complain about Sony because it really makes me want to facepalm because Sony always acts like this about everything they start promoting. Regardless if they're the first ones to the party or not, it's like they drop everything else and promote what we don't give a shit about. Right now it's indie this, indie that, here's an indie there's an indie, everywhere there's a fucking indie. They did it with Vita when the system just came out and they forced touch controls on us on literally every single game even if it was something that could do without touch controls, or if there were perfectly good standard controls they could have used as alternate controls. Last but not least, they did it with the Move when it was first introduced, going out of the way to develop and try to shove shit like Wonderbook down everyones throats when clearly we didn't give a damn. It'd be nice if sometimes Sony would get a fucking clue.
This is the reason the Vita is failing. They had someone talking to third party developers to get games for Vita and asked the fanbase what we wanted. Instead of listening to what the fans wanted to see, hey, here's yet another fucking indie game we didn't ask for to be ported from the PS3 to Vita. No retail games to put on shelves and get some more sales. To show developers the system is actually selling so they'll be more inclined to not release just ports all day every day on it. Now they have this third party development and localization team. A company within Sony. What's the first two games they're developing to put on the Vita? Borderlands 2 and Epic Mickey 2. Two games no one gives two shits about because if we did, we'd play them on the PS3 or 360. Once again ignoring the very loud fanbase who constantly request games like Final Fantasy Type 0, the Tales games, and many other Japanese games that Americans would actually like yet haven't been localized over here. It's like they completely ignore what their fans ask them for. It took Nintendo quite awhile, but even they listened to their fans with Xenoblade atleast, and guess what. The game sold well so Nintendo is developing X for the Wii U. There's a reason shit doesn't sell well when you bring your fans something we don't even fucking ask for.
Okay. Rant over. Went from indies over to how Sony is being fucking stupid, because right now all they're thinking of is indie bullshit.
No offense to indie devs, because while your games are decent. They're decent. That's it. They don't offer the value most full retail games do when it comes to gameplay. Some games do or look like they do. Most don't. As interested as I was in Retro City Rampage for example, I finally started to play it a while ago and the game is incredibly boring. The guy put a lot of work into it sure, but the only thing I really liked about the game was the Bit.Trip mini game in the arcade. The missions were poorly done, you could see where the dialogue tried to be funny by making references that most of us would notice, but the dialogue just sucked and was yet another mark against the game, and killing pedestrians and cops became immediately boring. It's like the dev tried too hard to introduce NES style graphics and 80s references that he forgot to add a good game.
I own Duke Nukem on GOG as well, but this is the "Megaton Edition". And Shadow Warrior's worth tacking onto the backlog as well.

A lot of people weren't too impressed with the new Jagged Alliance; that's why they kickstarted a project to make something more like the original.

In for $1 for the Supreme Commander games.
Also curious if you guys know what this game is. It was released between 1997-2000 I think. Could be later though. Realtime strategy game in 3D for PC where you had mechs and stuff. I remember there was a demo of it that came with a PC magazine that had a Final Fantasy 7 demo on the same disc.
They're not in 3D but it could have been MechCommander or Earth 2140 back then. Any other games released in this time period that were like that?
Titans of Steel, maybe?
Or just Steel Soliders?

Tracy and Lanny Barnes entered last weekend's IBU Cup event in Italy competing for the last open spots on the U.S. Olympic biathlon team. But Lanny fell ill and wasn't able to participate in three of the four races, and landed just outside the cutoff to make the squad—just behind Tracy. The next morning, Tracy announced that she would decline her Olympic spot, a decision that will send Lanny to Sochi.
In an email to friends and family, via the Durango Herald, Tracy wrote:
"Yesterday I was named to the Olympic Team! I cannot think of any greater honor in the world, save one. ... (Lanny) is having a stellar year and I for one want to see where she can take it ... what heights she can climb to."
The Barneses, who have been training together for 15 years, competed together in the 2006 Torino games, but only Lanny qualified for Vancouver in 2010. Lanny's the better of the pair, and likely would have placed ahead of Tracy if she hadn't gotten sick over the weekend.
"It's a remarkable thing, even for a sister," Max Cobb, president of U.S. Biathlon, told 3 Wire Sports, "even for a twin sister, to be selfless enough to understand that another athlete would have a better opportunity to perform at the Games."
The sisters are 31, making this likely the last chance either has to compete in an Olympics. How did Lanny take the news?
"I told her," Tracy said, "I had something to tell her."
She added, "Of course she protested."
There were tears. A lot. On both sides.
A lovely little story, replete with Olympic spirit and whatnot. But I can't help but wonder: As identical twins, couldn't they have pulled the old switcheroo and both competed in Sochi?

According to an American Planning Association poll, Americans want sidewalks, transit, and locally owned businesses.
What's most important to economic development in your community? Better transit, thriving local businesses, more affordable housing?
Community plans are a key component in bringing those ideas to life. According to a new poll from the American Planning Association, Americans agree. Two-thirds of the 1,300 Americans surveyed said that their community needs both planning and market forces to improve its economic situation.
When asked if a community plan - defined as a "process that seeks to engage all members of a community to create more prosperous, convenient, equitable, healthy and attractive places for present and future generations" - would benefit the community, 79 percent of respondents agreed. And that's across a broad political spectrum with 88 percent of Democrats, 77 percent of Republicans, and 81 percent of independents in agreement.
Respondents were also asked to rank the top five factors that make up an "ideal community." The results:
- Locally owned businesses nearby
- Being able to stay in the same neighborhood while aging
- Availability of sidewalks
- Energy-efficient homes
- Availability of transit
When asked to compare life for residents in their communities to five years earlier, an overwhelming number of respondents (84 percent) said that life was worse (49 percent) or the same (35 percent). Only 11 percent felt that living in their community was better than it was five years ago.
It's worth noting that there's a significant gap in this statistic depending on where people live. In urban areas, 40 percent of residents said their community is getting worse, while the percentage gradually increased in suburbs (45 percent), rural areas (58 percent), and small towns (65 percent).
"Planners are at the forefront of building communities that foster economic growth and create jobs. We're working to add value to communities around the country, and this poll confirms that our expertise is aligned with the priorities of most Americans," APA Chief Executive Officer Paul Farmer wrote in a statement.
This graphic breaks down the numbers:

By Milind Bhise, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Riverbed
July 05, 2017 -- Public-cloud providers have grown in popularity over the past decade, and enterprise adoption of cloud services and infrastructure has exploded. According to the 2017 Rightscale Survey, a remarkable 85 percent of organizations have a strategy for using multiple clouds. These enterprises have been focused on digital transformation for the past five years and are generally feeling enthusiastic about where they are.
However, it might not be time to pop the champagne just yet. Many of those with cutting-edge cloud computing strategies have networks that are stuck back in the early 2000s, which means they won't be able to unlock the superior speed and performance promised by the cloud. Gartner expects that 50 percent of cloud deployments will suffer from business-impacting performance issues, requiring extensive network redesign.
Software-Defined WAN Reshapes Networking Strategies
As enterprise networks become more complex and unpredictable — stemming from increased mobility, cloud technology, the proliferation of applications and multiple app delivery models — IT departments struggle to react. To keep up, IT needs to fundamentally rethink its approach to networking.
Software-defined wide area networking has emerged as the key to the future of the enterprise network while enabling companies to take advantage of what the cloud has to offer. Unlike traditional WAN technologies, SD-WAN decouples the network and the control plane and utilizes a software-defined approach, making it easier to adapt to the changing demands of application delivery and user productivity.
While SD-WAN technologies are relatively new, they are being adopted at a breakneck pace, with IDC forecasting that the SD-WAN market will grow to $6 billion by 2020. The technology offers multiple advantages to the enterprise:
How to Pick the Right SD-WAN Solution
Once you understand the benefits an SD-WAN solution can bring to the enterprise, how do you go about actually selecting one from the growing vendor landscape?
When assessing SD-WANs, it's important to weigh individual features and benefits against the broader capabilities that the offering must deliver to fulfill the promise of reduced complexity and better speed and performance.
Those broader capabilities can be categorized as central management, global orchestration and remote deployment.
SD-WAN technology will offer ever more benefits as it evolves. As you embrace the cloud, it is imperative that you rethink your approach to networking to align it to the cloud era.
Device-centric and command line-driven networking approaches defeat the advantages of the cloud.
SD-WAN not only will increase your business agility and performance but also will do so at a reduced cost. And an ideal SD-WAN solution will help you to unlock the power and agility of the cloud.

Participants in the $3.7 trillion municipal bond market that finances schools, roads and other projects are likely watching in dismay as some of their investments go down the sewer, literally.
The costly sewage system revamp in Jefferson County, Ala., looks like a raw deal for muni debt holders who, for the first time, according to Bloomberg, will be forced to accept a loss of principal.
The Southern state's largest county, encompassing the Birmingham metropolitan area, filed a 101-page consensus-based plan in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Sunday that includes a cut of $1.2 billion in principal payments to holders of sewer-related debt.
The Birmingham Business Journal quotes David Carrington of the Jefferson County Commission, which approved the plan, as saying the result reflects a hard-fought consensus between the county and its creditors:
"All of the various sewer creditors (the monoline insurance companies, the liquidity banks, the hedge funds, and particularly JPMorgan) will be getting far less than a full recovery. Every part of the settlement is the product of very intense, hard-fought, arms-length negotiations."
Should the plan win court approval, which Carrington considers likely following long negotiations since the county's recording-setting $4.2 billion insolvency filing, the county will refinance its sewer debt, raise sewer fees on ratepayers and exit bankruptcy.
Not all participants will receive the same haircut. Hedge funds, who will participate in refinancing the county's debt, will collect more than 80 cents on the dollar, Bloomberg reports, while JPMorgan will collect just $375 million of the $1.84 billion it is owed.
The New York bank was implicated in a number of questionable deals in an apparent bid to win the county's underwriting business, settling the case with the SEC in 2009 while neither admitting nor denying wrongdoing. County officials involved in the matter went to prison.
The Jefferson County case is one of several high-profile municipal bankruptcies that must be giving investors pause in recent years. Stockton, Calif.'s Chapter 9 filing last year made it the biggest municipality in history to go bust, though its $700 million debt load is dwarfed by Jefferson County's $4.2 billion debt.
Now the city of Detroit looks set to dwarf both those records, with a 700,000-plus population more than twice the size of Stockton's and a debt load of more than $18 billion that the city's appointed emergency manager is seeking to negotiate with creditors.
In an interview with AdvisorOne last week, Morningstar municipal credit analyst Elizabeth Foos said muni bond investors may be in danger of losing the front-of-the-line creditor position that such investors have historically assumed.
"By calling general obligation bonds unsecured debt, [emergency manager Kevyn Orr] puts it on par with pension liabilities and retiree health care," she said. "That begs the question of how much risk is really associated with general obligation unlimited tax debt in the state of Michigan."
