Coronation Street, Monday 27th February at 7.30pm
Watch the preview video here
SIMON TELLS LEANNE THAT CARLA'S HITTING HIM. The atmosphere in the flat is tense as Peter's caught between Carla and his son. Over at the pub Leanne's pained as she watches Simon leave with Peter but sticking to her guns she tells Stella she's here to get what she needs and go. As Leanne lets herself into the flat she's stunned to find Carla there and an almighty row ensues. Having forced Carla out and collected her things Leanne's heading for a taxi when Simon arrives home and spots her. Rushing over he pleads with Leanne to stay. It breaks her heart and when Ken reveals he's had to bring him home from school early as his behaviour's been intolerable Leanne knows she has to talk to him. It's emotional as she explains to Simon that while she loves him she can't stay and he has to be good for Peter and Carla. But when Simon accuses Carla of being drunk and hitting him how will Leanne react?
SALLY SMELLS A RAT ABOUT FRANK'S DODGY DEALINGS. When Frank gets a mystery call then snaps at Sally for asking who it was she's put out by his erratic behaviour. When he then snaps his laptop shut as she comes near Sally's suspicions grow and with Frank out of the way takes a look. But when Frank walks in and asks what she's playing at Sally's fearful. How will Frank react and what has she seen?
TRACY HAS AN IDEA TO GET BACK AT STEVE. As Tracy locks horns with Beth again she decides it's time to wipe the smile off Steve's face. Admitting to Beth that she's resigned to losing Steve as he obviously wants her she encourages Beth to go for her man.
Elsewhere Owen builds bridges with Anna, Faye and Katy. Gail is less than impressed as Lewis enjoys a last supper at the Bistro before his appearance in court.
Monday 27th February at 8.30pm
SIMON'S LIES MAKE LEANNE RECONSIDER MOVING AWAY. At the factory Leanne launches herself at her nemesis. An amused Frank watches as the girls separate them and Leanne goes, warning Carla to stay way from Simon. Shaken Carla turns to drink. Back at the Rovers Leanne promises Simon she'll never let Carla hurt him again. But when Peter arrives he insists Carla hasn't done anything and urges Simon to tell the truth. Eventually they coax the truth out of him but when Simon admits he made it up to get rid of Carla it breaks Peter's heart. As he takes his son home Leanne's conflicted, she sees herself as Simon's mum and he needs her. Can she bring herself to leave him again?
FRANK CONVINCES SALLY THEY HAVE A ROSY FUTURE. When Frank hears about Karl's run in with Peter over the unstamped betting slip he calls in a mate, suggesting he investigate how the bookies is being run. Meanwhile Sally's been investigating Frank and he's forced to come clean about his plans for the factory - to go international by outsourcing the work. Sally reels as she asks what this means for her and the girls!
BETH SETS HER SIGHTS ON STEVE. Beth has asked Steve round to look at the broken boiler. He can't find anything wrong with it but the penny drops when Beth stands seductively in his path. Will Steve be able to avoid her advances?
Elsewhere Owen and Faye bond as they pimp out the pond but will it bring Owen and Anna back together? After enjoying an expensive meal at the Bistro Gail is convinced that Lewis will leg it but is he really a changed character?

Kind of disappointed in Leanne. Although she has been hit broadside by Carla and Peter's affair, she was willing to leave without saying anything to Simon - if she truly loved him she would have sucked it up and stayed for his sake.

Red Sox manager Ben Cherington said Jacoby Ellsbury (shoulder) could rejoin the team by the first week of July at the earliest.
It's really a rough timetable, as Ellsbury has yet to resume baseball-related activities, and we won't have a better idea about his status until that happens. The range of motion in his shoulder has improved, but all he's done is weight-bearing exercises to this point.

WSC Sweeps Snowmass
by Gavin Thompson, Intercollegiate Club Sports Staff Writer
Western's Nordic Ski team swept the competition at their race at Owl Creek in Snowmass last weekend February 12-13.
Leading Western to victory in the men's division was Mountaineer Scott Krankalla who won both the ski skate and classic races taking home the championship podium spot for Western in both events.
Also skiing a tremendous race leading Western in the women's division was Lady Mountaineer Jamie Woelk who won both USCSA events at the competition.
Following his teammate Krankalla in the men's division was skier Chris Lange who took 2nd place in the classic race and 3rd place in the ski skate race.
Continuing Western's streak of success was skier Tom Sunderland who took 3rd place in the classic race and 2nd in the ski skate race.
During the endurance races Western continued to make their presence known to the competition.
During the endurance event called the citizens' race Krankalla out-skied his opponents again taking 2nd place overall.
Also excelling at the endurance events in the women's division was Woelk who took 5th overall in the women's citizens' race.
Finishing the weekend for Western's Nordic team was Lange who took 7th at the citizen's race. Also skiing hard for Western were competitors Ansel Schimpff who took 7th at the classic race and Sage Smith who took 35th in the classic race.
According to Western's Nordic Coach Duncan Callahan the whole event went very well for Western. "They all skied great compared to the field as well on Sunday in the 21km skate" Callahn said.
The Nordic team's success has been recurring this season as they have taken the podium at no lower than 3rd place every competition they have been to so far this season sweeping the competition at Grand Mesa and at Crested Butte.
Western's Nordic team hopes to continue their victory streak as they travel to the Air Force Invitational at Fort Lewis on February 26.

The Labor Department said Thursday that first-time claims for unemployment benefits dipped below 400,000 last week for the first time in four months.

Classic Plymouth Cars
Plymouth cars have not been produced since 2001, but when they were in their prime, Plymouth was a beloved brand - and, it still is by many classic car enthusiasts today. Learn a bit here about the background history of the Plymouth company while you're browsing classic Plymouth cars for sale.
Plymouth was founded officially in 1928 as a subdivision of Chrysler; Chrysler was created prior to 1928. Later, Chrysler merged with Daimler to become DaimlerChrysler, who is now DaimlerAG. DaimlerAG is based in Europe, and some say Plymouth's fall is credited to DaimlerChrysler not being more concerned with the American Plymouth cars of Chrysler.
Chrysler originally intended for Plymouth cars to be more affordable than other cars Chrysler produced. The first Plymouths were the Model U and the Plymouth 4, the latter of which was based on the Chrysler 4. Plymouth cars stood out from other cars of its time by offering expanding hydraulic breaks. Because their cars were lower priced than others, Plymouth helped Chrysler stay in business during the Depression.
The Plymouth PA came out in 1931 with rubber engine mounts that were quite innovative for its time. One of the most popular Plymouth models ever was the 1935 Plymouth PJ, with its revamped frame, six-cylinder engine, and a water distribution tube that facilitated cooling.
After World War II, Plymouth came out with the Cranbrook, Cambridge, and Suburban, all of which were "chunky and tall" unlike other models popular at the time which were "long, lean, and low." Plymouth continued to do well up until the 1950s, when there were some criticisms regarding careless framework and rust problems; also, they were directly competing with Dodge cars at the time, and had little to stand out from their competitors.
In 1964, Plymouth jumped on the pony car bandwagon with the Barracuda. During the 1960s, Chrysler attempted to rebrand Dodge as the alternative to Plymouth. Unfortunately, Plymouth cars still continued to decline in sales compared to Dodge.
In the 1970s, partially because of the fuel crisis at the time, Chrysler experienced financial troubles that trickled down to Plymouth. Even with the introduction of the Caravelle and the Sundance in the 1980s, Plymouth was already on its way downhill.
The 1998 Pronto Cruiser was originally supposed to be a Plymouth, but ended up being a Chrysler, thus foreshadowing Plymouth's demise. In 1999, it was announced that Plymouth would be discontinued in 2001.
Because they are no longer in production, Plymouth cars for sale are truly beloved, classic cars, that car buffs come back to again and again.

Intel driver tweak adds vertex shaders to old IGPs
Vertex Shader 3.0 support in hardware
Intel has quietly rolled out support for hardware acceleration of Vertex Shader 3.0 calculations in a range of its integrated graphics chipsets, including the Q963, G965, 945G and the mobile GM965.
The release of the new Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) driver, version 14.31, came earlier this month and was prompted by the launch of the G35 chipset. The driver was previously updated in April.
The update allows a range of titles - including Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, CoD 2, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Ghost Recon to be played on the G965 at "acceptable frame rates", according to Mike Abel, an Intel Product Marketing Engineer. Abel didn't say what his definition of acceptable is, but the results look reasonably smooth:
Can't see a video? You need to get FlashPlayer from Adobe
Up until now, these games could not be played on the chipsets like the G965 because they require hardware-accelerated vertex shader processing, and the G965 and earlier integrated chipsets didn't support it.
Intel said this feature could be added through a driver update because of its GMA architecture: it uses unified shader-style "execution engines", so it's just a matter of programming some of these to handle vertex processing rather than pixel texturing. Intel claimed this approach allows it to boost graphics performance by simply upping the number of execution units and/or increasing the graphics core's clock frequency.
Other games benefit too: Far Cry, for example, will see a 1.5-2x increase in frame rates, to the "low 20s", Abel said.
Not a score to impress hardcore PC gamers, perhaps, but Intel said it's a good result for casual gamers who want to play modern titles but don't necessarily want to spend money on top-of-the-line hardware.
Initially targetting Windows XP and Windows 2000, the driver will be updated for Windows Vista in due course, Intel told us this weekend.
The 14.31 driver release is available from Intel's website here.
Graphics Media Accelerator
These latest drivers appear to remove support for the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA). This product was discontinued at the end of January 2007 but the GMA drivers were pillaged of their support for the 900 series in this same month.
It's nearly as bad as Microsoft and Intel's pact to disable Aero graphics under Windows Vista for no valid reason!
Hear, hear. After having gone through the frustrating process of coaxing the Linux Intel driver to even get my screen resolution right, I'm going to be paying attention to the state of that driver if and when I upgrade to a new laptop, and avoid Intel video if the issues with that driver haven't been fixed.
Will we see it in Linux
When will these driver changes be made available in the (now open source) Linux driver for intel? If at all.
This is a far more important question than what it can do on windows. Linux needs this stuff daily in the world of compiz-fusion.
And now for something Completely Different...but Moreish.
Whenever the Drivers Fly into Passionate Porn rather than Mindless Violence and IT Adolescence will Interest be Beta Rewarded with Imagination's Pleasures and Treasures such as would be SeXXXXual Shock and Awe Pioneers. Elite Troupes in AI dDeeply Embedded Private Enterprise.
Presently the Markets appear only to Server themselves with ever evolving Debt rather than Fund the Providers of Future Needs and Feeds, and that is Short Sighted in a Long View Game........ hence the HyperVision Layer for Virtualisation of Serial Parallel Processor Output for Simplified Control Input to Output Communication.
And that is as close to Man/Machine Convergence as makes no difference.
AIVM....Artificially Intelligent Virtual Machines ....... or XXXXStream Programming in a QuITe Alien Discipline for Global Operating Devices ..... a Universal Voice Acceptable to All and One.
IT is Work Well in Progress, though. :-)
Register keeps you Posted and a Head in the Game.
Third-party manufacturers
Gah. I hate Lenovo. They are still suck on the 14.10 version of the driver. Considering 14.29 has been available for some time, I can't see me getting this nice update for quite some time. Why can't Intel just release it to everyone???

European Union's open source licence to become compatible with GPLv3
Posted Dec 19, 2012 9:15 UTC (Wed) by oliv3r (guest, #86764) [Link]
GPLv3.1 with EU compatibility would have been better.
What GPL/EU compatibility is needed?
Posted Dec 19, 2012 10:18 UTC (Wed) by coriordan (guest, #7544) [Link]
One motivation for the EUPL is that many governments cannot publish software under a licence that isn't one of their official languages. With the EUPL, the Swedish government can use the Swedish version, and downstream recipients can change the software to GPLv3. In that way, the EUPL can work as a shim, much easier than trying to translate the GPL into 23 languages.
Translating the GPL was considered during the GPLv3 process, but the stakes are enormous, and with licences like the EUPL and CeCILL which can act as a shim, translating the GPL isn't so important.
Posted Dec 19, 2012 16:11 UTC (Wed) by Tov (guest, #61080) [Link]
Being a EU citizen it makes me sad. Enormous resources are spent on translation - just because certain countries are too proud to adopt English as a common working language. (No, I am not a native English speaker neither). Furthermore the language issue is the prime symbol of the unwillingness to compromise on irrational national interests.

Unless I'm mistaken, the licensing terms are supposed to be useful to both the developper AND the user. There is something like "if you don't agree with the licensing terms, then you are not allowed to use that software" (that's still true with the GPL or with any FOSS license). Now, if a user is not able to read the license, how can he accept it?
Posted Jan 7, 2013 14:49 UTC (Mon) by ekj (guest, #1524) [Link]
Indeed, the GPL says so explicitly. Quote: "Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted"
That is, you do *NOT* need to agree to the GPL in order to use the software, or indeed to do anything permitted under copyright-law. The GPL in effect says: "You don't have to agree with any of this - but *if* you agree, you get a set of additional rights, including the right to distribute, copy and modify the software"
Posted Jan 7, 2013 15:56 UTC (Mon) by cortana (subscriber, #24596) [Link]
In the US, or everywhere?

It's true that a few jurisdictions have insane definitions of "copying" that makes even transient copies, such as those exisint in RAM of a program executed from the hard-disc "copies" in the copyright-sense. In those jurisdictions, you require a permission from the copyright-holder to run a program, because running it includes making copies of it.
More sane jurisdictions discount such temporary functional copies from their definition of "copy" and no permission is required.
However: even in those jurisdictions where you -do- need permission to run a program, it is quite clear that the GPL grants you this permission.

Would you call installation of the software package on the hard disk a "transient copy", or are you talking of live DVD distributions where someone else did the DVD copy?

I find the model of copyright used here in Norway to be fairly reasonable, with the exception that the protection-time is MUCH too long.
Here, such incidental copies that are required for the normal use of a legally aquired work, are allowed. This includes installing software from a DVD onto a hard-disc, loading that program into RAM, and also taking a complete backup of a machine with the program installed. (all of these things fall under "normal use")
But all this is nitpicking - and nitpicking that by its nature is jurisdiction-specific. Even if you're unlucky enough to live somewhere where you do need permission to use a program you legally aquired, then that's still not a problem because the GPL grants such a permission. In practical terms it's impossible to break the GPL by making multiple copies of the software for your own use -- what would you do: refuse to give yourself the sourcecode ?
In short, unless you distribute GPLed software - or derivative works, you don't need to agree to anything in particular to use the software for anything you like.

Are you saying that in Norway, if you completely break the GPL license (for instance by incorporating GPL source code inside your closed source product, pretending that you have written it all yourself, and selling that software), then you still have the right to use the initial GPL software, because: - the copy of the GPL software you have downloaded from a FTP server has been created on your own hard drive by the FTP server and not by yourself - the copy in /usr/bin resulting on the installation of the .deb/.rpm is "normal use" - the copy in memory at execution time is also "normal use"? Is it fairly reasonable?
Posted Jan 9, 2013 11:43 UTC (Wed) by ekj (guest, #1524) [Link]
But of course, the copyright-holder could sue you for illegally distributing a derived work from your FTP-server.
Those are two entirely distinct questions:
1) Can you legally *use* this software that you legally downloaded from wherever ? Yes you can.
2) Can you legally distribute copies of it, or works that are derived from it, without the permission of the copyright-holder ? No you can not.

If we're going to adopt "a european language" I would much rather adopt that OTHER international language, which also happens to be the most widely spoken first language in Europe! Any ideas which one?
Actually, it's a language group, rather than a language, but it's Romance, or as we could call it "modern latin". When you add together all those people whose native language is a derivative of latin, it is the most common language, outnumbering the germanic languages combined, or the slav languages combined.
As for English, Finnish, Hungarian, (French?) they hardly register!
My personal preference, actually, would be to select those major language groups (English, French, Germanic, Romance, Slav) and say that all official texts must be in one language from each group. It is up to the proposer to provide those official translations, and then every country can translate into their own specific language. And if there is a dispute as to meaning, the country that provided the original document has to use the translation, not the original! (For other disputes, the original would trump.)
Oh - by the way - I am a native Brit who's only Romance language is school latin (though I do speak German, French and Russian).
Cheers, Wol
Ok, the subject has changed to language policy now
Posted Dec 19, 2012 18:22 UTC (Wed) by coriordan (guest, #7544) [Link]
The problem with picking a language group (English is a Germanic language and French is a Romance language) is that even native-speakers within those groups can't understand each other, let alone speak and write the other languages.
I speak two Germanic languages, but I can't understand German, and I speak one and a half Romance languages but I can't understand Italian.
> then every country can translate into their own specific language
Who pays? If the country pays, then it's unfair because very little will be published in, say, Dutch, so the Dutch speakers (who form 1.5 medium-sized countries) will have to pay higher translation costs than the English- or German-speakers (who form much larger economies and could better afford such costs).
Or should the EU pay? In that case you've just recreated the current situation whereby everything is translated into every language and the EU pays.
There is no simple answer: language policy will always provide oodles of fun :-)

I like very much the Arab model: a private language (e.g. Moroccan) to speak at home and with friends, and an official lingua franca used in formal communications, classic Arab. It used to be this way in Europe with Latin, but it fell out of fashion many centuries ago. A pity, but to tell the truth Latin grammar was hellish.

This was the basic reasoning behind Esperanto, which is supposed to be easy to learn as a second language. The idea was that, for reasons of politics and national pride, we would never get everybody to standardise on one single global language, so it would make sense to have an »auxiliary language« to be used if you had no other language in common.
This sounds great in theory, but in practice there is both huge inertia and a chicken-egg problem (nobody wants to go first but unless there is lots of buy-in the advantages don't really come to play). Think of Esperanto (and other similar languages) as the Dvorak keyboard of languages.
Posted Dec 20, 2012 11:50 UTC (Thu) by andresfreund (subscriber, #69562) [Link]
Its even harder, more like converting your entire company to Dvorak before you're allowed to use it on your own hardware.

So bring it on, Latin as the choice for the global language wouldn't be so bad.

Also, not all languages have lost it - German retains quite a bit of Latin gender system and somewhat reduced case system.
>Having a full degree of freedom in such a basic mechanism of grammar does not make it easy for speakers of highly positional languages. I come from the other direction - fixed order of words is not such a big deal.

People's desire and ability to speak English vary greatly depending on their social class, native language, employment sector, age, etc. Excluding the people who happen to have poor English is very undemocratic.
...and then there's immigrants. If someone moves to Sweden, do they have to learn Swedish? English? or both? And people with learning difficulties, do they also have to learn English in addition to their native language?
I'm a big fan of multilingualism, but governments can't require it.

We are talking about software here. This means English. Democracy has nothing to do wit this. it's just history. For ballet you need French, for medicine you need Latin and for software you need English—or else trying to create community is pretty hard (look on things like Nginx or Ruby: they only become big when they finally accepted this fact).
This may be "undemocratic" and "unfair" but that's life.
And if you need to write all the documents (or at least all the important ones) in English anyway then using English license is not such a big problem.
I don't know where to draw the line
Posted Dec 19, 2012 19:15 UTC (Wed) by coriordan (guest, #7544) [Link]
I agree that developer communities can choose whatever lingua franca they want, and most choose English.
But governments have a duty of democracy and inclusivity for all citizens.
So I think language requirements aren't absurd. But I don't know where to draw the line in order to require governments to communicate to their citizens in an official language, but at the same time not block those governments from contributing to GPL'd projects. Hmmm....

Besides, there are plenty of software-related projects that aren't run in English, including ones that specifically target users that need stuff in their own language (things like localisation projects for applications). It's not for any of us to tell people in such projects to learn English, especially if they're getting on well enough not knowing any.

Reality is that most people are completely unable to read and understand, even approximately, the implications of your average EULA. You need excellent abstract reasoning, and a *firm* grasp of the legalese subvariant of english - as well as several hours time to even have a chance.
The rational choice is to ignore the EULA completely and click "Accept".
This is what the overwhelming majority of computer-users do. And it's a rational choice.
Sure, you *could* spend thousands of hours of your life reading, and trying to comprehend EULAs, including all the implications of the text in them. But doing so would be a massive waste of time, and it's highly unlikely that any gain you'd have from doing so would be outweighed by the benefits.

Telling the user that free software and culture is great is something totally different because it shouldn't involve licenses.
Usually companies do not want their customers to understand end-user agreements and TOS and such things because otherwise the customer would understand that the company does not care about the interests of the customer at all. Perhaps http://tos-dr.info/ will be able to help. (Yes there are exceptions, like unusually understandable TOS, free software companies, companies that try hard to behave in ethical ways, etc. But those are not the majority.)
If one were to turn the tos-dr.info concept top down and templateize and modularize TOS (that would be the DSL aproach to law) only the templates and related documentation need to be translated once. But I guess the majority of lawyers would probably fight something like this like their lives depended on it, because their profit depends on it.

European Union's free software licence to become compatible with GPLv3
Posted Dec 19, 2012 21:11 UTC (Wed) by coriordan (guest, #7544) [Link]
And by extension, having GPLv3 in the Appendix is probably also good for the image of GPLv3 in the eyes of the public sector.
Another vanity license. Ugh.
Posted Dec 19, 2012 22:39 UTC (Wed) by david.a.wheeler (guest, #72896) [Link]
Sigh, yet another vanity license.
I'm glad that the EU is working to make their license GPL-compatible. As I explain in Make Your Open Source Software GPL-Compatible. Or Else., while you don't need to release software under the GPL, releasing open source software under a GPL-incompatible license is almost always a foolish decisions. The reason a government would release software as OSS is usually because they're trying to encourage collaboration. Using a license incompatible with the most popular OSS license, instead of using an industry-standard license, is simply a bad decision. My industry-standard list would be MIT, BSD 3-clause (and 2-clause), Apache 2.0, LGPL, GPL. Maybe the MPL 2.0.
License proliferation is a serious problem. I hope the EU avoids it, instead of making it worse. The EU should update their license to make it GPL-compatible... and then tell people to stop using it, and use an industry-standard license instead.
Another vanity licence. But maybe the least-worst
Posted Dec 19, 2012 23:02 UTC (Wed) by coriordan (guest, #7544) [Link]
It's also indirectly compatible with all current and future versions of the GPL because you can also relicense to the CeCILL licence, and that licence allows relicensing to any version of the GPL.
It's a pity it took so long for direct GPLv3 compatibility to be added, and it would be better if the EU would simply (and clearly) endorse the GPL, but this licence's relicensing clause makes it one of the least harmful in terms of licence incompatibility and generally making licensing more complex.
Plus, it does address at least one real problem: governments being required to use licences in their national language(s). In this sense, it might even reduce licence proliferation because this one licence in all EU languages means that national governments have no necessity to write their own licences. (Or it might have the opposite effect if national governments think "Oh, an own free software licence, what a good idea, let's write one too".)

Nerium oleander (Rose Laurel, Oleander)
I tried to recall its Korean name but its could not. I shot the ball to the water. Still cannot remember the name. But took a picture of it.
Now I have this in my office. The first photo on the left is taken with close-up ring (Extension ring).
March 2000
According to TIME-LIFE Encyclopedia: Nerium oleander and varieties (oleander) A fast-growing plant that may reach 12 feet or more, oleander bears single or double flowers that are white, yellow, pink or red, depending on the variety, and bloom from spring throughout the summer. All parts of the plant are poisonous. Oleanders need little care, withstand heat and dryness and serve equally well as ornamental shrubs or screens.

Oh yes, he did. Lil' Wayne stomped repeatedly on an American flag. But before you get all judgy about it, you should know that he meant no disrespect. He didn't mean to "desecrate the flag of the United States of America" … he was simply filming a new music video. And sometimes … in the pursuit of true art … treasonous shit happens.
Earlier today, some unfortunate video footage popped up on the Internet showing Wayne shooting the video for the song "God Bless Amerika" from his newest album. The video shows Weezy performing outdoors in front of a huge American flag, which drops down to show a crowd of people. (It's symbolism, y'all … those people hanging out behind the flag are Amerika, with a K.)
The problem is that after the flag drops to the ground, Wayne stomps around on top of it.

Ed DeMarco, Acting Director, Federal Housing Finance Agency: Virtually every homeowner in the country has suffered a loss in the crisis; the majority were playing by the rules but became the victims of timing, or circumstance or poor judgment.
Ed DeMarco, Acting Director, Federal Housing Finance Agency: Should Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac employ principal reduction, policies will have to be transparent and clearly described to ensure rules are applied consistently and fairly.
Ed DeMarco, Acting Director, Federal Housing Finance Agency: This is a debate about the tools we can use to balance two goals—maximizing assistance to a fraction of the nation's underwater borrowers while minimizing costs to taxpayers.
Keynote address by (and question and answer session with) Ed DeMarco, acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, with introductory remarks from Karen Dynan.
Karen Dynan and Ted Gayer
Panel discussion on addressing the weak housing market, with Mark Fleming, Paul Nikodem, Anthony Sanders, and Andrew Jakabovics, and moderated by Ted Gayer.

The housing market remains weak years after the bursting of the housing bubble and despite numerous administration policies targeted at housing. Prices are still falling, foreclosures are proceeding, and many people have houses valued at less than the principal owed on their mortgages. Although some recent signs have been slightly more encouraging, the economic recovery has been, and continues to be, impeded by weakness in the housing market.
Some policymakers have been calling for federal regulators to push Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to do principal reduction for borrowers whose house is worth less than what they owe on their mortgages. Is principal reduction the way to finally get the housing market back on its feet? What, if any, would be the cost to taxpayers? What should the future of housing finance look like and what is needed to prepare Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for changes ahead? On April 10, the Economic Studies program at Brookings hosted a conversation with Ed DeMarco, acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the conservator and regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. DeMarco was followed by a panel of housing and consumer experts. Vice President and Co-Director of Economic Studies Karen Dynan gave introductory remarks, and Co-Director of Economic Studies Ted Gayer moderated the panel. Speakers took questions from the audience. Participants followed the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #BIHousing.

Buy, Sell or Get out of the way: May be for Stocks but not for Gold!
By Dr. Atif Khan, Ph.D.
May 21 2010 4:41PM
Gold is a precious metal commodity which avails the direct result of the global GDP. The whole world works to elevate the prices of Gold in the longer run. On the speculative domain, Gold being the real indicator of value cross sustains the pitfalls of other securities, financial tools and currency devaluation. This cost sustained behavior in shorter run transcends into the gain as the opportunity cost of all other economic activities. For one thing remains sure for Gold, no one can control or lead the prices of gold in any environment or time. The reason is simple while the inferior policies governing financial tools such as stocks, bonds and currency lose their value; Gold remains intact only to gain with the deteriorating outcome of these tools. The only direct impact gold really can exhibit is when the GDP of the world declines and gold then exhibits correction (which it had gained against the poor trail of other financial tools). The truth remains that gold has the real inherent value which has continued to grow powerful over the period of time.
The Trail of Stocks vs. The Rally of Gold:
Stocks are reliant on the constant activity or transactional trades. Stock brokers are more interested in making commission out of their speculative advice. That is, their policy is based on the principle of âmore trades better the turnoverâ; for gold it is aptly contrary because if you sit on gold- better, and if you lose on speculative price correction, you can still wait for the prices to appreciate back to its actual. The gold formula is thus based on the global productive efficiency, if you own gold you must know- the whole world is working for you. They are always geared to work harder and smarter than past; thus they are working towards pushing the prices of gold to the next level, consistently.
International GDP vs. Independent Corporate Decisions:
International GDP is the production possibility frontier of the whole world, which is reliant on nothing else but the operational conditions on the economic front. Gold on these grounds remain oblivious of other economic (governmental level) impacts and thus represents globalized (true) performance capacity. On the other hand if we study the trading activities of stocks or bonds-the recent global meltdown provided numerous examples where bonds and stocks failed immensely and gold got privileged (and capitalized) because of their loopholes.
Itâs a regular question by potential investors-âWhere to put the money?â Stocks or Gold. Our comparison would tell you the story in a profound yet simple manner.
A potential investment in Gold in 1999 of US$ 10,000 would have elevated to US$ 38,000 by 2009. Thatâs a marked increased in from of 283%.
A careful evaluation and cautious estimate of the same in stocks would have deteriorated by US$ 1,400. A loss of 14%.
The above analysis is in a situation where other influencing factors in the environment remains constant such as currency and fiscal policies. Gold as we know is not affected much by anything else but its intrinsic value (it's not someone else's liability) and thus displays a great depth, for investors as well as speculators (around the shortcoming triggered by regulators of other financial products).
Whether it is a new legislation by FED or a war hastening the stock market; gold pertains only to the global economic outlook of productivity. Because where you see a deteriorating economy tarnishing the value and purchasing power of dollar, youâll see Gold profiting through the early recovery and full throttle economic activity on various fronts of multiple economies which are oblivious of US fiscal measures and its corresponding amendments. Infact be it Euro or Dollar they (emerging economies) are capitalizing on the mistakes of big wigs and adding on their reserves as their consequent focus on Gold.
Financially Educated class trusts Gold:
âThis system that we have since 1971 is non-viable, thatâs what this whole story is aboutâ says, Ron Paul congressman from Texas. âIâd rather be early than late, you know, I got worried about this in 1971, when Bretton Woods broke downâ, he explains. âWhen your theories are right you never get hurtâ, Ron warns.
âI have got literally thirty seconds left, and in these thirty seconds will you give our viewers investment advice, and is that investment advice to buy goldâ, newscaster Fox Business Varney & Company provoked Ron.
âI just tell you what I do, I think gold is good insurance policy (against inflation) & I personally buy my gold to protect my familyâ. Ron proclaimed.
Gold is a long term securer for your long term commitment that is family. Congressman Ron Paul is considered an authority in economics, governmental regulation and policies analyst. Being the most financially educated and aware as he is, he suggests general public to invest in gold.
âA RECIPE FOR DISASTER? The global economic and financial market climate looks increasingly precarious. Financial imbalances have never been greater following an extraordinary period of easy money. Many countries have experienced housing bubbles and massive increases in leverage, and global trade imbalances are at unprecedented levels. Rising U.S. interest rates and high oil prices now threaten to push the system to a breaking point.â (BCA Research)
Economic indicators why Gold Rally is better than Stock Trail:
Insurance against inflation
Insurance against currency devaluation
Optimal security against geo-political and financial market instability
Independently based on its own demand and supply
Inherent intrinsic value
Portfolio diversifier & stabilizer
No other commodity, financial product or tool can provide this level of composure with respect to your present and future, referred on the past of consistent soaring over the period of time.
Gold in comparison with other precious metals:
There is a huge gap between other precious metals such as silver (actually silver is an exception to some extent here because of its monetary history), palladium, platinum, copper and gold. The reason is simple and the reason is all other metals are produced for consumption in their related industries while gold is produced comparatively more for accumulation, the higher graded relative justifier of worth against value. The demand of all other metals fluctuates on the basis of their demand in their respective industrial applications. Goldâs movement is not primarily based on its usefulness or principal demand in industrial or consumable applications. Its monetary worth is fundamentally a constant for worldwide demand of stored value.
Old is not Only Gold:
Subsequently, in comparison to other commodities, gold does not perish, tarnish or corrode. Gold mined two centuries ago is still interchangeable and exchangeable or bartered today with newly mined stock.
1980s posed a scenario of once in a lifetime opportunity to buy stocks for financial stability and prosperity. Though that was an inadvertent effect of dollar control and US policy agenda on global canvas, while today the worth of dollar is exhausted since before Bretton wood was abolished. Now the weak and digressing economic measure to sustain dollar is adding the supplement worth on gold to cash on, both on short as well as long term.
In the coming decade, as the dollar suffers one of the great meltdowns in monetary history, gold will reclaim its place at the center of the global financial system. Goldâs value, relative to most national currencies, will soar.
âWhen East Central Bank buying outstrips West Central Bank selling, and it will in the not-too-distant future, the other remarkably bullish fundamentals for gold will take over and drive the gold price to levels that most people can scarcely imagine today.â (John Embry, Investorâs Digest, March 4, 2005)
Goldâs vitality in the portfolio of an investor:
Stocks have lost their face value since late 2007, their monetary worth too have crippled manifolds. The dollar based economy of US has lost it potency due to the crashes in Washington and Wall Street. The current government is thus printing dollar desperately trying to save the banks and rescue economy, both of these measures are going to further diminish any chances of revival in longer run by triggering hyperinflation.
As a consequence Gold is likely to upsurge again over the next several years.
Gold demand in India & China
India is the biggest gold consuming economy in the world. China is the fastest growing economy in the modern world. Both India and China are in the process of furthering laws relating to free import, sale and purchase of gold on grand scale.
China currently provides gold backed loans to its consumers through banks soon it is planning to introduce the legislated gold bar sale through banks.
These two economies at the forefront of the BRIC group will add absolute power gearing the enormous growth in the gold market and thereby affecting its sale on the gigantic magnitude.
Portfolio security through tangible assets:
The key to reduce risk factor in your investment portfolio is to create diversification. By diversification we mean to minimize the factor of correlation between various types of investments. This decreases the risk factor because if you are losing on one end, youâll be gaining on the other side. So it is always vital and valuable to diversify your portfolio through tangible assets.
Paper based securities have a certain relativity in their own, various types of bond and stocks have a range of similarity that can be implicated in their cycle of movement and the way they succumb to the impacts of market changes. Tangible assets like gold have a historic tendency of negative correlation to paper based assets, this will re-emphasize the effect decreasing your risk factor through active diversification. This way you can control and diversify your portfolio risk through a variety of investments allocated in non-closely linked securities.
Letâs get back to basics-hold your worth in your hand:
Confiscation of your gold when it is deposited in banks or with your gold agent is a risk that's been forecasted recently. Governments are going desperate to limit their diminishing effects of unfavorable outcomes in regard to their policies. Citibank has already announced that they have the power to hold back your funds for at least 7 days without any prior notice, and maximum can be any amount of days, months and years. As an investor or as an individual purged by the meltdown, you canât afford to be withheld from your funds without proper access or allocation.
Therefore the best advice that every gold guru is giving these days is to put your precious metal into lock and key that is in your very own possession for your very own interest.
Dollar Index, Inflation:
If we study the movement of Spot Gold from 2003-2009, we will see a gradual appreciation of the prices - especially in context of decreasing $ index, increasing inflation. Trading is more of an intuitive art than analytical science; trends tell you more than just simple implications. You have to read between lines of our executive summary and based on your measures deduce your very own advice that youâd like to capitalize on for future trading. The future of gold looks stellar, the future of S&P and dollar index looks bleak, use the power of inflation to reclaim the positive edge on your gold assets. Speculation or longer run, keep your senses on red alert, your eyes wide open, and ears fully attentive.
The future of gold might reshape the world, to some for good, to some for bad. Many economies such BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are working hard to shift from dollar standard to a new currency and chances are worthwhile to move towards gold to keep everyone happy (just like before when Bretton Wood was abolished in 1971). If you follow gold and silver your chances to survive will definitely be for good. Even in the positions when Gold prices end unchanged, they are always supported by safe-haven buying due to volatility in other markets like currency (various) & stocks market.
Trading in Gold or other precious metals needs high level of expertise with decisive implications that demands careful yet conclusive watch; analysis, evaluation and more importantly experienced professional advice.

UNHCR Briefing Notes: Chechnya, Angola/Congo (DRC)
1. Chechnya
Later this week the first 4,000 displaced Chechens are expected to move to a new tented camp located next to the Severny train carriage settlement in Ingushetia. The camp was erected jointly by UNHCR and the Ingush chapter of Russia's EMERCOM relief organization. It will eventually accommodate a total of 12,000 persons. The first part of the camp will hold up to 200 large family size tents (housing up to 20 persons each). The tents are equipped with a wooden floor, gas and electricity.
Meanwhile, the Ingush government is trying to ensure that some of the makeshift settlements, where large numbers of people still reside, are also winterized. UNHCR has already contracted the International Rescue Committee to do renovation work in some 55 spontaneous settlements. EMERCOM and various international NGOs are involved in the rehabilitation too.
Since September of 1999, UNHCR has delivered 108 convoys with humanitarian assistance to the Northern Caucasus - 83 to Ingushetia, 10 to Dagestan, 9 to Chechnya, 3 to Karachevo-Cherkessia, 2 to North Ossetia and one to the Kuskay district of the Stavropol country.
2. Angola/Congo (DRC)
UNHCR staff from Kahemba in the Democratic Republic of Congo were able to conduct a two-day mission on the weekend to remote border areas and contact for the first time newly arrived Angolan refugees.
The mission to three villages in southeastern Bandundu province proceeded under heavy military escort and put the number of Angolans who have crossed to that vicinity in the past few weeks at 1,000. The estimate included information from an area that the mission was not allowed to visit by the accompanying soldiers, who cited possible encounters with UNITA rebels.
Refugees who had crossed to the DRC in the past week confirmed to UNHCR that thousands more displaced people have erected makeshift shelters in forests on the Angolan side of the border. They named dozens of small villages in Angola's border province of Lunda Norte that were abandoned by their population after clashes between UNITA and government forces at Camaxilo.
Some refugees UNHCR spoke with said they had crossed to the DRC after a month of seeking safety in the woods, and only after they were no longer able to find food. They reported that thousands of individuals continue to move out of relative safety in wooded areas at night to search for food.
Four UNHCR trucks are standing by in Kinshasa as the fuel shortage has so far allowed only three trucks with emergency aid to make the 10-day trip to Kahemba.

breaking news
Alabama`s State Auditor Beth Chapman, fifth in line to Governor Bob Riley, spoke at yesterday`s Dothan Rotary Club.
The State Auditor is reponsible for all of the property the state owns. Chapman is an extreme conservative and sources say she watches over taxpayers money as if it were her own.
Yesterday, she spoke about government waste, and cited some specific examples of what she saw when first elected to office.
Chapman mentioned an unnamed state agency that came up missing eighteen official vehicles, saying that often the government simply writes such losses off. She says that is unacceptable, and officials should be held accountable to state taxpayers.

Series •••½ Picture/Sound •••• Extras •••½ |
This post-9/11 series is as compelling as any network TV drama currently in production. Like many of his comrades in the New York City Fire Department, Tommy Gavin (a very convincing Denis Leary) is equal parts heroic, insecure, juvenile, self-destructive, and compassionate. Episode after episode, Leary and co-writer/producer Peter Tolan find something compelling to say about the fire-fighting life, where hours of boredom are interspersed with dramatic situations most of us will never experience.
All 13 episodes on this three-disc set have excellent color and lots of detail and contrast in the many action scenes. The Dolby Surround sound is also quite involving, with appropriately boomy sonics and ambient effects when the hoses come out and the men attack a blaze. Extras include commentaries on the first and last episodes by Leary and Tolan, four worthwhile making-of featurettes, and a fun collection of bloopers and deleted scenes. [TV-MA] English, Dolby Surround; letterboxed (1.78:1) and anamorphic widescreen; three dual-layer discs.
