A man has been shot dead by a police officer in inner-Sydney Redfern after the stolen truck he was driving careered onto the footpath and hit two women.
The truck's owner alerted officers at Redfern police station to the theft just before 11.40am (AEDT) on Friday.
The truck, stolen from nearby Gibbons St, had turned into a section of Redfern St that is shared by vehicles and pedestrians.
It struck a pole and mowed down two female pedestrians before a senior constable fired at least three rounds, hitting the driver.
The truck then veered right, struck the awning sign of bottle shop and slammed into the wall of a hotel TAB.
Acting Deputy Commissioner Mark Murdoch said the officer who fired the shot was "distraught".
"No police officer goes to work on the day with the intention of discharging his firearm," Mr Murdoch said.
An employee of a clothing shop said she heard loud bangs, like the sound of a crashing car, minutes before the shooting started.
"We saw the truck lose control and bang into the rail," the woman, Marie, told AAP.
"At the same time, police were running and they took their guns out, and we saw them shooting."
A tobacconist said he heard three shots and came running outside.
"I saw three or four police (officers) around the truck," he told AAP.
The licensee of the pub, Railz on Redfern, saw the incident unfold.
"They had them cornered on the side, just out the front of Redfern station," James Devere told Fairfax Radio Network.
"He's put the pedal to the metal and the police let off a couple of shots on him.
"And then he's come careering down and straight into the hotel."
Police on the scene administered first aid to the man but he died in the vehicle and his body remained there hours after the incident.
He did not have identification on him.
None of the officers were injured, but the senior constable was shaken.
A squad car sustained front-end damage during the chase.
The two injured pedestrians were taken to St Vincent's Hospital with minor injuries.
Officers from the Homicide Squad have formed a critical incident investigation team into the shooting.
The state coroner will also review the matter to determine the man's cause of death.
The Human Rights Law Centre said the shooting was a reminder of the need for independent investigations to take place into police-related deaths.
Anna Brown, the centre's director of advocacy and strategic litigation, said she was highly critical of police conducting primary investigations and briefing the coroner.
"Police cannot effectively investigate themselves," she said in a statement.
"No one is questioning that police officers face very difficult and dangerous situations, and of course community safety should always be their priority.
"What we are saying, though, is that incidents like this where a member of the public has died should be investigated independently of the police.
She said Australia needed an independent body to investigate police-related deaths, consistent with international human rights law.
Ms Brown cited the police investigation into the shooting death of mentally ill man Adam Salter, which a NSW coroner's found was "deeply flawed".

DMDoublesex DNA-binding motif
|SMART accession number:
|Interpro abstract (IPR001275):
|This domain was first discovered in the doublesex proteins of Drosophila melanogaster and is also seen in proteins from Caenorhabditis elegans [(PUBMED:9490411)]. In D. melanogaster the doublesex gene controls somatic sexual differentiation by producing alternatively spliced mRNAs encoding related sex-specific polypeptides [(PUBMED:8978051)]. These proteins are believed to function as transcription factors on downstream sex-determination genes, especially on neuroblast differentiation and yolk protein genes transcription [(PUBMED:1907913), (PUBMED:3046751)]. The DM domain binds DNA as a dimer, allowing the recognition of pseudopalindromic sequences [(PUBMED:8978051), (PUBMED:9927589), (PUBMED:10898790)]. The NMR analysis of the DSX DM domain [(PUBMED:10898790)] revealed a novel zinc module containing 'intertwined' CCHC and HCCC zinc-binding sites. The recognition of the DNA requires the carboxy-terminal basic tail which contacts the minor groove of the target sequence.

Bill Crawford
In January 2012, Bill Crawford was named as the newest full-time member of Pittsburgh's iconic WDVE Morning Show. Joining Randy Baumann every morning from 6-10 am. Bill is a fresh voice on the morning drive, but he's no stranger to DVE having been a friend and regular on-air guest for the last six years. A Pittsburgh native, Crawford has been making waves on the national scene and has quickly become one of the country's most promising young comedians. Bill has performed in the TBS Just For Laughs comedy festival in Chicago and was one of the featured comics in the LOL Lounge Showcase in 2011. Crawford came up through the ranks at the Pittsburgh Improv, going from open mics to headlining and selling out shows. Since 2010, Bill has been traveling across the country doing stand-up. He's performed in Seattle, New York, Dallas, Miami, Chicago & everywhere in between with Jim Bruer (SNL, Half-Baked) Steve Byrne (Sullivan and Son), Bryan Callen (The Hangover) and Bert Kreischer (Burt The Conqueror, Trip Flip). Bill's comedy is all about perspective and sarcasm. He mixes a blend of intelligence and the ridiculous, taking on a variety of topics and turning them inside out. His sharp wit and comedic style create humorous observations from the everyday life of a young guy with two kids trying to figure it all out. If you live in the city and haven't seen his live club act, it's well worth the price of admission!

Rolf Harris is probably one of the most retarded people you'll ever meet.
by Chickenfarts January 04, 2011
A fag that ruined two very good songs (Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody and Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven). He decided to put a "Wobble Board" and a digeridoo solo in Stairway to Heaven. Although he did this to Stairway to Heaven, he didn't do much to Bohemian Rhapsody. He did alot of other stupid things like signs his artwork with a caricature of himself as a kangaroo which is named "Rolfaroo". Look up more by searching for him on google.

PEKIN — An alleged drunken driver stole a car with one working headlight, then led police on a late night chase Wednesday from Pekin through Creve Coeur before he fought the officers arresting him, according to charges filed Thursday.
"At least he had enough sense to drive slow" through much of the pursuit, a Pekin officer said.
Speeding was among the batch of charges lodged against Nicholas Block, 33, of Washington, after the half-hour chase. That violation and the dead headlight first caught the eye of the officer patrolling Pekin's near north side shortly after midnight, said Public Information Officer Mike Eeten.
Block, however, drove in slow weaves up Illinois Route 29 and virtually crawled at 15 mph down the highway's winding Creve Coeur hill before his arrest, Eeten said.
Block was charged in Tazewell County Circuit Court with possession of a stolen car, fleeing and eluding police and DUI, along with five traffic violations. He also was sought on a warrant for forgery. Bond was set at $25,000 pending a preliminary hearing April 24.
Block allegedly stole the vehicle from the parking lot of the Koch Street Bar and Grill in Pekin.
The chase began when he passed a police car while heading north on Eighth Street toward Sheridan Road and sped through a red light at Sheridan Road. He slowed down as he weaved and struck a curb but drove on despite the officer's flashing lights and siren, Eeten said.
North Pekin police were alerted as Block approached that village, ignoring the stop light at Illinois Route 98 along the way, Eeten said.
While Block continued on his slow, unsteady path through North Pekin and Creve Coeur, East Peoria police deployed so-called stop sticks to puncture his tires at that city's southern border.
He turned around when he saw those officers ahead and drove onto Wesley Road. Police caught him when he drove off the road at a sharp curve and became stuck.
When Block refused an order to raise his hands and get out of the car, an officer shattered its driver's window with his baton. Block was Tasered twice as he fought with the officers who pulled him out to handcuff him, Eeten said.

text: Friday, July 15, 2011 New in the Literature: Constraint-induced Movement Therapy (Dev Med Child Neurol. 2011;53(4):313-320.) Overall, there are only small differences between constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and bimanual training (BIM) in improving upper limb activity outcomes for children with congenital hemiplegia, say researchers in an article published in Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology. Results generally reflect specificity of practice, they add, with CIMT improving unimanual capacity and BIM improving bimanual performance. For this study, researchers randomly allocated 63 children (mean age 10.2, SD 2.7, range 5-16 y; 33 boys, 30 girls), 16 in Manual Ability Classification System level I, 46 level II, and 1 level III, and 16 in Gross Motor Function Classification level I, 47 level II to either CIMT or BIM group day camps (60 hours over 10 days). The Melbourne Assessment of Unilateral Upper Limb Function assessed unimanual capacity of the impaired limb and Assisting Hand Assessment evaluated bimanual coordination at baseline, 3 and 26 weeks, scored by blinded raters. After concealed random allocation, there was no baseline difference between groups. CIMT had superior outcomes compared with BIM for unimanual capacity at 26 weeks (estimated mean difference [EMD] 4.4). There was no other significant difference between groups post-intervention. Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in bimanual performance at 3 weeks, with gains maintained by BIM at 26 weeks (EMD 2.3). Comments Interesting findings. Posted by Anthony on 7/17/2011 6:05 PM Thanks for highlighting this study. The success of CIMT in adults has prompted more use in children. Noting the differences in neurological processes based on age is important. Posted by Barbara Boucher, PT, PhD on 7/20/2011 8:34 AM

Last year's Christmas in Mosul, 2005
photo by Buck Sargent
Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions, but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men.
On the last night I spent in Baghdad, an unusually large and noisome enemy shell impacted a few hundred meters away while I was otherwise indisposed in a portajohn. With the thin plastic walls shaking more violently than my bowels, I contemplated the possible snarky headlines:
Insurgents Catch Troops With Their Pants Down... Literally!
If I die on a combat throne...
Wipe my six and ship me home...
Yet here I am just over a month later, sitting at the kitchen table on a beautiful Christmas morning at my parents home in Austin with my wife and family. Life is good.
But as thankful as I am to be surrounded by my loved ones at this time of the year, I won't forget the men who were escorted home before us to a hero's welcome and a family's sorrow. In prior wars, they've been described as the men who "didn't make it back," but in this day and age we all return home one way or the other.
Nor will I forget the men and women who are spending the holidays in Iraq or Afghanistan. I've been there, done that, fellas. I know what you're going through. To the ones convalescing at Walter Reed: thankfully for my own family, I can't begin to imagine what you are going through. But I'm thinking of you all the same, and praying for your speedy recovery.
As should we all be on this Christmas day.

A catholic monastery devoted to the teachings of St. Benedict
From time to time, we get requests for reading
suggestions. In the last chapter of the Holy
Rule, St. Benedict answered a similar request by exhorting his
readers to turn to the scriptures. "For what page or what utterance
of the divinely inspired books of the Old and New Testaments is not
a most unerring rule for human life?" (RB 73)
St. Benedict also encourages reading the rule of
St. Basil and the works of John Cassian, the lives of the saints
and the writings of the "holy Catholic Fathers."

Trend Watch: Chesterfields, Union Jacks & Cool Britannia
With the Royal Wedding, the Beatles on iTunes, and the 2012 Olympics on the horizon, London is basking in the spotlight. 'Cool Britannia' — an old term used to describe the fashionable culture of contemporary London — is back. UK and American furniture companies are jumping onto the (double-decker) trend bus, and we saw lots of examples at the recent High Point spring market.
- HALO: Available only to the trade, UK company HALO has been making handcrafted furniture inspired by English heritage since 1976. Their High Point showroom was full of Union Jack upholstery and leather club chairs — all styled with inventive twists like a bowler hat chandelier and a staircase-turned-library.
- Lillian August: With four stores throughout the Northeast and one in LA, their products are available to the trade and retail customers alike. Their showroom included a dark blue den (painted in Sherwin Williams Loyal Blue) with equestrian photographs.
- BoBo Intriguing Objects: This to-the-trade showroom focuses mainly on imports from France, Belgium, and Argentina, but their vintage finds included English-style tufted sofas and the occasional silver crown.
- Mr. Brown by Julian Chichester: UK company Julian Chichester debuted its new, more affordable Mr. Brown collection at High Point. They bill the style as "English informality for a modern life." Products are available to the trade.
- Oly Studio: While Berkeley-based Oly Studio was much lighter and brighter than most of the English-style showrooms, they had one old-school library roomset with dark gray walls and upholstered dining chairs. Oly products can be purchased by retail and trade customers alike.
- Thomasville: Even mid-range American wholesale furniture companies like Thomasville were dabbling in Old English style. Their showroom included an upholstered bench covered in a neutral Union Jack pattern.
- Althorp by Theodore Alexander: Luxury period furniture manufacturer Theodore Alexander is offering its trade clients a collection of reproductions from the Spencer family's Althorp Estate, one of the most famous homes of the English aristocracy.
Located in North Carolina and held twice each year in April and October, High Point Market is "the largest furnishings industry trade show in the world." The market includes 180 buildings, 10 million square feet of showspace, and over 2,000 exhibitors who exhibit to designers, buyers, press, and industry representatives.

Case study on river management: Gwydir
These ecologically important wetlands lie in the heart of one of Australia's largest agricultural areas, and have been suffering for the past 20 years due to water extraction for irrigation, most notably for cotton growing.
The Gwydir River forms part of the Murray- Darling Basin which drains approximately one seventh of the landmass of Australia.
Central to this case study are the floodplain wetlands located along 95km of the Gingham and Lower Gwydir watercourses west of Moree in northern New South Wales.
Socio-economic importance
Following completion of Copeton Dam on the Gwydir River in 1976, irrigation schemes grew rapidly to the point where demand outstripped the capacity of the dam by almost one-fifth.
The upstream diversion of water for irrigation had a significant effect on downstream pastoralists, whose grazing productivity declined by up to 73%.
The drying-out of wetlands also saw a marked increase in cereal cropping on these areas, resulting in further wetland loss.

NAMM 2008 - Reverend Introduces Ron Asheton Signature Guitar At NAMM
Proto-punk guitar legend Ron Asheton (Iggy Pop & The Stooges) has collaborated with Reverend on a new signature model to debut at January NAMM. Based on the popular Volcano model, this guitar includes three Reverend P-90 pickups, lightning bolt body logo, and Ron's signature on the back of the headstock.
The korina body construction features a raised center section which improves clarity and sustain, while the thinner wings increase resonance for an instrument that is lively, clear and rich in harmonics.
The custom designed pickups consist of a bridge pickup that is slightly hotter than vintage, and middle/neck pickups that are slightly cleaner. The passive Bass Contour adds versatility, ranging from a slight low-end roll off to percussive single-coil sounds.
Ron Asheton will appear at the Reverend booth (5822) on Saturday, January 19th at 3pm.
- Solid korina body
- Three Reverend P-90 pickups (RWRP middle pickup)
- 5-way pickup switch
- Wilkinson staggered EZ-Lock tuners
- Volume, Tone, and Bass Contour (bass roll off) controls
- 24.75" scale
- one-piece korina neck
- Dual-action truss rod
- Rosewood fingerboard with 12" radius
- Options: Black or Rock Orange

I once caught a fish WITH a loaf...To add, can someone calculate how much energy would need to be condensed to make about 1000 fish/loaves of bread?
...so the energy requirement is 225 quintillion Joules.
Sure.Assume an average loaf of bread masses about 0.5 kg, and an average trout-sized fish masses about 2 kg.1000 of each gives you 2500 kg of mass.Apply Einstein's energy/mass equivalence equation: E = mc^2, where 'c' is approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s:E = 2500 kg x (3x10^8 m/s)^2 = 2500 kg x (9x10^16 m^2/s^2) = 2.25 x 10^20 kg/m^2/s^21 kg/m^2/s^2 is one Joule, so the energy requirement is 225 quintillion Joules.To put that into perspective, that's about 62.5 trillion kilowatt-hours, or about as much electricity as the entire United States would use in about 17,000 years, based on 2010 rates of use.Of course this just gives the energy required for the requisite mass, and doesn't take into consideration how much energy might be necessary to effect the actual conversion.That Jesus, man, he was one POWERFUL dude.

NEW YORK – Toyota Motor Corp. is moving toward liquidating its stake in a California manufacturing plant that it jointly operated with General Motors, the Japanese automaker said Friday.
The plant's fate was thrown into question last month when GM announced it was withdrawing from the 50-50 joint venture. General Motors Co. emerged from bankruptcy protection shortly after the announcement and the company's stake in NUMMI is now part of Motors Liquidation Co. – also known as Old GM – where it will be liquidated under court supervision.
The NUMMI plant, established in 1984, employs 4,600 workers and makes the Pontiac Vibe station wagon for GM, and the Corolla compact car and Tacoma pickup truck for Toyota.
Toyota has decided to begin discussions with the "Old GM" toward dissolving the joint venture, said Toyota spokesman Paul Nolasco.
"Since GM pulled out, we've had to look at all kinds of things we could do," Nolasco said. "Toyota right now is in a really difficult situation. We're pressed to make hard decisions."
He said it will take time for Toyota to "work out how to wind down" the Fremont, Calif.-based New United Motor Manufacturing Inc., also known as NUMMI.
A GM spokeswoman in Detroit declined to comment on Friday.
Toyota has been re-examining its U.S. strategy after plummeting U.S. auto sales helped drag it to its worst-ever overall loss for the fiscal year ended in March.
On Monday Yoshi Inaba, president of Toyota Motor North America and chairman of Toyota Motor Sales USA, said the Japanese automaker was carefully evaluating its options for NUMMI and hoped to make a decision "as quickly as possible."
He said Toyota was studying whether it could be economically viable in the future and considering factors such as the company's idle factory space, labor and image.
NUMMI officials have said that the facility's labor costs and business conditions are not competitive. NUMMI's unionized factory workers are paid about $27 to $28 per hour. But workers at Toyota's other U.S. factories are paid between $15 an hour at newer plants to as high as the upper $20s at older facilities, such as its factory in Georgetown, Ky., according to a Toyota spokesman.
The United Auto Workers union represents employees at the joint facility and their labor contract expires next month. The joint venture was developed to have American workers learn Toyota's production methods, which were much leaner and more efficient. The UAW has not been able to organize workers at a Toyota plant in the U.S.
Haig Stoddard, an auto analyst with the consulting firm IHS-Global Insight, said NUMMI's fate likely hinges on whether Toyota can wrangle concessions from the plant's work force.
"That is a lot of capacity for Toyota to walk away from," Stoddard said in an e-mail. "Although in this climate they do not need all of their North American capacity at the moment, they will in the future."
A message left with UAW Local 2244 in Fremont, Calif., was not immediately returned Friday.
California represents Toyota's largest market within the U.S. California lawmakers have held discussions with the company about ways of keeping the plant open.
On Thursday, California's two senators and 17 House members sent a letter to Toyota President Akio Toyoda offering to work with Toyota to keep the plant from closing.
"We are greatly concerned that GM's decision creates uncertainty about NUMMI's future," the lawmakers wrote. "We are eager to see that all interested parties come to the table to arrive at a solution that will secure NUMMI's future."

Wagon Deals: October 2013
Although many shoppers have given up on wagons in favor of SUVs, not all drivers have made the switch. If you're among the wagon faithful, you're in luck, because we've listed our favorite wagon deals available this month, highlighting incentives and special offers from a variety of manufacturers.
Acura TSX Sport Wagon
The Acura TSX Sport Wagon offers a more versatile take on the sporty TSX sedan. Three offers are available for drivers looking to get a new TSX Sport Wagon in October. Lease shoppers can choose between two deals. One boasts a low monthly payment, with figures starting from $309 per month for 36 months after $1,999 down at lease signing. The other offers payments from $360 per month for 36 months, but boasts nothing down at signing. Drivers can also finance a TSX at a reduced rate this month, with qualified shoppers getting interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for 60 months.
Ford C-MAX
The Ford C-MAX is a hybrid wagon with five doors and a large interior. In October, the 2013 C-MAX is offered with several incentives. For qualified drivers interested in financing, that means 0 percent interest for up to 48 months or 0.9 percent for 60 months. Cash buyers can get up to $1,000 back. And for lease shoppers, Ford is offering payments from $289 per month for 36 months on a 2013 C-MAX SE -- a good deal even when you factor in a required down payment of nearly $2,800. Buyers looking to pay in full also get a deal, with Ford touting up to $1,000 cash back on all C-MAX models through the end of October.
Subaru Outback
The Subaru Outback is a midsize wagon with standard all-wheel drive and raised ground clearance. In October, it's available with good incentives, especially if you're willing to consider a leftover 2013 model. A 2013 Outback is available with 0 percent interest for up to 36 months, while interest rates on 2014 models go only as low as 0.9 percent. For drivers looking to lease, Subaru is also offering a good deal this month: a 36-month term with payments from $269 per month after $1,969 down at lease signing.

Subaru XV Crosstrek

For drivers looking to lease an XV Crosstrek, Subaru is offering the wagon with payments from $249 per month for 42 months after $2,149 down at lease signing.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Comprehensive Description
The term "mangrove" may be used for a variety of tropical and subtropical plant species (in many cases not closely related to each other) that grow in highly saline coastal environments and as a consequence share many adaptations that allow them to survive and reproduce under these conditions (e.g., thick, waxy leaves to minimize water loss in their salty surroundings). Mangroves are trees or shrubs that grow with their roots partly or wholly submerged in sea water. The Red Mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) is particularly extreme in its ability to survive with its roots bathed in salt water. In Florida, Red Mangroves reach about 6 meters, but in the tropics they may grow to four times that height. The dark green leaves are shiny and broad. Reddish prop roots arch from the trunk into the water; old individuals may have aerial roots hanging from branches. Stalked yellow, waxy flowers are produced in groups of 4. The fruit is a leathery brown, conical berry about 2.5 cm long. The Red Mangrove is one of a number of mangrove species that are "viviparous", i.e., the seeds germinate while still attached to the parent. Red Mangrove seedlings (sometimes known as "sea pencils") up to 30 cm long hang from branches during much of the year. (Kaplan 1988)
Mangroves are builders. They help build up new land along the shore and are the anchors for rich and complex communities involving diverse animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms (although plant species diversity in mangrove habitats is generally much lower than animal diversity). They serve as nurseries for many fish and invertebrates, including many that migrate along the shore or out into the ocean as adults. They filter the water and buffer the effects of hurricanes. Kaplan (1988) provides an excellent and accessible introduction to the ecology of mangroves and mangrove swamps.

Most Americans in need of a jolt of energy reach for a stimulant. Whether we're getting our fix from an espresso maker, a teapot, or a vending machine, caffeine is the drug of choice for people who need to feel fired up fast. Caffeine boosts energy by stimulating the central nervous system and increasing the heart rate and blood pressure. But this pick-me-up can also let you down. Sensitive people tend to feel jittery and anxious, not jazzed, after a cup of coffee or a can of soda. Caffeine can also sabotage your sleep, setting up a bad pattern: use caffeine, sleep poorly, need more caffeine the next day to compensate. For some people, caffeine is addictive; the slump you feel when its effects wear off compels you to consume more -- turning it into a crutch.
The Fix
The obvious solution to a dependency on caffeine is to consume less of it. But as anyone who has tried to go cold turkey knows, withdrawal symptoms like throbbing headaches, nervousness, irritability, and fatigue are no picnic. A better way to cut back? Gradually decrease the amount you consume -- drink one fewer cup of coffee every day, for example. It also helps to know how much caffeine is in common foods and beverages: A cup of coffee contains 135 mg, a cup of black tea has up to 70 mg, a Red Bull has 80 mg. If you still savor a steaming beverage once or twice a day, try green tea. It has less caffeine than coffee (25 to 40 mg total) and is rich in antioxidants.

Jewish World Review Jan 7, 2013/ 25 Teves 5773
Why bankruptcy rules work best when big institutions break down
By Michael Barone
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Over the next year, we will probably see much controversy over the implementation of Obamacare. Health insurance is something that almost every adult is acquainted with, and there seem to be glitches aplenty in the legislation, much delay in issuing regulations and some possible changes resulting from litigation.
We're likely to see or hear less about the burdens of the Dodd-Frank financial regulation legislation, passed four months after Obamacare. Most of us don't work at the banks or financial institutions that will have to grapple with its myriad provisions and resulting regulations, and we tend to toss out disclosure forms sent by our banks.
But Dodd-Frank may produce more problems than it solves. That is the thesis of David Skeel, professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, in his new book "The New Financial Deal: Understanding the Dodd-Frank Act and Its (Unintended) Consequences. "
Skeel does not find fault in Dodd-Frank's effort to regulate derivatives -- contracts in which one party agrees to pay another in case of changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, oil prices or just about anything else -- with provisions encouraging them to be conducted through clearinghouses.
They were an obvious target for regulation, because derivatives based on the value of mortgage-backed securities did much to trigger the collapse of Lehman Brothers and AIG in 2008. Skeel calls these Dodd-Frank derivative provisions "an unequivocal advance."
But he sees serious problems in what he describes as the two themes that emerge from the law's 2,319 pages: "(1) government partnership with the largest financial institutions and (2) ad hoc interventions by regulators rather than a more predictable, rule-based response to crises."
The prime mover behind these policies, he argues, was Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who as a junior Treasury official played a role in the bailout packages for the Mexican peso in 1994-95 and the hedge fund Long Term Capital Management in 1998. They're his models for future regulation.
As president of the New York Federal Reserve, he played a key role in fashioning responses to the financial crises of 2008. Dodd-Frank, Skeel argues, was written to give regulators powers they felt they lacked when they allowed Lehman Brothers to go into bankruptcy in September 2008.
Lehman's collapse, followed by the Bush administration's demand for the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program legislation and especially its initial rejection (reversed four days later) in the House, led to staggering losses first in the stock market and then in the economy at large.
Skeel is one of many who argue, persuasively in my view, that the real mistake here was not the failure to bail out Lehman but the apparently successful bailout of a smaller investment bank, Bear Stearns, in March 2008.
The Bear bailout created expectations that the Federal Reserve and the Treasury would bail out every big financial institution -- expectations strengthened when the government took over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in August 2008 and AIG in early September.
Lehman could and almost certainly would have sold itself out of trouble, Skeel argues, if its executives had not had such expectations.
Dodd-Frank's provisions requiring special treatment of the very largest financial institutions creates similar expectations, Skeel says. And it enables those "too big to fail" institutions to borrow money at lower rates than smaller banks.
Similarly, Fannie and Freddie, with their implicit government guarantee, were able to borrow cheaply and engage in the practices that brought them down, which has cost taxpayers $140 billion.
Skeel is a specialist in bankruptcy law, and he argues that the relatively fixed rules of bankruptcy could better handle the breakdown of big financial institutions than the discretion Dodd-Frank gives to regulators.
One reason Dodd-Frank is tilted against bankruptcy, he says, is congressional committee jurisdiction lines: Dodd-Frank was the product of the banking committees, and bankruptcy is handled by the judiciary committees.
Solutions? Skeel argues that small amendments could improve the law. Remove the special treatment for derivatives in bankruptcy. Allow investment banks to declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy without liquidation. A special panel of judges could be set up to handle financial firm bankruptcies.
And, based on his criticism of the Chrysler and General Motors bankruptcies, Skeel argues that bankrupt firms should not be able to sell assets without an auction allowing outsiders to bid.
Not everyone will agree with Skeel's analysis and recommendations. But they're worth looking at.

Interview- To dance or not? Composer Lukas Ligeti assaults body and mind
As the son of composer Gyorgy Ligeti (whose pieces have been featured in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Eyes Wide Shut) and as the mastermind behind the West-African techno-folk pop ensemble, Burkina Electric, Austrian composer Lukas Ligeti may have some big shoes to fill. But as an innovator in experimenting with electronic percussion, he has a refreshingly straightforward approach to music. According to Ligeti, pushing sound to its kinetic limits can explore the union between abstract questions and cultural influences.
"My interest is in trying to find new sounds, relationships, how musicians interact in an ensemble, how to combine different speeds, rhythms," he says. "I'm not interested in conveying concrete meaning or making people dance."
The vibrant beats and complex loops, repetitions, and rhythms of his third album, Afrikan Machinery, draw from Ligeti's long history with the African continent and combine references to architecture and math. Don't let the intellectual babble overwhelm you though; while thoughtful, Ligeti draws influence primarily from the union of sound and movement. Unlike other experimental electronic percussionists, who will sit on their laptops and lifelessly tap out beats, Ligeti retains traditional percussion instruments, allowing his performance to be guided by his explosive movements–- assaulting both the ears and the eyes.
The Hook: What inspired this union of electronics, percussion, and traditional African influences?
Lukas Ligeti: I was working with traditional musicians, fascinated with African music, and I wanted to do something completely different. Going to Africa was life-changing–- I've been there twenty times.
The Hook: But you don't go fully electronic by using only computer-aided instruments. Why do you continue to utilize traditional percussion instruments?
LL: I didn't want to lose the kinetic aspect of playing music. When somebody's playing on a laptop, you don't really see them move–- I wanted to move when playing music. It's like dancing.
The Hook: You've said two different things–- you can dance to your music, but you aren't writing dance-able music.
LL: When it comes to the dancing, I come from the African approach, where there's no separate word for music and dancing. I can always dance to my music, I know the logic of my music–- it always depends if you know the secret code to the music, what to listen for. It's possible to dance to any kind of music if you know that code.
The Hook: How does your music serve to transcend culture?
LL: In my case, I'm a rootless person, personally and musically–- I grew up internationally, don't really have a strong sense of geographical or cultural home, so for me a mix of cultures was always a natural state. I hope my work in places like Africa helps fight prejudices and clich©s and contributes to understandings between different cultures, but sometimes I think that's a failure.
The Hook: What are some images that spark your interest?
LL: Math, physics, and architecture, visual art, paintings, politics...
The Hook: With such a unique musical perspective, how do you continue to challenge yourself?
LL: I try to play something, and I can't, I try to write something and can't figure out how to do it. Challenges come on their own–- I don't do anything to find them, but I also don't do anything to keep them away.
Lukas Ligeti plays at The Bridge, Saturday, March 20. The show starts at 8 pm and tickets are free.

Fortunately, the guy underneath it is, well, underneath it. The bar in the guy's hands means absolutely nothing to non-kiters, be they boaters, aircraft pilots, swimmers, what have you. It especially means nothing to other kiters. The direction the kite is traveling in and whether the rider beneath it is on a collision course are the main points of focus. For me, taking that into consideration, I honestly don't think that I would notice if it was a color coded bar the guy was holding in his hands, or a lawn gnome.Kamikuza wrote:Not for being visible of course - that would be silly... it is a common convention though.Flight Time wrote:Tying to compare bar sides to nautical lights is just plain silly. Kiters mostly don't kite at night, the bars spin and change direction plenty, and the colored ends of the bars would not indicate the direction one was travelling any better than the giant F-ing kite in the sky would.
99% of non-kiters see no connection between the giant fucking kite in the sky and the guy underneath it.

According to multiple reports, the UFC has recently signed undefeated Russian striker Alexandra "Stitch" Albu to their ever-growing bantamweight roster. Who is Alexandra Albu, you ask? That is a very, very good question.
Although we weren't able to find her actual MMA record anywhere in the world fight indexes, Albu is allegedly a 5-0 bantamweight with 4 first round knockouts and a first round submission to her credit. Additionally, Albu is (allegedly) a black belt in karate, a Moscow Cup-earning power lifter, a judoka and one of Russia's top Crossfit competitors. We also gave her five out of five Schwings on the Wayne's World Scale of Hotness, which makes the UFC's decision to sign her all the more transparent. Not that we're complaining.
Check out our favorite photos of Albu in the gallery below, as well as a couple videos of her in action after the jump, then fill us in on anything you can find about this woman in the comments section.

Inspiration: Organizing by Color
We're all looking for ways to get more organized, whether it's at home or in the office. A great way to help stay organized is by utilizing color. The task of organizing by color isn't as daunting or OCD as we may first think.
We've been organizing like crazy lately (you remember our Pack Rat ordeal!) and we've been thinking about jumping on the Organizing by Color bandwagon. We've been to friends houses that practice this method and we can't help but think it looks amazing.
We've also noticed in some of our favorite House Tours that it's a really popular form of organization and decoration. Personally, we find a collection of books much more appealing when like colors are grouped. Of course, books aren't the only objects that look great when organized by color — collection of bowls, groups of chairs, art supplies, office supplies, etc.

Woman at the Vanguard
New York
The first time Lorraine Gordon entered the Village Vanguard, in the late 1930s, she was nearly thrown out. It's not that she was behaving improperly; she was just too young to be legally allowed into a bar. The first words she ever heard uttered by her future husband of 40 years, Max Gordon, were "Get rid of those kids!"—meaning her and her brother. No one could have known then that, less than 15 years later, she would become an integral part of the Vanguard's history when she married Gordon, or that, in 1989, she would take over the club herself and keep it running to this day. Another major event no one could have foreseen 75 years ago: On the eve of her 90th birthday, Ms. Gordon would receive word that she is to become the first woman to receive the NEA Jazz Masters Award for Jazz Advocacy.
A Tuesday afternoon at the Village Vanguard is a funny time to be talking about the past—despite being filled with pictures of jazz greats who played and recorded there in the 1950s and '60s (Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Sonny Rollins), the club is thoroughly steeped in the present. Ms. Gordon is trying to talk in spite of persistent interruptions: delivery men requiring her to sign this or that; the piano tuner trying to work while the interview is proceeding; veteran drummer Andrew Cyrille needing help to get his trap kit down the stairs; and tenor saxophonist Bill McHenry getting ready for his soundcheck.
Ms. Gordon, née Stein, was born in Newark, N.J., on Oct. 15, 1922, and has been a devoted jazz fan and a tireless advocate of the music her entire life. She and her brother Philip began listening to and collecting jazz records partly because they weren't allowed into the clubs where the music was played. Around 1935, the same year that Max Gordon opened the Vanguard, young Lorraine, inspired by developments in Paris, formed a loose collective of fans she named "The Hot Club of Newark." When not pursuing the music, she was studying visual arts. (Ten years or so later, she worked as an artist's model, but she concedes that her career in that area was limited because she was too modest to pose completely nude.)
Ms. Gordon fidgets with her hearing aid—ultimately she removes it, announcing she hears better without it—and recalls that one of the first occasions she was legally allowed to hear a set all the way through was when she was 17 and Leadbelly was performing. "Oh my, I was so crazy about Leadbelly. I sat right back there," she says, indicating a table near the back of the room, "and Leadbelly came and sat with me. I wanted to draw him. My God. That fantastic head, that face, that white hair, those cheekbones. At that time I was trying to be an artist. I had art ambitions because I could draw. I sat there at that table with him; I probably just stared at him."
Music was always part of her personal as well as professional life: Both of her husbands were major jazz advocates. In 1942, she married Alfred Lion, the German refugee who was already the founder of Blue Note Records, which became the most important of all jazz labels. It was while she was trying to round up gigs for Blue Note artist Thelonious Monk, who was then regarded as an uncommercial, avant-garde pianist who had a hard time finding work, that Lorraine became reacquainted with the Vanguard's Max Gordon. The first engagement by Monk at the Vanguard was a near disaster—no one was there ("You trying to ruin my business? We're dying with this guy!" Gordon bellowed). But Lorraine's relationship with Max blossomed. After her divorce from Lion, she married Gordon in 1950 and their daughter Rebecca was born later that year; their daughter Deborah, in 1952.
In the beginning, the Vanguard featured a wide variety of acts: folk and blues singers, poets and comedians, as well as jazz. From 1943 to 1964, the Gordons also ran The Blue Angel, a club primarily for singers. By 1955, the Vanguard had shifted to an all-jazz policy; it's still the oldest continuously operated jazz club in the world. Ms. Gordon spent much of the 1960s as an antiwar activist: She was protesting involvement in Vietnam well before most Americans had even heard of Vietnam.
When Max Gordon died in 1989, many assumed the Vanguard would shut down, but Ms. Gordon closed it for exactly one day in his memory, which she has continued to honor by maintaining the Vanguard's status as one of the top jazz venues in the world. She admits that the music has changed in the 75-plus years that she's been listening, and she feels that's a good thing: "Everything changes. Look at me, look at you. Of course it changes—it's a growing art form. Anything that's artistic and pure will change. Otherwise it's a static thing that you don't care about. What's new is the name of the game; if it comes out of the musical ability of artists who play and compose, then it's a valid art form." But Ms. Gordon does insist on some traditional values. "I encourage everyone who plays here to include at least one standard or ballad in every set—I say, no one's going out the door humming that original you wrote 10 minutes ago."
In the past 23 years, the Vanguard has steadily featured regular acts, like pianists Bill Charlap and Fred Hersch, whom longtime patrons expect to see. But Ms. Gordon is also willing to take a chance on new talent she has faith in, like Fabian Almazan, the 27-year-old Cuban keyboardist and refugee who made his leader debut at the Vanguard in 2011. "Look, I have to keep finding new talent," she says, "but I'm not the only club in town. Sometimes I say, 'Go play somewhere else, let them break you in. I'll keep listening, and, when I hear that you're ready, you can come here.'"
In 2005, Ms. Gordon published her memoir, "Alive at the Village Vanguard" (written with Barry Singer). She says that the NEA award was totally unexpected. "It was completely out of the blue. They called me here at the club. A very nice man's voice asked for me. I said, 'Yes, this is she,' and he said, 'This is National Endowment for the Arts.' The first thing I said was, 'Well, how much money do you want?' He laughed, he told me about the award; I couldn't quite grasp it, I asked 'Why?' I was stunned—and still am."
Does she have any thoughts about the award and the ceremony, which will be held at Jazz at Lincoln Center on Jan. 14? "Yes, I do. What am I going to wear?"
Mr. Friedwald writes about jazz for the Journal.

How far is too far?
Have we crossed the line?
Can we be too connected?
Yes, this is a continuation from yesterday's post… sort of.
Today, the second official day off my full social media fast, I started an account on Posterous. I also added more links in my WordPress profile, linked some more of my different platforms together, and tweeted, four-squared, instagramed, pathed, and Facebook-status-updated my way through the day.
On the way home I was listening to a segment on NPR about the integration of Facebook with other media outlets, allowing for more integration between our personal lives, social connections, entertainment options and consumer habits. Many have voiced their concern for lack of privacy and a fear of the gathering of too much personal information. Even today, someone made a comment to me about being off the grid.
Where is all this headed?
Have we gone too far?
Where is the line?
Can we be too connected?

The solution is for the county to buy it as long as it does not interfere Heated debate erupts over rezoning by GLEN MILLER News-Times reporter "...to be continued with a war of words." That's the best way to describe a verbal confrontation between two groups of residents over the rezoning of a residential section of N. Leavitt Road north of North Ridge Road. About eight property owners who want their property rezoned from residential to commercial use were out numbered by opponents from the Rock Creek Run subdivision. After an hour of hearing pro and con comments and arguments, city council decided July 27 to adjourn the public meeting until Sept 15 at 6:30 p.m. "We definitely need more input on this," councilman John Dietrich said. The 55-minute public hearing ended at 7:25 p.m. to allow council's finance committee to briefly meet prior to the start of council at 7:30 p.m. Council members decided to adjourn the hearing because of a lengthy city council agenda and then later tabled action on an ordinance on the rezoning proposal. Dietrich said the delay also will give both skies an opportunity to bolster their file for or against .the rezoning. The subdivision abuts Rock Creek Run properly to the east m May, council was presented with a petition signed by more than 100 subdivision residents opposing (he commercial rezoning for fear it will devalue their property or cause an unsightly mess and noise. Among them was Robert Dono- forio. He reminded council of the principle of majority rule despite the endorsement of the rezoning by city planning and zoning officials. "There are 128 of us and (eight) property owners. You represent us,' too. You should take us into consideration," he said. One of the most vocal opponents was George Schuman, of 483 Rock Creek Run. • Even though about 40 Rock Creek Run opponents were present, he said they could not compete with the expertise of Elyria real estate attorney Michael Blaszak, who represents the N. Leavitt Road property owners. Blaszak cited a six-year-old Ohio Department of Trswsportation traffic study that found 7.5 million cars and trucks drive by the 11 properties each year. He and die number is likely to increase if the proposed Ohio Turnpike interchange is built, making the land unsuitable for anything but cctnmcsTcial development. He reminded council that reaon- ing me properties has been ignored by the city for about 20 yam de- spile the iixusawwaettons of • with the construction of the long- delayed turnpike exchange. The idea was proposed by commissioner Michael Ross during the July 30 meeting at which the loan was voted down. He and fellow commissioner Mary Jo Vasi voted against it while commissioner Betty Blair voted for it His concept involves making the abandoned Wellington to Lorain rail line owned by the Lorain Shore Railway Association part of a larger county economic development effort. Ross and Vasi said they felt uncomfortable guaranteeing the loan without more information and documentation on financing and use of the railroad. "All I've heard.is talk. The state is doing this and the association is doing that, but nobody has anything written down," Vasi said. Ross agreed, but said the railroad could play an important part in the county's economic stability and growth. Regardless of the turnpike interchange's design, the county's purchase of the railroad from the excursion group could be a major link for future development It would provide a major connection to the development of the Lorain County Regional Airport, a rail terminal proposed by Lorain officials, the Lorain Port Authority and USS/Kobe Steel. Just how the railroad might coex ist with the interchange will be decided Aug. 10 by the Ohio Turnpike Commission. It will decide whether to use an underpass beneath the turnpike or build a redesigned entrance-Axil using bridges built over the highway. The underpass is sought by the railway association and prompted a deal whereby the railway would pay for a redesign. If the underpass plan is chosen, it will end Lake Shore's dream of a and Ma clients wtve accompanied by Alan Weinetaw, • Cool dip The pool looks inviting, and so do the prizes that accompany the ducks in this miniature pond, set up during the Amherst Public Li brary's Summer Reading Fun Fair.

Depending on the availability of members of the two groups, the mayor hopes to hold a joint meeting in city council chambers Aug. 17. Several township policies are being questioned by the city, but the chief concerns involve the proposed Joint Economic Development District (JEDD), free fire protection for the district and the bonding of city utility crews who do work within the township. Higgins suggested the meeting to city council after township trustee David Urig presented him with a list of "demands" during a recent meeting between the two. Talks over the development of a 60-acre JEDD between the Norfolk Southern rail line and Ackerman Road have come to a standstill since Urig and fellow trustee Ronald Leoni have sought changes in an agreement drafted by a JEDD expert and the mayor. The trustees want free fire protection in the area and township voter approval before the JEDD can be* expanded to areas not contiguous to it Both changes are opposed by Higgins and council members. Under the existing agreement, township voter approval only would be necessary to formally create the JEDD, not expand it Higgins and council members contend the expansion process would take at least seven months every time voter approval is sought. The delay would drive businesses away from the JEDD rather than attract them, jobs and additional tax income for the city and township. In addition, the township would have to pay for the issue to be continuously placed on the ballot Trustee David Urig said the current agreement may not be suitable for every area of the township. "Different areas have different needs," he explained. "One area may already have utilities, another may not or it may net be suitable." In addition, Urig said township residents may not warn to give blanket approval for expansion of the JEDD beyond a given area. "We just believe this is the right thing and people should have a voice in what happens, that's al." he added. The demand for free fire protection within the JEDD also disturbs the mayor.
