When economists wrestle with issues such as unemployment, inflation, or budget deficits, they do so by incorporating an impersonal, detached mode of reasoning. But economists also analyze issues that, to others, typically do not fall within the realm of economic reasoning, such as organ transplants, cigarette addiction, overeating, and product safety. Trade-Offsis an introduction to the economic approach to analyzing these controversial public policy issues. Harold Winter provides readers with the analytical tools needed to identify and understand the trade-offs associated with these topics. By considering both the costs and benefits of potential policy solutions, Winter stresses that real-world decision making is best served by an explicit recognition of as many trade-offs as possible. This new edition incorporates recent developments in policy debates, including the rise of "new paternalism," or policies designed to protect people from themselves; alternative ways to increase the supply of organs available for transplant; and economic approaches to controlling infectious disease. Intellectually stimulating yet accessible and entertaining, Trade-Offswill be appreciated by students of economics, public policy, health administration, political science, and law, as well as by anyone who follows current social policy debates.

For anyone following #SharpieChallenge2014, I'm sorry to let you know that at least for one more day, I will not be writing on my face with Sharpie due to a lack of blogging. Sorry to disappointment you. But on the bright side, I have a new blog! Even the past two days have had plenty of excitement to blog about. Yesterday was packed with things to do and people to see. Sometimes the best thing to relax your mind at college is to get off of campus just for an hour to hang out with friends. Going to Little Mexico with my friends Dylan, Josh, Jeremy, and Jacob ended up being a spontaneous, but hilarious substitute to dinner at the fraternity like normal.
Immediately after Little Mexico, we headed to a community meeting put on by Freedom Indiana, to work on a short campaign focused on winning over Senator Phil Boots to vote against the marriage amendment bill HJR-3, on which the Senate will vote on Monday. Since Wabash College took an official stance against HJR-3 last November, a group of Wabash students, the self-titled "Say Yes to Hess" group, has been very involved in Freedom Indiana's campaign. I love getting involved politically for something that I see as the defining fight of my generation. Having such a close group of friends that I can work with on this issue is just another great experience I've had coming to a school the size of Wabash.
Once we were done fighting for liberty inside, we took the fight outside for the annual campus snowball fight, complete with Rhynie burgers and the National Anthem, sung by yours truly. Though I am by no means tone-deaf, I am not a talented singer either, so when I was volunteered by my Rhyne brothers to sing the National Anthem, in front of a massive crowd of about 30 people, I was a little anxious. I climbed up onto a snowbank, held my Rhynie pot over my heart, and decided that if I couldn't sing well, at least I could sing loudly. Surprisingly enough, it went well, and I even hit the high notes with minimal creakage. All in all, I'd say I did my forefathers proud.
This morning, the Rhynies suited up and waddled outside in the cold encouraging students and staff to "Go to Chapel!" Folks, it's colder than it looks. Come out to the wrestling meet tonight for some more burgers, and to see the Rhynies perform a WWE Royal Rumble during intermission!
Take it easy, Wabash.

"We will come out of this," Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu said of his team's 2-6 start. The time is now.
The park was buzzing before the game. A sellout crowd at Safeco Field was willing to forget about the Mariners' poor start and forgive them their lack of offense.
Death Cab for Cutie warmed up the audience with a couple of baseball songs. Randy Johnson lit a fire, throwing a ceremonial strike to his former catcher Dan Wilson.
Edgar Martinez, Jay Buhner and Ken Griffey Jr. joined them for an on-the-mound reunion, reminding us of how good it once was here and offering hope that it can be that good again.
And then the game began. And the Mariners' bats remained silent. And a hush fell over Safeco that was as profound as sorrow.

Most Read Stories
They're eight games into the season and the Mariners have scored a mere 21 runs. They have only 55 hits and have struck only three home runs.
They haven't scored a run in their past 13 innings.
Like a basketball team that doesn't move the ball, the Mariners' offense is stagnant. Nothing is happening.
The club is hitting .212. Its on-base percentage is a tepid .287. They have won two of their first eight.
With all of this logical angst about starter Cliff Lee's strained abdominal muscle and worry about when he will begin the year, it seems as if the Mariners really need another Lee, like Derrek, or Carlos, even more than Cliff.
The players at the top of the order, Ichiro and Chone Figgins, are hitting .250 and .207. Three of the nine starters in Monday's 4-0 loss to Oakland are hitting below .200.
Milton Bradley, the big stick the M's desperately need in the middle of the order, has one hit this season. Eight games into the year, it's time for him to announce his presence.
This is a lineup that is a couple of bats short of a load; a lineup that, in the best of times, is going to rely on timely hitting and smart baserunning.
It's a team built for small ball, but as it is put together now, there is nobody besides the emerging Franklin Gutierrez who should scare opposing pitchers.
"A lot of guys on this club right now are trying to do it all," manager Don Wakamatsu said.
So when the Mariners face a soft-tossing right-hander like Oakland's Justin Duchscherer, instead of following the game plan and taking his pitches to the opposite field, every Mariner is trying to win the game with one swing.
Against Oakland, the Mariners put only two runners into scoring position. The final eight M's were retired in order.
"You look out there during the course of that ballgame," Wakamatsu said, "and you see a lot of guys with their heads down a little bit, something we're going to talk about (Tuesday). Something we're going to attack and continue to work and continue to be positive."
This isn't as bad as it looks. Their respective histories say that Ichiro, Figgins and Bradley will hit. They will get on base. They will get the game moving.
As former Mariners manager Mike Hargrove used to say, "You have to trust the backs of their baseball cards."
This isn't as bad as it looks, but it isn't good. The lack of power in this lineup is alarming. And that lack of power can pressure players into trying to be something they're not.
Twice, Griffey had chances to light a spark Monday.
He struck out with Gutierrez on third and the M's down 1-0 in the fourth. And he was robbed by second baseman Adam Rosales, who turned a 4-6 force play after Jose Lopez led off the seventh with a single.
The Mariners can't win this season if Griffey hits .214 as he did last season. Nostalgia won't win pennants.
"These guys care," Wakamatsu said. "It's not just a matter of going out there and winging it. These guys care a lot about it, and what you see a lot of times is guys taking it upon themselves. You see a bunch of individuals and not relying on one another."
When they are playing well, as they did for long stretches last season, the Mariners can be as fun to watch as a fastbreaking NBA team.
They run the bases. They hit-and-run. They make plays in the field. They play the game the right way. And they win close games.
But on opening day at Safeco, with 45,876 forgiving fans waiting for something to happen, the Mariners played a joyless nine innings. Nothing happened.
The M's dampened the fire their honored alumni Johnson, Wilson, Martinez and Buhner lit.
"We will come out of this," Wakamatsu promised.
The time is now.

Rosalind Russell
Rosalind Russell
About this actor
Rosalind Russell (June 4, 1907 – November 28, 1976) was an American actress of stage and screen, perhaps best known for her role as a fast-talking newspaper reporter in the Howard Hawks screwball comedy His Girl Friday, as well as the role of Mame Dennis in the film Auntie Mame. She won all 5 Golden Globes for which she was nominated, and was tied with Meryl Streep for wins until 2007 when Streep was awarded a sixth. Russell won a Tony Award in 1953 for Best Performance by an Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Ruth in the Broadway show Wonderful Town (a musical based the film My Sister Eileen, in which she also starred). Russell was known for playing character roles, exceptionally wealthy, dignified ladylike women. She had a wide career span from the 1930s to the 1970s and attributed her long career to the fact that, although usually playing classy and glamorous roles, she never became a sex symbol, thereby not being famous for her looks. Rosalind Russell was one of seven...

text: I just bought an old Raleigh Competition with Campy Nuovo Gran Sport components. The components are not horribly dirty, but they are far from clean. I want to disassemble them completely one at a time and polish and re-grease them. This is my first experience with campy and I was hoping that some of you would have tips or warnings to help me out. Confidence is not my problem, lack of experience is.

Distribution: Found primarily in large streams of the Missouri and Mississippi River systems from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Dakotas southward; possible to extreme southwestern Alabama, southern and western Mississippi, Louisiana, and eastern Texas.
Habitat: Typically found in large rivers and their backwaters, but also occupies lakes, ponds, sloughs, bayous, oxbows, and occasionally marshes. The false map turtle prefers water with abundant aquatic vegetation, places to bask, and slow currents, but can be found in swiftly flowing channels of large rivers.
Behavior: Activity varies geographically, but generally ranges from late March to mid-October (Johnson 1983). Emergence from overwintering (observed in Wisconsin) occurs in April when water temperatures are 4-7 o C (Vogt 1980). Overwintering sites typically include muskrat lodges or bank burrows. It is not uncommon for the false map turtle to be seen basking during winter days in its more southerly range. It spends the majority of its day basking (from 0900 to 1800 hr) on muskrat lodges, logs, rock piles, sandbars, or stumps. Basking rarely occurs on or near shore. Basking turtles stretch their hind limbs, spread the webbing between the toes, and extend the head and forelimbs. Basking turtles are extremely wary and difficult to approach. Entrance into the water by one turtle is usually followed by all those basking in the general vicinity. Movement data of this turtle is sparse. In summer months, most males move into quiet backwaters to forage. Females also move into backwaters to forage after laying their first clutch of eggs (Vogt 1980).
Reproduction: Mating (data obtained from one study in Wisconsin) probably occurs in April and again in October and November (Vogt 1980) but has been observed in a captive male in July (Ernst 1974). The nesting season (Wisconsin) lasts from mid-May to late July. First clutches are usually laid by mid-May to mid-June (Vogt 1980). Nest construction occurs from 0545 and 2030 hr; however, most clutches are deposited from 0630 to 1000 hr on overcast days. Nests are located in open sand areas or in areas dominated by low shrubs. Nests are flask-shaped and dug with the hind limbs. Two and possibly three clutches, from 8-22 eggs (varies with subspecies), are laid per year. Natural incubation lasts from 60 to 82 days (Ewert 1979a). Gender determination correlates with incubation temperature (males at < 25 oC; females at > 30 oC).
Food Habits: The false map turtle is omnivorous, feeding on mollusks, insects (e.g., mayfly and damselfly larvae), and plant material (Vallisneria, Potamogeton, and Lemna). In addition to consuming the same insects as females, males eat beetles, flies, and fish carrion (Vogt 1981a, 1981b). In its southern range, mollusks are the principal component of the diet.
Populations: Declining populations in Missouri are attributed to several factors, including water pollution, river channelization, reduction of suitable nesting sites, siltation, and unlawful shooting (Johnson 1983). In the past, the pet trade has also influenced population stability. Commercial fish-ermen reported that the species was more abundant 25 years earlier in the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, but has now become uncommon and all but eradicated for several river miles below Kansas City and St. Louis. They attributed this decline to water pollution.

However many people who eat those calorie IEDs will forever hate unions. Yesterday, some [fat] union leader or Liberal politician (interchangeble IMHO) said Republicans hate workers. Right!
China Eying Airbase in Azores, which we are likely abandoning. Obama concerned? Fat chance. DOD could and probably should move AFCOM HQ from Germany there, much closer to Africa. But then the brass would be further from the hotspots (clubs) of Europe. Not that much. Climate is certainly more hospitable. UPDATE: I just watched an interview with Gordon Chang, author of linked column. His first point was about the new Chinese leadership, the inner circle of 7 men, 4-6 of them being "hardliners," which he defined as very conservative and nationalistic, unfriendly to any overtures with outsiders on any issue other than trade; NOT interested in the integration of China into the international system. He then spoke about the danger if the US abandoned the airbase on Terceira, Azores, the link above. This, of course, relates directly to the sequestration issue.
Obama Said to Reject Request to Ease Corn-Based Ethanol Law Idiots or intent to raise US fuel prices and world-wide food prices. Dumb, dumber and dumbest.
Jill Kelly calls a buddy who is an FBI Agent because she has received 'harrassing email.' He gets an investigation launched, which brings down Petraeus, Broadwell and who knows who else. Peggy Noonan puts the so obvious question into front and center: "Just about everyone, certainly every woman, in the public eye in America receives aggressive, insulting, menacing emails. We didn't know we could get FBI investigations opened for that! Maybe our mistake is not being honorary consuls with inviolability." Oh, and, BTW, she dined at the White House 3 times over the last 3 months. WTF is all that about? Interviewing to become Ambassador to China? I don't think so.
Holder Comes Up Short, Again His excuse for NOT telling Obama about the investigation of Petraeus doesn't reach the threshold of pathetic. "If Holder really did not inform Obama of the DOJ investigation into the Petraeus-Broadwell-Kelley matter, then he clearly failed to do his duty." If he did, which I doubt we'll ever know, then it would be Obama keeping the lid on until after the election, which would not be surprising.
Petraeus Testimony. CIA Talking Points changed, omitting al qaeda. All testimony denies knowledge of who wiped out that mention, although the excuse was "for security purposes." BS! AQ is typically used to include all the known and unknown branches, including ansar al sharia, the Libyan label. The "editing" of the talking points, not surprisingly, is by multiple agencies, including the White House. Which, I ask, would be most invested in omitting either the word terrorism and/or al qaeda? If this is not the absolute proof of an attempted cover-up, nothing is. Peter King, R-NY, present at today's closed door briefing and that on Sep 14, does not recall Petraeus' testimony the way he summarized it. That part of the story may fade. Democrats are still defending the Regime. Given the circumstantial evidence, that's like Robin Hood trying to defend, single handed, against the Mongol Hoard.
3 More States Opt out of Seting up State-Run Insurance Exchanges OH, IN and Probably WIjoin TX, FL, AK, and probably Michigan as they discover the quick sand for their residents. Probably to be joined by states with Dem governors, as well. In a nutshell, here's a/the primary reason for a state NOT to establish its own Exchange: " If the State elects to establish its own Exchange, the Federal Government will make "advance payments" of premium tax credits to insurance companies on behalf of some of the State's residents to subsidize health insurance enrollment through the State-created Exchange, but the payment of the subsidy for even one employee triggers costly obligations on the part of the employer that would not be triggered in a non-electing State, placing the electing State at a competitive disadvantage for jobs and job growth."
Testimony of "rampant" fraud in VA by Poll Watcher. This was NOT an inner city.precinct. Same name as prior voter; could not understand "Please state name and address;" age on photo ID totally different than appearance of "voter." Guess for whom all the fraudulent votes were for (judging by statistics.)
OUTRAGE DU JOUR – WARNING: There are so many outrages emanating from the Regime, that the Category is on overload.
Regime officials using fake email accounts for intra-regime correspondence, to avoid oversight. House Committee investigating. Definitely impeachable.

The brand-new "Get to Work" show on Sundance offers a behind-the-scenes look at the STRIVE program, a sort of career boot camp targeted at chronically unemployed Americans like drug addicts, ex-cons, the working poor, the homeless and the welfare dependent. Sundance describes the program as "an unfiltered, uncompromising look at the work of Second Chance in San Diego and the STRIVE program, a workforce training model dedicated to getting America back to work."
The STRIVE program was founded in Harlem, New York and now has outposts all over the U.S. and U.K.; Sundance producers picked the San Diego branch due to its diverse client base. Instructors coach participants on stress management, punctuality and staying sober -- basics that can keep them employed long enough to learn on-the-job skills.
"We went into this and shot it as a documentary," showrunner Jeff Grogan told Fast Company. Grogan has previously worked on shows like "Intervention" and "Relapse," so he's no stranger to hard-hitting unscripted shows. "We wanted to show that not everyone does make it, that some people aren't ready to make a change in their lives."
See the trailer for the "Get to Work" show below. What do you think about this view of joblessness?

PHOENIX, Arizona, January 6. SWIMMING World has confirmed that Sean Hutchison has not resigned his position as coach for the USOC Professional and Post-Graduate Center in Southern California. Contrary to what was first reported by the Washington Post, no verbal or written resignation was ever submitted.
After a short holiday break, Hutchinson resumed coaching the elite swimmers associated with the USOC-funded program that is channeled through USA Swimming as a program hosted by Fullerton Aquatic Swim Team (FAST).
It was first reported that Hutchinson resigned his relationship with FAST, after an investigation into rumors turned up no evidence that Hutchinson acted improperly with his athletes.
Bill Jewell, CEO and head coach of FAST told Swimming World that "He (Hutchison) did not resign. He was not fired. I do not know who started those rumors nor how it got into the press. Sean did communicate a plan to move on at some point and I support that 100 percent. That is the current plan we are working under."
In the meantime it is "business as usual", said Jewell.
When asked if Jewell would give Sean a positive reference the answer was: "Absolutely!"
Jewell went on to communicate his long-term vision of having FAST continue hosting one of the USOC Professional and Post-Graduate Centers. "I have strong verbal commitments from the USOC and Chuck Wielgus, executive director for USA Swimming, to continue supporting the center", said Jewell. Currently FAST supports the Professional and Post-Graduate Center coaches and athletes with travel, uniforms and free pool time.
The two other swimming-related centers are located at North Baltimore Aquatic Club and SwimMAC-Carolina.

This is a Nintendo Rubik's Cube made by deviantARTist r4r3truffle. Instead of just different colored sides it has elements from some of the most popular games over the years. I like it. Of course, I've never actually solved a Rubik's Cube before. Which, I SAID I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

No DVD Boot Regarding the "No DVD Boot" problem in Linux Magazine, issue #64 / March 2006, p50, where the BIOS would boot from CD but not DVD, you might find a simple answer is to make the DVD player the master and the CD the slave on the relevant controller. I had the same problem. I could boot from CD but not DVD until I switched controller connectors, and now I can boot from DVD (but not the CD). Thanks for your input! You're right; some boards need a bootable IDE/ ATA-device as the master; otherwise, they just ignore the device until the operating system loads a driver for it. I have something to add, too, from a recent case where Knoppix (and other Live CDs) would show the bootscreen, but as soon as the kernel and ramdisk were loaded, the DVD drive magically disappeared, causing an error message that the file system could not be found – on the same device where the kernel and initrd were previously loaded without problems. The reason was a missing master drive on that IDE port, and the DVD drive was a sentinel slave. Rejumpering the drive to be the master at this port fixed the problem. What amazes me most in the case of a wrongly jumpered DVD drive is the fact that when no driver is loaded (i.e., when the BIOS is used to transfer data from the drive), everything worked, until the system switched to protected mode and the correct driver for the controller was loaded, and then the drive disappeared. Makes you wonder about hardware and BIOS design.

This is one in a series of courses that focus on the phases of The Requirements Discovery Process. This course is intended to take the participant through a process of describing and documenting business information or data needs for your project, regardless of the corporate system development methodology, or technical platform implementation.
For those who are relatively new to data modeling concepts, we have simplified the rules of normalization and business rules that give you a jump-start on your next project. If you are more experienced in data modeling, you will see the ease of obtaining the object definition, relationships, cardinality and modality from your clients which enable you to build a solid conceptual data model, based on true business needs. Additionally, you'll have the context for data usage for each business process. And we'll be applying best practices along the way so that the resulting requirements you specify will conform to industry best practices and standard deliverables.
Business Analysts, Business Systems Analysts, Systems Analysts, Project Managers, Business Managers
You can use these techniques regardless of the development environment to describe requirements when you are:
In this course you will learn:
Straightforward & practical Jan 1, 2003 Reviewer: Darrin from City of ChicagoI liked the fact that this was very straightforward - not a lot of theory, do this and do this and you do this because of this and show the relationships of why you do certain things and how they all inter-relate.
User Friendly - Clear Examples Jan 1, 2003 Reviewer: Chad from TNT LogisticsVery user friendly -- a clear, comprehensive course. It walks you through everything with clear examples…not lacking in information & examples.
No nonsense Jan 1, 2003 Reviewer: Lynn from Lab Corp of AmericaThis is a wonderful, no nonsense approach. I like how technical concepts (like normalization and relationship theory) are laid out simply in layman's terms.

A story that illustrates well the deep bonds between Canada's unions, communists, Islamic terror and antisemitism. Worth clicking through for the whole article.
H/T Grace
Toronto Sun:
First posted: | Updated:
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) was in Porto Alegre for the World Social Forum's "Free Palestine" conference, which wrapped Saturday.
There, the five-person delegation had the option of attending a conference session devoted to calling for the release of Ahmad Saadat from an Israeli jail.
Saadat was sentenced in 2008 to 30 years behind bars for heading the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Israel suspects he helped orchestrate the 2001 assassination of Israeli tourism minister Rehavam Zeevi by the PFLP – a militant group with a history of violence founded on Marxist-Leninist ideology.
In 2003, Public Safety Canada listed the PFLP as a group associated with terrorism for its history of hijacking planes and the use of suicide bombers and car bombings.
Supporters view Saadat as a political prisoner. His predecessor, Abu Ali Mustafa, was killed in 2001 by Israeli forces.
On its website, the PFLP promotes the forum and Saadat himself penned a jailhouse letter to delegates calling for an end to imperialism and an expanded boycott on Israeli products.
CUPW didn not return calls Saturday for an interview. It's not known whether their delegates attended the workshop and CUPW documents say it supports only non-violent opposition to Israel.
Tory MP Pierre Poilievre – who supports optional union dues and backs legislation seeking to open their books – called the trip "indefensible."
"What does any of this have to do with representing the interests of postal workers?" he asked.

Last week's foul weather closed down all attempts to clean up BP's Deepwater Horizon disaster for almost 4 days. The weather finally cleared and we were some of the first out on the water to check out what happens when the attempts to clean this mess up, come to a halt. We were on the water as the sun rose and the crews started circling the small islands off of Grand Isle, LA. We watched as they searched the debreis and dead birds.

Quick Takes
Chewed out
An alleged tractor-trailer thief in Vancouver, Wash., took more from the rig's driver than he expected. Police say Cuitlahvac Renteria-Martinez was stealing a $60,000 Freightliner last week when he took a drink from a cup that had been left inside the cab. He didn't realize until he had swallowed that the cup contained the driver's tobacco spit. Police were already in pursuit when Mr. Renteria-Martinez called 911, telling the operator that he was choking and needed help.
Cold snap
How cold was it in Canada last week? The Reuters news service reports that police in Ottawa received around 20 calls on the evening of Jan. 17 from citizens reporting gunshots and other suspicious noises. Authorities responded to each call, but quickly determined that a crime wave was not occurring: The minus-40-degree weather had caused some houses to produce large cracking noises.
Nail biter
Colorado construction worker Patrick Lawler couldn't figure out why he had a toothache and blurred vision earlier this month. He finally went to a dentist when the problems persisted and discovered the culprit: A four-inch nail had been embedded in his skull for six days after a Jan. 6 work accident with a nail gun. Mr. Lawler had thought that only the gun itself had hit him, but in reality it sent a nail into his mouth and 1.5 inches into his brain. At a press conference after doctors successfully removed the nail, reporters asked Mr. Lawler what was going through his mind. His response: "a new career."
Animal house
What may have looked like a zoo last week in San Jose, Calif., was really a convention of about 1,700 "furries," or adults who like to take on the identities of animals and dress up like them. The Further Confusion convention, aka FurCon, is held annually, and Raccoon impersonator and FurCon co-founder Lee Strom says the event is a matter of perspective: "Just because it's weird, it's still perfectly normal to the people involved in it."
Ghost busted
Mysterious creaking sounds and other strange nighttime noises had some convinced that a 15th-century Alpine castle was haunted. But the noises turned out to have a very this worldly source. The AFP news service reports that police this month set up hidden cameras in Castel Coldrano to find the source of the noises, which turned out to be the woman who ran the castle's cultural center. An Italian court sentenced the ghost impersonator, whom police did not identify, to four months in prison.
Fighting Frank
Purveyor of such cheesy items as Virgin Mary sandwiches, eBay last week proved it can cook up real value. The parents of David Dingman-Grover, 9, had been using the website to raise money for a biopsy their son needs on a large brain tumor he named "Frank." But the Richmond, Va., family announced last week that Dr. Hrayr Shahinian of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has agreed to perform the highly specialized pediatric neurosurgery for free. It may have been the family's good-humored approach that impressed the doctor: To raise money, the Dingman-Grovers were auctioning bumper stickers that said "Frank Must Die."

Sort of. She lip-syncs very oddly. Maybe it's her huge mouth? It almost looks as if she could swallow that microphone whole at any point in time.
Heidi Montag Sings
I think its her jazz hands that make is so great
This girl is attractive; however, are we trying to make a star out of someone who really doesn't have "star" qualities? Something with which to ponder.
I would think someone starring in a fake TV show about her fake life with a fake boyfriend would be able to fake singing better than that.
I hate to sound like an old fart, but anyone seriously into "The Hills" and its personalities really needs to turn off the TV set and rejoin the rest of Planet Earth.
Well Chaz, apparently you are "into" the show as much as you'd hate to admit it since you know what it's about enough to make that comment.
'Physician heal thyself'
I felt like yelling out Praise Jesus everytime she raised her hands.
A religious experience on so many levels.
she needs to learn how to dance. ive seen her on the hills dancing and homegirl needs to learn some new moves. Team Lauren!
Liz, all I know about the show is what I read here. Hit close to home, did I?
oh I don't find this hooker attractive at all. She looks like her mama mated with a damn horse.
What a talentless ho-bag! I cannot stand this girl. I feel like The Hills was more fun to watch when its stars weren't "newsworthy" (not that they are now).
holy hell, Spencer looks like he thinks he's at a REVIVAL. This is terrible, in the truest sense of the word. What a whack-job.
she needs to stop it with the diva gestures and put that shit away.
it actually looks like she dancing around and lip synching to one of her favorite artists on tv (circa 10 years old). so that's how she got those moves…
Now that….is embarrasin!
Does she actually think she's going to be a hit? Has anyone hit her and Spencer with a reality check yet?
She's terrible. Whoever it was that said she looked like a 10 year old playing "singer" is so spot on.
The hands were hilarious. How could anyone be that into a song like that? It's like, have you ever watched something shitty like America's Funniest Videos or some crap like that, something your parents like, and there's a dumb joke or a loser-ass video that is dumb as shit and they cut to the audience who are laughing hysterically and wiping tears from their eyes and you're thinking, "seriously?? that???" That's what I thought of when I watched that.
She's got Tori Spelling face.
What. The. Hell. Is. Wrong. With. Her.

"Lucas Cranach the Elder," Städel Museum, Frankfurt, Germany. Through Feb. 17. Slide show.
As an antidote to all the reports on contemporary art and the art market in Miami, check out Peter Schjeldahl's essay in The New Yorker on the Cranach retrospective in Frankfurt. Cranach's work, which was painted back in the 1500s during tough times of the religious Reformation, speaks to contemporary audiences. "There are contemporary tangs to this most bewildering paragon of a cohort which included the Leonardoesque Albrecht Dürer and the dazzling Hans Holbein the Younger. Cranach was a sometime religious revolutionary and a full-time entrepreneur. In his work, early strains of late-Gothic blood and guts give way first to courtly high styles, then to pictorial propagandizing for the new theology of his friend Martin Luther—even as, strangely, Cranach continued to oblige Roman Catholic clients. (Those were intricate times.) He rivalled Dürer and Holbein in portraiture, and he developed product lines of delirious erotica and hilarious genre scenes. Buyers seemingly couldn't get enough of his 'ill-matched couples;' fatuous geezers or crones acuddle with gold-digging babes or young bucks. With a prolific workshop, so well coached that its authorship can be hard to distinguish from his own, and with businesses in real estate, publishing, and a liquor-licensed pharmacy, Cranach became one of the richest men in the Lutheran stronghold of Saxony. He was three times the mayor of Wittenberg. As an artist, he siphoned his era's chaotic energies into wonderments of style. His re-visionings of humanity are philosophically resonant and lots of fun." Read more.

Husky Crew Mourns Two Passings
In the last seven days, the Washington crew program has experienced a pair of unfortunate passings. On Feb. 3, W. Hart Perry - step-father of women's crew assistant Colin Sykes - died at the age of 77. Perry had a distinguished career coaching rowing in the Northeast and was an instrumental figure in helping the Huskies' gain entry to the Henley Royal Regatta. Perry was also the executive director of the National Rowing Foundation. He lived his life to serve the sport he loved.
Last week, the Huskies also mourned the loss of Virginia Varnell Dunn. Her name is associated with the annual Class Day Regatta trophy, and last year she presented her father's trophy (George M. Varnell) to the winner of the men's class race on the Montlake Cut. Mr. Varnell was at one point in his career the sports editor of the Seattle Times.

Clash over JPS - Paulwell said to be at odds with Mian over status of 360-megawatt project
Arthur Hall, Senior News Editor
Reports have surfaced that a clash of wills between outgoing Director General of the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR), Ahmad Zia Mian, and Energy Minister Phillip Paulwell has played a huge role in the confusion which has surrounded the Jamaica Public Service Company's (JPS) proposed 360-megawatt (MW) project.
High-level sources in the energy sector have claimed that Mian, who leaves office on Friday, has rebuffed efforts by Paulwell to give the JPS another extension to finalise plans to carry out the multibillion-dollar project.
Paulwell yesterday responded to a Gleaner article published yesterday which quoted Mian as saying the JPS project was dead.
In his mid-morning release, Paulwell claimed, "The Government had not yet received a final position from the OUR in relation to this matter".
"I am aware that the JPS has made a revised submission on the 360MW bid, and we have been in discussions with the OUR but, to date, we have received nothing formal to take to Cabinet," added Paulwell in a seemingly backhanded confirmation that the ministry had sought more time for the power company.
Rfp at an end
But by late afternoon the OUR issued its release stating that the JPS and its stakeholders had been informed since last Friday that the request for proposal (RFP) process with JPS in relation to the 360 MW project was at an end.
"The advisory came after JPS and the project company, South Jamaica Power Company Limited (SJPC), missed another deadline which was granted to facilitate the provision of project agreements, identify the supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for the project and provide a renewed bid security," stated the OUR.
In a release yesterday, JPS President and CEO Kelly Tomblin said the OUR's decision to end the RFP process was disappointing "as the new power plant would have contributed to a significant reduction in electricity rates".
Said Tomblin: "The termination of the process means that our customers will have to wait longer to see a real reduction in electricity charges."
The regulator said it had already allowed the extensions to facilitate the negotiations of the project agreements between JPS and SJPC, and a fuel supply agreement between JPS and suppliers of natural gas.
"This was the third extension granted by the OUR to JPS and SJPC. They were given until January 30 to complete the outstanding matters relating to the bid," said the regulator.
"The OUR's decision comes bearing in mind its mandate and its overarching duty to the public and the national interest," added the regulator, also in a thinly disguised response to Paulwell.
In late 2011, JPS was awarded the right to construct a 360MW combined cycle plant after it was the only bidder to supply new generating capacity to the national grid on a build, own and operate basis. The award was assigned to SJPC whose shareholding consisted of JPS, and JPS's major shareholders.
Scheduled completion
The plant was originally scheduled for completion by mid-2014 and was part of the project to supply up to 480MW of new generating capacity for the country in various tranches.
This new capacity was intended for the displacement of approximately 292 MW of aged plants with the remainder to provide for demand growth.
Yesterday, in a move seeming to support his stance for the extension to the JPS, Paulwell used his media release to note that the OUR has presented him with an analysis of the country's electricity demand and supply.
Paulwell noted that the OUR concluded, among other things, that there was no need for the procurement of new capacity on an emergency basis, and that such a procurement at this time would be "at best sub-optimal".
"In that report, the OUR confirmed that Jamaica is not in danger of experiencing blackouts between now and 2017," said Paulwell.
He said the OUR's ruling would be discussed and a position taken at the monthly meeting of the Jamaica Energy Council on Friday before the matter is referred to the Cabinet.
However, any change to the OUR's position could see the regulator and the ministry facing off in court over the legality of any course accepted that is not in keeping with yesterday's announcement from the OUR.

ING Direct Canada unveils OrangeTweets, a new way to experience Twitter
ING Direct fans on Twitter will revel in the bank's latest offering—and no, it doesn't have much to do with money.
ING has launched OrangeTweets, a website that is essentially a Twitter stream, but cooler. First, you get to listen to soft music and the hot air puffs from balloons that drift gently upward, each one containing a tweet from the bank's various Twitter accounts, including @SuperStarSaver and @CEO_INGDirect, plus their city accounts like @OrangeYVR. You can filter the balloons (AKA tweets) by account or hashtag.
Blimps even occasionally float by to remind you how awesome ING is.
The filters keep the website from being completely impractical, but even if it were, the website is nonetheless a fun break from the standard way of reading a twitter feed.
