Only 21 days left until the U.S. turns into a fiscal pumpkin at the stroke of midnight, and the media is still bombarding the American public at every turn. Yet, a recent Business Insider Poll showed that by a wide margin, 47 percent versus 12 percent, Americans believe a full-on fiscal cliff would actually increase the deficit rather than decrease it.
In the spirit of providing clarity on this apparently misunderstood issue, the so-called fiscal cliff amounts to the dual threat of automatic across the board cuts to federal spending and tax increases, enough to dip the economy back into recession in 2013.
The U.S. deficit is defined as the annual difference between federal outlays and receipts. As such, dramatic decreases in expenditures and increases in revenues would, therefore, decrease the deficit. In fact, a full-on U.S. version of an austerity bomb would reduce the deficit from $1.1 trillion in 2012 to a projected $650 billion in 2013.
This would amount to the single largest annual drop in the deficit since 1969.
Conversely, if we extended all of the current policies, including contemporary tax rates and levels of expenditure, the deficit would reach $1 trillion for the fifth consecutive year. This is a moot point, however, as the spending cuts and tax rate increases were part of the Budget Control Act of 2011 signed by both Congress and the White House.
But by and large, the largest portion of the deficit discrepancy between the polar fiscal scenarios lies in the extension of tax policies enacted in 2001 and 2003.
At this point, however, the debate centers squarely on whether the wealthiest Americans should pay more in taxes. Since this slice of the debate has received considerable attention, I will forego providing, once again, my own two cents.
Now, most economists are concerned that cutting the deficit too fast too soon would be detrimental to an already fragile economy in the midst of a moderate recovery. It is certainly clear that something must be done as the growth rate in the debt to GDP ratio is clearly unsustainable in the medium to longer term, but timing is key.
The current administration wishes to extend all Bush-era tax cuts for marginal tax rates below 98 percent of income earned.
As Timothy Geithner, the current U.S. secretary of the treasury has remarked recently, even for the top 2 percent of income earners, only their income above, say, $250,000 would be taxed at a higher marginal tax rate. All income below that threshold would receive the extended preferential tax treatment from the Bush-era tax cuts.
Likewise, all individuals whose income falls below the threshold would also benefit from the extension of the marginal tax rate cuts.
So, shouldn't we set caps on federal spending as a percent of GDP? No. This would imply that funding to help our economy weather the storm of inherent contractions and recessions would mechanically be cut when GDP fell. This is policy that flies squarely in the face of all economic intuition and places a stranglehold on the sole entity that has the flexibility to dampen the degree of such costly downturns.
There is an old doctrine asserting that increases in government spending crowd out what would have been an equal amount of private-sector investment. But interest rates are at rock bottom and firm level investment is still inadequate.
Even though the degree of displacement, if any, is extremely sensitive to the position of the economy on the business cycle, this doctrine would imply that cuts associated with the fiscal cliff would spur an equal amount of increased investment from the private sector. This is a tough sell given the projected health of the economy next year.
So, let's get Congress and the White House together, brew some coffee and lock the doors until a deal is hatched out. Better yet, let's go full bore off the fiscal cliff. This will finally show what narrow-minded brinkmanship can accomplish for this country: a recession.

Opening this weekend is the third film in the Men in Black franchise. Barry Sonnenfeld returns as director and the story finds Will Smith's Agent J travelling back in time to save Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K. In addition to Bill Hader as Andy Warhol, Josh Brolin plays a younger version of Jones' character and does an incredible job. You'll absolutely think you're watching Jones as a young man. Men in Black 3 also stars Jemaine Clement, Alice Eve, and Emma Thompson. In addition, make-up effects artist Rick Baker returns to the franchise and you can see some of his creature work here. For more on the film, here's all our previous coverage.
Last week I got to speak with most of the cast and every day this week I'll be posting a new interview. Yesterday was Tommy Lee Jones and today I've got Will Smith. During the interview we talked about when he knew they could make another Men in Black, the impact Star Wars had on him as a kid, how many takes he likes to do, and more. In addition, we talked about future projects like M. Night Shyamalan's After Earth, and I tried to get updates on Independence Day 2, Bad Boys 3, I Am Legend 2 and Hancock 2. Hit the jump to watch.
Will Smith
- I start off by telling him how happy I am that he's back making movies
- What are some of his favorite movies. Talks about the impact Star Wars had on him
- Star Wars or The Empire Strikes Back?
- When did he know they could make a third film
- How many takes does he like to do
- Any update on Independence Day 2, Bad Boys 3, I Am Legend 2 and Hancock 2. He says no, yes, no and yes. Meaning the two that might be going are Bad Boys 3 and Hancock 2
- Talks about M. Night Shyamalan's After Earth

The House Appropriations FY2012 Transportation Funding Bill was released today. The amount appropriated for state and local bus grants is an estimated 37% decrease from the current funding level ($5.2 billion FY2012 compared to $8.3 billion in FY2011).
As a state that relies heavily on federal transportation funding, the communities in Idaho will be deeply impacted by the proposed cut to our public transportation systems. This decrease will lead to severe reductions in transportation services for many individuals across the state and will equate to a loss of thousands of jobs. With high gas prices, a slow economy, and increased ridership, now is not the time to implement cuts to the public transportation systems in Idaho.
We have asked Congressmen Simpson and Labrador to continue to work for a transportation appropriation bill that will put Americans back to work, provide businesses with relief from the costs of congestion and the insecurity of unreliable, inadequate infrastructure. And,we have encouraged them to use their leadership to move forward a bill that increases public transportation investment or at the very least, maintains current funding levels.
It is critical for you to contact Congressman Simpson and Congressman Labrador to help them understand what a 37% decrease in funding would look like for citizens in Idaho. And, to encourage them to support a higher formula level with a new, multi-year authorization bill. You can find the contact information for the Idaho Congressional Delegation through the respective links below:

ProSIM's Annual Appreciation Sale is Here!
Press Release Teaser:
Celebrate ProSIM with Awesome Savings on All Their Titles thru September 29th!
ProSIM's Annual Appreciation Sale is Here!
Celebrate ProSIM with Awesome Savings on All Their Titles thru September 29th!
Wilmington, NC, 16 September 2014
Its time to take a moment and appreciate a line of wargames that have proven themselves as more than just games, but modern, real world simulations in use by militaries around the world. The seven titles in the ProSIM line are on sale for 20% off their normal pricing now thru September 29, 2014.
The ProSIM titles are:
Air Assault Task Force: Modern day real-time simulation of airmobile operations spanning four decades of modern warfare, highlighting three pivotal battles.
ATF: Armored Task Force: The predecessor to the Air Assault Task Force engine. Bring forth the heavy metal thunder and smite your enemies using 120mm bolts. A ProSIM simulation focusing on land combat around the world.
Battle Group Commander: Episode One: A microgame featuring all the expansive details you come to expect from a ProSIM product but at a tiny price. Lead the fight against the Russians using your Brits. Fully compatible with other ProSIM titles and a great introduction to their world.
BCT Commander: The predecessor to ATF: Armored Task Force and Air Assault Task Force, combined arms warfare at a brigade/regimental level. If you like tanks, and brigades, then BCT Commander is your game!
The Falklands War: 1982: Not many games have tackled the Falklands War. Focusing on the ground actions this is a perfect example of the flexibility of the ProSIM engine. Instead of commanding platoons of tanks players command platoons of infantry, with fidelity right down to individual bayonet charges.
Raging Tiger: The Second Korean War: The next potential war in Korea featuring an exciting mixture of scenarios providing players with numerous challenges. As with other ProSIM products, Raging Tiger is compatible with other ProSIM titles.
The Star and the Crescent: Arab-Israeli conflicts, both historical and hypothetical. Lots of armor action, along with highly detailed close air support and air defense mechanics makes The Star and the Crescent a terrific title for the modern wargamer.
ProSIM titles are some of the most remarkable simulation wargames of the modern battlefield that you'll ever play, showcasing the power of what a computer consim can truly achieve. Taking full advantage of their medium, ProSIM titles do not restrict themselves to hex maps, combat result tables, or other elements of tabletop wargaming. Play is continuous real-time (with the ability to pause and issue orders). Maps are based on real-world digital elevation models accurate to within about three meters. Weapon systems are intricately modeled and allow for realistic combat results rather than a blanket loss of hit points or step reduction.
ProSIM titles focus on a 'grand tactical' scale, whereupon an entire force under the player's command may be a brigade or regiment but players can actually control down to individual units. In fact, thanks to the highly regarded AI the player can either take charge at a macro or micro level and the AI will handle those units not under direct command. Enemy decision point tactics also means that the opponents faced will be just as clever. All titles support the ability to edit scenarios and that keeps the games constantly fresh. It should also be noted that the ProSIM titles not only serve the wargaming community but serve also as professional training tools around the world.
Try something realistic. Something that will challenge you in ways that an odds based CRT can never do? Try a ProSIM simulation from Shrapnel Games and find out what high fidelity wargaming truly means.
To read up on any of the ProSIM titles, download their demos, or purchase please visit
. Remember, all ProSIM titles are on sale thru September 29th at 20% off their normal price. And if you enjoy modern warfare gaming be sure to check out the classic hex and turn based play of WinSPMBT, available as both a free download and for sale with enhanced features not found in the free download. Of course if you're just a fan of interesting strategy and niche gaming, be sure to browse our entire catalog of award-winning titles. Since 1999 Shrapnel Games has been bringing gamers around the globe the very best in independent strategy gaming.

The Great Noisebridge Rebase of 2013!
After many hundreds of earth weeks of 24/7 opening, we're thinking about closing down Noisebridge for a couple of weeks for to do all the things that you can't really do when the space is open.
What kind of things, you ask?
We'd like you to tell us, second-person Noisebridge person!
Here's our proposed process. If you have a major Noisebridge structural change or improvement you'd like to conduct, sit write down and write it up as a Proposal For Awesomeness (PFA), similar to an RFC, using the template below. Along with your PFA, list who you're working on the project with (ask them first!).
Noisebridge will have a big old discussion, and a meeting (possibly multiple meetings) where we'll go through all the proposals, and consent on the ones that will be part of the Rebase. The folks that are included in the PFA get to spend a delightful few days working like ROBOT SLAVES on building up Noisebridge, on a date to also be determined (probably by seeking to maximize the people who volunteered and are available).

Grey's Anatomy and Scandal boss Shonda Rhimes has adopted another baby.
"Been AWOL from Twitter. I totally have a good reason: TINY HUMAN #3 is here and she's perfect! Babies are good. Life is good. #2shows3kids," Rhimes wrote on Twitter.
Further details on the adoption were unavailable.

Track World Championships Manchester UK
Day 1
The first day of competition has ended at the 2008 Track Worlds, with world titles awarded in four disciplines. The traditional track powers dominated, with host Great Britain taking a gold and a silver, France a gold and a bronze, and the Netherlands two silver medals and a bronze. Canada had one rider entered in competition today - Martin Gilbert in the Scratch Race. Unfortunately, Gilbert crashed with five laps remaining in the race and did not finish.
After an afternoon session of qualifying in the men's individual pursuit, the evening medal session got underway with the women's 500 metre time trial. World Cup champion Lisandra Guerra Rodriguez of Cuba was the clear favourite, in the absence of defending world champion (and world record holder) Anna Meares of Australia. Meares is still recovering from a terrible crash at the Los Angeles World Cup. Guerra held off Simona Krupeckaite of Lithuania by 44 hundredths for the world title, with Sandie Clair of France taking bronze.
In the men's pursuit final it was defending champion Bradley Wiggins (Great Britain) against Jenning Huizenga (Netherlands). Huizenga gave the partisan crowd a scare when he beat Wiggins in the qualifier, but it appears that the Brit may have backed off in the final lap when he knew that he was through to the final, because he had no problem in the final, throwing down the fastest laps for each kilometre of the final. Alexei Markov (Russia) beat a surprisingly strong Hayden Raulston of New Zealand for the bronze. Raulston had set a very strong time in only the second qualifying heat.
The men's Scratch saw the Belarussian Aliaksandr Lisouski take a very gutsy victory over the more favoured Wim Stroetinga (Netherlands) and World Cup champion Roger Kluge (Germany). Lisouski tried a solo move from the starting gun, coming within 50 metres of lapping the field before falling back. He then sat in for the rest of the race until four laps to go, when he chased down a fading and disintegrating break of four. With one lap to go he had taken the lead, and crossed the finish line literally half a bike in front of Stroetinga and the rest of the field.
Martin Gilbert was well placed throughout the race, making sure that he had good position in the front half of the field. When it looked like the race would come down to a sprint finish, just after the field passed five laps to go, he went down in the second corner, sliding onto the apron.
"A guy came down on me, and there was no where to go ... so a guy to my left hit my front wheel, and that was it. That is what makes me really pissed off, I felt really fresh, in perfect position, prefect legs ... if you get dropped you feel bad, but when you know you can do something good it is ten times worse."
The final medal event of the evening was the crowd favourite men's team Sprint. The final came down to defending champions France against former champions Great Britain. The roar of the crowd may have spurred on the British squad of Ross Edgar, Chris Hoy and Jamie Staff, but the French were simply too strong, with the squad of Gregory Bauge, Kevin Sireau and Arnaud Tournant setting a new world fastest time of 43.271 for a 250 metre track (there is no world record because the 3 lap event is held on different length tracks). The Netherlands took the bronze medal ahead of Germany.
Race Notes
- The sound system stopped working just as it was about to play the national anthem of France, but the crowd (in England, no less!) started singing instead, which visibly pleased the French winners.
- The track in Manchester was resurfaced a little more than six months ago, and everyone is saying that it is very fast, and predicting some world records may fall.

Jews [from Judah], traditionally, descendants of Judah, the fourth son of Jacob, whose tribe, with that of his half-brother Benjamin, made up the kingdom of Judah; historically, members of the worldwide community of adherents to Judaism. The degree to which national and religious elements of Jewish culture interact has varied throughout history and has been a matter of considerable debate. There were approximately 17.8 million Jews in the world in 1990, with 8 million in the Americas (of which about 5.7 million were in the United States), 3.5 million in Israel, and 3.5 million in Europe.

Measles, also called 10-day measles, red measles, or measles, is a viral illness respiratory disease. It causes a red, blotchy rash or skin eruption. Measles has a distinct rash that helps aid in the diagnosis.
Measles is spread from one child to another through direct contact with discharge from the nose and throat. It is also spread through coughing and sneezing (airborne droplets) from an infected child because the virus lives in the mucus in the nose and throat. This is a very contagious disease that usually consists of a fever, and cough, followed by a generalized rash.
Measles virus, the cause of measles, is classified as a Morbillivirus. It is mostly seen in the winter and spring. Measles is preventable by proper immunization with the measles vaccine.
It may take between seven to 14 days for a child to develop symptoms of measles after being exposed to the disease. It is important to know that a child is contagious about four days before the rash breaks out and four days after the rash develops. Therefore, children may pass the disease to others before they even know they have it.
During the early phase of the disease (which lasts between one and four days), symptoms usually resemble those of an upper respiratory infection. The following are the common symptoms of measles. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Runny nose
Hacking cough
Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
Small spots with white centers (Koplik's spots) appear on the inside of the cheek (usually occur two or three days after symptoms begin )
Rash. Deep, red, flat rash that starts on the face and spreads down to the trunk, arms, legs and feet. The rash starts as small distinct lesions, which then combines as one big rash. After three to seven days, the rash will begin to clear leaving a brownish discoloration and peeling skin.
Severe diarrhea
The most serious complications from measles include the following:
Ear infections
Encephalitis (inflammation of the brain)
The symptoms of measles may resemble other skin conditions or medical problems. Always see your child's health care provider for a diagnosis.
Measles is usually diagnosed based on a complete medical history and physical examination of your child. The characteristic measles rash is unique and usually allow for a diagnosis simply on physical examination. In addition, your child's doctor may order blood or urine tests to confirm the diagnosis.
Specific treatment for measles will be determined by your child's health care provider based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
How sick he or she is
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures or therapies
How long the condition is expected to last
Your opinion or preference
The goal of treatment for measles is to help decrease the severity of the symptoms. Since it is a viral infection, antibiotics won't work. Treatment may include:
Increased fluid intake
Acetaminophen for fever (DO NOT GIVE ASPIRIN)
Vitamin A. Two doses are recommended for all children in developing countries who get measles, to help prevent eye damage and blindness, and decrease the number of deaths from the disease. Always see your child's health care provider for advice.
If your child was exposed and has not been immunized, your child's doctor may give the MCV vaccine to the child within 72 hours or immune globin (IG) within six days of measles exposure to help prevent the disease.
Since the use of the measles (or rubeola) vaccine, the incidence of measles has decreased substantially. A small percentage of measles are due to vaccine failure. The measles vaccine is usually given in combination with the mumps and rubella vaccine. It is called the MMR. It is usually given when the child is age 12 months to 15 months and then again between age 4 and 6. During an outbreak, another booster shot may be recommended by your child's health care provider. Other ways to prevent the spread of measles include:
Keeping children home from school or day care for four days after the rash appears. Always contact your child's health care provider for advice.
Make sure all of your child's contacts have been properly immunized.

Government departments have been quietly given the green light to recruit or keep some of their temporary and casual workers, despite the Abbott government's hiring freeze.
The Public Service's workplace authority has confirmed that bosses of eight agencies and departments have pleaded for the jobs of the casuals and temps and that some of them have been given permission to hire.
There were fears for the public service's 14,000 temporary workers - many of whom are women, low-paid or junior employees - when the freeze on renewing their jobs was announced in November.
The Australian Public Service Commission would not say which departments were hiring, but Fairfax Media understands the Taxation Office, which relies heavily on temps, has led the rush for approval for new workers. The Tax Office refused to give details of its situation, but the Commonwealth Public Service Union said the latest development proved departments could not cope with the cuts expected by the Abbott government.
Under the ''interim arrangements'' for public service recruitment, any hirings, or renewal of temporary jobs, have to be approved by the Public Service Commission.
The commission's employment policy chief, Owen Livermore, said the bosses of eight agencies had made pitches to either keep their temps or hire new ones.
Mr Livermore said the requests were not stretching the commission's resources and that not every single ''non-ongoing'' job had to be ticked off by his office.
''The APSC has received requests from eight agencies to maintain intermittent and irregular non-ongoing employees as part of their work force to assist meeting peak and variable workloads,'' he said.
Mr Livermore said that some of the departments had already been granted approval. ''I can inform you that agency requests are being processed gradually and where approved, agencies are already undertaking the endorsed recruitment activity,'' he said.
A Tax Office spokeswoman said: ''We're still working through arrangements for temporary and non-ongoing staff in 2014 and cannot provide further details. Any staff employed will be done so on a needs basis and we will work with the APSC to comply with interim APS recruitment arrangements.''
Public Service Union assistant national secretary Louise Persse said the move by the agencies proved the government was making policy on the run. ''The very agencies that were told they had to shed staff have been given permission to go out and rehire them,'' she said.

Captain Memo
June 5, 1948 – October 13, 2009
Captain Memo and his wife Panama Pam sailed to Florida from California in a 30 ft. sailboat via the Panama Canal.
In an earlier life he used to be known as Bill Wozencraft, a Prudential Life Insurance Agent. His wife, Pam, had been a teacher for the Hearing Impaired.
After getting up each morning knowing he had to put on a suit and tie just to go out in the world and get rejected by 95 people a day, he knew there must be a better way to exist on this planet other than selling life insurance. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that would be pillaging and plundering as a pirate on Clearwater Beach.
The initial goal they set was to sail to the Caribbean within a year. It actually took two and a half years, and they ran out of money along the way.

There has been a lot of buzz in nutrition world lately about the "Microbiota" or the world of living organisms in your gut. Good gut health is being studied for everything from obesity, diabetes, IBS, Parkinson's ,Brain behavior, mood and more.
We still have a lot to learn but we do know that its important to have a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in your intestines. A key component to that is getting enough probiotics and the prebiotics that support them in your diet.
Probiotics contain live cultures of specific strains of bacteria and confer health benefits to the host.
Some Probiotic-Rich Foods are:
- Cultured dairy products (yogurt, cottage cheese, kefir)
- Cultured non dairy products (soy/coconut yogurt, kefir)
- Fermented beverages (kombucha)
- Fermented grains (tempeh)
- Fermented vegetables (sauerkraut, kimchi, beets, pickles etc)
- Fermented soy (miso, natto, soysauce)
Look for products that say "live cultures" vs foods that are pickled in vinegar or pasteurized.
Prebiotics are nondigestible food ingredients that stimulate the growth of bacteria in the GI tract which are beneficial to the health of the body.
Some Prebiotic rich foods are:
- Onions
- Garlic
- Asparagus
- Leeks
- Artichoke
- Bananas
- Tomatoes
- Oatmeal
- Legumes
And you get bonus points when you combine both together- for example a banana with yogurt.
Now go feed your gut!

birthday party
Last weekend I hosted a brunch for a dear friend who's also moving back to Texas after staying here for the past year. I had the help of a few girlfriends who I commissioned to bring the cucumber sandwiches, asparagus tart and even Kirsten brought the yogurt and fruit cups.
I didn't have much time to plan, as is the case these days, so I cut up some tissue paper & made some tassels and put some flowers in vases.
I made zucchini pancakes, water with key limes, quiche and croissants with jam...I did not make the croissants! I did bake a cake though at midnight the night before, it tasted better than it looked. We had a great time & everything went smoothly, phew!
I'm only sad my friend is gone, she will be missed.

Graduating at the very bottom of his 1847 class at West Point, Henry Heth served 14 years on frontier duty before resigning his infantry captaincy on April 25, 1861, to serve his native Virginia.
His initial service came in the Kanawha Valley and the Lewisburg area of western Virginia. He joined Kirby Smith in East Tennessee in the summer of 1862 and commanded a division and briefly the department. At the request of Robert E. Lee, who called the brigadier by his first name, allegedly the only case of Lee doing this with his generals, Heth was transferred to the Army of Northern Virginia. Commanding a Virginia brigade he fought at Chancellorsville and was in command of the division until wounded.
Returning to duty he was soon promoted (an October 1862 appointment as major general had not been confirmed), and given a division in the new 3rd Corps. On the first day at Gettysburg he was wounded but recovered to fight at Falling Waters, Bristoe Station, and Mine Run before the end of the year. The next spring, and summer he guided his men through the Overland Campaign and supervised them in the trenches around Petersburg, often sallying forth to defeat Union attempts to cut the railroads and highways into the beleaguered city. Briefly in corps command during the final winter of the conflict, he surrendered with his chief at Appomattox. He was involved in insurance after the peace.

At face value, Alpha Dog based on a real-life story that's still waiting for its ending plays like an amped-up, drugged-out episode of Dragnet: In 2000, a gang of SoCal kids kidnapped and murdered fifteen-year-old Nicholas Markowitz, a soft-spoken boy from the San Fernando Valley who dreamed of becoming a rabbi and was sacrificed as payment for his older half-brother's drug debt a measly $1,200. Four teens were convicted of the murder. The ringleader, a teeny Tony Montana with the real-life moniker of Jesse James Hollywood, escaped to Brazil, where he was arrested in 2005.
Hollywood now awaits trial, and his attorney has tried to block the release of Alpha Dog, claiming it convicts his client before he's had the chance to prove his innocence. (This, despite the fact that Hollywood, a Dateline regular, has been convicted in primetime more than once.) The movie, which premiered at last year's Sundance Film Festival, is getting a negligible release as it is a shove into the January dumping ground, where nothing survives for long. It deserves better.
Alpha Dog is a guilty pleasure, by which I mean it elicits the occasional choking laugh even as it tells a story the audience likely knows going in doesn't have a chance of ending happily. Nick Cassavetes, the writer and director who prepped for the movie by poring over off-limits files leaked by the case's prosecutor, stages much of his tragedy as though it were as a comedy of errors the plans of dumbass punks gone awry.
Hollywood, here named Johnny Truelove (Emile Hirsch), is after all, not a great criminal mastermind, but merely a baby-faced punk who deals weed to spoiled Valley girls and their hip-hopped-up boyfriends. Truelove has his posse, and they're as threatening as any hallway gang at your average prep school: Elvis Schmidt (Shawn Hatosy), a subservient clown who suffers Johnny's abuse; Frankie Ballenbacher (Justin Timberlake), a swaggering sidekick clad in tank tops to display his tats; and other clods who come and go like nitwits clamoring for their spot at the cool kids' lunch table. No way they could kill a kid, not these wake-and-bakers.
That's especially evident when Johnny confronts Jake Mazursky (Ben Foster), a self-hating Hebrew covered in swastikas who owes drug dough, Theirs is a mighty tussle, one of those back-patio-door-smashing-into-the-swimming-pool brawls you only see in the movies choreographed down to the last shard of broken glass. Guns are drawn, threats made, someone's gonna wind up dead. Only, not so much. These punks don't have it in 'em. So they go their separate ways, prank each other, threaten each other, break each other's shit nothing that remotely suggests what's coming for Jake's surrogate, Zack (Anton Yelchin, in the Nicholas role).
Cassavetes' story isn't simply about boys and girls gone wild that's Larry Clark's milieu, and even he's worn it sheer but also about the parents who allow it to happen, even encourage it in the case of Sonny Truelove (a haggard Bruce Willis, outfitted with a crooked hairpiece), who's most likely the source of his kid's product. The parents in Alpha Dog are either doped-up imbeciles wearing Plasticine grins, absentee assholes waving the occasional iron fist, or both. Cassavetes has made a nasty, grim Southern California version of a Charlie Brown special in which the adults might as well speak in that wah-wah-wah monotone. They allow their kids free rein to the point where Frankie grows a forest of marijuana out by the old man's pool and another girl's mom can't talk to her because she's too busy getting laid, and too whacked out on Ecstasy.
Cassavetes, cut loose after tethering himself to the old-fashioned, ham-handed romance of The Notebook, digs his new role as New Journalist, laying out a horrific tale of suburban indulgence gone wrong. He's so into the movie he put himself in the movie: That's his voice you hear on the soundtrack, as the interviewer asking folks about their roles in Johnny's life and Zack's death. Cassavetes gets overly enthusiastic with the docudrama form at times lots of split-screen, in an attempt to make Alpha Dog play like some seedy '70s crime drama but I'm tempted to forgive his excesses because the guy knows tension. How better to ram home the horrific consequences than by building up the boys' actions as little more than rough-and-tumble fun?
And, if nothing else, Alpha Dog is worth a look for the performance of Justin Timberlake, the moral center of a movie sorely in need of some conscience. Already a gifted comic actor his Saturday Night Live appearances are now anticipated events he proves himself able to go to a pitch-black place. Frankie, covered in tats, is less a gangsta with a heart of gold than a nice guy capable of doing some very bad shit like every last one of the rabid pups in Alpha Dog.

A 57-year-old Bartlett man was arrested recently after Cook County authorities said they found an estimated 90,000 DVDs illegally imported from Asia in his residence.
Bond for Joseph Palmisano, of the 300 block of Oakmont Drive, was set at $25,000 Friday in Rolling Meadows branch court on a felony charge of "unlawful use of unidentified sound," said Tandra Simonton of the Cook County State's Attorney's office.
Simonton said the Department of Homeland Security began an investigation of Palmisano in October, when agents allegedly noticed numerous packages sent to him from Hong Kong. She said the DVDs apparently are pirated copies of movies.
Palmisano sold the DVDs online, reaping $220,000 in profits, she said.
Latest Suburbs
"There were boxes of DVDs from floor to ceiling in his garage and living room," said Bartlett Police Commander Michael McGuigan. "He had little pathways to walk through."
McGuigan said the DVDs included films, HBO programs and other television shows. He alleged that Palmisano had been selling them for years.

Dr. James Herrick of the Hope College faculty has received the 12th annual "Favorite Faculty/Staff Member" award presented by the student body.
Herrick received the award on Saturday, Oct. 6, during halftime of the college's Homecoming football game at Holland Municipal Stadium.
Recipients of the "Favorite Faculty/Staff Member" award are chosen through a vote open to the entire student body and conducted at the same time as elections for the Homecoming court and king and queen. The students are not provided with a list of candidates for the award, but rather are asked to write in the name of the person that they feel should be honored. The award was first presented in 1996.
Herrick is the Guy Vander Jagt Professor of Communication at Hope, where he has taught since 1984. His research and teaching specialties are rhetoric and argumentation.
He is serving as acting chair of the department of communication during the current school year and also chaired the department in the past. He is a member of the planning committee for the college's biennial Veritas Forum and until recently was advisor of the college's chapter of the Lambda Pi Eta National Communication Honor Society, and has served on a variety of the college's other committees and boards.
Herrick delivered the address during the opening convocation at Hope in 1994.

The universe of Platinum contenders includes both American and foreign corporations that have a significant presence in the U.S., such as
To get down to a final list of 400 Platinum companies, we began by assigning companies into 26 industries and ranking them against their industry peers on five-year and 12-month sales and earnings growth, as well as total return to shareholders. Our ranking system also included consensus forecasts for long-term earnings growth and debt-to-capital ratios. Using these individual rankings--weighted more for some items than others--we gave each company a composite ranking score and an overall rank within its industry.
We also weeded out companies that may have scored high by our core methodology but may have not been suitable for a Platinum designation. For help with that task, we turned to Audit Integrity, an independent research and rating service that evaluates the risks associated with accounting and governance practices. Audit Integrity claims that it has established a direct correlation between its Accounting and Governance Risk assessments and the incidence of adverse events such as class action litigation, financial restatements, internal control deficiencies, Securities and Exchange enforcement actions and stock price performance.
A poor scoring from Audit Integrity was generally enough for us to drop a company from consideration. (See below or click here for more on Audit Integrity.) Our staff also checked through security analyst reports, searched for disparaging news items about each of the candidate companies, and checked for companies where earnings forecasts indicate the possibility of a sharp decline in their current growth rates.
Growth Rates
We use the least-squares method to calculate sales and earnings-per-share growth rates. This equation adjusts for sharp fluctuations and yields a result that closely reflects the average rate of growth. One limitation to the least-squares method is it cannot handle negative values. If earnings are negative at the beginning of the period, we calculate the growth rate with the first positive year. If a company lost money during the middle of a measuring period, we drop the year from the calculation and measure the growth over the remaining positive periods. Our assumption: that a single loss may not be representative of long-term performance. If a company lost money in more than one year or has a wildly fluctuating pattern, our computer program does not calculate a five-year growth rate. In such cases, we list the result as not meaningful (NM).
Time Periods
The five-year growth rates we use require six years worth of data. We base these rates on latest fiscal year-end results. Growth rates covering a period of less than five years we mark with a footnote. When the range of available data is less than four years, we mark the growth rate as not available (NA). Latest 12-month comparisons are between the most recent four quarters (typically through September) and the comparable four quarters of the previous year. Our measurements for revenues and net income, as well as operating and profit margins, are over the latest 12 months. We use latest balance sheet data to calculate debt as a percentage of total capital.
Debt as a percentage of capital is long-term debt--including capitalized leases--divided by a company's total capital. Total capital is long-term debt, shareholders equity, minority interest, deferred taxes and investment tax credits.
Profit margin is net income divided by net sales.
For revenues, we use net sales plus other operating revenue. For banks, revenues are total interest income plus other income from operations. Revenues for insurance companies include premium income, net investment income, realized gains and other income. Net income and earnings-per-share figures include nonrecurring items and gains or losses from discontinued operations, but exclude extraordinary items. We calculate operating income by subtracting the following from net sales: cost of goods sold; selling, general and administrative expense; and research and development costs. We exclude depreciation and amortization, interest expense and minority expense as operating expenses.
Audit Integrity, based in New York City and Los Angeles, provides us with accounting and governance ratings. This company analyzes hundreds of metrics for 9,000 public corporations and identifies concerns behind financial statements and governance practices that have proved to be strong indicators of negative events, such as shareholder litigation, SEC enforcement actions or reduced equity returns.
The firm's proprietary analytics engine compares company metrics to prior periods, peer companies and industry norms. Based on their findings, each company gets a score and a rating in two different categories: accounting and governance, and financial condition.
Accounting-Governance (AGR)
The Audit Integrity Accounting and Governance Risk rating (AGR) is a measure of the overall risk of potentially fraudulent or misleading activity. This score involves two tests: the Standard Subjects and the Additional Subjects. The first test includes a standard set of accounting and governance metrics, each highly correlated with SEC enforcement actions. The Additional Subjects test includes a wider range of pertinent accounting and governance information. Using the results of these two tests, Audit Integrity rates companies as conservative, average, aggressive or very aggressive. The more aggressive ratings indicate higher risk of problems for shareholders.
Financial Condition
Audit Integrity scores each corporation's financial condition as strong, average or weak based on a number of key financial ratios, such as the current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) and quick ratio (cash, marketable securities and accounts receivable divided by current liabilities).
Stock data as of Nov. 28. All per-share data adjusted for splits through Jan. 12, 2009. We base the industry medians in this report on data for the Forbes Platinum 400 companies. Relative to market calculation is the ending value of $100 invested in the stock divided by the ending value of $1 in the S&P 500 over the same period.
1.Four-year. 2.Three-year. 3.Less than period indicated. +: Exceeds 500. D-P: Deficit to profit. NA: Not available. NM: Not meaningful. NR: Not ranked.

The IoT Lab is an operational team of COPELABS that works on networking architectures and communication protocols for multiple IoT environments, e.g., personal IoT and industrial IoT. A few aspects being worked upon concern protocolar transmission and unified abstraction models for edge computing, as well as the relevancy of novel communication models (e.g., ICN) for IoT.
Internet of Things (IoT) communication architectures and protocols are evolving to be able to cope with new challenges such as the processing of large amounts of data; filtering; data mining and classification; high heterogeneity in devices and software.
The evolutionary trend and interoperability aspects of publish/subscriber approaches as well as of network architectures and protocols in general are being exploited by the COPELABS IoT Lab team.

What others have to say about us…
We had great experience dealing with Peter from Sanctuary Real Estate. He has helped us through out the sales process. We were looking for a house in Canning Vale. We really liked the way Peter has conducted the sales process. At no time we felt that we are pushed.
He always listened to our needs and genuinely tried to help us. We have a lot of trust in his ability and integrity. We wish Peter and his team all the best for future and highly recommend them.
Also, I just wanted to say thank you to you, for being an amazing agent. Any queries we have had, any issues we have had, you have always got back to me within the day. So thank you for doing your job so well 🙂
Thank you so much for all your efforts for home opens and finally getting it leased, I am really glad with the outcome and having you as our property manager!
A letter of appreciation and gratitude to you, Peter Swain, thanking you for assisting us with the purchase of our new residence in Huntingdale. Previous to meeting with you, Peter, we had a very limited knowledge of how to go about purchasing property but with your help it was just so smooth, simple and straight forward. Even the finance was made easy.
Just thought we would drop you a few lines to express our appreciation in the way in which you conducted the sale of our home in Thornlie, we found the sale to be handled very efficiently and we were very grateful that you were always available to handle our queries. We will certainly be recommending you to our friends and relatives, and won't hesitate to contact you again regarding real estate in the future. Thanking you again.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank and congratulate Peter Lim on his recent sales of our 8 unit development in East Cannington. Peter was able to market and sell the properties in a matter of weeks, some even within days of each other, in a proficient and professional manner. He showed a willingness to communicate, and handle the task required with a high standard of professionalism and integrity that is necessary for a successful transaction between all parties involved. We certainly will look forward to work together with him and Sanctuary Real Estate for our future projects.
From the first moment he knocked on my door in the 40 degree heat handing out flyers, I found Peter to be very professional in his Real Estate duties. From the listing of the property to settlement he was amazing, and was very helpful and taught me a thing or too. I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter to any of my family and friends.
A HUGE thank you to Peter Lim: who has demonstrated a very high standard of professionalism and fantastic service. Peter has truly partnered with me through the entire process. By making himself available, he has succeeded in making my house selling experience a hassle free one. I will definitely recommend his services to my relatives and friends.
Sanctuary Real Estate made our first home buying experience a memorable one. You were very professional and sought to meet our needs and concerns as best you could. We were defiantly satisfied with the service and will recommend you in the future.
We just want to let you know how grateful we are. My wife and I are very happy in our new home and it was made possible mainly by your efforts. As you know I had other estate agents before you came on the scene but it was only when you arrived that things began to move smoothly. I hope you will feel free to pop in for a coffee when you are in the area. In the meantime I shall most certainly be recommending you to any of my friends who have properties to sell or wish to buy. Thanks again.

We would like to thank Peter Swain who sold our property in Bentley. Peter suggested we use a buyer enquiry range to price our property.

We would highly recommend Peter and the Sanctuary Real Estate Team to anybody requiring the best results and exceptional service. Thank you!
Mary and I wish to express our appreciation for your endeavours in the selling of our house. We very much appreciated your quick response to any messages we left and your feedback on what prospective buyers had to say. Your honesty during discussions with us was also greatly appreciated and we can assure you we would have no hesitation in recommending you to any of our acquaintances who require Real Estate services.
We would like to thank you so much for your hard work selling our unit. You have worked tirelessly promoting and showing the unit to prospective buyers. Your constant contact with us via phone to keep us informed as to how things were preceding was very much appreciated. Week to week you contacted us. With the depressed market of today this information was greatly appreciated. The end result has been a sale and this news has been received a joy. We would not hesitate to recommend you and your Real Estate business to anyone thinking of buying or selling property. Once again many thanks.
We would like to congratulate you on your excellent services in getting our house sold in such a short time. Your dedication, hard work and constant feedback has made selling our house such an easy process. Your easy going manner, along with your vast knowledge in real estate has made this a good experience for us and one in which we will not forget. We achieved a high price for the house, made a friend and sold in a short time. What else could we have asked for? Once again, we like to thank you for your outstanding service and hope to have dealing with you again in the future.
Thank you for all your hard work in selling my house for me. I would highly recommend Sanctuary Real Estate, Beckenham, to sell their property. You never gave up. Your enthusiasm was great. I wish you both all the best for your future sales.

Geolocation for Nagios
Some time ago I came across NagMap addon for Nagios and found it pretty helpful for monitoring multiple hosts around the world. For example, there are some production servers in Europe, US and others in India and New Zealand and it's much better see their states on the map rather than using boring Nagios host status list. Every host can have one of the following states based on ping statistics: […]Read more →

BOONE, N.C. (AP) — Inspectors checked a motel where three people were presumed killed by carbon monoxide fumes six weeks before anyone died, but their review didn't include investigating for the poisonous gas, the local health agency said Tuesday.
The Appalachian District Health Department said it inspected the swimming pool at the Best Western Blue Ridge Plaza in Boone six weeks before a Longview, Wash., couple were found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in their motel room. Boone Police Sgt. Shane Robbins said the room is near the indoor pool, which is warmed by a natural gas heater.
Jeffrey Williams, 11, of Rock Hill, S.C., died Saturday in the same room where the Washington couple, 73-year-old Daryl Dean Jenkins and 72-year-old Shirley Mae Jenkins, died April 16.
A man answering the phone Tuesday at the offices of Appalachian Hospitality Management, which runs the Best Western Plus Blue Ridge Plaza, said company executives were referring questions to the Boone police.
The motel has been closed by police until at least Wednesday, when inspectors from the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors are due to arrive, Robbins said.
During a March 6 inspection, a health inspector noted that the motel violated a safety rule requiring ventilation of storage rooms where pool chemicals are stored, the department said in a statement released Tuesday.
The statement quoted the inspector's report as saying the room's ventilation problem "needs to be corrected asap."
"Consult inspector prior to making any installations," the report said.
The motel was not fined and did not face other consequences, but the chemical storage was to be revisited at the next inspection, health department spokeswoman Jennifer Greene said in an email to The Associated Press. Inspections are conducted at least twice a year, Greene said.
The agency's statement noted that "ventilation of any combustion gases from appliances is not part of the health department pool inspection." That includes the pool water heater, Greene said. She did not answer a question from the AP submitted by email and in a telephone voicemail about whether the water heater was located in the same room where the chemicals were stored.
Emergency responders found carbon monoxide in the room where they found Jeffrey Williams on Saturday, Boone police said. Jeffrey's 49-year-old mother, Jeannie Williams, was rushed to a hospital and survived. A preliminary autopsy found the boy died of asphyxia, which happens when toxic gases cut off oxygen to the body. State medical examiners will conduct toxicology tests on samples taken from the boy's body.
New toxicology results show the Jenkinses died of carbon monoxide poisoning, police said in a statement Monday. A regional pathologist's autopsies on the couple were inconclusive, police said.
