Dick Bove doesn't want writedowns of mortgages partly because the guy who pays his bills is not getting the same deal. He then says that all of those guys should stop paying their mortgages.
He is essentially making the case, unknowingly, that indeed, all mortgage payers and most cash purchasers of homes do indeed deserve an amnesty cramdown of their mortgages or a cash reimbursement!
In reality, Bove is really just making a case for the banks to not pay any deal. He is for the banks. This deal essentially is an admission by the banks that they were at fault for the mortgage crisis. Bove is deflecting that blame onto the borrowers but he can't do that under this deal!
Bove does not understand that folks lost TRILLIONS of dollars because this is what the banks did:
The banks (through the central banking system) introduced massive easy money. The amount of easy money caused the prices to artificially increase and then crash due to banks abandoning sound underwriting. Therefore, let us see some examples of how it worked.
1. The guys who bought a house with a fixed mortgage and 20 percent or an easy money mortgage in 2005 had no clue that there was a housing bubble unless they were studying the bubble. These folks had no clue that the underwriters had been pulled and that the scam was set up all the way back at Basel 2 in 1998. Those guys should both get cramdowns. Would Bove, apparently the bank shill here, go for that? I doubt it.
2. The guy who paid cash in 2005 and saw the value crash is also owed by the banks because he bought at an inflated price that was artificially inflated by the easy money loans that came out.This would not affect buyers in the 90's, or would it? Maybe. Would Bove go for his reimbursement? Of course he wouldn't.
3. The average American had not seen a bubble like this before, and the S and L crisis was smaller, was not even a bubble according to Barry Ritholtz, and happened many years ago. The transfer of wealth from main street to Wall Street was massive in the current bubble. Trading profits were massive and the richest folks made bank through this lending. The banks made massive profits, and also were bailed out when they failed. They also are getting their real estate back, so when Bove said they lost money he is flat out lying or he is just ignorant.
He is brazenly deflecting blame off the banks and sounds so Tea Party it makes me nauseous. The truth is, it is not just the borrowers of toxic mortgages that have been hurt. All mortgage lendees and many cash buyers, depending on timing, were hurt and the banks owe them too!
Thanks, Tricky Dick 2, for making my argument which I have made ever since I discovered a housing bubble in Reno, NV in 2005.
The bottom line is this: The housing bubble was a premeditated scam, and the easy money bloated the prices of the houses. The securitization of loans allowed the bloat and the selling of the securities to unsuspecting investors. The selling of the securities was fraud and could be prosecuted under RICO. Henry Paulson should stand trial for this and intent does not have to be proved under RICO. Only a pattern of fraud has to be proven under RICO.
On the front end, the mortgages were not for the most part illegal, yet they were immoral. And they were just plain wrong. Mortgages set aside for affluent folks, the easy money toxic ones, were allowed to be sold like a lemon used car, to the masses of Americans. Banks knew they could hide the loans with off balance sheet banking allowed by Basel 2 and they knew they could get rid of them through mispriced CDO's that deliberately failed to assign proper risk to the loans.
That is what helped keep the easy money so easy for so long.
And the same Basel 2 conference that adopted the off balance sheet banking also adopted the phony assumptions that underpinned the risk management of the CDO's. The risk management mathematical formula assigned a low risk to the scenario of mass mortgage defaults. And this was accomplished knowing full well the sad end of the Japanese housing bubble.
This is why the housing bubble was a premeditated and preplanned scam!
Add to this the knowledge that Alan Greenspan said you could get a better deal with an adjustable mortgage in February, 2004, and you see that the Fed Chairman was in on the scam as well!
Understand also, that people conveniently forget that David Lereah and NAR were saying daily, with the power of main stream media behind them, that you would be locked out of housing FOREVER if you did not get a loan now.
The next housing bubble will be government guaranteed, rather than bogus AAA guaranteed. The banks will not care about the moral hazard because apparently only borrowers, not bankers have moral hazard. That is hogwash as are Bove's arguments. He is trying to get sympathy for scorpion banks. But, in the words of Crosby, Stills and Nash: "We are leaving. You don't need us".
Move your money and send the bankers a message that they have not paid nearly enough! Know this, it is in the interest of the bankers to divide the guy who is getting relief from a toxic mortgage from the guy who is scraping by as they struggle to make their payments. To the guy who is making payments, don't get mad at the guy who got the toxic mortgage.
Be angry at the banks who allowed your house value to inflate in value and drop as well because of all the toxic loans they made. Just remember, the Scam continues by these guys like Bove and Jeff Mackey pitting homeowners against each other. You guys struggling to be ethical need to understand that walking away from a mortgage is walking away from a huge scam. That is not unethical!

Charleston, WV - West Virginia Senate Majority Leader John Unger, (D-Berkeley), announced the passage by both the Senate and the House of Delegates of Senate Bill 437.
"In essence, what we're trying to do is make sure we protect what we have. Other states are cracking down on the puppy mills that are operating illegally. We want to make sure we strengthen our laws so that they're not just finding this as a haven for that type of operation. That's why this bill is critical. We need to step up and provide stronger laws to protect our animals as well," said Senator Unger.
Senate Bill 437 will prohibit "puppy mills" by requiring a business license and annual permits for commercial dog breeders, by limiting the number of dogs which can be kept for breeding and by setting out humane and sanitary conditions which must be maintained.
Senator Unger, lead sponsor of the bill, continues,"We've heard enough horror stories of hundreds of dogs packed into very confined spaces. It's time to do something decisive, and this bill is a critical step forward."
The bill is now headed to the Governor awaiting his signature.

People for the American Way: 30 years of fighting for freedom of expression and the arts
Norman Lear and Alec Baldwin. Photo: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images.
Last Thursday night, People For the American Way Foundation unveiled Liberty, a new print by the acclaimed artist Ed Ruscha. Ruscha created Liberty for the PFAW Foundation in honor of its 30th anniversary and its decades of leadership in free expression and the arts.
The work was unveiled at PFAW Foundations 30th anniversary celebration in New York City. A limited edition of 75 prints will be sold, with all proceeds benefitting PFAW Foundation.
The unveiling of the Ruscha work is the capstone to People For the American Way and People For the American Way Foundations three decades of leadership in the fight for freedom of artistic expression, in which the organizations have allied with a generation of prominent artists. In addition to Rouscha, major American artists Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Graham have donated and dedicated works to PFAW and PFAW Foundation in commemoration of the groups work on behalf of free expression.
· In 1982, Roy Lichtenstein created a print called I Love Liberty, which was unveiled in conjunction with People For the American Way Foundations I Love Liberty celebration. The celebration, which brought together stars including Barbra Streisand, Jane Fonda, Robin Williams and the Muppets, as well as a bipartisan coalition of political leaders, was taped in Los Angeles on February 22, 1982 and broadcast on national television the next month. Lichtenstein created the print, which includes an image of the Statue of Liberty in his trademark geometric style, to help to promote the event.
· In 1985, sculptor Robert Graham designed the cast bronze Spirit of Liberty Lifetime Achievement Award, which he contributed to People For the American Way Foundation. The award, a 12-inch work in the shape of a megaphone, is inscribed on the exterior with words from the First Amendment and the Constitution in Braille and American Sign Language, and its interior is gilded with gold.
· In 1991, in honor of People For the American Ways 10th anniversary, Robert Rauschenberg created a painting called People For the American Way, using imagery of the American flag and the Statue of Liberty. That work hangs in People Fors offices.
· In 1998, Rauschenberg designed and Graham cast a bronze statue known by PFAW staff as the horses patootie. The statue which represents a horses rear end -- is ceremonially presented to the winner of PFAWs annual Equine Posterior Achievement Award. Past winners include former Oklahoma Rep. Ernest Istook, former George Rep. Bob Barr and former Attorney General John Ashcroft.
People Fors leadership in fighting censorship and defending freedom of expression extends back three decades, from the arts censorship battles of the 1980s and 1990s through the Smithsonian censorship scandal of 2010. Some highlights of PFAW and PFAW Foundations work in this area:
· In 1989, Sen. Jesse Helms, incensed by an exhibit of Robert Mapplethorpe photographs funded in part by a National Endowment for the Arts grant, joined forces with leaders of the Religious Right led a battle to defund the arts agency. The NEA had existed for 25 years and funded 80,000 across the country without a complaint, but found itself wedged into a corner by a Religious Right that had newly figured out how to make culture war attacks mainstream. In response, People For organized an intense lobbying effort, placed ads promoting the freedom of expression in national publications, and generated 20,000 telegrams to Congress in support of arts funding. Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch publicly credited PFAW with contributing to the successful effort to preserve the NEAs funding.
· In 1990, People For provided pro bono counsel to Bella Lewitsky, a choreographer who refused to sign an anti-obscenity pledge as a condition of receiving an NEA grant. A federal judge ruled in favor of Lewitsky, declaring that such contracts cause a chilling effect in violation of the First Amendment.
· In 1991, People For created Artsave, a new project to help artists and arts institutions effectively respond to challenges to creative expression. The project collected information about attacks on free expression, provided artists with information about their rights and helped them fight back against state and local-level censorship, put up anti-censorship ads in magazines and newspapers, video and music stores and theaters throughout the country.
· In 1993, When an award-winning drama teacher in Tucson was fired for staging a school production of the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play The Shadow Box, People For organized Tucson Talks, a staged reading of the play and community conversation about censorship. Stars including William Baldwin, Christopher Reeve, and Harry Hamlin traveled to Tucson to participate.
· In 1994, People For represented an artist whose work had been removed from a public space in Menlo Park, California. People For eventually developed a partnership with the city, collaborating to host a public forum the following year on public art and free expression.
· Immediately following the 1994 wave election, new Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich renewed calls for defunding the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. In response, People For aired radio ads about the importance of public art and free expression, voiced by Tony Randall, Lauren Bacall and Gregory Peck. People For also delivered to Congress over 120,000 petitions in support of public broadcasting. The NEA and the NEH saw their budgets severely cut by the 104th Congress, but the CPB fared better.
· In 1996, the Phoenix Art Museum came under attack for an exhibit featuring works of art about the American flag. Gingrich declared that he didnt need to see the exhibit to know that it is wrong. People For stepped in to mobilize community support for the museum.
· In 1997, the House passed a bill zeroing out the NEAs funding. The bill was stopped by the Senate, with Sen. Tom Harkin going to the floor to read PFAW materials that told the truth that almost none of the artwork being used to stir up emotion on the Senate floor had ever received NEA funding.
· In 1998, in response to threats and intimidation from some extremist members of the anti-Castro exile community opposed to visits from Cuban artists and musicians, People For organized a project in Miami bringing together conservative Cuban exile leaders, progressive activists and business and community leaders for events celebrating the freedom of expression.
· In 1998, President Clinton presented PFAW Vice President Barbara Handman with the National Medal of the Arts for her work on behalf of free expression. After the award was announced, Handman organized a Quiet Walk for the First Amendment on the streets of New York in support of Terrence McNallys new play, Corpus Christi. The play had been attacked by Religious Right groups, and the playwright received death threats on opening night, the theater was armed with metal detectors. More than 1,000 PFAW Foundation members joined Norman Lear, the playwright Tony Kushner, actor Wallace Shawn and other show business luminaries for the walk.
· In 1999, People For stepped in to defend the Brooklyn Museum after it was attacked by the Religious Right for an exhibit. People For organized a broad coalition of museum and arts groups to file an amicus brief on behalf of the museum.
· In 2003, PFAW co-produced an off-Broadway play by Christopher Trumbo exploring his fathers experience as a blacklisted screenwriter who was hauled before the House Un-American Activities Committee. The play responded in part to the new McCarthyism of post-9/11 America, when renewed fears were leading to renewed persecution of minority groups and those who protested government action.
· In 2010, Religious Right leaders resurrected the anti-art culture wars of the 1990s, waging a campaign against a National Portrait Gallery exhibit that explored gay and lesbian identity in American Art. With the help of newly-empowered GOP congressional leaders, the Right convinced the Smithsonian to pull the most controversial work in the show under threat of losing the institutions funding. People For the American Way was a leader in fighting back, exposing the advocates of censorship, organizing activists to call for the return of the artwork, and bringing together artists and free expression advocates to discuss how to prevent such censorship in the future.

I'm remaking all the Eternal textures in vector formats because I wanted to make them higher-res than they are and wanted to be able to make them arbitrarily higher-res in the future without having to remake everything again then.
It then occurs to me that with them in vector format now, I could release them now (that is, as soon as they're done) in arbitrarily high resolution already, so how high should I go for this release?
My original intention was 1024x1024, which is twice the current resolution, but maybe I should go up to 2048x2048? You'll still be able to see pixels when your face is mashed against a wall (e.g. a terminal or charger) in 1024, but I worry that maybe VRAM will become even more of an issue than it already is with 2048.
Maybe I should make textures you might be expected to smash your face up into (terminals, chargers, switches, maybe media surfaces because swimming? maybe doors, windows, etc?) 2048, and the rest 1024 to save on VRAM?

text: Traditionally 'Burns Night Suppers' are held all over the UK on or around the 25th January to celebrate the life and work of The Bard, Robert Burns. The day is often referred to as Burns Night or Robert Burns Day and falls on the day of his birth; 25th January 1759. 2014 marks the 255th Anniversary of Burns' birth and the 211th Anniversary of the Burns Night we celebrate today. During his short life, he was prolific in his poetry and writing, and also in his fathering of 14 children with 6 different mothers! While he is well known for his writing, a possibly less well-known and unlikely fact is that he was employed as a Tax Inspector from 1789 until his death in 1796, at only 37 years old. A particularly tragic fact is that his wife gave birth to their last child on the day of his funeral.

The San Francisco 49ers are the hardest team in the NFL to prepare for, even before they added a mobile young quarterback to the mix that throws a pretty pass. The 49ers can beat you in the most different ways.
Like I wrote last week, there isn't some huge gap between the top team on our list and the 10th. There are no huge Super Bowl favorites. The 49ers head to New Orleans this week to face that 10th team (New Orleans) and it wouldn't shock me in the least if the Saints pulled off the win. The 49ers are not a perfect team and their defense hasn't been as consistently dominant this year. I wouldn't rule out the Seahawks winning the NFC West just because the 49ers have a lot of tough games left.
But on a neutral field, for one game, the 49ers are the team I'd roll with above the rest. There will be a familiar-looking playoff field this year. We'll probably have nine teams from a year ago make the field again. It will be a wide open tournament, but the 49ers have the pieces to take the next step.

Cook the Book: 'The Food52 Cookbook'
Those spiral-bound community sourced cookbooks have a wonderfully homespun feel. Assembled by church groups and school moms, these tend to stand the test of time, mostly due to the fact that the selected recipes were contributed by home cooks who weren't all that comfortable in the kitchen, and these were their personal best.
In assembling The Food52 Cookbook, Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs employed a similar strategy, asking members of their community, Food52, to share their best recipe each week for a year.
Of course, determining a winner was far from an arbitrary process. Each of the top contenders were tested out and ballots were cast to see which garnered a spot in cookbook.
By asking readers for everything from their best couscous and polenta recipe to best holiday cookies and cold summer soup, Hesser and Stubbs have curated a selection that's not only diverse and exciting but also elegant while wholly accessible for home cooks. And honestly, it might just be the most useful addition to our cookbook library of 2011.
We asked Amanda Hesser to share some of her favorites from The Food52 Cookbook for this week's Cook the Book and she's provided us with quite a menu. We'll be starting off with Smoky Fried Chickpeas and moving on to Barbacoa Beef Cheek Tacos, Pink Greens, and a Spanish Roasted Potato Salad.
Win 'The Food52 Cookbook'
Thanks to the generous folks over at William Morrow, we are giving away five (5) copies of The Food52 Cookbook this week.
All you have to do is your winningest recipe in the comments section below.

First off, it's been quite a long dry spell on this little bloggy blog. Is anyone still checking this thing? ...(crickets).... Well I know my mom will read this. :) thank goodness for moms.
What better way to make a comeback than to announce the creation of coming of Cook kiddie #3!
Solomon has lovingly named our sweet little peanut baby Blaze. I kind of think our newest little man would love the name because a. It's a super macho tough boys name and b. His awesome older brother made it up. Oh and yes baby is a boy! We're so excited for more planes, trains, light sabers and nerf guns! ruby girl is a little disappointed and hopes that maybe "Blaze" will still turn out to be a girl. Hmmm, maybe those boy goods will turn out to be a coincidentally positioned thumbs up? Keep hoping Rubs!
I think it's important to mention that Dave and I will NOT be naming baby boy Blaze. Sorry Sol. We don't want him to become a magician or cage fighter which is pretty much the only occupations you can take up with a name like that. Name is still to be determined...
Baby is due December 1st. We are so excited for our family to grow +1. We think our kids are awesome. And we're sure #3 will be no different!
So I wanted to make a quick update on Sol and Ruby since its been so long:
5 year old Sol has had a little bit of a personality change. He is a wild man. He's constantly fighting bad guys (especially those from the dark side!) wrestling anyone who will wrestle with him including sometimes those who won't (ruby,mom, grandma...) playing sports, pushing boundaries, and all other delightful 5 year old boy behaviors. When he's not going full tilt he's still very sweet and smart. He's started reading, he's so excited to start kindergarten cause he gets to play at the park (playground) every day. Sweet huh! He's very excited to have a little bro and frequently gives pep talks to "Blaze" through my belly. We are learning to embrace the wild man Sol and still loving his sweet thoughtful inquisitive personality.
Almost 3 year old Ruby is so fun and so funny. She is bursting with expression, character, and all things girl. She is a happy soul. She loves the following:
Wip (lip) stick
Having her nails painted and reprinted
Helping mommy get ready
Her Grandmas
Grandpas hot tub
Her babysitters
Wow, I could go on and on. She came with a lot of passion and that trait has seemed to only grow. Her excitement for life is contagious. She's such a little fireball of passion and love. From her moms perspective this girl will move mountains.n

US sanctions on North Korea unveiled Wednesday by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton may sound like a move in the right direction: hurting the pariah state's elites by targeting illicit and lucrative activities like counterfeiting and contraband sales.
But the measures are unlikely to produce the desired effect of coaxing Pyongyang back to stalled international talks on its nuclear program, some North Korea experts say. The moves resemble piecemeal steps of the past, they add, and are unlikely to strike where it hurts: the regime's access to under-the-table international funds.
"If I were in Pyongyang, I would not be trembling in my boots about this," says Nick Eberstadt, a North Korea specialist at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington.
Secretary Clinton, accompanied by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, announced the measures while on a visit to South Korea intended to show US resolve toward the North. The trip was also meant to show support for the South in the aftermath of the deadly attack in April on a South Korean naval vessel, the Cheonan. Washington and Seoul blame Pyongyang for the attack that killed 46 South Korean sailors. The North denies responsibility.
Clinton and Secretary Gates included a visit to the De-Militarized Zone, 30 miles north of Seoul in their stopover, touring a building in a so-called "truce village" that straddles the north-south border.
At one point, curious North Korean soldiers peered through the building's windows at the high-profile American visitors – a surreal juxtaposition, given that the sanctions that Clinton announced are designed in part to hit the North's powerful military.
Clinton provided only a broad overview on the new steps against the North that will target the arms sales and other activities that fund the regime, as well as the purchase and importation of luxury goods used to reward the regime's elites in the military and other administrations. More North Korean officials will be hit with travel bans while asset freezes are to be expanded.
The US is also planning to step up collaboration with international banks to curtail the North's money laundering – the one measure that analysts say holds out any real hope of influencing Pyongyang.
"The one approach that has caught North Korea's attention in the past is financial sanctions that disrupt its access to the international banking system," says Ken Lieberthal, a senior fellow in foreign policy and a Northeast Asia expert at the Brookings Institution in Washington. "If we are not resorting to any Treasury-Department-sponsored efforts to get at North Korea's banking activities abroad," he adds, "there is reason to lack confidence that more sanctions will have any significant effect."
The one US action analysts cite as successful: the US Treasury's designation in 2005 of the Macau-based Banco Delta Asia as a primary money launderer of North Korean illicit assets. That action prompted a wave of cooperation from other international financial institutions, including Chinese banks, that had no desire to run afoul of the treasury. North Korea took note, and eventually returned to the six-party nuclear talks, but in exchange for securing the release of $25 million held by Banco Delta Asia.
That deal was tantamount to a backing down by the US, some experts now say, especially since North Korea went on to pursue further nuclear-weapons progress.
"The Banco Delta Asia approach was the single effective stratagem, in part because it had the Chinese leadership on board, and that alarmed the North Koreans," says Mr. Eberstadt, author of "The End of North Korea." But, he says, the US "blinked" to get the six-party talks going again, "and once North Korea won that tug-of-war, it created an environment in which North Korea was convinced it could win in successive tugs-of-war with the US."
But even if the latest sanctions do include serious financial measures that eventually prompt Pyongyang's return to six-party talks, that could simply be the resumption of a pattern whereby Pyongyang talks while building nukes, analysts say.
"The real question, if the talks resume, is so what?" says Mr. Lieberthal. Neither Republican nor Democratic administrations have been successful over two decades at curtailing the North's nuclear ambitions, he says, adding that the Obama administration "shows no signs of being in the mood to reward North Korea" to prompt its cooperation, a pattern he says the North has become accustomed to.
"So even if the talks resume at some point, would they produce any serious results?" he asks. "I remain very skeptical about that."

Police say a boat exploded while being refueled at a Long Island marina, killing a man aboard and burning a dock worker who pushed the fiery vessel away from the shore.
Nassau County police say the 33-foot motorboat went up in flames Wednesday afternoon at the Manhasset Bay Marina in Manorhaven. They say a man aboard the boat who was hurled into the water suffered fatal injuries.
Police say the boat drifted to a nearby dock, setting it on fire and damaging two more boats.
A marina worker who came running to the dock managed to push the boat away, setting it adrift. Police say the worker suffered burns to his arms and face and was hospitalized in stable condition.
Police are treating the man's death as a homicide. His name hasn't been released.

The health and well-being of California's children varies widely based on where they live, their race and other factors, a new study reveals.
Children Now released its annual score card today showing problem areas and bright spots for young people in each of the state's 58 counties.
Major differences exist, the study reveals.
"Our public policies should work equally well for all children, but this report shows they're not," said Ted Lempert, president of Children Now.
Santa Clara, San Mateo and Contra Costa counties ranked among the top third of counties with the largest percentage of seventh-graders who have healthy weights — Santa Clara at 75 percent, San Mateo at 73 percent and Contra Costa at 72 percent.
Alameda County ranked average at 71 percent.
But when such statistics are seen by race, wide disparities become apparent, the report reveals.
In Santa Clara County, for example, 83 percent of Asian and 82 percent of white seventh-graders had healthy weights, but just 68 percent of African-Americans and 63 percent of Latinos.
Neighborhoods and income levels contribute to such differences, along with access to fresh foods, safe parks and pedestrian and bike-friendly streets, experts say. A recent study by the Santa Clara County Public Health Department found that only 18 percent of retail food outlets in largely Latino neighborhoods offer quality fresh produce at affordable prices, said Aimee Reedy, division director of programs for the county.
And although some schools now seek to serve students more nutritious foods, many have mobile vendors parked nearby luring students with unhealthy treats, Reedy said.
Many low-income neighborhoods have a much higher density of fast food and convenience stores selling sugar-sweetened beverages that contribute to obesity problems, said Dr. Wendel Brunner, Contra Costa County public health director.
Brunner noted that in San Pablo the average elementary school has nine outlets selling sugar-sweetened beverages within a five-minute walk.
As Contra Costa health leaders seek to address such problems, they hope to ensure that people have access to water at drinking fountains in schools, parks and community centers, Brunner said.
In another category analyzed in the report — the percentage of school expulsions that result from serious offenses rather than "willful defiance" — Alameda County ranked among the bottom third of counties statewide, with 91 percent of expulsions for serious offenses.
Contra Costa County ranked among the bottom third in a similar category for suspensions — 53 percent of its suspensions were for serious offenses, meaning that large numbers occurred for more minor matters.
Students who are suspended or expelled for less-serious behavior "are not going to be in class, they are not going to be learning," said Jessica Mindnich, associate director of research for Children Now. "Missing school is only going to put these kids further behind."
She noted that some schools have established youth courts and other programs in which students with minor offenses are given other types of punishment by their peers that keep them in school, such as picking up trash at lunchtime.
The report, which includes county rankings in 28 categories of health and well-being, is available at www.childrennow.org/scpreview.

Breast Cancer in Men (Male Breast Cancer)
Topic Overview
What is male breast cancer?
Breast cancer in men is rare. Less than 1 out of 100 cases of breast cancer occurs in a man.footnote 1 It develops in the small amount of breast tissue found behind a man's nipple.
What causes male breast cancer?
Although the exact cause of breast cancer is not known, most experts agree that some men have a greater risk for breast cancer than others. Male breast cancer mostly affects older men.
Things that increase a man's risk of breast cancer include:
- Radiation exposure.
- Family history of breast cancer in his female relatives.
- Inheriting gene mutations, such as the BRCA2 gene.
- Having a genetic disorder called Klinefelter syndrome or a liver disease (cirrhosis).
What are the symptoms?
The most common symptom of male breast cancer is a painless lump or swelling behind the nipple. Other symptoms can include a discharge from the nipple or a lump or thickening in the armpit. Although most men diagnosed with breast cancer are older than 65, breast cancer can appear in younger men. For this reason, any breast lump in an adult male is considered abnormal and should be checked out by a doctor.
How is male breast cancer diagnosed?
Most male breast cancer is diagnosed with a biopsy to investigate a lump or thickening in the breast or armpit. Because there is no routine screening for breast cancer and a breast lump does not usually cause pain, sometimes breast cancer isn't discovered until it has spread to another area of the body and is causing other symptoms.
How is it treated?
The main treatment for male breast cancer is modified radical mastectomy, which is surgery to remove the breast and the lymph nodes under the arm (axillary lymph nodes). In some cases, breast-conserving surgery is possible.
There hasn't been much research on breast cancer treatments in men, because male breast cancer is so uncommon. But breast cancer in men is similar to breast cancer in women, and some of the same treatments may be used. These include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy.
Chemotherapy may be used after surgery to reduce the chance that breast cancer will come back somewhere else in the body. Most male breast cancer has estrogen and progesterone receptors and may be treated with tamoxifen.
Additional information about male breast cancer is provided by the National Cancer Institute at www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/malebreast/Patient.
What to think about
Male breast cancer is rare and makes up less than 1% of all breast cancers discovered each year. footnote 1For this reason, many experts encourage men with breast cancer to talk to their doctors about clinical trials. These trials continue to look for better ways to treat male breast cancer.

Game Warden Col. Pete Flores Receives National Honor
AUSTIN – Col. Pete Flores, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Law Enforcement Division Director, has received the first-ever Legacy Award from the National Association of Conservation Law Enforcement Chiefs.
The award, a bronze sculpture of a vigilant game warden called "Standing Watch" was presented by Gene Elms, law enforcement director for the Arizona Game and Fish Department at the meeting of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission May 24.
In conferring the award, Elms said it was in recognition of Flores' "contributions and undaunted work in securing a future for wildlife, conservation and game wardens" in the United States.
Flores is retiring at the end of the month after more than 27 years of state service. Chief of Staff David Sinclair, a 40-year TPWD veteran, has been named acting division director.
Under Flores' leadership, state game warden training moved from an outdated 1978-vintage, 6.2-acre facility in central Austin to a new 220-acre campus with 39,000 square feet of state-of-the-art building in Hamilton County.
Beyond an expanded role that includes environmental crimes enforcement, undercover investigations of interstate wildlife crimes and extensive outreach to build rapport in local communities, game wardens also assumed greater border security duties on Flores' watch, adding more "boots on the ground" and new types of boats, vehicles, and firepower.
A native of Laredo, Flores went to work for TPWD following his graduation from Texas A&M University.

Afterword to The Hebrew Edition of Learning All The Time
Homeschooling In Israel
By Yonat Sharon
John Holt's ideas resonated with many people who read his works. Those who tried to apply these ideas inside the school-system have often met objection, disregard, or merely superficial changes that only cover up the same old deeper patterns. But outside the school-system, in family settings, many found this way of learning both effective and fun, and discovered that it is the schoolish way of teaching that leads to objection from children, to them disregarding lessons, or to merely superficial learning.
Homeschoolers can let learning rise from daily activities: fractions can be learned from cooking, biology from gardening, physics from playing with Legos or sand, English [as a second language] from video games, art from decorating the home, history from the news, and countless other subjects that come up as normal people live an active life. Holt coined the term "unschooling" to describe this way of educating—letting learning be a natural part of life. It is not copying school into the home so that parents replace teachers and instruct their children. Unschooling means freeing our minds from the mental system of the schools by recognizing learning that arises from life experiences, without a timetable or curriculum.
When we start doing things this way we soon find out that it affects not only the way we educate our children, but also other areas in parenting and in life. Just as we learn to recognize learning even when it happens outside a classroom and without textbooks, we start finding friends for our children even in people who were not born the exact same year as our children, or finding work without job descriptions (unjobbing). The basis of Holt's ideas is the view that there isn't and shouldn't be a separation between learning and life. So it is no wonder that adopting this way for teaching, we discover that it is not only a way of educating but a way of life.
In Israel
A decade ago there were only a handful of homeschooling families in Israel, most of them in the Galilee or the greater Jerusalem area. Little by little other families joined them, many choosing homeschooling right from the start and not sending their children to any external system, even day care. Today (2003) There are several hundred homeschoolers in Israel—religious and secular, poor and affluent, in the city and in the country, from the northern border down to Eilat. Over time, the children of the veteran families have grown and the first ones are approaching the legal-age in which they will be drafted to the army. We all watch them with interest to see how they approach this stage of their life.
Most homeschooling families base their actions legally on the Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty and on supreme court rulings. Other families ask the Ministry of Education for exemption from the compulsory schooling law (and need to renew the exemption every year).
In many areas in Israel there are regular meetings of homeschoolers for social opportunities, common activities, and mutual support. Country-wide connection of the homeschooling community is supported by the Beofen-Tiv'ee ["naturally" in Hebrew] newsletter, conferences, and virtual community at http://www.beofen-tv.co.il/chiq.
There are several Israeli Internet sites about homeschooling:
* http://ootips.org/horut/hs-faq—questions and answers about homeschooling.
* http://www.beofen-tv.co.il/chiq—the main virtual gathering place for Israeli homeschoolers.
* http://www.efratonline.com/flag—general information and a discussion group (an Israeli site in English).
* http://www.homeschool.org.il—Education From Home, the site of Ari Noyman who is doing a Ph.D. about homeschooling.
The Story Behind The Book Translation
Ever since I read this book, I knew it should be translated and published in Hebrew. I made my opinion clear every chance I had, like old Cato who finished every speech with "Cartago must fall!" until his Roman fellowmen heeded his words and destroyed Cartago to the ground. My words did not have the dramatic effect of Cato's, but little by little mothers from the homeschooling and alternative education community started translating parts of the book and sent me their work. Several friends also consented to my requests and joined the translation project in their free time.
Editing texts in such different levels of translation and unifying the writing styles of the different translators required the skills of a professional editor, so I enlisted Mike Livneh, a knowledgeable and experienced editor, and - lucky for me - my father. To smooth the last rough edges and ensure high quality, I sent the book for review to several friends who work in books or education or both, and they generously helped to improve it.
One small yet important task remained: publishing. Volunteers weren't enough for that, since this involves a considerable expense. Luckily, Ilan and Anat Shen-Levi of Prague Publishing agreed to publish the book, seeing its value and not just its price.
The book you are holding is a result of the joint effort of all these people, who donated their time and energy to turn good intentions into reality, with the only payback being the feeling that they found what Holt wished for everyone: "a work worth doing".
Thanks to all the volunteer translators:
Yol Portugali Kushnir, who worked on the project from the beginning and continued to translate right to the end;
Yael Ran, who translated whole chapters as if she originally wrote them;
Dr. Yifat Fireman, who's attention to details left nothing to be corrected;
Talia Shiloah, who's effort and serious attitude brought a steady improvement in quality;
Noa Bareket, who managed to translate a complete chapter in spite of difficult time constrains;
Dr. Avner Kasher, who reported to mission right away, and did it quickly;
Ronit Sela, who did a wonderfully professional work;
And Noa Gal, who actually ignited the project, and then came back like a good fairy just when I felt it was stuck.
Thanks to all the reviewers who contributed corrections, comments, and insights: Dr. Basmat Even-Zohar, Gila Horesh, Roy Sharon, Nohar and Orr Shalit, Bracha Fabian, and Raheli Mendelson.
Thanks to Mike Livneh who edited the book with patience, rigor, and openness.
And thanks to Ilan and Anat Shen-Levi for agreeing to publish the book.

John Holt 1923–1985
John Holt was a teacher. Teaching, for him, involved learnin—learning about children and learning about learning. When he taught math, he learned how children learn math. Every lesson was also a research experiment and observation, and so was break-time, and life in general. John Holt was a relentless researcher.
His field studies on learning and teaching were published in his books How Children Fail and How Children Learn. The books soon became best sellers and made Holt one of the central and most influential people in American educational discourse.
Holt, like other educational thinkers in the sixties and seventies, worked to reform the American educational system and was one of the leading figures in the freeschooling movement. For years he participated in educational initiatives, traveled all over the US, lectured, counseled, and helped in every possible way to make schools better places for children.
And he learned from that too. And his conclusion from all his years of study about reforming the school system was to stop: Stop attempting to change the schools, stop trying to heal the system. He reached the conclusion that the problem in the school system is not something that could or should be fixed, because it is embedded in the foundations of that system, in the assumptions on which the very idea of schooling is based—the perception that children are a mold for us to shape:
"Organized education operates on the assumption that children learn only when and only what and only because we teach them. This is not true. It is very close to one hundred percent false."
Holt suggested to completely abandon the molding education, and called for creating alternatives. Not educational alternatives, but alternatives that will come instead of education; Not improvement in schools, but complete liberation from it: unschooling.
This call was heartedly echoed by families from all over the US - they chose to break free from the dependence on schools and give their children the freedom to learn in the family and community circles. The homeschooling movement, that included only a few thousand families in the sixties, has grown up to about 3-4% of American children today.
Holt was excited to see how homeschooling children learn naturally to read, write, math, science, art, and any other subject they are interested in. For him, the contact with homeschoolers was another opportunity to learn more about learning and to polish his insights from his many years as teacher and educational reformer.
The book you are holding is the result of Holt's decades of study and research in learning. It was inspired by Holt's acquaintance with many homeschooling families, and has inspired many other families who got acquainted with Holt through his words. For them, Holt was a teacher—he helped them find their way.

text: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 Researchers Find Association Between Brain Response to Injury and Chronic Pain Whether a person's injury will lead to chronic pain may depend on the level of communication between 2 parts of his or her brain, says a HealthDay article based on a study published in the current issue of Nature Neuroscience. For the study, the researchers used brain scans to examine the interaction between 2 parts of the brain—the frontal cortex and the nucleus accumbens—in 40 patients who had recent onset of back pain for the first time. The patients were followed for 1 year. By analyzing the scans, the investigators were able to predict whether the patients would develop chronic pain with an 85% level of accuracy. Brain regions related to emotional and motivational behavior seem to communicate more in those who develop chronic pain. Although the study showed an association between levels of communication in the brain and chronic pain, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship, the article says. Comments A Reducer or an Augmentor could distinguish the different types of personalities. Posted by Nadeem Abdulhafedh -> AKX`AO on 7/4/2012 10:20 PM

Camburg's "Naked" KINETIC 6100 - In StudioPosted in Features on July 7, 2014
The Download
You should never judge a book by its cover. Take this Camburg Engineering Kinetic 6100 truck as an example. Sure, a flashy metallic paint job on top of a precisely molded fiberglass truck body would make you want to drool, but what about what's underneath that body? What about all the hours of intensive hard-working labor put into every bend, notch, and weld? It's out of sight, and out of mind. You get caught up in the outside appearance and forget that true beauty is on the inside. That's why Camburg Engineering decided to go full nude on this 6100 photo shoot.
"We wanted to show off what we are building," explained Jerry Zaiden when asked about this unique concept photo shoot. "We're not hiding a mediocre truck with some fancy paint and fiberglass. We're trying to build a real high-end truck. So, we just wanted to show it off." By stripping the truck of its outside shell, you get to see the bare bones of it all—something not too often seen by our readers.
As for the truck itself, Camburg Engineering introduced its brand of high-end, CAD designed and developed race vehicles known as Kinetic back in 2009 at the Baja 1000. As we all know, the Baja 1000 is the ultimate testing ground for race vehicles. Fortunately, Camburg finished the race and demonstrated their Kinetic trucks can withstand the punishment of such a monumental race.
Every detail that goes into a Kinetic truck is not an afterthought. Careful consideration went into every feature of this 6100 truck, and it shows. Every part you see on this machine is something you would notice on a Trophy Truck—minus the spec engine—making it a 6100 truck. Camburg set out to build a competitive race truck, and we believe they have done so with Kinetic.
With the absence of the Kinetic 6100 exterior, you get a clear view of the truck's bare bones. Everything was drawn out in a CAD program before the crew over at Camburg Engineering went and pieced the puzzle together. If you think this piece of high-end machinery looks like a Trophy Truck, you would be correct. The only thing that's keeping this a 6100 truck is the spec LS3 engine.
Front Suspension
Up front, Camburg Engineering designed and developed a set of Kinetic center-mounted A-arms, which gives the truck 24 inches of front wheel travel. Controlling all of that movement is a set of Fox 4.0 five-tube piggyback bypasses and 2.5 remote reservoir coilovers. Hidden behind the Generals are Jamar 14-inch rotors and six-piston calipers, all of which are attached to Camburg hubs.
The only thing keeping this 6100 truck from being a full-blown Trophy Truck is the spec GM LS3 V-8 engine. Per Best in the Desert regulations, all engines must be sealed and tagged by Turnkey Engine Supply, thus creating somewhat of a level playing field. So, to help distribute all the power from the 440-horsepower LS3 engine, Camburg decided to go with a Rancho TH400 three-speed transmission.
Rear Suspension
In the rear, a Kinetic four-link allows the driver to tackle the toughest desert terrain with 32 inches of rear wheel travel. To keep that rear end under control, an arsenal of Fox components was used: 4.0 five-tube piggyback bypasses, 2.5 remote reservoir coilovers, and hydraulic bumpstops. Camburg also utilized its own heat-treated Trophy-Truck Race Series rear end and hubs.
One of the first things you'll notice as you take a look into the cab of this Kinetic 6100 is all of the carbon fiber that was used. Not only is the carbon-fiber dash light in weight, it also looks pretty trick. Another cool addition found in the interior is the MoTec C125 digital displays, which are full color. A Lowrance HDS8 GPS system keeps the crew on course, while a radio system from Rugged keeps everyone communicating freely.
