After a short foot chase, police nabbed Joseph Leon Cannon as he was coming out the back door of the apartment. He was taken to jail and booked on the felony warrant for his prior 2nd degree burglary, 3 misdemeanor warrants and now a new charge of fleeing the police. Joseph Cannon was a former Duluth Police "Property Crimes Most Wanted Person of the Week".

Revolution in education
TED is a lively site, sometimes very annoying but once in a while is encouraging. You might feel that someone is awake out there struggling to understand why our society is so mad, and why is it so sure about its "knowledge". Well, I always felt in schools that I was TRAINED to follow conventions and my mind was somewhat TAMED. However, what makes my mind alive to this day is that I have always questioned what I have been told. There is nothing more exciting than having your own experience and chasing for your own answers...
(Since I was in my elementary school I was convinced that there was no way that the very same identical unit 1 could create a group of 2 or 3 etc it would remain the very same 1 no matter how many times we tried to calculate it. In order to make some group of units they MUST be somehow different. A 1000 solders would never be a 1000 until they would be all different and each of them would be unique. My teachers were mentally stoned when I was asking questions like that. There is no explanation in any scientific book for how sciences "think", not even B. Russel could understand the psychology of math, while not just myself but many small children do not need to become trained mathematicians or philosophers to feel that math is a very illogical, very corrupted tricky game. No way, I thought, that math could make up any foundation for "exact" sciences! There are no exact sciences ever possible.)
Closing Statement from Vera Nova
Our vast, contemporary systems force us to squeeze our feet into a pair of one-size-fits-all shoes, and our minds into conventional thinking. We do NOT TEACH young minds in schools to experience life, but we TRAIN them to serve our gigantic arftifocial systems that do not serve any real individual, but an imaginable collective prototype.
We fight for our own point of view forgetting that every creature has its own truths stemming from its unique existence, and perception of that existence. In this age of rapid communication, we can reach one another almost instantly, anywhere in the world. But for all that, we do not understand each other any better than millennia ago.
While encouraging our personal creative abilities, we still need to learn the basic principals of communicating with each other and nature. We shall learn how to be more innovative and intuitive facing the world which is new and different, in every instant. CAN OUR SCHOOLS/COLLEGES be more like sustainable peaceful communities, not factory-like institutions, but open forums engaging students in all kinds of creative thinking and mutual self support? Can a new school practice inspirational and sustainable community living, while students are inventing their own architecture, infrastructure, taking care of their own farm, sound small businesses, like bakeries, shops or theaters, right on premises?
Would this be great for a change to experience the full spectrum of better, more meaningful life in your school?

Jul 7 2012: Hello Nova,
as I have no OBE I am afraid I am not able to follow you yet I get a notion on what you are pointing at.
As I see it, you can not bring this 'transcendent' experience 'down to earth', as we are grounded in what we have.
It is kind of like 'health'. You usually realise what was granted the moment you lost it and this even in one and the same individual.
What you also don't know is, if this 'state' of OBE is stable in itself or if it is still linked to your 'physical vessel'.
But what I assume is, that I would understand you differently if I would share this experience with you.
So one day from now we may connect and know differently than we are able to do today... :o)
Jul 7 2012: This is a very "crazy", very controversial subject OBE, it is attracting more and more researchers. I would not refer to this experience if I was not sure what happened to me. It took me years to understand. Unlike many people who are scared to share this experience with others because they expect others (who have no idea of what it is) call these "Stories" and people themselves, crazy, I am open for thinking with others.
If you do not trust me -- OK lets do not talk about it The main point however is that when we just dream while sleeping, our body is semi involved in dreams. People usually believe that our dreams when we sleep have physical influence, which is absolutely true.
It is a drastically different case When your body is dead - your sense-perceptions are shut completely. Some drugs can create similar effects. If you are still curious I will try to engage common logic and explain what I think it is.
It is different from 42.
Jul 7 2012: I hope never to loose curiosity and would like to hear what you would like to share.
I don't think that our dreams are semi- or fully connected to our body at all times, mostly they are, but I also experienced the usual 'flying' dreams or dreams in which I was able to walk through walls. What was surprising to me when I woke, was the fact, that I was not surprised to have this abilities in my dream, which was my reality when I was dreaming it. This, to some degree, made me realize that our minds would be able to adjust even to the most bizarre 'realities' if we were put into them by bith.
Yet the question stays unanswered to me what could be changed in our education system to free up those hidden possibilities of our minds, if we don't even manage to keep alive the natural given curiosity we all have within us today?
If you could fill in those concepts I may be able to see if they could work or not.
Jul 8 2012: I appreciate that you keep in mind the agenda...Before i get to this point - I LOVE your dream but more than that I absolutely admire your perception of the dream. "What was surprising to me when I woke, was the fact, that I was not surprised to have this abilities in my dream, which was my reality when I was dreaming it. This, to some degree, made me realize that our minds would be able to adjust even to the most bizarre 'realities' if we were put into them by bith." I remember this very famous American cosmonaut was able to articulate his experience in great words, saying that he was struck to realize that there were no ups and downs, lefts or rights...... and here is your vacuum feather and a hummer..... getting close to the "out of brain experience".
I think everything we've touched in our short posts is related, quite directly, to the possible revolution in our education and mentality. The more angles of observations we bring together for comparison the greater we might augment our vision. Language and grammar, sciences and math, arts and music as we explore these "subjects" in schools and in our social life are possible for us only because we have created conventional signs and special rules for them. It is about our collective "mentality" which does not really exist. Our knowledge as we articulate it is mainly about our crude approximations based on our collective experience. I hope that some day people would be able to understand that the nature's laws that govern our own perceptions are responsible for creating and conditioning what we call our physical reality with its gravitational, electromagnetic and other conditions. We do NOT discover universal laws but our internal laws within our unique realities and perceptions of these realities. A microbe would not even notice any table, its solidity or formation, or weight, it would not perceive its color or texture, or gravity that "puts" it on a floor, but a miicrobe would go through it
Jul 7 2012: Who am I to judge about someones experience? Why shouldn't I trust you in what you experienced?
I may not be able to 'follow' you or to understand you, but this self-explanatory because I did not have this experience. It is the same with me if someone has experienced 'God'. I didn't, I don't even know if God exists, I don't belief in one, but I would not consider this a 'story'. Some may be, but most will be a very strong sensation, which just happen not to have happened to me so far. I may not consider it a 'God' experience if I had one, yet I am sure I would be able to sense the intensity of such a feeling.
So if you are willing to share, I am willing to listen.
Jul 8 2012: I was bewildered since my early childhood by why was it impossible to fly through the wall, and why is that thing called "body" is so alien to me, heavy and clumsy. I could not make up my confidence in such experience at that age, this experience was myself, it came up within myself into my new alien environment. My earliest childhood impressions remain incomparable. When these memories occasionally emerge in brilliant light from the past, I feel as though I am awakening from the deep dull sleep that we call our 'daily routine'. Many of us call this sleep 'reality'.
The questions that children ask, come from the perspective of independent
observers. While they are still outsiders, newcomers, they have not yet become
seriously involved in pretensions of our society and its scenarios, in attempting
to fit into their limited categories. Very young children are our best teachers,
before they become victims of our social habits of thinking and acting.
As comical as those questions may seem to an adult, the essence of wonder itself
remains the most precious quality of our nature and very often this wonder can
take us to the most mysterious debts of our psychology.
Often narrowing its range and decreasing its points with age that natural wonder
leaves a mind in quite stiff condition when we get older. Sometimes we call this
stiffness a tradition, experience or even knowledge. As we grow up we hardly
distinguish those habits of thinking, from our real changing circumstances.
I'd like to repeat this again, by discovering physical laws, including Newton's and Einstein's we discover our own unique conditions within ourselves. Every living form must have a mind (while brains are not that important) because minds must perceive or in other words, Interact and protect its own unique domains through limitations. It is the most vital process of conditioning and eventually creating our internal worlds, whether they are similar or drastically different.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) requires the calculation of averages for consecutive periods of 30 years, with the latest covering the 1961–1990 period. However, many WMO members, including the UK, update their averages at the completion of each decade. Thirty years was chosen as a period long enough to eliminate year-to-year variations.
The latest set of 30-year averages covers the period 1981-2010.

FARGO (KFGO-AM) - Fans and former colleagues are remembering pro wrestling legend Mad Dog Vachon. The Canadian-born Vachon, who spent decades entertaining millions, died Thursday at age 84.
KFGO News spoke with one of Vachon's closest friends, retired pro wrestler Baron von Raschke. "In person he was a great guy, a great guest in your house. He was very, very innovative. He had a great mind for the wrestling business, he loved the wrestling business. He was just a really,really, good friend to me." Von Raschke said.
For several years, von Raschke and Vachon wrestled as tag-team partners for the Minneapolis-based A-W-A.
Von Raschke is now retired and lives in Hastings, Minn.

13. Writing your own Safe Perl.
Only a restricted set of the Perl language is available: usage of unsafe features (even within eval statements) are trapped and the program is not run. There are many Perl operators not available to the CGI directory in which your program is run. These include the operators that could affect the operating system. The following list is not exhaustive but includes the most common excluded operators:
- system, `backticks`, exec, fork, syscall, signal handlers, pipes (including open(FOO, "|bar") and open(FOO, "bar|"))
- network access (socket, bind, connect, ...)
- File munging (rename, link, opendir, chown, ...)
- System V IPC (shared memory, message queues, semaphores)
- File tests (-r, -w, -l, ...)
- Calling perl on other files (require, use, do 'file')
Opening files for reading/writing is restricted. The "open" command is subject to the following restrictions:
- Files opened for reading must be owned by the user. Your CGI
program is run with a current directory of ~/cgi/. It is strongly recommended that
you use relative pathnames (for example,
- Files opened for writing must be opened by using a filename containing no "/" characters. The filename is taken to live in the directory ~/cgi/out and the file must already exist at the time the open is performed. It can be a symbolic link if desired.
Once you have written and debugged your CGI program, put it in ~/cgi/bin (creating that directory if necessary). There is no need to include a leading "#!" line, nor will one be honoured if you do. Supposing that your username is quux and your program is called foo, the URL to run your program is
When the web server runs your program it will run it with the privileges of your Oxford account.
Any use of a masked operator in your Perl program will trigger a compile time error (which your browser will display) and the program will not run at all. A "masked operator" is an operator which is restricted but which, unlike "open", is not aliased to a secure sanitised version. The error message will be something like opname trapped by operation mask at line ... where opname is replaced by the name of the offending operator.
Please be aware that, even with the restrictions on what your program can do, it is possible that someone out on the web will be able to persuade it do something you weren't expecting. Even with the file limitations, for example, your program may have a bug which lets someone see the contents of any file you own. You are responsible for the CGI programs you write and you must ensure that your CGI programs do not contravene OUCS rules.
For sorting lists, the perl built in sort operator is masked (since inconsistent comparison subroutines can cause the underlying C library qsort function to core dump). Two functions are provided for sorting lists in the two most common collating sequences: ASCII and numeric. To sort an array @unsorted into increasing ASCII order use
@sorted =
To sort into increasing numerical order use
@sorted =
If you want a decreasing order, then just use the standard Perl reverse operator on the resulting array.
- Every CGI script must output at least one header line. If your
program generates output, it needs a Content-type line indicating what kind of
document (MIME type) it is producing. If your script outputs an HTML page, the
correct format is:
Content-type: text/html
Up: Contents Previous: 12. Sending email from your CGI script Next: 14. Re-directing to a different site

LOL, apparently I'm "approachable hot".
Lol, so I was talking with a friend about how I've always wondered what it would be like to be one of those hot girls that turns every head, gets every guy's attention. Then, my friend told me that I'm "approachable hot". When I laughed my ass off, he explained that while I'm not that super, double-take hot, I'm the kind of hot that makes guys want to walk up and say hello because I'd still talk to them, and that the problem with those super hot girls is that they know they're hot and they'll ignore you because they know they can get anyone. Since I was still laughing, he further explained that the best thing about being "approachable hot" is that it takes a genuine girl, with enough confidence to like herself but not so much that she's an arrogant bitch, to pull it off, that a bitch can't be "approachable hot" because it shows. So, he said that it's the best kind of hot because the girl doesn't even know how hot she is and so it doesn't scare away the guy that she's trying to get, and she still gets to be pretty damn hot.
I guess if that's true, it's quite a compliment. Lol, but I don't know much of that is bullshit. x)
In any case, I'm okay with the way Ben put it, that I'm hot in that I dress really frumpy most of the time but I make it work because you can tell I like myself and I don't dress to impress anyone, so it ends up still being pretty. x)
These boys and their making shit up to make my plainness sound nice. x) Haha, I know I'm plain, but I also know that I'm not ugly. I'm generically attractive, I have an appealing figure and I take good care of my hair. If I tried, I could look better, but I don't care to put in all that effort, so I'll take plain and I'm happy with that. :)
(I have such sweet friends. <3)
(This reminded of another time that my friend got really drunk and came to my place and was babbling about his ex and all the dumb sluts at our school, and then he turned to me and grabbed my shoulders and was like, "See, you're seriously the hottest girl at this school, 'cause you just wear jeans and boots and you don't dress up, but you walk around with all this confidence, like, you're just happy and you don't have to dress up to be happy and feel pretty and it just draws me in, you know, 'cause you're just hot without trying for it," and proceeded to laugh hysterically and go on with his babbling. Lol, so I dunno if he meant it but it was still a nice compliment that seems to go along the same lines of this "approachable hot" business.)

Some people are disgusting.
Last night would've been a fantastic night. It was, if I could forget the last hours of it.
First I went out with Ben. We ate a quick dinner together and went to his band's rehearsal, then he and I went for a walk and a drink. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Then he dropped me off back at the dorm building. He always waits until I get in the outside door before driving off, and last night, the door was blocked by a bunch of thugs. As I walked by them to go inside, they started grabbing my hair and clothes. It was surprisingly discreet for such guys, because even Ben said he didn't see much as I walked in. (He was driving away, and only saw one of them grab a bit of my hair as I passed, and he assumed I knew the guy.) My room is rather close to the outer door, and I wasn't sure if the guys had seen me go into my room, and I bolted myself in. In my fear and panic, I didn't know who to call but Ben. When he heard me crying and what had happened, he immediately returned. He looked around the building for them and stayed close to my door to keep an eye out. He let me cry and we were quiet for a while. Then I talked about what happened, about things like this that have happened before, and cried a little more. He suggested going to the campus police and carrying a gun. After more crying, and some giggles as he attempted (and miraculously succeeded) to cheer me up a bit, he decided he was going to stay with me for the night since I didn't feel safe. While he went to lock his car and cover his belongings, I called my parents to let them know what had happened and that I was safe and being cared for. My mom was worried and suggested that I go the campus police. Then she asked to talk to Ben, so he talked with her for a few minutes and then she bid us good night. I didn't sleep well, even though I always sleep better next to a person. I know he didn't sleep well either. But I did manage to sleep a bit, which is more than I would have if I had been alone. This morning he left early, and when I finally left my dorm to go eat, there was a group of guys by the door again. I walked around the building and left through the other door.
I've gone to the campus police about these things before. They've told me we already have nightly rounds with the officers and they deal with any of these encounters that they see, and that they can't do anything if I don't know who did it. Faces all look the same to me if I don't know a person, and I don't pay a lot of attention. Last night was no exception. As I walked through them, I had intentionally avoided eye contact and I didn't see any faces. I couldn't pick them out if I saw them again. I'm fairly certain I'll get the same answer from the UDPS if I go talk to them again. I'm not keen on carrying a gun without a license, so that's out. I'm feeling like there's nothing really to do. I wish the fear would ebb.
If I look at the positive, though, Ben really handled the situation perfectly. He was exactly what I needed last night, and did everything I needed him to, said everything perfectly. He was exactly the right mix of strong, angry, protective, calm, and sensitive. He held me, consoled me, gently joked with me, kissed me, talked to my mother, and slept at my side. When I wasn't sure if I could hold it in anymore, he said, "It may be painfully obvious, but you're a good person, Kasey, and they're disgusting criminals. You don't deserve that and I think the way you're feeling is appropriate. It's not dramatic or unwarranted," and the dam on my tears broke. I sobbed uncontrollably for a few minutes and thanked him for that. While it may be painfully obvious to him, it's hard to remind myself of that. There was nothing else he could have said that would have helped as much as that did. And he let me be the mess I felt inside. I was always afraid of being overly emotional around him, and he's really helped me learn to feel, but not feel in a way that's unnecessary. He's helped me feel secure with myself in a way that requires me to be secure with myself, since he's not my boyfriend, but he still dates me and makes me feel lovely. And then when I needed another person to be there for me, he stepped up valiantly and unselfishly. It was perfect on his part. I feel better today than I would have if he hadn't taken care of me.
I hate reminders that people are disgusting.
I am thankful for the friends I have that take care of me, and give me hope for mankind and for love.

Just watched Shane Dawson's High School Drama video.
You can watch it, if you're interested, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nReOeW1UckI
Anyway, I love when he does videos like this. Aside from the fact that he's damn hilarious, it's a big reason I follow him: after all the dirty, dry, twisted humor, he never ceases to amaze me at how easily he can remind all his viewers that he has a heart that is truly loving and understanding.
These new characters of his have really hit home with me. His Father's Day video made me cry and I was very pleased when he decided to keep working with the characters to work through issues he wants to discuss that have a more serious tone than some of his other (hilarious) junk. (Not that he would, but he were ever to come across this and read it, I hope he'd understand that no matter how I may bash his funny videos, I love them. When I need a laugh, a good laugh, I go to his channel. I would never mean the things I say in an ugly way. He inspires me. :D)
This video made me smile and well up with tears. For a long time, I hated myself for many reasons, reasons I never understood, reasons that grew worse with time. Being so young, only about 8 at the time, hearing a doctor say "severe chronic depression" and trying to explain it to me, trying to tell me that it's perfectly normal, but would probably never go away… I just didn't understand. All I knew was that nothing made me happy, I couldn't focus on anything, I didn't even know why I bothered living… and the one the doctor said that did make sense was that she couldn't help me, because I was too small and too young. I wanted to grow up, wanted to get bigger, so I could be happy. I thought that that was how it worked. But as I grew, it only got worse. Hated my body, hated my personality, hated my height, hated my hair, hated everything that was me. I especially hated what was on the outside, because I had to see it in the mirror, the way others see me.
In the ugliest way a girl of 14 could imagine, a way that few truly understand because it's still so painful for me to discuss, I finally learned the truth. When I couldn't love myself, no one could love me. I began to see that depression didn't mean I had to hate myself. It meant I had to appreciate everything so that happiness might come a little easier.
Right away, I could appreciate the beauty in every little thing and every person around me, but it wasn't so easy when it came to myself. So, I chopped off all the hair I had hated, a symbolic way of starting anew. (Shortly after that, I actually started liking my hair, as it was.) I began to embrace my personality and realize that what I hated and wanted to change would only change if I did it for me, not for anyone else. I began to like my stubborn will; it made me willing to fight for what I believed and helped me help others. I grew alright with the fact that I wasn't top of my class, because I was still bright and still amazed people with my intellect. I will never stop wishing that I didn't have such a naive trust in the world, but I can't help it; I like to think the world is good, and it keeps hope in my heart, so accepted my naivete as well. I became stronger in my acceptance of myself, and realized that nothing needed to change, because then I wouldn't be me.
Once I could embrace my personality, I decided that I needed to embrace the self that I had to face in the mirror every day, if I were to truly love myself. I had to come to terms with the stereotypes and jokes that come with being so short; I can't change it all. (At the time, I was 4'11". I now stand only 5'.) I've since grown my hair back out and I'm actually quite pleased with it; I get many compliments on it. I've accepted my plain face and do my best to look presentable every day. Hardest of all, I learned not to care that I didn't have the perfect body with which the media plagues every girl; I had a perfectly average body that someone someday would find attractive.
9 years later, being 18 now, I'm still too small to be helped with medication, even considered too young. But I don't need the help. I've learned to be happy with who I am. The depression still exists, hitting me harder some times than others, but it doesn't consume me like it used to. At least not with hate and sadness. I'm actually very happy a lot of the time. And I've learned to love myself, something that seems to be impossible in today's world, something I rarely see in others around me. And I try very hard to remind the people I love, and some that I don't, that they are perfect the way they are. If I can believe it, I hope the world can too.
Thank you, Shane, if you read this. Thank you for reading it, firstly. But truly, thank you for renewing my faith in people, that the world really does have kind souls. Thank you for making videos that make me laugh, make me cry, make me think. Thank you for sharing kindness with a sometimes cruel world. Thank you for talking about the things that really matter, whether we want to admit they matter or not. Thank you for being you, and being happy with you. I hope you know that you inspire others to be happy with themselves too.
(This doesn't really fit into what I'm talking about, but, to my friends, if you read this: you all get so offended when you compliment me, I thank you but I say I'm not pretty, and you insist that I am. Maybe to you, I am. But to me, I am not. I will never think so, despite anything you say. But this no longer kills me inside, no longer makes me angry, no longer makes me jealous of every pretty girl in my life. I am perfectly content with not being pretty. I am happy without being pretty. I don't need empty obligatory words to make me pretty. I have learned that love, the love I give and the love I receive, will make me pretty to others. But it will never make me pretty to me. Please understand that I don't need to think I'm pretty. I appreciate your sentiments, and thank you for the kind words, but to me, they are only such: words. I would like to say that I'm sorry, but I can't lie to my friends; I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry for being happy without thinking I'm pretty.)

(tl;dr) Lol, what is it with boys and their…
"before you leave" confessions?
Heh, guys, both friends and "enemies" alike, have been sending me these strange confessions. Some have been innocent and sweet; others have been sexual or just plain rude. But they have all either begun or ended with "I just thought you should know before you left," or "I wanted to tell you since you're leaving," or the like.
First. Dudes, really. I'm not just gonna go away forever. I'll talk to you on Facebook. I'll text you, if I liked you. I'll come to visit during holidays. I'll see you at reunions. I'm not even leaving the state. Lol. Granted, most of the confessions haven't really changed my opinions, but, I mean, why is it presented in the context of me going away? It's not like I'll never see these guys again, never get in touch with them again. If they wanna confess something to me, it's cool, but if they wanna do it because I'll leave and it'll never be awkward, then they kinda failed. Lol.
Second. I'm gonna hope that all these boys are intelligent enough to realize the above point, which leads me to another thing. If they know that they will in fact hear from me while I'm 6-8 hours away, and realize that this means that the confession may or may not change our friendship (or lack thereof), then why are they really confessing such things to me? This doesn't really apply to the nice ones that seem to be for the sake of starting a belated or overdue friendship, or the ones that simply express respect for someone, but really to the ones that address physical things. I mean, they come from both friends and people I didn't consider friends. Was it for the hopes that they would change our relationship into something more? Should I naively assume innocent intentions? Do I trust them enough? With one of them, no; he's proven dirty intentions. But is that true of all of them? I hope not. I love some of them dearly as friends, brothers. I would feel awful to reject them, but I couldn't do anything else. Not only are they too close to me, I have a wonderful boyfriend whom I wouldn't hurt like that. I'm just scared, I guess.
Last. Dudes, why couldn't you just tell me (some of) these things while I was still here, when it could've made a difference? In this case, the opposite of the above is true; I mean this for the sweet ones that made me smile, and could help a friendship blossom. I like that you respect me; I've always respected you deeply. I'm sorry I never gave you a chance; I just never knew how sweet you were and always assumed you couldn't stand me - I wish I'd known. Ya know what I mean? Why when it seems too late do you tell me? I mean, it's not, but why do you tell me because I'm "going away"? Because you never really wanted to be my friend? Because you truly thought I'd reject your kindness? Meh. I'm glad for the kindness, but I half-wish it had happened when I could've been around for a friendship.
Anyway, just a little spiel on strange "last-minute" confessions that aren't truly last minute. Sorry if you wasted your life reading it. :)

11 U.S. Code § 510 - Subordination
(a) A subordination agreement is enforceable in a case under this title to the same extent that such agreement is enforceable under applicable nonbankruptcy law.
(b) For the purpose of distribution under this title, a claim arising from rescission of a purchase or sale of a security of the debtor or of an affiliate of the debtor, for damages arising from the purchase or sale of such a security, or for reimbursement or contribution allowed under section 502 on account of such a claim, shall be subordinated to all claims or interests that are senior to or equal the claim or interest represented by such security, except that if such security is common stock, such claim has the same priority as common stock.
(c) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of this section, after notice and a hearing, the court may—
(1) under principles of equitable subordination, subordinate for purposes of distribution all or part of an allowed claim to all or part of another allowed claim or all or part of an allowed interest to all or part of another allowed interest; or
Source(Pub. L. 95–598, Nov. 6, 1978, 92 Stat. 2586; Pub. L. 98–353, title III, § 451,July 10, 1984, 98 Stat. 375.)
Historical and Revision Notes
legislative statements
Section 510(c)(1) of the House amendment represents a compromise between similar provisions in the House bill and Senate amendment. After notice and a hearing, the court may, under principles of equitable subordination, subordinate for purposes of distribution all or part of an allowed claim to all or part of another allowed claim or all or part of an allowed interest to all or part of another allowed interest. As a matter of equity, it is reasonable that a court subordinate claims to claims and interests to interests. It is intended that the term "principles of equitable subordination" follow existing case law and leave to the courts development of this principle. To date, under existing law, a claim is generally subordinated only if holder of such claim is guilty of inequitable conduct, or the claim itself is of a status susceptible to subordination, such as a penalty or a claim for damages arising from the purchase or sale of a security of the debtor. The fact that such a claim may be secured is of no consequence to the issue of subordination. However, it is inconceivable that the status of a claim as a secured claim could ever be grounds for justifying equitable subordination.
Subordination: Since the House amendment authorizes subordination of claims only under principles of equitable subordination, and thus incorporates principles of existing case law, a tax claim would rarely be subordinated under this provision of the bill.
Section 511 of the Senate amendment is deleted. Its substance is adopted in section 502(b)(9) of the House amendment which reflects an identical provision contained in H.R. 8200 as passed by the House.
senate report no. 95–989
Subsection (a) requires the court to enforce subordination agreements. A subordination agreement will not be enforced, however, in a reorganization case in which the class that is the beneficiary of the agreement has accepted, as specified in proposed 11 U.S.C. 1126, a plan that waives their rights under the agreement. Otherwise, the agreement would prevent just what chapter 11 contemplates: that seniors may give up rights to juniors in the interest of confirmation of a plan and rehabilitation of the debtor. The subsection also requires the court to subordinate in payment any claim for rescission of a purchase or sale of a security of the debtor or of an affiliate, or for damages arising from the purchase or sale of such a security, to all claims and interests that are senior to the claim or interest represented by the security. Thus, the later subordination varies with the claim or interest involved. If the security is a debt instrument, the damages or rescission claim will be granted the status of a general unsecured claim. If the security is an equity security, the damages or rescission claim is subordinated to all creditors and treated the same as the equity security itself.
Subsection (b) authorizes the bankruptcy court, in ordering distribution of assets, to subordinate all or any part of any claim to all or any part of another claim, regardless of the priority ranking of either claim. In addition, any lien securing such a subordinated claim may be transferred to the estate. The bill provides, however, that any subordination ordered under this provision must be based on principles of equitable subordination. These principles are defined by case law, and have generally indicated that a claim may normally be subordinated only if its holder is guilty of misconduct. As originally introduced, the bill provided specifically that a tax claim may not be subordinated on equitable grounds. The bill deletes this express exception, but the effect under the amendment should be much the same in most situations since, under the judicial doctrine of equitable subordination, a tax claim would rarely be subordinated.
1984—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 98–353amended subsec. (b) generally. Prior to amendment, subsec. (b) read as follows: "Any claim for recission of a purchase or sale of a security of the debtor or of an affiliate or for damages arising from the purchase or sale of such a security shall be subordinated for purposes of distribution to all claims and interests that are senior or equal to the claim or interest represented by such security."
Effective Date of 1984 Amendment
Amendment by Pub. L. 98–353effective with respect to cases filed 90 days after July 10, 1984, see section 552(a) ofPub. L. 98–353, set out as a note under section 101 of this title.

Turnberry tycoon Don Soffer, 80, married his girlfriend, massage therapist Michele King, Saturday night at — where else? — the Fontainebleau.

Tony Bennett serenaded the crowd with his daughter, Antoinette. Bishop Victor T. Curry did the short oceanfront ceremony, while a rabbi blessed the challah before the meal. A gospel choir sang until the bride and groom were ready. "The centerpieces," says our wedding crasher, "were as exquisite as was the bride." The weekend ended in a casual Sunday brunch. Mazel tov to the new Soffers.

Anna Nicole Smith has been dead for five years but she left an indelible mark on the pop culture landscape. So Lifetime is doing a movie of the week about her under the working title "The Anna Nicole Smith Story," to be shot in Atlanta from Oct. 15 to Nov. 9, according to the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
Actress Agnes Bruckner ("Private Practice," "The Bold and the Beautiful") has been cast to play Smith, according to Deadline.com.
Smith, a former Playboy Playmate, became a newsworthy after she married an 89-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall who was 63 years her elder. After he died, his family fought her over the inheritance for years. She briefly had an E! reality show but in 2007, died of what was deemed a drug overdose at age 39.
Virginia Madsen ("Sideways") will play Anna's mom. Martin Landau ("Crimes and Misdemeanors") will play the oil tycoon who weds Smith.
A straight-to-DVD film about Smith's life was released in 2009 starring Willa Ford as Smith.

Sorry but that lady should not have been chosen to play Anna. No where near the beauty she was, Even with blond hair does not compare or resemble. BOO!

Seriously? Smith was bloated, blithering, pill-popping trailer trash in her final years. That's a bad picture of Bruckner…typically a lot more attractive that this pic.

nobody normal, decent whould want to play drug addicted floozie "AnnaNicole". Ms. Bruckner made a very bad career move. Anna Nicole hurt every person around her; they died or were hurt financially, emotionally or ended up in prison. She was jinx.

2:22 pm
From the pics I have seen, not nearly pretty enough to play Anna whereas Virginia Madsen is WAY too pretty to play her mom. Hope this is better than the abortion that was the 09 movie. Anna's life was like a shakespearean tragedy. She was a wonderful woman and deserves to have her story told right!

c'mon rodney. admit you wanted to motorboat her teeeots

This is not a bad career choice by Ms. Bruckner. She is simply playing a role, portraying a character. How did ANS get to be the person she became? What does her popularity say about our Western Culture? What did her legal fight w/ the family of her deceased husband tell us about our legal system and how we view money? Would you have us ban all movies about contorversial or badx individuals? Would you ban all contorverisal or bad characters? You could not tell even a bibliical story if you did such nonesense (ie, Deliliah would be a bad career move as would Pontius Pilot).

when she started out, I thought she was beautiful. She was the opposite of the really thin model, and she did great during the peak of Guess jeans. At that time here were not many models that had the whole hourglass thing ging on. I have seen a couple of shows about her (True Hollywood Story and others), and she was gorgeous before the drugs/alcohol got to her. I think she had some really crappy people around her, and I guess she was not strong enough to do without them. Her daughtter is beautiful too, and I always liked the kid's dad Larry.

She, Larry, and and Howard were all white trash

we all know anna nicole was talentless degenerate, parasite who wanted money without work. what she did to marshall family was criminal. i'm glad she did not get anything. larry birkhead, gay man who was chosen to be baby's dad constantly exploits her kid in tabloids. i don't think there will be happy end for anna's daughter. she will end up dead; drugs, crime, etc.
October 13th, 2012
3:59 pm
We miss you Anna Nicole, you were precious
October 13th, 2012
4:01 pm
Some of you said "she didn't want to work". Just google " Anna Nicole Guess Model", you'll see she was a successful working model. Don't speak ill of the dead.
October 13th, 2012
4:35 pm
The strippers in Atlanta look way better than her and are more intelligent and classy!
October 15th, 2012
2:20 pm
rock and roll your lame for that go up
October 16th, 2012

[...] The late Anna Nicole Smith, God rest her soul, will be the subject of a new Lifetime movie that is now filming in Atlanta. [...]

Teak Shower Seat 21 21
Perfect Perfect size for my 4.5 foot tiled shower. Nice looking and nice looking. June 27, 2014
Small yet very sturdy! This seat is a great size for a shower stall. It fits perfectly in corner when not being used. Works great with a handheld shower head. One leg is adjustable to stabilize on tiles. Very sturdy. June 16, 2014
This product is a better product than I had imagined Ordered a similar product from another vendor and had to return it...I was a little worried that this one would be the same way...boy was I wrong ..;..this seat is well made and sturdy...just the right size and shape and was packaged well to prevent shipping damage...I highly recommend this seat January 30, 2014
Great value and better than expected. After looking around for a while this seat seemed to have the features that I was looking for. It arrived very well packed, with high quality hardware and simple instructions. Although the adjustable leg is slightly crooked, the weld is very strong and this does not affect the function or look of the stool. The wood and metal are both well finished. I will buy from Improvements again. January 11, 2014

We are a Christ-loving, passionate, early-rising group of junior-seniors, striving to grow in the likeness of Jesus.
The Vessels of Light Life Group is a diverse group of ladies who are single, married, widowed and divorced. Some are employed, and others are retired, but continue to be involved in a wide range of activities at NBC and in the community. We laugh, encourage, share, pray and sometimes cry together as we grow in Christ. We range in age from around 50 to 75ish, but whatever your age, we welcome you to come at 8:00 each Sunday morning for Bible Study and prayer, prior to the 9:15 worship service.
For more information call the Education Office, 803-520-9544.
Our LIFE Group is a unique blend of various personalities that make each Sunday a truly enjoyable learning experience. Every group member has come to know Jesus in his/her own way. These differences result in each meeting being a spiritual blend of sharing, caring, encouragement and uplifting love and concern. The fellowship that results from our meetings cannot be duplicated outside of a Christian environment and are the obvious result of the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Our Life Group welcomes all adult ages and walks of life. The class is taught by one of our pastors, Scott Crede, who is truly blessed with the gift of teaching scripture. We study the Bible verse by verse and apply it to everyday life.
Our group is primarily composed of married couples, ranging in age from mid 30s to mid 50s. Our main focus is to study God's Word in depth so we will be better equipped to serve God and others in a biblical way on a daily basis.

Repeat Event: Detached from recurrence
The Wassaic Project, an artist-run multidisciplinary arts organization located in a renovated mill in the hamlet of Wassaic, New York, is pleased to announce the third iteration of the Wassaic Project Summer Festival, a free multi-disciplinary celebration of art, music, and community from August 5-7, 2011. This year's Festival will feature over 100 artists, 25 bands, poetry readings, dance performances, film screenings, and more.
Housed in and around historic buildings in Wassaic, NY, The Wassaic Project's annual Summer Festival aims to present art in a venue that challenges the white walls of traditional art spaces, focusing instead on site-sensitive installations and performances. As visitors climb through the vertical levels of the Project's historic wooden mill-cum-exhibition space, they are able to explore the work of over 100 emerging contemporary artists, whose bold and intricate installations, paintings, sculptures and videos respond beautifully to the unique architecture that houses them. In 2010 over 4,000 festivalgoers shared in the three-day celebration. The 2011 Summer Festival, which promises to be even bigger, offers a unique weekend-long opportunity for the general public, as well as artists of all mediums, to come together, exchange ideas, learn new things, and engage in a thriving arts community—free of cost.
This year's Visual Artists will include our 2011 Artists in Residence: Disorientalism (Katherine Behar & Mariann Kim), Guy Ben-Ari, Caitlin Berrigan, Ben Bigelow, Jade Boyd, Dana Bunker, Caroline Burghardt, Dan Carlson, Christian Chapman, Ryan Frank, Patrick Gantert, Ghost of a Dream, Daniel Glendening, David Grainger, Jeila Gueramian, Ben Judd, River Jukes-Hudson, Sarah Hardesty, Jen Kelly, Karl LaRocca, Amanda Lechner, JW LEE, Cristobal Mendoza and Annica Cuppetelli, Masako Miki, Clare Parry, Sarah Nicole Phillips, Francis Rabkin, Corina Reynolds, Kristen Schiele, Tomie Seo, Alia Shawkat, Dave Sinaguglia, Millee Tibbs and Michael Woody, Breanne Trammell, Chloe Watson, Brindalyn Webster, James Weingrod, Nicole White, Leah Wolff, & Jing Yu, and more. The Music Lineup features over 25 bands, including This Frontier Needs Heroes, Patrick Cleandenim, Acrylics, Diamond Doves, Backwords, Ghost/Light, Electric Junkyard, Caged Animals, Free Blood, and more. The Film Program, produced by Liliana Greenfield-Sanders, will include The Strange Ones (directed by Christopher Radcliff and Lauren Wolkstein), The Substitute (directed by Talya Lavie), Patrol (directed by John Patton Ford), and The Poodle Trainer (directed by Vance Malone), among others. The Dance Program, choreographed by the legendary Charmaine Warren (NYU/Tisch, The Ailey School) and the Wassaic Project Dance Committee, will feature performances by an all-star cast that includes Malinda Ray Allen, Jamel Gaines (Creative Outlet Dance Theater), Vincent Hardy, Helen Heinaman (Viewpointe), Maré Hieronimus, Earl Moseley (Institute for the Arts), Becky Sellinger, and Antonia Urzua. The performances will embrace the unique structure and environment of the Maxon Mills as the dancers interact with the art installations and audiences inside and outside the exhibition spaces.
The Wassaic Project is an artist-run sustainable, multidisciplinary arts organization that focuses on community engagement and facilitates artists and participants to exhibit, discuss, and connect with art, each other, our unique site, and the surrounding community.
We seek to make connections between artists of all disciplines. We facilitate interaction and collaboration among artists and the public by utilizing our historic location to create new ways of working in the arts and to inspire new ways of seeing art. The Wassaic Project's activities include an annual summer festival, a year-round artist residency, studio visits/critiques for artists involved with the organization by guest curators and visiting artists, artist workshops with community members, published catalogs, and fundraising exhibitions in Wassaic and New York City. Our programs intend to generate dialogue and collaboration across geographic, ideological and disciplinary boundaries.
Maxon Mills and The Luther Barn are located within walking distance from Metro North's Wassaic station. For schedules and fares, visit the MTA's website at http://mta.info/index.html.

- " We really enjoyed staying here. The staff was great, and the location was excellent. The needs reach had lights and power outlets, and the dorm had its own bathroom. We would definitely stay here again. "
- 01 Sep 2014 Anonymous USA
- " Awesome breakfast (not included, 3,90 EUR). "
- 27 Jul 2014 Anonymous Germany
- " Overall, this was a good hostel. The staff was excellent! We were able to get into our room early which was very welcome after a night train & staff answered all of our questions expertly in a friendly matter. Room was relatively small, but very clean- seemed a bit pricey for a hostel. With no air conditioning, the windows had to stay open and the street was somewhat noisy at night. The location seemed far from the main attractions, though it was very close to a subway stop. "

- " Noisy at late time,becouse of in-house bar. I could not have good sleep,because other roommates made noisy talking at late time. And there were no notise for quiet time manner from staff. "
- 15 Jul 2014 Koji Japan
- " TERRIBLE. All Facillities are drity. I've found bed bugs on my bed. But The staff just said 'We 'll check . That's all' What the hell.......? "
- 14 Jul 2014 Anonymous South Korea
- " Can't go wrong with a wombats hostel, had a great time here! "
- 07 Jul 2014 Anonymous USA
- " There was a big surprise for us because we got double bed room. We booked two beds in a dormitory room but we got room just for two of us. The room was outstanding. Clean and airy with a toilet. Also the crew of this hostel is very outgoing and friendly. We spent a very good time with them (till 4 am :)) "
- 21 Jun 2014 Anonymous Poland
- " Massive hostel. Would recommend if student and/or traveling with friends as there is a bar/lounge area plus free welcoming drinks upon arrival. Breakfast was great and worth the small amount of money required for it. Staff were the best I've ever come across, very accommodating and helpful. Worth the stay. "
- 04 May 2014 Anonymous USA
- " Have stayed in both wombats Nachtmarkedt and the Lounge on different trips, both are clean tidy and have good security as expected with most large chains however they also have a bit of charecter. The Nachmarket is in my view a more atmospheric place, however it is in the markets and is less convenient than The Lounge that lies across the street from the westbahnhof. "
- 27 Apr 2014 Anonymous Australia
- " Staff was so nice when we arrived, so our trip had a great start! Location was good near the shopping street and one train station. Rooms were nice and clean, wifi was fast and the lockers in the rooms were handy. Breakfast buffet was awesome, really value for the money that we paid for it. Some minor flaws: there were only three wall sockets in our room located right next to the door and hand soap and towel in the toilet would be nice, but still this hostel was quite a jackpot. "

VIDEO: Luke Bryan Checked His Watch During National Anthem
Country singer Luke Bryan admitted that he was reading from his hand and his watch while performing the National Anthem at the MLB All-Star game yesterday. He got a little flack from his actions, so Luke took to twitter to explain the whole thing. It was not intended to be disrespectful.
Bryan wrote, "I did check my watch because I knew the stealth bomber would fly over 2 minutes in and I knew a [sic] started a little late."
As for reading the National Anthem off his hand, Bryan says, "I had a few keys words written down to insure myself that I wouldn't mess up. I just wanted to do my best. I promise it was from the heart. If I offended anyone with my approach I sincerely apologize. Anytime I sing the anthem it is an honor and my heart beats out of my chest."
I totally side with Luke Bryan here. I mean, really America? Would you rather have some celebrity artist butcher our nation's sacred song OR write down a few world's to help him out because it's our nation's sacred song. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Lay off people!
Have you ever written down something on your hand to insure you would remember it!?

The Fashion Legend on His Renegade Act of Artistic Reinvention
Iconic designer turned artist Helmut Lang shredded 20 years of fashion history for his latest exhibition, repurposing 6,000 garments from his eponymous label into a series of terrestrially textured, stalactite columns that stretch from floor to ceiling. On view at the Fireplace Project in East Hampton, Make it Hard comprises 16 sculptures that meld natural and synthetic fibers with plastics, metals, leathers, fur, feathers and even hair. "The fight against entropy and decay is always going to be a losing battle," says international curator Neville Wakefield. "So why not make of that destructive energy something new?" It should be noted that Lang's most adored designs were saved from the cut, when in 2009 and 2010 the designer
donated a large volume of his work to select fashion, design and contemporary art collections worldwide. A leading figure of 90s minimalism, the Austrian-born Lang has left a lasting mark on the industry. Following his brand's acquisition by the Prada Group six years ago, Lang relocated to a Long Island studio to focus on his artistic career. "In the autobiographical sense, the material of people's lives has always been the subject of their art," says Wakefield. "The only difference here is the level of identification and investment that the public has in that material." We asked Lang about his dramatic endeavor.
What inspired you to shred your archive?
With a little help of outside force in February 2010—after a fire in the building where our studio in New York is located, which could have destroyed the rest of the archive—and after going for months through the pieces to see in which condition they are, I slowly became intrigued by the idea of destroying it myself and using it as raw material for my art. It was a cathartic experience, which led to an interesting and positive energy.
Were you motivated by a desire to draw a line between yourself as an artist and designer?
I retired from fashion in 2005 and that was final for me. I feel fortunate I am able to work in art now and still contribute to the cultural landscape.
There is an organic feel to your artwork, which seems almost at odds with your fashion aesthetic, which felt very urban. Has your new lifestyle been an influence?
I feel that the new work is actually both, on the one hand very urban, but at the same time it has organic breaks within the structure. I do also think, in my work as a designer, I tried to contradict the contemporary with small defects and elements of reality, which can be considered organic. Anyway, it feels to me that either visible or not visible, I always consider both.
You were seen as having a very serious approach to fashion. Has art relaxed you?
I am always serious and I am always relaxed. Nothing has changed.
