The holiday season might not officially begin until next week, but most in the steel trading community say they feel like they've started their holiday breaks early.
"There is no business out there at all," one trader at the Port of Houston said. "You know you're in trouble when prices have come down as low as they have and there still isn't anybody out there to buy. I'd say it's just the typical seasonal slowdown, but it's been like this for a few months now. It's like we've been on vacation since August."

Crashes from the start. Unusable so far. What more can I say. A pity. Please sort it or a refund is required.

And looks fine. A way to remember the login from time to time would be good. And maybe a small bar at bottom. Or a different way of refresh and settings.. Maybe just a distinct overflow button with these option inside..

1.The stacks look is ruined by the ugly bar underneath it!! Please give the option to remove this 2. The holo theme is not actually a holo theme - it has a strange gradient which means it doesn't truly blend in with the ICS/JB UI 3. Crashes when I try to

NARRATOR: Does this look to you like a piece of abstract sculpture or like an odd sort of machine? In a way, it's both. The artist, Theodore Rozak, called it Bi-Polar in Red. Basically the work is made of two red cones; notice how the upper one is balancing upside down on the lower one. The cones may express the idea of bipolarity, which the artist wanted you to take in a very general way. He once said, "It's the same phenomenon as north pole vs. south pole, male vs. female, the bipolarity of magnetic fields in space."But what do you make of those whimsical bits of metal and plastic attached to the top cone? They don't really do anything yet—like props in a science-fiction movie, they pretend to be functional. In fact, Rozak was a fan of sci-fi films; he loved the Buck Roger series. When he created this sculpture in 1940, he was enthusiastic about industrial machinery and its promise of a sleek, streamlined future. A work of art, he felt, could embrace technology and evoke the future just like a real machine.

Recently, a mom found a dandelion growing out of her toddler's ear. And let's get real: That's crazy. But since the dawn of time, parents have been finding weird crap stuck inside their small children's ears, because, well, kids are idiots. Just kidding.
I conducted a little poll of my own to find out the strange objects moms and dads have pulled from their children's ears, and while the dandelion growth is hard to top, let's just say this: A live, fluttering moth is a close second.
Here are 9 crazy things parents have found in their children's ears.
Image via keith roper/Flickr
My oldest nephew stuck a bead up his nose when he was around 3 or so. He manged to get if so the hole was facing down so he could breath through it. It was up there for a day or 2 before he said his nose hurt. His parents had to take him to the doctors to get it out.
When I was little, I was eating popcorn one night and I got bored and stuck a popcorn seed in my ear to see how well it would fit. I started panicking because I couldn't get it back out and with each attempt it went farther in. I was too embarrassed to tell my parents so I just went to sleep. The next morning I tried and failed again to get it out. I figured then that it would just fall out on its own, so I completely forgot about it after that. A year later, I had incredible ear pain. My parents took me to the doctor, he noticed a blockage and said he would have to flush my ear. I didn't know why until he eventually pulled out the popcorn seed that I had completely forgotten about! It actually looked like a hard pea by then. Don't ask how because I don't know but it had started growing roots in my ear! That's why my ear hurt so bad! I had several ear infections a couple times a year for several years afterward in that ear, but I never stuck anything in my ear again. This entire experience has made me almost completely deaf in that ear because the popcorn seed and the subsequent ear infections damaged my ear drum.
WHen my nephew was little he kept failing hearing tests. Finaly after going to the doctor, he pulled an apple seed out of my nephew's ear.

(a) Time Limit for Application for Registration.— Protection under this chapter shall be lost if application for registration of the design is not made within 2 years after the date on which the design is first made public.

(c) Application by Owner of Design.— Application for registration may be made by the owner of the design.
(d) Contents of Application.— The application for registration shall be made to the Administrator and shall state—
(4) the date, if any, that the design was first made public, if such date was earlier than the date of the application;
The application for registration may include a description setting forth the salient features of the design, but the absence of such a description shall not prevent registration under this chapter.
(e) Sworn Statement.— The application for registration shall be accompanied by a statement under oath by the applicant or the applicant's duly authorized agent or representative, setting forth, to the best of the applicant's knowledge and belief—
(1) that the design is original and was created by the designer or designers named in the application;
(2) that the design has not previously been registered on behalf of the applicant or the applicant's predecessor in title; and

(1) Error in any statement or assertion as to the utility of the useful article named in the application under this section, the design of which is sought to be registered, shall not affect the protection secured under this chapter.
(g) Design Made in Scope of Employment.— In a case in which the design was made within the regular scope of the designer's employment and individual authorship of the design is difficult or impossible to ascribe and the application so states, the name and address of the employer for whom the design was made may be stated instead of that of the individual designer.
(h) Pictorial Representation of Design.— The application for registration shall be accompanied by two copies of a drawing or other pictorial representation of the useful article embodying the design, having one or more views, adequate to show the design, in a form and style suitable for reproduction, which shall be deemed a part of the application.
(i) Design in More Than One Useful Article.— If the distinguishing elements of a design are in substantially the same form in different useful articles, the design shall be protected as to all such useful articles when protected as to one of them, but not more than one registration shall be required for the design.

November 29 Reinventing the Enterprise: Mobile Wireless
The writing is on the wall for the emergence of mobile wireless computing, yet agencies tend to implement the technologies in a very piecemeal, reactive fashion, without enterprise wide policies and standards. Doing it this way increases costs and security risks. This story will be a look into the future at how mobile wireless technologies are going to permeate all facets of enterprise IT and how smart IT organizations can start preparing for that day now.

SPARTA (WKZO) -- Kent County Sheriff's Deputy Scott Abbatoy is recovering from a broken leg, but was able to arrest a 30-year-old man wanted in four counties at the same time.
Police received a call that the 30-year-old suspect was at a home in Sparta, but he fled as officers were on their way. Abbatoy noticed the vehicle the suspect used to try to get away, and after a foot chase, was able to apprehend him.
Just how the deputy broke his leg in the scuffle hasn't been revealed.

On the nose there is a treasure trove of seductive aromas - sweet summer plums, plump black cherries, hints of coffee/chocolate and exotic spice. The texture is firm, with fine-grained yet sinewy, supple tannin supporting and balancing the characteristic Ata Rangi opulence and rich, lingering flavours. Older vintages show truffles and violets and an earthy, hedonistic, gamey complexity. Well cellared, this wine will also reward as the more savoury nuances evolve and it will undoubtedly be even more beguiling, more alluring after 4 or 5 years.
"The wine has the fruitiness of a blue-foot mushroom, a dark and savory character to balance the clean line of black cherry flavour running through it. Spice tracks that cherry fruit, a third rail to electrify the woodsy earthiness of the wine. The flavours are long, attesting to Martinborough's talents with Pinot Noir." - Wine & Spirits, Feb 2005

The $5 Indoor Clothesline
And Why We Can't Live Without It
There's no denying that clotheslines are magical wonderful things that reduce our energy bills and leave our clothes smelling summer fresh each and every time we use them. So when we moved downtown from our house in the suburbs, the lack of a backyard had us down in the dumps about not being able to dry our clothes in the fashion we had become quite accustomed to.
After a notepads worth of scribbles, visions of complex systems of levers and pulleys, we finally came to a rather simple conclusion to make it happen. We are lucky enough to have wood posts in our loft to work with, but this would work just fine through drywall and into a stud on opposing walls.
Here's what you need:
In our space because our ceilings are high, we are able to double hang our clothes line. This allows us to dry two full loads of laundry at a time. If you don't have enough space to double hang, all you will need it 1 large screw eye hook instead of 3. Here's a ridiculously crude drawing of what our set up looks like.
We simply hook the carabiner onto an eye hook, thread the rope through the next two hooks and then finally wrap it around the cleat. The whole thing sets up in under a minute and comes down with the same speed.
Never again will we mess with drying racks which never seem to hold enough or truly seem to be wide enough to allow clothes to dry quickly. It's been a great addition and we dry everything except towels on our line now. Those we still head down to the dryer for a little bit of extra fluffing in the dryer!
Maybe you have space to put one in your bathroom? Maybe you have space for one across the top of your kitchen? Where ever it might be, there's ALWAYS room somewhere! We hang our clothes at night and take them down in the morning and unless you knew what you were looking at... you'd never know we have a clothesline ready to go up at a moments notice!

bungee cords.
THOSE are the best things since sliced bread!
Tube Socks!!!
That's similar to what I do on my back patio, except I have two clotheslines tied to one eye hook. Each line has a carabiner at each end which I attach to another eye hook at the other end. This way I can choose to use one or two clotheslines. I always hang my clothes to dry since I don't own a dryer. You don't really need one in Phoenix!
But... you can buy something that looks MUCH better than this makeshift setup for relatively little. Just for starters:
http://search.hardwarestore.com/?query=Retractable Clothesline&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=retractable%20clothesline&utm_campaign=rkg
I definitely love hang drying my clothing, but I've always done it for free by putting my clothing right on their hangers (plastic or wood only!) and hanging them over the shower rod. If I do it in the evening, they are dry by the time I wake up so my shower isn't tied up when I need to go through my morning routine. Not only that, they are already hung properly and all I have to do is move them from the shower rod to the closet.
I do this for socks and undies too! Each hanger holds two or three pairs of socks!
I have this, which seems much simpler and tidier looking than rope and carabiners. Granted, you'd need two to accomplish the same thing, so $20 instead of $5:
What's wrong with using a dryer? I just don't understand where some of these ideas are coming from. A clothesline in your home? One that you have to go to great lengths to set up? The need to build diagrams and become familiar with pulleys and lines. Really? All of that effort for what exactly? I say throw the clothes in the dryer with a softner sheet and call it a day. If there is some reason why going the dryer route is a bad idea, that's different, but still I couldn't imagine rigging up a clothesline.
@missbynski: Line-drying is usually gentler on your clothing than drying machines. It's also much, much more environmentally friendly.
^"Usually"? Try "almost always." Next time you dry a load of clothes in the dryer, examine the lint trap. All that lint is from your clothes gradually wearing away from being tossed around in a dryer.
I don't tumble-dry clothes unless it's too cold and damp for air-drying, and my clothes have never lasted so long or looked so good.
Hey guys, I just moved to a suburb of seattle. Tips for line drying here?
The walls in my laundry room are close enough together that I was able to put a shower curtain rod in there, so my clothes can go right from the washer to the rod. I also have a retractable clothesline outside.
I would use my dryer less if it weren't for the fact that air dried clothes, towels, etc. come out so stiff. I like the fluffy, comfortable feel from the dryer. Anyone who line dries regularly have any tips for making the former more comfy?
LakeDreamer, I often air-dry my clothes and then throw them in the dryer for 5 minutes to soften/fluff them up.
LakeDreamer- If you are religious about adding a bit of white vinegar to your wash loads it will help soften your clothes for line drying!
LakeDreamer - Tumble towels and sheets for a few (5-10?) minutes after washing and then hang up to finish drying. Makes a huge difference and the vinegar helps too and keeps things smelling fresh (don't worry - your towels won't smell like a salad)
missbynski - Dryers are a HUGE energy hog. All that heat that your dryer gives off is busy doing its little part to heat up the planet. Plus the expense of the energy. Plus it trashes your clothes.
Lizzykewl, you could try setting up a clothesline in your bathroom and then crank up a space heater, shut the door, and let it go for a little while (lights off). I've read that in Scandanavian countries they have special drying rooms for their clothes--few people own dryers there, but because it's so cold, clothes will take a long time to dry on their own.
Thanks for the tips. I use vinegar for all my cleaning, but didn't know about adding it to the wash. But how much?
missbynski- Not only is a line drying better for your clothes, but it's also more economical.
The dryer in my building is just too damn expensive for every single load. If I've got 4 loads to do, forget about it. Line dry most of it, and just dry the sheets and towels in the machine.
In Europe, there are so many ways to dry laundry without electricity. In Ireland, I saw racks on wheels so you can pull the laundry in quickly if it rains. In Amsterdam, they have nifty racks that hang from second-story windows. Someone in Montana is making ceiling-mounted indoor drying racks--my neighbors can't complain, haha. I thnk web address is: www.drynhigh.com
I live in Seattle, recently relocated from Florida, where my line-dry clothes would dry in less than an hour on my little back porch, or a couple of hours hanging from the shower rod. I hand wash tons of things, like sweaters and vintage dresses (or inexpensive dresses too - your target stuff stays so much nicer if you never put it in the dryer) and ten days later, thicker things were still damp. I still won't use a dryer, but will have to learn a new kind of clothing patience, like... guess I won't wear that wool pencil skirt this week.
So I've got a drying rack and a million coat hangers and I'd happily set up a drying line in my apartment-- but there's two problems I keep running into. I have beautiful 1950s hardwood floors (poor pitiful me, right?), and my kitchen and bathroom (linoleum) are microscopic. Where (or how) should I set up my drying rack? I've tried in the tub, so it can just drip into the drain but... my fancy-pants shower set-up drips onto it (not a leak, just water in the shower head line that likes to spurt out in bursts every few hours). My second problem is the dampness-- apparently I missed the part where the for-rent ad mentioned this place was a cave. I can hang my clothes for three days and they'll still be wet! (Not jeans and the like, I mean a t-shirt, or a pair of undies!) Any tips for hardwood floored cave dwellers?
This is great. I'm definitely heading home tonight to see where I could rig something like this up. I've been toying with the idea of an indoor clothesline for a while but gave up on it a few months ago and bought a cheap drying rack from target. Sadly this $14 drying rack did not hold its own against a winter of heavy sweaters and jeans in MN. It crashed and came to a splintery end last week. This post made my day. $5 that is so much better than a rickety, cheap drying rack.
Alysaaria, try buying a rug with a rubber backing (a big bathmat would work well) and hanging clothes to dry over that. The rug will absorb any drips and the rubber will keep it off the flooring. Maybe in the hallway?
We have similar problems drying here in our north facing basements apt in San Francisco. We finally figured out that moving the space heater under the clothes drying rack (the Antonius ceiling mount from Ikea-heart this one!) will not only warm the bedroom but also dry the clothes!
I live in England, where drying your clothes on a rack indoors is very common. We don't even have a dryer, and the weather is very often damp and rainy, so the clothes can't really go outside.
We usually run everything through the spin cycle twice, which helps a lot with removing extra water. We have several little racks that hook over the radiators or doors, a folding drying rack, and I set up a cheap collapsible clothes rail that lives next to another radiator. Most things dry in a day or two, depending on how heavy they are.
So, yes, the house is festooned with drying clothes on a regular basis, but we don't really have a choice. It's easy enough to fold up the racks and put them away if company is coming over.
Mandervince: I live in a small apartment near Seattle, Washington and air dry my clothes on two collapsible t-top ironing boards with the fabric covers removed; some laying flat, most draped over hangers hung around the board's perimeter. High surface/hanging area to floor space ratio. And I didn't need to buy anything I didn't already own. Working well over 2 years now and didn't need to modify the walls (rental).
Clothes coming out of a washer don't drip. For hand washables, roll them up in a towel for 5-15 minutes to blot before drying.
did this exact setup except i placed a turnbuckle at one end as a line tightener.
because mine is a permanent line up by the ceiling, only accessible by ladder, i'm going to go with a pulley system.
If you live in an apartment building, check out the basement for spaces where you can dry clothes. In my building, there are unused storage areas that are basically little corrals of chainlink fence. Perfect for hanging laundry over, and you can stick small things like socks in the holes.
I just hang it on plastic clothes hangars along the length of my bath tub. Since the washer does a fairly good job in squeezing most of the water, there is very little residual dripping. I usually wash once weekly and have ample room for clothes that I have. I only use the clothes dryer for towels and sheets.
here in Portugal the usual is to line-dry clothes (well, there isn't really an immediate translation to line-dry, it is assumed) almost every apartment in Lisbon has a clothing line on the outside, below the window, usually not in the main façade unless in old Lisbon ().
so I guess the resistance to line-dry is mostly cultural and, to a lesser extent, somewhat related to the weather.
Any tips on rigging a similar system in an apartment where you aren't allowed to screw anything into the wall?
I want to put an indoor rack between my huge door way that seperates living room from dining but there are no wooden beams just wall so what would be good like the above idea with the eye screw and rope I want it to be sturdy and I have enough space to make a double one also...help please, i have a huge one outside but its been raining like crazy and I hate dryers......

by Whitworth University Sports Information
SPOKANE, Wash. – The Whitworth University softball team used a five-run fifth inning to win the second game and split the series against Eastern Oregon in a nonconference matchup at Marks Field on Wednesday.
The Pirates improve to 19-7 overall, while the Mountaineers fall to 7-11 on the season.
Game 1 – Eastern Oregon 3, Whitworth 2
A pair of wild pitches allowed the Mountaineers to take an early 2-0 lead after the first at-bat, but Whitworth was able to cut the lead in a half in the bottom of the inning when junior Sacha Clow was walked with the bases loaded, allowing sophomore Megan John to put a run on the board for the Pirates.
Eastern Oregon added a run in the top of the third on an RBI double from Britnee Carman-Rice. The Pirates used their own RBI double from senior Julia Johnson to pull within a run in the bottom of the sixth, but Lindsey Walchli struck out the final two batters to keep the Mountaineers in the lead. The Pirates went down in order in the bottom of the seventh, giving Eastern Oregon a 3-2 win the opener.
Sacha Clow was 1-2 at the plate with a RBI. Freshman Shannon Wessel was walked twice and scored a run for the Pirates.
Junior Megan Fisher (0-1) took the loss, giving up two runs on one hit with one walk. Lindsey Walchli (6-7) earned the win, allowing one earned run on four hits with 11 strikeouts in seven innings of work.
Game 2 – Whitworth 5, Eastern Oregon 2
The Mountaineers took an early 1-0 lead after JoElla Smith sent a pitch over center field wall. The Pirates stranded runners in the bottom of the first, third and fourth innings, unable to turn any of the hits into runs.
The Pirates turned up the heat in the bottom of the fifth inning, however. After senior Makenzie Hope walked, Megan John's single and sophomore Alyssa Hall's bunt loaded the bases for Shannon Wessel. Wessel singled up the middle, scoring Hope and John to put the Pirates ahead on the scoreboard. Senior Julia Johnson followed Wessel with a three-run homer off the scoreboard to give Whitworth a 5-1 lead. The Mountaineers were able to plate one run in the top of the seventh, but the Pirates secured the final out of the game and clinched the 5-2 win.
Julia Johnson hit her sixth home run of the season, going 1-1 with three RBI and a run scored. Shannon Wessel was 2-3 at the plate with two RBI and Alyssa Hall was 2-4 with a run scored.
Freshman Madi Perez earned her 10th win in the circle, allowing one run on two hits with a strikeout in three innings of work. Lindsey Walchli (6-8) took the loss, allowing five runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts.
Whitworth hosts George Fox in a weekend doubleheader at Marks Field March 29-30. The first game is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

Cliff Haskell, a visionary firefighter who founded the Firefighters Burn Institute and led a successful drive to open a top burn treatment center in Sacramento, died Feb. 11 after a battle with lung cancer, his family said. He was 81.
Mr. Haskell was a Sacramento Fire Department captain in 1972 when a jet taking off from Sacramento Executive Airport crashed into a nearby Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour. The disaster killed 22 people and left about two dozen others with serious burns and other injuries.
Recognizing a need for specialized care for fire victims, he persuaded Sacramento Area Fire Fighters Local 522 to begin working to open a burn treatment center. He raised money to create the Firefighters Burn Institute in December 1973. Doctors and administrators at UC Davis Medical Center quickly agreed to the plan and opened the first regional burn center in January 1974.
Mr. Haskell devoted himself to helping fire victims on retiring in 1989 after 30 years as a firefighter. Under his leadership, the Firefighters Burn Institute known as the FFBI grew to provide funding for medical research and training for burn treatment professionals. The nonprofit agency also offers recovery programs for fire survivors and sponsors camps for young victims.
He supported fundraising by firefighters, including the popular "Fill the Boot" drive, which brought in $2 million for a bigger burn unit. Opened in 2010, the Firefighters Burn Institute Regional Burn Center serves patients at UC Davis Medical Center and Shriners Hospitals for Children Northern California as one of the leading treatment centers in the United States.
"None of this would have happened without Cliff," FFBI Executive Director Jim Doucette said. "It's very debatable whether there would have been a center without him."
Mr. Haskell also worked to keep firefighters safe. He was a member of the National Fire Protection Association, which promotes building codes and other measures to reduce fire dangers. He served on committees that develop standards for protective firefighting gear, including helmets, coats and bunker pants.
Born in 1931 in Los Angeles, Clifford Frederick Haskell as a boy moved with his family to Sacramento. He graduated from Sacramento High School in 1950 and served in the Coast Guard.
He lived in Sacramento and had two children with his wife of 57 years, Tillie. He belonged to the Optimist Club and the Elks, and often was greeted as "Coach" by former students of St. Robert Catholic School, where he coached sports teams for nine years. He was predeceased by his son, Bradley, in 2009.
A national figure in the burn support community, Mr. Haskell was honored for his work by the American Burn Association, the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors, and the International Association of Firefighters. The family waiting room at the UC Davis burn center is named for him and his wife.
"My dad was very humble," said his daughter, Deanne Castaneda. "He was a quiet man, but he saw there was a need to help people who were burned. So he did."
Born: July 21, 1931
Died: Feb. 11, 2013
Survived by: Wife, Tillie of Sacramento; daughter, Deanne Castaneda of Sacramento; sister, Shirley Rahn of Manhattan Beach; seven grandchildren; two great-grandchildren
Services: Viewing, 5 to 8 p.m. Monday at W.F. Gormley & Sons, 2015 Capitol Ave., Sacramento; celebration of life, 1 p.m. Tuesday at Elks Lodge No. 6, 6446 Riverside Blvd., Sacramento
Remembrances: Donations in memory of Mr. Haskell may be made to the Firefighters Burn Institute, 3101 Stockton Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95820

BANGKOK (AP) -- Asian stock markets fell Thursday as weaker-than-expected orders for U.S. durable goods, falling commodities prices and signs of slower economic growth in Britain kept investors at bay.
Benchmark oil remained below $106 per barrel while the dollar was steady against the euro and lower against the yen.
Disappointment stemmed from data released Wednesday by the U.S. Commerce Department that showed orders for durable goods rose 2.2 percent in February. While that compared favorably to a steep drop in January, analysts had expected orders to increase 2.7 percent.
"U.S. economic data shows weakness in the economic recovery. That really confirms what the Fed Chairman, Bernanke, said last week that the Federal Reserve has to continue loose monetary policy in order to aid economic recovery and employment," said Francis Lun, managing director of Lyncean Holdings in Hong Kong.
Investors are also concerned about recent signs of a slowdown in China. China is a huge importer of raw materials, so a slowing economy there can weigh on prices for raw materials.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index retreated for a second day after reaching a one-year high, falling 0.7 percent to 10,112.58.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng tumbled 1.2 percent to 20,634.33 and South Korea's Kospi dropped 0.9 percent to 2,012.98.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 dipped 0.1 percent to 4,338.10. Benchmarks in Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia and mainland China also fell.
The prospect of slowing growth from the world's two biggest economies pummeled industrial, energy and materials stocks.
Hong Kong-listed Aluminum Corp. of China shed 1.9 percent. CNOOC Ltd., China's main offshore oil and gas producer, tumbled 3 percent despite reporting that its 2011 profit rose 29.1 percent on higher oil and gas sales. Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., South Korea's leading shipbuilder, fell 3.6 percent.
Leighton Holdings plummeted 7.3 percent in Sydney after the Australian construction company cut its full year profit forecast because of losses in several major infrastructure projects.
Analysts said investors are also holding back as they await news later this week on Europe's progress in resolving its debt crisis and also weekly jobless claims in the U.S. later Thursday.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed Wednesday down 0.5 percent at 13,126.21. The Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 0.5 percent to 1,405.54. The Nasdaq composite index fell 0.5 percent, to 3,104.96.
Benchmark crude oil was down 7 cents to $105.34 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.92 to end at $105.41 per barrel on the Nymex on Wednesday. Oil prices declined after France's government said it is considering a release of emergency stockpiles as part of a U.S.-led effort to ease the recent climb in prices.
In currencies, the euro was unchanged from $1.3324 late Wednesday in New York. The dollar fell to 82.71 yen from 82.79 yen.

A tough question Ben Bernanke should answer
With last week's downgrade of the outlook for US debt, it's time the Fed came clean about interest rates and Treasury bond buying.
The clock is ticking on "Bubbles" Bernanke. Come June 30, his latest quantitative easing program (QE2) is scheduled to end. The big question on everyone's mind is: what happens next?
Surely such big-picture ideas will be discussed tomorrow at the central bank's first-ever press conference. But the bottom line is that the reckless behavior of the Federal Reserve demands closer scrutiny -- and harder questions.
Here is one I want a straight answer to: "Chairman Bernanke, what would you do if, one of these days, the Chinese placed a $100 billion order to sell their U.S. Treasury bonds?"
It's time to figure this out. First, the Fed stuffed its balance sheet with more than $1 trillion of dodgy mortgages purchased with money created out of thin air. Then last November, Bernanke's crew voted to buy another $600 billion of Treasury paper. This massive money printing has undermined global confidence in the dollar's purchasing power.

Last week, Standard and Poor's announced it was downgrading the outlook for U.S. debt, saying "In 2003-2008, the U.S.'s general (total) government deficit fluctuated between 2% and 5% of GDP. Already noticeably larger than that of most 'AAA' rated sovereigns, it ballooned to more than 11% in 2009 and has yet to recover." China's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hong Lei responded, "We hope the US. government will earnestly adopt responsible policy measures to protect the interest of investors."
Let's face right up to that big issue that S&P has called to our attention: The U.S. government's spending has gotten wildly out of control, and something really needs to be done about it. S&P says an agreement between the Republican and Democratic Parties in Congress and the White House needs to be reached by 2013. If not, S&P says there's a 1 in 3 chance that they will have to lower the debt rating of the United States government.
The Fed is sitting on a powder keg. At some point, it will be necessary to restore a semblance of balance between savers and borrowers. When interest rates begin to tick up, the rush to buy anything and everything could turn into a universal urge to sell. The Chinese are already complaining about the meager rewards of Treasuries.
What would happen if they decided to dump just 10% of their $1.15 trillion position in U.S. debt? How is the Fed going to deal with such an outcome?

Blaine wrestlers end Mt. Baker's nine-year run
wrestlers lost a dual meet to Mt. Baker 76-0 two seasons
ago, losing every match, and lost last year twice, 58-18
and 45-19.
But with clutch performances by Tyson Foster, Derik Stremler and Shane Hicks, and first-round pins from the three senior co-captains Calvin Moore, Nick Jordan and Blayne Brandenburger, Blaine finally defeated Mt. Baker 41-25 in a dual meet last Wednesday to hand the Mountaineers their first dual meet loss in 61 matches going back to the 1995-96 season. The victory was decisive, and cheered on by a much larger crowd than normally is present.
Blaine was the last school to defeat Mt. Baker before the victory string began. Baker coach Larry Lepper, a close friend of Blaine's Craig Foster, named wrestling coach of the year last season, put together a string of nine league dual meet titles, nine regional championships and 10 district championships. Prior to that, Blaine had owned or shared in the league championship for 19 straight years.
Blaine knew it had a chance to win but the atmosphere was tense and focused going in. Following some preliminary JV action, including four exhibition matches between members of Mt. Baker's girls' wrestling team, Blaine freshman Jacob Humphrey won at 103 pounds by default over Mt. Baker's competent senior J.J. Chilcote, left behind since he hadn't attended school that day. Baker sophomore Dawson Patrick then pinned Blaine sophomore Mike Petronella with 53.3 seconds left in the second period to tie the score 6-6.
a dual wrestling meet, three team points are awarded
for a decision, four are awarded for a decision where
the winner outscores his opponent by eight or more points,
five team points are awarded when the difference is 15
or more and six are awarded for either a pin or a forfeit.
The next Blaine wrestler was the head coach's son, freshman Tyson Foster (119). He scored two points early on a take-down but lost his experienced opponent, senior David McCracken, who scored on an escape.
In the second period McCracken scored four quick points as the wrestlers struggled more or less evenly, McCracken's experience showing in his ability to score on the younger Foster. With the score 6-2 in McCracken's favor, Foster got a two-point reversal to narrow the gap to 6-4. In the third period Foster came out like he'd had a two-hour nap, refreshed and loaded for bear, and put five more unanswered points on the board to carry the match 9-6.
The decisive win "was the best feeling of my life!" Foster later exclaimed, finally old enough to wrestle on his dad's varsity team and coming through big time to set the tone for the evening.
Mike Broyan (125) majored Baker sophomore Tommy Williamson to put Blaine up 13-6, and then Baker's Colten Steagull (130) majored Blaine's gutty senior Sam Abrams to cut Blaine's lead to 13-10. Jesse Kilthau (135) then came out and basically mopped up the mat with Baker's Eli Jacoby, majoring him 13-3 for a 17-10 Blaine lead.
Enter Calvin Moore (140), who traded weight classes with Derik Stremler (145). Moore walked out and flattened his opponent, Pat Olcott, with a 40-second pin to make the score Blaine 23, Baker 10. Stremler took on Baker sophomore Ben Lavergne and wrestled him evenly for most of the tough match. After a scoreless first period Stremler put together a 2-1 lead in the second, and with less than two seconds left in the third managed a one point escape to take the match 4-3 and a 26-10 Blaine lead.
Baker's Kyle Brown (1252) then ended the Baker scoring drought with a come-from-behind 12-7 win over Blaine's John Brady, who lead 5-4 at the end of two on the strength of a two-point escape with less than five seconds left. Team scores now stood at Blaine 26, Baker 13.
Co-captain Nick Jordan (160) was next, introducing Baker freshman Matt Cronk to varsity level competition with a first period pin with 45.2 seconds left. "This is great," said Jordan, who suffered through some of Blaine's darkest athletic moments in reaching this goal, "to be so focused, so confident."
Blaine sophomore Shane Hicks, the toughest 171 pounds in the room, then squared off with Baker senior Alex Sigmon in a match that Baker had to win to keep their hopes of winning the meet alive. The two circled each other warily, and with 20 seconds left in the first Hicks scored two points. At the end of two the score stood at 5-2 in favor of Hicks, and in the third Sigmon scored a one point escape to narrow the lead to two. At the end of the period Hicks received a one-point penalty for clasping his hands together (all that's allowed is a so-called "Indian Grip"), but he held on to score a one point victory, 5-4, and clinch the dual meet for Blaine.
Baker's Scott Johnson (189) pinned Blaine's Niko Rehon to narrow the team score to 35-19, but Blayne Brandenburger (215), wrestling up one class, pinned Baker's Zach Gorne in the first period for a 41-19 Blaine lead. Heavyweight Evan Smit of Baker, probably their best wrestler, pinned Blaine sophomore Cody Dobbs for a final meet score of 41-25.

PHOENIX (AP) - The Arizona House of Representatives has passed a bill that prohibits the use of welfare benefits at liquor, gambling and adult entertainment businesses.
The GOP-led House unanimously passed the bill Tuesday without debate.
Welfare recipients are issued their benefits via Electronic Benefit Transfer, or EBT, cards. They can be used like debit cards to buy things or to withdraw cash from ATMs. House Bill 2205 says the cards can't be used at certain adult orientated businesses.
Under the proposed law, the cards can still be used at grocery stores located in the same building as a casino.
The Senate passed the bill in a 26-1 vote in April.
Arizona is among a growing number of states that are blocking welfare recipients from spending their benefits on booze, gambling and strippers.

A slight case of mistaken identity...
Now, a few things have changed while you've been away. For instance, there's a perfect stranger--well, maybe not perfect, but pretty darn close--sleeping in your bed. But there's a good explanation for that. You see, everybody thinks you're dead....
Well, somebody with your name was murdered, and it looks as if whoever did it means to finish the job. And if you and T. J. Swift--the drop-dead-gorgeous guy you've suddenly found yourself living with--don't get to the bottom of this mystery, it could be too late for you both.
And that would be a real shame--because your brand-new "roommate" is sexy enough to give any woman a reason to live....

[on overly intellectual language and being bullied/harassed for nerdiness] »
I find that opposition to overly academic language in the name of accessibility can easily cross the line into rote anti-intellectualism. which is…maybe not in itself the worst thing ever. like, many big ol' nerds really need to get over the high school persecution complex thing. having been an outsider in the past doesn't divest you of institutional privilege now.
having said that, bullying on the basis of nerdiness is a pretty common experience that can be quite traumatic, and can also be tied to broader social oppression. I was pretty mercilessly bullied in primary school for being extremely bookish. the equivalently nerdy boy wasn't bullied, he was even kind of cool for knowing so much about dinosaurs. (the bullying was also highly sexualised, but nobody ever talks about sexual harassment between young children. probs because even radical people still have this idea that sexual harassment is about horny blokes not knowing the line, rather than a learned strategy of intimidation independent of the sexual inclination or maturity of the harasser.) I met the ringleader again as an older teenager and I expected him to not remember, or to apologise, or to downplay it. instead he said "oh, sorry, but I mean, you always had your nose in a book, what did you expect?" I was floored.
I'm not surprised by this kind of thing anymore. there have been any number of boys/men since him who have tried to shut me down by mocking my style of expression, some of whom have since admitted that they felt threatened by me. so I'll admit this whole thing is a sore spot for me. especially when it's men who take serious issue with my speaking/writing style, which it almost always is for some reason. but at the same time I have to be three times as confident and linguistically competent as the dudes in my classes to get taken half as seriously, so I'm in a bit of a double bind here. triple bind if I actually care about people other than myself, because sometimes I end up intimidating or silencing people who are actually marginalised re: speech, language. which is everybody, I guess, sooner or later. these things are complicated, who knew!
Gauche Sinister ("on nationality, class and linguistic privilege") also makes some good points about English language and migrant experiences. to summarise: it takes skill and effort to learn a second language, and if you're not white and Anglo there are severe penalties for less than perfect English, so it's not fair to dismiss high skill with English as grounded in privilege — it's often grounded in necessity. this was obviously not my experience but it is a lot of people's experience. I also think Gauche is spot-on with eir observation that slang is rarely if ever subjected to the same amount of scrutiny as academic language re: accessibility.
moving on. I've known people to insist that everything written in the humanities needs to be immediately accessible to anyone fluent in the language it's written in, or it's worthless, bad politics. there are a lot of spheres of knowledge that I think need to be [more actively] democratised. medicine; botany; computer programming; veterinary science; economics; everything, really, these are just some of the most crucial, the ones that spring immediately to mind. but most of the time people aren't actively decrying, say, the existence of complicated or jargonistic computer science terms. they exist for a reason, for precision's sake, for brevity's sake. people aren't saying "don't say megabyte, that's jargon". it would take way more time to break the term "megabyte" down into non-technical jargon. "you know, a million bytes, a byte is eight bits, a bit is one binary digit, I guess, basically. binary? oh geez." I think there's a lot of hating on the humanities going on in these critiques of "pretentious" language. it's pretty right-wing, actually: grounded in the idea that social reality is just commonsense, that it doesn't need to examined or unpacked. I also wanna note that the fields that tend to come in for the most criticism (sociology, literary criticism) are heavily dominated by women. in my experience philosophy — which is very male-dominated — gets a lot more respect. Especially if it's not socially-engaged philosophy — pure metaphysics, formal logic and the like.
words are tools, among other things. you can use simple tools to make more complicated tools. then you can use the more complicated tools to make other things, things you couldn't make with the simple tools alone. complicated tools, words, concepts are not immoral and not necessarily inaccessible. but they take work. I would argue for a politics of accessibility that's based on opening up this kind of discourse to people, not just on simplifying it.
I get the opposition to theory for the sake of theory. I really, really do. I have very little patience for people who don't care at all about the accessibility of their work. but I have also gained a lot from conversations and reading that asked me to do some work beforehand. I think other people have probably benefited from my more sophisticated understanding, too. it's not the only worthwhile thing but it's one worthwhile thing.

Philosophy is supposed to be difficult @ the guardian
this judith butler article, "A 'Bad Writer' Bites Back"
I find the whole idea around being bullied for being nerdy rather…interesting? quaint? unusual? because growing up in Malaysia you were expected to be bookish, smart, nerdy. Those were the kids that got the top class, the most respect, the most privilege. The kids who didn't do as well got fuck-all, and if you were a "smart kid" who rejected the favoured Science pathway to do Arts or Humanities (like me) you were even more vilified, though tides seem to be turning on that front THANK GOODNESS.
It could be a school-by-school thing - our school was hardcore in grades to the point that we were all dehumanised and reduced to test scores. Also there weren't really that many people who read or learnt or did nerdy things for the hell of it - it was all cramming for exams 24/7. Hobbies weren't really encouraged; you were meant to dedicate your life to study.
I'm one of those people who does think a lot of academia is being dense and obtuse for no good reason other than to be dense and obtuse. It's one of my biggest bugbears and the big reason I have not seriously considered further university study (even though opportunities have come up) - because here you're rewarded for piling on as many vaguely-connected references as possible, people get good scores for overthinking the word "The" in a guide on nonfiction writing and claiming it a symbol of supremacy (no, seriously), and writing in a way that comes naturally to you isn't welcome.
What if I don't want to couch my words in academic jargon? What if I don't really parse what overly-academic articles are saying? What if my work is better served by a partly grassroots style of communication?
Someone in one of these reblogs mentioned that the "you're too intellectual!" insult tends to be levied at racial and sexual minorities because they're trying to sound too uppity. I've noticed though that the opposite - placing a premium over language over anything else - has been used to alienate minorities too. I was friends with a group of girls, all of us foreign, all through uni, and so many times they'd have trouble understanding some concept or another. (I ended up being "translator"). They would have really sound, interesting, exciting arguments, but because they were a word off or what made sense to them in their native languages didn't translate as neatly into Engilsh they'd lose points, especially under someone who doesn't really have a coherant argument but can fake it through buzzwords.

what is the difference between Patriotism and Terrorism ?
I guess depends on which side you are fighting for or against, you may be called a patriot or a terrorist. so as a global community, we need to address this as a fundamental question, and then and only then we can expect sustainable peace.

Oct 4 2013: Very good question Deepak !
Both are synonyms. Patriot and Terrorist is same person, having same fear of insecurities and want to save religion or country from other religion or country. This fear comes out passionately and same person becomes aggressive. Now they starts spreading terror to save ourselves (not as an individual but as a nation or religion). A snake may be considered as a terrorist, but truth is snake sting only when its afraid and feel insecure from other,, thus fight begins. Same thing happens to a terrorist or patriot.
Instead of suppressing their fears, or neglecting them,, there should be an healthy talk between a community (patriot/nation) and other community ( terrorist/nation), may involve third community for a fair deal. So that they can find out the reason behind insecurities from each other, to overcome this and sustainable peace.

Attention ladies: Richmond is a magnet for rich, sexually active men.
A new poll ranks Richmond as the 9th most promiscuous city, when it comes to wealthy men. That puts the River City one spot above Hartford, CT and just behind Hoboken, NJ.
SeekingArrangement.com, which claims to be the world's largest Sugar Daddy dating website, conducted the poll. It asked 5,000 of its male members to name the top 10 cities where rich men are getting the most action. Roughly 55 percent of Richmond's sugar daddies have more than seven sexual partners, the poll claims.
New York City and San Francisco are two of the least promiscuous cities, with less than 15 percent.
