Since our launch in February, we've mind mapped, bioblitzed, and grown in size. Six months later, it's time to ramp up and bring even more nerds and nature together!
Come meet our project teams — DIY air monitoring sensors, smartphone-powered bioblitzes, workshops, the California Water Atlas, and more. Got another idea? Create your own team!
We'll feature "speed dating" project tables and open the floor for new collaborations. The next six months (and longer!) will be about even greater openness, creative action, and awesome events. Join us to launch this next phase.
We're excited to share and to hear from everyone curious about all that nature nerding can become. We'll also feature raffle prizes and t-shirts for sale to raise funds for future events.
Location: TechLiminal, 555 12th Street, Suite 110
Time: 7pm-9pm / doors open at 6:30pm
Food: Light appetizers and beverages served
Featured Projects!
BIOBLITZ // mob a park, map biodiversity

Real science! Real fun!
May 11, 2013, noon to 5 pm
Nerds For Nature is bioblitzing! And we need your help.
Join us on May 11 as we nerd out with biologists, botanists, and lepidopterists to observe and record the biodiversity of the Bay Area, starting with our kickoff event on May 11 in McLaren Park, San Francisco.
Start time: 12 pm sharp (brief orientation and iNaturalist training session.)
End time: 5 pm
BONUS: Evening moth ID session with renowned moth expert Jerry Powell (he wrote the book on western moths)
What we'll do
Nature Nerds, scientists, and amateur naturalists will work together to find and identify as many different species as possible within McLaren Park – everything from ants to redwood trees (called a 'bioblitz'). We'll break the park up into zones and even encourage some friendly zone-to-zone competition. Bring yourself or a group of friends! We have 300 acres to explore.
We'll use iNaturalist, a smartphone app, to record and photograph what we see. Check out iNat's place page to get a sense of all the cool stuff we might see! And we'll build on this list too!
Sign up at mclarenblitz.eventbrite.com
If you have a smartphone, we also recommend signing up for an iNaturalist account ahead of time. The morning orientation will review how to use the tool.

Bank of America Corp. (BAC:US) was sued by a former employee who alleged the bank segregates black workers in an "apartheid" system that creates a "vast inequality" in business development, compensation and advancement.
Jack Mitchell, who is black, filed the lawsuit today in federal court in New York. He was employed as a "premier client manager" from February 2007 to July 2008, working with high net-worth customers, and was fired for speaking out against what he described as a "discriminatory system," according to the complaint.
"The bank's apartheid system of business allocation created a vast inequality in business development and career growth opportunities between the bank's African American and white employees," Mitchell alleged in the complaint. He is seeking at least $10 million in damages.
Bank of America paired managers with financial advisers in teams, with compensation based on the value of assets in each team's portfolio, Mitchell said. The bank "segregated" black workers by assigning them to work at branches in low-income and minority areas, he said. Mitchell claims all of the members of his team were black and he was denied repeated requests to transfer to other branches.
The refusals were "based on the bank's racist belief that its white clients and/or white prospective clients would not wish to do business with the bank's small number of African American employees," Christopher Brennan, Mitchell's lawyer, alleged in the complaint.
Bill Halldin, a spokesman for Charlotte, North Carolina- based Bank of America, said the bank had just received the complaint and declined to comment on it specifically.
'Core Values'
"Diversity and inclusion are part of Bank of America's culture and core values," Halldin said in a statement. "We actively promote an environment where all associates have the opportunity to achieve personal success and can contribute to the growth in our business."
In a separate suit filed today in federal court in New York, Cantor Fitzgerald LP was sued by Jermaine James, a former employee its equity department who is black. James, who said he was employed at Cantor Fitzgerald from October 2004 to July 2008, alleged he was the victim of wrongful discharge and employment discrimination based on his race.
James claimed that white coworkers subjected him to "pervasive" harassment, including emitting "monkey noises" and uttering racial slurs in his presence at boardroom meetings.
Fire Alarm
When a fire alarm went off in the building, another employee suggested it was triggered by "too many blacks" congregating in the area, James said.
When James complained, a superior told him that he "needed to be around his own people," according to the complaint. James said he was fired even after becoming the highest-grossing salesman at a minority-owned brokerage unit of Cantor's.
Cantor doesn't comment on litigation, Sheryl Lee, a spokeswoman for the New York-based company, said in an e-mail.
The cases are Mitchell v. Bank of America NA, 12-CV-5593, and James v. Cantor Fitzgerald LP, 12-CV-5374, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

This Disruptive Start-Up May Trash Your Thesis
Daniel is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Warren Buffett is well known for avoiding technology investments. Though it could be argued that there are a few exceptions in the Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) portfolio, it's mostly made up of boring businesses that change very little over the years.
This, of course, is part of Buffett's strategy. Buffett once said, "we see change as the enemy of investments ... so we look for the absence of change. We don't like to lose money. Capitalism is pretty brutal. We look for mundane products that everyone needs."
The scenario I'm about to describe is the perfect example of why I think Buffett avoids fast-changing industries.
How Can You Compete With Free?
I recently outlined what I thought was a bullish case for Rosetta Stone (NYSE: RST). My thesis revolved around a very cheap stock combined with a powerful catalyst set to manifest itself in the near future.
The catalyst? The company's Online Learners, or individuals who use Rosetta Stone's online platform, have increased 167% year-over-year, to 57,000. This is clearly a favorable development for shareholders. Online Learners save the company two major expenses: (1) retail and (2) packaging and shipping.
In the company's most recent earnings call, management even went out of its way to explain that these numbers were not supported by "meaningful marketing spend." Rosetta Stone's prepared remarks for its FQ3 earnings call go on to say that, "As we go into 4Q and 2013 and begin to put our marketing muscle behind the online offerings, we think there exists significant opportunity to further penetrate the market and speak to those customers that prefer an online duration-based service."
Outstanding, right? I'm not so sure anymore.
A few days ago my wife showed me an App called Duolingo. She said she discovered the App through Tim Ferriss' blog. Then she showed me an article citing a study that showed Duolingo users only take 34 hours to learn a first college semester's worth of Spanish. Rosetta Stone users, on the other hand, took between 55 and 60 hours.
But she didn't stop there: "It's free."
I insisted that there must be a catch. So I did some research. There is no catch. In fact, not only is the service free, but it is a profitable business model too. As learners progress through the programs, they are literally translating the internet. In a sense, learners are Duolingo employees working for free.
The backers? The company recently launched a new $15 million funding round. Early backers include Ashton Kutcher, Tim Ferriss, and Union Square Ventures.
Talk about a disruptive company – my whole Rosetta Stone thesis just went out the window.
Avoiding Disruption
Scenarios like this are a blunt reminder that maybe Buffett really knows what he is talking about. After all, the "Oracle of Omaha" is the world's greatest investor.
If fast-changing industries keep you up at night, here is an alternative strategy to finding slow-changing businesses with great investment prospects: coattail investing
As defined by Investopedia, coattail investing is an "investment strategy in which investors mimic the trades of well-known and historically successful investors."
One way to do this is to take a look at what the value investing greats are investing in, particularly Warren Buffett.
In Berkshire's Sept. 30, 13-F SEC filing, the company revealed that it added 16.7 million shares to its Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) position. Berkshire's 7.8% stake in Wells Fargo now amounts to $13.96 billion. Wells Fargo has mostly outperform ratings by The Motley Fool Caps community, the all-star players, and Wall Street analysts.
Plus, the stock currently has a nice 2.86% dividend yield. Arguably the most stable publicly traded bank, the dividend is highly reliable. Though there is only 11% upside to the consensus price target of $39.90, the bank's limited downside makes the stock a great investment.
The Bottom Line
Watch out for disruption. If it bothers you too much, stay far away from fast-changing industries. One way to do this is to keep an eye on what the great value investors, like Warren Buffett, are investing in. With Berkshire's recent addition to its second largest holding, Wells Fargo, the bank could make a good bet for investors looking to minimize risk.
On that note, I'll go ahead and make an outperform CAPS call on Wells Fargo right now.

Luck, the #1 overall pick of the 2012 draft, was 18-of-23 for 178 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in his season debut, a 21-17 win over the Oakland Raiders. Luck also rushed six times for 38 yards and another touchdown. However, Luck was sacked four times in the game.
The Colts will host the Miami Dolphins at 1:00 pm EST Sunday.

DIY Plush Tufted Headboard
Classy Clutter
Mallory was visiting Arizona when she and her blog partner Savannah undertook this DIY headboard project. With a toddler who needed to move from a crib to a more grown up bed, Savannah was delighted to find a shapely vintage twin bed at a local thrift store. She had already planned to create a tufted headboard, a project just perfect for the soft curves of her secondhand bed.
Savannah and Mallory traced the headboard onto butcher paper to create a template to help them plan out the placement of their buttons. That template and tufting plan were then traced onto 2" upholstery foam before the same paper template was used to mark the holes for drilling into the wooden headboard. They painted the bed, and covered all the buttons for the tufting while it dried. Mallory recommends tufting before you staple the fabric to the base in order to keep the tufts from looking too tight; she used clamps to hold the fabric in place while tufting.
After the tufting was finished, the pair stapled the fabric into place and trimmed off the excess. The final step was making and attaching piping to cover the raw edges and to provide a perfect finish. The end result is a bright and happy addition to the room Savannah created for her young daughter. For those who want to undertake a similar project, Mallory provides detailed photos and instructions on her blog.

Really nice -- I like the plain fabric with the multi-color fabric buttons -- refreshing!
Another way to do this would be to use thin luan or masonite, use the paper template to cut that shape, attach and tuft the foam and fabric the same way, then stretch the fabric to the back and attach the whole thing to the main headboard. The wrapped edges would already be tidy and the piping optional.
I love it!!!
I hope they used good strong wire to attach those buttons, and not just thread. I get a little queasy thinking about arraying a toddler's headboard with swallowable-size buttons in candy-colored fabric. The child will be lying there with nothing to do but pluck at those buttons ...
This is a poor job.

The loud, balding, obnoxious guy that's always in front of you any place you have to wait in line: the bank, the checkout counter, McDonald's. Always has his cheesy '80s sunglasses tucked into the back of his tank top(the same tank that advertises bad beer or says "Don't Ask Me 4 Shit"), the tank that is straining at his beer belly or Hungry Man-induced same. Never wears deodorant. The guy who always passes the waiting time making comments that are corny or flat-out stupid, but for some reason, crack his shit up. All the while, he's trying in vain to suck in his stomach, and trying to flirt with the 16-year old help. Eeewww.

TUESDAY, Nov. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Certain vitamin deficiencies
may lead to decreased lung function in people with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), which includes emphysema and
chronic bronchitis, says a new study.
For the study, 20 COPD patients (13 women, seven men) completed
a questionnaire to assess their dietary intake of vitamins A, C, D,
E and selenium, all of which contain cell-protecting antioxidants.
A diet low in antioxidants -- as compared to national dietary
intake requirements -- was common among the patients.
The percentages of deficiencies were: 25 percent (selenium), 45
percent (vitamin C), 90 percent (vitamin E), 55 percent (vitamin
A), and 70 percent (vitamin D).
The researchers then measured the maximum amount of air the
patients could exhale with force. All the patients with a
selenium-deficient diet had decreased lung function. Among patients
deficient in vitamins C, A, and D, only men had decreased lung
The study was to be presented Tuesday at the annual meeting of
the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) in Vancouver,
"Our study, along with other research, suggests that strategies for dietary modification and supplementation should be considered in patients with COPD," Dr. M. Salman Khan of Akron City Hospital, Ohio, said in an ACCP news release.
"Further studies are needed to clarify the role gender has on the loss of lung function in COPD and the impact of antioxidant nutrient intake," Khan said.
Khan added that antioxidants might also benefit people with
severe asthma.
"We would guess that the role of antioxidant nutrients in a well-controlled asthma patient would be less than that seen in patients with COPD," Khan said. "However, in patients with severe asthma with poorly controlled symptoms and frequent, recurring exacerbations, antioxidant nutrient intake may indeed play an important role in the preservation of lung function."
COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in America, with
119,000 deaths annually, according to the ACCP.

The Fair Winds Charter: How Shipping Companies Collaborated For Cleaner Air in Hong Kong
In 2010, 17 shipping companies signed the Fair Winds Charter and committed to switching to cleaner fuel when berthing in the Hong Kong harbor. According to Hong Kong's Environmental Protection Department, there has been a significant drop in at-berth sulphur dioxide emissions and particulate matter for the past three years, resulting in cleaner air in the area surrounding one of the world's largest ports. →

Value investing is more than an investment strategy — it's a fundamental way of thinking about finance. The Heilbrunn Center for Graham & Dodd Investing was established in 2001 to ensure a permanent home for value investing at the Columbia Business School, the birthplace of the value approach. Today the Heilbrunn Center is helping educate a new generation of value investors.
The mission of the Heilbrunn Center for Graham & Dodd Investing is to promote the study and practice of Graham & Dodd's original investing principles; to improve investing with world-class education, research, and practitioner-academic dialogue; and to further Columbia Business School's role as the leading resource for investment management professionals.
Annual Letter
In 2013-14, the Heilbrunn Center for Graham and Dodd Investing will continue to lead all business schools in value investing course offerings. We'll promote courses, events, and educational materials that emphasize a value discipline across investment strategies. This year, the Center will also pay specific tribute to behavorial finance, a key pillar of the value philosophy, through coursework, bespoke lectures, and dedicated events.
To begin this year, we would like to thank our faculty members for their incredible work and tremendous dedication to the students and the Center. We also want to welcome new faculty member, Munib Islam (Third Point LLC), who will be teaching a bidding section of Applied Value Investing in the Fall 2013 semester. This fall, we are also welcoming back Ethan Binder '06 (Slate Path Capital) and Jeff Cino '06 (PIMCO) from sabbatical. They will resume teaching Mental Models.
Center Support
The Center would like to acknowledge the outstanding leadership of our executive advisory board. Additionally, the Center would like to thank our generous supporters. Last year alumni and friends of the Center contributed over $410,000.
Professor of Practice
The Center welcomes Jean-Marie Eveillard as the inaugural Professor of Practice. Jean-Marie is a graduate of Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commercials, an esteemed French graduate school of business studies. He started his career in 1962 with Societe Generale until relocating to the United States in 1968. Two years later, Eveillard began as an analyst with the SoGen International Fund. In 1979, he was appointed as the portfolio manager of the Fund, later named the First Eagle Global Fund. He then went on to manage the First Eagle Overseas and First Eagle Gold Funds at their inception in 1993.
Having managed the funds for 30 years, Eveillard is now senior adviser and a member of the Board of Trustees to First Eagle Funds. He is also senior vice president of First Eagle Investment Management LLC. Eveillard was Morningstar's International Manager of the Year in 2001, and in 2003 received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Morningstar for building one of the most successful long-term records in the investment business. As the Professor of Practice, Eveillard will support further efforts to bridge the investment management industry and industry affiliates to the Heilbrunn Center through teaching, advising, and networking.
Behavioral Finance
"Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with the 130 IQ...what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing." - Warren Buffett
Throughout the 2013-14 academic year, the Center will highlight behavorial finance as a key pillar of the value philosophy. There will be a dedicated behavorial finance panel at the 17th Annual Columbia Student Investment Management Association Conference on Friday, February 7. Additionally, Professor Tano Santos will feature a behavorial finance segment in his first-ever EMBA block-week course, Value Investing, in December. And throughout the semester, through his teaching and mentoring, Eveillard, the Professor of Practice, will provide insights into how biases impact investment managers every day.
Women and Value Investing
For the third year in a row, the Heilbrunn Center, in conjunction with Capital Group, will select a team of women to represent Columbia Business School at the annual Women in Investing Conference. The conference will be held in Boston from November 21-22. To be selected, newcomers will pitch senior investors at Capital Group. They'll get advice from experienced team members from years past.
This year, the Heilbrunn Center will be working with Barnard (and Columbia) College's Smart Women Securities' Club. Smart Women Securities (SWS), founded in part by Tracey Britt of Berkshire Hathaway, is a non-profit organization that provides investment education, through seminars and mentoring, to undergraduate women. As part of the collaboration, women in the Value Investing Program will help to mentor and empower the members of Barnard's SWS Chapter.
Innovative Investing
The Heilbrunn Center will host the 23rd annual Graham and Dodd Breakfast on Friday, October 4, 2013, at the Pierre Hotel. Neil Petroff, executive vice president and chief investment officer of Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, will be the keynote speaker.
The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, Canada's largest single-profession pension plan, is unique in that the pension fund's managers make investment decisions rather than a firm external to the fund. Petroff oversees the pension plan's investment program. He is responsible for all aspects of Teachers' investment activities, as well as the pension fund's asset-mix and risk allocations, and its real estate portfolio managed by Teachers' subsidiary, Cadillac Fairview.
Petroff has more than 25 years of experience in the financial industry. He began his career in investing at Bank of Nova Scotia and continued at Guaranty Trust and Royal Trustco. He joined Teachers in 1993 and has been responsible for a number of portfolios, including international equity indexes, fixed income, foreign exchange, commodities, tactical asset allocation, and alternative investments. With his broad capital markets knowledge and asset and risk management expertise, he became senior vice president in 2008. He assumed his current role at the beginning of 2009.
Petroff was recognized for his important place in innovative hedge fund portfolio management when Teachers was named the 2007 Public Pension Investor of the Year by Alternative Investment News. He holds a BBA and an MBA from York University and serves on 55 corporate boards, including The Cadillac Fairview Corporation Ltd., Samsung Investment Trust Management Co. Ltd., and Ontrea Ltd.
Careers and Recruiting
Last year, the Heilbrunn Center received 85 inbound inquiries for assistance with intern and full-time job searches. The 2013-14 Value Investing Cohort got analyst, associate, and portfolio management positions in investment management firms around the world. A number of them took on less traditional roles, which still advocate for a value discipline though not squarely within investment management. These students serve as global strategists, at firms like Samsung, and work within the private equity asset class at management consultancy firms like McKinsey. These companies have recognized the importance the principles of value investing play in graduating students' long-term mindsets.
The administrative team at the Heilbrunn Center spends at least 10 hours a week on career advisement and recruitment efforts through individual meetings with funds, advising students, and processing unique searches. If you are interested in advertising an internship or job to the Columbia Business School investment community please contact email@example.com.
Heilbrunn Center Events
Please review our events page to find out how you may be involved with the Heilbrunn Center this year.
We look forward to another exciting year, inspiring the future and honoring the past, while continuing to help grow the value investing community at Columbia Business School.

Romita's art
by oaser
was the worst part of AvsX -- I don't think his style is fitting for such an intentionally epic book. It's too cartoonish. DD is FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC! Pham's art was a great addition to this issue. Don't you guys think that this issue of DD read more like a Spider-Man issue? Matt's buoyant dialogue is much like Peter's arrogant banter. I loved it, and I love Mark Waid -- this comic should be bought every month. And I'm curious as to why you didn't talk about bukkake and toss racist remarks around with Nutmeg? You guys are slipping . . .
April 10, 2012, 1:39 p.m. CST
Cool to hear Nutmeg back. About time.

Daredevil is the best comic out there right now for sheer readability and enjoyment. Waid has done GREAT things with the character. LOVE the way his powers are described, and the cover to #10.1 just furthers that. So good.
by Dogmatic
April 10, 2012, 1:46 p.m. CST
One more point on Daredevil...
by Dogmatic
I love the way Waid handles his blindness as a big part of the character as well whereas some writers haven't. The issue that never has Matt in costume where he leads a bus full of blind school kids on a field trip to the Catskills was one of the best single issues Ive read in a long time.
April 10, 2012, 1:58 p.m. CST
Hawk and Dove?
by NightArrows
I'm consistently baffled by two things: A. Rob Liefeld keeps getting jobs B. There are actually ravenous Rob Liefeld fans out there who think "he's the best artist in comicdom". I guess "A" can't exist without "B", so there we go. As for Daredevil, it is one of my favourite reads. Wolverine and the X-Men being the other. Both are consistently awesome. A vs. X is good so far. Walt Simonson is doing a few Avengers issues is he not? I see he's also at least doing a Thor cover, if not the entire issue. If that's the case, I'm a happy fucking camper...

This book has been seriously fun. The art on the Mole Man arc was damn fine. It does read like a Spidey book. That has to be part of why I dig so much lately.

I may be biased, but given that the rest of us know so much about comics, I think it's good to have at least one "outsider"... a lot of times a new/casual reader will look at things in a way us hardcore fans will never even consider. And for comics to survive long-term, they've got to be able to attract the new/casual readers. Scrote, glad you enjoyed Megan's guest appearance! She may appear from time to time when I am not available. Oaser, what I want to know is, why don't these cads ever show any consideration for MY delicate ears?! They even roped my wife into leaving a crank voicemail for me, just 'cause I have to earn a living and wasn't available this week! *sob*

My Current Top favorite Comics
by Jawsh Murdock
These aren't talked about a lot lately, but they are my current favorite titles: 1. Sweet Tooth 2. The Boys 3. Invincible 4. Ultimate Spider-man 5. Batman and Robin 6. Irredeemable 7. Punisher Max 8. Walking Dead 9. X-Factor 10. Luther Strode Some titles that I usually like but currently do not like are: Justice League, X-Men, Avengers, Amazing Spider-man (Oddly Peter Parker is my least favorite Spider-man right now. both Miles and Kaine are just more interesting at the moment).
April 10, 2012, 10:55 p.m. CST
A lot of positive talk about Avenging Spider-man, but I'm not sure why...
by Jawsh Murdock
To me Avenging Spider-man reads like an over wrought children's cartoon rather than a compelling comic. I just don't dig it. Why is this such a popular title?
1. Sweet Tooth - Have yet to get into. I tried, but gave up after 2 or 3 issues. I really have a hard time with the art. 2. The Boys - I love the few and far between "deep" moments, but get bored by Ennis trying to one-up himself all the time with gross stuff. 3. Invincible - YES. This title is consistently great...as is: 4. Ultimate Spider-man - One of my fave books out there 5. Batman and Robin - This and Snyder's Batman are pretty awesome. And man, wait until you see the first page of tomorrow's issue. Loved it. 6. Irredeemable - Loved in the beginning, but quickly got tired. I find every other character that isn't the main character boring and hard to care about. 7. Punisher Max - The single best Punisher story ever told, IMHO 8. Walking Dead - Used to LOVE it, but it's starting to feel repetitive to me now 9. X-Factor - Off and on for me. I think I have to wait for trades on this, as I have trouble reading this in issues. 10. Luther Strode - This mini series was awwwwesome! As for Avenging Spider-Man, I'm just LOVING it. The humor really speaks to me and makes me LOL. It's better than Amazing right now, I think. Also, trust me, pick up tomorrow's Avenging Spidey..it's the beginning of the Omega Effect crossover with Daredevil and Punisher. If you aren't enjoying Zeb Wells' Spidey, have no fear, it's written by Mark Waid and Greg Rucka.
April 10, 2012, 11:05 p.m. CST
sorry, the above is a response for Jawsco!

April 11, 2012, 12:23 a.m. CST

First, thank you JD and Bug for letting me sit in on this podcast. It was fun as always! @scrote thanks for listening, it's nice to know who the fans are. @kcviking thank you for loving all efforts on our assterpiece. @JD: Go ahead with the bawdy talk! I can take it! ;) @Johnpot: Sorry if I was difficult to understand. I am hard of hearing, but I will try to be clearer in the future.
April 11, 2012, 7:39 a.m. CST
by NightArrows
Avenging Spiderman, to me, is everything I love about the character with none of the bullshit baggage that's been created over the years. He's witty, the action is well paced, the dialogue and interactions with the other Avengers are just awesome. The first arc with Red Hulk are two of my favourite Spidey issues ever. J. Jonah was PERFECT, and damn, it was just great. I don't understand how people can ask for an explanation as to why people like something. Either you like it, or you don't...

LAS VEGAS - Former President Bill Clinton took to the stage at the Andre Agassi Preparatory Academy Thursday night to stump for fellow Democrat U.S. Sen. Harry Reid who is in a fight for his political life.
Mr. Clinton says he can't understand why Reid is in jeopardy of losing his seat. "Why would you give away the Senate Majority Leader who has delivered time and time and time again for the people of Nevada," Clinton asked the crowd.
While Reid's opponents accuse the senator of failing to do enough to heal Nevada's ailing economy, Clinton said some factors are beyond Reid's control. "It's not his fault you have the highest foreclosure rate," Clinton said. "It's not his fault you've had all these financial shenanigans going on." "I get why people get mad. People should be mad," Clinton said.
Clinton also took a shot at Reid's opponent, Republican candidate and Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle. "There's this great game you play with your kids: 'Where's Waldo?'. Now, you're going to have to start playing the 'Where's Sharron?' game, because she's hiding out according to the local news. I might hide out too if I said I wanted to get rid of Social Security and Medicare," Clinton said.
Clinton encountered an interruption in the form of a power outage, but the former president didn't miss a beat and continued his speech in the dark. "I think he did a great job, especially since he didn't have lights or audio for about half his speech," said Reid supporter Taska Miller.
Political analysts say an anti-incumbent mood is sweeping the country, and Reid could become a casualty in November. Reid supporters like Suzy Young hope that doesn't happen. "I hope the negative mood of people doesn't cause them to not think straight and just say let's get rid of something and not think about what they're putting in," she said.
Reid's vulnerability means Nevadans can expect more political heavyweights like Bill Clinton to visit the Silver State in the coming months. Senator Reid did not attend the campaign rally. He is currently in Washington, D.C..

Suspension isn't really for anything in the aesthetic sense but is more for the intense feeling. To try and describe what suspension feels like is so difficult. It is a kind of euphoric feeling, very intense and emotional. Yes it hurts to put the hooks in but once you are up you forget about the pain, and start enjoying the freedom that suspension makes you feel. I suppose I first wanted to do a suspension when I saw one in person when I was 14, ever since then I have wanted to try. I have done two so far and I want to push myself each time I do my next one, I would say it's addictive but at the same time you either like it or you don't. I hope I answered your question :) x
It's hard to say the reason for blacking out my arm, it's no different from someone getting another style sleeve, it is just personally what I like as a style of tattoo. I am very much into my heavy blackwork and dotwork style of tattooing, I have an appointment to get the majority of my back blacked out in may next year, I really like the style so I guess it's all just personal taste. I understand that a lot of people will find this style very extreme, but at the end of the day you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover :)

Regardless of any negative talk about Las Vegas Real Estate,, these are truly amazing times to buy a home. Consider some basics here,, paying rent is higher than mortgage payments in most cases, its cheaper to buy then build in most cases and investors
are able to cash flow better on Real Estate investments than what the banks will pay them in interest on there money sitting in bank accounts.
There are still multiple offers going down on homes priced under 150k, and when the r.e.o inventory becomes less in volume in some time to pass,, regular home owners will be able list and sell there homes for prices they come up with on there own steaming
from the greed of there minds and if they have no r.e.o homes for sale in there immediate subdivisions to off set that greed ,, appraisers will have a new challenge of coming up with values to get those loans to go through.
Thank God for investors and first time buyers buying all these homes up,, otherwise they would remain empty and vandalized.

I HATE the new MSN homepage.... Constantly blinking articles... click to read something like this TOP10!... scroll down, scroll down to junk junk junk. Should NOT be this difficult to look at a story. It's not a freakin' easter egg hunt! Not worth my time to hunt down something. Easier to read the newspaper. It does not flash banners and blinking... doing constant scanning to find and finish what I initially wanted to see.
The new MSN home page designers have got to be teenagers w/ ADHD. The kind that never stop texting, and listening to the I-pod, while chewing gum, talking to someone and doing their homework ...all at the same time!!!!!! I'm 40somethin and your annoying as hell!!

The stem cell research programs University of Washington have received $24.6 million in new stem cell research funding from the National Institutes of Health (FY 2010 and 2011 to date). UW ranks 6th in the nation for total stem cell funding in this period behind several leading research universities including Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, and UC San Francisco (to read more on UCSF stem cell research see our UCSF blog).

Stem cell research at UW has been forging ahead with new innovation since the NIH came out with its new, less-restrictive guidelines on stem cell research in April 2010.
The new regulations were a recent form of implementing President Obama's executive order that expanded the NIH guidelines for stem cell research to "support and conduct responsible, scientifically worthy human stem cell research, including human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research, to the extent permitted by law." The order was a repeal of previous policies that restricted all human stem cell research.
Although NIH research restrictions on stem cell research were lifted in 2009, stem cell research at UW and other leading research universities was stalled in limbo without funding due to the lengthy process of actually reviewing different research areas for eligibility under the new guidelines. It wasn't until 2010 that the NIH reviewed and approved the primary lines of human embryonic stem cells used in research.
The NIH approval of these stem cell lines was absolutely essential for stem cell researchers because they were the primary lines that had allowed for research since 1999 (making up 89% of stem cell publications from 1999 to 2008). The new NIH guidelines allowed these essential stem cell lines to be funded for the first time ever.
Charles Murry, professor at the University of Washington Medical Center, called the new federal dollars flowing into UW stem cell research "fantastic news." Murray told the Washington Post that the new funding saves years of work from going to waste and will allow scientists to expand their current research.
Stem cell research at UW covers several important areas including:

Sympathy for Pelini? Get serious
What a difference a week makes in Lincoln, Nebraska.
It seems like just yesterday when the Huskers were still a ranked and robust team preparing to host UCLA, with a fan base entertaining notions that the Big Red under Bo Pelini could maintain its traditional place among the nation's elite, with the vaunted Blackshirt defense leading the way.
The illusion came crashing down in a hurry.
After taking an early 21-3 lead against the Bruins last Saturday, Nebraska melted down on both sides of the ball, allowing 38 unanswered points for a demoralizing 41-21 defeat that seemed to set the stage for what followed.
A now-infamous audio recording of Pelini profanely ripping media members and fans in 2011 was released to Deadspin, putting heat on a coach who is 51-21 at Nebraska but has seen his program slip at key stages as it tries the climb the ladder of lofty expectations.
We've all heard the recording and the reactions by now, putting Pelini right up with Nixon when it comes to being at turns apologetic and defiant about compromising statements recorded without one's knowledge.
Predictably, people have responded by viewing the furor through a prism of preconceived notions regarding the Huskers and their irascible leader.
Fans who remain loyal through all levels of adversity, along with Lincoln media types who do the same, are saying that the outrage is an overreaction because the tape is two years old and came from a "private moment."
Those who have been critical of Pelini's program and sideline antics in the past — as well as his failure to build a strong defensive system at Nebraska — point to this latest episode as embarrassing to the university and indicative of the coach's disregard for a fan base that remains one of the nation's most passionate.
When Pelini talked about "fair-weather fans," he was referring to those who booed his team and left their seats after the Huskers fell behind Ohio State by 21 points that night in 2011, thus missing a stirring second-half comeback and a 34-27 triumph.
Still, some of his remarks (illustrated throughout with F-bombs) had a more generalized tone, as if he was taking on Cornhusker Nation and not just a few malcontents. And the rancor behind the words was unsettling.
So was the carelessness with which they poured forth.
When you're the head football coach at a major Division I program, there are very few truly private moments. Those that exist come away from your workplace, certainly not within Memorial Stadium after a high-profile matchup.
Anyone who has ever done live radio or TV knows there are microphones that can pick up what you're saying whether you're on the air or not, and these are not really private settings.
Sure, you say things that you wouldn't say over the airwaves, but to let loose like Pelini did shows a certain recklessness that may contribute to the misgivings that many fans and former players have made known.
As the CEO and public face of the football program, he had already drawn criticism for his sideline tirades from Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman, so this is far from an isolated incident.
Of course, it is the nature of big-time college sports that winning cures all ills, and losing magnifies the dysfunction.
Pelini's biggest problem seems to be that his reputation as a defensive-minded coach has failed him in spectacular fashion recently, lowering the Blackshirts' reputation to almost Callahan-era levels.
After allowing 70 points and 539 rushing yards to Wisconsin in a humiliating Big Ten Championship setback last season, the Huskers gave up 602 yards in a narrow win over Wyoming in this year's opener and then looked dazed and confused in the second half against UCLA.
Indifferent defense is a greater sin in Lincoln than badmouthing the fans, but when you put them together you've got a volatile mix.
If Pelini can't find a way to right the ship Saturday against South Dakota State and patch some holes for the Big Ten season, Husker Nation might take him at his word about "walking out the door," allowing him all the private moments he can endure.

This Day in Baseball History
On September 21, 1964, the Philadelphia Phillies lose to the Cincinnati Reds, 1-0, on Chico Ruiz' steal of home. The defeat marks the first of 10 straight losses for the Phillies, who will lose a six-and-a-half game lead and the pennant in one of the most incredible collapses of all time…

Circuit theory extended: The role of speculation in crises
AbstractThis paper asks why modern finance theory and the efficient market hypothesis have failed to explain long-term carry trades; persistent asset bubbles or zero lower bounds; and financial crises. It extends Keen (Solving the Paradox of Monetary Profits, 2010) and the Theory of the Monetary Circuit to give a mathematical representation of Minsky's Financial Instability Hypothesis. In the extended model, the central bank rate is not neutral and the path is non-ergodic. The extended circuit has survival constraints that include a living wage, a zero interest rate and an upper interest rate. Inflation is everywhere. The possibility of a high interest rate, hedge economy emerges, where powerful banks invest surplus loan interest. With speculation, banks lobby to enter investment markets and the system is precariously liquid/illiquid. The paradox of a Ponzi economy, where loans never get repaid, is that private banks must speculate to increase reserves and rely on systemic crises to rebuild their balance sheets. Estimating model parameters for the US gives a scissor-graph like the The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, 2011) with other nuances, namely i) a heart attack in 1973-1974 that corresponds to the collapse of Bretton Woods ii) an accelerated decoupling of household wages and loans after the repeal of Glass-Steagall. Simulating bank bailouts, household bailouts and a Keynesian boost suggests that bank bailouts are the least effective intervention, with downward pressure on wages and household spending. Bailing out hedge households is a form of monetary contraction, and boosting hedge business loans is a form of monetary expansion. The appropriate policy choice would seem to depend on the external balance and inflation concerns. The paper concludes that, with international Ponzi sectors, viable resolution mechanisms include reparations (dL

Staffer Beauty Snoop: Fashion Assistant Marla Horenbein
Written on October 6, 2011 at 11:16 am , by Fitness Magazine
This week, Fashion Assistant Marla Horenbein spills her no-fail beauty finds and secrets.
Describe your beauty style in three words or less? Easy breezy!
What are three beauty products you can't live without? I am totally addicted to my CHI Flat Iron without it, my hair would be one frizzy, curly mess! I also can't live without my Neutrogena Makeup Removing Wipes. I love how clean they make my face feel, even before I wash it. And to keep my summer glow year round, I rely on my Too Faced California In A Compact Bronzer.
What's your beauty routine in the morning? I wash my face, then apply a face and body moisturizer to keep my skin feeling soft and smooth. I usually spray some dry shampoo onto my hair to give it a fresh boost and then run my flat iron over any stray strands. After I've touched up my hair, I usually get dressed and then apply my makeup. Bronzer and blush first, eyeliner and mascara second, and lip balm or gloss third. Nothing crazy, just simple and easy!
At night? Before going to bed, I take off my makeup and hop in the shower (I hate getting into bed feeling dirty!). After my shower I moisturize, then I apply a curl relaxing cream to my wet hair, and twist it into a knot on top of my head so that it doesn't dry super-frizzy.
Post-workout? It depends on the time of day that I hit the gym. I either shower (if I go early before work), just wash my face (if I go when I get out of work), or wash my face and spritz some dry shampoo onto my hair (if I go on the weekend before running errands).
What beauty product or treatment instantly makes you feel good? Can I name two? I love getting my bi-weekly manis/pedis because they make me feel fresh and polished. I also LOVE getting my hair colored. My family and friends have a joke that I have identity crisis because I am constantly changing the look of my hair!
What's the best beauty tip you've ever received (or thought of yourself)? I have always thought that a smile is one of the most attractive features on a person. That being said, you can't have a great smile without amazing pearly whites, so I always make sure to brush my teeth twice a day. My grandfather was a dentist, so he used to yell at us if we didn't brush our teeth. I used to hate it when I was little, but now I totally appreciate him for that!

Tried-It Tuesday: Damage Control
Written on November 2, 2010 at 9:27 am , by Fitness Magazine
When I visited my hometown in Texas this past weekend, I made an appointment to see my hairstylist, Jessica Broome of Headquarters in Kaufman, to switch up my fall style. After coloring my hair, she took me to the sink and started raving about a new shampoo and conditioner she has fallen in love with—TIGI Bed Head Urban Antidotes Shampoo & Conditioner. They come in levels 1, 2 & 3 depending on the condition of your hair. She recommended level 3, Resurrection, for me because I use bleach in my hair, making it more brittle than most. Level 1, Re-Energize, is for those of you with normal hair that just needs a little pick-me-up. Level 2, Recovery, is right in the middle—damaged, but not yet at intervention point.
"I have styling products that I know are great, like CHI Keratin Mist, but this is the first shampoo that I can honestly say I recommend," Broome said. Her hair felt and looked fantastic, so I knew I had to try it. She used it to wash and condition my hair, and even after getting highlights, my hair felt much softer and more manageable than prior to my visit. Bonus: It smells wonderful, too! What's your favorite shampoo and conditioner for damaged hair?

Sew With A Plan
Wheeeeeee! Thanks for letting me have a little peep in your craniums about your sewing plans or not, as the case may be. So glad I'm not the only who sews on a whim. This year I am really going to try and Sew With A Plan (or SWAP, as they call it) but you can be assured when the right pattern or fabric comes along all my good intentions will be thrown out the window as I race to whip up something completely unexpected.
Not that I'm allowed to buy any more fabrics or patterns. Uh huh. No siree. Wouldn't even think of it.
Still, that's not stopping me from thinking about the needs of Grumbles. It's not my fault that there is not a single, solitary fabric in my stash that is suitable for her (just humour me here!) We spent a pleasurable few hours last week figuring out what she needs for this summer. I think we've come up with a great mix of practical yet fun outfits. And besides, isn't half the fun the dreaming about it?
Clockwise from top left: Ruffle Skirt #15 1/2001, Floral Dress #26 3/2001, Pinafore #10 2/2005, T-shirt #29 and Skirt #30 3/2009, Sailor Dress #28 3/2001. All designs from Ottobre Design Magazine. The best part about Ottobre Design Magazine is that you can order every single back issue from their website. Love that!

Do you want a united Europe?
Dear Europeans,
I want to take the opportunity to ask the question, all our politicians should have asked. Do you want Europe? I mean not as a union of many sovereign states! Instead I mean a united Europe. Many people are talking about it. The media sometimes use it to scare, sometimes to inpire people. Is the dream of Europe, that is dreamed by many politicians really the dream of the people? I personally think a Europe build by the people is the only way to restore our reputation and our future. In my opinion, we should start a national assembly right away and build something the world hasn't seen before. It maybe take us 10 years, but sooner or later we have to start if we don't want our future shattered by old politicians who are obsessed with their power. What do you think?

Petr FrishJun 14 2013: I see we are in minority: I want United Europe.
The current 'state of the union' is not perfect, perhaps even not good, but it is perfectible.
There is no law nature to say that big union has to have big bureaucracy. We have it now (I am in EU :-), and it is not responsive and there is hardly any sensible discussion forum (as far as I know). Those are the tasks ahead.
EU will be and should be different from US. There will be and will continue to be different languages, nations, traditions. But there is no reason for not having common currency, ability to travel and seek employment and have
some useful union-wide institutions which work, such as (for example) FDA in USA. If a medicine works in Germany and Italy, will - it will probably work in Poland and Spain. There is lot opportunities and tasks here.
Lets make it work !

This class was really an experience. I felt like I never did art in my free time. Not because I didn't want to, but because I could never get started, never felt satisfied with what came out. But taking senior studio let me have the same freedom while also giving me the specific time to do it. For me, I've always been better at getting things done if I'm given a specific time to work as opposed to doing it on my own time. The fact that I could do whatever I wanted in the class but still had to be working during class really helped, and I found myself working on things I probably would never have done otherwise.
I'm hoping that after this class I'll somehow be able to get myself to do more art in my free time, and not rely on classes to motivate me. I feel like I've thought of so many new ideas during this class, and hopefully I'll actually get myself to try them.
In the reading it talked about the common thought of "I don't have enough talent". Out of all the themes in the reading, that's definitely the one I identified with the most. I often find myself thinking that I'm not good enough to talented enough and because of that, I shouldn't even be trying. It was actually comforting to read that I'm far from the only one feeling this way, and that it doesn't really matter. Because talent isn't the only thing that matters, it's also what you do with that talent and if you're actually working on improving and practicing.
