Here she is ... the woman Ken Sharmrock roughed up in a California mall because ... for some crazy reason ... he thought she was a dude.
Her name is Melinda Garcia ... she weighs 120 pounds ... and tells TMZ there's NO WAY Shamrock could've confused her for a man. In fact, she claims Ken is straight up LYING about the fight.
We broke the story ... Shamrock claims he was breaking up a girl-on-girl brawl in a mall in Modesto, CA earlier this month when someone jumped on his back. Shamrock claims he believed the person was a man, so he took "him" down. Turns out ... "he" was actually a "she."
But Garcia claims it's all BS ... claiming Shamrock didn't actually break up the original fight, but rather screamed at her to do it ... which she did.
Garcia claims Shamrock began to yell at her for not stopping the fight sooner ... and then snapped and PUNCHED her in the face.
Garcia says her mom ran over to intervene ... and Shamrock punched her too.
Soon after the alleged girl-punching, security and police arrived to the scene ... and only then, Garcia says, Shamrock backed off.
TMZ has text messages from Garcia to her sister (who goes by "Hoochie" in the phone) just moments after the fight in which she describes the incident.
Garcia tells TMZ ... if the police don't press charges, she plans to file a lawsuit.
A rep for Shamrock tells TMZ ... Ken doesn't believe he did anything wrong ... and only acted in self-defense.
So instead of just splitting them up, he decided to hit the guy... two wrongs don't make a right, and the fact that he was trying to defend the girls is just an excuse because he still could've protected the girl by just prying them apart, he didn't have to jump in and act like a big tough guy by also hitting the guy and acting like he's doing the right thing by hitting the guy (Who was actually a girl)
Not only did he beat + insult the girl, but now people are saying he was just trying to do the right thing? BULL ****!!!
Hope he's learned his lesson
Ken Shamrock is a trained fighter and fought at UFC 1, bare knuckle. She claims he punched her and that's all that happened. Remember, Ken fought at 205 pounds. No way he hit her and that's what happened. She would be ****ed up hardcore, broken orbital socket, detached retina, and at least a black eye.
Um yeah, she's a dude.
This is the problem I have with lesbians who want to look masculine. It's your life, do what you want, but don't be mad if people think you're a man.
Lets me realistic...Ken Shamrock..the UFC fighter and hall of famer.. punched a 120lbs girl in the face and thats the only mark she has??? he at most slapped her, shes barely hurt..I mean this is barely a punch if he punched her at all
Realistically if Ken Shamrock punched this girl, she would be hurt a lot worse! He's a UFC hall of famer, this is barely a slap
So a man aka UFC fighter hits a women and nobody care if she's ok and if her mother is ok that got hit in the face and all people can say is she looks like a guy wow ken shamrock be a man and say your sorry stop saying you did nothing wrong hitting women is wrong .
So nobody cares about the poor girl and her mother that got hit in the face by ken shamrock all you guys can say is she look like a guy wow sad ken need to say he's sorry and stop saying he did nothing wrong hitting women is wrong .
Ken's a beast, the dude made a living fighting +200lbs guys. If he hit her three times like she said s(he) would look a mess. I don't buy her story for a minute.
He didn't do anything wrong! That bitch should have kept her hands to her ****ing self! It doesn't matter if she is male or female, you don't attack someone who is trying to break up a fight! This dumb feminist **** got what she desires! YEAH I'm throwing it out there! She's a feminist! Obviously she believes she did nothing wrong. And thinks women can hit men. On top of that, most feminists are ugly ass butch looking women. JACKPOT BITCH!
If I were Ken I'd be worried less about the fact that she looks male and more about the fact that she looks like a 12 year old boy. And her story seems a little bit far fetched to me. I'm not even a Ken Shamrock fan but come on, he hit two women for no reason in public, I know athletes can be a bit stupid sometimes but that's a little ridiculous to me. I think I'll believe the original story instead of the one this woman is using to get the spotlight.
The issue here isn't whether it's a male or a female. That is irrelevant. It's that this person jumped on someone's back and started to assault them and got what was coming to them.

New Method to Obtain Water from Hydrogen and Oxygen
In a famous demonstration of chemistry in high school, a teacher first uses electricity to split liquid water into its component gases, hydrogen and oxygen. Then, by combining the two gases and lighting them with a spark, the instructor reconverted gases in water with a well audible noise.
Scientists at the University of Illinois have discovered a new way to get water, and without the pop. Not only can they obtain water from unlikely starting materials, such as alcohols, but their work may also lead to produce better catalysts and less expensive fuel cells.
Zachariah Heiden and Thomas Rauchfuss have discovered the method; they can use unconventional metal hydrides for a chemical process that is part of the process of formation of water.
A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. But it is not possible to simply take two hydrogen atoms and stick with one oxygen atom. The real reaction of formation of water is a bit more complicated. To produce two molecules of water (H2O), two molecules of diatomic hydrogen (H2) must be combined with one molecule of diatomic oxygen (O2), and energy is released in the process.
This reaction (2H2 + O2 = 2H2O + Energy) has been known for two centuries, but so far no one has been run in a homogeneous solution.
This well-known reaction also describes what happens inside a hydrogen fuel cell.
In a typical fuel cell, the diatomic hydrogen gas enters one end of the cell, diatomic oxygen gas enters the other end. The hydrogen molecules lose their electrons and become positively charged through a process called oxidation, while the oxygen molecules gain four electrons and become negatively charged through a process called reduction. The negatively charged oxygen ions combine with positively charged hydrogen ions, to obtain water and release electrical energy.
The "hard side" of fuel cell is the oxygen reduction reaction, not the hydrogen oxidation reaction. "However, we have found that the new catalysts for oxygen reduction could also lead to new chemical means for hydrogen oxidation," says Rauchfuss.
Rauchfuss and Heiden have investigated a relatively new generation of catalysts for use in oxygen reduction. Researchers have concentrated particularly in certain catalysts based on iridium. They found that the iridium complex affects both the oxidation produces alcohols, such as oxygen reduction.
"Most compounds react with hydrogen or oxygen, but this catalyst reacts with both," says Heiden.
The new catalysts could lead to future development of hydrogen fuel cells more efficient, significantly reducing its cost.

Pros: Value for money, Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet, looks good
Cons: no stay clean oven but the price was right
"I purchased a Belling B190G cooker recently and I am very happy with this product. It is a lovely looking cooker with stainless steel edging and everyone admires it.
It does everything the manufacturer said it would. It cooks everything well, the cooking times are pretty accurate and it doesn't take long to heat up being fan assisted. It is easy to use even if you don't read the instructions.
The grill is electric which is better than gas and less messy. Most ovens do not have gas grills nowadays.
The only drawback is that it does not keep itself clean so I try to wipe the oven each time after usage when it has cooled down. However, the price was right especially for a double oven.
Thank you Belling, you made the first cookers and are still one of the best."

A slight gripe is that the doors do not open out flat to enable a tray to rest on them. The slow cooking feature is useful and the timer allows the oven to shut off once cooking time has elapsed. It does not allow you to preset the beginning of the cook which would be more useful, and having looked around at other similar gas models they also seem not to have this feature."

The Belling BI90G gas double oven certainly has its benefits. The two ovens are conventional, which means that they are just the thing for baking. You also get a combined 80 litres of cooking capacity. Ideal for a larger household's cooking.
The heat in conventional ovens circulates via natural convection. This means that they are hotter at the top than the bottom, and so dishes that require slightly different temperatures can be cooked on different levels. This double oven has five different shelf positions, and so you can customise the heat that every one of your delicious dishes is cooked with.
The main oven has a cook to off timer which allows you to pre-set when you want the appliance to turn off. Once you've turned the oven on, set what time you want it to turn off so there's no chance of your meal burning if you get distracted.
The top cooking cavity is also home to the electric grill, which is an easier option to cook with compared to a gas grill. Both the top cavity and the bottom cavity have an easy clean enamel interior, to make it a little bit easier for you to keep your oven sparkly clean.
The design of this built-in double oven is simple, yet effective. The controls are easy to use, and the stainless steel edging looks really stylish when the oven is integrated with your kitchen unit.
Please Note: This is a built in double oven so requires to be installed in a tall eye-level unit.

Rocker Bob Geldof released a statement regarding the death of his wild-child daughter Peaches, who worked as a model, television presenter and fashion writer.
"She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us," said the onetime Boomtown Rats front man, 62. "Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?"
There was no immediate word on the cause of her death at her home in Kent, in southeast England. Police called it "an unexplained sudden death."
Peaches, 25, was twice married and leaves two sons and her second husband, musician Tom Cohen.
The last tweet she sent was on Sunday, posting a photograph of herself as a child and her late mother Paula Yates, who died of a drug overdose in 2000.
More heartbreak
Newly "uncoupled" Gwyneth Paltrow has been dealt another blow: Her grandmother Dorothy Paltrow, who lived in West Palm Beach, is dead, according to The Palm Beach Post. She was the mother of the actress' dad, Bruce Paltrow, who died of oral cancer in 2002. A private memorial service will be held.
Exit date
Apparently, it's celebrity retirement season. First came news that David Letterman was stepping down. Now Barbara Walters has made it official. The news vet, 84, plans to make her final appearance on The View May 16, part of a daylong celebration that will include ABC News naming its New York headquarters after her. Later that night, ABC will air a prime-time special on her career. Walters spent some of her childhood and teen years in Miami Beach after her father, Lou Walters, moved around the country opening up nightclubs. She began in TV in 1961.
Bump in the night
If Rihanna is indeed pregnant, as gossip website MediaTakout.com reports, we have to wonder who the father is: on-again boyfriend Drake, or off-again boyfriend Chris Brown? Ri-Ri suspiciously took a break from touring and was photographed with a small belly bulge.

Practitioners' tools in analysing financial markets evolution
AbstractIn a chaotic and confusing place as world of investing is, the practitioners, who operate on markets every day, have continuously searched to forecast properly the market movements. More minded to financial speculations, practitioners analyse financial markets looking for potential weaknesses of the Efficient Market Hypothesis, and most of the times their methods are criticised by academics. This article intends to present the traditional tools used by traders and brokers in analysing financial markets, emphasizing on critical opinions and scientific works published on this argument by now.

Book Description Report this book
When we speak on the spiritual matters in terms of atoms, molecules, quantum, radiation, electromagnetism, energy, vibrations, patterns, light and sound, then we are not committing any sin against spirituality or the divine, we are not becoming impudent to God. All knowledge written or spoken serves only one purpose and that is the unfoldment of Truth. Truth of life and existence is undeniably One. If it is not One it is not Truth at all.

last character of the key prefix string ignored
I'm seeing this with membase-server 1.7.
tested OK with patched version of libmemcached 0.49
To save me downloading the source, is this scheduled to be in 1.71?
actually hold that, let me make absolutely sure...(checked source and it looks nothing like libmemcached!)
will write a test prog..
OK, nevermind, false alarm sort of... but someone else will hit this so...
This is a bug in libmemcached that you will see if you're using version 0.49 (centos 5.5 et all) and are using prefixes.
Here's my test prog:
$memcache = new Memcached();
$memcache->setOption(Memcached::OPT_PREFIX_KEY, $key_prep);
$memcache->setOption(Memcached::OPT_BINARY_PROTOCOL, FALSE);
$memcache->setOption(Memcached::OPT_COMPRESSION, TRUE);
$memcache->add('ztest1', $obj, 0);
echo "Prefix : ", $memcache->getOption(Memcached::OPT_PREFIX_KEY), "\n";
Run this on a client machine using current versions of membase/moxi and php-pecl-memcached and you'll be 1 char short on your prefix.
It's not moxi or membase, it's libmemcached. Fix will be in 0.5 or you can just get the source for .49 and recompile after changing libmemcached/array.c:63 to array->size= str_length;
Maybe a mod could move this thread to the moxi forum.
To answer your question about when the fix will be included in the Membase binaries, we do build from libmembase trunk when doing a Membase release. So yes, the fix should be in 1.7.1.
Also to clarify, the bug is in the client library, not anything that Couchbase actually provides. The fix is already available as per the thread above.

Michty me, whit a show! Lesbian movies, vibrating things and confessions from the bedroom – and Elaine speechless!
Another excellent episode!
I was surprised to hear that you have problems with iMessage, I use it every day for both local and international texts.
It has always performed perfectly, no delays, no out of sequence text messages. And it saves me money on the international messages.
Following your advice, I installed Alfred and am now enjoying its functionality. It's a great little app.
By coincidence Don MacAllister of ScreenCastsOnline published a show on Alfred this week which really helps to explain the finer points of the app.
Apologies for my being so chattery on the comments today!
This third and last one is for those listeners who may like to see the DVD ripping advice I gave to Minster in relation to his jumbled up movie files. I wrote a quick blogpost today on how to sort out the problem of HandBrake producing out-of-sequence movie files:

Rocky IV Reviews
Creative Loafing
There are simply too many ludicrous elements to ignore: Paulie's robot; Brigitte Nielsen, even less expressive than the robot; about a thousand music-video-styled montages; Lundgren's delivery of Drago's deadly dialogue; etc.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
Sylvester Stallone is really sloughing it off shamelessly in Rocky IV, but it's still impossible not to root for old Rocky Balboa to get up off the canvas and whup that bully one more time.
Empire Magazine
Ridiculous jingoistic nonsense.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
Boxers are noted for their hubris, but Stallone, perhaps still punch-drunk from the early success, would have been better advised to have quit rather than suffer the body blows of this nonsense.
TV Guide's Movie Guide
A far cry from the delights (both large and small) of its illustrious original.
Chicago Reader
The crazed flag-waving would be a lot easier to take if it weren't so clearly a commercial calculation meant to salvage what is otherwise a crass, careless, shamelessly padded film.
Reel Film Reviews
...suffers from a vibe of superfluousness...
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
Time Out
Film reduced to the barest of three acts.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
The film's only major disappointment is a lack of screen-time for a pre-Foofy Foofy Brigitte Nielsen
Predictable and corny. When the Soviet fans as well as the Soviet government officials stand up and cheer Rocky at the end, you can't help but roll your eyes in disbelief.
Full Review | Original Score: C
Kansas City Kansan
Fourth in series has lost most of punch
| Original Score: 3/5
Spirituality and Practice
Proves once again that all the world loves an underdog.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Worcester Telegram & Gazette
(No quote available.)
| Original Score: 2/5
Mixed Reviews
Cold War metaphors delivered with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer dampens the storytelling.
| Original Score: 1/5
New York Times
Even the hint of political power that Rocky garners by the end of this latest battle is made to seem like more of the same empty glory.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
Sunday Times (Australia)
I know it's awful, but I can't look away!
| Original Score: 3/5
Flipside Movie Emporium
A camp classic, funny for all the wrong reasons.
| Original Score: 1/5
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Should have stopped at three. Four, no more.
| Original Score: 1/5
More action, and less plot let's makes Rocky's latest bout entertaining, but far from groundbreaking.
| Original Score: 3/5
Montreal Film Journal
If you ask me, it's mostly about 1985, a time when you could fill 90 minutes with nothing but machismo, excitement and montage.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

Yamaha launched its take on the big adventure bike market in 2010 when they unveiled the XT1200Z Super Tenere.

Solar Power Mid-Atlantic, co-sponsored by SEIA and the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) will take place in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Sept. 9 and 10, 2014 and will showcase 25 exhibitors along with a day and a half of educational programming.
New Nevada Study Shows Huge Upside to Installing Solar
A new independent study prepared for the Nevada Public Utilities Commission estimates that the grid benefits of rooftop solar systems installed in the state through 2016 will outweigh costs by more than $36 million, confirming that solar energy can provide real savings for both solar and non-solar customers alike.
PLANT OF THE YEAR: Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System Earns POWER's Highest Honor
The era of Big Solar has arrived, and at the moment there are none bigger than Ivanpah. Now, Ivanpah records another milestone: The first renewable plant to receive POWER's Plant of the Year Award. Comprising three self-contained units with a total capacity of 392 MW (377 MW net), Ivanpah is a joint effort between BrightSource Energy, NRG Energy (through its subsidiary NRG Renew, formerly NRG Solar), Google, and Bechtel.

Another Big Solar Project Gets Under Way in California
The 135-MW Quinto Solar Project, a solar photovoltaic (PV) plant under construction in California's Central Valley, officially broke ground on July 29.
San Jose–based SunPower Corp. is building the plant in Los Banos, and will sell power from the facility to Southern California Edison under a 20-year power purchase agreement. The project is due for completion in late 2015.
SolarCity Raises $201.5 Million in Bonds Backed by Panels
SolarCity Corp. (SCTY), the first U.S. company to offer bonds backed by rooftop solar panels, raised $201.5 million in its third debt offering in eight months.
The senior notes were sold at an interest rate of 4.03 percent and were rated BBB+ by Standard & Poor's, the third-lowest investment grade. The junior notes were sold at an interest rate of 5.45 percent and were rated BB, which is not investment grade. Both tranches mature in July 2022.
Solar Software Tools Slashing Soft Costs
It's estimated installers spend up to $3,000 to acquire each new customer. This high price of customer acquisition is one of the many so called "soft costs" that increase the price of solar and reduce installer margins. Every step along the road to a signed contract has inefficiencies, which is spurring new software solutions to help installers increase their sales volume and close deals faster.
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel?
An industry proposal aimed at ending a long-running solar trade dispute between the United States and China is gaining support among key lawmakers at both the state and federal levels, including the chairmen of the U.S. Senate Finance and Budget committees.
Trade disputes often have a nasty way of becoming trade wars.
On average, the sun shines in Sacramento, California, 265 days a year. Well, it looks like even more clear skies and sunny days ahead as the state wrapped up its legislative session on a high note.
At a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East – coupled with rising gasoline prices across the United States – there is finally some good news on the energy front. America's solar energy industry is currently on pace to achieve a record-shattering year.
President Obama's recent decision to install solar panels atop the White House is just the latest example of his strong commitment to U.S. leadership in solar energy and the jobs it will create here at home.
The member companies of the Solar Energy Industries Association strongly share that commitment. Covering every aspect of the solar pipeline, they employ more than 120,000 Americans – providing savings for homeowners, power for our military and a cleaner world for future generations.
All across the United States, rooftop solar panels are popping up on homes, businesses and schools like mushrooms in a forest, and utility-scale solar projects are bringing huge amounts of clean energy into our communities. Why? Well, among other things, consumer choice in America is something that we all hold very sacred.
The U.S. solar industry is booming. "U.S. [Residential] Installation Frequency Hits One Every Four Minutes," according to a recent article in PV-tech.org. That puts the US residential solar industry on track to install 128,000 systems in 2013, according to GTM Research (Q213). We have come a long way since 2007 when I sold the first residential solar power purchase agreement to a homeowner in Redwood City, CA.
When the U.S. Department of Energy held its first Solar Decathlon on the National Mall in 2002, Americans were growing nervous about energy issues for the first time in decades. Natural gas prices had skyrocketed, California had just recovered from rolling blackouts, and the events of 9/11 and our continued dependence on foreign energy sources were at the foreground in our minds.
Every day, I talk to groups and reporters about the amazing growth of solar all across the United States. But for the past week, there has been more buzz than ever about America's solar industry because of the decision by President Obama to install solar panels on the White House.
Solar power is one of the cleanest, safest, and most abundant domestic energy sources available. In addition to helping power our homes, schools, and businesses, the U.S. solar industry strives to be a leader in sustainability among energy producers by ensuring environmental and social responsibility along the entire solar supply chain.

And now, they're coming for your Social Security money - they want your fucking retirement money - they want it back - so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all from you sooner or later. Because they own this fucking place. It's a Big Club: and you're not in it.
—George Carlin
— Timothy Noah making a point that is as cogent as it is (apparently) unutterable on the national stage. You want to energize the great unwashed? This is your platform. It combines the necessary economic narrative with the need for better education in this country, and the universal desire for one's children to "do better" than Mom and Dad ever did. Use it within these next several months in which teachers are still considered people of consequence. The GOP is doing everything it can to reverse that notion. Wonder why.
TNR's Timothy Noah has a nice piece up detailing polls that show the general public largely gets that it's the GOP being more obstructive, more extreme, and (even among Republicans) ultimately less popular and more deserving of being shown the door. But then Noah writes the funniest thing I've read in a while:
I hope the "objective" press reports these findings accurately, and doesn't bend itself into a pretzel trying to portray this poll as mere generalized disgust with partisan bickering in Washington.
What color is the sky in your world, Tim?
— Newt Gingrich, disgraced former Speaker and loving husband, describes his first wife in a Katharine Q. Seelye profile. Ladies and gentlemen, your next GOP frontrunner.
(Source: tnr.com)
— Bill Daley, White House Chief of Staff. This is why they fail.
Anyone, and I mean anyone who holds this opinion, much less speaks of it to a journalist of any stripe, should resign immediately or have been fired long ago. You think this is frustrating Bill? You think "your" side is equally to blame? Then go the fuck home. You are part of the problem and we'll get nothing truly worthwhile done until everyone who thinks like you has long since left the scene.
(Source: tnr.com)
Timothy Noah nails it:
You still can't say [publicly] that Fortune 500 chairmen need to maximize their incomes, but it's now perfectly OK to say that real estate speculators and day traders who pay taxes as S-Corporations to dodge Social Security and Medicare payments need to maximize their incomes. By God, they built this country!
Yep. Twenty years of message discipline gets you places. The Democrat could learn something from this sort of thing but never does.
Newish TNR man Timothy Noah weighs in on Politico, White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley, Obama, and reporting in general (emphasis in original):
The main problem with the Politico piece is that its central example is Daley's mishandling of the scheduling of Obama's jobs bill speech. Obama wanted to give it in the House of Representatives on a Wednesday and Boehner said no dice, you have to give it on a Thursday. This somehow became a two-day story and a referendum on Obama's impotence and the House Republicans' incivility. I don't care about how Daley handled this trivial scheduling conflict. I care about how Daley advised Obama during the disastrously drawn-out debt-ceiling negotiations, in which Obama really did look impotent and the House Republicans looked not merely uncivil but bent on destroying the economy. But Politico has nothing on that except a passing reference to Daley cutting Senate leaders out of the loop during the negotiations. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid apparently called Obama to complain that Daley keeps him in the dark. That's interesting.
This simply isn't done. In one short paragraph, we have Noah pointing out the vacuity of a competitor, sure, but to me this reads as broader indictment of the Beltway style of political "reporting" in general. Noah actually seems aware of objective reality, makes not one "pox on both their houses" hedge, and points out a real point of contention between a Democratic power center (Reid) and the White House, all while noting that none of this gets covered in the "who won the day" obsessed political press and what does get mentioned is not only often plainly wrong but in a different zip code than anything approaching reality. More please.

— Will Wilkinson, Libertarian, on Ron Paul.
(h/t IlyaGerner)
Jon Chait unleashes the snark over a suggestion that we have a seperate Super Committee tasked only with "[encouraging] the new supercommittee to 'go big, or go home.'"
What if we determined the membership of the meta-committee via some non-political selection method — perhaps through the creation of a new group containing, Republicans and Democrats, dedicated to finding the right mix of politicians of both parties, who would be tasked with coming up with a bipartisan plan to lobby the bipartisan supercommission to come up with a bipartisan plan to reduce the deficit?
Actually, the loyal Lemkin reader will realize we covered this one, er, one year ago:
Thirty electors were chosen by lot, and then a second lottery reduced them to nine, who nominated forty candidates in all, each of whom had to be approved by at least seven electors in order to pass to the next stage. The forty were pruned by lot to twelve, who nominated a total of twenty-five, who needed at least nine nominations each. The twenty-five were culled to nine, who picked an electoral college of forty-five, each with at least seven nominations. The forty-five became eleven, who chose a final college of forty-one. Each member proposed one candidate, all of whom were discussed and, if necessary, examined in person, whereupon each elector cast a vote for every candidate of whom he approved. The candidate with the most approvals was the winner, provided he had been endorsed by at least twenty-five of the forty-one.
An interesting read in which Dean Baker agrees with Ron Paul's idea:
…the Fed has bought roughly $1.6 trillion in government bonds through its various quantitative easing programs over the last two and a half years. This money is part of the $14.3 trillion debt that is subject to the debt ceiling. However, the Fed is an agency of the government. Its assets are in fact assets of the government. Each year, the Fed refunds the interest earned on its assets in excess of the money needed to cover its operating expenses. Last year the Fed refunded almost $80 billion to the Treasury. In this sense, the bonds held by the Fed are literally money that the government owes to itself.
Unlike the debt held by Social Security, the debt held by the Fed is not tied to any specific obligations. The bonds held by the Fed are assets of the Fed. It has no obligations that it must use these assets to meet. There is no one who loses their retirement income if the Fed doesn't have its bonds. In fact, there is no direct loss of income to anyone associated with the Fed's destruction of its bonds. This means that if Congress told the Fed to burn the bonds, it would in effect just be destroying a liability that the government had to itself, but it would still reduce the debt subject to the debt ceiling by $1.6 trillion. This would buy the country considerable breathing room before the debt ceiling had to be raised again. President Obama and the Republican congressional leadership could have close to two years to talk about potential spending cuts or tax increases. Maybe they could even talk a little about jobs.
In addition, there's a second reason why Representative Paul's plan is such a good idea. As it stands now, the Fed plans to sell off its bond holdings over the next few years. This means that the interest paid on these bonds would go to banks, corporations, pension funds, and individual investors who purchase them from the Fed. In this case, the interest payments would be a burden to the Treasury since the Fed would no longer be collecting (and refunding) the interest.
More detail at the link. I'm no economist, but it sounds like dodging the interest alone is worth doing in exchange for a fairly minor "bank tax" down the road as the reserve rate requirements would necessarily ratcheted up slightly to offset the eventual inflationary pressure caused by The Great Bond Shredding of '11.
Were I Obama, I'd get out on the hustings this very second talking about how under no circumstances should the Fed order these bonds be destroyed. Go have lunch with Joe Biden. Come back out and say "well, it is with a heavy heart I have to bow to the demands of my GOP overlords. We shall shred the bonds effective immediately. Bipartisan!"
After all, the only way to get something done in this government is for Obama to come out against it and wait for the GOP's reflexive adoption of the opposite position no matter what the issue. That the Democratic leadership in DC haven't yet figured this out is why they fail.

Here comes Cooley, what's not to like?
11 February 2014
Long regarded as a conservative beast, Baker & McKenzie, still glowing after breaking the $1m average profit per equity partner (PEP) barrier earlier this year, has embraced a new value: ambition.
And what better place to unveil this to the firm as a whole than the annual partnership committee, held in the Hilton Hotel on Park Lane last week.
Bar one or two small mergers in countries such as Chile and Sweden - and the taking on of much of the New York office of defunct firm Coudert Brothers - Bakers has become the firm it is today largely through organic growth.
The question now facing its partners, and one they will ponder before the next major partnership meeting in December, is whether they should continue operating as they have been, or whether they should raise the bar to a more ambitious level.
London has become a major focus for the firm, hence the symbolic move of holding the partnership conference there. Firmwide chairman John Conroy points out that London houses the firm's largest office and is also considered a prioritised market for Bakers. There are also now more global heads of department based in London than in any other office across the network.
However, that is not to say the firm's strategy is shifting in favour of London; it is now looking to target the US West Coast, Chicago, Brazil, Australia, Germany and Paris.
With this geographic shift, the global firm, which long ago gave up affiliating itself to a dominant nationality, is also having to rethink how it brands itself and has hired communications director Mark Bain specifically to build its 'brand reputation' around the world.
"The shift in power across the globe is causing global businesses to rethink how they are viewed in the world," says Conroy. "For example, Disney has realised that it has to have as much a brand in Bollywood as it does in Hollywood. Greater brand clarity will enable us to provide a value proposition for clients that's distinctive."
Which is no small task, but, as London managing partner Gary Senior points out, sweeping change has never been a mark of Bakers.
"One of the key things about our firm is that we've changed quite a lot, but without engaging in any particular revolution - that's not our style," he says. "It's more a case of constant evolution while maintaining our culture. This can sometimes seem a bit slow, even internally."
For Conroy, breaching the $1m PEP barrier certainly seemed to bring a moment of epiphany, particularly as it was achieved 12 months ahead of schedule. In addition to thinking about how the firm should position itself in key locations across the globe, he is preparing to announce an ambitious three-year profitability target to the partnership in December. That said, he stresses that PEP is unlikely to become the carrot that drives the firm on.
"We wouldn't have the talent in London or the US without PPP [profit per partner] being where it is," he says. "Profitability is a key enabler, but I don't envision us becoming a firm where profitability is the be all and end all."
In addition to focusing on specific markets for growth, Bakers has narrowed its main practice areas down from what Conroy terms "many" to 11, and is keen to develop its relationships with a core list of clients, particularly financial institutions.
"Throughout the world there's been a convergence of businesses using fewer firms," says Conroy. "We think that's a wonderful opportunity and believe that if we have these kinds of appointments, we'll be their counsels of choice."
However, perhaps most significantly, Conroy says the firm could even be ready to move beyond its strategy of organic-only growth.
"We need more critical mass and I'll be alive to larger opportunities," he says. "I don't eschew merger or think something like that is bad strategy."
For Bakers, that is the very definition of ambitious.

I definitely understand your frustration with not wanting to lose the Call to Arms tanking/healing bonus when queueing for a group in LFD. The problem is, the reason for CtA is so that you will queue and be available for those others that don't have a tank/healer friend available, as you obviously are to others.
If they allowed the reward and you just queued with people you know... you've removed the reason for the reward, to get more tanks/healers to run random groups. This would then be abused by those that have folks to queue with.
Now, with all that being said. Perhaps there could be a reduction of gold or satchel goodies if queueing with 1 or more people. So reduce the amount of payout as you add more folks to your party, with it going to 0 when you have a full party; you can also have the chances things will drop in the satchel reduce accordingly too.
This resolves the issue of getting the bonus when running with others, but still getting something if you aren't forming a full party prior to using LFG. It would be similar to the 3+ random people in your party and you get the 5/10/15% bonus to stamina/damage/healing. My thoughts on it anyways.

Wrong kind of pepper Is the offseason over yet? I'm ready for some baseball. It's been a while since I posted anything as I have been busy with a few other commitments but I've found some time today to put together what I hope will become a regular thing. Today it's called Playing Pepper. Next time it could be called something else. I'm still working that part out. It's basically just going to be a post of quick hits (cuz Pepper kinda involves quick hits, get it?) summarizing things that have happened with the Reds within the last week or so and my thoughts on such things. Since this is the first one though, it could cover anything that has happened between now and when last season ended. I'm literally making it up on the fly and it's kind of just a big run-on thought of mine. It is an open forum of sorts. Feel free to agree or disagree as you see fit. Discussion is half the fun.

If the Heisman Trophy people are to be taken at their word, that their award "annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity," the kid known as "Johnny Football" has to be the choice. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, as he was known before the nickname stuck, is a transformative player. If you take him off the ninth-ranked Aggies, they are not the same. Their transition into the Southeastern Conference is less steady, their decision to secede from the Big 12 more second-guessable, their season less exciting. Manziel made it impossible to tell the tale of this college season without him. The problem is logic and awards have only a casual relationship. Voters screw these things up often and for reasons like "we usually do not do that" and "you see, Johnny Football is a freshman," and this may cost Manziel the Heisman.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (KTTC) -- Gov. Mark Dayton is returning to Mayo Clinic in Rochester for a procedure meant to help heal a torn muscle in his left hip area.
Dayton's office released details Monday of the upcoming procedure. It's known as a "platelet rich plasma injection," or PRP, and involves the extraction of concentrated platelets from the patient's blood that are injected into injured muscle.
Dayton is scheduled to undergo the approximately hour-long procedure on Wednesday, under local anesthesia. His office says he will have limited mobility for two weeks following the procedure, and that he will refrain from public events and conduct business at the governor's residence during that time.
The 66-year-old governor tore a hip muscle in June. He was also sidelined for several weeks last winter after back surgery at Mayo.
