AIG's US$4.2b sale of plane-leaser ILFC to Chinese investors in doubt
Mainland investors yet to pay deposit for the US$4.2 billion stake in aircraft lessor
Related topics
American International Group chief executive Robert Benmosche raised doubt about whether the company would complete a sale of its plane-leasing unit to a Chinese investor group by a deadline this month.
"June 14, we have to make a decision," Benmosche said on Tuesday. "Whether this deal will get done or not, we don't know."
AIG said last week that it had not received a deposit required in an agreement to sell International Lease Finance Corp to acquirers led by New China Trust's chairman, Weng Xianding. That would allow AIG to cancel the accord, reached in December last year, to sell 80 per cent of ILFC for about US$4.2 billion.
The transaction is subject to approval from US and Chinese regulators, including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US.
Benmosche said AIG had the option of cutting its stake in ILFC through a public offering if the deal fell apart.
"Common sense would tell you that we would continue our dialogue" with the potential buyers, he said. There were "a lot of hurdles to go through. It's very complicated, and we're doing the best we can".
A spokesman for the Chinese buyers declined to comment.
The Chinese consortium was actively pushing forward the progress of the deal, China Business News reported on its website, citing New China Trust's Weng as saying.
Weng did not directly respond to questions about the issue of the deposit payment, the newspaper reported.
Two telephone calls to New China Trust's office were not answered yesterday.
Investors have been counting on AIG to sell the unit so it can speed buy-backs and pay a dividend, according to analysts.
Benmosche said the transaction was meant to reduce risk and narrow AIG's focus.
Maurice Greenberg, the former chief executive of AIG, bought ILFC in 1990 to diversify earnings.
The company made money by capitalising on the spread between AIG's borrowing costs and the rates paid by airlines for leasing jets.
AIG has sold assets to repay a 2008 US government bailout that swelled to US$182.3 billion. The government exited its stake last year at a profit.
"The ILFC transaction is not about raising cash to buy back shares," Benmosche said. "This is about simplifying AIG, having a company that is manageable, in my opinion, and is around insurance, and not how to begin to get extra yield on some of the investments we could make as a company leveraging what used to be the triple-A of AIG."
ILFC owns or operates a fleet of about 1,000 aircraft.

Join us for this important, nonpartisan event about digital learning and where it will take education in Ohio -- and the nation -- in the years to come. National and state-based education experts and policymakers will debate and discuss digital learning in the context of the Common Core academic standards initiatives, teacher evaluations and school accountability, governance challenges and opportunities, and school funding and spending.
The era of the chalkboard is over. Laptops, SMART boards, Wikis, YouTube, and Gaming are in. Is this progress or just distraction? That was the topic of conversation among nearly 300 educators and policymakers at Fordham's "Digital Learning: The Future of Schooling?" event last week. (Please check out the video replay here.)
Ohio State Superintendent Stan Heffner opened the event by laying out the problematic mix of technology, education, and kids: "Kids spend their nights in high-tech bedrooms and spend their days in low-tech classrooms." The remainder of the conversation focused on how to harness kids' aptitude in technology for effective educational practices.
Fordham – and our event partners, KnowledgeWorks and the Nord Family Foundation –assembled an elite group of digital learning experts and Ohio practitioners to explore best practices and policies. The event's first panel consisted of four national experts (U.S. Department of Education's Karen Cator, Public Impact's Bryan Hassel, iNACOL's Susan Patrick, and Getting Smart's Tom Vander Ark), each of whom emphasized the promise and inevitability of digital learning in the classroom.
A few of their recommendations included:
The era of the chalkboard is over. Laptops, SMART boards, Wikis, YouTube, and Gaming are in. Is this progress or just distraction? That was the topic of conversation among over 250 educators at Fordham's "Digital Learning: The Future of Schooling?" event yesterday. (Please check out the video replay here.)
Ohio State Superintendent Stan Heffner opened the event by laying out the problematic mix of technology, education, and kids: "Kids spend their nights in high-tech bedrooms and spend their days in low-tech classrooms."
The remainder of the conversation focused on how to harness kids' aptitude in technology for effective educational practices.
A few of their recommendations included:...
There's nothing intrinsically political about digital learning. It's not a right-wing plot to co-opt education policy, nor a ploy to destroy the teacher unions. And it shouldn't become a conservative clarion call or liberal punching bag. Digital learning's potential will be squandered by both sides and for all students if we allow it to be caught between partisan ideologies.
Yet that is exactly what we're doing today. Left-leaning pundits (including the gang at the National Education Policy Center) distance themselves from digital learning—decrying it a Trojan Horse for union-busters, little more than a ruse to kill organized labor and replace teachers with droids. They further vilify online learning as a mechanism to privatize K-12 education, citing Kaplan's staggering non-completion and loan-default rates and the shaky academic-success rate of schools under K12's watch (glossing over great examples of well-run for-profit online programs like Connections Academy). They...
Guest blogger Eleanor Laurans, a senior principal at The Parthenon Group, co-authored "The Costs of Online Learning," a chapter in Fordham's new volume, Education Reform for the Digital Era.
"Online learning is a cheaper way to educate my kids? That's great—where do we sign up?!"
I don't know many parents who would utter such a remark—do you?
Our team's research for our recent chapter of the Fordham book, Education Reform for the Digital Era, did in fact demonstrate that online learning can be less expensive—sometimes significantly less expensive—than traditional bricks-and-mortar schools. This is an important and exciting finding, as many schools today are striving to figure out ways to navigate budget crises. But it would be a mistake to focus solely on cost as the field of digital learning evolves. Of course there are cheaper ways to educate our kids. The critical question is, Can online learning be less expensive and better for students?
We don't know if online learning works. We...
Digital learning is more than the latest addition to education reformers' to-do lists, filed along with teacher evaluations, charter schools, tenure reform, academic standards, and the like. It's fundamentally different: For digital learning to fulfill its enormous potential, a wholesale reshaping of the reform agenda itself is required, particularly in the realms of school finance and governance. But just as online education needs those reforms if it is to flourish, so does major education reform need digital learning, which can provide valuable solutions to some of the greatest challenges in this territory—beginning with the basic obsolescence of public education's familiar delivery system.
Today, American education has the potential to be rebooted and accelerated by digital learning. Indeed, truly boosting student achievement—as well as individualizing instruction and creating high-quality options for children and families among, within, and beyond schools—will depend to a considerable extent on how deftly we exploit this potential, both in its pure form (full-time online instruction) and in various "blended" combinations of digital and flesh-and-blood instruction.
Guest blogger John E. Chubb is interim CEO of Education Sector and author of "Overcoming the Governance Challenge in K-12 Online Learning," a chapter in Fordham's new volume, Education Reform for the Digital Era.
Back in the day, a prominent education reformer asked me to send him a fax rather than an email. Asked why, he replied, only half jokingly, "if God had wanted us to use email he would not have invented the fax machine!" Reflecting on the remark I always chuckle, but then think: how prophetic. Technology has come slowly to K-12 education. Our schools and classrooms are not all that different from those of fifty years ago or longer. While most every industry has adopted new information technologies and often been transformed in the process, schools really have not.
Some of the pace must be attributed to the perspective unwittingly expressed by my reformer friend. Schools are the way they are for good reason. Students require the attention of caring...
Today Fordham is releasing a new volume explaining how the U.S. education system must change in order to realize the potential of digital learning. Education Reform for the Digital Era argues that major overhauls of school finance, governance, and accountability are needed if on-line education is to live up to its potential.
The policy blunders that hamstrung the charter-school movement as it grew can be avoided this time if policymakers and education leaders demonstrate foresight and boldness now. To do so, explain editors Chester E. Finn, Jr. and Daniela Fairchild, those leaders must overcome entrenched interests, public education's resistance to change, and the system's basic structures for financing and governing.
The new book provides estimates of the costs—and savings—for online learning models, as well as targeted chapters on how to overhaul a system that has been leapfrogged by advances in technology. These address:
The full video from yesterday's panel discussion is now available online. Whether you attended in-person, joined the conversation online, or missed it altogether, you can watch the replay of the lively converstation on the future of digital learning (or read the recap from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.)
Be sure to mark your calendars for the release of Fordham's digital learning volume, "Education Reform for the Digital Era," available for download April 25, and continue the conversation by registering for "Digital Learning: The Future of Schooling?" That discussion, featuring an all-star lineup of policymakers, experts, and administrators, will be streamed live from Columbus, Ohio on Fordham's website from 1 to 4 p.m. EDT on May 17.
Will the digital-learning movement repeat the mistakes of the charter-school movement? How much more successful might today's charter universe look if yesterday's proponents had focused on the policies and practices needed to ensure its quality, freedom, and resources over the long term? What mistakes might have been avoided? Damaging scandals forestalled? Missed opportunities seized?
Can we be smarter about taking high-quality online and blended schools to scale—and to educational success? Yes, says this volume, as it addresses such thorny policy issues as quality control, staffing, funding, and governance for the digital sector. In these pages, the authors show how current arrangements need to change—often radically—if instructional technology is to realize its potential.

I have a 1996 Ford Contour 2.0 16 valve Vtec dual overhead cam engine. Radiator hose broke, car overheated. I pulled the head and had it milled and pressure tested. Put everything back together. Started right up but as it got warm water vapor steaming out the valve cover breather tube. I would think it is a cracked head but I had it tested when it was off the car getting milled.
Is there anything else that this could be? Looking for ideas.

Koh Phangan The Nomad House
Infrastructures Carte Streetview Revues
111/12 Moo 1 Ban Tai
Remarque : il est de la responsabilité de la chaîne hôtelière et/ou de l'établissement individuel de garantir la conformité des photos présentées. Travellerspoint n'est pas responsable d'éventuelles inexactitudes liées aux photos.
A fun and social hostel…. It's all about comfort and being part of the lively backpacker community created at the Nomad House. Being a Hostel in Koh Phangan and conveniently located in one of the island's major party zones, we do cater mostly to the party goers. At our house parties and kickbacks, whether it is a small crowd or a group of over a hundred people, there is always some sort of shenanigans to get into before the night leads into one of Koh Phangan's world famous parties. The Nomad House is, however, a fairly large hostel and getting a decent night's sleep is easy. We get frequent regulars and many of our guests return, making the Nomad House just that; a home away from home.
Come join the fun and make yourself at home. Our international, all-star staff members are always here for you to make your stay the best that it can be.
The Nomad House is located in the heart of Ban Tai. We are about 4 km away from the Thongsala pier (The main pier). Loi Lay Boat Party, Maya Party, The Half Moon Festival, Black Moon Party, The Jungle Experience, and other major jungle parties are right in our neighborhood, most located in the jungle behind the hostel. The world famous Full Moon party is only a 10/15-minute ride away. For those looking to relax, Ban Tai beach is only 100 meters directly in front of the hostel. Around the hostel are also many activities such as elephant trekking, jungle trekking, meditation retreats, yoga, kite surfing, Muay Tai boxing, fire shows, scuba diving/snorkeling, and a whole bunch more.
Koh Phangan, while known for parties is a beautiful tropical island worth exploring. We encourage our guests to go see the island and its natural beauty. 90 percent of the island is undeveloped and untouched pristine beaches and ancient jungles. We rent out scooters and our awesome staff will organize group snorkeling and hikes to amazing viewpoints and beaches frequently. We sometimes even rent out a truck if there are enough people to pitch in for the cost and go exploring some of Koh Phangan's most serene beaches.
Our dorm rooms are very comfortable and clean, with air-conditioning, hot showers, WIFI, lockers, individual electric sockets, and all beds come with sheets, blankets, and towels. Although our rooms are nice, we do emphasize the fact that this is a social hostel. So if you want to just stay in your bed and not express yourself, this is not a hostel for you.
Aside from our cozy dorm rooms, we have a movie room, a billiards hall with a projector playing all of your sports channels and movies etc. We have a travel agent on site that can book you whatever you need such as tours, scuba diving packages, and on-wards travel. We also have a very spacious front patio, which is where our famous pre-parties take place. There is a beautiful back garden with comfortable resting and chilling areas, which is perfect for your hangovers. If anyone wants a quick dip too, we have the world's biggest swimming pool (the ocean) right across the street from us!
Come check us out!
A few things to note:
This is a very social and lively hostel. A sense of community is very strong at this hostel. If you don't want to get involved in activities and parties with other guests or If you like to be in your room all day and not mingle and share your experiences, this is not the right hostel for your stay.
Cash payment for booking must be paid upon arrival.
Check-in's before 9:00 AM must notify the Nomad House at least 24 hours in advance.
Cancellation must notify the Nomad House at least 48 hours in advance.
Cancellations during Full Moon periods must notify the Nomad House at least 96 hours in advance.
All New Year Cancellations must be made at least 10 days before date of arrival.

Improving my photographic skills
I want to improve my skills as a photographer but I have the snapshot taking mentality instead of composing or "framing" my shots. I have been reading a book about composition but I still can't wrap my head on what I am doing wrong. I think composition is one of my major weaknesses along with the subject matter of the photo. Do I keep on taking photographs until I can master composition?

The first thing I tend to do is to purposely slow down and ask myself a bunch of questions:
Analyze your subject for why you find it interesting. (Color? Shape? Leading lines? Texture?)
Look at what is around the subject. Do these things add to the picture or distract from the subject? If they distract, get rid of them. (Zoom in, move closer, change your viewing angle.)
Take pics in both landscape and portrait orientation.
Is there a different angle the subject can be shot at?

Certainly! You are highly unlikely to master it without experience, which can largely be accomplished only by making photographs. Note that this isn't a "light bulb off... light bulb on" sort of thing. It comes gradually. I found that it helped to compare new with old, possibly quite old, as it never really feels like you're making progress, even if you are.

Composition is just a tool among others...! The snapshot "mentality" is often more a desire to "record" such scene or event, while those highly praised pictures that became landmarks in the history of photography are more of the "saying a story" type...
The difference between these two attitudes can be technically very small. If I take as an example an animal in a zoo, the "record" snap would be perfectly exposed, sharp, and often centered cheetah in it's enclosure...
Now, being in front of such a scene, what would a "story teller" want to do ?
After evaluating the cheetah's comportment, the visitor's ones, the surroundings, one could want to convey the boredom or the sadness of the animal, another might want to show the relationship between the animal and the visitors, another still might want to show the cheetah daydreaming while staring at impalas in the next compound...
To "say" those different little stories in one unique pictures, technique comes as "writing" tools... Either a framed view of the cheetah yawning in a decentered part of the final picture with out of focus public gathering against the enclosure (the bored "star"), or a "compressed perspective of the same cheetah from two third back, seeming to look at a distant compound (dream of food, original habitat, etc...) !
All depends of the surroundings, the viewpoint possibilities, the story that pop's up in your head... Then, aperture, speed, focal length... And "composition", will come into play to convey in the final print what you thought of as a story !
Of course, the viewer of the picture, might see in it a very different story then the one you tried to convey ! That would be great, as it would mean that each of the viewers would find an "interest" in the picture, finding in it a "quality" (whatever), a meaning, bringing out the "oh's and the ah's...
Another easy way (nowadays) to understand and learn about composition is to crop in a square your pictures in a PP software... Would the square crop be better with the left of the picture or the right, or centered ? What does the two (or three) results show ? Could you give each of them a different titles (i.e. bored, attentive, Acinonyx jubatus, etc..) !
Composition is more like grammar or syntax, it's helpful to be understood, but can be overridden sometimes...

I don't know if this is common but I like to take a lot of shots of the same thing. I go to extremes. I may take several very close twisting the camera all around, some from above, the side below, laying on my side, stomach, back. I may stand close or back way up, shoot wide or zoom. I think you get my point. I take all sorts of pics of the same thing, most eventually being deleted but while looking at all of them I try to figure out which I like the best but also why I like them. I find this practice is helping me a lot. My next idea for practice is going to be the same thing but I am going to add a little red t-rex stuffed animal to every scene and try to see how I can make it work. I even pick things, places and subjects that initially look very boring to see what can be done with them. I find it is not just about taking as many shots as I can but taking a close look at them after and learning from them. Also look at other people pictures to see what they have done take a favorite from someone else's portfolio and roam around trying to find ways to recreate the elements of the shot that you like but also try using elements you don't like effectively. Make sure you have fun but remember growth isn't always easy or fun and working with some of what you like the least can help young row the most. Oops I digress, my martial artist jarhead side is slipping out. Have fun, work smart! Bertotti

like what brian already mentioned..keep taking photos! maybe back in the film days, you might want to be a bit conservative..but with DSLR's, click away, if you dont like it, trash it!
what i started doing and continue to do to help improve my photographs, is i browse other photos, look at the ones i like the best, check their exif data and keep a mental note when i go out on shoots. till this day i do not think i got anything great..its a tough thing to do.
the other thing i find myself continuously doing, is when i am shooting portraits, when i see a change in DOF or sharpness, i check my exif data on my camera, then make adjustments to see if the results get better or worst. at this point i take notes..i have a note section for photographs on my iphone, i title it "Bokeh" "sharpness" and so on, i add different set points and go from there. basically every single time i am taking a shot, i am teaching myself..i pretty much know what each of my lens can do in different situations, i pretty much know what f stop will produce good results in low light settings and with bright settings. i do the same with a speedlight attached to my body or for OCF.
there are so many variables. Each time i think i got a great shot, when i get home and start my PP..i then notice the flaws and again, i take notes as to how i could have improved that photo.
I am not even sure if i will ever be able to get that awesome shot, but in the meantime, i am educating myself and enjoying it all at the same time.

Great suggestions so far. Definitely keep shooting, as Brian says. While reading a book or magazine is great for giving you a foundation of knowledge to call upon, it's practice in the field that helps you gain the actual experience you need to know what you're doing--to "see" the opportunities while looking at a scene or object, and to be able to make the settings decisions necessary to execute your vision.
Also, I like John's suggestion of going to extremes. Keeping within a comfortable method or style is sure to put boundaries on your art or expression. But, doing something different or "extreme" will give you new perspectives and let you see things in a way you hadn't before. Doing this enough will help this approach become more natural and you will automatically start to capture more interesting images.
While I believe that creativity in people varies and this is all very natural to some, I think anyone can train themselves through exercises to improve their compositions. Just knowing some of the rules and techniques--when to use them and when to break them, in what situations--will give you the means to discover these new perspectives.
You can make fun exercises for yourself. On particular days, don't just go out shooting without a plan, but give yourself a task such as shooting just detail, or shooting from a low angle, or making it a point to put your main subject in an extreme corner of the frame, or even not looking for "objects" but looking at everything in terms of lines, shapes or textures. It's amazing what you can see in everyday scenes and objects thinking this way.
Good luck!

Take your time. Find something still that looks interesting to you and fill up your memory card with it. Go home and look at the shoots. Try to pick out what you like about each photo what you don't like. Do it again and again. You will start to make connections as to what you need to do.
#10. "RE: Improving my photographic skills" | In response to Reply # 0
I know for me it is finding what really interests me and developing that interest. I found I naturally gravitated to portraiture. And macro has become interesting.
I know how you feel. I nearly tossed in the towel and quit photography. I got frustrated and even emptied my gallery. But I stopped and realized the only way I was going to become better was to go back to square one and take my time and learn. I think everyone gets to that point at one time or another, no matter what it is.
So I am going to be shooting a lot more. Hey, the images may never be seen by anyone else, but the point is to keep at it. Be willing to suck at composition. Have poorly exposed, poorly framed photos. So what? Who cares? Just keep at it. (I am giving myself a pep talk here too!) I live in a small, boring town. So go out and photograph it. Sooner or later it will come. That image that makes you say to yourself, 'I made that?? Me? Wow!' and then you will feel that wonder and that passion and you'll want to create more.
Wow, now I'm getting chills!

Can women tell if a man will cheat on them just by looking at a photo? Researchers claim there is a 'kernel of truth' in the idea
- Researchers say women based their decision on how masculine person was, rather than how attractive.
- Men were unable to perform the same tasks
Researchers say that women are able to tell just by looking at an unfamiliar male face whether he will cheat on them.
A team at the University of Western Australia showed almost 200 photos to men and women - and found the women were able to spot the love rats more accurately than they expected.
They say the idea women can judge a man's sexual faithfulness just by looking at them has 'a kernel of truth.
The eyes have it: Researchers found women can tell if a man will cheat on them just by looking at him far more accurately than previously thought
The research, published in the journal Biology Letters, studied whether men and women are able to tell just by looking at an unfamiliar male face whether he is 'sexually untrustworthy'
'We routinely form impressions of people from their faces, and these impressions sometimes contain a kernel of truth,' say the team, led by Gillian Rhodes.
'Impressions of trustworthiness are central to interpersonal relationships, but their accuracy remains contentious.'
The researchers showed 34 men and 34 women 189 color photographs of Caucasian faces and asked the participants to rate the faces by level of 'trustworthiness'.
Each of the people photographed gave accounts of their sexual history.
'Women's ratings of men's
unfaithfulness showed small-moderate correlations with men's past
unfaithfulness (cheating, poaching),' say the team.
'We conclude that impressions of sexual faithfulness from faces have a kernel of truth, at least for women, and that they may help people assess the quality of potential mates about whom they have minimal [behavioral] information," the researchers wrote.
Professor Leigh Simmons, Director of UWA's Centre for Evolutionary Biology, said female participants had a much higher strike rate than their male counterparts in accurately choosing whether strangers of the opposite sex were likely to be cheaters.
Women got it wrong 38% of the time compared with men who chose wrongly 77% of the time.
'What was really surprising was that women were able to do that above chance,' Professor Simmons said.
'They were able to look at a face and rate it for faithfulness or unfaithfulness.
'There was a correlation between their ratings for faithfulness and the actual behaviour of the individuals they were rating.
'Now men couldn't do that, or the relationship was much weaker.'
He said the gap may be due to any number of reasons.
The team found that when women looked at men, they judged their likelyhood to cheat on how masculine they look, rather than how attractive they were
'It may be that women have evolved the greater ability to make accurate assessments than men because the costs of making mistakes, for women, are greater,' Professor Simmons said.
'On the other hand, the men were making mistakes a lot.
'One potential reason could be that males of most animals, including humans, tend to be less discriminating of their partners because they have less to lose if that partner is unfaithful.
'Obviously they could end up being cuckolded in human terms, but they don't have all the physiological costs of gestation, child bearing and child rearing that women have.
'And males have greater opportunities for reproducing with other individuals."
The authors said their research provided the first evidence that impressions of unfaithfulness made from the faces of opposite-sex strangers contain a kernel of truth.
They also found a high correlation between attractiveness and perceptions of trustworthiness, with more attractive people judged more likely to be trustworthy.
'There might be some sort of attractiveness halo effect going on there,' Professor Simmons said.
'What was also really interesting is there was no correlation between peoples' rating of sexual faithfulness and trustworthiness.
'So they're obviously very different tasks and people are looking for different things.'
He said even though women might have a radar more finely attuned to unfaithfulness, there was more to relationships than first impressions.
'We don't go into relationships based just on those sorts of visual cues.
'We have long periods of courtships and we get to know individuals and learn more about them than your first impressions might convey.
'Nevertheless we make errors even then.'

"A fool and his words are soon parted."
"A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood."
-- English poet William Shenstone
Lovie Smith and Charlie Weis are neither fools nor liars. Not in the literal sense of the words. But they were foolish for deceiving their team's fan bases when they each uttered phrases that may turn out to be the epitaphs of their current lives as head coaches.
Charlie Weis is the rare kind of college coach. He let his star safety Tom Zbikowski train for a professional boxing match. He allowed a precocious high school senior, Jimmy Clausen, to show up to his signing-day news conference looking and acting like a tween pop star announcing a new world tour. Weis isn't afraid to show some personality, and that's a good thing, most of the time.
But his early boasting that his teams would have a "decided schematic advantage" with him aboard has become his "I am not a crook" moment. Nixon was a crook, and Weis' schematic advantages have accounted for a 4-0 record against Stanford.
After watching Notre Dame get beat by Navy for the second time in three years, angry Irish fans must be wondering when this supposed advantage is going to show itself. Year 6? Year 12?
The small-town, Texas-born Smith is much more mellow. He takes a lot of heat for his drawling, boring news conferences in which he goes out of his way to say nothing of consequence. Smith rarely rips his players in public, even when they deserve it. But even Smith has had some past words come back to bite him recently as football writers have reminded fans what Smith said almost three years ago when he essentially canned defensive coordinator Ron Rivera after the defense carried the Bears to the Super Bowl.
"You should trust me as a head football coach to put us in the best position to win football games," Smith said at the time. "It's as simple as that."
Smith promoted his buddy Bob Babich to the job, and demoted him before this season back to linebackers coach. Smith took over as coordinator and things looked pretty good until the bye hit. Since then, the defense has handcuffed only the Cleveland Browns, which isn't a feat to put on your résumé.
Neither of these quotes was particularly bold, even in hindsight. But they are so telling, so comedically ironic, it's tough to dismiss them.
Smith and Weis are coming off a bad weekend. The Naval Academy and the Arizona Cardinals are talented teams, no doubt, but both the Irish and the Bears were home favorites (Notre Dame big, Bears small) to win, and by all rights, should have put themselves in the position to win those games. But they didn't.
Both coaches have seemingly worn out their welcome among rabid fan bases. While Smith isn't seemingly on the hot seat, it's likely that the cognoscenti in charge of Notre Dame will start brainstorming Weis replacements, at least informally.
Arguably the two biggest coaches in the Midwest (outside of perhaps Columbus and Ann Arbor), Smith and Weis are seemingly headed to the same end that most coaches face: public firing squad followed by a public firing. It's inhumane, unsophisticated, and most of the time unfair. The kind of character assassination that goes on when a coach is weak, wounded and vulnerable is often ham-handed and rude. But that's the way these things work, and for guys like Smith and Weis, there is always the monetary comfort of being an unemployed coach. You don't see too many beefy guys stuffed into Bike shorts in line for unemployment checks.
So, who has it worse right now? Given the difficulty of prepping a bad defense for a well-executed triple-option offense, losing to Navy isn't as great of a crime as one might think, but it's an anathema, as far as Irish backers are concerned. As Weis readies to face a tough Pittsburgh team and Smith's Bears travel for a Thursday night date in San Francisco, it's worth examining the statuses of these beleaguered coaches.
Waiting in the wings: Whenever a coach is on the hot seat, talk turns to his potential replacements. It's easy to fall in love with someone else when you hate the one you're with. Weis' lack of big-game victories has cast a negative pall over South Bend, especially with the stink of 2007 still fresh. Weis has proved to be a top-notch recruiter of elite talent, but his defenses have been lackluster and his teams haven't been able to beat ranked teams. His first-year defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta needs more time to jell with the players he has and the young talent he'll be getting, but has time already run out on this regime?
The top name on the replacement list is Urban Meyer, but even though he's expressed serious interest in the idea of being Notre Dame coach, there is no concrete evidence he'd leave his gold mine in Gainesville. Aside from Meyer, the coach amassing the most buzz is Cincinnati's Brian Kelly. The 48-year-old coach spent 13 years at Division II Grand Valley State, amassing a 118-35-2 record. He inherited a bogus program at Central Michigan, and by his third year, made the Chippewas into a conference champion. In his first full season at Cincinnati, he was named the conference coach of the year, and in his second, he took the Bearcats to a BCS bowl. Now he's undefeated and riding high. Kelly is experienced and he has shown ability to build programs, and most importantly, keep improving on his foundation.
Notre Dame fans and boosters are going to be Kelly green with envy if he goes somewhere else this season and succeeds. Weis is still inked through 2015, thanks to the idiotic, irresponsible decision to give him a new 10-year deal seven games into his first season. Still, rich boosters often pay for the excising of college coaches. There hasn't been a public uprising of that nature yet, aside from the caustic billboard that briefly caused a stir when a football alumni group put it up this summer.
Smith, like every foundering coach, has a Greek chorus of successful, unemployed coaches hanging over him. Bill Cowher and Mike Shanahan are the two names you literally heard fans screaming for at the Bears' debacle of a loss to Arizona this past Sunday. Cowher's mustache and Steelers street cred make him a favorite, while Shanahan's familiarity with Jay Cutler and Chicago roots (East Leyden High School in Franklin Park, Ill.) make him a contender as well.
Lucky for Lovie, though, he has $11 million owed to him for the final two years of his deal, and unless there is a complete nuclear meltdown in the last eight games, the prevailing notion is the McCaskey family wouldn't pay that money and even bigger bucks to a famous coach. Even with Cowher's proud, Ditka-esque mustache.
Disadvantage goes to ... Weis. His Super Bowl appearance should earn Smith at least another season, and he's tied in with general manager Jerry Angelo, who also has years remaining on his deal. They'll both be gone one day, but it's not right now. Offensive coordinator Ron Turner can't be too comfortable, though.
Weis will have significant heat on him by January, especially if the Irish lose this weekend.
Coach's corner: Never has a name earned so much scorn in a city as "Lovie." Bears fans do not love Lovie. Not anymore. His name is spit out with derision and sarcasm. Sadly, his exterior news conference/sideline personality does nothing to "fire up" football fans, a loose aggregation of like-minded, jersey-wearing adults who want to see fire and brimstone from their football coach, because that's how Mike Ditka did it, and he's the current archetype for what a successful coach is supposed to look like. Smith's careful, guarded personality does not resonate with fans, even though that even-keeled approach is probably best for such a mercurial job.
No matter what anyone says to the contrary, I'll never believe that Weis wasn't hired because he's an Irish Catholic Notre Dame grad. Sure he had the shiny Super Bowl ring, but he was part of the culture at Notre Dame. But he's not a company man in that he didn't see the need to kowtow to history or conventions. He's a football coach, not a cheerleader. Weis reportedly alienated himself early from some factions, and while he's impressed everyone with his recruiting, it's hard to get a foothold with your fan base when you barely beat winning teams. Weis is 1-10 against teams that finish a season in the top 25. Notre Dame fans are proud, vocal and fully identify with their university. They won't be afraid to demand a change, and that time is coming, and unlike Bears fans who just buy tickets and jerseys, rich Notre Dame fans can demand a change with their checkbooks.
A month ago, Zbikowski related to me how tough the Notre Dame players have it, with such heavy burdens placed on their developing necks. But in the same breath, he reiterated that's why you go there, to have a chance for greatness. College players are too young to openly defy a coach, so there's little worry about an insurrection. Plus, Weis has some NFL ties, as you may have heard.
Smith is well-liked in the locker room because he treats his players like men, and he doesn't blow up for the heck of it, or torch them in the media. But given that he's taken the role of defensive coordinator, it's jarring how bad the defense has played in the last two losses. Maybe the loss of Tommie Harris had a lot to do with it, seeing as he missed all but four plays of the Bengals and Cardinals games, but the 86 points the teams hung on the Bears (60-plus in the first halves alone) tell a story of what kind of connection he has with his defense.
Disadvantage goes to ...Smith. It'll take a miracle for the Bears to turn this season around and make the playoffs. Weis has it easy in that he's his own GM. He picks the players he coaches. Smith doesn't have that power, and aside from Cutler, Angelo's recent track record is spotty at best. If you're wondering why the defense is so awful (almost 400 yards rushing allowed in the Bears' past two losses), check out this sad rundown of the team's declining defense.
The future: Weis lands more four-star recruits than Hugh Hefner, but great teenage talent isn't enough. His Irish teams have been lacking depth and identity for a few years, since the Ty Willingham classes left. But doesn't he deserve a little more time to see his classes mature? I've written a great deal about Weis in the past two months, and while I have little faith that he'll turn Notre Dame into a perennial power no matter how long he's in charge, I think he should get another year or two to improve his lot.
Look at the coach of this week's opponent, Dave Wannstedt. Wanny left Chicago a broken-down, verbally challenged mess. When he got hired at Pitt, he didn't exactly work wonders on the field, losing to my alma mater, Ohio University, in the fall of 2005, and his record isn't sterling. Like Weis, he recruited pretty well (Who wouldn't want Wanny chilling in their living room?), but it didn't show on the field. The light bulb came on recently for Wanny, and now Pitt is a Top-10 team and has produced some NFL talent, like LeSean "Shady" McCoy and this year's freshman running sensation Dion Lewis. Patience still is a virtue.
Smith will undoubtedly get at least another year to try to build a winner around Jay Cutler. The defense has been wracked by injuries and the offensive line by ineffectiveness. But Smith deserves the lion's share of blame, because he's the boss. The Bears have looked god-awful since the break, and their ability to make in-game adjustments hasn't materialized, or hasn't worked. Take your pick. If he stays, I'd bet that Turner is gone, and Smith hires someone to coach his defense. Angelo has traded away first-round and second-round picks (But hey, you get only one shot to trade a second-round pick for Gaines Adams), so Smith is going to need a lot of luck, and some important decisions, to keep his job after next season.
Disadvantage goes to ... Smith. As mediocre as his Notre Dame career has been, Weis just needs a big win or two to shut up his detractors. He keeps attracting star players anyway. Smith needs to overhaul his entire roster, and he's got a GM moving closer to a hot seat as well. He could easily be made a scapegoat in 2010.
We should wish both coaches luck this week and through the rest of 2009. They're going to need it, no matter what they say.

Spain House Prices May Fall 52% in Economic Stress, Moody's Says
Spanish house prices may decline as much as 52 percent in a period of economic stress, according to Moody's Investors Service.
The forecast decline is based on a model combining factors such as homes price increases in the last 10 years and unemployment rates, analysts including London-based Nitesh Shah said in a June 6 note. U.K. home prices are the second most at risk in Europe, facing the prospect of a 42 percent drop.
The house-price stress rate is among elements the New York-based rating company used to update its methodology assessing residential mortgage-backed securities transactions in Europe. A total 27 transactions face negative rating actions as a result of the changes, the company said in a separate statement.

Golden Sun: The Lost Age Tips
Now, you all know about the rusty weapons, right? But there is one more: the Soul Brand, a Longsword with +141 Attack and an unleash, Soul Shatter. To find it, you have to have Grind(for Gondowan Cliffs) and Hover. You also need to complete Jupiter Lighthouse(pretty self-explanatory). Now go to Atteka Inlet. Sail directly west when you come out. When you reach a circular reef, fly over it and look in the middle. There should be a Rusty Sword. Get it fixed and what do you know, it's the Soul Brand!
