PHILADELPHIA -- Just about midnight Tuesday morning, after his team had turned into a pumpkin for a second straight week, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid declared that his offense is "off by just a hair."
If that's the case, Reid might want to invest in a 55-gallon drum of Rogaine, because the follicle growth spurt the Philadelphia offense appears to require is usually witnessed only on one of those
late-night television infomercials.
As the Cleveland Browns demonstrated last Sunday, throwing dirt on any offense at this point of the campaign is a premature burial exercise. But the Eagles had better break out the shovels soon if they are to quickly exhume their playoff aspirations.
For the first time since 2003, the Eagles have started
0-2, and much of the culpability lies with an offense that has fallen on hard times.
The Philadelphia defense has played admirably, surrendering just 36 points and 552 yards in two games. But the offense clearly hasn't held up its end. The headline in the Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday morning read simply, "No Offense," with the accent on the first syllable of the second word.
"I don't know," said standout wide receiver Reggie Brown when queried on the seemingly myriad problems of an offense that has eked out only one touchdown so far in 2007. "Maybe it's physics."
As wacky as that explanation sounded, it might be appropriate because the Eagles definitely appear to be overwhelmed by gravity through two contests. This is an offense that has yet to get off the ground, and one in which quarterback Donovan McNabb is definitely struggling to find some semblance of rhythm.
In defeats at Green Bay in the season opener and to the Washington Redskins here Monday night, the Philadelphia offense has had 21 possessions. That excludes two series in which Philadelphia gained possession with less than one minute remaining in either the first half or in the game. On those 21 possessions, the unit has scored seven times.
Unfortunately, six of the scores, including all four on Monday night, came on David Akers field goals. Two of those field goals on Monday concluded long drives of 10 and 13 snaps, possessions on which the Eagles had moved inside the Washington 10-yard line. Another long drive, of 12 plays, ended on downs when Washington rookie strong safety LaRon Landry knocked away a pass intended for wide receiver Kevin Curtis inside the Washington 5-yard line on Philadelphia's final, frustrating play of the night.
A touchdown on that series would have given Philadelphia the chance to extend the game into overtime with a two-point conversion. But for now at least, touchdowns are about as hard to find in Philadelphia as a registered Republican voter. Not counting drives in which the Eagles got the ball with less than a minute to play in a half or the game, Philadelphia has gone 17 possessions without a touchdown, a stretch of six quarters.
"I guess," said Curtis, whose great speed was supposed to provide the Eagles a long-ball dimension, "that qualifies as a drought. It is a long time, especially when you have the kind of talent we do. We just haven't been very consistent for most series. You know, a mistake on one thing one series, a mistake on something else the next [possession]. It all adds up, you know?"
Not to points, it doesn't. The 25 points scored by the Eagles represent the fewest for the franchise in the first two games of a season since 2003.
On its 21 possessions, the offense has had 11 series that lasted six snaps or fewer, including eight three-and-out sequences. Fifteen of the possessions netted two first downs or fewer, and 13 produced either one or no first downs. The Eagles have had nine possessions that spanned three minutes or more, but five of those resulted in only field goals.
There is plenty of blame, particularly in the passing game, to spread around.
McNabb, who played sparingly in the preseason as he completed his rehabilitation from anterior cruciate ligament surgery, has experienced some bouts of glaring inaccuracy. That was evident Monday night, when he bounced some balls short of receivers, and then was wide by 5 yards on a pass intended for a wide-open Curtis on a simple out route in the fourth quarter. His receivers have dropped some balls and haven't added many yards after the catch. There have been breakdowns in protection as opposition defenses, sensing correctly that McNabb isn't as mobile as he once was, are blitzing more.
But if there is one deficiency that stands out more than any other, it's that the Philadelphia passing attack hasn't been very aggressive.
It's hard to put the ball in the end zone when you don't throw it there, and on Monday night, the Eagles threw only two passes into or through the end zone. One was a throwaway, when McNabb intentionally unloaded to avoid a sack, and the other was a long overthrow. In two games, McNabb has 43 completions, but 33 of them have been for 10 yards or fewer, and 15 have been for 6 yards or fewer.
The team's leading receiver Monday night was tailback Brian Westbrook, who had eight catches, many of them on third-down checkdowns when the Washington secondary backed off and McNabb opted to throw the ball underneath. Deep threat Curtis, who caught two balls for 53 yards in the opener, averaged a measly 7 yards on four receptions against the Redskins. In general, it seems, the Eagles aren't throwing the ball to the sticks on third down. In the loss at Green Bay, for instance, McNabb four times threw to Westbrook on third-down plays in which the yardage required was 5 yards or more.
Said one Washington defender late Monday night: "Watching tape, they seemed to take a lot of the safe throws [in the Green Bay game], and they sort of did the same thing tonight."
At 0-2, though, Reid, McNabb and assistant head coach Marty Mornhinweg, who essentially runs the offense, might have to remove the safety wheels to get Philadelphia moving forward. Whatever the solution, the Eagles need to locate it pretty quickly.
Or find some magic elixir that sprouts the hair Reid was talking about.

EPA: Dallas-based Luminant Produces a Hell of A Lot of Greenhouse Gas, And So Does Fracking
ZUMA Ralph Lauer/ZUMAPRESS.com
The Environmental Protection Agency -- that scourge of freedom-loving Texans -- just released a nifty little interactive greenhouse-gas database that will almost certainly threaten your liberty, the free market and the Second Amendment, somehow.
For starters, the data it compiled indicates Dallas-based electricity generator Luminant plays second fiddle to only one other utility in America when it comes to sheer volume. Its Martin Lake plant due east of here is the third most prolific emitter of greenhouse gases. Some 18.5 million metric tons of carbon-dioxide equivalent in 2011, to be exact. The Monticello plant in Mount Pleasant gets a participation medal for its 13 million tons.
More interesting, though, were the data pertaining to greenhouse gas emissions associated with oil and gas production. This is the first time the agency has included the category in its inventory, and, as it turns out, it's the second biggest source of greenhouse gas in the country.
The emissions figures, which cover the entire life-cycle of oil and gas, from production at the wellhead to transmission through gathering lines and main lines, don't seem like much until you start adding up all the facilities in North Texas' Barnett Shale: WPX Energy's facility near Trophy Club, which churned out the equivalent of 192,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide 2011; Devon Energy's facility near Lake Ray Roberts chipped in 615,000 metric tons, just to name a couple.

This will almost certainly enter the debate over natural gas' greenhouse contributions. As a low-carbon form of energy, some say it's the way forward, the bridge fuel between oil and renewable energy. A few researchers have thrown cold buckets of water on the idea because the greenhouse gases released throughout the process may negate whatever climate benefit natural gas holds.
It's a problem that can largely be engineered away by building equipment that minimizes leakages, but that hasn't happened yet.

Mack Maine speaks on Tha Carter IV, explaining the new date of June 21st, and some "big features" with "a certain group" that you wouldn't expect to see Wayne work with. Our guess? The cast of Glee, doing a cover of "Bohemain Rhapsody", heh.
maybe the top 11 from american idol
Yawn… This album is gonna suck (but will have dope verses from Eminem & Jay-Z and a few really hot beats)and gonna sell platinum in the first week… Wayne please go away!!!
Slaughterhouse is my guess. Or Rebecca Black.
It's gonna go platnuim fo sure, but I don't think the numbers will reflect the quality of the album. I'm hoping for some good ish but I agree with Dayz this is gonna have some hot beats and some nice versus from the guests on this album.
it'll go platinum for sure.. i def agree and he always has super interesting and unexpected featurings

Milwaukee Music Video: See the eye-popping treatment for Dana Coppafeel & SPEAK Easy's latest single
A couple of months ago, local filmmaker Xavier Ruffin released one of the most visually arresting, made-in-Milwaukee music videos of the year: Klassik's partially-animated "Anything" video. Now Ruffin's done it again with a jawdropping treatment for Dana Coppafeel and SPEAK Easy's "One of These Kids." The catchy single, featuring Milwaukee's premiere rapper Prophetic, will appear on "Dana Coppafeel & SPEAK Easy," an EP that'll be released by local label Uni-Fi Records this spring.
A whole lot of "how'd they do that" moments in this video. I won't spoil anything. Just watch (but be forewarned, some f-bombs probably doesn't make it suitable for work). »Read Full Blog Post

Filmed on October 13, 2011, at "Pivot: AIGA Design Conference"
Designers of all kinds are key players in the game of change that so
typifies the opening decades of the 21st century. Called on to imagine,
build, guide, demystify, explain, provoke, enable and inspire, we deal
daily in the currency of transformation—of places, practices and
perspectives. For this designer, play has become a key strategy in
developing a design practice that is agile enough to entertain a
constant need for transformative thinking but substantive enough to
throw its strategic weight around when needed. This talk will delve into
the power of game design and play to challenge expectations, retool
one's practice, and amplify design's potential as drivers of innovation
and change in some rather unusual places.
Katie Salen is a game designer and professor of games and digital media
at DePaul University. She also serves as the executive director of the Institute of Play, a nonprofit focused on games and learning. Salen led
the team that founded Quest to Learn (Q2L), a sixth- through
twelfth-grade public school in New York City organized around principles
of game design and play. Q2L is expanding to Chicago this fall. As the
lead designer of the school, she led development of the school's
pedagogical vision and research agenda. Salen is co-author of Rules of Play, a textbook on game design, The Game Design Reader, and editor of The Ecology of Games: Connecting Youth, Games, and Learning,
all from MIT Press. She was an early advocate of the then-hidden world
of machinima, and continues to be interested in connections between game
design, learning and transformative modes of play.
In 2011, AIGA's biennial design conference drew more than 1,500
designers, educators and students to Phoenix for "Pivot," a three-day conference focused on the changing nature of the design industry. Watch videos from the event here.

I need to update my blog but have nothing much to say. :P So I was thinking it would be fun to have some cute/funny questions I could ask dd and put the questions and answers on my blog. I've seen it done before and loved it. Any ideas?
Cute/funny questions to ask a 6 year old...
I just realized what I said may not make much sense. lol You remember the show with Bill Cosby.."Kids Say The Darndest Things" where he asks the kids questions and they give such cute and funny answers? That's kinda what I'm lookin for. Questions to ask that will bring out some fun answers from a 6 year old.
I think asking them about anything would be fun and just jotting down what they say. And then do the same thing again a year from now. Or even a month from now some of the answers could change.
Ask them anything!
Fav color, fav food, fav toy, fav friend, fav thing to do...have fun with it! great idea!
I'd ask How and Why questions like:
How do you think peanut butter is made?
Why do you think the sky is blue?
How does a tomato grow?
How do you think shows get onto the TV?
What do you think The Wiggles do when they're not on TV?
Good luck!
K, so I asked dd several questions and I'm going to put it on blog. :D She cracks me up.
Why do you think the sky is blue? Because Heavenly Father made it blue to make people happy. Blue skies make me happy.
How do you think peanut butter is made? With peanuts. They probably put jelly in it and brown stuff in it. Oh and then they mix peanuts in it too.
How do you think shows get onto TV? Mom, it's electric. They use electric cords and different electric stuff to make shows.
Why do you think Heavenly Father sent you to this family? Because I was so cute so he wanted to send me to a cute family.
What does daddy do at work? I don't know...but it's probably a lot like school. It's probably boring, but it might be fun sometimes too. I'll ask daddy when he gets home. Daddy makes money at work and we buy food with it and everything we need. Daddy is a good daddy.
What does mommy do? You try to clean up and do laundry. You clean a lot. You do a very good job. Oh and you have fun with us too.
How does a tomato grow? With water and sun and magic!
What do you want to be when you grow up? A rock star and a mommy. I'll be a mommy in the day time and a rock star at night. I really bad want to be a mommy.
What do you do when you are married? You clean up all of the kids messes. You have to do tons of laundry. And you give your husband kisses.
What do you think Heaven is like? You get food there like grapes, apples, oranges, and watermelon. You eat a lot when you're in Heaven because you've been dead and you are probably really hungry from being dead. Oh, and Jesus fixes you. You can see Jesus again.
Why does the Tooth Fairy take your teeth when you lose them? Well, I think she takes them into her tooth shop and old people probably go to the tooth shop and buy all of the kids teeth since they have none. I've lost 4 teeth now. Mom! Do you think my teeth I lost are in old people's mouths now?!
Who do you want to be like when you grow up? You, because you are a mommy and I want to be a really good mommy like you. But I don't want to only have 3 kids. I want to have 10.
You can also ask questions about either your or your DH. Like, what is mommy's favorite color, how tall is mommy, etc. Those are always fun ones. I will see if I can find my list and cut and paste it here for you to use, in case you want to.
And I love her answers-so sweet!
Mama of 5!
From my 6 year old dd:
Why do you think the sky is blue? Because the sun burned some of the clouds.
How do you think peanut butter is made? You squish nuts.
How do you think shows get onto TV? You film then and they go onto TV by practicing more and more and more.
Why do you think God sent you to this family? Because my parents named my last name (our last name).
What does daddy do at work? He does important stuff and yada, yada, yada. (note that "yada, yada, yada" was an exact quote)
What does mommy do? She does snow storms and she does earthquakes and she does trips sometimes and she does - what do you do? (I'm a disaster planner so she's pretty right about what I do)
How does a tomato grow? You plant them and they grow for like 6 years I guess.
What do you want to be when you grow up? I want to be a singer.
What do you do when you are married? You get a job and you get married and then you get a baby and you name it.
What do you think Heaven is like? Granny and Nanna watch me on TV in heaven.
Why does the Tooth Fairy take your teeth when you lose them? Because it is for their collection and then they give you coins and sometimes dollars.
Who do you want to be like when you grow up? Hannah Montana.
When my 3 year old gets home from school I'll ask her too...
So cute Tess!! Oh man, I would love to ask my 3 year old (4 next month) but he just doesn't have the vocab or understanding to answer the questions. He's behind developmentally. Darn...I bet he'd have some pretty funny things to say!! :)
I was filling out one of those getting to know you sheets with dd now that she's in Primary (she's 3). One of the questions was:
What do you want to be when you grow up? She responded, "A chef!" then a couple seconds later said, "actually, maybe I just want to cross the road."

You?d wonder how insanity involving cocks would manifest itself when you read the title Girls Gone Cock Crazy 2, just interested in what they?d do to satisfy that mental imbalance. If you guessed fucking and sucking a lot of cock, you?d be right.
There?s a whole lot of no-nonsense sex here, and that?s just fine, actually. Sometimes it?s fun to just watch a girl get fucked hard, like the first scene involving Gia Paloma, who looks positively jubilant to be getting porked as hard as she is.
Missy Monroe, too, looks pretty damn hot riding a cock, legs spread wide open and taking it reverse cowgirl style, to her obvious delight.
This is a fine release from start to finish. There?s no flash, just a lot of substance, and that?s what?s missing from a lot of features these days.

Ford Taps European Style
Small Cars Are to Roll From 3 Truck Plants; Nissan Looks at Costs
Ford Motor Co. F -0.14 % plans to transform three North American truck plants to build small cars developed originally for European markets, according to people briefed about the company's intentions.
The move, expected to be announced as part of Ford's second-quarter earnings report Thursday, is an attempt to increase production of passenger cars in North America in response to this year's rise in gasoline prices.
Once its plants have been retooled, the U.S. auto maker would be able to use a common base to build its next generation of passenger cars, many of which originated in Europe. The global platform is now used to produce the European Focus subcompact, the Ford Kuga crossover and the Ford C-Max small wagon.
Ford officials Tuesday declined to detail the company's plans. "We won't comment on speculation on what we may or may not announce in advance, but we look forward to sharing details on Thursday," said Ford spokeswoman Anne Marie Gattari.
The European models share basic components that make up the underpinnings of a vehicle, known as a platform in the industry. Eventually Ford, of Dearborn, Mich., would use this common platform to build other vehicles in the U.S., including the next-generation Ford Focus and Ford Escape crossover. Other plans include combining its current North American midsize sedan, the Fusion, and its European counterpart, the Mondeo, into a single vehicle.
Nissan Weighs Buyouts
Separately, Nissan Motor Co. NSANY 4.40 % is looking at ways of cutting costs, possibly including more worker buyouts, in reaction to the downturn in U.S. auto sales, a senior executive said Tuesday. A year ago, Nissan eliminated about 300 factory jobs in the U.S. through early-retirement and buyout offers.
William Krueger, Nissan's head of manufacturing in the Americas, said the auto maker is waiting to see sales results for July before deciding if and how it should move to trim costs further. "We have to be flexible," Mr. Krueger said on the sidelines of a ceremony in Franklin, Tenn., to open Nissan's new North American headquarters.
Mr. Krueger said Nissan has no immediate plan to reduce its work force but acknowledged it may consider doing so if the market's down trend continues.
Nissan's chief executive, Carlos Ghosn, who also attended the opening of the new Tennessee site, said the auto industry faces a global slowdown, now that European auto sales are starting to decline and sales growth in China is moderating.
"We are heading into a global slowdown," Mr Ghosn said in a brief interview. "It's almost a perfect storm."
The U.S., the world's largest market by vehicle sales, has been the industry's main trouble spot. But in the past few months sales have been trending down in many major western European countries. Sales growth in China appears to be moderating now that the government has removed some controls on fuel prices, Mr. Ghosn said.
Mr. Ghosn added the global slump could prompt auto makers to seek more alliances or possibly mergers. "I think there will be consolidation," he said.
Changes at Ford
At Ford, the change in platform strategy comes as the auto maker moves to reduce its work force by measures beyond deep cuts already made in recent years. Ford announced Monday it will extend its plant-by-plant buyout program to 14 more facilities in Michigan and Ohio as it looks to further reduce its payroll.
The global-platform concept has become a hallmark of Ford Chief Executive Alan Mulally's plan to turn around the auto maker, which had a loss of $15.3 billion for 2006 and 2007 and is expected to post a substantial loss in the second quarter of this year.
The move would signal a seismic shift for Ford's U.S. production -- which is scheduled years in advance -- away from trucks and sport-utility vehicles and toward passenger cars. At its Michigan Truck Plant in Wayne, where the auto maker currently assembles the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator, the facility would be retooled to produce the new European line of small cars, according to people familiar with the company strategy. The remaining SUV production there would be transferred to the Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant in Louisville, where the company currently builds Ford F-250 and F-550 Super Duty pickup trucks, those people said.
At its Louisville Assembly Plant, where the auto maker builds Ford Explorers, the company intends to build small passenger cars from its global platform, according to these people.
The retooling of U.S. plants dovetails with an announcement in May that Ford plans to overhaul a truck plant in Mexico to make the Fiesta hatchback for the U.S. market.
Together, the production shifts mark a radical change for an auto maker once defined by its Ford Explorer and flagship F-series pickup. It also marks a likely departure from its dependence on the sales of its trucks and SUVs that historically offer high profit margins. Hurt by the slumping economy, auto sales in recent months have fallen to lows not seen since the early 1990s. And with gasoline more than $1 a liter in the U.S., consumers are flocking to small cars and abandoning the trucks and sport-utility vehicles the Big Three rely on for most of their North American revenue.

This is the one place at High Point Market where you will find a collection of product across all categories, all produced in the USA," said Julie Messner, IMC vice president/leasing, which runs the Suites at Market Square.
The market runs from October 19 to 24, in High Point, NC.

50th Anniversary Concert at Celtic Connections
The 50th Anniversary Concert at Celtic Connections on January 20th got the 1966/2016 Year of club celebration off to an International start with a memorable series of performances by members past and present before a huge audience packed into the Old Fruitmarket concert venue in Glasgow. Armagh Pipers Club led groups such as Lunasa, Flook and Buille were joined by a galaxy of virtuosi performers such as Jarlath Henderson and Tiarnan O Duinnchinn on uilleann pipes, Jarlath also sang, Leo McCann accordion, Barry Kerr guitar, flute and vocals, Niall Murphy fiddle who were joined by three current club members Méabh Smyth and Mairead Mitchell on fiddles and Eoin Murphy accordion. With the three groups performing as the concert catalysts, joined from time to time by the various soloists, a wonderful constantly changing and innovative performance unfolded as the night went on. The stage was dominated by a huge screen charting the development of the club over the past 50 years in images of young musicians beginning their music careers as 7 or 8 year olds right through to seeing some of them performing decades later that night on the stage. It was a night of celebration too for the many current and past members and parents who travelled from all over Ireland and Britain to the concert – a night tinged with nostalgia and sadness as well as images of deceased members appeared on screen in happier days.

The loses in Wisconsin never should have happened. I'm asking the question:
Where was the Occupy movement? Did they vote?
I've seen comments in site after site where OWS supporters trash Democrats with even more vitriol than we hear from Republicans. And worst of all, they claim the only way to get their point across is to NOT vote for Democrats … to punish Obama and the Dems for caving into Republicans, or being the same as Republicans. We need to ask ourselves, "is this what happened in Wisconsin?"
We thought OWS wanted the same things Democrats want. We thought we saw growing support for Democrats, just as we did in the Wisconsin labor protests. Sadly, we were wrong. Its time for Democrats to openly admit the obvious fact that
As I posted on the May 1st International Workers Day General Strike, the OWS site was still using their false equivalency bullshit saying:
While American corporate media has focused on yet another stale election between Wall Street-financed candidates …
Nonsense. Obama's not responsible for the Republican-leaning Supreme Court's decision on campaign financing (Citizen's United). Expecting his campaign to refuse the millions they will need to defeat Republicans funded by billionaires is childish fantasy.
Here's a perfect example of OWS hatred for all things Democrat: In this post by Mother Jones, Why Occupy Should Be The Left's Tea Party, I tried (unsuccessfully) to convince the readers that they would be guaranteeing a Republican sweep by deliberately refusing to vote with Dems. Imagine a Republican White House, Republican majorities in the House and Senate, joined by the right-leaning Supreme Court and all but guaranteeing Republican nominees for future Supreme Court vacancies. They do not care! They preach anarchy and being militant. They claim to want change, but if you hate everyone on both sides, who will work with you for change?
In MoJo, and many other sites, I've seen comments like these:
Even though I want what OCCUPY, MOVE ON, and Progressives all want, I will not waste time with them, until a large percentage of them become militants. Only fools and cowards believe that America's plutocracy and fascist military machine can be changed let alone defeated, without blood. Anytime in history and around the world today, and terror and tyranny are replaced with justice and liberty, blood flows.
Both parties the Democrats and the Republicans are 100% identical, absolutely no difference what so ever, they are empty shells waiting to be filled with candidates. Who those candidates are, will define both political parties, who selects the candidates will define define both political parties, by the time the election happens the people have already lost and the corporations have already won.
Democrats DO fear what Occupy can do – deplete Obama and the corporate Democrats of their all-volunteer unpaid even in this recession army, encourage would-be Dem voters to organize for something substantial and forget voting, send them into the streets instead
Ultimately, OWS is right to fear being co-opted by Obama supporters. Card carrying Obama supporters necessarily ignore all of the horrible disgusting policies implemented by his administration.
Having attended the May Day rally in New York and been gratified that the liberal stench that clung to so many of the earlier OWS events seems to have dissipated, I think there is very little risk of anyone who matters giving a flying fuck what Mother Jones thinks Phase 2 should be.
Occupy and the class struggle to which it has given voice are far from dead. The bullshit call on the whole racket is just starting. The Democrats are in for a rough ride.
YOU dumb asses are in for a rough ride. You think you had to worry about Bush/Cheney? Romney's advisers are the same Neo-Cons from the Bush/Cheney administration that lied us into war! Republican control of all branches of government will be the closest thing to a police state we've ever had. They won't put-up with protests. They have been privatizing prisons across the country. For Romney and his pals, its PROFIT over PEOPLE. Locking up OWS protesters would be immensely PROFITABLE!
My fellow Democrats, its time to face the facts. OWS does not support Democrats. They have been very clear about that. We can't rely on them in November. They are not our allies. Its time to stop kissing their asses and start focusing on alternatives.

Saw Keltavious Jones at the game tonight
We might see some roster moves here pretty soon
Great googly moogly, Heisey, Cozart, and Rosales are just tearing the cover off of the ball.
Seriously, at this point, what does Rosales have to do to get called up?
Early May, if he continues his hot streak. I'm guessing Gonzalez, should he continue to struggle, would be DL'ed with Janish taking over at SS. Rosales would play some SS and give the infield a blow, a la Keppinger in 07.
I'd love to see if he could also play LF and RF. RF to give Bruce a break occasionally against a tough southpaw and LF as an ersatz platoon partner with Dickerson.

Treasury 10-Year Yield Rises From 1-Week Low on Fed Speculation
Treasuries fell, pushing the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up from a one-week low, before a speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke that may help gauge the outlook for monetary stimulus.
U.S. debt had rallied since Vice Chairman Janet Yellen, in her confirmation hearing Nov. 14 to be the next Fed chairman, said she'll ensure stimulus isn't removed too soon. The central bank will release minutes of its October meeting tomorrow. Treasuries extended losses as Coca-Cola Femsa SAB, the largest bottler of the soft drink in Latin America, sold $2.15 billion of bonds, according to a person familiar with the offering.
"There is some risk premium being built in as the market is still waiting to see what Bernanke might say tonight and we still have the FOMC minutes tomorrow," said Thomas di Galoma, head of U.S. rates sales at ED&F Man Capital Markets in New York. "The unexpected announcement of the Coca-Cola deal is weighing on the Treasury market some as more bond supply is entering a somewhat undecided and quiet market."
U.S. 10-year yields rose four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 2.71 percent as of 5:06 p.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. Yields fell earlier to 2.66 percent, the least since Nov. 8. The price of the 2.75 percent note due in November 2023 fell 11/32, or $3.44 per $1,000 face amount, to 100 3/8.
Yield Moves
After sending 10-year Treasury yields more than a percentage point higher from their 2013 low by fueling taper expectations in May and June, Fed officials are weighing when to reduce debt purchases that have swelled the central bank's balance sheet to a record $3.91 trillion.
Treasuries due in 10 years and longer have lost 9.5 percent this year through yesterday, according to Bloomberg World Bond Indexes. Those maturing between one- and three years returned 0.4 percent, the indexes show.
Investors in Treasuries were long for the first time in four weeks ending yesterday, betting that the prices of the securities will rise, according to a survey by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The proportion of net longs was at seven percentage points, according to JPMorgan. The percent of outright longs, or bets the securities will rise in value, rose to 26 percent from 19 percent the previous week in the biggest increase since July 1. The percent of outright shorts dropped to 19 percent from 25.
Investors cut neutral bets to 55 percent from 56 percent, the survey reported.
Fed View
"There's the potential for some action from the Fed in December, but our base assumption is that they wait until the first quarter of 2014," said Ian Lyngen, a government-bond strategist at CRT Capital Group LLC in Stamford, Connecticut.
The difference between five- and 10-year yields was 1.35 percentage points, after reaching 1.37 percentage points on Nov. 14, the most since August 2011, as investors bet Yellen will keep short-term rates low.
U.S. 10-year yields will rise to 2.90 percent in March and to 3.39 percent at the end of 2014, according to weighted-average estimates in a Bloomberg survey of analysts.
The U.S. central bank buys $85 billion of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities each month to put downward pressure on borrowing costs. Officials will pare the purchases to $70 billion a month at their March 18-19 meeting, according to the median economist estimate in a Bloomberg survey on Nov. 8.
The Fed bought $3.17 billion of securities maturing between May 2021 and August 2023 today. Bernanke is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. in Washington.
Yellen Message
Yellen defended bond purchases by the Fed in a letter to a U.S. senator, saying the easing boosted economic growth and provides benefits that exceed its risks.
"By putting downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and helping to make financial conditions more accommodative, the Federal Reserve's asset purchases have supported a stronger economic recovery, improved labor market conditions, and helped keep inflation closer to its 2 percent objective," Yellen said in a Nov. 18 response to Senator David Vitter, a Republican from Louisiana.
"Yellen is trying her best to keep the bond market vigilantes at bay," said Adrian Miller, director of fixed-income strategies at GMP Securities LLC in New York. "She again tried to deliver a dovish tone in the letter, but in doing so it didn't seem like it sat well with the equity or the bond market. The comments were not dovish enough."
The Treasury will offer $13 billion of 10-year Treasury inflation protected securities on Nov. 21. The U.S. previously sold the debt on Sept. 19 at a yield of 0.5 percent, the highest since July 2011. TIPs pay interest at lower rates than regular Treasuries on a principal amount that's adjusted based on the Labor Department's consumer price index.
The difference between yields on 10-year notes and similar-maturity TIPS, a gauge of expectations for consumer prices over the life of the debt, rose was at 2.19 percentage points, compared with the average of 2.31 percentage points during the past 12 months.

Hotly-Debated Housekeeping at the Apple-Samsung Trial
Today is housekeeping day at the Apple-Samsung trial. It is one of the companies' last chances to air their objections to nitty-gritty procedural issues before closing arguments Tuesday.
On the agenda this afternoon: discussion of the proposed jury instructions and the jury verdict form.
But the disputes hardly end here.
Another issue that surfaced this morning: those pesky over-the-air phone updates your wireless carrier sends you to update your phone's software.
Apple, according to court filings, is concerned that during deliberations jurors may inadvertently update the disputed Samsung devices with an over-the-air update from a wireless carrier while examining them. That could cause them to modify a feature in a dispute and affect their determination of whether the device infringed an Apple patent.
In particular, one feature in dispute—the ability for a screen to "bounce back" when you scroll to the end of a page—isn't in the most recent version of Android, Google's operating system that powers the Samsung devices.
"Because certain accused Samsung products in evidence have active mobile data connections that will cause those devices to connect to the Internet any time those devices are powered on, the instruction to decline update requests should be provided to the jury out of an abundance of caution," read one of Apple's statements on the matter.
Samsung's solution, according to court docs: remove the SIM cards for any devices on AT&T and T-Mobile, the carriers it believes offer wireless updates.
We'll see if they can at least agree upon that.

Of course, don't do the boiling step on anything you can't stand to lose. Even if one person got away with "boiling" a particular CPAP part doesn't mean they haven't changed the design and your part may melt. Or that your part may crack or something.

Oh sorry, I wasn't clear. I am not against a socket+core API [1]. What I
find useless with hwloc is using the physical/OS ids. hwloc/plpa.h uses
obj->os_index everywhere, while os_index is meaningless excep at the
PROC level (when binding). If you want the second core in the second
socket, you don't care about their physical/OS indexes (which are often
non-consecutive, repeating, ...), you just want to use logical indexes.
OS/physical indexes change all the time anyway (when upgrading the BIOS,
the kernel, ...).

I don't see how you could be extensible without being close the generic
hwloc API.

Actually, we've seen many strange things like this in the non-x86 world.
It doesn't look very different from Bull's QBBs or SGI Blades in large
Itanium machines :)
[1] But we'll have to choose between socket+core and NUMA+core (often
similar but not always), and maybe other useful basic setups.

Election 2013: a roundup
Most Americans understand the elected officials closest to home — first selectmen, mayors, school board members, state legislators — are best positioned to make constituents' lives better (or worse). They also know a single vote can turn an outcome in a local election but has less potency in national balloting. Yet getting them to scrutinize the hometown candidates and issues is a persistent problem.
Waterbury voters disgraced themselves Tuesday, turning out at a rate of just 22.5 percent after nearly 57 percent voted in the Nov. 6, 2012 presidential election. (This still was much worse than the state average of 74 percent.)

Then she was spotted shopping at the Chanel Boutique in Rockstar Moto. I think the Rockstar Moto jeans look surprisingly good!

Celebs in Denim: Avril Lavigne in Current/Elliott
Avril Lavigne was seen wearing a pair of Current/Elliott shorts with suspender straps at Bel Air. This is the first time I have seen anyone wearing these! Avril is the perfect celeb to pull these off with her edgy style. I think I like them. What do you think of her style and how it's changed over the years?

Celebs in Denim: Megan Fox in Current/Elliott
Megan Fox looks inconspicuous in a pair of Current/Elliott The Slouched Cropped jean, in Love Destroyed. She was out shopping with boyfriend Brian Austin Green and his son, Cassius. We have seen Megan in these jeans before but she cuffed the hems and wore them with wedges.

Arts My John Cassavetes Kick, Years Late
I've been on a John Cassavetes kick in the last week, and I have to say, he's good. (Hi everyone, I'm Christopher, sorry I'm late to the party.) I rented Faces and watched it at my neighbor's apartment while my neighbor had a passive-aggressive conversation in the hallway with his on-again off-again girlfriend; appropriately enough, Faces alternates between passive-aggressive marital meltdown and out-and-out shrieking, and ends with an extended shot of a dissatisfied couple smoking on the stairs of their suburban L.A. house. (I am a tool of the tobacco industry, an enemy of the smoking banners — I like watching people smoke in movies.) The next night I watched Shadows, which is a tense tone poem about a bunch of awkward young musicians and one particularly manipulative beautiful girl, and just about every shot is absolutely necessary. (The whole thing is blissfully about 80 minutes long.) And then a couple days ago in San Francisco a friend invited me to a Cassavetes film festival, which was just him and a few friends watching a Cassavetes DVDs on a laptop. On the night I joined, the movie was A Woman Under the Influence, which, again, I realize is very famous and has been seen by all, but I'd never seen it. Gena Rowlands loses her shit for 2 and a half hours. It's unbelievably great. If you've never seen any of Cassavetes's movies, that's where I'd start. (Although I have many more to go. Next up: Husbands.)
The first week of my discovery of Cassavetes ended yesterday, in one of those uncanny synchronicities, with the Sunday New York Times Book Review piece about the filmmaker's first "genuine biography."

Dude, nice quality sketches, How large of a sketchbook are we talking here? I feel as if I never have enough room on a page to let it all out so I,m looking for a large one.
Looks like rip claw from youngblood.
There's something fluid in the way you draw your characters.... plus the fact that they're two of my favourite characters might count.... love the shading
the girl it's pretty cool
you've got an incredible good line!
I'm just starting my Comic /2D animation education now and when I see, what can be possible by intensive drawing and exercising, wow, respect^^
