In the midst of the current battle between the "leftist" grassroots and the "moderate" DLC, this article interjects a missing link. Political leadership is not about mimicry of "tough" positions, nor is it about reactionary complaints and bomb-throwing. It is about the attitude of power.
The attitude of power has an evolutionary basis, one that is rooted in the signals of alpha masculinity, and it is sorely missing from both the Democratic establishment and the liberal rebels. This isn't about policy positions or ideology. It's about something more fundamental. It's about biology.
Call it toughness or brashness, chutzpah or machismo, iron guts, brass balls or just plain alpha maleness. Whatever you want to call it, to paraphrase Potter Stewart, you know it when you see it, and you know when it's not there. The time has never been more critical for liberals to defy expectations and show they've got it and attack conservatives for having none.
Since Election 2004, liberals have been agonizing over the shape of the Democratic Party and the fate of liberalism itself. Should they look for new policies or new personalities? Is the right demographic the "security moms" or the "values voters"? Is their salvation in the framing, in the heartland, or in the Bible?
For a moment, liberals may want to put aside all the abstract political analysis and poll-data parsing and consider something far simpler. A basic fact of nature gone underappreciated for a very long time. Something fundamentalist conservatives won't believe and enlightened liberals don't like to acknowledge.
People are animals.
Animal House
All it takes is one Sunday morning recuperating with the Discovery Channel to learn that in every animal population, there is a hierarchy. At the top is the "Alpha," who, among mammals in general and primates in particular, is usually the male. At the bottom, happy to get the scraps, are the "Omegas."
Alpha males continually communicate their dominance to the Omegas: They grunt and growl; they pound their chests; they emit unpleasant yet dominating odors. Omegas routinely defer to the Alpha's displays of dominance: They let the Alpha eat first; bow and cower before him; and flee from his potent stench.
This social structure helps animals build and maintain group strength. It's time-tested, it's hard-wired, and it works. Alphas are the leaders; Omegas are the followers.
And in between the two are the Democrats.
In the animal kingdom of American politics, there is one population that truly gets the Darwinian truth of human nature. Ironically, they are the same folks who want to ban it from schools and whose leader thinks "the jury is still out" on evolution. They are the conservatives.
Conservatives adhere to the atavistic organizational model – there are Alpha Cons and Omega Cons, and they all know their place. Alpha Cons lead through aggressive, dominant signals while Omega Cons support the Alphas with their votes, money, and dutiful recitation of talking points.
Liberals are of a different breed. Since the Enlightenment, their devotion to reason and intellect has helped the human species progress. But during the past two generations, they have over-learned their own lesson plan. Elevating intellect to new heights, liberals have lost touch with their instincts.
Now they meander around the middle, sandwiched between the leaders they hate – the Alpha Cons – and the homogeneous packs they disdain – the Omega Cons. Here roam the Lambda Libs.
A legacy of Lamdba Libs plagues the Democratic Party. Humphrey, McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis … Rational-thinking, peace-loving, sweater-wearing, tax-increase-disclosing, Kitty-Dukakis-non-avenging political also-rans.
To generations of liberals for whom "smart" and "open-minded" are the ultimate compliments, these warm, fuzzy eggheads were heroes. For the rest of America, they were weaklings who wouldn't stand up and pound their chests.
Whether Alpha, Omega, or somewhere in between, no one wants a weakling as leader, because our genes tell us that he won't be able to protect the tribe from marauding saber-toothed tigers. So, as Lambda Libs have been de-clawing themselves with rationality and civility, the voting public has learned to follow Alpha Cons, the only animals who display the instinctively-recognizable signals of leadership – the words, images, and attitude of the alpha male.
The Language Instinct
Everyone knows George W. Bush has a way with words. To liberals, Bush's malapropisms prove he is "dumb," "juvenile," "inarticulate," or "very dumb." But there is a method to his mumbles. Bush understands that in the political jungle, the right (or wrong) words signal dominance.
Take then-Governor Bush's identification of reporter Adam Clymer as the "major league asshole from the New York Times." Bush didn't say that just to get some yucks from Dick "Big Time" Cheney. Bush was using nasty language as a form of territorial pissing.
This continued throughout the campaign and the presidency. The verbal pee lines were everywhere. He doled out knuckle-headed nicknames to a fawning press corps hungry for access to his infrequent conferences. He delivered "tough" admonitions to reporters who were "tough" on him. Later, he paid members of the media to say supportive words for his policies.
During the Bush years, the press has come to understand its place. It is no longer above politics, as it once haughtily believed. It is part of a PR game, a popularity contest between schoolyard bullies and pencil-necked geeks. And, like jock-sniffing high school underclassmen, the media recognizes if it kisses up to the Alpha Cons and kicks down on the Lamdba Libs, it can climb to a respectable place in between the two – the Beta Press.
Lambda Libs, who traditionally try to curry media favor, missed Bush's paradigm shift completely. Take Gore spokesman Chris Lehane's response to the Clymer comment:
We hold virtually all members of the Fourth Estate in the highest regard and we believe they should be part of the democratic process day in and day out.
Was this a joke? Lehane continued:
It's the second time in less than a week that the governor has broken his promise to `change the tone' of the campaign. First, he used an ad to attack the vice-president in a very nasty and personal way, now he's used an expletive to attack a member of the working press.
No joke.
To the Gore camp and the Lambda Libs, Bush had been "very nasty"; he had broken a "promise"; he had attacked the "Fourth Estate." To the rest of America, Bush just called some pointy-headed four-eyes an "asshole." And in the meantime, Bush-Cheney 2000 cemented a new hierarchy – Alpha Cons-Beta Press-Lambda Libs – all with a few "nasty" words.
Liberals have a pathological aversion to "nasty" words. They can't take the heat, so they've developed a new vocabulary for protection, promulgating "speech codes" and mumbo-jumbo like "alternatively-abled." This lexical silliness has done more than fuel the petty persecution complexes of college Republicans who graduate to the National Review Online.
The PC movement has made liberals look like a bunch of "pussies."
This isn't to say swearing a blue streak is the key to the White House, but imbuing language with more instinct and less intellect can unshackle the hairy ape within. Conservatives, for all their holy-rolling, allow themselves to think "nasty," politically incorrect thoughts – and they occasionally let "nasty" words slip as a consequence. See e.g., "Bring `em on," "this crusade," or "Go fuck yourself, Senator Leahy." Even more measured Alpha Con utterances have a vitality that seems to spring from animal instinct, rather than the cautious, clinical intellect of the Lambda Lib. Compare "pro-life," "ownership society," and "war on terror" with "reproductive rights," "public protection attorneys," and a "more sensitive war."
Plainly put, Alpha Cons more consistently and spontaneously communicate in a way that conveys a willingness and ability to throw down and control the pecking order. But it's not all talk.
Missing in Action
When Bush flew shotgun onto the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln for his "Mission Accomplished" photo-op, the pictures bewitched the Beta Press, who mocked liberals for not measuring up.
Members of CNN's Capital Gang praised Bush and derided Joe Lieberman, who apparently wouldn't look as studly in a flightsuit. On Good Morning America, George Stephanopoulos and Diane Sawyer swooned, recalling the comparative absurdity of Michael Dukakis's tank ride. Perhaps MSNBC's Chris Matthews summed up the Beta Press's alpha envy best: "We like having a hero as our President."
In this action movie, video game era, images not only speak louder than words when it comes to signaling alpha masculinity. They also speak louder than truth.
John Kerry was a genuine war hero, but he couldn't play one on TV. His swift boat landing and awkward salute at the Democratic National Convention made him look desperate for alpha cred – unsure if he belonged in the company of his aging "band of brothers" – and the Swift Boat Veterans exploited the doubts that desperation created. Kerry's failure to confidently and completely tell the story of his unconventional life allowed the Bush team to write the missing chapters. Images of Kerry the peacenik, Kerry the Boston Brahmin, and Kerry the flip-flopping sailboarder from Nantucket created cognitive dissonance, and, with the Swifties shoveling their dirt, the campaign became a full-frontal assault on Kerry's courage and, in turn, his masculinity.
Kerry never countered this challenge with direct attacks of his own on the dubious manhood of George W. Bush, a pampered son of privilege who continually, and sometimes literally, has let other men fight his battles for him. Instead, the Kerry team and most other liberals criticized Bush's intelligence, callousness, arrogance, and incompetence. And in the end, a wastrel who once actively avoided combat could don a fighter costume and be hailed as a hero, while a decorated veteran could be effectively ridiculed as an indecisive waffler in a windsurfing wetsuit.
Living in their "reality-based community," liberals get bent out of shape about this disconnect. Bush's carrier landing, his Thanksgiving turkey trot to the soldiers in Iraq, his cowboy hat at the ranch, even his exaggerated John Wayne swagger. Being rational folks, liberals believe the public will (or should) look through the alpha posturing of nasty words and hard guy images and see a person for who he really is.
But that's not how nature works – or at least the "virtual nature" of modern life. In the political jungle, where physical confrontation is not an option, voters must watch verbal and non-verbal cues for evidence of alpha power. Consequently, a 98-pound chimp can pretend to be the 800-pound gorilla, and the rest of the tribe will suspend disbelief – provided the chimp grunts and thumps with great ape attitude.
The Belly of the Beast
George Bush was once asked to identify his biggest mistake since 9/11, and here's what he came up with:
I'm sure historians will look back and say, gosh, he could have done it better this way or that way … I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, all the pressure of trying to come up with an answer. But it hasn't yet.
George Bush knows that apologies will be made and mistakes will be noted … eventually … by others. But not by him. He wouldn't even know where to look. Right or wrong, George Bush will never apologize for being a gorilla … or pretending to be one. He has an attitude problem, and it helps him win.
That's a problem no liberal has. The willingness to explain positions and then back off them never abates in the Democratic Party. Just ask Dick Durbin.
In June 2005, after Durbin noted that the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay is what you might expect from the Nazis or Soviets, the conservative chorus for a mea culpa was relentless. And then, after Durbin apologized and cried on the floor of the Senate, the GOP pressure was … still relentless. You'd think Durbin's public atonement would have been enough, but the right was unappeased. In fact, just days after the apology, Karl Rove used Durbin's "controversial" comment to disparage all liberals as traitors who want American troops to die.
And was Rove asked to apologize? Yes. By the Democrats, of course. And did he? Of course not.
If you are offended by something a reasonable, civilized person has done or said, asking for an apology makes sense. And if you are convinced you have done something wrong, apologizing is reasonable and civilized.
But Alpha Cons are neither reasonable nor civilized. So when Democrats heed conservative calls for an apology, they do more than admit ineptitude and express remorse; they also place their fate and moral worth to the hands of their enemies – will they or won't they forgive? And when Dems demand an apology from an Alpha Con, they do more than show they were offended (and thus thin-skinned); they imply that the offending party knew better. They also give him a chance – which the Alpha Con naturally takes – to reject the demand and show his strength of will.
Thus, when Durbin apologized, he showed he lacked the courage of his convictions. In addition, he allowed his enemies (namely Karl Rove), to reject the apology and leverage it against him. It also didn't help that he cried.
When the Democrats in turn asked Rove to apologize for his recriminating slander against Durbin and liberals in general, the implication was that Rove knew better and that he only need correct the record to make amends. Democrats gave him an out.
And when Rove refused to apologize, he showed the strength of his will. Moreover, when Bush and other Republicans supported Rove, together they proved what we knew all along – the Democrats have no real power to change the pecking order, gain alpha status, and lead the pack.
The Alpha Cons' historical backbone and the Lambda Libs' self-perpetuating spinelessness create expectations about attitude that are not easily altered. Liberals are expected to be far down on the food chain – lame wildebeests pothering on about apologies and "fair play." Conservatives are expected to be silverback gorillas, growling nastily and emitting a dominant, hungry stink.
Given expectations, people aren't surprised when a gorilla does something tough or mean. That is consonant with his nature. (Which is why the Beta Press, on its own, would never ask Tom DeLay to apologize for his vicious eruptions and why Bush isn't asked to denounce them.) Were the ape to exhibit even a modicum of kindness, people would be relieved, maybe even a bit awed. (Which is why the Beta Press are so impressed with Bush's pretensions of compassion.)
The wildebeest, however, is expected to lie down and die. And if he does something alpha-like, he is deemed aberrational – unnatural, unauthentic, or "unhinged." (Which explains the Beta Press reaction to Howard Dean's very existence.) People know he can be cowed into contrition and that, eventually, he will calm down and wait to be eaten.
This abject lack of attitude has not only made Lambda Lib ascendance to alpha status a far-fetched proposition. Now, after years of living apologetically, liberals have placed themselves on the endangered species list.
Survival of the Leftist
Out in the wilderness, the faint cries of the strident liberal activist and the careful Democratic centrist echo, trying to convince someone, anyone, of their alpha readiness. But it's not there.
Along the far left, the rhetoric is too shrill in tone and anti-authoritarian in attitude to signal fitness for any kind of leadership. These are the howls of the malcontented, the powerless, the wounded animals flailing for attention.
In the hallowed center of the Democratic Party, self-styled moderates merely ape Alpha Con policy positions – offering slightly modified talking points on the Iraq War or the latest video-game ban. Such creatures confuse mimicry with toughness, and remain dependent on the leadership of others.
The alpha of the group can never be defensive or reactionary. He must always be actively on the attack. When the opposition poses a threat, he can't afford to become embittered; he needs to get tough. He must assume power instead of shrilly complaining about another's abuse of it. And he can never follow.
Can such a breed evolve from the Democratic Party? Will there ever be a grunting and thumping ape on the left? A genuine Alpha Lib?
Occasional sightings of aspirants have recently been reported. Out of the deserts of the West, former boxer Harry Reid has shown alpha strength in opposing Bush's Social Security privatization plan – he's kept unity and hierarchy, ridiculed Bush, and ignored Beta Press calls for "compromise." Along the Atlantic coast, Hillary Clinton has laid into the Beta Press for a pathetic inability to "stand their ground," telling them to "get some spine." And then, wandering about nomadically, there's the ostensible leader himself.
After Howard Dean commented about "Confederate flags" and "pick-ups" in the 2003 Democratic Primary, he was cowed into an apology by his own party's shame merchants. But in early 2005, when he made some "nasty" remarks about Republicans having "never made an honest living" and being "pretty much a white Christian party," he gave no apologies, no tortuous explanations, no tears. Despite the disapproval of the Beta Press and a circular firing squad of Lambda Libs, Dean stood his ground.
Nevertheless, liberals should ask themselves why Dean had to fight back against his own party at all. It's become a chronic problem. For every half-step forward from a potential Alpha Lib, Lambda Libs force a ten-pace retreat. Reid holds the line; the "moderate Senators" compromise on the filibuster. Clinton talks tough; Durbin cries like a baby. Dean pounds his chest; his own party runs for cover.
Clearly, liberals are not used to alpha signaling. Perhaps they are waiting for the public to smarten up or for Republicans to overreach and defeat themselves. After all, polls since the last election have shown that the public's confidence in Bush has slipped, and a shadow of scandal has been cast on the White House. That should be enough to bring down the entire conservative movement. Right?
Well, we've been there before, and none of it mattered. And it will continue not to matter – not until there is an alternative to the Alpha Con. Not until the Alpha Lib crawls out of the primordial political soup with attitude and without apology.
The failure of the Lambda Lib in America has proven that people are relatively ambivalent about a leader's intelligence, his eloquence, and even his competence. But there is one quality they can never find lacking. Americans, especially in this post-9/11 era, must see signs that their leader, if necessary, can kick some ass and protect them in an increasingly hostile world, one that doesn't always respond to reason or civility.
Call it toughness or brashness, chutzpah or machismo, iron guts, brass balls or just plain alpha maleness. Whatever you want to call it, to paraphrase Potter Stewart, you know it when you see it, and you know when it's not there. The time has never been more critical for liberals to defy expectations and – through rhetoric, imagery, and attitude – show they've got it and attack conservatives for having none.
Of course, electoral success has many components. Winning in politics isn't simply a matter of saying "fuck you very much," riding tall in the saddle, and never apologizing. But for the Democrats, who have convinced everyone ad nauseam of their "nurturing parent" abilities, more than a little shot of "strict father" testosterone is in order. Only then can the evolution begin.

Jadeja, Ashwin Help Ind Tie 3rd ODI v NZ
AUCKLAND: Ravindra Jadeja kept India's one-day series against New Zealand alive as the tourists took 17 off the final over to tie an epic third match in the series at Eden Park on Saturday.
New Zealand were on the verge of sealing an historic series win over the world champions, after making 314 and then removing the cream of India's batting talent to have the tourists at 184-6 with less than 15 overs remaining.
But Jadeja, who finished unbeaten on 66, and Ravi Ashwin who posted a career-best 65, ensured India stayed in the game.
Between them they put on 85 runs in 55 balls for the seventh wicket before Ashwin fell to a spectacular catch by New Zealand century-maker Martin Guptill, leaving Jadeja to get India to the end as the tail-end batsmen fell around him.
Despite Jadeja's heroics, India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni felt his side wasted an opportunity to seal a victory.
"You're supposed to pick situations where we could have closed the game quite comprehensively. Those were the situations that we didn't grab and there were a few of our batsmen who could have done that so that's a bit disappointing," he said.
"But (it's also a) good result because it keeps us alive in the series. We can't win it but we can go for a draw."
New Zealand, who won the first two matches, need to win one more to claim the series victory, while India need to win the remaining two matches to draw.
All-rounder Corey Anderson, who finished with five for 63, had the role of bowling the final over to India and could not contain Jadeja who belted two fours, a six and a single to go with two wides.
Three overs from the end, New Zealand believed they had Jadeja caught behind but umpire Rod Tucker turned down the appeal even though replays indicated the ball touched the bat.
New Zealand, who lost the toss for the third time, were sent into bat on a fast-paced wicket and were all out for 314 on the last ball of an innings built around Guptill's 111.
Guptill and Kane Williamson featured in a 153-run stand for the second wicket and when it was broken in the 33rd over with the removal of Williamson (65) New Zealand felt confident enough to promote big-hitting Anderson up the order.
But the move did not pay off. Anderson went for eight and was quickly followed by Guptill, then Brendon McCullum (nought) and New Zealand were 230 for five.
Ross Taylor (17) and Luke Ronchi (38) staged a minor recovery but when Taylor was run out it sparked a collapse in which New Zealand lost four wickets over 18 runs.
At 288-9 it was left to some lusty hitting by Tim Southee to get New Zealand over the 300 mark before he was run out on the last ball.
India had a scare at the start of their reply when Rohit Sharma was dropped by Jesse Ryder at second slip before they comfortably progressed to 64 without loss after nine overs.
However, the momentum switched with a bowling change which saw Anderson remove Shikhar Dhawan (28) and Sharma (39) while Hamish Bennett, back in the New Zealand side after a three-year absence, removed Virat Kohli for six.
Suresh Raina (31) and Dhoni (50) carried India through to 184 at the start of the batting power play.
With the removal of Dhoni there was reason for New Zealand to sense they were in command, but Jadeja with his 66 of 45 deliveries, including four sixes and five fours, kept India in the game.

Updated models with AMD graphics options expected in early 2017.
Ford Launching 2017 Escape in May as its First CarPlay Vehicle
The automaker's best-selling SUV has entered production in Louisville, Kentucky, and sales will begin at U.S. and Canadian dealerships in May 2016.
CarPlay will bring Maps, Phone, Messages, Music, Podcasts, and a number of third-party apps, such as Spotify, to the 2017 Escape's in-dash multimedia system.
The Apple software can be controlled with Siri and your vehicle's built-in controls for convenient access to common iPhone features. iPhone 5 or later is required.
The new Escape also features available driver-assist technology that can "help keep drivers in their lane, maintain a set speed and distance on the highway, and even aid drivers in getting out of a tight parking spot."
Ford announced in January that it would be adding CarPlay and Android Auto to all 2017 vehicles in North America equipped with BlackBerry's QNX-based SYNC 3 platform, starting with the new Escape.
CarPlay and Android Auto will also be available in 2016 Ford vehicles with SYNC 3 as an upgrade later this year.
CarPlay is available in over 100 new 2016 and 2017 models worldwide from Acura, Audi, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Citroën, DS Automobiles, Ferrari, Ford, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Opel, Porsche, Peugeot, Seat, Škoda, Suzuki, Volkswagen, Volvo, and other carmakers.
CarPlay and Android Auto will also available in select Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep models beginning this year. Toyota, meanwhile, remains one of the largest automakers that has yet to adopt CarPlay, instead choosing SmartDeviceLink, despite being listed as a committed partner on Apple's website since 2014.

I really don't get Carplay.
Who want's to be fiddling with buttons, listening to or dictating messages etc whilst driving?

I don't see what the big deal is. My dad has had these features with every car he's had since the late 60's. That's when he married my mom. ;)
Ever since, he's had constant assistance with his driving.
"Bob, Bob, you're supposed to turn here!"
"Bob, you're going too fast."
"Oh for Crissakes speed it up or we will never get there."
"Bob, watch where you're going! Pay attention! There's a car there!"
"Bob don't park here, there is a spot right next to the door over there!"
Dear old mom! But on the few occasions when my mom is driving and Dad is riding shotgun he's just as bad. And when husband or I are driving, my dad turns into a human GPS. :rolleyes:
Seriously though, while these technologies look great, I worry about the stuff I've read about them being hacked. It's hard for me to want to give up my nearly 25 year old car anytime soon when I think of that risk. But as I age I admit this all seems promising in terms of keeping me safely on the road into my golden years.
Who want's to be fiddling with buttons, listening to or dictating messages etc whilst driving?
I'd rather just drive, and enjoy some (increasingly rare) gadget free time.

Good for you. Fortunately, you can choose to drive a car without it if you'd like. The rest of us want it. Great having choices, huh?
Carplay quite frankly, sucks.. It's a half baked solution that doesn't work very well..
Disagree, as someone who's had it for over a year.
That said, I have SYNC in my Mustang (not MyFordTouch) and with an iPod classic permanently docked in the console, I couldn't be happier. The voice commands work flawlessly every time and it allows the iPod to use the iPod's native shuffle algoritm (unlike my prior Jetta which had it's own horrible shuffle algoritm). I don't think there's any better way to listen to music in the car. Bluetooth technology doesn't let you navigate between playlists or artists or whatever, so you have to make sure you have the right playlist set on your phone before getting in the car, and then the sound quality isn't that great (yeah it's not bad, but it will never be as good as a hardwired device), and then your battery drains quicker. So at least if all you want to do is listen to music, I don't think there's any better solution than a permanently docked iPod as long as the car does a good job with voice commands etc. to navigate and switch between playlists/artists/songs, which SYNC on my Mustang does.
However if you need maps/messages/whatever, I could see the appeal of CarPlay, but not version 1.0. Maybe version like 8.0 when it's wireless and has a lot of functionality added and bugs worked out. Really though the auto manufacturers need to let Apple create the touch screens - used CarPlay in a '16 Tiguan SEL and it was still a crappy slow touchscreen, which ruined the experience. What I'm most surprised to see though is manufacturers still having their own factory nav in addition to CarPlay - who's going to use that when they can use Apple/Google maps??

We've reviewed our share of breathalyzers in the past, but there's something about Alcohawk's PT5000 that really catches our eye. Maybe it's the giant LCD display that makes it easier to read when you can only peer through one eye. Maybe it's the fact it has an audio warning for those who are too bleary to see said display. Maybe it's the updated sensor that helps make false positives a thing of the past. But probably, it's the fact it looks like a tricorder from the old Star Trek episodes, and we're getting excited to see the new movie next spring.

DOL Corner
The Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (DOL/EBSA) announced new guidance as featured below. You can subscribe to DOL/EBSA's home page for updates
Annual funding notice – final rule
On Feb. 2, DOL/EBSA published a final rule implementing the annual funding notice requirements under ERISA Section 101(f), as amended by the Pension Protection Act.
The rule requires the plan administrator of a defined benefit pension plan that is subject to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's (PBGC) insurance program to furnish a funding notice annually to participants, beneficiaries, labor organizations representing such participants or beneficiaries, employers obligated to make contributions to a multiemployer plan and the PBGC. The final rule contains model notices.
Among other things, the notice must show the plan's funding percentage, the assets and liabilities that determine the funding percentage, the fair market value of the plan's assets on the last day of the plan year, the plan's funding and investment policies and allocation of assets, and known events that are projected to have a material effect on the plan's funding.
An estimated 27,000 plans covering approximately 44 million participants and beneficiaries are subject to this disclosure requirement.
Annual funding notice – Field Assistance Bulletin
On Jan.14, DOL/EBSA issued Field Assistance Bulletin (FAB) 2015-01 on the annual funding notice requirements following the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 (HAFTA).
The FAB provides guidance on compliance by plan administrators of single-employer defined benefit pension plans with the annual funding notice requirements of ERISA Section 101(f) as amended by Section 2003 of the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014. The FAB includes a modified supplement to the model annual funding notice that plan administrators may use to comply.
Outreach and education

Like the world where GHQ killed off an entire city block? Oh wait, they did that because Gai sent Inori in to steal something he was too chickenshit to steal himself.
Or do you mean the world where Gai waits till after GHQ kills off a bunch of civilians? Who, again, were only killed because Gai wanted the Void Genome for himself, and one presumes because he wanted to traumatize Shu into thinking GHQ=bastards you need to KILL. :P
Having served a one term stint in the US Army, it used to bug me how soldiers are generally depicted in media (not just anime), but I've mostly gotten over it over the years, because in the end it's just not worth getting one's panties in a bunch over. Still, till the day I die, I will find it hilarious how often soldiers are just these evil caricatures that authors and scriptwriters don't even try to depict as real people. To be fair, not just them. We can include the countless nameless security guards who've been carved up by heroes in the name of justice as well.
Now, while we HAVE been shown that GHQ are the cardboard villains, let's not forget that in the framework of the story we've seen so far, all their cruelty came by as a result of a blonde-haired bishie who seems uber-rich, wanting some fantastical power for himself, and giving off seriously un-serious vibes about this being a fight to "take back Japan". I mean would you take much stock in the words of a trustfund baby if he was to walk up to you and say, "hey dude, let's take back <your country of choice>!" Though, I don't doubt some of his non-spoonfed members of the resistance group really do believe these ideals, just like all those uneducated members of some real life terrorist organizations did, so really, despite my snark, this part is actually somewhat realistic.
Anyways, I'll further point out that we haven't actually seen GHQ's "brutality" just for shits and giggles (in a completely isolated incident that wasn't a response to you know...terrorism), so for all we know, if Gai wasn't out being a terrorist, things might be a little peaceful; somewhat oppressive knowing there's a foreign army on your soil, but peaceful. I imagine if GHQ was really wiping out city blocks willy-nilly for the last ten years, basic math would seem to indicate there'd be no city left.
Now, I realize we're not supposed to take this so seriously that we should analyze this type of behavior, justifications, etc. That it's popcorn entertainment, and we're supposed to just accept that being a mass murderer (which, you know, when you look through some non-anime-reality-distortion-goggles, Shu kinda would be in any real non-anime society) is perfectly justified if one is fighting for JUSTICE!!!!
And, I am. I'm greatly entertained. I wouldn't be in this thread if I wasn't. It helps being able to disconnect reality from fiction though, and not try to make any real moral/political/social sense of it all. Enjoy the pretty art, skintight outfits, laugh at the pseudo science, giggle over coming up with fantastical theories as to where the show is going next, drink some beers, and just sit back and relax.
As for Shu , he may not be a great GAR character, and Guilty Crown may not be a piece of classic cinema, but it is sort of nice to see that Shu is, in any other medium than sensational fiction, a fairly normal teenage boy. A tad emo, but not therapy-inducingly so, likes to peek at girl's boobs (c'mon guys, you know you did this a lot back when the hormones were first letting themselves be heard), has internal monologues that are fairly sensible that doesn't always mesh with his outward appearance, has no real interest in becoming a terrorist since his life is pretty darn good-if a little empty due to being a slight introvert.
Let's cherish this, because we all know by the time this series is done, he'll be carving through hundreds of nameless grunts without a speck of remorse as a vehicle for the author's suppressed resentment over US occupation of his country after WW2 (hey, I'll be real here, I probably wouldn't be particularly stoked if there were foreign troops stationed in my country either), as Shu valiantly strives to live up to the heavy mantle of shounen male lead.
Now, if you don't enjoy it, great! Saying you don't enjoy it once is fine, but seriously...saying it ten billion times (yes, exaggeration). There's a lot of things to enjoy in life. More than any one person will ever be able to experience. Do you really want to spend it doing something you apparently don't enjoy and aren't being forced to?

Choice 1: Fight and face the craziness that I just experienced wih Gai.
Choice 2: Go back to school and enjoy the comfortable life I had before at school.
Shu picked choice 2. He could have picked choice 1 and fight to save the people. But no he picked choice 2. In a way, he ran away from the harsh truth and went back to his comfortable life hoping it does not affect him even though he's now involved since he got the King's power.

Hehe yeah no kidding! Gai is just soo fishy right now it's scary. I mean he's charismatic, seems to have the money and the power, and a bunch of other things. Considering how Shu shows that he isn't stupid (he figured Gai was able to see voids), Shu probably find him dangerous as well haha. "he's 17? Bullcrap." Lol! We can test it by pulling a void out of him. Unless the whole "under 17" rule thing was not true.

With everything fishy about Gai, it's his age we're fixating on?
It's anime folks. Age is just a number. Over 13 if the Anime wants to put the character in risque situations that involve fanservice, and under 18 if they want it to resonate with the teen demographic, which...admittedly...I never understood as I have a sneaking suspicion it's not teens that drive the sales for these shows.
Appearances don't really mean anything and are almost never a reason to doubt someone's proclaimed age in anime.

Gai is also talking to one probably backer in episode 03. When he mention a name and a condition. I'm also agreeing on Shu's decision with not joining in funeral parlor but his reaction on killing someone is completely off on the reaction when he didn't help Inori in episode 1. In this series they portray the bad guys as bad but that's not enough justification on killing them though it would suffice on the rebels but Shu isn't one of the rebels to begin with. True he see himself the execution and all but there is no good transition of emotion on his side.
From a shock reaction to being invited to join then he turn down and return to school like nothing happen even though his life already change. He even said that it's one and a life time adventure. Did the power of king didn't sink in him that having that makes his life not normal anymore. The story specify that only 3 exist and if one of it is already been used on him then he has value on both parties. But he didn't even think about it and he was shock when he saw Inori in his school. It's like all he think about is himself which he knew when he starts moping again in the train when his idiotic friend calls him a moron even though it's alright to call a girl a doll but not a cg. what's the different between a doll and a cg to begin with. I also hate this guy named Souta. It looks to me that he will be a problem in the future. Because his all to focus in funeral parlor. Maybe his past is link to it that's why he favors the funeral parlor which is rebelling against the invaders but I'm seeing this guy as a future member in funeral parlor or a problem for Shu.

I kind of have to agree that this show really does make Inori look like Shu's own personal doll thing to ogle and who will just hang around him regardless of anything that happens. I guess it's good for him to have a companion and maybe it'll make him smarten up a bit, but she still really needs a personality. It's amazing that she probably has the least character and personality of any female character I've seen so far this season and Chihara Minori is present in a show. That should never happen, but I'll continue to give it time. This episode and their dialogues were far and above anything they've had so far and you can sort of feel them bonding just a little in their conversation at Shu's apartment. Plus the whole scene with her telling Shu how to draw the void weapon out of someone and then him starting to ambush students at the school was pretty amusing too. One has to wonder if she just has a really dry sense of humour or something in everything she does and if she's really as meek and innocent as she seems on the surface and "just following Gai's orders" or not.
Also Shu's parents working for the Legion of Doom could have interesting repercussions down the line depending on where they go with it. Will they be willing compliants in genocide, will they be taken hostage to lure out Shu, or will they escape and defect to Funeral Parlor perhaps.
As for the Legion of Doom side of things, apparently there's a concept now called the Norma Gene and this somehow ties into our new supervillain Major Segai who honestly is kind of the most interesting of them yet in how he pursues his business. I guess when you've already set the bar that high for bug-eyed supervillains this sort of character is able to come across as vaguely normal by comparison, but we'll see. At least he's not constantly wigging out, which is a start.
One minor problem I have is the whole setup with Shu and Inori trying to find a possible student that saw them fighting and can rat them out to avoid execution, but the Legion of Doom has already been built up as so black evil that it almost makes me wonder why they wouldn't just lay waste to the general area or something anyway to stamp out the resistance. Also the whole 17 year or younger excuse for void objects is some pretty tepid stuff even by Yoshino standards. I guess it's an excuse to keep all the potential forces for resisting the LoD young and nubile, but yeah...pretty tepid and the whole really convenient ability to erase their memories is as well. I'm getting that sense of Yoshino making up and establishing stuff on the fly again to patch up the story a bit and that doesn't bode well yet again going forward.
Also this shows sense of comedic timing, when to lay on the fan service, and when to be serious and deliberate is just still a huge problem right now. The whole scenario with Shu going around trying to draw out the void and just suddenly grabbing a chicks breasts to be followed by some tired cliche dialogue is a particularly egregious example as was the whole. You've set up a mildly interesting scenario and goal for the pair at long last and it kind of feels squandered a bit on lame and tired school hijinks material.
Couple other things, the fact that Inori's void is a sword and they claim that the object reflects what's in the persons heart kind of hints that there is indeed a more cunning personality hidden somewhere beneath the surface. It seems like they are setting this up as a sort of theme with dialogues like that one and the one that Shu had with his friend. And seriously if anybody didn't immediately guess that that guy would be Sugar than for shame as there are few things more obvious about this episode than that "twist". Also, why was he even running away from the girl he grabbed? I mean what's the absolute worse thing that could possibly happen in having a pretty cute girl like that chasing after you?
The way they handled the ending was a mixed bag for me. It almost kind of looked like they might have gone for something a little different, showing Funeral Parlor's way of handling things as a little extreme as well. I had liked how Shu talked Inori down from executing Sugar and how they were looking like they were going to become friends again, but of course they had to go and basically undo it a little by having Inori be in the right in the end and Sugar turn traitor anyway. Goddamnit Yoshino, what the hell is wrong with having things end on a shades of grey note just this once. Really kind of disappointed in the way that ended, but I guess at least Shu and Inori are showing a hint of chemistry now.
Overall a passable 3rd episode that manages to rise a little above Yoshino's absolute horrid tendencies towards how to handle a story and characters, but still could have been much better, more mature, and interesting with just a few minor tweaks. Frustrating.....

I mean, if you can suspend your disbelief to accept a kid 1/2 the size of an adult pilot can sit in a cockpit of a mecha and reach all the controls, and that same mecha has a system that generates weapons and armor on the fly in response to immediate battle data analysis, I think you can relax and enjoy this show as well.
Anyways, Major Segai isn't young and nubile (at least, I don't think even this show is going to pretend he's 17 ), so I doubt Shu is going to go KAMEHAMEHA on GHQ. Which means there's a glimmer of hope that there's some actual plot happenings when Segai interrogates or whatever he does to Shu in the next episode. That, alone, makes him a villain worth rooting for!
I'm expecting some lengthy exposition from Segai to shed some light on the GHQ side of things. Of course, I could be expecting too much, but one should always hold on to hope!

I don't know, given the standard the show and Yoshino have set with it's/his writing I just expect some hilariously contrived way for Shu to exit that's going to leave people with a on their face again, but I suppose anything could happen. Also I am relaxing and enjoying the show, I just think as I said it could be THAT much more enjoyable with just a few minor tweaks including less of the black and white stuff, moderately better comic relief/fan service timing, and a little more consistency and clarification in the characters and why they are doing the things that they are doing that don't exactly make the most sense even within the context the show has set up so far. Like 3 things that could easily have been remedied by now are dragging this show down a bit for me, that's what's frustrating.

Dream Banger, Love Liver!
I'm enjoying this anime quite a lot, but then, I'm huge on artwork/animation quality, and Guilty Crown is incredible pretty and just so lovely to behold at a visual level.
I certainly don't think that the plot/characters are great, but I think they're by and large passable, at least at this point in the show (I admit that they need to get better and/or justified more, particularly Shu and Inori).
Passable plot/characters with great artwork and gloriously animated action scenes = Tiple_R is a very happy boy.
I'm not euphoric - that would require a genuinely good/great plot and compelling characters - but I'm happy.
However, I share some of your frustration in that it would really only take a bit of good proofreading/plot editing by a writing editor, and a few minor tweaks, to make this show truly special. One of the most obvious examples is that psychotic blonde villain from Episode 2. Change him to a smug hotshot pilot who sincerely thinks he's one of the "good guys" (and has some practical reason for thinking that) and it would have done a world of good.

Here is the GM "clamshell" glide-away tailgate from the full-sized station-wagon line in the early through mid/1970s, and shown in action. This was designed to be accesible, even if the vehicle was towing a trailer. The window could retract into the roof alone, of both window and tailgate could be operated at once, as shown. This feature, though innovate, did add length and weight to the vehicle.

Ford wanted the Pinto to weigh less than 2,000 Pounds & cost less than $2,000 the economy wagon. This is a awesome little station wagon that is just as cool as can be. I have been driving it around the last few days and not only is it a blast to drive and lots of people want to stop you when your at the store to ask you about it.

Outside groups spent more than candidates in 27 races, often by huge amounts
On her way to winning a Nevada Senate seat in 2016, Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto spent almost $19 million; her Republican opponent, then-Rep. Joe Heck, paid out nearly $12 million. Their combined spending of over $30 million was among the highest in the nation. Still, it was eclipsed by investments in the race by outside…

Piety and the People: Religious Printing in French, 1511-1551 (St Andrews Studies in Reformation History)By: Francis M.

DescriptionDid the 16th-century Reformation influence French language and culture? This book, the fullest available bibliography of religious printing in French during the early Reformation, provides the materials to answer this question. It assembles information on all known printed editions in French on religious subjects during the crucial period 1511-51 (up to the Edict of Chateaubriant), giving full bibliographical details, library locations and references in secondary literature. An alphabetical list is complemented by a chronological list, and by an analysis of editions by printers and publishers. The work provides the fullest checklist available of works and editions produced from all parts of the religious spectrum, both Roman Catholic and Protestant. It reveals who were the most active and influential writers, which were the most popular texts, and which were the most active printing centres in the field of religious printing in French. The chronological survey shows the immense growth in publications triggered by the Reformation movement, and reveals the radical change in religious sensibility during the period, from contemplative meditation to polemical debate.

This paper proposed StrAP (Streaming AP), extending Affinity Propagation (AP) to data steaming. AP, a new clustering algorithm, extracts the data items, or exemplars, that best represent the dataset using a message passing method. Several steps are made to build StrAP. The first one (Weighted AP) extends AP to weighted items with no loss of generality. The second one (Hierarchical WAP) is concerned with reducing the quadratic AP complexity, by applying AP on data subsets and further applying Weighted AP on the exemplars extracted from all subsets. Finally StrAP extends Hierarchical WAP to deal with changes in the data distribution. Experiments on artificial datasets, on the Intrusion Detection benchmark (KDD99) and on a real-world problem, clustering the stream of jobs submitted to the EGEE grid system, provide a comparative validation of the approach.
