Resist or Become SerfsPosted on Apr 6, 2009
By Chris Hedges (Page 2) "You are going to see the biggest waste, fraud and abuse in American history," Nader warned when I asked about the bailouts. "Not only is it wrongly directed, not only does it deal with the perpetrators instead of the people who were victimized, but they don't have a delivery system of any honesty and efficiency. The Justice Department is overwhelmed. It doesn't have a tenth of the prosecutors, the investigators, the auditors, the attorneys needed to deal with the previous corporate crime wave before the bailout started last September. It is especially unable to deal with the rapacious ravaging of this new money by these corporate recipients. You can see it already. The corporations haven't lent it. They have used some of it for acquisitions or to preserve their bonuses or their dividends. As long as they know they are not going to jail, and they don't see many newspaper reports about their colleagues going to jail, they don't care. It is total impunity. If they quit, they quit with a golden parachute. Even [General Motors CEO Rick] Wagoner is taking away $21 million." There are a handful of former executives who have conceded that the bailouts are a waste. American International Group Inc.'s former chairman, Maurice R. Greenberg, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Thursday that the effort to prop up the firm with $170 billion has "failed." He said the company should be restructured. AIG, he said, would have been better off filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection instead of seeking government help. "These are signs of hyper decay," Nader said from his office in Washington. "You spend this kind of money and do not know if it will work." "Bankrupt corporate capitalism is on its way to bankrupting the socialism that is trying to save it," Nader added. "That is the end stage. If they no longer have socialism to save them then we are into feudalism. We are into private police, gated communities and serfs with a 21st century nomenclature." We will not be able to raise another 3 or 4 trillion dollars, especially with our commitments now totaling some $12 trillion, to fix the mess. It was only a couple of months ago that our expenditures totaled $9 trillion. And it was not long ago that such profligate government spending was unthinkable. There was an $800 billion limit placed on the Federal Reserve a year ago. The economic stimulus and the bailouts will not bring back our casino capitalism. And as the meltdown shows no signs of abating, and the bailouts show no sign of working, the recklessness and desperation of our capitalist overlords have increased. The cost, to the working and middle class, is becoming unsustainable. The Fed reported in March that households lost $5.1 trillion, or 9 percent, of their wealth in the last three months of 2008, the most ever in a single quarter in the 57-year history of record keeping by the central bank. For the full year, household wealth dropped $11.1 trillion, or about 18 percent. These figures did not record the decline of investments in the stock market, which has probably erased trillions more in the country's collective net worth. The bullet to our head, inevitable if we do not radically alter course, will be sudden. We have been borrowing at the rate of more than $2 billion a day over the last 10 years, and at some point it has to stop. The moment China, the oil-rich states and other international investors stop buying treasury bonds the dollar will become junk. Inflation will rocket upward. We will become Weimar Germany. A furious and sustained backlash by a betrayed and angry populace, one unprepared intellectually and psychologically for collapse, will sweep aside the Democrats and most of the Republicans. A cabal of proto-fascist misfits, from Christian demagogues to simpletons like Sarah Palin to loudmouth talk show hosts, who we naively dismiss as buffoons, will find a following with promises of revenge and moral renewal. The elites, the ones with their Harvard Business School degrees and expensive vocabularies, will retreat into their sheltered enclaves of privilege and comfort. We will be left bereft and abandoned outside the gates. Advertisement Square, Site wide

By David Parker, April 7, 2009 at 8:24 pm Link to this comment Gold and silver cannot be counterfeited and cannot be printed out of thin air. All we the people have to do is start using silver and gold as our currency. Not easy to get, takes some education to figure out how to tell its purity, etc., but it is stable and will pull the teeth of the government and the federal (not) reserve (nothing) system (it is a racket and so is the IMF). There is a very good explanation of the game that has been playing out for a hundred years in The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin. I highly recommend it. Another point almost everyone seems to miss is that in these united States, the people are above the government, not subjects of it. We created these legal fictions and legal fictions cannot have jurisdiction over we the people. The public servants in government have jurisdiction only over the other legal fictions they create such as corporations, foundations, etc. Capitalism never runs amok. Socialist (totalitarian) policies always disrupt life for we the peole because without problems the government drones cannot hide their uselessness. War is the greatest tool used by governments to increase power and subdue we the people with threats of government collapse. I for one would like to see the FBI, BATF, IRS, Border Patrol, and all the rest have to work for a living same as I do. Who needs the feds? Not me, not my State. We can do just fine with the other states withoug the federal government. My take on it. There is no such thing as an illegal immigrant. There is however a very unamerican socialist giveaway program that attracts people who can't get a decent meal in their own country because the government has stolen everything they have and stifled every opportunity by force of arms. Sincerely,
By chabuka, April 7, 2009 at 6:19 pm Link to this comment I am sorely disappointed in the Obama administration..protecting the Bush administrations crimes and furthering the FISA/State Secret/National Security illegal actions too..? This is not the President I wanted (and he being a Constitutional Lawyer..? Shame..!!...betrayed again…John Edwards and Dennis Kucinich tried to tell people.."they" are not going to "give the power back with out a fight" we the people, will have to take it back…by force, if necessary
By Dan Litwin, April 7, 2009 at 3:52 pm Link to this comment Corporations always use government to get more than they would normally have. They make sure legislation is written to hurt the little guy and help themselves. But this is actually the lawmakers' doing, isn't it? They could say "no". So you say, "let's elect better people". And why has that not happened yet? Because whoever is elected doesn't matter. They end up with so much power that they are guaranteed to become corrupt and help the corporations. Our only hope is not for better leaders but to take power away from the legislature, stopping corruption before it starts. Take away the government's power to give special favors to corporations (regulations that hurt the little guy), and let the big bad corporations deal with 1000's of little guys. Our choice is the only real power we have. And we should be able to compete against the big guys without being held hostage to a million rules and forms to fill out. Then, the middle class will grow again, and the corporations will be on competition's leash. But no set of humans can handle the kind of power proposed for the regulatory model. We're at the end of a CENTURY of regulation. The pain we see now is the pain of regulation having killed competition and opportunity for YOU. If you are not happy now, what you hate is not captilism, as that died over the last 100 years. What you hate is regulation in its mature state. Choice is the only power. Freedom is not slavery. Thanks, Dan
By Rusty, April 7, 2009 at 2:54 pm Link to this comment If the goverment had defended the FREE MARKET, instead of conspiring with large corporations to hamstring competition, we would not HAVE these huge corporations. Thank the government for abdicating their responsibility to protect the rights of the people, and for making all this possible.
By John Dieter, April 7, 2009 at 12:10 pm Link to this comment The banks and Government are committing fraud against capitalists via the property tax appraisal districts. By forcing people to value their property by "How much a bank will loan" instead of "How much will a capitalist pay" they are forcing capitalists (who can actually afford the asset) out of the market. A Capitalist will save up $150,000 to buy an asset (a house) because, if he uses a mortgage, a large percentage of his income from the asset will go to bankers. But when the cash wielding capitalist has to compete for assets against the man with NO capitol, he finds the man with no capitol has a great advantage, because he is only paying 5 or 6 thousand dollars for his mortgage, and he doesn't care if the property is valued correctly. That is how EVERY single house in the country got valued at 4 to 5 times what it would be - if no mortgage was involved. Good for bankers. Bad for the economy, and bad for small capitalists. Until the appraisal districts start ignoring what "banks will loan" and start valuing houses at "what a capitalist investor with cash will pay" this fraud will continue.
By Christina Ottis, April 7, 2009 at 11:52 am Link to this comment another great post…. Chris, I would be really interested in your opinion of the recent legislation amending the Americorps program and the proposal for mandatory public service. thanks again for a great post!
By Doc Notorius, April 7, 2009 at 9:48 am Link to this comment The sky is falling, the sky is falling. What we don't know about the future is everything. All predictive models have failed. Chris Hedges screams from the top of a crowded mountain, his voice drowned out by all the other proselytizers of doom, or even of deliverance. The only way to protect yourself is to shore up your small footprint and be cynical of everyone with a loud voice.
By KMansfield, April 7, 2009 at 9:46 am Link to this comment Great Article! Mayponce, firedoglake.com is a great site. May be that there is none better. Crude, it aint. There are some very good comments here though. Dwight Baker, I can see that your heart is in the right place, but you are behind the times and short on some of your facts. I live in Texas too in the year 2009. Sam Houston is not the President of Texas. Contrary to your romanticized notions, The wild west is dead. I know you are scared, and your intentions are honorable, but it's impossible to read what you write, after one and 1/2 comments of yours, I skipped over the rest. Might as well be some random viagra bot posting.
By sam, April 7, 2009 at 8:56 am Link to this comment well it is true the global corporations backed up by the muscle of bought and paid for states will rule ...but it is called corporate socialism, not capitalism…......true capitalism may be seen in action down at the flea market or farmers market…once the govt. promotes certain corporations over others to uber power and control status that is corporate socialsm where the corporations exist w/ frrebies and welfare like gifts from the state, china for example has certain corporations it works thru globally…no one calls them capitalists…..this in effect is the conundrum, millions of young people being "educated" by the state to see capitalism as evil when in reality it is a new twist on socialism that is causing so much misery as the politicians gain more control over our lives and freedom and liberty is lost.And as we suffer in our ignorance and state indoctrination our very cries are for more corrupt state control of the very corporations who in effect now "are" the state, ironic and completely hopeless until we are reeducated to freedom and the true vision of capitalism .

By Ron Ranft, April 7, 2009 at 12:05 am Link to this comment Here is a link to an interview that Bill Moyers did with William Black about what Chris has written about. Black contends that this situation is fraught with fraud and Geithner is one of the people who as head of the Federal Reserve was obligated to do oversight and regulation and he did nothing and by doing nothing he broke the law. Obama has essentially put the wolves in charge of the herd. Black makes a very good case that the people Obama appointed are spending all their time covering up a fraudulent enterprise that makes the Savings and Loan debacle look like a carwash by comparison. Hedges and Nader, that crazy old man who just doesn't know when to shut up but is always right(TIC), are accurate in what they say. The MSM is not going to report it because their job is to protect the status quo. One has to go to PBS, NPR, DemocracyNow, and other non MSM and Cable News sites to get the kind of in depth honest investigative reporting that brought Nixon to his knees along with exposing a lot of other scandals. And someone posts here that the internet should be controlled? By whom? Us or them? As if it would make any difference. Censorship is practiced as much on the left as it is on the right. I for one I tired of coming here and seeing the rambling, lengthy social discourse of Twitbaker and the sheer volume of them. This is not instant messaging service nor the old bbs's where we carried on long conversations about nothing. Twit should remember that old saying about it being better to appear a fool than to open one's mouth and to leave no doubt. Stick to the issue. Disagree but if at all possible, use your brain to think rather than to fill up space with nonsense and non-sequitars!
By Steve E, April 6, 2009 at 10:56 pm Link to this comment The manufacturing base is gone. We have been subsidizing our paychecks with credit made available by the hucksters and ad men. Now they have pulled the pin only to leave many nowhere to go but government who have decided the hucksters need saving. There must be a revolution of sorts. Oil, water, electricity, healthcare for all, and last but not least, banking must be nationalized. As well the Constitution must be reworked and politicians must gain their support only from the People not the lobbyists. Election Reform has to happen. A healthy lifestyle must come before mindless consumerism. Population growth must be curbed. Capitalism wants massive mindless overpopulation. The most basic of pyramid schemes.
By keepyourheaddown, April 6, 2009 at 8:52 pm Link to this comment OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!!! REVOLUTION IS THE ONLY SOLUTION!!!!!
By Malcolm Martin, April 6, 2009 at 7:54 pm Link to this comment The words of Chris Hedges are nothing but the truth. In fact, Truthdig should run this story alone on its main page for the time the web site has left to function. The capitalist economic system is exhausted and will soon collapse. From the time of the collapse of feudalism and its birth in the Industrial Revolution, capitalism was always destined to become a dominant global force. Globalization will be a historic marker as the zenith of its existence. But globalization robbed the system of the only thing that kept its fatal internal contradictions at bay—-growth. Capitalism has conquered the planet, it has nowhere else to feed. The time of its death is now at hand. There have been riots in Greece and throughout Eastern Europe. The government's of Iceland, Latvia and the Czech Republic have fallen and others are tottering. There are preparations for civil unrest underway in China, India, Russia and the United States. Skirmishes around the world are signs the two most powerful groups that capitalism creates are beginning to engage in a final battle for power. Marx called them the bourgeoisie, the ruling class, and the proletariat, the working class. It can be most simply described as the clash between the wealthy and the working people. The fight is inevitable and it will destroy one class or the other. Then on the ruins of the old system, the class that prevails will reorganize society along the lines of their dictates. If the bourgeoisie remains on top it will not mean the restoration of capitalism to health and stability. It will mean the depopulation of the planet and the enslavement of man in a world described in the dystopian literature of Orwell, Huxley, and Atwood. Meanwhile, on our side of the class struggle, there is admittedly no US political party or other formation which expresses the destiny of the working class to power and socialism. Class consciousness would seem to be a sentiment in short supply. But think about it, would not the United States be the last place where a consciousness of themselves as a class would seize the minds of working people? That's what empire, that's what imperialism, that's what racism functions to do. Class consciousness can develop very quickly in a people though! It is on the rise in the US right now in the reaction to the Wall Street bailouts and the banker's coup that is underway. It will accelerate as the material cocoon provided by the world's dominant economy wears thin. Workers, united across all artificial boundaries created by capitalism, whether nation, race, sex, or religion are the only hope now. This is the only force capable of staying the hand of the bourgeoisie and insuring the human experiment "shall not perish from the earth", to borrow Lincoln's phraseology. In your circle, however large or small that may be, in everything you write and say, draw the boundary lines clearly for people between the opposing forces in this final class war. Don't confuse them with Democrats and Republicans. The ruling class is wealthy, we work for a living. Build our forces by raising class consciousness and giving every worker the best chance of making the right decisions in the battles just over the horizon now. No matter the very real dangers provoked, it must begin to be spoken by a warrior vanguard: socialism is the only way humankind will live into the distant future on this planet. Only a working class with a consciousness of itself and united across all racial, national and cultural boundaries is capable of seizing power. Only a working class in power will see to the end of this madness and willingly share our available resources for the sake of human survival.
By Xntrk, April 6, 2009 at 7:17 pm Link to this comment I don't mind a few religious fanatics. But why do you all SHOUT? Do you imagine yourself lost in the wilderness screaming for god's attention? It is more likely to bring Satan himself down on you, Hell Fire, Damnation, and all! Enough said, Reading the newspapers etc., it seems the public is reacting more like rats in a trap, then political animals searching for a solution. Just reach for your automatic weapon and shoot a few neighbors and your own kids. That should solve a lot of problems, especially what to do next weekend. That said, I am beginning to think there may be worse things than Alzheimer's. Surviving another 20 years with my mind intact is one… Felicity, Many people were writing and worrying about the trend towards run-away Capitalism 40 years ago. The problem then was the same as the one we face today: No one gave a damn! Of course the Ad men were no less active in the fifties and sixties. The propaganda was unending, and the only recourse was the same as it is today: Turn off the damn TV for starters. I cannot imagine today's families with a television in every 2 year old's bedroom, and a cell phone for every grade schooler. Does anyone really believe this will create anything but addicts and gotta buy consumers? Which is the whole idea of course. As I told my kids, 'violence is not Revolution'. I see much violence on the horizon, but have little hope for a Revolution that would actually improve things in the next 25 years. So, back to my garden and my dogs and the occasional phone call from someone I want to talk to.
By misfit, April 6, 2009 at 4:13 pm Link to this comment (Flow) ...now that's making sense.
By Robert Wales PhD, April 6, 2009 at 4:04 pm Link to this comment Flow, I could not agree more. I do nearly all of the things you suggest and live a better life for it. I avoid having to pay taxes-legally. Grow my own everything. I have found that Thoreau was right. You can truly create your own Walden Pond, right at home. I am still guilty of flying ocassionally to a nice beach and still love a good bbq. No way I am going to go beyond that as it literally contributes to the dysfunctional world put upon us by our leadership.
By Charles, April 6, 2009 at 4:02 pm Link to this comment All of this is for nothing, and everything is true. Corporations are in control and they own the presses. Go to the FCC and research the campaign cases brought against the FCC for equal access to the political debates. The rulings were that the events were not political debates. Anyone who could organize the masses has no printing press any longer. frogs in a pot
By David, April 6, 2009 at 12:21 pm Link to this comment I'm sure Obama will find plenty of money to keep killing civilians in Iraq and Pakistan. There is always money for mass murder. Comforting, isn't it?
By Michael, April 6, 2009 at 11:53 am Link to this comment OBAMA + BUSH = NEW WORLD ORDER PUPPETS OF THE BANKSTERS———-INFOWARS.COM
By Robert Wales PhD, April 6, 2009 at 11:13 am Link to this comment God article Chris. But, I fear, it is already too late. Things are really much more far along than we realize. And Obama might just be the worst type of leader in that he engenders our trust, talks a good game but appears to be going in the other direction. Obama is beginning to feel like a massive betrayal to me. Lastly, the police ar a major issue in that they are the ones enforcing bad laws, suppresing articles in the Constitution and have taken the us- vs.-them stance. We desperately need the police to turn around and tell lawmakers (ie, lawbreakers), that they are wrong, they are the problem and that the laws they are being asked to enforce are anti-American. I fear the cops are too ignorant, caught up and defensive to be able to grasp this last point. So, we are left to our own devices and we see that happening alrady across the country in the form of deadly violence against police. Who else can we actually fight? Lawyers? Judges? They have insulated themselves from all of us and rule by proxy from dark, private rooms. The police either don't get it or they don't care. I would ask the police to unite with the people; not the law as it has been wholly perverted.
By John Kirk, April 6, 2009 at 10:23 am Link to this comment I think Chris goes way over board, but I do agree with his perception that Obama's proposed cure is worse than the disease. We got into trouble by spending lots of borrowed money and Obama plans to repeat that mistake (with the best of intentions). This is sort of like curing an acoholic by giving him another bottle. To be blunt, the recession is not the problem, but it can be the cure to the problem of borrowing & spending foolishly. Live Long & Prosper
By David, April 6, 2009 at 9:28 am Link to this comment I think this article is a little overblown. We are not heading toward a new form of feudalism but rather the normal decline of any nation that has overstretched itself into oblivion. We have 750 military bases in 130 countries which is costing the US taxpayer $ 650 billion a year. We are fighting 2 unwinnable wars against religious fanatics which is costing us another $ 120 billion a year. We have a health care system which is bleeding hundreds of billions of dollars and yielding very little return to the American people. If we can fix all of the above we can save the US at least $ 400 to 500 billion dollars a year. I think nation will not become a third world nation but we have a lot of the problems of a third world nation with a gross missallocation of resources.

By jhm, April 6, 2009 at 5:52 am Link to this comment I agree with jackpine savage above; I can't quite decide whether the consequences of the current Paulson/Geithner plan "succeeding" (a temporarily re-inflation of the Wall St. bubble) wouldn't be worse than it it failed, and some real, sustainable solutions might be attempted. I guess if the latter is to have a shot, the current schemes need to fail fast or there will be nothing with which to implement further policy, but it might be the best chance of a teaching moment for those to whom the 'socialism' is a bête noire, not the rapine of corporatism.
By everynobody, April 6, 2009 at 5:37 am Link to this comment Unfortunately we are still in denial and refuse to see the depth of where we're going. Oh, rest assured, we will do the suffering; not the recipients of the bailouts, we the tax payers are stuck for the tab. You gat a spare 12 trillion? LOL.

World Series just another chapter in Williamsports long history
Williamsport celebrates not just the annual appearance of the Little League World Series this year, but also its own bicentennial and long and colorful history
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - From what you see of Williamsport, Pa., on television, you might expect the Little League International Complex to be situated in the midst of a bustling metropolitan area.
You might expect that Little League had created its own Fenway Park based on the huge crowds that fill TV screens regularly during the Little League World Series, and that likewise, Williamsport was sort of a down-home version of Boston, Mass.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Williamsport, located in the relatively rural central-east section of Pennsylvania is far more 'Field of Dreams' (though without the Iowa cornfield) than it is anything Fenway. Nestled between the West Branch of the Susquehanna River and the base of Bald Eagle Mountain, Williamsport is surrounded by verdant hills and replete with trees - in its way, presenting a physical appearance much like northwest Oregon only with the pine trees replaced by elms and oaks.
The city itself, which celebrates its bicentennial this year, is, frankly, not close to much of anything of regional or national import save for the Little League World Series itself. It is located some three hours northwest of Philadelphia, some four hours northeast of Pittsburgh, more than two hours almost directly north of Harrisburg and three hours south of Rochester, NY.
But despite its rural nature and isolated location, Williamsport is absolutely worth the effort to see.
The town is a fascinating mix of old (in some cases very, very old) and new (or at least newer than the very, very old stuff).
Its streets feature many rows of neat brick homes, and many others adorned with Doric or ionic columns, looking in their own ways like miniature versions of the White House and the Parthenon.
Incorporated as a borough in 1806, Williamsport officially became a city in 1866. Back in the 1800s, Williamsport was known as the Lumber Capital of the World, the city's lumber mills producing 350 million board feet per day during peak production - the highest level of production of lumber in the world.
As a result, Williamsport also became home to many millionaires, and the historic area known as Millionaires Row is still prominent today, with the Historical Preservation Society striving to revive and maintain the eclectic mix of architectural design that exists among the street's collection of huge, majestic homes.
Millionaires Row, located on West Fourth Street was the crown jewel of Williamsport in its day, a time when the city was home to more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the country.
Several of the homes along Millionaires Row (as well as in many other locations feature the Richardsonian-Romanesque style of architecture, while others are Queen Annes, Victorians, Colonial Revivals
With a population of 29,500 (as of 1999), Williamsport features a historic downtown area that is a mix of both historic and new structures. It is also the county seat of Lycoming County, the largest in land area of all 67 counties in Pennsylvania.
The city is also home to Lycoming College, a liberal arts college, and the Pennsylvania College of Technology, an affiliate of Penn State University from nearby State College, Pa.
Surrounded by more than 300,000 acres of State Game Lands, Williamsport offers many recreational activities. Other attractions include cultural events performed at the Community Arts Center, the Little League World Series and a charming and quaint downtown district.
While Williamsport itself dates to 1806, its origins reach back another 11 years to 1795 when Michael Ross (one of two city founders, along with Peter Herdic) employed surveyors to lay out the town. As was English custom at the time, the original plot of the town included a public square set aside in the center, and it has remained to the present day.
The city, by the way, was named by Ross after his son William.

You're tilting at windmills here. I have not so far mentioned anything about roll-off at 22kHz and why would I? That in the range of ultrasonics.
As for the glaring errors on that website - here's one to be going on with. The writer conflates 'multi-bit DAC' with 'R2R DAC'. So then when he goes on to claim that Philips made R2R DACs, he's in error. They didn't. They made some of the best (if not the best) multibit DACs but none were R2R. Want to argue that as a fact? Here's another - he says that the PCM1704 has 'true 24 bit noise-free resolution' - the datasheet disagrees with this claim. So are we to believe BB/TI engineers or the website author?
Wow. Isn't that just a nice insult.
I'm merely giving information. You are not. You are just stating (unfounded) facts and opinions.
The writer conflates 'multi-bit DAC' with 'R2R DAC'.
So what is the difference? What else was there other than R2R before the invention of the sigma-delta DAC? If Philips invented the dac for CD what chips did they make before?
So then when he goes on to claim that Philips made R2R DACs, he's in error. They didn't.
So what are you saying? That the TDA1543 isn't made by Philips or that it is no R2R? Then what is it? Yes, a multibit, but how does it work?
Here is another site; same content (not surprising since they are in the test). enjoythemusic.com
It is clear that mother of tone is not the first with a NOS or ZO-DAC.
I would like to compare my modded Muse 4x with that competition.
Burr Brown stateds for its PCM1704: SoundPlus™ 24-Bit, 96kHz BiCMOS Sign-Magnitude Digital-To-Analog Converter.
Here is the pdf where it states 24-bit resolution. and the noise-free you can see in the oscilloscope pictures: it still shows a sinus at -120dB compared to a flat line with a 20bit dac.
This is a quote from a developer (who seems to actually know what he is talking about and is willing to explain in plain English) that says it all imho (src).
The 1704 does work with R2R though (but keep in mind the "sign magnitude" thing which adds a little smartness to it) and for 24 bits there are no others anyway.
Just what reality isn't linear? Man, you are so confusing the issues. How can a violin IRL not sound like a violin IRL? How can reality not be reality 1:1 in normal Newtonian physics?
Yes a loudspeaker has to be linear to make a recorded violin sound lifelike. And so does a headphone. For earplugs it is different however. There the acoustics of our outer ear have to be taken in account and this give a different frequency response. I think the Etymotics website has good information on that.

Zol was found to have breached Article 2.2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to "using language or gesture(s) that is seriously obscene, seriously offensive or of a seriously insulting nature to another Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person during an International Match". (Agencies) Latest News from Sports News Desk
While Gani was found to have breached Article 2.1.4 of the Code, which relates to "using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an International Match".
Graeme La Brooy of the ICC Regional Referees Panel imposed the sanctions after both the players pleaded guilty to the offences and accepted the proposed sanctions.
One suspension point in the code equates to a suspension from the next match in which the player is most likely to participate in. As such, Zol will miss Monday's play-off match against Sri Lanka at ICC Academy 1.
The incident involving Zol happened in the 30th over when the captain caught England's Ben Duckett at short mid-wicket off Kuldeep Yadav and then used seriously offensive language at the batsman at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
In a separate incident, Gani used obscene language after having England's Ed Barnard caught by Sanju Samson in the 26th over. Both the incidents were captured on television.
The charges were laid by on-field umpires Ranmore Martinesz and Chris Gaffaney, as well as third umpire Simon Fry.

When U.S. fighter pilot Dieter Dengler (Christian Bale) escaped death after being shot down over one of the most intense front lines in the Vietnam War, his troubles were only beginning. Subsequently taken captive by the enemy and forced to endure a harrowing stint in a Vietnamese prison camp, Dengler and his fellow captives stage a death-defying escape that would later inspire one of Germany's most accomplished directors to capture the remarkable tale on camera. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Read the whole thing here (courtesy of the SL Tribune) – and yeah, emphasis added:
May a State of the Union constitutionally deny a citizen the benefit or protection of the laws of the State based solely upon the sex of the person that citizen chooses to marry?
Having heard and carefully considered the argument of the litigants, we conclude that, consistent with the United States Constitution, the State of Utah may not do so. We hold that the Fourteenth Amendment protects the fundamental right to marry, establish a family, raise children, and enjoy the full protection of a state's marital laws. A state may not deny the issuance of a marriage license to two persons, or refuse to recognize their marriage, based solely upon the sex of the persons in the marriage union.
The ruling (which I'm still reading) has lots of interesting issues – one of which I find relevant. Some people argue that the Windsor ruling should not be relevant because it stated marriage has traditionally been left to the states. This ruling reads, in part:
The Windsor majority expressly cabined its holding to state-recognized marriages, id. at 2696, and is thus not directly controlling. But the similarity between the claims at issue in Windsor and those asserted by the plaintiffs in this case cannot be ignored. This is particularly true with respect to plaintiffs Archer and Call, who seek recognition by Utah of a marriage that is valid in the state where it was performed. More generally, all six plaintiffs seek equal dignity for their marital aspirations. All claim that the state's differential treatment of them as compared to opposite-sex couples demeans and undermines their relationships and their personal autonomy.
Of course, the Windsor decision dealt with federal recognition of marriages performed under state law. But with respect to plaintiffs Archer and Call, who were married in Iowa and whose marriage Utah will not recognize under Amendment 3, the analogy to Windsor is particularly apt.
As I read this, the 10th Circuit is arguing that the issue in this case and Windsor are similar enough that Windsor is directly relevant. IOW, even though Windsor recognized that states have historically governed marriage, they still cannot violate the federal Constitution.
The 10th Circuit also recognized that the right to marry is separate from the decision and right to procreate.
Appellants' assertion that the right to marry is fundamental because it is linked to procreation is further undermined by the fact that individuals have a fundamental right to choose against reproduction. "If the right of privacy means anything, it is the right of the individual, married or single, to be free from unwarranted governmental intrusion into matters so fundamentally affecting a person as the decision whether to bear or beget a child." Eisenstadt v. Baird, 405 U.S. 438, 453 (1972) (emphasis omitted); see also Griswold, 381 U.S. at 485-86 (recognizing right of married individuals to use contraception).
There's also a moving passage about the ways in which our awareness of rights evolves:
The drafters of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments "knew times can blind us to certain truths and later generations can see that laws once thought necessary and proper in fact serve only to oppress. As the Constitution endures, persons in every generation can invoke its principles in their own search for greater freedom." Id. at 579. A generation ago, recognition of the fundamental right to marry as applying to persons of the same sex might have been unimaginable. A generation ago, the declaration by gay and lesbian couples of what may have been in their hearts would have had to remain unspoken. Not until contemporary times have laws stigmatizing or even criminalizing gay men and women been felled, allowing their relationships to surface to an open society
I'm sure there will be much commentary and lots of hysterics from conservatives.
If I were Governor Herbert I'd be asking myself a question – "Do I want my name on the case that legalizes same sex marriage in the US?"

The general category of "world music" covers a wide array of styles unknown to the main musical currents of the Western hemisphere. The catch-all term was first coined in the 1980s, as a way to denote traditional forms of music from the four corners of the globe - from Africa, Asia, Oceania and Northern Europe. Our overview of the genre takes you on a short trip around the world via some of its greatest artists, among them Youssou N'Dour (Senegal), Khaled (Algeria) and Tigran Hamasyan (Armenia).
A number of "international" artists first gained recognition in the West in the 1970s. Among them were Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar and Cameroon-born multi-instrumentalist Manu Dibango, whose 1972 single Soul Makossa was the first African song to crack the Billboard Top 40.
It wasn't until the 1980s, however, that world music gained a truly international stature, with well known Western artists such as Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel and David Byrne incorporating foreign sounds and collaborating with musicians from around the world. Byrne would go on to create Luaka Bop, a world music label that introduced Western audiences to artists such as Zap Mama.
Until "world music" became the accepted term, the genre, over the years, has alternately been dubbed "ethnic music," "folk"and "traditional music."
African musicians have long been a driving force behind the growth and popularity of world music. Two sub-genres in particular - mbalax and raï - are now known and beloved worldwide.
With his band Étoile de Dakar, iconic Senegalese singer and musician Youssou N'Dour almost singlehandedly put mbalax, a popular form of Senegalese dance music, on the world map. N'Dour has also served as an ambassador for African music. Raï, a North African musical genre, first emerged in the Oran region of Algeria, and artists such as Cheb Mami, Khaled or Rachid Taha have since thrust it onto the world stage by modernizing the Raï style.
Also contributing to the worldwide development of African music have been Salif Keita and Mory Kanté. Drawing on his roots in mandingue Afro-pop, the Malian-born Keita burst onto the international stage with his 1987 album Soro, while the Guinean-born singer and musician Kanté is best known for his mastery of the kora, a 21-string West African harp. Kanté first enjoyed international success with the 1988 single Yéké Yéké.
Other influential African artists include the late great Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré, Congolese singer/songwriter Papa Wemba, Senegalese singer Baaba Maal - who combines rare vocal clarity and power -, Malian Toumani Diabaté, king of the kora, and Koffi Olomidé, perhaps the best known practitioner of soukous, a genre of dance music popular in the Congos.
African women, too, have made their mark: Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo has been among the most successful recording artists on the world music scene since the 1990s, together with South African singer and composer Busi Mhlongo (aka the "Queen of Maskanda") and award-winning Malian singer, songwriter and guitarist Rokia Traoré. All three have achieved a brilliant synthesis between the traditional musical styles of their respective countries and contemporary musical currents. No shortlist of leading female world music artists would be complete without the incomparable Cesaria Evora, the barefoot diva and singer of morna, the traditional music of Cap-Vert.
Asian sounds hold a special place in the world music pantheon. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the Pakistani master of qawwali, a Sufi musical style popular in India and Pakistan, conquered audiences worldwide with the incantatory power of his voice. When Khan passed away in 1997, his nephew Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and singer Faiz Ali Faiz were among those who took up the torch.
Until his death in 2009, composer and sarod player Ali Akbar Khan was considered a national treasure in India, and he is widely regarded as one the most important musicians of the 20th century. India is also the birthplace of sitar virtuosos Vilayat Khan and Ravi Shankar, while Mohammed Sharif Khan is among the most accomplished of the contemporary sitarists.
With over 2000 years of musical history, China draws on a rich tradition whose instrumental mainstays include the guzheng (also known as the Chinese zither), the erhu (aka the Chinese violin), as well as lutes, flutes, mouth organs, and the pipa, a Chinese lute with four silk strings. World-renowned pipa virtuoso Wu Man is among the Middle Kingdom's most important musicians.
In Sweden, the group Väsen has used a mastery of the nyckelharpa, a traditional stringed instrument, to offer a hybrid form of music blending elements of jazz, classical and folk.
The music of Eastern Europe, for its part, is steeped in Slavic, tsigane and Ottoman influences. The Bulgarian repertoire is one of epic chants with lute accompaniment, and Traditional Bulgarian instruments also include the kaval - a wooden flute -, the bagpipes and the oboe. Hungary's musical traditions, meanwhile, have endured thanks in part to the group Muzsikás and to singer Márta Sebestyén.
Nothing says Spain more than flamenco. Yet the flamenco, fundamentally, is a dance style of the Andalusian gypsies set to guitar, with the performer also using hand claps and castanets. The flamenco sound has been modernized in recent years with the addition of electric bass, and today's nouveau flamenco artists borrow from rock, salsa, rumba and pop. Fado, the hugely popular Portuguese folk tradition, has also evolved, with the likes of Mariza and Misia lending it a more personal touch.
Celtic music is rooted in the rich cultural heritage of Ireland, and to this day the music is sung in Gaelic and English, with the staples of the Irish repertoire - the harp, fiddle, bagpipes, flute and accordion - providing the accompaniment. The best known traditional Irish groups include Planxty and The Chieftains.
Cajun music also holds a special place in the extended world community, with groups such as the Louisiana-based Beausoleil leading the way and young artists like Cedric Watson setting the course for the future.
Africa has long held a place of prominence at the Festival. In 1989, percussionist Ray Lema and saxophonist Manu Dibango performed as part of La nuit africaine II, and in 1995, Baaba Maal and socially engaged singer Oumou Sangare took the Festival stage as part of Africa Fête.
Youssou N'Dour last touched down at the Festival in 2004, performing songs from his album Nothing's in Vain at the Métropolis. The same year, white Zulu Johnny Clegg was among the star attractions at the show Les 10 ans de la fin de l'apartheid. Then, in 2005, Khaled thrilled Festival fans with songs from his new album titled Ya-Rayi. Two years later, Rachid Taha closed the Festival under the stars, accompanied by Algerian-born Quebec singer/songwriter Lynda Thalie.
In 2008, the traditional rhythms of Mali were feted during a double-bill featuring Salif Keita and singer-guitarist Vieux Farka Touré, son of Ali Farka Touré. Then, in 2009, Nigerian singer King Sunny Ade, king of the juju, a mix of Yoruba rhythms and electric sounds, performed alongside charismatic fellow countryman Femi Kuti, son of Fela Kuti, the father of Afrobeat.
Lebanese musician Rabih Abou-Khalil, a master of the oud, the Arab lute, gave a rousing performance at the 2002 Festival. In 2009, double bassist Renaud Garcia-Fons performed as part of a remarkable flamenco duo with dancer Sabrina Romero. Paco de Lucía, the god of the flamenco guitar, has given some unforgettable performances since he first appeared at the Festival in 1986.
The exotic sounds of India have also spiced up the Festival. The 2009 show Miles from India gave Festival fans a chance to hear tabla virtuoso Badal Roy, as well as eminent mandolinist U. Shrinivas.
The Quebec-based group Gadji-Gadjo has brought its special blend of klezmer- and tsigane-inspired musical mayhem to the Festival site on numerous occasions, with clarinets, violins and the accordion supplying the festive airs.
In 2009, Brazilian-born singer Bïa presented her fifth album at the Festival, singing in Spanish, Portuguese and French. The same year, the Montreal group Kaba Horo brought its heady blend of traditional Balkan music, jazz, funk and rock to the Festival.
The 2009 edition marked singer-songwriter Lhasa de Sela's final appearance at Festival - and what a night it was, with De Sela performing alongside Patrick Watson. The 2010 edition will see Elisapie Isaac make her Festival debut. The singer-songwriter from Canada's North recently launched There Will Be Stars, on which she sings in English, French and Inuktitut.
In 2010, bassist, singer and songwriter Richard Bona returns to perform tracks from his 2009 release, The Ten Shades of Blues. Several world musicians will mark their debut appearances at the 2010 Festival, among them singer Diego El Cigala and pianist Dorantes, two of nouveau flamenco's leading artists. Also appearing at the Festival for the first time will be Lebanese-born trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf. The 2010 Festival will also welcome young pianist Tigran Hamasyan, who combines the folk music of his native Armenia with jazz and hard rock.

Robert DeMott writes that Oliver, along with Theodore Roethke and Galway Kinnell, is "sensitive to visitations by the 'dark things' of the wood." Two characteristics emerge here: that Oliver is a poet of death and of nature. But Diane Wakoski notices that "If Oliver writes of 'dark things,' they are friendly, benevolent dark things. Even her vision of death is gentle, pastoral and haunting, rather than fearful or violent." Perhaps Wakoski forgot the "knife at the throat" in "Music Lessons."
As to nature, the ambitious collection of fifty-one poems entitled Twelve Moons (1979), from which "Music Lessons" comes, primarily concentrates on the imagery and cycles of nature, including twelve poems dedicated to different lunar phases. Oliver celebrates the natural cycles of birth, decay, and death as flourishing in all life. In the poetic landscape of Oliver's mythic worlds, starry realms are connected to the realms of...

Yzerman over Russia, focused on Slovakia
by Dan Rosen / Detroit Red WingsVANCOUVER -- It's the morning after Canada's biggest and most important win in the Olympics since 2002, and Steve Yzerman already has moved on.
That's how things work in a one-and-done tournament when the prize remains a couple of games away.
"Now we have, yeah," Team Canada's executive director told NHL.com Thursday morning. "You feel good about the game last night, our players do, but then you get up and meet with the coaches and they are already in preparation for Slovakia, so you just don't have a lot of time. It's much like a playoff series -- you feel good about the last game and wake up the next morning and start to get ready for the next game."
The next game is Friday (9:30 p.m. EST/6:30 p.m. PST, NBC, CTV) in the semifinals against Slovakia. The Slovaks upset Sweden 4-3 just hours after Canada crushed Russia 7-3.
Sweden would have been a more familiar opponent for Team Canada coach Mike Babcock, considering he'd be coaching against four of his own players from the Detroit Red Wings, but Canada isn't like the rest of the hockey world that is surprised by Slovakia.
The Canadians know their opponent well and have been following them closely.
"There is a lot of familiarity," Yzerman said. "(Branko) Radivojevic, (Zigmund) Palffy, (Richard) Zednik -- all those guys that used to play in the NHL we know very well. And obviously (Zdeno) Chara, (Marian) Hossa, (Marian) Gaborik, etc. They have been in the NHL a long time so we know those players. The majority of hockey fans know those guys, too. They are not unfamiliar to us. You can't say you don't know this guy and that guy. They're good and we've been watching them."
More important, Yzerman has been watching his own team improve on a game-to-game basis. He tried to make everyone believe that was happening Monday, roughly 24 hours after the U.S. struck fear into Canada with a 5-3 victory.
After seeing Canada siphon all the gas out of the Russian machine Wednesday, Yzerman's words are ringing true.
"It's much easier, I think, to be on the inside with the team and in the locker room because the coaches see what's going on and gauge the atmosphere of the team, where you're going and what you're trying to accomplish," Yzerman said. "Everyone watching is like, 'Oh my God, they lost.' You feel like the world has come to an end. But we have all been at this for a long time, playing in these tournaments, and you just can't get discouraged. You have to analyze each game for what it is.
"(Wednesday) night, as good as things were, there are things we have to improve upon for the next game. Now that we're in the elimination phase it's a little bit different because you have to win, but that's the way it is. You win a game and everything is great, but you lose and the world comes to an end. For the players and coaches, they know you just keep moving on."
The same holds true for Slovakia. Yzerman, for one, is not about to take the surprise semifinalists lightly -- nor is he buying into the argument that Slovakia has nothing to lose in Friday's semifinal.
"They want to win a gold medal, too, and they are in a position that if they win two games they get to win a gold medal," he said. "It's not like if they lose the game they are going to be happy. We've all got something to lose. They have beaten Russia and Sweden, two of the favorites for gold, so they are a very good team."
With the Canada's focus squarely on Slovakia, the celebration after steamrolling Russia seems like it happened in another decade.
"The desperation increases," Yzerman said. "Every game gets tougher as the importance of the game grows."

Today we walked almost two hours, from our house straight west, up the big hill where we could turn back and look out over the valley. Then on to the lake, with a couple stops in to tour the model homes. One was the most light-filled, spacious small house I have ever seen-- on 3 levels, and positively inviting. Decorated by Ikea. We even sat on the front porch for a bit to imagine what it would be like to live there and decided our front porch is better.
Then on to the lake, which was as still and smooth as glass, with the wavy reflection of the houses making the water surface look like an impressionist painting. Still a few ducks on the water, although most have gone South by now. We would have enjoyed sauntering further along the lake, but we were getting tired, and it was still forty minutes back home. A beautiful, mild November day, perfect for a long walk.

In Surprise, Arizona, the Rangers received all they could ask for from their respective starters. Yu Darvish had full command of his fastball that sat between 93-95 mph as he threw 23 of 29 pitches for strikes. Darvish struck out four batters in his two innings of work. Something that Greg Maddux hinted at this offseason is for the Japanese pitcher to start throwing more fastballs and getting ahead in the count early. Well, he did just that. All eight batters that he faced saw a first pitch fastball. "I think it worked out very well," Darvish said.
Something that Darvish wasn't used to last year was having an early lead, or a lead at all. "Hopefully we can turn that around," said Prince Fielder who absolutely crushed a bullet over the right field fence in his second at bat. The Rangers lead 4-0 before Darvish was done for the day and finished with an 11-7 victory. "I just got lucky…he threw the ball where my bat was going," Fielder said about his homer that was no shy of at least 350 feet.
Michael Choice saw action against two lefty's at the plate and was 2-2. Seeing that Choice is going to be facing plenty of southpaws this year, his performance was a good sign. Adrian Beltre knocked a double and walked once while scoring on both trips on the bases. Mitch Moreland had an RBI single hitting as the DH today. Newly acquired catcher J.P. Arencibia also legged out a double and had one RBI. Tommy Hanson threw 1.1 innings giving up 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 strikeout and an unearned run. Hanson's fastball stayed around 89-90 mph.
The Texas Rangers and The Kansas City Royals are back in action tomorrow at 2:05 p.m. CT.

This is very true about javascript.
Thanks Glenn.
Nice presentation

Excellent article that taught me a lot about JavaScript...
Chris Randall
It's the approach that states the speaker must make the audience understand the topic, rather than like here in England where the emphasis is on the audience member giving his or her full concentration towards understanding the subject of the talk.
This was one of the more informative talks I've had the pleasure of watching. I've always tended to avoid using JavaScript, but after watching this presentation, I will be investing much more time in learning the subject.

Big Authors Release New Titles Several big authors have released some excellent stories for your little ones. Read on for our reviews on Jan Brett, Mo Willems, Jon Klassen, Michael Ian Black, and Susanna Reich. Mossy by Jan Brett (suggested ages: Kindergarten - 2nd grade) Mossy the turtle loves the beautiful garden growing on her back, but she's not the only one. One day while Mossy looks at her reflection in her favorite lake, Dr. Carolina scoops Mossy up from the wild and brings her to exhibit at her museum. Dr. Carolina's neice, Tory takes a liking to the little turtle and notices that Mossy is not happy. In the end, Tory finds a solution to make both Mossy and the museum visitors happy. Jan Brett carefully crafts a unique tale of captivity and the joys of the wild. I love how Brett introduces more complex vocabulary with elegance, the definition evident in the picture and the context.

every type of consumer account--individual (or single-ownership),
joint, and payable-on-death (POD)--the proposed rule provides a
straightforward, easy-to-understand example.

revisions to the deposit insurance rules that would:

Ok, Robin and Ralph blast Dr. Drew for putting addicts and alcoholics on TV to shameless exploit them, but how is that different than what Howard did to Hank? So it is ok to give a raging alcoholic alcohol and use his inebriation for a comedy bit, but it is immoral to try to treat addicts and alcoholics on TV with licensed addictions specialist and doctors for entertainment? Howard talked about the number of deaths of Celebrity Rehab participants, but how about the death toll of Wack Packers? Hank. Kenneth Keith. Andrea almost died because of her alcoholism that Howard happily fed. Bigfoot is in custody because of his mental illness that Howard exploited. EDIT: Didn't see the other thread about this. Please merge or delete.
All I know is that if Hanzi is on his medication when he does his show he can forget about doing a second show.
dr drew gets these mental patients on their last legs. those people are out of options & pretty much done.
So are Howard's guests. Difference is that Howard puts a bottle of Vodka in their hands while Dr. Drew tries to rehab them.
Last I checked Howard and crew hadn't taken an oath to do no harm while Pinsky did and proceeded to use "people on their last legs" like Stripes called em to line his wallet with fake bullshit rehab that you "graduate" from after a few weeks and then are sent on your merry way with another check to drink, smoke or shoot up.
I loved when Howard used to say he didn't care if Artie did heroin as long as he was funny on the show. That's ok. If Howard tried to stage an intervention on the air, he would be a despicable scumbag.
So it is ok to encourage an alcoholic to drink himself to death at age 40 for good radio as long as you haven't sworn the Hippocratic Oath? I am not saying that what Dr. Drew does is right, but that doesn't excuse what Howard does which is worse considering he encourages people to spiral to oblivion chasing their demons for radio. Hank. Sam. Andrea. Artie. The list goes on with people he helped to drive to death or near death for the sake of his show.
Mike Starr, bassist for Alice in Chains, and Joey Kovar, a "Real World" participant. Los Angeles riots spark Rodney King and actor Jeff Conaway also have passed away. Starr and Kovar overdosed and King was found dead in his pool with alcohol and marijuana in his system. Conaway was initially thought to have overdosed, but died of pneumonia and an infection
"Ok" is subjective but besides the point I never said it was ok for Howard to do it. Sorry but what Pinsky does is far worse considering the position he elected to take for himself and the oath he made. Howard is just an asshole while Pinsky is supposed to be a responsible member of a responsible profession.
I think the problem is with Robin saying that Dr. Drew exploits these people while Howard was exploiting them too. I'm not saying Dr. Drew isn't wrong for his exploitation but the hypocrisy of the Stern show condemning Dr. Drew is ridiculous.
I disagree. I think what Howard does is far worse. Pinsky most likely thinks he is helping the celebrities he has on his show. Whether it is right or the best way to get these people rehabilitated, he probably thinks he was helping. Howard clearly didn't care if people like Hank lived or died as long as they provided good radio on the way to death. He even helped them move closer to death by fueling their addictions. It would be like one of us going to an AA meeting and passing around alcohol to see what they would do for our own personal amusement. What Dr. Drew does may be really irresponsible. What Howard did was heartless. Both are wrong, but only one had even a slightest sliver of good intentions.
Howard didn't have anything to do with those wackpack misfortunes. Big Foot is 10x the exploiter than Howard is. He just ran out of people to use up. That's why he's locked up. Kenneth Keith died at the hands of the people who were supposed to be "rehabilitating" him. Hank wasn't long for this world with or without Howard and Andrea likes to drink with or without Howard. I always thought Howard gave these people something to look forward to. Hey, I put 20-25k in Big Foot's pocket and been told I exploited him. To all those people, I say.

Photo Ops
Forget The Swanthe increasing ease of digital image capture and distribution ensured that the year's most gruesomely riveting reality show is reality itself. Democratizing Iraq hasn't gone well for George and Rummy, but the democratization of technology is burgeoning, filling the blogosphere with torture porn. As Moore's Law (Michael or Gordon, take your pick) declares, what a difference a year makes. Running PR from Doha and sealing the press into tank hulls already seem like quaint control tactics of yesteryear. But the expanded opportunities for image-sharing demand that we look afresh at the boundaries of the digital divide, face new questions about the politics of photography, and re-examine the ethics and expectations of video activism.
This year's Human Rights Watch International Film Festival not only features several films dealing with detention and torture, but quite a few evidencing the agility and intimacy of DIY-friendly technology. Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman's Born Into Brothels is one of a handful built around transferring the means of production to subjects. Teaching photography in Calcutta's slums, Briski provides the children of prostitutes with cameras and urges them to document their surroundings. We're introduced to the children through their work, watching these articulate selves find voices through the process of creation. Still, the technology divide is glaring as we follow their photos to exhibitions abroad and wonder if the ability to capture their destitution will be of any solace to the young artists as they enter red-light-district adulthood.
Similarly, Leslie Neale's Juvies begins in a videography class with detention center kids in California waiting to be tried as adults. As arguably incidental perpetrators like Duc, nabbed for being in a car from which shots were fired, are slammed with prison sentences, educational opportunities are stripped away. A look at kids from very different circumstances, Discordia profiles subjects who have the luxury to develop into nascent statespeople. This story of unrest at Montreal's Concordia College after Palestinian students protest a speech by Benjamin Netanyahu acquaints us with three media-savvy student activists on opposite sides of the issue who have in common their political passion and a comfort level in front of the camera.
Human Rights Watch International Film Festival
June 11 through 24, Walter Reade
Like Danae Elon, director of the recent Tribeca entry Another Road Home, Paradise Lost's Ebtisam Mra'ana is a woman in her twenties sifting through the past to move forward. When she sojourns to London to track down a former rebel girl repeatedly imprisoned for embracing the PLO in the '70s, she finds a broken person who, while providing a helpful vantage on their small town's oppression, is not the mentor she imagined. Another female quasi-memoirist, university-educated Sabiha Sumar weaves personal recollections with the story of Pakistan's increasing Islamism in For a Place Under the Heavens. Her chats with intellectual feminist friends contrast starkly with interviews of two burka'd acquaintances, one who lost a son to jihad and one who coos to her toddler to become a martyr.
In the realm of more traditional activist filmmaking, Persons of Interest's catalog of 9-11 detainees is a must-see despite being hamstrung by director Alison Maclean and Tobias Perse's overly conceptual interview process. On a holding-cell-like set, subjects are asked to hold up name placards while they relate their stories. Periodically, the sound slips into voice-over and the subject is shown simply standing without speaking. Stories this powerfullike that of a Rockland County man who was detained in part because of his son's flight-simulator video gamehardly require such pushy stylization.
Both Deadline and Repatriation explore the agony of long-term imprisonment. The first does a somewhat scattered job of reflecting the process by which Illinois governor George Ryan commuted the sentences of all the state's death row inmates, while the second, a decade-spanning epic, chronicles the personal and political effects of South Korea's decision to free and repatriate "unconverted" North Korean Communists who have grown old in South Korean prisons. The project was taken up by documentarian Kim Dong-won when he befriended some released prisoners residing in his village in 1992. The following 10 years are shown to have been an exhausting back-and-forthboth the North and South using the planned repatriation of these unrepentant Communists as a propaganda tool.
Kim is up-front about his own search for political identity through his relationship with his new neighbors, these "grandpas" who become gurus to South Korean leftists as well as by turns revered and reviled symbols of possible reunification. Amid the chaos of propaganda, Kim clings to the act of filming as a way to maintain a grip on a personal sense of order. There's always the hope that a picture can humanize the other, the first step in healing any rift. Exhibiting similar faith, the two protagonists in Saints and Sinnersa gay Manhattan couple seeking marriage in the Catholic Churchplace ultimate value on their wedding picture running in the Times. The marriage is made real to the outside world not by the power of the church, but by the weight of one well-placed image.

The body's storage of excess fat helped early man survive frequent food shortages and an inability to locate nearby diners without GPS. Help evolution along with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $999 for one body-jet water-liposuction treatment on a small area—chin, upper abdomen, or lower abdomen (a $3,500 value)
- $1,499 for one body-jet water-liposuction treatment on a large area—love handles, outer thighs, hips, arms, or bra line (a $5,500 value)<p>
Said to be gentler than traditional liposuction, body-jet water liposuction permanently removes unwanted fat cells by nudging away lipid-filled tissues with a water-jet system. The procedure requires local anesthesia, takes 30–60 minutes, and typically produces less bruising and swelling than traditional liposuction, leading to less downtime. An initial consultation is required.

I was born in Illinois and have worked here for 90 percent of my life. In 2009 I was unemployed and a single mother of an infant boy. I went to Tazewell County Human Services in March or April of that year for assistance. I received help through a medical card and food stamps. I began working at a call center in late April, 2009, and called my caseworker to let her know. We will call her "Mrs. J."
I was about to get married. We stopped services and moved away from Illinois in 2011. In May 2011, I got a letter stating that I owed Illinois due to an overpayment. I called Mrs. J and she stated that there had been a "misunderstanding" about the help I received from my family, and that they would need to recalculate and get back to me.
In October 2011, my new family and I were living in Oklahoma. I received a letter again stating that I owed Illinois more than $1,400 in overpayment. Again I called Mrs. J. She said that she thought that had been taken care of months before, that it was a miscalculation on their end. We were about to move again, this time to Minnesota.
My husband and I were very surprised to discover, after we filed our taxes in 2013, that we were missing $1,400, which had automatically been taken out. Again I called Mrs. J. We were working on getting my old pay stubs from back in 2009 and refiguring all the miscalculations from the state. It was a long process.
I called Human Services in October 2013 and was told that Mrs. J was no longer there. A supervisor told me I would not be getting a refund — something about it being too old of a claim and they had gotten new computers and several new caseworkers. No one would call me back to explain why after years of working on this, they had put me in a back corner. Really?
No wonder Illinois is considered corrupt. This was not my fault. I used the benefit when I needed it. I didn't abuse the system. Yet I am being punished. We are not talking a couple of hundred dollars, but over a thousand. I should get my money back, with interest. I have been fighting this battle for more than two years.
