Week of 1.30.09
Billions in Bogus Bonuses?
It appears that your computer does not have the Flash Player required to view NOW videos. Visit Adobe to download and install the latest version of the Flash Player.President Obama has issued a scathing critique of Wall Street following news that Wall Street employees were paid more than $18 billion in bonuses last year as the financial sector melted down. What should his administration do to crack down on banks, given that some experts are suggesting an additional $1 trillion to $2 trillion may be needed to bail them out?
This week, David Brancaccio sits down with financial reporter Bethany McLean —who broke the Enron story —to look at options on the table for stabilizing the country's financial system. Is nationalizing our banks a viable solution?
Almost everyone agrees that our banks need federal money to avoid even more calamity, but how much is too much, and who's watching how they spend it?

Aggressive rhetoric and a push for Israel to attack Iran have been, lately, intensified in the American media. While senators are trying to get President Obama to officially support an Israeli attack on Iran, reporters of the main media are trying to convince the average American that Iran's (non-existent) nuclear weapons program, half the globe away, is a threat to America, and the only viable way to stop Iran is through an Israeli "preventive" attack. They claim that the consequences of such an attack, warned by some military strategists as devastating, are "overblown".
Many Zionist-bought Senators assert that the Congress strongly rejects nuclear Iran and supports the use of all means to keep Iran from acquiring a bomb including through military actions. Reiterating this assertion during their visit to Israel last July, Senators McCain, Lieberman and Graham hinted that Israel could spearhead such an attack that would definitely draw American forces in the conflict to finish the job.
Ignoring the dire consequences of such a war specifically on the US, Israel, and the Middle East, and the whole world in general, 47 House Republicans had introduced and signed onto a resolution (HR 1553) declaring "support for Israel's right to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by Iran … including the use of military force." It is understood that nuclear "tactical bombs" are to be used for such a military force to be effective. This resolution is now on its way through the Congress and Senators are under pressure to endorse it.
The main media is doing its part to sell this war to the American citizens. Major articles about the subject were published by leading pro-Zionist, pro-war neoconservatives such as previous CIA agent Reuel Marc Gerecht, who published his exceptionally very long article "Should Israel Bomb Iran? –Better Safe than Sorry". Steven Simon and Ray Takeyh from Washington Post had also published their long article "A Nuclear Iran: Would America Strike to Prevent It?" Bill Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard and commentator on Fox News Channel published his article "A Period of Consequences; Our Dangerous Iran policy".
The common theme with these writers is their addressing of the alleged Iranian nuclear "threat" to the American people although half the globe afar. They claim that economic sanctions and the American diplomacy are ineffective and insist that a military action by the US, or perhaps Israel, would be a better solution than mere talks. The danger of these articles is that they greatly downplay Iranians' ability to defend themselves and to counter-attack effectively.
The writers encourage nuking of Iran as the only solution to "curtail its ambitions". Gerecht asserts "an Israeli bombardment remains the only conceivable means of derailing or seriously delaying Iran's nuclear program and –equally important –traumatizing Tehran …(an Israeli) preventive strike remains the most effective answer to (Iran) having nuclear weapons."
Drawing the American forces in the conflict the writers misleadingly assert that US military, although engaged in two ongoing wars, is still fully capable of "carrying out such a mission." They dangerously and extremely minimize the effect of such an attack as "limited", as if the Iranians would stand by and let the US or Israel obliterates their country and their citizens.
Similar to pre-2003 Iraqi situation, the US and Israel are using the threat of" non-existent" Iranian nuclear weapons to rally international support for a regime change in Iran. They are accusing Iran with the same grave violations that they themselves (US & Israel) possess. Iran is being punished by severe economic sanctions based on Israeli and American unfounded accusation that Iran, a member of the NPT, is building an atomic bomb despite the November 2007 assertion of the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), summarizing the unanimous opinion of all 16 secret services, that Iran had stopped its nuclear weapons program. The assertion stated: "We judge with high confidence that in fall of 2003 Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program … We assess with moderate confidence Tehran has not restarted its nuclear program as of mid 2007."
IAEA's reports confirm that there is no evidence that Iran is currently pursuing an atomic weapon program. Iran is criticized and is sanctioned for what the US and Israel think Iran would do, rather than for what Iran is doing. Iran is exercising its legitimate right, as per the NPT, of acquiring peaceful atomic technology.
The US itself possesses thousands of nuclear bombs, and although a member of the NPT, is still working on what is called nuclear tactical bombs. Israel on the other hand is not a member of the NPT, yet it is very well known that Israel has between 200-300 nuclear bombs as exposed by Mordechai Venunu, an Israeli atomic technician, who used to work in the Israeli atomic facility in Dimona. Former President Jimmy Carter mentioned in May 2008 that Israel has 150 nuclear bombs.
Although having democratic elections Iran is demonized as a religious dictatorship. Similarly, Israel, although having democratic elections, is a religiously dominated society aiming at fulfilling their religious prophesy of Greater Jewish Israel. The American foreign policy is greatly tainted by influential religious groups such as the Jewish AIPAC and Zionist Evangelical Christians. This influence can be easily seen in Bush's description of his wars as "crusades", and in the use, by main media, of terms such as "Islamofascist", "Islamic terrorists", "Islamic extremist" and other religiously pejorative words to describe the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and Iran.
While giving themselves the right to invade, occupy, destroy and devastate Iraq and Afghanistan under the accusations that such countries are threatening the US half the globe across, the American administration and Israel deny Iranians same right to defend its borders when its neighboring country is occupied by another country that keeps threatening to nuke their country, and accuse them of supporting terrorists in Iraq.
Iranian president Ahmadinejad is labeled as a new Hitler with a mad pathologically terror-stricken anti-Semitic Jew-hating Islamofascist regime intending on expanding its authority over the Middle East. Israel is playing the role of always the victim in a self-defense mode rather than the instigator of hostilities, and considers any criticism of its terror as anti-Semitic. Israeli leaders are worst than Hitler for what they had done to the Palestinians. Their government is a Zio-Nazi regime based on religious superiority complex, and intent on wiping off all Arabs and Moslems in between the Nile and Euphrates, as they had done in Palestine, in order to build their Greater Jewish Israel to spread its authority not only on the Middle East but also on the whole world. Israel is anti-Arab (anti-Semitic), anti-Moslems, and, as will eventually become apparent, anti-Christian.
The American administration is the worst of them all. Since its establishment until the present day the US has been in a state of perpetual wars and genocide against other nations. Its military bases are spread all over the globe to control and to manipulate other countries under the guise of spreading freedom and democracy.
Iranian Ahmadinejad is falsely accused of denying the Jewish Holocaust and of threatening to wipe off Israel, when in reality all what he had suggested was a serious and open historical study of the Holocaust similar to any other historical event, and had stated that the Zionist regime in Israel would bring an end to itself due to its terrorist actions against others. Iran had never threatened to strike any other country, including Israel, unless it was attacked first. Israel, on the other hand, denies the Palestinian Nakba and Palestinian pogroms perpetrated by the Israeli army and by Israeli terrorist settlers. Besides wiping Palestine off the map Israel, backed by the American administration, is threatening to nuke Iran and wipe off Iranian cities and citizens in mass. The US is also denying it's genocidal and war crimes against other nations, the least of them is the annihilation of millions of indigenous American Indians and the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki wiping off hundreds of thousands of people within few seconds. The Administration is still using the threat of nuclear strike against non-nuclear countries to force them to follow the American dictate.
The real goal of all these accusations is a regime change in Iran, similar to the Shah regime, that would allow the flocking of foreign corporations to exploit Iran's natural resources especially oil and gas. Since Israel has been complaining that one or two Iranian nuclear bombs pause an existential threat to its citizens, one would expect Israeli leaders and the American administration to be satisfied with the Iranian low enriched uranium swap tripartite deal, brokered by Iran, Turkey and Brazil.
Many political analysts fear that Israel might attack Iran before the end of this month (August). Israel has been preparing long for such an attack. Last July 2009 Israeli air forces had been training on bombing raids at Nellis Air Force base in Nevada, while the Israeli missile defense shield program was tested off the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Also in June 2009 two Israeli missile class warships and a German made Dolphin Israeli submarine with cruise missiles equipped with the most sophisticated nuclear warheads in the Israeli arsenal, had passed through the Suez Canal to be stationed in the Persian Gulf off the Iranian coast. Since the Israeli air forces need to fly through Iraqi air space the attack needs to happen before the US turns security control to the Iraqi forces end of August, and before Iran defuses the tension by swapping its nuclear fuel early September.
An Israeli strike would have a devastating effect on the whole world. Iran is a powerful country and has just added to its arsenal many domestically-built weapons such as Mersad anti-aircraft missile, Ghadir class mini-submarines, and the lethal Noor anti-ship missiles. There is a rumor that Iran had just acquired four S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems.
The Iranians are expected to counter attack with long range missiles against Israel. All the American aircraft-carriers in the Gulf are sitting ducks for the Iranian missiles. Iranians would also target all the American military bases in the Gulf. They would start supplying surface-to-air missiles to Taliban that would jeopardize American war in Afghanistan. Having a defense treaty with Iran, Syria and Turkey may be drawn into the conflict. Hezbollah and Hamas would hit Israel from North and South. The Iranians would definitely close the Strait of Hermuz blocking all the oil shipments. Blocking, for even few weeks, Iran's 7% of internationally traded oil plus another 40% of global oil exports from the Arab Gulf States would cripple the whole international economy.
An Israeli strike would ignite Armageddon in the Middle East, and it would spread to the rest of the world. The question that poses itself is: Is the American Congress really crazy to support such an Israeli strike?

A lot different than the old uniforms, which were featured on many "worst uniforms" lists.
The Seahawks' new-look Nike uniforms finished in a tie for second in a recent SportsBusiness Daily/SportsBusiness Journal readers' survey to determine the best team uniforms in sports.
The New York Yankees were No. 1, with 32 percent of the votes, while the Seahawks, Green Bay Packers and Chicago Blackhawks of the NFL each received nine percent.
PS: Not sure if it meant to say Chicago Bears, since it said "of the NFL".

If the findings from the studies indicate that the lagoon project is not financially feasible for the town to undertake, then the project will go away. If the studies indicate that the lagoon is financially feasible, then the Town Council will need to make a decision if it wants to proceed with the project. If the Council wants to proceed, then there will need to be open houses and public hearings as the State Parks Department has indicated that the town will need to demonstrate community support before proceeding. This is due to the fact that the town applied for and expended Arizona Heritage Fund grants and federal grants to make improvements to Fountain Park. It is also anticipated that voters will have a say at the ballot box if the Town Council were to refer the proposed lagoon project to voters as a possible project to be financed by bonds.
Show All Answers
No, the Crystal Lagoon project is not approved. The project is in its proposal stage awaiting the completion of a feasibility study, after which the study's findings will be presented to Town Council and the public.
It is anticipated that the feasibility studies will be completed sometime in October. Both firms will present their findings and recommendations to the Town Council at either a Council work session or a special session.
The feasibility study is being completed in partnership by Swaback Partners and Hunden Partners/Applied Economics with support from Crystal Lagoons.
Crystal Lagoons is the company that is providing technical details related to costs for a proposed swimming lagoon in Fountain Park. There is no cost to the town for technical information obtained from the company that will be used in the feasibility study.
Swaback Partners will help to identify programming needs of a swimming lagoon. The firm will also evaluate Fountain Park and potential locations for a possible lagoon. This will provide basic information such as the cost to build the facilities to support the lagoon. The firm will also provide conceptual renderings. The firm will be paid $20,000 for completing its scope of services.
Hunden Partners/Applied Economics will analyze the capital costs associated with building the lagoon. The firms will also estimate the cost of operating and maintaining the lagoon and related facilities expenses such as staffing, utilities, water, lagoon treatment, insurance, etc. The firms will also identify the various revenues that would be required to recover the cost of operations and maintenance of the lagoon and facilities. Hunden Partners will receive $18,800 for its services.
The Swaback Partners firm previously was contracted by the town to assist in developing a downtown plan for Fountain Hills. The plan was adopted by the Town Council in 2009. Swaback spent numerous hours in public involvement in the community and as part of the downtown plan, recognized the significance of Fountain Park and the downtown. Since Swaback was very familiar with Fountain Park, it made sense to contract with Swaback. The firm's understanding of our downtown and park also meant we could expect a lower cost and quicker turnaround on a feasibility study.
Initially, the town made contact with Applied Economics to assist with identifying the costs and other fiscal impacts of the project. Applied Economics has an excellent reputation in the Valley for assisting cities in analyzing economic impacts of proposed public policies. Applied Economics ended up becoming a subconsultant to Hunden Partners on the lagoon project due to the fact that Hunden had more expertise if there were follow up work on the lagoon analyses relating to tourism impacts.
Crystal Lagoons is providing information to the consulting firms so the firms can properly cost out the excavation costs, capital costs, and water treatment costs for the proposed lagoon project.
Under the town code and procurement code, the town has the ability to identify and direct select certain types of consultants to provide professional services to the town. In the case of the feasibility studies in question, I informally requested the firms to submit proposals for a proposed lagoon project. Since I didn't want to move forward on contracting with these firms until I had Council consensus on the proposed project, the proposed feasibility studies were brought up for discussion at the Council work session on this subject.
As was mentioned previously, Crystal Lagoons is providing information to the consulting firms so the firms can properly cost out the excavation costs, capital costs, and water treatment costs for the proposed lagoon project. While the information from Crystal Lagoons will be very helpful in the analyses required for the feasibility studies, there are other cost factors that will be examined such as the capital and operating costs for the beach and facilities, water, utilities, staffing, insurance, and other maintenance costs.
Even if this project were to proceed, it is not necessarily a foregone conclusion that Crystal Lagoons will receive the contract. Due to the anticipated size, scope, and dollar amount for the proposed project, it is conceivable that the project will be competitively bid. The Town Council could also determine that bidding out the project may not be in the best interests of the town because there may not be other companies with the expertise or background in building and maintaining such man-made beach and swimming lagoon facilities.
If the Lagoon is approved, our Fountain is expected to remain intact. A barrier between the lagoon and the base of the fountain is intended to keep separation between the lake water and the lagoon. This barrier should maintain a safe distance between the Fountain and the edge of the Lagoon.

It is a bacteria that is commonly found on the skin and in the nose, usually not causing any symptoms. However, sometimes it causes infections in skin and other sites in the body. "MRSA" is the abbreviation for "methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus", a bacteria that has more resistance to common antibiotics that regular staph aureus. Decades ago, antibiotic resistant staph aureus began to emerge in hospitals and other health care settings. In the past 15 years, it has become common in the community in otherwise healthy people. It now causes 59% of skin infections seen in U.S. emergency rooms. MRSA causes the same types of infections that regular staph does but it cannot be treated by penicillin related or erythromycin related antibiotics. MRSA is not easier to spread than other staph infections.
Many people carry staph bacteria on their skin without any symptoms. But if infection occurs, infections of the skin are most common. It is commonly mistaken for a "spider bite" since it often looks like a pimple with surrounding redness and swelling. Fever and severe pain can be a sign of a deeper infection. Infections can occur anywhere but are often located at sites of previous cuts/scrapes, e.g. shaving areas, and the back of the neck, groin, buttocks, armpits, and the inner thigh.
A person can carry MRSA without symptoms for a long time before getting ill. This can make it extremely difficult to determine where a person may have acquired the bacteria. The place of onset of the symptoms of infection may have nothing to do with the place where the bacteria was acquired.
MRSA more often occurs in hospitalized patients and other health care facilities. It can also occur in people who have received multiple antibiotics, those who have close contact with people with MRSA infections, athletics teams who share equipment, tattoo recipients, and groups who are in crowded conditions such as daycare centers, jails/prisons, and the military. But also importantly, many people with MRSA infections have no risk factors.
The distinction between colonization by a bacteria versus infection by a bacteria is important.
Colonization = the presence of the bacteria but no signs of illness or infection. Staph bacteria are commonly found in the nostrils, belly button, underarms, groin, throat, rectum, and genitourinary tract.
Infection = clinical signs of illness or inflammation (pain, redness, warmth, swelling, pus, fever). These are due to the bacteria penetrating the outer skin layers such as through a cut, abrasion, or a razor nick. Treatment is indicated and usually includes an antibiotic.
Not treatment is needed for colonization. The precautions that help prevent skin bacteria from penetrating the protective skin layers are good hand hygiene and proper wound care.
An oral or topical antibiotic is prescribed by a health care provider. If an abscess is present, it may need to be drained. It is important to keep open or draining wounds covered with a bandage. Deeper infections or infections of parts of the body other than the skin are treated in a hospital setting.
Sometimes an individual will have several infections with MRSA over a period of time and decolonization of these patients (and possibly household members) may be attempted with nasal antibiotics and chlorhexidine (Hibiclens) baths. However, these efforts have not been shown to be consistently effective in preventing future MRSA infections.
Current guidelines do not recommend that contacts of a person with CA-MRSA infection be treated with antibiotics. Careful preventive measures, including washing hands, keeping wounds covered, washing bed sheets and towels, avoiding shared personal items, and cleaning common surfaces is recommended in these situations. In selected cases where interpersonal transmission is suspected, household contacts might be treated with an intranasal antibiotic and Hibiclens baths for decolonization.
Experts do not recommend widespread testing for MRSA because it is commonly found on health individuals but there is a small risk of becoming infected. And recolonization commonly occurs after treating individuals. Widespread treatment of a bacteria in a population also causes increased antibiotic resistance. Therefore, testing and treatment is generally done only when an individual has an infection.

Both teams come into this game at Danville undefeated, ADHD australia, uk, us, usa, so the winner earns sole possession of first place in the SEISC South Division. The Bears (7-0) are ranked No. 1 in Class 1A, ADHD from canada, and deservedly so. The Nikes (6-0), who received votes this week in Class 2A, have been strong defensively, but their challenge will be to keep a game close against a team that hasn't scored fewer than 70 points all season, BUY ADHD OVER THE COUNTER.

BC Moore has the Bears as a 27-point favorite. ADHD pics, I'd say the Nikes will do well if they keep it within 20. BUY ADHD OVER THE COUNTER, If Danville wins, it will be coach Ken Laffoon's 400th career victory.
2nd Quarter: Notre Dame, Mediapolis and Central Lee, ADHD steet value, the three ranked girls basketball teams in the area, ADHD from canadian pharmacy, probably shouldn't expect much movement above them in the rankings. In Class 1A, the Nikes are third; No, what is ADHD. 1 Bedford was the state runner-up last year, About ADHD, and No. 2 Ar-We-Va a state qualifier; it will take a monumental upset by Notre Dame or a stunning loss by either of those two to see shuffling. I don't know if Notre Dame has a game left on the schedule worthy of that, BUY ADHD OVER THE COUNTER. In Class 3A, order ADHD no prescription, No. ADHD pharmacy, 1 Davenport Assumption is clearly the best team, having won the 2A title last year. No, ADHD pictures. 2 MOC-Floyd Valley was a 3A qualifier last year, ADHD class, while No. BUY ADHD OVER THE COUNTER, 3 Estherville-Lincoln Central was a 2A qualifier. Mediapolis is fifth and Central Lee seventh. The Bullettes have a big game against No. 10 Mid-Prairie coming out of the break, and a win there might move the needle a bit.
3rd Quarter: Got a chance to see Faith Pope in person Friday against Fort Madison, and he changes the complexion of the Mount Pleasant boys basketball team. He had to sit three games for transfer rules, but there has been no rust with games of 14, 23 and 27 points since he's joined the lineup, BUY ADHD OVER THE COUNTER. At 6-foot-6, he brings the ability to score inside, and step out to hit a 3-pointer. Without him, the Panthers were average; with him, they will be a force down the stretch. That said, I was dually impressed with the Bloodhounds. Coach Jon Schmitz has that team on the right track. BUY ADHD OVER THE COUNTER, Miles Wentzien is one of the top guards in this area, and there is a good supporting cast. They play physical and play solid defense. The Bloodhounds could be a real challenge for anyone in the postseason.
4th Quarter: It's been feast for famine for the West Central High School girls basketball team, at least when it comes to tournament games. The Heat opened the season by winning the Cranberry Classic at Oneida, going 3-0 in the process and winning every game by at least 12 points. Then came the rugged Knoxville/Abingdon tournament and four straight losses ensued before the Heat defeated United Saturday; the four losses came by an average of 23 points, BUY ADHD OVER THE COUNTER. After a 4-1 start, the Heat are 5-6, but seem prepared for a strong showing in Lincoln Trail Conference play.

(information taken from an Ithaca College press release) -- The most successful season in Brandeis University women's soccer history came to a close today with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of 10th-ranked Misericordia University in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Division III tournament. The Judges had their deepest advancement in the NCAA tournament and tied a school record for wins in a season as they finished at 16-5-2. Misericordia advances to the Final Four with a 20-2-2 mark.
The Cougars struck early, which had been a hallmark of Brandeis all season. The game-winning goal came in the fourth minute, when sophomore Megan Lannigan charged across the end line towards the left post. She tallied her 10th of the season on an Erin McGreal cross from right post at 3:32.
Brandeis twice looked to even play late in the first frame. Sophomore Sapir Edalati (Great Neck, N.Y./Great Neck South) shot high and right of goal in the 28th minute of play, but it was sophomore Dara Spital's (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) shot at 39:58 that chanced a 1-1 tie. Spital dodged a trio of Cougar defenders and laced a shot across goal from inside the 18 that hit the right post before being cleared from the defensive third.
Misericordia maintained a 1-0 advantage at intermission, with a 9-6 edge in shots, though four of Brandeis's attempts were on net, compared to just one for the Cougars.
The Cougars controlled play in the second half, when they outshot the Judges by an 8-1 margin.
As she has all season, Brandeis sophomore Michelle Savuto (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) replaced senior Francine Kofinas (Dix Hills, N.Y./Half Hollow Hills West) in goal for the second 45 minutes. Savuto made her first of four saves at 46:10, swatting a shot by Sam Helmstetter high of the crossbar to keep the Judges within one.
Senior Laura Roney had back-to-back chances for the Cougars, firing a shot high left of goal at 52:49 and forcing Savuto to make a diving save at 54:13.
In the 62nd minute, Misericordia sophomore Erin Roberts drew a foul at just outside the top center of the box. Roney took the direct kick, firing the Cougars' second goal inside the right post for a 2-0 cushion. It was Roney's 14th score of the season.
Brandeis gathered a handful of free kicks in the second half, but could only convert one into a shot. Spital sent a dart along the right end line at 86:45 but Cougar keeper Maureen Ciccosanti made her fifth save of the game to preserve the Misericordia shutout. It was the Cougars' 15th clean sheet of the season. They will carry a 470-plus minute shutout streak into the Final Four.
Brandeis returns all but two players next season. For Kofinas and senior midfielder Zoe Siegel (Erie, Pa./McDowell), they end their career with 47 wins and two NCAA tournament appearances in 2010 and 2012.

Dear Mini Truckin',
As a long time reader and subscriber I want to cover a HUGE issue. Don't get me wrong, I love the magazine, and always love the content. What I DON'T love is that damn address sticker you glue to it. It constantly destroys my cover EVERY month. It peels, gets stuck to other issues, and destroys them as well. If you are going to put a sticker on them, why not make one that actually sticks? Or even better yet, why not put one on that peels off without ripping my cover or getting sticky and destroying others? Would you put a sticker in the middle of Last Look's mural? A sticker in the middle of the Time Machine's beautiful paint? Why do you put it on the beautiful magazine that I look forward to every month? I have called and written emails to what I thought were correct avenues, and now am writing to "The Man" in hopes that for the next three years of receiving this publication something will be done. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Do something about this madness!

Ugh, dude, I know what you mean. I have a few mag subscriptions that get delivered to my house and only one of them uses labels that come off without a trace. Ripping a new issue is always sucky for sure. I Googled "peeling labels off magazines" in hopes to solve our problem, and the Internet trolls suggested using a hairdryer, an iron (with a cloth on top of the mag), or a crafting heating gun to loosen the adhesive. Someone also suggested using the steam of a teakettle but that sounds like that could warp the crap out of the paper.
Now, I am listing to these solutions because getting the suits of corporate America to listen to you (and me) about our gripe is a long shot. They're all heartless robots with Siri voices (just kidding, bosses. I love you and I love my job). I know you were looking to make a difference and start a revolution, man, but I think we're licked on this one. However, I am not one to throw in the towel so quickly—I will mention it to them again while they're writing me up for insubordination.

Vision Statement
Word Made Flesh is called and committed to serve Jesus among the most vulnerable of the world's poor. This calling is realized as a prophetic ministry for, and an incarnational, holistic mission among the poor. We focus our energy to make Jesus known among the poor while reconciling the church with the poor.
Lifestyle Celebrations
Word Made Flesh is united in an intentional spirituality that is expressed through nine core values.
- Intimacy- We celebrate intimacy with Jesus to be our highest calling and our created purpose.
- Obedience- We celebrate obedience as our loving response to the grace of Jesus.
- Humility- We celebrate humility before God and humanity.
- Community- We celebrate community as a means for discipleship and service.
- Service- We celebrate service as an expression of our fellowship.
- Simplicity- We celebrate simplicity as a privilege in identification with Jesus and the poor.
- Submission- We celebrate submission to Jesus, each other and the poor.
- Brokenness- We celebrate brokenness as our responsibility in ministry among the broken.
- Suffering- We celebrate suffering as a willing sacrifice in serving Jesus.
Word Made Flesh is united in philosophical commitments, which are expressed in seven missional starting points.
- Jesus and the Kingdom of God Hebrews 12:28, 13:8. We are an ecumenical community of Christians united in obedience to Jesus for service among the poor. Our service flows from intimacy with Jesus and is guided by the values of the Kingdom of God.
- The Most Vulnerable of the World's Poor Matthew 25:40, James 2:5. We respond to the needs of the world by building community among those who lack sustainable access to resources and availability to opportunity.
- Community Genesis 1:27, Mark 6:7, John 13:35, I Corinthians 12, Acts 4:32, Philippians 2:2, 2 Corinthians 5:17. Community, a tangible sign of the Kingdom of God, is our starting point for theological, ecclesiological and missiological activity. Solidarity with the most vulnerable of the world's poor fulfills our community.
- Incarnational, Holistic Mission John 1:14, 20:21, II Corinthians 5:18-20, 8:9, Luke 4:18-19, Matthew 25:35-46, James 2:15-16, I John 3:16-18. We do not minister to the poor; we are in mission among the poor, identifying with them rather than integrating the poor into our reality. Identification is central in the ministry of reconciliation. Our purpose is for the redemption of the whole person toward the redemption of society. We participate in holistic transformation, desiring to facilitate regeneration and restoration.
- Simplicity Matthew 10:7-10, I John 3:16-18. We posture ourselves in simplicity with open hands, dependent on God.
- Partnership in Mission Revelation 5:9-10, Galatians 3:28. In our praxis of mutual submission, mission is dependent on partnership with local Christians and churches. Mission unifies us.
- The Urban Context Isaiah 60, Matthew 9:35-36, 21:10, Luke 13:34-35, Revelation 20-22. Our eschatological hope for the renewed city calls us to give ourselves to the redemption of urban settings.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBSDC/AP) — Following two days of delays, the defense rested in the University of Virginia Lacrosse murder trial without defendant George Huguely V taking the stand on his own behalf.
A neurosurgeon testified Saturday that he saw little brain injury in Yeardley Love whom prosecutors said Huguely fatally bashed her head against a wall.
Dr. Ronald H. Uscinski testified for the defense in the trial. Huguely is charged with first-degree murder in the May 3, 2010, death of YeardleyLove, who was a member of the U.Va. women's lacrosse team and is ex-girlfriend.
Huguely waived his right to testify before the trial broke for lunch. Jurors had already heard his account of Love's death in a police interrogation video played during the trial.
By Saturday afternoon, defense attorneys had rested their case after presenting fewer than 10 witnesses over several days. The prosecution had presented about 50.
Circuit Judge George Hogshire read jurors instructions, which said they could also find Huguely guilty of involuntary manslaughter or voluntary manslaughter instead of murder. Both charges would carry lighter sentences than a murder conviction.
Closing arguments were also scheduled for Saturday afternoon, with jurors possibly getting the case later in the day.
Uscinki's testimony was limited by Circuit Judge George Hogshire because of an email exchange involving Uscinski during the trial that had the potential to influence his testimony. The prosecution said they also would seek to strike previous defense medical testimony.
The medical testimony is critical because there is no disagreement that the 24-year-old Huguely of Chevy Chase, Md., was in Love's apartment the night she died, or that their encounter became physical. At issue is how she died from what the medical examiner has ruled was blunt-force trauma.
The prosecution argues that Huguely banged Love's head against her bedroom wall, bruising her brain and causing bleeding near the brain stem, while the defense contends Love suffocated with her face buried in her own blood-dampened pillow.
Love, who was 22 and from suburban Baltimore, was found with a battered right eye and injuries around and in her mouth and on her neck.
Asked by one of Huguely's defense attorneys, Rhonda Quagliana, what he concluded after he viewed Love's brain, Uscinski replied: "That there may have been head trauma … but there's not of lot of significant brain trauma."
Asked by Quagliana if he saw blunt-force injuries, Uscinski said, "No."
Huguely's defense has said it can complete its presentation Saturday. But the jury was kept out of the courtroom after prosecutor Dave Chapman presented a series of emails between Uscinski and a member of Huguely's defense team that involved the testimony of another medical expert scheduled to testify for the defense.
Chapman sought to keep Uscinski from testifying and to have jurors disregard the testimony of the defense witness who said Love smothered in her pillow.
While Hogshire said Uscinski was likely "influenced by these emails," he allowed him to testify but limited the extent of his testimony.
The defense hopes to finish its presentation Saturday.
Huguely and Love shared a tempestuous relationship, according to witnesses, marked by arguments, jealousy and infidelities.
Prosecutors have said Huguely went to Love's apartment after a day of golf and heavy drinking, kicked in her bedroom door and repeatedly banged her head against a wall, leaving her to die.
Huguely, who has pleaded not guilty, told police that he had gone to her apartment to talk the night of her death. But he said the encounter quickly turned physical after she "freaked out" and began hitting her own head against the wall of her bedroom.
Hogshire has said the trial is unlikely to be conducted Sunday or Monday, which is Presidents' Day, and grand jurors meet in the courthouse on Tuesday. Jurors, who are not sequestered, presumably could return on Wednesday.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Former Gaucho Evan Patak notched 10 kills and a match-high five aces in the championship match of last week's FIVB World Championship Qualifying tournament, as the United States defeated the Dominican Republic in straight sets (25-16, 25-19, 25-15) at the Bren Center on the campus of UC Irvine.
Patak earned both the Most Valuable Player and Best Server awards at the tournament, helping Team USA clinch an automatic berth for the 2010 World Championships in Italy with a 3-0 record. At 2-1, the Dominican Republic will be forced to play another qualifying tournament later this month in Guadalajara, Mexico.
An alternate to Team USA during their gold-medal winning performance in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Pleasanton-native served as the centerpiece of this year's squad, evidenced by his team-high 16 points in the match versus the Dominican Republic.
Current UCSB head coach Rick McLaughlin, who served as an assistant for Team USA throughout qualifications, said, "Evan has been given a golden opportunity and he had made the most of it. The way he is hitting the ball right now, he will be a force for this country when it comes time for the next Olympics."
Patak graduated from UCSB in 2007 with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Sports Management. During his senior season, the three-time All American would lead the nation in kills (5.78/game), service aces (.948/game), and points (7.40/game) before taking his game overseas to Aon hotVolleys of Vienna in Fall 2008. In January, he signed with PAOK, a club based in Thessaloniki, Greece.
McLaughlin added another tournament championship to an already impressive coaching resume; earlier this summer, he guided the U.S. Team to a perfect record of 4-0 at the NORCECA Pan American Cup in Chiapas, Mexico.
"Whenever you are able to learn from the best coaches and teach the best players in the world, you gain a wealth of experience," Coach McLaughlin said, "[Head] Coach Knipe gave me the opportunity to stay involved and help out any way I can, but my number one goal remains to win a championship here at UC Santa Barbara."
The UCSB volleyball team opens the 2010 season by hosting the UCSB Elephant Bar Invitational, January 8th and 9th at Robertson Gymnasium.
Men's volleyball fans, new this year, donations to The Gaucho Fund - regardless of the sport it supports - will be part of the "One Donation is Gold" system. This allows donors to purchase priority/premium seating and parking at UCSB games across several sports in addition to other benefits.
If you donate to men's volleyball, you will have the opportunity to purchase tickets in the Gold Zone (priority/premium seats) at Harder Stadium for men's soccer, which includes priority parking and cushioned chair-backed seating. No longer will separate donations need to be made to secure priority seating to different UCSB sports. One donation, one fund: The Gaucho Fund.
Season tickets for the 2009 men's soccer season are on sale for only five bucks a game. Fans who purchase 2009 season tickets will be guaranteed the opportunity to buy tickets for the 2010 Men's NCAA College Cup hosted by UCSB at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium Dec. 10-12, 2010.

I do not know if this good time for regional tours and visits , already I do not understand how the newly elected president Morsi will leave the country for couple of hours when he has not appointed a vice president nor a new cabinet !!! Do I need to mention the circus going concerning the fate of the elected parliament.
Morsi should postpone this visit.
Unlike what the West thinks , the Saudi and Emirati regimes are not fond of the Muslim brotherhood. Of course despite I understand why the UAE hates MB , I do not get this hate from the Saudi regime reflected in its media towards the MB !! Considering the fact that both are actual US allies and during the difficult 1960s Saudi Arabia was like an escape heaven for the MB from Nasser's wrath !!
Already Al Sharq Al Awsat , one of the biggest Saudi newspapers published in London made the MB mad in Cairo when it published this photo of Sheikh Hassan Al Banna kissing the hand of KSA's founder Abd Al Aziz Al Soud in a big report about the future of Saudi-MB relations.
Also Saudi MBC's TV channels are re-airing now The brotherhood TV series that was allegedly sponsored by State security to attack the brotherhood. "The producers chose a handsome Jordanian actor to present Hassan Al Banna on screen, the result millions of teenage girls in Egypt felt sympathy with MB !!"

In his debate with Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter famously invoked daughter Amy's advice regarding the most important issue in the 1980 election (video below). It was one of the golden moments that turned Carter into a laughingstock.
In yesterday's press conference, President Obama invoked the good examples set by daughters Malia and Sasha in a lame attempt to shame Congress for his own nonfeasance. How lame was it? Jim Treacher reports that he got his oldest daughter's age wrong. At least he got her name right.

Thompson '13 Wins Baldwin Oratoricalby Jacob Burnett '15 • April 11, 2013 Share:
Wabash College possesses many unique traditions that define it apart from other liberal arts colleges. One such tradition allows the students to experience the unique opportunity to compete in one of the longest running oratorical contests in the country, the Baldwin Oratorical Contest. This year the Rhetoric Department presented the 139th Baldwin Oratorical Contest responding to the theme "Practicing Civic Engagement."
Corey Hamilton '14, Scott Purucker '16, Justin Taylor '15, and Zachary K. Thompson '13 were the finalists.
President of the College Patrick White, his wife Christine White, Donovan Bisbee '12, and Communications Director for Mayor Ballard Marc Lotter judged this year's contest.
The contest winner, Zach Thompson '13, gained valuable experience. "More than anything, I've gained the confidence that comes with writing a speech and giving it." Thompson said. "Public speaking can be nerve racking. But here I am, in my first Baldwin Contest, competing. I would like to stress that anyone in our Wabash community can take part in this contest, can try and can win it. Oratory in the United States was once a national obsession. I hope that it can be again."
Thompson '13 delivered his speech, "Two Easy Improvements for a Walkable Downtown." Zach first described what he meant "walkable" implied. Basically, individuals should want to walk and not drive. A walkable downtown provides health benefits and an opportunity to have unplanned interactions with the community. He gave vivid account of walking in downtown Crawfordsville to describe that better crosswalks and tress would encourage the community to walk to and through downtown Crawfordsville. Zach stated that these fixes could engage Wabash students to help plant and take care of the tress. These fixes could happen if people contacted the Deputy District Commissioner to see these renovations come true.
Justin Taylor '15 presented his oration "Oh brother, Where Art Thou?" for a second-place finish. He passionately discussed the history and evolution of homosexuality. From caveman drawings to the 21st century, homosexuality has existed but evolved from a non-marginalized identity to discrimination. Taylor described that young adults discovering their sexual identity tend to suffer emotional and cognitive dissonance, and that the youth is more than eight times more likely to commit suicide, and two times more likely to suffer from depression. He then gave a personal anecdote and related that to his experience at Wabash. He advocated that small changes like not inappropriately using "that's gay" as a put-down can have drastic and meaningful impacts. Taylor argues that at the College needs to encourage these behaviors because we are in fact, "a band of brothers."
Scott Purucker '16 titled his speech "Lacrosse at Wabash." He shed light on the need and benefits of incorporating the lacrosse club sport into a full varsity sport. Lacrosse has become the fastest growing sport in the nation at the high school and collegiate level. Scott said lacrosse has an important admissions aspect, eliminates the strain on the Student Senate and its budget, and needs to adopt lacrosse to keep up with a growing national trend. Currently, Wabash and only one other school in the NCAC don't have lacrosse teams.
Corey Hamilton ' 14 delivered his speech "Wabash Lives Humanely: Improving Homelessness in Montgomery County." Corey tackled a national issue and related it closer to the Wabash community. He discussed the fact that many homeless people in Crawfordsville may not appear homeless but live with friends and travel from house to house. Corey advocated that the best way for the Wabash community to help with this problem lied in volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, which provides accessible housing for homeless people. As part of living humanely, he encouraged Wabash students to volunteer with the Crawfordsville or Montgomery County Habitat for Humanity. The next volunteering slot is April 12th from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. or 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the build sites next to the Goodrich Ballpark.
Student body President Jeremy Wentzel '14 said. the audience heard four speeches spanning a variety of issues and local solutions. "The four gentlemen who participated in the Baldwin Oratorical reminded the audience that important issues in the Wabash and Crawfordsville communities can most likely be addressed with ease," Jeremy Wentzel '14 said. "The results, however, have the potential to yield long term gains for our communities, all in the best spirits of humane living."
The Baldwin Oratorical Contest reinforces the benefit and need of quality oration to effectively and efficiently engage the community. "The Baldwin Oratorical Contest reminds us of the power of the spoken word to move audiences to do great things," Associate Professor of Rhetoric Dr. Jennifer Abbott said.

We are a small UK based company involved in franchising and licensing.
We are also working on new business ideas, one of which is to look at the possibility of launching a UK network of dentists operating under a common brand
The general public
We are looking to launch a dental practice which will have for its corporate name a vanity number.
Vanity numbers in the USA are common place, but are far less well known or used in the UK. In the states for example you can contact a dentist by dialling 1800 DENTIST on the keypad of your phone. If you wanted a florist you would dial 1800 FLOWERS and so on.
In the UK we will be launching our business under the vanity telephone number 0800 DENTIST. This will also be the corporate name of the business.
We want assistance id designing the logo for this new company. The Logo might also be used in or with a device (see for example You Tube which is shown / presented in a lozenge). However presented, with or without a device, the design needs to portray a user friendly and fair price professional image. We will also use a strap line with the Logo and are open to any strap line ideas you may have where the name and the telephone number are one and the same. We would like to see the Logo presented with and without this strap line.
We see dental colours being pale blue and white, pale green and white or a combination of both. We would like to see the logo presented using these colours and combinations of these colours. Again however we are open to your ideas, but certainly do not see the logo being presented in primary colours.

WALWORTH � Roland �Chip� Stevens entertained the Wester Wayne Art Group and guests with a watercolor demonstration for the group�s October meeting. Stevens is a noted watercolor artist in the Rochester area, working mostly on plein-air and marine works.
Stevens does not work from photographs, but does work from the same tray of paints he�s been refreshing for 40 years. He uses mostly Winsor-Newton paints (professional grade, though student grade works well, too). Stevens keeps jots down his thoughts in a sketch book using pencil, pen, and magic markers. In addition to his palette and sketch book materials, he used a common household staple, bathroom tissue, for blotting and rolling over clouds to make them fluffier; just don�t use the brand with patterns!
Stevens� continuous growth and development as a plein-air painter in his pursuit of watercolor has enabled him to be accepted in numerous juried, national, state, and regional exhibitions. He is a �Signature Member� of the National Watercolor Society, Philadelphia Watercolor Society, Pittsburgh Watercolor Society, Niagara Frontier Transparent Watercolor Society, Central New York Watercolor Society, Rochester Art Club, and Whiskey Painters of America. He is also a member of Transparent Watercolor Society of America, American Watercolor Society, and American Society of Marine Artists.
�As an architect, having been trained to explore the multiple possibilities of every design, I have found it equally exciting and rewarding to apply that training towards watercolor painting. I search for natural subject matter that presents an interesting challenge, frequently changing the focal point of interest by how I apply color. I usually sketch directly and apply some under glazes to set up a theme and depending on how quickly it dries, will proceed, allowing numerous options to remain open for shifting the focal point. The challenge and excitement is in not recording all the fact but in trying to capture a likeness while experiencing unique and unpredictable outcome.�
Another important aspect of his work is the framing. Stevens using white mats, and all materials are acid free. He goes to Wilson Family Framing to frame his work for exhibits, shows, and sales.
View Stevens� art at www.rolandestevens.com, and also connect with him on Facebook.
WWAG typically meets from 7 to 9 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month at the Walworth Town Hall (off Route 441) in Walworth. Members and guests are welcome. In lieu of a meeting in November, the group will hold its Holiday Art Sale at the First Presbyterian Church of Ontario Center (1638 Ridge Road, Ontario Center). The sale runs Wednesday, Nov. 20 through Saturday, Nov. 23, and is open from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. each day. Admission and parking are free.

While the three have different experiences and are involved in different parts of agriculture, they echoed many of the same comments and words of encouragement. Kummer who chairs the United Soybean Board said the amount of misinformation out there is a real problem – more from the consumer being led by the media. Martin who farms 7,000 acres in Alabama added that the majority of public policy makers are illiterate when it comes to agriculture. "We need well-informed, practical decision-makers," she said while acknowledging the U.S. has a tremendous advantage in comparison to other countries. "There's no other country I'd rather farm in." While Kummer and Martin focused on public policy and perception, Brakke focused on food safety and transparency. "Consumers need to understand that farmers are doing their best to produce as much food as possible in the safest way possible on fewer acres," she said. "We (Black Gold Farms) spend so much time and money on audits. You have to be diligent, comply with the rules and regulations and conduct audits. Keep your doors open and bring people into your operations so they see and get a feel for what you are about." When asked how they've exceled, both Kummer and Martin said they showed up to meetings regularly, asked questions and participated.

A sweet little quilt to use as a baby quilt, car quilt, table topper or adorn on a wall.
All seams ¼"
1 pkg. Chez Moi Swanky Turnovers (80 – 6″ triangles)
1¼ yd. Chez Moi Swanky – Highland Park PEACOCK (16034-13)
¼ yd. Moda Bella Solids – LEMON (9900-131)
1 yd. Flag Day Farm solid – IVORY (14620-11)
2¾ yds. backing fabric
51″ x 51″ batting
From LEMON, cut:
4) 1½" strips for inner boarder
From IVORY, cut:
25) 6″ squares for waffle blocks
–> sub-cut each square diagonally to yield 50 triangles
From PEACOCK, cut:
5) 4½" strips for outer border
5) 2¼" strips for binding
Each Turnover has a matching twin, and are conveniently paired together in the Turnover pack.
Gather 25 twins (50 total) of the small/medium scale prints for waffle blocks.
Gather 14 twins (28 total) of the large scale prints for setting triangles and corners.
WAFFLE (block) ASSEMBLY
1) Making one block at a time, gather one twin SWANKY triangle set and one IVORY triangle set.
2) Cut out a 3″ square from each triangle. You will yield two small triangles and one square.
3) Trim each 3″ square of the SWANKY and the IVORY to 2¾".
4) To the IVORY squares, join the small triangle of SWANKY to each side. To the SWANKY square, join a triangle to IVORY to each side. Press to the Swanky for all four units.
5) Join one of each unit to make a secondary unit, and press in opposite directions.
6) Join secondary units to complete the block. Press. Trim off dog-ears. Make 24 more blocks. Mmmm, pass the strawberries and whipped cream… it smells like waffles!
7) From the 28 large scale SWANKY Turnover triangles, join 24 of them (chop suey style… do not match them with their twin) – to make 12 setting triangles. Note: The remaining 4 triangles of the 28 – you will use for your setting corners.
8) From setting triangle unit's tip, measure 5″ on center and trim off end. Use your seam as your guide.
9) Lay out your blocks. Be sure to place blocks in alternating directions.
10) Place your setting triangle units and corner triangles.
11) Make quilt center by joining blocks, setting triangles and corners into rows. Press each row in alternating direction. Join rows to complete quilt center. Press.
12) Trim quilt center's sides ¼" past the block's tip.
13) Because you are working with bias edges, everyone's touch is a little different – and finished center quilt my vary a tad in size. Your finished quilt center will determine what size to cut your borders. From the center of your quilt center, measure horizontally. Cut your top and bottom LEMON inner border strips to this measurement. Pin to top and bottom. Join. Press.
14) On the quilt's center, measure vertically from top to bottom. This will be your measurement for your side's inner and outer borders. Join LEMON inner border to side PEACOCK outer border. Make two. Pin in place to quilt center. Join. Press.
15) From the center of your quilt center, measure horizontally. Take 3 PEACOCK outer border strips and join end to end to make one long strip. Sub-cut long PEACOCK strip into two border strips to this measurement. Pin to top and bottom. Join. Press. Done!
Layer with batting and backing, baste and quilt as desired. Bind. Snuggle.
The finished Belgian Waffle quilt measures approximately 45″ x 45″.
Strawberries and whipped cream optional – but highly recommended!

European Commission
Brussels, 2 July 2014
Making the most of the Data-Driven Economy
What is big data?
"Big data" is large amounts of data produced very quickly by many different sources. It can be created by people or generated by machines, such as sensors gathering climate information, satellite imagery, digital pictures and videos, purchase transaction records, GPS signals, etc. It covers many sectors, from healthcare to transport and energy.
Big data presents great opportunities: it can help us develop new creative products and services, for example apps on mobile phones or business intelligence products for companies.
But big data is also challenging: today's datasets are so huge and complex to process that they require new ideas, tools and infrastructures. It needs also the right legal framework, systems and technical solution in place to ensure that individual privacy is respected and that data is used for good. (MEMO/13/965)
The Commission will use the full range of policy and legal tools, and invest in research and innovation for Europe to make the most of the data-driven economy.
1. Finding and investing in big data ideas
The Commission will invite the data and research communities, (from the health, energy, environment, social sciences and official statistics sectors) to come up with big data lighthouse initiatives.
The Commission is looking for game-shifting ideas in personalised medicine, tracking food from farm to fork; integrated transport and logistics; and others areas which would improve daily life, Europe's competitiveness and our public services. The aim is to make the most of EU investment in strategically important sectors and to attract the public and private support needed.
In parallel, the Commission is getting ready to launch a multi-million euro Public Private Partnership on big data with industry towards the end of this year. Similar PPPs in supercomputing, robotics, 5G and photonics are already transforming research and innovation in those sectors (see MEMO/13/1159). Researchers, academic institutions, investors and representatives of the EU data economy, including not only the large software firms who work with data but also the increasing number of companies whose sectors are data-intensive, such as the health, retail, banking, insurance and manufacturing sectors all presented proposals for a strategic research agenda at the end of June.
2. Infrastructure for a data-driven economy
Researchers, businesses, the public and private sector need access to high-speed broadband, processing power and services to handle billions of bytes of big data, for the data revolution to take hold. The Commission will:
3. Develop the building blocks of big data
The rapid growth of a data-driven economy will also depend on easy access to raw information, skilled data-experts and support for companies taking their first steps in big data. In the coming months the Commission will:
4. Trust and security
The data driven economy will only become a reality if business and individuals have access to flexible cloud computing and have confidence that their data is secure:

In addition to a previously announced title fight, next month's Bellator 89 event also will feature all four opening-round matchups from the organization's Season 8 middleweight tournament.
The event takes place Feb. 14 at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, N.C. The main card airs on Spike TV following Spike.com.
As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported, the headliner features bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas (14-3 MMA, 4-0 BFC) vs. recent tournament winner Marcos Galvao (13-5-1 MMA, 4-2 BFC).
The eight-man middleweight tournament, meanwhile, features some familiar names.
As previously reported, one matchup includes former tourney participant and knockout artist Brian Rogers (10-4 MMA, 3-2 BFC) vs. former UFC fighter Dan Cramer (9-3 MMA, 6-1 BFC), who's on a 5-1 run.

An extraordinary statistic tweeted by Idealab CEO Bill Gross from a Davos session he is attending:
"The 6 members of the Walmart family have as much combined wealth as the entire bottom 1/3 of the United States." #WEF— Bill Gross (@Bill_Gross) January 24, 2013
I assume Bill is referring to the "Walton" family. Regardless, what it means is that Walmart is basically a gigantic vaccuum cleaner that sucks money from poorer and lower-middle-class Americans and sprays it into the bank accounts of the Waltons.
Too bad Walmart doesn't pay its poor and lower-middle-class workers enough to lift them out of near-poverty.
(The average Walmart associate wage is about $12 an hour. That's about $25,000 a year--close to the poverty line.)
(And, no, I'm not a "Marxist." But I do think that one of the ways to fix our crappy economy is to persuade companies to pay people more. Walmart's associates are dedicating their lives to the company. And Walmart a mind-bogglingly successful and excellent company, barely pays them enough to lift them out of poverty.)

Say what you want about music videos, some people find them inspirational. I'm on hold, however, waiting for my muse strike on behalf of the Trailer Park Troubadours (www.unhitched.com). On the other hand, Michael Ogawa sees no reason to be reticent. Ogawa, a Ph.D. candidate specializing in software visualization at the University of California, Davis, was so moved by music videos that he created Code_swarm (vis.cs.ucdavis.edu/~ogawa/codeswarm), a series of videos about the development of open-source software. Using dancing light, rings of color, and snappy music, Code_swarm shows the history of commits in software projects such as Python, Eclipse, PostgreSQL, and Apache.
In Ogawa's videos, the names of open-source contributors float across the screen, then fade away if they stop contributing. When a developer commits a file, colored dots representing new filescolored coded according to whether they're source code or documentsappear in random locations and fly towards the developer working on them, forming rings around the names. Developers working on the same or related files hover together; the names of programmers working on different parts of the software are farther apart.
What you see from the videos is that some open-source projects are the work of a single person over long stretches of time, some by small groups, and others by large groups in large organizations. Ogawa refers to Code_swarm as "organic information visualization," a term coined by Ben Fry (www.ddj.com/architect/207000454) to describe data as living, breathing systems. ("Information visualization" itself was coined by researchers at Xerox PARC.)
To tell the truth, I'm still grappling with information visualization, organic and otherwise. Maybe I should finish reading Ben Fry's book Visualizing Data, which is all about computational information design (and also the topic of Fry's Ph.D. dissertation). What Fry examines in his book is the nature of data, how we understand it, and how we can use sets of numbers to produce images or software that lets us view and interact with information. Granted, there are academic examinations of these topics, but much in the same way that Bruce Schneier's Applied Cryptography took a practical, applied approach to encryption, Fry's book takes a similar approach to data visualization.
But my question is this: Is this information visualization stuff really useful, or is it just more pretty pictures for the virtual scrap heap of technology? To answer that, I suspect we need to look beyond Code_swarm to projects like, say, Ben Fry's "All Streets" (benfry.com/allstreets), which is a compilation of more than 26-million road segments in the U.S. What's interesting about this project is that there are no outlines or geographic features specifically added to imagesit's pure abstract data. However, outlines and geographic features organically emerge as roads are built to avoid mountains, and sparse areas convey low populations. A good example is the lack of roads east of the San Francisco area versus the crowded freeways in the densely populated Bay Area.
For that matter, it might be fun to turn the tables on Michael Ogawa and visualize the data having to do with Code_swarm. After all, like Eclipse and Python, Code_swarm is open source with freely available source code (code.google.com/p/codeswarm).
Hmmmm, I can think of other practical uses of this technology. When it comes time for the NCAA basketball tournament, for instance, visualizing the performance of specific players and their contributions to winning games might provide me with a competitive advantage.
In the meantime, it's probably a good thing that Michael Ogawa was inspired by whatever rock videos he watched. Can you imagine what he would have come up with if the Trailer Park Troubs had been his muse?
