Temple University Press author William DiFazio (Ordinary Poverty) addresses the inequalities of current economic crisis in this blog entry
"I ain't got no boom," a young, new mother responded to my question on how she was doing as a result of the economic boom of the Clinton years. As I described in Ordinary Poverty the economic boom of the 1990's had bypassed the poor in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn and the United States. We now know that the economic bubbles of 2000 and 2007 would burst and the "new economy" would never really happen, it was a fiction, the economists and finance capitalists were wrong and now instead of endless prosperity we have a world crisis in capitalism and the whole country has "no boom."
While the President and his cabinet focus on bailing out the banks and the auto industry the massive inequality in the United States is ignored. Like the Titanic the captains of the economy ignore the iceberg of inequality and the number of poor locked in steerage is swelling as more and more middle class people join them destined to sink with the economy. This inequality is an important cause of the current crisis in capitalism; 70% of the US economy is based on shopping but Americans cannot consume as they did in the past because for almost forty years wages haven't kept up with prices even with the supposedly low inflation rates and only massive debt gave them the appearance of still being middle class. With credit closed to the middle classes more of them are becoming poor, Ordinary Poverty is now about them as well. The supposedly "lazy" poor also worked harder at lower and lower wages, including people on welfare. They are forced to cheat because the welfare grant is insufficient for the poor to live on. The welfare grant in New York State for the last eighteen years is $291 per month for a family of three; though Governor Paterson has proposed a 10% increase the first in almost two decades but it's too little too late. The current crisis in capitalism has made the lives of the poor more difficult as soup kitchens and food pantries are increasingly overwhelmed by an increasing client base. St. John's Bread & Life, where much of Ordinary Poverty takes place is feeding almost 1,300 people a day and has a rotating, monthly clientele in its food pantry of 15,000 people. Thus, as more and more people show up for meals and donations decline St. John's Bread & Life is increasingly in debt. The homeless population is exploding, moving into tent cities, like the Hoovervilles of the Great Depression and in RV's, once recreational vehicles for a summer vacation are now permanent housing for people who once were middle class. These newly poor are college educated, newly unemployed or underemployed many who of them have walked away from their foreclosed houses.
As the crises escalated the first African American President was finally elected but President Obama as he spends trillions of dollars trying to bail out the banks, AIG and the automobile industry, barely has an extra dollar to spend on the poor. He also acts as if the growing inequality of the last forty years has had no part in this crisis. After all, since Moynihan wrote The Negro Family Study, in 1965 and he explained that poverty was a racial and psychological problem, the result of the "tangle of pathology" of the deteriorating Negro family structure and that it was not the result of the failures of American capitalism to provide jobs with above poverty wages to tens of millions of American workers. Of course, now we know that Moynihan was wrong though he served as the source of conservative ideology on poverty. In reality welfare was a cheap solution to the labor force problems in the United States and legitimated the refusal of corporations to pay higher wages. Instead it replaced workers with technology and by shipping jobs to developing countries where non-union workers were paid the lowest wages and given no benefits. For American workers instead of higher wages, credit cards and debt were exchanged for an imagined higher standard of living. If the labor market inequality that has plagued the poor, the working and middle classes was taken seriously by President Obama, Citibank, AIG, Bank of America and General Motors who have been bailed out by the government would not be allowed to lay-off workers or cut wages and benefits. Instead, both the corporate and government solution is to save business by firing workers and cutting the wages of those who still have their jobs. If they really understood the place of inequality in all of this they would raise wages and benefits so that a real economic stimulus would be accomplished. Instead, Obama's economic experts Geithner and Summers increase inequality because wages cannot be raised, yet they want consumers to spend as if wages don't matter which just increases their debt and causing more and more poverty, does. These once middle class people now show up at soup kitchens and food pantries. Obama's solutions are just the newest version of Finance capital's mantra that the financial profits of the rich are based on the increased debt of ordinary people. As a result of the continuation of capitalism real politics, dressed up with Obama's "Yes we can," ideology and with no real change results in more and more middle and working class people sinking into poverty, which continues to become evermore ordinary and now they too have only "a little food and cold storage."

Linkin Park to Stream Performance from Rio+Social Event
Linkin Park are joining forces with the United Nations Foundation and several other organizations for Rio+Social. As part of their involvement, LP will stream a performance from Los Angeles on June 19.
Rio+Social is an event that will further the global initiative for sustainable energy and will simultaneously explore the roles social media and technology can have in the movement. Linkin Park is jumping aboard to help, as many of the concepts align with their current 'Power the World' program.
"We believe today's youth are global citizens and are better connected and informed than any previous generation." said Linkin Park bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell. "Rio+Social is an historic opportunity allowing youth to participate in the global discussion about critical issues like sustainability in a way that has not been possible before."
The band's role in the multi-day event will include a dynamic discussion about how gaming, social media and music can be used to promote sustainable energy awareness, and will be capped off by a performance from the band. The performance will be streamed (via the Rio+Social official website) from Los Angeles on June 19 at 5:30PM BRT (4:30PM ET) and will feature songs from LP's forthcoming album, 'Living Things.'
Linkin Park drop their new album, 'Living Things,' on June 26 and are traveling across North America with Incubus on the Honda Civic Tour.

2) Cut off all but 2-cm of the carrot tops, leaving a little green. Put the carrots in a large shallow pan, add the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Turn to coat the carrots. Stick them in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the carrots are fork-tender.
3) In the meantime, melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan around and cook until the butter begins to become brown and nutty. Squeeze in the juice from the orange halves, add the zest, brown granulated sugar, cumin and cinnamon and continue to cook for 2 minutes or until syrupy.
4) Remove the carrots from the oven, drizzle the orange brown butter over the carrots and serve.

Financial Services Affinity Group Hosts a Spring Happy Hour
POSTED ON: June 6, 2012
On Thursday, May 31, 2012 Cooper Union's Financial Services Affinity Group hosted its first-ever happy hour. Nearly 60 guests - including alumni and students - gathered in the Peter Cooper Suite to network, enjoy refreshments and engage in a candid conversation with President Jamshed Bharucha.
At the event, President Bharucha gave an overview of Cooper's financial situation, inviting TC Westcott (Vice President – Finance, Administration and Treasurer) and Derek Wittner (Vice President for Alumni Affairs and Development), to comment. He also introduced the "hybrid model," a strategy for fee-based graduate programs recently proposed by the Revenue Task Force. Alumni and students had the opportunity to ask questions, which were answered by President Bharucha, Ms. Westcott, Mr. Wittner and Mark Epstein (Chairman, Board of Trustees).
The event was also an opportunity to celebrate the Financial Services Affinity Group's many important contributions to Cooper this year. The group led a fundraising campaign that has generated nearly $255,000 for the Annual Fund so far. In addition, three members of the group - Charles Fan (EE '95), Kenny Yeung (EE '94) and James Wu (ME '93) – organized the Senior Gift Challenge, which incentivizes student participation in the Senior Gift. The Senior Gift and Senior Gift Challenge have raised $40,000 to date.
After the program, alumni and students enjoyed a networking reception in the beautiful spring weather on the outdoor terrace. Jamshed Bharucha and Mark Epstein remained to answer questions, and several alumni had the opportunity to share their ideas with the President and Chairman. The event also helped students build their networks. "I enjoyed meeting the alumni," said one student. "It was great to learn about their careers and make connections."
The happy hour was organized by Financial Services Affinity Group co-chairs Ray Falci (ME '86) and Eric Hirschhorn (ME '89). Rohan Chauhan (IE '09, MCE '10), Jeff Hersch (EE '87), Malcolm King (EE '97), Barkha Kumar (IE '10), Ming Lai (EE '95), Darrell Low (EE '89), Anastasia Rudman (BSE '04), Kenny Yeung (EE '94) and Jack Zar (EE '90, MEE '94) served on the host committee. We are especially grateful that Ray Falci, Jeff Hersch, Eric Hirschhorn, Malcolm King, Ming Lai, Darrell Low and Jack Zar made donations to underwrite the cost of the refreshments.
The Financial Services Affinity Group organizes professional development programs for Cooper students and alumni. The group also develops fundraising strategies that help to ensure the college's strength and stability. To get involved, contact Brooke Bryant at (212) 353-4171 or email@example.com.

Perfection Uniforms Garners UNIVATOR for Fifth Consecutive Year
Brentwood, Tenn.--The uniform world's leading innovative manufacturer has done it again. On February 25th, UniformMarket announced this year's winners for its highly coveted UNIVATOR award, which has been given annually for the past seven years and is considered the industry's highest honor. The UNIVATOR recognizes the industry's finest for innovative achievements in creations, ideas, and services. 2011 marks Perfection Uniforms' fifth consecutive win, this time in the New Product Innovation category.
Thanks to a new patented clip knife pocket design, Perfection's best-selling MTX-EcoSeries poly/cotton cargo pant is even more user-friendly. The pocket is incorporated into the center pleat on the outside of the cargo pocket to allow the officer easier access to a clip knife, particularly during emergency situations. Rather than fumble around for the knife in the front pocket or inside the cargo (both of which are commonly used to store clip knives), precious seconds are saved because the knife can be in hand with one quick motion. In addition to being highly functional, the pocket is discreet. It complements Perfection's other EGC (Ergonomic Garment Construction) System features such as the hidden gusset in the crotch and the adjustable waistband; all EGC features blend seamlessly into any existing uniform programs.
Steve Gilkeson, Owner/CMO of Perfection Uniforms and the visionary behind the company's cutting edge innovations, says, "We extend our gratitude to UniformMarket for honoring us with this award, and we also thank our customers for providing us with constructive feedback. The men and women who wear these uniforms are really the driving force behind our design process."
Last year, Perfection's MTX-EcoSeries won the UNIVATOR award for Best Eco-Friendly Law Enforcement Product. Made with REPREVE® recycled polyester-- a unique combination of post-consumer and post-industrial waste and third party certified for recycled content claims by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS)-- each MTX-EcoSeries garment conserves the equivalent of a quart of gasoline and diverts four to five 16 ounce plastic bottles from oceans and landfills. Now, given the success of the clip knife pocket's appearance in MTX-EcoSeries trousers, Perfection Uniforms plans to introduce the design to cargo pants in other series such as the poly/rayon StratusSeries and the poly/wool SupernaturalSeries.
Complimentary agency wear tests are available for this and other Perfection products. Please visit www.perfectionuniforms.com to learn how to secure a wear test sample for your agency.

Gelato di Riso (Rice Gelato), Homemade
"We gotta go to Vivoli!", my friend Monica insisted.
According to her trusted travel resource, Rick Steve's Travel Guide, Monica informed us that Vivoli is said to make the best gelato in Florence, or in Italy for that matter. And Rick recommends trying the rice gelato.
"Rice ice cream?" I said, "never heard of that before! But rice + ice cream together? What's not to like? That must be good".
Monica didn't have to convince the group any further. Off we went to find Vivoli.
This conversation happened many years ago one summer. A couple of my colleagues and I decided to spend our summer break in Italy while being student-trainees in Germany. We were the typical student travellers – backpacking and staying in youth hostels. We really didn't have that much money but we made the most of what we had. We met Monica while in Verona (of famed Romeo & Juliet), our first leg of the trip. Since she was traveling alone, she decided to hook up and tag along with us. So we were together in the next 4 weeks exploring Italy and became fast friends. Those were good times – no, best times.
It was in our stop in Florence that Monica mentioned this Gelateria that is a must-visit according to Rick Steve. (Rick Steve's is a good resource when it comes to budget travels!)
After a bus ride and a lot of walking, we finally managed to find Vivoli. It was a small Gelateria, but boy, was there a long line outside of the shop! Not surprising though, because if it is the best Gelateria in Florence, then it follows that the place should be popular. So we fell in line. It must have taken us around 30 minutes to finally get our turn. Not bad, really. We were on vacation so time was on our side.
Needless to say, I had my Gelato di Riso for the very first time then. And I'm telling you, that was a piece of heaven in a cup (they don't have cones)! Yum'oh! It was so creamy, not too sweet -– everything that you had hoped a gelato would be – but with rice! It's like a frozen rice pudding, but better! Indeed, our efforts paid off.
Last month, I got an ice-cream maker. It was one of those points-reward that Mr. J got from his job – so we got it for free! I love free stuff, don't you? Of course I wanted to make ice-cream immediately to try my new toy. For others, the logical thing to do might have been to make something basic for the first time. Something that's probably from the recipes that come with the manual. But no, I am not like that. (Yeah, I'm crazy). I wanted to do something ambitious. I wanted to do something simple -- but not that simple, you know what I mean? (If you're a girl, then you'd know what I mean!)
So just out of nostalgia from that trip in Italy – and because I am Asian – I decided to make rice gelato. It had been many years ago since I had this ice cream. I don't remember exactly how the taste was but all I know was that it was very good!
And so I began searching online for some recipes, which eventually led me to David Lebovitz', The Perfect Scoop. This recipe book received so many good reviews from Amazon buyers, and most of all, it had the Rice Gelato recipe that I was looking for!!!! So that sealed the deal. I bought a copy.
After so many years, I had rice gelato again! It was creamy, super delicious. The only complaint Mr. J had was that it was too "orangey" - which was my fault. If you read the recipe, it required two strips of orange zests. Well, I made a mistake of pureeing the zests with the rice mixture (wasn't really a mistake because I decided to do it). Plus, I also added a teaspoon of orange liquour. So you can really taste the orange in the ice cream. Mr. J found the orange taste overpowering - maybe so - but I liked it. With the ice cream I made the hazelnut tuile cookie, that I shaped using the wooden handle of a spoon (for that cigar shape).
This rice gelato is my entry to this weeks' Lasang Pinoy Sunday (La.Pi.S) - Melted Bliss. Eating this ice-cream took me back to Italy..... What a bliss, indeed!
Rice Gelato (Gelato di Riso)
David Lebovitz
1/2 cup Italian Arborio rice*
3 cups whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1 vanilla bean*, split in half lenghtwise
Two 1-inch-wide strips of orange zest
5 large egg yolks (save the whites for use later)
1 cup half-and-half or cream
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1. Preheat the oven to 350.
2. In a 1.75 to 2 quart baking dish, mix together the rice, milk 1/4 cup of the sugar and the salt. Add the vanilla bean and strips of orange zest.
3. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the rice from the oven and remove the foil. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, then continue to bake the rice, uncovered for another 30 minutes.
4. Remove the rice from the oven a second time, remove the vanilla bean and orange zest and briskly whisk in the egg yolks at once. Then whisk in the half and half or cream and nutmeg.
5. Puree half of the rice mixture in a blender or food processor until chopped fine then stir it back into the cooked rice.
6. Chill the mixture in the fridge (I left mine for 2 hrs), then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
*NOTE: I made mine 1/4 c arborio rice and 1/4 c sweet "gelatinous" rice, aka sticky rice. I thought that the sticky rice would make the ice cream a lot creamier, which it did. I didn't have a vanilla bean, but I used a good quality vanilla bean paste. But if you don't have the vanilla bean or paste, I believe that vanilla extract would do.

*Sigh* I was able to spend a month in Rome during college and have yet to make it back. I have a calendar with pictures from the movie Roman Holiday by my computer though, so I dream about it! My favorite gelato was nicoise (hazelnut). I don't know if I ventured too far beyond that. Doesn't everything taste better when you are in Italy?
Thanks for your comment on my blog. My kids did know they were eating rabbit. It was my three year old that actually picked it out at the butchers!

I have that book and I am definitely going to try this. When you said it was like a frozen rice pudding I was completely sold.

Bless you for coming up with this recipe! I fell in love with Riso Gelato at Vivoli's in 1987. I tried, to no avail, to have them ship it to me. I've added it to the top of everyone's itinerary when in Italy. One taste has made converts of them all. I'm a chocolate/nut/coconut freak--but this Rice Gelato is on my list of what I'd love to eat in my last meal! THANK YOU!!

If you go again to Gelateria Vivoli, there is a nice jewelry store owned by a Filipina. It is in the Piazza Santa Croce near Basilica of Santa Croce. It is very close to Gelateria Vivoli. My wife, who is a Filipina, gets a discount as should you!
- October 16, 2011 at 5:59 PM
I can't believe I've found this recipe! In the summer of 1987 I discovered Vivoli and Rice Gelato. I was hooked!! I have told everyone going to Italy since then, that they MUST eat the rice gelato there! It is the last taste of food I'd like in my mouth before I go! I tried making it when I got home, but wasn't successful. I tried arborio rice too, but it was hard as a rock when it froze. Years ago I sent Vivoli and email begging for the recipe. They turned me down--and I got a virus from their email :-((. But the memory lingers on, and now I can't wait to try this recipe. Molto Grazie!!

Emil Czar De Leon, a 25-year-old from Daily City, Calif., won $45,000 in the bonus round, when he guessed the phrase "new baby buggy," with only the letters "N" and "E." It's particularly impressive because people rarely use the word "buggy," an old-fashioned word for stroller.
Pat Sajak, who has hosted the popular word-quiz show since 1983, was understandably impressed.
Tonight's "Wheel of Fortune" features most amazing solve in my 30+ years on the show. No kidding.— Pat Sajak (@patsajak) March 19, 2014
Leon told the New York Post that he's studying to be a pediatric nurse.
What made last night's solve amazing was the generic category. Could have been "new anything." But "baby buggy?!" Wow!— Pat Sajak (@patsajak) March 20, 2014
"It helped that I'm a nursing student. I'm in a pediatrics, so I could visualize the things that babies use," he said.
"I was stumped at first. I was pretty much in a pickle. But it was obvious the first word was 'new.' The 'used letter board' helped a lot. It started with a 'B' -- and 'new baby' just worked from get-go. 'Buggy' was kind of a shot in the dark," he added.

A picturesque scene was the setting for the second day here in Paros, Greece. The sun was shinning, the people were smiling, and everyone shared in on the energetic atmosphere surrounding the beach today. Beautiful people indulged in the 25° degree Celsius sunshine as they strolled along the shoreline watching the competitions. The wind was consistently blowing between 17 and 21 knots throughout the day and white caps danced on the ocean's surface as the racers made there way to the start line.
Race director, Olaf Van Tol announced at the rider's meeting this morning at 11:00 am that his crew set a more interesting and longer course today, in hopes of testing the rider's performance, skill and endurance.
It was an unpredictable yet amusing day for French rider Bruno Sroka (Cabrinha). Sroka commenced the first race of the day on his 13m kite, making his run a successful one. However, he decided to fine tune things for the second race and switched to an 11m due to the increasing wind conditions. It proved to be a wise decision as his race time increased by 30 seconds than the previous race. The final race of the day was extremely amusing as Sroka rushes back to the shore because he absentmindedly forgot to put on his jersey. He managed to get back out on the water just in time, but started in last place. German female competitor Kristin Boese, (BEST) took advantage of Sroka's mistake and eventually took the lead in the first half of the course. Sroka must have had some sort of rocket strapped to the back of his board because he ended up finish yet again in the number one position. German rider Dirk Hanel (North) finished yet again in second place followed by fellow North rider Pierre Romain (FRA).
Romanian rider Vlad Postelnicu (North) shares a "first" with the Professional Kiteboard Riders Association (PKRA). The PKRA has never had a Romanian competitor compete at a world event, making 16-year-old Postelnicu the first ever. Postelnicu first started kiting at the age of twelve in his native country and did most of his training there as well. He is proudly supported and encouraged by his parents. In a brief conversation with Postelnicu, he mentioned that he did not have a kite sponsor. Extreme Elements asked him why he chose to fly North kites and his response was, "I have tried many different brands of kites, and North was the only brand I felt comfortable with"- Postelnicu. Postelnicu had an awesome run for his first time competing in a world-class event, finishing in the 5th position during the first race of the day.
After the first two races of the day, near 1:00 pm there was a brief lunch break followed soon after by the local freestyle competition. The wind slowly diminished during this time so the competition was postponed until tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow's mandatory meeting is scheduled for 10:00 am with the first possible start at 10:30am.
Men's Results:
1. Bruno Sroka (FRA, Cabrinha)
2. Dirk Hanel (GER, North)
3. Pierre Romain (FRA, North)
Women's Results:
1. Kristin Boese (GER, Best)
2. Felicia Constandopoulou (GRE, Best)
3. Maria Kampa (GRE, Naish)

HTML5 marks the beginning of the third age of the Web in which HTML advances at a brisk pace towards becoming a true application delivery format. HTML5 is not limited to presentation, but also provides a slew of new functionalities for Web and other types of applications.
These days, HTML5 is being discussed a lot and pushed hard as the next big thing for whatever kind of software applications you're involved with. In this article, I'll try to provide an overview of HTML5 and focus on dispelling the hype that surrounds HTML5.
The Hype
First and foremost, HTML5 is not here yet and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is not expected to release any recommendation for at least three more years. Until recently, mindful of the browsers war and how hard you worked to provide users with the same experience regardless of the browser, you would likely have dismissed the argument about an announced but yet-to-come version of the HTML language.
So why are we talking HTML5 today, a good three years ahead of its official release? We talk about HTML5 today because most browsers are already incorporating HTML5 capabilities in their latest versions.
For certain, HTML5 will play the same prominent place in Web development HTML has played so far. In addition, the new features in HTML5 make it possible to build other types of applications. For example, mobile native applications for platforms like the iPhone and Android. I don't know and anybody really knows whether HTML5 and JavaScript will form the primary development platform for the years to come, but regardless of that role HTML5 is worth a closer technical look.
The Good
HTML5 is a rich markup language that incorporates in its standard syntax many common features that developers and designers previously coded by hand in thousands of Websites. Let's delve deeper in some of these.
Semantic Markup
It's common to have a header and footer in pages as well as a navigation bar on the left of the page. More often than not, these features are achieved by using DIV elements styled to align to the left or the right. Most pages today end up with the following template:

The template includes header, navigation bar, footer and a three column layout in between. The markup alone, however, doesn't produce the expected result. For that, you need to add ad hoc CSS styles to individual DIV elements.
With HTML5, you still need to use the same bit of CSS to make the page look compelling and place segments where they belong. However, you now can describe the page in a much easier way, replacing generic DIV elements with more semantically meaningful elements such as HEADER, FOOTER, and ARTICLE. Here's how you can rewrite the preceding template with newest HTML tags.
 ...   ...
  ...
 ...

 ...

 ...
  ...
  ...
The NAV element logically groups links that would go in a navigation bar. The ARTICLE element represents the container of any content for the page and incorporates ASIDE elements and SECTION elements. All these are block elements and must be styled properly to form a presentable page. Other new elements complete the list of enhancements such as FIGURE and DETAILS. The FIGURE element is designed to include figures with caption whereas DETAILS replaces the canonical hidden DIV that developers use to hide optional content and display it via JavaScript. The DETAILS element just offers a clear semantic and an appropriate collection of attributes.

The question, Stored procedure Naming conventions?, and Joel's excellent Making Wrong Code Look Wrong article come closest to addressing my question, but I'm looking for a more general set of criteria to use in deciding how to name modules containing code (classes, objects, methods, functions, widgets, or whatever).
English (my only human language) is structured as action-object (i.e closeFile, openFile, saveFile) and since almost all computer languages are based on English, this is the most common convention.
However, in trying to keep related code close together and still be able to find things, I've found object-action (i.e. fileClose, fileOpen, fileSave) to be very attractive. Quite a number of non-English human languages follow this structure as well.
I doubt that one form is universally superior, but when should each be used in the pursuit of helping to make sure bad code looks bad?

Obama is so desperate to hang onto power that his false flags are openly broadcast and evident to all but the most obtuse. A cold-blooded killer, he has no worries about setting them up to murder Americans. You can bet when he's involved, he will go to a 'memorial service' at the site. Think Gabby Giffords (Judge John Roll's murder), Sandy Hook, Aurora, Boston. Think Andrew Breitbart, too, although Obama's memorial would have been too obvious, and the dozens of people murdered during this regime's reign.
The falseness of these events where Americans are murdered is shown by all the actors that show up to pretend they were gravely wounded–like the guy who faked losing his legs at the Boston Marathon, identified as a faker through videos of his actual loss of limbs in Afghanistan and his putting on a prosthetic at the site of the bombing in Boston. Do you actually think that a man with both his legs blown off would be conscious and holding a tourniquet on his own leg?
And like magic, the media go on a feeding frenzy pointing out the suspect who was never involved in the plot in the first place, pointing away from the obvious involvement of Obama's hit squad–Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, Naps Napolitano, Blackwater security, and dozens of other 'lessor players'. Of course, Obama is just using CIA assets who have been brainwashed in the MKUltra program, or hit with a drug like scopolomine.
An article posted here over a year ago identified the hallmarks of a false flag:
- Staging events, or having staged against him—blamed on fake Tea Party, muslims, other candidate's supporters, or others– that directly threaten or injure him or his family, solely to win a sympathy vote or 'guilt' vote. Remember his trip to see his 'dying grandmother' in the fall of 2008. Obama is willing to kill those around him or even injure himself in order to gain an edge on abject rejection in 2012.
- Staging the "OWS" movement
- Allowing/inviting/staging/provoking an attack against the American homeland
- Creating new tensions in the middle east or other parts of the world
- Causing agencies of the US (TSA, BATF, FBI, military, CIA) to become aggressive in limiting Americans' movement, possessions, access to power, water or food
- Price manipulation
- Communications disruption
- Creating a fake third party of democrats–
And we add to the list
- Broadcasting false flag events in advance, like Sandy Hook and the Boston Bombing
- Lying about false flags that went awry, i.e. Benghazi
Here is something possibly scheduled for April 28–a facebook posting on a nuclear event in Lost Angeles. Now that this is out the city will be changed or the event scheduled for another time:
Do some digging on this please! 😯
What should our focus be on now?
- Benghazi cover up
- 2012 Election theft
- Obamacare failure–and the republicans' continued funding of Obamacare despite their feigned outrage for it
- Obama's continued lack of eligibility
- Treason
- (what ever happened to) Gunrunner
- new aid to the Syrian rebels as Assad accuses the US of backing Al Queda in Syria
- Continued bankruptcy of America by the federal reserve
…and the list goes on…
The mockingbird media–even the ones who are supposedly 'exposing' all of this, have their own agenda too. Is it to stifle revolt, or to incite premature revolt of the American people? Think carefully about who you trust right now.
The false flaggers will answer to God, and it won't be pretty. Got your place in the lake of fire yet?
Spiritual wickedness in high places, indeed.
Open Thread.

Game designers are only human. And like gamers, they too fall victim to the siren call of stupidity. While new consoles bring improvements to graphics, audio, and AI, there is sadly no magical microchip or processor to fix the natural human instinct that seems to take great enjoyment in tasking gamers with completing arbitrary fetch quests or screwing up gameplay by removing physical abilities the characters should for all intents and purposes have, like being able to jump or climb over small obstacles.
Whether it's due to ambivalence or some sick, subconscious hatred of players, the following titles feature shining examples of dull decisions by developers pushing the idiot envelope.
The Stupid Moment: The impassable door
The Game: Resident Evil 5
The Resident Evil series is one of the most notorious offenders when it comes to needlessly complicated and downright stupid game design. Resident Evil 5 clearly demonstrated that Capcom had officially jumped the shark when it came to designing puzzles. That, or most of the development budget went into sculpting Chris' gigantic arms in HD.
In the docks area, Chris and Sheva approach a door that is locked tight; the key is somewhere nearby. However, something is strange about this particular door. Instead of actually barring the pair's entrance to a new area, it could easily be bypassed by going under the chains on either side and stepping around. But that would be too easy... and sensible. Another solution would be for Chris to simply knock it down. That shouldn't be too tough for a guy who later on punches a two-ton boulder down a hill inside a volcano, right? Wrong. Chris' steroid strength is apparently directly proportionate to the outrageousness of his current predicament; a locked door rates low on the "Holy Shit!" scale of videogame insanity. Since neither option merits an on-screen button prompt, you must locate the key to proceed. And just to add stupidity to injury, instead of being somewhere a key normally would be (on a table, shelf, etc.), the key is attached to a guy hanging from the ceiling.
The Stupid Moment: The insurmountable half-foot ledge
The Game: GoldenEye 007
You're James Bond, the most famous spy in the world. Numerous high-tech gadgets are at your disposal. Women swoon in your presence. Men try to kill you at every turn. You drink your martini shaken, never stirred. Your efforts have saved the world from destruction countless times. And you inexplicably cannot climb over small obstacles.
It may seem baffling in this day and age, but plenty of older first-person shooters eschewed a jump button, for whatever reason. It makes sense in a way -- the last thing you'd actually want to do when getting shot at is jump around. However, this design decision led to frustration when gamers realized James Bond couldn't raise his leaden feet the few inches needed to traverse even the smallest steps.
The Stupid Moment: The inability to grab a key item until another character mentions it in a cut-scene, conversation, etc.
The Game: Borderlands
Another puzzling mechanic game developers seem unwilling to abandon is the magical glowing item that only reveals itself once a random NPC informs you of its existence. Before that brilliant moment of illumination when you realize you need a doodad to fix the thingamajig, that item may as well be invisible. And in some cases, it is!
Borderlands is a treat fiend's dream come true: scads of weapons and loot to acquire, and a four-player online co-op mode where you can grief friends and strangers alike by grabbing all the gear for yourself. Sounds great, until you start taking on some side missions and realize most of them require you to return to previously visited areas and find items that either weren't there or couldn't be picked up your first time through.
This is called "Glowing Item Syndrome" and it's the H1N1 of videogames. Most developers seem to be infected, but Gearbox -- the brains behind Borderlands -- has a particularly nasty case. This is the same company that tasked gamers with finding hidden drawings in the latest installment of Brothers in Arms. Which brings us to the next SNAFU...
The Stupid Moment: Ridiculous collectibles
The Game: Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
Gearbox makes the list twice for including another gaming faux pas in last year's Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway -- the stupid collectible. And this is in addition to offering an achievement that was impossible to unlock for a year, a mistake which will no doubt be lampooned if I ever write a "Stupid Moments in Xbox360 Achievements" list.
It's bad enough when you make a WWII shooter in the year 2008, but it's even worse when you ask gamers to scour the European countryside looking for faces scrawled on walls. No wonder Operation Market Garden was a failure: Allied soldiers were too busy drawing silly faces on walls and then trying to find them. "Hey Jasper! Jerry's on our 6! Get on the MG and suppress!" "Sorry, Frankie -- I'm trying to find Kilroy. I know he's here somewhere!"
The Stupid Moment: Licensed game oxymoron
The Game: Batman: Arkham Asylum
Licensed games must hold true to the source material, which explains why "The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" videogame sucked so much: It was based off a terrible movie. Typically, publishers try to take the most un-game-like content out there and shoehorn it into something remotely playable for easy money. Thus, games based on SpongeBob SquarePants are spat out yearly.
Batman is a comic book character with one hang-up: using guns. He doesn't like killing people... Well, unless we're talking about the movie Batmans, who got throwing people off buildings down to a science. Oh, and a bunch of videogame Batmans actually did carry guns, and shot people with them. So maybe that no-guns rule isn't particularly well-kept.
The latest videogame to bear his name (and surprisingly do it justice) is Batman: Arkham Asylum. Here, too, we witness Batman's willy-nilly nature shine through. He hits inmates so hard they go into this weird animation where they grab their heads and seize up, which should be taken to mean they are now vegetables. Good thing Arkham Asylum has a renowned medical ward -- virtually every inmate will be getting their meals through tubes from now on. Over the course of the game, Batman throws batarangs at criminals' heads, yanks inmates off high ledges with the bat-claw, smashes faces with lead pipes, tosses enemies into electrical fences, and caves in throats with palm strikes. Sure, Batman doesn't kill people... except when he does, all the time.
The Stupid Moment: Stuff only mattering when it happens during a cut-scene
The Game: Uncharted 2
You just got shot with around 50 bullets. A grenade blew up a few feet away, throwing you to the ground. You jumped off a two-story ledge but didn't fracture both ankles. A boss punched you in the face repeatedly. An attack helicopter blew up a building with you inside, forcing you to jump through a glass window to avoid being crushed. A yeti-man picked you up by the throat and tossed you into a wall. All of that equals only a flashing red screen -- which refers to what exactly, the bloodshot eyes any of the above injuries would cause in lieu of crippling, unbearable pain? Then you're shot once in a cut-scene and it leaves you comatose for days. You're Nathan Drake, and you're the victim of a stupid moment in videogame design.
The Stupid Moment: Inventory idiocy
The Game: Fallout 3
Implementing a decent inventory system is still a problem for most developers. Do you let gamers stock up to 99 of any item via impossibly deep pockets, or go for a more realistic approach and set a limit? And how do you decide what is realistic, specifically when dealing with the inherent unrealistic nature of videogames? The answer is obvious: a convoluted, annoying system where every single in-game item has an assigned weight value and if you happen to carry just a pound over the limit your movement speed is slowed to a crawl, forcing you to pay a visit to the clunky inventory menu where you must choose to drop a rusty tin can so you can run again.
As if surviving in a post-apocalyptic wasteland full of giant ants and super mutants wasn't bad enough, Fallout 3 challenges gamers to not pick up every thing they see while simultaneously providing hundreds upon hundreds of weapons, armors, and power-ups to grab. The inventory system tries to be realistic by limiting how much you're able to carry around. What it ends up doing, however, is breaking the news that that sweet duster your Vault 101 avatar is wearing, which provides a +5 boost to Charisma, somehow weighs 10 lbs and needs to be dropped if you want the +25% intelligence-boosting Emo Glasses of Alacrity, which confusingly weigh 2 lbs, and the agility-enhancing rare loot, Charlie's Dirty Sweat Pants, that come in at 5 lbs.
The Stupid Moment: Seeing awesome stuff in cut-scenes that you can't do in-game
The Game: Devil May Cry (series)
Many gamers love the ridiculous excess of action games. Air juggling, dashing, jumping 10 feet in the air, and constant ground-rolling are feats which defy physics yet elicit oohs and ahhh-somes. However, if there's one thing that gets this gamer's giant sword-wielding goat, it's pulling off insane moves in-game only to see the main character bust out even crazier shit during uncontrollable cut-scenes.
It's the videogame equivalent of Nelson smugly laughing at you while the developers flex their wanna-be directorial muscles, basically affirming that instead of putting actual effort into gameplay they'd much rather craft a "cinematic experience" to "further the art" of videogame-making. The last thing most people consider art is the "Matrix" trilogy, yet many game designers mimic it, passing off their fanboy-servicing, juvenile, Dragonball Z bullshit in expensive, non-interactive slo-mo action shots while gamers are left mashing a couple buttons in-between. You know there's a problem when getting to the next cut-scene is the goal, not playing the game.
Justin Massoud also writes for Asylum.com and is secretly using his articles as research for creating the most stupidly awesome videogame ever, tentatively titled, "Angry Wild Emus Stampeding Over Mourning Earth."

We can see how an electric door opener is useful for small children, the elderly, and the infirmed, but if you're using this because you can't manage to get off your ass for 30 seconds to open the door for the UPS guy, you should just go smack your mother right now for not raising the lazy out of you.
This Swing Door Opener works on left and right swinging doors, and the remote can be assigned to two different openers simultaneously. A timer mode allows the door to be automatically closed after being open a pre-set period of time.
All this automation will run you $324.99, which is worth it if you're in one of those three categories above (young, old, sickly), but not if you're just a fat slob.

Record Labels Keep On Trying: Sue Baidu For Copyright Infringement Yet Again
from the keep-on-suing deptBack in December, Alibaba, the Chinese search engine also known as Yahoo China, lost a lawsuit from the recording industry, claiming that the search engine facilitated the downloading of unauthorized content. It's no secret that part of the reason why Alibaba and Baidu have been able to succeed in China is that they're pretty blatant in helping people find content to download. What was strange, though, was at the same time that Yahoo/Alibaba was found guilty, Baidu was found not guilty of copyright infringement, upholding an earlier decision. However, despite having lost the case, it appears that the major record labels have simply turned around and sued Baidu yet again for copyright infringement. Unfortunately, the Reuters writeup doesn't get into the history of the earlier cases (one of which ended just over a month ago) to explain why the labels can simply turn around and sue again, despite having just lost a nearly identical case.

Blue Jays enter spring with plenty of rotation options
Dickey, Buehrle to anchor starting staff; Hutchinson, Rogers in mix for final spot
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays aren't necessarily done with their offseason shopping, but regardless of what happens over the next couple of weeks, the competition for a spot in the starting rotation is about to begin.
Toronto's rotation was one of the worst in baseball last season and became the primary reason why the club was unable to live up to its preseason hype. With the exception of R.A. Dickey and Mark Buehrle, there weren't a lot of reliable options, and the end result was a last-place finish in the American League East.
The free-agent market for starting pitchers was slow to develop, but it has picked up a lot of steam in recent days. The only two high-profile arms still available on the open market are Ervin Santana and Ubaldo Jimenez, and both would be very nice fits in Toronto.
That situation will play itself out in the coming days, but here's a closer look at the starters who are already in the fold and set to report to Dunedin, Fla., on Sunday morning:
The sure bets
Dickey: The veteran knuckleballer got a lot of heat during his first season in Toronto but the numbers were never quite as bad as they might have seemed. Yes, there was a rather disappointing first half which included a lot of home runs, but this was still a pitcher who answered the call every fifth day despite a variety of injuries. Dickey finished the year second in the AL with 224 2/3 innings and had an impressive 3.57 ERA during the second half. Take away a couple of early rough starts and this is about what should have been expected from Dickey in the first place.
Brandon Morrow: The veteran righty has the potential to become a difference maker on this season's staff. Morrow has some of the best pure stuff in baseball, but now it's time for him to put everything together throughout the course of a full season. He'll want to forget all about an injury-plagued 2013 season, and there's no better way of doing that than becoming the missing piece Toronto so desperately needs.
Buehrle: The veteran southpaw has been one of the most consistent pitchers in baseball for well over a decade, and all the Blue Jays can do is hope that continues for at least a couple of more years. If there's one thing that needs to be changed, it's that Buehrle is a notoriously slow starter in April. He had an ERA north of seven on May 6 of last season, but he quickly settled into a groove and proved there was plenty left in the tank. More of the same will be expected again this year.
J.A. Happ: The Blue Jays are hoping that a change to Happ's mechanics will lead to better results in 2014. He lowered his arm slot last September, and it's an alteration that is expected to carry over into the upcoming year. Toronto feels the adjustment will help improve Happ's command and result in not having to throw as many pitches. He entered last season's Spring Training without a job, but that won't be the case this time around. Barring any last-minute changes, Happ is guaranteed to start the season in Toronto.
In the mix
Drew Hutchison: The young righty is finally back to full health after he was forced to miss the entire 2013 season following Tommy John surgery. The only real question here is whether the Blue Jays will want him to start the season in the big leagues or if they would prefer a more patient approach that could see Hutchison open the season with Triple-A Buffalo. Hutchison will have a big role at some point, but the only way to ensure his contributions begin in April will be with a strong Grapefruit League season. If he performs well this spring, it's going to be very hard for manager John Gibbons and general manager Alex Anthopoulos to keep him off the team.
Esmil Rogers: The righty finished the 2013 season in the rotation, and his expectation for the upcoming year is to have a similar role. There were glimpses of brilliance last season, but also plenty of inconsistency. With a lot more depth in the organization, Rogers' rope won't be nearly as long this season, and he'll need a strong camp to make the starting five. Otherwise, he's likely headed to the bullpen as a long reliever.
Todd Redmond: Redmond finds himself in almost the exact position as Rogers. He also finished last year in the rotation but could be on the outside looking in this spring. The danger here is that Redmond is out of options on his contract and cannot be sent to the Minor Leagues without being put on waivers. He's in the mix for a spot in either the rotation or bullpen but nothing is guaranteed despite a strong run in 2013.
Marcus Stroman: Though he appears likely to start the year in Buffalo, Stroman -- perhaps more than anyone on this list -- has the ability to drastically change his outlook this spring. The New York native is very close to being ready for the Major Leagues and could put plenty of pressure on the coaching staff with a strong Grapefruit League season. If Stroman doesn't head north at the end of Spring Training, it certainly won't be long before he finally gets that call.
Long shots
Dustin McGowan: The oft-injured veteran righty finally found a way to stay healthy last season following years spent in baseball's purgatory. Yes, there was still a shoulder injury that cost him a month of action in 2013, but that was nothing compared to his previous issues. Now there's talk that McGowan will be stretched out in Spring Training, but the logical conclusion is that the Blue Jays will not want to mess with a good thing and will instead choose to keep him in the bullpen.
Jeremy Jeffress: His days in the Blue Jays organization could be nearing an end as Jeffress enters camp without any options remaining on his contract. Regardless of what happens next, Jeffress is in a much better position than he was a year ago. He has suffered a lot of seizures over the years, but it wasn't until 2013 that he was diagnosed with juvenile epilepsy. Jeffress is now properly medicated and it resulted in a strong showing during the second half. Whether or not it's enough to earn a spot on the big league roster remains to be seen, but either way, his career is back on track.
Kyle Drabek: He has an outside chance at a starting job, but Drabeck finished last year behind Hutchison on the depth chart. All signs point to the former top pick beginning the year in the Minor Leagues, but he could become a factor later in the year.
Sean Nolin: He made his big league debut in 2013, but like Drabek, Nolin is expected to begin the season in the Minors. His time is coming and he'll likely be up at some point this season, but it probably won't be at the start of the season.

'Django Unchained' exposes raw nerves of slavery debate
Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained opens on Christmas Day – but in the tradition of many a Tarantino film, it's created its share of controversy well in advance. The film's title character (Jamie Foxx) goes from slave to bounty hunter and sets out on a mission to save his enslaved wife (Kerry Washington).
The movie takes a look at the brutality of slavery, wrapped in a spaghetti-western package. Director Spike Lee, who called the film "disrespectful" and said he has no plans to see it, tweeted this Saturday:
[tweet https://twitter.com/SpikeLee/status/282611091777941504]
Lee has taken issue with Tarantino in the past, particularly with his use of the N-word slur. By NBC's count, that slur is used 110 times in the film. theGrio managing editor Joy Reid, who guest-hosted Melissa Harris-Perry this weekend, asked both Kerry Washington and Jamie Foxx who said the following about the use of the word:
"Whatever you see in this film, as horrible as it may be to hear, or as horrible as it may be to see, it doesn't come close to how bad it really was," Washington noted. "When you say the N-word, it's not supposed to feel good. When you see how they use it, that's the way it was supposed to, that's the way it was back then. If Quentin Tarantino or any director had done a movie about slavery and didn't put it like that, there's no need to do it in 2012, in 2013 because you ain't really giving it the real thing," Foxx said.
Saturday in #nerdland, Reid questioned whether Tarantino's revenge-style presentation was the best way to present this story or if it potentially risks trivializing slavery. msnbc contributor Ari Melber, who wrote critically about Django in The Atlantic, said on Saturday's show that "it is one thing to reflect evil and reflect a tragedy and another to luxuriate in it. And my problem with this film having gone in with an open mind and liking some of Tarantino's previous work is that he takes the evil of slavery – which we will never be done talking about because it is part of our history and is part of our present and is part of our future – he uses it as a license to go on a mass-murder killing spree to, as I said, luxuriate in elements of racism that for me didn't feel historical, ethical, or judicious… but felt rather slavish."
Touré, co-host of msnbc's The Cycle, completely disagreed about the meaning of the movie.
"This is a movie about love. Two forms of love. It's about romantic love. He's searching for his wife and he's willing to go through hell to rescue his wife from the worst thing, and he's willing to become the worst thing imaginable, a black slaver in order to rescue her. That is a very romantic and beautiful story. The violence is just to get through that. We have to go through hell to rescue her."
University of Pennsylvania religious-studies professor Anthea Butler hadn't seen Django yet, but used a historical perspective to take issue with Touré's interpretation. "I don't think it's romantic," she said. "The real life slavery wasn't romantic. When I teach this in my classrooms my students are just dead because I drag them through slavery, to lynchings, to all this stuff, and they're just like beat up by the time we get to the 1920s."
When it comes to a film about slavery, people often question how much artistic interpretation should be allowed. Michael Skolnik, editor-in-chief of GlobalGrind.com, questioned whether the controversy over Django was about artistic interpretation, or the fact that America still hasn't reconciled our painful past with slavery:
"When I watch this film I think the challenge is that the violence against black people is what's brutal. That's the brutality. The burning of the flesh. The torture. These hot boxes. We haven't seen this before in this capacity. And then the response this revenge killing right that is heroic. That's triumphant. And the problem that Americans have I think with this film, or will have with this film is that Django's triumph is our triumph over slavery, but we haven't reconciled. We talk about it, Ari, you're right – but we haven't reconciled slavery."
See below the aforementioned conversation, and let us know what you think after you've seen the film – or if you're refusing to do so.

Tim Solso '69 Wins Inaugural Mitch Daniels Leadership Prize
August 26, 2013
Theodore "Tim" M. Solso, former chairman and chief operating officer of Cummins Inc. and 1969 graduate of DePauw University, will be awarded the first biennial Mitch Daniels Leadership Prize. "A jury consisting of eight of the most respected men and women in Indiana selected Solso for exemplifying bold leadership that dramatically advanced Indiana," notes an announcement. "The Daniels Prize honors one Indiana leader and awards $50,000 to a person or organization that is doing work that can markedly advance the state."
Named for the man who was governor of Indiana from 2005-13, "The Daniels Prize is designed to encourage and recognize leadership that refuses to accept the status quo as good enough, constantly aims higher and courageously executes change that results in lifting the arc of progress in Indiana."
Solso will be honored at an October 24 event in Indianapolis, where he will receive a bronze sculpture. As the winner of the Prize, he will select the recipient of a $50,000 cash award. The recipient will be an individual or organization that Solso believes emulates his and Governor Daniels' leadership mindset.
Former U.S. Rep. Lee Hamilton, a 1952 graduate of DePauw, is one of the jurors for the Daniels Prize. "Cummins is the gold standard for corporate civic responsibility," he notes. "Tim Solso was a lead player in not only building Cummins into a global enterprise, but also in carrying out its civic obligations. His leadership burnished both the company and the region. What is noteworthy, too, is his diligent effort to continue providing leadership to others even in his so-called retirement, where he has been collaborating with education and industry leaders to create a workforce that's ready for the future."
A psychology major at DePauw, Solso earned his M.B.A. from Harvard University. He served as chairman and CEO of Cummins for a dozen years (January 2000 to December 2011). Under Solso's leadership, Cummins experienced record growth; became a Fortune 250 company that designs, produces and sells diesel engines, power generation equipment and related components worldwide; and became a global product provider to more than 190 countries and territories. Under Solso's guidance, Cummins became one of America's leading businesses in China, India and Brazil. Solso's leadership led to a leadership role for Cummins in environmentally-friendly and efficient engines and his support of robust diversity in the workplace also sparked progress among Cummins' customers and suppliers.
Among myriad honors and associations, Solso was named to Barron's list of the 30 Most Respected CEO's in 2010 and 2011. He has served as a member of the board for the Initiative for Global Development, Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Central Indiana Corporate Partnership and as a member of President Barack Obama's Management Advisory Board.
A former member of DePauw's Board of Trustees, Tim Solso delivered the principal address to his alma mater's Class of 2011 and received an honorary doctoral degree at the University's 172nd annual commencement. A summary of his address, "What Will Be My Contribution?," including links to video and audio clips, can be found here. The speech is also embedded below.
