Q: Is there latexmk functionality for LuaTeX? I am a big fan of latexmk and lately I have been looking a bit towards LuaTeX. However I am yet to find a way to get the functionality of latexmk (mainly recompilation on changes and automatic rerun an appropriate number of times to resolve cross references and such) for LuaTex. Is there something similar and if not how do you LuaTeX people survive without it? :)

A: You can use Lua(La)TeX with latexmk by setting the -pdflatex parameter:

-pdflatex=<program> - set program used for pdflatex.
                       (replace '<program>' by the program name)

So latexmk should call lualatex instead of pdflatex if you invoke it like this:

latexmk -pdflatex=lualatex -pdf <texfile>

or with newer versions of latexmk there is direct Lua(La)TeX/XeLaTeX support:

-lualatex
    Use lualatex.  That is, use lualatex to process the source file(s) to pdf (in place of pdflatex).
    This option is exactly equivalent to specifying the following sequence of options:
  -pdflatex="lualatex %O %S" -pdf -dvi- -ps-

A: Instead of adding the -lualatex flag to each application of latexmk, you could
place the following

$pdflatex = 'lualatex -file-line-error %O %S';
$pdf_mode = 1;

in an '.latexmkrc' file. This file should reside in your home folder, if you use
lualatex in all your jobs, or in the folder(s) where your lualatex jobs are.
More generally, you will find a host of examples and boilerlate code for .latexmkrc in the respective CTAN repository

A: Since version 4.51 of latexmk, you can use the following .latexmkrc:
$pdf_mode = 4;
$postscript_mode = $dvi_mode = 0;

Enjoy Memphis Music by Carol M. Highsmith and hundreds more 4K artworks with the Depict Experience.
Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee has been playing the blues for more than half a century. Named after an unknown military hero in 1841, it acted as General Ulysses S. Grant's headquarters during the Civil War. But, Beale Street's heyday was in the 1920s, when the area took on a carnival atmosphere and gambling, drinking, prostitution, murder and voodoo thrived alongside the booming nightclubs, theaters, restaurants, stores, pawnshops, and hot music.


If you owned a Nintendo Entertainment System growing up the above screen will feel very familiar. In the pre-internet days video game secrets were a lot more daunting, unless you convinced your parents to buy a guide (which were sometimes incorrect) or had friends that owned the same game there may never be a chance to finish something when you were stuck. You may be stuck in a pixelated purgatory wandering the same halls and platforms over and over until the next holiday came and your interests changed.
Metroid and Castlevania were deep-dive, challenging platformers that had RPG like elements (items that increased your power instead of stats) They have received updates over the years of varying quality, but the originals are nearest and dearest to my heart.
I have a theory that things don't stop being fun with age, if something is fun it will continue to be fun even if tastes and technology change over time. I think Axiom Verge is a bit of a testament to this concept. Metroid was fun, therefore games with the same quality of design and mechanics will be fun if it is 1985 or 2015.
No one is making games quite like this anymore, so it was up to Tom Hap to be the sole artist, composer and programmer for Axiom Verge and this five year effort shines in polish and nostalgia. Currently only available for the PS4, I expect this will take up a good chunk of the next few weeks for me. I hope you enjoy it too.


Earning money online requires you to have perseverance, as well as a desire to learn from your mistakes. Too many people give up on their online earning potential once they become frustrated from a few set-backs. The key is to find out what works for you, and to stick with that formula. One of those formulas, is to use media to your advantage. There are plenty of different forms of media, and each one allows you to make money through different avenues. Media relates to your ability to advertise what you have to offer, and to make your website interesting for everyone who visits it.
YouTube is one of the best forms of multimedia to use. It allows you to upload your very own videos to promote your brand. If you are skilled at creating videos, then you need to use this valuable web source. More people visit YouTube to obtain information than other websites. Here, you can find reviews for products, tutorials, and so much more. Some people have built entire careers by posting YouTube videos online. If you want to tap into all that YouTube has to offer, then you need to consult people who understand how to use media to their advantage.
Media also includes the use of videos, usable links, and interactive website features. All of these aspects come together to help you to make the most money possible online. The key is to make sure that you use these videos to help students access all of the interactive features that you have to offer. If you are concerned about how to set up media through your website, then consult an SEO professional to get the job done correctly. The use of media is incredibly important if you want to make plenty of money over time.

LightSkinKeisha Accused of Lying About Her Age While Celebrating Birthday
LightSkinKeisha got a lot of people confused about her age when she celebrated her birthday on Friday, September 4. Even though her Wikipedia page stated she was born in 1994, which would make her turn 26 this year, the rapper claimed that she marked her 21st birthday during the party and left everyone baffled.
Sharing on Instagram footage taken during her birthday bash, Keisha wrote in the caption of the post, "Happy 21st Birthday to meeeee," thanking her boyfriend for preparing the bash for her. The hip-hop star also expressed her gratitude to those who attended her birthday party and sent her well wishes on her special day.
Keisha added, "BigBankBeisha Birthday we brought it in the BIG way ! I'm thankful for a lot this year, my team who always pushes me to be the best and go harder, and all of the support. It means so much to me. I love y'all, thank you."
Her claiming she's only 21 got a lot of people confused, with a number of people accusing her of lying as they pointed out that the birthday cake in her videos stated that she's 27. Even though Keisha insisted that she's 21, many people hardly believed she was telling the truth and continued to accuse her of lying.
"Lightskin keisha was trolling lol, that candle said 27, she aint slick," one person wrote, as an individual commented, "LightSkinKeisha is out here lying about skin color and age, I hate to see it." Someone else said, "Y'all really believe Lightskin Keisha 21?! Lol" Meanwhile, one more person chimed in, "y'all slow if you really think lightskinkeisha just turned 21 lol it was a JOKE."
There was also someone who gave her/his two cents, "Um. Lightskin keisha gotta be lying about her age." On the other hand, another wrote, "Y'all really stupid if y'all think Light Skin Keisha is 21. My girl is 27. Everybody wanna be 21 after the pass the age of 25."

Following the 1976 heatwave the public were advised to grow drought-tolerant plants sucha as geraniums.
Global warming? Forget it! Whilst recently sorting my archive material, I was amazed to discover a vivid description of a terrible flood endured by Scarborians and local villages in August 1857.
Although many will recall a similar one in 1953, previous disasters seldom were recorded. There always have been extremes of weather, and I guess there always will be. It's nature's way.
It began raining on Thursday, August 9, and rapidly increased between 10pm-11pm. That night drains overflowed all over the town, and rain became more violent until 1am.
Aberdeen Terrace resembled a natural lake, and the wall enclosing St Thomas' Hospital was washed away. William Street was several feet under water, and the North Sands each side of Peasholm were strewn with large uprooted trees, fragments of bathing machines, blocks of earth, and stones from the cliffs.
In St Mary's Churchyard, part of the south wall collapsed, and the torrent bore away tombstones. Masses of mud and stones slid down Castle Hill, and Quay Street was deep in mud.
The town became shrouded in darkness, for soon after 10pm the fires in the Gas Works were extinguished by the waters rushing down Burr Bank, and Long Greece steps area.
Next morning nearly every house on Sandside was full of water and sand. Fishermen stood in kitchens up to their waists in water, bailing with buckets.
The lower part of one house in King Street was seven feet deep in water which burst through the garden wall and carried it away.
In the Valley, water was eight feet deep, and Huntriss Row three feet. Gardens were carried away in Queen Street.
A parrot in its cage was sadly drowned before its situation was discovered.
The waters rushed through Friargate, inundated the Friends' Meeting House, and raged in St Sepulchre Street. The mad cataract poured thousands of gallons of water into the Britannica Inn, then situated in Merchants Row.
The rain-gauge kept by the museum curator was constructed to show 9.5 inches. On Friday morning it was over-flowing! There were extremely bad floods in Scalby and Hackness too.
In the August 30, 1912 edition of the Manchester Guardian, it was claimed that Scarborough had the highest floods on record.
The Executive of the Commissioners under the Improvement Act, strong in their sense of duty, met to consider what was to be done.
What can one do against the hand of nature? Men's efforts are futile and ineffective.
So much for media hysteria about global warming.
In the 1970s we were advised – following the 1976 heatwave – to grow only drought-tolerating plants such as geraniums, varieties of ornamental grasses, and succulents etc.
Even vineyards were recommended for hillside terraces, and peach trees for gardens.
Man will never rule the world. It's God's creation, and nature balances life on earth, and always will.

Foster the People to Release "Sacred Hearts Club"
Date: July 19, 2017Author: Emma Balmforth 0 Comments
American indie band Foster the People are set to release their third studio album titled "Sacred Hearts Club". The album will be released just two days from now on July 21st, 2017. The album will be available in stores and through online music service providers including Apple Music and Spotify. Two singles have already been released from the album including "Loyal Like Sid & Nancy" and "Sit Next to Me".
Foster the People gained fame in 2010 when they released their first hit single "Pumped Up Kicks". During the rise of indie pop, the band found themselves at the center of the growing music genre, with their songs being played on the radio around the world. Foster the People later released four other singles from their first album "Torches". In 2014, the band came back with their second album "Supermodel". With four singles released from their second album, they did not achieve the same kind of fame and success they originally garnered from their first album "Torches".
Foster the People spend an incredible amount of time each year playing at music festivals and concert halls across North America. The band occasionally head to Europe, Asia, and Australia to play at shows and festivals. Every summer, the band can be found playing at top music festivals in Canada and America including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Osheaga Music & Arts Festival, Coachella Music & Arts Festival, and the relatively new WayHome Music & Arts Festival. Fans and music lovers flock to the stage where the indie pop band play due to their upbeat and exciting performances. For this reason, the third studio album "Sacred Hearts Club" from Foster the People is highly anticipated, by both fans and music critics.

Engaging the Critics
On Thomas Ice and Joel 2/Acts 2
In reference to Thomas Ice and his claims about Joel 2 and Acts 2. I have had, so far, two radio debates with Thomas Ice. In the first encounter, the question was posed as to whether we are living in the last days. I responded by noting that Ice's paradigm absolutely forbids that Israel's last days could have been existence on Pentecost, or at any time in the first century after the crucifixion, because of their "gap theory." In this paradigm, the prophetic clock of the 70 Weeks of Daniel 9 were interrupted, or suspended due to the Jewish rejection of the kingdom offer. That offer was withdrawn, and will not be offered again until after the Rapture, when the 70th Week countdown ostensibly resumes.
I took note that Peter, in Acts 2:15f, emphatically says of the events on that day, "This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel" and then directly quotes from Joel 2:28f! There could not be a more positive, emphatic, and unmistakable statement anywhere in scripture! Joel's anticipated last days, Israel's fateful last generation, was present! This single fact utterly destroys the entire millennial house of cards.
I repeatedly called Thomas', and the audience's, attention to Acts, noting that Peter did not say, "This is something like what it will be when Joel is fulfilled." Nor did he say that Joel was being "partially fulfilled," as Ice's book Prophecy Watch, p. 137 says. Ice co-authored Prophecy Watch with Timothy Demy. Near the end of the show, Ice, clearly frustrated, told the audience that if they wanted to know what he really believed about Acts 2 and Joel, that they needed to contact him. He implied that I was misrepresenting his position. I denied that, quoting again from Prophecy Watch. He said, repeatedly, that he had never written such a thing, and had never believed, at any time, that Joel's prophecy was "partially fulfilled" on Pentecost.
It was at this juncture that I asked him, "Thomas, are you telling us that you put your name on books, and you don't even agree with what they say?" His response shocked not only me, but lots of other people that contacted me after the show. He said "Yes."
The problem for Ice is that Peter knew exactly what he was saying, and no amount of manipulation or denial can change his emphatic words. When Peter said "This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel" he clearly did not mean, "This is not that which was spoken by the prophet Joel!" Further, had he wished to say that the events of Pentecost were a type, a foreshadowing, of a future fulfillment, he had plenty of Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic words that could have conveyed "likeness." He did not use those words. He said "This is that!"
After the debate was over, Thomas contacted me asking for verification of the quote from Prophecy Watch, again insisting that he had never taught that Joel was "partially fulfilled" on Pentecost. I sent the documentation, and Ice responded by admitting that the quote was as I had stated. However, he insisted that Timothy Demy had written that part of the book, and that had he, Ice, caught it, it would never have made it past the editing stage.
Thomas sent me a copy of an article written by Arnold Fructhenbaum, saying that the article accurately represents what he believes about Joel 2 and Acts 2. In that article, Furchtenbaum says that "virtually nothing that was foretold by Joel occurred on Pentecost." This is more than remarkable, and shows the willingness of the millennialists to overtly deny the inspired text.
Joel said in the last days, the Spirit would be poured out. On Pentecost, the Spirit was poured out in an unprecedented way. There has never been anything like it before or since. Joel said when the Spirit was poured out, it would result in the manifestation of the miraculous. On Pentecost, when the Spirit was poured out, the twelve miraculously spoke in tongues, and then proceeded to perform miraculous healings. Joel said the Spirit would be poured out on the house of Israel. Peter was addressing the house of Israel, and said that those who obeyed the gospel of Jesus, the Messiah now on David's throne in the heavens, would receive the right to receive "the gift of the Holy Spirit." Joel said that the outpouring of the Spirit would be a sign of the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord, and Peter urged his audience "Save yourselves from this untoward generation." This is all but a quote of Deuteronomy 32, which was a prediction of Israel's last days judgment (Deuteronomy 32:20, 28)
Thus, virtually everything that Joel said would happen in the last days, did happen on Pentecost! Yet, Ice and virtually all millennialists insist that Joel was not fulfilled on Pentecost! Now, not everything Joel foretold happened on Pentecost, nor was it supposed to. The Gentiles were not given the Spirit on Pentecost. That would take a bit of time. And, the Day of the Lord did not occur on Pentecost. Nor was it supposed to. The outpouring of the Spirit was to be a sign of the impending Day of the Lord. The Spirit was not to be poured out on that Day. In fact, that Day would be the termination of that miraculous outpouring.
The only reason that Ice, and millennialists, deny Peter's words is because of preconceived ideas. If Israel's last days existed on Pentecost, after the Jewish rejection of Jesus, the millennial theory is destroyed. It is that simple, for this means that Daniel's prophetic clock was still clicking, and the seventieth week was present! Thus, they cannot allow "this is that" to mean "this is that." They are forced to make it mean "this is not that." This is more than a little remarkable considering that the millennialists vehemently insist that, "The Bible means what it says, and says what it means." In the case of Peter and Pentecost, however, for the millennialists, the Bible does not say what it means, and does not mean what it says! One can only wonder what would happen to all of the other NT statements like, "This happened that it might be fulfilled," etc. etc. if we were to apply Ice's hermeneutic. In short, what would happen is that the Deity of Jesus as the fulfiller of the Law and Prophets would be destroyed. For, after all, "this happened that it might be fulfilled," probably does not mean prophecy was actually being fulfilled. It actually meant that virtually nothing that was being done by Jesus was really the fulfillment of what the prophets spoke!!
If, in fact, Thomas Ice did claim, that the word translated "is" (estin) in "this is that,"does not appear in the Greek text, this is irresponsible. The word "estin" most definitely is in the Greek text. For Ice to claim otherwise is, tragically, typical, however. He seems all too willing to make virtually any claim to avoid the Truth. If he knew that "estin" is in the Greek text, and claimed otherwise, he is guilty of blatant dishonesty. If he did not know if "estin" is in the text, which of course takes but a moment to determine, then he should not have made any claim about it one way or the other.
Personally, it is difficult for me to imagine, after my emphasis on Acts 2:15f in our radio debate, that Ice had not gone over the Greek text with a fine toothed comb looking for any kind of excuse whatsoever to escape the force of Peter's words. In such a case, he could not have failed to know that "estin" is in the text. However, only Thomas Ice knows for sure whether he did or did not know if "is," "is"!!

Ani Hovannisian's New Documentary The Hidden Map Slated for Pomegranate Film Festival
Pomegranate Film Festival has slated Ani Hovannisian's new documentary The Hidden Map for its 2019 program scheduled to kick off today in Toronto.
Prior to public screenings, The Hidden Map has been recognized with an ImpactDOCS award in an esteemed international documentary film competition.
A broadcast journalist by education and training, Hovannisian directed and produced numerous true human-interest stories for television and other international audiences before setting out to make her first film.
The Hidden Map was conceived when Ani, traveling through historic Western Armenia with her father historian Richard G. Hovannisian and a small group led by Armen Aroyan, had a chance encounter with an enigmatic Scottish explorer, Steven Sim. Camera always in hand, Ani began following the steps of the solitary explorer and learned that he had been documenting the relics of the lost Armenian past for 30 years. Though he had always traveled alone, almost invisibly, Sim agreed to set out together.
The Armenian and Scotsman trek through the layered landscape, digging beneath the surface of modern-day Turkey to uncover the crumbled remnants and buried stories of the forbidden past. He is consumed with finding and giving voice to the ruins before they disappear entirely. She is determined to come face to face with the ominous past, lifting long-silenced stories out of oblivion and people out of shadows as she reaches for home. Together, they revealThe Hidden Map.
The documentary will be screened on Sunday, November 17 at the Hamazkayin theatre at AYC, Toronto.

This can be a combination of technique of beginning the meals in a sizzling sauté pan then ending in a scorching oven. The method of cooking meals in a boiling water or different water primarily based liquids resembling milk.
Pollan explains that considering this dilemma triggered one thing in him to write down this book, and I think he makes an essential overarching commentary: although cooking is probably not the most efficient use of time, it is an alchemic course of that transforms each uncooked meals and other people.

MNNQNS met in their hometown of Rouen in France, united by a love of post-punk. Also inspired by a disparate mix of influences ranging from from Deerhunter to Death Grips, MNNQNS are just about to release their debut LP 'Body Negative'. We caught up with them to discuss empathy, The Fall and veganism.
What has been your biggest life challenge so far and what did you do to overcome it?
Making a living with my music. I started to write songs when I was 13 and there was no Plan B I guess. Staying focused on a goal like that has helped me to get through many things.
What do you think affects your mental health positively?
Leaving the city.
Getting some fresh air in the countryside is often a cure for many things.
And negatively?
Going back to the city. Usually when I come home from touring I always feel the need to be with people. It's like I need to extend the feeling. That's when it becomes hard to find the right amount of partying…and this definitely has an effect on my mental wellbeing.
What role does creativity play in your wellbeing?
It's the most important part of it. Turning what's living in your head into real sounds or words or images is the best way to understand yourself better. It's self-translation.
What are you reading, watching and listening to at the moment?
I'm reading 'Renegade' by Mark E. Smith and it's a lot of fun. We've done a cover of 'Totally Wired' for a French Tribute to The Fall (Teenage Hate Records, out in October) so it was the right moment to get into it. These days I'm really enjoying BBC documentaries, there's one on youtube called 'Synth Britannia' that is about the beginnings of electronic music in the UK, it's a must-watch if you're into that kind of stuff! I'm listening to a lot of industrial music at the moment like Nine Inch Nails, Throbbing Gristle, Einstürzende Neubauten…These bands are very different but their vibes are fascinating, it's all about the mood they set you in. The way they seem to be looking for new sounds all the time amazes me as well.
What's your go to music if you need a boost?
'See Through Head' By The Hives.
What are your favourite foods?
Anything vegan I guess. I'm not much of a food lover actually.
Do you like to exercise or meditate at all?
I should! Sadly I'm a mess when it comes to scheduling things, but I really should.
What is the best advice you've ever received in regards to your mental wellbeing?
"Do nothing". I can't stay still for a minute and I feel bad when I spend a day without creating anything. It's strange, really, but I'm slowly learning to change that.
How have you changed since 15, and what advice would you give to that person?
I'm worried about becoming more and more indifferent to many things but maybe it's just the effect of time? On the other hand I now feel a deeper love for the people I really like. That reassures me a bit. The only advice I would allow myself to give is to be more empathic to everyone, not only a group of people, and sometimes yourself too.

Going to the White House
I've been a politics geek since I was about 10 years old and I went from reading the sports page of the Detroit News to the front page. I've been reading about it, arguing about it, covering it on some level as a journalist, and some times writing about it as an advocate, ever since.
So getting invited to the White House as part of a delegation of California activists, organizers and bloggers, organized by the Courage Campaign, is a big deal. A lot of us have expressed frustration with the Obama administration for it's unwillingness to focus on jobs and housing in a more effective way, for its embrace of the austerity agenda, and its failure to hold bankers accountable in any meaningful way for the financial collapse that the whole country is still suffering from.
I was ambivalent about going at first, because this administration has sometimes seemed so determined not to get to it, to prize elusive bipartisanship over a strong fight for what's right, for its cluelessness about the depth of the unemployment and housing crisis that continues to cause so much misery across the country.
That cluelessness was on display again in the past few days, when the president proclaimed no deficit deal would be fair without "shared sacrifice" that would require hedge fund managers to pay higher taxes while the government cut Medicaid. Does the president really believe that the sacrifice is equivalent – millionaires having to get by on a little less while people who are dependent on the government for health care get less care?
Even in planning our visit, the White House doesn't seem to get it. We'll have break-out sessions on education reform, the new health care law, lesbian gay transgender bisexual issues, the environment and labor – but no session on the foreclosure crisis and housing. The administration's efforts in this area, so crucial to California's economy, have been particularly lame. Whether or not the president's staff wants to focus on it, I'm sure they will get an earful.
What I will suggest to the president's people is that he's vulnerable because he hasn't done enough to reduce unemployment or to address the foreclosure crisis, and because too often he has accepted the Radical Republicans' and the deficit hawks' terms of the debate. When the president debates on those terms, he loses. We all lose.
Still, I don't want to give up on the administration or the people who continue to put their faith in him. I'll go in memory of my father, Irving Berg, who would be 90 this year. He saw great promise in Obama and wouldn't allow frustration to cause me to give up on him, or fail to participate in some effort that might set Obama on a firmer course.
We meet with the president's top staff on Friday all day. Any messages you want me to deliver?
Action / D.C. Disconnect / Foreclosures / Martin Column / Outrage / President Barack Obama - 09/22/2011
Today's Census Bureau report on 2010 paints an unvarnished picture of the economic state of the union, and it's not pretty.
The report confirms the damage done by the Wall Street debacle in 2008. The median income of American households fell by 6.4% from 2007. The median household income is 7.1% lower than it was at its peak, which occurred twelve years ago –in 1999. When you hear people talk about the "Lost Decade," that's what they mean.
The number of Americans in poverty jumped to 15.1% in 2010. A total of 46.2 million Americans were in poverty. That's about 1 in every 6. The poverty rate grew almost 3 million from 2009, when 43.6 million, or 14.3 percent of Americans, were in poverty. The 2010 poverty level is the highest since 1983. More Americans are in poverty today than there were in 1959; but at least the rate has declined from around 23% in 1959.
But even these frightening statistics do not tell the whole story. Buried in the data was the fact that nearly a quarter of American families experienced "a poverty spell" lasting two or more months during 2009.
One measure of America has always been its promise of a better life for each succeeding generation. That principle is endangered too, the report shows. Twenty-two percent of Americans under 18 years old are in poverty. And the number of 25 to 34 year olds living with their parents rose 25% between 2007 and 2011.
Finally, the report contains some interesting demographic data pertinent to the politics of health care reform. Since 1987, the total number of Americans without health insurance has increased 40% - but remains at roughly 16% of the nation. Most Americans still get their health coverage from employers, but that number has dropped to 53% from about 65% in the late 1990s. A third of Americans are covered by government programs – a roughly 30% increase from 1987.
For people who feel like America is headed in the wrong direction, these numbers agree.
Harvey Column / Outrage - 09/13/2011
Bombing Ants in the Sausage Factory
The only aspect of the financial reform legislation that's truly strong is the level of rhetorical nonsense that both parties have unleashed around it: Democrats and the media exaggerate when they praise it as "the toughest financial overhaul since the Great Depression."
Not to be outdone, the Republican House minority leader, John Boehner, has weighed in, describing the proposal as a nuclear weapon being used to kill an ant.
Which would make the financial crisis the ant, I guess.
On Tuesday, the nuclear bomb had to go back to the, uh, sausage factory, for some more grinding after Sen. Robert Byrd's death and the defection of a former Republican reform supporter left the Dems with less than the 60 votes they need to overcome the wall of Republican opposition.
One of the few chinks in that wall had been Sen. Scott Brown. But Brown balked after a $20 billion tax on hedge funds and banks was inserted into the legislation to pay for the costs of modest additional regulation. The Republican senator from Massachusetts said he opposed placing a greater burden on financial institutions and he feared the costs of the tax would be passed on to consumers. So the reform proposal is headed back to the conference committee.
Let's be clear: overheated and mangled rhetoric aside, the financial reform proposal does nothing to reduce the risk posed by our "too-big to fail" banks or to prevent another crisis. The proposal leaves much of the details to regulators subject to lobbying by the very institutions they're supposed to oversee.
Now legislators think they've found a better bet to fund their reform: you!
According to the New York Times, they're considering ending the Troubled Asset Relief Program early and diverting about $11 billion in taxpayer funds.
The Times observed this leaves legislators with a couple of awkward choices. "So," the Times concludes, "the choice becomes a tax that might be passed along to consumers, or a charge directly to American taxpayers."
Is this the best they can do? I'm increasingly sympathetic to Sen. Russ Feingold, the Wisconsin Democrat who is bucking his president and party, opposing reform because it doesn't get the job done.
I would suggest that Boehner got it wrong, that the ant[s] are not the financial crisis; they're the legislators scrambling around serving the banks' interests when they're supposed to be serving ours.
But that would give ants a bad name.
Financial Reform Legislation / Martin Column / TARP - 06/29/2010
The administration that promised change we can believe in and the highest level of transparency in history now delivers "too big to fail" banks - bigger, more complicated and secret than ever.
First, the Obama administration and the Democratic majority in Congress continued policies that assured a number of large financial institutions that taxpayers had bailed out after the financial collapse got even larger and more powerful.
Now the administration and congressional leadership have proposed a scheme that leaves the big banks in place, with a regulatory scheme that provides more questions than answers, with secrecy that treats the banking system like a CIA covert operation.

Country group BR549 — formerly written BR5-49 — officially has dropped the dash from its name.

We never thought we'd ever go this far ... Younger people really don't know what the name BR549 is all about. To them it's just a series of numbers and letters." After releasing two studio albums and two live projects for Arista Records, the band signed with Sony's Lucky Dog imprint and will release a new set, This Is BR549, on June 26. ...

Kansas, Ok - A tornado that raked the northern Kansas landscape for about 90 minutes was impressive both for its classic "wedge" shape and its sheer endurance — staying on the ground about 10 times longer than the typical twister.
The Storm Prediction Center says most tornadoes last less than 10 minutes and stay on the ground for about 3½ miles. Wednesday's storm covered about 23 miles between Niles and Chapman, but was moving so slowly it lasted an hour and a half and was so isolated that other storms never interrupted its air flow.
The SPC says the legendary, long-lived tornadoes talked about from a century ago were most likely a series of storms along one general path.
The twister that hit Kansas tracked eastward at about 15 mph. The slow forward motion gave forecasters plenty of time to warn people living in the area to either get out of the storm's way or take shelter.
The National Weather Service at Topeka warned Chapman's 1,400 residents at 8:06 p.m. Wednesday that the storm was 4 miles west. With the storm moving at 15 mph, that gave people 16 minutes to prepare. There have been no reports of injuries or deaths.
Tornadoes are usually part of weather systems that form multiple storms — one with hail here, high winds there. Cold air flowing out of those other storms often chokes off the balance a storm needs to keep a tornado going, said Erik Rasmussen, a research scientist at the University of Oklahoma and the project director for Vortex Southeast.
"The things that end up destroying a tornado didn't happen," Rasmussen said. "It was really just bad luck." The next-nearest storm capable of influencing the Chapman twister was south of Wichita, Kansas, 120 miles to the south.
Tornadoes — and on a larger scale, hurricanes — are the most efficient way to move air from one part of the atmosphere to another. Typically in the U.S., tornadoes form when moist, warm air from the Gulf moves northward on air currents to meet drier, cooler air moving in from the Pacific or Canada.
Warm air rises and cool air falls. When air masses collide, physics dictates how to achieve a balance in the atmosphere. Sometimes that involves tornadoes, sometimes it doesn't. The triggering mechanism isn't fully known, which is why meteorology remains a science.
Most often, tornadoes die after 10 minutes or less, but if the intake and outflow are balanced they can continue for an hour or more, as on Wednesday.
Rasmussen said tornadoes that endure for so long are extraordinary.
"I'm sure less than 1 percent of tornadoes last 90 minutes or more. There's probably only two or three a year," Rasmussen said. The U.S. sees an average of about 1,200 tornadoes a year.
For a common comparison, consider how a bathtub drains. More water in the tub means the funnel will last longer.
Being on the ground a long time does not necessarily make a storm a killer, and being on the ground a short time doesn't make a storm insignificant. Wednesday's storm, and another earlier this week near Dodge City, Kansas, were in sparsely populated areas.
The Joplin, Missouri, storm that killed 158 people five years ago was on the ground for 6 miles; a storm that killed 24, including seven school children, at Moore, Oklahoma, in 2013 was on the ground for 14 miles.
A Super Tuesday storm in 2008 was on the ground in Arkansas for about two hours — a half-hour longer than Wednesday's twister — but moved faster and was deadlier across rugged terrain. It covered 122 miles and killed 13.
