Billboard and Nielsen have revealed that U.S. YouTube video streaming data has been added to multiple platforms, which includes an update to the formula for the five-decade-old Hot 100. YouTube streaming data is now factored into the chart, enhancing a recipe that includes digital download track sales (and physical singles sales), as tracked by Nielsen SoundScan, as well as terrestrial radio airplay, on-demand audio streaming, and online radio streaming, as tracked by Nielsen BDS.
Due to this recent change, "Harlem Shake" became just the 21st song to debut at #1 on the Hot 100, and is the only track to debut so high from an artist who was basically unknown before entering.
First iTunes, now the Hot 100? Didn't we tell you 2013 was EDM's year?

Pierre Cuq, dit Pierre Mondy, né le  à Neuilly-sur-Seine et mort le  à Paris, est un comédien et metteur en scène français.

Biographie

Jeunesse et début de carrière

Pierre Cuq naît à Neuilly-sur-Seine le . Son père est le directeur de l'externat Saint-Joseph, sa mère en est l'économe.

Pierre a des origines corréziennes par sa grand-mère maternelle, Antoinette Léonie Mondy, d'où son nom de scène. Il effectue ses études secondaires pendant la guerre au lycée Lapérouse d'Albi jusqu'à l'obtention de son baccalauréat. Avec le SC Albi, il découvre le rugby à XV et en deviendra président d'honneur. Il a également été lycéen à Gaillac.

En 1946, il s'inscrit au cours Simon.

En 1948, il débute comme doublure au théâtre avant d'obtenir un petit rôle au cinéma dans Rendez-vous de juillet (1949). Dans ce film, il tourne avec Louis de Funès, qu'il retrouvera à plusieurs reprises au cinéma, et notamment sous la direction d'Yves Robert dans Ni vu, ni connu en 1957. Il le mettra aussi en scène dans Oscar au théâtre du Palais-Royal en 1972.

En 1960, il obtient la reconnaissance internationale pour son rôle de Napoléon Bonaparte dans le film Austerlitz d'Abel Gance, une prestation qui lui permet de montrer une facette plus dramatique de son talent.

Carrière au théâtre
Parallèlement, Pierre Mondy entame une carrière d'acteur sur les planches en apparaissant dans l'émission Au théâtre ce soir. Aux côtés de comédiens comme Jacqueline Maillan, Sophie Desmarets, Jean Le Poulain, Michel Serrault ou Jean Poiret  il s'illustre dans des pièces de Feydeau, Achard, Guitry, Francis Veber, Louis Calaferte, Arthur Miller ou Neil Simon. Au théâtre, Pierre Mondy devient aussi l'un des plus prolifiques metteurs en scène de la scène française, des années 1960 aux années 2000 avec plus de 64 pièces.

En 1974, il devient le premier scénographe de la pièce La Cage aux folles de Jean Poiret. Pierre Mondy fera, comme un clin d'œil, la voix française d'Ugo Tognazzi dans l'adaptation cinématographique réalisée par Édouard Molinaro en 1978.

En 1982, Pierre Mondy succède à Jean Poiret dans Joyeuses Pâques. Il a souvent déclaré qu'entre eux deux, c'était une belle amitié, doublée d'une grande admiration pour l'artiste talentueux qu'était Poiret. À sa mort, Pierre Mondy avouera s'être senti orphelin.

En 1983, il met en scène La fille sur la banquette arrière avec Anny Duperey et Bernard Giraudeau.

En 1993, il met en scène le Dîner de cons de Francis Veber.

En 1996, il met en scène Bagatelle(s) avec Michel Sardou qu'il dirige pour la première fois.

Suite de carrière au cinéma et à la télévision
Dans les années 1970, il poursuit sa carrière cinématographique le plus souvent dans des comédies populaires telles que la trilogie de la  de Robert Lamoureux, dans laquelle il incarne le sergent-chef Chaudard. Dans Le Téléphone rose d'Édouard Molinaro, il succombe aux charmes de Mireille Darc et dans Vas-y maman de Nicole de Buron, il affronte Annie Girardot.

Pierre Mondy, pressenti pour jouer l'adjudant Gerber, dans la série des Gendarmes, avec Louis de Funès, est finalement remplacé par Michel Galabru, faute de temps (tournée).

De 1992 à 2004, on le voit à la télévision dans la série Les Cordier, juge et flic, dans le rôle du populaire commissaire Cordier, au côté de Bruno Madinier, qui interprète son fils, de l'actrice Antonella Lualdi, qui interprète Lucia Cordier, sa femme mais également de Charlotte Valandrey qui interprète le rôle de sa fille Myriam,journaliste.

Le rôle de Myriam Cordier a d'abord été joué dans l'épisode pilote par Alicia Alonso puis par Charlotte Valandrey des saisons 1 à 9 + des apparitions récurrentes dans la saison 10.

De 2005 à 2007, on le voit dans la série dérivée Commissaire Cordier, toujours accompagné de l'actrice Antonella Lualdi, qui interprète Lucia Cordier, sa femme.

En 2002, Pierre Mondy publie ses mémoires dans La Cage aux souvenirs. Il aimait citer son professeur René Simon pour donner une des raisons de son succès : « À talent égal, la chance fait la différence. Moi j'en ai beaucoup, j'ai rencontré des gens importants du spectacle qui ont été déterminants dans mon existence ».

En 2009, il joue le rôle de César dans le Livre VI de la série Kaamelott.

Maladie et décès
En , il est hospitalisé à la suite d'un malaise, et les médecins diagnostiquent un lymphome, qui est soigné en .

Ses obsèques ont lieu cinq jours plus tard en l'église Saint-Honoré-d'Eylau de Paris, non loin de son domicile de Paris,  arrondissement, en présence de nombreuses personnalités du monde du cinéma et du théâtre.

Il est ensuite inhumé au cimetière nouveau de Neuilly-sur-Seine, division 1A .

Preemption Update: Colacicco v. Apotex, et al.
On March 9, 2009, the United States Supreme Court granted petitions for writs of certiorari in two cases that were pending from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals: Colacicco v. Apotex, et al., 08-437, and Pa. Employees Benefit Trust Fund v. Zeneca, 07-822. The High Court ordered further review in each case in light of its decision last week in Wyeth v. Levine.
We would like to extend a special thank you to our friends at the American Association of Justice (formerly, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America), which yesterday published a comprehensive and thoroughly illuminating report examining the Bush Administration's preemption agenda during the last eight years. This is an excellent piece of work, and a must read for every plaintiff's lawyer. We won't belabor this blog spot with commentary (and there's not much we could add anyway), but instead let you get right to reading it … AAJ Preemption Report.
On September 17, 2008, Wyeth filed its reply brief in Wyeth v. Levine, No. 06-1249, in which it continues to insist that it could not comply with both federal prescription drug regulations and any state-based common law duties to warn. Wyeth Reply Brief.
In yet another resounding victory for Plaintiffs in the battle against federal preemption, a federal district judge has rejected a drug manufacturer's attempt to skirt liability by invoking the doctrine of implied conflict preemption. On August 29, 2008, in a 53-page memorandum opinion in Knipe v. SmithKline Beecham, d/b/a GlaxoSmithKline, 2:06-cv-03024 (RB) (E.D. Pa.), Senior Judge Ronald Buckwalter denied GlaxoSmithKlines' (GSK's) summary judgment motion based on preemption.
On July 24, 2008, the Eastern District Court of Missouri rejected yet another drug manufacturer's attempt to jettison lawsuits based on preemption. In In re: Celexa and Lexapro Prod. Liab. Litig., 4:06-md-01736 (RWS), a Multidistrict Litigation with approximately 42 cases alleging suicidal injuries caused by either Celexa or Lexapro, the defendants, Forest Laboratories, Inc. and Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. moved to dismiss 22 of the cases on conflict preemption grounds. The cases in question all involved plaintiffs or decedents who were over the age of 24 at the time of their suicidal event or their suicide.

Pennsylvania Motorcyclist Killed When Couch Blocks Traffic
by Shollenberger Januzzi & Wolfe, LLP | Dec 11, 2010 | Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are the smallest motor vehicles on the road on a given day. Motorcyclists are constantly watching out for other cars and trucks in traffic. Many times, motorcycle accidents occur because the driver of another vehicle did not see the motorcyclist.
There are instances, however, where a motorcycle accident is caused by something else. Several months ago, a Pennsylvania man was killed after he hit a guard rail on the side of the road and flew off his motorcycle. Just the other day, a truck driver was charged in connection with the man's death.
According to the report, the truck driver had been hauling furniture when a couch fell off his truck and onto the road. As a result, traffic began swerving around the piece of furniture. The man riding the motorcycle apparently swerved to avoid hitting traffic, which had slowed down, causing him to crash.
In a situation like this, a piece of furniture in the middle of the road poses serious traffic issues. When transporting something like a couch, the driver should make sure that the furniture is securely fastened and will not fall into the road. Though the motorcyclist's death was the only reported injury, other accidents and injuries could have occurred as cars attempted to dodge the couch.
An investigation also revealed that the man did not have a motorcycle license and was riding a motorcycle that had not passed a recent state inspection. Typically state regulations such as safety inspections and valid license requirements are in place to protect not only the drivers but others on the road.

Why South African law on directors' delinquency is open to abuse
The share price of Old Mutual has recently dropped drastically, partly due to publicity of the unprecedented move by the former CEO, Peter Moyo, to have all 14 non-executive directors on the board declared delinquent and thus banned from being directors.
Rehana Cassim, Senior Lecturer in Company Law, University of South Africa
For the first time in South African company law, courts have the power to declare directors delinquent. This remedy was introduced as part of the overhaul of South Africa's corporate law regime in 2011. It is an innovative remedy available to shareholders and other stakeholders to hold company directors accountable. The newly-adopted delinquency order sets out to raise standards of good behaviour expected of directors. It also protects the public from incompetent and dishonest directors.
To be declared delinquent, a director must be guilty of serious misconduct. There must be a gross abuse of the director's position, gross negligence, wilful misconduct or a breach of trust. Gross abuse is not a trivial misdemeanour. A gross abuse would be if a director exploits company information or takes a business opportunity that should have been given to his company.
Other examples of conduct which have resulted in delinquency orders are failing to refund money to the South African Revenue Service; taking financial benefits and unlawfully excluding a shareholder from the benefits to which he is entitled; allowing a company to trade knowing that it is insolvent; failing to prepare annual financial statements or not holding annual general meetings for several years; and taking bribes of millions of Rands in exchange for turning a blind eye to the looting of municipal, stokvel and pension funds at VBS Mutual Bank.
A host of things aren't enough for a delinquency order. These include poor decision-making, ordinary commercial misjudgement or a misguided reliance on incorrect professional advice.
A delinquency order will ban a person from being a director for at least seven years, or even for a lifetime in very serious cases. His name is put on a public register of disqualified directors. Even though a delinquency order will not send a director to jail, it carries a stigma and reputational damage.
Conditions may be imposed on a delinquency order, such as ordering the director to go for remedial education or to do community service. After three years he may apply to court for the order to be suspended and suspended with an order of probation. But he may face challenges in convincing a court of his rehabilitation.
In my research I have found that courts do not make enough use of these kinds of conditions when declaring directors delinquent. Courts should impose appropriate conditions on the delinquency order to protect the public from a recurrence of the conduct and to enhance the director's rehabilitation.
Who can apply for a delinquency order?
In addition, I found that South Africa's remedy is open to abuse. This is because the country's law, unlike the UK or US, has a much wider definition of who can act.
For example, it allows employee representatives or trade unions the right to apply for a delinquency order. The company secretary and a prescribed officer can also apply for a delinquency order. And it gives one director or a single shareholder the power to bring delinquency proceedings. There is nothing to stop a disgruntled director or shareholder from doing so. There is a great deal of potential for any of these people to put directors under pressure by exercising this right, or by threatening to exercise it.
In contrast, in the US a single director or shareholder cannot apply to court for an order to remove a director. Instead, the application must be brought derivatively by the board of directors or a shareholder – that is, in the company's name, and not in their personal name. A derivative action allows a person to bring an action on behalf of a company to protect the company's legal interests from parties allegedly causing harm to the company.
South Africa has gone in completely the opposite direction. A court has ruled that delinquency applications cannot be brought derivatively (in the company's name), but must be brought by a single shareholder, in the shareholder's name.
In my research, I have found that abuse could be controlled much more effectively if shareholders or directors could bring delinquency proceedings derivatively.
The advantage of derivative procedures is that they have a good faith requirement. The derivative proceeding does not mean that the application is brought by a group. It means that the application is brought in law by the company, and not by the individual shareholder or individual director.
This safeguard is missing when delinquency applications are brought by a director or shareholder in their own name. So frivolous or vexatious delinquency applications may not be screened out and must be fully litigated in court. This could take years to be finalised.
Even before a delinquency application is argued in court, it could affect the directors' reputation and also the company's share price, especially if the company is listed on a stock exchange.
For example, the share price of Old Mutual, the second-largest insurer in South Africa which is listed on various stock exchanges, has dropped drastically recently. This is partly due to publicity of the unprecedented move by the former CEO, Peter Moyo, to have all 14 non-executive directors on the board declared delinquent and thus banned from being directors.
The reason for Moyo's application is that he believes the board did not properly handle his termination of employment as the CEO of Old Mutual, in June 2019. Old Mutual has said that it dismissed Moyo because of a conflict of business interest.
The Companies Act makes no provision for the collective declaration of delinquency of an entire board, which has never been done. To succeed with this unusual application, Moyo must prove that there are valid grounds to declare every single board member delinquent, and that there is enough evidence to support these grounds.
In another case a disgruntled shareholder applied to declare delinquent four directors of Lewis Group, a public listed company. Arguments were made to the court that the shareholder was acting in bad faith, and that his application was vexatious and frivolous. The court agreed and found that the application had no merit. But, the bad publicity given to Lewis Group while the matter was pending had a negative effect on its share price.
Caution against abuse
These cases show the extent of the power conferred on one director or a single shareholder to bring delinquency proceedings against directors. It is important to guard against the abuse of delinquency applications, especially since the Companies Act has no safeguards to protect against such abuse. This remedy must be used responsibly and sensibly by those with the power to use it.

I moved to the United States from Great Britain in 2010. Since then I have worked in industries as diverse as hospitality, non-profit and finance. I have been focusing on IT project management for the last four years and currently, work as an information systems PM for an insurance agency. I realized project management was for me when I noticed how many projects I was organizing outside of my day job! I have helped to organize fundraisers and weekend-long events for over 200 people, not to mention several cross-country and international moves as a military spouse. Project management is one of those great skills that has applications in almost any situation.
Reading the A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) prior to your exam is daunting, but essential. Project Management Institute (PMI)® uses some very specific terminology in certain areas that can be key to understanding questions in the PMP® exam and answering them correctly. I combined a read-through of the PMBOK® Guide with a study guide and the PM PrepCast. The variety helped break things up a bit and gave me several different ways to understand the PMBOK® Guide material. For me a single read-through was sufficient, but others may prefer to go through it more than once.
- One week out, do a final mock exam. This will let you know which areas to focus on in the coming week. Don't try and do one the night before! You'll only stress yourself out.
- Don't over study. I did an hour max each evening the week prior, and concentrated on my focus areas from my last mock exam.
- Get plenty of sleep. Your brain needs rest. Four hours of concentration is a lot.
- The night before, make sure you have everything laid out that you need - two forms of ID, your confirmation number, etc. Know the route to the exam center and how long it will take you in traffic, then allow extra time on time of that.
- Breathe! If you find yourself panicking or tensing up, stop for a second and take a deep breath. It really does help - and besides, you've got this!

Japanese robot is excellent at mobile puzzler Puzzles & Dragons
By Will Fulton	 February 9, 2016
Just as with chess, checkers, and recently Go, machines have beaten us at another game of our own design: the hugely popular Japanese mobile game Puzzles & Dragons. This match-3 game with RPG elements has consistently been one of the top grossing apps of the last few years. Japanese YouTube user Junya Sakamoto built a robot that can play the game on a smart phone, with an attached laptop analyzing the best move to unleash a torrent of combos. (via Kotaku)
The rig doesn't appear to be purpose-built for playing mindless mobile games, of course. Another video uploaded by Sakamoto shows him operating the phone from sleep mode entirely with verbal commands. The video shows off a variety of apps: browsing websites, dictating text, dealing with alarms, asking for directions, etc. While perhaps an overwrought solution to hands-free phone use for an able-bodied person, this could be a real boon to someone who might not have the manual dexterity to operate a smartphone, but who still wants access to all the conveniences that it affords.
Puzzles & Dragons (2012) is available on iOS and Android for free, but features in-app purchases, which have added up to billions in revenue for developer GungHo. An article on Gamasutra about coercive monetization techniques in free-to-play games cited it as being particularly masterful at manipulating players into spending money. Accordingly, GungHo can't be particularly pleased at the notion of robots that can play the game with uncanny precision.

The 40 ''jump the shark'' moments from 40 popular classic TV shows
Perhaps the moment should be called "dancing with a gorilla" or "the Southern Sweathog."
September 20, 2017, 2:07PM By MeTV Staff
On September 20, 1977, the Fonz soared through the air on water skies. Right over a real, live shark.
This moment, the climax of Happy Days' three-part season five opener, "Hollywood," became a landmark in pop culture. Thanks to some bored college students, the term "jump the shark" came to define the moment when a beloved television show takes a drastic turn in quality. It could be a shift in tone, the departure of a core cast member, a romantic development, or the introduction of some cute kid.
Even the best of the best can sometimes struggle to come up with ideas. There's no shame. It happens to everyone. Hey, you trying writing scripts for 20 seasons of a Western. Honestly, we love a lot of these shows beyond these points. These series didn't necessarily get worse after these moments — just different.
To toast the 40th anniversary of Fonzie's feat, we tried to pinpoint the jump the shark moments in 40 highly rated TV shows, from the golden era up to 1990. Some of these are fan consensus, others are just our opinion. What do you think?
Gunsmoke The "were-elephant" episode, "Arizona Midnight."
The Andy Griffith Show Deputy Warren Ferguson replaces Barney Fife in "The Bazaar."

"I Love Lucy" jumped when the Ricardos and the Mertzes moved to Hollywood and the show became little more than Lucy fawning over the guest star of the week (appearing as him/herself).
"The Twilight Zone" jumped after Rod Serling and producer Buck Houghton left after the third season. Serling still hosted and wrote most of the episodes for the last two seasons, but his attention wasn't fully on it and he was no longer involved in production. It also went through a few more producers; the last one (William Froug for the last half of the last season) had no clue of Serling's original vision or what made a good TZ episode.

"Laverne & Shirley" jumped the shark when they moved to California. The show was unwatchable at that point. Shirley leaving was more a symptom than a disease. "Little House on the Prairie" jumped when Mary and Adam wed, had a child, opened their own school, then lost everything in a fire caused by Mary's adopted brother. (Sorry, but I am a HUGE Laura Ingalls Wilder fan, and this episode made me so freakin' mad! There's "dramatic license" and then there's this travesty.)

Sometimes When We Touch


William Newsom did not live to see his son become the 40th governor of California, but he did see him win election. Gavin Newsom will assume the office once held by Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, who started his political career with assistance from William Newsom's father, also named William.
Pat Brown led California during a period of booming optimism. Under his watch, California's population expanded while the state invested in critical infrastructure such as the University of California and the California Aqueduct. He also kick-started the political career of a young San Franciscan named Dianne Emiel Goldman, appointing her to the Women's Parole Board in 1960. We know her today as Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Eight years after Pat Brown left office – ousted by Republican upstart Ronald Reagan – Brown Jr. reclaimed the mantle. Jerry Brown, intrigued by his fellow St. Ignatius High School alum's interest in environmental law, appointed William Newsom to the Placer County Superior Court in 1975.
Newsom's quotes in his San Francisco Chronicle obituary demonstrate a refreshing candor wrapped in sharp Irish wit.
William Newsom ran for office in 1968, losing his race for a seat in the California state senate where his son would serve as president four decades later.
As a judge, he ruffled feathers in 1978 by calling for the decriminalization of narcotics. His son has also challenged societal conventions before most politicians believe the time is right. Marriage equality is a reality today largely because Mayor Gavin Newsom fought an unjust law.
Importantly, the elder Newsom provided his son with a connection to the Getty family of San Francisco. They gave young Newsom a start in business and, later, supported his campaigns. Many of his political opponents have tried, and failed, to use this relationship to stop his political rise. After all, making connections to advance your children is a well-worn trope in the American story.
William Newsom exits the stage as his son rises to lead the 5th largest economy in the world and the Browns ascend into history. Governor Newsom will lead California as we face an uncertain future brimming with both opportunity and danger.
And so while a long life now ends, the story just begins.

Vandalism reported at St. Marys Airport
Thousands of dollars' worth of runway lights smashed
ST. MARYS, Ga. – Police in St. Marys, Ga. are looking for whoever got onto St. Marys Airport property and smashed thousands of dollars' worth of runway lights.
The broken glass also damaged a plane. Now, no one can fly in and out of the airport at night, and taxpayers are left with the repair bill.
The Federal Aviation Authority has shut down all non-military air traffic after dark because someone smashed the runway marker lights.
Jay Stanford heads the airport authority. He said 21 of the lights were ruined and the vandalism caused issues with the electrical system, too. He's guessing the damage will cost the city-run airport $12,000 to $15,000. That's nearly a quarter of the airport's operations funds.
Police are investigating but said there's no surveillance video and no description of who did this. The airport is also responsible for paying for the damage on the plane that landed and had a piece of glass go into its wing.
Stanford said it's just lucky it wasn't worse.
"It's a quarter-inch thick and pretty sharp, and it can cause some damage, like get into an engine, into a propeller, pop a tire," said Sanford. "At landing speeds, something fast like 100 knots, that can cause some problems."
David Webb's been running his airplane upholstery business here for nearly a decade. He said this is the first big problem he's ever heard about.
"I know that the police have been called from time to time for people on the runways," said Webb.
The airport authority said they're looking into getting the lights replaced. It will probably take about a month for them to be installed.
In the meantime, police are offering a $500 reward for information leading to an arrest of who did this.

Sold on Craigslist: Critics say sex ad crackdown inadequate
Editor's note: Watch an update on the investigation into Craigslist's adult services section on AC360 tonight at 10 p.m. ET.
Steve Turnham and Amber Lyon
CNN Special Investigations Unit
On a late afternoon in early June, undercover police officers circled a one-story highway motel north of Washington. Inside was a 12-year-old girl who told her mother she was being forced to work as a prostitute.
According to her mother, the girl had started running away from home earlier this year. She found out her daughter was in the sex trade when she saw her in an adult online classified ad. The girl was advertising herself as a 24-year-old with a bogus name. The next time she ran away, her mother reported her missing.
Read the police press release
According to police and anti-trafficking advocates, the internet has now become the preferred way to sell women for sex. It's fast and convenient for the pimps and relatively safe for the men who pay for sex. Instead of trolling the streets, they can now look through hundreds of girls from the safety of their homes or hotels.
This time, the girl was lucky. She called home, and the call was traced to a Knight's Inn in Laurel, Maryland, where police were quickly on the scene. They rescued the girl and arrested a 42-year-old man and charged him with human trafficking.
Of all the sites that offer "adult services," Craigslist is one of the most popular. The online classified ad site is used regularly by about 50 million Americans for everything from buying used lawn furniture to finding a job or a roommate.
It's also used to sell sex, making Craigslist a prime target of a nationwide campaign against internet prostitution.
"Most of the young women we've worked with who have been exploited online talk about Craigslist," said Andrea Powell of the anti-trafficking group The FAIR Fund. "Craigslist is like the Wal-Mart of online sex trafficking right now in this country."
According to police who investigated the case of the missing 12-year-old, she had previously advertised on Craigslist under a false name and age. Craigslist declined to provide copies of the ad, citing privacy concerns.
Craigslist founder Craig Newmark defended his site, saying it is doing more than any other site that hosts adult ads to help filter out underage prostitutes and report them to police.

You want earmarks? Here ya go!
Steve Turnham
CNN Producer
Hard on the heels of President Barack Obama's fiscal responsibility summit, the House Appropriations Committee posted the text of all those spending bills for this year that Congress failed to pass last year, and they're jam packed with thousands of earmarks worth billions of dollars.
The overall cost of the FY 2009 Omnibus Spending Act tops $400 billion, but it'll take some time before we know how much of that has been set aside by members for their pet projects.
A preliminary run through the earmark requests reveals some familiar pork projects: countless bike paths, downtown improvement projects, and museums. Democrats get the lion's share according to the old tradition of the party in power taking 60% of the earmarks.

Why I'm not a guest booker
AC360°'s Gary Tuchman interviews Kanye West at the inaugural Youth Ball on Tuesday night in Washington, D.C.
AC360° Producer
The first rule of booking guests for television: when you land a good guest in a competitive environment, stick to them like glue.
After a series of confusing text messages and an even more confusing phone call (the music was LOUD), I thought I'd landed Kid Rock for Gary Tuchman at Tuesday's MTV ball.
Dude, imagine my irritation when after fighting back through the star-struck crowd I saw Mr. Rock, or whatever you call him, mic'd up for a rival network just feet from Gary.
Sneaky rats snagged my guest.
First rule of producing, if you can't get it done, find someone who can. So I sent Gary to smooth talk him into doing us next. Rock's response: "I thought that was CNN."
Then he left.
Redemption came in the svelte form of Kanye West, the night's top draw. We got him first at ten minutes to midnight.
And by "we" I mean Gary, who simply walked up to Kanye, and stuck to him like glue.

The new bailout – a sweeter deal
[cnn-photo-caption image=
http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/10/02/art.whitehouse.jpg%5D
The bailout legislation passed by Congress today added $100 billion in tax breaks to the Wall Street rescue bill, the so-called "sweeteners." The presumption was all that extra cash would tempt House members who voted against the first version to switch and pass the new version, and it did. But there was more to it than that.
The tax breaks were actually part of a prior bill that had support in the Senate, but was hung up in the House because budget hawks were insisting it be paid for without extra deficit spending.
In attaching the measure, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid basically dared the House to accept the tax breaks, or take the blame for bringing down the economic rescue package. It's a classic power play, and one that angered some House members.
Why would Senator Reid risk the economic rescue package by muddying it up with giveaways? The devil is in the details: the measure would give money to states with a lot of federal land - which doesn't bring states any tax dollars - to pay for schools and government. It also would allow people in states without income taxes to deduct what they pay in sales taxes from their federal taxes.
Reid's home state of Nevada will benefit from both – big time. It has a lot of federal land. It has no state income tax. Reid runs the Senate. Reid is up for reelection in 2010.
Some House members will benefit from the added $100 billion benefit; some are angry about it. And some fit both categories.
"I hate this like poison," conservative Democrat Shelley Berkeley told the Las Vegas Sun, "but I think relief is necessary." Berkeley is from Nevada.

Read the Fine Print
AC360 producer
If you want to know whether a bailout deal is possible, watch this space: www.house.gov/hensarling/rsc/.
That's the URL for the House Republican Study Group, a group of 100 conservative House members leading the resistance to the Bush bailout. If they're not on board, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is unlikely to push a bailout through, even if she can muster enough democratic and moderate republican votes. After all, why give 100 House republicans a potent anti-Wall Street message to go home and beat you up over?
House conservatives are willing to do a deal, but only if it does not involve the actual government purchase of bad debt. Their spiritual leader, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, put out what at first glance seemed to be a ringing endorsement of John McCain's bailout plan bailout effort Wednedsay.
Gingrich called McCain's move "the greatest single act of responsibility ever taken by a presidential candidate and rivals President Eisenhower saying, 'I will go to Korea.'" But read the fine print, because there were some big IFs. IF, wrote Gingrich, the bill includes an economic growth component (tax cuts?), and energy solution (drilling?), and a "work-out" not a bail out for the financial sector.
The first two are killers: democrats are not going to ram through a package that gives the GOP what it wants just to get a bill passed. And what does a "work out" mean? Well we know what it doesn't mean; it doesn't mean the US government lifting the burden of bad decisions off of Wall Street and putting it onto the taxpayer, even if the White House says the taxpayer could actually profit in the long run.
As Hensarling himself put it Wednesday:
"I can put a gun to my neighbors head, take his college fund for his children, lace a bet on a roulette table in Las Vegas, and maybe, maybe, I'll triple his money. But ... that is not a risk that my neighbor voluntarily undertook. This is not a risk that the taxpayer wishes to voluntarily undertake."

Leave the live shot rolling and duck behind a wall
We are devoting many posts today to the anniversary of 9/11, with first-hand accounts, insight, and commentary dedicated to that day seven years ago that changed our world.
An airplane flies overhead toward Washington's Ronald Reagan National Airport as members of a Military honor guard stand at attention for the unveiling of the benches at the Pentagon Memorial, Thursday, Sept. 11,2008
On 9/11 I was the Senate producer for CNN. By the time I got to work the House and Senate had already been evacuated. I ended up on the roof of the CNN bureau, with a veteran cameraman, pointing the lens at the sky, waiting for a plane to come barreling down the Mall and into the US Capitol.
By then the Pentagon had already been hit, and there was smoke drifting across the city. But no one was quite sure yet what had happened. Rumors were flying that a plane was heading into DC, to the White House maybe, or the Capitol. As it turned out that plane was the one that crashed in Pennsylvania, but in those early hours, nothing was certain.
Another network reported as fact that a plane was flying down the Potomac River towards us (CNN did not report this). We tried to get ready for anything. What if it hit the Capitol and the explosion reached us a quarter mile away? What if it missed, and hit closer to us? We decided if we did see a plane, we'd shoot as long as possible, then leave the live shot rolling, and duck behind a wall.

a short (for me) thought on that Jordon Peterson interview
it's been popular enough with a stratum of some of the blogs and journalism I read that I'll get around to some thoughts about it but ...
my initial thought about the simultaneously combative and vapid interview is that all Jordon Peterson seems to have done is figured out how to make an upscale tweedy presentation of the basic ideas that Mark Driscoll formulated in his William Wallace II rant "Pussified Nation". The Peterson version has more scholastic dignity in its aura, I suppose, but the gist of the ideas, to the extent that I could describe them as ideas, are basically the same as Mark Driscoll in "Pussified Nation" mode. For that matter it's the same shtick Driscoll's selling now, reformulated as trying to address a "father wound".
It might be worth noting that twenty years ago when Driscoll was interviewed for a Mother Jones piece his take on things was that a generation of fathers sold out to the American Dream at the expense of the children they were raising and the marriages they were ostensibly cultivating. Driscoll and the co-founders of Mars Hill said they were setting out to live out and promulgate a different example, one in which individualism a the expense of community could be explored.
Back in 2006 when Confessions of a Reformission Rev was published Driscoll was still willing to propose an idea, that Christendom was over and that it was good that it was over. This meant people either had to genuinely embrace what biblically informed Christian life and discipline was or admit they wanted to capitulate to the surrounding culture. It was back during that period that all sorts of signs were about that Driscoll had empire-building in mind but to try to describe what those of us who were still at least tentatively on board understand Driscoll to be saying, what I understood his aims to be, it was that Christendom had ended and that there was not only no point in Christians in America attempting to revive or revitalize Christendom as it was conventionally understood, but that to do so was to capitulate to an empire-building mentality that would end in moralizing legalism and nominalism.
And ... six years later it seemed that was what Driscoll hoped to get back in A Call to Resurgence, the kind of Christendom that a mere six or ten years prior he had regarded as rightfully ended. Some of us with enough Native American lineage to have heard a few tales from Native American Christians about just how brutal a lot of so-called Christendom was can't feel bad for the loss of a Christendom that is, not without cause, conflated with Manifest Destiny and colonial expansion.
If evangelicals and socially conservatigve Christians fall for the PEterson shtick having felt that Mark Driscoll went off the rails then my hunch is that they want this Social Gospel for Worthy Alpha Males more than they want the Gospel. I'm sure guys will come up with dignified ways of saying, no, these two things are ommensurate if you really understand Natural Law and so on ... but after a couple of decades of seeing what the long-term influence of the man shtick has been within the culture of Mars Hill I just don't see that Peterson is coming up with anything the least bit new, and it's not like he's necessarily saying it's new.
The mere fact that an adversarial and incompetent journalist was made to look like an idiot by Peterson on air doesn't really say anything in favor of Peterson's ideas. It's possible to watch that interview and regard both parties as selling something I don't think people should buy. An archetype can still be a stereotype and a stereotype may be useful as a heuristic tool but surely at this point we have at least some appreciation of the real limits of heuristic shortcuts.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
That will probably suffice for a weekend musing for now.

Having seen him lionised elsewhere a year or so ago, I read and listened to a number of his talks/interviews before coming to much the same conclusion.
That conservative Christians fall for it is perhaps more indicative of a movement that once contained people who fell for the CREC and Doug Wilson - maybe they are just serial bad judges of character, at least when it comes to people saying what they want to hear.
I read his latest book and it was both 'good and original' but only in the sense that Samuel Johnson meant. It seemed that the 'good bits' were mainly self-care for those who feel that 'self-care is for pussies'.
I discovered your blog years ago when I was trying to figure out Mark Driscoll and the cult of personality surrounding him. I saw the warning signs and wanted to know if I was alone. Turns out, you were already there doing great work.
But I must say.....you're beginning to resemble the old adage "when all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail". All you appear to have is your Driscoll obsession and you use that to bash everyone and everything whenever your spidey-sense begins tingling.
You did great work on Driscoll. I too wish he wasn't pastoring again. But sheeesh. If you want to engage Peterson then engage him on his own merits, not by poisoning the well by comparing him to Driscoll.
Wenatchee the Hatchet said...
this post is by way of a prelude, because I don't think the problem, in the end, is really someone like Peterson but the socially conservative Anglo-American Christian scene and its set of responses to Peterson. Peterson couldn't help being a healthier variant of a set of ideas Driscoll has also promoted at some level, but one of the regular objections I've raised about the "man up" spiel in general is that it works great for people whose upward mobility is presupposed. Salient to Peterson's specific rebuttal to the lazy British journalist, what you want in a partner presupposes you have any business pursuing a partner. That's actually one of the points I have contested over the years, the assumption that being paired off is necessarily a sign of having attained emotionally, socially and economically healthy adulthood. By no means is it a bad thing if you attain it, there are proverbs about that being a good thing in Proverbs. But since the 2008 recession and its "mancession" impact I've been concerned that a lot of advice to a lot of men ends up being bootstrapping. Any number of men and women pursued marriage in the zeitgeist of the Mars Hill scene whose marriages have collapsed since Mars Hill collapsed.
Even if Peterson presents the best version of the talking points the way these talking points tend to be lionized within Anglo-American evangelicalism post 2008 seems like it's not really facing down economic reality.
But this post is more of a passing introduction to some of those ideas, depending on when I have them sufficiently together enough to post something about them.
The Friedersdorf piece on how incompetent and adversarial the interview with PEterson was was one of my favorite thinkpieces on the thing. The reporter brought the vapid and adversarial to the situation. Peterson never really got to even start saying what he seemed to want to say.

Last Friday, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced plans to increase guarantee fees (g-fees) on loans sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Banks and lenders pay Fannie and Freddie so-called "g-fees" in exchange for purchasing their loans and bundling them into mortgage-backed securities, which are then sold to investors on the secondary market.
The pair also assume the risk if the loans in the underlying securities default, which has certainly been an issue since the mortgage crisis reared its ugly head.
Since then, g-fees have inched higher and higher to account for risks not seen in years past when home price appreciation masked the impending danger.
Currently, it is estimated that Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee about 60 percent of residential mortgages, meaning there's a good chance they own yours.
And their share has certainly increased even more as a result of the credit crunch, which pushed many private players out of the secondary market.
The FHFA has now directed Fannie and Freddie to raise g-fees on single-family mortgages by an average of 10 basis points (0.10%).
This comes on the heels of an increase back in April, which was implemented to fund the payroll tax cut extension.
The increases will be effective with commitments starting November 1, 2012 for loans sold for cash, and December 1, 2012 for loans exchanged for mortgage-backed securities (MBS).
The average g-fee charged by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac increased to 28 basis points in 2011 from 26 basis points in 2010, according to a new annual report required by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.
FHFA Acting Director Edward J. DeMarco said the move is intended to lure more private capital into the mortgage market, which is largely government-supported at the moment.
He believes the increase will move the pair's pricing closer to a level one would expect if mortgage credit risk were privately capitalized.
The hope is to get the government out of housing, or at least minimize its enormous role.
The big question is whether the higher fees will actually be felt by consumers. At the moment, mortgage rates are pretty much at their lowest levels ever.
And because the Fed keeps buying mortgage securities, rates have inched lower and lower.
So any increase related to the g-fees may actually be absorbed by the Fed. If rates do increase, one would expect something minimal, such as a rate of 3.625% instead of 3.5% on a 30-year fixed mortgage.
It's not to say it's an incidental increase, as that can equate to thousands over the life of the loan term, but all things considered, mortgage rates are already highly subsidized by the government.
Speaking of, the new fees are also intended to reduce cross-subsidies between higher-risk and lower-risk mortgages by increasing the fee more on loans with terms longer than 15 years.
Put simply, 15-year fixed mortgages are less likely to default, and thus should come with lower guarantee fees.
The move is also intended to make g-fees more uniform for both lenders who deliver large loan volumes and those that originate smaller volumes.
At the moment, the bulk of loans sold to Fannie and Freddie come from a small number of large lenders.
Mortgage Rates Based on State?
The FHFA also left a cliffhanger at the end of their press release, noting that it was developing risk-based pricing at the state level.
In other words, mortgages may be priced differently based on where they are originated.
So a New York mortgage may cost more than a California loan, or vice versa, depending on the costs.
For example, in states where foreclosure processes are more expensive, such as in judicial states, the g-fees may be higher.
But again, consumers may not even notice the difference in price because there are so many other factors that affect mortgage rates. Still, it's a rather interesting development.
It looks as if the future of mortgage lending may mirror insurance pricing, which is very heavily data-driven, meaning more and more factors may eventually determine the interest rate you ultimately receive.
Update: Five states have been singled out by the FHFA, including Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York, thanks to their higher-than-average default-related costs.
So mortgages originated in these states could be imposed a 15 to 30 basis point upfront fee, charged to lenders, and likely passed on to the consumer.
