The Zionist slanders and attempts to impoverish Marc Lamont Hill must be answered by massive, determined action by everyone concerned with democracy.
"To equate a loss of domination (as a result of universal suffrage) with 'genocide' echoes the claims that demographic changes in the United States amount to 'white genocide.'"
As Marc Lamont Hill delivered his widely discussed speech at the United Nations on November 28, in which he expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people and emphasized the need to protect the human rights and self-determination of all who lived "from the river to the sea," he probably expected some critical response. What he likely didn't expect was to be fired from his position as a CNN commentator, and to have his job as a professor at Temple University threatened.
Pro-Israel partisans and commentators took to opinion columns and Twitter to decry Hill's comments. Gideon Levy described the backlash in Haaretz (12/2/18):
"Seth Mandel, editor of the Washington Examiner, accused Hill of having called for Jewish genocide; Ben Shapiro, an analyst on Fox News, called it an antisemitic speech…. The Anti-Defamation League said [his remarks] were tantamount to calling for Israel to be wiped off the map."
Writing in Forward, a Jewish paper that often features a livelier discussion of Israel/Palestine than is found in mainstream media, Bentley Addison (11/30/18) implied that Hill's words were disavowing the right of Jewish people to live in the region, advising activists for Palestinian rights:
"Don't speak like Marc Lamont Hill. Respect and understand the right of Jews to live in this region…. You must recognize that Jewish culture and peoplehood stem from this land, and we've been living there in some capacity continuously for thousands of years."
In the wake of these denunciations, CNN (where Hill was a frequent contributor) decided to sever all ties with the activist and academic. Temple University, where Hill works as a professor of media studies and urban education, is reportedly considering firing him as well.
Many, including Hill himself, have pointed out that this backlash is misguided and at its worst cynically misleading. On Twitter, he insisted that his own position was in favor of a "return to the pre-1967 borders," a position which would require the state of Israel's existence, as well as that of a state of Palestine. In his speech, he noted several times that his concern was that "Israel is not a state of all of its citizens."
"The position that all people who live in a country deserve democratic rights should not be controversial."
Much of the criticism centered on Hill's use of the phrase "from the river to the sea"—meaning the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea—alleging that slogan is unique to Hamas and antisemites. However, as Maha Nassar noted in the Forward (12/3/18), when Palestinians first adopted the phrase in the 1960s, "it was part of a larger call to see a secular democratic state established in all of historic Palestine." Similar phrasing has also been used by Israeli Jews, as in Likud's founding charter in 1977: "Between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty" (Slate, 11/30/18).
It is also grossly disingenuous to imply—as the Washington Examiner's Mandel did—that expressing support for a binational, one-state solution in Israel/Palestine, with equal rights and guaranteed suffrage for Jews, Muslims, Christians and all other religions alike, would be a call for "genocide" of the Jewish people. As Nassar put it in the Forward:
"The belief that a "free Palestine" would necessarily lead to the mass annihilation of Jewish Israelis is rooted in deeply racist and Islamophobic assumptions about who the Palestinians are and what they want."
The same claim that democratic rule would lead to a bloodbath was repeatedly asserted by apartheid South Africa, and was belied by the peaceful transfer of power to the African National Congress.
The position that all people who live in a country deserve democratic rights should not be controversial.Rather, it's the assertion that some people should be denied citizenship in order to preserve the political dominance of a particular ethnic or religious group that should be held up to scrutiny.
To equate a loss of domination (as a result of universal suffrage) with "genocide" echoes the claims that demographic changes in the United States amount to "white genocide." As FAIR has recently pointed out (11/29/18), the obsession with "demographic replacement" is a mainstay of US white supremacists. Perhaps it should not be surprising that figures in the Israeli right and the antisemitic US far-right seem remarkably friendly at times—alt-right leader Richard Spencer, for example, has often described Israel as his model for a white ethnostate (Haaretz, 10/21/17).
Though CNN and Hill's detractors have treated the ideas expressed in his speech as on the fringes, the professor does not stand alone. Newly elected member of congress Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) tweeted at the news organization, "we all have a right to speak up about injustice any and everywhere." Phyllis Bennis and Rev. William Barber penned a stirring defense in The Nation (12/9/18), declaring:
"Dr. Hill's comments were not antisemitic; they were anti-oppression, rooted in history and calling for a common humanity, grounded in the rights of all people, whether Palestinian or Jewish, African or European, black or Native American, Latinx or white."
At a time when the disenfranchisement of ethnic minorities is receiving attention as a longstanding problem in the United States, it is distressing to see a major news organization treating an assertion of the democratic rights of all people in Israel/Palestine as an intolerable stance. It is notable that while CNN fired Hill for his call for Palestinians to be allowed to vote, it has retained Rick Santorum, who has in the past denied that Palestinians even exist.
Marc Lamont Hill was fired for defending universal rights and self-determination. CNN should rehire him and allow his voice to once again be part of its debate.
Please tell CNN to rehire Marc Lamont Hill as a regular contributor.

You can also sign a petition calling for the reinstatement of Hill created by If Not Now, a Jewish peace group.

Q: How to exclude files from a created, but not completed pull request? Good afternoon!
A person created a pull request, but before creating it, he merged a branch from another, and changes of other files got into the branch, from where the pull request was created. How to remove these files from the created pull request so that after its execution the changes to them will not be applied?

A: You can revert the changes that A person merged from another branch.
Let's say you created a PR from A branch to B branch , But A person merged some unwanted changes to A from C branch. Now you donot want the changes from C branch be merged to B branch. You can run the git revert command to revert A branch to the state before merged C branch. See below example git commands:
git checkout A

#git log --oneline #find the commit hash of the merge with git log
#git revert -m 1 [commit-hash]

git revert -m 1 HEAD   #revert A branch to the before-merge state
git push #push A back to remote server

Then the A branch of the PR will updated and the unwanted changes for C branch will be removed. See Undoing Merges for more information.
Git revert command will keep the merge history, which will cause the changes in C branch not being able to merge back to A branch again. You can also check out this blog. If you want A branch go back to original state before merged C branch(remove the merge history), You can use the git reset and git push --force commands. See below example:
git checkout A
git reset --hard HEAD~
git push --force

Farouk, Farouk, Farouk is on fire
He don't need no water, just your vote in the Democratic primary. I had every intention of making fun of J. Xavier's hip-hop tribute detailing Farouk Shami's policies â??officially released by his campaign, mind you â?? but after listening to it I'd rather wipe a booger on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
We don't care who you vote for, but we strongly endorse this song. Any candidate willing to embrace Auto Tune technology's got our â?? um â?? attention I guess is the right word for it.
Official press release reprinted below. Somebody record a Rick Perry endorsing hip-hop song, stat.
In a last minute push to win supporters and motivate Texans to go to the polls tomorrow, Farouk Shami has publically released the song "Farouk" from prominent hip hop artist J. Xavier. The song outlines Farouk's new solutions for Texas, including creating jobs and reforming the education system so it looks out for all Texas children.
"I thank J. Xavier for his support and lending his amazing talents to our campaign," said Farouk Shami.

I recently had lunch with Joe, a former youth group member who had just graduated from college and was living at home again while trying to figure out what he was going to do next. We reminisced about old times, talked about his time in college, and he shared about some of the opportunities coming his way and how he was hoping a full-time job would be right around the corner. About three-quarters of the way through lunch, I turned the conversation to faith and church, wanting to know where he was with Jesus. As it turned out, he really hadn't been to church much at all in the four years he was away at college except when he was home and his mom invited him. He explained that he believed in God but also had some disagreements with Christian beliefs—and he was more concerned with having fun.
This was not the first conversation of this kind that I've had with former students, and it won't be the last. A lot has been said during the past few years about high school graduates walking away from the faith during their college years. It seems as if many youth workers are wrestling with how ineffective our programming is at helping teens keep their faith in college. Despite all the negativity this is drawing from so many in youth ministry, I have concluded that it's a good thing.

Why great companies fail
Clayton Christensen, who developed the seminal theory on disruptive technology, examines why companies fail and why theory trumps data. Plus: What's the future for HP and Charles Schwab?
Jan. 16, 2002 3:35 p.m. PT
The inspiration for Clayton M. Christensen's seminal theory on disruptive technology came from watching Digital Equipment's fall in 1988. How could the management team that had been rightfully lauded for its brilliance by every popular business publication have stumbled so badly?
As Digital's star fell, the business press blamed the ineptitude of the company's management. But Christensen observed that every other minicomputer company collapsed at the same time. Since no one colludes to fail, something more was at work. He concluded that the reason for the implosion of the minicomputer industry was not just the rise of the personal computer, but what the PC represented: a disruptive technology to which the minicomputer companies could not respond.
His theory of disruptive technology became the basis of "The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail" (Harvard Business School Press, 1997). Named the best business book of that year by the Financial Times/Booz Allen Hamilton Global Business Book Awards, its influence was all the more potent because it prescribed no new management rules or standard solutions, but instead confronted companies with Christensen's chilling vision of how the world works.
A company can do all the right things--listen to its customers, invest in research and development, compete aggressively--and yet fall victim to a new technology or business plan that seemed, at first, almost irrelevant.
Whether it was Digital and the PC, Sears Roebuck confronting Wal-Mart Stores, or the makers of cable-activated earth excavators encountering hydraulics, leading companies declined and sometimes died not because of competitors' advances, but because of new players with lower-quality solutions.
Conventional wisdom holds that as companies get big and successful, they become risk averse and avoid innovation. Christensen found this was not the case.
Large companies successfully embrace innovations that are what he calls sustaining technologies, which are often responsible for performance breakthroughs. He defines a sustaining technology as any innovation that enables an industry's leaders to do something better for their existing best customers. A disruptive technology, on the other hand, is a product or service that your best customers can't use and that has substantially lower profit margins than your business can support. Companies ignore disruptive technology innovations for perfectly rational reasons, but to their ultimate peril.
Businesses get blindsided because they focus on their best, most profitable customers and ignore other potential markets or customers seeking lower-cost products. This narrow view, Christensen says, ignores the fact that every market is characterized by three distinct change trajectories:
• Performance improvement that customers can readily use (that is, it matches their own changing needs).
• Technology advances driven by sustaining technological improvements.
• New performance introduced by a disruptive technology, which typically begins at a lower level of performance, but rapidly improves until it meets the majority of customers' needs.
It is the tendency of all successful companies to match their performance to their most demanding customers, exceeding the needs of most of their customers, which creates an opening for disruptive technologies, he says.
A successful entrepreneur before returning to Harvard Business School in his early 40s, Christensen co-founded the Ceramics Process Systems Corporation, a manufacturer of products made from injection-molded powdered metals, high-performance ceramics, and ceramic-metal composites.
He bases his theory on a rigorous observation of business phenomena, a meticulous classification of the conditions that affect those phenomena, and an endless cycle of testing the theory against the observations. Too many business theorists, he says, indulge in what he calls academic malpractice, propounding theories and selecting cases to support those theories without ever subjecting them to the rigors of the real world.
Christensen delivers his message with a dry wit that would be disarming were the message itself not so devastating. He emphasizes that understanding disruptive technologies is a highly valuable way for managers to frame how the world works and to create consistently innovative businesses. Companies that align their processes and values with the actions of innovators need not repeat the past and can, indeed, seize wave after wave of new opportunities. And despite their power to bring down great companies, disruptive technologies serve the greater good, Christensen believes, noting that although established companies may suffer, customers usually benefit, as does humanity, in the broader context.
Q: Let's start way back, by talking about your observation of Digital Equipment in the late '80s. What was remarkable at the time was the speed with which it went from being on top of the world to being a disaster. How did you take a situation that seemed so extraordinary and extrapolate a more general rule for what happens to companies?
A: I didn't know the answer at the beginning. But in my first career I had founded my own company, with a group of MIT professors, before coming to Harvard to finish my doctorate, and so I had a deep respect for the brains, talent and dedication of managers. That made it hard for me to believe the attributions in the business press that stupid management was to blame. So I looked elsewhere for an explanation.
You went looking for an explanation for Digital's rapid fall from grace and came up with a theory that appears to apply equally well to disk drives, excavation equipment and consumer retail. How did you go about it?
Let me go back, if you wouldn't mind, and give you a "theory of how theory is built."
In the first stage of insight-building, all that researchers can do is observe phenomena. Second, they classify the phenomena in a way that helps them simplify the apparent complexities of the world so they can ignore the meaningless differences and draw connections between the things that really seem to matter. Third, based on the classification system, they propose a theory. The theory is a statement of what causes what and why, and under what circumstances.
Next, they use the theory to go back and say, "Now if this theory is right, when I go back into the world and look at more phenomena, under this particular circumstance, this is what I ought to see, and under that circumstance, that is what I ought to see."
If the theory accurately predicts what they see, it confirms that it's a good theory. If they see something that the theory didn't lead them to believe, that's what Thomas Kuhn calls an anomaly. The anomaly requires a revised theory--and you just keep going through the cycle, making a better theory. Ultimately, when you come up with a classification scheme that is collectively exhaustive and mutually exclusive, then the theory can become what Kuhn called a paradigm.
In the study of management, unfortunately, many writers have been so anxious to articulate a theory in the form of, "If you do this, this will result," that they never go through this careful effort.
You mean they don't take the time to observe the phenomena and derive a classification.
Right. Often they have a point of view based upon intuition and experience. They then offer a cadence of two-paragraph examples carefully selected to "prove" their theory, and then they write "one size fits all" books. The message is, "If you'd do what these companies did, you'd be successful too."
One reason there are so many short-lived management fads is that their prescriptions were derived and advocated in precisely this way. So managers read about a fad and try it, find that it doesn't work, abandon the effort, and move on to the next thing. In reality, it is usually the case that the faddish prescription was indeed sound advice in certain circumstances, but actually was poor advice in other circumstances.
Year after year, people write books about managing innovation or about leadership, for example, without ever going through the pain of saying, "This kind of leadership will cause this result in these circumstances and a very different result in those circumstances." This is academic malpractice of the worst kind. I've concluded that getting the categories right is an absolutely crucial step to building useful management theory, and unfortunately too few writers do this. You've got to engage in serious scholarship and then figure out how to write it in a way that lots of people can understand.
I was lucky enough to build on the work of a number of people who had already run laps around this theory-building track. The original classification scheme, years ago, distinguished radical from incremental change. The theory said that established firms managed incremental change well but would be expected to founder when their industry encountered a radical change.
Then Rebecca Henderson, who teaches at MIT, studied the photolithographic aligner industry, where the leader had failed in each of three product generations. She observed that when the architecture of the product changed, the leaders failed. As long as the technological changes involved were at the component level rather than the architecture level, the leaders did fine.
She proposed a classification scheme and theory that asserted, "In modular change, the leader will succeed. But in architectural change, the leader will fail, because organizations are structured and people have learned to interact in patterns defined by the product architecture." This is a simplification of her profound work.
From that theory you progressed to your concept of disruptive vs. sustaining innovations?
Right. So I used Rebecca's theory and studied the disk-drive industry to see if her theory held up in another circumstance. If you want to make better theory, you've got to use the best that's available and look through the lens of another discipline to see if you can uncover more anomalies. By looking at the phenomena of failure from the perspective of sales, marketing, finance, general management and the equity markets, I was able to see things that Rebecca hadn't. I owe her a huge debt.
When I was writing my doctoral thesis about disk drives, I could see that this related to the computer industry and Digital Equipment's demise. But it wasn't yet clear how robust this classification scheme of disruptive vs. sustaining was for other industries.

Start deriving the primary reason for all these pollutions and learn the ways to get solution to avoid this.
The first term to this problem is cars, because the numbers of cars have been keeping on increased in recent days and this has been the core reason for pollution. All cars that run into our town are not all in good condition, hence, we cannot assure that they run cleaner and get better millage. However, most of cars we found on traffic are still very old and run in poor condition. Hence the owner should make a concern and has to change according to this. The first option you can go with this is servicing the car and the next option you can avail is changing your car.
Did you felt that changing to new car is not possible economically; I do also have another best option. It is nothing but opting used cars.

Two New Characters Revealed in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
2020 is the year of Animal Crossing, and to kick off the new year, a new TV commercial for the game has been released. This commercial shows off some new gameplay, the box art, and some official artwork, which shows off Isabelle, and two new characters.
The artwork shows off two new characters, one being what looks like a sea lion or beaver, and the other being a dodo, who we assume will be running the newly added Dodo Airlines. Interestingly, the new sea lion/beaver character is sporting Chip's signature fishing box... Maybe Chip has moved on up in the world and will be tackling bigger and better things, or maybe this is a new relative of Chip... Only time will tell.
We have also taken three stills of the short gameplay clips shown in the commercial.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Information Round Up (September 4th Nintendo Direct)
It's been just under 3 months since we last saw any gameplay of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and a lot has changed! Read below for the latest information on Animal Crossing: New Horizons!
The latest Nintendo Direct gave us a decent 5 minute look at New Horizons. Of course, it was nowhere near as long as what we got during E3, but there's still a lot we have learned from the latest trailer. Here's all the information we gathered from the latest Nintendo Direct:
- Dodo Airlines is the name given to the previously unseen and unnamed airport during E3 - New flowers that resemble poppies are shown. They were shown to come in red and white variations - Villager speech bubbles have received a slight redesign - Two new NookPhone apps were shown off. One appears to be a "my design" app, the other is symbolized by a book with a human face on it, which could possibly be a "friends list"
- Your NookPhone can be customized with phone cases - Fruit is required to be eate…

Welcome to Boston Children's Hospital. For more than 140 years, we've been a worldwide leader in pediatric care and the treatment of complex diseases and conditions. Our internationally renowned team of physicians and nurses schedules more than 500,000 patient visits and performs more than 25,000 surgical procedures each year, making us one of the largest pediatric medical centers in the world. Thanks to our excellent patient outcomes and quality of care, we have repeatedly been named the top children's hospital in the United States.
Research and innovation are built into everything we do. We employ more researchers than any other pediatric hospital in the world and are affiliated with Harvard Medical School, giving our patients unparalleled access to the latest science and technology. Every child who comes through our doors is assured of receiving personalized care and state-of-the-art treatment.
Children and teenagers aren't just small adults. Their bodies and minds are still growing, and they need specialized care — both physical and emotional — that's as unique as they are. That's why our work doesn't end in the doctor's office or operating room. Our friendly and experienced support staff is here to help you and your child at every step of the way, from communicating with referring physicians and insurance companies to making sure you feel at home during your stay in Boston. We take care of the details, big and small, so you can focus on helping your child get well.
We were named the number-one overall pediatric hospital in the United States by U.S. News & World Report, the nation's leading publisher of hospital rankings. In addition, we received more top honors for our clinical specialties than any other children's hospital.
In addition, in 2013, we were named a "Top Hospital" by the Leapfrog Group, a national consortium of large corporations and public agencies that evaluates hospitals based on quality, safety, and efficiency.
The first surgery to correct a congenital heart defect. The first remission of acute leukemia. The first cloning of stem cells from the human nervous system. We've been at the forefront of pediatric medicine since the nineteenth century, and our 200-plus specialized clinical programs continue to lead the way, pioneering advanced treatments — such as minimally invasive surgical procedures — for conditions ranging from brain tumors to birth defects.
We're home to the world's largest research enterprise based at a children's hospital. Our research community includes more than 1,100 scientists and dozens of laboratories and attracts more annual funding than any other pediatric facility in the United States.
We have a long tradition of translating groundbreaking research into advances in care. Our physicians are currently leading or collaborating in hundreds of clinical trials for heart disease, cancer, blood disorders, neurological impairments, bone and joint conditions, organ transplants, and more. (View a list of open clinical trials by condition at clinicaltrials.gov.) We can offer your child experimental treatments that are available nowhere else.
As a leading destination for pediatric care, we've made it our mission to anticipate and satisfy the unique needs of patients and families from every corner of the globe. We offer innovative, world-class treatment for rare and complex conditions — and, just as important, we offer world-class service. The team of experts in our International Center is dedicated exclusively to supporting your family and making your experience as smooth and worry-free as possible, both inside and outside the hospital. We don't just take care of your child; we take care of everything.
Our attentive, multilingual staff is here to answer all of your questions and arrange all the details of your visit. We provide comprehensive support services — including help with visas, travel arrangements, housing, translation, and more — and we assign your family a personal case coordinator. When you arrive in Boston, your coordinator will be at your side and will serve as your guide to the hospital, providing expert insight and assistance at every stage of your child's care, from the initial consultation to diagnosis, treatment, and planning for the return home.

All that criminalization of prostitution does is make people afraid.
– Tara Burns
Droit du Seigneur
Though pimps are pretty rare, a disproportionate number of the ones who do exist are cops: "[An] Oklahoma City [cop]…was arrested…on multiple complaints, including aiding in prostitution. Lt. Alex Edwards…was [also charged with a bunch of vague 'crimes' used by prosecutors to stack penalties]…"
Pyrrhic Victory
When they smash down your door in the middle of the night, murder your dogs, terrorize your family and embroil you in a decade-long court battle which will utterly bankrupt you because some computer decided you look like somebody who supposedly broke some law, don't say I didn't warn you:
Half of American adults are in a face-recognition database, according to a Georgetown University study…"The Perpetual Line-up: Unregulated Police Face Recognition in America" shows that one-fourth of the nation's law enforcement agencies have access to face-recognition databases, and their use…is virtually unregulated…Alvaro Bedoya…co-author of the study [said] "By [scanning]…the faces on 26 states' driver's license and ID photos, police and the FBI have basically enrolled half of all adults in a massive virtual line-up. This has never been done for fingerprints or DNA"…researchers obtained documents stating that at least five "major police departments," including those in Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles, "either claimed to run real-time face recognition off of street cameras, bought technology that can do so, or expressed an interest in buying it"…
Spotlight (#47)
I wonder if Asstoon will ever get professional help for his delusions of grandeur?
Ashton Kutcher [made grandiose and unsubstantiated claims]…about how Thorn, an organization founded by himself and ex-wife Demi Moore, has been working to combat human trafficking…Kutcher [fantasized] that his organization had saved more than 6,000 victims from human trafficking in 2016, identifying more 2,000 trafficker in the process…An additional online menace that Thorn intends to combat…was online pornography…"I'm going to eliminate child pornography from the internet."
Imagine a reporter neither expressing skepticism of nor demanding proof from a person who claimed to have saved 6000 rape victims and vowed that his next super-deed would be to eliminate every opium poppy in Asia.
Pearls Firmly Clutched
Using Suzy Favor Hamilton's story without her input is pretty sleazy even for an anti-whore sleazefest like Law and Order:
…an…episode on Law & Order SVU…revolved around a female Olympic Pole Vaulter who had been sexually assaulted while secretly escorting…They flash in the intro, "The following story is fictional and does not depict any actual person, entity or event." Well that's kinda laughable because with the exception of the sexual assault and a couple minor modifications, it's pretty much me out there. Olympian? Check. Track & Field athlete? Check. Married? Check. Mom? Check. Secretly escorting? Check. Bipolar? Check…It's strange to me that a show like this…can rip off a story so blatantly. I don't pretend to know the ins and outs of how all this works, but what I do know it that as I watched, it felt a little icky and sneaky. Like someone had broken into my life uninvited…
Torture Chamber
Americans keep pretending to be shocked by this, then support sending more people to prison:
A former inmate of a Louisiana private prison is suing the company that runs the prison after two guards [orally raped] him [on several occasions]…Aaron Franklin…was abused by Derrick Deshotel and Tyler Strothers…at the Allen Correctional Center…An investigation by the prison substantiated his allegations…The guards were fired…and criminally charged…[but] received only probation…
O, Canada! (All Traffick, All the Time)
Canadian cops are trying to intimidate sex workers again:
Holed up in a hotel room close to Calgary's airport, a handful of [pigs]…dig through piles of online escort ads as they prep for Day Two of Operation Northern Spotlight…they make calls to unsuspecting sex workers and [lie to them to] set up "dates"…they hope to [intimidate them] to leave the world's oldest profession…The women all react differently to the initial contact with the detective. Some are hostile, as they realize the [cops have robbed them of hundreds of dollars of their time]…
Sex workers, our clients, our associates and our families were once again subjected to the FBI's periodic anti-sex worker pogrom, "Operation Cross-Country":
This year's Operation Cross Country—the largest to date—involved 55 FBI field offices and 74 FBI-led Child Exploitation Task Forces throughout the country composed of more than 400 law enforcement agencies. Hundreds of law enforcement officials took part in sting operations in hotels, casinos, truck stops, and other areas frequented by pimps, prostitutes, and their customers…
The FBI learned years ago not to give any clear figures on the number of peaceful adults whose lives are destroyed in these fanatical jihads, preferring instead to represent any underage sex workers they arrest as "rescued victims" and pretty much any male unlucky enough to fall into their hands as a "pimp" (though the conviction rate is only 4%). So it may take a week or two to get a picture of the extent of the carnage; right now the coverage is dominated by nauseating fluff like this in which cops and politicians engage in a vast circle-jerk to fantasies of enslaved teen girls:
Calling child sex trafficking a "scourge," FBI Director James Comey announced Monday that 82 minors had been rescued…through an international effort held this month to locate victims and arrest the perpetrators…"These children trapped in this hell need a hero," he said. "And the men and women who work for us, federal agents, state agents, local police officers and partners around the world are those heroes." Comey's comments came during the International Association of Chiefs of Police convention in San Diego…
But the tide has turned, and this time the usual cacophony of cop-fellation which accompanies these pogroms is interrupted by a few voices speaking the truth:
…sex-worker advocates [explain that]…better results could be achieved by decriminalizing prostitution. They argue that eliminating the fear of arrest would sharply increase the reporting of abuse and exploitation from both sex workers and their customers. Tara Burns…said people involved in the sex trade can't rely on the hope that [a cop]…they encounter will use their arrest discretion to zero in on abuses, and could just as easily wield it to commit them, as seen in the ongoing East Bay police sex scandal…
To Molest and Rape
It's unusual for reporters to actually use the word "rape" in reference to rapist cops: "A Festus [Missouri cop] charged with rape and domestic assault…has been [given a desk job]…Andrew J. Hirth…was charged Sept. 15…"
No Moss
Let's hope Rolling Stone's fortunes follow its credibility down the anti-sex toilet:
[Nicole Eramo] the University of Virginia dean [of students is] suing Rolling Stone for defamation over how she was portrayed in an article about a campus rape report…Sabrina Rubin Erdely [falsely] described a woman named "Jackie" being gang-raped by seven men…and portrayed the administration as not doing enough to help…"I don't think anyone at Rolling Stone thought of me as a real person," Eramo said…"You can't just do drive-by journalism"…Rolling Stone made her "look like the devil"…[even though]…Jackie [had written]…"Dean Eramo has truly saved my life….[she] was helpful and understanding and, above all, compassionate"…Eramo disputed that she ever said any of the [quotes attributed to her in the article and]…no one at Rolling Stone contacted…[her] during the fact-checking process…Jackie forwarded an email to the reporter showing that the dean had set up two meetings with police so Jackie could report the alleged rape to authorities. A reference to these meetings…was included in a draft of the article but was later edited out…
In other words, Erdely & Rolling Stone knew that the dean had supported "Jackie" in her claim, but willfully chose to depict her as a villain to make it a better story.
As clown hysteria continues to mount, institutional responses to it grow increasingly more stupid:
The Russian government warned citizens traveling to Britain to beware of clowns…San Francisco schools went into lockdown during a clown fear wave, and have now claimed the FBI is looking into things…in Concord…a mother [claimed] a "creepy clown" tried to kidnap her 1-year-old child…The woman [supposedly] kicked the clown in the shin and the person fled…Sonoma State University has responded to clown sightings as well as an unrelated person in a gorilla suit…That's the second…clown-gorilla connection…
Meanwhile, elsewhere in California:
Police arrested a juvenile Tuesday following a social media post that suggested "armed" clowns would visit three Hanford schools…police began receiving calls about the post…from [idiots] fearing for their own safety or for the safety of their children…Capt. Karl Anderson attributed the fast resolution to citizens who [snitched]…The Spooky Halloween Super Store…and…Halloween City…said the recent clown scares around the country haven't hurt sales of creepy clown masks, costumes and decorations…
But while these entrepreneurs are sensibly making money from people's herd behavior, Target decided to "send a message" that it's part of the Establishment: "Halloween costume shoppers won't be finding any 'creepy clown' masks on Target store shelves or online. The decision was made late last week to pull all clown masks from stores…" And Snopes is fielding some manifestations of the hysteria:
On 17 October 2016, the Empire Herald web site published a gruesome article about the arrest of a clown after police found eleven human bodies stuffed in a freezer at his Memphis residence…this story…was…a…fabrication intended to exploit…clown hysteria…The Empire Herald is a fake news site that does not publish any factual stories…

Nothing has appeared in the last couple of years to make [sex trafficking] estimates…more scientific than they were 10 years ago. – David Finkelhor
The reporter seems to be trying to hide what happened here:
…a Butte man was found not guilty of raping a woman in Missoula [Montana] in June 2015…Nicholas James Dolson…[met a sex worker via] Craigslist seeking sex. After the pair engaged in consensual vaginal intercourse, Dolson [anally raped her]…she…told him to stop but…he didn't. Dolson [then] left [without paying her]…The day after their encounter, Dolson sent the woman a text message that [admitted he] had planned to have sex with her twice…and…leave [without paying]. Dolson…[pretended] what had happened between him and the woman had been consensual…[even though] he hadn't…paid for their encounter as the two of them had discussed…
Hooters, Japanese Style
It isn't quite the same thing, but close enough considering the human aesthetics are the main attraction:
…The Amrita restaurant, which is set to open in Tokyo, has said that anyone 15kg above the average weight for their height will not be allowed to dine. The restaurant…will ask guests to check in their clothes and put on paper underwear when they arrive. Anyone who is thought to be above the average weight for their height will be weighed and ejected if deemed to be overweight…[spokeswoman] Miki Komatsu…[said] "If fat people are allowed in it could be miserable for some guests…We are aiming for a sort of Roman aesthetic, like the beautiful paintings you see in museums." People with tattoos are also banned from the restaurant and diners are asked not to "cause a nuisance" by touching or talking to other guests.
Anyone who thinks that a dog has to be "forced" to lick any part of a human body has never spent much time around dogs:
In a surprising decision from Canada's Supreme Court, the country's top judges ruled that forcing a dog to perform oral sex is not, in fact, bestiality and therefore not necessarily illegal…The case…involves an unnamed man, accused of forcing the family dog to perform oral sex on his underage daughter. The man was convicted of a litany of sexual offences in relation to the abuse, and sentenced to 14 years in jail. On one charge of bestiality, however, he was acquitted on appeal…His lawyers contended that…the charge, which carries no formal definition in the Criminal Code, was linked to "buggery"…and therefore required penetration. The [prosecution]…argued that…any sexual contact with animals [is] wrong, abusive, and illegal…Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, a backbench MP…[predictably reacted by introducing] C-246, which would explicitly ban all sexual activity between man and animal…
Surveillance beyond the wildest dreams of the Stasi:
Motherboard used public records requests to extract 3,000+ pages of court docs…which revealed the full extent of the Mounties' secret use of Stingrays…the fake cellular towers that let cops covertly track whole populations by tricking their phones into revealing information about them…in the USA, their manufacturers collaborated with federal law enforcement to swear local cops to secrecy, going so far as to drop cases rather than reveal the use of Stingrays, and, in a few known cases, lying to judges. Feds even raided local cops and stole all documents related to Stingrays before they could be entered into evidence. But even by those standards, the RCMP's use of Stingrays is breathtakingly broad and out-of-control…They not only routinely use Stingrays to surveil regions in a radius of up to 2km…but…also retained this data indefinitely, creating permanent surveillance databases that recorded the locations and activities (including the calls) of literally millions of Canadians who had never come under any suspicion for any crime…
A huge victory for the adult video industry:
In a big victory for the Free Speech Coalition, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals…vacated and remanded a lower court's July 2013 ruling that held that performer record-keeping for adult entertainment producers are constitutional…The 3rd Circuit…held that the inspection provisions of the statutes are facially unconstitutional under the 4th Amendment…
Eternal Vigilance
Even where sex work is legal, whore stigma is an ever-present danger:
A [political] candidate has quit after it emerged he owns a [suburban Melbourne] brothel called Paradise Playmates. Taiwan-born massage therapist John Min-Chiang Hsu resigned as the Liberal Party candidate for the Victorian seat of Calwell after his ties to the brothel were revealed…Hsu also owns a company called Beautiful Life Natural Therapies, which runs three Melbourne massage establishments: CBD Massage, Five Star Massage and Sabaydee Thai Massage Day Spa. It's believed at least Sabaydee offers sexual services because it appears on a review website for sex work…Hsu…has denied owning the brothel but was unable to explain why company records show it is registered to a man with the same name, address and date of birth as him…
The Face of Trafficking
Note that even a horrifying case like this doesn't look anything like the "sex trafficking" myth as prohibitionists tell it:
…April Corcoran…handed over her 11-year-old daughter to a drug dealer for sex in exchange for…heroin…The alleged dealer is Shandell Willingham, who recorded some of the sex acts on video…[and] faces charges of rape, gross sexual imposition…[child porn] and human trafficking. He's already been convicted of drug crimes…The charges…to which [Corcoran] pleaded are enough to put her in prison for the rest of her life…
In what could be a metaphor for the modern world, an ignoramus who knows nothing about either filmmaking or sex work sets out to make a film about "sex trafficking":
Danielle Rose, 25, took it upon herself to expose the ugly truth that it happens in her native Brooklyn. Her first documentary, In Our Backyard, depicts the unspoken world of sex trafficking through the emotional stories of recent survivors and the work of advocates fighting to end this form of modern-day slavery. A senior at Sarah Lawrence College, having never used a camera before, Rose set out to make a documentary film about it. She invested all her savings into the film and enlisted her friends and family to help her…Rose [said]…"my mom, who was a caterer, was friends with someone at the Brooklyn DA's office and they got in touch with her to donate food for an anti-trafficking event…I knew nothing about using a camera but I started going out and filming…The subjects it touches upon are sex buyers, pimp culture, the music we listen to, and Backpage.com"…
The Pygmalion Fallacy (#596)
This just keeps getting stupider with every iteration:
…Professor Noel Sharkey said he believes teenagers could lose their virginity to android sex dolls…and…warned that the robots may have damaging consequences for society…he insisted that robotic dolls could have as big an impact as online porn in the sex industry…"Sex robots are accessible now and certainly [will be common] within the next 10 years. I think there will be an age limit. Certainly there should be, but if your dad or mum had one, you could sneak in and use it…It's not a problem having sex with a machine. But what if it's your first time, your first relationship? What do you think of the opposite sex then…It will…stop…people forming relationships with normal people"…
Still a Child (#620)
Naturally, Baton Rouge couldn't let itself be out-pruded by New Orleans:
Louisiana strip clubs will be barred from hiring dancers under the age of 21, under a new law…Bill sponsor…Ronnie Johns…[pretends] the provision will help to fight human trafficking…Debate was briefly derailed by a proposal from…Rep. Kenny Havard…suggesting strippers should be between 21 and 28 years old and less than 160 pounds. The amendment drew strong criticism. Havard called it a joke about overregulation…
The proportions of this scandal are staggering. Look how many Magic Angels of Safety* participated in raping an underage sex worker:
At [the] press conference announcing the departure of Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent, Mayor Libby Schaaf…told a room full of reporters that Whent was resigning for "personal reasons". The mayor said it had nothing to do with a scandal involving rookie police officers who sexually exploited a minor, or the suspicious death of a police officer's wife and his subsequent suicide…But the mayor and other city officials are either not being forthright about the extent of OPD officer misconduct…at least fourteen Oakland Police officers, three Richmond Police officers, and four Alameda County Sheriff's deputies had sex with the girl who goes by the [stage] name Celeste Guap…who…said she slept with cops as a form of protection [from arrest]…
*Credit Mistress Matisse
A Tale That Grew in the Telling (#641)
It's so good to see "sex trafficking" lies now being attacked from multiple directions:
…The 1,000-victim figure comes from a questionable study commissioned by the Ohio Attorney General's Office and published in 2010…The…FBI…[labeled] an average of 15 [minors as] victims of sex trafficking in Toledo each year, between 2005 and 2009. The study's authors took that 15-per-year figure and applied it to all girls ages 12 through 17 in the state of Ohio…[yielding] an estimate of 202 girls per year. Then, the commission multiplied 202 by five, because a University of Toledo study claimed that each sex trafficking victim they interviewed knew an average of five more underaged minors "not known to law enforcement, but who were engaging in the sex trade"…
Rolling Stone is trying to cover its collective arse (or rather, that of whatever drunk editor approved the publication of a piece of anti-sex propaganda from a government stooge) by publishing a rebuttal from Amnesty International featuring those stupid things called "facts". It's too late, Rolling Stone; you've flushed whatever credibility you had down the anti-sex toilet. But maybe you can reinvent yourself as a magazine for fascist bootlickers and authoritarian apologists.

How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
A complete unknown, like a rolling stone. – Bob Dylan
Rolling Stone magazine was born in the autumn of 1967, and for years was an icon of music and counterculture. But sometime in the 1980s its reputation began to wane; it was repeatedly criticized as being stuck in the '70s, and the political views it espoused, which once seemed to speak for so many, faded into irrelevance and self-parody. In 2014 the sinking of its fortunes was accelerated by the publication of a badly-flawed, libelous piece of yellow journalism about a supposed gang rape that never actually happened, and the tone of anti-sex moral panic set by that fiasco has apparently become one of the dying rag's editorial lodestars because last week it published a dreary recitation of prohibitionist bullshit from a lawyer for the US Department of "Justice". Let that sink in for a moment: the former champion of sex, drugs and rock & roll has been reduced to printing a hysterical anti-sex screed written by a mouthpiece for the US government which not only praises prohibition, defends the police state and attacks the world's most respected human rights organization (which Rolling Stone has always lionized in the past), but does so via a tissue of lies so dense that I was literally able to find only four basically-truthful sentences in the whole thing (the 1st sentence, the ones starting "Amnesty argues" & "Amnesty also claims" under #2, and the sentence beginning "In discussions with Amnesty" under #5).
It would be pointless to attempt to deconstruct this mess; most of it is such blatantly false, repeatedly-debunked propaganda that nearly any of you could tear it apart as easily as I could, especially if you kept "Frequently Told Lies" open while doing so. It opens by arguing that dysphemisms describe our profession more accurately than objective terms; quickly progresses to confusing legalization and decriminalization while mis-defining the latter; quotes debunked prohibitionist "research" while arguing that sex work magically violates every known economic principle; argues that the problems with legalization are actually problems with decriminalization; states that women who are poor or who have suffered sexual trauma are forever incapable of giving sexual consent; trots out the "age of entry" myth; descends into asinine navel-gazing about "rape culture" and "objectification" while simultaneously giving credence to the grossly-misogynistic "raping a whore is theft of services" trope; and winds up with a blatant argument that economic freedom is bad and women are moral imbeciles who need a paternalistic government to "regulate" our lives, sexualities and economic activities, concluded with an appeal to the Swedish model and a bunch of meaningless prohibitionist mottoes. As the young people would say, "Go home, Rolling Stone, you're drunk."
If this, along with the trotting out of senile nonagenarian Christian evangelical politicians with white savior complexes, is the best the prohibitionist movement has to offer, its days are numbered. These arguments are so obviously false and intrinsically unconvincing, even people who have never before heard of the Swedish model are able to immediately recognize them as tripe. Of course, authoritarians don't actually care about either truth or public opinion; they're perfectly happy to demand people comply with their bizarre and evil notions upon pain of violence inflicted by armed thugs. But the period in which the War on Whores, like its sibling the War on Drugs, could be seen by anyone without an agenda to enforce as anything other than a moral abomination, is rapidly drawing to a close. It will be interesting to see which cultural institutions see the writing on the wall and take the side of human rights, and which line up with cops, moralists and profiteers on the side of repression. And though I was never really a fan of Rolling Stone, I must say I'm disappointed (though not actually surprised) that it has chosen the latter.

I really suggest you got Scenic trails close cuz there's like a lot of open space in the bushes and people might be coming over there and you guys can easily get like to be eliminations over that is not be chosen Pleasant Park in a single match. And to be honest. This has to be the simplest challenge out there just go over there. It's not even like you guys going to probably take a present. You guys can do that as well. But yeah, if you got a plane definitely do that, I didn't want to ask you can leave this. Sean's is going to be a stage 2 for this. Oh, yeah do that again with you. Maybe a plane if the distance is really bad then definitely.Plan and I would really help you out with this challenge any of the reason I'm telling you how she actually take a plane because they could be like a station where you got to go for like a very long distance of days it really, you know, how to Stage by stage through then just played and you guys should be good cuz for the last season we actually had like Shadow cubes on so, you know traveling for long distances that never used to be a problem, but now we got planned. So yeah, if you have any problems that these are playing and you guys should be good for the stage 2 challenges well and got to be near Pleasant Park and how to complete them. It's got to be really simple. All you got to do is go over there and play the music which is on the sheet okayed. It could be the same that I'm playing right now, but it could be different. Okay, but be as an example and playing this right now and that is how I actually you guys can do it. Then once that you play there's going to be like a song that was going to need to play after this. Oh, yeah, the ones that song actually plays that means you're done with the challenge.Dashie playing the piano and how this actually work. So as of now decode how to change it so do what I'm doing right now and you guys should be good cuz Wednesday I should you know, prezis. Keno's is going to be like a lot of people, you know trying to go around and try need a pickaxe you so yeah just don't have that much and try to focus on a keto it's cuz that matters Dubose maybe you might have like one game ruined just a little bit. But other than that you should be done with this house not to the next location which has got to be near lonely Lodge if these videos helping out to drop a like but yeah just got to be the exact location where you guys can find it and to play this this is going to be really tough. This is like a long u no stretch of key. So make sure you guys follow the game play and you take that I'm saying is Well, she actually completed this house cuz this is actually a really big nun and whatever is in the keynote if it does change I'll let you guys know but as of now, it hasn't changed this follow me through and you guys should be good so far this one I actually have a piece of paper. We have actually reading it out loud. So yeah, I'm just going to follow that in the game play as where is going to be like CCC.Fgfg. Asiga, that's what I will be playing on the background in the game play. This is just to get a sample clip of me playing the piano right now. I hope the codes inside the music. She doesn't Chase but as of now decodes a Triple C triple f e f g a a i g a few times that I'm jumping at three times this take your time don't need a panic that much cuz again, there's going to be a lot of players VA. Usually I just watch out then you got up jump on e e f g a and then a hashtag GNA don't go to the left side of the periodic stay on the right side of the piano cuz this is going to be exact location where you actually got a complete that cuz you can play on the left side of the can of the challenges won't get counted because if you look inside the ketos does keto diet and circle and not in boxes, but if they do change make sure you follow the Iquitos, which is inside your music sheet.It is well once actually do that. There's going to be like a sound playing on the Baton as well. Bean's I'm done with the challenge someone to ask you hear that sound. That means you're good to go. And once you complete the challenge another challenge that you guys can go and complete that has got to be compete in a dance-off at an abandoned mansion and you only got to do it oneself. All you got to do is move her to the mansion which is next to the big piano. Once I should go down there you're going to see like a dance floor and there could be some better music over there because I can't find any dentist fetish. Game and go inside of U game cuz I'm a human a lot of people might be entertaining a complete this challenge. So yeah, once you go inside of you get this going to be a lot of people over that and this is going to be the exact location where you guys can go and complete the challenge but yeah go on top of the boxes and you guys should be good. And yeah, I'll be with someone you guys should be done with the challenge and I gave this is again a sample paper of me doing the challenge and how I actually did it. So basically you got to keep on dancing and if your opponent is not even trying to do the boats on top of leg.Then his point is not going to get school until yet. If you have an appointment to stream to try to make him at the satellite on top of leg be blowing stuff cuz you got to be there when you're trying to. You both as that's how I actually did it and you guys can actually win this but I don't think you got too windy to face off. But again, the name of the child has competed on top and it doesn't say wouldn't have a dance-off. So yeah today was going to be eliminated and importing from at least 50m away. And to be honest to complete this. All you got to do is head of what you like team. Rumble or maybe some day you gave out. Don't try to not do this in Close Encounters cuz with Shopkins you can usually get that damage unless you're lucky. But yeah, other than that, it's going to be really tough. And again, this is a sample clip up we doing these challenges and how you guys can actually do that game right now and you guys look at these clips. I was just using a heavy AR and I got those kids really easily. I mean, I really suggest you guys, uw's like snipers and everything cuz and he travel a lot of players I like kind of static and they doYou must see how to get a sniper or like a heavier, or maybe even if you'd prefer is God that definitely use that and whatever you are, you know comfy with but I really prefer you guys like a sniper or heavy sniper. If you find that the whole city behind Cocina completing. This challenge would be really easy. And again if you see someone knocked down in like a normal squads game, and if you don't play Team Rumble, if that's not your thing, then yeah, you knock someone go like 50 meters away, and then, you know, just finish your mouth, and you should be done with the challenge every this is just a small truck that you guys can actually do and that will really help you out with this challenge week 2 then check out this video with zip hearing on the screen right now, and you guys will know the location and subscribe if you see a happy birthday shinzon and John Deere Gator Squad. Goodbye.

Geoffrey Pyke - Inventor, genius, fugitive, spy
By Henry Hemming
In the years that followed Pyke came into his own. In 1940 he came up with the idea for a snow-borne guerrilla force designed to operate behind enemy lines in Norway. After repeated rejections, this idea was taken up in 1942 by Lord Mountbatten, head of Combined Operations. Churchill loved it, as did the U. S. Army, and Pyke was sent to Washington D. C. to develop this force and its bespoke snowmobile, a mission which resulted in the formation of the original U. S. Special Forces.
At around the same time Pyke told Mountbatten about another idea which he had had almost a decade ago, that of oil pipelines running under the ocean. This spawned PLUTO, the set of pipelines under the English Channel used to pump oil to Allied forces in France.
While Pyke was in the U. S. he had his most radical idea – giant aircraft carriers made out of refrigerated and reinforced ice. These Habbakuk berg-ships would be virtually unsinkable, cheap and large enough to accommodate bombers and long-range fighters. Again Mountbatten jumped at it, as did Churchill. Millions of pounds were spent on experiments and prototypes. The Americans came on board. It remains arguably the most imaginative and ambitious scheme of the war, yet by the time the practicality of the concept had been proved it was too late for the ships to play a meaningful part in the war.
Suffering from depression and an undiagnosed physical illness Pyke became in the aftermath of war a broken man, and in 1948, aged just 54, he committed suicide. In his Times obituary he was described as one of the 20th century's 'most original if unrecognised figures', an epithet which remains true today.
For more, see the new biography of Pyke – Churchill's Iceman: The True Story of Geoffrey Pyke: Genius, Fugitive, Spy out now with Penguin Random House.
Geoffrey Pyke lived most of his life as if it was an experiment. The idea he wanted to test was simple enough: that he could solve any problem, and what's more, so could anyone else. There followed one of the most extraordinary lives of the 20th century.
Born in 1893, the cousin of the television presenter Magnus, Geoffrey Pyke decided in 1914, in the weeks after the outbreak of war, that it might be fun to smuggle himself into Berlin – which is what he did. He was eventually caught, whereupon he pulled off the first successful escape from Germany of the war. He was just 21.
In the 1920s he set up a revolutionary kindergarten inspired by Freud. To pay for it he speculated on the metals market using a financial model he had concocted himself. It worked and he earned a fortune. The school went on to change the landscape of British pre-school education. In 1934 he predicted the Nazi Holocaust and suggested an institution to debunk the myth of anti-Semitism. He also came up with the idea of the Mass Observation Movement and the following year established a charity in which volunteers all over the country gave time and expertise to provide the Spanish Republicans with industrial aid.
In 1938 he reached the conclusion, like so many others, that there would soon be war. What set Pyke apart was his subsequent decision to find a way to stop it. In the summer of 1939 he sent into Nazi Germany a team of undercover pollsters disguised as eccentric English tourists. Pyke had tasked them with conducting a Gallup poll into the question of whether Germans really supported Hitler's war-mongering. Amazingly, none of these undercover pollsters was arrested by the Gestapo. By mid-August 1939 the survey was on course to demonstrate scientifically that most Germans were anti-war. Everything was going perfectly until, that was, Germany invaded Poland.

Thanks for expecting accountability. It is a rare thing these days.
Once a bank or individual chooses to take welfare or food stamps "We the people" have a right and an obligation to oversee what they do with that welfare payment.
Today, if a welfare queen gets a Section Eight housing subsidy, she never touches the money; it goes right to her landlord because the government does not trust her to use the money for its intended purpose. This makes sense.
The appropriate conservative response to the liberal 'no strings attached' welfare payment policy is, "If you don't like the restrictions and obligations required of you, then, DON'T TAKE THE MONEY."
This is how it should be. We have the absolute right to place restrictions and impose obligations on those who drink from the public well.
As to the worth of these bumbling CEO's, their banks have failed. As part of the creative destruction that is capitalism, we should be seeing them in the unemployment line or (for Paulson and Geithner) doing the orange suit perp walk. This would allow the true John Galt's of banking to step forward with their real ability and create an improved banking system from the rubble.
Finally, if I lose my job during this recession the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency will have the absolute right to tell me how much I am worth. They may also choose to impose other obligations as long as I take the government check. I will have to look for work, keep a record of my efforts, and check in every two weeks to report on my progress. None of this should be considered unreasonable. I will have a right to the money (what the government decides is just), but an obligation to play by government set rules.
I think I understand your position now. I apologize if I mischaracterized your position on government regulation of industry. Thanks for keeping the discussion going.
I agree with much of what you said. Specifically, there are many frivolous law suits and they cause needless suffering to people that get dragged into the process. (It happened to my wife once, but, I won't bore you with the details.) I agree that lawyers have a strong monetary motivation to file frivolous lawsuits. I also agree that congressmen are show boating media whores. Finally, I agree that Congress is not the FDA (they did create and have oversight over the agency, however).
My problem is this: Sometimes businesses and their owners or employees are negligent. The man processing and selling poisonous peanuts is a pretty good example of this. My evidence for this are the conditions in his facility and the eight dead people.
If Congress should not regulate products for safety because of too much onerous regulation, then it is up to individuals to find relief in the court system. If the lawyers who pursue the cases in court are the Darth Vader's of our justice system (thanks Rush) and must be stopped, then there is no accountability for the business owner who is negligent. Remember, I AM NOT SAYING ALL BUSINESS OWNERS ARE NEGLIGENT. Some are. They need to be held to account.
If we accept that Congress should not regulate AND we accept that the lawyers who sue on the behalf of people who are harmed or killed by negligence should be stopped, there is no accountability.
I believe we must drop one of the premises. Either we accept the trial lawyers as the remedy for negligent business practice OR we accept that regulations are needed to keep our food supply safe. Liberals think we need more of both.
If the man who sold the poison peanuts has to sell his business, justice served.
If he has to give the money to the families of the dead, justice served.
If he does jail time, justice served.
If any of the above happens it will be because of a trial lawyer who may have an expensive hair cut.
Do you agree that in some cases a business owner needs to be held accountable?
I do not want to beat on a dead horse, but, I have a question.
To paraphrase, you said that people who are harmed or killed by unsafe products should look to the courts for relief.
What is your position on the trial lawyers who take these cases?
What would your response be if John Edwards won a big cash settlements for the families of the eight dead people who consumed the poisonous peanuts?
I've been a conservative for a long time and it seems we have had trial lawyers in our sights since Reagan.
I'm genuinely interested in your thoughts.
While moving paper around in my basement office,I was listening to a radio program where a woman was discussing her new book about how the catalog business (think Ward or Sears) changed retail in the beginning of the last century.
In passing she mentioned the creation of the Food and Drug Administration. Its creation was a response to certain medicine being sold at the time. Apparently, you could purchase medicine for alcoholism that was 40% alcohol, headache medicine with cocaine in it, and other medicines containing opium and arsenic in these catalogs.
A strong FDA might even be conservative. I remember Republicans saying we should not be able to buy inexpensive drugs from Canada (free markets) as they were likely unsafe, presumably because of insufficient standards. After all, these Republicans were arguing, Canada does not have the F.D.A.
I do agree with your point about Congress being publicity whores with little concern for the public welfare. My preference would be for the majority of both houses of Congress to be replaced with fresh blood. Maybe then they could conduct the oversight that I think is necessary in a beneficial and productive way, instead of posturing and pretending to care.
For the record, if I saw Congress flexing its muscles I would be in a state of shock and therefor unable to get turned on.
Download the clip and enjoy.
I found a great slide show that illustrates vividly why "ownership abstraction" is such a bad idea. This is hilarious, informative and not partisan. (Sorry about the Robert Reich links.) It's the real deal!!!
Love the analysis about the levels of abstraction.
Should citizens ask banks politely to stop using all their MBA brain power and stop being the smartest man in the room?
In other words, what oversight does Wall Street need? What entity will provide that oversight? and Who will (or who did) create that entity?
Robert Reich is probably my favorite Liberal economist. In this video he is defending the stimulus bill to an Australian reporter from the Australian Broadcast Company. Reich gets a lot of softball questions, but I still think it is worth watching. Personally, I agree with about half of what he says. I like everything he says about corporate responsibility.


Solution A: Use a bit set: each input port is represented by one digit. A 1 means opened, a 0 means closed. If the bit set is 0, all input ports are closed.
Allows "only" 32 (using an int) oder 64 (using a long) input ports. In a few years, where a 128-core is common, this limitation could be a problem.
Solution B: Use two lists for ports: one for opened ports and one for closed ports.
Solution C: Use a counter for opened ports.

The Treatise on The Resurrection
Information on The Treatise on The Resurrection
MALCOM L. PEEL WRITES (The Nag Hammadi Library in English, p. 52): "The importance of this short, eight-page, didactic letter lies in its witness to a distinctively unorthodox interpretation of Christian teaching about survival after death. By the late second century, the probable time of its composition, Christians – whether Gnostic or orthodox – were struggling with certain challenges and questions. Was such survival philosophical demonstrable (as Socrates had argued in the Phaedo)? What form might it take? (Immortality of the soul? Resurrection of the body? Reincarnation?) When would such survival be experienced? (At death? At Christ's final return? Perhaps even before death?) The New Testament teaching was somewhat ambiguous on several of these points, though within the great church there seemed general agreement on at least two matters: the prototype and basis of hope for such survival was the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the resurrection of individuals would entail their retention of personal identity."


By 2050, 66% of the world's population will live in cities. Urbanization combined with population growth will add another 2.5B people in 35 years. How to efficiently, securely, effectively, cleanly manage such highly populated cities will be a major area of concern for city planners, utility providers, governments.
Monitoring a functioning city with millions of people and objects moving at the same time requires sensors to be highly dedicated, accurate, and highly reliable. Smart sensor technologies can be used in cities to enable wireless traffic lights, monitor and control pollution, detect and alleviate traffic congestion, enforce public behavior (ex. Smoking in no-smoking zones), monitor for security and number of other applications.


If you have any aches, pains, or discomfort, the holidays are the perfect time to try and do something about it. With less work to do, and more time on your hands, it's the perfect opportunity to give your body the tune up it separately needs to heal.
Not sure where to start healing yourself of your aches and pains? No problem! I've produced a useful series of articles and videos that can fix your body from top to bottom! And best of all? You don't even need to go to the gym or the doctor – you can fix yourself at home.
Do you have lower back pain? If so, you are not alone. A very large percentage of the adult population suffers from some sort of back pain. In many cases, this is because we spend too much time sat down. One great way to fix this problem is with stretching. The key to getting good results from stretching is doing it little and often, and that's why I created this five-minute stretching routine for back pain relief.
Core is the term used by exercise professionals to describe the muscles of your midsection. A weak core will increase your risk of lower back pain as the main job of these muscles is supporting your spine. Stronger core muscles mean less lower back pain. You don't need to go to the gym to strengthen your core muscles. In fact, you can do it in the comfort of your own home. Here is a five-minute routine for strengthening your core for less back pain.
Like back pain, shoulder pain is very common. Ironically, if you exercise, you are more likely to suffer shoulder pain than someone who is inactive. However, even sedentary people can have shoulder pain – and again, that's because of sitting too much. If you have shoulder pain, try this short but effective stretching routine for relieving shoulder pain.
Frozen shoulder is a more serious type of shoulder pain. With frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, the shoulder joint stiffens up making normal movement all-but impossible. Fixing frozen shoulder can take time and determination, but this 5-minute home routine for frozen shoulder will definitely help.
Sleeping in an odd position, turning your head too fast, a car accident, or sitting in a cold draught can all lead to neck stiffness and pain. Your neck is a fragile joint, and any problems with it can make life miserable. If you have a stiff, painful neck, fix it with this five-minute yoga exercise program for relieving neck pain.
Your sciatic nerve runs from your lower back, down through your hips and buttocks, and ends right down in your feet. Too much sitting, as well as poor posture, puts pressure on the sciatic nerve which causes pain. That pain can occur anywhere along the length of the sciatic nerve, but is most commonly felt in the lower back and upper leg. Sciatica, the pain caused by sciatic nerve pressure, is very unpleasant, but it can be fixed. Here are five stretching exercises that will help relieve the pain of sciatica.
When most people talk about back pain, they are usually talking about their lower back, also known as the lumbar spine. But your spine is a long structure, and also includes the upper back or thoracic spine. Poor posture and too much sitting can cause upper back pain. Luckily, fixing upper back pain doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. Set your office chair and workstation properly, and also do these five exercises for relieving upper back pain.
