department of justice doj dept of justice weather chicago swizz beatz mpaa south carolina debate
As the Supreme Court debated the fate of the Affordable Care Act this week, anxiety spread throughout the leftward legions. Progressives, liberal elites, those who reject labels but still love Downton Abbey -- we've all become antsy. And here's a spoiler alert: The situation is actually worse than people think. Whether Justice Kennedy wakes up on the left or the right side of his bed this summer, the Court's ruling will hurt President Obama's campaign. The reality is that the political battle over Obamacare has already been lost.
This has nothing to do with Solicitor General Verrilli's performance this week. Depending on whom you ask, Mr. Verrilli's defense of the individual mandate resembled something between a mildly alarming debacle and the causeway ambush of Sonny Corleone in The Godfather (see below for a visual approximation of Verrilli's oral argument).
The SG proved incapable of articulating a limiting principle to cabin Obamacare under the Commerce Clause, and the aggressiveness of the inquisition was disturbing, particularly to those in the room. Granted, the news sensationalizes everything, but some of the legal correspondents returned to their network studios looking like shell-shocked soldiers trying to describe the horrors of 'Nam to their families. CNN's Jeffrey Toobin wore a particularly squeamish expression as he described the events: with the sound off, he could well have just witnessed Verrilli be covered in barbeque sauce and dunked in a tank of piranhas. And the definitive evidence things didn't go smoothly? Rachel Maddow spent the first half of her show preemptively attacking the institutional integrity of the Court and ranting about Bush v. Gore; Sean Hannity spent the first half of his show laughing maniacally and tossing around his idiotic toy football, as though he'd just found tape of the president with a goat.
But however Kennedy comes out, the Court's apparent decision to reach the merits is bad news for the Administration. Let's consider the nightmare scenario first. Say Kennedy decides to shred the ACA, turn it into his own personal wallpaper, and redecorate his chambers with it. It would be catastrophic. To be a bit rude for a moment, those arguing that this would actually help Obama get re-elected are either fools or deluded contrarians. (Don't kill me in my sleep, James Carville!)
First, the holding would announce to the world that Obama is, at least by constitutional metrics, outside the mainstream (read: a radical). It would vindicate every nutty right-wing pundit who has claimed that he is not only a liberal president, but somehow an illegitimate one operating outside the bounds of the law. This would be the story, even if it's an unfair oversimplification of the truth. In reality, would invalidation be anything other than another judicial overreach by a politicized court, akin to Citizens United? No, not really. But presidential martyrdom rings hollow, and trying to sell that explanation in swing states would be like trying to teach mandarin to a badger.
Second, invalidation would wipe out the principal political achievement of Obama's first term. A year-and-a-half of his presidency, the period during which he was attacked for prioritizing his party's holy grail over the economy: gone -- as though he'd spent it playing MarioKart or devising his March Madness bracket. It would be an indictment of his stewardship and managerial competence. Say what you will about the ideological composition of the Court, but if such an outcome were so predictable from the judicial personnel, shouldn't the president's lawyers -- hell, Constitutional Law Professor Obama himself?! -- known not to prioritize such a doomed crusade?
Third, a federalism-based rejection of the ACA dovetails nicely with the Romney campaign's healthcare talking points. So far, Mr. Romney's only answer to the Romneycare-Obamacare coupling has been an unconvincing, federalist distinction: that his health law was good for Massachusetts but bad for the nation. A Commerce Clause takedown by the highest court in the land lends that response some legitimacy: The federal government isn't authorized to issue an individual mandate, whereas Massachusetts is. (Mitt's known it all along!) Romney's been searching for evidence that something insidious happens when you apply a state healthcare plan to the entire country. Even if the Court's word is based on law more than policy, it would qualify.
And what if the Court upholds the ACA? The ruling would be a rallying cry for conservatives and a boon to right-wing turnout in November. Obamacare is an unpopular piece of legislation, and has been one from the start. You wouldn't quite call it a political lemon, but it's probably fair to say it's evolved into a strain of tangerine. An ABC/Wash. Post poll from last week finds that a majority of Americans want it repealed, and two-thirds want the Court to throw out at least part of it. If you're running a re-election campaign, time spent defending something 2/3 of the country wants invalidated is dicey territory; David Axelrod would likely prefer his candidate talk about other things -- like the auto-rescue, or financial reform, or maybe the most recent Mad Men episode.
And yet, before reaching the Court, the ACA had lost resonance since the midterms. Romney's impending nomination alone is proof that the histrionic fever over Obamacare had passed into remission. A summer ruling revitalizes the debate, injecting it back into the news without Romney having to expose himself to the hypocrisy of insurance mandate attack ads. The Court will do it for him, whatever the holding. Justice Kennedy could write a glowing opinion, seal it with a kiss, and attach a 'Yes We Can!' pin; it won't matter.
The ACA has unfortunately gone from polarizing to a political liability, and the Court's ruling is going to end up damaging the president's chances in November. That much is a foregone conclusion.

Millions of men and women all around the world have something in common. They all want to quit smoking. Many have attempted and failed, there is however a product that is available that may help smokers to ultimately stop smoking. Each hour people die from smoking-related diseases. Many [*COMMA] which are thought to be middle aged.
Did you know that surveys show that more than 68% of smokers want to stop smoking. This is a large number, considering only 3 percent of those people will really be successful in giving up. By employing Zyban you may just be able to finally quit smoking. Zyban has been launched in Britain, and has been considered a major quantum leap forward in helping smokers to beat their addiction.
How Zyban works to help give up smoking is the drug acts on the brain to cancel the craving for nicotine. Zyban being the first anti-smoking medicine approved in the Uk that does not contain nicotine is an advantage in helping people to give up smoking. Nicotine hungers can be as powerful as heavy booze or drugs. There are several products for sale for folk to stop smoking & Zyban is one of the best, but most of the others rely on a dose of nicotine to replace that supplied by the tobacco. So then the question is will that truly help you give up smoking? Probably not, and this is where using Zyban to quit smoking becomes active, because as we stated earlier using Zyban to give up smoking will stop you from having to replace your tobacco with nicotine.
Zyban comes as a tablet and is taken by mouth, about 2 times a day. The nice thing about this product to help quit smoking is that it can be taken with or without food. One thing to remember is that it must be take entire, not crushed or gnawed, as this will destroy the sustained activity causing more possibilities of complications. Don't take nearly medicine than prescribed.
Since this drug can cause sleeplessness at first, it is best not to take near bedtime. It is warned to continue smoking for the 1st week after starting this drug, till it reaches higher levels in your blood. Don't smoke if using any nicotine products with this drug. Too much nicotine can cause heavy side effects.
One reason you should try this technique to give up smoking using Zyban is usually because it will only take 10 seconds of inhaling from a fag to send a powerful dose of nicotine right to your cerebral cortex. Over a period of time the effects this will have on your neurotransmitters will cause you to become hooked on nicotine.
Zyban acts on the obsession process by helping to put these levels back to basics, allowing you to stop smoking. To find out more about how it's possible for you to stop smoking come to quits-cigarettes-quit-smoking.com for a selection of strategies to give up smoking and also to get your health back on track again.

Can the wealthiest black folks get together and start businesses that employ black people and do a lot to pull up the economic condition of the rest of us?
Well, wealth is relative. Those with more wealth can put you out of business by buying up your companies, taking all your customers by under-pricing you , or buying out your suppliers and/or employees. Even employing economic hit men with bottom lines that exclude no act?if you get my meaning. If they don?t do it, it?s because you are doing nothing that they don?t like?That means they are your boss. So, let?s take a look at the supposed wealth of the wealthiest black people in this part of the world?relative to white folks.
Oprah Winfrey is the wealthiest black person in the U.S.?-by a long shot. Ms. Winfrey has a net worth that is 5 TIMES that of the 2nd wealthiest black person in the United States, Robert Johnson, former owner of BET. Yet, Ms. Winfrey is tied with ten white people for 139th place amongst all persons.
Oprah Winfrey has more money than any other black person in the U.S..
BET co-founder, Robert Johnson. In 2011, Johnson ranked as the 2nd wealthiest black person in the U.S..
Warren Buffett, the 2nd wealthiest person in the U.S.. Bill Gates is the only person wealthier. And, the gap between Buffet and Gates is NOTHING compared to that between Winfrey and Johnson. This year, Tiger woods is said to be in that number 2 negro slot. Uhh, yeah.
The net worth of the 2nd wealthiest white person, Warren Buffett, is 71 TIMES the net worth of that second wealthiest black person, Robert Johnson. That is, it takes the caches of 71 Robert Johnsons to stack up to the wealth of his white counter-part, Warren Buffett. And, Mr. Johnson?s net worth is less than HALF that of the white person in 397th place. That?s right, our 2nd place does not reach even the level of their 397th place.
All of the ten wealthiest black people in the United States accumulated their wealth in the field of entertainment. None of the top fifty of the wealthiest white folks made their fortune in entertainment. In other words, the money of these black entertainment ?moguls? is the spare change of the really wealthy. For example, white billionaires use their spare change or hobby money to own sports franchises that employ/own black millionaires.
The wealthiest black folks have no financial leverage on white folks. We?re going to have to oppose the system of white domination some other way; and, that might include spending the money we?re allowed to have more effectively towards battling this beast. But, we cannot, essentially, buy our way out?with money.
About that Fortune 400 cover?Neither at the time of the cover in 2010 nor at any time since did Jay-Z rank as pitifully high even as Bob Johnson. But, the smartest white folks (racists) wanted to create an impression in us that the wealth of Mr. Carter is in the same league as Mr. Buffett?s. Why? If we thought otherwise, would we be trying to get like Jay-Z? Or, would we be plotting our way out of the glass game preserve that is this system of white domination?
Got 99 problems and White Domination is number 1.

ALERT: Word has reached The Ear of a FREE student concert, with faculty participants, worth attending today. At 2 p.m. in Mills Hall, mezzo-soprano Jamie Van Eyck (below) and friends will present a full performance of George Crumb?s ?American Songbook 5: Voices From a Forgotten World.? ?This is the 5th installment of Crumb?s American Songbook Series, which is a seven-volume collection of American folk songs, set to Crumb?s unique and colorful orchestration. ?The ensemble features two vocalists, a pianist and four percussionists, together playing over 100 instruments.

Remember the so-called Mozart Effect on babies? intelligence? Well, that pseudo-science or pop psychology seems recently to have been pretty well debunked and discredited.
But what about animals and music?
For many years, I have sworn that my cat Rosie (below) loves music, just as I do, especially piano music.
Rosie is a sweet and pretty tabby cat, and she seems to come over by the piano and sit down or lie down and roll over, or even jump onto my lap hile I am playing whenever I start practicing.
It seems to happen especially whenever I am playing Bach, Schubert or Chopin.
So I wondered: Is it me and the fact she identifies the piano sound with my presence, the same way Pavlov?s dogs responded to bells? Or is it the music?
Well, it is probably some of each, says Charles T. Snowden, a University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher and animal psychologist.
Among his findings are that animals show some breed specificity in the music they prefer. That is, they follow their own species? taste or preference rather than their owner?s taste or preference. That has led one entrepreneurial person even to market songs for cats, downloadable for $1.99 each (Meow-w-w-!).
But he also found that dogs respond with relaxation to classical music while heavy metal makes them more agitated.
Well is that the music or the oppressive sound? After all, I too ? like most humans, I bet ? become more agitated when listening to heavy metal, which seems intended deliberately to agitate the listener.
Here are some links to stories about research on pets and music:
http://news.discovery.com/animals/animals-music-120320.html
http://www.livescience.com/19156-animal-psychologists-discover-music-pets-prefer.html
http://www.petside.com/article/animal-psychologists-discover-pets-prefer-their-own-music
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46789825/ns/technology_and_science-science/#.T2y6uXjH1UQ
Some of the findings also seem to support my theory that Rosie is bothered by string instruments?especially high-pitched Baroque violins with GUT strings. I always thinks she objects to other animals, maybe even her ancestors, being used that way for human amusement and entertainment.
But maybe that is anthropomorphizing too much.
Based on his research, I suspect Snowden would probably say it is the high pitch and the fast tempo of early string music that really get to her.
Oh well, more enlightenment and obfuscation are sure to follow.
How do you pets react to music and what kid of music?
Do you have pet and music story to share?
The Ear wants to hear.

With a little trickery, you can make invasive ants follow your rules. A new installation called Ant Ballet, created by designer Ollie Palmer, in collaboration with biologist Seirian Sumner from the Institute of Zoology in London, uses an artificial pheromone to disrupt the movement of foraging ants.
In this video, you can watch Argentine ants getting fooled in Spain, where Palmer travelled to set up his artistic experiment. A nest in a tabletop becomes the ants' new home and a robotic arm in the middle periodically sprays out a powdered pheromone, which was developed in collaboration with a team of researchers from University College London. Since ants lay down chemical trails which they follow in search for food, the fake scent makes them deviate from their intended route.
Palmer has also created a foraging simulation based on trail-following behaviour (see end of video). Virtual ants move according to simple rules, governed by an algorithm and a tendency to steer towards pheromone patches. "About half of the ants lay trails, while the other half are passive," says Palmer. "This negates any complexity within the environment and behavioural changes due to the presence of food."
Although the simulation is highly simplified, Sumner is impressed by the collective organisation that emerges in the artwork. She also thinks that the demonstrations with live ants could be useful for research. "The intention is to control their dance, but from a scientific point of view it has exciting potential for conservation," she says. "An important component of applied research into invasive ant species is understanding how we can disrupt colony function."
The simulation is currently on display at the London Zoo in the first public exhibition of the work. The first demonstration with real ants will take place later this year at Pestival, an art festival celebrating insects, in Sao Paolo, Brazil.

Make way for another social travel startup, one with ambitions to disrupt the whole of the travel industry. A team of executives that helped build and develop the growth phenomenon that is the Huffington Post is now launching its next venture, CasaHop. The service will start out as a house-swapping platform, but, in the words of Paul Berry, the ex-CTO of HuffPost and now partner in developer SoHo Tech Labs, the plan is for much more: "We see this as a concrete entry into a much larger social travel play," he says, and perhaps more: the code he and his developers are writing for CasaHop will also be used for future ventures coming out of SoHo Tech Labs, including another social startup, still in stealth, called RebelMouse.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/H4_ZGqEJZpo/

When you are looking for VCs to invest in your business so that you can succeed it is helpful if you know where you are headed before you begin. Here is what you should expect:
1. Communication and Due Diligence
Make sure you prefect your high concept pitch, elevator pitch, teaser email, business plan, and your slide presentation. As part of your business plan the operations plan needs significant advanced attention and the reason for this is because it displays the potential risks involved when it comes to investing in your business while at the same time showing how they will be overcome. Another essential component of the business plan is the executive summary since this is how the potential investors will get their initial impression of you.

2. Compile a list of potential VCs to approach
Obtain access to a private equity firm database program and utilize it! Insert your main factors such as location, sector, and growth stage so as to narrow down your search. Thoroughly check out the VCs websites that you have on the list to confirm the data you receive as well as to ascertain whether they are investing. You need a short-list of VC firms because this makes it possible for you to concentrate your efforts on the ones that are more inclined to match your business model.
3. Establishing Contact
Make sure you know who to contact at the firms you have on your list. While the managing partners are the final arbiters of venture deals they are invariably very busy. Partners on the other hand are more likely to be available and carry weight within the firm. Associate Partners are inclined to read business plans that have not been solicited by the firm but they have less say than Partners do. Lastly there are the Venture Partners and these people aid in managing portfolio companies as well as assessing new deals however they have the least amount of influence within the firm. Therefore you need to choose those from as high up the ladder as possible but make sure that you concentrate on your existing connections when you send the teaser emails.

4. Meeting with VCs and Due Diligence
You need to do your slide presentation and be able to field the top 3 questions that VCs ask which pertain to the amount of capital you require, the value of your business, and your exit strategy. Make sure you get an answer from tem with regards to their investing in your business even if it is ?no?. Make sure that you provide all due diligence materials such as the background of the business, management history, business plan, financials, capitalization table, leases, employment agreements, purchase or sale agreements, and so on.
5. Terms Negotiation
You can create a competitive investment atmosphere by approaching numerous investors simultaneously. When it comes to negotiating terms keep an eye out for ?liquidation preference?. Ideally you should attempt to secure a 1X liquidation preference which ensures that the VC will recoup their investment in an IPO or buyout. This is preferable to a 2X or 3X which can double or triple their take prior to you receiving anything. Another thing to keep an eye out for is the ?participating preferred liquidation preference? which provides investors with 1X, 2X, or 3X liquidation preferences as well as their percentage share of all proceeds of a buyout, again prior to you receiving anything.

All Critics (69) | Top Critics (29) | Fresh (64) | Rotten (4)
[A] stirring, emotional portrait of a high school football team in the impoverished neighborhood of North Memphis, Tenn.
It's a bit too long and a bit too vague at times, but this is a film about dedication, progress and the bond of human effort. It just also happens to include football.
"Undefeated'' needs less of what we know we've seen (the football stuff) and more of the players' and coaches' lives, which even if we feel we've seen, we haven't.
What makes this a terrific film is how much we care about the players.
Courtney really does believe all that stuff about adversity and character, and the film is moving for its modest tale of boys learning to act like men.
For all its good intentions, the film, like its main subject, is a tourist, earning trust as it earnestly captures the incredible struggles of these young men, but never digging deep enough to actually make the story theirs.
A touching documentary that offers a field-level portrait of male mentorship, compassion and unvarnished hope - all without a Hollywood ending.
It is a powerful reminder of the difference one person can make -- and of the consequences when no one is willing to make that difference.
What lifts 'Undefeated' above other sports docs is the remarkable force of Bill Courtney's personality.
It may call to mind The Blind Side or Remember the Titans, but there's no Hollywood glitz in the blighted burg of Manassas.
I regret that we don't meet more of Courtney's players, but that might have required a miniseries rather than a movie. And "Undefeated" makes sure the coach who is its central figure is more complex and fascinating than most fictional movie characters.
...an inspirational and often touching film that lets us get to know a dedicated coach who has faith in his players and delivers what he promises (almost).
This is a film that doesn't cater only to the traditional football fan.
In introducing us to [Coach] Courtney...Undefeated finds its voice
Just like a well-fought playoff win, it'll leave you a little misty-eyed.
This is one of the best sports documentaries of the last few years and while I don't think it should have won in a VERY good year for non-fiction film, I'm really not upset at all that it did.
Finds the warmth and vulnerability that is sometimes hard for outsiders to see beneath the rough, damaged exterior of the impoverished Memphis neighborhood where much of the action takes place.
The hardened inner-city kids here are far more authentic than anything Hollywood can offer, and as a result the film has a raw emotional weight that commercial features rarely achieve.
Undefeated does more to draw a straight line between the desire to win (as opposed to actually winning) and the character of a man than a thousand locker room pep talks.

My first introduction to film at school was throughout a film evaluation class, although technically, it was labeled as a philosophy class. The professor was fairly pompous and made a big deal out of discussing learn how to actively view a film. No speaking was allowed, and we have been to take notes while viewing. He was just a little like the Film Nazi. We discussed movie theory and the power of the director within the making of a film at great length.
As a cultural phenomenon, film traces the human want to tell stories back to our oral traditions. Apart from recording historical past, we all wish to be entertained and we all need to hear a very good story. If you are going to make a film, you need to have an incredible story after which be keen to run with it. Talk it up to everyone you know. Enlist the assistance of others and win them over to the reason for your film. Give your movie a catchy title?one that can come out of individuals?s mouths.
Promote your movie shamelessly earlier than you ever have something in the can. Promote T Shirts together with your film logos and promote bumper stickers. Make an internet site and develop a fan base. Start a weblog and be just as edgy and on the market as you possibly can, but make sure that folks have your movie?s identify on their lips, regardless of how good it is.
I have a good friend who produced a film about her high school experience 10 years ago, and this summer season it will be distributed. She developed an internet site, bought things from her movie promotion stock, and made an excellent fan base for herself before the movie was even edited. Her fan base, via the purchase of T-shirts and other promotional objects, paid for varied issues all through production of the film. She managed to get it made and now her movie has been picked up for distribution 10 years later.
To be a filmmaker is to have a giant image mentality on a small image budget. It is tough to remain true to the storyline when you will have a bottom line that?s keeping you from the production. One of the causes you wish to speak your film up is that, to start with, you?ll need to find a crew. Often you will have to use talent that is prepared to work for nothing (or next to nothing). You could have to act in your individual movie as well?.and write, direct it, and edit it. Do what you have to do to get the film ?within the can? and able to edit.
You?ll have to develop tunnel vision with the project. When you have a day job, get used to the concept you may have to take an additional job for a while to buy a digicam or other crucial tools for shooting. You probably have the good fortune to nonetheless be a scholar you have great assets for equipment. In case you are not a student, then maybe you possibly can determine to go back to high school and study film. You should have at your disposal a few of the finest resources an aspiring filmmaker can have. Film packages at universities have superior loan packages which are a hidden resource.
At college, when you can take movie equipment out on loan, you might also have access to edit bays and sound booths. In some circumstances, they?re available 24 hours a day. Students are up all evening anyway, right? Additionally, when forming a manufacturing crew, college students present good expertise on your movie when you find yourself in need of actors. Chances are you?ll need to take turns crewing for your friends? movies, and they, in turn, will act in yours. Do what you?ll be able to to build a crew, gather the bare minimum of equipment wanted to shoot, and develop a taking pictures schedule. Upon getting the crew and the weapons to shoot, every part starts to gel. Press onward.

Miami rapper brings down the FADER FORT with his biggest hits and new Rich Forever mixtape singles.

Rick Ross performs at SXSW 2012

Considering the star power that had already passed through Austin, Texas beginning with Jay-Z's Monday night performance, it was only fitting that Rick Ross would make a surprise appearance at South by Southwest to wrap up the week's festivities.
The FADER FORT was packed to the brim all week, hosting acts like Kendrick Lamar, The-Dream and 2 Chainz, but the "TBD" spot for their closing set on Saturday night was the subject of much speculation. Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and Eminem had all shown up earlier in the week, so it was reasonable to assume that hip-hop's reigning titan would also get in on the action.
Memphis Tennessee rapper, Gangsta Boo, opened up Fader's last set of the festival performing old hits, new singles and her verse on the Eminem-featured Yelawolf single "Throw It Up" before passing the mic off to Maybach Music Group rapper Stalley. The Ohio native dipped into his mixtape Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music) then performed the Chad Hugo-produced single "Everything New," from his upcoming project Savage Journey to the American Dream before exiting.
Stalley had only left the stage for a few minutes when Ross showed up, launching right into bangers like "I'm Not A Star," after being introduced to the crowd as "the Hottest MC in the Game."
At this point, the Miami rapper has no shortage of hits and the crowd received every new track, including "Hustlin'" and his verse on "I'm On One," with enthusiasm. Solange Knowles hung in the VIP area dancing and singing-a-long to songs like "Aston Martin Music," which Ross so kindly dedicated to all of the women in the house.
Ross summoned Stalley back to the stage to perform his Rich Forever cut "Party Heart," but perhaps the most triumphant moment of the set came during the introduction to the mixtape's title track. "My success was not overnight," he told the crowd. "MMG started as a dream, MMG started in a basement. It took me over a decade to get where I'm standing now." For music lovers in the crowd who weren't Ross aficionados, the Bawse did his best to translate the overarching message in his music.
"I want ya'll to know that dreams come true," he told the crowd before closing set. "Every boss in the game started as a m-----f-----' worker, so build it from the ground up, do it self made, and be rich forever."
