Hoping to rebound from their loss to the Dolphins, the Bills flew to Lambeau Field for an interconference duel with the Packers. In the 1st quarter Buffalo trailed early as kicker Mason Crosby made a 44 and a 24-yard field goal, followed by RB Brandon Jackson getting a 1-yard TD run. The Bills made their only score of the game in the 2nd quarter when RB Fred Jackson made a 3-yard TD run. In the third quarter the Bills struggled further when QB Aaron Rodgers completed a 7-yard TD pass to WR Donald Driver, followed by Rodgers scrambling 9 yards to the endzone for a touchdown. The Packers increased their lead in the fourth when Rodgers made a 30-yard touchdown pass to WR James Jones.

Background: Baudelaire was born in Paris, France, on April 9, 1821, and baptized two months later at Saint-Sulpice Roman Catholic Church. His father, Francois Baudelaire, a senior civil servant and amateur artist, was 34 years older than Baudelaire's mother, Caroline. Francois died during Baudelaire's childhood, in 1827. The following year, Caroline married Lieutenant Colonel Jacques Aupick, who later became a French ambassador to various noble courts.
Context: Who among us has not dreamt, in moments of ambition, of the miracle of a poetic prose, musical without rhythm and rhyme, supple and staccato enough to adapt to the lyrical stirrings of the soul, the undulations of dreams, and sudden leaps of consciousness. This obsessive idea is above all a child of giant cities, of the intersecting of their myriad relations. Baudelaire is one of the major innovators in French literature. His poetry is influenced by the French romantic poets of the earlier 19th century, although its attention to the formal features of verse connects it more closely to the work of the contemporary "Parnassians". As for theme and tone, in his works we see the rejection of the belief in the supremacy of nature and the fundamental goodness of man as typically espoused by the romantics and expressed by them in rhetorical, effusive and public voice in favor of a new urban sensibility, an awareness of individual moral complexity, an interest in vice (linked with decadence) and refined sensual and aesthetic pleasures, and the use of urban subject matter, such as the city, the crowd, individual passers-by, all expressed in highly ordered verse, sometimes through a cynical and ironic voice. Formally, the use of sound to create atmosphere, and of "symbols" (images that take on an expanded function within the poem), betray a move towards considering the poem as a self-referential object, an idea further developed by the Symbolists Verlaine and Mallarme, who acknowledge Baudelaire as a pioneer in this regard. Beyond his innovations in versification and the theories of symbolism and "correspondences", an awareness of which is essential to any appreciation of the literary value of his work, aspects of his work that regularly receive much critical discussion include the role of women, the theological direction of his work and his alleged advocacy of "satanism", his experience of drug-induced states of mind, the figure of the dandy, his stance regarding democracy and its implications for the individual, his response to the spiritual uncertainties of the time, his criticisms of the bourgeois, and his advocacy of modern music and painting (e.g., Wagner, Delacroix). He made Paris the subject of modern poetry. He would bring the city's details to life in the eyes and hearts of his readers.

Problem: Background: Celtic art is associated with the peoples known as Celts; those who spoke the Celtic languages in Europe from pre-history through to the modern period, as well as the art of ancient peoples whose language is uncertain, but have cultural and stylistic similarities with speakers of Celtic languages. Celtic art is a difficult term to define, covering a huge expanse of time, geography and cultures. A case has been made for artistic continuity in Europe from the Bronze Age, and indeed the preceding Neolithic age; however archaeologists generally use "Celtic" to refer to the culture of the European Iron Age from around 1000 BC onwards, until the conquest by the Roman Empire of most of the territory concerned, and art historians typically begin to talk about "Celtic art" only from the La Tene period (broadly 5th to 1st centuries BC) onwards. Early Celtic art is another term used for this period, stretching in Britain to about 150 AD.
Context: From the 5th to the mid-9th centuries, the art of the Picts is primarily known through stone sculpture, and a smaller number of pieces of metalwork, often of very high quality; there are no known illuminated manuscripts. The Picts shared modern Scotland with a zone of Irish cultural influence on the west coast, including Iona, and the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria to the south. After Christianization, Insular styles heavily influenced Pictish art, with interlace prominent in both metalwork and stones. Pictish stones are assigned by scholars to 3 classes. Class I Pictish stones are unshaped standing stones incised with a series of about 35 symbols which include abstract designs (given descriptive names such as crescent and V-rod, double disc and Z-rod, 'flower' and so on by researchers); carvings of recognisable animals (bull, eagle, salmon, adder and others), as well as the Pictish Beast, and objects from daily life (a comb, a mirror). The symbols almost always occur in pairs, with in about one-third of cases the addition of the mirror, or mirror and comb, symbol, below the others. This is often taken to symbolise a woman. Apart from one or two outliers, these stones are found exclusively in north-east Scotland from the Firth of Forth to Shetland. Good examples include the Dunnichen and Aberlemno stones (Angus), and the Brandsbutt and Tillytarmont stones (Aberdeenshire). Class II stones are shaped cross-slabs carved in relief, or in a combination of incision and relief, with a prominent cross on one, or in rare cases two, faces. The crosses are elaborately decorated with interlace, key-pattern or scrollwork, in the Insular style. On the secondary face of the stone, Pictish symbols appear, often themselves elaborately decorated, accompanied by figures of people (notably horsemen), animals both realistic and fantastic, and other scenes. Hunting scenes are common, Biblical motifs less so. The symbols often appear to 'label' one of the human figures. Scenes of battle or combat between men and fantastic beasts may be scenes from Pictish mythology. Good examples include slabs from Dunfallandy and Meigle (Perthshire), Aberlemno (Angus), Nigg, Shandwick and Hilton of Cadboll (Easter Ross). Class III stones are in the Pictish style, but lack the characteristic symbols. Most are cross-slabs, though there are also recumbent stones with sockets for an inserted cross or small cross-slab (e.g. at Meigle, Perthshire). These stones may date largely to after the Scottish takeover of the Pictish kingdom in the mid 9th century. Examples include the sarcophagus and the large collection of cross-slabs at St Andrews (Fife). The following museums have important collections of Pictish stones: Meigle (Perthshire), St Vigeans (Angus) and St Andrew's Cathedral (Fife) (all Historic Scotland), the Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh (which also exhibits almost all the major pieces of surviving Pictish metalwork), the Meffan Institute, Forfar (Angus), Inverness Museum, Groam House Museum, Rosemarkie and Tarbat Discovery Centre, Portmahomack (both Easter Ross) and Tankerness House Museum, Kirkwall, Orkney.

Which entity is this text about?
Ratt is an American heavy metal band that had significant commercial success in the 1980s, with their albums having been certified as gold, platinum, and multi-platinum by the RIAA. The group is perhaps best known for hit singles such as "Round and Round" and "Lay It Down", tracks that ranked on Billboard's top 40 at No. 12 and No. 40, respectively, as well as other songs such as "Wanted Man", "You're in Love" and "Dance".
The origins of Ratt go as far back as 1973 in Hollywood, with a band called Firedome, founded by singer Stephen Pearcy with a few friends. In 1974 the band broke up, with Pearcy forming Crystal Pystal. The name Crystal Pystal was later changed to Buster Cherry, which turned into Mickey Ratt in 1976. Guitarist Robbin Crosby in those same years had been a member of the bands Metropolis with Tommy Asakawa and Parramore McCarty, Xcalibur, Phenomenon, Secret Service and Mac Meda with Askawa. Mickey Ratt went through various line-up changes. Members included guitarists Jake E. Lee, Chris Hager, Paul DeNisco, and Bob DeLellis, bassists Matt Thorr, Tim Garcia, Mike New and Dave Jellison, and drummers John Turner, and Bob Eisenberg. The various Mickey Ratt line-ups released several demos compilations and a live concert recording. In 1980, to increase their chances of landing a recording contract with a major label, the band recorded a single called "Dr. Rock" / "Drivin' on E", which was given to fans at their early Los Angeles club shows. In 1981, the band's name was shortened to Ratt. Crosby played with the band later in the year. Guitarist Warren DeMartini, recommended by Lee, joined the band in January 1982. Bassist Gene Hunter (from Jake E. Lee's Teaser) and drummer Khurt Maier (who played drums on the early "Tell the World" recording featured on the compilation Metal Massacre I) temporarily played in Ratt before the arrival of Bobby Blotzer (ex-Vic Vergeat) and Juan Croucier (previously with Dokken, and musically active since 1973). DeMartini was only 18 years old when he was called up to Los Angeles to join Ratt. At the time he was attending college in San Diego and was reluctant to drop out to join a band that had, so far, had only limited success. Marq Torien briefly replaced DeMartini, though he returned in time for the recording of their first EP, later in 1982. | Ratt | Flan2021 | quac:1.0.0 | zs_noopt |

– A man openly touting his brand-new handgun in Oregon—an open-carry state—had the weapon stolen from him at gunpoint at about 2:30am Saturday, the Oregonian reports via Mediaite. Police say William Coleman, 21, was hanging with his cousin on a street in Gresham when a young man walked up asking for a cigarette. The visitor inquired about the new gun, a black Walther P22 semi-automatic, then pulled a gun of his own. "I like your gun," he says. "Give it to me." Coleman reportedly concurred, and the guy ran off. Police are now looking for a 6' 1" man with wavy hair, a small goatee, "and a trickster spirit," quips Mediaite. Coleman's Walther probably ran him about $380, CBS News notes.
Let's expand this into a news article: A man who was openly carrying his brand new gun was robbed of said new gun, by another man who held him up at gunpoint. (With a gun.)
Confusing? We agree! So here’s how it all went down, according to Oregonian Live:
1: 21-year-old William Coleman III from Gresham, OR purchased a new Walther-P22 that morning, and was openly swaggering ’round with it. (Oregon is an open carry state.) He happened to be outside at 2:30 AM the next morning, talking to his cousin on a street corner, when a young man approached them and asked for a cigarette.
After inquiring about Coleman’s new gun, the man pulled out his own gun and reportedly said, “I like your gun. Give it to me.” He handed over his gun and the perpetrator fled on foot.
Police are on the lookout for a 6’1″ man with a small goatee, short black wavy hair, and a trickster spirit.

– Things are getting testy on Capitol Hill. John Boehner lashed out at President Obama at a news conference today, demanding he open talks with House Republicans. "I was at the White House the other night and listened to the president explain to me some 20 times why he's not going to negotiate," he said. He took particular exception to a quote in today's Wall Street Journal from an anonymous administration official, who said it didn't matter how long the shutdown lasted, because "we are winning." "This isn't some damn game!" Boehner said. "All we're asking for is to sit down and have a discussion and … bring fairness to the American people under ObamaCare." The White House has officially disavowed the "winning" comment, USA Today reports. "There's no winning," Obama said. "No one is winning." (Republicans had their own winning moment yesterday.) The Journal interprets Boehner's comments as evidence that Republicans are sticking to their health care guns, and won't end the shutdown soon. Democrats have been making a target out of Boehner, Politico reports. "His job is not as important as our country," Harry Reid told CNN.

Budget stand-off entwined with Oct. 17 deadline to raise debt ceiling
Obama, Democrats opposed to mini-funding bills to reopen only parts of government
WASHINGTON — President Obama and House Republicans, battling over who was at fault for the four-day partial shutdown of the federal government, found one point they could agree on Friday:
Federal workers sent home during the shutdown should get back pay when the government reopens.
The Republican-controlled House is set to vote on the Federal Employee Retroactive Pay Fairness Act Saturday. The Obama Administration, which had opposed piecemeal bills to resolve the shutdown, said Friday it "strongly supports" the measure.
"The Administration appreciates that the Congress is acting promptly to move this bipartisan legislation and looks forward to the bill's swift passage," the Office of Management and Budget said in a statement. "This bill alone, however, will not address the serious consequences of the funding lapse, nor will a piecemeal approach to appropriations bills."
STORY: Obama backs plan to give furloughed workers backpay
That agreement leaves only the Senate to decide whether to approve back pay. "I don't know anything about what the House is planning to do," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., complaining about the flurry of Republican bills with different demands and piecemeal approaches. He said the Senate would be in session Saturday to deal with whatever the House sent over.
The agreement was a rare moment of accord in an otherwise intractable standoff over government spending, the Affordable Care Act and the debt limit. The two sides traded shots Friday over which side was responsible for the shutdown, which began Tuesday after Congress failed to pass a spending bill for the new fiscal year.
"This isn't some damn game," Speaker John Boehner said after a GOP conference meeting. He slammed down a copy of the Wall Street Journal, where an anonymous senior White House official was quoted as saying Obama was "winning" the shutdown.
"The American people don't want their government shut down and neither do I. All we're asking for is to sit down and have a discussion ... to reopen the government and bring fairness to the American people under Obamacare," Boehner said.
"There's no winning," Obama said on a lunchtime visit to a Pennsylvania Avenue sandwich shop with Vice President Biden. "No one is winning."
Obama said the shutdown "could be over today."
"I'm happy to have negotiations but we can't do it with a gun held to the head of the American people," he said. Obama and congressional Democrats say they will negotiate on a broad, long-term budget deal after Republicans agree to end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling.
STORY: Obama: 'No winning' in shutdown
The unnamed White House official quoted said essentially the same thing that Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was overheard telling his Kentucky colleague, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, on a live microphone Thursday: "We're going to win this, I think."
As the shutdown ends its first work week, the impasse is beginning to do damage to the economy, economists said.
Moody's economist Mark Zandi said the first week of the shutdown has already shaved one or two decimal points off his estimate of 2.5% economic growth in the fourth quarter. A two-week shutdown would reduce growth to 2%, and a three-week shutdown would bring it to 1.6%
"If it goes on for a month, then growth will be closer to 1%, which I would characterize as pretty close to stall speed," Zandi said.
That assumes the debt limit is increased by Oct. 17 -- the date by which Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew says the government will run out of borrowed money. If Congress doesn't raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit, the United States would face its first-ever default.
"Let me be clear: If we breached the debt limit -- I think the the right word would be 'catastrophic' -- for the economy," Zandi said.
Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, said that doesn't have to happen. The chairman of the House Financial Services Committee said Treasury should prioritize payments on debt and Social Security, and accused Obama of trying to "spook the markets."
But in an interview taped Friday for C-SPAN's Newsmakers, he also emphatically denied market-calming reports that Boehner would seek Democratic votes to raise the debt limit.
The House voted Friday on bills that would provide short-term funding for disaster relief and a program that provides food aid to women and children. Democrats have consistently rejected a piecemeal approach, and tried a number of procedural ploys Friday to force a vote on a "clean": continuing resolution to fund the government through Nov. 15.
"It will take some coming together on the Republican side," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a CBS News interview. "It's very hard to negotiate with the Republicans when they can't negotiate with themselves."
While Obama supports retroactive pay, the White House said he would veto the short-term measures. "Consideration of appropriations bills in this fashion is not a serious or responsible way to run the United States government," the OMB policy statement said. "Instead of opening up a few government functions, the House of Representatives should reopen all of the government."
Republicans accused the president of having "interesting priorities."
"So, to recap, the President signed the troop funding bill, and does not oppose back-pay, but he has promised to veto bills helping veterans, cancer research, National Parks, the District of Columbia," said House Speaker John Boehner's spokesman Michael Steel.
But federal employees applauded the breakthrough, however minor, as giving employees "a little peace of mind."
"I would have to say it takes a big worry off my mind," said Cindy Blythe, a Coast Guard management analyst in Topeka, Kan. " It's an aggravation that we're furloughed because Cong couldn't get it together. They had an entire year to get this done. This is not something that came out of the blue."

Washington (CNN) – In an interview with CNN Chief Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid accused House Speaker John Boehner of being more worried about his job than the country amid a government shutdown.
The Nevada Democrat also talked for the first time Thursday about Boehner reneging on an agreement between the two over a “clean” spending bill, and admitted he directed his chief of staff to leak embarrassing e-mails that they say indicate Boehner changed his position on Obamacare subsidies for Congress.
Follow @politicalticker
Reid also followed up on his controversial comments from Wednesday, when he took issue with the idea that the Senate should vote to fund clinical trials for cancer patients at the National Institutes of Health during the shutdown.
In the interview, Reid criticized Boehner for bowing to a conservative faction of his caucus that insists on attaching anti-Obamacare provisions to a temporary spending bill needed to fund the government.
“His job is not as important as our country,” Reid said.
While a more moderate group of the GOP caucus is trying to generate support for a “clean” continuing resolution, Boehner has not agreed to bring their plan up for a vote.
“I say to my friend John Boehner–and I do like him, I’ve said that lots of times–John, if you want to really have history books account who you really are, do this,” he said, urging Boehner to take up the clean bill.
“He has to have some courage,” he added.
Clearly agitated at the memory, Reid said the two met in early September and reached a compromise about the end-of-the month deadline to pass a spending bill. Reid said Boehner agreed to pass a $988 billion spending package, $70 billion less than what the senate leader wanted.
“That was really hard,” Reid said, referring his decision to drop $70 billion. “My caucus really didn't like that. We took a real hit.”
Asked if Boehner at the time promised to deliver a clean continuing resolution, Reid said: “That's why we did it. That's why we agreed to that lower number. So that's one of the largest compromises since I've been in Congress.”
Republicans passed a series of bills on Wednesday with majority support that would fund national parks, the National Institutes of Health and District of Columbia operations while the government remains shut down.
But Reid has refused to take them up, saying the government should be funded all at once. The White House also issued a veto threat.
Reid, who's been known to use explosive terms to describe the tea party, defended his choice of words, especially when he calls them “anarchists.”
“Why in the world wouldn't I use the term anarchy? That's what they are, they're anarchists,” he said. “They don't believe in government at any level. That's why we have members of Congress over there today and yesterday saying finally, we're able to close the government.”
He conceded that calling them “the weird caucus,” as he’s previously done, was “probably a little over the hill,” but said he won’t give up on referring to them as anarchists.
“There's no better description I can make,” he said. “They're not blowing up buildings and they're not killing people. But they're throwing much - monkey wrenches in the wheels of government.”
On Wednesday, Bash asked Reid at a press conference why he would refuse to pass a bill to fund the NIH’s clinical trials, which have stopped amid the shutdown.
He reiterated his stance against funding the government piece by piece.
"Why would we want to do that? I have 1,100 people at Nellis Air Force base that are sitting at home. They have a few problems of their own,” he said. “To have someone of your intelligence to suggest such a thing means you're as irresponsible and reckless.”
Republicans quickly seized on his answer, using it to paint the Democrat as uncaring and insensitive.
While Reid admitted he was not articulate in his answer, he said the attacks that followed were “mean-spirited.”
“I understand babies who are sick. I've got a lot of children, lots of grandchildren. I really worry about kids, probably more than others because those little bodies can't take the assaults that we as older people can take,” he said.
Reid also commented on why his staff leaked a series of e-mails between his office and Boehner’s, which, according to Reid’s office, show Boehner worked privately to preserve health insurance subsidies for lawmakers and congressional employees before publicly moving to strip them as part of the standoff over government funding.
“He was behind this all the way,” Reid said. “I did a lot of the heavy lifting, but he was part of the deal. He was there. And then to have him come and try to say, ‘this is bad, Congress is getting something others aren't getting,’ it's not true. … I thought, how could you do that?”
Democrats argue the federal support is no different than what large companies give their employees.
“I told my staff, ‘You tell his staff, if they do this, I’m going to have to go public, because this is something that is just absolutely wrong,’” he said.
A spokesman for Boehner denied Tuesday the speaker was working with the Democrats to find a legislative fix for the subsidies, outside of repealing Obamacare in its entirety and keeping congressional employees on their existing health plans.
Instead, Boehner thought the matter should be handled by the Office of Personnel Management.
“The speaker’s position is clear: He voted against Obamacare, and he wants to repeal Obamacare. If the Senate Democrats and the White House wanted to make a ‘fix’ to the law, it would be their fix. The speaker’s ‘fix’ is repeal,” said spokesman Michael Steel. “This is just a desperate act by Harry Reid’s staff to protect their own subsidy.”

For the first time in a long time, Obama sounds like he’s captured public opinion in his fight against Congress. So instead of trying to convince people he’s right, the president is projecting the sense people already agree with him that the House GOP has gone too far.

reset Boehner: Isn't 'some damn game' Pelosi: Take back your party
Not so subtly, Obama is leading an effort to direct that into a conversation that’s all about Boehner. The speaker’s the one who had the power to shut the government down, Obama and his aides say, and he’s the one who could just as easily toss the opposition to Obamacare, re-open the government and avoid default.
(WATCH: Boehner calls Obamacare “a trainwreck”)
“The only thing that is keeping the government shut down is that Speaker John Boehner won’t even let the bill get a yes or no vote because he doesn’t want to anger the extremists in his party,” Obama said at a Maryland construction company Thursday.
The speaker’s clearly been weakened internally and in public opinion — which Obama seems eager to exploit.
A CBS News poll conducted after Monday’s deadline showed 72 percent of people opposed to the shutdown, and 44 percent of people blaming Republicans. To Obama, those are the sort of numbers that have created an opening to move from warning about the shutdown to complaining about the “Republican shutdown” to, on Thursday, the “reckless and damaging Republican shutdown.”
The Boehner play is the latest in a shifting strategy from the White House — just a week ago, the West Wing were wondering whether Boehner still had enough sway in his conference to even be the one to negotiate with, or whether they’d have to go somewhere else.
(PHOTOS: John Boehner’s life and career)
But if Obama’s right in trying to break Boehner, he may just get the larger shift in dynamic he’s been looking for, ever since the Obamacare argument first went off the rails in the 2009 town hall tea party explosion. If he’s wrong, he risks seeming like he’s gone too personal and too political, seeming like he’s more interested in his own ends than ending the budget crisis, content to gamble the global economy on scoring a few more points.
“It makes sense to create some kind of dynamic where the other guy has to produce,” said former Bill Clinton White House press secretary Mike McCurry.
There are a lot of differences between the 1996 and 2013 shutdowns, McCurry said, not the least of which is that Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich talked nightly, a personal relationship far beyond what’s ever existed between Obama and Boehner. Even with that, the Clinton operation focused on Gingrich as an almost mythic figure whom the president was trying to defeat. But unlike Gingrich, whom they always felt comfortable could speak on behalf of his conference, McCurry said, “this poor guy Boehner can’t deliver squat.”
(PHOTOS: 12 lawmakers who didn’t back John Boehner)
Boehner’s office shrugged at this latest line out of the White House, saying that if anything, it proves how little Obama understands about how to actually get things done.
“No one in Washington has thicker skin than John Boehner,” said Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck. “The White House hasn’t a learned a thing over the last three years if they think this pettiness is going to get them anywhere. The speaker is going to do the right things for the right reasons, just as he’s always done.”
Ironically, in picking the speaker as his new pressure point, Obama seems to be relying on the idea that Boehner wants to negotiate, as goes what’s become accepted as conventional wisdom in Washington: Boehner does not want the shutdown, he knows the position he’s taken to defund Obamacare is hopeless and he’s looking for a way to strike a deal that would get out of this situation, so long as it doesn’t cost him his job.
(WATCH: Obama says he “shouldn’t have to offer anything”)
The predictably unproductive hour-long meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday night didn’t help. Stuck in a shutdown and caught for three years in the larger situation that brought things to this point, Obama on Thursday barely bothered with the feint of outreach. ||||| Enlarge Image Close Reuters House Speaker John Boehner addresses reporters during a news conference with fellow House Republicans at the U.S. Capitol on Friday.
WASHINGTON—Despite a week of budget wrangling that showed scant sign of abating, Wall Street investors shrugged off the federal government shutdown, presuming that lawmakers will find a solution before the U.S. loses its borrowing ability.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 76.10 points on Friday to 15072.58, snapping a two-day losing streak. The 30-stock average declined just 1.2% during the week, despite the shutdown.
Many investors say stocks remain buoyant because they expect the Federal Reserve to continue its efforts to support the economy and because few expect the current clash to continue long enough to do lasting damage.
Some corners of the bond markets show signs of concern over the next stage—a possible fight around mid-October over whether Congress will give permission for the U.S. to issue more debt. But many standard measures of market anxiety, such as the price of gold and the yields on long-term government bonds, aren't yet flashing.
The GOP got more of the blame for the government shutdown and made no progress stopping Obamacare, but the party now has an opportunity to put the focus back on spending, where it has had some success in the past. WSJ’s Patrick O’Connor and Carol E. Lee explain.

The shutdown "doesn't seem to be fazing the markets all that much," said Brian Jacobsen, chief portfolio strategist for Wells Fargo Funds Management LLC, which manages $226 billion. "The reason is, we've seen this coming from a mile away."
Friday brought an increasingly bitter series of volleys between the protagonists and ensured that the federal budget impasse would drag through the weekend. That makes next week a big test of whether the market's calm holds up.
Complicating matters, the lights remain off in the federal government's key statistic agencies, preventing the release of economic data that would help inform investors about the state of the economy. The closely watched monthly jobs report wasn't released Friday.
House Republicans said they would hold an unusual Saturday session to approve back pay for furloughed federal workers while seeking to pin blame on President Barack Obama for the continuing government shutdown, which was into its fourth day.
"All we're asking for is to sit down and have a discussion," Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) said after a meeting with House Republicans. Mr. Boehner has told colleagues he is hoping to spark broader discussions to resolve the spending impasse, find a way to raise the federal debt limit and win concessions to GOP budget priorities.
Asked Friday about the possibility of such talks, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) said he had a hard time deciphering what House Republicans want. "It changes by the hour," Mr. Reid said.
The markets' relative calm has been noted in Washington, with some apparent surprise. Mr. Obama and other top officials in recent days have suggested investors shouldn't be complacent about the next deadline. The debt ceiling currently stands at $16.7 trillion and needs to be raised because the U.S. spends more money than it earns through tax revenue and other income. Without such a move, the U.S. could default.
"I think they should be concerned," Mr. Obama told CNBC this week, when asked if Wall Street should remain calm over the standoff. "When you have a situation in which a faction is willing potentially to default on U.S. government obligations, then we are in trouble."
Jason Furman, chairman of the White House's Council of Economic Advisers, suggested in an interview Thursday that markets shouldn't assume the conflict will be resolved at the last minute, as similar standoffs in recent years have ended.
"It's not obvious to us that this time is business as usual," he said. "We think that's something that people need to understand and appreciate."

Orrin Hatch (R., Utah), top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, chastised the Obama administration Friday for stoking "greater market uncertainty and volatility" with recent warnings to investors about the threat of a U.S. default.
"Comments such as those recently made by administration officials invite greater market uncertainty and volatility, which threatens the livelihoods and savings of millions of Americans," he said in a Friday letter to Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew. "This is irresponsible and threatens to create needless panic."
There have been some signs of stress in financial markets. Bondholders have been selling short-term U.S. Treasury debt maturing in coming weeks. The yield on the one-month Treasury bill due Oct. 31 jumped intraday Friday to a multiyear peak of 0.193%, according to Tradeweb. The yield closed Friday at 0.117%, compared with near zero a week ago. The cost of insuring against a U.S. default via credit-default swaps has also risen.

But gold futures prices dropped 2.1% this week to a recent $1,309.70. Gold is often a refuge for investors. The price of gold has tumbled 22% this year amid discussions by Federal Reserve officials over whether to pare back the central bank's bond-buying program.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange's Volatility Index, the stock market's so-called fear gauge, added 8.3% this week to 16.74. That's substantially lower than the number it registeredduring the market-shaking debt-ceiling debate of 2011, when it hit 48.
The Dow is up 15% for the year and remains just 3.9% below its all-time high of 15676.94, reached Sept. 18.
The Washington clash is "not affecting our investing appreciably," said Brian Barish, president of Cambiar Investors in Denver, which oversees about $8 billion. "I don't think it should be affecting anybody's."
Republicans say they already have taken a step to ensure the U.S. won't default on its government bonds. The House passed legislation earlier this year that would require the Treasury secretary to pay bondholders with available cash, even if the debt ceiling isn't raised to allow new borrowing.
That bill hasn't been passed by the Senate, and administration officials say that paying bondholders while withholding cash from other debtors, such as Social Security recipients, would still amount to a technical government default. It would also be a political hot potato.

A senior Democratic aide said the Senate might press ahead next week with debate on a bill to raise the debt limit. Mr. Reid said, "I'm not going to be determining what we're going to do next week until next week."
The idea of a broad budget agreement—still more an aspiration than a plan in Mr. Boehner's inner circle—is viewed by some Republicans as a welcome exit strategy from the shutdown.
"There's a huge opportunity, if we seize that opportunity,'' said Rep. Charles Boustany (R., La.). Some conservatives, however, viewed the prospect with suspicion, considering it a dodge for GOP leaders to back away from their fight to undercut the 2010 health-care law.
House Democrats Friday launched a long-shot strategy to force a House vote on a spending bill to reopen the government. They employed a little-used procedural measure, known as a "discharge petition," to force the legislation onto the House floor. Even if Democratic leaders gathered the needed signatures, a vote couldn't take place until Oct. 14 at the earliest.
The impact of the four-day-long partial government shutdown continued to ripple through the economy. Military contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. said it would start furloughing around 3,000 staff on Monday as a result of the shutdown. Lockheed employs 116,000 staff, and said it would likely have to furlough more if the budget standoff continues.

Bull sharks can thrive in both salt and fresh water and can travel far up rivers. They have been known to travel up the Mississippi River as far as Alton, Illinois, about 700 miles (1100 km) from the ocean. However, few freshwater human-shark interactions have been recorded. Larger-sized bull sharks are probably responsible for the majority of near-shore shark attacks, including many bites attributed to other species.

Summarize this article:
For this bracelet, you will need thin leather strips or chords, leather or fabric glue, a needle, and embroidery floss in multiple colors. You will also need scissors to cut both the leather and the thread. Clasps are optional. Wrap a single piece of leather around your wrist, and add 2-3 extra inches to the length. The extra leather will be used to tie the ends together when the bracelet is completed. Cut the leather to size. Tape down one end of the strip to a table top, about two inches from the end. Dab a bit of glue to the leather, and then wrap a piece of embroidery floss around it. Wrap the embroidery floss tightly around the strip for as long as you would like, before switching to your next color. When you finish, add another dab of glue and cut off the excess embroidery floss. Follow the same process as above by dabbing on a bit of glue to the leather, and then wrapping a new color of embroidery floss around the strip. Continue wrapping the floss as far as you would like, and then dab on some more glue and cut off the excess. Add as much floss as you would like to your bracelet to give it a bit of color. You may choose to wrap the entire leather strip, or only a bit of it; the choice is up to you! When you've added as much thread to your bracelet as you would like, thread the end of the floss through a needle, and cut off all of the string except for about 1 inch.

IN: Gisele Caroline Bundchen (; Portuguese pronunciation: [Zi'zeli karo'lini 'bitSej], German pronunciation: [gi'zel@ kaRo'li:n@ 'bYntcn]; born 20 July 1980) is a Brazilian supermodel and actress. Since 2004, Bundchen has been among the highest-paid models in the world, and as of 2007 was the 16th richest woman in the entertainment industry. In 2012, she placed first on the Forbes top-earning models list.
Bundchen appeared on the book covers of Mario de Janeiro by Mario Testino and a Russell James retrospective. Also that year Time said she was "one of the few runway models whom straight men can name". For spring 2000 fashion week she opened Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior, and Valentino shows in New York, Milan and Paris. From 1998-2003, Bundchen was in every Dolce & Gabbana fashion campaign, totaling 11 consecutive campaigns with the brand. In 2006-2009, she returned as the face of the brand's fragrance, in a campaign titled "Dolce & Gabbana The One". In 2000, Bundchen wore the most expensive Victoria's Secret Fantasy bra of all time, the "Red Hot Fantasy Bra", worth $15 million and listed in Guinness World Records as the most expensive lingerie ever created. In February 2001, her Got Milk? ad campaign debuted in the 2001 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Photographed by Steven Meisel, she was presented on the September 2004 cover of American Vogue as one of the "Models of the Moment". In 2004, Bundchen co-starred with Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon in the 2004 remake of Taxi. In 2005, she was chosen to wear the Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra again, the Sexy Splendor Fantasy Bra. At the time, it was the second-most expensive bra ever made, valued at $12.5 million. In its December 2005 issue, New York magazine list Bundchen as No. 43 in its list of 123 reasons to love New York City. In 2006, she played Serena, a minor character in The Devil Wears Prada. In February 2007, Bundchen returned to the Milan runway by opening the Dolce & Gabbana's show. She was chosen by Time magazine in 2007 as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. In September 2007, Bundchen was featured on the cover of Vanity Fair's style issue, photographed by Mario Testino. The issue was one of the bestsellers that year.
QUESTION: did she have any struggles?
IN: Rory Storm (7 January 1938 - 28 September 1972) was an English musician and vocalist. Born Alan Ernest Caldwell in Liverpool, Storm was the singer and leader of Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, a Liverpudlian band who were contemporaries of the Beatles in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Ringo Starr was the drummer for the Hurricanes before joining the Beatles in August 1962, replacing original drummer Pete Best.
When Storm became a professional singer, he changed his name to Rory Storm by deed poll, and changed the name of his family's home in Broadgreen to Stormsville. Storm was known for the extravagant clothes he wore and the cars he drove, once buying a pink Vauxhall Cresta for PS800 in cash. A young man was once caught by a porter at Bootle railway station writing "I love Rory" over the walls, and when questioned, it turned out to be Storm himself. The Hurricanes wore matching suits on stage, but Storm sometimes wore a pink suit and pink tie, and during concerts he would walk over to the piano and comb his blond hair with an oversized comb. Their stage wear changed from sunglasses and palm tree-decorated shirts to red (and blue) suits. Storm also wore an Elvis-style gold lame suit. When they first appeared at Butlins holiday camp Storm wore a turquoise suit with a gold lame shirt, while the group wore fluorescent suits. Rod Pont (also known as Steve Day in Steve Day and the Drifters) remembered Storm arriving at the Orrell Park Ballroom for a concert with a boil on his face. When told about it, Storm pulled out a black velvet hood which had slits for his eyes and mouth, and played the whole concert with the hood on. At one concert at Bankfield House Youth club, Garston, Liverpool, in 1965, the stage lighting failed between sets. Storm was upset until someone walked in with a torch, which Storm used to finish the concert. He occasionally used a pet monkey in some of the group's performances, as it attracted more people. At a New Brighton swimming baths performance for 1,600 people in 1963, Storm climbed to the top diving board, undressed to a pair of swimming trunks, and then dived into the water at the end of a song. In January 1964, during a performance at the Majestic Ballroom, Birkenhead, he climbed up one of the columns supporting the balcony, but slipped and fell 30 feet (9 m) to the floor below, fracturing his leg. At another performance on the New Brighton Pier, Storm made his way onto the Pavilion roof but fell through the glass skylight. Storm and the Hurricanes received the most votes in the first Mersey Beat magazine poll, but many votes were disqualified as they had been posted from the same place at the same time and were written in green ink; although never proven, it was thought that Storm had posted the votes. This meant that the Beatles reached the top position, with the Hurricanes coming fourth, even though the Beatles had also been sending in extra votes themselves. Storm was often photographed for the magazine, such as being surrounded by nurses when he left the hospital after breaking a leg during a performance, or playing for the Mersey Beat XI football team.

What is the title of this article:
The Romantic Movement of the early 19th century reshaped science by opening up new pursuits unexpected in the classical approaches of the Enlightenment. Major breakthroughs came in biology, especially in Darwin's theory of evolution, as well as physics (electromagnetism), mathematics (non-Euclidean geometry, group theory) and chemistry (organic chemistry). The decline of Romanticism occurred because a new movement, Positivism, began to take hold of the ideals of the intellectuals after 1840 and lasted until about 1880.

Q: In South America , the Portuguese conquered from Spain most of the Rio Negro valley, and repelled a Spanish attack on Mato Grosso . Between September 1762 and April 1763, Spanish forces led by don Pedro Antonio de Cevallos, Governor of Buenos Aires undertook a campaign against the Portuguese in Uruguay and South Brazil. The Spaniards conquered the Portuguese territories of Colonia do Sacramento and Rio Grande de São Pedro and forced the Portuguese to surrender and retreat. Under the Treaty of Paris , Spain had to return to Portugal the colony of Sacramento, while the vast and rich territory of the so-called "Continent of S. Peter" would be retaken from the Spanish army during the undeclared Hispano-Portuguese war of 1763-1777. As consequence of the war the Valdivian Fort System, a Spanish defensive complex in southern Chile, was updated and reinforced from 1764 onwards. Other vulnerable localities of colonial Chile such as Chiloé Archipelago, Concepción, Juan Fernández Islands and Valparaíso were also made ready for an eventual English attack.
How many total territories were considered vulnerable localities of colonial Chile?
A: 4
Q: Swedish forces entered Poland-Lithuania from Swedish Pomerania in the west, and Livonia in the north. The division on the western flank consisted of 13,650 men and 72 artillery pieces commanded by Arvid Wittenberg who entered Poland on 21 July 1655 and another 12,700 to 15,000 commanded by Charles X Gustav who followed in August, while the division on the northern flank consisted of 7,200 men commanded by Magnus De la Gardie who had already seized Dünaburg with them on 12 July. On the western front, Wittenberg was opposed by a Polish levy of 13,000 and an additional 1,400 peasant infantry. Aware of the military superiority of the well-trained Swedish army, the nobles of Greater Poland surrendered to Wittenberg on 25 July in Ujście after the Battle of Ujście, and then pledged loyalty to the Swedish king. Wittenberg established a garrison in Poznań . On the northern front, Prince Janusz Radziwiłł signed the Treaty of Kėdainiai with Sweden on 17 August 1655, placing the Grand Duchy of Lithuania under Swedish protection. Though Radziwiłł had been negotiating with Sweden before, during his dispute with the Polish king, Kėdainiai provided a clause stipulating that the two parts of the Commonwealth, Poland and Lithuania, need not fight each other. Part of the Lithuanian army opposed the treaty however, forming a confederation led by the magnate and Polish-Lithuanian hetman Paweł Jan Sapieha at Wierzbołów.
What happened first the Swedish forces enterting Poland or the signing of the Treaty of Kedanainial?
A: Swedish forces enterting Poland
Q: After defeating the Bills, the Steelers stayed home to take on the visiting Lions.

A: after seeing a recent review about this Safeway it reminded me of the last time I shopped there and it made me never want to go back. As I reached the check out line I hear the cashier say out loud "oh not another customer. C'mon there are other lanes open. How come people keep coming into my lane?" Now you could make the assumption that he was joking, but I know he wasn't as because a minute later someone got behind me and he again started complaining. I just couldn't believe this guy was complaining about having to do his job in front of customers and co-workers. It was really rude and unprofessional. Look pal, I don't like to go to work sometimes either but I don't sit and bitch about how I don't want to be there. Another thing, the Starbucks thing is ridiculous.

It got stressful taking her to a groomer with barking dogs, blow dryers etc. Not to mention our Groomer of 6 years flaked out on us. I called Green Dog Mobile Grooming yesterday for the first time and had to leave a message. I chose this Co because of their reviews. I left a detailed message with my phone # and wanted to know how soon they can come out. That was over 24 hours ago and no call back. I called again and got voice mail again. I hung up. I understand people are busy but 24 hours is a little too long to not return a call for a potential new customer. I guess I will keep looking. I was really looking forward to having them out especially because of all of their good reviews. Oh well, I guess they don't need our business!

A: | I came here to get a trim on my naturally straight, long blonde hair. I wasn't sure what to expect and am always apprehensive about trying new salons. Since my hair is so fine, I know it can be hard to cut. My stylist did a good cut, so I can't complain about that. The only thing I didn't like was that she seemed in a hurry and that she didn't do much styling after the cut. The entire wash, trim and style took about 30 minutes. She did talk to me briefly about what kind of cut I wanted, but didn't ask how I wanted it styled at the end. She did a basic blow dry which left my hair pin straight (how it usually is). When I come to a salon, I like my hair to be styled with some pizzazz and oomph to it. I want it to be styled in a way that makes me feel like a celebrity when I leave. For this reason, I give the salon 4 stars instead of 5. | Flan2021 | yelp_polarity_reviews:0.2.0 | fs_opt |

Here is a news article: The Parliament’s Complaints and Suggestions Committee is expected to meet on Tuesday to discuss a draft law, introduced by MP Bedier Abdel Aziz, prohibiting the usage of ‘foreign’ names for newly born babies in Egypt.
The law would impose a fine, and in some cases a prison sentence, on individuals who give their children Western names.
“The fine should be between LE1,000- LE5,000 and the sentence should be six months at the most,” MP Abdel Aziz said in a statement on Sunday.
As for what motivated him to propose this law, MP Abdel-Aziz explained that Western names such as ‘Lara’, Mark’ or ‘Sam’ are difficult to pronounce for other Arabs.
“Using such Western names and abandoning Arabic ones will lead to an undesired and radical change in our society and culture. Our sons will no longer be connected to their true identity,” he claimed.
The draft law has caused massive outrage among social media users who have expressed their condemnation, citing it as a trivial matter that the Parliament should not discuss.
Among other draft laws to be discussed this Tuesday is one that would force Facebook users to take out a license, with the agenda of government surveillance of social media, as well as a bill that would impose a fine on couples that break off their engagement without justifiable reasons. ||||| An Egyptian parliamentary committee is due to meet Tuesday to discuss a potential ban on Western baby names. Under the draft law proposed by member of parliament Bedier Abdel-Aziz, giving a child a non-Arabic name could merit up to six months in prison and a fine of $56 to $278.
According to the Egypt Independent, Abdel-Aziz’s reason for suggesting the ban is that Western names such as Lara, Mark or Sam are difficult for Arab speakers to pronounce. “ Using such Western names and abandoning Arabic ones will lead to an undesired and radical change in our society and culture,” Abdel-Aziz added. “Our sons will no longer be connected to their true identity.”
Not everyone in Egypt is convinced. In comments on the Egypt Independent Facebook page, users criticized his proposed legislation.
“How ridiculous... oh how stupid is this!!!!! As if we haven't got more pressing problems here!!!!!,” wrote Facebook user Janice Elwan.
“The problem arises from the citizens who elected this MP who chooses to bring out crazy senseless topics,” said user Emad Gobran. “I believe there is a lot of topics that [are] worth discussion than [this]!”
Some commentators also pointed out that the law might disproportionately affect Egypt’s minority Christian population which is more likely to use Western names than the country’s Muslims.
If the law passes, Egypt will join several other countries in imposing restrictions on baby names. In 2014, Saudi Arabia banned 51 names that had foreign origins, religious connotations or were not in line with social traditions. Among the 51: Emir, Linda, Laureen and Abdul Nasser (the name of an Egyptian president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, who was hostile toward Saudi Arabia).
In addition to the Gulf state, New Zealand, Denmark, Norway, Germany, France and Sweden have a ban on baby names that could cause offense or difficulty to the person with that name. In 1982, when Sweden first introduced its law, it was actually intended to prevent non-nobles giving themselves aristocratic names.
Now the names its government has banned include Ikea and Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (intended to be pronounced as Albin). ||||| ‘Foreign’ names could become a far rarer sight in Egypt’s next generations with the proposal of a new ban that could saddle parents with hefty fines or jail terms.
An Egyptian parliamentary committee will meet on Tuesday to debate a law that would ban parents from using “western names.” Under the law, parents would face a fine of up to $270 (£212) or a jail sentence of up to six months.
Egyptian MP Bedier Abdel Aziz will propose the law to the Parliament’s complaints and suggestions committee and claims names such as Lara, Mark and Sam are difficult to pronounce for Arabic speakers.
“Using such Western names and abandoning Arabic ones will lead to an undesired and radical change in our society and culture,” he told The Egypt Independent.
“Our sons will no longer be connected to their true identity,” he added.
By contrast, many Egyptians on social media have strongly disagreed with Mr Aziz.
“I really can't believe that the parliament has nothing better to do. Add this to the growing list of weird things they want to discuss!” Anthea Gould commented.
Heidi Yanulis shared her sentiment commenting: “This is the stupidest waste of time I have ever heard of.”
Arwa Yasser also commented in disagreement saying that naming your child is a "personal freedom."
If the new law is passed, Egypt will not be the first country to ban certain names. In Saudi Arabia a list of 50 names including Alice, Linda and Elaine were banned in 2014 because they “contradicted” local culture or religion, according to Gulf News.
Denmark’s law on personal names also rejects ‘Pluto’ and ‘Monkey’ while in New Zealand, parents hoping to name new-borns ‘Stallion’, ‘Fish and Chips’ or ‘Satan’ will be disappointed. |||||
A summary of this is? | – While the Senate Intelligence Committee is busy Tuesday hearing testimony from Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a committee of the Egyptian parliament is discussing something a little lighter: a proposed ban on “western” baby names. The Independent reports that MP Bedier Abdel Aziz was set to propose a draft law to the Complaints and Suggestions Committee that would prohibit the use of “foreign” names for babies born in Egypt. Violators could face fines up to $270 or up to six months in prison. “Using such Western names and abandoning Arabic ones will lead to an undesired and radical change in our society and culture,” Abdel Aziz told the Egypt Independent. He also claimed foreign names, like Lara and Mark, are difficult for Arabs to pronounce. The draft law has inspired backlash on social media, with many condemning the proposal as a “waste of time” and an attack on “personal freedom.” According to Newsweek, some commentators have also argued that the law would disproportionately affect the minority Christian population in the country. If it is passed, Egypt would join a few other countries that have laws related to baby names, including Saudi Arabia, which has banned 51 names, plus New Zealand and at least five countries in western Europe. Swedes, for example, are not allowed to name their children Ikea. As for Egypt, the name ban is only one strange piece of legislation up for debate at today’s Parliamentary session. Others would force Facebook users to get licenses and fine couples who break off wedding engagements without good reason. | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_noopt |

Campaigning has intensified in Spain ahead of Sunday's repeat parliamentary election, with opinion polls suggesting another four-way race. | The ruling conservative Popular Party (PP) led by acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is expected to take the largest share of the vote.
A leftist coalition, Unidos Podemos, would come second, followed by the Socialists and Ciudadanos.
But no party is seen as coming close to an overall majority of seats.
The vote was called after the parties failed to form a new government following December's inconclusive election.
Since then, the country has been ruled by the PP in a caretaker capacity.
The campaign has been marked by a lack of enthusiasm among voters, with abstention predicted to be higher than at the last vote.
With an unemployment rate at 21%, the economy remains the main concern for Spaniards.
However there are signs that confidence is recovering as the country emerges from the 2008-2013 double-dip recession known as "la crisis". | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_noopt |

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:
Conserving energy sometimes requires making small sacrifices, and getting more familiar with the heat of summer is one of them. Leaving the air conditioner on all the time is a great way to use loads of energy and keep your electricity bills high. Turn off the air conditioner when you aren't home. There's no reason for your house to stay cool while you're at work. Use the air conditioner in just one or two rooms where you spend the most time. Close the doors in the air conditioned rooms to keep the cool air inside. Cool off in other ways. Take a cool shower in the heat of the day, go to the pool, or spend time under a shade tree. Try to limit your use of the air conditioner to just a few hours a day. Heating a home is another big energy drain. It's possible to reduce the amount of energy you use by simply lowering the thermostat by a few degrees in the winter. Keep warm by wearing multiple layers of clothing and throw blankets over you. Keeping the cool or warm air in, depending on the season, is an important way to save energy. If a window gets left open, your air conditioner or furnace has to go into overdrive to keep things at a steady temperature. Hire a contractor to take a look at your home and determine whether better insulation is required around the basement, foundation, attic, and other areas. Use caulk and seals to seal the cracks around your doors and windows. Use plastic sheeting over your windows during the winter to keep drafty air out of the house. Taking shorter, cooler showers reduces the amount of water your water heater needs to heat on a daily basis. Washing your clothes on the cold setting is another way to avoid using too much hot water.

News article: With Goldman Case, S.E.C. Signals Renewed Toughness
But with its latest lawsuit against Goldman Sachs, the most powerful, most feared and most envied firm on Wall Street, the S.E.C. is sending a signal that it is back on the beat and that it is going after very big targets.
In interviews this weekend, Mary L. Schapiro, the commission’s chairwoman, and Robert Khuzami, its new director of enforcement, said the agency was stepping up both its rule-making and its investigations in the wake of the financial crisis.
Neither would elaborate on the case being pursued against Goldman, but Ms. Schapiro said the commission had recently proposed new rules for credit rating agencies and for the reporting of the specific investments behind asset-backed securities, two issues that were integral to the recent financial crisis.
The Goldman case is not the only example of the agency raising its sights. Last week, General Electric said the S.E.C. had asked for information about reassurances that its chief executive, Jeffrey R. Immelt, made in 2008 about the company’s ability to refinance its debt.
In his recent memoir, Henry M. Paulson Jr., the former Treasury secretary, said Mr. Immelt told him at the time that G.E. was having problems selling short-term debt. G.E. said on Friday that it was cooperating with the agency and that its disclosures were accurate.
The S.E.C. also has joined an international investigation into whether Hewlett-Packard paid bribes to win business in Russia. The company said it was cooperating with investigators while conducting its own inquiry.
“We’re seeing a resolve in the enforcement division that was lacking a year and a half or two years ago, and even 10 years ago,” said James D. Cox, a Duke University law professor. “Americans should take heart” in the Goldman case, he said.
Ms. Schapiro, who took over as S.E.C. chairwoman last year, has vowed to reinvigorate the agency.
“I think everybody a few years ago got caught up in the idea that the markets are self-correcting and self-disciplined, and that the people in Wall Street will do a better job protecting the financial system than the regulators would,” she said. “I do think the S.E.C. got diverted by that philosophy.”
The S.E.C. has adopted an unusually aggressive posture with Goldman Sachs. Though it informed the company in the middle of last year that it might face charges, Goldman did not know until the news was already out on Friday that the S.E.C. had filed a civil fraud lawsuit, according to people on both sides of the issue who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case. Goldman was not given the chance to discuss a settlement or prepare for the announcement, a departure from common practice.
In the long run, the agency’s reputation will rest more on whether it can win its case against Goldman than on its aggressive tone.
The S.E.C. charged last week that Goldman had created and sold a mortgage investment that was secretly intended to fail. Goldman said the charges were “completely unfounded in law and fact,” and that it would “vigorously contest them and defend the firm and its reputation.” Goldman said that it lost money on the transactions at issue.
Goldman has already provided answers to some of the S.E.C.’s questions. In the fall Goldman responded to a Wells notice from the S.E.C., producing two hefty filings — a 40-page response on Sept. 10 and a 16-page response on Sept. 25. In those filings, Goldman said it was common practice for banks to devise synthetic C.D.O.’s — collateralized debt obligations, which are a bundle of mortgage bonds — to suit an investor. Goldman cited other mortgage bundles that other banks created in partnership with hedge funds, where the hedge fund’s role was not disclosed.
Regarding the S.E.C.’S allegation of fraud in a specific Abacus deal by Goldman that was created at the request of the hedge fund Paulson & Company, in which Paulson helped select the toxic securities that went into that deal, Goldman said, “the non-disclosure of Paulson’s role (and its separate hedge in transaction with Goldman Sachs) simply reflected industry practice not to disclose client names.” Indeed, it added later that firms had an ethical “obligation not to divulge client information.”
Not all of the S.E.C.’s recent actions have been winners. Last August, a federal judge in New York slapped down a proposed $33 million settlement with Bank of America over accusations that it had failed to adequately disclose to shareholders details of the financial condition of Merrill Lynch as the two were merging. More than six months later, the judge reluctantly approved a $150 million settlement, but he complained that it was an insufficient penalty.
And the commission has been the subject of three scathing investigative reports over its failure to catch irregularities in some of the biggest investment debacles in history, including those involving Lehman Brothers and Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities. It had even received tips years ago that Mr. Madoff was running a Ponzi scheme but failed to develop a case against him.
On Friday, the S.E.C. inspector general faulted the commission for failing to uncover a possible $7 billion Ponzi scheme at the Stanford Financial Group. Although its examiners had discovered evidence of wrongdoing in 2002, the district enforcement division did not take action, the inspector general said.
Ms. Schapiro said in an interview over the weekend that the S.E.C. shortcomings noted in the recent reports had been addressed in part by the makeover of the enforcement division.
Mr. Khuzami, the new enforcement director, said one of the most important changes was eliminating a rule that required investigators to get majority approval of the five-person commission in order to issue subpoenas, which has allowed the division to move more quickly.
Marcel Kahan, a law professor at New York University, said the risk to Goldman’s reputation was greater than its legal exposure. For instance, he said that Goldman’s stock dropped nearly 13 percent on Friday, causing a greater loss in market capitalization than the worst imaginable S.E.C. fine.
“I think the negative P.R. for Goldman is a multiple of the legal one,” he said. “It’s very bad for business. You don’t want to get the impression with your client that you are doing shady things.”
As a consequence, Professor Kahan said, Goldman had no incentive to settle the case and would hire the nation’s best lawyers to try to clear its name. Similarly, he said the S.E.C. had as much or more to lose, given its record in the last decade.
But just taking on Goldman Sachs is a sign the agency is more certain of its role as a tough watchdog for the markets, said Donald C. Langevoort, a law professor at Georgetown University who formerly worked in the office of the agency’s general counsel.
“The S.E.C. has long lacked the kind of resources that would give them the confidence that they could take on a Goldman Sachs,” he said, “because if Goldman Sachs decides to litigate, you know it’s going to be a war.”
Andrew Martin contributed reporting from New York.

Answer: In NYC, seaman Michael O'Hara (Orson Welles) rescues Elsa Bannister (Rita Hayworth) from a mugging & rape as she takes a horse & carriage through Central Park -and lives to regret it. Titian-haired Hayworth's a platinum blonde in this one; as dazzling as fresh-fallen snow -but nowhere near as pure...
To reveal any more of the convoluted plot in this seminal "noir" would be criminal. It's as deceptive as the mirrors used to cataclysmic effect in the final scenes -but the film holds far darker secrets: From the NY Times: "Childhood Shadows: The Hidden Story Of The Black Dahlia Murder" by Mary Pacios "Mary Pacios, who was 5 years old when she was befriended by 15 year old Bette Short, retraces Short's steps, interviewing friends and associates. She also offered a detailed, if speculative, analysis of Orson Welles -particularly in regard to his movie "The Lady From Shanghai". According to Ms. Pacios, the movie, along with related archival materials, has many of the same ritualistic elements associated with Short's murder. She raises the question: Could Welles have been the killer?" Interesting theories -and with the spate of books now out on "The Black Dahlia", much more may come to light. Fritz Lang's brutal "film noir", "The Big Heat" (1953), was a roman-a-clef telling of the "Dahlia" killing in "The City Of Nets" that was L.A. -but it's the Orson opus that the "Dahlia" had a "hands-on" connection to. In reality, it was Bugsy Siegel (and the Hollywood mob wars of the 1940's) that did the "Dahlia" in ...but that doesn't negate much of what Pacios wrote. Almost all of Hollywood intersected with Elizabeth ("The Black Dahlia") Short and her tale/aura/legacy/curse is encoded in a number of Golden Age films.
The "Black Dahlia" was always on the peripheral edges of "Shanghai"-even before it started filming. Barbara Payton on Franchot Tone: "It was when he was thinking about making "The Lady From Shanghai", before he lost the option to Orson Welles. Franchot said he'd been in a bad state over that deal when he ran into the Dahlia in the Formosa Cafe* across from the Goldwyn studios..." *The floor above the Formosa Cafe was Bugsy Siegel's office and "The Dahlia" one of his on again/off again working "girls".
It gets deeper and darker- After the 1951 brawl over Barbara Payton between Tom Neal and Franchot Tone that sent Franchot to the hospital with a concussion and "never talking the same way again," Barbara said, she married Tone "just to spite Neal." Tom ("Detour") Neal also knew "The Dahlia" (who didn't?) and became obsessed- From "L.A. Despair" by John Gilmore: "The January 1947 slaying of the young, beautiful would-be actress Elizabeth Short, known as "The Black Dahlia", was one of the most grisly murders in the annals of modern crime. A project, called "Who Killed The Black Dahlia?" was being kicked off by actor Tom Neal, a hell-raiser from WW II movies. Potential producer Gene Harris: "Someone will have to come up with a more imaginative business proposition than what has been presented by Tom Neal and his cohorts..." Not long after: "It would be very clear one beautiful day to come, when Tom would sneak up on his pretty, new Palm Springs wife as she lay on their sofa and shoot a .45 bullet through her head." Barbara Payton and Norma Jean Dougherty (later Marilyn Monroe) knew the "Dahlia" and their stories are well known. It seems all who crossed the path of the "Dahlia" (like the proverbial black cat) entered a "Twilight Zone" darkness and/or had an incredible string of bad luck afterward. Tone/Neal/Welles are only a few -and this includes a butchered film called "The Lady From Shanghai"...
"Lady From Shanghai" took two years to be released, thanks to extensive re-editing -and all because Columbia president Harry Cohn couldn't understand the story. It's dark "noir" to be sure -one of the darkest, in fact. It's also a wicked satire on life in the new Atomic Age.
Nicolas Christopher:
"Shanghai" pushes forth an insistent subtext of nuclear apocalypse and contains the definitive noir statement concerning the atomic bomb and the American city. The film's principal murder victim (and there are many), a psychotic and double-dealing lawyer, manically foresees Armageddon at every turn, claiming he can "feel it." He announces that he plans to escape to a remote Pacific island -a particularly acid joke on Welles' part since this was the very year the U.S. began testing atomic bombs at just such a place, the Bikini Atoll, relocating all the inhabitants and destroying the ecosystem. By the time of Bikini, the erotic identification of Hayworth with the Bomb appears to have been institutionalized, with the blessing of the military brass; the first bomb dropped in the Pacific testing ground in named "Gilda" and has Hayworth's image, in provocative dress, painted directly on its casing..."
Its ironic that Orson Welles' broad interpretation of an Irishman is considered a detriment to the film by many. Welles is giving a clue to viewers that "Michael O'Hara" is only the storyteller - not part of the story even though it revolves around him. "O'Hara" contradicts the shark motif throughout the film. Sharks on a feeding frenzy won't stop until there's nothing left. "Michael O'Hara" lives to tell the tale. "Elsa Bannister" causes a feeding frenzy during "O'Hara's" trial and her netted chapeau suggests she's caged in -so as not to devour the human spectators to a Roman Coleseum. The spectators are on a feeding frenzy of their own, gossiping and carrying on about "Elsa" -a human aquarium correlating to the San Francisco marine museum sequence. That's the human condition ...except for "Michael O'Hara". And yet he'll be spending his life trying to forget his past ("Elsa") -or die trying. "Elsa" is part of "Michael" and the tale eats its own tail in the end and the viewer is cautioned to stay out of trouble.
Problem: Write a positive movie review.
Answer: | When ever a film is produced or directed by Mel Ferrer, you can bet your life any of his pictures will be seen for generation after generation. Just having Claudette Colbert,(Ellen R. Ewing),"The Egg & I",'47 appearing and starring in the film will make it even more of a great Classic Film. In this film, Ellen Ewing gets married and then she encounters all kinds of mental problems and even murder. The mystery gets very much involved and Robert Ryan,(David McLean),"Battle of the Bulge",'65, comes to the aid of Ellen and sometimes you even wonder about David being on the up and up. As you view this picture you just about find yourself beginning to understand who is the real nutty person and all of a sudden, you begin to change your mind how the film will end. Great acting by Claudette Colbert and Robert Ryan who played an entirely different role than he usually portrays on the screen. I forgot to mention that Mel Ferrer, was married to a great film star, Audrey Hepburn. Great Classic film, with great Classic Actors ! | Flan2021 | imdb_reviews/plain_text:1.0.0 | fs_noopt |

When looking for advice on how to add value to your home, the first place to go is right to the top. Sound opinion can be hard to come by, so Daily Mail Australia asked one of the leading experts in the industry for an insight into the often murky waters of property improvement. Kevin McCloud, host of lauded series Grand Designs, has a vast and impressive knowledge base when it comes to exactly what makes a property stand out. Iconic Australian architectural elements include the use of a verandah, whether this is a wraparound or just on one side. 'They [verandahs] have become an instant calling card for Australia. In architecture the sun is often a conscious design element, where the sun is shaded from the inside of the building,' McCloud said. 'There's a big push in the UK for houses that are influenced by Australian architecture,' McCloud said. Kevin McCloud, host of lauded series Grand Designs, has a vast and impressive knowledge base when it comes to exactly what makes a property stand out. The British designer, writer, and housing developer is currently in Australia for the launch of Grand Designs Live Home Show, and took some time out with Daily Mail Australia to reveal his tips for adding value to your home. The event is the ultimate home show for those who are looking for ideas and inspiration for all areas of your home, whether the focus is small spaces or complete overhauls, something McCloud has seen up close for over 25 years. McCloud, a giant in the world of architecture and design, said that Australia offered a veritable array of climates and environments, making it a unique and exciting country to build in. 'I think first of all, that Australia is such a varied place to be,' said the designer. 'It's not one climate and one place. From the country to the city, from Queensland to Tasmania, there is so much difference.' 'Some will have a much cooler climate and have sea breezes, and then another will have mountain temperatures. This means that the architecture is so radically different depending on where it is.' The property in Balmoral, Queensland, makes use of the shade element of Australian architecture the country's design is well known for. Shade house in Byron Bay: 'It's not one climate and one place. From the country to the city, from Queensland to Tasmania, there is so much difference,' said McCloud. McCloud, a giant in the world of architecture and design, said that Australia offered a veritable array of climates and environments, making it a unique and exciting country to build in. 'Some will have a much cooler climate and have sea breezes, and then another will have mountain temperatures. This means that the architecture is so radically different depending on where it is.' McCloud said he is envious of Peter Maddison, the host of Grand Designs Australia, because of the amazing landscape and unique elements that the country has to offer for potential designs. 'It's hard to identify one style of design in Australia. There isn't one quality I could pinpoint, and there are such wonderful quirks to the country.' 'Travelling around cities like Sydney and Melbourne I was very struck by how the conventional typography was so different.' McCloud identified elements such as deep masonry and overhanging verandahs as quite iconic Australian design elements. 'They have become an instant calling card for Australia. In architecture the sun is often a conscious design element, where the sun is shaded from the inside of the building.' 'This extends to contemporary 1960's and modern architecture. There's a big push in the UK for houses that are influenced by Australian architecture,' McCloud said. An art deco property in Caulfield, Victoria. The designer said that architectural movements such as art deco are experiencing a resurgence in Australia, and was a 'badge of Australian' architecture, as well as appearing in pockets all over the world such as Miami, Prague, Portugal and South American and South Asian countries. 'It's such a rare and beautiful and odd thing,' McCloud said of the art deco movement, which influence the architecture of this Sandringham property in Victoria. 'The UK didn't get to expand on [art deco] in the same way as Australia- and in New Zealand there are whole towns modeled on the style. It's got a really strong foothold in this part of the world,' said McCloud. 'I have a lot of people saying, 'Oh I want my house to look like this house from Australia,' and there's a real fascination with tiny shacks, and corrugated iron sheds. Transient materials from which so much of Australian architecture is made from historically.' McCloud said that British-born Australian architect Glenn Murcutt, who has won international awards for his designs, drew heavily upon these influences. The designer said that architectural movements such as art deco are experiencing a resurgence in Australia, and was a 'badge of Australian' architecture, as well as appearing in pockets all over the world such as Miami, Prague, Portugal and South American and South Asian countries. 'It's such a rare and beautiful and odd thing,' McCloud said. 'It's a style of architecture that Australia can certainly claim to have taken to heart and made their own,' 'Art deco in the UK was born into such a dismal and dim time, in the recession period after the great war.' 'The UK didn't get to expand on the style in the same way as Australia- and in New Zealand there are whole towns modeled on the style. It's got a really strong foothold in this part of the world.' Zero carbon houses, like this propery in Campbelltown, Adelaide, are the future of Australian design, said McCloud. Sustainability is going to be a strong focus in design in the next decade, said the designer. A 'shed house' on the Sunshine Coast: 'I have a lot of people saying, 'Oh I want my house to look like this house from Australia,' and there's a real fascination with tiny shacks, and corrugated iron sheds. Transient materials from which so much of Australian architecture is made from historically,' said McCloud. The future of Australian architecture is going in a vibrant and dynamic direction, according to McCloud. 'As a visitor in this country it can be hard for me to put my finger on the pulse of design, but more increasingly the direction of the 'shed design' is cropping up. There are great experiments of modernism from the 60's enjoying a revival in the hands of much younger architects.' Sustainability is going to be a strong focus in design in the next decade, said the designer. 'We you start to design in a country like this, because sustainability naturally focuses on using the local environment to cool and draw energy from, you are going to get a much wider variety of designs being created because of the different climates.' And what are the key ways to improve the value of your house? McCloud identified five steps for prospective property sellers to ensure you make the most of your property. 'The first is to employ good people- from designers to architects, from builders, project managers, and carpenters. Whatever the scale of your project, employ people who see the world the way you do,' he said. 'Secondly, don't get too hung up on price, but do pay attention to personal recommendations. Get friends or people you know to tell you who is worth hiring, and use local people.' 'Next, spend money on the bones of the building. Focus on the structure, the airtightness, the quality. You can always revisit the plumbing or kitchen, and most people do, but to revisit the structure is very tricky.' 'Spend money on things you touch. We live in a very visual world, and we forget that we really judge the quality of things through our fingers. It's like dining in a fine restaurant, you want it to be a pleasure. Focus on door handles, switches, tiles. Make sure they are durable, a pleasure to use and move.' 'Lastly, whatever you do, do with conviction.' With these timeless gems of advice, McCloud said, adding value to your house is much simpler. For more advice, the Grand Designs Live Home Show has design and styling options for all projects, and is running at the Sydney Exhibition Centre from the 24th - 26th October. McCloud said that British-born Australian architect Glenn Murcutt, who has won international awards for his designs, such as the above property, drew heavily upon these influences. 'Whatever you do, do with conviction,' said McCloud.
What are the important parts of this article? | Verandahs, art deco architecture, shade houses and 'shed' inspired designs are all iconic design elements.

Article: 11 April 2017 Last updated at 16:32 BST
The passenger who was sitting next to the man taken off the flight told BBC 5 Live radio that the 69-year-old was "dragged off" the plane.
She said that the officer was "very direct with his words".
This clip is originally from 5 live Phil Williams on Monday 10 April 2017
++++++++++
Summarize: United Airlines has been severely criticised after a passenger was forcibly ejected by airport security staff from one of its flights, after no one volunteered to leave the plane.
Article: The police chief of Helmand said that former Taliban commander Mullah Abdul Rauf had died in the Nato strike.
It emerged last month that Rauf had sworn allegiance to IS after falling out with the Taliban.
Tribal elders in northern Helmand say a car carrying up to six people was destroyed while crossing the desert.
The car was loaded with ammunition and exploded, reports said.
Analysts are divided over whether those flying black flags in Afghanistan are opportunists or are directed by the IS leadership in Syria and Iraq.
The commander killed in Helmand, Mullah Abdul Rauf, was appointed deputy commander in the region some weeks after he first declared his allegiance when he split from the Taliban.
The air strike that killed him was one of the first reported under Nato's new mandate.
There have been increasing reports of people supporting IS from across the country. Afghan government spokesmen continue to insist that they are disaffected Taliban, and not a significant new development.
One disturbing aspect is that the name used by IS in Syria to describe the offshoot here is the Khorasan group, using an old name for Afghanistan.
And there is an ancient myth that black flags will fly again in Khorasan shortly before the end of the world.
The Afghan Intelligence Agency also said Rauf had been killed. Nato confirmed the air strike, but not the intended target.
Afghan forces say it has been very hard to call in air strikes under the new Nato mandate since the beginning of this year. This was one of the first strikes to be approved.
The militant commander's brother-in-law and four Pakistanis were also killed in the attack, Helmand police chief Nabi Jan Mullahkhel was quoted by Reuters as saying.
Islamic State controls swathes of Syria and Iraq and has a small but growing presence in parts of Afghanistan.
Correspondents say it poses the first serious challenge to the coherence of the Taliban leadership for many years.
Egypt: Based in Sinai, the IS branch was essentially a re-branding of Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, which first emerged in 2011 in the wake of the Egyptian revolution.
Libya: Three distinct Libyan IS "provinces" were announced in November - Barqah in the east, Tripoli in the west and Fazzan in the south.
Algeria: A breakaway group from al-Qaeda's North Africa branch (AQIM), the IS branch rose to prominence in September when it beheaded French tourist Herve Gourdel. Since then it has been largely silent.
Yemen and Saudi Arabia: The new branches have not claimed any activities yet but the move represents a symbolic challenge to al-Qaeda.
Afghanistan-Pakistan: IS says its branch here represents the historic Khorasan Province - a region covering Afghanistan, Pakistan and "other nearby lands".
Islamic State builds on al-Qaeda lands
Rauf, who spent six years in Guantanamo Bay after being captured by US forces in 2001, was reported to have fallen out with the leader of the Taliban, Mullah Omar.
He swapped the white flags of the Taliban for the black flags of IS and recruited followers in Helmand.
Rauf was then named as deputy leader of IS in "Khorasan" - an old name for Afghanistan - by the organisation in Syria.
The most senior IS commander for the region is Saeed Khan, who is based in Orakzai tribal agency in Pakistan.

A new law signed last year by Mayor Michael Bloomberg requires the release of all public data by December 2018.
In the meantime, officials who work for city agencies may be granted access to other agencies' information in order to help their workflow. And entrepreneurs can tap into the data.
"With the news of the NSA and Prism and all that stuff, people are scared about big data," says Joel Natividad, the co-founder of Pediacities.com, which compiles data about restaurants and schools.
"We're doing Big Data for good, for regular people."
The BBC's Jonny Dymond spent a day in the offices of NYC Open Data and met city workers and entrepreneurs trying to understand - and build on - big data's waves of zeros and ones.

Input: The Hedge Fund Striptease
If you can't market, then gossip. That's what hedge funds, bound by Securities & Exchange Commission's Regulation D not to solicit investments from the general public, have resorted to as they compete to raise money from institutions and wealthy individual investors.
Last year, a miniscule $8 million California hedge fund run by Lahde Capital Management wheeled and dealed its way to a rumored 1,000% return by trading credit default swaps against subprime mortgages. That's the kind of star performance that could turn an unknown like Andrew Lahde into a George Soros. Unfortunately, the achievement couldn't be verified. Morningstar's hedge fund database only had the fund's performance through the third quarter and Lahde Capital refuses to talk to the business press.
After multiple calls from Forbes, all rebuffed, the numbers appeared on Morningstar's database. Maybe it was a coincidence but if it did want to answer the question about whether or not its phenomenal performance was real, reporting an 870% annual return for 2007 to Morningstar was a way of reaching the press and investors indirectly.
This is the uneasy, constant tug-of-war between journalists, hungry for stories, and hedge funds, which seem to want publicity, and yet back away. (Hedgies are the coy ones in the relationship. They flirt. They tease. They show a little skin. And then, just as quick, they back out, leaving you with nothing to go on but a few unsatisfying blog postings and some flimsy news clips.)
Regulation D prohibits "general solicitation." Hedge funds are permitted to sell to those they've previously done business with, or meet new investors through their brokers. But everyone in this game--journalists included--has his own interests. The benefits to the brokers, for example, are obvious: When they can arrange for hedge funds to meet new investors, they pick up new business themselves.
Today there are some 8,000 hedge funds with $2 trillion in assets, and competition for those assets is only going to intensify: Last year, investors earmarked a record $194 billion to be placed in hedge funds, according to Hedge Fund Research. Standing out from the crowd is difficult ... and imperative.
But most brokers, even those that would benefit from making capital introductions, won't look at a fund with fewer than $500 million in assets. Still, some small funds have had a distinct advantage of being "incubated" at a big firm--that is, the big company provides a promising manager with seed money, allows the fund to build up a track record and then uses the track record to raise more money from investors. This enables smaller funds to at least get on the radar screens of big outside investors. Doesn't hurt to start reporting those numbers to the hedge fund databases, either.
Then of course, there is the blogosphere. What's to keep a small fund with very impressive numbers but no visibility from anonymously posting a quick story on a well-trafficked Web site? Like a virus, blog posts spread from one site to the next. In this way, funds are having their cake and eating it, too--in big, tasty oversized bites--since there is no direct solicitation, but the word is out. Too bad for reporters trying to confirm the story: Regulation D gets in the way.
As it happens, the Securities & Exchange Commission hasn't been active in pursuing cases of hedge funds violating that "general solicitation" prohibition. An SEC spokesman could point to exactly one situation in which the SEC sued a pair of broker-dealers for essentially marketing a product to the public (as opposed to peddling it to "accredited investors," or individuals who meet certain requirements that allow them to invest in entities such as hedge funds).
The case, SEC vs. Arvida, took place in the 1950s and involved the former CEO of Alcoa (nyse: AA - news - people ), Arthur Vining Davis, who owned a significant portion of real estate along Florida's Gold Coast. Davis planned to sell some of it to a company called Arvida, and then take the stock public. To spread the word, brokers invited newspaper reporters to their office. Stories appeared in three New York papers in September 1958, resulting in at least 58 people "expressing an interest" in buying into the offering. The result? The Commission agreed that the brokers had "willfully violated" the rule against "general solicitation," but decided not to impose sanctions, since, in its view, "no investors appeared to have been injured."
Hedge fund attorneys say that it's not the SEC who is likely to go after funds for perceived solicitation but other funds themselves, in the ever-increasing battle for investor money. So I may never get the chance to write about Lahde Capital. But Lahde Capital is getting just enough publicity without trying too hard--which might be a blessing for the fund, but a curse for journalists and their less than well informed public.

Input: Community of Storytellers Build Online Library of Human Experience
The online project Cowbird is a place where storytellers can keep audio-visual diaries, write stories and collaborate with others in documenting “sagas” taking place in the world, like the Occupy movement. Artist and programmer Jonathan Harris’s labor of love, Cowbird aims to grow as a community and focus on long-lasting and personal storytelling.
Individuals can document their lives with either public or private diaries that can feature a combination of words, pictures and audio, as well as tags, locations, dates, characters and dedications. Connections between personal experiences lead to larger”sagas” and members’ stories can be combined into a collective tale about a specific event. The storyteller’s writing is organized and can be explored in a timeline or on an interactive map. You can also explore an index of themes in the library or discover connections between your life and the lives of others. You can save the stories you love to your diary so you can find them again and join an author’s audience to view their new stories in your “News” area.
Our short-term goal is to pioneer a new form of participatory journalism, grounded in the simple human stories behind major news events. Our long-term goal is to build a public library of human experience — kind of like a Wikipedia for real life (but much more beautiful).
Cowbird is looking for photographers, writers, filmmakers, journalists, etc. and if you want to join the storytelling community, you can request an invitation.

Oscar-winning actress Joan Fontaine died Sunday, her longtime friend Noel Beutel said Monday. She was 96. Fontaine died "very peacefully" in her sleep of natural causes, Beutel said. She was in her Carmel, California, home. She is survived by her older sister, actress Olivia de Havilland -- with whom she had not spoken for decades. Fontaine was born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland in 1916 in Tokyo, Japan, where her British father was a patent lawyer and teacher. She and her sister moved to Saratoga, California, with their mother in 1919 when her parents separated. Fontaine was a teenager when she began her acting career as Joan Burfield in the 1935 film "No More Ladies." She later adopted the stage name Fontaine -- the name of her mother's second husband. She wrote in her 1978 autobiography, "No Bed of Roses," that her mother, who was an actress, began encouraging the rivalry with her older sister at an early age. The feud extended to their careers when both sisters were nominated for best actress Oscars in 1942. Fontaine, who was nominated for Alfred Hitchcock's "Suspicion," beat her sister Olivia de Havilland, who was nominated for "Hold Back the Dawn." De Havilland won the first of her two Oscars in 1947 when she was given the best actress award for "To Each His Own." De Havilland and Fontaine remain the only sisters who have best-actress Academy Awards. The long-standing feud with de Havilland was at such a peak during one Oscar winners' reunion in 1979 that they had to be seated on opposite ends of the stage. "I was shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of my sister, Joan Fontaine ... and I appreciate the many kind expressions of sympathy that we have received," a statement released by Olivia de Havilland to CNN said.
Question: "How many years did it take for her to get the Oscar after she was nominated for the first time?"
