Wed, 16 Jan 2013 20:17:46 -0800 Webcam stream capturing enabled in Firefox 20 - http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/webcam-stream-capturing-enabled-in-firefox-20 http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/webcam-stream-capturing-enabled-in-firefox-20

I have to admit that I never used a webcam in my entire life. I can see where a cam can be a great way of communicating with people who are not nearby, but I somehow never stumbled into situations where I might want to use video chat on a computer. Part of this comes from me being more the silent type who is not that chatty to being with, with the rest coming from the knowledge that everything I say or do on cam can be recorded by the other party without me knowing about it.

Regardless of my personal opinion and use of webcams, I do know that they provide computer users with excellent communication options. Like many other technologies they are part of the HTML5 specification so that users in the future can capture camera and microphone streams without the need for third party plugins.

Mozilla is the third company after Google and Opera that is implementing WebRTC natively into the desktop version of the browser. Gum or getUserMedia is part of the HTML5 DOM Api component that is part of WebRTC. The technology has been enabled in Firefox Aurora and Nightly for now and will make its way in the coming months to the beta and stable channels of the browser once they reach Firefox 20.

You can head over to the test page that Mozilla created for the new audio and video recording feature of Firefox to test it out for yourself. Just click on the video, audio or audio & video buttons on the page to test the current implementation in Firefox. Note that you may receive prompts asking you to verify that you want to share devices, the microphone or camera, with the site that is requesting permission to access them. You need to share the devices before you can run tests.

firefox audio recording

Mozilla notes that gum demos working in Chrome need to be modified to work in Firefox as well which can be attributed to the fact that standards have not been finalized yet. When that is happening, you can expect implementations to work across browser versions.

We still currently prefix gUM as mozGetUserMedia because the standards committee is not yet done defining it. So, gUM demos that work with Chrome (using the navigator.webkitGetUserMedia call) will need to be modified to include the moz prefix.

Firefox 20 or newer also supports PeerConnection and DataChannels features, but they are not enabled by default. To enable them, load about:config in the Firefox browser and set the media.peerconnection.enabled preference to true.

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 17:56:21 -0800 Explosions kill 52 at Syrian university as exams begin http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/explosions-kill-52-at-syrian-university-as-ex http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/explosions-kill-52-at-syrian-university-as-ex

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Two explosions tore through one of Syria's biggest universities on the first day of student exams on Tuesday, killing at least 52 people and wounding dozens, a monitoring group said.

Bloodshed has disrupted civilian life across Syria since a violent government crackdown in early 2011 on peaceful demonstrations for democratic reform turned the unrest into an armed insurgency bent on overthrowing President Bashar al-Assad.

More than 50 countries asked the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday to refer the crisis to the International Criminal Court, which prosecutes people for genocide and war crimes. But Russia - Assad's long-standing ally and arms supplier - blocked the initiative, calling it "ill-timed and counterproductive.

Each side in the 22-month-old conflict blamed the other for Tuesday's blasts at the University of Aleppo, located in a government-held area of Syria's most populous city.

Some activists in Aleppo said a government attack caused the explosions, while state television accused "terrorists" - a term they often use to describe the rebels - of firing two rockets at the school. A rebel fighter said the blasts appeared to have been caused by "ground-to-ground" missiles.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group, said at least 52 people were killed and dozens wounded, but it could not identify the source of the blasts.

"Dozens are in critical condition. The death toll could rise to 90," the Observatory said in a statement, citing doctors and students.

State television - which did not give a death toll - showed a body lying on the street and several cars burning. One of the university buildings was damaged.

Video footage showed students carrying books out of the university after one of the explosions, walking quickly away from rising smoke. The camera then shakes to the sound of another explosion and people begin running.

If confirmed, the government's report of a rocket attack would suggest rebels in the area had been able to obtain and deploy more powerful weapons than previously used.

The nearest rebel-controlled area, Bustan al-Qasr, is more than a mile away from the university.

Activists rejected the suggestion that insurgents were behind the attack, however, and instead blamed the government.

"The warplanes of this criminal regime do not respect a mosque, a church or a university," said a student who gave his name as Abu Tayem.

GRINDING TOWARD STALEMATE

The rebels have been trying to take Aleppo - once a thriving commercial hub - since the summer, but have been unable to uproot Assad's better-armed and more organized forces.

International efforts to find a political solution to Syria's civil war have similarly resulted in stalemate, even as the conflict's death toll has surged above 60,000.

The crisis has driven hundreds of thousands of people to flee the country, many to neighboring Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, where a fire at a camp in the country's southeast killed a pregnant Syrian woman and her three children on Tuesday.

Inside Syria, neither the military nor the insurgents have been able to sustain clear momentum.

The rebels remain poorly equipped and disorganized compared with Assad's forces, despite winning support from some regional powers like Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

The government also benefits from superior air power, used to pummel rebel-held areas around Damascus and elsewhere.

Rebel efforts to assault the capital also appear to have ground towards an stalemate. A witness in a rebel-controlled district of Damascus said on Tuesday the front line between the two sides was quiet.

The streets were still full of civilians, the witness said, despite the sound of shells hitting nearby buildings. He said people were walking around, buying sweets and sandwiches.

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:12:00 -0800 Kim Kardashian reveals she had fertility issues http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/kim-kardashian-reveals-she-had-fertility-issu http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/kim-kardashian-reveals-she-had-fertility-issu

By Randee Dawn, TODAY contributor

Kim Kardashian's pregnancy (with Kanye West) didn't just come as a surprise to her worldwide audience, it took the reality star by surprise, too. Why? Well, as she revealed to TODAY's Savannah Guthrie Tuesday, it turns out she faced fertility issues similar to her sister, Khloe's.

"Khloe has been very open about her fertility issues and I think I was always really kind of quiet about mine, and I have similar issues, and so it was a pleasant surprise when so many doctors were telling me one thing and then the opposite happens," she said. "That?s an exciting moment, you can plan for things like that. So I think it's just such a blessing knowing my circumstances."

Kim, 32, explained she would be due in July, which might make her firstborn's birthday coincide with her sister Kourtney's latest child, Penelope, who was born last summer. (Kourtney was also on hand, as the two discussed the start of the next season of their E! show, "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami.")

Kim also mentioned a conversation she and Kourtney had off-camera about how some large families handle babysitting and ... other issues.

"(Kourtney) said that in the old days, and maybe we should try this ... one sister should babysit all the kids ... so I can go out out or vice-versa and, you know, whichever sister is babysitting should breastfeed all the kids that are there," said Kim.

Kourtney insisted that her words were twisted in the translation. "I said, that's what they did back in the day. I didn't say that let's try this."

Still, don't count on the Kardashians sharing breastfeeding duties. Even though Kourtney said the idea didn't "freak" her out, Kim was uncomfortable with the notion.

Such sisterly discussions will no doubt be the focus of their show's new season. Meanwhile, there are still burning questions about Kim's marital status: Even though her marriage to Kris Humphries lasted just 72 days, he has reportedly declined to sign papers to complete the divorce. "I can't speak for anyone else (about why Kris hasn't signed)," said Kim. "It's a process. ... It's happening, hopefully."

So once that is all taken care of, will there be wedding bells in the air for Kim and Kanye? They did just buy a house together.?

"It's something that we talk about, but I think it's just right now (we're) focusing on the baby," said Kim. "What I've learned in life is -- I was always such a planner, and ... you think your life is going to be a certain way, and the best surprises just happen when you don't plan."

But that wasn't all the ladies had to share on TODAY Tuesday; they returned later on to chat with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. Kim acknowledged that she might actually have her child while still married to Humphries ("I hope not") but also recognized that some of her future is just out of her hands. "As much as I would love to be divorced and we're working on it and I hope it's sooner than later ... what are you going to do?"?

Once the baby has arrived, however, Kim seemed clear on how she plans to parent, particularly in terms of sleeping arrangements.

"I'm definitely going to be a different mom than Kourtney," she said. "I'm going to share my bedroom with my boyfriend, unlike her..... She loves to have the baby sleep in bed with her at night." And not just the baby, said Kim -- 3-year-old Mason is also part of the family bed in Kourtney's house, it appears. "I see my other friends that put their babies in their own room and put them to bed at a set time, so they can go out and have date night."

"Let's see what happens," said Kourtney, knowingly.

"Kourtney & Kim Take Miami" returns to E! on Sunday, Jan. 20, at 9 p.m.

Tue Jan 15, 2013 12:43pm IST

Reuters Market Eye - The rupee is trading at 54.59/60 versus its previous close of 54.4950/5050 and off the day's high of 54.34.

Traders say good dollar buying is seen from oil firms and some corporates are helping pull the pair off lows.

Mild gains in domestic shares and positive sentiment post the RBI's announcement of a special dollar credit swap facility for exporters are likely to limit a very sharp upside.

The pair is now seen in a 54.40 to 54.70 range, say traders.

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 00:19:35 -0800 Commercial Finance & Some Important Considerations http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/commercial-finance-some-important-considerati http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/commercial-finance-some-important-considerati

In UK, commercial finance refers to the process of money outflow to business establishments in the form of loans. Usually banks and other lending houses provide commercial financing which is available in two forms ? Secured and Unsecured loans. The first type requires collaterals in the form of physical asset while the second type can be secured without risking anything as collateral. However, the lenders provide unsecured commercial financing only if they are convinced about good cash influx into business.

It is always easy for the big established business houses to secure finances while the small and medium size business owners struggle a lot to get loans. However, there is also a silver lining for them. SBA or Small Business Administration is a good source of obtaining commercial finance.

Commercial Finance Solutions

The small businesses can also gain benefits by hiring a financial coach or expert who will advise them how to structure a convincing plan for getting loans. The expert being an erudite personality on finance and investment can guide you and other small business owners with a number of commercial finance solutions. The lenders are more concerned about whether an applicant can pay off the loan within due date. Unsecured loan carries more risk and the lenders adopt a stricter approach towards lending.

Here are some essential considerations that one must keep in mind while opting for commercial financing.

What Security You Can Provide

To obtain secured commercial loans, you must place something as collateral. Any of these following assets can be used as collateral to obtain commercial finance:

  • Property (houses or commercial establishments)
  • Supplies or equipments
  • Gains from invoices

If you need a larger sum of commercial loans, the lenders will ask for a security in the form of building or land or other physical assets which are highly expensive. This is because the lenders require more security as they are loaning a heavy amount.? Higher is the worth of collateral, more will be the amount of loan ? this is the simple principle of commercial financing.

If financial climate is not favorable, it is not possible to avail more than 70% of the property value. If requirement is small, loan is provided against vehicles or equipments. Some lenders take a more flexible approach by allowing the borrowers to refinance equipments and obtain what they require for business funding.

Consider Your Credit History

A borrower?s credit history is the most important factor to determine the likely interest he will be offered. Good history, lower rate ? it is as simple as that. However, only a few possess a perfect credit history in these days of financial chaos. Those who are suffering due to credit crunch need to deal with the bad credit loan providers.

Approach Directly or Consult a Broker

Direct approach to the lenders is a common choice but the brokers can provide you with more options. They have good knowledge about market and the available loan schemes too. The brokers can bring you the best deal that suits your financial strength and requirements. The brokers will charge fees for their service but it is worth considering.

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 20:46:55 -0800 Grandparent Prerogative | DanCommunity http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/grandparent-prerogative-dancommunity http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/grandparent-prerogative-dancommunity

Grandparent Prerogative

43 mins ago

Dear Parents,

It was the Sunday after my second child was born 7 weeks early. A well-meaning friend asked me if My Mom was heading to Jakarta that week. I told her I wished that she was, but I had asked my Mom to wait until I was home from the hospital. My friend said, Well, did your Mom tell you that its grandmas prerogative to come now if she wants? I smiled and said that I wanted to respect my Mom?s wishes.

The conversation bothered me, but I wasnt sure why.

The truth is there are no grandmas prerogatives. There are only mom and dads prerogatives. A grandparents job is to help and encourage, offering assistance within the lifestyle and routines of this new family.

I am blessed to have had my parents model balanced grandparenting for me. They have given much love, been available, but never once pulled the grandparent prerogative card. Anytime I leave my kids in their care, Ive never worried if they would follow my instructions.

Whether youre the grandparent or the parent, its important to know that grandmas prerogative doesnt exist. The parents call the shots on how their kids are to be cared for and treated (of course, grandma can also set her own boundaries, especially if shes being taken advantage of by the parents).

If youre the parent, stand firm on what you want for your family. If a grandparent doesnt respect your wishes, set boundaries in place to protect your desires for your family. Yes, you may make some people mad, but your loyalties are now to your new family, not your old family.

If youre the grandparent, check your expectations and remember that your job is to defer to mom and dads wisheseven if you dont agree with them.

The goal is to have a good relationship between mom and dad and grandma and grandpa. Understanding that grandparent prerogative doesnt exist is a start to making that relationship strong! Happy Grandparenting and ?. of course, Happy Parenting!

Love,

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 18:57:59 -0800 Cop knowingly left his child in a hot car to die, say prosecutors http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/cop-knowingly-left-his-child-in-a-hot-car-to http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/cop-knowingly-left-his-child-in-a-hot-car-to

A cop is accused of leaving his baby girl in a hot car to die after killing the child's mother. "He was either going to talk her out of that paternity suit or he was going to kill her," said the prosecutor.

By Eric Tucker,?Associated Press / January 14, 2013

This DC cop left his child to die in a hot car, say prosecutors. Richmond Phillips, seen here in a 2011 file photo, is charged in the 2011 deaths of his mistress and their infant child. State's Attorney Angela Alsobrooks said during opening statements today that Phillips committed the crimes because he was involved in a paternity dispute with the woman and didn't want to pay child support.

A District of Columbia police officer embroiled in a paternity suit fatally shot his mistress before leaving their infant child to die in an overheated car, prosecutors said as the officer's murder trial opened Monday.

Richmond Phillips committed the crimes because he was facing a paternity lawsuit and didn't want to pay child support for a baby girl he fathered out of wedlock, prosecutor Angela Alsobrooks told the jury in her opening statement. A defense lawyer countered that his client "didn't do this thing" and there wasn't evidence for a conviction.

Phillips was arrested in June 2011 after police located the bodies of 20-year-old Wynetta Wright and her daughter, Jaylin, in a park outside Washington. Prosecutors say Phillips shot Wright and then drove the child ? still strapped in the car seat of her mother's car with the doors closed and the windows up ? a short distance away, leaving her to die in stifling heat. The girl was just days shy of her first birthday.

When Phillips invited Wright to meet him at the park to try to work things out ahead of a scheduled court date, one of only two things was going to happen, Alsobrooks told the jury.

"He was either going to talk her out of that paternity suit or he was going to kill her," said Alsobrooks, the state's attorney in Prince George's County, Md.

Phillips is charged with first-degree murder, punishable by life in prison if convicted, along with other crimes. Surveillance video and phone records connect Phillips to the park where the killing occurred, DNA evidence links him to the murder, and he lied to investigators about his relationship with Wright, prosecutors say.

But defense lawyer Brian Denton said his client was innocent and that the case hinged on circumstantial evidence.

He said that although prosecutors have surveillance footage showing Phillips and Wright talking at Oxon Run Stream Valley Park, the video does not capture the moment when Wright was killed. He said the DNA evidence was unreliable and that many people, not just his client and Wright, would have had access to a park where cigarette butts, alcohol bottles and condoms are commonly found.

"They're suggesting that no one else would have been in that park on a warm summer night," Denton said of the authorities.

Phillips met Wright at a nightclub while off-duty and their relationship soon turned sexual. But Phillips, who was already married with another child, ended contact with her after learning that she was pregnant, the jury heard. Wright served Phillips with a paternity suit early in 2011 and a subsequent test confirmed that he was the father of her child.

The two got back in touch as Phillips faced the prospect of a paternity test. He invited Wright to meet her at the park on the eve of a scheduled court date in their paternity case, and Wright was excited to bring Jaylin so that she could see her father, Alsobrooks said.

The two spoke for hours, but the encounter turned deadly when Phillips shot Wright and moved her vehicle with the child still inside. A heat advisory was in effect at the time, and temperatures inside the car reached 125 degrees, Alsobrooks added.

"He allowed her to essentially cook in that car, hoping and praying that she would never be found," said the prosecutor, referring to Phillips as a "deceptive, double-sided man."

The first witness, Wright's cousin, Donna Leggett, testified that she had helped Wright with the baby's care and that she suggested that Wright approach Phillips about providing his share of financial support.

"I told her she (needed) to stop stressing and take the father up for child support," she said.

The courtroom in Prince George's County Circuit Court was crowded with Wright's family and supporters, many of whom dabbed their eyes and wept quietly.

Phillips, who was assigned to a vice squad, has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the case, police said.

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:49:05 -0800 U. S. Federal Safe Routes to School program reduces child injuries by more than 40 percent in New York City http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/u-s-federal-safe-routes-to-school-program-red http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/u-s-federal-safe-routes-to-school-program-red

Jan. 14, 2013 ? The national Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program was funded by Congress in 2005 in an effort to create safe environments for American children to walk or bike to school. Has the program been effective? In New York City, most definitely, according to a new study conducted at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health that evaluated the program here. Researchers found that the annual rate of injury to school-age pedestrians ages 5-19 fell 44% during the peak times for walking to school, in neighborhoods where the program was implemented. Significantly, the injury rate did not drop in parts of the city where the SRTS safety program was not in place.

Findings of the report are published online in Pediatrics.

The researchers analyzed motor vehicle crash data for 169,000 pedestrian injuries between 2001 and 2010 for different age groups and neighborhoods with and without SRTS interventions to assess the program's effectiveness.

Interventions for reducing pedestrian injury included new traffic and pedestrian signals, the addition of exclusive pedestrian crossing times, speed bumps, speed boards, high-visibility crosswalks, and new parking regulations. More than 120 NYC schools were selected by the NYC Department of Transportation for the interventions because they had the highest rates of pedestrian injury.

The researchers created a school-travel time indicator variable to further identify crashes that occurred during days and hours when school-aged children would be traveling to or from school. This time period was defined as 7 AM to 9 AM or 2 PM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday between September and June.

"Our data show that interventions to make the built environment safer can greatly reduce injuries to children as they walk to school," says the lead author of the study, Charles DiMaggio, PhD, associate professor of Epidemiology and research director of the Center for Injury Epidemiology and Prevention at Columbia.

The Safe Routes to School program was funded through 2012, and is now in place in all 50 states at approximately 10% of elementary and secondary schools. Under the current federal transportation bill, MAP-21, the Safe Routes program will no longer have dedicated funding. It is now one of a number of possible programs eligible for funding based on state and local priorities, making it "even more important to evaluate and demonstrate the effectiveness of programs like Safe Routes to School," according to Dr. DiMaggio.

"Our study provides compelling empirical evidence that is essential to guiding policy makers," says senior author Guohua Li, MD, DrPH, Mailman School professor of Epidemiology and Anesthesiology and director of the Center for Injury Epidemiology and Prevention. "It indicates that the Safe Routes to School program has made a marked difference in improving the safety of school-age children in New York City."

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:03:00 -0800 Holistic ? Part 3 :: Nashville Personal Trainer - Life Fitness Academy http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/holistic-part-3-nashville-personal-trainer-li http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/holistic-part-3-nashville-personal-trainer-li

The breakdown of how fitness should be.

Over the years, my experience as a personal trainer has brought about many challenges that have given me the practical knowledge of the sometimes-fragile human body. One of the repetitive issues that come through this gym is injury. Injuries plague us as individuals, more so when fitness isn?t a part of your life. The case could also be made for the same frequency of injuries in the fit clients. When trying to approach the body holistically with my clients, I have let these years of experience educate me into prevention. Instead of waiting for the new client to come in with their exercise prescriptions, which they were given from the physical therapist, we integrate fitness that is in itself, physical therapy. This is how we define prevention and further more, holistic personal training.

I know that it?s hard to understand at first?so I will give you a day in the life?as I plan a workout for a healthy, pain-free client.

First session:
*10-15 minutes of discussion and relationship building. This time helps us form realistic goals and assess fitness levels.
*5-7 minute warm up. During this time we listen and learn from the conversation as a client warms up walking, rowing, or pedaling on a bike. You can hear a lot about a person with just a little bit of conversation while they are under a bit of stress physically.

Fitness assessment:
Now we put the rubber to the road if you will. This assessment is usually done using body weight or plyometric activity, lightly testing the limits of an individual. Whether strong or weak, the client suddenly starts to remember things that they forgot to tell you initially. Maybe it?s tennis elbow or a car accident that has left them less than confident in their ability to hold a wall sit for 1 minute. Take notes and apply them to the workout plan.

What I want you to see here is our diligence in learning your body. This process is essential and each Life Fitness Academy trainer does it slightly different, but very well. I will always start a client in isometrics, whether just for learning?s sake or for healing it?s a foundational set of exercises. Having the client learn these exercises will assist me in teaching them how to correctly engage the muscles moving forward into muscle building. This training graduates into resistance training, keying in on strength through stability and supportive-connective tissue. Now we have a strong foundation?right down to bone density that we didn?t have before! This foundation will allow us to move forward into using our bodies for resistance better known as body weight training-plyometric exercises. From here we graduate into some weight-lifting (if desired by the client).

Applying these tricks with the other parts of our holistic approach to the body through the business model we have set up IS what makes us different.

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:51:37 -0800 'Incredible chaos': Punches thrown, furniture smashed as baby ... http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/39incredible-chaos39-punches-thrown-furniture http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/39incredible-chaos39-punches-thrown-furniture

By Daniel Arkin, Staff Writer, NBC News

Three men and a 14-year-old boy have been arrested in connection with a chaotic brawl at a Massachusetts baby shower on Saturday.

Punches were thrown and furniture was smashed during the violent clash at Club Luis De Camoes, a Portuguese social venue in Stoughton, south of Boston, police said.

"It was quite a scene," Stoughton Police Department Executive Officer Robert Devine told NBC News. "It was just incredible chaos."

Police have arrested three men -- Patrick Lopez, 24; Paulo Depina, 24; Aderito Deandrade, 24 -- and an unidentified 14-year-old boy in connection with the incident.?. They are each charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, assault and battery on a police officer, and other offenses.

Four police officers who responded to the scene sustained minor injuries, Devine said. They did not require hospital treatment, he added.

Police said they believe the brawl began when one of the suspects standing near the bar punched a man in the back of the head and flung a bottle in the air, nearly striking the bartender. Others then joined in the fight.

At that point, a Stoughton police officer working detail at the event called for backup, anticipating more attacks. When the first wave of five backup cops arrived at the scene, the melee was in full tilt at the club, which was filled with over 200 people, FOX 25 in Boston reported.

"Oh my God. It was just nonstop. There would be a skirmish in this corner, we?d go over to address it, and then another one would start up somewhere else," Sgt. Daniel McGowan?told The Enterprise?newspaper.

One of the suspects allegedly crushed a chair and hurled bottles in the air, police said. As the brawl got more heated, at least 15 additional officers rushed to the baby shower.

All the while, police worried that one of the many children at the scene would get injured.

"Our primary concern as police officers was to try to safeguard children in the room," Devine said.

At the height of the chaos, one of the police officers stood on top of a table and pleaded with parents to evacuate with their children, Devine said.

It took police almost 45 minutes to subdue the crowd, according to police.?

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:30:57 -0800 White House opts not to create a Death Star. But a ?magic coin?? http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/white-house-opts-not-to-create-a-death-star-b http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/white-house-opts-not-to-create-a-death-star-b

A number of fanciful ideas on economic policy have been floated in recent weeks. The so-called Death Star idea, officially rejected, was a stimulus plan. The 'magic coin' plot is meant to sidestep a showdown with Congress over the national debt ceiling. Seriously?

By Mark Trumbull,?Staff writer / January 12, 2013

President Barack Obama speaks to workers about the economy during a visit to Daimler Detroit Diesel in Redford, Mich., Dec. 10. The scene playing out on Capitol Hill is a familiar one as lawmakers with competing ideologies wage an 11th-hour battle to avert a debt-ceiling crisis.

Paul Sancya/AP

Enlarge

This much is now official: The Obama administration won?t get behind the idea of building a Death Star ?space-superiority platform? to create jobs and strengthen national defense.?That idea sprang up as an online petition to the White House two months ago, gathering sizable support, presumably coming in good measure from fans of a certain movie series.

Skip to next paragraph

' + google_ads[0].line2 + '
' + google_ads[0].line3 + '

'; } else if (google_ads.length > 1) { ad_unit += ''; } } document.getElementById("ad_unit").innerHTML += ad_unit; google_adnum += google_ads.length; return; } var google_adnum = 0; google_ad_client = "pub-6743622525202572"; google_ad_output = 'js'; google_max_num_ads = '1'; google_feedback = "on"; google_ad_type = "text"; google_adtest = "on"; google_image_size = '230x105'; google_skip = '0'; // -->

The president?s policy troopers came back with a response that included playful humor ("This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For") but also budgetary realism. (A Death Star would be costly, and ?we're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.?)

But building a ?Star Wars? platform for space-based weaponry isn?t the only fanciful economic policy idea that?s been floated in recent weeks. Another one that?s garnered attention in recent days has to do with another round object, a simple coin. Specifically, the notion is that the US Treasury could avert the next partisan stalemate on fiscal policy by issuing a $1 trillion platinum coin, and depositing it at the Federal Reserve.

It?d be a stealth way to sidestep confrontation over whether Congress should raise the official debt limit, so that the Treasury could borrow money to pay the nation?s bills. Many Republicans would like to use the debt-ceiling issue as leverage in pushing for reductions in federal spending.

This ?magic coin? idea, like the Death Star one, has thousands of supporters behind it as an online petition on the White House?s ?We the People? petition venue.

?We would avert the absurd-yet-imminent debt ceiling faceoff in Congress in two quick and simple steps!? the petition states. ?While this may seem like an unnecessarily extreme measure, it is no more absurd than playing political football with the US ? and global ? economy at stake.?

The $1 trillion coin could in theory give the Treasury fiscal breathing room.?Rather than wait for Congress to approve more borrowing ? and see the nation effectively default on its debt if Congress fails to do so quickly ? the administration would employ the coin as a kind of bank account with the Federal Reserve against which the Treasury could draw.

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 00:24:04 -0800 Jamieson leads by 5 shots in South Africa http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/jamieson-leads-by-5-shots-in-south-africa http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/jamieson-leads-by-5-shots-in-south-africa

Scott Jamieson of Scotland had a 4-under 68 and took a five-shot lead in the Volvo Champions, while Louis Oosthuizen faded in the third round at Durban Country Club on Saturday.

Jamieson began the day a stroke behind the former British Open champion, but finished with a 15-under total to lead Oosthuizen (74), Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand (73) and Julien Quesne of France (67).

Padraig Harrington (67) and Francesco Molinari (68) were another two strokes back in the event for European Tour winners.

Jamieson won his first European Tour title a month ago in the season-opening Nelson Mandela Championship. Now he's one round away from earning the "Durban Double.

"It's been another great day. While I didn't play as well as I did the first two days, especially yesterday from tee to green, I managed to score well, which is the main thing," Jamieson said. "So I'm delighted to be in the position I'm in.

"The experience of winning the Nelson Mandela in a playoff under the extreme pressure with a first European Tour title on the line gave me a lot of confidence that I've taken into this week."

Jamieson had an eagle on the par-5 eighth hole after landing the ball 5 feet from the hole with a 5-iron for 198 yards. He also birdied three straight holes from the 11th.

For three days, Jamieson has competed against some of the bigger names in golf.

He played the first round with Harrington and finished a shot ahead of the Irishman. On day two, he was six shots better than Thomas Bjorn, and was six strokes better Saturday than crowd favorite Oosthuizen, who had four bogeys on the front nine.

"You always have your eye out, comparing yourself to them," Jamieson said. "But yeah, I managed to beat them through the week, so that was nice."

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:10:55 -0800 State of the Union Intrudes on Mardi Gras Revelry http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/state-of-the-union-intrudes-on-mardi-gras-rev http://iopnsukis.posterous.com/state-of-the-union-intrudes-on-mardi-gras-rev

Bad news for revelers wanting to cut loose before the beginning of Lent: Speaker John A. Boehner has invited President Barack Obama to deliver his State of the Union address on Feb. 12. That happens to be Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday.

?Oh, my,? said one bummed-sounding staffer for a Louisiana House member.

Calls to several offices of Louisiana?s congressional delegation went out. Boehner?s invitation was sent Friday morning and, at least for the offices we called, the ramifications hadn?t sunk in yet. ?Not yet,? said a staffer for Democratic Rep. Cedric L. Richmond, who represents New Orleans. Noting that it was kind of a slow Friday, she promised to try to run down a reaction.

Ditto for the office of Democratic Sen. Mary L. Landrieu, whose family hails from the Crescent City.

We?ll update this as we get reaction, but Obama could help spice up his speech and make amends to Pelican State lawmakers if he threw beads from the podium.

Still, there is one silver lining: the Louisiana Society of D.C.?s Washington Mardi Gras 2013 Ball is scheduled for Feb. 2 at the Washington Hilton, so Washingtonians can attend that without having to ditch the SOTU. But even that posed a conflict for New Orleanians because it conflicts with the Super Bowl, which is being held in New Orleans on Feb. 3. That decision was described last year by New Orleans Times-Picayune columnist Jonathan Tilove as an ?epic scheduling conflict.?
