This is the first photo emerging of Stephen (we're also seeing it spelled Steven, but NIU announced it as a ph) Kazmierczak, the gunman in yesterday's shootings at NIU. Reports this morning were that a sixth victim had died, but that apparently was a miscommunication between all the hospitals: five victims and the shooter have died. According to NIU, the victims are Daniel Parmenter, age 20,
I love watching Stephen Colbert. The other night, he featured negative thinking on his show “The Colbert Report” in a segment called Stephen’s Colbert’s Fallback Position. He’s worried about losing his job and is thinking of what else he can do for work.

-Day 44. Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.- Author UnknownSo... There's this chick that completely hooked me on Stephen Colbert. He's now on my "list of 5 men" and all because of his sense of humor. Is it weird that I keep changing my 5? I guess it's fine as long as it's not laminated. Please click on this video where he interviews Philip Zimbardo regarding his book "The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil". Watch the faces he makes very carefully.A quote from him on this video "I teach Sunday school Mother F*cker!"I love him. (Stephen not Philip) They removed the video, here's the link.Now stay tuned for a message from our sponsor.Does your husband not listen to you when you ask him not to buy you anything for Valentine's Day? Does he listen to his friends instead who tell him you're playing mind games and you really really want a present, chocolate or flowers?Well, here is our solution: Grab him by the short h
Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life.What is the 90/10 Principle?10% of life is made up of what happens to you.90% of life is decided by how you react.What does this mean?We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.We cannot stop the car from breaking down.The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off.A driver may cut us off in traffic.We have no control over this 10%.The other 90% is different.You determine the other 90%.How?

Consideration of black holes suggests, not only that God does play dice, but that He sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can't be seen."9.

The Financial Times this week ran a column by Stephen Roach of Morgan Stanley, who spelled out why assumptions of "easy asset appreciation" are the root folly of the stock market and real estate bubbles. He also offered a forecast of sorts, best summed up by this sentence:"It is going to be a very painful process to break the addiction to asset-led behavior."By way of contrast, there's no "painful process" ahead that I can infer from Fed Chairman Bernanke's latest remarks, which included: "The Federal Reserve is not currently forecasting a recession. We are forecasting slow growth."As for why Stephen Roach is forecasting a recession, he can speak for himself:As home prices move into a protracted period of decline, consumers will finally recognise the perils of bubble-distorted saving strategies. Financially battered households will respond by rebuilding income-based saving balances. That means the consumption share of gross domestic product will fall and the US economy will most likely

In many ways, I am not a terribly discerning reader. I'll chew my way through books that are badly written to get at the ideas, and deal with prosaic, unoriginal ideas if the writing is good. However, Stephen Hunt's The Court of the Air has the most bizarre mix of superb ideas and bad writing I've seen in a long, long time.The setting is a steampunkish, magic-using, New-Weird-ish one, obviously owing a good deal to both China Miéville and Philip Pullman. The lead characters are not one, but two orphans with unknown inherent powers. There are voodoo-using, Loa-worshipping robots, floatquakes which can throw segments of land into the sky, and restraining orders for those suspected of having wild magical powers. It's jammed with excellent combinations of ideas, some really good, evocative descriptions, and some of the worst dialogue I have ever had to read.
The thing that jarred most was the search-and-replace nature of the nouns. It's as though the book had been written with words like

Whilst it is perfectly reasonable for organizations and individuals who are in the public eye to have a media office or someone who looks after their best interest vis a vis the media. The current trend of every tom dick and harry having a media publicist seems to me to be counterproductive, not least because publicists are paid by results and their success is judged by the number of favorable stories about their clients they plant in the media. Doing nothing and simply advising their clients to sit quiet does not to seem to be an option. We have seen the calamitous predicament the McCann’s have found themselves in when they willingly chose to put themselves into a publicist’s hands and thus their heads within the media tigers mouth. Even now when silence looks their best option their publicist appears to be to planting non stories all over the media, which hardly seems to be serving the best interest of this mercurial couple. The latest were stories that appeared in most of the UK

1. The truthiness will set you free!2. And don't think you're off the hook, voters, you're the ones who made this bed. Now you're the ones who are going to have to move over so a gay couple can sleep in it. Tomorrow you're all going to wake up in a brave new world, a world where the Constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones, created in a stem-cell research lab run by homosexual doctors who sterilize their instruments over burning American flags. Where tax-and-spend Democrats take all your hard-earned money and use it to buy electric cars for National Public Radio, and teach evolution to illegal immigrants. Oh, and everybody's high!

Asia needs to take events in US more seriously, he saysTHE United States could face a consumer-induced recession next year, which will also hit Asian economies, said Morgan Stanley's chairman for Asia, Stephen Roach.Speaking at the World Knowledge Forum in Seoul, Mr Roach - well known for his bearish views - presented what he called a 'decidedly sub-prime outlook' for the US economy.The so-called sub-prime mortgage crisis is 'the tip of a much bigger iceberg', he said. It has started to hit the American consumer.Mr Roach, who has long predicted a US economic slowdown, pointed out that the US consumer is facing the toughest times in 30 years, and the impact on the economy could be acute.He noted that in the first half of this year, US consumption accounted for a record 72 per cent of GDP, or about US$9.5 trillion.'The US consumer is about to take a long rest,' he said, 'and if the US consumer goes, there's nobody on the demand side who can fill the void.' Even China's total consumption
