Shooter Boys and At-Risk Girls | VICE
Topic: Miscellaneous 11:40 am EST, Feb  5, 2013

In December, a New Jersey schoolboy was arrested for drawing in class.

In the post-Sandy Hook rage to blame anything (guns, video games, internet-addicted youth) the easiest thing to blame is always the kid who fails at the blankly inoffensive ideals of childhood. This 16-year-old drew a glove shooting flames. The police searched his house. They found the sort of gutted machines that hint at a proclivity for engineering. He was arrested on December 18, and was still in juvenile hall when papers ran the story on the 28th.

Is the Secular Bear Market Coming to an End? | The Big Picture
Topic: Miscellaneous 7:40 am EST, Feb  4, 2013

The Fed’s extraordinary ZIRP/QE intervention creates an impression of inorganic gains. Without the unprecedented FOMC actions, I am unsure markets would be anywhere near current levels.

Regardless of your answer to our broad question, there is one thing that I believe to be clear: We are much closer to the end of this secular cycle than to the beginning. Many optimists — most notably, famed technician Ralph Acampora — believe the secular bear market has ended. Even skeptics have to agree that we are more likely in the 7th or 8th inning than earlier stages of the game.

LPS Mortgage Monitor
Topic: Miscellaneous 8:41 am EST, Feb  3, 2013

This is a very good data set on the current state of the mortgage debacle:

What progress we've made: Slides 12, 13
How much we've still got to work off: Slides 10, 16

Is your state in the top right corner of slide 14? Mine is!!

Atlanta -> just as hosed as Las Vegas.

Wondering if our local government has considered, you know, doing something about that.

LPS Mortgage Monitor is an in-depth report of mortgage industry performance. The monthly report is based on data from the company’s market-leading repository of loan-level residential mortgage data and performance information, including more than 40 million active loans across the credit spectrum. This data is analyzed by LPS experts to produce more than 30 charts and graphs reflecting both trend and point-in-time performance observations.

Democracy is an important value. But it is not the only value that matters and not necessarily the most important.

“[However], the US government is unlikely to want to get access to data of the average business and will more likely target those engaging in activities which are unlawful or which are potentially against US interests, such as activist, protest or political groups,” said Jennings.

Oh, don't worry, warrantless spying by the US Government only targets political groups...

FISA renewal: Report suggests spy law allows mass surveillance of European citizens.
Topic: Miscellaneous 10:30 pm EST, Jan 31, 2013

Europeans, take note: The U.S. government has granted itself authority to secretly snoop on you.

That’s according to a new report produced for the European Parliament, which has warned that a U.S. spy law renewed late last year authorizes “purely political surveillance on foreigners' data” if it is stored using U.S. cloud services like those provided by Google, Microsoft and Facebook.
