I'm looking for the name and (hopefully) a source for a movie. I have only one strong and some vague recollections of it to go by.
I believe it would probably be a 60's vintage. My strong recollection is of some of the bad guys in it. They got around in these large black capes or coats and if they didn't like you they wrapped it around you and I think shrunk you down to about 6-8inches high. From memory they didn't speak at all but were the 'enforcers' or 'muscle' for the real bad guys.
My vague recollections are that it was set on Earth sometime in the future and the plot may loosely have involved these baddies kidnapping key people (scientists and the like) for some purpose that I can't recall.
That's all I've got... thanks

This is the email I received from a reader describing a recent Nikon event organized for major authorized dealers in a country I will not mention online in order not to get anyone in trouble:
They essentially explain what happened with Nikon since March 11th (earthquake, tsunami, Fukushima, etc.) and what major decisions have been taken since concerning the product plants situated in the area.
They told us that most of the machines have been moved to a new plant in Malaysia and most of the employees have been moved as well with some monetary compensation. Then, some photo slides of the Malaysian plant have been shown. The new facility is already producing cameras and lenses. Expect to see "Made in Malaysia" Nikon product very soon.
Now, as you can imagine, everybody asked for the D700 and D3 replacement schedule. Here is what the Nikon rep said: "Two new FX bodies will be announced by the end of August. Availability in Fall." Even though the rep wasn't explicit about which current cameras are going to be replaced, it was quite clear they were talking about "old body designs" (guess D700 and D3). Nevertheless, the two FX cameras will be aimed at different customers who have different needs: one camera for "expert" photographers, the other for "pro" photographers. Technical spec and form factors will be significantly different as well.
Could it be that the camera for the "expert" photographers is actually the previously rumored D400? In any case, the major announcement scheduled for the end of August seems to be on track and has not be delayed by the recent tragedy in Japan. All information so far points to the announcement of two new DSLR cameras. The Nikon Coolpix line will also be upgraded, probably somewhere in the middle of August.

"Kim E. Nielsen's richly textured biography provides a more interesting and complex narrative of Macy's early years and the later life that she and Keller shared…Nielsen writes about disability and America's past as well as any scholar today, and she does so unsentimentally and with subtlety, sensitive to the nuance and ambiguity that characterize the best history and biography."—Journal of American History
A remarkable story of a vulnerable woman in a culture that allowed women neither freedom nor power. Still, somehow Anne, an almost blind orphan living in a poorhouse, managed to secure an education and carve out an independent life for herself and her student, Helen Keller. Anne Sullivan Macy is a feminist hero.—Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia and Seeking Peace
"A considerate yet equitable biography of a complex woman whose singular contributions to the burgeoning field of education for the blind have often been misjudged."—Booklist
"Nielsen overcomes all the obstacles her recalcitrant subject throws in her path, and creates a portrait of Sullivan's life that is complex with all its contradictions and inconsistencies."—Georgina Kleege, Disability Studies Quarterly
"Engaging and excellently researched . . . Nielsen shows how tragic Annie's 'secret' and 'shameful' past had been-a drama worthy of Dickens. . . . The extraordinary story of Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller is an exemplary reminder that perseverance in the face of obstacles can yield miracles."—Sidney Callahan, America
"How remarkable it is to learn about the complicated, flesh-and-blood person behind the feisty legend at the water pump. Kim Nielsen's biography reveals so much about one of the greatest teachers of all time, and her compassionate and honest writing made my heart go out to Annie Sullivan."—Rachel Simon, author of Riding the Bus with My Sister
"Fascinating and beautifully crafted, Beyond the Miracle Worker reinterprets Macy's life, challenging the mythology of her work with Helen Keller to reveal a powerful, rich, and surprising personal story. . . . Conveying the complexity and humanity of Macy and her world, this is an appealing biography for general readers and scholars alike."—Susan Burch, author of Signs of Resistance: American Deaf Cultural History, 1900 to World War II
"Rejecting hagiography, Nielsen offers a complex portrait of the woman Helen Keller called 'Teacher.' Especially interesting are Nielsen's reflections on Sullivan's own vision impairment and her lifelong struggle to support herself. It's time we all move beyond the sentimental trope of the 'miracle worker' as we consider the actual predicaments of those who care for and instruct people with disabilities."BR>—Ralph James Savarese, author of Reasonable People: A Memoir of Autism and Adoption
"Kim Nielsen's absorbing biography of Anne Sullivan Macy not only captures the complexity of Sullivan's character, but also offers fresh insights into her relationship with her famous pupil. Thoroughly researched, persuasive, and readable, Beyond the Miracle Worker is both a compelling story and an important contribution to women's history and the history of the disabled."—Elisabeth Gitter, author of The Imprisoned Guest: Samuel Howe and Laura Bridgman, the Original Deaf-Blind Girl
"Nielsen's engaging and comprehensive account of Annie Sullivan reveals a woman of great intellect and complexity who overcame many challenges in her own right. This book will irrevocably change what you thought you knew about the 'Helen-Annie' story."—Judith Heumann, Disability Rights Advocate and former U.S. Assistant Secretary Department of Education
"A significant contribution…Nielsen has provided a learned, readable narrative of Macy, one that succeeds admirably in foregrounding a woman who, during her own life, stood in the shadow of Keller. Their relationship was complex and fluid, but nothing if not tender, and Nielsen's careful scholarship does justice both to the intricacies and to the warmth of the friendship." —Daniel S.

Feb 20, 2013
ALLENTOWN, Pa., Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PPL Electric Utilities will invest nearly $1 billion this year to improve the reliability of the system that delivers power to its nearly 1.4 million customers.
The projected investment of $968 million includes roughly $616 million for transmission projects, and is the largest scale infrastructure investment since the 1960s and 1970s.
About $352 million is earmarked for projects to upgrade the distribution network, which delivers power directly to homes and businesses and includes the poles, wires and substations typically seen along local streets and highways.
Nearly 250 larger projects are scheduled this year, along with other work across the system also aimed at improving reliability, including limiting the size and duration of outages.
In addition to the PPL Electric Utilities workforce, more than 900 tradespeople and other professionals will be working on the utility's system to support the planned work this year. In addition, the projects provide business for industries such as pole and wire manufacturers.
"This is an important time in the history of the company," said PPL Electric Utilities President Gregory N. Dudkin. "The investments this year and the nearly $3.8 billion we're looking to invest over the next five years are aimed squarely at one thing — strengthening our system so our customers can depend on safe and reliable service well into the future."
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130220/PH63433 )
The utility's capital investments have been on the upswing for the past several years. In 2009, the company invested $301 million. That figure increased to $429 million in 2010 and to $684 million last year. Work has included replacing aged equipment and power lines, upgrading other electrical facilities, and building new lines and substations where needed.
The company is investing in automated technology to help create a smarter electric grid, one devoted to reducing the frequency and duration of outages. In addition, it is exploring options to provide additional customer benefits through its advanced metering system, which already provides data for the Energy Analyzer tool.
"The level of infrastructure investment we see today is both unprecedented and necessary," Dudkin said. "Our customers count on us to deliver the power they need at work, home or play. These projects allow us to meet those expectations."

Football or Baseball: Part II
Welcome to part two of my analysis of baseball and football. Let us continue! Here's part one if you missed it.
Why Football is Better than Baseball, Part II
13) The NFL draft is actually relevant.
Agreed. The MLB draft is not nearly as talked about as the NFL draft. Since 1936, the NFL draft has attracted people from all over the world; people come from everywhere to find out which pro teams the eligible college players are going to go to. As long as I can remember the NFL draft has been on TV and everyone I know talks about that last weekend in April.
Only up until recently has the MLB draft been televised and simply put, nobody cares about it. Analysts on ESPN have gone as far as saying that the baseball draft is just not interesting. Some of these baseball players who get drafted do not show up in the MLB for years, if they make it at all.
In football, there are a large majority of players who get drafted out of college and the next year they are either starting or at least standing on a pro football field.
This kind of leads into the next point, which is…
14) College Football matters.
Excellent point. My philosophy has always been, the more years you play organized before turning pro, the better and more disciplined you will be as an athlete.
There just are not a lot of baseball players who go to college, whereas basically all the NFL players go to school. In fact, before some of the football games (when the teams are going through their starting lineups) the players come on and give their name and alma mater. For example, Eli Manning will come on and say, "Eli Manning: Ole Miss."
I tend to have a lot more respect for the baseball players that do educate themselves. Mike Mussina is a perfect example. He attended Stanford University and pitched there for four years before turning pro.
Mussina was never the most overpowering pitcher in the MLB, but he had wits; he was one of the smartest pitchers in the game. He could change speeds like no other pitcher during his playing days. He never threw a 100 mph fastball but it didn't matter. He perfected his craft on the collegiate level before turning pro and he'll probably be a hall of famer because of it.
15) Every football team has a specific philosophy on offense AND on defense.
I see where he is coming from, but I don't know if I completely agree. In football, there are certain ways to execute different plays on offense and defense. For instance, if a quarterback is in the pocket looking to hook up with an open receiver, the defensive end must fight to flush him out, apply pressure on him, and force him to scramble.
On defense in baseball, you have to make plays. If the ball is hit to you, it's your job to ensure an out by making a putout, catch, or assist. I guess you can say philosophies are quite different, but I'm not sure what he was getting at with this point.
In my view, in both baseball and football, teams have to play both sides of the field.
16) The American and National Football Conferences play by the same rules.
ABSOLUTELY YES. This is an advantage football has over baseball. The same rules apply to both conferences whereas the National and American Leagues in baseball have a different format, in terms of one position.
I never understood the designated hitter rule. Why does the AL have it and the NL doesn't? It's an unfair advantage the NL has over the AL in the World Series, not to mention the DH extends players' careers. Mike Piazza, Frank Thomas, Jim Thome, and countless others have been able to keep their careers going because of the DH rule.
I suppose in that regard it's helped players, but to me it's ridiculous. I've even heard people say it should be done away with. Both leagues should go by one rule. Either have the DH in both leagues or don't have it at all.
17) Coaches spend more time coaching in football. Baseball managers only manage.
I can't really speak for this statement.
In baseball spring training and in batting practice and in football mini camp and practice, I really have no idea what goes on and neither does anyone. Unless you are standing on the sidelines or on the field with the team, you have no clue what the manager or coach is telling their players.
I agree that baseball managers are simply there to manage, with their coaches doing a lot of work (bench coach, bullpen coach, hitting coach, base coaches, etc.) but they are also most likely doing a good amount of instructing as well.
Yet in football, there are defensive and offensive coordinators, wide receivers coaches quarterback coaches…and so on and so forth.
I do know that head football coaches manage games just as baseball managers manage games; collectively they are in charge and (in certain ways) dictate what's happening on the field. Baseball managers decide who plays and who sits but football players can take themselves out of a game if they want.
18) Football plays can be diagramed and discussed. Baseball only uses sequences.
OK, it's a point. Football players can literally sit down and map out with Xs and Os what to do in certain offensive and defensive situations. There can be numerous scenarios on what plays are being used and what to do when those plays are utilized by the opposition.
In baseball it's different. When there is a runner on first base and the ball is hit on the ground to the second baseman, the shortstop must cover second base to get the lead runner out first, and then throw to first base to turn the 4-6-3 double play.
By that example, the point is valid. It's just a sequence. The players do not have to diagram a double play and discuss it because the play is simplistic.
19) The climax of a football game always comes at the end. A baseball game can be over by the second inning.
This statement is false. The biggest play in any game can happen at any time. If anyone happened to catch the New Orleans Saints vs. the Arizona Cardinals this past Saturday, the game was over by the second quarter.
The Saints came out and absolutely dominated the Cardinals, and before halftime everyone knew which team was going to win. Just as a baseball game can be over by the second inning, a football game can be over by the second quarter.
Furthermore, a baseball game's climax can also come at the end of a game. It's called a walk-off home run.
20) A baseball game can theoretically go on FOREVER.
This is true. In football the game is designated to 60 minutes, but includes three timeouts for each team (in each half), a 15 minute halftime, injury timeouts, challenges, etc. But you know that unless the score is tied, by the end of the fourth quarter, someone wins and someone loses.
If there is a tie, 15 minutes of overtime is played. Whoever scores first wins. If no one scores, the game's over in a draw. Those are the rules, I did not write them.
In baseball the game can, as stated, go one forever. Aug. 7 of last year comes to my mind. 15 innings of Yankees vs. Red Sox until Alex Rodriguez finally ended the game with a walk-off home run at 1:00 in the morning.
Fun game to watch, but absolutely brutal in terms of time. It was going on forever.
21) In football, team depth matters. The third-best wide receiver matters whereas the third-best shortstop does not.
A valid point. You could be the third, fourth, or even fifth best player at your position in football and still get a chance to prove yourself and play on the professional level.
I'm just going out in a limb, but Yankee farmhands who play shortstop and third base probably won't be seeing the big leagues anytime in the near future. And…does Ramiro Pena really mean as much to the Yankees as Derek Jeter?
On the other side, Sinorice Moss can mean just as much to the Giants as Amani Toomer did; Toomer was a number one receiver, Moss is a second team player. And even though he's a second team player, he's made a touchdown catch in the NFL.
Not to single out Pena, because he has started at shortstop for the Yankees, but other Yankee farmhands have not even had the chance to hit a big league home run.
22) Football features team slogans and cheers: (eg.) J! E! T! S! JETS JETS JETS!!!"
This has got to be the worst reason on this list. I don't even know if I should go into it or not. I've heard "Waltzing Matilda" chants from games at the World Cup in soccer.
"Let's Go Yankees! (Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap!)"
I rest my case.
23) Football rivalries are bitter and plentiful.
There are rivalries in every sport.
The most significant rivalry in baseball and probably in sports in general is (gasp!) Yankees vs. Red Sox (it's a shocker, right?) Other than that rivalry in baseball, I can really only think of Yankees/Mets, White Sox/Cubs, Giants/Dodgers, and Cubs/Cardinals.
I've noticed as a football fan that rivalries among division opponents are more prevalent. I am a Giants fan and I can see how badly the Giants hate both the Cowboys and Eagles. As a Yankee fan, we hate the Red Sox, but really don't care as much about the Orioles or Blue Jays, who are also in our division.
Plus, football rivalries extend beyond the division. I mean, the Ravens hate the Colts because the Colts moved out of Baltimore and into Indianapolis. Now whenever the Ravens play the Colts, the fans in Baltimore feel the Ravens should crush the Colts because in their eyes, the Colts ditched them for another city.
I guess in football things can get rather personal whereas in baseball, everything is basically dominated by the Yankees and Red Sox rivalry.
24) There is parity in football. You can stink today and win it all tomorrow.
I could not agree with this statement more. Equality is where it's at.
When the Giants went on their incredible run in 2007-2008 to win Super Bowl XLII, they were coming off a miserable 8-8, 2006-2007 campaign. They were literally abysmal one year and won the whole thing the next year.
The Miami Dolphins are another example. They didn't win anything from 2007-08, but in 2008-09 they came back to edge out the Jets, Bills, and Patriots to win the AFC East. They were horrible one year and won their division the next.
In baseball, all the same teams are expected to be there at the end–the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Angels, the Phillies…it's almost like we already know who's going to win the majority of the divisions and who's not.
In baseball, do we really expect the Royals to be a playoff team at the end of the year? There are teams in baseball who haven't been contenders in quite some time and are not getting any better anytime soon. Any given year, a football team can win.
Plus, many of the races are a lot more exciting in football; the Giants were in the race up until the second to last game of the year, and really it was any team's title to win. The Cowboys and Eagles were also contending and there was no clear winner of the division up until the very end.
Eventually the Cowboys claimed it with the Eagles winning a Wild Card spot. Unfortunately, the Giants were left out, but that doesn't mean they can't come back next year and win it.
In 2009, the Yankees practically had the AL East won by the beginning of August. The baseball regular season almost got boring toward the end.
25) There is a salary cap in football.
Probably one of the biggest reasons many people feel football is fairer and more equal than baseball. It's a great point and again, it goes back to fairness.
At the end of 2008, the Yankees spent almost a quarter of a $billion on CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, and Mark Teixeira…added on to the $290 million they are paying Alex Rodriguez…and so on and so forth.
There is nobody telling the Yankees no. They can spend as much money as they want without anyone blinking an eye. With that, they dominated their division in 2009 and subsequently won the World Series. I will never feel in my heart that money can buy a championship; titles come from team chemistry and the will to win, coupled with everything going right for the team.
But I can't help but notice how much money the Yankees spent. And if you don't notice a problem in payroll disparity, you are blind. I love the Yankees very much, but they helped create the problem of unequal payroll (even Yankee writers have noted this)
In football, each team is given only a certain amount of money to spend and with that they can sign players, draft picks, etc. With each payroll, every team has a chance to win every year. It's equal, something baseball hasn't been for a long time.
When free agency in baseball arose, it changed the game. And there's free agency in football too, but even the best football player will not make the type of salary Rodriguez, Sabathia, and Teixeira make.
Yet…some people may not know this, but George Steinbrenner learned his baseball methods as a football coach. Quite ironic, if you ask me.
It's a really tough argument. I think there are many great points the author made in his column as to why football has an edge over baseball. I personally enjoy both sports and baseball will always be my first love. But football is a great sport too.
There are some other reasons I thought up on my own as to why football might be considered better than baseball. For starters, the Pro Bowl (the NFL equivalent of MLB's All-Star Game) has no bearing as to where the Super Bowl is played. I think that's a great point.
The team with the better record should have home field in the World Series; MLB just instituted that stipulation to entice the players to care for the game and actually play. MLB says, "Winner gets home-field in the World Series." They might as well just say, "Act like you care about this game and play." Football doesn't have that.
Another reason (and it kind of goes back to territory) is the Super Bowl location: it's always played on neutral ground. The World Series is not like that. One team has an advantage and the other doesn't.
I've read some silly arguments, like football is better because of the cheerleaders. Well, not that it's too disturbing watching pretty girls cheer on their team from the sidelines, but baseball doesn't need them. That's always been my take. And it's not like every football team has cheerleaders. The Giants don't.
Baseball can be looked at as better because there is a game every day, despite the slow-moving action it is fun to watch, and players can be extremely smart and still win.
My overall opinion: it's a tie. Baseball has been around a lot longer than football and it owns the label as America's pastime. It always will. I think there are a lot of problems with the game today–payroll disparity, an unequal playing field on many levels, and greed among the players.
But I'll always love baseball. I've developed unconditioned love for the sport.
I've been a football fan for about seven years now and I also have a great admiration for the sport. It's a fast-paced, high-action, and fun sport to watch. I love the game and even though it wasn't my first love, it still holds a great place in my heart.
But never mind my opinion. What really is better: football or baseball? After what I've written, it's up to you to decide.

1In the seventh month, Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of royal descent, one of the king's nobles, came with ten men to Gedaliah, son of Ahikam, at Mizpah.a While they were together at table in Mizpah, 2Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, and the ten with him, stood up and struck down Gedaliah, son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, with swords. They killed him, since the king of Babylon had set him over the land; 3Ishmael also killed all the Judahites of military age who were with Gedaliah and the Chaldean soldiers stationed there.
4The day after the murder of Gedaliah, before anyone learned about it, 5eighty men, in ragged clothes, with beards shaved off and gashes on their bodies, came from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria, bringing grain offerings and incense for the house of the LORD. 6Weeping as he went, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, set out from Mizpah to meet them. "Come to Gedaliah, son of Ahikam," he said as he met them. 7Once they were inside the city, Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, and his men slaughtered them and threw them into the cistern. 8Ten of them said to Ishmael: "Do not kill us! We have stores of wheat and barley, oil and honey hidden in the field." So he spared them and did not kill them as he had killed their companions. 9The cistern into which Ishmael threw all the bodies of the men he had killed was the large one King Asa made to defend himself against Baasha, king of Israel; Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, filled this cistern with the slain.b
10Ishmael led away the rest of the people left in Mizpah, including the princesses,* whom Nebuzaradan, captain of the bodyguard, had consigned to Gedaliah, son of Ahikam. With these captives, Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, set out to cross over to the Ammonites.
Flight to Egypt. 11But when Johanan, son of Kareah, and the other army leaders with him heard about the crimes Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, had committed, 12they took all their men and set out to attack Ishmael, son of Nethaniah. They overtook him at the great pool in Gibeon.* 13At the sight of Johanan, son of Kareah, and the other army leaders, the people with Ishmael rejoiced; 14all of those whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah went back to Johanan, son of Kareah. 15But Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, escaped from Johanan with eight men and fled to the Ammonites. 16Then Johanan, son of Kareah, and all the military leaders took charge of all the rest of the people whom Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, had taken away from Mizpah after he killed Gedaliah, son of Ahikam—the soldiers, the women with children, and court officials, whom he brought back from Gibeon. 17They set out and stopped at Geruth Chimham near Bethlehem, intending to go into Egypt. 18They were afraid of the Chaldeans, because Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, had slain Gedaliah, son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had set over the land.
* [41:10] The princesses: the women of Judah's royal house.
* [41:12] Gibeon: modern El-Jib; northwest of Jerusalem. A huge pit carved into limestone provided water in time of siege, here called the great pool, lit., "many waters"; cf. 2 Sm 2:12–14.

Om Andradynamiken - Sex, Barn & Familjen [On the Second Dynamic - Sex, Children & The Family, Swedish Edition] (Unabridged)
- $4.99
- $4.99
Publisher Description
"A Family is simply a group for the purpose of sexual pleasure and the rearing of children and mutual economic advantages amongst ourselves. You know, it's a small group. Therefore, we have this actual group. The race wouldn't be anywhere without the family." -L. Ron Hubbard
In his search to understand Man, Ron discovered that there is a single common denominator to existence: Survive! No matter the varied experiences or activities of individuals, everyone is seeking to survive and that is the only common denominator to all life.
Then, examining life still more closely, he further discovered that survival subdivided into eight separate urges or drives, known as the Eight Dynamics. In brief, one seeks to survive for oneself (1), the family and the future generation (2), one's group (3), Mankind(4), all life organisms (5), the physical universe (6), as or for spirits (7) and the Supreme Being, or infinity (8).
The Second Dynamic has long been a source of mystery and confusion, in no small part because previous studies of Man erroneously targeted sex as the sole reason for existence and, simultaneously, the primary cause of irrationality. Not knowing about the Eight Dynamics, these practitioners led many people to fail—not only in regard to the Second Dynamic, but in life itself. That their theories were not workable is evidenced by today's incidence of failed personal relationships, broken homes and troubled youth.
Notwithstanding that it is one dynamic among eight, the Second Dynamic is, of course, important to everyone. It is no minor breakthrough, then, to at last answer the question of how to achieve abundant survival in this crucial part of life. With this knowledge, anyone can discover what the Second Dynamic really is and understand its exact relationship to the rest of their life. And thus, whether as individuals, couples or families, they can finally realize its full potential for happiness.

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. – Two men were arrested in connection with a shooting at a car in Jacksonville Beach on Saturday night.
Dominick Crumley, 18, is charged with shooting or throwing deadly missiles into an occupied vehicle. Joshua Stephens, 25, is charged with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
Officers were called to the 1500 block of First Street North just after 7 p.m. They said they detained several people relating to the investigation.
Police said there was a disturbance taking place between two groups of people in a parking lot, and as the groups argued, a vehicle slowly passed by on the street. The vehicle was traveling so slow that one of the people involved in the dispute yelled to the driver, police said.
Investigators said the driver responded by yelling back and then struck the curb of the street and began to pull away. Police said that as he pulled away, Crumley fired a pistol at the group in the vehicle. Police said the vehicle was struck in the passenger side rear glass.
The vehicle fled the area and called 911, police said.
The two suspects were later arrested.
Police said no injuries have been reported.

What the U.S. Debt Downgrade Means to Bond Investors
Our advice for managing your income investments: hold Treasuries, buy investment-grade corporate and municipal bonds.
Standard & Poor's downgrade of long-term Treasury debt to AA+ is an embarrassment to the United States and the latest challenge to our economy's reputation for resilience. However, bond investors shouldn't get into a tizzy over the rating agency's move. Putting aside the extraordinary jump in Treasury bond prices on August 8 (and the concurrent drop in yields), a result of flight-to-quality buying by panicked investors, you shouldn't expect major moves in bond prices and yields in the coming weeks and months. S&P threw its weight around, but it did not consign Treasury bonds to the garbage pile or question the bedrock principle that the U.S. backs its bonds with the full faith and credit of our government.
The downgrade is not a warning that the U.S. Treasury won't be able to pay its bills or that it will have trouble borrowing money. An AA+ rating shows a "very strong capacity to meet financial commitments," while AAA is "extremely strong," according to S&P. (Aa1 would be Moody's equivalent if it were to follow in S&P's footsteps; Fitch, the third major rater, uses a scale similar to S&P's.) More to the point, the Treasury, in partnership with the Federal Reserve, can create dollars or borrow from the rest of the world in U.S. currency. Swiss, German and Canadian bonds are having a wonderful run, but there aren't enough of these or any other triple-A-rated income alternatives to soak up all the money in search of safe, liquid income investments.
The rating cut comes at a time when Treasury bonds aren't especially appealing to individual investors. Savers have been disenchanted with Treasuries since the end of the 2008-09 financial crisis because of persistently low yields. They are joined by financial planners and advisers, who still consider Treasuries, even with an AA+ rating, to be the globe's best repository for reserves of governments, banks and insurance companies, but a poor place for you and me to find income.
Bonnie Baha, co-director of credit research for the DoubleLine mutual funds, decided weeks ago that a downgrade of the Treasury's rating was coming and deserved. But that doesn't mean she thinks Treasury yields will rise high enough, or even at all, to make government bonds competitive income investments, especially with the threat of a new recession looming. Baha thinks current, though depressed, T-bond yields already reflect the government's diminished credit standing.
My advice: If you own scattered Treasuries or built a ladder of government bonds years earlier, don't sell any of them. Just do not buy new Treasury bonds as older ones mature. That's not because of the credit downgrade. It's because you can get paid more elsewhere.
Treasuries are still suitable for part of an emergency reserve that assigns a higher priority to safety than to yield, says Connie Stone, of Stepping Stone Financial, in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. But for serious income, advisers nowadays prefer corporate and municipal debt. In both categories, it's best to concentrate on investment-grade quality bonds, which means those rated BBB or better. Junk bonds got hammered far worse than investment-grade bonds on August 8, the first trading day after S&P announced its downgrade, and will continue to perform poorly if the economy falls back into recession. For instance, SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield (symbol JNK), an exchange-traded fund that tracks an index of junk bonds, sank 4.3% that day.
For those investing in tax-deferred accounts, Stone recommends funds that invest mainly in high-grade bonds. Dodge & Cox Income (DODIX) and Harbor Bond (HABDX), both members of the Kiplinger 25, fit the bill. The former invests mainly in corporate bonds and yields 4.4%; the latter is a clone of Pimco Total Return (PTTRX), the world's largest bond fund. For high-bracket folks investing in taxable accounts, she suggests municipal bonds backed by essential-service revenues, such as those from water and sewer services. You can find municipals maturing in ten years that are rated AA+ and paying 2.8% to 3.3%, tax-free. A 3.0% tax-free yield is the equivalent of a taxable 4.6% for an investor in the 35% federal tax bracket.

I've noted this before, but it bears repeating: People who root against Tim Tebow don't necessarily root against him because they dislike HIM, but because they dislike the mile-wide lava flow of mass-media afterbirth that accompanies all of his travails.
Taken on its own, it was a BLAST watching Tebow and the Broncos upset the Steelers yesterday. Even a filthy liberal secular fellow like myself was left dazzled.
HOWEVER, now comes the horrible part. Now comes a full week of breathless Tebow banter the likes of which the world has never seen. Think Brett Favre was overcovered? CHILD'S PLAY. That was merely a practice round for what's to come. There's really no limit to the media hyping atrocities that are about to be committed. I suggest you take shelter in an underground bunker stocked with unlimited canned goods and dried biltong. If that's not an option for you, consider these drastic measures:
1. AVOID ESPN. This sounds relatively easy, given that ESPN is horrible now. But you'd be amazed at the ways ESPN can sink into your life without you even knowing it. They've put ESPN into everything: other channels, your radio, most gluten-free food products. You can't avoid it. I can't tell you the number of times I set out to deliberately avoid ESPN, only to somehow end up with Mike Greenberg yipping at me in my car. ESPN will be AWFUL this week. They're gonna go all out. They already had a TebowCenter hourlong special. There's no reason they won't allow a full Tebow takeover of the network for the next 96 hours, ala ALTV. Just keep your head down and try to avoid all things ESPN related. If you suddenly begin hearing Colin Cowherd's voice at some sports bar, FLEE.
2. DO NOT GO TO CHURCH. Take it from someone who goes to church once a year and heard about Tebow the ONE TIME he went over the holidays: You will not find asylum from Tebow hype in a church. Churches couldn't be happier that a churchgoer is finally making some waves.
3. AVOID TALKING TO PEOPLE AROUND WATER COOLERS AND IN GYM LOCKER ROOMS. Those are two places where people talk about general subjects as a way of wasting time and as a way of desperately seeking temporary companionship. This is the kind of place that harbors a nasty strain of Tebowmania, the kind bereft of anything resembling real football discourse. "Did you know he's religious and stuff?" WE'RE WAY PAST THAT, BILL.
4. ABSINTHE. You won't know a thing about Tebow or even your own name once the "green fairy" arrives.
So there are your marching orders. Do what you can. Avoid the contagion.

Todd Solondz' "Life During Wartime," a kinda-sequel to his 1998 film "Happiness," is the most accomplished, complete and mature work of his career. Featuring a great ensemble cast, it will have you squirming and laughing, often doing both simultaneously.
"Wartime" reintroduces us to Joy, Trish and Helen, three sisters wallowing in varying flavors of despair. Through them, Solondz takes a look at a litany of society's ills, from pedophilia to theft to drug use – both illegal and prescription variety to lying and beyond. Burdened by all the sins plaguing their lives, the sisters and those around them constantly grapple with forgiveness, both giving it and seeking it.
Shirley Henderson takes over for Jane Adams as Joy, who tells her husband Allen (played magnificently by Michael K. Williams, best known as Omar from "The Wire") she needs some time off from their marriage. Part of the problem appears to be a long list of criminal and sexually deviant behaviors that Allen struggles with, one of which he can't fully let go of.
U.S. & World
Allison Janney is her typically great self, this time as Trish, the over-medicated wife of a convicted pedophile who, in the interest of protecting her two younger children, tells them their father is dead. She is a case study in denial, numbing herself to the world and further insulating herself by adopting the attitude that "the past is the past." It's a sharp rebuke of the pill-popping, head-in-the-sand cowardice Americans have embraced as the use of prescription drugs has quadrupled over the past decade.
Finally there's Ally Sheedy as Helen, who as the most successful of the three is naturally the angriest. She is a whirlwind of resentment, sarcasm, self-pity and recriminations. She's the embodiment of the poor little girl, whose two biggest problems appear to be her sexual relationship with Keanu Reeves and her fabulous wealth. She is a monstrously self-absorbed hag.
The quest for forgiveness is around every corner in "Wartime," as each character wrestles with what they've done and what's been done to them. Solondz goes to the deepest and darkest corners of America in search of the line past which forgiveness is unreachable, and wonders what sort act might warrant forgetting, but not forgiving.
The toughest trick that Solondz asks of his cast is that they play out these scenes that are so arch and satirical, and play them straight, with all the pain such troubles would actually cause. It's a fine lien to walk, and if it's done poorly what you end up with is a story that neither funny nor sad. But Solondz' cast is so disciplined that they manage to keep the tone balanced.
Solondz is best known for his writing, but his camerawork in "Wartime" is not to be overlooked. His compositions are at times thoughtful and/or gorgeous, and he does a nice job of moving his characters through both time and space. He's also paying much greater attention to color and set decoration -- he's really taken a much fuller approach to filmmaking that pays off dramatically.
"Life During Wartime" finds Solondz at the top of his game and features a brilliant cast deftly bringing to life the writer-director's raw tragicomic sensibility.

Farmingdale State – 61, Purchase College – 58
Farmingdale, N.Y. – The Farmingdale State men's basketball team defeated Purchase College today with a 61-58 conference victory in Farmingdale, N.Y. With the win, the Rams improved to 12-4 overall, 8-1 in Skyline play. The Panthers dropped to 7-9, 5-4 with the loss.
With 10 lead changes in the first half and neither team leading by more than four points, Farmingdale State ended the half with two fast break layups by senior guard Joshua Smith (Deer Park, N.Y.) and led 30-26 at the halftime break. Smith posted 11 points in the first for the Rams, while junior forward AJ Matthews (Brooklyn, N.Y.) had five blocks.
In the second, Farmingdale led by as much as six up until 5:06 when Purchase tied the game on a layup by junior forward Justin Person (Greenburgh, N.Y.). Junior guard William Williams (Bronx, N.Y.) hit a three-pointer at 3:39 to give the Panthers the lead 55-52 and another layup would give them a five-point cushion, 57-52 with under two minutes remaining.
Matthews was fouled on the next possession and sank both to cut the Rams deficit to three, 57-54, with 1:32 left. Matthews made a big block on Purchase's freshman center Joel Neri (Port Chester, N.Y.) to save a basket and Smith took the ball down for a layup and the foul, the Rams trailed by one 57-56. Smith then tied the game by completing his three-point play, 57-57.
Purchase junior guard John Pressley (New York, N.Y.) was fouled and hit one of two to give his team the 58-57 lead. After another timeout, Smith was fouled and sank both to give Farmingdale the one-point lead, 59-58, with four seconds on the clock. He then stole the ball with two seconds left and made another layup with 0.1 on the clock as the Rams took the 61-58 victory.
The high scorer for Farmingdale State was Smith with a game-high 27 points, while Matthews finished with 19 points, 14 rebounds and seven blocks.
For Purchase, Pressley led with 19 points. Person finished with eight points and a team-high 12 rebounds.
The Rams will travel next to face Old Westbury on Wednesday, January 25th at 8:00 p.m. in another conference match-up.

Citizen Video Evidence Helps Two Arrested Photographers Have Their Cases Dropped
from the filming-police-is-a-right deptJust as we've seen the DOJ come out and scold police for taking away people's rights by arresting people photographing or videotaping police, we have two separate stories (found via PetaPixel) of photographers who were arrested by police for taking photos of public protests, both of whom had their cases dropped due to videotaped evidence from others that was posted to YouTube.
The two cases were unrelated, but have a similar fact pattern (and one not particularly different than previous stories we've seen). One case, in Seattle, involved a photographer named Joshua Garland, who started photographing recent protests in downtown Seattle, and was arrested and charged with third degree assault supposedly for "grabbing a police officer's hand and twisting his arm." Garland's lawyer, Andrea Robertson, went on YouTube and was able to piece together videos of the incident, which she then showed to prosecutors, saying that the video footage made it clear "there was absolutely no way that the officer's account of events is what actually happened." Because of that, police dropped the charges.
Meanwhile, dealing with a similar issue in New York, photographer Alexander Arbuckle actually went to trial, where, once again someone else's YouTube footage helped exonerate him (and show that the police appeared to lie). In this case, he was charged with "disorderly conduct" (which we see a lot in cases where police arrest photographers for photographing or videotaping them. The police officer claimed, under oath in court, that Arbuckle was in the street and blocking traffic, leading to the arrest.
Thankfully (or, if you're the police, unfortunately), there was a lot of evidence contradicting that statement. This included Arbuckle's own photos, which were taken from the sidewalk, and (more importantly) a Ustream video from a guy named Tim Pool "showed that not only was Arbuckle on the sidewalk, so were all the other protestors." As the Village Voice notes, "the only thing blocking traffic on 13th Street that night was the police themselves." Here's the video, with the key section being from 31:50 until about 35:00.
As Petapixel points out, this certainly suggests that the police lied under oath.
Oh, and a bit of irony: Arbuckle was at that protest to try to document the cops' side of the story, saying that he felt the media had been unfair in covering the police, portraying them as aggressors, when he didn't believe that was true. Yeah.
Either way, this highlights a couple of related points:
- Police across the country continue to arrest photographers on completely bogus charges -- despite courts (and the Justice Department) making it clear that this is legal activity. In at least some cases, it appears that they are then willing to lie about it in court.
- Similarly, this demonstrates the importance of being able to photograph and film police while on duty, to provide evidence when there is wrongdoing. That the "wrongdoing" involved incorrectly arresting other photographers only serves to make this point even stronger.

Talk:ACPI Wakeup
Does this only work on x86_64?
Works fine on X86_32 for me --Benjsc 12:56, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
It works on 32 bit as well. If you miss /proc/acpi/alarm then it seems that this dissapears if you run smp.
Does anyone have experience with the Via EPIA boards? I'm not able to get it working and thus still use nvram-wakeup...
How do I use ACPI wakeups with MythWelcome? The instructions for it are all for using it with nvram-wakeup. --Turpie 11:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/2838 Looks like capability for ACPI with MythWelcome is coming. Hopefully we'll see an update to the WIKI once 0.21 comes out or sooner if someone with svn version gets ambitious.
2.6.22 Kernels
I just updated my fedora 7 kernel and apparently the 2.6.22 linux kernel removes the /proc/acpi/alarm feature, see http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/22/320 does anyone know the new method for these new kernels? --Vossman 06:18, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
There is no documentation, only some hidden description in the git commit that introduced this feature. So I wrote some short documentation, but it isn't included in the source tree yet, AFAIK.
It can be found here:
strage stript for the wakealarm feature in new kernels
The script is somewhat strange in some parts.
#!/bin/sh # $1 is the --settime switch that nvram-wakeup normally expects # $2 is the date/time in seconds since 1970 DATE=`date -d "1970-01-01 $2 sec" "+%F %H:%M:%S" -u` SECS=`date -d "1970-01-01 $2 sec" "+%s" -u`
Why is the argument $2, which is seconds since epoch, converted into seconds since epoch? I think that part can be scratched. Just echo $2 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm should do fine (at least it does for me)
# Save the wakeup time echo "$*" > /myth.wakeup.args echo $DATE > /myth.wakeup.time echo $SECS > /myth.wakeup.secs
Why are files written into the root directory? Just scratching the "> /myth.wakeup.args" should be fine, as the echo output can be seen in the backend log then.
- Good work guys. Correct me if I am wrong, but can't you just write:
and skip the whole date command? Or does it need to be converted. --Vossman 04:29, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

My Estoril blue vert with a manual trans. It was a 99 and I got it with 100k for $4500. Other than the a couple rips in the drivers seat it was nearly perfect and had all its maintenance kept up on. So far it's been 10x as reliable as our VW.
I love them but I could never live with the steering wheel. Any upgrades that keep the airbag? Not that a 13-18 year old airbag would be that great. Well there are some 18 year old airbags that I'd love to cushion my face at a high rate of speed, but that's neither here nor there.

Dan, what headlights are those and how did you wire the city lights?
I just bought a nicely kept 1997 M3 Sedan. Its in amazingly good shape, never seen a winter despite living all of its life in Vermont. Everything except the radio works, has a few light mods (drilled rotors, bilstein shocks, wheels). Only issue I had originally is that its an automatic, but for my purposes (daily driver in city traffic, occasional baby hauler), I kind of like having it. Has 136k miles, and I bought it for $5900, which as far as I can tell is a very decent price.

Sounds like a great deal.
Posted this one here before, but last year we found this '93 325i for $1200 and drove it home for my kid's GF.
It's needed a water pump and a coil pack and a basic tuenup, but that's it mechanically. It also needed both front window regulators because the PO trashed them trying to install a **** stereo system. Luckily he hadn't had it long enough to truly trash it and was using the money to go buy another Civic. It's been a good car for her since we got it.

The Fourth of July is upon us and there is no shortage of festivities to celebrate the country's independence.
For those who are traveling to party it up in a big city, firework shows, barbecues, parades and music events are planned in Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth and Miami.
Here are other big July 4 events around the country:
U.S. & World
New York City
Every summer, Macy's lights up the Manhattan skyline with over 40,000 fireworks on July 4. This year's show is directed by Usher and will feature an all-star line-up including Mariah Carey and Taylor Swift beginning at 8 pm. EDT. It will be televised live on NBC on the eastern and central time zones, and at 8 p.m. PT on the west coast. Check out the full celebrity guest list here.
For revelers who prefer to celebrate far from the fireworks show on the Hudson River, NBC New York has rounded up some of the best July 4th events New York City has to offer.
And finally, what better way to celebrate Independence Day than to pay a visit Lady Liberty herself? The Statue of Liberty is finally ready to receive visitors on July 4 after months of cleanup and damage repair from Hurricane Sandy.
Philadelphia is the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence, which makes it the perfect location for one of the country's biggest Independence Day celebrations. The Welcome America festivities started 10 days before July 4th and events includes concerts, a parade, food fests and a fireworks show.
Check out some of these other events in and around Philadelphia on the Fourth of July.
Washington, D.C.
For those who happen to be in the nation's capital on July 4, head to the National Mall to check the annual Capitol Fourth display of fireworks and free music. Or check out some of these other events in Washington, D.C.
For 40 years, the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular has dazzled Bostonians and visitors alike with their fireworks display and music in an event that is broadcasted on primetime to over 7 million viewers.
Seattle's Summer Seafair Fourth almost didn't happen this year when the organizers found themselves short on funding. Fortunately, rescue came in the form of some major corporate donations and the annual fireworks show will take place as scheduled.
Nashville, Tenn.
What better place to take on Independence Day with some great music than in Music City? Nasville's Let Freedom Sing! event will include performances from The Band Perry, Keb' Mo', the Nashville Symphony and a spectacular fireworks show to top it all off.

It is possible to have units retreat to your base at any time. Retreating will cancel all negative effects as well as increase defense values and movement speed. However, the unit cannot be controlled until it reached the base via a more or less random path.
Failing to retreat a unit, especially when pinned down, often results in the loss of the whole group. Retreating too early loses offensive strength in battle. How do I recognize the best time to issue the command?

BALTIMORE — During the first day of their fall meeting in Baltimore, the U.S. bishops discussed themes and priorities for their work as a whole, including evangelization, the family and Catholic education.
They heard a report from the conference's National Advisory Council, a 48-member group of laity, clergy and religious of various ages, locations, ethnicities and occupations, who meet to offer input on topics discussed by the bishops.
The council supports a continued focus on evangelization and education, the development of a formal statement on pornography, a peaceful solution to the Syrian conflict and an extension of the bishops' "Call to Prayer" for life, marriage and religious liberty.
In addition, the group supports a spokesperson for the president of the bishops' conference and called for a review of the federal government's new Common Core State Standards to see how they will impact Catholic education.
Archbishop J. Peter Sartain of Seattle, who chairs the conference's Committee on Priorities and Plans, offered an update on the bishops' New Evangelization-themed strategic plan for 2013-2016, which was approved unanimously by the bishops last year.
Critical to the strategic plan are the goals of protecting human life and dignity, strengthening marriage and family life, promoting religious liberty and improving faith formation and sacramental practice.
In the past year, Archbishop Sartain said, the conference's committees have made "important progress" towards these priorities, working to provide resources to promote the sacrament of reconciliation, coordinate U.S. participate in World Youth Day this summer and develop online New Evangelization toolkits as a resource for dioceses.
At the same time, committees have worked to strengthen the people's understanding of Christian vocation and witness, enhance intercultural competencies, create effective communication strategies, exercise stewardship and promote vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
At the suggestion of Archbishop Emeritus Joseph Fiorenza of Galveston-Houston, Archbishop Sartain also reiterated the importance of keeping in mind Pope Francis' call to be "a Church for the poor and a Church of the poor," while working towards the conference's priorities.
Mother Tallon's Cause
The bishops also carried out a canonical episcopal consultation — a required step in the Church's canonization process — for Mother Mary Teresa Tallon, servant of God. After hearing a presentation from Cardinal Dolan, the local prelate promoting Mother Tallon's cause, the body of bishops approved a request to move forward on her sainthood cause.
Born in Waterville, N.Y., in 1867, Tallon worked with poor children as a Catholic schoolteacher after joining the Holy Cross Sisters when she was 19. She founded the Parish Visitors of Mary Immaculate in 1920 as a way to offer personal door-to-door ministry in New York.
Mother Tallon died in 1954, but her community continues to work in religious education and door-to-door family visitation in dioceses throughout the U.S., as well as Nigeria and the Philippines.
Synod Discussion
In addition, the bishops discussed practical considerations in gathering data requested by the Vatican in anticipation of the Extraordinary Synod of Bishops next October, which will explore the theme of "The Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelization."
"There's a great enthusiasm for the synod," Cardinal Dolan observed as he opened a discussion on how to best gather data.
The bishops have been asked by the Holy See to collect information on the state of marriage and family in the U.S. Church in order to help address pastoral questions of how to minister to those living in irregular family situations, among other things.
While confirming that "the questionnaire is intended for the bishops," Cardinal Dolan noted that the bishops can consult various groups and individuals in compiling their answers. Some bishops said they are seeking input from the faithful over the Internet, while others are contacting pastoral councils and other diocesan organizations to gain the data needed to prepare for the synod.

And more than just being reliable, ThinkPads are rugged laptops built to a set of military standards designed to test durability, ruggedness, and reliability.

Some models, like the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, offer advanced features like fingerprint and facial recognition, so your company's security never comes at the cost of convenience.
Ultimately, you get to decide how to run your business. Choose models that run Windows 10 and Office 365 for maximum program compatibility, or go cloud-based with a Chromebook that runs Chrome OS for on-the-go flexibility. If you need more info to make that choice, start with this comprehensive guide on Chromebook vs. Laptops. Either way, you can be sure you're getting a reliable, business-ready computer.
Best laptops for accounting

Fortunately, most of our ThinkPad and IdeaPad laptops are designed with a numerical keypad that feels great to use for marathon sessions. These laptops also boast a secure fingerprint reader that logs you into Windows in less than two seconds, so you can get right to business.
Best laptops for IT
IT workers analyze tremendous amounts of data, design complex networks, and develop software that can meet the company's digital goals. The best laptops for IT have speedy processors, as much RAM as possible, and an SSD that can access data quickly. Of course, IT work needs to be undertaken in a secure environment, and our ThinkPads excel in that regard. Models like the ThinkPad X1 Extreme offer robust biometric and encryption security in a lightweight package, making it the laptop of choice for IT admins.
Upgrade to a Windows 10 PC
Business laptops should always be up to date with the latest security protections to safeguard your valuable data. If you're still using a Windows 7 laptop, your system is now vulnerable. Windows 7 no longer receives any new patches or software updates. You're still able to use the OS, but it's a prime target for hackers looking to exploit security weaknesses.
To avoid being targeted by malevolent hackers or having your data compromised, we highly recommend upgrading to a Windows 10 PC. It's easy to transfer your files from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and the upgrading process is pain-free. With a similar layout and advanced features, Windows 10 will feel natural for employees familiar with Windows 7.
You'll need a computer with at least a 2GHz processor and 4GB of RAM to run Windows 10 smoothly, but the good news is that most modern systems have much faster specs. If it's time to upgrade your PC as well, your business will love the ThinkPad laptop line. Every ThinkPad comes equipped with Windows 10, a powerful Intel or AMD processor, and at least 4GB of RAM. It's ready to unleash your productivity.
