Many people are feeling good about our economy. Fareed Zakaria, who was critical of the debt-fueled growth and advocated fundamental restructuring of the U.S. economy in Time magazine in 2010, suddenly forgot that and wrote a piece in The Washington Post last month claiming that the "economy is recovering well." He added that, if Mitt Romney is elected, President Barack Obama's hard work will produce a "Romney recovery."
The New York Times also had an editorial last Wednesday praising the economic recovery under Obama. Many professional economists are playing the same music in various forums.
In my opinion, most of us are suffering from "Economnesia." We, including prominent economists and leading journalists, seem to have forgotten what a good economy looks like. To me, the continued presence of the following factors indicates that we are not living in a healthy economy.
First, we have a persistent and growing federal budget deficit. Deficit supporters invoke Keynes to justify it. But the Keynesian approach does not recommend habitual deficit spending. There must be surplus years to eliminate the debt created by deficits. But since 1981, the U.S. economy did not see a federal budget surplus. The so-called "Clinton surplus" was created by counting certain obligatory payments as revenue. The national debt increased in each of the last 30 years, which means that the national economy was being managed by deficit in each year. Since 2009, the federal deficit has increased to an unprecedented $1.3 trillion annually.
Second, we depend on artificially lowered interest rates. Interest rates are an important factor in any economy, and markets should determine their proper value. When they are artificially pegged low it means we have bypassed the market to fix the economy.
Third, because our businesses are not responding to low interest rates, the Federal Reserve Bank has promised to keep it low for the next three years and hinted at more stimulative actions in the future.
Fourth, we have become addicted to continuous injections in the monetary supply. Sadly, after failing to create any visible impact with interest rate manipulations, the Federal Reserve resorted to the desperate measure of letting the money supply grow. There have been three rounds of monetary expansion, sugar-coated with the term "quantitative easing." The process is still going on, and the Fed is buying more than $50 billion of bonds every month.
The U.S. monetary supply remained around $1.3 trillion during 2003-07. But then it started to grow rapidly and by this September it reached $2.4 trillion, an increase of about 80 percent! Potentially serious inflation is just waiting to engulf the economy.
Fifth, while the U.S. had a trade surplus during most of 1950s and '60s, since 1974 we have never had a year of trade surplus and the trade deficit in 2011 was $560 billion.
Sixth, we should not forget that the economy is going through another textbook stimulus, the "tax cut," initiated by Ronald Reagan and essentially continued until George W. Bush lowered it further. President Obama, as we all know, let it stay. Our tax structure is not in harmony with our spending commitments.
Finally, the managers of our economy, the political parties, have failed miserably to address any of the serious issues mentioned above. All they have to offer is makeshift solutions.
Each problem described above is unnatural and is not expected to prevail in a healthy economy. These are like artificial poles we use to temporarily shore up a structure which tilts after a storm. These supports may create an impression that the economy has weathered the storm and is doing all right. And because of Economnesia we are forgetting that we are living in a glass house.
On Oct. 29, CNBC analyst Liza Jansen reviewed a book written by Elliott and Atkinson titled "Going South: Why Britain Will Have a Third World Economy by 2014." In that book, the authors argue that for the last several decades the UK economy has been run by "quick fixes after quick fixes" and is heading toward a fast decline despite GDP growth.
Not surprisingly, I see most of their analysis applies to the U.S. as well, although U.S. decline in a $15 trillion economy may take longer.
One factor that enables the U.S. economy to avoid the consequences of trade deficits, borrowing and monetary expansions is the attractive power of the dollar to international investors. As long as this trend persists we will be insulated from some negative effects that accompany reckless economic behavior.
Let me conclude by narrating a personal experience. Several years ago one of my living room chairs broke. A friend jumped to the occasion and fixed it and left proudly. We were happy for some time until we realized that the chair is usable only as long as it is supported by the wall. Once we removed it, it fell apart.
Each successive government in Washington is using the same trick to "fix" our economy.

I often find it amusing to rant (in appropriate company) about the lack of understanding of (or even interest in) science and mathematics shown by people in the 'humanities', even though at the same time, the exclusivity and inaccessibility of what I do can be a source of (shameful) joy.
But to be fair, the argument goes both ways. I like to think that I try to read and be aware of the arts (to whatever extent possible), but I know nothing about probably the most important literary theorist of this century, a revolutionary probably comparable to Einstein in the way he shook the foundations of his discipline.
Jacques Derrida died last week, and beyond the Cliff Notes-like 'Derrida... deconstructionism...text is everything...no meaning outside the text...', there is little I can say about his work.
Is it shameful ? Probably not. Should I stop complaining about the lack of awareness of the sciences among humanities folks ? Probably yes. Should I stop talking like Donald Rumsfeld ? Most certainly...

607 SnapWords® Teaching Cards Kit
SnapWords® Sight Word Teaching Cards work because they include pictures & body movement - the best ways to teach these learners:• kinesthetic• visual/spatial• dyslexic• autistic, and moreThe images embedded into each word help children learn words as easily as a camera snapping a picture. This is vital for children who need to learn whole words before they can break them down with phonics. The reverse of each card displays the plain word without a visual and describes a body motion for the word. In addition, a sentence using the word and coordinating with the visual on the front of the card focuses children's attention on the meaning of the word and how it is used in everyday communication.The 643 words included in this kit comprise about 90% of words that children will encounter in their reading. If they have these words under their belt, able to recognize them instantly, and if they comprehend the meaning of the words, they will be launched into reading no matter how difficult reading was before. If you're like me, your prep time is non-existent, so you are going to love this Kit! When it is time to teach, grab your SnapWords® Mini-Lessons book (included in the kit) and just do what it says. The work is done for you! SnapWords® Kits are designed first of all to bring success in reading to all types of learners, but they are also designed to do most of the work for the teacher or parent! SnapWords® Cards have a track record of bringing success to children with dyslexia, autism, ADHD, those who are visual, kinesthetic learners, and beginners. Obstacles to learning to read can include the inability to sound out words, sounding out words just fine but not remembering the word later, slow, halting reading, and lack of reading comprehension.

Alexis Taylor's second solo album, Await Barbarians is a series of songs "from the halfway line.' Possessing the same immediacy as his music with Hot Chip and the adventurousness of his work with About Group, there is a special intimacy to these lyrics, a simplicity and candour in his expression of emotion that brings to mind the best singer-songwriter records from Laurel Canyon, though as always with Taylor the moments of honesty are matched with a sense of humour, playfulness and fun.
Playing and recording all the instruments himself apart from strings, Taylor also presents a more reflective side of his writing and singing - something that has been there all along, but which comes into focus in a more confident and defined manner than before.
With its brushed cymbal-led quiet and solitude, and its startlingly direct recording approach, the album recalls in places the work of such English luminaries as Mark Hollis and Robert Wyatt. Recalling such recordings is one thing, but the record doesn't sound especially like those. Await Barbarians' soundworld is entirely Taylor's own - at times claustrophobic, synth-led and dry, and at others spacious, warm and homely, it always places Taylor's unique and recognizable vocals up front in the mix, rarely adorned by audible effects. Out of its brittleness and submerged sounding musical backdrop, something beautiful emerges in 'New Hours'; in its melodic immediacy and confessional performance, 'Dolly and Porter' is both moving and arresting, its lyric speaking of the emotional often being misjudged as the intellectual:
"I try to put my heart first,
You only hear head
You should use yours -
I mean your head and your heart"
AT: "Albums I love like 'Red Apple Falls' by Smog and 'Arise Therefore' by Palace rarely leave my mind when making music, but this record was made pretty much in isolation, not thinking about reference points at all really. I would respond to the songs that came to me - sometimes in dreams - trying to create sound worlds for each of them, and also trying to never over-fill the music. Often I track something with traditional elements such as guitar or Rhodes first, and then remove those later, leaving just the textural synthetic or acoustic elements, pushing them up in the mix, and leaving the song sounding more wayward and less grounded as a result."
Often underrated as a lyricist, on this record Taylor toys with contradictions and paradox, moving between expressions of love and a raw awareness of the vicissitudes of daily life. He sings about cryptic dreams, fatherhood, fear of invasion and illness, mortality, relationships with friends, feeling older yet at the same time younger than he ever has. "My name means defender," he sings on 'Am I Not a Soldier', and there's a sense running through the album that these are sentiments almost too personal to put into song. The record works as a spell of protection as Taylor addresses his closest ones and even his own immune system. The arrangements perfectly complement the lost-in-time-and-space feeling of the record, the always at home in the studio Taylor remaining as musically adventurous and as winningly open to an inspiringly wide range of new and old influences as he is lyrically bold.
Await Barbarians is a record whose warm tones draw you in, whose sequencing asks of the listener an uninterrupted session of close listening, and whose sound world reminds us of the pleasures of all that is quiet in music, in a time of heavily compressed and attention-demanding loudness. It doesn't sound like or try to compete with other records being made right now - and couldn't be further away from what is expected of a musician associated with dance music culture. It is rich in deep insight and profound feeling, a truly significant album by one of the country's most continually arresting musicians, the latest in an extraordinary run of recent releases.

If you are looking for a used ATV for sale, where do you look? I know ebay and craigslist have used ATVs for sales and then sometimes you find local trade publications where they list used ATVs. I was looking online and decided to list out some websites that sell used ATVs. If you know of any additional websites or sources to look for or buy used ATVs, please post as a comment in this topic.
eBay Motors - usually has a good selection of four wheelers, ATVs, and Side by Sides and offer seller protections
Craigslist - usually has more local ATVs, but be careful as there are no seller protections
ATV Trader - has over 130k ATVs listed by private sellers
ATVSoup.com - new and used ATVs for sale
WantAdDigest - Shows local listings of ATVs for sale
ATV.com - List new and used ATVs for sale
When buying a used ATV, make sure you do your research and find out the book value of the ATV, look over the condition of the ATV, and as for verification of ownership. Be careful who you buy from and get the ATV checked out by a professional dealer or repair shop if you are baying a high price.
Watch our for VIN numbers that are scraped off, this is usually a sign that the ATV was stolen.

I got an ATV from a guy that ran out of time rebuilding an eiger 400. He put a nerma Piston and rings in. I finished it up and it smoked like a train. I took the head off and honed the walls and it looked like the rings where on the walls, but it smokes just as much. I'm confused what's wrong with this thing.

17 HMR vs 22 WMR For My Particular Uses?
To start off, my aim isn't to start WWIII. I've been researching the difference between these two calibers for a while now and am just stuck in between. I'm leaning a little towards the 22 WMR, but let's get started. My friend and I have been taking off to his deer lease lately and all we've really seen that we had interest in shooting were rabbits lately. I think we've seen two further than 200 yards, other than that, we're in small areas at a maximum range of 75 yards when rabbit hunting. He also has feeders and a deer stand and a few blinds. The distance from stand to feeder is right around 125 yards. If we're at that distance, we'll likely be shooting raccoons, coyotes and possibly small to medium sized hogs, and I know shot placement is key in these situations, however not as much when using a larger round such as the 22 WMR. I'm also aware that hog hunting is best done with a .223 or bigger but that's out of the question for now. Besides, I'm going for more power than a .22 lr to have a "just in case rifle" in the event that we stumble upon an animal like this. I'm mostly set on a savage model 93, the caliber is all I have left to decide. Basically, I'm looking for an all around rifle that will be a good carry weapon around areas like this. What're your guys' thoughts? Thanks for your help and sorry for the somewhat long and scatter-brained post

Between the two calibers the .17HMR is going to be more accurate at distances out to 200 yds. The light bullet however is going to be more affected by wind than the .22wmr. The .22wmr has more impact power and would penetrated deeper (due to increased mass) but is less accurate out beyond 75yds.
Really for rabbit and raccoon I'd say either or is sufficient out to 200yds so long as you are a good shot. Personally I wouldn't take a shot on an animal with either beyond 100yds but that's just my personal limitation.
As for hogs I've dropped a 400lb. hog with a single shot to the head from a .17HMR pistol. Of course the hog was a domestic hog and was standing still as I walked up to it, put the muzzle of the pistol to the top of the hog's head and squeezed the trigger. Aside from that I seriously would question the ethics of anyone who shot an animal that size with either a .22WMR or a .17HMR in an actual hunting scenario.
So the answer to your question regarding your situation and particular uses - since you mentioned hogs too - an AR 15 in .223/5.56. If you were not going to be shooting hogs I'd go with the .22WMR personally - but I've always liked bigger slower bullets vs. lighter faster bullets.
This is who we are, what we do.

I'm going to say right up front the you're way under gunned for hogs at 100+ yards with either. I've used the 22 mag on coyotes in the 80's out to maybe 150 yards and it was quite unremarkable(using 1985 ammo). Most shot in the boiler room ran off to be found by blood trailing or were bayed by the hounds and finished off. I wouldn't even consider shooting a hog with a 22mag unless at very close range and hitting the brain.
The 17HMR peaks out at coyote sized game at less than 150 yards. I've killed some good sized groundhogs around 100 yards with a single shot in the body. The only coyote I shot with the 17 was around 200 yards and ran off wounded. This little round is a laser beam out to 150 yards compared to a 22lr but is way below the threshold of being a hog gun. It's relatively cheap to shoot and usually very accurate but just doesn't have the bullet weight to be effective on animals over 40#.
Of the two, I prefer the 17HMR as an "in between" round filling the gap between 22lr and .223. Preference based on the fact that, on average, the 17 is more accurate than the 22mag.

The 17hmr should shoot flatter and have less wind drift than the best of the 22wmr rounds, the 22 only having the advantage in energy.
That being said the higher speed of the 17 with the ballistic tip can still do a good kill.
Whether or not either is good enough for coyotes or hogs is a different story.

I like my 17HMR out to 175-200 yards when shooting small furry critters. I use my .22WMR out to 100 yards when shooting heavier small furry critters. I don't recommend either for coyote, or hogs. Just not an ethical shot in my book. That's why I have a .223, or .308. With the new .22WMR from Hornady 100 yard shots on raccoon, nutria, rabbit and such is much easier than it used to be. The 17HMR is great on ground squirrel, p-dogs and rabbit out to 200 depending on the wind.

Neither is a reasonable 200yd shooter. A 17grn .17HMR bullet is going to be blown 13.5" (over a foot) off line with a 10mph crosswind out at 200yds while a 40grn .22WMR is going to be blown 22.5" (almost two feet) off line with the same 10mph crosswind. The ME at 200yds for the 22WMR is only 96ft/lbs and the .17HMR a paltry 81ft/lbs so, for anything larger than a small rodent, neither is an ethical hunting round at distances longer than feet from the muzzle.

If your gonna eat them the 17hmr is a head shot only caliber. Massive meat damage with body shots. Chuck Hawks list the zero for a 17hmr zero a 1.5" high at 100 yards for a zero range of 145 yards, 0.9" high at 50 yards, 0.3" low at 150 yards, and 5.5" low at 200 yards, maximum point blank range (+/- 1.5") of 165 yards.

I know you say a .223 is out of the question and I'm sure you have your reasons for saying that. However, a new or used .223 in a single shot like an H&R or Rossi, or bolt action like the Stevens 200 and Savage Axis isn't going to be anymore expensive than some new rifles in the rimfire choices mentioned. Just be patient and wait for the right deal to come along and you can step into a centerfire cheap.
Ammunition for the rimfires can cost your around $13-18 for 50 rounds of premium loads. I realize that .22 WMR can still be had for less than $10 a box of 50 rounds but that is for plain old TMJ rounds and 40-50 grain plated and unplated lead bullets of either the RN or HP variety which wouldn't get you much more usable range than the .22 LR. You can get .223 ammunition suitble for your shooting needs for around $6 for 20 rounds so in my eyes the cost of shooting is a wash.

AT close range either one will work head or neck shots .Have shot pigs with 22mag around 50 lbs @ 50yds & DRT was the result Coyotes also. Both are fun guns.I do like the 22mag a little better but it has no real gain just personal choice.

I bought a .17hmr to fill the gap between my .22lr & my 22-250. The .17hmr excels at taking small varmits at around 150 yards, which is what it was designed to do. I have been extremely impressed with the accuracy of the .17hmr, & it is significantly quieter to shoot than my 22-250.
I have used the .17hmr to take rabbits & foxes, no problems whatsoever, however the .17hmr lacks power for chest shots on goats & mid size pigs, even at 100 yards. If you can brain shoot game the size of goats & mid size pigs it will work, but the .17hmr is best suited to smaller varmits.
I would probably choose the .22 magnum over the .17hmr for your purpose, however as others have said a .223 would be more suited.

In reference to the ethical hunting round. I bought a 17hmr barrel for my contender for small game, (rabbits, squirrel, varmints...) I have found the 17 grain vmax to cause extensive damage to the animal and ruins meat. So much so that I tried the 20 grain round for awhile and then decided to do head shot only. I cannot believe you don't think it's adequate. What have you shot with it. In my area we are limited to rimfire only for coyote and guys are wacking 35lb coyotes with the 17hmr.

I agree about the .17 buffering up meat. I have an old Marlin 22 wmr with a second hand Swift scope from swfa. Inside of 125 yards it's no problem bagging squirrels and rabbits with cheapo ammunition. The .17 is definitely flatter shooting, but better suited for punching paper and varmint control.
I'd trust a 22 wmr to put down a cuyote inside of 75 yards or so but no further.

I love the 17HMR (I have a few of them including the new marlin XT-17VSFL) but if I am going to be 100% honest I think the 22mag is a better hunting round.
Shot placement is everything! I would rather take a round of 50BMG to the foot than a 22short to the base of the skull.
all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...

17 HMR (Her Majesty Rules)
...many, many, many feet!
I watched my buddy pop a 22 lb. gobbler at 210 yds ranged by laser with a 17 HMR from a 14" scoped contender and that bird fell over dead! POW! If I had not been there I would have called him a liar. In the right hands that little tic-tac can and will wreak havoc on medium sized game.
Don't underestimate the power of speed. 2500 FPS is enough for most situations. God bless Dave Emary of Hornady.

Update on my post re:17HMR
I'm a lot less happy with the 17 HMR than I was a few weeks back. After shooting coyote twice in the chest at 30-50 yards and having it fall both times only to see it escape, I'm going to pull my recommendation for use on coyote.
As for rabbits, I see no problem shooting them out to 125 yards as long as the wind is calm. The 17 has the accuracy and flat trajectory for this use but suffers in the wind regardless of some of the comments about little wind drift.

Springfield, Mo.-based Bass Pro Shops has filed a $40 million building permit with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement for work at The Pyramid.
The permit signals the beginning of work by Bass Pro Shops on its store and the other attractions it will have in the Downtown arena, whose address is listed as 1 A.W. Willis Ave.
Up to this point, the construction work on The Pyramid has been the city of Memphis setting the stage for the retail space and other attractions that are the second part of the project and the responsibility of Bass Pro Shops in its lease agreement with the city.
The city's responsibility included taking out the seating bowl in what was once a 20,000-seat arena and performing seismic measures within and outside the structure.
Earlier this month, the Memphis City Council approved the final $12 million appropriation of the city's share of the constructions costs.
In August the Downtown Memphis Commission's Design Review Board approved the signage for The Pyramid that will be part of the Bass Pro Shops part of the project.
Memphis-based O.T. Marshall Architects is architect for the project, and Chicago-based Graycor Construction Co. Inc. is general contractor.

Leaders of the Achievement School District meet Monday, Sept. 16, at three locations with parents of children attending four of the 13 schools the state-run district will add to its system in the 2014-2015 school year.
The meetings are the start of a process to match the low-performing schools with charter school operators. The district will announce that decision in December based on the discussion at the meetings.
The three meetings are from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Carver High School, 1591 Pennsylvania St., South Side Middle School, 1880 Prospect St., and Coleman Elementary Schools, 3210 Raleigh-Millington Road.
The meeting at Coleman is for parents of that school as well as Springhill Elementary School.
The Achievement School District is adding two high schools, chosen among Carver, Fairley and Frayser high schools. They are expected to choose either Carver or Fairley, but not both.
The meetings then shift to three other schools Tuesday, Sept. 17, at the same time as the Monday meetings.
The meeting at Denver Elementary School, 1940 Frayser Blvd., is for parents of children who attend there or Frayser High.
The session at Westwood Elementary School, 778 Parkrose Road, is for parents of children at Westwood or Fairley.
And parents at Wooddale Middle School, 3467 Castleman St., will meet as well on Tuesday.

International Paper is increasing the size of its board to 11 members with the addition of Jay Johnson, former chairman and CEO of defense contractor General Dynamics Corp.
The 67-year-old Johnson's appointment is effective Oct. 1.
Johnson retired as chairman and CEO of General Dynamics in December. Before that, he was CEO of Dominion Virginia Power. He had risen to the rank of admiral in a career of more than 30 years in military service. Johnson served as the Chief of Naval Operations and as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1996 until 2000.
On Wednesday International Paper announced that it is laying off 1,100 people who work at an Alabama paper mill that it plans to permanently close because of waning demand for the paper the facility makes. The company's total employee headcount is about 70,000.

Tennessee Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman didn't offer any apologies in his first comments about a petition signed by more than 60 school superintendents that is critical of his leadership at the department.
Media reported that Huffman disputed many assertions in the letter, which says his office "has no interest in a dialogue" with local school leaders, and adds that superintendents' efforts to improve their schools are being thwarted by low teacher morale because of policy changes on the state level.
"It has become obvious to the signees that our efforts to acquire a voice within this administration is futile," according to the petition.
The petition is being circulated among the state's 137 school districts and has signatures from at least 63 superintendents.
Although Huffman initially told reporters he hadn't seen the letter, he later said he'd seen an unofficial copy of it.
"It's not a question of who knows more about what children need. It's a question of, in my perch, I'm responsible for ensuring that the educational outcomes of 970,000 students in Tennessee get better. So we can either decide that we're going to stay in the bottom 10 states in the country in education outcomes, or we can decide that we're going to do the things that will make Tennessee be a competitive state when it comes to education results."
Gov. Bill Haslam's press spokesman, David Smith, said his office hasn't received the petition.
"The governor supports the commissioner, and the data shows the state is making real progress."
Education leaders from a dozen state organizations have sent a letter to the governor supporting a new set of benchmarks for math and reading.
The letter sent this week says the common core standards provide students with critical thinking, problem solving and strong writing skills they need to help prepare them for global competition.
One group supporting the new standards is the State Collaborative on Reforming Education.
Jamie Woodson heads the organization and says she believes students will achieve more if they are challenged.
The ACT's yearly report showed Tennessee's high school graduates fell short of national results for ACT college readiness benchmarks this year.
The biggest gap was in math, with 29 percent of Tennessee students being deemed college ready, compared with the U.S. rate of 44 percent.
Higher energy costs pushed U.S. wholesale prices up 0.3 percent last month. Prices rose a modest 1.4 percent over the past year, the lowest one-year gain since April.
Excluding volatile food and energy costs wholesale prices were unchanged in August, the Labor Department said Friday. They were up 1.1 percent over the past year, the smallest gain since June 2010 and another sign that inflation remains under control.
Energy prices climbed in late August as tensions rose over Syria, accounting for two-thirds of the monthly increase in wholesale prices. More expensive vegetables and chicken lifted food prices 0.6 percent in August from July.
The Federal Reserve, which meets next week, closely monitors wholesale and consumer prices, determined to keep inflation running at around 2 percent.
Consumer prices in July were up just 2 percent over the previous year. Core consumer prices have increased 1.7 percent in the past 12 months.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT's water polo team's 2007 campaign came to a close on Sunday afternoon, as the Engineers went 2-1 over the course of the weekend to secure a fifth-place finish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association Northern Division Championships, hosted by MIT in Zesiger Pool. The Cardinal and Gray, seeded fourth heading into the event, was upset by fifth-seed Iona College in its opener, 9-8, before overcoming both Connecticut College, 20-5, and Fordham University, 8-7.
The Engineers finished 16-11 in Adam Foley's first year as a head coach, marking the water polo program's most successful campaign since 2003, when MIT put forth its best record ever at 23-9.
Saturday morning, Tech and Iona faced off with a spot at the Eastern Championships up for grabs, and unfortunately for the Engineers, the Gaels squeaked out a 9-8 victory to extend their season. The loss, coupled with MIT's triumph over Iona during the regular season, marked the fourth consecutive year that the Engineers and Gaels have split a pair of meetings.
Seven different players scored for the Cardinal and Gray in defeat, with sophomore Devin Lewis the only Engineer to record multiple goals as he scored twice. Senior Morgan Laidlaw, juniors Mike Smith-Bronstein and Palmer Rosemond, sophomore Mark Artz and freshmen Matt Perkins and John Preis each struck once to round out Tech's scoring contingent. Smith-Bronstein added four steals and two assists, while Laidlaw tacked on two steals and an assist.
MIT had to bounce back quickly following the disappointing defeat, as it took on Connecticut College later on Saturday afternoon. The Engineers responded in stunning fashion, as six players netted multiple goals en route to pounding out a 20-5 win. Laidlaw and Smith-Bronstein led the way, tallying four times each, while Grant Tomassi (3), Artz (2), Mattfolk (2) and Preis (2) rounded out MIT's legion of multi-goal scorers. Rob Kalwarowsky, Brian Gardiner and Spencer Williams each scored one goal to help Tech reach the 20-goal plateau for the fourth time this season.
The Engineers earned a spot in the fifth-place game courtesy of the victory, where they downed Fordham, 8-7, to finish out the season on a winning note. Laidlaw, playing in the final game of his intercollegiate career, netted a pair of goals to push his season total to a career-high 18. The Newport Beach, Calif., native also added an assist. Smith-Bronstein and Tomassi each netted a pair of goals as well, while Lewis and Preis finished off the scoring with a goal apiece. Preis ended the season with a team-leading 72 strikes.
Rosemond was another huge contributor in the final game for MIT, making four steals and adding three assists, while Lewis added a pair of steals.
Sophomore goalkeeper Nick Souza played between the pipes for MIT in the Iona and Fordham matches, making 16 saves and contributing one steal, while fellow sophomore Hiroshi Mendoza manned the nets in the Connecticut College win, stopping six shots.

My Toy
By Shaiq Ullah
29 Dec 2013
Hello my name is Syed and i am a student currently at The City College of New York and working part-time. I came to New York at 2010 and settled here with my family. I have many hobbies like sports, driving cars, painting, taking pictures and so much more. Recently Among all the hobbies Photography seems to getting much interesting to me and i decided to do something with it. I started taking pictures with my father's Olympus camera back at Dhaka, Bangladesh and had a lot but back then did not have much to upload so only printed few good ones. Continuing on the Dream to have my own DSLR i carried on using whatever near me. Went on using the camera till it became old and stopped working and now displayed as an antique by my father. I got my self a Cell Phone with which i took a lot of picture which was totally random and not praise able enough but later noticed every picture had it own story so i kept on doing it. In between i use few smartphones with which my love for photography increased but the quality of pictures was not enough but i still went on until i got my self a new camera at last. It was a Sony Cybershot, Model-DSC-H55 . I loved it and still using it for quick and random shots at events and parties. I soon moved to New York and started working part time and also studied as a college student where i took the Introduction to Photography course in which i had to buy a Manual SLR film camera and i was happy to have it by my side, It was a Vivitar V3800N with which i took black and white pictures necessary for my course but day by day it became tough and not so easy to handle or go on with the course and using a film was the hardest part for me as i already wasted 3 rolls and never knew the reason. I was sad and had to withdraw from the course but still went on as long as i could and the expenses would rise day by day for printing sheets and films. I thought using a manual camera would be great to start learning and i did. Learning about ISO, Lighting, Aperture. Shutter Speed and using them was hard with the camera. But i still wanted to go further and during the Black Friday 2013 i got my self the new Nikon D3200. I was happy and was joyed to get what i wanted for so long. I started taking pictures with not worrying about developing any films using chemicals or printing from negatives. But through that course i was able to handle this new DSLR and so far i have taken a lot of pictures. Sunset, sky, buildings, events, snow, rain and many more i love to see and save in memory. And now i hope to keep going with this hobby and see what more i can do.

I was riding the 2010 BWP manufactured by slingshot and have found the board to be well suited to my size and riding style.
The 2010 BWP stood up to two years of solid kiting and worked strapped and strapless in a variety of wave sizes, i particularly like the thruster set up and shape of the board.
Prior to riding the BWP I has 3 number 2008 SST's and the original airush converse which all snapped eventually, none of these lasted as long as the 2010 BWP.
I am now riding but disliking the 2012 North WAM its slightly shorter at 6'0" and with me being 6'2" tall and 85kgs i am finding the board too small, essentially i can rise the WAM strapless with my front foot in front of the inserts (to increase the surface area between my feet) but I cannot ride the WAN strapped at all!!!!!!; when I turn in front of a wave even strapless the board bogs and I loose all board speed and find I have to do a lot more with the kite to get going; strapped this is simply exacerbated i.e. there just isn't enough board under my front foot.
I have also found that I cannot outrun mushy sections as I simply cannot shift my weight over the front foot to generate the same speed that I could from the 2010 BWP.
I like the WAM in head high surf with plenty of wind; and there is nothing wrong with the board its just the wrong size for me.
Anyway I have been looking at replacing the 2010 BWP with either:
1. 2013 WVX Tyrant by slingshot which i am told is not built very well as slinghot have changed factories this year.
2. Airush converse.
Essentially my prerequisites are that the replacement must:
a, have three fins.
b. a squash tail.
c. have a similar size and shape to the BWP 6'2" x 18.55" with a 14" tail.
So my questions are does anyone have any information on the longevity of either the tyrant or converse and can anyone suggest another type of replacement board that might measure up

Trump's attacks put new FBI director in tough spot
By SADIE GURMAN, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Christopher Wray is facing a tough test four months into his leadership of the FBI. He must defend the agency against blistering attacks from President Donald Trump without putting his own job at risk.
The competing pressures Wray faces will be on display Thursday when he testifies before the House Judiciary Committee. Democrats may push him to respond forcefully to Trump's weekend tweets saying the FBI's reputation is "in tatters."
Republicans will likely echo Trump's concerns about what they see as political bias in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of possible coordination between Trump's campaign and Russia. They have seized on revelations that an FBI agent was removed from Mueller's team because of anti-Trump text messages.

Mediterranean-Style Resort with Free Shuttle to the Las Vegas Strip
In the neighborhoods surrounding Lake Las Vegas, colorful stucco villas and palm trees line cobblestone streets with names such as Rue Du Rivoli and Strada Di Villaggio. The entire area feels like a Mediterranean village—complete with pedestrian-only piazzas that lead to cafés, international restaurants, and boutiques with hand-blown glassware—even though it's actually located about a half hour from Las Vegas, in southern Nevada. Just like in Venice, you can ride in a gondola on the manmade Lake Las Vegas. Aston MonteLago Village Resort sits in the midst of this Mediterranean charm, where it overlooks the lake's sparkling waters and the craggy desert hills beyond.
Steps away from the resort, Casino MonteLago is located in the western part of Lake Las Vegas. The casino has a number of slot machines, electronic table games, and genie lamps that take quarters; you can try your luck here with the casino credit included in this Getaway. To head to the big city, hop on the resort's free shuttle to the Las Vegas Strip.
In the evening, retire to your Luna di Lusso resort-view studio or one-bedroom suite. Each has a private, furnished balcony that looks out over the resort as well as a small kitchen or kitchenette.
Henderson, Nevada: Thriving Suburb Close to the Vegas Strip
A Las Vegas suburb, Henderson is conveniently close to the Strip but also far enough away to be an escape from the bustle. Livability.com named it a top family vacation destination, highlighting the city's culture scene, which includes area art galleries and outdoor symphony concerts. At the Clark County Museum, visitors can trace southern Nevada's history via a timeline exhibit. The museum campus also has several historic buildings—including a decades-old barn and a wedding chapel—as well as a walk-in mining trail.
You'll find the Hoover Dam, one of America's Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders, about 20 miles northwest of town. Take the guided tour if you want to learn more about the dam's history and get a look at the inner passageways. Nearby Lake Mead hosts all sorts of watersports, including kayaking and fishing, but the bulk of the lake's recreation area consists of mountains and valley with trails for hiking.
Henderson's shopping scene is another draw: the town features one of the most popular malls off the Strip, Galleria at Sunset. The two-level shopping center houses more than 140 shops and five department stores. But Galleria really stands out because of its Southwestern-themed decor, including fountains, palm trees, and a topiary of animals in the food court. Alternatively, The District at Green Valley Ranch offers an outdoor shopping experience with a pedestrian-friendly promenade that's lined with boutiques and restaurants. There are also ample opportunities to relax here with a lushly landscaped central park and a grassy courtyard where musicians play live on Friday and Saturday nights from May through October.

Microcosm Publishing
Microcosm Publishing is an independent publisher and distributor based in Portland, Oregon, and Leavenworth, Kansas.
They distribute zines, books, pamphlets, stickers, buttons, patches, t-shirts, posters, videos, and more. According to their mission statement, their titles attempt to teach self-empowerment to disenfranchised people and to nurture their creative side. Current staff includes Rio Safari, Joe Biel, Nate Beaty, Jessie Duquette, Adam Gnade, Danielle Duquette, and Matt Gauck.
Beginning in 1996 with only Joe Biel doing part time mail order out of a bedroom in Cleveland, Ohio, Microcosm moved to Portland, OR, in 1999. Microcosm is heralded in the zine community as an entity that, for better or worse, has brought zines into a larger consciousness in the new millennium, after former mainstream interest has largely subsided. They are responsible for many of the recent zine/book hybrid aesthetics and zines that have fancier covers or design aesthetics such as multiple color screenprints, letterpress, or offset printing. There is a particular focus towards images and artwork celebrating bicycles and radical politics. Many of the items offered are not available easily elsewhere on the web or otherwise.
Incorporating the tactics of early punk record labels and a DIY approach, Microcosm uses guerrilla styled tactics for promoting their titles unlike most publishers of equal size. They rarely purchase advertising, and rely more heavily on the people who appreciate their craft independently passing out their catalogs in their respective towns.
In September 2008, Microcosm opened a new retail store in southeast Portland There was a noticeable shift in the type of reading material offered, since most stock is "hurts" and "remainders" sold at half retail price or less. In May 2010 the store grew for a third time and moved in with Printed Matter Screenprinting and Eberhardt Press in a new building in southeast Portland at 636 SE 11th Ave.
In July 2011, Microcosm closed its Bloomington, Indiana, office and opened a new distro/mailorder location in Lansing, Kansas. One month later, Lansing staffer Jessie Duquette (aka "Jessie Duke"), an employee since 2006, became co-owner of Microcosm.
For nearly sixteen years, Microcosm has remained truly independent of any outside management or funding and has suffered the corresponding financial hardships. Management decisions are made internally in meetings where full time staff collective members have an equal vote.

As somebody else has mentioned: don't use aluminum. You could use a pre-made carbon tube, but I doubt you can get close enough tolerances to guarantee a good bonding between the broken part and the fix.
I'd suggest to use carbon tape (look toward the bottom of
Take off the grip and sand the tubes for a good 6", do multiple carbon wraps with wet (epoxied) tape, and wrap the whole thing very tightly with electrician tape that you have "prepared" by putting some pin-holes in it. The excess epoxy will be squeezed out: it is a poor man vacuum bagging. For how many wraps, in what order do a little research. I am not sure if it is better to do separate wrappings and cures, but I suspect it is since the thickness of your repair should be at least as much as the thickness of the original tube. Would it work ... no so sure
I personally would buy a new one or give the job to somebody that has quite a lot of experience with composites.
Yes, what DVcali said.
It looks like the transition between straight and bent tube cracked - the forward portion is manufactured separately - usually inside a mold, whereas the straight portion is wrapped around a mandrel. A repair would basically re-construct the connection between the two.
1+ Forget the aluminum. You can use a cork (2011 chateau whatever) as a temporary ferrule to keep the halves together and prevent epoxy seeping into the tube where the boom extension goes.
A wrap of carbon tape wetted out on a sheet of saran wrap works, but a triangular sheet of carbon cloth might be easier and give you a triple overlap in the center around the break.
Use a helix of tightly wound electrical tape to express all extra resin after wrapping and you'll also get a good finish that doesn't need sanding.

A nice trick for wrapping with the electrical tape is to first punch pinholes in it. Before unwrapping the tape, just take a pin and make lots of holes in the roll so it looks like a tennis grip.
Then, when you wrap the electrical tape around the epoxy, it will ooze through the holes rather than just between the edges.
To wet out the carbon, use a cheap foam paint roller but with the foam removed. The hard plastic roller is perfect for squeezing out excess epoxy from the carbon.
The 99cent store is great for getting these items as well as mixing cups, etc.
For my boom job, I used west system g-flex from west marine:
Easy to mix because it's 1:1. It's supposed to be slightly more flexible than regular epoxy but much more resilient and less likely to fail. When playing with the left overs after hardening it was indeed less brittle and hard to break.
It's definitely worth trying to fix the boom. The materials cost is not too much and you could have it as good as new. Plus, it's fun.

Douglass I've repaired a few Carbon SUP paddle shafts and the easiest way is to find a carbon tube that you can cut and slide into the two broken pieces. But before you do anything wash the inside of the boom tubes and the outside of the repair tube with soapy water and either a bottle brush or wet dry sand paper glued to a PVC pipe to remove any mold release wax. Then sand the inside of the tube with 60 or 80 grit Sand paper (Glued to PVC pipe, or a belt sander paper cut and rolled up works also) it need some scoring for the epoxy to grip. If you can find a broken tail end piece of a Chinook carbon boom then use that. Call some of the Wind surf shops you might find a piece. I take 4oz fiberglass and cut a few 1-2" wide strips and fold it over the end of the tube and slide it into the tube to see how it fits, Just enough so it's not a sloppy fit. (Dry fit) Then once you have the booms cut and cleaned up and ready for epoxy. Mix up a batch of epoxy I use west system slow cure. split the mixture so you can add Q-cell to half. Wet out the cloth on a piece of plastic sheeting, coat the inside of the boom tube do one end first, with non thickened epoxy, coat half of the repair tube with epoxy then drape cloth over tube smooth out cloth with acid brush. take a bit of the thickened epoxy and smear it inside of the tube right at the lip of the boom tube. Make sure the FB cloth is wetted out then slide the repair tube half way in. Wipe up excess epoxy with Acid brush let sit over night. Then repeat with the other section of boom tube. I'd do rear first, then fwd section. Then after the two are glued back together Sand the joint a bit and wrap the joint with Fiberglass and or a layer of carbon.
The only way to use aluminum as a sleeve is to wrap the aluminum with a few layers of fiberglass cloth and epoxy and that will act as a insulator between the carbon and the aluminum. You will still have normal corrosion problem but it won't be accelerated by the carbon fiber. That was the way Gulftech booms did there carbon wave boom front ends before they went to all carbon front ends. Hope this helps! Cheers Mike

Sheryl Saperia, Special to The CJN
Negotiations over Iran's nuclear program have dominated headlines worldwide. With the debate inundated with references to break-out times, heavy-water plants and centrifuges, it would be understandable if some observers lost track of the core issue of this crisis: the threat is not so much the weapon as the regime that owns it.
Under the leadership of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran manages a huge industry of torture; executes its poets, children, and dissidents; persecutes minorities; sponsors terrorism; and speaks openly about the need to annihilate another sovereign state. As such, Iran is a country that cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons.
Even if Iran were never to launch a single nuclear warhead, merely its capacity to do so would provide the regime with a protective shield, emboldening it to continue and intensify its pursuit of regional hegemony and global instability. Iran has undoubtedly paid close attention to its ally, North Korea, which has deftly pioneered the path to political ascension through nuclear intimidation.
The essential menace emanating from Iran is, therefore, a result, not of its nuclear technology, but of its ideological convictions. Iran was a global concern prior to its nuclear advances, and will continue to be so in the aftermath of any nuclear deal – regardless of the terms.
Senator David Tkachuk underscored this point to the Canadian Senate last week, when he spoke about the Islamic Republic of Iran's intimate relationship with terrorism. He drew attention to Iran's nine-digit budget line to support international terrorism, and the ideological context of the regime's embrace of terrorist diplomacy.
Tkachuk is the same Conservative senator who played a central role in the passage of the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act (JVTA), a bill enabling victims of terror to file civil lawsuits against the sponsors and perpetrators of terrorism, and leading to the government's designation of Iran and Syria as state sponsors of terror. Canadians would be fortunate indeed if Tkachuk's statement last week is a prelude to greater action taken by the Canadian government with regard to Iranian terrorism.
Experts have noted that Iran regards terrorism as an essential element of its foreign policy, military strategy and religious revolution. Responsibility for executing this terrorism policy has largely been delegated to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its overseas branch, the Quds Force, which maintain operations in dozens of countries. The IRGC is currently assisting Bashar Assad in slaughtering thousands of Syrian civilians, and has been involved in terrorist attacks around the globe in which Canadian citizens have been murdered. Notably, the IRGC also provided assistance to the Taliban and Al Qaeda during the post-9/11 mission in Afghanistan in which so many Canadian soldiers were injured or killed.
Hamas and Hezbollah, both of which are listed terrorist entities in Canada, have received critical support from the IRGC. Hezbollah, in fact, has been referred to as nothing less than a wholly owned Iranian subsidiary, and a terrorist group currently more dangerous than Al Qaeda. This is an organization that seeks operatives with Canadian passports, extorts money from Lebanese expatriates in Canada, and has been caught conducting surveillance of Jewish and Israeli targets in Canada.
Hezbollah's Canadian presence is just one manifestation of Iran's interest in this country. The regime has attempted to extend its influence in Canada by surreptitiously funding conferences, mosques, university student organizations and cultural centres. Iranian-Canadians have often feared that speaking out against the regime will mean harm accruing to themselves or their families back in Iran.
Iranian diplomats were, in fact, expelled from Canada in 2012, partly due to their spying on Canadians of Iranian origin. But the spying continues. A sensational news story emerged this month about Arian Azarbar, an alleged Iranian spy whose movements and activities were being monitored by Canadian security, intelligence and immigration officials. While Azarbar denies any connection to Iran, security expert Tom Quiggin has pointed out that the name of Azarbar's Canadian-based company figures prominently in a series of videos promoting an Iran-Venezuela business co-operation project in housing. More information will surely emerge in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, there is every indication that Iran's commitment to terrorism will remain unchanged. Accordingly, Canada should consider legislative and policy options to contend with that threat.
For one, the IRGC as a whole should be designated as a terrorist entity. Currently only the IRGC's Quds Force is listed as such. Yet in the past, Canada has wisely refused to recognize the legitimacy of any branch of a terrorist entity, and has banned groups like Hamas and Hezbollah in their entirety. The same measure should now be taken against the IRGC.
As noted by Emanuele Ottolenghi, a specialist on the IRGC, "The revenues derived from all [the IRGC's] activities fund their military endeavours – including support for terrorist groups abroad and the pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile technology at home."
Moreover, sanctions under the Special Economic Measures Act could be imposed for Iran's terrorist involvement, rather than solely for violations of its international nuclear obligations.
Finally, Canadians should press their government to maintain existing sanctions until there is verifiable evidence that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon. And legislators like David Tkachuk and Liberal member of Parliament Irwin Cotler deserve to be supported in their efforts to bring attention to an Iranian regime that has truly earned the distinction of being the pre-eminent state sponsor of global terrorism.

In the late 1970's Seligman was bypassed by the Interstate and the Santa Fe Railroad ceased its operations in the town in 1985. Main Street Seligman is still filled with quirky shops preserving the fun days of Route-66. According to the U.S. Census of 2000 about 450 people live in Seligman.

CHICAGO — Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has been elected mayor of Chicago, to succeed the retiring Richard Daley.
With 86 percent of the precincts reporting, Emanuel was trouncing five opponents Tuesday with 55 percent of the vote to avoid an April runoff. Emanuel needed more than 50 percent of the vote to win.
The other major candidates — former Chicago schools president Gery Chico, former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun and City Clerk Miguel del Valle — had hoped to force a runoff but were no match for Emanuel.
Chico had 24 percent of the vote compared to 9 percent for both del Valle and Braun. Two other lesser-known candidates each got about 1 percent of the vote.
Emanuel's win caps off a campaign that included an unsuccessful legal challenge to try to keep him off the ballot.
