The paper presents a meta dataset covering 13 experiments on social learning games. It is found that in situations where it is empirically optimal to follow others and contradict one's own information, the players err in the majority of cases, forgoing substantial parts of earnings. The average player contradicts her own signal only if the empirical odds ratio of the own signal being wrong, conditional on all available information, is larger than 2:1, rather than 1:1 as would be implied by rational expectations. A regression analysis formulates a straightforward test of rational expectations which strongly rejects the null. (JEL D82, D83, D84)

Rectal stenosis after radiation to the prostate
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Actually, the person to see about this is a gastroenterologist or a colorectal surgeon. It usually requires an endoscopic dilatation with a balloon device and may require repeated dilatations. It has to be done carefully because if the mucosa is disrupted or the scar tissue is torn it can result in an infection or necrosis which causes worse fibrosis. If it is mild we usually manage it with stool softeners.

Perinephric pseudocyst formation, characterized by the accumulation of a variable amount of serous fluid in fibrous sacs surrounding
one or both kidneys, is a relatively uncommon disease in cats.1-3 Because the cyst is not lined with epithelium, the term pseudocyst is used. The pathogenesis of the perinephric fluid accumulation is not completely understood, but underlying renal parenchymal
disease may be a factor.2-5 Chronic interstitial renal disease is often present in association with pseudocysts, and progressive renal parenchyma contraction
that impairs venous or lymphatic drainage could result in transudation. The fluid may accumulate in a subcapsular or an extracapsular
location and is usually characterized as a transudate, having a low protein content, a low specific gravity, and a low cell
count.6,7 It is also possible to find urine (uriniferous pseudocyst) or blood within the pseudocyst. Uriniferous pseudocysts occur
from extravasation of urine between the kidney and renal capsule usually because of urinary tract trauma or an obstruction.
Blood that accumulates in pseudocysts may be secondary to blood dyscrasias, blood vessel damage from neoplasia, external trauma,
aneurysm rupture, or surgery.
Perinephric pseudocysts occur primarily in male cats with a mean age of 11 years.1-7 Cats usually appear outwardly healthy with an increasingly distended, nonpainful abdomen, but signs of concomitant renal
failure may be present.3,4 While abdominal palpation reveals what may seem like dramatic renomegaly, radiography demonstrates a large, fluid-filled
mass (or masses) in the area occupied by the kidneys, and ultrasonography shows the anechoic fluid surrounding the renal parenchyma.
Currently, resecting the cyst wall is the most common treatment. If the cyst wall is insufficiently removed, a new pseudocyst
may form, necessitating dissection to the renal hilus.9 Because of the continued fluid production from the cyst remnants after capsulectomy and the inability of the peritoneum to
remove the excess fluid, ascites can occur.11 Using the omentum to enhance physiologic draining of the fluid has been reported and may be useful in minimizing abdominal
distention.8,9 Surgically resecting the pseudocyst wall is often effective in relieving clinical signs, but renal disease will continue
to progress. The patient's prognosis is related to the severity of renal dysfunction at the time the perinephric pseudocyst
is diagnosed.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- American Airlines says it will cut passenger-carrying capacity by 1 percent in the first half of November as it tries to recover from widespread delays and a spike in cancelations.
American said Thursday that the pullback will give it more time to return to normal operations without affecting holiday travel.
Delays and cancelations soared in September, which American blamed on a work slowdown by some pilots. The pilots' union denied the charge.
Although American has boosted its on-time arrivals from September's 59-percent mark, flight-tracking service FlightStats.com says American still trailed other large U.S. airlines in delays on Wednesday.
American cut capacity in September and October by up to 2 percent. Airlines reduce capacity by eliminating flights or using smaller planes.

Toledo 25, UB 20
Game Analysis: This one had an eerie resemblance to UB's 38-31 loss at Ohio. That game was tied late in the second half until the Bobcats put together a pair of scoring drives. This time UB had a 14-7 halftime lead but saw the Rockets go 73 yards on their first second-half possession, 86 yards on its second and 84 yards on its third. Meanwhile, the Bulls got pass-happy with the ball in the fourth quarter after Bo Oliver ripped off consecutive runs of 12, 8 and 10 yards. This from a team that says the run game is its identity.
Turning Point: UB called timeout after David Fluellen opened Toledo's second second-half possession with a 17-yard burst. Whatever was said won't make it into the realm of great inspirational talks. Fluellen went 49 yards on the next play and was in the end zone two plays later.
Player of the Game: Fluellen gouged the Bulls for 140 yards in the third quarter and finished with a career-high 228 yards and two touchdowns.
What It Means: Toledo (8-1, 5-0) could be looking at its first national ranking since 2001 after running its winning streak to eight games. UB (1-7, 0-4) remains a half-game out of last in the MAC East and hasn't beaten an FBS team in more than 11 months.
Stat Check I: UB punted 10 times but held Toledo's dangerous Bernard Reedy to just one return for minus-6 yards.
Stat Check II: Toledo kicker Jeremiah Detmer made five field goals in last week's upset of Cincinnati. Saturday he was 1 of 4 on extra points.
He Said It: ""I feel he's one of the better running backs in the country."" -- Toledo coach Matt Campbell on Fluellen.
In the House: It wasn't Canisius-St. Joe's. There may have been 2,500 in the house out of an announced crowd of 10,658.
Next Up: The Bulls continues their four-game homestand at noon Saturday against Miami and NFL QB prospect Zac Dysert. The RedHawks knocked off No. 22 Ohio Saturday.

President Barack Obama pauses as he begins to speak in the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House in Washington, Monday, April 15, 2013, following the explosions at the Boston Marathon. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says the explosions at the Boston Marathon are being investigated as an act of terror, although authorities still don't know who is responsible.
He called the bombing "a heinous and cowardly act" used to target innocent civilians.
Obama spoke to reporters at the White House after a briefing by his national security team.
Three people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy, and more than 170 were wounded in Monday's bombing at the famous marathon's finish line.

Higgerson feeling right at home at LRZ
Higgerson feeling right at home at LRZ
Higgerson feeling right at home at LRZ
By RACHAEL GRAY
Sarah Higgerson's mother gave her a bird book when Higgerson was a little girl, and from then on, her fate was sealed.
Higgerson become enthralled with birds, learning all of the names of the different types and sketching them.
Now Higgerson, 27, is a birdkeeper at Lee Richardson Zoo. She and her husband, Justin, moved to Garden City from New Orleans, where Higgerson worked for the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. While there, she helped rescue and rehabilitate turtles involved in oil spills. "But my forte was always with birds. And I wanted to be closer to home," she said.
Higgerson is from Overland Park and attended Kansas State University, where she earned a degree in wildlife management with an emphasis in birds, or ornithology.
Higgerson has lived in Garden City for about nine months.
"I love it here. New Orleans is not a place I wanted to raise a family," she said.
Higgerson also loves her job.
"It's perfect. It's in Kansas, and it's birdkeeping," she said.
She also likes the pride the community takes in the zoo.
"I love how it's a smaller zoo. The people here are very proud of it. And they take pride in their work," she said.
Higgerson's favorite part of her job is coming to work every morning and getting greeted by the animals.
"I have so many animals I care for," she said.
In addition to 74 birds, Higgerson also cares for two spider monkeys, gelding monkeys and a red ruffed lemur.
"All of the animals have such personalities and greet me each day," she said.
In the winter, she stays busy caring for the birds in holding.
"The heartier birds are outside, but many have to be fed and cared for indoors. And they eat twice a day," she said.
Higgerson's love for birds translates into her home life, as well.
She has three parakeets and a green cheeked conure named Alaura.
"She's my baby," she said.
Higgerson attributes the early book gift to her love of birds.
"I got that book, then I started sketching. I'm trying to get back into that," she said.

The MFCES owns and manages two properties for research and outreach: Lubrecht Experimental Forest, a 28,000-acre forest approximately 30 miles from Missoula and Bandy Experimental Ranch, a 3,600-acre mountain ranch about 50 miles from Missoula, both within the Blackfoot River drainage. MFCES scientists also have access to a wide variety of other lands in western and central Montana.Virtually all of the faculty members in the College do research administered by the MFCES and many of them also provide outreach to land owners; forest, grassland, and park managers; wildlife biologists; and many others through demonstrations, short courses, symposia, and other means. Graduate students in the College usually do their thesis and dissertation research under the auspices of the MFCES and many undergraduate students conduct research and are supported on projects of the MFCES.

Another View -- Dan Itse: Who will defend the NH Constitution if we do not?
The readers were led to believe that this was a Second Amendment rally; it was not. It was a rally calling the legislators to honor their oath of office. As a speaker, I did not mention the Second Amendment once. The readers were led to believe that the Constitution of Virginia is somehow relevant to our laws. However, we do not live in Virginia; this is New Hampshire. The laws of this state are restrained or empowered only by the constitution of this state and the Constitution for the United States.
The readers were led to believe that Jack Kimball and Rep. John Hikel somehow rely upon Part 1, Article 38 of the constitution of the State of New Hampshire to justify the lawsuit and the petitions. That simply isn't true. Douglas called Article 38 precatory, implying that it holds no actual power, but is only advisory.
Article 38 was originally the last Article in our Bill of Rights, the capstone, to tie it all together. It puts the people firmly in charge of enforcing the Constitution upon those in government. The first two phrases could be considered precatory, though I would suggest hortatory (another arcane word meaning an exhortation):
"A frequent recurrence to the fundamental principles of the Constitution, and a constant adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, industry, frugality, and all the social virtues, are indispensably necessary to preserve the blessings of liberty and good government; the people ought, therefore, to have a particular regard to all those principles in the choice of their officers and Representatives."
The people are called to know their constitution and to use it as the measure of whom they send to work for them in government. The last phrase is anything but advisory: "And they (the people) have a right to require of their lawgivers and magistrates, an exact and constant observance of them (those principles), in the formation and execution of the laws necessary for the good administration of government." This phrase means the people have the right to require the legislators, governor and bureaucrats, and judges to strictly obey the constitution.
The right to submit petitions is codified in Part 1, Article 32, which gives the people (individually or collectively) the right to petition the Legislature when the government injures them. Are the petitioners aggrieved by the passage of an unconstitutional law? The justification to enter the law suit is provided by federal statutes on conspiracy and racketeering.
The editorial and column take the position that because the law was considered constitutional when it was adopted in 1977, it must be constitutional now, making it a mere policy decision. As we stated at the rally, this ignores two substantive and relevant changes that have occurred in the interim.
In 1982, the people adopted Part 1, Article 2-a of the New Hampshire Constitution, which strengthens and makes explicit the people's right to defend their life, liberty and property with arms. In 2005, the Supreme Court of the United State, in Castle Rock v. Gonzalas, recognized that the police have no duty to protect any person against an assault. Specifically, absent a statute requiring that person be protected, and the funding to carry that statute into practice the police could not be required to protect a person from assault.
Part 1, Article 3 states that the Legislature is required to recognize that the failure to provide a protection promised in order to secure a surrender of a right makes the surrender void. Therefore, the Legislature must also recognize that a proposal to require a surrender of rights based upon a protection that cannot be provided for any reasonable cost, must be unconstitutional. This is especially true when the right to be surrendered is explicitly recognized.
Knowing that the police can never protect every person from assault all the time, the Legislature has no power to require any person to surrender their right of self-defense. While giving rhetorical lip service to "stand your ground," this paper's editorial and column writers undermine the very rights that justify it.

I hit the web looking for video on one of the greatest comic's of all time. To my amazement there was none to be found. So I dug though my archives and here he is….Murray Langston. THE UNKNOWN COMIC!
I hit the web looking for video on one of the greatest comic's of all time. To my amazement there was none to be found. So I dug though my archives and here he is….Murray Langston. THE UNKNOWN COMIC!
Im sure back then it was funny, one liners just dont do it any more. its all about the anecdote.
: )
Steve Martin likes the Unknown Comic!!!
@EnjoyTheRideOfLife There is, or at least was a new version, but it sadly lacked the life of the orginal show, & I have no idea if Chuck has anything to do with the new show.
@sphinxrising58 there's a new one? is chuck still hosting?
i remember the time he handed out penny candy bags as photographs . and the time he came out with a bottle of liquor in his hand, poured it over his head. "the drinks are on me."
Too funny today to see him doing his act with a cigarette in his hand
@Enctypt ya srsly
@surgednb srsly?
@stingray2001 I laughed at him more than laughed with him but The Gong Show wouldn't be the same without him!
@Masoneter Well then you're either 12 years old or you've been living under a rock. Those names that I mentioned are indeed comedy legends and just because your dumb ass doesn't know who they are doesn't change that fact. Quite frankly, you should be embarrassed that you've never heard of guys like Don Rickles, Alan King, Richard Pryor, etc.
@lighthouse44 I've only heard of George Carlin in that entire list. I've heard of the Unknown Comic though. Hm… Not very legendary if NO ONE knows who they are…
Unknown Comic ruled!
FUNNY! Yes.. i laughed! I watched a show where they took off his bag to reveal who he really was.
@stingray2001 yes i did… and i wasnt thought of yet
i adore steve martin
wow how much comedy has changed in about thirty years.
I remember "The Unknown Comic" vividly. discovered who he was (believe it or not) before the rest of the world came to know his real identity ( ! ), as he was on another show during the time he did the "Unknown Comic" act, and i recognized his voice and his gestures. It was a few months after that, that he made himself known to the public. His "shtick" was a great one, I thought. Those were the days !! Thanks for posting this !
the man, the legend.
This show was THE BEST OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!Reality before " reality " tv. The ORIGINAL AMERICAN IDOL SHOW but a billion times better, Gene Gene the Dancing Machine, Milton DeLugg and the band with a thud, this is solid freaking platinum stuff I wish to hell they'd sell ALL the seasons on DVD
@RO80T Err…it's Murray Langston.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol lol lol YOUR STANDING TO CLOSE TO THE CAMERA hOW FAR DO YOU WANT ME TO STAND BACK
@myradioon They're still f*** up on TV. They're just better at covering it up nowadays.
to myradioon-it's all just part of the act….he's not coked out of his mind; don't be so jaded and serious….

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about genetically modified foods, and included a link to a film, Genetic Roulette—The Gamble of Our Lives. The Institute for Responsible Technology was showing it for free for one week. I just found out they have extended the viewing until Election day. If you did not get a chance to watch it, now is the time!
Click here to watch the video or follow this link; http://geneticroulettemovie.com
There is allot of on line information regarding GMO's. I receive new information daily! The following info on "GMO Ticking Time Bomb" is from a series of emails I just received....
GMO Ticking Time Bomb,by Gary Null.
Part 1: This is the first part of Gary Null's explosive documentary on GMOs.
Follow this link to watch; http://youtu.be/wC3yteAC9nk
Highlights: Rima E. Laibow, MD tell us "Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) pose unparalleled threats, nothing like them has ever existed in the entire course of the planet."
Scientific studies suggest that GMOs:
- damage organs
- cause infertility
- damage the immune system
- create holes in the gastrointestinal tract
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine recommends that doctors prescribe non-GMO diets for everyone. Find out why the FDA allows the bio-tech companies to self-regulate.
GMO Ticking Time Bomb, Part 2
Follow this link to watch; http://youtu.be/sx4Dud0othY
The seeds of corruption are planted deep in our government. Are the FDA, USDA, EPA, or our elected officials doing anything to ensure our safety in the very food we eat? Why has every administration since Bush senior been marching lockstep with the bio-tech industry? Watch this video "GMO – Ticking Time Bomb, Part 2 – Corruption" by Gary Null, and see the apathy that exists in the government that is supposed to protect us.
Monsanto and other big bio-tech companies:
- Dismiss scientifically proven, negative health aspects of GMOs or make them irrelevant.
- Suppress the knowledge of the negative findings by controlling main stream media.
- Thwart government's attempts to regulate.
GMO – Ticking Time Bomb, Part 3 – The Risks
Follow this link to watch; http://youtu.be/Ppumc3iavzI
If you ask Monsanto if GMOs are natural, they have two answers…YES and NO.
Watch this video, "GMO-Ticking Time Bomb, Part 3 – The Risks" by Gary Null, and learn the risks of genetic modification and gene patenting. Monsanto's answer depends on which side of Washington they are talking to:
FDA or USDA
- GMOs are no different than the natural product
- Doesn't need to be tested
- The public doesn't need to know, it's no different
Patent Office
- GMOs are completely different than natural products
- We've invented something brand new
- GMOs are radically different
- So inventive that we deserve dozens of patents
For an animated "History of Monsanto, by "Non-GMO Theater", follow this link; http://youtu.be/eyKZR8WujTk
And last, click here to watch Danny Devito, Glenn Howerton, Emily Deschanel, Kristin Bauer, Kaitlin Olson & KaDee Strickland, deliver a great parody of the big bio-tech companies in this 90 second video. They ask...."Trust Us, you can trust us..."
If you dont already know about genetically modified foods, the above videos may change the way you look at food... forever.

Places to stay in San Francisco
Your choices in San Francisco hotels are overwhelming. The prices can be too. So during our staff visit to the City by the Bay, we looked for reasonably priced hotels that had charm, location or both. We came back with 14 ideas on places to bed down. It's not a complete list, but it is eclectic, like the city itself.

Abram Brown, Forbes Staff
I write about people who build businesses.
President Obama this morning outlined the White House's new gun-control proposals, a push that would be the most sweeping change to firearms in decades. While the new laws would certainly dent the nation's $32 billion gun industry, it would not cripple it.
The president highlighted more than 20 executive orders that he signed today that he hopes will curb gun violence. "In the days ahead, I intend to use whatever weight this office holds to make them a reality," the president said. "Because while there is no law or set of laws that can prevent every senseless act of violence completely, no piece of legislation that will prevent every tragedy, every act of evil, if there is even one thing we can do to reduce this violence, if there is even one life that can be saved, then we've got an obligation to try." The orders ranged from strengthening the existing background-check system to adding new resources to school safety initiatives. (You can read the president's entire presentation here.)
Beyond that, Obama told lawmakers that he wanted them to swiftly pass a assault-weapon ban and limit magazines to 10 bullets. This would mean reinstating the gun-control law created in 1994 that expired a decade later. Significantly, that will need Congress' acquiescence, and many conservatives and gun-rights groups like the NRA have vowed to fight any legislation they feel infringes on the Second Amendment.
The assault weapons ban would restrict what gun manufacturers call modern sporting rifles. The man who wreaked havoc at Sandy Hook used such a weapon—a Bushmaster AR-15 manufactured by the Freedom Group, the largest long-gun manufacturer in America. The ban would likely parallel the one signed into law in New York yesterday: there, any rifle with even one militarized feature, like a pistol grip or a flash suppressor, is now now illegal.
Any sort of ban on modern sporting rifles will greatly affect the closely held Freedom Group and also impact Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger, too. Modern sporting rifles are among the most profitable weapons that gunmakers produced, says Rommel Dionisio, a Wedbush Securities analyst, as well as one of its fastest-growing segments. Freedom Group has said that modern sporting rifles are a useful tool in driving youth interest in firearms.
These types of rifles account for 20% or so of Smith & Wesson's sales, Dionisio estimates. It's probably a slightly smaller amount for Ruger. Ruger's recent explosive growth has centered on its new compact handguns, made to take advantage of expanded concealed-carry laws. The White House did not specifically mention whether high-capacity pistols would be affected. New York has already limited large pistol magazines. If that went nationwide, customers could stop buying bigger, higher-margin pistols. These more profitable guns are primarily bought for enthusiasts to enjoy the added capacity in the clips.
Shortly after the president's remarks, Smith & Wesson shares gained 3.8% to $8.75 and Ruger climbed 4.2% to $50.01.
As for the new background checks, it could reduce some of the popularity of private gun shows. By turn, that could drive greater traffic at places like Dick's Sporting Goods, Cabela's and Wal-Mart, the largest gun retailers in the U.S.

He stole them from his mother…
His mom took him to shoot at the range all the time, was very much his, but in her name, derp . . .
he stole it from his mother, after he shot her….
Wow Kenton, your naivety is astounding. You completely miss the point. Kari hit the nail on the head in another post.
"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." – Thomas Jefferson
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." – Thomas Jefferson
"The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." – Thomas Jefferson
Our rights are being infringed on and our constitution is being stomped on. You should be ashamed of what is happening right now in America. Read more of these Thomas Jefferson Quotes, its creepy how many of his quotes can be related to what is happening today in America.
What I find interesting is that you seem to think that only the top 1% will pay more. Have you looked at your paycheck lately if you collect one? I am not nearly in the top 1% as I only made $80,000 last year yet since the beginning of this year my paychecks have consistently been $100 to $150 less depending on my overtime hours. So I guess my question to you is if I am one man who has $7000 less to spend next year, what do you think other Americans have in cuts? To put the numbers into perspective for you, if 100,000 Americans have the same tax increase, that is $700,000,000 or 700 million less to put into the economy. You are ignorant to think that type of financial change to some won't group to pose a large problem to a still struggling economy.
We should be focusing on the actual problem and not the symptoms… Give somebody with the flu some morphine and they don't feel so bad, they are numb… but did this actually help them?… no…
The reason you call it propaganda is becuase you have no other argument against what the NRA says. Please inform me how these new laws are going stop ANY criminal actions. Criminals have full auto weapons, explosives, armor peircing ammunition, And body armor. How the hell Is limiting my rifle to a 10 round clip going to stop them from commiting mass murders?
wow kenton are YOU really misinformed.your taxes as well a the other 99% of americans who WORK went up to support the one who wont WORK..looks like you bought into the obama propaganda like any selfserving democrat would..you need to smell the coffe boy..take a deep breath and see what the country is becomeing under obama socialism
You seem to forget that it's not just because of Obama that you are paying more per paycheck.
Neither party had any intentions of continuing the payroll tax break. At one point I believe the GOP adamantly refused to consider extending it.
So there's that.
Lets' just forget about the 10,000 prior laws and promises like they worked so well.
DO you understand what Shall not Infringe Means?
3rd Amendment No standing Army so who Holds the Military weapons.
DUH the Militia that's who. Unfortunately we have let it s pread too far.
Time now to undo all the stupid , Illegal restrictions that the Govt. has applied.
The Constitution restricts them not us, unfortunately we have let them do it the other way.
Never the Less the Declaration obligates us and authorizes us to do our DUTY and remove the Evil stupid Pols who do nothing but Accrue power and the Expense and lives of Americans.
Run any guns Lately Obama, Besides Mexico , Syria and Libya?
They don't follow the Law and from now on No longer shall any true american.

Ricardo you just another idiot mexican with a alcohol and drug habit probably racketeering in some diseased wannabe group.-- Mans emissions have absolutely nothing to do with global warming. Volcano emissions are 5,000,000 times more than any human's emissions could ever be. There is global warming but human emissions have nothing to do with it. Solar power can absolutely devastate out environment. In order to do solar power correctly you need a "battery bank" or a "battery pile" -- a large amount of batteries that require lots sulfuric acid etc. which really hard to deal with and expensive to dispose of. If alot people have these 'battery pile's" our environment would be contaminated especially with drug and alcohol addiction and health,transportation problems. Battery acid takes 20 years to work out of our environment and devastates the insect and bird population-- which is everything - we die also. Fossil fuels work out of the environment in 2 years.The laws of physics are balanced on a razor's edge for life to occur.
The "tesla" energy cause's atmospheric conditions like the "red rains of kerala" in which the tesla coils positively charged the some of the ions in our atmosphere, causing the some of our atmosphere or gravity to be "less" due to anti-matter and matter and the north and south poles. Causing "matter" to be lifted up in our atmosphere,then returning back to our surface to burn up due to the friction-- causing a black , brown or red rain to fall etc.--
Einstein and Metz had it out with Tesla in a scientific court and won due to atmospheric problems tesla was causing i.e.-- Tesla was shut down after using his Colorado dam to do a experiment to thwart meteorites in future -- his experiment came out in russia and flattened a 100 square mile area!!!
Ricardo if the Human race had some kind of "other" energy source etc. we would be using it.
Albert Gore and his environmental group were a giant waste of time.
Your "global warming" is probably some sick racist get back at your inadequacies at the white race.

HARRISONBURG -- Harrisonburg City Council members could decide Tuesday night whether to approve nearly $18,000 for tourism.
Harrisonburg Tourism requested that money as part of a grant from the state.
Tourism Director Brenda Black said Harrisonburg Tourism used some of the money already for its new campaign. That campaign is called 'It's Better in the 'burg.'
She said Harrisonburg Tourism created videos and advertising to bring more visitors to the area and she hopes the rest of the grant money is approved to continue the effort.
"I think it's important to go after the grants from the Virginia Tourism Corporation. The funding is there. If you're awarded, it gives you better visibility and allows you to reach a larger audience," said Black
Black said Harrisonburg Tourism is working on a couple other tourism initiatives to bring more people to the area.

Iowa's Mandatory Minimum Sentencing & Special Courts
We continue our series on corrections in Iowa by talking about mandatory minimum sentences. What is the goal of mandatory sentences and how effective are they? What are their legal, social and economic impacts?
In the second half hour, host Ben Kieffer takes a look at Iowa's special courts – drug courts and mental health courts, for example. We find out how they work differently than conventional courts, the case for how special courts save lives and money, and why several drug courts in the state have closed.

1998 Suburban misfire and burning smell help!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have a 1998 Suburban - the other day I was doing normal driving and started smelling a burning smell - this was *not* an oil burning smell! I swear! I know what oil burning smells like! (Sorry, just frustrated) This quite seriously smelled like a grass fire. In fact, until later I thought it was a grass fire in the area I was driving through.
As I got into town the check engine light came on with a very sudden rough (very rough!) idle at the stop light (significant misfire - extremely rough). Thought it was going to die so I carefully drove to where I was meeting someone, turned it off, let it cool, restarted to see if it would do the same thing. Yep.
Managed to make it home, opened the hood and smelled the fire smell from earlier - but not as strong, like an old campfire.
Mechanic friend suggested starting with the spark plugs and wires because the plugs were really fouled and the codes were saying missfire on 2 and 8. Did that today. Smell has faded. Missfire continues.
Any ideas?

Did you look for signs of burned wires?
Wouldnt have to be burned spark plug wires, could be wires providing power to the ignition system that got grounded somehow.
I agree! Start looking around for some burnt wires. I have seen mice build nests in engine bays, those smell pretty bad when they catch fire. But, now with a misfire I would definitely take a look at wires.

Agree with the previous 2 posts. Having the fire smell AND the misfire at the exact same time leads me to believe something is burned up (or went to ground) in the ignition system. Start by pulling all the wires off the truck and really inspecting them. As I think about this, 2 and 8 are on the same side of the block (passenger side) and very close on the distributor if memory serves me correctly. As such, it would not suprise me to find out they've burned together somehow since you are getting a misfire on both of them... Greg

Like the others postings, I completely agree that this is a joke if not a potential fraud. I was rejected and not even given a reason for this. Meanwhile, I have a credit score of around 790 and a great credit history with never a late payment and a credit card with a history of 20 years. I start to wonder why they even advertise this product when it appears to be a total scam, with few if anyone being accepted for this. Applying is a total waste of time. You start to think this might even be a trick to get people's personal information and potential identity fraud, when so many low risk and what would be consider premium customers at other financial institutions are being rejected by this firm. I would advise everyone not to bother with this and would even recommend that depositaccounts website not continue to post this obviously fake and misleading announcement.

|AN EGYPTIAN TEMPLE AT PHILAE, HE Island of Philae, the name of which appears to be a Greek corruption of the Egyptian Pilak—" the frontier "—is situated a short distance above the first cataract of the Nile, which formed the boundary line, in ancient times, between Egypt and Ethiopia. It is celebrated for the beauty of its scenery, no less than for the ruins of its ancient temples. The waters of the Nile tear furiously down the cataracts, but above the river is broad and lake-like; and numerous islands, of strange fantastic shapes, stud its surface. On the banks huge blocks of porphyry and granite lie in wild confusion, many of them brightly polished by the action of the water, aided, probably, by the mud and sand which it carries down with it, and which render so fertile- the land that it floods. The calmness of the river, the feathery tresses of the palms, contrasting with the wildness of the surrounding rocks, and the massive walls and colonnades of the ancient temples, give a peculiar charm to the scene; and the traveller feels, as he enters Nubia, and looks down upon the island of Philoe, that there was, after all, some cause for the mysterious stories which the ancient Egyptians told of the neighbouring country of Ethiopia and its inhabitants. The temple here represented, though small in size, is of beautiful proportions. It is built upon a raised platform, and the architect appears to have chosen its position so as to add to its effect when seen from the river. Neither this, nor the great Temple of Isis, which stands on the eastern side of the island, are older than the time of the Grecian Ptolemies, by whose orders they were built in the third century before Christ. Though comparatively modern, they are, however, copies of that peculiar style of architecture which had belonged to former ages; and we see in them an attempt to restore the old Egyptian worship, and to revive the feelings of that ancient religion which existed long before the children of Israel went down into Egypt. During their long sojourn in that land, the Israelites did not escape

TAMPA, Fla.(AP) — Eric Weems scored on a 102-yard kickoff return and Matt Ryan threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Michael Jenkins as the Falcons rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat the Buccaneers 28-24 on Sunday for their sixth straight victory.
Ryan led his sixth fourth-quarter comeback of the season for the NFC South leaders, keeping a 10-play, 67-yard march alive with a 25-yard completion to Roddy White on third-and-20. The Falcons (10-2) also benefited from a couple of costly penalties on the Bucs.
Rookie LeGarrette Blount rushed for 103 yards and fullback Earnest Graham threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to John Gilmore for Tampa Bay (7-5), which fell to 0-5 against teams with winning records.
Josh Freeman drove the Bucs into Falcons territory on the team's final possession, but Brent Grimes' interception ended the threat.

MANATEE -- Forensic auditors from the national consulting firm Navigant have told audit committee members that a report on what led to major financial mistakes in the district will be ready by Jan. 14.
In late September, the school board enlisted Tampa-based law firm Trenam Kemker to find a forensic audit team to determine the cause of a $3.4 million budget deficit that rocked public trust in the district. A team from Navigant -- the selected firm -- began its investigation in mid-October, interviewing school board members and district staff, as well as former superintendent Tim McGonegal and former assistant superintendent of district services Jim Drake, who oversaw finance.
School attorney John Bowen expressed concern at a Wednesday morning audit committee meeting that lawyers may reap more than is necessary.
"I have reviewed some of the legal billing," Bowen said. "I am concerned that there are charges in there that are beyond what was authorized by the school board."
He pointed out that Tre
nam Kemker associates sat in on interviews with McGonegal, Drake and other board members, even though the school board had not instructed them to do so.
But committee chairman Jim Toomey doesn't believe the law firm representatives were necessarily out of line, since the committee had charged them with finding out if McGonegal and Drake could be forced to participate in an investigation. Both former school officials willingly met with auditors.
Both firms will not be paid until after that first report is finalized, Toomey said.
The committee will request detailed billing for review.
Also at the meeting, Toomey passed his chair position to Bobbie Windham, an internal audit manager for the Manatee Clerk of the Circuit Court. Board members also decided to include the names of speakers who participate in public comments at committee meetings in future minutes.

While efforts to get the Fiscal Year 2013 tax rate in place well before Christmas may fall short, it may be worth the wait for homeowners.
Based on preliminary data that has yet to be approved by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue and assuming the maximum allowed shift in the tax burden to commercial properties, the average single family home - worth $324,377 - would be taxed $5,756.95, a savings of $17.01 over 2012.
Under that scenario, the residential tax rate would be $17.76 per thousand dollars of valuation, while the commercial industrial and personal property rate would be $40.14, Chief Assessor Daniel Dargon told the board Tuesday night.
Framingham Selectmen will set the fiscal year 2013 tax rate - and decide how large the shift should be - after a hearing that is now scheduled for Dec. 18.
Selectmen had hoped to hold the hearing earlier, in part in response to delays in the rate being set last year, and expressed frustration when told of the delays Tuesday night.
"We said last year we were going to improve the process,'" said Selectman Jason Smith.
Dargon said the town needs a green light from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue before it can proceed with the hearing, though he said any changes from the preliminary data presented to the board would be minimal.
Also Tuesday night, Selectmen:
- Discussed the town's long-term financial strategic plan. Chief Financial Officer Mary Ellen Kelley detailed plans to shift shift away from using free cash to balance the operating budget over time. With the town's stabilization fund now at the recommended 5 percent of the total budget, the town's Hotels and Meals Tax collections, a more reliable and predictable source of revenue, will be freed up for other priorities, including meeting long-term pension obligations. Selectman Dennis Giombetti said if the hotel and meals funds are available, some should be earmarked to hire additional police officers.
- Learned Framingham DPW had successfully installed a sidewalk curb cut and crosswalk across Potter St., enabling the last section of the Weston Aqueduct to be open to pedestrians. Safety concerns about crossing the busy roadway had kept that section closed even after a high-profile groundbreaking on most of the historic trail.
- Supported an application from the Department of Public Works for a Community Innovations grant that would explore possible uses of vehicles that run on compressed natural gas. The grant includes Framingham as well as the MetroWest Regional Transit Authority and the towns of Natick and Wayland.

ELK RAPIDS — Elk Rapids soccer coach Nate Plum saw room for improvement Tuesday after the Elks posted a comfortable 8-2 win over Comstock Park in a Division 3 regional soccer opener here.
The Elks scored four goals in an 18-minute span in the first half to seize control.
"I told the boys at half it was probably one of our sloppiest 4-0 games I've ever seen," Plum said. "I told them we need to go out there with a goal of simply improving, improving, improving. We need to make ourselves better. It just wasn't our best half. One of those goals they put in on themselves. We had a couple nice finishes for goals, but overall our movement wasn't what it needs to be, especially when we're going to go up against tougher teams."
Like Whitehall. The Vikings beat Tawas 1-0 in the nightcap to set up Friday's final. Whitehall is ranked No. 3 in Division 3, Elk Rapids (19-5) No. 7.
"That's going to be a big game against a good team," Elks senior Spencer LaPointe said.
LaPointe and Alec Altonen scored two goals apiece to lead the Elks past Comstock Park.
Andy Atkinson put the Elks on the board with 22:44 left in the first half when, after skillfully controlling the ball, he arched a shot over Panthers goalie Miguel Nava.
Nearly three minutes later, LaPointe took a perfect overhead feed from Austin McMullen and converted to make it 2-0.
Jake Klein registered the third goal when he put a shot on goal from the corner that it was inadvertently knocked in by a Panthers defender.
LaPointe rounded out the first-half flurry with his second marker at the 4:29 mark.
"It's hard to come back from a 4-0 deficit," Comstock Park coach Javier Nava said. "We have two kids hurt, two of our key players, but I'm really proud of the way they played even though we were down in numbers and talent.
"I tip my hat to these guys (Elks) because they played a really good game."
A good game, but maybe not really good, according to Plum. Not totally pleased with the first-half, Plum said the Elks were guilty of a 15-minute lapse in the second half when Jimmy Whalen netted the two Comstock Park goals.
"They're (Panthers) here for a reason," he said. "But we took our foot off the gas for 15 minutes and they put their highest player up and they took advantage of some miscues in the back that normally don't happen. They made us pay for it.
"It's disappointing to get scored on when we dominated the game, but that's something we'll have to live with, learn from and improve upon.
"We're here again (in regional final). That's the nice thing, but we've got to get better."
Altonen netted his first goal seven minutes into the second half when he curled in a shot.
"I put some spin on that," he said. "I came in pretty slow on the dribble. Coach was yelling at me to run faster and take the ball a few more dribbles. But I saw the goal so I just kicked it and got a nice bend."
His second tally came 10 minutes later. LaPointe assisted.
"I told Spencer to pass me the ball because I had a pretty open side on the 18," he said. "I dribbled it and got it (shot) far side again."
Whalen then popped in two goals in just over two minutes to put Comstock Park on the board.
Talon Felker and Noah Dietrich closed out the scoring for the Elks.

As a reminder of how rising sea levels can affect coastal communities, OC Coastkeeper and other nonprofit conservation groups are asking residents to capture images of the ultra-high winter "king tides" that are expected Wednesday.
This California King Tides Initiative should provide a look at what the state can expect if sea levels rise in the future, highlighting how residences, harbors and infrastructure and beaches and wetlands, as well as public access to the coast, may be affected.
The National Academy of Sciences projects about a 1-foot of sea-level rise by 2050 and up to five feet by 2100 along the California coast, according to Coastkeeper.
The December tides, expected from Wednesday to Friday, mark the second of four winter king tides events," according to the initiative. More king tides are expected from Jan. 9-11 and Feb. 7-9.
You can see the initiative's king tides chart for California here. You can submit and view images here.

---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Marcus Nidiffer is a coach on the field.
He's also a pitcher's best friend.
That's part of his job description as the catcher for the Traverse City Beach Bums.
Nidiffer had a rock solid season in 2012, guiding a pitching staff that had the lowest ERA in the Frontier League at 3.52 and held opponents to a league-low .226 average.
"It's nice to have a guy behind the plate that you have all the faith in," Beach Bums manager Gregg Langbehn said. "He's really good at what he does. He takes a lot of pride in it. We're pretty fortunate to have somebody of his caliber be our everyday guy."
Everyday is about right, too. Nidiffer proved a workhorse last season, becoming just the third catcher in team history to play 70 or more games behind the plate. That number illustrates his importance to the team.
A new year, though, brings a new challenge so Nidiffer's quickly immersed himself the past two weeks in "getting to know" the 2013 staff. What's he looking for?
"How they throw, how they pitch, how they want their games called," he said. "You have to spend as much time as you can with them. You have to pick their brains and know what they want when they go out there. If you're not on the same page, it doesn't flow right. The good thing is we have a good core back and I know how those guys pitch. I know what they want and they know what I like. It flows together."
Each pitcher has his own idiosyncrasies. Take three examples from last season.
"Reed (Kelly) always liked to set up hitters for the strikeout," Nidiffer said. "He had a power arm.
"Jacob Clem was a more of a contact guy. I wanted to get swings as early as I could out of the batters. That way we were in and out and he didn't run his pitch count up.
"Scott Dunn, the good thing with him is that no matter what I put down, he threw it and threw it for a strike. He's a bulldog. I'm glad he's back."
Building those relationships with the pitchers is one of the more behind-the-scenes keys that can make a difference between success and failure.
"Familiarity, that's a big part of it, knowing the strengths and weaknesses of every pitcher. and how they tick," Langbehn said. "You can look at any major league team and the ones that have stability behind the plate probably have a pretty good pitching staff. The greatest example I can think of currently is St. Louis with (Yadier) Molina behind the plate. I'm certainly not making comparisons, but the catcher-pitcher relationship plays a huge part in determining a team's success."
Clem, for one, appreciates his catcher's talent. He said Nidiffer's return brings a comfort level to the staff.
"Marcus is awesome," he said. "He works with you. If you're not on, he'll get you going. He'll do whatever he can to help you out.
"Plus, he throws guys out. He does everything you ask of a catcher and then some. Having him back is a big deal. I'm sure all our pitchers are ecstatic about it."
Nidiffer, who played his college ball at the University of Kentucky, said his goal in camp has been to "catch as many new guys as I can."
"I try to keep track of who's been throwing to him," Langbehn said, "just to make sure he's familiar with everybody."
At the plate, the right-hander provided some punch by hitting .241 with nine homers and 38 RBIs out of the eighth slot.

Konawa —
Konawa residents complained Tuesday they are tired of dealing with problems stemming from the town's water and wastewater systems.
People flocked to a meeting at the Konawa Community Center to discuss the water issues plaguing the city. State Sen. Susan Paddack called the meeting to bring local, state and federal officials together in a search for a solution.
One business owner said the city shuts off the water from midnight until 4 a.m. each day, then orders people to boil their water the next day so it will be safe to use.
"I have to turn all my equipment off every single night," said the woman, who did not give her name. "Why do we keep doing this? It makes no sense to me why it has to be shut off every single night."
City Manager Rita LoPresto said officials shut off the water each night to let the system recover. She added she did not agree with the strategy.

Somerset —
Pulaski County head baseball coach Danny Masten will be the first person to tell you that his club hasn't been an offensive juggernaut over the first half of the season.
Instead, PC has used timely hitting, played sound defense, and has gotten some excellent pitching along the way allowing the Maroons to pick up some key wins over the first part of the season.
And, that was the exact formula the Maroons used last night at Charlie Taylor Field to take the upperhand inside the 47th District standings.
Dustin Vaught threw a complete game five-hit shutout against Somerset, while PC took advantage of four Briar Jumper errors, allowing the Maroons to move to 2-0 in the 47th District standings with an impressive, 3-0 win over the Briar Jumpers.
"That seems to be the theme of our year so far — taking advantage of the opportunities that have been put in front of us," stated a very happy coach Masten, who saw his team move to 7-6 overall on the season with the win.
"I was just looking at our record on the KHSAA website, and how many runs we've scored and how many runs that have been scored against us," Masten remarked. "Teams in our region are up at over 100 runs scored this year, and we're in the 50's, but we're only giving up in the 50's. We're not scoring that many runs, but teams aren't scoring that many runs on us either. I thought (Dustin) Vaught did a great job tonight. He kept Somerset off balance and got them to hit the ball in the air, and we just made the plays behind him."
Somerset with the loss fell to 10-6 on the year, but more importantly dropped to 1-1 in league play, and it's been a lack of defense that has hurt Phil Grundy's club so far this year.
And, those costly errors bit the Jumpers once again last night against PC.
In the top of the first, the Maroons broke through against Somerset lefty Heath Ehrsam, scoring an unearned run thanks to a Jumper error.
After back to back singles by Jacob Denney and Aaron Smith off of Ehrsam, Eric Jones worked the Jumper pitcher for a walk, loading the bases with just one out.
Vaught then came up to the plate with a chance to help himself, and hit a bouncer over the mound.
Haden Fox couldn't come up with the throw at the first base bag, and due to the first error of the evening by Grundy's club, PC had a 1-0 lead over the Jumpers.
The score remained that way until the fifth inning, when the Maroons tacked on a pair of runs, thanks to an RBI single from Jones and another Somerset error that allowed another run to score, giving Pulaski a 3-0 lead and Vaught some cushion to work with.
"These guys are juniors and they should be better than this, because some of them are three-year starters," pointed out an unhappy coach Grundy after the game.
"They take everything for granted, and they never make an adjustment from one at bat to the next one," added the SHS coach. "I told them that I can't motivate kids that don't have any pride. We're just not aggressive baseball players right now and I'm going to bench some of them tomorrow. Some of them may quit, but at some point you've got to find out which kids on your team are motivated to be baseball players."
Compounding things for Somerset last night was the fact the Jumpers couldn't get that one big hit off of Vaught.
The PC pitcher stranded 10 Jumper runners on the base paths, while fanning three and walking none, although he did hit four Somerset hitters.
Still, without that key hit with runners on, and another game that saw Somerset guilty of dropping fly balls and committing those four errors, the Jumpers were stymied all night long.
"We talked to our guys before the game about just going out and putting the ball in play," pointed out Masten.
"This was a big win for us, enabling us to go to 2-0 in the district while picking up a big win on the road," said the PC coach. "I had came over here as a coach on five occasions and had never one here until tonight, so this is a huge win for our team. We're now 2-0 in the district, and I don't think we're anywhere close to hitting our stride just yet. Hopefully, we can continue to improve and when May rolls around, we'll be there."
Ehrsam pitched well enough to win on most nights, surrendering just four hits to PC while allowing only one earned run.
But, again those four errors did in the SHS senior, as the Jumpers dropped their second game in a row with losses to rivals Danville and PC.
"The two games that we had highlighted on our schedule was this week — for the first month and a half to two months of the season — were Pulaski at home and Danville at home — and that's the effort we got," lamented Grundy. "And, I'm ashamed of it."
"I think we're carrying at bats out to the field with us, and that's why maybe we're having so many errors," added the Jumper skipper. "I think we struggle because they've not worked hard enough — they don't do early work — they don't do extra work. We do have some guys that are hitting the ball good. Bryson Jones has had a terrific offensive year, (Haden) Fox has had a big offensive year and Addison (Thompson) has had a good offensive year, but there's a lot more talent here than the results were getting."
Both PC and Somerset will return to action today.
The Maroons will be at home to host Bell County at 2 p.m., while the Briar Jumpers will travel to London to face South Laurel.
DOUBLES — (PC) Denney. (SHS) B. Jones
RBI — (PC) E. Jones
WP — D. Vaught
LP — Ehrsam

Each Saturday on the Politics Now blog, you'll find a list of stories that caught the eyes of The News' political reporters. Here's a sampling of what they were reading the last week:
This week's debate between U.S. Senate candidates Kirsten Gillibrand, the Democratic incumbent, and Wendy Long, endorsed by Conservatives and Republicans, was one of the most high-profile events in an otherwise lightly covered contest. The Times-Union's Jimmy Vielkind reports the debate revealed "clear splits" between the candidates on abortion and hydraulic fracturing, while The Atlantic's David Graham weighs in on the incorporation of "50 Shades of Grey" into a debate question.
Nick Confessore at The New York Times profiles the man who has given more than $20 million in political donations in Missouri since 2008, when the state eliminated contribution limits.
Presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney set aside their apparent contempt for each other during a light-hearted night at the Al Smith dinner in Manhattan, writes the Times' Richard A. Oppel Jr.
A voter registration organizer who has worked on behalf of Republicans has been arrested and charged with fraud, accused of throwing out voter registration forms, reports Michael Isikoff of NBC.
Obama is battling to maintain support from women, which is considered crucial to his chances for re-election, reports Liz Halloran at NPR.
Meanwhile, a SuperPAC supporting Romney has seen a surge in donations, according to a USA Today story from Fredreka Schouten and Christopher Schnaars.
