This carpet was nice for the price. It had to be rolled out and stretched out for a little while so the corners would stop rolling up (had it shipped to Alaska). The description states this carpet is white. Actually it is more an off-white/cream color. I wanted a "pure white" shag carpet, but overall I am satisfied with this purchase. It does shed slightly but manageable.
When I searched on Overstock.com I asked for wool only and this rug came up in the search and I didn't bother to confirm - I should have realized from the price. The rug is not wool and smells very chemically. It also sheds - ever time my infant rolls around on it he comes up with fuzz in his mouth. I can't see it staying together for more that 6 months.
The color, butterscotch, is lighter than expected. I also didn't realize that there were at least three definitely different kinds of shag, some almost white. The rug has the silkiest feel of any rug I've ever had. You could just lay on it and "pet" it for hours. Our boxer mix dog has chosen it as his daily resting spot, which is fine since the rug shows no imprint or hair. I immediately ordered another rug, same size and color, which I laid next to the first in order to increase the coverage area. Because of the thick shag you can't see the seam.
Do not order this carpet if you want a shag rug. This pile is short, hard and awful. Very unhappy.
Great rug! Looks great and is very soft. Very cheap as well.
Looked for a rug for baby's room. So many places were so expensive. Found this on overstock for the right price, and right color. It was delivered quickly and is just what we were wanting. Fills the space nicely.
This rug is the perfect size for my apartment. Some of the reviews says that it sheds, but I haven't experienced shedding in the past couple of months I've owned the rug. It's OFF WHITE not white, which is fine for me because I accent with other neutrals. Even my puppy can snuggle on it and its easy to clean. Overall it met my expectations.
the rug was exactly what I wanted, in size and color. it was delivered as promised on time. it seems to be a very good qualiry..
Purchased two white rugs, happy with the color not satisfied w the pile or the quality of material. Looks cheap.
I bought two of these... Initially I thought one would be enough for the area in my small living room so I don't know if I measured wrong, or if the manufacturer measures differently but this rug was definitely not 4x6. I had to buy a second one, which I was okay with for the price, but the second one which I just received is about two inches shorter. No, it isn't a huge deal but it's enough to notice. The rug does seen sturdy and well made and doesn't shed, which was a pleasant surprise. My 11 month old black lab loves to lay on it and play with his toys and it does not trap his hair at all which is great seeing as he's black and it would really show. I'd say it's more of an ivory color than white. Overall a good purchase and I would recommend.

Sorry for yet another Christmas entertainment thread ... but this didn't seem to fit the other one.
What are your favourites? Not Christmas specials (Grinch, Charlie Brown, Frosty etc.) ... but Christmas episodes of regular TV series.
Thanks to my rather embarassing TV-on-DVD collection I watch some or all of these every year:
~ All the West Wing ones ("Holy Night" being my favourite, even if it's the least "Christmassy")
~ All Creatures Great and Small -- "Merry Gentlemen"
~ various M*A*S*H ones, favourite is "Death Takes a Holiday"
~ The Vicar of Dibley -- "The Christmas Lunch Incident"
~ Mr. Bean
~ Glee – "A Very Glee Christmas" (I stopped watching Glee ages ago but this ep. is still a winner IMO)
~ Studio 60 – "The Christmas Show" (I get goosebumps every time I hear that jazz rendition of "O Holy Night")
~ Sportsnight – "The Six Southern Gentlemen of Tennessee"
~ Doctor Who -- "A Christmas Carol" (and this year I plan on re-watching "The Doctor, The Widow, and the Wardrobe")
And I'm sure there are others I'm not remembering right now ...

text: I was wanting a separate amp to put next to my bed that would be quiet, power some old sony surrounds, and run off of the iPod this systeem would be used to play my "sleep" music and wouldn't wake up the family. Building a small amp powered off of a 9 volt battery, two Rat Shack 386 amplifier ICs, 2 10uf caps and a small pot. Prototyped a one channel model and works like a dream. Will upgrade to Burr-Brown amps after I build it (I'm very impacient). Just wondering if anyone else has built anything like this and if so, could give any advice or help. Should run less than 10$ to build, nice fun rainy day project.

Supreme Court to take up Obamacare contraception case, http://rtvote.com/1aVZJTO
The Supreme Court has accepted an Obamacare law appeal over contraception coverage. The court justices will review provisions in the Affordable Care Act requiring employers of a certain size to offer insurance coverage for birth control and other reproductive health services without a co-pay. The issue of focus is whether private companies and non-profits can refuse this, based on the claim that it violates their religious beliefs. Hobby Lobby, Inc. is one of the plaintiffs.

Police reports say a man assaulted and stole a victim's bicycle after huffing paint last night.
Chickasha Police Officer Joel Hendrix responded in reference to an assault in the area of S. 9th Street and Ohio Avenue at 9:25 p.m.
"Upon arrival I met with the (victim) and he said (Shannon) Ingram ran up behind him and hit him in the head as he rode his green bicycle," Hendrix wrote in a police report. "(The victim) said that after Ingram hit him on the head, he got on the bicycle."
Ingram took the bicycle, described as a green Huffy mountain bike, and rode away, the victim said.
Hendrix began a search for Ingram when he found a male and female couple walking down an alley.
"I shined my light on the couple, and noticed the male holding what appeared to be a bag on his right shoulder blocking his face," Hendrix wrote. "I drove passed the two and as I did, I recognized the female as one that lives Ingram. I looked at the male and now the bag was on his left shoulder. The male subject was holding it as to conceal his identity. As | drove passed (sic) him, | was able to positivity identify Ingram because of previous dealings with him. | also noticed the green bicycle with a chain and lock on it as described by the victim."
Hendrix said he could smell the odor of a chemical substance on Ingram'. The woman with Ingram said he had huffed paint that evening.
"I noticed Ingram appeared to be flush in the face and spoke with a thick slurred speech," Hendrix said.
Ingram was taken into investigative detention and Hendrix took the bicycle back to the victim, who showed Hendrix a large knot on the back of his head where he claimed Ingram hit him.
Ingram was placed under arrest for robbery in the first degree and public intoxication.

Lime Marketplace offers variety
Date: July 16, 2009
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
Had you asked Larry Hollander 20 years ago if he would ever be a flea-market proprietor, the man would have laughed you out of the building.
But tough economic times have spawned creativity for Hollander, who owns two local businesses: Contemporary Cabinetry and Closet Concepts. Unable to sell a 20,000-square-foot warehouse on Lime Avenue, Hollander put his marketing background to use and came up with a solution. Seven weeks ago, he opened Lime Marketplace.
The first day was a disaster. When only six out of 25 vendors showed up to tend booths, Hollander was worried, especially after spending $1,400 on advertising prior to opening day. The second week was an improvement with 28 vendors. Now, locals are even trekking from Longboat Key every weekend to embrace the market.
Lime Marketplace caters to the Sarasota area with gourmet foods and jewelry, arts, crafts and even back-to-school bargains. The market also provides quality produce and consignments, a neighborhood environment and savings.
"We're more of a neighborhood market," Hollander said. "With free parking, it's a family-oriented, salt-of-the-earth place for locals."
With 42 vendors and growing 15% to 20% each week, Hollander's goal is to house 150 vendors by season. Vendor rates are $25 per day for an indoor or outdoor booth, which he says is a fraction of what other markets charge.
"The big appeal is that on a commercial street in Sarasota, where there is one for-sale- and for-lease sign after the next, now there's something of real benefit to the neighbors, residents and community at large," Hollander said.
Hollander has already brought in crêpe chefs from Crazy Crepes and hopes to add booths for additional art, spices and exotic foods from around the world, making it more of an international bazaar.
"I wouldn't give up all my Saturdays and Sundays if it wasn't fun," Hollander said.

By Mike Harrington
The NHL may announce the format for the shortened 2013 season today. Here's a recap of what I've been throwing around on Twitter from what folks are hearing:
1). All play will be within your conference. For the Sabres, no games against the West this year.
2). A 48-game season would likely open Jan. 19. It would consist of seven games against the other four teams in the Northeast Division (Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa) in a 4-3 split to be determined and two (one home, one away) against the other 10 teams in the East.
3). A 50-game season would likely open Jan. 15. It would likely consist of five games against the other four teams in the Northeast in a 3-2 split to be determined and three against the other 10 teams in the East in a 2-1 split.
Many of the same dates teams currently have for their arenas will likely hold. The Sabres are currently scheduled to play Jan. 15 at Ottawa and that would likely hold as the season opener in a 50-game slate. There are home games scheduled for Jan. 17 (Islanders) and Jan. 19 (Carolina), with the latter likely holding as a season opener in the 48-game slate but the Hurricanes expected to be replaced by a Northeast foe.
The season currently runs to April 13 with only 40 games. A couple will need to be inserted and it will likely take at least another 7-10 days to get to 48. Figure a completion in the first week of May.

John T. Harvey, Contributor
I want to explain how things work, not what you should believe.
I made a post two weeks ago in which I explained that the popular view of inflation (wherein it is caused by money growth) depends critically on assumptions that do not hold in the real world. Money comes into existence when someone adds it to her portfolio of assets. This occurs either when she borrows money (which creates new cash from reserves) or sells securities to the Federal Reserve (which injects new cash into the system). Neither of these scenarios allows the central bank to increase the supply of money beyond demand, the story told by those in the money growth ==> inflation camp. Instead, inflation happens first. This then means that agents need more cash for transactions, leading them to borrow more or sell government securities to the Fed. Thus, the money growth accompanies inflation, but it does not cause it. The original post can be found here:
Money Growth Does Not Cause Inflation!
What I did not answer there (except for a brief example) was what economic processes were actually responsible for the initial rise in the price level. I'll fill that void here.
Inflation Defined
Inflation is simply a rise in the average price of goods and services in the macroeconomy. Which particular goods and services depends on the measure we are examining. Consumer price inflation is the one usually in the news, and it takes a weighted average of various items purchased by the typical household (the list being determined by survey and then updated periodically). The average can rise while some prices have actually fallen, and how much it reflects your personal situation is a function of how closely the basket of goods and services in the index matches your buying patterns. But, the bottom line is that we say that inflation has occurred when the average price of those goods and services has increased.
This does not happen by magic. It takes someone, somewhere making a conscious choice to charge more for the good or service they sell. The initial increase does not have to be in something that is being directly measured by the consumer price index. No household in my neighborhood, for example, buys barrels of oil; and yet when they become more expensive that sends a ripple throughout all related products. In the end, consumer prices jump as well.
Of course, that someone, somewhere who raises their price must also be in a position to make it stick. I could march into the Chancellor's office here at TCU and demand that my salary be doubled, but that probably won't accomplish a whole lot (other than to give me a chance to update my vita while I am cleaning out my office). Other factors must come into play. Many circumstances can cause inflation. I will focus on four.
Causes of Inflation: Market Power
First, the economic agent could have market power. This means they have the ability to avoid (at least to some extent) competitive pressures. It is the latter that forces firms to please consumers. Adam Smith wrote in 1776 that we cannot trust the undertakers of business to look out for anyone but themselves, and so we must handcuff them. But not with markets, per se, with competition, and the two do not always go hand in hand. The OPEC oil cartel in the 1970s and 1980s is a classic example of marker power. Had there been other viable sources of what they sold, they could not have restricted supply and driven up prices as they did because the competition would not have allowed them to do so. We would have just bought oil (or a close substitute) from someone else. Up to late 1973, they lacked the political will to set strict quotas among the various exporters. But, once the motivation was provided by US involvement in the Yom Kippur War, they made a conscious decision to raise prices by cutting supply. And because they were able to avoid competition, it worked! Even though households do not buy barrels of oil, it caused terrible inflation. It drove up the prices of anything that used petroleum or petroleum-based products, it raised the price of gas and, therefore, anything that needed to be transported, and it caused inflation in other energy sources as users shifted to those products. Market power–not money growth–caused this inflation. The money supply only rose as a result of the fact that firms and consumers took out larger loans and sold assets for cash. The Federal Reserve acted as it should have done in these circumstances, accommodating this increased demand.
(Note that having market power does not give carte blanche to raising prices. Even monopolists can only charge so much before consumers stop buying their products. However, they have the incentive and ability to engage in periodic attempts to capture more income for themselves. I won't go into the specifics of when and how they do so here, but this phenomenon is discussed in detail in Alfred Eichner's classic study of the microeconomy, Megacorp and Oligopoly: Micro Foundations of Macro Dynamics, Cambridge U Press, 1976. Thought it's a little dated, the basic lessons still apply.)
The impact of the inflation of the 1970s and 1980s was hardly even, and this is always the case. Remember that when you pay more for something, the person on the other side of the register is also getting more. It depends on individual buying patterns and particularly where you earn your salary. With the OPEC inflation, those in the oil industry, while facing the same rising prices at the gas pump, grocery store, etc., as everyone else, were actually better off than they had been before because their salaries and profits rose at a higher rate. This was especially true of those in the OPEC countries who controlled the oil supplies. The inflation process redistributed income towards them–that was the whole point, wasn't it? This fact is exceedingly important to understand. Inflation never affects everyone equally. It shifts buying power from one group to another (even though the winners may still complain because they see themselves as hurt by the overall price increases–what they don't understand is their role in causing the latter!). In fact, it is the very attempt to capture more income that is at the heart of the inflationary process under these circumstances. Money supply growth did not cause prices to rise, OPEC's attempt to grab a larger income share did. No amount of controlling the money supply was going to eliminate the ultimate impact of rising oil prices: the redistribution of income towards those countries and the oil industry.
As a very quick aside, it's worth pointing out that just because the market created a particular price, wage, profit rate, or income does not mean that it is somehow objectively "fair." These numbers only quantify our existing social values. There are, of course, more purely economic forces at work, too. Gold is more valuable than silver because there is less of it. But can we truly justify the wages and incomes earned by African Americans in the 1950s as economically reasonable, simply a function of their productivity? The fact of the matter is that a free-market system in a racist society reflects and reinforces racist values. Markets are people, and the preferences of those people, for good or bad, end up in the prices we see. My point here is that there may be times when we would, as a nation, actually prefer to alter the outcomes created by competitive pressures. Desegregation interfered with the market mechanism and the forces of competition, as did movements aimed at creating safer workplaces. Furthermore, paying African Americans more and reducing the chances of on-the-job injuries caused inflation (because they raised costs) and redistributed income. Was this justifiable or not? Unfortunately, these are not simple questions.
With greater demand (relative to supply as you have noted) companies can raise prices, and they do, simply because they wish to make more money which they could not do when those people had no money
This is wrong. Companies don't raise money first but increase supply. This is because raising prices risks losing market share (see under "competition"). Increasing market share beats making money off existing market share any time. Besides, there are costs to raising prices (reprinting catalogs etc.) No, the firms raise prices only when they cannot meet the increased demand with increased supply. Which was Prof. Harvey's point to begin with.
This seems unlikely to me or at least depends on the good in question. A car cannot just be created and shipped across the country at a moment's notice if a dealership is dealing with intense demand. If two people want the same Volkswagen, the dealership doesn't keep the price at X and flip a coin to see who gets it. The initial mechanism will be to raise prices, rather, because real-world supply of goods is not immediate.
Also, I own a company and I would much rather make money from my existing market share paying a higher price than make the same amount of money by expanded market share paying a lower price. If I can make a million dollars from one of a good why would I prefer to go through the trouble of instead making a million of a good for one dollar? I believe it is competition from similar producers that keeps prices stable. In an atmosphere of high demand for your product, however, this becomes immaterial as consumers have decided that your product is worth the higher price. This seems like a fairly common-sensical notion, but maybe I am mistaken. Where, if I may ask, did you come by your opposing assumption that companies prefer high volume to high prices?
I believe this is parallel to Milton Friedman's helicopter explanation. Your key statements are "When they are all of a sudden given more money for whatever reason, they get a chance to fulfill those desires. They buy…With greater demand companies can raise prices…"
You are absolutely correct that if money just magically appears in people's hands they will spend it and it will ultimately cause inflation. That's actually the argument that Milton Friedman made a long time ago (he used a helicopter dropping money as the mechanism by which this money appeared, fyi). Yet, this is a key difference, I think, between the Post Keynesian economics Dr. Harvey is describing and Monetarist/Neoclassical economics; while it is okay to base Monetarist theories on inexplicable appearances of money, Post Keynesian based theories have the constraint of reality.
You see, in reality, money doesn't suddenly appear in your hands. It must be obtained through conscious effort, such as the selling of one's ownings of Treasury Bills. But people don't just randomly cash out their assets – they have to have a reason. In the Post Keynesian vein, that reason is to afford the rising prices (inflation) in the real economy. Thus in Post Keynesian theory, inflation CAUSES a growth in the money supply, whereas in Monetarist theory growth in the money supply CAUSES inflation. The Post Keynesians have in their corner a real-world explanation of the cause-effect relationship rather than a hypothetical helicopter dropping free cash.
Prof Harvey. Isn't there an additional source of inflation coming from wages growth, which in turn is a result of our psychological propensity to expect to be paid more every year even without any increase in our productivity? On another blog this has been posted:
and in the following discussion the question raised:
Shouldn't we have dy/dx = 0 or dy/dx < 0 whenever there is an output gap?
Seems to me that wages growth can explain this phenomenon, but I am not certain. Thanks in advance!
[...] for inflation to be said to exist. So where does inflation come from? Professor John T. Harvey in an excellent summary gives four main sources: (1) Market power: This is monopoly plain and simple. I stole all the [...]
Your column left out some important facts about oil prices. The Texas Railroad Commission Commission controlled the world balance of supply and demand until 1971, when US oil production peaked and US imports skyrocked. So political will by OPEC became possible and effective only when they controlled the marginal supply. They lost that control by the early 1980s due to conservation and increased oil production from Alaska, the North Sea, and other places, so oil prices plummeted. OPEC's market share has recovered to 40%, and if we are not smart enough to increase our domestic liquid fuel supplies, OPEC will get us again and again over the coming decades.
This is taken from your article "Money Growth Does Not Cause Inflation":
MV = Py
400 x 5 > 10 x 100
there is no reason that this could not lead to the rise in y shown below as those spending their "excess money balances" actually cause entrepreneurs to raise output to meet the new demand:
MV = Py
400 x 5 = 10 x 200
This statement is very questionable. If the product is potatoes, even with high unemployment, people starve without potatoes so they are eating all they are able. y therefore, cannot go up because there is simply no demand. The price has to go up.
Other things that people buy are items made in say, China, but if they buy those things that will not put people to work in the U.S. Your ideas are over-simplified.
The most costly things that people buy are cars and houses. There is a long-term over-supply of both these items, so what exactly are you going to raise demand on? I am afraid that you are trying to solve a long-term problem with a short-term answer. And you have to solve it, and solve it, and solve it indefinitely. And because goods are made so cheaply in other parts of the world, in order to trade with them you will have to give them money that they may not accept, and that has already started to happen. the drop in the U.S. dollar tells us that U.S. credit is becoming N/G. Listen to Moody! Sorry, but you will not fix anything by printing more money; you are just kicking the can down the road.
Short-term solutions to long-term problems will just not work. J. M. Keynes assumed that all debts were paid to begin with so in a depression a short-term solution was O.K. But that is not the case now. Get real!
How about Hyperinflation? Would it be correct to say that your primary causes of price increases listed above function when an economy is in "normal" mode but hyperinflation occurs when the economy goes way beyond normal and massive "printing" of money leads to massive price hikes that end in an exponential and rapid financial insanity
So we got out of the 1970s recession by printing more money? Nonsense – in fact, the opposite is true. The Fed raised interest rates, crushing inflation. This, using the economic principles you laid out, lowered demand and the monetary supply. But how could lowering demand actually bring us out of a recession? Because it brought down demand of oil, which in turn brought down oil prices, which brought down prices in general. See the point?
Although your articles are very thought provoking and otherwise interesting, they fail to pass the logic test. Sorry!
I do agree that inflation is probably not caused by more money in the system but rather ofcourse due to the imbalances of supply, and demand in certain sectors of the economy. That is how I see it…..
My evolving project may also be of great interest. http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Transfinancial_Economics

By Joan Ivy
The Cline family of Clarksville, Arkansas, makes an unusual pilgrimage every year. After donning bat T-shirts and buttons, they tie batdanna scarves around their Rotweillers necks and head to the annual Bat-o-Rama at Arkansas Devils Den State Park near Fayetteville. Like many other visitors, the Clines have been coming to this event for the last decade because of one dedicated chiropteran crusaderpark interpreter Harry Harnish. Harnish created Bat-o-Rama in 1990, and it now draws crowds in the hundredsand sometimes more than a thousandfrom Arkansas and surrounding states. From slide programs to guided hikes to bat-house-building demonstrations, his two-and-a-half-day festival offers batty activities for everyone.
Early on, there werent many signs that Harnish would become the Batman of northwest Arkansas. Although he had more than 20 years experience as an interpreter, Harnish had never encountered a bat before arriving at Devils Den in the mid-1980s. Once there, he learned about the parks colony of endangered Ozark big-eared bats (Corynorhinus townsendii ingens). Determined to map the many caves in the park (more than 60 in one ten-acre area), Harnish set out to make a notation of every cave opening he came across. Upon returning to one of the least accessible openings, Harnish and a caver friend discovered a room with unfamiliar bats. Armed with a detailed description, he called a bat knowledgeable colleague and was told that his mystery species was, in fact, the endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis).
With this discovery, Harnish was hooked on bats and joined BCI, determined to learn all he could. He then attended one of BCIs Bat Conservation and Management Workshops and began experimenting with bat houses at the park. Harnish currently oversees nine houses of varying sizes that have attracted both bachelor and maternity colonies of big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus). He meticulously records his tenants activities each year for BCIs North American Bat House Research Project. This past year, his maternity colony had 45 pups and moved between houses more than 12 times!
As Harnishs bat expertise grew, word of his knowledge spread, and he became known as the regional authority. In the past, teachers had asked Harnish to make presentations to their students on mammals, insects, and other nature topics. In more recent years, 95 percent of requests have been specifically for bat talks. Harnish estimates having educated more than 20,000 people through Bat-o-Rama and other appearances, and his efforts have won him the Directors Special Commendation for improving the publics awareness and attitude toward bats from the Director of Arkansas State Parks.
In addition to monitoring bat houses, Harnish also keeps watch over the bats natural homes in caves, crags, and crevices throughout the park. When he found trash and other evidence of human intrusion in an important big-eared bat roost, it was clear the interpretive sign warning people to stay out was not adequate. Because the cave entrance wasnt suitable for gating, Harnish decided to create an alarm instead. He contacted the inventor of the speloggera device that measures light occurrencesand asked him to make some alterations. With grant money from
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the new customized device was installed and wired to buzz the park office when anyone with a light entered the cave [BATS, Summer 1992]. Harnish is satisfied this is a more powerful deterrent
to would-be cave intruders, and reports that to date, the device has caught people on two occasions. In both instances, the parties were fined for trespassing.
As Bat-o-Rama approaches its eleventh year, Harnish is once again busy on his batmobile phone (one of many gifts from bat fans) making arrangements for this years activities. Plans are still in the works (see right), so interested attendees should call the park first to confirm dates. Now that word is out to all of BCIs members, perhaps Harnish will see his largest crowd ever.
Joan Ivy is Associate Editor of BATS.
11th Annual Bat-o-Rama
BCI Public Information Manager Bob Benson will be the guest speaker at this years Bat-o-Rama. We are pleased to announce that Benson will take this opportunity to present BCIs Distinguished Service Award to Harry Harnish, in recognition of Harnishs unwavering commitment to bat conservation and public education.
June 9-11, 2000 is the tentative date for Bat-o-Rama XI. Activities begin Friday night with a slide program about the park bats. Saturday includes bat- house-building, films, games, and the evening guest speaker. Sundays crevice exploration hike takes place in the morning, followed by an audiovisual program.

American's 50% Buy-Miles Bonus Is Back
American's best-ever buy-mile bonus, which expired on December 31, 2012, is making a comeback.
Offer Details
Through February 28, AAdvantage members who purchase miles will earn the following mileage bonuses:
- 1,500 bonus miles when buying 5,000 - 9,999 miles
- 3,000 bonus miles when buying 10,000 - 14,000 miles
- 4,500 bonus miles when buying 15,000 - 19,000 miles
- 10,000 bonus miles when buying 20,000 - 29,000 miles
- 15,000 bonus miles when buying 30,000 - 39,000 miles
- 20,000 bonus miles when buying 40,000 - 49,000 miles
- 25,000 bonus miles when buying 50,000 - 59,000 miles
- 30,000 bonus miles when buying 60,000 miles
Unlike last year's buy-miles bonus that applied both to miles purchased for the member's own AAdvantage account and to miles purchased as gifts for others, this offer only applies to purchases made for one's own account.
Another change from last year: The annual limit on purchased miles appears to have been raised from 40,000 to 60,000 miles.
Deal or No Deal
With the exception of US Airways, which routinely boasts a 100 percent bonus on purchased miles, the typical bonus offered by airlines in their buy-miles promotions is 20 or 25 or 30 percent.
Since by almost any measure, the normal selling price of miles is significantly higher than their actual value, such modest bonuses just aren't enough to turn a bad deal into a decent deal, much less a good deal.
The all-in price for 90,000 miles, including the bonus, is $1,808.75 ($1,650 for 60,000 miles, plus a $35 processing fee, plus $123.75 Federal Excise Tax). That's 2.01 cents apiece.
So, can you redeem the miles to squeeze more than 2 cents each in value from them? Redeeming 25,000 miles for a flight that would normally cost $500 would nominally net a 2-cent-per-mile return. But when you consider the hassle factor in booking capacity-controlled award seats, you'd probably want to use $600 as your breakeven. Since 25,000 miles is the price of a domestic award ticket, and the great majority of domestic flights can be purchased for less than $600, it's hard to justify buying the miles at 2 cents each.
On the other hand, 90,000 miles is almost enough for a business-class award trip between the U.S. and Europe. A round-trip business-class flight between Los Angeles and London on American prices out at $8,376. And therein lies a compelling proposition. Buy a revenue ticket for $8,376. Or combine 10,000 miles from your account with 90,000 miles purchased for $1,809 and book it as an award ticket.
In that scenario, even accounting for the hassle factor, buying miles looks like a winning strategy.
Reader Reality Check
Have you purchased miles from an airline? Were you able to get good value for them?

This Letter to the Editor is from Cindy Erickson, Regional CEO, American Red Cross.
This time of year generally brings out the best in people, and we have certainly seen that here at the American Red Cross.
Because Service to the Armed Forces is a key mission area for the Red Cross, during the month of November, we asked the community to help send holiday greetings to service members around the world, their families and veterans in homes and hospitals.
While a holiday card might sound like a small thing, we hear every year that it means a great deal to those who are away from their homes and/or families. Last year, the American Red Cross collected and sent an amazing 1.3 million cards around the world… and 4,000 of those cards came from St. Louis.
This year, partnering with the St. Louis Rams, the St. Louis Red Cross set a goal to collect and send 25,000 signed cards. I am thrilled to report that with the remarkable support of the community, including local schools and faith-based groups, along with our partners and sponsors, we collected more than 41,000 cards! The region exceeded the goal by more than 15,000.
We are sincerely grateful to our partners, the St. Louis Rams and Fleishman-Hillard. Defensive End Chris Long was our honorary chair; he appeared on the holiday card and in the PSA. Fleishman-Hillard graciously produced collaterals for the campaign. Hardees and BP sponsored the event and served as collection sites for cards from the public.
Our heart-felt thanks also goes out to the many in the community who took a moment to make or sign a card, and to those who rallied their friends, co-workers and neighbors to do the same.
This holiday season, our St. Louis community helped to make it a little brighter for those service men and women and veterans who have provided the ultimate sacrifice in preserving our great American freedoms.
Warmest Holiday Wishes,
Cindy Erickson
Regional CEO, American Red Cross

By virtue of winning their weight classes this weekend, Grippi of Bedford Hills, N.Y., McGilvray of Manalapan, N.J., and Longo of Ardsley, N.Y. all earned bids to compete in the NCAA Championships on March 9-10 in La Crosse, Wisc. This is the first time since 2007 that Springfield College will send three wrestlers to the NCAA Championships.
Host Wesleyan University won the competition with 126 points, edging Springfield College by just .5 points for the title. Wesleyan's 1/2 point win is tied for the closet finish in NEWA Championship history, which also occurred in 1990. Johnson & Wales (87.5), Roger Williams (80), and Rhode Island College (71) rounded out the top five.
Grippi earned his second New England title in three years and will go to the NCAA Championships for the third-straight season as he defeated Joey Schwartz from Wesleyan, 11-2, at 133. McGilvray will make his first trip to the national tournament as he edged Plymouth State's Femi Wheeler, 3-2, at 157. Longo was the Pride's third champion as he cruised past Luke Taylor from Coast Guard, 10-1.
Currently, Grippi is ranked eighth nationally and Longo is ranked ninth in their respective weight classes. As a team, the Pride is ranked 11th in the country.
Nick Camera was the runner-up at 184 and Jeremy Burns finished third at 197. Unseeded Joe Ortiz also had a breakout performance as he placed third at 141, while Erik Hamick was fifth at 149, and Mike Fish also took fifth at 174. Tommy Casper placed sixth at 125.
Each wrestler who finished in the top six earned All-New England honors. Springfield's nine New England honorees were the most in the competition from one school.

Mayoral candidate and At-Large City Councilor John Connolly is opening a new campaign headquarters at 162 Belgrade Ave., in Roslindale - but according to Google's streetview, the location is taken by Michael Flaherty's 2009 mayoral campaign.
Connolly laughed when told about it, "I'll see if I can get the Google satellites to update the picture."
West Roxbury Patch tweeted about the new campaign location, which Ryan O. Ferguson, tweeted back about the current Google streetview for the location: "Streetview has Flaherty for Mayor 09 sign!#badjuju RT @WestRoxPatch: John Connolly opening campaign office|162 Belgrade Av #bospoli #mapoli"
Asked whether it was bad luck? Connolly retorted, "No. We had it in 2011 and we won. We changed the luck on it already. We'll perform some type of exorcism as needed."
Of course, the 2009 Flaherty signs are not there, especially with Flaherty running for at-large city council once again. Connolly's campaign will surely have the location packed with Connolly on Saturday, when volunteers are meeting at 10 a.m. to go out and gather signatures.

A Day in the Life of Josh
Discover how a computer science major from New Braunfels, Texas views daily life on campus.
- What is a typical day for you on campus?
The amount of time spent studying depends on the class entirely. Any science class (biology, chemistry, physics, math) involves hours upon hours of studying. Other classes I can get away without studying. I have been to two universities. At the University of North Texas some entry-level classes were very large with over 250 students and I skipped class a lot. Some classes I skipped over 80% of the time, just because I wasn't missed, and wasn't learning while I was there. I now go to Trinity University, where class size is much smaller (almost every class I have is less that 20). The professor notices when you are gone and it has an impact on your grade. Thus, I have not skipped class very often at Trinity. As for extracurricular activities, I typically run before class. In the evening, there are usually intramural sports, depending on the season, or parties.
- What do you do for fun? Do you stay at school and get involved with the recreational activities available on campus or go home over the weekend?
During the daytime, my free time consists of napping, browsing the Internet, playing video games with people in the hall, or chilling with the roommate doing errands. At night, I go play pool or hang out at a friend's house. There's not much of a city life around my school, which is why I go home on weekends quite often. For two years, I lived really far from home, and now I'm about 30 miles away. Some of my best friends still live in my old town, and there are things to do that are more exciting there than at my school.
- That's the biggest difference between life in high school and life in college?
In high school, there was no point to studying, or taking books home. In college, most of your work is done outside the classroom. I think that and the freedom from being away from your parents are huge.
- What's the easiest way to meet people and make friends?
You walk up, introduce yourself, and start talking. But most people aren't that brave, and usually I'm not either. I meet people in class, or through other people.
- How did you decide on a major?
I have always been interested in computers and engineering. So I started doing computer science, and it has been really easy and fun for me. Plus, it won't take too long to complete.
- What were the most helpful classes you took in high school to prepare you for college?
I was only in high school until my sophomore year. The classes I took in high school did not come even close to preparing me for college.
- Is there enough help available if you have trouble with a class?
Usually I ask other students to help me out. Professors are usually really helpful as well. I have never tried the mentor path.
- How did you choose a college or university?
Money was a crucial factor. I wanted to go to Rice initially. I wasn't accepted. Then I wanted to go to the University of Texas at Austin, which would have cost more than Trinity. My mom made me apply to Trinity, and I ended up going there because of their scholarship and financial aid programs.
- Do you live on campus or off campus? What advantages or disadvantages are there to living on or off campus?
At Trinity, you are expected to live on campus for three years or until your senior year, whichever comes first. The coming year will be the first one living off campus for me. I don't know the differences yet.
- If you could go through high school again, what would you do differently?
I would not participate in band. Participate in clubs.
- Do you consider your college lifestyle to be balanced and healthy?
Usually, yes. Relaxation is definitely there. Sleep is hard to come by sometimes. Nutrition I will have to work on, now that I'm living by myself.

|Seahawks Perform Well in Latest APR
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – On the 10th anniversary of its creation, all 19 of UNCW's intercollegiate athletic teams have achieved a satisfactory score on the Academic Progress Rates (APR) report released late Tuesday by the NCAA.
The report follows last week's announcement that the UNCW baseball and women's tennis teams compiled a perfect 1,000 score and earned a Public Recognition Award for their work in the classroom.
The Seahawk men's basketball team, which sat out the postseason in 2012-13, has been cleared to participate in the Colonial Athletic Association's 2013-14 postseason tourney in Baltimore, Md.
"We're very pleased with the academic progress of our student-athletes and today's APR announcement is certainly a testament to the efforts of our student-athletes, coaches and academic support staff," said Director of Athletics Jimmy Bass. "We want to congratulate all of our student-athletes for taking their studies seriously and achieving a wonderful balance of academics and athletics."
Every NCAA Division I team calculates its APR each academic year, based on the eligibility, graduation and retention of each scholarship student-athlete. Teams scoring below certain thresholds can face consequences, such as practice restrictions and restrictions on postseason competition. Rates are based on the past four years' performance and the most recent APRs are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 academic years.
In the NCAA's high-profile sports, the average four-year APR for men's basketball is 952, up two points from last year. Women's basketball is up two points to 972, while football and baseball remained steady at 949 and 965, respectively.
In order to compete in the 2013-14 postseason, teams must achieve a 900 multi-year APR or a 930 average over the most recent two years.
According to the NCAA's latest APR figures, 18 teams will be ineligible for the 2013-14 postseason, compared with 15 teams in 2012-13. Overall, 36 teams with APRs below 900 are facing consequences, including restrictions on practice and regular season competition, and other sanctions.
The NCAA provides APR adjustments for student-athletes who transfer with certain grade-point averages and those who leave in good academic standing for professional athletics careers.

Grinder prevents expensive maintenance of downstream process equipment
Moyno® Pipeliner™ grinder prevents expensive maintenance of downstream process equipment by eliminating ragging in secondary and tertiary sludge applications. The Pipeliner provides an effective solution to the disruptive, time-consuming problem of inconsistent particle size frequently associated with handling solids in wastewater treatment processes. This self-contained solids reduction unit minimizes clogging and shortens mixing and filtration cycles. The Pipeliner is a single shaft grinder with self-adjusting cutters. Additional product features include a spring-loaded cutter assembly, which maintains constant force against the shearplate, resulting in prolonged cutter life; rugged and long-lasting tungsten carbide cutters; quick, on-site cutter replacement without disconnecting the piping; single mechanical seal with silicon carbide faces; and 15mm standard shearplate hole, with optional hole sizes of 6, 8, 10 and 20mm available.

What an interesting way to get people interested in reading! Book trailers are like movie trailers, but for books! You can find them all over the internet now, but here is a site that's featuring them on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/booktrailers
Can you please repost the WWE reading LOGS. They are printing scrambled on our printers. Thank you.
We are celebrating Teen Read Week with extended library hours before school just for the Middle School. The kids are having a book swap and we are serving snacks. There will also be a suggestion box and book wish list for the students to add their ideas and wanted titles for our library. We will be voting for the Teen Top Ten during these extended hours.
Teen Read Week at Harrison County Public Library
We are inviting all Harrison County Teens to drop by the library for Teen Read Week and put their name in a drawing to win free books, french fries from Wendy's, a Brisinger mini poster, and other items. On Saturday, we will have a Monster Mash party at 4:00pm for anyone to come in costume, have snacks, and participate is some fun activities. At 4:45 we will walk to the Fair Grounds, put together our T.A.G. Disney themed float, then march in Corydon's annual Halloween Parade.
The T.A.G. coordinator will visit all 5 Harrison County Jr.-Sr. high schools and one middle school to promote our activities at the library.
Teen Read Week at the Duxbury Free Library
- Teen Read Week at the Duxbury Free Library ****
We kicked off Teen Read Week here in Duxbury by holding a, "Infinite Playlist Dance," where teens came from all around our region dressed as a character from their favorite teen lit book and some brought CDs with a favorite song to play. We are going to create a playlist that we send out to all participants. Characters represented were: Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter), Blair (Gossip Girls), James and Rosalie(Twilight series), Zorro, Mia Thermopolis (Princess Diaries), Charlie )Perks of Being a Wallflower), and more. We were able to bring in the outreach van from one of the Boston rock stations who ran contests and gave out prizes, too. We're planning to start voting for our favorite "Books with Bite" at our Knitwits meeting on Tuesday and our Bookmarks meeting on Wed.s Lots of strong favorite to vote for! We're coming off quite a local buzz about our street theater demo. for Banned Books Week last weekend, <http://www.patriotledger.com/news/education/x1829617431/Duxbury-teens-protest-book-banning> so the teens are pumped about reading as an act of civil liberties.!

Most of the debate in today's financial crisis has been focused on the question "what should be done?" There has been little consensus, thus far. The reason is that we've failed to settle on what outcome we want from any potential action... or non-action.
Do we (America) want to just stabilize the markets regardless of personal responsibility for firms? Do we want to allow firms who made bad bets suffer the consequences of their choices? Do we have a low threshold for economic pain, requiring a big bailout, or are we willing to take a recession and let the markets fix themselves? Do we want to take this opportunity to reset the "rules of the game" in a free market system? Do we want to cover investor, despite their mistakes, so that lending can continue in America? Do we want to protect Main Street so that people don't lose their savings over $100,000 FDIC insured money?
Underlying the debate over what to do is this lack of consensus on what the end game should be. Some ends are mutually exclusive; others can be combined and met together. In the end there can be debate over the economics of cutting capital gains taxes. There can be arguments over the economic ramifications for the future of bailing out firms and skewing their risk adjustment thinking. The issue of socialism creeping into American policy can be hashed out. But the end has to be determined first.
There aren't really two sides in the debate, but rather several different arguments, some of which are:
Capitalists should look for an outcome that includes elimination of harmful regulations (such as adjusting the mark-to-market rules to a three or five year), letting Wall Street investors who made big risks lose their shirts, businesses being able to cover their illiquid assets, a price benchmark set for mortgage-backed securities, and the return of investor confidence. Some of those outcomes are shared goals; others are not.
But to meet these goals while retaining the capitalist principle that the government shouldn't be bailout out firms with taxpayer money America would have to accept the possibility of a six-month to one-year recession. It is significant to note that historically, the economy moves up and down in cycles and this is a cleansing period for the financial markets. Yet, there are many Americans who are willing to accept this. And for them the capitalist response doesn't meet their ends. This is what has to be worked out before a solution is reached.
Although the bailout plan is on the ropes, it will probably be worked out in the end, to the chagrin of capitalists. Fingers-crossed that the successful stalls of the RSC will continue.

Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal.William Clark
Although our intellect always longs for clarity and certainty, our nature often finds uncertainty fascinating.Carl von Clausewitz
Our desire to conserve wildlife for our children and our children's children forces us to bring out into the open conservation's secret question : Does God give a prize for the maximum number of human beings? Put another way, which shall we bequeath to our grandchildren : human life with nature, or human life without nature?Garrett James Hardin
There are no small number of people in this world who, solitary by nature, always try to go back into their shell like a hermit crab or a snail.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
As long as we abide in Christ, our action is from Him, not from our own corrupt and broken nature.Horace Bushnell
Society is not, as is commonly supposed, the development of nature, but rather her dismantling and entire recasting. It is a second building made from the ruins of the first.Nicolas Chamfort
Nature didn't tell me Don't be poor; and certainly didn't say: Get rich; but she did shout: Always be independent!Nicolas Chamfort
Democracy is, by the nature of it, a self-canceling business; and it gives in the long run a net result of zero.Thomas Carlyle
Nature admits no lie.Thomas Carlyle
The natural pattern of current astronomy is provided by the cryptic unity of nature itself (belief in which is the chief act of faith of the scientist).Nigel Calder
The fact that in Germany the politics were of the Right and in the United States of the Left should not mislead us. In both places the universities gave way under the pressure of mass movements, and did so in large measure because they thought those movements possessed a moral truth superior to any the university could provide. Commitment was understood to be profounder than science, passion than reason, history than nature, the young than the old.Allan David Bloom
Talking comes by nature, silence by wisdom.Proverb
Novelists are perhaps the last people in the world to be entrusted with opinions. The nature of a novel is that it has no opinions, only the dialectic of contrary views, some of which, all of which, may be untenable and even silly. A novelist should not be too intelligent either, although he may be permitted to be an intellectual."Anthony Burgess
Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"Robin Williams
It is my experience that awareness of nearness of God and reverence for that power creates reverence for self, reverence for the other, reverence for nature and reverence for the entire creation, and devotion as an expression of gratitude to God can turn into a social force to bring about transformative changes in all aspects of human life and at all levels of society.Pandurang Shastri Vaijnath Athavale
Knowledge was inherent in all things. The world was a library and its books were the stones, leaves, grass, brooks and the birds and animals that shared, alike with us ,the storms and blessings of the earth. We learn to do what only the student of nature ever learns, and that is to feel beauty. We never rail at the storms, the furious winds ,the biting frosts and snows. To do so intensifies human futility, so whatever comes we should adjust ourselves by more effort and energy if necessary, but without complaint. Bright days and dark days are both expressions of the Great Mystery, and the Indian reveled in being close the the Great Holiness.Chief Luther Standing Bear
Art is the perfection of nature.Sir Thomas Browne
Science, like art, is not a copy of nature but a re-creation of her.Jacob Bronowski
A widespread taste for pornography means that nature is alerting us to some threat of extinction.James Graham Ballard
Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.Francis Bacon
One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.Walter Bagehot
Nature does nothing uselessly.Aristotle
Prosperity can change man's nature; and seldom is any one cautious enough to resist the effects of good fortune.Curtis Rufus Quintus

You Should Know About Coffee Mornings
Nice concept here from a couple friends of The Egotist to begin building a community of idea sharing in Denver. Here's more from the people who run it. A few months ago we decided to create a forum for people to talk about interesting things. It sounds kind of vague but as advertising strategy types we love to talk about emerging ideas with interesting people, and even meet them in the real world. Along with a growing number of planners around the world, we thought a good way to do this would be by hosting a Coffee Morning in our fair city of Denver. We think there are a variety of interesting people in Denver who would enjoy a good chat over a cup o' joe. And we're eager to create a casual forum for Denver's advertising minds. More details can be found on the inventors' sites here and here as well as some links to other coffee mornings that will give you a sense of where the idea is heading.
