Limbaugh: Why aren't they begging Rubio to run?
posted at 4:10 pm on September 30, 2011 by Tina Korbe
While Michael Reagan and Newt Gingrich plead with Republicans to cut each other some slack, Rush Limbaugh is in a camp with Michele Bachmann and others who believe the GOP doesn't have to settle for a less-than-completely-conservative candidate in 2012. On his program yesterday, the radio talker reiterated that position — and cited the Republican establishment's lack of demands for a Marco Rubio candidacy as evidence that Republican operatives are more concerned with electability than conservatism at a time when it should be the other way around:
Let me ask you, why do you think they're not begging Rubio to run? Rubio has been just as adamant as Christie that he doesn't want to run. In a contest of conservatism, Rubio wins versus Christie. So why are they not asking Rubio to run? …
Part of it is, I think, that they genuinely believe that whoever the other nominees are can't win. That's another thing that frosts me. I think Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd could beat Obama in this election coming up because I think this is going to largely be about Obama. It's going to be a referendum on his outright destruction of the wealth-creating genius of this country. I think Elmer Fudd could win, but I'm more concerned than that. I don't want to just get rid of Obama, I want to take advantage of the opportunity we have to finally get a genuine, full-fledged, unapologetic conservative because this is going to be a major task … rolling this stuff back. It's going to take more than one election, and it's going to take somebody fearless. And we're not going to roll this stuff back having compromise and bipartisanship as our primary objectives. …
But Rubio, Rubio would win in a walkover. He's conservative. He's articulate. He's great-looking. He's Hispanic and sounds very smart. How can he possibly lose? If this were the Democrat Party, the party father would probably tell Obama to step aside and let Rubio run, if Rubio were a Democrat. There are more Hispanic voters now than there are blacks, and Rubio's got more experience than Obama had when he decided to run. I don't know how many times Rubio has voted "present" versus Obama. …
Anyway, look, the reason why they're not pushing Rubio… I'm going to answer my own question. That's what I do. I ask myself the best questions I'm ever asked and, therefore, I give the best answers. They're not pushing Rubio because while they praise him, they don't think he has had enough experience yet.
And Rubio is — sorry to say this, folks — another example of the RINOs being wrong.
Is it too soon for Rubio to run? As Rush points out, Rubio has more experience than Obama did. Detractors of candidates like Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain repeatedly cite Obama's inexperience as a reason to not select as the GOP nominee anyone without a meaningful legislative or executive political record. But isn't that pinning the blame on the wrong part of Obama's persona? Does the country feel burned for electing a glib, inexperienced senator — or does the country feel burned for electing a professorial progressive? I think it's the latter — and Rubio, while inexperienced and eloquent, is neither professorial nor progressive. He's a compelling, relatable, hard-working conservative. He's someone I actually want to be the president — not just someone I'd rather have as president than Obama. And he's not someone I want to waste on the vice presidential position, all conventional wisdom right now to the contrary.
It's clear we can't afford another four years of Obama. But can we afford four or eight years of a Republican president who might hold the line on government spending but won't aggressively reverse the problematic progressive gains of the past four years? Four or eight years of that until Rubio is "seasoned" enough to be the president?
Maybe. Rush hasn't quite convinced me. I want a conservative candidate in 2012 — but I want the best possible Rubio if and when he does become president someday down the line. And, for that, I think a few more years won't hurt. Reagan's age was surely an asset in the presidency, enabling him to keep in perspective what might panic younger politicians. It doesn't have anything to do with political experience; it has to do with life experience and the wisdom that comes with it. Rush has gotten better and better and better over time — and so will Rubio. If even Elmer Fudd could win in 2012, let's not encourage Rubio to waste his talents on a throwaway election (or in a throwaway position like the vice presidency). Let's wait for him to run when he's ready. That time, whenever it is, will be the Age of Rubio.

Staunton Way
The Staunton Way is a 8.5 to 20.5 mile route from Queen Elizabeth Country Park, near Petersfield on the South Downs to Staunton Country Park near Havant. You can walk the whole route or one of the six sections, each offering a good day out.There are many interesting buildings and places to visit along the route. The route is well sign posted with the logo of a roe deer on a green arrow.
It's named after Sir George Staunton, an early 19th century Portsmouth MP who created a country estate, which now forms the Staunton Country Park.
Queen Elizabeth Country Park is a naturalist's paradise with acres of quiet woodland and over 20 miles of trails for walkers, cyclists and horse-riders. The beautifully restored, landscaped park and pleasure gardens of Sir George Staunton complete with a lake, mysterious follies, original glasshouses and walled garden.
There are two connecting links (indicated in blue) one at Chalton and one at Finchdean which allow you to choose from a number of shorter circular routes.

Having delivered stronger-than-expected gross gaming revenue (GGR) for four months in a row, Macau is turning out to be a larger gaming market and the industry as a whole deserves an upgrade, says Citi.
A new railway line and a new theme park will drive more mainland visitors to visit Macau. Here are Citi analysts Anil Daswani, George Choi, Raymond Choi and Solomon Chuen:
After the completion of Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Railway (Gongbei extension) in December last year, mainland visitation growth has been accelerating. We expect the strong momentum to continue as visitors can now spend more time at casinos (especially during peak times i.e. Golden Weeks) following the increase in immigration handling capacity in June.
The opening of Chimelong International Ocean Resort (expected in late 2013) will provide new hotel capacity and drive tourist arrivals to Macau.
As a result, the analysts raised their 2013 and 2014 GGR forecasts to $44 billion and $51 billion respectively.
Not only that, Macau casinos' trading multiples also got an upgrade:
We now apply a 12x forward EBITDA multiple when valuing Peninsula casinos and a 13x forward EBITDA multiple when valuing Cotai casinos (previously 11x and 12x, respectively). Our target multiples are roughly +1 StDev above historical mean. In our view, the Macau gaming sector could further re-rate because Macau will be in a sweet spot in 2014, as it will see no new casino supplies until mid-2015.
Melco Crown (MPEL), Sands China (SCHYY) and Galaxy Entertainment (GXYEF) have Cotai properties. SJM Holdings (SJMHF), Wynn Macau (WYNMF) and MGM China (MCHVF) are currently located on the Peninsula.
Of the Macau names, Melco Crown is the top pick, with a target price of $41, followed by Sands China, with a $57.5 target price. Melco Crown last traded in New York at $31. That is a good 30% upside.

Hey there sports fans. Just have one question and it's the title of this thread oddly enough. I came across a collectible cards store in my area that just opened up. The mom and pop owners are selling a bunch of SW, ESB, and ROTJ vintage trading cards by Fleer or Topps or whoever made those original cards.
They are selling them for 15 cents apiece. The cards are in decent but definitely not mint condition. I used to collect them when I was younger and still have about 100 total so I'm thinking about finishing the collection.
Is this asking price decent? I can't find any kind of consensus on the average price for these cards in worn condition. Some people say $1 per and some a quarter per. Some ebay auctions have 30 starting off at $1.
I'm not looking for a steal or to get a full set then selling them. I just want to know if 15 for a used SW vintage card is a decent price.

Well...#2 is legal, #1 is not. I guess I don't understand why everyone is trying to look for loop holes and justification.If you want a hard copy buy the CD...if you only want a digital copy buy the download. Seems pretty simple to me. When it is ambient music or something I consider that sound quality is worth it, I buy the CD. If it was something like say the new U2 or Depeche Mode album, I BUY the 256k files from Amazon or iTunes.Paul
I thought I'd respond to this one, because I'm ostensibly almost part of your generation (I'm 32) and because I find this kind of talk of alternate ethics and cultural/technical appropriation sneakily narcissistic and worth bringing up. I'm not going to harp on the ethics issues because this part of the argument is clear: if you don't conform to common laws, even if you're right (and I don't believe you are), you are still "jumping somebody else's train" so to speak. You shouldn't steal what doesn't belong to you, and the end does not justify the means. The art you are creating and the enjoyment you are having are based on somebody's laborlabor they expected to get paid to do, to feed families and pay taxes and drive compact cars to work to support their art.I think the more interesting thing to discuss is a not-so-subtle implication of entitlement (which is absolutely generational), and also the argument that these things should be made free (software, the world's music supply, etc.) so that you can create art with total freedom and artistic abandon, and thereby advance art and human culture through your own efforts. Am I misreading what you're typing there?Ignoring the fact that protecting intellectual property (and I'm not talking RIAA here) has undoubtedly benefited more artists over the years than it has suppressed (first example that springs to mind is the terrible case of the creators of Superman), there is the plain fact that all artists prior to today's generation managed to somehow create great art, music, films, and culture without every part of culture at their disposal (and ignoring that limitations might create better art than a lack of limitations would). Perhaps we are moving more toward an art culture of synthesis, where you take preexisting things and make new things from them ... somehow, I don't think so. Guys who sample old records are still making rap and techno, etc. Not exactly great leaps forward in terms of advancing art now that both have been around for 20+ years.What baffles me a bit is the implication that this New Art to be created is so Necessary and so Important, in this age of cultural overproduction (let's admit itdo we really "need" as much ambient music as we already have?), that it is somehow okay to overthrow the current structure where people are able to earn money for their artistic pursuitswhich may not work, since the advent of the internet, but which is able to change to work better over time, if run properlyto have that imaginary art to come that will change the earth? And you need 8000 LPs and 15000 books to do it, and you need them for free? Surely, with talent and effort, 8 LPs and 12 books would be enough ... how much did Picasso have? And how much of those 8000 and 15000 can you truly digest and use, given that you, like most of us, are probably not a genius?Really, it just sounds, to me, (and I don't know you guys at all, of course), that you only want to do what you want to do, you want instant gratification, and you don't want to have to take the necessary steps (paying for music and software and media) to do so. I think this magical future art is just an excuseI'm still waiting to see it.
I also resent the woah is me attitude of, if I did not "steal" software for free, I would not be able to create music. Boo Hoo, if it is that important to you, get a second job for 6 months and save up to buy the software. If someone wants to play guitar is it ok to steal one as it is their fundamental right to be a musician? You are right, this is 100% generational. A generation who has grown up never being told no, or that there are rules or boundaries or ethics other than your own. In know this is a generalization, but sadly not far from the truth....and Bill please start a new topic as I am very interested in your discussion.PV
Here it is: The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Lesshttp://tiny.pl/zc8vObviously, personal limits come into play, too. Do I really "need" 2500 sci-fi paperbacks? Why, yes, yes I do.
I don't disagree with the suggestion there's a sort of glut of ambient music in recent years. I really can't keep up with everything coming out recently, so I mostly try to keep track of the work of artists in the following order:
Quote from: Stellar Auditorium on April 22, 2009, 08:15:06 AMIs listening to some music that you're not going to end purchasing because you didn't find it good enough that much of a crime? It could be considered as a "spiritual crime" perhaps, but if some guy meets Steve Roach tommorow and tells to the man "Hey, I've downloaded most of your music and I was deeply affected by it, it changed the way I see music" do you think he'll be mad at him? I don't know, I can't speak for the man. I can't really speak for Steve, but I feel pretty certain he would be shocked to have someone tell him this. If someone told me they were "deeply affected" by my work, but they had never bothered to purchase a single CD, I'd think here's a pretty selfish person who not only doesn't purchase most of their music, but doesn't even support the work that really means something to them.I honestly CAN see how people can rationalize pirating the newest Britney Spears album or whatever... she's already a millionaire, how much of a difference will it make if I buy one copy, the major labels are giant evil corporations anyway, etc. I can even see how people can take a "try before you buy" attitude, downloading a lot of material and buying legit copies of the stuff they like most.But the idea that people can rationalize pirating the music of an indie artist or label that's bringing in so little money as to barely break even, one of their favorite artists or labels... how does that rationalization go, exactly? The $12 is more important to me than it is to him, besides they didn't actually SEE me download it so there's no proof, anyway the record industry is so corrupt you have to fight against ALL commercial releases, or what?I know you were just offering an example, but I'd say you probably shouldn't walk up to Steve Roach or anyone else and say "Your work deeply affected me but not enough that I was willing to sacrifice anything at all in order to obtain it."

Quote from: Paul Vnuk (Ma Ja Le) on April 22, 2009, 11:45:12 AMUnfortunately, it is true however. According to the law, the minute you sell a cd, you no longer have the rights to own said CD and it is actually illegal to burn it to your library and sell it. Again, it does not matter what you think or feel is right, the law is the law.PVNo, what we feel and think is important. The law isn't some god-given commandment that people should accept a priori, it is a social contract made in order to hold society together. But, law is always imperfect, because society progresses and changes every minute. I believe we should debate rather than blindly accept everything that is imposed towards us, because either these things that the law is supposed to protect by supressing certain actions now might be invalid (hypothesis) or need to be reconfigured to fit recent developments. In our case, we all know we're "breaking" the law by illigally downloading music, but when someone ends up buying it shortly thereafter, how is any damage done? Why should we conform to the status quo when essentially our actions do not harm anyone, and instead offer us roads towards self-expansion? Would it REALLY cause any problem to anyone if we download an album that is our of print and can't be found anywhere else, rip a cd that we have bought from the artist (and then sold for an equal price), or download an album that we have already ordered from the artist as a preview (I think that was the case with Immersion, if I'm not mistaken?) I'd like an honest response concerning this...

I think there are lots of aspects and sides to the discussion and I have to admit I'd not thought about second hand CDs in that way....so lots to learn from.I think my issue with the 'everything for free' comes from the perception that only by taking from others can everything be free and only in a wealthy and 'civilised' society are things organised in ways that make it possible to act on. Immersion said himself that if everyone in his country chose not to work it would collapse (I think thats what you meant). Take it right back to basics - you find yourself on a desert island - how you going to survive? You've got to put your arse into it cos nothing is going to come for free. Even in modern society, someones effort has gone into making everything that might be taken for free - even the torrent websites need someones effort to exist.There is an anarchist philosophy of (cant remember the exact quote) each from their means and according to their needs - but this was always based on co-creation. Some people grow food, others eat that food so they can make the clothes the farmers wear while working type of thing. The idea never envisaged swathes of society just sitting around and eating food made by others, wearing clothes made by others because they can. Accepted response of general population to such people was not pleasant....I suppose, across generations, we may be talking about different ideas of respect, freedom, utopia - and I have had a long history of this type of discussion, including direct action/court cases and prison sentences based on those beliefs and even now they inform my work in that I put a lot of energy to help disadvantaged people left behind by the capitalist society.I know I could not survive on my own and I would prefer not to take from people unless they are giving something away out of respect for them.
Immersion, I think I'll write a few words in response to your posts, mainly because I think the gap (generational, ideological, etc) between the rest of the people that post here and yours is so huge, that is seems impossible for a conversation to happen at this point. You're mistaken in some things you try to present as facts: it's very rare that musicians get such a low percentage of the sales, which is actually the policy of corporate labels and not small/medium size independent labels such as Hypnos. These kind of labels treat the artist in a much fairer way, because they want to give incentive to the artist to sign with them. Besides that, the size of the independent scenes is so small, that BOTH artists and labels can hardly make a living, the earnings are pocket money comparing to a "real" job, and very often these people spend equal and perhaps even more hours per day to this than they would (and they do, of course) at a regular job (do you think that an ambient 1000 copies cd release gets sold right away? It might take even years, if ever). So, I think you should perhaps re-think the concept of "charity" that you seem to look into with contempt: spending 10-15 euros or dollars to buy a recording of an artist (or even label) you are very fond of not only achieves you a personal connection to them, but it ensures that they'll be motivated to continue to produce excellent art in the future, as so many times we have said in this thread. Of course you can't buy everyone's album, but at least try to support these that are truly "important". Which should perhaps also include the labels that made their music known to you, and spent a lot of money (which might not get back) manufacturing the product and promoting it. And all of this hardly has to do anything with illegal downloading.
I think if you start as an artist, you could not expect anything in turn, you ask how the artist is going to survive on music, I think maybe you have wrong expectations, to survive on music is only a dream, and a reality for a very few. To be a musician is not a work, it is not a way to make money as I see it. If you need to pay the bills and get food on the table and still want to be and free/independent music you should take some part time job, maybe a few days each month. Or come up with some other idea. If you accept to live in an lower living standard you really do not need an full time job, a full time job would of course be an total disaster for every creative musician, freedom I think is an important element for every music, as I have said before, it is an lifestyle. The problem is that the quality of the music we are listening today is a product of this "capitalist" system, or the commercialization of music, in other words, and will be deeply affected if the current system collapses, and professional musicians stop to exist. It's not so much about the artistic impulse, I'll actually agree on you on that most musicians do not create their art under the basic premise that they want to make a living out of it (which is still a great factor, let's not forget). There are also many things that come between the process of creating the art and you, listening to it at home. Professional studios for example, will vanish; why should someone pay a huge amount of money at a professional studio when it's impossible to get the money back? Or why should someone continue to massively produce expensive hardware processors and consoles if everyone's working with free, low quality vsts? Or actual instruments? Or pretty much everything that is a part of the music industry? Everything will dwindle or even vanish, and without professional musicians, the quality of the music will never be the same. We'll have instead of one Steve Roach, a million of Steve Roach wanabee composers writing mediocre music in their bedrooms with mediocre means in their free time, and exchanging mp3 files via myspace or something. Think about it.

Well, yes it is ok to question laws and even work to change them. Every democratic society is based on this. You work to change the law and voice your opinion, not break it because you disagree. It not like you are homeless and stealing food for your very survival...you are stealing music because you think it is somehow intrinsically owed to you. The reason it is wrong is that now you are keeping something which you have sold the rights too. If you want it cheaper...you go buy it used and save some money. But the fact that you paid $15 new and could only sell it used for $5 is unfortunately irrelevant. Again you are simply justifying your actions to fit your own paradigm and thus telling me you are entitled to keep the music, even though you are selling the hard copy CD. If you just wanted it digitally in the 1st place...buy the download.This just keeps coming down to: I want to own what I want, I deserve it and it should fit my personal model economy.PV

REMEMBER THIS:The BIG winner in this downloading p2p (etc) frenzy is the BIG internet companies who simply sell access to downloadable files by bandwidth. They are the new capitalists. They of course WANT plenty of free stuff available to download. It's straight money to them. Same for chinese and russian music download sites that charge a dollar or two per album ... they are riding on the backs of other people's labour. They are what the modern internet leads to and they are the scammers -- they are getting paid for the "free" albums and programs you download
I would bet that there's not one person involved in this conversation who has not made a copy of a disk (or made a mix-tape) for a friend, downloaded some rare obscure out-of-print LP, or otherwise broken copyright laws. We've all broken a law at one point or another, some of us more often (and severely) than others. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try aspire to a higher standard.

Kem Sitsongpeenong Wins Toyota Marathon
- Written by Rian Scalia
The Toyota Marathon went down yesterday in Chang Mai, Thailand, with an eight man tournament during the day with four Thai fighters and four Japanese fighters. The four Thais were Kem Sitsongpeenong, Prakaysiang Gaiyanghadaogym, Sirimongkol Sitanuparp and Thepsutin Pumphanmuang. The four Japanese fighters were Kasuya Takeda, Namoto Mashafumi, Chimichi Takeru and "Tsunami Fist," whose real name wasn't provided.
The quarter finals saw two Thai vs. Japanese match-ups and you guessed it, they were both one sided stoppages with Prakaysiang Gaiyanghadaogym stopping Namoto Mashafumi and Sirimongkol Sitanuparp demolishing Tsunami Fist. The other quarter finals saw Kem Sitsongpeenong getting the better of Thepsutin Pumphanmuang to pick up a decision win and Kasuya Takeda beat Chimichi Takeru .
Kem drew Prakaysiang in the semi finals, once again getting the much tougher opponent but it didn't matter as Kem still outdid Prakaysiang to win a decision, showcasing all facets of his game. Sirimongkol got the easy fight in Kasuya Takeda and once again demolished his Japanese counterpart.
Kem and Sirimongkol met in the final and once again, Kem showcased all facets of his game to just simply get the better of Sirimongkol for the whole fight.
For Kem, this was a huge tournament win after a disappointing performance at the IFMA World Muay Thai Championships where he lost to Vitaly Gurkov and ended up with a bronze medal. These were his first pro fights since June where he stopped Alex Asumu.

Histoplasmosis is an infection that occurs from breathing in the spores of the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum.
Ohio River Valley fever; Fibrosing mediastinitis
Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection. It occurs throughout the world. In the United States, it is most common in the southeastern, mid-Atlantic, and central states.
Histoplasma fungus grows as a mold in the soil. You may get sick when you breathe in spores produced by the fungus. Soil that contains bird or bat droppings may have larger amounts of this fungus. The threat is greatest after an old building is torn down or in caves.
Having a weakened immune system increases your risk for getting or reactivating this disease. Very young or very old people, or those with AIDS, cancer, or an organ transplant have more severe symptoms.
People with chronic lung disease (such as emphysema and bronchiectasis) are at higher risk of a more severe infection.
Most people have no symptoms, or only have a mild flu-like illness.
If symptoms do occur, they may include:
The infection may be active for a short period of time, and then the symptoms go away. Sometimes, the lung infection may become long-term (chronic). Symptoms include:
In a small number of patients, histoplasmosis may spread throughout the body, causing irritation and swelling (inflammation) in response to the infection. Symptoms may include:
Histoplasmosis is diagnosed by:
To help diagnose this condition, your doctor may perform:
Most of the time, this infection goes away without treatment.
If you are sick for more than 1 month or are having trouble breathing, your doctor may prescribe medication. The main treatment for histoplasmosis is antifungal drugs. Amphotericin B, itraconazole, and ketoconazole are the usual treatments.
Sometimes, long-term treatment with antifungal drugs may be needed. You may need to take these medications for up to 1 to 2 years.
The outlook depends on how severe the infection is, and the patient's health. Some people get better without treatment. An active infection will usually go away with antifungal medicine, but there may be scarring left inside the lung.
The death rate is higher for people with untreated widespread (disseminated) histoplasmosis whose immune system is not working well.
Scarring in the chest cavity may trap:
Enlarged lymph nodes in the chest (called mediastinal granulomas) may press on body parts such as the esophagus and blood vessels of the lungs.
Call your health care provider if you live in an area where histoplasmosis is common, and you develop flu-like symptoms, chest pain, cough, and shortness of breath. While there are many other illnesses that have similar symptoms, you may need to be tested for histoplasmosis.
Histoplasmosis may be prevented by reducing exposure to dust in chicken coops, bat caves, and other high-risk locations. Wear masks and other protective equipment if you work in these environments.

Call options can be used as a financing tool for fixed-cost renewable energy technologies.
Daniel Simon holds an MBA (finance concentration) from Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. Contact him at email@example.com. The author would like to acknowledge Shimon Awerbuch for his editing and advice improving the charts and figures.
Call options can be used as a financing tool for fixed-cost renewable energy technologies.
An unexploited benefit of renewable energy is the predictability of operating costs over the long term. A renewables operator knows today how much it will cost to produce energy decades in the future. This future price certainty has a value that can be transferred to electricity buyers or other market participants.
Long-term call options, akin to electricity price insurance, can capture some of this value. Short-term call options—options that expire in three years or less—are traded commonly on numerous markets. These include options on energy inputs commodities like coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as energy products, like electricity.
How much value can a renewable-plant operator capture from selling long-term call options, given several future price and volatility scenarios? What will be the cost and benefit to an individual buyer or seller?
Knowledge of Future Costs
Most renewable energy plants require a large upfront equipment and installation cost, followed by smaller, predictable annual costs for operations and maintenance (O&M). To the extent that O&M costs are predictable, a plant operator knows today what it will cost to produce electricity in 10, 15, or even 20 years. This is quite remarkable and valuable information. By contrast, more than 90 percent of the electricity industry does not know its costs beyond a year or two into the future because of the price volatility of fossil fuels.
Energy markets (including electricity) are complex and volatile, with numerous suppliers, inputs, technologies, and other factors that affect electricity prices.
Given current technology, the grid operates best when there is a balance between supply and demand. "Load balancing" is challenging because electricity is difficult to store. The current electricity derivative markets have focused on meeting this challenge.
Market participants are interdependent. Each faces varying degrees of regulation and constraint. Regulation can determine which participant within a given supply chain bears the burden or cost of volatility. Changes in regulation can shift the burden around, but cannot eliminate volatility.
One notable constraint within the North American electricity market is limited transmission capacity among regions. This creates multiple independent regional markets. Also, the U.S. electricity market has been segmented by regulation so that different users pay different prices for the electricity used ( i.e. residential, commercial, and industrial rates). Electricity users often respond only after the fact to price signals ( i.e., after customers get their monthly bills) if at all. Taken together, all these factors contribute to a complex, volatile marketplace.
Electricity Price Insurance
How do you capture the value of cost certainty? A good way would be to sell electricity price insurance, in the form of long-term call options. A call option gives the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to buy the asset at a fixed price at a fixed time in

That's happening in San Diego, too (library hours being cut, staff being retired). It really sucks as many people really enjoy libraries. I did hours upon hours of volunteer work for my local library branch.
You can check out movies there, too. It's way free as compared to NetFlix or Block Buster. I think they even have video games.
Anyway, one proposal is for our City to run a for-profit coffee shop operation in public libraries that will supply each branch with more funds. I think that's a great idea, as it will make libraries even more comfortable than Borders' Book Stores and it will really become the "in-thing" for people to hang out at our public libraries. It was always intended to be that way, anyway.

So comes now that defender of the poor 'gunned-down' politician...understandable since it's his main squeeze that has had gallons of tears cried over her...no less that a retired American Astronaut and hubby of Gabby Giffords. So guess what?
Dear Guns & Patriots reader, What are we to make of retired astronaut Mark E. Kelly, husband of former congresswoman Gabby Giffords?
The problem is not just that Kelly advocates for limiting purchases of the semi-automatic military-style long guns, so- called "assault weapons," and purchases of the high-capacity magazines he just picked up at Daimondback Police Supply, Tucson, Ariz., his local gun store.
Apparently, he really is in favor of limits on the purchases of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, he just believes the limits should not apply to him.
What we are really dealing with is Kelly's Burkean failure to stand up for rights he said he enjoys and cherishes for everyone else.
Until his Tucson shopping trip, Kelly got a hall pass from many supporters of gun rights. The tragedy of his wife's injuries, the others wounded, and the six victims killed Jan. 8, 2011, is so heavy a burden, he and his wife could almost be forgiven whatever they said about anything as they struggle to get back to normalcy.
But, what he if he had taken the other road?
What if Kelly had stood up to defend gun rights for the rest of us?
The truth is that Kelly would stop the opponents of gun rights in their tracks. If he had made the point that the best defense against a spree shooter is an armed citizenry, who would argue with him?

The Avanti Dual Zone Side-by-Side Beverage Center (WBV21DZ) is perfect for wine lovers who may also want an occasional beer or soda. The two zones of the beverage center are separated by a vertical divider and are enclosed by a pair of glass "French" doors. The right side of the cooler has seven wire racks which can hold 21 750-mL bottles. The left side has four shelves for 54 beverage cans.

The wine zone can be set to a temperature of 45° to 65°F allowing you to keep Champagne, Sauvignon Blanc, Chianti, and Bordeauxs ready to pour. The canned-beverage area, on the other hand, has a temperature range of 34° to 43°F. This is near freezing point so you can have really cold brews or sodas for you and your guests. An automatic defrost system assures even temperatures and prevents the build up of ice in the interior cabinet.

Looking for a hearty dinner? Then check out this pork, apples and squash recipe made in slow cooker.
You will want to use a variety of apple that will hold its shape rather than one that will become soft during cooking. Rome Beauty is a good choice. Also, the red color of its skin holds well, and some of the color will bleed into the flesh of the apple pieces during cooking to give it a rosy color.
Butternut squash resembles the shape of a light bulb or pear—wider at one end than the other. It usually weighs between 2 and 3 pounds and has a golden yellow to camel-colored shell. You also can use about 2 pounds of other winter squash, such as hubbard, buttercup or banana, cut into pieces.
Add a wonderful nutty flavor and crunch by sprinkling coarsely chopped toasted nuts over each serving. Try pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts or your favorite nut.

Plasma TV
December 27, 2012, 11:51:17 PM »
I got myself a 50" LG Plasma TV (50PA6500) for Christmas. It has a great picture and sound however I was coursed by the sales person that this will be great for gaming.
Now I am watching YouTube comparisons LCD vs Plasma and the term burn-in is constantly coming up against plasma TVs. It's dead even between it been a problem to its a problem of the past from all I have seen so far.
Can anyone with knowledge of these types of TV's clarify if a gaming run 8-12hr cause burning in on my new TV?
Or if burn-in is still a problem on plasma TV's?
I can see games like GTA that have that constant map and so on been an issue.

I have a 50" LG plasma TV in the media room and right now my son is playing XBOX like crazy. He spends a ton of time up there playing video games and when I kick him out I play games some times. It works great.

No issues with burn-in. The closest you'll see is after watching a letterbox movie is there's a temporary ghost image where the box was which is visible on a fully black screen. It goes away after a few minutes of regular full-screen viewing or just turning off the set and leaving it.
That said I was careful during the first week of viewing. I would change the display from Vivid to something else. Find out what some reccomended callibrated picture settings are for your make/model. It should help improve picture quality better than the default settings. Check some AV forums and see if anyone has posted some settings for the TV there - The AVS Forums are usually a good place to check. After that first week with the TV I didn't give burn in another thought. I have a plasma that's several years old and I think burn in was basically a non-issue then so should still be fine but I'd play it safe for that first week to err on the side of caution.
8-12hrs of gaming though. Wow!

I think these days Image Retention (which is temporary) is more likely than actual burn in. As long as you take the set out of the default "Vivid" mode (make sure your contrast and brightness aren't set way high - better yet calibrate it properly with a DVD or Blu-ray made for such purpose - and you'll be fine). I only buy plasmas because they frankly look better. I would always take the cheapest plasmas over the best LEDs or LCDs, but that's a personal preference.

Thanks guys.
8-12hrs of gaming though. Wow!
I have 3 gamer's beside my self at the house I figure they rotate 2-3 hours each.
I can only do that on my PC Civilization or Anno 2070
I'd play it safe for that first week to err on the side of caution.
So I should avoid letter box programming for the first week or so and then I should be fine?
better yet calibrate it properly with a DVD or Blu-ray made for such purpose - and you'll be fine).
I will have to look for this, the sales person made it sound like it can only be professionally done and will take 3 hours to get it right.
I can't even find a plasma tv around here; they're all LEDs now.
I was drawn to the 720p plasmas that was between all to the 1080p LED\LCD TV's because they just showed a better picture.
My stubbornness to purchase 720 the sale guy was able to find me a 1080 for under $600. signed sealed delivered.

The letter box thing I was refering to is what JCC refered to as temporary image retention which is no big deal. Not the same as burn-in.
Burn-in occurs when a static image is on the screen for hours on end. So with games you usually have a static UI/HUD so there is concern is there. I'm sure its not a big deal anymore but if I was to get a new plasma I'd still play it safe and limit my gaming hours and just watch normal tv content/movies on it.

Check the forums too and see if others have posted their callibrations for your tv make/model. I went this route with my TV and after trying a few callibrations I found some I was happy with the results.

...that will get you 95% of the way there.

I have been worried of this too, but I seem to use the tv for a multitude of things. So it's alot of different images. A little 4:3, alot of games, alot of 1080p 16:9 Netflix. Never something for 12 hrs of he same image. I'm getting less concerned of this as time goes on. Btw, this 1080p 120hz 47 inch slim lg is treating me great so far! Yes that was a shout out to my tv..

You do get burn-in on newer plasma screens, but it's much less of a problem than it used to be. Most of the time it will be temporary, but it's possible to get permanent burn-in. This shouldn't be a problem at all for normal TV viewing, but when playing games you've often got static elements on the screen that can cause problems.
I was extra careful with gaming on my plasma for the first few months after I bought it. During the first few days of heavy use I avoided games with a static UI, and for the time after I always turned off the TV when I took a break.
A plasma screen needs some time (a few hundred hours, I believe) before it establishes itself at the level of performance it will stay on for most of its lifespan. In the early days the picture will be brighter, you might notice artifacts when there's a lot of white on the screen, and there's risk of burn-in. Just try to use the screen responsibly, but also use it a lot so that it can get to the level where you want it. Once that is done, everything should be fine.
Also, follow the advice of others above and properly calibrate the set. You do NOT want to use the same kinds of settings they used in the store.
Edit: For the record, plasma screens can indeed be great for gaming these days. Burn-in and slow response times used to make plasmas useless for gaming a few years ago, but this has changed with improved technology.

I own two of the most expensive TVs from Samsung and Panasonic. The Samsung is LCD and the Panasonic is a plasma. Without a doubt, I would choose the plasma over the LCD any day of the week. And if you professionally calibrate the difference becomes even more pronounced.My recommendation is that you go to the AVS forums and download the static image slideshow onto a USB drive (not a DVD!!!) and let it loop for about two days when you aren't using the TV. Also keep brightness below 50 for the first week or so. I've never had image retention or burn in. Ever. At least with Panasonic, there are so many technologies built into the system that you need to be trying to destroy the TV before you actually get burn in. And by that I mean brightness to 100, contrast to 100, static screen left on for hours, and auto-dimming turned off.
Uninformed People tend to think the static screens (radar, for example) on games are somehow the kiss of death, but in reality the image is broken up enough by saving screens, loading screens, menu screens etc, to refresh the TV.
But with pixel orbiting (wobbling), intelligent auto dimming, screen savers, pixel wash, etc, you really shouldnt worry. Enjoy your TV, BUT walk her for the first few days.
edit---yes, minimize letterboxing if you are a perfectionist for the first few days.

Clicky Analytics with Mediawiki
This is one of those posts I'm making for the benefit of anyone who googles, wondering whether there's a Mediawiki extension to integrate Clicky Analytics.
As of right now, there's not, but there is a good explanation of how you can put some custom code in your LocalSettings.php to integrate any analytics stuff that you like.
Here's a generic version that will work for any analytics system, hopefully cut-and-pasteable. It works fine on my Mediawiki install right now (version 1.20.x) but is not guaranteed for any future versions. Or, well, it's not actually guaranteed for this one, now I think about it. Use it at your own risk, is what I'm saying.
Note that you have to paste the analytics code from your provider in around line 16.
Hope that helps.
As a side note: I'm very happy with Clicky, so if you're looking for an alternative to Google Analytics, you might consider them. Yes, they cost money, but that's a good thing. Don't be a free user.

I Thought This Happened Gradually?
Tempo of Evolution
Student Exploration
You Want To See Fast?
Many people still feel evolution is a gradual steady process which was the view put forth by Charles Darwin. However, Darwin didn't have the whole story figured out. Go here see what scientists are finding out about the tempo of evolution: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=see-change-rapid-emergence
In 1972, Niles Eldridge and Stephen Jay Gould put forth a theory that species could go through long periods of relative stasis and then periods of rapid change in response to environmental changes. They called this theory "Punctuated Equilibrium."
You can find a review of gradualism and punctuated equilibrium here
- http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/03/5/l_035_01.html
- http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/evo101/VIIA1bPunctuated.shtml
Here is another view point on the importance of this work: http://www.darwinthenandnow.com/2012/07/sea-star-species-defy-darwin/#more-4348
Extension Investigation
If you need help scratching a mental itch, use the resources below:
- How does reproduction differ in the two sea stars (Cryptasterina pentagona and C. hystera) mentioned in the above article?
- What are two factors that affect the rate of speciaiton? Explain why these factors matter.
- What is adaptive radiation?
- Can you think of a theory other than the one used by the researchers to explain how this speciation happened so fast?
- How does this rapid speciation help us understand biodiversity?
- What is "disruptive selection"? How does it differ from "natural selection"?
- Take note of the range of dates for the actual split of these two sea stars. What does this tell you about the accuracy of determining dates by molecular clocks? Explain your answer and thinking fully.

Arturia ARP 2600V
Arturia has been doing amazing work in the business of providing computer-based musicians analog emulations of classic synths (like the CS-80 V and Moog Modular V). Now they have brought us the king of classic modular synthesizers with the ARP 2600V. Using their own TAE (True Analog Emulation) technology they have recreated the look and sound of an ARP 2600 along with the famous ARP Sequencer Model 1601 and an ARP keyboard for an absolute monster package of awesome analog sounds for around $249! And it supports all major plug-in and stand-alone formats for Macintosh and Windows computers (VSTi, DXi, RTAS, HTDM, Audio Units, DirectX, ASIO, CoreAudio).
click image to enlarge
At first glance the interface looks almost exactly like a real ARP 2600. Editing and creating your sounds would be done as if you were sitting in front of the real thing. The obvious changes can be found hidden away behind the faux speaker grilles - the addition of Chorus and Delay effects and an array of four tracking generators for creating custom, tempo-synced LFOs. Actually put the ARP 2600V up against a real 2600 and you'll notice many more differences between the two. The three VCO's can now be switched to operate as LFO's, and MIDI sync switches can be found around the sample-and-hold, LFO and sequencer sections. The original's single lowpass filter is replaced by a multi-mode filter with plenty of options. There is a 24 dB lowpass modeled after the 1st generation of ARP synthesizers (known as the 4012 filter). There is a 24 dB low pass modeled after the 2nd generation (known as the 4072 filter). And there is a 12 dB multimode from the ARP 2500 with high, low, band pass and notch filtering. They all sound ARP-like, are resonant and can self-oscillate.
As for the sound, well it sounds amazing! It is definitely ARP-like, but is nowhere near as authentic as TimewARP 2600. But it still sounds amazingly warm and rich as a virtual analog modular synthesizer. It ships with over 400 presets created by various artists covering everything from throbbing basses to rhythmic textures and pad sweeps. Creating your own sounds is challenging, but worth it. If you can program the real thing, you'll feel right at home patching up sounds in the 2600V. Otherwise, this plug-in is a great teaching tool for newbies to modular synthesis. The virtual patch cords will wiggle out of the way of your mouse as you move around the interface making the 2600V feel like it's alive! And the 16-step analog sequencer is pure old-school and really the easiest way to create your own simple sequences and arpeggio patterns.
Those who know the history of the 2600 know it's been through many revisions. Pictured above are alternative "skins" for the interface to replicate the blue and grey "meanies" and the orange-on-black paint schemes, but there are no sonic differences. No matter which skin you choose, you'll have probably the most versatile and powerful modular synthesizer with sparkling sound quality (96kHz, 64-bit) ready to bring your music to life! It may not sound as authentic as the TimewARP 2600, but it's still a brilliant soft-synth with its own classic sound and dazzlingly nostalgic interface!

To answer your question though JD, I love the west. The NW in particular. My stepdaughter and granddaughter are in Denver. My son, stepson, and a couple of grandkids are in Alaska.
For the foreseeable future, we are going to be on this side of the world. My parents are up in age and my wife's mother is in a nursing home. Those are the primary reasons we are here. We can get to either of them within a days drive. Maybe one of these days... I do try to get out west for a hunting trip every year if I can though... NM is high on my list if I can ever pull a tag for Bighorn Sheep or one of the premium elk tags!
Bill Davis
Bill. Region 13 is NM, CO, WY, and NE in the UKC-HRC world. Don't expect you would know that, since that is not your venue. AKC clubs in this area include TX, AZ, NM, CO, UT, NE, OK, NV, CA, or as far as you want to travel... Bill S. was a prominent judge in the HRC area until recently. HT's and FT's cover a wide geographic area in the SW.
We frequently travel more than one day to HT's.
I have contacts for private landowner tags for elk and sheep. You will have to PM me though.

Now CNN.com has a report where they show one of the little killers posing with a scoped rifle (looks like a bolt action to me) and they are saying that he posted photos of himself posing with (are you ready for this) AN ASSAULT RIFLE!! They really need to educate their reporters a bit more. I have been saying for years that the reason so many people now call utility knives "box Cutters" is because on 9/11/01 when it was discovered that the hijackers used utility knives and the reporters didn't know what to call them someone said "you know, one of those box cutter thingys" and we were off to the races. Now my friends' (I don't own any firearms of any kind) bolt action deer rifles have been converted to "assault rifles".

Hung out in room 537, along with the 5th floor lobby of my local hospital. Had my vitals taken every four hours or so....tried to nap, talked with family/friends...watched the Badger game. You know, pretty typical really.
Hung out in room 537, along with the 5th floor lobby of my local hospital. Had my vitals taken every four hours or so....tried to nap, talked with family/friends...watched the Badger game. You know, pretty typical really.
Here's to hoping you have more variety to your Saturdays and every-other-days soon, JJB!
I was the test proctor for the PSAT at my school (and earned a little dough for four hours' effort). Dropped off almost $5 in recycling (over $40 this year so far), where there were three different donate-to-_____ people around, and possibly a fourth person INSIDE THE STORE where you cashed in the voucher. Did a little grading. Picked out "my" birthday presents (clothing) while on errands with family. Watched college football far too much. Finished reading a novel (wha-?!?). Started some laundry (which is currently in the dryer now).
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Woke up at about 9 and had to go on base to workout with the kids that failed the physical test (I volunteer in my off time to better them), got home and cut down my banana plants for the season, washed the car, watched the Michigan
debaclegame, had a few beers and then watched Jackass 3D.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
I found the new Geonosis Arena Showdown sets at Target. In the afternoon, I mowed my lawn. Later, I walked down the street to this Mexican restaurant. I've lived this close to it for seven years and had never been there. Had Arroz con Pollo. Had to take some of it home. Also ordered a margarita. Don't think I had ever had one before. They always looked good, so I tried one. Didn't like it. I even had one with cranberry, which is one of my favorite juices. I walked home and turned on the UW vs Oregon State game. Wasn't paying attention until the 4th quarter. Huskies hung on to win in 2 OT.
Margaritas are best when used to marinate chicken prior to grilling. No joke.
That's my jacket!
Read, napped, tried in vein to find a decent college fb game to watch (failed), went by a dudes house to watch the Badger game, hung out and went home.
was sick over the weekend so I basically stayed home watched some TV, did some decorating for Halloween and then a couple of friends stopped by for Chinese food and games night...
not sure yet what is on tap for this Saturday
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Headed out this Saturday to pick apples and pumpkins with the old family unit. Its going to be such a lovely 2.5 hour car trip to the mountains tomorrow, hopefully there won't be too many threats of bodily injury.
Treat your stepmother with respect Pantera, or you'll be sleeping in the streets!!
So far, I woke up, went on facebook, played "Brute" (a silly little game someone here introduced me to) and then came here. I was looking for my camera, but instead ended up sitting in front of the computer.
2015 RFL Thank You to, TeeEye7 & Slicker, JediTricks, Tycho, El Chuxter, and Darth Jax!!!!

Multiple Myeloma Program
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the bone marrow. It results from abnormal growth of plasma cells. Plasma cells produce antibodies, but as malignant plasma cells multiply they produce large quantities of abnormal antibodies, which then collect in the blood and urine. The growth of the plasma cell tumor eventually destroys the bone around it and leads to bone pain, kidney damage, and a weakened immune system.
Although currently not curable, multiple myeloma is a treatable cancer. In recent years, the life expectancy and quality of life for those with this cancer has steadily improved, and a number of new treatment options have transformed multiple myeloma into a disease than can be managed on a long-term basis.
Our Multidisciplinary Team
Under the leadership of Sundar Jagannath, MD, Mount Sinai's Multiple Myeloma Program is the largest of its kind in New York City, and is utilized by myeloma patients from around the world. Our doctors are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of all stages of multiple myeloma. We offer a multidisciplinary team approach to treatment that brings together specialists who provide compassionate, comprehensive, and personalized care. This involves the Bone Marrow Transplantation service, and the Departments of Cardiology, Rheumatology, Nephrology, Pathology, and the Institute of Genomics and Multiscale Biology.

Diagnosis and Treatment
In many patients, multiple myeloma is detected by a routine blood test when no other symptoms are present. Symptoms of multiple myeloma may include persistent fatigue or pain or recurrent unexplained infections.
Mount Sinai's comprehensive Multiple Myeloma Program provides the highest level of care for myeloma patients throughout the entire spectrum of the disease. Patients with early stages of the disease are closely monitored, as treatment paradigms for multiple myeloma can change every 3 – 5 years.
Treatments are tailored to each patient's needs, and may include: chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, vaccine therapy, and other novel drugs and targeted therapies such as monoclonal antibodies.
Clinical trials are also a critical component of the program. Mount Sinai offers numerous clinical trials for multiple myeloma patients. For more information, see the list of currently open clinical trials in multiple myeloma. Mount Sinai also participates in multicenter research studies in conjunction with the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, including studies that will help researchers develop drugs targeted toward specific genes and tailor therapies according to the patient's need.
