Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Teemo is well known for poking and being annoying. Teemo is good split pushing and roaming around. This guide will not go to in depth with Teemo, but I'll explain my best to be a great Teemo player.
What not to build on Teemo
Blade of the Ruin King
A lot of Teemo players will get this because of the 40% attack speed the slow and the percent base health damage. Although the attack speed is good, this will only make your auto-attacks stronger leaving your (Q)Blinding Dart and (R)Noxus Trap untouched. You wont need the slow because if you really did need to slow your opponents you would just get Rylai's Scepter. The percentage health is not that strong but Guisoon's Rageblade is a good Ap Attack Speed item.
Hextech Gunblade
This item may seem good because it will give you both ad and ap, but Guisoon's Rageblade would be much more better. The spell vamp will be useless on you also. And Rylai's Scepter is a better item for slows
Runaan's Huricane
This item I would get on Teemo during season 5. But this is season 6 and the item has been reworked. It only gives you 30% attack speed and useless crit. And you don't need the 2 extra bolts for wave clear because you already have your shrooms. Guisooon's Rageblade is strong on Teemo and also gives you the aoe damage for clearing waves.
Berserk Greaves
I remember I would get this item on Teemo. While this is a stronger item on Kayle rather than Sorcerer Shoes, Sorcerer Shoes is simply a stronger item. You poison auto attacks will penetrate more, you (Q)Blinding Dart will do more damage and (R)Noxus Trap will shred so bad. If you play Udyr or Xin Zhao you won't normally see people getting Berserk Greaves. Same on Teemo, you don't need alot of attack speed, you'll do less damage.
Which lane is best for Teemo
Obviously the best lane for Teemo is top lane. Sure he can work at mid but he does consistent damage over time not really busty with cc. Some Teemo players will pick bottom lane apc. Teemo's rang is not that high and can get harassed with teemo doing magic while the adc using crit against you.

The Big Apple was crowded with Filipino stars during the holiday season.
"New York-based and visiting Pinoys had a field day star-hunting," reported Funfare's Big Apple correspondent Edmund Silvestre. "The stars were all over — walking in Central Park and other landmarks, eating hotdog or pizza on Fifth Avenue, shopping in high-end stores, or watching Broadways shows like The Addams Family, Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark, Godspell and The Book of Mormon."
Among those spotted were real-life couples Bea Alonzo and Zanjoe Marudo, Cristine Reyes and Rayver Cruz as well as ABS-CBN journalists Abner Mercado of TV Patrol and Krusada, and Rose Eclarinal of Balitang Europe, among others.
Yesterday in Funfare, "beauty-expert" Felix Manuel (a nurse working in NYC) reported on his meeting with Kris Aquino, Liz Uy, John "Sweet" Lapus, and Gutierrez twins Raymond and Richard (who were there with sister Ruffa and their parents Annabelle Rama and Eddie Gutierrez).
In an earlier issue, Funfare published a "scoop" about the birthday cruise of Godspell star Anna Maria Perez de Tagle whose well-wishers included Girlie Rodis and Korina Sanchez (vacationing with husband, DOTC Sec. Mar Roxas who wasn't at the party).
According to Edmund, some of the stars like Cristine and Rayver joined the throngs of revelers at Times Square for the New Year's Eve Ball Drop.
"Pinalusot sila sa siksikang crowd nu'ng mga Pinoy na nasa Times Square for the ball drop," Edmund quoted his friend Edith Sampayan, a former ABS-CBN employee (ASAP, The Buzz and Maalaala Mo Kaya) who is now a New Yorker. "They were surprised and elated to see Cristine and Rayver there. Cristine said teary-eyed pa raw siya during the ball drop."

Edith said the No Other Woman box-office star was "very sweet" with Rayver even while they were eating halal, the spicy chicken over rice in particular, Cristine's new favorite food.
"It was nice to see them eat like real New Yorkers on the street," said Edith's banker husband, R. Sonny Sampayan. "And they're very gracious to Filipinos who recognized them and asked to pose with them for photos. Cristine said enjoy na enjoy siya sa New York except for the cold weather, at gusto raw niya mag-work dito. Mababait sila kausap at talagang ang ganda-ganda ni Cristine, balingkinitan at flawless. At ang dami nilang na-shopping from upscale stores on Fifth Avenue, shopping galore talaga."
Pinoy fans in NYC said that also "extra sweet" were Zanjoe and Bea who were seen on a tour bus from one famous landmark to another — from Rockefeller Center to Battery Park where visitors can take a ferry going to the Statue of Liberty.
Zanjoe also reportedly spent the holidays with Bea at the Marudos' family home in Jersey City, the second largest city in the state of New Jersey and with a large Filipino population.
Edmund was happy to see his friend Abner bonding with London-based Rose in Times Square, and later in Chinatown, with R. Sonny and Edith Sampayan, and Rose's husband Terry Murdoch of the financial firm Barclays. They dined at the famous Tony's DiNapoli Italian restaurant and the popular Vietnamese eatery NHA Trang Centre in Chinatown.
Abner, who now dabbles as instructor on environmental journalism at UP Diliman, had an unforgettable experience in the Big Apple that renewed his faith in his fellowmen. He dropped his wallet after having brunch with Edmund at the popular bakery Bouchon across from the Rockefeller Center's ice rink. They proceeded to nearby NBC Universal Store, a few steps away from the eatery, to buy souvenirs when Abner realized that his wallet was missing.
"We headed back to Bouchon and asked one of its Fil-Am staffers, Jeremy, if someone had turned over a missing wallet with credit cards, IDs and less than $200 in cash," related Edmund. "Lo and behold, the wallet was returned by a young London tourist who was still seated at the very same table Abner and his friend occupied earlier. With his cash and cards untouched, Abner profusely thanked the honest English man, who was too shy to acknowledge his own good deed."
Cristine Reyes and Rayver Cruz (with Edith Sampayan) at St. Patrick's Cathedral, at the Central Park, and in Times Square while waiting for the New Year's ball drop
Said Abner, "Eto 'yung mga moments na masasabi mo na hindi ka dapat mawalan ng pag-asa or faith sa natural na kabutihan ng tao," said Abner. "Hindi ko ito makakalimutan habang buhay. The best Christmas ever."

Heavy recall Honda Odyssey Minivan – 650,000 Nos
Honda Odyssey made a recall of of over 6 hundred thousand minivans due to its engineering defects in the second row seats. The second row seats do not lock properly which causes an unexpected movement.
Honda to recall about 650,000 Odyssey minivans in U.S.
Honda Motor Co said on Thursday it will recall nearly 650,000 Odyssey minivans in the United States covering 2011 to 2016 model years because second-row seats may not lock in the event of a crash. Many fewer minivans will be recalled in Canada and Mexico, but Honda did not immediately have details on the number of vehicles involved. Owners in the larger recall will be notified by letter in mid-February. The parts to fix this issue will not be available until the spring, Honda said.
The first generation Odyssey was marketed in Europe as the Honda Shuttle. No injuries or crashes have been reported related to this issue, Honda's U.S. division said. Two separate recalls will be conducted, Honda and U.S. safety regulators said. The largest involves 634,000 Odyssey minivans for model year 2011 to 2016, and a smaller one affects about 7,600 of the 2016 model year Odyssey minivans. In the smaller recall, Honda said it will notify owners in late January. The Honda Odyssey is a minivan manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda since 1994, marketed worldwide, and now in its fourth & fifth generation in North America and Japan, respectively.
Honda Odyssey recalled to fix seats that could shift suddenly
A defect that could cause second-row seats in the Honda Odyssey to shift suddenly in a crash has triggered a recall involving nearly 634,000 units of the minivan. Honda told NHTSA in a defect report that it had not received any reports of injuries linked to the flaw. But the company had received 689 warranty claims as of Dec. 16. Honda Motor issued the recall for 2011 through 2016 model-year Odyssey vehicles manufactured from Aug. 17, 2010, through Oct. 1, 2015, to fix the defect.
Honda recalls 633,753 Odyssey minivans for rear seat defect
Honda Motor Co. is recalling 633,753 Odyssey minivans in the US because the second-row seats could move unexpectedly. The vehicles have a second-row seat lever that moves the outer seats forward to access the third row. Honda says the release lever may remain in an unlocked position, which could allow the seats to move unexpectedly. Honda says the problem was identified through warranty claims. There are no reports of injuries or accidents related to the issue.

I'm baaaaaaack.
Google+ is implemented? Is that why I can post again? No, no it's not.
Maybe I spoke too soon. It makes threads load very slowly. Also, the text entry box doesn't show up until after the Google stuff does.
I think it was slow because of a outside china https url to the javascript, so I copied the javascript to a local file.... which might be a bit risky in the early state of.
Google+, as it'd stop working if they change anything.. so let me know if it does :-)
It would appear to be completely fucked when I login from work.
And since the text formatting interface doesn't show up until after the Google+ shit loads, it means I have to go to 'edit' if I want to add formatting.
Perhaps there's a way to make the G+ javascript load after the text formatting options.

Imagine two employees, both working for a difficult boss. One gets yelled at by the boss and leaves his office looking calm and unruffled. The other flees to the bathroom in tears or kicks the wall.
The difference?
It's possible that one of them was simply born with a calm temperament. It's also possible that neither was born with a calm temperament, but that one of them has learned to think differently about the boss's behavior.
Researchers say that between the act itself (yelling) and the consequence (leaving the office), there's another factor in between: what the employee chooses to believe.
Example: The person running away in tears might believe, "My boss hates me, everyone hates me, I'm a total failure."
When you're forced to have contact with an irascible person who makes you fall apart, try one of these five methods for regulating your emotions, recommended by Professor James Gross at Stanford:
1. Avoid the situation. If the irascible person isn't your boss, steer clear of interacting with him.
2. Modify the situation. Turn your desk so you don't have to look at the person.
3. Divert your attention. When he invites you in his office for a chat, focus on your notepad, a picture, anything but looking directly into his face.
4. Change your thinking. "He's a jerk anyway—what do I care what he thinks?"
5. Repress the emotion. Concentrate on keeping your face still instead of blinking furiously or tightening your mouth.

Electricity Markets Are Competitive
March 8, 2000
Half of the states have passed legislation to allow customers to choose their electricity provider, while the other half are considering major changes in state regulations. However, some electricity providers and consumer advocates are demanding that Congress "micromanage" deregulation by giving the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) sweeping authority to address perceived market power abuses by utilities -- including the power to force utilities to divest themselves of power generating assets.
Under changes in federal rules adopted a few years ago, utilities and independent power producers -- called nonutility generators -- anywhere in the U.S. can sell power to any utility. Utilities must give equal access to their transmission lines at comparable rates and terms for electricity from any nonutility generator or reseller. The FERC also required utilities to completely separate their wholesale power sales and transmission operations.
- Supporters of federal intervention say that while the industry has become more competitive, market power -- the ability of a firm to set prices above competitive rates -- still exists, along with barriers to competitors entering new markets.
- But economists point out that more than 4,000 nonutility generation plants sell power to the investor-owned utilities, which also compete against 2,000 municipal utilities and more than 900 electric cooperatives.
- Moreover, the electric power industry is in the throes of a major restructuring, with formerly integrated utilities voluntarily separating themselves into generation, transmission and distribution companies.
Rather than micromanaging deregulation, some economists say the federal government should provide incentives to expand the electricity infrastructure, such as transmission facilities, that are urgently needed to meet growing demands for power and to avoid the blackouts that periodically plague California, New England and other regions.

How lovely is thy dwelling place,
O Lord of Hosts!
— Psalm 84
The Dominican priory is an outgrowth of the Dominican form of life, but the two share a reciprocal relationship: Dominican life is meant to be lived in a Dominican priory. The architecture finds its form by incorporating the many functions of the life of contemplation and preaching. Just as a friar must learn how to balance the demands of his vowed life, so too the priory's design must balance the functional requirements for the friar's form of life. The friar must learn how to grow in charity amidst the requirements of study, prayer, communal life, and apostolic life. The priory provides the setting for the friar's schooling in charity, and in so doing, it facilitates or detracts from that schooling. The habit does not make the friar, and neither does the priory. However, this does not mean that neither the habit nor the priory is inconsequential. Just as the habit serves as an external sign of the interior reality of the friar's consecration to God, so too does the priory serve as a sign communicating the reality of a consecrated life. The priory signifies the life lived within it, and it is at the service of that life.
The life of the friar requires balance and ordering because there are many demands placed upon him in the life. The friar finds this order by following after the example of St. Dominic, who, it is said, only spoke to God or about God. Having a well-ordered soul, the saintly friar moves easily between prayer, silence, recreation, study, worship, preaching, administrative tasks, and eating. This is evidenced by the example of Bl. Henry Suso, O.P., who would pray to Eternal Wisdom before his meals, "Most sweet Jesus Christ, I invite Thee with the longing desire of my heart, and I pray Thee, even as Thou dost bountifully feed me, to grant me also today Thy gentle presence."
The fresco in the refectory of the San Marco priory by Giovanni Antonio Sogliani, St. Dominic and his Friars fed by Angels [fig. 1], mirrors The Last Supper by Leonardo DaVinci [fig. 2], which was painted for the Dominican refectory in Milan. Bl. Henry's prayer and the frescos of Sogliani and DaVinci show the harmony between the friar's interior life and the priory. In addition to art, there are more architectural considerations which seek harmony. I would like to propose three conspicuous considerations in the design of a Dominican priory. Their peculiarity stems from tensions integral to the life of contemplation and action of a Dominican. We will consider silence, poverty, and preaching.
The Dominican priory imposes a distinct challenge to the architect to design a secluded monastery within the busy confines of a city. St. Dominic desired his sons to live a contemplative life amidst the locale of an apostolic life. The priory must be a silent vessel for the interior life of the friar, while the world scratches at its walls. The anxiety of the world, and its cries for truth, impinge on the friar's silence. Monks pray in secluded monasteries on mountain tops, and priests run bustling parishes from city rectories. However, the Dominican friar lives his contemplative life in a priory and goes out from that priory to meet the needs of the Church.
The Constitutions of the Order of Preachers emphasize the influence that silence has on religious observance: "Silence is the guardian of all observance and contributes greatly to the interior quality of religious life, to peace, prayer, the study of truth and authenticity in preaching." A friar achieves silence by an intentional recollection of God's presence amongst various activities. Yet this intentionality can be supported or hindered by the surrounding environments. There is silence of soul and silence of ambiance. One is more easily recollected in the silent wilderness than on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras.
It is for this reason that St. Anthony fled the city to find a desert cave. His actions echo those of our Lord's, "he withdrew to the wilderness and prayed" (Lk 5:16). Following St. Anthony's example, monks soon cultivated the wilderness with monasteries. Forested mountains and marshy fields became places of prayer away from urban centers. Yet, St. Dominic saw the need for contemplative preachers, and he therefore envisioned a place of prayer within the city, the priory.
One solution to the juxtaposition of the Dominican friar and the urban laity was the tramezzo. This Italian word, which translates "through the middle," names an architectural feature used to separate the choir of the monks from the laity, commonly known as a rood screen (the Saxon word "rood" means "cross"). However, the pre-Tridentine tramezzo carried more weight and art than we typically understand of the rood screen. The tramezzo still standing at the Albi Cathedral dwarfs the rood screen here at our House of Studies in Washington, D.C. Similar dividing walls of more humble stature used to stand in the Dominican priories of Florence.
The tramezzo did not serve as a security fence, but as a good divider. On the Dominican side of the wall, it served as a buffer for distractions and wandering eyes. On the laity side, the tramezzo served as a devotional canvas. It was common for the laity to actually adorn the tramezzo with images of Our Lady or other saints. Also, according to the research of Marcia Hall, "One of the purposes of the raised stage of the tramezzo was, after all, to proclaim the Gospel, because it was the only place in the church from which both the clergy and the laity could be addressed at the same time" (Sacred Architecture Vol. 27, p.15). The division actually served to emphasize the preaching and proclamation of the Gospel. At the reading of the Gospel, the laity and the religious are united.
Outside of the chapel, there are other key design decisions which impact how much silence the friar can find within the priory. Whereas the tramezzo aides silence within the chapel, strategic placement of rooms can also help silence the noise of ministry within the priory. Typically the friar's cell is one of the most silent places within the priory, and the common room, where the friars recreate together, has the most noise. It would be detrimental for the interior life to place a friar's cell next to the common room or a common room next to a chapel. Even the best sound attenuation cannot stifle the roar of a Dominican recreation. This is why cells generally are on the top floor of the priories and more public or noisy spaces tend to be on the ground level.
Another way to ensure silence within the priory is to control the path of the visitor and the friar so that they do not cross. This does not mean that they never meet within the priory, but there is an importance to having a cloister and a semi-cloister. That is why the Constitutions of the Order read, "Cloister is to be observed in our convents so that our brothers may be better able to devote themselves to contemplation and study, that more intimate family life may be achieved, and the faithfulness and characteristics of our religious life may be revealed."
A visitor travelling through the building should notice what is public and private. Simply passing through a door communicates to the visitor that a transition is happening. Also, it should be possible for the friar to travel from his choir stall to his cell without exiting the cloister. There are old accounts of the brethren processing up a stairwell after Night Prayer into their dormitories in silence.
Separation seems to be the architectural solution to navigate the tension of desired silence and apostolic life. This is why the Acta from 1249 read, "Screens which in our churches are between the laity and the friars are to be so disposed there by the priors so that on entering and exiting from the choir the friars cannot see nor be seen by the laity. They can also establish here some windows so that at the time of the elevation of the body of the Lord they [i.e., the laity] might be able to look in."
The beautiful walls traversing the nave of the chapel provide needed screening, but also serve the devotion of the laity. Also, the savvy arrangement of rooms creates an ordering of silence throughout the whole priory. Finally, the cloister creates areas of strict separation and loose mingling. Separation is a key concept when designing around the tension of the contemplative and active life.
The tension of poverty emerges in a different and more precarious way than the tension of silence. The tension of silence in the midst of activity results from the pull of contemplation and ministry which are both intrinsic to living the life. The tension of poverty stems from the desire for poverty of spirit and the attraction of the world. Therefore, the tension of poverty does not spring from the demands of the life, but from resisting the world. The design of the priory then can be seen as contributing to the life of poverty or detracting from it.
Living the vow of poverty has been a difficulty from the beginning of the Order, because no individual of goodwill wishes to break his vow of poverty. Yet what constitutes poverty for one friar does not always constitute poverty for the other friar. The Rule of St. Augustine makes this clear: "Allowance should be made for their frailty, however, on the basis of individual need, even if previous poverty never permitted them to satisfy those needs." The needs of the brethren differ based upon their strength and frailty, and it is a sign of charity to accept the limitations of the brethren.
This virtue is captured in the story of the dispersal of the brethren. On the feast of the Assumption, 1217, St. Dominic sent the brothers to go out two by two to preach the Gospel. He told them to carry no gold or silver with them, but John of Navarre resisted Dominic's demand. He did not think it was prudent to travel with no money, and a conflict ensued. St. Dominic begged him with tears to trust in God's providence, but the saint eventually allowed for John of Navarre's weakness. Thankfully, John would eventually see the wisdom of the saint and regret his desire for money, even if it was modest.
On another occasion St. Dominic again challenged his brothers, but this challenge pertained to their priory rather than their belongings. The brethren wanted to raise the ceilings of their humble abode, but the saint insisted that they lift up their hearts rather than their ceilings. He was afraid that the vaulted space would create an atmosphere of regality, and the air would have been more temperate. The heat would have collected higher in the space making it cooler for the brethren. This time, the conflict was resolved by the charity of the brethren, who did not raise the ceilings during St. Dominic's life. Rather, they waited until his passing before moving forward with construction.
Among the competing needs and desires of the brethren, the Constitutions give guidance with respect to poverty. They state, "Our convents should be simple and suited to their purpose, avoiding any kind of ostentation or unnecessary extras. They should be planned in such a way as not to offend either people or local customs." This principle should influence site placement, structure, height, ornament, and interior materials. Plush materials, bland ornamentation, excessive height, and imposing site placement could be seen as ostentatious and offensive, especially if it is not directed to glorifying God.
One remarkable example of a priory which humbly addressed the tension of poverty is the Jacobin priory of Toulouse [fig. 3 & 4]. The double nave design was not typical for the chapel because it was generally used for more utilitarian spaces. Due to economic costs and site limitations, the friars used the middle row of columns to shorten the span of the roof. The result is a unique double-nave church in which one side was screened for the friars, and the other side left open for preaching. The design shows signs of poverty, but it still suits the purposes of the friars. The chapel is an attractive space which glorifies God.
I would suggest that the Jacobin priory serves as an example of the ingenuity that can arise from the tension of poverty. On the one hand, the friars needed a Church to suit their purpose of worshiping God and preaching for the salvation of souls. On the other hand, the friars needed to build a priory which fit their site and budget. The result was a prudent compromise.
Throughout the 800 years of existence of the Order of Preachers, preaching for the salvation of souls has always been its mission. The friars have to communicate the mysteries of God, Who transcends understanding but dwells in the heart. God is present everywhere, but we cannot see Him with our eyes nor comprehend Him with our minds. There is a tension in preaching which consists of leading people to see the final things, but also how grace is present in the here and now. There is a pull to be relatable to people in order to accompany them in discovering the immanence of Jesus, and there is a pull to be a reminder of divine transcendence.
This tension is evident today, for example, in people's reactions to friars in their 13th century habit. Some people look away from the friars in their black cappas. They see them as fideistic and out of touch with reality. Others are intrigued that men would do something so radical as to consecrate themselves to God. The sign of the habit serves as a reminder of divine transcendence, and people respond both positively and negatively.
The design of the priory has a similar tension, because it can either express the divine transcendence of the life or its more human aspects. The style of the priory can try to inculturate the current trends within architecture, or it can root itself in the tradition of religious architecture. San Marco of Florence and the Jacobin of Toulouse stand as successes because they balanced and harmonized new trends with tradition. The former incorporated humanistic Renaissance art and the latter Gothic vaulting. However, not every design is successful at harmonizing. Some modern designs have abandoned traditional forms and expressions of the faith. These designs tend to invest too much in current trends to the detriment of expressing the divine.
The great Renaissance architect Leon Battista Alberti wrote of his desire to see architecture which preaches: "I would wish the [church] so beautiful that nothing more decorous could ever be devised: I would deck it out in every part so that anyone who entered it would start with awe for his admiration at all the beautiful things, and could scarcely restrain himself from exclaiming that what he saw was a place undoubtedly worthy of God." The same should be true of a priory of friars consecrated to God. For this reason, the Gothic style is most apt for the priory, because its very structure speaks of God.
The Gothic arch possesses something inexpressible that manifests the spiritual in an almost imperceptible way. Perhaps it is the long tradition associated with the shape or the strong symbolism associated with the arch. It stands taut against the heavy stones it supports, and the resulting tension evokes the image of an arrow drawn on the string. The point of the arch stands fixed in the stone at the moment before it is shot into the heavens. It remains still, but our eyes and thoughts spring upward.
There is yet another explanation of the pointed arch's peculiarity. The two sides of the arch come from the two intersecting circles which fall on the same line. This figure, the mandorla ("almond" in Italian) has a rich history in sacred art. It often surrounds the image of Christ in iconography [fig. 5]. The shape is the shared area of two circles which represent Christ's hypostatic union: two natures, one Person. The mandorla is a shape rich with incarnational meaning, because it communicates that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Looking at the Gothic arch, one sees the top of the mandorla complete but awaits the completion of the bottom [fig. 6]. One can imagine the lines of the arch continuing past their horizontal datum. The lines move downward like two arms reaching to pick up a child. Like children, we wait for the two arms of Christ to reach down and envelop us. In His merciful embrace we find redemption, and in this we find our humanity as He lifts us up into His divinity. The Gothic arch that points upward beckons us to call upon Him who ascended, so that he might descend into our hearts.
No priory design can resolve the three tensions for the friar discussed here. The challenges of the Dominican life can only be resolved by grace. Yet, the design of the priory can aid or hinder the friars trying to lead lives of contemplation and action. Helpful design ideas such as the tramezzo and cloister tend to be repeated because they aid the friars. Throughout the 800 years of the Order there are numerous examples of well designed priories that borrow designs from one another. A prospective architect designing a Dominican priory in the 21st century would do well to glean ideas from existing priories because successful solutions to these difficult tensions are likely built already. It is rare that a radically new design would produce an innovative solution. Untested designs can exacerbate the tensions integral to the life. In a sense, the form of life of the Dominican has changed little over the 800 years, and the design of the priory need not change much either. The design of the priory would be well informed by the enduring form of the Dominican life.

Intel's profits have plummeted by about 1/2 in value, but did manage to beat market expectations by a wide margin. Experts predicted a $0.03 per share in earnings, Intel managed to hit $0.11 per share. That number might be awful in a normal year, but at this particular time it places them very highly in the market. The Atom processor that was heralded as the savour of Intel had sales drop by about 1/4, so it seems that it may not be enough to pull Intel through the downturn unscathed.

By KAREN W. ARENSON
Published: August 28, 1981
If there was ever a time to live and work abroad, it is now - at least the tax experts say so. The new tax law will usher into effect on Jan. 1 some of the most favorable provisions for taxing expatriates in 20 years.
Because the new law is expected to result in lower costs to companies with employees working abroad, it is expected to lead to a spurt in overseas job opportunities for Americans, in a dramatic reversal of the shrinkage of the last few years.
''I have no doubt that there will be more hiring of Americans to work abroad, both by American companies and by foreign employers,'' said Gilbert Dwyer, a partner at Ward Howell International, an executive recruiting firm.
Beginning next year, Americans will be allowed to exclude from American income taxes up to $75,000 of income earned abroad. That exclusion will rise by $5,000 a year until it reaches $95,000 in 1986. Expatriates may also be able to exclude some of their foreign housing costs from American taxes, provided they meet certain qualifications.
Varied Effects
How these changes will affect people now working overseas depends largely on their individual circumstances, particularly on how their employers treat tax payments now and on the taxes in the countries in which they work.
''As a general rule, the new law should offer a significant reduction in United States taxes for many Americans overseas,'' said Robert H. Castles, director of expatriate services at Arthur Young & Company, the accounting firm.
But, he and others noted, the many individuals whose employers already pay for their higher tax costs will probably see little change. It has become the norm among most major companies with employees abroad to pay not only the extra costs of living abroad - such as housing and schooling and foreign taxes - but also the taxes on the extra income these sums represent. In these cases, the companies will benefit.
''From our employees' point of view, this bill is neither here nor there,'' said George J. Clark, executive vice president at Citibank. ''We have picked up the tax burden, and will also pick up the benefit. The individual will not really be affected.''
Even in such companies, however, individuals may find it worthwhile to examine the new tax rules. For while the new provisions deal directly with foreign earned income, they will indirectly affect other portions of people's tax bills. Lower Investment Income Tax
For example, expatriates are likely to find their investment income taxed at lower rates under the new law, but they may also find that they are barred from putting money into tax-free Individual Retirement Accounts or from taking the new marriage deduction, if they no longer have any earned income taxed in the United States. These are areas that tax experts hope will be clarified further through regulations.
In any case, the lower cost of supporting an American abroad is expected to translate into more jobs overseas being filled by Americans.
One tax executive at a major New York corporation who asked not to be identified estimated that the current cost of supporting an American with a salary of $30,000 a year in a foreign country was about $120,000, including salary, housing, education, home leave and taxes. Taxes would amount to about $45,000, he said.
''We anticipate that there will be a real increase in the number of United States workers abroad,'' said Miles Bresee, manager of taxes at the Bechtel Group, a San Francisco-based engineering and construction company with a sizable overseas business.
''Not only will we be able to afford to put more American workers on our present jobs, but we can be more competitive, and that should generate more new jobs.''
Some companies have already expressed an interest in sending more Americans abroad, although such plans are not universal. Whittaker Plans Increase
Joseph F. Alibrandi, president of the Whittaker Corporation of Los Angeles, for example, has said that he plans to increase substantially the proportion of Americans in his company's foreign work force under the more favorable tax provisions. Currently, Americans constitute only about 10 or 15 percent of the 3,000 people Whittaker uses abroad in managing hospitals. The company hopes to raise that figure to approximately half.
Citibank, too, expects to send more Americans abroad. ''Before, if we had a Frenchman and an American who were equal in every way, we had to choose the Frenchman for tax reasons,'' Mr. Clark said. ''Now that bias is removed. Over time, we will have more Americans working abroad than we would have otherwise.''
But at the Chase Manhattan Bank, Walter Lamp, a vice president in the tax department, cautioned, ''Taxes are only one of our costs of doing business. We could now have room to put more people overseas, or we could make other adjustments, such as becoming more competitive.''
American companies are not the only ones viewing American workers with new interest. Mr. Dwyer, who specializes in recruiting for positions in the Middle East, said that foreign employers - both business and government - were also looking at the American labor market from a new perspective. One of his Saudi Arabian clients has already expressed possible interest in hiring more Americans, he said, as a result of the tax changes. Complex List of Variables

No.1 Lionel Messi fan flees Afghan war zone over nasty telephone threats
THE family of Lionel Messi's number one fan have been forced to flee Afghanistan amid fears for the five-year-old's life.
"Life became a misery for us"Mohammed Arif Ahmadi
The world's leading footballer sent Murtaza Ahmadi autographed shirts after the little Afghan was pictured wearing a plastic bag with Messi's name on.
However the attention soon turned nasty as death threats were made via telephone against the family.
"Life became a misery for us," said dad Mohammed Arif Ahmadi.
He said the family did not want to leave Afghanistan – but the threats were getting more and more serious.
The family moved to Pakistani capital – Islamabad – before settling in Quetta.
They hope the move will keep them alive and give them a better life.
"I sold all my belongings and brought my family out of Afghanistan to save my son's life as well as the lives of the rest of the family," the dad said.
Ahmadi added he feared that his son – Murtaza – would be kidnapped after becoming an online sensation when pictures of him wearing a Messi shirt made out of a striped plastic bag went viral.
The Afghan football federation had promised to arrange a meeting between Messi and Murtaza.
There were reports that either Messi would visit the boy in Afghanistan or Murtaza could be sent to Spain, where Messi plays with Barcelona, or they could meet in a third country.
But none of the options worked out, Ahmadi said.
"Still, Murtaza hopes that one day he would be able to meet his hero, Messi," the dad added.

This is not 2008 or 2012, it is 2017 in the agricultural economy. What worked then may make you go broke now. All farmers but especially young farmers need to rethink how they move forward in a high cost, low return environment we find ourselves in. Inputs now need to more than pay for themselves. Back in the "good old days" anything that added to yield would probably pay for itself. Now farmers are faced with more expenses then the crop is worth.
The best way to describe the most economical yield is that it is a moving target dependent on the gross dollars per acre you can receive on that farm. Gross being yield times price. And, as we know price has dropped down considerably. What worked in 2011 may not work in 2017, what worked in 2013 may not work in 2018. and, if we get a rally in prices then the most economical yield will change again.
The other thing that is not always figured in is that back when times were very good farmers made purchases with future commitments that still need to be paid. Those are now fixed costs that need to come out of the gross. So with a lot lower gross something has to give somewhere. Farm income is at a seven year low. We have to re-learn how to produce as much as we can as cheap as we can. Inflation adjusted price for wheat is the lowest it has been in 400 years. Some farmers are now calling wheat 'poverty grass". Land prices are under pressure. Inflation adjusted corn prices are lower than the late 1990's/early 2000's. Expenses need to go back to 2000 levels and keep today's higher yields to be even with 20 years ago. And, remember 20 years ago we were getting big LDP payments in corn and soybean country. Government payments are not near that big now. Different world we find ourselves in. What is keeping U.S. farmers going? Low interest rates, high land prices, which are keeping the ability to borrow funds available and at a low cost. And, the good profits that were made for several years.
Things can change in a hurry though. The cattle market took a really big hit with cattle feeders taking record loses and then in the matter of a few months prices went back up and feeders were netting over $300 a head.
It is always darkest before dawn or as I call it the 4 a.m. struggles. What will change the commodity markets around? Who knows what or when but change they will.
I also keep hearing that the overall economy is getting long in the tooth. I really do believe if Hillary had been elected we would be in a recession by now. Only the prospect of a Trump tax cut and regulation roll back is keeping the economy moving along. Yes we had a lot of years in a row where the economy moved forward but never at a 3% yearly rate. And, this was done with massive government debt increase and central banks keeping interest rates very low.
Now all kinds of ag experts are giving all kinds of advice. Some of the same ones 10 years ago that were saying go-go-go. Are now talking about how long the downturn will last. Reminds me of a hog story.
What about land prices. They are interest rate sensitive and profitability sensitive. Lots of ground could change hands in the next 10 years, but I have heard that before. Does not mean it will not be true this time, but where will the heirs invest the money? I know some will blow it, but others will view 'grandpa's" farm as a really neat investment. If the baby boomers who inherit it sell the farm there are 3 things they need to think about. 1. How much taxes do I have to pay? 2. Where do I now invest all that money? 3. What about the loss of capitol wealth?
Back to most economical. One does not want to be caught too short if prices do rise, but cannot be too long in the expense column if prices stay the same or go lower. Until commodity price trends change to the upside and over a multi-year period farmers and ranchers have to become more efficient. More with less.
You also need to be careful about prepaying loans. We need to build cash. Another hog story. Too many of us have no short term cushion to ride out an extended downtrend. I know we all would like to eliminate as much debt as possible but remember short term liquidity. Understand your operations short versus long term debt and lock in interest rates at these lows rates.
Most operations it is the "short run", 3 to 5 years that will get you. Things do have to change. Either your operation or the Agricultural Macro Economics compared to 2007 to 2014. Remember expenses need to go back to 2000 levels or prices need to improve. Can you cut expenses to 2000 levels?
So what about the cavalry coming over the hill? My local FSA office in the early days of LDP payments had 12,000 LDP program applications in one day. It was Columbus Day when the market rallied and farmers had a chance to make some money on the spread. But that was different times, at a different price level and different farm economics. Farmers also had double direct payments for awhile as Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich fought over the rural vote for control of the House of Representatives. ARC and PLC have not been near as much help as farm program payments were 12 to 18 years ago.
Government is 20 Trillion Dollars in debt. Input suppliers do not want to see a return to big CRP acres. Environmental Working Group, Animal Welfare Groups, Anti-glyphosate groups, Anti-GMOs, and other groups on both the left and right that want lower government payments to farmers. I just don't see a huge increase in outside price support money coming into agriculture.
Agriculture has to get more economical. All of us, because the pie (commodity prices X yield) is only so big and in the end it has to add up to more than zero. And, as our operations get bigger one way or the other from breakeven adds up faster than it ever did. As tax reform moves through government that could change how we do some things. Local and state taxes are also a burden that will only probably go up at the same time that agriculture needs fewer and fewer resources from our local governments.
Agriculture cannot continue to lose money out into the future. Lots of experts were saying the downturn would end by 2018, now some are saying 2019 or 2020. We have to get to breakeven plus as soon as we can. From what I am hearing lots of grain operations cannot go past 2018 losing money. Livestock is in a little different boat, but it to has to stay profitable. Huge soybean yields coupled with $10 prices bailed us out in 2016. But we cannot keep banking on a buzzer beater to keep us afloat every year.
If we get a big weather event such as a huge drought that would raise prices for 2 to 3 years. That may buy enough time to get world commodity inflation up. Or a huge world wide war and the resulting inflation that would bring. Or after 2-3 years we are right back where we are now.
Best part of all of this is that things will not stay the same way forever. We do have price rebounds even though long term trend is not up.
Long term commodities are commodities and the price trend has been down. Unless, the General Public makes us go back on technology and then prices may rise for while until we learn how to over produce in that environment. I know I keep hearing but-but-but. But long term trend for the last 400 years has been down. I've been told North American grain prices have been in an inflation adjusted down trend since 1774. We used to light lamps with expensive whale oil and then along comes oil out of the ground. Trend is down we must become more efficient. And, in the long run we will need help from our input suppliers and other agribusinesses that sell production tools to farmers and ranchers. Also amazing even with all the modern technology people are still competing in subsistence agriculture. Half the world's cotton is still harvested by hand.
There is also a point where volume does not make it up enough. Most economical depends on price in the end. Long term we need to get economical and probably lower than we are now. We are not alone in this commodity price deflation, look how far oil prices have fallen. And oil fracting continues to get more economical all the time.
Remember this all can change 2005 corn cash price was really low that fall by summer of 2008 it was at all time highs.

I woke up and noticed that I'd received two text messages, at 5:20 and 5:34 this morning. Since none of my friends wake up before 10, I was concerned. On closer inspection, the phone number that sent the messages was not at all familiar to me. These were the texts:
Creepy! I checked the number online and it originated out of Kansas City, Missouri. I don't know anyone in the area who'd send texts like that as a joke. My first, paranoid thought was that it was someone who looked me up online and decided to try to save my soul. But on second thought, the message looks way too generic. Is this some sort of new spamming technique? I haven't written back in case this is a phishing scam. Has anyone else gotten texts that look like these? Or is God communicating via semi-literate text messages these days?

Mises Wire
From Noahpinion to No Clue?
Over at The Week, Noah Smith, an economics professor at Stony Brook University and of online "Noahpinion" fame, attempts a dismissal of the Austrian school of economics. His critique is intended to show that "the Austrian School's demise came not because its ideas were rejected and marginalized, but because most of them were co-opted by mainstream macroeconomics." But Smith is obviously far from an expert on Austrian theory (or the history of it).
The argument that Austrian ideas have already been incorporated in mainstream economics has already been repeated by mainstreamers so many times that it would be strange if they don't believe it by now. It is easy to see where Smith got the "idea" to add to the myth-building. But there was perhaps some truth to it, at least in the 1930s, as Pete Boettke noted in 2002:
By the mid-30's ... the idea of a distinct Austrian program, even in the minds of the Austrians themselves, was seriously waning, in part because the mainstream more or less absorbed the important points the Austrians were making. Mises (1933, 214) had argued that while it is commonplace in modern economics to distinguish between the Austrian, Anglo-American, and Lausanne School, "these three schools of thought differ only in their mode of expressing the same fundamental idea and that they are divided more by their terminology and by peculiarities of presentation than by the substance of their teachings."
But since then several things have happened and the Austrian and mainstream/neoclassical schools have drifted apart. Not only has the Austrian school further developed and strengthened its theory (by such "minor" works as Human Action and Man, Economy, and State) and seen a resurgence, mainstream economics has stumbled down a very non- (anti-?) Austrian path of unreal assumptions hidden in layers of excessive mathematization, and, thanks to their adherence to Whig theory, lost most of its economic heritage and sound grounding.Smith produces a "new" flavor of the mainstream Whig fable of Austrian irrelevance by claiming that the "'New Classical' research program of Robert Lucas and Ed Prescott shares just enough similarities with the Austrian school to basically steal all their thunder." (Yes, he writes "all.")
He's right in the sense that there is no reason why mainstream lines of thought should not incorporate the strengths of Austrian theory, just like they should incorporate - to the extent possible - other theories found useful. But that there is incentive to use Austrian thought doesn't mean it has happened. At least not - unfortunately - in economics. It is however true in other disciplines such as entrepreneurship and management, as Peter G. Klein and I show in a forthcoming RAE paper.
Smith's similarities don't come very far in proving the point he thinks he makes. If he proves anything, it is that he lacks rather fundamental knowledge of Austrian theory and methodology. He displays a very shallow interpretation of it in some type of text-analysis fashion, and that appears to be the basis for identifying all of the "similarities." Let's have a look at the comprehensive list:
1. Human Action Axiom. Smith here uses a quote from Human Action and notes that Mises talks about the individual's "goals and ends" and how she makes "conscious adjustments" as the world changes. For some reason, he finds that Misesian action "seems very similar to modern economists' notions of individual rationality" and rational expectations. Whatever made Smith think so is not entirely clear, but it might be that mainstreamers also use words like "goals," "ends," and "adjustments." And that Mises considers action always rational (from the perspective of the individual).
Yet it would be very difficult to fit Misesian action, especially considering the subjective, temporal, and speculative properties of this concept, into a mainstream-style model of mathematical rationality (which is typically more "objective"). That action is rather distinct from choice (rational decision-making) further complicates things since the former is inherently entrepreneurial (in the speculative, temporal, uncertainty-bearing sense) while the latter can be applied under perfect information conditions and does not even imply that the individual takes action.
2. Praxeology. This is obviously an extreme view. New Classical macro, to Smith, "doesn't go nearly this far, but it has some of the same flavor." How one can use a different method but with a "flavor" of praxeology isn't clear, but Smith doesn't even attempt to show how this is the case. Rather, he addresses the (by critics projected) cockiness of praxeologists by noting how Prescott claimed his theories are "too good to be rejected by econometric studies" and that Sargent was asked him to stop his empirical tests because they were "rejecting too many good models."
It should be quite obvious that a good theory does not need to be subjected to natural-science style falsification if it follows from true assumptions. Especially since "data" in the social sciences are necessarily both selected and interpreted before they're even entered into a model. Nevertheless, it seems Smith confuses praxeology with deductive theory in general (mainstream economics still pays lip service to the latter). But he is clear on that what he's noted about mainstreamers "is far from praxeology" since they "did not ignore data entirely." So obviously Smith seems to think that praxeology is simply a quirky way to say Never Use Data.
There is one more similarity, and it seems to have something to do with "blaming" government for its "allegedly" interventionist policies. How this is a major theoretical point should be difficult to see for anyone who has not had his or her brain soaked in progressive anti-think.
Smith also notes that there are differences, for instance that the New Classical macroeconomists are heavily into mathematical modeling and don't care much for malinvestments as a cause of the boom-bust cycle. But most of the differences are differences in degree and not in kind, so they shouldn't undermine his case.
The grand evidence Smith has collected makes him conclude that "the New Classicals drank the Austrians' milkshake." As to his analysis about how Austrian economics has been co-opted, he states:
The only slight exception is the idea of malinvestment and financial market malfunction, which the New Classicals discarded entirely...but that is unlikely to provide a big enough foundation on which to rebuild the edifice of the Austrian School. I'm pretty confident in saying that the paradigm of von Mises and Hayek is dead.
What can one say? It would certainly be difficult for a school of theory to rise from the grave after such devastating critique.
However, I'd like to humbly add a couple of "slight exceptions" of my own that Smith probably regarded too minor to include. For example temporal analysis and the importance of time, capital theory and the structure of production, Austrian monetary theory, entrepreneurship, and subjectivism. Of course, I don't think this would in any sense change Smith's great analysis.
Update: It's been brought to my attention that Peter Klein discussed another, similar commentary by Noah Smith almost a year ago. Peter there suggested Smith should "use the Google," a recommendation that obviously fell on deaf ears.

If you look at the list of asteroids on the site
then each record has the color designation of an asteroid belonging to a certain class of orbits:
In the official NASA database on asteroids and comets
https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb_query.cgi there is even more detailed asteroids in the class of orbits:
Celestia 1.6.1 has the following options:
"SpectralType" class "Star"
"Type" for a class of "Galaxy"
"Type" for class "Locations"
I suggest to include the parameter "TypeOrbit" for 1.7.0
Advantages (additional service):
1) With this parameter, you can group asteroids in the Celestial catalog.
2) In the graphical interface, this parameter can be specified in the information panel Kepler parameters:
3) This option will simplify the management of the visibility of asteroids using lua-files. If now you need a list of asteroids in the Luau file, if you have the option, you just need to specify the orbit type. When creating new asteroids lua-files do not need to be edited.
