Lawyers as Agents of the Devil in a Prisoner's Dilemma Game
Do the parties in a typical dispute face incentives similar to those in the classic prisoner's dilemma game? In this paper, we explore whether the costs and benefits of legal representation are such that each party seeks legal representation in the hope of exploiting the other party, while knowing full well that failing to do so will open up the possibility of being exploited. The paper first shows how it is possible to test for the presence of such an incentive structure in a typical dispute resolution system. It then reports estimates of the incentives for the parties to obtain legal representation in wage disputes that were settled by final-offer arbitration in New Jersey. The paper also reports briefly on similar studies of data from discharge grievances, courtannexed disputes in Pittsburgh, and child custody disputes in California. In each case, the data provide evidence that the parties face strong individual incentives to obtain legal representation which makes the parties jointly worse off. Using our New Jersey data, we find that expert agents may well have played a productive role in moderating the biases of their clients, but only early on in the history of the system. Over time, the parties slowly evolved to a non-cooperative equilibrium where the use of lawyers becomes nearly universal, despite the fact that agreeing not to hire lawyers is cheaper and does not appear to alter arbitration outcomes.Download Info

High Fives for safety with Roy Tuscany
When it comes to Action Sports, athletes are accepting huge risk for huge reward.
Athletes like Shaun White have made fortunes from extreme sports, but many have ended up on the complete opposite side of the equation with massive injuries and even death.
One man stands alone on the sideline of the injured, handing out "High Fives" for recovery.
Roy Tuscany who suffered a spinal cord injury while training in 2006 at Mammoth Mountain in California decided to pave a way for the survivors of action sports injuries from traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries and beyond.
In 2009, he founded the High Five Foundation to provide grants and gifts to injured athletes who need financial help during their recoveries. He doesn't stop there, and is a spokesperson for safety and most recently launched a "Helmets are Cool" campaign sponsored by the National Ski Patrol, POC Helmets , Snocru, Squaw Valley, and Alpine Meadows.
The CR Johnson Healing Center is named after famed freeride skier CR Johnson, who was an X-Games champion and well-known skier who pioneered new tricks in and out of the half pipe. He suffered a TBI while filming a ski movie when Kye Peterson landed on CR's head after the two skiers jumped off of the same back country kicker.
Johnson died four years later attempting to revitalize his ski career at his home resort of Squaw Valley, Calif.
Listen to my interview with Roy Tuscany in the player below.
Gillian Gibree: Professional Stand Up Paddle Boarder
From the hills of western Massachusetts Gillian Gibree heard the call of the ocean. Her high school accomplishments in softball and swimming led her to Cape Cod, where she began a seven-year career as a professional life guard. From there, the conversion to surfing and eventually stand up paddle boarding was easy.
Now, Gibree travels the globe as a professional paddle boarder and yoga instructor, motiving others in the art of movement, balance and self discovery.
Gillian has participated four times in the 36 mile Cape Cod Bay Challenge a Stand Up Paddle Board Challenge which takes place this Saturday starting in Plymouth Ma and ending in Wellfleet Ma. Over all a 12 plus hour journey across the Cape Cod Bay to raise money for Christopher's Haven a charity that provides support for both families and cancer patients at Bostons MassGeneral Hospital for Children and the Dana-Farber/Childrens Hospital Cancer Center.
Gibree recently lead a world record attempt in Stand Up Paddle Boarding, where she organized over 250 people to participate in the largest gathering of people doing yoga on Stand Up Paddle Boards in California's Lake Tahoe.
Listen to more about the the Cape Cod Bay Challenge and learn more about Gillian in Edging the Xtreme's interview on Radio BDC:

Stand-up paddle boarders race across the Charles River
The Cape Cod Bay Challenge's primary goal is to raise money for a wonderful charitable cause: Christophers Haven, a comfortable housing complex and supportive community for families who bring patients to Boston's Mass General Hospital for Children for brain tumors and cancer.
And the Challengers do this by bringing together a group of people who forge new friendships and deep bonds as they physically and mentally challenge themselves through stand-up paddle boarding.
With other four events during the season, organizers brought stand-up paddle boarding to the Charles River this weekend. The four mile race started at the Community Boating Center. In August, athletes will go the distance from Plymouth to Wellfleet in a 34 mile marathon that starts at sunrise.
Edging the Xtreme caught up with cancer survivor Dan Olsen, the founder of Christopher's Haven, and Mike Chase of the Cape Cod Bay Challenge to discuss the growing popularity of stand up paddle boarding (SUP) and how they are supporting a worthy cause.
X Games athletes take over Munich's Olympic Stadium
Three-Pete, Five-Pete and even an Eight-Pete are becoming familiar terms, as multiple athletes strike gold, embodying rock star status in the world of X Games.
On top of the heap is skateboarder Bob Burnquist, who captured his twenty-fifth X Games medal this past weekend.
Listen to my segment on RadioBDC:
X Game athletes pleased huge crowds in and around the famed Olympic Stadium in Munich, Germany. The range of events featured RallyCross, Enduro, Moto X, Mountain Bike Slope Style, BMX Slope Style, Skate, and the X Game signature Big Air events.
The Womens Enduro X event races showed the grit of these type of events. Enduro X is a test of strength, balance and fitness, combined with the power of a motocross bike, and it was grueling. Maria Forsberg won her third career X Games gold medal.
New to the X Games this year was Mountain Bike Slope Style, and the gold was won by Canadian Brett Rheeder, who has been known to train and hang out at Highland Mountain Bike Park in New Hampshire.
It's been said many time that these athletes are pushing the limits like never before, and it continues to be true. The X Games now come back to their home court (Los Angeles) for the last stop on the world tour August 1 through 4.

Kelly Ross: One Tough Mudder
The Tough Mudder obstacle course events have become very popular in a relatively short period of time, and they are attracting a wide variety of participants who strive to test themselves in a military style course designed by the British Special Forces.
"But Tough Mudder is more than an event, its a way of thinking," explains the event's website. "By running a Tough Mudder challenge, youll unlock a true sense of accomplishment, have a great time, and discover a camaraderie with your fellow participants thats experienced all too rarely these days."
Edging the Xtreme recently caught up with Kelly Ross a mother of two, who holds down a full time job and firmly believes that when you're in your mid-40s, it's never to late to be a "Tough Mudder." She completed the event at Gunstock, NH.
Listen to me chat with Kelly, on Edging the Xtreme:
Boasting over 700,000 participants world-wide, Tough Mudder raises money for the "Wounded Worrier Project" and promotes team work, as the course is nearly impossible to do alone and requires teams to complete many of the obstacles. These events also follow the recent fitness craze beyond aerobics, yoga, weight training and Triathlons. These events promote attitude, fun, and total body fitness they are not competitions.
The next up-coming Tough Mudder is at Mount Snow Resort in Vermont August 1and 2.

Vasu Sojitra: Incredible backcountry skier with one leg
I met Vasu Sojitra last Friday while he was hiking up to ski Tuckerman Ravine. He was celebrating the end of his college career at UVM with a pack of friends, a typical thing to do on a beautiful spring day in May. Except Vasu only has one leg!
At nine months, Sojitra had his leg amputated, but he's never looked back. He climbs mountains, hikes and skies, and isn't deterred, although he does say he needs to eat more than your average person.
Listen to the most recent installment of Edging the Xtreme to hear more about the amazing backcountry accomplishments of this extraordinary young man.

Interview with cyclist Georgia Gould, Olympic bronze medalist
In mountain biking it takes a rare breed to rise to the top. Last summer at the London Summer Olympics, USA's Georgia Gould had the worst start in her career. Yet when the day was done, she was standing on the podium with a Olympic Bronze Medal.
As a sponsored rider on LUNA Women's Mountain Bike Team, Gould has plenty of motivation to continue to compete on the world stage. As the 2013 World Cup Season kicks off in Germany later in the month, Gould hopes to build on her past success and capture the elusive World Cup Victory, as well as defend her National Title.
In the fall, shell turn her attention to racing cyclocross with the aim of defending her 2012 USGP series championship. Georgia lives in Fort Collins, Colorado with her husband Dusty, their 28 bicycles, five chickens, a hive of bees and a garden full of vegetables.

Record-breaking, big wave surfer Garrett McNamara
Garrett McNamara, who also goes by GMAC, is an American professional big wave surfer, and extreme waterman, known for breaking the world record for largest wave ever surfed around the world. He has been a passionate surfer since his family moved from Pittsfield, Mass. to the beaches of Hawaii and he has never looked back. McNamara's professional career spans over two decades around the pacific and beyond.
Dont let McNamaras laid-back, surfer persona fool you: as an professional athlete in his mid-forties, an age at which most are thinking of stepping to the sideline, he's ramping it up a notch. His recent world record wave ride in Portugal was on a wave ranging from 90-100 feet in height, and for him it was just another day at work.
That day that was six-plus years in the making. McNamara was tipped off to the wave by an email sent from a small village on the coast of Portugal. A local that wanted to know if the wave, a geographic phenomenon off the coast of Portugal called the North Canyon, was worth riding.
Living with the constant quest of riding the barrel or tube of the wave, McNamara's adventures include surfing in Alaska on a wave caused by the falling ice of a glacier into the frozen arctic waters. McNamara admits it was "a little crazy, but worth the risk, because the falling ice creates perfect waves."
He credits his survival to planning and fitness along, with his ability to hold his breath. McNamara is currently taking classes so he can surpass his personal best of 4.5 minutes under water.
You have to survive the beating the wave hands out, said McNamara, and sometimes the bottom is a bit rough, like a coral reef, so you really just take a series of breaths whenever you can.
Over the past 10 years, McNamara has been on a mission to catch the biggest, best waves on the planet, and he has succeeded. He is arguably the most committed ocean explorer in the world. You can put him in any situation in the water and GMAC is not only ready to go, but go hard!
At 17 years old, McNamara entered and placed in the prestigious Hawaiian Triple Crown Series. Along with his brother Liam, McNamara began to attract the attention of major sponsors and signed deals with a number of prominent brands in Japan. The brothers spent the next 10 years on the competition circuit, traveling and becoming fluent in Japanese. It was the realization of a dream come true for both brothers.
McNamara continued to push the limits of pro surfing, and soon he started to get towed into waves on Personal Water Craft or Jet Skis, which enable surfers to chase down and catch giant waves that were thought to be impossible, beyond the reach of surfers paddling with their bare hands.
Predictably, McNamara couldn't leave well enough alone. He is still on a mission to explore the worlds oceans for the best and biggest waves Mother Nature has to offer.
Listen to the complete Garrett McNamara interview on Edging the Xtreme on Radio BDC with Dan Egan. GMAC talks about surviving the white water of his world record ride and compares it to riding on a moving avalanche of snow.

Get fit this Spring, ten minutes is all you need
The past is history and the future is a mystery says Mr. Fitness, Tony Horton. Feel good now, work out now and make it a habit.
More from RadioBDC: Listen to Part 1 of Dan Egan's interview with Tony Horton
Horton, the founder of fitness regimen P90X, takes no excuses for delaying fitness and preaches both nutrition and activity. One of his main themes is clean up the diet and get off the sugar, the fats, salts and chemicals, processed foods that come from boxes and bags. If you go to www.beachbody.com and check out his orginal program, titled Power 90,you can see Horton's recipe for weight loss and nutrition.
His new program, 10 Minute Trainer,sounds too good to be true, but as he explains in the second part of the Radio BDC interview, it's just to get people started in forming good habits so 10 minutes turns into 20 minutes, and it grows from there.
After the success of his first two books, Bring It and Crush It, he is launching his third, out this summer. There seems no end in sight for his fitness empire expansion, which includes a video game, food line, clothing line and sunglasses.
Tony Horton is a motivator and he has built his success on making getting fit both fun and effective. His approach is sometimes corny, and often over-the-top, but the bottom line is: his programs work.
So if you're looking to break free of the winter and looking towards a spring and summer of fun in the sun and feeling better about yourself, start any one of his programs and stick with it.
Just check out his web page www.tonyhortonsworld.com. Youll be glad you did.

One of the most often overlooked factors in the care of small animals is preventive health and veterinary care.
In the case of dumbo rats, these delicate creatures need attentive owners who can recognize signs of illness and distress and are able to quickly take proactive steps to ensure the health of their pets. Rats suffer from a number of illnesses and identifying the symptoms will enable an owner to enjoy the company of his rat for a long time.
Excess Weight and Tumors
Dumbo rats, especially females, are highly susceptible to the development of tumors.These may be either benign or malignant. However, there are three ways to prevent your rat from developing a tumor. Give your rat foods that are low in fat and calories; studies have shown a link between obesity and tumors. You could also purchase a rat from a breeder who has selected stock with a low tendency of tumors. You may also choose male rats over females, as they are not as susceptible to mammary tumors.
Skin Diseases
Rats develop skin diseases due to a variety of factors, mainly be due to parasites like lice or mites. The scratching can result in unsightly scabs that could become infected. Dumbo rats often develop allergies, fungal skin infections, or eczema. Selamectin, marketed under the product name 'Revolution' is a prescription liquid treatment that you can use if you suspect that your dumbo rat has lice or mites. If scabs have developed, apply a vitamin E cream or antibiotic to prevent infection.
Overgrown Teeth
Rats have one set of teeth in their lives, which are constantly growing. A rat needs the tooth on one jaw to keep grinding against the one on the opposite jaw to keep them in good health. If your dumbo rat loses a tooth or a tooth is damaged, the corresponding one on the opposite jaw will become overgrown. This is known as malocclusion and may result in painful sores and a dangerous loss of weight. For a rat suffering from this condition, it is possible to trim the tooth.

Xiang, Wei and Pietrobon, Steven S. (2005) A new class of parallel data convolutional codes. In: AusCTW 2005: 6th Australian Communications Theory Workshop, 2-4 Feb 2005, Brisbane, Australia.
AusCTW2005.pdf Download (730Kb) |
We propose a new class of parallel data convolutional codes (PDCCs) in this paper. The PDCC encoders inputs are composed of an original block of data and its interleaved version. A novel single self-iterative soft-in/soft-out a posteriori probability (APP) decoder structure is proposed for the decoding of the PDCCs. Simulation results are presented to compare the performance of PDCCs.

Ethanol and Unleaded Gasoline Average Rack Prices |
As of February 2007, the rack price of ethanol was $2.12 versus $1.74 for unleaded gasoline--a difference of 38 cents per gallon. The ethanol rack price was 14 cents lower compared to the price in January and 40 cents lower than a year ago. Unleaded gasoline's average rack price was 25 cents higher than the price in January and seven cents higher than a year ago. Both fuels' prices reversed the course on which they were headed. |

Today's vintage apron is named"Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" She will be for sale at Rick Rack Attack in a few days As if that wasn't enough to get your attention... Looky here, she's reversible! Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary How does your garden grow? With silver bells & cockle shells And pretty maids all in a row What the heck is a cockle shell? Dunno. What I do know is that I ordered some of my garden seeds from Burpee's online today! As a military family, we have literally moved 10 times in 15 years. I enjoy gardening. I have had a garden at nearly all of our homes- some small & easy and some fairly large with tons of variety. However, the one thing that I have grown in every garden is sunflowers. Sunflowers are my kind of flower! You throw 'em in the ground & cover 'em up with a little bit of dirt. Ya' water them if you remember too. If ya' feel like it, you sprinkle some fertilizer on 'em every now & then. But, either way, no matter how little or how much attention & TLC you give them... they are stunning! What I can't believe is that I never took any pics of my gardens. What was I thinking?! Gonna have to do something about that this year. These are the seeds that I purchased. We have approximately 1 acre of property. The front of our property has wooden privacy fencing & in the back we have chain link fencing which is surrounded by woods. In my opinion, the chain link fence is not very aesthetically plesasing, but we have a pool & need a fenced yard. If we had put up a wooden privacy fence, we'd block the view of the wooded area, so a chain link fencing is what we decided to settle for. Anyways... I'm thinking that I'll plant sunflowers all along the fence line to cover up that ugly ol' chain link fence. It's gonna be purty! I'll share pics with ya' along the way. |

Setter Injection With Objects, Spring Dependency In The Form Of Objects
Spring »
On Aug 6, 2011 | { 7 Comments }
In previous example, we have seen that our spring bean class object depends on the string primitive, and now will see what if our class is depends on other class object, i mean dependency in the form of object.
- While constructing spring beans, if one spring bean is depends on another spring bean class for performing some logic, this process of dependency is called object dependency
- If object dependency is there then in spring framework, the spring IOC container is responsible for creating that required object and injecting into the dependent class
For spring configuration xml, we have 2 ways to inform to the spring container about this object dependency
- By using inner beans
- Using <ref /> element
Actually with inner beans we have some disadvantages and its not the way to use in the real time projects so am not going to explain about it.
So we will see about <ref /> element, and i forgot to tell you actually in previous example we have one spring configuration file right [ spconfig.xml ], in spring we can write multiple configuration xmls, i will tell you how its going to work in the following example
Using <ref /> element
Syntax will be
<ref local/parent/bean="id of collaborator bean">
Actually we used to write either local or parent or bean, means as i told you earlier, we can write any number of spring configuration xmls for the spring application. Our collaborator bean may be in same xml or other xml so spring has given these 3 options, we will see one by one.
<ref local="id value" />
If we use the local attribute in the <ref /> element then the spring IOC container will verify for the collaborator bean with in same container [ i mean in same xml ]
In general we try to configure all spring beans into a single spring configuration xml only. But its not mandatory we can create multiple configure files too right.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
public DemoBean { public SampleBean sb; public void setSb(SampleBean sb) { this.sb = sb; } public void m1() { sb.m2(); } } |
Note: See am calling m2() method in SamepleBean so now let us see how the xml file will be
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
<beans> <bean id="id1"> <property name="sb" class="DemoBean"> <ref local="id2" /> </property> </bean> <bean id="id2" class="SampleBean"> </beans> |
So our DemoBean class depends on other class object SampleBean, see in the xml line number 5 i have specified ref tag with local attribute and given that required class id, why local…? because that required (collaborator) class also i have configured in the same xml file [ line number 9 ], so spring container will check only in this xml only
<ref parent="id value" />
But we can also configure the collaborator class in other xml like…
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
<beans> <bean id="id1"> <property name="sb" class="DemoBean"> <ref parent="id2" /> </property> </bean> </beans> |
1 2 3 4 5 |
<beans> <bean id="id2" class="SampleBean"> </beans> |
In this case, we have to write parent as attribute, see spconfig1.xml line number 5. As we specified parent, spring container will only checks in the parent i mean spconfig2.xml only
If we give attribute as bean, then first it will checks at local xml file, then parent if its not available at local. Hey you will be able to understand once you got through the example…, let us see the program on this in the next session.
What you are thinkig....
why string is immutable?
Check this link, to understand about string immutable.
What I can say is 1,00,000 times thank you for providing such a nice and step by step tutorial on spring. Your chapters are framed in such a good manner that after reading these it seems that any one can can learn online very easily. Really no need of regular classes or to pay high amount of money. It was very tough to me to suppose to learn spring before coming to this site.
Thank you very much.
My best Regards for you. -
Thanks for providing such kind of tutorial.
I want to know how to integrate spring with hibernate, so
pls provide it ASAP. -
can you please explain me how spconfig1.xml can understood it's parent is spconfig2.xml?
Hi Java4s team,
Can you please explain how the spconfig1.xml can understood it's parent is spconfig2.xml? -
Thanks for this tutorial..its really very helpful to me

Legend has it that long ago, even before it was filled with snow, Almia Castle was ruled by a king with three sons. The king wanted peace for Almia but his vigorous sons changed all this. He banished all three of his sons. One in red went to a volcano. One in yellow went to a desert. The youngest prince, one in blue, was allowed to stay. Over the years, the king felt guilty over his decision. Eventually, this caused darkness to consume him, forming the Shadow Crystal.
The Tears of Princes are a set of gems formed by the sons. When all three gems are placed near the Shadow Crystal, they neutralize the darkness inside it, turning it into the Luminous Crystal instead.
The Ranger Union has succeeded in acquiring the three Gems – also known as the Tears of Princes. These Gems will allow the Rangers to eliminate the mass Pokémon brainwashing wreaking havoc across Almia.
Due to this, the Sinis Trio plans to attempt to secure the gems to prevent the power of the Shadow Crystal from being weakened.
It is now up to the Ranger Union to determine who is a threat, and who is pretending to help the Union so they can steal the Gems to use for their nefarious schemes.
Mission… begin!

In October 1962, his increasing reliance on Soviet aid brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Wanting to deter another U.S. invasion of Cuba, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev conceived an idea of placing nuclear missiles in Cuba,
just 90 miles off the coast of Florida. He justified the move as a response to U.S. Jupiter missiles deployed in Turkey. An American U2 reconnaissance plane discovered the missile base construction before the missiles were installed. President Kennedy responded by demanding the removal of the missiles with orders for the U.S. Navy to search any vessels headed for the island.
Over the course of several anxious days of secret communications between Khrushchev, Kennedy and their agents, Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles in exchange for the United States' public agreement not to invade Cuba. The Kennedy administration also agreed to secretly remove the Jupiter missiles from Turkey. Both leaders saved face and gained some admiration for restraint. Castro, on the other hand, was humiliated: Both superpowers completely left him out of the negotiations. Furthermore, the United States was able to persuade the Organization of American States to end diplomatic relations with Cuba, in response to Castro's "shameful" actions.
Cuba Under Castro
But Castro wasn't shamed for long. In 1965, he merged Cuba's Communist Party with his revolutionary organizations, placing himself as head of the party. Within a few years, he began a campaign of supporting armed struggle against imperialism in Latin American and African countries. In 1966, Castro founded the Asia-Africa-Latin America People's Solidarity Organization to promote revolution on three continents. In 1967, he formed the Latin America Solidarity Organization to foster revolution in select Latin-American countries.
In the 1970s, Castro promoted himself as the leading spokesperson for Third World countries by providing military support to pro-Soviet forces in Angola, Ethiopia and Yemen. Though Cuba was heavily subsidized by the Soviet government, those expeditions ultimately proved unsuccessful and put a strain on the Cuban economy.
The U.S. agreement not to invade Cuba didn't preclude toppling the Castro regime in other ways. Castro was the target of CIA assassination attempts (an estimated 638 in all, according to Cuban intelligence) over the years. These ranged from exploding cigars, to a fungus-infected scuba-diving suit, to a mafia-style shooting. He took great delight in the fact that none of the attempts ever succeeded. Castro was reported as saying that if avoiding assassination attempts was an Olympic sport, he would have won gold medals.
Castro's regime has been credited with opening 10,000 new schools and increasing literacy to 98 percent. Cubans enjoy a universal health-care system, which has decreased infant mortality to 11 deaths in 1,000 (1.1 percent). But civil liberties have been whittled away, as labor unions lost the right to strike, independent newspapers were shut down and religious institutions were harassed.

George Bradley (1953 / Roslyn, New York)
Where the Blue Begins
In the southern Adriatic, where the blue begins,
We came to rest awhile and play
On sun-drenched islands known as Tremiti,
Where the breeze blows fresh
And pine trees shiver and the salt sea
Washes the likes of you and me,
In the southern Adriatic, in the wind-blown spray.
In the bluest water, just where it begins,
We came to play awhile, came to rest
On rocky shores of barren coves,
As the swells arrived and water splashed
And reflected sunlight jumped and shimmered
Among the cliffs and overhangs and grottoes,
In the Adriatic, where that sort of thing begins.
In the clear blue water that the swells bring by
Out of the sunny Adriatic Sea,
We came to rest and play and bathe ourselves,
As the pine trees swayed on the bluffs above
And wind dispersed the salt sea spray,
In the sunny Adriatic, where a way of life begins.
We came seeking an immersion, to find ourselves
In waters clear enough to fathom
A bottom profoundly blue, to see it seemed
All the way to Greece or any other site
That water washed as well or sun could so ignite,
Came to see ourselves in a world of dreams,
That words might furnish what place implies,
That place might finish what a word begins.
We came seeking clearest water, sunniest sky,
Came, you and I, to see what would be seen
Immersed in waters consummately blue,
In sunlit swells that carried their dark secret,
Tiny hosts known as meduse, whose fragile arms
Glanced and stung and burned all day
And raised the blush that blossomed on our skins,
Aggravated by the sun and spray,
By our own attempts to hold each other,
As we swam out of ourselves and were swept away,
In the southern Adriatic, where the blue begins.

Heat Keeping Close Eye On Oden's Progress
The Miami Heat is hoping to avoid a four-game losing streak when the team plays the Philadelphia 76ers Friday night. One of the biggest questions in the game will be the status of center Greg Oden.
Bizarre Week In South Florida Sports
Legendary former Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi once famously said, "What the hell's going on out there?" That sentiment, spoken decades ago, summarizes what many fans may be thinking after a week of strange sports stories in South Florida.
Heat Sweeps 76ers, 106-87
LeBron James went through a series of tests before the game, all under the watchful eye of the Miami Heat training staff and some coaches.
Heat Hold Off Sixers 98-94, Extend Winning Streak To 20

A worst-case scenario
Other negative effects could include a sell-off in the equity markets, which could hit retirement accounts hard. Banks could stop lending to each other and to consumers, preferring to hang on to assets rather than risk them by lending. A sharp decrease in spending by wary consumers could mean that the economy, weak already, could falter further. All of these scenarios, Praveen said, could build on themselves, and the snowball effect could send the economy back into recession.
It is this "fear factor" that Praveen sees as having the most potential for damage.
Praveen was quick to point out that this would be a worst-case scenario he saw as highly unlikely. He predicted that the nation's leaders will stop acting like "little children" and that an agreement will be reached to raise the debt ceiling. Even if that does not happen by Aug. 2, Praveen said he expects an agreement within a couple of days after that date.
"A short shutdown would not mean a lasting event," he said. "There would be a one- to two-day sell-off in the markets, and that's it, before things start getting back to normal."
Again, perception would be key -- in this case, perception of how long a government shutdown would last, of how long it would be before some agreement is reached on spending and/or borrowing.
"We'd be living at the four-way intersection of finance, politics, symbolism and psychology," said Paul Palazzo, the managing director of financial planning at Altfest Personal Wealth Management in New York. "A default would almost certainly result in higher uncertainty and anxiety, none of which is generally good for consumer confidence. But there doesn't have to be lasting damage. . . . In an uncertain environment, the movement of money could well slow down. But again, the question is, What time frame are we talking about -- days, weeks, months?"
Powell, of the Bipartisan Policy Center, told CBS News last week that even a short shutdown could cause a "lasting blemish" on the U.S. credit record, making future borrowing more costly for the U.S. government and resulting in more debt for taxpayers to repay. But Powell and Praveen agreed that any negative effect on the U.S. dollar's value would be cushioned by the debt crisis in Europe.
"The euro is already weakening," Praveen said, "and with two currencies in weakening trends, you could see strengthening of some other currencies -- the Japanese yen, for instance."
A weaker dollar makes U.S. goods cheaper, but Praveen points out that the benefits to U.S. exporting would be muted. "Even if U.S. goods are cheaper, with a general recession worldwide, then who's going to buy?" he asked.
Because the dollar is unlikely to weaken against the euro, trips to Europe may not become more expensive. However, Praveen said, some currencies could get stronger against the dollar, and trips to Asia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico would become more expensive.
"That may lead some Americans to cancel their summer trips abroad or spend less when they travel," he said.
Another effect of a weakened dollar would be that goods imported to the U.S. would not be as cheap as they are now. That could include items from China, although Praveen said there's a caveat there. The Chinese currency is controlled by the Chinese central bank, which might choose to keep the exchange rate intact so that Chinese goods remained attractive to U.S. consumers.
What should investors do?
Despite all the potential negative consequences of not raising the borrowing limit or reducing federal spending, Altfest's Palazzo is telling his clients there wouldn't have to be fundamental damage to the economy.
"We are telling clients to stay the course," he said. "It is true that if the situation isn't resolved, markets could go down. It's also true that if it is resolved, they could go up. . . . We believe portfolios should be designed for the long term, in a way that enables clients to withstand the fluctuations that come along the way."
Estimates of retirement-account losses in 2008 range from 22% to 33%. But that incoming wave of the recession might have served as a warning to retirees to adjust the holdings in their accounts to protect against another dip. Losses in individual accounts because of a U.S. borrowing crisis would depend on the structure of those accounts -- how much was invested in stocks, credit instruments and other holdings.
An advisory to clients issued this week at Merriman, a financial-planning company based in Seattle, had much the same advice as Palazzo's, noting that "despite a subsequent worldwide major economic crisis, and with continuing worries about the anemic recovery, sovereign debt and the U.S. deficits, most of our composites are above their previous October 2007 high."
The advice to clients was to:
- Keep some cash on hand for emergencies.
- Maintain a well-balanced and thoroughly diversified portfolio.
- Rebalance your portfolio periodically.
Perhaps the bigger threat to the economy is the psychological factor that would be operating if the debt ceiling isn't raised.
"If people didn't get their Social Security checks, that would not be good," Palazzo said. "If people felt that government had become so dysfunctional that it couldn't carry out day-to-day responsibilities, then the symbolism could potentially be a lot more damaging in the long term than a missed check."
At least one consumer has suggested a way to use that symbolism -- along with some real consequences -- to bring an end to the wrangling over the debt ceiling. Pamela Clair of Toledo, Ohio, posted this suggestion to friends on her Facebook page and asked them to pass it on:
"Instead of threatening to withhold Social Security payments of people who really need the money, let's hold the paychecks of all House and Senate members, then see how fast it is resolved!"
Clair hopes her mini-movement will get the message across to higher-ups.
By Aug. 2? We'll see.

I think it is the custard in this pasta dish that makes it exclusive to expectant mums,,,and anyone they decide to let into the secret. I devised this dish while pregnant with my youngest child, and the only way I could satisfy my constant craving and keep my eldest daughter, who lives on pasta, away from my creation was to tell her it was custard instead of cheese sauce... It worked, as everyone knows pregnant women crave strange foods,,,and who is going to be brave enough to put it to the test?

I tried searching this, but it's hard to explain this to google.
I don't own a actual smart phone (black berry), and I am looking at windows phone.
So my question is; does an app that has versions on multiple operating systems, also have integration with phones with different phone operating systems (ie. can I use skype on my WP with someone that has skype for android, or any game of the sort)?
I understand this could be case by case or, not at all. I am confused and I hope the wording of that question didn't cause any headaches.
Thanks in advance. - 04-22-2012, 08:45 PM #2
Cross platform apps like Skype work on all phones across all platforms. Other apps and games can be cross platform meaning you can play head to head with people on Android and IOs but this is app specific. Usually apps that are cross platform have all the detail on there website.
Never hesitate to ask a question that is why we are here we love to help. - 04-22-2012, 09:05 PM #3
thanks man

Not a bad black beer. Looks exactly like Coca-Cola (except for the head) when poured. Malty nose and appropriate sweetness. Once again, not a bad example of a black beer.

The body is dark and clear with a very light tan head. Some raisin and molasses under light roasty malt. A thin bitter short finish with slight sourness. Not really impressive.

With a medium-sized, stable, creamy head, this beer has a dark, nearly black color. The taste is a robust coffee-like bitterness, sometimes like cooking chocolate .dry. Smell is roasted malts. Very nice bitter aftertaste. Little hop smell or character.

I am biased as this is my favorite style of beer, but this beer served to remind me why. I loved the presentation of both the bottle and in the glass. It poured a dark amber/near black with a thick tan head. There was a very malty aroma and the carbonation filled the mouth. The malty aroma carried through into the taste, which gave way to roasty undertones. It did not have as roasty of a flavor as Sprecher, more on par with Kostritzer.

Tasty bier; don't know why I didn't grab one while in Kulmbach a couple of years ago.... Very dark brown, though not nearly as dark as I had expected, what with the name and all (Schwarz...duh!). Huge creamy head, with lace all over the place. Nose was a mix of some malt and bitter chocolate....pleasing! Nice over the tongue, but I felt it was a tad thin. Roasted malt flavors mix with bitter chocolate, and there's a hint of hops in the dry finish. Not bad!!

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Presentation: 16.9 oz flip top brown bottle with no freshness date to be found.
Appearance: Very good lacing effect on the glass most of the way down, dark brown colour with reddish hues.
Smell: Clean aroma with some soft sweetness and vague roasted malt.
Taste: Extremely smooth and the medium sized body lays it on as think as it can forming a viscous mouth feel. Mild roasted malt flavour varying from coffee to chicory to faint charcoal but with nothing going to the point of overboard or even astringent. Hops are mild with a balancing presence and nothing else to show. Maltiness drops a splash of sweetness but the beer ends up being relatively dry with highly toasted grain flavours in the end.
Notes: A rich dark lager that holds a great smoothness and drinkability. Roasted flavours are perched perfectly on the taste buds and add a light complexity to the palate.

Intense, deep brown color with nice head. Low carbonation makes for intense creamy malt flavors, good nutiness and dry features. Hops are barely evident, some huskiness. Very good Dark Lager, longer-lasting flavor than many. Could use a tad more complexity, and a touch thin late in the profile...its a big brewery in Germany, wish it was easier to find here.

I'm using the JAXB implementation that comes with J2SE to serialize a bean that contains a HashMap property. I would assume that this should work out of the box since this states
JAXB spec defines a special handling for Map when it's used as a propety of a bean. For example, the following bean would produce XMLs like the following: ...
This more or less works unless the structure has more than one level, i.e. the HashMap is a property of a bean that is a property of a bean - like this:
import java.util.HashMap;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXB;
class bean {
@XmlElement public HashMap<String,String> map;
@XmlRootElement class b2 {
@XmlElement public bean b;
class foo {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
bean b = new bean();
b.map = new HashMap<String,String>();
b2 two = new b2();
JAXB.marshal(two, System.out);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e.toString());
This outputs
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><b2><b><map/></b></b2>
instead of a correctly formatted HashMap. It works if I annotate bean
with @XmlRootElement
and remove the @XmlElement
from map
, but I don't see why that should be necessary. Is it supposed to be like that?

Michigan Legislature approves new welfare limits
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Residents involved in roughly 12,500 welfare cases in Michigan could lose benefits under a stricter, four-year lifetime limit that has received final approval in the Michigan Legislature.
The Republican-led House passed the legislation with 73-34 votes Wednesday mostly along party lines.
The measures will go to Gov. Rick Snyder.
The welfare limit already has been approved as part of the state budget that kicks in Oct. 1. Lawmakers plan to put the cap in a separate state statute to help implement the budget plan. The state's current four-year limit on welfare benefits would expire Sept. 30 unless the Legislature revises or extends the limitations.
The revised welfare limits have fewer exemptions than the four-year limit now in state law.

07:21 AM ET 07.04 | Texas didn't scout Manny Ramirez in Taiwan before signing him, but the franchise is hearing good things now. [Rangers GM] Jon Daniels solicited the opinions of the staffers most familiar with Manny Ramirez. Hitting coach Dave Magadan and staff assistant Cesar Hernandez, with Ramirez at Boston in 2007-08, expressed no reservations. "I had no complaints," Magadan said. ... "I know Manny has changed in a lot of ways. We'll see how it goes." Hernandez worked out with Ramirez in Florida during the off-season and threw batting practice to him. Hernandez said Ramirez showed a quick bat and also seemed invigorated by an immersion in Christianity. "He'll be ready," Hernandez said. "He's really turned his life around. He's a different guy."

About Adidas
History and background of Adidas. In 1925, in a small German village, the world got it's first taste of Adidas. It was there, in a village by the name of Herzogenaurach, located 12 miles to the north and the west of Nuremberg, that those simple three stripes were brought to life by adidas' founder, Adolf "Adi" Dassler. Adi created adidas after realizing the need for performance athletic shoes. Read more about Adidas

Now we're gonna put you in the picture with Zomblaze - the energetic new contestant at Chi's stable - listing a random selection of his instinctive period, looking back on few years. He hit the road in Nyíregyháza, Hungary as a promoter, and soon made his way to the Budapest hip-hop scene in 2006, and took part in some notable productions with local core elements as a beatmaker.
Before you get to the present Zomblaze phenomenon, meet him on his way to consciousness, one step back in time. The three pieces of Machinstruments Vol.1. EP shows tribute to most music genres of his taste - such as glitch-hop, dubstep, electronica - besides the fundamental abstract hip-hop.
'Balkan Kannibalizm' and 'Mind Op' are proper hip-hop sounds, both sharing robust blustering baselines, and electronic intonation, souped up with cuts of voices, or gently streaming background suite.
'Out' is a bit different with its moderate pace. It is built from samples cut from old vinyls, enriched with scratch sounds, showing off a nice wide inventory of hip-hop, that is used properly in all three tracks...
Zomblaze's been through some changes since then, that Machinstruments Vol.2. will reveal next time.
