New Zealand Embassy Santiago, Chile
What the Embassy does
The New Zealand Embassy in Chile represents the New Zealand Government in Chile, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador. It works to strengthen the political, economic and commercial, and cultural links between New Zealand and these countries, and to provide consular services to New Zealanders. The Embassy is staffed by seconded and local staff representing the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, and Education New Zealand.
In the political sphere, the Embassy has the objective of bringing New Zealand closer to Chile, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador through promoting policy dialogue focusing on sectors such as Agriculture, Energy, Environment and Education. It supports regular visits and exchanges aimed at achieving mutually beneficial outcomes in these areas with government, business and academia. It also supports the negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP).
New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) is co-located with the Embassy. NZTE is New Zealand's international business development agency, whose role is to help New Zealand businesses build strategic alliances and develop commercial relationships internationally. Through a global network of 45 offices, NZTE connects New Zealand businesses with the world, sharing opportunities, knowledge, experience and networks.
The Embassy promotes educational links between New Zealand and its countries of accreditation. Education New Zealand is tasked to deliver strategies, programmes, and activities for promoting, together with providers and other government agencies, New Zealand education overseas. It is represented by two Market Development Managers based at the Embassy.
In the consular field, the objective of the Embassy is to protect the rights of New Zealand citizens and to ensure their well-being abroad. The Embassy helps New Zealanders in distress, including in the case of natural disasters, as well as with the renewal of their passports or the issue of emergency travel documents. The Embassy also assists people who want to obtain citizenship by descent. Other services such as authentication of New Zealand documents are also provided.
In addition, the Embassy legalises documents issued by Chilean Authorities to be used in New Zealand. A translation into English and authentication in the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a requirement before presenting them to the Embassy.

A loosely connected group of friends, lovers, and relatives interact in the midst of a brutal heat wave in this independent comedy-drama. Ray (Bob McGrath), a New Yorker in his early 40s, works as a "headhunter," employed to recruit valuable employees from other firms. While Ray has a white collar job, he doesn't take it very seriously and isn't encouraged to; he shows up in a T-shirt and shorts, leaves early to hang out in the park, and gets paid under the counter in cash, preferring to keep his savings...more

Went to Dreams Riviera Cancun for a wedding. I saw the many, many wonderful reviews and decided to read only the bad ones. Since I had to go there anyway, I thought I would prepare myself properly. What we got was absolutely the exact opposite of all the bad reviews.I only had one meal that I would not rate as a 5. I would rate it as a 4 because my steak was medium and not medium rare. The food was awesome! Whether it was room service or one of the restaurants, I was never disappointed.Our room was great too. The bed was comfortable and the amenities were perfect for the room. Since we only basically slept there, we didn't need any more than what was there. Every day there was a newsletter that informed you what was going on every day.I have noticed that most of the bad reviews stem from guests who have skewed from the normal operating procedures of the resort. If you feel that you're above the rules or you paid to make your own rules, you'll be sorely mistaken. We had one freakin' awesome week by learning how to make the most of what the resort had to offer. We read every piece of literature they had about the resort, did our research before we got there and knew exactly what to do when we got there. It couldn't have gone any better!Things to avoid: Don't get suckered into the 'breakfast' unless you're REALLY serious about buying. It will be a waste of your time.The bathroom by the pool bar. Unfortunately, there is only so much that can be done when operating a sanitation station below sea level. While they are super-clean, it does tend to smell like a penguinarium most of the time. Things to remember:Bring your tipping money. You're in Mexico! Everyone wants a tip! Find the staff members that are stationed at the pools, restaurants, etc and tip them well. You will NEVER be disappointed!!! Also, be sure to 'count' your tip money that you brought with you to the restaurants and make sure your waiter sees it. The level of service will increase ten-fold. If it doesn't, you don't have to tip.Try going in the off-season. We basically had the resort to ourselves for the whole week. It was incredible. We left just as the spring breakers started coming in. Sooooo glad we left before they all got there!!All in all, it was the best vacation I've had since my honeymoon. The staff was incredible and so nice! We are planning on taking the kids back over Thanksgiving. We loved every second of it!Ben- Macomb, MI

NFL: Jags' Blackmon receives indefinite ban
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon will not play again this season after being suspended indefinitely for breaching the NFL's substance-abuse policy.
It is a second ban this year for the second-year professional, who missed the first four games after pleading guilty to a drink-driving charge and was placed in the league's substance-abuse programme as a result.
An NFL statement reproduced on the Jaguars' website read: "Justin Blackmon of the Jacksonville Jaguars has been suspended indefinitely without pay for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.
"Blackmon's suspension begins immediately. He will be eligible to apply for reinstatement prior to the start of the 2014 season."
In a statement released to ESPN by Blackmon's agent, the 23-year-old said: "I am determined to overcome the issues that have resulted in this situation, and I truly appreciate the support that the Jaguars and my agent have shown me.
"I will address these matters with the type of intensity I usually direct toward my on-field play so that I can be ready to be a productive member of the team and community next season.
"I am truly sorry to (team owner Shahid) Khan, my team-mates and coaches and to the Jaguars fans for the impact of my situation on the team as well as to my family and friends and those that have been there for me during these challenging times. Nobody is more disappointed with all of this than me."
The Jaguars traded up to select Blackmon from Oklahoma State College with the fifth overall pick of the 2012 draft.
While with the Cowboys, Blackmon was a two-time winner of the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top college receiver, a feat only previously achieved by the San Francisco 49ers' Michael Crabtree when with Texas Tech.
Jaguars general manager David Caldwell told their website: "All of us who are a part of the Jaguars family care very deeply about Justin and his well-being. That said, he must be held accountable and accept the consequences announced today by the NFL.
"His suspension will provide him the opportunity to receive the attention and professional treatment necessary to overcome his challenges, and we will support him during this time.
"The Jacksonville Jaguars will evaluate Justin's status once he has successfully met the criteria to be considered for reinstatement to the league."

Co-parenting after a difficult divorce can be a challenge. Executive director of Parenting Horizons Julie A. Ross, M.A., discusses her new book co-authored by Judy Corcoran, Joint Custody With a Jerk: Raising a Child with an Uncooperative Ex: A Hands-on Practical Guide to Communicating with a Difficult Ex-Spouse.
Listeners: Parents who share custody of your kids with your ex: What advice would you give about how to cooperate, communicate, and co-parent with an ex? Or ask a question about how you should deal with a difficult ex. Call us or comment here!
Wow, jgarbuz aka Archie Bunker, I'm assuming your post is a joke. Sure hope so!
Amy from Manhattan -- go to
to find out about Mehrabian's absurd "study" (which pertains only to how much of "liking" is communicated by each of the three modalities) and how badly Julie A. Ross misinterpreted it (apparently following plenty of others in her profession).
The kind of bad behavior and "jerky" beyhavior described in the piece also continues to happen in sole custtody cases at well.
When a custodial parent behaves badly, their custodial staus simply gives them more power to do so.
The subtle abuse doesnt' occur when one parent has all of the power belies everything we know about human relationships.
R. Tunskers- I think you should talk to your kid(s) first and not necessarily just throw them into therapy. When my parents divorced when I was 11 I went to court-ordered child therapy and found some creepy stranger trying to pry into my life far more traumatic than I'm sure not going to counseling would have been!
The Feminists have succeeded in destroying the traditional PATRIARCHAL family unit, trying to replace it with some "democratized" hodgepodge, but with miniscule results.
I think it is futile to try to save marriage, and best it be officially abolished and children be manufactured and raised by the State or by corporations, ala "Brave New World."
Like communism, the feminist agenda will only bring down the West in the end. Indeed it is well on its way in succeeding after less than two generations of their destructive ideas.
PLEASE make sure you get your kid(s) to see a therapist if you are separating or divorcing; the kid(s) need it more than you know. The therapist can also give both parents some guidance about how to NOT make things worse for the child/children as you separate and learn to live apart. Keep the health and sanity of your child(ren) as your MAIN FOCUS!!
Who came up w/these percentages of communication for things like body language, & how did they calculate it? I tend to be skeptical of hard numbers for things that are so subject to interpretation (is that smile sincere? is that tone sarcastic?).
What about if you were in an abusive relationship? Should you still try to not speak badly about the ex, or does the kid have the right to know?
Again Jamie Floyd tries to do linguistics -- where did Julie A. Ross get those ridiculous figures that "body language is 55% of communication" and "tone of voice is 38% of communication"? Which leaves exactly 7% of communication to be handled by speech and any other modalities that happen to exist?
The word "Communicating" in the title of the book resonates a lot to me. During the counseling we attempted before our separation, and every moment since, it became painfully clear that we just communicated totally differently. Even after realizing this, the communication didn't get any better. Six months after the separation, the communication is ok on some levels, mostly as regards basic logistics (and mostly via text messages), but quite horrible on others (anything that doesn't fit in 160 characters).
I hope your guests specifically talk about how people who failed to communicate when they were married can hope to do so afterwards.
I am painfully looking forward to this segment.

I had to step away from the writing for a bit. It was stressing me out, and that doesn't make for fun reading. I am certain that I'll pick it back up again, but I had to go back to the thing that makes me whole; the thing that calms my nerves. I started thinking about code again. My recent tasks at work got me thinking about my own engine, and it's current state.

Writer's Block or Boredom?
I am a little upset with myself right now. I haven't written in the book for over two weeks and that gap is getting bigger each day. I try, diligently, to sit and write, but the words just don't come to me. It's upsetting because a part of me really wants to do this; to write this book. I have this gritty and torturous fantasy story to tell and I can't seem to take the effort to write it down. I think that the other half of me knows that I am writing because it is the only thing that I can do without the help of others. Completing this book is something that I've wanted to do, but a lot of my creative spirit seems to have run it's course over these past few years. I don't know if it has to do with the changes in my life, or the job I am at, or any number of other factors. It could very well be a little of all those things, but I look at the book right now and I don't feel inspired to write more. I have a story in my head, and something is fighting me, keeping me from putting it down on paper. My will, my motivation; they have been siphoned from me.
New Phone on the Horizon
Windows Mobile 7 devices might be coming out in time for Christmas this year. That's good news since my Blackberry has a huge crack on the screen. I've been wanting to upgrade to a newer smart phone, but I haven't been very excited about any of them. Apple can lick the bottom of my shoes, and only then I might think about an iPhone, but until that happens I am still looking for something to grab my attention. My interest has been peaked by the mention of XNA support for Windows 7 phones, so it could be the first phone that I actually bother to buy games for. I just hope that they deliver the phone on a service provider that has service.
Games, Govt, and Chronic Depression
There is something about this time of year that always depresses me. We are at the height of many things (in gaming) over the next few months. GDC, E3, Quake Con, and many other events that are filled with boundless information and jaw dropping news. It's even a time when many game developers are slowing down from their pre-holiday crunches and their blood pressure has lowered after hearing the good news of more work to come.
Impotent Rage!
The past couple days sure have been interesting. The internet was a-blaze with angry words across every forum, blog, and comment block available to an ear that might listen. The voices were screaming about how evil Activision is, and how they are killing creativity. They type, with furious tapping of the keys; "Down with Bobby, off with his head!"
TeraCopy FTW
I recently found myself backing up around 100GB of data. I originally attempted to simply copy the folders onto my external harddrive, but quickly discovered how incredibly broken the Windows copy system is. If Windows copy isn't taking 12 hours to copy, it's crashing and giving up on the first sign of failure. This usually forces you to have to start from the beginning because you don't know what files have been properly copied or which files are corrupted. Enter TeraCopy.
WARNING: Don't download from the creators homepage, it has a virus =(. This is a sad thing for such a great application. Instead, try to find it on a safer site that scans their files for viruses. I got mine from download.cnet.com.
I copied my content in a few minutes, not hours, and it never crapped out once. This is a must-have for anyone who deals with massive amounts of data transfers. One bad thing that I'd have to say about this freeware tool is that the interface is a little clunky and unorthodox, but it gets the job done.

Over the past year, a lot of people have been talking about "the 1%" versus "the 99%." But if you're concerned about one class exploiting another for economic gain, that's the wrong way to look at the problem.
See an EAGnews.org exclusive animation explaining the situation here.
The protesters are right about one thing: there are gross class inequities in America.
There is one class that works more hours per day, more days per year, for more years of their lives. They have less job security, they pay more for health coverage, and their retirements are not guaranteed. Their incomes are determined by their performance, limited by economic reality, and tied to the fortunes of their employers. This is the private-sector producer class.
Part of what private-sector workers produce is taken for the benefit of another class, the government class.
The government class plays by a different set of rules, dictated by unions and implemented by the politicians they help elect. For government union members, income is not determined by job performance, but by how many years they've managed to stick around. They'll work fewer hours, get more vacation time, and make more money than their producer class colleagues.
They'll get better health coverage, and it'll cost them less. The government class will retire at an earlier age and with a pension providing a guaranteed income, something fewer than 1 in 10 producer-class workers enjoy.
In Wisconsin, the government class makes up 14% of the population, exploiting the other 86%, the producer class.
The average Wisconsin state employee makes about $70,000 annually in salary and benefits, while the private-sector workers whose taxes pay for it earn about $15,000-a-year less. Talk about income disparity!
The government class is powerful because government employees are members of unions that contribute heavily to political campaigns. And in Wisconsin, no single group funnels more money into politics than teachers unions.
As the producer class struggled with a sluggish economy, Milwaukee public school teachers were rewarded for their political support by getting a 5% pay increase for the current school year.
Compared to the producer class, Milwaukee's teachers are getting a pretty sweet deal. When school is in session, teachers work almost 4 hours less each week than the standard private sector employee does. And instead of getting the usual two weeks off each year, Milwaukee teachers enjoy nearly 14 weeks vacation. All told, the typical producer-class employee works well over 600 hours a year more than the typical government school employee.

Castro speech scolds islanders for bad behavior AP 7/7/2013 11:57:53 PM (AP) Castro speech scolds islanders for bad behaviorBy PETER ORSIAssociated PressHAVANARaul Castro spent the lion's share of a prominent speech Sunday scolding his countrymen for all kinds of bad behavior, everything from corruption and theft to public urination and the odoriferous practice of raising pigs in cities.Speaking before legislators at one of parliament's twice-annual sessions, the Cuban president railed against decaying morals, a deteriorating sense of civic responsibility and vanishing values like honor, decency and decorum.Castro aired a laundry list of complaints about illegal activities that he said do the country harm: unauthorized home construction, illicit logging and slaughter of livestock and the acceptance of bribes, to name a few.He also fulminated against baser examples of "social indiscipline": shouting and swearing in the streets, public drinking and drunk driving, dumping trash on the roadside and even people who relieve themselves in parks.At times, the 82-year-old's speech sounded like a generational broadside against disrespectful youth who do as they please, a diatribe that could have crossed the lips of many a grandfather."When I meditate on these regrettable displays, it makes me think that despite the undeniable educational achievements made by the Revolution ... we have taken a step back in citizens' culture and public spirit," Castro said. "I have the bitter sensation that we are a society ever more educated, but not necessarily more enlightened."Other examples of bad behavior cited by Castro:_ People showing up late to work._ Graffiti and vandalizing of parks, monuments, trees and gardens._ Loud music that disturbs neighbors' sleep._ Raising pigs in cities despite the public health risk._ Scavenging metal from phone and electrical lines, sewers, signs and traffic lights._ Fare evasion on public transportation._ Failure to comply with school dress codes, and teachers who accept bribes for higher grades._ Lack of deference to the elderly, pregnant women, mothers with small children and the disabled._ Children throwing rocks at cars and trains."All this takes place right in front of our noses without inciting public condemnation and confrontation," Castro said."It is not acceptable to equate vulgarity with modernity, sloppiness and negligence with progress," he added. "Living in society entails, in the first place, accepting rules that preserve respect for decency and the rights of others."The Cuban leader also spoke of the corrosive effects of official corruption, quoting his elder brother Fidel as saying such activity poses a greater risk to the Cuban Revolution's success than any outside forces.Castro's biannual speech to parliament has sometimes been a moment to announce new initiatives, but Sunday's was short on specifics. Perhaps his most notable comment was a reiteration of the importance of doing away with Cuba's unique dual currency system.Most citizens get paid in Cuban pesos, while a second currency, the dollar-pegged convertible peso, is used in tourism and to purchase most imported goods.Castro told legislators that the Cuban economy is advancing "positively" even if those gains have yet to be felt by the average Cuban family.On Saturday, Economy Minister Adel Yzquierdo reported to the body that GDP growth for the year will likely be between 2.5 and 3 percent, short of a previous forecast of 3.5 percent.Castro also voiced support for Latin American allies' apparent willingness to grant NSA leaker Edward Snowden asylum, though he did not say whether Cuba itself would offer him refuge or safe passage.___Peter Orsi on Twitter: www.twitter.com/Peter_Orsi

There are two major problems in current cellulosic ethanol production process: low ethanol productivity and high enzyme loading. Based on the current Separate Hydrolysis and Fermentation (SHF) process, it takes at least 96h to perform enzymatic hydrolysis to convert AFEX-CS to fermentable sugars at 6% glucan loading. It will then take another 96-168h to ferment those sugars to ethanol. By simply integrating enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, which is SSCF (simultaneously saccharification and co-fermentation), it still requires at least 168h to reach comparable results as SHF. Here we will present a novel SHF process. In this process, the easily hydrolyzed part of biomass is hydrolyzed first to fermentable sugars in 24h. The hydrolysate was then separated from residue solids and fermented to ethanol in 24h using high yeast cell inoculation. The residual solids (difficultly hydrolyzed part of biomass (DHPB)), which bound enzymes, are then transferred to the next cycle of hydrolysis. This way, enzymes are largely reused and enzyme loadings in the next cycles can thus be reduced. The yeast cells after 24h fermentation are also recovered and reused for the next cycle of hydrolysate fermentation. The time for each cycle hydrolysis/fermentation is 24h/24h. After five cycles, the difficult hydrolyzed part is collected and enzymatic hydrolysis is performed without adding additional enzymes. Since enzymes are accumulated to a relatively high concentration and part of the decomposition products are removed with liquid during the five cycles, the hydrolysis of DHPB would be easier to achieve high sugar conversion. Profiles of enzyme recycled in each step were characterized.

"How does someone make an impact at work and in their community?"
That was one of the questions one participant asked at my recent speaking engagements in Kenya. I had talked about the importance of knowing one's strengths - not talents - that if applied consistently in any endeavor guarantee personal and professional growth as well as both tangible and intangible rewards.
Unforgiving passion: We are talking about the kind of passion that gets into your very being. You go to bed and wake up focused on that one thing. This is deep passion that is blind to one's talents and the availability of resources. It ignores reality. Ferdinand de Lesseps' passion to connect the Mediterranean with the Red Sea was not clouded by the fact that he was not an engineer or financier. Without him, the Suez Canal, the high-seas passage that reduced travel time to the Far East by months, would have remained just a dream.
Uncompromising discipline: Nothing bears intended results as well as constant efforts regardless of prevailing circumstances. The late Pope John Paul was known for a daily routine that started at 5:30 a.m., the time he woke up. It is said that by 6:15 a.m., he was in his private chapel meditating and praying, sometimes with more than 200 pages.
Uncommon creativity: This is the kind of creativity where you use an existing resource in such a way that people wonder why they had never thought about it in the first place. Think of Richard Turere, a 13-year-old Maasai boy in Kenya who invented a system of flashing lights to scare off lions from his family's livestock. In my book, "Overcoming Buffaloes at Work & in Life," I wrote about the Denver Zoo taking three pounds of animal manure, putting it in a small container, calling it "ZOOP" and then charging us $10 for it!
Unexpected productivity: The results of your efforts lead to wow! Kellen Moore speaks of an article he read when he played football as a quarterback in high school and was looking forward to opportunities to play in college. It was written by Mike Bellotti, the former head coach of the University of Oregon football team, on the important physical attributes and skills he looked for when recruiting quarterbacks.
Moore said he had none of the listed characteristics. But his focus and desire to play college football was not diminished by what he could not control. Moore could do nothing to change his height and all the other attributes stipulated by Coach Bellotti.
Moore focused on what he could control: being the best quarterback by using what he had. He became the most successful quarterback in the history of American college football.
Undiscriminating network: The point is, you never know who has the solution to your challenges. Again, treat everybody the way you would treat your multibillionaire maternal uncle, who has no heir, is about to die and whose riches you want. The person sitting next to you can enrich your life beyond your wildest dreams. Respect him or her, learn who they are, learn what his or her aspirations are, and learn how they got to where they are.
One must wake up looking forward to doing something without focusing on limited resources or conditions beyond one's control. Your success mostly depends on how you master the above.

In its first of a series of hearings to address the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR), the House Energy & Commerce Committee held a hearing May 5, entitled "The Need to Move Beyond the SGR." Information regarding the Hearing, including the list of witnesses who testified and their corresponding testimony, can be accessed on the Committee's Web site.
Prior to the start of the series of hearings, ASH submitted comments to the House Energy and Commerce Committee in response to the Committee's request for proposals to reform the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) system. In its comments, ASH expressed its concern that continual threats to reductions to the conversion factor need to be eliminated and recommended that Congress take the following steps:
In addition to the letter, ASH's Committee on Practice met with Congressional offices during its recent Hill Day to share the Society's concerns and recommendations regarding the SGR. Congress must pass legislation by December 31, 2011 to avert a scheduled physician payment cut of 29 percent caused by the SGR. ASH will keep members apprised of information about the remaining SGR hearings and the Society's related advocacy activities.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Despite an expanding body of evidence linking brain damage to violent collisions on the football field, Bob Stein can still indulge in a little gallows humor. "The good news," he said, "is that I can't remember how many concussions I had."
The attorney and former Minnesota Timberwolves president spent eight years knocking heads as an NFL linebacker. One injury he does recall -- just barely -- happened in 1971, when his Kansas City teammate Willie Lanier tried to stop O.J. Simpson on a kickoff return by swinging a fist at him. Lanier missed and hit Stein instead, knocking him unconscious.
A doctor examined Stein on the sideline and told him he might have a concussion. As was the custom at the time, he asked if Stein wanted to return to the game; as was the custom, Stein said yes. He had no idea he had a skull fracture until 15 years later, when a sinus infection slipped through the break and morphed into a near-fatal case of spinal meningitis.
Stein knows he could well be blindsided again in another 15 years. The Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University announced last week that a 10th NFL retiree had been diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The degenerative brain disease causes such symptoms as memory impairment, emotional instability and erratic behavior as it grows into full-blown dementia.
A week earlier, CTE also was diagnosed in a former college player who died at age 42, marking the first time the illness has been found in a player who did not go on to a pro career. The disease, which can only be diagnosed postmortem, has been found in all 11 football players whose brains have been examined at BU. Yet the NFL continues to deny, ignore or downplay such studies, even as Stein sees the mounting toll.
"I don't know if anyone gets out unscathed," said Stein, a Gophers All-America who won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs in 1969. "There is a trail of broken bodies littering the landscape of the NFL, and it's the guys who built the league. And the league is ducking its head in the sand. It should take some accountability and responsibility, but so far, the answer is no."
In recent weeks, though, the NFL has faced growing pressure to own up to the game's dangers and implement reforms. A "60 Minutes" report last month showed images of the brain of former Viking Wally Hilgenberg, who died last year of Lou Gehrig's disease. The slides revealed blotches caused by the buildup of tau, a toxic protein which indicates brain trauma.
PBS' "NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" illustrated the issue last week through a visit with Hall of Famer John Mackey, who suffers from advanced dementia at age 68. An article in the Oct. 19 New Yorker magazine explained how the damage builds, even through hits of lesser force, and the culture that leads players to shrug off symptoms despite greater knowledge of the consequences.
The concern has reached as far as Washington, where the House Judiciary Committee held hearings last week to discuss the matter. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell did not acknowledge a connection between CTE and head trauma incurred in football, a predictable response given the league's consistent rebuff of all independent research. The NFL even criticized a recent study it commissioned, which indicated that former players 50 and older suffer from dementia and related illnesses at a much higher rate than the general population.
The increased public awareness isn't likely to affect the bottom line of America's most popular sport, which pulled in $7 billion in revenues last year. But it should make us ponder the human cost. After years of seeing the devastation wrought on his NFL brethren, Stein filed a federal class-action lawsuit last August on behalf of fellow league retirees, seeking a share of the revenues the NFL makes from using the images of those former players to promote itself.
The league, he said, owes at least that much to the men who sacrificed their health to the game. It could fully repay the debt by acknowledging the true price the sport exacted from them.
"Wally Hilgenberg told me that in one game, he had a collision and lost sight in one eye, and he continued playing," Stein said. "I don't remember a player ever missing a game because of a concussion. Now we're learning what the residual effects are."

2008 NFL Playoffs - First Round Predictions
The 2008 NFL playoffs begin this weekend, with two games set for Saturday and the other two games to be played on Sunday. Besides the eight teams in action, the teams with the bye weeks are the Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants and Carolina Panthers. Here are the predictions for the first round of the postseason:
Is the Donovan McNabb Era Over?
Donovan McNabb has had a lot of ups and a lot of downs in his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles. He's been an All-Pro quarterback who has led his team to the Super Bowl, however he's also been a streaky quarterback who has had issues with injuries. Through it all, Eagles coach Andy Reid has been by McNabb's side. That is, until this Sunday.

That was all a very long time ago though, but it's very interesting to see members who I'd known when I'd left, who seem to still be very active, a few of whom been promoted to Moderators it seems, you go guys!
Anyway, it's lovely to see the community is still thriving and going strong, especially since I've been inactive for a little over two years, really warms my heart.

Mohnish Pabrai: swinging for the fences again?
In his brief book, "The Dhando Investor," hedge fund manager Mohnish Pabrai devoted a chapter to the Kelly formula before concluding that, rather than follow it exactly, he was motivated by it to aim for a 10x10 portfolio (ten positions each comprising 10% of his portfolio). According to notes on his 2009 investor meeting, Pabrai moved further away from the Kelly formula, to a 3-5-10 set up, where he would only allocate 3% or 5% to most positions, and only occasionally allocate 10% to one idea under extraordinary circumstances. Remembering that, I was surprised to see the position weightings of Pabrai's top 7 holdings, as reported by Lalit Sharma in a recent article ("Mohnish Pabrai's Top 7 Holdings"), which showed 18.72% of Pabrai's holdings are invested in Bank of America (BAC) now. Perhaps Pabrai has gone back to swinging for the fences with a concentrated portfolio?
Hedging Pabrai's top 6 stocks
Pabrai's seventh biggest holding, the South American agricultural company Cresud Inc. (CRESY) doesn't have options traded on it in the U.S., so it can't be hedged with optimal puts. The table below shows the costs, as of Friday's close, of hedging the 6 biggest holdings against greater-than-20% declines, using optimal puts.
A Comparison
For comparison purposes, we'll also look at the cost of hedging the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA) against the same decline. First, a reminder about what optimal puts are, and a note about the 20% as decline threshold. Then, a screen capture showing the optimal puts to hedge one of these six stocks, Bank of America Corporation (BAC).
About Optimal Puts
Optimal puts are the ones that will give you the level of protection you want at the lowest possible cost. Portfolio Armor uses an algorithm developed by a finance Ph.D. to sort through and analyze all of the available puts for your position, scanning for the optimal ones.
Decline Thresholds
In this context, "threshold" is the maximum decline you are willing to risk. Another way of thinking about it is this: the percentage you can tolerate losing. In this case, since we're using 20% as a decline threshold, we are indicating that we could tolerate a 20% loss, but not a loss greater than that. You can enter any percentage you like for a decline threshold when scanning for optimal puts (the higher the percentage though, the greater the chance you will find optimal puts for your position). In the example below, you'll see that hedging BAC against a 20% drop costs nearly that much, as a percentage of position.
The Optimal Puts to Hedge Bank of America
Below is a screen capture showing the optimal put option contract to hedge 100 shares of BAC against a greater than 20% decline as of Friday's close. A note about these optimal put options and their cost: To be conservative, Portfolio Armor calculated the cost based on the ask price of the optimal puts. In practice an investor can often purchase puts for a lower price, i.e., some price between the bid and the ask.
Hedging Costs As Of Friday's Close
The hedging costs below are presented as percentages of position values. Note that some of these names are quite expensive to hedge. Another risk management approach to consider is to use diversification to minimize stock-specific risk, and then use optimal puts on an index-tracking ETF such as SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) to hedge against market risk.
Symbol | Name | Hedging Cost |
BAC | Bank of America Corporation | 19.2%* |
BIP | Brookfield Infrastructure Properties | 5.97%** |
POT | Potash Corp of Saskatchewan | 9.08%** |
Wells Fargo & Company | 8.36%*** | |
CSE | Capitalsource Inc. | 16.0%*** |
*Based on optimal puts expiring in May, 2012
**Based on optimal puts expiring in June, 2012
***Based on optimal puts expiring in July, 2012

User Review: Hilleberg Nallo 2
Design: four season tunnel
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Very user friendly even in difficult conditions
Weight: five pounds
Price Paid: US $425
Where do you want to be if you're exposed in nasty weather? Try a Nallo 2.
After using this tent in varied conditions for about half a year, I'm ready to offer another glowing report on Hilleberg tents, following my experience with the one-person Akto.
The Nallo 2 offers superlative, total weather protection in extremely wet, temperate alpine environments, plus the convenience of a small packed size and a voluminous interior for two at a relatively low weight. Trail weight is 4 lbs. 15 ounces (round it off to an even five pounds for convenience), including 9 stakes, and modifications (see below).
This is a weatherproof tent. The fly is extremely strong and completely impervious to high winds and torrential, tropical rain (see my review on the Akto). When set up with a taut pitch (demands using the guylines and the stake out points), the Nallo will probably withstand whatever blows its way. Really. The first time I tried it was at 3,000 feet during a highly destructive typhoon (I know, it's not the smartest thing to do, but I couldn't resist!). The place I pitched was exposed, but the ground surface was pretty ideal soil for setting stakes deep and solid. The Nallo shuddered in the violent gusts that sent branches and other debris whizzing laterally, yes laterally, through the air, but the fly remained immobile, no visible wear on the seams, and no sense that the tent was about to slant over or get flattened. Probably more remarkable than that is the fact that the Nallo's tunnel design seems to facilitate set up in even the most difficult conditions. The Nallo also shrugged off the wet, sleety snow that falls in winter on the Alpine regions of Taiwan, but you occasionally have to shake off the sloping foot area of the rear of the tent which extends beyond the tunnel area of the two pole hoops.
The Nallo is a true tunnel tent. Both hoops of the tunnel are at the same height. This means that the interior of the tent feels much more spacious than the simple floor area figure would indicate. Most US-made tents have a larger floor space, but they don't necessarily feel as spacious within. The Nallo is the kind of tent that deserves to be tested for total interior volume rather than just floor area. This means that two people can sit together at the front of the tent, or one can sit near the rear pole of the tent while another sits at the front. Four people could drink tea and play cards inside.
In an effort to cut weight, Hilleberg took off the rear vent. There is only one vent on the front of the fly, not quite at the top. It lets in oxygen but will not prevent condensation on the full-coverage fly. In freezing temperatures, this produced morning frost on the inside of the fly. As with the Akto, I found that the inner fabric is breathable and impermeable to water. Hence, the condensation on the fly isn't an issue. I have seen postings about condensation in the inner of Hilleberg tents, yet I have never experienced this. What's up? I don't know, but perhaps the key is not to seal up the inner completely. If you do, it tends to get stuffy, and I imagine in various combinations of humidity and temperature (particularly if you have a lot of wet gear inside the tent) this will produce condensation inside the inner. I always keep the inner slightly open, but it does mean that in colder times some precious internal heat gets lost. The triple zip sliders give you numerous options in this regard. Ditto for the front door on the fly, which can be opened on either side of the vestibule in order to escape the wind and let in air. Additional ventilation could be produced by pulling out the tail of the fly or buy propping it up with sticks, but I never found the condensation bothersome, so it was unnecessary.
The exoskeleton design (poles in the fly) is a huge advantage allowing for great flexibility. In the first place, it allows for quick set up and protects the inner from moisture when setting up in a heavy rain. Second, the inner is attached to the poled fly by clips that easily undo. This allows one to create extra temporary space in the vestibule—great for cooking in the vestibule in foul weather or for shaking off snow and rain upon entering the vestibule from outside. Finally, this configuration also allows you to leave the inner at home for a very secure poled tarp for two set up that weighs around 3 lbs 5 oz.
The Nallo packs down to a very compact size, 6" x 15", the smallest I've seen for any tent with its amenities.
In my experience, the Nallo shines particularly in temperate climates with near-freezing temps and extended, extreme wetness. For the soggy alpine areas of Taiwan, it seems like the perfect tent. I haven't yet used it in temperatures warm enough to warrant using the inner alone (with four separate, optional pole holders that add about 1-2 ounces), but it will probably be equally adept at adapting to that. It is certainly robust enough to handle severe winter weather, but the condensation on the fly will freeze up. Perhaps the ideal combination would be to have a single wall tent for deep winter outings and use the Nallo for three season ventures--or else go with a Hilleberg Nammatj 2 for the ultimate all-season double wall abode. I have noticed another post on this site by someone else who uses the Nallo in winter (with the heavier poles) and has excellent results.
I replaced the metal zipper pulls and the attached guylines with triptease lightline. I assume this is why the trail weight of the tent is slightly lower than the manufacturer's gross weight.
Similar Products Tried:
There are many hoop and tunnel tents, but none that I have seen boasts the strength, durability, amenities and light weight of the Nallo. Don't let the non-freestanding design put you off! Once you get over the mental obstacle, it's second nature--plus, it's ALWAYS a good idea to stake ANY tent down.
Customer Service:
Repairs to another Hilleberg tent caused by sewing modification ineptitude were smoothed out with no problem. Hilleberg has a standard of craftsmanship, service and integrity that has to be a model for the industry.

He weaves a blend of gentle wit and humor into his performances, reflecting with the same ease his feelings about the prairie people of the Midwest or the adventurer of the Yukon, the on-the-road truckers or the everyday workers that make up this land. ...

"The Blind Side"
The movie starts with Leigh Anne Touhy played by Sandra Bullock Helping out a young teenage boy, named Michael who wasn't living under a very good environment. Michael is homeless. Leigh Anne felt that a child shouldn't live under such conditions. And Leigh Anne wanted to show Michael a better life. The whole message to the movie shows in interaction with a woman (Leigh Anne), who is willing to help an individual, who she sees is not living in a suitable environment. Leigh Anne, shows concern, and expresses a social relationship with Michael from the very beginning of the movie that is phenomenal. It is then safe to say that the movie though purely intent on emotional significance, also has relational dimension. Prejudice on the topic on racism was indeed slightly touched by the movie as well when Leigh Anne Touhy's socialite friends sarcastically praised her (Leigh Anne) on her charitable action but at the same time, warned her of the possibility that her daughter may be violated by Michael .Leigh Anne brushed this off and her family's acceptance and love as a major topic and regarded the racism issue as something that is unavoidable in an inter-racial or inter-class setting. Leigh Anne's significant other Sean (Tim McGraw) shows moral support, concern and wiliness for his wife decision to take in Michael together they both love and show eagerness to see Michael achieve.
The Halo Effect in this movie. Is to form a positive impression one that Leigh Anne played by (Sandra Bullock. We as individuals tend to hold on to first impressions of a person the Touhy family acceptance is a major virtue preached by selfness concern and love. Never once thinking about charity but believing that they can make a difference in Michael life all in which took place in this phenomenal movie. Achievement culture showed a tremendous role in this movie as... [continues]

Serleena / Men in Black II / Lara Flynn Boyle
Serleena, played by Lara Flynn Boyle, provides the eye candy in Men in Black II, opposite Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. When it comes to being evil, she has the right idea: black lingerie, cleavage, a bangin' body, and red lipstick.Wait -- that's not evil? Who cares? Her fingers turn into snakes? We can look past that, too. The only problem with Serleena is her annoying sidekick(s) Charlie and Scrad. A human-alien hybrid played by Johnny Knoxville. But even we can't blame him for the two-head thing while hanging out with Serleena.

Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
The soup was delicious! Grumpy cleaned his bowl right up. The only thing that would have made the meal any better would have been if I had it in me to make one of Jessie's rib recipes to go with. Jessie is great at making meals with meat (where I am not!) Grumpy would probably prefer to eat at her home every night! I was serving this with no meat and I heard "I would like some meat to go with that". lol. I wanted to throw a hotdog at him and tell him to have at it. he he. But I didn't. I know, I'm such a saint ;) Instead I seared him some minute steaks with a little of the amazing taste seasoning to keep him quiet. After all, he did spend a good hour and half outside snow blowing the driveway....guess he deserved some meat with his soup.
27 comments:
Love the soup! But I have something more important to attend to..do you live near Alfred University and Alfred State???
Because the only Almond,NY I know of is near that..if so I live in Bath, NY...WOW we are so close! I thought no one else in Western, NY had taste buds I am so glad I was wrong!
Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
We have a lot of snow coming!
ChristineYour soup looks wonderful! I have a couple of butternuts...maybe I'll make this soup tomorrow night. But if Grouchy asks for meat, I WILL throw a hot dog @ him. ;o)
I am for sure baking the eggnog thumbprints you posted today. If I don't bake anything at all this season (& I haven't yet!) it'll be those.
Sorry about your fall. How is your arm now?And he'll be outside again today snowblowing the driveway. Stinkin' storms!
Did you ever try making butternut squash bread? I told my older kids it was pumpkin bread, because they won't eat something named "squash", and 2 of the boys demolished it in about 2 hours. Butternut squash is such a wonderful ingredient!Well, by golly! I've just earned you as a follower and I am TICKLED! Mostly because....YUMMMMMarooni. You're blog rocks my socks off. You and I should be suga sisters and bake into the late eves every night!
I'm tickled to have you along and can't wait to try out your goodies!
Happy Hollydays!

Paraphrase Michael Drayton's sonnet "Love's Farewell."
Topic: Michael Drayton
Paraphrase Michael Drayton's sonnet "Love's Farewell."
1 Answer | add yours
Best answer as selected by question asker.
Michael Drayton's sonnet "Love's Farewell," deals with the theme of reconcilement between two lovers who are at the brink of breaking up and parting forever, but at the last moment they decide to make up and continue as lovers.
the first eight lines, (the octave) emphasise the idea that nothing more can be done to revive the love between them both and that all that they can now do is to "shake hands forever, cancel all our vows."
In the next four lines, Drayton compares their love to a person on his deathbed who is about to breathe his last: "the last gasp of Love's latest breath."
In the concluding couplet, (the gemmel) Drayton reverses the entire situation by making an earnest and sincere plea to his lover that it is still possible to revive the almost dead love between them both and thus continue to be lovers forever: "now if thou wouldst, when all have given him over/From death to life thou mightst him yet recover!"
The poem deals with two lovers who quarrel because of their capricious nature and decide to be reconciled no sooner than they had decided to part ways forever.

I have the deluded idea that i want to be a bicylce courier in dublin and i think im goin to have to learn the hard way that this job isn't for me. so does anyone know if theres any work goin anywhere. i threw off a few emails to companies i found on the net but no dice. Cheers - G
a bike courier crashed on merrion row at lunchtime today. someone opened a truck door in front of him, then he smacked into a car. ouch.
Call one, then lock them in the closet and steal their shorts, shades and bag. Hey presto! You're a courier. Oh, very important, don't forget - you're really, really cool.
check in the back of the herald,any jobs going will be in that....otherwise go to stephens green/baggot street where they hang out and ask.... didnt think id be able for it myself but ended up doing the best part of five years so take hope
I dream about bicycle couriers colliding head on with chuggerz. One of those be-tattooed bicycle couriers with a big nose & paddy cap went by me at the top of kildare street yesterday morning, i was part of a decent sized crowd waiting to cross the road so he did a 1 or 2 second wheelie for us with a horrible faux 'i'm totally relaxed' smug expression.
Contemplated currying a few years ago but went freelance instead. I bought a new mountain bike yesterday
errand boy on wheels although i wouldnt' mind being a newsie extra extra, everyone gather around and take turns eating out my asshole
yeah whats the deal with that, why do most cycle couriers appear to be of the crusty etnicity? surely all that sweating and not washing doesn't mix so well. or maybe it speeds up the dreadlock process. spose the dreads would act as a natural helmet
i got one last week. rapid buzz. what did ya get for yerself? did ya splash out? i got a kona hahanna. love her to bits
sweet. i couldnt afford anything of that range. got mine for 450 which is fair enough. well , happy cycling!
