By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch
LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- OK, so Dilbert didn't win the Nobel Prize in economics this year. There's always next year, right? Or perhaps a parallel universe? You may wonder whether Dilbert and his creator, cartoonist Scott Adams, have any chance, but since the Nobel committee's records are sealed for 50 years our imagination runs free.
We know creativity and science share much in common. Both science and art begin with what-ifs, unproven ideas about unknown realities, dreams of the future before it unfolds. And often all it takes is a small, simple "key" such as "E=mc2" to unlock the door.
In fact, we saw proof last week as Nobel prizes were awarded for simple dreams unlocking great truths: in physics, revelations about cosmic radiation before the Big Bang; in medicine, the genetic flow of information; in chemistry, cell production of proteins.
This year, we were rooting for Adams. His simple formula reminds us of how, after being awarded the Nobel Prize, Albert Einstein spent his entire life searching for the "Unified Theory of Everything." It eluded him. Adams, on the other hand, did discover a "Unified Theory of Everything Financial," which deserves a prize.
Adams' formula was originally published in "Dilbert and the Way of the Weasels" at virtually the same time Princeton psychologist Daniel Kahneman was awarded the 2002 Nobel Prize. You will recall that Kahneman destroyed Wall Street's historic theory of the "rational investor." Dilbert made a complementary discovery, defining a weasel as "anyone trying to get away with something," thus explaining two centuries of psychological behavior on Wall Street where weasels have been misleading Americans with the false theory that investors are rational.
'Unified Theory of Everything Financial'
Quietly hidden in Adams' groundbreaking work is a financial formula so simple it rivals Einstein's E=mc2. In its original form Adams' formula was apparently so heretical and so explosive that no major house would touch it when he proposed publishing it as a one-page book. After initial rejections, he announced sadly that "if God materialized on earth and wrote the secret of the universe on one page, he wouldn't be able to find a publisher" either.
Fortunately for America's 95 million investors, Adams' secret nine-point formula was finally revealed in "Dilbert and the Way of the Weasels." Notice its simple brilliance in the exact reproduction of his formula:
Make a will
Pay off your credit cards
Get term life insurance if you have a family to support
Fund your 401k to the maximum
Fund your IRA to the maximum
Buy a house if you want to live in a house and can afford it
Put six months worth of expenses in a money-market account
Take whatever money is left over and invest 70% in a stock index fund and 30% in a bond fund through any discount broker and never touch it until retirement

Gun bill is heavy on pretense
Maybe some advocates of the bipartisan gun-control legislation announced Monday by legislative leaders really believe it has relevance to the Dec. 14 atrocity at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
Certainly such an atrocity calls out a need to honor its victims by giving it some meaning, and certainly with their overwrought vehemence, some elected officials, like Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Senate President Donald Williams, have been trying very hard to believe or at least to seem to believe.

7) Colt Lyerla -TE Oregon
I stopped reading after this^^^I don't pretend to understand the staggering numbers that were in linebacker James Harrison's contract or the impact they had on the Steelers' fragile salary-cap situation.
Cap casualty, let's move on please
It was a must for the organization to move forward. The release of Colon and the restructuring of Woodley should help clean up more cap space. We all loved James and all but it was time to move on. Worilds played well in limited time last season and I expect him to step up nicely. Looking forward to the future.
I think its time for Worlids to step up...He is a Rd 2 pick playing in NFL for 4 years now. Anyways its not like Jason is replacing DPOY. He needs to produce more than 6 sacks to do better than James. With more playing time he should get double digit sacks.
Jams Harrison was one of my fave Steelers player but his production last season was nothing to write home about. Jason Worlids should be able replicate that and more.
Steelers Draft
Rd 1: Mike Evans - WR
Rd 2: Kyle Van Noy - ILB/OLB
Rd 3c: Philip Gaines - CB
Rd 4: Taylor Hart - DE
Rd 5: Justin Ellis - DT
Rd 5c:Xavier Grimble -TE
People are missing the point. The STEELERS didn't move on.
James Harrison did.
Why give the Steelers credit? If HARRISON accepted the 30% cut but chance to earn it back offer (if true) what would the same people who are "praising" the Steelesr be saying then?
You hit the nail on the head. Harrison has been below his standard for two straight seasons. In limited time Worilds had one less sack that Harrison did. Harrison's performance the past two seasons was far below his hype and "legend." If Woodley gets his fat azz back to where he is a consistent double digit sack threat then we will be just fine.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!

Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage It's been 25 years since Lionel Richie wrote "We Are the World" with Michael Jackson to help end hunger in Africa. With producer Quincy Jones on board, musicians like Stevie Wonder , Kenny Rogers , Tina Turner , Billy Joel , Diana Ross, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen were eager to lend their talent to the cause. The single skyrocketed to the top of the charts, won four Grammys and raised millions to help those in need.
After the devastating Haiti earthquake , Lionel and Quincy decided it was time to bring back "We Are the World." More than 80 of the world's most talented singers joined the project—including Tony Bennett , Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion , Justin Bieber, The Jonas Brothers , Pink , Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Jay-Z , Jennifer Nettles , Jennifer Hudson and Lady Gaga . "I've never seen so much excitement—Tony Bennett, Snoop Dog talking to each other. Lil Wayne, Barbra Streisand talking to each other," Lionel says. "Everyone stepped up, and it's beautiful." |

Best Screenplay 1998: Good Will Hunting |
This article is part of a series on Matt Damon |
Matthew Paige "Matt" Damon (/ˈdeɪmən/; born October 8, 1970) is an American actor, voice actor, screenwriter, producer, and philanthropist whose career was launched following the success of the drama film Good Will Hunting (1997) from a screenplay he co-wrote with friend and actor Ben Affleck. The pair won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay for their work. For his performance in the film, Damon received nominations for the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Satellite Award, and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor.
Damon has since starred in commercially successful films such as Saving Private Ryan (1998), the Ocean's trilogy, and the first three films in the Bourne series, while also gaining critical acclaim for his performances in dramas such as Syriana (2005), The Good Shepherd (2006), and The Departed (2006). He garnered a Golden Globe nomination for portraying the title character in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Francois Pienaar in Invictus (2009). He is one of the top-40 highest-grossing actors of all time. In 2007, Damon received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was named Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine. Damon has been actively involved in charitable work, including the ONE Campaign, H2O Africa Foundation, and Water.org.
Early life
Matt Damon was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the son of Kent Telfer Damon, a stockbroker, and Nancy Carlsson-Paige, an early childhood education professor at Lesley University.[4][5] His father is of Scottish and English ancestry, while his mother is of Finnish and Swedish descent.[6] His brother Kyle is an accomplished sculptor and artist.[5][7]
Damon and his family moved to Newton and lived there for two years. After his parents divorced, Damon and his brother moved with their mother back to Cambridge,[5][8] where they lived in a six-family communal house.[9][10]
Damon grew up near actor Ben Affleck, a close friend since childhood and collaborator on several films (Damon is Affleck's tenth cousin, once removed, through a common New England ancestor).[11] Another neighbor of Damon's was historian and author Howard Zinn,[12] whose biographical film You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train and audio version of A People's History of the United States Damon later narrated.[10]
Damon took to role-playing as a child partly because his mother raised him "by the book",[9] which made him feel as though "you couldn't define yourself, because you already had been defined by her".[9] He attended Cambridge Alternative School (now Graham and Parks) and then Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, where he was a disciplined student[13] but had a "terrifying" first two years due to his short height at the time.[14] As a lonely adolescent, Damon has described feeling "such pain in wanting to belong somewhere and not belonging".[9] Damon performed as an actor in several high school theater productions;[5] he has credited his drama teacher at Rindge and Latin, Gerry Speca, as an important artistic influence, even though Damon recalls that, "Mr. Speca always seemed to trust Ben [Affleck] with the biggest roles and longest speeches".[13]
Damon attended Harvard University from 1988 to 1992, but did not graduate. He lived in Matthews Hall and then Lowell House,[15] leaving the university 12 credits shy of completion of his Bachelor of Arts in English to feature in Geronimo.[16][17] While at Harvard, he took part in student theater,[17] appearing in plays such as Burn This in Winthrop House and A... My Name is Alice (in one of the three male roles usually performed by women).[18] Damon dropped out of the university to pursue his acting career in Los Angeles because he mistakenly expected Geronimo: An American Legend to become a big success.[19] "By the time I figured out I had made the wrong decision, it was too late. I was living out here with a bunch of actors, and we were all scrambling to make ends meet", Damon has said.[20]
Acting career
Early years
Damon made his acting debut in 1988 at the age of 18, with a single line of dialogue in the romantic comedy Mystic Pizza.[21] As a student at Harvard University, he continued to pursue acting and performed small roles in projects such as the TNT original film Rising Son and the ensemble prep-school drama School Ties.[22] In 1992, he landed a big part in Geronimo: An American Legend with Gene Hackman and Jason Patric.[22] In 1996, he auditioned for a small role in Cutthroat Island, but was turned away.[23] Damon next appeared as an opiate-addicted soldier in 1996's Courage Under Fire. He was required to lose 40 pounds (18 kg) in 100 days (for only two days of filming).[24][25] After following a self-prescribed diet and fitness regimen to lose the weight, Damon was told after filming that he was fortunate his heart did not shrink. He took medication for a year and a half afterwards to correct the stress inflicted on his adrenal gland. Courage Under Fire gained him some critical notice, as The Washington Post labeled his performance "impressive";[26] Damon has stated that it was worthwhile to risk his health in order to properly portray his character and show the industry how committed he was to his work as an actor.[21][25]
During the early 1990s, Damon and Affleck wrote a screenplay about a young math genius, which they then pitched around Hollywood for a long time. Receiving advice from director Rob Reiner, screenwriter William Goldman, and their friend writer/director Kevin Smith, the two made changes to the script.[19] It eventually became Good Will Hunting (1997) and received nine Academy Awards nominations, earning Damon and Affleck Oscars for Best Original Screenplay.[27][28] Damon was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for the same film, which also netted an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for co-star Robin Williams.[27] He and Affleck were each paid salaries of $600,000, while the film grossed over $225 million at the worldwide box office.[29][30] The two later parodied their roles from the film in Kevin Smith's 2001 movie Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Also in 1997, Damon was the lead in the critically acclaimed drama The Rainmaker, where he was recognized by the Los Angeles Times as "a talented young actor on the brink of stardom."[31] After meeting Damon on the set of Good Will Hunting, director Steven Spielberg cast Damon as the titular character in the 1998 World War II film Saving Private Ryan.[19]
Hollywood star
Damon has become known for choosing a wide variety of film roles,[32] from his portrayal of Patricia Highsmith's anti-hero Tom Ripley in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)[21] to a fallen angel who discusses pop culture as intellectual subject matter with Affleck in Dogma (1999); from a conjoined twin in Stuck on You (2003), which got a mixed critical reception,[33] to the low-budget experimental film Gerry (2002), which he co-wrote with Casey Affleck and Gus Van Sant. Damon garnered generally positive critical reaction for his Golden Globe-nominated[34] portrayal of Ripley, with Variety stating, "Damon outstandingly conveys his character's slide from innocent enthusiasm into cold calculation".[35]
Damon's attempts at essaying leading characters in romantic dramas such as 2000's All the Pretty Horses and The Legend of Bagger Vance were commercially and critically unsuccessful.[29] Variety said of his work in All the Pretty Horses: "[Damon] just doesn't quite seem like a young man who's spent his life amidst the dust and dung of a Texas cattle ranch. Nor does he strike any sparks with [Penelope] Cruz."[36] He was similarly deemed "uncomfortable being the center" of Robert Redford's The Legend of Bagger Vance.[37]
From 2001 to 2007, Damon gained wider international recognition as part of two major film franchises. He co-starred as thief Linus Caldwell, alongside George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Julia Roberts, in Steven Soderbergh's 2001 film Ocean's Eleven, a remake of the Rat Pack's 1960 caper film of the same name; the successful crime dramedy spawned two sequels, Ocean's Twelve (2004) and Ocean's Thirteen (2007).[21] He played amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne in the hit action thrillers The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).[21] Entertainment Weekly placed Damon as an "action star" on its end-of-the-decade "best-of" list, saying, "When he first signed on as the ass-kicking amnesiac Jason Bourne in 2002, no one would've predicted that Damon would become the decade's best mixer of brawn and brains. Shows what we know."[38] In August 2007, financial magazine Forbes created a list of actors who generated the best box-office performance related to their salaries; the list placed Damon as the most bankable star of the actors reviewed, revealing that Damon had averaged 29 US dollars at the box office for every dollar he earned for his last three films.[39][40]
Damon played a fictionalized version of Wilhelm Grimm in Terry Gilliam's fantasy adventure The Brothers Grimm (2005), which was a critically panned commercial failure;[29] The Washington Post concluded, "Damon, constantly flashing his newscaster's teeth and flaunting a fake, 'Masterpiece Theatre' dialect, comes across like someone who got lost on the way to an audition for a high school production of 'The Pirates of Penzance.'"[41] Later that year, he appeared as an energy analyst in Syriana.[42] In 2006, Damon joined Robert De Niro in The Good Shepherd as a career CIA officer, and played an undercover mobster working for the Massachusetts State Police in Martin Scorsese's The Departed, a remake of the Hong Kong police thriller Infernal Affairs.[21] Assessing his work in the two films, Manohla Dargis of The New York Times wrote that Damon "does what few stars with his kind of billing do: he disappears".[32] The Departed was a success amongst critics and audiences alike.[29][43]
Damon had an uncredited cameo in Francis Ford Coppola's Youth Without Youth (2007) and another cameo in the 2008 Che Guevara biopic Che. He lent his voice to the English version of the animated film Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, which was released in the United States in August 2009.[44] He also made a guest appearance in 2009 on the sixth season finale of Entourage as himself, where he tries to pressure Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) into donating to his charity OneXOne—a real foundation for which Damon is an ambassador—and gets increasingly irritated when Chase does not seem to comply.[45][46]
Damon next appeared in Steven Soderbergh's dark comedy The Informant! (2009),[47] in which his Golden Globe-nominated work was described by Entertainment Weekly as such: "The star – who has quietly and steadily turned into a great Everyman actor – is in nimble control as he reveals his character's deep crazies."[48] Also in 2009, Damon portrayed South Africa national rugby union team captain François Pienaar in the Clint Eastwood-directed film Invictus, which is based on the 2008 John Carlin book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed a Nation and features Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela.[49] Invictus earned Damon an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. The New Republic observed, "It is not a demanding role, but the ever-more-actorly Damon brings it off with low-key charm and integrity."[50]
In 2010, he reteamed with director Paul Greengrass, who directed him in the Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum, for the action thriller Green Zone, which flopped commercially[51] and received ambivalent reception from critics.[52] In motion pictures that feature him either as a leading actor or as a supporting co-star, his films have grossed a total of $1.94[53] to $2.42 billion[54] (based on counting his roles as strictly lead or including supporting roles, respectively) at the North American box office, placing him in the top forty grossing actors of all time.
He has appeared as a guest star in an episode of Arthur, titled "The Making of Arthur", as himself.[55] During Season 5 of 30 Rock, he appeared as guest star in the role of Liz Lemon's boyfriend in the episodes "I Do Do", "The Fabian Strategy", "Live Show", and "Double Edged Sword". Damon's 2010 projects included Clint Eastwood's Hereafter and the Coen Brothers' remake of the 1969 John Wayne-starring Western True Grit; the latter movie started filming in March 2010 and was released in December of that year.[56]
In 2011, he starred in The Adjustment Bureau, Contagion, We Bought a Zoo, and voiced a krill in Happy Feet Two. In April 2012, Damon filmed Promised Land, directed by Gus Van Sant, which he co-wrote with John Krasinski.[57][58][59] Damon's next film with frequent collaborator Steven Soderbergh is Behind the Candelabra, a drama about the life of pianist/entertainer Liberace (played by Michael Douglas) with Damon playing Liberace's longtime partner Scott Thorson. The film premiered on HBO on May 26, 2013.[60]
Damon starred alongside Jodie Foster in the science fiction film Elysium, where he played former car-thief-turned-factory-worker Max DeCosta. The movie was written, co-produced and directed by Neill Blomkamp of District 9, and was released on August 9, 2013.[61] He also appeared in the science fiction movie The Zero Theorem by Terry Gilliam in 2013.
In 2014, he starred in George Clooney's The Monuments Men.
Upcoming films
On January 18, 2012, Damon and Affleck confirmed interest in an untitled film project related to the Boston crime figure "Whitey" Bulger recently convicted in August 2013.[62] The untitled film project by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon related to "Whitey" Bulger was described in a 2012 GQ article about Affleck.[63][64] The character played by Jack Nicholson in The Departed (2006), in which Damon was a co-star, was also based in part upon the Boston crime figure "Whitey" Bulger.[65]
Producing career
Along with Affleck and producers Chris Moore and Sean Bailey, Damon founded the production company LivePlanet, through which the four created the documentary series Project Greenlight to find and fund worthwhile film projects from novice filmmakers.[66] The company produced and founded the short-lived mystery-hybrid series Push, Nevada as well as other projects. Project Greenlight was nominated for Emmys for Outstanding Reality Program in 2002, 2004, and 2005.[19]
In March 2010, Damon and Affleck teamed up again to sign a first-look production deal with Warner Bros.[67] The new company is called Pearl Street Films.
Humanitarian work
Damon was the founder of H2O Africa Foundation, the charitable arm of the Running the Sahara expedition,[19][68] which merged with WaterPartners to create Water.org in July 2009.[69] He, along with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, David Pressman, and Jerry Weintraub, is one of the founders of Not On Our Watch Project, an organization that focuses global attention and resources to stop and prevent mass atrocities such as in Darfur.[70] Damon supports the ONE Campaign, which is aimed at fighting AIDS and poverty in Third World countries. He has appeared in their print and television advertising. Damon is also an ambassador for OneXOne, a non-profit foundation committed to supporting, preserving and improving the lives of children at home in Canada, the United States, and around the world.[71] Damon is also a spokesperson for Feeding America, the largest USA-focused hunger-relief organization, and a member of their Entertainment Council, participating in their Ad Council PSAs.
Damon is a board member of Tonic Mailstopper (formerly GreenDimes), a company that attempts to halt junk mail delivered to American homes each day.[72] Appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show on April 20, 2007, Damon promoted the organization's efforts to prevent the trees used for junk mail letters and envelopes from being chopped down. Damon stated: "For an estimated dime a day they can stop 70 percent of the junk mail that comes to your house. It's very simple, easy to do, great gift to give, I've actually signed up my entire family. It was a gift given to me this past holiday season and I was so impressed that I'm now on the board of the company."[73]
In 2011, the documentary which he narrated, American Teacher, opened in New York prior to national screening.[74]
In the media
Kimmel and Damon
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel at some point started stating near the end of his ABC television show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, "My apologies to Matt Damon; we ran out of time", a line lampooning instances where shows cannot feature their last guest due to time constraints. On September 12, 2006, after a segment highlighting the running gag and a lengthy introduction by Kimmel, Damon finally appeared on the show, only for Kimmel to apologetically cut his interview and head to credits, leading Damon to curse him extensively before storming off. This encounter was entirely planned by Kimmel and Damon.[75]
Kimmel's girlfriend at the time, comedian Sarah Silverman, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on January 31, 2008, and aired a clip where she is singing a song entitled "I'm Fucking Matt Damon". Damon appeared in the song with Silverman.[76] Kimmel responded by airing his own music video in which he announced, through song, that he is "fucking Ben Affleck". The video aired on February 24, 2008, and featured Affleck along with a host of celebrities, including Don Cheadle, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Harrison Ford, and Robin Williams.
Later on, Kimmel's sidekick, Guillermo, appeared in a spoof of The Bourne Ultimatum, which starred Damon. He was then chased down by Damon as he cursed about Kimmel being behind all this.
The next encounter was titled "The Handsome Men's Club" which featured Kimmel, along with other "Handsome Men" including Matthew McConaughey, John Krasinski, Patrick Dempsey, Sting, Gilles Marini, Ted Danson, Rob Lowe, Keith Urban, Tony Romo, Taye Diggs, Josh Hartnett, Ben Affleck and Lenny Kravitz. At the end of the skit Kimmel has a door slammed in his face by Damon stating that they had run out of time and then Damon continues with a sinister laugh.[77]
On January 24, 2013, Damon finally got his revenge on Jimmy Kimmel by taking over his entire show. He not only referenced the long-running feud by mentioning that he has been bumped for 1,205 shows, but involved numerous celebrities who were previously involved in the feud, including Robin Williams. The monologue was hijacked in part by Ben Affleck altering cue cards, and the show culminated with an interview with Kimmel's former fiance, Sarah Silverman.
Political views
Damon appeared on Hardball with Chris Matthews in December 2006 and, while discussing the ongoing war in Iraq, he stated: "It seems like we have a fighting class in our country that's comprised of people who have to go for financial reasons... I don't think that that is fair. If you're gonna send people to war... then that needs to be shared by everybody, you know, and if the president has daughters who are of age then maybe they should go too."[78]
Damon is a supporter of the Democratic Party, and has made several critical comments on Republican Party figures, and expressed his disillusionment with the policies of President Barack Obama.[79][80] In 2012 Damon, Ben Affleck, and John Krasinski hosted a fundraiser for Democratic Senate nominee Elizabeth Warren.[81]
In January 2012, it was announced that Damon had signed a multi-year deal to be the voice of TD Ameritrade advertisements, replacing Sam Waterston as the discount brokerage's spokesman. Damon donates all fees from the advertisements to charity.[82]
Personal life
Damon dated his Good Will Hunting co-star Minnie Driver.[83] He later had a two-year relationship with actress Winona Ryder.[21] From 2001 to 2003, he dated Odessa Whitmire, a former personal assistant of Billy Bob Thornton and Ben Affleck.[21] While filming Stuck on You in 2003,[84] Damon met Argentine-born Luciana Bozán Barroso (born 1976) in Miami, where she was working as a bartender.[85] The couple married in a private civil ceremony on December 9, 2005, at the Manhattan Marriage Bureau near New York City Hall.[85] Damon became stepfather to Bozán Barroso's young daughter, Alexia, from her previous marriage. The couple also have three daughters.[86][87][88] On April 13, 2013, Damon and his wife renewed their wedding vows after eight years of marriage.[89] In the summer of 2013, Damon and his family moved from Manhattan to Los Angeles.[90]
Damon is a fan of the Boston Red Sox.[91] After the team won the 2007 World Series, he narrated the commemorative DVD release of the event.[92]
He enjoys playing poker and has competed in several World Series of Poker (WSOP) events[93][94] including the 2010 World Series of Poker main event.[95] He dropped $25,000 at the WSOP while researching his role as a professional poker player in Rounders (1998)[96] and after filming the movie Damon was busted out of the 1998 WSOP by poker professional Doyle Brunson.[97]

The Frog Prince
Roma Ryan
Deep in my dreams,
I saw you close by my side.
And the words you said to me,
made me reel down deep inside.
My hand in your hand,
so warm and so lovingly.
Leaving all my dreams behind,
wonder who my prince will be?
What is this wonder,
that love can make you feel?
Am I deep now in slumber,
or is my prince real?
Now, now my dream,
is standing close by my side.
Saying words I wish to hear,
and I'm reeling deep inside.
Morning has come,
my dreams are left far behind.
As I walk through Paris streets,
I know now what I shall find.
This smile on my face,
will carry a love I have known.
Like a fairytale come true,
oh, what joy this love has shown

Friday Poll: Which Nexus 5 feature excites you most?
Google's Nexus 5 smartphone has gone from rumors to reality, bringing with it a bigger screen, upgraded processor, and LTE support. It also comes with new OS innards, sporting the latest Android 4.4 KitKat.
Whereas Apple's iPhone 5S missed the boat on offering an unlocked phone at a reasonable price (it starts at $649), the Nexus 5 has landed at a much more attractive price. The unlocked 16GB version goes for $349 while the 32GB is $399. That's in keeping with the $349 price for the 16GB Nexus 4 at launch.

Nearly three days after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, there's still no definitive trace of the Boeing 777 or the 239 people who were on board.
As of Monday evening in Malaysia, none of the clues so far had led searchers to the plane.
Back in 2009, a mathematician by the name of Tim Gowers posted a theorem on his blog and asked his readers to help prove it together. They did, in a month. A lot of very bright people came together and solved it. Strength in numbers.
That is also how I see the community of public radio and public media. You are part of a large number of very smart folks. And a number of you financially support the broadcast and digital work from KGOU and StateImpact Oklahoma.

After a second day of frantic searching failed to uncover the fate of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, ships and aircraft are combing over parts of the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea where the jetliner is suspected of crashing with 239 people aboard more than 48 hours ago.
Vietnamese officials say search planes have spotted an object that could be debris from the jet — but darkness fell in Asia hours ago, complicating any attempts to verify or expand on that claim.

An international search is underway for a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet that's been missing for more than 24 hours. Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 had 227 passengers and 12 crew members aboard when it took off from Kuala Lumpur early Saturday on a flight bound for Beijing.
A regular inspection of the missing Boeing 777-200 found no technical problems 10 days ago, reports China's state-run Xinhua news agency, citing a Malaysia Airlines spokesman.

Native American women are the most likely to put off getting a mammogram, according to research by Dr. Eleni Tolma, associate professor at the college of public health at the OU Health Sciences Center.
"When I came to Oklahoma back in 2002, I wanted to find out what I could do in terms of breast cancer, I was always interested in women's health issues," Tolma, who is also the lead researcher for the Native Women Health Project, said.
Oklahoma's Department of Corrections has temporarily banned news media from bringing cameras or any recording equipment inside its prisons.
The Tulsa World reports that DOC officials notified the newspaper this week that requests to bring photographers inside prisons for two interviews had been denied. They instead said a reporter would be allowed to conduct the interviews, so long as no recording equipment was brought into the facility.
The executive director of a historic preservation nonprofit says he will not appeal a decision to demolish a historic downtown theater complex.
Preservation Oklahoma executive director David Pettyjohn says he's disappointed the Oklahoma City Board of Adjustment voted to sustain the decision by the Downtown Design Review Committee to demolish the Stage Center, but he won't appeal the decision.
Stuck In The Middle With Ukraine
The United States and the European Union differed this week in their response to Russia's role in the crisis in Ukraine.
While Washington is imposing sanctions and strongly criticizing Moscow, the EU has taken softer measures.
As University of Oklahoma political scientist Paul Goode explained two weeks ago, Western media are eager to portray the crisis as a "Cold War 2.0."

Credit-card rivals Visa and MasterCard said Friday they have formed an industry-wide group aimed at improving payment security in the wake of a number of breaches that compromised customers' data.
"The recent high-profile breaches have served as a catalyst for much needed collaboration between the retail and financial services industry on the issue of payment security," Visa President Ryan McInerney said in the statement.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith wasn't named his team's offensive player of the week despite his 411-yard, five-touchdown game against James Madison, though that omission has become a custom.
Yet Smith wasn't the Big 12 Conference's offensive player of the week, either. The honor went instead to Texas quarterback David Ash, who was 19-for-23 for 326 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in a 66-31 win at Ole Miss.
Quarterback was the key position in the offseason for the Longhorns, who have arguably the nation's most talented defense. Ash was named the starter in August after neither he nor Case McCoy could keep the starting spot last season. Ash was just a true freshman in 2011 who wasn't expected to play much, if at all.
Ash, who enrolled in January 2011, took only a handful of snaps in the team's spring game because McCoy, Garrett Gilbert and Connor Wood were expected to win the job.
"They went into the summer really working hard and David didn't really get in the flow during summer workouts and there wasn't enough time for him to get a lot of snaps," Texas Coach Mack Brown said. "He had a little option package. We were going to redshirt Connor Wood and Case McCoy and Garrett Gilbert were going to play."
Wood transferred to Colorado last August. Gilbert, who came on for an injured Colt McCoy in the 2010 national championship game, started the first two games last season, but transferred to SMU after two starts and season-ending shoulder surgery.
Ash and McCoy traded the job back and forth as Texas went 7-5 in the regular season, but Ash started the bowl game win against Cal. Brown said Ash was 14-for-15 in the final scrimmage in preseason camp. Ash completed 15 consecutive passes against Ole Miss.
"It was a difficult thing putting the whole package on him (in 2011)," Brown said. "It was probably too much. But since then he's grown a lot, all the way through the Cal game when he was the most valuable player. He and Case had a great competition throughout the spring and summer and they were neck and neck, but David really started to do thing right."

THE BIG 12 has five teams ranked in the top 25 and Baylor is only 26 points from cracking the rankings. The Bears have the nation's second longest winning streak (eight), trailing only new neighbor TCU, which was won 10 straight.
Baylor, which has scored 30 or more points in eight straight games and 40 points or more in six consecutive games, could be ranked Sunday. The team travels to upstart Louisiana-Monroe, which won at Arkansas Sept. 8 and lost in overtime at Auburn on Saturday.
"You hope your players are always ready, regardless of the situation, but I think what Monroe was able to do against Arkansas and the national attention garnered from that, if we didn't have a healthy amount of respect for them then, that should have helped," Coach Art Briles said.
Baylor is WVU's first Big 12 opponent. The Sept. 29 game will be at noon on FX, the conference announced Monday.

THE LEAGUE'S marquee matchup this week is Saturday night when No. 15 Kansas State plays at No. 6 Oklahoma. Sooners Coach Bob Stoops attended Iowa from 1979-82 and was a four-year starting safety when Kansas State Coach Bill Snyder was the Iowa offensive coordinator.

A British businessman has told the BBC he wants to bring a private prosecution against two UK terrorism suspects. Karl Watkin said he wanted to prosecute Babar Ahmad and Talha Ahsan, rather than them face extradition to the US.
Mr Ahmad has been detained without trial for a record eight years. The US accuse him and Mr Ahsan of running a major jihadist website. The men are understood to have confirmed involvement in the UK website – but have not admitted offences.
Mr Ahmad and Mr Ahsan are accused of involvement in Azzam.com, a website and publishing business which between 1996 and 2002 was at the heart of the radicalisation of English-speaking Muslims.
Although the website was based and operated from London, it was technically hosted in the US.
Neither of the suspects has been charged with an offence in the UK relating to Azzam, despite the fact that the investigation by US authorities includes evidence seized by the Metropolitan Police.
Bless Panther Manchanda it will be done!
Heard Babar's father speak tonight about this, they are asking everyone to write to the Department of Public Prosecutions to request that there is a trial here, so that Babar and his co-defendants do not face a life of solitary, in a high max prison, the in States.

Denali National Park, Alaska
Riley Creek Campground (NPS Campground)
[ 9/10 ]
Located near the entrance of Denali National Park. Very close to the general store, showers, laundry, and dump station. A resident moose wandered through camp the 2 nights we stayed there. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the park.
Homer, Alaska
Fishing Hole Campground
[ 8/10 ]
A nice place to stay if you are only looking for dry camping. We parked right next to the fishing hole and walked to the shops at the harbor. Our neighbor welcomed us into camp with a big plate of delicious beer battered halibut and blackened halibut. Very friendly people at this camp, and a great place to watch the bald eagles.
Mammoth Lakes, California
Convict Lake Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Very clean campground with the stream right next to the campsites, and within walking distance to the lake. Extremely nice campground hosts. The only negative is that there isn't very much shade in the campsites.
Marsing, Idaho
Riverhaven Park
[ 8/10 ]
Nice, clean park with a very friendly host. She met us at our site to help us register. A beautiful location, right on the Snake River, but the spaces were a little small. A great place for a one night stay.
Lee Vining, California
Big Bend Campground - USFS
[ 8/10 ]
We have been camping at this campground for several years. It is a primitive campground with pit toilets and no other amenities, but the location is great. The campground host is always friendly and helpful. Located on the Lee Vining Creek within driving distance of Yosemite, Mammoth, Bodie, and Bridgeport.
Worley, Idaho
Coeur D'Alene Casino
[ 10/10 ]
Camping area is a parking lot at the far end of casino, not in a formal RV area. Some of the light poles still have electric hook ups, and a few rows have 20 amp hook ups. No bathrooms available. Very clean and a safe place to stay for free!
Las Vegas, Nevada
Sam's Town Hotel Casino & RV Park - Boulder
[ 8/10 ]
Parked on gravel, but park was neat and clean. RV park is within walking distance to casino. Security vehicles patrolled very often, which made us feel safe. Some road noise, but not enough to bother us. Showers were clean, but very small and needed a bench and hooks to assist with keeping clothes and accessories dry while showering. Overall, a nice place and we will stay here again.
Benson, Arizona
Kartchner Caverns State Park
[ 10/10 ]
A beautiful campground within walking distance of the visitors center where the cave tours begin. The caves are exceptional, and I highly recommend both tours. Large sites with clean, beautiful bathrooms and showers. Easy access to the campground, and only 9 miles from I-10. An overall great campground that I recommend even if you are not taking one of the cave tours.
Fort Davis, Texas
Overland Trail Campground
[ 4/10 ]
Office was not open when we arrived at 11:00 am. Campground was small and in need of some TLC. Weeds, old cars, and old mobile homes made me feel like we were staying in an old trailer park instead of an RV park. Confusion on my part led to sarcasm from person who finally arrived late to open the office. I felt like I was interrupting his day by trying to check in. Good location, in the center of town, but will not stay there again.
Golden Valley, Arizona
Adobe RV Park (55+ park)
[ 10/10 ]
The cleanest park, laundry room, and showers I have ever seen in a campground. Everyone (including the owners and campers) were so friendly and helpful. We camped in our small 20 foot Pleasure Way, and the owners came over in the evening to make sure we had bathroom facilities in our rig before locking the restrooms for the night. We will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Starter Bakery
Croissant, Dethroned; All Hail Kouign-Amann
Almost every Sunday someone approaches the Starter Bakery stand at the Temescal Farmers' Market, frantically scanning the selection of baked goods for something, something they can't quite identify. Brian Wood knows what it is. His kouign-amann launched Starter into existence about a year ago, and its popularity spread so quickly through the East Bay (where the bakery is headquartered) that people started seeking out the pastry with the name they couldn't pronounce, solely based on the buzz on the street. [For the record, the first word "kouign" is pronounced "queen," and the second part, "amann," is prounced like the capital of Jordan, Amman.]
Now San Franciscans can find the rare treat at several cafes around town, and Wood has had to put a hold on new accounts because his little bakery can't keep up with the demand. So what the heck is kouign-amann, you ask? Let's start by saying your morning croissant is about to get upstaged in the pastry case.

From: ANDY SLIMP, ACTING CHIEF BOILER INSPECTOR
Re: ITT GENERAL CONTROLS HYDRAMOTOR GAS "V710" VALVES
Please be advised of a potential problem with ITT General Control hydramotor gas valves with V710 valve bodies.
The Oklahoma Department of Labor's investigation into an October 1999 boiler explosion discovered a deteriorated o-ring seal on the V710 valve disc in two separate valve units. The V710 valve (which may have possibly contributed to the October 1999 incident) was manufactured in 1977. The V710 valve in the second unit was manufactured in 1984. The possibility exists that this o-ring seal might become lodged between the seat and disc allowing gas to leak through the closed valve.
As a safety precaution, the Oklahoma Department of Labor recommends that boilers equipped with these valves have a licensed boiler repair firm check and verify the condition of these valves. A pressure test might not reveal the problem so we further recommend the seal be visually inspected.
All inquiries should be directed to (405) 528-1500 ext. 243 or telephone ODOL toll-free statewide at 1-888-269-5353 ext. 243.

Int'l 444 left steering cylinder hose routing?
Anyone happen to have a picture of this?
Today got a hole in this hydraulic hose. I made the assumption that it was just old and worn out. Only after I installed a new hose did I realize that the hose is being pinched by the nut on the cylinder end at full lock right.
I probably won't get long life out of the new hose installed the same way. It would be great if I could see what the original installation was like. I can't imagine it coming from the factory that way. Some previous owner coud have used an off-the-shelf replacement that was not the same as original.

Supreme Court rejects generic drug labeling suits
- Tweet
- Share this
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that generic drug companies cannot be sued under state law over allegations that they failed to provide adequate label warnings about potential side effects.
By a 5-4 vote, the justices gave a victory to Israel's Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, Mylan Inc's UDL Laboratories and Iceland-based Actavis Inc by overturning U.S. appeals court rulings that allowed such lawsuits.
The companies argued that federal law barred such lawsuits because the drug had been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Federal law requires generic drugs to have the same labels as their brand name equivalents.
Justice Clarence Thomas in the court's majority opinion agreed. He said federal drug regulations applicable to generic drug manufacturers directly conflicted with and thus pre-empted state lawsuits.
The Supreme Court decided a related issue in 2009 when it ruled FDA drug regulations do not protect pharmaceutical companies from being sued under state law over drug labeling, a case involving Pfizer Inc's Wyeth unit and its antinausea drug Phenergan.
But in the generic drug cases, the justices reversed separate U.S. appeals court rulings that the lawsuits against the companies could go forward.
The high court agreed with the arguments of the generic drug makers that they had no choice but to use the same drug labels as the brand manufacturer.
Teva, Actavis and the Generic Pharmaceutical Association hailed the ruling.
Attorney Jay Lefkowitz, who represented Teva, said, "The Supreme Court hit the nail on the head today by making clear that federal law does not permit states to hold generic drug manufacturers liable for using the very warnings federal law required them to use."
Actavis CEO Doug Boothe called the ruling "an important and necessary step by the Supreme Court to clarify the proper interpretation of regulations governing pharmaceutical labeling."
Bob Billings, the trade group's executive director, said assessing liability would have placed "the generic manufacturer in the impossible position of defending the content of a label that they are required by law to use but prevented by law from changing."
One case involved Julie Demahy, who sued Actavis and said it should have warned her of the risks of developing a neurological movement disorder from metoclopramide, a generic drug for heartburn, nausea and vomiting.
The drug's brand name equivalent is Reglan.
In another case, Gladys Mensing sued the three generic drug makers in federal court in Minnesota after allegedly developing the same disorder after taking generic versions of Reglan.
When the women first took the drug, the approved labeling said that "therapy longer than 12 weeks has not been evaluated and cannot be recommended."
That warning was changed in 2004 to say simply that therapy should not exceed 12 weeks and in 2009 the FDA ordered that specific warnings about the movement disorder be added to Reglan and metoclopramide.
The Obama administration supported the two women. It said the companies could have sought changes to the drug's label.

Mentors of a non-profit organization are teaching kids all about robots.
They're called "100 Black Men of Albany", and Saturday they held a class to teach young people more about robotics and technology.
More than a dozen young people studied different parts of robots, and learned how they're used in the everyday world. This is the third year for the event.
"Probably go to college and learn how to build all kinds of things. Especially things in engineering and technology and later on, you can have a career in it," said Keidon Bryant.
"We have robotics in everything and computer. And it's a great start to get kids using computers and understanding technology," said Michael Harris.
Representatives with the Ronald McDonald Children's Charities presented a check for $5,000 to the non-profit group.

St. Joseph's University Institue for Jewish-Catholic Relations will host Rabbi Dr. Mark Winer for a talk on "The Lessons of Kristallnacht" at McShain Hall.
Kristallnacht, or "The Night of Broken Glass," was a planned series of attacks on Jewish synagogues and businesses in Nazi Germany that erupted on the night of November 9-10, 1938. Many historians date this rampage as the beginning of the Shoah (Holocaust). In our own time, acts of terrorism couched in religious rhetoric have intensified feelings of interreligious hostility. Rabbi Winer, drawing on his extensive experience in promoting understanding among Jews, Christians, and Muslims, will reflect on the interreligious attitudes among these three traditions today.

The Jews Under Turkey's "New Deal":
The Struggle for Democracy is Still Not Won
- Abstract
One Sunday morning last October, on a street in Istanbul, which ordinarily dozes through every seventh day, the flag of modern Zion broke out officially for the first time under the Turkish sky from the mast of the newly-recognized State of Israel's Consulate. This modest event produced a succession of surprises from which only old Turkish hands, who know that two and two practically never add up to four along the Bosphorus, can make sense.
No less than fifteen thousand of Istanbul's remaining thirty-five thousand Jews went to that street, eyes wet and throats aching with passionate pride, to see the colors of Israel unfurl. Their spontaneous congregation before the Consulate violated Turkish laws against unauthorized assembly and entirely flouted the ban on demonstrations in favor of a foreign power. The Jews came unbidden, unorganized, and unled. By coming they reversed, emphatically and challengingly, the habitual tendency of Jewry in Turkey to ward off the discriminating attentions of the authorities by keeping as inconspicuous as possible. They came, in fact, despite the nervous pleas of community leaders who feared the apparently inevitable displeasure of a Moslem public and a nationalist government.
