Best Investments 2013: Beat Bernanke by Embracing the Free Market
For the last four years, ordinary Americans have struggled to rebuild their wealth in the wake of the Great Financial Crisis.
Last week, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis reported that the average U.S. household has recovered only 45% of its wealth lost during the recession.
Of course, the Federal Reserve won't acknowledge that its Chairman, Ben Bernanke, has been a principle driver in the underperformance of the middle class' return to financial normalcy. Bernanke has removed incentives for anyone to keep their dollars in a savings account by knocking interest rates to near-record lows.
Meanwhile, nearly 50% of Americans do not own any stocks or bonds. Given recent memories of their wealth evaporating, it's been difficult to instill much confidence for those who lost so much.
Low rates and lost confidence in the markets have left more Americans vulnerable to inflation, accelerating costs of staples, and uncertainty about their financial future.
But there is good news.

Best Investments: How China's Creating a Huge Market for These Metals
Looking for some of the best investments in metals?
Don't overlook palladium and platinum, key materials used in building catalytic converters.
Demand for the metals - and prices - will take off.We asked Rick Rule, the founder of Sprott Asset Management's Global Companies unit, to explain why.
Rule told Money Morning in the following interview the prices will rise partly because demand for palladium and platinum will grow as a result of what's happening in the automobile market in China, now the largest automaker in the world.
Here's why these metals could be the best investments you make in 2013.
Best Investments: Don't Miss the Next Raging Bull Market in Uranium
Investors who bought into uranium at the right time in the 1970s probably considers it one of the best investments they've ever made...
When the element entered a bull market in the '70s, the result was 10-fold gains for uranium prices, and 100-fold gains for related uranium stocks.
Now the stage is set for uranium's price to go on another tear...
To find out why uranium could be one of the best investments over the next few years, we turned to Rick Rule, founder and chairman of Sprott Global Resources Investments.

Some of the Best Investments for Doubling Your Money Are in Biotech
Innovation is the mother of lucrative investing, and nowhere is that truer than in biotech - which delivers some of the best investments you'll ever find.
Biotechnology provides breakthrough products and technologies to combat debilitating and rare ailments, it reduces rates of infectious disease, tailors treatments to individuals to minimize health risks and side effects, creates more precise tools for disease detection, and it reduces the odds of global life threatening conditions.

Best Investments 2013: Finding Opportunity Far and Near
Samuel Johnson once said, "The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are."
Although penned by an 18th century English writer, the idea holds true in today's highly connected world of search bars, tweets and breaking news. Our portfolio managers' research trips to foreign countries authenticates the data from a Bloomberg terminal or an earnings report. Treks add tacit knowledge to our wealth of explicit facts.
Last week, I was in Peru and Colombia with former president Bill Clinton and Frank Giustra in conjunction with the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership.
I've been involved with this impressive organization since its inception. I love how it brings together private companies, government and communities in developing regions of the world to eradicate poverty by growing jobs and training local workers.

Best Investments 2013: Why Hedge Funds Love Greece
Talk about looking for best investments in the most unlikely places...
The bad economic news out of Greece has dominated the headlines for several years now. As the country tries to work its way back to prosperity, a solvent banking system is going to be critical to the process. Banks have seen their capital base shrink from bond haircuts, bad loans and depositors withdrawing money to get it outside the beleaguered nation's banking system.
As part of its plan to restore the nation's fiscal health, Greece has told the banks they need to complete a recapitalization plan that raises Tier 1 capital ratios by 9%. This should increase their solvency and allow the nation to receive further bailout funds from the European Union.
Restored capital levels should help the banks regain access to interbank markets and provide the liquidity needed to help push the economy back on track.

Best Investments 2013: How the Mining Mess Will Send Platinum Soaring
Thanks to the hit gold prices took in mid-April, other precious metals also got caught in the downdraft - but some still look to be among the best investments of 2013.
Take platinum, for example.
It is currently trading at about $1,500 an ounce, well off its 52-week high of $1,734 an ounce. During the height of the selloff last month, it touched a low of $1,381 an ounce.
Investors sold it along with all other precious metals, even though the fundamentals for platinum may be better than ever.
While platinum's long-term outlook is bright, a short-term price catalyst is about to take place, as early as this week.
The world's biggest platinum producer, ANGLO American Platinum (Amplats), could take a significant amount of platinum off the market. The restructuring could cost 14,000 jobs and close two South African mines.
It'll also help drive a supply deficit that will only expand in the years ahead, making platinum one of the best investments to make now before prices soar.
No wonder Sprott Holdings' Rick Rule bought $280 million worth of platinum and palladium earlier this year...

The Best Sector to Invest in Now
I try to keep a balanced portfolio, or at least one that isn't entirely concentrated in one sector.
I like a lot of international holdings, especially from East Asia (but not particularly China itself) and I try to have at least some representation even in sectors that bore me utterly, like consumer packaged goods - Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG). I know you've increased your dividend every year since 1954, which is a magnificent achievement, but I STILL can't get excited about your business!
Some market sectors I have difficulty warming up to. Tech, for example, I find very difficult to analyze. If a company has the latest whizz-bang, I can't tell how the market will receive it. I can't tell how long market enthusiasm for it will last, and I can't tell how quickly competitors will produce something that's just a little bit better.
Even an Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) that appears to have an invulnerable position can very easily be undone by margin erosion. Apple's margins are unsustainable in a competitive environment; it has a business in which Foxconn, the manufacturer, makes very little money while Apple, the retailer, makes heaps of it. For me, instead of trading at a premium to the market because of its growth, tech should trade at a discount to the market because of its risks.

Presidential campaigns are all fun and games until someone threatens to blow up your home planet
When Jacob Wonderbar receives a message that he's been nominated for President of the Universe, he, Sarah Daisy, and Dexter immediately return to space. But Jacob's archnemesis, Prince Mick Cracken, is running as well, and his campaign tactics involve kidnappings and rogue space monkeys.
After surviving corndog-eating contests and insult debates, Jacob discovers the stakes for this election are even higher than he imagined: A military group wants to destroy Planet Earth, and the President of the Universe is the only person who can stop them. Hold on to your space helmet - Nathan Bransford's second book in the Jacob Wonderbar series is packed with planet-hopping adventure, hilarity, and heart.
About the Author
Nathan Bransford (www.nathanbransford.com) is a social media director and writes a popular blog about writing and publishing. You can find him on Twitter (twitter.com/ NathanBransford)! He lives in San Francisco, California.
Praise for Jacob Wonderbar for President of the Universe…
"[Readers] will enjoy the story's gadgets and broad (bodily function-focused) humor."
"Bransford's second slapstick space saga is as much fun as the first."
"The breakneck plot zooms from planet to planet and crisis to crisis, and includes berserk space monkeys, trigger-happy SEER thugs, and even bloviating journalists. Along the way, there's some trenchant parody of contemporary electoral politics and sensation-obsessed media, as well as a surprisingly thoughtful reflection on loyalty, friendship, and individual responsibility. The cliff-hanger ending will ensure an audience for the next installment."

An Omaha man lied about finding a dog discarded in a black trash bag in a carwash dumpster, the Nebraska Humane Society said Saturday.
Kenneth Harrison, 28, lives in Omaha and he and his girlfriend were actually the owners of the dog, the Humane Society said. Harrison was ticketed for false reporting.
Humane Society officials were tipped off by a phone call Friday night. During an interview with investigators Saturday morning, Harrison admitted to fabricating the story.
Harrison was initially lauded for saving the 2-year-old terrier mix, named Little Eddie, from the trash. He claimed to be a New Yorker visiting family in Omaha when he found the small dog in a dumpster near 72nd and Maple Streets.
"When I picked him up, he just immediately started licking ... And I just melted," Harrison told The World-Herald on Friday.
The story generated donations to the Humane Society for the dog's care from as far away as Australia. People who gave money will be offered their donation back.
Harrison told investigators that he wanted to give up the dog because of housetraining issues but feared he would have to pay a fee to surrender it or for not having it licensed.
Mark Langan, vice president of field operations for the Nebraska Humane Society, said Harrison simply could have surrendered the dog and walked out the door with no money out of his pocket.
While the organization asks for a small donation when an animal is brought in, it is a request and not a requirement.
Harrison was ticketed under an animal control ordinance that says it's illegal to lie to the Humane Society about how someone came into possession of an animal. He faces a maximum punishment of six months in jail and/or a $500 fine.
The silver lining, Langan said: "The dog showed no signs of injuries or illnesses that would be associated with being wrapped inside a plastic bag."
In other words, Little Eddie is doing fine. And soon will be up for adoption.
Staff writer Patrick Duprey contributed to this report.

Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees 04/22/2014, at Fenway Park ... Find Tickets
April 15: Criticism of Kevin Youkilis: The most public of Valentine's player criticisms caused the most commotion. During an interview in April, Valentine was asked about Youkilis and said, "I don't think he's as physically or emotionally into the game as he has been in the past for some reason." The comment prompted Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia to come to the defense of Youkilis, saying, "That's not the way we go about our stuff around here. Maybe that works in Japan." Valentine apologized to Youkilis, but the third baseman was eventually shipped out of town for pennies on the dollar.

Why did people laugh when Saints Row came up? Saints row is an insane game and i wished they didn't cancel it for 3DS because i would of got it on the first day...
lol at all the dumb asses who watched up until the end of the zelda controller mishap and then gave up on the conference before seeing the best parts XD
red dragon gecko: yes, the presentation of zelda is completely horrible, but in fact, what Miyamoto said was true: the problem was interference. I can tell you this because I have read a lot of reports about skyward sword and all of them say that the controls are really responsive
Amazing. I didn't expect that I would want to watch the whole thing. It's funny though, they made no mention of Ocarina of Time 3D. Just Skyward Sword.
this press conference was a nintendo fanboys dream, so many classic franchises getting new installments/remakes. people will have plenty of reasons to fire up the wii this year. certainly made up for last years disappointing press conference (a vitality sensor? really?) the PA comic really sums it up best http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/6/16/
Ok that was probably the best conference out of the big three. 3DS looks boss, can't wait to actually see the 3D effect in real life.
I think it was a very good conference for nintendo this year. Much better than the last 2 years for them, something for everyone to get excited about
Since I am a gamer and did not want to get up at 8 effing 30, I guess I will watch it now. Told that its promising.
@SneekyRatchet & @Stedmister It's epic fail Gamespot.... it is the GAMESPOT website. Not the nintendo press conference.
I hope the environments in the finished game aren't as bland as what was shown in the video. other than that, the game looks pretty good.
I'm only having it play to get the achievment while I wait in boredom for the Sony conference to be uploaded

What charity CRM vendors are really saying

David Davison highlights a recent age discrimination case and warns charities about the potential costs of participating in public sector pensions schemes.
I have written previously on the risks charities participating in public sector schemes, such as the local government pension scheme, face as a result of making staff redundant after age 50. The issue is that these schemes confer preferential rights on staff who leave on grounds of 'operational efficiency', rights which can often cost organisations hundreds of thousands of pounds. Frequently these costs can more than wipe out any saving to be derived from the redundancy exercise and organisations need to be wary of the implications.
An interesting employment case, Woodcock vs. Cumbria Primary Care Trust, has now thrown some interesting potential discrimination issues in to the mix.
Mr Woodcock, who was almost 49 years old, was the Chief Executive of Cumbria PCT and was being made redundant after a re-organisation. He was entitled to a 12 month contractual notice period. At age 50 he would have benefitted from enhanced pension benefits worth around £500,000 if he was then made redundant. In an effort to avoid this the employer gave him notice prior to starting the redundancy consultation process and Mr Woodcock then brought an age discrimination complaint on the basis that the notice should not have started prior to the start of the consultation.
An employment tribunal and an appeal tribunal both found that the timing of the dismissal was justified even though it was potentially discriminatory and that the employer's aim of avoiding additional costs was legitimate. The tribunals took the view that had notice not been given when it was Mr Woodcock would have benefitted from a 'windfall' and that ultimately, as Mr Woodcock was only interested in a chief executive position and no such roles were available, the timing wouldn't have made a difference.
The Court of Appeal ultimately upheld the appeal tribunal decision accepting that a 'cost plus' approach may, in certain circumstances, involve an artificial assessment of the facts. It contended however that this wasn't the case here as there were genuine reasons for dismissal and therefore the decision was not based solely on cost.
The Court of Appeal looked to identify if the means to achieving the legitimate aim were proportionate and that cost is only one part of the assessment. So organisations in a similar position need to make sure they take the right professional advice and look at the issue as a whole rather than just the financial aspects.

Artistic Gymnastics HistoryGymnastics is one of the oldest Olympic sports, and was first practised at the ancient Olympic Games when the competitors performed a variety of events that could loosely be termed as 'gymnastics'. These included wrestling and vaulting over bulls, according to illustrations seen on ancient clay pots. In fact, the name 'gymnastics' is derived from the ancient Greek word 'gumnos' which literally translated means naked. Because of this, women were excluded from the ancient Games, not just as competitors but also as spectators!
From the Ancient Greek to the InternetThe history of gymnastics is closely related to the ancient Olympic Games, but a thousand years before then (2700 B.C. - 1400 B.C.,700BC - 1,400BC) King Minos and his contemporariespeers had already given their royal approval and seal to physical exercises.
The sport in its modern form first evolved during the 19th century, when two styles of gymnastics were in conflict : the Swedish system (mainly freestyle group exercises) and the German system (using apparatus).
Large open air gymnasiums began to appear in Europe during the 19th century, resembling adventure playgrounds where gentlemen could impress their lady friends with a spot of rope-climbing. It was regarded as a great form of discipline by the army, and many military terms still exist today, such as 'marching on' and 'saluting the judges'.
The international governing body for Gymnastics, the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG) was founded in 1881 in Liège (BEL). There are currently 129 federations affiliated to the FIG and 1 associated federation (31.12.2005).
Olympic since everArtistic Gymnasticsgymnastics is one of the few sports tothat have been contested at every Olympic Games of the modern era since 1896.
The first Olympic gymnastics competition in Athens took place affiliated and involved 18 gymnasts from five nations. Only voluntary routines on six apparatus were performed - high bar, parallel bars, pommel horse, rings, vault and rope climbing. Only Gold and Silvergold and silver medals were awarded and German gymnasts, many of whom also competed in other sports, such as athletics and wrestling, won the majority of them.
Changes were gradually made at each Olympic competition: - to the number of apparatus used, to the number of gymnasts per team and to the quality of the routines. However, the era of discipline-specific Gymnastics was fixed in 1952 at Helsinki.
Artistic Gymnastics TodayOne of the most popular sports in the Olympic programme, gymnastics is also one of the most demanding. Widely practised around the world, it requires a unique combination of strength, flexibility, stamina, daring and artistry.
Gymnastics has been a part of every Olympic Games, with women first competing in 1928 (large groups of women competed in 1908 and 1912). In the early Olympiads of the modern era through 1948, the sport developed and broadened. Competitions were often held outdoors and apparatus had not yet been regulated. Indeed, many federations had to bring their own springboards, pommel horses and so on !
Many disciplines no longer exist today, such as rope climbing, club swinging, group parallel bar exercises for men and, for women, team drill exercises with and without hand apparatus, exercises on the even parallel, bars, side horse, spring board vaulting / jumping and flying rings.
The team drill ensemble with hand apparatus, such as clubs, ribbons, balls and hoops, that were part of the Women's Artistic Gymnastics programmewomen's artistic gymnastic program through the 1956 Olympic Games, has since evolved separately into the current sport of Rhythmic Gymnastics. Today, mass team drills with and without hand apparatus, are to be seen in the FIG World Gymnaestrada event and 'Gymnastics for All' programmesprograms.
In 1936, the individual apparatus events for men consisted of free exercises (forerunner of 'floor'), rings side (pommel) horse, parallel bars, horizontal bars and long horse, a similar apparatus programme as compared to today. The women in 1936 competed individually, earning team points, showing both a compulsory and an optional exercise on parallel bars, balance beam, side horse vault, as well as in 2 optional team drills - one free hand and one with hand apparatus. In 1948, the women even competed in a compulsory exercise on the rings !
The 1952 Olympics were the first in which the women were allowed to compete as individuals in the 4 apparatus program - vault, uneven bars, beam and floor.
Today, Artistic Gymnastics still enjoys widespread popularity, especially during the Olympic season. It is the 'Queen' of FIG competitive disciplines, alongside Rhythmic Gymnastics, Trampoline Gymnastics, Aerobic Gymnastics and Acrobatic Gymnastics. It is governed by two Technical Committees (Men's and Women's). Each year, the world's top gymnasts meet for the FIG World Championships. A World Cup Final takes place every even year.

Starting Out
- Wear the right running shoes. If you have low arches and tend to pronate (have excessive inward foot movement), a straight lasted shoe is usually a good choice. Curved lasted shoes with cushioning are best if you have high arches and tend to supinate (have excessive outward foot motion). See our Expert Advice article on running shoes for details.
- Warming up before running helps prevents injury and encourages better cardio conditioning. Ten minutes of walking or light calisthenics will warm up your muscles (and your heart). Avoid stretching cold muscles as it's easy to overstretch them. Save the stretching for your post-run routine (see Stretching below).
- Running too fast, too soon often results in injury and puts beginning runners on the sidelines. You can tell if you're going too fast by having a conversation with your running partner (or talking aloud to yourself). If you can't talk comfortably or easily complete a sentence, slow down!
Improve Your Performance
- To build endurance, first and foremost listen to your body. Do not add mileage if you're still fatigued from previous runs or your starting heart rate is above its normal resting rate. You can increase your mileage up to 10% weekly, but this really depends on your weekly mileage to begin with. Also, be sure to schedule a comparatively light week every fourth week to help avoid overuse injuries.
- Running hills will improve your overall strength. It will also increase your speed, since the motion of climbing hills mimics the high leg lifts of sprinting.
- To develop strength and speed, alternate intervals of sprinting with recovery periods at your normal training pace. Just be sure to warm up beforehand and cool down afterwards to allow your muscles to return to normal functioning.
- On race day, it's best to eat a light meal, high in carbohydrates so you'll have plenty of quick energy. You can get your carbs from energy bars, bananas, bagels or even pasta or rice. Sports drinks are also a good source of carbohydrates and will make sure you're well hydrated.
Stay Healthy
- Remember to drink sufficiently before, during and after running, even in cold weather. Your body still loses water through perspiration even though you may not feel like you're sweating or even thirsty. Don't overdo it, though, as overhydration can be as dangerous as too little water.
- In hot weather, it's best to wear lightweight, UPF-rated garments, which will breathe and protect you from sunlight. A cap with good ventilation or mesh and a brim to keep sun off your face is good, as is a generous dollop of sunscreen for exposed skin.
- For nighttime running, a safety light worn on a belt or armband offers good visibility to drivers. Models are available in clear or red light, and some feature a flashing beacon option.
- Shin splints are often caused by the forceful impact of heel strike. The best way to avoid injury during your stride is to try to land midfoot. This lessens the overall impact on your joints and reduces the time your foot touches the ground, which helps increase your speed and efficiency. If you land heel first or overstride, your foot acts as a brake and actually slows you down.
- If you get injured while running, make sure you get adequate rest before you go back to your training schedule. RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) is the first line of defense for pulled muscles, strains and sprains. Rest to prevent further injury, ice to slow swelling or bleeding, compression from an elastic bandage to immobilize a joint and/or further reduce swelling, and elevation to prevent fluid buildup in the tissues.
- Cross-training is an excellent way to work different muscle groups, prevent workout boredom and overuse injuries. Cycling, stair climbing, cross-country skiing and aerobic dance are all great ways to cross-train for running. Weight training also adds the core strength you need to maintain proper running form when fatigued.
- Stretching after running is a good idea. This moves lactic acid out of your muscles as well as stretch some of the complementary muscle groups that aren't used as much during running.

Help choosing Custom ROM for tablet.
Hi there everyone.
I'm having a bit of a dilemma choosing a ROM to install on my tablet. I have a Kross M742 running Android 2.3.4 (Already Rooted thanks to Gingerbreak), and I'm having a hard time finding a ROM to use. I have heard of CynogenMod, but I see they are all specific (mostly) to models of phones/tablets.
So is there any specific one I should use for this tablet? - 02-16-2013, 01:22 PM #2
Re: Help choosing Custom ROM for tablet.
You're right that ROMs are device specific - a ROM made for one tablet will not work on a different tablet. Usually, the more popular a device, the more ROMs available for that device. As you seem to have a non-mainstream tablet, it might be difficult to find developer support for it.
- 02-16-2013, 02:02 PM Thread Author #3
Re: Help choosing Custom ROM for tablet.
I've found that out at least the hard way. There is no trace of Kross anywhere I've looked, so no official device support either. I just want to see if I can do any kind of upgrades or other Custom OS installs aside from different Launchers. I figured that it'd be safer to use the tablet to try on instead of my Samsung Galaxy S2X, just due to not wanting to brick my phone, and Samsung should be rolling out the Jellybean update to it within a month.
Is there any ROM that would be suggested to try out?Last edited by RedMageX; 02-16-2013 at 02:51 PM.

Stay Informed Knowledge is power! CanWEA delivers news on the latest developments in the Canadian wind energy industry. Learn more.
Did you know? A passion for the issues surrounding global warming has brought Canadian super model Neve Campbell to Calgary to star in Burn Up, an environmental thriller.
WindSight Fall 2013 Conference '13 Highlights
home > media centre > news releases
Wind energy well positioned to play a greater role in helping to address Ontario's greenhouse gas emissions
(OTTAWA) Ontario, June 5, 2013 - Wind energy has helped Ontario make real progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector, according to a progress report released today by the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario that reviews Ontario's progress in reducing GHG emissions. But that progress is threatened over time by significant increases in the use of natural gas to generate electricity, according to "Failing our Future", Environmental Commissioner Gord Miller's 2013 annual report on the progress made in working towards GHG reduction targets outlined in the government's Climate Change Action Plan.
Wind energy has played an important role in reducing GHG gas emissions in Ontario by helping to facilitate the phase out of coal-fired generation in the province. As a non-GHG emitting source of electricity, wind energy has the potential to play an important role in further reducing Ontario's GHG emissions going forward.
The Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) will be an active participant in upcoming consultations to review and update Ontario's long-term energy plan and will advocate for further growth of wind energy in the province. Wind energy has not only been helping the province on the environmental front, it has delivered hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits to local communities, provided new opportunities for the manufacturing sector, and created good jobs for graduates of post-secondary renewable energy programs.
"Ontario's long-term energy plan will need to continue to make GHG emission reductions a priority and wind energy is well positioned to make a significant and cost-effective contribution to climate change mitigation efforts," says Robert Hornung, CanWEA President.
For more information on wind energy's environmental benefits, visit: www.windfacts.ca
About the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA)
CanWEA is the voice of Canada's wind energy industry, actively promoting the responsible and sustainable growth of wind energy on behalf of its members. A national non-profit association, CanWEA serves as Canada's leading source of credible information about wind energy and its social, economic and environmental benefits. In order for Canada to be a world leader in the production of clean wind energy, CanWEA believes we can and must reach a target of producing 20 per cent or more of our electricity from wind by 2025. The document WindVision 2025 - Powering Canada's Future is available at www.canwea.ca.

Herbst has helped the university raise $480 million in its recently completed Passion for the Climb campaign goal, and he has extended that goal in a transformational effort to build the university's financial aid resources by raising $51 million for needy students in the last two years of the capital campaign. He has highlighted the excellence of the faculty and — unlike many peer institutions — increased the number of tenure-track positions in departments across campus. Herbst has also promoted the further internationalization of the campus and helped lead Colgate's effort to provide financial aid to needy students studying overseas. Herbst is currently leading a strategic planning effort that is examining issues critical to Colgate's future. A consultant for the World Bank, the United Nations, and the U.S. State Department, Herbst was recently featured in the New York Times Room for Debate series, and his most recent article, "The Fault Lines of Failed States," was published by ForeignPolicy.com in August 2011. In 2012, he published Africa's Third Liberation: The New Search for Prosperity and Jobs (Penguin) with Dr. Greg Mills. Before coming to Colgate, Herbst had served as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs and professor of political science at Miami University since 2005. He previously held posts at Princeton University, including service as acting associate dean of the Woodrow Wilson School and chair of the university's Department of Politics. Herbst maintains an active research agenda, which focuses on the politics of sub-Saharan Africa, including peacekeeping, how the United States can promote democratic liberalization in Africa and what the international community can do to further economic growth in poor regions of the world. His scholarship has taken him throughout Africa, with significant time spent in Zimbabwe, Ghana, and South Africa. Herbst's book, States and Power in Africa, received the Gregory M. Luebbert Prize for the best book in comparative politics from the Comparative Politics section of the American Political Science Association in August 2001. It was also a finalist for the Melville J. Herskovits Award for the best book in African studies awarded by the African Studies Association. He has served as a consultant to a variety of international organizations and federal agencies, including the World Bank, the United Nations, and the U.S. State Department. He has received two Fulbright scholarships (for work in Zimbabwe and South Africa) and a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation. Born in Jamaica, Queens, NY, Herbst graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University in 1983 and went on to earn MA, MPhil and PhD degrees in political science from Yale University. He and his wife Sharon Polansky, a marketing executive, have three children.

How to Use the Public Hunt Drawing System
- Open and print the Application Cards and use them to complete the application process. Applicants must print the application cards, fill them out and mail them in with a check or money order.
- Select the hunts you want to apply for. You can use the Interactive Drawn Hunt Search to select hunts and fill out the application forms automatically for printing or you can select hunts from the Special Drawing and Regular Permit Hunting Opportunities
The hunt category name and hunt category code is already printed on each application card. Be sure to use the correct card(s) when filling out your application from the booklet. On the application card(s), completely fill out:
- hunt area
- hunt area code
- hunt dates
- all applicant(s) information
If you use the Interactive Drawn Hunt Search, it will help you fill out the application form automatically. Applicants must print the application cards, fill them out and mail them in with a check or money order.
A correctly completed application card must be received at the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's Austin Headquarters by 5:00 p.m. on the deadline day for the concerned hunt category in order to be entered in the drawing. Application deadlines may be found immediately below each Hunt Category title.
Only one application per person in a hunt category (example, Gun Deer Either Sex) will be allowed. In the event two or more applications are received for an individual within the same hunt category, all applicantson those application forms will be disqualified. It does not matter where your name appears on an application form, that is your application for that hunt category. Even if you apply for another area or on another persons application card for the SAME HUNT CATEGORY, EVERYONE on those cards WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
Some hunts within the Gun Deer Categories (Either-Sex or Antlerless/Spike Only) are restricted to Muzzleloaders and/or Shotguns Only or Buck Only or other restrictions. Applicants should read the hunt descriptions carefully and keep this in mind when selecting an area for which to apply.
Only the drawn hunters that pay the required Special Permit fee will be allowed access to hunt areas while hunts by Special Permit are in progress. Other than a non-hunting adult assisting a permitted disabled person, no exceptions will be made for family members or other non-permitted guests.
No substitutions may be made for the persons listed on applications or permits if selected.
The Parks and Wildlife Department retains the right to cancel permits, alter bag limits, or terminate a hunt at any time there is a danger to the general public, wildlife resources, or to the management area facilities. If a hunt is canceled the full permit fee will be refunded and the preference point status of permittees will be reinstated.
You may register by mail using the Application Cards in the back of the Special Drawing and Regular Permit Hunting Opportunities booklet. You may also print and mail in application cards filled out using the Interactive Drawn Hunt Search

► Activated CaMKII recruits CK2 to form a trimolecular complex (GluN2B/CaMKII/CK2) ► GluN2B/CaMKII binding controls CK2 phosphorylation of the GluN2B PDZ ligand (S1480) ► Disruption of GluN2B/CaMKII binding increases GluN2B surface expression ► GluN2B/CaMKII binding drives synaptic GluN2B clearance
Synaptic activity triggers a profound reorganization of the molecular composition of excitatory synapses. For example, NMDA receptors are removed from synapses in an activity- and calcium-dependent manner, via casein kinase 2 (CK2) phosphorylation of the PDZ ligand of the GluN2B subunit (S1480). However, how synaptic activity drives this process remains unclear because CK2 is a constitutively active kinase, which is not directly regulated by calcium. We show here that activated CaMKII couples GluN2B and CK2 to form a trimolecular complex and increases CK2-mediated phosphorylation of GluN2B S1480. In addition, a GluN2B mutant, which contains an insert to mimic the GluN2A sequence and cannot bind to CaMKII, displays reduced S1480 phosphorylation and increased surface expression. We find that although disrupting GluN2B/CaMKII binding reduces synapse number, it increases synaptic-GluN2B content. Therefore, the GluN2B/CaMKII association controls synapse density and PSD composition in an activity-dependent manner, including recruitment of CK2 for the removal of GluN2B from synapses.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - If West Virginia's 30-21 upset of then-No. 11 Oklahoma State last Saturday did nothing else it served to illustrate just why Clint Trickett is the most effective quarterback the Mountaineers have right now.
Unlike his immediate predecessors, Paul Millard and Ford Childress, Trickett made things happen.
Dana Holgorsen talked at length during August and the first few weeks of the season about the need to have a quarterback who could execute the offense, and both Millard and Childress were light years ahead of Trickett in that regard. Both have been in the system longer - Millard 21/2 years, Childress 11/2 - and Trickett was trying to cram all that knowledge into just a few short weeks.
For that reason, Millard and Childress got the first shots. For the most part, they succeeded in running the system, but not in making plays. When Trickett got his chance, he didn't always run the system the right way, but he made things happen.
In retrospect, it's easy to criticize Holgorsen for failing to recognize that earlier. And he has been criticized. Indeed, throughout the process he would every once in a while admit that Trickett was the most savvy of his quarterbacks and the one most likely to add a spark, but he couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger on using the Florida State transfer because he wasn't yet comfortable with the system.
And if Holgorsen is nothing else, he's a believer in his system.
But Saturday's game also went a long way toward illustrating just what it was that made Holgorsen so uneasy about using Trickett. Given all the new parts in West Virginia's offense (not just at quarterback, but virtually everywhere), Holgorsen wanted someone to execute his system. The only thing worse than having rookies all over the field is having rookies with no structure. The system would at least give them structure, but not unless the quarterback was adept - or at least competent - at executing it.
When a combination of circumstances - ineffectiveness and injury - conspired to leave Holgorsen no real choice but to use the new guy, Trickett showed him that sometimes simple football acumen is better than any set of X's and O's.
Take that, Air Raid.
Holgorsen's thinking, though, is still valid. If Trickett can make plays and make things happen even without an acute knowledge of the system, what happens when he does become comfortable? Trickett still isn't adept at executing it. It can be argued that he's not even competent.
That's not a knock on Trickett, who was smart enough to graduate from Florida State in 31/2 years and seems like one of the most level-headed guys you'll ever find. But even more than any X's and O's, what has always made Holgorsen's offense so good is the communication between the quarterback and the sideline. It's constant, perhaps more so than in any other offense in football. If that communication isn't just right, the whole thing risks blowing up.
That's always what made Holgorsen uncomfortable about Trickett and willing to sacrifice skills and intangibles for smooth communication.
"There were times in the game when I signaled a play to him and he looked at me like I was from outer space,'' Holgorsen said. "That's when I threw my fits. It's just frustrating. It's like communicating with someone who speaks a different language.

Actus Primus. Scœna Prima.
Flourish. Enter the Tribunes and Senators aloft And then
enter Saturninus and his Followers at one doore,
and Bassianus and his Followers at the
other, with Drum & Colours.
¶NOble Patricians, Patrons of my right,
¶And Countrey-men, my louing Followers,

¶Princes, that striue by Factions, and by Friends,
¶Ambitiously for Rule and Empery:
¶Know, that the people of Rome for whom we stand
¶A speciall Party, haue by Common voyce
30In Election for the Romane Emperie,
¶Chosen Andronicus, Sur-named Pious,
¶For many good and great deserts to Rome.
¶A Nobler man, a brauer Warriour,
¶Liues not this day within the City Walles.
35He by the Senate is accited home
¶From weary Warres against the barbarous Gothes,
¶That with his Sonnes (a terror to our Foes)
¶Hath yoak'd a Nation strong, train'd vp in Armes.
¶Our Enemies pride. Fiue times he hath return'd
¶Bleeding to Rome, bearing his Valiant Sonnes
¶In Coffins from the Field.
¶And now at last, laden with Honours Spoyles,
45Returnes the good Andronicus to Rome,
¶Renowned Titus, flourishing in Armes.
¶Let vs intreat, by Honour of his Name,
¶Whom (worthily) you would haue now succeede,
¶And in the Capitoll and Senates right,
50Whom you pretend to Honour and Adore,

¶Bassia. Tribunes, and me, a poore Competitor.
¶Cap. Romanes make way: the good Andronicus,

¶Thou great defender of this Capitoll,
¶Stand gracious to the Rites that we intend.
100Romaines, of fiue and twenty Valiant Sonnes,
¶Halfe of the number that King Priam had,
¶Behold the poore remaines aliue and dead!
¶These that Suruiue, let Rome reward with Loue:

110Make way to lay them by their Bretheren.
¶There greete in silence as the dead are wont,
¶O sacred receptacle of my ioyes,
115Sweet Cell of vertue and Noblitie,
¶That thou wilt neuer render to me more?
¶That we may hew his limbes, and on a pile

¶Sufficeth not, that we are brought to Rome

So... Speed Racer for the Wii... it's actually great! I was skeptical when it only allowed for the sideways wiimote 'steering wheel' style controls, but they actually work great! Your car slides around the tracks so much anyway, accurate driving is not as important as sheer speed.
A big part of the game is the 'car-fu' aspect... battling the other drivers physically with your car. You can do flips, back flips, jumps, 180 spins, 360 spins, side swipes, corkscrew jumps, etc. lots of moves, and they add up as combos as you're
