Procyclical Leverage and Value-at-Risk
Previous title: "Financial Intermediary Leverage and Value-at-Risk" |
July 2008 Number
338 Revised August 2013 |
JEL classification: G21, G32 |
Authors: Tobias Adrian and Hyun Song Shin The availability of credit varies over the business cycle through shifts in the leverage of financial intermediaries. Empirically, we find that intermediary leverage is negatively aligned with the banks' value-at-risk (VaR). Motivated by the evidence, we explore a contracting model that captures the observed features. Under general conditions on the outcome distribution given by Extreme Value Theory (EVT), intermediaries maintain a constant probability of default to shifts in the outcome distribution, implying substantial deleveraging during downturns. For some parameter values, we can solve the model explicitly, thereby endogenizing the VaR threshold probability from the contracting problem. |

08/10/2007 - Lionel Santibañez is better off because his parents came to America. His father was illiterate and his mother spoke little English when they arrived in Texas from Mexico in 1980. But they sacrificed, saved, and pushed their kids into good schools – and today Mr. Santibañez is a college graduate who works at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston as a scientific editor."Absolutely I've had more opportunity than my parents," he says.Raja Patel, on the other hand, is a second-generation immigrant who worries whether he's lived up to his parents' example. True, he's got a good job as a network engineer for an investment bank in New York City. But his father – who emigrated from India in the late 1960s – was a civil engineer who owned small stores on the side."I'm definitely not doing better financially than my dad," says Mr. Patel.For hundreds of thousands of immigrants to the US, the American dream lives. Their families prosper, with their children becoming more affluent than they were, according to a new report."The American engine of economic assimilation continues to be a powerful force," concludes the Pew Charitable Trust study of immigrant economic mobility.View full article - American Dream Falters.

Cleveland Needs More Stepien Rules
This time its not for the Cavaliers though, its for the Indians. Indians owner Larry Dolan is doing everything he can to allign himself in the history of Cleveland sports right next to the infamous Cavaliers owner Ted Stepien. In trading away back to back Cy Young winners, and slashing salary at any chance he gets, he is running the Cleveland franchise he owns directly into the ground. He will tell you its not his fault. He will tell you that his hand is forced because of the fact that his club is a small market team, and as such, this market cannot provide the dollars needed to be successful. But if you look right across the street, you might see Dan Gilbert waving his One Goal towel around his head calling bull sh*t.
The NBA has a salary cap. Baseball doesn't. What is interesting though, are the dollars Gilbert is spending on his Cleveland team - same small market - with respect to the rest of his league, as well as that baseball team right next door.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have the 3rd highest payroll in the NBA. With the recent off-season moves - signing Shaq for $20 mil ect - on the books, the Cavaliers have a 2009-10 payroll totalling $79,975,195. That payroll is more than the big market cities Boston, New York, Miami, Chicago, and Philadelphia are paying their teams. The Luxury Tax for the 2009-10 season is set at a threshold level of $69.9 million. Which means, for every dollar that Gilbert pays over that level (in his case $10 mil) he has to pay dollar for dollar to the NBA in accordance with the tax. That means esssentially, that Gilbert's payroll can be figured at $90 million. $80 mil in payroll, $10 mil in luxury tax.
Larry Dolan - the brokest cat on Wall Street - now has the Indians payroll sitting at $59,294,641 with the shedding of Cliff Lee's (bargain basement) contract of $9 million. That total ranks the Indians as the 27th highest payroll in the MLB, ahead of only San Diego, Florida, and Pittsburgh. Dolan's payroll is calculated based on the salaries of his 21-man active roster. Gilbert's payroll is figured on 15. Despite that, Gilbert is paying out $30 million more than Dolan.
The Yankees are paying over $207 mil for their roster. But this isn't about the Yankees. Its about Cleveland. If the Cavaliers payroll - including the luxury tax - of $90 mil was compared to other non-salary capped MLB payrolls, the Cavaliers would have the 13th highest payroll in the baseball, just ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals, and just behind the Chicago White Sox.
What this means are a few simple things. Dan Gilbert should be viewed in this town for being maybe the best owner we have ever seen. Larry Dolan should be viewed as one of the worst. It also means that if the Indians matched the $90 million that the Cavaliers paid out, they might be half decent. Except they don't, and they're not. Lets go Cavs.

In partnership with Municipal Development Partnership (MDP) West, UN-HABITAT is implementing a Cities Alliance project aiming at drawing up a City Development Strategy and a local Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) for three medium- sized cities (Banfora, Bobo-Dioulasso and Ouahigouya), based on ECOLOC, a programme jointly launched by Club du Sahel and Partnership for Municipal Development (PDM) to assist local authorities to boost their local finance and economy. UN-HABITAT's technical assistance is aimed at strengthening the capacities of the three municipalities to formulate and implement poverty alleviation programmes at the local level. While MDP is implementing a component on the local economy, UN-HABITAT is responsible for the training of local leaders using manuals developed by UN-HABITAT's Training and Capacity-building Branch. The main objective of this joint project is to strengthen the capacities of local authorities and to develop a national training strategy.

Telerik's Kendo UI controls are efficient, client-side controls for web pages that are built on top of JavaScript/jQuery. The control suite includes all the usual suspects, i.e. grid, calendar, drop down lists, navigation controls (tab strip, panel bar, menu), tree views and windows. You may be a web designer, JavaScript/jQuery programmer or perhaps happier programming on the server-side. Stay tuned, because each development style has its own approach for creating Kendo UI controls.

It's best practice to declare all variables at the top of functions. Why? In JavaScript, a variable can be used before it is defined. JavaScript automatically hoists every var declaration to the top of the function. Take a look at this example where variable "volume" is declared after its used in a logging statement:
"Volume is "
+ volume);
volume = 1;
// outputs "Volume is undefined"
The log prints "Volume is undefined", exactly the behavior you'd expect for a declared, but uninitialized variable. While the declaration is moved ...

Expression Blend 4 makes invoking a Command, drag-and-drop simple. Working in Expression Blend 4, I have a project with a "MyCommand.cs", "MyViewModel.cs" (both from the Using Commands and MVVM blog project) and an unbound button on the main form:
In Blend, click on the Assets tab and select the Behaviors item in the list. The list contains both "Actions" and "Behaviors".
Silverlight differentiates between "Actions" and "Behaviors". Actions use "Triggers" (e.g. events, storyboard state changes...) to initiate commands, property changes or some other outcome. For example, a mouse Click event can trigger a command execution. "Behaviors" are similar to ...
To separate business action logic from presentation in a Silverlight app, you should be using commands. The logic for "Save Document" or "Post Invoices" really has no place in the page code behind, and certainly doesn't need to show up twice when invoked from both a button and a menu. Commands encapsulate logic for some business action, e.g. "Save Document". that can be bound declaratively in XAML. Commands also fit neatly into the MVVM pattern where the command itself lives in the ViewModel.

By the time I found the handy JavaScriptSerializer class, it had been introduced, deprecated and brought back from the hellish purgatory where Microsoft keeps objects that have outlived their usefulness.

I was in charge of respiratory protection at one facility. These n95 masks should never be used for anything like asbestos. You need half (pictured with hepa stacked with organics filter) or full face silicone respirator masks with hepa filters. Those masks require you to be clean shaven and proper fitting. Any paper mask provides only rudimentary filtering. They should not be used when exposure to anything really hazardous is likely. In our case people were handling very large bulk shipments of quartz, with a lot of crystalline silica dust. Another good use of these is for welders to avoid welding fume... they make full face welding respirator masks too. You can even get them powered to make it easier to breathe with the added cooling benefit of the air flow.
Same idea if you are using other materials, but you may need to attach other replaceable filter types to the mask, like filters for organic vapours (real meaning of organic in science) etc.
For really hazardous conditions in other areas, we used supplied air on backpack for short duration, and with remote supplied air (racks of very large tanks of certified breathing air) for long duration... With full safety suits when required.

If they wanted to do something really good, they'd stop off shoring all the work going into making their devices (which they lock you into), and create jobs for people in the country that buys most of their goods, and whose whole cultural and economic system allowed the company to come into being. Of course their whole client base is more concerned about being 'cooler than the next person' which includes the latest cause de jour. In this case the environment. Who really gives a fuck about the unemployed when you can get your Chinese made bling? I don't like any company off shoring, but I really hate companies that make phony news stories in a spasmodic bowel like cynical spout espousing their so called pile of bullshit beneficence.

I can't resist. You can change this paragraph to the one below, and it will still be true:

This 2,300 square foot private lakefront cabin has three levels, year round lake view and access to a community boat launch. Located in the South Fork area (Garland Bend) of beautiful Lake Cumberland, you can see the lake year round from most rooms in the house. Its location is quiet and peaceful with lots of blooming trees, shrubs and plants.
This property is in Burnside, KY with fantastic water access from the rear of the cabin. What do you get when you rent from us? You get private use of the cabin, boat parking and access to the lake - complete with steps to get you down to the water. From the rear of our cabin, there is a short meandering trail down to the lake which is perfect for swimming in the cool clear water. Plenty of decking to sit outside the cabin and watch the boats go by. We're that close to the lake! You'll be challenged to find a more inclusive rental - located just outside Burnside, about 3.5 miles off highway 27.
Lakefront Cabin Has Family Vacationers In Mind: This cabin comes fully equipped with just about everything you need for a perfect vacation. All you need to bring are clothes (don't forget your swim suit), groceries (if you want to eat in), and yourself (of course). Our cabin has just about everything else. Your memorable experience will begin as you walk in the front door into our tastefully furnished and decorated vacation home.
Our family rented many Lake Cumberland cabins and we know what vacationers want - a place that is memorable; a place to want to come back to! We now have our own property and we'll share it with you - knowing that you want the same amenities as us! Sorry, no smoking or pets allowed - no exceptions.

This level has all wooden natural hickory flooring, a cooking island for the chef and game table for a round of cards, backgammon or chess. A professional size billiards table is set up and the cue ball is ready for that ''break'' shot! For the movie watchers, we have a 42'' flat screen television and lots of DVDs.
Upper level: This level has two peaceful bedrooms, each with its own television.
Bedroom #1 has queen bed; Bedroom #2 has bunk beds - twin top & full bottom. These bedrooms share a full bathroom.
Lower Level: Master bedroom has king bed; large two person jacuzzi tub in bedroom overlooking the lake; master bathroom with shower. A television is in the armoire - to catch up on the news as you settle in for the night. Also attached to the master bedroom is an enclosed cedar sun room to sit and read, listen to music or gaze out at the lake.
Don't hesitate to call or email us. We'll be glad to answer any questions you may have.
Our family fell in love with Lake Cumberland the very first time we visited Kentucky...
So, in 2007 we purchased this cabin in Burnside, KY. It's located on the lake, complete with access steps to the water, community boat launch and boat parking. We love our cabin so much, we'll share it with you! Be our guest for a few days or a week. Take a look around this web page and call us to answer your questions.
What's amazing about our cabin? It's the access to the water off our back yard. We have private access to the lake - complete with steps to get you down to the water. From the rear of our cabin, there is a short meandering trail down to the lake which is perfect for swimming in the cool clear water. You'll be challenged to find a comparable listing for rent.

So you want to become anorexic but don't know where to start? I was in this position a few years ago trying to lose as much weight as possible. Every time I saw a plate of food I would look at it in disgust thinking how could I even think of eating. I was overweight at the time and stuck in this endless trap.
How can i survive without eating was what I thought to myself? The struggle was non-stop over the next 5 years. I tried it all from sucking ice cubes to quell my hunger and going on a lettuce/tomato diet. The problem was I was always hungry. How can a person become anorexic if they cannot stop being hungry. I ended up doing some research on appetite suppressants- only natural not artificial. I came across a natural appetite suppressant called Garcinia Cambogia.
Anorexia dieting is a becoming a large phenomenon as almost everyone wants to become skinny. What is more beautiful than a thin women? It is unfortunate that many women and men go through such a struggle to lose weight when there is a much easier way.
For 5 years I had the anorexia mindset until I started using garcinia cambogia- a natural 100% safe appetite suppressant. To read more about how to become anorexic with garcinia cambogia click here. Garcinia Cambogia made me feel good about my body and it made weight loss much easier since I was never hungry.
Before using the supplement I could never lose weight no matter what I did. I always looked fat in the mirror and could never get that perfect appearance that I wanted. Now my body is beautiful and slim. I can rock any kind of clothing now and my friends are always asking me how I am so thin. I just tell them it takes a lot of hard work but really it is all thanks to Garcinia Cambogia.
Garcinia enabled me to become anorexic fast and in one month I had lost an unbelievable amount of fat. It is nothing short of a miracle and was the solution to stop my hunger. You should see results within the first week or first two weeks (as was the case with me)
Thankfully now I can say goodbye anorexia and hello Garcinia!

For Now and the Future
Pool at Kandle Park. Tacoma, Washington
Kandle Park & Pool | Tacoma, Wash.
Benjamin Benschneider
Kandle Park & Pool | Tacoma, Wash. (description A)
The wave pool at Kandle Park & Pool in Tacoma, Wash.,— the first in the county and one of a few in the state of Washington — features 120 linear feet of zero-depth beach area for accessibility. The machines produce up to 3-foot waves in multiple configurations, yet imitating the ocean isn't the sole purpose of this attraction. Instead, features such as a dumping bucket, the "fumbling five," and water cannons were included to engage those not looking to hang 10. The pool also hosts swim lessons and off-hours lap swimming, which take place in four 25-meter lanes placed in the deep end.
Kandle Park & Pool | Tacoma, Wash. (description B)
The circular "Tot Pool" is not only accessible to little ones, but also versatile. The zero-depth perimeter gradually descends to 12 inches, and low-impact waterfeatures, such as geysers and a cascading water toy, offer small children a safe, calm environment. When the larger wave pool is closed, the Tot Pool can be drained and function as a spraypark for older kids.
Kandle Park & Pool | Tacoma, Wash. (description C)
Andrew Buchanan
Despite a 9-foot elevation change on the site, minimal grading was needed due to careful placement of the pool. A chamber holding the wave-generating equipment was tucked below a viewing platform at grade, which ramps down to the pool's zero-depth entry. Because the facility is located on a busy street, the designers placed support buildings and landscaping to shield patrons from traffic and parking.

Thinking ahead, the team fashioned the complex for sustainability and future additions. Buildings are made of structural insulated panels to reduce heating and cooling loads, and skylights in the restrooms and changing rooms reduce lighting demands. Toilet partitions are made from 100 percent recycled material. The roofs are covered with solar reflective shingles. Sustainable site features include permeable pavers, large rain gardens and native vegetation.
Facility managers hope to add features such as a lazy river, slide and meeting room in the future. To accommodate these future plans, the facility was designed with empty electrical conduits and water piping that extends to the expected site of the future features. Additionally, pool pumps were chosen based on anticipated loads.

Life Looks to Headlee Up Front |
Clubs - Top Club Leagues |
Lock Chris Headlee and his big head of hair was sent high to take the ball, which he claimed cleanly, and Headlee then set up the maul. The Life forwards slipped a little, and it looked like the entire operation was going to fall down. Headlee, though, grabbed his teammates, kept the maul upright, and from there Life scored a try. That's Headlee in a nutshell, and the Montana native is quietly leading the Running Eagles through gutsy, unselfish play. "I've always been a grinder," said Headlee. "Get around the field, do the dirty work. Get you head in the rucks and make plays on defense. In the maul like that, if you're the guy who gets the ball you're facing backwards and looking at everyone else set it up, so it's your job to make sure everyone is together. That's all I did." Headlee started playing rugby in Montana when he was 22, and was recruited by a friend to go to Life and play rugby. He has slowly become one of the most respected players in the Super League. And in doing that he has helped Life to its status as one of the most respected clubs in the league. "I think we go into every game feeling confident," Headlee said of the 4-1 Running Eagles. "We have made some mistakes, and little errors in all our games. For the most part we've been able to scrap our way back. We lost to NYAC because we made mistakes and they are very good at putting points on the board when you do." Life Head Coach James Isaacson has not been happy at how his team has been a little risky with possession. "You have a balance to strike, with being conservative and trying something," said Headlee. "You do not want to risk something and cause a turnover." So on to more serious things – the hair. Headlee has one of the more distinctive hairstyles in the game. He has a big head anyway, and on top of that is a mane of leonine standards. "I started growing it about two years ago," Headlee said. "I haven't cut it since. I guess the plan was to cut it when we won a Super League title. Don't know if it's going to end up like that. I am getting my DC [degree] soon, so I guess I will have to do something about it then." Until then, the hair stays and helps make Chris Headlee one of the most intimidating presences in the game. |

Firefighter, police officer hurt saving historic home, but barn destroyed
"It was a hell of a save," Durham Fire Chief Corey Landry said.
Firefighters from more than a dozen communities - including many who fought a fire in Portsmouth only hours before - protected the historic home at 4 Smith Park Lane. The fire destroyed a barn and a large breezeway or addition connected to the home, the chief said.
Landry said a police officer suffered a leg muscle injury that could keep him out of work for weeks.
A firefighter slipped and fell, suffering a back injury and a concussion.
"I think the helmet saved him," said Landry, who expects the firefighter back to work by midweek.
The injured were taken to the hospital and later released.
Landry said one wall of the home was damaged. Landry didn't have a dollar estimate for the damage. He said antiques were stored in the barn, but wasn't aware of any animals that lived there.
Durham firefighters were at another fire scene at 20 Main St., when the call came in about 3:30 p.m. for the barn fire. Firefighters heard exploding propane tanks in the barn, which collapsed in the fire.
The state Fire Marshal's Office and local authorities were working to determine the fire's cause.
The Durham Community Church opened its doors to provide bathrooms and warmth for emergency responders.
Durham and University of New Hampshire police helped with traffic and crowd control.
Fire apparatus and manpower from Dover, Lee, Madbury, Exeter, Portsmouth, Pease, Nottingham, North Hampton, Stratham, Newington, Somersworth, Rochester, Newmarket, Barrington and Rollinsford. South Berwick, Maine, helped with station coverage.

Career in Armed Forces
Former U.S. Marine Corps Lietenant Colonel Oliver North was born in San Antonio, Texas. He trained at the U.S. Naval College, Annapolis, and during the Vietnam War led a counter-insurgency marines platoon, winning a Silver Star and Purple Heart. Appointed a deputy-director of the National Security Council by President Reagan in 1981, he played a key role in a series of controversial military and security actions.
Scandal and Aftermath
Implicated in the Irangate scandal, involving the supply of arms to Iran in exchange for U.S. hostages, and the operation of a secret slush fund to aid the Contra guerrillas in Nicaragua, he was forced to resign in 1986. Found guilty on three of 12 charges arising from the affair, he was given a three-year suspended jail sentence, and fined $150,000. In 1990, the three convictions were set aside, and he was cleared of all charges in 1991. He heads a political action group, V-PAC, and gives radio broadcasts.

What kind of condition are 4 or 5 grade used electronics from Cowboom? Seems everything is described as having significant, heavy, or some extreme amount of scratches at top doilar prices.
We had iPad generation 1 for my little Princess with grade level 6 and it was like new (except non-existing charger, earphone etc which was fine as it was posted like that and we were fine). Now I am looking for iPad 3 for mom but the "/notescomments" does not really give you much as it were. If you can find grade 6, that would be perfect. Many of my friends say grade 5's are really good too.
Now some marked as Grade 5 and it states it has major scratches due to removal of engraving at the back (and goes on like "otherwise functions well")... That's it, no comment on the front look etc. If it is only the engraving removal, I would be perfectly fine since it'll be in a case anyway... Last edited by ysert; 02-25-2013 at 12:15 PM.. |
you jailbreak, then download mxtube as well as ifile from cydia (like the app store, but for jailbroken apps). Those two programs allow one to download and save youtube videos and put them onto a 32g SD card, and that's the external memory storage. you can't access apps directly from the card, but you CAN play videos and music directly from the card (used to have to transfer the video from SD card, to ipad, then play, then discard, but not anymore, it seems.) Mxtube is just a donation, and ifile is, I believe, $4 or $5, and well worth it. 16g is barely enough space for apps, let alone pictures, videos, and music. |

If you're a cheery person, you may have your DNA to thank. Researchers from the London School of Economics and Political Science found that people tend to be more satisfied with their lives if they possess a version of the 5-HTT gene that is more efficient at transporting the mood-boosting neurotransmitter serotonin.

The new beating heart of campus
The transformation was astounding and instantaneous. The moment the doors opened on
December 1, the Queen's Centre became the hub of student life and what's being called …
"The new beating heart of campus"
Slide show photos by Bernard Clark
If ever there were any doubts about the need or demand for an updated campus-life facility, they were swept away the moment the doors of the 45,000-square-metre Queen's Centre swung open. It was six am on the morning of December 1, and more than 100 students already were lined up in the cold and the dark to get in. By the end of that first day of operations, 10,000 people had passed through the main doors. And the crowds haven't stopped coming.
Principal Daniel Woolf put it well in his remarks at the January 15 official opening ceremonies, when he observed, "The Queen's Centre has transformed the campus and campus life. This complex integrates academics, sports, and recreation, and student- and community-life. The hallmark of Queen's has always been excellence in education combined with the broader learning experience out of the classroom. Finally, we have the sport and student-life facilities that do justice to the whole Queen's experience."
I saw the Queen's Centre on December 5, before the building even opened, and I purchased a membership that same day. It's a fantastic facility. It's the new beating heart of the university."
Don Bayne, Arts'66, Law'69, EMBA'01, Ottawa, ON (Board of Trustees, Football Hall of Fame Member)
Construction of the $169-million facility – the biggest, boldest, and most ambitious capital project in the University's history, – began with a March 2007 groundbreaking ceremony. Work continued apace for the next 33 months, with as many as 400 workers on site at times. The streets around the building site sometimes looked and sounded like a war zone – blasting for the building's foundations, which extend three storeys into the Kingston limestone, continued throughout the summer of 2007. In the end, it was all worth it.
The now-completed complex is now the pride of Queen's. It includes a 38-metre swimming pool; a main gym with seating for 2,500 spectators; team rooms; squash and racquetball courts; fitness, cardio, and weight-training rooms; a food court; a doubled-in-size Common Ground coffee shop; club and meeting rooms; a new School of Kinesiology and Health Studies; and more facilities too numerous to mention.
What an amazing facility, not just for Queen's, but for the entire Kingston community. During our Kingston Alumni tour I was in awe. I can't wait for the Branch to host an event at the Queen's Centre!"
Sue Bates, Artsci'91, QUAA Kingson Branch President
Did You Know ... ?
The ARC
The nickname for part of the Queen's Centre – which you'll see printed in large letters on the back of the equipment counter-issue t-shirts that patrons wear in the facility's exercise and recreation areas – is ARC. (As in, "Are you going to the ARC today?")
The acronym is nothing clever or mysterious; it stands for "Athletics and Recreation Centre."
"When we first began to dream about the Queen's Centre, I asked George Hood [Artsci'78, MPA'81, the former Vice-Principal (Advancement)] to research the leading facilities in North America," recalls former Principal Bill Leggett, LLD'04. "When he told me what he'd found and offered his suggestions on what we should build here, I was excited."
What Leggett especially liked was the boldness of Hood's vision, which meshed with that of the institution. "Queen's has always sought to inspire its students to believe in themselves and in Canada, to aim high and not be afraid to shoot for the stars," says Leggett. "We've done that with the Queen's Centre, and I think we've succeeded. It really is a spectacular facility and it will serve Queen's and its commitment to the broader learning environment for many years to come."
Inspired by Tradition, Built for the Future
In March of 2007, I spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony about the vision of the Queen's Centre. It is the embodiment of what Queen's wants for all its students – a holistic learning experience that develops mind, body, and spirit.… As a Queen's alumnus, I'm so proud of these facilities, which will ensure the fullest Queen's experience for today's students, and the Queen's community, for many years to come.
"This is truly an amazing building. It is both inspired by tradition, and built for the future. The stone exteriors of the Jock Harty Arena as well as the Frost wing of Gordon Hall were recovered and used on the façade of the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies.
"The Queen's Centre is built to LEED-standard certification, representing Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design and reflecting the University's long-term commitment to responsible stewardship. The Centre uses 29 per cent less energy and more than 30 per cent less water than a standard building of similar size and nature.
Dr. Andrew Pipe, Arts'70, Meds'74, LLD'01
Trustee, Chair of the Queen's Centre Executive Committee,
Opening Ceremonies, January 15, 2010
"A Truly Collaborative Venture ...."
The Alma Mater Society (AMS) took a leadership role in contributing funds for the Queen's Centre. Its $25.5-million commitment over 15 years is the largest by a student group in Canadian history. This financial support by the AMS and the students of Queen's, is an amazing commitment and a staggering gesture of generosity. On the other hand, it is indicative of the true Queen's spirit, and the sense of tradition that is integral to this university. Just as they have benefited from the contributions of others, Queen's students know that they will play an important role in the lives of the students that come after them. In total, so far, there have been hundreds of contributors to the Queen's Centre, making this a truly collaborative endeavour.
Principal Daniel Woolf speaking at the official opening of the Queen's Centre, January 15, 2010

eMusic raises prices as it signs Sony deal
Music subscription service eMusic has always puzzled me. While it was the first site to offer DRM-free downloads, I never downloaded enough music to justify paying even the lowest subscription rate. The fact that it makes you navigate a long sign-up screen and enter a credit card number before showing you the song selection and other features of the site--even if you just want a free trial--drives me nuts. But despite my skepticism, the site has some big fans among voracious consumers of indie music.
Judging from the angry comments on the site's message board, some of those … Read more

United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg Announces A Pilot Project Grant Funded By The Office On Violence Against Women To Cross-Designate Tribal Prosecutor In Nebraska
OMAHA—United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced today that Nebraska has been awarded a pilot project grant by the Office of Violence Against Women to address the high domestic violence rate against Native American women. In collaboration with the Winnebago Tribe, a grant will be awarded providing for a cooperative agreement to hire a prosecutor to pursue violence against women cases in both tribal and federal courts.
The goal of the Tribal Special U.S. Attorney (SAUSA) program is to train eligible prosecutors in federal law, procedure and investigative techniques to increase the likelihood that every viable criminal offense is prosecuted in tribal court, federal court or both. The program enables prosecutors to bring violence against women cases in federal court and to serve as co-counsel with tribal prosecutors on felony investigations and prosecutions of offenses arising out of the Winnebago, Omaha and Santee Sioux reservations.
"We know that violence against Native women has reached epidemic proportions," said Deborah R. Gilg. "Restoring safety for Native women requires the type of sustained cooperation between the federal and tribal justice systems that we anticipate in our innovative pilot tribal SAUSA project."
Through this special initiative, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) will support salary, travel, and training costs of one tribal SAUSA, who will work in collaboration with the U.S. Attorney's Office in the District of Nebraska as well as the three tribes. The tribal SAUSA will maintain an active violence against women crimes caseload, in tribal and/or federal court, while also helping to promote higher quality investigations, improved training, and better inter-governmental communication.
The Tribal SAUSA Pilot Project was largely driven by input gathered from the Department's 2009 Tribal Nation Listening Session on Public Safety and Law Enforcement, and its annual tribal consultation on violence against women. The Tribal SAUSA initiative is another step in the Justice Department's on-going efforts to increase engagement, coordination and action on public safety in tribal communities, and represents a partnership between the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), the Executive Office of US Attorney's (EOUSA) and the US Attorney's Office in Nebraska.

Ryan Madson has to have Tommy John surgery. Luckily, he signed with a Dusty Baker-managed team as the trainers have a lot of experience diagnosing busted arms. Sean Marshall will likely take over the closing gig, spurring indie comedy fans in Cincy to bring Sean Of The Red signs to games. Best case scenario: Marshall goes the whole season with the job, continues to rack up a 9+ K-rate and 40+ saves. Most realistic scenario: Dusty brings Marshall into the ninth inning of a tie game and, as the two teams battle scoreless inning after scoreless inning, Marshall stays in the game for another 16 innings and throws 450 pitches. 125 of those pitches he kicks over the plate Hacky Sack-style because his arm is too tired. Then Masset and Aroldis end up getting 5-7 saves each and Marshall ends the year with 30+ saves and an ERA around 3.50. Most likely scenario involving dolphins: Marshall falls asleep on a raft and wakes in Barbados. With the phone lines down due to a tropical storm, he befriends the local innkeeper, Teronimo, who teaches him how to surf. But Teronimo has a hidden secret — Marshall is really his nephew that his brother asked him to watch over. When Teronimo reveals his secret, there's a giant rift between Marshall and Teronimo that is only assuaged by the sight of dolphins. No matter the scenario, grab Sean Marshall immediately. You might've just lucked into a top tier closer for free. Anyway, here's what else I saw in spring training for 2012 fantasy baseball:
Drew Storen – Could start the year on the DL. Davey Johnson made that announcement minutes after he said Storen had no structural issues with his elbow, which came a day after he said Storen needed an MRI, which was minutes after Storen said he couldn't throw, which can mere moments after he was diagnosed with strep throat. Following? Yeah, neither do I. I'm beginning to think some ball clubs need a new HMO. Johnson said Clippard would not see saves, but the team would turn to Henry Rodriguez or Brad Lidge. I'd pick them up in reverse order for saves. When in doubt, go with the guy with experience. And no one has experience blowing leads quite like Lidge. "Nats Fall Off the Lidge" is already written on a Post-It on some copy editor's desk just waiting to go to press. In one league where our innings max is small and our needs for Ks is tall — she says she likes the ocean — we went with Rodriguez. He averages 98 MPH with his fastball and has a 9+ K-rate. If he can keep his walks in check, he could be this year's huge middle reliever breakout.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

One simple change led to a significant, measurable increase in our conversion rates.
For years, at the bottom of every single web page on our web design & internet marketing site was a call to action.
Each one of those calls to action was a unique link that led to our contact form.
"Contact us today for a free consultation."
"Learn how search engine optimization can bring new prospects to your site."
"Move your static website to a content management system."
It was fairly effective, but I wondered if there was a way to remove a step and increase our conversion rates. The simple change we made led to a 50% increase in our website conversion rates.
