Books and movies, no dice.
I wanted to do this with my music and succeeded. First, open iTunes on an authorized computer and sync all your music with iTunes Match. It costs $25 a year for the service, yes.. but with over 5,000 songs, that ain't much. Once you have synced and iTunes Match has found all your music, download the new 256 kbps versions, create a smart folder with just those versions. Convert to mp3. Recreate the smart folder with only the mp3 versions, so as to eliminate any DRM versions of your old music. Click on one, select all, drag and drop to a new "music" folder on your desktop. You now have drm free unlicensed versions of all your old music library in mp3 format. Then de-authorize your computer from the old Apple ID (or use a different computer that is running iTunes witout an Apple ID as I did.) You are free to import and add the mp3s to iTunes under your new/ different Apple ID. Worked for me, but it did take some patience, and time. Well worth it though!

Honestly, I over-complicated it I think. I did it that way because I did not have a standardized format for all my music, it was AAC, max vbr, mp3, a hodge podge and that way simplified the massive task for me.
For you, if you know how to convert your purchased music to mp3 from Apple's drm format in iTunes, you can then export those and add them to the new Apple ID library. But you can't take the originals from one ID to another, plain and retarded simple. lol

In the vast majority of cases (or maybe even all cases), content from iTunes Match isn't DRM-protected. There is no need to convert to MP3 unless you have a very old third-party player that doesn't support AAC.

Ok, your last sentence summed it up for me. I just wish I was able to export my music from my original Apple ID, to my new Apple ID. UGGGG!!

Not like it would be hard for them to do, but so many people would be stealing stuff from loaded accounts. I can understand their trepidation I guess. Sucks to be us lol!

TUCSON, Ariz (Reuters) - An 86-year-old Arizona man who was impaled through the skull with pruning shears in a freak gardening accident was expected to make a full recovery, his doctors said.
Leroy Luetscher dropped a pair of pruning shears while working in his yard in Green Valley, south of Tucson, on July 30, the University Medical Center in Tucson said in a news release.
The shears landed in the ground point downward. When Luetscher bent down to pick them up, he overbalanced and fell face-down on the handle, which punched through his eye socket and went down into his neck.
Luetscher was rushed by ambulance to University Medical Center in Tucson, where a team of surgeons were able to remove the shears, rebuild the eye socket with metal mesh, and save his eye.
"You wouldn't believe your eyes," said Julie Wynne, a trauma surgeon who was part of the team that operated on Luetscher. "Half of the pruning shears was sticking out and the other half was in his head."
An X-ray photograph released by the University Medical Center showed a shadow image of the shears embedded in Luetscher's skull, with the blade resting flush against his forehead.
"You just wonder how the handle of the pruning shears got there. The handle was actually resting on the external carotid artery in his neck," said Lynn Polonski, a clinical assistant professor of ophthalmology.
"We are so happy that Mr. Luetscher did not lose his eye or any vital structures."
All that remains from the July 30 accident is some slight swelling of his upper and lower lids and minor double vision in the affected eye, the University Medical Center said in a news release.
University Medical Center surgeons also operated to save the life of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords in January, after she was shot through the head at a Congressional outreach event in Tucson. Giffords is undergoing therapy in Texas.

One of the great gifts of the yogic path is that it returns us to a life of simplicity, even as we go about our lives in a world of growing complexity. Through practice, we ultimately find the freedom to be who we really are, and allow others do the same.
This was Patañjali's original intention when he penned his legendary sutras. But when a text is over 2,000 years old, important things can get lost in translation. For today's yoga student looking to take their practice "off the mat and into the world," Nicolai Bachman presents The Path of the Yoga Sutras.
By organizing the sutras into 51 core concepts that support the Western student in germinating and blossoming these potent "seed" teachings, Bachman has created a breakthrough tool for integrating yoga philosophy and practice, whatever your level of experience.

How CoverItLive failed users during iPad unveiling
A Steve Jobs keynote is technology journalism's Super Bowl equivalent. And as with the Super Bowl, they're best enjoyed in real time. Thus the healthy growth of the live-blogging platform CoverItLive, which enables journalists to file live reports that are transmitted, as they type them, to their online readers.
The company, started in 2007, has been growing well and winning the support of journalists not just in the technology realm, but in sports, politics, and other fields. It has become the largest live-blogging platform there is. The embedded CoverItLive live blog player is popping up on sites across the Web. (For a sample CoverItLive live blog, see this replay of a Google press announcement.)
But CoverItLive fell apart during the January 27 iPad announcement. Just as the event was getting started, incoming Apple fans were turned away from embedded CoverItLive live blogs on important sites like TUAW, MacWorld, and MacNN. Readers quickly abandoned many of these sites and headed to others, like Gdgt, that were using home-grown live-blogging tools. To stop readers from leaving, some sites, such TUAW, abandoned CoverItLive on the spot and began publishing frequent updates on their standard platforms. Regardless, it appeared to be a disaster for the small live-blogging company.
The Steve Jobs keynote also temporarily overwhelmed other sites, including CNET News and our sister site ZDNet (read what went wrong). CoverItLive competitors include services like Scribble Live and live video services like Qik and Justin.tv.
This was not CoverItLive's first failure during a Steve Jobs keynote. On January 15, 2008, during the MacBook Air announcement, the platform also collapsed. Since then, CoverItLive flourished nonetheless, winning over journalists in other fields, mostly in sports and politics, who started to use the product regularly. And then the tech sites started to come back.
Sites like MacNN used the service to great advantage. Publisher Monish Bhatia says that building his own live-blogging platform would have been too expensive, and that CoverItLive offered a good blend of features. MacNN used it about six times before the recent failure, he said. But, he told me, "I wish they were a paid service." He wanted a contract to fall back on with the company should anything go wrong.
Between the 2008 failure and the recent one, CoverItLive has not had a failure during a major live event. And many of these events, such as President Obama's Nobel Prize acceptance speech in December of 2009, got more live blog traffic (9 million views) than a Steve Jobs keynote had until then.
So what is it about Jobs' keynotes that is so toxic to CoverItLive? And how can the company regain the trust of tech journalists?

This was exactly what I was looking for. Just a little thing : I had to change the XML header from "?xml version="2.5" to ?xml version="1.0" , otherwise Joomla didn't detect a valid xml file and aborted the installation. As I read earlier in the comments that someone had problems for the installation, maybe that was the solution.

Gail Morrison, 76, of Poteau died Friday, Sept. 7, 2012, in Poteau.┬ĀGail was born Aug. 4, 1936, in Red Oak to Alvin and Ila B. (McAlester) Ramer.┬ĀShe was an LPN. Gail was a member of Summerfield Baptist Church and attended Trinity Baptist Church in Poteau.┬ĀShe was preceded in death by her parents; stepfather, Alfred McGowen; husband, Elva L. Morrison; and three brothers, Norval Ramer, Billy Ramer and Johnny McGowen.┬ĀShe liked to cook, shop, travel and take care of people.┬ĀGail loved her family.
One big road test down, one more coming tonight for the Poteau Pirates. The Pirates (1-0), who opened the season last Friday night with a 28-21 road win over the Durant Lions, will have an even bigger test when they travel to meet the Van Buren (Ark.) Pointers at 7:30 p.m. tonight. ŌĆ£Everything about them concerns us,ŌĆØ said Greg Werner, Poteau's new football coach.
BOKOSHE ŌĆö The Arkoma Mustangs and the Bokoshe Tigers will renew not only their LeFlore County 8-man rivalry at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Bokoshe, they will begin the 2012 District C-4 season. Both teams enter tonight's game from different situations. The homestanding Tigers (0-1) lost 48-34 to the Oaks Warriors last Friday night in their home opener, in what was their truly first game-like situation of the season. Tyler Massey, Bokoshe's second-year coach, said he can tell his team is further along than at this point a season ago.
One thing is for sure, the Bulldogs will win tonight's game at McClain Stadium. The Spiro Bulldogs will entertain the Muldrow Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Spiro's home opener. While being home will hopefully give Spiro (0-1) an edge, it still comes down to executing plays on the field. ŌĆ£No matter where you play, you have to go play ball,ŌĆØ said Chris Bunch, Spiro's coach. ŌĆ£You can have the home-field advantage, but you still have to go play. You still have to go block and tackle.ŌĆØ
Last week, the Pocola Indians saw a plethora of passes against Tulsa Regent Prep, but this week they will likely see just the opposite when they travel to meet the Haileyville Warriors at 7:30 p.m. tonight.
CAMERON ŌĆö The Arkoma Lady Mustangs and the Cameron Lady Yellowjackets split Tuesday afternoon's Green Valley Conference softball doubleheader. The Lady Mustangs beat the Lady ŌĆÖJackets 5-4 in eight innings in the opener, but Cameron doubled up Arkoma 6-3 in the nightcap.
We took our boys up to Tower Drive-In Wednesday night for the first National Football League game of the year, the Dallas Cowboys against the New York Giants. When the game came on the big screen, the 1989 version of ŌĆ£Are You Ready for Some Football?ŌĆØ by Hank Williams, Jr. was played Boy, that brought back a lot of memories, and it was good to hear ol' Hank again. The picture was so clear, and we had Poteau's fantasy guru, Cody ŌĆ£AceŌĆØ Repass giving us the play-by-play with updates.
HOWE ŌĆö Mother Nature has once again intervened in the Howe Wood Bat Classic. After the first game of Thursday's slate of action, rain and threatening weather canceled the final three games of the tournament. There will be six games on Friday beginning at 10 a.m. The one game which did take place on Thursday saw the Cameron Yellowjackets rally to down the Howe Lions 10-7. The three games which were postponed on Thursday ŌĆö Leflore vs. Whitesboro, Wister vs. Clayton and Smithville vs. McCurtain ŌĆö will be played at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m., respectively, today.

Although technically still winter, few Memphians expect to see snow in early March. In fact, there have only been 12 instances of one-inch (or greater) snowfalls during the month of March in Memphis history. That being said, however, it is worth noting that the city's two biggest snowfalls occurred in that very month -- one in 1892 and the other in 1968.
In 2008, the biggest snowfall of the season also occurred in March. On March 7th, the city of Memphis received as much as seven inches of snow in some areas. Not only was this impressive for March, it was impressive in general for a city that has an average annual snowfall total of 5.3 inches. What makes this particular event even more incredible is that Memphis saw a high temperature of 57 degrees on the day before!

Ice & Mixed Climbing Video: Petzl Ice Trip to Ben Nevis - Scotland
If there's one place on earth where climbers celebrate the arrival of the next snowstorm, it has to be Scotland. Each winter, pounded by the North Atlantic winds, the Scottish Highlands are plastered by a layer of snow and frost. A Petzl team made up of Martial Dumas, Ueli Steck, Yann Mimet, Mathieu Maynadier, Aljaz Anderle and Erwan Lelann and guided by local Andy Turner, made the obligatory pilgrimage to this temple of frozen ice and cold stone. This video has it all, including a rare sighting of the Loch Ness monster and a Ueli Steck flash (second ascent) of The Secret (X, 10) - the hardest route at the Ben.

Can anyone help me? Thanks from Madrid!!!
The music in this short film
Fri, 24/06/2011 - 17:31 — expédition (not verified)Overall, this was a wonderfully shot climbing film. being from the US, there is nowhere here quite like Scotland. That is another great thing about climbing, the ability to journey to far off places and experience new cultures, terrains, and faces.
The climbers they chose to follow certainly seemed happy to visit Ben Nevis and other Scottish locales for the firs time. Moreover, they showed the joy and camaraderie that climbing has to offer to all those who wish to partake in the challenge.
Songs of the Film

Hamburg Relief
Paterson's works do not deal with the specific. Much rather, they strive for a general approach to representing urban space by employing abstraction and the lack of detail. This is part of a group of works which centre on three cities which were severely damaged during the Second World War: Coventry, Rotterdam and Hamburg. Paterson is interested in the ideal, utopian nature of building designs and the gap that exists between the design and the actual building. In a similar vein, his works are simultaneously 'realistic' and clinically abstract.

PICTURE ROCKS - A Penn Township couple have been charged with cruelty to animals for allegedly ill treating and neglecting two horses, three dogs and a cat at their property, according to court records filed by the local chapter of the Society to Prevent Cruelty to Animals.
Teresa L. Walburn, 45, of 4653 Beaver Lake Road, has been charged with a misdemeanor while her husband, Roger Walburn, 56, was charged with a summary offense. All the animals were seized by the SPCA on Aug. 15 after the agency obtained a search warrant.
The two horses "were emaciated with hip bones, back bones and rib cages all protruding. It appeared the horses had no fat remaining and were living on muscle," humane officer Larry Woltz said in court papers.
While the SPCA took over care for the domestic animals, the horses were now receiving care under the Appalachian Horse Help and Rescue program. The Walburns have been sent summonses to appear before District Judge Jon E. Kemp.

Patient Comments: Torn Meniscus - SymptomsWhat symptoms did you experience with a torn meniscus?
Comment from: lajbk104, 45-54 Female (Patient)
Published: May 21
I have had trouble with my knees since I was 11 degenerative artistes is the diagnosis today, about four weeks ago I was having some right knee pain from a long walk I took the day before. I had to be careful when I went outside as not to step into a dip in the lawn because that made it hurt more. On April 28 I was out in the yard picking up sticks before my son was going to mow and there was a work bench table top that had been in the lawn all winter/spring. I went to drag it off the lawn about 5 feet is all I had to go but when I stepped with my right leg with the weight of the top my right knee just popped I heard it and felt it as my knee buckled under me and down I went. I went to the ER and had to use crutches for 3 days and I had an MRI and I have two tears in my meniscus. I am very limited as what I can do I have to stay off my row machine until I see the ortho doc. Having therapy now and not sure what the doc will say. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I am 18 and about two months ago I jumped off the back of a truck, and when I landed, my knee popped and gave out on me, and for the next few hours, it popped a couple dozen times, after which my knee locked up and I could barely walk for weeks. I've had x-rays done, but I still kept popping it. Each time it pops it takes me longer to get back up. My doctor is certain that I have a torn meniscus, and had me have an MRI now I am waiting to hear back about whether I will have to have surgery or not. Was this comment helpful?Yes
Comment from: Kim, 55-64 Female
Published: May 03
I don't know when I tore my meniscus but believe I have had it for a long time, but was undiagnosed until recently. I coped, with the assistance of anti-inflammatory meds which were the cure all for everything. I am on BP medication and was advised to cease anti-inflammatory medication and take paracetamol as the alternate. My condition is now more pronounced and debilitating. I experience severe burning in the side of my knee, swelling, clicking, locking, unable to walk long distances, limping, inability to twist and turn, unable to go up and down stairs without pain, and a feeling the joint may give way. At night when I am asleep, the pain can wake me. Swimming and using an exercise bike for knee rotation helps relieve symptoms but doesn't cure the condition. I have a referral for arthroscopy and waiting for a hospital booking. Was this comment helpful?Yes
Comment from: brotherlea, 55-64 Male (Patient)
Published: April 04
I'm a 60 year old male and believe that walking fast two days in a row while overweight (220 pounds) caused a torn meniscus. I continued walking during the days that followed, but because I favored the painful knee, probably caused injury to the other knee from overuse. Both of my knees became so painful that I was essentially house bound for a month. I did some research and found that mega doses of vitamin C helps strengthen connective tissue, and mega doses of vitamin B3 (niacin) and niacinamide can reduce and reverse arthritis. I had nothing to lose and after a month, both knees had recovered enough that I returned to walking for exercise. I don't favor having tissue removed from my body over helping a body to repair itself. Was this comment helpful?Yes
Comment from: Jan, 65-74 Male (Patient)
Published: December 27
About eighteen months ago I was on my haunches when I heard a loud crack and at the same time, intense pain in my right knee. A scan showed a torn meniscus and it was treated conservatively with the only result that my knee clicked less often and less painfully. About 2 months ago, I ruptured the Achilles tendon on my left heel, requiring surgery to repair it. I'm on crutches, being unable to use my left foot and that has put major strain on my right knee. I am now at the stage that every time I straighten my knee, it clicks. I also have to make sure I click it before I get up, otherwise it doesn't click back and I collapse. Wish I'd had surgery at the time. I'm sure I need it now. Was this comment helpful?Yes
Comment from: geniusdart, 45-54 Male (Patient)
Published: December 12
I was diagnosed with a torn meniscus and a small cyst in the same area. I can walk for miles and go about my daily routine with no pain whatsoever, nor have I had any swelling. The only time I am bothered is when I stoop down to the ground as in pulling weeds or a similar activity. I have intense pain in my knee trying to stand up using that leg. I have to use my arms to help myself get back up. I am having surgery today and I sure hope it helps. I will let everyone know the results. Was this comment helpful?Yes

Yes, there are more steakhouses... [ Mon Dec 14 2009 10:06 AM ]
...but Gruet was pretty darn good. They also have a sashimi appetizer that was killer. And Paul's is just not the same vibe as Gruet. But we have Marcello's, Savoy, and Rancher's for the over-the-top experience. And Monte Carlo, Paul's, the Brasserie, and several others for just darn good steaks.

Don't forget, the lauded writer Jason Sheehan who penned lovely reviews for the Alibi in the early part of this decade used to be a grill cook at the Range. Yep. It's all in his book - a good read for most foodies, and edge-of-your-seat for his fans. Cooking Dirty, the book.

Louisiana Division/City Archives New Orleans Public Library Sources for Researching the History of Your House (Or Other Building) in New Orleans |
The Chain of Title Search: Conveyance Division, Orleans Parish Civil District Court
Real estate transactions in Orleans Parish (1827-present) are registered at the office of the Conveyance Division (formerly "Conveyance Office") of Civil District Court (1340 Poydras St., 4th Floor). The Conveyance Division's website is www.orleanscdc.com/regcon.shtm.
The Louisiana Division holds microfilm of the conveyance records, 1827-1887; index, 1827-1900 (mf VW420). However, most researchers will need to begin their search in the later conveyances, housed only in the Conveyance Division.
The search begins with a reference to the most recent deed of sale to the property. This information can
be obtained from several sources:
This reference to the most recent deed provides you with an entrance point into the
title search. The reference will be in the form of, for example, "COB 409/FOL 361" where COB
409 refers to volume 409 of the deed books and FOL 361 refers to folio (page) 361 of
that volume. References to more recent sales (beginning in 1989) use the Conveyance Division's "instrument number."
Indexes to both vendor (seller) and vendee (buyer) are available through 1988; indexing is computerized beginning with January 1, 1989.
The initial reference will give:
By repeating the
process with the new COB/FOL and each prior reference, you will develop a "chain" of
title outlining the history of ownership of the property.
In New Orleans conveyances are designed primarily to record the sale
of the land in question. The structures or improvements on the land are generally not very well described. Many early records
merely refer to the land "along with all buildings and improvements." No more
detailed description of these improvements is given. Once the deeds no longer refer
to buildings and improvements, however, you can usually assume that you have
reached a sale dating from before there was any construction on the lot.
You should be careful that you are dealing with the same piece of land from one
transaction to the next. Don't be misled by subdivisions
or resubdivisions of a large piece of property, particularly if the same owner held
several lots within the square. The price paid for the real estate may also provide you
with clues. An identical piece of land with no
improvements that resells in a relatively short period of time for a significantly higher
price quite likely has had a new building erected on it.
You should not skip the chain-of-title portion of the
project. At the very least it will provide you
with the overall
framework of your property's ownership. By working within this framework through all
of the other materials described in this guide, you will not only save yourself time in the long
run, but you will also help to protect yourself from hasty conclusions and other
mistakes that it is all too easy to make when you jump into the middle of a research
project without preparing the necessary groundwork.
Remote access to the more recent records of the Conveyance Office is available through a fee based service. Information can be found on the Civil District Court website at www.orleanscdc.com/remote2.shtm

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
United States Senator Mr. Chairman, Senator Leahy, thank you for calling this important hearing to examine several of the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend today's session as I was previously committed to attend a biotechnology conference with the University of Delaware and the National Institutes of Health, but I would like to offer several observations on the matters before us. The Commission makes several constructive suggestions for the FBI. I agree with all of them. But we should first pause to compliment the work of Director Mueller in this area, as the reforms he has put in place to redirect the FBI towards fighting and preventing acts of terror are largely blessed in the Commission's report. In May, I sat down with Director Mueller and outlined for him my view of the coming debate over the FBI's mission. We discussed the relative merits of the creation of a domestic security force along the lines of the British Security Service, or MI-5. I was impressed then with the Director's grasp both of the problems facing the Bureau, the concerns we both had about the MI-5 model, and the steps we both believed the Bureau should take to better prevent acts of terrorism while remaining the Nation's premier law enforcement agency. In June, in testimony in the other body, the Director outlined his vision for a new intelligence service within the FBI. I had indicated to Director Mueller in our May meeting that this sort of proactive, intelligent approach would counter those then calling for a wholesale creation of a new domestic security agency, and I am gratified to see the Commission endorse the Director's plan in their report. While more clearly needs to be done to reform the Bureau - its information needs to be better shared, its information technology systems still lag woefully behind, and its level of resources needs to be examined so that traditional crime-fighting needs do not go unmet - the suggestions made by the commissioners and the steps taken by Director Mueller are excellent ones. Let me also compliment Asa Hutchinson in the job he is attempting to do at the Department of Homeland Security. We still miss him over at the DEA, but the work he and Secretary Ridge have undertaken is critical to our domestic security. I understand the Undersecretary's testimony today will focus largely on the border security efforts underway in his department; but I want to comment for a moment on the transportation security steps his agency is taking. At the outset, let me say that the Commission's observation that fully 90 percent of our transportation security resources have been dedicated to airline security - and that in so prioritizing we are effectively "fighting the last war", to use the Report's words - is both accurate and startling. I compliment Undersecretary Hutchinson for his efforts to secure the nation's air travel system, but the Administration's efforts on other modes of transportation have been sorely lacking. What are we doing about rail security? Since 9/11, specific intelligence reports and official public warnings have confirmed that passenger rail systems in the United States have been targeted by terrorists. Between 1997 and 2000, surface transportation systems worldwide were attacked 195 times by terrorists. Yet the Administration has requested no new authority to protect rail passengers. Since 9/11, and despite the terrible bombings in Madrid, the Administration has requested no new resources to protect rail passengers. Since 9/11, no new legislative authority to protect passenger rail has been passed by either the House or Senate. DHS has declined to fund Amtrak's priorities for improving security. As best I can tell, the only DHS actions to protect passenger rail in the wake of the Madrid attacks have been two pilot programs for screening passengers, one for sniffing explosives at the New Carrollton station and one for baggage screening at Union Station. A third pilot program will be the design and construction of a single new "smart car" with new security technologies - just one concept vehicle, not immediate actions that could enhance security. Amtrak itself has been historically underfunded - it does not have the funds to undertake substantial security upgrades on its own, and it needs significantly more federal dollars to secure its rails. More people pass through Penn Station in New York City every day than through all three major New York airports. The fact is that Amtrak, carrying just intercity traffic, logs 23 million passenger miles a year. In May of this year, National Journal asked security experts to rank the efforts of the Department of Homeland Security. Rail security came in dead last, with a failing score of 1.6 out of a possible 5. I am well aware that securing the trains is difficult - it is an essentially open system, connected to mass transit and commuter rail systems in every city, and it is unlike the sealed systems we create around airports. But there are obvious, simple, easy and effective first steps we can take to make our rail system much safer: improve lighting; install blast-resistant trash cans; add closed circuit TV cameras; increase public awareness of security threats such as unattended baggage; increase the numbers of rail security personnel. This Administration has chosen to do none of them. In fact, DHS has been shown Amtrak's priorities for improving security, and has declined to fund Amtrak requests for assistance. So when the Commission reports that we are "fighting the last war" when it comes to transportation security, I could not agree more. I also agree with their recommendation that DHS develop an integrated plan to focus resources in a manner to best protect all the transportation modes. It is intolerable that such a plan has not been developed and put in place already, and I call on Secretary Ridge to develop an infrastructure protection plan and submit it to Congress for our consideration within the next ninety days. Finally, let me take a moment to comment on a subject that I understand is not necessarily a topic of this morning's hearing, but one that I fear is getting lost in the debate over appropriate post-9/11 improvements: our state and local law enforcement agencies. The heroes of 9/11 - the New York City cop, the local law enforcement officer - are being shortchanged by this Administration. We have not put one new cop on the street since those terrible attacks. Studies indicate police departments across the country are being forced to lay off officers due to budgetary constraints. The war in Iraq has resulted in the depletion of many cities' and towns' police forces. The President insists upon ending the COPS program, the one Washington-based initiative proven to have helped lower crime rates. Mindless budget cutting at the Department of Justice is threatening our public safety and homeland security efforts, to the point where police chiefs throughout the country have labeled the Administration's plans unacceptable. We should be doing exactly the opposite. We should be infusing a refocused COPS program with new resources, resources to help police department build their intelligence units, add officers to the streets, and in so doing assist the FBI and DHS prevent the next attack. Just yesterday, the Washington Times published an editorial by a Brookings Institute fellow calling for a "COPS II" to efficiently beef up local police anti-terrorism units. I agree with this proposal, and reiterate my call for a dramatic boost in local law enforcement spending so we can truly help our first responders -- our cops on the street -- prevent the next attack. Mr. Chairman, I thank you again for calling this critical hearing. I look forward to reviewing the record of today's proceeding, and to working with you to implement the effective recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. |

This week, Fish Stripes continues the paired series of What Went Right and What Went Wrong with the 2012 Miami Marlins. Today, the topic of discussion is Jose Reyes, the Marlins' biggest free agent signing of the offseason. While Giancarlo Stanton had a monster year while he was in the lineup, Jose Reyes had a pretty regular season at the plate for himself, but he showed the capability to stay healthy all season, which was a questionable aspect of his signing before the 2012 campaign.
It was a rough start to the season for Reyes in April, which is part of the reason why his year went more or less unnoticed, even in Miami. Reyes hit an ugly ,220./.293/.341 (.265 wOBA) in the month of April, yet somehow his struggles were not as magnified as the myriad of other failing Marlins in the month of April. For whatever reason, it seemed other fans did not care that Reyes was struggling at the top of what was supposed to be a loaded Miami Marlins lineup, while Marlins fans either were too frustrated with Giancarlo Stanton, Hanley Ramirez, and Logan Morrison to even notice Reyes.
Whatever the reason was, perhaps it was that very reason that kept Reyes's season-long return to prominence such a quiet endeavor. As we detailed multiple times earlier, Reyes recovered from that slow start month by month.
Reyes. 2012 | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | wOBA |
April | 93 | .220 | .293 | .341 | .265 |
May | 136 | .297 | .378 | .339 | .334 |
June | 117 | .283 | .350 | .472 | .354 |
July | 115 | .292 | .336 | .509 | .365 |
August | 124 | ,298 | .350 | .500 | .359 |
September | 131 | .310 | .359 | .422 | .345 |
Outside of April, Reyes had only one month in which he hit a worse wOBA than his career .345 mark. In the five months after April, Reyes never had a month with a worse batting average than .283 and his worst wOBA month was still nine percent better than the league average this season. After May, Reyes fully reverted back to his old form, complete with power. Remember, he did not even hit his first home run until early June, and since then he was still able to smack 11 homers and post a .179 ISO.
What makes Reyes's season so interesting is just exactly his final numbers correlated well with his career total. His final line of .287/.347/.433 (.340 wOBA) was actually very close to his career line of .291/.342/.440 (.345 wOBA). In fact, when you compare those lines to their respective league averages, you get almost identical wRC+ figures; in 2012, Reyes had a 113 wRC+, indicating a line 13 percent better than the league average, while in his career, his offensive contribution has been 12 percent better than league average.
The way he ended the season was both consistent month to month, with no great slumps or hot months, but also consistent with our expectation of him before the season. From May onward, Reyes hit .296/.355/.446, which was good for a .351 wOBA. That set of 623 PA since May was worth a 120 wRC+, or a line that was 20 percent better than the league average. Well, take a look at the raw averages of these six projections from before the season:
Reyes. 2012 Proj | AVG | OBP | SLG | wOBA |
RotoChamp | .295 | .352 | .449 | .350 |
Steamer | .295 | .351 | .450 | .350 |

Reyes almost exactly matches these projections when you do not take his terrible April into account. For 623 PA of the 2012 season, Reyes hit exactly as Fish Stripes expected at the beginning of the season, and if there were ever an example of a guy clearly showing that fluke months can really hurt the standing of a year, Reyes proved it by being uncanny in his consistency for five sixths of the 2012 season. Not only did his total season line up nicely with his career numbers, but the recovery from his poor month almost exactly matched his expectations going into 2012. In other words, in the end, Reyes put up one of the most dependable and expected seasons of any Marlin in 2012.
Reyes was also once again active on the bases as the Marlins desired. He stole 40 bases in 2012, reaching that plateau for the first time 2008 as well. While his baserunning has never been the same and likely never will be when compared to his pre-2009 seasons, it seems the Marlins' aggressive approach on the bases suits him well enough to play the speed he has displayed since 2010 to its fullest effectiveness.
Some analysts and talking heads took shots at the Reyes signing prior to the season on the grounds that the Marlins were signing high based on his breakout campaign in 2011. When Reyes struggled at the start of the year and never had an amazing run of success, those same folks took shots at how Reyes had, as expected, not done anything special in 2012. But those folks would be wrong, as Reyes had a more than typical year at the plate that was still extremely valuable to the Marlins. The climb back from the whole he dug himself in April in and of itself should be commended.
But perhaps the biggest shot that pundits took at Reyes was about his health. He had put up two seasons in which he had missed at least 30 games due to injury in addition to regular off-time, including his career year in 2011. The year before that, Reyes had missed the entire season with a leg injury as well, and with all of those problems, he had built up a label of being "injury-prone." But for the Marlins, Reyes was a model of consistency in terms of being on the field as well. Reyes made no pinch-hit or pinch-running appearances and missed all but two starts in the 2012 season, showing that in at least one season, his durability was not a concern.
Reyes started in all of the team's double-header games and only missed a game for regular rest and one to rest a sore thumb. His 716 PA lead all National Leaguers and was the most he had recorded since 2008. It was the most any Marlin has recorded since Juan Pierre went to the plate 719 times in 2005. His PA total this season was the seventh year with at least 700 PA and the fifth-most in a single season in Marlins history. Despite leading the NL in appearances at the plate, Reyes also avoided the ignominy of leading the league in outs as well, as he was third in outs made behind Starlin Castro and Jimmy Rollins and only two ahead of Hunter Pence, three players who all hit worse than Reyes.
Reyes's 2012 season ranked fourth among shortstops in FanGraphs WIns Above Replacement (fWAR) and ninth among them in Baseball-Reference Wins Above Replacement.(rWAR). The reason for the discrepancy will be explained later, but a number of big names ended behind Reyes in this list, including Derek Jeter, Erick Aybar, and Alexei Ramirez. The fact that there is some dispute as to just how good Reyes's overall season was iwill be discussed later today, but suffice to say that, as a whole, Reyes's first year has to be considered more than just a #minorvictory but more of a successful debut.

Thats brave of you Carol. Im on 2 Citalopram tablets a day for anxiety and depression, Im not as bad as some poor folk though, mine comes and goes, so there are some good days :-) Its tempting to stop taking them sometimes. Its surprising just how many people do suffer with anxiety, panic, and depression, til people start talking about it, its easy to feel quite alone. |

best thing is to talk openly about it - I've had clinical depression for about fifteen years - hit a real bad patch in 1996 when I tried to top myself with an overdose [massive] of Dothiepin. Woke up about two days later in the poisons unit!!! Thank goodness. It was then that I was diagnosed with clinical depression and medication changed to Effexor [Venlafaxine] I take one a day most days, but if I start feeling a little down I take two a day for a couple of days and I'm fine. Tried to come off them with G.P. help but failed and he told me then, don't worry if you have to take them for the rest of your life, no harm in it at all, so generally I am as happy as Larry - whoever he is!! |

Hi there, me too, Citalopram 40mg a day. I have had depression since age 7 years, but I was in my 20's before I received any treatment for anxiety/ panic attacks. In my 40's I finally crashed from a devastating home incident, non-verbal for a week, and ended up in a psychiatrists office. I recall easily the panic when I found myself outside the door to his office, thinking "I've really hit bottom this time". It was also the best day as he helped me face the fact that this was an ongoing problem, that I had had a childhood depression which had been brushed off as "homesickness" after emigration from Wales, that I needed medication, and I had no reason to feel ashamed. Several times in the last 20 years I have stopped my meds, thinking I am fine now, but it's only a matter of a week or so before I am slipping down fast. I have finally come to terms that I need the medication, and as long as I am taking it, I am living a pretty normal life. I suppose I would have accepted it differently had the diagnosis been diabetes, it took a long time to recognize that taking meds is not a sign of weakness, rather a sign of strength - in admitting there is a problem, taking ownership of it, rather than letting it rule my life. |

I stopped taking anti depressants about 2 years ago after things picked up in my life, gradually n more so recently I'm feeling lower than ever, thinking about going back to see my GP but my OH doesn't think I NEED them. I've recently moved to another part of the country with 1 of my 4 daughters, I've managed to find a job n I have OH's parents around the corner but I'm missing my own family n familiar surroundings so much I feel so lonely even if I'm not alone....if that makes sense. |

Is there a support group in your area where you could go with OH so that he can learn more about the illness.

Suburban 6.5L Turbo Diesel
Hi !
I´ve just bought my Chevrolet Suburban -1997 Turbo diesel , and I can´t get the turbo to charge , only when i pull the westgate tube .
I´ve bought a new " cellunoid " ? and replaced it , still it won´t charge .. I´ve also checked the vakuum tubes and they seems to be fine.
Also when I drive the 4L / 4H and the 2L / 2H switches keep blinking and it makes a wierd noise from the front wheels.
Does anyone have any idea of what the problems can be ??
Sorry for my bad english.
/ Dennis

02-14-2012, 06:00 AM #3I second that..
As to the 4wd problem, the noise and flashing lights indicate there is a problem. with the 4wd solendoids, i would disconnect the front axle solenoid to see if the lights quit flashing. if so then there is a short either in the switch, the wiring, or the solenoid in the front. (usually it is the solenoid)Mike

Thanks for the tips , im going to check it out as soon as i get to the garage !.
02-14-2012, 03:37 PM #5I would delete the vaccum pump and boost solenoid, and install a Heath turbo master wastegate controller.
02-14-2012, 11:31 PM #7^That may be true for some but it works fine for me. I like the fact that I'll never have to install another vacuum pump or boost solenoid.

I rather not get new parts as I live in sweden and parts for USA cars are hard to get, And if u somehow find what your looking for it´ll be doubled the price as it would cost in usa. I got a price from mekonomen ( our local part shop ) on a 5" lift kit , and that would´ve cost about 3200$ for my suburban if I done the work my self. I don´t know how much it would´ve cost to import tho, Does anyone have any idea what the price would be in usa ?.
As regarding the turbo , the vacuum should be enough .
If i pull off the westgate tube isn´t the turbo supposed to get full charge ?
Anyone who has more ideas of how I could get it to charge ?
Maybe the westgate is broken ?
Also I had a thought about the "rods" inside the turbo might be broken so the gate won´t open / close ?

The President of the Bundesbank Lashes Out
- advertisements -
I love all this growth policy talk. The only thing growing is the disaster that's been created.
"It's when a central bank ensures price stability that it contributes the most to durable growth."
Durable... hmmm...
As opposed to exuberant, desirable, targeted or fantasy, I take it...
I read a lot of Paul Krugman and I don't think "Paul Krugman and others who wanted the ECB to print with utter abandon to monetize the sovereign debt of debt-sinner countries, even more so than it has already done." is a fair characterization of Krugman's views on the matter. Maybe I missed something he wrote. I do know that Krugman believes more austerity is doomed to failure. But isn't that obvious by now?
And just how would you characterize Krugman? I think you DID miss something.
Weidmann is just pissed because INTERPOL is crawling up his ass with a microscope. Bundesbank will go the way of Lehman soon enough..... TEE HEE HEE....
Do you see now, Tyler? If ECB prints Germany leaves, Greece can default without exiting the Euro. These people do not want to see a precedent for secession established. The math says we will see a default, but no one is really explaining why a default must result in a Greece exit.
The Greece exit is something conjured up by the commercial banks to "force" the ECB to step up in the case of a default.
Last, if Germany leaves the Euro the world will welcome a new gold-backed Mark with many celebratory cigars!!!
Let me say that I love this man. <3
The purpose for the study of economics is because Empire always comes first...and inevitably "the Empire becomes a spent force." hence movements for "sustainability." Europe is being forced to economize. I happen to believe it is now not possible to be broken up. That doesn't mean the Euro doesn't get annihilated however. I think the Japanese who have posited that the USA is far more of a Roman-like entity (with Europe being the historical equivalent of Greece) may in fact have more truth than I believed. These "endless wars" not only continue (in spite of the USA's bankruptcy) but appear to be "just getting started." this view is surprising to me as it exists nowhere in the American historical record until the past decade. That makes "economists who can sustain an Imperium" very valuable indeed. I've been re-reading my Napoleanic Campaign Histories (of which the logistical side is truly amazing) and pondering British Imperial finance (hint, hint: if it wasn't nailed down it was being used for the war effort.) I happen to believe our current Government En Toto is planning to execute on a massive incursion into Syria.
'Federalism. A toxic word in Europe where each country proudly insists on its sovereignty.'
It hasn't worked so well in the US. That would be like telling Europeans that if you give the banks all of your money and ability to make money we will give you the TSA, DHS, Alciada, GMO, drones, and make debtor slaves out of your children for years to come.
Sounds like they are asking for trouble and going to get it in either case.
Central bank debt schemes collapse as Nationalism ramp continues.
Thank God, a weekend has passed without Rubber Scrota
The real debate is which path leads to sustainable growth
Doesn't exist.
Depends on what scale of time.
If based on human history (so roughly 5000 years), there were paths to sustainable growth for times this scale.
With US citizens and their US citizenism aiming at depletion of resources, well, the spectrum of options is being narrowed fast.
Less and less resources, less and less opportunities of anyother social organization that the ones beget by US citizenism.
US citizenism will prevail cause of shortage of means to support any alternative.
Ahhhh AA or Tyler...... I know you are fucking with us right?
Its almost impossible to grasp how one poster of comments (in this case yourself) can be so wrong in so many ways. You've become a cornucopia of inconsequential fallacies.
If not federalism, why have an EU? As it is, it's little more than a petty regulatory body.
Since the end game is already in play, there is no solution to our predicament. Had we had the foresight and the means to leave the country with some gold in our pocket, we might have had a chance. Alas, it is too late for that now. All we can hope for is stiff resistance and yankee ingenuity.
Ah, sustainable growth - that epic myth - that belies the reality of finite resourses.
Someday this fairy tale will end.
depends on the resources! did you know that the energy of the sunshine reaching the surface of the earth per day is more than enough to satisfy our energy needs for an year ... so yes, there is still some space for sustainable growth. however we need the means to extract this energy and obviously printing the money to pay for it is not enough
wrongo--nowhereman-- compounding of efficiency charts exponential growth in the face of finite resourses-- which belies the validity of your premise
And I say that the compounding of efficiency is no more than theoretical garbage predicated on the fact that humans are "the smartest species to ever walk the planet". Pure and utter bullshit.
People go on about the efficiency and growth which can be obtained. My question is "by whom? By what percentage of the population?" It does not matter if segments of the US or French population can increase productivity when an ever-growing fraction of the population is dependent upon government charity such as Supplemental Security, Food Stamps, Medicare they did not really fund, Medicaid they absolutely didn't fund. The problem is not just how we can grow, but what difference this will make when taxes and redistribution have to grow exponentially to feed the part of the population that doesn't know much of economic value, doesn't have values that lead to productivity, and demands "what is their right." The problems of moving to efficiency, which you can call austerity, are enormous and will cause political upheaval. Physicians are doing well...until the taxpayer screams "enough!". Those on SS and Medicare are doing well, they feel, until their checks and medical coverage are reduced, which they will be. The second that inflation is made the major path to fooling the unaware and the left-out, to kick the can down the road, civil disorder will follow. I note that police, soldiers, and government employees have inflation clauses, so they will certainly be onboard for leaning on others as the new regime's structure is established. The old promises cannot be kept and therefore will not be kept.
It is more complex than that. Our planet is finite that is definietly true, and the exponential function is not applicable to our economic reality. Nontheless there is scientific progress, which represent jumps in history followed by stagnation and regression. Overall the level of technology has increased. Does that equate an exponential growth in technology?, not at all. Does that mean that we are bound at some point?, probably. Does it look like we know all that is to be known about Physics, biology, chemistry etc... at this point? I does not look like it. So overall we are bound to stagnation, with from time to time some jumps, followed by regression, stabilization, new jump etc... Evidently the fact that human beings are made of flesh and bones and are not ideas, means that our existence and expansion will never be limitless.
All very good Herr Richter but It sounds like Weidmann wants his Black Forest cake and eat it too. What, mein freund, is the answer to the question, "Will they or won't they..... priiiiiiiiiit! And when will we know?
France controlled Egypt, the home of cotton, at the start of the 17th entury when indstrialization took off. But the French King got money for selling the monopoly rights to wool clothing in France. Because cotton was seen as competition to wool ad thus underminning the King's revenue, the manufacturing and the wearing of cotton were banned. This explains allot about the English industrialized to weave cotton.
Public policy usually inhibits economic progress because government is a game of allocating spoils. Do you really believe the Keystone XL pipeline was turned down for environmental reasons, or was the huge burst of new oil supply a viceral threat to Exxon and Shell?
BHO is worried the "huge burst of new oil supply is a viceral threat" to his government dictated green energy plans that can't survive with cheap fossil fuels.
Thanks for keeping us well informed.
the president of Bundesbank has to come out with a strategy to save all global TBTF, hocked to their jock straps, uber-banks, if austerity makes the dominoes fall in contagion waterfall. Calling MAid of the mIst...calling... Die Jungfrau sich truben...
but do remember, even if alan blinder didn't say central bankers don't need to be truthful with the public, he did run a survey of central bankers where such a sentiment was ranked dead last.

"Why Nations Fail: the Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty" by Daron Acemoglu, James Robinson; ISBN 0307719219
Two of the world's best and most erudite economists turn to the hardest issue of all: why are some nations poor and others rich? Written with a deep knowledge of economics and political history, this is perhaps the most powerful statement made to date that institutions matter.
the book is bollocks. It forwards the premise "prosperity follows from inclusive political institutions" which is putting the dump cart (politics) ahead of the horse (private sector)
even Adam Smiths "Wealth of Nations" got it wrong assigning wealth to the specialisation/division of labour
No wonder nobody understands the problems when they haven't a clue where wealth comes from and who is destroying it (hint: the political institutions the deluded economists Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson credit with creating it)
have economists or academics ever produced an ounce of knowledge in centuries i wonder
england prospered while france stagnated because it didn't have private or government toll roads so transportation was easier and cheaper. that's kind of a political decision. i realize you are sharper than the rest of the world but perhaps there is a symbiosis between private economic players and governments that you are missing.
england prospered while france stagnated because it didn't have private or government toll roads...
Britain had an extensive system of toll roads ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnpike_trust ) that came to an end because the Brits' railways destroyed their income. ie - england prospered despite having toll roads.
France's big problem were its semi-command economy mercantalism and its extensive monopolies crushing competition ( http://www.libertarianism.org/publications/essays/excursions/monopolies-... )
And having a resident lunatic like Napoleon running around slaughtering both your workforce and potential consumers in his attempts to create an empire didn't help much either.
Actually Britain was the largest common trade area in Europe. I think it was not so much Toll ROADS that you mean so much as Regional Tariffs and protectionism. Britain was an area of free movement and markets without restrictive tolls from regional barons
Thanks for the history lesson BigJim
Napoleon centralised like any good despot but actually had a very tasty (fast) road network built for communications and to move troops but this did not seem to help French commerce much
In contrast England had a thriving merchant class (private enterprise) who built their own trade routes over the seas
all a businessman wants is freedom to do business... this is not helped in any way by a large ignorant expensive bureaucracy demanding taxes on trade and handing out dictates/policies on how to trade (Govt is the most inept, ignorant and unskilled institution in history)
wealth creation (private enterprise) has nothing to do with Govt or any institutions... they just suck and drag on commerce
Just ask Hitler
The Frogs should have "invented" laissez faire when they could. ;-)
doesn't Hollande want laissez faire spending to generate "growth" ?
growth in socialist Govt he means.. we know how that book finishes (it ain't a happy ending)
;-) let me say that even idiocies like socialist spending are a question of degrees... there are some countries that are not socialist and still overspend some 8-10% of GDP. I don't expect France to change much only because they have Hollande as prez.
Ghordius - the only "degrees" of public spending are that all degrees are negative for the economy
Politicians have no understanding of maxmising the use of capital which is why all Govt projects are 3 to 30 times more expensive than private sector spending, usually mis-directed on the wrong project (ie. pissing money away proping up trains/rail rather than backing the ost efficient transport, cars)
all Govt spending is negative/wasteful for the economy. Period.
er, cheap transportation doesn't lead to prosperity, toll roads had nothing to do with Englands advancement over France
political decisions do not improve anything, no businessman pays any attention to them or references them before doing business. Govt just sucks, it does not aid commerce in any way shape or form
yes there is a symbiosis between private enterprise and Govt (see Hong Kong and Singapore). The more Govt fucks off the faster society prospers. Period.
It's a very simple straightforward correlation, playing out as we speak across Europe, Japan and America where Govt is killing/sucking their economies to death (did i mention Govt sucks?).. hope that clarifies "Why Nations Fail" is rubbish
Spot on.
Why the West has led the world (from the recent PBS documentary) for the last 500 years:
1)Competition (and the profit motive)
2)Respect and persuit of Science (especially separation of church and state)
3)Private property rights
4)Very Limited Government which only acts a a referee to ensure the rule of law.
I probably missed something back in ye olde learning days but didn't Britain have an Empire for a wee bit too? As I recall they were history's first fanatical believers in technology as well. The French were still using triremes as late as the 17th century...
Somalia? Singapore and HK have pretty extensive government interference compared to Somalia. It also helps to be a city state with a huge hinterland of cheap labor and resources to exploit. Kind of like Manhattan. That would look pretty successful on it's own and plenty of government there. Australia recently rated best place to live in some articles. Would be considered socialist by many on here.
both Singapore and Hong Kong had 'light-touch' British rule and were freeports originally and thrived ..in contrast to Westminsters 'heavy-touch' at home where the economy is on its 2nd dip toward the sewer
what built Australia (as any nation) was private enterprise.. they started farming the arrid land.. the current socialist Govt of Oz is setting about destroying their mining industry with taxation and green legislation
wealth springs from individuals, not Govt policy. Every Govt enterprise, every public-private partnership is an expensive (bankrupt) joke. This puts to bed the entire premise of this book which is another "highly qualified economists" failure
Actually, what really built Australia was money, gold that is. Fantastical amounts of gold were mined in Australia, & shipped to London, in the second half of the 19th century.
Farming was secondary, even if it made some people fantastically wealthy.

I'm not talking toilet trash.
I'm running SS 2.2.3 and recently installed the forum module (which I downloaded at the same time as SS2.2.3), I made a few updates to the forum CSS in the theme, and that went fine, then I made a few more edits to the CSS, tried a /?flush=1 and now it won't flush.
All the pages still display and I can update content and use the forum with no problem, I just can't flush on any page.
My CSS is now valid, but it never was before this error.The standard yellow screen with red font error flashes on screen then I get a (firefox) "Content Encoding Error, The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression."
Any help would go down great!

Hello Seagull,
you have to be logged in to flush. I can not imagine that it´s the CSS changes fault that you can´t flush. Anyways I would disable CSS by renaming the files and try again.
Best regards

Hi, I'm not trying to /db/build?flush=1 I'm just trying to /?flush=1
I tried to change the name of the file, this did disable the styling but still no success.
I uninstalled the Forum module and there was no trouble flushing the site. I installed the forum module again and i've got the same error.

forum. I have a forum theme as well (site is based on a template), perhaps i should try to delete this template see if that narrows it down?

I you deinstall the forum module, it´s tables will not be deleted. Before reinstalling the forum module I would delete them by hand. Maybe this will do it.

so do I delete any tables that begin with forum. That probably sounds like a dumb question but I have to make sure

Yes. If you delete a modules foulder and flush the db by "dev/build" all tables of that module will get an "_obsolete_" appended to the tables name as a prefix. Just delete all tables with that name. Be sure to make backups, in case the contain any valuable data.
