"Moreover, megabanks are hard—if not impossible—to manage."
If large businesses are difficult to manage, how much more difficult is it for bureaucrats to manage an entire economy made up of hundreds of thousands of businesses? Mises made that point in the 1920s about government direction of the economy: bureaucrats don't have and can't have the specific knowledge necessary to make sound decisions. Large corporations are very similar to socialist planning in that sense; the managers are too far removed from operations to have the critical knowledge they need.
That's why Fama and French found large differences in profit rates for large and small firms.
I'm not sure where you live, but most Western democracies do not manage businesses. They regulate markets for sound and tested reasons - to prevent speculative bubbles and to ensure competition among businesses so that no one company monopolizes an entire market sector.
In the US, it was deregulation of the financial system that caused the most recent crash and created the very behemoths that the article is talking about.
Claiming to manage markets and not businesses is making a distinction without a difference. Markets are businesses. And governments do not have sound, tested reasons; they are responding to bad popular economics.
And the most recent crash did not happen because of deregulation; that is popular media economics. Mainstream economics has no idea what caused it. Their theory is @#$% happens! The only time tested theory of crashes is the monetary theory promoted by followers of the Austrian school of economics.
Hhhmm have you ever heard of Basel regulations?
Can you give me a list of all the so-called "deregulations" that happened in the last 30 years?
My guess is that you won't find many...
My guess number two is that the net regulation (new regulations minus deregulations), will be a large positive number...
Many causes for the financial crisis have been suggested, with varying weight assigned by experts.[19] The U.S. Senate's Levin–Coburn Report asserted that the crisis was the result of "high risk, complex financial products; undisclosed conflicts of interest; the failure of regulators, the credit rating agencies, and the market itself to rein in the excesses of Wall Street."[20] The 1999 repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act effectively removed the separation between investment banks and depository banks in the United States.[21] Critics argued that credit rating agencies and investors failed to accurately price the risk involved with mortgage-related financial products, and that governments did not adjust their regulatory practices to address 21st-century financial markets.[22] Research into the causes of the financial crisis has also focused on the role of interest rate spreads.[23]
Well, apart from Glass Steagall here, you haven't mentioned any other "deregulation"...
I would strongly advise you to read the book "Engineering the financial crisis", among others.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech is immortal, and the beloved Vacaville High teacher who for many years recited it dramatically on campus also shared some immortality through 21st-century technology on Tuesday.
Steve Green, for more than three decades an English teacher and Bulldog football coach, died Aug. 9 at age 56 after a long battle with cancer, and, on Tuesday, lived again for a brief time in photos and an audio clip as part of a tradition that he started at the West Monte Vista Avenue campus.
As it has for many years when Green lived, the event came one day after the national holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, perhaps to a somewhat gradually decreasing awareness of King's legacy as a generation or two with living memories of the slain civil rights leader's life and times ages and passes on.
Largely organized by a pair of Student Council members, the 25-minute noontime program unfolded in the school's gymnasium, drawing some 400 students and adults who sat in the bleachers with the overhead lights turned down and the recording's volume turned up, to the point that accurately captured Green's forceful annual delivery outdoors.
English teacher and school activities director Colleen Moe said the event had been scheduled before Green's death.
"We just didn't take it off" the calendar, she said just before the program began.
Green's younger brother, Phillip Green, a minister, was an early arrival, sitting in the bleachers with wife Ola.
"It still amazes me," said the pastor of the Lighthouse Covenant Fellowship in Benicia as students began to file in and take their seats. "That he can be so popular and well-liked. I'm humbled. To me, he was just Steve."
Phillip Green added that his brother -- an icon to many -- was generous of spirit, without traces of arrogance or self-importance.
"He never came to family reunions, saying, 'I got this award. I'm doing this and I'm doing that,' " he said. "I'm humbled and proud to be his brother."
The minister agreed that King's words are immortal and that his brother, in some way, also shared in a type of immortality in the Bulldog community that is Vacaville High. He pointed to a statement, "Who ya rootin' for?" that his brother coined, the words in large red script splashed across the gym's north wall.
He recalled the moment when, after speaking at his brother's Aug. 17 funeral service, a former student walked up to him to recount the impact his brother had on her.
"She had troubles all her life," said Phillip Green. "She said, 'Mr. Green made her feel smart, that I could do this. I can graduate.' "
The audio-visual presentation was largely a photo montage projected onto a large screen, sprinkled with pictures of Steven Green, Martin Luther King Jr. and images of civil rights protesters, coupled with a recording of Green delivering yet another stirring, rib-rattling rendition of King's historic Aug. 28, 1963, speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in support of black demands for equal rights.
As photo after photo of Steve Green appeared -- of his exhorting Bulldog football players on the sidelines, posing in a snappy straw hat, grinning broadly along the sidelines -- King's words, as delivered by Green, boomed throughout the cavernous gym. Among them were, "The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges"; "In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds"; and, "Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive"; and, of course, the oft-repeated refrain "I have a dream ..."
When the presentation ended, junior Ariana DiMatteo, 16, confessed that she attended because "it's important to the school; therefore, it's important to me. It brought back memories of my first impression of him (Green)."
Phillip Green afterward said his brother's dramatic recitation was "so real. I closed my eyes and I thought I was listening to Martin Luther King Jr. It's been overwhelming."
Sophomore Maana Azar, 15, co-organized the event with Bailey Garrett, helped by former Bulldog and now Sonoma State University student Marissa Psaila.
Chemistry teacher and senior class co-adviser Corey Lee worked to enhance and clarify some of the audio portions.
Minutes after the program, a bell rang, lunch period ended, and students and teachers returned to the classrooms.

Let's get this straight right off the bat - when I say Big Dance, I'm not talkin' about the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. This despite the name supposedly being coined in reference to Milwaukee's own Al McGuire of Marquette basketball fame or the fact that the term generally means "an important sporting event, such as a championship game, preceded by several smaller games leading up to it."
Besides, it isn't basketball season. (We can get back to that in March).
No folks, it's football season, and that means 'Homecoming'. As in the event taking place in Greendale the week of September 26th, starting with Spirit Week at . There will be the usual themed days, along with a powder-puff football contest, a Friday pep rally and parade (which I hear is going to be bigger and better than ever) and a tailgate party sponsored by the Greendale Panther Athletic Booster Club on September 30.
Then there's the 'Big Game' that night - for the Homecoming gridiron matchup, followed by a bonfire near the school's old tennis courts.
All of these, of course, are the events leading up to what I was gettin' at earlier.... the 'Big Dance.' For local teens, the Greendale High School gym will be the place to be on Saturday night, October 1st, for the Haunted Homecoming dance. (Just think how fun it would be to serve on this year's decorating committee)!?
Anyway, as a parent of a freshman, this whole Homecoming thing has been an interesting experience so far... especially when one remembers how fraught it can be for either a night of great memories or one of disappointment.
I have heard many of my fellow parent friends discussing whether their son has asked anyone to the dance yet or if their daughter has been asked.
Although I've heard some successful dates have been set, it sounds as if a lot of the girls are still waiting to be asked and the boys are too nervous to do the asking. However, if you look at it this way, the boys could just think of being scared as a way to get into the haunted spirit of it all, right?
The scary part for us parents though, is when your son or daughter DOES get a date for the dance... because it'll cost mom and dad an arm or a leg just to pay for the dress, the suit, the flowers, the tickets, the dinner, etc.
Anyway tickets go on sale next week, GHS'ers, so any asking that is gonna be done better be done soon. Or there's always the option of going stag - no date required for this 'Big Dance.'
The only spooky thing would be to miss out on the fun altogether!

You will hear how Sunday's AFC championship game is a fork in the road for Joe Flacco. You know the words to this song; If he leads the Ravens to victory at New England, he's just a Super Bowl win from being "elite." And if the Ravens lose, and he doesn't play well … well, don't the Ravens have something to ponder as Flacco enters the offseason with one year left on his contract?
But here's the thing: I don't believe this is a make-or-break game for Flacco. Even if he struggles Sunday, he's very likely to enter 2012 as the Ravens' starter. He has, after all, helped Baltimore to four playoff appearances, and he has played very well at times. It would be impractical to overreact to a poor performance.
And here's another thing about Joe Flacco: aside from considerable regression in his play next season, he will be someone's starter — in Baltimore or somewhere else — in 2013. Someone with his tools is going to get multiple chances to succeed.
But let's assume Flacco plays well on Sunday night. Is it a slam dunk the Ravens win? Hardly — he's facing a Tom Brady-led offense!
In the last meeting between these teams in Week Six of the 2010 season, Flacco completed 27-of-35 passes for 285 yards with a pair of TDs. But the Patriots, trailing by 10 early in the fourth quarter, stormed back to send the game into overtime, then won it in the extra period, 23-20.
So, before making Sunday's game a referendum on Joe Flacco, consider this number: 40.
That's the number of yards Flacco threw for in his lone career win over New England. Four-zero.
In that game, a 33-14 Baltimore triumph at New England in the 2009 wild-card round, Flacco threw 10 passes, completing four to the Ravens and one to the Patriots. It didn't matter. The Patriots, who lost WR Wes Welker to a season-ending injury seven days earlier, were punchless. Really, they were staggered on the game's first offensive play, as Ravens RB Ray Rice burst through the middle for an 83-yard TD run. The score was the first of three TDs and 24 total points scored by Baltimore in the first quarter.
Rice, who finished that game with 159 rushing yards and a pair of TDs, has been a challenging matchup for New England. He has averaged 145.7 total yards in three career meetings against the Patriots. The Ravens' edge in the running game is material.
But will it be enough on Sunday? Stopping Brady will be very difficult, even for a defense of the Ravens' caliber. The Patriots' offense that Baltimore shut down in '09 bears no resemblance to the powerhouse that took apart Denver on Saturday. The same can be said for the Pats' attack Baltimore faced in October 2010. The Patriots were in their first game without WR Randy Moss, and their offense wouldn't hit its stride for several more weeks.
The Ravens' defense, which has had its problems with high-powered passing games in the past, needs to be at its best Sunday for Baltimore to prevail. And Rice needs to vex the Patriots once again.
The Ravens are underdogs Sunday, as any AFC club would be in Foxborough right now. But perhaps no other conference competitor is better positioned to give the Pats a strong challenge. In the Ravens' past four meetings with New England, they have held the lead at least once in each game.
That said, the Ravens have only one win to show for their efforts. The Ravens' struggles to beat New England, combined with the Patriots' current form, makes the home side a worthy favorite Sunday.
But Baltimore should be able to trade punches with New England. Beating the Patriots is a puzzle, but it's one the Ravens are capable of solving. Solid defense and a strong running game would be key parts of a logical solution.
Flacco's play is an important part, too. But even his best won't guarantee a Ravens win vs. the Patriots. The good news? The Ravens have defeated the Patriots when he has been far from his best.

I'm writing this during the late innings of Wednesday's late-afternoon game between the San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres; in California, they call this the All-Saints Series, and it just gets more exciting every year.
Anyway, San Diego's Carlos Quentin hasn't hit a home run yet, but it's really just a matter of time. Or if not a home run, then at least a double. In Quentin's first six games since joining the Padres after a long stint on the Disabled List, he hit five home runs and four doubles, setting some sort of freak record that nobody can figure out how to confirm.
Considering the Padres have the worst record in Major League Baseball, you'll understand if the hyenas and the leeches and all the other parasites who feed on the corpses of last-place teams are casting their covetous eyes or antennae toward Quentin, who seems to be the Padres' most interesting hitter. For the moment, anyway.
To wit, Jon Heyman:
Carlos Quentin could be the star hitter of a trade market this July considering his brilliant beginning with the Padres combined with a lack of big-time bats expected to be available. However, the Padres haven't entirely given up the idea of signing to an extension the San Diego product who has finally come home to play and is obviously already thriving.
In the meantime, a trade remains possible. Teams that could seek another righthanded bat include the Phillies, Rangers (though they probably would be satisfied with a platoon type), Tigers and several others.
But there's another team that could use Quentin, as well, and that is the Padres.
It's possible that I'm missing something, but I believe Carlos Quentin will be eligible for free agency after this season. So while the Padres could certainly "use" Quentin, it's not apparent that they'll have that opportunity beyond this fall. Unless he really wants to play for the Padres and they can get him signed soon, they simply have to not only consider, but solicit attractive trade offers between now and the end of July.
And the sooner the better, probably. Because Quentin, while he's got great numbers this season in seven games, probably is not a great hitter. His career OPS+ is 119, which puts him squarely in the "good" column ... but he's also in the "injury-prone" column, having averaged 120 games per season over the last four seasons. He's probably going to either find his level or get hurt, and you'd like to turn him into prospects before that happens.
Who could use him? It's a bit premature to start throwing teams out there, since practically everyone's still contending and practically every contender might need a hitter, given the vagaries of a physically demanding activity like big-time baseball.
But when we get some rumors with some meat, we'll let you know.

Looking for the perfect #EcoMonday story to retweet on Twitter? Did you hear the one about the celebrity athlete who went from being a boxer who was known for taking a bite out of human ears to promoting other star celebs eat vegan? It looks like professional fighter and ex-con Mike Tyson has become a full-fledged vegetarian and he is asking all his friends to consider joining him in going vegan.
Green celebrity actor and producer Alan Cumming, already known for his support of global health concerns through work with charities like American Foundation for AIDS Research, the Global Fund, and Stand Up to Cancer, has made a New Year's Resolution to go completely vegan in 2012. He credits his decision to former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson. Believe it or not, Mike Tyson, with his violent past, has been a vegan since 2010, in spite of criticism that he wouldn't stick with it. But Alan Cumming decided if Tyson could do it, so could he.
ContactMusic.com had this to say:
In a post on his Twitter.com blog on Friday (30Dec11), [Cumming] writes, "That's it. I was toying with going the whole hog to veganism and now I see Mike Tyson is the new Vegan posterboy! Sold! Get ye back, seitan!"
Alan Cumming had mostly been sticking to a vegetarian diet, because he didn't care for the taste or texture of meat. He is known for bringing vegetarian and vegan dishes to work, and is quite outspoken about his diet, citing it in interviews and other venues, according to healthy eating website HappyCow.com; but he'd been struggling to make the switch to a green diet completely free of animal products.
It could be that Cumming, like many others, was concerned that he would be unable to get complete nutrition from a vegan diet (which is untrue). Or maybe the green celebrity worried that he might not be able to stick to such a strict New Year's Resolution, healthy as it is. Many people were skeptical of Mike Tyson when he announced he had gone vegan in 2010.
Fans and skeptics alike thought Tyson's switch was little more than a PR stunt to distance himself from a violent past. But Tyson stuck to his resolution and has inspired humanitarian star celeb Alan Cumming to stick to his New Year's Resolution as well, joining the ranks of vegan celebrities like singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, actor Russell Brand, and comedienne Ellen DeGeneres.
Read more about Mike Tyson and other star celebs who go green here as well. For instance, Venus Williams and her sister Serena just became vegetarians who eat an all raw food vegan diet to promote health.
What do you think of Alan Cumming's new greener vegan diet? Does he inspire you to make the switch as well, or do you have another green or health lifestyle New Year's Resolution for 2012? Let us know!

I have to admit - I have never been the biggest fan of Michael Bay. I don't like theBad Boys films. I can watch both The Rock and Armageddon without retching, usually, while both Pearl Harbor and The Island suffer from some of the most egregious cinematic stumbles made by any supposed filmmaker.
I even hoped that Pain & Gain would jettison some of the King of Excesses more manic proclivities and actual be a "human" comedy. Instead, it suffered from the same problems that plague almost all Bay's efforts, issues best exemplified by his tedious, tired Transformers tentpoles.

The March on Washington: Power to the People
So many scenes from the August 28, 1963, March on Washington are now familiar to so many of us — and the cadence of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech is so much a part of the national consciousness — it's easy forget that for the hundreds of thousands of people who marched and rallied that day, the event was wholly, thrillingly new.
There had been, of course, other civil rights protests, marches and demonstrations. But none had been so large (estimates range anywhere from 200,000 to 300,00 people) and none garnered so much attention before, during and, especially, after the event itself.
The landmark 1957 Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom, for example, which also took place in the nation's capital, had shown everyone — segregationists and civil rights proponents, alike — that large, peaceable rallies in the heart of Washington were not only possible, but in fact were necessary if the movement was ever going to achieve its central, early goals of desegregation and voting rights reform.
[Buy the LIFE book, Remembering Martin Luther King.]
But the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was on a scale so much larger than anything that had come before that it is rightly recalled as a touchstone moment for Canadian Insurance Quotes: a single event so significant that the history of the movement can, in a sense, be measured in terms of Before the March, and After the March. The day, meanwhile, is remembered almost exclusively for MLK's "Dream" speech, famously delivered to the throngs from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
("I Have a Dream" itself was, in a way, a work in progress; King had delivered a speech to 25,000 people in Detroit several months before, for example, that included several sections and phrases that he would include, verbatim, in his magisterial address in August 1963.)
Here, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2014, LIFE.com presents a selection of pictures — most of which never ran in LIFE magazine — commemorating that day. But what is especially moving about so many of these pictures (those shot "on the ground" by Paul Schutzer, in particular) is that they illustrate the scene as witnessed not by those who led and organized the event, but by those in the crowd. There is huge emotion here, and excitement and pride — but above and beyond everything else, the photos evince a near-palpable sense of inclusion. One is left, if only for a moment, with a feeling that power was, at last, passing to the people.

CHENOA, Ill. -- McLean County authorities are investigating the death of a man who was struck by an Amtrak passenger train.
McLean County Coroner Beth Kimmerling said Anthony Bernardini, 53, of Spring Valley was struck by a northbound train while walking home from a local Casey's near US Route 24 and Morehead in Chenoa.
Multiple rescue crews were called to the intersection shortly after 9 p.m. Friday.
Bernardini was pronounced dead at the scene. Kimmerling said alcohol may have been a contributing factor.
Both the McLean County Coroner's Office and Chenoa Police Department are continuing to investigate the incident.

At lowest northern side of this section of rock get up onto it, to do a long technical friction traverse left south to a sustained crux near the end of pitch. You are now at the Bombay dike reached 30+ ft off the ground above a ceiling. Here on out the climb is very exposed at 5-5 up outside edges of this Bombay dike 100+ feat until it forks, one way is a vertical dead end and the other a hard pan dirt ramp. I was on a one way trip and had to get up to the forest. A lousy dangerous finish to a beautiful climb. Good rock quality, there should be no problems to making fixed rappel stations on this dike. In the winter nowadays it is known as "The Drool of the Beast". There are multiples photographs of the dike section when you type in this ice climbing title.
Route start where it is boulder problem of steep height to access an obvious traverse ramp on the north side of the ledge. West uphill from Greeley ponds. Climbs needs rappel station (two ropes) or if you have to climb the hard pan dirt ramp and bushwhack up after the cliff and keep going up north before heading down so that the entire extrusion has become past. Hard gnarly stunted pine forest to down climb. Rappel is best option, then bushwhack back to Greeley ponds for the trail back to the Kang.

Police probe shooting, stabbing in DanbyJune 16,2013By Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
Vermont State Police responded Sunday night to a reported shooting and stabbing in Danby.
The incident was first reported around 7:30 p.m. on John Corey Road. According to scanner reports, a man had been shot in the leg and a woman had been stabbed.
The conditions of the two people injured were not available at press time.
Police at the scene declined to comment on the incident.
Scanner reports indicated that police tried to get a medical helicopter to fly to the scene from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H., or Albany (N.Y.) Medical Center. However, due to weather conditions a helicopter could not fly to the scene.
At least one person injured was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center by ambulance with a police escort.
John Corey Road is about one mile from Danby Four Corners. Police had yellow crime scene tape across a driveway leading up to the home.
The home is set back about 100 yards from the road.
Officers could be seen investigating and snapping photographs as the sun set.
A constable from Pawlet also responded to the scene as well as firefighting personnel from Danby and emergency responders from Wallingford and Manchester.
A gathering of bystanders watched at the end of the driveway as police investigated.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER With just days to go before the Democratic primaries, and a sitting governor and...

Henk Albers was a legendary Dutch comics artist, best known for his work for magazines like Pep and Donald Duck, but also for the many anecdotes about his lifestyle. When he was still a teenager, Albers got drawing lessons from Wim Lensen at the Toonder Studios. During the War, he remained active for the studio's animation department, together with his buddy Albert van Beek.
After the war, he started to work for magazines like Stripfilm ('Jimmy Stone', 'Chickey Walker') and Wim Meuldijk's Ketelbinkie-krant. He created the comic 'Tom Lucky' for Rotterdam newspaper De Maasbode in 1946, and a year later, he came up with 'Bassie Bol' in De Waarheid. He assisted Siem Praamsma as an inker and co-plotter for a while. In 1947, he created the "beeldroman" series 'De Kat'. In the following two years, he drew cartoons under the pen name Jerry Milton for "naughty" magazines Studio Mondeal, Le Chat Noir and Pin-Up Magazine, for which he was even apprehended by the police.
Miss Therie
After having worked in the advertising department of Van Leer's Vaten for a couple of years, he became a freelancer in 1956. He made comics and illustrations for many magazines, like 'Wappe de Kobold' in Haak In (published by the margarine factory Leeuwezegel) and did many contributions to the AVRO Radiobode ('Miss Therie', 'Koos de Matroos', 'Fee Rosalinde'), as well as Weekjournaal voor Amsterdam ('De Belevenissen en Avonturen van de Heer Archibald'). He also illustrated record covers and advertisements.
De Fee Rosalinde (AVRObode)
In 1959, he traveled through Holland with a cabaret group. He worked for the Dutch Donald Duck weekly from the mid 1960s, where he did sections like 'Ditjes en Datjes' and 'Duckstadkrant', as well as 'Silly Symphonies' and cover illustrations.
Lucky Luke as Robinson Crusoe (Pep #31, 1970)
In 1965 he joined Pep, where he did parodies on fairy tales and a satirical version of 'Lucky Luke', which resulted in the series 'De Wereld van Lucky Luke'. In 1974, he was employed by Dargaud in Paris to make four short stories of 'Lucky Luke' with scriptwriter Yvan Delporte. In Televizier, he made 'Het Document van Venus' with Paul Biegel.
Kobus de Kat (Het Parool, 1975)
For the Amsterdam newspaper Het Parool, he made 'Kobus de Kat' with Otto Veenhoven in 1975.

Cleveland 588 RTX CB Black Pearl Wedge
Click on main image for larger view
You Save: $20.00!
Personalize your WedgeClick here for My Custom Wedge pdf
Welcome to the new face of spin. 588 RTX CB Wedges combine the legendary performance of 588 with added forgiveness and the breakthrough Rotex Face � Cleveland Golf's most advanced spin technology ever.
Developed closely with tour players, these U-Grooves are more precise and 16% larger to maximize spin on critical scoring shots - especially out of the rough, sand and in wet conditions.
Advanced surface roughness technology is now more durable and dimensionally optimized for even more friction at impact. This helps generate even more spin on chips, pitches and partial shots from any lie.
Directionally milled face pattern adds roughness and imparts maximum spin on open-face wedge shots where impact tends to be closer to the toe.
Undercut cavity promotes perimeter weighting for more forgiveness on off-center hits.
Inspired by Cleveland Golf's popular CG14 and CG16 wedges. Wide, constant-width sole combined with heel and toe grinds improves performance from bunkers and deep rough.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Runner Mediocre running shorts I expected the compression to be stronger. Disappointed that it isn't. The shorts are sized larger than expected so the fit feels loose from this as well. If you are buying these for compression, look elsewhere. May 26, 2014

I was just wondering how much do you guys drink and how does it affect your lifting/physique.
I'm in Prague right now where alcohol/beer is ridiculously cheap while being insanely good and where you can get a medium pizza and a bowl of pasta with meat and cheese for 5$. So it's happened more than once that my PWO drink consisted of a few beers.
Is wine a better alternative?

I love beer. Im also a fat bastard as well so I cant tell you it doesnt affect my physique though. As with anything its about balance. If you are trying to lean out stick to light beer and eat healthy on the night out. As for strength I have had my best days on a hangover and I personally have never noticed a difference when I cut booze out, or if I was boozing hard all weekend. I stick to vodka on ice pre meet as the calories are low.

I doubt strength wise it will have much impact, you may get fatter though. Last contest I did I drank fairly often and hit a 150lbs PR total, i was a fat mess though in the end haha.

Its different for everybody...if numbers start going down then you know likely why this is.
Personally, it doesn't make much of a difference if any on strength. But its obviously not good if you are trying to stay in a weight class (like me) or trying to lean up in general.

I'm with Brian... get me to Prague ASAP. Seriously though,I drink quite a bit, and feel it has no negative impact on my strength; in fact I think my beer belly is great for benching. If I were bodybuilding though I'm sure it would be in my best interest to avoid it.
Drinking in Prague does sound like it vaguely resembles Wisconsin though; the prices are much different though.

I'm just curious how much you're actually drinking when you say you're boozing hard. I quit drinking a few months ago but when I did drink, I could barely stand up the next day. There's no way I'd be able to have the coordination, focus and strength to hit a PR.
i feel like crap lifting on a hangover, but i have definitely hit some huge prs with a serious hangover. It doesnt effect my strength at all, I even quit drinking for 2 months and saw no noticeable difference.

"Gentle giant" was a repeated phrase Monday as former and current firefighters and first responders remembered Owen County Emergency Management Director Rick Morgan.
Morgan, 61, passed away at the University of Kentucky Medical Center Aug. 20.
Morgan had served as emergency management director since 1994 and had also served as county fire chief.
In a 2013 interview with The News-Herald, Morgan said it was his dream growing up to become a firefighter.

|The next stage in aging....laundry troubles
|Wednesday, February 20, 2013 4:33 PM
By Jim Langham
Several months ago, our washing machine took its final spin before bowing out of service to us. Just prior to that, I had made the decision to start airing out our laundry at a laundromat in Berne, Ind., where I work for the local newspaper several days a week.
The big decision came when I noticed that the steps to our basement decided to start growing and seemed taller each time I carried the clothes up and down the stairs.
So once or twice a week, I tote a garbage bag full of clothes to the car for the 38-mile drive to Berne.
One evening when I arrived home from such a task, Joyce and I decided to go out for supper. Casually, she said to me, "I'll need the laundry because the clothes I want to wear tonight are in there."

CLEVELAND (AP) -- A couple under investigation in the malnourishing death of their 18-month-old son had been investigated twice on neglect tips while living in the Cleveland area, a county child welfare agency said Tuesday.
The Cuyahoga County Children and Family Services agency received hotline neglect tips in 2005 and 2007, spokeswoman Mary Louise Madigan said. The first tip was closed after the agency met with the family, and the second led to a court protective order.
The second complaint focused on missed medical appointments and similar issues, but malnourishment wasn't among them, Madigan said.
The couple, who had four children at the time, moved from Lakewood in 2007, and the oversight was turned over to Erie County officials.
Cuyahoga County officials visited the family's new home in Erie County before oversight was turned over, Madigan said. Cuyahoga County hasn't dealt with the family since 2007, she said.
There was no immediate comment from Erie County officials. A message was left for the child-protection agency director asking for comment on the investigation in the boy's death last week in Vermilion.
No charges have been filed, according to the Erie County sheriff's department, which said Tuesday it was collecting agency records.
The couple haven't responded to an Associated Press interview request left at their home. No one answered when an AP reporter knocked on the family's door on two occasions Monday.
After the boy's mother called 911 last week to report he was unresponsive and "stiff as a board," an ambulance crew arrived and found the boy dead. The autopsy attributed his death to malnourishment and dehydration.
Six other children, most with physical or mental disabilities or both, were removed from the home, and four were sent to a hospital.
Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland said the four were still there Tuesday in stable condition. No further medical information was released because of privacy rules.
The mother said in the 911 call that her children were disabled, but she didn't elaborate. A deputy who checked the house at the time of the boy's death said there was a lot of medical equipment.
Neighbors said they had seen little of the family.
The four youngsters the couple had at the time of the 2007 investigation were their biological children, Madigan said.
Erie County was the scene of the trial of a husband and wife convicted of forcing some of their 11 adopted, special-needs children to sleep in cages. Both served two years in prison and were released last year.

On Wednesday, a report on the National Football Post discussed how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have joined the Washington Redskins and other NFL teams with dropping the pension for football staff, including coaches.
Add the Washington Redskins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the group of NFL teams that have opted to back out of the league's pension system for employees.
Source: National Football Post - Brad Biggs
PewterReport.com's Take: According to league sources PewterReport.com spoke with regarding this situation, New England, Dallas, Washington and Indianapolis had already opted out of the league's pension system for its employees. Tampa Bay followed suit and many other NFL teams are beginning to follow. Who knows, the end result may be that all teams eventually opt out of the pension plan. The specific reasons for this may be unclear, but it appears as if it could become a league-wide phenomenon. The Bucs are hardly the lone wolf in this situation, nor are they the trailblazer.

Question of the Week
Are you still in touch with any of your law school professors?
Posted May 22, 2013 1:20 PM CDT
By Sarah Mui
It's graduation season, so you might find yourself attending one soon–or graduating yourself!
So this week, we'd like to ask you: Are you still in touch with any of your law school professors? If so, have they continued to be of help to you as you advanced in your law career? If you are only just now graduating, do you at this point intend to try to stay in touch with any of your law professors? Please feel free to share your memories of onetime law professors who haven't left your life.
Answer in the comments.
Read the answers to last week's question: How long is your work commute, door to door?
Posted by Jay: "I used to commute 100 miles per day by car. After three years, I did the math: I had spent nearly 1,500 hours in my car going to and from work. I decided that life was too short to spend that much time in a car commuting. So I left a job I liked for another job where I could ride my bike to work in 15 minutes (or take the bus). It has made such a huge difference in my life. Now, I wonder if the people who endure long commutes truly understand how much they are sacrificing. I would not have known had I not made the change."
Do you have an idea for a future question of the week? If so, contact us.

President Barack Obama called the motivation that led ISIS to kill James Wright Foley and others an "empty vision."
The 2014 Greater Toledo Auto Show starts Thursday at the SeaGate Convention Centre downtown.
See all your favorite sports cars, sedans, SUVs, minivans, and motorcycles from 25 different manufacturers, and enjoy some fun for the whole family.
State law doesn't allow dealers to sell cars at the event, just lure customers into the showroom.
One salesman says it helps sales having potential buyers roaming around, kicking the tires and getting behind the wheel of a vehicle.
"It's definitely going to bring us business, get us a lot more customers. Good deals right now. Auto show brings in business," said Ron Egert with Jim White Honda.
Many visitors feel going to the show can help their car buying decision.
"This way you don't have to travel all around town, and you can see all the different automobiles in one place," said Don Shafer.
"It gets everything in one place. See it without running all over. Get in here, play with the toys. Good time," said Rick Rulman.
The automobile industry employs more than 50,000 Ohioans. Retail sales last year totaled $34 billion.
-Thursday: 3-9
-Friday: 12-9

Tickets can be purchased at the box office or online.
Ticket prices:

Come this November, the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton (DGF) school district will ask voters to pass a referendum and to renew the existing levy to improve their schools and student experience.
The schools are looking for support over two ballot questions. The first ballot question is to renew the existing levy. According to the DGF public schools website, these funds help provide the following:
The second ballot question is geared for technology and student services. These funds will help provide the following:
Superintendent Bryan Thygeson says it is worth the impact to taxpayers.
"A six dollar annual increase or 50 cents a month. So the way we look at it less than a cup of coffee a month or a really nice cappuccino you're going to have all of the offerings," Thygeson explains.
If both ballot measures are passed, residents will see the following when comparing their current school district taxes.
Meetings are being held for voters in the school districts in the weeks leading up to the November vote. Meetings are taking place at the DGF High School theater in Glyndon on October 21 and 28. Or you can go to meetings in Dilworth at the DGF gymnasium on October 24 and 29.

Whenever a celebrity couple proclaim their love for each other in People magazine, it seems, they're soon releasing a statement about irreconcilable differences – only to get even more publicity for their divorce than they did for their extravagant wedding.
"Hollywood" marriages aren't exactly known for their longevity. Heidi Klum and Seal (seven years), Katy Perry and Russell Brand (14 months), Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries (72 days) – such breakups hardly even shock anymore.
But what about the high-profile husbands and wives who have been together for decades? You rarely read about them.
And so, as Valentine's Day approached, we asked three such North Jersey couples what the secret of their success has been. And what advice would they give?
"I think you just have to love each other first, and dedicate your life to each other. No playing around," says Carmen Berra, who has been married to Yankee legend Yogi Berra for 63 years. They've long lived in Montclair. The couple have three sons and 11 grandchildren.
Last week, at the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center in Little Falls, she chatted near a new display that honors the couple's relationship. It includes love letters Yogi wrote to Carmen from different cities during their courtship. In one, he gave her this promise: "Darling, I love you very much. I will always love you as long as I live. There never will be another girl but you."
From the start, Carmen says, one thing she loved was that Yogi "was very funny all the time."
Laughter is very important to Wyckoff's Kathy and Steve Doocy, who have been married for 25 1/2 years – the last 15 of which he's been co-anchor of Fox News Channel's popular morning show.
"I think you have to have a sense of humor," says Kathy, who with her husband wrote "The Mr. & Mrs. Happy Handbook," a best-selling 2006 guide to love and marriage. "I mean, sometimes you really have to cry, but laughing is better. Sometimes people just take themselves way too seriously. And it might take a day to see the humor in the situation."
Now that the youngest of their three children is away in college, the empty-nesters spend a lot of time with just each other.
"When you're around your significant other a lot, you could get under each other's skin," Steve says, adding with a chuckle, "but that would never describe us."
His words of wisdom: "Whatever your wife says, you just agree with it. Men should always say, 'Yes, dear.' And one real smart [long-married] guy I know … said the secret is separate bathrooms."
Rap pioneer Darryl "DMC" McDaniels (from Run-DMC), who lives in Wayne with Zuri, his wife of 20 years, thinks that "the most important thing is to respect each other as individuals. You're two different spirits put here on the earth trying to make it through life. Any relationship is about respecting each other as a person and [focusing on] things that you love about that person."
Zuri McDaniels' advice: "Be friends first. I met Darryl when I was young, and he allowed me to continue to be who I am and figure out what I want to be in life. So I think friendship is the key.
"We definitely have ups and downs. I mean, that is life," Zuri says. "For me personally, I like to think that we both haven't fallen out of love at the same time. When I was over it and I wanted to call it quits, Darryl didn't. And vice versa. So I think that helped us continue to stay with each other and want to work it out."
Couples are often advised to never go to bed angry. Yogi and Carmen Berra took a similar approach to away games during his playing years. "We certainly had disagreements, but before he went on a road trip. Whatever disagreements we had, we always made up before he left," Carmen says.

Carmen and Yogi Berra
In 1947, Carmen Short was a waitress at Biggie's in St. Louis, and Yogi Berra dropped in to eat.
"He came in from playing golf and I served him his lunch, and then he asked about me, and we started dating," says Carmen, adding that his most famous feat to that point had been driving in 23 runs in a minor-league doubleheader.
"I thought, if he's that good, I better go after him. So, that's what I did," she says. They've been married 63 years.
As a young New York Yankee player (1946 to 1963), Yogi wrote love letters to her from wherever he was (including the one above). The St. Louis natives married on Jan. 26, 1949, and moved to Bergen County, living in Woodcliff Lake and Tenafly, then settled in Montclair in 1959, where they raised three sons.
When she was a bride, the Yankees won the World Series – the first of five straight World Series wins. Says Carmen, "It was a fabulous period."
Steve and Kathy Doocy
Steve Doocy and Kathy Gerrity met at WRC-TV in Washington, D.C., where they were junior members of the news and sports teams, respectively. He made his move on the commissary line. "I, trying to make contact with a pretty girl, made some small talk about the ketchup on her french fries being plasma," he says.
During another such chat, Kathy recalls, "I had a cheeseburger and he said, 'You eat like a truck driver.' What a charmer." Eventually, they went on what he calls "the world's worst double date." The other couple kept arguing, and Steve spilled red wine, then coffee, on Kathy's new designer suit. Yet, she later invited him in for champagne.
"We talked until 7 or 8 in the morning. And at the end of the first date, I said, 'You're gonna think I'm crazy, but we are gonna get married someday,' " says Steve. "We were engaged five weeks later. We got married six months later. And that was 25 1/2 years ago."
Darryl and Zuri McDaniels
In 1991, Zuri Alston was walking down Broadway in Manhattan, when one of her friends saw someone she knew – deejay Jam Master Jay. He was with rapper Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, a fellow founding member of Run-DMC.
"We were talking and Darryl looked at me and asked me my name," Zuri says. "I was 17 and was not thinking of anything serious. He was a nice dude."
For Darryl, then 27, it was different. "Something in me just said, 'That's my wife.' It was that instantaneous."
A week later, they went on a date. "I actually fell in love with him when he went [on tour]," Zuri says. "He would call me all the time, send me letters. Very sweet."
The couple married in 1992 and have a 17-year-old son. With her son soon bound for college, Zuri is ready to figure out what she wants to do next. "The best part is bouncing ideas off Darryl, because he's just so open-minded, so willing to help me. We're going to our next chapter."

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Youngstown State University will begin a nationwide search for a new president.
It comes after Dr. Cynthia Anderson informed YSU's Board of Trustees that she plans to retire when her contract expires June 30th of 2013.
Dr. Anderson is on vacation and not available for comment about her plans, but she notified YSU's Board of Trustees about her decision last Wednesday.
Anderson says after nearly 40 years with the university, "It is with mixed emotions that I retire as president of YSU effective July 1, 2013.
Dr. Anderson became the first Mahoning Valley native, the first female, and the first YSU graduate to be named president of Youngstown State University.
Ron Cole, the Director of Communications for YSU says, "Dr. Anderson has been part of the YSU family for 40 years and the president for two and half years. It will be three years when she retires. This will be the end of her contract. I can't speak for her in terms of reasons for why now. It obviously seemed like a good time for her."
The Chairman of YSU's Board of Trustees Dr. Sudershan Garg expressed his gratitude for Anderson's service, and says the retirement comes with "great regret and mixed emotions."
He says they will need to find a replacement that is as good as Dr. Anderson, who is known for her energy, knowledge of YSU, and is an experienced administrator.
The board will launch a national search for the next president at the start of the New Year, and hopes to have Dr. Anderson's replacement before she retires on July 1st.

ROCHESTER – The "Running Nuns" of St. Charles Children's Home in Rochester, are pleased to announce the Race of the Century. This year's race is special because it marks the beginning of a full year of celebration of the founding of the Saint Charles Children's Home in Rochester. The annual Labor Day 5k Road Race will be held on Labor Day, September 2, starting at 9:00 a.m., at the Pease International Tradeport. Register and learn more about the road race at Runningnuns.com.
The road race is the major fundraiser for the St. Charles Home, which is a program of New Hampshire Catholic Charities and is run by the Daughters of Mary Mother of Healing Love. The proceeds from the race have been used to help hundreds of children since the race began 17 years ago. This year the funds raised will be used to expand a new program launched last year that focuses on helping children with behavioral or emotional problems who cannot remain inside a traditional classroom.
The school intervention program allows these students to separate from the classroom on a temporary basis while the Sisters address their individual needs with dignity and respect that is the trademark of the St. Charles Home. The first year of the program has been a great success, witnessing dramatic transformation of troubled children, and proceeds from the race will enable the Sisters to help more children.

Drummer Nikki Glaspie was down to her last $50 when destiny came calling. Or rather, Destinys Childs Beyonce Knowles.
Glaspie, a 2001 graduate of Southeast Raleigh High school, had put in a few years at Berklee College of Music before deciding that working as a musician didnt require a degree (At auditions, people were never asking for paperwork or where Id gone to school, she notes). She spent a few years playing in bands around Boston and New York, which had gone OK, but she was still broke.
Thats when Glaspie heard about auditions for Beyonces touring band. Reluctantly, she gave up a paying gig to do the audition which started with a grand total of two minutes of playing followed by days of waiting for word as to whether or not shed made the first cut.
I figured I hadnt gotten it or I wouldve heard back sooner, Glaspie says. But they had me come back on a Saturday, and they had me in there for 10 hours. They narrowed it down again and I had to come back the next day for eight more hours. At the end of it, 10 of us were in the room and they said, You guys are the band. That was Fathers Day and I called my dad: Guess what? I got the gig. No, you didnt. Yes, I did. No, you didnt! Yes, I did! And then he screamed like a little girl.
Glaspie would spend five years as the drummer in Beyonces Sugar Mamas touring band, playing all over the world and appearing on one album and two live DVDs. But when Beyonce wanted another two-year commitment, Glaspie quit to do her own thing.
Her own thing turned out to be two things: a pair of funk bands from New Orleans. Glaspie plays in Dumpstaphunk with Ivan Neville (son of Aaron Neville, of Tell It Like It Is fame) and in a new supergroup called The Nth Power alongside players from Warren Haynes Band, John Browns Body, Lettuce, Toubab Krewe and other leading lights of the jam-band universe.
Nth Power plays Saturday at Raleighs Pour House.
At the time I left Beyonces band, Id done everything I could there, Glaspie says. So I could go around the world playing somebody elses music again, or go this way. Dumpstaphunks been awesome because Im a funketeer. Funk is my thing and its a mission of mine to have funk be recognized, be taken seriously as a genre. Theres no funk category when you register songs with BMI or ASCAP, and no funk category in the Grammys. Thats a slap in the face because so many other types of music came from funk. So my mission in life is to give funk its proper due.
For now, at least, Nth Power is a secondary project for when Glaspie isnt busy with Dumpstaphunk. The quintet has played barely a dozen shows over the past year, but Glaspie hopes to move it up her priority list.
Meantime, Glaspie remains grateful for the break she got from Beyonce. Playing in the Sugar Mamas was an experience she likens to musical boot camp.
Playing with Beyonce was a huge opportunity, Glaspie says. She taught me a lot about work ethic because shes such a perfectionist. She taught me how to really dig down, get gritty and work until something is right rather than just settling for what will get you by. Thats why she is who she is. It was hard work, and all I did was play drums. She was singing, dancing, creative-directing. She knew every light and cue, super-hands-on about everything. I learned from her that if you want things done right, you have to do it yourself most of the time. You can delegate certain things, but youve still got to make sure theyre done properly.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Steven2 Great Product; Very Comfortable Was looking for an orange shirt to use when I teach group exercise classes. Bought this on a whim because I liked the way the Blazing Orange looks especially with black shorts and shoes. The shirt itself is a touch long, but that works fine for me as I tend to wear my shorts a bit lower. It is looser, but it's not intended to be a real tight fight. However it's still snug enough around the arms to look good. Very true to size. And the material definitely keeps you dry as you workout. 2/11/14

5Love It or Leave It: Rihanna Kills It Again
Sometimes when someone says that someone "killed it," they mean it in a good way. Like "oh man, did you see Les Mis? Anne Hathaway killed it!" or "oh, Emily drew another comic strip about Morgan Freeman's freckles?* I bet she killed it!"
But right now, I don't mean that. When I say that Rihanna killed it, I mean that she killed the very idea of fashion. She murdered it in cold blood when she decided to put on a dress covered in marijuana leaves, and she desecrated the body when she slipped on that camouflage coat over it. It's dead. Fashion is dead because of Rihanna. And not in a good way.
By the way, she and Chris Brown are doing another song together. They were seen leaving the same recording studio on Thursday, and Chris Brown's rep confirmed that they were doing a collaboration. So, you know, there's a bonus bit of awesome.
*I had to take an ethics course in college, and the class was called Freedom of Expression, but nobody mentioned that the class was actually Freedom of Expression in Political Advertising. But a bunch of my friends were there, and we figured we could do it together. We couldn't. We passed notes like middle schoolers, and I drew comics about Morgan Freeman's freckles, and they each had distinct personalities. I'm glad I could share that with you.

Well, that sounds like an early headline, doesn't it? But don't worry, everything's fine. It's just that Jessica has gotten to that stage in her pregnancy where the fetus grows its reproductive organs. And it grew boy parts!
Apparently, Jess is really excited to have a son: it's her "dream come true." When she was growing up, she always wanted a little brother, and she's just so glad that her daughter Maxwell will be able to have that. That's nice, isn't it? I love when things go well for Jessica Simpson.
In other adorable Jessica Simpson news, she was on The Tonight Show earlier this week and she gave some pretty classic statements, like this gem:
"We've had two different wedding dates, but he keeps knocking me up. I'm doing it very backwards, I know! I'll just keep my legs crossed this time."
Oh, Jessica. Never, ever change. I love you too much.
And speaking of other things I love too much, here's what happens at the foot of my bed every single night:
Are you feeling all the love yet?

17Blind Item: Is Gwyneth Paltrow Having An Affair with Jay-Z?
From Blind Gossip:
We aren't easily surprised, but this one definitely shocked us.
These two celebrity couples have been known to hang out together. The wives are especially close friends.
The first wife is a beautiful, award-winning Actress who has also done some singing on TV and in films. The second wife is an beautiful, award-winning Singer who has also done some acting on TV and in films. Both women's husbands are also famous and very successful in the entertainment industry.
Well, two of these people are even closer than we thought. It turns out that the Actress has hooked up several times with the Singer's husband in the past few years.
This surprised us for several reasons. First, because the two women are practically best friends, and their friendship would end if the Singer ever found out. Second, because all of these people travel and are photographed so much that it would take some crazy planning to have an affair without anybody noticing. And third, because the Actress had a history of dating very attractive guys when she was a single lady… and the Singer's husband doesn't exactly fall into that category.
So this is pretty clear, right? Gwyneth Paltrow is the actress who sings sometimes, Beyonce is the singer who acts sometimes. They're total besties. The actress' history of dating very attractive dudes, that's Brad Pitt. Nobody calls Jay-Z pretty. It's pretty simple, isn't it?
But while I don't have any doubts that this is what the blind item is about, I kind of don't believe it. I just really, really can't see Gwyneth Paltrow and Jay-Z boning. Can you? Can you even try? I started to, but then my brain kind of shut down, like it was telling me that I was about to unnecessarily hurt myself.
What do you guys think about this?

14Kris Jenner Won't Let Kim Kardashian Get That Annulment
Well, goodness gracious! All this time that Kris Humphries has been pushing for an annulment, Kim Kardashian has been perfectly willing to agree to his terms – the marriage was a fraud, y'all – but she hasn't yet. And you know why? It's because Kris Jenner is the worst mom ever, that's why.
From Radar:
Kim Kardashian is willing to give her estranged husband, NBA star Kris Humphries, an annulment on the grounds that the marriage is fraudulent, but her momager, Kris Jenner, has shot it down because she fears that it will damage the Kardashian brand, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
"Kim has made it known that she is ready to give Kris an annulmentbecause she just wants to move on with her life. If she doesn't give an annulment, Kim will be forced to testify at a trial after her baby is born this summer, which is the last thing she will want to do," a source told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
"Kim's baby daddy, Kanye West, doesn't understand why she hasn't already just given Kris the annulment. Kim's momager, Kris Jenner is adamantly protesting to her daughter's idea because of the possible ramifications it could have for the Kardashian empire. Kris is concerned about the negative press and criticism Kim will get if she goes through with it. Kris' main concern is how E! would react to Kim's decision since the network aired their wedding special," the insider added.
I still don't understand this seemingly constant fear of "damaging the brand." It's not like this is the thing that's going to make or break the Kardashians. No, the Kardashians have move passed that point, and now they will live on regardless. Like cockroaches.
But still, would an annulment really do more damage than that tiny little Kimye baby at the divorce trial?

1I Hate Everything About Britney's Broken Engagement
I don't know when I grew so many strong feelings for Britney Spears, but they're definitely there now. I loved her when I was 10 and her first album came out, and I've obviously felt a lot of sympathy for her over these past few years. But it's never been to the point where I felt the need to talk to every single person I know about how horrible her situation is. If you couldn't tell, that's the point that I'm at now.
Just listen to this new story from People:
The new year has already been full of change for Britney Spears.
She's left her gig as judge on The X Factor, her new puppy Hannah is gravely ill, and on Jan. 11 she announced she and fiancé Jason Trawick, 41, have called it quits after more than three years together.
While Spears, 31, told PEOPLE in an exclusive statement, "I'll always adore him, and we will remain great friends," a family source says the signer is "definitely upset about the split."
What tore the couple apart? Spears, who has two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline, had hoped to start a family soon with Trawick, but he wasn't ready. Says the close source: "There were so many issues he wanted worked out before that" – including her neediness. "It was difficult for Jason to have his own life."
Adds an insider: "Britney is very insecure and has had a lot of trouble with jealousy." These insecurities may be heightened now. "[She] is very worried about being alone," says the family source. "She is upset, but for a long time she has treated him like a friend, not a romantic partner." The family source adds that some close to the singer, who had a breakdown in 2008, "are concerned about her future."
I hate this so much. Maybe "it was difficult for Jason to have his own life" because he made the choice to be legally responsible for Britney's life as well. Maybe she was needy because, according to the terms he agreed to, she needed him to do almost anything from spending her own money to making phone calls. Maybe she's insecure because he's treated her like a child for the duration of their time together, and that makes a romantic relationship pretty f-cking weird. I don't know, I'm just speculating here.

3Here's This Portrait of Channing Tatum Made Entirely of Mike & Ikes
I love Channing Tatum, ok? I love him to death. I don't think he's, like, the sexiest man alive or anything, but I just think he seems so charming and likable in all his interviews and in all of his movies. My boyfriend agrees, and that's why we've started a Channing Tatum movie collection. That's also why we affectionately refer to him as "The Tater." There's a whole lot of Tater love going on in my house.
But you guys, Mike & Ikes? SO GROSS. Ugh, just seeing this portrait – made by pop artist Jason Mercier, by the way – fills me with disappointment from all my Halloweens past. I can't even take this. The portrait was made using 5,000 Mike & Ikes, and that makes me want to vomit 5,000 times. Mike & Ikes are even worse than Milk Duds, and that's really saying something.
So basically, it's early, I fell in the snow after being outside for like three seconds in the snow, I'm cold, and now I feel sick after looking at so many stupid Mike & Ikes. But I love Channing Tatum. So I think this is still going to be a good day.

April 2, 2012 — We are very saddened to announce that Professor Werner Krandick passed away on Monday, March 26, 2012. His passing was unexpected and he will be sorely missed by the Drexel community.
Dr. Krandick received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Ohio State University in 1992 where he wrote his thesis, "Symbolic Methods for Polynomial Complex Root Calculation," under the supervision of his advisor, Dr. George Collins. Prior to achieving his Ph.D., he received his B.S. and M.S. in Mathematics respectively at Universität Freiburg in 1981 and Universität Bonn in 1987.
He joined Drexel University as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science in 2001 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2006. Dr. Krandick was an outstanding professor whose lectures were detailed and precise, allowing students to fully comprehend complicated mathematical reasoning. He regularly taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in algorithms, data structures, cryptography, symbolic computation, software engineering, and theoretical computer science. He also served as senior design coordinator and regularly advised teams that placed highly in the Computer Science senior design competition; one team (joint with Mechanical Engineering) built a system for remote-controlled aircraft crack monitoring and won first place in the College of Engineering competition.
Before working at Drexel, Dr. Krandick was a postdoctoral researcher at the Universität Paderborn in Germany, as well as the Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC) in Linz, Austria where he was a Lise Meitner Fellow.
Dr. Krandick's research interests were in symbolic computation, high-performance computing, and mobile collaboration. He was an active member in his research community, serving as Vice Chair of ACM's special interest group on symbolic and algebraic manipulation (SIGSAM), the steering committee of International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC), and the local arrangements chair for East Coast Computer Algebra Day (ECCAD) 2006 and ISSAC 2003 when they were held at Drexel.
He has contributed many significant results in the design, implementation, and analysis of algorithms for polynomial root calculation, including a very recent result titled "On the computing time of the continued fractions method," where a tight upper bound on the computing time is proved. This result, co-authored with his advisor Dr. Collins, will appear in the Journal of Symbolic Computation, the main journal in the field.
The paper proves a theorem that is barely two lines long, providing a computing time bound for a 20-line algorithm. The discovery is incredibly remarkable because it is the first time in 30 years of experimentation anyone has even conjectured the computing time bound. Also, the proof of the bound requires more than 80 theorems and lemmas. The result was obtained when Drs. Krandick and Collins were collaborating on their book about polynomial real root isolation.
Dr. Krandick was a valuable member of the Department of Computer Science, the College of Engineering, Drexel University, and his research community. He was a great friend and will be very much missed.
Arrangements for a memorial service will be announced soon. Flowers and condolences can be sent to: Petra Krandick

You'll be flooded with the excitement and sensations of hearing a jet engine wind up ... the semi-sweet smell of jet fuel ... the exhilaration of hearing the jet engines follow you wherever you go ... and the great power as you move the throttles forward. You'll become immersed in new concepts, a new flight environment, and elegant systems that'll provide you with new levels of comfort and safety.
