[sage-devel] Can someone review a python update please Dr. David Kirkby Sun May 30 16:00:38 2010The module _socket was failing to build on OpenSolaris. I've reported this as a bug, and between myself and a python developer, we have a solution. I'd like someone to review it.
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9041I realise not many people have OpenSolaris installed, so you will just have to trust me that that it does build the _socket module, though of course I've shown the output on the trac ticket.
I've shown the results of the build when tested on * Linux (sage.math) * OS X (bsd.math) * Solaris 10 SPARC (my own machine) * OpenSolaris (my own machine).The patch file looks huge, but that is because it has a lightly modified copy of a huge file in python. The actual changes to the C code are quite small.
If someone could take a look at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9041I would appreciate it, before someone else makes yet another change to python, and I have to rebase it again!

Less than three days until we close on our new place!
Three words, okay, maybe five words: Cardboard, Kraft Easy Mac, and Home Depot.
We made the official first homeowner's trip to Home Depot yesterday, and delightfully [but thoughtfully] loaded up the cart with supplies for the first round of projects in the house, starting ... drum roll ... in four days. And so began our first money bomb drop.
Very exciting.
Very expensive.
C and I don't have any credit cards and honestly we've blossomed financially without them. People have told us that home repairs always lead to other home repairs and take twice as long as you plan for. We've tried to over budget for projects, and broke them up in order of urgency. The house has just the right amount of repairs needed without being overwhelming [which is now on the record]. We know wonderful it is to run an ole' credit card through, leaving with your sweet checking account undisturbed. But living without them has never let us down. There's an unspoken pride in living off the card. For two years, we have not paid a credit card bills.
That isn't to say this week we aren't a little tight. We're blessed with family who graciously have us over to eat. This morning I was quite worried about being in a tight financial squeeze because the down payment is a bit more, and Chris' car just lost its muffler.
I felt a quiet still voice inside say, "I am taking care of your finances." I decided I would buy some things we needed after church but was in and out of fearful feelings.
When I arrived at church an hour late, my mom had a bag of her garden's bounty for us and a bag of pastas...in my favorite brands. I thanked her a dozen times. I shared the story of my fear with her. Anyone who knows my gorgeous Sicilian mother knows that she eats a diet free of sugar, gluten, processed flours or most flours altogether, and most fruits [sugar content]. The diet has worked wonders for her health, but of course her parting words as she handed me the bag of goodies were: "You shouldn't eat the pasta."
I love you, Mom.
And I will eat pasta for a long, long time.

HICKORY, NC (WBTV) – Two 16-year-old girls were arrested over the weekend in connection with the murder of Yellow Cab driver Adam Williams last August in Hickory.
Emily Starnes of Hildebran and Consandra Tyree of Newton were arrested after the Catawba County Grand Jury returned true bills of indictment against them last week.
The pair is charged with murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit murder. Both are being held without bond in the Catawba County Jail.
Their indictments follow similar true bills against two other men.
Camyron Johnson and Matthew Hopkins were indicted last year on murder and robbery charges. A third man, Robert McElwee, was indicted on one count of accessory after the fact.
Adam Williams had only worked with the Yellow Cab Company for a few weeks and had planned to leave that job for another. He had two shifts left with the cab company when he was killed.
Williams went to the closed Fuddruckers Restaurant along Highway 70 to pick up a fare. Instead, he was attacked in the cab and stabbed repeatedly. He struggled to a restaurant next door to ask for help but died before an ambulance arrived.
"It just makes no sense," said Ronald Stevens who manages the Yellow Cab Company in downtown Hickory. Williams had only $39 on him when the murder happened.
"It could have been any one of us," said one cab driver on Monday. It is a part of the job, they say, that is always on their mind. George Huffman said he tries to put it out of his mind. "It is what I chose to make a living," he said about his driving job.
The arrest of the two 16-year-olds doesn't surprise the cabbies and they say they have little sympathy for the two girls.
"If they done the crime they need to pay for it no matter how old they are," said Wayne Stewart.
Hickory Police Captain Thurman Whisnant said investigators have been following leads for months and the evidence reached the level where it was time to take some action.
The two girls had been charged with obstruction of justice but evidence showed their involvement may have been more than first thought.
"We met with the District Attorney and collectively decided to take the cases to the Grand Jury." Whisnant called the case and the arrests "a tragedy."
Bond for Emily Starnes was set at $230,000 on Tuesday.

Scorpio people know a lot and often reveal very little. They have a sixth sense for what goes unsaid, and quickly spot hidden agendas. Scorpio is a scrying water sign that feels out a situation for its unconscious undercurrents. The Scorpio energy now heightens our awareness of what's going on below the surface.
In our relationships, so much goes unsaid. We sense another's vulnerabilities, and if we're friends, we instinctively try to help them build confidence. But sometimes we sense a friend's jealousy, even though they may vehemently deny it. When the Sun is in Scorpio, we can get to the root of our own covert feelings, so they don't send mixed messages to those we love.
We can build trust this month by keeping a secret. Or, you can know the catharsis of telling your own dark secret. When you tell the right person, at the right time, revealing what lies in your shadows is liberating. You discover that someone can love the real you, warts and all.

Herman Cain, the former Godfather's Pizza CEO and 2012 Republican candidate for the presidency, expressed his disappointment that President Barack Obama would not be impeached during a conference call with reporters Tuesday night.
"It would be a great thing to do," Cain said when asked about impeaching the president, "but because the Senate is controlled by Democrats we would never be able to get the Senate first to take up that action, because they simply don't care what the American public thinks. They would protect him and they wouldn't even bring it up."
Cain's understanding of impeachment, however, is confused.
The Senate does not lead the impeachment process — they are not the "first to take up that action," as Cain said. The House of Representatives has the constitutional right to draw up articles of impeachment and vote on them, therefore technically impeaching the president. The Senate then can try the president, and remove him from office if found guilty. For example, President Bill Clinton was impeached by the House, but acquitted by the Senate.
Cain pointed to the Obama administration's plan to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 law that bans states from recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states, as an impeachable offense. Obama has said that DOMA is unconstitutional.
In the past, Cain has singled out Obama's position on DOMA, but has never explicitly said he would like to see the president impeached for it.
"I think it is a breach of presidential duty bordering on treason," Cain told the National Organization for Marriage, a conservative group against same-sex marriage. "The oath of office by the president says that he will protect, observe, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, which means all of its subsequent laws. The fact that he says that he has asked the Department of Justice not to enforce it, to me, is a breach duty as President of the United States."
The U.S. Constitution defines treason as an impeachable offense.
Cain also cited Obama's health care legislation overhaul as unconstitutional.
"There are a number of things where a case could be made in order to impeach him, but because Republicans do not control the United States Senate, they would never allow it to get off the ground," Cain said.

CATEGORIES Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, Universal, Trailer Trash, Movie Marketing, Remakes and Sequels, Trailers and Clips, Movies, CinematicalAlthough it was recently removed from Universal's January slate (and placed in the "TBD" bin), that won't stop the flick White Noise: The Light from hitting UK cinemas on January 5. The semi-sequel stars Nathan Fillion and Katee Sackhoff; random internet buzz asserts that Universal wants to hold the U.S. release until Fillion's Drive debuts on Fox later this year, but the delay could also be a lot simpler: Maybe the movie stinks.
But while all you Fillion fans scratch your head and pout about not being able to see White Noise 2 next month, here's the flick's first official theatrical trailer. (After just watching the clip, I'm more comfortable calling it a "teaser" and not a "trailer.") You can also add a friend's name to the trailer in order for them to get a "creeeepy" message when the clip ends, but I generally don't bother with such silliness.
The original White Noise (which starred Michael Keaton) inspired a sequel by debuting last January and riding a pretty impressive opening to a $57 million domestic haul. Aside from seeing Keaton back on the silver screen (and in a starring role, no less) I didn't think a whole lot of White Noise, and the sequel looks to be the same deal for me: Big fan of the star; not so interested in dead people who speak through radio static.
For the record, White Noise 2 was directed by the man who brought us Dracula 2000 (as well as its two sequels) and was written by Matt Venne, who has an episode of Masters of Horror under his belt.

A valley school is selling T-shirts with an innuendo some parents are upset about.
North Pointe Preparatory, near 43rd Avenue and Peoria, is selling T-shirts that say "WTF" on the front for students to wear during spirit week. The school has students in 7th through 12th grade.
WTF is widely known to mean "What the F***," but the school says it stands for "We're the Falcons."
The principal reportedly came up with the slogan and design for the shirts.
Either way, the principal is taking some heat because some say it's sending the wrong message.
FOX 10 talked to a mother whose daughter goes to the school and she says she's a little on the fence about what the shirt says.
Would you let your child wear the shirt?

Macon, GA—First-year students at Mercer University School of Medicine and Southern School of Pharmacy recently received their first lesson in professionalism and compassion at White Coat Ceremonies in Macon and Atlanta.
During separate ceremonies, 60 medical students and 136 pharmacy students were cloaked in white coats, symbolizing a commitment to the responsibility of health care professions.
The School of Medicine on Mercer's Macon campus welcomed its largest class this year. Dr. Harold Katner, Mercer professor of internal medicine and nationally recognized humanitarian, delivered the keynote address and advised first-year students of the importance of humanism in medicine. Students also recited the Oath of Geneva.
"We hope this ceremony clarifies for our students that a physician's responsibility is to not only cure a patient, but to care for them as well," said Ann C. Jobe, dean of the School of Medicine.
First-year students in the Southern School of Pharmacy also donned white coats, a tradition designed to help instill a sense of the School's core values of professionalism, respect, integrity and caring. With one of the largest applicant pools in the nation, the School has brought in its most academically qualified class, with a grade point average of 3.42. The School also celebrates 100 years in pharmacy education this fall.
Pamala Marquess, a 1993 graduate of the School and Georgia Pharmacy Association Pharmacist of the Year for 2001, delivered the keynote address to students. She reflected on her own journey through pharmacy school and reminded students to be passionate about their work. The ceremony concluded with students reciting the Oath of Professionalism.
"Our School has a history of excellence and a legacy of caring," said H.W. "Ted" Matthews, dean of the Southern School of Pharmacy. "This ceremony represents our students' commitment to health care and to the pharmacy profession."

The helmets on this page were in need of some repair or restoration at some time during their life. Several of the helmets were professionally touched using original Third Reich-era parts and decals, while others were repaired with reproduction parts. Phil appreciated the beauty of these helmets, and we hope that you will to. Some of the helmets in the collection were studio props (as noted in their description), which would certainly make a great conversation piece in any collection.
Several of the helmets listed below have an SS decal attached to the helmet. We were told that these decals are original Third Reich decals and were manufactured by "Huber, Jordan & Koerner" or simply "Huber & Jordan". This company is a well-known manufacturer of decals that was very productive during the Third Reich years. Some collectors argue that Huber, Jordan & Koerner never produced SS decals, while some collectors swear that they did.
The point that I'm trying to make here is that there are two sides of the fence on this issue. We (myself and the family) are not choosing a side, as we are not advanced helmet collectors and do not have the experience to authenticate these decals. We are only trying to honorably sell Phil's collection for what it is.
Simply put, the ongoing battle concerning these decals will not be fought here. It can be discussed on forums or under the vendors' tables. We are merely presenting Phil's helmets as they are and you will decide if one of these helmets belong in your collection or not. Either way, these decals display very well on the helmets.

In the full fiscal year, sales rose 17.1 percent to 996 million pounds, or $2 billion, from 850.3 million pounds, or $1.61 billion. All figures have been converted from the pound at average exchange rates for the respective periods.
The company said in a statement Tuesday that the brand's growing nonapparel categories, including handbags, shoes and soft accessories — which now account for 33 percent of Burberry's retail and wholesale revenues — along with a "consistent marketing message," had helped the group weather the recent turbulence in consumer spending.
The company issued a trading statement Tuesday, and will release full results for the financial year ended March 31 on May 28.
"Burberry had a good finish to the year, against the background of an increasingly challenging external environment," said Angela Ahrendts, chief executive of Burberry. "Looking forward, we [are very pleased] with the momentum of our brand as our core luxury, retail and nonapparel strategies continue to gain traction, while our seasoned management team focuses on improving the operational aspects of our business."
Retail sales in the second half rose 17 percent to 282 million pounds, or $567.4 million, from 241 million pounds, or $466.1 million, in the same period last year. The company said retail revenues made up more than 50 percent of its total sales in the half, and were driven by sales of handbags and shoes, alongside outerwear and dresses.
In the U.S., the company said it saw "double-digit" comparable-store sales growth, with strong performance in tourist and oil-producing cities.
Overall, sales in the U.S. rose 19 percent to 137 million pounds, or $275.6 million, from 115 million pounds, or $222.4 million, while sales in the Asia-Pacific region rose 16 percent and in the rest of the world — excluding Europe and North America — sales rose 87 percent to 18 million pounds, or $36.2 million. Average retail selling space increased 12 percent in the second half, during which the company opened nine stores, 40 concessions, five outlets and its first stand-alone children's store in Hong Kong.

I've had quite the absence from the old bog. I would first like to apologize to those I encouraged to follow this blog. I have simply been overwhelmed with more pressing responsibilities and this blog was the first to go. I still follow some pottery related blogs, hoping to keep my toe in the water, but I have found that writing about my career as a potter has been put on the back burner. We as a country are struggling financially, and many of us, individually, are as well. This means that we need to work more, sell more, and care more for our immediate needs. Our families are what is most important. We need to keep things in perspective. I have been working lately like I have never worked before. There is no, or very little, recreation. I work every moment I can, knowing that I need to provide for my family. This is how it has to be right now. Its been said around the campfire, that those who are kicking ass in their profession aren't necessarily writing about it. Why? Well, because they are working their ass off. Well, I'm not sure I'm kicking ass these days, but I do know that I am working my ass off. That's what it takes. I wonder if this is the last blog post. Honestly, with other social media outlets, the blog seems a little unnecessary. Right? It seems like the blogs peaked a year ago, and now are dying. Of course there are a few great blogs to follow, but in general they all show up on facebook anyway. I will still follow my blog roll and those blog rolls on the blogs I follow. However, again, I usually see them on 'networked blogs' on Facebook before I get to the actual blog page. What do you think? I'll leave you with a photo of what motivates me to work like crazy....my children.

No it's not just a distress call, but hopefully I got your attention! Happy May Day folks. It's a shout for the workers and a time to get your bells out and dance around the May pole!
The earliest May Day celebrations were actually about the festival of Flora, the roman goddess of flowers which may explain in a rather loose way the jump to fertility, may poles and men in ribbons and bells but possibly not the labour movement or the distress call! Internationally workers are celebrating the social and economic achievements of the labour movement, which may not be that clear in the economic gloom! But in its simplest form, May Day promotes 8 hours of work, 8 hours of recreation and 8 hours of sleep! Now we might not all enjoy that but it's great to know the thought is there (personally I would love the sleep part!).
I often think how odd how things evolve and change in meaning; the 'chinese whisper' effect combined with the power of word of mouth and the subjectivity of opinion. There are lots of examples such as May Day, words with double meanings or that once meant one thing and then moved on to mean something else. A tale someone tells another, develops and grows in to something different – the power of communication in whatever form is one to be admired.
In our line of work it is something we harness to create a story to engage the customer, inspiring them to buy, refer or develop their loyalty – essential in today's climate. This is something we all need to be clever about. We have to make sure our whisper is louder than someone else's, that our messages mean the right thing to the right person. Those who succeed at this will be the businesses that emerge from the end of the tunnel.
For now whether you are the kind of person who sashays around a pole, bells jangling and hankies waving or you prefer other more conventional pursuits, enjoy a wonderful May Bank Holiday. Comments and pictures are most welcome, whatever you get up to!

'Poson Vandana' Free Shuttle Train Takes Lifesavers to Anuradhapura
The 'Poson Vandana' train with AVIVA NDB and NDB Bank co-branding
June 8, 2012 Colombo: For the third consecutive year, the free Poson Vandana shuttle train between Anuradhapura and Mihintale was available for the safety and convenience of Poson pilgrims and this year the train was brightly co-branded and sponsored jointly by AVIVA NDB Insurance and NDB Bank.
AVIVA NDB Insurance facilitated the presence of around 575 lifesavers from the Lifesaving Association of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka Police and Navy at reservoirs and lakes in and around Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Dambulla during the Poson season. An estimated one million pilgrims visit Anuradhapura during the Poson season and the AVIVA NDB safety programme has significantly reduced the number of deaths from drowning over the years. This is the 19th consecutive year that the Company conducted a safety programme for Poson pilgrims.
Amal Perera, General Manager, Marketing & Bancassurance explained: "The Poson safety campaign is one of our main Corporate Responsibility initiatives that fulfils an important national need. We are very happy to have joined hands with NDB Bank this year in making the shuttle service available for the benefit of devotees who visited the Sacred City."

CNN's Velshi Bashes Ethics of U.S. Chamber of Commerce with Left-Wing Talking Points
Someone should tell CNN anchor Ali Velshi that attacking the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for its political activities is so last week.
During the "XYZ" segment of the hour he anchors of "CNN Newsroom" on Oct. 25, Velshi did his best impersonation of an MSNBC anchor and railed against the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for its political activities. Velshi lamented the barrage of negative advertising in this campaign cycle and all but tied the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to it.
Video Below Fold
"It is time now for the 'XYZ of it,'" Velshi said. "The midterm elections are just over a week away, which means we are headed into the dirtiest most negative advertising cycle of the campaign. According to the group Campaign Media Analysis, almost half of all TV and other media campaign ads out there this election season are negative. One group out there is front and center – the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a tax-exempt advocate for American businesses that's come out strongly against President Obama's economic reform push and by the way many other things that this administration is trying to do."
According to Velshi, the Chamber is allowing 4 percent of its membership to dictate its campaign message, despite not contemplating the possibility that its activities are in the interest of that other 96 percent.
"The Chamber touts itself as the world's largest business federation fighting for free enterprise in Congress," Velshi continued. "While the Chamber can boast that more than 96 percent of its members are small businesses from across the country it stands accused of channeling huge sums of corporate money from the other 4 percent of its members into negative ad campaigns somewhat anonymously. That's because it's very hard to know just who is funding these ad blitzes. The donors are never publicly disclosed and the Chamber goes out of its way to keep them secret."
And imagine this – Velshi argued there was some sort of negative connotation attached to big businesses acting in their best interest – whether it was against the so-called financial regulation reform that made its way through Congress earlier this year or a push to get Congress to legislatively limit lawsuits.
"Some donations can be pieced together through tax filings and other public records," he said. "For example, The New York Times says Prudential Financial donated $2 million to the Chamber's ad campaigns to try to weaken financial reform. Eight million dollars came from a group consisting of Goldman Sachs, Chevron Oil and Dutch multinational insurer AEGON to wage a national campaign to put limits on suing big businesses. And no doubt similar money is going into individual races by way of expensive issue ads this election season."
Then to top it off, Velshi cited the meme that the Chamber is getting secret money from foreign donors – one that has its roots from the left-wing blogosphere and pushed by the Obama White House. According to Velshi, while the Chamber's activities are legal, they may not be ethical.
"President Obama has accused the Chamber of using foreign money to funds ad campaigns and individual races," Velshi continued. "The Chamber denies that but some say it's besides the point. Because of the earlier Citizens United Supreme Court decision, big corporations have almost no real limits on how much they can spend to influence political issues. U.S. Chamber of Commerce knows this and is soliciting big business in a big way to fund its views. What it's doing is legal. Just another reminder that what's legal and what's ethical aren't always one and the same."
But even The New York Times has questioned the wisdom of this tired argument Velshi is replaying. The Times admitted on Oct. 8 there wasn't anything to substantiate the lefties' accusation: "[T]here is little evidence that what the Chamber does in collecting overseas dues is improper or even unusual, according to both liberal and conservative election-law lawyers and campaign finance documents."
"Organizations from both ends of the political spectrum, from liberal ones like the A.F.L.-C.I.O. and the Sierra Club to conservative groups like the National Rifle Association, have international affiliations and get money from foreign entities while at the same time pushing political causes in the United States," the Times continued.
If that's indeed the case, will Velshi go after these organizations that are supporting Democratic candidates as aggressively as he has attacked the Chamber?

The Democrats won the last two elections. Money was spent. Did money "buy" the last two elections?
We may not know the donors, but we know where the money was spent. So, no matter where the money came from, we can see plainly how the money is used. What is it about that spending that is "buying" elections or subverting freedom?
Again, I argue that political spending, for the vast majority of cases, means ads. And I deny, once again, that ads make much of a dent. EJ Dionne, as disingenuous a pundit as we have these days (he rivals Krugman), offers the same argument yet again:
- "Some have even maintained that money doesn't really matter in elections, which makes you wonder why people who know quite a lot about politics (one thinks of Karl Rove) have spent so much energy organizing these fundraising and advertising efforts."
- As always, the only argument they offer is that [of course they work, otherwise why would people spend the money on it?]
- That's the same argument behind "The Emperor's New Clothes." Of course he's wearing gold robes! Can't you see them, and be like the rest of us???"
Let's all play Spot the Assumption.
I argue that they spend that much money for the same reason baseball teams fire the manager. They have nothing else to do. The only influence they have is minimal, but it's all they have.
The people who profit from their contributions tell them that they have to do something. And if they don't, the other guy will get ahead of them!!!
It's ... a ... scam ...

I guarantee if your opponent spends millions on ads while you spend zero, you're probably going to lose. That's why someone like Karl Rove spends so much time and energy on fundraising for advertising. Ads don't guarantee a win, but no ads while your opponent runs them pretty much guarantees a loss.

Submitted by KC Mulville on Tue, 10/26/2010 - 11:49am.
If incumbents already have the advantage of name recognition, then there's no need to spend any money, is there? But incumbents spend the most of all.
Consider this: Which do you think matters more, name recognition or party affiliation? When you go into a voting booth and you don't know anything about either candidate, do you vote for one because you've heard their name before, or do you look to see what party they belong to?
And is it realistic to believe that voters go into the booth, completely and utterly unaware of the candidates until they see the names on the ballot, so that their only thought while voting is "I've heard of him." ? How many Forrest Gumps do you think are out there?
And even if we grant that some do ... do you really believe that this is true for a substantial number of voters?
- I admit, when I go into the booth, I usually see some voter referendum that I'd heard nothing about. Usually it's a proposal to remodel the library or clean the baseball fields. But those don't count, because no one spends money on ads for those things. We're talking about money spent to influence my vote.
Now ... assuming we agree that the number of "blank slate" voters who entirely base their vote on a momentary name recognition is relatively few (debate possible) ... are you willing to say that the billions of dollars of spent in politics to capture these dunces is really "corrupting our freedom?"
I mean, if they spend a billion dollars to hoodwink a couple hundred voters ... do you feel that betrays the other millions of people who voted based on a careful examination of the issues?
Doesn't add up.

The chamber is made up of business people. Their sole interest is to make money. If the US Congress enacts regulations and taxes that make it cheaper to move jobs out of the country then that's what any sane businessman will do. If you want jobs to stay in the country you study what the business conditions are where those jobs are moving to and adjust your business climate to compete.

Between 1991 and 2001, employment at foreign subsidiaries of U.S. multinationals rose by 2.8 million jobs; during that same period, employment at their parent firms in the U.S. rose by 5.5 million jobs. For every job "outsourced" to India and other foreign countries, nearly two new jobs were generated here in the U.S.

Outsourcing versus Insourcing. Countries around the world are outsourcing their jobs to the United States in huge numbers, according to the Organization for International Investment:
- For the past 15 years, corporations have moved jobs to the United States at a faster rate than jobs have left, for an 82 percent increase in insourced jobs compared to a 23 percent increase in outsourced jobs. [See the figure.]
- Manufacturing jobs have been insourced at an even faster pace than service jobs, more than doubling over the period (though beginning from a smaller base).
- Jobs insourced to the United States increased from 4.9 million in 1991 to 6.4 million in 2001.
The Benefits of Outsourcing. Contrary to popular belief, abundant evidence shows that American consumers, workers and businesses are benefiting from outsourcing.
Increase in Product Availability. An Institute for International Economics study by Catherine Mann notes that globalization of computer hardware manufacturing led to a 10 to 30 percent decline in prices, making such equipment more affordable and leading to a far greater increase in jobs in the long run.
Stronger U.S. Job Demand. Mann believes globalization of Information Technology (IT) services "will yield even stronger job demand in the United States for workers with IT proficiency and skills." Indeed, she notes that overall employment in job classifications most affected by IT service outsourcing is rising, not falling.
Competitive Gains for Small Businesses. Researchers have also found that small firms and new startups gain more from outsourcing than large corporations. The latter have managerial structures that hinder their ability to take full advantage of outsourcing's benefits. Smaller and younger companies can easily organize themselves to utilize outsourcing, thereby gaining sales and competing better in today's global marketplace.
Rising Standards of Living. Indians now doing jobs outsourced from America are seeing a rapid rise in their wages and standard of living. In the process, they are becoming more like Americans, which is translating into demand for American goods and lifestyles. Thus, according to the McKinsey Global Institute, for every $1 outsourced, the economic gain to the United States as a whole is $1.12 to $1.14; whereas the country to which a job is outsourced gains just 33 cents.

It was
a situation where heartbreak turned to joy for about 100 friends, family, and

It all started around 6 in the morning Thursday
when her parents noticed she was missing from her Franklin County, Mo. home.
When rescuers first found Maria in a dry
creek bed, she had no pulse, they thought she was dead.
But moments later, some
feel they witnessed a miracle.
Suddenly, she moved. That's when a neighbor, an ER doctor, ran
over and revived her.
Authorities believe hypothermia
had started to set in, and that's why they couldn't find a pulse.
According to her parents, Maria
went to bed around 9. When they realized she was gone they noticed her alarm
clock was set for 2 a.m.
Investigators say it looks
like she may have run away.
Authorities say Huber was
talking as she was transported to the hospital.
Her parents told police
she was upset about something that happened at school Wednesday.
Still, the most important
thing for everyone is they're just thankful 11 year old Maria Huber is alive.

AFA Official's Disturbing Take on CO Shooting
July 20, 2012 by Dan Rafter, Associate Director of Communications
This won't come as a shock, but is disturbing nonetheless: the news director for the anti-LGBT hate group American Family Association, Fred Jackson, is blaming today's tragic Colorado shooting on churches increasingly teaching that "God is ok with homosexuality."
Right Wing Watch has the audio. On an AFA program earlier today, Jackson said: "… the sources of this is multi-faceted, but I think you can put it all under the heading of rebellion to God, a rejection of the God of the Bible… We've been dealing …with denominations that no longer believe in the God of the Bible, they no longer believe that Jesus is the only way of salvation, they teach that God is okay with homosexuality; this is just increasing more and more. It is mankind shaking its fist at the authority of God."
Jackson's co-host agreed: "God will not be silent when He's mocked, and we need to remember that."

I really think there is a chance TT moves up in either the 1st or 2nd rds. With 10 picks (I think), TT has plenty of ammunition to move up. And we don't need 10 new rookies.
A first round trade could involve our 1st, 3rd, and 4th (something similar to the Clay deal). I'd absolutely sacrifice our 3rd rounder and 4th (considering we have another 4th rd pick soon after our own). If we move up in the 1st, I can see TT targeting either Upshaw or Barron (b/c Collins appears done).
As second round deal could be just the 2nd and 3rd. Frankly, at this point, I think it's too hard to gauge the player he'd target in this scenario. Probably a talker for Thursday night after the 1st round. But, someone will start to slide. Maybe someone like a Zach Brown from UNC could be a target.
I really hope TT takes this approach. What does everyone else think? Who are some targets for us in the 1st and 2nd rd. if we move up?
