Purchasing Power Parity and Real Exchange Rate in Japan
AbstractThis paper examines the validity of both the short-run and long-run purchasing power parity (PPP) hypotheses in Japan using two estimation methods, namely, a unit root test and an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegration test. Some important findings are obtained from our analysis. The first test reveals the mean reversion of real exchange rate (RER) in the long-run. On the other hand, from the second test, we found that there is a strongly robust long-run PPP relationship but no significant short-run PPP relationship. Furthermore, unlike the previous literature, this paper confirms the stability of the estimated results by CUSUM and CUSUMQ tests. Overall, the results suggest that PPP hypothesis in Japan strongly holds for the long-run while not for the short-run.

OK guys, I'm done. Is there room for the suck for Luck express? If so, I am all in baby. And don't let the title fool you. I am not saying the Dolphins should suck for life as in "God these guys are going to suck for the rest of their life." Just read the post yo.
Three weeks in a row, we get teams where impact players are missing, and somehow find ways to lose. Three weeks in a row, we get into the red zone and come away with more field goals than touchdowns. Three weeks in a row, we get to watch our highly paid superstars drop balls and miss tackles. Three weeks in a row, we get to watch the team we love suck the life out of us.
I am a Dolphin fan through and through. And if you even have the nerve to question my fandom because I am wishing to lose the rest of the way, then you haven't been paying attention. Everyone has their own way to get behind their team, so this is mine.
First off, expecting the Dolphins to win really isn't an option anymore. So why fight it? Why get all pumped up for Sunday when you will be left disappointed? Next year can be the year that changes everything. New management, new personnel, and possibly a franchise quarterback. Something that has been missing from this team for 11 years. The excitement for Dolphin football is getting to be for naught. I listened to calls lined up on the Ticket this morning about parents talking about how disinterested their kids are in the Dolphins. Why? Because the fan base has been deflated.
Of course, I am still behind this team one hundred percent. However, in the state the team is right now, it needs an extreme makeover that Ty Pennington isn't capable of performing. And yes I know all you happy people are going to say, it's only week 4. We can still turn this around. Please. Did you all say that in 2007 too?
Parcells poisoned this franchise. He sold us out. He sits there on ESPN and is hailed as a legend, and perhaps he did some great things in the past, but the Miami Dolphins were a stint, a summer vacation for him; an old man trying to recapture his glory. We have to completely clean out the franchise. And if losing any many games is what it takes to exterminate the poison, we should be OK with that. This team is not going to the playoffs, and if we can't beat the fricking Browns without Peyton Hillis, we have no business on the damn field. Ireland asks players about if their mother is a prostitute or not, Zach Miller, Kevin Boss, and Greg Olsen are all out there for tight ends, instead of drafting QBs, we draft linemen. When does the bleeding stop? How
If you see, the pieces are falling into place. QB injured. RB injured every other week. Overpaid players. Offensive line looks like crap. Leaders on team calling out everyone. General manager hiding. Sounds like 2007, doesn't it? This season is lost. So why not hope for the worst, so next year we get the best? We are not winning anything here. Put the season in a black bag and move it into the hearse. Tell you what, give me that one Camarillo moment and I'll be happy, as long as we find a way to get Andrew Luck and a front office that can make something of this team.
I know this is hard to hear, and its hard for me to write. But sometimes you go through hell to get to heaven. Let's hope we don't get a prankster like Parcells to fix this thing next season.
I am a Dolphins fan forever. However, when was the last time you can remember the defense making a big game changing stop? When was the last time you can remember Henne hitting a play over 30 yards? When was the last time you saw this team compete when they didn't have an easy schedule and the football Gods gave them a QB and injured the class of QBs in our division? I remember those days when the Dolphins were one of the greatest franchises in football. When they were respected and not jeered at. I want those days again, and I know you do too. However, you have to be put under when you get a very massive surgery. And this season, someone hand the fins the oxygen, so they can go out while some doctors are ready to perform. Just remember when we put that oxygen mask over us, we are not just about to suck for Luck, we are not about to suck for oxygen, we are sucking for our future. We are sucking for new life. We are sucking for another chance to be great again, and to contend not just for the division. Not just for the conference, we are prepared to suck so we can win the whole damn thing!

Burt's Bees
After Burt's Bees was acquired by Clorox, a bunch of stores yanked them off the shelf. Bad call. Burt's Bees' sustainability leadership is way ahead of other personal care brands.
They offset their entire power bill with renewable energy. Ditto for their travel. All of their waste vegetable oil (over 80 tons of it) is converted to biofuels. Their salary incentives are tied to sustainability. They're seriously committed to PCR packaging. They're transparent about natural content, including where they fall short.
The Change has designed 3 catalogs for Burt's, as well as their very first Corporate Social Responsibility Report (we collaborated with journalist/novelist Steven Kotler).

Dallas Stars goaltender Kari Lehtonen, who has missed the last two games with a groin injury, skated prior to today's practice and took some shots from goaltending coach Mike Valley.
"He felt marginally better than he did yesterday," said Stars coach Glen Gulutzan. "We'll just have to wait until tomorrow to see where he is at."
Lehtonen remains day-to-day.
Defenseman Trevor Daley, who missed last night's game with a neck injury, skated prior to practice as well. He is doubtful for Saturday's game against San Jose.
"We hope that he is going to be a morning skate guy tomorrow, but playing is highly unlikely," said Gulutzan.
Gulutzan said he and his staff will make a decision later today on whether Cristopher Nilstorp or Richard Bachman will get the start in goal Saturday against the Sharks.
The Stars are 1-6-0 when Bachman and Nilstorp are in net this season, and 7-2-1 with Lehtonen in the pipes. Gulutzan said the Stars have to find a way to get over the hump of winning when Lehtonen is not in goal.
"No question," Gulutzan said. "We did last year. You look when Bachs was starting last year, we did to some extent. We have to push through that some more. We have to find some success."
The Stars spent a lot of time on special teams today, about 40 minutes or so. The power play was 0-5 last night, and is 0-12 over the last three games.
"We need to shoot the puck more," said forward Loui Eriksson. "We need to work hard. We need to get the puck on net, win the battles in the corners and everything. That's what we need to do."

Dalsa reports second quarter 2010 financial results
Dalsa Corporation, an international leader in high performance digital imaging and semiconductors, reported revenue from continuing operations of $52.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and net income from continuing operations of $5.5 million or $0.30 per share, diluted.
Net income in the quarter was positively impacted by $1.1 million or $0.06 per share as a result of Province of Ontario funding relating to certain eligible R&D activities, as described below.
"In the second quarter, we were pleased to see continued strong demand in our Digital Imaging business in all geographic regions, contributing to record revenue in the division and solid earnings company-wide," commented Brian Doody, CEO of DALSA Corporation. "Although the recovery in our Semiconductor business has been slower to materialize than in our Digital Imaging business, we are encouraged by the continued progress we are seeing in our MEMS business. MEMS shipments improved quarter over quarter and our MEMS backlog rose to a record level at the end of June, reflecting an increase in both demand and diversity of customers."
The pretax effect of this funding was a net reduction in R&D expenditures in the second quarter in the Digital Imaging business of $1.5 million. This positively impacted our total net income by $1.1 million or $0.06 per share. We are currently working with the Province of Ontario to schedule an announcement in which we will provide more details on the project.

FGCU Softball Extends Winning Streak to 22
Tuesday, March 21, 2006
Requires Adobe Flash
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The #17th ranked Florida Gulf Coast University softball team extends its winning streak to 22 games after shutout wins over Hillsdale College (MI) in a doubleheader Tuesday night. With the two wins the Eagles are now 39-4 this season. Game one ended with the Eagles winning 8-0 in six innings. FGCU won in seven innings in the nightcap to defeat Hillsdale 4-0 and sweep the series. In the first game, junior Rachael Edinger (Lakeland, FL) pitched a complete game shutout to improve to 18-2. Edinger struck out nine batters while giving up just four hits with one walk. She now has 172 strikeouts with an impressive ERA of 0.53. The Eagles got on the board early, scoring in the bottom of the first inning. The number two hitter, senior Christine Beck (Hudson, FL), singled to the right side to start things out for the Eagles. With Beck on first, junior Jessica Rouse (Jacksonville, FL) crushed the ball over the center field wall giving her 11 home runs for the year. With juniors Rachel Homan (Vero Beach, FL) and Natasha Johnson (Ft. Pierce, FL) on second and third from Hillsdale errors, freshman Cheyenne Jenks (Naples, FL) hit the ball hard towards the third baseman. Hillsdale's third baseman through the ball well over the first baseman's head allowing both Homan and Johnson to score and Jenks to advance to second. Beck stepped in again and singled to right scoring Jenks from second. The Eagles scored two more runs in the fourth inning. After sophomore Alisha Boyd (Naples, FL) singled to the left side, an error by the catcher allowed Beck to reach second, also moving Boyd to third. With one out, Rouse kept up her hot hitting ways with a 2 RBI double to right center. Boyd and Beck both crossed home plate to give the Eagles a commanding 7-0 lead. The final Eagle's run came in the bottom of the 7th. Another sloppy defensive play allowed Beck to reach second base. With a runner in scoring position and two down, sophomore Hillary Johnson (Fort Myers, FL) hit a clutch single up the middle that scored Beck from second. This ended game one as the mercy-rule was put into effect giving the Eagles the 8-0 victory. Beck and Rouse both went 2 for 4 in the game. Beck knocked in one run while Rouse added 4 more RBI. The game 2 starter for the Eagles was freshman Melissa Geissler (Fort Myers, FL). Geissler pitched five solid innings, striking out six before junior Sarah Backe (Flossmoor, Illinois) came in relief. Backe finished the last two innings without giving up a hit to Hillsdale. Geissler improves to 10-2 on the year. Jenks, the Eagle's lead-off hitter, drew a walk in the first inning. Rouse doubled to left field allowing Jenks to score the first run of game two. The Eagles wouldn't score again until the bottom of the fifth inning. Boyd started the offensive surge in the fifth with a double down the left field line. Sophomore catcher Lauren Barraco (North Fort Myers, FL) reached on a bunt single, moving Boyd to third. Eagle's third baseman Jenks, hit a 2 RBI triple to center field that scored both runners. Beck hit an infield single, but a heads up play by Hillsdale's second baseman kept Jenks from scoring. It wouldn't be long before Jenks scored off of a sacrifice fly to right field by Rouse. That was all the offense the Eagles would need, as good pitching shutout Hillsdale for a second time in the same day. Jenks went 2 for 2 with a walk and 2 RBI while Rouse also added two more runs batted in for FGCU. The Eagles pitching staff only allowed nine hits combined in games one and two. FGCU is in action again Thursday as they host Franklin Pierce at 5pm. Franklin Pierce, which is located in New Hampshire, brings in a record of 5-1 on the season.

Thanks guys. I know I should not run that many miles but I'm really liking it right now. My usual was 65 to 70. Now it seems 80 is my normal. I'll have to evaluate and see if I like it at the 80 mark. As long as I can still do some speed work and not die I may keep it in the 80's for this marathon cycle.
I still remember when I met Marjorie at one of Van's challenges. She ran a lot of miles that month (above 300).
yep I'm typically a 300 mile a month girl. Now I will drop down on some months. A challenge going on I will always kick it up. One reason I haven't done the 2013 or other year long games as it tends to make me run even further....
Drink up moho's!!
Afternoon everyone. Eating lunch and warming up right now. Spent 3 hours out on 1 of the process units this morning looking at 1 of the next jobs we will be doing.
Sounds a little chilly Doug.
Good evening! I cant beleive my first week of tech school is done!
Woot, Neil!
I had a nosebleed and asthma during my run (not an attack, just that the breathing was compromised). I still did 10. But bah.

'Boston Strong." The two-word motto has been everywhere in Boston since the Marathon bombings a month ago, a handy shorthand for defiance, solidarity, and caring. In its ubiquity, "Boston Strong" presents a united front in the face of threat.
As a verbal meme, "Boston Strong" spread so quickly that it felt like a blooming organic force. Almost instantly, it adorned countless T-shirts, hats, and ribbons. MBTA buses began flashing it on their LED signs, and a state legislator proposed putting it on a special license plate to raise funds for victims. When a benefit concert headlined by Aerosmith was announced for later this month, "Boston Strong" was the obvious name.

Historical Context of 'Bama's Sanctions Sheds Light on Kiffin
Stumbled across this article from Reign of Troy. It looks at the circumstances surrounding our NCAA sanctions handed down in 2002 and the direction of the program thereafter, and compares USC's current situation to that time in the Crimson Tide's history. The comparison of Lane Kiffin to Dennis Franchione was probably the most noteworthy part; it's something I'm surprised I haven't grasped already. Kiffin's departure from Tennessee was remarkably similar to Franchione's eleventh-hour escape to College Station. Each man revealed a lot about his character (or lack thereof) through those actions.

Radiance of God's Glory
Posted by Christine Parker under Christian Spirituality, Kingdom Theology, Spiritual Formation
[2] Comments
Ever wonder what it means to be Christ-like?
Ever wonder how to know what Jesus would do?
Ever ask how to carry forth Christ's mission in the world?
If you want your life to look like the life of another, then you need to know what the other life looks like. Here is what Jesus' life looked/looks like:
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.
–Hebrews 1:3a
The radiance of God's glory. Sound impossible? It is.
Holy God, grant us this day that we may shine brightly like the Son as the radiance of your glory through the power of your Spirit which indwells us.

[...] First of all, God has no shape or form – therefore no image of God can exist. However He can take any shape or form and often times we mistake that image of God with God, then we start fighting each other over who is right. Anyway… all is how it should be. Here you find some images you can use as representations of God that are in no way accurate. Related to this you can read: http://kingdomunshakeable.org/?p=485 [...]

A man was arrested by police after they said
he robbed a Waffle House.
Derek Slatton is being held on a $50,000 bond
at the Colbert County Jail.
Tuscumbia Police said Slatton left the Waffle
House without paying around 3:30 a.m. Sunday. Investigators said when an
employee confronted him in his car about the unpaid tab; Slatton allegedly
threatened the man, saying he had a gun.
Slatton took off, and the employees got his
tag number and called police. He was picked up by Russellville Police a short
time later.

Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom," Studded With Stage Stars, Now Available for Free Screening
By Kenneth Jones
The first episode of Aaron Sorkin's new TV drama "The Newsroom," which premiered on HBO June 24, is available for free to "all audiences, including non-subscribers," on multiple platforms starting June 25, HBO announced. The series, which takes a look at the failings and potential of TV news, is packed with theatre stars, including Jeff Daniels, who plays a cable news anchor.
The pilot — which earned downbeat reviews from critics but raves from fans of Sorkin's past work ("The West Wing," "Sports Night," A Few Good Men, The Farnsworth Invention) — is live at HBO.com, YouTube, DailyMotion, TV.com and multiple distributors' Free On Demand platforms. The "sampling opportunity" will be available through July 23. The episode will also be available as a free podcast on iTunes during the sampling period.
In "The Newsroom," Daniels (God of Carnage) is joined by Tony Award winner John Gallagher, Jr. (Spring Awakening), Alison Pill (Lieutenant of Inishmore), Jane Fonda (33 Variations, There Was a Little Girl), Sam Waterston (Abe Lincoln in Illinois, The Public's King Lear), Emily Mortimer (The Merchant of Venice, The Light), Thomas Sadoski (The House of Blue Leaves, Other Desert Cities), Josh Pence ("The Social Network"), Olivia Munn and Dev Patel.
Also popping up in the pilot were theatre stars David Cromer (the director-actor of Our Town, and director of Tribes), Elizabeth Marvel (Other Desert Cities), David Harbour (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) and Jason Butler Harner (Cock).
"Newsroom" centers on cable news anchor Will McAvoy (Daniels) and the show's female executive producer, MacKenzie (Mortimer). Here's how HBO describes the series: "From the mind of Aaron Sorkin, creator of 'The West Wing' and screenwriter of 'The Social Network' and 'Moneyball,' comes 'The Newsroom,' a behind-the-scenes look at the people who make a nightly cable-news program. Focusing on a network anchor (Daniels), his new executive producer (Mortimer), the newsroom staff and their boss (Waterston), the series tracks their quixotic mission to do the news well in the face of corporate and commercial obstacles-not to mention their own personal entanglements."
In the series, theatre veterans Pill and Gallagher Jr. are featured as Margaret "Maggie" Jordan and Jim Harper, respectively. When Jim comes to work for McAvoy's program, he begins to develop a crush on Maggie, an associate producer on the assignment desk.
Sorkin, Scott Rudin and Alan Poul are executive producers on the series; Denis Biggs, Greg Mottola and Paul Redford are co-executive producers. Sorkin is writing the libretto to the new musical Houdini.

Springfield police say they have arrested a "strong suspect" in connection with a deadly hit-and-run on Boston Road New Year's Day.
Officers arrested Adam Thurber Friday morning at the Cumberland Farms on West Street in Ludlow on charges of an outstanding warrant from April 2013 for operating under the influence of liquor and a marked lanes violation.
Springfield police believe Thurber may have been behind the wheel of a Ford F-150 that hit and killed Derek Russell on New Year's Day on Boston Road.
That accident is still under investigation and Thurber will face charges on Monday.
He is being held on a high bail.

1. How 'bout that Jake Shields, huh? On a card just filled with one knockout after another, it was nice to finally see a harmless, gentlemanly display of positional control. It was exactly what the crowd needed. Up to that point-and from that point on-everyone was being, like, totally loud and excited and stuff. I'm grateful to Jake for allowing me 20 minutes of peace.
Also, he's really handsome.
2. Edgar/Henderson 2 was literally the first fight I've ever watched and had no idea who won. I think (I had a few beers and only slept 2 hours before work) I gave 1 to Bendo, 2 to Edgar, 3 a 10-10, 4 to Edgar and 5 to Bendo. Both had a few nice moments-Bendo's low kicks and guillotine and Frankie dropping Bendo-but I just don't know....at least now maybe lightweight won't be so clogged up.
3. I wanna be a cowboy...maybe. Big night for Cerrone, who was apparently bullied in high school for wearing a cowboy hat. Even though, if you don't carry 3 guns at all times and eat elk off the side of the road out here you're a gigantic pussy. Let's see: huge comeback KO win over an explosive and athletic former training partner? Check. Getting paid BY YOUR OPPONENT to knock him out? Check. An extra $120,000 in bonuses? Check. Being treated like a god by 18,000 maniacal fans in front of your ex-girlfriend, who also happens to be a UFC ring card girl-playboy model? Checkmate. If that wasn't Cerrone's best night ever, I want to trade lives with him. I'm not sure if the PPV picked it up, but after he wobbled Psychoblack with the headkick, a neon 'Finish him!' graphic appeared above Guillard's head. I don't know how many lasers it took to do that, but it was pretty cool.
4. Prostitutes. Like, everywhere. I can only imagine what a Vegas crowd looks like, because out here, if a girl wasn't wearing 5 inch heels and an alligater-skin dress, she wasn't getting in. Actually, I did see 1 girl in a T-shirt and jeans, but she had to suffer the indignity of not being groped by 3 guys who work part time at the tanning booth and the T Mobile kiosk in the 18th Street mall. I'm really confused by the whole 'I'm going to go watch some fistfights and a Jake Shields match-finally! I've been waiting forever to dress up like a whore!' movement.
5. My gawd that was a lot of knockouts! Fun stuff. My favorite had to be when Kuiper hit Hamman with about 746 clean, unanswered power shots to the head in the first while the ref was eating a sandwich somewhere with Arianny and Brittney. Then, between rounds, the male Denver Nuggets chearleaders came out and slingshotted T-shirts into Hamman's face from point blank range before some random Colorado Avalanche player came out and slung a few slapshots from across the cage at Hamman's head, then Carlos Gonzales walked up and hit Hamman in the face about 15 times with his bat while the ref finished his sandwich. In round 2, Kuiper took over and hit Zombie Hamman with roughly 1714 more killshots to the dome before Hamman finally decided his knee had had enough and he fell down, holding said knee. That assault gif guy must've been pissed at this fight.
6. Oh, eternal love to the BECW crew, but it was nice just watching fights like a fan again. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give UFC 150 a +11.

So, you saw the Padres on SportsCenter last night and thought to yourself, Hey! That team in San Diego looks pretty good, and since my team sucks chicken feet, maybe I'll adopt the Padres this season! Or maybe you normally root for an AL team and you figure it'd be fun to watch that other league sometimes. Adopt the Padres to have something to root for when your team isn't playing! Or maybe you are a fairweather Padres fan, and you're just now coming back into the groove.
Whatever your reason, you're on the Padres Bandwagon now, and there's some things you'll probably want to know. Just so that when the post season rolls around, you're not the only kid on your block who doesn't know how to spell "shillelagh" and so you can sound like you're in the know when talking Padres. Here they are:
The Rally Shillelagh - If the Padres are in need of a rally, Mark Grant, the team's TV color man, breaks out the shillelagh. It's not as big or menacing as a traditional shillelagh, but it gets the job done. Devestating its powers are to see. (I yodaspoke right there and I have no intention of seeing the new Star Wars. Must be osmosis.)
Usage: "I couldn't believe how the offense came to life there in the 7th. Must have been the Rally Shillelagh."
Show your pelo! and Big League Hair - Maybe you haven't noticed, but the Padres have beautiful hair. From Ramon Hernandez's long, flowing locks that flip around whenever he takes his catcher's mask off; To the various frosted tips glistening like golden spikes; to Khalil Greene's rebel vulcan stylings. It's gotten to be a tradition to show off a player's pelo (Spanish for "hair") in celebration of a run scored.
Usage: after a runner comes in to score, "Show your pelo!" Then, once the hair is shown , "That right there is some Big League Hair."
Responses to common subjects when talking about the Padres. So you overhear somebody talking about the Padres and you're at a loss for something to say because you haven't been on the bandwagon that long? Never fear! Just listen for one of these names and say what's in the quotes:
Jake Peavy: "Yeah, Peavy's great. Can you believe he didn't get one Cy Young vote last year? I mean, come on!"
Khalil Greene: "He would've been rookie of the year if it hadn't been for getting hurt at Chavez Ravine. And why does the Chavez Ravine parking lot smell like urine anyway?"
Brian Giles: "I heard he shaves his legs."
Bruce Bochy: "You know what they say about guys with big heads... Yeah, me neither."
Sean Burroughs: "I don't know if he'll ever hit for power, but he was such a cute little fat kid at the Little League World Series."
Phil Nevin: "If it weren't for that guy, the Padres would be undefeated right now."
Trevor Hoffman: (loudly in a screeching voice) "A-ROLLIN' THUNDAH!! A-POURIN' RAAAAAIN!!"
Aki Otsuka: If somebody mentions Aki, don't say anything, just do this: Make a pair of fists. Cock your elbows at 90 degrees. Swing them back and forth in a marching motion. No need to say a word. People will know and some may even buy you a drink for your efforts.
Scott Linebrink, Chris Hammond, Rudy Seanez, Dennys Reyes or anybody else in the Padres bullpen: "Can you give an entire bullpen the MVP award?"
Finally, if you don't get to hear the game on the radio, but somebody's talking about what Jerry Coleman did today, be sure to have checked WDJCDT? for the latest.
Now that you're armed with knowledge, go forth and recruit more Padres fans to the cause! This is our year, baby! Show your pelo!

Gov. Nikki Haley was in Greenville at the Greenville Health System's Children's Hospital on Monday, where she talked about the issue of child abuse.
The governor met with representatives of the hospital to discuss results of a recent statewide assessment on child sexual abuse cases. The report, conducted by Greenville-based nonprofit Silent Tears, closely examined abuse cases in seven South Carolina counties, including Greenville-Spartanburg.
As part of that report, Haley was presented with recommendations on how the state can better respond to cases of child sexual abuse.
During the event, Haley said she was a victim of child abuse as a child, which she disclosed in her 2012 book.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in four women and one in six men are sexually abused before the age of 18, and unfortunately 73 percent of child victims do not tell anyone about the abuse for at least a year.
According to their website, Silent Tears is a nonprofit whose mission is to give a voice to child sexual abuse. The organization was launched earlier this year by Greenville residents and philanthropists Lisa and Bob Castellani.

Yvonne Yen Liu has played at being many things in life. Her first job was at an ice cream shop in Flushing, New York at age 13. She shared the night shift with a colleague. To pass the time, they would make sundaes, such as marshmallow covered pecan and strawberry cheesecake with fudge sprinkles, for the other to eat. To this day, Yvonne detests ice cream. She also played at being a microserf at an obnoxious dot com, a barker at the Coney Island Sideshows by the Seashore, and an online rabble rouser for groups like United for Peace and Justice.
Today, Yvonne is a researcher at the Economic Roundtable and consults for several organizations, including Food First and NUHW. She supported Ragged Wing Ensemble as the production manager for their fall festival, Buried in the Body. Formerly, she was the research director at the Restaurant Opportunities Centers United and the senior researcher at the Applied Research Center. Her writing has been featured in Colorlines, In These Times, and Yes magazine.
Yvonne is a coordinator with the Research Justice Collective. She contributes to the IWW Survey and Research Committee and the Global Supply Chain Study Group. Yvonne has a BA in cultural anthropology from Columbia University and a MA degree in sociology from the CUNY Graduate Center, where she pursued a PhD. She is based in Los Angeles, California.
Yvonne considers herself part of the post-Seattle generation, global justice activists both inspired, yet critical, of the mobilization against the WTO in 1999. Aside from being raised as a red diaper baby, she was politicized by the nascent Reclaim the Streets movement, lured into the first action by the promise of a mobile sound system and party. Radicalized by the experience, Yvonne volunteered with Blackout Books, which introduced her to the Situationists and autonomist politics.
After September 11th, Yvonne engaged deeply with the antiwar movement, cofounding People for Peace at Columbia University with other students and faculty (only an offshoot group, Students for an Orwellian Society, exists as an archive). She helped to mobilize over 10,000 students and youth against the World Economic Forum, which met in New York in 2002, ostensibly in solidarity with the city's tragedy. A counter-summit she organized drew over 2000 attendees, as well as the ire of the university administrators.
Like many in the post-Seattle milieu, Yvonne found herself profoundly unsatisfied by the mobilization model of protest, which converged multitudes always against and never for something. In response, she cofounded NYC Summer, a youth of color organizing school, to create a different model for dissent.
Yvonne is still searching for that perfect blend of militant, transformational politics and praxis, with the organic leadership of those most impacted, like peanut butter and dark chocolate (an ice cream flavor Yvonne actually tolerates). Send any leads her way. Meanwhile, take a look-see at her writing, check out when she talks, and take delight in the shiny baubles she finds to share, like memes or random musings.

Prudence "Prue" Draper
Search the Library catalog for titles by Prudence "Prue" Draper.
Prue Draper is Cotati's long-time historian. She and her late husband, Lloyd, who owned The Cotatian weekly newspaper from 1951 to 1965, collected Cotati historic documents, artifacts, and memorabilia for over 50 years, hoping that some day the city would have an appropriate place to store and display them, and make them available to the public. As various organizations in town disbanded, they entrusted their records and artifacts to the Drapers with the understanding that they would be appropriately preserved. They established the Cotati Historical Society in 2007, and helped create the Cotati Museum in 2009.

David Carpenter was ejected from the Atlanta Braves' 10-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Thursday after hitting Corey Dickerson with a pitch.
The incident occurred just one pitch after Dickerson caught Gerald Laird under the mask with a long follow through, resulting in Laird's early exit. Carpenter looked surprised to have been tossed and maintained his innocence in the situation.
"If you look at his at-bats the whole series, the ball has been out over the plate and he's hammered them pretty good," Carpenter said on braves.com. "So we were going to try to pound him in there. He took a decent hack at the one fastball I threw in there. It cut in on him a little bit. I threw a slider, he fouled it off. I just tried to run another fastball in. It ended up cutting on me and caught him."
Rockies manager Walt Weiss was also tossed, reportedly yelling at the Braves that the Rockies "owe you two," supposedly also figuring in Julio Teheran beaning Josh Rutledge in the head Wednesday.Read more... Join the Conversation...

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - It appears about 20 employees will take a voluntary retirement plan offered to Dougherty School employees.
Right now, those employees cost the system about $1.1 Million a year in salaries and benefits.
While the numbers may change, the plan is likely to save the school system about two-hundred thousand dollars a year.
"These are fluid, and again the idea of the scheme has been approved by the finance committee and we'll put it to the board for final approval next Wednesday," said DCSS Finance Director Robert Lloyd.
Not all of the vacant positions will be filled, and some will be replaced at a lower salary than those retiring. They range from teachers to paraprofessionals, cafeteria workers, and custodians.

After doing a mock draft for the entire NFL first round, I've decided to do a mock draft for all six of the Jets' picks. The Jets currently don't have any major needs this upcoming season, but where they could use help is a third wide receiver, another pass-rusher alongside Shaun Ellis, a third running back, another safety to compete with Brodney Pool to play safety with Jim Leonhard, maybe a kicker, and possibly some offensive linemen for the future. Here are my predictions for the Jets' picks this draft:
Round 1, Pick 29 (29) - DL Jared Odrick, Penn State
Initially, I thought one of the Jets' biggest needs was another receiving threat, but the Jets are reportedly content with Braylon Edwards, Jerricho Cotchery, David Clowney, and Brad Smith. Plus, with up-and-coming stud Dustin Keller, the Jets need at receiver isn't an immediate one. A pass-rusher seems to be the most apparent need.
Odrick is a big and powerful pass-rusher who is 6' 5" and weighs in at 304 lbs. He has shown the ability to collapse the pocket with his pure strength. However, he has yet to show he can shed blockers easily and his speed is average for an end. But again, he is very powerful and can explode past lineman using his size and strength. Additionally, he is said to have a great work ethic and effort. Odrick was asked what teams would get from him, if they chose to draft him. "You're gonna get a hard worker out of me. Somebody who is going to fight for a starting spot and earn respect. That's what you're going to get when you're dealing with Jared Odrick." This is an attitude I'm sure Rex Ryan will love and maybe he decides on picking him, assuming he's still there at 29.
Round 2, Pick 29 (61) - WR Damian Williams, USC
Former USC Trojan and Mark Sanchez target Damian Williams will very likely be a second day draft pick. Williams led the Trojans in receptions the past two seasons. His style of play fits perfectly with Brian Schottenheimer's schemes; when he played at USC, he was used in many screen plays because of his speed and solid hands. He stands at 6' 1", a good side for a receiver, and his speed at that height increases his value. His athleticism is great and if he drops, the Jets shouldn't have to think twice about selecting him. He's a familiar target to Sanchez and is very effective as both a screen receiver and a slot receiver. He'd certainly be an upgrade from Clowney. Personally, I think the Jets should do what they need to, in order to draft him.
Round 3, No Pick
Round 4, Pick 26 (124) - FS Kam Chancellor, Virginia Tech
The Jets will be looking for a free safety to compete with Brodney Pool, who is injury-prone, and Eric Smith, who is a very good special-teamer and nickel-package safety. Kam Chancellor has great size (6' 3" and 231 lbs) and strength (22 bench reps). The Hokie has been productive while remaining healthy throughout his collegiate career. He grew up watching and trying to emulate former Redskins' safety Sean Taylor. When asked about his ability and what Taylor meant to him, he responded, "[He was a] big safety, the prototype guy for the position. I'm a big safety, too, and I've just always wanted to be just like him. I don't necessarily say I can be Sean Taylor before it's over, but I think I can be just as good." I like his attitude and Coach Ryan might think so as well. He also has been deemed a box safety because he is great at tackling and getting to the running back. He plays extremely hard and gives it everything out on the gridiron.
Round 5, Pick 24 (155) - OT Kyle Calloway, Iowa
There is a saying that all Iowa linemen are NFL ready. I take no exception to tackle Kyle Calloway. Calloway is a big big man at 6' 6" 323 lbs who has played left guard, left tackle, and right tackle for the Hawkeyes. And while his position kept changing, he remained consistent and has been considered a solid starter for years to come. As a matter of fact, he has drawn comparison to Cowboys' tackle Marc Colombo; he stays low and steady when pass blocking and physical while thrusting his hands at defenders when run blocking. He has all the tools to be a starter at the pro level, and in case Jet fans have forgotten, he helped block for Shonn Greene when he ran for 1,850 yards on 307 attempts (6.0 yards per carry) and 20 TDs. He would be in position to replace Damien Woody when the time comes in a few years.
Round 6, Pick 29 (198) - RB Conte Cuttino, Stony Brook
The Jets have already expressed their interest in Conte Cuttino. The Jets believe he could be a possible replacement for Leon Washington, especially since Leon apparently wants out. He has explosive speed and if you checked out the link above, you can see what a freak of an athlete this kid is. Cuttino broke the Stony Brook record for career rushing yards with 3,607 yards. In addition to his break-away speed, he can catch out of the backfield. Over his last 2 years at Stony Brook, he totaled 22 receptions for 205 yards and a touchdown. He has the athleticism to be a great change-of-pace back for the Jets behind Shonn Greene and LaDainian Tomlinson.
Round 7, Pick 29 (236) - K Leigh Tiffin, Alabama
Personally, I don't know how comfortable I feel with Nick Folk as our kicker; just last season with Dallas, he was released due to only kicking 64.3% (18/28) of footballs through the uprights. Leigh Tiffin reminds me a little of ex-Jet Jay Feely. Tiffin showed he could kick under pressure and did so in the National Championship game. In his first ever game as a freshman, he kicked the game-winning overtime field goal to give 'Bama the 13-10 win over Vanderbilt. Another little known fact: Tiffin is Alabama's all-time leading scorer with 350 points. Also, last year he led the Crimson Tide with 132 points (Mark Ingram came in 2nd with 120). Also, he has shown he can be tough and can actually tackle in the open field. He works hard and is an accurate kicker (87.9% in 2009). He has little downside and would fall to the late rounds, but just because he is a kicker. Plus, he'd be a much younger option than Neil Rackers or Matt Stover.
There are my predictions for the Jets come April 22nd. As always, feel free to express your own opinion and make your own suggestions and predictions. In my opinion, I would like to see the Jets draft along these lines.

Sept. 21, 2005
Albany - Hurricane Rita is heading toward Texas as a powerful category four storm. In its path are oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. That could spark another rush on gasoline stations.
Bill Dorough says, "If that hurricane does that damage out in Texas that we're afraid it might do, we could see three bucks or more again."
After Katrina tore through the Gulf of Mexico, oil rigs were shut down and employees evacuated for safety. With Hurricane Rita following a similar path, it could happen again. Dorough says, "We could be in for another rough patch."
While we're still struggling to pay $2.59 for a gallon of gasoline, we may be in the path of another increase. The Gulf Coast accounts for about a third of domestic crude oil production.
Texas, where it appears Rita's headed, accounts for 23% of refining capacity. If those refineries are damaged or destroyed the outlook won't be good.
When asked if the higher prices would stop Marco Mason from driving he said, "Yeah, basically. I might as well get a bicyle or electric scooter to go back and forth to work."
In addition to unleaded gasoline, diesel is expected to climb, too. Looking ahead to winter, it's likley we'll pay more for natural gas as well.
Suspect a gas station of gouging? Report them to the Governor's office of Consumer Affairs.

Grossman has agreed to a one-year deal to return to the Washington Redskins.||||||| Grossman's return gives the Redskins the same trio of quarterbacks as last season, and his veteran presence is an extra piece of insurance in case Robert Griffin III doesn't recover from a serious knee injury by Week 1 in September.
Grossman is active Sunday against Dallas.||||||| The third-stringer is behind backup Kirk Cousins and starter Robert Griffin III on the depth chart. Griffin is wearing a brace on his sprained right knee.

But Grossman said he wants to remain a part of the team and play a part in its turnaround after another last-place season. Grossman won the starting job out of training camp last year, was benched for John Beck after five games, then later regained the No. 1 spot.
Grossman completed 26 of 35 passes for 314 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-17 win over Seattle. He hit Anthony Armstrong on a 50-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to give Washington the lead and stun the Seahawks.||||||| The touchdown came one play after Grossman was called for intentional grounding while getting driven to the turf. Grossman stepped up in the pocket to avoid the pass rush, then unloaded his toss for Armstrong. It was Armstrong's first catch since Week 7 at Carolina, his sixth of the season and his only one on Sunday.

Frequently Asked Questions
What AllergensAre Present In Your Chocolate?
Our products are produced on shared equipment that processes products containing milk, peanuts and other tree nuts. Our quality department purges and thoroughly cleans equipment between flavors containing these allergens to reduce the risk of cross contamination; however, there is the possibility of trace amounts of allergens being present due to shared equipment.
Explain "Cocoa Content".
The cocoa content of each Endangered Species Chocolate product is stated on the wrapper. Cocoa content refers to the amount of the chocolate product that is made of the three cacao components – chocolate liquor, cocoa butter and cocoa powder. The percentage of cocoa solids present in the chocolate is a great indicator of a chocolate's quality and flavor.
Chocolates with high cocoa contents possess a richer, more intense flavor. Also, antioxidant health benefits can be found in high cocoa content chocolate. Endangered Species milk chocolates have 43-48% cocoa contents. Endangered Species dark chocolates have 70-88% cocoa contents.
Is This Chocolate Dutch Processed (Also Known As "Alkali Added" Or "European Style"?
No, Endangered Species Chocolate's products are not processed using the Dutch Alkaline Process (a method of treating chocolate with alkali to neutralize cocoa's naturally bitter taste). They rely on the quality of the cocoa bean to achieve a consistent and harmonious flavor profile. It is harder and more expensive to go this route, but they believe it results in a more premium product and adheres to their natural stance. Additionally, Dutch cocoa provides less antioxidants than natural cocoa because the alkali process destroys some of the flavanols (the powerful antioxidants found in chocolate).
What Is Ethical Trade? Is That Similar To Fair Trade?
Endangered Species cocoa is 100% ethically traded. This means they buy their cocoa from small properties that adhere to criteria that ensure farmers humane working conditions and a fair price for their crop. Sustainable agricultural practices are also employed to support and sustain the habitats and communities of these cacao farming regions. You can learn more about how their ethical trade chocolate supports farmers and farmland in the Ethical Trade section of the Endangered Species website. http://chocolatebar.com/pages.php?pageid=53
How Do I know If My Chocolate Is Within Its Expiration Date?
Each Endangered Species Chocolate product is stamped with an ENJOY BY expiration date.
Are Endangered Species Chocolates Gluten-Free?
Endangered Species Chocolate products are CERTIFIED GLUTEN-FREE™ by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization. This certification allows us to feel 100% confident in recommending products to customers with Celiac Disease. Look for the "Certified Gluten-Free" symbol on each label. Seasonal and specialty items may not carry this certification; please consult our Gluten-Free certificate for a listing of all products that hold this certification.
Is Endangered Species Chocolate Non-GMO?
All of our dark chocolate products are Non-GMO Project Verified. Currently the Non-GMO Project is unable to provide us with non-gmo verified options for dairy ingredients. Once they secure a viable dairy source, we will move forward to gain non-gmo verification for our milk chocolate products.
What Is The Best Way To Store Chocolate?
Keep your chocolate in a cool, dry place (optimum conditions being 65°F, 50% humidity). Store away from strong odors such as coffees and perfumes to protect your chocolate's flavor. Check the 'Enjoy By' date, which is stamped on each product to help you ensure freshness.
