The Distribution of Talent and the Pattern and Consequences of International Trade
AbstractIn an economy with imperfect labor contracts, differences in the distribution of talent can be an independent source of comparative advantage. I study a world economy with two activities, one in which an individual's contribution to production can be measured accurately and another in which workers engage in joint production. When individuals have private information about their own talents, the most able workers self-select into the occupation in which their reward best reflects their own performance. I describe an equilibrium in which the country with a more heterogeneous labor force exports the good that is produced by the most talented individuals. In this country, trade exacerbates the "polarization" of labor and often worsens the distribution of income.

Alumni Newsletter 2012-2013
UPDATES: From the Class of '43 to the Class of '12
Class of 1943:
Dick Ray, ScM writes: After receiving my degree in 1943 I joined the U. S. Geological Survey spending that summer mapping areas of old copper/iron deposits in southeastern Alaska. Before the next field season rolled around I was considered too young and healthy not to be in the military service, so I volunteered for the U. S. Navy just before the Army draft could catch up with me. I spent my ocean time on Destroyer Escort 195 (USS Thornhill) both in the Atlantic and Pacific. On my release from the Service (Lt. jg) I immediately rejoined the U. S. Geological Survey working the summer field seasons in various parts of Alaska. I had always wanted to join the academic world but needed further academic credentials to do that. So I reentered the student world at The Johns Hopkins University, receiving my Ph.D. in 1950. The USGS allowed me to use a three-season study of gold mines and surrounding areas in southern Alaska for my dissertation. Because I was enjoying my USGS work I chose not to test the academic waters for employment. However, as with many organizations there often come management changes and by 1960 my work at the USGS was no longer as enjoyable as it had been earlier. So at this point in my career I moved to the National Science Foundation where I was Program Director for Geology for 15 years. I got to know the academic world and the academic world got to know me because I had government funds to disperse for geologic research! My government work terminated in 1975 when I chose to take early retirement. I was now ready for the academic world. I thought I had arrived at the point where I always wanted to be – either in a teaching capacity or management role. On reflection, however, I decided that a move to the educational world after 40 years in the Washington, DC area would be a monumental one for my family. I felt such a move would not only be disruptive to their lives but very inconsiderate and unfair to them. So I opted to continue my career as a staff officer for Board on Mineral and Energy Resources at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington DC. I spent seven years in part-time employment at the Academy at roughly 2/3 time until 1982. After my "second retirement" I took up landscape painting as a hobby and also began playing a lot of tournament bridge. My painting activities essentially ended when my wife became ill. I am still playing a lot of bridge but in general my life is rather humdrum. I go to bed late, watch old movies on TV, get up late, eat a lot of frozen dinners and do a lot of thumb twiddling. My existence is pretty much humdrum but at nearly 93 I am not complaining. If there are still any other old fossils of the early 1940's still out there I'd be pleased to hear from them.
Class of 1952:
Bill Outerbridge, AB writes: December 1, 2011; I was given an award for service to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, specifically for geologic maps done between 1960 and 1978 and landslide studies done between 1978 and 1981. It appears landslides I forecast actually happened. June 1, 2012; Outerbridge, W.F., 2012, Age Relationships Based on Single Crystal Zircon U/Pb Ages, Pennsylvanian, Central Appalachian Basin, Eastern Kentucky, USA: Southeastern Geology, v. 49, n. 1, p. 1-11. Several volcanic ash beds occur in the coal measures of eastern Kentucky. Agesdetermined from some of these ash beds provide a basis for revising our concepts of the timing and development of the Appalachian coal basin.
Class of 1953:
Larry Lundgren, AB writes: I begin as I did last year, since I am hoping for at least one response to a question up front: Do you, dear geologist, know what Ground Source Geothermal (GSG) is? I ask because it is through GSG that geology is still part of my everyday life. So I begin by showing you how I am reminded every day of my life by looking at my neighbor's yard of one of GSGs benefits –you can neither see nor hear it. For comparison I give you a wind turbine I visit when I am out running. I like that too but many of you do not.
GSG is a basic renewable energy technology here but you will never read about it in the NYTimes and I see no Brown geo course where it might be mentioned. FYI my neighbor's GSG has been heating his home for 8 years without interruption just as my renewable energy system (distance heating fed by hot water heated by burning municipal waste). No landfills, no ground-water contamination. So why do you dear reader, all one of you, love the oil or natural gas burner so much?
My message is then, that if you are a one-time geology major now retired you can contribute on any one of wide variety of fronts and, if you do so, your life will become perhaps even better than it was before.
I have my own Enkla firman (Simple Company), Right English, in which the work consists of translating medical research manuscripts from Swedish to English and reviewing manuscripts already written in English. True this opportunity is only available to you if you are fluent in a language other than English and that language is one in which scientific manuscripts are written. Doing this is very stimulating and rewarding psychologically. Perhaps I should explain that the path to this was that I left hard rock to become an Environmental geologist. That led to epidemiology (think Chernobyl, radon, ground-water contamination, acid rain effects) and then to becoming Adjunct Professor of Environmental Medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. Now the manuscripts flow in. Always exciting.
I am still playing trumpet in Angsars-Missionskyrkans blåsorkester (Ansgars church – Mission church wind orchestra) as my NYT comment ikon will show you in the form of my Bach Stradivarius trumpet if you read Times comments on, for example renewable energy. We play a lot of American music in that orchestra even the Coffee Song if you are old enough to know what that is.
Central to my life and something I recommend to every retiree is working with refugees at the Red Cross, for me here in Linköping. Two to four days a week, I spend several hours to help refugees from everywhere but nowadays mostly Somali born (see my blog), to learn Swedish or to help them with their homework. The best is actually to sit with 5 or 6, each from a different country and just talk. I have described that experience in a New York Times comment on Michael Chabon's story about small utopias (Times Magazine 30 September) since the Red Cross coffee room and meeting place is a "small utopia".
I close by showing you one of the great things in my life which one might describe as the result of intercontinental marriage between me and then Professor Ann Frodi, born in Sweden of an American mother and Swedish father. Ann was Professor at Rochester when I met her but we are all in Sweden now where I commute back and forth via Bus4You between Linköping and Göteborg.
I do not do birthdays but my 80th was an exception so Ann did a dinner for me on her island with our almost universally musical friends and then to top that off our daughter Annika did a performance for me (us) using her newly acquired skills as a Tissue performer. Ankan (Ducky as she is often called) has university degrees from the University of Vermont and University of Gothenburg (3 degrees) and thanks to living in two countries now speaks 5 languages, one more than her mother and 3 more than me. That was not enough so she has added what you see below.
On my 80th birthday I walked into the climbing gym in Göteborg, and heard first Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, an auspicious beginning. Next was the opening of Olive's 1996 You're Not Alone (see my blog) and there was Annika high in the sky performing for me and Ann. I show you a pic from that performance and another to show the latest. That is Ann and me under Annika at the end of that performance, concluded by her playing Happy Birthday on her flute high above us, but right-side-up. And the latest is upside down hanging from the legs of her Brazilian teacher, Jailton.Never a dull moment.
Annika and I also run in as many races as Team T and H.
Blog at Only-NeverInSweden.blogspot.com where you can tell me if you know GSG and even my very basic www.seekonk.se (only in Explorer) to see the immigrants who came to Massachusetts and Rhode Island and account for me writing this from Sweden.

Class of 1956:
Peter Rona, AB continues as professor of marine geology and geophysics at Rutgers University. He leads the COVIS (Cabled Observatory Vent Imaging Sonar) project with NSF support which acoustically monitors flow and flux of hydrothermal venting in a hydrothermal field on the Juan de Fuca Ridge with an innovative sonar connected to the NEPTUNE Canada Cabled Observatory, the first such observatory on an ocean ridge. He works collaboratively with NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center on exploration of the giant Hudson Submarine Canyon to determine the role of conditions in the canyon in supporting regional fisheries. He serves as a consultant to the International Seabed Authority on mineralization on ocean ridges as deep ocean mining for polymetallic sulfides approaches.
Class of 1962:
Randolph Steinen, AB '62, PhD '73 lives in Rhode Island and sends this update: I have been volunteering at the Connecticut Geological Survey for the past 6 years. Now I will try to volunteer at the RI Geological Survey. Tune in later for the results.
Class of 1965:
Charlie Shabica, AB writes: Although retired from teaching Earth Science and Coastal Engineering, I'm still working on sustainable shore protection systems. Most of our projects are in the Great Lakes; close to home. We're also working on a new "Green" marina located on the Gulf shore of southern Belize. It's nice to get out of Chicago especially in the winter.
photo of two "Pocket Beaches" we just completed on the Evanston Illinois shore of Lake Michigan. It's a location just south of Northwestern University that has been sand-starved (no beaches) for decades. The other is the layout for the marina in Belize that's designed to improve coastal water quality.
Class of 1966:
David Schwartzman, MS, PhD '71, writes:
This is my first news as an alum, better late than never! I retired as of last June after 39 years on the faculty, now Professor Emeritus, Howard University.
I am still active in research, with recent focus on climate and energy issues, as well as continuing interest in the long term carbon cycle, coevolution of life and climate as well as origin of life (see you at Goldschmidt 2013). My paperback update of Life, Temperature, and the Earth (Columbia University Press) appeared 10 years ago, still worth reading.
I have several recent publications in Capitalism Nature Socialism.
My website with my older son Peter is www.solarUtopia.org.
I am active in Green Party and its local affiliate, the DC Statehood Green Party.
My campaign website from last November and previous races is: www.davidschwartzman.com
My older son Peter Schwartzman is director of Environmental Studies at Knox College, Galesburg Illinois where he is an Alderman, leading his community in urban farming and renewable energy.
My younger son Sam Junge is a leader of Portland Solidarity (Oregon) where he works in a homeless shelter for youth.
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com
My favorite quotation: "Be as radical as reality itself"
Class of 1969:
Davis A. Young, PhD has kept busy since retirement in 2004 from Calvin College where he taught for the final 26 years of his 36 year college career. In 2009, he was given the Mary C Rabbitt History of Geology Award by the Geological Society of America Davis recently wrapped up a five-part series on The Origin of the American Quantitative Igneous Rock Classification that was published in Earth Sciences History. The classification, best known today for the CIPW norm calculation, was published in 1902 and was the brainchild of Joseph P. Iddings, Louis V. Pirsson, C. Whitman Cross, and Henry S. Washington, four of America's greatest petrologists in the pre-Bowen era. All four were members of the National Academy of Sciences. Since retirement he has published three books, the most recent of which is Good News for Science: Why Scientific Minds Need God, a challenge to science professionals, teachers, and students to make a serious investigation of Christianity. Davis and his wife have been living in Tucson, Arizona, since retirement.
Class of 1972:
Greg Mountain, AB writes: I've been rather quiet in my Alumni connections back to Brown, though I've worked on occasion with some of the faculty, Warren Prell in particular, and I've enjoyed the many newletters etc. that have been sent my way. Your latest request for info brought to mind that some might find interesting a 5-minvideomade about an offshore drilling expedition for which I was CoChief Sci back in 2009. As some who follow this line of work will know, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program for years circled around the challenge of drilling for climate history, etc. on continental shelves, and finally took the plunge offshore New Jersey, with great success. Our scientific results are due to come out in the online journal Geosphere over the next several months.
On an entirely separate issue -- I'm taking over as head of the alumni board for my graduate earthscience school (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia Univ.) and I'm curious: does the Geology Dept have any type of alumni organization (distinct from the general and very active Brown Alumni Assoc) ? If so, how is it structured, who are the alums most involved, and is there an actual 'alumni board' with a 'mission statement' type of document that outlines what the board aims to do? One of my first actions as board president here is to invigorate our members and give them a set of 'marching orders' so they know what is expected of them.
Gary Robbins, ScM: On October 12, 2012, Dr. Gary Robbins, Professor of Geology, Dept. of Natural Resources and the Environment, received the Licensed Site Professionals Association (LSPA) of Massachusetts 2012 Contribution to Practice Award at their annual meeting. The LSPA is a non-profit organization of environmental professionals and others (attorneys, laboratory personnel, contractors, etc.) involved in the management of hazardous waste sites, with nearly 1000 members. Dr. Robbins is well known for his research work at the University of Connecticut related to improving site characterization methods at sites that have ground water contamination. Dr. Robbins received the award "in recognition of outstanding contributions and advancing the profession" through helping to train LSPA members in state-of-the-art techniques related to environmental assessment. In addition to developing mortar and brick courses, especially hands-on field courses, he pioneered on-line training courses in Massachusetts and Connecticut using simulations to provide real world training in virtual space.
Cole Worthy, President of the Massachusetts Licensed Site Professionals Association presents Dr. Gary Robbins with the Association's 2012 Contribution to the Practice Award.
Class of 1975:
Suzanne Mahlburg Kay, PhD: Suzanne is the President of the Geological Society of America effective June 1, 2013.
Ross Stein, ScB writes: Brown Geo junior Jeremy Shar spent the summer working with USGS Geophysicist Ross Stein '75 on an earthquake physics demonstration apparatus, QuakeCaster. Jeremy turned the one-dimensional spring-and-rider system into a two-dimensional earthquake interaction apparatus that they have dubbed, Fishnet Stocking Stress. That's because the sliders are magnetically attached to a fishnet stocking stretched in a frame that is pulled by a casting reel over a high-friction surface. The sliders undergo stick-slip and interact as a function of their mass and proximity in ways that are both predictable and chaotic. Ross has since used Fishnet Stocking Stress in talks at UCSC, Univ. WA, and the USGS. Ross hopes to bring Jeremy back next summer to perform experiments and create build-and-buy instructions, and submit them to publication. Ross thanks Jan Tullis for sending him yet another great Brown Geo student.
I don't really have much of an interesting story, but to tell you all of the interesting places that a geology degree can take you, I am not selling business jets for Cessna aircraft. I lead a team of salespeople responsible for jet sales in New England and the Great Lake state.
Class of 1976:
Joel Scheraga, AB: Dr. Joel Scheraga is the Senior Advisor for Climate Adaptation in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Office ofPolicy in the Office of the Administrator. Heis leading EPA's efforts to develop and implement a Climate Change AdaptationPlan to ensure it can continue to protect human health and the environment evenas the climate changes. He also represents EPA on the federal InteragencyClimate Change Adaptation Task Force. The Task Force wasestablished by Executive Order in October 2009 and charged withdeveloping recommendations for President Obama on how the nation might adapt to climate change impacts.
The EPA released its draft Climate Change Adaptation Plan on February 7, 2013. The plan was produced by the Cross-EPA Work Group on Climate Change Adaptation, chaired Joel. As stated in the EPA "Policy Statement on Climate Change Adaptation," signed by Administrator Lisa P. Jackson in June 2011, climate change can pose significant challenges to the EPA's ability to fulfill its mission. The EPA must therefore adapt to climate change if it is to continue fulfilling its statutory, regulatory, and programmatic requirements. The unprecedented EPA Climate Change Adaptation Plan provides a roadmap (including Agency-wide priority actions) for how the Agency will anticipate and plan for future changes in climate and incorporate considerations of climate change into its programs, policies, rules and operations to ensure they are effective under future climatic conditions.
Class of 1979:
Jim Conca, ScB writes: Forbes asked me to do a weekly blog in May on energy and nuclear. I'd love to hear what everyone thinks of it. It's a lot harder than I thought and definitely is making me feel old! http://blogs.forbes.com/jamesconca/
Adam Schultz, ScB: Adam Schultz. NSF (EarthScope and Marine Geology & Geophysics) released funding for our MOCHA project. This stands for Magnetotelluric Observations of Cascadia using a Huge Array. This is the most ambitious onshore-offshore magnetotelluric (electromagnetic) imaging experiment yet undertaken, and has OSU's National Geoelectromagnetic Facility as the lead (Adam Schultz is PI of the NGF), with collaborators from the University of Oregon, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the USGS. We will instrument most of western Oregon and part of SW Washington and extend the arrays offshore to image the electrical structure of the crust and upper mantle in high resolution, with a specific target of detecting the distribution of fluids rising from the subducting Juan de Fuca plate. These fluids may play a key role in moderating Episodic Tremor and Slip, a slow earthquake type phenomenon that may itself be important in redistributing stress within this megathrust seismic hazard area.
We also recently were awarded NSF funding (GeoPRISMS and EarthScope) for a large scale, high resolution magnetotelluric study of the southern Washington Cascades volcanic arc including Mt St Helens, Mt Adams and Mt Rainier. I am PI of the magnetotelluric study, with collaborators from the USGS, and seismic collaborators from University of Washington, LDEO and Rice University. We will image the details of the volcanic connections between the upper mantle and the surface volcanic expressions, and investigate the possibility suggested by earlier studies that there is a large-scale mid-crustal magma accumulation in this area.
Both MOCHA and the SW Washington Cascades field work will take place during 2013-2014.
The National Geoelectromagnetic Facility has recently completed two marine electromagnetic surveys offshore Reedsport and Newport Oregon in support of wave energy development. Our work at Reedsport in August was a requirement for Ocean Power Technology to gain their permit to install commercial wave energy converters at Reedsport, which is the first commercial wave energy electric generating facility in the US. The permit was granted immediately following our survey. The Newport work was completed last week, and was carried out to detect electromagnetic fields emitted from the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center's wave energy electric grid simulator testbed, which was operating with a scale size commercial wave energy converter attached. Our work at these sites was carried out in collaboration with a colleague from SAIC. Our lab is currently completing a new generation combined ocean bottom electromagnetic field/seismic system with a trawl resistant housing and acoustic telemetry. This will be used for subsequent marine investigations of this sort.
The National Geoelectromagnetic Facility is also carrying out a large scale multidisciplinary investigation at Newberry volcano under Department of Energy support. We are collaborating with Zonge International Inc (Tucson) and the National Energy Technology Lab of the Department of Energy to image the migration of fluids deep beneath the flanks of Newberry caldera as the volcano undergoes a geothermal stimulation (pressurized well injection) by a geothermal development company. Our work involves 3D/4D magnetotelluric and controlled source electromagnetic investigations, ground based and satellite interferometric radar observations of dynamic ground surface deformations, absolute and relative gravity measurements, precision GPS monitoring and geochemical investigations during a "hydroshearing" episode, and during a controlled system depressurization. The goal is to develop technologies to allow geothermal operators to optimize the longevity and energy extraction from an enhanced geothermal system. The methods we are developing will be transferrable to other geothermal systems, and also to shale oil/gas hydrofracturing areas.
We have recently been awarded NSF funding to analyze EarthScope magnetotelluric data from the North American mid-continent region, in the vicininty of the mid-continent rift, and we have just received an additional year of funds to operate the EarthScope magnetotelluric program through the end of FY2013, a continuation of several million dollars in long-running NSF investment in OSU's EarthScope MT project. We are also part of the IRIS 5-year renewal proposal being considered by NSF for continuation of EarthScope operations through 2018. Thus far we have completed a regular grid of magnetotelluric stations, with 70 km spacing, spanning the NW quadrant of the US and another large footprint covering the north central US. Our eventual goal is complete a regular grid of MT stations spanning the entire continental US and Alaska.
In my spare time, I am carrying out a magnetotelluric survey in the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali) of Saudi Arabia under Saudi support. We are assisting King Saud University's efforts to locate groundwater resources in the region north of the Yemen and Oman borders. We've been working to develop special methods to obtain high quality electromagnetic data in the heart of the largest sand desert in the world. The arid conditions there make conventional methods of measuring electric fields using grounded electrolytic dipoles ineffective, so we are implementing methods of capacitively coupling to the desert sands.
The National Geoelectromagnetic Facility at OSU (NGF.oregonstate.edu), which was established using 2009 ARRA funding from NSF, currently operates 46 portable long-period magnetotelluric instruments and 7 permanently installed MT observatories. The NGF is completing acquisition of 26 additional next generation wideband/ultra-wideband electromagnetic instruments, in collaboraiton with Zonge International, and it serves as the US national academic instrument pool for electromagnetic geophysics. The lab also currently has two seafloor electromagnetic receiver systems. The NGF has two full time technical support staff and a team of graduate and undergraduate students including two through OSU's Increasing Diversity in the EarthSciences, and summer REU students from Loyola University and UCSD. We'd welcome inquiries from talented undergraduates at Brown who may be interested in an REU experience in the great Northwest, or from potential grad students and postdocs.
Class of 1980:
James Whitford-Stark, PhD writes: I fell and smashed my hip so got a titanium implant. It severely restricted my ability to do field work, so I retired early. Now having fun going places on vacation this year rather than work. So far, Dominican Republic and Cyprus. Bermuda and Texas coming up.
Class of 1981:
William Osborn, ScB writes: I am now representing the State of Texas in cases where its oil and gas reserves beneath state riverbeds are being drained by offsetting horizontal wells. We are having an oil boom here, with about 200 new horizontal well drilling permits being approved every week. The best advice I had at Brown was from Jan Tullis long ago, saying that if I was going to get a geology degree I should not mess around, but should go for the Sc. B., which I did. I was interested in the subject because of all the Cretaceous era fossils at our ranch, and one of her grad students kindly sawed and polished one for me, and I was hooked.
Our daughter graduated from Yale in May, but youngest son is now applying to colleges and I am trying to get him to apply to Brown. They accepted our daughter but she liked the residential college system at Yale so chose it instead, got a degree in Latin American studies and is now in Brazil working on preparation for 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

I am project manager on the development of the four science cameras on the Curiosity rover. FOUR MALIN SPACE SCIENCE SYSTEMS (MSSS) CAMERAS ON THE CURIOSITY ROVER RETURN SPECTACULAR PICTURES FROM MARS
When the Curiosity rover of the Mars Science Laboratory Project (MSL) landed on Mars on 5 August 2012, on board were four cameras developed by Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS): the 34 mm and100 mm Mast Cameras (Mastcam), the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), and the Mars Descent Imager (MARDI).
The Mastcams were designed to be the science imaging "workhorse" for the MSL rover. The cameras, capable of taking full color images analogous to those taken by consumer digital cameras, aremounted on the rover's remote sensing mast, where they can be panned and tilted to provide image coverage around the rover, both near the rover and out to the horizon. The Mastcams are alsocapable of acquiring 720p high definition video at a rate of about 7 frames per second, as well as stereo (3D) images of the terrain explored by the MSL rover. The 34 mm Mastcam has shot apanorama of the Gale Crater landing site shortly after landing (Figure 1), as well as an image of another MSSS-built camera on the end of Curiosity's robotic arm (Figure 2). The Mastcam 100 mmcamera is a telephoto system, designed to capture detailed views from up to 10 miles away. Figure 3 is a Mastcam 100 mm image of the flanks of Mt. Shape, showing the layered structure thatCuriosity will be investigating in the coming year.

(Speedy, for a geologist.) Professionally, Michael and his team finished installing an IRIS PASSCAL seismic array in Madagascar this past August, and he has been busy supervising the writing of the Earth and Space Science standards for the national K-12 Next Generation Science Standards."Michael Wysession (Brown '84) and Margaret Farnon (Brown '84) were married on the coast of Delaware in September in a small family ceremony, not far from where they went camping as freshmen (32 years ago!). Michael (seismology professor at Washington University in St. Louis) now has his complete array of seismometers installed in Madagascar. Michael is also a lead author of the national K-12 Next Generation Science Standards, in charge of Earth and space science. The new standards, which are in the process of being adopted by most states in the country, will recommend a full year of Earth and space science in both middle school and high school, and that in both cases it be taught following the bulk of physical and life sciences."

CosmoQuest involves the general public in on-going science research through crowd-sourcing of labor-intensive, yet easily mastered tasks. The Moon Mappers component asks citizen scientists to identify and measure impact craters on the Moon using very high resolution images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Narrow Angle Camera. The data gathered by Moon Mappers volunteers is being used by Irene and co-lead Stuart Robbins to address fundamental issues in lunar science, such as whether saturation of craters occurs at the same rate on all lunar surfaces, how processes such as impact-induced seismic shaking affect the crater population, and the implications these have for modelling the ages of lunar surfaces. We are also studying the validity of citizen-science data by comparing it with statistics from crater counting experts. We welcome anyone who's interested to come count lunar craters with us.

eBay close to Skype sale
eBay is close to getting shot of Skype - the VoIP phone service it paid $2.6bn for in 2005. The deal didn't make sense at the time, and eBay has never managed to integrate the technology into its core auction business. Meg Whitman's claim that the combination of the online tat bazaar and PayPal and Skype would "create an …
woah !
Easy enough for ebay to make up the shortfall. Just ensure the buyer has to pay vial Paypal - the fees should cover a fair bit of it..
Good luck trying to sell it
With all the other VOIP technologies around today Skype has been comprehensively overtaken not only in technology itself but also in overall price.
Unfortunately like most pioneers Skype is probably destined for a long slow decline into oblivion so why anyone would want to pay good money for it is a mystery to me. Unless they plan to spend even more to relaunch but it could be a case of too little too late.
Betting a gov agency buys it?
It would make snooping easier.
could always flog the thing on eBay...
If all else fails... My initial bid is $1000 btw, but I refuse to pay through PayPal.
Buy it now
One slightly used VOIP outfit. Bought as seen
Buy it now price $1,
P & P $500 million
no returns accepted
Good luck to the buyer

Speakers beware: Scammers are using a church event as the basis for stealing your money
Posted on April 16, 2013 10:24 am by Shel Holtz | Ethics
As a speaker, I process a lot of speaking invitations, so I was intrigued when I received one from a UK-based church that was hosting an event and wanted me to speak. Other organizations have brought me to international locations, so I responded to this one with questions. Bishop Allan Willson (who signed the email) responded with complete answers. I also asked a UK-based colleague to look into the church. He let me know it appeared to be a legitimate institution.
I got fairly far down the road with the engagement. Bishop Willson handed me off to Edward Smith, who identified himself as president of the event organizing committee. Read More »

There are a lot of names and options floating around out there for 25 spots. Most of the guys who make the cut will deserve to be there, but some likely won't, at least in the eyes of the RR faithful. And then, there will be some who should make it, but instead will start the year in AAA. Let's break it down by Make and Rightfully So, Benefits from Blind Management, and Daytoned. (I'm not actually very anti-Moore.)
Make and Rightfully So
1. Brayan Pena
2. Jason Kendall (overpaid, but the second-best cather makes the team)
3. Butler
4. Getz
5. Callaspo
6. DeJesus
7. Ankiel
8. Bloomquist (good to have a guy who can back up any position)
10. Banny
11. Meche
12. Hoch
13. Soria
14. Tejeda (whether as a starter or a reliever, he should make the team)
15. Davies (see above)
16. Cruz (one bad year isn't cause to cut in ST)
17. Farnsworth (mediocre and certainly overpaid, but won't be the worst player to make the team)
18. Osuna (Rule 5 makes it to start the year)
19. Lerew? (This is really the mandatory 1 LH pitcher in the bullpen. Don't know who it will be, but it will be someone unexciting.)
20. Rosa? (Need one more bullpen guy for 12-man pitching staff. Rosa seems to be an early frontrunner and would probably be a good choice.)
21. Fields (Royals lose him if he doesn't make the 25-man)
22. Pods (Need an OF. I don't really care between Pods and Maier, but it seems clear they'll go with Pods.)
Benefits from the Blind
23. Yuni
24. Guillen
Won't Make Club on Opening Day Due to Injury, but Will Quickly Return
25. Gordon
26. Aviles
Assuming I haven't missed anyone important, it looks like either Maier or Kila will have a chance to make the team for at least a few days without the Royals doing anything totally unexpected like cutting its losses with Guillen. Also, whoa--what did I do wrong? Assuming everyone's healthy, can the club really not carry Gordon and Aviles on the 25-man roster without cutting someone who's seemingly a lock to make the club? Osuna will have to really perform or he won't stick for long. There will probably be an extra roster spot of flexibility since we won't need the full 12-man pitching staff right away with everyone starting fresh and all the off-days they pepper into the start of the season, but this is going to be a tight squeeze for some pretty decent players. I'd like to see Dayton cut ties with Guillen ASAP and if Aviles shows he's healthy enough to play SS every day (which will take a while), it will be time to put Yuni through waivers and have him play in Omaha when he clears.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- It looks like the weather has put a damper on Ford's bottom line.The automaker is blaming the harsh weather for its 7-percent sales decline last month.
Nearly every Ford brand vehicle saw sales fall from last January. Even sales from the company's bestseller -- the F-series truck -- was flat.
Ford is not alone: General Motors, Toyota and Volkswagen are blaming the cold, snowy weather from keeping buyers out of showrooms -- but Chrysler, Nissan and Subaru were able to buck the trend and report that sales were up.

Circumcision is the surgical removal of part or all of the foreskin that covers the tip of the penis. The foreskin has a number of functions. It protects the glans from general wear and tear and from irritation when the baby is incontinent. It provides lubrication and it contains erogenous tissue, that is, it contributes to sexual arousal.
Male circumcisions are performed all over the world. There is currently a lot of debate about circumcision in the U.S. and whether it should be carried out routinely on baby boys.
Male circumcisions are carried out for a number of reasons; social, cultural, religious and more rarely, for medical reasons. Circumcision is common within the Jewish and Islamic faith communities. Worldwide circumcisions are carried out by people ranging from surgeons, religious leaders, to tribal healers.
Circumcision Statistics
In the U.S., the rate of circumcision is coming down according to the most recent statistical data on circumcision published in 1999. Circumcision used to be higher for white infants. Now, black and white rates are about the same according to data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey. Hispanics, in general, do not routinely have circumcisions carried out on their newborn children.
Because the reasons and circumstances vary, it is difficult to accurately estimate the total number of cases of circumcisions. The United States has one of the highest rates of male circumcision with over 60 percent of newborn males born in a hospital having one. This is down from the rate of 85 percent recorded in the 1970s. Over 1.25 million infants are circumcised annually; thats more than 3,300 babies each day.
International Statistics on Circumcision
Australia circumcises 15 percent of its male population, Canada 48 percent and the U.K. about 24 percent. Circumcision is uncommon in Asia, South America, Central America and most of Europe, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Norway, Denmark and Sweden, have very low circumcision rates
Medical Reasons for Circumcision
Medical opinion varies considerably on the issue of when and whether circumcision should be carried out. The American Academy of Pediatrics, in their most recent reaffirmation of their Circumcision Policy Statement 2006, states:
"Existing scientific evidence demonstrates potential medical benefits of newborn male circumcision; however, these data are not sufficient to recommend routine neonatal circumcision."
Medical circumcisions are also carried out on adults but tend to be done only if conditions such as balanitis or phimosis are not responding to other medical treatments.
Benefits of Circumcision
Male circumcision has often been carried out for reasons of hygiene. It is known that men who have had a circumcision seem to contract fewer urinary tract infections.
Circumcision does offer some defense against sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.
There is also evidence that circumcised men have a lower rate of penile cancer, a very rare form of cancer. Research is unclear about whether circumcision reduces the risk of cervical cancer in female sexual partners.

Ramsey Ad Promises to Cut State Departments by One-Third
(Updates earlier post)
By Erik Schelzig:
Republican state Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey in his latest political advertisement promises to cut seven of 22 state agencies if elected Tennessee governor.
The Blountville auctioneer's new ad launched Tuesday night also features a familiar line from the campaign trail about how he started his first surveying businesses.
"I came up the hard way -- started my business with just a pickup truck and prayer," Ramsey says in the ad. "Now, I'm the conservative candidate for governor."
Spokeswoman Rachel Taylor said Wednesday that Ramsey's proposal would include folding the Department of Children's Services into the Department of Human Services; Mental Health would become part of the state Health Department; and the Revenue and Financial Institutions departments would be placed under the Department of Finance and Administration.
The initial buy for the new ad is worth $128,000, about the same as his first ad, Taylor said.
Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen, who can't run again because of term limits, said Tennessee's experience in merging the responsibilities of five agencies into the Department of Children's Services in 1996 turned out to be "a very mixed blessing."
"I don't know if it's achieved much in the way of savings, and even today ... there is still factions in that department and difficulties that arrive out of that," Bredesen told reporters.
"There may be some place it makes sense, but I don't think of it as some massive ability to save money in the operation of the departments," Bredesen said.
The governor said as the leader of the Republican majority in the Legislature, Ramsey could have already put his plan in motion.
"You could do it this year if you want," Bredesen said with a laugh. "Just tell me what they are and let's talk about what the effects would be."
Both of Ramsey's opponents in the GOP nomination fight, Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam and U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp of Chattanooga, are also running TV ads. The primary is Aug. 5.
The Wamp campaign dismissed Ramsey's latest ad as "talking in generalities," and pointed to the growth in the state budget and payroll since Ramsey joined the Legislature.
"He voted for the largest tax increase in Tennessee history to pay for it all," said Wamp spokesman Sam Edelen, referring to a 2002 vote for a $933 million tax increase that included hiking the state's sales tax rate to 7 percent.
Ramsey has defended his vote as being part of a successful effort to defeat a state income tax.
Haslam, the runaway fundraising leader, has spent well more than $1 million on his ads so far. His ubiquitous ads are often among the first thing brought up when he goes on his regular door-knocking sessions in neighborhoods around the state.
A Haslam spokesman declined to comment on the new Ramsey ad.
Wamp, whose campaign has refused to say what he's spending on his first spot, stresses his job creation record in persuading German automaker Volkswagen AG to build a new $1 billion plant in Chattanooga.
Jackson businessman Mike McWherter, the lone Democrat running for governor this year, has yet to launch a television ad.

Battle of Commands has tug-o-war and ... bed races?
So far, six teams have signed up to fight it out in the annual Battle of Commands, a three-day series of competitions that includes everything from bed races to a human pyramid to a tug-of-war contest.
The event begins Wednesday, July 14, with the bed races — no cribs or coffins allowed — at 5 p.m. at the Port Hueneme Grinder.
Thursday, July 15, is the aquatics competitions at the Port Hueneme pool, including the human slip-and-slide, an inner-tube relay and boat races.
Friday, July 16, starts at 8 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m. and includes eight contests: an obstacle course, a water run relay, a human pyramid, beach flags, a sand war — new this year — a seven-legged race, a sand-castle build and the ever-exciting tug-of-war.
Teams can range from 10 people — the minimum needed for the human pyramid — to 20. All teams must participate in all events. Bonus points are awarded in some events for including female competitors, and bonus points are also awarded for sportsmanship. Having a team banner and a three-day theme or costume can also bring in extra points.
Families can help with the sand-castle build, but all other events are limited to team members only.
The Battle of Commands started in 1988 and lasted a week. It was revised through the years, dropped for a few, then revived in 2007, when it became a three-day event.
For an official rule book or to sign up, e-mail Annabelle Ferrer at email@example.com or Amanda Haskell at email@example.com.
The deadline to turn in a team list is Wednesday, July 14, before 5 p.m.

The 2010 ACC Championship Game Gut Reaction Prediction
Posted by William Kristoph
Pardon my elation, but I'm still grinning from ear to ear about the win over the Gators. So, perhaps I'm a little over optimistic about the ACC Championship Game this Saturday night in Charlotte. The way I see it, everything after that 8th win this season is gravy for the Noles, Jimbo Fisher and the rest of us. Beating both rivals in a season is a great feeling and the last time it was done I was still in college. On top of it, Maryland helped us out and the Noles get to play for the ACC Championship? Even my most optimistic season predictions didn't have that panning out.
I have a feeling of "Why Not?" at this point as I shared with furrer4 heisman over at Gobbler Country via email last night. Sure the Hokies are a better team than everyone on FSU's schedule than Oklahoma (and that's debatable at this point), but the Noles have improved a lot since the second game of the season. ACC Champions – Florida State University… why not?
- I watched enough Virginia Tech football this season to know that they're a very good team. The James Madison loss was part circumstance, part Boise State loss lingering and part VT didn't have an identity yet. That's all been corrected.
- Tyrod Taylor, the ACC Player Of The Year is good. Really good and he can run well. The Noles will likely have problems with him.
- VT has great special teams as always. David Wilson can turn the game around quickly and did it twice already in 2010. The Hokies also sport 3 good running backs.
- I feel like a healthy FSU Running Back crew could potentially tear up the Hokies D. The good running teams (Wake Forest, Georgia Tech and Miami) tore them up on the ground. The problem for FSU is that Ty Jones is banged up and Jermaine Thomas is out. Chris Thompson is all or nothing a lot of the time, let's hope he's ALL on Saturday.
- At this point Seminole fans can expect FSU to play to the level of their emotion and competition. The Noles thumped the Gators and Canes when emotions were high and the talent (if not the play calling) across the field was also high. Saturday the Noles will be very ready to face a talented Hokies team.
- The health of the running backs isn't great, but the Noles have secret weapon Lonnie Pryor that can pound the ball if necessary… world.
- Dustin Hopkins' kickoffs and Shawn Powell's punts need to stay big and I feel like they will.
- Christian Ponder needs to keep finding Rodney Smith and Taiwan Easterling. Good things happen when he does.
- The Noles defense needs to pick the strength and stop it. Then they need to hold on, because VT is going to score there's no doubt about it. FSU just needs to make sure it's less than the FSU offense can put up.
The Hokies have all of the pressure on them. This is a team that lost to FCS James Madison University leaving a nasty blemish on a great season. A team that since the loss ripped off 10 wins in a row. A team that doesn't generally fair well against the Seminoles. The Hokies have a perfect 8-0 record in ACC play this season to uphold. Virginia Tech is SUPPOSED to win this game. If they don't, it's a big fat failure for them and Frank Beamer.
On the flip side, the Noles can play loose and free. I feel like win or lose, we'll see a great and poised effort from Jimbo Fisher's Seminoles. I'm proud to be a fan of the 2010 Seminoles. I'm proud that we get to call Jimbo Fisher our Head Coach, after many folks questioned "not shopping around for another name." I'm thrilled to enjoy FSU Football again. This is all gravy. Win or lose, the Noles play in a great bowl game. What more can we ask for this year?
How about ACC Champions?
Noles 38 Hokies 34 – Why Not?

Student Life . Our Campus . Facilities
The facilities at the Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA) provide you with space designed specifically for study, living, and exhibition—all add up to a creative, friendly environment for you to pursue your dream of attending a premier school of art and design. Visit our campus and see for yourself!
About half of CIA's major studios are located in the George Gund Building as well as many academic and foundation classrooms. The building is also home to the excellent CIA Library, as well as the Reinberger Galleries, the largest private exhibit space in Cleveland, and the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, a premier alternative film theatre.
Originally a Ford Model T assembly plant, JMC has large windows on all sides and a 40-foot-long skylight. The building's high ceilings, wide corridors, and freight elevator allow students to work as large as they choose. The JMC will be the future site of our modernized and unified campus—a visually distinctive facility that will help anchor the revitalized Uptown neighborhood within University Circle.
The CIA Library is located on the third floor of the Gund Building, and it has collections specifically developed for the visual artist, designer, and craftsperson. It is a great place to study, read, research, receive help, relax, or just hang out. Public access computers, printers, scanners, and photocopiers are available for use, and the library also houses a collection of artists' books, the Institute's archives, and extensive digital resources.
Opening in fall 2014, CIA's Uptown Residence Hall is located on Euclid Avenue in the heart of the Uptown development in University Circle, just steps from campus. The residence hall is comprised of two-bedroom suites that house two students per bedroom, all furnished with a kitchenette, beds, dressers, wardrobes, drafting tables, and chairs. They also come equipped with cable television and wireless Internet. In addition, the hall has quiet study areas, three outdoor patios, a cardio lounge, a social lounge on each floor, and a laundry room. Learn more about housing at CIA.
CIA's Reinberger Galleries annually host roughly 10 exhibitions of art and design. All exhibitions are free and open to the public, and many include lectures, films, or informal gallery talks. In addition to annual student, faculty, and scholastic exhibitions, recent shows have featured works by internationally known artists, such as Andy Warhol and Ansel Adams. See the upcoming exhibition schedule.
As one of the only art and design schools to assign studio space in a student's sophomore year, CIA ensures personal studio space until graduation.
See what students love about their own space in this video or browse through our studio space gallery.
