Sign of Model City Revival in Honduras
By a large majority (110 votes to 128), the Honduran Congress approved the modification of three articles of the country's constitution, giving powers to Congress to create areas subject to special arrangements, referred to as "Model Cities" that were declared unconstitutional last October for being considered "states within a state."
Laprensa.hn reports that "The law consists of two approved articles. The first amending Articles 294, 303 and 329 of Decree 131 of January 11, 1982 containing the Constitution, which divided the country into departments. These 'are divided into autonomous municipalities administered by corporations elected by the people, in accordance with the law'.
Without prejudice to the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, Congress can create areas under special schemes in accordance with Article 329 of this Constitution '.
The reforms also include the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court when it has to do with Article 303, which says: 'The power to dispense justice emanates from the people and is administered on behalf of the State free of charge, by judges and independent judges, subject only to the Constitution and laws '. It goes on to say:' the judiciary is comprised of a Supreme Court of Justice, the Court of Appeals, the Courts, by tribunals with exclusive jurisdiction of the country in areas subject to special regulations established under to the Constitution, and other entities established by law '.
Developer Pitches Charter City on Island Near Detroit
From the Detroit News:
As the broken city thinks big and radically about its future, a developer is stepping forward with a revolutionary idea: Sell the city's Belle Isle park for $1 billion to private investors who will transform it into a free-market utopia.
The 982-acre island would then be developed into a U.S. commonwealth or city-state of 35,000 people with its own laws, customs and currency.
City officials are likely to reject the plan. But on Jan. 21, supporters including Mackinac Center for Public Policy senior economist David Littmann, retired Chrysler President Hal Sperlich and Clark Durant, co-founder of Detroit's Cornerstone Schools, will present the Commonwealth of Belle Isle plan to a select group of movers and shakers at the tony Detroit Athletic Club.
This American Life on the Charter City Episode in Honduras
A young idealist named Octavio Sanchez is chief of staff to the president of Honduras. He gets an idea: What if you could cure all your country's ills by just … starting over? In one little spot, you could create a whole new, perfect city. Do all the reforms you want to do in that one place — and if it works, it could spread to the whole country. But how could he pull off such a radical project?
This is a guest post by Edan Yago. He is a entrepreneur who studied neuroscience and philosophy. He comes from a long line of rebels and freedom fighters. His family fought Nazis as partisans and fought the Apartheid government of South Africa. Yago has continued this tradition in Israel where he was a conscientious objector to the military and has volunteered in both Jewish and Arab schools teaching the principles of freedom. –Editor
The future is going mainstream. Publications like the Economist, Forbes and the New York Times have finally figured out something that has been obvious to us for a while now – technology is moving at breathtaking pace; but, at the same time, we are experiencing a "great stagnation", because vested interests are doing their best to limit change. Specifically, innovations like P2P sharing, virtual currencies, 3D printing, online education and DIY health monitoring are threatening the business models of large established players – everyone from big media to taxi unions. These vested interests are fighting back by smothering innovation with a blanket of labyrinthine regulations and patents.
What this boils down to is that our future is being stolen from us – because of a mismatch between the pace of technological change and governmental change.
For the last couple of decades, starry-eyed futurists, singulatarians and transhumanists have espoused a crazy "techo-utopian" idea: Technology is going to make things so cheap that abundance, rather than scarcity, will become the norm. Futurists have been the recent champions of this idea but they did not invent it. Intellectual giants of the past have been animated by this vision, which they could see as clearly emerging from the trends of technological progress.
John Maynard Keynes published an essay in 1930 – "Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren" – in which he predicted that, by 2030, society would become so rich that "for the first time since his creation man will be faced with his real, his permanent problem — how to use his freedom from pressing economic cares, how to occupy the leisure, which science and compound interest will have won for him, to live wisely and agreeably and well." Not long after, in 1932, Bertrand Russell wrote "In Praise of Idleness", where he suggested that technological and scientific progress should make it possible to reduce the work day to only 4 hours. However, way ahead of these two giants and far more influential, was a thinker for whom the increasing productivity provided by capitalism was the central idea in this thought. In 1848, Karl Marx described in the "Communist Manifesto", a "society that has conjured up such gigantic means of production" that it needs to deal with an "epidemic of over-production."
Marx realized that at some point, capitalism would make things so cheap, that capitalists could no longer be able to make a profit. When this happened, the capitalists would fight to limit abundance. Marx also predicted something else, that Big Business would try and capture whatever benefit could be squeezed out of technology to reduce its reliance on labor. So workers (the 99 percent) would find themselves, on the one hand, competing with technology for an ever decreasing slice of the pie and, on the other hand, forbidden by law to take advantage of technologies that could empower them. In other words, Marx predicted both DRM and outsourcing. It is this combination of being restricted from either end that brings Karl Marx and Milton Friedman to agreement – this is not a free market, it's a rigged game.
Which is why we are now seeing right-leaning publications like the the Financial Times agree with the likes of Paul Krugman. The FT noted that "companies have an interest in sabotaging progress and efficiency because not doing so could lead to the sort of abundance that might make it impossible to monetise anything" and linked this to thoughts by Krugman, who believes this helps account for decades of wage stagnation in America.
This war, with technology and individuals on one side and Big Business and Big Government on the other side has only just begun. As technology increasingly has the potential to empower individuals at the expense of centralized power, the steps that vested interests will need to take to hold back the tide of progress will become increasingly draconian. We need to reorient our thinking around this problem. In a world where Marx and Friedman would agree with Krugman, Keynes and even Ray Kurzweil, the old political divides are increasingly irrelevant. Technological change is the dominant fact of our modern existence. We must figure out how to adapt our governments and rules to take advantage of progress. The new dividing line in politics is between those who are ready for an evolution in society and those who want the past to control the future.
NPR's All Things Considered on Seasteading
Update–TSI responds to the story:
Our biggest grievance was the segment's failure to recognize seasteading as a movement to enable multiple competing visions of governance. Professor Holly Folk, the expert featured to provide a counter-argument to seasteading, demonstrated her incomplete understanding of our strategy by focusing on potential problems with starting a new libertarian intentional community. She alleges a desire by seasteaders to "game the global system," and claims libertarians have "a worldview that's going to be attractive to people who are in some ways probably not hard-wired to behave and take orders very well." The segment contains no evidence for the first allegation. Folk's second claim might have some validity, but only if we were advocating a single community based on a contrarian philosophy.
Another disappointment was the labeling of our supporters as "rich techies," a framing which hardly does justice to the diverse composition of our movement. The defining feature of our local meetup attendees has always been passion for alternatives to the governing status quo, and dedication to enabling a broad range of new communities experimenting with innovative solutions. Being so close to Silicon Valley, many of our local supporters are naturally interested in harnessing recent technological progress to advance humanity in other realms, such as the rules for organizing into peaceful and prosperous societies.
Additionally, the references to profits as the motivation behind our efforts are overdone. Yes, the Institute explores ideas for making seasteads economically sustainable, but profits merely exist to signal which seasteads are meeting the demands of citizens and customers, and to encourage innovation. Seastead communities will not be "built around profits" any more than existing communities on land, which of course depend on the existence of economic opportunity to support their citizens.
As diverse as our support is, it continues to frustrate us when the media pigeonholes the concept of seasteading as exclusively libertarian. Fortunately, history will not remember us for a particular ideology, but instead for our pioneering of a movement to improve all of humanity's relationship to its governments, and to the planet. We are hopeful our true vision will still reach many of NPR's listeners, and we appreciate the opportunity to be showcased to their audience.
More Complications to the Tiebout Model
The Tiebout model proposes that because entry and exit out of commuter towns are relatively easy, we should expect a competitive market in local governance. If, like Gerard Depardieu, you don't like what you're getting, you flee somewhere more amenable. Each town offers a bundle of goods–schools, street cleaning, parks, police–and each bundle has a price collected as taxes. And because people desire these goods in different degrees, we see, as the communities sort themselves out, a difference in the quantity and quality of amenities any town provides.
Bryan Caplan started things off recently by highlighting some absurd conclusions of the model: it implies local governments will not redistribute wealth from one population segment to another (and yet we see that it does) and it suggests we should see little waste in the provision of these local goods (and yet we know how our public schools are run).
Arnold Kling followed up with some more difficulties for the theory: exit is not frictionless and the bundling of local goods helps to pile on lots of pork.
David Friedman added a note for Bryan's post:
What's wrong with [the model] is that land can't move. If the local government engages in exploitative taxation, pocketing the money, people move out. As they move out, land values fall. They stop moving when the drop in land value just balances the cost of the exploitative taxation. The implication, if the rulers are smart, is that they will produce an efficient bundle of services, but tax away the land value and pocket it.
One more point I'll add to Arnold's thought. Our friends and the networks we create take time to develop. As a child, I hated moving to a new school because it meant I lost my friends and had to make new ones. The same effect holds for growing networks in an industry. For example, there's some evidence that startups located in a founders's home region outperform those started in unfamiliar places. In addition, we come to grow attached to the businesses and vendors in a neighborhood. Routines enable trust. And so, whenever we move communities, we also lose the Hayekian local knowledge about where we live, all the little tricks such as what roads to run on and where to find parking places at the train station. Sure, all these difficulties can be overcome, but the pebble problems add to the burden of exit.
Patri's P.S. Also see Bryan's paper "Standing Tiebout on his Head" (linked at the end of his essay), and my response: Seasteading, Tiebout, and Federalism: Seasteading FTW

The Ghetto Brothers were a gang (or club) founded in New York City's South Bronx in the late 1960s. They eventually spread to much of the Northeastern United States. Like the Young Lords, they were involved in Puerto Rican nationalism, including, in the case of the Ghetto Brothers, an association with the then-new Puerto Rican Socialist Party. Ghetto Brothers founder Benjamin Melendez, who left the organization in 1976, was also known as a guitarist. He led a band, also known as the Ghetto Brothers, which included his late brother Victor Melendez on drums.

So yesterday we found out more about the character Bowser. Today we're being shown his final smash move. When the smash ball is grabbed Bowser will turn into the almighty GIGA BOWSER. Scary isn't it?
You'll only be able to control Giga Bowser for a small amount of time, so it is handy if you can knock out the players on the field before you change back. Of course however Giga Bowser is huge and slow and so some enemies may take advantage of that situation and catch you off balance!
More tomorrow.

For The Herald Bulletin
— Every day starts a new story. We recently traveled to Bellingham, Wash., to see our daughter and our new grandson. As happens on a long drive one begins to notice a pattern. This one resonated of mothers and veterans.
Our first Sunday we stopped for church in Medford, Minn. Like most Catholic churches in the West its sanctuary was elegant in its simplicity. The musicians were an unusual blend of guitar, banjo, and xylophone – a happy sound that was suited for the day. It was First Communion Sunday. I noticed one mother who was proud of her boy and perhaps a bit in prayer that he wouldn't be too much of a boy till the service was over. Mother and boy, I've seen that special bond many times in our interviews.
In Missoula, MT we stayed at Ruby's Inn where I saw a collage of family photos featuring a WWII Marine from the 4th Division. I asked an employee about the photo and he replied with several great stories of the motel owner and his family's service. I wished I had the camera.
In Bellingham I met a serviceman who had flown F-86 Sabre jets. Like so many of our interviewees he was unpretentious, and fascinating to the maximum. Again I wished I had the camera. The next day was Sunday. It was our daughter's first Mother's Day.
Mothers and veterans – I thought about that theme on the long drive home. I thought of Charles King and how he "Heard his mother's voice" one night warning him to be careful. That night Dr. King's position was overrun. That extra bit of caution saved his life.
I thought of Frank Mack and his vision of his mother as his landing craft approached Okinawa. He saw her at church in a dress she made for that Easter. One year later, in his mother's kitchen, she brought out the dress she had made for that previous Easter. It was the same dress Frank had seen in his dream.
I thought of Frank Robeton's mother who forbade the family to tell Frank she was dying. He was in a combat zone. She was afraid the distraction would cause her son to make a fatal mistake. I remember how the tender hearted soldier at Anzio cried when he received the news of his mother's death.
Mothers and veterans. There have been many interviews where we hear of a dying buddy calling for his mother. Perhaps the bond is so strong because mothers are the antithesis of war. Mothers are life, and safety, and love. To a boy who has been drained of that by the crudeness of war it means so much.
I'm proud of our daughter. There a re times when motherhood leaves her ragged and stressed. I'm sure there are moments when she wants to chuck it all, but she continues to respond to her call with a mother's love. I pray for grace, strength, and love as she molds our grandson's story.

We commonly focus on those who are experiencing depression or other mental health concerns, but what about those who are living with someone who is experiencing these disorders.
How can a loved one encourage someone to get help, or what do you do when their mental health is ruining your relationship.
The impact of depression in America:
• 15 million adult Americans suffer with depression each year
• 6 million adults suffer with other mental health issues such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders
• But 50% of those with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia never reach out for help. And statistics show that almost the same rate of depressed people never ask for help as well
No one would want to be depressed or have mental health disorders. So why don't people reach out for help?
• Some suffer from shame and feel immobilized to get help
• Some have impaired judgement that keeps them from getting help
• Some feel too vulnerable to reach out
We have all seen the commercials with the little cartoon person, and the saying that says, "depression hurts."
But depression also hurts those who live with someone who has depression.
What are some things we can do to help someone they love who has depression?
• Be gentle. Show support and tell your loved one how much you care
• Stop nagging. Don't get into a debate about who is right and who is wrong. Ask questions to find out how you loved one feels
• Suggest that your loved one goes to their PCP. It is easier to get most people who are depressed to agree to see their physician versus a psychologist or psychiatrist.
• Work with your loved one and offer to go with them to the physician or a mental health professional. This type of support might help them feel safer to reach out for help
• Get help for yourself. Meet with a therapist and learn ways to deal with your concerns, frustrations, and discover problem solving techniques.
• Gain support from your support system. Remember that it is essential that you stay connected to others and not isolate
• Remember if you don't care for yourself, you won't be able to care for anyone else.

Ciara Rocks 2014 Hyundai/Grammy Celebration
The Staples Center wasn't the only joint in town with great music last night (January 26), as Ciara brought her A-game to the Los Angeles Convention Center for the 2014 Hyundai/Grammy Celebration.
The "Goodies" gal looked stunning as she took the stage with a very pronounced baby bump, and she's excited for what the future holds both personally and professionally.
Ciara told People, "Being engaged and also getting a fresh start on my music and everything with (record company boss) LA Reid and now being able to share something so special to me with the world. It's a very fulfilling as a woman because now I can really start to go shopping with my bump."
"Something like this happens, especially it being my first time, I think it's important I do things on my time. Some people I know may ask me questions about whether the rumor is true and I felt so bad because I told them a story. I even told that to my mum and dad. I didn't tell my mom and dad as early as I wanted to because I wanted to see them in person and with my schedule I travel so much so it was hard to really be able to tell them, or everyone how I wanted to."

When psychosocial stress triggers a stress response, the body releases a group of stress hormones including cortisol, epinephrine (or adrenalin) and dopamine, which lead to a burst of energy as well as other changes in the body (see this article on the fight-or-flight response for more.) The changes brought about by stress hormones can be helpful in the short term, but can be damaging in the long run. For example, cortisol can improve the body's functioning by increasing available energy (so that fighting or fleeing is more possible), but can lead to suppression of the immune system as well as a host of other effects. Epinephrine can also mobilize energy, but create negative psychological and physical outcomes with prolonged exposure. That's why it's important to manage psychosocial stress in our lives so that the stress response is only triggered when necessary. It's also important to learn stress relief techniques to effectively reverse the stress response so we don't experience prolonged states of stress, or chronic stress.

Apple iMac G4
Reviewed by Gibbyice (Currently owns)
Ten years on, I have a sudden urge to revisit my 17" 1GHz iMac G4 which after 5 years as my son's primary computer I have managed to reclaim it after gifting him an iPad for his birthday.
Running Mac Os X Tiger with 1.2 GB RAM (It can actually support 2GB) it feels reasonably snappy for light tasks and useable with the now free Adobe CS2 Creative suite (google for cs2 downloads).
I can listen to music in iTunes, surf lightly although some flash sights no longer work correctly.
I have decided to use the Mac for some creative work and studying using devonthink, Macjournal, Office vX and some other software I still own older versions of.
The screen which appears to float in front of the user, provides viewing angles which are still one of the best on a desktop computer I have ever used and brought a smile to my face as I reminisced over the happy times I spent glued to the screen. The sound system from the Harmon Kardon speakers and built in amplifier reminded me of the evenings and parties where the iMac and iTunes provided the entertainment.
Its still a great machine I cant part with and the design still looks so modern and fresh, I cant help but wonder if the iphone and iPad had'nt been such a runaway success what kind of breath taking iMacs Apple would have been producing now?

Government Law
Lawyer for former Christie loyalist contests NJ governor's account in traffic-jam scandal
Posted Jan 31, 2014 7:20 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
The plot has thickened in the New Jersey traffic-jam-scandal saga. Following Gov. Chris Christie's assertions that he had known nothing in advance about a claimed plan to close lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge in September as payback for a lack of political support by the Fort Lee mayor, a lawyer for a Christie political appointee at the heart of the scandal cast doubt on the governor's accounts.
In a letter made public Friday, an attorney for David Wildstein said the former director of interstate capital projects for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey "contests the accuracy of various statements that the governor made about him and he can prove the inaccuracy of some," the Associated Press reports.
However, Christie's office said a key claim in the letter—that he knew about the lane closures at the time—is consistent with the governor's explanation that he thought they were part of a legitimate traffic study.
CNN provides a copy of the letter (PDF) by Alan L. Zegas.

There seems to be no end to the shady job offers for me to delve into. This time, I received a job offer via email that was ambiguously described as "transaction operations and customer service". I responded and here's what happened…
I decided to research this job offer because I have been receiving more and more of them lately and they are all very similar. In fact, I received two of these in the same day. Interestingly, one was addressed to and from a Sharon with a different last name and the other was addressed to and from a Roy with a different last name (Roy is my husband's name). It certainly looked suspicious (how often do you get legitimate job offers via email out of the blue from total strangers?). I had some ideas about what this was really about. Let's see if I was right.

One thing I noticed is something that is common to many scams: Awkward grammar. This is always a bad sign. Also, the whole thing just doesn't make any sense. With international banking being what it is, there should be no reason for a third party to have to get involved to take a company's payments for them. It looks like this is a money laundering scheme or an identity theft scam. Only one way to find out…
I sent an inquiry and within 12 hours received a response:
Hello! please fill out an application form attached to this email, scan it and email it back. Application processing usually takes one business day and, after positive decision, you will receive an employment agreement to sign. Have a great day! Truly Yours, Deputy Director Oleg
Click here to see the "application".
This is a pretty lengthy application and at first glance it looks like this might be a real job. But then I notice that it asks for your Social Security number as well as your driver's license number. Once they have that, they have your identity.
Just kidding. Of course I won't. I may as well include my bank account information if I did that. I wonder how many people fall for this though. At least I know that you won't be one of them.

Scary thing is if they had been a little more sophisticated they might have been been able to pull it off. How many people are familiar with the Form I-9 used for hiring? One of the combos you can send is SS# and driver's license.
Not to mention that they ask for your visa card number and expiration date. Now why on earth would they need that in order to "hire" you?! Answer is: THEY DON'T!
Identity SCAM for sure here!
Thanks for all of the great work that you do for all of the virtual assistants and people that work at home Sharon.

Tomlin recently announced he will know who his number 1 QB will be going into training camp. He's seen all three prospects play. He's developed one of them, signed another, and was introduced to a long time vet when he arrived in 07'. I believe he will make the best decision based on all the tangibles and intangibles, but here's SoCal's take on the first Steelers' QB controversy in a while.
via prod.static.steelers.clubs.nfl.com
Dennis Dixon
via prod.static.steelers.clubs.nfl.com
If you could teach a Flamingo to break tackles, tear off outside runs, and throw a pigskin you'd have a pink Dennis Dixon. The 3 year red shirt has stepped in admirably in a hostile Baltimore stadium. He gave it his all and left everything on the field. No questioning his effort. The kid can scramble, make terrific plays with his feet, and has very good vision. Dixon has the look of hunger like I haven't seen in a QB in a while. After throwing the game losing pick, to very good NFL defensive scheming, he looked heart broken. Many guys in his shoes would hang their head low, head to the locker room, laugh it off and try next time. Not Dixon. It looked like he had just let down the entire city of Pittsburgh. He couldn't live with himself. "Dennis you're only in your second year and you made some great plays out there!" Try telling him that. This kid doesn't want anything less than victory and I love that about him. He needs to bulk up in the legs to ensure that we don't need to add medical insurance for him. A more solid o-line and a dedicated run game might just be that policy.
Byron Leftwich
via prod.static.steelers.clubs.nfl.com
I was at Boomer's the other day and was having my hand at the fast pitch in the batting cages. While watching the ball slide down the machine and thrown furiously at me around 65MPH I couldn't help but think of Lefty. The big awkward QB with the ridiculously slow release and even slower feet. Not to knock on Lefty, but that is one funky throw! Lord Byron has the experience to step in and manage a game better than most backups. His arm is what could throw off our receivers. His motion is so different from most that our TE's and WR's need a lot of reps to get acclimated to his style. He can fire a rocket down field or hit a receiver coming across the middle like a duck target.... but have you ever seen a NASA rocket take off? It's suspended for an unheard amount of time before it really starts to accelerate; Lefty's arm. Tried and tried again. One that can succeed or fail miserably. His number was called at Fed-EX Field one late night in 08' and he looked like a natural. He has proclaimed that he loves our offense and I'm sure the Steelers Organization. I want Lefty only if we absolutely need him to step in. Great backup.
Charlie Batch
via prod.static.steelers.clubs.nfl.com
Get your cane and your easy chair because we need to talk about Mr. Batch. If he doesn't end up as a future Steelers QB coach I'll be very surprised. Batch has a great mind for football. It's helped him overcome a small frame and average arm to be successful in the NFL. He does not, however, have the durability to last in this violent league. 4-6 weeks with Batch under the helm? I'll get the hospital papers ready. Don't get me wrong, he can manage, make very smart choices with the football in his hands. But as soon as one 300lb NT falls on his arm we bandage him up and give him back his clipboard. I'd say Batch has to be number 3 in this decision. His loyalty to the Steelers organization is unparalleled. Not too many fan bases have a guy on their team that rarely plays that is so loved. For what he does for this city, his charities, his team. Charlie Batch is a class act till the end. A great guy. But we're talking who's going under center this fall and Batch needs to understand his playing days are just about over. Coach up or walk.
Wrap up
Obviously you can tell that I'm leaning towards Dixon. I believe he has all the tools to succeed and a drive to win. I watched him make magic happen in Oregon and I'm excited to see that magic again. We drafted him for a reason and now's his time to step up and make a name for himself. I believe he will do just that. I will believe in Tomlin's decision 100%. What say you BTSC?

As we approach the season, the extent of my "positional previews," has included the kicking units and the coaches. Not exactly rocket science. However, I decided that for the rest of the team, we're going to mix it up a little bit. Using today's position as an example, we all know that Nate Clements is the #1 cornerback on the depth chart. It's no secret. So, rather than put together a general preview covering every one of our cornerbacks, I wanted to look at specific players and situations that need to be addressed.
Today we'll be talking about our cornerbacks. After Nate Clements, Walt Harris is the likely #2 following a Pro Bowl season last year. Assuming he stays healthy, Shawntae Spencer is no worse than the 3, although I wonder if he is able to nudge his way back into the starting lineup at some point. Walt Harris is coming off a monster season, but I am not sure if we can expect another season like that. One positive to Spencer being the 3rd corner is that the less time he spends on the field, the less likely he is to hurt himself. It's sad but true. I think he's got a world of talent, but it seems like annoying injuries limit him some of the time.
Obviously Spencer will be on the field in nickel and dime situations. In the NFC West, where big receivers are coming home to roost, you certainly can't have too many good corners. Two questions emerge out of this then: 1) Does Shawntae Spencer move past Walt Harris on the depth chart at some point this season? 2) If not, do you see any sort of platoon situation occuring with Harris and Spencer, among others. Harris turns 33 on Friday (Happy Birthday Pro Bowler) and is certainly no spring chicken any more. Shawntae Spencer on the other hand is only 25. The good news with that is that even if he is in a more reserved role this year, he's young enough to put this experience to good use down the road.
The second area I want to look at is the potential battles between Marcus Hudson, Tarell Brown, Donald Strickland and Dashon Goldson. I fully expect Goldson to get playing time at both safety and corner as he has had success in college at both positions. Most of us agree that Tarell Brown could turn out to be a steal of the draft if character issues don't sprout up and he shows the talent he has. I'm a bit more curious to see Hudson and Strickland this preseason. Both are relatively young and while Strickland is going from potential to reality (entering his 6th season), Hudson will be entering his
3rd 2nd season and brings solid size and speed to the table. At 6'1, 200 lbs we could definitely use that kind of big body to compete with the likes of Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald and Torry Holt among others. When we need to roll out a 3rd and 4th cornerback, he certainly provides a viable option.
In the last few seasons, the depth at pretty much every position has been non-existent. Due to that, the secondary was always rather weak when facing the many talented receivers around the league. The addition of Nate Clements and the drafting of Tarell Brown and Dashon Goldson will provide the cornerback position with unheard of depth. The addition of Clements alone allows us to push people further down the depth chart and reduce responsibilities. Even if Spencer spends the entire season as the 3rd cornerback, it shows how much deeper we are that we can allow that to happen. I've always been a big fan of Spencer and hope he can win back a starting job. However, I'd be just as excited with this secondary to see him rolling out in nickel type situations. I think our secondary will grow from a real weakness in past years to one of our bigger strengths this season. That's not a wild prediction, but one that definitely already has me sleeping easier.
The next question mark we'll address: the infamous backup running back position (and we'll try and avoid any discussion of Michael Bush).....

NEWBURYPORT, Mass. — Last weekend's crippling storm made it nearly impossible for some people to leave their homes. Worse yet, others learned they probably won't have one to return to.
Battered and beaten by a succession of powerful oceanfront storms, Plum Island homeowner Thomas Nee said it was time to accept the fact that neither he nor his father could live along the waterfront any longer.
A surge tide brought a ferocious pounding surf that left five homes considered uninhabitable due to erosion damage over a several hundred yard stretch of Plum Island.
"I can't stay here," Nee said.
The storm surge on Saturday was devastating in many ways. "It's absolute mayhem out there," said Bob Connors at the height of the surge. "The water is coming right up to the houses."
In his 33 years along Plum Island, he said he hadn't seen the seas so high or rough. "It certainly is not a place to be going for curiosity-seekers."
Along Salisbury Beach, which is north of Plum Island, Glenn Guilmette said he was standing near the windows Saturday morning when a wave smashed through the glass, throwing him off his feet and perhaps knocking him unconscious.
"Knocked me on my ass, good times," Guilmette said.
He and his dog where sent sprawling into the kitchen and covered by a table.
Other homes in the beachfront area also sustained water damage but most dwellers had returned to their property later in the weekend and begun cleaning up.
Details for this stroy were provided by the Newburypost, Mass., Daily News.

Referendum 'will affect Scotland's future forever'
Scottish Secretary Michael Moore said that in 12 months people will make a choice that "will affect our nation's future forever".
He said: "This is an absolutely defining moment and a once-in-a-lifetime choice. That's why I hope people will think carefully as they prepare for the vote.
"I firmly believe that Scotland will be stronger, more secure and more prosperous if we remain as part of the UK.
"Between now and next September I will continue to argue this case as well as providing what I believe will be robust and persuasive evidence."

We've been in full on pirate mode lately. Pirates, pirates, pirates. Pretend play? Pirates. Tell a story? Pirate story. Hiking? Searching for pirate treasure. Everything is translated into pirate. It is hilarious. And also amazing to me how incredibly passionate my son is about them and learning about them.
One project we've been really into is creating maps. Thanks to pirates, First Mate can sketch out the layout of our house and read maps with ease. He'll draw paths for me to follow, wandering from room to room.
Last week I filled a tiny wooden treasure box with a handful of hard candy "jewels" and hid it in the yard, tucked under a tomato plant. Then I drew a map of the backyard and rolled it up and put it in a bottle. And tossed the bottle in the yard for the Mates to find. Which they did. Imagine the look on their faces when they realized it was a map! A pirate treasure map!
Oh, the giggles and excited squeals that followed, I could drink their happiness.
There is nothing more fulfilling than making my kids happy.
So I've been terribly quiet here, for reasons I shared on my personal blog today, and also because I've been so "in the moment" that I haven't felt inspired to capture anything on camera. I wanted to keep all these fleeting moments to myself for a bit. Drink it all in.
I hope you are welcoming the month of June and summer with open arms! I know we are!

Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — SHELBYVILLE —Shelby Electric Cooperative held its 75th annual member meeting Friday, June 14 at the Shelby County 4-H Fairgrounds, Shelbyville, where members were served a pork chop lunch, heard reports and elected members to the board of directors. Members also heard from State Senator Chapin Rose as he presented House Resolution 397 congratulating the cooperative on 75 years of service to its membership.
During the meeting members re-elected J. Mark Lash of Findlay and John M. Scott of Pana. Both men will serve a three year term.
In his report, Board Chairman Darrell Shumard of Stewardson spoke about the history of the cooperative. "I personally want to say thank you to those who have served on this Board and given their time and effort to serve this coop," said Shumard. "Had it not been for their foresight and their hard work, this coop would not have seen the lights come on."
President/CEO of Shelby Electric, Jim Coleman, informed members about improvements to the phone systems, and the availability of a new communications platform called SmarHub that allows members to use their smart phones and tablets to pay their electric and PWR-net bills. It will also allow members to look at their usage and learn ways to be more efficient. In the near future, it will allow members to inform the cooperative of service interruptions.
"We have increased our number of phone lines to help with excessive call volumes during storms," said Coleman. "In addition, we are working on an outage map system that you'll be able to view via the cooperative's website, www.shelbyelectric.coop. That link will show where an outage is located, how many members are affected and when it has been restored. We hope to have this available soon."
Coleman also spoke about the methods Shelby Electric Cooperative employs to ensure stability in its power supply.
"Your elected board governs, studies and has established, that unstable short-term savings are not wise, but to embrace a long-term stable path for electric delivery and rates," said Coleman. "It may be slightly higher relative to short term offers in the near term, but we believe it will be the best strategy overall for you and future members."
On the topic of Patronage Capitol Credits, Coleman said, "In the past several years the board has made an aggressive effort to return as much of that patronage as possible, while maintaining the company's equity and stability." He was pleased to announce that the cooperative has returned more money back to the members than any other cooperative in the state. The money the cooperative receives from the membership that is over the cost to do business, is considered patronage, and is allocated back to the members as directed by the board. Capital credits retired through May 31 totaled $5,817,214.91.
Members were told to mark their calendars for July 20 when a Power of Green customer appreciation day will be held at the East Route 16 location. Coleman also reminded members that the co-op moved their PWR-net customer service representatives to the main cooperative office, but the Power of Green recycling will continue to be open at its current location. As of May 31, Power of Green had collected 366,470 pounds of recyclable materials.
The cooperative also announced that Mallory Jefson, a graduate of Shelbyville High School, Jared Beeson, a graduate of Pana High School and Taylor Damery a graduate of Meridian High School were the three scholarship winners. Each student received a $1,000 scholarship from Shelby Electric Cooperative.
Shelby Electric Cooperative is a member of Touchstone Energy — an alliance of more than 740 local, consumer-owned electric utilities around the country. Shelby Electric is committed to providing superior service based on four core principles: integrity, accountability, innovation and commitment to community. The co-op serves more than 9,971 meters over 2,187 miles of line in parts of Christian, Cumberland, Effingham, Fayette, Macon, Montgomery, Moultrie, Sangamon and Shelby counties.

Queen's University experts comment on going back to school
Using social media to teach – Sidneyeve Matrix
Film and Media Studies professor Sidneyeve Matrix is an expert in digital culture and communication and can comment on how this fall more professors are taking advantage of social media tools for teaching.
"Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, smartphone apps, and online webinars are all being leveraged to connect with GenY students who are adept at digital communication. Connecting the classroom to culture at large, sharing real-time news updates and supporting flexible, collaborative coursework are all reasons digitally fluent faculty are adopting online, mobile and social tools for teaching and learning," says Dr. Matrix."
Please note that Dr. Matrix is only available after noon on Thursday, August 29th. She is only available for print and radio media requests.
Curriculum reforms – Theodore Christou
Education professor Theodore Christou is available to comment on today's curriculum reforms and the new wave of progressive education. Are Ontario's schooling practices and programs out of touch with the pressing concerns of contemporary life?
"Today's curriculum reforms must be understood in light of their historical context," says Professor Christou. "We are caught up in a new current of progressive education, which first began to transform Ontario's schools after the First World War and, again, in the late 1960s. Ontarians are increasingly attentive to the changing circumstances and realities of contemporary life and school curricula are once more seemingly out of touch with the realities of modern existence. As in 1937, when Ontario's first progressive curricula were implemented in the province under the leadership of Duncan McArthur, today's curriculum revisions demonstrate a perceived need for schools to adequately respond to and prepare students for active participation in a modern world that was ever-evolving and fraught with change."
Professor Christou is also prepared to discuss subjects that include civic engagement amongst youth, the teaching of history, and citizenship.
Back to school branding/shopping/back to school commercials – Tandy Thomas
For many students, back to school time means back-to-school shopping. Queen's School of Business Professor Tandy Thomas is available to talk about the branding, marketing and commercials that surround the concept of going back-to-school.
Cloud technology for students – Keith McWhirter
Queen's Associate Director of ITServices Keith McWhirter can comment on student use of cloud technology and how the platform that students use to access it has become less important, while the prevalence of device support for cloud access has increased.
Parents and separation – Mike Condra
Mike Condra, director of the Queen's University Health Counseling and Disability Services, is available to comment on parental anxiety after their child leaves home, often for the first time. He can discuss the many challenges associated with a child moving away including dealing with the sense of loss, expectations for their children and how university has changed since they attended.
Bullying prevention – Wendy Craig
With school just around the corner many parents have dived into back to school planning for their children. This is an excellent time to open up a discussion about bullying prevention with your child.
To arrange an interview, please contact communication officers Rosie Hales at 613.533.6000 ext. 77513 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or Anne Craig at 613-533-2877 or firstname.lastname@example.com

You can see a lot of references to "new atheism" and "new atheists" in the media today, but when was the last time you saw anyone use these terms and actually explain what they mean? When was the last time you saw someone clearly explain and define what it was they were criticizing when they attacked "new atheists" and "new atheism"? You almost certainly haven't, but it's used so negatively so consistently that the impression is created that "everyone knows" what it means, if as no one can quite define it.
Origin of New Atheism
The term "New Atheism" appears to have been coined by Gary Wolf for an article in Wired magazine.
This is the challenge posed by the New Atheists. We are called upon, we lax agnostics, we noncommittal nonbelievers, we vague deists who would be embarrassed to defend antique absurdities like the Virgin Birth or the notion that Mary rose into heaven without dying, or any other blatant myth; we are called out, we fence-sitters, and told to help exorcise this debilitating curse: the curse of faith.
The New Atheists will not let us off the hook simply because we are not doctrinaire believers. They condemn not just belief in God but respect for belief in God. Religion is not only wrong; it's evil. Now that the battle has been joined, there's no excuse for shirking.
Three writers have sounded this call to arms. They are Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett. A few months ago, I set out to talk with them. I wanted to find out what it would mean to enlist in the war against faith.
Wolf seems to have only meant it to describe the increasing self-assertiveness of some atheists today and the unapologetic nature of their atheism — and to that extent, the term might be considered justified. Many critics of atheism, though, invest the label with everything they don't like about atheists. Their goal, then, appears to be to shut down the self-assertiveness and unapologetic atheism in favor of a quiet, meek, and submissive atheism.
What's New About New Atheism?
If there were anything about "new atheism" that was neutral or objective, it would be possible to point to something genuinely "new" which is common to all those who qualify as "new atheists" and which cannot normally be found among "old" atheists. The people using this label shouldn't have any trouble citing to the qualities, behaviors, or attitudes they think are new — but thus far, none have managed. You'd be hard pressed to even find any that have tried.
In the few instances that a few have tried, though, they don't succeed in pointing to anything that can't be found among numerous atheists, skeptics, and freethinkers of the past. At best, this suggests extreme ignorance about atheism and atheists on the part of these critics — so much ignorance, in fact, that none of their conclusions should be taken at face value.
It's only the attention and popularity of New Atheism which is truly new, and this seems to be precisely what its critics find so objectionable: atheistic criticism of religion was marginally acceptable when it was unknown. Now that its getting widespread attention and gaining serious traction, it has to be attacked. Religious apologists can't admit this, though, so they make up the idea that there is something "new" that bothers them.
What Does New Atheism Mean?
A number of qualities are attributed to "new atheists" and "new atheism." Here are a few which seem most popular:
- Militant
- Fundamentalist
- Rude
- Intolerant
- Dogmatic
- Narrow-Minded
- Confrontational
These attributes all have one thing in common: they are all negative. None of them are even neutral, never mind positive. It is thus no surprise that the people most likely to use the label "new atheist" are probably the least likely to count themselves as member of that group. They don't use the label as a neutral, objective, or fair designation; it is, instead, a label designed solely to convey a negative evaluation and criticism. By hiding all that in just a label, however, the person making the criticism hopes to avoid being called upon to support it.
New Atheism as an Epithet & Attack
It would be fair to dismiss the attacks made by critics of "New" atheism as mere anti-atheist bigotry, but they also look suspiciously like other complaints we see about diverse groups. Kids in the past used to be polite and respectful but today are unruly anarchists. Women in the past were demure and moral but today have become sluts. Gays used to stay in the closet and keep their sexuality to themselves but today they shove their perversions down our throats. Black people used to know their place but now the are all too uppity.
In this, atheists may be just another group which is assumed to have once been more "tolerant" (which is to say more respectful of the established order), but which today has become too uppity, aggressive, and militant. There is an element of truth to all these complaints because it's true that many people throughout society have become a bit less willing to submit to authority figures simply because they have some measure of power and authority.
People are refusing to accept second-class status simply because it is "tradition." People in society are placing more value on individualism, self-fulfillment, and asserting oneself. At the same time, though, it isn't true that people in the past all meekly submitted to authority without question.
It's more a difference of degree than kind and that's why the so-called "New" atheists aren't really new: they aren't saying anything new because aggressive criticism and even ridicule of religion occurred in the past, but their popularity seems new because such criticism and ridicule wasn't welcomed as widely. That really is new, and it's something which every freethinker, skeptic, and supporter of liberty should welcome.

The tweet was seemingly innocent -- James was impressed by Blake Griffin viciously dunking on Perkins -- and said the same thing most of America was saying at the time.↵
However, within the story about LeBron's response is this fun quote (emphasis mine).
"I'm an easy target; if someone wants to get a point across -- just throw Lebron's name in there," James said. "You could be watching cartoons with your kids and you don't like it, you say, 'Blame it on LeBron.' If you go to the grocery store and they don't have the milk that you like, you just say, 'It's LeBron's fault.' "↵
Gas costs too much? LeBron's fault. Stub your toe? LeBron's fault. Can't find the remote? LeBron's fault again!↵
Everything's coming up LeBron('s fault).↵

My problem is simple, but I want to be 100% sure of the answer. So, I have a blog, hosted at X . Because of the high prices of X I found host Y which is cheaper, and I want to move my blog to Y, but without losing it's content. I use Wordpress as platform.
The method that I think it's risk free of losing the content is that XML file obtained from Tools > Export and at the new host, after installed wordpress, I import the file from my computer. But also, I want to have another backup, and I thought that a backup for the database is necessary.
How do I import the content from the old host to the new host using the .sql file I obtain from the backup of the database? And is the method of backup with the XML risk free?

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Charlotte McDade came to the station wearing pink tonight, in memory of her daughter, Jamaica Freeman. Charlotte says her daughter first noticed a breast lump when she was just 22, but no one thought it was serious until it was too late. Now, after a four year battle with breast cancer, Jamaica died this week, leaving behind four young children.
"And I tell all young women please, please go get checked because she was a very young lady to have breast cancer and it moved to the liver. Then, it moved to the bone and that's what killed her. I'm going to bury her in pink and white," said Charlotte McDade, a devastated mother.
The problem is Charlotte doesn't have the money to bury her daughter. So, Jamaica's fellow employees at Physician Network Services are organizing a huge bake sale Friday morning at City Bank off of 34th and Slide from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Donations can be made there as well, in memory of Jamaica Freeman.

Select Route:
This is the middle boulder of the #3 group. From the ground it looks to be the highest of the group and resembles a small arete. There is one main route on this boulder but there are possible more and maybe a variation or two.
Getting There
Follow the gravel road from the Hitchiti parking lot. You could also follow the hiking trail but the road is shorter. When you get down to the river go right along the river (north) until you see the boulders. Boulder 3A is the tallest boulder in the #3 group. This group of boulders is at the bottom of the hill closest to the river.

*Note - This report is sent only to the Forum Moderators, no other user will see this.
Reported Post
any guess on the percentage of owners who use the forum? Come contest time there are 40 teams 7-8 per team. Some never come back. There are always people on my team I've never seen post. What do think the number of active people were? And then how many bows does Mathews sell each year? I'd guess the percentage of people using the forum is pretty small. Don't really watch hunting shows either but seems to me most hosts shoot Mathews more than the others combined? Doesn't Mathews continue to dominate tournaments b/c they sponsor all the best shooters? Mathews marketing has always flooded the market with advertising and sponsorship. I doubt this forum will have a major impact on sales. Agreed shops sell what they push. Years ago I went to buy an x-force. Came home with a drenalin b/c shop pushes Mathews. I was really looking forward to buying a new bow this year. Hadn't bought one since reezen. But the flagship bow was split limbs and I wasn't interested so I bought 2 used Mathews off eBay instead. If sales are down my guess is b/c they keep moving away from solid limb SOLOCAM that is synonymous with Mathews.

Injured Cannock soldier is face of 2012 Poppy Appeal
A soldier who lost both his legs in an explosion in Afghanistan has become the face of The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
Sapper Clive Smith, who is from Cannock in Staffordshire, was serving with the 33 Engineer regiment when he was injured in an improvised explosive device incident in 2010. He was part of a team searching for improvised explosive devices when the blast happened, he spent five days in critical care before he was transferred to Headley Court.
Determined to overcome his injuries in April Clive Smith spent a week at the Battle Back Centre in Lilleshall, Staffordshire. The centre, which is funded by The Royal British legion, helps the wounded, injured and sick service personnel recover.
During his time there, he took part in activities such as wheelchair basketball, rock climbing and bowling.
– Sapper Smith
"Taking part in activities like wheelchair basketball, rock climbing and bowling was great fun and really encouraged me to focus on what I could do as opposed to what I couldn't do after injury. This positive outlook has really helped in all parts of my life.
"It's humbling to know that the centre has been created because of the public's generous support of the Legion, and the Poppy Appeal in particular. Without it, the Legion would not be able to help guys like me, as well as people who have left Service and their families. I'm glad to be giving my support to the charity by being at the launch and also being in the Poppy Appeal poster campaign."
Sapper Smith is in London and is oined by celebrities including Alesha Dixon and Pixie Lott to launch this year's national Poppy Appeal.
– Alesha Dixon
"It was personally inspiring to meet the Centre staff and participants such as Clive Smith, who was seriously injured in Afghanistan. I saw first hand how Clive and other troops are being supported in their recovery through sport, and to focus on what is possible. They put their necks on the line to give us all a normal life, and I'm glad to be giving something back to them by supporting the Poppy Appeal."

NutriSlim Tea Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Nutrislim Tea is a confusing diet product for consumers. There are packages that read Nutraslim Tea and others that read Nutrislim Tea with the same look and ingredients. This could mean that Nutrislim Tea and Nutraslim Tea are the same products. The ingredient list contains one ingredient and one ambiguous statement, so there is a bit of doubt about whether this product is a viable weight loss alternative.
List of Ingredients
Malva Verticellatta (Chinese High Mallow), All Natural Oriental Herb Product.
Product Features
Chinese High Mallow is a natural laxative and diuretic. This is a typical ingredient in weight loss teas. Laxatives cause a temporary dip in weight because they pull water from the body to lubricate the bowel and move excess waste out of the body. Laxatives are only safe for use with occasional constipation and should not be used regularly for weight loss. Over time, bowel muscles can grow lazy if they no longer have to work to move waste through the digestive tract. This can cause dependence on laxatives.
The diuretic qualities of the Chinese High Mallow are also a concern. Diuretics also pull water from the water. When combined with the effects of laxatives, dehydration can quickly occur. Often, weight loss or cleansing supplements that include a diuretic and laxative will add potassium because potassium is lost during diuretic and laxative use. This supplement does not contain potassium.
The only other item on the ingredient list is an all natural oriental herb product. We do not whether this is a statement about the product or an ingredient that the manufacturer wants to avoid revealing. If there are more ingredients there is no reason why the manufacturer should hide those from the dieter.
Dieters taking a prescription diuretic or over the counter water pill should not used Nutrislim Tea. This could lead to cramping and potassium imbalance. Too little potassium can lead to death.
Nutrislim Tea sells for $2.49 per box. One box contains 12 bags. There is no disclaimer about potential health risks which is a huge oversight. We could not find an official website, so we can assume more information on the product and possibly a more complete ingredient list would be available if a website were published.
- Easy to purchase online.
- May relieve occasional constipation.
- Laxatives are not safe for use during dieting.
- Long-term use of laxatives may lead to health problems.
- Diuretics can lead to dehydration.
Losing weight is about more than going to the bathroom more often. Diuretics and laxatives fool the scale for a small bit of time, but then the scale catches up when water stores return. The body holds on to water to use during normal, healthy processes.

Things I Know
This week I know-
-nothing evokes such terror as being on home ed camp and watching kids your child has played with come down with gastro (we still haven't had it yet *crosses fingers and toes*)
-if you want to have great photos of said camp to share either chage your camera's batteries or pack the charger.
-portable DVD players for the car are worth their weight in gold.
-birthday girls like to cut their own slice of birthday cake.
-Now that Tannah has a hand held gaming system I keep finding Luke stashed away in corners playing "Littlest Pet Shop"
-4 days and 3 nights away on camp with 3 children and no husband can leave a Mama feeling completely exhausted, and kind of scared of how much washing there is to do.
