Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
U of M shutting Blue out of gym a troubling precedent
If you happen to have a Bowflex system or a treadmill in your basement gathering dust, you might want to give your local football club a call and offer it up as a temporary training salvation.
Speaking with a number of Bombers players this week, it was revealed to me the off-season conditioning program they are usually participating in at this time is running a little behind schedule.
Since the season has ended and the Bombers have been transitioning to the new stadium, their usual, inadequate, yet functional training centre has been closed for business.
The team is currently in the process of moving and unpacking some of the old equipment and much more of the new equipment at Investors Group Field. As a result, the gym will not be available for the players that live here until the end of January at the earliest.
Though this program normally kicks off in December, having the players begin their off-season work in February is not that big of a deal. While it's true as I got older I usually started back at Elite Performance the week after the last game in November, this is not necessarily critical for players in their twenties and early thirties hoping to be in top physical condition by the time training camp rolls around in June.
The point of this story is that the relationship between the football club and its soon-to-be host and landlord, the University of Manitoba, has already soured to the extent it reminded me of my behaviour in elementary school.
When I was in elementary school, I used to walk 10 miles uphill (not really) to school with my soccer ball. Since I was the only kid who brought a soccer ball to school, when we played on the field before class and at lunch time, I made the teams and I made the rules. If you wanted to be on my team -- which always won -- and you weren't very good, you were probably going to have to give me some of your lunch. If someone had a problem with that, I would just pick up my soccer ball and go home.
It wasn't very mature, it wasn't very diplomatic or democratic, but I was eight years old, so sue me.
For those of you who don't know, the U of M Bisons football team and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have had a solid, long-standing relationship for some time and they still do. So in years past, if the Bombers requested some complimentary passes to the U of M fitness facility for the temporary usage of their players, it was less than a problem.
This year though, that has changed and it wasn't due to a problem with the college football overseers. According to my sources, in an actual time of need, when the football club has zero fitness facilities available to them due to their transition, these complimentary passes were apparently denied by a "higher up" due to a gripe with the team.
In perspective, we are talking about a small number of gym passes, a small sum of money it would cost the players to pay for a drop-in privilege. But like many things, it's the principle and the gesture that speaks the loudest.
These two organizations, whether they like it or not, are about to be in each other's faces and backyards for the next 50 years or so, and one partner, whether it was in retaliation for another snipe or not, has already taken the soccer ball away and marched home in a huff.
At worst, this is a minor inconvenience to the players who are more than capable of getting a free workout elsewhere or paying their own way. Yet the deliberate nature of this act, and its purposefulness, sets a disappointing precedent on what could be a very slippery slope.
You would think at this point, before the team has even fully relocated, these two entities would be bending over backwards to accommodate each other, baking cookies and making as warm of a neighbourly welcome as possible.
After all, a $200-million state-of-the-art stadium just landed on the promenade of the university campus, a facility to which they will have extensive access and influence over.
Yet instead, someone has decided to pull these previously afforded accommodations off the table. In doing so, this person has set a tone that could very easily snowball into an adversarial relationship for years to come.

Goal of curfew sweeps: Keeping teenagers safe
Some youths eligible for diversion program
"It's almost like a 12-step recovery program," Gutierrez said.
Officials want to keep closer watch over teens who have been part of the program. They hope to conduct follow-up interviews and enlist researchers to track the success or failure rate of the diversion classes.
San Diego police Detective John Minto, who is also a Santee city councilman, works with San Diego's Gang Commission. Years of experience during truancy sweeps, he said, showed him that "traditional policing was not working" with teens.
Minto said he prefers an approach that includes access to social services and counseling, especially if local groups join the sweeps, though they are not receiving compensation.
"Community-based organizations over here are taking a very old-fashioned approach, that this is our community and we should be responsible for the young people in our community," Minto said.
Others have doubts about the sweeps. Christopher Yanov, a Gang Commission member who runs Reality Changers, an inner-city program for at-risk youth, would rather see more activities to keep teens off the streets.
"It's just a matter of getting more resources to flood these students with options so they aren't at house parties until three in the morning," Yanov said.
The sweep that brought youths to Porter Elementary closed early, at 1:30 a.m. Officers detained just 11 teens, including two who were nabbed as they walked west on 49th Street, right in front of the school.
"This has been the slowest night," Pace said, pausing briefly. "Which is the goal."

Coke on her black skin
Made a stripe like a zebra, I call that jungle fever
from Kanye West (Ft. Frank Ocean & Jay Z) – No Church in the Wild Lyrics on Genius
Kanye notes that a line of coke on a black girl looks black and white like the stripes of a zebra (an animal associated with the jungle, though it's actually a plains animal).
"Jungle Fever" is a derogatory/colonialist term for sexual attraction between blacks and whites. Kanye twists it around here, draining it of its hurtful racist connotations by instead making it about black-on-black attraction, mediated by (white) cocaine. Also, note the zebralike poster for the namesake film that this line references.

Easter dioramas
'Peeps' party in Newport contest
Zombie Attack in 3D, by Stephanie Zara of Unity, won second place Friday night in the adult category at the Newport Library Arts Center's second annual Peeps Diorama Contest. (MEGHAN PIERCE/Union Leader Correspondent)
It was amazing to see how this year's Peeps dioramas were not a repeat of last year's competition and, in fact, reflected current events and new local destinations, said Fran Hout, the center's program coordinator.
More than 250 people attended the Peeps Party Friday night celebrating and showcasing more than 60 dioramas -three-dimensional miniature models created from the colorful sugar-coated Easter treats.
The diorama contest has definitely become a springtime tradition for the nonprofit art gallery and studio, Hout said.
"We had a lot more children enter this year. They were so inspired by what they saw last year," Hout said. "It's our second year. We weren't sure how it was going to do, but we really believe the public came through."
Winning the Best in Peeps was 10-year-old Allison Howald of Newport for "the Peep Ballet."
In the adult category, Jill and George Montgomery of Sunapee won first place with "The Sinking of the MV Peepsarge," Stephanie Zara of Unity won second place with "Zombie Attack in 3D" and Franc Raymond of Georges Mills came in third with "You Peep What You Sow."
In the family/group category, Brooke, Rette and Lynn Solomon of Wilmot won first place with "We the Peeple," the McCrillis family of Newport won second place with the "Peepsville Fire Station," and Mrs. Burroughs' 6th grade class at Towle School came in third with "Burroughs' Crazy Circus."
Winning in the children's category was Uzma Malik of Sunapee for her depiction of "Peeps in the Library Arts Center," Joshua Almstrom of Croydon second place for his "Native Peep-les," and Jackson Scheele of George Mills took third place for his "Owl Peeping."
In a change from last year The Peep-les Choice Award was not named at the Peeps Party.
This year, the dioramas will remain on display at the center for the next week. The public has all week to vote and the winner will be announced before the gallery closes at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
The best part about the contest is that it brings out the artist in everyone, said Kate Niboli, Arts Center executive director.
"People who would never think of themselves as artists spent hours creating these witty, fun, creative pieces," she said.

Oct. 15 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said Europe's developing plan to beat its fiscal crisis contains the "right elements."
"We heard encouraging things from our European colleagues in Paris about a new comprehensive plan to deal with the crisis on the continent," Geithner said in a statement after Group of 20 finance chiefs met today.
The strategy includes a bigger "firewall" to ensure European governments can borrow at sustainable interest rates, a recapitalization of banks, further support for a sustainable program in Greece, and steps toward fiscal union, Geithner said.
"The leaders of Germany and France have committed publicly to put this framework in place over the next two weeks, before the G-20 leaders convene in Cannes," Geithner said. "They clearly have more work to do on the strategy and the details, but when France and Germany agree on a plan together and decide to act, big things are possible."
Geithner said the International Monetary Fund has substantial resources and the U.S. would back the use of them to help Europe.

If we could start with a little background on our history with the Bondage and Fetish world, we would remind you of all of our past experiences with the world of kink, this all adds up to a grand total of attending the West Coast Fetish Ball, being astounded by the spectacle of it all and getting the two main stars names mixed up, Madori and Kumi are in the same show but play very different parts in their show.
The bondage ball was held at the Henry Fonda Theater on Hollywood Boulevard last Saturday night. We arrived at the venue around 9:30pm and noticed a long, long line going down the side of the building. A female reporter from some mainstream news outlet was outside with her camera crew, and they were talking to people in line, some of the patrons did not want to reveal their identities to the camera, and some of the people in line were dressed so deep in their fetish gear that there could be no way anyone would recognize their daytime alter egos.
This night promised to be very entertaining to us spectators since there must have been over a dozen, national bondage and fetish shows scheduled for the evening. We took in as many of them as we could, from burlesque dancing, to milk and whip crème covered latex dressed women, they seemed to have it all covered, or uncovered as you will read later on.
Being a new-bee and being vanilla to bondage and fetish (This is only our second event, ever) it was exciting to see some of the side shows that took place at this event, we cant tell you if the shock and awe ever wears off but we do believe you can get normalized to almost anything.
As you walked into the big ballroom, you could catch some wooden crosses with young beautiful women chained to them being flogged by masters dressed in leather and chrome. A group of very sexy ladies had a booth off to the side and offered to spank you if you could throw a ball in a bowl, only inches from your hand; the gist is they really just wanted to spank you! On the opposite side of the ballroom we ran into a group that had this girl in what looked like a huge body bag, wondering what was going on we asked the people next to us and were informed that this is a type of fetish called mummification and the girl in the bag, which had the air sucked out of it so it was skin tight with only a tube to breath from, was helpless to move and when the girl doing the mummifying started touching the bagged girl with a big vibrator the mummy moved in ecstasy but could not squirm away. It actually was very erotic looking from where we stood.
The main stage had some big shows and we had to watch just about all of them. We were treated to Chaos Productions; Venas Evil Dolls which had a lot of body painted sex kittens doing a production on stage.
Madame Sunset and her troupe of burlesque dancers took the stage and made the crowd stop and stare; stripping hot girls will do that to a crowd. We talked with Madame Sunset herself after the show and found out she performs many shows all over the west coast and would be at the Bordello lounge next week. She is a very interesting woman, we wanted to get to know her better but she was whisked away during the conversation never to bee see again throughout the night, Maybe next time we will get more one on one time with her.
The Gwen Media Girl Brigade performed a wet and exciting show on the stage and they did not disappoint the mass of followers they had at the front of the stage as the show spewed its way into the crowd, alright maybe splattered would be a better word. Sexy was the theme and they played the role very well.
There were so many thing going on that we are sure we missed at least one third of it all, the famed Jewell Manceau was in the building and we did not even get a chance to talk to her in the short time we had at the human carnival of a night, speaking of that Parish and his Carnival of Kink was in full force and Machina Cando had the latex and clown niche covered.
We made our way into a VIP bungalow on the roof of the building and met up with Brendt who is the owner of www.stickerchick.com and from what we hear one of the best pinup model artists in the business, he had a new girl he was going to be drawing next and invited us to hand with them for a while, his work is very interesting to us and we asked if we could do something together in the future, and got a resounding Hell Yes, so look for that soon.
There was not a shortage of porn stars in the room as we ran in to Jake Malone who was not shy about doing what felt good to him during the show, we cant tell you anymore, next time just be there. We also hung out with Mysterious Jack the Zipper who was there with Digital Playground contract star Stoya; you have to read Stoyas blog on the night, hilarious I tell you.
Hailey Young was there dressed in her fetish wear, we stopped and hung out with her for a while, she looked very very fuckable, but we wont get into that kiss and tell thing here in this story.
We have to give a huge thank you to the guys running the Bondage Ball for a great time and to Jay from Black and Blue Media for having the media part organized and being accommodating. Our only soft complaint would be the drink prices, when they start in double digits, its hard to be happy about your buzz, but everything else was awesome and we hope to be at the next event so we can learn even more about your world.

Responding to a recent assertion by Adm. Mike Mullen, current chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, that Pakistan is actively adding to its array of nuclear weapons, Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira insisted on Monday that Mullen was in error.
AP via Google News:
At a congressional panel last week, Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked whether there was evidence that Pakistan was adding to its nuclear weapons systems and warheads. He simply replied: "Yes."
But Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira denied that assertion Monday.
"Pakistan does not need to expand its nuclear arsenal but we want to make it clear that we will maintain a minimum nuclear deterrence that is essential for our defense and stability," he said. "We will not make any compromise."

By Andrei Braghis
Tom Gayner's Markel Gayner Asset Management made some interesting tweaks to its equity portfolio in the first quarter. For starters, it ever so slightly reduced its investment in Berkshire Hathaway. The only newcomer among the fund's top five was Diageo (NYSE:DEO); we'll give you the details below. See the original 13F here.
Why Pay Attention?
It's important to track hedge fund sentiment because, on the whole, their best picks have been shown to outperform the market by 18 percentage points a year. Best of all, retail investors can capitalize on this phenomenon, but they have to know where to look first (learn the secrets of this strategy here).
Top Dog
Markel's top pick is CarMax (NYSE:KMX). The fund has slightly decreased its stake in the retailer of used vehicles, but that did not jeopardize its position as the top dog. The total value of the CarMax shares owned by Markel is reported as $213 million. The stock price has been in an uptrend since the start of the year, advancing 23% to a current price of approximately $47 per share. Shares are traded at a trailing P/E ratio of 25.19 and have a forward P/E ratio of 20.31. This implies that the market expects the company to post generally impressive financial results in the coming quarters. Analysts have a good opinion of the stock, as 11 of 15 are recommending it as either a Buy or Strong Buy. For the current quarter, analysts estimate EPS of $0.57. Revenues are expected to grow 12.1% to a value of $3.11 billion.
Berkshire Moves
Markel has reduced its holding of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) by two shares, compared with the fourth quarter of 2012. The reported value of the remaining 1101 class A shares of $172 million places the stock on the second place among Markel investments. The price of Berkshire Hathaway's Class A stock has advanced 21% in 2013, with a current value of approximately $166,000 per share. The stock has a beta of 0.25 and, considering the reputation of Warren Buffett, it is considered as one of the safest investments out there. It is recommended mainly as a Buy on Wall Street, with analysts estimating earnings of $2,194.00 per share for the first quarter of 2013.
Tom Gayner has also reduced the fund's investment in Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B). It has sold approximately 8,000 shares, leaving the investment at a little over 1.5 million shares with a reported value of $161 million. Just like the class A shares, Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares have a small beta (0.29), which makes it a safe investment with low volatility. Since the beginning of 2013, the stock price has been rising and is currently at a little over $111 per share -- a 22% advance.
An Addition
The fourth biggest position in the portfolio of Markel is Diageo, an international company that engages in producing and distributing alcoholic beverages. The fund's investment team has increased its stake in Diageo by 36% compared to the fourth quarter. The total value of the 1.2-million-share stake is reported as $154 million. The stock is traded at a trailing P/E ratio of 19.06, while a forward P/E ratio of 17.24 suggests the company is not likely to register an impressive growth rate in the coming quarters. The stock has a beta of 0.82 and pays a dividend of $2.84 -- a yield of 2.3%. Analysts recommend it mainly as a Buy or Strong Buy.
Walgreen (NYSE:WAG) also saw a slight trimming, though nothing too major. The reported value of the remaining 2.1-million-share stake is near $102.5 million. The stock of this drug store chain has been on the rise since the start of 2013, with the price growing 28% to a current value of approximately $48 a share. The company reported good financial results for the first quarter of 2013, beating Wall Street estimates in terms of earnings, but failing to meet revenue expectations. The reported figures were earnings of $0.96 per share and revenues of $18.65 billion. For the current quarter, analysts estimate earnings per share of $0.91 and revenues of $18.54 billion.
Markel has a well-diversified and balanced equity portfolio. The presence of Berkshire Hathaway among its top investments would comfort any investor, and we also recommend keeping and eye on Walgreen as it is expected to increase its revenues and earnings in the near future.

SAP Enterprise Support Value Maps
SAP Enterprise Support value maps are a new, innovative approach to leverage the SAP Enterprise Support offering. They are tailored to providing guidance for selecting the right service out of the SAP Enterprise Support offering at the right time, for the individual customer situation and addressing the needs of the organization's individual roles.
SAP Enterprise Support Value Maps:
The best way to get the maximum impact
- Exchange and get connected with SAP experts and interested customers
- Fast, simpler, and more transparent identification through user-friendly procedure and clear execution plan
- Centralized access point to all relevant and additional offerings
- Time savings in case of critical situations including investment decisions at any time
"We were planning an SAP archiving initiative and needed a cost-effective approach that utilized our annual maintenance investment. The SAP Enterprise Support value map for data-volume management service allowed us to choose the right SAP Enterprise Support offerings, provide feedback for improvement, and more effectively engage SAP Active Global Support. We have reduced our efforts to do these tasks by at least 50%."
– Paul Forrester, Florida Department of Revenue
"We wanted to reduce the data volume in our SAP systems and took advantage of SAP´s data volume management value maps as recommended by the SAP Enterprise Support Advisory Center. As part of the project, SAP Solution Manager has become our main platform to manage our SAP IT infrastructure, which enables us to proactively and continuously manage the affected resources. After applying the recommendations received, we saved 1000 GB in SAP ERP, SAP BW, and SAP CRM, and reduced the monthly data growth in SAP ERP by about 25 GB."
– Diego Gómez, CIO, Carsa S.A.
"To ensure a successful financial system migration from Oracle to SAP, we planned a data archiving project on our SAP ERP 6.0 system. So we participated in the pilot program for value maps in data volume management within SAP Enterprise Support. The value maps empowered us with various services, and we experienced a systematic approach to analyze our data growth and distribution using SAP Solution Manager 7.1. As a result, we reduced our project efforts by about 30%, and upon the completion of the project we expect a further reduction by at least 50%."
– Ms. Zhang Yan, Deputy Director of NTUC Fairprice Co-Operative Ltd
"The data growth on our SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3 system was increasing at an average of 40 GB per month, and the database size had reached 950 GB. With the guidance of our SAP Enterprise Support advisor, we chose the data volume management strategy service. After implementing the recommendations from the service, we managed to reduce our database size by 80%. We are happy with this unexpected result achieved by SAP's recommendation, which not only saved us 850 GB of storage space, but also improved our overall system performance."
– Maozhen Yu, China National Biotec Co., Ltd
"The biggest benefit I have gotten from the Security value map pilot has been this huge new reservoir of accurate resources. If I send a question to my advisor that he/she does not know, the advisor turns and refers the question to someone who does. I was happy to experience the meet the expert sessions and advise from the advisors. It was a great opportunity to get feedback from the experts in Germany, which has been difficult task in the past. With the current delivery format, the support is more personable. It feels like I have my own SAP contact that I can count on to point me in the right direction."
– Vincent McCoy, Fulton County Schools
"As part of our support engagement, we took advantage of the SAP Enterprise Support value map for monitoring and alerting, which significantly accelerated our project. After attending several SAP Enterprise Support Academy meet the expert sessions, collaborating peer-to-peer on SAP JAM, and benefiting of the expert-on-demand service, we reduced the time spent researching and analyzing issues by at least 30%. We will continue to utilize and support the SAP Enterprise Support value map concept."
– Rick Scibek, North Carolina Department of Transportation

Owls in Chinese Culture
Owls. The night birds. My favorite animals. What comes into your mind when you think of owls? Darkness, the night, death, mystery, wisdom, secrets? Are you one of those who thinks that the owls represent bad luck or good luck? The answer this question varies depending on the culture one grew up with. I love owls even though I grew up in a culture where bad news or death is related to the owl. For me, they are the birds of wisdom, intelligence, and mystery.
Its not right to generalize most of the time but in this article I need to, as Im not going to be able to explain every different culture and how the owls are related in those. So, we can say that in the Western world, the owls are associated with wisdom, literature, and art while in the Eastern world they are not that favored. Im sure that you have come across bookstores or art studios that have the owls as their logos. Im impressed by the owls because they are the wisest animal, at least for me. Enough about me, lets take a look at how owls are seen in Chinese Culture.
Owls in Chinese Culture
The owls are called mao-tou-ying (cat-headed hawk) and xiao (bravery) in Chinese. Even though one of the meanings is bravery, the owls are not necessarily accepted in a positive way. Being a night bird, having a superb night vision, ability to move its head almost 180 degrees relate the owls to mystery, mysticism, secrets, intelligence, and death.
The hooting sound of an owl means hu in Chinese, which means digging. It can be seen as the connection of death to the owls. When you hear an owl making the hooting sound, its believed that there will be illness or death in that house. Its also believed that the sound is sort of a sign or warning for the household to start digging a grave as there will be a death. You can see owl figures on the burial ceramics of Han Dynasty.
When an owl is seen around a house, dried bushes are burned to keep the owl away because of the smell. Also, people put brooms upside down, outside the house to protect the house and the household from the owls as its believed that the owls have spiritual powers that could lead to supernatural consequences. Thats why its never preferred to attempt to kill or even touch the owl. Another reason to stay away from the owls is the belief that they snatch away the souls. Despite the fear of the owls, in some parts of China, they are associated with the gods of thunder and lightning and therefore, owl effigies are put on top of the roofs for protection.
How about your culture? Are owls liked or disliked in your culture?

Ex-outlaw biker wants others to know there's a way out
NORTH COUNTY —— Former Mongol outlaw biker Ed Power thinks of himself as living proof that anyone can get out of a gang.
His graying Fu Manchu mustache neatly trimmed and his ponytail gone, the 53-year-old North County resident said he sees himself as a role model for young people who want to live decent lives.
The thing they need to remember, Power said Wednesday in a small neat condo on the coast, is that there are ways out and it doesn't take money.
"You're not stuck wherever you're at today in your life," said the heavily tattooed construction worker. "You don't have to be. You can get out of it."
Power's way out began at the R.J. Donovan Correction Facility at Otay Mesa after he started a one-year stretch in 1991 at the state prison on an assault with a deadly weapon charge.
That was where he became involved in the Amity program, a nonprofit corporation which helps substance abusers and others reclaim their lives in California, Arizona and New Mexico.
The program for criminal gang members starts while they are behind bars and continues at Amity's residential community facilities when they get out. Power went to the Amity center in Vista, which helps about 150 ex-prisoners a year.
Jody Boyle, Power's parole agent when he was released, remembers two significant things about Power in the program. He overcame his racism, and he became a leader, helping others become clean and sober, Boyle said Friday.
"He's got so much to offer," said the parole agent of 18 years. "I'd love to see him talk to the skinhead guys I've got."
Many prisoners in the Amity program join its staff, becoming counselors and directors, she and Power said. Mark Faucette, Amity spokesman, said they serve as role models.
"They made that transition from (prison) number to name … someone with dignity, with a job," Faucette said.
Amity started in 1990 with a 200-bed project at Donovan that now has more than 400 prisoners. The program has 9,000 beds in its California prison system program, and serves as a model for other state and federal prisons, Faucette said.
He said the 50-bed Vista center was established in 1993 for men coming out of Donovan, so they could complete the program's community living requirement.
The state spends about $12,000 a year for a prisoner in the six-month Amity program, compared to about $30,000 a year to just house a prisoner.
"The most important thing is you're flipping things around to keep them out of prison," said Faucette, estimating his program's success rate at 70 percent.
Amity is one of four programs the state uses try to reduce the number of offenders who return to prison, and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has to focus on that, said Todd Slosek, department spokesman in Sacramento.
"Every dollar is accounted for here, and we are under the microscope from the state legislature," Slosek said. "They will not fund programs that are failing."
Power, born in Staten Island, N.Y., and raised in East County, said young people need to realize that gang involvement is failure and they can overcome it.

Douglas Quenqua | January 31, 2012 | Comments
The number of digital coupon "events" increased by 12.3 percent in 2011.
As the digital coupon space continues to flourish, non-food marketers are increasing their share of the market, according to a new report from Kantar Media.
The number of digital coupon "events" increased by 12.3 percent in 2011, according to the report, with non-food marketers now accounting for 40.5 percent of the overall market. That's an increase of 8 percent over 2010.
Leading the non-food categories was personal care, which represented 15.2 percent of digital coupons in 2011. Healthcare was second with 8.5 percent, followed by household products with 6.7 percent. (Healthcare showed the greatest share increase with 3.7 points.)
Food continued to dominate the space, with dry groceries accounting for 32.4 percent, and refrigerated food 16.7 percent. But all five food categories decreased as a share of the market, with the greatest decrease belonging to dry grocery, with a drop of 4.6 percent.
Taken together with previous Kantar research, the report suggests that digital coupons may now be eating into the off-line coupon market: A study from earlier this month showed a 6.5 percent decrease in free-standing insert coupons during 2011.
"The increase in the number of manufacturers that are active in the digital space makes it even more important to monitor competitive promotion activity across all media," said David Hamric, general manager of Kantar Media Marx, in the report. "Clearly, the majority of manufacturers view digital coupons and FSI coupons as complementary promotion tactics. However, the additional one-third of manufacturers that only distribute digital coupons can impact shoppers as they develop their shopping lists and plan their shopping trips."

Dear Friends:
I am the co author of this book:
Four Arrows (aka Don Trent Jacobs) and Walter E. Block. 2010. Differing Worldviews in Higher Education: Two Scholars Argue Cooperatively about Justice Education; Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
My coauthor is a Native Indian activist, with views very different than mine. Nevertheless, we have come to understand each other better, and actually become friends during the writing of Differing Worldviews in Higher Education: Two Scholars Argue Cooperatively about Justice Education.
This book is the subject of a three-part radio interview series conducted by Starr O'Hara, email@example.com, Internet Talk Radio, Sovereign Starr Show (on BlogTalkRadio) (347) 202-0398, (323) 410-0029.
The first in this series of hour long plus interviews took place yesterday, covering general principles of libertarianism and progressivism (the leftish philosophy of my coauthor) as applied to academic freedom, and is available here:
On the May 4 show we will discuss our differing views on environmentalism and the May 11 show will be devoted to wealth redistribution.
All shows will be broadcast at 7pm est.
There is precedent for cooperative publishing efforts between libertarians and socialist. For example,
Polnar, Murray and Thomas E. Woods, eds. 2008. We Who Dared to Say No to War: American Antiwar Writing from 1812 to Now. New York, N.Y. Basic Books
Radosh, Ronald and Murray N. Rothbard, eds. 1972. A New History of Leviathan. New York: E. P. Dutton.
But there are differences, too. Woods and Rothbard worked with leftists Polnar and Radosh, respectively, on an issue where our guys agree with their collaborators: foreign policy. Four Arrows and I, in contrast, argue cooperatively on areas of sharp DISagreement. (We considered co authoring a chapter on foreign policy in the above mentioned book, but dropped it, dues to lack of any intellectual tension between us.)
So, if you want to see a liberal Democrat and a libertarian tangle on important issues, get this book, and tune into this radio show.3:22 pm on April 21, 2011 Email Walter E. Block

iOS 4.3 hints at A5 processor in iPhone 5
iClarified reports that based on evidence found within the iOS 4.3 firmware, the iPhone 5 is likely to have the same dual-core A5 processor as the iPad 2. This is not at all shocking; last year, the iPhone 4 launched with the same A4 processor that debuted in the original iPad.
The iPad 2 is showing benchmark results well over 150 percent better than the original iPad, and we can probably expect the same situation for the iPhone 5. This means that, at least in terms of raw computing performance, the next-gen iPhone may be even more powerful than the first iPad. In terms of how fast the device will "feel," that's anyone's guess -- but it's worth noting that early reviews of the iPad 2 say it feels at least twice as fast as the model it replaces.

About Donna B
Hi! My main hangout in the Library is the Teen Underground, but you'll find me wandering all over the building. Originally from Northeast Iowa, I've lived in the Chicago area long enough to boo the Packers; but not long enough to pick a side in the Sox-Vs-Cubs civil dispute. I geek out on ginger ale and black licorice, Pottermore sorted me into Slytherin, and if I were a dog I'd be a shiba inu.

Asia Cork Shows Promise
Editor's note: The following article was written by Maj Soueidan, the founder of The Markets Edge Hedge Fund and GeoInvesting.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Asia Cork (AKRK) has been on the GeoTeam's radar since Aug. 20. We were encouraged that, in its 2009 first-quarter 10-Q, the company hinted that business was on the verge of rebounding from the negative effects of the global recession.
Asia Cork's second- and third-quarter results reflected and reaffirmed this sentiment. Add that the stock was selling below its book value, and the story began to gain some luster.
Well, after further due diligence, we eventually found the proverbial monkey in the wrench. In June 2008, the company consummated an offering of convertible promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants to an investor (identified as Ancora Greater China Fund, in a June 2008 8-K filing) for aggregate gross proceeds of $700,000. The one-year note obligation was past due as of June 2009. The company's obligations under the promissory notes were secured by an aggregate of 7,630,814 shares of common stock pledged by the company's CEO (Pengcheng Chen) and chairman (Fangshe Zhang).We were unsure as to the dilutive implications of potential activities required to rectify this issue. As indicated in our earlier article, Opportunities in Cheap Chinese Stocks, these situations often present prospects for savvy investors who can identify imminent resolutions to liquidity roadblocks. Stocks mentioned in the article, such as Orient Paper (ONP), Lotus Pharmaceuticals (LTUS) and China Agritech (CAGC), have handsomely rewarded investors who followed this train of thought. We also mentioned AKRK as a stock to watch. On Dec. 31, 2009, we noticed some increased trading activity in Asia Cork shares. Unable to locate any news on the wires, we decided to sift through SEC documents and noticed recent S-4 filings outlining a series of transactions where the company's CEO and chairman disposed of 7.93 million shares. Given the CEO and chairman pledged 7,630,814 personal shares to cover the debt obligation owed to the investor, we are speculating that these shares were transferred to the investor to settle the debt obligation, maybe putting the liquidity issue to rest.

text: World champions unleash Newey's Red Bull RB8 masterpiece 6 February, 2012 Red Bull RB8 Feb.6 (Grand Prix 247) Reigning world champions Red Bull Racing today unveiled the RB8, designed by Adrian Newey, which will carry their hopes of attaining a hat-trick of both constructors and drivers F1 world championship titles. Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber will once again spearhead the team's onslaught on the biggest prize in motorsport. The car features the stepped up nose as seen on all the cars unveiled thus far, except on the McLaren MP4-27. Newey who penned the last two F1 world championship conquering cars for the energy drinks stable said: "The restriction nose height which is a maximum height just in front of the front bulkhead hasn't really changed the chassis shape very much. We've kept more or less the same chassis shape, but had to drop the nose just in front of the front bulkhead, which, in common with many other teams, has led us to I think I'd probably say a slightly ugly looking nose." He added, "We've tried to style it as best we can, but it's not a feature you would choose to put in were it not for the regulation. I'd say RB8 is the fourth generation of what started with the 2009 car, the RB5. So I guess this is the great grandson of that car." Team principal Christian Horner outlined the team's objectives: "The team's goals are quite simple. It's to try and defend both titles in the manner [in which] we achieved them. Of course, when you've achieved what we have, particularly in 2011, we've set a very high standard for ourselves. But, we're always looking to improve, we're always looking, in all areas, to try and do better. We can't control what our opponents do, we're up against some formidable opponents, but we can only really focus on ourselves and only when we get to Melbourne will we truly know where we sit against our rivals."

I think from first pespective that the Lotus Renault team have got the most sleek looking "step" nose as theres no sudden drop like the others. One thing i did notice on the Mclaren was a diffuser type device underneath the front nose cone that channeled air underneath the car? Or am my eyes decieving me? The RB8 is definately just an evolution as Newey as stated, i suppose you cant improve somethings that already nigh on perfect. Is that a vent inbetween the monocoque and the nosecone where the step is btw? Could be an ingenius design to channel air underneath the car in that case! Zurf look like Newey has lost the Innovation.. http://www.gmofilm.com fools im tired of hearing about this platpus look, nose-bugers, etc whatever…stfu! lol. who cares. It's devoplopment at its finest…now what..? .since everybody has seen the "step nose" and RB8 adopted it as well…can we all say that all f-1 cars are ugly now? or are we judging by colors now? mann i never heard so many babies talk about a nose. apperenty its there for its reasons, grow up kids. candy still has sugar. sheesh. Clyde Aggressively looking platypus, I would say. More like some Star Wars X-wing with R2D2 in driver's seat May the force be with you, RB8! Butterfly @Clyde: OMG, some driver should paint his helmet to look like R2D2. scaramanga How can you call it a masterpeice? It hasn't even raced yet. The RB7 was a masterpeice for sure. Poor quality journalism at its best. Well done. Butterfly @scaramanga: Ah, they're young journalists, maybe. The RB7 was possibly the best car in the history of F1 judging by its performance relative to its pears. I mean, my god, winning at Spa and Monza with the least-powerful engine on the grid says something about the car. Truly brilliant. Schumifan any real pics of the car..the sidepods,front-wing look the same as RB7.but the underbody is very different.its not what Newey claimed a few months back that "RB8 will amaze everyone". CK @ butterfly Naa. As much as it annoys me to say it, Ferrari in the early part of the 2000's was probably the most remarkable car in F1 history… As for the journalist, have they ever proof-read their documents? I found at least one spelling error just reading it once… me262 @fools someone got up on the wrong side of the bed let ppl have opinions, sheesh Nemo Interesting airduct on the step of the nose. Obvious @butterfly That would be choice…. Evel 'The RB7 was possibly the best car in the history of F1 judging by its performance relative to its pears' Sorry Butterfly – that honour belongs to the McLaren MP4-4 which won all but one race in the 1998 season. The RB8 will only be a masterpiece if it wins races. sennauno @evel i'd hate to correct a correction but that was 1988 (typo) The McLaren mp4-4 holds 'best car over one season in history' the Ferrari 312T holds 'best car in history' with 27 wins in 5 years. The turbo charged mp4-4 only ran for one season to make way for the NA mp4-5 in 89 F1 Follower 1991 You cant really compare the mid 70's with the late 80's though as it was considered pretty much the norm to turn year on year with pretty much the same design, apart from Lotus haha! Im pretty sure if the turbo charging rules werent banned for 89 youd see McLaren turn up up with the MP4-4 again with just minor tweaks and wipe the field again!
