Sen. Jim DeMint is Retiring to head Heritage Foundation
Submitted by stu2002 on Thu, 12/06/2012 - 11:45In an interview preceding the succession announcement, Sen. DeMint said he is taking the Heritage job because he sees it as a vehicle to popularize conservative ideas in a way that connects with a broader public. "This is an urgent time," the senator said, "because we saw in the last election we were not able to communicate conservative ideas that win elections." Mr. DeMint, who was a market researcher before he entered politics, said he plans to take the Heritage Foundation's traditional research plus that of think tanks at the state level and "translate those policy papers into real-life demonstrations of things that work." He said, "We want to figure out what works at the local and state level" and give those models national attention.

How cool would it be if Nikki
How cool would it be if Nikki Haley appointed Tom Davis to replace him until 2014? Tom Davis would be a US Senator next MONTH. Perhaps Linda Graham would even support that so as to keep Tom Davis from challenging him in a primary... and maybe Jim Demint only made the decision after a promise that the governor would appoint Tom Davis...
eh, who am i kiddin, it's Nikki Haley.

Before his term expires? Will a new Senator be appointed by Haley or will there be a special election?

Current And Emerging Tools For Assessing Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
In Conclusion
Large prospective clinical studies, such as the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial and United Kingdom Prospective Diabetic Study, have shown tight glucose control and euglycemia prevent the onset or slow the progression of diabetic neuropathy. Unfortunately, we usually deal with patients whose hyperglycemia has already caused significant damage to the peripheral nervous system. It is important for clinicians to appreciate the full breadth of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, specifically how the motor and autonomic components contribute to the pathogenesis in addition to the sensory dysfunction. It is also important that we are consistent, objective and reliable with respect to our clinical examination of these patients. The Michigan neuropathy screening instrument provides a simple means to accomplish this task that may help improve your overall evaluation and treatment of patients with diabetes.

Supplement | HBS Case Collection | January 2014 (Revised October 2014) Mittal Steel's Pursuit of Arcelor (B) Paul M. Healy and Penelope Rossano Lakshmi Mittal, CEO of Mittal Steel, a UK-based company with Indian roots, took advantage of a weakened Arcelor that had successfully won a bidding war for Canadian steel company Dofasco, with an unsolicited bid to buy the company. Mittal's plans for acquiring Arcelor were initially thwarted by concerted opposition from Arcelor's board and several European governments. To Mittal's further surprise, on May 26, Arcelor orchestrated a merger with the Russian steelmaker Severstal. Although the proposed merger did not offer Arcelor shareholders as much value as Mittal's deal, Arcelor had structured the deal in such a way that it did not require shareholders' approval. Mittal wondered how he should respond to the Severstal deal. Did it make sense to continue pursuing Arcelor or should he look for other ways to expand his steel empire?

Article | Review of Accounting Studies | December 2014 Market Competition, Earnings Management, and Persistence in Accounting Profitability Around the World Paul M. Healy, George Serafeim, Suraj Srinivasan and Gwen Yu We examine how cross-country differences in product, capital, and labor market competition, and earnings management affect mean reversion in accounting return on assets. Using a sample of 48,465 unique firms from 49 countries, we find that accounting returns mean revert faster in countries where there is more product and capital market competition, as predicted by economic theory. Country differences in labor market competition and earnings management are also related to mean reversion in accounting returns—but the relation varies with firm performance. Country labor competition increases mean reversion when unexpected returns are positive, but dampens it when unexpected returns are negative. Accounting returns in countries with higher earnings management mean revert more slowly for profitable firms and more rapidly for loss firms. Thus, earnings management incentives to slow or speed up mean reversion in accounting returns are accentuated in countries where there is a high propensity for earnings management. Overall, these findings suggest that country factors explain mean reversion in accounting returns and are therefore relevant for firm valuation.

So that Creation Museum we all try in vain to forget about was resurrected on the front page of today's Courier-Journal – something about a record-breaking number of attendees, or how cavemen and dinosaurs were awesome BFFs, or something of that nature — and, wouldn't you know it: A teleological debate hath come about in the comments section (which is far more enlightening than the article itself, BTW).
Instead of focusing on the hilarity of self-indignant Louisvillians righteously pounding away at their keyboards, however, let's address a glaring problem re: the C-J's addiction to objectivity and how it makes the world a more confusing, dangerous and dumb place.
Say I write a story about Darth Vader's usurpation of the Galactic Empire and the wholesale destruction of the planet Alderaan — the latter of which is a war crime; the former resulting in the untold deaths of millions of Jedis, cloned soldiers and civilians (not to mention billions of surviving refugees) — and allot the victims/Rebels just half of the available word count. I'd be doing the readership (not to mention the galaxy-at-large) a huge disservice by depicting two sides when there's really only one. Sure, few issues are that black and white, but if half of your sources are technocrats stationed on the fucking Death Star, then what, exactly, have you written? PR for the Sith, most likely.
In the case of this Creation Museum story — where innocent children are shuttled by brainwashed adults to a magical land of indoctrination in what amounts to a wholly indefensible process of intellectual-knee capping – the faithful are presented as having enough mental wherewithal to question science and fact without reproach, thereby implying that they've just as much a right to question the validity of a blue sky, gravity, or anything else that Leviticus cannot properly explain.
By remaining neutral in tone and providing equal space for people who don't know what in fuck they are talking about beyond a gut feeling, a badly mangled grasp of the facts, or both, The C-J discredits the work of hundreds of years of painstaking scientific research, which has done far more to improve our tangible understanding of the world we live than has a book of ancient bedtime stories.
The net result? Museum founder Ken "Honeybaked" Ham continues to make money off of the Commonwealth and ruin the mental faculties of an entire generation of left-behind students with one fell swoop of an animatronic Stegosaurus tail. Assuming they even go to college (not one of those Jesus-centric ones, either), how will these mentally-stunted kids fare in the workplace of tomorrow?
Spirituality is a fundamental component of human existence, we realize; our success as a species is dependent to some degree on the communal experience that occurs in mosques, synagogues and churches the world around and the sense of altruism and cooperation they inspire. Yet they are also the places where jihads, crusades and Zionism fester — a double-edged sword, perhaps, whose irrational externalities have no place in any truly educational curriculum.
As the Good Book says, "When I was a child, I played with childish things. But when I became a man, I had to put away such childish things — like a belief in fairies and Spiderman and magical bearded sky-men." If we (and The C-J itself) want to survive the 21st century, then we're going to have to stop pretending that we're forever mired in the dangerous ideas of a time long ago and far, far away — journalistically, religiously or otherwise.

@bythewell - It's true, just popping on a little sticker doesn't take much, so you can do it at home.
But, I think can be particularly pretty when I get the manicurist to airbrush nail art designs on my nails.
I try to find classes where people are practicing the art, or even beauty schools so I can get it done for less. They will sometimes advertise cheap services in the newspaper or on their websites so students can practice. Often you only have to pay for the materials they use and not the work itself and they might get experimental if you encourage them, which I think is really fun.

2014 Supra SC450 Wake Boat Review from Ryan Shimabukuro
This is a 2014 Supra SC450 review from Supra boat owner and Olympic Speed Skating Coach Ryan Shimabukuro. Ryan is heavily involved in the wake community and just recently had the opportunity to test the new SC450 wake boat that is smoking the competition across the nation.
When Shane Stillman told me that he was bringing Supra's new SC450 to Salt Lake City for my Supra Dealer's, Marine Products, customers to demo I jumped at his invitation to try her out. Back in May, I got the opportunity to demo the SA550, so I was eager to see how the SC measured up. Unlike the SA, I had never seen the boat in person prior to the demo. I only saw pictures and videos that were posted online, so I didn't have an accurate idea on what to expect.
My first impression when I stood on the swim platform was that this boat was huge! After I got in and sat in the passenger seat, I asked Shane, "is this a 23 or 24 footer"? I was astounded, and seriously thought he was lying when he said it was only 21.8ft long. The cockpit sits several inches deeper than the SA and is extremely comfortable from any position you sit in. The SC has many of the same interior features that the SA has (vinyl quality and construction, electric E-boost drivers seat, Vision Touch system dashboard with manual switches for redundancy, snap out carpets, tower, etc) but the SC also has some unique features as well. For instance, it has the custom SeaDek Non-Skid padding on the top of the gunwales for a safer entry into the boat. It also has a removable jump seat between the driver and passenger seat to allow for multiple seating configurations. The biggest difference, however, is the bow shape. The SC has a traditional bow, but its unique shape was designed to push water out and away from the boat. This made it virtually impossible to take water over the bow. As I sat up front, Marine Products owner, Randy Casper tried repeatedly to dunk the bow into rollers and couldn't get me wet. The bow is shorter in length, but is very spacious for 2-3 adults. It is also deep like the cockpit area, which makes it much safer when children are sitting up front.
The drive of the boat was powerful but smooth, just like the SA. During turns, even at speed, there was no cavitations or prop slipping. Again, I was impressed with the feeling of the driver's area. The comfort level is extremely high for the driver due to no visual obstructions by the windshield line and anatomical designs of the dash and throttle area.
Due to high winds, the water conditions weren't conducive for wakeboarding, but we did get the chance to surf. Shane explained that the hull on the SC is the same as the SA from the windshield to the stern, so it would produce the same wake as the SA. That got me anxious since I didn't get to wake surf behind the SA back in May. I was very impressed that with just the rear corner tank and flex bag completely filled, along with the center tank at 50%, the surf wake was fun. Normally, I would have to fill an additional large ballast bag on either side of the boat but that wasn't necessary. With the smart plate at 50%, the wake was steeper, which I preferred. At 100%, the wake was mellower but longer, which allowed you to get further back on the wake. The SC's wake was so solid that even when we crossed over a Moomba Mojo's surf wake, you barely noticed any change in the SC wake, allowing the rider to surf on without any disturbance.
After spending the day on the SC, it's quite clear that this boat was designed to do it all, and do it well. Contact your local Supra Boats dealer and elevate your expectations to "beyond better" in the new 2014 SC350-550.

@RambleWoods - After just reading this article, and a few similar ones, I would say that you might want to look at what larger companies in your same industry have done to become more efficient.
At my job, we were trying to compete with big-box retailers and thought they were going to run us out of business. The owner ended up hiring an efficiency expert who helped us find small things that we were able to change throughout our daily operations. That ultimately helped us to jump ahead on the 'experience curve' and compete with the larger companies. Since then we have grown considerable amounts and are still going strong.
A lot of the changes we made had to do with combining processes to become more efficient.
I'm sure your boss would be pleased if you could find ways to do that for your company.
Good luck with your endeavors.

Brent Lightner(Treasurer)
CEO, Taoti Creative
Brent, founder, is the chief solution architect and creative director for Taoti's application development and marketing services. Taoti provides technology-based systems (typically, web and mobile applications) that couple innovative user experiences with a marketing twist, resulting in solutions that employ a no-nonsense approach to accomplishing business objectives for its clients. Most software shops focus on the technical specification. Most marketing agencies are too 'front-end focused.' Taoti is a web/software developer, but with marketing roots and user-centric principles. Since 1996, Taoti boasts over 700 clients, including The Council of Governments, The California State Senate, the World Bank, Penn State University, PICO, Memorial Hermann, and the National Kidney Registry, to name a few. While Taoti offers a very diverse array of solutions, common deployments include custom websites, content management systems, ecommerce platforms, presentation designs, intra/extranets, social media and marketing campaigns, and purpose-built database applications. Though not immediately obvious given the nature of Taoti's client base, Brent's education and background stem from his pre- med/biology degree (Bachelors of Science, Juniata College, PA / University of Leeds, UK). While Brent was accepted to Tulane Medical School, he deferred and then declined the offer to pursue his growing business (which started in State College, PA, moved to Alexandria, VA, then to Dortmund, Germany for two years, and finally back to its current headquarters, in the shadow of the Capitol Building in Washington, DC.) Brent's medical influence has been a recurring theme in his career. In addition to dozens of websites, marketing plans, and custom back-office systems built for private practices, Brent and his team developed a proprietary, interactive e-learning platform for Memorial Hermann Medical Services in 2008.

Felipe Massa: "The weekend has got off on the right foot, the car behaved well and I managed to find a good pace. I finished in the top five in both sessions, which is important in such an unpredictable event as the Monaco Grand Prix. However, we are aware that we still have much work to do. Now we will analyse all the data available to try and find the right direction to go in, because here it's vital to have a car that is both competitive in qualifying and performs consistently in the race. Mercedes has shown that it is quicker and it will not be easy to get ahead of them in qualifying, but I am sure we have what's needed to take the fight to them".

Does the shape of a glass really make a difference in taste?
Yes....prove it to yourself...pour into two different shapes and find out.

Big time!
It actually does. I used to dismiss it as people being overly prissy about drinking beer but drinking a Belgian Trappist ale out of a pint glass as opposed to a chalice can really change the flavor and aroma of the beer (for the worse, imo). My Biere du Boucaniere snifter/tulip/whatever is my favorite glass since it holds a decent amount of beer but doesn't kill the aroma. It's my go-to glass.
You might find this video on craft beer tastings to be interesting
A year or so back some freinds and I put this to the test. My friend had some of the Sam Adams Boston lager glasses, and I did not believe they really were worth the money. So we got a nice fresh case of Boston Lager, sat down, and did some science! We tested three diffrent glasses: 1. 16oz Shaker "Pint" Glass (I believe there was something either beer related and/or humorous written on them) 2. 14oz Libbey 3815 Footed Pilsner glass http://www.waresdirect.com/products/Restaurant-Supply/Libbey-Glassware/14-Oz-Pilsner3241?trackURL=shopzilla 3. The Sam's Boston Lager glass. We poured out 3 full glasses for each person (4) and tasted repeatedly as the beer levels droped and temperature rised. We found there was a noticeable diffrence in the flavor and overall aroma profile and intensity. The Shaker was much less noticeably aeromatic, and that affected its overall flavor. You more noticed just body and bubbles. The Pilsner had a nice rich noble hop character which remained througout the glass, this helped bring out both more percieved hop flavor (as you got a nice nose full as you took a sip) as well as helped heighten balance in the beers flavor. The Sam's Boston Lager glass also enhanced the aroma and percieved flavor, but not significantly more than the pilsner. Primarily our purpose was to debunk the sam's glass, and we kinda did, If you happen to have the libbey pilsners the sam's glasses just don't give you significantly more. But in comparison to the Shaker, the diffrence was NIGHT and DAY. The 4 of us came to unanimous agreement that the glass did noticeably have a diffrence in the experience. And shakers don't seem to do much very well. But they are practicaly free, every beer event gives them away I don't think I have paid for one shaker glass myself!
I was actually just thinking about buying some Libbey glasses as I'm looking for some good glasses but didn't want to break the bank. Anyone used these before? I figure 12 for 20 bucks can't be the best glasses, but the reviews on Amazon were good.http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/prod...p?SKU=16698261 If you have better suggestions of where to get good affordable glasses, by all means. Oh, and yes, in my opinion, the glass does make a difference. Never drink from a bottle.
Well I do know most of the resturaunts and beer places around here use Libbey. You don't see a lot of flaws and they have some bounce so they usualy hold up good to mishandeling and dishwasher stress. I think they are cheap just on account of the volume, I can't think of one resturaunt back room that doesn't have a STACK of libbey cases in it. Edit: I SWEAR I don't work for Libbey.

I shouldnt think about you
but thats something i cant do.
living in a dream of you and me
is not the way my life should be
and you never cared about my tears
or my fears
and even though you cheated on me
and made it so easy to see
i wish you would still love me the way
i love you and i wish you never walked away
and you promised yourself
but to somebody else
and you put a dart
through my heart.

to just be with you again
i never thought our relationship would end.

so forgive me if i do
i reallly wanna know what we did wrong
with the love that felt so strong
wow I like. I can totally relate to it.

Smoke detector saves BR couple
BATON ROUGE, La (WVLA) -- A smoke detector saved the lives of a Baton Rouge couple early this morning.
The St. George Fire Department reported that the fire occurred around 2 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 13. When firefighters arrived at the home on Braden Patrick Drive, one room had already been destroyed. The rest of the house received smoke and water damage, with an estimated loss of $75,000.
The couple living in the home made it out unharmed after a smoke detector alerted them of the fire.
The cause was determined to be due to an electrical short.


text: The Aryan migration theory at first played no particular argumentative role in Hindu nationalism. [...] This impression of indifference changed, however, with Madhev Sadashiv Golwalkar (1906–1973), who from 1940 until his death was leader of the extremist paramilitary organization the Rashtriya Svayamsevak Sangh (RSS). [...] In contrast to many other of their openly offensive teachings, the Hindu nationalists did not seek to keep the question of the Aryan migration out of public discourses or to modify it; rather, efforts were made to help the theory of the indigenousness of the Hindus achieve public recognition. For this the initiative of the publisher Sita Ram Goel (b.1921) was decisive. Goel may be considered one of the most radical, but at the same time also one of the most intellectual, of the Hindu nationalist ideologues. [...] Since 1981 Goel has run a publishing house named 'Voice of India' that is one of the few which publishes Hindu nationalist literature in English which at the same time makes a 'scientific' claim. Although no official connections exist, the books of 'Voice of India' — which are of outstanding typographical quality and are sold at a subsidized price — are widespread among the ranks of the leaders of the Sangh Parivar. [...] The increasing political influence of Hindu nationalism in the 1990s resulted in attempts to revise the Aryan migration theory also becoming known to the academic public.

Defendant Fired Shot into Ceiling in First Robbery
MICHAEL B. ARMSTRONG, 25, of Tacoma, Washington, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to 12 years in prison and five years of supervised release, along with $7,473 in restitution, for two counts of Armed Bank Robbery and one count of Possession of a Firearm and Discharging it During a Crime of Violence. ARMSTRONG pleaded guilty December 2, 2009, admitting that he robbed two Tacoma, Washington banks. At sentencing U.S. District Judge Ronald B. Leighton stressed the seriousness of the crime and the "emotional scars" suffered by bank employees.
According to the plea agreement, on December 5, 2008, ARMSTRONG walked into Key Bank on Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, and fired one shot into the ceiling. ARMSTRONG ordered all the people in the bank to lie on the floor, and told one teller to fill his backpack with money. He began counting the seconds out loud, urging the teller to hurry. When ARMSTRONG left the bank he was followed by a witness who had seen him enter the bank in a ski mask. ARMSTRONG removed the ski mask and dropped it – the witness retrieved the mask, and when he lost ARMSTRONG in traffic, the witness returned to the bank and gave it to police.
The second bank robbery occurred about a month later, on January 8, 2009. ARMSTRONG entered the Columbia Bank branch on South 84th Street in Tacoma, and ordered everyone inside to lie on the floor. ARMSTRONG brandished a gun, and told a teller to fill his backpack with $20,000. ARMSTRONG told the teller he had 30 seconds to hand over the money. ARMSTRONG took the money and fled. Police were able to locate a man matching the robber's description at a mini-mart in unincorporated Pierce County. ARMSTRONG was arrested and the unloaded gun and all the stolen money was recovered. ARMSTRONG told police that he used the money from the first robbery to pay bills and buy Christmas gifts, and robbed a bank the second time when the money ran out.
As part of the plea agreement, both the defense and the prosecution agreed to recommend a prison term of no less than 12 years and no more than 13 years in prison, but the court would be free to impose any sentence it deemed appropriate. In his sentencing memo, Assistant United States Attorney Gregory A. Gruber asked that ARMSTRONG be sentenced to 13 years.
The case was investigated by the Tacoma Police Department and the FBI. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Gregory A. Gruber.
