Will the NYT ever include any economic analysis of the costs imposed on the economy by copyright enforcement? As a result of this form of protectionism, books, music, video material, computer software and other items that would otherwise be instantly available at zero cost, instead can cost consumers large amounts of money. This dwarfs the economics costs that result from most forms of trade protection, which rarely raises the price of items by more than 10-20 percent.
This article on efforts by Internet providers to crack down on unauthorized duplication of copyrighted material would have benefited from some economic analysis.
According to legend, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was started when Mrs. O'Leary's cow knocked over a latern in her barn setting it on fire. While Mrs. O'Leary certainly didn't set the fire on purpose, she is probably not the person we would consult on fire control. In the same vein, it is reasonable to ask why anyone would consult Bill Clinton about the country's current economic problems.
While the economy performed well during the second half of the Clinton administration, it was building up the imbalances that laid the basis for the current crisis. The late 90s growth was driven by a stock bubble which led a consumption boom. When the bubble burst, the economy went into a prolonged downturn. It did not create any jobs from March of 2001 to September of 2003. The jobs lost in the downturn were not gained back until the beginning of 2005, at the time the longest period without job growth since the Great Depression.
Furthermore, when the economy finally did begin creating jobs it was driven by the housing bubble. While the bubble itself cannot be blamed on the Clinton administration, it is responsible for the imbalances that laid its basis. Robert Rubin, Clinton's treasury secretary, consciously pursued a high dollar policy. He used the U.S. control over the IMF to bring it about.
A high dollar makes U.S. goods less competitive in world markets. If the dollar rises by 20 percent it has roughly the same impact as putting a 20 percent tariff on all our exports and giving a 20 percent subsidy on all our imports. This sort of increase in the value of the dollar has way more impact on trade flow than any trade agreement possibly could.
Rubin's high dollar policy meant that the U.S. would run a large trade deficit. If the country has a trade deficit, then it absolutely must have negative national savings. (This is an accounting identity, it has to be true.) Negative national savings means that we must have either large government budget deficits or very low private savings, as was the case at the peak of the housing bubble, when the savings rate hit zero.
It is likely that President Clinton does not understand this basic economics. He recently lectured the public on how to create manufacturing jobs through trade, apparently not realizing the country was losing manufacturing jobs due to the soaring trade deficit during the last three years of his administration. This means that he may not know that he is giving bad advice, but that still doesn't mean that there is any reason for the media to want to seek it out.
The business-backed group Third Way has been making a big point of going after Social Security lately. Today it had a column telling us that Social Security is in crisis, even though the most recent projections from the Social Security trustees show that the program can pay full scheduled benefits with no changes whatsoever for a quarter century. Even after that point, the program would always be able to pay a higher benefit than what current retirees receive.
Third Way's crisis argument hinges on the fact that the program is paying out more in benefits than it collects in taxes. In other words, it is relying on interest from the $2.6 trillion trust fund that it has built up over the last quarter century. To term this a crisis would be like saying that Bill Gates had a crisis because he dipped into his $50 billion in assets to build some new play houses for his kids. The trust fund was built up for the explicit purpose of supporting the program. It makes no sense to say that using it is a crisis.
It is also worth noting that even if we waited until 2036 and the program actually faced a shortfall, the amount of additional revenue needed to sustain the program's full benefits past this shortfall would be trivial compared to costs like the increase in military spending associated with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Third Way also is being somewhat deceptive in describing its proposed Social Security cuts as progressive. The cuts would hurt all beneficiaries, although the largest cuts would be for people like nurses and firefighters who might have averaged $60,000 to $70,000 in wages over their working lifetime.
While these cuts might technically be progressive for the program (they will reduce Bill Gates benefits by a larger proportion than the benefits of minimum wage worker), they will certainly have a larger impact on the living standards of low and middle income retirees than wealthy retirees. (They will reduce the retirement income of a low wage worker by a far larger proportion than the retirement income of Bill Gates.)
The focus of the cuts on middle income workers is progressive in the same way that a tax increase of 5 percentage points on workers earning less than $30,000 and 10 percent on income over $30,000 (and capped at $250,000) can be called progressive. On average, higher income workers would be seeing a bigger tax increase than lower income workers, but the people hit hardest do not fit anyone's definition of wealthy.
NPR decided to do a cutesy piece in which it implied that the debate over the debt ceiling amounted to the semantics of what constitutes a tax increase. It told listeners that there appears to be some movement by Republicans who are now willing to consider the elimination of some tax breaks, although these would have to be offset by reductions in tax rates. In other words, there would be no increase in revenue.
This is ZERO movement. Most Republicans have been on record as being willing to go along with the elimination of some tax breaks in exchange for a reduction in rates. In fact, this is the explicit goal of the Ryan plan which lowers tax rate but promises to offset with the elimination of trillions of dollars of unspecified tax breaks. This bill was approved by the Republicans in the House with just 4 Republicans voting no. It also garnered near unanimous support from Republicans in the Senate.
In short, the notion that there has been some change in the Republican position so that they are now willing to consider tax increases is a complete invention of NPR. It badly misled its listeners with this piece.
This is the point that the Post should have been highlighting in an article about President Obama's comments on the housing market in his twitter townhall yesterday. Nationwide house prices had just tracked the overall rate of inflation from 1896 to 1996. In the decade from 1996 to 2006, house prices outpaced the overall rate of inflation by more than 70 percent.
At the point where President Obama took office, house prices had fallen by about 20 percent from their bubble peaks. Since there is no identifiable change in the fundamentals of the housing market, it is reasonable to expect prices to fall back to their trend levels. However, the article quoted Obama as saying:
"The continuing decline in the housing market is something that hasn't bottomed out as quickly as we expected."
This statement reflects a frightening degree of ignorance about the housing market. It should have been the main focus of the article as the Post attempted to determine whether President Obama and his advisers could really not understand the housing bubble, the collapse of which has given the economy the worst downturn since the Great Depression.
There are a large number of organizations that produce interesting research on the labor market on a regular basis (including CEPR). Today the Post ran a front page piece on a study from the Pew Research Center that told readers: "Men Getting Jobs Faster than Women."
Those who read the article would discover that neither men nor women are getting jobs at a very rapid pace. In fact, the employment to population ratio (the percent of people over age 20 who are employed) has fallen for both men and women since the recession ended in June of 2009. It has just fallen more rapidly for women than men, a 1.1 percentage-point decline for women compared to a 0.5 percentage-point decline for men.
Given the slow rate of job growth to date, it is not clear that the pattern of employment growth at present tells us much about what the mix of jobs will look like when (and if) employment grows fast enough to raise the employment rate. This was a peculiar piece of labor market research to highlight, since the Post so rarely discusses the labor market. More obvious research to highlight would include the large and growing research showing that structural unemployment explains at most a small share of the increase in unemployment since the beginning of the recession. This means that the vast majority of unemployment is due to bad economic policy, not a mismatch of workers' skills/location and available jobs.
It would also be interesting to see a discussion of racial patterns in employment. While the employment rate for white men and women have edged up over the last year, employment rates for black men and women are at recession lows.
The Post could also do a piece that covers research the OECD and elsewhere that discusses the effectiveness of work sharing programs in reducing unemployment. Post readers would probably be interested in knowing that Germany's unemployment rate has actually fallen by 0.5 percentage points since the beginning of the recession even though its economy has grown no more than the U.S. economy.
This is due to the fact that it has given firms incentive to reduce work hours rather than lay people off. This policy costs no more than paying unemployment benefits and keeps workers at their job.
That's the problem when you have young reporters. They can't remember back to the 1990s.
If NPR did have reporters who remembered back to the 1990s they would not be telling listeners that Ohio Governor John Kasich was "chairman of the House Budget Committee when he balanced the budget with President Clinton in the 1990s."
Actually, neither John Kasich nor President Clinton balanced the budget in the 1990s. The 1996 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projections for the fiscal year 2000 budget showed a deficit in that year of $244 billion. Instead, the government ran a surplus of $232 billion. According to CBO the legislated changes put in place by Mr. Kasich and Mr. Clinton over this four year period added $10 billion to the deficit.
This background information might have given listeners a somewhat different perspective on Mr. Kasich's quote:
"At the end of the day, you look yourself in the mirror, and you say to yourself, 'Did I do what was right for families and for children, and if I paid a political price, so what?"
Source: Congressional Budget Office and author's calculations.
An article on the congressional debate over a new transportation bill began:
"The next flash point in the debate over the nation's will to live within its means may emerge this week as House Republicans present a long-term transportation bill expected to cut funding for highways and mass transit by almost one third."
Characterizing the battle over the transportation bill as a "flash point in the debate over the nation's will to live within its means" is crude editorializing that would not appear in a news section of a serious newspaper. It's because of articles like this that the Post is known as "Fox on 15th Street."
The Post reported on President Obama's assertion that it is necessary to make large cuts in projected deficits, telling readers:
"Obama weighed in Tuesday, noting that a remarkable bipartisan consensus has emerged about the scope and severity of the nation's debt problem. 'Most of us already agree that to truly solve our deficit problem, we need to find trillions in savings over the next decade, and significantly more in the decades that follow,'"
It would have been more appropriate to use the term "asserting" rather than "noting."
Noting implies that the claim that President Obama is making about a consensus is true. It is not.
People familiar with economics know that the main reason that the country is facing large budget deficits is because of the economic crisis created by the collapse of the housing bubble. Contrary to President Obama's assertion, the main way to solve the deficit problem is to get the economy back to full employment.
This is yet another case where the Post has ignored journalistic standards in a front page story to foist its editorial position on readers.

Covering a wide range of topics, from advanced masking to chart creation, Illustrator CS4 Beyond the Basics reveals a whole new level of power, creativity, and efficiency with Illustrator. Instructor Mordy Golding explores how to work with Live Paint groups, get the most out of the Live Trace feature, and take advantage of Illustrator's wide range of effects. He also discusses advanced transformation techniques, powerful 3D functionality, and important color concepts. Exercise files accompany the course.
I was once talking with a friend of mine who happens to be a photographer and he was telling me that one of the most important aspects of photography is not necessarily the camera or the subject, but the lighting. And in reality the same can be said about working with 3D inside of Illustrator. In fact, we're going to talk about two different settings here that control the final result of what your artwork looks like. One of them is the surface properties, meaning what materials your object is made up. Is it a very shiny or glossy or highly reflective material? Is it a matte or flat surface that doesn't reflect light so much? Things like that. And also ultimately the light that you shine on your object.
To better demonstrate these particular features, I'm going to be using this Frisbee example and I'm going to be using a Revolve setting, just because it happens to be that this shape has lots of curves and settings that really show off some of the settings that you can't really see when you use an Extrude setting. But everything that we learn here with lighting and shading that applies to the Revolve effect also applies to the Extrude effect as well. So I'm going to start by selecting this object. I'm actually going to move my artboard a little bit to the left here, so I have some room to see the dialog box. I'm going to choose Effect > 3D and then I'll choose Revolve. I'll click on the Preview button and now you can see my Frisbee right here. Now you can see over here in the bottom where it says Surface, right now it's using something called Plastic Shading.
In fact you will find four options for shading inside of an Illustrator. One called Wireframe, No Shading, Diffuse Shading and then the final one, which is being used right now called Plastic Shading. But these four settings are really just the tip of the iceberg. I'm going to come over here to this button that says More Options. I'm going to click on it to reveal the entire surface area that I can see here for controlling the shading of my 3D objects inside of Illustrator. Let's start with the basic option here called Wireframe. Wireframe basically just gives me the actual wireframe that was created to create the geometry of that 3D shape. It's pretty cool and there can be many cool graphic applications for using these wireframes. Now you can't actually change the actual stroke width of these objects, in order to do so you will need to actually apply the 3D Revolve effect and then expand it. In doing so you will get all the strokes that you could change to anything you want to, just like you can adjust regular artwork inside of an Illustrator.
However, by default Illustrator always uses the quarter point's width for this particular stroke that is using to draw these wireframes. When you choose the Wireframe option, there are no other additional options available. Let's take a look at the next one. It's called No Shading at all. Now, No Shading just simply uses just the regular plain solid fill that you have used to apply it overall to the entire object. Now it looks like nothing here, but again if I go and I click OK right now and I expand my artwork, I'll have all the geometry that I could use to shade on my own. Again, this option might be useful if I wanted to maybe bring this artwork into Flash or I want be able to apply shading using gradients or something else for that matter.
However, the two settings that you use most often are probably going to be these two right here: Diffuse Shading and Plastic Shading. If you think about this, for example, the Diffuse Shading is simply a matte object or an object that has a flat surface or I would say not a reflective surface. And then the Plastic Shading basically refers to an object that has a reflective surface. Think of plastic or glass or metal or something like that. So let's first take a look at the Plastic Shading, which happens to be the default setting inside of Illustrator. The first thing you will notice is this little box here on the left side over here which actually controls the light that you are shining on to your object. Notice that you have this sphere which represents your object. Again, think of the same thing as this cube that you have right here, but in this case it's a sphere. And you have a single light that is now shining from the upper right-hand corner of the object directly on to the object itself.
The settings for this light appears on the right side over here. For example, right now, where it says Light Intensity, it's set to 100%. But if I wanted to kind of pull back some of that light, I wanted to make it that the light was not as bright but maybe a little bit more dim than it is right now, I could change the Intensity down to maybe 50%. If you take a look over here, I hit the Tab key to accept that value. I no longer have a bright object; my object kind of got a bit darker, notice, because I don't have a bright enough light hitting that particular object. Let me change the Intensity here back to 100% to bring it back to where it was before.
Now you also have the ability to control the brightness of all surfaces uniformly or what we call the Ambient Light. For example, choosing 100% brightens up the entire object overall, but doesn't let me really see the detail of the shading. Again, I'll return the Ambient setting back to 50%. Now the Highlight Intensity over here basically determines how intense that highlight is on the shape itself. If you want to think about a light that I'm shining on the object, do I have a light that basically expands a lot? Or think about the difference between maybe a floodlight and a spotlight. A floodlight might throw the light across the entire surface of my object, but a spotlight might aim light directly in a certain area.
A high Highlight Intensity would act more like a spotlight where as a low Intensity would actually act more like floodlight. I can also control the Highlight Size, which would again control how big that highlight is or if I look at a Frisbee over here, this area that's being seen right here as the highlight. Finally, at the bottom of the list here is something called Blend Steps. This is an incredibly important setting when using 3D inside of Illustrator. Now if I take a look at the shading that's going on over here, I might think that Illustrator is using gradients to be able to create those areas, but in reality Illustrator is using blends and that's because some of the contours that you create in your objects, it's much easier and more realistic for Illustrator to use blends.
However, the way that blends work inside of Illustrator is I have a specified number of steps in those blends. I start off with one shape and then I gradually morph that into another shape to create this shading. The higher the number of steps in my blend, the smoother that my blend appears, but there is a catch. The more steps that you have in your blend, the more complex your file is. And likewise, the longer it takes to render your 3D artwork, which is really why by default Illustrator uses a value of 25 for the blend steps. But I'll tell you that in real production, 25 blend steps is simply not enough.
In fact, if you take a close look at that Frisbee that's right over here, you can see that in this area where the highlight is and in this area as well, you start to see these distinct areas or these steps where the color shifts or changes. To get a better looking 3D object, you will want to change that Blend Steps setting to something upwards of 200. And you will notice that now the color is far smoother. The downside is that it's going to take a lot longer to render this artwork and work with my 3D shapes in general. So what I generally do is I leave my Blend Steps set to 25 as I'm working. In this case here I get really zippy performance but when it comes time to actually export or print my document, what I'll do is I'll then go into the 3D effect and I'll crank that Blend Steps settings up to like 225 or more.
In that way I know that I'll always get the best possible results on output. So let's take a closer look at what the settings are of the actual light itself. Now right now the light is shining on the upper right hand part of the object but because of the rotation that I have I may want to shine the light on a different part of the object. To do so, I simply take the light itself and click and drag on it to change its position. When I release the mouse, you'll see where the lighting updates. I could hold down the Shift key as I drag this around, but again depending on the performance of your system, you may see real-time results or you may have to wait a while until it updates. Now, Illustrator does have the ability to add multiple lights to a single object.
See right now, I have a single highlight in my piece of artwork, but what I could do is I can click on this button over here to add a new light. Now I have two lights shine on my object. I can actually have one light hitting it from this side of the object and one from this side of the object. As you can see I now have a highlight on this side and a highlight on this side of the object. So I really have complete control over how I light my object. I also have the ability to click on any light and send it to the back, behind the surface. In this case if I rotate my artwork so that I can see the back of the object, I can see that I have a highlight in that particular area because I have a light shining to the back of the object. If I realize I don't want the light that I had added, I can simply click on it to select it and click on the Trash Can to delete that particular light.
Let me change this back to Off-Axis Front setting. And we'll take a look at this setting over here called Shading Color. By default, Illustrator took my regular color and simply created darker areas by adding black to that red color. However, I could choose to use a different color for shading. Instead of black, I could use any other color, I could either choose None or I could choose Custom. And when I do so I get a little box that I can click on that brings up a color picker that I could choose another color for shading. Choosing a color other than black is almost the same as you were shining a different colored light on your object. I'll click Cancel though and leave it set to black for now.
So we have explored all these settings for lighting, let's take a look over here at the Diffuse Shading option. So if you take a look over here on the right side I have Light Intensity, Ambient Light, Highlight Intensity and Highlight Size. The really only difference between the Plastic Shading and Diffuse Shading is that Diffuse Shading does not have a highlight at all, so no intensity and no size. The result is an object that appears to have a matte or flat surface as opposed to a reflective surface like the Plastic Shading does. So finally there is one setting here on the lower left-hand corner called Preserve Spot Colors. Now if you are working with an object, in this case here I chose a regular CMYK red color for the fill of my object, but say that was Pantone 185. If I wanted to preserve this artwork and I wanted to actually print it using Spot Colors and I wanted the red to print in Pantone 185, what I can do is I can check on that box. As long as my Shade Color is set to black, the black that's added to create the shading here will actually be defined as overprint inside of Illustrator.
Now I'll need to activate the overprint preview setting inside of Illustrator to see that but when I print it that will print correctly using two colors. In closing, I'll tell you that when I'm working inside of 3D inside of Illustrator, based on my experience, I spend the most time in this little surface area controlling the lighting and the settings of my surface of my object, more so than anything else in the 3D dialog box. Between the lighting settings that you use and even more importantly, the number of Blends Step that you specify, you could change a regular plain 3D object into something truly spectacular.

Latest YouTube superstar is awkward dancing pre-teen (Video)
Filed under: Gadgets
Tina's room looks pretty straightforward for a kid her age. And when she speaks, she sounds like your typical junior high kid -- awkward, a little self-conscience, and hindered by a mouth full of braces.
But Tina is a superstar -- at least online. All she does is post videos of herself dancing and singing along to pop songs in her bedroom, and yet she has fans (thousands of whom view everything she posts), more than 200 comments on her most recent effort, and an official endorsement from celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton.
In the above video, she dances to the Backstreet Boys in a performance that, for all it's shortcomings, is incredibly endearing.

Marla said...She is beautiful, in the way that Ugly Betty is beautiful. Real. I love her.
Heather said...She is clearly developmentally delayed, you didn't need to post this.She cute and all but isn't it a tad bit immature to be covering this video on Parentdish.
RobMonroe said...Heather - I disagree with you. Just because she might have a developmental delay does not mean that she should be ignored on a parenting site like this. If she is comfortable enough with herself to put up video's on YouTube, and lots of them, I think we should be able to celebrate her efforts.
The more often that we ignore or turn away from things like this, the more it seems that it's something that is wrong. This is not wrong.
This is a girl - a regular girl - doing regular girl things.
Greta said...Will one of the bloggers at ParentDish please cover the One Laptop Per Child program - specifically the "give one get one" offer they have right now? It's a much more important story than most on the blog right now...
HM said...According to Perez Hilton, she's 16, not a preteen. And the "official celebrity endorsement" is just a loser making fun of a developmentally-delayed girl.

FeaturedCommentsWow 0-0 I was told you were amazing but....
This is not amazing This is Amazing Awesomeness put into a box and tied up with a red ribbon. And when you open the box... you are so amazed by the perfect quality of the art that you no longer can think or type straight. Thank you for the compliments! ;u; I still appreciate them even if you say them more than once.
I just gotta ask, what do you use to draw? Like progam(s) and such :3
Your art is so amazing! You inspire me a TON! I know you probably get that a lot, but it's true :3 Hello! I'm really sorry for the late response; I've been quite busy at work. I am really flattered to hear that I inspire you ;u; It makes me excited!
As for programs, I really don't know how to use too many! For all of my digital art, I use Photoshop CS3 but most versions of Photoshop above PS7 are pretty much the same. Though this is coming from someone who has never used Creative Cloud haha. |

The Double-Edged Sword of Autoimmunity: Lessons from Multiple Sclerosis
Received: 14 April 2010 / Accepted: 21 April 2010 / Published: 22 April 2010
(This article belongs to the collection Toxicity and Therapeutic Interventions in the Immune System)
Abstract: The relationship between immune responses to self-antigens and autoimmune disease is unclear. In contrast to its animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), which is driven by T cell responses to myelin antigens, the target antigen of the intrathecal immune response in multiple sclerosis (MS) has not been identified. Although the immune response in MS contributes significantly to tissue destruction, the action of immunocompetent cells within the central nervous system (CNS) may also hold therapeutic potential. Thus, treatment of MS patients with glatiramer acetate triggers a protective immune response. Here we review the immunopathogenesis of MS and some recent findings on the mechanism of glatiramer acetate (GA).

Local man wins big prize with low-cost golf shot
NEWPORT — It was a low-cost shot with a very high return.
Playing in the Newport Country Club's Annual Couples Golf Tournament last weekend, Batesville's Eddie Brock scored a hole-in-one on the sixth hole. The prize was a GMC Terrain SUV.
The 180-yard ace happened with "a 5-wood that me and Harry Crossett put together 20 to 25 years ago. We built it for maybe 15 dollars," Brock remembered, laughing.
The golf ball he used was a Noodle — not one of the more-expensive types. -
Highwaymen break through
The Atlas Asphalt Highwaymen broke through for a Zone 2 American Legion baseball victory Monday night at the North Complex.
The Highwaymen scored two runs in the first inning and never trailed en route to a 4-1 victory over the Blytheville Century 21 McWaters Casons.
The Casons bounced back to win the nightcap 6-3.
Scoring early was the key, Batesville Coach Gary Sevier said.
"We scored early, and we haven't been able to do that in zone games recently," he said. -
Crushers start slow, win big
The Batesville Crushers had their usual slow start, but they still made short work of the Mountain Home Bombers in the first round of the Cal Ripken District 3 Tournament for 11-year-olds at Fitzhugh Park on Monday night.
After trailing 2-1, the Crushers won 13-3 in a run-rule shortened four innings.
"Honestly, that's kind of typical for this team," Coach Brad Mace said. "They don't seem to worry about getting behind, and once we get the bats going they hit well." -
Fitzhugh Park gets busy as first of 3 tournaments scheduled to start tonight
Fitzhugh Park will a happening place this week as local Cal Ripken League baseball teams host two tournaments.
The District 3 Tournament for 11-year-olds is scheduled to start tonight as Mountain Home takes on Heber Springs at 6. The loser is slated to face Batesville in the 3-team, double-elimination event at 7:30. Tuesday night, an elimination game is set for 6, pitting the losers from Monday's games, and the championship game will follow. If necessary, the rubber game will be played Thursday night at 7:30. -
Marion Legionnaires continue run with two wins in Batesville
The Marion Post 53 Rangers remained unbeaten in the Zone 2 AAA American Legion baseball standings by sweeping the Batesville Atlas Asphalt Highwaymen 7-4 and 11-9 Saturday at the North Complex.
In the opener, which counted in the zone standings, Marion left-hander Blake Witt scattered six hits, struck out 13 and walked none while pitching a complete game, and B.J. Vaughn and Kyle Sherman led the offensive statistics with two hits each. The Rangers improved to 14-2 and 7-0. -

Bankers, Highwaymen win, lose road games
JONESBORO — Citizens Bank, Batesville's Junior American Legion team, rallied by Jonesboro Seams Sports Academy for a 7-6 in the opening game of a Zone 2 doubleheader here Thursday night.
The home team won 13-3 in the nightcap.
The Seams led 4-0 after three innings, but the Bankers struck for five runs in the fourth frame. Jacob Rawlings highlighted the surge with a 2-out, 3-run double. -
East football stars win with speedy defense
FAYETTEVILLE — Mostly, it was about defense here Thursday night at the Arkansas High School Coaches Association All-Star football game.
Helped along by Batesville Pioneers Matthew Showalter and Chance Rogers, the East All-Stars had the most defense. They won 32-3.
East Assistant Coach Larry Treadway, who now coaches at Walnut Ridge, but coached football for many years in Batesville's junior and senior high programs, said he saw evidence of that early in the week. -

ROCKVILLE, Md. — The Food and Drug Administration has expanded its warning to consumers and restaurateurs nationwide that a salmonellosis outbreak has been linked to the consumption of certain raw red plum, red Roma and red round tomatoes, and products containing these tomatoes.
The FDA recommends that consumers not eat raw red Roma, raw red plum, raw red round tomatoes, or products that contain these types of raw red tomatoes unless the tomatoes are from the sources listed on the FDA Web site. Consumers should continue to eat cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes and tomatoes sold with the vine still attached, or tomatoes grown at home.
The FDA published a list of states, territories and countries where tomatoes are grown and harvested which have not been associated with this outbreak. The list is available at www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/tomatoes.html#retailers, and will be updated as more information becomes available.
The FDA recommends that retailers, restaurateurs and food service operators not offer for sale and service raw red Roma, raw red plum and raw red round tomatoes unless they are from the sources listed above. Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes and tomatoes sold with the vine still attached, may continue to be offered from any source.
Since mid-April, there have been 145 reported cases of salmonellosis caused by Salmonella "Saintpaul" nationwide, including at least 23 hospitalizations. States reporting illnesses linked to the outbreak include: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. Salmonella Saintpaul is an uncommon type of Salmonella.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections particularly in young children, frail or elderly people and those with weakened immune systems. All Salmonella infections should be reported to state or local health authorities.

Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.
- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, SurflineI find Shop-Eat-Surf to be a very useful and informative site that I enjoy browsing daily. Shop-Eat-Surf is the first thing I look at every morning to keep up-to-date on the latest talk, events, and happenings in the industry. I must say I am a fan of Shop-Eat-Surf.

Press Release:
Quiksilver announced today that long-time marketing executive Randy Hild will be transitioning to a consulting part-time role with the company as he moves to form his own creative agency.
Hild, who most recently served as Executive Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for Quiksilver Americas and is best known for his many years as head of marketing for Roxy, kicked off his new venture on January 1st.
"Everyone knows what a great job Randy did with the Roxy brand and it will be exciting to watch him take his talent and experience to new creative projects here with Quiksilver," said Bob McKnight, CEO of Quiksilver, Inc. Although Hild's responsibilities will change, he will still be very closely associated with Quiksilver. McKnight confirmed that Hild has signed a long-term agreement with the company to consult on strategic partnerships and other marketing-related projects.
"While I'm excited about the opportunity to venture out to new creative arenas, I'm equally stoked to have an ongoing relationship with Quiksilver and their incredibly powerful action sports brands," said Hild.

This weekend, the 'nets were set ablaze by news that none other than Aubrey "Drake" Graham would be dropping a brand new mixtape. While No More Thank You's has yet to emerge, and appears to be an unofficial release, that hardly lessened the excitement over the project, which will reportedly feature a couple previously-unheard cuts along with material that had been floating around the web for some time. A member of the former category, this leak finds the artist reminding listeners that he can, indeed, Do It All. No one who listened to Thank Me Later should be surprised by the topics touched upon here – relationships, fame and fortune, weed, liquor, Drizzy's ambivalence in regard to all of the above… – but his delivery is as appealing as ever, and Rob Holladay's ethereal synth boardwork is as intricately-textured and musically adventurous as anything we've heard the Young Money megastar spit over. Here comes the big question: should Do It All have made the cut for Drake's debut full-length, or was the decision to leave it on the cutting-room floor the right one? Ready… set… debate!

Which fictional chefs (TV and movies) am I missing?

So in honor of the premiere of "Top Chef: New York" today, I had made this photo gallery of my favorite Top Chefs from the world of TV and movies. I stuck with strictly fictional once since the real world of the celebrity chef/cook was just too unwieldy for me!
And then my friend pointed out I had missed the titular chef from "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover"! Argh! I remember being so traumatized from that film that perhaps I blanked it out.
The remainder of my list seems okay though. I tried to stick with those whose main function or job in the story/entertainment.
Am I missing any other obvious ones?
Judy Graubart on the "Electric Company" did a wonderful parody of Julia Child --"Here's Cooking at You---with Julia Grownup"
There's also "The Anal Retentive Chef" from SNL

re: Davwud
Hop Sing was the cook on Bonanza and Private Igor was the poor cook on M*A*S*H. :-)
And even better - there's a cookbook with Private Igor's recipes - including cocktails - a must in any M*A*S*H cookbook!
Some sample recipe names:
* Hawkeye and Trapper's Swamp Spaghetti
* Winchester's Upper Crusted Chicken
* Hot Lips Tri-Tips
* Pork Choppers with Barbeque Sauce
* Stuffed Seoul
* Radar's Teddy Bear Turkey Loaf
* The Colonel's Kernel Stew
* Toasted Tank Tuna
* Hunnicut's Homesick Cookies
* Intravenous Drip Dip0-
re: LindaWhit
If they're including coctails, how do they not have Hawkeye and Trapper's Bathtub Gin Martini??
re: Davwud
Some really good folks on that list (esp. Lunch Lady Doris!). I think at a later date I'm going to have to refresh the gallery with all these great suggestions and repost it.
re: HungryHanh
I had forgotten LeBeau's first name so I googled it. I also didn't realize that before the war he was a chef. At least, his character was. I knew he cooked a lot on the show.

Yea I probably do.
I certainly had no intention of putting money on him even after seeing the odds. I think Cabellero could have done a better job and I certainly think he overlooked Litzau, but Litzau showed up to prove a point. That is always a recipe for disaster for a more highly thought of guy. Bravo to Litzau though because even so he still had to do it and he certainly deserved it. |

Also people shouldn't forget about his devastating knockout loss to Guerrero a few years ago, only to come back and get the biggest win of his career..
He deserves all the credit in the world. |

Re: its Star Trek IIIs 30th anniversary!
I hope it's not breaking any forum rules but I wrote a blog post about TSFS yesterday so I thought this might be an appropriate place to share it... http://www.monobrowze.co.uk/star-tre...ock-at-thirty/ On the discussion about stealing the Enterprise... On the way home from work today I discovered the soundtrack cd of TSFS was in the car so I popped it on. I pretty much went straight to Stealing the Enterprise and that in turn got me thinking about how hard or easy it would be to steal a Federation starship. (Hey, it was a long drive.) I decided that the two people who probably could pull it off were Kirk and Scotty. I'm reminded of a line from the extended edition of Wrath of Khan after Kirk uses the prefix code to lower the Reliant's shields. He says something like "we're only alive because I knew something about how these ships work that he didn't." Kirk changes the rules, he cheats. Scotty knows the shortcuts. They are in trusted positions. To use an IT metaphor if a trusted member of staff has powerful enough database access they can make the whole organisation grind to a halt, even if only for a few minutes. Anyway, happy birthday III! |

While Khan and his people dug their own graves, they would have remained alive on Ceti Alpha 5 had David not used protomatter. Without Genesis getting as far as it did, there would be no new planet for the USS Grissom to monitor. The Klingons wouldn't have had a reason to meet and destroy the science vessel, killing everyone aboard. David has the blood of well over a hundred people on his hands. Sure, Spock came back, but are the needs of the one really more important than all those dead people?

Re: its Star Trek IIIs 30th anniversary!
and "How many fingers am I holding up?" The combination of the situation, coupled with the fact that it was "too soon" made McCoy's reaction even more funny. The "Stealing the Enterprise" scene, as I've said before, is some of the best 10 minutes in all of Trek. You can see how really close this crew is. On the light side, the scene is always hilarious to me when you realize that Scotty, since the ship first started moving, spent the entire time trying to get the space doors open, and Kirk thinks he's just waiting for his order. The look of horror on both Kirk and McCoy's faces as they realize the doors are giving Scotty a hard time is priceless. Then when Sulu finally announces they've cleared the doors, and you see the ship outside the spacedock, and Kirk's got that determined look on his face, and you wanna pump your fist "f**k yeah." ** Edit to add: Refit 1701 is still the best looking Enterprise ever.

Its also the celebratory reconstruction of TOS after its operatic deconstruction in WOK. Maybe it does feel more like a two parter of the series rather than an epic film, but its one hell of a fun two parter. |

Then, there's the destruction of the 1701--visually, and the beautiful track A Fighting Chance to Live, and you have a worthy next chapter in the ST-TOS film series.

Hello, everybody:
I'm working on a project to publish some of my department's documentation to our enterprise WCMS. Our standards committee is struggling with creating basic design criteria such as formatting. For example, when should bold be used, etc. Reasonably, the committee has wondered if we're re-inventing the wheel.
Our audience is primarily end users (UNM faculty and students and some staff) mainly for web-based applications, but stand-alone apps come into it as well.
I was wondering if any of you know of style guides that address writing technical documentation, especially documentation that will appear on the web.
I've sent a similar messages out to specific folks and some lists, so I apologize for the repetition if you see this more than once.
Hey Greg,
If you belong to LinkedIn, here's a local group you can tap: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?about=&gid=2214390&trk=anet_...
And here's the Web site: http://www.stc-nm-kachina.org/
Hi, Leon:
I'll look into this. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
I've generally found that using the Wikipedia Style Guide covers a lot of possibilities:
Good stuff.
Hi, Steve:
Thanks for the lead!
Hi, Rob:
Yeah, a good resource.

Today, the U.S. DHS funds and organizes projects involving shipments into the three major U.S. ports: Seattle-Tacoma, Los Angeles/Long Beach and New York/New Jersey.
Other ports are rolling out technology, too, to secure entry ways into the U.S. Although Customs and Border Patrol uses large-scale x-ray and gamma ray machines and radiation detection devices to pre-screen cargo coming into this country, experts wonder if selling terminals to the United Arab Emeritus will put port security is at risk.
The Committee on Foreign Investment (CIFIUS), made up of several U.S. agencies approved the deal. It's chaired by the Department of Treasury and includes USTR, and the Departments of Commerce, State, Defense, Justice and Homeland Security. "Technology has moved so fast that the law needs brushing up," said Helen Bentley, a former Maryland congresswoman and port consultant. "CIFIUS was created approximately 18 years ago. How can you follow procedures that old?"
When CIFIUS receives notice of a proposed acquisition, it has 30 days to decide whether to undertake an investigation. If an investigation is undertaken, CIFIUS must make its formal report to the President within 45 days. The President then has 15 days to render a decision.
Chinese, Singapore and United Kingdom companies own U.S. port terminals. So, is the growing criticism about the deal to transfer control of several major U.S. port terminals from a British company to one owned by the Dubai government warranted?
"I don't have an answer, but it raises several questions that should be investigated further," said Erik Michielsen, director of RFID and M2M at ABI Research. "For people to red flag this sale and make a split yes or no decision is inappropriate. We need to look more closely at the international company to better understand how they will manage and regulate security domestically."

ENNIS, Texas (Sept. 16, 2010) – The DRAW auction at the 25th anniversary O'Reilly Super Start Batteries NHRA Fall Nationals, Sept. 23-26 is set to be worthy of a 25th anniversary celebration.
After all, DRAW is celebrating its 25th anniversary too. Some of the items up for bid are not only fit for a race fan, but any sports fan.
One of the items up for auction is a cover of Sports Illustrated signed by the USA gold-medal-winning bobsled team. This was signed during the March event in Charlotte.
How about a two-for-one item? Frank Pedregon's 2006 tribute to "Big Daddy" Don Garlits car is up for bid and it's signed by "Big Daddy" himself.
John Force has a few items that are signed and ready to be the featured item in any collection. There are also three different sets of collector cards including a series signed by crew chiefs and drivers.
DRAW is drag racing's charity that provides financial and emotional support to qualified individuals involved in a drag racing accident at a track. From 1985 through December 2009, DRAW provided $3,534,317 in financial assistance to 695 racing families in all categories. Since January 1, 2010, DRAW has provided $149,087 in aid and death benefits to drivers, crew members or their families.
DRAW holds two auctions every year – the Motorplex caps off every season.
"DRAW is a vitally important organization in the world of drag racing," Texas Motorplex owner Billy Meyer said. "DRAW is run by volunteers and benefits drag racing families in a time of need. I'm proud that we get to host an auction every year in our Champions Club facility.
"The auction raises money for a good cause, but the auction itself is always a great time. Fans and racers get to interact, have fun and help families who need it most."
