September 24 was officially celebrated as International Girl Child Day.
What happens when the little girl blossoms into a young woman? She has a career to follow, a home to tend, parents to care for,�kids to groom, hobbies to pursue�and a full life to lead.
Hence, one of the top priorities for every young woman today is good health,�so she can cope with all of life's challenges.�
Here's a�list of four things you must�do to stay healthy, strong and focused.
A power-packed diet
Lessen the risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer by reducing fat consumption and�increasing your intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.�
Though you don't need to worry about osteoporosis this early, you can always start on�the preventive measures.�Strengthen your bones through a good diet.
Boost your health with these�five 'wonder foods':
~�Skimmed milk: With all the goodness and calcium of milk minus the sinful fat, this one is perfect for weight watchers.
~�Yogurt: Another rich source of calcium. Moreover, the bacteria in the yogurt protects you from some intestinal infections too.~�Meat: Iron deficiency anaemia is extremely common in young women. Choose lean meat to load up on iron without loading up on the fat. Vegans can opt for�green leafy veggies.~�Beans, peas and lentils: Apart from vegetable protein, fibre, magnesium, zinc, copper and iron, these are high in folic acid as well. Folic acid significantly reduces the risk of neural tube defects in a developing foetus.~�Fruits: These are good sources of Vitamin C and fibre. An apple a day might actually keep the doctor away. You must also have�raisins, peaches and oranges. Bananas are a good source of potassium.
Expertspeak: Saroja Woruganti, a practicing dietician,�has some sound advice for young women. She says, "Most women need 1,000-1,200 milligrammes of calcium per day. Increase your intake of calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products and leafy green vegetables. Enhance your intake of iron and folic acid before you get pregnant. I advise women who are on a diet or have hectic lives to take a multivitamin multi-mineral supplement everyday but�this should not be considered a substitute to a complete diet."
Practise these fitness fundas
~ Incorporating more physical activity into your schedule will help you stay fit. For example, taking the stairs instead of the elevator can really burn those calories.
~ Watch your weight. Use a Body Mass Index calculator to check if you are within the limit for your age. ~ Joining�a gym can help if you are one of those who need motivation. Remember that only a combination of diet and exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight. Believe it or not, exercise is a big fatigue-buster too.
Expertspeak: Michelle Lane, a fitness expert with a Bangalore-based�gym,�says, "If your schedule is hectic and you get no gym time, you can still exercise in the comfort of your�home. Get weights of two to five kilogrammes and work on your arms while you are watching television or reading the newspaper. Better still, buy an aerobics video and do a 20 minute�workout every morning."
Destress your life
Every once in a while, put the brakes on and relax.��~�Eat chocolate: Chocolate has chemicals that can help reduce stress and calm you down. When you feel low, you could pop a couple of pieces; however, do not go overboard. Those added inches will only add to your stress.~�Get a soak: A warm water bath with scented oils can relieve your cares and let you drift off into sleep effortlessly. Aromatherapy is the way to go. If you do not have a tub, you could pour a few drops into your bucket of bath water. Lavender is your best bet. ~�Learn to say 'no': Do not take on more responsibility than you can handle. Too many commitments add to your stress levels.~ Get away: When all else fails, take a short vacation with your girlfriends where there is no boss to breathe down your neck, no crowded public transport to battle and, best of all,�no cooking and cleaning!
Expertspeak: Psychologist Dr Renu Ranade, who counsels�many young people with symptoms of depression, has this advice�to soothe frayed nerves, "Get at least six to eight hours of sleep each night. At work, surround yourself with pictures of family. Snapshots of happy moments can make you feel good when you have the blues. At the risk of sounding trite, I must say most women find that a haircut, a manicure, a pedicure or a facial can do wonders for their spirits. Yoga is a definite stressbuster."�
Keep a check on your health
~ A physical examination is a must every year.
~ If you are planning to get pregnant, make sure you stop your contraceptive pills a year in advance.
~ Cut down on smoking and drinking. Get help if you are not motivated enough. ~ When you visit your doctor, remember to discuss contraception and how to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases.
~ Use sunscreens with a Sun Protection Factor of at least 15 to protect against ultraviolet rays that can age your skin and cause skin cancer.
Expertspeak: "More than half of all pregnancies are unplanned. If you are sexually active and fertile, it is time to establish healthy habits in case you become pregnant. Only barrier contraception also offers a shield against sexually transmitted diseases.�Women who want to protect themselves from STDs must insist�their partners use a condom," says gynaecologist Dr Anjali Rajurkar from KEM Hospital, Mumbai.

Landfill now has compost available
Columbia's community compost can provide citizens with an alternative to commercial fertilizers and individual backyard compost piles.
According to Cynthia Mitchell, the landfill superintendent, individuals can buy up to a cubic yard of compost for $12 plus tax. Since July 1, 14 people have taken advantage of the compost, which comes primarily from yard waste, sawdust, drywall and cellulose casings.
Police: Man injured when friend drives over him
A Columbia man suffered extensive internal injuries when his girlfriend allegedly ran over him outside their home in north Columbia late Wednesday night, according to Columbia police.
The driver, Victoria Lynn Wampler, 47, of 1902 Cedar Cliff Drive faces charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action, police Sgt. Stephen Monticelli said in a news release. She remained in the Boone County Jail with bond set at $200,000.
Airport to give kids flying start
Look skyward on Saturday morning, and you might see some of Columbia's children being chauffeured across the horizon at 120 mph in a local pilot's private aircraft 2,500 to 3,000 feet above your rooftop.
A Day at the Columbia Regional Airport on Saturday will include free plane rides for children ages 8-17, seminars for pilots given by the Federal Aviation Administration and exhibits of small aircraft.
Senate candidate criticizes Bond on overtime revisions
Democratic candidate for U.S Senate Nancy Farmer visited Columbia to express disapproval with her opponent's stance on changes in federal law regarding overtime pay
Revisions in the federal Fair Labor Standards Act will take effect Monday. The revisions define the pay level and types of duties that qualify for overtime pay.
40-acre tract approved for homes
Citing concern that Columbia was "oozing to the south," the Planning and Zoning Commission approved one of two requests for new suburban neighborhoods south of the city.
The commission voted to recommend to the City Council a plan to rezone 40 acres south of Route K and the Cascades neighborhood for residential use and voluntary annexation into the city of Columbia.
Rios waives preliminary hearing
Murder suspect Steven Rios waived his right to a preliminary hearing Friday morning, while appearing in front of Associate Circuit Judge Christine Carpenter.
The case of the 27-year-old former Columbia police officer, who is charged with the murder of MU student Jesse Valencia on June 5, will proceed to circuit court for arraignment on Sept. 7.
Seniors question foreign medicine
Gloria Hay of Columbia doesn't know anyone who fills prescriptions in Canada. The retired professor of management at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and acting senator in the Missouri Silver Haired Legislature has no pharmaceutical coverage and pays for her medications out of pocket. But the idea of drug importation does not appeal to her.
"I have never considered such a thing," Hay said, echoing the predominant attitude among Columbia's seniors.
Gay activists to organize involvement
Near the corner of Again Street and West Boulevard, an upended "No on 2" sign rests against a wooden fence. Inside the house, Heidi Murphy helps paint her friend's entry.
The sign was up two days ago, she explains, but then the lawn mowers took it down. Gardeners also took down the sign in front of her house.
Studying Powerball winners pays off
Despite winning $25,000 in the Powerball lottery, George Clark of Columbia doesn't believe in luck.
Instead Clark has developed a system to winning the lottery. And so far, it's working for him.
Students unpack at halls
The corner of Hitt and Rollins streets looked like a cross between a garage sale and a weightlifting competition on Wednesday morning as MU residence halls opened their doors to students. Nervous parents stood guard over bags and boxes as students and volunteers lugged baggage to their new homes.
Cindy Konczak and Sheree Connor watched over a sizable mound of their sons' belongings at the entrance of Wolpers Hall. High school friends from St. Louis, Nick Konczak, 18, and Brennan Connor, 18, will room together during their freshman year.
Nifty gadgets hold court at state fair
If the soles of your sneakers have begun to separate from the rest of the shoe, you might want to step into the Varied Industries Building at the Missouri State Fair. Someone will offer to fix the problem — using aviation-strength glue from Germany.
Billed as "the last glue you'll ever need," this German marvel is just one of the nifty products on display at this year's fair.
Ride makes its debut at fair
The Techno Jump is making its Missouri debut this week at the state fair in Sedalia. Located in the middle of the Midway, the red, purple and orange jeweled creature has 14 flailing arms. At the end of each arm is a three-person seat. The arms spin in a circle and toss riders up and down at varied heights and speeds.
"It was awesome," said 17-year-old Wendy Dickey of Fayette. "But don't eat ice cream before you ride."
Church lends facilities for resource center
Carol Snively dreams of a resource center for Columbia's gay and lesbian community, with offices for staff and meeting rooms for local groups. For now, she'll settle for a remodeled elevator shaft.
After working out of their cars for nearly a year, the Center Project working group is set to move into a temporary office in a remodeled 10-by-12-foot elevator shaft at the Unitarian Universalist Church.
Catholics split on issue of abortion-rights vote
Jackie Cook-Eberle sports a purple button on her bag that reads "Abort Bush in the first term." As a Catholic who supports abortion rights, she disagrees with a recent statement made by Archbishop Raymond Burke of St. Louis.
"Catholics teach of love and compassion," Cook-Eberle said. "Burke's statement teaches of contempt and damnation."
New kindergarteners show their skills
They sit squirming in front of her, kicking feet that don't quite touch the ground, gazing in awe at walls covered with brightly colored pictures and letters of the alphabet. The woman across the table carefully asks her audience to name the letters in front of them. As they stare down at the paper with their faces twisting in concentration, the interrogator smiles when they don't know the answer.
"We'll learn that when you come to school," says Nancy Amelunke, a kindergarten teacher at Cedar Ridge Elementary School.
Lunches lure teens off campus
It's all about freedom for 16-year-old Taylor Morrow.
On days when the Hickman High School junior has a few extra dollars in his pocket, he and his friends spend their 40-minute lunch break not in the Hickman cafeteria, but at the Sonic or Subway a few hundred feet from the school doors.
Sheriff quiet on suspect's transfer
A Columbia man has sat in a Sedgwick County, Kan., jail cell since Aug. 9, and authorities will not say exactly when he will return to Boone County to face charges of kidnapping, first-degree burglary and second-degree assault.
The one thing the Boone County Sheriff's Department can say for certain is there are no remaining legal obstacles to his return.
City land to open to archers
Although the Columbia City Council approved an ordinance allowing archery hunting of deer on four city property sites, one expert said the only place you are likely to see a hunter is in the parking lot.
The council unanimously approved the measure Monday night amid the safety concerns of nearby nonhunters, particularly regarding the Grindstone Nature Area, a frequently visited park. John George of the Missouri Department of Conservation said deer hunting occurs far from trails and open areas.
Fair spotlights Columbia artists
The Missouri State Fair draws prize sheep, dairy cattle and swine from across the state to compete for ribbons, but a small building away from the livestock barns and the midway houses paintings, sculptures, and photographs from some of Missouri's top amateur and professional artists. Few towns are better represented than Columbia.
The Fine Arts Building spotlights artists from Columbia in four competitive divisions, including the Missouri 50 Exhibition, the top 50 pieces submitted to the Fair's Fine Arts Department.
Chainsaw sculptors keep crowd guessing
Standing side by side, Stacey Robinson and his son, Clint, start their chainsaws. Each approaches a chest-high log and begins carving.
Audience members stare, point and nudge each other.

Climate change in California
California has taken legislative steps towards reducing the possible effects of climate change by incentives and plans for clean cars, renewable energy, and stringent caps on big polluting industries.[1]
Scoping Plan[edit]
Development of the Scoping Plan is a central requirement of AB 32, that calls on California to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.[2]
The comprehensive approach includes both new and existing measures in every sector of California's economy.
It includes a series of proposals that would become law in 2012, with some measures going into effect two years earlier. The initiatives include implementing a cap-and-trade program on carbon dioxide emissions (that will be developed in conjunction with the Western Climate Initiative, to create a regional carbon market) that will require buildings and appliances to use less energy, oil companies to make cleaner fuels, and utilities to provide a third of their energy from renewable sources like wind, solar and geothermal power and proposes to expand and strengthen existing energy efficiency programs. The Plan will also encourage development of walkable cities with shorter commutes, high-speed rail as an alternative to air travel, and will require more hybrid vehicles to move goods and people, following the implementation of the California Clean Car law (the Pavley standards).[3]
Several additional initiatives and measures play important roles in reaching the required reductions under AB 32. These include:[2]
- full deployment of the Million Solar Roofs initiative.
- a high-speed rail.
- water-related energy efficiency measures; and
- a range of regulations to reduce emissions from trucks and from ships docked in California ports.
California has enacted climate change legislation & executive orders:[4]
- Assembly Bill (AB) 32- California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 - Pavley, Statutes of 2006, Chapter 488.
- Governor Schwarzenegger Executive Order S-3-05, June 1, 2005.
- Assembly Bill (AB) 1007, (Pavley, Chapter 371, Statutes of 2005) requires the California Energy Commission to prepare a state plan to increase the use of alternative fuels in California (Alternative Fuels Plan).
- Senate Bill (SB) 812 - Statutes of 2002, Chapter 423.
- SB 527 (October 2001).
- SB 1204 (2014): the bill establishes a fun that will technology for zero- and near-zero-emission trucks, buses and off-road vehicles.[5]
Similar laws[edit]
States with similar limits are: New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Maine, and New Jersey.
In 2006, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger expressed interest in California joining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative[6]
AB 1493[edit]
It is the successor bill to AB 1058, was enacted on July 22, 2002 by Governor Gray Davis and mandates that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) develop and implement greenhouse gas limits for vehicles beginning in model year 2009. Subsequently, as directed by AB 1493, the CARB on September 24, 2004 approved regulations limiting the amount of greenhouse gas that may be released from new passenger cars, SUVs and pickup trucks sold in California in model year 2009. The automotive industry has sued, claiming this is simply a way to impose gas mileage standards on automobiles—a field already preempted by federal rules. The case is working its way through the court system. The CARB staff's analysis has concluded that the new rules will result in savings for vehicle buyers through lower fuel expenses that will more than offset the increased initial costs of new vehicles. Critics claim that these will only work if serious reductions are made in automobile and truck sizes.
California standard uses grams per mile average CO2-equivalent value, which means that emissions of the various greenhouse gases are weighted to take into account their differing impact on climate change (i.e. maximum 323 g/mi (200 g/km) in 2009 and 205 g/mi (127 g/km) in 2016 for passenger cars).[7]
A federal district court ruled on 12 December 2007 that the state and federal laws could co-exist,[8] but on 19 December, the EPA denied California's request for the necessary waiver to implement its law, saying the local emissions had little effect on global warming, and that the conditions in California were not "compelling and extraordinary" as required by law.[9] California intends to sue the EPA to force reconsideration, given the precedent of Massachusetts v. EPA, which ruled that carbon dioxide was an air pollutant which EPA had authority to regulate.[10][11] Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and Washington are also interested in adopting California's automobile emissions standards.
AB 32[edit]
In September 2006, the California State Legislature passed AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006[12] with the goal of reducing man-made California greenhouse gas emissions (1.4% of global emissions in 2004[13]) back to 1990 emission levels by 2020. The legislation grants the Air Resource Board extraordinary powers to set policies, draw up regulations, lead the enforcement effort, levy fines and fees to finance it and punish violators. The technical and regulatory requirements are far reaching. Some of this sweeping regulation is being challenged in the courts.[citation needed] The law is intended to make low-carbon technology more attractive, and promote its adoption in production in California.
Alternative Fuel Vehicle Incentive Program[edit]
The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Incentive Program (abbreviated as AFVIP,[14] also known as Fueling Alternatives) is funded by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), offered throughout the State of California and administered by the California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE).[15] A total of $25 million [16] was appropriated to promote the use and production of vehicles capable of running on alternative fuels. Such alternative energy sources include Compressed Natural Gas and electricity via all-electric vehicles and Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV).[17][18]
Vehicles using alternative fuels include Global Electric Motorcars, Vectrix and ZAP vehicles. The 2008 Tesla Roadster and 2008 ZENN neighborhood electric vehicle are also on the list of vehicles eligible for rebates under the Fueling Alternatives.
PHEV Research Center[edit]
The PHEV Research Center was launched with fundings from the California Air Resources Board. Fueling Alternatives includes, among others, Global Electric Motorcars, Vectrix and ZAP vehicles. The 2008 Tesla Roadster and 2008 ZENN neighborhood electric vehicle have been added to the list of vehicles eligible for rebates under the Fueling Alternatives [13] .
Vehicle Global Warming Score Labels[edit]
California is making it mandatory for cars to be labeled with global warming scores, figures that take into account emissions from vehicle use and fuel production. The law requiring the labels goes into effect at the start of next year for all 2009 model cars, though its expected the labels will be popping up on cars in 2008.[19]
Extreme weather incidents[edit]
A 2011 study projected that the frequency and magnitude of both maximum and minimum temperatures would increase significantly as a result of global warming.[20]
According to the NOAA Drought Task Force report of 2014, drought is a natural and regular occurrence in California as a result of oceanic and atmospheric conditions, and not a result of climate change.[21]
By February 1, 2014, Felicia Marcus, the chairwoman of the State Water Resources Control Board, claimed the 2014 drought "is the most serious drought we've faced in modern times." Marcus argues that California needs to "conserve what little we have to use later in the year, or even in future years."[22] A 16-year study of how precipitation affects groundwater dependent vegetation was conducted and the results showed that the alkali meadow vegetation plant community is groundwater dependent, and that this characteristic buffers the system from the effects of drought. This means that certain plants are actually able to help prevent droughts, but can only do so if groundwater is maintained at a certain level. One of the reasons that the study was conducted was to ascertain whether the Owens Valley region of California could handle any practiced or proposed groundwater extraction. [23]
In February 2014, the California drought reached for the first time in the 54-year history of the State Water Project to shortages of water supplies. The California Department of Water Resources planned to reduce water allocations to farmland by 50%. California's 38 million residents experienced 13 consecutive months of drought. This is particularly an issue for the state's 44.7 billion dollar agricultural industry, which produces nearly half of all U.S.-grown fruits, nuts, and vegetables.[24] This is after the LADWP expected to increase the pumping of aquifers to about 1·36 ×10 8m3 a year (City of Los Angeles and County of Inyo 1991) but the United States Geological Survey(USGS) has reported that a sustainable pumping rate is a third lower, at around 8·64 ×10 7m³ a year (Danskin 1998).
According to NASA, tests published in January 2014 have shown that the twelve months prior to January 2014 were the driest on record, since record-keeping began in 1885.[25] In mid-May 2014, the US Drought Monitor analysis showed that 100% of California was already under "Severe Drought" or a higher level.[citation needed] The 2014 drought is considered the worst in 1,200 years.[26][27][28] As California received additional rainfall in December 2014, this was not expected to end California's drought, and trees were at risk due to weakened roots.[29][30] Experts also noted that due to the soil's extreme dryness and low groundwater levels, it would take significantly more rain–at least five more similar storms–to end the drought.[31][32] On December 18, it was revealed that almost all of the Exceptional Drought in Northern California had been reduced to Extreme Drought severity, as a result of the winter storms that brought rain to California during December.[33]

In Cold Blood
This is the focus of Elkins's Imperial Reckoning, which provides a painfully thorough catalogue of previously unknown atrocities by the British. Elkins, an assistant professor of history at Harvard, says she began her project expecting to tell a British success story. But after a decade combing through British archives and interviewing some 300 survivors of the war, she discovered that what had long been depicted as a laudable withdrawal and "rehabilitation" by the British was actually a cover-up of unimaginable proportions.
In 1952, a week after one of Mau Mau's more notorious strikes--the murder of a prominent chief by attackers dressed as policemen--the British declared a state of emergency and rounded up prominent Kikuyu leaders, including Jomo Kenyatta, who would later become Kenya's first president. Although Kenyatta was a widely respected leader of a moderate Kikuyu-led political party, the British deemed all Kikuyu suspect and so assumed Kenyatta was leading the Mau Mau revolt. His subsequent show trial and seven years' imprisonment removed a prominent voice of progressive reform and created a rallying symbol for the radicals' cause.
This was indicative of the course of the war. Instead of understanding Mau Mau as a radical movement among a population with legitimate political grievances, alarmed white settlers viewed each Mau Mau attack as a sign that an inhuman viciousness had seized the entire Kikuyu population. Their smiling servants had inexplicably become violent savages.
As the hysteria mounted after each attack, the British imposed harsher and harsher emergency measures. Thousands of suspected Kikuyu were rounded up, interrogated, beaten and humiliated, detained without charge, denied access to the evidence against them, convicted merely for suspected association with Mau Mau, and--since the British never declared the conflict a real war--denied the rights of prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions. Reports of abuse and human rights violations from the International Committee of the Red Cross were ignored, as were complaints from representatives of the opposition party in London.
It all sounds eerily familiar: The British colonial government believed it was under siege from "evil"--an incomprehensible force beyond its control. There were meager attempts to win the "hearts and minds" of the Kikuyu behind barbed wire. The renowned archeologist and ethnographer Louis Leakey insisted Mau Mau must "confess" their oath and take a counter-oath to cure them of its powers. But any real attempts at "rehabilitation" of Mau Mau were quickly overwhelmed by the deprivation and brutality employed to extract confessions.
Not surprisingly, the British actions only drove more into the Mau Mau fold. Under the banner of a state of emergency, the colonial administration imprisoned innocents and punished entire villages when terrified residents refused to testify against their neighbors. Fearful settlers fired their Kikuyu laborers and ejected squatting farmers. And the administration closed Kikuyu schools, leaving more newly idle and angry Kikuyu with nothing to do but join the rebels.

The play tells the story of Nick (John D'Aquino), the grandson of four Italian immigrants, who is climbing his way to the top of the ladder as an advertising executive in New York City. Despite his busy schedule, Nick finds time every Sunday to take the bus into Hoboken, New Jersey, to have dinner with his maternal grandparents, Frank and Aida (Arland Russell and Harriet Oser), and his paternal grandparents, Nunzio and Emma (Tom Troupe and Elayne Wilks). One Sunday, Nick announces that he has been awarded a promotion requiring him to move to Seattle and that he has decided to take it. This sets off a harebrained scheme on the part of his grandparents. In a desperate attempt to keep him from moving, they invite Caitlin (Lara MacGregor), the unmarried niece of Emma's canasta partner, to Sunday dinner, hoping that Nick will fall in love with her. An innovative plot is not this play's strength, although DiPietro does manage to throw in a couple of surprises and steer clear of a fairy-tale ending. This is quite an accomplishment, considering that the play is rather like a television sitcom.
Over the River and Through the Woods dramatizes a conflict to which almost any American can relate. Even if we are not the children or grandchildren of immigrants, we are the children and grandchildren of people whose values are very different from our own. This play explores the Italian version of the clash. The set, by Tim Bennett, could hardly be more working-class Italian-American -- an overstuffed couch with an afghan thrown across, statues of the Virgin Mary and Jesus with his Sacred Heart, a bad replica of Leonardo's Last Supper hanging over the dining room table. The set doesn't change, but a screen door and front-porch step on stage right give it some versatility and allow for private dialogues.
Nick must confront the deeply held belief that family is paramount and all decisions should be made accordingly. The drama is based on a paradox of traditional values versus contemporary standards. It is obvious to Nick that success does not lie in marrying at age 18, working in a factory to provide for his family, and spending his entire life with one person, as he explains to his grandparents when he loses his temper over their matchmaking scheme. "Today we do things different," he lectures them. "We don't marry at 18. We have careers and make money and then we pick and choose a person very carefully and we do it when we're good and ready!" Later, in a much different tone, he explains a long-distance relationship to his grandfather: "It's called a commuter relationship, Gramps, and it's very annoying."
DiPietro does not oversentimentalize -- no mean feat with one or more Italian-American grandparents on stage much of the time. He maintains the Italian flavor we expect (the cheek-pinching, the constant "You look hungry") without making it seem stereotypical. The script is filled with truly funny anecdotes from the grandparents' past and current lives. So often, older actors seem to be thrown into the scenario as cantankerous door mats, people for the other actors to pat on the head as they rush by. Or there's the serenely senile granny who sits in a corner rocking and sewing and occasionally doling out cookie-cutter wisdom to a clueless young person in crisis. Such is not the case with these refreshingly fully developed roles. These are not just any grandparents but Nick's grandparents, specific people with their own idiosyncrasies.
A talented and experienced troupe, the cast brings out the relationships among the four grandparents as well as the balance between the grandparents and Nick. The man-to-man talks Nick has with each grandfather, for example, help to modulate the stage activity from funny to relatively serious while enhancing the characters' individuality. The drama also has several freeze-frame moments when the action stops and one character delivers a monologue -- an excellent vehicle for Nick's dry, sarcastic humor. John D'Aquino's way of striking an almost catatonic pose, setting his jaw, and staring off at some fixed point in space is hilarious when juxtaposed with the foursome of enthusiastic, well-meaning, but annoying elders fluttering around him. In a show like this, the goal is not to go all the way over the top, and Nick's character is the anchor that keeps the play from becoming Italian slapstick. D'Aquino's deadpan responses and barely restrained anger allow the drama to move forward when it could have gotten stuck in a mire of lasagne, genuflection, neighborhood gossip, and tales of old Italy.

Claims that 'austerity has failed' are popular, especially in the Anglo-Saxon world. This column argues that this narrative is factually wrong and ignores the reasons underlying the Greek crisis. The worst move for Greece would be to return to its old ways. Greece needs to realise that things could actually become much worse than they are now, particularly if membership in the Eurozone cannot be assured. Instead of looking back, Greece needs to continue building a functioning state and a functioning market economy.

The US economy has strengthened considerably in recent years, presenting an opportunity to address the 40-year stagnation in incomes for the middle class. This column provides historical and international context for the key factors affecting middle-class incomes: productivity growth, labour force participation, and income inequality. It also outlines President Obama's approach to economic policies – what he terms "middle-class economics" – which is designed to improve all three.
Many observers blame austerity for much of the Eurozone's current economic woes. This column presents new evidence on how financial markets assess austerity. Cutting government consumption raises the sovereign default premium in the short run. However, austerity pays off in the long run.
Dishonesty is a pervasive and costly phenomenon. This column reports the results of a lab experiment in which parents had an opportunity to behave dishonestly. Parents cheated the most when the prize was for their child and their child was not present. Parents cheated little when their child was present, but were more likely to cheat in front of sons than in front of daughters. The latter finding may help to explain why women attach greater importance to moral norms and are more honest.
Greece has a problem with debt that must be addressed on way or the other. This column proposes a way to estimate a 'fair' level of fiscal consolidation in Greece. The author's central argument is that contagion risk made the Greek crisis worse by preventing early debt restructuring. If restructuring took place in 2010 instead of 2012, Greece's debt to GDP ratio would have been 30 percentage points lower today. To bring Greece's debt under 120% of GDP, it would be fair for Greece to run a 3% primary surplus over the next decade or two. This is less than the current target of 4.5% but still requires a significant effort.
Between June and December 2014, the Brent price of crude oil fell by 44%, resulting in one of the most dramatic declines in the price of oil in recent history. This column presents a new quantitative analysis of the market for crude oil. According to the model the authors use, around half of the decline ($27) was predictable using publicly available information. A part of this decline was due to a slowdown in global economic activity, but the major part came from supply and demand shocks in the oil market. Nevertheless, there are reasons to expect the decline in oil prices to end soon.
Housing played a major role in the Global Crisis, and some worry that the ultra-low interest rate environment is inflating new housing bubbles. Using 140 years of data from 14 advanced economies, this column provides a quantitative measure of the financial stability risks that stem from extended periods of ultra-low interest rates. The historical insights suggest that the potentially destabilising by-products of easy money must be taken seriously and weighed carefully against the stimulus benefits. Macroeconomic stabilisation policy has implications for financial stability, and vice versa. Resolving this dichotomy requires central banks greater use of macroprudential tools.
As developed economies have substituted away from manufacturing towards services, so too have developing countries – to an even greater extent. Such sectoral change may be premature for economies that never fully industrialised in the first place. This column presents evidence that countries with smaller manufacturing sectors substitute away from manufacturing to a larger extent, suggesting a trade channel through which falling international relative prices of manufacturing lead price-taking developing economies to substitute accordingly.
Fiscal consolidation is back at the top of the policy agenda. This column provides historical context by examining 91 episodes of fiscal consolidation in advanced and developing economies between 1945 and 2012. By focusing on cases in which the adjustment was necessary and desired in order to stabilise the debt-to-GDP ratio, the authors find larger average fiscal adjustments than previous studies. Most consolidation episodes resulted in stabilisation of the debt-to-GDP ratio, but at a new, higher level.
Greece and Europe as a whole are approaching a moment of truth on Greek debt. Posturing by both sides still gives the impression of a slow-moving train wreck that is only weeks away. This column proposes a 'New Deal for Greece' that might just avert the train wreck.
Creativity is assumed to be the mother of invention, but research testing whether this is the case is surprisingly rare. This column addresses this gap in the literature by assessing whether firms in creative industries in the UK are more innovative than firms outside creative industries. The authors also examine whether the location of creative-industry firms in creative cities – and the size of creative cities – matters for the innovative capacity of these firms.
Notwithstanding the progress made in the field of exchange rate economics, we still know very little of what drives major currencies. This column argues that the best that one can do is to assume that currencies move to gradually restore (relative) purchasing power parity. Contrary to widely held beliefs, this is in general a much better strategy than to just assume that the exchange rate behaves like a random walk.
There is no consensus among economists on the forces that drove the historical rise of US house prices and household debt that preceded the Global Crisis. In this column, the authors argue that the fundamental factor behind that boom was an increase in the supply of mortgage credit. This rise was brought about by the diffusion of securitisation and shadow banking, and by a surge in foreign capital inflows. The finding is based on a straightforward interpretation of four key macroeconomic developments between 2000 and 2006, provided by a simple general equilibrium model of housing and credit.
The proposed EU capital markets union aims to revitalise Europe's economy by creating efficient funding channels between providers of loanable funds and firms best placed to use them. This column argues that a successful union would deliver investment, innovation, and growth, but it depends on overcoming difficult regulatory challenges. A successful union would also change the nature of systemic risk in Europe.
Youth unemployment has been a problem in Europe for several decades, but some European countries have fared much better than others in recent years. This column summarises the policy lessons to be drawn from a new VoxEU.org eBook that compares the labour market experiences of different European countries and provides an early evaluation of the European Commission's Youth Guarantee scheme.
Search frictions are important for understanding the housing market volatility. This column shows not only that the optimal order of buying and selling depends on housing market conditions but that it also affects these conditions. This feedback leads to multiple equilibria and to fluctuations in transaction volume, average time on market, and house prices.
The negative effects of recessions are not limited to consumption. Among others, they could also be harmful to preferences and values. This column uses recent evidence from Russia to argue that recessions can result in a sizeable decrease in interpersonal trust. This effect is transient in places where the fall in trust is small. In these regions, trust snaps back to pre-crisis levels as GDP recovers. In the places where fall in trust is large, the effect is persistent. Even after a recovery, trust remains 10 percentage points below the pre-crisis level.
The problem of 'managerial myopia' – managers maximising short-term earnings at the expense of long-term investment – is well known. This column explores three elements that play a role in the problem: CEO compensation, shareholder structure, and information disclosure. Though all three practices are sometimes appropriate, they come with important costs that need to be considered by policymakers and practitioners.
Evidence of a decline in long-run growth is accumulating. However, many important questions remain unanswered. The analysis in column employs recent econometric techniques to provide an answer to some of the pertinent questions. The findings indicate that the weakness of the current recovery in the G7 is associated with a decline in the long-run growth rate of labour productivity.
The Great Recession has been characterised by an unprecedented decline in GDP, and unemployment rates remain above pre-Great Recession levels in many countries. This column argues that economic growth is a 'one size fits all' solution for the problem of unemployment, because the unemployment rates of different kinds of workers are strongly correlated within countries. That said, economic growth affects above all the position of young workers, and so benefits mostly those who need it the most.
Despite the consensus that growth alone does not need to lead to better social outcomes, a formal quantification of the quality of growth is still missing. This column seeks to bridge this gap by proposing a new quality of growth index that captures both the intrinsic nature and the social dimension of growth. This index could legitimately be part of the benchmarking tools for guiding policies toward more inclusive growth.
Many nations and corporations strive to raise female membership in decision-making bodies. This column discusses new experimental evidence suggesting that there is more lying (and more extreme lying) in male groups and mixed-gender groups than in female groups. Moreover, group decision-making exacerbates men's tendency to lie while the opposite is true for women. This suggests that the gender composition of decision-making bodies is important when the goal is to limit the scope of unethical behaviour.
Discrimination can be costly for both victims and perpetrators. This column uses the variation of historical Jewish persecution across German counties to proxy for localised distrust in financial markets. Persecution reduces the average stock market participation rate of households by 7.5%–12%. This striking effect is stable over time, across cohorts, and across education levels. The effect survives when comparing only geographically close counties. It suggests that the persecution of minorities may negatively affect societal wealth even far into the future through the channel of intergenerationally transmitted investment norms.
Racial wage discrimination can proliferate in labour markets with large frictions because workers facing discrimination find it difficult to relocate. This column presents evidence of the interaction between frictions and discrimination in the English Premier League, the top tier of English football, using the 1995 Bosman ruling as an exogenous shifter. Before the ruling, wage discrimination resulted in teams with more black players outperforming competitors with equivalent payrolls. The decrease in frictions associated with the ruling allows players to escape discrimination by relocating.
The interest rate derivatives market has grown tenfold over the past 15 years. These contracts are mostly held by commercial banks, raising financial stability concerns. This column discusses how hedging using derivatives affects bank lending and the occurrence of bank defaults.
There is no single replicable and comprehensive indicator of competitiveness that can be applied to various entities. In this column, the authors propose a novel decomposition of market share growth that captures non-price factors, such as quality or tastes. The findings imply that relying solely on price factors to determine a country's competiveness might be misleading. For instance, central for boosting China's presence in the global market were improvements in non-price factors. The role played by the exchange rate has been less important.
Since the Global Crisis, debt sustainability has received increasing attention. This column argues that the maximum sustainable debt level depends negatively on the progressivity of the tax system. The authors estimate that the US is still relatively far from the peak of its Laffer curve and from its maximally sustainable debt level. However, adopting a flat tax would raise the maximum sustainable debt from 330% to more than 350% of benchmark GDP, whereas adopting Danish-style progressivity would lower it to less than 250%.
The literature on fiscal multipliers has expanded greatly since the outbreak of the Global Crisis. This column reports on a meta-regression analysis of fiscal multipliers collected from a broad set of empirical reduced form models. Multiplier estimates are significantly higher during economic downturns. Spending multipliers exceed tax multipliers, especially during recessions. The authors estimate that the Eurozone's fiscal consolidation – most significantly transfer cuts – reduced GDP by 4.3% relative to the no-consolidation baseline in 2011, increasing to 7.7% in 2013.
Safe haven inflows to Switzerland during global turmoil have been mentioned numerous times by the financial press and international organisations. However, recent research cannot find evidence for surges of capital inflows to Switzerland. In fact, this column argues that private capital inflows to and outflows from Switzerland have become exceptionally muted and less volatile since the Crisis. By contrast, net private capital flows have shown significantly higher volatility since the Crisis, frequently registering extreme movements. However, these extreme movements in net flows are not driven by surges of inflows.
Piketty's justification for his proposed wealth tax relies on the notion that the rate of return on capital exceeds economic growth. This column challenges this basis, arguing that it fails to account for risk. The authors also examine the relative merits of a consumption tax, which may be more valid.
It has been debated whether taxpayers would have to foot the bill from different ECB government bonds purchase programmes. This column argues that for the participants of such programmes that involve the mutualisation of interest revenues, there is no free lunch.
China and the US have recently agreed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This column asks what quantifiable impact the new targets will have, whether they are any better than previous approaches, and if so, whether they are enough to avoid dangerous climate change. While insufficient for keeping temperature increase below the 2°C limit, the US and China's bilateral commitments are a step in the right direction, and form the basis for a stronger international agreement in Paris later this year.
The large international imbalances accumulated in the Eurozone have proven difficult to unwind during the recent Crisis. This column argues that market reforms had a role in generating current account imbalances, and that patterns of relative labour market regulation could be equally important in the aftermath of the Crisis.
There is a debate among economists about the effects of serfdom on economic development. This column sheds light on this debate using novel dataset from 19th-century Russia. The findings indicate that serfdom was a crucial factor causing economic slowdown. The abolishment of serfdom was followed by a sharp increase in agricultural productivity, the living standards of peasants, and industrial development.
A minor adverse shock to financial markets can be propagated by liquidity strains, leading to a major crisis. This column suggests a novel measure to address systemic liquidity risk – a Macroprudential Liquidity Buffer, which would require financial institutions to hold systemically liquid assets in proportion to their liabilities less regulatory capital. This proportion varies positively with growth in system-wide funding needs, so the liquidity buffer increases when non-equity funding is growing.
The Global Crisis put to the fore the possibility that the relationship between financial development and output growth may be non-linear. This column presents new evidence on the issue using data on output growth of ten sectors from Latin America and East Asia. The authors find large differences between the two regions in terms of the impact of financial depth on sectoral growth, and validate the negative impact of financial deepening on output growth in several sectors. The results confirm that the impact of financial development on sectoral growth may indeed be non-linear – i.e. it may promote growth only up to a point.
The cost of delaying climate action has been studied extensively. This column discusses new findings based on a meta-analysis of published model runs. A one-decade delay in addressing climate change would lead to about a 40% increase in the net present value cost of addressing climate change. If anything, the methodology used in this analysis could understate the cost of delay. Uncertainty and the possibility of tipping points provide a motivation for more action as a form of insurance against worse outcomes.
The corporate cash ratio – the share of liquid assets in total assets – comoves with employment in the US. This column argues that disentangling liquidity shocks and credit shocks is key to understanding this comovement, and that liquidity shocks appear to be crucial. These shocks make production less attractive or more difficult to finance, while they also generate a need for internal liquidity to pay wages, which can be satisfied by holding more cash.
The ECB has finally begun releasing the minutes of its policymaking meetings, something the world's major central banks have been doing since the 1990s. This column asks whether the publication of these minutes increases ECB transparency. While providing useful information on analysis at the ECB, the minutes lack the details on the actual discussions and the voting behaviour of committee members that the minutes of the Fed, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan provide. They thus constitute just the first step, albeit a very welcome one, towards ECB transparency.
Recessions can lead to an increase in youth unemployment, which could later negatively affect labour market outcomes. This column explores the effect of recessions on criminal activity. The findings indicate a substantial effect on initiating and forming youth careers. There is initially strong and eventually long-lasting detrimental effect of entering the labour market during a recession for individuals at the threshold of criminal activity. These effects are economically substantial and potentially more disturbing than short-run effects.
Despite vast improvements in information and communications technology, the tendency of firms in related industries to cluster together hardly changed between 1985 and 2005. This column examines the relationship between geographic clustering and innovation using establishment-level data from Japan. Research establishments – especially those in high-technology industries – are more localised than average. The degree of localisation is greater when establishments are weighted by their creativity, as measured by the number of patents created and the number of citations received.
In an uncertain world, fiscal policy must be robust to a range of models. This column introduces a rule of thumb governing fiscal expansion that is consistent for a group of countries, and for each country individually. Applying this rule to the Eurozone recommends overall fiscal neutrality, with moderate consolidation in France and Spain, lower consolidation in Italy, and moderate stimulus in Germany. This policy is optimal for Germany even without taking into account positive spillovers to other members.
Since September 2013 China has been operating a new form of free trade zone based in a small area of Shanghai. This column describes the implied new trade and investment policies in detail and concludes that the new special zone is likely to be a first step towards a floating exchange rate, free capital account and independent monetary policy.
There were 24 sovereign defaults and debt restructurings between 1997 and 2013. Using data on 180 debt restructurings – for both sovereign bonds and sovereign syndicated bank loans – this column argues that the roughly 75% 'haircut' Argentina imposed on its creditors in 2005 was an outlier. Greece's 'haircut' of roughly 64% in 2012, by contrast, was in line with previous experience.
Workers who suffer job displacement experience surprisingly large and persistent earnings losses. However, standard labour market models fail to explain such a phenomenon. This column explains the persistence of workers' earnings losses by arguing that displaced workers face higher separation probabilities in new jobs, and take substantial time to find their ideal job. The framework also matches empirical findings on the shares of average earnings losses following displacement that are due to reduced employment and lower wages.
This column introduces a new Vox eBook collecting some of the best Vox columns on financial regulations, starting with the fundamentals of financial regulations, moving on to bank capital and the Basel regulations, and finishing with the wider considerations of the regulatory agenda and the political dimension. Collecting columns from over the past six years, this eBook maps the evolution of leading thought on banking regulation.
The ongoing, synchronised disinflation across Europe raises the question of whether non-Eurozone EU countries are affected by the undershooting of the Eurozone inflation target, by other global factors, or by synchronised domestic, real sector developments. This column argues that falling world food and energy prices have been the main disinflationary driver. However, countries with more rigid exchange-rate regimes and/or higher shares of foreign value added in domestic demand have also been affected by disinflationary spillovers from the Eurozone.
The hypothesis that family firms are good for growth has come under scrutiny in recent years. This paper presents novel evidence on fundamental differences in behaviour between family and professional CEOs. Family managers tend to work at least 9% less than non-family ones, which is driven by their preferences for leisure and work. Family CEOs are typically wealthier and thus increase their consumption of leisure, which is a normal good. However, this behaviour may have adverse effects on family owned firms since hours worked by CEOs are strongly related with productivity. Given the ubiquity of family-run firms, this can impact the entire economy.
Trillions of dollars' worth of transactions depend on financial benchmarks such as LIBOR, but recent scandals have called their reliability into question. This column argues that reliable benchmarks reduce informational asymmetries between customers and dealers, thereby increasing the volume of socially beneficial trades. Indeed, the increase in trading volume may offset the reduction in profit margins, giving dealers who can coordinate an incentive to introduce benchmarks. The authors argue that benchmarks deserve strong and well-coordinated support by regulators around the world.
The European Commission has clarified the flexibility in existing Eurozone fiscal rules. This column argues that the emphasis on structural rather than headline deficits is desirable but requires identification of potential growth rates. The way the Commission currently estimates potential output yields potential growth estimates that are very low. Thus, a year of modest expected growth like 2015 may be treated as a year of economic boom that requires faster than normal fiscal adjustments.

Good, but not for everyone
I know that this was one of those epic comic storylines of the 90s. And on its face, it's a good story - war is about to break out between the generations of superhumans and everyone, super and regular, will suffer for it. Will the older generation of heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman...
I know that this was one of those epic comic storylines of the 90s. And on its face, it's a good story - war is about to break out between the generations of superhumans and everyone, super and regular, will suffer for it. Will the older generation of heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman abandon their morals to stop their children and grandchildren, who have little regard for human life? And on the other side, we have mortals like Batman (who is not aging well - but who ever expects Batman to age well?) and Lex Luthor and his most unfortunately named organization, the Mankind Liberation Front, or MLF. I swear, I could not read that abbreviation without thinking "MILF" and wondering if that had not crossed Mark Waid's mind. Anyways, these men seek to protect humanity, though for very different reasons. And then there's Captain Marvel/Billy Batson, caught in the middle of it all.
So yes, it's a good end-of-the-world story. But it just didn't appeal to me. The artwork is incredible. That's probably the biggest selling point for this story. But I felt like I was reading a "Who's Who" of DC heroes and villains, which became so dizzying that I couldn't keep characters straight and I really didn't care. In the back of the compilation, there's a chart of 105 of the heroes/villains, and many of their names end with the numbers 2 or 3. Despite the plethora of characters, the focus is mainly on Superman, with supporting roles from Wonder Woman and Batman. Several of the heroes I recognized (which didn't feel like many... go go Wesley Dodds) looked like they'd have interesting stories to tell and opinions to contribute... but they hardly utter a word. Which brings me to my biggest gripe - Captain Marvel/Billy is the character that this whole story hinges on. He is both mortal and superhuman. His mental state is less than whole, and he's the only person capable of matching Superman's powers. But he gets so little attention for such a pivotal character! Plus, I have a little trouble getting invested in a scene where the key word is Shazam. I guess it's just a sign of the times.

Back on topic. Hopefully it's just a loose connection. I bounced mine a bit heavily last week, still seem fine though. |

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1614674 If so, was that your only Spitfire? Is that why you sold it due to your comments above? I have had the total Opposite Experience. Not to compare it with any other model but, in any wind my Spitfire does what it does like it is on Rails. No where does it exhibit any issues with being tossed around. Even with windy and at time turbulent conditions, I allow the model to come in with no power while keeping that nose down and it flares majestically with no issues. Airspeed is your friend. |

Yup that and the fact that it's a lot bigger than the micro mustang,but the rolls still seem slow,much slower than the sim one on Phoenix....which I a well used to.....on the upside though, the real plane is a lot easier to land than the one in Phoenix.....it came down where I wanted and not 100 past me....ha,ha...

Explain why then proficient thunderbolt pilots are not having the same experience with their spits. I'm not dissing the spitfire. I'm just saying there's a reason the spitfire is more likely to bite you than the jug. There is more than one factor. Drag, tail size, wing shape, and wing location in the fuse. Like said earlier one was extremely agile while the other a stable tank. I was merely trying to lend some sense to a fellow who after flying the jug was not happy with his experience flying the spitfire. They're different, hence fly different even though they are nearly identical in weight and size.

In general, I don't believe that low drag amplifies the effects of turbulence. If you do, maybe you could share your sources? This area of aerodynamics (the relationship between drag and turbulence) isn't one I'm all that familiar with, so I would be grateful for any info you can offer. |

Okay I am the one that made the first comment and quickly dropped it because evidently it is a hot topic. The conditions were gusty winds with a steady 8-10mph wind from the north. Spitfire stock from tthe box with 2200mah battery. P47 has retracts, flaps, Power25, and 2650mah battery. Did not weight them but the P47 is noticeably heavier both with and without battery.
Both planes were flown back to back to back to back to back. P47 was flown three times with the Spitfire flown twice. On the same day in the same conditions. The P47 was like a laser slicing threw the turbelent air just fine with little turbelent air induced movement. The Spitfire was being thrown around a bit, with some wieght from a bigger battery, retracts, and flaps she should calm down some. I will keep the Spitfire but it will never be flown as much as my Jug. If anyone is looking for a step up plane from a trainer to a warbird, the P47 is hands down above the Spitfire. However, I am not a beginner and would classify myself as an intermediate pilot. If you have never flown both planes then I don't think you can comment on what causes what, one is theory and the other is first hand experience. Not being mean at all, just trying to state some basic facts. Right there with you RyramZ. |

I had another couple of flights with my Spit today. I am getting better even if I say so. I had a problem getting it to roll as it kept tipping onto the nose. I then found a smoother bit of shorter grass, and full throttle back on the stick to keep the tail down and off it went.
I start with full rate on the elevator and when it gets off the ground, switch to 50% as I have my ailerons. My landings are good, but still tips on the last bit of the roll. When they cut the grass on the cricket pitch that I use, I know it will be better. My mate says he has a strip of thick polythene that he will give me and I will try this as the take off roll. |

Competitors pull out all the stops
SAN ANGELO, Texas - It is now-or-never time for competitors in the 82nd Annual San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo and several cowboys put themselves in good position to return to the finals with good rides Wednesday night.
Former world champions Wesley Silcox, Clay Tryan and Jade Corkill all came through with round-winning performances and set themselves up for a shot at the short round Friday night.
A six-time NFR qualifier and 2007 world champion, Silcox took the bull riding with an 83 on the last ride of the night. That moved him into fourth place all around and sets him up for another ride Friday.
"That was a good bull, Sandi's Dream. I saw him a lot last summer and I saw him a couple of times this summer so I knew he was going to be right there around to the left or one or two around to the right," Silcox said. "He kind of got me at the end. I kind of quit riding. Got a little lazy, but I got the whistle."
Just four points behind the leaders, Silcox knows that one good ride could vault him to yet another championship.
"Every time there is a short round you are looking forward to being in it," said Silcox. "Hopefully I will get another one covered Friday and I will get a win. San Antonio was good last week, so hopefully I will get on a roll here."
Tryan and Corkill, the reigning world champions in team roping also took first place in Wednesday's round in a time of 4.6. That puts them in good position to make Friday's short round, provided they can post another good time tonight.
Also looking good for advancement are Zane Dishion and Bucky Campbell who finished second with a 4.7 and the team of Shane Sproul and Kinney Harrell with 4.8. Troy James, from Phoenix, placed second on Bad Wine and he, too, seems assured to return Friday. Mike Lee placed third with a 74.
Ty Lang took the steer wrestling round with a 6-second run and he is now in position to return for the short round with another solid run Thursday.
"It was a really good steer and I probably should have rode up in there another couple of strides. That would have made it work a lot better," Lang said. "I got by on this one and hopefully it will get me another one Friday.
"With these fresher, bigger steers a guy just doesn't want to break the barrier and go out there and make a good run. Two solid runs should be good enough to get you back to the short round. A solid four should get you back to the short round."
It was a competitive barrel racing round as eight riders broke the 15-second mark. Fort Hancock's Jana Bean won the round with a 14.58-second run, the third fastest run of the entire rodeo. Rebecca Hughes took second in 14.66, just one one-hundredth of a second faster than the third-place time of Kenna Squires.
New Mexico cowboy Linden Woods and Idaho's Tyler Nelson tied for first in the bareback competition with 79-point rides. They are on the bubble whether they will make Friday's short round.
The only other successful ride was by David Peebles with a 72.
Tyrell Smith won the saddle bronc round with a 79-point ride on Field Mouse.
"That horse tonight was fun to get on," Smith said. "He had a few wobbles in there that I wasn't aware of, but he is a nice little horse. My friends have been on him and they said he was a nice horse so I was pretty happy to get on him."
Smith struggled a little last year with injuries, but he recently made a change that he hopes will bring him back to the top of his sport.
"I jumped back into my old saddle that I made the NFR on in 2012," said Smith. "I was kind of fighting my old one. I tried it last year a little bit until I got hurt and this winter it was starting to look the same way, so I went back to my old one.
"It's like night and day. It's been a lot better. When I get decent horses I have been riding good."
His score has him tied for seventh place overall with just one more round to go. Since the top 12 scores advance to the short round, Smith seems likely to return Friday.
"It would be pretty nice to come back and get on another one," he said. "With any luck I might be able to draw Lunatic Fringe."
Jesse Kruse, the 2009 World Champion, took second in the round with a 74 and Max Filippini tied for third with Ryan MacKenzie the round with 72 points each.
Matt Shizowa took the tie down round with an 8.0 run. Second place went to Seth Hopper with 8.4 and Spence Barney finished third with a 9.0. They all stand a chance to make the finals if they can put together another good run.
The rodeo continues at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

60,000 Iranians afflicted with AIDS/HIV
Some 60,000 Iranians are afflicted with AIDS/HIV, which is ten times the average global figure, said Deputy Minister of Health for Research Affairs Hossein Malek-Afzali on Monday.
Afzali, however, added that Iran is now in a better position in terms of containing AIDS. Young population, economic and social problems and industrialization are among the factors responsible for the rapid rate of AIDS contraction, he noted, according to IRNA.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
When testing my site, you can add to cart from the category grid view, but once you click on 'product view', if you click the 'add to cart' button, regardless of quantity, nothing happens. It's like the button is not active, but just an image. The page doesn't refresh, the cart doesn't get updated. Nothing happens.
I'm using a theme that uses the 'base' theme for all important functions, so changing the cart.phtml of my theme doesn't apply. My theme doesn't have it's own cart.phtml.
Also, the wishlist link doesn't do anything if you click it. When I hover on the wishlist link I do see a valid link show up (https://babasoasis.com/wishlist/index/add/product/455/form_key/EG7yUoS7KiJMTtlc/), but when I click it nothing happens.
As I mentioned, any fix I have found suggests to change something in my theme, but my theme doesn't use it's own files for major functions, it uses the 'base' theme files already found in the core Magento.
I never had a need to change my 'base' theme files, so they are the same original files included in the original (1.7.2) installation package. Once I upgraded to 1.8, then 1.8.1, things just stopped working like they should (eg. buttons and links not working).
http://babasoasis.com is the website...everything is live for testing, except I have authorize.net direct post is still in testing mode.
Thanks for any help!
I fixed this problem by disabling 3 different extensions I added:
Intell Color Swatcher TM Custom Menu TM Easy Tabs
Apparently, there is some conflict, I suspect it being the Color Swatcher extension. I realized color swatching is less important than people not being able to shop at all. After I disabled or uninstalled these 3 extensions, all my links and buttons now work perfectly!!!!
I hope this helps anyone else!

...aaaaand now the heart-on-the-right-side convention is CANON.
I'd like to chime in that there are a lot of people (me included and a lot of the players) who enjoy the stylized depictions of characters in the LoL splash arts. We accept that artistic license is taken to give the characters a "larger than life" feel and like the energy or motion that comes through with these depictions.
Junior Member
In case someone hasn't already asked, how can we get higher quality splash photos? I get that they are big and you don't want to make the client huge for those that don't want it, but can't you make them available for those of us with big screens? Or am I wrong and the artwork so hard to scale up? (I'm sure this has come up time and again, but search option sucks and I can't find an answer) An official answer on when I can expect a splash visual upgrade would be awesome
Oh sure, lets take pose inspiration from comics. Heres a exemple of "comic anatomy" Now a actual person doing the same, comfy huh? sure, I can totally relax like that on my couch for hours. thats how i sit now, dont judge me. "For most of their existence, comic books audiences have been assumed to be mostly male. The female characters and superheroes were targeted towards this male demographic, rather than towards women readers.[15] Although many female superheroes were created, very few starred in their own series or achieved stand-alone success outside straightforward erotic works. It has been debated whether the perceived lack of female readership was due to male writers being uncomfortable with writing about or for women, or whether the comic book industry is male dominated due to actual lack of women's interest in comics. The use of women as plot devices, whose main function is to prompt the hero into action as a defender or in seeking revenge, has been criticized." source. Now even if the male demographic is the majority in LOL, they are not the same audience as comic book readers. The reason i think LOL female champions should not be portrayed the same way of a comic book heroine, is because they are not a sidekick/feminine version to a male hero( aka Supergirl, Shehulk, Batgirl), they are protagonists, so why would you draw protagonists in a comic book pose where the only purpose is to look sexy(and i mean comic book sexy: big boobs, no waist, no spine) instead of awesome/badass? Im sorry for the long post and if i sounded aggressive it was not my intention, im just passionate about the art and the game <3
I think he forgot... or just got intimidated, for what I couldn't blame him considering the approach of some of these posts.
I have questions as to why your art team is slow insanely slow. I have a thread that was on GD asking the question, that is now in this forum: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com...1#post45379789 "How much time is spent making ONE splash art? For one person, 3-4 weeks depending on the artist." Do you realize what an absurdly huge amount of time this is? Also, you don't release fast enough for this to be true. "has grown to about 8 artists" you would be releasing 8 or more splashes per month. You know what, this sounds familiar, I think somebody talked about this in particular in the thread!
Any news on Akali?
