HELLO OLD FOES UTAH STATE IN THE DEE GLEN SMITH SPECTRUM LOOKING AT UTAH STATE Utah State is hitting .221, averaging 11.96 kills per set. USU also averages 11.21 assists per set, while serving up 1.17 aces per set. On the defensive side of the net, the Aggies post 2.42 blocks per set, holding the opponents to a .191 hitting percentage, and USU is also averaging 14.08 digs per set.

Outside hitter Kaylie Kamalu (Kaysville, Utah) played in a set in each of the Northern Iowa and Fairfield matches, logging a solo block against Northern Iowa and a dig versus Fairfield.

For the weekend, Orr notched a .257 attack percentage (57-21-140) in the Aggies' three matches. Orr tied her career-high for the second-straight match with 19 kills in USU's loss to Wichita State on Friday, then topped that with a new career-high 20 kills against Pacific Saturday morning, including 14 in last three sets, spearheading USU's rally from down two sets to none to beat the Tigers in five sets.

For the week, Orr hit .257 (57-21-140) with 4.07 kills, 2.21 digs, 0.71 blocks and 0.21 aces per set. It was her third career tournament honor and second in as many weeks.

Amanda Seyfried at Lovelace Sundance Premiere Pictures
Amanda Seyfried & Peter Sarsgaard Make a Sundance Splash with Lovelace
Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard joined the rest of their cast for the highly anticipated Sundance Film Festival premiere of Lovelace last night. The movie, about famous porn actress Linda Lovelace, has been making headlines ever since casting and is already getting good buzz after its debut. Just hours after Lovelace screened to its first audiences, it had reportedly already nabbed a distribution deal with RADiUS-TWC. On the red carpet, Amanda spoke about having no reservations about taking on the risqué role, which she took on back to back with Les Misérables. Elsewhere at Sundance, Peter had a family reunion with brother-in-law Jake Gyllenhaal and mother-in-law Naomi Foner, who directed Very Good Girls, which was also at the festival. Peter and Jake joined Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen for a celebration of all of their films.

The U.S. Geological Survey launched a beta version of its new website March 19 that combines modern design and improved access to scientific information for users to explore from any device.
The new site is part of a two-year effort to ensure that consistent navigation, a positive user experience and mobile-friendly design become prominent fixtures in the agency's Web presence. Those features had taken a backseat as its Web presence grew after the original site's launch in 1994. Since then, the site has been packed with new science research, tools and applications, but it was not particularly easy to navigate.
"Over the past two years, we've been working diligently to build an effort focused on improving our web presence to improve customer service, usability and easy access to our science," USGS Social Media Lead Scott Horvath wrote in a blog post. "We've listened to and analyzed customer feedback over the years and have baked that in from the beginning of this effort. In addition, we're embracing new directions in federal web management such as the Digital Government Strategy, mobile first, domain consolidation, content management tools and more."
Horvath said the beta site is just the tip of the iceberg, and a simplified design, mobile-responsiveness, improved navigation and search capabilities, and an enhanced user experience are still to come, likely by May or June. The beta site should be up for at least 30 days in HTML5, Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript, while the full rollout will be in the open-source content management framework Drupal.
Until then, some links from the beta site might direct visitors to the current USGS site.
Horvath said the agency wants as much feedback as possible from desktop and mobile users. To leave comments, go to the beta site and click on the "Send Feedback" button at the bottom right of the page.

The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Carrie Halperin, Jordan Mazza, Jayce Henderson and Will Cantine
ABC News' Michael Falcone and Arlette Saenz: "Government Shuts Down After Lawmakers Fail to Agree on Funding Bill" After an all-day game of legislative ping pong that stretched into the early morning hours of Tuesday, Democrats and Republicans failed to reach an agreement on how to keep the government funded, forcing the country into its first government shutdown in nearly two decades. Congress engaged in a game of political hot potato over the past few days as House Republicans have tried to tie the defunding or delay of Obamacare to the government funding bill, and Senate Democrats have insisted they will only accept a clean continuing resolution. LINK
Bloomberg's Roxana Tiron, Richard Rubin & Kathleen Hunter: "Government Shutdown Begins As Deadlocked Congress Flails" The U.S. government began a partial shutdown at midnight for the first time in 17 years, putting as many as 800,000 federal employees out of work today, closing national parks and halting some government services after Congress failed to break a partisan deadlock. No further negotiations were immediately planned, raising concerns among some lawmakers that the shutdown could bleed into a fight economists consider even more consequential: how to raise the nation's debt limit to avoid a first-ever default after Oct. 17. LINK
Boston Globe's Noah Bierman and Mattias Gugel: "Shutdown begins as lawmakers miss midnight deadline" Government services ground to a halt early Tuesday as lawmakers, ensnared in an ideological standoff, failed to prevent a shutdown that nearly all of them said they wanted to avoid. The first federal shutdown in 17 years will put 800,000 workers on furlough when the workday begins Tuesday. National parks and many federal offices will close. The length of the shutdown was uncertain. LINK
The Washington Times' Stephen Dinan: "Government shutdown begins as gridlocked Congress gives up" Congress adjourned early Tuesday morning without renewing funding for the federal government and the White House issued orders beginning the grim task of shutting down "nonessential" services across the nation. Senators gave up first, adjourning soon after midnight, while House lawmakers stuck it out past 1 a.m. But with a middle ground proving elusive and senators refusing to negotiate, they too gave up and vowed to try again later in the day. LINK
The Hill's Russell Berman: "Government shuts down as lawmakers miss funding deadline" Congress missed a midnight deadline to avert a shutdown of the federal government, as the Republican-led House and the Democratic-led Senate battled through the night on legislation to keep the lights on. National parks and museums were set to shutter Tuesday morning, and hundreds of thousands of federal employees will stay home on furlough with no financing in place at the start of a new fiscal year.LINK
The New York Times' Jonathan Weisman and Jeremy W. Peters: "Government Shutdown In Impasse" A flurry of last-minute moves by the House, Senate and White House late Monday failed to break a bitter budget standoff over President Obama's health care law, setting in motion the first government shutdown in nearly two decades. The impasse meant that 800,000 federal workers were to be furloughed and more than a million others would be asked to work without pay. LINK
The New York Times' Ashley Parker: "Conservatives With A Cause: 'We're Right'" Senator Claire McCaskill, Democrat of Missouri, was the first to take to the Senate floor to publicly pose a question gnawing at an increasing number of lawmakers and ordinary citizens alike as the deadline for a government shutdown neared: Has Congress gone completely crazy? "It's very hard from a distance to figure out who has lost their minds," said Ms. McCaskill immediately after the Senate on Monday rejected a Republican plan to not finance the government unless Democrats agreed to delay the new health law. "One party, the other party, all of us, the president." LINK
The Washington Post's Lori Montgomery and Paul Kane: "Shutdown Begins: House Officials Say No More Funding Votes Tonight" The U.S. government began to shut down for the first time in 17 years early Tuesday, after a Congress bitterly divided over President Obama's signature health-care initiative failed to reach agreement to fund federal agencies. Hours before a midnight deadline, the Republican House passed its third proposal in two weeks to fund the government for a matter of weeks. Like the previous plans, the new one sought to undermine the Affordable Care Act, this time by delaying enforcement of the "individual mandate," a cornerstone of the law that requires all Americans to obtain health insurance. LINK
The Washington Post's Dan Balz: "Shutdown Stalemate Shows Larger GOP Dilemma: How To Be A Governing Party" Amid all the maneuvering and hand-wringing ahead of the government shutdown, one thing remained clear: House Republicans are continuing to grapple unsuccessfully with what it means to be a governing party. Whatever happens with the crisis in the coming days will not resolve a contradiction that has bedeviled Republicans in the two decades since they swept to power in the House after 40 years in the minority. The GOP won the majority in 1994 and was returned to power in 2010 on a wave of antigovernment sentiment. In the majority, Republicans have often been stymied by the need to produce compromises while satisfying that part of their base that considers compromise as selling out principles. LINK
Politico's Jake Sherman, John Bresnahan and Burgess Everett: "Government Shutdown: Congress Sputters On CR" The government has officially shut down. The partisan gridlock in Washington proved insurmountable, as House Republicans continue to insist on changing, delaying or defunding Obamacare as the price for keeping the government open, while Senate Democrats and President Barack Obama firmly rejected that position. It's the first government shutdown since 1996, when Newt Gingrich was the House speaker and Bill Clinton was president. The House and Senate stayed in session until the wee hours Tuesday morning, but there is no clear path toward solving the budgetary impasse. LINK

A lot of people floated in and floated out; you had people from UC Berkeley and the kids from San Francisco State coming in and crunching numbers. It really was a collaborative effort from competing organizations, you know. There were different places where we met; we did some stuff out of the Center for Investigative Reporting for a while, we did some stuff out of the Tribune's newsroom. So you'd have people like [retired journalist] Mary Fricker who would come down from Sebastopol and sleep in a cold garage. She was just insane, and would come down and work—many a night, I'd come to work and she'd be there, and I'd leave and she'd [still] be there. And then of course [independent journalist] Bob Butler and Thomas Peele, who is the investigative reporter for the Bay Area News Group, which is my company—we've had him on the story exclusively for eighteen months.
What significance do you see here for collaborative, investigative journalism?
A lot of people say, well, news organizations can't do investigative journalism [anymore], but that wasn't why we came together. It wasn't because the Tribune or the Bay Area News Group couldn't have done it. But I don't think that it would have been anywhere close to what it was or made the statement that it did, because we also had Channel 2 KTVU, Channel 7 at one point, KQED, and KCBS have aired stories—so we had all these different mediums and entities who would link out. We had a big story for instance, that talked about the phone records that had been ignored and really pointed to a conspiracy, as well as this videotape [of Your Black Muslim Bakery leader Yusuf Bey IV describing the shooting in detail and bragging about being protected by his friendship with the lead detective on the case]. When we came out with that, that was a huge break—we had coordinated television with that as well, and we subjugated us coming out first thing in the morning with having the 10 o'clock news do a story at night and then saying "you can read about it in the Oakland Tribune and the Contra Costa Times," which is a pretty big departure from what you would do in a normal competitive environment.
If we [as news organizations] are going to redefine ourselves going forward, investigative reporting is one of the things that have to be part of what we are and what we remain. So if that means developing these partnerships that before we wouldn't have done because we would have just done it ourselves, I think it's something we have to take into account and do.
How about going forward; what's next?
Obviously, we're going to continue to follow the trials, every hearing, every court appearance; we will be there. Whether it is a Chauncey Bailey Project story or just an Oakland Tribune staff story, we will certainly be covering this stuff gavel to gavel. And we want to see justice meted out. The outgrowth of this has been an effort to see that the institutions within the city of Oakland are held to a higher standard, the police department, city officials, and the like. For a long time there hasn't been this level of probative newspaper coverage or media coverage of the goings on within the Oakland police department. We're not trying to tear it down, we're just trying to make it more of a functional organization, and that's really the goal.
Another thing that has been nice about this has been that the California Endowment, which was one of the funders, has expressed a desire on some of its other projects to potentially put together a Bailey-esque kind of collaborative reporting project to report on some of the initiatives that the foundation is doing. So people are already using the Bailey Project sort of as an adjective, and that's pretty cool.
What would you say you've learned in the course of doing this?
It's that what's most important when you're talking about serving a community is the journalism; it's not the competition. And I think we have to really re-think what our priorities are. It doesn't mean that you don't want to be first and right, but we can't afford at this point to be so focused on competition that we forget that we're in survival mode now, redefining ourselves. And if we can work together as journalists, we can do great good and remain essential to the communities we cover, and that means sometimes ignoring that traditional competitive spirit and making it collaborative instead.

About 9,000 people are still stranded, says State government
The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the Central and Uttarakhand governments to step up operations to evacuate people stranded in the flood-affected areas.
A vacation Bench of Justices A.K. Patnaik and Ranjan Gogoi gave this direction even as the two governments filed action taken reports pursuant to the order passed by the court on June 20. The Bench directed the matter be listed to June 28 to consider suggestions of petitioner Ajay Bansal.
The Centre said 1,189 air sorties were done by the Air Force while the Army carried out 419 sorties. By June 23, 96,500 people were evacuated. Uttarakhand said about 9,000 people were stranded across the State. The Union government said that on the request of the State, 2,000 tonnes each of wheat and rice were allocated. The armed forces had provided food to 20,380 people. Essential commodities, including food packets, were being airdropped. Food packets, water and medicines were being sent to all affected areas. Relief camps were being organised at different places.
It added that 80 per cent of telecommunication facilities had been restored and 77 satellite phones were distributed to various agencies. The State assured the court that evacuation of all pilgrims would be completed within 72 hours. The death toll was estimated at 560. It said: "there is no shortage of food items and essential supplies in the disaster-affected areas and 50,000 bottles of water and 50,000 packets of biscuits and 45,000 ready-to-eat food packets have been made available. Relief camps are being organised at 62 places."
The Uttarakhand government said "about 4,00,000 chlorine tablets have been distributed in the affected districts and another five lakh tablets are being procured. There is no shortage of food items and other essential supplies."

I've order this polo 3 times from SeattleTeams.com, yet to receive correct order.
1st order: Chose ship to store (Bellevue Square) option. Got the call that it had arrived. Went to store, they (the teenagers they have "run" the store) couldn't find it, and couldn't care less.
2nd order: Shipped to house. Ordered Large. Receipt, packing slip both say Large, but XL shipped. Returned.
3rd order: Spoke to human, who allegedly spoke to supervisor to get it correct and expidite order. Same result as second, ordered Large ... Receipt and packing slip say Large ... XL shipped.
Incompetence beyond belief.

App Description
Pyramids, the Sphinx, pharaohs, desert, mummies – EGYPT!!! The wealth and the reputation of the old culture at the Nile are still legendary and shrouded in mystery. There is one secret, you may disclose: How did they fill their pyramids treasuries?You are not only collecting treasures in this fascinating puzzle- and brain game. You are also gathering fame and recognition. Act clever to make it through all the levels and to increase your score and your resources, which may be swapped into luxury goods to fill your treasury.
The further you progress in game, the harder the riddles and tasks get. Of course the treasures and their worth will rise accordingly! Act carefully and do not entail the wrath of the gods! If you miss too many of the magic symbols, Osiris, Ra, Chnum and Isis mood will impair. If you get hit by the wrath of the goods, parts of your treasures will disappear and you will have to start over.
Things never turn out the way you expect. Should you be inobservant, the curse of the mummy may get you. Playing under the curse of the mummy can be hard because important tiles disappear and collecting treasures and appeasing the four gods will be harder.
The more treasures you collect, the more tools you get. New tools are always better than prior ones and you should use them to increase your income. The game offers an easy introduction to be enjoyable to pros and untrained players as well. Over time and during the levels, the game-play will become more challenging.
• More than 100 fantastic levels
• New features `Wrath of Osiris´, `Revenge of Ra ´, `Vengeance of Chnum´, `Wrath of Isis´, `Curse of the mummy ´
• Introduction to the game and 3 difficulty levels
• Uniquely gripping fun

Just joined this morning and watched my first lesson, "Video Transcoding and Compression Techniques". Fantastic! Thanks for starting this new membership subscription service. Without a doubt the best training service available online! I learned so much in just one session! Just had to say thanks before starting my next session. Also, can't wait until next Wednesday to participate in the Motion 5 live webinar as well! Nice to be able to participate live for a small additional fee and still have the ability to go back and review at a later date at my own pace through my subscription membership.

In these challenging economic times, buying your courses is the best investment I have made in years. Thanks Larry...
I bought and viewed Larry's webinar 21, "Unlock the Power of 3D Space in Motion," and found it to be a delicious introduction to 3D in Motion, aiding me immensely. I feel the Power of 3D coursing through my veins and Larry just upped my game. It was just the right amount of material to empower me to gain understanding and experiment on my own and get great results.

Just writing to say thank you for such a great, well-designed and thorough course on Final Cut Pro X. I have installed the whole course on my iPad2 so I don't need the Mac in front of me, or if I can, I refer to the training then back to the Mac screen, so it's a good combo. It's pretty overwhelming a learning curve for FCPX and Larry keeps the pace just right. Now, I absolutely know why it's so important to understand the setup rather than just heading straight for the first edit. I'm making the transition from Final Cut Express. Larry breaks the learning curve down into manageable chunks, and it fits just perfectly on the iPad. In terms of the amount of time and panic this is saving me, Larry Jordan's course is gold dust.
The training is excellent. I consider my purchase a solid investment and appreciate the excellence you bring to your work.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
We hired Robert Ray after we were surprised to find ourselves in a giant mess involving a home title and taxes. He took the time to really listen to what was happening to us and he helped us find out why it happened and how to fix it. He always explained every step of the process to make sure that we always knew what was going on. Robert Ray helped us stand our ground and we were able to clear our names and resolve things in our favor. We highly recommend him and would use him again if the need ever arose.
I was injured in a local business when I fell on their premises. Robert Ray came highly recommended through my personal network of contacts. Robert walked me through the realities of the Texas legal system and what I should reasonably expect given the facts of my case. His advice was clearly based on the experience of decades of participating in and consulting on all sorts of liability cases. He was able to set my expectations early so there was no room for disappointment. In the end he negotiated a very fair settlement on my behalf. I would not hesitate to recommend Robert to anyone. His ethics and professional approach are of the highest order.
Robert was extremely helpful, responsive and knowledgeable with our case. He quickly filed all documents required and provided guidance / recommendations throughout the case. He allowed us to make our own decisions on the case, but gave us his opinons and rationale to support his basis along with insight into how our actions might be viewed by the judge. He didn't force his views on us and let us drive the case the way we wanted with his full support. It was really nice to be able to have the deeper understanding to decisions rather than being told what to do. He is very flexible and kept us infromed all along the way. We highly recommend him for anyone needing a real estate attorney.
Mr. Ray was absolutley wonderful. On our first meeting, he immediatley made me feel at ease. He and his staff kept me informed every step of they way. He was always easy to reach, kept me informed, handled my case with ease and kept me calm, which is not always easy. :) Mr. Ray not only "handled" my case, he got amazing results. He is a knowlegable, respectable and respected attorney, but more than that, he is trustworthy and kind. I could not have ever expected to find a lawyer that could be such a good person as well as a great attorney. I also had the pleasure of meeting and working with Kristi in his office as well. Kristi was equally helpful and kind. I would not only recommend Mr. Ray, I'd go to him again if I ever need an attorney.
If you a looking for a great attorney please consider Robert Ray, I was very impressed with his professionalism and his personal approach with clients. I have spoken with many attorneys over the phone and as many of you may have experience the impatience to hurry and end the call unless you make an appointment. I called Mr. Ray over the phone to ask a question about filing for a LLC and he spent more than 45 minutes with me just advising me on what to do. I was not only impressed by this but also his knowledge and understanding on what I needed to do. If I have any future needs I wouldn't even consider consulting with another attorney. Thank you so much Mr. Ray for your professionalism, your patience, and kindness. You turn my panic into ease that you would help me resolve my situation.
I highly recommend Robert Ray for all legal services needed, he is a rare breed amongst attorneys and will always have your best interest at heart.
I personally had a very complicated business relationship that needed to end after 9 years of working with each other, it was complex to say the least and my initial meeting with Robert lasted 8 hours, well into the late evening on Friday, and Robert never gave me the feeling of being rushed, i was surprised and impressed.
The business agreement lasted a period of 6 months from inception to parting ways and Robert was always a quick phone call away and available to assist with any inquiries or unexpected events. These things are so complex and an attorney can make or break the situation, we all need attorneys in business affairs, and more importantly the RIGHT attorney.
At one point I was also being sued by an x-spouse and showed him the paperwork, and he kicked into high gear as if he was being sued personally, and got me out of the mess. i have to say i found my attorney for life, i hope he doesn't move or retire or makes me look for another attorney, because i won't let him.
If you're reading this review in search of an attorney, start with a phone call, it won't cost you a thing and it will validate the reviews you are reading about Robert. Best of luck.
Dr. Ray thoroughly knows the law and civil procedures. He diligently worked my case against four defendants, pushed for service, communicated often with the lawyers and kept me informed. When a squirrelly lawyer for a squirrelly defendant tried some tricks, Dr. Ray stopped him in his tracks. He was ready and willing to go to trial while pushing for settlement, which ultimately happened with reasonable attorney's fees paid by the defendants.
Robert Ray, is one of the most knowledgeable, and trustworthy lawyer that i have work with. Your ethic backgound do not matter wjth this lawyer, he is only concerned about your case, and you as his client.
We were looking for someone to guide us in setting up a hospitality startup. Robert was very responsive even though he had a full workload and most of it was out of town. He was very helpful in setting up the LLC and making sure we had covered all the bases.
One of our biggest concerns was how to approach potential investors. Robert gave us excellent tips on how to prepare our marketing materials and a lot of intel on how to approach potential investors in our area of interest. We are moving forward with the solicitation phase and anticipate using Robert's services when we negotiate agreements with the investors and any other future legal work for the enterprise.
Robert spends a lot of time helping other lawyers pick juries and prepare their materials to convey their arguments succinctly and effectively. His communication skills and ability to read people should prove invaluable in our negotiations with investors, sellers and other people involved in the setup of the business. We are very blessed to have his assistance at this critical point in this venture.
Dr. Ray goes beyond what this rating system rates. I think he should be an example for his profession. I was blessed when our paths crossed in 1992. In my time of need for this maritime matter he really came through for me. The rating system does not cover compassion, drive, or the desire to fight for what is right.
Once you add all these areas into ;the rating system Dr. Ray is unsurpassed. He saved my family in 1992 and I will be forever grateful to this man. I have struggled for years thinking of the proper way of expressing my gratitude toward him.
For anyone looking for someone to represent them I say to them that Robert Ray is their man, he goes above and beyond for his clients. I had the general perception of lawyers until I met Dr. Ray. He changed my thinking towards the profession, nothing was misrepresented to me at all. He told me everything to expect and my case was extremely complicated. Told me what he could handle and he did.
My current case he is dealing with is another court manner. He told me up front part of the case was not his specialty and he took steps to protect me and my family in all matters of the case. I had lost touch with Dr. Ray over the18 years between cases and thanks to this web site I was able to locate him again. Dr. Ray is the same man with the same passion for the law now in 2010 as he had in 1992 when i was fortunate to first meet him.
If not for Dr. Ray these legal matters would have totally destroyed my family now and in the past.
Once again I cannot say enough about this man. What he has done for us is inmeasurable. We were truly blessed when we met him.
In my opinion anyone using him will get the same dedicated service.

I can still remember the smell of dog food and peanut butter mixing and melting beneath Kentucky's July sun. My vertebrate zoology class was preparing to trap the Southern flying squirrel and my group received a special assignment: "make raccoon bait." So, while my other classmates assembled cages and rolled up squirrel-sized peanut butter and oat balls, I tucked my nose under my shirt and stirred our thick concoction with a broken branch.
Our neighbors in Canada recently undertook an initiative that just may be the biggest land conservation victory for the United States in decades. It ensures that massive amounts of greenhouse gases won't be released and added to global warming. The province of Ontario placed at least 55 million acres off limits from development in order to prevent the escape of the carbon dioxide associated with deforestation.
What if you were put in the same room with other conservationists, timber workers, the Forest Service, and local community leaders and asked how to manage a national forest? At first you might have hesitation and uncertainty, and rightly so as these groups have often worked against each other and had trouble hearing each other's seemingly disconnected voices.
It's one of the most difficult environmental concepts to understand, yet the word is starting to get out: some fires are good things. A look at a recent poll conducted by a coalition headed by The Wilderness Society and The Nature Conservancy revealed that the American public better understands that fire, under the right conditions, helps restore forests and protect communities and firefighters alike.

Price fixing serves no purpose other than to exploit consumers and maintain unruly profit margins for monopoly powers that be. How can price fixing be detected when political ties with business are endemic and inescapable. Regulators need to be regulated, upon whom also need to be regulated. Where does the buck stop?
Fear of damaging competition would be removed if firms were required to pay three times the value of the excess profits that they reaped (the Old Testament payback) in their company's shared evaluated AFTER the news of the punishment was released. There should also be freedom for the courts to target with criminal bankruptcy the actual executives involved; personal liability for illegal profits in full... to make the point the criminal bankrupt should be released from court in his underwear since he will no longer own any other clothes ;)
"Do you know why this is such a great country?" Stephen Colbert asks with sincerity, "because anywhere else on earth we would line them up and shoot them."
If collusion is the rational choice because the chances of getting caught are too low, why is the solution not to make it easier to catch price-fixers? Psychologists have long known that punishment is only effective if it's predicable.
The best way to uncover cartels: make whistleblowing more attractive.
Not all cartels are equal. Some are indeed harmful schemes to gouge the consumer. But small and powerless economic actors may well be justified in getting up together, in order to protect themselves against powerful buyers. Trade unions are a case in point.
In the same way it is not obviously wrong if an atomized industry is trying to make a counterweight to over-mighty buyers, such as in the car industry or in retail. It appears a bit unfair to go after a bunch of small firms trying to protect themselves in a monopsonic market, while leaving the big, powerful firms alone.
The problem is not with cartels as such, but with overwhelming market power and its abuse. Simply criminalizing cartels doesn't address the underlying problem.
In Britain the first cartel to be studied is the rented housing market . There is no shortage of housing in this country .When people own as many as a thousand houses it is easy to hold houses off the market to keep rents high . Also a few years ago Eric Pickles gave the game away about empty houses by threatening to make landlords pay the full property tax on empty houses which I believe only pay half if empty . I live in a row of 45 houses, last year when we had snow it became apparent that houses were empty when 7 houses on the street had no footprints going in or out, this was after about 10 day of the snow, so even if some were on holiday some of these houses were just kept off the market .This is just one street ,some of these houses are still empty, no rubbish out on rubbish day bit off a give away . I think the first part of a crack down is to restrict the number of houses some one can own maybe as low as 20 might change thing. Maybe a survey by the Economist could be started
If one wants rents to collapse in Britain "cartel busting" will not achieve anything. What one needs to do is to end the "cheap money" policy of the Bank of England (i.e. the monetary expansion - credit bubble Economist magazine "economics"). And (if one really wants rents to collapse) one would get rid of "Housing Benefit" - as even David Ricardo understood (centuries ago) if government subsidies something the price goes up - whether it is medical care, student tuition costs, or rent, if the government subsidises paying the bills the price goes up and up.
As for "competition policy" in general.
The Economist magazine (as usual) fails to see that government regulations are THE PROBLEM NOT THE SOLUTION.
You have in your minds the (utterly false) idea that a free market is something that government creates (via a blackboard neo classical "perfect competition" model). In reality government regulations make the cheating of customers worse (not better).
You simply fail to grasp that the conception of economics you were taught at university (with noble government inspectors out "trust busting" and so on) is just wrong - utterly wrong.
In your mental universe people such as "Teddy" Roosevelt did good - in the real world they (however noble their intentions may have been) did harm.

Type.DefaultBinder Property
Gets a reference to the default binder, which implements internal rules for selecting the appropriate members to be called by InvokeMember.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The default binder provided with the common language runtime is applicable in all but the most specialized circumstances. If you need a binder that follows rules that differ from those of the supplied default binder, define a type derived from the Binder class and pass an instance of that type using the binder parameter of one of the InvokeMember overloads.
Reflection models the accessibility rules of the common type system. For example, if the caller is in the same assembly, the caller does not need special permissions for internal members. Otherwise, the caller needs ReflectionPermission. This is consistent with the invocation of members that are protected, private, and so on.
The general principle is that ChangeType should perform only widening conversions, which never lose data. An example of a widening conversion is converting a value that is a 32-bit signed integer to a value that is a 64-bit signed integer. This is distinguished from a narrowing conversion, which may lose data. An example of a narrowing conversion is converting a 64-bit signed integer to a 32-bit signed integer.
The following table lists the conversions supported by the default binder.
Source Type | Target Type |
Any type | Its base type. |
Any type | The interface it implements. |
Char | Unt16, UInt32, Int32, UInt64, Int64, Single, Double |
Byte | Char, Unt16, Int16, UInt32, Int32, UInt64, Int64, Single, Double |
SByte | Int16, Int32, Int64, Single, Double |
UInt16 | UInt32, Int32, UInt64, Int64, Single, Double |
Int16 | Int32, Int64, Single, Double |
UInt32 | UInt64, Int64, Single, Double |
Int32 | Int64, Single, Double |
UInt64 | Single, Double |
Int64 | Single, Double |
Single | Double |
Non-reference | By-reference. |
The following example gets the default binder from the DefaultBinder property, and invokes a member of MyClass by passing the DefaultBinder value as a parameter to InvokeMember.
using System; using System.Reflection; public class MyDefaultBinderSample { public static void Main() { try { Binder defaultBinder = Type.DefaultBinder; MyClass myClass = new MyClass(); // Invoke the HelloWorld method of MyClass. myClass.GetType().InvokeMember("HelloWorld", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, defaultBinder, myClass, new object [] {}); } catch(Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Exception :" + e.Message); } } class MyClass { public void HelloWorld() { Console.WriteLine("Hello World"); } } }

Event Recap: The Fingerprints of Kahlil Gibran on Contemporary Arts
Last week, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) held the first Arabesque Lecture Series event of 2013, "The Fingerprints of Kahlil Gibran on Contemporary Arts."
January's Arabesque was dedicated as a celebration of the 130th anniversary of the birth of the literary giant and the submission of ADC's request for a Kahlil Gibran commemorative stamp. The event was a major success as both new and familiar faces packed the Langston Room at Busboys and Poets to capacity and beyond. The guests enjoyed the wonderful contemporary atmosphere and dining experience at Busboys while learning about Gibran and his lasting impact on facets of art in today's contemporary age. The evening began with American University Center for Global Peace Mustafa Barzani Scholar of Global Kurdish Studies, Dr. Edmund Ghareeb. Dr. Ghareeb gave the audience an overview of Gibran's life and his place as one of the most influential artists and poets. To conclude his informational and interesting discussion, Dr. Ghareeb read selections from Gibran's original poetry that his own father had worked with Gibran to translate from Arabic into English. The evening's second speaker, media specialist and filmmaker, Walid Jawad, discussed his documentary, "Tracing the Footsteps of Gibran."Jawad undertook filming the piece to discover the Arab American identity by following the times and trials of Gibran's life. He explained Gibran's influence on his own life and recounted the thought and process behind filming the documentary. The evening's final presenter was Los Angeles-based Arab American artistKinda Hibrawi. Hibrawi joined the session remotely to discuss Gibran's influence on her work as an Arab American artist, and her "Dear Mr. Gibran" painting collection in particular. She explained the impetus behind her decision to produce a collection dedicated to Gibran and explained to the audience a few select pieces from the collection. Read more about the presenters and the artwork of Kinda Hibrawi here.
The evening was capped off by wonderful poetry and spoken word performances celebrating Gibran. ADC intern's Celine Toubia and Norhan Basuni performed, as did ADC supporter Samer Badawi. Toubia did a lovely reading of Gibran's "Beauty." Basuni read Gibran's "Let These Be Your Desires" and then performed an original spoken-word response to the work. Badawi performed a beautiful poem written by a young Palestinian girl from Gaza.
ADC thanks Busboys and Poets for their support of our programs and initiatives. We would also like to thank each person that attended and supported the Gibran Stamp Campaign in any way! Your support is greatly appreciated and we hope to see you at future Gibran events and Arabesque lectures.

Four-Way Test Speech Contest
Preparations are underway for the local Rotary Four-Way Test Speech Contest to be held on March 2, 2015 at the regular Bellefontaine Rotary Club meeting. The event is open to high school-age students throughout Logan County. Local high schools may hold their own Speech Contest to select participants to compete in the Bellefontaine Rotary Four-Way Test Speech Contest on March 2. Rotary International adopted the Four-Way Test as a measure for Rotarian interactions at work and in their personal lives. While thinking through "Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?" – The Four-Way Test – anyone can make sure whatever he or she is about to do or add to a conversation is appropriate and helpful. The Rotary Four-Way Speech Contest is a chance for students to apply the test to their personal lives and experiences while talking about the concepts of leadership and service to others. Through a memorized four to six minute speech, students can share how the Four-Way Test applies to their service projects at school or church, or how it helps them become better students academically or how it is true in their interactions with siblings, friends, and team members. "We are hoping to draw experienced speakers – maybe students who have been in theater productions or in speech classes – as well as students who are first-time speakers who can take the Rotary Four-Way Test and tell us how it applies in their lives," said Sally Stolly, Chair for the local event. Each of the 52 clubs in Rotary District 6670 is able to send a local high school age contestant to the District Competition at Wright State University. That competition is Sunday, March 22, 2015, which is why preparations are underway now for local competitions. For more information such as the contest guidelines and judging form, students are encouraged to contact their high school offices, their high school Interact Advisor, or the committee Chair listed below. Local cash prizes awarded by the Bellefontaine Rotary Club include: $200 for 1st place, $100 for 2nd place, and $50 for 3rd place. District Level cash prizes include: $400 for 1st place, $300 for 2nd place, $200 for 3rd place, and $100 for 4th place. March 2, 2015 is the date for the Bellefontaine Rotary Club competition held at the Friendly Senior Center from 12 noon to 1pm, however, students can start planning now.

If the machines offer consumers more convenience, they offer retailers higher profit margins. Mall retailers generate $330 per square foot on average while airport retailers average about $1,000 per square foot, according to ZoomSystems, a leading manufacturer of the machines based in San Francisco. Automated retail machines, by contrast, can earn between $3,000 and $10,000 a square foot and between $4,000 and $40,000 a square foot in airports.
Room for plenty of growth
The industry has a lot of room for growth, if Japan is any indication. The United States currently has 400,000 self-service kiosks, according to the Self-Service & Kiosk Association, based in Louisville, Ky. That works out to about 1 machine for every 750 Americans. In Japan, there is 1 vending machine for every 23 people, according to the Japan Vending Machine Manufacturers Association.
"They use vending machines for everything," says David Drain, executive director of the Self-Service & Kiosk Association. "They can buy a train ticket or a Coke with a mobile phone and all of it is a 24-hour service."

2nd LG washing machine
Lovely machine, with many useful features. Downside - it's noisier than my previous LG which was surprising and a little disappointing.

This Machine Knocks Spots off My Old HotPoint.
Only had this washing machine for a couple of months
and I can honestly say it knocks spots off my old machine. Clothes come out clean in all tempeture,
so quite when washing a baby could fall asleep. It has a vast range of features which works very well.
The only thing I would nit- pick about is the control panel could light up a bit brighter, but apart from that this is an excellent washing machine which I would recommend all day long.
06 May 2014
Installation Note: Industry-wide best practice is to install your washing appliance on a levelled solid concrete, tiled or non-suspended wooden floor to ensure minimum vibration and noise.

In New York City, there is an increase in the number of HIV infections among men who have sex with men (MSM), many of them due to unsafe sex. Many MSM in the city put themselves at risk by using drugs and alcohol, often while in a night club. Such behavior affects their judgment, and leads to the contraction of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV. If condoms were easily attainable, safe sex would be practiced more often and less MSM would be at risk for HIV. The solution to the problem is simple: use a condom. "Hey New York: healthy is sexy" is an awareness campaign that encourages MSM in New York City to practice safe sex.

So I recently left a game and I was suspended for one day, so okay that's not to bad. So I wait one day and now I still can't log in. In the email they specifically said that my account would be unbanned Feb 3rd 5:54 in California, It is about 1 hour past that here and my account is still banned. Can someone tell me why? Or is Riot just being a bit slow.?
Senior Member
5:54 pm or am?
5:54 am
Saint Latona
Huh, your suspension should be lifted already.
These threads come in from time to time. Usually it's Riot being just a little slow. It shouldn't take much longer.
:/ its been over 5 hours and I'm still banned anyway I could contact Riot directly?
Send a support ticket. Unfortunately due to the amount of tickets they get it'll probably be about 8 hours before you get a reply. Hopefully they'll lift it before that and you can just edit the ticket but who knows what happened. There have been a lot of bugs lately and they may just have to manually fix your account.

The Car Parts Warehouse is the premier marketer for the vehicle replacement parts. We have a huge collection of the replacement parts and the re-engineered parts with the international quality. There are about 50 brands of vehicle for which we cover the spare parts. The BMW X3 car is one of the supreme brand for which you can purchase the AC compressor with the original equipment marketer (OEM) and aftermarket quality. We provide the complete warranty for the AC compressor to your BMW X3 car. You need not fear that the replacement may be from the junkyard. We do not deal with such parts.
The air conditioning system is a device that has to be driven electronically. There are various parts in the air conditioning system which can either be an electronic component or the mechanical component. The AC compressor in your BMW X3 car is one of the most important part and so it is known as the heart of the AC system. The AC compressor of your BMW X3 car is a mechanical component and this device is connected to the engine system to make it function along with the other electronic parts of the AC system. For this connection, a belt is used to link the AC compressor in your BMW X3 car and the engine system through the electromagnetic clutch.
The contribution of the BMW X3 A/C compressor is the major part in its air conditioning system which is to pressurize and pump out the refrigerant gas to its outlet. The inlet to the AC compressor in your BMW X3 car is connected to the accumulator which gets the low pressure refrigerant vapor. This refrigerant is then pressured using the compression process in your AC compressor in BMW X3 car. The resulting refrigerant is let to the condenser that is attached to the outlet of the AC compressor of your BMW X3 car. As the pressure of the refrigerant in the AC compressor of your BMW X3 car increases, the external part of the air conditioning system gets hot.
The heat evolved around the AC compressor of your BMW X3 car is the result of the compression. For the air conditioning system to have the safer performance, this heat must be exhausted out of the vehicle system. If the air conditioning system in your BMW X3 car is not working properly, replacement at the right place at right time is advisable. For this Car Parts Warehouse is the best place. You can contact us at the toll free line or the email assistance 1-800-565-5021 through firstname.lastname@example.com for any of your queries regarding our services.

"This postcard was so easy to personalize. My daughter was able to place her favorite pictures in the spaces provided, and I was able to post a personal note on the back. We both liked the casual feel of the announcement, and we received many compliments on the card from our recipients. They also appreciated the less than formal feel - most of my daughters friends really hated the formal announcement their school selected for them. And everyone who received one stated their appreciation of the personal note where I listed her academic accomplishments. :-)"
"I love the quality of the card. It was heavy card stock not flimsy photo paper. Great coloring and quality. So far all who received one absolutely loved it. It was nice that I could "customize" the photo with the vintage look. I would order this one again for my next graduate."
"Everything turn out beautiful, the picture , the quality it outstanding , fast and easy to order, i have to reorder more and costumer service is just wonderful to talk too."
"The card looked great, I loved the layout and was overall happy with the quality. We were proud to send it out to family and friends."
"This post card was the perfect solution because we just wanted a simple announcement with a nice picture. The bonus was being able to write a more detailed message about our grad. Our picture was off center which worked really well with the monogrammed initial. We received a high quality product for a very good price. We are so pleased with how beautiful the cards turned out and how quickly we received them. We can't wait to send them out to our family and friends."

When a red was once giving a rough (and I mean really rough) description of what they'd change about stealth, I was already suspecting and hoping for this... This is an incredible change, and will solve a ton of problems, once you get it tweaked to balance Also thank you for the information you're giving out, it's highly appreciated.

Oh I LIKE this change. I think that teamfighting with these new mechanics are going to cause some really interesting positioning strategies to emerge... especially for getting fights going near brush.
What if this "Wriggle's" thing you were talking about could be activated to give you 3 seconds of Oracle's on a 60-second cooldown. Now a "ward sweep" will take a lot of time and be hit-or-miss, completely countered by unique ward placement. Plus you don't run the risk of dying as soon as you use it and wasting the 400g. Then you can remove Oracle's.
THANK YOU so much for the update!!!
I think Oracle's Elixir should stay to counter wards and "invisibility". It's a must-get against an Akali, Teemo and Shaco. And the map-awareness battle is a fundamental part to the top-level 5 premade game.
