Life Insurance: Regulation as Contract Enforcement
Alan D. Morrison, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford
Debating the minutiae of insurance regulation without a clear understanding of why insurance companies are regulated is futile. In this non-technical essay I discuss the economic rationale for insurance business regulation. I conclude that the appropriate role of the regulator in this industry is to enforce contracts which would otherwise be broken. This implies that regulation should be optional, and that regulation need not be a monopoly activity.
KEY WORDS: Insurance regulation, contract enforcement.

Children suspected of having appendicitis are more likely to receive CT scans, which involve radiation, if they are evaluated at a general hospital, a new study by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has shown.
Similar patients who went to St. Louis Children's Hospital were more often evaluated with an ultrasound scan, a safer option that uses sound waves instead of radiation to confirm or rule out the need for surgery to remove the appendix.
Use of either scanning technique can potentially reduce the occurrence of unnecessary surgeries and expedite the diagnosis of appendicitis. But recent reports have suggested that the radiation exposures in CT scans can significantly increase children's lifetime cancer risk. As a result, researchers are reassessing the role of CT scans and seeking ways to reduce their use.
The study appears online Dec. 24 in the journal Pediatrics.
"Appendicitis is a very tough diagnosis, because its symptoms overlap with viral infections and other problems," says first author Jacqueline Saito, MD, assistant professor of surgery. "We don't want to operate when the appendix is fine, but if we wait too long, an inflamed appendix can rupture or perforate, making recovery more complicated and much slower."
The appendix is a finger-shaped pouch that extends from the large intestine. Infection or blockage of the appendix causes appendicitis, which can lead to abdominal pain, vomiting and fever.
Saito and her colleagues analyzed case records of 423 children who had appendectomies, or surgery to remove the appendix, at St. Louis Children's Hospital. In 218 patients initially evaluated at Children's Hospital and 205 at general hospitals, researchers reviewed how the patients were evaluated for appendicitis and whether the surgery's results confirmed the diagnosis.
CT scans, which take X-ray images from multiple angles, have been the primary diagnostic scan for detecting appendicitis for many years. About 85 percent of children initially evaluated at a general hospital underwent preoperative CT scans, and 45 percent of children initially seen at St. Louis Children's Hospital had CT scans. Using ultrasound to detect appendicitis has recently become more frequent, especially at St. Louis Children's Hospital; over half of children initially seen at St. Louis Children's Hospital, compared to 20 percent at general hospitals, had preoperative ultrasound.
Only 7 percent were not scanned using either method, and 15 percent had both types of imaging.
While ultrasound scans are safer for diagnosing appendicitis in children, they must be performed and interpreted by personnel who have received specialized training and are familiar with pediatric diagnostics.
"Ultrasound scans are difficult to perform correctly in this context, and what specialists can do at Children's Hospital may not be realistic or even available in a general hospital, which doesn't care for children as often," Saito says.
Saito is currently studying the outcomes of patients whose scans ruled out an appendectomy, looking to see if they had any additional symptoms or eventually had to have their appendixes removed.
"Ultimately what we'd liked to do is learn how we can reduce our use of CT imaging without compromising patient care," she says. "We want to find ways to identify the patients who really need these scans and those who can be effectively evaluated using other methods."

Subject: Mr. Rogers Date: 4/8/2005 6:59:46 A.M. Pacific Standard Time From: Reply To: To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hello there ! I love your web site. I started an atheist ministry and I already linked to your site and some of your articles. They are truly powerful, and some are eye-opening even for me. I keep appraised of all your updates. Great work ! I am distressed about one thing, however. On your article "Just Say No! " (http://www.jcnot4me.com/Items/evangelical_ath/Just%20Say%20No/just_say_no.htm), you compare "Jesus" to Mr. Rogers. I find it quite distressing that you would compare such a gentle and comapssionate man (Mr. Rogers) with the frustrated, angry, failed cult leader "Jesus". Please choose someone else ;) --- Yours in Reason, Francois Tremblay firstname.lastname@example.com Personal site : www.insolitology.com/personal/ Owner of Strongatheism.net ( www.strongatheism.net ). Co-Host of the Hellbound Alleee show ( www.hellboundalleee.com ) Author of "Handbook of Atheistic Apologetics", "Introduction to Objectivism" and "Atheism in a Post-religious World" (see http://www.objectivethought.com/books/ ). This message was made with recycled electrons.
Hey Francois; Thanks for the email, and the linkage. We all need to do what we can to keep people sane. You are right about Mr. Rogers being a better example / role model for children. I think what I was trying to do there, in as short and pithy a way as possible, was to contrast the two gods of Christiandumb. In a short short one page essay like that, where I'm touching on subjects that each could fill an entire book, one has to cut things to their bare minimum. I am trying to convey an idea, and I think that the comparison I chose does that. What you didn't mention is that even Freddy Krugar is way above Biblegod Joe Hovah in moral values etc- Biblegod is responsible for the deaths of everyone on the planet for the last billion years, as Biblegod created death because Adam ate a piece of fruit. Freddy has maybe only killed a hundred in his whole career! I'll put a link up and probably your email on my site later.
--Mark Smith, Set Free
Hi Mark, Last one, I promise (At least for today). Christians can sometimes be an enormous pain in the, you know what. They can strutt around with their chest out pretending to be 'holier than thou' or better than everyone else. They can make some pretty stupid statements about their faith, or God in general. They can even be hurtful, unthinking and unkind when they want to be... and sometimes even when they don't. But what does that make them... hypocrites? No! it makes them human. Just like everyone else.
Mark Smith here} Uhhh, maybe I'm a little bit stupid, but what does this have to do with my essay "He Wasn't A Real Christian"???
I've read some pretty dopey things on your website, like that article "The Gospel (Good News) of Jesus" where you try to convince the small minded that Jesus said a number of things that Christians wished he hadn't. I can't even accept that you believe some of the crap you've written.
Mark Smith here} Once again, an accusation with no evidence to back it up. They think they can just speak, and it will become so. Let me try... OK Nev, everything you write is wrong. Boy, that was easy!!!
But what does that make you? Human. What about that "Just say NO" article? You've thrown the baby own with the bathwater. Is it fair to judge God by the actions of fallible people?
Mark Smith here} Is it fair to judge a cure for cancer by noticing that it's never cured anyone??? The medicine doesn't work as advertised, Nev. Compare crime rates for Christian USA verses Pagan Japan.
Is it even wise to refuse to believe in him because you have developed an irrational hate (it comes through very clearly in your articles) for his followers? Your thinking, though you like to see it as 'free', is bound and restricted by a bias that drives you to irrationality.
Mark Smith here} Nev still thinks he's Biblegod speaking things into existence. He claims that I'm irrational, but of course, doesn't provide one bit of evidence. Maybe this kind of empty accusation flies in church, but not in the real world. Preachers get up and say all sorts of crap without backing it up, and the dumbass sheep in the pews just suck it in without questioning. Well Nev, these ain't no sheep around here, and we sure ain't in no friggin church!!! You claim I hate Christians: prove it. You also claim I am irrational: prove it. You also claim I am bias: again, prove it. But I won't hold my breath waiting for your evidence, for like most xtians, you have none. All you have is slander and unfounded accusations. Your type is good at name calling, but not at intelligent debates.
Fancy telling people to say "NO" to God because a church cheated you, or a minister lied to you, or a Christian deceived you.
Mark Smith here} Fancy telling people to say "NO" to a religion that doesn't work as advertised! Well! The Audacity of me! How dare me! Just because Jesus said that Christians can drink poison without harm (Mark 16:18) and I point out that this is pure horseshit, how dare me! Yes, how dare me to point out that their religion is mostly pompous hot air, and doesn't work as advertised. How dare me.
I don't believe for a minute, that you are an Atheist, Mark! You have to believe in God to hate him as much as you do. Regards Nev Randle

This methods allows the rapid analysis of numerous small samples for the sequence of interest and is less time consuming than the gel electrophoresis methods. 'Dots' or 'slots' of RNA are made onto a filter using a manifold and the filter is then hybridised with a labelled probe. Partially degraded RNA can also be used with good semi-quantitative results. However, high false positive rates need careful use of appropriate controls

Edgar Allan Poe introduced mystery fiction's first fictional detective, Auguste C. Dupin, in his 1841 story, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue."
New research has found that people who work 11-hour days or more increase their chance of a heart attack by about 67%.
Researchers say the risk is so great that GPs should ask patients what hours they work along with how much they drink or smoke. Scientists monitored 7,000 people over 11 years, over which time 192 had suffered a heart attack.
They found that those who worked more than 11 hours a day were 67 per cent more likely to have one than those who had a nine to five job.

April 6th 2011 was the 37th Anniversary of ABBA's Waterloo victory at the Eurovision Song Contest; it was also the 12th Anniversary of the original production of the smash hit musical MAMMA MIA!. From the West End to global phenomenon, MAMMA MIA! is Judy Craymer's ingenious vision of staging the story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs with an enchanting tale of family and friendship unfolding on a Greek island paradise.
Judy Craymer said, "It has been the most amazing journey from opening the London show in 1999 to now celebrating its 12th year. I'm so proud of the original production; it is the flagship show and so embraced by the audiences especially following the popularity of the film."
The highest scoring word in the English language game of Scrabble is 'Quartzy'. This will score 164 points if played across a red triple-word square with the Z on a light blue double-letter square. It will score 162 points if played across two pink double-word squares with the Q and the Y on those squares. 'Bezique' and 'Cazique' are next with a possible 161 points. All three words score an extra 50 points for having seven letters and therefore emptying the letter rack in one go.

Codice Software Donates Plastic SCM to Help Ethiopian Orphans (1 messages)
- Posted by: Joseph Ottinger
- Posted on: May 08 2008 12:10 EDT
Codice Software - makers of the PlasticSCM revision control system - says that a Swedish charity is using PlasticSCM as part of Codice' software donation program to help orphans in Awassa, Ethiopia. The important thing here is to recognize the social contribution, something that many companies already are willing to do already - but it's often not acknowledged publicly, and it should be. PlasticSCM is a distributed revision control system, that propagates branches such that change control is easy to manage even from laptops that aren't connected to the network all the time, as PlasticSCM will upload and download branch changes when it's able to. (There's a free evaluation copy for download, if you're interested.) Thanks, guys, on behalf of people in need everywhere.Threaded Messages (1)

Balancing Speakers
Usually, our speakers are well-balanced so we have no problem with sound disorder. However, in case the one of the speakers aren't functioning so well and one is a bit softer than the other, we have a solution before you dump your old speakers into the rubbish bin.
Double-click the yellow speaker in the taskbar's system tray. You will notice that there is a slider on top of all the settings. The slider is used to balance the speakers' volume. Experiment which one you should use to get the optimum results.

If your refund for 2008 is large, you may want to decrease the amount of income tax withheld from your pay in 2009. See chapter 4 for more information. |

An injured spouse claim is different from an innocent spouse relief request. An injured spouse uses Form 8379 to request the division of the tax overpayment attributed to each spouse. An innocent spouse uses Form 8857, Request for Innocent Spouse Relief, to request relief from joint liability for tax, interest, and penalties on a joint return for items of the other spouse (or former spouse) that were incorrectly reported on the joint return. For information on innocent spouses, see Relief from joint liability under Filing a Joint Return in chapter 2. |

iPOD and SDHC – SDXC cards
For some time many people have wanted to use my iFlash iPod CF adapter with the new generation of large format SD memory cards. SDHC and SDXC are the new generation of SD cards which are cheaper and have capacities of upto 256Gb and growing.
For many years you could buy SD-CF adapters but they would not work in the iPOD. Most of these convertors required a high working power supply current that the iPod was unable to provide, while others just did not provide the correct True IDE functions.
The Good News
Recently a user let me know he had succeeded in getting a 64Gb SDXC card working in my iFlash with an SD to CF adapter.
So after some investigation and spending a small fortune on various SD – CF adaptors I noted that there is a new generation of pcb design used in these adapters which seems to work well with the iFlash and the iPOD. Even better it works in all the iPod generations supported by my iFlash – 5g, 5.5g, 6g, 6.5g, and 7g.
Installation is simple, the iFlash is first installed – then install the SD card in to your SD-CF Adapter – finally insert the whole thing in to the iFlash, ready to restore the iPod.
SDHC and SDXC which cards to get
So far all the SDHC and SDXC cards I tested worked ok, so it is looking likely that majority of the SD cards out there will work ok.
In terms of card speed, one user has reported issues playing FLACS with a Class 4 card. I would suggest you want a minimum of a Class 6 card with Class 10 the prefered option.
So far… working and tested in 5g / 6g / 7g iPods (Updated: 7th April 2015)
8Gb SDHC Class 10 Centon
16Gb SDHC Class 10 CnMemory
16Gb micro SD Class 4 Sandisk (possible too slow for FLAC playback)
64Gb SDXC Class 10 7DayShop
64Gb SDXC Class 10 Busbi (one of the cheapest card available)
64Gb SDXC Class 10 Centon
64Gb SDXC Class 10 Lexar
64Gb SDXC Class 10 Platinum
64Gb SDXC Class 10/UHS-I Qumox
64Gb microSDXC UHS-I Sandisk Ultra
64Gb SDXC Class 10 Sandisk
64Gb SDXC UHS-I/Class 10 600x Transcend
128Gb SDXC Class10 Kingston (Random Skipping problems on some cards)
128Gb SDXC Class10/UHS-I 400x Lexar
128Gb SDXC Class10 Patriot Memory LX Series
128Gb SDXC UHS-I PNY Elite Performance
128Gb SDXC UHS-I Qumox
128Gb SDXC UHS-I 80Mb/s Ramozz
128Gb SDXC Class10 Sandisk
128Gb SDXC Class10 Transcend (Issues on 5g/5.5g – Working great on 6g/6.5g/7g)
128Gb SDXC UHS-I Transcend Ultimate
256Gb SDXC UHS-I Kingston SDA10/256GB
256Gb SDXC UHS-I 400x Lexar (Ok – Not recommended)
256Gb SDXC UHS-I 600x Lexar (Ok – Not recommended)
256Gb SDXC UHS-I PNY (Since Oct 14)
Lexar 256Gb can sometimes cause song skips on very large size (20MB+) lossless files. The PNY 256Gb is the preferred card at this capacity, not only because of its price but it performs really well in all iPods.
Which SD-CF Adapter
You can purchase the required SD adapter on my store page, as well as a discounted iFlash SD Adapter bundle.
UPDATE 30th July 2013 – v5 SD-CF Adapter
The above adapter has been replaced by a new and improved 5th Generation product, which is now SD 3.01 spec which means it officially supports UHS-I cards as well all Class 10, 6, 4 and 2 types. As well as being fully iSDIO and SDIO Compliant.
Manufacturer states this newer adapter has slightly faster transfer speeds and better stability to deal with lower quality SD cards.
UPDATE 30th July 2014 – v6 SD-CF Adapter
The SD-CF Adapter is now fully LBA48 Compliant hence will work with the newest 256Gb SDXC cards in the 5g/5.5g iPods.
The hardware has been upgraded to improve access times and reduce wait cycles.
UPDATE 6th October 2014 – v7 SD-CF Adapter
Resolved restore loop on iPod Classics, improved compatability with soon to be released 256Gb UHS cards.

"It was OK, typicall short Patterson stuff."
Youngsters may like it more than I did. Just not that challenging, but it was entertaining though.
Yeah, it was OK. Entertaining enough, somewhat predictable though.
The narration was great, as usual in all ways.
It sparks family emotions, mainly.
Like nothing I've ever read. This is crap to the upmost degree, sorry author. Not worth the minimum stars in step one, but they require that you put down at least one.
Burned it before he burned me and countless others. How did this book get any positive ratings at all?
Its impossible to detract for obvious garbage.
Disappointment, and more disappointment.
This guy belongs in book writers purgatory. No, I guess I went too far. He ain't no freaking writer.

Fuck you, this car will even expensive than YOU, motherfucker
Sorry for so much emotional words...
I just cannot tolerate that someone use those mods that I spent many time and effort on.
When I saw this, I just went mad, and felt very disappointed.
But it is impossible that all of those parts are from FM4.
Here is the list:
Chassis from Liviu95's SRT8
Front&rear bumper from Derrick(Taiwan)
Rim was modified into this by me
300 logo on boot, scratch-made by me
Steer was modified into this by me
Interior was also modified into this by me
I'm not showing off, but just want some respect.
Once you ask for permission, I would be glad to give it.
You'd better be careful next time, especially when you take request.
His name is brad, here's his email to contact him,
Sean Yang,
I am sorry to hear that, someone sent me this model as a request on my email, when i received it, they said it was from Forza Motorsports 4
Stolen mods!
I converted that 300 SRT to VC, and made a lot of effort to make it into a regular 300.
How could you just steal those parts and claim that's yours?
The logo, rim.interior.steer...etc.
I spent lots of time on them, you just steal them without any effort, you are in deep shit, jackass!

Renewable energy a solution for both developed and developing nations
Posted on 17 October 2013
Governments across the globe are still innovating ways to incorporate renewables into their national energy mix.
This process presents challenges for both developed and developing economies. Perhaps the biggest question for poor countries remains how to make new technologies affordable for citizens, many of whom live on $1 a day. And for wealthy nations, such as Japan, the introduction of renewables has become a necessity following the 2011 accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
For Lebanonãs government, some of those answers were found in already existing financing structures. Pierre El Khoury, Director the Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation (LCEC), said renewable energy became ãa serious alternative to [diesel] generators and blackouts.ã That was thanks to zero-interest loans that the central bank gave to citizens who gave up generators in favor of solar panels. El Khoury said Beirut is hoping to expand its renewables policies by working with the national bank to start offering ãgreen energyã loans to more power deprived Lebanese.
The Algerian government also has found success installing solar panels to communities that are not connected to the national grid. ãBy 2030, we will make solar energy count for 40% of our energy mix,ã said Noureddine Boutarfa, CEO of Sonelgaz. So far, solar panels have delivered electricity to 18 villages and there are plans to introduce the technology to other desert communities. Boutarfa added that Algeria is an ideal country for further innovations in renewable resources since it enjoys 3,000 hours of sunlight a year.
Following the Fukushima nuclear accident, the future of Japanãs energy policy has become unclear. Nuclear power was expected to supply half of Japanãs total energy needs, but that is now impossible, according to Kenji Yamaji, Director General of RITE in Japan. Japan ãmust fill the gap and renewables will play an important role,ã he said. This may mean the use of solar panels could see an even greater increase during the upcoming years as Japan tries to devise a new energy strategy. However, the recent return to power of the Liberal Democratic Party could mean a return to a nuclear driven policy, Yamaji added.
Clear policies and government regulations are basic essentials to implementing a successful renewable energy mix into a nationãs power grid, said Jose Luis Aburto, Planning Director of Mexicoãs Federal Electricity Commission (CFE). But, he added, what works in one region doesnãt always mean the same results can be achieved in another. The strategy ãhas to be designed for the needs of the communityã and depends on mature technology that can reliably produce energy.
This news story is based on the What Does It Take? session, ãRenewables: Making the business case for distributed energyã, at the 2013 World Energy Congress.

AndersonThe York Management School Chris BrooksUniversity of Reading - ICMA Centre May 2005 Abstract: The price-earnings effect has been thoroughly documented and widely studied around the world. However, in existing research it has almost exclusively been calculated on the basis of the previous year's earnings. We show that the power of the effect has until now been seriously underestimated, due to taking too short-term a view of earnings. We look at all UK companies since 1975, and using the traditional P/E ratio we find the difference in average annual returns between the value and glamour deciles to be 6%, similar to other authors' findings. We are able to almost double the value premium by calculating P/E ratios using earnings averaged over the last eight years. Averaging, however, implies equal weights for each past year. We further enhance the premium by optimising the weights of the past years of earnings in constructing the P/E ratio.

BEIJING, May 12 -- In addition to enhancing domestic capacity to fight terrorism, it is vital for China to cut terrorists' international connections to win the battle, an anti-terrorism expert said in an article carried by the Monday edition of the People's Daily.
"The changing international environment was an important factor that led to China's worsening terror threats in such a short period," Zhang Jiadong with Fudan University said in the flagship newspaper of the Communist Party of China, referring to the latest string of terror attacks.
An explosion at a railway station in Urumqi, regional capital of northwest China's Xinjiang, on April 30 followed terrorist attacks at a train station in the southwestern city of Kunming in March and at China's iconic Tian'anmen Square in Beijing last October.
Zhang said the international terrorism tide has rippled across to China.
Citing a government report of the United States, he said five of the six countries most frequently hit by terror attacks in 2013 were China's neighbors, with more than 4,600 terror attacks occurring within their borders last year.
"Despite a relatively good security situation, it's difficult for China to stand aloof," he said.
Following the U.S. strategic shift from anti-terrorism to conventional security, terrorists gradually begin to expand their targets to countries other than the U.S., according to Zhang.
The conflicts between China's rise and anti-China forces also play their part in the mounting terror threats, he said.
The problem of "East Turkistan" separatist forces is actually a conspiracy of political organizations operating under the pretext of "democracy and human rights" and terrorism groups harboring religious extremism, according to Zhang.
"Terrorism is an international problem," he said. "Without the political, economic, technical and public opinion support abroad, terrorist groups usually cannot survive, let alone expand."
Zhang called for efforts to set up and consolidate anti-terror mechanisms, such as the regional anti-terrorist structure of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and proposed the establishment of an Asian anti-terror framework to enhance exchanges and coordination in the field.
He suggested China create a set of counter measures to give necessary warnings or even punitive responses to overseas organizations that unscrupulously support domestic terrorist forces, he said.
China should also take initiative to take part in international anti-terror cooperation because many anti-China terrorist forces base their leading organs and training bases abroad, Zhang said.

Any new word from the powers that be (cough Elizabeth cough :P) on the upcoming Ultimate Loot chest, Vault Hunter and Collector's edition for Borderlands 2 that was announced at PAX East? An announcement date? When can we preorder? Finale designs/content?
I've had my finger on the trigger to preorder since PAX but nothing yet...
A collectors edition would be awesome, but what would it include to make it a "collectors edition"
My friend, if you watched PAX East this past March, you would know they already announced/decided on what editions there will be. 2K and Gearbox plan on having 3 different editions. A limited edition (or collectors), a Vault Hunter edition and an "ultimate" loot chest edition.
I was just asking the powers that be if there is any new word on these editions, when we can preorder them and their final design/contents.
But good thing is they've already decided on some awesome editions. Well deserving...
So there would be weapons/ equipable items that only come from purchasing one of these preordered "collectors" editions?
No. Borderlands 2 will be like almost every other game release in the past several years: It will have bonus DLC content that comes with all standard AND collector's editions of the game. You don't have to buy a collector's edition to get the bonus DLC pack. But, the vault hunters and ultimate loot chest editions (which will be considered collector's editions) MAY have EXTRA DLC and bonus content in addition to the standard bonus content.
You can see what I mean by preorder bonus here:
Preorder bonuses generally do not cost extra and are just an incentive to preorder the game day 1.

The Audi TT RS: Sporty Powerhouse with Five Cylinders
Feb 24, 2009
- This top model will debut at the Geneva Auto Show
- Direct petrol injection and a turbocharger deliver far
more than 300PS - Top-notch chassis, big brakes, and quattro drivetrain
Audi is once again producing a five-cylinder powerhouse: the Audi TT RS will be unveiled to the world at the Geneva Auto Show. Its turbocharged 2.5-litre engine produces well above 300PS. It also delivers explosive acceleration, driving delight, and unrivalled sound.
A legend is reborn. After all, powerful five-cylinder gasoline engines have a long legacy at Audi. And the turbocharged direct-fuel-injection engine in the TT RS is the new torchbearer of this dynamic tradition. It enables the TT RS to perform extraordinary feats. For example, it needs nowhere near five seconds to reach 62mph; overtaking is child's play; and 155mph is the limited top speed only on paper.
The quattro permanent all-wheel drive system, a sophisticated chassis, and stupendous brakes keep a tight rein on the power. All in all, the compact TT RS – with its lightweight and largely aluminium body constructed as per the Audi Space Frame principle – is a driving machine to be reckoned with.

In April 1862 General Mitchell and General Buell tasked 22 volunteers (including 2 civilians) under the leadership of James Andrews, with a daring raid. The men, later known as "Andrews' Raiders" penetrated 200 miles into enemy territory to capture a railroad train at Big Shanty, Georgia. Their mission was to destroy vital railroad lines and bridges between Chattanooga and Atlanta to disrupt movement of Confederate soldiers and supplies. Only partially successful, their capture of the locomotive "The General" resulted in a nearly 100 mile race that became known as "The Great Locomotive Chase". Private Robertson was one of these raiders, traveling in a small group for four days to reach Big Shanty and then joining the reunited group in the daring sabotage mission. In the ensuing race, a limited amount of damage was accomplished to bridges and rail lines, and in the end all members of the Andrew's Raid were captured and confined in Confederate prisons. On June 7th James Andrews was hanged as a spy. On June 18th seven more raiders were hanged as spies, among them Private Robertson, one of the youngest of the raiders. |
In the 1950s Disney Studios released the movie "The Great Locomotive Chase" heralding the exploits of Andrews' Raiders. |

DescriptionResponsible for protecting his people, Uhtatse urges them to build houses in the sheltering cliffsides, but the Elders refuse. Uhtatse and his wife build such a house and when a new enemy becomes a threat, the Elders admit their people would be safer there. From their vantage point, they repel a Tsununni attack, inflicting such heavy losses on their enemy that they never again return. At the end of his long life, Uhtatse steps off the point from which his grieving wife cast herself, years before, after they lost their son.

Rebecca (Japanese: マナミ Manami) is a character of the day in the Pokémon anime.
Rebecca's only appearance came in The Punchy Pokémon. She tried to convince her father, Anthony, to come home, but he told her he wouldn't until he won the P1 Grand Prix. Brock, seeing how sad she was, volunteered himself and Ash to help defeat Anthony.
Team Rocket, using a stolen Hitmonlee nearly defeated Anthony. Rebecca, not wanting her father's Hitmonchan to get hurt, jumped into the ring. Anthony jumped in front of his daughter, and then gave up. Anthony then decided to return home to his family, making Rebecca happy again.

Channel surfing with the Watcher while waiting for our tickets to the Charlie Sheen tour to arrive ...
The show to watch this spring: AMC's "The Killing." We had high expectations going in, but they were exceeded the first night. It's the sort of gripping, emotionally honest drama we used to go to the movies for.
If you missed the two-hour pilot of "The Killing," it repeats at 8 p.m. Sunday in advance of the new episode at 10.
Two series for which we also had lofty hopes turned out to be less brilliant, but at least they are quite watchable.
Showtime's "The Borgias" gives us the lavish costumes and scenery that we expect in any historical spectacle, and the acting is solid. The script needs some work, although it feels like a series that will get better as the season goes on – the way "Rome" did. We'll definitely watch it again.
If you aren't a sword-and-sorcery fan, Starz's "Camelot" is unlikely to convert you. But if you enjoy the genre, you should be very happy. "Camelot" reminds us more of John Boorman's "Excalibur" than and of the more modern versions of the King Arthur legends. And that's a compliment.
Another nail in the well-sealed coffin of "Detroit 1-8-7": Its replacement, Dana Delany's new series, "Body of Proof," is slaying the competition in the time slot, even beating CBS's "The Good Wife." No way it won't be on Tuesdays at 10 this fall.
"Body of Proof" isn't a bad show, although it's nowhere near as good as "Detroit 1-8-7." It also isn't as good as "Rizzoli & Isles," the other series featuring a medical examiner/pinup model.
"Glee" is giving over another episode to the music of Lady Gaga, and seldom have a TV series and a contemporary music artist been so well suited for each other. The episode, which airs April 26, will be expanded to 90 minutes. The title: "Born This Way," of course.
If it weren't for "Top Chef," would Bravo be the worst channel on television? It would be a close call with the current champ, VH1. Bravo announced this week that it plans to roll out seven more of its signature boring docu-reality shows, although thankfully none of them is another "Real Housewives" franchise.

How to Find Under-Valued Small-Cap Stocks
Stamps.com (STMP) shareholders just saw their fortunes shoot up some 50%, as seen in a stock chart, on little more than an earnings surprise that made investors realize they'd underestimated the company. Since we all would love to replicate that windfall, YCharts looked at Stamps.com's pre-boom data for clues that might have alerted investors to the bargain. By applying those clues to the YCharts Stock Screener, we found some other small caps that Wall Street might be undervaluing.
Several notable data changes preceded the rise in Stamps.com, a profitable, $557.78 market cap company that gives its subscribers the ability to print postage on their own PC printers. Revenue growth was strong, although not as high as it had been in previous years. Financial problems at the U.S. Postal Service caused investors to worry about the comcpany's continued growth potential, pushing down share price valuations. Its PE ratio dropped from about 31 at the end of 2011 to about 13 just before April's earnings release. Its PE growth ratio was down to about 0.3. The bargain went away with the recent share price rise.
We set the YCharts Stock Screener to look for companies with market caps between $300 million and $2.0 billion, revenue growth of at least 5%, a historic PE ratio less than 12 and a forward PE of less than 15. (To eliminate some companies with serious issues, we added lower limits of 5 on the PE ratio screens.) We also set the Screener to exclude REITs. The result: 49 growing, profitable small caps with relatively low valuations to consider. Consider, for example Crocs (CROX) and Allied Air Worldwide (AAWW).
Crocs has come a long way from selling one ugly rubberized clog in the wholesale market. The company is now building hundreds of stores worldwide to sell a full line of resin footwear. A lot of investors pulled out of Croc last year on worries that economic conditions in Japan and Europe were not good for new shoe stores there. But the company still typically produces double-digit revenue growth, and analyst forecasts call for nearly 11% in revenue growth this year.
CROX Revenue Quarterly YoY Growth data by YCharts
The pull-out last year created lower share price valuations that eventually won back investors, as seen in a stock chart, although Croc shares still trade at a modest 12 times forward earnings. Its share price has risen about 21% so far this year.
Atlas Air Worldwide was a more popular investment back when the military needed lots help lugging cargo and personnel to war sites around the world. When the defense business started dropping off last year, so did the company's share price. Its forward PE ratio was below 8 earlier this year, and even with a recent share price rise, it remains below 10.
AAWW PE Ratio TTM data by YCharts
A significant earnings beat earlier this month gave some confidence to Atlas Air's peace-era prospects. (The company leases planes and crews to cargo services companies, like British Airways' cargo operations and DHL Express.) Several funds took positions in the company last quarter, including Oakmark Equity and Income and Harris Associates Equity and Income. Revenue growth is forecast at a modest 7.8% this year. But the company has a new fleet now, and the better fuel efficiency and lower maintenance costs are expected to boost profit margins.
The bonanza at Stamps.com came because investors realized that the market had overestimated the size of its problems. (Turns out USPS doesn't have to make money for Stamps.com to succeed.) Its low share valuation made that understanding actionable. The charts can find the companies with growth and low valuations. A little digging into the companies' stories determines if their low share prices are true bargains or merely justified. If we'd done this a month ago, we probably would have found Stamps.com.

Only stayed one night for early departure from BWI. Super convenient and close to the airport.
Check In- Quick but the lady was not really friendly and could use hospitality refresh course. No smiles but I assume she was already on the defense because the King I had booked was oversold. Which honestly I didn't care since it was just a one night stay.
Rooms - very comfortable rooms! Personally, I found the beds uber comfortable. I slept well and no airport noise, which was my initial concern. Loved it! Amenities were great, microwave and fridge and most importantly, clean.
Wifi - not the best but not the worst.
Overall - for the purpose of my stay, it was good enough. I would absolutely recommend this hotel.
Did not have breakfast due to super early departure. They do offer round the clock coffee/tea at front desk.

If you don't mind help from a portal mesmer, the Skipping Stones jp in Southsun is quite doable right now. One of the achievements for the Southsun event is located on the oblong island just past the end of that jp. Depending on the population of your server, checking in /map chat should yield a mesmer willing to portal players up to the island.
Fawcett's Revenge is also a fairly easy one since it basically calls for you to get just inside the jp entrance and fall to your (toon) death
King Jalis's Refuge is also not too bad, imo.
Also, depending on server and time you're on, there are likely to be zergs farming two events in Southsun. They're running in a circle from Kiel's Outpost to the unnamed outpost on the edge of the gyser plain (where all the reef riders are). With a decent sized group of farmers, the champions for the two events go down in a few minutes. Add in any other random defend/escort quests the zerg runs across, it's not too hard to get the monthly events in a decent amount of time.
