Bill Snyder: Money-driven college football is 'in a bad place'
Kansas State's Bill Snyder said his sport's priorities are out of whack.
In comments made to The Star and Metro Sports before the KC Catbackers Club meeting Tuesday in Overland Park, and to KCSP (610 AM) in an interview aired Wednesday morning, Snyder said college football "was in a bad place."
"We've allowed it to be TV-driven, and allowed it to become more important to a university than it should be," Snyder said. "We're educational institutions, and what's really important is trying to enhance the lives of young people and give them guidance and direction to help themselves."
In the radio interview, Snyder was asked if the game's state would have an impact on his future, if "he wants to be in it much longer."
Snyder's response: "You're not too far away. You're absolutely right."
He also said he was "grossly overpaid for what I do. That's part of what creates the issue." Snyder signed a new five-year contract worth $14.75 million in January.
But Snyder said the problems aren't unsolvable.
"It's like anything else, it can correct itself," Snyder said.
Snyder, whose Wildcats are coming off a Big 12 championship season, is expected to be back in Kansas City on Friday to accept the Burns & McDonnell Coach of the Year Award at the Kansas City Sports Commission Banquet.

Redmon 2011 Blended Cabernet
Cart Total: $0.00
Vintage: | 2011 |
Wine Style: | Red Wine |
Varietal: | Cabernet Sauvignon |
Appellation: | Napa Valley |
Harvest Date: | September 20, 2011 |

The foundation of this elegant wine was grown on a small block of organically farmed cabernet sauvignon. Located in Rutherford, the vineyard is nestled just along the tree line at the edge of the western valley floor. The gentle slope to the west protects the ripening fruit from the hot afternoon sun allowing for slower, consistent ripening of each fruit cluster. Smaller lots of merlot and cabernet franc were hand sorted and fermented to balance and complement this rock solid, organic blend.
Some things really do seem to taste better when they are bigger! ! 2011 Blended Cabernet consists of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Merlot. The color is opaque dark purple core fading to a red rim. The aromas and flavors of rose hips, boysenberry, red currant, tart cherry and black plum blend seamlessly with the classic Cabernet Franc attributed blueberry, and a ripe raspberry coming from the Merlot. Hints of allspice, anise, dark chocolate, and cedar rounds off this approachable wine. Distinct loamy minerality comes from the rich soils of the Rutherford bench.

More bodies turn up in Veracruz gang war
Ten more bodies have been found in the Mexican Gulf coast city of Veracruz, just a week after authorities found another 32 cadavers stashed in two homes, authorities said Saturday.
"The bodies of seven people" were located late Friday stacked in the back of a pickup truck, a state government communique said Saturday. Hours later, it said, three more bodies were found tossed in the street of a nearby neighborhood.
Veracruz, on the steamy Gulf of Mexico coast, has been thrust into the spotlight in just a matter of weeks as yet another city gripped by the bloodshed of Mexico's drug cartel wars.
On Thursday, 32 bodies were found in two homes in the Boca del Rio neighborhood. That staggering find came two weeks after 35 bodies were found September 20 on a busy public underpass in the city.
Authorities on Friday detained eight members of the "Zeta Killers" gang blamed for at least 67 recent killings in Veracruz.
Officials said those detained also belonged to the 'New Generation' drug gang, which is believed to be linked to rivals of the Zetas, including Mexico's powerful Sinaloa drug cartel led by billionaire fugitive Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman.
Set up in the 1990s by ex-elite soldiers turned hired killers for the Gulf gang, the Zetas have been blamed for an upsurge in violence this year in Veracruz, including the killings of three marines.
The death toll in Mexico's drug wars for the first nine months of this year alone hit 10,000, a tally by the newspaper Reforma found. The deadliest states were Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon, Guerrero and Sinaloa, it found.
Some 41,000 people have been killed since Mexico launched a major crackdown in 2006 against powerful drug gangs which are themselves locked in brutal turf wars over lucrative trade routes from Central America to the United States.

text: More importantly, Galloway brings the uncool question of morality back into critical thinking. In a last-chapter rundown of his theses on protocol, Galloway writes that "protocol is a universalism achieved through negotiation, meaning that in the future protocol can and will be different." As an evolving system, protocol "ultimately becomes the blueprint for humanity's innermost desires about the world and how it ought to be lived." When asked why one would assume that such desires would necessarily be socially progressive, Galloway laughs. "Well, I'm a Marxist, so I think they are!" he replies. "At the end of the day, one has to have an ethical grounding." In Protocol's final paragraph, he poses this sentiment as an unanswered question: "Do we want the Web to function like a market economy? Can we imagine future technological solutions that fulfill our social desires more fully than protocol can?"

we should just stick to our current system of paying stupid people to have 3 times as many children as smart people. ™
Foreign aid propegates more need for foreign aid. Social welfare propegates more need for social welfare. No denying that.
You tell yourself that you're anti-eugenics, all the while you support our government policy of paying stupid people to breed much faster than smart people. The fact of the matter is you are pro-eugenics, but only so long as it makes the species dumber.
If people got paid to have kids, wouldn't the real "stupid" people be the ones that chose not to have any?
Smart people aren't tinkering with the genetic makeup of humanity to make humanity dumber. It's easier to motivate stupid people to do stupid things. ™
I didn't know dumb people got more money per kid. Is that why you pretend to be dumb? You do just pretend, right?
Your dumb assumptions are dumb. The policy object isn't eugenics, and you have no proof that the people being given assistance are stupid, or that the ones on assistance that are stupid are the ones that are breeding more than the smart but disadvantaged ones, or the smart but lazy ones. Or that they breed faster. I'm pretty sure welfare doesn't speed up pregnancy length.
Intentions don't matter. Results do, and the results are eugenics. I don't have to prove what no one disputes. Having kids at a 3-1 ratio is faster. You're being intentionally obtuse. ™
Eugenics is an applied plan. This is not. Learn meanings of words. Disputed in umpteenth threads of your dumb. Now prove it. That is breeding more, not faster. Again, learn meanings of words.
/sematicsfail You are avoiding being specific. Say what it is you believe isn't true. /sematicsfail ™
Younger, more frequently, and longer. Having 1 child during a 20 year period of fertility is 1 per 20 years. Having 3 children during a 20 year period of fertility is 1 per 6.667 years. Faster. ™
Paul eugenics threads always make me laugh. If paying people to have kids is eugenics than practically everything is eugenics. Taking care of orphans rather than letting them die in the streets is eugenics! The strong would survive and the weak would perish! Having firefighters is a eugenics program! Smart people would die in fires less often! Laws against fraud are eugenics! Smart people wouldn't get fooled!
You apparently agree with my point: everything is eugenics! We should abolish fraud laws and firefighters and taking care of orphans because it makes the species dumber!
I didn't say that. I think we need to take into account the consequences of our choices. If we make a choice which will inevitably have negative consequences for the genetic makeup of the species, then we need to have a plan to deal with that. You want to make choices to deal with certain problems, but then you don't want any responsibility for the unintended consequences. For most problems, there are solutions that don't create the same unintended consequences. ™
So, for example, we could keep firefighters, but only have them protect the houses of rich (and therefore smart) people? Maybe we could only make it a crime to kill someone with a net worth above a certain amount?
Those would be particularly stupid ways to address the problem. They would have other unintended consequences that would be worse than the current solution. ™
So we agree that if by "eugenics" you mean "anything that has any effect on anything" then something being eugenics doesn't really say much about its worth. Glad we cleared all that up. These threads make a lot moe sense when you realize that you calling something eugenics means basically nothing at all.
Yes, I agree with that. The worth is the worth independent of how it is derived. I've said all along I'm not opposed to eugenics and that I think the term gets an unfairly bad rap. Congratulation on finally realizing what I spelled out explicitly from the start. ™
Yeah. I was thinking you had a point somewhere you were trying to make. It really cleared things up when I realized you didn't.
People reject my plans on the basis of my plans involving positive eugenics. All the while those same people applaud their own plans that involve negative eugenics. If you're okay with eugenics in your own plans, then it's not a valid objection to my plans. ™
By your definition anything anyone does is eugenics. If you define eugenics to be anything at all that affects human beings there doesn't seem to be any point being made. People object to eugenics because they assume you mean something by the term.
Not everything is eugenics. Just the things that affect the genetic makeup of the species in significant ways. For example, paying dumb people to have three times as many children as smart people. ™
Or having firefighters. Or feeding orphans. Or making sure that food is correctly labelled. Or having laws against murdering people. Or laws mandating you stop at stop signs and red lights. All of these things and thousands more are apparently eugenics under your definition. Making the definition so wide as to be pretty much pointless.
It would have been real simple for Paul to just look up the word in a dictionary, but then he'd ruin multiple threads of his across years. He just doesn't want to mess with that legacy of dumb.
Actually it is linked to the opportunity presented to the woman, not intelligence. This has been told to you like a bazillion times already but you remain ignorant.

Announcing HP Threat Central security intelligence platform
Today's IT Security comes with far more sophisticated challenges than in the past. Attacks are more complex, and with those attacks, we need faster and more effective responses. Today, enterprises spend an exorbitant amount of time and effort on repeat attacks, using information models that are manual/slow, and produce intel that is simply not actionable. So how can we fix the problem? This is all possible with real-time, scalable, comprehensive and trustworthy threat-information sharing.
With these goals in mind, HP has developed HP Threat Central (HPTC), a platform for organizations to share threat intelligence securely, confidentially and in real-time. The advantages of HPTC are:
- Harnesses the power of community
- Quickly and precisely shares threat intel to identify and mitigate advanced attacks
- Disseminates detection indicators and mitigating actions
- Provides a global view of the threat landscape by combining and analyzing data from varied sources
Automated collaboration helps detect attacks faster and more accurately. Additional context is revealed that was not possible before which helps customers prioritize their resources and security budget. A recent study was done where an attack was researched without HPTC and with HPTC. The findings were impressive. In both processes, the user receives a suspicious email, forwards it to the SOC for investigation, and the SOC Analyst creates an incident and begins the investigation. Next:
Without HPTC, 14 steps are required:
- SOC Analysts inspects the headers of the e-mail and finds suspicious artifacts
- SOC Analyst inspects the body of the e-mail and finds additional artifacts
- The SOC Analyst utilizes URLquery to do an initial remote inspection of the referenced file download location
- The URL query report shows the website by itself is not malicious
- The SOC Analyst downloads the zip file via a secure Linux based sandbox
- The SOC Analyst does an MD5 Sum of the zip archive.
- The SOC Analyst unpacks the ZIP file and receives a .scr file
- The SOC Analyst does an MD5 and SSdeep of the scr.file
- Not having dedicated tools, the SOC Analyst uploads the SCR file to designated websites. The returned reports are not conclusive.
- Virus Total reports that the file in question is detected by 10 out of 46 antivirus products
- The SOC Analyst then downloads the packet capture and the dropped files
- The SOC Analyst advises the proxy team to block the known hosts
- The SOC Analyst creates support tickets with the existing AV vendor to create antivirus patterns for this instance and continues the investigation into the dropped files and the recommended mitigation
- Eventually AV pattern are released and the SOC Analyst can brief the User and afterwards close the specific case
With HP Threat Central, a third of the steps are required:
- SOC Analysts inspects the headers of the e-mail and finds suspicious artifacts
- The SOC Analyst queries HPTC for the MD5 sum of the archive or the file and, in return, receives the following information:
Malware report from open source connections
Domains and IP addresses in question
Related MD5 sums
Antivirus reports
Related IPS filters
Suggested correlation rules
3. The SOC Analyst queries for an IP address or DNS entry from the malicious email and receives the following results:
Known reputation entries for the IP address and DNS
Related IPS filters
Malware report references
Correlation to related threat intelligence (such as known actors and TTPs)
4. The analyst implements the appropriate block rules to mitigate the threat (such as reputation blocking, IPS filters, firewall rules) and adds a new watch list – all from automated actions on the HPTC console.
5. The analyst closes the ticket.
As shown, HP Threat Central offers crucial advantages that include a single dashboard for global and local threat intelligence, improved response times, and vetted, actionable information. By collaborating via HPTC, a more complete picture of the attack can be quickly surfaced and the threat remediated.
For an in-depth look at the case for a collaborative approach, read the Collaborative Defense business white paper. And stay abreast of latest developments at hp.com/go/hpsr.

Duke tops Creighton 66-50
PHILADELPHIA — Rasheed Sulaimon scored 21 points, Seth Curry scored had 17 and No. 2 seed Duke held off seventh-seeded Creighton 66-50 on Sunday to advance to the round of 16 for the fourth time in five years.
A year after they lost their NCAA tournament opener, the Blue Devils (29-5) are back in the regional semifinal for the 23rd time. They'll play No. 3 seed Michigan State (27-8) in the regional semifinal Friday in Indianapolis.
Mason Plumlee, Josh Hariston and Ryan Kelly battled foul trouble all game long that could have doomeed the Blue Devils. Creighton (28-8) went cold and never made a serious run in the second half. Doug McDermott scored 21 points but made only four baskets.
With McDermott slumping, the Bluejays were knocked out in the third round by an ACC team for the second straight season.
West Region
No. 2 Ohio State beats Iowa State 78-75 on late 3
DAYTON, Ohio — Aaron Craft dribbled in place at the top of the arc, watching to see if any of his Ohio State teammates were getting open near the basket for a game-winning shot.
Nothing there.
The point guard had a clear look at the clock as it raced toward zero atop the backboard. He realized what he had to do — take a little Ohio State tournament history into his hands.
Craft held the ball until he had no other choice, then swished a 3-pointer with a half-second left Sunday for a 78-75 victory over Iowa State, sending the Buckeyes to a school-record fourth straight trip to the round of 16.
No. 2 Ohio State had managed to escape as the lone high seed left in the NCAA tournament's most-busted bracket.
"The moment's a lot bigger than me," said Craft, who had allowed Iowa State to catch up with missed free throws and an errant jumper. "It just happened to be in my hands at the end."
Ohio State (28-7) needed Craft's fearless shot — over 6-foot-7 defender Georges Niang — to avoid yet another upset in the oh-so-wild West Regional. Four of the top five seeds fell fast and hard in the first weekend.
The Buckeyes' 10th straight win sent them to Los Angeles for a game on Thursday against sixth-seeded Arizona.
Garland's late shot leads La Salle to round of 16
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tyrone Garland banked home a scooping layup with 2 seconds left and 13th-seeded La Salle beat Mississippi 76-74 on Sunday, vaulting the Explorers to their deepest run in the NCAA tournament since they played for the championship in 1955.
Ramon Galloway had 24 points for La Salle (24-9), which was playing its third game in five days. No. 12 Ole Miss (27-9) led 74-72 with 1:58 left but failed to reach the regional semifinals for the first time since 2001.
After Tyreek Duren's two foul shots tied it 74-all at the 1:07 mark, Marshall Henderson failed to hit an off-balance bank shot that would have given Mississippi the lead.

The Second Czechoslovak Republic (Czech / Slovak: Česko-Slovenská republika), sometimes also called the Czech-Slovak Republic,[1] existed for 169 days, between 30 September 1938 and 15 March 1939. It was composed of Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and the autonomous regions of Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia.
The Second Republic was the result of the events following the Munich Agreement, where Czechoslovakia was forced to cede the German-populated Sudetenland region to Germany on October 1, 1938, as well as southern parts of Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia to Hungary. After the Munich Agreement and the German government making clear to foreign diplomats that Czechoslovakia was now a German client state, the Czechoslovak government attempted to curry favour with Germany by banning the country's Communist Party, suspending all Jewish teachers in German educational institutes in Czechoslovakia, and enacted a law to allow the state to take over Jewish companies.[2] In addition, the government allowed the country's banks to effectively come under German-Czechoslovak control.[2]
The Czechoslovak Republic was dissolved when Germany invaded it on 15 March 1939 and annexed the Czech region into the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. On the same day as the German occupation, the President of Czechoslovakia, Emil Hácha was appointed by the German government as the State President of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia which he held throughout the war.
The Czechoslovak Republic had become a shell of its former self and was now a greatly weakened state. The Munich Agreement had resulted in Bohemia and Moravia losing about 38% of their combined area to Germany, with some 3.2 million German and 750,000 Czech inhabitants. Lacking its natural frontier and having lost its costly system of border fortification, the new state was militarily indefensible. Hungary received 11,882 square kilometres in southern Slovakia and southern Ruthenia; according to a 1941 census, about 86.5% of the population in this territory was Hungarian. Poland acquired the town of Těšín with the surrounding area (some 906 km², some 250,000 inhabitants, mostly Poles) and two minor border areas in northern Slovakia, more precisely in the regions Spiš and Orava. (226 km², 4,280 inhabitants, only 0.3% Poles). Moreover, the Czechoslovak government had problems in taking care of the 115,000 Czech and 30,000 German refugees, who had fled to the remaining rump of Czechoslovakia.
The political system of the country was also in chaos. Following the resignation of Edvard Beneš on October 5, General Jan Syrový had acted as President until Emil Hácha was chosen as President on November 30, 1938. Hácha was chosen because of his Catholicism and conservatism and because of not being involved in any government that led to the partition of the country. He appointed Rudolf Beran, the leader of the Agrarian Party since 1933, as prime minister on December 1, 1938. He was, unlike most Agrarians, rather rightist, and sceptical of liberalism and democracy. The Communist Party was dissolved, although its members were allowed to remain in Parliament. Tough censorship was introduced, and an Enabling Act was also introduced, which allowed the government to rule without parliament.
Ethnic tensions[edit]
The greatly weakened Czechoslovak Republic was forced to grant major concessions to the non-Czechs. Following the Munich Agreement, the Czechoslovak army transferred parts of its units, originally in the Czech lands, to Slovakia, meant to counter the obvious Hungarian attempts to revise the Slovak borders.
The Czechoslovak government accepted the Žilina Agreement stipulating the formation of an autonomous Slovak government with all Slovak parties except the Social Democrat on 6 October 1938. Jozef Tiso was nominated as its head. The only common ministries that remained were those of National Defence, Foreign Affairs and Finances. As part of the deal, the country officially adopted the short-form name of Czecho-Slovakia.
Similarly, the two major factions in Subcarpathian Ruthenia, the Russophiles and Ukrainophiles, agreed on the establishment of an autonomous government, which was constituted on 8 October 1938. Reflecting the spread of modern Ukrainian national consciousness, the pro-Ukrainian faction, led by Avhustyn Voloshyn, gained control of the local government and Subcarpathian Ruthenia was renamed Carpatho-Ukraine.
On 17 October, Ferdinand Ďurčanský, Franz Karmasin and Alexander Mach were received by Adolf Hitler. On 1 January 1939 the Slovak State Assembly was opened. On 18 January the first elections of the Slovak Assembly took place, where the Slovak People's Party received 98% of the votes. On 12 February, Vojtech Tuka and Karmazin met with Adolf Hitler, and on 22 February Tiso proposed the formation of an autonomous Slovak state during his presentation of the Slovak Government to the assembly. On February 27 the Slovak government asked the central government for the Slovakisation of the Czecho-Slovak army units stationed in Slovakia and for Slovak ambassadors and consuls to be named as representatives of the autonomous Slovak state.
Disputes continued and, on 1 March 1939, the Ministerial Committee of the Czecho-Slovak government met, where the question of Slovak departure from the state was in focus. There were some disagreement between Tiso and other Slovak politicians, and Karol Sidor (who had represented the Slovak government in the meeting) returned to Bratislava to discuss the matter with Tiso. and on March 6 the Slovak government proclaimed its loyalty to the Czecho-Slovak Republic and its wish to remain a part of the state.
However, in a meeting with Hermann Göring on 7 March Ďurčanský and Tuka were pressed to declare their autonomy from the Czecho-Slovak state. After their return two days later, the Hlinka Guard was mobilised, which in turn forced the Czecho-Slovak President, Emil Hácha, to react strongly and declared martial law in Slovakia.
Division of Czechoslovakia[edit]
In January 1939, negotiations between Germany and Poland broke down. Hitler scheduled a German invasion of Bohemia and Moravia for the morning of 15 March. In the interim, he negotiated with the Slovak People's Party and with the Kingdom of Hungary and its representatives for the Hungarian minority in Slovakia to prepare the dismemberment of the Second Czechoslovak Republic before the invasion. On 13 March he invited Monsignore Jozef Tiso to Berlin, where he offered Tiso the option of proclaiming the Slovak state and seceding from Czecho-Slovakia. In such a case, Germany would be Slovakia's protector and would not allow the Hungarians to press on Slovakia any additional territorial demands. If the Slovaks declined, Germany would occupy Bohemia and Moravia and disinterest himself in Slovakia's fate—in effect, leaving the Slovaks to the mercies of the Hungarians and the Poles (Poland had claimed the Slovak Spiš territory since the Polish-Czechoslovak War). During the meeting, Joachim von Ribbentrop passed on a (false) report saying that Hungarian troops were approaching Slovak borders. Tiso refused to make such a decision himself, after which he was allowed by Hitler to organize a meeting of the Slovak parliament ("Diet of the Slovak Land"), which would approve Slovakia's independence.
On 14 March, the Slovak parliament convened and heard Tiso's report on his discussion with Hitler as well as a declaration of independence. Some of the deputies were sceptical of making such a move, but the debate was quickly quashed when Karmasin announced that any delay in declaring independence would result in Slovakia being divided between Hungary and Germany. Under these circumstances, Parliament unanimously declared Slovak independence, and Tiso was appointed the first Prime Minister of the new republic. The next day, Tiso sent a telegram (which had actually been composed the previous day in Berlin) asking the Reich to take over the protection of the newly minted state. The request was readily accepted.[3]
Meanwhile, Czechoslovak president Emil Hácha was summoned to a meeting with Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring during the early hours of 15 March, and informed Hácha of the imminent German invasion plan. Here Hácha was threatened with aerial bombardment of Prague[4] unless he signed a document accepting the capitulation of the Czechoslovak Army and the foundation of a Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia under the protection and supremacy of the German Reich. After several strokes, he was forced to sign the document even though he did not consult the parliament beforehand.
On the morning of 15 March, German troops entered Bohemia and Moravia, meeting no resistance. The Hungarian invasion of Carpatho-Ukraine did encounter resistance but the Hungarian army quickly crushed it. On 16 March, Hitler went to Czechoslovakia and from Prague Castle proclaimed the new Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
Thus, independent Czechoslovakia collapsed in the wake of foreign aggression, ethnic divisions and internal tensions. Subsequently, interwar Czechoslovakia has been idealized by its proponents as the only bastion of democracy surrounded by authoritarian and fascist regimes. It has also been condemned by its detractors as an artificial, Czech-dominated and unworkable creation of intellectuals supported by the great victorious powers of the First World War, notably France and the British Empire. Interwar Czechoslovakia comprised lands and peoples that were far from being integrated into a modern nation-state. Moreover, the dominant Czechs, who had suffered political discrimination under the Habsburgs, were not able to cope with the demands of other nationalities. In fairness to the Czechs, it should be acknowledged that some of the minority demands and perceived persecution of ethnic Germans served as mere pretexts to justify intervention by Nazi Germany. Considering that Czechoslovakia was able to maintain a viable economy and a democratic political system under such circumstances was indeed a remarkable achievement during the interwar period.

Ebola Enters the United States
An experimental drug may have saved two missionaries battling the Ebola Virus, plus more global news. – Nicole Phillip
The Ebola virus entered the country for the first time as an American doctor becomes one of two infected persons to receive treatment in the United States. Dr. Kent Brantley will be treated in a separate unit of Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Experts don't believe Ebola will be a threat to the country while the two patients undergo treatment. Though there is no cure, doctors can help provide the best situation for the body to naturally fight off the virus. The World Health Organization says the death toll from Ebola has grown from 729 to 887 in recent days. (Photo: AP Photo/JPS Health Network)

Still glxgears is the wrong way to do this, because just running a DRI2 driver has an negative impact on glxgears, while real apps tend to be faster/not impacted.
glxgears just renders a very simply frame as often as possible so _any_ additional work could have a great impact on it.
So if you want to test the impact just use any real app.
It would be close to zero if measurable at all.

WebKit violates the specification, and the test correctly tests for that violation. (Gecko used to fail this test as well, with a different implementation of "darker".)

As a potentially profitable opportunity presents itself, John will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what should be bought, when to buy it, and at what price. This is your chance to 'look over' John Thomas' shoulder as he gives you unparalleled insight on major world financial trends BEFORE they happen.
Trade Alert - (UAL)
Buy the United Continental Holdings (UAL) April, 2013 $27-$30 call spread at $2.74 or best
Opening Trade
expiration date: 4-19-2012
Portfolio weighting: 10%
Number of Contracts = 36 contracts
The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep in-the-money spread trades can be enormous. Don't execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit.
Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices only. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
Here are the specific trades you need to execute this position:
Buy 36 April, 2013 (UAL) $27 calls at……………$5.50
Sell Short 36 April, 2013 (UAL) $30 calls at.…….$2.76
Net Cost:………………………………...……..…....$2.74
Profit: $3.00 - $2.74 = $0.26
($0.26 X 100 X 36) = $936 – 0.94% for the notional $100,000 model portfolio.

Sweeney (Pick Your Poison) launches the Cats in Trouble mystery series with a meandering whodunit. Jillian Hart is content making and selling cat quilts and living quietly in Mercy, S.C., with her three cats, Syrah, Chablis and Merlot. When Syrah is catnapped, Jillian finds not only the thief-thanks to a state-of-the-art alarm system installed by charming PI Tom Stewart-but also a murder mystery to solve. The cats are entertaining four-legged assistants, with traits like Chablis's human allergy and Merlot's ninja-style defensive tactics. Jillian's quirky neighbors also liven up the thin plot, particularly Tom, whose knack with alarms and computers comes in handy, and flamboyant deputy coroner Lydia Monk. Kitty-lovers will enjoy the feline trivia, but readers looking for a complex mystery will chafe at the slow pace and last-minute revelations.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

This trial is designed to provide evidence of the efficacy of glutathione supplementation and health(GSH) and includes the assessment of both short term and long term effects. Based on previous laboratory animal studies and clinical data, the investigators anticipate that the effects of oral GSH supplementation will be progressive and cumulative. The study will also allow for the evaluation of effects of withdrawal of the supplement on the outcome variables.

Detailed Description:
This is a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study in which the treatment allocations will be kept sealed until the final statistical evaluation. The design will include the recruitment of 60 healthy subjects (30-79 yr of age) randomized into 3 groups. A total of 48 subjects, 16 per group will be required based upon power calculations and results from a previous clinical trial with selenium. An additional 4 subjects per group will be placed on trial to account for possible attrition or non-compliance. Blood, urine and exfoliated buccal mucosal samples will be obtained from all subjects at baseline. Questionnaire data on usual dietary intake will also be obtained at baseline. Eligible subjects will be required to have not have taken any high dose antioxidant supplements for at least 1 month prior to the study. Subjects will then begin supplementation according to the following schedule:
Group A, GSH (500 mg, 2 times daily); Group B, GSH (125 mg, 2 times daily); Group C, placebo (2 times daily). Eligible participants who sign the informed consent will be randomly assigned to either placebo or high or low dose Glutathione groups. Participants will be asked not to consume any other high-dose vitamin, multi-vitamin, or mineral supplements containing glutathione throughout the study in order to prevent variation in dose of supplemental GSH between subjects. Supplementation will continue for 6 months with biological samples collected at 1, 3 and 6 months after baseline. At 6 months, supplementation will be discontinued. A final collection of biological samples will occur 1 month afterwards. Compliance will be monitored by pill count.
Levels of glutathione will be measured in plasma, lymphocytes, and red blood cells as well as in exfoliated buccal mucosal cells. Biomarkers of oxidative stress will include blood levels of glutathionylated proteins and 8-isoprostanes and urine levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine. Glutamylcystine ligase and GST activities, and C-reactive protein will be determined in blood. Immune function biomarkers will be analyzed including t-natural killer cell cytotoxicity, lymphoproliferation, neutrophils phagocytosis, neutrophil respiratory burst assays.

This is mainly a campground for permanent mostly park model type homes. Although there are lots of non park model permanent homes. There are some transient RV sites available. One of these is where we stayed. They call it a 'resort'..don't think so and they say 4 star..not a chance. The site was so unlevel that even with our jacks down that we felt we were walking up hill for 2 days. The utility pole was almost falling over. There was trash in our fire pit, an empty beer bottle on our site. There was only 30 amp so we had to juggle our electricity input as it was hot and we needed to run both A/C's. There was no Wi-Fi throughout the park, only at the office, no cable. Getting in and out was tricky with our 38 foot rig. I have written a letter to the management. We will NOT be returning. We camped at Bailey's Bay Resort in a Motorhome.

Emulator technology in engineering design
UNSPECIFIED. (1999) Emulator technology in engineering design. PROCEEDINGS OF THE INSTITUTION OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS PART B-JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING MANUFACTURE, 213 (3). pp. 305-309. ISSN 0954-4054
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Emulator technology is the methodology that replaces simulators in engineering design by surrogate models, sometimes called meta-models. The methodology has three distinct stages: data capture, modelling and optimization. Space-filling experimental designs are used to gather information; then specialized adaptive models, derived from statistical principles, are used to emulate the system. The advantage of emulators is that they run many times faster than the simulators, which means they can be used in multi-domain environments for multi-objective optimization. This is generally not possible using the simulators themselves due to the computational burden. Emulator technology should be considered as part of the general data-capture and modelling environment within industry.

Counties containing no TV transmitters sites
Unless anyone knows different, I think that Rutland may be the only "traditional" county (by which I mean putting Unitary Authority areas within the counties they were originally part of) to contain no TV transmission sites (Rutland being covered by Waltham, not far away but in Leicestershire). Any offers?
I was going to suggest Cambridgeshire (including Peterborough) but looking into this the Stamford relay appears to be just within the Peterborough (ex-Cambridgeshire, ex-Huntingdonshire, ex-Northamptonshire) boundary, maybe by only a few feet, rather than in Lincolnshire. Otherwise, since Channel 5 analogue from Madingley for the Cambridge area closed at DSO, Cambridgeshire (with Peterborough) is again served by out-of-county transmitters, Sandy Heath (Bedfordshire), plus Waltham (Leicestershire) and Belmont (Lincolnshire). Back in 405-line VHF days there was of course the BBC's Peterborough main station (on Morborne Hill, which is not many yards from Northamptonshire) and its Cambridge (Newmarket Road) relay. |

West Lothian, the nearest transmitter being just outside the county at Black Hill in Lanarkshire; East Lothian would have fallen into this catgeory too had it not been for the Haddington relay which is fed from Black Hill.
For completeness neighbouring Midlothian has two relays at Newbattle and Penicuik while Edinburgh has one relay at Canongate, all fed from Craigkelly. |

Is Angus the only transmitter named after a county? I guess they didn't like Balcalk Hill It's sometimes referred to as Craigowl or Tealing, I think.

Deborah Day, the Scripps archivist, suggested a possible answer to this question. The prelude to many key MG&G experiments was the development of a new technology—Woods Hole' s Alvin, Scripps' ocean bottom seismometers, Lamont's airguns, swath mapping systems, and so forth. The Navy tended to take the lead in instrument development in MG&G, but once the technology was proven, NSF would support the science programs that used the technology. In a few cases, successful science programs initiated by ONR would be continued by NSF. It is possible that into the 1970s, ONR was still getting credit for programs it had started but handed off to NSF.
With some exceptions, NSF's decision-making process of judgment by our peers has not been a good source of "venture capital" in MG&G. Rather, the community found this venture capital at ONR, from industry, and from the discretionary funds of institute directors. NSF was quick to support the successful venture, and make them pay off.
One place in which NSF clearly set a policy direction different from that of ONR was in the encouragement of international collaborations. Initially through the International Geophysical Year (IGY), and later via the International Decade of Ocean Exploration (IDOE), U.S. investigators were encouraged to invite foreign colleagues to the United States with travel support from NSF. This sort of attitude would have been uncharacteristic for an agency like ONR responsible for maintaining a competitive advantage in U.S. science for the sake of national security.
In the area of MG&G, the international program that has had the greatest impact has been the Deep Sea Drilling Program (DSDP) and its successors. Because this is the topic of another paper (see paper by Winterer, this volume), I mention here a few of the highlights. DSDP sampled the basal sediments in Leg 3 along a magnetic-profile in the South Atlantic that established beyond a shadow of a doubt that the seafloor just beneath was indeed the age predicted by the Vine-Matthews hypothesis. The ocean drilling program developed the hydraulic piston corer that became the mainstay for sampling thick, continuous sequences in areas of high sedimentation rate in order to investigate climate change on orbital and suborbital time scales. DSDP and its successors established repositories for logging data and cores and thick volumes of results. It set the standard for interna

My Mother's Keeper: The Eye Doctor Appointment
By Beverly Bernstein Joie, MS, CMC
For the past several years, my step-sister had been taking my mom to see the ophthalmologist. They had their routine; Cindy would drop her off for the appointment and then pick her up after it. Then, last spring, Mom called to ask if I could step in because Cindy was unavailable to help her. I was actually pleased that I would have the opportunity to see what the doctor had to say.
As a private geriatric care manager, I spend my professional life guiding families through the often twisted, treacherous journey that aging parents and their frantic children share. Often families are separated by distance and it's my job to be their eyes and ears – an advocate for their parents and a source of support for their caregiving children. Here I was beginning the journey myself, though I admit that I didn't know it at the time.
I sat through the eye exam with Mom and it seemed fairly routine. Then the doctor said to her, "You know, Mrs. Fastman, as I have been saying for the last three years, you should not be driving." I almost fell through the floor, overwhelmed by a wild array of feelings. I recall panic, fear, anger, and embarrassment, to name a few. Here I was, a care manager whose own mom had slipped through the cracks. As I recall, the ensuing conversation went something like this:
Beverly: So doctor, what is the reason that my mom should not be driving?
Doctor: It's the cataracts! Once they are removed, she should be okay.
Beverly: And how long did you say this has been going on?
Doctor: It's been the last three years.
Beverly: Did you report this to the Department of Motor Vehicles?
Doctor: No.
Beverly (to Mom): Tell me why you never mentioned the doctor's position before.
Mom: Bevy, he never told me until today that I had cataracts! You know, I can't understand why he keeps playing with the eye chart to make it hard for me to see! I see just fine. (Yes, it really happened that way.)
Driving is a huge issue. As kids, getting that driver's license means independence and freedom and a leap into another stage of life. The threat of losing this ability hits people hard, with good reason. It also propels them into another stage of life, but one that isn't nearly as exciting and expansive. It's often experienced as a painful loss of personal identity, and most importantly, a change in the way they will be relating to their families and others. The experience is often one of dependency and a constriction of life. Yet, faulty drivers stand not only to injure themselves, but they also may hurt innocent victims. Here was a woman putting others at risk because of her denial of the need for surgery. And it was MY MOTHER.
As I look back upon the signs, I must admit that they were there for me to see. For example, when she stepped outside, she was afraid that she couldn't see the ground and she could not see where to walk. She held on to people and at least knew that she could not drive at night. But I, like so many others of my generation, have great difficulty seeing what is before us. Nor do we want to. We, like our parents, want things to stay the same. We want our parents to continue on as we have known them. For me, I can't even fathom a world in which my mom isn't a phone call away. I still need her to be my mom. Because what's underneath the feelings I have described is a whole lot of love and fear of loss.
In case you are wondering what happened, I spoke from my empowered geriatric care management position of knowing, which is the place to which I typically go when I am afraid. I told my mom in no uncertain terms that she had two choices: She could either fix her cataracts or stop driving. I also admonished the doctor for not alerting the Department of Motor Vehicles about enabling a patient to drive when the licensed professional is aware of the dangers. By law, doctors could lose their license for not reporting their findings in this type of situation. For some reason, my mom did not argue with me. Knowing her, I am still not certain why she listened. She told me that she would never allow that doctor to operate on her because she didn't like him. I asked her whom she did like; she actually told me about a doctor whom "everybody in the building uses." After checking him out, I concurred that it was a great idea. Five weeks later, she underwent surgery. Shortly thereafter, my mom was again behind the wheel, only this time she could actually see.
I guess you could say that the visit to the ophthalmologist was an eye-opening experience. A lot has happened since that doctor's visit, but that was clearly the incident that let me know that I had officially become my mother's keeper–her caregiver. We've been on a hair-raising ride together since then, but there's still one thing that I know: I love my mom and I will do whatever it takes to get her the best possible care, to protect her autonomy, and to spend this time with her because this is the time that matters most – to both of us. I will have to deal with the challenging feelings that these experiences precipitate just like everybody else. Before I was ever a geriatric care manager, I was my mother's daughter.
Tips for Caring
It is of the utmost importance that elderly parents are accompanied to their physician visits by an attentive third party every so often, on a regular basis. This person must listen with an objective, impartial ear to exactly what health issues are discussed. Understanding the complexities of chronic health conditions requires someone who knows how to ask the right questions. The issue is one of understanding the current health status of the individual, as well as following through with the appropriate course of action. Asking questions and following through can sometimes be the difference between life or death.
There are many reasons why our parents need help in this area. Sometimes it's an issue of deteriorating ability to understand what's happening, brought on by memory problems or comprehension problems. It can also be related to the psychological challenge of accepting the implications of what is being said. Any of us would find it hard to "hear" these things. Keep a record of your parents' visits – what the doctor has said and recommended. If you cannot accompany your parents, ask someone else to do it, such as a family member or friend, or consider the services of a professional geriatric care manager. It's amazing what you can learn.
