Title: | Three essays on the interface of computer science, economics and information systems |
Author: | Hidvégi, Zoltán Tibor, 1970- |
Abstract: | This thesis looks at three aspects related to the design of E-commerce systems, online auctions and distributed grid computing systems. We show how formal verification techniques from computer science can be applied to ensure correctness of system design and implementation at the code level. Through e-ticket sales example, we demonstrate that model checking can locate subtle but critical flaws that traditional control and auditing methods (e.g., penetration testing, analytical procedure) most likely miss. Auditors should understand formal verification methods, enforce engineering to use them to create designs with less of a chance of failure, and even practice formal verification themselves in order to offer credible control and assistance for critical e-systems. Next, we study why many online auctions offer fixed buy prices to understand why sellers and auctioneers voluntarily limit the surplus they can get from an auction. We show when either the seller of the dibbers are risk-averse, a properly chosen fixed permanent buy-price can increase the social surplus and does not decrease the expected utility of the sellers and bidders, and we characterize the unique equilibrium strategies of uniformly risk-averse buyers in a buy-price auction. In the final chapter we look at the design of a distributed grid-computing system. We show how code-instrumentation can be used to generate a witness of program execution, and show how this witness can be used to audit the work of self-interested grid agents. Using a trusted intermediary between grid providers and customers, the audit allows payment to be contingent on the successful audit results, and it creates a verified reputation history of grid providers. We show that enabling the free trade of reputations provides economic incentives to agents to perform the computations assigned, and it induces increasing effort levels as the agents' reputation increases. We show that in such a reputation market only high-type agents would have incentive to purchase a high reputation, and only low-type agents would use low reputations, thus a market works as a natural signaling mechanism about the agents' type. |

On Sunday, I had some butternut squash leftover from a batch of muffins the week before, so I thought I'd toss it into my breakfast before it went bad. Butternut squash, like pumpkin, is one of my favorite Fall vegetables. I find it especially irresistible when paired with nutmeg and sage– it takes on both a sweet and savory, rich and smooth flavor that is comforting in the best way. Pureed, it is wonderful in breads, pancakes, soups, ravioli and muffins. Cubed and roasted, it can be tossed into pasta, any seasonal stir-fry, and omelets! I happened to have some fresh goat cheese on hand, as well as a new jar of ground sage, so those were the flavors of my Sunday morning egg feast. Omelets are pretty easy to make, and you don't really need a recipe, but I've included one below so you can see what proportions I used. I left the eggs whole and cooked them just until the whites were set, because I like my yolks a little runny. BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SAGE & GOAT CHEESE OMELET :: SERVES 1 1/4 cup pureed butternut squash, or 1/2 cup cubed squash - In a small skillet, cook butternut squash, sage, black pepper and nutmeg until tender. If using pureed squash, cook just until hot and the spices are fragrant. - Crack eggs into a bowl, then gently pour into the skillet over the squash, being careful not to break the yolks. Sprinkle with more black pepper and top with chunks of goat cheese. - Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until egg whites are almost set. Remove cover and broil on high for a few minutes, until top is cooked and cheese is starting to brown. Loosen omelet with a spatula, then slide onto a plate and enjoy! |

I have noticed on a different web site that Banamex in San Blas is no longer changing...
I have noticed on a different web site that Banamex in San Blas is no longer changing dollars into pesos. Is this true? We were in Los Cocos for December last year and plan to go again. It was very handy to run over to San Blas and cash some travelers checks.

I find it hard to believe that Banamex would stop changing dollars into pesos. But lately it seems like anything can happen. The best way to find out if this is true is to call the hotel/hostel you're staying at. If you Don't have a number for your accommodations, then try calling one of the bigger hotels in the area. Someone there will either know the answer or will be able to tell you a place that does exchange dollars for pesos.

Crocuses and tulips would be at a depth (3"-6") where the bulldozer would have dug them up anyway. If it didn't, then that means they're too deep to grow in the spring or any other time.
Adam: I made you a tree for your garden.
Joan: Are those cigarette butts?
Adam: Yeah. I dipped them in leftover slushies. The sugar makes killer glue.
Will: Ease up, man, our medical plan doesn't cover stomach stapling.
Det. Carlisle: I'm peckish. Happens whenever a grieving family member accuses me of murder.
Joan: I planted something called "impatiens"... but they take as long as everything else. Funny, huh?
Loner Loser Kid God: The jeans are really comfy.
Ms. Lischak: Indeterminacy, my warriors! Who will catch a cold? Who will stumble and fall along the dusty path? (Grace promptly trips Friedman)
Luke: I mean, basically, I've been asking for a total regime change in your public and personal life. But you know what? I looked up every major political revolution in the last hundred years, and not even the most violent ones were sudden. You know, they built up over years of dissatisfaction and unrest.
Grace: Did you make a special effort not to use a science metaphor?
Luke: I'm trying to expand my range.
Loner Loser Kid God: It's like, uh, everybody has something better to do. Until they're on a plane, and then they're all over me.
Glynis: If you're concerned that working with me will be awkward, I can assure you I've moved on. And on… and on…
Joan: Friedman. The kiss meant nothing. (Judith) was drunk.
Friedman: You sweet naive child.
Joan: And this is supposed to inspire me? The Charlie Brown Christmas Tree of metaphors?
Grace: My dad found out that Judith ended up in the hospital; now he thinks I'm being tainted by the heathen shiksa.
Sammy #2: Try not to mate during business hours, Miss Girardi.
Grace: So basically you're saying what?
Luke: I'm willing to wait...
Luke: Joan, I already claimed the last Poptart!
Joan: Not unless you put your name on it, freakazoid!
Luke: Look... L-U-K-E clearly displayed in red permanent marker.

Grace: Are you fondling my ankles?
Luke: Yes. I am.
Joan: I just had this whole fantasy how we would come together and be like this one person with a lot of heads... That sounds kinda freaky, but you know what I meant.
Garbage Man God: This can be recycled. Do I have to make a new Earth every seven days?
Joan: So what I was growing…
Loner Loser Kid God: Grew.
Joan: So many people pray to see you. If only they knew…
Adam: I wasn't listening. I was looking at you.
Danny: Why are you planting cabbage? Isn't that like… already cabbage?
Judith: Do you want a cigarette?

« Bjork playing 10 NYC shows! Six at the New York Hall of Science! (four at Roseland) (in the round!) | Howlin Rain releasing new LP, touring, playing shows w/ Sweeney+Oneida+Truax supergroup Soldiers of Fortune »

Ava Luna at BV Holiday Party last month/year (more by Jessica Amaya)
Wintersleep are going on a short North American tour this month which ends in 2 NYC dates happening on January 24 at Mercury Lounge with Pretty & Nice and January 25 at Glasslands with ARMS and Writer. Tickets for the Mercury show and the Glasslands show are on sale now. All Wintersleep dates are listed below.
Speaking of ARMS, their frontman, Todd Goldstein, is opening for John Roderick (of the Long Winters) at his Mercury Lounge show (1/28), which is three days after ARMS play Glasslands and one day after John Roderick opens for Aimee Mann at her sold out MHOW show. Tickets for the Mercury Lounge show are still available.
In other Glasslands/Mercury Lounge news, Har Mar Superstar has a few shows announced including Glasslands on March 7 with Rewards. Tickets are on sale now.
Rewards were also just announced as the opener for the second School of Seven Bells show at Mercury Lounge (3/1). Their record release show (happening at the same venue on 2/28) sold out and Tickets for the new show go on sale Friday (1/6) at noon.
Both Rewards and School of Seven Bells also DJ in Brooklyn next Friday (1/13) at Cameo Gallery with CREEP, who is also DJing. Doors are at midnight for this late show, which takes place after Radical Dads play the same venue a few hours earlier. Radical Dads recently played a great set at our Brooklyn Bazaar Holiday Party.
The day before that Cameo Gallery show, NewVillager and Avan Lava play Mercury Lounge (1/12). Tickets are available.
Avan Lava is not to be confused with Ava Luna, who just played a BV Holiday Party with Widowspeak and Twin Sister, the latter of which they're heading out on tour with later this month. That tour doesn't include any NYC dates but Ava Luna just announced their own NYC show happening shortly after the tour ends at Mercury Lounge on February 24 with Celestial Shore, Darlings, and Cindy Lou Gooden. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (1/13) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (1/11) at noon.
You can catch Darlings in NYC even sooner when they headline Glasslands on Thursday (1/12) with The Suzan, Fabric, and DAYTONA (mems. of Harlem and Wild Yaks). Tickets for that show are available.
Friends play Cameo on January 24th.
Faris (of the Horrors) and Honor (of Cerebral Ballzy) both DJ cameo this Friday night (tomorrow, 1/6).

"We were able to glide over the worst terrain and mud we could find, with no problems whatsoever. The steering effort was much less than comparably sized swamp tires we have tried previously. Believe us, a five-pound-lighter tire steers much easier. The ride over hard pack terrain also isn't as rough as some of the larger and heavier mud tires we've ridden with. … ITP's all new line of Mud Lite tires provide solid traction in the muck and are a decent all-around tire on hard pack. With a six-ply rating they are also very puncture resistant."—Dirt Wheels Magazine

ATV MAGAZINE "ITP's latest is a strong contender, according to our testers. Ö Mud Lites did almost everything well. They are excellent biters, and track true in both forward and reverse. They have incredible gripÖ From a stop, the clawing action is great. 'Yikes. Awesome pulling power without being overly heavy,' wrote one tester. Overall, the tires were excellent, especially considering the weight. They pulled almost as well as the extra-large lugged tires in this test, without the performance sacrifice."
ATV MAGAZINE "The Mud Lite tires-both the AT and XL-deliver a surprisingly strong performance. They look and ride just like a stock tire, but can get aggressive when the conditions get nasty. And in their XL form, they provide competitive traction in a controllable ride."

WARRENVILLE, Ill., Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Movie producer Austin Chapman was born profoundly deaf, but in August 2012, Chapman was fitted with a Phonak hearing aid that allowed him to clearly hear and understand music for the first time in his life. This experience inspired Chapman to partner with Phonak to seek out others to tell similar stories about their own life-changing experience that came with hearing – for the first time or again. The winning story will be produced into a short film by Chapman.
Beginning December 11, interested people can go to ArtOfTheStory.com to complete their story entries. In addition to the produced short film, the winner will receive a $25,000 prize from Phonak. The winner will be announced in February and the winning video will be featured on Phonak-us.com and ArtoftheStory.com.
"I am only 23, but the hearing technology that has progressed over my lifetime has given me the opportunity to hear music for the first time, which I am forever grateful for," said Chapman. "I was deeply affected by the support and encouragement of complete strangers when I shared my story online, and received more than 14,000 comments. I know there are others out there with similar experiences, and I am excited to create a short film and continue to share this inspiration."
More than 38 million people in the U.S. are affected by some degree of hearing loss, and only 35 percent are above the age of 64. In fact, there are close to six million people in the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 44 with hearing loss. In short, hearing loss affects people of all age groups, including:

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Samoana High School 2004 graduate, Nu'u Punimata, is making big strides in the world of rugby, as he is not only playing for the USA National 7's Team, he is also coaching rugby to young boys and girls at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) near Seattle, Washington.
Waisale Serevi, who is a former three time Melrose cup champion and two time World Cup champion, formed Serevi and Rugby Nation and with the help of Punimata, they are bringing flag rugby to JBLM every Friday, which began April 13 and goes through May 28.
The biggest catch as of day three of the Steinlager's 13th International I'a Lapo'a Tournament turned up yesterday, after a first two days of hardly any catches.
The Southern Destiny from Samoa was the third boat that reached the scale before the deadline yesterday, and it brought in the biggest catch of the tournament as of now, a 392.4 Blue Marlin which was lured in by angler Mike Apted.
Mike remains at the top with the biggest catch ever this year, but the tournament is still yet under way as of now, and it will conclude tomorrow.
The islands that make up American Samoa are closer to Australia than they are to Hawaii. Just a blip on the Atlas, American Samoa has left a mark on the NFL by turning out NFL-caliber players on the regular.
None of the four fautasi from American Samoa invited for Samoa's Jubilee celebration will attend their Independence Day, while three local "siva and pese" groups and one cricket team will represent the territory at the annual celebration in Apia.
The Seau family has invited Congressman Faleomavaega Eni to speak at today's final funeral service for former NFL star Junior Seau, who died last Wednesday at his home in Oceanside, California.
According to the family, funeral plans for Seau included a private viewing and family service last night in Oceanside, with the final service this morning followed by the burial at Eternal Hills Cemetery in Oceanside, said Faleomavega.
Beneath the sea, in the fight for survival, coral reefs are thriving in the turquoise lagoons of a tiny, volcanic outcrop island called Ofu. This island in American Samoa houses the Muhammad Ali of corals, able to thrive in temperatures that would knock out most counterparts.
Saturday, May 19, 2012 marks the day ASG will again observe National Armed Forces Day by hosting the annual Armed Forces Ball at 6 p.m. at the Lee Auditorium in Utulei. The Keynote Speaker for the 2012 Armed Forces Ball is United States Army Colonel Leafaina Tavai Yahn, Commander of the 404thArmy Field Support Brigade from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.
The American Samoa Community College (ASCC) will hold its 56th Commencement Ceremony on Friday, May 18, beginning at 10 a.m. in the College's Gymnasium.
One hundred and thirty prospective graduates are expected to receive the College's regular Associate degrees and certificates, although the actual number may vary depending on final exam results, and this semester's graduation ceremony will mark a milestone for ASCC with the awarding of its very first Bachelor of Elementary Education degrees to two students from the Teacher Education Department.
The Pacific Regional Disaster Preparedness Center (PRDPC) that was contracted to come out to the Pacific Rim to instruct members from various first responder agencies in the fine points of the National Incident Management Systems — in order to help them comply with the Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPD) 5 & 8 — began last Friday May 4 and concluded yesterday afternoon at the Army Reserve Conference Room in Tafuna.

Issue 347 Bias Table Mat
CEY has a beautiful selection of garments to knit for summer. But if you're an accessory knitter, you already know there are fewer pattern choices for small warm-weather knits. We like a challenge, so this summer the ladies of CEY are designing accessories for our homes.
Cheryl, CEY's most prolific knitter, responded to our home decor challenge with this Bella Lino/Firefly Bias Table Mat. Here's what she had to say about it:
Firefly has been my favorite summer yarn for some time now, but this year when CEY introduced Bella Lino, I found a new love. I thought the two yarns would be lovely together and the color combinations are almost endless. Of course being the pink lover that I am, I chose the Coral (7788) and Sunshine (8585) for my design. The call for designs was home décor, but I could see this pattern as a lovely shawl too.
The bias construction would easily scale up to a shawl or table runner size (or down for a smaller size). The hardest part of this pattern? Picking just two colors. Happy knitting!
(file size: 748 KB; published June 17, 2014)
The Yarn
Bella Lino and Firefly are obvious partners: each is an airy fiber blend that creates lightweight fabric with beautiful drape. Bella Lino comes in a palette of summery multi-hued colors that each have a linen-hued base. The solid, light-catching shades of Firefly are a natural complement. Click the images above to learn more about each yarn.
More designs for your home.
My favorite thing about home decor projects is the daily satisfaction they give. A favorite sweater may only get worn once or twice a week. But the felted bowls on my desk? I see them daily. And each time they give me a little dose of I made it joy.
Here are a few free patterns from past Web-Letters to help you decorate your home for daily enjoyment.

Atorvastatin (Lipitor) to Prevent Bone Pain
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
In the proposed randomized double blind cross-over placebo controlled study, the researchers intend to investigate if Atorvastatin (FDA approved statin for children) can be used to alleviate the symptom of bone pain (acute phase reaction) that is commonly associated with initial doses of pamidronate or zoledronic acid, and also the mechanism that underlies this proposed beneficial effect of Atorvastatin. The primary outcome studied will be alleviation of bone pain by Atorvastatin compared to placebo by visual analogue pain scale in children treated with pamidronate or zoledronic acid. The secondary outcome investigated will be changes in blood count and γδT cell count, C-reactive protein (CRP) and cytokine levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and gamma interferon (γ-IFN) following treatment with Atorvastatin compared to placebo.

Official Title: | Use of Atorvastatin (Lipitor) to Prevent Bone Pain Following Infusion of Pamidronate or Zoledronic Acid |
- Alleviation of bone pain by Atorvastatin compared to placebo by visual analogue pain scale.
- Changes in blood count and γδT cell count, CRP and cytokine levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and gamma interferon (γ-IFN) following treatment with Atorvastatin compared to placebo.
Enrollment: | 12 |
Study Start Date: | December 2004 |
Study Completion Date: | December 2007 |
The proposed study is a double blind cross-over placebo controlled randomized clinical study that would be conducted in the Metabolic Bone Clinic of The Children's Mercy Hospital. This is a pilot study and a more comprehensive study will be designed only if the results from this pilot study are significant. In our proposed double blind cross-over placebo controlled pilot study we will have a total of 12 children who will receive either placebo or Atorvastatin in a randomized cross-over design. The pilot study with a sample of 12 in a cross-over trial will provide reasonably stable estimates even though it is unlikely to provide statistical significance on its own but will help plan further large scale studies.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 6 Years to 25 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children with various metabolic bone diseases and osteoporosis who are to initiate treatment with either pamidronate and/or zoledronic acid.
- They should be 6 to 25 years old, able to understand the study, swallow pills and competent to complete the visual analogue pain scale.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Children less than 6 years old or incompetent to complete the visual analogue pain scale.
- Children with seizure disorder associated or triggered by fever.
- Children known to have hypersensitivity reaction to statins, active liver disease or persistent elevated serum transaminases or CPK.
- Children on erythromycin, cyclosporine, fibric acid, azole antifungals, cimetidine and spironolactone will be excluded.

Ohio Home Prices & Values
Zillow Home Value Index
The Zillow Home Value Index is the median Zestimate valuation for a given geographic area on a given day. Learn more
- 3.2% 1-year change
- 2.8% 1-year forecast
The median home value in Ohio is $115,700. Ohio home values have gone up 3.2% over the past year and Zillow predicts they will rise 2.8% within the next year. The median list price per square foot in Ohio is $83. The median price of homes currently listed in Ohio is $129,900 while the median price of homes that sold is $125,750. The median rent price in Ohio is $850.
Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In Ohio 5.7 homes are foreclosed (per 10,000). This is greater than the national value of 3.9
Mortgage delinquency is the first step in the foreclosure process. This is when a homeowner fails to make a mortgage payment. The percent of delinquent mortgages in Ohio is 5.1%, which is lower than the national value of 6.3%. With U.S. home values having fallen by more than 20% nationally from their peak in 2007 until their trough in late 2011, many homeowners are now underwater on their mortgages, meaning they owe more than their home is worth. The percent of Ohio homeowners underwater on their mortgage is 20.0%.

Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) as a tool for identification of marine nematodes
Cook, A.A., Bhadury, P., Debenham, N.J., Meldal, B.H.M., Blaxter, M.L., Smerdon, G.R., Austen, M.C., Lambshead, P.J.D. and Rogers, A.J. (2005) Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) as a tool for identification of marine nematodes. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 291, 103-113. (doi:10.3354/meps291103).
Full text not available from this repository.
Many phyla of marine invertebrates are difficult to identify using conventional morphological taxonomy. Larvae of a wider set of phyla are also difficult to identify as a result of conservation of morphology between species or because morphological characters are destroyed during sampling and preservation. DNA sequence analysis has the potential for identification of marine organisms to the species level. However, sequence analysis of specimens is time-consuming and impractical when species diversity is very high and densities of individuals huge, as they are in many marine habitats. The effectiveness of the 18S rRNA gene sequences for identification of one species-rich marine group, the Nematoda, is analysed. Following identification of variable regions of the 18S rRNA gene, primers were designed to amplify a small segment of sequences suitable for denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The effectiveness of DGGE for identifying individual species is analysed. DGGE analysis of natural communities of nematodes detected less than ⅔ of the species present. This fraction of the community probably represents the abundant species in the original samples. It is concluded that DGGE is not a useful tool for analysis of species richness in marine communities as it fails to detect rare species of which there are usually many in the marine benthic environment. However, DGGE may be a useful method for detecting changes in communities that influence the abundance of the most common taxa.

Eight former Al Qaeda members executed in Iraq
Gunmen dressed in military uniforms kidnapped eight former anti-Al Qaeda fighters north of Baghdad and executed them on Monday, Iraqi officials said.
The former Al Qaeda members were taken from their homes during a pre-dawn raid in Mishahada, north of the capital, according to AFP.
The corpses of the men were found later in the town, with their bodies showing signs of gunshot wounds to the head and chest areas, according to an interior ministry source and medical official who spoke to AFP.
The execution of the eight men comes amid a series of attacks against the Sunni group in the last few days, as Iraq grapples with a growing sectarian conflict and political deadlock.
Analysts say the stalemate is likely to persist until general elections due next year, according to AFP.
The eight casualties all previously fought in the Sahwa, a coalition of Sunni tribal militant groups that turned against Al Qaeda and joined forces with the US military in late 2006, proving influential in turning the tide of Iraq's bloody insurgency.
Members of the Sahwa are considered traitors by other Sunni militant groups, and are therefore often targeted with violence.
In the previous week alone, nine Sahwa fighters were killed and 18 others wounded in attacks, according to an Agence France Presse tally.
Iraq has seen a significant increase in violence since the start of 2013, coinciding with protests by the Sunni community, which says it is the target of discrimination at the hands of the Shiite-led government.

KENNESAW, Ga. (May 20, 2010) - Kennesaw State scored five unanswered runs as the ETSU baseball team fell to the Owls 5-4 Thursday night at Stillwell Stadium in Kennesaw, Ga.
Sophomore Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) was tabbed with the loss for the Bucs (29-25, 14-11 A-Sun) after giving up five runs (four earned) on nine hits in 7.1 innings of work.
Brad Long earned the win for Kennesaw State (21-31, 10-14 A-Sun) throwing 2.0 perfect innings of relief for the Owls with four strikeouts.
Freshman Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.) led the Bucs offensively going 4-for-5 with an RBI and scored a run. Green's four singles in the game broke a school record with 64 singles on the season. Green also tied a school record with three stolen bases in the game, as the Bucs had a school record eight stolen bases as a team.
ETSU grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first as Matthew Scruggs (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Green came around to score on a Kennesaw State error.
The Bucs added two more runs in the second inning on a Green RBI single and a bases loaded walk to catcher Derek Trent (Kingsport, Tenn.) to increase their lead to 4-0.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Owls cut the ETSU lead to 4-2 on a two-run single by left fielder Clint Roques.
Stubblefield cut the Buccaneer lead to 4-3 in the seventh as he crushed a solo home run onto the balcony overlooking left center. Later in the inning, Drew Fowlkes singed in Bucky Smith to tie the game at 4-all.
Kennesaw State took a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the eighth as Ross Tendler doubled in Ronnie Freeman.
The Bucs are back in action tomorrow with a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m. as they close out the Kennesaw State series. For more information on ETSU baseball and all other Buccaneer athletic news please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

Farrell's hotel christening
Colin Farrell "christens" every hotel room he stays in - by going to the toilet as soon as he gets there.The hell-raising actor says he likes nothing more than reading the room service menu while going for to the toilet.
He confessed: "Me and my sister still get excited every time we go into a hotel. Every time there's a new room service menu I'm excited. The first things I do when I get into the hotel room is go in, have a sh*t, read the room service menu and think, 'What am I going to replace this with tonight?'
"For some reason, I have to christen every room as soon as I get into it."

Reduce the Deficit
Balance the Budget
National Defense
Federal Reserve
States' Rights
Right to Arms
Congressional Integrity
Congress spent over $180,000 dollars for every temporary job they claim to have created with the Stimulus. Even more alarming is that
Congress only appropriated 6% of the Stimulus money to transportation and roads
even though roads are one of the responsibilities of Congress outlined in Article I Section 8 of our Constitution. Washington cannot create jobs efficiently when it tries "one size fits all" solutions to a problem that is local. Government is most efficient at the local level so we should return money to State and local governments.
California only receives 80 cents back from every dollar we pay
the federal government.
Some states receive over two dollars back
for every federal tax dollar paid. The State of Alaska is able to give their state residents a substantial tax rebate each year with the $1.84 they receive back from the Feds for every dollar in federal tax they pay.
California's deficit, high unemployment, and declining economy are directly related to this unfair taxation by the federal government. This burdensome taxation from the federal government has also moved
California from the fifth largest economy in the world to the ninth largest.
Only when we return money to the states from the federal government will we see a better economy, efficiency in government spending, and more jobs.
^Back to the Top^
In light of our massive debt, we need to evaluate our spending priorities in this country. There is a
bipartisan movement in Congress to reduce our expensive military presence in Europe and Asia which is left over from World War II.
There are
well over 100,000 troops in these countries that should be returned home
so that they can spend their salaries on the U.S. economy, instead of foreign economies, while defending this great nation.
It does not serve our national interests to maintain this level of troop presence in a post World War 2 era especially considering the massive debt we have accumulated and new threats to national defense that have occurred in the last decade.
Social Security for current beneficiaries must not be reduced however because these Americans have been paying into the system their whole lives with the promise that they would get the money back when they got older. Unfortunately time and time again our Congress has voted to raid money from Social Security to pay for other programs. This has led to the
federal government stealing $2.5 trillion from the Social Security trust fund since 1983
. I will support legislation, like
this one
, that makes the practice of spending Social Security money on other programs against the law.
What's worse is that the national debt has also directly affected Social Security recipients because, through inflation, the real value of the payments they receive has dramatically reduced.
I will tackle the deficit through a required balanced budget amendment, a line by line evaluation of every government program, and reduction in foreign aid (which was more than double the California deficit last year). I will do all of this with the goal of saving Social Security and protecting your tax dollars from being wasted.
^Back to the Top^
Any ideas for new programs should be shelved until we get our deficit under control. Our government is spending more than twice the revenue it receives and this
unsustainable debt is the biggest threat to our national security.
This debt has contributed to massive inflation that is devaluing the purchasing power of all Americans. We must Balance Our Budget, Restore Our Dollar Value, and Ensure a Better Future for the United States of America.
Unfortunately our Congress has proved time and time again that they do not have the political will to make a balanced budget. The only way to get balanced budgets is to force Congress to have one by law just like we force California legislators to have a balanced budget.
I will support a Constitutional amendment that will require Congress to balance the budget by law. We've gotten close to passing this amendment before. Between 1996 and 1997, the House of Representatives passed a balanced budget amendment and the Senate came one vote short of passing one (both votes required a two-thirds majority).
This time we will succeed in passing a balanced budget amendment because Americans have become aware of the massive inflation and destruction of our economy that occurs with huge deficits.
^Back to the Top^
National Defense means America First. We must secure our borders; we cannot be serious about national security if we maintain open borders. Rule of law and the protection of our citizens requires that we enforce immigration laws not ignore them.
The Constitution mandates
"The United States
shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and
shall protect
each of them
against Invasion; and
on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened)
against domestic Violence."
We have foreign invaders kidnapping Americans across our borders yet Congress ignores the Constitution and sits idly by. It is also unacceptable that parts of this country are controlled by gangs and Congress continues to ignore the Constitution's mandate against domestic violence.
Our priority should be protecting our citizens and our borders. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have distracted the Federal government from its constitutional duty to protect American citizens, in America, above all else.
Arizona is overwhelmed by violent drug cartels
border related crime in California continues to escalate
as a direct result of the unsecured borders.
Furthermore congressional attacks on the 2nd amendment must be stopped. The 2nd amendment is a strong deterrent against invasions by foreign nations and many have speculated that it is the reason why Japan hesitated to attack the continental United States during World War 2. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the Japanese Naval Marshal General and the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet during World War II, famously warned Japan that "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."
^Back to the Top^
The United States must have a national energy policy for the 21st century. Americans have long been at the forefront of clean renewable energy. The Bay Area itself is home to some of the most advanced research in the world, both in the private and public sectors including new fuel cell technology, renewable energy production and conservation.
Cap and trade is not an energy policy; it is a tax on business and industry and will ultimately be passed on to the voters. This is not the way to make American industry competitive.
Controversial decisions such as where to drill oil domestically should be made by the states and citizens using the oil. Imposing federal mandates limiting oil production while voters willingly consume petroleum products from other countries is at odds with our values; Free Enterprise, Competition, States' Rights and National Defense.
Some states will drill for oil and others will build windmills; the beauty of a States' Rights energy policy is that we allow the states to compete for the best energy policy. States will emulate the successful energy policies of competing States just as the founders intended.
^Back to the Top^
The California Congressional Caucus must unite with other major state caucuses and create future budgets which don't punish economic success.
California pays much more federal taxes proportionally than it gets back when compared to most other states
. California's state taxes are higher, the cost of living here is higher and the federal government keeps a greater share of our tax revenues.
Our congressional representatives have let us down. Year after year they approve budgets that recklessly redistribute California's tax dollars and give them to other states.
California receives 80 cents back from every dollar we pay
the federal government.
Some states receive over two dollars back
for every federal tax dollar paid. The State of Alaska is able to give their state residents a substantial tax rebate each year with the $1.84 they receive back from the Feds for every dollar in federal tax they pay.
This is not right and is nothing more than redistribution of wealth. This is not a Republican or Democratic issue; it is an issue for all Californians who are punished for the economic success of our state. A vote for me is a mandate for California's congressional representatives to hold the line on our disproportionate taxation and to stop penalizing individuals and businesses for succeeding. Our Congress should not be wasting the money of the people who are productive enough to produce it.
^Back to the Top^
One of my first actions in Congress will be to support a full audit of the Federal Reserve and make government transparent with our tax dollars. The Federal Reserve makes decisions determining the value of our taxdollars every day and it's about time these decisions came out from behind closed doors.
Seeking transparency regarding how our tax dollars are being spent, many congressional leaders have questioned Bernanke about what programs the Federal Reserve is spending money on. Bernanke has declined many of these questions because currently the Federal Reserve, unlike other government agencies, operates independent of congressional oversight. It is our right as taxpayers to know how our monetary supply is being manipulated and spent.
The Constitution gives Congress the power to
"coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin"
yet Congress feels it can outsource its responsibility to the Federal Reserve and ignore its congressional oversight role. Auditing the Federal Reserve will finally bring light to how our taxes are being used and help restore the congressional oversight responsibility of Congress.
^Back to the Top^
Republicans and many Democrats were uneasy about the restriction of freedom imposed by the individual mandate included in the recent healthcare legislation; in the Democratic primary,
President Obama even distinguished himself from Hillary Clinton by saying that his healthcare plan wouldn't have an individual mandate like her plan
(one of the many promises he has ignored). Removing the mandate is a cause we can get many Democrats to move across the aisle on for a 2/3 vote to override the president's likely veto.
I will co-sponsor H.R. 4995 which is a simple two paged bill appropriately titled "End the Mandate." This bill would remove the individual mandate that forces people to purchase health insurance under the government's new assumed power that it can force us to consume goods it deems necessary.
The government shouldn't be pushing "one size fits all" solutions on healthcare given that the individual healthcare problems are vastly different from state to state. The government should not mandate HMOs and should allow all citizens to purchase insurance from outside of their home state (the Constitution grants the Federal government authority over interstate commerce) to encourage competition and lower prices from health insurance providers. Additionally I will support H.R. 5444 which gives citizens a tax credit for 100% of their healthcare expenses.
Healthcare is appropriately a state issue under the 10th amendment of the Constitution however and the best solutions will come from local governments dealing with local problems; only competition of the best healthcare systems between states will provide our country with true solutions to our healthcare crisis.
^Back to the Top^
Our young people represent this country's economic future. These children will also be the leaders to guide this country through increasingly complex international and domestic issues.
It is essential that we have the best education system in the world. In order for Americans to compete in the 21st Century, we must place a renewed focus on our schools; especially math and science education.
This is why resources should be directed to the states and not wasted at the federal level. We have fifty unique states. Yet Congress insists on "one size fits all" solutions for education and many other important issues where there are many options which may bring us to better outcomes.
^Back to the Top^
The Constitution clearly states that "
The powers not delegated to the United States
by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States,
are reserved to the States respectively
, or to the people."
The founders were clear in their language and it is about time we start electing more congressional leaders who do not blatantly disregard the balance of power in our republic.
^Back to the Top^
Our country's value of freedom is what allows us to be innovative, prosperous and a beacon of light to the rest of the world. I will error on the side of more liberties and not less. In Congress I will vote to defend the liberties guaranteed to Americans in the Bill of Rights. I will work to end warrantless wiretapping as it is a direct violation of the fourth amendment.
I support the Repeal of the Patriot Act as it has proven to be a substantial reduction in fourth amendment rights. The national security letter provision of the Patriot Act, which allows FBI agents to write their own warrants,
has been abused countless times
. Additionally, frequently the
Patriot Act is used for cases that have nothing to do with terrorism.
We are a nation of laws and we must protect Americans from unreasonable searches and seizures.
Another important issue for liberty is the new
provisions in the recent National Defense Authorization Act which allow the military to indefinitely detain American citizens
, captured on American soil, without a trial and without charging them. The language in this bill that allows this obscene violation of due process rights must be repealed immediately.
Furthermore the 10th amendment found in the Bill of Rights ensures the federal government has no authority to dictate how we live our personal lives . If individual States wish to ban certain private conduct then it is within their authority (assuming it does not violate liberties guaranteed in the Constitution) and not within the authority of the federal government. Such laws were meant to be made State by State and not "one size fits all" at the federal level.
The Republican Liberty Caucus has endorsed me as the best candidate in the race to preserve our liberties and if you elect me I will do so.
^Back to the Top^
The second amendment states "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
I am opposed to assault weapons bans, ammunition caps, and laws which require "proof of necessity" for concealed weapons permits. Any criminal who is willing to break the law by killing another person will not care about laws regarding possession of the weapon they use to kill. Instead
gun control laws end up hurting law abiding citizens
by handicapping their ability to protect themselves.
^Back to the Top^
I, and many other congressional candidates in other states, have made a pledge to restore congressional integrity to our government. It is recognition of four important issues every congressman should abide to.
-I will work to restore honesty and transparency to our financial system
-I will protect individual liberties and state sovereignty from being eroded by overreaching federal laws.
-I will work for a foreign policy that prioritizes protecting our citizens from those who wish to harm us by crossing our borders.
-I will actually read bills before voting on them. It's ridiculous that so many representatives neglect to do their JOB! One cannot represent constituents if he doesn't know what he's voting on.

Hi all,
I am going to be presenting at HP Software Universe Barcelona, Spain. If you are there, you should come and see the presentation a performance management solution for IT Executives.
The session will be on December 2nd, at 9:00 am in room P1-133/134, P1 Level CCIB Bicolor. The session number is BTOT-TH-0900/6.
We would like to give you the possibility to ask specific question prior to the session and let us know what your expectations would be for this session. After the HP Software Universe we will be posting the slides and will keep this post open for additional questions or dialogue that you would like to have on this session.
Here is a summary of the session:
Historically, IT executives have been the cobbler's children for performance management. Built manually, they often required 15 days or more of preparation a month. This paper will discuss dashboard design, KPI weighting, and HP's executive scorecard.
Appreciate your feedback and questions you might have.
Richard Hawes
Sr. Product Marketing Manager

Ive been looking for a flat for a while now and think it may be easier to rent a whole property and find others to fill the rooms, as I cant find anything quite right!
Im 27, female and work full time in travel/events. Im looking for a 3 or 4 bed house/flat anywhere from Shoreditch to Stoke Newington, Im quite flexible with location, I just want to ensure the property is right.
Im only going to accept somewhere with a living room, I think its a must! Somewhere with a balcony or outside space would be good as well as I want to start growing chillis etc. I like a glass of wine in the week watching a film but not a major party animal anymore, but Im definitely looking for sociable housemates who Ill enjoy relaxing after work with. Males or females, but I would prefer someone in full time employment please. Im looking for people who understand about personal space whilst being friendly.
Ill happily meet people this week to discuss things further, or feel free to give me a call on 07850454775. Im looking to move by the end of April - hopefully sooner.
If this sounds like what you are looking for please contact me and we can arrange a time to meet.
Thanks! Sarah
