Clean Air
The Clean Air Act s the law that defines EPA's responsibilities for protecting and improving the nation's air quality and the stratospheric ozone layer. The last major change in the law, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, was enacted by Congress in 1990.

Can we use a Facebook URL for posting pictures. I tried it and it did not work. I am pretty I did it correctly.
Okay, I can see that (how do I know I can see it before I've posted this? I clicked "Preview Post"; I use that a lot), but the image is cached in my browser. The question is whether anyone else can see it. I'll post this, clear my cache, log out of Facebook, quit my browser, and see what I can see.
EDIT: Yeah, I can still see it. So it seems like linking from Facebook works.

I use photobucket as my photo sharing website and it works with other sites, such as advrider which has the yellow mountain icon to link photobucket photos to the message I'm creating on advrider. But the instructions in the link to the first posting in this thread gives the instruction to use the yellow mountain icon (that works with advrider.com), but that icon is not present, that I can see, when I'm trying to create an ad in the MOA website. Am I missing something? Thanks.

I am speaking of placing flea market ads. Photobucket is able to link a photo when I'm creating an ad in advrider, by using the yellow mountain icon but that apparently isn't how photos in moa flea market ads are added. I'll continue looking for a solution. Thanks.
p.s. market opportunities forum doesn't have anything that I find helpful.
The idea of the "mountain" icon might be outdated for an older version of the forum software. Currently, if you want to add a picture to a post in the forum, you use the paperclip icon at the top of the post composing window.
But in the Flea Market, it appears it's different. The Flea Market is a custom add-on and is not necessarily related to the forum. It appears that as you create your ad for the Flea Market, you use the feature to browse for a photo on your computer and then upload the photo per the instructions. I don't know that there's a way to link a photo from another on-line photo sharing website. If you have the photos in a specific area within your photos on that website, you can put in the URL to that folder and the shoppers will be able to click on your link and see your photos. Some people tend to do that...upload one photo but provide a link to see additional photos if interested.
I'm not that savvy with those photo sharing sites...I know they have buttons to click on that develops a URL for that specific photo which then you can paste into messages...maybe you can do it that way. Typically, those URLs will start with "[img]" and end with "[/img]" (without the quotes) and in the middle is the web address for the photor.

Gallery: 6 Ways PlaNYC Has Successfully Made New York a Greener Place t...

Travel Time Reduced by 20% for Thousands of Bus Passengers
Among various new public transportation initiatives that have been launched to improve service, reduce travel time and get more people around the city car-free, one of the most successful has been the Select Bus Service lines that have reduced travel times by up to 20% for thousands of bus passengers. After the original Fordham Road/Pelham Parkway line in the Bronx and the First Avenue/Second Avenue in Manhattan proved so successful, PlaNYC worked with the MTA to expand the network to 34th Street. The East River Ferry pilot project launched last year has also been a boon for hundreds of thousands of residents who travel between Brooklyn and Queens and Manhattan and Governor's Island.

75% of Buildings Over 50,000 Square Feet have met the PlaNYC's Benchmarking efficiency program
This may not be so clear at first so let us explain: a whopping 75% of energy use can be attributed to buildings, so NYC committed to drastically improving energy efficiency among the city's biggest buildings. As part of the Greener Greater Buildings Plan, owners of all buildings over 50,000 square feet are required to report on their energy use so that in the long run, measures can be taken improve their performance. To date, 75% of the city's largest buildings, accounting for 45% of our energy consumption, have complied with the program, which means that 1.6 billion square feet of real estate will eventually become lean and mean power consumers. This translates into serious GHG reductions for everybody!
image via Little NY, Shutterstock
76% of New Yorkers Live Within 10 Minutes Walk of a Public Park
One of the most significant achievements made as a result of the PlaNYC program is the substantial increase of green spaces around the city. In the last year alone, easy access to a healthy, invigorating urban park has been granted to 240,815 more New Yorkers. In 2007, only 70% of the city's residents could get to a park within 10 minutes of walking. That number has risen to 76% and will grow further still. We don't know the numbers, but this has to make our beautiful city one of the greenest on the planet.

Reaves Free Kick Sends Women's Soccer Past Lees-McRae 1-0; Earn #2 in Conference Tournament
October 31, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Lady Falcon junior Megan Reaves (Mims, FL) converted a free kick from 20-yards out in the 12th minute of play as Pfeiffer University blanked the Lees-McRae Bobcats 1-0 in Conference Carolinas womens soccer action on Saturday afternoon at N.E. Lefko Field. The win gives the Lady Falcons the #2 seed in next weeks conference tournament as their record improves to 11-5-3 overall, 8-1-2 in league play. Lees-McRae drops to 10-7-1, 7-4 and will be the #5 seed next week.
A Bobcats foul just outside the 18-yard box in the 12th minute gave the Lady Falcons the all-important free kick. Taking the shot, Reaves fired just to the right of the Bobcats defensive wall and keeper Brittany Bolton (Roanoke, VA) for the lone goal of the match.
In her final regular season match at home, goalkeeper Suzie Hinman (Idaho Falls, ID) collected the fifth shutout of the season stopping all three shots faced. Vickie Rich (Buffalo Grove, IL), Maribeth Novak (Homer Glen, NY) and Jessica OLeary (Millbury, MA) took the three Lady Bobcat shots. Pfeiffer outshot Lees-McRae 24-3 on the afternoon.
The Lady Falcons will open up the Conference Carolinas tournament as the #2 seed taking on #7 Limestone at 2:00 p.m. Monday afternoon. The Lady Bobcats open the tournament as the fifth-seed traveling to fourth-seeded Queens.

I bought these for a friend that has severe arthritis. They are a God send! She said that they work so well, they make a HUGE difference in her day to day life! If fact, after the results of the first set and her good comments, I ordered a 2nd set for her! Truly a product that works as well, if not better than described! A+!

Do not install on a inside doorknob that has a center button lock, it keeps slipping over the lock and makes it difficult to use the lock.

The prolific character actor best remembered for his role as Crazy Cat from F Troop has passed away at the age of 90. Don Diamond had been fighting Parkinson's disease and other medical issues.
Diamond frequently played Mexican or Native American characters but his father was a first generation immigrant from Russia. Diamond studied drama at the University of Michigan and later earned a commission in the US Army Air Corps. He as fluent in Yiddish already and learned Spanish while stationed in New Mexico during the second World War.
When he was discharged in 1946, he started acting on radio and frequently played Mexicans or Spaniards. This led to him being cast in The Adventures of Kit Carson TV show and then as Corp. Reyes in the 1950s Zorro TV series. The latter would signal the start of his long association with Zorro. He voiced characters for the 1980s animated series (The New Adventures of Zorro) and also appeared in the live-action Zorro and Son series.

Long story short:
1. Wanna-thugs at IQ one night before league get pissed off at something James said. (including one who can "bench 400 pounds")
2. League guys don't back down, but make it pretty clear they don't want to fight.
3. Wanna-thugs leave
4. Someone (not naming names) flips them the bird as they drive off
5. Wanna-thugs pull a U-turn on Newcut and come back
6. Mr. "400 pounds" goes after someone (Brady?), lands a glancing blow to the mouth, but all his momentum is moving into a world of pain
7. "400 pounds" gets a right-cross that knocks him down, hard.
8. Wanna-thugs leave again... police report filed, etc...
In the process, one of them pushed James, messed up his leg.
To be fair, "400 lbs" was a giant douche, but I'm pretty sure that punch would have knocked most people the eff OUT.
I'm shocked the video hasn't been posted yet.
Yeah, Brady hit him back immediately. Dropped him. It was pretty obvious the guy was drunk and looking for a fight. Why he chose to fight Brady is beyond me.
As far as I know Brady is fine, but James is still having trouble with his leg.

New York, NY

About This Place
|Other Details
With roughly 8 million people and an estimated 170 foreign languages spoken, the most populous, diverse city in the U.S. is also the most expansive in terms of the sheer number of things to do, see and experience. New York's five boroughs (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island) add texture and appeal to a city that is unlike any other on Earth.
New York City's strategic location on a large East Coast harbor that feeds into the Atlantic Ocean contributed to its whirlwind growth. The 17th-century Dutch trading settlement evolved steadily into a global capital whose influence extends to almost every facet of modern culture and commerce. From food and fashion to finance and architecture, New York's impact remains as strong in this century as it was in the first four.
Perhaps New York's most enduring characteristic is its perpetual state of change. The city's development, its trends and neighborhoods ever shift, highlighting those features that do endure. Mainstays include the Statue of Liberty, an icon of freedom and democracy. And at the world's most-frequented tourist spot, Times Square, the faces and advertisements might change, but the bustle of people, shopping and entertainment remains the same. Myriad attractions, from the famous to the little-known, provide visitors with an endless list of things to do in New York. Not to miss are the perpetually bright lights of Broadway's Theatre District, the treasures of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the natural beauty of 843-acre Central Park in the middle of Manhattan.
Pepper a tour of New York attractions by sampling cuisine from some of the more than 20,000 restaurants in the city. Visit enclaves like Chinatown or Brighton Beach to find authentic ethnic food. Stumble across a gem among a more diverse mingle of establishments. On any given city block, you might find gourmet Peruvian kitchens next to pizza joints, celebrity hotspots and gritty all-night delis.
New York's fashion status is reflected in the bi-annual Fashion Week runway events and chic shopping that rivals designer offerings in Paris, Tokyo, London and Milan. International flagships and department stores are found in Midtown Manhattan, while Madison and Fifth Avenues are headquarters for couture and custom goods. Purists are drawn to the designer showrooms and fabric suppliers in the Garment District. The East Village and Lower East Side remain hubs of independent boutique shopping.
New York, in its scale and possibilities, can overwhelm visitors. For many, the solution is to strategize beforehand. Map out a list of things to do in New York. Consider your interests, from the arts and architecture to parks, fashion or sports. Go beyond the top attractions of New York and research things to do in different boroughs, to get a true sense of this diverse metropolis.
If all else fails, visit the Empire State Building Observatory and let the views of New York, from 1,050 feet above the city, inspire your next destination.

The problem: your whole life you have been told that you should sit up straight. Your parents may have started this. Then at school and work they would have carried it on and now you may even tell your children "sit up straight"!
However sitting straight puts excessive pressure on the joints of the spine, it loads the discs and weakens the spinal muscles. Because all of your weight centres on the lowest three joints of the back this makes them uncomfortable and the position impossible to maintain for longer than 20 minutes. It's for this reason most people slouch at work as sitting straight is not comfortable or easy to maintain. Especially if you do office work for 6 to 8 hours a day.

A true favorite of mine. I can listen to "I can't stand to see you cry" over and over. Been a fan since I moved to Detroit and started hittin' the local scenes and checkin for new music. Jay Dilla drums are unlike no other. Something bout that boom bap he creates that causes instant neck cramps from the head nodding his beats foster. Support great hip hop music and music in schools. Thanks, Dilla Dogg.

I can for the life of me not find the sampled used for
"Suppose she never takes me by the hand, suppose i never find that promised land".
as far as i know the beat is only 20 sec long, and was never used by anyone when he was alive.
I've really spent a long time looking for it. Does anyone have an idea what song he took it from?

LΛZER said 4 years ago:
@Bboom Bap: J.D. used the airhhorn or the "dilla beats" voice, because he wanted to mark his beats, because some people back then "jacked" his beats and even nowadays (Drake, Wiz, ...).
It's for better identification for the listeners that it is by him and not by somebody else.
Good look trying to find audio sources for some of them. Stones Throw is always pulling them from youtube, not just his beat tape stuff but anything of Dilla's on the ST label. I think there just mad they can't make money off 'em. Dilla's "official" discography on the ST website dosen't acknowledge Jay Stay Paid ('09) which was mostly compiled of Dilla's beat tapes. Btw Dilla produced Janet Jackson's "Got 'Till It's Gone", look it up, he was robbed of the credits. Please credit Dilla for this.
MrBlondNYC said 4 years ago:
It does get confusing when it comes to Dilla instrumentals. I'll try to find a few that I remember need correcting.
@Kid Who: That's cool. Btw the reason Dilla used the airhorn in Mantonix "King Of The Beats" is because he was the king of the beats :) Also Kidwho, MF Doom's "Gazillion Ear" samples Dilla's instrumental "Phantom Of The Synths" which I have entered in the data base.
@Everyone If you're submitting any Dilla produced entries after '06 please do a little research and see if the artist is simply rapping over one of Dilla's instrumentals from his '05 Beat CD Beat tapes. There's alot of entries on here that credit the original artist instead of Dilla's instrumental as the sampling artist.
MrBlondNYC said 4 years ago:
Can you dig up my old ATCQ/Jagger the Dagger submissions?
kidwho said 4 years ago:
To all users who have been submitting entries for Dilla with the Mantronix siren samples - we've reviewed this situation and have now decided to allow these submissions. Please disregard the previous rule we made about only listing one instance per album - we are now allowing all instances to be submitted. This goes for all other similar cases as well. I am currently doing a cleanup and approving the submissions for these from the users who submitted them first. If you have any questions please contact us via the Support email. Thanks!
We need ALOT more Dilla samples up here, LET'S GO!!!

Salam and peace, tomorrow evening an NPR story that includes GZ will air on Marketplace. We spent the day with the reporter and tried our best to share our–and your–values. A major angle of the story is the professional relationship between GZ and KOL Foods, GZ for the Kosher community.
We hope it raises awareness of the importance of conscious eating, and perhaps shines a light on the reality of Islam that gets lost sometimes in the present geo-political discussions–it's a deeply spiritually nourishing tradition that helps us to strive to be better people who seek harmony with all creation. Part of this is returning to our classical view of halal (and tayyib), hence the title 'higher halal'. Factory farms that devalue animals into simple raw materials and strip them of any sacredness go against the very spirit of halal.
Tune in and let us know what you think, but don't be too harsh–honest it was a long day so we don't know how it'll turn out :-). We'll be posting the link once its up.

This program attracts distinguished leaders in business, academia, and public affairs to Claremont McKenna College for one-on-one interactions with students. Khalilzad is the twelfth Pacesetters Fellow.
Asian Innovation and American Competitiveness
The emergence of India and China as economic powers has shifted the global landscape and called into question the ability of the United States to compete and maintain its technological lead. Recasting the stakes of the debate, Adam Segal, an expert on technology and foreign policy, makes the compelling case for the crucial role of the "software" of innovation. By strengthening its politics, social relations, and institutions that move ideas from the lab to the marketplace, the United States can play to its greatest economic strengths and preserve its position as a global power. With up-to-the-minute economic and political data, this is a resounding call to tie innovation to larger social goals in an age of global science and technology.
Adam Segal is the Ira A. Lipman senior fellow for counterterrorism and national security studies at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). An expert on security issues, technology development, and Chinese domestic and foreign policy, Dr. Segal currently leads study groups on cybersecurity and cyber conflict as well as Asian innovation and technological entrepreneurship. His forthcoming book Advantage: How American Innovation Can Overcome the Asian Challenge (W.W. Norton, 2011) looks at the technological rise of Asia. He is a research associate of the National Asia Research Program and was the project director for a CFR-sponsored independent task force on Chinese military modernization.
Before coming to CFR, Dr. Segal was an arms control analyst for the China Project at the Union of Concerned Scientists. There, he wrote about missile defense, nuclear weapons, and Asian security issues. He has been a visiting scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for International Studies, the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, and Tsinghua University in Beijing. He has taught at Vassar College and Columbia University. Dr. Segal is the author of Digital Dragon: High-Technology Enterprises in China (Cornell University Press, 2003), as well as several articles and book chapters on Chinese technology policy. His work has recently appeared in the International Herald Tribune, Financial Times, Washington Quarterly, Los Angeles Times, and Foreign Affairs. He currently writes for the blog, Asia Unbound.
Dr. Segal has a B.A. and Ph.D. in government from Cornell University, and an M.A. in international relations from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University. He reads and speaks Chinese. His visit to Claremont McKenna College is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
Fresh Medicine: How to Fix, Reform and Build a Sustainable Health Care System
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Philip Bredesen is the former Democratic governor of Tennessee. Before being elected governor in 2002, and reelected in 2006, he was mayor of Nashville, and prior to that the founder and CEO of HealthAmerica Corporation, a public managed care company. Bredesen graduated from Harvard in 1967 with a bachelor's degree in physics.
After decades of failed attempts and a year of bitter partisan debate, President Obama and Congress signed legislation to overhaul the nation's health care system in March 2010. One of the most important pieces of legislation to pass in recent history, and also one of the most divisive, The Affordable Care Act intends to expand access to medical insurance to more than thirty million additional Americans. Republicans voted unanimously against the bill in both the House and Senate, and it was a key issue in the 2010 midterm elections, and there are efforts underway to repeal the legislation.
In Fresh Medicine: How to Fix, Reform and Build a Sustainable Health Care System (2011), Bredesen opens with a critical and disarming examination of the new reform. He cites the addition of more than 30 million more people into an obsolete broken system as critical to its failure, and suggests little has been done to address underlying problems. Rather than providing real solutions, he argues that Congress and the Obama Administration are simply adding layers of bureaucracy and complexity to an already failing system. He maintains that a basic level of health care should be a universal right for all citizens and that without dealing with the tough problems—cost, sustainability, and quality—true reform will continue to elude us.
Copies of Fresh Medicine will be available for purchase and signing at the lunch.
The Israel-Palestine Conflict: Sinking in the Shifting Sands?
The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians needs to be understood not in isolation, but in the context of the entire social and political construct of the modern Middle East. Artificially cobbled together at the end of World War I by the British and the French, the current states in the Middle East are built on unstable foundations. Without the larger umbrella of the Ottoman Empire, and with failed states at the intermediate level, the region is slipping into traditional tribalism, built variously along conflicting religious, ethnic and cultural lines. Out of this political and social disintegration there have emerged a variety of competing visions for how to stabilize what is a vastly diverse and mulitcultural region. The contours of the Israel-Palestine conflict take on a different character when seen in the light of these larger tectonic faults and shifts. Such shifting sands help explain the frustrations of the peace process.
College campuses around the country have been wrought by heated debates over the past few years over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including the nearby University of California, Irvine. Consistent with its mission to provide an opportunity for understanding through civil discourse, the Athenaeum is pleased to host Professor Peter Haas, a rabbi and the Abba Hillel Silver Professor of Jewish Studies at Case Western Reserve University.
Professor Haas is also the president of Scholars of Peace in the Middle East (SPME) whose goal is to seek a peace in the Middle East that is "consistent both with Israel's right to exist as a sovereign Jewish state within safe and secure borders, and with the rights and legitimate aspirations of her neighbors." To that end, SPME unites faculty who are opposed to divestment from Israel and boycotts of Israeli academics. SPME also advocates for civil dialogue on all sides of the issue. SPME has over 40 chapters on campuses nationwide.
Women and Leadership: See Jane Lead
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Dr. Lois Frankel, President of Corporate Coaching International, a Pasadena, California consulting firm, literally wrote the book on coaching people to succeed in businesses large and small around the globe. Her books Nice Girls Don't Get The Corner Office: 101 Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers (2004) and Nice Girls Don't Get Rich: 75 Avoidable Mistakes Women Make with Money (2005) are international bestsellers translated into over twenty-five languages worldwide. Stop Sabotaging Your Career: 8 Proven Strategies to Succeed - in Spite of Yourself (2007), a book based on her experiences as a pioneer in the field of business coaching working with everyone from CEOs to entry-level professionals, is a must-read for both men and women.

Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention
Malcolm X today has iconic status in the pantheon of multicultural American heroes for several reasons. Malcolm's greatest strength was his ability to reinvent himself in order to function and even thrive in a wide variety of contexts. He presented a narrative of suffering and resistance that captured the imaginations of black people throughout the world. Behind that narrative was a revolutionary vision. He criticized black middle class leaders, for example, for failing to articulate the anger and frustrations of the ghetto. He changed the discourse of race internationally as well, by arguing that the United Nations, not the U.S. Congress or the White House, had to be the central forum for black politics. He drew parallels between the struggles against racism in Mississippi, and the racism of South African apartheid and colonialism in Africa. Malcolm envisioned a modern version of Pan-Africanism, based on a politics of global antiracism. Finally, Malcolm also represents the most important bridge between the American people and more than one billion Muslims throughout the world.
Having either written or edited nearly 20 books and scholarly anthologies, Dr. Manning Marable is one of the most influential and widely read intellectuals in the United States. Dr. Marable's books and anthologies include: The Great Wells of Democracy: The Meaning of Race in American Life (2003); Freedom on My Mind: The Columbia Documentary History of the African American Experience (2003); Freedom: A Photographic History of the African American Struggle (2005); Let Nobody Turn Us Around: Voices of Resistance, Reform, and Renewal: An African-American Anthology (1999); and, most recently, 2011's much-anticipated Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention, scheduled to be released April 4.
Marable is the M. Moran Weston and Black Alumni Council Professor of African-American Studies and professor of history and public affairs at Columbia University. At Columbia University, he was the founding director of Institute for Research in African-American Studies. Since 2002, he has directed Columbia's Center for Contemporary Black History. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 1976 and has previously taught at Cornell University, Fisk University, Colgate University, Ohio State University and the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Widely respected for his insight on the politics of race in America, Dr. Marable also champions the struggles of racial minorities, women, lesbian, gay, labor and social justice groups. His richly detailed yet powerful presentations generate interest and greater understanding about black history and America's racial dilemma.
An Evening with the Poet
There is a strong case to be made that James Fenton is the finest poet writing in English. His technical virtuosity is beyond doubt; his long experience as war correspondent, journalist and traveller has given him an unmatched range of subject matter - war and revolution, the dementia of collective passions, reflections on fate, and love - he has written some of the most beautiful love poems of our times. He is a poet of great emotional depth and wisdom. Increasingly, his work has a strong connection with song. He also has a taste for light verse of exquisite charm and humour. He is a modern master.
- Ian McEwan
James Fenton was born in Lincoln in 1949 and educated at Magdalen College, Oxford where he won the Newdigate Prize for poetry. He has worked as political journalist, drama critic, book reviewer, war correspondent, foreign correspondent and columnist. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and was Oxford Professor of Poetry for the period 1994-99. In 2007, Fenton was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry.
Fenton's Selected Poems (2006) is published by Penguin and Farrar, Straus and Giroux. He is also the editor of The New Faber Book of Love Poems (2008) and D. H. Lawrence's Selected Poems (2009) (Penguin).
James Fenton's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
Women in Finance: Can You Achieve Work/Life Satisfaction?
The Women and Leadership Series is a joint endeavor to support and promote student programs at Claremont McKenna College that will highlight issues faced by women in leadership in business, government and the professions, as well as draw attention to the centennial celebration of International Women's Day on March 8, 2011. Entities currently involved include the Kravis Leadership Institute, the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children, the Office of Development, the Robert Day School of Economics and Finance, the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum, the Dean of Students Office, and the Claremont Graduate University.
"Women in Finance: Can You Achieve Work/Life Satisfaction?" is a panel discussion sponsored by the Berger Institute for Work, Family and Children and the Robert Day School of Economics and Finance. Panel members: Heidi Cruz, Vice President in the Investment Management Division at Goldman, Sachs & Co; Tiffany Kosch, Managing Director of Bayside Capital; and Jill W. Mullen, former Managing Director for GE Capital Services in Stamford, Connecticut and First Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Merrill Lynch & Co. in New York.
The Guardians of Finance: Making Them Work For Us
LUNCH 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Ross Levine is the James and Merryl Tisch Professor of Economics at Brown University, Director of the William R. Rhodes Center for International Economics and Finance, and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Ross Levine received his Ph.D. in economics from UCLA in 1987. After working at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for three years, Dr. Levine moved to the World Bank, where he managed research and operational programs. Since moving to academia, Professor Levine has consulted regularly with the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Federal Reserve Banks, the Bank for International Settlements, and several central banks around the world. Dr. Levine had published over 100 articles and he is among the ten most cited scholars in economics and business. Professor Levine's work focuses on the linkages between financial sector policies, the operation of financial systems, and the functioning of the economy. His book, Rethinking Bank Regulation: Till Angels Govern (2005), challenges common approaches to the regulation of banks, and his book, Guardians of Finance: Making Them Work for Us, MIT Press, will be published in the fall of 2011.
Greedy bankers, the popping of the housing bubble, and incompetent rating agencies were not the primary causes of the global financial crisis. Rather, senior policymakers and regulators — the Guardians of Finance — repeatedly designed, implemented, and maintained policies that they knew were recklessly endangering the financial system. Current reforms do not fix the systemic institutional weaknesses with the regulatory apparatus. Thus, current reforms represent only a partial and thus incomplete step in establishing a stable and well-functioning financial system. This book makes proposals for how to induce the Guardians of Finance to work for the public.

CMC Forum Idea Night at the Ath: Tailoring- Past, Present, and Future
CMC Forum Idea Night at the Ath: The J-Term
Last year's "Idea Night" saw a number of Athenaeum firsts: a marijuana-inspired theory on a robot utopia, an enormous photo of a presenter's biceps, even a reenactment of a Roman execution. Luckily for you, the Forum has somehow convinced the staff of the Athenaeum to let it happen again. Thus, the Forum is proud to announce that it is now accepting applications for the opportunity to compete for a yet to be announced prize.
If you don't know what Idea Night is, it could be described as an event somewhere between a thesis-defense with a shot clock and a start-up pitch with a gourmet meal and wine for those of an "appropriate age".
Students are invited to submit papers, projects, or original research for the enjoyment of the CMC community online at CMCForum.com. Participants and their topics will be selected by a committee of student representatives for uniqueness, interest, and quality. We are looking for interesting arguments on any topic politics, culture, CMC, etc and although the content will vary greatly, the form will remain constant: each participant will have 10 minutes, a projector, and a podium.
What would you change about CMC? How can we solve the job crisis? How are you going to make your first billion? Why is Katy Perry the greatest musician to ever live? Why should we fuel our cars with Four Loko? How will Sarah Palin revolutionize politics/wolf hunting from helicopters?
Presentation skills will be valued equally alongside content. At the end of the event, the audience will be asked to rank the speakers on their interest and persuasiveness, and while everyone will get a token of our appreciation, the winner will be awarded a special prize.
The Upside of Irrationality
Mary Pickford Auditorium, 4:00 p.m.
Dan Ariely is the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University and is the founder of The Center for Advanced Hindsight. Ariely holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a Ph.D. in business from Duke University. Apart from his prolific academic writing, he published two popular books, one titled Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces that Shape Our Decisions (2009), and the other titled The Upside of Irrationality: The Unexpected Benefits of Defying Logic at Work and at Home (2010), both of which became New York Times best sellers.
In his lecture at Mary Pickford Auditorium, Professor Ariely will discuss some of the challenges and underlying benefits of irrationalities in our day-to-day life. Using behavioral economic principles as a starting point, he will look at how these irrationalities affect our day-to-day behaviors both in the workplace and in our personal lives.
Dan Ariely's visit to CMC is jointly sponsored by the Robert Day School for Business and Finance and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.

Quick presentation
Why ?
Two minutes tutorial
... soon to come ...
(yeah I know, it'll be done in the morning before you even get up Greg )
Puzzles' aim is to provide an easy way to add functionalities to an application through plugins. Puzzles will hide from you the burden and complexity of handling dynamic class loading, plugins storage, notifications, etc. It's a rather small library with no external dependency and quite easy to use.
A package is a file containing everything the plugin needs. In most cases the package will be a zip or jar file, containing images, css files, jar files, etc.
A PackageReader is an object that knows to read inside a package, and access the files it contains. As long as you use plugins packaged as zip/jar files, you only need to use the ZipPackageReader that comes bundled with Puzzles.
A PluginStore is a repository where the plugins' packages (zip/jar files mainly) will be saved. Most commonly, the store will be a folder on the local file system.
The PluginDescriptor is metainformation about the plugin. It contains information about the name of the plugin, the author, a URL where more information can be found, but also specifies how to instanciate the plugin (in case the plugin contains java code) and the public resources of the plugin. By "Public resources", we refer to any file in the package that are to be available outside of the plugin's scope: typically, you don't want the jar libraries to be available, so you won't declare them as public resource. But if your plugin contains images that you want to display in a web application, the image will have to be declared as a public resource.
This is an object that is able to build a PluginDescriptor instance from a file. So far, Puzzles only comes with a PluginDescriptorBuilder that builds descriptors from java's properties files.
A PluginLoader has two roles: the first one is to be a front-end to the PackageReader and PluginDescriptorBuilder, so that higher level objects don't have to deal with the Package/Descriptor stuff. The second role is to load the jar dependencies of the plugin (if there are any) and to instanciate the Plugin itself.
The PluginRegistry is what you'll deal with: it hides the Storing/Loading/Reading/etc. from you. It knows which plugins are installed, it knows how to give you URLs to the plugins' resources, it can install new plugins, uninstall previously installed plugins, etc., it notifies its listeners when plugins are installed or uninstalled.
Any object that implements this interface and that is added to the registry's PluginListeners will be notified when a plugin is installed/uninstalled.
Two minutes tutorial
For this tutorial, we'll build a simple stupid command line application that echoes every line you type: if you enter "toto" and press return, the program will display "toto". Simple, yes, but, let's add a possibility to extend the application: before displaying what you typed, the text will be handled to a Decorator, and those decorators will be our plugins, when the application is first started, there are no plugin:
First, our Decorator interface:
|Code Block
package puzzles.tutorial;
public interface Decorator{
public String decorate(String toDecorate);
then our main class:
|Code Block
package puzzles.tutorial;
public class SillyApp{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, StoreException {
//create a store where the plugins will be stored
PluginStore ps = new SimpleFileSystemStore(new File("/home/puzzles/tutorial/plugins/"));
//then create the registry that will manage our plugins
//we give it as parameters a PluginLoader, and a Class
//Decorator.class => if we try to deploy a plugin whose main class
//does not implement Decorator then a PluginException will be thrown.
//The PluginLoader is a NoArgConstructorLoader => the plugins will have to have
//a constructor with no arguments, be packaged in a zip file (or jar)
// and the plugin descriptor will have to be named "descriptor.properties"
PluginRegistry<Decorator> pr = new SimplePluginRegistry<Decorator>(ps,
new NoArgConstructorLoader<Decorator>(new PropertiesBasedDescriptorBuilder(),
new ZipPackageReader("descriptor.properties")),
//this map wil hold our plugins' instances
//NB: this is just to show a usage of PluginListener,
//normally you would just query the PluginRegistry to get the instance
//of the plugin you want
final Map<String, Decorator> decoratorss = new HashMap<String, Decorator>();
//let's add an anonymous plugin listener:
pr.addPluginListener(new PluginListener<Decorator>() {
//will be called when a plugin is SUCCESSFULLY installed
public void installedPlugin(PackagedPlugin<Decorator> packagedPlugin) {
String name = packagedPlugin.getPluginDescriptor().getName();
decorators.put(name, packagedPlugin.getPlugin());
System.out.println("installing plugin [" + name + "]");
//will be called when a plugin is SUCCESSFULLY uninstalled
public void uninstalledPlugin(PackagedPlugin<Decorator> packagedPlugin) {
String name = packagedPlugin.getPluginDescriptor().getName();
System.out.println("uninstalling plugin [" + name + "]");
//to read from the command line
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
//we start up the registry to load the plugins that might already be in the store
while (true) {
String cmd = br.readLine();
//if starts with install, we try to install a plugin => the second word is
// the location of the plugin package on the file system
if (cmd.startsWith("install")) {
String filename = cmd.substring(cmd.indexOf(" ")).trim();
File plugin = new File(filename);
try {
} catch (StoreException e) {
System.out.println("error in the store while installing plugin [" + filename + "]");
} catch (PluginException e) {
System.out.println("error while installing plugin [" + filename + "]");
} else if (cmd.startsWith("uninstall")) {//second word is the name of the plugin to uninstall
String pluginName = cmd.substring(cmd.indexOf(" ")).trim();
try {
} catch (PluginNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("No such plugin [" + e.getPluginName() + "]");
} catch (StoreException e) {
System.out.println("Error while removing plugin [" + pluginName + "] from the store");
} else if (cmd.startsWith("quit") || cmd.startsWith("exit")) {
} else {
int endIndex = cmd.indexOf(" ");
//if there are several words, the first one is considered to be the potential name of a plugin
if (endIndex > 0) {
String firstWord = cmd.substring(0, endIndex);
String lastWords = cmd.substring(endIndex + 1);
//let's get the decorator from our Map
Decorator decorator = decorators.get(firstWord.trim());
if (decorator != null) {
//there is a decorator with the name we type
//so we display the decorated version of the rest of the line
} else {
//no decorator was found, we just echo what was typed
} else {
//just one word typed, we display it
ok so you can run that now. type "border HaHaHa I'm using the internet!" and the program will answer
|No Format
border HaHaHa I'm using the internet!
Now let's write a plugin:
|Code Block
package puzzles.tutorial;
public class BorderDecorator implements Decorator{
public String decorate(String toDecorate){
int length = toDecorate.length()+2;
String line = "+";
for (int i = 0 ; i<length;i++){
return line+"\n"+"| "+toDecorate+" |\n"+line;
compile it and package it in a jar named border_plugin.jar (the name in itself is not important, but we reuse it later in the plugin descriptor)
then we write a plugin descriptor:
|Code Block
#the name of the plugin
description=a simple border plugin
#the class to be instanciated
#the jars to load in order to instanciate the plugin
#and some resources, there are none here
finally let's zip all that in a file called myFirstPuzzlesPlugin.zip. So you now have a zip file which contains a jar file and a properties file, let's run the application again:
type "border HaHaHa I'm using the internet!" and the program will still answer
|No Format
border HaHaHa I'm using the internet!
now type "install /path/to/zipfile/myFirstPuzzlesPlugin.zip"
Now you should see:
|No Format
installing plugin [border]
now type again "border HaHaHa I'm using the internet!" and you will see:
|No Format
| HaHaHa I'm using the internet! |
there you go, you just used a plugin !

Club competitions
National team competitions
13-24, 14-21, 21-14, 19-26
EWE Baskets stormed into the last 16 of the EuroChallenge with a convincing 85-67 road win over Szolnoki Olaj to stay perfect in Group F.
Knowing that a win of any kind would be enough to take them through the Germans wasted little time in taking control of the game, with a 10-0 run late in the first quarter powering them into a 23-8 lead on Dru Joyce's three-point play.
After they scored the opening nine points of the second period to lead 33-13 on Rickey Paulding's three-pointer the game seemed as good as over, and it was as much as the hosts could do to stem the bleeding and keep the lead around the 20-point margin up to half-time.
Joyce made it 45-23 to EWE Baskets before Szolnoki got the final four points of the half to trail 45-27 at the break following Ernests Kalve's dunk.
The third quarter was much more productive for the hosts as they began to claw their way back into contention, briefly threatening an unlikely comeback.
Sead Sehovic's lay-up capped a 7-0 run that made it 52-40 and when Brandon Gay hit a three-pointer late in the third it was back within single figures, 57-48.
That is roughly where it stayed until two minutes into the fourth quarter when Paulding took over once more, nailing two three-pointers to start a 13-2 run that made it 76-56 on Konrad Wysocki's three-point play with 4:16 left.
From that point, there was no way back for the hosts.
Joyce led EWE Baskets with 15 points while Paulding had 14, Wysocki 13 and Adam Chubb 11. Ronald Burrell also reached double figures with 10 points.
Gay led Szolnoki with 12 points while Balazs Simon had 10. Sehovic scored eight while grabbing 10 rebounds.

Szolnok head coach Péter Pór"We slept the first quarter of the match. We had a lot of missed shots. In the second half we tried everything but it didn't work."Szolnok player Ákos Horváth"Our start was terrible and shameful."
Oldenburg head coach Sebastian Machowski"It was a good test for us in this small gym and excellent atmosphere. We fought for the balls. We controlled the match throughout."
Oldenburg player Christopher Kramer"It was a good game, good atmosphere and we hade good offense and defense. We gave up some free balls but when we had some bad moments, the team stayed together."

Ruan Pienaar is a vital component to a Springbok match day squad capable of world rugby domination.
Pienaar will start in the absence of Fourie du Preez against Argentina in Mendoza, but Pienaar's ultimate value to the Bok cause will be as a player who provides cover for 9, 10, 14 and 15 and who provides back-up as a goal kicker.
Pienaar is a very good goal kicker and has excelled for Ulster in this role. He is also a very good starting scrumhalf, even though he (like every other South African scrumhalf) is never going to offer the unique talent of Du Preez.
However, with Du Preez showing he still has the desire to play for the Boks and, if fit, the obvious first choice in the lead in to the 2015 World Cup, Pienaar's role changes.
Pienaar's versatility allows for Bok coach Heyneke Meyer to stack the bench with forwards and play a six-two forwards and backs split. Pienaar covers every position except centre and he covers the goalkicker. This allows for the accommodation of a specialist centre among the substitutes.
Having Du Preez and Pienaar available opens huge opportunities to Meyer that are not options to any other international coaches.
The potency of the Boks was illustrated because of the quality of the bench in the Rugby Championship opener against the Pumas in Soweto. The Boks were able to increase the tempo of the game and be ruthless. They lost nothing in terms of quality when the likes of Bismarck du Plessis and Fourie du Preez were introduced.
Imagine the impact of introducing a near complete pack of forwards with 20 or 30 minutes to go?
South Africa's forward pack currently is looking very good. To be able to play 14 out of a possible 16 Bok forwards in a game is the equivalent of having a one man advantage – and it's down to Pienaar.

Novak Biddle Venture Partners is looking to raise less than $150 million for its sixth fund, an amount less than two thirds the size of its prior fund, according to VentureWire.
From VentureWire:
Novak Biddle General Partner Prashanth "PV" Boccasam said there's "too much money skewing the venture model," creating "over-hyped, over-funded venture start-ups" at a time when start-ups need less money than ever to prosper. "Smaller funds will have much better returns. It's the best way to invest" …
