Darren Young of the WWE just came out and admitted that he is gay. Oddly enough, he made this revelation while waiting for his luggage as TMZ caught up with him…
The WWE issued a statement about Darren:
WWE is proud of Darren Young for being open about his sexuality, and we will continue to support him as a WWE Superstar. Today, in fact, Darren will be participating in one of our Be A Star anti-bullying rallies in Los Angeles to teach children how to create positive environments for everyone regardless of age, race, religion or sexual orientation.
A lot of people are saying they have a new found respect for him…including me...I think it's great that he said it, and I only hope for the best for him! Based on this…when did a celebrity do something that gave you a new found respect for them? Here are some of the texts we got:
I got respect for Jim Carrey when he came out against gun violence
I really appreciate Johnny Depp after finding out that he travels with his Captain Jack Sparrow outfit to visit children and Children's Hospital this from KC in Puyallup
I always thought Tom Cruise was a dusche until I saw him dancing as the character he played on tropic thunder.
Robert downy jr refused ironman 3 unless all the other actors got a raise
When Justin Timberlake went on SNL I had no idea he was so damn funny. I figured he was just a boy band douche. Melder from Bonney Lake
Russle Wilson! Every Tuesday him and his wife go to the hospital to visit sick kids. Respect go hawks!!!!!! Karl from your mommas house
When I learned that Tom Cruise stopped when he saw someone hit by a car then accompanied them to the hospital and paid their bill. –Bjorn
Have a newfound respect for Mel Gibson after he told his gold digging wife to f off
Speaking of the WWE, I am beyond excited as I am getting to go to Summerslam this weekend in LA! There are so many great matches on the Pay Per View…it's going to be awesome. The highlight will be seeing CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar, and I am extremely excited to see John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan! If you missed their last promo for this match…watch this, it's the best Cena has been on the mic in a long time…and Daniel Bryan delivers big time!

Respect for someone famous
Back when I was 7 or 8 during the time after the Sonics won the championship, My older brother and I got to ride in a cherry red convertible with Supersonics legend Slick Watts during Seafair. It was pretty awesome! I had a new respect for that guy afterthat.

Great Cook Top
By carlhall2
from Litchfield Park, AZ, United States
Comments about GE 35.5" Gas Cooktop - Stainless Steel:
Cooks great, evenly distributes flame, a lot better than my last electric stove
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

from Palm Desert, CA, United States
This came with the new town home and we like having five burners.
By 388Jo
from California
My last GE Cooktop failed within 4 yrs. As all my appliances are GE I felt it must have been due to my Hubby over-flowing his maple syrup on a burner causing the igniter to get sticky, causing, tick, tick, tick. Much cheaper to buy a new one. This unit is so much better than my last one. Heavier grates, easier cleaning, and fires up quickly. so happy. I believe i'll get plenty of good use from this unit. I also have an extended warranty just in case.
Works great!
By colleenj

We love this cook top, it was in our new home when we purchased it.
Just installed
By rbm638
from Undisclosed
I know we are going to love it. Burners have a wide range of adjustments. Continuous grates will make it easy to move pots around and it just looks good !!

Brand new stovetop but Knobs keep breaking :(
By CJJONES
from Denver, CO
This stovetop was installed in a brand new house we bought from the builder. After just one week, a knob broke, then during the second week of use...two more broke! I have called CS to complain, and the broken knobs will be replaced, however, I'm sure they will keep breaking as they are made from cheap plastic. Are there metal - brushed nickel - replacements for these?? We are totally frustrated with this stovetop!!!!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Fantastic product!
By Margret
from Houston, TX, United States
Purchased this 3 months ago as a replacement of a 10 year cooktop
Works Flawlessly!
By Jaiden143
from Las Vegas, NV, United States
Stove came with the house, very easy to clean and works excellent so far, been over a year.
Nice gas range
By mt_4_us
from Castle Rock, CO, United States
This product was pre-installed on a new home purchase. We had no input into the decision. The stove works well and I enjoy cooking on gas. Stainless steel is difficult to keep looking clean at all times. I also do not like the placement of the controls; they are right in an area that can get splatters causing difficulty in cleanup.
Works great, but isn't perfectly flush.
By Andrewandjillian
from Murrieta, CA, United States
We purchased a new home and this was pre-installed. We love the range and use it several times a week. It's easy to clean and has a beautiful stainless steel finish. For whatever reason our range isn't perfectly flush with our granite and one side sits up about 1/4" from the granite. We would also like it more if it had a fast boil burner.

Afghan relations with Pakistan at new low
"It is not a tempest in a teapot," said Michael O'Hanlon, a fellow at the Washington-based Brookings Institution. "An increasing number of Afghans have figured out how much of a hand Islamabad has had in all the violence over the years.
"If there is a silver lining, it's that Islamabad needs to know that the world has figured them out and that they can't continue their double game indefinitely and get away with it. Some Pakistanis know that already. Many still need to understand it."
Relations between Islamabad and Kabul had been improving in recent months.
Karzai had lauded Pakistan's decision to work for peace and help Afghanistan reach out to the Taliban, whose leaders are thought to be based in Pakistan.
In July, when British Prime Minister David Cameron visited Kabul and met with Karzai and the Pakistani prime minister, they pledged to work together to eliminate terrorism and agreed that peace in Afghanistan would help improve security in Pakistan.
In October, Salahuddin Rabbani, the current head of the peace council and the son of the ex-Afghan president who was slain, visited Islamabad and presented Pakistan with a plan to bring peace to his country by 2015. That plan included the active participation of Pakistan.
A month later, Pakistan's foreign minister gave the Afghans a draft agreement for a strategic partnership and Pakistani army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani made a visit to Kabul. That visit further bolstered Afghan hopes that Islamabad was committed to peace and good relations.
NATO, Afghanistan and Pakistan signed a deal for better military coordination on the border, and equally important, Afghan officials said Kayani not only indicated support for the Afghan peace plan, but said that it should be accelerated from 2015 to 2013.
At a February meeting in London, the leaders of Afghanistan and Pakistan further cemented their relationship. At the meeting, it was announced that Afghanistan and Pakistan had committed themselves to trying to achieve peace within six months.
But Afghan officials said the meeting was not as rosy at it seemed.
They said Islamabad demanded three preconditions: That Afghanistan limit its relations with India - Pakistan's archenemy; reach a domestic consensus on peace; and immediately sign a strategic partnership with Pakistan.
Instead of the preconditions, the Afghans said they were expecting Pakistan to take its own steps toward fostering peace talks, including the release of the former No. 2 Taliban leader, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar. Afghan officials hoped that Baradar and other imprisoned members of the Taliban can help bring the Taliban to the peace talks. In January, Pakistan's foreign secretary had said Islamabad would eventually release all Taliban prisoners.
"Pakistan is continuing with delaying tactics in their support of the peace process by demanding a supposed intra-Afghan consensus on the peace process at a time that a national consensus to end the violence is the strongest it has ever been for the past decade," Mosazai told the AP.
Western officials have said that the Afghan government was too optimistic about what Pakistan was ready to give, especially on the release of Baradar, and that they should show patience.

Game Theory (Notes)
Prepared by:
Joseph Malkevitch
Department of Mathematics
York College (CUNY)
Jamaica, New York 11451
web page:
The materials below were developed for both graduate and undergraduate courses taught under the title "Game Theory." The philosphy of these courses is to cover as broad a range of topics with a game theory flavor as possible. It it generally easier to get a deeper knowledge of a subject X where one has seen the key ideas and some of the major results than it is to start off reading in a book devoted only to the content of topic X.
Game Theory, here, refers primarily to the analysis using mathematical tools of conflict situations as they arise in business, economics, and political science. The subject was "put on the map" by the work of the mathematician John Von Neumann and the economist Oskar Morgenstern. However, there will also be a brief treatment of what have come to be called combinatorial games. Nim is perhaps the best known of such games. These ideas are related to a mathematical understanding of games such as chess and Go.
Generic Syllabus
Some new materials added for Spring, 2015.
Here is an exmaple that suggests that people knowledgeable about game theory use these ideas in situations that involve political confrontations. This article is about the issue of Greek debt but there have been similar speculations with regard to the flareup of tensions in the Ukraine.
Game Theory Related to the Greek Debt Crisis
Some new materials added for Fall, 2014.
This new game theory web page has some interesting resources and charts some milestones in the history of game theory, including being able to download a copy of Nash's doctoral thesis.
Game Theory web site (Italy)
The winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics is Jean Tirole. Tirole was born in 1953. Among his many contributions to economics, Tirole has done work in game theory. Here is the link to the wiki article about him and his work:

Some new materials added for Summer, 2014.
One of the giants of game theory and optimization theory, Harold Kuhn died at 88 recently. Here is a brief account of his life:
Obituary for Harold Kuhn
An active center for Game Theory in the United States is SUNY at Stony Brook. This year celebrates the 25th anniversary of the game theory center there. This year's conference has many stellar speakers and interesting presentations:

25th Anniversity: Stony Brook Game Theory Center
Here is a nice feature article about the work of two mathematical economists, originally from Turkey, Tayfun Sonmez and Utku Unver that talks about applications of game theory. These two scholoars have made important contributions to mechanism design and two-sided markets, in particular to the theory of school choice problems.
The work of Tayfun Sonmez and Utku Unver
Some new materials added for Fall, 2013.
is a short collection of problems (pdf file) that is designed to encourgage students to think about problems related to the Gale-Shapley "marriage problem." What is involved is taking the preferences of n men for n women and these n women for the n men and pairing the men and women in a "stable" way. There are many applications to this circle of ideas, including the pairing of hospitals and medical residents. Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapley recently won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for work related to these ideas. Other materials related to the Gale-Shapley model appear further below on this web page.
An on-line version of the above problems, rather than a pdf file is also
Some new materials added for Summer, 2013.
Here is another game theory journal, this one being open access, which supplements the list of other journals given below:
Games - open access game theory journal
The University of Zurich has a group of people who work on mechanism design questions which has close ties to game theory. It is known as the ESEI Center for Market Design (Engineering Social and Economic Institutions). A description of their work can be found
and they have interesting
working papers
, some of which have educational implications.
Here is a handout "sampler" which illustrates some questions in the spirit of mathematical modeling that deal with game theory and fairness situations. The handout is similar but not identical to others found below.
Modeling Situations in Game Theory and Fairness
Some new materials added for Spring, 2013.
Syllabus, Spring 2013
Here is a sampler of problems and situations which are "informed" by ideas from the theory of games. Many game theory problems and models arise from the broader arena of fairness models. Some of the examples I give have strong ties to game theory and/or were pioneered by game theorists but belong to the domain of fairness models. Many fairness problems have lots of "emotional" content (e.g. should women in the military be able to serve in front line combat operations; LSBG issues, access to abortion, etc.) but here I try to restrict myself to game theory and fairness problems which are amenable to mathematical insights, though "political" and "emotional" fairness issues are no less important (and sometimes profit from mathematical analysis).
Game Theory Sampler
Here is some course information, as well as links to blogs that deal with game theory, economics, fairness and equity, computational issues, market design, and mechanism design. There is also a link to the American Mathematical Society Feature Column which has a variety of articles dealing with game theory and fairness related issues.
Course Information and Game Theory blogs
This note suggests some questions for you related to game theory and equity situations. The questions raise ways to get students in K-12 thinking about the role games play in society and ways that mathematics might be used to get insight into games.
Some questions related to the game theory environment
Wikipedia has many articles related to game theory. These articles are available associated with each of a variety of game theory terms provided below.
Game Theory Terminology - Wikipedia
Here are some practice problems involving the use of dominant strategy analysis for zero-sum games. Other issues are finding optimal pure strategies versus optimal mixed strategies in zero-sum games. Solving these problems involves the use of elementary probability theory as well as factoring and/or the algebra of linear equations.
Practice Problems: Zero-Sum Games
Here are some notes about matrix games which contrast the behavior of games where a dominant strategy analysis can be carried out compared with what a game that does not allow dominant strategy analysis.
Matrix games - the zero-sum case
Here is a list with live links of many of the reserach journals that publish game theory and related equity and fairness articles.
Game Theory Journals
After I created the web page above I found a site that did something similar, including issues related to statistics and behavioral economics added to the game theory theme.
Mathematics and Statistics, Game Theory
More practice problems involving the basic ideas about zero-sum games.
Practice Problems-2: Zero-Sum Games
Graph theory, the study of geometrical diagrams consisting of dots and lines, has proved to be very valuable in all branches of mathematics. A very abbreviated primer of this subject (one page!) is provided.
Graph Theory Primer
Here are some practice problems involving the basic ideas about non-zero-sum games. Non-zero-sum games are much more subtle than the zero-sum ones. One needs to understand the difference between pure strategies and mixed strategies, the notion of an equilibrium or stable outcome. These questions try to give insights into these ideas.
Practice Problems-3: Non-Zero-Sum Games
Non-zero-sum games lack many of the more transparent nice properties of zero-sum games. One thing that does get retained is the notion of Nash equilibrium. Unfortunately, though, there is no guarantee that playing a Nash equilibrium strategy is an appealing choice, since in many non-zero-sum games there will be outomces that are "Pareto improvements" over a Nash equilibrium. This means that there are outcomes that at least one player prefers and which are not worse for the other player.
Notes on Nash equilibria and Non-Zero-Sum Games
Here are some practice problems involving the basic ideas about voting. To construct a mathematical modeling of voting requires one have candidates (choices), voters, ballots (to allow the voters to express their preferences about the choices), and election decision methods (how to use the ballots to decide on a winner, or a ranking for choices). Elections come up in deciding on a governor, a president or a major, but also in choosing what to serve at the company picnic, best picture of the year, or who to hire from a list of candidates for a job. Pioneering work was done by Borda, Condorcet, Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) and Kenneth Arrow. This is a very appealing topic for teaching arithmetic, logic, basic graph theory, etc.
Practice Problems-4: Elections and Election Methods
Mathematical modeling is one of the practice standards for the CCSS-M (Common Core State Standards in Mathematics). However, in many people's minds the reason for teaching modeling is further practice with mathematical techniques - solving linear equations, solving quadratic equations, etc. I belive in a broader concept of what modeling is about. In part, it is a way to encourage people to see mathematics as a subject that emphasizes various themes - fairness, optimization, information, etc. While this essay is not directly related to the content of this course I hope that it offers a perspective on how the theory of games and fairness situations might fit into curriculum at all levels.
Thematic Approaches to Mathematical Modeling
When one has geographic districts or countries which have very different populations but one needs to have a legistlature to represent the different "locales" it seems reasonable to use a system where each representative casts a different number of votes. It is tempting to have the weights proportional to population but it is easy to see that this can create representatives who are never members of minimal winning coalitions. Such players are traditionally called dummies. So it makes more sense to have weights so that population is proportional to some measure of power. One way of doing this is the use the Banhaf Power, as is done in NY State. The European Union has made extensive use of weighted voting schemes.
Weighted voting and power indices
Here are a few "practice" problems for a "final" summatory examination. The emphasis is on being able to do "typical" algorithmic problems that come up in zero-sum games, non-zero sum games, methods of deciding elections, power of players in weighted voting games, assigning an integer number of seats based on "population" (apportionment), the Gale/Shapley deffered acceptance algorithm, bankruptcy, etc.
Summatory Review of Game Theory and Equity Problems
The apportionment problem is a mathematical question which deals with assigning non-negative integer numbers of things (legislative representatives, computers, secretaries, etc.) to claimants based on some numerical parameter of the claimants (population of states, percent vote for a party in an election, number of students in the schools of a school district).The classical versions of this problem are apportioning the 435 seats of the US House of Representatives and the problem of assigning seats to a parliament based on the percentage of vote that each party got in an election. Here are some notes about this topic.
Apportionment I
Apportionment II
Apportionment III
The AMS has two Feature Column Articles about Apportionment (happily the more recent columns don't have this rather cumbersome interface) that survey the issues.
AMS Feature Column on Apportionment
Second AMS Feature Column on Apportionment
Here are some notes about apportionment, giving claimants a non-negative number of seats in a parliament of fixed size h. The problem arose naturally in two versions. In the US each "state" has to be given at least one seat, while in Europe, each party must be assigned a block of seats in a way that represents its strengh in the election but there is no guarantee that a party that got a small vote will get a seat.
Notes about some apportionment problem methods
Here are some additional notes about apportionment. A review of the Adams, Jefferson and Webster Methods considered as divisor methods is given and then it is described how to do the calculations for these methods usings the rank index approach to the computations. I call this the "table" method. This approach is computationally more straightforward.
Notes about some apportionment problem methods
Here are some practice problems involving the Webster, Adams, Jefferson, and Hamilton methods of apportionment. See if you can get a feel for why Adams rewards smaller states while Jefferson rewards larger states.
Practice Problems Involving Apportionment
Here are some notes about the many different approaches to solving bankruptcy problems. The basic idea is that one has claimants who are owed money from an estate of size E but the claims add to more than E. What amounts should be given to each claimant so that the amounts returned to the claimants sums to E and the amounts given are fair? Many different approaches to fairness come into play and can lead to very different allocations to the claimants. Axioms can be created which try to characterize which properties the different methods to resolve bankruptcy problems obey.

Some new materials added for Summer, 2012.
Teachers often hear the terms, exercises, problem solving, and mathematical modeling. While there is some similarity between these terms they connote rather different things. This essay tries to distinguish between the terms in an informal way, and some of the examples used come from the realm of fairness problems.
Exercises, Problem Solving, and Modeling
While carrying out this particular poll is probably of interest only to me and the students who took my game theory course in the summer of 2012, I think it is valuable for teachers to design polls of this kind to help them get insight into the relative appeal of different topics they treat in courses that they teach.
Poll on Course Topics in a Game Theory Course
The apportionment problem is a mathematical question which deals with assigning non-negative integer numbers of things (legislative representatives, computers, secretaries, etc.) to claimants based on some numerical parameter of the claimants (population of states, percent vote for a party in an election, number of students in the schools of a school district).The classical versions of this problem are apportioning the 435 seats of the US House of Representatives and the problem of assigning seats to a parliament based on the percentage of vote that each party got in an election. Here are some notes about this topic.
Apportionment I
Apportionment II
Apportionment III
The AMS has two Feature Column Articles about Apportionment (happily the more recent columns don't have this rather cumbersome interface) that survey the issues.

A voting game is a way specifying how action gets taken in a legislative body by indicating "winning coalitions" - coalitions that can get some action accomplished. One way of doing this is to have each player cast a number of votes called the weight of that player. There is a quota Q, and any collection of players whoses weights sum to Q or more are winning. However, one can have positive weight in such a voting game without haviing positive "power." This happens when a player is not a member of any "minimum winning coalition." A coalition that wins, but when any player is dropped from the coaliton no longer wins. Such a player is called a dummy. There are many power indices which try to measure the "power" of the players in a voting game either in terms of the coalitions the players are members of or the weights they cast. The best known of these are the Coleman Index, the Shapley-Shubik Index, and the Banzhaf Index.

Here is a cost allocation problem, typical of many, where towns or people come together to fund a project that will bring them all benefit but would be two expensive for one person (town) to do on its own. So the issue is developing a way to share the costs that is fair.
Cost Allocation: Fairness of Improving a Road
Here are a few "practice" problems about bankruptcy problems. The idea is that one has claims against an asset which is too small to pay off all of the claims. What is a fair way to distribute the asset? Just as with elections there are many reasonable systems which often differ in their distributions.
Bankruptcy Problem Methods - Practice
Here are a few "practice" problems about election methods. Methods that have either been used in the "real world" or are appealing because a reason that they might produce a "good" winner can be put forward are: pluarality, run-off, sequential run-off, Borda Count, Coombs, Bucklin, and Condorcet. Different methods can produce the same or different winners. There are a lot of topics in the traditional k-12 curriculum that can be taught and/or motivated with elections issues.
Election Methods Practice
Here are a few "practice" problems involving the Gale-Shapley, deferred acceptance algorithm, that finds a stable matching between the two sides of a two-sided market. There are suprisingly many appicatiions of this elegant algorithm. With cleverness one can significantly extend the domain of applicability of this algorithm. The "vanilla" version requires no indifference and that not getting "married" is not an option. Depending on whether the men propose or the women propose one gets two potentially different stable marraiges. However, in many cases there are many other stable marriages.
Gale-Shapley Algorithm - Practice
Gale-Shapley Algorithm - Practice 2
Gale-Shapley Algorithm - Practice 3
Here are some notes about two-sided markets. These problems are often couched in terms of pairing off equal numbers and boys and girls in "marriage" in some "stable" way. Applications include matching doctors to hospitals when the finish medical school, school choice, college admissions, etc. The major algorithm here is called the Gale-Shapley, deferred acceptance algorithm.
Two-Side Markets
There are lots of wonderful resources about game theory on the web. Two very appealing blogs are:
Alvin Roth's Market Design Blog
Roth also has wonderful materials on his web page. Lots of expository articles, especially about the Gale/Shapely deferred acceptance algorithm and two-sided markets.
Blog devoted to economics, computer science and game theory
Some of the materials treated on this blog are at the research frontier but this in part is why monitoring what is said is especially interesting. Since game theory is quick starting compared with many other parts of mathematics even if the technical stuff is not accessible you can get an idea of the kind of issues that drives research in game theory.
Here are more "practice" problems about games that deal with very basic ideas but they also hint at ways that one can use these ideas, say, in an algebra class, or when teaching about mathematical modeling. Being able to simplify games usings using dominant row/column and looking for saddle points is worth practicing so that you can understand the implications of these ideas.
More matrix game problems - two players
Here are a few "practice" problems about zero-sum games that deal with very basic ideas but they also hint at ways that one can use these ideas, say, in an algebra class, or when teaching about mathematical modeling.

Our Bureau
Mumbai, Nov. 23
On the concluding day of his four-day visit to India, the Chinese President Mr Hu Jintao scripted a `Panchsheel' to expand trade and economic co-operation between India and China.
Stepping up bilateral trade, strengthening co-operation in key areas, improving the investment climate, encouraging tie-ups for third country projects and establishing a China-India free trade area are the five steps suggested by Mr Hu.
Addressing a gathering of businessmen and industrialists under the joint auspices of three top Indian industry bodies FICCI, CII and Assocham in the commercial capital of the country, the Chinese leader suggested that Indian and Chinese companies should set up joint ventures in third countries to explore opportunities in the energy sector.
Pointing out that both countries have extensive common interests in international energy, he also said that the companies should be encouraged to go in for joint bidding for third country energy projects.
He said Indo-China trade is now growing at the rate of 32 per cent and the $20 billion target, set for 2008, is expected to be exceeded this year itself. A new target of $40 billion has been set for 2010. China is now India's second largest trading partner and India is China's largest trading partner in South Asia.
He said the strengths of India and China in information technology, energy resources, infrastructure, science and technology and agriculture are mutually complementary and offer great potential for co-operation.
The Chinese government will continue to encourage competitive Chinese companies to make investments and do business in India and Indian companies are welcome to explore business opportunities in China.
Mr Hu suggested that India and China should strengthen coordination in the World Trade Organisation and other multilateral organisations to jointly uphold the rights of the developing countries.
The Commerce Minister Mr Kamal Nath said bilateral investments between India and China are expected to grow $5 billion by 2010.

'Che' manuscripts added to UNESCO heritage program
More News from Associated Press
HAVANA— UNESCO is including the writings of Cuban Revolution leader Ernesto "Che" Guevara in its Memory of the World Register.
The documents include original manuscripts from "Che's" youthful "Motorcycle Diaries" days, to his diary from the mountains of Bolivia where he was executed by that nation's military in 1967.
They are now recognized as world heritage and will be protected and cared for with the help of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The Memory of the World Register comprises nearly 300 documents and collections from five continents. Guevara's works are among 54 new additions this year.
His widow, daughter and son were on hand at a ceremony in Havana on Friday to celebrate the inclusion of the documents in the register.

BSP tightens watch on property loans
Bank lending to affiliated property companies
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has tightened its watch on the loan exposures of conglomerate-owned banks to sister companies in the property sector on concerns that this could threaten the stability of the banking industry.
BSP Deputy Governor Nestor Espenilla Jr. said the regulator was mindful of risks associated with a robustly growing economy, including a sudden rise in demand for properties and the corresponding growth in bank lending.
"We are monitoring this matter closely," the central bank official told the Inquirer, saying the loan exposure of banks to sister companies owned by the same conglomerates was one of the things the BSP was looking at keenly the moment to ensure the country's banking sector would remain stable.
Exposure comes both in terms of loans directly extended to a real-estate company and loans granted to borrowers who will use the money to buy properties built by the same company.
Aside from putting a bank's stability at risk, another problem with a heavy loan exposure to property firms is the potential to cause asset price bubbles. The Asian crisis in the late 1990s was aggravated by a property bubble that led to huge losses for banks in the region.
But while the BSP recognized that the situation merited closer monitoring, Espenilla said concerns that the country's banking sector was starting to become overly exposed to property developers were unfounded.
He said that based on the latest assessment by the BSP, the loan exposure of banks to the real-estate sector remained within ceilings set by the regulator.
"We are satisfied that such exposures are presently within allowable regulatory limits and are broadly adequately managed," Espenilla said. "We see no reason for undue concern at this time."
BSP regulations require banks to keep their outstanding real-estate loans within 20 percent of their total loan portfolios. This is under study for potential tightening because the 20-percent ceiling covers only loans extended to commercial property developers. Loans extended to individual borrowers wanting to buy real properties currently are not covered.
Another BSP regulation sets limits on loans banks may extend to "related interests" such as firm owned by the same conglomerates owning the banks.
The rule states that outstanding loans and guarantees granted by a bank to a single director, officer, stockholder, or related interests (Dosri) must be limited to an amount equivalent to its unencumbered deposits and book value of its paid-in capital contribution to the bank.
In addition, except with the prior approval of the BSP's Monetary Board, combined outstanding loans and guarantees to all Dosri should not exceed 15 percent of the bank's total loan portfolio or 100 percent of the bank's networth, whichever is lower.

Column: No silver lining in cloud over Liverpool
LONDON (AP) — What next for Liverpool?
The cloud now raining on what had been its thrilling Premier League campaign has no obvious silver lining. Judging by the funereal look on Steven Gerrard's face and the sobs of Luis Suarez, Liverpool all but handed the EPL trophy to Manchester City when it feverishly blew a three-goal lead at Crystal Palace on Monday.
Perhaps the only thing worse than squandering a golden opportunity is knowing that it might not come around again anytime soon. With Manchester United in post-Alex Ferguson distress, new managers bedding in at City and Chelsea, and Arsenal lacking edge, the stars seemed aligned this season — exceptionally so? — for Liverpool to win its first championship of the Premier League era.
Those four heavyweights will be stronger next season.
United will have spent heavily on new players this summer and will have a new manager, expected to be attack-minded Louis van Gaal, a proven winner.
City's billionaire owners already have the finest collection of players in British football and the appetite to keep improving it. Even with European football powers at UEFA pressuring City to curb spending, its squad has depth of talent to compete on multiple fronts, in the Premier League and Europe.
Under Manuel Pellegrini, its cerebral manager with a degree in civil engineering, City is more studious; the soap operas of his predecessor, Roberto Mancini, have gone. City will be a formidable defending champion if, as Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers now expects, it wins the title this coming Sunday, the last day of a season that has seen more twists than a sidewinder snake on hot sand.
Jose Mourinho should have a squad more to his liking in the second season of his second stint at Chelsea. At Arsenal, after this first season of adaptation, greater things will be expected of star player Mesut Ozil.
Rodgers also has plans, with newspapers saying he could add half a dozen players. His defense most obviously needs shoring up, having bled too many goals — 49, with one match to play— for Liverpool to be champion. No winner since the league's founding in 1992 — Manchester United and City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Blackburn Rovers — let in that many. Liverpool flattered to deceive, scoring so many goals that the holes beneath its waterline didn't seem deadly until it sank against Chelsea, losing 2-0, and then rolled out the welcome mat in front of goal for Palace.
If he strikes again in the last fixture against Newcastle, Suarez will overtake Alan Shearer and Cristiano Ronaldo's shared record of 31 goals in a 38-game premier league season. With one more goal, Liverpool will also have scored 100 in a league season for only the second time in its long and illustrious history and the first time in 118 years. Another four goals would equal Chelsea's record of 103, set under Carlo Ancelotti in 2009-10. But all that seems purely anecdotal now after Liverpool's naivety in letting Palace claw back three in 10 minutes, the 3-3 draw tossing away victory needed to keep pressure on City.

It's not the Super Bowl, but Chase finale still a pretty good draw
It's not the Super Bowl, but the Chase finale is still a pretty good draw at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Updated: November 14, 2007, 5:21 PM ETBy Marty Smith | ESPN.com
MIAMI -- Curtis Gray sounds happy. By creating a weeklong Super Bowl atmosphere around the NASCAR season finale, the Homestead-Miami Speedway president has established a franchise at his 1.5-mile venue. A marathon campaign culminates here in balmy South Florida, and the entire nation knows it. "We had trouble selling out at one time," Gray said Monday. "There were no major events leading up to the finale. But because of the reconfigured points system, the Chase ...

Belief can be a powerful force.
No one knows that better than the people who are sure they've seen Bigfoot in Colorado.
"It was not a human gait. It was not a human," says Kate Murphy of her May 2012 Bigfoot sighting in the woods.
Murphy says she feels "blessed" she had the encounter. "I mean, It turned my life upside down. I'm not just looking at the trees now, I'm kind of looking behind the trees"

Hibernate Search is a full-text search engine for your persistent domain model.
The Hibernate Search team is really proud to announce version 4.1. It has been a long road, but the final result includes many improvements and new features. As usual, a big thanks to our community and our contributors. What's in there for you?
Conditional indexing
We have added interceptors that let you control whether or not a given entity instance is indexed based on its state. This is very useful to implement things like:
- soft deletes
- indexing an entity only if in a given state, for example only index PUBLISHED blogs
Not only does it make your index smaller and thus faster but Hibernate Search is not triggered unless indexing is happening. Read more.
Faster, lighter indexing
We have improved indexing of associations to embed only required information (we were a bit generous before).
In the same vein, you can now define which specific path of an association you want indexed (for further querying). Instead of indexing all of the associated object(s), Hibernate Search will only index the specific path(s). This makes for much faster indexing and smaller indexes. Read more.
We have improved the JGroups backend to use a single channel (roughly a single connection between nodes). This makes the bootstrap faster but more importantly simplifies greatly the configuration. Simpler is better as far as we are concerned :) Read more.
Hibernate Search is compatible with Hibernate ORM 4.1 and has been tested on JBoss AS 7.1. We have also upgraded the following main libraries: Lucene to 3.5, JGroups to 3 and Infinispan to 5.1.
We have improved support for modular environments - thanks for the constant nagging of Ales. We still have some work in this area so stay tuned.
Get the release
Download the release from Sourceforge or via Maven artifacts. And go read the documentation.
If you are migrating from an earlier version, make sure to check our migration guide.

Not currently a great way to swap out Hibernate 4.0.1 which is in AS 7.1.1 Final, so do you know which AS releases will include ORM 4.1 and thus be compatible with Search 4.1?
I'm already noticing that because of the includePaths option, I'm eliminating a lot of ClassBridges in favour of using includePaths.
The version of JBoss AS expected to include Hibernate ORM 4.1 is slated to be 7.2 (see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4345). It was originally slated to be 7.1.2, but they decided to not do a 7.1.2.
So you either (1) have to wait for 7.2, (2) swap Hibernate ORM and Search in JBoss yourself, (3) wait for https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4345 to get pushed and create a hybrid branch for yourself. Those are the options I see.
Not currently a great way to swap out Hibernate 4.0.1 which is in AS 7.1.1 Final, so do you know which AS releases will include ORM 4.1 and thus be compatible with Search 4.1?
By using ORM 4.1 for the build it should work with both ORM 4.0 and 4.1: indeed we did it primarily to make sure it will work on AS 7.2 and EAP 6 but we tested it on 7.1.1 as well. If you find any problem, let me know!
Do these instructions help? https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/JPA+Reference+Guide#JPAReferenceGuide-ReplacingthecurrentHibernate4.0.xjarswithanewerversion
Just as an update I switched to Search 4.1.0 with the ORM in AS 7.1.1 Final and all is working well.
Reindex time for 17K items went from 45 seconds to 11 seconds.
i notice many of the required jars packaged up are quite old now and some of them are beta. it woudl be good to clean this up and at lease move away from beta jars. in particular i refer to snappy and apis
I use hibernate4.1 find "No suitable driver found for jdbc" err,but use hibernate3 is ok,why?

GAINESVILLE, Va. (WUSA9) -- 76 year-old Ann Montefusco started having eye problems 23 years ago, and it's been a steady decline ever since.
Montefusco says, "It's like going into a tunnel. It's very dark. If you are going to a grocery store it's like a fog when you are going forward, and you don't see what you are buying, so lots of luck."
A description of the most common cause of blindness, macular degeneration.
So as we usually look inside a telescope, Ann will have one looking outside of her eye!Her doctorrecommended a new procedure that involves placing a working telescope directly inside her right eye.
The telescope isprovided by Centrasight.A bionic eye so to speak, this tiny device was approved just last year by the FDA.
Dr. Jay Lustbader ofMedstar Georgetown University Hospital and his team lifted the retina and carefully placed the telescope inside. This will magnify whatever Ann wants to see, and that image will reflect to the back of the eye.
Dr. Lustbader says, "It's designed for patients who are essentially blind from end-stage macular degeneration of the retina. "The idea of the telescope is to magnify the view so much that the blind spot becomes much smaller and they can make out the majority of someone's face, the majority of the TV screen, that type of thing."
The surgery is just the beginning. For the next few months, Ann has to train her eye muscles to use the bionic eye. She is learning how to focus on objects. She has these letters set up around the house to practice her new vision.
Montefusco says, "It's not an overnight thing, it's gonna be difficult which I know, but it's something that I wanted to do."
Not every patient with macular degeneration is a candidate for this procedure, they have to be put through a simulation test to see if their eye can adapt.
Patients are screened ahead of time to see if they will be able to actually adapt to the telescope. The telescope is only place in one eye, the other is used for peripheral vision. The procedure is available for patients over 75, and it is covered by Medicare.
