How to Fly Like a Bat
Everyone knows that bats aren't birds, but it turns out that they don't even fly the same way.
By Emily Sohn, 00:00 AM May 4, 2007
It takes weeks, treats, and a lot of patience to train a bat to fly inside a wind tunnel. Bats already know how to fly, of course. The problem is to get them to do it inside a small tunnel with the wind rushing at them.
So scientists at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, use rewards to coax the animals. If the bats land on the floor or walls of the wind tunnel and refuse to fly, the scientists move them to an enclosure without food. But "if they fly for a minute without crashing,...

What did you think of this review?
"[An] extraordinary accomplishment. This is a beautifully written, moving account of one of the most bittersweet chapters in modern history… The details build a stunning and precise account of major movements—from Normandy to Paris, from the South of France to Grenoble—and close-up portraits of famous figures that make them living, breathing beings."—Smithsonian Magazine
"Superb… Atkinson brings his Liberation Trilogy to a resounding close… An outstanding work of popular history, in the spirit of William Manchester and Bruce Catton."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Superb… The book is distinguished by its astonishing range of coverage… [Atkinson's] lively, occasionally lyric prose brings the vast theater of battle, from the beaches of Normandy deep into Germany, brilliantly alive. It is hard to imagine a better history of the western front's final phase."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"With a mastery of sources that support nearly every sentence, Atkinson achieves a military history with few peers as an overview of the 1944-45 campaigns in Western Europe."—Booklist
"The book stands out from others on World War II because it successfully explores the fallibility of participants at all levels…This is not a detailed account of any one particular battle but a sweeping epic, yet it is packed with fascinating details. Highly recommended to all who read World War II history."—Library Journal

Critical Essay by Scot Haller
As usual novelist John Irving is telling a story [in The Hotel New Hampshire]. As usual, it's an episode marked with impending violence, unending hopelessness, offbeat humor, and parental heartache….
John Irving makes his living telling tales that turn on … bizarre, contradictory situations. Fashioning wildly inventive, delightfully intricate narratives out of his sense of humor, sense of dread and sense of duty, Irving blends the madcap, the macabre, and the mundane into sprawling, spiraling comedies of life….
To any suggestion that a popular novel can't possibly be a good one, Irving has some ready answers. "I think, to some degree, entertainment is the responsibility of literature," he says. "I really am looking upon the novel as an art form that was at its best when it was offered as a popular form. By which I probably mean...

Wednesday, February 09, 2011
CAE reports third quarter fiscal year 2011 financial results08:35 EST Wednesday, February 09, 2011MONTREAL, CANADA--(Marketwire - Feb. 9, 2011) - (NYSE:CAE)(TSX:CAE) – CAE today reported financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2010. Net earnings were C$40.7 million (C$0.16 per share), compared to C$37.7 million (C$0.15 per share) in the third quarter of last year. Excluding a restructuring charge last year, earnings were $40.3 million (C$0.16 per share). Revenue was C$411.3 million, 7% higher compared to C$382.9 million in the third quarter last year. All financial information is in Canadian dollars."The recovery underway in commercial aerospace led to higher activity in our civil segments during the third quarter, especially in training and services where we signed a number of long term agreements with airlines," said Marc Parent, CAE's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In military, we announced a range of strategic program wins, including the $250 million KC-135 training contract for the U.S. Air Force – CAE's first win as a prime contractor on a major U.S. military Aircrew Training Systems Contract."Earnings before interest and taxes(1) (EBIT) were $64.8 million, or 15.8% of revenue. Summary of consolidated results(amounts in millions, except for operating margins)Q3-2011Q3-2010YTD-2011YTD-2010Revenue$411.3382.91,164.61,130.4Total segment operating income$64.864.6188.9199.2Restructuring charge$–(3.9)–(32.2)Earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT)$64.860.7188.9167.0As a % of revenue%15.815.916.214.8Net earnings$40.737.7120.1104.0Orders$514.4315.81,378.3946.8Backlog$3,215.32,917.13,215.32,917.1Military segments Revenue for CAE's combined Military segments increased 6% in the third quarter to $220.7 million compared to $207.9 million last year. Training and services revenue was stable at $67.0 million while simulation products revenue grew 9% to $153.7 million. Year to date, combined Military revenue increased 3% from $590.9 million to $608.7 million. Before the negative impact of foreign currency translation over the first nine months, our revenue would have been up approximately 10%.In addition to the foreign exchange impact, the prolonged U.S. government budget approval process has caused some delays in the government's funding of programs for which we have already been selected. As such, some of the revenue expected in the second half of this fiscal year will now only likely be realized next year. We expect a strong fourth quarter and to finish fiscal 2011 with high single-digit percentage revenue growth for the year. Based on our backlog and the programs we project winning near term, we still expect double-digit percentage growth in fiscal 2012. Combined Military operating income was $38.8 million and operating margin was 17.6% compared to $35.8 million and 17.2%, respectively, in the third quarter last year. We announced a number of orders involving aircraft platforms we consider strategic to CAE, including the award to CAE USA of the prime contractor role on a major Aircrew Training Systems Contract to provide KC-135 training for the U.S. Air Force. This 10-year, $250 million award represents an important milestone for CAE as we pursue services outsourcing opportunities around the globe. $20 million of this contract is included in CAE's $3.2 billion backlog. Combined Military orders in the quarter totaled $203.8 million for a book-to-sales ratio of 0.92x. The ratio was 1.35x for the last 12 months.Simulation Products/Military (SP/M)(amounts in millions, except for operating margins)Q3-2011Q2-2011Q1-2011Q4-2010Q3-2010Revenue$153.7137.2115.8149.3140.4Segment operating income$28.324.718.025.823.4Operating margins%18.418.015.517.316.7Backlog$881.0920.3921.2868.0815.3Training & Services /Military (TS/M)(amounts in millions, except for operating margins)Q3-2011Q2-2011Q1-2011Q4-2010Q3-2010Revenue$67.068.666.468.567.5Segment operating income$10.511.522.214.171.124Operating margins%15.716.820.813.418.4Backlog$1,234.81,270.01,226.41,193.71,101.8Civil segments Revenue for our combined Civil segments increased 9% in the third quarter to $190.6 million compared to $175.0 million last year. This was the net result of a 21% increase in training and services revenue to $124.3 million, and a 9% decrease in simulation products revenue to $66.3 million, where we had a particularly strong comparable quarter last year. Excluding the impact of our New Core Markets initiatives of Healthcare, Mining and Energy, which are reported as part of the training and services segment, our operating margin in training was 17.7%. In simulation products, our operating margin was stable at 11.0% and our combined Civil segment operating margin was 15.2%. Year to date, combined Civil revenue increased 3% from $539.5 million to $555.9 million. Before the negative impact of foreign currency translation over the first nine months, our revenue would have been up approximately 9%.Market activity continued to be more robust with the renewal and addition of a range of training contracts expected to generate $222.9 million in future revenue. We strengthened our position in South America with new long-term training agreements with TAM Airlines and LAN Airlines. In simulation products, we maintained our lead with eight full-flight simulator (FFS) orders for customers in the Middle East, China and Australia for a total of 22 announced year-to-date. We continue to expect our total FFS unit orders for the year to be in the mid-twenties, with a number of orders having delivery dates in later years, which will contribute to our longer-term performance.We received $310.6 million in combined civil segment orders representing a book-to-sales ratio of 1.63x. The ratio was 1.21x for the last 12 months.Training & Services/Civil (TS/C)(amounts in millions, except for operating margins RSEUs and FFSs deployed)Q3-2011Q2-2011Q1-2011Q4-2010Q3-2010Revenue$124.3118.0117.6113.6102.4Segment operating income$18.718.922.221.017.4Operating margins%15.016.018.918.517.0Backlog$774.2695.3706.8728.7755.9RSEUs132131132131129FFSs deployed152151150148146Simulation Products/Civil (SP/C)(amounts in millions, except for operating margins)Q3-2011Q2-2011Q1-2011Q4-2010Q3-2010Revenue$66.362.866.964.572.6Segment operating income$18.104.22.168.911.4Operating margins%11.010.812.313.815.7Backlog$325.3305.3251.7252.4244.1New Core Markets We made additional progress in developing our CAE Mining initiative with the acquisition on January 1, 2011 of Century Systems Technologies, a supplier of solutions that complement our offering.In CAE Healthcare, we sold more of our bedside ultrasound solutions as well as our surgical simulators to customers around the world. After the end of the quarter we launched our CAE Caesar™ trauma patient simulator, which is a high-fidelity patient simulator for training civil and military practitioners responsible for the care of trauma patients in the field.Additional financial highlights The effect of translating the results of our self-sustaining subsidiaries into Canadian dollars negatively impacted this quarter's revenue by $16.8 million and net earnings by $2.1 million, when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. For the first nine months of fiscal 2011 the negative translation impact on revenue was $70.1 million and $10.3 million on net earnings.Income taxes were $15.7 million representing an effective tax rate of 28%, which results from our mix of income from various jurisdictions. Year to date, our effective tax rate is also 28%.Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $56.0 million and free cash flow(2) was $5.0 million this quarter. We invested $23.8 million in non-cash working capital, mainly in support of a number of contracts involving new aircraft types. Net debt(3) was $285.6 million as at December 31, 2010, up $7.1 million from last quarter.CAE will pay a dividend of $0.04 per share on March 31, 2011 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2011.Additional information You will find a more detailed discussion of our results by segment in the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) as well as in our consolidated financial statements which are posted on our website at www.cae.com/Q3FY11.CAE's audited annual financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the year ended March 31, 2010 have been filed with the Canadian securities commissions and are available on our website (www.cae.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.Notes(1) Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is a non-GAAP measure that shows us how we have performed before the effects of certain financing decisions and tax structures. We track EBIT because we believe it makes it easier to compare our performance with previous periods, and with companies and industries that do not have the same capital structure or tax laws. (2) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that shows us how much cash we have available to build the business, repay debt and meet ongoing financial obligations. We use it as an indicator of our financial strength and liquidity. We calculate it by taking the net cash generated by our continuing operating activities, subtracting maintenance capital expenditures, other assets not related to growth and dividends paid and adding proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment. (3) Net debt is a non-GAAP measure we use to monitor how much debt we have after taking into account liquid assets such as cash and cash equivalents. We use it as an indicator of our overall financial position, and calculate it by taking our total long-term debt, including the current portion, and subtracting cash and cash equivalents.Consolidated

X-word xpert
Bernice Gordon has been puzzling readers for more than a half century
With determination, she started submitting to the legendary Margaret Farrar, first puzzle editor at the Times.
"I started at the top. I wouldn't settle for less," Gordon said.
In 1952, she cracked the Times with a weekday puzzle. She was paid $5 or $10 for it.
It was the first of 150 or more she would create for the Times, according to current puzzle editor Will Shortz. Three years later, she placed her first Sunday stumper, one of nine, Shortz said.
"I'm a very determined creature. If I make up my mind to do something, I do it," said Gordon, who makes $35 to $350 a puzzle these days.
In the mid-1960s, Gordon made puzzle history by introducing answers such as COWBOYS&INDIANS, with symbols or icons in them.
When she sent a puzzle with 10 ampersands to the Times, Farrar rejected it. Six months later, Farrar changed her mind.
"America was wild!" said Gordon. "They said it was cheating." The newspaper sent her a batch of letters, many angry and insulting.
No matter. She went further, expecting solvers would deduce the need for a tiny drawing in the midst of a phrase or word — so JIMMY*TER or BI*BONATE required a "car."
She also dared to create a quartet of naughty crosswords at the request of Xaviera "The Happy Hooker" Hollander, whom her lawyer son Benjamin met in Spain.
When Gordon told her that she knew only one dirty word, Hollander supplied a list — and agreed to write the clues.
Sometimes Gordon collaborates with her "special, special boyfriend," Norman Wizer of Malvern, Pa., a veteran constructor who said he's "just a baby" at age 81. They recently won the award for best puzzle in the next "Mega Crossword Puzzle Book" from Simon & Schuster, he said.
"She is a wonderful, wonderful woman. The things that she does for her age are amazing," said the former accountant, who met Gordon at a New York puzzlers luncheon.
If she is still puzzling when she's 100, Gordon will have seen the centennial of the modern crossword. The first appeared in December 1913 — a month before Gordon's birth — as the "Word-Cross" in the New York World.
Until then, she plans to continue setting records. Shortz has promised to publish another puzzle from her after she turns 96 in January.
"I have the letter!" she said.

Here's a look at Thursday night's matchup between Putnam City North and U.S. Grant at Star Spencer's Twidwell Stadium:
Last Week: PC North won its second straight, upsetting Midwest City 21-20. US Grant remained winless losing to Norman North 54-0.
Preview: After a 0-4 start, head coach Bob Wilson's Panthers have rallied, winning two straight and keeping their playoff hopes alive. This week they head to Star Spencer to take on the US Grant Generals. The Panthers have been on a roll and it should continue tonight. US Grant has been known to struggle and have done so this year again. The defense is giving up 50 points per game and their offense has only scored 16 points in their three district games. The Panthers have finally found their groove and will look to make it three in a row tonight. The Panthers just have to execute their offense and limit turnovers and this one should be a win.
The Pick: This is about as easy as it gets. The Panthers get their first blowout win of the year, 49-7.
NOTE: Evan O'Brien is a student blogger from Putnam City North High School, working in conjunction with the NewsOK Varsity staff. We're currently looking for student bloggers from other high schools around the Oklahoma City metro area. If you'd like information about becoming a student blogger for your school, please contact high school sports writer Scott Wright at email@example.com.

Hello I'm currently developing a wordpress site for a company i'm working for. The site is basically going to be used for internal purposes and to be used as a manual for new workers. They want something with a interface on the front page to get from 1 page to the next so it flows. I've not came across any theme that can seem to do this that suits there needs.
To describe it better, imagine the user is goes onto the website, and begins the training, they link the first link and read that first article, they can then go to to the next section. but if they want they can come out into a hub like layout where they can see the following steps.
I've no idea if this exists but if anyone can give any suggestions I would be most grateful.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Hi, According to me a very simple way of creating this is by creating a custom loop which will display only 1 post per page. That way the pagination will be to the next page or chapter. And you can link to the archive, which will act as the hub.
Makes sense?

|Connecticut, Habano, Maduro
|Dominican Republic
Gurkha European Selection is a medium-bodied blend that's offered in a Connecticut, Maduro, and Habano 2000 wrapper. On the inside, it features small-batch Honduran long-fillers that impart a smooth, eventful taste. Expect consistency from first light to nub, due in part to the ultra-thick wrapper and binder combo. Flavorful, well-constructed, and tasty, this is one cigar you'll want to add to your collection, pronto.
"If you have smoked a blend lab JH-6748 then this one will is its brand name cousin at a cheaper price point...similar flavors and palate feel...a great smooth medium creamy smoke"
"Again Gurkha delivers an absolute excellent smoke for a low low price. This is easliy worth $12-$15 a stick, but at $3 its not fair for CI or Gurkha. Loaded with flavors, burns, draws, and looks great."
"Habano 2000 is delish! Be prepared to spend an hour to an hour and a half. Present is the balance, flavor and consistency others have mentioned, absent is the sour aftertaste I've had issues with in lesser Dominican blends. My first Gurkha, but won't be my last. Builds a little toward the end, but stayed consistent and no more than medium full at strongest and on the light side of medium for the first third or so, probably because it's a Churchill and the smoke is coming from a mile away. Highly recommended."
"Gurkha is my go to, so this may be somewhat tainted... but this one is top notch! Smooth and flavorful from start to finish and one of the best from their lineup. If you haven't taken this one for a test drive, pick them up! I promise you won't be disappointed."
"A really good mild cigar. A daily smoker."
"Draw was not great, flavors seem OK. Only had one OTT so far. I'll let them rest and try again in the spring."
"I've had multiple ones of each flavor and I haven't been that impressed. Habano has way more bite than it should have, the maduro was sort of blah, and the Connecticut was just ok. If you're on a budget and want a decent Churchill I guess they aren't too bad, but if you can spend a few extra bucks on a better cigar I would."
"This is a primo cigar, smooth all the way to the end. great when you just want to unwind and relax!"

In addition to looking ridiculously good for his upcoming film The Green Hornet, apparently Seth Rogen will not sign a prenup with fiancé Lauren Miller. Cute and financially irresponsible: just how we like our men. "I'm not. My business manager told me to get one too," Rogen told a flabbergasted Howard Stern on the shock jock's Sirius radio show. "Marriage can be expensive and if I lose millions then it'll be the best millions I've spent." Could. This. Guy. Be. Any. Cuter? Answer: no.
Seth wouldn't admit how much he makes per film, but reveal to Stern that he could retire if he wanted to. Rogen explained that he and Miller started planning the wedding after Rogen's NSFW proposal in September "but I don't want to say the date because of the paparazzi." If we were Lauren we wouldn't want a prenup either, but that's because you'd have to have to pry our husband Seth Rogen from our cold dead hands.

Treatment options for pancreatic cancer can be somewhat limited, especially if you have a more advanced stage of the disease. However, experimental treatments are often available through clinical trials for people who are either not responding to or not a candidate for currently available treatments.
Pancreatic Cancer: What Are Clinical Trials?
A clinical trial is research that involves patients in the testing of potential new medications, procedures, and other medical advancements that look promising as future treatments.
"A typical clinical trial will compare the current standard of care to what experts think might be better than that current standard of care," explains Otis W. Brawley, MD, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society.
Clinical trials are labeled as Phase 1, 2, 3 or 4, and it is important to understand the differences.
- In Phase 1 trials, a new treatment with potential for success is tested on a small group of people, primarily to get an idea of which dosage to use, and to look at the safety of the treatment.
- In Phase 2 trials, the treatment is given to a somewhat larger group of people to confirm the safety of the selected dose, as well as to begin to look at how effective the treatment is.
- In Phase 3 trials, the treatment is given to many people, and the effectiveness of the treatment (compared to the older, standard treatment) is measured.
- Phase 4 trials are done after a treatment has already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to look at side effects, risks, and benefits of the treatment over more time.
Clinical Trials: Benefits
Before deciding to join a pancreatic cancer clinical trial, it's important to weigh the risks and benefits. Some of the benefits of joining a clinical trial are:
- Better care. Patients in clinical trials receive high-quality medical care at some of the best medical centers in the country.
- New treatments. Clinical trials are testing the newest and potentially best pancreatic cancer treatments, before the public has access to them.
- Helping other pancreatic cancer patients. By participating in a clinical trial, you can help make better treatments available for all people living with pancreatic cancer.
- Helping yourself. By joining a clinical trial, you are taking control of your pancreatic cancer treatment and doing everything you can to beat the disease.
"Someone who goes into a clinical trial is getting at least the standard of care, and they're getting it in a way that's getting policed. If a person is not in a clinical trial, there's no one looking over the doctor's shoulder. Clinical trials do offer, I think, a better quality of care," says Dr. Brawley.
Of course, the best benefit is the potential of finding a successful treatment for your pancreatic cancer, as did patients who participated in the trials for erlotinib (Tarceva), a drug now being used to treat the disease, notes Brawley.
Clinical Trials: Risks
"There is a risk in any clinical trial," warns Brawley. Some of the risks in joining a clinical trial are:
- Side effects. Some of the medications and procedures being tested may cause side effects that are not understood; they can be painful, uncomfortable, and potentially even life-threatening.
- It might not work. These treatments are still in the research and testing phase, and it is not known if they will be able to cure pancreatic cancer. "And not only could the drug not work, the drug could be harmful," says Brawley.
- Cost. You may have to pay for some of your treatments or other costs associated with the clinical trial.
- Time. Participating in a clinical trial may take a lot of time, including traveling to and spending time at the medical facility.
Finding a Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trial
If you would like to be considered for a clinical trial, start by asking your doctor about clinical trials for which you may be eligible. Every clinical trial has certain criteria that patients need to meet.
The National Cancer Institute offers a searchable database of all cancer-related clinical trials. You can access the database and search for pancreatic cancer clinical trials.
Joining a clinical trial is not without risk, but it does have potential benefits. As you consider the pros and cons, consult with your doctors, do your own research, and talk to your family. It's your health and your treatment, so consider all of your options carefully to make the right decision for you.

AUSTIN -- A 62-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly strangling a woman who asked him for a sandwich, police say.
According to a police arrest warrant, StephenFinley is charged with assault by strangulation/suffocation in connection to a Aug. 3 attack at the Crown Plaza Hotel, 6121 North I-35.
Police said the assault all started when the woman allegedly asked Finley to get her a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.
The sandwich order allegedly upset Finley. The woman told police he called her a profane name before he began beating and strangling her.
Court papers call Finley a transient. His bond was set at$20,000.

Although organizers did not keep a count on how many were served the morning of Brother Joe's Christmas for Kids Country Ham Breakfast, Janice Humble of Agape said it was a blessed event.
"This was a good year," said Mrs. Humble of the breakfast. "Definitely one of our better years."
Over 6,000 eggs were served, 6,000 biscuits, and 40 hams. There were 1,500 carryout orders delivered by volunteers to businesses and industries.
The breakfast, which is the main annual fundraiser for Brother Joe's Christmas for Kids, was held Thursday, Nov. 21 between 5:30-11 a.m. Mrs. Humble said most of the traffic for the breakfast came between 7-9 a.m., but people came throughout the morning.
Some of those helping with the breakfast included soldiers of the 7th Battalion 101st Airborne Division from Fort Campbell. These brave men and women who fight for our freedom, come every year to help cook and serve at the breakfast. Also lending a helpful hand were the Logan County High School JROTC, members of the BETA club from the Russellville School System, employees from the City of Russellville, and many, many members of the community.
Dominoes and Subway donated food to feed the soldiers who came in as early as Wednesday to prepare for the meal.
A silent auction was held the morning of the breakfast and was a great success, said Mrs. Humble. Most of the items auctioned off were donated to the Agape Center over the last year. Approximately $600 was generated from auction.
"The volunteers were all so great," said Mrs. Humble. "I've said this for years, the thing that impresses me most about the breakfast is the community. No one does this for recognition. Everyone just comes together to help others. It's truly a Jesus outreach. We are all just working together as a community to help."
According to Agape's Mike Humble the breakfast raised over $20,000, before expenses.
"Brother Joe's Christmas for Kids brings all denominations and political sides together for one purpose, to help others," said Mr. Humble. "People forget about their religious and political affiliations, and to come together to serve those in need in the community. It's a wonderful blessing."

Should voting be mandatory? @BarackObama suggests it might be time to make it a requirement: http://t.co/iQIkJhPSB6 pic.twitter.com/lAzQz8jql2

Chrysalis awoke in the Everfree forest, bruised and scratched from her recent failure of capturing Canterlot. She looked around, for any signs of her children. Nothing moved, it was quiet, too quiet.. She silently planned her new assault on the palace. How she needed to breed a bigger and stronger army for next time. Chrysalis the Queen of the Changelings rose to her hooves, slightly leaning forward with a stab of pain. She was hurt.. badly.. She weakly headed North, in the direction of ponyville, her inborn instincts picking up great amounts of love.Chrysalis barely made it out onto the road, falling over from the pain and slipping into unconsiousness. When she was almost out, she heard a female voice, so calming and lovely. After that it all went dark.. It seemed like forever she was stuck in a nightmare, this nightmare was more of a dream, but Chrysalis had bad feelings for what would happen, this nightmare was about a tall being, not of any kind of animal shes ever seen, he was made of many different animal parts; one arm was an eagle claw, the other was a lions paw, he had a set of odd shaped eyes, one smaller, the other bigger, and one distinctive fang, that gave him a funny, yet cute look. This was all she could see before he faded away, remembering an odd word he said.. Love.. She awoke(Thats all for now) Youtu.be

David Spence, "State: Judge is Wrong to Say It Must Protect Atmosphere" (Texas Tribune)
In an article about a move by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to appeal a state court decision finding that the agency has jurisdiction over the atmosphere under the public trust doctrine, the Texas Tribune quotes UT Law professor David Spence:
"David Spence, a professor of business and law at the University of Texas at Austin, said the scope of public trust is more symbolic than practical.
"'In a sense it's a kind of low-stakes argument,' Spence said. 'The public trust doctrine in the U.S. is a fairly weak thing.'
"Each state applies the principle differently, and few have used it with much force. The doctrine has generally been successful only at protecting open beaches for public use, Spence said.
"Spence said the appeals court could vacate [the district court statements about the doctrine] because her entire opinion is up for review. But the court may also say, 'Look, this is dicta. Everybody calm down,' Spence said."

|Inflation and seigniorage studies in Africa
|Mueller, Jason
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This paper explores the link between inflation and seigniorage, which is the revenue governments get from printing money. My research uses data from twenty-nine African countries in the time period 1981 to 2005 to find the inflation and seigniorage connection in long-term, short-term, and country-by-country analysis. The inflation-seigniorage link should be in the form of a Laffer curve and my results confirm this hypothesis. The inflation-seigniorage link is a significant problem in monetary economics as it relates to maximizing government revenues from the printing of money and the possibility of hyperinflation from the excessive pursuit of seigniorage. My research implies that seigniorage comes from the inflation tax alone (as the form of the Laffer curve without an intercept is a great deal more significant than the version with an intercept) and that countries rarely attempt to maximize seigniorage, as demonstrated by the rarity of inflation figures past the peak of the Laffer curve.

Oh yeah... the mighty big bore 2-stroke yamahas.
I completed my '83 IT490 in the early fall. My bike was also initially hard to start. I had a couple of problems, first problem was a clogged pilot jet. The other problem was a leaking base gasket.
These bikes are noisy and I was unable to hear the base gasket leak while the bike was running. I noticed it when I was running my fingers around the base gasket area. With the bike running, I could feel leaking around the transfer port area on the left side. This is a fairly common problem. Consider using a factory Yamaha base gasket as it has a sealent round it that the aftermarket gaskets do not have. I checked the base of my cylinder for flatness and it was fine.
Once I fixed these problems I then spent some time jetting it. They come rich from the factory so blubber in the low to mid range area. The fix for me was to change the slide, the jet needle and the needle jet. Do not try and solve this by going too low on the main jet or you will ping. The main jet is ineffective in tuning the low end and mid range.
The stock slide is a 2.0. I replaced this with a yz slide which is a 3.0. The trick is then to file the slide to a 3.5 (no longer available). The slide modification can be found on the yahoo yz490 group. The needle I used is fatter towards the point, this makes it leaner on the bottom 1/3rd throttle. I tried pilot jets of 35, 37.5 and 40. It starts well with the 37.5 and 40. I have the 40 in it now. I think the yz465 came with pj=50.
I will post the jetting that worked for me tonight as I do not have that information now.
These are nice bikes once fully sorted. You get the jetting right and this bike will haul the mail.
I raced it in a hare scrambles (after 30 years away). I was kind of worried as it was a dead engine start. It fired 1st kick. Went from 5th or 6th at the start to 2nd within the 1st lap. And I started with a flat front tire!
There was a nice section coming out of the woods where you could really wack the throttle. Whoa momma!
But unfortunately I am an old man now and my conditioning is just not up to snuff (yet?). I wore myself out and was unable to finish! Figured I better stop before I hurt myself, didnt want to give my wife a reason to shut me down!
So yeah, keep working on it, these bikes can really kick some a$$
. Or at least it kicked my a$$!
Here is a link to some photos of mine as I worked to get it in shape. Have fun but dont hurt yourself!

Sunny Leone has been signed on as the face of energy drink XXX owned by actor-entrepreneur Sachiin Joshi. The name of the product makes one wonder if casting an actress of X-rated films was a convinient pun or just a co-incidence. Sachiin insists it's the latter.
Sunny's romance with Bollywood continues. After signing Ragini MMS 2, and then doing an item song (Laila in Shootout At Wadala); the adult film star has signed her first endorsement now. Surprisingly, she has been paid a figure that is close to what B-Town's A-list actresses draw for an ad.
According to an insider, Sunny got a whopping Rs 1.5 crore to be a part of the campaign.
Sachiin, however, refuses to divulge the exact remuneration involved, "Our target is the youth especially in the age group of 18 to 25. When our marketing team carried out a research, we learnt that Sunny is one of the most popular faces especially with the male audience. Among the girls, she was the most-talked about and so we zeroed in on her."
The actor who was most recently seen in Mumbai Mirror adds that her porn star status was not the criteria to cast her and neither do they intend to cash in on her XXX factor.
"That is just a coincidence. For us, the three Xs stand for Experience Extreme Excitement and that's what Sunny represents. Her porn star status has nothing to do with casting her. Sunny is an actress like anyone else.
" Sachiin adds, "We are in the process of shortlisting two more Bollywood names, who will feature alongside Sunny in the campaign." It may be recalled that this particular brand has earlier been associated with Shah Rukh Khan, as they were one of the sponsors of his IPL cricket team.

The Frequency Spectra of Several Languages as a Criterion for the Frequency Response of Language Laboratories
The speech of eleven speakers of six languages was measured for peak energy in one-third octave bands, as compared to a reference level established by a vu meter. Levels as high as 0 dB at 10 kc, and -18 dB at 15 kc, were found. A tape speed of at least 7.5 ips is necessary to record all of the speakers without bandwidth restrictions, or level reduction.

Despite the variety of his achievements, Clark thinks of himself mainly as the creator of Hyperion, which happens to be a sailboat - not just an ordinary yacht, but the world's largest single-mast vessel, a machine more complex than a 747. Clark claims he will be able to sail it via computer from his desk in San Francisco, and the new code may contain the seeds of his next billion-dollar coup.
On the wings of Lewis' celebrated storytelling, the listener takes the ride of a lifetime through this strange landscape of geeks and billionaires. We get the inside story of the battle between Netscape and Microsoft; we sit in the room as Clark tries to persuade the investment bankers that Healtheon IS the new Microsoft; we get queasy as Clark pits his boat against the rage of the North Atlantic in winter. And in every brilliant anecdote and character sketch, Lewis is drawing us a map of markets and free enterprise in the 21st century.

"A fun book about Jim Clark"
This book gently pokes fun at a man who one of the most widely acclaimed entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley. Jim Clark is not the richest man in Silicon Valley, or the richest tech entrepreneur, but he is widely regarded as the most entrepreneurial of the super-rich in Silicon Valley.
The book presents him as a likable, slightly tormented, mild misfit. Of course he's a man of nuclear will; all great entrepreneurs are. But this book doesn't portray him as a bellicose tyrant, the way Steve Jobs is often portrayed. And it doesn't portray him as a borderline autistic, diabolical businessman, they way Bill Gates is often portrayed. The portrayal is closer to a character on the popular TV show, "The Big Bang Theory". There is something in the portrayal that it is funny and likable in a way that is similar to almost every geek I've ever known. In this regard the book is very well written. And the narration was excellent.
On a personal note I inherited the office that Jim Clark inhabited as a grad student at the University of Utah, about a decade after him, where I too earned a Ph.D. in computer science. When I moved into the office I found a raincoat and an umbrella standing in the corner, made to look like a mannequin without the mannequin. It was referred to as the "Invisible Grad Student". Rummaging through the pockets of the raincoat I discovered an old printout, on old style computer paper, of the department student directory. Jim's name was highlighted. After asking around I discovered that it was widely believed that the Invisible Grad Student was the work of Jim Clark. But all that was known for sure was that it had at one time been his office. When I pointed out that this might be valuable and inquired about rather the department wanted to keep these artifacts in a safe place, the items were stolen. Since at that time all the grad students had keys to everybody else's office, the list of suspects was intra
I really enjoyed this audiobook. Beautifully narrated. Especially the antitrust trials with microsoft. I must have gone back to that part about 10 times, very funny.
"Narrator must teach speed reading!"
The book was good but I will avoid this narrator for now on. He reads way too fast, and I couldn't enjoy the book. I will have to read this one.
"Desperately in need of editing; painful narration"
Michael Lewis is a great author and I've enjoyed many of his books - both traditional and audible formats. This book doesn't seem to have the characteristic voice and insights of Lewis, perhaps reflecting the influence of Reizen.
I'm a big fan of this non-fiction genre.
The narrator attempts to give voices/accents to the individual characters in the story. The result is distracting and irritating. For example, his attempt to embody the Indian characters sounds half-way Irish and all the way irritating. I almost stopped listening to avoid being subjected to any more of this narration.
The book itself is too long, punctuated by long descriptions of scenes of minute conversations or details that simply don't sufficiently add to the story to justify inclusion. I would edit the book by 20%. I would also replace the narration.
If you are a fan of Michael Lewis and looking for a book that reflects his quality of writing and insight, skip this one.
"An adequate story with an overzealous narrator..."
The story of Jim Clark is very interesting, but it's hard to make an entire book on his effect on Silicon Valley, as well as differentiate how his interaction with Venture Capitalists is different than Google's or shaped a path that simply wasn't available previously. Michael Lewis does his best though, and it would make for a fun listen if not for a narrator that feels it's necessary to "perform" every character uniquely. The choices for accents and tones proves extremely distracting from the story, and affects the listeners appreciation of Michael Lewis' work.
"First experience with a Michael Lewis book"
This was my first experience with Michael Lewis' writing. He tells a story from inside, but doesn't make it too romantic. It's raw and compelling. It's novel journalism.
I had several recommendations on which Michael Lewis book to read first. Speaking as a Millennial, I am glad I chose "The New New Thing." I was old enough to remember the events in the book, but I had no way of appreciating the innovation and the change brought on by the Internet. This book gave me perspective.
The reader Bruce Reizen was great when narrating, but the different voices for different characters all sounded the same (like the whole book took place in the deep south). While that made sense for a few characters, the author's description of the voices and the actual audio were not always aligned. But that was no deal breaker. It was an excellent listening experience.
"Good to check out yesterday's cutting edge"
Worth listening to despite how out of date the book is. Also worth checking out Lewis's earlier writing style, which is very good but not as confident as his more current work.
"Great text, HORRIBLE performance"
Seriously, this has got to be the WORST reading of an audiobook I've ever heard. I literally cannot enjoy and/or concentrate on the story because the reading is so bad. It's too fast, and too crisp--you can't relax into the story the way you can with most books (i.e., every other audiobook I've ever listened to).
Not going to spoil the book.
He spoke too quickly. Also, yeah it's great the guy can do voices, but those voices aren't really necessary if the listener can relax into the book. This man read as though he had no understanding of what he was reading--he read too quickly, with no inflection, and the only time he slowed down was when he did one of those voices, but by then he'd done such a horrible job on the lead-up that the voice ended up being more of a distraction than anything. I don't know if he's just normally a fast-talker or he had too much coffee that day, but holy crap it's horrible. You guys should commission a re-reading, seriously.
"Interesting and encouraging"
The voice performance was brilliant and bring out the anglo saxon perspective of a lot of silicon valley elements
Alan Prior
When they were on the boat and battling between engineer and software geek.
Yes, when Jim Clark was such a street kid and moved on.
Excellent book. Yet a little bit monotone.
I'm an engineer living in Vancouver, Canada.
"Another winner by Michael"
Getting to know Jim Clark through Michael's eye.
There was a point when I thought they had replaced Bruce as the sound of his voice changed significantly. It was okay but not sure I liked it that much. I always enjoy listening to the author narrate their own story.
I loved the story. An insight into an exciting time in Silicon Valley only a few get to see firsthand.

Making it clear that his Government would not save Campa Cola building, Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Friday said that Government would not legislate for a single building.
Replying to criticism by BJP state unit resident Devendra Fadanavis that Government did not do anything in six month's time given by the Court, Chief Minister Chavan said that the resident knew that it is unauthorised and after the matter reached High Court and Supreme Court, it was ruled in 2013 that the illegal flats would be demolished. He pointed out that the Supreme Court also has stated in its order that no state authority should intervene in this matter and carry out demolition.
Chavan also added that there is no point in criticism of Government inaction in six months, since the period was given for the residents to vacate the flats before demolition. Taking in to account Diwali festivities the demolition was not carried out and six months period was given, he said.
Replying to a question whether Government would save the Campa Cola by taking the issue in the cabinet chief minister said, "The residents want Government to legislate in this regard to save the building, but then question is what would be done if residents of 66 thousand unauthorised constructions in Pimpri-Chinchwad approach us with the same demand. Government can not legislate for a single building."
He said that the Government has come out with cluster scheme for the same and are seeking the legal opinion on this issue. Chief minister made it clear that after Swadheen Kshatriya committee submitted its report which mainly dealt with unauthorised constructions in rural areas, he has constituted a committee under Mumbai commissioner Sitaram Kunte to look in to urban unauthorised construction issues.
ALSO READ: If Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan can go against Supreme Court to ban dance bars, why can't he do the same for Campa homes?
Mumbai civic officials, residents face off at Campa Cola society
17 days after the Supreme Court rejected a petition by the residents against its earlier order asking them to vacate the flats, officials of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) reached the complex along with the police to cut power, water and piped gas supply to the illegal flats. However, they were prevented by slogan-shouting residents of the Campa Cola Housing Society in upscale Worli, who closed the iron gates and placed bamboo poles to prevent them from entering. "After issuing notices to the residents of Campa Cola under Section 488 of the MCGM Act, the deadline for the residents to vacate their flats has ended today.
