Is Denard Span the missing piece that the Washington Nationals feel they need to get over the top? With BJ Upton landing in Atlanta, the Nats finally got the man they've been chasing for a few years in Span. Washington blew away the competition during the 2012 regular season before falling victim to some standard St. Louis Cardinal October magic. It's actually hard to imagine a team that needs much less help than Washington. Davey Johnson leads a team onto the field in 2013 that possesses nothing short of jaw-dropping talent. Denard Span With Span, Johnson now has what the organization feels to be an everyday centerfielder and leadoff hitter. Just as rumors of Michael Bourn to Washington started to catch fire, Span enters the mix. Span is signed through 2014 with a club option for '15. Next year he will make $3M and then get a raise to $4.75M in 2014 before the option year. The breakout season by Ian Desmond answered one of the very questions they had heading into 2012. Danny Espinosa represents another potential question mark, but how much is he really hurting this roster? In my opinion, let Espinosa be. He might just be one season away like Desmond was. Michasel Morse and Adam Laroche are also names to throw into the fire now. Span will play center, which bumps Bryce Harper to left and Jayson Werth will man right. The Nationals, without question, want to re-up Laroche after a dominant and clutch 2012 campaign by the sweet-swinging lefty. If they grab Laroche, Morse is suddenly expendable, and he will no doubt receive a ton of attention from other teams. If they can't sign Laroche, then Morse or even Tyler Moore will neatly fit into the vacancy at 1st base, though with less defensive aptitude. A potential lineup for the Nationals in 2013 might look like this: Span – CF Harper – LF Zimmerman – 3B Laroche/Morse – 1B Werth – RF Desmond – SS Espinosa – 2B Flores/Ramos – C Impressive. With the arms that Washington has returning to the fold and a lineup like this, they are once again poised to take down all competition in the National League. In exchange for Span, the Nats gave away top pitching prospect Alex Meyer, someone whose services the Minnesota Twins organization will immediately require.

Why We Still Need the Voting Rights Act
Mug shot of Olen Burrage in 1964.The expected gutting of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) by the Supreme Court in Shelby County v. Holder has captured many headlines of late, and with good reason. Less than fifty years removed from the VRA's passage and in the face of mounting state-by-state efforts to restrict the franchise, the Roberts Court appears poised to undo one of the civil rights movement's hallmark achievements. As an array of voting rights advocates and legal experts have demonstrated, such a decision would make it substantially more costly and difficult for citizens and organizations to challenge voting restrictions that are discriminatory in intent or effect.

If Vitali thinks he's going to have the kind of easy night his brother had last week, he's in for a shock," vows upcoming heavyweight title challenger Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs (51-5-1, 45 KOs).
Speaking about Samuel Peter's non-performance versus Vitali's brother Wladimir on September 11 in relation to his October 16 battle for the WBC Heavyweight Championship at O2 World Arena in Hamburg, Germany, Briggs says there is no comparison..
"After two rounds, Samuel Peter became a human punching bag," said Briggs. "When I finally get Vitali in that ring, he's going to be up against a determined Shannon Briggs. I'm his size. I'm even more powerful than he is. He can't keep me away by holding out his left arm and trying to wrap me up like those Klitschkos usually do. Vitali's next fight will be nothing like Wladimir's last fight. He is going to be fighting for his life from the opening bell."
The power-punching New Yorker feels he is fighting for more than his third championship. "I want to bring excitement back to heavyweight boxing. Knockout power excitement that makes the fans interested in the big men again. But more than that, I will be fighting for asthma sufferers around the globe."
Briggs says he has his course all mapped out. "Vitali is just the beginning. After I take him out, David Haye, the little cruiserweight with the heavyweight mouth, is next and then Wladimir after that."

As Facebook's IPO opened, real-time data feed (and HFT critic) Nanex Research noticed a strange anomaly: A Crossed market. This occurs whenever the Bid price is higher than the Offer (the spread is inverted).
What might be the source of this? Take a wild guess:
This also brings another example of the dangers of placing a blind, mindless emphasis on speed above everything else. Algos reacting to prices created by other algos reacting to prices created by still other algos. Somewhere along the way, it has to start with a price based on economic reality. But the algos at the bottom of the intelligence chain can't waste precious milliseconds for that. They are built to simply react faster than the other guys algos. Why? Because the other guy figured out how to go faster! We don't need this in our markets. We need more intelligence. The economic and psychological costs stemming from Facebook not getting the traditional opening day pop are impossible to measure. That it may have been caused by algos reacting to a stuck quote from one exchange is not, sadly, surprising anymore.
Ironically, the NASDAQ's clients are no longer the investing public, but rather are HFTs. Whiole most people look at this as a black idea, I suspect the Nazz' accountants think its much ad o about nothing . . .
More charts after the jump
Bart Chilton, a commissioner at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, talks about delays in Facebook Inc.'s first day of trading and the impact of high-frequency transactions on stock exchanges. Nasdaq OMX Group Inc., under scrutiny after shares of Facebook were hit by delays and mishandled orders on its first day, blamed "poor design" in the software it uses for driving auctions in initial public offerings.

Amid allegations of selective disclosure of information and technical problems on the NASDAQ, Facebook's initial public offering has led to a flurry of litigation. According to Roben Farzad and Josh Brown, however, the missteps are unlikely to lead to any meaningful regulatory reform. Roben is a senior writer at Bloomberg Businessweek and Josh is a financial advisor at Fusion Analytics. They talk with Bloomberg Law's Lee Pacchia.

(Are we sick of discussing this yet?)
Market strategist Barry Ritholtz explains his views on the Facebook IPO debacle and why the social-networking company has no one to blame but itself for the mess due its greed, which he describes as not that far below that of Bernie Madoff.
Did Facebook Feed Inside Information to the Big Boys … While Leaving the Individual Investor In the Dark?
Reader McFid – who has been a breach of fiduciary duty expert since 2003 – sent me the following article:
Today, The Daily Beast reports that certain underwriters may have lowered their revenue projections prior to the IPO AND may have informed some investors; but not all investors. I was jammed up last week and could not get the fact out of my mind that while on the road show that there would be private one-on-ones for certain investors. The general road shows surface questions, many questions over and over; there is no doubt that these questions (I wasn't there) were laser focused on revenues; whether new models compared to pre-IPO or ARPU (average revenue per user). The private one-on-ones cast extreme scrutiny on revenue numbers and assumptions – past present and future. NO DOUBT: When underwriters, no doubt listening, perhaps bristling and responding to potential investor's questions, probes and scrutiny – likely, as is often the case when more than two people look at the same set of numbers, raised some hard-to-dispose-of aka troubling issues causing them (apparently) to adjust projections DOWN; but they decided not to disseminate that to ALL investors. What are the future prospects? Some may ask with approximately 800 million users how many more would sign up in the future? And given the anti-climactic IPO fallout how many will remain active, revenue paying users? Facebook's tagline ironically is, I believe, to promote a more open, transparent and connected world. Really? There can't be a more prominent example … of information assymetry; unequal, untimely and incomplete information – perhaps knowing, willful and intentional and approaching recission of all those IPO allocations – si?
Reuters reports:
Morgan Stanley selectively disclosed the change in Facebook estimates.
Business Insider confirms that this might be a big story:
The analysts cut their estimates because a Facebook executive told them to, a source tells us.
The information about the estimate cut was then verbally conveyed to sophisticated institutional investors who were considering buying Facebook stock, but not to smaller investors.
The estimate cut appears to have influenced the investment decisions of at least some institutional investors, dampening their appetite for Facebook stock, and crucially affecting the price at which they were willing to buy Facebook stock.
As I described earlier, at best, this "selective disclosure" is grossly unfair to individual investors who bought Facebook stock on the IPO (or at any time since).
At worst, it's a violation of securities laws.
This latest chapter in the Facebook IPO story began this morning, when Reuters' Alistair Barr reported that the research analysts at the company's lead underwriters—Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan—had cut their earnings estimates for Facebook during the company's IPO roadshow. This was highly unusual, if not unprecedented (I've been in and around the tech IPO business for almost 20 years, and I've never heard of it happening.)

It was a very long time ago, as I had just started my first class at Brooks: I was returning home from the Central Coast, where I'd spent the weekend with a new friend I had made in school. I was just 18 at the time, and as green as they come to the photographic community. It was a gorgeous spring day as we passed through the hills, carpeted in that gorgeous shade of spring green, and rolling on as far as the eye could scan. Just then my friend asked, "How would you expose for that?" referring to the green hills that I was lost in thought about. I was taken aback by his question, because I didn't know the answer.
Being the "hot shot" young kid at Brooks, it was assumed I'd know such things, and a lot more!
Editor's Note: This is a Guest Blog Post from Moose Petersen
Why do certain photographs appeal to us so much while others do little to spark our interest? Sometimes it has to do with our emotional connection to the subject matter, but more often it has to do with human evolution and the way that we see.
A camera's LCD screen can be quite misleading when viewing your images. Often, when you import your images onto your computer they don't look anything like what you originally shot (that is, if you were working with RAW files). In order to get better color out of your images, you'll need to follow a couple of steps. And once you've reached the end, it will be like night and day.
We talked to four of the leading industry professionals to talk about how they get better color. Here are their tips from start to finish:

Customer Reviews
April 2015
My tour was outstanding. the tour was given by Grand Master Caz who was the best. As an member of the Cold Crush Brothers an original Hip Hop group he was extremely knowledgeable. We had teenagers with who are still talking to the friends about the tour. As an adult who comes to Harlem frequently, I learned so much.
December 2013
This tour was amazing. We were lead around Harlem by a veritable hip hop pioneer . He had lots of stories and insights into hip hop and the Harlem neighbourhood. Really amazing. Great guide and nice guy too. Went out of his way to show us even more to Harlem . Highly recommend thisctour

Wells did not race seriously again until 2010. That year, she ran a handful of meets, and most were mediocre. But then she proved the doctor wrong and ran fast—she was second at the Outdoor Championships in Des Moines in June.
That fall, Wells sat in a group meeting with Mitchell at the training center in Clermont. They were discussing the coming year. He turned to her and asked, "You healthy?"
"I'm good."
"You ready to train?"
"Of course."
"Aren't you tired of being a lane filler?"
"And I was like, huh?" she says. "He said, 'Aren't you tired of being the girl they don't need in a race, the one they let in because they don't have enough hurdlers?'"
That comment pulled a trigger. She was going to become the girl those races wanted, the one they needed. From that day on, there would be no more mediocre days. If she only had 50 percent to give, she'd give 100 percent of that 50. "It was pedal to the floor," she says. Off the track, she researched nutrition and borrowed moves from other sports to build a stronger core. She scrutinized endless YouTube videos of the once dominant and eerily calm East German hurdlers. She reviewed her past races, identified her mistakes, and used her practices to erase them.
In 2011, she went undefeated through the indoor season (the indoor event is 60 meters long with five hurdles). She destroyed the field at Indoor Nationals in Albuquerque in February, running the third fastest indoor time by an American, behind Gail Devers and Lolo Jones. The spring outdoor season progressed on a mixed note as she continued to hone her technique. And then Sunday, June 26, rolled around. It was Outdoor Nationals in Eugene, Oregon, on Hayward Field. The track that nearly broke her heart.
Soon after arriving, she went to the track, walked to lane four, and sat down. She patted it. Talked to it. I am not afraid.
Shortly after 2:30 p.m. on a sunny, Sunday afternoon, the gun went off. With each hurdle Wells attacked, she gained on the field, and when she broke the tape, there was daylight before second place. Her time of 12.50 was the world's fastest to date for 2011. As the tape fluttered to the ground, she began to shriek with joy and relief and gratitude. She fell to the track, rolled to her back, sprung up, pumped her arms, dropped to her knees, put her forehead on her hands and wept into the track. She had made her first team; she was going to the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea.
She was back. Thank you, God.
Her comeback wasn't enough to crack the general public's indifference to track and field. But it attracted the media. When Wells exposed her past—all of it—to a Yahoo sports reporter who'd read her blog, her story went beyond track insiders and became the story of abused children and families all over the country.

The ten 33-inch-high barriers that stand between Kellie Wells and a ticket to London are nothing compared to the horrors she's already overcome.

I never had to many issues with financial aid. They helped assist me whenever I had questions.
Campus Housing:
The dorms are set up in a suite style and are very spacious. There are also apartment style housing options which are nice. The apartments are very spacious, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, but it is a very quiet place to live.
Off-Campus Dining:
Hobb Nobb and Comeback shack are the bomb.com
Off-Campus Housing:
I lovr my apartment. I am right beside campus
Party Scene:
Been to better is all
They are strict for the right reasons
Campus Food:
It's actually really good we are lucky
Campus Housing:
Quite modern, clean living spaces
Going to football basketball games were probably my favorite part. But I attended a couple volleyball games and they were always fun to watch. I am big on sports and grew up in Eastern North Carolina, so ECU has crazy pride in their football team. We have good school spirit at AppState but if it are better I think it would affect people in a more positive way.
Off-Campus Housing:
Living off campus is still convenient, many available spots in apartments, the costs are average and some are lower, parking is tight because it's a small town but it isn't impossible to find a parking spot.
Off-Campus Dining:
The cost of off campus dining was never a problem. There are many flavorful restaurants in downtown Boone that have variety and give visitors a taste of the diversity you can find in the High Country.
Appalachian State University wants the safe and friendly atmosphere that parents want their kids experiencing, and although college students will be drinking or doing drugs the campus is pretty strict to keeping things under control.
Applying for financial aid was simple and I got the financial support I needed for the school year. Just make sure you check your emails and once you get an email from Financial Aid, accept your award as soon as possible.
Campus Food:
I was pleased with on campus dining. It can get repetitive but there are a lot of options, you just have to find what you like. I really liked WrAPPs and the sandwich bar in downstairs central, wraps are healthy and filling. I loved how Mcalister's was at Trivette right across from my dorm, so I got that a lot. Eating a la carte is pricey but there are more options!
Campus Housing:
Living on campus is lively and it always seemed enjoyable. The rooms were cozy and sure they were close but being in a dorm at App State was fun because there is such a big community on each and every floor. My floor was my family! I loved it.
Greek Life:
It's like Greek Life anywhere else. Nothing spectacular. It's a slight divide between Greeks and non-Greeks, but no real tension
Most sports events on campus have a good turn out. The facilities are great, and spread across campus for easy access for all students.
Off-Campus Housing:
It depends on what agency you go through to find off campus housing. There are student apartments off campus, but they lack variety. The cost is fairly low, Boone is a college town.
Party Scene:
It's not my scene, but you can find a party on most Friday nights. The cottages, that where to go.
Off-Campus Dining:
Boone is a great place for local, fresh foods. Most restaurant get their produce and such from local farmers.
Definitely get outside scholarships as well as financial aid.
Campus Food:
I love that I only pay for what I get, my meal plan is like a credit card, not the traditional swipe system. I love the markets, and using my meal plan at vending machines. But the food gets repetitive, and there are only two coffee shops, both on east side
Campus Housing:
Everything is extremely close if you live on campus. The people are very nice. You always hear about the Appalachian family, join clubs if you want to experience that.
Off-Campus Housing:
I still live in a dorm, but I plan on living in an apartment next year. I look forward to the added freedom. I like how a lot of the apartment complexes in Boone are near bus stops. That way, I can take the bus to campus instead of trying to find a parking place.
Party Scene:
I have never been to a party at App yet. I know we have them and I have friends that enjoy going to them.

The differential GPS (DGPS) method is based on knowledge of the highly accurate, geodetically surveyed location of a GPS reference station, which observes GPS signals in real time and compares their ranging information to the ranges expected to be observed at its fixed point. The differences between observed ranges and predicted ranges are used to compute corrections to GPS parameters, sources of error, and/or resultant positions. Differential corrections can be broadcast to GPS users, who can apply the corrections to their received GPS signals or computed positions. Corrections can also be stored for later analysis and dissemination. Differential techniques are used in many civilian applications to eliminate the effects of SA.
Instead of using C/A-code pseudoranging information to obtain a position solution, many GPS receivers also measure the L-band carrier signals. This technique, known as carrier phase tracking, works by determining which portion of the 19 centimeter L1 and 24 centimeter L2 carrier waves are striking the antenna at a given instant in time, thus revealing the phase of the received signals. With subsequent signal processing that includes squaring or cross-correlating the carrier waves, carrier phase tracking can produce very precise measurements, sometimes as good as 1 to 5 millimeters. Thus, the technique is valuable for high-performance applications. The difficulty with using carrier phase tracking is determining the exact number of carrier wave cycles along the path from the GPS satellites to the receiver's antenna, also known as ambiguity resolution. For static positioning, this can be accomplished by various techniques that include knowing the approximate location of the antenna and simultaneously tracking signals from all satellites in view of the antenna. The process is more difficult for real-time dynamic positioning but can still be used. Because GPS receivers using this technique give civilian users access to both the L1 and L2 frequencies without accessing the codes transmitted on L1 and L2, they are often referred to as "codeless" receivers.
A variety of federal, state, county, and public sector organizations and their counterparts in other countries are establishing or planning to use networks of GPS reference stations, utilizing both differential and carrier phase tracking techniques, for either real-time navigation or post-processed positioning. The use of GPS networks for research in the Earth and oceanic sciences has been well established for a number of years. For example, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and other organizations from various nations have established the International GPS Service for Geodynamics, a network of more than 140 continuously operating reference stations, data centers, and analysis centers that collectively support geophysical and geodetic research, such as the measurement of active tectonic processes, ice sheet movements, changes in sea level, and variations in the Earth's rotation.
Ground-based GPS networks and receivers on board low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites are also being used to sense the atmosphere by measuring the delay encountered as GPS signals pass through the troposphere and the ionosphere. Water vapor measurements made with GPS-based remote sensing may be important for weather forecasting and research on global climate change.

text: drugs Decision to release medical marijuana records now in hands of judge By Lindsey Smith • Feb 1, 2011 (photo by Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio) A federal judge in Grand Rapids heard arguments Tuesday in a case involving who has access to patient information under Michigan's Medical Marijuana Act. More teens using marijuana, fewer using alcohol By Mark Brush & Steve Carmody • Dec 14, 2010 United Nations Photo The University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research has been monitoring drug use among teens for 36 years. This year's "Monitoring the Future" study had responses from more than 46,000 8th, 10th, and 12th graders. They found that marijuana use is on the rise. 43.8% of 12th graders said they've used marijuana in their lifetime. That's up from 42% in 2009, and 42.6% in 2008. From the study: Marijuana use, which had been rising among teens for the past two years, continues to rise again this year—a sharp contrast to the considerable decline of the preceding decade Alcohol use, on the other had has been decreasing. 54.1% of 12th graders said they'd been drunk in their lifetime. That's down from 56.5% in 2009, and 54.7% in 2008. From the study: Alcohol use—and, specifically, occasions of heavy drinking—continues its long-term decline among teens into 2010, reaching historically low levels. Cities react to medical marijuana By Mark Brush • Dec 7, 2010 USFWS Michigan's medical marijuana law is intended "to provide protections for the medical use of marihuana." But a) it conflicts with federal law, and b) it does not provide details on how and where registered medical marijuana users can get their pot. Confusion reigns around these issues and court battles are heating up. Some cities accept the state law and are regulating pot dispensaries through ordinances or zoning laws. Others are refusing to accept the law and are passing ordinances that effectively ban medical marijuana. Here we plan to keep a running tally of how cities across Michigan are reacting to the medical marijuana law. Let us know if you have more information that should be posted here!

Alerts passengers on approaching stations
MADURAI: Passengers need not depend on others to know the approaching station or location of a train anymore, thanks to Global Positioning System (GPS) technology.
Southern Railway has installed GPS-enabled `station identification and display boards' on the Madurai-Chennai-Madurai Vaigai and Tiruchi-Chennai-Tiruchi Pallavan superfast expresses to give information on train movements to passengers, especially foreigners. They have been set up in the air-conditioned chair car coaches.

Planet Beach Contempo Spa (parent)Read MoreA wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas?its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries?Planet Beach Automated Spa is a futuristic relaxation atmosphere where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles. Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.1309 Barataria Blvd.Marrero, LA US
Fantastic SamsRead MoreThe stylists at Fantastic Sams keep things simple?but that doesn't mean plain. At salons scattered across the US, the mane-makers fill a head of hair's everyday needs with services such as adult cuts, bang trims, and facial styling. They also go beyond basic services with texturing treatments, foil highlights, and hair relaxers more effective than simply slipping some gin into the shampoo. All services are complemented with their trademark FantasticStyle shampoo therapy, a treatment that includes a three-minute scalp massage and a nourishing argan-oil serum.1804 Barataria BlvdMarrero, LA US
Salon CentroRead MoreThe vision of Salon Centro is to exceed the expectations of our clients by servicing them with a spirit of excellence and creativity in both custom hair coloring and precision hair cutting.2800 Manhattan BlvdHarvey, LA US

Products from brands such as Eminence and Biotone enhance skinly satisfaction with each well-tuned stroke. To amplify the muscle-melting magic, dayscaping guests immerse themselves in the detoxifying infrared solar sauna, which is designed to ease tension, open pores, and clear the mind of worries about how to draw a realistic-looking horse.2800 Manhattan BoulevardHarvey, LA US
Sun Your Buns New OrleansRead MoreSun Your Buns' mobile airbrush tanning gives clients a full-body sunkissed glow in their own home. Airbrush applications take place in a transportable tanning tent to help avoid any unwanted bronzed coffee tables. The skilled tan technicians apply a full-body mist of a tanning solution containing DHA, which works with the skin?s own keratin to darken it naturally. The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes, and results can last up to 10 days. The process eliminates the need for harmful UV rays, letting customers enjoy a golden gleam without the risk of wrinkles and sun damage.1457 Maplewood DriveHarvey, LA US
Bella Brazilian WaxRead MoreThough the walls of Bella Brazilian Wax are predominantly white, a few signature splashes of bright-pink and baby-blue paint bring the space to life. The clean and modern decor belies the sophistication of the approach taken by the studio?s licensed estheticians. The Bella staff use their warm and friendly approach to offer clients of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to be professionally pampered. To that end, they are trained in using an authentic Brazilian hard wax, which solidifies and pulls off unwanted hair from delicate areas without the mess or yanked skin of traditional strips. A Bella esthetician can lift fuzz from a brow or upper lip, or provide a full-body session that works well for hard-to-manage areas, such as the underarms, Brazilian, and full legs.3700 Lapalco BoulevardHarvey, LA US

Compositing on 2nd monitor
I am running Linux Mint 11 (Gnome) on my computer.
I have a nVidia G98 [Quadro NVS 420] graphics card attached to 2 separate monitors via DVI. The primary monitor works fine. But the second monitor seems to not run compositing properly. There is no windows decoration I believe. (no borders to windows and no title bar).
Also, I am having difficulty figuring out how to move windows between the two displays.
I am posting my xorg.conf here:
Re: Compositing on 2nd monitor
You cannot move windows between the two displays with that setup... it looks like you have two graphics cards (one monitor on each card), correct?
If you are not using two separate screens for a specific reason, connect both monitors to the same card if possible and use TwinView.
Otherwise, Xinerama is your only solution for moving windows between cards, and while Xinerama is enabled, compositing cannot be used on any display.
Re: Compositing on 2nd monitor
I only have 1 graphics card. There is also onboard graphics processing but it must be a "one or the other" thing. The graphics card I have gives 4 DVI ports that can be plugged into. And both of my monitors are plugged into those.
For some reason "TwinView" is greyed out in my nVidia settings and cannot be selected through the GUI. Can I edit the xorg.conf manually to do it?

|Output is set to contract for the third year in a row in 2014. Rising unemployment and mounting uncertainties are undermining business and consumer confidence. Fiscal tightening is also weighing on economic activity. The upturn in both domestic and foreign demand is projected to be slow, as subdued income growth holds back consumption, global growth remains sluggish and ample spare capacity delays a pick-up in investment.
The implementation of the government's structural reform programme to increase labour force participation and public sector efficiency is critical to ensuring fiscal sustainability over the longer term, as age-related spending increases.

Buying an established funeral home is a smart choice if you are looking to get into the funeral industry. This $20.7 billion industry remains steady regardless of the ups and downs of the economy. In the past, most funeral home businesses were passed down through generations within a family, whereas nowadays it is increasingly common to find funeral homes being sold. Buying an existing business with an established reputation within a community is a wise investment.Owning a funeral home business requires a great deal of empathy, compassion and people skills to provide a comfortable experience to grieving customers. Hours are unpredictable and can vary a great deal from week to week. Funeral directors wear many hats and are involved in everything from preserving and preparing the body for the funeral to serving families in making funeral arrangements. To operate a funeral home, at least one member of the staff must have a certificate or degree in mortuary science. The requirements vary from state to state.

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 11/16/14
Every week in the NFL beat writers for every team are included in a conference call with the opposing team's coach and one of their players. The Carolina Panthers play the Seattle Seahawks opening weekend, and veteran wide receiver Steve Smith was the Panther selected to answer questions from the Seattle media. Some of his remarks didn't paint a friendly picture of new Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski. "The prior offensive coordinator [Chudzinski] really was positioning himself to just apply for that head coaching job," Smith said Wednesday on a conference call with Seattle Seahawks reporters. "I think our offense suffered a little bit because of that." Smith, 34, a five-time Pro Bowler, felt Chudzinski had the Panthers get away from some of their strengths last season. "At times, we got cute," Smith said. "We did things that weren't necessarily us, like the underutilizing of [running back] Mike Tolbert. But we're out of that. The past is the past." [Blount/ESPN] Smith caught 73 passes for 1,174 yards and 4 touchdowns last season for the Panthers. Carolina was 12th in total offense, 16th in passing and 9th in rushing. They averaged 22.3 points per game. [Related: Barkevious Mingo joins teammates practicing in pads]

On Wednesday I spent 14 hours and drove around 700 miles chasing storms through Kansas and Oklahoma. The "cap" prevented many of the storms from producing much, but we ended the night with a breathtaking sunset that lasted over an hour! What a sight! This is a photo I took near Enid, Oklahoma while we were enjoying the show.

Celestial Fireworks
By NASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA), A. Nota (ESA/STScI), and the Westerlund 2 Science Team
April 24th, 2015
NASA and ESA are celebrating the Hubble Space Telescope's silver anniversary of 25 years in space by unveiling some of nature's own fireworks — a giant cluster of about 3,000 stars called Westerlund 2. The cluster resides inside a vibrant stellar breeding ground known as Gum 29, located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina. The comparatively young, 2-million-year-old star cluster contains some of our galaxy's hottest, brightest, and most massive stars. The largest stars are unleashing a torrent of ultraviolet light and hurricane-force winds that etch away the enveloping hydrogen gas cloud. This creates a fantasy celestial landscape of pillars, ridges, and valleys.

Rockefeller calls it a day
By Dominic Kamp
October 23rd, 2013
Although it was back in 2008 when I visited the Rockefeller Center the last time, it felt like yesterday. I noticed though that the skyline had changed quite a bit. The building in the front center (between 46th & 47th streets) must have popped up out of the ground, as it's not even in Google Maps. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day and at last, I could experience how Rockefeller enjoyed a sunny day's ending.

4. Whodunit?
Now that the world knows President Fitzgerald Grant was sleeping with Olivia Pope, the question is who outed the illicit lovers? Most would assume that First Lady Mellie Grant is the culprit, but she may not be the only one with a vendetta.
"You'd be surprised by how many people have motive and opportunity and means," said Bellamy Young, who plays Mellie. "It's an incredible hour of television of going on the ride to find out who leaked it, and you will find out in the first episode back. It's the big giant domino and sets the whole season in motion."

Lost Marques: Bianchi
1885 - 1955 (then Autobianchi)
THE AUTOBIANCHI COMPANY once produced over 200,000 cars a year and was Italy's third biggest car manufacturer. But when Autobianchi was at its peak, few would have known about the company's humble beginnings. Bianchi was founded by Edoardo Bianchi, the son of the proprietor of a large grocery firm, who opened his own Milan workshop at the age of twenty, in 1885, and started to manufacture bicycles of English pattern, which were an immediate success.
By 1890, he had acquired an established reputation for his products which were well known for successes in road and track races in Italy and abroad. It was not until 1897 that Edoardo turned his attention to motor cycles and, in the following year, to producing his first four-wheeler. It was based on bicycle techniques, with a steel-tube frame and a single-cylinder,
de Dion engine powering the rear wheels. By 1900, the Bianchi works in Milan had grown to a substantial size and were devoted almost entirely to motor-cycle and bicycle production.
Clearly, development work on the original quadri-cycle had continued, because in 1900 a second single-cylinder car was produced, again using the 942 cc de Dion unit driving the rear wheels by chain. At this point, the Bianchi company took a decisive step in the direction of motor car manufacture: an engineer, Giuseppe Merosi, joined the company to develop the motor car side of production. A range of increasingly powerful and fast touring cars was evolved: by 1907 a new factory was producing three chassis types of different wheelbase lengths, all using interchangeable components.
The engines were of the four-cylinder, side-valve type, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed gearbox and a chain. Another personality who was to play a considerable part in the future of the company now joined Edoardo Bianchi-Gian Fernando Tommaselli. The scale of production was increased even further and an ultra- modern plant was built, from which Bianchi cars were produced for the Italian and world markets until World War 1. Despite the fact that at this stage the company had not applied the principles of line production to its output, it had established a reputation for reasonably priced quality, sound construction and good performance.
New for 1908 was the type G, which featured a modern, L-head, mono bloc, four-cylinder engine and, initially, a three-speed gearbox (by 1910 it had acquired a further ratio). An interesting development, for an Italian manufacturer, was the type S of 1914, an inexpensive 1244 cc three-speed car, available in only one body style and one colour. Electrics were an optional extra, but were standard on Bianchi's wartime newcomer the 3.3-litre B-type of 1915.
The S was enlarged to 1460 cc in 1916, but disappeared shortly after World War 1 in favour of the type 12. Vintage Bianchis typified the more conservative strain in Italian design, with little sporting flavour, although they did build a contender for a 2-litre
Grand Prix
in 1922. The car had a dohc four-cylinder engine and produced over 90 bhp. Unfortunately the project was shelved. In 1923, a new model, the type 16, was produced to replace the 12, and it featured a detachable
cylinder head
Edoardo Bianchi.
The firm also brought out, at the same time, the 2-litre, pushrod type 18, which was very popular with English coach builders of the period. It was not until 1924, with the arrival of Antonio Santoni to the company as chief engineer, that the company turned to the small car sector of the market, with the S4. Like the larger, 2300 cc, type 20 which was produced at the same time, the S4 retained one distinguishing feature, that of a separate gearbox driven by a short shaft from the clutch and driving the rear wheels via another short shaft.
Santoni's S4, which was Bianchi's answer to the Fiat 509, developed year by year, via the Ss of 1927, until it was replaced, in 1935, by the 1452 cc S9, which remained in production until 1939. It featured a five-bearing crankshaft and, by 1936, had acquired hydraulic
and a
gearbox, though, unusually for a cheap Italian car, it rode on beam axles all round and wore Rudge type wire wheels. Also made was a long-wheelbase six/seven-seater version of the S9 which was used as a taxicab.
During World War 2 the Bianchi works were turned over to the production of heavy commercial vehicles, most of them with diesel engines. Towards the end of 1943, the Milan factory was almost completely destroyed by bombing, but production continued in other premises. In 1946, Edoardo Bianchi died, aged 81, his principal collaborator Tommaselli having died a few years earlier. After this, car production ceased, lorries being responsible for the company's survival until 1955 when, with Fiat and Pirelli backing, the company was given a new lease of life under the name of Autobianchi.
Although it may seem rather uncharitable to say so, perhaps the most outstanding achievement of the Bianchi company is that it survived for so long. It could trace its origins back to 1885 and yet in the intervening years, unlike most Italian car manufacturers, had won no racing fame, established no world records and built no epoch-making models. Despite such apparent handicaps the Bianchi achieved a very respectable position in the world car manufacturers' league on a basis of honest, un-spectacular, dependable family cars, a kind of middle-class respectability, which for a time gave the firm the ability to survive.

Shiv Sena MP Rajan Vichare who force-fed a supervisor of the IRCTC canteen in Maharashtra Sadan on July 17 said on Wednesday he regretted the incident after he came to know that the man was a Muslim and was fasting for Ramzan.
He, however, added: "It's not written on anyone's face whether he/she is a Hindu or a Muslim. I got to know about it just now."
Television channels throughout the day showed a CCTV grab of Vichare forcing the supervisor to eat a chapatti.
As a mark of protest, the IRCTC has withdrawn its catering facilities from the sadan. On Wednesday, a two-member fact finding committee of group general managers was formed to investigate the incident. The committee will have to submit its report within three days.
Suhas Mamdapurkar, the manager of the sadan, was transferred on Wednesday in the wake of the controversy. Mamdapurkar, who also held the charge of assistant resident commissioner (security), could not be contacted. Both his mobile phones were switched off.
On July 17, a group of 11 Shiv Sena MPs, apparently angry over not being served Maharashtrian food, created a ruckus at the sadan. Vichare, according to the footage, forced catering supervisor Arshad Zubair to eat a chapatti.

At the Shiv Sena's office on the third floor of Parliament House, Vichare tried to defend himself. The four-time MP from Thane, who won this year's Lok Sabha election by a margin of 2.86 lakh votes, claimed he was only asking Zubair to taste the food "which was not fit for even animals".
Zubair was not available for the comment.
As the controversy raged on TV channels, the Sena claimed that the MPs were protesting against bad administration of the sadan, which was being falsely portrayed as a 'communal incident' by opposition political parties.
"Resident commissioner Bipin Mallick is the reason for all the problems here. He should be removed from here within two days; otherwise, we will raise the issue in Parliament," Sena MP Krupal Tumane, who too was part of the July 17 group, said. Mallick is currently not in the capital and was not available on phone.
Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan ordered an inquiry into the complaints by MPs regarding services provided in the Maharashtra Sadan. Chief secretary JS Saharia will submit a report.
But Chavan red flagged the rowdyism of the Sena MPs and said public representatives must recognise their responsibilities and behave accordingly.
Muslim and secular organisations in Mumbai unequivocally condemned Vichare's act. "They took out their anger on the supervisor. It happened when he was fasting, which is horrible. It was IRCTC that comes out with food. If they have courage, why do not they go and fight with railways and the railway minister. It is they who decide what menu to serve," Irfan Ali Engineer, director, Centre for Study of Society and Secularism, said.
"They are MPs and most of them are not first-timers. They have done this not in some ordinary place but in a government premise. The Modi government will send a wrong message if they do not take any action," Maulana Hakim Mehmood Dariyabadi, general secretary of all the India Ulema Council, said.
"This (uproar over the incident) is an attempt to silence Shiv Sena's voice. We are proponents of Hindutva but we don't have hatred for other religions," Uddhav Thackeray told reporters in Aurangabad.
