Oil rose for a fourth day on speculation that the European Central Bank and the U.S. Federal Reserve will ease monetary policy to boost economic growth.
Prices gained as much 0.9 percent as the Fed and ECB officials indicated that they were considering stimulus measures before meetings scheduled for next week. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande said Friday they would do "everything" necessary to protect the euro.
"What's underpinning the market is expectations that we are going to see some kind of action from the ECB and the Fed, and that seems to be why oil prices are firming up around $90," said Gene McGillian, an analyst at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
Oil for September delivery climbed 64 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $90.03 a barrel at 11:53 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices have advanced 16 percent since June 28 and are 1.5 percent lower this week.
Brent crude for September settlement gained 96 cents, or 0.9 percent, to $106.22 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange.
The comments by Merkel and Hollande echoed a Thursday statement by ECB President Mario Draghi. He pledged that the euro would survive.
Germany and France are "bound by the deepest duty" to keep the 17-nation currency bloc intact, Merkel and Hollande said in a joint statement after they spoke by phone Friday.
"Merkel is saying that they are going to protect the euro and perhaps that's perceived by the majority as a positive signal because it suggests Germany is going to do its part to bail out the weaker members," said Sarah Emerson, managing director of Energy Security Analysis Inc. in Wakefield, Massachusetts.
The ECB is preparing to buy bonds in the secondary market, followed by purchases in the primary market by government-funded bailout funds, French newspaper Le Monde reported Friday.
"People are expecting the ECB to do something, and if they do, the market would get another bounce," said Kyle Cooper, director of commodities research at IAF Advisors in Houston.
Fed policymakers are studying options for further easing that could be deployed in case economic growth remains too feeble to produce a lasting decline in unemployment, Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said on July 17.
Easing tools include further purchases of assets, such as mortgage-backed securities, reducing the interest rate that the Fed pays on reserves banks keep with the Fed, and altering its communications on the outlook for interest rates, he said.
The central bank bought a total of $2.3 trillion in bonds from December 2008 to June 2011 to stimulate the economy in two rounds of asset purchases known as quantitative easing.
The Fed's Federal Open Market Committee will consider the need for more stimulus at a two-day meeting that concludes on Aug. 1. The ECB's Governing Council meeting in Frankfurt the next day will gauge the effect of their July decision to cut the benchmark interest rate to a record low of 0.75 percent.
Oil also followed advances in stocks and other commodities. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose as much as 1.2 percent and the S&P's GSCI Index of 24 commodities advanced as much as 1.1 percent.
Prices reduced gains after the Commerce Department reported U.S. gross domestic product rose at a 1.5 percent annual rate in the second quarter from a revised 2 percent gain in the prior quarter. It was the slowest pace of expansion since the third quarter of 2011. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 1.4 percent increase.
"I am not very impressed by the GDP number and it increases chances for the Fed's monetary stimulus," Cooper said. "Oil is moving in lockstep with equities."
Confidence among U.S. consumers dropped in July to the lowest level this year. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan final index of sentiment declined to 72.3 this month from 73.2 in June. The gauge was projected to hold at the preliminary reading of 72, according to a Bloomberg survey.
Oil may decline next week, a Bloomberg survey showed.
Eighteen of 30 analysts, or 60 percent, forecast crude will decrease through Aug. 3. Nine respondents, or 30 percent, predicted that futures would increase and three said there would be little change in prices.

Qualifies for the list as a Red List Species
Long regarded as a subspecies of the American Coot, the Hawaiian Coot is endemic to the islands, breeding on Ni'ihau, Kaua'i, O'ahu, Moloka'i, Maui, and Hawai'i. It breeds at only a relatively few sites, mostly on natural freshwater ponds, flooded taro fields, reservoirs, sewage-treatment ponds, and brackish fish ponds. The Hawaiian Coot is a familiar sight near beaches, golf courses, and other areas frequented by people.
This species declined steeply during the 20th century, and now numbers between 2,000 to 4,000 individuals, about 80% of these on Kaua'i, Maui, and O'ahu. It is nomadic and wanders between the islands in search of suitable water bodies. Peak coot numbers follow years of high rainfall.
The bird builds its nest on the water's surface anchored to floating algal mats or stems of emergent plants. Like the American Coot, it feeds by both dabbling and diving and probably takes similar foods. Reportedly it eats seeds and leaves and stems of aquatic plants and lagoon mollusks.
Threats include alien plants invading waters and making them unuseable by the bird, introduced predators including cats, dogs, and mongoose, and native predators such as Black-crowned Night-Herons, poisoning by pesticides and herbicides, and avian botulism, which has caused heavy mortality, especially on Hawaii. The bird was formerly hunted, but hunting was prohibited in 1939 and the species has been fully protected since 1973.
Since the Hawaiian Coot was so long considered a subspecies of the American Coot, it has been the subject of little study. However, it is the most numerous of Hawaii's endangered wetland birds. Key wetland areas have now been acquired for the species, and the coot is federally listed as endangered and classified as vulnerable by BirdLife International.

NEW YORK, NY - History has been made on Wall Street.
The Dow topped the 16,000 mark for the first time ever Monday. Not to be outdone, the S&P 500 also reached a new high - surpassing 1,800.
Both indexes are up more than 20% this year. Experts credit the gains to the Federal Reserve's stimulus policies and decent corporate earnings.

15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.8 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.

The Prospectus (Appendix B) describes the topic, audience, intended use, and questions to be addressed by SAP 1.3, as summarized here:
This proposed CCSP report will be in the form of a synthesis and assessment product that (a) summarizes the present status of national and international climate reanalysis efforts, and (b) discusses key research findings on the strengths and limitations of the current reanalysis products for describing and analyzing the causes of climate variations and trends that have occurred during the time period of the reanalysis records (roughly the past half-century). The proposed report will describe how reanalysis products have been used in documenting, integrating, and advancing our knowledge of climate system behavior, as well as in ascertaining significant remaining uncertainties in descriptions and physical understanding of the climate system.
By identifying key limitations of the current generation of reanalyses, the report will be useful to policymakers in identifying and understanding the causes for remaining uncertainties, and for climate program managers in developing priorities for future observing, modeling, and analysis systems required to advance national and international efforts to describe and attribute causes of observed climate variations and change. The assessment of the capabilities and limitations of current reanalysis products for different applications will also be of value to users of reanalysis products.
The assessment of present uses and limitation of reanalysis products for attribution of causes of observed climate variations and trends will provide a basis for decision makers and policymakers to understand the present level of confidence and uncertainties in describing how the climate system has varied in the recent historical past, and how this has enabled, and in some cases limited, our ability to identify the causes of such variations. The report will also provide useful information to help the scientific community and public to understand the causes of past climate variations, especially for those events that have high societal, economic, or environmental impacts, such as large and prolonged droughts.
According to the guidance provided in the prospectus, SAP 1.3 is to be written in a style consistent with major international scientific assessments. To address these purposes and audiences, SAP 1.3 was given 10 key questions to address (see Box 1). In a review of the U.S. CCSP Strategic Plan, the National Research Council (NRC) recommended that synthesis and assessment products should be produced with independent oversight and review from the wider scientific and stakeholder communities (NRC, 2004). To meet this goal, NOAA has requested an independent review of SAP 1.3 by the NRC. The NRC appointed an ad hoc committee composed of 7 members (Appendix C). The committee's Statement of Task is included in Appendix D.
The committee conducted its work by first carefully reading the draft SAP 1.3 report "Re-analyses of Historical Climate Data for Key Atmospheric Features: Implications for Attribution of Causes of Observed Change" (draft dated August 20, 2007). The committee then met with the lead authors to ask questions about the authoring team's research and formulation of the draft document. During this meeting, the committee also interacted with NOAA personnel, who outlined for the committee

I will always keep you smiling
I would describe myself as a pretty laid back guy and my buddies say Im pretty witty. I always try to look at things from the poitive side. I enjoy to make people laugh and if it means making myself look like an idiot to make someone else laugh.......then here I go. In my free time I like to play alot of sports like soccer, golf, basketball, football and volleyball in the summer. I try to stay active and hit the gym about 5 days a week and i try to run about 2 miles every other day. I would like to meet someone that enjoys alot of the same things i do so we could do stuff together. Im a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and I go to at least one game a year. I have my game room decorated with all of my Cowboys autographs and posters. If I were to meet someone on here I would like to take them wine tasting b/c i dont know anything about wine, but i do want to learn. If they happen to know a little about wine, we would still go wine tasting. I am very proud of my daughter and how she handles our situation. There are times where I feel like she may be embarrassed b/c I'm her mom and dad but she handles everything like a champ. Its kinda tough raising a girl but she helps me out sooo much and she teaches me alot. Since its just my daughter and I its difficult to afford everything w/ just my income, so I started a small lawn business last year and it worked out great. The lawn service helps me pay for her batting, catching, and basketball lessons. Its not too bad right now but it the summer it gets a little rough. But its all worth it, all the work I put in all pays off when I see her on court or on the fields kicking butt. Well if you wanna know more all you have to do is ask, thanks for reading.

LOS ANGELES — Garth Brooks isn't ready to talk specifics about his looming comeback, but there should be more than enough music this week to sate the country superstar's fans for a while.
Brooks is set to release a new eight-disc box set Thursday, then will broadcast his Las Vegas show live on CBS on Friday night. Both are an examination of the Oklahoma singer's musical roots with covers of songs that have influenced him.
Brooks was in Los Angeles on Tuesday to talk about both projects, and admitted he was worried about giving fans a little too much Garth.
The 51-year-old said he and wife Trisha Yearwood and his children will push Thanksgiving to Saturday "which means I might have an ice cube (on Thursday)," he said, chuckling. "Dude, when you're 260 (pounds) you're always watching your weight and, for some reason, you think you're going to make a difference the day before by not eating."
The two-hour "Garth Brooks, Live from Las Vegas" will emulate the mostly solo show Brooks played during a three-year run at the Wynn Las Vegas.
The new box set will reflect that show. Titled "Blame It All On My Roots," the box contains four new studio albums featuring Brooks' cover versions of recordings that shaped him as an artist — revealing an array of influences including George Jones, Gladys Knight and the Pips and Bob Seger.
The box also includes a rerelease of the 2007 two-disc compilation "The Ultimate Hits" with a bonus track called "Leave a Light On" and a DVD with a two-hour presentation of the one-man concert. The eighth disc includes Brooks' music videos.
It's priced at just $24.96, and can only be bought at Wal-Mart, its sister retailer Sam's Club and walmart.com. Brooks says his feelings about iTunes haven't changed, so he won't make the set available as a download or stream.
"So, until they change or I change," Brooks said, "or some other company comes and gives them some competition, then I don't think you're ever going to see us on iTunes."
Brooks said he isn't ready to talk the future beyond Friday yet.
The youngest of the three daughters of the superstar and his ex-wife, songwriter Sandy Mahl, is set to graduate high school next spring and then get ready for college. Brooks mostly retired in 2001 near the height of his popularity to be with his daughters.
"It says that Sandy, Trisha and myself did what we promised each other we would do," Brooks said, by putting the children first.
Soon it will be their turn, but Brooks spoke in generalities about what he and Yearwood will be doing with their free time.
"Me and Miss Yearwood are free to do whatever it is we want to do," Brooks said. "And I've got to tell you: Anything I do with that woman, I'm fine with. Any place that I am with that woman is home to me. But if I have my wishes, it's going to be filled with music, and it's going to be filled with music at a level I've never seen before."

I was reading your thread, PITA wiring check, 16" rear wheel check, swingarm bushings check, and I get down to your inspirations and there was my 79 XS650 Special II. Mine was the one with the yellow tank. It was a fun bike that I modified over several years. The goal was to make as light, and fun to ride as possible.
I used the wheels off of a xs650 standard to get my spoked rims in the sizes I wanted. Cost me about 50$ but took a little searching around to find. I had lots of homemade bits that looked fine from 20' away. I really wanted a brat style seat, and a 750 rephased motor with a Pamco, but it got to the point where I wanted to move onto something else so I sold it.
As part of the project, do yourself a favor and replace the clutch pullrod seal and the bushing as well as replace the 2 piece pushrod with a 1 piece from Mikes XS. It sucks to put all this work into a bike and have it start leaking incessantly.
I can't wait to see what you do with it. These are great old bikes because there is so much you can do with them.

Hi! I'm Dave from boyinaband.com
I was intending to make a track for you guys, but I had one of those weeks. You know, where you're sitting at your computer like
"Alright, time to finish off that Drum and Bass track"
and you get started, but then all of a sudden
"Na, that sounds crap"
"Yeah, you should stop doing that"
"But I really need to finish this, this is the third time this week you've said I should stop"
"Yeah but it's sounding crap"
"It won't sound any better unless I put in a bit more time into EQing the-"
"You know, you could be playing Sudoku right now"
"Are you listening to me?"
*pans out to Dave playing Sudoku* "Sorry what?"
Scumbag brain. Anyway, so instead, today I'm going to talk about something I come across a lot on the internet – the concept of REAL music or TRUE music. You know, from comments like this [show relevant comment]. Or this. Or this.
The basic idea being that if a genre evolves a bit, it is no longer worthy of that title, and as such it is no longer "real" [insert genre here]. So a metal song that has a trance synth in it? That's not REAL metal. A dubstep song that has extensive use of growly basses instead of deep wobble basses? That's not REAL dubstep. A classical piece that was written in 2012? That's not REAL classi- ok I guess that one is kinda true.
The point is to me, anyone that thinks like that is frickin' narrow-minded. I'd like to present to you my proof in the form of a hypothetical thought experiment I've devised called "The Davëdinger's Cat Theory"
1. So we've got these two dudes, both of which were educated in primary school that this is a cat.
2. They see this cat walking by and they'd be like "Oh, that's a cat, that is.", and the other would be like "Yeah, I agree with that statement."
3. 3 years later, they see the same cat walk by, but this time it has a hat on. One of the guys says "Oh look, that's a cat with a hat on it." and the other guy is like "SHUT UP, THAT IS NOT A CAT, IT'S SOME FAGGY GAY PIECE OF CRAP, HOW DARE YOU CALL THAT A CAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT REAL CATS ARE."
4. The second guy is an idiot, it's just a cat with a hat on it.
Whether the cat has a hat on it or not, it still has the basic features of a cat – 4 legs, a permanent dissatisfied/glazed expression, 140bpm tempo and half time beat with prevalent use of basses as the focal point.
I'm pretty sure I just forgot how metaphors work, but that's my first published theory so I'm sticking with it.
What it comes down to is people that are desperately trying to hold on to the point at which they discovered the genre, in the hopes it will never change. Which is so sad because if they weren't so closed-minded, they could appreciate the new interpretations in the manner they were intended. Or at least learn that they should shut up rather than making themselves look like idiots that don't even know a cat when they see it.
Genre names ARE useful, since it allows people to find the kind of music they like, but genres evolve over time. Which is a bloody good thing too, or we'd still be stuck in the 1800s writing baroque music and avoiding the diminished 5th because it's "The Devil's Chord"
Pfft, what did they know, anyway here's this new song I wrote called "Let's summon the Devil" (something with just diminished 5ths)
There is no "sacred"-ness about that or any other genre. If you have an issue with it, try championing one of the many other subgenre names that have popped up in front of the -step postfix that have a more specific definition suited to your tastes. Alternatively, try and appreciate more than one horrendously specific style of music and you'll discover that life is considerably more enjoyable.
What do you guys think about the whole genre-boundaries-being-pushed issue? I find it fascinating that people get more up in arms about their music tastes being questioned than their frickin' political ideologies, so yeah – let's get some healthy debate going on in the comments.
Hit like and favourite if this resonates with you, and subscribe for weekly boyinaband videos.
Cheers for watching and have a nice day!

9 Responses to "That's not "real" music."
I find it especially amusing/infuriating when the people complaining loudest have zero musical talent or abilities whatsoever. They believe being consumers of media makes them experts in it, as if it takes any kind of skill to listen to or appreciate music.
I don't deny anyone their own musical tastes; God knows I'm no fan of dubstep. But that doesn't mean I don't consider it music, nor do I take issue with other genres that may absorb some of it (or any other musical style) to push its boundaries.
People who turn their noses (and middle fingers) up at something different or something they don't like are by definition snobs, and although they are certainly entitled to their opinion, they're certainly not entitled to my respect.
I feel, as you seem to have summed-up quite succinctly Dave, those who adhere to their own narrow def's of what constitutes a particular musical genre limit only their own capability to appreciate the vast array of gr8 music available today. I also agree that some ideas of "categorization" and definition prove both necessary and helpful to an extent, though such parameters can only lead one so far. to adhere to them as gospel is both ridiculous and a reflection of the narrow-minded individual setting those limits. We'd all still be listening to baroque if it were up to the clowns who look at music as needing such silly restrictions. I appreciate that you were able to address this topic in a clear and thorough way.. nice goin' Dave.
hoh man… it's not really a comment but a conclusion : you're a nutcase :p
I like your music, screw the rest
Peace, brother. Some of my best friends wear hats.
I, too, own several, as does my cat. The cat (in a hat) agrees that music needs to evolve or die. Musicians are a tough bunch where "what I like is the only true music." Passion breeds strong opinions. …but there is even room for your "polka-dubstep". You got me working on my own version of that with a "stun small animals" accordian-bass drop. Cheers!
I think exactly the same as you ;D
Lol, your sooo funny man !
it's odd that you suggest departing from a genre's defining influences and aesthetics doesn't exclude it from that genre. of course metal with synths is metal. Have you ever heard the band Breaking Through? Dream Theater? two very different metal bands both featuring synths. But if the synth is playing cheesy euphoric trance lines, it isn't metal music. Not that it would upset me much that you or anyone else insists that it is, but it still wouldn't be, and i doubt i'd like it. dubstep has a dub influence, space, pace, and bass. If it has aggressive distorted synths as well as the aforementioned qualities, of course it's dubstep. But a track being in halftime and at 140 doesn't automatically make it dubstep. If it has no space, i.e. a completely filled spectrum, it lacks pace, it has no sub pressure, or no connection to dub or sound system culture whatsoever, it isn't. there's good and bad dubstep, there's good and bad non-dubstep. Embracing or rejecting a new sound isn't about calling something what it isn't. I'm confused because then you confirm that "classical" made at any point other than the 17-1800′s isn't "real" classical which is true, because it wasn't made in the classical era and even if it sounded identical to that music, it can't be classed as such. I don't understand why this is ok but retaining genre names for fused/significantly altered/otherwise bastardized forms of music is also perfectly fine. It seems you want to have your cake, and eat it too just on account of you don't want to contradict the western music history professor whose dick you sucked all through uni.
not all dubstep is halftime. A lot of dubstep is 2step, 4×4 or breaks. And even if you ignore your misstatement about halftime, 140bpm plus prevalent use of basses.. doesn't cut it . What you described is bassy 140 in halftime. Dubstep is space, pace, and bass at or around 140.
i don't need to hear how i'm not enjoying life because i don't listen to enough rave music. I appreciate all kinds of music. But your writing is fucking stupid. and why is it always about fucking cats. Get the fuck off reddit you knob.
Hey Dave. I love your stuff (that being your music and humor.) I noticed that when you were naming all of the prefixes to "Step," You put in: "Lump-Step." I don't know if you were joking or not, but I've been making music for a while and decided to make a "Lump-step" song. You can check it out at http://soundcloud.com/zzqqmmffbbgg/the-lump-zqmfbg-lump-step . I really think you might like it.

LAST TIME OUT: The ninth-ranked University of New Hampshire football team opened up the 2010 season in impressive fashion, dominating Central Connecticut State University, 33-3, before a crowd of 7,419 at Cowell Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 4. Senior Terrance Fox set the tone by returning the game's opening kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown, and sophomore running back Dontra Peters rushed 19 times for a career-high 197 yards and two scores. UNH (1-0) jumped in front just 16 seconds into the game when Fox, making his first appearance since the 2008 season, registered the first kick-return score of his career. The two-point conversion attempt failed, and the Wildcats had a 6-0 lead. New Hampshire added another big play later in the first quarter when Peters burst through the line on a 4th-and-1 play, making the gamble pay off when he raced 47 yards for a touchdown. Sophomore kicker A.J. DeLago tacked on the extra point, capping an eight-play, 79-yard drive that gave the Wildcats a 13-0 lead with 8:07 remaining in the opening period. The lead increased to 19-0 with 10:22 remaining in the first half when Peters ran inside left tackle, going 15 yards for his second scoring run of the afternoon. The extra point went wide right. The scoring drive took seven plays and covered 53 yards in 3:11. The 'Cats moved in front, 26-0, with 6:23 left in the second quarter. Facing 3rd-and-goal from the three-yard line, senior quarterback R.J. Toman lobbed a scoring pass to junior tight end Chris Jeannot in the back of the end zone, and DeLago added the extra point to finish off the four-play, 30-yard drive. Central Connecticut State (0-1) got on the board when freshman kicker Steven Calitri (Gilman, Conn.) booted a 29-yard field goal on the final play of the first half, cutting New Hampshire's lead to 26-3. The only points scored in the second half came courtesy of UNH sophomore defensive lineman Randi Vines, who intercepted a pass from Blue Devils junior quarterback Gunnar Jespersen and took it back 30 yards for a pick-six with 12:50 left in the fourth quarter. An extra point by redshirt freshman kicker Mike MacArthur provided the final margin. Sophomore linebacker Matt Evans spearheaded the ferocious Wildcats' defensive effort with a game-high 14 tackles, including five solo stops and a half-sack. Senior safety John Greer added 10 tackles (five solo) and a sack. UNH held CCSU's vaunted ground attack to a grand total of 220 yards of offense and only 86 rushing yards on 39 carries (2.2 yards per carry).
SCOUTING THE PANTHERS : Pittsburgh, the preseason favorite to win the Big East conference championship, rallied from a 24-13 fourth-quarter deficit to tie the game at the end of regulation, but Utah scored on its first overtime possession to hand the No. 15 Panthers a 27-24 defeat in Salt Lake City on Sept. 2. Reigning Big East Offensive Player of the Year Dion Lewis ran 25 times for 75 yards and a touchdown to lead the Panthers' ground attack. QB Tino Sunseri was 16-28 for 184 yards and one touchdown, a 44-yard hookup with WR Jon Baldwin. Pitt's defense yielded 405 yards of offense to the Utes, who were able to convert 7 of 14 (50%) on third down opportunities.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Pitt is led by dynamic sophomore RB Dion Lewis, who rushed for 1,799 yards as a freshman last season, the fourth best single-season rushing performance in Big East history. Lewis ranked third nationally in FBS football (138.38 yds per game) as the top freshman rusher in the country. The 5-8, 195-lb tailback was honored as Big East Offensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year. Lewis rushed for 75 yards on 25 carries in the loss to the Utes, scoring a 3-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Sophomore quarterback Tino Sunseri, making his first career start, completed 16 of 28 passes for 184 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the season opener. Junior WR Jon Baldwin is Sunseri's top target. Baldwin was a first-team All-Big East performer after compiling 57 catches for 1,111 yards in 2009. Last week, he tied for the team lead with four grabs and led Panthers' receivers with 71 yards, including a 44-yard TD reception. On defense, 2009 co-Big East Defensive Player of the Year Greg Romeus and fellow senior Jabaal Sheard make up perhaps the best defensive bookends in the nation. Romeus amassed a team-high eight sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss last season, whle Sheard accounted for 10.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and a team-leading 12 hurries. Romeus was held to four tackles, and Sheard had five stops, in Pitt's overtime loss at Utah.

The last FBS team to prevail against the 'Cats was Central Michigan, 40-33, on Sept. 6, 2003.
FOX TROTS TO WEEKLY AWARD: – University of New Hampshire senior football player Terrance Fox has been named the Colonial Athletic Association Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 1, the league announced Monday. Fox, playing in his first game since the 2008 season, returned the opening kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown to spark the Wildcats' 33-3 triumph over Central Connecticut State on Saturday afternoon at Cowell Stadium. The 5-foot-8, 166-pound Piscataway, N.J., native added 42 yards on two punt returns and five yards rushing in the contest for a total of 138 all-purpose yards.
Fox's kick-return score was the first for UNH since Sean Jellison's 81-yard return at Towson on Oct. 3, 2009. The last Wildcat to win the CAA Special Teams Player of the Week award was kicker Tom Manning on Nov. 9, 2009, which was the last conference weekly award won by a member of the 'Cats.
BEST RUSHING PERFORMANCE SINCE 2001: In his first career start, sophomore running back Dontra Peters rushed 19 times for 197 yards and two TDs, all career highs, scoring on carries of 47 and 15 yards in the win over Central Connecticut State on Sept. 4. He added a personal-best 60-yard scamper later in the game. The 197 rushing yards were the most recorded by a Wildcat since Stephan Lewis rumbled for 258 yards versus UMass on Oct. 13, 2001.
ON THIS DATE: SEPTEMBER 11: UNH is 2-3 all-time playing on 9/11, inlcuding one of the biggest victories in school history in 2004. Facing their last Big East opponent prior to today, UNH shocked Rutgers, 35-24, with redshirt freshman quarterback Ricky Santos making the first start of his UNH career. Santos went on to become the most decorated QB in CAA history and is now playing for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. The last time UNH lost a game on this date came on 9/11/99, a 34-19 defeat at the hands of UMass that marked the first loss in Coach Sean McDonnell's head-coaching career, one week after he posted a win at Rhode Island in his debut. UNH has never played at home on this date.

LONGEST HOME WINNING STREAK IN 79 YEARS: Last week's 33-3 triumph over Central Connecticut State increased UNH'S home-winning streak to 10 games dating back to Oct. 25, 2008. The 10 consecutive home victories are the most in the Sean McDonnell era. UNH posted nine straight home wins between Oct. 23, 2004-Nov. 26, 2005. The 'Cats last loss at home came Oct. 11, 2008, to Wiliam & Mary, 38-34. The last time New Hampshire recorded at least 10 straight home wins was Oct. 5, 1929-Nov. 14, 1931, when the 'Cats recorded 11 straight victories at home. That 11-game home winning streak was acutally a 13-game unbeaten string, sandwiched by a pair of ties.
BIG EAST BEATERS: UNH has won its last five games against current members of the Big East Conference. The Wildcats knocked off Rutgers, 35-24, six years ago today for their first-ever victory over a FBS foe. Prior to that, the Wildcats defeated the UConn Huskies four straight years (1996-99) when the two were rivals in the Yankee Conference/Atlantic-10.

Health Care Reform = More Money, Bigger Hospitals, and Less Private Practices
For a while, conservatives have known that Obamacare would be a dose of bad medicine. : However, given the axiom that bog government helps big business, the same could be true with the medical industry. : Tim Carney at The Washington Examiner aptly pointed out today, from Bloomberg, Obamacare favors big hospitals, and smashes small practices.
In his column, Carney: wrote: that "Bloomberg report[ed] today: on how Medicare payment rules have led to hospital consolidation, with small practices selling out to big hospitals." : Additionally, Carney cited the point about consolidation:
Simon Gisby, a principal in the life science and health care practice at Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC in: New York, said the trend fits with changes starting to take place under the 2010 Affordable Care Act designed by the Obama administration to overhaul health care.
This consolidation means higher costs, the article explains. Some academic studies have confirmed that hospital consolidation means higher costs, and: at least one: has pinned some of the blame on Obama's Affordable Care Act:
hospitals are able to extract higher private payments when they hold more market power…. Now provisions of the ACA are encouraging further consolidation of hospitals and physicians, and the final antitrust review regulations from the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission have eliminated the proposed mandatory review of certain prospective ACOs.
So, at the end of the day, it's business as usual — with a splash of dependency. : Big government helping big business gain more power at the expense of the taxpayers. : Can we all agree that this overhaul of American health care was never meant to curb costs?

White supremacists Unleash Hate Crime Backlash Against Minorities in California's Inland Empire
As minorities move into the region known as the Inland Empire, white supremacists unleash a hate crime backlash.
By David Holthouse
CHINO HILLS, Calif. -- Despite all their big talk of honor, pride and the Aryan warrior's code, neo-Nazi Skinheads don't like a fair fight. Cowards by nature, they prefer to travel in packs and gang up on hate crime victims. The trio of Nazi skins laying in wait near a playground in a park here the morning of May 1 proved no different.
Around 11 a.m. that Sunday, a 21-year-old black man from the nearby city of Diamond Bar arrived at the park with a group of foster children from a group home where the man volunteered as an activities coordinator. He'd brought the kids to play basketball. As the players divided into teams, according to witnesses and police reports, the Skinheads swaggered over. They called the foster home worker a "nigger." They told him he'd made a big mistake by showing up in their park that morning with a bunch of mongrel brats.
The subject of their taunts and threats hastily tried to gather his charges to leave, but the Skinheads surrounded him and then attacked. They thought the odds were three to one. But they were wrong. Several of the kids jumped into the fray. Seconds later, two more adult employees of the group home arrived in a separate vehicle and heard the intended victim yelling for help. They also joined the combat. The Skinheads suddenly found themselves badly outnumbered in a fight they'd started.
One of them ran for their car, jumped in, gunned the engine, and promptly crashed into a park bench, then a metal exercise station, then a concrete barrier, and then, at last, a tree. Unfortunately, the damage did not disable the vehicle, and the Nazi at the wheel was able to throw it in reverse then roar across a field and toward the cluster of kids and adults from the group home, who by then had beaten one of the remaining Skinheads to the ground and were physically restraining the other while they waited for the police to arrive (several bystanders had called 911 on mobile phones).
The first officers on the scene found the enraged driver of the battered car wheeling erratically around the park, chasing the kids and group home workers in a deadly game of tag. They immediately blocked his vehicle with their own and arrested him for attempted murder. The other two Skinheads were taken into custody on charges of aggravated assault (one of them escaped from a local hospital that night after being treated for his injuries). A spokesman for the Chino Hills Sheriff's Department described the 20-year-old Skinhead driver as "a known white supremacist" who had previously been arrested for several racially motivated attacks in San Bernardino County. "He places himself in places where minorities will be and makes slurs," the spokesman said. Police found neo-Nazi pamphlets, stickers, and patches inside his car.
The attack in Chino Hills, a suburban city with about 70,000 residents, was no isolated incident. It occurred in the heart of the Inland Empire, a booming region of Southern California where tract homes are cheap, the air is filthy, and white power violence is on the rise.
The New Minority
Made up of an area stretching from western Riverside County to the southwest corner of San Bernardino County, the Inland Empire used to be a sparsely populated, rural area of ranches, vineyards and farms, where whites were the clear and dominant majority.
All that has changed.
Driven from Los Angeles and San Diego by soaring housing prices, middle- and working-class black, Hispanic and Asian families have migrated to the Inland Empire in massive numbers, drawn by a surplus of comparatively affordable, big homes in sprawling, suburban-style developments. The rolling, high-desert terrain of the Inland Empire is now studded with more than 50 small to mid-sized cities containing a combined population of roughly 3 million. This continuing exodus inland from Southern California's expensive coastal cities has fueled large-scale residential, commercial and industrial development in the region. Horse pastures and orange groves have been paved over for strip malls and chain restaurants. Simultaneously, the Inland Empire has experienced rapid demographic shifts as more and more minorities move into a region that has long been a hotbed of white supremacist activity. Between 1990 and 2000, the Inland Empire's white population increased only 7%, while the number of blacks grew 61%, Asians 62% and Latinos 82%.
Whites are now a minority in the Inland Empire.
These seismic changes in the region's racial make-up have corresponded with a steady rise in hate crimes, including a particularly vicious spike in racially motivated violence and harassment in the past two years. During that period, as hate crimes dropped 10% statewide in California, the number of reported hate crimes in the Inland Empire shot up 20%. Last year, there were 148 hate crimes reported in the Inland Empire, most of them committed by racist Skinheads and other white supremacists.
This year, this disturbing trend has shown no signs of abating.
In January, in just one example, a gang of 10 neo-Nazi Skinheads attacked three Hispanic men outside a topless bar in Redlands, yelling racial slurs while they knocked the men to the ground then kicked them mercilessly. One of the victims suffered a broken arm. All three were hospitalized.
"The unfortunate reality is that the Inland Empire is California's own northern Idaho," said John Ruiz, assistant Riverside County district attorney, who has successfully prosecuted several high-profile hate crimes, including one in 2002 when he sent five members of the neo-Nazi Western Hammerskins to prison for stomping a black man with combat boots and cutting him with razor blades. With that case, Ruiz basically ran the Hammerskins out of town. The gang subsequently moved its base of operations to Mesa, Ariz.
"A lot of people are moving out here, and some of them don't like rubbing elbows with ethnic minorities," Ruiz said. "It's a small but very vocal segment of our society."
And, too often, a very violent one.

Tesco needs to douse horse meat story to escape brand hit
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 02:29PM
Tesco will be able to ride out this horse meat crisis, just as long as its an isolated incident and the retailer is able to communicate its response quickly, according to marketing experts.
The retailer has been forced to withdraw a number of beef burgers from its shelves after tests showed samples contained horse DNA.
The withdrawal is likely to cause some harm to the Tesco brand in the short-time, although some experts believe it is unlikely to be long-lived.
Tesco today responded to the crisis with a statement, saying it "will not tolerate any compromise in the quality of the food we sell."
It is unclear at this stage if Tesco will take further action, such as running ads clarifying the situation. Here two experts give their verdict on the fallout of the incident and how Tesco is best handling it.
Tim Hill, development director, The Brand Union
"What a shame for Tesco, Aldi and Iceland to suffer the scandal of finding traces of horse meat in their beef burgers. If only their buyer and product marketing teams had better planned. Perhaps it missed the opportunity to build the horse meat burger, after all it's one of the most nutritious meats on the planet.
"In all seriousness however, will this latest scandal affect the Tesco brand and turn off consumers from shopping at their stores? In isolation no - their in-house crisis management team are already in overdrive and it's unlikely the story on its own won't linger too long in consumer's minds. However, the danger will be if this story unearths further tales of poor hygiene standards and a lack of quality control.
"For Tesco's stake, this has to be an isolated incident otherwise it could be a label that will take a long time to shake. Just look at the years McDonalds has spent on trying to dispel the myths around the quality of its own burgers.
Justin Basini, an ex-Capital One marketing director and founder of Allow, a service which helps consumers gain control of their personal information
"There is no category of product that relies more heavily on trust than what we put in our mouths. However the major trust impact will be felt in the generic burger product category rather than at the retail brand level.
"Will you ever go to that barbeque again without a passing thought to the mix of meat you are consuming? The lingering aftermath for Tesco, Aldi and the other retailers will be determined by how they respond now. You can bet your bottom dollar that processed foods from many categories are now in labs being tested for cross contamination.
"Without an effective programme of investigation, communication and resolution the problem will spiral out of control allowing lobby groups from organic producers to Muslims to expose further problems, stoke the issue with the media and aggressively demand knee jerk change all of which will cement mistrust in these brands."
