Has anyone noticed the start Justin Reed is off to in Sarasota? Through 64 atbats, Reed is hitting .297/.430/.469 - .899. He's walked 14 times compared to 15 strikeouts and he has stolen 5 bases. He's always had a load of talent -Baseball America compared him to Tim Raines and Matt Lawton out of high school. He had scholarships offers to play college football, including one from Ole Miss, so he's a great athlete. Though it's early, it appears he is starting to translate those tools into production.
It may seem like Reed has been around forever, but he's only 21 years old and doesn't turn 22 until the end of November. He's worth keeping an eye on, IMO.
Doug had a nice writeup on him today on his website:

BOSTON -- Mike Napoli? Jonny Gomes? David Ross?
Make way for Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Johnny Pesky, Bobby Doerr and Dom DiMaggio.
Fans arriving at Fenway Park for Game 1 of the World Series were surprised -- and delighted -- to see the Red Sox legends join in the bearded phenomenon.
The players depicted in the three statues outside Gate B behind right field -- Williams with a young child, Yastrzemski waving to the crowd, and the four teammates (Williams, Pesky, Doerr and DiMaggio) -- all were adorned with large red beards, an homage to their hirsute 2013 successors. Their way, you might say, of expressing their solidarity with the current Sox as they prepare to face the Cardinals . . . fitting, since all of them lost a World Series to the Cards (Yaz in 1967, the others in 1946).

Although remote starting systems for cars usually have a limited line-of-sight range, Viper says its system has "virtually unlimited range" since your iPhone, not the original remote, communicates over cell networks with your car.
"We think customers will find all sorts of unique and personal value in Viper SmartStart," Mike Simmons, EVP of Directed Electronics' parent company, DEI Holdings, said in a statement. "Whether helping out her husband, who's locked his keys in the car, or securely locking her keys and purse in the car while she takes a jog with some music on her iPhone, we expect to hear about some uses we never anticipated."
Once the Viper SmartStart hardware is professionally installed in the car, the iPhone can also be used to defrost windows, cool down the vehicle in warmer weather, unlock the trunk or activate a panic alarm.
But though the app is free, the hardware that will actually make it work with your car is quite pricey.
The system will only work if paired with one of two Viper SmartStart systems that go for $499 (for those who don't already have a remote start system) and $299 (for those who do have remote start). The first year of service is free but, subsequently, service is $29.99 a year.
Sleaze ball or sweetheart? An iPhone app claims it can help singles tell the difference.
Launched by information commerce firm Intelius, Date Check lets users perform instant background checks on potential dates from their mobile phones.
Once it's downloaded on an iPhone, the application only needs a name or cell phone number to search publicly available records.
If you activate the app's Sleaze Detector, it scans criminal records to determine if anyone with that name has been charged with drug possession, assault and battery, sex crimes, DUI and other offenses.
If you click Net Worth, it looks for information about home ownership and property value.
It can also check social networking sites, such as LinkedIn to provide employment and education information.
"Date Check is like having a private investigator in your purse," John Arnold, co-founder of Intelius and executive vice president of business development, said in a statement. "Letting a stranger into your life is a huge risk, and in the age of Internet anonymity, a simple online search isn't enough to tell you everything you need to know. "
This application, the company said, "gives singles a safer way to mingle."
But though the app itself is free, the services can cost up to $40, depending on the kind of searches that are selected.
Date Check is available for download in Apple's App store and will be available soon in Android and BlackBerry versions.

As long as you have this iPhone app by your side, you'll know when you can escape to the bathroom without missing the best parts.
RunPee (yes, really) promises to be the small-bladdered moviegoer's best friend.
The application features all the movies currently playing in theaters and tells users approximately how far into the movie each "pee time" begins, the cue line to listen for and even what they've missed.

Depp and Jung recently got together to reminisce and catch up.
George Jung wrote a sequel to Blow while he was in jail called Heavy, which was released on Kindle in September. I wonder if they discussed making it into a movie.

Three new narco dramas begin airing in January. They look promising, although I've learned over the past two years that not every series can be an El Capo, La Reina del Sur, Senor de los Cielos or Pablo Escobar: Patron de Mal.
Duenos del Para�so , on Telemundo, has Kate Castillo of La Reina del Sur as the lead star. An abbreviated 34 minute version of the first episode with English subtitles is available free on Xfinity on Demand. It looks like a winner. It was non-stop action with a myriad of plots. It takes place in the 70's in Mexico and Miami.
The second is a Colombian show by Caracol, airing on Unimas, Tiro de Gracia ("Shot of Grace") starring Robinson Diaz, who was one of the best characters in Senor de los Cielos. He plays two roles, an actor forced to have plastic surgery and become the double for a cartel leader, and the cartel leader. [More...]

Sony has changed its position and will offer screenings of "The Interview" after all on Christmas Day. It won't be in a huge number of theaters, maybe 200 to 300 around the country.
Here's Sony's tweet making the announcement.

R.I.P., Joe Cocker. He has died of lung cancer at age 70. He moved to Crawford, Colorado (in Delta County) in the mid-1990's where he and his wife Pam built the Mad Dog Ranch.
Cocker lived with his wife, Pam, on a 240-plus-acre plot he called "Mad Dog Ranch," named after his 1970 "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" tour, where they moved in 1995 from California. The 17,000-square-foot home they built was host to personal concerts and a garden where, in a juxtaposition to the hard-partying, drug-using reputation he held in the 1970s, the rocker tended to his tomatoes.
In Crawford, a town of less than 400 about 50 miles southeast of Grand Junction, Cocker became a well-known and well-liked member of the community, separated from his days connected to the Rock and Roll greats of which he belonged.
Here's a profile of his non-rock star life there (from the Denver Post in 2008.) [More...]

President Obama said today that Sony made a mistake in deciding to cancel "The Interview."
That's not who we are. That's not what America's about....We cannot have a society in which some dictator some place can start imposing censorship here in the United States...
...Because if somebody is able to intimidate folks out of releasing a satirical movie, imagine what they do when they start seeing a documentary they don't like, or news reports they don't like. Or even worse, imagine if producers or distributors and others start engaging in self-censorship because they don't want to offend the sensibilities of someone whose sensibilities probably need to be offended.
...The company shouldn't have been deterred from releasing its movie "any more than we stop going to a football game because there might be the possibility of a terrorist attack, any more than Boston didn't run its marathon this year because of the possibility that somebody might try to cause harm."
Obama said he wished Sony called him before making the decision. Good to know that Sony can just pick up a phone and get put through to the President. Can any other corporations do that?

Following threats by hackers to launch attacks on theaters who show "The Interview", a comedy movie by Sony Pictures about a planned assassination attempt on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Sony announced yesterday it is canceling the release of the film. The announcement followed decisions by several movie chains not to show the movie. Sony has no plans to release the film in the future.
Some criticize Sony's cancellation saying they are giving in to cyberterrorists, and it's a slippery slope. Others say better safe than sorry.
According to Reuters, the U.S. believes North Korea, not keyboard terrorists sitting in their parents' basement, is behind the Sony hacks and threats.
Why didn't Sony just release it to cable "On Demand", Netflix, iTunes and Amazon?

Time Magazine released its list of the 8 finalists for Person of the Year today. Here's the list (not from Time, because it has an auto play video.) Pretty lackluster. There are some odd choices, like Taylor Swift. And redundant ones, like Vladimir Putin, who was chosen in 2007 and 2012.
It's not a popularity contest. Time writes:
TIME's choices for Person of the Year are often controversial. Editors are asked to choose the person or thing that had the greatest impact on the news, for good or ill — guidelines that leave them no choice but to select a newsworthy — not necessarily praiseworthy — cover subject.
Time named Adolph Hitler "Person of the Year" in 1938 and Joseph Stalin twice, in 1939 and 1942. In 1979, it was Ayatollah Khomeini.
Since groups of persons are now eligible, how did ISIS not make the list?

Borghi quits as Boca coach after River Plate loss
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - Claudio Borghi quit as Boca Juniors coach on Wednesday, a day after the team's 1-0 loss to bitter rival River Plate in the most highly anticipated match of the season in Argentine football.
Borghi said he was leaving because of poor results and because the team never developed a clear style of play. He was also largely without top playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme, who underwent left knee surgery in May. Riquelme, a former Barcelona star, has played only two matches since then. He started on Tuesday but went off after 45 minutes with a right foot injury.
"There are things we did badly," Borghi said. "After seeing the game yesterday, I realized that perhaps a coaching change would give the team a new life."
Borghi's departure adds to the chaos at Boca Juniors, which was the dominant club in South America between 2000 and 2008, when it won four Copa Libertadores titles. Boca won in 2000, '01, '03 and '07.
In May, Borghi became Boca's fourth coach in four months, following Alfio Basile, Abel Alves and Roberto Pompei. The favorite to replace Borghi is reported to be Banfield coach Julio Cesar Falconi. Club president Jorge Ameal said Pompei would fill in again until the Apertura season ends in December.
"We're going to take the time needed to sign a coach," Ameal said. "We need a permanent coach."
Borghi, who led Argentinos Juniors to the Clausura title in May, is a top candidate for the Chile national team job with Marcelo Bielsa stepping down.
"I've heard nothing from them," said Borghi, who was a successful coach with Chilean club Colo Colo.
Boca Juniors and River Plate are Argentina's two most popular clubs, but neither has won a league title since 2008 and both are struggling again this season. The clubs carry a stature in Argentina similar to Real Madrid or Barcelona in Spain, and their fall has been humiliating.
Boca has 17 points from 14 games and is 15th in the 20-team league. River has 21, but is in danger of being relegated. In Argentina, the drop is decided on results over three seasons.
Angel Cappa resigned last week as River Plate coach after the club's seventh straight winless match. He was the team's third coach in 13 months.

KLR650 Engine Rebuild Photos and Questions!
View Single Post
Joined: Mar 2011
Location: Salt Lake City, UT
Oddometer: 63
Day 5 of the Rebuild!
Continuing on with the build journal.
First order of the day was to start taking care of some cleaning. The rat's nest below the starter was not kosher.
Definitely seems like some oil has been leaking from here.
Nothing some wire brushes and kerosine can't take care of.
Starting to look much better!
After cleaning, it was time to work on the left side of the engine and take care of replacing the doohickey, which I believe is really called the engine balancer chain tensioner.
To fully remove the left side engine cover, the wires from the stator needed to be unplugged.
They went in here.
Next was the specialty holder so that the crank rotor bolt could be removed.
All it took was my breaker bar and an extension from my car jack. It seemed like it was over torqued, even for 130ft/lbs.
I definitely put the key and rotor spacers in a bag for safe keeping. It seems like they would be prone to getting lost.
Here's the stock doohickey and spring exposed.
At this point, I decided to take a quick break to organize my workshop table. I also had a friend over helping. He did a pretty nice job giving the exhaust header a couple of quick coats of ceramic exhaust paint.
Annnd… back to working on the doohickey.
Next step for me was to start taking off the inner cover for easier access.
The furthest left bolt is shorter. This one is the bolt that goes inside the case.
Inner cover is off!

The SEC's probe of Ebix's (EBIX -5.6%) accounting has been "upgraded to a formal investigation," Bloomberg reports. That has led shares of the insurance software firm to tumble to $19.44, 2.8% below Goldman's $20/share buyout price. Bloomberg originally reported of an SEC probe back in Nov.; CEO Robin Raina responded by calling the report "inaccurate and misleading." SA contributor Gotham City Research has been quite critical of Ebix's accounting (also to Raina's displeasure). [View news story]May 2, 2013. 10:43 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
Which call options are attractive now? I have read all about EBIX that there is to know and I want to which month's call options are priced reasonably for a good return.

Mr. Daniel Yu,
You said:
"Not only were Raina's responses inaccurate, misleading, and/or irrelevant, he completely ignored some of the more serious concerns from our original report4:
Ebix's core business is deteriorating and its balance sheet is weak.
The company's stated tax strategy is a sham, as it is supported by transactions that served no economic purpose other than to minimize taxes.
The Robin Raina Foundation's IRS form 990 returns are full of material accounting irregularities."
A rebuttal for each point you mentioned above:
1) Shouldn't the CEO be concentrating on improving the business rather than worrying about idiotic reports like yours.
2) Isn't tax minimization a strategy and when it is available, why not use it to make more profits. There is nothing illegal about using tax minimization strategies. Don't all companies do that?
3) Why do you care about Mr. Raina's charitable foundation. That is his money and he can do whatever he likes. Please talk about business only and stop blabbering about his charitable foundation.Mar 7, 2013. 10:53 AM | 13 Likes |Link to Comment

Rick Ray and the Bulldogs were excited to get workouts started this summer under the new NCAA rules that allow a more hands-on approach during the offseason.
However, Tuesday that excitement was tempered with the injury to Jacoby Davis.
The Starkville 8-year-old baseball All-Stars had a long and successful summer.
Starkville ended the season with a 19-9 record.
It is 39 days from today when the Mississippi State Bulldogs don the pads to open the college football season against Jackson State.
There's excitement among MSU fans and coach Dan Mullen knows his team is close to taking the next step toward winning a championship.
The main message Mississippi State's football contingent gave reporters at Southeastern Conference Media Days this week was it was disappointed with the way last season went and want to do something about it.
It wasn't bad for the Bulldogs last year. They finished with seven wins, including a victory over Wake Forest in the Music City Bowl.
Mississippi State picked up its 12th football commitment to the class of 2013 Saturday when McAdory, Ala. athlete Dezmond Harris committed to coach Dan Mullen.
"I am just relieved to be a Bulldog," said Harris.  "I am very happy and so was my family. The coaches welcomed me to the family and were very happy. I wanted to be a Bulldog."
Mississippi State hosted over 100 of the top athletes across the Southeast on Friday night for the annual Big Dawg Camp.Â
Seven of MSU's 11 commitments were on hand to showcase their talents and while most performed at a high level, B.J. Hammond definitely stood out. The 6-4 receiver from Gadsden, Ala., ran solid routes and seemed to get to find the football with ease.Â
The fact that Mississippi State defensive back and former East Webster player Johnthan Banks received additional All-Southeastern Conference recognition on Thursday at SEC Media Days was nothing new.
Banks had already been selected All-SEC by the league's coaches, Phil Steele, Athlon, Blue Ribbon College Football, Football Yearbook, Birmingham News, Lindys and USA Today.
The Starkville 8-year-old All Stars are coming into the Dizzy Dean World Series with a lot of confidence.
The All-Stars face off against Bradley (Tenn.) North Heat today at 1 p.m. at Snowden Grove Park in Southaven.
Starkville is coming off a good showing in the state tournament and coach Tom McReynolds hopes that carries over.
HOOVER, Ala. – Johnthan Banks didn't spent Southeastern Conference Media Days talking about himself.
The former East Webster High School player who has developed into an All-SEC defensive back at Mississippi State decided to promote his teammates more than himself at the Wynfrey Hotel on Wednesday.
HOOVER, Ala. – Mississippi State fans have long waited for the day when their beloved Bulldogs displayed a high-flying, high-octane offense.
When quarterback Tyler Russell signed with Mississippi State, that fire was stoked giving way to the anticipation of when the Meridian native would lead the offense.

Drew Brees and Peyton Manning have a lot in common: both have set various NFL records, are destined for a first-ballot trip into the Hall of Fame, and lucratively set themselves up for life after football. Whereas Brees latched on to Jimmy, however, Peyton linked up with the Papa. The Associated Press reports that Manning is the new owner of 21 Papa John's pizza stores in the Denver area, signing a deal with the official pizza sponsor of the NFL. ''He's the kind of partner we're looking for, not only in marketing but in business,'' said Papa John's chief marketing officer, Andrew Varga. Manning already has been connected to Papa John's -- we've all seen the (played-to-death) commercial featuring CEO John Schnatter -- and will star in a new ad during Sunday's game between the Broncos and Saints. In it, he will touch on the new venture, which obviously he's excited about. ''It's a smart investment now and will be long after I'm done playing football,'' Manning said.

This was our second time visiting this beautiful town and wonderful restaurant. We love the fish dishes the chef prepares. The food and atmosphere are beyond anywhere else!!! The husband and wife team are so friendly. Don't miss the restaurant if you visit Suvereto!!!!!
We enjoyed a 5 course evening menu, the best meal of our Italian trip. The restaurant specialises in fish, which is served in various styles and creations. We were there on a quiet evening and enjoyed the attentive and very personal service of the owner and his wife. Would highly recommend this place!
An excellent fish restaurant with an unusual twist, the chef decides what you eat based on what he selects from the daily catch at the nearby fish ports. It's a delight to eat without having to choose, you just put yourself in this wonderful chefs hands.
The great food and intriguing formulae is perfectly complemented by a very pleasant setting...
This is perhaps the definition of the perfect Italian restaurant. A menu does not really exist, the dishes depend upon the fish that are available that day. The dishes are then beautiful, complex but simple, wonderful. Why does it not have Michelin star? I am not sure what else it can do!

Charles Jenkins has made 10 consecutive free throws in Euroleague action.
In a back-and-forth battle that went down to the wire, Panathinaikos Athens edged Crvena Zvezda Telekom Belgrade 74-69 in the Greek capital on Friday. Panathinaikos stayed undefeated at home in Group E and improved to 5-2, while Zvezda dropped to 1-6. A.J. Slaughter paced the winners with 16 points. Esteban Batista added 13, James Gist had 12 while Dimitris Diamantidis tallied 11 points, 10 assists and 4 steals for Panathinaikos. Boban Marjanovic and Charles Jenkins led Zvezda with 17 points apiece. Marjanovic also collected 10 rebounds. Marcus Williams added 10 points for the guests. Panathinaikos had a great start on defense, holding Zvezda scoreless for five minutes, with Batista shutting down Marjanovic. Meanwhile, Slaughter and Gist paced the Greens throughout the first quarter and a triple by Diamantidis made it 26-6, after 10 minutes. Williams and Maik Zirbes fueled a 0-10 run that brought Zvezda back to life. A layup by Luka Mitrovic got the guests within 31-27, but Batista and DeMarcus Nelson extended Panathinaikos's margin to 37-29 at halftime. Zvezda finally got Marjanovic involved; he had 14 third-quarter points to bring his team within 52-51 late in the third quarter. A red-hot Jenkins and a jumper by Nikola Kalinic gave Zvezda a 60-65 lead midway through the fourth quarter. Diamantidis and Slaughter fueled a 10-0 run from which the Greens regained the lead, 70-65. Zvezda kept its chances alive until the final seconds, but Slaughter sealed the outcome with a fast break layup.
Both teams struggled to score early until Gist stepped up with a one-handed slam in transition and followed that with a close basket for a 4-0 lead. Zvezda was held scoreless for more than five minutes. After a three-pointer by Dimitris Diamantidis, the guests called timeout. A.J. Slaughter sank a four-meter jumper to cap a 9-0 run, before Luka Mitrovic finally got Zvezda going with a layup. Slaughter scored in penetration and a second-chance layup by Gist made it a double-digit game. Slaughter hit another triple and a layup by Batista made it 18-2. Charles Jenkins scored in penetration and a layup by Boban Marjanovic brought Zvezda within 12. Gist struck from downtown and collected a steal that allowed Slaughter to give the Greens a 23-6 margin. Diamantidis nailed another one from beyond the arc to give Panathinaikos a 26-6 advantage after 10 minutes.
Gist took over with a high-flying layup early in the quarter. Jenkins tried to change things with a driving basket, which Marko Tejic followed with a layup that made it 28-10. Jenkins shined with a power layup – and the free throw that came with it, but DeMarcus Nelson stepped up with a driving layup and Tejic got the guests closer, 30-14. Maik Zirbes showed good timing with a tip-in and Marcus Williams followed free throws with a three-pointer that brought Zvezda within 9. Panathinaikos could not find the way to the basket and a put-back basket by Tejic capped a 0-10 run. Batista split foul shots and a dunk by Zirbes made it 31-25. Batista and Luka Mitrovic exchanged close baskets and a coast-to-coast layup by Jaka Blazic got Zvezda even closer, 33-29. Another layup by Batista and a buzzer-beater jumper by Nelson gave Panathinaikos some fresh air, 37-29, at halftime.
Batista made free throws immediately after the break and soon added a close basket for a 41-29 Panathinaikos lead. Williams stepped up with a three-pointer, but Gist split foul shots and Vlantimir Giankovits struck from downtown, which caused the guests stop the game at 45-32. Mitrovic and Batista exchanged dunks and consecutive layups by Marjanovic brought Zvezda within 47-38. Mitrovic provided a highlight with an off-balance layup and Marjanovic dunked twice in traffic to make it a 3-point game. Panathinaikos called timeout, but a red-hot Marjanovic dunked again. Giankovits split free throws and Loukas Mavrokefalidis gave the Greens a 50-46 edge. Marjanovic had his fourth consecutive slam and erased Mavrokefalidis's driving layup with yet another dunk. He split free throws to fix the score at 52-51.
Tejic dunked to complete the guests' comeback, 52-53. Mavrokefalidis hit a one-handed floater in the paint, but Jenkins beat the shot clock with an acrobatic jumper. Nelson stepped up with a layup-plus-foul, but Jenkins insisted from downtown for a 57-58 Zvezda edge with over six minutes left. Antonis Fotsis joined the three-point shootout, however Branko Lazic answered with a layup and Jenkins added a wild three-point play for a 60-63 Zvezda lead. Nikola Kalinic swished a five-meter jumper for a 5-point edge. Slaughter came right back with a fast break layup. A three-pointer by Diamantidis tied the game and another one by Slaughter restored a 68-65 Panathinaikos lead. Diamantidis and Jenkins exchanged free throws and Giankovits gave the Greens a 72-67 edge with 59.4 seconds left. Williams hit foul shots, but missed a key shot from downtown that allowed Slaughter to seal the outcome with a fast break layup in the closing seconds.

LAST week bought a little extra time for the world's largest freshwater fish, the Mekong giant catfish, as a decision to build a giant dam on the Mekong river was deferred.
Officials from the four countries on the lower Mekong failed to agree on whether to approve the Xayaburi dam. Laos wants to build the dam on its stretch of the river and sell the electricity it generates, but Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam all have reservations. The matter could be settled at a meeting of a council of ministers in October, where Laos may find itself outvoted. Vietnam wants the dam delayed at least 10 years to give time for more research into its impacts.
WWF, one of 260 organisations opposing the dam, says that as well as the catfish, 230 fish species and the rivers they migrate along are at risk. It has calculated that smaller dams built on tributaries could generate an equal amount of electricity without the same impact on the environment.

CRC Press – 2011 – 936 pages
This fully revised fourth edition of Max Lay's well-established reference work covers all aspects of the technology of roads and road transport, and urban and rural road technology. It forms a comprehensive but accessible reference for all professionals and students interested in roads, road transport and the wide range of disciplines involved with roads.
International in scope, it begins with the preliminary construction procedures; from road planning policies and design considerations to the selection of materials and the building of roads and bridges. It then explores road operating environments that include driver behaviour, traffic flow, lighting and maintenance, and assesses the cost, economics, transport implications and environmental impact of road use.
It draws on Max Lay's unparalleled consulting and operational experience in the financing, planning, design, construction, operation and management of roads in various countries. It forms an indispensable resource for transport planning, engineering, operations and economics.
"Widely considered to be the single most comprehensive and informative road technology reference text."
- Highway Engineering in Australia
"A fully revised edition…"
- Transport and Road Update
"This handbook has its origins in Max Lay's work over many decades in Australia, but reflects a breadth of knowledge far beyond that continent. In that sense it is perhaps the most international in its coverage of practice of such works."

A look inside Wash. state's $33.6B budget plan
Lawmakers also save a lot of money by implementing President Barack Obama's health care law thanks to more federal money.
— NEW SPENDING: The budget includes a range of smaller items, creating new government entities or adding spending in new areas.
For example, the budget creates a Geoduck Harvest Safety Committee to submit recommendations that may establish a safety program for divers seeking the mollusks native to the Pacific Northwest. The total cost? $265,000. Another $500,000 is allocated to handle weed management and work on the eradication of noxious weeds.
The University of Washington will receive $7 million to create a Clean Energy Institute and a Center on Ocean Acidification in order to conduct research on their namesake issues. Such environmental matters have been a focus of Gov. Jay Inslee. Meanwhile, a Washington State University program will get $600,000 to conduct public outreach on non-lethal ways of limiting conflict between livestock and wild carnivores, and lawmakers spend another $2 million to purchase scientific equipment for Washington State University biomedical and health sciences building in Spokane.
Another $50,000 is provided to conduct a cost and impact study of Covington Town Center. That's the home city of House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan.
The governor's office would get a new director of military affairs, at a total cost of $300,000. The person would help the governor's office coordinate with state agencies and local communities on military issues. The state already has an adjutant general of the Military Department that oversees the National Guard and emergency response matters.

Life isn't fair. Some extremely smart people never make much money. Similarly, some rather stupid people seem to fall into it and make fortunes. Go figure. Then, there is Warren Buffett.
Warren is fond of playing the role of the "folksy" type who still lives in his modest house in nowhere Omaha and owns an old car he's had for years. Just plain folk, he'd have you believe. Well, DON'T believe it! This is the same Buffett who constantly travels by private jet; is chauffeured by limousines wherever he goes; regularly stays at 5-star hotels; invests in deals not available to any other investors. Yet, he'd have you believe he's just like you. Sure!
Lately, Warren has been a shill for Obama. Over and over again, we hear how good ole Warren "wants" to pay more taxes and thinks his wealthy buddies ought to follow suit. "We aren't taxed enough," he says. Well, let's take a closer look at just where Warren stands when it really comes down to paying his taxes. Not at what he says about taxes but what he has actually done regarding the paying of taxes that he legitimately owes.
There are two recent cases where Warren has done everything possible to AVOID paying taxes that he actually owes. The first case involved a 14-year fight over the dividend-received deduction that was finally settled with the IRS in 2005. The second case is still pending after 10 years in which he owes just over $1 BILLION in back taxes. Both of these cases are well-documented and you can satisfy yourself simply by using Google to inquire as to the voracity of these assertions. Also note the timeframes of 14-years and 10+-years; not exactly a haphazard hissy fit. While you're at it, you might also ask yourself "why" Warren says one thing in public discourse while he practices the exact opposite in his business and personal life. Is not that the definition of hypocrite?
Warren is NOT being chided here for attempting to pay as little in taxes as possible. Any sane person will pursue all legal avenues to pay as little tax as possible. In fact, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled thus: "Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes." Judge Learned Hand in 1934.
Then there is the recent deal involving the Bank of America "investment." Warren would have you believe he just stepped-in to help the BofA stave-off a potential financial problem; out of the goodness of his heart, of course. Could you be shocked to learn the truth behind this deal?
Buffett is now at the center of another tax controversy, according to The Wall Street Journal. His recent decision to invest in Bank of America "represents another tax-avoidance triumph for the Berkshire chief executive," the Journal wrote in an editorial.
US corporations are subject to a top federal income tax rate of 35 percent; the second highest in the world. But Berkshire won't pay anything close to that on their investment in BofA preferred shares. (Note "Preferred" shares to boot! That means preference ahead of common shareholders — translation: you and me).
"Berkshire will hold the [BofA] investment in a property-casualty insurance subsidiary. Such corporations can exclude from taxation 59.5% of the dividends they receive from an investment in another corporation," the Journal reported. "This exclusion is intended to prevent double- or even triple-taxation as money is earned by one company, paid to another company and then ultimately paid out to shareholders. The policy makes sense; we only wonder why the exclusion isn't 100%.
"With the exclusion for Mr. Buffett and his fellow shareholders, Berkshire will enjoy an effective tax rate of 14.175% on the $300 million in dividends it will receive each year from Bank of America," the Journal reported. [Remember, his secretary pays a higher tax rate?].
These new revelations about Buffett's tax practices have only furthered enraged conservatives at the hypocrisy being shown by the famed "Oracle of Omaha."
Please note that this article is NOT dissing Warren about using every available option to minimize taxes. That is the only sane approach any business man or individual would take. What is so objectionable is that he simultaneously pretends to be an Altruist "just looking out for the folks" while his personal behavior represents the exact opposite. Had you not just read this brief description of the BofA deal, would it even have occurred to you to question what might be behind the so-called benevolence of the Oracle of Omaha?
Writing in the conservative website Human Events, John Hayward states: "Warren Buffett is no different from the other liars and frauds orbiting Barack Obama. His hypocrisy just runs billions of dollars deeper. When it comes to 'shared sacrifice,' you do the sacrificing, and they do the sharing."
That sounds like a rather good summary of the Buffett hypocrisy.
Tex Norton,
for The Daily Reckoning
The Daily Reckoning occasionally features commentary from financial analysts, experts, gold bugs, economists and an array of contributors from various fields and occupations. Their diverse insights and contrarian investing ideas are hand selected by your Daily Reckoning editors.
And what happens when a nominee of a "nominees" company, which "nominees" company is a shareholder in an investment, sells his interest in the investment (through the "nominees" company), to another nominee of the same "nominees" company and the "nominees" company is situated in a tax haven? For the "nominees" company, there is no change as a shareholder in its interest as a shareholder in the investment!
If undisclosed for tax purposes by the seller of the interest, would that be tax avoidance or tax evasion?
The "invests in deals not available to any other investor" is what hits the nail on the head. I realized that all the rules of investing he talks about were just for people like him. He makes most of his money by investing in deals other people are not allowed to. That gives him rock bottom entry price. But when he sells, it's to the entire general market. His competition is restricted, but his customers are unlimited. Hell, my parrot would make money with priveleges like that. And with all his money and influence, does anyone really believe that he does not use it to get inside information from people in government? Or influence government officials to do things beneficial to him?
I greatly admire Buffet's financial
wizardry; but, why does Buffet, Bill
Gates, Eli Broad and a score of other
billionaires oppose quality education
for America's kids via taxpayer funded
vouchers?! They spent tens of millions
to defeat referenda in Washington State,
California, etc…to defeat this great
tool allowing kids to escape toxic
Government Public Schools.
Two things, first, Buffett worked the same rules as everyone else. Just because he advocates higher taxes for the wealthy, that doesn't mean he's stupid and can't leverage current tax laws to his advantage. He wants everyone to play by the same rules which he is doing. Second, Buffett didn't fly in a private jet and live in 5 star hotels .etc until much later in life. In fact, he's still a penny pinching person for the most part. When would you suggest he start spending his money, when he's dead?
How strange – this mr Buffet figure brings to memory mr Lay of Enron fame
who put it like "see, I was living the American dream"
I used to be a farmer but got fed up paying retail to big corporations for inputs, and selling outputs wholesale, often at cartel suppressed prices back to probably the same corporations. The market is the same, the traders are just getting greedier, it is like everything when the middleman has the power, they destroy the basic producer, look at nature, a sparrowhawk will come in and demolish the small bird population and move on, or preferably fly into a window and kill itself, but the that varied population takes years to return if ever, but that is a natural order of things.

Do you have a fallback, go-to recipe that gets you back on track?
I've had a few health issues recently, and am trying to build myself back up. My main concerns at the moment are rebuilding my immune system after taking immunosuppressants and antibiotics, and also replenishing my iron stores after a lot of blood loss.
I'm wondering if anyone has any vegan friendly ideas or recipes to share for some simple ways to get the most benefit out of what I put into my body at the moment. Like specific foods that should be eaten or juiced together? Iron and vitamin C, for example.
My go to healthy foods are always
-miso soup with as much seaweed as I can stand
-beet and kale salad. I cook a bunch of beets and store them in the fridge then sautee kale and garlic red onion and top with the cold beets and whatever veg I have on hand.
-raw nuts
imho there is no specific food that you 'should' eat to gain back your health.
what you need is a variety of food to gain back your health. because each food has its own nutrition and our bodies need a variety of nutrients. some in large quantities. some in teenie tiny quantities.
i mean yeah you could eat oranges for vitamin C, but it isnt just about eating. its about absorption too. if you arent eating the other foods around you, you may pop or drink lots of Vit C but all you will do is stress your kidneys out as you pass it all out through your kidneys.
today in the US more and more doctors are teaching people how to cook and eat.
go to all your food access areas and see what varieties they have. start small quantities. give yourself the goat that today you will eat 10 different veggies. try mixing in colour.
try eating local. a carrot picked yesterday that's on your plate has far more health benefits than the carrot that was picked two months ago and is now on your table. maybe even more, maybe even years.
however i have to say i dont know much about food access in australia.
summer is a wonderful time to eat a lot of raw food. salads, seeds, sprouts. so do a salad at every meal. that is of course if you can handle raw. and another something veggie. i love spending time to make a one pot meal that will last my family 3 days. i used beans and about 10 different kinds of veggies and leaves.
some simple ways of making veggies are roasting them or grilling them. or cooking a bunch of them (like we did this summer - green beans,
simple lentil soup. the orange kind that's ready in 15 minutes.
in a little oil throw in any seasoning and then throw in finely sliced potatoes, roughly chooped onions and whatever else veggie you want to put in there. then throw in the lentils cover with water and let it cook. in 5 mins add the stalks of the leaves you are going to add in. lentils take 15 minutes to cook. about 3 minutes before you finish add in the leaves and salt. and voila you have a healthy meal which has most of your food groups.
if you are cooking rice the last 5 minutes throw in some chopped veggies.

I've looked at the crime statistics for Davenport, and Clermont, and Kissimee and most
of the area around there and they rank a 7-8 out of 10 as far as crime goes, while the
national average is 4. Even the gated communities have had a crime on every other block in the last 2 months according to the crime map. I've lived in our home 40 years, with no
crime on our block. I'm afraid to rent a home there, and I hate how dirty some of the hotels are. ANY suggestions on a safe area where we can rent a pool home?

Is there a safe area around Kissimee to rent a house?
I've looked at the crime statistics for Davenport, and Clermont, and Kissimee and most
Report Abuse
What crime map are you looking at, and how do they keep their statistics?
We rented a house in Clermont one year, and it certainly didn't strike us as a hotbed of crime. Both the house and the gated community were lovely. I wouldn't be that surprised if the gated community rated a little higher than the national average for a community that upscale, due to the number of vacation homes, but it was not only clean and well kept, there were people sitting out on patios, walking dogs, kids waiting for school buses and riding bikes, none of which would suggest that the residents feel unsafe.
I have heard that when compiling crime rates, some municipalities will report ALL crimes, and others only certain, more serious crimes. I took a look on City-Data.com, which has actual statistics and it looks like Clermont is a little on the high side for a city that size, especially in property crimes. Without doing a lot more research than I feel I need to, I have always heard that the entire area around Disney tends to have a somewhat high crime rate, which wouldn't necessarily make a hotel safer.
Someone with more local knowledge might think one of these cities was a little better than another, but if you would rather have a house, rent a house and exercise reasonable caution.

If they count as "crime" damage done to rental houses by tenants - that could account for a very high "crime" rate - but I don;t think anyone else would consider it "crime".
If you are so concerned I would stay at an upscale hotel with high standards of cleanliness. (Houses that are rented to differnt groups of vacationers week after week are likely to have a number of issues with maintenance - and you seem very particular.)

Or on Disney property. Expensive, but very clean and very safe and very magical.
Report Abuse
I think it matters what the crimes on your crime map of Kissimmee are. But if none of the communities surrounding Disney satisfy your safety requirements--and you've listed them all--and if the hotels in your price range will be too dirty for you, I cant think of another option, I'm sorry to say. Visiting Disney and staying in the surrounding area are not known to be risky propositions, so I do think you're over-thinking this.
Report Abuse
The areas around Kissimmee are safe.
Report Abuse
Do you or your family stay out until the bars close?
Does any member of your family search for and buy drugs on the street?
Do you walk or jog in less traveled areas before sunrise or after 9 PM?
Do you wear expensive jewelry or watches in areas known for street crime?
Do you leave your purse or iPhone or iPad on the table or a chair in a restaurant?
Do you leave objects of value visible in your parked car?
If you answer "no" to these questions, you are unlikely to experience criminal activity. When you look at crime statistics in detail, this is when and how most property and personal crime takes place, whether in NYC, Memphis, or Kissimmee, FL.
Report Abuse
I cant believe some of the replies. I could pin point exactly the safer neighborhoods in my town.
We have been to Florida, and every time we go we get our credit card number stollen, and we end up having to cancel it and get a new one. It has never happened in any other state we've been in. There are many articles on how Florida has
a higher than average crime rate. I love Florida, but we are
grandparents, and we don't always feel as safe as we used to.
Being retirement age, we are on a budget, so I thought we could get some suggestions.
Report Abuse
Report Abuse
Now it's the entire state of Florida that's unsafe? OK, then, now that you are grandparents, vacation where you do feel safe. There are many beautiful areas of the country and the world, and no one is forcing you to visit Florida, where you have had so many negative experiences already.
Happy Florida Resident
Report Abuse
Having been to FL numerous times and never having any credit cards problems - I wonder why this is always happening to you.
Have you figured out where the card numbers are being stolen?
If I were you I would never let the card out of your sight.
As for crime - it can happen anywhere. I saw a woman's handbag stolen from an upscale cafe in extremely exclusive Greenwich CT. (Of course, it was her own fault, since she just left the bag hanging on the back of her chair in an outdoor section of the cafe.)
There is crime everywhere. But if it is continually happening to you - I would suggest you upgrade your level of awareness and care of your belongings.
Report Abuse
The greater Orlando area has one of the highest crime rates in all of Florida, and Orlando ranks high for crime in the U.S. Having said that, it's not exactly "unsafe". I'm sure there are areas you should avoid, but the touristy areas are not among them. Rather than looking at crime maps, I'd suggest you look at reviews of individual homes for rent. I think those will be more informative. And if you work with a reputable rental agency, you are less likely to be steered toward a high-crime area.
Report Abuse
And to follow on Doug's comments - I live in Clermont, and it's certainly one of the safer places in Central Florida - that's why we moved here from southern Orange county (just north of Kissimmee). Every city has areas with more or less crime. We don't even lock our doors (though I probably shouldn't have said that).
Kissimmee has grown from a sleepy little cowtown into a very touristy area. The crime rate there now is higher than I am comfortable with, for sure, and that is a shame. But it still doesn't compare to some other places I've been to.

Eliminate Bronzer by Enhancing Your Natural Glow
The Body Shop wants women to turn away from the bronzer and choose to achieve a natural glow with its diverse skincare ranges, designed to suit all skin types and to tackle a range of beauty problems.
The winter can be very harsh on skin and the temptation is to cover up with layers of woolies and make-up, only to find that, come spring your skin is tired, worn and dull-looking. The Body Shop is committed to helping women to make the most of their skin and enjoy a natural radiance by following a great beauty regime.
Transforming homes into a spa
With its new spa range, The Body Shop bodycare team has created a selection of uniquely luxurious and indulgent products to pamper the body and develop natural sparkle. The beauty routine starts with exfoliation.
The Moroccan Black Olive and Argan Oil Scrub taps into one of the UK's latest beauty crazes and is inspired by the traditional hammam bathing rituals of Morocco. Containing olive oil, this rich treatment blasts away dead skin cells and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. Follow this with showering, and the Body Shop's Shower Gel range comes in a great range of fragrances with which to naturally perfume the skin.
Moisturisers to keep skin in bloom all year round
The key to maintaining radiant skin, whatever the time of year, is undoubtedly a good moisturiser, and The Body Shop offers something for every skin type. Whether it's the richly indulgent hero product, Cocoa Butter Body Butter, or the zingy Pink Grapefruit Beautifying Oil, The Body Shop's moisturisers are created to put the 'treat' into 'treatment', naturally.
A 5-step beauty regime
As facial skincare specialists, The Body Shop knows it's essential to develop a bespoke 5-step regime to keep the face looking its best, and guard against premature ageing. Its many skincare ranges are designed to target specific skin problems, and the cleansers, toners, moisturizers and eye care products are essential for customers to make the most of their skin. Customers can pop into their local Body Shop store for a free consultation to choose the products to suit them.
'Beauty with Heart'
Whatever the product, The Body Shop's commitment to the environment and 'Beauty with Heart' philosophy means that customers can also be sure that products will have been made in a way that respects the environment, with absolutely no animal testing.

Social Physique Anxiety (SPA) is the self-consciousness about ones body in a social setting. Research on SPA as caused by the gym environment informed the design of Keelo, a system for educating and tracking the workout experience through an interface and updated equipment. The deliverable for this project is a standardized interface across selectorized weight machines. The more broad design goal is to lessen comparison and promote exercise motivated by health

For every pair of stylish shoes sold, TOMS donates a new pair of shoes to a child in need. TOMS Shoes 4th of July deals are dropping! Now is a great time to grab a great deal on a new pair of shoes for summer.
Find shoes with a social conscience at TOMS. The company is only five years old, but its shoes are already sold at surf shops, natural groceries, boutiques, and Nordstrom stores across the country – and TOMS has already given more than a million pairs of new shoes to disadvantaged kids through its One for One program.
The idea to give away a pair of shoes for each pair sold was the brainchild of founder Blake Mycoskie, who developed the idea after seeing shoeless poor children on a trip to Argentina. The company started out making simple slip-on Argentine-style flats, and now also makes boots and wedges. TOMS has also added fashion eyewear and donates vision care to a person in need with every purchase. (Learn more about "buy-one, give-one companies here:/guide/article/buyone-giveone-companies/.)
Look good and do good with TOMS Shoes coupon codes. You'll find cool styles for the whole family:
TOMS also sells logo tees, henleys, and hoodies. And a TOMS gift card makes a great gift that gives twice. Treat yourself and take care of needy kids with TOMS Shoes online coupons.

Gerald Green is known more for his acrobatic dunks than his actual on-court play, but the high-flying former Slam Dunk champion finally showed off some of his talent with the Nets last season. As a result, it looks like Green is in line to earn himself a deal with the Pacers. Indiana is expected to offer Green a three-year, $10 million contract, according to the Indianapolis Star's Mike Wells. Green, who won the NBA Slam Dunk competition in 2007, was drafted by the Celtics 18th overall in 2005. He was then traded to the Timberwolves as part of the deal...

Background: Pressure Points
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
TERENCE SMITH: CAMERA, an advocacy group which spotlights what it calls "anti-Israel bias" in the American media's reporting about the Middle East, works out of these offices in Boston. The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America has been urging individual and corporate contributors to withhold funds from, and even boycott, certain news organizations.
One of the most notable targets of that effort has been here at WBUR, the National Public Radio station in Boston. The FM station has so far lost some $2 million, or 8 percent of its budget, in contributions. CAMERA has mobilized its supporters through the Web and ads, such as this one in The New York Times, with the headline: "NPR is lying about Israel again." Businessman Robert Shillman, whose company had given the Boston NPR station $120,000, ended its underwriting.
ROBERT SHILLMAN, CEO, Cognex Corporation: NPR has consistently, consistently refused to make those kind of corrections on matters of fact. And that ultimately was what led to my decision to cease my funding.
TERENCE SMITH: Shillman has contacted other businesses to encourage them, in his words, to "put their money to better use." WBUR General Manager Jane Christo released a statement saying: "I firmly believe that both NPR and WBUR have been fair and balanced in their reporting of Middle Eastern issues."
NPR itself has heard from its listeners directly, including some 10,000 e-mails from both pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian supporters in the last three months alone. CNN International, which airs in both Israel and Arab countries, has been sharply criticized in Israel for its coverage. One Israeli cable system publicly considered pulling the network off the air.
Ten days ago, CNN announced that it will no longer air interviews with the families of suicide bombers, except in rare circumstances.
WOLF BLITZER, CNN: Welcome to our special report: "Victims of Terror."
TERENCE SMITH: The network has also broadcast a series entitled "Victims of Terror," which focuses on Israelis killed in the conflict. Newspapers have also been affected. About a thousand subscribers to The Los Angeles Times suspended delivery a day, for example, and both The New York Times and Washington Post have had subscriptions cancelled in protest over their reporting on Israel.
Meanwhile, self-described watchdog groups such as Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, or FAIR, take the opposite tack. They have charged that many American news organizations have been "too pro-Israel" in their coverage. And supporters of the Palestinian cause, such as the Council on American Islamic Relations, have been documenting what they say are inaccuracies and bias in reporting.
Another Web site, Intifada.com, highlights Israeli soldiers' harsh treatment of Palestinians on the occupied West Bank. A new poll from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press says a sizable plurality, 47 percent, regards press coverage of the Middle East as unbiased. If anything, more Americans see the media tilting in favor of Israel– 27percent– than the 8 percent who believe coverage favors the Palestinian cause.

Has anyone tried one of these:

Its a low-cost distorition effect lens for 35mm cameras.
Just wondering before I bought one.
Has anyone tried one of these:
www.lensbaby.com ?
Its a low-cost distorition effect lens for 35mm cameras.
Just wondering before I bought one.
If you're in New York City, Photo Gizzmo has them in stock, and you could try one out. Location at www.photogizzmo.com.
I don't have one myself, but I've seen interesting work done with them, ranging from very strange to tastefully artistic. Certainly appears worth the price.
just get a holga and have done with it - bigger neg too
from what I've seen, not the same as a Holga. Looks interesting to me, I'm going to have a go making one myself at some stage.
Purchased one after reading the article about them in the B&W mag. They certainly deserve a place in the camera bag and I have made a couple of interesting images with the lensbaby on my EOS 3. My wife uses it more that I do with her colour work.
Like all special effect devices you have to be careful what you use it on. Recommended all the same.
And the Holga has the advantage that if you're shooting out of the sunroof of your car and a bird knocks the thing out of your hands and it gets run over by a Metro Transit light rail train, you're only out $12.Quote:

It might. All it would take would be a gaffer's tape adapter on an empty board to try it.Quote:

The Cleveland Indians-Kansas City Royals game was rained out Friday night at Kauffman Stadium and will be made up on Sunday as a day-night doubleheader. The Royals, who lead the American League Central, have had six off days in the past 12 days. That includes a few rain outs and also having a game postponed in Boston last Friday when the city was shutdown with the manhunt for the bombing suspect. It was also the second rain out this week for the Indians. They were rained out April 23 at Chicago, plus they had they had an off-day Thursday. It was the fourth time this season the Indians have been rained out.

WACO (July 24, 2014) Charity Suzanne Smith, 38, who's accused of leaving her 12-year-old daughter behind when she fled from the Providence Health Center Emergency Room after an attempted theft, was in the McLennan County Jail Thursday facing theft and child abandonment charges.
Smith and Dana Lynn Goodnature, 39, went to the emergency room on July 14 for treatment of an undisclosed problem, police say.
A security guard confronted the two women after a doctor reported that he saw them trying to steal items from the emergency room, police said.
Goodnature was arrested at the scene, but Smith, also known as Charity Suzanne Fyke, fled, leaving her daughter behind, police said.
She was charged with theft of more than $50, but less than $1,500.
She was released after posting a $2,000 bond.
The theft involved such things as gauze pads, tongue depressors, denatured alcohol and sterilized water, police said.

My wife and I were celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary and it was our first time back to Canaan Valley since our honeymoon in 1986. We have stayed in several cabins in the Pigeon Forge area of Tennessee and this cabin was as nice as any we have stayed in before. We loved the quietness, the view was beyond description, the hot tub was perfect, the food in the restaurant is pricey but delicious ... it was a perfect getaway for us. more
