The problem is not whether they are available NOW, it's whether they continue to be available in the decades, if not centuries, to come.
I wouldn't at all expect a bluray release to branch between the two the way TOS-R does. The situations are entirely different as TNG's VFX shots will always remain SD, and there's no way to change that.
This isn't just the model work, you're talking about any scene with the view screen, transporter shot, hand phaser shots, Holodecks, window shots, hundreds of shots they produced over the years. Trying to mix all that in with newly restored and edited scenes in HD is neither practical nor does it preserve the 'original' episodes, as the discrepancy between the material would be massive.
And it DOES NOT MATTER how it's done, or how bad it looks; even if they have to keep the entire SD resolution episodes right next to the new HD ones. The originals need to be preserved, it's that simple.
I'm not sure where you're coming from here.
If you're trying to make some larger point about preserving the original episodes for historical purposes, then that simply has no bearing on the conversation at hand. I doubt CBS/Paramount are going to burn the originals any time soon, at any rate.
It DOES have a bearing on the conversation at hand. And whether they burn them or not, doesn't matter. What matters is that they continue to be available. Whether or not they exist somewhere doesn't matter, whether they can be watched can. Imagine if they make CGI-enhanced version of the Mona Lisa, and the museum that owns it stuffs the real one down in the basement somewhere.
But I'm assuming you were talking about a theoretical "TNG-Remastered" release on Blu-ray. IF this ever happens, the original episodes WILL NOT BE INCLUDED. Nor is there any moral argument that says they should be.
They BETTER be. And there IS a moral argument that says they should be, I just made it.

Because there is little to no economic incentive for Paramount to include the original episodes with their subpar (for Blu-ray) effects in the remastered sets. At most they'll have it up where you can see the old and new effects side by side, but even that's a stretch.
Right, and economics is the only thing that matters anywhere.
Well, if that's the case, we should MAKE SURE there is an economic incentive, aka: if they're not on there, we won't buy them.

ACCOUNTING, RELIGION AND ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE: CREATING AN ISLAMIC BANK Christopher J. Napier Royal Holloway, University of London ABSTRACT When a new organisation is created, an opportunity arises to imprint the organisation with a lasting culture. If this culture is ambivalent, then tensions may persist within the organisation as participants attempt to reconcile potentially inconsistent aims. Such tensions may arise in Islamic financial institutions, which need to adhere to the principles of Sharia law (in particular, the avoidance of transactions involving the receipt or payment of interest) while at the same time maintaining financial viability. This paper examines the process of establishing and regulating Islamic banking in Jordan, through a case study of the creation of Jordan Islamic Bank (JIB) in 1979. The foundation of JIB (the first Islamic bank in Jordan and one of the earliest in the world) raised issues of how to regulate Islamic banks and how to account for the special transactions developed in accordance with Islamic principles. The political environment in Jordan was not favourable for establishing Islamic banking, but JIB's founder used the media and contacted public figures to gain support for his ideas. JIB was established through a special act that contained accounting regulations conforming to Islamic principles. Both religious and secular considerations were involved in developing JIB's special act. The founder's experience in conventional banking and his search for an Islamic model that could compete with conventional banking affected the way in which he developed the structure of the bank's main transactions. As a result, many of these were similar to those of conventional banks. A particular problem in establishing an Islamic banking model and regulating JIB was the existence of different schools of thought within Islam. Through the process of establishing JIB, the founder achieved a regulatory structure that helped to advance his ideas (which reflected an eclectic approach to Islamic schools of thought). Key words: Islamic banking, Sharia, Jordan, bank regulation, mudaraba, muhasaba Correspondence address: School of Management, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0EX. email@example.com

Press release from Business Wire
A.M. Best Comments on The Hartford's Intent to Sell Its Individual Life Insurance Business
Thursday, September 27, 2012
A.M. Best Comments on The Hartford's Intent to Sell Its Individual Life Insurance Business17:09 EDT Thursday, September 27, 2012 OLDWICK, N.J. (Business Wire) -- A.M. Best Co. has commented that the ratings of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (The Hartford) (Hartford, CT) [NYSE: HIG] and its subsidiaries will remain under review with developing implications following the recent announcement that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its individual life business to Prudential Financial, Inc. (Prudential) (Newark, NJ) [NYSE: PRU] for a cash ceding commission of $615 million. The sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013, subject to regulatory approvals. The announced transaction remains consistent with The Hartford's strategy to focus on its property/casualty, group benefits and mutual funds businesses as outlined by management in early 2012. Upon the close of the announced sales of Woodbury Financial Services, its retirement plans business and its individual life business, The Hartford will have successfully executed its announced restructuring and will move forward with a strategy centered on its core strengths. A.M. Best will continue to monitor developments regarding The Hartford's restructuring and discuss with management its future capital plans, including any deployment of proceeds from the sales of non-core businesses, to facilitate removing its ratings from under review. The methodology used in determining these ratings is Best's Credit Rating Methodology, which provides a comprehensive explanation of A.M. Best's rating process and contains the different rating criteria employed in the rating process. Best's Credit Rating Methodology can be found at www.ambest.com/ratings/methodology. Founded in 1899, A.M. Best Company is the world's oldest and most authoritative insurance rating and information source. For more information, visit www.ambest.com. Copyright © 2012 by A.M.

Originally written on Celtics Life | Last updated 7/21/13
Kelly Olynyk: PF/C with PG/QB experience. The Boston Globe's Baxter Holmes wrote a great story profiling the Celtics first round draft pick in this morning's paper. Here are a few of the highlights: Olynyk graduated from Gonzaga in just 3.5 years with a degree in accounting, and is only 2 semesters away from getting his MBA. At age 7 he decided that he would play in the NBA; his backup plan was farming. He grew up in Toronto, and played for the Canadian junior national team. Olynyk chose to redshirt after his sophomore season, something very rarely done. He credits much of his success to this; giving him time to work out and train without worrying about stats. Last season he finished third in the nation in field goal percentage, shooting 62.9%. In high school Olynyk played point guard (before growing from 6'3" to 6'10" in one year) as well as quarterback on the football team. On draft day Danny Ainge said "I don't see Kelly as a go-to guy in the NBA, but a guy that complement...

It's the run defense one game, the pass defense the next and the running game almost every week that is holding the Oakland Raiders back. The problems keep mounting almost as fast as the point total for the opposition. A week after being gashed on the ground by Doug Martin and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Raiders were taken apart through the air by Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens in a 55-20 loss Sunday that matched a franchise worst for points allowed in a game. Coach Dennis Allen called the performance ''unacceptable'' and said the entire defense should be on edge after Oakland (3-6) allowed 97 points the past two weeks.

PIVA to drop Macs; streamline computer system with PC

PIVA to drop Macs
In an upcoming article in 's Print & Graphics magazine, the Printing Industries of Virginia announces its goal to "become more of a business consultant to its membership." In keeping with this vision, PIVA has "completely reconfigured its computer system, changing from a Mac platform to PC." PIVA says "while Mac is the preferred platform with graphic designers, the PC format will allow PIVA to focus on business related issues and have a compatible system in order to be more effective."

actually this convo should be on dslreports not inspire 4g. yes all service providers cap if you hit an excessive amount this has been known since weve had internet. if youre pulling 10G a day, you are far beyond online gaming an i can understand them shutting it down. Think about it if each person is pulling that much thats 3.6TB a year, thats expensive lol.
250gb is not that much, especially if your are a Netflix / Hulu only person. Just one computer using Netflix as a TV replacement can easily put you over, not to mention Pandora and other usage. Cable companies are only doing this to curb streamers. There's a pretty good discussion on the Comcast forums about this. 250gb was fine 4 years ago, but today....not so much.
From what I've heard fios has no cap.

Have two of the small ones, and they are the bomb. Big enough to fit my sleeping bag into, or pack my hammock and rain tarp into and compress nicely down, you really can take some serious space out with these bad boys.
I was initially hoping I could fill one up with air and use it as a pillow while backpacking, but as others have noted they tend to loose air after about 10-20 minutes... so much for that plan. Doubles great as a lunch bag when I have to spend the whole day on campus though, so that's a nice bonus.

Missing something
I'm a transplant originally from Maryland (Western suburbs of Baltimore). I moved here in 2006 on kind of a spur of the moment decision and couldn't have been happier I did! I built a house here in 2008 where I live with a good buddy of mine and my two incredibly loud obnoxious dogs. I've worked in the nursery/landscape business since I was old enough to work and am currently the senior estimator for a large landscape construction firm here in town. I work with awesome people and love my job. For fun I really, really love cooking. I also have a massive vegetable garden that keeps me busy for at least a couple hours every evening. I've become kind of a health nerd lately after realizing what a profound effect a healthy diet has on one's mind. I grow just about everything, some things well, some not so well, but I eat or preserve every bit of it. I also like to go kayaking, hunting and fishing when I get the chance. I'm looking for someone who is grown up, independent and driven in whatever they do. I want someone who knows how to show respect and commands it in return, someone who will challenge me. Patience is a must. Someone who can be totally nonsensical and silly when it's appropriate would be awesome. So... if any of this perked your little ears up, shoot me an e-mail!

It's truly human nature for us to have dreams, aspire to chase them down, and to actually realize them. Some are meant to actually happen while others serve as precursors to bigger and higher aspirations with life and one's destiny professionally and personally.
When one's in pursuit of a goal, there may be adversities and struggles tied together that filter out those who are meant to continue their journey while others head back to the drawing board. In the case of Jessie Lynne Honigs, she's living out and realizing her dreams and despite encountering those difficulties which would otherwise derail most folks, she's on track and loving it!
She's worked diligently and feverishly to earn the opportunities and experience all that she has at the one place most, if not, all of TPF Nation can only imagine being at: the racetrack. Sure, there's struggles, and yes, there's been caution flags (no pun intended, of course) in her personal road course of the racing industry and world. Yet, there she is, volunteering to help the track crew to help make race day possible.
Honigs absolutely has the racing bug, as she enjoys various forms of motorsports like NASCAR, Global Rallycross, and sports car road course racing series. If it's got wheels, involves a trophy and a set of flags are used at the asphalt arenas, you can bet she's there, either as a fan or working the track as a voluntary member for a track! She'll do it all and absolutely love it like it's the first race of her life.
A lot of what Honigs says in this interview struck a chord personally, as I could feel and understand exactly what she's experienced, the enthusiasm for this wonderful sport, as well as finding the place we all want to be in the racing world. As wonderful as racing is, it can be quite the epic adventure to find out exactly where we belong and what capacity suits us in motorsports.
While it may seem like she's found her home in racing, I get the feeling that there's a mansion awaiting her one day!
As for what she's up to in the present day and how she got to where she is in racing, well, let's head to the track and start "Unfurling the Flags with Jessie Lynne Honigs, SCCA Pro Flagger" right here, right now on "TPF!"
Rob Tiongson : First of all, for the fans and racing enthusiasts at home, tell us a bit about yourself and how you got your break into auto racing.
Jessie Lynne Honigs : I guess I'll start from when my addiction began. A dealership I used to work for sent me with a car to Summit Point for a day. When going out on track for my first time, my instructor told me he'd be in control of the steering wheel - I'd just be in charge of the pedals and shifting. I thought he was nuts! We made the first lap around the track, him reaching over to steer from the passenger side the whole time. What an adrenaline rush! I took control of the wheel and decided I wanted to spend the rest of my life at the race track.
After that, I ran a bunch of track days, but couldn't afford to race on a road course. I bought an oval track enduro car and raced for a little while. Wrecked, blew up, and needed something to do while I saved up for a new car. I went to a race with an ALMS team, got to help during the pit stop, and realized that being involved (not only driving) can be a ton of fun also. I spoke with a flagger (a.k.a. corner marshal) that weekend who told me all about volunteering. I never knew that flaggers weren't paid and weren't compensated for travel. Thanks to him sharing his passion, I am now a volunteer as well.
RT : Currently, you flag races across the country, locally here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway amongst other tracks. Does it ever still blow your mind when you arrive at the track and despite it being your work place, know that you're part of the racing action?
JH : Every single time. Like, a kid in a candy store? Or, a teenage girl meeting a boy band? I don't know the best way to explain it, but it's really... really... amazing.
RT : You're currently part of a unique, fresh campaign that sponsors flaggers, helping raise funds for marshals working the races. How'd the idea come about and what future events/projects are in store for this project?
JH : To be honest, working at the track made me broke. It was disappointing that I couldn't afford to volunteer as much I wanted. I was listening to a drivers meeting at an SCCA Club Race a while back - they were asking drivers to work corner stations between their race sessions because they didn't have enough flaggers to run the event. So, we need volunteers, but some volunteers can't afford to help. That sounds ridiculous, right? I thought I'd try to solve that problem.
Regarding future plans, It'd be nice if we could help recruit and fund enough people that there will never be a shortage of volunteer workers at any track. That may be a little more work than I can handle, but with my buddies Tim and Russ helping me, hopefully we can at least make a noticeable difference.
Hey everyone, go to www.sponsoraflagger.com and buy a shirt if you'd like to help out!
RT : While you do work the races, it's clear that you have a passion and enthusiasm for motorsports. What draws you to the racetrack and are there any particular racers that you look forward to seeing at the races?
JH : What draws me there - the smell, the sounds, the cool looking cars, appreciation of hard work that goes into running a race, seeing crazy obsessed racing fans. As far as racers in particular - I always like watching Greg Biffle. I wasn't into NASCAR at first - turning left, easy, right? (Don't get mad, I know better after racing on an oval.)
Anyway, I went to a Daytona 500 party about seven years ago. I pulled Greg's name for a door prize. I didn't win anything, but I was really into the race and paid attention to NASCAR after that. So, he's been my favorite driver since then.
You know what's cool? This weekend while volunteering for NASCAR at Watkins Glen, I might get the chance to talk to him - it may be a using a flag, but that counts! Other than him, there are so many talented drivers who are interesting to watch that I'd be afraid to list them all in fear that I'd leave someone out.
RT : Does the travel to each track get difficult, especially if it's away from the East Coast?
JH : That depends what you mean by difficult. I love traveling, so it doesn't bother me to go to tracks that aren't local. The difficult part is the money and time away from work.
RT : Just how close are you with your fellow marshals and is there a certain rapport/chemistry that's present with the team you work with?
JH : There are a lot flaggers who I haven't met, but I feel like they're all family. We're all instant friends, it's really great being around people who have the same passion that you do.
RT : For those who are looking to be in racing and are struggling to make that dream come true, what advice do you have for them?
JH : Have people in your life who will help you and support what you do - you can't do everything on your own. Reach out, connect with people, and remember that social media is your friend. Oh, and go to www.sponsoraflagger.com to contact me if you want to try flagging!
RT : Ultimately, where do you see yourself in the racing community and sport in the near future? Are you looking to make a career permanently as a marshal and perhaps even standing atop the flag stand at the track?
JH : Is this a trick question? Is my boss at my dealership reading this? Are you trying to get me in trouble? I REALLY love being a BMW Warranty Administrator. Fortunately, my dealership is very understanding - they put up with my random Fridays off for flagging and let me cover my office walls with race car photos.
I'd love to have a career in racing - and yes, waving the checkered flag for a NASCAR race would be incredible. Someday...
Author's Notes : Very special thanks to my friend Jessie for taking the time for this interview and for the wonderful pictures accompanying the piece! Those dreams are being lived and many more are in store for you!
If you'd like to learn more about Jessie, "Follow" her on Twitter as well as her "Sponsor a Flagger" account as well as on "Sponsor a Flagger's" official website!
While there, consider buying a t-shirt to support one of the hardest working crews in all of the racing world today!

Dashcams reveal horrors of teens texting and driving
We all know that teens are crazy drivers. But when you put phones in their hands, things get really bad.
AAA conducted video analysis of teenagers on the road and discovered that "distraction was a factor in nearly six out of 10 moderate-to-severe teen crashes."
The video footage speaks for itself, so just watch:

LT Behenna attempted a final field interview of Mansur prior to his release.
During the return of Mansur, Lt. Behenna again questioned the Al Qaeda member for information about other members of the terrorist cell, and financial supporters. During this interrogation, Mansur attacked Lt. Behenna, who killed the terrorist in self-defense. The government subsequently prosecuted Lt. Behenna for premeditated murder.
The CAAF basically ruled that Michael made a mistake by taking the terrorist to a culvert for an unauthorized interrogation and in the process gave up any right to defend himself no matter what happened in the culvert (note that no police officer in America loses their right to defend themselves in similar situations.)

New York Knicks officials and the casual fan may have had trouble gauging Jeremy Lin's value to the Knicks, but the stock market makes it pretty clear Lin was quite an asset. Since the Knicks declined to match the Rockets offer sheet, letting Lin go to Houston, Madison Square Garden stock has dropped $93 million, according to CNBC sports business reporter Darren Rovell. The rise and fall of MSG's stock has closely followed the rise and fall of Linsanity. When Lin made his first start for the Knicks Feb. 6, MSG shares traded at $29.49. On July 5, the stock had risen more than 30 percent up to $38.80. Since then, as reports that Lin might leave the Knicks increased, shares have dropped to $35.50, an 8.5 percent fall. Because of the luxury tax the Knicks would have had to pay in the third year of Lin's contract if they decided to match the Rockets' offer, it was estimated the Knicks would have had to pay $50 million to retain Lin. That seems like a lot, until you follow the ...

It's Miller time at Auburn Triathlon
By: Todd Mordhorst Journal Sports Editor
Former professional returns to his hometown to compete as an amateur today
For Scott Miller, a relaxing Sunday morning means returning to his hometown and swimming more than half a mile, biking 18 miles and running 4.3 miles. Even at age 50, the Reno resident is one of the men to beat in today's Auburn Sprint Triathlon, one of three events held simultaneously today. Miller, a Placer High graduate, was a professional triathlete after graduating from Chico State and returning to Auburn, where he lived and trained. He now owns Eclipse Pizza Co. in Reno and competes occasionally at the amateur level. "This is a good race for me — I've got a home course advantage," Miller said. "I know all those trails by heart. Auburn's a fun race. Even though it's really competitive, it's a lot more fun than some of the races around. I think Brad (Kearns) wants to remind people that we're out there to have fun. Generally the triathlon crowd is a more serious group." Kearns, who started the Auburn Triathlon eight years ago, knows Miller well. The two trained together when both were on the professional circuit some 20 years ago. Now Kearns is the race director. His event began as the World's Toughest Half and he's added the sprint triathlon and the Auburn Duathlon since then. Today's World's Toughest Half Ironman starts with a 1.2-mile swim. Competitors then jump on their bikes for a 56-mile ride before finishing with a 13.1-mile run. The competition will begin at Rattlesnake Bar State Park at 6:30 a.m. The finish is at Auburn's Railhead Park. Miller plans on competing for his age-group title, but he said it will be tough to contend for the overall sprint crown. Last year, John Christopher blazed through the course in 1 hour, 3 minutes to win. "At 50 years old, I'm not planning on winning," Miller said. "I've been swimming well and running well, but I haven't been riding (the bike) much. I'll do well, but not as well as when I was younger." Miller's endurance resumè includes one very impressive highlight. He's the only man to finish the Western States Endurance Run in less than 24 hours and the Hawaii Ironman World Championship Triathlon in less than 10 hours in the same year. He did it in 1988. "I think Western States was much harder than any triathlon," said Miller, who completed the 100-mile run in 21 hours. "You're going at a much faster pace at an Ironman. You get a chance to change muscles and it breaks up the pace. At Western States, you're doing the same thing for the whole day." Miller said he would like to run Western States again sometime, but the former ski racer is happy with his current training schedule, which keeps him active, but far from burned out. "I've been serious at times and there have been times when I haven't been serious about competing," he said. "But every year I sign up for at least one event and this year it's Auburn. It keeps me fit and gets me out the door."

Oregon Scientific Easy Weather Station Advanced
4 out of 5
Price, clear easy readout, simple set up, alarm clock.
Indoor / outdoor accuracy levels, lack of back light.
During the long winter months, the wise should be willing to go that little bit further in pursuit of knowing what the day is about to throw at them, so any device that can deliver accurate metrological reports at exactly the same time as it wakes you up is automatically of interest.
Oregon Scientific, the Portland based weather technology experts do a nifty line in affordable table-top 'easy' weather stations, with the advanced model allowing multiple 'remote' sensors to communicate with the central base station, relaying numerous sets of results. The main display unit tells you the temperature, in either Fahrenheit or Celsius, where it is as well as a pictographic forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours.
Arrow keys allow you to select readings up to three external sensors (THGR122NX's of which you get one in the box). These can glean temperature and humidify outside by sitting on window sills, or mounted on walls, inside. The set-up guide informs you that the sensors will function up to 30 meters from the base station but for best reception it's wise to minimize the number of line-of-sight obstructions, although, unless you live in open-plan 'habisphere', with a gulf-steam microclimate this request does seem a tall-order for the average semi. The guidebook also suggests that the sensor should point towards the base-station, when tested though, during the recent polar spell, it was discovered the readings are more accurate if the front of the sensors faces the environment in which it's trying to gauge the temperature.
The clock's time is radio-controlled and both time and date are kept accurate by super-clocks in Rugby, in the UK, and Frankfurt in Germany. Oregon have even included an alarm feature and while being very easy to set, the snooze button could be larger to give you that extra 10 minutes in bed after you discover how cold you bedroom is. One other grumble is that there is no backlight to the display, so if you're suddenly possessed with the desperate urge to know the air temperature in the dead of night you either have to blind yourself with the bedside light or wait patiently until morning.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
MILTON It was a long night for the North Gwinnett girls in the opening round of the Class AAAAA state playoffs on Saturday as they fell to Milton 63-43.North (19-10) only managed to score 13 first-half points and never led against the Eagles (20-4), the Region 6-AAAAA champions. The Bulldogs made things interesting at the start of the fourth quarter thanks to three quick buckets from center Annie Wheeler that closed Milton's lead to 40-30. Four consecutive North turnovers allowed the Eagles to go on a 15-0 run that finally put the game out of reach. "We lost our composure and that's a problem we have," North Gwinnett girls coach Tony Watkins said. "We turn the ball over and then we try to get it all back right there and that causes us to turn it over again." The combination of Milton's Nikki Dixon and Kris Puthoff-King was too much for the Lady Bulldogs as the duo scored 47 of the Eagles' 63 total points. Wheeler led the way for North Gwinnett on the offensive end with 15 points but was one of four Bulldogs who fouled out on a busy night for the officiating crew. Watkins spent most of the game jawing with the referees as the Bulldogs were called for 29 fouls nearly twice as many as the number called against the Eagles. "I'm not sure the refereeing was quite as bad as we made it out to be," Watkins said. "You've got to figure out how they're going to call the game and that's the way you go play and we didn't do that. We got caught up in the officiating and you can't get caught up in that, we've just got to go play." In addition to North's foul trouble, the Bulldogs struggled from three-point land, shooting just 4 of 20 compared to Milton's 56-percent shooting percentage from behind the arc. Watkins remained positive after the game and is content with the season the Bulldogs had, though he knows his team didn't do enough on Saturday to pull out the victory. "I'm proud of the year we had, we won 19 games," Watkins said. "We could've played a little bit better today but that's kind of been our problem, we've been inconsistent and we didn't play very well today."

Chronotropic incompetence is defined as the inability of the heart to regulate its rate appropriately in response to physiologic stress. It is a progressive cardiac disease and worsens over a short period of time2.
In general, if chronotropic incompetence is symptomatic, i.e. the patient suffers from fatigue, shortness of breath or the like, the only treatment is a pacemaker with a rate response sensor. Boston Scientific uses a clinically proven MV blended sensor to restore chronotropic incompetence3.

Dave Peterson (pacemaker patient)
Dave Peterson is one of many patients with a pacemaker who thought "he was just getting older" as he could not do the things he used to do.
When his previous pacemaker was replaced by an ALTRUA™ pacemaker with the MV blended sensor technology he really felt the difference. Now he is able to do his daily activities again, he can do more than before and really feels good again!

Tech Junkie
Barometer? yes. Compass? yes. Thermometer? yes. I love it, plus you get software upgrades. From what I understand there was a problem with the 1st generation of these where in the case of multiple victim burials there were "ghost" signals. If you have an old one you can send it in and get that fixed. I would have sent mine in but I had to trash it because the screen was smashed and Pieps said there was nothing they could do to fix it. They did offer a generous deal on a new one. I wouldnt use this for snowmobiling because of the likelihood of smashing your core area on the handlebars, but other than that, this is as very useful piece of equipment.

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note.
Another of the core classic German Oktoberfest beers, Ayinger's take on this traditional style has a bigger, bolder body than its brethren, yet still manages to drink easy as pie—which is good, considering it's traditionally served a liter at a time in gigantic steins! Like all traditional marzens, this beer boasts a slight sweetness tinged with tastes of toffee, bread and toasted pumpernickel. This is balanced by herbal, almost flowery hops and a finish that's surprisingly dry for a beer with this body and sweetness. Those used to the BIG & LOUD of American craft beer may be underwhelmed, but those who appreciate the fine art of brewing a perfectly balanced, flavorful yet easy drinking beer will recognize this for the world-class brew it is. Ayinger Oktoberfest Marzen is all over the place, including at Iron Abbey, City Tap House, Race Street, and many others.

Going into this hotel experience, I knew I'd be paying above average for at the very most, an average room, and that's pretty much what the room was. The room was small, the bed took up most of the space, and there were no windows save the tiny one in the bathroom.
But, it's safe and clean, the front-desk is brisk but nice, it's 3 metro stops away from City Hall, it's near tons of cheap street food, and it's in Singapore, so prices are going to be higher. My only two compaints were regarding the lack of a top sheet, as the bed had a scruffy blanket for a cover, which my husband and I couldn't bring ourselves to use and slept in our warmer clothes instead (cold air-con). The other complaint was our inability to control the air-con temp. We normally sleep with the air-con at a warmer temp than it is set at and we had to chose between freezing in the room, refusing to use the blanket, or sweating it out if we turned the air off.
Despite the sheet and air-con complaints, this hotel does the job of letting you stay in Singapore on the (relatively) cheap, with your own room, your own bathroom, and a quick trip to most things in the city.

NEW YORK, July 24, 2008 -- The New York Stock Exchange today released its weekly program-trading data submitted by its member firms. The report includes trading in all markets as reported to the NYSE for July 14-18.
The data indicated that during July 14-18, program trading amounted to 22.9 percent of NYSE average daily volume of 5,479.1 million shares1, or 1,256.0 million program shares traded per day. This included program trading associated with the July 18 monthly expiration of stock-index options and futures.
Program trading encompasses a wide range of portfolio-trading strategies involving the purchase or sale of a basket of at least 15 stocks with a total value of $1 million or more.
In all markets, program trading by member firms averaged 3,563.6 million shares a day during July 14-18. About 35.2 percent of program trading took place on the NYSE, 0.4 percent in non-U.S. markets and 64.4 percent in other domestic markets, including Nasdaq, the American Stock Exchange and regional markets.
1 The NYSE calculates program trading as the sum of shares bought, sold and sold short in program trades. The total of these shares is divided by the sum of shares bought, sold and sold short on the NYSE including its crossing sessions.

The miraculous rescue of three kidnapped women in Cleveland on Monday has attracted worldwide attention, but it also spotlights a more everyday tragedy — the estimated 1,000 Ohio children entrapped by the sex trade.
Sex trafficking is more common than people want to believe, according to Ginger Goubeaux, social work manager for Daybreak, Dayton's shelter for homeless teens. "People are shocked and appalled this happened in Cleveland in this residential neighborhood, yet it happens right in front of us in our own city," she said. "One of our former clients was a 17-year-old woman who was kidnapped, locked in a basement for a month,and trafficked."
Advocates believe that Amanda Berry's courageous escape will increase public awareness and bring about much needed changes in the state's legal system.
Law enforcement officials are also optimistic that the Cleveland case will bring about change. Todd Lindgren, public affairs specialist for the FBI in Cincinnati, noted that many victims of traffic are reluctant to come forward after years of physical and emotional abuse. "We are hopeful that the rescue in Cleveland will give other victims the strength to come forward, be reunited with their families, help to prosecute those responsible for these evil deeds, and begin the healing process," he said.
For state Rep. Teresa Fedor, D-Toledo, a longtime advocate for survivors of human trafficking and sexual slavery, "The Cleveland miracle will help me to highlight the vulnerability of children in our society."
Fedor hopes the case will provide impetus for the passage of House Bill 130, known as the "end demand" bill, which she recently introduced to reduce consumer demand for sex trafficking. The bill calls for stricter and broader penalties for offenders and also eliminates the current requirement, in cases involving minors, that force, fraud or coercion must be proven in trafficking prosecutions.
"Minors can't consent to sex, so we should consider this rape," she said. "We are allowing men to purchase the rape of our children. We have to call it like it is."
Push to change laws
Experts said the measure is long overdue in a system that has traditionally focused on arresting prostitutes rather than their customers. "If a 45-year-old has sex with a 16-year-old, we charge him with statutory rape; if the same 45-year-old purchases sex with a 16-year-old, we charge her with prostitution," said Tony Talbott, a member of the Ohio Attorney General's human trafficking commission and a University of Dayton lecturer in political science and human rights.
No evidence has been presented that Ariel Castro, the suspect in the Cleveland kidnappings, trafficked his victims for profit. But Talbott said the evidence points to sexual slavery, and also, potentially, labor trafficking if the women were forced to clean and cook for him.
"Forced domestic servitude is the biggest form of human trafficking in the world, and it doesn't just happen in other countries," he said. "It happens right here. It can be a U.S. citizen or a migrant worker who is brought into a home and not allowed to leave. Pay is withheld and the victim is subjected to physical abuse."
As with the Castro case, Talbott observed, the perpetrators often get away with it "because homes are not subject to routine inspection, and you're not going to know that something is wrong unless there's an obvious sign."
Given what he knows about victims of human trafficking, Talbott is amazed by the way Amanda Berry seized her chance to escape. "With long-term psychological abuse, there can be a learned helplessness," he said. "Decisions are taken away from you, and you are trained to be passive."
Even before the Cleveland case, Ohio has been making great strides in combating human trafficking, Talbott said. In 2010, Ohio was ranked one of the 12 worst states in the nation for human trafficking by the Polaris Project, a nonprofit working to end modern-day slavery. Today Ohio is ranked one of the 10 best states.
Talbott gives gives much of the credit to Fedor's legislative efforts: "She has been pushing things for years and has shown a strong ability to work across the aisle." He also credits better law-enforcement training as well as "our two most recent attorney generals and governors who have taken leadership on the issue."
Challenges remain
Yet the problem of human trafficking, with an estimated 30 million victims worldwide, remains enormous and difficult to measure, Talbott said. The attorney general's human trafficking commission estimates that 1,078 American-born children between the ages of 12 and 17 are involved in the sex trade in Ohio."That's a very conservative estimate, and it doesn't take immigrant children into account," Talbott said. "Nationwide, there are an estimated 100,000 children trapped in the sex trade."
Last year, Goubeaux worked with four Daybreak clients who had been been victims of trafficking. She said homeless youth are especially vulnerable: "We see pimps trafficking them out, but a number were trafficked by their family members, typically for drugs. There was a young lady trafficked by her foster family while living with them. Another was propositioned on the Internet."
Barbara Freeman, 41, of Columbus said she spent 15 years "locked down in this man's basement," unable to hold a job or even pick out her own clothing. She escaped from that hell only to engage in years of prostitution and drug abuse. Her life turned around at last when she was referred to Franklin County's innovative "CATCH court" — Changing Actions To Change Habits — started by Municipal Court Judge Paul Herbert Herbert's, which required the women to receive treatment for drug addiction.
After her own years in captivity, Freeman understands how the Cleveland victims were unable to escape for so many years. "This can't be the first time they were left by themselves, so why did they stay?" she wondered. "I was so brainwashed, I couldn't go to my own mother's house. I was locked on the inside, with no screen doors, and no key to go in or out."
Freeman, who testified last week on behalf of HB 130 before the House Judiciary Committee, hopes the Castro case will open the eyes of the American public: "I really believe it is going to make changes and maybe even some new laws. Women in sexual slavery should be looked at as victims, and something should be done about the predators. We might be doing drugs, but that does not give men the right to rape us or beat us."
Changing attitudes
Fedor said the Cleveland case demonstrates the need for greater awareness at all levels, including first responders. She was troubled by the Cleveland dispatcher's response to Berry's frantic 911 call on Monday and by the fact that he allowed her to get off the phone before help arrived. "He didn't give her any understanding that she was believed," she said. "His tone was one of gathering facts."
In order for real change to happen, Fedor believes, attitudes need to change: "The demand for prostitution drives this whole market-based system. The focus has to be on demand if we want to end this practice. If there's no demand, there's no market. It's called the 'oldest profession.' It should be called the oldest oppression of women. There was a lot of shame and stigma, and it was always the woman's fault. It was never the fault of the buyers or the businessmen selling these women for their profit."
