Integrated Asset Management Corp. Announces Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 201316:01 EST Friday, February 08, 2013TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 8, 2013) - Integrated Asset Management Corp. ("IAM") (TSX:IAM) today announced unaudited financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Review of the 3 month Period Ended HIGHLIGHTSDecember 31, 2012 (thousands except per share amounts)December 31, 2011 (thousands except per share amounts)Assets and Committed Capital Under Management ("AUM")$ 1,886,000$ 2,252,000Revenues before the undernoted$3,324$3,900Performance fees$218$20Investment gain$154$282Total revenues$3,696$4,202Net performance fees(1)$145$19EBITDA(1)$1$(92)Loss before income taxes$(206)$(318)Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders of the Corporation$140$(391)Earnings (loss) per share$0.00$(0.01)(1) Net performance fees and EBITDA are non-GAAP earnings measures used by the Corporation. EBITDA is calculated as earnings before the deduction of non-controlling interest, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and investment income (loss). AUM declined by approximately $56 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 to $1.9 billion. The principal reason for the decrease of approximately $370 million from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012 was the end of a segregated fund, effective February 2012, which was managed by Real Estate Asset Management. Management fees, administration and redemption fees decreased from $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to $3.3 million in fiscal 2013. About $0.4 million of this decline in management fees in the quarter is due to lower AUM in the Corporation's Real Estate Asset Management and Retail Alternative Investments divisions. Victor Koloshuk, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IAM said "We are actively marketing new funds for Private Corporate Debt and Real Estate Asset Management. We expect these funds to close in fiscal 2013 and that these new commitments will be important in our rebound from a sub-par 2012."For detailed financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2012 and for the first quarter, including Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Corporation's Annual Information Form, please refer to IAM's website or SEDAR at www.sedar.com after December 12, 2012. IAM is one of Canada's leading alternative asset management companies with approximately $1.9 billion in assets and committed capital under management in real estate, private corporate debt, private equity, managed futures and retail alternative investments as of February 8, 2013. This press release may contain forward-looking statements with respect to IAM and its products and services, including its business operations and strategy and financial performance and condition. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in any such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Oxygen??? You sure you don't mean "air"? If it really is O2, is there some adequate mechanism to prevent the rider from going too deep?
maxtxtxtx July 23, 2013 at 8:30 pm
What a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE IDEA. You don\\\'t need to know anything about SCUBA…don\\\'t need to know anything about the underwater \\\'rules of the road\\\'…hell, you don\\\'t even have to know how to swim…just jump on and take off. I can\\\'t tell you how much potential for disaster, and for reckless destruction of the reefs, I see here. Any redundancy built into these things? Any safety systems? UNDERWATER is not a tourist attraction, IT\\\'S A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT. Thankfully, it seems to me that after the first couple of fatal or near-fatal accidents involving cruise ship yobbos with more money than brains toodling around on these things, we will probably see them vanish utterly, never to be seen again. That\\\'s my hope, anyway…not to wish harm on any users. Just a horrible idea.
Captain Cod Fish May 25, 2012 at 7:09 pm
They could use this as an underwater wheel chair for handicdap tourists and when it reaches the surface it can transform into a jet ski!

@tdhelder /sarcams on- right, because getting more people into fragile ecosystems is good for the local flora and fauna, and wasting energy where most folks can swim is awesome.
/sarcasm off
i can see this as potentially *awesome* for folks confined to a wheelchair (with a bucket of safety precautions), but it's not at all green. it's conspicuous consumption of a very spendy toy. it's *REALLY* cool, but does not qualify as "green design"

A device like that can promote underwater ecotourism the battery is rechargeable, all you would need to do is install a set of solar cells and you've got yourself a good little business. Also by introducing people to the actual close up tours of reefs and the underwater depths, you could be helping to change attitudes about pollution and its effects on our environment. As for the expense, most things are a bit pricey when the first come out, but they will come down in price.

someone tell me how an expensive underwater scooter is green. seriously, it's really cool, but how in the firey monkey gods is this green design saving the world?

Nice and light, small sizing
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a nice, fairly basic shell. Not a ton of pockets, but enough to carry whatever you need.
I really like how lightweight it is. Takes up minimal room in a pack.
I have two complaints with this jacket. The velcro wrist closures are not sewn on very well. I accidentally ripped one off. I've been more careful with new one I exchanged it for. Also, the sizing is a little funny. I am 5'10 155 lbs, usually wear a size large jacket. I started with an XL Stash Shell, and exchanged it for a XXL. Even with the XL, I found that if I bent over to adjust my boot, my lower back would be exposed. XXL fits nicely.

Cres Cor has data showing that our ovens do not require hood venting for most local codes.
Upon conclusion of the thorough EPA 202 test method run on a worst-case test unit at Underwriters Laboratories (UL), it was recently determined that Cres Cor Ovens (QuikTherm™ Retherm Ovens, Cook-N-Hold Ovens and Roast-N-Hold Ovens) meet the standards set forth in section 59 of UL 710B for proper ventilation and emissions of grease laden air, and are therefore not required to be placed under a ventilation hood. Health inspectors may use local codes to overrule these results, but as far as the UL standard is concerned, the series of Cres Cor ovens listed above emit less than 4% of the limit of grease emission which would require an appliance to be placed under a ventilation hood. View the data findings received from UL agency in the letter below. It's just another way Cres Cor is leading the way in safe, reliable and efficient foodservice equipment.

Motor Trend Chooses MINI Over Quirky Rivals
We love a good comparison test here at MotoringFile, especially when the MINI gets its due as a driver's car – especially the Cooper. While MINI doesn't always come out on top in these small car shoot outs, it's always interesting to see how the automotive press compares the Cooper to its rivals. This month, Motor Trend published a story pitting the MINI against the Scion tC, Honda CR-Z, Volkswagen Beetle, Hyundai Veloster, and of course, the Fiat 500. These, as the misfit group of the automotive world — the odd balls. Spoiler alert, MINI came out on top.
If you haven't heard, MINIs are really fun to drive. That doesn't just apply to the turbocharged S model, either. Much to our delight, the base MINI is no penalty box. Instead, it was the unanimous winner. Despite being one of the least-powerful cars here, the MINI laid down the second-fastest 0-60 time and the best stopping and skidpad performance by far, and still pulled off the second-best observed fuel economy, losing to the hybrid CR-Z by a tenth of an mpg. To top it off, despite a well-earned reputation for pricey options, the MINI wasn't the most expensive car here.
It's refreshing to see someone outside the enthusiast community recognize the sweet spot the MINI lands in. Speed, cornering, style and fuel economy. Look outside the MINI brand, you usually end up compromising something. You'll trade economy for speed, cornering for more ride comfort, or simplicity for character. But the one thing that we were happy to see mentioned is the steering. Within the MINI Community there's been some complaints about the current generation's electric steering versus the previous. While we've always maintained there's about a 10% loss of feel, it's still one of the best front wheel drive systems out there for feedback, weight and control. And it would seem Motor Trend agrees as well.
Of course, it's not all praise. Motor Trend had the typical car tester complaints when it comes to the MINI.
Of course, there are some drawbacks. You either love or hate the MINI interior, and its oddball ergonomics had more critics than defenders. Detractors conceded you'd probably get used to them. There's also the issue of the cargo capacity, or lack thereof. The smallest trunk of the bunch (yes, even smaller than the Fiat's) came under fire for its serious lack of practicality, but the tradeoff of useable back seats helped offset it.
As often happens, the MINI came out on top because of its driving dynamics. The things that make the MINI what it is aren't in the specs you find on paper. It's the experience behind the wheel.
The MINI won, of course, with its driving. The one-two punch of smart gearing and a thick power band make the most of the available power, and they're accessed via a precise shifter and well-positioned pedals. The real magic comes from the solid chassis, sport-tuned suspension, and direct, communicative steering. To be fair, our tester was optioned with larger wheels and better tires and an electronic limited-slip differential, but these wouldn't affect the handling enough to take the MINI out of first. MINI's dedication to the driver pays off in handling that trounced the field, albeit at the price of a harsh ride on rough pavement. Unlike some other contenders, though, you feel like you're getting something in return for your chattering teeth.
Check out the full story, included how the rest of the competition faired in the hands of Motor Trend's drivers over at their website.

Iterative Combinatorial Auctions with Bidder-Determined Combinations
In combinatorial auctions, multiple distinct items are sold simultaneously and a bidder may place a single bid on a set (package) of distinct items. The determination of packages for bidding is a nontrivial task, and existing efficient formats require that bidders know the set of packages and/or their valuations. In this paper, we extend an efficient ascending combinatorial auction mechanism to use approximate single-item pricing. The single-item prices in each round are derived from a linear program that is constructed to reflect the current allocation of packages. Introduction of approximate single-item prices allows for endogenous bid determination where bidders can discover packages that were not included in the original bid set. Due to nonconvexities, single-item prices may not exist that are exact marginal values. We show that the use of approximate single-item prices with endogenous bidding always produces allocations that are at least as efficient as those from bidding with a fixed set of packages based on package pricing. A network resource allocation example is given that illustrates the benefits of our endogenous bidding mechanism.

Evidence continues to accumulate that serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) may have value as a prognostic marker for survival in men with very early and very late-stage forms of prostate cancer.
Knowledge about potential relationships between acute and chronic states of tissue inflammation and prostate cancer is evolving. CRP is a protein that is highly expressed in patients with acute-phase inflammation. Questions that have been posed include whether CRP can be used to classify prostate cancer patients according to their risk for lethal disease at the time of diagnosis and their risk for rapid progression of their disease after failure of hormone therapy.
In a study published in 2008, using data from the ASCENT trial, Beer et al. reported that, "Elevated plasma CRP concentrations appear to be a strong predictor of poor survival and lower probability of PSA response to treatment in patients with [castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)] who are receiving docetaxel-based therapy." Recent research by Prins et al. sought to confirm this finding in an independent data set.
Prins et al. accumulated data from 119 CRPC patients enrolled in six different phase II clinical trials of drugs and drug combinations. They were able to use these data to investigate the relationship of CRP level, alkaline phosphatase level, hemoglobin level, patient age, ECOG performance status, and PSA level with survival. The results of their analysis showed the following:
In a very different study, McArdle et al. have looked at the relevance of CRP levels in patients with organ-confined disease at the time of diagnosis to their risk for prostate cancer-specific mortality. Their study was based on a series of 98 men who met the relevant diagnostic criteria and for whom clinical stage, tumor grade, serum PSA levels, and C-reactive protein concentrations at diagnosis were all recorded. Most of these patients were < 70 years of age at diagnosis and about half received radical local therapy.
Long-term follow-up of these 98 patients (median follow-up was 10 years) generated the following data:
In fact, this study showed that elevated CRP levels at the time of diagnosis nearly doubled a patient's risk for prostate cancer-specific mortality (with a hazard ratio [HR] of 1.88 in multivariate analysis). The authors of this paper conclude that "the presence of a systemic inflammatory response, at diagnosis, independently predicts poor long-term cancer outcome in patients with localised prostate cancer."
So exactly how important are all of these data?
In truth, we still don't know. They do tell us that inflammation may play an important role in the natural history of prostate cancer … but this is hardly a revolutionary piece of information. What is going to be critical are answers to two questions: (a) Can CRP levels be used to accurately predict patient survival in prospective, randomized clinical trials? (b) If CRP levels can be so used, does this additional data provide us with prognostic information that is not already available (based on things like PSA levels, Gleason scores, alkaline phosphatase levels, hemoglobin levels, and other data).
It should be noted that we shouldn't need to start special trials to investigate the potential of CRP as a prognostic marker. It should be possible to do this in association with other trials of investigational therapies in the treatment of CRPC or through long-term registry data in the case of early stage disease. But until we have prospective CRP data from such trials, the actual clinical value of measuring CRP levels in patients with localized or advanced disease remains unknown.

A 92-year-old former mayor of Grand Lake was attacked and critically injured by a bull moose as he walked to church Sunday morning, authorities said.
Louis Heckert was taken to St. Anthony Central Hospital in Denver, where he was in critical condition late Sunday with head injuries, friends and hospital officials said.
The moose that attacked Heckert was shot to death by a state Division of Wildlife officer. The animal probably weighed about 800 pounds.
Heckert's friends say he was walking to church in an alley behind Grand Avenue in Grand Lake when the moose attacked him about 9:25 a.m.
Division of Wildlife spokesman Randy Hampton said Heckert did not provoke the attack in any way.
"From the report that we received from bystanders, he was just walking down the street," he said. "In Grand Lake, it's a mountain town, and when you are walking down the street, it's like you could be walking along the edge of the forest."
When moose attack, they knock a person over and then begin stomping on them, Hampton said.
"It's unheard of. It's not very common at all," said Gene Stover, owner of the Lariat Saloon in Grand Lake and a friend of Heckert's. "It's like getting struck by lightning. It's not like we have rampant moose attacks up here."
Heckert celebrated his 92nd birthday Saturday night at Stover's saloon. Heckert tap dances at the saloon every weekend, Stover said.
Heckert was mayor of Grand Lake and a former president of the city's chamber of commerce.
"I know that he's got brain (injuries)," Stover said. "It's a very sad day."
When emergency service workers got to the scene, a Division of Wildlife officer stood by to make sure the moose did not go after them as they tried to render aid to Heckert.
The officer decided it was in the best interest of safety to kill the moose.
"We made the decision to put this one down because of the unprovoked attack," Hampton said. "We are not going to tolerate that kind of aggression from these animals."
The DOW will examine the moose's head for signs of disease. The animal appeared to be about 5 or 6 years old, Hampton said. Several ribs on the animal's right side appeared to have been broken in the past.
Stover said a woman was attacked by a moose last week in Grand Lake, but she escaped without serious injury.
"It's not like she was 92," Stover said. "Somebody was hurt, but it was not critical like this."

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has pleaded guilty to driving with his license suspended and without insurance. The Argentina international appeared in court near Manchester on Thursday after being charged with the offenses last month. The maximum penalty for driving while disqualified is six months in prison. Tevez was banned from driving for six months on Jan. 16 after failing to respond to letters by police about speeding. However, he was stopped by police while driving a sports car on a road near his home on March 7, following an anonymous tip-off. Tevez has scored five goals for City since being charged.

Such as the crafter, which you could have good and bad crafters, each item was different. Or is it just gonna be every one can make everything if they grind long enough? Also like the dancer/doctor, which forced every one into hubs seeking each others aid and conversation/roleplaying. Or is this just gonna be like every other mmo where every one can have all skills, and the only reason to group is because you want to kill a bigger target?
From what i read about the crafting system, it just looks like a long skill grind and then every one can make everything. Let me rephrase if some one were to buy a max skill crafter in SWG, they still wouldent be able to to craft good stuff. It looks to me all the stuff ends up being the same, minus which of the items you put in the shell. But a fitting is a fitting, the resources dont look random to me. They look quite static, minus that they have different stats. I thought this was gonna be SWG crafting, but it doesnt look like it\? Or do i have it wrong?

It's designed to be a social game. Lots of ways it's encouraged:
- Engagements are a type of Public Quest, and aimed at larger collections of players.
- Missions have a reward bonus when you are grouped, other players in the group get a chance at loot that is separate from your own.
- Missions have a bonus buff system that you gain from completing missions, and the entire group gets it when grouped. Because your group will be able to complete missions faster, it goes faster.
- You gain a bonus to the rate at which you gain skills when grouped.
- There is an auto-grouping system which can group you automatically with other players in an engagement area. This can be disabled and also has options to stay in the group after the engagement ends or not.
- Everyone who contributes to a kill gets their own chance at private loot. While they don't get the full chance as though they killed the mob solo, there is a generated bonus chance when multiple players killed a target. The end result is that you will have more chances of getting loot when you are grouped, and never have to worry about other players being greedy and pressing need on everything.
- The Entertainment system is there to encourage players to visit a camp, bar or other resting area when they are near one to get buffs, or enjoy the show. The entertainment abilities are designed so that if the entertainers are working together properly you will get more potent and longer lasting buffs. The higher echelon of the buffs there require multiple entertainers working in tandem.
- The openings system rewards players for coordinating their attacks. When an opening is present all other players (or NPCs) can take advantage of it. Many abilities are more effective when a particular opening exists. This rewards players for grouping up and for working well together.
- There is a mix of solo, group and raid content. Group and raid oriented targets typically will give additional skill gain bonuses due to being considered a dangerous activity. Bosses have generated special abilities which means that groups or raids will need to adjust their tactics on the fly.
- The housing system is not privatized so you can showcase your stuff to other players.
- PvP revolves around Nation vs. Nation combat (nations are like guilds), and includes city building and sieges.
- Content can optionally scale up or down based on the number of players nearby. This is optional on a per engagement or per den basis. There are a number of dens that work similar to the old ring of ___ events in Everquest 1. If you can't kill X amount of mobs or the boss in X amount of time, it goes back to the default state or stays at the same level. If you have enough players that you can take down the boss, then a tougher one will come in the next wave, etc. They are also commonly used to reduce the spawn times based on how many players are in an area. This helps to adjust for crowding, and is very helpful to keep an even amount of content for groups.
- Crafting and Trade skills are very dependent on other lines. There is mastery for every harvestable type and style of crafting recipes. The grade of your results is tied to your skill, your mastery level of that recipe, and the quality of the ingredients used (which in themselves are refined by someone else with the same checks). While it's technically possible that someone with a lot of time on their hands could eventually (years down the road) master everything, it's would be an epic grind and something that simply raising the skill cap or mastery cap by one rank would set them back again. Crafting is set up to encourage specialists. If your a casual player who only has time to master a couple recipe types, then focus on component building or refinement, be able to produce A9 components or materials and you'll always be in demand. If you have more time you could certainly master more things, but it's a grind just mastering all the recipes in a single trade skill. I think in general what you'll see is people mastering a few things that are important to them and then buying components from other players for most things.

There are many games that encourage or require you to group and work together, but few that succeeds in creating a good community with player interdependancy, like SWG did.
Take SWTOR, you group for a specific mission, but disband when its over and you never hear from them again

That's always been a problem in the theme park MMOs. Questing became the primary form of experience, it was the means to an end. I think questing for exp is superior to what we generally did before (grinding for exp). But with theme parks you made questing the fastest way to go, and you made most of it solo. With a laid out line of progression. As a result, players generally only care about what they are working on. Where in the old games, grouping was far and away your best way to gain experience, and there was very little benefit to helping someone else with do a quest you didn't have, when mob experience became worth a lot less.

The community that is hovering around this game from what I have seen so far are dedicated and mature individuals. I have also already noticed there are whole guilds and gaming communities that are planning to be involved on release. I think that this game will host one of the best gaming communities.

7/4/2015 | Roark is there to pick up the Nationals again
Once he saw manager Matt Williams and assistant athletic trainer Steve Gober go to the mound to check on Stephen Strasburg during Saturday's 9-3 victory over the Giants, Nationals right-hander Tanner Roark had a feeling he would enter the game.
7/4/2015 | Harper, Moore pace July 4 offensive onslaught
Fourth of July fireworks are usually reserved for after the sky gets dark and the grills go cold. But on Saturday in the nation's capital on its 239th birthday, the Nationals shot a few off early. Bryce Harper and Tyler Moore both went 3-for-4 in Washington's 9-3 win at Nationals Park.
7/4/2015 | Vogelsong, Zimmermann lock horns in finale
The Giants and Nationals close out their three-game set on Sunday night at Nationals Park. Ryan Vogelsong will start for San Francisco, while Jordan Zimmermann will take the ball for Washington.
7/4/2015 | Strasburg exits early with left-side tightness
Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg left Saturday's 9-3 win over the Giants in the fourth inning because of tightness in his left side and was replaced by right-hander Tanner Roark.
7/4/2015 | Span serves coffee to raise funds for his foundation
If Denard Span chooses to become a barista after his playing days are over, it would surely turn more than a few heads. But on Friday morning, the eight-year veteran spent the better part of an hour behind the counter of a Peet's Coffee in D.C., in a fundraising effort for the Denard Span Foundation.
7/3/2015 | Robinson gets curtain-call moment with homer
Since Ryan Zimmerman was placed on the disabled list, Clint Robinson has been given the opportunity to play often at first base for the Nationals, and he has been productive. Robinson had a big game in the Nationals' 2-1 victory over the Giants on Friday night at Nationals Park.
7/3/2015 | Gio unfazed by long layoff in beating Giants
With 10 days between starts, Gio Gonzalez's seven innings of one-run ball against San Francisco in Washington's 2-1 win Friday night is all the more impressive.
7/3/2015 | Strasburg faces test in containing Giants
Since Stephen Strasburg returned from a left neck muscle strain, he has gone 2-0 with two earned runs allowed, 15 strikeouts and two walks over 12 innings. His next test comes Saturday against a San Francisco offense that leads the National League in team batting average and is in the top five in runs scored.
7/3/2015 | Werth recalls special moment with artist sister
Nationals left fielder Jayson Werth made it known Friday that he was proud of his sister, Hillary Werth, a professional artist. Take what happened June 6 at the Dream Gala, which was hosted by the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation. Hillary Werth's artwork, Maxbat American Flag, was auctioned for $26,000.
7/3/2015 | Werth feels close to beginning rehab games
Jayson Werth's left wrist is getting stronger, he says. While he has not swung the bat, the Nationals left fielder has been swinging a broomstick without any problems. Werth is hoping to get back on the field by August.
7/2/2015 | Close, non-reviewable call ends it in Atlanta
The Nationals stayed on the field longer than most losing teams Thursday night, after the Braves' 2-1 walk-off victory in the series finale at Turner Field, but only because of a close call on Cameron Maybin's game-winning hit down the third-base line.
7/2/2015 | Braves sink Scherzer with walk-off in ninth
It took a fortunate hop, but the Braves found a way to conquer Max Scherzer, courtesy of a one-out, walk-off single that Cameron Maybin bounced over the third-base bag to conclude Thursday night's 2-1 win over the Nationals at Turner Field.
7/2/2015 | Desmond sits out, makes mechanical changes
After a second straight 0-for-4 night on Wednesday, Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond got the day off Thursday to work on mechanical adjustments at the plate.
7/2/2015 | Peavy comes off DL to face Gio, Nats in DC
Two of the top National League teams are set to slug it out in a three-game series this weekend in Washington as the Nationals host the Giants over the Fourth of July.
7/2/2015 | Scherzer named NL Pitcher of the Month
After a slow start to begin June, Nationals ace Max Scherzer became virtually unhittable, finishing with a 3-2 record and a 2.33 ERA on the month, and it earned him the National League Pitcher of the Month Award. It marked the second straight month he won the award.
7/2/2015 | Nats sign int'l free agent Soto for $1.5 million
The Nationals have agreed to a $1.5 million signing bonus with teenage outfielder Juan Soto of the Dominican Republic.
7/2/2015 | Homers hurt as Fister derailed by 1 big inning
Nationals right-hander Doug Fister cruised through his first three innings against the Braves on Wednesday night, retiring nine of the first 10 batters he faced. Unfortuantely for Fister, the fourth inning came along, and with it came a barrage of Atlanta runs.
7/2/2015 | Banuelos to contend with Scherzer in MLB debut
For the rubber game of the three-game series between the Braves and Nationals on Thursday night, Washington will trot out Major League Baseball's best pitcher, Max Scherzer, while rookie Manny Banuelos will make his MLB debut for Atlanta.
7/2/2015 | Wisler, homers help Braves solve Nationals
Matt Wisler validated his status as a highly regarded pitching prospect and recorded his first career hit and RBI during a four-run fourth inning that propelled the Braves to Wednesday night's 4-1 win over the Nationals at Turner Field.
7/1/2015 | Giolito tosses 7 no-hit innings for Potomac
The Class A Advanced Potomac Nationals nearly recorded their first combined no-hitter since 1995 on Wednesday, with No. 1 prospect Lucas Giolito providing the heavy lifting in a 4-0 win.
7/1/2015 | Turner launches his first Triple-A dinger
Trea Turner hit his first Triple-A home run on Wednesday, a third-inning shot during Syracuse's 10-1 win over Louisville that broke up an 0-for-18 start to his tenure.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Mississippi lawmakers in 2014 could debate whether to require seat belts in school buses, but it could be a tough fight.
The state budget is already stretched, and many lawmakers say they don't want to push more expenses onto local school districts.
Plus, some lawmakers have shown over the years that they don't like the government requiring seat belt use in private vehicles.
Advocates say seat belts could help reduce the severity of children's injuries in case of a school bus wreck. Critics say, however, it would be difficult for school bus drivers to make sure all children are buckled up.
Democratic Rep. Johnny Stringer of Montrose says Tuesday that he checked with the state Department of Education: Mississippi had 184 school bus accidents last year, none of them fatal.

text: As the fellow above said, absolute accuracy (how closely the numerical CC value dialed in matches the actual amount of filtration you are using) will vary between every set of filters, and is also affected by mechanical factors in the enlarger or CC filters. However, precision is far more important than accuracy. All you need to print is relative accuracy, not absolute accuracy. Precision in this case simply means how fine of control you have; to what degree of specificity you can reliably measure. CC filters come in 5-point increments at the smallest, while the knobs give you 1-point increments. Since the knobs are totally analog, you can also fudge fractions, though by definition, precision remains at one point even when you do this, since precision is defined by how far apart the hash marks on the knobs are.

Originally written on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 3/19/13
Leslie Frazier had to endure Percy Harvin and his temperament for four years until the malcontent receiver forced his way out of Minnesota. At the time of his departure the question was, "Who is going to take his place?" Now that former Green Bay Packer Greg Jennings is in the fold, Frazier is breathing a little easier. The mild mannered coach likes the direction the team is headed after making the playoffs in 2012, and he's convinced Jennings who have had two down years in a row due to injuries, will play a big part. The eye in the sky doesn't lie, and Frazier already knew what kind of player the Vikings were getting when they signed Jennings. "We had a ton of tape to show that. A ton. A ton of tape. Greg's a bright guy. He understands offense and he understands defenses, too. So once we showed him specific things, he realized there were some golden opportunities here. Plus, Bill and George did a great job explaining that we would use him in a fashion where he could move around and not have coverages constantly rolled toward him. I think he liked what he heard," Frazier said, via Dan Wiederer of the Star-Tribune.com. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});
