Tony Tyler's address to the 1000 delegates from industry and media who gathered in Miami 7-9 June for IATA's 71st AGM
The importance for our industry to embrace innovation will be the central topic for the eighth edition of the World Cargo Symposium (WCS) on the 11-13 of March. For the first time it will take place in the USA, recognizing the relevance of Los Angeles as a cargo hub: its international airport ranks 14th in the world by tons of cargo processed.
WCS 2014 will address industry challenges, such as:
We expect a thousand professionals from the whole supply chain to share their passion to participate and influence the industry.
Hosted by American Airlines, the next WCS will hold a full-day Opening Plenary on 11 March and a Closing Plenary on 13 March. The two sessions will feature high-level speakers discussing essential priorities for the whole cargo supply-chain.
In addition, the three-day event will contain the Cargo Executive Summit (CES), the Future Air Cargo Executive Summit (FACES) and fifteen specialized track sessions. These half-day interactive sessions will provide delegates with the latest updates and the opportunity to engage and debate with key industry leaders.
The WCS creates a world-class forum for delegates to expand their network and be open to new opportunities. The event brings professionals and key decision makers from 90 different countries. Last edition achieved a 99% satisfaction level across delegates.
To maintain such high quality, the L.A edition will incorporate new features for networking, such as special designed meeting points and hospitality suites. The goal is to ensure that no participants leave the WCS without bringing back home a portfolio of new potential business partners and solutions.

Ellis: Cuts in teaching staff, assistants loom
Superintendent Mary Ellis and other superintendents around the state are concerned about the Senate budget that passed last week.
Ellis said in her superintendent's report Tuesday that they have frozen teacher and teaching assistant hiring where the funding comes from state and local money as a precautionary measure.
She said if the budget does not change, they could lose about 90 teacher assistants, about 83 teachers, about $700,000 in transportation spending and about $55,000 from the central office.
"If this budget passes and I am not knee-jerking because the House is working on a far different budget...but if the Senate's budget comes to pass, we will have to lay off 90 teaching assistants and we only have 264 and a half, I think 265. So you can see the decimation," Ellis said Tuesday night.
Ellis and three other superintendents held a press conference Wednesday and released a statement about the Senate's budget. They were representing the North Carolina Large District Superintendent Consortium, a group made up of the superintendents from the state's 10 largest districts.
The 10 largest school districts account for about 44 percent of students in North Carolina.
"The state's 10 largest districts represent nearly half of the students in our state," Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Superintendent Heath E. Morrison said at the conference. "Just in these districts alone, the Senate's proposed budget would cut nearly $130 million in funding. Cuts would include: $94 million in teacher assistant funding (nearly 3,200 positions), more than $21 million in funding for classroom teachers (425 teachers), $1.4 million in central office funding and more than $13 million for student transportation."
All of the superintendents supported the teacher pay raises written into the budget, but were concerned about the cuts elsewhere in education in order to fund the $469 million measure.
"Teachers who give up tenure and longevity can have an 11 percent pay increase. I support a pay increase for teachers, I honest to goodness do, I'm just not sure that supporting it on the backs of teacher assistants and teaching positions is the way to go," Ellis said Tuesday night. "We will have to expand class size in grades 4-12, no way around it. I'm announcing it to the world, if the Senate budget goes through, because we must have a balanced budget, there is no option there."
Gov. Pat McCrory also spoke in opposition to the budget Monday morning at Sun Valley Elementary School. He said he supported pay raises, but wanted a sustainable, long-term plan. He also said he opposed cutting funding for teacher assistants and wanted to keep textbooks in the classrooms.
The superintendent consortium intends to advocate for their districts in the coming weeks.
Ellis said at the school board meeting that she is worried about the impacts of the cuts on the Read to Achieve law.
"My concern is that in a time, that the General Assembly has said we will not promote kids to Grade 4 unless they can read, and I'm not against that, but it takes people to work with children in small groups, so what are we doing, we're cutting the people who work with them in the small groups," she said.
Board Chairman Richard Yercheck encouraged parents Tuesday night to reach out to state senators and representatives about the budget.
"All politics is local, it's going to hit us hard," he said. "There's nothing we will be able to do about it, there's nothing the county commissioners are going to be able to do about it. There's not going to be another surprise bucket of money..."
He encouraged people to get active and to get their friends active to avoid cuts to the classrooms.

Step 1: Choose a cool tape
Step 2: Unscrew case
Step 3: Remove innards
It's both easier and cleaner to remove most of the internal parts with a pliers, twisting things until they break. You can remove everything with pliers except the one big fat screw boss in the lower center of the case.
And yes, it does fit credit cards. It hadn't occurred to me, but when you asked, I tried it. You could fit a couple cards and a small wad of bills, so I guess you could have one tape for your business cards and another for your wallet...
And to manage business cards and contacts, I use CardFila.com. It has application for iPhone and android phone also.

Average Customer Review4.5 (22 reviews)
Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked:Hefty and solid. Accurate, good velocity on three pumps.
What others should know:I have equipped mine with a Led sniper tactical Compact Pistol Rail Red Laser Sight 20mm Picatinny Weaver Rail. sold by led sniper. This laser sight is small enough not to interfere with cocking.
Things I liked:Accuracy is good for 10m practice. Grip was awesome (left handed grip, at least). Trigger feels pretty good. Not quite as accurate as my Alfa Proj, but half the price.
Things I would have changed:Other than the price tag, Id say maybe an ambidextrous grip, so us lefties don't have to buy a separate grip.
What others should know:I opted for this version over the shorter version for my 10m practicing. 2 pumps was good for that. I got it so I wouldn't have to re-fill my PCP every single time I practiced. It serves this purpose well.
Things I liked:Great accuracy, great trigger, and great balance. I like mine in .177 because one pump is good for targets to my back fence (18 yards)and quiet. In .22 you might need two pumps for the velocity. Three pumps give you decent power when you need it. This pistol is great for a short target session... No pumps no CO2 just pump and go for a few rounds.
Things I would have changed:I would love a cut-out in the case for a red dot.
What others should know:More balanced free hand than my 1720T (no taco hold), with three pumps it is not as powerful as the 1720T but it is still more than other common multi-pump pistols. I really like it. It is worth the money. With three pumps it does make noise. Webley web site indicates four pumps are the max for the Ultra I only tried it once. I do not need the power for paper and cans. 80% of the time one pump works for what I do. I use a Prod for sporting needs.

Every year Esquire magazine comes out with an issue where the famous and successful share tips on life, money, getting along with others, morality, etc.
I thought it would be cool to do a first annual "What I've Learned" on the non-baseball side of the board.
These don't have to be original- good gracious, I'm not sure there is an original idea under the sun anyway- just little pieces of wisdom you've picked up along the way that have worked for you in some way in your life. Or just a tidbit that adds something positive to the world.
I'll throw up one from Hugh Heffner:
"When you are in a position to not be a nice person, that's when you find out who you really are."
Or one of my own: "Just because they look the same, yellow cake mix and pancake batter do not taste the same."
I'm expecting Falls City Beer to get us started.

KATHMANDU, NOV 29 - Thursday brought with it a shocker for fans and well-wishers of Manisha Koirala in Nepal and India. Reports that the 42-year-old actress has suspected cancer spread like wildfire across the countries, with the media awash with unconfirmed reports of her having cancer of the ovary and metastasis in the liver.
"It is probably cancer of the ovary with metastasis in the liver," a medical source in Kathmandu told the Post. Liver metastases are cancerous tumours that spread to the organ from other parts of the body. Family sources in Kathmandu maintained that tests were still on and that it was too early to say anything for sure.
On Tuesday, Manisha was taken to the Mumbai-based Jaslok Hospital, where she is undergoing various tests.
Following complaints of pain in the abdomen and vomiting, Manisha was admitted to Norvic Hospital in Kathmandu on Sunday, where she was kept for two days. On Tuesday afternoon, Koirala was flown to Mumbai with her mother Sushma accompanying her. Her father Prakash and brother Siddhartha joined them there on Thursday.
In Mumbai, there was no official word from the doctor attending to Manisha. Her relatives were tight-lipped too. Jaslok Hospital, however, refuted the reports. "Reports that Manisha has been diagnosed with cancer are rumours," the Spokesperson of the hospital, Krishnakant Dasyam, told the Post over telephone from Mumbai. "She was admitted after she complained of discomfort. Some medical tests have been completed and we are awaiting the results," he added. He claimed that Manisha is 'moving around and is absolutely fine.'
As reports of Manisha's ill health spread, social networking sites saw a deluge of messages from fans and well-wishers praying for her speedy recovery. Leader of the opposition in the lower house of the Indian parliament, Sushma Swaraj, tweeted, "I am deeply concerned at Manisha Koirala's health. Koirala family is close to us. She is like a daughter to me. Pray she is well soon."
Manisha, who is also fondly called Manya or Manu, made her Bollywood debut in Saudagar in 1991 and has recently made a comeback with Bhoot Returns.

It's "team-killing with magic" season again.
Paradox Interactive has finally unveiled the first gameplay footage for the upcoming Magicka: Wizard Wars. The player versus player title will allow participants to take control of different wily wizards in an attempt to wreck havoc on each other in the most magically brutal ways possible. Check out the trailer above and the screenshots for some of the game's spells below.
Two teams with four wizards each will be composed, and the objective is to wipe out the opposition. An interesting little twist is friendly fire. While you can summon the most awe-inspiring elemental attacks, you can also risk hurting your team-mates if you're not careful. It adds a whole new meaning to the term "team-killer" when you just might want to prioritize victory over the lives of your comrades.
Paradox is currently inviting participants for the game's Alpha, which you can sign up for here…if you dare, of course.

At first glance, this might seem to be a quiet Firstbird survey. Not a lot of responses — probably fewer than a hundred. But when you look at the birds, there's nothing quiet going on here at all.

Below is the poem entitled Three Messengers which was written by poet
Alixopulos. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Ahellas Alixopulos
Old and ugly and well married is the visage
that I carry, and yet, there is another world
that keeps opening up its magic door.
It sends me notes and emissaries
that I could be,
I should be much more than what I am.
The first message, that I was aware of
came to me in the high desert where
I sat Walden-like by a pool trying to
get back to the source, I'm told, is
within us all.
Suddenly I saw a flurry
a mile across the valley floor,
a point took flight and became
a mystic preying mantis
that picked my shoulder as a perch.
Mid day church bells rang
at that moment and I watched
the sound reverberate
shaking bushes and trees
down the valley, scattering
birds and small animals.
Yet the mantis on my shoulder
calmly sat, cocked its head,
and in its eyes there was a question.
I replied to the mantis' query that
"I was old and ugly and well married and
I am simply not quite ready,
but keep the offer open and
I will be ready soon."
After a month of worrying that
perhaps I had gone too far,
in refusing to go through an open door,
I summoned it again.
Right there in my backyard I heard
a flurry and found a grasshopper perched
where you had perched before.
The question in its eyes left no doubt
it again was you.
I replied that I just wanted to make sure
that the offer you had proffered still
was mine to take.
You flew away as I explained that
"I was old and ugly and well married and
simply still not quite ready but keep the offer open,
and I'll be ready soon."
Years went by and I forgot the magic,
indeed, avoided magic.
I went to a marriage yesterday,
I sat alone, away from the others,
on a bridge, by a pond,
amongst tall pines and redwoods.
I thought again of the mystic mantis.
Suddenly you were there.
You came out of a crowd of happy guests
and crossed into my solitary space.
You touched my shoulder and my hand
and kept it there for the fastest hour.
We talked about nature and
books we had both read,
the giant puppets you made,
and about things
I'd never tell a stranger.
I looked into your eyes
and realized
that we had met at least
twice before and saw the familiar offer.
In my mind I pleaded for more time because
I am old and ugly and well married,
but please, please keep the offer open
because I'll be ready soon.
Suddenly you were gone.

Online dating is the "New Dating", which is why if you are a single Latina, you need to be on an online dating site! The amazing thing about online dating sites is that you just need one! While it is true that this sexy Latina is on every dating site you can think of (except the ones that clearly do not apply), I want you to know that it really just takes one. You might ask, which one? I would love to say that there is some awesome dating site that caters to the needs of today's smart, sexy, and professional Latina, but I have yet to find it. Even so, as it stands I am meeting some amazing men from a fun, clever, and personalized one- please just search for "free online dating" and the top 5 should be helpful.
So what's so good about online dating? Let me ask you this, how long has it been since you've been on a date?! Mujer, I don't buy your, "I want marriage and children some day", if there is no thoughtfulness and action behind this desire. No, it is not enough to go to work and come home and then think that your Principe Azul will find you while you catch up on episodes of Caso Cerrado or La Pola. How can he? He can't. So, you must get out there! Es tu vida, live it!
The Good
There's hundreds even thousands of prospects and I guarantee, you are exactly who someone is looking for! There's not a lot of work involved! Once you have set up your profile, the knocks on the virtual door will keep on coming. There will be wonderful, interesting, and amazing men flocking to you- the beautiful, smart, and equally amazing Latina that you are! It is a confidence boost that all these men want to get to know you, treat you like la reina that you are, and maybe one day be the new love of your life. You get the opportunity to be proactive about something you want in your life- a good man! Start imagining having this special man in your life and believe that he is out there, because he is! Get started, because it is very GOOD:
- Opening an account is easy (and most times FREE)
- You choose how you want to be seen (by pics you choose & what you share)
- You create the image of the man you want (when answering "what are you looking for?")
- You are in control
- You have options, options, options!
The Bad
You were getting excited hearing about this amazing man and how you have all the options in the world, right? Here's the thing. Like anything else, you must take the good with the bad or better yet make the most of the good that you do have. Online dating is frustrating because you will run into the non-amazing guys and you will have frustrating experiences, but that is not enough to throw out the awesome possibilities that await you! Still, the bad part about online dating is:
- Great profile, but totally not your my type (read: unattractive)
- Great pictures, but totally not your type (read: loser/jerk)
- A really cute guy writes to you, but has nothing to say.
- An amazing guy writes to you, but he mentions "sex" already?!
- You find "the perfect man" (read: profile is everything you want to hear and he is incredibly handsome) and you write to him, but he never writes back.
- Or he does write back, but basically disappears after the next back and forth.
- There's a guy you like and it seems he likes you with all the messages back and forth, but he never asks you out.
- A decent guy with an impressive profile writes to you, but seems obsessed with getting more pictures ("Can you send me another pic!").
The Ugly
No one likes "ugly" behavior, but it exists and I want you to be fully informed and prepared. As a grown woman, you know rejection is part of life, but it is possible that this can get ugly on online dating sites. Again, the positives for being on an online site far outweigh the negatives. There will be many occasions that you will have to reject a man that contacts you. You can choose to handle this by ignoring someone you are not interested in or by sending a quick message, "thanks, but no thanks." Sometimes ignoring is best. This is where some men use the anonymous (you do not know his real name in most cases or how to find him) nature of these online dating sites to rip into women. Please "block" people who mistreat you. On the rare occasion, you will find ugly:
- The man (read: immature and mean baby boy) becomes a bully and calls you insulting names
- The man sends harassing messages to convince you that you should be interested
- The man takes really low blows and upon being rejected retaliates with insults about your pictures or statements made in your profile
There's more good than bad
I will always encourage my Latina sisters to be proactive in meeting someone special- that means being out in the world, enjoying life, and being the woman you want to be! Online dating is an amazing opportunity to keep being proactive, allows you to date more often which is practice and helps you see what you do want in a partner and what you definitely do not want. Online dating is about connecting, but more importantly, getting OFF LINE and meeting in person! If there is a mutual connection, you can tell a guy online, "hey when are you gonna ask me out? ;)" -yes add the WINK! You will get frustrated on this journey, but so what? Keep going and do not rule out guys just because to you they are not super hot gorgeous- think of it like this, give a guy a chance if on a scale of 1-10 he is at least a 6! Isn't that what you would like the guy looking at you to do? And let the man step up as a man. I no longer generally write to men, but I might send a "wink" and if the only option to get his attention is writing to him, I generally say something funny and neutral related to something he wrote in his profile, but my objective is just to put myself out there without an expectation that he will respond. Why? I only want men to respond to me if they are truly interested not because they feel they have to. And that's the kind of man you want- He is truly interested in you! So, mi'ja, get out there, online and offline! He's waiting for you!

What is wrist lump?
A wrist lump is an abnormal protrusion or bump on the wrist. Anyone can develop wrist lumps, which are often the result of an injury, such as a blow to the wrist or overuse.
Wrist Health Spotlight
Wrist lumps may result from inflammation (swelling), a broken bone, an infection of the wrist, a growth, such as a cyst or tumor, or a variety of other conditions. Inflammation of the wrist can occur from tendinitis, arthritis, bursitis or gout. Possible wrist injuries include sprains, strains and fractures. Growths on the wrist can be benign, such as a cyst, or cancerous, such as a tumor.
Treatment for wrist lump depends on the cause of the lump. If your wrist lump is not uncomfortable, it may not require treatment. If the wrist lump is related to inflammation, anti-inflammatory medications or steroids may help improve your symptoms. Pain medications may also help to alleviate any pain that occurs with your wrist lump. Serious cases may require surgery.
Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you have wrist lump and serious symptoms, including paralysis of the hands or fingers; deformity of the wrist, hands or fingers; severe injury; or a high fever (higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit).
Seek prompt medical care for painful lumps on the wrist or lumps that interfere with your range of motion. If your wrist lump is persistent or causes you concern, or if you suspect a broken bone, seek prompt medical care.
What other symptoms might occur with wrist lump?
Wrist lump may accompany other symptoms, which vary depending on the underlying disease, disorder or condition.... Read more about wrist lumpsymptoms
What causes wrist lump?
Wrist lump is often caused by an injury, such as blow to the wrist. It may also be related to conditions that cause swelling of the wrist, such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or gout. A benign growth or tumor may also be responsible for the lump. If you have recently injured your wrist, the lump may be due to bone healing.... Read more about wrist lumpcauses

Half term activities at Farmland Museum, IWM Duxford and E-Luminate Cambridge Festival prove a hit with families
Posted: February 20, 2014|
Families dived into art, technology and history as they made the most of half term activities at three popular Cambridgeshire attractions yesterday.
IWM Duxford and The Farmland Museum in Waterbeach both attracted bumper crowds for their holiday activities, while a series of awe-inspiring science workshops captured young imaginations at the ongoing e-Luminate Cambridge Festival.
At the South Cambridgeshire airfield youngsters learned more about the story of Big Week – the bombing campaign that paved the way for the D-Day landings in World War Two.
Storytelling sessions and craft activities, including making badges and paper aircraft, ran throughout the day.
Esther Blaine, from IWM, said: "We were absolutely delighted to see so many visitors for our half term activities, particularly after our temporary closure at the weekend due to damage caused by high winds.
"The activities have been running since Tuesday and have proved to be very popular with visitors of all ages."
Meanwhile, the Denny Abbey museum hosted Light and Shade from 4.30pm – an event which tied into Cambridge University Museums' 'Twilight at the Museums' programme.
As dusk faded into night, a pathway of sparkling light led visitor toward the historic abbey lit up for the occasion, while in the visitor centre families took part in a range of activities, including making their own framed silhouette.
There was also a trail around the site, a reading of the Denny ghost story, and warming refreshments.
Ann Wise, museum manager, said: "It was fantastic to see the museum and abbey transformed at night time and it truly became a magical place."
And over at Makespace, in Cambridge's Mill Road, the e-Luminate Festival – supported by the News – held the first ever 'Make a Hybrid Toy Car and LED Lantern´ workshop in partnership with Panasonic.
Children aged 6 to 15 explored possible answers to environmental challenges of the future by trying sustainable technologies and materials as they got to work building.
The festival aims to bring together ambitious art with imaginative technology to draw attention to low carbon innovation. Events run until Sunday.

Gear Review
Damon Salter
Style kids love, safety and fit parents love
I got this helmet for my 2-year old in XS. Even thought the helmet doesn't have an ergodial adjustment as described in copy I actually see that as a benefit now. I used one of the included extra pads to dial in the fit for my son and it was perfect! I really appreciate that there is not a side gap in the helmet like you see on so many of the universal fit helmets. This helmet never flops to the side, front or back, good fit is key. The styling is great. I wanted this helmet because the back was nice and round and doesn't tend to push over the eyes when used with a burley trailer or car set. I also like the styling because it can be used for Bike, BMX, or skateboarding. The helmet is a little on the expensive side comparing it to others but well worth it.

Jury Duty II
Serving as a juror is quite a task and I'm coming home pretty drained. But I'm going to keep getting comics up this week (seems I'll be getting them done in the evening rather than having them here first thing in the morning, so Friday's you'll have to check that night or on Saturday morning)…
If you're not familiar with the juvie penguins' strong-arm, Thomas, then catch up here. Or if you're new to the strip, you might want to read more of the juvies' opportunistic schemes.
Getting out of jury duty seems to be the initial plan of anyone getting a jury summons. It says right on the summons, failure to show up may result in being "punished for contempt of court". They can excuse or reschedule you if you have a major event or vacation planned or if it is going to cause and extreme hardship for you. Of course it's going to be a pretty major inconvenience for anyone, but that's just how life is sometimes. Hopefully not, but one day you may need a jury yourself.

You know you've crossed the line when there's more cutout to your gown than there is actual fabric!
Carmen Electra's slinky black look definitely qualifies for that category. The three holes up top are so wide that we can see left and right side boob as well as a good chunk of under arm. Either those fabric slices are poorly tailored or Carmen is trying to make "pit cleavage" a thing (Ed Note: Please forgive us for saying "pit cleavage." We just didn't know what else to call it!)
We can see that the "I Like It Loud" singer attempted to go sophisticated with this style. The sequined long sleeves have a formal, Christmas-time feel, and the bottom is far from her typical mini skirt territory.
But unfortunately, there's no way to wear a gown with a gaping hole in the chest and still come out looking classy. Especially if your accessories are a sky high ponytail and orange skin.

The strange title "Andre Rieu/Various" doesn't tell you much about what is store for you, but you will quickly be caught up in the happily exciting mood and almost feel that you are there, the way the cameras filmed the event. I have never seen Andre Rieu live, but bought this DVD after a friend attended one of his recent concerts and couldn't stop talking about it. I know now why the concert affected him so deeply...I felt the same way after watching the DVD, and so did my husband. The repertoire is great, the singers are excellent and there is a special joyous involvement between the players and the audience that leaves you wanting more. (I have since both another of his DVDs and am very pleased with it as well.)
5.0 out of 5 stars Another masterpiece,

This review is from: Andre Rieu: Romantic Paradise (DVD)
I must admit I purchased this DVD two days after attending a live concert. And it is the best way to experience again the feelings you go through when you attend an Andre Rieu concert. You will sing, you will laugh, you will feel to dance and yes, you will even cry. I have a hard time to find the words to describe properly such a masterpiece. I highly recommend it. Images are out of this world. And the songs.... Incredible. You will discover rapidly that Andre offers you more than a concrt. It is a real party. It is a must for even the most demanding music lover.

James Allen
Even though a local judge wasn't totally pleased with how a murder investigation interrogation was conducted, he said it wasn't enough to warrant a new trial for the defendant.
Criminal Court Judge Robert Cupp's ruling came Wednesday morning at the end of a motion hearing in which James Henry Allen was seeking a new trial.
Allen, 52, of Mount Carmel, was convicted in March for the May 12, 2010, shooting death of Richard H. Carter, 45, of Gray.
Carter was dating Allen's ex-wife, Deborah Franklin, and the shooting occurred at her home in Fall Branch. Allen was convicted of firing a .22-caliber rifle through the front door of Franklin's mobile home.
Three rounds hit Carter, but only one was fatal.
After the shooting, Allen was a prime suspect and Washington County sheriff's officers spent two days looking for him. He was eventually arrested in a wooded area in Fall Branch.
Allen was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
At the motion for new trial hearing Wednesday, Allen's attorneys wanted Cupp to recall the conviction and grant a new trial. Much of the motion was based on the sheriff's office's failure to audio or video record Allen's statement.
Cupp has been vocal about this issue, and he didn't hold back on Wednesday.
"They have those things available and it saves so much time and argument," Cupp said. "It makes a trial so much easier. I don't know how to make them understand that."
Investigator Jeff Miller didn't video record the interview because the equipment was not working properly the day of Allen's arrest, according to his testimony during the trial.
Defense attorney Bill Francisco pointed out Wednesday that during the trial Miller admitted having an audio recorder in his vehicle, but that he opted to not use it. Instead, Miller had meticulous notes of the interview.
But a recording of the interrogation would have cleared up any discrepancies between the investigator and Allen that he was not properly given his Miranda warning.
Francisco called Miller's choice to not retrieve his recorder as a "willful act to not preserve evidence." It's enough, he said, to warrant a new trial.
Francisco said there was no other evidence to indicate Allen was at his ex-wife's home that night — nothing except her assumption it was him and his statement to the investigator that he was outside the residence.
But Cupp said there was plenty more circumstantial evidence the jury could have relied upon to convict Allen, so he denied the motion for a new trial.
"Circumstantially, they didn't have to have the statement," Cupp said.
The state's portion of the hearing was handled by Assistant District Attorney General Dennis Brooks, who also prosecuted the case.
"It's just a premeditated murder," Brooks said. "No other person had any such motive that this defendant."
The next step in the appeals process is for the defense to file an appeal in the Court of Criminal Appeals. There was no indication on Wednesday if that will happen.comments powered by Disqus

- The diversity of forecasts from macroeconomic models of the U.S. economy (2010)
- This paper investigates the accuracy and heterogeneity of output growth and inflation forecasts during the current and the four preceding NBER-dated U.S. recessions. We generate forecasts from six different models of the U.S. economy and compare them to professional forecasts from the Federal Reserve's Greenbook and the Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF). The model parameters and model forecasts are derived from historical data vintages so as to ensure comparability to historical forecasts by professionals. The mean model forecast comes surprisingly close to the mean SPF and Greenbook forecasts in terms of accuracy even though the models only make use of a small number of data series. Model forecasts compare particularly well to professional forecasts at a horizon of three to four quarters and during recoveries. The extent of forecast heterogeneity is similar for model and professional forecasts but varies substantially over time. Thus, forecast heterogeneity constitutes a potentially important source of economic fluctuations. While the particular reasons for diversity in professional forecasts are not observable, the diversity in model forecasts can be traced to different modeling assumptions, information sets and parameter estimates.

- Macroeconomic model comparisons and forecast competition (2012)
- This contribution draws on two recent publications in which the macroeconomic model data base (www.macromodelbase.com) is employed for model comparisons. The comparative approach is used to base policy analysis on a systematic evaluation of the different implications that a certain economic policy can have when submitted to different modeling approaches. In this manner, policy recommendations are more robust to modeling uncertainty. By extending the comparative approach to forecasting, the authors investigate the accuracy of different forecasting models and obtain more reliable mean forecasts.
- Zwei Makroökonomen gewinnen den Nobelpreis (2012)
- In 2011 wurde der Preis für Wirtschaftswissenschaften der schwedischen Reichsbank im Gedenken an Alfred Nobel an die US-Ökonomen Thomas J. Sargent von der New York University und Chistopher A. Sims von Princeton University verliehen. Gerade deutsche Zeitungskommentare kritisierten die Forscher vielfach für die Verwendung "unrealistischer" Annahmen wie Nutzenmaximierung und rationale Erwartungen. Diese Kritik verkennt den maßgeblichen Beitrag von Sargent und Sims zur Entwicklung der modernen Makroökonomik. Ihre empirischen Methoden sind heute Standardwerkzeuge der akademischen Forschung und werden auch von Ökonomen in Zentralbanken, Finanzministerien und internationalen Organisationen eingesetzt. Sie haben grundlegende neue Erkenntnisse ermöglicht, zum Beispiel über die Wirkungsweise der Geld- und Fiskalpolitik.
- A new comparative approach to macroeconomic modeling and policy analysis (2012)
- In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, the state of macroeconomic modeling and the use of macroeconomic models in policy analysis has come under heavy criticism. Macroeconomists in academia and policy institutions have been blamed for relying too much on a particular class of macroeconomic models. This paper proposes a comparative approach to macroeconomic policy analysis that is open to competing modeling paradigms. Macroeconomic model comparison projects have helped produce some very influential insights such as the Taylor rule. However, they have been infrequent and costly, because they require the input of many teams of researchers and multiple meetings to obtain a limited set of comparative findings. This paper provides a new approach that enables individual researchers to conduct model comparisons easily, frequently, at low cost and on a large scale. Using this approach a model archive is built that includes many well-known empirically estimated models that may be used for quantitative analysis of monetary and fiscal stabilization policies. A computational platform is created that allows straightforward comparisons of models' implications. Its application is illustrated by comparing different monetary and fiscal policies across selected models. Researchers can easily include new models in the data base and compare the effects of novel extensions to established benchmarks thereby fostering a comparative instead of insular approach to model development.
- Monetary policy and uncertainty about the natural unemployment rate (2003)
- Inflation-targeting central banks have only imperfect knowledge about the effect of policy decisions on inflation. An important source of uncertainty is the relationship between inflation and unemployment. This paper studies the optimal monetary policy in the presence of uncertainty about the natural unemployment rate, the short-run inflation-unemployment tradeoff and the degree of inflation persistence in a simple macroeconomic model, which incorporates rational learning by the central bank as well as private sector agents. Two conflicting motives drive the optimal policy. In the static version of the model, uncertainty provides a motive for the policymaker to move more cautiously than she would if she knew the true parameters. In the dynamic version, uncertainty also motivates an element of experimentation in policy. I find that the optimal policy that balances the cautionary and activist motives typically exhibits gradualism, that is, it still remains less aggressive than a policy that disregards parameter uncertainty. Exceptions occur when uncertainty is very high and in inflation close to target.
- Learning, endogenous indexation and disinflation in the New-Keynesian Model (2008)
- This paper introduces adaptive learning and endogenous indexation in the New-Keynesian Phillips curve and studies disinflation under inflation targeting policies. The analysis is motivated by the disinflation performance of many inflation-targeting countries, in particular the gradual Chilean disinflation with temporary annual targets. At the start of the disinflation episode price-setting firms' expect inflation to be highly persistent and opt for backward-looking indexation. As the central bank acts to bring inflation under control, price-setting firms revise their estimates of the degree of persistence. Such adaptive learning lowers the cost of disinflation. This reduction can be exploited by a gradual approach to disinflation. Firms that choose the rate for indexation also re-assess the likelihood that announced inflation targets determine steady-state inflation and adjust indexation of contracts accordingly. A strategy of announcing and pursuing short-term targets for inflation is found to influence the likelihood that firms switch from backward-looking indexation to the central bank's targets. As firms abandon backward-looking indexation the costs of disinflation decline further. We show that an inflation targeting strategy that employs temporary targets can benefit from lower disinflation costs due to the reduction in backward-looking indexation.
- Quantitative easing: a rationale and some evidence from Japan (2009)
- This paper reviews the rationale for quantitative easing when central bank policy rates reach near zero levels in light of recent announcements regarding direct asset purchases by the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. Empirical evidence from the previous period of quantitative easing in Japan between 2001 and 2006 is presented. During this earlier period the Bank of Japan was able to expand the monetary base very quickly and significantly. Quantitative easing translated into a greater and more lasting expansion of M1 relative to nominal GDP. Deflation subsided by 2005. As soon as inflation appeared to stabilize near a rate of zero, the Bank of Japan rapidly reduced the monetary base as a share of nominal income as it had announced in 2001. The Bank was able to exit from extensive quantitative easing within less than a year. Some implications for the current situation in Europe and the United States are discussed.
- Fiscal stimulus and the promise of future spending cuts: a comment (2009)
- Recent evaluations of the fiscal stimulus packages recently enacted in the United States and Europe such as Cogan, Cwik, Taylor and Wieland (2009) and Cwik and Wieland (2009) suggest that the GDP effects will be modest due to crowding-out of private consumption and investment. Corsetti, Meier and Mueller (2009a,b) argue that spending shocks are typically followed by consolidations with substantive spending cuts, which enhance the short-run stimulus effect. This note investigates the implications of this argument for the estimated impact of recent stimulus packages and the case for discretionary fiscal policy.
- Dem Druck standhalten (2013)
- Für ein Ende der expansiven Geldpolitik ist es zu früh. Doch wenn die Inflationserwartungen steigen, muss die EZB trotz aller Widerstände den Leitzins erhöhen.
- Stellungnahme zum Antrag der SPD-Fraktion auf Einführung einer Finanztransaktionssteuer in Europa (2011)
- Die Finanztransaktionssteuer ist kein geeignetes Instrument zur Verringerung systemischer Risiken, noch ein Mittel zur Vorbeugung einer Finanzkrise. Da sie zudem nur in Deutschland, Frankreich und einzelnen anderen Staaten eingeführt würde, wäre das Steueraufkommen, aufgrund von Steuerumgehung durch Verlagerung von Finanztransaktionen ins Ausland, gering.

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — A prosecutor began opening statements in George Zimmerman's trial Monday with obscene words the neighborhood watch volunteer whispered under his breath while following 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
"F------ punks," prosecutor John Guy said to six female jurors, quoting Zimmerman from a call he made to a police dispatcher shortly before his fatal confrontation with Martin. "These a-------. They always get away."
Guy told the jurors that Zimmerman profiled Martin "as someone about to commit a crime in his neighborhood."
"And he acted on it. That's why we're here."
Zimmerman followed Martin through his neighborhood, confronted him and then fatally shot him during a fight, Guy said.
"George Zimmerman didn't shoot Trayvon Martin because he had to," Guy said. "He shot him for the worst of all reasons: because he wanted to."
The prosecutor described Zimmerman as someone who wanted to be a police officer, and he dismantled the story Zimmerman has told investigators about what happened during the fight between the neighborhood watch volunteer and the Miami-area teen that left Martin dead from a bullet to his chest.
Zimmerman's claim that Martin had his hands over the neighborhood watch volunteer's mouth is false since none of Zimmerman's DNA was found on Martin's body, Guy said. The prosecutor also said Zimmerman's claim that he had to fire because Martin was reaching for his firearm is false since none of Martin's DNA was on the gun or holster.
Zimmerman is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder, claiming self-defense. His defense attorney was to present his opening statements following those of the prosecution.
On Feb. 26, 2012, Zimmerman spotted Martin, whom he did not recognize, walking in the gated townhome community where Zimmerman and the fiancee of Martin's father lived. There had been a rash of recent break-ins and Zimmerman was wary of strangers walking through the complex.
The two eventually got into a struggle and Zimmerman shot Martin in the chest with his 9mm handgun. He was charged 44 days after the shooting, only after a special prosecutor was appointed to review the case and after protests. The delay in the arrest prompted protests nationwide.
Two police dispatch phone calls will be important evidence for both sides' cases.
The first is a call Zimmerman made to a nonemergency police dispatcher, who told him he didn't need to be following Martin.
The second 911 call captures screams from the confrontation between Zimmerman and Martin. Martin's parents said the screams are from their son while Zimmerman's father contends they belong to his son.
Nelson ruled last weekend that audio experts for the prosecution won't be able to testify that the screams belong to Martin, saying the methods the experts used were unreliable.

Contrary to reports earlier today that speculated that Watch The Throne, Kanye West and Jay-Z's highly anticipated new collaborative album, would be released on July 4, VH1 can exclusively confirm that the record will NOT be dropping on our nation's birthday. We spoke to sources close to Jay-Z's management team earlier today who have direct knowledge of the album's release plans, and they confirmed that the rumored July 4th release date is "not happening." Sorry to ruin your holiday, folks!

Visually impressive slasher films?
Just finished Night School (which I loved by the way), and I gotta agree with rhett about how beautiful the cinematography is, what are some your favorite slashers that are visually striking?
Off the top of my head I think of Halloween, Happy Birthday to Me, My Bloody Valentine, and Just Before Dawn.
Night School, Happy Birthday to Me, Alice Sweet Alice, Black Christmas, Tower of Evil, Night Warning, Ghost Keeper,
Actually there are a lot. Many are not typical views of beauty, but I think most of the golden age even with low budgets managed their surroundings well. House on Sorority Row has lazy moments, but also a few dozen stunning shots. The music helps too.
I love the natural feel of Friday the 13th, the Euro-feel of Madhouse, and the New York grime of Maniac and The Driller Killer. The New York Ripper is especially beautiful, which is crazy considering its subject matter.
Glad you dug Night School, buddy.
Good looking slashers I can think of off the top of my head:
10 to Midnight (Slick and has the sheen that Adam Greenberg would bring to the Terminator flicks)
Dressed to Kill (DePalma, lots of great showpiece sequences)
Blow Out (see above, but even more so and better)
Prom Night (always liked the soft focus, and the prank phone call scenes are done quite well)
Terror Train (impressive in a different way, since Kubrick's DP was using mostly available light in closed quarters)
Deadly Blessing (been awhile with this, but I remember some great compositions and usage of light and dark)
Halloween 5 (say what you will about the movie, but it's got a kinetic European visual sensibility)
Next of Kin (been awhile with this too, but it had some nice Hitchcockian moments)
If you add in gialli, you've got way more to chose from, but the stuff Vittorio Storraro did (The Bird with the Crystal Plumage and The Fifth Cord especially) is the cream of the crop and probably better looking than any slasher films to boot.
And pretty much all the Elm Street movies with their dreamy aesthetic and wacked logic.
ooh yeah I totally agree with Alice, Sweet Alice, Dressed to Kill, Prom Night (I too like the soft focus!), and Black Christmas.
as a side note, rhett, Blow Out is one of my favorite films of all time. Gotta love DePalma!
MY BLOODY VALENTINE and THE PROWLER are both well shot,the former makes great use of it's natural locations and is impressively lit while the later has a soft focus,dream like atmosphere.
A lot of the exterior shots of Bereavement (2010) were quite beautiful (interiors were way too dark though).
When rewatching my Anchor Bay disc of Madman recently I was struck by the style of the composition and lighting.
Blow Out, very stylish.
Madman has some gorgeous compositions - the silhouette shots of Marz remind me of those ancient shadow plays, and the shot of him advancing down the hall with the girl trying to find a hiding place in the kitchen is extremely elegant, using the layout of the room to create a split screen.
Black Christmas, of course, has that zoom on the killer's eye. It may not be technical wizardry, but it is an iconic and quite unsettling image.
A lot of the post Scream movies are pretty to look at. I Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legend, Valentine, etc.
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane and Cold Prey were also easy on the eyes.
The French film Deep In The Woods is a great example of a visually impressive Slasher. A lot of great imagery and some very inventive camera work. It's pretty low rated on IMDB which I don't understand - maybe people were watching the dubbed version and the dubbing was really shitty? Sure the plot isn't going to blow you away, but it's very entertaining and visually I think it's pretty amazing.
The Final Terror. Its visual aesthetic does wonders in deepening the mood of the film.
Halloween (1978) (The blue hues and that always impressive 2.35 scope which Carpenter used to great effect)
The Prowler (1981) (like Night School, also shot with a similar soft focus)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) (Jacques Haitkin really brought a high budget look to this considerably low budget feature)
Madman (1982) (This film actually looks fantastic, as long as you're not watching the Code Red DVD)
The Boogeyman (1980) (As a whole, the film is nothing to gawk at. But the opening sequence is beautifully shot and the Argento/Bava influence is apparent.)

Hi pals! I hope all are doing great job. Do you love shopping right? Yes of course everyone loves shopping but t before you purchase a product have you ever test free samples? It is very much important to test the free samples in order to find the quality of a product. Today many companies are giving the opportunity to the consumers to test their quality products by offering sample products and real freebies. It is a part of promotional strategy that is adopted by many companies to promote their new products. Generally these companies are used to install booths near the shop or at the entrance of the shop so that they can catch the attraction of more customers. But since after the invention of internet there are many websites in the web promoting all kinds of free samples no surveys, trial offers, sample products and real freebies. Through online you can actually test many free trial versions for a particular material or product if it didn't satisfy your expectations then you can return it back with no cost. People who use the promotional freebies are benefited a lot because it them to save their money. So dear pals just check it out in web to find many varieties of free stuffs.

Surfers linking sites to guestbooks
I maintain our school's web page which has a guestbook. I'm having problems with "surfers" apparently skimming sites for guestbooks and they then sign in with things like "cool site, keep up the good work" and then they leave links to their business web pages. I have a warning posted that all postings left that way will be removed and they are. Is there a method, other than just removing the guestbook completely, that can prevent them from doing this? I suspect they're using a java script or some such just skimming web pages looking for guestbooks to use in this manner. Appreciate any advice you can give me.

Session C11: Invited Session: Quantum Communication and Cryptography
2:30 PM–5:30 PM, Monday, March 18, 2013
Room: 310
Sponsoring Units: GQI DAMOP
Chair: Mark Wilde, McGill University and Louisiana State University
Abstract ID: BAPS.2013.MAR.C11.3
Abstract: C11.00003 : Fully device-independent quantum key distribution
Preview Abstract View Presentation MathJax On | Off Abstract
Thomas Vidick
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT))
The laws of quantum mechanics allow unconditionally secure key distribution protocols. Nevertheless, security proofs of traditional quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols rely on a crucial assumption, the trustworthiness of the quantum devices used in the protocol. In device-independent QKD, even this last assumption is relaxed: the devices used in the protocol may have been adversarially prepared, and there is no a priori guarantee that they perform according to specification. Proving security in this setting had been a central open problem in quantum cryptography. We give the first device-independent proof of security of a protocol for quantum key distribution that guarantees the extraction of a linear amount of key even when the devices are subject to a constant rate of noise. Our only assumptions are that the laboratories in which each party holds his or her own device are spatially isolated, and that both devices, as well as the eavesdropper, are bound by the laws of quantum mechanics. All previous proofs of security relied either on the use of many independent pairs of devices, or on the absence of noise.

Homeschooling mom and blogger Debbie Harbeson has been featuring interviews with homechooling parents to showcase the fun and freedom of homeschooling across the U.S., but on Monday she broadened her net to include Sybille Kramer, a homeschooling mom in Italy! Debbie writes:
"I met Sybille while on one of my twisting, turning trips on the internet and somehow ended up at the top of the boot-shaped country. She lives in South Tyrol, Italy and blogs about her family here.
Sybille speaks German and Italian but very little English. She is trying to learn and one way she works on it is to read homeschooling blogs from English language writers.
She used google's online translation to help her answer my questions and was relieved when I told her not to worry because I would correct any spelling and grammar.
I did change a couple places for readability, but you will see that I kept her answers pretty much as she wrote them to me. It just seems more authentic this way."
Continue reading Debbie's interview with Sybille.
