Match Preview
The British & Irish Lions have named a strong side for this opening fixture against an invitational Royal XV in the first match of the 2009 British & Irish Lions tour.
Lions skipper Paul O'Connell leads the side out in the first match of the tour in what will surely be a show of physical domination as quickly as possible in the tour. Having protected 2005 skipper Brian O'Driscoll in the opening three matches of the New Zealand tour, putting out a strong side and giving the skipper a run out in the first game of 2009 will surely be seen as a sign of what is to come later in the tour.
The real story though is that 'bolter' Keith Earls gets an early opportunity to show what he can do in the Lions camp. Earls is on a bit of a tough task having to compete with International colleague Brian O'Driscoll for the 13 shirt, but given his appearances for Munster in this seasons Heineken Cup and coupled with the fact that the Bok's will be unlikely to have done their research on him properly he remains a very real prospect to feature in the tests at some point.
The Royals XV are not expected put up much of a resistance to the Lions pack. A large number of the players feature in the second tier of South African rugby competition, however there are a handful of players who have featured in the Super 14 including scrum half Sarel Potigieter, Naas Oliver, Bjorn Basson and Bees Roux of the Cheetahs and Deon van Rensburg of the (Golden) Lions. The Royal XV squad contains 13 Vodacom Cup-winning Griquas, 8 Leopards and one Puma. There has to be a joke in there somewhere…?
Royals Skipper Wilhelm Koch has previous Lions experience in his family as he is a relative of the former Springbok prop Chris Koch who faced the 1955 British Lions.
Lions-Tour.com Prediction
The Royals are a fairly weak side but will be looking to give a good account of themselves in what will undoubtedly be the pinnacle of their careers. However the Lions are far too strong for the local side and the Royals will do well to keep the score below 50 points.

I got there before Eagle Claw started and got a text from Razor_shark, so I met up with him and Natrlhi outside the venue and shot the shit for about a half an hour or so before they had to head out. I went back into Red 7 for Eagle Claw; who is a great local instrumental metal band. Acrassicauda came up next and gave us a solid slab of thrash on a Tuesday night. You can definitely hear the Metallica/Testament influence in their stuff and it even has a Death sound to it at times. You can also pick up on some Middle Eastern influence in the guitars and drums, but not to the extent of something like Melechesh. A good showing from these guys, they have a lot of potential so hopefully they can flesh it out into their own sound because they definitely have the talent to do so.
Were you the guy in the blue Primus shirt with the weed with some chick's lipstick (or something) on the joint?

100 Years Ago
Lanes, June 15 - All the comforts of home have nothing on the model and most modern shooting-box, ready next quail season, that is being built here for Mr. B.M. Baruch, of New York and Georgetown.
This box will have in addition to all the comforts of home, all those of a first rate hotel. Why are these things called boxes? They are, quite truly, very roomy and very convenient cottages.
This place of Mr. Baruchs will have its own water works, its own gas-plant, its own sanitary and drainage system, its own electric installation, etc.
There are owners rooms, guests rooms and employees rooms; there are gun rooms and living rooms and dining rooms. About the only thing lacking is a parrot cage; and the understanding is that Mr. Baruch doesnt fancy parrots.
Mr. J.R. Powell is the architect and builder, and Capt. T.S. Daggett, of Georgetown, is the sanitary engineer.

In both Georgetown and Andrews a Childrens Corner in the library has been arranged for the Worlds Fair Reading Club. Posters and books have made this corner attractive. The Georgetown city library is open to the public from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. until further notice.
Times Tattles by I.D. Clare Hon. M.W. Pyatt remarking that there is a big difference between a farm and a plantation.
A farm, said he, is a place where you are supposed to raise crops to make a living, while a plantation is a place where it costs you money to live and is to be used as a winter residence and hunting preserve.

Georgetown Countys 1989 shrimp season, which opened June 1, is off to a good start, state officials say.
It looks real good for the brown shrimp season in Georgetown. It was better than what we anticipated, what the boats caught, said Andy Jennings, port agent with the State Marine Resources Division.
There were also reports of more white shrimp in areas waters than was previously thought, he said. Since the opening day, Georgetown shrimp landings have totaled 2,500 pounds.
The outlook for the remainder of Georgetown Countys shrimp season, which ends in December, will be good if several factors are consistent, Jennings said.
Water salinity, winds, and rainfall amounts help determine the outcome. Our shrimp season last year was terrible, he said.

Game On, which fishes out of Charleston Harbor Marina, captured the top prize in the 37th annual Georgetown Landing Marina Blue Marlin Tournament, the fourth of five events comprising the South Carolina Governors Cup Billfishing Series.

Third place went to Fish Wrapper, owned by Phyllis Smoak of Charleston, also with a blue marlin release. Dianne Williams, aboard Murrells Inlets Insane-O, was the top female angler with a 42.2-pound wahoo, a 18.6-pound tuna and a 14.4-pound dolphin.

INDIANAPOLIS - Senior forward Jon Enders netted a goal to put the Musketeers up early but the Xavier University men's soccer team had to settle for a 1-1 tie in exhibition action with Butler on Saturday afternoon in Indianapolis.
Enders' goal came at the 25:49 mark when he hit a header off a cross from Andy Dimbi into the back of the net from 10-yards out.
Butler's equalizer came less than five minutes later. Frank Patano took a feed from David Giapratana and drilled it by the diving Adam Sokolowski.
Neither side was able to put in the game-winner as each team was only able to muster three shots on goal. Sokolowski made one save in 55:53 of action while freshman Ryan Engelmann stopped the only shot he was challenged with in 34:07 as the XU goalkeeper.
The Musketeers kick-off their 2007 season on Friday, August 31 when they square-off against UC Davis at 7:30 p.m. in the second match of the Ramada Xavier Challenge. The XU vs. UC Davis match will be preceded by a contest featuring UNLV and Pittsburgh at 5 p.m. All action takes place at the XU Soccer Complex.

Designated gifts give boost to college
From the The Brunswick News
TheĀCollege of Coastal GeorgiaĀFoundation decided to change its strategy when it set a lofty fundraising goal of $1.5 million a year ago.
Foundation members decided to empower potential donors by giving them the option of designating where their contributions could be used. It proved to be more successful than they could have imagined.
The foundation received more than $3.4 million in contributions from 572 donors -- a new record for both the amount raised and the number of contributors.
"We became more interested about our giving strategies," college president Valerie Hepburn said. "We were able to give them very clear giving opportunities. When people give in the area they love, they get more engaged."
It didn't take much time before foundation members realized the new approach was going to help them exceed the fundraising goal established at the beginning of last year.
Hepburn said major gifts made a difference in many ways.
"The most obvious one is the Correll Center (for Teacher Education and Learning)," she said. "It could not have been the size it is without that private gift."
College officials said they were asked not to reveal the exact amount donated by former Georgia Pacific Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Pete Correll and his wife, Ada Lee Correll, to support the center when the donation was announced last year, other than to say it exceeded $500,000.
Foundation Chair Rees M. Sumerford said it's important to support the college and higher education.
"It's better for our students, for our community and for our society as a whole," he said. "The foundation views it as the top priority for economic and cultural viability in southeastern Georgia."
Hepburn said foundation members don't feel added pressure this year to raise more than they did in 2012, though she won't be surprised if they exceed the goal for 2013, which is $1.75 million.
"Every year we've set a new record," Hepburn said. "We think we'll have a good year."
When asked why the foundation didn't set a goal as large as the amount raised last year, she said the college will be going through a transition year as it continues to search for new president. Hepburn has accepted another position in the state university system and will start her new job at the end of the current academic semester, which ends in May.
"We don't want to be overly optimistic," she said.
She said foundation trustees are responsible for the success the college has had with fundraisers.
"The real credit goes to our trustees because they are all volunteers," she said. "We have incredible trustees."
In addition to going toward new facilities, foundation dollars are used for student scholarships, campus programming, faculty development and endowments, athletic programming and student housing.

Achy, Lahcen and Rigar, Sidi Mohamed (2005): Déterminants de la structure financière des entreprises manufacturières au Maroc.
Download (7MB) | Preview
The purpose of this paper is to investigate empirically the determinants of financial structure in the Moroccan manufacturing firms. The paper contributes to the empirical literature on capital structure in developing countries. It relies on the data collected by the Firm Analysis and Competitiveness Survey (FACS) carried out in 2000 by the Ministry of trade and industry, and the World Bank. Our findings suggest that firms have relatively high debt ratios composed mainly of short maturity debt. However, their capital structure seems to match the nature of their assets in which tangible assets are underrepresented. Our empirical analysis uses four different measures of leverage and shows that the four main determinants of financial structure in the Moroccan manufacturing firms are the share of tangible assets in total assets, firm's age, its size, and the structure of its ownership. However, the nature of the relationship between these variables and leverage depends on the specific measure used and tends to differ with previous findings in the empirical literature.

Blizzard has mentioned that they've been working on one of these for a while, and it's nice to see the results. If you look closely you'll see things like when the Darkmoon Faire is coming, and when the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravagenza is happening. It doesn't show what PvP weekend it is, but I have to believe that's something they'll be working on.
Check out the screenshots below for the new UI. I'm sure you'll be happy!

Volunteer Naturalists play a vital role in leading public tours of ICF's headquarters in southern Wisconsin. Photo by Deb Johnson, ICF volunteer.
Volunteers are invited to participate in special field trips, learning opportunities, behind-the-scenes events and social gatherings.
Volunteers receive a free, one year ICF membership, which includes four issues of ICF's quarterly newsletter, The ICF Bugle, and a staff discount on all gift shop purchases.
Volunteers work with leading conservation professionals and international scientists.What is it like to volunteer with ICF?
"Volunteering at ICF has…supplemented my existing interest in, and love of, nature and its preservation. It has also provided me with wonderful opportunities to share this understanding and love with a multitude of people of various ages and from far flung parts of the world. It is a joy to be part of the ICF family." – Conservation Education Volunteer Naturalist.
"The birds and staff at ICF really get into your blood – once you start you are "hooked". After volunteering for many years, I am still constantly learning new things." – Crane Conservation Volunteer."Volunteering for ICF turned our retirement from ordinary to extraordinary...our prairie landscaping is a result of our volunteering – to enjoy every day of our lives." – Field Ecology Volunteers.
Volunteer Training Requirements for 2015:
Volunteers interested in leading guided interpretive tours need to complete a formal Volunteer Naturalist Training, which will take place on Saturday, March 21, 2015 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm at ICF. A second training focusing on K-12 curriculum will be held on Friday, March 27, 2015 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at ICF. The K-12 curriculum training is a requirement for those interested in working with school groups. However, the K-12 curriculum training is not mandatory for all volunteers.
During these trainings you will meet other Volunteer Naturalists, share your knowledge and expertise, and learn program specifics. Scheduled training sessions include interpretative program development; crane ecology, behavior and identification; and ICF's mission, policies, and conservation work. Volunteer Naturalists are also required to attend additional mentoring sessions, through which volunteers are evaluated and observed leading interpretive tours and school field trips.

Woman hurt in Escondido hit-and-run crash seeks answers
SAN DIEGO - A Valley Center woman was injured Sunday when authorities say a driver blew through a red light, but it's what happened after the crash that has the woman so mad.
"The people in the car took off. Two males ran and a woman was trying to get away," said Julie Wright. "She had no concern for my wellbeing; she just kept saying she was a felon and please don't call the cops."
The crash happened on the corner of Idaho Avenue and state Route 78 in Escondido, and witnesses from the Escondido Christian Center rushed to help.
"The woman was hysterical. She was jumping into traffic and trying to get into passerby's vehicles. The crowd was telling people not to pick her up, as she was involved in a hit-and-run. She told the witnesses not to call the cops because she would go to jail for a long time. They told her no, 911 had been called; she then got in the vehicle and took off. I had no idea how she got away, the car was missing a tire, a bumper and totaled on one side," said Wright.
Wright said she is sore from the crash, but feels fortunate the crash wasn't worse. Her Subaru was totaled from the collision.
"The bummer is we had to call 911 three times seeking help. It took 30 minutes for the police to get there with an ambulance. Why is that? If I was critically injured, I could have taken a turn for the worse or died in that 30 minutes.," Wright said.
The CHP did not respond to numerous messages left by 10News Monday.
Wright took a picture of the woman she believes may have been a passenger or a driver of the car. She also snapped a picture of the getaway car's bumper and license plate. She is hoping the photos will be enough evidence to solve the case.

Fairfax County voters will be asked to approve $185 million of bonding authority in four different categories when they head to the polls in November.
On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors agreed to place the bond issues on the ballot, including the unusual step of seeking $30 million in bond authority for a levee project in southern Fairfax County.
If approved, the county could issue stormwater bonds to construct a levee to protect 180 homes in the Huntington community, which twice has been damaged by severe flooding from Cameron Run.
�It�s not simply the preservation of homes; it�s a very important public safety issue,� said Supervisor John Foust (D-Dranesville). �We are very, very fortunate that we did not lose any residents or first responders.�
If for some reason the county reaches a less costly solution to Huntington�s flooding problem or finds an additional source of money, such state funds, during the next few years, the Board could opt to issue the stormwater bonds for other projects, or to not issue them.
Some board members wanted to put a $50 million stormwater bond on the ballot, instead of $30 million, so it could fund other potential projects. However, that proposal failed because of a lack of clarity about what other projects are needed.
The remaining $155 million in bond authority includes $75 million for parks, $55 million for public safety and $25 million for libraries.
Some supervisors said they are concerned about adding new park facilities because of the cost of maintaining them. Bonds can be used to pay for major maintenance, such as a new roof, but not smaller, routine maintenance costs.
�Right now we�re not maintaining well what we already have. That challenge isn�t going to go away,� said Supervisor John Cook (R-Braddock).
However, Supervisor Michael Frey (R-Sully) said the county put off adding new facilities in his district for years, meaning his constituents don�t have access to the same types of recreation options that are available in other parts of the county.
�We put off facility development for a long time and there is a part of this county that is tremendously underserved,� Frey said.

Gear Question
L Perez
Last time I bought a bern muse "helmet"...
Last time I bought a bern muse "helmet" it arrived with a disclaimer saying it was a hard hat, the difference being helmets are made to protect your noggin against an extreme impact but the foam takes the impact so it has to be replaced whereas a hard hat is built for multiple less severe impacts but the foam won't crumble everytime. I want something that will keep my head safe in the event of a severe impact. So, dogfunk gurus or anyone with an authoritative response, will this "helmet" do the job of a helmet?

The first time I heard name of this dish from my husband some four years back in 2009. You must thinking how I related this with time. Actually in that year "3 Idiots" was released and my hubby was watching news when he saw Amir Khan promoting the movie in Patna, and enjoying Litti Chokha. And from that time he kept asking me to prepare this. Well I couldn't prepare the dish due to my busy schedule as I was doing job at that time, but my inner instinct was compelling me to read its recipe and prepare this. Meanwhile my hubby tried it from a street vendor and told me that it was really worth eating and he enjoyed it a lot, requested me to prepare it again. In the beginning of this year January 2013, I left my job and started full time blogging as cooking was my passion and I always wanted to do that. Some people may say, its a sad news that i left my job, but from inner side I was happy as I am living my dream now, moreover my brother also gifted me an Ipad. I started my blog by posting very simple recipes, improved my cooking and expanded it to International food also. But something was missing, it doesn't matter how good I was cooking, if I can't prepare Litti Chokha which my husband really wanted to try "Home made". So when Srivalli started ABC cooking themed Blogging Martahon #32 in August, I decided to prepare "Litti Chokha" with alphabet "L" under street food and give a surprise to my hubby. Guess he was really happy and he admired the snack most. I would like to say this is a must try cuisine and prepare it for your loved ones, surprise with a completely different taste. So let's start the recipe. Yum.

Sulaimon responds to new playing time opportunities
With each game over the last two weeks, Duke has distanced itself from an alarmingly slow start to the ACC basketball season.
Over the next week, even more serious tests await the No. 18 Blue Devils.
A three-game winning streak that has vaulted the Blue Devils above .500 in the ACC will be on the line when Duke plays Florida State Saturday, Jan. 25 (noon, ESPN) at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The last two wins of Duke's winning streak were lopsided decisions over N.C. State and Miami, who are a combined 4-8 in ACC play. The Blue Devils (15-4, 4-2 in ACC) will face tougher teams beginning today with Florida State (13-5, 4-2).
Games at No. 20 Pittsburgh (17-2, 5-1) on Monday (7 p.m., ESPN) and No. 2 Syracuse (18-0, 5-0) the following Saturday (6:30 p.m., ESPN) are up next.
The Blue Devils' play of late has them in a better position to face the ACC's top teams. Duke's winning streak puts memories of a 1-2 start in ACC play, which included losses at Notre Dame and Clemson, further in the past.
ESPN basketball analyst Doris Burke, who will work the Blue Devil game today, was confident Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski would turn things around.
"Their growth and evolution isn't surprising with Mike as coach," Burke said.
Duke held second-half leads in the losses to Clemson and Notre Dame only to see them disappear. Krzyzewski altered the playing rotations since then, inserting freshman guard Matt Jones into the starting lineup with forwards Amile Jefferson, Jabari Parker, Rodney Hood and guard Quinn Cook.
That's allowed sophomore guard Rasheed Sulaimon to play with a second five that routinely enters within the first 10 minutes of the game. That group includes forwards Marshall Plumlee and Josh Hairston with guards Andre Dawkins and Tyler Thornton.
Sulaimon actually has played more minutes than Jones over the last three games while averaging 14.1 points and four assists.
Burke called it a masterful move that's improved Duke's overall play.
"Rasheed Sulaimon and his ability to carve out a niche and contribute in a big way was crucial to their long-term success," Burke said. "When that second unit comes in, he has to be the focal point. He doesn't have to blend his game around Jabari and Rodney. Later in the game, when he is on the court with them, he feels good about himself. It's a simple switch but a profound change in mentality and I think that's a good thing."
Hood and Parker have continued to provide Duke consistent points and rebounds. Parker, even after a mild slump, continues to lead Duke in scoring (18.9 points per game) while Hood is contributing 17.6 points per game.
Parker scored 17 points and contributed 15 rebounds in Wednesday night's 67-46 win at Miami, Duke's first true road win of the season.
That all-around performance is a sign of Parker's growth as his freshman year progresses.
"You are going to keep seeing more things from him," Krzyzewski said. "So much is expected of him. But he's not trained yet to do all these things and he doesn't have the experience."
Having worked Duke games earlier this season, Burke sees Parker making positive adjustments with more aggressive play.
"Over the last few games, Jabari Parker has been less willing to settle for jumpers," Burke said. "He's capable of making NBA 3s. He's too physically gifted to settle and too capable of creating easier shots for himself."
Over Duke's last two games, Parker has averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds a game. Like his team, Parker is making progress toward being his best, Krzyzewski said.
"He's a long way from dominating," Krzyzewski said following the Miami game. "He's in the process of getting better. He played really well. He played well our last game (against N.C. State). He played well tonight (against Miami). That level of consistency, he's got to show that. The potential is there to be a really good player."

Severe Storms For SundayJuly 12th, 2014 at 7:12 pm by Pamela Gardner under Colts Forecast, Weather
Temperatures are in the upper 70s and lower 80s with high humidity. Tonight we keep the forecast mainly dry, other than a stray shower. Lows dip into the lower 70s with a partly cloudy sky.
We have a slight risk for severe storms Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening. We have a couple rounds of storms according to Forecast 8 Futurecast. One round moves into northern Indiana around daybreak. This is what is left over from a complex of our storms to our west now. We don't expect the storms to be severe by the time they move into Indiana. Additional pop up storms and showers are likely in the heat of the afternoon Sunday. These storms could produce damaging wind, large hail, localized flooding and a brief tornado.
Highs for Sunday will be in the mid to upper 80s with more humidity. Temps stay warm on Monday with a chance for severe storms in southern Indiana that day. A major cool-down takes over for next week starting on Tuesday. Highs will be in the lower 70s and lows will be in the lower 50s. Dry weather continues for much of next week too.

Ron Smith: Addison Wiggin is with us, Executive Publisher of Agora Publishing.
Addison Wiggin: Agora Financial, yes.
Mr. Smith: Oh, Agora Financial, which is Baltimore-based, and publishes The Daily Reckoning, which is a newsletter that I subscribe to; it's free, so I like it.
Mr. Wiggin: I hope that's not the only reason you like it.
Mr. Smith: And co-author with Bill Bonner of how many books?
Mr. Wiggin: Two books — Financial Reckoning Day and Empire of Debt.
Mr. Smith: Empire of Debt. And I asked you when you came in, whether there was a resurgence of interest in these books because they were, shall we say, on the trail of what was going on relatively early. And you said reviewers are now reviewing Empire of Debt, which has been out how long?
Mr. Wiggin: Well, we first published it in 2005, so it was even before the housing bubble took over the news, housing prices were still going up, and in the book we were forecasting that that was the most likely spot that the cracks —
Mr. Smith: The weakness.
Mr. Wiggin: Yeah, the weakness in the economy would show. But when a bubble's rising most people don't want to hear any kind of bad news.
Mr. Smith: Of course not.
Mr. Wiggin: So even though we're identifying trends that were in the economy and the book made it onto the New York Times Bestseller List, we didn't get a lot reviewers. We didn't get a lot of mainstream attention. In 2011 a lot of people have been reviewing the book and while we put out an updated edition in 2009, most of the reviews I've seen are of the 2005 edition. What I liken it too is people buy the book and they're like, "this is what I want to read"; and they put in their bed stand, and it says there for five years, six years. Events and circumstances change and they're like, "maybe I should read that one now."
Mr. Smith: As we all know the difficulty is timing. You can be totally right on fundamentals, but what I've learned over a couple decades is that the power of the status quo is quite immense, and that will keep the plates spinning on those sticks for a long, long time.
Mr. Wiggin: Right. And what we've seen too repeatedly is the news cycle generates opinions. People change the way that they view the world to accommodate what's happening in the news. And right now we're in a cycle where a lot of people are worried about the economy; they're worried about the United States stature in the world.
Mr. Smith: It's a chicken and egg thing. Our markets depend on confidence. But confidence depends on circumstances, so depending on the day, you can either accelerate tremendously or you can spiral downward. Very rapidly and it's like a school of fish turning.
Mr. Wiggin: Right. And we got the first big wave of selloffs in 2008, which was a big shock. There were a lot of things happening on Wall Street, and in the economy, that came as a surprise to people: the questionable accounting that was going on in a lot of Wall Street banks, and the "innovations" and new instruments that were being marketed as ways for retirees to gain income turned out to be just smoke and mirrors…
Mr. Smith: And the thing is, Addison, you can't really restore, what was driving the global economy for a couple of decades, which is the American consumer's willingness to assume tremendous debt.
Addison Wiggin is with us of Agora Financial Publishing, which is a Baltimore firm. One of their products is The Daily Reckoning newsletter, which is terrific if you have a certain mindset. Most Daily Reckoning — what would you call them "reckoners" — is that what you call them?
Mr. Wiggin: Yeah, reckoners, daily reckoners.
Mr. Smith: Most reckoners are, shall we say, skeptics, right?
Mr. Wiggin: That's a fair assumption.
Mr. Smith: Realists, not Pollyanna-ish.
Mr. Wiggin: No, they have experience with the real world, so they're looking for ways to manage their own money primarily, but they're skeptical of political promises and even the kind of tripe that we get from Wall Street from time-to-time.
Mr. Smith: But they tend to be investors, and therefore, with the market wildly gyrating they've indicated a certain amount of concern if not panic, right?
Mr. Wiggin: Yeah, absolutely. In fact, we recently convened a teleconference among all our editors. Our editors are scattered throughout the country and even oversees, and we convened them on the phone and did a teleconference because our readers are writing in a panic. They're wondering with the market swings — up 500 one day, down 400 the next — what's going on. We were trying to get a litmus test of what our editors were thinking, but also we have the sense of that kind of volatility leading into September or October, which are historically not good times for the market especially, when the economy looks like it's turning back around down.
We wanted to get a sense of what people were doing to prepare their own portfolios because that type of volatility makes people throw their hands up in the year, and then they get nervous and the panic button is hit much easier. And that's what we're expecting going into September and October, is we're probably going to have a much tougher market than we saw even coming into August, which is important because if you compare the three weeks from July 21st of 2011 to today, with 2008, which was the last real tough bear market we saw on Wall Street, the market dropped faster in the past three weeks than it did in those months that that caused the financial panic in 2008.
Mr. Smith: And what's disturbing about that is that every effort made by the Fed and by the government acting in concert has been to bolster stock market valuations.
Mr. Wiggin: Absolutely. We actually expected the market to begin going down at the end of June when the second quantitative easing program ended. When that came to an end on June 30th, we expected the market to begin falling. It actually peaked on the week before, but because of the sideshow that was going on over the debt ceiling debate; the real selling didn't start until the third week of July.
Mr. Smith: For years, you folks at The Daily Reckoning have been recommending buying gold when it dips and selling stocks when they rally, and of course you've had the satisfaction of riding gold all the way up. But do you get nervous about gold being a bubble itself?
Mr. Wiggin: I do get nervous, but I do think we're in the beginning of the cycle. Until the deficit situation and the debt that became the source of the political —
Mr. Smith: The Empire of Debt.
Mr. Wiggin: Exactly, the political theater we saw over the last couple weeks in Washington. Until that's resolved, gold is going to be a flight to safety trade. It's a bet against the system. If people are nervous about the dollar, if they're nervous about the political situation, if they're nervous about the stock market, they buy gold. And we've seen it peak over $1,800 in the last week.
Mr. Smith: Another thing, it would seem to me, is that if you park a lot of money in T-bills, you're basically guaranteeing yourself a real loss. So maybe it's a hedge against that as well.
Mr. Wiggin: Well, it is a hedge, but an interesting thing happened in 2008, and we're seeing it again, both the dollar index and Treasuries have rallied.
Mr. Smith: Because of relative safety.
Mr. Wiggin: Right.
Mr. Smith: Relative safety. Recently, I mentioned that it was the 40th anniversary of President Nixon removing our currency from the gold standard and basically turning the world currencies into all fiat currencies. That is, in other words, ones that exist only by the faith in the issuers, and this is something near and dear to your heart, right?
Mr. Wiggin: Absolutely. That's been the core of much of the work in The Daily Reckoning, and I wrote a book called The Demise of the Dollar, which looks at the launch of what we call the great dollar standard era because the dollar serves as the world reserve currency. Most central banks, most big corporations trade in dollars, and most people around the world use it to preserve their wealth. But in 1971, as you point out, any last link between it and gold was taken apart.
Mr. Smith: And the abolition of that link led to us being able to live much higher on the hog than we actually could afford, which led to this trouble.
Mr. Wiggin: Right, and if you look at the history of money in the world, 40 years is not that long. And one of our contributors, Dr. Mark Farber, is pretty famous for saying the dollar is going to return to its intrinsic value, which is zero, because it's a piece of paper. It doesn't have any value and that's where we're going over time.

1) can the dollar go to zero at all? more accurately will those many many people who hold many many dollars let it go to zero?
2) can the dollar go to zero without half of the world's economy being destroyed?

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|As its title suggests, REMIX CITY VOLUME 1contains remixes of R. Kelly songs, including some of his best singles. "Ignition," for example, becomes a breezy slow jam with this mix, and the delicious Old School mix of "Bump N' Grind" practically commands listeners--no matter where they might be--to grab a warm body and start dancing with uncommon intimacy.
|Though the remixes don't, at times, measure up to the original tracks, and Kelly's spoken commentary can come off as a bit unnecessary, there are some truly stellar moments here, like the beautiful, Marvin Gaye-esque "Step in the Name of Love." In addition to collecting some of his best tunes on one disc, REMIX CITY is also a fine place for the casual R. Kelly fan to get a thorough dose of his sultry, bedroom R&B.

Re: Karen Carpenter
This quote says it ALL!
"Karen Carpenter was a more accomplished player than most people realized. No less a figure than Buddy Rich considered her to be a superior player. "I remember one time when Karen and I went to see Buddy's band," says Cubby O'Brien. "I knew Buddy fairly well, so before the show I took her backstage to meet him. I said, 'Buddy, this is Karen Carpenter.' He said, 'Karen Carpenter, do you know that you're one of my favorite drummers?' As tough as Buddy could be on drummers sometimes, he always respected someone who played the instrument well."
How many drummers can boast of receiving an accolade from Buddy? And knowing Buddy, he wasn't just "being nice to the girl."
As great a drummer as Karen was, she was a legendary singer, with a deep, rich bottom that belonged on a 40-year old singer with a three pack a day habit.
One can only imagine how her career would have transpired. Who knows, she could have led a big band, playing like Buddy, then getting out from behind the drums and sing like Billie. Don't believe me? Check out THIS link...

This Masquerade
with the immortal Ella Fitzgerald. I would KILL to have this in its entirety...

I only get 2 bars when I am in the same room as the base station... I am on a brand new (two day old) iBook G4 12-inch. I checked to make sure I had installed the card correctly, and I had. Does any one have any idea what the problem could be? Any suggestions are appreciated.

These are the best spy photos yet of the upcoming 6-series convertible! Save for a few pieces of not very disguising tape, the production 6-series cabrio comes into view. The cloth hardtop remains on this 650i convertible (but we've been told that a hardtop option will be available).
This 650 F13 6-series convertible has hit the Nurburgring with less camo than previously seen during its track testing. To recap, this next generation 6-series will very closely follow the design lines that have been set fourth with the BMW Concept Gran Coupe.
Resident photoshopper extraordinaire, Gerald Alvarez, has put together this new rendering of the upcoming F12 6-series coupe based upon the newest F13 6-series convertible photos and the BMW Concept Gran Coupe (which was said to be an approximation of what the 2012 6-series coupe will resemble).

Comment of the Day: Clydesdales and Elton John Don't Mix
Categories: Blowback
Today's comment comes from a post reviewing last night's Super Bowl ads with ties to St. Louis. One reader was not impressed with Anheuser-Busch's advertisement featuring its famous Clydesdales, a western gunslinger and Elton John's "Tiny Dancer."

"Tiny Dancer" is just as bad in a western ad, as it was in a movie glorifying the 70's rock scene. And using the Clydesdales as a silly prop only made it worse.

Ga. Tech, BC get ACC wins
Georgia Tech 74, Notre Dame 69
Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) — Trae Golden scored 20 points, Daniel Miller added 10 points and 13 rebounds and Georgia Tech beat Notre Dame 74-69 on Saturday.
Despite blowing a 15-point lead they held midway through the second half, the Yellow Jackets (10-6, 1-2 ACC) went ahead for good when Golden's 3-pointer from the left wing made it 70-68 in the final minute.
Golden gave Georgia Tech its biggest lead at 15, but the Irish went on a 16-3 run to tie the game at 57 on Atkins' three-point play.
Notre Dame (10-6, 1-2), playing its first ACC road game after spending the last 18 seasons in the Big East Conference, were led by Eric Atkins' 20 points and Garrick Sherman's 13.
Sherman missed his first nine field goal attempts, but hit six of his last nine shots, including a reverse layup to give the Irish a 68-67 lead with 1:15 remaining.
The Irish, playing just their second away game of the season on an opponent's home court, trailed by as many as 15 in midway through the second half on Golden's runner from the baseline at the 13:59 mark.
Boston College 62, Virginia Tech 59
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Lonnie Jackson hit a 3-pointer with 27.4 seconds left to give Boston College the lead and the Eagles pulled away for a 62-59 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday.
BC (5-11, 1-2 ACC) snapped a four-game losing streak. The Eagles had lost seven of their previous eight games.
Virginia Tech (8-7, 1-2) had taken a 59-58 lead on a 3-pointer by C.J. Barksdale with 1:36 remaining. BC's Olivier Hanlan turned the ball over on the Eagles' next possession, but the Hokies couldn't take advantage, as Jarell Eddie missed a 3-pointer with 47 seconds remaining.
BC called a timeout with 33 seconds to go. After the timeout, Jackson got a good look from the left wing and hit the 3-pointer to give the Eagles a 61-59 edge.
The Hokies ran the clock down before getting the ball into the hands of guard Adam Smith, who took a jumper from the baseline that came up short with 2 seconds to go.
Jackson — who missed BC's first three games this season with a hamstring injury and had scored in double figures just once this season — led BC with 17 points, hitting 6 of 11 from the floor, including five 3-pointers. Hanlan added 14.
Smith led the Hokies with 12 points, and Barksdale added 11. Eddie, Virginia Tech's leading scorer at 16.6 points per game, scored 10 for the Hokies, but made just 3 of 14 from the floor.
Virginia Tech shot just 28.6 percent in the second half (8 of 28) and 35.1 percent for the game (20 of 57).
The Eagles beat the Hokies for the sixth time in the past seven meetings between the two teams.
UNC Asheville 84, Presbyterian 70
ASHEVILLE (AP) — Andrew Rowsey scored 18 points and D.J. Cunningham led a dominating rebounding effort with a career-high 18 boards in pacing UNC Asheville to an 84-70 victory over Presbyterian on Saturday for the Bulldogs' seventh victory in eight games.
Cunningham, who also blocked six shots in the second half, and Jaron Lane both added 13 points for Asheville (8-8, 2-0 Big South). The Bulldogs had a 50-26 rebounding edge, including 19 on the offensive glass, with Corey Littlejohn grabbing 11 boards along with scoring 11 points.
Jordan Downing scored 18 points and Danny Herrera 17 to lead the Blue Hose (4-13, 0-2), who lost their fourth consecutive game.
A 12-4 run to open the second half extended Asheville's lead to 55-33.
The Blue Hose cut the deficit to 10 points with 2:30 remaining, but Lane countered with four free throws and Littlejohn a basket to keep Presbyterian at bay.
Western Carolina 68, Georgia Southern 67
STATESBORO, Ga. (AP) — Trey Sumler scored twice in the final minute to help Western Carolina hang on for a 68-67 victory at Georgia Southern on Saturday.
Sumler hit a jumper with 58 seconds left that put the Catamounts up 66-61 and another to extend the lead to 68-64 with 3.4 seconds left.
Jelani Hewitt made a deep 3 for Georgia Southern with 1.1 seconds left, but the Eagles were unable to get the ball back.
Brandon Boggs gave the Catamounts the lead for good at 50-48 on a jumper with 7:50 left. Boggs finished with 13 points and James Sinclair led Western Carolina (10-8, 3-0 Southern Conference) with 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting.
Hewitt paced the Georgia Southern (8-9, 1-1) with 23 points. Tre Bussey added 14 points as Angel Matias and Brian Holmes scored 11 each.

Towson 60, UNC-Wilmington 53
TOWSON, Md. (AP) — Jerrelle Benimon scored 20 points and grabbed 17 rebounds to lead Towson to a 60-53 victory over UNC-Wilmington Saturday.

Four McGlynn had 11 points and three assists for the Tigers (10-6, 1-0 Colonial Athletic Association). Timajh Parker-Rivera and Marcus Damas each added eight points. Towson hit 34 percent from the field overall and 71 percent from the free throw line.
Towson overcame an early six-point deficit to go up by nine midway through the first period and led 26-24 at the break. The Seahawks tied it up 30-30 early in the second before the Tigers mounted a 15-8 run to retake the lead 45-38 with 8:21 left to play.
Cedrick Williams scored 15 points and had seven rebounds for the Seahawks (6-12, 0-3).
Texas-San Antonio 85, Charlotte 77
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Devon Agusi scored 22 points and Edrico McGregor added 13 with eight rebounds as Texas-San Antonio cruised past Charlotte 85-77 Saturday.
Nursing a 12-11 lead in the first half, the Roadrunners (6-9, 2-0 C-USA) pulled ahead with a 14-1 run sparked by a Jordan Sims 3-pointer and a three-point play by Hyjii Thomas. James Williams hit a 3-pointer, igniting a 16-5 run to open the second half and giving UTSA its largest lead, 54-33 at the 12:54 mark.
Charlotte (10-5, 1-1) looked to storm back with a run of their own as Denzel Ingram hit two straight 3-pointers to pull within eight. UTSA countered, pushing the lead back to 19 after a pair of free throws by McGregor.
UTSA shot 49.1 percent from the field. Williams finished with 11 points, while Thomas and Keon Lewis each had 10.

The Bears (13-2, 1-1 Big 12) won their 13th consecutive home game, the latest in the streak coming four days after they lost their conference opener 87-72 at No. 9 Iowa State.
Baylor went ahead to stay against TCU (9-6, 0-3) with a 16-3 run midway through the first half. Prince had a pair of layups in the 5-minute spurt that Brady Heslip capped with a 3-pointer that made it 25-14.
Brady Heslip had 15 points on five 3-pointers for Baylor, while Isaiah Austin had 14 points. Cory Jefferson had 11 points and 14 rebounds, his sixth double-double this season, while Rico Gathers had 10 points and 12 rebounds.

No. 8 Villanova 74, St. John's 67
NEW YORK (AP) — JayVaughn Pinkston had 15 points and 10 rebounds and Villanova overcame some early shooting woes to beat St. John's.
The Wildcats (15-1, 4-0 Big East) came into the game having shot better than 50 percent from the field and 3-point range in their last three games. Against St. John's (9-6, 0-3) they struggled from both in the first half shooting 25.9 percent from the field (7 of 27) and 22.2 percent from 3 (2 of 9).
The game was close through the first 12 minutes of the second half with neither team having more than a three-point lead until Villanova went on a 10-1 run that gave it a 65-57 lead with 3:13 to go.
Josh Hart added 14 points for the Wildcats while Ryan Arcidiacono added 13.
Oklahoma 87, No. 9 Iowa St. 82
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Buddy Hield scored 22 points and Ryan Spangler added 16 points and a career-high 15 rebounds to help Oklahoma knock off previously unbeaten Iowa State.
Isaiah Cousins added 17 points for the Sooners (13-3, 2-1 Big 12), who ended No. 9 Iowa State's school-best winning streak at 14 games.
The Sooners won despite a rough day for Cameron Clark. The Big 12's leading scorer finished with 12 points on 4-for-16 shooting. The Sooners were fine because they matched a season high with 13 3-pointers and outrebounded the Cyclones 41-34.
DeAndre Kane had 23 points and nine rebounds and Melvin Ejim added 21 points and six rebounds for Iowa State (14-1, 2-1).
No. 10 Florida 84, Arkansas 82 - OT
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Dorian Finney-Smith scored a career-high 22 points as No. 10 Florida overcame the absence of leading scorer Casey Prather to snap Arkansas' 23-game home winning streak.
Finney-Smith, starting in place of Prather, also added a season-high 15 rebounds as the Gators (13-2, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) won their seventh in row.
Florida trailed 66-57 in the closing minutes of regulation, but Scotie Wilbekin sent it into overtime with a jumper with two seconds left that tied the game.
Wilbekin finished with 18 points, while Michael Frazier had 15 and Patric Young 10.
Ky Madden led the Razorbacks (11-4, 0-2) who had five players finish in double figures, with 23 points.
No. 11 Oklahoma St. 73, West Virginia 72
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Markel Brown hit a 3-pointer with 12 seconds to lift Oklahoma State to a win over West Virginia.
The Cowboys (14-2, 2-1 Big 12) trailed for most of the game, but got solid efforts from their top two scorers in the final minutes.
Marcus Smart had 22 points and 13 rebounds. Le'Bryan Nash added 18 points and Brown finished with 12.
Terry Henderson scored a season-high 21 points for West Virginia (10-6, 2-1), which saw its three-game winning streak snapped. Juwan Staten added 20 points and Devin Williams had 12 points and 13 rebounds.
Henderson's 3-pointer with 1:17 left put West Virginia ahead 72-70 before Brown answered a minute later.
Staten missed a layup in traffic in the closing seconds that would have won it for the Mountaineers.
No. 14 Kentucky 71, Vanderbilt 62
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Willie Cauley-Stein scored 15 points, and Kentucky beat Vanderbilt for the Wildcats' fourth straight victory.
Aaron Harrison added 14 points and Andrew Harrison 10 and Kentucky (12-3, 2-0) started off a two-game road swing through the Southeastern Conference with a win. Julius Randle had 10 of his 11 rebounds in the first half.
Kentucky coach John Calipari has nine freshmen, the same number of total players Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings has available right now with leading scorer Eric McClellan first suspended from the university Wednesday before being dismissed from the program on Friday.
That left senior Rod Odom as Vandy's leading scorer averaging 13.8 points a game, and he spent 10 minutes of the first half on the bench because of foul trouble. He finished with five points.
Damian Jones had a game-high 18 points for Vanderbilt. Kyle Fuller had 17 points and 10 assists, and Dai-Jon Parker added 17.

No. 24 Memphis 79, Temple 69
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Shaq Goodwin had 23 points and 11 rebounds to lead Memphis to a win over Temple.
Down four early in the second half, Memphis (12-3, 3-1 American) used a 17-6 run lasting nearly seven minutes to finally pull away and successfully follow up its win at No. 12 Louisville on Thursday. Memphis is only the second ranked team to win at Temple in the past six seasons. Then No. 1 Kansas topped the Owls in the 2009-10 season.
The Owls led 49-48 with 13:46 to play but came undone after switching to a zone defense out of a timeout. After air-balling its first attempt against the zone, Memphis hit three quick threes to spark a run and take a 10-point lead with 6:55 remaining.
Dalton Pepper scored 24 to lead Temple.
