Target websites about specific topics
Just like your business caters to certain customers, your customers may be interested in certain topics. Topic targeting lets you place your AdWords ads on website pages about those topics, whether it's agriculture, music, or something else entirely.
Topic targeting allows your ads to be eligible to appear on any pages on the Display Network that have content related to your selected topics. As content across the web changes over time, the pages on which your ads appear can change with it. To display your ads on those pages, simply select one or more topics that you find relevant for your ads.
By targeting the "Autos & Vehicles" topic, for instance, you enable your ad to appear on any Display Network website or other placement that includes content about cars or other automotive themes. You can also select more precise subtopics, such as Trucks & SUVs, Commercial Vehicles, or Motorcycles.
You can use topic targeting in combination with individual placements -- which are pages or sites you've chosen where you'd like your ad to show -- and keyword targeting -- which lets you choose the keywords that should trigger your ad to show.
You decide to target the placement newyorktimes.com and the topic Sports in the same ad group. In this situation, your ad will appear only on pages within newyorktimes.com that belong to the Sports topic.
Why target topics
- You'd like to generate additional traffic or want to reach a broad audience quickly.
For example, if you sell bicycles and know that your customers also like hiking and camping, you can try reaching a broader audience by selecting the Hiking and Camping subtopic to show your ads on webpages about this topic.
- You have a flexible or unrestricted campaign budget.
- You'd like to quickly ramp up your ad delivery, or your CPA goal is moderately flexible.
- You'd like to prevent your ads from appearing on pages about specific topics that aren't performing well or are unrelated to your business.
If you'd like to control where your ads appear on the Google Display Network, or you're a brand-oriented advertiser, or you have strict CPA goals and want to actively manage your budget, we recommend using our other targeting options, such as keyword contextual targeting or placements targeting.
How much topic targeting costs
Pricing for targeting by topics works the same way as pricing for other placement-targeted ads. You select the maximum price you're willing to pay each time your ad appears, and the AdWords system will show your ad on pages on the Google Network with content about that topic where your bid can win a position. A popular topic may have thousands or even tens of thousands of pages where your ad could appear.How to target topics
To target topics, you'll need to use one of the following campaign types: "Search & Display Networks – All features," "Display Network only – All features," or "Display Network only – Remarketing."
- Sign in to your AdWords account at https://adwords.google.com.
- Click the Campaigns tab at the top.
- Go to your Display Network tab and click + Targeting, which is located above the graph.
- Select an ad group.
- Click the "Add targeting" drop-down menu and select "Topics."
- Select as many topics and subtopics as you'd like by clicking the double arrows » next to each one. Any topics and subtopics you've added will appear in the "Selected topics" column.
- Click Close and then Save.
- When you target a top-level topic, you also target all the related subtopics. However, we recommend adding the subtopics for bidding and reporting control.
- Adding all the subtopics isn't the same as adding the top-level topic. There are pages that won't be targeted if you add only the subtopics to your ad group. We recommend adding the top-level topic as well.

UBrowser lets you view Google Maps in 3D - I found a really cool browser app through the Random Good Stuff Blog yesterday and proceeded to spend about an hour turning my view of the Google Maps page into all sorts of things. With UBrowser you can turn flat webpages into cubes and balls, as well as make it animate into waves as you use it. The cool part is that all the Google Maps controls still work in this so you can zoom and move around the map while in this view. I took some snaps of the fun I was having down below. For fun, bring up the place you're from, switch to ball view and voila.. you've just turned your home town into its own planet! :) To have a play, head over to the UBrowser site, download the zip file and extract it to a folder on your computer. Then, bring up Google Maps and have some fun!
Google Cartography - Description directly from the page: "..Google Cartography uses the Google Search API to build a visual representation of the interconnectivity of streets in an area. This application takes a starting street and finds streets which intersect with it. Traversing the streets in a breadth-first manner, further intersections are discovered. Eventually a connected graph is produced showing the interconnectivity of streets flowing from the starting street." Example cities include New York City and Melbourne, Australia. It doesn't use Google Maps but does act as an interesting companion to using it. Check the "Give it a Try" section if you want to try to run this on a city of your choice. [Via Gridskipper]

Letters to the editor
Gun control vs. the Second Amendment
There is much ado about gun control and the Second Amendment these days. Those who oppose responsible gun control hide behind the Second Amendment and the twist they put on it says they haven't read the amendment. Opponents of gun control also pick and choose the parts of the amendment that suits them and take them totally out of context.
This is what the Second Amendment says: "A well-regulated Militia, being, necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Opponents of responsible gun control use the last two phrases of the amendment and subvert the meaning of the Amendment to suit their cause. Using it as they do is totally out of context. The right of people to bear arms was necessary in 1791. The colonies were at risk from England, who wanted to keep them subjects of the Crown. There were no American armed forces in that day, which made it necessary to have a well-regulated militia that would respond immediately to hostile parties. Citizens bearing arms were absolutely necessary for the safety of the nation. The amendment starts with a restriction, "a well-regulated militia," which means the militia was trained to defend the nation.
I totally disagree with the 2008, 2010 Supreme Court interpretation of the Second Amendment. They, too, have taken the last portion of the Second Amendment completely out of context.

Questioning the governor's loyalties
Gov. McCrory has a very important decision to make. Who does he represent?
I call upon the governor to represent me and all the homeowners and small businesses in North Carolina.
Since the governor worked for Duke Power 28 years and owns many shares of stock (he won't disclose the number), this would be an unprecedented conflict of interest if he were to choose members of the Public Utilities Commission.
He must show his integrity by forming an independent blue ribbon panel to appoint commission members. Anything short of this is a slap in the face to all who voted for him, and his action will clearly demonstrate his ethics. Electric power is a vital commodity that could mean life or death to the poor.
Will his answer be "people over profits" or "profits over people." We will remember at election time.

Port Phillip Bay 7-12th Feb 2012
March 2, 2012 by Toni
After 4 years of enduring winter surveys in Port Phillip Bay, the RLS team had the luxury of trialling a summer survey trip… or so they thought! It turns out the Victorian summer isn't all that crash hot either! The small crew of Don Love, Jen Hoskin, Sylvia Buchanan, Tim Crawford and Toni Cooper conquered some bad vis and strong winds, but by the end of the week everyone was still smiling and had heaps of surveys to show for it!
Once again, this trip was a collaborative effort between RLS and Parks Victoria (PV) with the primary aim being to survey established Parks Victoria sites. Data collected feeds directly into their Sub-tidal Reef Monitoring Program (SRMP) as well as into the RLS dataset.
Don Love kindly brought his boat along again and between him, and Paul and Michael from Southend Dive and Charters, the team successfully surveyed 12 of the 18 existing Parks Victoria sites. A total of 39 surveys were completed over the 6 days of diving, which was a grand effort. From those sites, 59 different fish species and 79 macro-invertebrate/cryptic fish were recorded. These values are consistent with last year's surveys where 60 fish and 80 invertebrates were seen. The most abundant fish species seen were: Notolabrus tetricus (blue throat wrasse), Parma victoriae (Victoria scalyfin), Olisthops cyanomelas (herring cale), and Pictilabrus laticlavius (Senator wrasse). The most common cryptic fish/macro-invertebrate species seen were, Comanthus tricoptera (Common featherstar), Haliotis laevigata (green lip abalone), Tosia australis (biscuit star), and Heliocidaris erythrogramma (common urchin). The cryptic fish weren't as plentiful this year and Pope's Eye failed to deliver the usual assortment of warty prowfish, golblinfish and sea dragons but the crew were compensated with a gorgeous velvetfish (Aploactisoma milesii) on the very last day!
We would like to give a massive thanks to the survey team team and in particular, Don Love for providing boat support and for his skippering expertise and knowledge of the Port Phillip Bay area. Huge thanks must also go to Paul Serbo and his awesome decky Michael for the super tasty hotdogs! Also thanks must go out to the Parks Victoria crew in Queensclilff, in particular Steffan Howe who helped organise the trip and provided a pen for Don's boat. We look forward to the next Queenscliff trip.

A good fleet manager needs to stay in touch with his business 24/7. This can be hard without GPS and software tools to help them get details about all their vehicles at any given time. Luckily, thanks to the wonderful technology readily available, any business owner or manager can have access to a fleet vehicle tracking solution for staying in touch with all their drivers, no matter where they are.
The only problem is they need to make the best choice of tracking software for their company. This choice is influenced by a few factors such as the size of the fleet, the specific of their industry and the type of activity.
There are many fleet vehicle tracking solutions providers. When searching for one, it's a good idea to ask several of them to provide detailed quotations on their services. It is also important that their tracking solutions match the specific requirements of your business. For instance, if your trucks travel in remote areas, you might need satellite tracking in order to be able to have a permanent connection with them.
Apart from the tracking module of the software, you need to take a look into other facilities. For instance, you need to decide what type of data you want to gather from the field in order to have enough material for further analyses of your business. Such reports might help you take decisions in the direction of increasing your profitability or of making the life of your employees easier.
Costs are also important, so you should assess your business and decide upon a budget for the fleet tracking activity. Depending on your budget, you may need to cut down on some features or, on the contrary, you might be able to afford extended services.

(Interview with Lisa Foronda, KHOU-TV, Houston.)
Q: General, thanks so much for joining us.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld today said that 128,000 troops will be rotated into Iraq to relieve the troops who are there. Now, many of those troops affected are going to be National Guardsmen and reservists. How has this call possibly affected some of the recruitment here at home for reservists?
Pace: So far, recruiting has been very, very good for both reservists and National Guardsmen, but we need to be watchful of that. We don't want to assume that just because right now the numbers are good that they'll stay that way. We need to pay attention to a couple of things.
We need to make sure that the guardsmen and the reservists' mission is a good one, and one that they can feel good about executing. All the folks that I've talked to in Iraq and Afghanistan -- to a man and a woman – have, in fact, felt very good about the mission they're on.
Number two, we need to make sure that we only call upon the Guard and Reserves when we need guardsmen and reserves and we don't have the capacity currently in the active force to do that.
Number three, we need to make sure that we take care of their families and that we respect the absolute right for them to know when they're going to be called up, how long they're going to be on active duty, and when we're going to let them go back to their civilian jobs.
So, I think as long as we adhere to those principles, that we will continue to sustain good enlistments.
Q: General, we're also hearing today that it's likely that the number of U.S. troops will be reduced by next spring. But looking at the situation now, it seems they are very stretched trying to patrol the borders and keeping watch over ammunition dumps.
How can we be reducing the U.S. troops there when they already seem to have a great job on their hands with the number there now?
Pace: Actually, the total numbers of individuals providing security in Iraq has gone up. We started out with about 160,000 U.S. troops and zero Iraqi troops and about 12,000 non-Iraqi coalition members back in May. That number now is 130,000 –131,000 U.S. troops, about 24,000 non-Iraqi coalition, and we're over 100,000 -- almost 115,000 -- Iraqis right now performing duties as police, border guards and the like. So, the total number of individuals helping to provide security throughout that country has gone up and will continue to go up.
Q: When you talk about that kind of force, you need funding behind it. Today, President Bush just signed off on an $87 billion package to help fund the military troops there and the rebuilding efforts.
What are some of the immediate needs that this funding will address right now?
Pace: Well, the Congress has allocated a tremendous amount of money to continue this global war on terrorism. As you know, since 11 September 2001, we have been a nation at war and we are winning this war in Afghanistan. We are winning this war in Iraq. We are winning this war against the global networks and we will continue to do so, but it requires commitments of not only the individuals in uniform who are doing this, but our entire government and, indeed, our citizenry. Our Congress has voted overwhelmingly that our citizens say that this is a fight that is a commitment to the nation.
Q: But it's becoming a more dangerous fight, which was evidenced this past weekend with the attack on the helicopter. We're seeing more of these attacks. They seem to be getting bolder.
How are these increased attacks and the need to secure our soldiers affecting the mission over there of rebuilding Iraq?
Pace: We need to go about the mission in a couple of ways. First of all is the one you allude to, which is the physical security of people on the ground. There will be days when we are attacked and there will be days when we're attacking and there will be days like last week when we lost soldiers who, it's a true tragedy for the individual families, but we will continue to press this fight on the ground militarily with patrols and ambushes and snipers and all the conventional military operations that you're very familiar with.
A major second piece of security, though, is actually providing for the transfer of governance to the Iraqi people so that they understand and see that we are not an occupying force. We are there to turn over their country back to them with a constitution that they have written, with a form of government that they have selected, that will allow them to live free and be part of the community of nations.
So, it's a combination of taking the fight to the enemy, which our military will continue to do, and the transfer of governance to the Iraqi people, which will dry up the environment from which these fighters are coming.
Q: And General Pace, this will be my last question. That two-fold process you talked about -- security and helping the Iraqis becoming a self-governing country on their own -- it's a long-term process. A lot of people here back home are worried about their troops over there, overseas. What kind of messages of reassurance can you give them?
Pace: I would say, first of all, to the moms and dads and brother and sisters and husbands and wives of the forces over there, thank you for what you have done here at home to support your loved one overseas. They should be extremely proud of what their sons and daughters are doing right now. These troops are trained magnificently well. They are part of a fighting force that is second to none anywhere in the world.
I have a son in the Marine Corps and I am proud of the fact that if he is going to serve his nation in combat, that he is going to do so in a force that is as well trained as the force that we have here today.
Q: A military man and also a parent at the same time.
Vice Chairman Chief of Staff, General Peter Pace, thanks for joining us.
Pace: That's very much, Lisa.
(Interview with Todd Wallace, KXAS-TV, Dallas.)
Q: As you just heard, after the cut in the number of troops, once again the Pentagon denying it's a decision to pull Americans from a danger zone in an election year.
Still, instead, officials are suggesting it's part of a gradual handover of Iraq to Iraqis. For more on these changes we're now joined live at the Pentagon by General Peter Pace, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
General Pace, thanks for joining us this afternoon.
Pace: Good evening, Todd. It's nice to speak with you. Thank you.
Q: President Bush today signed an $87.5 billion package for Iraq and Afghanistan. What will this money allow the United States to do?
Pace: It will allow us to continue to win the war on terrorism. We're winning in Afghanistan, we're winning in Iraq. And we are winning against the global network of terrorists, but it does take resources to do that. The Congress of the United States voting for the people of the United States are telling the world that we are committed to doing this and we are going to stay the course.
Q: As to the cut in troops, the U.S. force would drop from about 130,000 or so, to around 100,000 by spring. And some lawmakers have said that the cuts would leave American troops even more vulnerable.
Can you explain the rationale behind this decision since more American lives have been lost in the past two weeks than at any time since the U.S. occupation began?
Pace: Sure. I think if you go back to around the 1st of May, we had about 160,000 U.S. troops, zero Iraqi troops and about 12,000 coalition troops.
Today, we've got about 130,000 U.S. troops, 24,000 coalition troops, and about 118,000 Iraqi individuals who are serving in the five forms of their security forces. So, the overall number of individuals serving security duties in Iraq has increased significantly.
Plus, most importantly, the commanders on the ground, General John Abizaid and Lieutenant General Rick Sanchez, have been told repeatedly by the President, by the Secretary of Defense, that whatever resources they need to get the job done will be provided to them. These are the numbers that those commanders on the ground who are working this problem day to day say they need to get the job done.
Q: I think a lot of people listening may say, but, is this the right time, since the attacks seem to be increasing or at least the death toll seems to be increasing and the kind of attacks seem to be more sophisticated? So, the timing is a little interesting to me. General Pace?
Pace: This is November. The swap-out begins in January and goes until May and there are all kinds of off-ramps. If the security situation changes, we can change the mix of forces on the ground.
If, in fact, security continues to improve, then by May we'll be down to the numbers you talked about. If we need to have additional forces either stay or go over, in addition to the ones going, that's exactly what will happen.
Q: General Pace, we're going to have to cut this interview a little short because we are having some technical problems. But we do appreciate your taking the time to join us this afternoon. I know that you have a very busy schedule.
Thank you once again, General Pace.
Pace: Thank you, Todd.
(Interview with Russ Spencer, WAGA-TV, Atlanta.)
Q: 18,000 U.S. troops have been told that they will soon be sent to Iraq as part of a major troop rotation and 47,000 National Guard and Reserve forces will be activated as well. Joining us now to talk about the short and long-term challenges in Iraq, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Peter Pace. General, we appreciate your being with us. Thank you very much.
Pace: Thank you, Russ. It's good to be with you.
Q: As you know, there are lots of reservists here in north Georgia. What do you say to them and their families who feel that reservists are being asked to carry too heavy a burden in this war?
Pace: First, I say thank you to the individuals that are going to be deploying and to their families for being willing to make this sacrifice. We should take great pride and they should take great pride in the fact that we have soldier citizens like the National Guard and the Reserve who are willing to serve their country and they are serving their country extremely well.
They are winning this war for us. We have been at war since September 11, 2001. We are winning in Afghanistan. We are winning in Iraq. We are winning against a global network of terrorists and it's going to take the commitment of this nation, and the patience and the will of this nation, to succeed in this, and we will.
Q: General, you said yesterday that U.S. forces in Iraq will be reduced from some 130,000 now to 100,000 by next May. In Newsweek this week, Fariz Zacharia writes, "A drawdown of troops sends exactly the wrong message to the guerrillas. In the words of one North Vietnamese general, 'We knew that if we waited, one day the Americans would have to go home.'"
You served in Vietnam. What do you think of the comparison, at least as far as that's concerned?
Pace: I did serve in Vietnam. I was a rifle platoon leaders in Vietnam, and Iraq is nothing like Vietnam.
Second, with regard to the numbers. General John Abizaid and Lieutenant General Rick Sanchez, who are the ones who are responsible for conducting this campaign, have been told by the President and by the Secretary of Defense repeatedly that whatever resources they need to get this job done will be provided to them. Their assessment is that these are the numbers of troops that they need.
This is not something, though, that is not moveable. We need to go back to May. In May, we had about 160,000 U.S. troops on the ground, zero Iraqis fighting with us, and about 12,000 coalition forces. Today, we've got about 131,000 U.S. forces on the ground, 24,000 coalition troops, and about 118,000 Iraqi coalition troops who are in their police and their border guards and the like.
So, the total number of individuals committed to the security of Iraq has, in fact, increased. The drawdown that we're talking about, or the replacement of forces which could ultimately result in a reduction, doesn't begin until January and then it goes on between January and May.
So, any time during that time frame that the situation changes or that General Abizaid or General Sanchez believe they need more forces, they are either going to get to keep the ones that are there or we'll send them more. But we will stay with this in the way that the combatant commanders in the field need to be supported.
Q: General, let me ask you about an issue of importance here in Atlanta. A local man, a Lieutenant Colonel Allen B. West, has been charged with assault in connection with something that I know you're familiar with. He intimidated, threatened with a gun, an Iraqi who was being interrogated about impending attacks on American soldiers. The Iraqi was not injured but the lieutenant colonel has been charged.
Can you tell us whether he will be court martialed? And whether you think he should be court martialed?
Pace: I cannot tell you that. That's under investigation. It would be inappropriate for me to make any judgments on that.
Q: All right.
You said that we're winning the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. With specific regard to Iraq, twice as many U.S. soldiers were killed in October as compared to September. It seems as though, at least from here looking at the reports, that it's getting more dangerous in the Sunni Triangle, not less.
Pace: There's no doubt at all that there have been spikes in violence, and on any battlefield there are going to be days and weeks that are less productive than you would like them to. However, when you look at the broad expanse of, number one, security, which is a combination of not only the actions that are being taken by the military. Yesterday alone, 1800 patrols, over 40 detainees, thousands of pounds of ammunition and caches of weapons that could be used against our troops, were found in one day alone. So, the security situation that military operations are going well.
The other part of security is getting the governance of Iraq turned over from the Coalition Provisional Authority as quickly as we can in a reasonable manner, speed, to the Iraqi people so that they have their own constitution written by them, they have their own form of government that they have decided on for themselves, and they've elected their own officials.
So, we do have a two-pronged part of security, which we will continue to move forward on. There will be battles in which we have individuals lost. But we will stay with this. We are winning.
The electricity. The power from various forms of fuel oils. The export of fuel. The water supply. The health supply. There are 97,000 Iraqi students who have applied to the university system. That's more than they've ever had in recent times. There are many, many ways you can measure progress in a country.
This is not to make light of a single death to a U.S. or coalition soldier. Each one of those is a tragedy. But we are winning this war.
Q: All right. General Peter Pace, Vice Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Sir, we appreciate it. Thank you.
Pace: Thank you, Russ.
(Interview with Guy Gordon, WXYZ-TV, Detroit.)
Q: General Pace, we know it's been a difficult week for your people on the ground in Iraq, so we do appreciate you being with us this evening. It's good to have you here.
Pace: It's good to be with you, Guy. Thank you.
Q: We know that you've got a major rotation coming up. You're going to be deploying some new units and the National Guard will be involved. How many units from Michigan will be deployed? Do we know yet?
Pace: Guy, we do know, but if I could ask you to understand that what we want to have happen here is the individual unit commanders have the opportunity to be notified. That has happened last night and today. Then we want those commanders to have the opportunity to call their individual soldiers so that they get the word through the chain of command.
So, there will be people from Michigan that will be called up, but we'd like them to be able to be notified by their chain.
Once they've done that, the commanders on the ground know that they have absolute freedom to speak with the press. But if you'll allow me to, I'd like to let that chain of command function properly.
Q: We certainly respect that. Do we know how large this deployment might be? Can you tell me that?
Pace: From the Michigan area?
Q: Yeah.
Pace: I think it's in the neighborhood of about a thousand total troops from Michigan.
Q: Okay.
Does this rotation signal a drawdown in forces? Will we have fewer people on the ground in Iraq, -- say, next spring -- than we do now?
Pace: If you're talking about U.S. forces, the potential answer to that is yes, and I'll explain that in a minute.
In May, we had about 160,000 U.S. forces, zero Iraqi forces fighting with us, and about 12,000 coalition forces from other nations. Today, we've got about 131,000 U.S. forces, about 24,000 coalition forces from other nations, and significantly, about 118,000 Iraqis who are in their police force and in their border guard and the like. So, the total number of individuals providing security in Iraq has gone up and will continue to do so.
What will happen with this rotation is that, beginning in January, the units that are there now will be replaced by the new units and that will take place between January and May. If, any time during that rotation, General Abizaid or Lieutenant General Rick Sanchez, who are the commanders responsible for this campaign, if they signal that they need more troops or they need to keep the troops that they have, that will be done for them.
The President and the Secretary of Defense have repeatedly told the commanders in the field the resources that they need to prosecute this campaign will be provided to them.
Q: One of the things I know that people are concerned about is the level of manpower that's going to be there, and obviously the level of hostility they face as well. But, because of this call-up, they're being told that, perhaps, as long as 18 months. We're looking at at least a significant U.S. military presence in Iraq for perhaps two years out from now, correct?
Pace: Well, we want to make sure that the individuals -- like those from Michigan, in fact -- have at least a 30-day notification that they're going to go. Then we want to train them properly. And for those that are in the infantry units or those that might be in immediate harm's way, we want to make sure that we train them to the absolute best possible standards so that they know when they go into this situation that they are well prepared for it.
Then, when they get in-country, they will serve potentially up to, but no more than, 12 months on the ground. Then, they'll come back. They will have earned leave of upwards of 45 days. They can take that leave at home station.
But when you add together being mobilized for training, then deploying for one year, then coming back and taking leave at the end, that potentially could be as much as 18 months for some units.
Q: Okay. All right. General Pace, thanks for explaining all that. We will look forward to see which one of our Michigan units will be called. We'll be in contact with your people. Thank you very much.
Pace: Thank you, Guy.
(Interview with Don Porter, KING-TV, Seattle.)
Q: General, I wonder if you could give us, I guess you'd call it the theory behind the new rotation plan that we're hearing about today that would actually end up in a net reduction of American forces on the ground in Iraq by spring. Could you tell us the operating philosophy behind how that's going to work?
Pace: First of all, the commanders on the ground -- General John Abizaid and Lieutenant General Rick Sanchez -- have been told several times, Don, that whatever forces they need, they will get. So, the plan that is going to be executed between January and May of next year is based on the needs of the commanders on the ground. If those needs change, so will the numbers of forces that are provided to them. But if the needs stay the same, then beginning in January, the forces that have been over there the preceding year will begin coming home and by May they will have swapped out.
But, it's important to note that although the total number of U.S. forces that are there may come down, it is in an environment where the total numbers of Iraqis providing for their own security has increased.
In May, there were zero Iraqis with us. Today, there are over 118,000 that are in the police forces and the border guards and the like, and it's projected by May that there will be close to about 170,000 additional total Iraqis that will be working for their own security.
So, the total number of individuals in Iraq will have increased, not decreased.
Q: We have heard quite a bit about these Iraqi security forces. Critics of that idea take note that these are, for the most part, people you're taking more or less from scratch and you're going to pit them against the same ex-Saddam thugs and killers and assorted terrorists who have come in from other countries. The same people who are killing American forces at a regular rate. People wonder whether that's really going to give you the same effective counter-power to that kind of assault that's out there constantly, that kind of potential assault that's out there constantly.
Pace: Don, thanks for asking that. There are several different ways that security forces right now are being used in Iraq. Border guards that check vehicles as they come through; protection of fixed sites like schools and hospitals and museums and oil refineries and the like. Those are the kinds of security positions that the Iraqi forces will be replacing coalition and U.S. forces. There will still be three very, very capable, competent U.S. divisions on the ground in Iraq. There will still be two very capable and competent coalition force divisions on the ground. So our capability to take this fight to the enemy will be sustained.
Q: Senator McCain said today it makes him nervous to think about going down to around 105,000 American forces on the ground by May. He said, to him, that doesn't even sound like enough to play defense, much less go after the people who are going after the U.S. forces. How do you counteract that kind of criticism?
Pace: We're going to stick with what the commanders on the ground need. If they need more, they're going to get more. If they can reduce the size of the commitment of U.S. forces and get the job done with coalition forces that include Iraqis, that's what we're going to do.
We are winning this war. We are going to continue to win this war. And we're going to commit whatever resources are required to do that.
Q: Did you think the resistance would be this strong for this long, sir?
Pace: The battlefield is fluid, for sure. Some days there are more actions than others. But you must expect in a country that was under such a brutal regime and where there are still some who would prefer to have it return to its former self, that there will be those individuals who do not want to see the Iraqi people write their own constitution. They don't want to see them vote for their own representatives. They don't want to see them have their own judicial system. They're not happy to see the schools being filled up. They don't like the fact that electricity is flowing. They don't like the fact that oil is flowing. They just don't like the fact that these Iraqis might just become free and independent as they should be allowed to become.
So, there are going to be those who we're going to have to fight, and we will fight them and we will win. We are winning in Afghanistan. We are winning in Iraq. We will stay this course.
Q: The message that we are winning seems counter-intuitive to many Americans when they see the accounts of what's gone on in Iraq in the past ten days, in fact in the first four days of this month alone, we counted 23 U.S. casualties. How can you reconcile those two impulses?
Pace: It is certainly understandable that the press would be reporting on casualties in great depth. It is also not at all to make light of a single U.S. or coalition casualty. Each of those individuals who has died has made a tremendous sacrifice for our country and their families have made a tremendous sacrifice for our country. So this is not to make light of that at all.
But when you look at the totality of what is happening on the ground, all that I've already mentioned with regard to the schools and the judiciary system and the fact that the Iraqis are beginning to turn over their own people to us for prosecution.
As you look at all of those things, it is clear that the tide is inexorably turning in favor of the Iraqi people. The price that is being paid by some of our soldiers is enormous, but the gain for our own country and for the Iraqi people is significant.
Q: General Pace, we're out of time. I want to thank you very much for spending some time with us today. Thank you very much.
Pace: Thank you very much.

Moroccan Vegetable Phyllo Rolls with Balsamic Maple Sauce
My Mom doesn't think I should post recipes that I don't eat myself. I have to trust others to tell me how it tastes but I can tell you how easy it was to make. Although even Rob and I can disagree on whether we like a dish, considering both Rob and my parents liked the Tel Kadayif, the Turkish shredded phyllo dough dessert, I deemed that a quorum for a good recipe. And with its stupid-easy simplicity, definitely blog-worthy.
This is another dish I made for others at a party, with no intention of eating myself. In fact, I had planned to use half of the stuffing for the phyllo rolls, and just eat the remainder of the filling myself, without the phyllo dough. Somehow, though, I just kept wrapping the phyllo rolls and by the time I looked down, there was no more filling left. Plus, we were already late for the party, so we brought half the rolls with us and left the other half at home to bake later.
These Moroccan phyllo rolls were so good that I ended up eating them for a few meals.
The filling was very nice, filled with roasted vegetables (zucchini, red pepper, onion and fennel) and spiced with all my favourite savoury Moroccan flavours – ginger, paprika, cinnamon and cumin. I have become scared of roasting veggies with spices, so I added the spices to the veggies right after they were finished roasting. The dried apricots added a touch of sweetness and weren't overpowering in the slightest. The fresh basil added a nice twist, as well. While the original recipe from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan suggests serving these more like a strudel, because this was for a party, I made them into little appetizer phyllo triangles.
These are nice as is, but let me tell how you awesome these rolls are with the Balsamic Maple Sauce. The sauce was so simple to put together, yet filled with flavour. It didn't even seem like a lot of dressing but a little bit goes a long way. Actually, refrain yourself, because too much sauce could easily overshadow the subtleties of the rolls.
I still have some sauce leftover and wondering what else I could use it with… Dreena suggests drizzling it over steamed veggies, baked sweet potato or using it for anything that needs to be dipped. Sounds like a good plan!
This is being submitted to this month's Sweet Heat Challenge, featuring Game Night treats and to this week's Weekend Wellness.
Moroccan Phyllo Vegetable Rolls with Balsamic Maple Sauce
2 cups combination of yellow, red, and orange bell peppers, chopped
3 cups zucchini or yellow squash, cubed
1 large onion, chopped (2 cups)
2 cups fennel bulb, chopped (about 1 medium bulb)
1/2 cup dried apricots (preferably unsulfured), chopped
5–6 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1.5 tsp cumin
3/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
3/4 tsp cinnamon
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup cooked white beans (or chickpeas, I used Yellow Eye beans)
1/2 cup (packed) fresh basil (or parsley) leaves, chopped
8-12 sheets phyllo pastry sheets, thawed (I used 8 sheets)
4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (as needed to brush phyllo)
1. Preheat oven to 425F (220ºC). Line 2 wide-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Place bell peppers, zucchini, onion, fennel, apricots, and garlic on sheet, and toss with oil and salt. Roast in oven for 35–45 minutes, tossing midway, until veggies are caramelized in some spots and softened.
2. Mix together the cumin, ginger, paprika, cinnamon, and pepper.
3. When veggies are finished, toss with spice blend, and mix i beans and basil, and let cool slightly until able to touch with hands.
4. Reduce oven temperature to 375F (190ºC).
5. Line a baking dish or sheet with parchment paper. For appetizer phyllo triangles (great step-by-step photos here): lightly brush top of one sheet with oil. Then, with a sharp knife, cut 4 strips lengthwise down length of sheet. Place a small spoonful of filling at the base of one strip. Then, fold that corner over to form a triangle, and continue to fold back and forth until you reach the top. Repeat process until you have used up all the filling. Brush tops of triangles with oil. Bake at 375F (190ºC) for 15–25 minutes, until golden. leftovers may be perked up in an oven at 375F for 5-10 minutes.
Note: For a main course, it would be easier to make strudel/parcels: To do this, lightly brush top of one sheet with oil. Place another sheet (not brushed with oil) on top. Spread 3/4–1 cup roasted veggie mixture (filling i too full could make it break) down the center of top sheet, leaving 1–2″ space from edges. Fold left side over filling and roll up, tucking in sides as you go. Brush with additional oil and place in lined baking dish or sheet. Repeat process until all phyllo and mixture are used; you will have 4–6 rolls. Bake for 24–28 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm, drizzled with Balsamic Maple Sauce (recipe below) or mango or tamarind chutney.
Serves 4-6 as a main course.
Makes 32 appetizer triangles.
Balsamic Maple Sauce
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium clove garlic, pressed
1/8 tsp sea salt, or to taste
1 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
3 tbsp tamari
1. In a saucepan on low heat, combine syrup, vinegar, oil, garlic, and salt, and heat for several minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine arrowroot and tamari, stirring through until well incorporated. Add tamari mixture to saucepan, whisk to combine, and increase heat to bring mixture to a boil, stirring continually. Let boil gently for 1 minute, then remove from heat and let cool slightly (the mixture will thicken more as it cools down). Refrigerate leftovers.
Makes 1/2 cup.

These look so good. I love Moroccan spices and the sauce sounds like a perfect compliment to the filling.
Look yummy!
Wow – these look and sound so fantastic! I love the Moroccan spices and that Balsamic Maple Sauce sounds amazing! Love this recipe so much – thank you for sharing it with us and taking part in this month's Sweet Heat Challenge : )
I love the sound of these! Reminds me of burek I had at a Moroccan restaurant back before I was vegetarian. I'm sure I would love these on their own, but combined with that sauce would be even more delicious! I would use the sauce to drizzle on flatbread or pizza too
You have some really nice flavours going on here!
If we're being honest, I occasionally post things that i don't eat. Mostly some of the desserts. I'll usually have an obscenely tiny square but that's just to make sure it's edible. That's to make up for all of the ones that I DO eat. :P
I wouldn't be able to resist these though. There would, however, be a danger that I'd just eat the filling.
Maple and balsamic are amazing together! I can't get enough of that flavor combo.
What an awesome mix of favors! I think I could drink this sauce. On another note where do you get your Aleppo chili flakes? I can't find me and you use them so much it must be good.
What a great party recipe! It sounds so flavorful
I must admit that I avoid any recipes that call for phyllo! It scares me. So I've never really considered making these before. But perhaps I should… they do look really good!
Sounds fantastic! I make chicken b'stilla phyllo triangles that are always a huge hit and there's one element of that recipe that I think really takes it up a notch: In between the layers of phyllo, after brushing with oil or butter, you sprinkle a mixture of finely ground almonds, cinnamon and powdered sugar. The combination with slightly spicy, savory filling is fantastic!

While I can understand hardship of loosing a job and not being able to afford things, as I have been there several times, what makes health care a right afforded by the government and paid for by the tax payers? That is what is missing in this whole debate. Where is the mandate that the government provide my health insurance? Will they buy me food next? What about clothes? Will they pay for my car? Where does it end? I think the constitution lays out pretty clear the role of the government and if we'd follow those rules then I think we'd have a really good shot at bringing down cost of health care to affordable levels. But as long as the government is trying to control things watch cost skyrocket, quality degrade, freedoms taken, money confiscated and quality of life vanish.
your logic only works if we are mandated to drive cars. If that is the case then I look forward to that repeal too.
look up 'nullification'. You will thank yourself.
Serious? You do know that the Government can't make money, it can only take it, right? The only people who make money is the Federal Reserve Bank and they do that illegally.
@dtjb there is quite a difference between regulate and mandate. Regulation for safety (as you mentioned above) is fine and needed, mandate for power and control is where I take issue. I don't think health care reform, as it is proposed now, is dealing with public safety. Me not having, or not being able to pay for health insurance does not affect you. Me putting toxins in the water, or making a unsafe car does and should be regulated.
But I also don't think health care is a right, so what do I know.
LTorok, that is a terrible thing to say, but being that you are probably a liberal you think that is ok.
Yes, health care needs some looking at, but the government needs to stay out of it. Name one program the government runs that is better than a counter part in the private sector? I'll wait.
Want a sure fire way to bring down cost? Get rid of health insurance. Pay out of your own pocket. Insurance only drives up cost. Same thing with Student's tuition when the Federal Government started throwing around loans.
#14, Baby!!! RTR
Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows. And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong. So, you could have put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard which means you must have studied. And in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line."
The main thing the 'black' leaders did about segregation is get it changed from a law to a choice.
If anyone uses a race adjective before a title, I tend to ignore them. Such as a Black Leader.
it is too bad we don't even look at the Constitution anymore (may she rest in peace). All of this non-sense could be avoid from the start.
Kudos to the AG's looking into this, but what took you so long? And while you are at it can you look at the part about mandated coverage against the penalty of monetary fines? I'm pretty sure that's not kosher either.
let's start with the mayor's and the council's pay and then work our way down. I'm in favor of closing budget gaps, but perhaps a better course of action would be to start with those who voted for the budget and voted for crazy projects that will bleed the city dry.
Maybe if Cooper did stand on the City Hall steps and chat that line we'd have more people turn out to vote. I am amazed that people feel more apart of their respective college football team (as they sit in the stands or watch it on t.v.) than they do their city/state/federal politics (where they actually have a voice). Saban has never asked me what play I think should be run, but democracy does all the time.
Thanks for the article. Sometimes the blemish on the nose is the hardest one to see.
oh, and if the state has a bridge for sale, you may want to have it inspected before you buy.
So since the State of Alabama is me (along with some other folks), you would like me to pay those who bought these 'guaranteed' PACT's for the decline in the market? Where should I send a check?
Bottom line is that you want the tax payers to pay because you trusted the State when the state had no business making guaranteed deals.
Why do I think I am going to have to pay for your indiscretions?
"While global warming has its skeptics, most scientists generally agree that the phenomenon is real and human activities play a role."
That is the premise?!? We are about to raise taxes by the most amount ever and the premise is that most generally agree and that man plays a role? Could someone please tell me how that makes sense?
I couldn't even get away with that hypothesis on my 5th grade science project...
and how is it a bad idea that people, who had their home destroyed by a hurricane, don't return to the area where another hurricane could destroy their home?
seems pretty simple to me, but so does tax reform, health care, government spending, etc...
you can put "guaranteed" on a ham sandwich, but that doesn't mean....
man, where is langford when you need a good analogy?
If the program is out of money, then you are S.O.L. just like the rest of us with money in the market. What makes you think the state should use money from any other source to make up the difference? Remember the old saying, 'buyer beware'? I think they should change that to investor beware.
oh, right. I am all warm and fuzzy.
that looks like it will meet our energy demands of the future. Way to stay in front of the curve GM!
At least that guy got a car for his $300,000. I gave GM a bunch of my tax dollars and I didn't get anything for it.

How stripey! I love stripes -- they're a design that never grows old. On you, they're terrific.ReplyDelete
I never realized you do winged eyeliner. (Read your comment on WB's blog.) Perhaps that's because your pictures aren't close-ups. I've struggled mightily with eye-makeup and still haven't found the perfect look (mostly because my eyes are odd). I tried winged eyeliner and liked it, but someone (actually three someones) criticized it on a blog-post and I haven't recovered from that yet...
Sweet sweet stripes. So easy to style. So classic, yet on trend. Can't wait to get my posts up for the week!ReplyDelete
So excited for this challenge!ReplyDelete
It will be revy interesting to see, yeahhhhhhhhhhhReplyDelete

Week 4 SEC Power Rankings
Kentucky Wildcats Continue to Fall Down the Rankings
The Kentucky Wildcats took another blow last week when they lost to the Baylor Bears at Kentucky, which snapped a 55-game home winning streak. As you may have guessed, the Wildcats are no longer the best team in the SEC. However, how much did Kentucky drop in the latest Week 4 SEC Power Rankings?
It is becoming more and more clear that the bottom of this conference is absolutely horrible. The Vanderbilt Commodores are looking worse and worse by the week and are entering unfamiliar territory by being one of the worst teams in the SEC.
The Alabama Crimson Tide are still looking great, despite their loss to a good Cincinnati Bearcats team in the SEC/Big East Challenge.
How about them Gators? The Florida Gators just got done whooping the Marquette Golden Eagles by 33 points. Marquette is no slouch this year, but that just shows the college basketball world how good Florida is.
The Missouri Tigers are climbing up the national rankings and are not too far behind Florida, which will make the matchup between the two teams that much better come January.
This conference may not be as deep as people thought it would be entering the season, but it still has some great teams at the top and people can't really expect the Wildcats to stay this bad all season long. Not to mention, they have lost to three very good opponents.
Not a whole lot has changed this week in the power rankings, but why don't you take a look for yourself.
14. Mississippi State Bulldogs
Record: 3-5
The Mississippi State Bulldogs have the honor of being the worst team in the SEC for the fourth consecutive week. This team has looked terrible all season long and it may not get any better because the Bulldogs are showing no signs of improvement.
13. Auburn Tigers
Record: 2-5
After four losses in a row, the Auburn Tigers are making a case for being the worst team in the conference, but hey, at least Frankie Sullivan is in beast mode this year, averaging almost 20 points per game.
12. Vanderbilt Commodores
Record: 2-4
Vanderbilt can build some momentum by beating the Xavier Musketeers this week, but don't count on it. Xavier only has one loss on the season, whereas the Commodores are losing to just about everybody.
After that game, Vanderbilt will get a break and should get a couple of wins in a row against cupcake competition.
11. Georgia Bulldogs
Record: 2-6
After playing great basketball in the Legends Classic, the Georgia Bulldogs haven't been playing the best ball in the world, losing its last two games.
That could be because Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (17.4 PPG) is the only player scoring more than 10 points per game though.
10. South Carolina Gamecocks
Record: 5-3
The South Carolina Gamecocks started off the season hot, but after two losses in a row against good opponents, it is apparent that South Carolina was only winning because of easy competition.
I am not trying to bash the SEC here, like it may seem. The bottom teams in this conference are just that bad. However, if anyone can turn around a team it would be Frank Martin.
9. Texas A&M Aggies
Record: 6-1
The Texas A&M Aggies are continuing to beat easy competition. We really will not know how good this team will be this year until it takes on a tougher opponent, which won't be for awhile. However, the Aggies have a great record so far this season, and they do have a lot of talent on this team.
8. LSU Tigers
Record: 5-0
The LSU Tigers still have a perfect record on the year and they are only one of three teams in the SEC to remain undefeated.
The Tigers just got their best win of the season so far, by beating the Seton Hall Pirates. Expect this team to continue its hot start.
7. Arkansas Razorbacks
Record: 4-3
The Arkansas Razorbacks have one more tough game against the Michigan Wolverines before they can take a little break.
Unfortunately, this game will be played in Michigan, but the Razorbacks did manage to play the Syracuse Orange tough a couple of games ago, so there may be a chance. However, B.J. Young has to play huge in this one.
6. Ole Miss Rebels
Record: 6-0
The Ole Miss Rebels are being led by Murphy Holloway and Marshall Henderson. Both of these players are averaging 16 or more points per game, and help make up one of the best scoring duos in the conference. It is no wonder why this team finds itself undefeated still.
5. Tennessee Volunteers
Record: 4-3
The Tennessee Volunteers are not off to the start that they would have hoped for, but this team still has a very well-rounded and talented team. That alone makes them hard to count out just yet.
However, two losses in a row does not fair very well for this team.
4. Alabama Crimson Tide
Record: 6-1
Alabama just barely lost to Cincinnati on the road by the score of 58-56. Although losses are never a good thing, this one doesn't necessarily hurt the Crimson Tide, at least not yet.
Alabama looks to get back on track against the Dayton Flyers later on tonight.
3. Kentucky Wildcats
Record: 5-3
Kentucky has so much talent on its team, but it has just been victim to three better teams than it this season. Once the young Wildcats learn how to play with one another, they will be back on pace for an SEC championship.
The Wildcats will get better and they will be ready to play the Louisville Cardinals on Dec. 29.
2. Missouri Tigers
Record: 7-1
Michael Dixon may no longer be on the team, but the Missouri Tigers are still talented enough to win the SEC and make a deep run in the NCAA tournament. Phil Pressey and the rest of this team are just going to have to be that much better this season without Dixon.
The Tigers will have a couple of easy games in a row before they take on the Illinois Fighting Illini, which should be a very intriguing matchup.
1. Florida Gators
Record: 7-0
The Florida Gators may not be beating ranked opponents, but it is still beating very good teams. I wouldn't even call it beating though, considering that the Gators are literally killing team after team.
Florida is winning games on an average of 25 points per game.
The real test will come against the Arizona Wildcats on Dec. 15. Florida will be on the road, but if this team plays like it has been so far this season, it should come up with the victory at Arizona.

iOS Rich Text Email/Gmail
Hi Guys,
I've been trying to figure out a way to get rich text to work on Gmail for the iPad. Mom's been bugging me since she ways loves using the emoticons and sending out those coloured words.
I'm able to get Gmail to load the desktop version of the web page, but I am unable to get the virtual keyboard to show up when clicking on the email body section, so it doesn't work. I don't have a wireless keyboard at home to hook up with the iPad either.
Any suggestions/tips on this?
Thanks in advance!
At this stage I suggest you make friends with plain text mail.
Like many other Mac users it's all I use.
Otherwise write the message in Pages or similar and send that as a pdf.
Have fun.
Just realised how old this thread is.... sorry.
yeah, I know what you mean. I only write messages in plain text, but my mom (being a mom and all) loves the colours and emoticons, lol. Guess she'll have to do without it for the moment then.

Gelish Mint Icing & a Testament to Gel Polish! 4Gelish Mint Icing, but it's also a testament to SOG polish. My daughter graduated high school on Thursday (yay!), and I'm planning a big grad party at my house this coming Saturday. I apologize in advance if I'm quiet this week, but I have a lot of party preparations to take care of and many family members coming in from out of town.
I've been having some work done on the house and there was a huge mess to be cleaned up… plaster dust everywhere, so that was my agenda for this weekend. I started Friday night and just cleaned 2 bedrooms. I was wearing regular nail polish and half of it chipped off that first night. Saturday morning I woke up and started cleaning again, but my nails weren't holding up well at all… they desperately needed some reinforcement/strength. So I took a short break from cleaning to apply some gel polish, the lovely Mint Icing color seen below. I hadn't worn this color before and meant to take swatch pictures right away, but I got caught back up in cleaning and totally forgot. I ended up cleaning for almost 12 hours!! I bleached bathrooms, washed all of the hardwood floors, dusted… the works. These pics were taken the next day and my nails are still in perfect condition. And that's why I love gel polish… I can clean, garden, and do just about anything I want and not have to worry about my nail polish chipping or nails breaking!
Mint Icing color is shimmery teal… it's a little greener and less sparkly than Oocha Coocha. It's a bit sheer for my taste. This is three coats and there's still quite a bit of visible nail line.

Moving in one week!
No, Kuusou is not moving anywhere. I'm heading off to college next week! Flying about 3,000 miles from Washington to Massachusetts. Excited to move in, not excited for the red-eye flight.
There are five new PNGs this week. The Fairy Tail and D.Gray-Man PNGs were extracted by aihara.chan. Yay!
Plugging Fiona and Nelson because they make me smile (or laugh at my own stupidity).

Typically, when we see thousands of dead birds scattered across a natural space, our first thought is an oil spill, something like the recent Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf (the second anniversary of which we recognized this week). But another kind of man-made disaster is taking place in Northern California right now, and it's having the same kind of impact on birds. The big difference is that this is one we can stop anytime we want. In an opinion piece a couple weeks ago, Audubon California Executive Director Dan Taylor urged the Bureau of Reclamation to send more water to avert disaster. It's time they heeded his warning.
Massive die-off of migrating birds in the Klamath grows worse
April 22nd, 2012 · by Garrison Frost

One Comment so far ↓
When the KBRA Water Deal was signed we were told that Klamath Project Irrigators would take care of the refuges. The KBRA Deal irrigation interests signed says in section 15.1.2.J that they will do that prior to legislation being passed.But what actually happened is eerily like what Sports Illustrated reported happened in 1959 on these same refuges:http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1133897/1/index.htm
Promoters of legislation to authorize aspects of the Klamath Water and Dam Deal – including Dan Taylor – want you to believe federal legislation will solve this problem. But the Merkley-Thompson legislation would actually keep the refuges under the thumb of the Bureau of Reclamation and federal irrigators. Water Watch has an excellent report on this at this link: http://waterwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/WW-KBRA-Refuge-Impacts-Rev-2010.pdf
This is the sort of mischief one always sees when backroom deals impact public resources. Pity that Audubon California is supporting this bad deal!

- The Euro and international capital markets (2000)
- This paper provides a broad empirical examination of the major currencies' roles in international capital markets, with a special emphasis on the first year of the euro. A contribution is made as to how to measure these roles, both for international financing as well as for international investment. The times series collected for these measures allow for the identification of changes in the role of the euro during 1999 compared to the aggregate of euro predecessor currencies, net of intra -euro area assets/liabilities, before stage 3 of EMU. A number of key factors determining the currency distribution of international portfolio investments, such as relative market liquidity and relative risk characteristics of assets, are also examined empirically. It turns out that for almost all important market segments for which data are available, the euro immediately became the second most widely used currency for international financing and investment. For the flow of international bond and note issuance it experienced significant growth in 1999 even slightly overtaking the US dollar in the second half of the year. The euro's international investment role appears more static though, since most of the early external asset supply in euro is actually absorbed by euro area residents.
- The economic impact of merger control legislation (2008)
- Based on a unique dataset of legislative changes in industrial countries, we identify events that strengthen the competition control of mergers and acquisitions, analyze their impact on banks and non-financial firms and explain the different reactions observed with specific regulatory characteristics of the banking sector. Covering nineteen countries for the period 1987 to 2004, we find that more competition-oriented merger control increases the stock prices of banks and decreases the stock prices of non-financial firms. Bank targets become more profitable and larger, while those of non-financial firms remain mostly unaffected. A major determinant of the positive bank returns is the degree of opaqueness that characterizes the institutional setup for supervisory bank merger reviews. The legal design of the supervisory control of bank mergers may therefore have important implications for real activity.
- Bank mergers, competition and liquidity (2006)
- We model the impact of bank mergers on loan competition, reserve holdings and aggregate liquidity. A merger changes the distribution of liquidity shocks and creates an internal money market, leading to financial cost efficiencies and more precise estimates of liquidity needs. The merged banks may increase their reserve holdings through an internalization effect or decrease them because of a diversification effect. The merger also affects loan market competition, which in turn modifies the distribution of bank sizes and aggregate liquidity needs. Mergers among large banks tend to increase aggregate liquidity needs and thus the public provision of liquidity through monetary operations of the central bank. Klassifikation: D43, G21, G28, L13

College to Host Byron Motley Presentation on the Negro Baseball Leagues
Brunswick, GA – The College of Coastal Georgia is hosting a multi-media presentation by actor, author, jazz singer and filmmaker Byron Motley on The Negro Baseball Leagues: An American Legacy. The program, which will be held in the Terrill Thomas Auditorium of the Southeast Georgia Conference Center on Thursday, February 7, at 1 p.m., is free and open to the public.
Motley's documentary project details some of the significant contributions to the sport and to society made by Negro League players, using almost 90 photographs to illustrate the history of African-American baseball from the late 19th century through the middle 20th century. Prior to producing the television documentary film, Motley co-authored Ruling Over Monarchs, Giants and Stars: True Tales of Breaking Barriers, Umpiring Baseball Legends, and Wild Adventures in the Negro Leagues (Skyhorse/Sports Publishing, February 2012) with his father, Bob Motley, who was an umpire in the League between the mid-1940s and 50s. Also one of the first African-American Marines, Bob Motley called the balls and strikes of such legendary Negro League players as Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Willie Mays and Satchel Paige.
As an entertainer, Byron Motley has performed on Broadway, on stage with the Boston Pops Orchestra, and worked with names such as Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Barry Manilow, Barbra Streisand and Dionne Warwick.
The program is one of several campus events sponsored by the College's Multicultural Program Committee in celebration of Black History Month.
