Orthodox economist Greg Mankiw weighed in on the health-care debate in Sunday's New York Times, with a heavy dose of cost-benefit analysis, plus a personal note about the doses of cholesterol-lowering statins he takes every day. Makiw reasons that since his daily pill costs roughly "$150,000 for each year of life saved," this shows that health care can't be equal. "Society" just can't afford to keep everyone healthy!
Here is a nice response to Mankiw from economist Jeff Ely, on the blog Cheap Talk:
The centerpiece of Greg Mankiw's column in the New York Times is this paragraph about the little white pill he takes every day:
Not long ago, I read that a physician estimated that statins cost $150,000 for each year of life saved. That approximate figure reflects not only the dollars patients and insurance companies spend on the treatment but also — and just as important — an estimate of how effective it is in prolonging life. (That number is for men. Women have a lower risk of heart disease.)
Mankiw used the word cost but I would say that what he is referring to is price. With monopolized drugs and dysfunctional health care insurance there is a huge difference between price and cost. And with this in mind, Mankiw's column completely misses the real economic problem exemplified by his pills.
For a more in-depth discussion of statins and how they relate to "monopolized drugs and dysfunctional health care insurance," check out the article by Mark Hyman, MD on Why Cholesterol May Not Be the Cause of Heart Disease (on Huffington Post; hat-tip to CKS). Even though I, too, take my dose of statins every day (and I'm willing to bet that my dose is higher than Greg's!), I don't have any trouble understanding Hyman's argument: that part of the reason it is widely believed that high (LDL) cholesterol causes heart disease is that the pharmaceutical companies have developed a pill that lowers (LDL) cholesterol! In fact, as Hyman points out, the causes of heart disease are much more complex.
Yet more evidence that it may be easier for an MD to be critical about economics and policy than it is for an economics PhD.

Must be nice to be at that point in your life where $1.1M is considered "peanuts." Forgive me if I don't feel too much pity for you Kelly.
As long as LBJ shows up at game time in a Cavs uniform, why does anyone care where he is at any other time? Do whatever you want LeBron, just help us win a championship.
Well-deserved and just the first of many... now it's time to grab that O'Brien trophy.
Congrats Mike... just another small step on the way to a championship this season. Outstanding work.
Great win tonight Chris and the rest of your teammates. You have made the city proud. But your run isn't over yet. You'll be able to rest a bit after you beat Arizona Sunday afternoon. Go Vikes!
If that isn't the real BW making that comment I'm gonna find who it was and kill them... this is too cruel.
Happy 24th to the King. You can't get this kind of love in NYC or any other city but Cleveland. And you have a chance to bring Cleveland its first title in 44 years. You truly will be the lifetime King of Cleveland if you can deliver that and we love you here! Enjoy your party tonight, after beating the Heat of course.
Well done Dan. It's about time the Cavs get proper recognition in this town. We are usually all too preoccupied with the embarrassing state of the Browns. Let's appreciate what Gilbert/Ferry/Brown have put together in this franchise. And enjoy watching LBJ, who says he is '5 times as good' as he was in Game 7 against Boston. I can't wait for the season to start!
I cannot adequately express in words my disdain for Ozzie Guillen or A.J. Pierzynski. Pierzynski has a history of running his mouth, so I'm sure what Cliff said was justified. I can't wait to see the White Sox crumble in the postseason... just hopefully not to the Red Sox.
^Please don't compare Cribbs to Boozer. This is simply a matter of him switching agents and the new agent wanting to cut a new deal and get paid. It's no different than K2 earlier in the offseason. Savage won't need to do anything now and Cribbs will be taken care of in due time. This is how it goes in the NFL - no big deal.
Updated file names now so they don't get overwritten. Thank you!!!
^Agreed CScott. Savage seems to still go back to his scouting roots from time to time and I love it. He actually has a plan for this team and has finally built depth in key spots. In Phil we trust and for good reason.
Hey Tony - which player benefits more with the revamped d-line: Andra Davis or Kamerion Wimbley?
Hey Tony - How many series can we expect to see Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn at QB in Thursday's preseason opener?
Hey Tony - You have stated that Jamal Lewis is in great shape, but should be be worried at all that he has lost any power by dropping that weight?
Hey Tony - what are Travis Wilson's chances of being the third receiver this year, assuming that Joe Jurevicius can't get healthy?
Sounds like Phil enjoys a little gambling on his scouting trips. Nothing wrong with that. Wright and Bell should be solid for years to come...
I'm equally as encouraged by Mujica's progress as I am disappointed in Betancourt's downfall. His ERA has gone from 1.48 last year to 6.04 this year. He has just killed us.
If Feller can't close in 2009, I'd make a major run at Street. I know he will be expensive, but we need a young guy at the back of the bullpen that we can count on for a few years. This is one time the Dolans absolutely need to step up.
Some good background info here on McDonald and Cousin. I've always thought that the NFL puts way too much emphasis on size and speed (just take a look at the annual draft combine). Hopefully B-Mac can stay healthy this season and prove himself worthy to be a starting cornerback in the NFL.

Doing great work on the preview Goose.
I went with 1-2.
Yesterday, we went over the Buffs new conference and the obstacles they will face in their transition between the Big XII and their new home in the PAC-12. Today, we're focusing specifically on how the Buffs are going to do this season. Can they repeat their late season run from last year? How are they going to do in Puerto Rico? Who are players to watch out for?
In case you missed any of the previous days, here's your chance to catch up.
* Monday, November 7th – The PAC-12
* Tuesday, November 8th – CU in 2011-12 (Part 1)
* Wednesday, November 9th – CU in 2011-12 (Part 2)
* Thursday, November 10th – CU in the Future (Part 1)
* Friday, November 11th – CU in the Future (Part 2)
How will CU do in the Puerto Rico Invitational?
Goose – We got the worst draw possible. I was hoping we wouldn't get Wichita State as, in my opinion, they're the favorites to win the whole thing. Getting Maryland/Alabama next won't exactly be a walk in the park either. I love that Boyle added the Ft. Lewis game to give the team at least one warm-up before heading in to this, but it wouldn't surprise me to see us go 1-2.
RumblinBuff – I'm going to have to say that the trip to Puerto Rico will be disappointing. I sure would like to be in the top portion of that bracket. Western Michigan or Iona in the first round? That'd be a gift. Instead, CU is stuck with a bracket comprised of the 2011 NIT title game combatants and Maryland. The draw is tough, and CU could repeat their Maui Invitational performance of two years ago by backing into a 1-2 record based on matchups alone.
Wichita State, CU's first round opponent, is loaded with seniors, and should be a top-25 team. The winner/loser of the Maryland/Alabama game won't be easy either. Alabama returns most of their talent from that team CU lost to in Madison Square Garden last season. Maryland, coached by Coach Boyle's mentor Mark Turgeon in his first year, is a typically athletic ACC squad.
Add to that the fact that the Buffs, relying on a series of newcomers to play pivotal roles, will have to gel, yet again, in the early going before their best basketball can be played.
Buffnik – I don't think we're good enough to win it. The first game will answer that. We play Wichita State and I think they're the best team in the field. If we pull a surprise there I'll change my thinking, but I think we lose.
Second round sets up as either Maryland or Alabama. Maryland has Turgeon and it's the opening of a system change. They're a young team (1 senior) that didn't make the postseason last year. It would be surprising if they were playing well in Puerto Rico. Alabama still has JaMychal Green who killed us in the NIT to go with a lot of athleticism, but they can't shoot and they don't have a center if Gueye is still out with his knee injury. We'd have a good shot against either team.
On the other side of the bracket, we've to Temple, Purdue, Iona and Western Michigan. I like CU against either Iona or WMU, not so much against Temple or Purdue.
Add it up and we should be either 1-2 or 2-1 in Puerto Rico. I'm a homer, so I'll say 2-1.
Tyler Ziskin – As a basketball fan for my entire life, and having played it for just as long, there's one thing I KNOW about basketball, and that's that it takes time to find chemistry. It's hard to overcome losing your top 4 scorers, there's no way around that. The Buffs will not be the same team at the end of the 2011-2012 season as they show early on. The Buffs will struggle early, and I see them losing their first two games in the tournament, and hopefully, they'll be able to find a way to get the last one. I know that seems pessimistic, but this team is young and has a lot to learn.
Zach Bell – 1-2. Will lose to Wichita & Maryland and hopefully bounce back against Western Michigan or Iona.
What is CU's starting 5 to begin the season and who will it be by the end?
Tyler Ziskin – To start the year I would expect us to start...
PG Nate Tomlinson
SG Carlon Brown
SF Andre Roberson
PF Austin Dufault
C Shane Harris Tunks
Spencer Dinwiddie will see significant minutes similar to Andre Roberson's role last year and the "starter" between him and Nate Tomlinson will be insignificant by season's end.
The rotation is deeper on this year's team, and I expect Askia Booker, Jeremy Adams, Shannon Sharpe, and even Sabatino Chen to see decent minutes as well.
Zach Bell – To start the year: Nate Tomlinson, Carlon Brown, Andre Roberson, Austin Dufault, Shane Harris-Tunks. By the end: Spencer Dinwiddie, Brown, Roberson, Dufault, Harris-Tunks.
Buffnik – To start the season:
1= Nate Tomlinson
2= Spencer Dinwiddie
3= Carlon Brown
4= Andre Roberson
5= Austin Dufault
By the end of the season:
1= Spencer Dinwiddie
2= Carlon Brown
3= Andre Roberson
4= Austin Dufault
5= Shane Harris-Tunks
RumblinBuff – Nate Tomlinson, Carlon Brown, Andre Roberson, and Austin Dufault for sure; Coach Boyle also insinuated as much in the Ralphie Report interview at Pac-12 Media Day, so you can book that. Those 4 will get the vast majority of starts and minutes all season long. The cool thing is that they've very experienced: two 4-year starters, a superlative sophomore, and a senior transfer who has logged plenty of minutes at a high level and has Tournament experience. It's a good core group to win with.
I'll say the 5th guy on opening night is Jeremy Adams by process of elimination. I don't think it's going to be one of the freshman, and Jeremy fits the position outline (Coach Boyle seems to like guard heavy play). By season's end we could see Dinwiddie or Ski slip in there.
I'd personally like to see Shane as the 5th starter, but they may want to ease him in off the bench for a few months as he gets back to game speed after sitting out a season. By the end of the season, I fully expect SHT to play 25-30 minutes a night. Whether he starts, much like Levi last year, is immaterial. He'll be on the court in crunch time, which is what counts.
Goose - Initially, I figured we would go Tomlinson, Adams, Brown, Dufault and SHT to start the year with Dinwiddie replacing Nate by conference play. However it sounds like Dinwiddie might already be in the starting lineup when we start the season. I know a lot of people are floored that I don't have Dre in there, but I LOVE the idea of he & Booker coming off of the bench to completely gas opponents at the mile high elevation. Remember, it's not who starts the games, it's who finishes them. Dre is a finisher. All of that said, Boyle's made it pretty clear that Dre will be a starter this season, so plug him in for Adams/Dinwiddie, and expect us to roll out Nate, Brown, Dre, Dufault and SHT.
What players do you expect to bust out this year and which newcomers should have the biggest impact?
Tyler Ziskin – If Shane Harris Tunks is healthy, I expect him to be a significant force defensively for the Buffs. He's never going to put up eye popping stats, and won't be an All Conference player, but don't downplay the significance of his impact on this team's success this year. Carlon Brown sat out last year, so in my eyes, he's a "newcomer". He's also our best player and is underrated by Buff fans. He'll be a similar player to Cory Higgins from a production standpoint, and he's an electrifying athlete. Spencer Dinwiddie has the skills to to be a 3x All Pac 12 player, and will be a significant piece of this team as well. Jeremy Adams came in with some hype attached, but honestly, I don't think we'll be able to rely on him this year, he isn't what I was hoping he'd be.
Zach Bell – Carlon Brown has to assume the role of main scorer on the team. The Utah transfer has a ton of skill and has been practicing with the team for over a year so he should be able to come in right away and make a huge impact. Spencer Dinwiddie is the obvious choice as the newcomer that will make the biggest impact. I expect him to overtake Nate Tomlinson as the lead point guard relatively early in the season because he is a much better playmaker and plays with supreme confidence.
Buffnik – I'm expecting Nate and Austin to play like seniors, with both increasing their scoring. Andre Roberson will also show more of a complete game with a better shot and more reliable free throw shooting.
From the newcomers, I see Carlon being this team's leader (emotionally, as a scorer, and as a stop defender). Jeremy Adams will become a valuable role player spelling Carlon off the bench as the season progresses. Dinwiddie is going to be an instant star who gets his points while also making our offense much more efficient. I think he's the key for getting this group to gel. Askia Booker is an "instant offense" guy, but it's going to take a while before he has it figured out since he'll have to learn what a good shot is at this level. When he gets it, watch out. Finally, Sabatino Chen is an excellent on-ball defender who should provide solid minutes.
Goose – I am so ridiculously high on Dinwiddie it's not even funny. I'm a huge fan of big PG's, and Dinwiddie fits that perfectly. Everyone who talks about playing with him mentions how he gets them the ball in the perfect position. I honestly thought we'd redshirt Booker until 'Nik told me I was a fool. As with most things, he was right. He's going to be a force off of the bench.
RumblinBuff – This is kind of a lame pick, but Andre Roberson. Everyone knows about him already, but 'Dre will get to show off his offensive skills this season. In a run-and-gun offense, like the one Coach Boyle employs, a lightning fast, lengthy slasher like 'Dre will excel, whether his jumper comes around or not. Additionally, I look for him to take his rebounding and defense to a whole 'nother level this winter.
I still say Carlon Brown, has to come up huge, otherwise CU could really struggle this season. His role is that of the do-all, Cory Higgins type; rebound, distribute, defend, score. He has to fill the stat sheet on a nightly basis for CU to have any shot of a successful follow-up to '10-'11. 15 points, 5 boards, and 3 assists per game are musts.
"Dinwiddie Spencer" (what a name!) will have the biggest freshman impact.
Make sure you check back tomorrow as we will be going further in-depth on what to expect from the Buffs this season, including a breakdown of the non-conference schedule.

Doing great work on the preview Goose.
I went with 1-2.
I figure we will have a better guess of our talent level after the Ft. Lewis game. But, I am staying cautious and going 1-2.
Good Job Goose, et. al.

Great job, Goose, and thank you for putting this together!
Thanks to nik, Zach, Tyler and Rumblin, too, of course.
I went with 3-0 and Im being serious. I see us playing with a ton of fire against the []_[][] Shockers and pulling out a thrilling win. Riding that fire and revenge factor against bama for another win, and then by virtue of an upset on the other side getting an easier opponent then the first 2 in the championship and bringing home the gold.
Nice work on this everyone.
Seems like most of you touched on the same players repeatedly up there, but i am curious what people think of Chen and Adams who were lightly discussed up top?
"Don't argue with an idiot, he'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."
But they aren't question marks for Coach Boyle. Chen was recruited directly by Coach when he was at Northern Colorado (before eventually choosing DU) and Adams was recruited by and signed with Coach's mentor Mark Turgeon while he was at A&M. That leads me to think that Coach Boyle knows what he should be getting with these two, and brought them in with specific roles in mind.
Just taking a guess, Chen will be the high-energy relief minutes guy off the bench, while Adams will be the lead scoring threat in future years while learning under Carlon's wing this season. Adams has Big XII/Pac-12 talent (Turgeon was recruiting some big-league level guys at A&M, and Adams was no joke in high school), so I don't think he'll be as out-of-water as many have insinuated.

Hi everyone. This is my first post so bare with me. My cousin put homebrew on my Wii and handled all the updates. He showed me the menus and stuff but was always doing the updates. Well, he can't be reached for a long time(if you catch my drift) so I need your help. I went into the Wii Shop Channel to download Mario Party 2 I got for 150 Club Nintendo coins but it says I need to update my Wii first.
Well, I know not to do this but I don't have the 13.4 like this thread says I need.
I have Wad manager 1.5 I think it says on my homebrew. Is there anyway I can download it through the internet without using a flash drive or sd card reader? The ports on my laptop don't work and so I can't use USB. Can I maybe do it through my phone or does it have to be on the exact same SD card as my homebrew? I have an adapter I can use to get it into the SD card slot of my Wii. Can I do it directly through the homebrew channel. What is the easiest way to get the proper things I need to get this update to the Wii Shop channel? Thanks in advance.

Under the direction of Shihan Greg Lazarus, the NE Kenshin Kan Karate Dojo (school) was opened in Dover, New Hampshire in 1980, providing training for both adults and children. In July 2008, we moved to our current location in the Salmon Falls Mills in Rollinsford, New Hampshire.
Shihan Lazarus' training for all his students is a unique traditional style of Okinawan karate called Shorinryu Matsumura Seito. Its roots trace back to the 17th century and it was developed for the purpose of defeating the Japanese Samurai. With shin height to solar plexus height kicks, upright stances and natural body movements, the system allows individuals of all ages and abilities to participate. The classes are taught in a formal class setting and the dojo is directly affiliated with the hombu dojo (main school) in Okinawa.
Because of this strong affiliation, the dojo is honored each year with a visit by Grandmaster Fusei Kise, 10th Degree Black Belt and successor to Grandmaster Hohan Soken as head of the Shorinryu Matsumura Orthodox system. Master Kise has traveled to the dojo from Okinawa every year since 1984. During his visit Master Kise conducts rigorous, traditional training for all ranks, both adults and children. The highlight of his visit is the testing of those students going for black belt ranks.
Shihan's expectations for the students throughout the year are simple: attend class regularly, train to your utmost ability, exercise the traditional protocols and practice. There is no tolerance for ego, ill temperament or bragging of one's ability or strengths. Instead, a "karate family" atmosphere is always maintained.
Because we are a family, we treat each other with respect and concern; we are not here just for our own training. We also have fun together at events such as rock climbing, summer picnics and an annual Christmas party.

I'm Not What They're Searching For – Vol. II
Every couple of weeks or so, I like to check my site meter and browse the list of referring URL's. In layman's terms, this means I get to see all the different web pages that bring visitors to my website.
Most of the visitors to this site intend to arrive here, but every day, at least a handful of folks arrives at my site through no fault of their own. And usually, after I look through the list of referring URL's, I wind up equally amused and disturbed. A great deal of the funnier searches, unfortunately, also happen to have sexual undertones, and while I will ultimately wind up cowering under the coffee table, sucking my thumb for comfort, I have to first allow myself to have a whale of a laugh imagining what must have gone through the Googlers' minds when they clicked on the search result that brought them to my website.
One thing that really sends me into hysterics is the way many Googlers compose their searches. They type only the key words of what they're looking for into the Google search field. For instance, "How dispose skunk." (Anything For a Date led them here, no doubt) and "Toenail separated nailbed" ( Paperclips, Toenails, and Middle Child Syndrome was clearly the culprit here).
While I understand the mechanics of entering search phrases in this manner—it cleans up the search a bit, eliminating the annoying article adjectives, prepositions and pronouns that might complicate the search—all I can picture when I read search terms like these is a Neanderthal caveman, sitting at the keyboard, grunting as he types in his various search phrases with his hairy index fingers. Think "Me Tarzan. You Jane" and "Me Make Fire."
Another search highlight from the past week? "Camera woman slammed ground kick testicles." Ugh. You Tarzan. Me Emotionally Scarred.
One of the real standouts was "Yanking nut sack". Please tell me this particular Googler was an Asian/Pacific Islander looking for some kind of native recipe involving calf testicles. If not, he was sure to be disappointed with what he found here. And I'm getting under the coffee table. Fast.
And finally, some hapless Google freak found me through the search "How Give Woman Lap Dance". I'm so happy and proud that people looking for this information will be led to my tale, My Lap Dance With Gary Coleman. Once the vision of Arnold from Different Strokes appears in their head, they'll be cured forever of any sinful lap dance desires that might be swimming around in their soul.

About Korea
Gat, Traditional Headgear in Korea
Gat can be defined as the representative Korean traditional headgear. Delicate and elegant features and the curve of gat show the intrinsic beauty of Koreans. During the Joseon Dynasty, the commoners as well as the noble scholars wore gat for a leave day or the ceremonial conduct with full attire. Custom for wearing gat is continuously transmitted into the traditional ceremony such as ancestral rites in Jongga (the head family).

FAQ by DeeBlackthorne
Version: 1.7 | Updated: 05/07/04 | Printable Version
"EVOLUTION: The World of Sacred Promise" Specifications Adventurer's Guide File Size: 86.5K by Dee Hill Version: 1.7 firstname.lastname@example.com Courier New [9pt] http://deeblackthorne.blogasm.net MS Word, Notepad, Wordpad -------------\ INTRODUCTION \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For many generations, the Launcher family has produced a long line of famous adventurers. They are now long since gone and this glorious heritage seems about ready to come to an end. Except that into this family is born a single son, Mag, who has dreamt all of his life of becoming a skilled adventurer. Well, that's the gist of the story - Mag, the adventurer, braving the ruins of the continent in search of fame (as if his family didn't have it already), fortune (to repay that hefty debt owed to the Society), and the legendary Cyframe named "Evolutia" (whose existence is much more rare than the Naolins that frequent the treasure chests). Why an "Adventurer's Guide," then? Why go through the trouble of making an FAQ when the dungeons are randomly generated, when each battle remains at a relatively stable danger level, and that you're grown enough to hold a Dreamcast controller? Simple. Treasures are as randomly discovered as the dungeon layouts, and since no whole c compendium of items has been built, I've found my project for the time being. -------------\ HOUSE RULES \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ is meant for YOU, the game player, of course. I don't mind people sharing, passing around, or printing this Adventurer's Guide. My only request is that if you wish to post it on the web, simply post a link to my e-mail address and give appropriate credit. Because this compendium seems an eternal work-in-progress, I know that even after I complete the whole game, I probably won't find every single thing - rather, that players have found things I haven't. That's cool. Follow the format below (name of object, description, stats/value, etc.) and e-mail that information to me using the address at the top. -----------------\ VERSION HISTORY \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION DESCRIPTION ------- ----------- 1.0 First walkthrough of Evolution. 1.1 Reorganized appraisals from monsters.

Both beneficial and harmful to your team, traps become less worrisome if you use a Trap Search tool just after entering a floor. Use the following list to determine whether you should tread carefully. Unless otherwise indicated, traps disappear after they are stepped upon. And if you don't have the Trap Search to discover them, avoid traps by either jumping over them (B button) or "hugging the walls" to maneuver around them. HARMFUL TRAPS DESCRIPTION ***** ------------- ----------- Alarm White tile with eight-directional arrow. Alerts monsters of your presence, making it harder to surprise them. Effects can be reversed if you use a Chameleon Color. Blinding Gas Grated manhole, shoots out black gas. Obscures vision, dimming the dungeon layout for 15 seconds. If engaged in battle, players are randomly given "Blindness" status. Confusion Gas Grated manhole, shoots out yellow gas. Muddles the team, disabling proper controller guidance for 15 seconds. If engaged in battle, players are randomly given "Confusion" status. Erasure Salmon-colored brick. Amnesia-inducing gas erases your progress on the floor. Effects can be reversed if you use a Ruin Search or Navigator. Explosives Red-orange trap with an X in the center. Pressure-sensitive, it explodes, damaging about 10% of your team HP. Will reset after detonation. FP Reduction Brick-colored square design. Saps away roughly 5% of your team's FP. Larceny (Unknown.) Randomly steals away one of your items and stashes it in a chest. Slightly annoying - you can find your lost item rather easily. Monster Boost Salmon-colored brick. Strengthens all monsters on the floor. Monster Summoning White tile with eight-directional arrow. Summons a monster on the floor for a surprise attack against your team. Can be VERY dangerous, especially on the lower levels! Be careful! Warp Trap Dark gray tile with a shadowed orb. Randomly teleports your team to another part of the floor. BENEFICIAL TRAPS DESCRIPTION ---------------- ----------- FP Restore Soft blue tile, emits green light. Restores 50% of your team's FP instantly. HP Restore Soft blue tile, emits blue light. Restores 50% of your team's HP instantly. Level Boost Soft blue tile, emits green light. Randomly levels-up one of your allies. Monster Eliminator White tile, emits red light and siren. Makes all monsters on the floor disappear! Monster Sap Salmon-colored brick design. Weakens all monsters on the floor. Stats Boost Blue-gray tile, emits yellow light. Randomly increases a statistic for one of your players. Bonus affects any ally regardless of formation in the party. TP Bonus Soft blue tile, emits blue light. Gives your allies several hundred TP. Very useful when you're trying to gain new techniques. ***** I drew up this list from memory, so it might not be as accurate as I would like. Feel free to submit your corrections. ----------------\ SALOON'S JUKEBOX \ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- While this section of the game has no real importance, should a player be willing to find out what's on the jukebox after the barkeeper repairs it, here is the collection. MUSIC COLLECTION 1 1. Chain's Theme 2. Mag's House 3. Pepper's Theme 4. Linear's Theme 5. Save Evolutia! 6. Treasure Song 7. Victory at the Ruins 8. Enter Eugene 9.

Cyframe Raid ---------------\ DEBT REPAYMENT \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A secondary but important part of completing the Evolution game is repaying your family's debt. Embarking on adventures in the ruins pays off in the form of artifacts, valuable relics that Society member Nop appraises and then grants you payment. Debt comes in two phases. Your family left Mag an $80,000 debt with the Society. So long as you spend wisely on Cyframe upgrading (I dedicated much of it to Mag since he was always on my team and he's, without a doubt, your strongest character.) and you fight the bosses with Linear and Gre (He always reserves his portion of the adventuring money toward the family debt, and he can make a decent fighter once you level up his skills.), you can get that paid with little worry. To thank you for paying off the $80,000, Nina will give you an Attack Booster +72. This gift also "unlocks" your team's luck in find Boosters over +72 in treasure chests. After you defeat Eugene and the 8th Imperial Army (which means you've beaten the game and your save file has a star with an S in the middle), the family has a $200,000 debt to repay - the Society fixed the Sea Otter and cleaned up all the wreckage from the carrier ship. Hefty, huh? Unfortunately, even if you defeat the bosses from each of the ruins, the Great Treasures have already been found, so you don't get credit for them a second time. I pose two recommendations here: (1) Discover which treasures yield the greater amount of value. If you're unfamiliar with how treasures are spread out through the ruins, remember that the more valuable items and objects reside in the deeper dungeon levels. Each ruin carries the same three or four valuableitems in its depths, so once you figure them out, remember to collect as many as possible. (2) Items are in abundance, and once you find the "rare items" such as Firefly Mushrooms, Green Moss, and Apple Grass, keep them. These are more valuable than your standard fare healing items (i.e. Naolins, Minnaolins, Red Vipers) and miscellaneous equipment (i.e. Fire Ball, Ice Ball, Sticky Ball), so when your inventory appears full, dispose of the cheaper belongings and save the valuable ones. That, and hunt down as many Angel Seeds and Upgrade Kits as you can - after adding slots to your favorite adventurers' Cyframes, they continue to pop up and sell for $1,000+. Don't get too excited, though. Once you pay off your $200,000 debt, Nina givesyou a Prehistoric Broach. I already had found one in my adventurers and I didn't equip it because the Prehistoric Pendants were more effective accessories. But hey, at least you thoroughly beat the game, right?! FINISH TIME - 49:30

Sovereign Duty Rules In 'Royal Chase'
Hudson River Farms' Sovereign Duty ambled around the Keeneland turf course before closing with a powerful late kick to take the $150,000 Royal Chase Sport of Kings Hurdle (NSA-I)(VIDEO) in Lexington April 17.
The 6-year-old Kimgmambo gelding came off an allowance hurdle victory going 1 ¼ miles at Camden to claim his fourth win in 17 career starts for trainer Jonathan Sheppard. It was the first graded score for the $425,000 Keeneland September yearling sale purchase, who completed the 2 ¼ miles under jockey Danielle Hodsdon in 4:58.13
At the start of the Royal Chase, Sheppard's other trainee – Sweet Shani – took the lead under jockey Xavier Azipuru and had six lengths on the field going into the first fence. Carrying 141, the eight-year-old Kashani mare was followed by Sovereign Duty, while Orison and Best Attack raced as a team. Feeling So Pretty and Swimming River brought up the rear.
That order remained mostly unchanged through three circuits of the track, until the final turn when Sweet Shani still maintained a lead on the field. Best Attack split from Orison and moved up to second, but Hodsdon had reserved just enough on Sovereign Duty to dive down to the inside and nip Swet Shani on the line. Only a neck separated the top two.
Sent off at odds of 5-2, Sovereign Duty returned $7.20, $3.40, and $2.40 while Sweet Shani paid $3.60 and $2.60 and Best Attack brought $3. Orison, Swimming River, and Feeling Pretty completed the order of finish. Preemptive Strike scratched.
Bred in Kentucky by William S. Farish Jr. out of the Nijinsky II mare Duty Dance, Sovereign Duty now holds a career record of 4-2-3 from 17 starts, with earnings of $208,249.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu facelift revealed
The end of the Maliblah?
Chevrolet has introduced the 2014 Malibu, ahead of its launch this fall.
Essentially an emergency facelift, the 2014 model features a revised front fascia with a more prominent grille and additional chrome trim.
Interior changes are more extensive as the Malibu gains a new center console with a longer armrest and two cell phone holders. The car also has new front seats (which improve rear-seat knee room) and a revised rear bench with improved cushion material.
Under the hood, there's a new 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with stop / start technology that should enable the sedan to return 23 mpg city / 35 mpg highway (US). It produces 196 bhp (145 kW) and 186 lb-ft (253 Nm) of torque and is connected to a revised six-speed automatic transmission that promises to deliver quicker shifts.
The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine has also been upgraded as it produces 259 bhp (193 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque - an increase of 35 lb-ft (47 Nm).
On the handling front, the 2014 Malibu has revised dampers, an improved power steering system and an upgraded braking system that promises to provide a "more confident feel."
Last but not least, the Malibu gains several new options including Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu is Roomier, More Efficient
- Fuel-saving start-stop technology added to standard model
- Rear knee room improved by 1.25 inches
- Chassis and suspension developments enhance drive experience
DETROIT – Chevrolet today unveiled the 2014 Malibu – a roomier, more refined and more efficient execution of its midsize sedan. Updated styling, a revised interior, a new 2.5L standard engine and suspension enhancements highlight the changes. It goes on sale this fall.
"The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu builds on the strengths established by the all-new 2013 Malibu to make it a stronger choice for customers," said Mark Reuss, president, General Motors North America. "The midsize sedan segment is the most contested in the industry and we're not sitting still with the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu."
The new and enhanced features include:
- Revised front-end appearance
- Roomier rear seat with 1.25 inches (31.7 mm) more knee room
- Redesigned center console
New 2.5L engine with variable valve lift control and start/stop technology helps deliver estimated fuel economy of 23 city / 35 highway – a 5-percent improvement in city mileage and 3-percent greater highway efficiency
Nearly 14 percent more torque from the available 2.0L turbo engine – 295 lb-ft of torque (400 Nm) – engineered for a greater feeling of power on demand
Suspension enhancements derived from the all-new 2014 Impala engineered to contribute to a more refined driving experience
New available Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert safety features
Malibu's revised front-end appearance is influenced by the all-new Impala, creating a more cohesive look across Chevrolet's sedan lineup. The front fascia features a new, more prominent lower grille and the hood extends down and over the leading edge of a narrower upper grille. The grille openings – with black grille texture – are wider and accented with chrome.
Inside, redesigned seats contribute to greater rear-seat space and greater comfort. The front seatbacks are shaped to improve rear-seat knee room, while new cushion sculpturing and revised cushion material allow passengers to sit deeper in the rear seats. Approximately half an inch was trimmed from the front of the rear seat cushion, for greater comfort behind passengers' legs.
The Malibu's redesigned center console has a longer armrest designed for greater comfort, along with a pair of cup holders and dedicated storage for two cell phones.
"We made changes within 18 months, demonstrating an unprecedented commitment to make the Malibu the best car it can be," said Ken Kelzer, executive chief engineer, global full-size and midsize cars. "The 2014 Malibu has been engineered to deliver more precise ride and handling that is on par with more expensive sports sedans."
More efficient, powerful powertrains
An all-new Ecotec 2.5L Intake Valve Lift Control DOHC four-cylinder engine with direct injection is the 2014 Malibu's standard engine. Its variable intake valve actuation enhances efficiency and helps lower emissions, while also enhancing low-rpm torque, for a greater feeling of power at lower speeds. When the iVLC system operates in low-lift mode, the engine pumps only the air it needs to meet the driver's demand. The system switches to high-lift mode at higher speeds or under heavy loads, providing the full output capability of the engine.
New start/stop technology shuts down the 2.5L engine to save fuel when the Malibu stops momentarily, such as at stoplights, contributing to an estimated 5-percent increase in city fuel economy. The engine automatically starts again when the driver takes his or her foot off the brake. An auxiliary battery powers electric accessories such as the climate system, power windows and radio during engine restarts.
The new 2.5L is SAE-certified at 196 horsepower (145 kW) and 186 lb-ft of torque (253 Nm). Revised transmission shift points and quicker shifts also enhance the feeling of performance – while delivering greater refinement.
Additionally, the 2014 Malibu's available 2.0L turbo engine delivers nearly 14 percent more torque than its predecessor. It is SAE-certified at 295 lb-ft (400 Nm). New engine calibration and tuning account for the improvement, making the Malibu 2.0L turbo's torque the best in the segment, even among competing six-cylinder-engines. The result is a stronger feeling of acceleration from a stop and a greater feeling of power on demand in almost all driving conditions.
The 2.0L turbo also produces an SAE-certified 259 horsepower (193 kW).
Chassis refinements
Chassis and suspension updates inspired by the all-new 2014 Impala also contribute to the 2014 Malibu's more refined driving experience, including rebound springs that are internal to the struts. They enable more refined calibration of the dampers for a smoother overall ride, while also improving body roll control and weight transfer during acceleration or turning. That helps keep the wheels planted, contributing to a more precise, controlled feel – especially while cornering.
Fuel-saving electric power rack-and-pinion variable-effort power steering is standard and enables nearly effortless low-speed maneuvers and a higher degree of steering feel at higher speeds. Revised, higher-effort calibrations for 2014 were engineered to improve the overall steering feel. Also, the Malibu's brake system has been revised to provide a more confident feel.
Additional chassis control technologies include four-channel anti-lock brakes, full-function traction control, four-corner electronic stability control, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist system, corner brake control, hydraulic brake fade assist and drag torque control.
Enhanced safety
New Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert safety features are offered, adding to the protection from a car that received a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score in the New Car Assessment Program from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a 2013 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Both are the highest ratings possible.
Malibu also comes with 10 standard air bags and an available rearview camera system.

It does seem like kind of a long while since I've been able to point to somebody stating tge obvious so I can restate it. But here's a repeat that seems so obvious that it's astonishing that it took several days for somebody -- Kurt Eichenwald at Vanity Fair -- to say it:
"(And before someone launches into the "F.I.S.A. is secret" wail, remember this: so are grand-jury investigations that result in subpoenas being issued in criminal cases.)"
As are Family Court, legal disciplinary proceedings and much else.

Going off topic. 1984 was written by George Orwell in 1948. Big Brother. I read this book in 1969 as a freshman in High School. Secrecy is needed to keep the security of a country but if action is not taken it is a waste of time and privacy.
9/11 was known. Dec. 7th was known. Benghazi was known. Yet it happened. Seems something is lacking. Secrecy is not the same as transparency. I believe that if there is transparency for our President than we as Americans should be transparent as well with nothing to hide. Secrecy and privacy are needed.
Facebook and tweeters seems to be the public way of spreading secrecy around. With modern technology from 1948 to now is a big difference. The World ate an apple computer and now they know they are naked.

Glacier wreckage is 1950s military plane
52 were aboard when Globemaster went down
In this Monday June 25, 2012 photo provided by the U.S. Army, a Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) recovery team works at the site where military aircraft wreckage was found on Colony Glacier, Alaska. The surface was marked with deep crevasses so the team took numerous safety precautions to mitigate the risk. The five-man team initially went out to investigate the area, but deteriorating conditions on the glacier caused the team to transition into recovery mode to ensure the most amount of evidence could be recovered for further analysis at JPAC's Central Identification Laboratory.
AP Photo/Jamie D. Dobson/U.S. Army
The wreckage of a military plane found this month on Colony Glacier is that of an Air Force plane that crashed in 1952, killing all 52 people aboard, military officials said Wednesday.
Army Capt. Jamie Dobson said evidence found at the crash site correlates with the missing C-124A Globemaster, but the military is not eliminating other possibilities because much investigation still needs to be done.
Processing DNA samples from relatives of those on board the plane could take up to six years, Dobson said.
"We're still at the very beginning of this investigation," she said. "This is very close to the starting line, not the finish line."
The Alaska National Guard discovered the wreckage and possibly bones June 10 on the glacier about 40 miles east of Anchorage. The wreckage was spotted soon after the heavy transport plane vanished Nov. 22, 1952, with 41 passengers and 11 crew members, but it became buried in snow and likely churned beneath the surface of the glacier for decades, Dobson said.
"The ice gives up what it wants to give up when it wants to give it up," she said. "It's really in control."
The plane went down on a flight from McChord Air Force Base in Washington state.
An Associated Press report on Nov. 24, 1952, said the Globemaster was the third big Air Force transport plane to crash or vanish in Alaska that month and the sixth around the Pacific Rim.
Soon after the crash, a 12-member military team tried three times to make it to the site, but was thwarted by bad weather, said Tonja Anderson, whose grandfather Isaac Anderson was among those on board the doomed flight. The 41-year-old Tampa, Fla., woman has researched the crash for 12 years since her grandmother, now deceased, gave her details of the airman who died at age 21, leaving behind a young widow and 1 ½-year-old son.
"I'm overwhelmed," Anderson said Wednesday about the positive identification. It's something she has tried to long get from the military, she said, only to be told that recovering the remains from the plane's hidden grave was unfeasible and would be too expensive.
"If they can bring me one bone of my grandfather or his dog tag, that would be closure for me," she said.
Days after the Globemaster went down, a member of the Fairbanks Civil Air Patrol, along with a member of the 10th Air Rescue Squadron, landed at a glacier in the area and positively identified the wreckage as the Globemaster.
According to an AP account, the civil air patrol member was Terris Moore, who was president of the University of Alaska. After returning from the site, he told reporters that the plane "obviously was flying at full speed" when it hit Mount Gannett, sliding down the snow-covered cliffs, exploding and disintegrating over two or three acres.
Only the tail and flippers of the craft were intact, but the tail numbers were enough for an identification. Moore said blood was found on a piece of blanket and there was a "sickly-sweet smell of death."
The debris was discovered June 14 while Alaska National Guardsmen were flying a Blackhawk helicopter during a training mission near the glacier. The guardsmen flew over the area several times.
Federal aviation officials implemented temporary flight restrictions over the area while the military investigation was conducted.
An eight-man Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command arrived last week, military officials said. It completed its work Tuesday at the glacier.
The team recovered materials like a life-support system from the wreckage and possible bones from the glacier. The evidence was being taken to the command's lab in Hawaii for analysis.
Associated Press researcher Susan James in New York contributed to this report.

A little over a year ago, Peter P. was in a terrible car accident. He was in intensive care at a big university hospital for weeks and weeks, and for a while his doctors worried that he wouldn't walk again. He obviously couldn't come along on our regular fall golf outing to Atlantic City, less than two months after the accident, so Reese and I made a life-size stand-in, called Flat Pete, using the color plotter in Reese's office and a sheet of foamboard. One interesting thing we learned on the trip is that, if you want to make a good impression on female bartenders, it doesn't hurt to be a half-inch thick:
Peter has made a slow but steady recovery since then. We've told him many times that we would make any conceivable accommodation to get him into our weekend game again, but he has said that he won't come back to the Sunday Morning Group until he can play 18 holes without a cart. Many of us have seen him working toward that goal, on the course and on the range, using a 4-iron or his putter as a cane.
Bob has always had a complicated relationship with the game. I wrote about him in Golf Digest in 2003, in an essay called "The Greenkeeper's Tale." One of the complications is his back, and another is his feelings about doctors. Once, he suffered an attack of kidney stones, a recurrent ailment of his. Diane, his wife, was out of town, and Bob stubbornly writhed on the floor of his living room all alone for several hours. When he could no longer tolerate the agony, he crawled to the telephone and called Ferris, who is a former chairman of our golf club. Ferris is the only member of the medical profession who has ever won Bob's trust. When Bob's back is really killing him, he will sometimes drive over to Ferris's office and ask him to take a look. Ferris is a veterinarian. Among the records in the files at his animal hospital is a chart on which the name of the patient is listed as "Bob" and the name of the patient's owner is listed as "Diane." (On the night of the kidney-stone attack, Ferris took Bob to the emergency room of a hospital for people.) In the photo below, Bob and I are watching the putting contest from the patio above the practice green:
It would be hard to say which was more remarkable: the fact that Peter managed 45 holes in two days, or that Bob did. In a way, they were ideal partners, since each gave the other an incentive to stick it out. They didn't win their flight, but they did beat Ed and Nulty, who ended up winning the whole thing; that made them the real champions, according to some methods of calculating these things. And Bob played in the unofficial one-club cross-country tournament that followed the final shootout, and even joined the diehards who went to a bar in town after all the Polish vodka was gone -- two developments not witnessed previously. Reese joined everyone, too, after remembering, at 8:00, that his wife, Vi, had made a dinner reservation for 6:30. Here's Peter in a golf cart with Other Gene during the shoot-out, in a photo taken by Vi.
Both of them look better than they did in Atlantic City last year:
Peter's walking isn't perfect yet, but his hook doesn't hook as much as it used to (a good thing), and he's getting better at getting around without a cane:

Route Grade Votings
Adjacent Routes
A superb route which can be done in one 30m pitch to a half-height lower-off but is better done in two to the high lower-off. 1) 4+. Either line of bolts to the scoop stance. 2) 6a+. Great climbing between 2 tufas. Ignore the halfway lower-off unless belaying from the ground 30m below. There are bolts above pitch 2 but not enough to make a pitch.

You ask who is asking for our guns. Do you read the news, watch television or listen to the radio? What do you think these laws entail? Do you even have a clue or are you just talking to talk? Apparently you didn't see what Gov. Cuomo wanted in our new bill (and did not get); it was to confiscate our weapons. Sen. (Diane) Feinstein is putting forth a bill in which, assault weapons (all), rifles (some), pistols/handguns and shot guns will be illegal to own but police and government officials may own them. The one she wants to pass but knows it won't is to ban guns altogether. No one minds the background or the NICS check, it is the weapons and ammo we wish to purchase or have that will be kept in a data base that I mind. It's none of the government's business or yours to which weapons I own, how many or how much ammo I purchase and who are you or they to tell me it is? Why does the government or you for that matter think you have the right to tell me how many rounds I can have in my clip or magazine or what gun I can purchase? Since I am a responsible gun owner do you not think I know how many rounds I might need? Do you know what the Second Amendment even states (hint: it has nothing to do with hunting) "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" and upheld by the Supreme Court. The governors, senators, congress and other legislators take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America which includes the Second Amendment. Something they need to remember. If I do not break the law or haven't broken the law what does it matter what I own? It is an insult to me and impugns my reputation as a responsible law abiding citizen and gun owner.

We have no idea why he resisted or why there was a struggle? Do we?
Supposed to be impartial the law and I am not so fast to judge. We need more information about this story. How many of your co-workers just "love you" especially if you work hard. We don't have enough information.
If a person is laid off in a field it does not mean that is not their field of work, it just means they are not currently employed.
It all depends on what context. If a person works as a pipefitter or accountant and somebody says kind of work you do, or what do you do, and they say "I'm a pipefitter ' it does not mean they currently are a pipefitter ...that is still their job field. They did not say he was wearing a uniform. I could see if he had his uniform on? Also, was he getting unemployment ? Still getting unemployment benefits? Seems to me he might have answered based on what his field of work is not necessarily that he was currently doing that job. Like, if somebody said "I'm an architect" does not mean they are currently working.
I don't see where they can say he is impersonating. He is a cop, laid off , but still a cop. They are wrong on this one.
I agree, nobody seems to be minding the shop anywhere. I guess they are all playing on the internet or something.
Sounds like the water company should have never told him that the problem with his water pressure was a frozen line in the system. This diagnosis by the water company to the home owner made the situation a crisis leading to the high water bill. Had the water company told him there were no problems with the water going from the street to his house and to call a plumber to inspect his pipes, the man would have done such.
The water company needs to pay this bill and credit the customer.
Spying on people and secretly taping or recording their private thoughts or actions and then streaming it over the internet without their knowledge is wrong.
Why should the voters decide? Are you going to have them decide what religions should be allowed,too?
Straights are always saying don't push it in their face but they are the ones pushing all the time. Interesting how they want to be the only ones that can stand around at work and talk about their spouses and families -have photo's on the desk and etc, but if a gay person wants to do that,too, they call it "the downfall of America" LOL, as I said before if there is any downfall it is your 50% divorce rate and clogged family court system that the heterosexuals have jammed with their social problems.
You are absolutely correct and if the discrimination never happened in the first place maybe gay people would not have married women only to then get a divorce. Also, maybe gay people would not be such a mystery to straight people if they grew up with them as equals instead of calling them deviants. By the way, when people throw religion in it , it always cracks me up since there are so many religious denominations with each one saying the other is not going to heaven. You might not be for gays or gay marriage, but you better defend there right. Today people go after the gays and gay marriage, tomorrow who do they go after? Jews? Catholics? Methodists?
Isn't divorce deviant behavior to Christians?
Interesting factoids.
I guess with the heterosexual marriages at a 50% failure and divorce rate (not to mention all the ones living together in *sin*) the fall of the empire got a good start. Eh?
So what is wrong with that? You don't like Captain America, don't go see it. Sheesh.
The article is interesting since we normally do not see bears in S NJ especially Millville. It was good she notified the DEP to protect others in case the bear is injured, sick, or hungry.
All of the sudden the Democrats are worried about who was hurt? Give me a break. They would not hesitate to push somebody out of the way for one of their own.
How many over 40 people are dragging themselves out to the movies? Not many, so the actors are more likely younger to appeal to the under 40
Too many joggers and walkers on the bike paths if you mean the parks and woods. Cities are making more bike paths on the roads, but I bet cars would veer into those white lined bike paths. I've seen it and had to brake.
Some of them do, but then so do some drivers in auto's. We can't ban everybody just because of a few. Can we?

The Resource Advisory Committee for the Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests (FMS RAC) is seeking applications for projects that restore and improve land health and water quality on the national forests in Berkeley, Newberry and Union counties. The FMS RAC will have an estimated $100,000 to spend on projects through September 30.
"I encourage applicants to get their projects in as soon as possible, but definitely by June 6," said Rick Lint, forest supervisor for the Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests. "That way, the RAC will have many projects to choose from that will benefit local communities and the state as a whole."
The FMS RAC is a collaboration of citizens, county personnel and agency specialists to identify projects that will enhance national forest lands. The committee works closely with the U.S. Forest Service and county officials to recommend projects that will benefit forest health, fish, wildlife, soils, watersheds and other resources. Project sites may be on federal lands or on non-federal lands where activities would help sustain national forest resources in Union, Newberry and Berkeley counties. Fifty percent of the funds must be used for stream and watershed restoration or for road maintenance, decommissioning or obliteration. Some examples of acceptable projects include: maintaining roads, trails and other infrastructure, or controlling noxious weeds.
Funds are made available through the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act. Projects can be completed in three ways: by Forest Service personnel, through partnership agreements or by open-bid contracting with individuals and corporations.
