Unpacking the Bookstore
By Nick DiUlio
For Laurence Roth, professor of English and director of the Jewish Studies Program at Susquehanna University, the bookstore has always been about more than mere commerce. Growing up in Los Angeles, Roth's father owned the largest Jewish bookstore in the country. And it was there—while sitting behind the counter and listening to customers' conversations, or wandering the myriad aisles that overflowed with hundreds of books—that Roth came to see the bookstore as so much more.
"I like to say that I was raised in a Jewish household, but I really grew up in a Jewish bookstore," says Roth, who, in addition to teaching courses on topics such as Jewish literature, contemporary American literature and literary theory, is also the author of Inspecting Jews: American Jewish Detective Stories and editor of Modern Language Studies, the scholarly journal of the Northeast Modern Language Association.
"That bookstore was not only my introduction to literature but also my introduction to the social world surrounding books," says Roth, who is currently working on a memoir/critical study called Unpacking My Father's Bookstore: Collection, Commerce, Literature. "For me it was all about the people you interacted with as well as the books themselves. Literature is an embodied experience that happens between the people you meet as well as between the brain and the page."
Those formative experiences have been the catalyst for much of Roth's work at Susquehanna, including the formation of a brand new course called Unpacking The Bookstore, which had its first run at the university last fall and will likely be back on the academic calendar in 2015. Combining online and traditional classroom work, the course required students to use digital technology to research five of the world's most famous bookstores from both material culture and literary perspectives, making it the first publicly visible hybrid course at Susquehanna.
The idea first came to Roth a few years ago when he realized there wasn't a single course offered by Susquehanna's literature department that looked closely at bookstores, either as cultural hubs or economic enterprises. What's more, Roth was already intrigued by the possibility of combining classroom instruction with student assignments generated entirely online.
Using his memoir project as a blueprint, Roth began designing the course in the spring of 2012. The initiative for the course grew out of a collaboration between Roth, the digital storytelling nonprofit Citizen Film, and the New Media in Jewish Studies Collaborative at Columbia University, an incubation tank for innovation following the new, visual turn in contemporary Judaic Studies scholarship. The work of the collaborative is made possible by the San Francisco–based Jim Joseph Foundation, building on an ignition grant awarded to Citizen Film by the Covenant Foundation.
"For some time now I've been keenly aware that the digital world is fast becoming a part of the educational environment," says Roth. "This was my chance to show how Jewish Studies scholarship is responding to that, and to truly fuse the benefits of the classroom with new forms of writing. But it also meant that I had to rethink the way I taught a course. It was almost like starting from scratch as a teacher."
Sure, the idea sounds great on paper. Since students are increasingly engaging with content written for an online audience, why not give them an opportunity to generate that content themselves? The execution, however, was not nearly as simple.
When it comes to writing online as opposed to crafting a traditional academic paper, students are bound by a different set of rules. For one, their writing must be shorter since brevity is a key component to effectively capturing an online audience. Secondly, the style of the writing must change, evolving from the overly formal framework of academic essays into a more casual and conversational voice.

A Prison Diary Volume II: purgatory

A Prison Diary Volume II: purgatory
Jeffrey Archer Macmillan, 310pp, £16.99
by Ann Widdecombe Published
I have been in 135 prisons, Jeffrey Archer has been in three. The difference is that my stays were for a maximum of five hours and his were for many months. So I was quite surprised that I read all of Hell (Archer's first prison diary) and the first 200 pages of Purgatory before learning something I did not already know - namely, that it is an offence to fall asleep fully clothed. This intrigued me because it is not an offence to lie in bed for half the morning if you are not scheduled for work or education.
It is a trivial matter, but it sums up all that frustrates me about the absence of serious and purposeful activity in prisons whose stated objective is, dash it, to prepare prisoners to lead useful and law-abiding lives upon release. You will contribute little to society by lying in bed during the working day, but you will do it no harm whatever if you are so worn out with work at the end of it that you nod off before getting undressed.
In Purgatory, the diary of two months' incarceration in Wayland Prison, Archer both succeeds in portraying the mind-numbing existence of a prisoner in 21st-century Britain and fails to provide any serious examination of the state of our prisons. This is largely, I realise, because there is a strain of self-pity - leavened with humour and some pithy observation - that was less obvious in Hell, the tale of his incarceration in a high-security prison.
For a man with his energy, the confines of the exercise yard prove a sore trial, and he remarks that he wishes Mr Justice Potts, the trial judge who sentenced him, could join him for just a few paces. But, Jeffrey, it was you, not the judge, who was convicted of conspiracy to commit perjury in a case from which you walked away with more than half a million pounds. I admit I found the verdict a bit odd, in that one of the defendants was acquitted and one convicted, for how is it possible to have a conspiracy of one? Nevertheless, you were found guilty and it is hard to see how you were not going to end up in prison.
Archer then highlights the unacceptability of two men sharing a cell with the lavatory and a tray of food. Agreed. Then, however, he makes the crass observation that the prison service prefers to pay a hefty fine to Europe for doing this, rather than sort out the problem. The prison service has no such preference, and has for many years sought to reduce this sort of overcrowding, but it is at the mercy of the courts as to how many inmates it must accommodate, and at the mercy of government as to the number of prisons.
The next whinge is that preachers in the prison chapel always pitch their messages at inmates rather than treat them as "normal human beings". In this case, the sermon was about failure and second chances. Dear me, Jeffrey, that is pretty central to the Christian message and was probably being preached that Sunday to thousands of "normal human beings" in churches all over the country.
Despite his tendency to self-pity and some awful blunders (among them the endearingly schoolboyish howler of confusing pharaohs with Pharisees and the perpetual confusion of time added to sentence with loss of remission), Archer is in splendid form. There he is, waiting in mental anguish for his release to an open prison while jeopardising it by arranging to pay another prisoner, by means of postal orders sent in from outside, to wangle extra canteen supplies. It takes him scarcely five minutes to find someone to do his laundry for him, to put up a curtain in his cell and to smuggle him extra towels. When he goes to the prison library, the first thing he does is see if his own books are there. They are not and he tells us why, but neglects to make the more important point that the most popular borrowings are of books on true crime.
But that is small beer compared to his attempts to buy an emerald for Mary and a Botero painting via a prisoner who has a connection, in Bogota, with the mother of the artist.
There is a great deal of writing about what he or other inmates have seen on television, which appears to be the main way of whiling away the hours of lock-up. It makes me wonder what they all did before they were allowed TVs in their cells (which happened only under the current government - Michael Howard was unpersuadable on the subject).
Archer paints a bleak but true picture of life in prison. The staff come out of it well, the governor much less so, being invisible. The days are largely idle (though not for Archer, who writes voraciously), the wings are drug-ridden, education is liable to cancellation and is not rigorous, violence always lies just below the surface, sometimes erupting horribly, noise and dirt abound, and far more time is spent trying to find ways round the rules than in any sort of purposeful activity.
Archer would not have spent two months in Wayland but for the spite of Emma Nicholson. But this much good has come out of it - the public has a better notion of what goes on in our prisons. What Archer has written is not original, but it is vivid and disturbing, and will reach a vastly wider audience than any academic treatise or political pamphlet on the subject. Whether it has any impact on life in our prisons is another matter.

Rabbi Kate Palley
In September, Rabbi Kate Palley became Susquehanna's first director of Jewish life. Working independently and as part of the university chaplain's office, Palley oversees the activities of the Jewish student organization, Hillel, and teaches academic courses supporting the Jewish studies minor and Central Curriculum. She initiates programs; facilitates interreligious dialogue; and coordinates religious celebrations, learning opportunities, and social and cultural events as part of her position. Susquehanna Currents caught up with Palley during the festival of Sukkot, and even the 20-mile-per-hour winds that threatened the sukkah constructed on the lawn of the Charles B. Degenstein Campus Center couldn't extinguish her enthusiasm for the job.
SC: As the first director of Jewish life at Susquehanna, what do you hope to bring to campus and what changes do you hope to see here?
KP: I'm hoping to bring a Jewish voice to campus diversity. The campus has not really encountered active Jewish life; we're learning together. A lot of people aren't really sure what Judaism means. It's a living religion, and I want to celebrate and infuse the joy of Judaism as a living religion.
SC: How have your previous experiences prepared you for the new challenges you'll encounter at Susquehanna?
KP: I worked at Oberlin College with Hillel, striving to make Jewish life vibrant there. The number-one way I'm trying to approach this experience is by listening. I see myself as a facilitator as we evolve and create a uniquely Susquehanna Jewish culture.
SC: What kinds of dialogue would you like to see taking place at SU, especially within individual religious life groups, but also on the campus as a whole?
KP: There are so many conversations to be had, again, because we're all learning. But in particular, I think there are two kinds of conversation to engage in. One is how we're similar, and, of course, there are a lot of similarities. But I think it's OK to say we're different as well. As a result, I'm interested more in modeling than dialogue, creating a model of living Judaism— a new, modern image of what a Jew can be. I want to look at individual practices, too. There are a lot of suppositions about who a Jew is and what a Jew is supposed to be; it's difficult even within the Jewish community.
SC: What excites you most about your work here?
KP: The fact that this campus is actively embracing diversity and working hard to achieve it is huge. I got here and just had this sense that people were hungry for it—that students, faculty and staff want to know and learn. We want everyone to be embraced, and in a supportive environment like this, the sky is really the limit.

How Do I Adjust My Holley 4 Barrel CarburetorPosted in Fuel Systems & Components
Where are the adjuster screws ? & how many are there???
Where are the adjuster screws ? & how many are there???
This question is a little too technical to answer in this space. This procedure is so critical to your being able to even start the engine if you mess up, that an answer may do more harm than good.
Look in you local phone book and find a speed shop and go there and have one of the guys (or Girls) show you. It really is that critical.
On most Holley carb you have got two air idle screws they are on the side of the carb just behind the front fuel bole. their is the float adjustment on top of the fuel boles. and you have got a idle screw that's on the throttle shaft. now on adjustment first the fuel boles if they have got sight glass they are clear plugs on the fuel boles the fuel should be just at the bottom of them if i doe's not have site glass their should have plugs that you can take out. next the idle air you have to set them even so if you give left side two turn-es you have to do the same on the right how to adjust is ween the motor pick up RPM then turn the other side same a mount and that should be pretty close hope this give you some help but this is the basics

Organized May 11, 1864; consolidated March, 1865 with 20th (Russell's) Regiment; paroled at Gainesville, Alabama May, 1865 as the 19th and 20th Tennessee Cavalry Regiment.
When Major General N. B. Forrest took command of the cavalry forces in West Tennessee and North Mississippi late in 1863, he found things in a chaotic condition, with many skeletal organizations, some of which existed mainly on paper. He informed the commanders that unless they assembled their commands by February 5, 1864, he would reconstruct them, consolidating skeletal companies into full companies, and skeletal battalions and regiments into new regiments, to which he assumed and executed the power of appointing the field officers. His actions were approved and confirmed by the Adjutant and Inspector General's Office in July 1864. This regiment was one of the new regiments so constructed, Six companies being composed largely of men who had served in Newsom's Regiment, the other four being the Tennessee companies in Colonel Jeffrey E. Forrest's Alabama Regiment. Colonel Jeffrey E. Forrest had been killed before the transfer took place.
Colonel-John F. Newsom
Lieutenant Colonel-Dew Moore Wisdom
Major-W. Y. Baker
The regimental roster dated May 22, 1864, bore this notation: "This regiment was raised by authority of Major General Forrest under his authority to organize troops, official copies of which authority I will file at the Adjutant and Inspector General's Office." Signed: I. P Johnson, Lieutenant Colonel, Assistant Adjutant and Inspector General.
The regiment was placed in Brigadier General Abraham Buford's Division, Colonel (later Brigadier General) Tyree H. Bell's Brigade. An Inspection Report dated June 10, 1864, of Buford's Division showed Bell's Brigade as composed of the 2nd (Barteau's), 15th (Russell's), 16th (Wilson's), also Newsom's Regiment, "formed recently by the union of a fragment of Forrest's Old Regiment and Newsom's Battalion. This entire brigade, except seven companies of the 2nd Tennessee, and four companies of Newsom's Regiment were newly organized." This report is indicative of the confusion that existed as to the numbers and organizations of the Tennessee Cavalry Regiments. The Adjutant and Inspector General's Office designation of Russell's Regiment was the 2Oth; of Wilson's, the 21st; of Barteau's, the 22nd. Also, the Inspector had confused Forrest's Old Regiment with Colonel Jeffrey E. Forrest's Alabama Regiment. On June 26, General Forrest reported: "Russell's, Wilson's, Greer's and a portion of Newsom's Regiments were consolidated into two regiments. I have since organized a third regiment composed of a part of Newsom's Regiment, the Tennessee companies of Forrest 5 Alabama Regiment and other unattached companies." General Forrest's reference here was to the old irregular organizations which existed before he assumed command.
A regimental report dated June 30, 1864 at Tupelo, Mississippi, stated: "This regiment since its organization has been engaged in two actions with the enemy. At Tuscumbia Creek, a detachment of this regiment under its colonel captured a superior force of Yankees, and saved Corinth from destruction by fire and sword, as such was the avowed intention of the Federal raiders. In the Battle of Brice's Crossroads, or Tishomingo Creek, under Lieutenant Colonel Wisdom, it behaved gallantly as the list of casualties will show. It has done scouting and marching of the most dangerous and important character." In General Buford's report of this action, he stated Newsom's Regiment suffered severely, and had to give way, but upon being reenforced, regained its former position. The report of casualties listed Newsom's Regiment as the 19th Tennessee and showed 22 casualties.
This was the only report found from the regiment. However, it was also heavily engaged on July 13, in the Battle of Harrisburg, Mississippi when Lieutenant General Stephen D. Lee, with Forrest as second in command, met and drove back the Federal expedition under Major General A. I. Smith. Here it reported 95 casualties including Colonel Newsom, who was wounded.
This was the last report found of any specific engagement in which the regiment was involved, but it continued in Bell's Brigade until the end. On August 30, Barteau's Regiment was still listed as the 2nd Tennessee, Newsom's as the 19th Tennessee, but Russell's was properly listed as the 20th, and Wilson's as the 21st. On September 30, Newsom's was listed as the 18th, one of the few times it was so reported.
On November 20, 1864, Bell's Brigade was reported as composed of the 7th Alabama, 2nd (Barteau's), 15th (Russell's), 16th (Wilson's), 19th Tennessee, under Lieutenant Colonel William Walker, Newsom's Tennessee Regiment, and Duff's Mississippi Cavalry. Here was another example of confusion, with the 19th Tennessee and Newsom's Regiment being listed as separate organizations. Lieutenant Colonel William Walker has been a major in Duff's 19th Mississippi Battalion, and later lieutenant colonel of the 8th Mississippi Regiment, which probably accounted for the confusion in listing him in command of the 19th Tennessee Regiment. By March 1865, Belrs Brigade was in Brigadier General William H. Jackson's Division, which on March 22 had headquarters at West Point, Mississippi. On this date orders were issued: "Colonel John F. Newsom, 19th Tennessee Cavalry, will proceed to West Tennessee to collect all men absent from this command, and keep them in camp under strict rule and discipline."
On May 3, 1865, the 19th and 20th Cavalry Consolidated reported 29 officers, 217 men present for duty, 283 present, 428 present and absent. These, of course, were Newsom's and Russell's Regiments.
On May 13, Lieutenant Colonel Wisdom, 19th Tennessee Cavalry, was advised by Brevet Major General Edward Hatch, U.S.A., then at Eastport, Mississippi, to assemble his men for parole on the same terms as those accorded General Robert E. Lee by General U S. Grant. On May 18, General Hatch advised Major General George H. Thomas, Commanding Department of the Cumberland, that the 19th Tennessee Cavalry was at Corinth, Mississippi to be paroled.
The regiment was paroled at Gainesville, Alabama as part of the 19th and 20th Consolidated Regiments.

Having been to a couple of Big Ang parties in our life (yes, it's true, and it might just be our only real claim to fame), we can attest to the fact that the woman knows how to have a good time. In true Ang form, she invited some of her closest pals for an intimate evening at the Drunken Monkey this past Sunday for a Mob Wives premiere party, and right down to the hilarious, busty cake, it looks like it was a wonderful time. Besides the hostess, Mob Wives co-star Carla Facciolo was there, as were some of the Big Ang crew like Janine Detore, Neil Murphy (Ang's hubby), Drop Dead Jen, and Linda Torres, plus a few special friends from Jersey Shore and Tough Love, and more. Take a peek at some of our favorite photos of the party in our gallery below.

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 29, 1998 One Friday night in late May 1970 Donald Preiss was preparing for a night of fun when bearers of devastating news knocked on his door.
"My whole life changed from getting ready to go out with the guys to holding on to my mother as we spoke to two Army officers," said Preiss. "They had the uncomfortable task of being the messengers to deliver the news that Bobby was missing in action."
The officers told Preiss and his parents that Army Staff Sgt. Robert Preiss was missing in action May 12, 1970, while leading a six-man Special Forces reconnaissance team in Vietnam. Efforts to recover his body failed because of heavy enemy action and difficult terrain. Six days later, a recovery team was unable to locate Preiss' body. The team reported that a rockslide had covered the body with large boulders.
Preiss said about two months later, on July 18, the family received notice that Bobby had been killed.
Then after nearly 25 years of anguish and uncertainty, the Preiss family received a morsel of hope. In March 1995, joint U.S. and Lao teams began searching the area where Preiss was killed. On the fourth try, in February of this year, members of the Joint Task Force Full Accounting and the Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii recovered human remains and personal effects they believed could be Preiss'.
"My brother was the only one killed within a 10-square-mile area," Donald Preiss said. "The Army contacted two guys in Atlanta who were with my brother in Laos the day he was killed. They questioned the guys about the kind of material they left behind and if it matched everything the military found."
The results of DNA testing, anthropological analysis of the remains and other evidence confirmed Robert Preiss' identity. DoD officials notified the family on June 8 of this year. After memorial services in Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, N.Y., the fallen soldier's remains were to be buried with military honors on Aug. 3 at Arlington (Va.) National Cemetery.
The family chose Arlington over the family's burial site because, Donald Preiss said, "my brother was big on soldiering -- a proud soldier, a very good soldier."
When DoD officials told Preiss that his brother's remains might have been found in Laos, he and his two sisters were "guardedly excited." But "we were worried," Preiss said.
Donald Preiss and his wife, Kathleen, live in Cornwall with their four children. His sister, Carole Fitzgerell, 57, lives in Inverness, Fla., and is a human resources manager for a chain of banks. His other sister, Susan Martin, 49, is a medical center administrator in Fishkill, N.Y., and has two children.
Myriad questions flooded their minds: "Is it really possible for them to get my brother's remains out? Could a monsoon wash them away before they could get them out? Are they really sure it's my brother's remains?"
"Our reactions to Bobby's death are the same," he said. "We all suffered through the last three-and-a-half years with great anxiety and hope. Preiss, 45, said his older brother was 25 when he was killed. "He would be 53 now," he noted.
He said the whole family has been saddened and in anguish since his brother's death. But, he said, "probably the biggest sadness is the fact that our mom and dad will never get to see his remains brought home for burial -- especially our mom. Mom passed away in April 1984 and Dad died in November 1996."
"Our mom never gave up on the thought that he could still be alive and that he would knock on the door some day," Preiss said. "This thought lasted for 14 years until her death. I personally watched my mother die of a broken heart. "
When people talk about war and casualties suffered, he said, "the numbers are much greater when you consider what happens to families of all the wounded or killed from both sides. Until you suffer through this experience you do not know about it.
"We think the work the Joint Task Force Full Accounting did was unbelievable," Preiss said, "and my family will never forget them.
"It has been very difficult dealing with the death of my brother. After all these years you heal a bit."

Useful information on Rachel Gannon
* Reformed drug addict.
Past: Counselor at the Llanview Rehab Center
Past: Social Worker at a Chicago Treatment Center
Past: Partner of a music company
Past: Prostitute
Past: College Student
After moving from Chicago, Rachel joined her divorced parents, Nora and Hank, in Llanview in 1992 and immediately enrolled at Llanview University. While helping her friend Kevin Buchanan fight for his son, Kevin and Rachel became an item. Though Rachel stood by Kevin during the Marty Saybrooke rape case, the couple fizzled out, leaving Rachel to date Dr. Ben Price, to which she helped him uncover the cause of the flu that swept through Llanview.
Rachel warmed to her Uncle RJ, who came to town in later years, but was briefly disappointed when he tried to destroy her father's reputation. This adult rivalry went on for many years, and Rachel always tried to be the voice of reason. Feeling the pressure of college, expected to become as successful as her father, Rachel became hooked on drugs. Though Rachel was sent to rehab at St. Ann's, she later escaped, ran with the wrong crowd in New York City and found herself deeper into drugs, as well as prostitution!
Through the help of many, Rachel was brought home and overcame her addition. Her family had a scare when Nora admitted to having an affair with Hank's brother RJ, but after her paternity was revealed to be Hank's daughter, and through much healing, Rachel went into business with her Uncle RJ at Club Indigo.
Rachel found herself in quite the bind after befriending a Llanview newcomer Georgie Phillips, whose sole purpose was to seduce Rachel's stepfather Bo and make life hell for her mother Nora. After Georgie turned up dead, many were accused of her murder until the memories of Rachel killing her came to! Though Nora and Rachel briefly ran from the law, to avoid jail time, Rachael came forward and confessed and did six months in Statesville.
After her release, Rachel moved back to Chicago and threw herself into Social Work. She's visited Llanview a time of two over the years and made another return to help her mother and Matthew during his paralysis.
Rachel began dating Shaun and couldn't stand his arrogant brother, Greg, Matthew's doctor, when he came to town. As the tensions grew between the two, little by little a spark ignited - one neither could deny. However, her closeness to Schuyler Joplin, who Greg knew broke hospital regulations, and Rachel's unwillingness to tell Greg what she knew about it ultimately ended their relationship.
Shortly after, Rachel left Llanview to go be with her friend in Chicago.

Schuyler wakes up in his apartment, finds Sierra gone and remembers what Allison did to him. When he goes to call the police, he finds a note on the phone reading: I wouldn't do that if I were you. He finds a video from Allison, who has Sierra, warning to wait for instructions. Someone comes through the door, and Schuyler almost takes Rachel's head off. He apologizes, and Rachel talks about a trip to Chicago - she has to pack - but wonders what's gotten into him. "I'm trying to protect my daughter," Schuyler says then backtracks and claims Sierra is sleeping in the bedroom. Once alone, the phone rings, and Schuyler starts yelling, thinking it's Allison, but it's Tea, wondering where he is. Schuyler can't say but warns he won't be in court.
Over at the apartment, Rachel says goodbye to Schuyler then leaves for Chicago, leaving Schuyler screaming at his phone - for Allison to call. Tea arrives, and Schuyler reluctantly tells her Sierra has been kidnapped.
Over at Schuyler's apartment, Rex rants that he's already taken so much from Gigi and asks that Schuyler give Sierra back to her. Though Schuyler loves Gigi, he refuses to give up his daughter - but Rex isn't asking, he's telling him to! "I'm not giving her back," Schuyler screams. "You and Gigi have no claim on her." After Schuyler says Gigi will come back to him, after she finds out Rex wasn't able 'to deliver', Rex lunges to punch him - but Schuyler punches Rex first! Rachel rushes from the bedroom to break them up and reminds them both to grow up - there's a baby in the other room! "You guys want to be parents," Rachel scolds. "Stop acting like children!" Rex vows he and Gigi will get Sierra back - then Schuyler will never see him again. "I'm going to do what you did to me… I'm going to take it all… your kid, Gigi, even your career. You'll have nothing." Rex warns then leaves. Schuyler picks up Sierra and promises to never let her go - no matter what they say.

Here's the deal, if you haven't seen it. Facebook published a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences about manipulating users' emotional states. I'll talk about the study first, and then make my case for why you should quit Facebook too.
The study is extremely limited, as far as it goes. If you take a good look at the methodology, you discover that the measure for emotional states was counting positive versus negative words, via software. The most obvious objection to this methodology is actual language use: if you are even occasionally sarcastic ("Oh, good, a car ran over my foot" — "Oh boy, I sure do love it when I'm hit by a car and don't have health insurance"), you know that the words can be positive and the meaning negative. So let's not over-generalize: this is not actually about emotional states, because we're using such a shoddy tool for measuring them.
But okay, we'll proceed within the limitations. I love limitations! What it looks like is an algorithm tweak — meant to keep you more engaged with Facebook.
Some people are upset about experimenting on Facebook users; it seems to violate the idea of "informed consent." Now, Facebook's reply is that all of these things are covered in the user agreement. As far as I know, this is true — like you, I haven't read the terms of service. That's why they're written in such terrible legal jargon — you aren't meant to read them. Only lawyers, ideally Facebook's, are meant to read them. Think of all the productive hours of your life, and how much they would be shortened if you read all the TOS for all the platforms you use.
This violates at least the spirit of informed consent. Here's a checklist from the Department of Health and Human Services for informed consent. I will go ahead and list the violations:
- no statement on the research
- no explanation of the purpose of the research
- no explanation of the duration of the subject's participation
- no description of the procedures to be followed
- no identification of the experimental procedures
- no description of foreseeable risks
Actually, I'm going to stop, because those are just the first 6 items on the checklist, and it's way longer. But I want to talk about the risks. For the moment, let's go ahead and assume the word lists do correlate to emotional states. I've got a foreseeable risk: showing a depressed person a sadder feed, potentially tipping them into a worse state.
There are waivers for informed consent, which an institutional review board may decide on, if appropriate (this is particularly important for emergency medicine; you don't want your patients to bleed out while you're telling them the risks to the new procedure that may save their lives). Here's the hitch: the Cornell IRB says the study didn't go by them. Another author is from UCSF, so maybe their review board was involved.
What's weird is that this isn't the first time Facebook tinkered with user data in the name of research. A "go vote" message may have influenced 340,000 people to go do so. This study, taken with Facebook's total lack of understanding of privacy, suggests they're going to keep at it — maybe not in the major scientific journals anymore if there's too much press blowback. But Facebook's job is to sell ads more effectively. Do you imagine your data won't be used in that endeavor?
Which is why, if this bothers you, you should really quit Facebook. I know, everyone's on it. But I promise that the people who actually care about you will go out of their way to stay in touch. The others? Well, whatever, I guess you'll deprive them of some gossip. Oh, your potential dates won't be able to check up on you first? Harsh life, where they'll just have to Google like plebs. Everyone has photos on Facebook? Well, not everyone (I don't!), but also: if you quit, you give Facebook users an incentive to post their photos elsewhere, becoming less dependent on Facebook for dissemination.
And a bit of personal advice from my non-Facebook experience: people are more likely to tell you the really important things offline, face-to-face. If you really are interested in catching up with your friends, catch up with your friends. You don't need Facebook to do it. Because it's not like they're going to stop altering their algorithms to make you more engaged with the site any time soon; their business model depends on it. If you think Facebook isn't threatened by you, a lone user, quitting their service, well — look at how hard they make it to quit.

While many of music's biggest stars remembered Whitney Houston at the decidedly somber Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Saturday night, Bobby Brown was onstage with New Edition in Mississippi, tearfully dedicating his show to his ex-wife. TMZ reported that Brown was "in and out of crying fits" after hearing the news of Houston's death before the show, but he still went on with his performance. "First of all, I want to tell you that I love you all," he told fans, according to The Associated Press. "Second, I would like to say, 'I love you, Whitney.' The hardest thing for me to do is to come on this stage."
Back in Beverly Hills, as fans held a vigil for Houston outside the hotel, Davis asked his guests for a moment of silence. "I do have a heavy heart, and I am personally devastated by someone so close to me for so many years," he said. "My heart goes out to her daughter Bobbi Kristina and her mother, Cissy." Everyone from Tony Bennett to Diddy to Alicia Keys shared their memories of Houston at the party, MTV News reports.
Grammy Awards producer Ken Erlich told reporters that tonight's event will now include a tribute to Houston sung by Jennifer Hudson. He said the ceremony will "recognize Whitney's remarkable contribution to music fans in general, and in particular her close ties with the Grammy telecast and her Grammy wins and nominations over the years."

So I know that Nelson Troy was pretty damn good at taking huge toys up his ass but I wanted to see what would happen if we got him to top. Well, turns out it made for some pretty fucking hot porn. He's paired up with the ridiculously tight, compact and adorable Cody Springs. The two begin lip locked, groping each other as they make out. If I wasn't there watching with a video camera one might even call it romantic. Cody's the first to go for some cock. He unzips Nelson's jeans and does all he can to show Nelson what a good cock sucker he is and Nelson looks like he has no complaints. Not to be outdone, Nelson gets on his knees to show Cody that he can suck a mean dick with the best of them. Nelson, rock hard and ready for some ass, gets Cody to sit down on his cock and gets him to bounce up and down on it. Then he bends Cody over and plows that hot little ass doggie style. The guys finish up with Cody getting fucked on his back. Unable to take anymore of Nelson's fat cock, Cody shoots

"To destroy is always the first step in any creation," wrote e.e. cummings. For Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, destruction and creation are a way of life.
"A good artist is willing to die many times over," Corgan says during our recent phone interview. "What's funny is, I've died so many times."
Each "death," however, has ignited a rebirth. From 1988 to 2000, Corgan manned one of alternative rock's reigning bands — one that endured years-long obstacles like emotional dysfunction, personal conflict, drug addiction and even actual death.
1 S. Compton Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63103
Category: Sports and Recreation
Region: St. Louis - Midtown
Still, a laundry list of obstacles couldn't keep Corgan from pursuing the band he still adores, as we've witnessed in the six years since he's regrouped the Smashing Pumpkins with a new lineup. Only Corgan himself can describe his personal ups and downs through it all — the destruction and resulting creation.
"I've had the rise and the fall, and these years since then have been a clusterfuck."
Corgan is now the group's only remaining original member. Though it seems, these days, Corgan is growing used to that isolation.
The lead Pumpkin was home alone on a Saturday afternoon when he talked to us from his home in the wealthy Chicago suburb of Highland Park. He was wordy and well spoken; most notably, however, he was open — there was no topic we couldn't broach. The conversation's only pauses were brief moments when he tossed toys to his cats.
"Sometimes," Corgan says, "I'll interview with a journalist who's obviously just not a fan, and they just look at me, like, 'Wow, you're still fucking here!' No one's quite sure what we are anymore, or why we're still here — but we are — and we're still headlining festivals and kicking ass."
Nowadays, the "we" Corgan refers to is his new band: guitarist Jeff Schroeder, bassist Nicole Fiorentino and drummer Mike Byrne. This year, the group released Oceania, the follow-up album to 2007's Zeitgeist.
Oceania is, according to Corgan, an album of "isolation and love," two ruling themes of his life.
And while the album has been much better received than 2007's Zeitgeist, it still lacks the luster of what Corgan describes as those "Siamese Dream-sounding songs," which, he says, he isn't interested in rewriting.
"Those songs came from an organic feeling, from the drugs I was doing in that moment, whatever. But once that's done, it's gone. It's like trying to recreate a fuck," he says. "It's still pretty good, but it's not going to be as good."
He likens himself to befuddling '70s comic Andy Kaufman. "I remember being a kid in the '70s and watching Kaufman do that conga routine on Saturday Night Live. But I'd be bummed out because I wanted him to do Mighty Mouse! So I know that feeling. Like, everyone asks me, 'Can't you go back to being the screaming, angry guy?'"
But Corgan's simply not interested. Siamese Dream was released nearly two decades ago; it seems impractical to expect a songwriter such as him to remain stagnant in his craft. Still, those hypercritical comparisons trudge on —but Corgan hasn't let the criticism affect his self-perception over time.
"When you're riding the wave of a cultural Zeitgeist and you're on MTV every five seconds," he says, referring to '90s-era power-Pumpkins, "it's a lot easier to get your dick hard about stuff. People try to put me in this box of, 'You were powerful, but now you're not.' As far as I'm concerned, I've been powerful all along."
And although Corgan is often lauded as one of rock's savviest businessmen, his personal definition of power has nothing to do with money, record sales or public perception.
"Any spiritual life practice — guru, Jesus, Buddha, whoever — tells you that true power has nothing to do with material power. It has everything to do with passion and consistency — those are the hallmarks I've set my eyes on in my life."
"Consistency" might not come to mind when looking at the big picture: the band's messy breakup, hit-and-miss reunion and subsequent lineup shuffle. But Corgan has endured it all, the ups and downs and destroyed relationships, for one sole purpose — to continue living his life with passion, in the best way he knows: through music.
"To re-embrace what I once loved about my work has been a warming process for me," he says of Oceania. "Because it's a good, earned feeling now. The difference with Oceania is, I've found harmony again — and when [band members] actually like each other, it translates to the music."
The praising of his current bandmates is quite the contrast to the roller coaster of bitter emotion Corgan expresses when our conversation shifts to the people they have replaced in the Pumpkins.
"My relations with the old band are so piss-poor," he says. "But the issues of a band are so complex — they're politically, socially and financially involved. Like, what am I supposed to say when Jimmy leaves the band and immediately writes a blog saying he won't play for money again? You're talking about the drummer who OD'ed three times, you know?"

The new Tricare Senior Pharmacy Program officially begins operation on April 1 for an estimated 1.4 million potentially eligible uniformed Services beneficiaries age 65 years and older. The Tricare Senior Pharmacy Program is a comprehensive drug benefit not provided under traditional Medicare.
"This new pharmacy benefit will greatly assist our beneficiaries by standardizing copayments and lowering the cost of generic medications. Our senior beneficiaries will benefit from this program by having access to medications with lower out-of-pocket expenses," said Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Dr. J. Jarrett Clinton.
By law, to use the Tricare retail and mail order benefit, beneficiaries age 65 and over must be eligible for Medicare Part A and enrolled in Part B. (Exception: Those who turned 65 before April 1, 2001, are eligible for the benefit, even if they are not enrolled in Medicare Part B.) For more information on enrollment requirements for Medicare Part B, the toll-free number for Medicare is (800) MEDICARE or (800) 633-4227.
Beneficiaries also must be registered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). Beneficiaries who are unsure about their DEERS enrollment status or eligibility for this program may contact the toll-free Defense Manpower Data Center Support Office Beneficiary Line at (800) 538-9552 for assistance. The call center is open weekdays (Monday through Friday) from 6 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
At the same time, DoD is also simplifying the prescription copayments for all DoD beneficiaries, reducing the different copayment possibilities from about 30 to three.
The new Tricare pharmacy benefit offers a straightforward co-payment structure and the following four dispensing options listed in order of cost/value to the beneficiary:
Military Treatment Facility Pharmacy. Military treatment facility (MTF) pharmacies will continue to fill prescriptions written by either military or civilian prescribers for medications listed on the MTF's formulary. There is no co-payment or out-of-pocket expense for prescriptions filled at the MTF.
National Mail Order Pharmacy (NMOP). Prescriptions filled through the NMOP will be $3 for up to a 90-day supply of most generic medications, or $9 for up to a 90-day supply of most non-generic medications.
Retail Network Pharmacy. Prescriptions filled at a retail network pharmacy will be $3 for a 30-day supply of most generic medications or $9 for a 30-day supply of most non-generic medications.
Retail Non-network Pharmacy. At non-network pharmacies, beneficiaries will pay either $9 or 20 percent of the total cost (whichever is greater), for a 30-day supply of a medication after they have met the Tricare annual deductible ($150 per individual or $300 per family). Both deductibles and co-payments are applied toward the beneficiary's Tricare catastrophic cap.
To use the retail pharmacy benefit beneficiaries should show the pharmacy a current Uniformed Services Identification (ID) card. To update an outdated ID card beneficiaries may call toll-free (877) DOD-MEDS or (877) 363-6337 to locate the closest military ID card issuing activity. The call center is open weekdays (Monday through Friday) from 7 a.m.-11 p.m. Eastern Time.
In February and March, Tricare's regional contractors sent a mailing to Medicare-eligible military beneficiaries worldwide. The mailing included a Tricare Senior Pharmacy Program brochure, local pharmacy directories, NMOP brochures and NMOP registration forms. For more information on the Tricare Senior Pharmacy Program, see the Military Health System/Tricare Web site at http://www.tricare.osd.mil/pharmacy/ .

Primary Care and Public Health
The Department of Primary Care & Public Health at Imperial College London forms part of the School of Public Health in the Faculty of Medicine. We are located in one of the most socio-economically and ethnically diverse areas of the UK and this is reflected in our key objectives.
Core Mission
Our core mission is to achieve better health through strengthening the primary care science base; training the next generation of NHS general practitioners, primary care professionals and public health specialists to become health leaders; and influencing health policies and programmes around the world.
Research Focus
We aim to improve the health of the population, patients' experience of their primary healthcare and health outcomes for patients, and reduce health inequalities. To achieve these objectives, our research is focused on areas such as:
• disease prevention and early diagnosis
• optimising the management of conditions such as diabetes and heart disease
• encouraging self-care
• developing innovations and improvements in the delivery of primary care
We have established ourselves as a leading academic primary care department; combining local, national and international research with teaching and training programmes.
International Expertise and Quantitative Research
We have internationally-recognised expertise and capacity in quantitative research methods including:
• the use of well-designed observational cohort studies
• statistical analysis of large healthcare-derived databases
• systematic reviews and evidence synthesis
• health systems and health policy analysis
New Technology
We have an expanding programme of work in the use of new technology to improve healthcare, such as the use of smartphone 'apps' to encourage self-care and to promote health. We collaborate extensively on this work with NHS partners in the UK, industry, and overseas governments and universities.
Education & Training
We offer extensive postgraduate research training, including overseeing the Imperial College Master of Public Health (MPH) Programme. We also direct the Imperial GP Specialty Training Scheme and offer academic placements to doctors who are undertaking specialty training in general practice and public health. We also have a very large undergraduate teaching programme in primary care for medical students on the Imperial College MB BS Programme.
World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre
The department hosts a World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Public Health Education & Training, which has an active international public health and primary care research and development programme and strong links with WHO and its regional offices. These links with WHO enable us to collaborate with leading clinician, policy-makers and researchers from across the world in our academic work, and also provide a vehicle for the translation of research into practice outside of the UK. This allows people living in countries with less well-developed health systems to benefit from our work in the UK.
Athena Swan Silver Award
School of Public Health renews its Silver Athena SWAN award. More information can be found on the Imperial College News Site.
AwardDurham Award Ceremony
Elio Riboli, Dame Julia Higgins, Ruth Peters, Ionna Tzoulaki and Sonia Saxena (from left to right) attended the Athena Swan national meeting on 9 July 2014 to receive our Silver Award for 2013-2016.

Learn Ideas Fast
How To Learn New Ideas Fast: New ideas and new concepts are much easier to learn when we are open to new thoughts. Many people get stuck in a certain way of doing things and they refuse to look at new ideas or changing to hopefully make things better. The nice thing about life at the college level is that everyone seems open to new ideas and ways of doing things differently. I have found if you keep an open mind, listen to the new idea or concept carefully ask a lot of questions and them marinate in these new thoughts until something springs forth or you realize this is not going to work and you just dump it in the trash can of life.

Jakartans who did not cast a ballot in Wednesday's first round of governor election voting and those who opted for candidates who have been eliminated will be the main focus of campaigning efforts ahead of September's runoff poll, analysts say.
Unofficial survey data shows that about 35 percent of eligible voters stayed away from the polling booth on Wednesday, while 24 percent of voters cast a ballot for one of the four candidates eliminated from the race.
"During the first round political parties backed their candidates, but now the votes come down to just two options," said Siti Zuhro, a political analyst from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI).
Siti said several parties in the six-member national ruling coalition, which is led by the Democratic Party, would likely channel their support to incumbent Governor Fauzi Bowo.
Fauzi, supported by the Democrats, garnered just 34 percent of the vote on Wednesday despite earlier survey forecasts that he would finish on top.
With support from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) and the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), Solo Mayor Joko Widodo, known as Jokowi, garnered 42 percent of the vote.
No official results have been announced by the General Elections Commission (KPUD), so estimates of support come from exit polls conducted by survey firms.
The ruling national coalition includes the Democrats, the Golkar Party, the National Mandate Party (PAN), the National Awakening Party (PKB), the United Development Party (PPP) and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS).
Only Golkar and the PAN had candidates in the election: Alex Noerdin and Hidayat Nur Wahid, respectively. But Hidayat is a member of the PKS, which has had recent differences with the Democrats.
Siti predicted that Hidayat's 12 percent of votes would likely be split between Fauzi and Joko.
Golkar leadership board chairman Hadjriyanto Thohari said his party was not interested in forming a partnership with either Fauzi or Joko in the runoff vote.
"Let Golkar cadres choose who they want," he said, signaling that Alex's 4.8 percent of the vote would not move as a bloc.
Siti said the two remaining candidates faced a battle to attract the 7 percent of voters who chose either of the independents, Faisal Basri and Hendardji Soepandji.
"These are the wild cards, because they are rational voters who want change. They could end up as non-voters," she said. "But it all depends on Jokowi. If Jokowi can keep up [his campaign strategy] … then the likelihood that pro-change voters will side with Jokowi is high."
Wednesday's result came as a blow for the Democrats, given their candidate finished second. "The outcome came as a surprise for us, we weren't expecting a runoff vote," Democratic Party advisory council member Melani Leimena said.
Analysts and activists earlier predicted that the incumbent governor would have the upper hand, given his authority to direct city funds toward advertising to boast of achievements during his five-year term in office.
Jakarta elections have long been a crucial testing ground for political parties ahead of national ballots. Legislative and presidential elections are both scheduled for 2014.

For Immediate Release: 4/8/2014
|Leggett Calls for Legislation to Address Issue of Equal Pay for Equal Work
County Executive Isiah Leggett today joined President Obama's call for equal pay for equal work through "National Equal Pay Day" and will immediately have legislation drafted to require that all County contractors file data with the County government showing how they compensate employees, including by gender and race. The proposed legislation would also prohibit companies from retaliating against workers who discuss their salaries with one another.
"Today is Equal Pay Day," said Leggett. "Women deserve the same pay as their male colleagues in the workplace. The pay gap has not budged in a decade, according to a report by the American Association of University Women (AAUW). Today, full-time working women still earn only 77 percent of what men are paid. I will do whatever I can to budge that number in Montgomery County."
Requiring disclosure of information on how County contractors compensate their employees, and ensuring that workers who work for County contractors may discuss their salaries with each other, Leggett aims to address the "pay secrecy" that often keeps workers from seeking more equitable compensation.
According to the AAUW report, the gender pay gap affects all women, but the pay shortfall is worse for black and Hispanic women. Asian American women's salaries show the smallest gender pay gap, at 87 percent of white men's earnings; Hispanic women's salaries show the largest gap, at 53 percent of white men's earnings.
"Equal Pay affects more than just women," said Leggett. "It affects each Montgomery County family that depends on a woman's paycheck. Equal pay for equal work is fair. It is equitable, and anyone who does business with our County should strive for pay equity."

Fracking regulation bill resubmitted to Legislature by Rep. Rodrigues
ESTERO - Fracking isn't happening in Florida yet, but one Southwest Florida lawmaker has once again filed legislation aimed at making sure disclosure requirements are in place.
Rep. Ray Rodrigues, R-Estero, filed legislation requiring the state to put disclosure requirements in place before hydraulic fracturing, a type of oil and gas drilling commonly known as fracking, begins.
This is the second time Rodrigues has backed the measure. He sponsored similar legislation during the 2013 legislative session.
That bill — House Bill 743, or the Fracturing Chemical Usage Disclosure Act — passed the state House 92-19, but failed to progress in the Senate. A companion bill — House Bill 745, which allowed oil and gas industry trade secrets to be exempt from the state's public records law — never received a vote.
Rodrigues said he's confident the 2014 legislation — House Bill 71, also called the Fracturing Chemical Usage Disclosure Act — will get the support it needs.
"I think we're going to be successful," he said. "It's good public policy."
According to the FracTracker Alliance, a nonprofit website that tracks fracking activity, there is no fracking done in Florida. There are, however, two regions in the state — Southwest Florida near the Sunniland oil wells in eastern Collier County and in the Panhandle near existing oil wells — where fracking can occur.
Fracking involves injecting water, sand and chemicals underground to create fractures in rock formations, which allows the release of natural gas and oil. The process has spread in recent years, with supporters saying that, at least in part, the process is opening up vast supplies of natural gas.
Rodrigues said the 2014 legislation — filed in the House on Sept. 24 — is the "exact same bill" he filed during the 2013 legislative session.
The measure directs the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to "establish and maintain" an online registry for all of the wells in the state where fracking treatments are performed.
The department, according to the first draft of the legislation, may designate FracFocus.org, an existing online chemical disclosure registry, as the public online registry instead of the DEP website. FracFocus is managed by the Ground Water Protection Council, a nonprofit organization of ground water regulatory agencies, and the Interstate Oil and Gas Commission, a multi-state government agency.
While no Senate companion had been filed as of Wednesday, Rodrigues said Sen. Wilton Simpson, R-Trilby, plans to sponsor the Senate bill. Last year, Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, sponsored the Senate version of the bill.
Rodrigues' most recent attempt at legislation comes just days after the state Department of Environmental Protection approved plans to drill exploratory oil wells in Golden Gate Estates.
Those opposed to the Golden Gate Estates wells said they are concerned about the chemicals used in the process. The horizontal drilling technology drills miles into the earth and can potentially release hydrogen sulfide in the process.
Ellen Hemrick, a member of Preserve Our Paradise Inc., a nonprofit group opposing the Estates drilling, said she is leery of the proposed legislation and would prefer if state lawmakers focused on banning fracking.
"I would love them to ban it outright," she said. "Fracking is dangerous."
Hemrick said there are loopholes in the proposed legislation that would make some of the chemicals exempt from disclosure because they are considered trade secrets.
A companion bill outlining the public records exemption to Rodrigues' bill hasn't yet been filed. But Rodrigues said he intends to once again seek a records exemption for trade secrets.

A Life of St. Bertramfrom the parish web site
Bertram was a King of Mercia around the 8th century. (His life was
written in the 1516 edition of the Nova Legenda Angliae.) Thinking he
might have a religious calling, he traveled to Ireland where such saints
as Patrick and Columba had lived. In Ireland he fell in love and eloped
with a beautiful princess. He brought her back to Mercia traveling while
she was pregnant. They lived a nomadic life, and it is thought that the
baby was born in the shelter of the forest near Stafford. Tragedy
occurred while Bertram was away hunting for food. Wolves came and killed
his wife and child.
Overcome with grief, he renounced royal heritage and turned again to God. He sought a life of prayer, and it is said that many pagans were converted to Christianity by the example of his life.
Bertram approached the court of Mercia but did not reveal his royal lineage. He asked for a grant of land for the building of a hermitage. This land was granted near modern day Stafford. Historians record the name of the hermitage as Bethnei.
A New King took throne. Not being a religious man, he demanded back the land on which the hermitage stood. It was decided that the matter should be settled by man to man combat. Bertram prayed for someone to come forward to fight for the hermitage. A man who was a dwarf came forward and Bertram remembering the David and Goliath accepted his offer. The dwarf was agile and quick and the hermitage kept its land.
Bertram is also linked to the village of Bartomley near Audley in present day Cheshire. It is said that Bertram, having dedicated his life to Christ, was sought out by the devil who tempted him to turn stones into bread. Bertram prayed rather that the bread would be turned to stones. In 1516 it was said that those stones were still in the church at Bartomely.
Bertram was known in the area as a wise and holy man. Many sought him out for spiritual advice. As seen throughout the history, holy men and women beset by people constantly and needing to refresh their souls seek solitude in quiet unpopulated places. Bertram found a cave near the present day sight of Ilam in Derbyshire. He lived there until his death.

Video:How to Perform a Stone Cold Stunnerwith Giovanni Roselli
The Stone Cold Stunner is powerful pro wrestling move popularized by legen Stone Cold Steve Austin. Learn how to perform this dangerous move in this how-to video from About.com.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Perform a Stone Cold Stunner
What's up everybody, my name is Giovanni Roselli, better known to the wrestling community as 'Romeo' Roselli, and I'm here at RingSport Gym in Palmer, Massachusetts for About.com. And right now, I'm gonna take you through how to perform the Stone Cold Stunner.
How to Perform a Stone Cold Stunner
To put my opponent in a Stone Cold Stunner, I will kick him in the stomach, just enough to bend him over as I turn away from my opponent, so my back is completely facing my opponent. From there, I will take both my arms, and reach around to grab the back of his head.
From there, I will drop down every so slightly, just to stand up to explode once again through my legs and hips as I drop my opponent's head across my shoulder as I drop down to my butt. From there, your opponent will drop to his knees and will usually result in a pinning situation. Stone Cold Steve Austin: a legend in the business.
The Stone Cold Stunner is a very dangerous maneuver. If you're thinking about performing that move, please make sure to visit a reputable professional wrestling school.

You are right if this is only Michael decision. But, if this is team decision this mean they just test things? With Michael. In Germany Nico jump Michael with team approval. Because they pit Michael early he lost chance to jump Kubica, because going in the pit early wasn't right decision there. After Kubica came infront of him, he lost time behind him. Then they plan Nico to jump them both, but he couldn't and he landed before Michael only. For 10 laps he just managed to do around 1 sec to Michael, in this 10 laps they both got stuck behind other cars or doing fast laps. In the same 10 laps Button take 4 sec to the Lewis. In Hungary other cars managed to keep their tyres, Michael or his car can't do that. Maybe was from the heat(EBD) to the back tyres or just because he/car eat tyres. I hope in Spa they will come with sorted car, and we will see some strange strategy again. In Germany plan was not to pit early(according to Michael), maybe because he pass Nico at the start they changed the plan, but again Michael was at the losing end. Maybe they used Michael like bait for Kubica? To make him pit early.
None of this really has any inpact on setting a car up specifically for the race ignoring qualifying at a track where you rarely loose a position after the start unless it is in the pits. Certainly not a strategy designed for success.
As far as MS and tire management...this has really never the strongest part of his game...even before the tires he is using this year. Maybe they are writing off this season for him. For his sake it would be better if that were true.

How does KBB pull data to have their site? How hard would it be for somebody else to do the same thing? What kind of coding would be used, etc? Where does KBB and other similar sites pull their data, and then magically come up with a value?
Posted 15 December 2011 - 11:25 AM
I'm not sure that is all that difficult. Even for a website like mine you will get the site 'in short' with a search for SMM Internet Marketing Consultants. It's all a question of focus.
