About the Articles and Columns
Econlib publishes three new economics articles and columns each month. These essays are written exclusively for Econlib by renowned professors, researchers, and journalists. All articles and columns are retained permanently online. Many are available for timely comments and discussion in our blog, EconLog.
The Articles. The monthly Featured Article is written by a selected author and is reviewed by our editorial staff. Articles cover a range of issues illustrating economics ideas in practice. The level ranges from introductory to post-college, with each article always covering some basic economic concept and an illustration of how it applies to daily life. The Features Editor, David R. Henderson, heads up this area of the site.
The Columns. Econlib carries two monthly columns, Reflections from Europe, by Anthony de Jasay, and An Economist Looks at Europe, by Pedro Schwartz, focusing on economic issues of topical concern to Europe.
A former column, Reflections from Latin America, by Ibsen Martinez, focused on economic issues of topical concern to Latin America.
About EconLog
The Library of Economics and Liberty features the popular daily blog, EconLog. Bloggers Bryan Caplan, David Henderson, and guest bloggers--write on topical economics of interest to them, illuminating subjects from politics and finance, to recent films and cultural observations, to history and literature.
EconLog aims to educate, entice, and excite readers into thinking about economics in daily analyses. It typically appeals to an international mix of college-educated students, teachers, news media commentators, and bloggers; self-educated or post-graduate thinkers; and those interested in understanding the ever-emerging current economic situation. Readers are invited to comment.
EconLog is one of the Wall Street Journal's Top 25 Economics Blogs.
EconLog took wing in January 2003, initially inspired by Arnold Kling's earlier educational economics blog (Great Questions of Economics [GQE]). Bryan Caplan joined in January 2005, and David Henderson in October 2008. Guest bloggers, including Garett Jones, Art Carden, Alberto Mingardi, Bart Wilson, James Schneider, and Scott Sumner, have contributed to EconLog since the autumn of 2012.

The first of four steel pieces that will soon become the keyhole towers for Cedar Point's new wing roller coaster, GateKeeper, arrived at Wednesday afternoon.
Measuring nearly 75 feet, it started its journey at about 8 a.m. that day at Clermont Steel Fabricators in Batavia and required a special permit to travel, arriving in Sandusky about 3 p.m.
Each of the four pieces weighs about 65,000 pounds and will be assembled to create two towers that stand 100 feet high when placed on their foundations at Cedar Point's new main gate.
GateKeeper will narrowly slot through the openings in these towers, adding to the suspense of a ride that already boasts the longest track, longest drop and most inversions of any wing coaster on the planet.
The remaining pieces are expected to arrive later this week and early next week to be assembled. The ride structure is about 50 percent complete and on track to be ready for Cedar Point's opening day, May 11.

Coast couple frustrated as tsunami debris piles up
NEAR WARRENTON, Ore. - Mark and Kathy Mead realize they're the envy of many; they live in the Surf Pines area of Warrenton.
With a beach home, they have plenty of chances to collect treasures that wash ashore.
"Those are just what you'll find every day," says Mark, as he picks up sand dollars and shells on his porch.
But the beach-combing the last several months hasn't exactly floated their boat.
"On normal day, you'll find a small amount of garbage that washes down from the mouth of the Columbia, but nothing like this amount," he explains, as he dumps out multiple garbage bags of debris he's collected the last couple of days.
Since the end of February, the Meads say they've watched the amount of junk arriving on the beach quadruple.
From instant soup wrappers to light bulbs, even eye drop bottles, mostly with Japanese or Chinese character labeling, they believe this stuff has made its way across the Pacific from Japan's tsunami last year.
The Meads filled a garbage bag with debris within 50 feet, then carried larger chunks of Styrofoam that wouldn't fit in the bag.
There's certainly been ample attention given to the dock that came aground last week in Newport, but the Meads believe these smaller items matter too.
Among their worries? The wildlife.
"I've seen (the birds) eating the Styrofoam, pecking at it. We have some feathers normally, but not like this. There are a lot of dead bodies, so there is a concern," Kathy observes.
Mark is frustrated, because he started contacting lawmakers about the debris when it first began showing up months ago.
"If you talk to the state, they tell you it's not our problem. If you talk to the feds, they don't answer you. State Senator Betsy Johnson is the only one who even bothered to call me back and she says she can't get any answers in meetings," Mead said.
He said waiting for SOLV, a massive volunteer effort that cleans up Oregon beaches, won't work. Every tide brings in a new batch of the debris.
So, the Meads wait for a better solution, hoping the beach they consider their backyard can be treasured instead of trashed.
"Tomorrow it's starts all over again," sighs Kathy.
KATU News talked with State Senator Betsy Johnson and a spokesperson for Oregon U.S. Senator Ron Wyden Thursday afternoon.
By Thursday evening, both had called Mark Mead to talk about what can be done to address his concerns.
Senator Wyden tried to get in front of this matter, and as early as January this year, had convened a group of experts to discuss the arrival of tsunami debris and the development of a response plan.
His spokesperson and Oregon Senator Johnson both said NOAA researchers at that meeting estimated the arrival of debris in the winter of 2013.

While two teenagers were charged in the case, the defense had accused New York Police Detective Louis Scarcella of beating one of the suspects. Following the recent clearing of David Ranta of murder after serving a 23-year prison sentence, the Brooklyn, N.Y. District Attorney is reviewing 50 murder cases investigated by celebrated Detective Louis Scarcella. The review of cases will give special scrutiny to those cases which appear weakest.

Molson teams up with Crime Stoppers for the Holiday R.I.D.E spot check
For a few years Molson has had the privilege in partnering with Crime Stoppers for the launch of the Toronto Holiday R.I.D.E program. This is just one initiative in our Responsible Choices campaign, our way of celebrating everyone who chooses to make sure all their holiday memories are good ones.
As we headed down the street, I said to Carole and Will from Molson, "Maybe they are going to be late, it is almost 7:30!" As soon as I said 7:30, in a blink of an eye, the Police RIDE Team was set and ready to go.
We had a small glimpse of Toronto's finest in action during the spot check; it was something to see how they turn a stretch road into a mini command centre, with lights flashing, and bright pylons out to mark where vehicles need to pull over, the command centre situated in the middle and the R.I.D.E team in a manner of minutes out on the street to greet the first cars.
The Molson team was on hand to give out scrappers to a number of drivers who were making Responsible Choices this evening.
Toques off to Toronto Police Services and all other Emergency Services personal across Canada as they keep our roads safe not only for the Holidays but throughout the year.

Free download: 10 terabytes of patents and trademarks
When we launched Google Patent Search in 2006, we wanted to make it easier for people to understand the world of inventions, whether they were browsing for curious patents or researching serious engineering. Recently, we've also worked on a number of public data search features, as well as experimental features like the Public Data Explorer.
There are many places to search for individual patents -- the US Patent and Trademark Office and Google Patent Search are two examples. But sometimes that's not enough. If you're trying to identify trends in innovation over time or analyze all the patents relevant to your invention, it helps to have all the patent data on hand. For example, the non-profit Cambia's PatentLens creates topical analyses of patent information, and they can only do this with a comprehensive data set. Others have experimented with a variety of online mashups of the data, such as an interactive map showing the most innovative states.
The trouble is, that's a lot of information -- terabytes of it -- and in the past the only way to deliver that information was on DVDs and other physical media. The USPTO will ship them to you, and over the last decade Cambia alone has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this data. But with high-bandwidth connections on the rise, both the USPTO and Google think it's time to help people download the bulk data directly.
That's why we're proud to announce that the USPTO and Google are making this data available for free at http://www.google.com/googlebooks/uspto.html. This includes all granted patents and trademarks, and published applications -- with both full text and images. And in the future we will be making more data available including file histories and related data.
We look forward to continuing to work with the USPTO and other public organizations to expand access to public data. You can read the official press release from the USPTO here.

How long until Google launches fully functional searches of trademark records?ReplyDelete
10 Terabytes? Oh my god thats kinda crazy I love it though, thanks Google!ReplyDelete
I'm working on a trademark search site. It's still very much in Alpha state, but it has the trademark databases of the US, Canada, Germany, Austria, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. The UK and some other databases are coming soon.ReplyDelete
The site is trade.mar.cx. Clever domain, eh?
Crazy cool - thanks! Any plans for adding a feed for these files or some other way to auto-download when new ones become available?ReplyDelete
I actually work for the company who converts the patents into digital format for the PTOReplyDelete
No wonder the data is terabytes, even for inventing small things, people carve out tens of pages of text of obscure legal language. I wonder what the common man can use that for if its not understandable by him.ReplyDelete
Good move, but hardly of any use. Check http://patentabsurdity.com/
As a patent agent, searchable access and bulk downloads of patent file wrapper data would be very helpful.ReplyDelete
how do I see these files?ReplyDelete
the size after unpacking the text is so huge, I can't even see the XMLs. Of course, I am doing this from home. I guess this isn't aimed at Joes at home.

This is very good news. I have a couple of suggestions though...ReplyDelete
Split the huge download pages (at for example http://www.google.com/googlebooks/uspto-patents-grants.html) into one for each year. Loading that huge page maxes out the CPU for quite a while even on a reasonably modern machine.
Also, now you have the actual/"master" data, is there any chance of replacing all the broken patent images on the Google Patents site? As anyone who has used Google Patents to view patent images will know, some drawings/diagrams for many patents are broken. Presumably that was an unintended side-effect of Google's OCR process, but it's been like that for years now.

OGDENSBURG Ogdensburg Public Library has a proposed $649,413 budget for 2014, a spending plan supplemented by donations of books, magazines, DVDs and learning materials.
The good news is that people have been very generous, library Director Wayne L. Miller said. That shows that people value the library.
The tentative budget, which was approved recently by the librarys board of trustees, is $66,930 greater than this years $582,493 spending plan. The proposed budget is counting on a $532,712 allocation from the city, less than this years $604,735 contribution.
The increases include salaries that rose from $260,217 to $264,521, mostly because of a 2 percent hike in the childrens librarian pay. Also, the books line item increased from $22,702 to $35,000. Mr. Miller said the state Central Library Program will contribute $25,000 and the city will be asked to contribute $10,000.
It went up slightly, Mr. Miller said of the states contribution to book purchasing.
The $35,000 appropriation, he figured, will buy about 400 books.
Other budget highlights include $4,800 for four new computers at $1,200 apiece, $12,200 for a security system to tag each book with a microchip identification, $5,000 for insurance and $7,000 for a contingency account for departing library employees who have accumulated unused sick time compensation to draw on.
For a second consecutive year, the library will not be counting on $11,502 from St. Lawrence County.
The general expenses such as travel, office costs, building maintenance, utilities and materials/supplies are unchanged from this year.
Mr. Miller will discuss the budget next month with City Manager John M. Pinkerton and City Comptroller Philip A. Cosmo. The spending plan will require City Council approval.

James B. Mann, owner of JM Billiards, closed up shop about midnight Friday and did some cleaning before heading two doors down to Seths Pub for a couple of drinks and a game of pool.
He and his friend, an off-duty bouncer, were playing together against two opponents. He had just gotten off his first shot when pandemonium broke loose.
I looked for my friend ... He was already at the door dealing with the situation, Mr. Mann said.
About 1 a.m. Saturday, a shooting was reported at the corner of High and State streets, according to Watertown city police.
The apparent victim, a 29-year-old man, reportedly walked up to the pub complaining of a gunshot wound.
He was treated on the scene by an off-duty soldier, who helped to stop the bleeding, according to Mr. Mann. The victim was transported to Upstate Medical University in Syracuse after police and emergency personnel arrived.
The victims name has not been released, though police said his injuries were not life-threatening.
Police are investigating the incident.
Patrol officers and detectives are working on leads, Detective Sgt. Joseph R. Donaghue said late Saturday morning.
Mr. Mann said police questioned a few patrons early Saturday and took down everyone elses information.
There were about 25 people at the pub before the incident, some of whom ran out the back door when police arrived, according to Mr. Mann.
He said he finally left Seths Pub about 3 a.m.
Karen L. Coppola lives at 114 High St., behind Jreck Subs and just a few doors away from the State Street intersection.
She said she heard no gunshots, just sirens.
Thinking it was an accident, Ms. Coppola went outside.
It was a kind of eerie atmosphere, she said. There were no spectators or onlookers. The police were shooing everybody away. I heard something about a shooting and I said to my daughter, Come on, lets go back inside.
Ms. Coppola, who is originally from Saratoga, has lived in Watertown for 10 years and at her current address for a little less than a year.
She said she feels safe in her neighborhood.
Ive never felt unsafe here. Ive never had a problem telling my kids, Heres ten bucks, run over to Jrecks for some subs, she said.
But now, she may not let her children out at night if she can help it, though she acknowledged that bad things can happen at any time.
This kind of makes you think twice, she said.
Police are asking anyone who has information about the incident or was in the area at the time to call the Watertown Police Department at 782-2233.

28 U.S. Code § 1400 - Patents and copyrights, mask works, and designs
(a) Civil actions, suits, or proceedings arising under any Act of Congress relating to copyrights or exclusive rights in mask works or designs may be instituted in the district in which the defendant or his agent resides or may be found.
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 936; Pub. L. 100–702, title X, § 1020(a)(5),Nov. 19, 1988, 102 Stat. 4671; Pub. L. 105–304, title V, § 503(c)(1), (2),Oct. 28, 1998, 112 Stat. 2917; Pub. L. 106–44, § 2(a),Aug. 5, 1999, 113 Stat. 223.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 109, andsection 35 of title 17, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Copyrights (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 320, § 35,35 Stat. 1084; Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, § 48,36 Stat. 1100).
Section consolidates section 35 of title 17, U.S.C., 1940 ed., with part of section 109 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., with necessary changes in phraseology.
Words "civil action" were substituted for "suit," and words "in law or in equity," after "shall have jurisdiction" were deleted, in view of Rule 2 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Words in subsection (b) "where the defendant resides" were substituted for "of which the defendant is an inhabitant." A corresponding change was made in subsection (a). Words "inhabitant" and "resident," as respects venue, are synonymous. (See reviser's note under section 1391 of this title.)
Words "whether a person, partnership, or corporation" before "has committed" were omitted as surplusage.
The provisions of section 109 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., relating to process are incorporated in section 1694 of this title.
Jurisdiction and venue of patent suits against residents of foreign countries or persons residing in plurality of districts, see section 72a of title 35, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Patents.
Senate Revision Amendment
Title 17 of the United States Code was enacted into positive law by act July 30, 1947, ch. 391, 61 Stat. 652, and, in such enactment, section 35 of the prior title became section 111 of the new title, and all Acts from which sections of the prior title had been derived, were repealed. Therefore, this paragraph should read: "Based on Title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 109 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, § 48,36 Stat. 1100), and section 111 of Title 17, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Copyrights." By Senate amendment, section 111 of Title 17 U.S.C., is included in the schedule of repeals. See 80th Congress Senate Report No. 1559.
1999—Pub. L. 106–44amended section catchline generally so as to read "Patents and copyrights, mask works, and designs".
1998—Pub. L. 105–304, § 503(c)(2), amended section catchline generally, substituting "Patents and copyrights, mask works, and designs" for "Patents and copyrights".
Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 105–304, § 503(c)(1), inserted "or designs" after "mask works".
1988—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 100–702inserted "or exclusive rights in mask works" after "copyrights".

Product Details
Ceramix Front Brake Pads by Chrome Brakes®. This is a set of replacement front brake pads designed for aggressive street driving. A unique composite blend of ceramic and metallic pad materials results in the lower dust and longer life of a ceramic brake pad, while providing the superior biting grip of metallic pads.
- Composite blend of ceramic and metallic material matches the low dust and long life of a ceramic brake pad while providing the superior biting grip equivalent to metallic compound pads
- Set of front disc brake pads
- Provides superior level of frictional grip in cold or hot temperatures
- Lower operating temperatures greatly reduce fade that results from brake fluid reaching boiling temperature in the lines
- Backing plate and side edges of brake pad have a corrosion-resistant finish
- 1 year / 36,000 mile manufacturer limited warranty
For vehicles that see aggressive performance driving on the street, Chrome Brakes provides a cost-effective way to upgrade your stopping power without modifying or changing any other brake system components. Compared to fully-metallic OEM brake pads, Ceramix front replacement brake pads offer better braking power, longer pad life, and lower dust levels. Sized and fitted to match the exact tolerances of original equipment, these pads fit properly, wear evenly, and avoid rattling or squealing. A unique, blended metallic-ceramic compound causes less abrasive wear on rotors without compromising brake pad efficiency or longevity. The semi-ceramic material also ensures the pads resist squealing and heat buildup, and the metallic makeup delivers a progressive level of bite the harder they are used.
If you're installing Ceramix Front Brake Pads with any new Chrome Brakes performance rotors, you will find when the time comes to replace the pads again, the semi-ceramic pad blend will leave the rotors usable enough to last through another set of brake pads. We invite you to contact our knowledgeable specialists seven days a week for help with any questions you have at 800-505-3274. Chrome Brakes® proudly manufactures all brake pads in the United States, and backs them against failure due to manufacturing defects for 1 year or 36,000 miles.65.52Brand: Chrome Brakes Part Number: CX961
Located in Greenville, South Carolina, Chromebrakes® began with the goal of bringing the benefits of superior brake components at a reasonable cost to performance enthusiasts everywhere. Company engineers believed then, as they do today, that better brakes make driving more enjoyable and safer for any vehicle. As a result, they developed a philosophy that superior brake components cannot be superior without advanced materials that match the exact tolerances of each and every individual vehicle they are created for. Relentless development and testing led to brake pads, rotors, and other related components that deliver uncompromising fit and operation, and Chrome Brakes' customer base has expanded due to fierce loyalty. So when you want superior brake pads and rotors for high performance driving that exceed OEM specification without the excessive cost, Chrome Brakes® has the products you need - backed by the best warranty in the business.

SYRACUSE Most of the Syracuse University football players woke up excited on Saturday morning.
They were anxious for their home opener at the Carrier Dome against an inferior opponent and, in all likelihood, ready to capture their first win of the season after two difficult losses.
Then, there was Jarrod West.
The 6-foot-2 junior wide receiver woke up to news that his grandfather died.
I think Jarrod West had a little bit of extra oomph to him because his grandfather passed away this morning, first-year coach Scott Shafer said.
I was really happy to see him play well in a difficult situation, losing somebody that he loves so much.
West, who was SUs leading returning receiver entering the season, finished with a career-high 147 yards on five catches. It was his first career 100-yard game.
Waking up was pretty tough for me. My grandfather meant a lot to me since growing up, West said.
West capped off his day with a 65-yard touchdown catch, his first of the year, from Terrel Hunt midway through the third quarter. The score took on extra significance for the Bethlehem, Pa., native.
Before the game, I said a prayer in the end zone and I told him Id meet him in that end zone, West said. It was kind of cool to actually score in the end zone that I told him I would meet him in.
West registered a catch for the 17th straight game, which ties him for the 13th-longest streak in program history. The last time he was held without a reception was the 2011 season finale against Pittsburgh.
West is the programs active leader in career receptions (64) and receiving yards (799).
He caught five passes for 60 yards in the first two games of the season.
West was asked about the Oranges quarterback competition after the game.
I think we had a great game plan going into the game, West said. I figured that if we just ran the plays that coach called, when our number was called, we made a bunch of plays. Im just trying to get open every play. If I beat a defender, no matter who is at quarterback, I can try to make a great play.
Carthage native Patrick Gibbons, a defensive lineman for Wagner, recorded a solo tackle in the second quarter.
Gibbons, a 6-foot-1, 260-pound junior, has played in all three games for the Seahawks this season. His tackle on Saturday was his first of the year.
Gibbons started at fullback last year, helping to lead Wagner to its first Northeast Conference championship.
After graduating from Carthage in 2010, Gibbons played a year at Milford Academy before transferring to Wagner.
SU surpassed 50 points for the first time since 2002 against Virginia Tech. SU held Wagner to 87 yards on offense. It was the first time since a win over Rutgers in 1997 that it held an opponent to under 100 yards of total offense. The 54-point margin of victory is two shy of SUs all-time Carrier Dome best of 56, which has occurred on three different occasions, most recently in a win over Buffalo in 2000. Running back Jerome Smith found the end zone for the third straight game. He has five through three games after finishing last season with just three.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
As the economy continues to loom large over many local families impacting what they can and cannot afford, the Pinnacle Future Farmers of America wanted to do something to help out. With the thought of families sometimes struggling to get what they need for their families, the Pinnacle FFA worked closely with Price City and other entities to come up with a Share Fair event.
The event, held at the Price Elks Lodge, was coordinated in conjunction with Price City, the Price City Police Department and Fire Department along with many others to help gather items from the community including clothing for babies, young children and adults, diapers, toys and much more to donate to local families in need.
Tables filled with clothing lined the the room at the Elks Lodge which allowed people to go through to search around for what they needed. Earlier in the day before the event began, people in the community stopped by the Elks Lodge to drop off donated clothing and materials, according to Jason Butler, an advisor to the Pinnacle FFA.
Butler said the Pinnacle FFA members discussed at their regular meeting about three weeks what they could do to help out the community.
One of the suggestions in giving back was holding an event such as the Share Fair which helps with people donating unused or unneeded clothing and materials for families in the community who have a great need for them. After coming up with the idea, the group with worked with city entities, the Elks Lodge and others in getting the Share Fair event coordinated.
"That's the whole reason for holding this kind of event," Butler said of helping out families in the community. On the back of the FFA official handbook, one of the keys to a successful chapter is giving back to the community and helping give back in whatever way they can. The mission statement of the Future Farmers of America is "to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education."
Many members of the Pinnacle FFA attended the event helping bring in boxes of materials over the course of the day that were then displayed on the tables. Butler said the event saw many families come in soon after they opened the doors and continued to see a steady stream of people through the rest of the day. Butler estimated that about 300 people showed up during the six-hour event.
One of the keys to the event, Butler explained, was that the Pinnacle FFA did not benefit with getting money from those visiting the event. Butler said the group wanted to hold an event to bring together the community in helping each other out without the need for benefiting monetarily.
"All of the members of the Pinnacle FFA wanted to be a part of something like this which didn't require a lot of money to put on," Butler said. "The students displayed an ability to make a difference and had an opportunity to build up their leadership skills."
Not only was the event helping many families in the community, but it was also helping those who put on the event as well. Butler said he was pleased to see the skills members of the Pinnacle FFA developed in working with city entities and others during the course of planning and holding the event.
"We wanted to demonstrate how much of a difference these kids can make in the community," Butler said. "They really helped out a lot of families today."
With the success of their first Share Fair event, Butler said the Pinnacle FFA will explore the possibility of holding another event some time in the future.
"We'll definitely be looking to do this again some time," he said.

PAWTUCKET — A 62-year-old city man remains in critical condition after being injured in an early morning fire Thursday in his apartment at Burns Manor.
Pawtucket Police identified the victim as Richard Rak, who lived in apartment D 102 in the housing complex located at 95 Park St. Rak suffered second- and third-degree burns to his upper torso and is in the intensive care unit at Rhode Island Hospital's Trauma Center.
According to Fire Capt. Robert F.Thurber, Jr., the city's fire marshal, an alarm was received at 5:43 a.m. When firefighters arrived, they found the blaze in Rak's apartment fully involved. Firefighters forced entry into the apartment, where they discovered Rak and extricated him so that emergency personnel could treat him, Thurber said.
Rescue personnel first transported Rak to the Memorial Hospital emergency room and then brought him to the Trauma Center.
The fire was contained to Rak's apartment unit but caused some smoke damage in the corridor outside. There was heavy damage to Rak's room and its contents, Thurber added.
While firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze, all of the building's tenants were evacuated to the community room. They were allowed to return to their apartments at around 3 p.m., Thurber said.
As of Friday, the cause of the fire remained under investigation.
The 92-unit public housing complex for senior citizens is operated by the city through the Pawtucket Housing Authority.

|Congress Closes Federal Offices; Parkway
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 01 October 2013 06:25
The Federal Government made it official early this morning—the government is essentially closed. The impasse over the budget and the Affordable Care Act—which goes into effect today in spite of the shutdown—led to the action. And coming on the first day of October,
means that US Parks officials will begin closing down Blue Ridge Parkway facilities, beginning today. Chief Ranger for our area, Steve Stinnett said yesterday that they will give campers 48 hours notice, but that with the leaf season approaching, campgrounds were a sellout for this weekend. But now those campgrounds, lodges and visitors centers will be closed. His law enforcement officers will stay on the job, he said—but the action is much less severe than plans put forward earlier in the day yesterday, plans that would have closed and locked all the gates along the parkway.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
Why We Do What We Do
We believe that learning is enhanced by the sense of community which develops when students
live and study on campus. The University of Dallas is committed to establishing a
continuity between intellectual and residential life. Living on campus contributes to
the intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual growth of the individual student and
the community as a whole.
The University requires matriculated undergraduate students under the age of 21 or with fewer than ninety earned credits hours to live on campus. Students who fall under the residency requirement must actually reside on campus. Married students, veterans, and commuter students living with their parents at home are exempt from this policy. Only complete groups of qualifying upperclassmen will be considered for the student apartments during Housing Registration Week each spring for the following academic year.
The University of Dallas has seven undergraduate residence halls - six 'traditional-style' halls
for new students and one new hall for upperclassmen still under the residency requirement.
Five of the 'traditional' halls are two floors, with common hallways on each floor,
common bathroom and shower facilities on each floor, a lounge/TV area and a laundry
room with washers and dryers. One 'traditional' hall has one floor in a mixed-use
hall (offices on first floor), with a common hallway and one common bathroom and shower
facility. While each 'traditional' hall has kitchen facilities, The New Hall does
not. The 'traditional; halls vary in size from 31 to 96 residents. The halls are
directly supervised by Resident Assistants and Residence Coordinators.
All freshmen living on campus are placed in traditional hall standard double rooms with a freshman roommate. All traditional hall double rooms have standard twin-size beds, desks, and closet and drawer space for each resident. Traditional hall rooms have sinks with storage space underneath, a medicine cabinet, and limited book shelving. Housekeeping service is only provided for the common areas. Residents are responsible for the upkeep of their own rooms. Luggage may be stored by current residents in the common storage room during the academic year only. Summer storage is not available.

Can any one please teach me as how to use the whereis command to find files etc. Here is a page that I just came across, but can't really make much of it.
For example if there is a file on my desktop called myfile.txt, how do I search for it? Do I always need to go into the directory first with the cd command and then type the command or is it possible that the command itself will take of it and search through the entire computer automatically? Many thanks.....
whereis is not a generic file finder. As that link suggests, it finds binaries, source and man pages. eg 'whereis ls'.
find will do what you want. eg 'find /path/to/desktop -name myfile.txt'. If you don't know where your window manager keeps your desktop, doing it on your home directory will be a good bet.

The main goal of the proposed research is to develop a linguistic typology of expressive constructions, an area of linguistics that is currently understudied (Efremova 2006; Potts 2007; Schneider 2003; Wade 2000). Expressive constructions indicate the speaker's attitudes and emotions towards the content of speech (Potts 2003, 2007). For example, in (1), the Japanese expressive o-ninat indicates that the speaker views Sam positively; while in (2), the English expressive bastard indicates that the speaker views Sam negatively.
(1) Japanese: Sam-ga o-warai-ninat-ta.
Sam-NOM.SG HONOUR-laugh-HONOUR-PAST
'Sam laughed (honorific: the speaker views Sam with respect)'
(Potts & Kawahara 2004: 238)
(2) English: That bastard Sam was late for work yesterday.
(Potts 2007: 165)
What makes expressive constructions particularly interesting is the fact that their meaning ('function') is similar across languages, but their syntactic structure ('form') differs significantly from one language to the next. This suggests that there is no 1:1 correlation between form and function of expressive constructions, which has important implications for the syntax–semantic mapping of categorization. Modern approaches to categorization assume vague functional criteria to identify the category of expressive constructions, but these approaches lack precise formal criteria. My goal is to develop and refine such formal criteria. In the proposed research, I will identify and analyze all possible formal types of expressive constructions across languages.

Sunday, March 9, is the five year anniversary of the bear-market lows.
For many investors, this date is etched in our memories — along with the number 676, the closing price of the S&P 500 SPX, +0.13% that day that marked the lowest level for the benchmark since 1996.
We've come a long way. And on the fifth anniversary of this bull market, it's natural to ask how much more room left we have to run.
But to me, investors focused on the life remaining in this bull market are missing the point. It's much more important to worry about minimizing mistakes than it is to maximize returns while the wind is at your back.
Teen's suit against parents hits hurdle
New Jersey student's suit against parents for financial support loses ground, the emerging airline lounge wars, plus the best and worst of fall fashion week.
It's admittedly hard to hear that avoiding errors is more important than uncovering winners. After all, we remember Reggie Jackson as "Mr. October" for his clutch post-season performance and not his 2,597 strike outs — one every 3.8 at bats. In the U.S., errors are "teachable moments" in the classroom and entrepreneurs preach the virtues of failing as part of "iterating" in the workplace.
But investing isn't a world of intangibles and intellectual capital.
Investing is a world of monetary capital, brutal and absolute, and you literally cannot afford to be so dispassionate about failure.
So whether or not the bull market runs another six weeks or six years, here are some simple ways to make fewer mistakes — and consequently, make the most out of your investment strategy:
Cut out costs
Shift your focus from returns to costs. Because whether you're paying well-heeled hedge fund managers their "two and twenty" or whether you're paying higher fees on a simple large-cap mutual fund, you could be leaving serious money on the table long-term.
Here's some simple math to illustrate:
•$100,000 invested at a 5% annual rate of return for 25 years will result in a final nest egg just shy of $340,000
•$100,000 invested at a 6% return for 25 years will leave you with almost $430,000 — $90,000 more.
That's the power of compound interest. But while many investors focus on chasing bigger returns to squeeze out that extra 1%, high fees often gobble up that outperformance — and then some. Why not simply cut out costs along the way to hang on to more of your returns rather than enrich your broker or fund manager?
Besides, countless studies show expensive active managers rarely deliver their promised outperformance anyway.
According to Berkshire Hathaway BRK.A, +0.18% chief executive and investing icon Warren Buffett, investing is "very, very easy." His advice?
"Buy an index fund, preferably over time, so you end up owing good businesses at a reasonable average price," Buffett told USA Today last year. He adds that, "If you own a cross-section of American businesses, and you don't get excited (and buy) just at the very top, and if you buy in over time, you are going to do well."
Need further proof? Well, consider that the S&P 500 index has actually slightly outperformed Berkshire Hathaway stock over the last five years since the bear market lows.
At least Buffett is self-aware enough to understand he's swimming upstream.
Sure, there's the potential to make big money by getting overweight in a small number of stocks. But that also leaves you open to big bets in bad investments.
Just ask John Paulson about his big gold bet last year.

What They're Saying:
THN – "Playing on a weak team made Mark Scheifele an
interesting case study. The biggest
question scouts have is did he have such a good year because he's talented, or
because the Barrie Colts were bad and he got so much quality ice time? Drafted in the seventh round by Saginaw, Scheifele scored a hat trick in his third OHL
game, but playing on a 15-win team in Barrie
tested his mettle. Scouts project him to
fill a power forward role when he puts more muscle on his frame. 'He has really good hands and he's a good
playmaker,' a scout said. 'His numbers
as a 17-year-old are pretty amazing considering he played for a team that lost
49 games. I think he's a real smart
hockey player.' Scouts like his response
to a trying situation, but not everyone is sold. 'There's some risk with him, but there's a
lot of stuff going on that's positive,' another scout said. 'The risk-reward factor with him is high.'"
The Scouting Report – "Scheifele's first year in the OHL is one to remember as the
unheralded Kitchener,
Ont. Native burst onto the scene with the Barrie Colts. Scheifele is a big-time
talent with the ability to make his linemates better as a great playmaker and
player who can buy time in the offensive zone. Scheifele is good along the
boards and in traffic and did a good job of making things happen on a team that
lacked talent in a big way. He still needs to add some much needed bulk to his
frame, and could probably afford to shoot the puck more; as the U18's showed,
but he's a guy with a pretty high ceiling and is certainly a player to watch
Bruins 2011 Draft Watch – "6-3 guys don't typically move the
way he does with that ability to separate, so there is a lot of raw material to
work with. At about 175, he's nowhere near as strong as he needs to be.
However, he more than solidified a first-round draft grade in our view. He's a
poor man's Ryan Johansen at this stage we feel- won't go as high, but
his progress and potentially high ceiling will see him picked ahead of other
higher-profile players who are bigger names and have been in draft discussions
longer. Classic guy who came into the U18s with some questions to answer and
passed with flying colors. Happens every year."
Corey Pronman - "Mark Scheifele had a good year from a counting statistics
standpoint on a poor Barrie
team and with a good Under-18 tournament—his stock has come a ways in the
course of a season. Scheifele is a low-ceiling but highly projectable player
without a true standout tool. His skating grades as below-average, and while
his mechanics are fine, his feet are just somewhat heavy and he doesn't have an
NHL-level top speed. Scheifele's puck skills are decent, and while he doesn't
bring any form of flashy stick handling or stretch passes to the table, he can
handle the puck at a moderate level and make the right distributions bringing
the puck up the ice and on the power play. He also shows good puck protection
skills along the side boards. Scheifele projects as a solid-average to
above-average physical player as while he has room to fill out, and he's
already notably strong and works well along the walls. His hockey sense is
above-average and it's what will drive his value towards the highest level, as
he anticipates the flow of the game well, rarely turns the puck over, and plays
well in his own zone."
The Hockey Writers – "A premium is set on big offensive
centers, and Scheifele holds that in spades. An otherwise bright spot on an
awful Barrie
season. Scheifele possesses that
which most scouts look for in a center– size, skating, vision, hands and hockey
intelligence. Seen as somewhat of a
'safe' pick by scouts, as he has all the tools needed to be an NHL'er, it's
just unknown in what capacity that may be. His playmaking and vision are his
bread and butter, and he uses them in Joe Thornton-like fashion,
always looking for the open man. In a time where teams are so heavily looking for center depth,
especially those playmaking pivots, Scheifele has seen his stock rise and could
be a surprise pick to move into 15th or so. With added strength to his frame, he could be all that much better, and
a real gem for the team that brings him into the player development fold."
NHL.com – " 'He has to play against everybody's best players
every night,' the scout told NHL.com, 'where you might have a player on a real
good team that doesn't have to play against the top defensive pair or maybe
they're playing against the third line every night. There's a big difference.
You have to take that into consideration.' Hawerchuk said there have been some growing pains, but believes anything
Scheifele goes through this season only will help him going forward. 'He's going to be so much further ahead this
time next year for having to play against top lines and 19- and 20-year-olds
night in and night out,' Hawerchuk said. 'Mark protects the puck very well and will take it to the net while
fighting through checks,' Central Scouting's Chris Edwards told NHL.com. 'He's
got a great work ethic. His Barrie Colts have struggled this season and he has
been relied upon to provide offense. He sees the ice very well and his
playmaking ability is very good. He gets back quickly and works hard
THN.com – "Since arriving on the shores of Kempenfelt Bay,
Scheifele has built a reputation on quiet dedication. Even though his stat line
is impressive enough, the big pivot brings it at both ends of the ice, which
makes him one of Barrie's
bright rising stars. 'Pretty much right
from Day 1 when he came in, he saw the opportunity and he seized it,' Colts
assistant GM Jason Ford said. 'Somebody told us he'd be our hardest-working
player and they're not far off – he treats practice like it's a game, he's just
a quality kid from a quality family.' Ford notes Scheifele has the ability to become a first- or second-line
center in the NHL one day, but added that, if you want to nitpick, the one
thing he could improve on is his skating. Though he is deceptively quick,
Scheifele may look heavy-footed at times, but Ford stressed in the long run
that's not a big concern. Because of how Scheifele attacks practices and how
driven he is to improve his game, there's little doubt whatever tweaks need to
be made, the Kitchener
native will adjust accordingly."
ESPN.com - "Scheifele went from No. 21 among North American skaters in
the CSS midterms to No. 16 in the final rankings. Back at the start of the
season he was No. 19 in the preliminary OHL rankings. Scheifele has been on a
bit of a roller-coaster -- a rise, a fall and another rise -- but he's been
highest at the season's end. One scout's
take: 'He was the best forward on the Canadian team at the Under-18 World
Championships and probably the second best player on that team after Ryan
Murphy. [Scheifele] was in and out during the season. He had a really good
stretch around the 20-game mark, but he fell off dramatically. His team was
weak. It can be hard to get a read on a kid in a bad situation and really,
surrounded by more talent and against a higher level of play, he played his
best hockey of the season. You have to think that's not just coincidence. You
wouldn't have bet on him having a big [under-18] tournament. He was bad at the
[CHL] Prospects Game, just about invisible. He struggled after a head injury in
February.' Stockwatch: Will not be around for the 16th overall pick."
Kyle Woodlief, Red Line Report – "Scheifele is an emerging
talent who has come farther, faster than anyone at the top end of this year's
class. He was a Tier II player during the 2009-10 campaign, but blossomed in
his first year of major junior as he began growing into his gangly frame and
putting together the pieces of a well rounded game. Despite getting no help and
having to create his own offense on a terrible, rebuilding club, Scheifele
managed to put up 75 points and topped off an impressive season as Canada's most
dangerous forward at the world under-18 championships."
Jess Rubenstein - "Pass as he was a JR B player before Barrie got him. He would be a major project and the Rangers cannot afford more projects."

Thoughts: Scheifele performed admirably for an awful club
this season. The minus-22 jumps out at
you, but his teammates may be more to blame than Scheifele himself. There are some minor skating concerns here
and Scheifele must fill out his lanky frame, but it sounds like he has a chance
to be a gem. Scheifele burst onto the
OHL scene as a 17-year-old this past season, so he'll undoubtedly need
significant time before he's ready for the NHL, but he has a chance to be a
