Most of the changes are isolated into the 'Stackless' directory and module in the Stackless source code. These include: - The scheduler. - Tasklets. - Channels. - Pickling support. - Hard switching (the assembler which shifts off stack portions). There are however some modifications to the main Python code. These include: - Soft switching (the changes which detect an unwind token and allow stack frames to be unwound). - Profiling and debugging. These are changed to be per-tasklet, rather than per-thread. Hope this helps, Richard.

The large display windows aside the entrance once exhibited oddities that the newspaper announced frequently on its front pages. However outrageous, like a record-sized pumpkin or unusual artifact, the Tribune invited its readers to stop in to see it.
It's hard to imagine in today's forensic world that one such item displayed was a human skull, believed to be remains of a murder victim. But, it happened.
"During the work of excavating for a basement for the home of Johannes Mouw, in the old Beech Tree section of Grand Haven, the whole skeleton of a human being was found Friday," the Grand Haven Tribune reported on Saturday, May 9, 1914. "The skull (is) placed on exhibition in the Tribune office window."
The remains had been found buried no more that 3 feet beneath the surface, facing down, and the skull was "thought by some to present a fracture," suggesting murder. Although remarkably preserved, the bones were estimated to have been buried for about 15 years.
"Within the past 15 years, there has been but one mysterious disappearance in the city of Grand Haven," the Tribune reported. "This was Will Sullivan, on the night of July 12 — 12 years ago."
Will Sullivan had disappeared in 1903, last seen walking between two unidentified men in the vicinity of the Beechtree section going by the engine house and city hall, eastbound toward the fourth ward. He was wearing his work garments and had not gone home to change his clothing.
His father, James Sullivan, as well as his mother, first believed the young man had gone out of the city for the Fourth of July. James Sullivan traced down sighting claims of his son in Muskegon and Grand Rapids, which produced no results.
When days went by and no one had heard or seen anything of Will Sullivan, Ottawa County Sheriff Henry J. Dykhius began to investigate.
It was learned Sullivan had never picked up wages due to him from Story and Clark that week and had made no withdrawals from his small bank account. So a theory he had simply left town for a new life never grew legs. But it was known Sullivan had cash on him, as much as $30, which authorities said merited a robbery and perhaps murder.
It was reported a cap belonging to Will Sullivan had been found floating in the river near the Goodrich docks on July 4, and a coat owned by the young man was left hanging on a boat house. With no other trace of the man, the sheriff assumed a drowning likely occurred.
The fact that a human skeleton was found buried in a shallow grave May 8, 1914, on Johannes Mouw's property, and Will Sullivan was the only unsolved missing person case in Grand Haven, it was concluded the remains must be the man. Authorities believed Sullivan was killed by the two strangers, robbed and buried.
The identities of the two strangers was never discovered.
The skull was displayed in the Tribune office window for several days for the curious to gaze upon and wonder. Was the mystery really solved? Even the Tribune wondered.
"The mystery of the skeleton is still a mystery in spite of efforts to clear up a reasonable identity," the Tribune reported on the front page of its May 13, 1914, edition. "During the last part of the excavation particular pains were taken to examine the ground for other traces of solutions to the strange find. But nothing further has rewarded the careful search."

War shield decorated with parrot feathers
Central Province, Papua New Guinea
AD late 1800s
This shield is thin and extremely light. It would allow a warrior to run, jump and manoeuvre his way around a battlefield. Made from a hardwood, it would also protect a warrior from the strike of a spear. If the blow split the shield, then its woven covering helped to hold it together.
Most shields from the Central Province in Papua New Guinea were decorated with brightly coloured parrot feathers like this one. As the shields were held high and brandished, their painted designs, woven patterns and feather decorations all served to dazzle and intimidate the enemy.
Warfare in this region would often be conducted in set-piece battles where wrongs were redressed by causing an injury or even death to an opposing group.

The hotel is well located and the overall quality of the infrastructure is very good.
The breakfast buffet is quite nice with assorted options of both healthy food and also some pastries.
The beach service is good with nicely located booth in Geribá beach with complimentary umbrellas and chairs for guests. There is also the option of purchasing beer and soft drinks and charge them to the room, another nice amenity.
The massage therapist does a great job and I would definitely recommend the service.
The restaurant has few options and unfortunately the food we tried in the only dinner we had there was not good at all.
The room (loft) is really good and spacious but the space could definitely be better managed. Outdoor Jacuzzi (a great idea!) is really small - impossible for 2 people - and bathroom/shower space could be larger for the room size. Second floor has virtually no use.
The "romantic package" could be better managed by the hotel staff overall, basically by not throwing service like it was standard and adding value to it.
The overall experience was great but I really expected a lot more - specially from a service perspective - from a Boutique Hotel that pricy.

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Brian Lenihan): It is not the practice to comment in detail on individual asylum applications.
As the Deputy will be aware, applications for refugee status in the State are determined by an independent process comprising the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and the Refugee Appeals Tribunal which make recommendations to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform on whether such status should be granted.
A final decision on this application will be made upon receipt of the decision of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal.

Guys! It's like freaking 30 degrees outside!
Um hello holy coldness Batman!
I was bred, born, and raised in New York and I have to say the last few years have been thee most excellent roller coaster weather wise! I swear you never know what you'll get next! Weather is like a box of chocolates here in our little city!
Al Gore told me it's Global Warming but I don't believe him because he also said he created the Internet!
Honestly, I remember when Fall was Fall and we had nice brisk weather that you needed a sweater for or a hoodie! Now a days it's somewhat like getting ready to go deep sea diving as you need a snow suit and a pile of warm clothes to face the freezing cold outside!
The weather may be frightful outside but I can re-live the warmth of Summer by indulging in Demeter Swimming Pool Pick-Me-Up Cologne Spray! This soft, aquatic scent carries a fresh ozone base that's reminiscent of a fresh laundered towel! Demeter Swimming Pool allows me to savor the warm weather anywhere, anytime (even in 30 degree weather) while I reminisce about the memory of a swim in a cool pool on a hot, humid day!
I hosed myself down with Demeter Swimming Pool this morning, stepped outside, closed my eyes, and pictured the warm weather.
Guess what happened?
I still froze my bloody arse off! But at least I smelled aquatic, fresh, and lovely! Thanks Demeter!
The Muse suggests checking some out! Maybe it'll keep you warm this Winter!

Ha ha, a New Yorker who doesn't like Al Gore, none the less the Global Warming hype. 😛
Yeah, I was about to comment under your latest post (Hello Kitty – MAC)
and then I scrolled down, so here I am
About the MAC Hello Kitty, I agree, the compact is a little out of character for the usual pink/white feel. It seems like they could've hit a home run with new, innovative product packaging. However, like you said, once I see it in the store, I'll probably get a few things! I don't know about you, but I have no buyer integrity when it comes to something like that (however, I'm skipping Dame Edna because those eyeshadows trios remind me of Heatherette).

morning Roxie!
Oh no I like him alright I just find some of what he says funny..I voted for him actually
I'm with you on the HK! Once I see it I'll want it all, no question, I was just disappointed upon first view sigh
Agreed on Dame Edna..again same o' same o' I do want most of it..I can't deny that..but it's mostly about the packaging and not so much what's insane…they could be a tiny bit more inventive with collections 😛
11/24/08 8:59 the Muse:
hi Anonymous.
No, I'm not a global warming denier..I'm simply being sarcastically funny in the post.
You'll run across alot of morbid humor on here.

hee hee you're so cute! This post is a prime example of why I love reading your blog!
I'm glad to hear Swimming Pool smells fresh, aquatic and freshly laundered…I was worried it was going to smell of chlorine! >_< With Demeter…you never quite know hehehe

This flavored lip balm with sunscreen moisturizes dry, chapped lips, but it does not include the ingredients needed to shield your skin from the sun's entire range of damaging UVA rays, which is essential for anti-aging benefits. Any SPF-rated product should contain one or more of the following UVA-protecting ingredients, listed as "active"—avobenzone, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, Mexoryl SX (ecamsule), or Tinosorb. Please see our Best Lip Products list for recommended lip balms with sunscreen.
More Info:
Note that the inactive ingredient list is presented in alphabetical order rather than in descending order of content. This is permissible because this lip balm with sunscreen is categorized as an over-the-counter drug product by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast moisturizes, protects and refreshes lips with a tantalizing fruit blend.
Active: Dimethicone (1.0%), Octinoxate (7.5%), Oxybenzone (2.5%) Other: Alumina, Beeswax (Apis Mellifera), Diethylhexyl Adipate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Flavor, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Isopropyl Myristate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Isopropyl Stearate, Jojoba Esters, Microcrystalline Wax, Myristyl Myristate, Phenoxyethanol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Polyethylene, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Saccharin, Silica, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Titanium Dioxide, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)
Blistex At-A-Glance
Strengths: Includes complete ingredients for all of its products on the company Web site; a couple of lip balms with excellent UVA protection and above-average formulas.
Weaknesses: The majority of lip balms with sunscreen lack sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients, leaving lips vulnerable to sun damage; many contain irritants such as menthol or camphor.
How this small but longstanding line of lip products has achieved the status of being the solution for cold sores or chapped lips eludes me! Most of these lip products contain enough irritating ingredients to chap anyone's lips. Lots of lip products claim to be medicated, but "medicated" is a dubious term at best, with no regulated meaning.
The way Blistex and a handful of other companies define medicated, it means using camphor, menthol, or phenol in their formulations, yet none of these are in any way, shape, or form "medicines" or "treatments" for dry lips. Quite the contrary, they make dry skin worse and can cause irritation. Products like Blistex can include 0.5% phenol, a potent disinfectant, that is strong enough to actually trigger some serious problems, the least of which are dryness and irritation. It is not something I would recommend for anything but extremely limited use because repeated application can keep your lips chapped forever.
Blistex beckons to you to "discover what your lips are missing," but with few exceptions your lips aren't missing anything with these products except the irritation or inadequate sun protection they provide—definitely an instance where missing something is a good thing! One more thing: Press materials and Blistex's Web site mention dermatologist Dr. Charles Zugerman as an advisor to the company. Yet for a dermatologist whose special interests include allergic contact dermatitis to endorse lip products with known irritants is puzzling to say the least. And if Dr. Zugerman knows about the need for sufficient UVA protection and the ingredients it takes to achieve that, he's not sharing that knowledge on a consistent basis with Blistex. This is just another example of how a dermatologist's endorsement may create an impression of professional credibility, which can be different from speaking to the efficacy or safety of the products themselves.

CAIRO – The opening of a first ever "halal" sex shop has triggered waves of queries among Muslims, seeing the topic, which tackled a taboo issue in the Muslim world, as a reflective of the adaptive qualities of capitalism in the west.
"Muslim countries have all of these but they don't advertise them," Hamza Yusuf, an American Islamic scholar and co-founder of Zaytuna College in Berkeley, California, told Foreign Policy by phone.
"It all goes back to the monetization of religion."
Sparking an expected controversy, a so-called "Islamic" online sex shop opened ten days ago in Turkey to sell "halal" sex products, becoming the first of its kind in the predominantly Muslim country.
The founder of website, Haluk Murat Demirel, 38, said he had been inspired to launch the site by friends who wanted sex advice and products but found the content on other websites and in specialist stores too explicit.
Allah created the sexual desire in humans. It is as normal as is the desire for food or shelter.
Yet, Islam is aware of educating man on the proper way of satisfying his desire in the light of its noble teachings.
In Islam, sexual relations are allowed only among the married couples. Sex outside marriage is not allowed.
While rigid rules governing pre-marital relations in Islam, the Qur'an and Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) make clear that sex within the confines of marriage is not purely for procreation, as it is in some Christian denominations.
"The maximum limit a husband is allowed to be away from his wife is four months, or six months according to the view of the Hanbali scholars. This is the maximum period a woman can endure separation from her husband," Dr. Su`aad Salih, professor of Fiqh at Al-Azhar Univ., states in a fatwa to OnIslam.net.
"It's not a prudish culture ... but decorum is still very important," Yusuf said.
In Turkey, though similar shops operate freely, public discussion of sex is still a delicate subject.
"They invented 'Islamic fashion'," writes one Turkey's most-read newspaper columnist, Ahmet Hakan, BBC reported.
"Then 'Islamic hotels' and 'Islamic holidays'. Now, finally, they've moved into sexual products."
On social media in Turkey, Helal Sex Shop is the subject of intense debate.
"Let your Helal shop be for the best... :) The only thing you have not exploited for religion was lubricant," writes one critic on Twitter.
"It's a website that helps people who are having sex with their spouses," posts another commentator.
"Instead of being criticized it deserves to be appreciated."
The debate, however, has spread the new website which now gets around 50,000 clicks a day.
Approximately 99 percent of Turkey's population are Muslim, mostly Sunnis.
Turkey does have so-called "erotic shops" in its streets, however Islamic conservative Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan suggested last year they rename themselves "love shops."

Browser plugin allows nearly any program to be executed.
By Tim Colwill on July 31, 2012 at 12:02 pm
Ubisoft's Uplay doesn't exactly have a good rep with PC gamers already due to its tendency to go down at key times and leave gamers unable to play their games – but it's about to get even worse. Late last night it was revealed that Ubisoft's Uplay software came unwittingly packaged with a gaping backdoor: a browser plugin that Uplay installs into your computer during setup.
This browser plugin could theoretically be used to execute nearly any program through Uplay – indeed, adventurous users on the Ubisoft forums themselves quickly discovered they could quickly write scripts that used Uplay to launch Windows Calculator and other programs – and as such we're being warned to update our Uplay software immediately.
Ubisoft jumped on the news quickly and have issued the following statement: "We have made a forced patch to correct the flaw in the browser plug-in for the Uplay PC application that was brought to our attention earlier today. We recommend that all Uplay users update their Uplay PC application without a Web browser open. This will allow the plug-in to update correctly. An updated version of the Uplay PC installer with the patch also is available from Uplay.com." Many users are uninstalling completely until the problem can be verified as fixed, which might be a reasonable precaution.

In 2006, Michigan voters approved a constitutional amendment prohibiting racial, gender and ethnic discrimination in public employment, public contracting and public education.
The language, approved by 58% of the citizenry of the Great Lakes State, is straightforward:
The University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Wayne State University, and any other public college or university, community college or school district shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education or public contracting. (Article 1, Sec. 26)
This amendment, known as Proposal 2 or the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative (MCRI), stands for the reasonable proposition that public contracts, public employment and admission into our public universities and colleges must be color-blind, gender neutral and free of any ethnic bias or prejudice. The underlying rationale is the belief that when a student knocks at the door of one of Michigan's outstanding colleges or universities, seeking admittance, that the educational door should swing open based on talent, merit and ability.
As often is the case, lawsuits were filed and judicial review followed.
The U.S. District Court in Detroit already upheld the constitutionality of Proposal 2. But the most recent en banc decision by the 6th Circuit took the opposite path, by a razor-thin margin of 8-7, with two judges not voting.
In that decision, the 6th Circuit declared the efforts of the People of the State of Michigan to prohibit discrimination in the admission policies of our public educational institutions violated the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Surprised? Well, join the crowd. Many were perplexed by the decision, including legal scholars and observers across the country.
The language of Proposal 2 is nearly a mirror image of California's Proposition 209, approved in that state 16 years earlier. Furthermore, both the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (once thought to be the most liberal appellate court in the land) and the California Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Proposition 209.
The recent 6th Circuit decision turns the federal Constitution's equal protection clause on its head. In an opinion that can only be construed as what is up is down, and what is down is sideways, the court states that the Michigan approach of treating everyone equally and banning racial and gender and ethnic discrimination actually perpetuates discrimination.
Even more surprising, the majority opinion declared boldly that not only does the U.S. Constitution allow states to use racial and gender preferences in narrow circumstances, it apparently mandates that states do so. That conclusion is misguided and should be reversed.
That is why I will continue this battle in the U.S. Supreme Court, joining the 6th Circuit's dissenting Judge Richard Allen Griffin, who urged the court to "consign this misguided doctrine to the annals of judicial history."
I intend to file an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court promptly. The principle of equal protection under the law and the proposition that admission policies must be color-blind, gender neutral and free of bias and prejudice will prevail.
I remain confident that after the Supreme Court issues its ruling, the doors of our tremendous universities and colleges will be open for admission based on talent, merit and ability, providing equality and opportunity for decades to come.
Bill Schuette is the attorney general of Michigan

Presnell's rapid progress continues
BY Bruce Young | US PGA Tour | 2012 Frys.com Open | Wrap | 15 Oct 2012
Victorian Alistair Presnell this week continued on from where he left off last week when 3rd in Maryland, by finishing runner-up to American Shawn Stefani at the Web.com Tour's Miccosukee Championship in Miami.
It would mean yet another huge leap in money list position for the 33 year old and after starting last week's event in 55th position on the money list, Presnell has jumped 36 positions to 19th and is now on the verge of playing the USPGA Tour in 2013.
With just next week's Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open and the season ending Tour Championship to come, Presnell looks all but assured of graduating to the PGA Tour for the first time.
Presnell has long been considered a player capable of making it to the big time and further confirmed that when he contended over the opening 36 holes at the US Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco this year before finishing 29th which was an excellent debut in the event.
A 6th place finish at the World Golf Championship event at Doral in 2010 gave an indication as to his capacity to handle the higher level of play on the PGA Tour, a finish that provided him with his biggest ever cheque in the game.
The Moonah Classic winner in 2009 and the Victorian PGA Champion in 2010 when recording a final round of 60, Presnell had struggled for much of the season after the US Open until last week's effort in Maryland.
After a slow start this week he stormed through the field and although five shots behind the winner, he finished four shots ahead of the third placed Russell Henley.
It has not only be a triumph for Presnell's tenacity to work hard on his game and his persistence when battling, it has also been a triumph for his performance coach, Sean Lynch.
Lynch has not only overseen the progress of Presnell but also that of Cameron Percy and Scott Gardiner. It is perhaps no coincidence that all three now appear assured of being amongst the graduates from this year's Web.com Tour.
The winner this week Shawn Stefani won for the second time in 2012 and the Web.com Tour rookie now gets to be a rookie again next year but at a much higher level.
Australians Aron Price and Cameron Percy finished in a share of 9th to be the next best of the Australasians. Steve Allan and Scott Gardiner were 13th and Bronson La Cassie 21st.

4-level expandable list views
Now there was a comment at that blog post whether 4-level lists are possible. Of course they are possible, it is just not a good UI design. But I guess, you better try it yourself if you don't believe me. The principle is the same (expandable lists embedded as children of higher-level expandable lists), it is just much more complex to make sure that everything is recalculated correctly for every event. In order to follow the operation, I left a good amount of debugging code in the project.
Click here to access the example program.

ok so I've seen your code for the 3 level list and 4 one, however what I wanted to try is to close an opened level when another of the same level is already opened (this when on groupclicked).
- Red
- red1
- red2
So red 1 and red 2 cannot be opened at the same time. I attempted this but somehow I get an arrayindexoutofbounds when handling the groupclicked and the list.closegroup(x) :S .. how cold I fix this?

This is one of the more interesting posts on Slam in some time, from a cultural standpoint, and an industry one, this is a big move. I first heard of Li Ning just some few months ago, infact it was a Taxi Driver in Portland telling me of a new sportswear company he heard of that was threatening Nike and Adidas supremacy within the market, inparticular a company that had a stranglehold over the Chinese market and a better understanding of how to approach the cultural differences which often make it hard for westerners to build within that society.
Li Ning is the founder of Li Ning Sports Goods Company, in his 19 year long career in Gymnastics Li Ning won 106 gold medals and was a two time World Champion , his achievements include creating world gymnastic records by winning six of seven gold medals for men at the sixth world cup gymanastic competition in 1982, afterwards he was crowned as the title prince of gymnastics, in the 23rd LA olympic games in 1984 , he won 3 gold medals .2 silver and 1 Bronze medal .
To further the advancement of Li Ning, Im guessing in time for next years home bound Olympics, the company have invited some of the best known Western Artists to take part in a Exhibition and Project entitled 'Say No to Limits'. The guest artists who designed garments and works of art to celebrate this Li Ning Attitude included Kaws, James Jarvis, Delta, Mr A, Phunk Studio, Hidekichi Shigemoto, and Kuntzel and Deygas invited by Colette. Check out the exclusive coverage of the event here at Slam. Remember you heard it and saw it here first.
Big thanks to Ura Street for the pics and if you want to find out more of this brand and the project you can check out Say No to Limits.

For the first time in history, the Saudi Arabian squad will include women – one competing in judo and the other in 800m run. Brunei and Qatar will also break with tradition to include female athletes. Then there's Zamzam Ali Farah of Team Somalia, who had to endure intimidation from al-Shabab militants while training in Mogadishu for the 800m:
"The Shebab kept threatening me, they wanted to stop me from reaching my dreams," said Farah. "It was hard since that meant we were forced to have our training indoors."
Citing a Goldman Sachs report (pdf), Catherine Rampell notes that women now account for around 40% of Olympic athletes and this year is the first Games in which every country is fielding females.

American Heart Association Hands Only CPR
The American Heart Association is running a campaign encouraging bystanders to use Hands-Only CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) when an adult collapses and is unresponsive. Public service commercials distributed through the Ad Council lead to a web site, www.HandsOnlyCPR.org, providing an interactive "Hands Symphony", a smartphone app and instructions on hands only CPR.
Hands-Only CPR, or CPR without mouth-to-mouth breathing, is a two-step technique that involves calling 9-1-1 and pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest until professional help arrives. Forty-four percent of adults say they would not perform CPR because they're not confident in their ability, according to a national American Heart Association survey conducted in 2008. Consumer research also shows that people often hesitate because they're not comfortable with giving mouth-to-mouth CPR.
"This new campaign beautifully depicts the power of hands in helping to save a life," Conlon said. "I believe it will empower more bystanders to take action when they see someone in cardiac arrest."
Through the Hands-Only CPR campaign, the American Heart Association and Ad Council hope to reach all adults, particularly women age 55 years and older who are most likely to be the spouses of potential victims.

SUV crash snaps utility pole, injures 2 people in East Naples
EAST NAPLES - Careless driving contributed to an alcohol-related crash this morning that injured two people when their SUV struck a utility pole near St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church in East Naples, according to Florida Highway Patrol reports.
At 1:12 a.m. Friday, a 2003 Mazda Tribute sport utility vehicle driven by Nicole Marie Shapiro, 31, of Cape Coral was westbound in the right lane of Rattlesnake Hammock Road when it traveled off the road, onto the right shoulder and struck a wooden utility pole east of Valley Stream Drive. The pole snapped, creating a safety hazard from downed power lines on the pole, the FHP reports.
Shapiro and a passenger, Brian J. Parr, 39, of East Naples, both received minor injuries in the single-vehicle crash and were taken to NCH Hospital in downtown Naples. Both occupants were wearing seat belts, the FHP reports.
Shapiro was charged with careless driving, and additional charges are pending in what troopers confirm to be an alcohol-related crash, the FHP reports.
The damage estimate to the SUV is $10,000, the report shows. A damage estimate was not available for the pole or the Florida Power & Light lines.

Believe it or not, your IRA custodians have a huge impact on your ultimate investment results. I received an email recently from "K" with a frequently asked question about IRAs. My answer will illustrate exactly what I mean.
Here's K:
"We have a few IRAs that I would like to roll over into one IRA for simplicity's sake. Can you suggest how to even begin researching which one to choose? I start reading this and that and front-loading, rear-loading, and my eyes glaze over. We don't really have the money for an advisor and such – so how can "regular" people make a selection?"
Nice question, K. It shows old Pilgrim Boy you're really using your noodle. You're definitely on the right track. There is almost no reason to have lots of different IRA accounts all over town. Combine and simplify. That's my motto. But remember, do not use an IRA custodian if they restrict your investment strategy. You don't have to conform to them. There is a huge difference between IRA restrictions and IRA custodian restrictions.
As you'll see, if you have investments directly held at mutual funds, banks, insurance companies or brokerage firms, they often restrict you big time. They want you to buy their "schlock" and nothing else. So if you have your IRA at Vanguard (for example) you'll pretty much have to have Vanguard funds. If you have an IRA with a brokerage firm, you can only own what the broker wants you to own. Stinky-poo.
Consolidate your IRA investments with a custodian who won't restrict you. This is one of the best ways to save money because it reduces IRA fees.
This will make your life simpler and make it easier to track your money. Also, you'll be able to reduce costs and actually make better investments. My advice is to roll all the accounts over to one custodian like Fidelity or TD Ameritrade. They'll hold (almost) all your funds and investments, and they have a large menu of other investments you can make — many of which are no-load.
Now, let's address how to invest your IRA money.
I advise you NOT to invest in any loaded funds like I said. That means no A, B or C shares. You can find great alternatives that won't charge these commissions. (If you go into a bank, they'll try like crazy to shove these loaded alternatives down your throat, but don't fall for it. Tell them to shove it instead.)
In order to even have no-load funds as choices, you have to open an account at a place like TD Ameritrade or Fidelity. If you open your IRA at a bank or with a brokerage (like Ameriprise) you'll have to deal with a broker and then you might be sold loaded funds.
Also, the bank or brokerage company probably won't hold on to your old IRA investments. They'll force you to sell them all. But if you go to TD Ameritrade or Fidelity, you can hold your old investments and buy just about anything you want without paying loads when you make new IRA contributions.
Advisors who are Registered Investment Advisors use Fidelity and TD Ameritrade too. This way they can offer clients like you no-load funds. However, if you decide to use an advisor, she'll charge you an annual fee of 1 or 2% – depending on the size of your account. If you don't want to manage the account yourself, getting an advisor might be a worthwhile alternative. I like that alternative better than using a broker who will sell you funds that have commissions (loaded funds).
In my experience, it's really hard to find an impartial broker who knows what he or she is doing. You might get lucky but I'd prefer that you open an IRA with TD Ameritrade or Fidelity and then roll all your IRAs to that custodian. At that point, use an advisor, or if you want to manage the money yourself, you'll have all the choices in the world.
Once you do that, you'll have a world of funds available – and most will be no-load. Now you must decide how to invest that money.
If you are young and you have many years before you plan on using that money, you really ought to consider growth. You'll face ups and downs of course, but over the long-run you'll be better off.

* Lawrence Technological University will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for its third residence hall on Monday, April 7, at 11 a.m. The public is invited to the ceremony, which will take place near University Housing-North on the campus at 21000 West 10 Mile Road in Southfield. (For directions and map, see ltu.edu/contacts.) The $11.6 million project is scheduled for completion in time for fall classes in 2015. The 47,545-square-foot, two-story building, which will have a capacity of 160 students, will be adjacent to the university's largest parking lot along the Northwestern Highway service drive. Lawrence Tech currently has capacity for 600 students at its two residence halls. University Housing Solutions and Adena Corp., both of Mansfield, Ohio, are the developer-design-builder and construction manager for the project, respectively. JPRA Architects of Farmington Hills developed the plans and are the architects of record. The new residence hall will have five pods with 16 double-occupancy units. Each pod in the new building will have its own common lounge with fireplace and kitchenette space complete with range, refrigerator, and microwave appliances. Amenities include cafe/retail space on the first floor, central laundry on both floors, a multi-purpose room, a game room, and two conference-type spaces. LTU's addition of varsity athletic programs and more student activities has created a greater demand for on-campus housing. During the current academic year, LTU is leasing residential suites for 80 students at Arbor Lofts located near campus on Civic Center Drive in Southfield. The school expects immediate, 100 percent occupancy of the new hall. Lawrence Technological University, http://www.ltu.edu, is a private university founded in 1932 that offers more than 100 programs through the doctoral level in its Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Management. PayScale lists Lawrence Tech among the nation's top 7 percent of universities for return on undergraduate tuition investment, and highest in the Detroit metropolitan area. Lawrence Tech is also listed in the top tier of Midwestern universities by U.S. News and World Report and the Princeton Review. Activities on Lawrence Tech's 102-acre campus include over 60 student clubs and organizations and a growing roster of NAIA varsity sports.

* Auburn Hills-based Patti Engineering will host a grand opening celebration at a new office in Austin, Texas Friday. Founder and former president of Patti Engineering Sam Hoff, now an executive vice president, spearheaded its expansion to Texas in the spring of 2010. The company cites its partnerships with Siemens, Mitsubishi, Phoenix Contact, Matrox, Kawasaki Robotics and Indusoft as critical components to its success in the Texas region. The company has formed great working relationships with several Texas automation suppliers. AWC is a leading automation supplier and distributor of Siemens automation products. AWC and Patti Engineering have worked together on many projects, including assisting national oil well equipment manufacturers in the design, development and implementation of complex automated drilling technology. For more information, visit http://www.pattieng.com.
* The Saginaw education and nonprofit group purchasing organization MiCTA has designated T-Mobile US Inc. (NYSE: TMUS) as an approved national vendor for cellular services to its membership. T-Mobile's designation as an approved national vendor is the result of MiCTA's competitive bidding process, which evaluates telecommunications and technology solutions on behalf of its nationwide membership. Through a MiCTA Master Service Agreement, MiCTA members may purchase approved telecommunications and technology products and services at volume discounts. Besides offering significant cost savings, this approach also eliminates the need for MiCTA members to conduct their own costly competitive bidding processes. MiCTA, located at 4805 Towne Centre, Suite 100 in Saginaw, represents thousands of higher education, K-12, healthcare, library, governmental, non-profit and charitable entities. Nationally, MiCTA negotiates purchase contracts for discounted telecommunications and technology services, provides helpful information, makes grants, and participates in legislative and regulatory telecommunications advocacy for its members.

And here's the national, international, interplanetary, interstellar and universal stuff, courtesy of CBS News, CNet's News.com and other fine news sources…
* About 252 million years ago, more than 96 percent of ocean life and 70 percent of land-based life forms died in an event known as the end-Permian extinction. The mass die-off happened in a geologic flash of just 60,000 years. Scientists have proposed everything from massive meteor impacts to coal explosions to rifting supercontinents to explain this cataclysmic extinction. Now, new research suggests that bacteria, with a little help from massive volcanism, produced large quantities of methane, killing most life on the planet.
* If you've ever wondered what it's like to be part of a kickabout with Messi, Neymar and the world's finest footballers, now's your chance to find out… as long as you don't mind being the ball. Adidas has put HD cameras inside a high-tech match ball to get soccer fans excited ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. (Unfortunately word is Brazil is even less ready for the Copa do Mundo than Sochi was for the Winter Olympics. But at least Brazil isn't likely to invade anybody right after the Cup. We hope.)
* When communicating online, words sometimes just aren't enough, says City University London Professor Adrian David Cheok. Now, he has a solution: researchers at his Mixed Reality Lab on campus are coming up with ways to say it with a smell — developing cell phone apps and plug-ins that emit scents like flowers, food and spices. (Like Oscar Mayer's bacon app!)
* Sometimes the object spotted in the Indian Ocean is a snarled fishing line. Or a buoy. Or something that might once have been the lid to an ice box. Not once – not yet at least – has it been a clue. Anticipation has repeatedly turned into frustration in the search for signs of Flight 370 as objects spotted from planes in a new search area west of Australia have turned out to be garbage. It's a time-wasting distraction for air and sea crews searching for debris from the Malaysia Airlines flight that vanished March 8. It also points to wider problems in the world's oceans. "The ocean is like a plastic soup, bulked up with the croutons of these larger items," said Los Angeles captain Charles Moore, an environmental advocate credited with bringing attention to an ocean gyre between Hawaii and California known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which by some accounts is about the size of Texas.
* Online home rental service Airbnb has agreed to pay San Francisco's 14 percent hotel tax, addressing at least one concern of critics who say the company is flouting regulations. Under the plan, Airbnb would collect taxes directly from guests as an extra charge on their bill – the same way hotels do, the San Francisco Chronicle reported on Monday. For example, a guest staying in a $100-per-night Airbnb room would pay an extra $14 a night.
* Google's new Pokemon Master? Internet-connected goggles for dogs? A private island for tech startups? If these all seem too good to be true, check your calendar — it probably is. Unlike the 75 percent of Americans who said they wouldn't pull a prank on Tuesday, for tech companies, April Fools' Day is like Christmas to them — delivering promises of fantastical products that would dupe even the most skeptical users. This year, April 1 was no different.
* Dating site OKCupid took an aggressive step on Monday to make sure that its budding romantics who use Firefox knew exactly what the company thinks of Mozilla's new chief executive, co-founder Brendan Eich. Seems Eich donated money to the effort to pass the anti-gay-marriage Proposition 8 in 2008, so OKCupid is urging its users to dump Firefox and use another browser. OKCupid went so far as to put up an anti-Firefox message on its home page when it detects Firefox in use. OKCupid co-founder Christian Rudder wrote, "Those who seek to deny love and instead enforce misery, shame, and frustration are our enemies, and we wish them nothing but failure."
* You could call it one small step for a ship, one giant leap for oceanographic research. The U.S. Navy named the first of a new class of research vessels after the first man to walk on the moon, astronaut Neil Armstrong, during a ceremony Saturday at the Port of Anacortes Transit Shed in Washington.
* There's just over a week left before Microsoft stops supporting its Windows XP operating system, which will leave millions of computers vulnerable to security threats, including ATMs across the country. The change will take place on April 8. After that, Microsoft will no longer issue automatic security updates to fix bugs or protect against new viruses. NCR, the nation's largest supplier of ATMs, estimates that 95 percent of the cash machines run Windows XP and only 20 to 30 percent will be fixed before the deadline. CNet senior editor Dan Ackerman joined "CBS This Morning" to discuss the possible security risk. He told the co-hosts that ATMs and other computers running Windows XP will work fine after the deadline, but that it serves as a "warning bell" for everyone.
* The sun unleashed a major solar flare on Saturday, causing a radio blackout for several minutes on Earth, space weather experts say. The brief X1-class flare erupted from the now decaying sunspot AR2017 at 1:48 p.m. EDT (1748 GMT) on Saturday, according to a report from the NOAA-led Space Weather Prediction Center. Although AR2017 is dissipating, it may still produce more solar flares in the coming days, the report stated.
* "Climate change is happening, the signs of it, the impacts, are detectible already," says Dr. Michael Oppenheimer, lead author of the UN's latest report on climate change. "If you live in a city, if you live along the coast, or if you eat to live, this is a problem you have to worry about." A review of scientific research conducted since 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report definitively concludes that the effects of climate change are already impacting everything from global safety to food supplies. "There is no one on Earth who escapes the effects of climate change," Oppenheimer told CBS News. The most pressing matter, he said, is food supply. A warmer world will push food prices higher, trigger "hotspots of hunger" among the world's poorest people, and put a crunch on supplies of Western delicacies like fine wine and robust coffee, according to the 32-volume report issued Monday.
* Whether this is a clever April Fools' Day prank or the ultimate bid in Kiev party politics, watching Darth Vader hit the Ukraine campaign trail is an epic sight to behold. According to the The Guardian, "the Sith lord, or at least an unnamed costumed protester often seen on Kiev's Independence Square flanked by his loyal stormtroopers during the winter protests, has been chosen as the official candidate of the Ukrainian Internet Party (UIP), which has become known for its theatrical public stunts."
* During opening arguments in a new patent infringement trial in San Jose, Calif., Apple Tuesday said Samsung flat-out copied its iPhone after suffering a 'crisis of design.' Apple seeks $2 billion in damages from its smartphone rival.
* LTE coverage is improving for the four major carriers in the United States, but data transfer speeds on the 4G network are on their way down over the last year, data collected from subscribers shows. OpenSignal, whose app people can use to monitor their coverage, shows that T-Mobile has the fastest data transfer speeds over the last three months, averaging 11.5Mbps. AT&T placed second at 9.1Mbps, Verizon was in third at 7.8Mbps, and Sprint was slowest at 4.3Mbps. Those speeds dropped over the last year, though, as measured by the 103,025 OpenSignal users that reported data.
* Google's YouTube will be offering more ad-tracking capabilities for an extended period of time from Nielsen, the television ratings company, deepening the possibility of more ad dollars being siphoned from traditional TV to the massive upstart platform. Google long held Nielsen at arm's length, keeping third-party measurement of ads running on YouTube at bay, which discouraged some advertisers — raised on a decades-long reliance on Nielsen ratings for their media buys — from using the Web's biggest video platform as an outlet for commercials. That changed in November when Google allowed Nielsen to put what are called "online campaign ratings" on some ads. Tuesday, Nielsen said it has extended this collaboration with Google, with YouTube agreeing to make the online campaign ratings available to some advertisers who buy Google's new preferred video lineups and integrating online campaign ratings with DoubleClick, the online ad firm Google bought in 2007.
* HBO may hold god-like status in the entertainment realm, but can it control the weather? You'd almost think it could, thanks to a new satellite image released Tuesday from NOAA'S GOES-15 satellite. The shot shows three swirling cloud systems that upon close inspection resemble curled-up dragons lined up straight across the country. The image comes just six days before the network premieres season four of "Game of Thrones."
* Take six adults. Lock them in a solar dome in an abandoned quarry. Give them each a super-small bedroom. Keep them there for four months. Watch. It might sound like a new reality TV show, but it's what's currently happening on the northern slope of Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano as part of NASA's Hawaii Space Exploration and Analog Simulation (HI-SEAS) mission. The faux crew members will pretend to live on the surface of Mars, right down to needing to put on space suits when they go outside.
* Hey, students: If you're going after a computer science degree, you'll get your best ROI at a cheaper state school, provided it's a good one. Which we have several of right here in Michigan.
* Wi-Fi is about to get better soon, thanks to a Federal Communications Commission vote to open up more spectrum for its use.

Steve D.wrote a review of Rocky Mountain Altitude 29 on May 30, 2011
Altitude Growing on Me
Got this bike because I killed my Rocky ETSX-70. Lasted 5.5 years which is a record for me so sold on Rocky's construction. Went with the Altitude since I've always loved 9ers and I swapped out all the Shimano SLX with SRAM X9 and XT cranks. This is my 3rd 29er but first FS. At first I thought I made a mistake. The geometry is so different I felt awkward and too far forward on the bike for the downhill and it seemed to climb slow. After riding it for a few hundred miles with friends, I realize it's not slow at all. As you would expect on a 29er, this thing gets rolling and it doesn't want to stop for any obstacle.
What really surprised me was the stability on technical switchbacks. Didn't expect that from such a massive wheel base. It also is like a M1 tank climbing lose steep stuff as it seems to climb over everything including railroad tie stairs that I've never cleared.
I miss the nimbleness of the ETSX, but this bike is growing on me. It's fairly heavy for an XC or light Trail bike but feels solid under my 6'3" 220 body. Might try racing it next month.

Best/Worst? Wrestlemania 30, The Last One That Matters
I'm pretty much dead center in between Wrestlemania 27 (on the low end) and Wrestlemania X-7 on the Wrasslemania hype scale. If you'd told be back in October that Daniel Bryan would probably win the WWE Heavyweight Championship (wait, the what?) in the main even of Wrestlemania I'd be all a-tingle with anticipation, but six months of screwjobs and bad storytelling have dulled my excitement a bit. At this point Daniel Bryan winning on Sunday is Martin Scorsese finally getting his Oscar for The Departed. It's a nice thing I'd like to happen to Daniel Bryan because I like him and enjoy his work, but it's not something I'm particularly invested in, and dammit, it really should've happened when he was in his WWE prime (the 2011/2012 AJ period).
Still, even if I'm not crazy about any of the storylines heading into Wrestlemania, I still feel a certain obligation to watch the show, because, well, it's the last one that's going to matter (and trust me, this one matters). WWE is using "9.99 Wrestlemania!" as the main selling point for the WWE Network, and we're going to see the ultimate crowning of a guy who's been the biggest fan-driven phenomenon since Stone Cold Steve Austin. That's big! Sadly Wrestlemania won't be this big again for a long time (if ever). Ironically Wrestlemania exists this year to sell the Network, and if Wrestlemania succeeds it essentially destroys itself.
The goal of the Network is to replace WWE's ailing pay-per-view business, but Wrestlemania without PPV isn't Wrestlemania. Wrestlemania's importance is based on it being THE BIG SHOW (uh, the metaphorical big show, not the chokeslams guy) and when I say the big show, I mean the show that makes the most money. It underlies every Road To Wrestlemania storyline. All the stuff about wanting to have a "Wrestlemania moment" or "win the title at the grandest stage of them all" is code for "I want to have a high profile match at Wrestlemania because that s–t is crazy lucrative." The storylines work because the element of truth is there — for up-and-coming guys, getting on Wrestlemania is the difference between making a decent middle-income and being the wealthy wrestler they always dreamed of being. For the established guys, a top spot can be the difference between a good year, and a "buy a second mansion" year.
If the Network succeeds Wrestlemania ceases being a product and becomes just another TV show. A star-studded TV show in a bigger arena than usual, but still, just a TV show. It will be "important", but only because WWE tells you that it's important. One more meaningless WWE trinket backed up by empty words. At one time, for instance, championships were used to draw audiences to shows, and the guy who held the championship could tour with it and make more money. Titles meant something concrete to wrestling promotions and the guys who held them. Today WWE tells you a dozen times per hour how important titles are, but nobody cares, because there is no concrete value. John Cena with and without the title is the exact same dude in the exact same place. The titles are props, and Wrestlemania will become a prop too once it loses that underlying concrete value. It's all too fitting that Wrestlemania 30 features the debut of the Andre the Giant Memorial Trophy, a brand new prop WWE hasn't made the slightest attempt to imbue with any real value.
The Andre The Giant Memorial Trophy — Wrestlemania's new spirit animal.
It's also going to be some time before we see another truly gratifying ascension at Wrestlemania. Your Roman Reignses and Big Es are good, talented guys, but they've been hand picked by WWE. They haven't had to legitimately fight their way up the card like Daniel Bryan has. When Roman Reigns wins the title at Wrestlemania 31 it won't be because the fans invested in him, and the same level of catharsis isn't going to be there. It's the difference between Eddie Guerrero winning the title at Wrestlemania and Batista winning the title at Wrestlemania. We're in for a lot of Batistas over the next few years.
But perhaps I'm making things sound too bleak. The pomp and circumstance of Wrestlemania isn't going away, there's just going to be less substance behind the flashy lights. Ultimately, if Wrestlemania is going to continue on as an important thing, it's going to be the fans' doing. Over the past few years Wrestlemania has, more than ever before, become a massive gathering of wrestlers and wrestling fans from around the world and different walks of life. The Raw after Wrestlemania is now more important than Wrestlemania itself — it's where the "Yes Movement" truly started, and quite possibly where the next big thing will happen too.
So hey, maybe we've just moved towards a more literal interpretation of Wrestlemania. Instead of it just being a big wrestling show, its value going forward is as a convention of sorts where people with a mania for wrestling gather. I can deal with that. Have fun on Sunday folks.

1. The "Center for Rationality"
"Founded in 1991, the Hebrew University's Center for the Study of Rationality [at first it was simply called "Center for Rationality"] is a unique venture in which faculty, students, and guests join forces to explore the rational basis of decision-making. Coming from a broad sweep of departments — mathematics, economics, psychology, biology, education, computer science, philosophy, business, statistics, and law — its members apply game- theoretic tools to examine the processes by which individuals seeking the path of maximum benefit respond to real-world situations where individuals with different goals interact."
Game theory was always strong at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a nice aspect of it is the combination of mathematics and debating. As an undergraduate I was quite interested in game theory along with combinatorics and convexity, and my first published paper was on game theory, with Michael Maschler and Guillermo Owen. Later I moved in other directions, but more recently, in part because of my membership in the Center for the last ten years and in part because of my collaboration with economists Ariel Rubinstein (who was my classmate in my undergraduate years) and Rani Spiegler, I am trying to do research and write papers in theoretical economics. Not having the basic instincts of an economist, and lacking some basic background, makes it especially difficult.
Let me also mention that there are very interesting connections between computer science and economics and a very large emerging research community.
2. Many many controversies
Among the many issues discussed and debated in seminars at the Center (the regular ones are the "Game Theory Seminar" on Sundays and the "Rationality on Friday" seminars on… Fridays,) roundtables, the annual retreat, Sunday's sandwich gatherings, and ample debates over e-mail were:
The controversy over expected utility theory (we will come back to it below); (Little updates: May, 21)
The role of psychology in economics;
The relevance of "neuroeconomy";

Will Rogers World Airport closed today as weather conditions continued to prevent flights from arriving or leaving Oklahoma City.
Crews de-iced the runway overnight, but heavy snow moved in early in the day causing further problems. The airport remained open until 2:30 p.m. as officials hoped a break in the weather would allow some flights to arrive.

LAKE STEVENS, Washington — A stellar weekend for the Shaylen Raye Motorsports team at Skagit Speedway as driver Travis Jacobson set fast time in both the 410 and 360 Sprint divisions then went out and won the highly competitive 410 main event.
Jacobson was fast all night with 11.8 and 12.2 times in qualifying that paced the field for yet another sweep of fast times on the weekend. Travis win in the 410 main and second place finish in the 360 main have him second in points for the 410 division and leading the pack in the 360 class at Skagit Speedway. Although the team is not racing for points they are sitting pretty going into Prelude to the Dirt Cup weekend.
Interviewed in Winner's Circle after the races on Saturday night Travis said, "the new Shark engine makes great horsepower. We were really, really lucky to win this one." Jacobson was referring to a late race spin while leading the race that coincided with another car spinning that could have been disastrous to track position. The ruling was that while the #18 car had spun but was still moving, another car had come to a stop at the other end of the track and a split yellow to the last place car sent the lineup reverting back to the last lap counted keeping the leader up front. A perfect storm of events that proved sometimes it is best to be lucky and good.
Travel plans have changed due to work requirements for team members this upcoming June 11th weekend. Previously the Shaylen Rae Motorsports group was heading to Chico for the Dave Bradway Memorial Race Friday night and the KWS Race Saturday at Southern Oregon Speedway in Medford, OR Saturday. Due to work commitments for some team members those plans now include staying up north and running the 360 Sprint at Skagit Speedway and possibly hot lapping the 410 as well.
The team is selling their 2011 season apparel this weekend with t-shirts, crew neck sweatshirts and hoodies. All apparel sales are from the team hauler or you can call Jerry Desrosier, Jr. at 425.263.6474 or Travis Jacobson at 425.754.5939 for advance orders to be picked up. Jerry is also reachable by email at firstname.lastname@example.com .
Shaylen Raye Motorsports wants to thank sponsors Shark Racing Engines, Shaffer Concrete, Wilson Concrete, Performance R/C, Anderson Pressure Washing, SignMart, TMM, Andgar Metals, Burlington Collision, Doyle Guffies Rallye Auto Sales, Heavy D and Barlow Escrow for all they do to make racing such an enjoyable experience.
If you are interested in joining the Shaylen Raye Motorsports team as a sponsor or marketing partner please call Mike Anderson at 360.661.1585. Driver Travis Jacobson is available for media interviews by calling 425.754.5939.
