STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) Authorities say a 61-year-old man died after his motorcycle hit a deer near Steamboat Springs.
Steamboat Today reports John G. Hill, a reserve police officer in Harris County, Texas, was riding on Colorado Highway 131 between Steamboat and Oak Creek when he hit the deer at around noon Saturday.
The Colorado State Patrol says he was pinned under his motorcycle in a watery ditch on the side of the road. Passersby pulled him from the water, but Hill died at a nearby hospital.
Steamboat Springs Police Sgt. Scott Middleton says Hill was an uncle of a Steamboat police officer. He was visiting his nephew, whose wife recently had a baby.

An attitude adjustment for e-mails, the ToneCheck plug-in for Microsoft Outlook scans outgoing e-mail messages and flags wording that could be interpreted as harsh, angry, or offensive. The software flags words like hell or damn, giving you the option to change the words or send the e-mail anyway. It also detects subtler forms of aggression. Start too many sentences with you, for example, and it flags the e-mail. ToneCheck performed well during our test, though it failed to detect sarcasm ("You really need to get a new job.") and alternative spellings of insults (for example, it flagged sad sack, but not sad-sack). The software is in free beta testing.

|A middle-aged lady with a pyogenic liver abscess caused by Clostridium perfringens.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22993668 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|The pyogenic liver abscess caused by Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) is a rare, but rapidly fatal infection. It is usually associated with malignancy and immunosuppression. We report the case of 50-year-old lady with the secondary liver metastases from rectal cancer presented with fever and epigastric pain. The identification of Gram-positive bacilli septicaemia, the presence of gas-forming liver abscess and massive intravascular hemolysis should lead to the suspicion of C. perfringens infection. Here we review twenty cases published since 1990 and their clinical features are discussed. The importance of "an aggressive treatment policy" with multidisciplinary team approach is emphasized.

Comcast Brings High-Speed Broadband to Underserved Commercial Areas In Nearly 100 Washington State Cities
"The Puget Sound region is widely known as a technology hub. However, there are many commercial areas that suffer from lack of 'last mile' access to high-speed Internet," said Matt Fassnacht, Vice President of Comcast Business for Washington. "This expansion will enable companies from all corners of the state to grow and expand, and attract economic investment."
Comcast Business's expansion includes building to businesses that have specifically requested Comcast's services as well as to expand fiber optic lines to areas to encourage future growth. Immediate plans include "proactive" builds in commercial areas of Bellevue, Kitsap County and Renton to offer high-speed broadband and fiber-based Ethernet services for local businesses of all sizes. Additional expansions will follow throughout 2014.
"We welcome this timely investment in Kitsap's communication infrastructure – the backbone of our growing knowledge based economy - it's like adding HOV lanes to Kitsap's already solid information highway," said John Powers, executive director of the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance. We know businesses need access to high-speed broadband in order to grow and prosper. This investment will help ensure we continue to have the critical infrastructure upgrades to attract new jobs and even more economic opportunities in Kitsap."
Comcast Business is targeting network expansions in small geographic areas that are underserved and could benefit from access to broadband. Construction is scheduled to start this fall and continue throughout 2014.
"Imagine expanding a two-lane highway to a six-lane highway so it carries more traffic at faster speeds," added Fassnacht. "This expansion will bring businesses greater transmission capacity at some of the fastest Internet speeds in the country."
About Comcast Business
Comcast Business, a unit of Comcast Cable, provides advanced communications solutions to help organizations of all sizes meet their business objectives. Through a modern, advanced network that is backed by 24/7 technical support, Comcast delivers Business Internet, TV and Voice services for cost-effective, simplified management.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Gov. Brian Sandoval remains bullish about Nevada's economic future and discounts banter about pending tax initiatives as premature and wrong for the state.
Sandoval says he doesn't believe in setting tax policy through the initiative process.
But at least one such initiative is coming, and backers say it stems from years of frustration with legislators failing to adequately fund education and other vital state services.
The most visible effort is being led by Nevada AFL-CIO leader Danny Thompson, who before the start of the 2011 legislative session warned he would take the tax battle to voters if lawmakers failed to act.
Thompson is following through with that promise. He said backers are fine-tuning language and expect to file it with the secretary of state's office soon.

How to Draw Meaningful Conclusions from Social Media Metrics
Stephen Monaco, guest post / Convince&Convert / September 15, 2013
The wealth of information available to social media marketing practitioners is staggering. Companies typically track "likes" and retweets, but they can also track things they rarely focus on: the qualified leads coming from social, a company's share of a conversation, and even the amount of revenue generated from an individual social marketing initiative.
While this scope of measurement is possible, companies don't often prioritize the measurements that truly reflect their success (or lack thereof). It's important to focus on the KPIs that matter to your company in the correctRead More
Google Analytics Visitor Segmentation: Users, Sequences, Cohorts!
Avinash Kaushik / Occam's Razor / September 9, 2013
My love for segmentation knows no bounds. Weather you do online, offline, nonline analysis, or just randomly playing with data, insights arrive faster with segmentation.
In fact I've gone so far as to say: "All data in aggregate is crap."
That's certainly a bit melodramatic, but beyond the most bare bones "ahh, I see something is happening" you are unable to get anywhere with aggregate data.
To assist your quest for faster, smarter insights, I've defined the Segmentation Selector Framework (Acquisition, Behavior, Outcomes), shared downloadableRead More
More Effective Data Solutions: Bridging CRM and Digital Marketing
Dana Hayes Jr. / ClickZ / September 9, 2013
Experienced marketers often wonder if the convergence of direct marketing and the digital world has been fully realized. We believe this inflection point has arrived and it will drive millions of customer relationship management (CRM) investments into the digital marketplace.
In the digital marketplace the targeting offerings are uneven, but the fundamental foundations exist. The good news is today's data science approach allows marketers to model audiences based on content, location, time of day, and device and then target on a more granular basis according to the marketer'sRead More
How a Breakthrough Information Strategy Helps Power BPM Sales Success
Metrostudy / August 27, 2013
A leading building product manufacturer wanted to move the customer conversation from price to value. Metrostudy delivered an enabling sales solution that elevates the company's sales representatives from vendors to trusted partners.
In the battle to claim their fair share of orders from a resurgent home construction industry, building product manufacturers (BPMs) are aggressively moving to lock-up relationships with contractors. As a substantial improvement to old school promotional tactics like discounts, rebates, co-op dollars and other sales incentives BPMs use
Is Marketing Testing the Missing Link in Your Plan?
Vince Giorgi / Hanley Wood Marketing / August 25, 2013
Take a minute and pull out your organization's marketing plan and budget. Now scan down to the line item labelled marketing testing.What's that? There is no line item for marketing testing?
That's what I was afraid of.
With absolutely no data to back it up, I'm going to venture a guess that testing marketing might be today's most underutilized tool for improving marketing.
I see and read quite a bit of research on what marketers are doing with their strategies and budgets. I can't remember a time when I've read how active marketers are, or how much of their budgets they spend,Read More

In my "How to Beat a Medium AI" guide I went through various steps and stages on how to use simple tactics to defeat medium level AI. It focused on using an adequate defense and teching up to overcome a computer's ability to amass stupidly sized armies. Defeating a medium AI was very much about a macro strategy. Defeating an insane AI (for now until they fix it) appears to be about maintaining a very micro managed agenda.
In this little guide I'll detail how you defeat insane AI using the three races. At the end of it you will more or less see why I think it is so cheesy.
Protoss (luckily) have to methods of defeating an insane level AI. The first was discovered in a 7 AI 1 player FFA where a human player spammed cannons and void rays and found out that as long as there were adequate cannons the AI would generally stay away from his base. Some crafty player decidedly applied this to all insane AI match ups and discovered the first way to beat insane AI, cannon rushing.
Yeah it's lame but it works. In regular cannon rushing strategies you place cannons out of line of sight of the player. However computer players send two harvesters around scouting, so when you are cannon rushing you should have your cannons start a little further back than you normally would. If you don't the computer will try and rush your probe with all of his harvesters and kill your pylon. Below is a replay of me cannon rushing a computer. In it I'm teamed with an insane AI computer who is generally useless.
The second method of defeating an insane AI is proxy rushing mass zealots. Similar to the cannon rush you create gateways nearby the enemies base and start pumping out zealots like a mad man. This is also known as a 'proxy rush.'
There is only one way to win as a terran, mass marines. You build several barracks near their base and just pump out marines like crazy. When the two of you have 4-5 marines each you rush in their with all guns blazing… but don't forget to continue to pump out more and more marines and have them link up with the platoon. These marines should mow down anything they run into. You may also want to do a little more microing. What I mean by microing is moving injured marines to the back and full healthed marines in the front.
This is going to be the hardest to accomplish or as my friend Typecast tells me "the easiest." You are going to need to pump out an early spawning pool. To do this you build one drone total and generate 200 crystal you need for your pool without building new drones. Once you have your pool going build some drones. When your spawning pool populates you want 150 crystal, 3 larvae and 3 supply. You immediately want 6 zerglings so that at the outset of the match you are storming south with 12 zerglings (two players combined). Your hatcheries need to continuously build zerglings/overlords and also a queen for larvae. It's an uphill battle but you need to wipe out one of the AI in your first rush. After that you need to tech up (you'll have stupid amounts of resources leftover) and finish off your last opponent with regular tactics (RUSH HIM WITH BROOD LORDS/ULTRALISKS!!!).
And that's it.
That's how you beat insane AIs, cheesy right? I'm not going to make this one of my official guides and will probably edit this one until it's fixed. I feel this is heavily exploited and I'll edit this when blizzard fixes it with some new tips on how to beat insane AI.

This self promotional business card by designer David Deasy is a really imaginative concept. It certainly wins me over with its simplistic, yet clever device that doesn't come off as gimmicky, segueing between "Ideas" and "Deasy." The die-cut mailer is a very nice way to keep the card in place until the handler removes it from the packaging. The blind debossing on the mailer is also a fine, subtle touch.
For my business card, I aimed to appeal to the senses with the touch-ability of letterpress, which is imperative since the user must interact with it to reveal the message, that great IDEAS and designer David DEASY are synonymous. A halftone image of myself is also used on the back of the card as an additional memory aid.
The card succeeds in promoting myself, as a designer who doesn't simply make things look pretty, but has the ideas to propel a message further in a memorable way.Considering my business card functions as a mini-self promo piece, I decided I needed a mailer to house it so I could send it to prospects directly. Also, it is simply a delight to watch a smile emerge on a persons face as they figure out how the card works with an "aha" moment.

To-Do List
These recommendations are intended to keep you on track for graduation. The sequenced list assumes that you began the MTPC program in fall semester and that you are taking or have taken 9 hours for each semester during your first year.
First Year, Fall and Spring Semesters
- Try to complete required courses (ENGL 7000, 7010, 7060, and 7080).
- If you are a graduate teaching assistant within the English department, you must complete 18 hours of coursework in English before fall semester of your second year. If not, you will lose your GTA.
- Begin thinking about elective courses in technical and professional communication, rhetoric and composition, or linguistics (9 hours) and a coordinated minor (9 hours in English or in another department).
- Begin thinking about an MTPC faculty member to act as chair of your advisory committee and two other English department faculty (at least one other MTPC) to serve as committee members. Be aware that your first choice may not be available, as professors sometimes take research leaves or may already have committed to chair or serve on their maximum number of advisory committees.
Second Year, Fall Semester
- Early in the of fall semester: Confirm faculty members to act as chair and members of your advisory committee.
- Gather documents for your portfolio.
- Complete your Plan of Study and submit it for approval through the Graduate School. The form is listed under Forms and Policies on the Graduate School website. The name is GSPOST for Students (Graduate Plan of Study).The Plan of Study must be approved by the day of graduation the semester before the student intends to graduate.
- Have your Graduation Check performed before the end of the semester and register for graduation. The form is listed under Forms and Policies on the Graduate School website. The name is GAAAP (Graduate Application and Approval Process). This form must be completed by the day of graduation the semester before you intend to graduate.
- Before the end of the semester: Meet with the chair of your advisory committee to discuss your portfolio and decide on the documents to be included, as well as your overall approach to the portfolio and presentation.
Second Year, Spring Semester
- Mid-January: Meet with the chair of your advisory committee to select possible date(s) for your portfolio presentation and oral exam. The date must be confirmed by the Director of Graduate Studies-MTPC and by all members of the advisory committee. Once that date is set, you and your committee chair must agree on deadlines for submitting the completed portfolio. When setting deadlines, keep in mind that (a) the chair will need two weeks to review the portfolio before asking for suggestions from the rest of the committee, and (b) the committee will need to receive the portfolio at least three weeks before the portfolio presentation and oral exam.
- As you work on your portfolio, please keep in mind the MTPC faculty's rubric for assessing the MTPC program. We ask that you use two or three keywords from this rubric (e.g., "theory: approaches," and "theory/research: document design") as keyword labels for your memo and each of your meta-analyses.
- Early February: Be sure that all incomplete grades are cleared.
- Early February (or before): Submit a complete draft of the portfolio to your advisory committee chair for review. Based on the chair's suggestions, revise the portfolio.
- At least 3 weeks before the scheduled oral presentation and exam: Submit the revised portfolio to the chair and the other members of the advisory committee. Establish a time to meet with the entire committee to discuss the portfolio and portfolio presentation and exam.
- At least 1 week before the scheduled oral presentation and exam: Meet with committee to receive further suggestions for revision and ask the committee to review the PowerPoint presentation. You must revise your portfolio according to the recommendations made by the chair and other members of the committee. You may also ask for guidance on how to prepare for oral exam questions.
- No later than early April: Present your portfolio and pass the oral exam.
- Immediately after your portfolio presentation and after passing your oral exam: Submit the website and PDF of your revised portfolio on CD-ROM to the chair of your advisory committee so that it can be archived. You will then receive a signed copy of Form 8, confirming that you have met the requirements for the MTPC, to take to the Graduate School. You cannot graduate without submitting Form 8. It must arrive at the Graduate School before April 15.

Ada Wong ftwRayman creator Michel Ancel has high praise for the Wii U – in particular, the console's main controller.
Ancel has been very impressed with the technology behind the GamePad. Not only does it offer "crazy" response time, but Ancel also says that it responds well thanks to very low latency – which comes in at only 1/60 of a second.
Below are Ancel's thoughts about the GamePad in full, which he provided while speaking with Nintendo Power this month:
"And I think this is where Nintendo is really out in front of things. The technology inside the controller is quite a bit more advanced than what people might think. It's really responsive. The response time is crazy, in fact, and I think the competitors will need some time to [get their solutions] this responsive.
"It's crazy because the game is running in full HD [on the television], we are streaming another picture on the GamePad screen, and it's still 60 frames per second. And the latency on the controller is just 1/60 of a second, so it's one frame late. It's crazy, it's so fast. It's almost instant. That's why it responds so well. So it can be used as a real game-design thing."

Re: Kirk and the Prime Directive.
I doubt Scott had the authority to break orbit without Kirk's orders.
The issue of whether the Enterprise crew brought Vaal's wrath upon themselves is an interesting angle. But when Kirk began fretting about his "orders" and how he should disregard them, it was Spock who reminded his captain of their mission to be there.
The Prime Directive wasn't brought up until much later in the hut. And you'll recall that Spock had misgivings that Starfleet Command would agree with Kirk's plans. This seemed to me to be a clear indication that the Federation did leave loopholes in that directive.
The Sigma Iotia incident ("A Piece of the Action") has also been brought up in this thread. Was Kirk wrong? Was the Federation wrong? I'd say in the "present tense" (TOS era), the answer was "no" to both questions. The episode strongly indicates two things: (1: the Starship Horizon's first contact with Sigma Iotia predated the Prime Directive being codified; and, possibly... (2: the Horizon could have herself been pre-Federation. IIRC, the Horizon was never referred to as a Federation starship. It could be that the Enterprise was dispatched to the planet only to take responsibility ("in for a penny, in for pound") for the Horizon's prior interference regardless of who actually sowed the seed.
A similar issue would be "The Return of the Archons". The Starship Archon was sent to Beta III a century before. We don't know what the Archon's mission was and we don't know what the crew of the Archon did at Beta III, but we can assume its mission was exploratory. Whatever the case, the Archon was obviously destroyed. Kirk was sent to investigate. Upon discovering that Beta III was a starship trap much like Eminiar VII, Kirk obviously had the authority to take action. Landru was a threat, and Kirk "took care of business".
None of this should be a surprise. TOS was, after all, a Cold War series and it reflected its times well. Does that make its conventions and philosophies disingenuous? I don't think so. You have to consider the philosophy behind the Prime Directive. Was it just meant to isolate non-aligned planets without question? Why would we assume that? If that were the case, the Federation wouldn't need manned starships to explore inhabited planets.
We don't know all the purposes and reasons behind the Prime Directive. We can readily assume that General Order One is meant to regulate the actions of exploring starship crews, but we can also assume that such regulation also protects the Federation from over-extending its resources. Beyond that, we don't know.

Re: Kirk and the Prime Directive.
"The Return of the Archons" (22) referred as Non-interference Directive to by Spock
"A Taste of Armageddon" (23) ignored to the point the Federation Ambassador insisted on beaming down
"Errand of Mercy" (27) We are about to go to war with the Klingons so we will ignore the Prime Directive for now.
"Friday's Child" (32) Pre-warp culture offered aid because the Klingons also want it. Prime Directive is not even referred to even though it should apply.
"The Apple" (38) Spock again refers to Non-interference Directive and Kirk uses same argument as in "The Return of the Archons"
"Bread and Circuses" (43) quoted at length
"A Private Little War" (45) referred to and then discarded due to interference by the Klingons
"A Piece of the Action" (49) - clean up a mess we made
"Patterns of Force" (52) We fix the mess made by John "Darwin Award Winner" Gill
"The Omega Glory" (54) Kirk's quote conflicts with his behavior in "A Taste of Armageddon"
"The Paradise Syndrome" (58) Neither Spock or Kirk make any reference to the Prime Directive though they should
"For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky" (65) Again the Prime Directive should come up but doesn't
"The Cloud Minders" (74) Prime Directive? We need that Zenite to stop a plague so forget that noise.

Re: Kirk and the Prime Directive.
There seems to be the suggestion that TOS' adherence to the Prime Directive was somehow disingenuous. Why should we accept that when we don't even know the full text (and context) of the directive and how it is supposed to be applied?
It should be obvious that the final judgement of how to apply the Prime Directive rests with three entities: Federation Starship captains, Starfleet Command, and the Federation leadership. That chain of command also reveals the accountability mechanism for Prime Directive.
But in TNG's "Justice", Picard pretty much spoke Roddenberry's overriding philosophy on laws in general and the Prime Directive in particular when the good captain said that "no laws are absolute... even life itself is an exercise in exceptions".

I was NOT happy with what the Prime Directive became in TNG (neither was sfdebris) and don't get me started on the even more totally messed up way it was used in Voyager.

Re: Kirk and the Prime Directive.
OXMYX [OC]: Hello, Captain. You're from the same outfit as the Horizon?
KIRK: Yes. Unfortunately, the Horizon was lost with all hands shortly after leaving your planet. We only received her radio report last month.
Thought to be fair TOS played very fast and loose with its past even when referencing the time period it supposedly occurred in. For example Squire of Gothos clearly sets Star Trek in the 28th century:
JAEGER: Notice the period, Captain. Nine hundred light years from Earth. It's what might be seen through a viewing scope if it were powerful enough.
TRELANE: Ah, yes. I've been looking in on the doings on your lively little Earth.
KIRK: Then you've been looking in on the doings nine hundred years past.
TRELANE: A matched set. Just like the pair that slew your heroic Alexander Hamilton. And Captain, I never miss. (For reference Alexander Hamilton was killed July 12, 1804)
These two statements taken together set this episode c2704. Can you oops they really goofed?

Re: Kirk and the Prime Directive.
I'm reminder of the old Epiphany Trek website, the last of it's seven point take on the Conundrum of the Prime Directive was "These rules are suspended for those that make war on us."
Yonada did fire missiles at the Enterprise. A act of war?
1) Life is sacred. Do what you can to preserve life while following the rest of these principles.
2) First, Do no harm. Examine you actions for potential harm, if acting is significantly worse than not acting, do not act.
3) Second, Allow no harm. This calls upon principle one. Life is more important than anything else. If preserving the life of a world will destroy that world's culture, preserve the life. The culture will rebuild. Sentients have been creating cultures for millions of years, and cultures have been dying out for as long. There is nothing sacred about a culture.
4) There are players (warp capable), and non-players (non-warp capable). Leave the non players alone. Yes, this principle is arbitrary. Like any set of rules, a line has to be drawn between one point and another, between the allowed and the unallowed. We choose to place this line at warp travel. Non-players must be left be to develop their own right ways. They do not need to have them delivered on duralloy tablets from the stars. Principles 1 and 3 can over ride this, but remember principle 2.
5) Our way is not the universal way. Don't shove it down anyone throat. This applies even to players. If someone asks us to let them be, and lets us be also, we will follow their wishes. Some sentients might need the protection and comfort of a totalitarian state. Others might thrive only under total anarchy. Do not judge others by our standard of decency, but by whether the culture is working for them. Someone out there may invent a superior social system we all might find better. They will not however if we give them ours.
6) Free will is paramount. If any Individual feels that their native culture is not working for them they may ask Starfleet for asylum, and they should be granted same. Don't be stupid. Those persons clearly criminal by both the standards of their own culture and the standards of ours cannot expect our protection. Any creature enslaved or oppressed can and should expect our help, even unto risk to ourselves.
7) These rules are suspended for those that make war on us. We will not make war on anyone that does not attack us first. If attacked we will seek peaceful resolution, but not beyond the point of reason. Then we will throw our full combined might against those that make war on us. Once the fighting is over we will seek reasons and resolutions.

Chenopodium album L.
Goosefoot, mealweed lamb's quarters
Names and Myths
Chenopodium Grk Chen goose, and pous foot, from the shape of the leaves.
album White
Natural history / Folklore
A half-cup of lamb's quarters provides three times the daily requirement of Vitamin A, and is also high in C and calcium.30 This plant is in the same family as spinach and has higher levels of protein, vitamins and minerals. The plant has been found in archeological diggings since the new stone age.32
A single plant can release 500,000 seeds45 which can remain in the soil bank for up to 40 years.34 The seeds may be crushed and used as flour, or gruel and crushed fresh roots are used as soap.35
When used as a chicken feed it produces dark yolked eggs and tender meat, it has been grown for both sheep and pig food. It is readily eaten, and lacks the bitter taste of many native plants, the result being that for human consumption it does not need to be double cooked.57 The high seed production and it's ability to grow well on manure heaps suggest that herbivory of the whole plant is not so much a threat, as a seed dispersal opportunity.
June to September. Flower small greenish white, 1-6 feet in height. Stalk can be mealy white-green. Grows in waste places and on cultivated ground, in manure heaps and around barnyards.57Leaves with a mealy texture. Purple blotches on the stems, dense clusters at the end of the leaves.

E. Glen Weyl '07
Assistant Professor of Economics, University of Chicago
Freshman Week I attended two departmental open houses: the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and physics. I was hesitating between my lifelong passion for public service and the love of theoretical physics I developed at the end of high school. Luckily, that fall I took statistics from Elie Tamer, who encouraged me to take a graduate class in economics, which he assured me was a perfect synthesis of my past interests, as well as being a longstanding interest of mine. Being an economics major who was truly passionate about the subject for its own sake was a bit of a lonely path at Princeton, where most of my fellow majors and even many of my professors saw the major as more instrumental to a career on Wall Street than to understanding the social problems I couldn't help being fascinated with.
One day during the summer between my sophomore and junior year closed my contract as an academic economist. I was working at a hedge fund in New York and after completing a model that formed the basis for a trading strategy, I asked the fund's principal what social role the trade I worked on served. After being told that such questions, which I could not help being preoccupied with, were not ours to ask at the firm, I sent an e-mail to the professor of my graduate economics class, José Scheinkman, who proceeded to take me out to dinner in New York. The most stimulating evening of conversation of my life to that point set me on the path that José, who became my mentor and one of my best friends, envisioned for me: rapid progress through my graduate work to the life of an academic economist.
Exploring new perspectives
Yet before fully orienting my academic attention to detailed economic theory, graduation and a desire to understand more fully the fascinating discussions I had with my classmates of diverse interests required me to sample more broadly from what Princeton had to offer. Given that this might be my only chance to see the inner workings of disciplines my future colleagues in other fields would be socialized in, it seemed like a wasted opportunity to simply take an introductory survey course. My resulting attempt to throw myself into the main flow of other academic areas has shaped the academic and extra-academic work I have done since.
Through the dedicated and selfless mentorship of so many professors who have become lasting friends, I developed a passion for philosophy, the history of the Jews and of economic thought, art, mathematics, and computer science. In the end, I realized that contrary to most external expectations, majoring in economics at Princeton can be an intense and broadening intellectual experience.
Having completed my class requirements for graduate school, I decided to stay at Princeton for my graduate work. However, in order to learn other perspectives and explore the world, I spent most of my year at graduate school visiting at the University of Chicago and the Toulouse School of Economics. This was the beginning of one of the most invigorating parts of my academic career: the ability to travel all over the world to engage in constructive dialogue with colleagues. My work has taken me to almost a hundred different academic, government, and private institutions on four continents.
Crossing continents and disciplines
After earning my Ph.D. from Princeton, I began a fellowship at the Harvard Society of Fellows that broadened my perspective further. The society is a collection of postdoctoral students from all fields of the humanities and sciences, both natural and social, who have three years to pursue their own research while sharing one another's company at dinner and lunch three times a week.
My time at Harvard has proved rewarding in ways I could never have imagined. Conversations over the dinner table with two biology colleagues became lab meetings and eventually brought me to the Peruvian Amazon basin to run experiments on ant-plant mutualisms suggested by economic models. My closest collaborator has become a string theorist-turned-economist from the Society of Fellows whose dissertation in the Harvard economics department I am helping to advise. With the guidance of my colleagues and the assistance of a number of undergraduates at Harvard, I have published my work in the philosophy and history of economics, while simultaneously developing my more classically economic interests in price theory and antitrust policy.
Last year, when I gave a job talk at the London School of Economics, I spent one day with the philosophy group, one day with the economics and management group, and one day with the competition authorities of the United Kingdom government. My week thus spanned the full range from philosophical abstraction to practical policymaking. Yet all these disparate parts fit a unified whole: While talking to the philosophers I used my policy work to illustrate my arguments in the philosophy of science, and while talking to the government I drew on my philosophical principles to guide the development of a framework for merger review. My work at each part of the spectrum improves the quality of my thinking at all of these others.
I hope to continue this integration of a humanistic approach into economics as I start my new job this fall as an assistant professor of economics at the University of Chicago, where I also plan to be the first economist in many years on the Committee on Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science. This integrative approach was made possible by the true liberal arts education I found as an economics major at Princeton and by the rich nourishment the Society of Fellows has supplied to those roots.

What is the market's typical reaction to very strong corporate earnings? That seems like an awfully obvious question, but the answer may surprise you.
It is counter intuitive, but true: The market does not perform at its very best when year over year earnings are accelerating the most. The best period for equities as a whole is when quarterly earnings are falling, albeit at a modest rate. That determination is the result of research covering 8 decades, first performed by Martin Zweig, and subsequently confirmed by Ned Davis Research. (See chart)
There are several possible rationales for why this is: The first is that when corporate earnings are growing at a level greater than 20%, the possibility of inflation and interest rate increases are much greater. Since equity markets tend to under perform in a rising rate environment, it makes sense that a period of very strong earnings is unlikely to produce market out performance. Indeed, an earnings period of top 20% year over year gains are more like to have been preceded by a strong rally than followed.
Another possible explanation is that the markets bottom while earnings are in the middle of the process of decelerating to accelerating. As earnings shift from bad to good is the sweetest spot of the economic cycle, from a market perspective.
Lastly, since the equities markets act as a future discounting mechanism, a very fast pace of earnings growth is typically already "baked into the cake."
Which brings us to the present situation: According to First Call, "4Q03 earnings for the S&P500 continue to appear headed for growth that will be close to 28%. While that is the best since 3Q93, it will represent the peak earnings growth for this business cycle." These numbers are based upon over 80% of the S&P500 companies already having reporting Q4 2003 earnings.
This does not mean that the rally is over, or that a major correction is imminent. Rather, what it suggests is that the "easy money" has already been made, and that the subsequent upside is more likely to be moderate than the torrid.
The major trend remains upwards, but the present minor correction has not yet fully run its course. A prudent approach would be to moderate your expectations for equity gains over the next few quarters.

Purdue guard Anthony Johnson sits in front of the scoreboard during an 86-83 loss to Santa Clara in a College Basketball Invitational game, his final one for the Boilermakers.

Purdue redshirt sophomore guard Anthony Johnson confirmed Monday night that he has asked for and been granted a release from his basketball scholarship.
The Chicago native started seven of the season's first eight games but struggled beginning in mid-December, finishing the season averaging 4.9 points and 2.9 rebounds. He shot 36.2 percent from the field, including 20.9 percent from 3-point range. Johnson had 40 assists and 35 turnovers.

Of course, this leaves the table wide open for wild speculation. TechCrunch says, according to anonymous sources, that Zynga approached PopCap with the intention to purchase, but backed down after PopCap named its price. The website has also heard that EA could be the lucky shopper, but $1 billion is a far cry from the $400 million it paid for Playfish in 2009. That all being said, a source close to the matter tells us there's currently no internal information on the sale.
But let's play devil's advocated for a moment. Why would PopCap suddenly sell when it has openly stated its intent on filing for initial public offering (IPO) by the end of this year? I'd imagine that since this is, in fact, the case, PopCap would ask for far more than $1 billion, and any more than that would just be ridiculous. An IPO that low these days just sounds silly, especially for a company that has been around for over 10 years. (For reference, the Pandora Internet radio service just filed for a $2.4 billion IPO, and it's only been around since about 2005.)
Furthermore, the company just purchased ZipZapPlay with the goal of increasing its presence on Facebook--that doesn't sound like a move a company that's ready to sell would make. Simply put, PopCap just doesn't seem like the type to sell, but we could easily be proven otherwise. Rumors or not, this summer will prove mighty interesting for PopCap--even if there's no Peggle for Facebook.

Almost completely ignored by the national media (eg. CNN's big headline on May 3 was — and I cringe — "Catastrophic" Flood Being Ignored?, which was just an iReport), the flood destroyed thousands of homes and killed at least 34 people.
This is a first-hand account, posted on "Confessions of a CyberCasualty":
The rain came on May Day without mercy, drenching Middle Tennessee for nearly two days. The downpour finally let up on Sunday — May 2 — immediately drawing disaster-tourists with cameras in hand.

Conduct Hearing
A conduct hearing is an information-gathering meeting. OSC most likely received your name from a police report; incident report from the residence halls; or a report was forwarded to us from a faculty member, staff member, or another student.
Students receive an e-mail, via their university e-mail address, notifying them of a meeting. If students have failed to attend their hearing or make contact with the office to reschedule the hearing, the conduct administrator can hear the case without the student being present. Conduct administrators would far prefer to have students present to discuss the incident, and as such this format is only used when students neglect to attend.

From mum's garage to Europe: Hull firm CRK Engineering set to turnover £1m
Posted: August 14, 2014|
A HULL businessman who started his own company from his mother's garage is set to turnover £1m this year. Craig Kemp, 28, set up his firm CRK Engineering just over three years ago, but now employs 14 staff at a 4,000sq ft industrial unit in Sutton Fields.
After finishing his apprenticeship at KayGee Engineering in Hull, Mr Kemp worked for a number of different businesses in the region.
In 2011, Mr Kemp decided to branch out on his own and set up CRK.
The company has since grown rapidly through word-of-mouth recommendations.
Related content
Mr Kemp said: "It was very daunting when I first set up the company – I didn't have a clue what I was doing.
"We started off doing small jobs for some large local firms and it just grew from there.
"The company has grown a lot quicker than I thought it would, but we have managed to cope.
"We receive a lot of recommendations from other firms, so we're never short of work."
CRK Engineering employs a skilled team of specialist welders, mechanical engineers, machinists and designers, who work primarily in the food, pharmaceutical and recycling industries.
Some of the company's top clients include major food producers Cranswick and Greencore Group.
Mr Kemp is passionate about training a new generation of engineers and he has worked closely with Prospect Training to find the right apprentices for the company.
He said: "We have four apprentices on the staff at the moment and it was always very important for us to employ people that we can offer training to.
"Without apprentices, the industry wouldn't have a future."
Although Mr Kemp said loves being his own boss he admits it was a challenge to start his own company from scratch.
"I would really recommend it to other young people who are starting out, but I would warn people that you have to make a lot of sacrifices," he said.
"It is very hard – I haven't had a day off or a holiday in three years, but things are starting to get to the stage now where I'll be able to take some time off."
Looking to the future, Mr Kemp plans to expand the business overseas and he is already advertising for more staff.
He said: "About 70 per cent of our customers are based in Hull but we have others across the UK in Crewe, Northern Ireland and Wales.
"After only three years we are already a national company, so Europe is definitely the next step."

Fire broke out at Providence Living Center twice Saturday. Topeka Firefighters responded to the first fire just before 9:00. The fire was small and damage is estimated at $500.
Around 2:30 a second fire broke out. This one was located in the common area in the south basement of the facility. The fire caused the sprinkler system to go off.
According to the center's Chief Operating Officer Frank Trimboli, the staff swiftly evacuated the residents. Blowing fans were used to get the smoke out of the building. The fire caused $7,000 in damage.
Noone was displaced by either fire and both remain under investigation to determine the causes.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Republican U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran calls it "unfortunate" and "sort of bizarre" that someone photographed his ailing wife in a nursing home and posted her image online in a political video against him.
Cochran spoke to reporters Friday outside a campaign event in Jackson.
WAPT-TV reports Cochran says he trusts authorities who are investigating the incident. He says people at the nursing home are worried about their reputation, but he thinks "everybody is trying to do the right thing."
A conservative blogger and three others are charged in what police call a conspiracy to take unauthorized photos of 72-year-old Rose Cochran, who has dementia.
State Sen. Chris McDaniel is challenging Cochran in the June 3 Republican primary.
McDaniel says his campaign had nothing to do with the photos.

[Video] Can We Also Celebrate Daughters in India?

Video Volunteers Community Correspondent Gayatri [1] documents in a video [2] one obscure ritual of India, the 'Saptami Beti', where women celebrate having a son. She comments:
It is important to talk about this. I want to show this video in all the areas where 'Saptami' is celebrated. People give it so much importance even though it is a rather strange celebration. Why don't they celebrate their daughters who keep their houses running, the cattle fed and the water tanks filled? Why just their sons? The tradition and rationality behind it are so deeply carved into people… but we can change it.

We're professionals from different backgrounds: one a Democrat and education reformer, the other a Republican comptroller of public accounts for Texas. We may not agree on everything, but we are coming together around two common beliefs.
We both believe that nothing is more important to America's economic future than a world-class public education system. We also believe that limited education dollars should be invested in proven programs that benefit kids, not in unnecessary administration, overhead or red tape.

We are always learning.
A strong unique skill set is important, but working within a team and pushing one another to excel every day is what really drives us.
We are playful.
Some of us are funny. Some of us are "a bit weird." But weird in a likeable, quirky way, not in a creepy way. We love Lego, Play-doh and crayons.
We are economical.
We recycle. We compost. We turn off the lights. We know how to manage tight budgets and even tighter deadlines and still produce projects that are beyond expectations.
We kick it as a band-there are no divas.
We'd have starved as solo singer/songwriters, but together we rock the standing-room-only, stadium-packed house. What we're trying to say is, we work as a team here. Just like design and technology can't survive without each other in the digital space, we wouldn't be where we are without the people that work here.
We trust you.
That's how we start a relationship. Once you see us in action, we think you'll quickly trust us right back.
We find joy in what we do.
We're having fun and maybe showing off a little.

Saudi Arabia is now more dangerous than it was prior to 2011.
Before 2011, Saudi support for radical groups was given in coordination with its Western allies, especially the U.S. That coordination was terminated when the U.S. cancelled its ill-advised plans to bomb Syria and when President Obama made the historical phone call to President Rouhani.

Interesting Facts
The Polynesian Maori reached New Zealand in about A.D. 800. In 1840, their chieftains entered into a compact with Britain, the Treaty of Waitangi, in which they ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria while retaining territorial rights. In that same year, the British began the first organized colonial settlement. A series of land wars between 1843 and 1872 ended with the defeat of the native peoples. The British colony of New Zealand became an independent dominion in 1907 and supported the UK militarily in both World Wars. New Zealand's full participation in a number of defense alliances lapsed by the 1980s. In recent years, the government has sought to address longstanding Maori grievances.
