Google, donde esta Murrieta, Calif.?
Up until a few days ago, most of us probably had never heard of Murrieta. Until the fireworks started.
Not the fireworks that celebrated freedom on Friday, but the angry shouting matches between pro-immigrant and anti-immigrant forces.
Murrieta is a small Southern California city about an hour's drive from San Diego. The city of 105,000 seems like a nice place, a slice of paradise.
Last Tuesday, Murrieta became a flashpoint for the endless national immigration debate when flag-waving, shouting anti-immigrant protestors blocked three buses headed to a U.S. Border Patrol detention center. The buses were loaded with mostly women and children, part of the mass influx of undocumented Central American immigrants into South Texas. (Did you see anyone blocking the immigrants coming to El Paso?)
One angry protester spat on Lupillo Rivera, an internationally-recognized ranchera singer and the brother of the late megastar Jenni Rivera.
Some angry protesters even urged Rivera to go back where he came from. Rivera, a Mexican national and naturalized U.S. citizen, didn't have far to go. He lives in Murrieta.
Responding to unflattering national news coverage, Murrieta City Manager Rick Dudley, urged greater civility from the anti-immigrant protestors. He told the Los Angeles Times: "It made this extremely compassionate community look heartless and uncaring. That is not the Murrieta that we all know and love."
With all due respect Mr. City Manager, how "American" is it to spit on someone simply because you oppose their point of view?"
By the way, Murrieta was named after an immigrant from Spain who bought a lot of land in the area in 1873, not to build luxury condos, but to raise sheep.
Speaking of immigrants, El Paso is mourning the death a few days ago of Holocaust survivor Henry Kellen, founder of the El Paso Holocaust Museum and Study Center.
I never socialized with Kellen or talked with him that much except for a handful of times when I interviewed him. It didn't take long for anyone who ever met Kellen to conclude that he was a good and honest man who believed in human dignity.
He spent the late years of his life speaking out against intolerance. He used to say that "each of us can make a difference, and together, we can make the world a better place."
One time, while referring to the countless Christians and others who helped Jews during World War II, he wrote: "Yet, in every darkness there is light. In the midst of the worst evil in recorded history, there were people who had the courage to care to make a difference."
Kellen once invited me to his house to share a meal and chat, he said. In the midst of work deadlines and other obligations, I neglected to make time to get together with him, a decision that I still regret.
Henry Kellen is gone. And we are all a bit poorer, deprived of the wisdom and generosity of a great man.

Frankfort head coach Craig Foley has said from the very beginning that not just one player will be the star of the game.
His statement rang true when three different players scored touchdowns to give the Panthers (1-0) their first win of the season over Newport (0-1) at Sower Field on Friday night.
While senior receiver Aaron Jackson, an athlete who has college recruiters watching closely, wasn't one of those names, Foley said he harbors no doubts about his potential.
"He wasn't shut down, he just had a bad night," Foley said. "You know he had a chance to make some plays and things didn't work out like we needed them to. We had other kids step up. That's been our thing all year long. It isn't going to be one kid that has success for us, it is going to be two or three."
The team effort began with 4:09 left in the first quarter when Frankfort pinned the Wildcats on their own 6-yard line, forcing them to punt on fourth-and-19 and scoring a safety on a blocked punt.
"It was good to get some points on the board quick," Foley said. "I would have much rather recovered it in the end zone for the touchdown, but we'll take two. I think it had us moving in the right direction."
The right direction continued back to back for the Panthers when sophomore Jalen Washington returned the kickoff for a touchdown, making the Frankfort lead 8-0. The Panthers attempted a two-point conversion, but Jackson dropped the pass.
Newport answered back on its next possession with 2:34 left in the first by scoring on a 39-yard pass from JaShawn Short to Robert Sharp. The Wildcats' two-point conversion also failed with a quarterback sneak. The score remained 8-6 in Frankfort's favor.
Frankfort wasted no time on its next possession. On second-and-10, senior quarterback Chris Hawkins pitched the ball to Jalen Washington for an 18-yard touchdown with 10:25 remaining in the second quarter. Hawkins then handed the ball off to junior J.J. Jones for a successful two-point conversion. The Panthers led 16-6.
"We're expecting big things from Jalen," Foley said. "There's no secret about that and everyone else now knows that. People are now going to focus on him, so now someone else is going to have to step up."
After halftime the Wildcats worked to get points on the board on their first possession. With a two-yard run, a holding penalty against Newport and an incompleted pass, the team settled for a field goal with 8:56 left in the third. The Wildcats cut Frankfort's lead to 16-9.
Neither team was able to score on their next two possessions, but on the Panthers' third, a handoff to senior Teantre McGee resulted in a 30-yard touchdown with 31 seconds remaining in the third quarter. The two-point conversion, a pass to Jalen Washington, was unsuccessful making the score 22-9.
It was a touchdown that impressed his head coach.
"He has been one of those kids that has been playing a lot of defense," Foley said. "Offensively it has been kind of a struggle. He wasn't quite sure where to line up. He's a kid that just makes things happen. Sometimes he is going to run backwards and you're like, 'Oh my gosh,' but then something is going to come out of it. We've got to take the good with the bad and just go with it."
Along with the Panthers' explosive offense came a solid defense. On Newport's next drive, senior Trevon Washington sacked its quarterback on third down and seven. On fourth-and-28, Frankfort delivered again with a blocked punt and took over at the Wildcats' 28-yard line.
"Our defense has been our rock in the last couple years," Foley said. "We're not big in stature, but we get after people."
With a short field and 9:42 left in the game, Frankfort's Hawkins connected with sophomore Chris Brooks for a 9-yard gain. On second down and one to go, Jalen Washington ran in for the score. The two-point conversion was good, giving Frankfort a 30-9 lead.
"That's what we've been working on in practice, for me to play to the slot and get open, and to make some big plays for us. I think I did good at it," Jalen Washington said.
The Wildcats were unable to convert on their next two possessions and Frankfort ran out the clock for the win.
Although pleased with a win, Foley said the work will start again on Monday.
"Good win to start," he said. "We played sloppy and did some silly things, but it was a win.
"We didn't block real well on the line of scrimmage with some zone plays. Our pass blocking was excellent. The guys did a great job up front. The backs put the ball on the ground too much early. We've got to catch the ball at the wide receiver position. We dropped two or three balls there. We've got to tackle."
Foley hopes the Panthers will improve and learn to stop the run before playing at Rockcastle this Friday night.
"They are going to line up and run smash-mouth football right at us," he said. "We've got to be prepared to stop the line. That has been our Achilles heel in the 10 years that I have been here."

I immediately came home and grounded my son from his phone, iPod, t.v. and any other electronics and I spanked him.
Do you think I should gave offered to pay half of the bill? My son said it was Ds idea and he didn't want D to not sleep over. (I know M is not as innocent as I would like him to be.)
You are a great mom for having a phone with no Internet !!! My 13 year old doesn't have internet on his phone for exactly this reason!
My son doesn't even have picture messaging, as kids at school were circulating pics of their body parts .....
It's hard to raise a morally conscious child these days...
Keep on keeping on mama!
My boys have inexpensive phones with Internet access blocked, no picture texting and no Facebook accounts, or access to computers without supervision. They basically can call/text and that's all they need to do. I believe giving them an iPhone is like putting a loaded fun in their hands, open opportunity and curiosity isn't nessecerily a great combo!
NO, I wouldn't pay half either. It happened on her watch, on her son's phone. Its not your fault that she is too stupid to properly supervise her child's internet access. Think about how much porn they had to view to rack up $150 worth. It isn't like they watched for just 5 minutes while she was occupied. KWIM?
your discipline for your son was enough, it's her fault for giving her 11yo an iPhone. If she can afford his data plan and such, she can afford the $150 overcharge. She should have warned him also of going past the limit, and if she did, then D should work for it.

on development computer on windows xp i have installed
1)java(jdk1.5.0/jre) on .
where JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0
2) eclipse3.0 IDE.
i have created java project on developer m/c..
created some java class under some package in this java project.
Now for compile and run java program i have to include some jar file which lies on linux server. i have successfuly included jar file and my compilation is through.
while running the program from development computer, i am getting error...
Exception in thread "main"
: no libdb_java43 in java.library.path
Actually libdb_java43 is shared library...and Berkeley db documentation say that ,you have to include this shared library where you run your program..
I have confusion that where my program is running...
It is on windows or on linux.......?
because on both(windows/linux) computer i have installed java.
my aim is to run the java program on linux server and i am giving the Run java program command from my windows computer.
how i set the class path or some other setting to fulfil my requirement.
what is the setting on windows and linux server...

Looks like you will need that db jar in your classpath on any computer you run on. It will perform best if you copy it onto the local disk. On Windows machines I often make batch files like this:
set classpath=%classpath%;d:/path/some.jar set classpath=%classpath%;d:/path/other.jar java etc ...
You can use the -cp argument instead. I'll trust you know how to do similar things on Linux. Let us know if that helps.
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

Thanks stan james for replay...
but this is client/server application. I have to run this program on linux server by giving command for run the java program from windows m/c.
i.e. my aim is to run the program on server, give run command from windows m/c for that reason i have given details of JAVA_HOME on both plateform.
i am understanding that, i have to set the PATH, CLASSPATH variable which link the linux server....but how and where to set this..(on windows or linux)?

Personally, I wouldn't consider this a "beginner" question even if you consider yourself a newbie. Mostly this is because I consider myself an intermediate Java programmer and I still have no idea how to answer your question. You should consider posting this to at least the
intermediate forum
, and personally, I think it would be more suited for the
forum. Better yet, we also have forums on
Distributed Java
Sockets and Internet Protocols
, and
. This would probably be more on-topic in one of these more specific forums. If none of these fit what you are doing, then check out the
for other message boards that are available.

This does look more advance for beginners, so I'll move this to the intermediate forum.
I think that the real question here is how are you planning on accessing the database? Is the client going to have direct access to the database, or is it just the sever? If its just the server, then you can add the .so to the PATH and everything should work (the JVM loads shared libraries from the path, not the CLASSPATH).
If the client is going to have direct access to the database (and not send all requests to the server) then you will have to find a .dll for the db and add that to the PATH on the client (which, depending on who the client is, you may not be able to do! Will you have control over how the clients are set up?)
You may want to consider other databases, such as MySQL and/or HSQL, which have pure Java drivers.
(If the .so is not for the driver but rather for the database itself, then there should be no problem; the client doesn't run the database! ...unless you're using HSQL...)
Anyway, I think that we don't quite have enough information to answer this question adequately. Poke through my answers and see if you can provide a bit more information to help us get in the right direction.

That diesel fuel spilled from a freighter over the weekend is threatening a $1.7 million habitat restoration project along the shore of Pensacola Bay.
Work continues to clean about 2,000 gallons of diesel spilled from the Bahamas-flagged Alchiba at Pensacola's port over the weekend. Crews hired by V- Ships, which manages the 499-foot vessel, are handling the cleanup.
Containment booms have kept much of the fuel out of the open bay. But some has reached the Project Greenshores restoration area within a mile of the port. A Florida Department of Environmental Protection spokesman says "the wind and current couldn't have been worse."
Greenshores is funded by grant money and corporate sponsors. It's an attempt to restore acres of salt marshes, oyster beds and other natural habitat. About 50,000 seagrass plants and 16 tons of oysters, which filter the water, have been planted in shallow water along the shore.

Job & Grad School Interviews
A job interview is an evaluation of a prospective student or employee. This is the single most important element in job hunting. Without coming across successfully in an interview a candidate may never get a position. The résumé is what gets you an interview, the interview gets you the job!
The following tips have been provided for you in order to help you succeed at the interview:
- DO your research! Know everything you can about the employer and everyone that will interview you! Use the web and personal contacts to discover what you can about your potential employer. Remember – you are interviewing them as well!
- Conduct a Practice Interview…or three! Even professional ball players still practice and professional actors and dancers rehearse. The more you practice, the more you will feel confident during the interview.
- Be on time! Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the interview begins. Perform a test drive to the location if possible to determine the directions, traffic and time allotted to arrive there early.
- Dress for the Interview! Even if you will not wear a suit to work every day, it shows respect and that you are serious and prepared!
- Be pleasant and courteous when checking-in with the receptionist or anyone you meet! Why? They will most likely give feedback to the manager on what they thought of you once you have left the building.
- Smile! Greet everyone, women included, with a firm handshake – no dead fish handshakes nor do you want to crush their hand. Never chew gum and Sit up straight.
- Address the managers as Mr. or Ms. unless they ask you to call them by their first name.
- Do not sit until you are invited to sit, it shows respect for the manager's territory.
- Distract yourself by reviewing your résumé if the telephone rings.
- Do not be "all ears." You must ask questions and show your knowledge about the organization.
- Do not touch your face. It can mean that you are trying to hide.
- Do not tap your fingers, swing your foot, etc. It implies you are being threatened or are nervous.
- Do not argue about anything, even a sport.
- Be ready to answer all the possible questions given here. You should also have questions prepared for the interview.
Check your knowledge about an interview by taking the following quizzes:
**Remember: YOUR ATTITUDE separates winners from losers! Someone who is enthusiastic, motivated, and is excited to start to work will most likely obtain the job. Make sure you make good eye contact, ask questions, and show that you are not afraid to say that you really want that job.

That is a long flight even for me and im an adult. I'm sure the hotel would know of daycare services if it's too hard to bring the kid to matches.

Advances in medicine mean that recommendations for treatment have changed over the last ten years. But the referral process – from a patient's first concerns to an appointment with a specialist who can make a detailed diagnosis – has altered very little.
There's a great deal of variation in the way GPs make referrals. We think few patients would query a GP's recommendation. In fact, most GPs (62%) believed they were completely in control of the referral process.
Given the emphasis on transparency in recent years, a surprisingly low number of GPs (15%) believed their patients were the decision-makers at the point of referral. However, as part of the Competition Commission's investigation into the supply and acquisition of private healthcare services in this country, the referral process is undergoing close scrutiny.
We asked GPs to think about private referrals, and tell us which conditions proved to be most challenging. As with last year's survey, GPs told us that they were still struggling to refer patients on for more specialist insights to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).
Over a period of ten years, these are still the number one conditions that GPs find most challenging to refer on for specialist attention – but the most alarming fact here, is these are the two conditions that GPS most expect the NHS to stop covering in the next five years. These are still in the top ten conditions GPs are seeing on the increase, but 42% of GPs thought the NHS would no longer provide services for ME and CFS by 2015.

Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show postponed
• Analysis: Outdoor show flattened by politics
• Hunters, shooters weigh in on show postponement
• Reed Exhibitions announces delay
• Competing gun rallies planned outside Pa. Capitol
• As boycott grows, vendor calls sports show restrictions 'extremely radical'
• List of vendors, personalities boycotting Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show
As the list of vendors that announced they won't take part in the Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show grows, some potential event-goers remain on the fence about whether they will attend it or not.
"I'm still thinking about going," said Ethan Crowder of New Freedom.
Event organizer Reed Exhibitions imposed a ban on displaying and selling assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines at what is billed as Pennsylvania's largest outdoor sports show next month in Harrisburg.
"Maybe their being tolerant of some people's views means they are being intolerant of others' views," Nolan Crowder, Ethan Crowder's brother, said of the ban.
The ban followed the deadly Connecticut elementary school shooting that has prompted an ongoing gun control debate in Washington.
The event's website says officials "strongly support the 2nd Amendment" but decided negative attention on such weapons "would distract from the strong focus on hunting and fishing at this family-oriented event and possibly disrupt the broader positive experience of our guests."
Boycott: Some outdoors enthusiasts and vendors are boycotting the show because of the ban on certain guns and the high-capacity magazines.
Fairview Township-based Atlantic Tactical was to take part in the show for the first time this year but withdrew after organizers announced the ban, said Sean Conville, company president.
"It was a decision we were going to make on principle," he said.
While attending a gun and outdoors show in Nevada about a week ago, Conville said he first learned of the ban at the Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show.
The Shoot Show in Las Vegas was also put on by Reed Exhibitions and featured a number of law enforcement products and other guns.
Conville said his company attempted to contact Reed Exhibitions about the ban at Harrisburg but didn't receive replies to phone messages and emails. Ultimately, Conville opted to pull out of the show.
"We feel that their (Reed Exhibitions') decision was a knee-jerk reaction to the current atmosphere surrounding guns," he said.
Support: While everyone is entitled to his own opinion, Conville called Reed Exhibition's decision to ban the particular guns and magazines "extremely radical." But a lot of people appear to agree with that sentiment.
Atlantic Tactical announced on its Facebook page that it was withdrawing from the show, prompting nearly 800 people to "like" and more than 150 people to comment, nearly all of whom showed support, on the announcement.
The company has also received a number of phone calls and emails from those who support the decision, Conville said.
"We are surprised to see that level of articulated support," he said.
Despite a number of people and vendors that are backing the boycott, Nolan Crowder said he's not so sure if that is the way to show disdain for the show's ban.
"I don't know if that's the way to make your voices heard," he said.

Vermont State Police say snowy roads helped cause a Dunkin' Donuts delivery van to crash off Vermont 100 in Plymouth early Sunday.
Thomas Puma, 55, of North Clarendon said he lost control of his 2011 Ford utility van and crashed off the highway about 3 a.m., state police said.
Senior Trooper Stacy Corliss said the van crashed through a guardrail and into a pond. The van was partially submerged in the water, but Puma escaped injury, Corliss said.
It was snowing at the time and the road was snow covered when the van crashed, Corliss said. She said it was towed from the scene.

If you're having some financial troubles and considering bankruptcy, there are a lot of things you need to take into consideration. Simply filing bankruptcy and then trying to start over can be a long, excruciating process — but it can be done. Try talking to each individual creditor in order to settle accounts, so you don't have to go through bankruptcy. Most importantly, you should be aware of all of the pros and cons of bankruptcy before you take any action. Here is a short list of some of the pros and cons of filing for bankruptcy:
Pro – Instant Relief
One of the major benefits of filing for bankruptcy is the instant relief you get from not having to answer annoying phone calls from creditors. You undoubtedly know you owe the money, but you don't have it or you would have already paid, so receiving call after call can become tedious. As soon as the court accepts your bankruptcy, the calls should stop as well as other attempts by creditors to collect. Any attempt to contact you should come through an attorney.
Con – Debt Is Still There
The downside to instant relief is that although the court now says your bankruptcy is valid, the debt remains. While it's true the creditors must stop their collection calls, in many cases you will still have to go through certain procedures to actually eliminate the debt. In addition, you will lose all your credit cards, and you may have to part with some personal items that aren't deemed to be essential to your survival, such as jewelry, artwork, a boat or a snowmobile.
Pro – Some Debt Goes Away
In some cases, filing for bankruptcy will make your debt simply go away. How much debt is eliminated will depend to a great extent on which form of bankruptcy you've filed. In some cases, it can be done away with completely, while other forms of bankruptcy require a partial debt settlement. With a Chapter 7 bankruptcy you can potentially get rid of a lot of your debt; while Chapter 13 requires a reorganization of debt.
Con – You May Have to Give Something Up
A major downside to filing for bankruptcy is the fact that although your debt may go away, you will most likely have to give up a great many of your personal possessions that aren't necessary in order to live day-to-day. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy will not eliminate all debt; you will still be required to pay some of it.
Pro – Exemptions May Be Available
In most states, it's possible that some of your property can be protected from creditors. Even if you file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7, you may be able to hang onto your car or home.
Con – No Mortgage for Years
Although you may be shielded from your home being taken away, it will most likely be years before you'll be able to qualify for a mortgage. Usually having a bankruptcy in your background will require a long wait — up to 10 years — before you'll be able to qualify for a low-interest home loan.
Pro – A Fresh Start
Filing for bankruptcy will allow you to start rebuilding your life now. The sooner you begin, the faster you'll be able to resume the lifestyle you're used to. The quicker you can reestablish a good credit rating, the sooner you'll be able borrow money at lower interest rates.
Con – High Interest Rates
Recovering from a bankruptcy is possible, but you will have to pay for it. Most people who attempt to reestablish credit after a bankruptcy will try and take out a loan. By paying the loan back on time, according to whatever the terms are, their credit rating will go up. Unfortunately, loans of this type carry extremely high interest rates, which is the price you have to pay for filing bankruptcy.
Pro – You Can Rebuild Your Credit
You can begin to rebuild your credit rating after a bankruptcy by establishing and maintaining good credit. Although it will be difficult, if not impossible, to qualify for a credit card from one of the major credit card companies, there is a way you can do it. By approaching your bank or credit union and depositing a few hundred dollars in a secured account, you may be allowed to obtain a secured credit card. You will only be allowed a credit limit equal to the amount in the account, similar to a debit card, but unlike a debit card a secured credit card will help reestablish your credit.
Reestablishing a good credit rating is possible, but it will take a very long time to do it. Getting a secured credit card is a step in the right direction, but it will also prevent you from borrowing too much money at one time, or going too far in debt when you can't afford it, which may be what got you in this situation in the first place.
These are just a few pros and cons of filing for bankruptcy. If you are thinking about filing for bankruptcy, please contact a qualified professional.

The role of "scientific" theories in the financial crisisPublished in Trust, scientific research, researcher, opportunism, markets, investors, institutions, governance, financial services industry, finance, economics, Blog, academic research by Jaakko Aspara
The academic world is often considered to be isolated from the real world. However, now that the world is struggling with an unprecedented financial crisis, one must (at last) pay attention to the role that academic theories may have in the real-world developments.
The very serious problem to be identified is that economists and finance scholars typically have excessive trust in their own theories -- trust that often approaches outright naiveté. This blind trust has tremendous implications to our economic system; at worst it contributes to crises like the one we are experiencing now.
Let me present a few illustrations. (Note that related comments on the "blind trust" can be found also in entries by Tuomas Kuronen and Henri Schildt)
Perhaps the best-known finance theory in the validity of which most academicians blindly believe is the one that states that the financial markets are efficient. This implies that the market values of securities, such as stocks, always reflect all the information that is relevant to their fundamental values.
Based on this theory one often concludes that "markets are always right" in their pricing of securities -- and also rightly price the risks related to the security values.
Now, to the extent that people have without a slightest doubt believed in this "scientific" conclusion, the theory in question has evidently been the underlying primus motor of the current crisis.
Another recent theory in the assumptions of which one trusts beyond reasonable doubt prescribes that firms should disgorge their "free cash flows" to their shareholders. A further theoretical prescription is that firms should disgorge their cash flows by buying back their own shares from the stock market (rather than by just paying dividends).
One blindly believes in these theoretical norms despite the fact that no one has ever been able to unambiguously define "free cash flows". And even less adequately has anyone been able to explain how a firm could -- in case it disgorges away its "free" cash flows -- maintain a reasonable level of investments in development of innovative products. Or, for that matter, a reasonable cash reserve for the rainy day, or September-October.
Also, one blindly believes that a firm should disgorge its cash flows by repurchasing its own shares from the market - even though no real-life evidence whatsoever exists that would prove that such buybacks would maximize the long-term market value of (or payments from) a firm to investors (beyond the short-term push-up to stock price).
Indeed, from the perspective of the financial crisis, it is illustrative to look a bit further into the stock buybacks that the largest US financial institutions made before the culmination of the crisis. (The figures come mostly from a study by William Lazonick of UMass Lowell.)
For instance, Lehman Brothers spent 17 billion dollars on buying back its own shares from the market during 2000-2007, and Bear Stearns 8.4 billion. As late as in 2007, the year preceding their collapses, these banks still spent 2.6 billion and 1.7 billion on stock buybacks, respectively.
And the other financial giants were not worse (or better) than that. In total, Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers, and JP Morgan Chase spent a tremendous 175 billion dollars on stock buybacks in 2000-2007. As late as in 2007, the year before the crisis culminated, the banks still had 28 billion dollars of "free" cash to spend on stock repurchases!
Moreover -- if the absolute figures do not say enough to you -- the figures appear even more insane when you relate them to the firms' net incomes. For instance, the money spent on stock buybacks at Lehman Brothers was about 92 percent of the firm's net after-tax income during 2000-2007. Add to this the dividends that the firm paid (which in themselves were rather moderate) and you can see that the firm disgorged away a sum of money equivalent of over 100 percent of its net income during the years leading to the crisis.
It is really quite obvious that if the banks had left part of these immense amounts of money into their cash reserves, they would have been able to better dampen down the crisis -- or even prevent its culmination altogether.
The cash reserves were disgorged, however, and eventually the stock buybacks only benefited the corporate executives who were early enough to sell their personal stock options in 2007 or before -- with stock prices that had been manipulated temporarily upwards with the very stock repurchases.
There is a multitude of theories similar to "markets are able to price risks rightly" and "using free cash flows on stock buybacks maximizes shareholder value" in the science of finance. (A few others can be found here.) These are theories in the truth value of which the scholars blindly believe, for which they eagerly speak, and which the persuasively teach to students -- but which just aren't very wise in terms of how the real world works.
To end with, perhaps the most tragicomic theory is one that some academic textbooks in the USA have until lately been claiming. It goes: "Securities based on mortgages are in fact risk-free". Right.
All in all, people's trust in the truth value of the "scientific" theories of finance has long ago gone over the top. This blind trust is unquestionably a partial cause to the current crisis.
As a final remark, it must also be noted that the academic theories -- in which way too many people trust -- are at their most hazardous when corporate insiders cunningly exploit that trust. These insiders will always play their cards right so as to maximize their personal income -- while conning the greater fools who trust in the "scientific" theories with even brighter blue eyes. The greater fools are: their own shareowners and investors as well as the politicians, media, and government officials.
Unfortunately, the problem is aggravated by the fact that there are so few academic scholars that would be straightforward enough to stand up and exclaim: "Many of our theories just suck. Big time."

Born prematurely at 1 pound and 6 ounces, Noah Henry Kennedy faced many obstacles to stay alive -- an infection, hemorrhaging in the brain and not being able to breathe on his own.
Now that he is a wide-eyed 11-month-old, Noah has learned to crawl and is ready explore the world.
In recognition of Noah and the thousands of other children who were born premature, the March of Dimes is focusing attention on premature birth during November, which is Prematurity Awareness Month.
Today is World Prematurity Day, and people are encouraged to wear purple.
Each year, one in eight children, or 500,000 babies, across the country are born premature, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In El Paso, one in seven births is premature, said Sandra Gonzalez, executive director of the March of Dimes El Paso Division.
What causes premature births is unknown, but Gonzalez said the group's goal is to reduce premature birth by at least 8 percent between 2009 and 2014.
"It may be stress related," Gonzalez said. "Right now, our prematurity is from the age of 30 to the age of 45. And many are wondering if it's stress due to their jobs."
Babies who are born premature face several challenges, including trouble breathing, yellowing of the skin and eyes, low blood sugar, anemia, infections and bleeding in the brain.
Breanna Kennedy, Noah's mother, could not hold her son for two months after his birth and felt confused about what happened.
"We could only touch him," she said. "It was difficult because it's up and down the whole time you are there. First, you make good strides and then there are complications, and you go two steps back. And in the end, you get frustrated because you just want them at home."
For four months, Noah was receiving oxygen and treatment in the newborn intensive care unit, where he grew stronger.
Finally in April, Noah was able to go home.
"He's just a normal baby," Kennedy said while holding a giggling and energetic Noah. "He's a little smaller -- but he's normal and happy."
Representatives of the March of Dimes El Paso Division will be passing out information from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today at Old Navy inside Cielo Vista Mall, 8401 Gateway West.

The whole concept of Supernatural wasn't to crown a winner regardless of what they led you to believe, it was to showcase the other side of snowboarding that the mainstream never sees. RedBull dumped a shit ton into that to market that event to get people out of the mindset that snowboarding is this formulated halfpipe or slopestyle run.
Also if you think he actually "oversaw" the building of that course you're insane. It was what's his nuts from Baldface that did all the work, the lay out, etc. etc. After the fact they realized they laid it out completely wrong and are going to have to change it going forward for the riders.
Now I will say this "Art of Flight" should be called "Art of Filler" Airplanes filming helicopters filming airplanes filming guys on sleds filming elks migrating filming grass blowing in the wind. It's a movie not for snowboarders it's for people that ride maybe once a year, use snowboarding as more a social gathering or backdrop, and just wanted some eye candy. If you want to see snowboarding for snowboarders pick up Absinthe.
Thats what I came here to say. I don't know if he is a douche or not in real life, but I know that he didn't set up this Supernatural contest just to add a trophy to his collection. I didn't care who won it actually, I was just excited to see something other than halfpipe on TV.
By the way, Red Bull is an awesome company putting things like this together (as well as the Mountain Biking series in Utah or wherever it is at, the Moto Enduro races in Europe, the dude jumping from that space shuttle thing, etc.).
I wish they would put more backcountry type shows on TV, like Terje's competition, etc.

Dark Chocolate Craver Brownies
For brownies you need
- About 4 cups of juice pulp. (I used juice pulp of 1 red apple, 2 green apples, 1 sweet potatoe and a little ginger - avoid citrus it will be bitter)
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp molasses or honey or any sugar free sweetener (I like molasses because I get a really pure form and it's strong in taste, low sugar)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- Pinch cinnamon and nutmeg
Blend all of it in blender or food processor and pour in pan.
Cook at 350 for 30-45 minutes. It will never get as solid as a brownie, but the edges will start to harden
Let cool while you make the topping.
Topping ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tblsp 3-6-9 blend oil (optional, but when uses with coconut oil the health benefits are the best you can get from omegas)
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1/2 cup coffee
- 4 tblsp sweetener (I used molasses again)
- 1tblsp vanilla
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4-1/2 cup cocoa (depends on how strong you want your chocolate)
Blend and pour over cooled brownies.
Let sit in the fridge an hour.
Eat and share!!!!
Let me know how you like to use your juice pulp!

BEIJING (AP) - China plans to excavate more of the life-size terracotta warriors at the famed ancient tomb of the country's first emperor, an official newspaper said Wednesday.
Archeologists hope to uncover more figures of officers to add to the 1,000-plus statues already excavated, the official China Daily newspaper said Wednesday. Special care will be taken to preserve the figures' painted details, which have decayed almost entirely in those already exposed to the air.
The new dig is the third undertaken since the tomb was first uncovered in 1974 outside the western city of Xi'an and will focus on a 2,152-square foot (2000-square meter) patch lying within the tomb's main pit that holds the main warrior force.
In all, the tomb's three pits are thought to hold 8,000 life-sized figures, including those of archers, infantry soldiers, horse-drawn chariots, officers and acrobats. It is believed they were created to protect the emperor in the afterlife.
No two figures are alike, and craftsmen are believed to have modeled them after a real army.
A fourth pit was apparently left empty by its builders, while the actual burial chamber of the first emperor, Qin Shihuang, at the center of the complex has yet to be excavated.
Qin, who died in 210 B.C. at the age of 50, created China's first unitary state by conquering rival kingdoms. He built an extensive system of roads and canals along with an early incarnation of the Great Wall of China, while unifying measurements and establishing a single written language, currency and legal statutes.

Originalists and the 14th Amendment
December 14, 2011
By Jacob Combs
David Gans and Doug Kendall of the Constitutional Accountability Center have an article this week in Slate examining a new school of thought in conservative jurisprudence regarding the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection. Featured in their piece is a law review article written by Stephen Calabresi, co-founder and board chair of the Federalist Society, and Julia T. Ricker arguing that the original text of the Constitution protects women from sex discrimination. Their argument, essentially, is that the 14th Amendment's ultimate intention in abolishing slavery was to forbid the subordination of any citizen based on their individual characteristics. As Gans and Kendall write:
Calabresi thus convincingly demonstrates that the full sweep of our constitutional history—the principle stated in the Declaration of Independence, perfected in the text of the Equal Protection Clause, and then further illuminated in the 19th and other amendments—supports a broad reading of the Constitution's command of equality.
Furthermore, they argue that this new way of thinking may be persuading originalists on the Supreme Court, including Antonin Scalia, to reexamine their narrow interpretations of the 14th Amendment, and could even affect the way they rule on equal protection cases, such as Perry v. Brown.
But as Towleroad's Ari Ezra Waldman argues, it's too early for marriage equality supporters to plan for an easy victory at the Supreme Court. In particular, Waldman notes that textualism and originalism have been used for many years by conservatives who advocate for a minimalist federal government. Second, the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave women the right to vote and explicitly prohibited sex discrimination in voting, supports an originalist view prohibiting sex discrimination. Gays and lesbians do not have a corresponding amendment to point to as we push for equality. This distinction, Waldman points out, is essential:
Keep in mind that this interpretive regime and the relevance of the Nineteenth Amendment for a broad reading of the Fourteenth Amendment is salient for textualists and originalists. I am under no such burden. I have no problem accepting the applicability of the Equal Protection Clause to sexual orientation discrimination, and just because Justice Scalia believes that the clause bans sex discrimination does not mean he is on board with the view that the clause also bans sexual orientation discrimination. For a textualist, the journey is much harder.
Of course, there are only nine men and women who have any idea what the justices of the Supreme Court may think when (or if) the Perry appeal makes its way to the high court. Its tempting to assume the votes will fall in an ideological 5-4 split, with Justice Kennedy making the ultimate decision, but the reality could be quite different. For now, though, as Waldman says, let's not count our justices until they've voted.

You leave out the statistical likelihood that a minimum of two USSC justices will either die or retire during Obama's second term.
If I had to call it, Thomas is one on the dead list. Scalia too. Neither is very healthy. Just replacing those two could tilt the court back to the left.
3. Steven | December 14, 2011 at 9:08 pm
Hey guys, Please don't bash some justices and wishing they will die while serving on the court. it looks bad upon us.. Are the other side thinking and hoping some liberal justices will die? no.. Think positive about this case. We are so winning so far…
4. Tyler | December 14, 2011 at 9:14 pm
I'm not sure why that article is getting so much play. Calabresi is principled, he is conservative, and he did found the Federalist Society, but he is considerably more open to non-traditional outcomes in originalism (that doesn't mean they're wrong outcomes, but it does mean that they're somewhat novel and certainly not consonant with the conservative movement's interpretation of originalism). None of the four truly conservative Justices are going to buy it. There's not a chance in the world that we get Thomas's, Alito's, or Scalia's vote. I think there might be a 1%-5% chance that we get Roberts's vote, because he'd probably rather be viewed historically in a positive light. Anyway, I think it's one of the safer bets you can make that the ultimate decision will be 5-4.
5. Bill S. | December 15, 2011 at 1:26 am
It's worth noting that Roberts provided pro-bono legal services in Romer v. Evans (in favor of the pro-gay side).
6. Doug Kendall | December 15, 2011 at 8:17 am
Thanks very much, Jacob, for this discussion of the Slate article written by David Gans and myself. I just wanted to clarify, particularly in response to Mr. Waldman's piece, that we are under absolutely no delusion that Justice Scalia will change his mind about the Equal Protection Clause and the protection of gay men and lesbians. You cannot read his vitriolic opinions in this area and think that. Our point, rather, is that the ground is shifting under Justice Scalia, with conservative originalists like Professor Calabresi taking the position that the EPC protects women against discrimination on the basis of gender (something many conservative originalists, including Justice Scalia, have long denied). While Justice Scalia seemed to recognize this history in his recent Senate testamony, it would be shocking if this caused Justice Scalia to change his mind if Perry gets to the Court. What it does, instead, is undercut his position and strenthen the arguments being made by Perry supporters to moderate conservatives, such as Justice Kennedy, who everyone suspects will be the deciding vote if the Court takes Perry. Hope that clarifies things and thanks again for this discussion.

He also rejected the court challenge – singlehandedly – against marriage equality in DC.

Um. Listen. I will bet you any amount of money you want, I will bet my house, my car, my entire life savings, the clothes off my children's backs, that, assuming the SCOTUS make a ruling in Perry, Scalia will vote against marriage equality.
The bet is off if Scalia suffers some kind of neurological incident like a stroke or something that can radically alter a person's behavior. Barring that, to even think Scalia might vote the right way on this one is borderline delusional. Sorry to be a fly in the ointment.
9. James Sweet | December 15, 2011 at 8:45 am
Tyler is exactly right here. I'd put Roberts at closer to 1% than 5%, but it's not entirely unimaginable. The other three conservative justices, the odds are as close to 0% as is possible when talking about these sorts of things.
It will be a 5-4 decision, and it could go either way.
10. thark | December 15, 2011 at 8:54 am
Steven you know for SURE the demons on the other side wish the liberal EVERYONE would die. (don't you ever see those GOP rally posters…?)
They certainly leave no doubt as to how rabid the right has become.
But…uh…I suppose we know what you mean…
(rolled eyes, in some ways…)
11. thark | December 15, 2011 at 9:00 am
Scalis an Thomas have BOTH written extensively antigay articles and have gone on record repeatedly as being faithful to a "religious leader" who is now taking the unprecedented step of authorizing huge sums of money to defeat any civil attempt to treat gay people more equally under the law.
We're talking about two "justices" (rolled eyes) who are constantly swearing their allegiance to Pope Nazius the 1st and his campaign to "get the gays" (again), in order to preserve the salvation of his congregation (or some such gobble-dee-gook) and protect the world from "the destruction of marriage as we know it".
The souls of two VERY catholic "justices"…in a perilous balance between good and evil, as they see it…?
(turns that so-called 5-4 ruling right on its head doesn't…MUWAHAHAHahahahahahaaa….)
12. thark | December 15, 2011 at 9:05 am
The constitution protects what it was designed to protect.
That unanimous ruling in Iowa was no accident.
The Antigays gut themselves every time they invite scrutiny.
History has and will bear this out.
13. Jordan | December 15, 2011 at 10:12 am
As for the health of the justices and wishes of health on them, I'd like to point that both sides have said some pretty dispicable things. I want to believe that NOM's advocated praying for the deaths of judges, but I don't remember which faction it was- just that it was anti-gay. Either way, it's wrong. Wanted to throw that in there, though. Where there is a thought, there will be an raging, idiot troll to make bane on it.
14. Fluffyskunk | December 15, 2011 at 6:28 pm
What second term?
15. TomTallis | December 15, 2011 at 9:01 pm
Do you think the court WILL take Perry? It seems to me that the 9th circuit will rule narrowly in a way that only applies to California and the SCOTUS will breath a sigh of relief and deny cert.

Wait, seriously? Where do you know that from?

Crash kills 2 near Bronte
Two people died at the scene of a single-vehicle crash near Bronte on Monday, authorities said.
One person was taken to a San Angelo hospital by helicopter, and others injured in the wreck were taken away in three ambulances.
Trooper Shawn Baxter, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Safety, said the crash happened about 1 p.m. two miles south of Bronte on U.S. Highway 277.
The wreck involved one vehicle carrying nine people, he said, and some passengers were trapped in the vehicle after the crash. Trooper Tod Reed said at the scene that extraction machinery was used to remove some the occupants. Reed said at least one occupant of the SUV had been ejected.
None of the people in the crash were identified. The vehicle, a Ford Excursion SUV, had plates that indicated it was registered in Grand Prairie.
Reed said the crash occurred when the SUV's right rear tire blew while it was traveling southbound on 277. The vehicle went out of control, flipped and rolled several times before hitting a fence and tree and landing on its side. The highway had deep indentions in the gravel where the rim of the wheel gouged the ground before the vehicle flipped.
The vehicle was removed at about 4 p.m. Luggage was strewn across a nearby field, including blankets and pillows and a duffle bag with the word "cheerleader" stitched into it. A mesquite tree was uprooted where the vehicle had come to a stop.
The Coke County Sheriff's department, Bronte Fire Department, San Angelo Fire Department and the DPS responded to the crash.

December 1, 2015
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee and Lane Kiffin have reached a
tentative agreement with the former Oakland Raiders coach to lead
the Volunteers, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Friday.
A formal announcement was expected early next week, said the person, who requested anonymity because the deal had not been finalized.
Kiffin, 33, replaces Phillip Fulmer, who was forced out after 17 seasons as Vols coach. Fulmer won a national championship in 1998
but had two losing seasons in the last five years, including a 4-7
mark this year.
Kiffin was the youngest coach in the NFL's modern history when hired to lead the Raiders in January 2007 at age 31. He also spent seven seasons as an assistant at Southern California.
