WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Democrats renewed a
traditional election-year battle over Social Security
Friday, launching a campaign to warn seniors that Republican
proposals would undermine the popular retirement program.
Democrats said Republican plans to let seniors invest some
of their Social Security funds in the stock market would
threaten retirees' financial security.
"The Republicans advocating these changes are not friends
of senior citizens," Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim
Kaine said ahead of Saturday's 75th anniversary of President
Franklin Roosevelt's signing of the Social Security law.
Democrats plan events around the country to celebrate the
anniversary and highlight Republican candidates who have called
for some form of privatization of Social Security.
Republicans said the attacks were designed to put the focus
on something other than President Barack Obama's economic
failures as Democrats struggle to keep their majorities in
Congress ahead of the Nov. 2 elections.
"Democrats in Washington are desperate to shift attention
away from their reckless spending record and failure to create
jobs," said Brian Walsh of the Republican Senate campaign
A report last week said Social Security would exhaust its
reserves in 2037, but lawmakers have been unable to find ways
to boost the program, battling over proposals to cut benefits,
hike taxes or raise the retirement age.
Republican President George W. Bush's push to add personal
retirement accounts failed in 2005 in the face of heavy
Democratic and public opposition. Democrats said it would be
more foolish now after the upheavals and mood swings on Wall
Street in recent years.
The issue has been particularly prominent in Nevada's
senate race. Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid has attacked
Republican opponent Sharron Angle, a favorite of conservative
Tea Party groups, for saying Social Security should be phased
out for "something privatized."
After taking heavy fire on the issue, Angle released a
television ad this week attacking Reid for raiding the Social
Security trust fund "for his own pet projects" and saying she
would like to save the program.
Democrats have made Social Security a top issue for years,
and at times have had success painting Republicans as a threat
to the popular program, particularly in the 1980s.
A poll released earlier this week by NBC and the Wall
Street Journal found Democrats had an advantage of 4 percentage
points over Republicans when voters were asked which party
would do the better job on Social Security -- the smallest lead
listed in the poll since 1994.
Senior citizens traditionally are the most active voters,
and their participation could be crucial in a low turnout
mid-term election that does not feature a presidential contest
to attract less interested voters.

Former Oregon man ID'd as one killed in US Embassy attack
PORTLAND, Ore. -- One of the four Americans recently killed in the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya this week was a Portland native.
Officials at the State Department identified Tyrone Woods as one of the casualties in the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya on Tuesday.
Woods' mother Cheryl Bennett, who was in the middle of packing Thursday night to go to Washington D.C., said her son was a 1989 Oregon City High School graduate. He went into the Navy a year later and became a SEAL and spent a 20-year career there before retiring in 2010.
Woods recently lived in the San Diego area with his wife, Dr. Dorothy Narvaez-Woods, a dentist in La Jolla, Calif. He also had two children with his ex-wife. Bennett said her son "thrived on adrenaline and excitement and danger. Anytime he could jump out of a plane, whether it was at 15,000 feet or 30,000 feet, it didn't matter."
Bennett also said her son was not only a "stellar SEAL," but he was a quiet person.
"He went out and he just got the job done with his team, who was his family," she said.
Tyrone S. Woods - "Rone" - we thank you for your 2 decades in uniform. Our hearts are with your wife, Dorothy, and your three sons.— Susan Rice (@AmbassadorRice) September 14, 2012
Bennett went on to say he took his job seriously. Since 2010, Woods protected American diplomatic personnel in posts from Central America to the Middle East. It was a long way from when he first realized he wanted to join the Navy.
"I remember he told me, 'Mom, you know what? I'm not just going to be another barnacle scraper -- I'm trying out for the Navy SEALs," Bennett said.
Woods went through what is commonly referred to in the Navy as "hell week" twice. He was injured during the first time, but he told his leaders he could go on. He did so well that they let him go through again.
Prior to going to Oregon City High School, Woods, who grew up with people telling him he looked like actor Val Kilmer, went to Sellwood Middle School and was born at Woodland Park Hospital.
"He was 8 pounds, 11 ounces -- a blond, fuzzy-haired little baby that I wanted more than anything in the world," Bennett said.
Ed Burton, the former wrestling coach at Oregon City High School, coached Woods. He even gave Woods a ride home from practice on occasion and got to know Woods well. Burton said Bennett was "very active" in Woods' education and worried about him and that Woods was "an intense kid (and) wrestling was perfect for him, but he never said much."
Burton was obviously saddened when he heard the news about Woods.
"When I first heard the news and got through the shock and disappointment, my first recollection would be he probably died helping somebody," he said. "That would have been typical of him."
The interesting part was that Woods wasn't a fantastic wrestler. He never won a district championship, but his determination proved to be formidable.
"(He) always worked his way into starting lineup in and out and wrestled the other kids tough in practice," Burton said. "He was a good kid ... I really felt bad for his mom because she put so much into his education and life. She would do anything for him and he was good to her. He respected his mom and was a good kid."
Burton said joining the Navy was likely a good way to go for Woods because if we would've gone to college, he would have had to work his way through his schooling in order to afford it.
"The military was a great place for him and he kind of thrived on that mentality he became a spit-and-polish kid," he said.

Efforts at talking to the Taliban have been a failure to date, and they are unlikely to meet with success anytime soon.
The Obama and Karzai administrations are both trying to open negotiation channels with the movement, each for their own reasons. President Obama hopes to bring some level of stability to Afghanistan through a political settlement with the Taliban as he withdraws the majority of American troops from the country by the end of 2014 – a face-saving approach of some sort. Likewise, President Karzai wishes to strike a deal with the Taliban before the end of his presidential mandate in the spring of 2014, hoping to leave a legacy of peace-building behind.
But perhaps the very reasons why presidents Obama and Karzai are pushing for talks with the Taliban are preventing the insurgent movement from responding in kind. Given the short time remaining of NATO's combat mission, as well as Karzai's term as president, what incentives do the Taliban have in agreeing to any negotiations? Why would they negotiate with Americans who are running toward the exit, or with Karzai who will not be in power in a few months?

Our world. Your move. Events in Nigeria.
02-07-2009 Event
Event Info
Where: Geneva
Celebrating Henry Dunant's 150-year-old legacy through entertainment
On 18 September, over 360 guests, including the wife of Nigeria's vice-president, Dame Patience Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria's minister of information and communication, Prof. Dora Akunyili, and several ambassadors in post in Abuja accepted the invitation of the ICRC to attend the " Humanity Concert " and celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Solferino and the 60th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions.
The Humanity Concert
" This evening of music, dance, drama and imagery is meant to draw people's attention to numerous humanitarian challenges, " said Jacques Villettaz, the head of the ICRC's delegation in Abuja, in his welcome remarks. " It also serves to remind everyone of their individual responsibility to take action and promote a culture of volunteerism, just as Henry Dunant did 150 years ago. "
The concert delighted the audience for three hours with entertainment while at the same time conveying messages on the mandate and work of the ICRC, and on its origin 150 years ago.
The theme of the ICRC's worldwide Our world. Your move. campaign is that of shared responsibility and of the power of both individual and collective action to make a difference. Members of the student choir of the Rochas Okorocha Foundation, the Rochas Angels, understand this theme very well, since they themselves benefited from a humanitarian " move " by an individual who adopted them when they were street kids. The choir welcomed the audience with a rousing first number: " Just add to the world, try a little kindness, " they sang. " Change the world, show some love. "
The Rochas Angels were not the only ones to make a musical move at the concert – Charlyboy, a popular Nigerian music icon, did so as well. Charlyboy exploded on the Nigerian music scene as an unusual " brand, " sporting outlandish clothes, body piercing and decorations and a bit of a Mad Max hairstyle. With time, however, he became a phenomenon in Nigeria's entertainment industry, and also became known for his social activism and philanthropy.
When he mounted the stage, his body decorations and hard-core leather motorcycle outfit were very much on display. However, when he began to perform his special song for the Red Cross anniversaries, the entire puzzle surrounding his personality melted away. He won over the audience as he sang of Henry Dunant, the Red Cross and the Geneva Conventions, mixing English with local dialects. It was a remarkable sight as the Rochas Angels, dressed in their colourful ceremonial uniforms, provided back-up for Charlyboy by chorusing and synchronizing their dance moves to " all we need is just to make this world better for you and me – let's make this world a better place. "
Remembering ICRC "moves" during the Nigeria / Biafra war
Prof. Emma Okoronta, who emceed the concert, nearly succumbed to kwashiorkor, a virulent form of childhood malnutrition, when he was five years old, during the Nigeria-Biafra civil war in 1969-1970. The war had halted most agricultural activity and relief deliveries were scarce, especially on the Biafran side. As a result, it is likely that more people were killed by acute malnutrition and diseases like tetanus and cholera than by battlefield bullets. Prof. Okoronta survived, however, with the help of the ICRC. He used the Humanity Concert platform to pay tribute to the Red Cross and express his appreciation " for the rations of corn meal, Quaker oats, dried eggs, milk and iodine that stopped tetanus from eating up our limbs, " as he put it, in a moving voice. " For teaching our mothers to cook the sour leaves so that we could get protein. For many things, including that I would not have been able to make it without the ICRC's support. "
Re-enacting scenes from the Battle of Solferino
The most thrilling part of the show was a dance-drama presentation, re-enacting the genesis of the Red Cross and the Geneva Conventions, by the Abuja Council for Arts and Culture. The use of African songs, dance, scenes and costumes to tell a European story was highly original and well suited to the mixed audience of Africans and Western diplomats.
The battle scene of Solferino was played by bare-chested soldiers, who wore colourful raffia skirts and brandished traditional war instruments as they danced to the African drum, the flute and other musical instruments. " I didn't know much about the Red Cross until I started directing this drama, " admitted Kayode Aiyegbusi of the Abuja Council for Arts and Culture.
Showcasing dignity and hope in armed conflict through a photo exhibition
Three days before the Humanity Concert, a photo exhibition featuring 40 archival images on the ICRC's work opened to the public in Abuja. The exhibition " is filled with contrasts … lots of the photos express suffering, but there are also beautiful pictures, " said Dr Andreas Baum, the Swiss ambassador to Nigeria.
The picture of Louise, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, attracted the most attention. Louise witnessed the killing of her husband by armed men who attacked her village. Then she was raped. And then she witnessed the raping of her 81-year-old mother and three young daughters. Many visitors asked how Louise was able not only to survive but to go on to provide counselling for other rape victims.
The answer lies in the message the ICRC is trying to convey by hosting the exhibition – the message of courage, dignity, defiance and hope shown by many victims of armed conflict amid pain and suffering. Over 150 visitors from the diplomatic community, civil society, the media, the armed forces, ECOWAS, the government and the public attended the opening.
The talent and expertise that came together to celebrate Our world. Your move. made everyone feel truly responsible.
Our world. Your move. Events across the globe.

Mason Brothers
As the two continued working together, James' solo career gave way to a proper partnership between both siblings. Mason Brothers made their official debut with 2008's The Sun, the Moon & the Sea, a stark album that focused on the band's strengths: nimble guitar fingerpicking, subtle arrangements, and understated, softly sung melodies. A flurry of TV and movie placements helped promote the band's music outside of Virginia, as did shared dates with bands like Magnolia Electric Co. and Songs: Ohia. By the time Ghost Season rolled around in 2011, Mason Brothers had expanded their sound considerably, adding louder dynamics and a touch of Pink Floyd's spacey rock & roll to the mix. Meanwhile, the band continued writing new songs, added pianist/songwriter Ben Willson to the lineup, and began preparing for a third release in 2012. ~ Andrew Leahey

Challenging Those "Personally Opposed but Politically for"
Father Michael Hull's Address at Videoconference on "Church and State"
| 924 hits
NEW YORK, OCT. 29, 2004 (Zenit.org).- Here is the text prepared by Father Michael Hull, a professor at St. Joseph's Seminary of New York, for today's theological videoconference organized by the Congregation for Clergy, on "Church and State."
* * *
The Politician and Faith
Professor Michael Hull
The application of Christian morality in public service is no different from the application of Christian morality in private life. There is no disparity between a Catholic's moral obligations when he is in public service and when he is not. Unfortunately, a persistent and pervasive error -- often disseminated by misinformed or mistaken Catholics and others, and not infrequently encapsulated in vacuous phraseology such as "personally opposed but politically for" -- insists that one can publicly support and propagate evil while claiming to remain privately against such evil.
Today many politicians, who claim to be good Catholics, actively back policies that are contrary to the natural moral law and teaching of the Church, for example, the murder of unborn children in abortion and infanticide ("partial-birth" abortion). Can a Catholic politician who advocates and promotes an intrinsic moral evil licitly receive holy Communion? The answer is, of course, "no."
Why? Because Catholics are obliged to promote the common good. Currently, the best articulation of Catholic teaching on this point is proffered by the Most Reverend Raymond L. Burke (archbishop of St. Louis) in his Oct. 1, 2004, pastoral letter "On Our Civic Responsibility for the Common Good."
Archbishop Burke notes that Catholics must vote in such wise as to eventually achieve the "total conformity of the civil law with the moral law," to fulfill their responsibility to the common good as best they can. That obligation is not mitigated but intensified when a Catholic holds public office. It is sadly the case that some Catholic politicians believe they can uphold an unjust law, for example, the Roe v. Wade (1973) "right to choose," and at the same time remain good Catholics and receive holy Communion.
During a conference at the National Press Club (Washington, D.C.; Sept. 16, 2004) entitled "Public Witness/Public Scandal: Faith, Politics, and Life Issues in the Catholic Church," sponsored by the Ave Maria School of Law (Ann Arbor, Michigan), the Reverend John J. Coughlin, OFM, a professor of law at Notre Dame University, articulated clearly and cogently the Code of Canon Law in regard to the illicit reception of holy Communion by a pro-abortion Catholic, who is not to be admitted to holy Communion because he continues to "persist in manifest grave sin" (Canon 915).
At the same conference, Dr. Robert P. George, a professor of law at Princeton University, explained the inanity of those who claim that the Church does not have the right -- never mind the duty, in season and out of season -- to bar those who "persist in manifest grave sin" from holy Communion. In the United States of America, where the issue is especially salient during this presidential election year, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops discussed it at their June 2004 meeting in Denver (Colorado). The USCCB stated clearly that "decisions [about the denial of holy Communion to some Catholics in political life] rest with the individual [diocesan] bishop."
Fortunately, some diocesan bishops have been courageous in publicly forbidding pro-abortion Catholic politicians from approaching the altar rail. Their courageousness not only highlights the folly of "personally opposed but politically for" but also strengthens the body of believers.
We, like St. Paul, need to remind ourselves that "God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control" with which we are to guard the truth that has been entrusted to us by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 1:7,14).

Is there a list of available options for PRS amplifiers? I'm seeing some great looking amps lately and was wondering what's available for Tolex/Vinyl coverings, Grille Coverings, Speakers...etc....
Is there a list of available options for PRS amplifiers? I'm seeing some great looking amps lately and was wondering what's available for Tolex/Vinyl coverings, Grille Coverings, Speakers...etc....
That would be great if the PRS CAD team would post something like that on the website!
Also it would be great if they would post a gallery of cool stuff they have done, and what the tolex and wood colors are.
I think it is awesome to be able to custom order the amps in whatever covering and wood panels! Here is my latest creation, a custom MDT based on Paul's amp with a 4x10 cab:
It's funny, I had started my amp collection with some PRS amps, the Sewell, 2-Channel C and the HXDA, still have the Sewell, but I had started to branch out and check out some other brands of Amps, and PRS has reeled me back in with this custom ordering option, I am back to all PRS amps again, sold my JVM410 and Axe FX II, bought a Blistertone, 2 Channel H and MDT, all with a custom covering and Maple configuration.
Well done, Doug and Paul!
Anyway, back to the original notion of the thread, I agree PRS could increase sales of custom ordered amps if they came up with (1) a list of options and (2) a gallery of past creations!
Ted Club President
The next best thing may be a thread of pix
I can't say enough about how much I am loving the PRS CAD program right now. I have an Original Sewell, a Blistertone, a 2 Channel H and my new MDT, and 3 of 4 of those were custom ordered with what I wanted for covering and Maple. And I think I am going to order another 2 Channel C as well (had one of the "First 50", sold it, but want another one).
More importantly, they all sound AWESOME! I sold my JVM410 and my Axe FX II because they were basically sitting there collecting dust.
Keep up the great work!
P.S. Unfortunately I cannot make the Experience this year, I have a gig in Canada that week. Have fun! I will stop by and see you next time I visit the Wood Library, which hopefully is soon...
Ted Club President
Hey Pete,
I'm sorry we won't see you at the Experience, but have a great show in Canada!
ps, I think you may want to change your signature to read "Ted & CAD Club President".

The winner of the ReniassianceRe Junior Gold Cup was decided in the final race on Hamilton harbour today with Milo Gill-Taylor of Great Britain finishing in fourth place today but earning the necessary points to win the overall regatta with 84 points.
Milo Gill-Taylor (center) won the 2013 Renaissance Re Junior Gold Cup.
'Today was the best part of a really great week and I had really hoped to come to Bermuda and win this event,' said Gill-Taylor. 'I learned a lot by coming here and I really enjoyed it. Gill-Taylor placed six points ahead of second place finisher Max Quirk of Australia who just had to stay in the top 10 to win it but in his final race he did not sail his best race and ended up in second place overall six points behind the winner.
'I mainly got stuffed on the first beat and I thought I was OK but then Milo got a shift and pulled away. Basically, I ended up getting stuck on the right and going around the bottom mark with a bunch of other sailors. That is when I think I shot myself in the foot,' Quirk said. 'But, I feel like I finished on a high and still did really well when I look over the fleet - there were so many good sailors here.'
For Hattie Rogers of Great Britain, her final race today was a true triumph as she was the first to cross the line on Hamilton harbor in view of the entire spectator fleet. Her win today put her in fifth place overall. She also won the top female trophy as well as the Anniversary Trophy for her first place finish today.
Hatti Rogers (GBR)was top Girl in the Renaissance Re Junior Gold Cup, She finished 6th overall
'It was amazing to come in first on Hamilton harbor,' she said. 'Really incredible.'
Third place in the regatta went to Lukas Hesse of Germany and fourth place belongs to Emil Jarudd of Sweden.
All of the sailors benefited this week from the advice and time spent with sailors like Sir Ben Ainslie and Iain Percy who gave them invaluable suggestions. 'What really helped me a lot before today was what Iain Percy told us about not being nervous – about the fact that we were nervous before a competition,' Rogers said. 'He said the nervousness could be a good thing. That was really helpful and I kept thinking of that today.'
Campbell Patton of Bermuda also took many of the helpful words from his sailing heroes, and finished the overall event as the top Bermudian in seventh place.
'Iain Percy had a little talk with me this morning and that helped me a lot. He gave me some great advice and then Ben talked to me, too,' Patton. 'Having those guys here all week was amazing. It was really so helpful and inspiring.'
For young Leyli Walker, who is only nine years old, the event really opened her eyes. 'I thought it would be hard, but it was really fun. I think that right now sailing is my favorite thing to do,' she said. Leyli is the granddaughter of Jordy Walker who co-founded the match-racing event in its current format.
The legacy of the Renaissance Re Junior Gold Cup is really starting to change the sailing experience for both the adult sailors and the youngsters who come here. A number of the adult competitors came here as Junior Gold Cup competitors and returned as adult sailors.
'I believe that the standard of racing here raises the bar for these youngsters in the Junior Gold Cup as they meet the older competitors as well,' said Peter C. Durhager, Executive Vice President of RenaissanceRe. 'They learn about what comes after Optimist racing and they begin to perform at the level of these professionals in many ways - at a young age. They are competing as youngsters here but it is very rare to get the chance to see what is waiting for them next and they get to see that at this event here in Bermuda.'
Event organizers Somers and Dede Cooper agree that seeing these young people shine 'is very inspiring. It is a privilege for me to be able to do this event,' Dede said. And, 'it is such a great sense of accomplishment because we make so many young people so happy. It makes a lot of the work really worth it,' added Somers Cooper.

Long Room Hub Senior Lecturer in Digital Humanities
Director: M.Phil in Digital Humanities and Culture
My research and teaching are primarily in the areas of Digital Humanities and Irish poetic modernism. My research in the Digital Humanities ranges from text encoding and the creation of digital scholarly editions, to more recent interests in Virtual Worlds and Datamining. In Irish poetic modernism I have focused on the life and work of the Irish poet, literary and art critic, and Director of the National Gallery of Ireland (1950-63), Thomas MacGreevy (1893-1967).

|Assessing organizational climate: Psychometric properties of the CLIOR Scale.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23336556 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Background: Organizational climate is the set of perceptions shared by workers who occupy the same workplace. The main goal of this study is to develop a new organizational climate scale and to determine its psychometric properties. Method: The sample consisted of 3,163 Health Service workers. A total of 88.7% of participants worked in hospitals, and 11.3% in primary care; 80% were women and 20% men, with a mean age of 51.9 years (SD= 6.28). Results: The proposed scale consists of 50 Likert-type items, with an alpha coefficient of 0.97, and an essentially one-dimensional structure. The discrimination indexes of the items are greater than 0.40, and the items show no differential item functioning in relation to participants' sex. A short version of the scale was developed, made up of 15 items, with discrimination indexes higher than 0.40, an alpha coefficient of 0.94, and its structure was clearly one-dimensional. Conclusions: These results indicate that the new scale has adequate psychometric properties, allowing a reliable and valid assessment of organizational climate.

SACRAMENTO (AP) - A jury has returned an attempted murder conviction for a woman whose boyfriend shot and seriously wounded a Sacramento police dog before firing on the K-9's human partner.
The Sacramento Bee says (http://bit.ly/16mqVd2 ) the jury determined Wednesday that the woman, Leslie Marie McCully, was equally responsible for her boyfriend's actions in May of last year when they took off on a high-speed chase after an officer tried to pull them over.
Lucus Jerome Webb was fatally shot when he opened fire on Officer Randy Van Dusen and his K-9, Bodie. The German shepherd suffered gunshot wounds but has recovered. Officer Van Dusen was not hit.
McCully's sentencing is set for Oct. 11.
Bodie's story drew Facebook fans worldwide who eagerly awaited updates on his condition.

currently rocking a pair of bombproof 4 year old burton customs but would like to keep my eyes out for something to go with the 158 great boobs i scored this week. i wear burton driver x size 11 as well.
mostly into free riding and carving with a bit of freestyle thrown in as well, ideally would like something with a good bit of cushioning in the footbed as i have pretty flat feet and tend to feel it after a full days riding. heard a lot of good things about flux bindings but i'm open to suggestions...

The DMCC Lights will be great from Flux and will do everything you might need for average dampening, but they aren't great for top end shock. Its still my only gripe with Flux as a whole.
Only other two options you need, Flow NXT-2's (either strap style), or Raiden Phantoms.
I run contact pros on my great dudes, very cushy.
2 Attachment(s)
^^ That's atcually what I demoed when I rode the Greats. For Union its a good match, but most others are still better.
Union Contact Pro's, or the Union SL's
The foot beds on Unions, the contact pros will be nice but they seem a little on the buttery side for me, if you want something a little stiffer and responsive i would go with the forces.
JPS rides SF45s on the same board. New cartels good match too.

You can try to blame Matt Flynn for the way the Patriots-Packers game ended tonight. And you're right, it did not look, um, professional.
Confusion across the entire offense. Flynn obviously not knowing what to do. The seconds ticking away. Every fiber in a Packers fan's body screaming, "Snap the damn ball!" The last-second sack and fumble that ended the Patriots 31-27 victory and dispelled what would have been an outstanding win for Green Bay.
But this was not a failure by Flynn, who was outstanding throughout most of the game in his first career start. Playing against the Super Bowl favorite – though, mind you, also a team that doesn't have a very good defense – Flynn had an impressive performance, completing 24 of 37 passes for 251 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
And the sack and fumble at the end of the game.
Yet, this was a failure of the coaching staff.
Here's the scenario: the Packers were down by four but driving with less than a minute to play and no timeouts remaining. With 29 seconds to go, Flynn took the third-and-11 snap and fired a 10-yard pass to WR Donald Driver. He was tackled with 23 seconds to play.
And from there, nobody had any idea of what was happening. Flynn couldn't get a play-call on the headset inside his helmet, and with only four seconds left, he finally took the snap. He was met by Patriots DL Tully Banta-Cain for the game-ending sack.
But here's the thing: how could Packers coach Mike McCarthy not have a play ready for Flynn assuming the third-down play didn't make enough yards? How are two plays not called in the huddle? Especially, knowing that Flynn has almost no NFL experience, how does McCarthy allow that to happen?
Said Driver after the game, via our Rapid Reporter: "We had a second-down play called (for) after the spike, but we were a yard short so we just had to go with it."
But how does that make sense? Why would the Packers need a play called for after they clock the ball? If they stopped the clock, they would have had plenty of time to call a play for second down. No, what they needed was a fourth-down play-call, which they didn't have.
Here's what McCarthy said in his postgame presser:
Q: Mike, what about the two-minute drill, especially the last two plays? Did you think you could get off another play or two, or was it rushed?
MM: First of all, the third down completion, you have to find out if it's first down or fourth down. So, it obviously takes time and the clock was running and I think it was 20 to 21. It got to a point, we were right at the point, if it was a first down that we would have clocked the play and we would have had a set play on second down. You know, it takes the referee time to, you know, make a decision. And it was a clear fourth and one, so you have to get up on the ball and take a shot at the end zone. I think it's a very clear situation and I think Matt operated it properly in a three-man rush and they sacked us. So, the mechanics of it, I thought, was very well done by Matt Flynn.
Q: It looked like he was checking personnel, was there trying to change personnel on that last play?
MM: No, we were in zebra. We didn't change personnel, he was just setting the formation. You know, you have to find out the down and distances first. You're in a clock situation if it's first down and you have to throw the ball in the end zone if it's fourth down. And that was the communication that Matt was giving to the rest of the offense.
Flynn might take the blame for the late-game snafu, but it wasn't his fault.
Yet, with the loss, the Packers, at 8-6, severely hurt their playoff chances. At this point, the Saints (10-4) and the Giants (9-5) have a hold on the Wild Card berths, and if the Bears beat the Vikings on Monday night, Green Bay would find itself two games behind Chicago in the NFC North.
That probably would be lethal to the Packers postseason chances.
And yeah, it's unfair as hell that a sub-.500 squad from the NFC West will go to the playoffs ahead of Green Bay. But the Packers had their chances. Their quarterback just didn't have enough experience. And their coach didn't give him the chance to win the game.

Mike and Mike, stick with the radio show, PLEASE.
Monday Night Football, an American institution, has always had debatably the cream of the broadcasting crop. Football fans have been watching monday night games since 1970. That is going on 38 years. I have been around for all 38 of those years and have always found time to watch the games. Whether my Dallas Cowboys where on or not. I have enjoyed the many different broadcasters, some where all show IE Dennis Miller and his "rantings" to Howard Cossell and his off colored remarks. We have seen the likes of Rush Limbaugh, short lived albeit but he did a game. The best of Monday Night would be John Madden and Al Michaels in recent years. With all the greats and not so greats that have called the games can some one please explain to me how, with the vast array of "guest hosts" available to a broadcast giant likes of Disney/ABC/ESPN conglomerate, the best they could do was Mike and Mike. Without the use of all the studio gadgets they would normally use, this tandem was horrific. Stuttering their way through the game as if they were a rookie quarterback facing the Steel Curtain or Doomsday Defense of old. The pair had no clue. I enjoy their radio/TV simulcast a great deal. There though they have a set schedule. Commercials and breaks are preset. Guest are determined days in advance and the script is pre-written. Live, unedited and off the cuff is not their forte. For the rest of my televised football life i can only hope I will never have to endure this team again. So Mike and Mike I have this for you. Stay in the Studio where you belong.

Dallas Cowboys, the day they became history
The year was 1964, the Dallas Cowboys had been in the league for only fours years, They had not had a winning year yet. The owner of the Cowboys had hired a defensive coach to be the first head coach in Cowboys history. After yet another losing year in 1963 Clint Murchison made a decision that to this day can be traced back to the defining moment in Dallas Cowboys history. He gave the head coach of the team a ten year contract extension. In the next ten years the Cowboys went on to win a Super Bowl and the NFC championship twice. He was named coach of the year three times in those ten years. This however is not the most notable of his achievements. Tom Landry, Cowboys head coach, invented the Flex Defense, a hybrid of the 4-3 defense he had also invented. This changed the game of football forever, not only cementing Ton Landry's legacy in Cowboys history but in the history of the NFL. He was the First football guru or genius or whatever todays hot new word would be for coaching greatness and still is one of the winningest coaches in professional football history. That is why 1964 was the day that changed history for the Dallas Cowboys and the National Football league. Everything todays great coaches know about defense starts and ends with the great Tom Landry.

Cowboys Wrap Up, OCB for week 1.
Dallas Cowboy fans have to be excited. I realize it was the Cleveland Browns but the Cowboys looked great on the offensive side of the ball. Tony Romo had yet another 300 yard game. Terrel Owens had almost 90 yeards and a beautiful 35 yard touchdown catch. Jason Witten and Partick Crayton held up there end as well, Witten almost 100 yards and Crayton topped 80. The offensive line bent a little as the game wore on but did not allow a sack and this gave Romo time to pick apart last years 30th ranked defense.
There was a down side to the victory though, Marion Barber was taken in for x-rays and will have an MRI on his ribs. Barber was running wild before the injury, 80 yards and 2 touchdowns. I will update his status tomorrow night. Though the injury was not a good start for the Cowboys we did get a look at the number one draft choice in Felix Jones. All I have to say is WOW. This kid is quick and with a 6.8 yards er carry average, he finds the holes and gets through them. Jones ended up with 62 yards and a touchdown. He seems to be the perfect compliment to Barber and the change of pace is exactly what all the Cowboys fans have been talking about since the draft.
On the defensive side of the ball, before the game Cowboys fans were concerned that the injuries would allow the Browns to get some deep plays. Well the cornerbacks bent but never broke. They held Derek Anderson to a meager 144 yards on 11 of 24 passes. No interception though. The defensive line showed they could stop the run as they held Cleveland's Jamal Lewis to just over 60 yards. They also gave up no rushing touchdowns.
The special team play. Well the kicking side was outstanding with Matt McBriar putting two out there with a 48.5 average and the punt return coverage allowed only 11 on the returns. Nick Folk did not have a field goal attempt, but the Cowboys did not need one. He did kick four PAT's on four attempts though. The kickoff and punt return teams were a big disappointment today though fans. Adam Jones had two chances and went nowhere. A total of eight yards, that is ludicrous and a fumble, he wants to be the next number 21 for the Dallas Cowboys he is going to have to show us something on special teams. I will say over all kickoff and punt coverage was good. There were no missed tackles and that is an improvement over the preseason.
I was impressed with the play of two young players today other than Felix Jones. Tashard Choice showed flashes on the running and receiving side of the offense. i also thought that Bobby Carpenter finally showed some promise, he was all over the field and had a couple of good stops. DeMarcus Ware and his draft mate Marcus Spears had a great game as well. I think that Spears is finally coming around and has learned his position well. I expect to see great things from him from here on out.
Over all I would say this was a great win fro the Cowboys and with the Eagles coming to town, the real test will come on Monday. Stay tuned. Let me hear your thoughts on the game Cowboys fans. The rode to the Super Bowl has begun.

Facial Hair Friday: The Enumerated Mustache
Don't be fooled by the sleepy demeanor of this mustachioed man. It's 1933, and the world is changing. And the Federal Government would be recording these changes on April 1, 1940.
Over 120,000 enumerators would fan out across 48 states and 2 territories, with copies of this Federal Decennial Census Population Schedule. They would use sled dogs in Alaska. They would go to homes in railroad cars. They would talk to famers, veterans, lodgers, women, and men.
They would count this man (and his 'stache) and anyone else at home at the time. And since he was a farmer, they would ask him 232 questions as part of the Farm Schedule.
And all this personal information on 132.2 million citizens been kept private and secure for the last 72 years.
But on Monday, April 2, at 9 a.m., we're releasing the 1940 census!
The 3.8 million images that make up the 1940 census will be available online to search for free at http://1940census.archives.gov/.
There are so many reasons that this is significant—it's the first time we are releasing our information online through a gov website. It's the first time there was a supplemental series of questions for 1 in 20 people. It's the first time that the census did not include a question asking … [ Read all ]

Thursday Photo Caption Contest
Although we were greatly amused by the suggestions of dam building, weather predictions, and rodent chili recipes, we eventually decided on Amy's caption, which combined the history of the Cilivian Conservation Corps with the Depression and managed to be funny!
Amy, check your email for your code for 15% off in our eStore!
So…are these Rodents of Unusual Size, groundhogs, or guinea pigs? Actually, they're beavers. The tail of the beaver on the far left is being held up by a man wearing gloves. The caption for this photo reads: "Civilian Conservation Corps in Idaho, Salmon National Forest: Camp F-167, 'CCC boys… ready to transplant Beaver from a ranch location where they were damaging crops to a Forest watershed location where they will help to conserve the water supply…', ca. 1938."
(Our own Archivist of the United States just blogged about his start at MIT, a school whose mascot is the beaver: "Nature's Engineer"!)
There are no animals in this week's photo…but something strange seems to be in the air. Tell us what's going on in the comments below!

December 1, 2015
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - An attorney has filed a federal court
motion seeking to force Jefferson County public schools to provide
data on enrollment and capacities in a few schools.
Attorney Teddy Gordon says some parents whose children were
denied transfers are trying to make sure they weren't turned down
because of race.
Gordon won a U-S Supreme Court case recently that forced the
state's largest school system to drop a racial integration plan.
The high court ruling led the school district to drop the use of
race in individual assignment decisions, including transfers.
His motion, filed yesterday, seeks grade-level capacity figures
at seven schools.
District data provided to The Courier-Journal of Louisville
shows all but one were full or overenrolled as of Tuesday. The
figures were not broken down by grade.
School district lawyer Frank Mellen says he plans to file a
response to Gordon's motion in the coming days.

AUTHOR: Adam M. Johnson
PUBLISHER: Self-published
GENRE: Humor, Historical Fiction
Princess Alethia may be the smartest of the King's offspring, but that doesn't mean she is going to inherit the throne. Instead, she is going to be married off to King Otto so that her father can reap the rewards of their union. Complete with cross-dressing princes and quick-witted stable boys, Loud, Disorderly and Boisterous is the comic tale of a princess's attempt to escape her arranged marriage. The schemes that Alethia and her companions dream up are off-the-wall, but due to the stupidity of their foes, they get out of one impossible situation after another.
Loud, Disorderly and Boisterous was a fun read, but it wasn't much deeper than that. In nearly every situation the smart "good guys" outwitted the stupid "bad guys" simply by playing off their extreme gullibility. The comedy was almost slapstick, and I had to remind myself numerous times that I was past suspension of disbelief and simply along for the ride. Still, I loved the strong and able-minded Alethia and rooted for her and her companions until the very end.
My biggest issue with the novel was the number-one self-publishing scourge: Adam needed to hire a professional editor. I usually forgive the self-published author for a typo or two, but Loud, Disorderly and Boisterous had more than its fair share of misplaced punctuation and missing letters. Additionally, Adam would have benefited from tightening his prose, and any decent editor would have helped him boil down his words.
I sincerely hope that Adam will consider releasing an updated version of Loud, Disorderly and Boisterous - one that has been combed over by an editor. Once that is done, fans of Dave Barry silliness and Monty Python slapstick will enjoy Loud, Disorderly and Boisterous. Until then, I suggest waiting to read Adam's next novel, which will hopefully be more carefully honed than his first. Although Adam does not market his novel as young adult, the content is perfectly acceptable and may appeal to a younger generation.
Please note: since this review was written, Loud, Disorderly and Boisterous was edited and updated. The new version should be much cleaner than the original.

Why Choose An Electronic Cigarette?
If you're a smoker, you've been hearing the lectures for a while now. In fact, you probably know them by heart by now. You're going to die of cancer! You're going to hurt the baby! Don't you want to be around to see your kids grow up? Don't you understand what a filthy habit that is? Then you're hounded over and over again about quitting and asked repeatedly why you still haven't done so despite being reminded of the dangers of smoking. The thing is though, you probably don't really want to quit. Sure, there are nicotine patches and gums you could use to get over the hump in regards to the cravings. However, none of the best known alternatives offer the satisfaction that smoking actually does.
By now, it's a familiar and comforting act – smoking that first cigarette when you get up in the morning… or right after a delicious meal. It's soothing, it's flavorful, and you enjoy every last second of it. You don't want to give it up… and these days, maybe you don't have to. An Electronic Cigarette Is a Great Alternative The days when the only alternative to smoking the traditional analog cigarettes that you're used to was quitting altogether are actually over. These days, there's a hot new option available to long-term smokers that offers them the best of both worlds and that's the smokeless cigarette!
Electronic cigarettes deliver the same nicotine fix that you've come to know and love when it comes to your old cigs. However, they do so without the associated health risks attached to standard smoking. Vapor smokeless cigarettes actually are exactly that. They don't produce smoke at all, but a rich, plentiful vapor instead that is infused with the same nicotine you want and need, but none of the harmful carcinogens, tars, and chemicals that standard tobacco cigarettes contain.
This being the case, they're also safe to use around other people – even children – without the usual dangers, worries, and risks associated with second hand smoke. They're also perfectly legal to smoke in public – even in the office, in restaurants, and at bars. They don't produce foul odors any more than they produce harmful smoke, so they won't bother or annoy other people in any way. A Whole New World of Variety Instead of burning through a fresh cigarette every time you smoke, you get your nicotine via replaceable cartridges. This allows you a previously unheard of degree of flexibility when it comes to your overall smoking experience. To begin with, you're able to choose the strength of your cartridge each and every time you smoke.
If quitting smoking altogether is your ultimate goal, you can easily downgrade the nicotine levels of the cartridges over time. However, you're also perfectly free to simply customize your smoking experience according to your desires and preferences at the time. The best electronic cigarettes these days also offer you plenty of options when it comes to the flavor of the rich vapor you'll enjoy. If you're a traditionalist who prefers to mirror the familiar act of smoking you already enjoy to the greatest extent possible, you can choose the standard tobacco flavor or the menthol. However, it's worth pointing out that you'll be able to step outside the box as well. Consider an alternative flavor like smooth vanilla, rich chocolate, or juicy cherry if you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary. Who knows! You just may decide that one of these alternative flavors is going to be your new mainstay.
Join a Blossoming Community People who are new to vaping via electronic cigarettes are often pleasantly surprised by one thing they never saw coming when they first started searching for the best smokeless cigarette or reading smokeless cigarette reviews – a large, bustling, and very friendly community of other people who are happy to make their acquaintance. The thing is that vaping is more than just a passable alternative to smoking analog cigarettes or even quitting smoking altogether. It's something that has the capacity to become the center of a whole new lifestyle.
Vapers consider themselves to be part of something special that makes them unique and adds color to their lives. They're really into being in the know when it comes to all the different e-cig brands out there and they delight in trying different flavors, different styles of cig, and sharing their findings with other people. That said, if you're thinking seriously about getting into electronic cigarettes and vaping, you might really benefit from joining an electronic cigarette forum that's active… or searching the web for some of the many user maintained smokeless cigarette blogs that exist. They're definitely out there! Not only will you find valuable user reviews in regards to the hottest e-cig brands, but you'll also quite possibly make some terrific new friends. You'll become privy to a number of different tips, tricks, and hints as to how to get the most out of your vaping experience, care for your e-cigarettes, and more. The Hottest Gadget You Don't Own All in all, electronic cigarettes are considered by cultural experts to be one of the next big things when it comes to convenient electronic gadgets that you simply must own.
They're already all the rage in Hollywood when it comes to celebs who were once well known for their heavy smoking. They're also considered trendy fashion accessories when it comes to many as well. Not only are they safe and healthy, they're relatively inexpensive in comparison to standard cigarettes. They're convenient, as you simply need to charge a battery before use in the same way you would before using your cell phone or your iPod. They're also great fun to use, taking the melancholy out of the "quit smoking" movement once and for all. In the end, the reasons to make the switch to one of today's smokeless cigarettes are myriad. Join the millions of users who love the experience so much that they honestly don't even miss standard cigarettes!

On Tuesday, the newsroom at the Detroit Free Press took part in and was the scene of a wedding proposal, Catherine Taibi wrote Wednesday in the Huffington Post. Deadline Detroit's Allan Lengel wrote about Marcel Cohen's proposal to reporter Zlati Meyer on Tuesday.
He proposed in front of about 100 people in the newsroom around 4 p.m. And oh by the way, Meyer said yes.
Thinking of a newsroom proposal yourself? Here are a few tips on pulling it off, gleaned from people who have already pulled it off.
1. Add music: Newsroom sounds aren't romantic. They're mostly clacking keyboards and noisy scanners and meeting editors and disgruntled mumbles. Or silence. For his proposal Tuesday, Cohen brought in a jazz singer.
2. Strategically leak the news: Would journalists even get up from their desks to witness an impromptu proposal? Maybe. If there is cake. But involve them in it before hand, and you have a group of people willing to hand out roses, like in Detroit, or in the case of a March proposal at the Los Angeles Times, just witness it. The proposal, which was planned and staff did know about, happened during a newsroom tour and wasn't between journalists.
Laura Nelson, a transportation reporter at the Times, told Poynter in an e-mail that no one at the Times knows the couple. "They're just two people who really love their local paper."
3. Live happily ever after. As long as you're OK with late nights alone in the newsroom where it all started. For Valentine's Day this year, Poynter talked with lots of couples who are both journalists about the best and worst of that arrangement. Among the worsts were lots of canceled plans.
"Our plans or date nights sometimes have to change on a whim if news breaks," Holly Taylor, associate art director at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, told Poynter in February for that story. Taylor is married to Nate Taylor, a sports reporter at The New York Times.
If proposing in the newsroom isn't your style, consider these alternatives:
Propose through the newspaper: That's become an annual thing at The Toronto Star.
This year, they took the proposal online.
Create an infographic: In 2012, Drake Martinet, then at AllThingsD.com, (now with VICE News) made a visualization of his feelings for Stacy Green, now chief marketing officer at Mashable. She said yes. Later, Poynter reported, they made a GIF.

|The seasonality of acute coronary syndrome and its relations with climatic parameters.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20825896 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|BACKGROUND: Most research on the seasonality of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been were reported from hospital-based data. We aimed to investigate the seasonal distribution of ACS in Beijing and to elucidate the relations between ACS occurrence and climatic parameters in a prehospital setting.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the electronic prehospital medical records from the Beijing's emergency medical service system spanning August 1, 2005, to July 31, 2007. Case data were analyzed by month and season with χ(2) test. The effects of climatic factors on the occurrence of ACS were analyzed by Poisson regression with generalized linear model.
RESULTS: During the 2-year study period, a total of 7037 ACS events were identified, including 4135 male patients (58.8%) and 2902 female patients (41.2%). Significant variations were observed in the monthly (P < .001) and seasonal (P < .001) distribution of ACS. The highest seasonal incidence occurred in winter and lowest in autumn. Significant negative correlations were noticed between the number of ACS events and daily mean temperature (P < .001) and between the number of ACS events and barometric pressure (P < .001). Comparing to the baseline level (temperature of 25°C to approximately 31°C; barometric pressure of 1026 to approximately 1048 hectopascal (hPa)), an increase of 41.3% of daily ACS incidence was associated with temperature lower than 2°C (-10.0°C to approximately 2.0°C), and an increase of 19.8% was associated with barometric pressure under 1006 hPa (991.0 to approximately 1006 hPa).
CONCLUSIONS: There are clear monthly and seasonal rhythms of ACS in Beijing metropolitan area. Temperature and barometric pressure are negatively related with the occurrence of ACS.

Storms Packing High Winds, Hail Rake Indiana
Created by kblakeslee on 7/10/2013 2:51:28 PM
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ Severe thunderstorms across Indiana have prompted a flood warning and left thousands of customers without power.
The National Weather Service posted a flood warning for northern Carroll County in north central Indiana Wednesday afternoon after radar indicated slow-moving storms would dump up to 2{ inches of rain on that area.
High winds were downing trees and power lines across western and southwestern Indiana. Duke Energy reported more than 18,000 customers had lost power, including nearly 7,000 in the Terre Haute area.
The weather service says authorities and a trained spotter estimated wind gusts of 60 mph near Switz City, west of Bloomington, and in Whitley County, west of Fort Wayne.

The name alone signifies style and luxury, designer handbags and fabulous shoes. Born nearly a century ago, the house of prada is recognized worldwide for its simple and elegant creations. Mario prada started the prada label in 1913. He designed and sold handbags, shoes, trunks, and suitcases though two boutiques in milan, and had clients across europe and the us. When the signature prada suitcase, made from heavy, cumbersome walrus skin, proved to be ill suited for air travel, prada concentrated on designing exquisite leather accessories and waterproof handbags. In 1978, mario's granddaughter, miuccia prada, took over the company. Miuccia was a former mime who had spent five years studying at milan's teatro piccolo, and had a phd in political science. Although her qualifications didn't seem appropriate, her sense of fashion was unmistakable. The label was still mainly a leather goods manufacturer at that point, and had been struggling financially for several years. Competition from other fashion houses like gucci had taken its toll. Miuccia turned things around and steered the house of prada towards the world of haute couture. About the same time as she took the helm of the prada label, miuccia married patrizio bertelli. Bertelli took on the role of business manager, allowing miuccia to focus on designing and perfecting the new prada look. Miuccia had been making black waterproof backpacks since 1970, out of a nylon fabric called "pocone". She unveiled the classic prada handbag which was simple, sleek, black nylon, and in 1985 it became an overnight sensation. The bag was functional and sturdy, practical and fashionable. The high price tag that accompanied the handbags caused an onslaught of designer knock-offs, which only helped to make the genuine prada articles more in demand. In the 1980's, other labels were creating designs that played on sexuality. Frilly, lacy, brightly colored garments that were low cut on top and short on the bottom were popular. Prada hit the runway in 1989 with its pret-a-porter collection, with elegant, simple pieces featuring clean lines, luxurious fabrics, and basic colors. The fashion world took notice, and prada's popularity skyrocketed. About us payment shipping terms returns about us dear valued customer. Please take a moment to read a little bit about us.

Langkawi, Malaysia - accomodation question

Hey all,
Haven't been on the board in a long time as recently Travelfish has been blocked in China. However, at a friend's place with a VPN so need to ask some advice as I'm preparing for my Spring Festival trip to Langkawi.
A couple questions:
1) What is the advice for things to do in Langkawi - I'm guessing beach, would like to hear any good ideas.
2) We've been recommended to stay at Panang Cenang. However, it sounds like that is the central beach, not very quiet. If you know of any cheaper accommodations on that beach that you would return to yourself I'd love to get the names. However, if you have any other beaches that can be had for a reasonable price (really looking to spend between 20 - 50 USD a night - ideally under 40) I'd appreciate hearing about it.
Appreciate any help,

Besides beaches you could try cable car for a change. You can have great view from the hill top. Apart from sea water there is also a fresh water pond in Pulau Dayang Bunting for you to have a try.
There are other beach more quite like Pantai Kok & Tanjung Rhu.
Best of luck!

I like Cenang - although it's the main beach, my two high season visits have not seen it overcrowded. Some good value beachfront places are AB Motel, Sandy Bay, Sunset Beach and Malibest. Whole bunch of cheap places up lanes inland from the beach road at the north-west end too.
You might check Agoda etc for Boutique Resort across the road from the beach - although lower midrange I got it for a pretty low price last trip.
Tengah is the adjacent beach - pretty nice but quieter. Good value places include Tropical Resort and Zachry's.

Oh yeah, things to do.
Yep, the cable car is good value. The cultural village at the foot is okay. Nearby Seven Wells waterfalls area is sweet if you are fit and a visit to stunning white sand Tanjung Ruh beach is nice.

I was booking over a month ago and found that AB, Sunset and others were filled up already - so if you want to go during Chinese New Year make sure to book well in advance. We ended up finding a place on the beach though - used Agoda, hadn't ever tried it out until this trip and a must recommend, better than trip advisor.
Thanks for the heads up on stuff to do.

Agree with tezza, I always stay with AB Motel, last year they beach view room where 120RM and those on the other side of the road 60RM.
A tip, rental price on sunbed extremely high, 10RM/day. Staying more than 5 days you better of buying or bringing your own sunchair.
The 4 Island trip arranged by almost all agencies are nice, and if you never met wild monkey Langkawi is the place. If you're lucky you can see the shy leaf hangers too.
A boat trip in the mangrove is nice, or rent a kajak and padle by your selves.
Please avoid the paraflying on the beach. They to not pay any attention to other guests swimming or sunbathing on the beach, and if you're not alert you have someone falling over you. We noticed one serious accident and a few minor ones last february.
Changing books are cheap, specially non-english, you pay 2RM only when exchange 1-1
