Hey, I'm Jordan!
I live in Oakland with my partner Hank and my dog Baxter -- a Humane Society rescue.
I'm a Campaign Manager with CREDO Action, a division of CREDO Mobile. (Previously, our company was known as Working Assets -- perhaps you had our long distance service when that was still a thing?) We're a cell phone company that donates part of our revenue to progressive non-profits and organizations. I specifically do email campaigning for progressive causes, to try and defeat the Tea Party, protect the social safety net, and expanding equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people.
I've only lived in the Bay Area for a few months, but I already love it. Previously, I lived in DC and worked for the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (the folks who "drafted' Elizabeth Warren to run for Senate, and raised over a million dollars for her campaign to defeat Scott Brown), and before that I lived in Los Angeles for four years.
I went to Hendrix College, which is an incredibly liberal small college in Conway, Arkansas. I've worked at Walt Disney World, traveled to Europe (castles & cathedrals!), and been to over 40 states in the continental US.
I love to read, and I'm an avid Star Trek fan. Geeky fact: I run one of the oldest online Star Trek collaborative fiction groups. (Think of it like Dungeons and Dragons for Star Trek.) My favorite TV shows are currently Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and Downton Abbey. My favorite music artists are Alanis Morissette, Tori Amos, Madonna, M83, Loreena McKennitt, and Florence + the Machine.

The Consequences of Misunderstanding the Middle East

Why Sending Weapons to Ukraine Would be a Terrible Idea for the US
Oct 27, 2014
"The Ukraine Freedom Support Act grants permission to send Ukraine a variety of weapons, ammunition, and specialized equipment to fill gaps in its current military's capabilities.

Commencement 2015 has come to an end, and as now-former students—alumni—look ahead to what's to come, they'll cherish some of those little moments of what has passed.
Getting to Commencement can mean some extra hurdles for veterans. Thankfully, at Michigan Tech, there are helping hands along the way.
Just a couple of weeks ago, they were building statues and sculptures. This week they're building something that will last well beyond the first warmth of spring.
The All-Nighter is not sand castles on the beach. It isn't shorts and a t-shirt. Because it wouldn't be anything if it was.
Commencement is one of the days where you can't have enough memories. It's years and years of work, dedication, and support, all compressed into two hours. These are a few additional written snapshots from December 20, 2014.

A legend in her own time both for her brilliant poetry and for her resistance to oppression, Anna Akhmatova—denounced by the Soviet regime for her "eroticism, mysticism, and political indifference"—is one of the greatest Russian poets of the twentieth century.
Before the revolution, Akhmatova was a wildly popular young poet who lived a bohemian life. She was one of the leaders of a movement of poets whose ideal was "beautiful clarity"—in her deeply personal work, themes of love and mourning are conveyed with passionate intensity and economy, her voice by turns tender and fierce. A vocal critic of Stalinism, she saw her work banned for many years and was expelled from the Writers' Union—condemned as "half nun, half harlot." Despite this censorship, her reputation continued to flourish underground, and she is still among Russia's most beloved poets.
Here are poems from all her major works—including the magnificent "Requiem" commemorating the victims of Stalin's terror—and some that have been newly translated for this edition.
About the Author
Nancy K. Anderson is an independent scholar. She is a highly regarded translator of Russian poetry, including Yale University Press's translation of Alexander Pushkin's "Little Tragedies, and has taught courses in Russian, Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky at Yale University.
D. M. Thomas, the author of numerous novels, including the bestselling "The White Hotel," lives in England.

Jeff Erdmann was pumped when Merrill Lynch sent him to Hawaii in 1990 as a reward for pulling in dozens of new clients. When he returned, he recalls, he bragged to a prospective client about the trip and his big roster of 550 customers. But as the words came out, he suddenly realized they were all wrong. "She didn't want to hear how many other clients I had," he says.
Then and there, Erdmann resolved not only to change his pitch but to scale back the number of investors he served. "I ultimately decided I needed to shrink to grow," he says. "I had too many clients, and I couldn't impact all of their lives." As the years went by, he took on fewer but wealthier clients, and brought in talented partners to help. Today, the Greenwich, Conn.-based advisor and his 19-member team handle some $4.5 billion in assets for 140 families; the median account is $31 million.
The approach has worked well for both Erdmann and his clients. The team's assets under management have climbed nearly 30% during the past three years, the result of both strong performance and additional investments by new and existing clients. That has helped make Erdmann a fixture onBarron's annual listing of America's Top 100 Financial Advisors. Currently ranked No. 13, he is one of the few advisors to land on the list every year since we launched it in 2005.
The mission: "We're trying to help families make rational decisions in irrational times." Matthew Furman
At Merrill Lynch, which he joined 28 years ago as a college senior, Erdmann is now much in demand as a coach for other advisors. A recent morning in Greenwich found him meeting with 14 advisors who had flown in from Florida and Georgia.
He addressed the group in clear terms: "We're trying to help families make rational decisions in irrational times." That means advisors have to roll up their shirt sleeves and help on everything from asset allocation to setting up trusts to refinancing mortgages. No task should be considered too small. Erdmann has won wealthy clients by taking on just their checking accounts. The more significant assets usually followed.
ERDMANN, WHO TURNS 50 next month, believes that financial advice has never been more important: "All of us baby boomers are yearning for investment income. And we need it for retirement."
Bonds are no longer the easy solution for that, given an inevitable spike in interest rates from today's record lows. "We were all told by our parents to sell stocks and buy bonds as you got older," says Erdmann. "It was a great idea for 40 years. It's a terrible idea for the next 40 years."
"When you think about where you get your performance in the next three to five years, we think equities win by default," he says. Stocks make up 55% of the team's asset allocation.

Together, those stocks yield an average of 3.29%, versus 2.09% for the same companies' 10-year bonds. The favorable tax treatment for dividends makes the disparity even greater. After tax, the stocks have a net yield of 2.79%, versus 1.36% for the bonds, which are taxed as ordinary income.
"Companies are trading at almost half the valuations they were at the beginning of 2000," Erdmann says in another argument for stocks. "They have more cash on their books than they've ever had. And all that we've been promised with new technology has made these companies much more efficient and productive."
One of Erdmann's core equity holdings is the PowerShares S&P 500 Low-Volatility Portfolio splv 0.3356571133488252% PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio U.S.: NYSE Arca 38.86 0.13 0.3356571133488252% /Date(1448650800000-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 485030 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.0816263510036026% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (SPLV). The ETF tracks the 100 lowest-volatility stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500. It has a current yield of 2.9%.
For bonds, now 25% of the team's holdings, Erdmann over the past two years has been shifting some money from top-quality munis to ones with somewhat higher yields. He has also been picking up corporate and overseas bonds. He has put about 10% of the typical portfolio into alternative assets like hedge funds.
In the old days, Erdmann told the visiting advisors, it was enough to put your nose to the grindstone. "Today you can't just work hard; you have to work a lot smarter because of the complexity of the global markets."
Judging by the 35 thank-you notes adorning the walls of his team's kitchen, Erdmann is meeting the demands with room to spare.

A woman's torso is photographed from behind, her head bent forward so drastically that only an insignificant mound of shadowy flesh represents the place where it logically should be. The soft spread of her buttocks forming a clean line across the seat makes her legs appear truncated; her remaining body is neatly sliced off and placed upon a kind of pedestal, transformed into a piece of abstract sculpture bearing little resemblance to a human form. Edward Weston's sharp-focus photograph carefully outlines the body and simultaneously conveys its disparate abstract beauty.

Horoscopes by Holiday for December 1
It's an eventful time in the heavens. The full moon in Gemini brings a release. Communication and daily proceedings that were on hold will now progress. Uranus, the rebel of the zodiac, decides to stop all the retrograde madness and start transiting forward. In what aspect of your life would you like to do the same? Bust a move!
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The pressure is on, but that's where you shine brightest. With the clock ticking, everyone watching and the whole team counting on you — that's just how you like it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your gift for prediction is uncanny. You seem to know where things are headed — relationships and jobs particularly — long before everyone else does. This kind of knowledge reflects a deeply intuitive and very helpful gift.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). While some around you will be fascinated with vapid, transitory things, for you the important stuff is what doesn't change: who you love and your spirituality for starters. Today you'll tend toward seeing the long term in everything.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will rein in some of the extreme behavior of your youth. The deep plummets aren't worth the breathtaking heights. The trade-off for stability is more than worth it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There's nothing wrong with going against the flow, as you well know. You won't feel like being a follower today. You'll prefer to make your own fun in your own time rather than have your pleasure dictated to you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are the first to be called on by a friend in need. There are two reasons for this: One is your loyalty and genuine desire to help, and the other is your extraordinary resourcefulness. You come up with quick answers that work.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You remember a time when big projects seemed like insurmountable mountains, but through determination and experience, you now see them as highly rewarding opportunities. This is a sign of your maturity and tenaciousness.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Never satisfied with "good enough," you put everything you have into a project and aim for the best. It's not really something you choose to do. It's just that the pursuit of perfection is basic to your personality.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are yearning for something new. Just what, you can't say, but a fuzzy outline is beginning to take shape in your mind. Don't strain yourself to see it more clearly; it will come of its own accord.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll get highly favorable reviews. You're not putting on a show or doing anything calculated, you're just being yourself. Being your natural self is a harder thing to do than most people think — thus the good press.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are often sensitive to other people's feelings, even to the point of reading their moods in a gesture. Today your intuition is even more keen than usual, especially in regards to a Cancer person.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 1). You will be looking and feeling fantastic. With steady progress through the next two months, your habits support your image of who you want to be. This month you'll meet someone who understands you and can help you develop your talents. The end of January brings romance. February's business idea is a winner. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 33, 4, 17 and 40.
HOW TO GET THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS WITH GRACE: As the sign of relationships, balance and harmony, LIBRA tends to have natural grace in even the most chaotic scenarios. So the prospect of the high-pressured holidays doesn't seem as daunting to Libra as it might to other signs. When various mishaps occur, from family feuds to leaden fruitcakes or gifts that quickly join the re-gift pile, Libra simply takes it in stride. One of the ways Libra maintains a positive outlook is by simplifying holiday proceedings. There is typically much to choose from during the holidays — where to go, who to see, what to bring, send, craft, cook, buy… And since decision-making isn't really a strong suit for the sign of the scales, simplifying the options is a must. Libra does well to adhere to some personal rules for guidance. For instance: Only say "yes" to the events you really, really, really want to attend. And: Allot a certain budget for gift buying, and stay in the limits. Once a few rules are established, Libra can relax and let the natural charm and grace he or she was born with shine through.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: This provocative fire sign is adept at igniting rumors, causing a commotion and living in the center of the circus.

Hi Tobias
It is quite a long time since I have had to edit a table but now I want to change some of the details. Quite a few of my tables have several hundred rows but I have two which are a bit smaller.
When I edit a table it is so slow that it is now unworkable. In the past it has been ok. One of the messages that appears is the responsive message (and whether to kill or not). Whatever I decide to click on it just freezes. I have tried editing from two different laptops from two different locations and the effect is the same.
I hope you can help with this issue. At the moment I can't edit any table. I wonder if I have to start again and have less hidden columns from the imported csv file?

Acer Sets Sights on Apple, HTC After HP Chase Stumbles
Gianfranco Lanci tried to make Acer Inc. the world's largest laptop maker by outselling Hewlett-Packard Co. The board says he should have set his sights on Apple Inc. and HTC Corp. instead.
The rift led to Lanci quitting yesterday as chief executive officer of the Taiwanese computer maker, Chief Financial Officer Tu Che-min said in an interview today. The company plans to name a new president this month and Acer is seeking to be a leading player in smartphones and tablets, he said.
As Acer reels from its worst weekly stock plunge in almost a decade, the board faces the challenge of finding a leader able to reinvent the company into a developer of products that can challenge Apple and HTC from being a volume-driven maker of commoditized computers. The shift in strategy means spending on research and development will increase, Tu said.
"For Acer, and other PC makers in general, the way to create value is to innovate and find new markets and opportunities, and that's a big challenge," said Simon Ye, an analyst at research company Gartner Inc. in Shanghai. "Acer's problem is that it is commonly perceived as a brand that competes on price, and that doesn't help profitability."
The shares fell 4.8 percent to close at NT$57.10 in Taipei trading, capping a 22 percent rout since the company on March 25 slashed its first-quarter sales forecast. Brokerages from CLSA Ltd. to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. cut their ratings on the stock to sell in the past week.
As conventional laptops lose their appeal to new-generation devices such as handheld computers with touch screens, companies such as Acer may need to focus more on developing tablet computers to boost profits, analysts said.
"There is a concern at Acer about profit margins," said Dean Lim, who rates Acer shares "reduce" at Mirae Asset Securities in Hong Kong. "If they can increase sales of tablets, that will help improve the profit margins."
Chairman J.T. Wang will temporarily take over the chief executive officer's role from Lanci, the company said. Walter Deppeler -- president of the Europe, Middle East and Africa operations -- and procurement head Jim Wong are frontrunners to succeed Lanci, according to Macquarie Group Ltd. Acer's Tu declined to identify any candidates.
The Taiwanese PC maker is realigning its business to focus on profitability, instead of sales volumes, spokesman Henry Wang said today. Lanci quit after a slump in Acer's stock this year, the most in the MSCI AC Asia Pacific excluding Japan Information Technology Index, as a focus on low-cost laptops eroded profit margins.
Profit Margin
Apple, maker of the iPad tablet, iPhone and iMac computer had a 21.5 percent profit margin in its last fiscal year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Acer had 2.3 percent.
"There is good consensus among the board members that the tablet is the way to go," CFO Tu said by phone today. Previously, the company's goal was to boost shipments of notebook computers to increase market share, he said.
The board and Lanci "placed different levels of importance on scale, growth, customer value creation, brand position enhancement, and on resource allocation and methods of implementation," Acer said in a statement yesterday. Calls to Lanci's Taipei office yesterday weren't answered and e-mails to his Acer account bounced back.
Rising Costs
Acer in January reported fourth-quarter profit that missed analysts' estimates after revenue fell 11 percent.
The company last month started sales of its Iconia tablet, more than a year after the unveiling of the Apple iPad.
"We think Acer inevitably will see rising research and development expenses," Nomura Holdings Inc. analyst Eve Jung wrote in a report today. "Acer plans to focus more on product innovation to face growing competition from Apple's iPad 2."
Acer overtook Dell Inc. as the world's second-largest maker of PCs in 2009 as the company boosted overseas sales through the acquisitions of Gateway and Packard Bell.
Lanci, who had been president of the company since 2005, also oversaw Acer as it capitalized on the boom in demand for sub-$500 laptops, known as netbooks, after the worst global financial crisis since World War II prompted consumers to buy cheaper computers. Apple's iPad starts at $499 in the U.S.
The focus on netbooks cost Acer last year as Apple' iPad gave consumers an alternative product to a low-end laptop. Acer's market share of the PC market fell to 12.7 percent in the fourth quarter, down from 13.3 percent a year earlier, according to estimates by research firm Gartner Inc.

My husband got out of work early that day. It was a day of celebration for us. Our boy's lung was "healed" and he was no longer just "stable". He was improving!
It was a huge milestone and success. Seeing our boy with one less tube in his frail body was invigorating. We had been so sad and felt lost for what seemed like a lifetime. For me, my world was at a stand still. But here he was, getting better. It felt like the conveyor belt of life start moving again. It meant that he was one tiny step closer to coming home.
We knew that he still had many more obstacles to overcome. At this point he was eight days old. His birth weight was 3 lbs. 12 oz.. Due to his collapsed lung and subsequent chest tube, he was unable to be fed. Even by tube. He had yet to learn the taste of breastmilk or formula. He was subsisting on IV fluids being injected into his tiny veins. He lost weight and dwindled down to 2 lbs 10 oz.. He had lost more than a whole pound!
Little Mister still had to learn how to breathe on his own. He was still very much dependent on the ventilator.
His body needed to learn how to self regulate it's temperature, therefore he still required the warmth of the incubator.
His brain, lungs and heart needed to find their life sustaining rhythms. His brain would "forget" to send signals to his lungs to make him breathe. His brain would "forget" to send signals to his heart to make it beat.
He still had so much more healing and growing that he needed to do before we could even begin to hope that he would come home soon. But we took that day as a day of victory and celebration. It was a step closer to us being able to bring him home. Being weaned off of the chest tube was a monumental task for him to have achieved. His little body has already been so battered and been through such awful trauma, and he was overcoming an awesome feat for someone who weighed less than 3 lbs and was only on this earth for one week.
He is my warrior, my fighter, my champion and a survivor!
He is my son!
There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with. ~ Marcus Aurelius

First France qualifies for the Cup by Thierry Henry handling the ball not once but twice before passing the winning goal against Ireland. This was in November 2009. Fast forward to yesterday, where England is denied a clear, undisputable goal against Germany. A couple of hours after that, Argentina scores against Mexico by a player who was apparently born offside and left there.
That's only for starters, earlier Cup rounds saw a bunch other refereeing failures. I'm sure Sepp Blatter of FIFA has been happy to view this parade of "human element" from his coffin err... I mean the VIP stand. Nobody should accuse FIFA for not being responsive though. In a classic red herring move they confirmed today they'll start an "investigation" with Adidas regarding the design of the official and much flamed Jabulani World Cup ball.
How difficult was it to adopt technical measures to help referees in other sports? Hockey and tennis, or even freakin' ski jumping come to mind. Has anyone complained about the loss of human element (i.e. umpire mistakes) there?

How quickly things can turn around. After so much talk about the Yankees lack of production with runners in scoring position, they went 5 for 13 in those situations in an 11-5 win over the Angels on Sunday to take two of three against the Halos.
Every Yankee in the starting lineup either scored or drove in a run, with six different Bombers finishing with at least one RBI. Make no mistake about it - this is still one of the most potent lineups in baseball.
The LoHud Yankees Blog has details on the Yankees's 11-5 win over the Angels.

Bodybuilding is a sacred practice for many especially those who want fitness as a way of their life. It is also associated with self-expression. The real challenge is not just to build muscle, but to have the will to do it organically. If you adopt any shortcut or go for a quick-fix solution, then the results won't be long lasting and may even have adverse effect on your health.
Considering these factors, it is always advisable to practice bodybuilding as a mid-term to a long term goal. There can be many approaches to training and working out depending on the body type, goals, time available and so on. generally speaking, an aspirant should begin with weight loss and fitness targets, and move on gaining muscles gradually.
Here are a few workout tips for bodybuilding:
1) Seek professional advice
It is always advisable to take seek professional guidance in planning your bodybuilding schedule. This would help you stay away from the wrong path. Most of us think not from our mind but from the standpoint of our hopes and desires. This can be disastrous as physical world is governed by the laws of nature and your body won't grow overnight just because you want it to.
2) Set a clear goal
If you can think it right, then it is highly probable that you can execute it right. In fact, divide the plan in sub-plans and be specific even with day by day goals. Like your weight loss or gain targets. Therefore, make sure every step you take is planned. Here are a few good articles on goal setting, make sure to check them out!
3) Have an aggressive state of mind
Complacency undermines any type of goals or objectives we make. There are times during exercise when your body tells you that you have had enough for the day. But if that extra effort is still pending, then don't give in. In fact as soon as you enter the gym, go for the gold and begin with the regimen without any ado. However, this is said in good faith and if your body gives some alarm signals then talk it over with your trainer.
4) Goals first, socialising later
And neither is gym a place for socialising. It is utterly important to aspire for fulfilling your goal of bodybuilding first. A lot of people go to gym and end up with a lot of friends who are not helpful in reaching for pursuing the goal of building body. Make sure you go to gym for achieving your goal and not socialising.
Take care of nutrition
Along with burning fat and then building muscles, it is of utmost importance that you supplement it with the right kind of nutrition. The body needs carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins to function properly. Ask your trainer for the right kind of nutrition to consume before and after exercise and/or consult a decent book about bodybuilding nutrition.
Depending on your body weight, type and goal, the trainer would suggest you something.
Generally it is advisable to consume some carbohydrates and proteins about 2 hours before exercising. However, it could vary from person to person depending on various factors. The objective of nutrition is twofolds, one is to make you spend more energy by a tough workout and second is to restore the required amount. Though they may sound contradicting but that is the way it works.
Self-motivation: Tell yourself you can do it
Sometimes we get lost in our own thoughts and after working out for a few days realize that bodybuilding is not for me. In this situation, you need motivation. For this, you can self-motivate yourself by repeating your mind or speaking out loud that, 'I can build any type of body I want to'. This message could vary depending on your goal or challenge you are facing, but it is tried and tested method of self-motivation.
Follow bodybuilding rules and guidelines
Some over enthusiastic aspirants overdo things and end up holding the wrong end of the stick. To make sure you are not that person, listen to the trainer's advice. Improvisation with exercises can be done once you gain some experience. Before it, stick to the rulebook.
To build muscle, you will need a lot of training, self discipline and overcoming the natural instincts of your body. You can begin with a fitness plan, and gradually gain muscle without hurting your body. If you try to gain muscle even without getting fit first, then it would be disastrous. And above all, a positive frame of mind can take you a long way.

Propaganda was a system used by various governments to sway the opinions of the public in their favor.
Nearly all major governments, including the Galactic Republic, Confederacy of Independent Systems, Rebel Alliance, and the Galactic Empire, made use of propaganda. For example, the Rebel Alliance used the Destruction of Alderaan as anti-Imperial propaganda, and the Republic used the exploits of the Jedi hero Anakin Skywalker as propaganda.
A propaganda poster was a type of a placard or advertisement used by governments to transmit propaganda messages—such as justifying involvement to its citizens, ensuring recruitment or procuring money and resources to sustain the war effort. The Rebel Alliance made use of such placards during the Galactic Civil War.[1]
The Meatlumps employed the use of propaganda in the form of graffiti, and the printing of manifestos which promoted their views.
During the Empire Day festivities of 1 ABY, Brenn Tantor employed Imperials to tear down Rebel propaganda posters which proclaimed, "Remember Alderaan", and put up posters which promoted the Empire. The Rebels struck back by graffiti-tagging the Imperial posters.
In some cases, propaganda can also be used to make a person, namely a leader more appealing in appearance than he actually is, which is often done by state-run media. In the Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide, the picture of Palpatine depicted him in his Clone Wars-era appearance while listing him as the Emperor at the time the image was taken.[2]

what better way to completely shake a country up and make hugely unpopular life changing decisions than to get someone like boris who has endeared himself to the masses to do it? the plan is so simple it's brilliant.
make man look like an idiot and a clown, get everyone to love him, slowly work him through the system and then boom, when he reaches the top let his true character and nature come out.
i'm just shocked and suprised so many are falling for it.

All eyes on Tucson as Oregon hits road
David Fox
Rivals.com College Football Staff Writer
Big 12
Big East
Big Ten
Overview: Even if the Pac-10 had a full schedule this week, all eyes would be on Tucson, Ariz., where Oregon will face Arizona. QB Dennis Dixon and the Ducks will hope to reverse a Thursday night trend. Thursday-night TV games have been unkind to No. 2 teams and Heisman hopefuls this season. Three ranked teams have lost at Arizona in the past three years: No. 25 Arizona State in 2004 (34-27), No. 7 UCLA in 2005 (52-17) and No. 8 Cal (24-20) last season,
Best matchup: Arizona QB Willie Tuitama vs. Oregon's secondary. The "Air Zona" offense finally is starting to click, with the Wildcats scoring 82 points and putting up 1,004 total yards in the past two games (against Washington and UCLA). Oregon's talented defense has given up yards to opponents, but ask Rudy Carpenter (nine sacks), Mark Sanchez (two interceptions) and Alex Brink (two interceptions, 6.5 sacks) how tough the Ducks can be on opposing quarterbacks.
The pressure is on: Washington State and Arizona. With two games remaining for each team, both the Cougars and Wildcats need to win out for bowl eligibility. With two Pac-10 teams likely to play in the BCS and Stanford and Washington already eliminated from bowl contention, a .500 record might be enough for a bowl bid. The road is toughest, though, for the Wildcats, who must defeat No. 2 Oregon and No. 8 Arizona State for its first bowl trip since 1998. Washington State's road is slightly less challenging, with Oregon State and Washington standing between the Cougars and their first bowl since 2003.
Who's hot: Arizona QB Willie Tuitama has thrown eight touchdown passes and one interception in the past two games. The Wildcats have scored a combined 82 points in those two games. � Washington State WR Brandon Gibson has caught 11 passes for 289 yards in his past two games. � Cal TB Justin Forsett has rushed for 296 yards and three touchdowns in the past two games. � Oregon SS Patrick Chung has 28 tackles in his past two games. � Washington State FS Abdullah Husain has 28 tackles in his past two games to go with an interception return for a touchdown last week against Stanford.
Who's not: Cal QB Nate Longshore has thrown eight interceptions in his past four games and is coming off a 13-of-29 performance against USC. � Oregon State has allowed 18 sacks in the past three games.
Keep your eye on: Washington State QB Alex Brink and his Washington State teammates must win their final two games to reach bowl eligibility. That's a possibility with a home game against Oregon State followed by the Apple Cup against Washington. The Cougars could be helped Saturday when Brink takes on an Oregon State secondary depleted by injury and two first-half suspensions. Brink went over the 3,000-yard mark for the season last week by going 32-of-47 for 449 yards against Stanford.
Numbers game: Arizona defeated Oregon 37-10 last year in Autzen Stadium, but Ducks have won seven of the past eight in the series. � Arizona K Jason Bondzio has converted all seven of his field-goal attempts between 40 and 49 yards. � UCLA's Matthew Slater has returned three kickoffs for touchdowns this year, a Bruins career record.
Injury update: Washington QB Jake Locker, who was taken to the hospital and returned in a neck brace following a vicious hit in the Oregon State loss, could return as soon as this week. Coach Tyrone Willingham says there's "always a shot he will play." Locker said it was "not out of the realm of possibility" he would return. Willingham said tests revealed nothing negative and Locker is ahead of schedule. � Oregon State QB Sean Canfield, who didn't play last week against Washington, could miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. � Washington State TE Jed Collins (ankle sprain) is probable for this week. � Both USC and Arizona State will rest their quarterbacks during the off-week before the two teams face each other on Thanksgiving. The Trojans' John David Booty (finger) and the Sun Devils' Rudy Carpenter (thumb) have played despite injuries. � UCLA expects TB Chris Markey (toe) when it plays Oregon on Nov. 24. Third-string QB Osaar Rasshan is expected to start again for the Bruins because of injuries to Ben Olson and Patrick Cowan. � Cal TB Jahvid Best (hip) will not play against Washington. � Oregon State CB Keenan Lewis (knee) will start though he is not at full strength. DE Dorian Smith (knee) is 50/50 after missing last week's game.

"My history with the BCS is not very good. It was frustrating because in 2001 we should have been in the (national) championship game, and in 2005 we should have been in a BCS game and we weren't in either. I don't have a lot of trust in that regard."� Oregon coach Mike Bellotti
"It's really unfair to pile on a college quarterback who is competing the way Nate is competing and who has done so much for us. I thought it was very big of Nate to shoulder the responsibility for the loss, but in no way, shape or form was it all on his shoulders." � Cal coach Jeff Tedford, defending Longshore, who struggled in a 24-17 loss to USC last week.
"God forbid if we had lost. I had about 30 people use the same words with me. They said we would have had a riot on our hands. It would have been like a soccer game in some third-world country. That's how dangerous it could have been with the night, the alcohol and the total frustration with the mismanagement of the game." � Oregon State athletic director Bob De Carolis, who was less than pleased with officiating in a 29-23 Beavers win over Washington on Saturday (from The Oregonian newspaper of Portland)
"It wasn't that egregious. Unless you are an Oregon State fan." � Verle Sorgen, the Pac-10's director of instant replay, in response to questions about a late call that did not go to instant replay. There was also no replay called when Oregon State TB Yvenson Bernard fumbled but appeared to have been down with 1:11 left in the game. The Pac-10 has suspended the replay officials for one game
Bowl implications: The biggest bowl implications will be felt Thursday in Tucson. No. 2 Oregon will try to stay on track for a spot in the BCS championship game with a convincing win over Arizona. Arizona (4-6) and Washington State (4-6) need to win out to end bowl droughts. Only five Pac-10 teams currently are bowl-eligible.
Worth noting: De Carolis asked for on-field officials in Oregon State's win over Washington to be disciplined and for the replay officials to face stiffer punishment. The crew ejected three Oregon State players and one Washington player from the game after-near fights broke out. � The helmet-to-helmet hit that knocked Locker out of that game was later ruled "inadvertent" and no more penalties would be assessed. � In an altercation after the hit on Locker, Washington G Ryan Tolar and Oregon State DBs Brandon Hughes, Bryan Payton and James Dockery were ejected. As per NCAA rules, each will be suspended for the first half of his team's next game. � UCLA senior DT Brigham Harwell (knee) and WR Marcus Everett (ankle) will redshirt after sustaining injuries early in the season. � Stanford WR Richard Sherman was reinstated after serving a one-game suspension for poor sportsmanship on the sidelines.

The early acceptance of social security: An asset maximization approach
This paper, using a sample from the 1973 Social Security Exact Match File, tests the importance of economic factors in the decision of male workers to take social security (OASI) benefits at age 62. Previous studies of this decision have concentrated on the flow of pension benefits available to the worker in a single year, but this study emphasizes the asset nature of such benefits. The potential loss in market earnings when OASI benefits are accepted is weighed against the change in the total potential value of private pension and OASI benefits if retirement is postponed. The present value of the entire potential stream of benefits emerges as more important theoretically and empirically than the value of annual benefits immediately available to the worker.

When I was approached to do the Mid-Ohio Valley's Most Wanted I was really excited to embark on a new project, one that's very unique from all our other segments at WTAP. I didn't expect it to be such a success!
For the past couple of months, I've been working with the Parkersburg Police Department on the segment. Each week, the department send me a mugshot of a suspect they've had trouble tracking down. On Wednesday, I go over to the police station and interview an official to get the details of the case. After I have all the information...I write it up and edit the segment for the 6:00 newscast. Over the weekend, we run a 30 second commercial telling viewers about that week's suspect.
Sometimes right after the segment airs, on Wednesday, I'll get a call or e-mail from someone who has information on the suspect. Often times, especially lately, as the segment become more popular, the Parkersburg Police Department will receive information and arrest the suspect that same night.
To me, this is truly inspiring. It's always a great feeling knowing that you're giving the public vital information about their community...but for the most part, with regular day-to-day news, it's hard to know that you're making a difference. With Mid-Ohio Valley's Most Wanted, I continuously feel like I'm making a difference, in a small, but definitely meaningful way.
So, back to the segment being surprisingly successful. Four out of the eight suspects that we've featured have been caught! It really goes to show how helpful the community is and how much they care. It shows that the people of the Mid-Ohio Valley know when to help out and strive to make the community a safer place to live.
Thanks for all your help and keep watching every Wednesday, at 6:00, for the latest Most Wanted. There's also a Mid-Ohio Valley's Most Wanted tab on the left hand side of our home page...if you want to check out everyone we've featured so far.

I have a problem creating this object multiple times (thanks to some Listener)

I am trying to create an object multiple times, using a do-while loop, but the loop's
is executed before the object I have created has finished doing what it is supposed to be doing. I can see where this is failing. After the object's constructor is called, an instance of that object is created and the loop's test is performed. I want the loop's test to be performed after the user has entered some input into that object, not after the constructor method returns.
The following code illustrates my problem. This is, by the way, just a simplistic example that captures the part I am having trouble with. The program I am working on is more complicated. It should be noted that I can't edit the object related methods of the "Program" class; this is a problem that must be addressed from within the main method.
If anyone can shed some light into this I'd appreciate it.
import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class Program { JFrame f; JButton b; public Program() { f = new JFrame(); b = new JButton("Press me to begin"); b.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { f.dispose(); showDialog(); } } ); f.getContentPane().add(b); f.pack(); f.setVisible(true); } public void showDialog() { int x = Integer.parseInt( JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter some text: ") ); System.out.println("Your text has been entered"); } public static void main (String[] args) { /* I want the test at the end of this do-while loop to be performed *after* showDialog() is called and after the output has been printed on the command line, not while "Program" is on stand-by waiting for an event. */ do{ new Program(); }while("y" == JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Again?")); System.exit(-1); } }

The call to
is hidden inside the buttons ActionListener.
So you have to find a way to fire an
for the button.
Testing for
equality works better with the
do { ProgramRx pr = new ProgramRx(); pr.b.doClick(); } while( "y".equals(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Again?")) ); System.exit(-1);

"Testing for String equality works better with the equals method."
I know, but that's not my problem.

I think what you're running into is the AWT / Swing event thread. Creating a window (
) creates a new thread where button events and such take place. Your main thread does not wait for that one but goes merrily on its way.
You may need to make the main thread wait() on some object and do a notifyAll() on that object after reading the text. Any object will do. Maybe pass a String along to the program constructor and make sure it's available to the method that prompts for text.
I'm hedging my bets here because I don't do much Swing these days. Did that make sense? Check it out by displaying the thread name in main and in the event handler.

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
