ST. JOE - During the course of a 20-plus-game softball season, a team has to have a bit of luck at some point. While Bellaire (12-1) has been cruising along nightly, it needed a late unearned run to sneak past visiting Bridgeport Thursday night, 4-3, on the middle school diamond.
''That was ugly, but it's still a win,'' Bellaire coach Melissa Lahna said. ''We beat Caldwell 14-2 two nights ago, but I don't think we played well. Our loss (Monday to Harrison Central) kind of put us in a damper mood. (Wednesday) we had a good practice, but not a solid practice and it showed because that is how we played.''
With the game deadlocked at 3-3, Elisha Gillespie was hit by a pitch leading the sixth went to second on Michelle Maffe's sacrifice bunt, but Bulldogs ace Ashley Hadzima struck out the next batter for the second out. The count was 2-2 on Daphne Clark, the Big Reds' No. 9 hitter, when she swung at a pitch in the dirt that got away as she raced toward first. The throw to the bag for what would have been the third out skipped away as Gillespie hustled around to score what turned out to be the game-winning run.
''A lot of our losses have come that way," Bridgeport (6-4) coach Tom Joseph said. ''An untimely error here and there and we could be a lot better record-wise, but that's our season in a nutshell.''
Bellaire took the early lead when Taylar Canter scored on a fielder's choice in the bottom of the second. She drew a leadoff walk, stole second and went to third on a wild pitch.
The hosts made it 2-0 an inning later as Dallas Messenger legged out one of her three bunt singles leading off. After she swiped second, winning pitcher Megan Ging helped her own cause when she blasted a double off the fence in left-center that easily scored Messenger.
Bridgeport finally broke through against the hard-throwing Ging the second time through the order as it sent seven batters to the plate in a three-run fourth.
Dustyne Cargnell bunted for a single leading off and Peyton Stewart's sacrifice bunt was thrown wild to first, giving the Bulldogs runners on first and third. Both crossed the plate when Caitlyn Kroll drilled a triple to the gap in right-center, and she touched home when Hadzima lifted a sacrifice fly to left, making it 3-2 Bridgeport.
Bellaire drew even in the fifth on Mackenzie Conroy's double to center. It chased home Ging who had doubled to left-center with one out. Mary Garloch, who had also singled, was nailed at the plate trying to score by Stewart.
The Bulldogs threatened in the top of the sixth with runners on first and second, but a bouncer to Canter at short turned into a force out at third to end the rally and set the stage for Bellaire's victory.
''Give Bridgeport credit,'' Lahna said. ''Coach Joseph has done a tremendous job in his two years there.''
Messenger and Ging accounted for six of Bellaire's nine hits, as Ging also singled. Ging fanned seven and walked one in scattering five hits.
''I still don't think Megan has pitched her best yet,'' added Lahna, ''but that's a good thing because we've got some tough games coming up.''
Cargnell singled twice for Bridgeport. Hadzima struck out four and walked one while yielding nine hits.

May 25, 2016
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- Two people familiar with the situation say two Miami assistant coaches have been told they will be charged with "unethical conduct" when the NCAA presents the Hurricanes' athletic department with its notice of allegations.
The people spoke to The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because neither the NCAA or Miami have announced the contents of the long-awaited letter, which the Hurricanes may receive at any time. The people say the coaches will be cited for violating NCAA bylaw 10.1, a broad rule that covers conduct and cooperating with investigations.
Other coaches and staff are almost certain to be cited.
CBSSports.com reported Monday that former Miami coach and current Missouri basketball coach Frank Haith will also face "unethical conduct and failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance" charges.

(WTSP) -- You know you are what you eat, but researchers say you could also be what your grandmother ate!
Scientists at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center say women who eat too many bad fats during pregnancy, may influence the health of generations to come.
Their study focused on pregnant rats that ate a high fat diet and found at least two other generations had an 80 percent increase in their breast cancer risk.
They theorize that daughters, sons and even grandchildren are at an increase risk based on the grandmother's high fat food choices.
Researchers say they're not sure why the increased risk is based on at least two generations but they know how to prevent it. Eat good fats and fresh, whole foods while pregnant.

Our community partners are doing some wonderful work and there are a couple of ways you can get involved. We may be nearing the peak rainy season, but there are still plenty of reasons to get outdoors and make a difference in your neighborhood. Friends of Baltimore Woods has already hosted a number of successful volunteer events and continues to team up with SOLVE to hold volunteer work parties in St. Johns to remove invasive species and plant native trees and shrubs. Baltimore Woods is a remnant of a native white oak forest and the all-volunteer group Friends of Baltimore Woods is seeking to create a linear park that connects Cathedral Park with Pier Park and would provide access for recreation and education purposes. The next two work parties will take place on this Saturday, November 10 and Saturday, December 1. Use SOLVE's online volunteer registration page to sign up.
Also this month, the Oregon Environmental Council kicked off their most recent Love Your River challenge, focusing on how you can help prevent pollution in storm drains. The challenge encourages the public to engage in at least one of three actions including clearing your street's storm drain, refraining from dumping into storm drains and volunteering to assist in labeling storm drains. If you're willing to take on the challenge, you could be the lucky recipient of a Patagonia backpack or this year's grand prize: a four-person tent, two sleeping pads, and two camp chairs from REI.

Not to offend, but what a silly question! How could more black ever look bad on a motorcycle?
black out the cases also.
Personally I would just do the exhaust and fit the "vintage" shrouded Hagons.By all accounts the Hagons are also a huge improvement in ride and handling over the stock shocks.

At this point in the day, I assume you've talked your fair share of touchdowns and fumbles, fully (or at least partially) recovered from that buffalo-chicken dip, and watched Richard Sherman share a soft-spoken moment or two with the camera. So let's talk more serious things. Like "The Nike Bowl."
That's right. Last night, both teams wore Nike – and two of brand's most significant signature designs, at that. The Denver Broncos' orange-over-white, debuted with much fanfare in 1997, is what ESPN dubs "Old Nike." The Seattle Seahawks' white-over-navy? As Nike's showcase when they took over the NFL uniform contract in 2012, they were dubbed "New Nike." Naturally.
So who takes home the best-uniform title? Old or New? I'm staying Sweden here. Read the full scoop on ESPN, then tweet us at @ruelala and cast your vote.

Item # SHI0462
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Rear Derailleurs in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano Ultegra RD-6700-G SS Rear Derailleur $0.00
This Shimano Ultegra RD-6700-G SS Rear Derailleur is designated as 'G' to denote its smoky grey finish. This is the same color as the electronic Di2 version, and we like how it evokes the stealthy look of its Dura-Ace counterpart. Otherwise it's the same as the standard 6700 unit.
The pivots on the body of the 6700 derailleur are wider than the previous 6600 unit, and are thus better to resist flexing and twisting when you shift under load. That's the secret sauce for better, faster shifting.
As always with Ultegra, this is a trickle-down design from Dura-Ace. So that ultimately means that it will work with 7900 shifters without problem. It will also work with older Ultegra (6600 and SL) shifters. Compatibility aside, the differences between this derailleur and a Dura-Ace changer are many. The most obvious is that this Ultegra derailleur isn't as light. There's more metal, and the pulley cage is made from aluminum rather than carbon fiber. Also, the pulleys run on bushings instead of bearings. The cage design, along with the pulley cage placement, allows this derailleur to work with cogs as tall as 28 teeth -- nice for those who want a really low gear, yet still have fast shifting.
The Shimano Ultegra RD-6700-G SS Rear Derailleur is designed to work with double chainrings and 10-speed cassettes. The total chainwrap capacity is 33 teeth, The limit screws are on the back of the derailleur, just above the barrel-adjuster, and can be accessed from the rear.

Kelsey loves these
These aren't as light at durace but shifts are crisp and dependable and if you really want to shed the extra few grams, don't eat as much... just kidding, well kinda. My wife loves her Ultegra set up and has never said she wanted to upgrade.
Crispy shifts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Yes, they are everywhere, but for a good reason; Ultegra derailleurs are amazingly good at moving a chain around. When properly adjusted and maintained, this derailleur sings. This thing shifts faster than you will ever need... perhaps faster. In a word, it is snappy. As an added benefit, it's delightfully quiet. None of that SRAM clickety-clack.

This little guy looks great on my charcoal colored Ridley.

Has anyone ever hunted in the Flattops Wilderness area (Whit River NF) for elk? I am searching for a new area and have wanted to give it a shot. I have heard it can be pretty rugged without horses. I'm mainly looking for a great place to get away, see a few animals and have a realistic chance at filling my tag. Not necessarily looking for a trophy with this hung.
I haven't had a chance to get up there but hopefully I'll be taking a scouting trip this summer/early fall and possibly hunting up there next fall. Does anyone know a good access point? I've been studying a few maps and it looks like the Marvine Peaks area seems promising but I've also heard things about coming in from Yampa. What is the hunting pressure like during the rifle season?
I'm not trying to steal anyone's honey hole, just looking for a little nugget of info to get me started. Thanks a lot for any help!

Dunnellon man charged with molesting teen girls
Published: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
DUNNELLON - A Dunnellon man accused of molesting two teenage girls was arrested early Thursday.
The man, who is 44, faces 11 charges, including sexual battery and lewd and lascivious molestation.
His name and the relationship between him and the victims were not released by authorities.
Officials with the Dunnellon Police Department said the molestation began when the victims were 13 and 15. They are now 19 and 21.
The victims told Officer Carolina Rolfes about occasions when the man had sex with them and inappropriately touched them over several years, and at times gave them marijuana, crack cocaine and alcohol, according to reports.
Rolfes located the man at his home and he was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor At the direction of Mayor Mike Wyatt, notification is given that the once-per-week watering allowance will continue until Sunday, Oct. 28, rather than end on Oct. 14 as originally scheduled. Grant City Council had discussed the possibility of extending the city's watering allowance due to the drought at their previous meeting and gave approval for Mayor Wyatt to make the extension if he deemed it necessary. The watering schedule was established at least 15 years ago as a conservation practice. Neither current nor former city officials can recall a time when drought made it necessary to extend the watering period. Included in this week's issue is the watering map outlining which neighborhoods are allowed to water on their designated day of the week for an extended two-week period. Sept. 25 Meeting Grant City Council met in regular session on Tuesday, Sept. 25 with a short agenda but with enough discussion to create a lengthy meeting. Under new business: • Action was taken by council to approve a Geographic Information System project with West Central Nebraska Development District (WCNDD). West Central will provide technical assistance to the City of Grant in recording and maintaining data on the location of the city's valves, hydrants, mains, curb stops, manholes and lift stations. The data gathered and recorded is for informational purposes which will benefit current and future city employees in locating areas of infrastructure. • Discussion was held, with no action being taken, on the necessary well repairs at the Pheasant Run Golf Course. • Council rescinded a nuisance declaration on property located at 2nd and Logan. The property which was declared a nuisance the first part of September has now been cleaned up. In other action, council passed a resolution declaring property at the corner of 5th and Hancock a nuisance. • In the absence of a city superintendent, former council member Darrell Pierce will be working part-time as of Monday to assist in the office.

Ned Yost media session: May 19
Salvador Perez was the first topic of discussion when Manager Ned Yost met with the media this afternoon. Yost said he took batting practice on the field for the first time yesterday, although he had been hitting in the cages for a while. Sal also caught his first bullpen session yesterday and was doing so during the media meeting as well. Yost said he is close to being ready to go and when he is they will send him down for a spring training type progression to get him on his way back up to the big league club in K.C. He said Sal is very ready to get going and it will be nice to have him back. Yost also said injured infielder Yuniesky Betancourt will most likely be headed out on a rehab assignment following the upcoming series in New York.
The media next brought up the Royals' bullpen and who would be available tonight. Yost said that it would be all hands on deck and everyone would be available tonight to go out of the pen. Everett Teaford, who was originally slated to start tomorrow's game, was going to also be available out of the pen tonight if absolutely needed. Both of those plans changed shortly after Yost's media meeting, however. The Royals placed Teaford on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 18 with a lower abdominal strain. Therefore, he will not be available tonight or tomorrow and with the move they have recalled right hander Nate Adcock from Omaha to replace the injured Teaford. Adcock will be the starting pitcher tomorrow in the series finale with the Diamondbacks.

I posted a town map tutorial on the tutorials forum. It is probably best for villages and small towns although you can do cities too. Someone even managed to adapt it to GIMP I believe.
Your village layout and choice of structures is mostly going to influence the feel of dark age (I assume sub-roman - viking age to early medieval?)
So we are talking (for England anyway) mainly wooden structures that are thatched or roofed with wooden shingles. The more Saxon and Norse inspired villages will have a great hall at the heart of some kind. The only stone building will likely be a religious one. That sorta thing. In terms of drawing them, the roof styles will be fairly simple with a single bisecting line.
The further east (and slightly south) you go from England, the more complex the dark age architectural story gets.

NEWS RELEASE: Janesville, WI - Rock County District Attorney David O'Leary announced that Paul G. Barber Jr., age 52, was sentenced today by the Honorable James P. Daley for the offense of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated as a 10th offense in Circuit Court Case 2012CF1207. During sentencing, Assistant District Attorney Jodi Dabson Bollendorf emphasized that Barber had previously been arrested 21 times for the offense of operating while intoxicated in multiple states dating back to 1982; however, in Wisconsin, prior convictions occurring prior to 1989 are not counted under the law. Both the Department of Corrections and ADA Dabson Bollendorf argued for the maximum sentence of 7.5 years confinement followed by 5 years of extended supervision. Judge Daley sentenced Barber to less than the maximum and ordered 6 years of confinement followed by 5 years of extended supervision.
The facts of the case as set forth by the criminal complaint are that on May 25, 2012, State Trooper Bauer located Barber in his vehicle parked on the shoulder of I39/I90 and observed that Barber's vehicle had fresh damage on the left side. Barber initially stated that he had rolled his vehicle, then changed his story and could not remember what happened. Trooper Bauer could smell an odor of intoxicants coming from Barber's breath and began field sobriety tests until Barber refused to complete any more tests and stated "I'm done with this." Barber's blood was tested and the results showed a blood ethanol level of .296.
Pursuant to the directive of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as found in Supreme Court Rule 20:3.6, Trial Publicity, you are advised that a charge is merely an accusation and that a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
ROCK COUNTY (WIFR) -- Getting pulled over for driving drunk was nothing new to Paul Barber Jr., 52, but going to the big house is. A Rock County judge sentenced Barber to six years in prison, with five years of extended supervision. Since 1982, Barber has been arrested 21 times for driving drunk, with the last time being on May 25, when he had a blood alcohol level of .296.

|Benefits of recycling are highlighted on Earth Day
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Every year Earth Day, which was Monday, April 22, acts as a reminder of the importance of the environment and emphasizes ways in which to protect it through various programs.
One way in which to honor the traditions of Earth Day is to participate in the recycling programs put on in Phillips County.
Once a bundle of old magazines and newspapers is dumped into the large recycling bins found in Phillips County, the benefits are not made immediately clear. Other than the obvious advantage of being able to reuse waste, citizens rarely understand the financial gains of recycling.
According to Marick's Waste Disposal, Inc. out of Crook, in 2012, Holyoke as a whole was responsible for 23.6 tons of recycled newspapers, plastic, aluminum and steel. Recycled cardboard from all of Phillips County was an additional 120 tons.
Bill Andrews, Phillips County Landfill supervisor, speculated that through these recycling services, the county has ensured another full year of life for the current hole being used to fill with waste. The hole, which when first dug was expected to last five years, is now on its eighth year of use. Why is that noteworthy? It costs taxpayers roughly $1 million to dig and prepare a new hole for use.
The numbers continue to rise as well. As Andrews pointed out, recycling containers are much more common in the community. So far in 2013, Phillips County has already recycled more cardboard than in all of 2012. After nearly four months, the Phillips County landfill has already received 134 tons of cardboard.
Cardboard recycling trailers are currently in use in Holyoke at Holyoke Marketplace, Ag Power, MV Equipment, Flower Garden, Radio Shack, Sullivan's Appliance, S&W Auto Supply, Hometown Liquor, Speer Cushion, Holyoke Recycling and at schools during the school year.
In Haxtun, cardboard recycling trailers can be found at Haxtun Recycling, Haxtun Hospital, Haxtun C-Store, Haxtun Liquors, Grainland Co-op Fertilizer, Kurtzer's LLC, Haxtun Road Department during the summer months, Haxtun schools during the school year and floating trailers are available upon request.
Other programs have also taken a recycling initiative. Troop 32 of Holyoke participates in aluminum can recycling. Andrews estimates that from the material the group brings in, roughly five bales averaging a weight of 900 lbs. were recycled in 2012. The drop-off area for the program is located at Holyoke General Store.

The house that Ben built
Economy | Behind Washington fights between the White House and Congress over taxes and spending, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has pursued a high-risk strategy experts say is fundamentally changing the U.S. economy
CHARLOTTE, N.C.—In 1945 the grandparents of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke bought a small tract of land on East Jefferson Street in Dillon, S.C., a town near the North Carolina border that—then as now—had less than 10,000 people. They paid $750 for the lot. The grandparents, Jonas and Pauline, were prudent and well educated: Pauline trained to become a physician at the University of Vienna. Jonas Bernanke, a pharmacist, had opened Jay Bee Drug Company on Dillon's Main Street in 1941. Within a few years, the Bernankes had built a large brick home on the property. In 1960, Jonas sold the house to his son, Philip, for $22,000. Philip raised the future Fed chairman in that house.
The brainy young Bernanke (he scored 1590 out of 1600 on his SAT) went off to Harvard (summa cum laude) and then to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for his Ph.D. His parents worried about his going north and losing his Jewish roots. For centuries, South Carolina has kept a thriving Jewish community: As early as 1700, the state had a significant Jewish population and was the first place in America to elect a Jew to public office. In 1800, over 2,000 Jews lived in South Carolina—more than any state in the nation. A friend eventually convinced Ben's parents "there were Jews in Boston" and they sent him to New England.
Dillon, the textile and tobacco town Bernanke left behind, fell on hard times. Global forces beyond the control of Dillon's hard-working and thrifty residents shut down the area's textile plants and tobacco farms. At the height of the Great Recession, which took place on Bernanke's watch, Dillon's unemployment hit 15 percent.
In some ways, the drama of Bernanke's departure and Dillon's decline is playing again on a much larger stage. This time it's the American economy that's a tangled mess as Bernanke himself—who will end his second four-year term as Fed chairman next January—prepares once more for the exits. And as we enter what will likely be Bernanke's last year as Fed chairman, questions about the 59-year-old's legacy arise: Have his policies saved America from bankruptcy, or made matters worse? If they have made matters worse, who will be left to clean up the mess he leaves?
The answer to the first question depends on whom you ask. Donald L. Kohn became the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank governor in 2002, the same year Bernanke became a Fed governor. Then President George W. Bush appointed them both, and Kohn served through 2010, during the worst of the financial crisis and Bernanke's first years as Fed chairman. He gives Bernanke high marks, saying he's "done a superb job given the challenges he's faced. I predict historians will look favorably on his tenure."
The Wharton School's Jeremy Siegel also gives Bernanke a good grade for the way he's handled the financial crisis. "On the whole, I'd give him an A," Siegel told me. "I support the quantitative easing he has done. It's prevented a much worse financial crisis."
Quantitative easing is the central bank's practice of buying assets from financial institutions with newly created money. Central banks use this technique when interest rates—the primary lever a central bank can pull—are already at or near zero.
Bernanke first embarked on a series of quantitative easing strategies in 2008. Because the Fed had already lowered interest rates almost to zero, a frenzy of home building, buying, and selling drove prices up. When the bubble the Fed helped create burst, the financial markets panicked. Banks stopped lending money. Capital markets froze. No longer able to lower rates, the Fed bought $800 billion in mortgage-backed securities in a desperate attempt to provide liquidity to the crashing housing market.
A second round of quantitative easing—QE2—began in November 2010, when Bernanke announced a decision to buy $600 billion in Treasury bonds. In September 2012, Bernanke announced QE3: The Fed would buy $40 billion in mortgage-backed securities per month through at least 2015. Finally, in November, Bernanke announced what some call QE-Infinity: The Fed will purchase Treasury securities at the rate of $45 billion per month with no end date in sight. Bernanke said on Nov. 12 that the Fed would continue the purchases and would keep interest rates low until the unemployment rate fell below 6.5 percent, or long-term inflation projections rose above 2.5 percent.
Even Bernanke supporters swallowed hard at his most recent pronouncement. Siegel, for example, told me, "I'm concerned about the focus on the unemployment rate. He has elevated a measure that involves a lot of subjectivity." Siegel refers to the fact that much of the recent drop in the unemployment rate is the result of discouraged workers leaving the workforce altogether.
Robert L. Pollock, writing in The Wall Street Journal, places blame both for the slow recovery and the massive growth in U.S. debt in the past four years directly at Bernanke's feet. He said that "to the extent that the United States finds itself in a precarious financial situation, Bernanke shares much of the blame. Simply put, there is no way Washington could have run the deficits it has in recent years without the active assistance of a near-zero interest rate policy."
Conservatives deride the practice as "printing money," saying the inevitable consequence is inflation, possibly hyperinflation. Japan resorted to quantitative easing in the early 2000s to prevent deflation in that country. Economists say it worked at preventing deflation, but it doomed the Japanese economy to more than a decade of stagnation.
That Bernanke would follow this path is no great surprise. In 2002, when Bush appointed him to the Fed, the U.S. economy struggled under the twin blows of the technology bust of 2000 and the aftermath of 9/11, in 2001. Inflation, which had been falling since 1990, was near zero—below zero according to some models. Deflation seemed a real possibility. In 2002 Bernanke gave a speech to the National Economists Club in Washington that laid out what has come to be called the Bernanke Doctrine: "Sustained deflation can be highly destructive to a modern economy and should be strongly resisted."
Bernanke continued on the Fed until 2005, when he resigned to serve a short stint as chairman of Bush's Council of Economic Advisers. It was a post many thought was an audition for the Fed chairmanship. Conservatives took comfort in Bernanke's open appreciation of Milton Friedman, the 20th century's leading conservative economist. Friedman advocated free markets, minimal government intervention, and "monetarism," the small, steady, incremental expansion of the money supply. Friedman stood against the dominant Keynesian orthodoxy, which advocated a much larger role for the government.
But a growing number of conservative economists say Bernanke has left Friedman behind, and it was his 2002 Bernanke Doctrine speech that should have been the first clue.
"He is not a monetarist," said Jeff Herbener, a professor of economics at Grove City College. "His views have become decidedly more Keynesian, and his policies are counter-productive."
Herbener believes that Bernanke has not only failed to help the country's economic situation, he has made it worse by keeping interest rates low and increasing the money supply dramatically—not incrementally, as Friedman advocated—in order to buy assets. Artificially low rates reduce the incentive of young families to save and squeeze the interest income of retirees. They also create an incentive to borrow more than is prudent. That ease of borrowing is the main reason the housing market overheated in 2008.
Not only does Bernanke's strategy of increasing money supply—"printing money"—increase the likelihood of inflation, it has also dramatically increased the amount of monetary assets under government control. "The state is an inefficient allocator of resources," Herbener said. "The best economic policies reduce the amount of resources in the command of the state."
Bernanke's current quantitative easing plans will add $1 trillion per year to the amount of assets under government control, bringing the total to $5 trillion by the end of 2014.
In early 2008, the government had only about $1 trillion in assets on its balance sheet. By buying up assets and bailing out the companies who own non-performing assets, the Fed has disrupted the economy's natural cleansing process, Herbener said. "Market economies are excellent at displacing bad entrepreneurs with good entrepreneurs. The good assets of bad entrepreneurs get reallocated by natural market mechanisms to good entrepreneurs," he said. "One of the reasons the recession was as long as it was and the recovery has been so slow is that the government has interrupted that process." Bailouts and buy-backs allow good assets to remain in the hands of bad entrepreneurs. The result is that these assets fail to reach their full productive potential.
But what about the argument that the situation was so dire in 2008 that without an immediate and massive government intervention, the economy would have fallen into not just the Great Recession but a second Great Depression? Herbener doesn't buy it. "Just screaming 'fire' and running for the exits is not an argument. The burden of proof is on those who make those claims," he said. "And so far they have failed to make the case."
Herbener says Bernanke and the Fed should have let the global markets, not the U.S. government, provide liquidity and solve the crisis. The U.S. government is big, but Herbener says "the world markets are huge by comparison. It is simply implausible that the world markets would not have done a better job of responding to the financial crisis, of providing liquidity and re-allocating assets, than the U.S. government did."
But for the foreseeable future, thanks to the policies of Ben Bernanke, massive amounts of assets that in years past would have been in the private sector will be in government hands. Jeremy Siegel and liberal economists such as Paul Krugman think this will not be a problem. "We will grow our way out of the current situation," Siegel said. "There are currently no signs of inflation, and if the signs show up, the Fed will act."
Former Fed Governor Kohn agrees. "I do not fear inflation in the medium-term, defined in the next few years," he said. "There's enough slack in the U.S. and global economies to keep wage and price pressures in check."
Others remain unconvinced. George Melloan is a former editor of The Wall Street Journal's editorial page and the author of The Great Money Binge: Spending Our Way To Socialism. He believes the nearly 2,000-point run-up in the Dow Jones Industrial Average at least partly reflects what he calls "asset inflation," which he defines as an increase in price that reflects a "cheapened dollar, not an increase in their real worth." In addition to the rise in stock prices, he also points to the double digit rise in farm prices coming at a time when farmland itself has been less productive because of "crippling drought" gripping much of the nation. "How could drought-stricken farms be gaining value so rapidly," he asks, "other than through inflation generated by cheap credit?"
Melloan says the danger of the current situation is that it produces a "wealth illusion, the belief that pricier assets make one permanently richer. Illusions are dangerous. Eventually, painful reality intervenes."
Grove City's Herbener is also skeptical that inflation is under control. "Predicting with that kind of precision what inflation will be two years or more in the future seems implausible, at best," he said. Nonetheless, Herbener is willing to make a qualified prediction about The House That Ben Built: "We may not be headed for a collapse. It could end up being just a slow and steady decline. It's virtually certain that without dramatic monetary reform, Bernanke's policies are leading us into an era of inflation. And despite what people are saying about the troubles we're in now, I can promise you that double-digit inflation will be worse."
It will be especially worse for taxpayers and homeowners, who will eventually have to make good on Bernanke's bonds and will not have the luxury of selling when the market is high and buying back in after it crashes. That's why even some members of the Fed's Open Market Committee (FOMC) are quietly calling for a pullback in quantitative easing. The Dow Jones Industrial Average set a record high on Feb. 19, closing above 14,000. But the next day the FOMC released the minutes of its January meeting, reflecting the divided minds of the Fed governors. Over the next two days, the Dow fell nearly 200 points. On Feb. 25, the Dow saw another 200-point fall. On the same day, the market's volatility index, sometimes called the "fear index," jumped 34 percent. The next day, Feb. 26, Bernanke delivered his semi-annual testimony before Congress, saying quantitative easing would continue. That stabilized the stock markets and underscored his influence.
Bernanke's second four-year term ends next January, and two-thirds of economists polled in February by USA Today believe he will step down at the end of his term. Former Fed Governor Donald Kohn says that means it will "be up to the next chairman to lead the exit from these extraordinary polices to avoid the inflation pressure building up." Bernanke himself has been as tight-lipped about his future as he has been in public pronouncements as Fed chairman. Those close to him think he will end up at a think tank or university.
One thing is sure: He won't be returning to the home Jonas and Pauline Bernanke built in Dillon, S.C., in the 1940s. In the 1990s, the last Bernanke to live in the large brick house on East Jefferson Street sold it. And in 2009, the house Ben Bernanke left all those years ago went into foreclosure.
Today, as his Bernanke Doctrine and long tenure as chairman are causing some to call the modern Federal Reserve "The House That Ben Built," many pray that bit of local history doesn't repeat itself on a national economic scale.

Buying in bulk
Quantitative easing (QE) is the practice where a central bank buys assets from financial institutions using money it creates. In 2010 the Federal Reserve began an open-ended purchase of mortgage-backed securities—known as QE1. QE2 followed in 2010 and QE3 began in 2012. Under Bernanke as chairman of the Federal Reserve, quantitative easing plans will add $1 trillion per year to the amount of assets under government control, bringing the total to $5 trillion by the end of 2014.

Sunday, Stopshoppingdebbie—7-for-7 with earnings of $183,773—places her undefeated mark on the line in the $50,000 Boeing Handicap for older fillies and mares at one mile.With a victory, the 4-year-old Kentucky-bred daughter of Curlin-Taste the Passion would tie the track record of seven consecutive stakes wins set by Ropersandwranglers during the 1996-98 seasons at Emerald Downs.High-weighted at 123 lbs, Stopshoppingdebbie stretches out following wins in the six-furlong Hastings Handicap and 6 ½-furlong Washington State Legislators Stakes. She routed beautifully last year, scoring stakes wins in the one-mile Irish Day Handicap, 1 1/16-mile Kent Handicap and 1 1/8-mile Washington Oaks.Trainer Tom Wenzel, who also saddles Goin to the Window and Blueberry Smoothie in the Boeing, is confident Stopshoppingdebbie is ready for Sunday's assignment. And even if she does get beat, he still has a good chance of being the winning trainer."I hope the streak keeps going, I really do," Wenzel said. "But they all get beat sooner or later. Even the best ones do. Stopshoppingdebbie, even with how good she's looked, if she had a tough day, 'Window could get her."In fact, Goin to the Window has nearly tagged her unbeaten stable mate twice, missing by a head in the 2013 Kent Handicap and by a half-length in the June 15 Washington State Legislators Stakes. In the latter race, opinions vary as to whether Goin to the Window was ever going to pass Stopshoppingdebbie, and Wenzel said jockey Rocco Bowen might have eased off the gas after Stopshoppingdebbie opened a 1-½ length lead in mid-stretch."Part of it was that Rocco tried to take care of her a little bit down the lane and didn't ask for her maximum," Wenzel said. "The other part is that 'Window was running at her and ran one of her better races this time. I think maybe Rocco backed off the throttle a little bit. If you look at the gallop out after the race, Debbie still looked like she had her. 'Window almost got her one time last year, so I have to give her credit too."The Boeing is the final race before the championship Emerald Distaff at 1 1/8 miles on Sunday, August 24. After that, if all goes well, Jerre Paxton (Northwest Farms) is on record saying Stopshoppingdebbie would be pointed to a season-ending campaign in California, perhaps even a Breeders' Cup race. · Entries for the Boeing Handicap will be drawn Thursday. · Odds-on favorites are only 1-for-5 in the Boeing Handicap, and coincidentally the only odds-on choice to prevail was Ropersandwranglers at 0.80-to-1 in 1998.· Complete Boeing Handicap coverage is available on the Press Box Podcast, 30 minutes before post time. Go to http://emeralddowns.com to listen live!· Nominations for Sunday's $50,000 Boeing Handicap (with handicap weight): Stopshoppingdebbie, 123 lbs; Goin to the Window, 118; Blueberry Smoothie, 117; Madame Pele, 116; Tabled With Gold, 115, and Havasu Falls, 113.
FIREWORKS SPECTACULAR, PRESENTED BY CARL'S JR.The annual Fireworks Spectacular Presented by Carl's Jr. follows Thursday's nine-race program, which features a special first post of 4:30 p.m. Renowned as one of the top fireworks shows in the Pacific Northwest, the Fireworks Spectacular caps a day-long extravaganza of fun and frolic that includes a concert by rising Nashville country/western stars Chasin' Crazy.Gates open at 9:45 a.m. admission is only $7 for adults and children 17 and under will be admitted free. Perfect 73-degree weather is forecast, with less than a 10 percent chance of rain.
He's a Cruiser looks for his sixth straight victory in Thursday's feature race.
STREAKING HE'S A CRUISER HEADS THURSDAY FEATUREThe 2014 meeting reaches the halfway point Sunday, and already He's a Cruiser has equaled the mark for most wins at 11 of the 18 previous seasons at Emerald Downs.With five straight wins, the 5-year-old gelding already has tied 2013 wins leaders Kind of Naughty and Southern Solution, who each won five races at last year's 75-day meeting.Thursday, He's a Cruiser can take another step toward Halonator's single-season mark of eight wins when he faces four tough rivals in the $14,800 feature race for $20,000 claimers at one mile.A victory would make He's a Cruiser only the seventh horse in Emerald Downs' history to win at least six races in a season—and again, the season isn't even 50 percent finished."He's ready," trainer Vince Gibson said of He's a Cruiser. "He came out of his last race good, he should be tough."During the win streak, He's a Cruiser has racked up three wins at six furlongs and two at Thursday's one-mile distance. The $20,000 claiming price is a season high, following wins at $15,000 (twice), $10,000, $7,500 and $5,000.Assessment, a fast closing second to He's a Cruiser on June 21, is enjoying a renaissance for owner/trainer Howard Belvoir and appears the top threat Thursday. A victory would move the 10-year-old gelding into No. 2 all-time in Emerald Downs' earnings with $465,430. Noosa Beach currently ranks second with $465,305.The field for Thursday's $14,800 feature race from the rail out: Assessment, Gallyn Mitchell, 117 lbs, 2-1; He's a Cruiser, Leslie Mawing, 120, 7-5; Surfliner, Ronald Richard, 120, 5-1; Dare Me Devil, David G. Lopez, 120, 9-2; Chu and I, Jennifer Whitaker, 119, 5-1."BREAKFAST AT THE WIRE" DEBUTS SATURDAYBreakfast at the Wire—an informal gathering of horsemen and race fans on Track Level just south of the track's finish line—begins this Saturday.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Chris Carpenter continued his postseason
dominance and Pete Kozma hit a three-run homer as the St. Louis Cardinals
spoiled the first playoff game in the nation's capital in 79 years with an 8-0
win over the Washington Nationals in Game 3 of their National League Division
Wednesday's contest marked the first playoff game in Washington, D.C., since
the Washington Senators lost to the New York Giants at Griffith Stadium on
Oct. 7, 1933.
Carpenter (1-0) scattered seven hits and two walks over 5 2/3-scoreless
innings. He improved his postseason record to 10-2 in 16 career starts.
Matt Holliday added two RBI, while Allen Craig, Yadier Molina and Daniel
Descalso each knocked in a run for the Cardinals, who hold a 2-1 edge in the
best-of-five series and can move on to the NLCS with a victory in Thursday's
Game 4.
Edwin Jackson (0-1) was touched for four runs on eight hits and a walk through
five full frames to take the loss for Washington, which went 0-for-8 with
runners in scoring position and left 11 men on base.

I am posting this message to warn all Zimbra users about a serious privacy flaw that I found today. This flaw is not new, it has been reported in Zimbra's bug tracker in 2009 (cf Bug 35965 – Private events within shared calendars show the organizer name), but I am very surprised to see that only a few people cared about the bug.
Here is the flaw : I suppose that your calendar is shared with other Zimbra users. You receive an invitation ; you accept it and you mark the appointment as Private. In this case, the other users who look at your Zimbra calendar will see the appointement with a lock icon but, when they point their mouse to the appointment, they will also be able to see the name of the organiser of the event, i.e. the name of the person who sent you the invitation ! This is a serious leak of information and it makes your appointment "not so private" !
So, if you have a private appointment generated from an invitation and you don't want other users to see the name of the organiser, the only solution is to delete the appointment from your zimbra calendar !
If you think like me that it is a serious privacy flaw, please vote for the bug and try to catch the attention of Zimbra developers to fix it :

Chores and Donuts
Eric Kroetsch
In the peaceful mornings before school, I often ride my Pee Wee Herman-style bicycle from the school campus where I live to a small village store to buy some freshly baked bread for breakfast. Even though the brightly shining sun rose over the horizon less than 30 minutes ago, the village I live in is bustling with activity.
During my short five-minute ride, I meet several men riding into the bush on their bicycles. Each man is carrying the tools of his trade -- a freshly sharpened axe or bush knife to cut coconuts, and a burlap bag for the copra (dried coconut meat) that has been baking in the sun for several days.
As I pass the men on the bumpy dirt road, each flashes me a smile as warm and as bright as the sun that shines into their friendly faces. We exchange acknowledging nods as we go our separate ways, to do our separate jobs, both working to help provide a better future for the same children.
Some of these children are busy doing their morning chores. Girls with long, black hair are standing in their small yards, sweeping together the large brown and yellow breadfruit leaves that fell to the sandy ground during the cool nighttime.
Their brooms, like many items in Kiribati, are made from parts of different trees. The yellow bristles of the broom are taken from the small midrib of coconut palm frond leaves. They are bound to a straight stick with cord, which women in the village produce from coconut husk fibers.
A shirtless boy is preparing slops for pigs whose pavlovian squeal begins the moment they hear the cutting of coconuts and the metallic sound of buckets striking each other. The multicolored pigs never tire of their twice-a-day ration of the sweet white meat and clear juice from the coconuts, fish bones and rice from last night's dinner, and vegetation gathered from the bush.
A teacher's son has a well-used rice bag slung over his shoulder. Inside are the ingredients his aunt will use to prepare snacks, which she sells to the school children during their half-hour break. I stop and ask the boy if he has taken his aunt's donuts to the store this morning. He has just taken a bag of 50 to Taake's Store, where I'm headed. His aunt, Nei Teonatiaire, makes the best donuts on the island of Kuria. Her special ingredient, coconut cream, takes a little more work, but adds a much nicer flavor. Even though these pastries are every bit as fattening as the donuts in the States (they're fried in pig fat), I'll buy a couple instead of the bread I originally sought.
When I arrive at the store, two men are having a "maroro" (friendly chat) with the storekeeper. I issue a couple of cheerful "Mauri!" (a Kiribati greeting) to the trio, and ask the young storekeeper for a couple of donuts. After paying my 20 cents, I start back toward school. I feel the hot sun on my face and think of those men cutting copra. They will work in the sun much of the day, climbing trees to drop coconuts.
Back at my house, water is boiling in my little Chinese teapot. I prepare a cup of instant coffee to go with Teonatiaire's donuts. As I listen to a Paul Simon cassette on my walkman, I think of what new challenges the day will bring. It's just a typical morning on Kuria.

It seems Tourette's Syndrome may be a trait prominent in the Djokovic family line.
The sensationalistic Serbs seem to have a problem with self-monitoring, allowing their mouths to speak before their minds know what's coming out. The Djokovic elders were already given a Swiss-style smackdown by Roger Federer for yelling out during the Monte Carlo semifinals this past weekend and now eldest son Nole has a choice word to describe British ballers - 'spoiled'.
Speaking to BBC's Inside Sport Programme, the Aussie Open champ said,
I don't know if I should have the expression 'spoiled', but in the UK a lot of kids are a little bit spoiled because of all the conditions they have... and they don't work hard enough. If you have perfect conditions and everything you want, you get a little bit spoiled and then you don't want to work as hard as you're supposed to. You don't have the hunger for success because you have everything on the plate. You still have a lot of potential. You just have to find the right moment and change the mentality of the coaches and the kids.Nole doesn't think he should use the word 'spoiled' then he goes ahead and uses it. See? The mouth speaks before the mind can say, "Shut the hell up!"
Ay - will someone hand this clan a family-sized shovel so they can dig a bigger hole for themselves?

THE LOW DOWN: Djokovic clan may suffer from Tourette's, Nole calls Brit ballers 'spoiled'

WOW. Have you ever seen a group of people so desperately in need of PR training?ReplyDelete
seriously - it's like their mouths are completely separate from the rest of their bodies. body snatchers maybe?ReplyDelete
PR training won't cure them of their true illness - being a-holes.ReplyDelete
Tim Henman has said the same thing, only perhaps using slightly different words. Keep in mind Djoker's English is far from perfect.ReplyDelete
What's wrong with him saying that? That's just his opinion! I thought there's a law about free speech! He only wanted to say that Andy Murray is more than capable of moving upwards in the rankings and that he didn't have to work as hard as he did during all the wars and so, just he make sure he has a coach and a court to train on. And also all other talented Brits. And what his parents say about Federer and others doesn't mean it is his own opinion. So before you judge someone, think about it more deeply.ReplyDelete

With a sound nutritional program, many horses can enjoy normal activities and even competition well into their senior years. Talk to your veterinarian about how you can help keep your senior going strong, and consider supporting him with one of the supplements in this category. Many older horses may benefit from support in these key areas:Br />
1. Joint Support Senior horses may lose mobility due to stiffness and discomfort. A joint supplement can support the health of your senior horse's joints and help manage the stiffness and discomfort associated with age.
2. Weight Maintenance and Digestive Support If your senior horse is losing weight, consider supporting his body condition with supplements that contain probiotics and prebiotics for proper digestion, as well as healthy fats and amino acids for normal weight gain and muscle tone.
3. Antioxidants and Immune Support As horses age, many need supplemental antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E, along with other ingredients that support tissue and immune health.

We run Zimbra 8 Network edition for our company email. I have been playing around with this new IM, Skype-type messaging solution from Microsoft called Lync. It works pretty well, but got me wondering whether Zimbra has something similar or any plans in the offing.
It would make more sense as there's likely to be better integration that way.

Fall 2010 Television Preview.
by Meredith O'Brien
Clear your DVRs and TiVos. It's time for new and returning fall TV shows, and if you're in between babysitters, really, TV's a pretty cheap date.
And while it's true that shows premiere at all different times of the year now -- with small clusters beginning new seasons in the winter and spring -- autumn boasts the largest crop of 'em. Here's a group of shows which feature parents and families that I'll be watching and later writing about for Mommy Tracked.
Desperate Housewives, Sept. 26, 9 p.m., ABC
I used to love the Housewives, was eager to peek in on haps at the Lane. I was so enamored of its first season and its sharp suburban satire. Then it got sloppy, slack and silly. There've been several times when I was about to give up on it altogether. Last season there were moments of lunacy (hated the serial killer and the Angie-on-the-run arcs), but there were good parts too, like Lynette Scavo's pregnancy discrimination story and storylines where Gaby had to deal with parenting challenges, which is why I haven't completely given up on the show. Yet.
This season, the show's seventh, features the addition of Vanessa Williams as Lynette's former college "frenemy." We'll see.
