Recurring Role
If Garbage Mouth wanted to capture Kat, why didn't he teleport away once he'd grabbed her?
(Katherine is telling Kimberly about what she's done because of Rita)
Kat: And there were so many times that I just wanted to pull you all aside and tell you that I knew you were the Power Rangers, and that all these terrible things that were happening were because of me. And every time I tried, it was like this strange force came over me and stopped me from speaking.
Kimberly: Rita's spell.
Kat: And worst of all, I'm responsible for you being here and missing your gymnastics competition and everything.
Kimberly: Katherine, you know how Tommy became a Power Ranger?
Kat: No.
(Tommy and the other Rangers enter the room)
Tommy: I, uh, I was under one of Rita's spells too. It made me do horrible things. I almost destroyed the Power Rangers and my friends in the process.
Billy: Yeah, but look what happened. Everything turned out all right.
Kat: I just can't tell you how sorry I am for what I've done to you all, especially with the way you welcomed me into your lives.
Kimberly: You had no control over it. Rita and Zedd's magic is incredibly powerful.
Aisha: That's why we do what we do, and that's why the Power Rangers exist.
Kimberly: Exactly.
Tommy: (on Rita and Rito) Oh great. The Addams Family's back.
Zedd: This dimwit haven't done anything right ever since he arrived!
Rito: Oh yes I have! Eh, no I haven't...
On the 3/26/96 reairing of this episode on Fox Kids, the "Previously on Power Rangers" segment was replaced by the fifteenth segment of the Zeo Serial Sneak Peeks. In it, Bulk & Skull plan to arrest one of the invading aliens to show up Lt. Stone, who listens as they call him a slavedriver.
Kimberly does not appear morphed in this episode.
This is the first time a hospital is shown on PR, and much of the episode takes place within or around it.
Tommy: (on Rita and Rito) Oh great. The Addams Family's back...
An allusion to the popular 60's television series "The Addams Family" centering around a typical suburban gothic family with eccentric tastes and creepy qualities.

Continuities and Discontinuities: Archaeology and Ethnoarchaeology in the Heart of the Eastern Bororo Territory, Mato Grosso, Brazil
Wust, Irmhild, Antiquity
Bororo and cultural continuity
Cultural continuity and discontinuity is a fascinating issue in archaeological investigation, especially in regions where native populations are still present, as in the case of southeastern Mato Grosso. Since there is no necessary correlation between archaeological cultures and self-conscious ethnic groups (Hodder 1978; 1982; Jones 1997), research in areas where a link between ethnographically and/or ethnohistorically known groups and the archaeological record can be established presents a significant challenge for the study of processes involved in cultural continuities, ruptures, and the maintenance or abandonment of stylistic boundaries. This is especially true in a context of colonial impact on native populations, as in the case of the Bororo society.
Despite considerable ethnological investigations of the indigenous population of Central Brazil (Nimuendaju 1942; 1946; Maybury-Lewis 1979), misconceived ideas about these societies are still perpetuated in public opinion and teaching in order to justify the expansion of Brazilian society, even in areas still occupied by native groups. These explicitly involve the questionable idea that the present native populations are legitimate representatives of their pre-contact ancestors, and that they are characterized by a subsistence strategy based on nomadic hunting and gathering, low population density, small villages and even cultural and ethnic homogeneity.
Linguistic, biological and ethnohistoric research has demonstrated that the present native societies in Brazil underwent significant territorial re-allocations, cultural changes and complex processes of splitting and fusion even between ethnically differentiated social groups as a consequence of direct and indirect contact with Brazilian society (Castro & Cunha 1993; Cunha 1992; Neves 1991; Ramos 1980). These remnant societies should not be considered as fossilized images of the pre-colonial period, as sometimes still portrayed by some archaeologists (Miller et al. 1992; Meggers 1991; 1995). Using analogies with recent ethnographic data, these authors explain the ceramic variability of the large archaeological sites in Amazonia as resulting from several reoccupations; they consequently reject the possibility of any major population aggregations or multi-functional village spaces(1) existing in the periods prior to conquest.
Archaeological research on pre-colonial ceramic agriculturalists carried out in the past 25 years in Central Brazil (Mato Grosso and Goias) changes some of these misconceived ideas (Heckenberger 1996; Schmitz et al. 1982; Wrist 1983; 1990; Wrist & Carvalho 1996). Nonetheless, a theoretical framework, predominantly rooted in concepts of culture history and a normative idea of culture has oriented most archaeological investigations. We find in the archaeological literature of Central Brazil frequent correlations between ceramic phases and ethnographically known societies (see especially Schmitz et al. 1982), interpretations based solely on vague spatial congruencies between archaeological cultures and Nimuendaju's (1981) geographical distribution of indigenous groups. Yet no evidence is provided of cultural continuity between the contexts. With study of the chronological and spatial distributions of archaeological cultures dominating, our knowledge about economic, social and political aspects - the inner and outer dynamics of these past societies not feasible to the ethnologist - remains slight.
Archaeological and ethnohistorical data related to Bororo villages illuminates cultural continuities and discontinuities with implications for the history of living indigenous peoples. From these data I argue:
1 Correlations between specific ethnic groups and material culture are only reliable when we can establish a clear continuity between the archaeological past and ethnographic present.
2 Even different ceramic traditions may be related to people who participated in forming new ethnic groups and who may be considered their authentic ancestors from an emic point of view. …

1. Re: ORA-01002: fetch out of sequencegdarling - oracle May 19, 2008 3:54 PM (in response to 640036)Hi,
Usually that occurs when the stored procedure fetches from a database link. You may want to try wrapping the ODP.net code in a transaction to elimanate the error.
Hope it helps,
2. Re: ORA-01002: fetch out of sequenceMark Hoxey May 20, 2008 2:13 AM (in response to 640036)From the Oracle database (10g & 11g) documentation:
ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence
Cause: This error means that a fetch has been attempted from a cursor which is no longer valid. Note that a PL/SQL cursor loop implicitly does fetches, and thus may also cause this error. There are a number of possible causes for this error, including: 1) Fetching from a cursor after the last row has been retrieved and the ORA-1403 error returned. 2) If the cursor has been opened with the FOR UPDATE clause, fetching after a COMMIT has been issued will return the error. 3) Rebinding any placeholders in the SQL statement, then issuing a fetch before reexecuting the statement.
Action: 1) Do not issue a fetch statement after the last row has been retrieved - there are no more rows to fetch. 2) Do not issue a COMMIT inside a fetch loop for a cursor that has been opened FOR UPDATE. 3) Reexecute the statement after rebinding, then attempt to fetch again.
It's hard to diagnose without seeing the stored procedure code.
3. Re: ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence821051 Dec 3, 2010 9:18 PM (in response to gdarling - oracle)Greg your solution really worked fine.
I just created a transaction object from that connection and assigned to the command object and then executed the stored procedure.
It really worked just like that and I am able to fetch the data in a dataset.
Thanks Greg!!!

This ultra-nourishing cream is rich in emollients such as jojoba and vitamin E, infusing the skin with moisture. Botanicals work to reduce redness, plump up the skin, and restore its youthful elasticity and resilience.
I used to have terrible red dry itchy sensitive Irish skin. After two weeks of using this it all went away and I have been using this moisturizing cream for 3 years now!! During the spring/summer/fall I only need to apply a little at night and in the winter I apply twice a day making this little bottle last all year!
This is by far the best moisturizer I have ever used. I have used so many products, such as Nia24, Murad, MD Forte, Peter Thomas Roth, and this surpasses them all!!! Ultimate moisture, smooth consistency, perfect weight and smells great!!!
This product is great for sensitive skin. I was a little disappointed becasue it did nothing for fine lines and wrinkles. It did calm redness. If you are looking for a moiturizer that will calm redness and moiturize you will like this product. If you are looking for antiaging benefits look elsewhere.
Smooth over cleansed face and neck every morning and evening. Best for dehydrated, mature skin types. Perfect to restore moisture during travel. Ideal for sensitive or sensitized skin. As separation of natural ingredients may occur, mix before applying. Non-comedogenic..
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.

I'm a 22 year old cyclist from south Louisiana. I'm about to graduate from college and attend physical therapy school. I first got into cycling about 4 years ago when my physical therapist recommended bicycling as a form of rehabilitation after I had an ACL reconstructive surgery. So I got an old mountain bike and really fell in love with cycling. I decided to start doing triathlons since I really missed the thrill of competition that I used to experience from high school sports so I went ahead and bought an old 1992 Trek 1200 off a friend. I did triathlons for the next two years before I really found out that what I liked most about the racing and training was being on the road on the bike. Since then, I've become an avid cyclist. Recently, I've gotten very interested in touring. I plan to do a week long tour around Louisiana this summer, and, if I enjoy that as much as I'm thinking I will, I will proceed with my plans to do a tour across the northern United States in about three years after I get out of PT school.
The only bike I have right now is my old Trek, but I'm hoping to welcome a touring and a nice racing bike to the family.
I've ended up on this forum numerous times in the past looking for answers and opinions to cycling questions, so I finally decided, "Why don't I just join the forum?!"
I look forward to contributing to the bikeforums.net community!

The Latest NBA Rumors are coming to you hot from the Los Angeles Lakers (no surprise). This time, rumors are stating that the Los Angeles Lakers are interested in guard Leandro Barbosa.
- Barbosa's presence with Antawn Jamison would quickly help the Lakers' offensively challenged bench climb to an unstoppable one. Barbosa can score in bunches, either by attacking the rim (60.7%) or shooting a mid-range jumper (59.3%). Considering the Lakers are in dire need of more players who can create for themselves, Barbosa could help relieve the tentativeness the Lakers' reserves played with in the last few seasons. Because of Barbosa's ability to score in a hurry, he'd serve a great part in giving the Lakers a momentum boost midway through the first quarter. Meanwhile, such value would likely help Kobe Bryant conserve his minutes more this season.
Lakers can't be too picky this deep into free agency as they don't have many options. Barbosa fills a need as a backup shooting guard.
If the Lakers can convince him to take the veteran's minimum ($1.4 million), Barbosa is worth the pursuit.

Morning departure.
Takapoto is a small, ring-shaped reef formed of coral in the Tuamotu Islands. Walk along a magnificent white sand beach and enjoy a picnic lunch with your fellow shipmates. You can swim and snorkel in the translucent lagoon to watch the colorful ballet of tropical lagoon fish. You can also make some arts & crafts at the beach.
Relax with a book on one of the sun decks, swim in the small pool or enjoy the immense South Pacific. Balmy evenings mean reading in lounge/library or chatting with an authority on Marquesan culture or archaeology. You'll probably spend many evenings socializing on the upstairs deck/bar with your fellow adventurers from around the world. The spirited Polynesian crew treat you like welcomed guests and proudly introduce you to their rich culture. Almost every night, they sing and strum hypnotic Polynesian rhythms on their ukuleles and will teach you to move your hips to hypnotic beat of the tamure.
Sail into Taiohae's spectacular bay, a giant volcanic amphitheater dominated by towering cliffs streaked with waterfalls. As the Aranui unloads, you can explore Taiohae, the tiny Administrative capital of the Marquesas. Taiohae Bay is where a 23-year-old sailor, Herman Melville and a buddy jumped a whaling ship in 1842. Follow their escape route by jeep along steep, winding dirt mountain roads to the village of Hatiheu to visit an archeological site. Have lunch at Yvonne's Restaurant, one of the best restaurants in the Marquesas, where the specialty is pig baked in an underground oven. You'll meet the owner-chef, Yvonne, who also happens to be the town's energetic mayor. After lunch, travel to the valley of Taipivai. The area is dotted with stone tiki gods and sacred ritual sites (me'ae) and immense stone platforms (paepae) where the Taipi built their houses. Enigmatic petroglyphs of birds, sacred turtles and fish are carved on huge boulders. The Aranui's whaleboats will sail down the river to return you to the Aranui, which is anchored in the bay.
From the deck, you observe the soaring mountain spires of Ua Pou. Whenever the Aranui stops, villages greet it. As the muscular crew unloads supplies - from cements to sugar - and loads sacks of copra (dried coconut meat), you can explore the tiny town of Hakahau with its church lined with hand-carved wooden dais. You can meet some talented woodcarvers and hike up a hill for a breathtaking view of the distant cloud-covered mountains. At Rosalie's Restaurant, you'll taste your first Marquesan lunch: breadfruit, a marquesan staple, along with curried goat, barbecued rock lobster, poisson cru (raw fish marinated in lime juice and soaked in coconut milk), taro and sweet red bananas.
Today, take time to explore Atuona, the second largest village in Marquesas. This is where Paul Gauguin lived and did some of his best work. You can visit the colonial store where Gauguin shopped and go into a replica of the Impressionist's infamous "House of Pleasure." As you walk up the hill to the cemetery, you'll have sweeping views of the harbor. Beneath a huge frangipani tree is a tombstone with the simple words: Paul Gauguin 1903. Nearby is the grave of another famous European who also was seduced by Hiva Oa: Belgian singer-composer Jacques Brel, who died in 1978. You'll also enjoy another lavish Marquesan lunch at Hoa Nui Restaurant.
Fatu Hiva is the most lush and remote island of the Marquesan. It's also a center of Marquesan crafts. As our guides lead you through the village of Omoa, you'll see women hammering mulberry, banyan or breadfruit bark on logs. They dry it and then paint ancient Marquesan designs on their famous tapa cloth. Fatu Hiva is also well-known for its hand-painted pareus (sarongs) and monoi, a perfumed coconut oil scented with tiare blossoms and sandalwood. Skilled woodcarvers will invite you into their home/studios.
The Aranui sails to the other inhabited village. Hanavave is on the Bay of the Virgins, which is one of the world's most beautiful bays. Some athletic passengers may choose to make the trip by foot. On this unforgettable ten mile hike you'll have unforgettable views of towering cliffs and majestic waterfalls.
Travel by foot or by jeep to the most important archeological sites for tikis (ancient, human-like religious sculptures) other than Easter Island. Trained guides will show you these mysterious jungle ruins of Puamau and tell the stories of these haunting statues of an ancient civilization.
On this leaf-shaped island, the air is thick with fragrant scent of tiare, frangipani and history. In the tiny village of Vaitahu, Spanish explorers landed in 1595 and opened fire on a crowd of the curious islanders, killing about 200. Tahuata also is the site of the first French settlement in the Marquesas in 1842. The huge church built by the Vatican, is decorated with beautiful Marquesan carvings. Picnic in the Valley of Hapatoni and swim and snorkel at a nearby beach.
Visit a museum with exquisite replicas of Marquesan art. Some Aranui passengers will explore the island by four-wheel drive; others will ride the Marquesan horses. For three hours, explore the mountain landscape with heart-stopping views of the Pacific. The wild horses (brought from Chile in 1856) thrive here, outnumbering the islands 476 residents. Have a Marquesan lunch at local restaurant and have plenty of time to visit studios of woodcarvers. Visit the arboretum and the garden of fruits and flower. Back on the Aranui, it's Polynesian night with dancing and buffet dinner on the deck.
The Aranui will dock in Nuku Hiva at Taiohae in the morning. You may take the Le Truck back to the town center and spend free time there. At noon, the ship will sail to Ua Pou, returning to your first stop in the Marquesas, Hakahau. This is your last chance to buy Marquesan crafts.
Enjoy sun bathing on the deck, sipping exotic drinks while watching the crystal blue waters en route to Rangiroa.
The Aranui will anchor in the magnificent blue lagoon of Bora Bora. Here, you can spend the day at the white sand beach, snorkling and picnic. At the small cost, additional excursions will be available, including walking or bus island tours by the lagoon, swimming with rays and small sharks, a helicopter tour, and more!
Disembark this morning for your continued journey home.

Oscar Party!
I've shared about Robert Lambert before because I'm a huge fan of his products (and I made the best mousse with his Extreme Vanilla Bean Chocolate Sauce!) This was emailed to me (as a customer) and it's too wonderful not to share it. If you are having an Oscar party or gathering this week, or have been asked to one, this menu is awesome! Simple, elegant options. He's always being written up somewhere and I understand why...sheer magic! Here's the menu - enjoy! http://mim.io/d27f42

nobody was there............time to sell
what a great call i made last week........once it breaks 60 watch out below..........next week GME will be in the low 50.s
Who are these morons who make bad calls on a great company going nowhere buy up? This stock will go through the roof next week. There's NO WAY it can fail. Well, there's ways but it's almost impossible for YOUR way to happen. How could a record year for video game sales impact negatively on GME's price? It's the only player in the video game market that can be positively effected solely on great video game sales.
Short all you want after earnings reports, but doing it before will send you to a world of hurt.
"just look at GME ............BTW its goin donwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"- matrix2002m
LOL! That was your "great call" (whatever donw is)? I hope you gave yourself a pat on the back and a gold star too!
I think it's going uppppppppppp! I'll get back to you sometime within a week on when that prediction will be a great call.
Everyone was at home during the holidays enjoying the systems & games they got at gamestop... relax!
Liar. You are the same guy as albercania, sharkspammer, tymber, judythree etc. a paid basher on the wrong side of this. All of the stores have been packed since november you idiot. Again, you keep changing your name, bash, make stupid claims and then when you are proved wrong over and over and people refuse to read or block you you change your name. what a dolt.
OK Xray, don't make me get started making fun of you too...
You...are a Poo Poo Head
If you don't think the stock is any good, sell it and get off this board.

Where to Watch 4th of July Fireworks in the Bay Area
Every Fourth of July, fireworks light up the sky all across the bay. Here are your best bets for catching a glimpse of the spectacular celebrations—whether you're into official citywide celebrations, or *ahem* walking a little bit more on the wild (read: illegal) side.
Where To See Fireworks and Celebrate 4th of July
Big fireworks and bold American BBQ never get old. Celebrate the USA's 238th birthday this Friday with the best food, drink, and fiery festivities the Bay Area has to offer.
Where to Watch 4th of July Fireworks in Lake Tahoe
Nothing shouts 4th of July more than a day at the beach followed by a spectacular evening fireworks display over the water. Up in Tahoe, they've got that Independence Day tradition covered quite nicely.
Why Fourth of July in The Mission Kind of Sucks
The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday. No gifts, no obligations—just beer, pyrotechnics, grilled food and a long weekend. At least, it used to be my favorite holiday, until I moved to San Francisco five years ago. More specifically, I moved to San Francisco's Mission District. You may cry gentrification all you want, but trust me—on Independence Day weekend, the neighborhood, known for fancy coffee shops and slick restaurants, returns to its lawless, wild west-like roots. Lying in bed on July 2, 3, 4 or 5, listening to M80s being deployed what feels like mere inches from my bedroom window, I imagine I'm living in London during the Blitz and that someone in my building has accidentally forgotten to pull their black-out curtains.
A Guide to the Area's Best 4th of July Fetes
With the Fourth of July just around the corner, how will you celebrate our country's Independence Day? With so much on tap around the Bay Area, we'd wager you won't have any trouble finding something to do.
Groove alongside 100,000 of your closest friends to the tunes of some of the area's greatest jazz performers on three main stages. Arts, crafts and food vendors will occupy 10 blocks should you get restless and need to exercise your legs. July 4-5, 10am-6pm, free.

TINGALPA is set to become Queensland's first hardware battleground, with new kid on the block "Masters" going head to head with Bunnings.
This week the Woolworths-Lowe's alliance exclusively confirmed to The Sunday Mail that the east Brisbane suburb was to be the site of one of their first Queensland stores, expected to open in late 2011.
Woolworths hooked up with American hardware giant Lowe's last year and has been quietly securing 150 sites across Australia to begin their quest for a slice of the $36 billion market.
The store, with a working name of Masters, will open on the corner of Manly and New Cleveland Rds - the former site of Tingalpa Landscape Supplies.
But just 1km down the road, Bunnings is rumoured to have secured a large block of land on Wondall Rd.
Mitre 10 on Wondall Rd has read the writing on the wall and will close within 12 months, reopening as an outdoor furniture store, the first victim of the battle of the big boys. Peter Samios reckons his Mitre 10 would survive the onslaught of two mega-stores. But he doesn't want just to survive, he wants to thrive, so the answer is to bow out gracefully.
With son George, the pair will operate for another 10-12 months and then convert the two-storey property into a outdoor furniture, barbecue and living outlet.
"I get annoyed when people say 'oh, a business like Woolworths and Bunnings employ people'. Well, so do we," said Mr Samios, a 28-year veteran of the hardware game.
"What people don't understand about small business is that we create jobs for others and for ourselves, otherwise we would be in the dole queue."
Retail watchers predict consumers will be the big winners, with prices driven down by competition.
But Bunnings managing director John Gillam would not be drawn on the spoils of a price war.
He said the company would continue to innovate in the billion-dollar home improvement and outdoor market.
When announcing the Woolworths-Lowe's alliance, Woolworths chief executive Michael Luscombe said the sector was poorly serviced and pledged to bring better pricing and choice to the market.
"We're interested in adding choice to the industry and we believe we can improve the pricing, product range and experience for customers," Mr Luscombe said.
IBISWorld senior analyst Nick Sallmann said the Woolworths-Lowe's stores would be female-friendly and cater for all the family.
Mr Sallmann predicts Masters will be laid out more like a department store.

Frank of USA Posted at 9:52 PM June 20, 2010
Will this alliance drive down prices in the hardware industry and drive down the haurly wage in Australia compared to the US. Here is a comparison USA minimum wage is $6.75, in Australia it is $15.00
Pat from Brisbane Posted at 9:17 PM June 20, 2010
We need more competitors coming to the consumer markets. When will Costco and Walmart be in Brisbane? After spending last 2 months in USA, I found out items in our local sumpermarkets are 20 to 30% more expensive than in USA, at the same time, we have 10 to 20% less in varieties.

Don't let the No. 4 seed fool you — Sounders forward Eddie Johnson calls Los Angeles 'our Real Madrid... our Barcelona of MLS.'
CARSON, Calif. — The Los Angeles Galaxy came into the MLS Cup playoffs as one of the lowest seeds in the field.
So does that make them underdogs? Hardly.
"For me, this is the best team in the league," said Sounders FC forward Eddie Johnson, referring to the Galaxy. "This is our Real Madrid, this is our Barcelona of MLS."
And such is the formidable test ahead of Seattle in the Western Conference finals, a two-game, aggregate-goals series that kicks off at 6 p.m. Sunday at The Home Depot Center. It's a worthy challenge for a Sounders team looking to validate itself in MLS after its first playoff series win in four years.

"They're the defending champions," coach Sigi Schmid said of L.A., "and if you want to win a championship, you've got to beat all the teams that are put in front of you. The Galaxy is the team in front of us right now and that's the team we've got to beat if we want to win the championship."
The stars are what first come to mind with the Galaxy, from designated players David Beckham and Landon Donovan, to coach Bruce Arena, who led the U.S. men's national team in two FIFA World Cups.
But it is L.A.'s often less-heralded designated player, Robbie Keane, who is having the biggest impact. No more evident was that than in the team's conference semifinal against top-ranked San Jose, as Keane scored twice in the second leg of a series the Galaxy won 3-2 on aggregate.
"To me, in that game, Robbie Keane stepped up and said, 'Get on my back. I'll carry you over the line,' " Schmid said. "And he did."
So how do you stop the talented forward, who was voted the Galaxy's team MVP after scoring a team-high 16 goals in the regular season?
"I don't know, maybe get him some bad Irish beer or something," joked Schmid of the Irish international.
The actual game plan will be keeping Keane, who often drifts into the midfield, off the ball as much as possible. The lion's share of those defensive duties on Keane might fall to Seattle defender Jeff Parke, who Schmid said is playing some of the best soccer of his career.
Parke said he would have to stay tight with Keane to limit his chances throughout the game.
"It's not an easy task, but it's something we're up for," he said.
What also might help slow Keane is the playoff schedule. Sunday's game will be L.A.'s fourth in 11 days.
Schmid, whose team is playing its third game in 10 days, still expects the hosts to come out firing on offense. The key, he said, will be weathering that early pressure.
"I think they'll tire a bit in the second half," Schmid said, "and hopefully that will come to our advantage."
Burch suspended
for gay slur
MLS suspended Sounders FC's Marc Burch three games for his use of a gay slur in Thursday's playoff game at Real Salt Lake, effectively ending the defender's season. Burch, who was in line to start Sunday, was also fined an undisclosed amount and must attend diversity and sensitivity training.
"Major League Soccer has a zero tolerance policy in response to this type of behavior from its players or staff," said MLS commissioner Don Garber in a release. "While I understand and believe that Mr. Burch is remorseful, Major League Soccer is committed to providing an environment in which all individuals are treated with dignity and respect."
• Midfielder Mauro Rosales and defender Leo Gonzalez are questionable for the game. Schmid didn't rule either out.

I currently own this:
and I have finished desiging just about all of a recumbent trike that is front wheel drive and steer. I remember seeing a russian machine a few years back that had the same concept but it was made for road use unlike the off road monster I am trying to craft. I have started to machine up the small fiddly stuff first to see if I am capable of doing it, but I think if the uni joints hold up then it will all be ok. I still want to keep it very close to the weight of my current trike which is 15kg but I will use cro-mo this time which will help.
I am looking to make something that can go up inclines and terain that no other bike can. Also I am looking into leaving the option open for electric assist on the rear wheel to make it all wheel drive (3x3! ehhehee) with a lithium iron phosphate battery pack.
I want to hear form anyone who has any ideas/sujestions/questions/etc..

Keeping the trash away from the view
The Coleta + Rio [Collection +Rio], which will have 42 containers – 21 for organic products and another 21 for recyclables –, will be arriving in Brazil for the first time, and was inspired by the system adopted in the city of Portimão, in Portugal.
Today, anyone who walks through Barão de Tefé Street, in Gamboa – one of the districts that are being remodeled in the Port Region of Rio de Janeiro – may not notice two nondescript trashcans on the sidewalk. But a more attentive person will soon see that, under them, there is false flooring: it's there, under the earth, that the brand new district stores the trash collected from households and streets – therefore, far away from the eyes that meander through the city's new tourist attraction.
"The benefits are huge. First, we avoid accumulating trash on the streets, which brings rats and causes stench. Also, during the rainy season, this keeps the trash from being dragged to the gutters, causing floods", explains the president-director of the Porto Novo Concessionaire, José Renato Rodrigues Pontes.
The Coleta + Rio [Collection +Rio], which will have 42 containers – 21 for organic products and another 21 for recyclables –, will be arriving in Brazil for the first time, and was inspired by the system adopted in the city of Portimão, in Portugal. The system will have two underground deposits with capacity to store five tons of trash each. Using a key, an employee opens the deposit without much effort. Immediately afterwards, a special garbage truck is sent to hoist the containers via remote control.
With the new system, the collection can be done every three days, which minimizes the truck's impact on traffic and, consequently, the carbon gas emissions on the environment. Each underground container has a storage capability of 3 thousand liters of material – or 12 times more than a regular trash container.
The building of the system is also relatively simple. The excavation of the underground deposits is done as the remodeling repairs advance in the region. The new streets that are appearing in the Port Region have wider sidewalks, restructured sanitation and the installation of ducts for underground cables. The whole system is expected to be fully functional by 2015.
Besides, Porto Novo has already made contact with garbage collectors associations. The idea is to give everything that will be collected in the region to the garbage collectors, who will be responsible for the selection of the recyclable material. The Concessionaire is responsible not only for the building work on the area, but also for the trash collection on the streets and households. Porto Novo collects, on average, 2,6 tons of trash a month on the Port Region – 1,1 mil tons from the streets and 1,5 mil tons from households.

Tumultuous Times: Douglass as Abolitionist Orator, Agitator, Reformer, and Optimist, August 1842-June 1843
AS FREDERICK DOUGLASS' oratorical reputation increased during the first half of 1842, so did the demand for his services. The period from August 1842 through June 1843 was one of intense agitation and antislavery activity, the likes of which he had not experienced during his brief career as an abolitionist lecturer. In early August 1842, the executive committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society recognized Douglass' potential as a drawing card and hired him as one of eight agents to tour western and central New York from the end of August to the end of October. As the tour was winding down, George Latimer, a fugitive from slavery, was arrested and jailed in Boston and threatened with the prospect of being returned to the South and enslaved. Douglass immediately traveled to Boston and joined Charles Lenox Remond, William Lloyd Garrison, and Wendell Phillips in the battle for Latimer's release. In December the Rhode Island Anti-Slavery Society hired Douglass as a lecturer, and he spent much of the next four months in Rhode Island organizing conventions and lecturing against slavery. During the spring of 1843 he returned to Massachusetts and, under auspices of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, embarked on a brief lecture tour of eastern Massachusetts with Remond and Latimer. During the months of May and June he also attended the American, Connecticut, and New England antislavery societies' annual conventions, at which he spoke eloquently and with great effect.
During all these activities Douglass demonstrated his deep and abiding commitment to the antislavery movement. He weathered unfriendly audiences, health problems, inclement weather, and assaults on the abolitionist cause. To the repertoire of issues he had developed to date he added a

With a slew of uplifting singles and a band name like Blessid Union of Souls, it shouldn't be a shock to discover that the chart-topping Cincinnati band's frontman Eliot Sloan puts a lot of stock in his spiritual beliefs. But the band — one of the most commercially successful acts to ever come out of Cincinnati — was rarely overt about religion in its slick, hook-laden Pop songs. Until now. This Tuesday sees the nationwide release of Blessid Union's album The Mission Field, the most direct and explicit expression of Sloan's Christian beliefs on a BUoS release by a long shot.
This afternoon, the Facebook page of crucial, longtime MidPoint Music Festival supporters, Dewey's Pizza, announced the first handful of artists book to play this fall's MidPoint Music Festival. And, after early-bird discount tickets quickly sold out several weeks ago, the rest of the tickets are on sale now at mpmf.cincyticket.com.
The first batch of MPMF.13 performers is very representative of the bookings for MidPoint the past few years. You've got a Modern Rock legend, a few established acts, several current "buzz bands" and a few acts that, if past years' MPMFs are any indication, will be "buzz-worthy" by the time the festival rolls around, Sept. 26-28.
Here are the first 17 acts booked for MPMF.13, the 12th installment of the ever-growing music fest that utilizes various venues in Over-the-Rhine/Downtown. Below the list, you can check out a song by each artist on our first MPMF.13 playlist.
The Breeders (Dayton, Ohio)
One of the seminal bands of the "Alternative Revolution" in the '90s, The Breeders are currently promoting the 20th anniversary, expanded reissue of their classic Last Splash album. Though the Dayton-based Deal sisters (Kelley of R. Ring and Kim of Pixies) have kept musically active since Last Splash, with outside projects and The Breeders, the world tour for the reissue is special because it reunites the Deals with the album's lineup — bassist Josephine Wiggs and veteran Dayton drummer Jim MacPherson, who also spent time with Guided By Voices. The Breeders are playing Last Splash in its entirety on the whole tour.
The Head and The Heart (Seattle, Wash.)
One of the top acts of the "Indie Folk" movement, The Head and the Heart formed in Seattle in 2009. An early, self-made recording the band sold at initial shows ended up becoming so popular, local record stores began stocking it and trying to keep up with the surprising demand. The recording began making the music industry rounds, leading to a bidding war for the band. They ended up signing to hometown label Sub Pop within about a year of forming. The group's self-titled album was released to critical acclaim in 2011. The band's warm, ear-grabbing sound has been used a lot on TV spots; you might recognize their "Lost in My Mind," which was the background music for the trailer for the big hit film, Silver Linings Playbook.
Warpaint (Los Angeles)
With an airy, mesmerizing take on Psych Pop, L.A. quartet Warpaint caught the attention of mad guitar genius John Frusciante, who offered to mix the band's Exquisite Corpse EP. That release and a successful CMJ festival appearance led to Warpaint's signing to the legendary Rough Trade imprint. The label released the album The Fool in October 2010 and the band went back to their relentless touring schedule, which included dates with the likes of The xx, Yeasayer and The Walkmen. The band is currently prepping a new LP.
Foxygen (New York, NY/Olympia, Wash.)
Foxygen is the engagingly adventurous duo of Sam France and Jonathan Rado, who formed the group as 15-year-olds in 2005 and self-released a dozen or so albums while learning to play as many instruments as possible. The band's skewered Art Pop (akin to that of MGMT) with retro-underpinnings has been drawing attention since the release of the Foxygen full-length debut for the respected Jagjaguwar Records, the Richard Swift-produced We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic, at the start of this year.
Cody ChesnuTT (Atlanta, Ga.)
Singer/songwriter Cody ChesnuTT first came to a lot of people's attention as the lead vocalist on "The Seed (2.0)," a fairly big single off of The Roots' Phrenology album in 2002. That drove a lot of Roots fans to ChesnuTT's full-length from the same year, The Headphone Masterpiece, though what they heard on that album — an underproduced, ambling collection of demo-sounding tunes that surfed a wide range of genres with ADD-like abandon. A decade later, ChesnuTT has returned with a new focus, showcasing a balanced approach based in vintage Soul (vocally, he's quite similar to Marvin Gaye) and Rock & Roll, on the full-length, Landing on a Hundred.
Daughter (London, UK)
Originating as the "one-woman-band" recording project of singer/guitarist Elena Tonra, Daughter — now a trio, which Tonra's husband on guitar and drummer Remi Aguilella — mixes an Indie Folk base with subtle electronics, creating an emotive sound that can be whisper-quiet one moment and epically lush another. After a self-titled EP, Mumford & Son's Communion label released The Wild Youth EP. Often compared to Cat Power due to Tonra's vocals, last year, the band signed to the 4AD label, a fitting choice given the legendarily ambient sound that defined the label's artists in its early years. The label released the trio's debut, If You Leave, in March of this year.
METZ (Toronto, Canada)
Relentless in its sonic attack, Canadian three-piece METZ recalls a lot of the punchier Post Punk bands of the '80s/'90s, drawing comparisons to Big Black, The Jesus Lizard and any number of acts on the (early) Sub Pop and Dischord labels. After a few years of heavy touring, opening for like-minded bands Death from Above 1979, Mudhoney and NoMeansNo, the band signed with indie label legend Sub Pop, which released METZ's powerhouse self-titled debut last year.
Kishi Bashi (Norfolk, Va.)
Starting his career as a violinist for artists like Regina Spektor and of Montreal, Seattle-born multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter K Ishibashi went solo — under the less-confusing moniker Kishi Bashi — and began touring. Making engaging Indie Pop touched by Classical/Chamber influence, the Joyful Noise imprint released his first full-length album, 151A, last spring. There's a pretty good chance you've hear Kishi Bashi before, even if you didn't know it — his jaunty, Shins-ish single "Bright Whites" was used in a wide-running commercial for Windows 8.
Julianne Barwick (Brooklyn, NY)
Julianne Barwick makes angelic Ambient music based entirely on loops. The Southern-born experimental artist — signed to Asthmatic Kitty Records — creates her compositions by using a loop station and crafting elegant layers of sonic haze, using mostly piano, her voice, some percussion and guitar. Barwick — who recently announced her signing to Dead Oceans and a new album set for August — is an up-and-comer in the Avant Garde/New Music world, recently scoring an invite recently to Yoko Ono's Meltdown Festival in the U.K.
Spectrals (Yorkshire, U.K.)
Spectrals was originally the work of one dude, British singer/songwriter Louis Jones (with just a little help from his brother on drums). Spectrals' wandering sound touches on everything from Nuggets-esque Garage to swaying, elegant Pop (threaded with reverbed-out, Surf-ish guitar). Jones signed to the Slumberland label in the States, which released his first album, Bad Penny, in 2011. For Spectrals' latest, the Sob Story album, Jones, for the first time, had some help from other musicians (who aren't related to him).The album is due June 18.
Dent May (Oxford, Miss.)
Singer/songwriter Dent May makes unabashed Pop music, the kind that forces a smile on your face regardless of your troubles. The Mississippi resident singed with Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label in 2008 and released The Good Feeling Music of Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele, which drew comparisons to the likes of The Beach Boys, The Turtles and Prefab Sprout. For last year's self-titled album, May put away the uke and decided it was time to dance. The album is a cooly eclectic collection of dynamic electronic Pop, retaining those classic Pop/Rock influences, but adding elements of Disco, Funk, R&B Electro.
Grandfather Child (Houston, Texas)
Grandfather Child was formed in Houston in 2009 by members of various other local bands. The group hit upon a compelling "formula," creating a kitchen-sink sound that is loaded with influence from R&B, Soul, early Rock & Roll and Gospel music, resulting in a pretty psychedelic vibe. The band is signed to New West Records, which released Grandfather Child's eponymous 9-track album last summer.
The Ghost Wolves (Austin, Texas)
With a blistering sound created by just two people — guitarist Carley and drummer Jonny Wolf (both sing) — The Ghost Wolves traveled many miles across the country to build a fan base one explosive show at a time. The group's debut was the raw and rugged In Ya Neck! EP, which showcased the Wolves' fuzzy take on stompin' Blues Rock expertly, like a two-piece version of The Cramps. The band is getting set to release its debut full-length, Man, Woman, Beast.
Jeecy and The Jungle (Detroit)
Known for their reportedly incredible like show, Detroit's Soul rockers Jeecy and the Jungle represent two sides of Detroit's music heritage, blending a modern-day Garage Rock energy with influence from classic Soul artists. Last summer, the band released its impressive five-track EP, Twist and Scream.
Caveman (New York, NY)
Caveman is an NYC quintet that makes atmospheric Indie Rock with the kind of soft-breeze effervescence found in everything from the best vintage "AM Gold" songs to Fleet Foxes. The band released its debut in 2010, CoCo Beware, built a following and signed to notable label, Fat Possum Records, which re-released the debut and also the recent self-titled full-length, which has been garnering great reviews.
Perfume Genius (Seattle, Wash.)
Perfume Genius is Mike Hadreas, a Seattle singer/songwriter and visual artist whose 2010 debut caught the attention of the Indie music press corps. Quickly signed to the esteemed Matador Records, Perfume Genius' latest is Put Your Back N 2 It, a gentle, intimate collection of spectral, folksy songs.
PHOX (Madison, Wisc.)
Slanted, sparse yet broad Indie/Folk/Pop band PHOX started turning heads this year with consistent touring and a knock-out appearance at South By Southwest. The band recently released its latest EP, Confetti, which also has a companion "video EP," featuring short films for every track that the group members made simultaneously with the musical recording.
AN OPEN LETTER to the four million members of the National Rifle Association:
Dear fellow citizen,
The NRA released a statement yesterday on your behalf expressing that you all are "shocked, saddened and heartbroken" by the news of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary. Yes, we all are.
For years you have willingly given your money to an organization that has largely ignored pleas from policemen across our country to limit access to assault weapons and armor piercing ammunition.
You have spent countless millions of dollars silencing and vilifying voices that, while supportive of gun ownership, were calling for moderation in the distribution of weapons that could be used for mass destruction of human life, including the gun used by Friday's killer that shot one first grader 11 times. And 19 other first grade children. And 6 adults in the space of a few minutes…
When previous heartbroken victims of gun violence who lost children or spouses tried to speak out to hopefully help prevent others from suffering similar unspeakable loss, you rallied for your rights, and gave the suffering no quarter.
For years you have marketed the idea to the citizens of this country that the US government is a potential enemy bent on harming its own citizens, and the only way we could all be safe was if we each purchased a private arsenal of weapons.
While you are reportedly "shocked, saddened and heartbroken," how many of your members after Friday's shooting have changed their profile pictures to images of guns, or tweeted messages like "I'm buying a gun the day after Christmas. Join me! #NRAlifelongmember" How many of your members boasted last Friday that they were going to take their kids to a firing range?
You continue to lobby in support of all of us carrying concealed weapons into schools, day care centers, movie theaters, and public squares. You argue that if only we could all walk around packing heat, our society could be safer and more peaceful. You lobby for wider "stand your ground" laws, so we can all load up and take the law into our own hands and play judge and jury (and God?) in the heat of the moment.
The members among you who call themselves Christian often bemoan the fact that "God has been removed from our schools" and yet those very members ignore the direct teachings of Jesus as recorded in Scripture that call upon all followers of Christ to work to break the cycle of violence and not return evil for evil.
Too many of us have stood by silently while you've played the part of the playground bully in our public discourse, and distorted our constitution for profit. While we as a nation have improved upon the vision of our "founding fathers" to end slavery in this country, to allow women the right to vote, and to outlaw hate crimes, you cling rigidly to a few words written when the right to bear arms referred to a single shot muzzle loading rifle.
Your voice has been powerful and strident, and too many of us have remained silent in our disbelief of what we were hearing from you. Our silence has been deadly.
If you are indeed "shocked, saddened and heartbroken" consider the part (if you are able and willing to join the rest of us in searching our souls) your organization has played when it comes to last Friday's shooting. Consider the fear that your organization markets. Consider the bitter fruit of your labors that we must all taste.
And please consider asking forgiveness, changing your ways, and offering whatever healing you are capable of to the hurting in Newtown, Connecticut, as opposed to condoning responding to violence with still ever more violence, ad nauseum.
Unless you can do your part (along with the rest of us), and change in response to Friday's tragedy, there will be still worse to come.
I live on a small farm in Ohio, own two guns (and my own business) and have family members who are big game hunters. I am rethinking my responsibility as a citizen of this country. We all are. I invite you to do the same.
You're holding your big press conference tomorrow. We'll be listening. But I am confident that many millions of us will no longer be silent.
The city of Cincinnati memorialized a fallen local musician Friday by unveiling Michael Bany Way in Over-the-Rhine. Formerly called Jail Alley, it runs off of Main Street, where Bany was killed in 1995 following a performance.
Bany's brother Mark has worked tirelessly to recognize his brother's accomplishments and to help the local music community via the Michael W. Bany Music Scholarship Fund. At Friday's event Mark presented this year's scholarship to Jalessa Andrews, who will attend Bethune-Cookman College to pursue a degree in music education.
We received word this afternoon that legendary Funk guitarist and Cincinnati native Phelps "Catfish" Collins succumbed to cancer today at the age of 66. Collins (along his younger brother Bootsy) was an architect of Funk as a member of James Brown's JB's, Parliament/Funkadelic (fellow P-Funk guitarist Gary Shider passed away just a couple of months ago) and Bootsy's Rubber Band and was responsible for some of the greatest Funk guitar riffs every laid down.
In our local music column Spill It from the CityBeat issue out today, we announced the lineup for this year's much anticipated MusicNOW festival, which includes a closing-night headlining appearance by Cincinnati-bred Indie music stars The National on May 15.
National guitarist Bryce Dessner is the brains behind MusicNOW, which began in 2006 and has featured unique performances by some of Indie music's biggest names, as well as up-and-comers and those on the edgier fringe of modern Classical/Chamber music. Dessner's Avant Chamber group Clogs has played the fest in the past, but this is The National's first time at MusicNOW.
Something (or a few things) unanticipated usually happens at the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards show every year. After all, it's a night where hundreds of local musicians are put together in a room with loud music and multiple cash bars.
But the biggest unexpected element of last night's CEAs at the Madison Theater in Covington was its runtime. Not only a first for the CEAs but perhaps a first in the history of all awards show, the briskly paced show was over early — in about 2 and a half hours, 30 minutes sooner than expected. Efficient stage management and a more streamlined run of show that kept the focus on live performances and the 19 award presentations (winners listed below) helped the event wrap up in record time.
We told you a few weeks back about the lineup for the MidPoint Indie Summer concert series on Fountain Square, featuring numerous (primarily local) Indie and Rock acts every Friday this summer from 7-11 p.m. Click here for the full rundown.
But there are many other popular themed nights returning this summer to both Fountain Square and Washington Park, which re-opened after a major makeover in time to introduce live music nights last summer for the first time. (Both spots are managed by the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC).
Fountain Square's PNC Summer Music Series will have live music five days a week, while Washington Park will host three themed music nights this summer. All events are free and a great way to enjoy our city's central districts. The concerts begin at the end of May/start of June and run through the end of August/start of September. Be sure to check the official websites of both venues for any updates, additions or cancellations.
• Every Tuesday from 7-9 p.m., the Square presents "American Roots" night. This year, the lineup is the strongest its been, showcasing the best of Greater Cincinnati's rich Roots/Americana scene (as well as a few regional faves).

The sixth-seeded San Jose Sharks can earn themselves a trip to the second round Tuesday as they look to complete a sweep of their Western Conference first-round series when they host the Northwest Division champion Vancouver Canucks. San Jose, which never has swept a playoff series, walked into Rogers Arena and scored twice in the third period to post a 3-1 victory in Game 1 and steal home-ice advantage from third-seeded Vancouver. The Sharks pulled out a 3-2 win in Game 2 as Patrick Marleau tied the contest with 56 seconds remaining in the third session and former Canuck Raffi Torres tallied at 5:31 of overtime.
Vancouver switched goaltenders for Game 3, going from Roberto Luongo to Cory Schneider with the hope of turning the series around. The move backfired early in the third period as San Jose scored three goals in a 2:27 span to turn a close game into a rout. Schneider, who was returning from an undisclosed injury that sidelined him for four contests, was pulled after allowing five goals on 28 shots.
TV: 10 p.m. ET, CNBC, TSN, RDS, CSN California (San Jose)
ABOUT THE CANUCKS: Coach Alain Vigneault has a tough decision on his hands regarding his starting goaltender for Game 4. During his postgame press conference, Vigneault admitted that Luongo was not the reason the Canucks lost the first two games. Considering Schneider struggled in his return while Luongo stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief, the latter could be back between the pipes Tuesday. Daniel Sedin recorded his 66th career postseason point with an assist on Sunday, tying him with Pavel Bure for third place on the franchise list. The Canucks found themselves short-handed eight times and paid the price as San Jose scored three power-play goals. "I don't know what happened except that we spent way too much time in the penalty box," captain Henrik Sedin said. "We have to stay calm. It's really just a few small things that are costing us, like taking the extra penalty."
ABOUT THE SHARKS: Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski were the offensive stars on Sunday, combining for four goals and three assists. Couture, who scored twice and set up two tallies, became the fourth player in franchise history to register four points in a playoff game. He joined Sergei Makarov (1994), Mike Ricci (1999) and Jeremy Roenick (2008). Couture also is the fourth Shark to score two power-play goals in a postseason game and the first to record two in the same period. Marleau also scored Sunday, giving him a goal in each game of the series. Couture and Marleau tallied nine seconds apart, falling one second shy of the record for the fastest two goals in franchise playoff history. John MacLean and Ron Sutter scored eight seconds apart against the Dallas Stars in 1998.
1. Including the regular season, San Jose is 6-0-0 against Vancouver in 2013.
2. Vancouver C Ryan Kesler won 13-of-24 faceoffs in Game 3. The rest of the Canucks combined to win 17-of-47 draws.
3. Sharks D Marc-Edouard Vlasic will play in his 72nd career postseason game Tuesday, giving him sole possession of first place on the franchise list among blue-liners. He tied Mike Rathje for the top spot on Sunday.
PREDICTION: Sharks 4, Canucks 2

Touring In The Galapagos Islands
2002|Case No.SI36
Touring In The Galapagos Islands
This material is designated for use in specific Stanford GSB classes only. For inquires, contact the Case Writing Office.
The Galapagos Islands are referred to as the birthplace of modern day ecotourism. Alongside fishing, the business of providing "eco-tours" has become the principle means of income for the approximately 16,000 inhabitants spread among the five inhabited islands. Mostly using locally owned, live-aboard boats, operators conduct tours ranging from three days to two weeks for small groups of up to twenty passengers. While giving brief mention to the fishing industry in the Galapagos Islands, this case focuses on the Angelito, a 70 foot wooden yacht, owned by the Andrade brothers, both born and raised in the Galapagos. The case explores the various economic and environmental issues that the Andrade brothers face in operating the Angelito and their cruise business, giving special attention to the efforts of local Galapoeans to preserve and enhance their business prospects.

Book Reviews
In my opinion, this larger conclusion is essentially correct. Econometricians
may argue endlessly over technical measures of "efficiency" and what may have
happened to slavery if demand for cotton declined, but it seems almost un-
arguable now that slave labor brought profits to masters and contributed to ag-
ricultural development across much of the South, especially in newer areas
such as Texas. It has been unfortunate that many of those who opposed slavery
on moral grounds felt compelled to present their case in economic terms and
on the basis of the cruelty of the system in order to win political support be-
cause arguments over profitability and cruelty have drawn attention away from
the central issue of morality. The economics of slavery and the treatment ac-
corded slaves are important in numerous ways, but conclusions on those sub-
jects can never serve as defenses of slavery and are unnecessary to condemn the
institution. That assumption, which was implicit in Time on the Cross, is made
explicit in this volume. Perhaps by doing so Fogel will have better luck with the
reviewers this time around.

Conflict and Compromzse: The Polzitical Economy of Slavery, Emancipation, and the
American Czvil War. By Roger L. Ransom. (Cambridge: Cambridge Univer-
sity Press, 1989. Pp. xv+317. Preface, tables, graphs, maps, notes, epi-
logue, appendix, bibliography, index, $39.50.)
To use a favorite word of the econometricians, this is an attempt at "macro"
history-or, in more mundane terms, "big picture" history. Previously noted
for his cliometric studies of the postbellum South, usually in collaboration with
Richard Sutch, economist-turned-historian Roger Ransom has now retreated in
time to provide an interpretive analysis of slavery and emancipation during the
century between the Declaration of Independence and the end of Reconstruc-
tion. The result is a work based overwhelmingly on secondary sources-chiefly
of the quantitative genre-that offers a series of largely unremarkable
Ransom contends that the presence of slavery in a free society represented a
contradiction that could only be resolved through war. Not only did slavery
(the key issue being containment rather than abolition) precipitate that war,
but it also profoundly affected the outcome by exerting a unifying influence
on the North and a divisive influence upon the South. In addition to eschewing
the use of slave manpower until it was too late, the Confederacy was plagued by
the mounting resentment of nonslaveholders and by certain features of the
slave-based economy that sapped morale and contributed to ultimate defeat.
Finally, the changes wrought by emancipation presented the postwar genera-
tion with insoluble problems that left the chasm between North and South as
deep as ever. While Republican ascendancy promoted the triumph of Indus-
trial capitalism in the North, the South fell victim to the evils of sharecropping
and the lien system. Ransom terms the resulting economic backwardness of the
region "the legacy of 250 years of racial slavery " (p. 285).

Tallahassee, FL - Members of the Democracy for America and Concerned Citizens of Florida delivered 6,993 petitions to Florida Governor Rick Scott's office Wednesday afternoon.
The groups say the school grading system unfairly rewards wealthier schools... and say funding should go to the most needy schools.
Tazh Hall helped to deliver the petitions. He says, "The tests may not accurately reflect how good a teacher's going in one school because of the other contingent circumstances that are taking place in the neighborhood and in that community that don't allow those children an equal opportunity."
The group also delivered petitions to the Florida Speaker of the House, Senate President, and the state Board of Education.

[edit] Background
Bubsy the Bobcat comes to the Super Nintendo in Bubsy II. You take control of Busby as he runs and jumps through a series of levels. As with any cat, Bubsy just can't resist the allure of a ball of yarn. But it's not always playtime; his biggest enemies are not the creatures that inhabit the levels but the seconds that keep ticking away.
[edit] Gameplay
Bubsy moves very fast and can also jump very high. Bubsy kills the enemies by jumping on their heads. The levels are large and can be accessed right from the beginning of the game (except the ultimate level), starting in either west or east wing. There are five types of regular levels: Egyptian pyramid, sci-fi space-like environment, a world filled with musical instruments and notes, a "green" level with trees and hills, and a side-scrolling group of levels where Bubsy has to navigate an airplane.

The Runciman Mission was Neville Chamberlain's instrument to stall on resolving the impasse at Prague between the government and its Sudeten German minority, which was directed and financed from abroad. When Hitler declared himself the virtual guarantor of Sudeten rights and claims, the controversy began to threaten the Prague government. The mission quickly gained the aspect of negotiator between aggressive Germany and hapless Czechoslovakia. The role of impartial mediator was assumed by the British leaders whose secret new policy was to give greedy Adolf Hitler "his bellyful of Europe." But this revised policy was kept secret and had to be rendered acceptable to public opinion wherever.
Viscount Walter Runciman had impeccable qualifications for the job. He could be counted on for loyalty to the Foreign Office and its objectives. As an ex-minister of wide and varied experience, he had an international reputation for integrity and impartiality. He was a man of wit and charm who was esteemed in aristocratic circles, as elsewhere. One of the British government insiders said of him: "Someone would have to accompany him and do most of the work, but he could be relied on to put results across."1
Sir Frank Ashton Gwatkin was appointed as that "someone," the "workhorse" deputy to Lord Runciman. Ashton Gwatkin was an internationalist of competence and experience, especially in the sphere of German relations. As high counselor of the Foreign Office, he had served as aide to Sir Horace Wilson, who later became Chamberlaln's special envoy to Berlin.2

SEATTLE (AP) — Investigators say an unused, unstamped train ticket helped lead to charges against a Seattle man in the abduction and killing of a 7-year-old Illinois girl in 1957.
DeKalb County prosecutors charged 71-year-old Jack Daniel McCullough on Friday with murdering Maria Ridulph, who was last seen playing with a friend near her home in Sycamore, about 50 miles west of Chicago. Her remains were found five months later.
McCullough claimed he took the train from Rockford to Chicago the day of the abduction. But The Seattle Times reports a woman who dated McCullough at the time last year found an unused, unstamped train ticket from Rockford to Chicago dated the day the girl went missing.
It's unclear whether McCullough has an attorney. He remains jailed in Seattle on $3 million bond.

On FDIC's motion to dismiss trustee's fraudulent transfer claim based on bank holding company's obligations under capital maintenance guaranty of failed bank, court determined that 1) the capital maintenance guaranty was an asset of the failed bank under FIRREA; 2) there is no bankruptcy exception to FIRREA's administrative claims process; 3) FIRREA's jurisdictional bar did not divest the bankruptcy court of jurisdiction over trustee's defensive constructive fraudulent transfer claim; and 3) FDIC's compliance with the statutory requirements did not conclusively establish reasonably equivalent value for purposes of defeating the trustee's claim. 498 B.R. 322 (Bankr.D.N.M. 2013); Case No. 7-11-11916; Adversary Njurisjuro. 13-1033 – Docket No. 17

Court declined to revoke debtor's discharge or declare creditor's debt nondischargeable, based on untimeliness of the complaint, creditor's knowledge of the facts prior to entry of discharge, and failure of proof on the merits. Court found that creditor violated the automatic stay, but awarded no damages because of a failure of proof of damages.

In my 20 years experience as a money coach there are 3 areas you need to focus on to move you to the next
level of money. You then keep taking steps in each area until you get to your desired amount.
Surely if it were that easy, everyone would be rich?
It is a question I ask myself a lot especially when I try and help someone and they say "don't be silly is
can't be that simple".
Yes it is that simple.
No you can't just think one day I want to be a millionaire and expect the money to show up, you do need to
take some action, however it is certainly not rocket science. Mostly it is a willingness to look at yourself and
then to follow the steps in each area.
What are the areas to work on?
Are you really, ready because I am going to give you the answer?
1. Attitude and Beliefs
2. Facts and Figures
3. Goals and Dreams
YES REALLY that is it.
Improving one thing in each of these areas WILL take your money situation to the next level.
So why don't people do this I hear you ask?
For many reasons, mainly because people resist change but also each of these areas requires a different skill
and uses different parts of the brain. Most people focus on one or two areas or don't do them consistently,
even for a month.
The 2 most popular examples are:
Clients creating and believing fantastical goals but they have no idea of their facts and figures.
Brilliant spreadsheets with all their facts and figures duly documented but they don't believe they can
improve their situation
YES the critical thing is working on all 3 areas so you move to the next level.
What are the ALL steps to take in each area?
1 Move your attitude and beliefs from negative to positive.
2 Know your facts and figures - how much you earn/spend/save/debts
3 Dream what you want then set realistic goals to get you there
That's it!
Go on, instead of spending hours worrying about money, just spend a couple of hours sorting it out.
There are loads of books and websites to help you if you get stuck.
My name is Jenny Bracelin and I have been a money coach for 20 years. I find money theory so exciting that
money books became my bedtime reading!
We also like help, so if you want help with your money read on
"Thank you for all the advice, help & confidence you have given me. You have been a breath of fresh air when I least expected it and
absolutely needed it. There are good people out there after all!" C.S.
