Right, that's it from us, you can read our Everton vs Arsenal match report by clicking right here.
Arsenal were outplayed by Everton, and with all the talk of Wenger needing to prove himself against Martinez ahead of the match, he wasn't done any favours by his team.
Roberto Martinez certainly looks every part the young prince, next in line for a throne at a top European club.
On this season's evidence, Arsene Wenger looks to have lost the ability to motivate his players, and it now looks as if his side might not even qualify for the Champions League.
Full time: Everton 3-0 Arsenal (Naismith, Lukaku, Arteta OG)
It's all over... and I must say that's probably the worst of the terrible Arsenal performances so far this season. They might not have conceded six, but they were truly embarrassed by Everton.
Rare moment of brilliance from Arsenal. Well actually, it's just from the Ox, who cuts in and fires goalwards, rattling the crossbar after a fingertip save from Tim Howard.
Coleman manages to perform keepy-uppies for about thirty yards leaving Cazorla in his wake.
Cazorla has the audacity to appeal to the ref, no idea what he's appealing for. Only thing I can think of is that he might have been asking the ref to call the game off early.
Gunners still being totally embarrassed by Everton.
Arsenal sub: Giroud OFF, Sanogo ON
Impact sub Sanogo comes on, for what will presumably be 20 minutes of aimlessly heading the ball.
Arsenal sub: Flamini OFF, Podolski OFF, Ramsey ON, Oxlade-Chamberlain ON
Double sub from Arsene Wenger, who needs a miracle. He's needed one of them on multiple occasions this season, but they have not been forthcoming... to put it kindly.
Everton fans now cheering every successful pass made by their side, who are totally humiliating Arsenal.
This is actually awkward to watch now, the Arsenal players showing their lack of work rate, lack of desire, lack of effort.
Oh dear, oh dear oh dear.
Hate to put the boot in, but sometimes it has to be done...
Good to see a #MutedCelebration from Arteta after scoring against his current club http://t.co/8u7kMUFvRz— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) April 6, 2014
Can't imagine what Arteta is feeling right now. To be fair, it's not the sort of own goal that you could call a clanger, if he didn't put it in the back of the net, then Mirallas would have.
Kevin Mirallas was ready to pounce on a loose ball on the box when Arteta lunged in to tackle him, instead of tackling his man, he ended up putting the ball in the back of the net.
GOAL: Everton 3-0 Arsenal (Arteta OG)
Arteta scores for Everton! Wait, what? It's an own goal, and you really couldn't make this stuff up.
Former Toffee Arteta makes life very difficult for his current side, Arsenal, and just took the sting out of the Gunners' hopes of a comeback.
Well, in the opening few minutes of this half, at least you can't say Arsenal aren't trying.
They've troubled Tim Howard a few times, and they're beginning to look like they might just be able to get themselves back into this.
For all of Everton's attacking prowess, they're struggling to get the basics covered at the back at the moment. By flooding the channels, they're often leaving just two men at the back.
We're back underway at Goodison Park, and if Arsenal want anything out of this match, if they want to prove the doubters wrong, they'll need to put in one heck of a performance now.
This made us laugh at Mirror Towers. Funny because, today, it is most definitely true.
There are smatterings of #WengerOut on Twitter. But a GiroudOut hashtag would be much more apt today. Ramsey is warming up at half time, could he come on and make a difference?
To be honest, even Viviano would be a better option than Giroud up front at the moment.
Half time: Everton 2-0 Arsenal (Naismith, Lukaku).
This is not looking good at all for Arsenal, if this result stands, Everton will be just one point behind the Gunners in the Premier League table, AND they have a game in hand.
Arsene Wenger must now give the team talk of his life and try and motivate his players into turning this one around.
In fact, let Flamini give the team talk, he seems like the only player in a red shirt who cares, to be honest.
Flamini earns himself a place in the book, and his yellow card means he will miss Arsenal's FA Cup clash against Wigan.
As Redknapp pointed out on Sky Sports earlier, Arsenal get thumped without Flamini.
Jose Mourinho eat your heart out. THAT's the striker you should have kept hold of.
For a guy of Lukaku's size, he always surprises with his agility. Pace, power and skill combine once again, and Everton are 2-0 up.
Lukaku seems to be able to go straight through defenders, or spin around them, not many strikers have that combination of balance and power.
GOAL: Everton 2-0 Arsenal (Lukaku)
Lukaku makes it 2-0 to Everton, this is an absolute disaster for Arsenal now.
Naismith hooks up with Mirallas who swings it out wide to Lukaku. The Belgian makes a darting run down the right hand side, cuts in, and fires home to double the Toffees' lead.
Arsenal aren't completely hopeless here, they're just largely hopeless.
Tim Howard is being kept on his toes by the occasional Arsenal counter-attack, but they don't look dangerous in the box.
Once again Flamini is proving to be Arsenal's best player today, the passion with which he plays seems to be severely lacking in many of his team-mates.
Everton still providing a lot of grief for Arsenal in the final third, Szczesny is having to earn his money today.
He's kept out a few close range efforts now, and you wonder how much longer Arsenal can ride the storm without conceding another.
Mirallas fires one down low to the Arsenal 'keeper's right, but Szczesny does brilliantly to keep it out.
Just to let everyone know, BainseDog is not a thing and it can never become a thing.
Everton are still 1-0 up, playing some very attractive football. Arsenal, on the other hand, are totally imploding every time they get anywhere near the final third.
Bring the Ox on at left-wing and push Podolski up-front, take off Giroud and leave him off until the summer transfer window.
That'd be my advice anyway, always works on FIFA 14, which is definitely the most realistic FIFA so far.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora did not take part in the New York Giants' walkthrough workout Wednesday.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin says Umenyiora is being listed as day to day and it is uncertain he will make his 2011 debut against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Umenyiora had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee early in training camp and he has not practiced with the team. He looked good working out with trainers on Friday, but Coughlin said Umenyiora has felt good one day and regressed the next in his rehabilitation.

Help Somebody
Maurice white, donald whitehead & wade flemons
No man should have face to face
His problems alone, alone, alone
Reach out and help the weak man
Make him strong, strong, strong
Now i want to help somebody
I'd like to help you, you, you
Now don't that make you want to
Help somebody too, too, too
*the love you give
Might help somebody live
So give yourself
Go out and help somebody else
Your helping hand
Will make you a better man
Do wah, do way, let love prevail
Reach out and help somebody
Reach out and help somebody
If we all stand together
We'll all stand tall, tall, tall
We wouldn't let each other
Tumble and fall, fall, fall
Now let's reach down together
And lift somebody up, up, up
Give a little love and kindness
It won't take much, much, much
Reach out your hand and help somebody today

Customer Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TKBK Cat with Feline Cystitis Several months ago we noticed our cat was urinating outside of her litter box and we found blood present. We rushed her to the vet and she was diagnosed with Feline Cystitis. After multiple rounds of antibiotics in which she would get better only briefly and trips to the vet that were incredibly stressful for both the cat and myself, I decided to research non invasive ways to relieve her symptoms. I switched her to a wet cat food only diet (dry cat food is one of the primary causes of this condition) and this seemed to help somewhat but never completely alleviated the problem. I then came across this product by Googling holistic remedies for FC. I ordered the Wysong Biotic PH and began sprinkling this on her wet cat food with every feeding. I am quite happy to report that her symptoms have all but disappeared. Stress and the occasional dry treat can still cause her to relapse but when it does happen it is not as severe as before and the episodes never last as long. I am so relieved that this worked so well and that my little kitty is a healthy, happy, pain-free girl again :) As we know every animal is different in how they respond to treatment, but I can say in my situation it was highly successful.

As we know, cross-border communications is never easy, particularly in Europe. And it was not so many years ago that the media industry was crying out for more international research. Now it seems as if we're inundated with the stuff. So, what are the differences between the European Media & Marketing Survey and Europe 2004?
EMS is perceived by many to be the industry standard. Launched in its current form in 1996, it was the first survey to measure international and national readership and offered planners the opportunity to compare regional media with indigenous schedules. This year's survey is the eighth published by the research group Interview NSS in as many years.
In 2002, Interview NSS brought TV into the picture with the launch of EMS TV. This allowed detailed planning and scheduling against a variety of target groups. EMS now offers multimedia schedule analysis by combining measurement of print, TV, the internet, in-flight entertainment and cinema with the largest and broadest sample size.
And what of its main rival? Europe 2004 is the latest installment of what is known as the Europe series, which was launched by Ipsos just four years ago. It offers access to Europe's highest-earning decision-makers, and here lies the biggest difference between the surveys. The Europe series' universe consists of the top 4 per cent of adults in Europe, making it a highly attractive proposition to upmarket advertisers.
EMS is the larger, but broader, survey, which covers the top 20 per cent of Europe's most affluent people. It provides access to in-depth marketing data, has nine years of measurable trends and has recently been awarded an IPA Seal of Approval.
Europe 2004 is a rolling survey that comprises data from the field periods of the preceding two, Europe 2002 and Europe 2003. The introduction of easy-to-use software that can evaluate pan-European TV campaigns has enabled media planners to measure reach, frequency and optimum spot placement to guarantee they get the biggest bang for their bucks.
The last survey in the Europe 2000 series provided data covering more than 300 major publications, the viewing of more than ten European TV stations and the usage of 28 websites. By comparison, EMS monitors 400 publications, 15 European TV stations and 30 websites.
But size isn't everything. Sure, EMS monitors more stations and publications, but the direct relevance to the international community of having all that data has often been brought into question.
Both surveys have recognised the importance of introducing lifestyle elements to their questionnaires to delve deeper into the lives of Europe's rich and powerful. How often do you fly abroad? How much are you prepared to splash out on a watch?
So little is known about this massively important target group that the launch of these sections was critical.
But it is EMS that has taken the lead in this respect. In recent years it has developed its lifestyle section to the extent that it clearly distinguishes the two surveys.
Lastly, EMS and the Europe series both evaluate the media performance of a schedule in countries where pan-European titles aren't measured.
This helps to fill a gap in our understanding of the European media landscape.
Which of the surveys' methodologies is more robust? And how have they innovated to give more information for media planners?
Each survey undoubtedly has its strengths. Their lists of subscribers are testament to this. Both boast leading national and international media owners such as National Geographic and Time magazine, plus many of the big agencies and advertisers.
Both surveys have had to develop their methodologies over the years.
Their user groups have demanded it, aware that we need to get a better understanding of different European audiences. Better response rates and bigger sample sizes and representation have been crucial to winning more confidence from the media community.
The provision of more accurate data and the improved ability to plan and evaluate TV and print campaigns at a local level has grown healthily over the years, making both surveys increasingly valuable for media owners and planners. And adding attitudinal statements and segmentation analyses on each survey has given planners better targeting opportunities.
To many, it would seem that the content and methodologies of each of the two surveys are on a collision course. Last month, EMS put itself directly on a par with the Europe series when it decided to research the top 3 per cent of Europe's big earners by launching EMS Select.
How much longer the two surveys will be able to differentiate themselves we will have to see. Over the next 12 months, it will be interesting to see who makes the next move.
Do media planners really benefit from using both surveys? What's the point if there is now so much overlap? Why not merge them?
The claim that the media world would be better off with one mega-European survey is somewhat dubious as it neither offers improved quality of research nor lower costs, let alone choice.
Put it this way: would you want to live in a world where Tesco were the only shop?
What real benefit would actually be achieved from merging the two surveys?
The content and range of questions the survey asked wouldn't change. The costs would remain the same, as would the endless rounds of committee meetings to agree on the content.
Perhaps a better way of looking at this issue is to compare it to the situation in the UK market with the National Readership Survey and TGI.
No-one in their right mind would seriously recommend merging these two institutions of the UK research scene because they have different roles.
NRS is the primary means of assessing print media readership and TGI is the primary consumer research tool. Yes, they share similarities and, yes, they duplicate each other in some areas, but mostly they complement each other.
Perhaps the way forward for EMS and the Europe series is for them to follow this model. One should become the primary media-measurement tool. The other should become the lead tool for upmarket/business consumer research rather than trying to do the same job. The upmarket/business world has changed dramatically over the past ten years.
The emergence of new technology, ideas and service-based industries, along with the huge growth of low-cost travel and freedom of employment within the European Union, has changed both the business world and the type of people who operate in it. The real question that Ipsos, Interview NSS and the survey sponsors have to ask is this: have the surveys that research the business world changed enough too?

Saving the Clock Tower
Marriott Is Latest to Own Famed New York Building
Marriott International Inc. MAR 1.14 % has agreed to buy Manhattan's famous Clock Tower building, raising the prospect that the company will use the historic property to revive a struggling new hotel brand.
The lodging giant signed a contract earlier this month to pay $165 million to Africa Israel USA for the property, according to people familiar with the matter.
Marriott is likely targeting the site for its stylish Edition Hotel line, hoping to build fresh momentum for Edition after the brand stumbled coming out of the gate, some people in the hotel industry say.
The Bethesda, Md., company announced Edition in 2007 with hotelier Ian Schrager as a partner. It predicted then it would open 100 Edition hotels over 10 years. So far, there is one in Istanbul and one in Honolulu.
After a dispute with Marriott, the owners of the Waikiki Edition took back the property and rebranded it. A New York state court ordered the owners to return the property to Marriott's control. The owners then declared bankruptcy, which halted the New York judge's order.
If Marriott does convert the Clock Tower to an Edition Hotel, it would continue the company's trend for spending significant sums of cash on new hotels to support the fledgling Edition brand. Marriott has already said it will spend about $400 million to open Editions in Miami Beach and London.
Marriott also joins a long list of big names in the real-estate industry that either owned or agreed to buy the Clock Tower with dreams of converting the 1909 office building into a hotel or luxury residence. The roster includes SL Green Realty Corp. SLG 0.21 % , Mr. Schrager, property developer Aby Rosen, and fashion designer T ommy Hilfiger.
But for a variety of reasons, none of them stayed around long enough to make it work.
People familiar with the property say there are several challenges to converting it into hotel, from the small lobby to limited room for a restaurant and other amenities.
The clock tower was completed 102 years ago for insurer MetLife Inc. and was modeled after the Campanile di San Marco in Venice. At 700 feet high, it was the world's tallest building until 1913, when it was surpassed by the Woolworth building in lower Manhattan.
During the recent boom years, the tower's storied pedigree and enviable location near Madison Square Park attracted several prominent suitors who had visions of turning the Gothic-style building into an exclusive place to live or stay on visits.
SL Green bought the building from MetLife in 2005 for $150 million, and the next year sold a controlling stake to Messrs. Schrager and Rosen.
In 2007, Africa Israel USA, part of diamond-industry billionaire Lev Leviev's empire, acquired it for $200 million.
Africa Israel spent tens of millions of additional dollars on financing fees and preparing the building for conversion to a luxury condos that were going to be designed by Versace.
Earlier this year, Mr. Hilfiger and a partner signed a contract to buy the building for $170 million. The partners planned to transform it into the designer's first hotel, with luxury condos, too.
But Mr. Hilfiger walked away from the project last month. An executive at his private office said "there simply are other projects that may make more sense for us."

Amy Winehouse's hair guiltAmy Winehouse is set to donate £50,000 to a Romanian orphanage after discovering her hair extensions could have come from there.
The 'Rehab' singer - who wears a weave to boost her trademark beehive hairstyle - was shocked to discover orphans often have all their hair cut off toprovide extensions for western women.
Although Amy has ensured the pieces she uses come from ethical sources, she is determined to help.
A source said: "Amy met a lovely lady from the group Beauty Hurts and they started chatting about the real hair racket.
"She had no idea orphans were exploited. She knows where her weave comes from and to be honest, it's the US where most of the unethically culled hair ends up but she still wanted to help."
Amy was keen to keep her generous donation secret but realises it's important to highlight the issue.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed Amy has signed up to headline the 2007 mtvU Woodie Awards.
The 24-year-old star - who has not performed in the US since she pulled out of several high profile events and her American tour this summer due to "health issues" - has agreed to top the bill at New York's Roseland Ballroom on November 8.

How The Most Hated Stocks Became The Most Loved In A Few Short Days
Last week we pointed out the seemingly bizarro strategy that by now must have become mainstream mantra that buy-and-hold is dead but buy-the-dips-in-the-most-hated-stocks is a winning strategy. Since we pointed this out, our index of the 30 most shorted stocks has surged by 5% compared to a measly 2% (Fed-assisted) gain in the S&P itself. It appears the break with reality started on Tuesday morning (pre-empting the Fed high beta ramp?) and today's sell-off is seeing the index of the shortest-of-the-shorts give some gains back from an open over 6% to around 5% currently. For most managers, their year is done - a 300bps outperformance - for others, we suggest perhaps reducing size a little. It appears the man behind the curtain may just have removed some of the juice for more bizarro strategies (and maybe take those hard-earned gains and buy gold) as even with ZIRP extended, QE's nominal surge will likely remain absent until we see some market (otherwise known to Bernanke as the economy) disruption (and we suspect the names to suffer will not be the Utilities - that have outperformed handily post FOMC - and remember high beta up and higher beta down).

OT, but a must-read: Ulsterman's latest "Wall Street Insider" interview: http://theulstermanreport.com/2012/01/24/wall-street-insider-california/
Wow, just WOW!
off topic and i couldnt care less except that the popcorn factor just got good
"Judge Malihi talked to the attorneys in chambers before the hearing this morning and told them that he was going to enter a DEFAULT JUDGMENT against Obama and recommend that Obama's name not be on the Georgia ballot"
The Georgia SecState has already indicated that he will follow the judge's recommendation.
Obama will not get any popular vote or electors from the state of Georgia. (??? ruh roh, really?)
Think any MSM agency will mention this little development? Naw, just not newsworthy enough for them.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA to eternity.......................

Well ain't that a bitch?
Judge Has Ruled Secretary Of State Agress Obama Off Of Ballot In Georgia
I just got off the phone with Dean Haskins who was in the courtroom this morning assisting with the Art 2Pac live stream. Judge Malihi talked to the attorneys in chambers before the hearing this morning and told them that he was going to enter a DEFAULT JUDGMENT against Obama and recommend that Obama's name not be on the Georgia ballot! All of the attorneys expressed a desire to put an abbreviated streamlined case on the record and the judge agreed.
The Georgia SOS has already indicated that he will follow the judge's recommendation. That means that Obama will not get any popular vote or electors from the great state of Georgia!
I doubt Obama was counting on much Georgia support to begin with. Now if you're talking Ohio or Florida, now there he's got a problem...
Anything is possible...but don't be shocked if nothing changes. GOPs best chance is Ron Paul and they treat him like shit on their shoe.
Ya I know that. All this doesn't matter if Romney or Newt is elected.
I personally doubt the parties are going to allow a puny state government to interfere with the election process. They didn't do it in Florida awhile back, either.
Prediction: this all gets totally "fixed-over" and Obama's name ends up on the ballot in GA.
prez0 has sent a note to judgeMalihi that he is terrified of dentists all his life~~ever since he was a little boy in kenya
is it just me or do others feel this could be bearish for elections in 2012?
we'll all prob stll be at summer camp in november, huh?
Does anybody really think "they" are going to let the market close Red today?
Is it even legal for the market to close in the red any more?
I'm watching the /ES tapping the bottom of the channel on the uptrend (@1311.50)
It would be nice to see a close below 1308...and a break below 1300 tomorrow...but I'm not holding my breath. And I'm sure as hell not going to take a short position overnight. Just sitting on my hands today.
This month, so far, has been utterly ridiculous.

JCP up 20% on "visionary" CEO conference call... welcome to bizarro market!
Yeah, who would have thought basically admitting your products are overpriced by at least 40% and you will be sacrificing at least 40% profit across all categories would be bullish for the stock. WTF market completely.
People never believe me when I tell them it doesn't cost $50 to make a shirt in Bangladesh. The average $50 retail button down shirt costs around $5 to buy from overseas vendors. It actually costs more for licensing fees to put a label on the shirt than what it costs to sew.
The question is how will Macy's and the other retailers respond. Remember when input costs forced up the price of clothing? Well it did but it just made a $4.50 shirt cost $5 to buy wholesale. JCP responded by hiking the price from $50 to $60 to make up for that $.50 in lost margin. How are they going to reconcile selling the $60 shirt for $30? How can they possible make Wall Street happy on a lousy $25 in profit per item instead of the $55 they used to make. Talk about margin compression.
The moral of the story is: nearly every consumer product is overpriced by at least three times. $500 for an iPhone is bullshit, $50 for a $5 shirt is bullshit, $8lb hamburger is bullshit.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Doesn't matter as long as the bullshit keeps sending bullshit stocks to bullshit levels.
To me this makes a certain amount of sense, and I'm glad to have a chance to read it.
Investment is now more about manipulating public perception than anything built in reality. Few things approach the lunacy of the Dot.com bubble, but the sovereign debt bubble will dwarf anything before it. This snare is so much more effective. Nothing servives without government intervention. That could mean that nothing survives, period.
BAC is about 40% higher from the $492 low in late december. This is the screaming example.

The page in question is http://yoursite/admin/timezone.php, and it's still in there (the forum post is ~5 years old), and my point is twofold:
1) how many other pages are there in Moodle, which are hidden, which do very useful things, and:
2) can they be made available to admins in a separate section of the admin menu?
Another example is the userpics page, which is useful and not too many peope are aware of.

Lehmann, Taibbi, others moonlighting in business journalism: Get it right
I'm glad that true/slant is structured the way it is: a loose collection of bloggers writing about the topics that they want to, without editorial oversight or judgment. Because fellow true/slant contributor Matt Taibbi is wrong about enough things that's it's getting to be hard for me to take him seriously even about the things he's right about. I'm not going into the litany right now, though Tim Fernholz's TAPPED post about his latest piece is more important than he's been given credit for. Taibbi admits he confused two Jamie Rubins in his Rolling Stone article on Obama economic team, but in his correction, he says, "there is indeed a factual error in the piece — a minor biographical detail that identifies Bob Rubin's son Jamie as a former Clinton diplomat."
Yes, but. The mistake is one that someone familiar with the territory in DC wouldn't have made. And being familiar with the territory, despite cries from the fringes that mainstream journalists are all bought-and-paid-for shills, is actually a good thing. It's important, when doing first-person primary reporting, to know the players. Every journalist makes factual errors, including me. But if you're writing about Jamie Rubin in a feature article for a national publication, my expectation is that you know his bio, you know his connections and source of power, and, most of all, you know if there's another Jamie Rubin floating around somewhere. You also know that a "diplomat" moving into an economic advisory role doesn't happen often or without some cause. Yes, Washington is a big connected place where people of a certain stature move into and out of public and private sector jobs of all kinds, based on who is in power and whether their patrons are on the ins or the outs. But people don't cross areas of expertise as vast as diplomacy to macroeconomics quite that easily or commonly. Not knowing this just makes me realize that Taibbi is in over his head, and his chosen weapon to fight his way out is snark and hyperbole. Again, I'm not claiming to be making the complete case against Taibbi, just to tell you where I stand.
The problem with this approach was beautifully illustrated by The Awl's Chris Lehmann. A political reporter getting into finance, starting with an attack on The Big Money's Heidi Moore. Now, unlike at true/slant, Heidi and I do share an editor at The Big Money and we have an editorial process, so the attack was definitely at least partially on a place that pays me to write for them. So there's your disclosure– I admit, I wasn't happy to read Lehmann tee off on my publication or colleagues. But I was happy to see our editor, Jim Ledbetter, strongly defend Moore against Lehmann's rant. That's because Lehmann got a basic fact in his story very wrong.
In essence, he used the wrong number. A number that anyone who knew their subject matter well would've never confused with the correct number, just as anyone who knows Washington well wouldn't have confused the two Jamie Rubins. Then Lehmann corrected himself not by saying, "I used the wrong number" but instead by saying, "Gee, I was so tripped up by Moore's writing that I conflated two numbers that have nothing to do with each other and now I'm going to make it sound like it wasn't totally my fault even as I apologize." That's a pretty weak way to issue a correction.
What's also galling is when Lehmann says people with Moore's decade of financial writing experience might be part of the problem, since she and they are, "instigator[s]… of widespread public miseducation in financial matters." He says established financial journalists like Moore are threatened by upstarts like Taibbi. (He then uses a Wall Street Journal story as the source material by which he tried to prove Moore wrong.)
Can I say, when I started in research at my first business journalism job, how daunting it was to be handed the monster tome of Barron's Finance and Investment Handbook and be told to get familiar with it. Or to untangle even superficially simple-looking financial data, only to realize the maze underneath all the crazy numbers? Or that similar terms and acronyms can mean very different things? I haven't been at this as long as Heidi, but finance is absurdly complicated and you need years of experience, regular talks with analysts and experts, regular study of the news and ideally a newsroom full of similarly focused people to work with, to even BEGIN to write knowledgeably on finance, let alone to make it clear to the average non-technical reader.
There's only a handful of institutions that can provide this sort of apprenticeship in the financial media world right now, one of which is the Wall Street Journal. Heidi worked there, and I was lucky enough to work with several smart Journal reporters who imported that climate, for a short time, to my magazine. Even so, I realize that any financially complicated article that I undertake is going to take me three times as long to write as a profile about a tech startup, because there's very little in the way of opinion that a writer can use to lead a reader through a financial article. Financial articles require analysis, based on facts, that lead a writer to a limited set of possible conclusions. And finally, that's what's missing from Taibbi's screeds and Lehmann's piece on Taibbi and Moore. In disregard, disinterest, misunderstanding or ignorance of the facts, they tee off on the personalities, the nepotism, the cronyism–anything but the numbers and analysis that actually tells the story.
Really, my training was just enough to realize how little I know about financial reporting and to insure I be triply careful when I undertake stories in that area myself. That's why I'm disappointed that Felix Salmon is defending Taibbi, too, and in a pernicious way. He tries to hang Tim Fernholz on technicalities (and even a seemingly intentional misreading, over whether Fernholz thinks the CFPA exists), and then he goes on to let Taibbi off the hook for being "polemical." Salmon closes by saying Taibbi is, "doing a much better job of making the policy debate relevant to Rolling Stone's readership than anything Tim Fernholz has ever done."
Well. If Rolling Stone readers are taking their worldview cues from Matt Taibbi, I'd rather they keep reading about Bob Dylan, John Mayer and Axl Rose. It's not sufficient for Matt Taibbi to toss out a handful of facts, draw some suppositions in his head, and publish a story that reads like he stole it from one of those end-of-the-world-is-nigh types in Times Square, and Salmon is a good enough financial writer to know that.
I'm going to echo Fernholz, which will piss off Salmon if he reads this, and say, again, that the intersection between Wall Street and Washington that Taibbi is attempting to document is tricky, twisted, somewhat compromised and in need of sunlight. But it's ultimately a disservice to publish screeds about these topics the way Taibbi does. Don't allege conspiracies, make hay out of the lineage or work histories of the players or write authoritatively about their thoughts or motives when you can't in the end deliver the goods. That is, in the end, what Fernholz (and I, and other serious journalists) want from Taibbi.And the reason Salmon can look at the blogosphere back and forth and conclude that Fernholz is full of it is because Taibibi's writing style puts his detractors on the defensive, unfairly. He uses the most inflamatory language he can, and then dares his critics to disprove what he's said. Except his arguments are constructed to be long on innuendo and what I'll call "CCW" or "conventional conspiracy-nut wisdom" and short on hard evidence to prove himself. So critics are put into the position of having to prove situations are normal in order to disprove conspiracy theories. That's why Lehmann thought he hit the jackpot with a number that proved Moore was a shill for Goldman, until our editor Ledbetter pointed out he had used the wrong number. Sorry, but that's not how it's supposed to work. You don't put a number in your story unless you know what it means. It's some sort of deep seated human nature to want to believe in conspiracy theories. Just ask Fox Mulder. BUT, it's reckless, as a journalist, to throw those theories out and hope something sticks. Let's put it this way, finally:
If Matt Taibbi is as right as his fans think he his about health care, Goldman Sachs and Obama's financial team, the impact of his assertions would not be a rise in chatter on the Internet, it would be Watergate-style investigations, arrests, and resignations. If Woodward and Bernstein could get Nixon to resign without calling him a "vampire squid jabbing his blood funnel into anything that smells like power," than Taibbi should be able to effect the change he so clearly demands of our political and financial systems by doing solid reporting rather than writing polemical screeds.

text: Stewart's Giant ban reduced after appeal 15 Feb 2013 The Belfast Giants have won an appeal against the severity of the ban handed down to forward Greg Stewart, resulting in his nine-game ban being reduced to six. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Stewart was disciplined by an Elite League committee over two incidents during the Giants away game against Cardiff Devils on Sunday 3 February.He was handed a three-game ban for kneeing and another three-game ban for a check to the head. The further three-game ban was as a result of the two serious match penalties in the same match.But following a three-man appeals committee meeting on Thursday, it has been decided that the extra three-game ban should be quashed and the ban downgraded to six matches.Stewart has already served part of the ban, missing the action against Nottingham Panthers last Wednesday, and will therefore be unavailable for the Giants' next five games.Meanwhile, Friday night's game at the Odyssey Arena sees the Belfast Giants take on Coventry Blaze during their Pink in the Rink charity night.Are you coming to Friday's game? Then make sure to support 'Pink in the Rink' and wear pink in support of Breast Cancer Care as the Giants take on the Coventry Blaze!Belfast GiantsThe Giants will be donning specially commissioned pink jerseys which will be raffled off after the game to raise funds for Breast Cancer Care."We are delighted that the Belfast Giants are supporting Breast Cancer Care's Big Pink Bucket Collection by wearing pink for their game against Coventry Blaze," Hannah Weddell, from the charity, said."Every 10 minutes, someone in the UK hears the devastating news that they have breast cancer."Every penny raised through the Big Pink Bucket Collection will enable Breast Cancer Care to continue providing free expert and professional support to anyone affected by this life-threatening disease."She added: "We would like to say a huge thank you to the Belfast Giants and their fans for all their support with this campaign!"The @stenalineuk @belfastgiants locker room is all set, Pink & ready to go for tonight's big game! #PinkintheRink twitter.com/BelfastGiants/...— Belfast Giants (@BelfastGiants) February 15, 2013 © UTV Share Share Share

Spectrometer, Far-infrared, Balloon Borne
This is the Woody-Richards experiment, a balloon-borne Fourier transform far infrared spectrometer. It was one of the first projects designed to measure the microwave background discovered by Penzias and Wilson. To achieve maximum sensitivity the assembly was immersed in a cryostat cooled with superfluid helium at less than one degree absolute. The spectrometer was flown three times in the mid-1970s. The results from these experiments, announced in 1979, provided widely accepted data on the thermal characteristics of the cosmic background radiation, improved only by the announcement of data from instruments flown on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite. This experiment combined novel technologies that were later used on FIRAS/COBE. It was donated to NASM in 1997 by Professor Paul Richards of the Department of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. It is now on display in the Explore the Universe gallery.

Become a Trucker in California
Take a drive down the PCH and listen to waves crashing along the Pacific Ocean coastline, muffled by the hustle and bustle of nonstop traffic. East to west, north to south California's unique terrain and scenic landmarks are sure to keep any truck driver entertained.
Giant redwood trees surround the northwest side of California and provide a majestic scenic view. Snow-capped mountain peaks cause the land to quickly rise. Fertile valleys and sandy beaches can be found throughout the entire state. Dare to take a drive through Death Valley, The Mojave Desert or The Colorado Desert? Reaching temperatures as high as 130 degrees, make sure you keep water in the cab.
If your route takes you to San Francisco be sure to take in the sight of the Golden Gate Bridge, the entry point to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. If you're heading south to Palm Springs, don't miss the 30-foot-tall T-rex and Apatosaurus towering over the I-10 heading, advertising the World's biggest dinosaur museum.
Looking for a quick place to eat? Grab a bite in Burbank, just one exit away off the Ventura Freeway, at the oldest Bob's Big Boy restaurant. Try to catch the Historical Point of Interest on one of it's busier nights like Friday for the classic car show or Saturday and Sunday for the "car hop" service. Catch the Salvation Mountain on the riverbank of Beal Road, or drive past the World's Largest Thermometer in Baker, your trucking dreams truly have no limitations.

Some things I'll keep a close eye on during the Cowboys-Raiders preseason game:
*This group of linebackers is deep -- really deep.
The Cowboys are going to face a difficult decision. Do you release Jason Williams, the third-round selection of 2009, for, say, Leon Williams? There is talent in Jason Williams, and you can see that. But does he have the mental makeup to be a consistent player in this defense where you are not only asked to play run but also be reliable in pass coverage?
Mental mistakes will get you beat and watching the way that this defensive staff operates, the Cowboys will not put you on the field if you are making mistakes. There were times in San Antonio when Jason Williams would lose his man in coverage. You would see him reaching or searching to find Jason Witten or John Phillips behind him.
On the Bengals' touchdown Sunday, it appeared that Williams lost his man in the back of the end zone. He was moving along the goal line and not at the proper depth to defend the ball. There was help to his left as he drifted into the flat while the receiver worked the back of the end line.
Jason Williams will get another opportunity to prove that he deserves to be on this team. Watch and see which Williams plays better against Oakland: Jason or Leon.
*Have been floating the idea of two tight ends and two fullbacks on the final roster. Interested in seeing more of fullback Chris Gronkowski in the role of that potential H-Back, move guy player.
Gronkowski is 240 pounds, runs a 4.70 and has wonderful hands. With the difficulty of trying to find a tight end off the street or maybe another club releasing one, this appears like the perfect opportunity to see if he can really do the role.
John Phillips was a player that could line up all over the place and give you good reps on special teams. Gronkowski appears to have the similar skill set.
Early in camp, you heard that he needed to be more forceful at the point of attack, which was true when you watched 9-on-7 from San Antonio. In the Cincinnati game, he did a much better job of hitting square and making something happen as did Deon Anderson.
Two fullbacks and two tight ends a possibility? We will see.
*Robert Brewster is now your second left tackle since the injury to Alex Barron in the Cincinnati game. This is a tough spot for Brewster because he really is still just a rookie.
The main problem that Brewster has to deal with right now is that he doesn't play with quick feet. When you have to get out of your stance and get to the edge, your feet really need to work. Brewster's feet at times will stop on contact and then he will struggle to keep his position on his man giving up the edge.
Another area that Brewster struggles in is when he has to deal with power. Brewster doesn't play like the strongest guy and at times he will give up too much ground on the rush, which happened to him in San Antonio and the Cincinnati game.
Brewster will most likely make this team, because you really don't want to give up on a young offensive linemen. But you would like to see him make some improvement from his first game to the next.
*With the injury to Dez Bryant, it appears that for the time being, that the Cowboys are going to have to carry six receivers on their 53-man roster. The sixth receiver in my book talent-wise is Sam Hurd, but what he does on special teams makes him one of your 45 each week that dresses for the game.
In the Cincinnati game, it was interesting to me that Jesse Holley took more of an active role on special teams. Holley covered kicks and took Hurd's important job as the personal protector on the punt team.
Could special teams coach Joe DeCamillis be trying to find a suitable replacement for Hurd? And does the front office feel that Holley has more of an upside as a receiver than Hurd? This is an area that is worth watching as these games in the preseason unfold.

A fantastic training buddy,
Unlike most of you I have to train alone...all my information comes from the Internet videos or I develop it my self. When I was young I swam in the USAF. This suit adds about 3-4 strokes to my 25 yd. stroke count. I wear it throughout my whole workout routine, about 2-3 miles. It has truly helped me makeup 50 years of no swimming.
Fit: Feels true to size
Drag suit does what it advertises
I usually can't do a whole workout with the suit since it makes me work so hard. It really slows my freestyle, fly and back down and makes my struggle to achieve slower times. If doesn't slow my breast down as much, maybe because it's a less streamlined stoke. I know it's improving my overall speed and endurance. I recommend the suit!
Portland, OR
Really slows you down. Great work out
It has great quality and is a great drag suit.
Con C.
Charlevoix, MI
Fit: Feels too big
Awesome training product
Makes for a very diffucult workout....but if training was easy everyone would do it!!
What a drag...
Gets the job done. It slows me down significantly. I was worried about sizing, but this fits me really well and I'm a 34 waist. One improvement could be the drawstring tie at the front. It's not super user-friendly, especially when it's wet.
Warsaw, IN
I keep it in my gear bag. I usually swim in the "gold" lane at our Masters workout, and my lane buddy and I push each other pretty hard. But when he's out of town, this drag suit slows me down to the same speed as the "silver" lane swimmers and I can still get a competitive workout.Among other things, it really robs your ability to glide. My stroke count from the backstroke flags is different when I'm wearing the drag suit, and on flipturns I don't glide as far.

What Is Community-Based Art Education?
Ulbricht, J., Art Education
With regard to definitions of community-based art education, several concepts come to mind. One might initially envision organized community art programs to improve art skills, or alternatively, outreach programs to empower special groups of people. With more thought, we might consider programs that promote contextual learning about local art and culture (Kincheloe, et al., 2000; Neperud, 1995).
Community service projects (Taylor, 2002) are another form of community-based art education. Some may see public art itself as a form of community-based education. This range of possibilities can be confusing for those who contemplate the possibilities and implications of new and existing community-based art education programs.
Today educators may feel the need to contemplate community-based education when (1) well intentioned citizens try to figure out what they can do to support or reform school art programs; (2) arts administrators seek to advance their enrollment figures; (3) citizens try to eliminate art education from school curriculums; (4) teachers try to figure out how to get students involved in "real world" situations; and/or (5) educators and artists confront important social issues through their artistic endeavors.
At the risk of drifting away from some of the traditional focuses of art education, art educators need to take a careful look at the rationales, goals, and definitions of community-based art education before dismissing it, or conversely, implementing new programs of their own. Although several art educators (Bolin, 1999; Clark & Zimmerman, 2000; Congdon, Blandy & Bolin, 2001) have illustrated their concepts and implemented new courses and programs (Fahey & Frickman, 2000; Garber, 2004), it is the purpose of this article to take a second look at various forms of community-based art education and propose ideas for future curriculum initiatives.
Informal Teaching
If community-based art education is defined broadly as something that takes place outside of K-12 schools, it is not a new form of art education. Informal teaching has been and is the dominant method by which individuals learn about art. If we think of art education in communities, each culture and historical period has had its own methods of teaching individuals about art. Renaissance artists frequently taught apprentices about their ways of working, and traditionally folk art is passed down from generation to generation in non-school settings. In the preindustrial period prior to the latter part of the 19th century, arts and crafts skills were taught in many middle and working class homes. Wealthier parents often provided an education in connoisseurship through foreign travel and museum visits. We could consider many of these teachers as "invisible" (Ulbricht, 1999) because they have not had formal art education classes.
Although we often think of communitybased art education as "teacher" initiated, we are increasingly aware of the informal "education" that is provided by visual culture. With the expansion of technology and visual media, increasing numbers of citizens are learning about a range of issues through imagery and we could consider this another form of community-based art education.
Organized Community Teaching
In the past hundred years, many teachers have made community-based art education more formal in a number of organized programs. In rural areas of the U.S., craft schools (i.e. Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, Penland School of Crafts, and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts) emphasize education in traditional art materials and skills. In urban areas, museum schools (i.e. Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cleveland Museum of Art, and School of the Art Institute of Chicago) provide opportunities for citizens to learn about art.
Although many historical programs were the result of individuals who had traditional and modernist art perspectives, there are other community-based programs that tried to distance themselves from the canon and focus on the needs of individuals. …
