Howdy all, I'm gonna race super d at nationals this year and was wondering how I should set up the suspension on me bike. Mountain Bike magazine did a profile on Adam Craig's super d bike and it said he kept his suspension really stiff with fast rebound. I'll be using a Specialized enduro pro with a talas fork and a float rl shock with the specialized "itch switch".
Peace up a town.

Sequential Bayesian inference for time series
Hello hello,
I have just arXived a review article, written for ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, called Sequential Bayesian inference for implicit hidden Markov models and current limitations. The topic is sequential Bayesian estimation: you want to perform inference (say, parameter inference, or prediction of future observations), taking into account parameter and model uncertainties, using hidden Markov models. I hope that the article can be useful for some people: I have tried to stay at a general level, but there are more than 90 references if you're interested in learning more (sorry in advance for not having cited your article on the topic!). Below I'll comment on a few points.
[Meta-]Blogging as young researchers
Hello all,
This is an article intended for the ISBA bulletin, jointly written by us all at Statisfaction, Rasmus Bååth from Publishable Stuff, Boris Hejblum from Research side effects, Thiago G. Martins from tgmstat@wordpress, Ewan Cameron from Another Astrostatistics Blog and Gregory Gandenberger from gandenberger.org.
Inspired by established blogs, such as the popular Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science or Xi'an's Og, each of us began blogging as a way to diarize our learning adventures, to share bits of R code or LaTeX tips, and to advertise our own papers and projects. Along the way we've come to a new appreciation of the world of academic blogging: a never-ending international seminar, attended by renowned scientists and anonymous users alike. Here we share our experiences by weighing the pros and cons of blogging from the point of view of young researchers.
Non-negative unbiased estimators
Hey hey,
With Alexandre Thiéry we've been working on non-negative unbiased estimators for a while now. Since I've been talking about it at conferences and since we've just arXived the second version of the article, it's time for a blog post. This post is kind of a follow-up of a previous post from July, where I was commenting on Playing Russian Roulette with Intractable Likelihoods by Mark Girolami, Anne-Marie Lyne, Heiko Strathmann, Daniel Simpson, Yves Atchade.
Parallel resampling in the particle filter
Hey there,
It's been a while I haven't written about parallelization and GPUs. With colleagues Lawrence Murray and Anthony Lee we have just arXived a new version of Parallel resampling in the particle filter. The setting is that, on modern computing architectures such as GPUs, thousands of operations can be performed in parallel (i.e. simultaneously) and therefore the rest of the calculations that cannot be parallelized quickly becomes the bottleneck. In the case of the particle filter (or any sequential Monte Carlo method such as SMC samplers), that bottleneck is the resampling step. The article investigates this issue and numerically compares different resampling schemes.
Moustache target distribution and Wes Anderson
Today I am going to introduce the moustache target distribution (moustarget distribution for brievety). Load some packages first.
library(wesanderson) # on CRAN library(RShapeTarget) # available on https://github.com/pierrejacob/RShapeTarget/ library(PAWL) # on CRAN
Let's invoke the moustarget distribution.
shape <- create_target_from_shape( file_name=system.file(package = "RShapeTarget", "extdata/moustache.svg"), lambda=5) rinit <- function(size) matrix(rnorm(2*size), ncol = 2) moustarget <- target(name = "moustache", dimension = 2, rinit = rinit, logdensity = shape$logd, parameters = shape$algo_parameters)
This defines a target distribution represented by a SVG file using RShapeTarget. The target probability density function is defined on and is proportional to on the segments described in the SVG files, and decreases exponentially fast to away from the segments. The density function of the moustarget is plotted below, a picture being worth a thousand words.
Beautiful Science: Picturing Data, Inspiring Insight
There's a nice exhibition open until May 26th at the British Library in London, entitled Beautiful Science: Picturing Data, Inspiring Insight. Various examples of data visualizations are shown, either historical or very modern, or even made especially for the exhibition. Definitely worth a detour if you happen to be in the area, you can see everything in 15 minutes.
In particular there are nice visualisations of historical climate data, gathered from the logbooks of the English East India company, whose ships were crossing every possible sea in the beginning of the 19th century. The logbooks contain locations and daily weather reports, handwritten by the captains themselves. Turns out the logbooks are kept at the British Library itself and some of them are on display at the exhibition. More info on that project here: oldweather.org.
Rasmus Bååth's Bayesian first aid
Besides having coded a pretty cool MCMC app in Javascript, this guy Rasmus Bååth has started the Bayesian first aid project. The idea is that if there's an R function called blabla.test performing test "blabla", there should be a function bayes.blabla.test performing a similar test in a Bayesian framework, and showing the output in a similar way so that the user can easily compare both approaches.This post explains it all. Jags and BEST seem to be the two main workhorses under the hood.
Kudos to Rasmus for this very practical approach, potentially very impactful. Maybe someday people will have to specify if they want a frequentist approach and not the other way around! (I had a dream, etc).
MCM'Ski lessons
A few days after the MCMSki conference, I start to see the main lessons gathered there.
- I should really read the full program before attending the next MCMSki. The three parallel sessions looked consistently interesting, and I really regret having missed some talks (in particular Dawn Woodard's and Natesh Pillai's) and some posters as well (admittedly, due to exhaustion on my part).
- Compared to the previous instance three years ago (in Utah), the main themes have significantly changed. Scalability, approximate methods, non-asymptotic results, 1/n methods … these keywords are now on everyone's lips. Can't wait to see if MCQMC'14 will feel that different from MCQMC'12.
- The community is rightfully concerned about scaling Monte Carlo methods to big data, with some people pointing out that models should also be rethought in this new context.
- The place of software developers in the conference, or simply references to software packages in the talks, is much greater than it used to be. It's a very good sign towards reproducible research in our field. There's still a lot of work to do, in particular in terms of making parallel computing easier to access (time to advertise LibBi a little bit). On a related note, many people now point out whether their proposed algorithms are parallel-friendly or not.
- Going from the Rockies to the Alps, the food drastically changed from cheeseburgers to just melted cheese. Bread could be found but ground beef and Budweiser were reported missing.
- It's fun to have an international conference in your home country, but switching from French to English all the time was confusing.
Back in flooded Oxford now!
Dennis Lindley (1923-2013)
I've just heard this sad piece of news. Definitely one of the greatest statisticians of the last 50 years. Wished I'd had met him in person.
Dennis Lindley most sadly passed away yesterday at the hospital near his home in Somerset. He was one of the founding fathers of our field (of Bayesian statistics), who contributed to formalise Bayesian statistics in a coherent theory. And to make it one with rational decision-making, a perspective missing in Jeffreys' vision. (His papers figured prominently in the tutorials we gave yesterday for the opening of O'Bayes 250.) At the age of 90, his interest in the topic had not waned away: as his interview with Tony O'Hagan last Spring showed, his passionate arguing for the rationale of the Bayesian approach was still there and alive! The review he wrote of The Black Swan a few years ago also demonstrated he had preserved his ability to see through bogus arguments. (See his scathing "One hardly advances the respect with which statisticians are held in society by making…

Singapore –> Oxford
A quick post to say that I'm moving from Singapore to Oxford, UK. I will dearly miss my Singaporean colleagues, as well as my morning Laksa and Nasi lemak. I look forward to the skying season though.
I will work for the next two years as a post-doc with Professors Arnaud Doucet and Yee Whye Teh, on sequential Monte Carlo methods for high-dimensional problems.
Former office mate Alex Thiery is still in Singapore and will start blogging here soon, so we'll still have two continents covered. Still looking for contributors in the other ones!

PRO BASKETBALL; In Lakers' Dysfunctional Family, Bryant and O'Neal Feud
By MIKE WISE
Published: October 28, 2003
By the standards of sports docudramas, the plot line barely works:
Over the summer, two aging All-Stars, Karl Malone and Gary Payton, sign to play with pro basketball's two reigning supernovas, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, and it seems the N.B.A. can all but mail the championship trophy to the 90210 ZIP code.
The man responsible for molding this team of stars is Phil Jackson, the Zen-spouting coach who may gun his Harley-Davidson toward the horizon after he overtakes a Boston curmudgeon for most career N.B.A. titles.
But then Bryant, the star guard on the N.B.A's most glamorous team, was accused of rape, he and O'Neal renewed their sandbox feud less than a week before the season opener against Dallas and the future of a franchise and its principal characters was thrust into limbo.
After a preseason game late last week, O'Neal complained that Bryant was forcing his shots and suggested that he concentrate on passing the ball until he works himself into shape. Bryant's response was equally blunt. ''I know how to play my guard spot,'' he told reporters after a practice. ''He can worry about the low post.''
Neither player is backing down.
''If you don't like it, then you can opt out for next year,'' O'Neal said, referring to Bryant's option of testing the free-agent market next summer. ''If it's going to be my team, I'll voice my opinion. This is the Diesel's ship.''
Last night, Bryant told Jim Gray, an ESPN reporter: ''There's more to life than whose team it is. But this is his team, so it's time for him to act like it. That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court. It also means no more blaming others for our team's failure or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning. Also, 'my team' doesn't mean only when we win. It means carrying the burden of defeat just as gracefully as you carry a championship trophy.''
An O'Neal family member said last night that O'Neal was meeting with Jackson.
Before Bryant was arrested and charged with sexual assault last July, NBC was working with Jeanie Buss, the daughter of the Lakers' owner, Jerry Buss, to develop a series about a female sports executive who is the daughter of a team owner. The league has given the network approval to use its logo and nickname, for the semblance of reality. Not that the Los Angeles Lakers need to be fictionalized.
A ruling last week that Bryant must stand trial on a charge of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old hotel employee in Eagle, Colo., all but guaranteed that the Lakers would play this season against a surreal backdrop.
''If someone pitched me that, I'd say, 'Sold,' '' Kevin Riley, the president of development and programming at NBC, said. ''But I'd say you have to pull back to make it more believable.''
Jackson, who has won nine N.B.A. championships, the same number as the Celtics' patriarch, Red Auerbach, said: ''We've got three challenges, To play as a team is No. 1.
''When you have four Hall of Famers, the second big challenge is to get everybody to the end of the season healthy. We have guys that are up there in years.
''The third challenge is obviously how the Kobe incident plays itself out during the course of the year, because it's an unknown. We just have to be strong enough to make the adjustments as we go by.''
The first challenge appears daunting. The on-again, off-again relationship between O'Neal and Bryant is on course for combustion.
Of course, Bryant faces problems far more significant than criticism from O'Neal. Bryant, 25, could face a sentence of life in prison if convicted of sexual assault. He has admitted having sex with his accuser, but he insisted that it was consensual.
Many of his teammates have been supportive, especially Malone, 40, and Payton, 35, both of whom signed for a pittance of their value to give themselves a better chance to end their championship-less careers with rings. Yet Bryant's legal obligations in Colorado have created uncertainty nearly every day for the Lakers.
Beyond the usual crush of reporters, the Lakers have also had to accommodate tabloid television reporters. The atmosphere has led to some tense altercations between team officials and the news media.
A network television producer asked Bryant about his legal case at a practice last week in El Segundo, Calif. Bryant ducked the question, and after the gathering broke up, John Black, the Lakers' director of public relations, informed the producer that she would not be allowed to cover practices or games any longer.
Black would not comment on the decision, but he has made it clear that reporters interested in covering only Bryant's legal issues should seek credentials elsewhere.
''The Lakers were an incredibly good story to begin with, a traveling team of All-Stars, the likes we haven't seen since Bingo Long,'' Dick Ebersol, the chairman of NBC Sports, said. ''But the backdrop of this whole criminal proceeding takes it to a whole other level. The question now is not whether they can, but also how are they coping with 'Entertainment Tonight' and Court TV following them around?''
The Lakers, who have won eight championships and more than 1,300 games since Buss purchased the team in 1979, have always had star power to lure curiosity seekers.

Tighter Rules for Conflicts of Interest
Kennedy, Laura K., National Defense
This year, dramatic developments have changed the landscape for conflicts of interest in government contracting. The first-ever personal conflicts of interest (PCI) regulations were implemented by the Department of Treasury, and Congress enacted new organizational conflict of interest (OCIs) laws. These changes signal a new era of tighter rules governing actual and potential conflicts between the government and the contractor.
Historically, contractor employees have been flee of the ethical safeguards imposed on federal employees, even when they both performed the same type of work. Congress looks to change that. In the Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2009, Congress directed the Office of Federal Procurement Policy to coordinate with the Office of Government Ethics to study contracting methods that raise concerns for potential PCIs and revise the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) as needed.
Even before this study began, the first ever conflict of interest rules were published. On Jan. 21, the Treasury implemented new PCI regulations for contracts under the Troubled Assets Relief Program. If these rules serve as a model for FAR rules, contractors could be subject to burdensome conflict of interest requirements.
Treasury's rules broadly define PCI as "a personal, business, or financial interest of an individual, his or her spouse, minor child, or other family member with whom the individual has a close personal relationship, that could adversely affect the individual's ability to perform under the arrangement, his or her objectivity or judgment in such performance, or his or her ability to represent the interests of the Treasury."
Contractors must verify extensive financial information about their management employees and key individuals who work on covered contracts. This information sometimes mirrors data federal employees must disclose on financial disclosure Form SF-278, which solicits information about filers' property interests and other assets, transactions of property and investments, gifts, reimbursements and travel expenses, liabilities, arrangements with employers and outside positions and pay exceeding $5,000.
Merely reporting this information to the government to determine whether an improper PCI exists is not enough. Contractors must analyze the information, identify improper conflicts and disqualify such employees from performing contract work absent mitigation measures that effectively neutralize the conflict.
Contractors must also implement procedures designed to discover, monitor and report PCIs on a continuous basis and certify annually that management and key individuals have no issues. They must retain information needed to comply with this rule for three years following contract termination. …

Created through a "student-tested, faculty-approved" review process with hundreds of students and faculty, TEACH is an engaging and accessible solution to accommodate the diverse lifestyles of today's learners at a value-based price. TEACH is centered upon an underlying and thoroughly integrated objective--to help students uncover whether they are a "good fit" for the teaching profession. In Part I, the author asks students to reflect on why they want to teach and to consider who they are, and whether "who they are" is a teacher. In Parts II, III, and IV, the text covers the traditional topics of the course. Through both the pedagogy and the exposition, the author continually asks readers to reflect on how the information provided affects their decision to pursue teaching. Along with the theme of the text, the author stresses the two most important topics in K-12 education today and their impact in the classroom: the effect of technology and the Internet on teaching and learning, and the importance of understanding the roles that diversity and culture play in the lives of teachers and their students.

'Recently, people were more worried about preserving their jobs, not preserving their history...Now a new generation is aware there was a history that came before them...Not a lot of our history has been preserved. People without a history can be erased.' — Mark Meinke, co-founder of the Rainbow Heritage Network

History was made today in American civil rights with the Supreme Court ruling that legalizes same-sex marriage across all 50 states. The ruling is a major push toward marriage equality in the U.S., but like several historically marginalized communities, one giant obstacle that the LGBTQ community continues to face is cultural preservation and protection, in addition to spreading the awareness of that historical legacy both externally and internally.

You win some and unfortunately lose some in the unpredictable nature of preserving heritage sites, but proactivity is key. One such group is the Rainbow Heritage Network, a developing coalition of over 400 preservationists and gay rights activists who advocate for the protection of LGBTQ heritage sites in the U.S. as one of their primary missions. Reportedly established only this past January, the group is working to gain more traction in their long-term efforts to protect LGBTQ sites on a local, state and federal level.

In cities around the country, the geographical hubs of gay culture — so-called "gayborhoods" — are changing. Amin Ghaziani, author of a new book, There Goes the Gayborhood?, says this subtle cultural shift holds enormous significance for the gay community in urban America and beyond. [...] Yet while positive social and legal shifts have led to this change (from the Castro to Chelsea), we haven't quite evolved past the point of needing them.

We don't even see his feet. He is embedded in the rock like something not yet fully born, suited and stern, rising from its roughly chiseled surface. His face is uncompromising, determined, his eyes fixed in the distance, not far from where Jefferson stands across the water. But kitsch here strains at the limits of resemblance: Is this the Dr. King of the "I Have a Dream" speech? Or the writer of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech?

I think we've appled but if we qualify (SEVENTH or higher, fact fans) for the UEFA anyway we obviously don't go in.
The Intertoto was indeed the competition we entered in its first year, 95-96 if memory serves me correctly. We took part under duress, and had a fine and some other whatnot due to our fielding a team of thirds and some players we borrowed, which the FA said was OK (and was a condition we made for entering to make up the quota), but UEFA said wasn't.

I shall trust your memory on that.It seems a lot longer ago than that to me though.

Very Comfortable
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Purchased two of these to replace Wenzel pads that we have used for years and have been discontinued. My wife and I used them six nights on cots during a boat camping trip on Yellowstone Lake. What a great pad! Self inflates quickly, didn't need to add any air. In fact my wife released some air to make it more comfortable for her. They appear to be well made, are easy to deflate and roll up and store easily in the included stuff sack. The large size was perfect for use on our military style cots and made a bed as comfortable as our pillow top is at home. Look forward to many years of use.
Patch kit was not included. :~( Had to purchase that from another web site.
Is the R value really 11.5? What tempature is that good for?
The r-value really is 11.4 ....shockingly high I know!
Unfortunately there are a lot of variables involved on what temperature this would work for. Your sleep system as a whole is what I'd be looking at. But this would be a sleeping pad that has the best r-value and would offer the most insulation.
Shoot me an email anytime you have questions!

Can you attach two of these pads side-by-side...
Can you attach two of these pads side-by-side (for a couple sleeping together)?
These pads don't have any way to attach together, so you'll just have to lay them next to each other and snuggle up to one another!
Actually, Therm-a-Rest makes a product called the universal couple kit, which attaches two pads together. Backcountry doesn't sell it, but it's on Amazon and other stores.

The Independent Investor: The Droning of America
Whether you call them unmanned aerial vehicles, remotely piloted aircraft or simply drones, these remote-controlled devices are expected to become a big business both here and abroad over the next decade. The question is whether this new technology will impact our lives in ways we are willing to accept.
The worldwide drone market in 2007 totaled $3.7 billion. This year revenue estimates have over doubled to $7.5 billion, with the U.S. accounting for two-thirds of those sales. By 2022, it is expected to top $11 billion. The military has accounted for much of that spending with drones accounting for an estimated 31 percent of our military aircraft fleet.
However, public opinion over the use of drones in warfare is divided in this country. Some critics look at drones as little more than murder machines given the drone's ability to indiscriminately deal death from the sky at a push of a button on whomever or whatever we choose. And the "we" is also a problem. Exactly who and under what authority are these drones attacks undertaken? The answers are mired in confusion and unresolved morality.
Supporters argue that drones have allowed the U.S. to exert targeted force almost instantly at a massively reduced cost without risking American lives. From tactics to strategy, the drone has transformed and revolutionized modern warfare. The numbers speak for themselves. Over 50 high-ranking al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders have been "neutralized" in drone attacks. Of course, no one really knows how many civilian casualties accompanied these successful "kills" in the process.
I bring up this controversy because having transformed warfare, drones are now preparing to do the same thing in the commercial space. Everything from law enforcement to border patrol, from agriculture to cinema and dozens of other applications are cropping up as drone technology becomes cheaper and more accessible.
How will these applications threaten American civil liberties, if at all? Will the government use of drones (as they are purported to have used cellphone and other electronic communications) to spy on American citizens in the name of national security? Will its use by local police forces usher in an era of police states, as some claim?
Counterbalancing these fears are the positive benefits of this new technology. Imagine the usefulness of drones in fighting wildfires, patrolling our borders, locating kidnappers, dusting crops, hurricane hunting and surveying things like oil spills, tornados, hurricanes, power lines, archaeological digs and gas spills.
The list of applicants looking to fly drones is expanding and consists mostly of universities, manufacturers and public agencies, but experts expect that list to lengthen as soon as the regulatory environment becomes clearer. The Obama administration has ordered the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to come up with the rules and regulations necessary to integrate unmanned civilian aircraft into U.S. airspace by 2015. The FAA is also tasked with establishing six dome-testing ranges and to fast-track requests for permission to use drones. That should jump-start the industry and lift sales to $13.5 billion in three years, according to a report by the fledgling industry trade group, the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International.
The real question is whether an American bureaucracy, such as the FAA, along with a morally bankrupt Congress, will be able to craft legislation that answers both the legal and ethical issues inherent in this new and promising technology while allowing America to take advantage of this opportunity. Given their track record, I am less than hopeful.

@theMarket: From Russia with Love
Stocks rallied this week as news that the world may have found a way to resolve the looming confrontation between the U.S. and Syria. If so, investors can thank Russia for the solution and a much-needed deal that might actually extend into a brokered peace.
Last week, I suggested that readers should not worry too much. I had my doubts over whether we would see any 'rocket's red glare' over Damascus. Given the overwhelming lack of support by the American public and adverse world opinion for a pre-emptive Syrian strike, I was sure that neither Congress nor the president would pull the trigger.
Now that Russia has offered to broker a deal involving the destruction of the Syrian regime's 1,000-ton stockpile of poison gas, the world gets to have its cake and eat it, too. What's not to love about that? Although the media is arguing that President Obama has handled this international incident poorly, I'm not so sure. If Obama can pull off ridding the world of yet another potential danger without firing a shot, I say kudos to him.
However, I am not pleased with reports coming out of Japan's Nikkei Shin Bun last night that President Obama is leaning toward making Larry Summers our next Federal Reserve Chairman over Janet Yellen, the vice chairwoman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank. Summers, in my opinion, is just another of a long line of politicians that have moved between the private and public sectors peddling their influence in exchange for money and position..
The head of our central bank needs to look beyond his or her next meal ticket and focus instead on doing the best possible job for all of the country, not simply Wall Street. I believe Janet Yellen would be such a person. The White House has denied that a decision has been made, but that doesn't mean it won't be Summers. Obama, as a lame-duck president, can do what he wants. I'm hoping he makes the right choice, rather than the political one.
Next week, the Fed meets and most economists and investors believe that the much-mentioned taper will begin at that time. Depending on whatever announcement is made, the stock and bond markets could see quite a bit of short-term volatility. Pay no attention to it.
All you need to know is if the economy gains pace and unemployment does not, then the Fed is going to taper and, at some point, end its efforts at quantitative easing altogether. That will be good for the stock market and bad for the bond market. If, on the other hand, the Fed does not taper it means the economy is rolling over and unemployment will remain the same. That will not be good for the stock market longer-term.
My best guess is that the Fed will announce some minor pull-back in monetary stimulus. For example, they could decrease their $85 billion in monthly purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities by $10-15 billion or so. Since this year's deficit is not nearly as high as expected, the need by the U.S. Treasury to issue bonds has been reduced. The Fed could simply pull back their Treasury bond purchases while leaving the mortgage-backed security purchase plan the same. That would not be the end of the world no matter what the pundits may say.

The Independent Investor: Five Years After the Crisis
The collapse of Lehman Brothers occurred five years ago this week. In hindsight, this investment bank's disorderly failure proved to be the critical domino that set into motion economic and financial disruptions that are still with us today. What have we learned?
For starters, we've learned that some of our financial institutions have gotten too big to fail, unless we want to endure yet another financial credit crisis. We have also learned that a credit recession, unlike a normal business recession, takes much longer to work its way through the economy. Today few, if any, western economies have regained their stride. GDP growth is still far below the rate necessary to sustain full employment. What growth there is has come with a huge price tag in added debt.
These last five years have also witnessed the transfer of power from the private sector to the public sector in the ability to control and influence markets. Various central banks, wielding policy tools that were never meant to insure that stock markets moved higher or mortgage rates lower, now determine how much you make or lose on your investments on a daily basis.
It is Central bank chairmen like Ben Bernanke, Mario Draghi in the EU, and Japan's Haruhiko Kuroda who move markets today. Even Warren Buffet is small potatoes compared to the pronouncements of our central banks. I'm not criticizing those bankers, far from it, were it not for them the financial world would be in tatters, which leads us to yet another result of the Lehman fiasco.
It is clear to me that our elected officials do not have the will or the ability to deal with this on-going financial crisis. It was, after all, our lawmakers, in league with their Wall Street campaign contributors that precipitated the credit crisis in the first place. The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, for example, which allowed banks to re-enter the speculative side of finance, is just one of the many legislative mistakes made in the name of "free markets." Nothing could be further from the truth.
Not one single ranking official of any of the major institutions that precipitated the crisis has ever been indicted, let alone convicted of any wrong doing. The statute of limitations for financial fraud has now run out, guaranteeing that the perpetrators of these crimes of the century will never be brought to justice. How, readers might ask, did this happen?
You see, under our legal system you can't be convicted of a crime unless you can prove intent. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which was charged with going after the bad guys, had to prove to a jury, beyond a reasonable doubt, that these top guns intended to commit fraud. Evidently, they couldn't or wouldn't.
The majority of the Dodd-Frank financial reforms, adopted with great fanfare over three years ago, have still not been implemented. This "never again" legislation has been effectively hamstrung by politicians on both sides of the aisle. These delays have been aided and abetted by the banking lobby (imagine that). As of September, just 40 percent of the provisions of this law have been finalized and integrated into law. In the meantime, several too-big-to-fail financial institutions have racked up billions in losses by transacting the same type of excessive speculative trades that triggered the subprime crisis.
So what have we learned?
If you lost your job and are unemployed, you've learned how to support a family by working part-time jobs, asking for government help or simply begging. If you kept your job, you've learned not to expect a raise no matter how hard you work, lest you be replaced for less money. Investors learned not to trust anyone on Wall Street, least of all their brokers.
However, if you are one of the bad guys you've learned that crime does pay. If you are an elected politician, you've learned that no matter what you promise, always protect your campaign contributors.

@the Market: Expect Another Volatile Week
The stakes are rising. On Friday, Vladimir Putin seemed to suggest that an attack on its ally, Syria, would provoke a response from Russia. President Obama stubbornly maintained that we will still take military action against Syria, who he accuses of breaking international law by gassing innocent people. Historically, financial markets don't take well to the threat of war between super powers.
Some might conclude that Russia is simply calling Obama's bluff by answering one attempt at sabre rattling with another, but investors normally would rather sell first and wait to see if a shooting war develops. In order to navigate the markets these days one needs to be a political analyst, military historian and fortune teller all at the same time.
Well, please come into my parlor, and we will see what my crystal ball says.
On one side, according to the U.S. government, there is some evidence that the Syrian regime did gas its own people. However, the United Nations, Russia, China and the majority of world opinion (including that of our allies) are disputing that and have made it clear that there is no justification for a military response from the U.S.
President Obama, suspecting that a military response might be a hard sell to the American public (less than 30 percent of Americans are in favor of a strike), handed the decision over to Congress last weekend. Both the House and Senate want more details and plan to vote on the issue next week. As a result, I believe that the stock and bond markets, worldwide, will be held hostage to that vote.
You can bet that markets will gyrate up and down based on every comment out of Congress and the White House. Overseas, Russia's Putin, ever the poker player, will be throwing in another chip or two in an effort to increase the stakes of the game. We could see naval or air alerts, even troop movements by Russia in support of its Syrian ally.
In the end, America will have to ask itself if it's worth it. In the face of a United Nations that refuses to uphold the laws it was created to defend, should we? How will a perceived loss of face and resolve impact Iranian or North Korean ambitions? Is gassing 1,000 Syrian civilians equal to gassing millions of Jews in World War II?
I believe that unless the polls change dramatically over the next few days, Americans have already given their answer and the politicians will vote accordingly. I'm guessing that President Obama, although stubborn, is also pragmatic. He will acquiesce to a congress "no go" vote and back down.
In which case, investors will have worried for nothing. At that point, we will be on the eve of the Fed's decision to taper (or not) on Sept. 18. What a wall of worry! Given all of the above, I am impressed by the resiliency of the markets thus far. We are above the S&P 500 Index's 50-day moving average and are less than 3 percent off record highs, despite Syrian worries. I warned readers last week that we are still not out of the woods quite yet. It appears that there are at least two or three good weeks to go before we can see a clearing on the other side. Take heart and stay invested.

@theMarket: Markets Will Drift Lower
August was not a great month for stock markets. September could be equally disappointing. After months of higher highs, a consolidation phase should be expected but it is not the end of the world.
As expected, from the peak, we have pulled back about 4.5 percent in the S&P 500 Index in August. As consolidations go, this one has been exceptionally mild. What makes it so painful is that we have all gotten used to one record high after another. We don't like losing money, even if they are only paper losses. I am putting you on notice that my worst-case scenario would be to expect another 4 to 5 percent of downside from here. Why?
Although I look at a number of indicators, the market's technical indicators across the board have started to deteriorate. So much so that it will make future short-term attempts to re-capture the recent highs problematic. Yet, on the plus side, there are some signs that we could be closer to a bottom than the bears might think.
All month I have been looking for a day in which the number of stocks with down volume on the New York Stock Exchange exceeded those with up volume by more than 90 percent. These 90 Percent Down Days are quite rare. We have only seen five instances of this type of behavior in 2013. In every instance, these readings occurred near the lows (3-5 percent) of their respective pullbacks.
On Tuesday of this week we had a 92 Percent Down Day on the NYSE. However, the event had some shortcomings. Ideally, you want this kind of sell-off (capitulation) to occur after a dramatic decline. Instead, the markets had rallied to new recovery highs prior to Tuesday. It was also a news-induced event, which lessens its significance. The catalyst for the decline was reports that the U.S. and its allies are planning some kind of retaliatory strike against the Syrian regime for its alleged role in gassing its own citizens. So Syria, As a result, any rebound we may get over the next few days should not be believed.
I suspect that at the earliest, we will not be out of the woods until after the Federal Open Market Committee meets again on Sept. 18. In the meantime, the debate over whether the Fed will begin to curtail their stimulus program at that time will occupy the headlines and the market's attentions. Back in July, I also warned readers that "we are entering that time of year when our dysfunctional political parties may once again roil the markets in an attempt to justify their miserable existence."
Over the next two months, be prepared for the politicians to resurrect all the battles of yesteryear: the debt limits, the deficit, the budget, Obama care, etc. This could be the excuse markets need to spend a month or two more consolidating the gains we have experienced since November of 2012. We could see another 4-5 percent downside in the meantime. That would be my worst case scenario. Overall, that's not much of a decline given the market's recent gains.

The main reason why I would do this is because of free space. Alternatively, it would be nice if you could release a patch with no sprites inserted.
I believe a simple python script would suffice to replace all the sprites with FF bytes, as well as dump a list of pointers to repoint [ for use with unlz.gba ]

This article is by special guest Jeff Struecker, a long-time Logos user, Army chaplain, and hero featured in the book and film Black Hawk Down. Read more about his story in part one of our three-part miniseries on Memorial Day, "Remember America's Heroes."
"So much ministry—so little time." This describes chaplains of all walks of life. Chaplaincy can be some of the most time-consuming and exhausting work in Christian ministry. Every chaplain I know feels like they have more ministry than they're able to keep up with. There's always another couple to counsel, always another crisis to be involved with, always another study to lead, and always another meeting to attend. This is the main reason why I helped create the Chaplain's Library from Logos.

There's been a break in a home invasion case where the victim was injured.
Nash County deputies have arrested five men for the April 1st home invasion on Dortches Boulevard. During the attack, Milton Joyner and Sherly Jeans were tied up and property stolen from the home.
Johnathan Murray of Nashville, Michael Bryant of Nashville, Robert Dawes of Roanoke Rapids, and Douglas Whitfield of Nashville were charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, first degree burglary, first degree kidnapping, robbery with a dangerous weapon and felony conspiracy.
Roger Pittman of Rocky Mount is facing two counts of felony conspiracy.
Deputies say bonds for the men range from $400,000 to $27,000, explaining that they went before different magistrates when they were arrested.

The newest Prince EXO3 Rebel 95 features a bright yellow paint scheme and updated string suspension inserts. The pinnacle of control in the Prince line, this racquet features a solid 11.5 ounce unstrung weight and a very head light balance, making it the perfect option for players of various styles. In addition to a slightly more conventional appearance, the EXO3 Rebel 95 makes up for it in performance, featuring the new string suspension inserts that take advantage of a thermoplastic resin additive designed to reduce vibration for improved feel. The tight string pattern provides exceptional precision to hit spots from anywhere on the court and move the opponent around. Our testers found that this version had a slighter softer feel and a touch more power than the former EXO3 Rebel, thanks to a very small weight reduction.
Note: Prince does not provide a cover with this racquet. Please check out our complete selection of Prince Bag.

Nice racquet, quick delivery!
User: Lisa R Lang, AZ
This is my 3rd set of Prince racquets and Im really happy with them. I tried the new wider string patterns but ultimately decided on this racquet.
Good stick, good price
User: Bill, IL
The weight and balance are just right for me. It has a good solid feel on ballstriking, particularly at net where I like to be. I am never aware of the racquet while playing, which is perfect, it just feels like an integrated tool that needs no adjustment. Plus I like bright garish colors : The price was right too, I got it on a limited time offer for $119, which is excellent for a racket of this quality. No regrets at all, except maybe not buying two.
Good Stick
User: Bill Little, Texas
I recently switched to the Rebel 95 after using the Head Speed Pro for a few years. The Rebel does not have the weight of the Speed Pro even though on paper their awfully close but is every bit as solid. The tighter string pattern give you better accuracy, without giving up that much spin. I plan to put a leather grip on it to balance it out and make it more like my Head, weight-wise but otherwise Im very pleased with it.
Excellent Midsize Racquet
User: Chris Kirkman, Florida
For someone who has played tennis for about 35 years, I needed something that wasnt heavy, yet also didnt generate all kinds of unnecessary power. There are way too many racquets sold today that sucker the gullible into a purchase because they promise a truckload of power, but dont tell you that with that with all that power comes no control whatsoever. This racquet allows the experienced player the opportunity to have both. Proper technique is where power is generated, not through the use of a rocket propelled grenade. I love this racquet, which is why I own 3.
User: Mark Asder, CA
The ultimate serious Junior stick! Being the father of a D1 college player, my daughter brought this stick to me on spring break. After hitting with her for a while, Im an immediate believer. For those who are stuck with heavier is better I use an original graphite 93 The Rebel 95 is a much welcomed relief. My kid used the Ozone 7 red before and loved the change. Power, accuracy and tunability makes this racket heaven sent. Super stick! Great job again Prince.
Something is different
User: Chris Kirkman, Florida
Still a fantastic racquet; however I have the prior year version of the same and something has changed. It feels perhaps a bit heavier. Not sure why as the specs are the same, all the same the racquet just feels different. I was also more fond of the yellow/black coloring from the prior year. Anyway, with my bright pink grip and this racquets bright yellow color, I stand out in a crowd.
Nothing New
User: Cletus, Texas
If youre worried that this racquets got different feel from the previous model,no need to worry. After a few hours of hitting I wasnt able to feel anything special with the new technology. Solid frame, but nothing special.

SMQ: Edlam (North vs. Memorial)...
By Robert Przybylo
I've talked to Jordan Marczewski, Blake Umberham, Adrian Shoecraft and Nelson Medeiros. They're all in agreement. That was the best defensive performance they've ever been a part of.
Alright, well maybe that was just the heat of the moment. So I called head coach Justin Merideth and asked the same thing. Since he was the defensive coordinator all those years, knew he would have some perspective.
Nope, all in agreement. With what was on the line (Edlam, city championship, second place in the district), Merideth cannot remember a better outing. In a game those Memorial kids will remember, the defense played lights out in a 10-0 win against North.
Memorial 10, North 0
I've praised the defense and will continue to do so, but I want to talk about what I thought was key.
Memorial took over at its own 5-yard line with 10:40 left in the fourth quarter. North didn't see the ball again until the three-minute mark. A nearly eight-minute drive that really only got to midfield, but it drained the North defense.
The Bulldogs had three third down conversions on the drive. It finally stalled once Josh Sierra was banged up, and Cale Olbert had to move to fullback instead of running back.
But the damage was done. North earned one first down before Travis Townsend's pass sailed into the arms of Medeiros, who went down the sidelines for the game's only touchdown.
I thought the first half was sloppy and said so in the game blog. But the second half was all defense. One big stick after another, both ways. It's going to get lost in Memorial's outing, but North gave up less than 100 yards of total offense.
It wasn't Kameron Doolittle or Joe Aska Jr. It was Colton Byford and Jared Chambers. Those were the difference makers. Chambers changes the game with his sack of Townsend. Townsend throws three interceptions after that sack.
And Will Conant. He boomed that 44-yard field goal into the wind like nothing. Austin Brasher couldn't return the favor on his field goal attempt. Both were solid on kickoffs as was expected.
It was fitting that the defense ended up scoring the only TD.
Boneman's Breakdown
- I won't second-guess coach Jeremy Dombek as he knows his players, but I thought Danny Rossi should have been in at QB in the second half. I just didn't see Townsend with any strength to throw. It was all arm throws in the final 24 minutes.
- I will give Doolittle credit for this. When nothing was there, he accepted it. That was key. Take the sack or short loss and punt. Don't turn it over. You don't worry about individual stats in a game like that.
- Memorial OL Matt Hall said the team that had the least mistakes would win. Sure enough, it was exactly that way.
- That celebration scene was, for the lack of a better term, awesome. The raw emotion that came out from the players and coaches is why we do what we do. And Medeiros being hoisted on the shoulders, c'mon, priceless stuff.
Final analysis: In the five-game winning streak, Memorial has given up 0, 7, 3, 7 and 0 points. Yep, 17 points in five games. That's why the Bulldogs will be hosting a first-round playoff game, and that's why Ryan Aber (and of course, myself) have 'em in the top 10 for the first time this season.
North has some injury issues. Townsend with the ankle and Qua'Don Henderson's ankle issue. And Aska seems like he is wearing down a little. He hasn't rushed for more than 100 yards in the last three weeks. The defense played as well as it possibly could, so I'm not getting off the bandwagon yet.
Up next: Memorial (6-3, 5-1) is at Putnam City to close out the regular season while North (7-2, 4-2) will have its senior night against Westmoore. North is guaranteed to place third in the district.
Look for videos galore on NewsOK this weekend. I was at North's pep rally, and that black light party was fun. And then, of course, I was all over the Memorial mob scene at the end and talked with Nelson Medeiros once again. Also, look for a big story on Blake Umberham in Monday's paper. You'll see why once you read it.

Peach Cobbler
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 20 mins
This is a must try recipe. It is so easy to make and so delicious. I'm sure you can substitute any fruit you like. I have only tried the peach and it was with fresh peaches. It's so good hot with vanilla ice-cream or if you prefer, whipped cream. This recipe is a keeper. This is from the cooks.com site. Many good recipes there.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 709.77 ml fresh peaches, sliced
- 236.59 ml sugar
- 14.79 ml cornstarch
- 177.44 ml water
- 158.51 ml Bisquick (I used 1 c.)
- 44.37 ml sugar
- 44.37 ml butter, melted
- 118.29 ml milk
- vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
- Cook peaches, sugar, cornstarch and water on stove until thick.
- Place in baking dish.
- Mix Bisquick, sugar, melted butter, and milk.
- Drop on top of peach mixture.
- Bake 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees.
- Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Most Helpful
I had some nectarines that were hard as a rock so I decided to make a cobbler out of them. This recipe was especially good for these as you pre-cook the fruit first - a very easy step to do. When I made the batter (I love using bisquick by the way), it seemd a little runny. After it sat in the bowl for about 5 minutes it thickened up a little so don't be tempted to add more bisquick, just wait. I will definitely use this recipe again with other fruits (cherries, blueberry, apples) as well.
This is a fantastic peach cobbler recipe! I didn't measure the ingredients precisely because I was making a heaping 9x13 pan of it and I wasn't sure what size pan you used. i used a whole stick of butter which was probably way too much but it was delicious - nice and moist but not soggy. The topping had a nicer consistency and taste than typical 'Bisquick' recipes (which all seem to have that same 'Bisquick' taste).
I loved this recipe. It was so easy and instead of sugar, I used Splenda--it was fantastic! A real keeper

The dealer has recommended 3 repairs for my 1996 Mercury Cougar: Cluster Bulb replacement; Oil Filter Adapter Gasket replacement, and Lower Ball Joint replacement. He has quoted me a price of over $650. Is this a fair estimate for all the repairs? Can you give me an estimate for labor costs for each repair?

Oklahoma football: Sooners' history with Notre Dame lost on current players
NORMAN — Asked Monday about his awareness of Oklahoma's football history with Notre Dame, Justin Brown confessed being pretty oblivious to it.
"Not too much," said the senior wide receiver.
"I heard they broke a winning streak. I did hear that."
Hey, it's a start. In November 1957, of course, the Fighting Irish snapped Oklahoma's record 47-game win streak with a 7-0 victory on Owen Field, where the two traditional powers will meet Saturday in a top-10, primetime clash.
Brown's excuse is airtight; he's from far-away Delaware, and only became a Sooner a few months ago after transferring from Penn State. He'd never been to the state of Oklahoma until visiting just before his transfer.
But how about a couple fifth-year seniors, like quarterback Landry Jones and defensive end R.J. Washington?
"I'm not really aware of much of it, but I'm sure there's a lot of great games that have been played," Jones said.
"I don't know if that necessarily matters in who wins this game or loses this game, but I should probably read up on my history of the game."
Is he aware the Sooners are 1-8 all-time against Notre Dame?
"Now I am," he responded with a smile.
Washington said he'd just assumed there was a glorious history between the schools, filled with several epic, championship-caliber battles.
"They have a lot of tradition, and we have a lot of tradition," Washington said. "I just assumed they met up in the (national championship game) somewhere way back when.
"I was walking past the TV, and it said, 'Notre Dame, all-time record against OU.' I was like, '1-8? Oh, dang.'"
Coach Bob Stoops said it isn't important that he talk extensively with his players about the series' past.
"These are 18-, 19-, 21- and 22-year-old guys," Stoops said. "I can try to engage them all I want in what happened way back when. I don't think it's gonna matter."
And really, that's the bottom line: For current Oklahoma — and, for that matter, Notre Dame — players, aspects of Saturday's game like history and a snapped winning streak don't mean too much.
Heck, most of today's Sooner and Fighting Irish players weren't even 10-years old in 1999, the last time the programs met on the gridiron.
"Then, it's not like we even knew we were coming to OU," Washington said.
"It would be different if it were recent history ... OU-Texas history is a little different than Notre Dame-OU history, because we've seen OU-Texas history. We haven't seen that, so we can't even imagine it."
Defensive ends coach Bobby Jack Wright said the history and tradition is great for fans — and even makes the game special to he and his fellow coaches — but none of that has anything to do with what happens on the field Saturday.
"None of what happened prior has anything to do with this team or this game," Wright said. "It's all about Oklahoma today and Notre Dame today. That's the way it should be."
Before the 1999 game, which Notre Dame came from behind to win 34-30, the last time the traditional powers played was 1968 in South Bend, Ind.
Two years before that, in 1966, the Fighting Irish made their last trek to Norman for a football game.
"I think Coach Stoops was six," Washington said of when that game was played, before adding with a laugh. "Coach Wright might've been 35.
"No ... he was 16, though. We asked him."
Told of Washington's comment, Wright chuckled.
"He was alluding to how old I am," he said. "I told him, 'I'm a lot better looking old man than you are a young man.'
"Most of the games were so long ago, I can understand why most of them don't know anything about the history, other than what we've told them.
"Certainly the media is interested because everybody's going crazy about it. I understand even (ESPN College) GameDay is gonna be here, so apparently it's a big media deal. That adds to it ... but in the locker room and in the meeting rooms, it's about our very proud football team going against their very proud football team."

How to Shell a Peanut
Have you ever tried to shell a peanut but ended up getting the shell everywhere? Well, this will show you the proper and easiest way to do it.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Find the split that is already on the shell.
2Place your thumbs on opposing sides of the shell's split.
3Apply a little pressure. If the peanut shell starts opening you know you've got the right spot.
4Continue to apply pressure and the shell should split even more.
5Pry the shell from the nut.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Be careful when prying the shell off, as the nut may fall out. Be ready - you might need to catch the nuts with your hand or remove the shell over a bowl. The wisest thing to do would be to keep the opening of the shell facing up.
- If you're allergic to nuts, don't eat them.
