The Last Man of Letters
Since the whole project was his idea, it is fitting that Edmund Wilson now finds himself among the Library of America's roster of canonical authors. Wilson, our last great "man of letters," often behaved as though he were personally responsible for lifting the standards of American literary life to European levels. In the early 1960s he outlined the idea of reprinting the American classics in a uniform edition along the lines of the French Pléiade. The idea turned out to be a good one, and now Wilson finds himself posthumously rewarded with two large volumes containing the first three decades of his literary criticism.
Wilson, who was vocal about his distaste for religion, did not believe in an afterlife; but if he happens right now to be tracking his name on the literary stock exchange, he might be pleased about the appearance of these writings. Until his death in 1972, he was a dominant literary figure; but the later publication of his private journals, starting with "The Twenties" and ending with "The Sixties," shifted everyone's attention to his carefully recorded sexual adventures. These amounted to the coldest of appetites working its way through waitresses, burlesque dancers and Greenwich Village waifs. A low point -- or comic highpoint, depending on your view -- is reached when the aging Wilson weighs the pros and cons of seducing the wife of his dentist.
These Library of America volumes of his early criticism should restore a great literary reputation. They are also a reminder that there was once a time when books really mattered. Wilson had a taste for good writing; he read everything, and in elegant, conversational essays shared his likes and dislikes with readers of The New Republic and The New Yorker. He is not remembered for any catchphrase like T.S. Eliot's "dissociation of sensibility"; nor, despite his leftist sympathies, did he want to be anyone's political conscience. Rather, he took each book on its own terms and wrote engagingly about authors that other New York critics would pass over because there was no way of inserting Thornton Wilder or Thomas Love Peacock into the intellectual agonies of the day.
Acerbic Criticism
In his private life Wilson early mastered a perpetual middle age. The poet E.E. Cummings, a target of his acerbic criticism, called him "the man in the iron necktie." But as the early pieces collected in "The Shores of Light" and reprinted in the first of these volumes show, Wilson even in his mid-20s was an impressively mature critic. He was quick to spot strong native talents like Hemingway and Fitzgerald (whom he knew at Princeton) while at the same time bringing to his readers early bulletins about the literary modernism of Joyce, Proust and Eliot.
Read an excerpt from "Hemingway: Gauge of Morale," included in "Edmund Wilson: Literary Essays and Reviews of the 1930s & 40s."
Wilson came of age in an era when there were few living American writers worth reading. He loathed the vulgar commercialism of post-Civil War America but equally abhorred the "genteel tradition" of letters presided over by literary ladies and emaciated brahmins. During that period, he wrote, Stephen Crane "was a vortex of intensity in a generally stagnant sea." He thought that American vitality and energy were not properly reflected in its literature and called for writers "who successfully use colloquial American for a novel of the highest artistic purpose."
(two volumes—1920s & 30s, 1930s & 40s)
(Library of America, $40 each volume)
Fortunately, Hemingway, Dos Passos and Fitzgerald were just beginning their careers, and Wilson wrote encouraging articles that displayed their own first-rate artistry. Of Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises," he writes: "The dry sunlight and the green summer landscapes have been invested with a sinister quality which must be new in literature." He also kept tabs on the larger culture, producing an essay on Woodrow Wilson, emphasizing the man's messianic priggishness, that ranks among the best political journalism written by an American, up there with Mencken's blistering obituary of Theodore Roosevelt.
Edmund Wilson did not live long enough to bother about the "death of the author" announced by French critics like Roland Barthes. This was fortunate, because he had a masterly way of connecting an author's work with his biography. His superb sketches make even a crabbed, reclusive personality like A.E. Houseman seem fascinating. An acute literary psychologist, Wilson writes that Dickens is "a conspicuous example of a writer who owes his dramatic scope at least partly to a social maladjustment... he seems almost as unstable as Dostoyevsky." Wilson, in fact, is famous for just one idea: that genius and disease may be inextricably linked. In his book "The Wound and the Bow," he guesses that Sophocles' classical qualities of balance and logic count as great art "because they master so much savagery and madness."
Whether writing about Greek tragedy or an exotic popinjay like Ronald Firbank, Wilson induces in the reader a ravenous appetite to share his favorite books. He even makes you want to dig up a copy of Emily Post's "Etiquette," which apparently contains more acute social observation than all but a handful of American novels. He almost persuaded me to crack open "Finnegans Wake." But not quite: His summary of Joyce's vast literary puzzle is so expertly done that I have the happy impression that I may have done so already.
Mailbags of Protest
If Wilson's literary enthusiasms are contagious, his dislikes are entertaining. In the mid-1940s he decided to sample a number of detective novels and wrote a famous piece for The New Yorker claiming that the whole genre was a waste of time, that he didn't care who killed George Ackroyd. The article brought in mailbags of protest, but Wilson stuck to his guns. Of Cummings he writes: "One suspects in him an incapacity for putting himself in the place of the person who is going to read him." The stories of John Steinbeck "mark precisely the borderline between work that is definitely superior and work that is definitely bad." The now-forgotten novelist Louis Bromfield "by unremitting industry ... has gradually made his way into the fourth rank, where his place is now secure."
The most affecting pieces in these two volumes are the memoirs of Greenwich Village in the 1920s and '30s, of figures like Edna St. Vincent Millay and the art critic Paul Rosenfeld. Wilson summons up a lost world bounded by MacDougal Street and Irving Place, with its leisurely drinking and late-night literary discussions and bohemians working hard to be free spirits. The effect is oddly like that of his literary criticism: He makes us nostalgic for a world uncluttered by electronics, where the arts of conversation and writing go hand in hand. He is among the last great chroniclers of a place he called the Republic of Letters, which has not survived into our digitally enhanced age.

Buffalo Wild Wings just invested in Rusty Taco, a fast-casual gourmet taco chain based in Texas.
Upscale tacos are becoming all the rage. Taco Bell just launched a new upscale chain called U.S. Taco Co.
The new investment bodes well for Rusty Taco — Buffalo Wild Wings is one of the most successful restaurants in the industry right now.
Rusty Taco opened in 2010 currently has multiple locations in Dallas, Denver, and Minneapolis, according to Nation's Restaurant News. The new investment means it could expand soon.
The exterior of the restaurant is modern and industrial, with wood, big windows, and outdoor seating.
Unlike fast food chains like Taco Bell, Rusty Taco offers more of an upscale, fast-casual experience that consumers crave. There is ample seating, but you order at the counter.
Rusty Taco prides itself on its fresh ingredients, such as cilantro and slow-cooked meats.
Rusty Taco writes on its Facebook page that it makes its tortillas and salsa fresh and from scratch every day.
There's a toppings station that is reminiscent to Chipotle, and your tacos are made in front of you.
Menu items include a baja shrimp taco, barbecue brisket taco, and achiote pork taco. Tacos are generally priced between $2.50 and $3.
The chain serves breakfast tacos all day, and was named one of the best options in Dallas by Zagat. Options include chorizo, egg, and cheese and jalapeno sausage, egg, and cheese.
Restaurants feature a "sauce station" where customers can more easily customize their tacos.
If you're craving dessert, Rusty Taco has a sweet, fried fruit taco.
There is also a selection of beer, wine, and cocktails.

Sidharth Malhotra seems to be going the Aamir Khan way. The actor is changing his look for every film. Depending on his role and the character he is playing, Sidharth moulds his body and alters his look.
For his debut film Student of the Year Sidharth was a buff and muscular student. For Hasee Toh Phasee Sidharth lost some muscle as his character was lean, while he put on a lot more muscle in order to beef up for his character in Ek Villain.
The young actor is following in Aamir Khan's footsteps who changes his look drastically for every film from Ghajini to 3 Idiots. Sidharth too not only changes his look but also his body type for every film.
For his upcoming film Warrior, Sidharth has to beef up as his role requires him to put weigh 90 kg. He is on a high protein diet and weight training schedule.Sidharth has been working out rigorously to fit into the skin of his character for each and every film

Household Debt Vs. GDP
This chart tracks the relationship between household debt and gross domestic product. You'll see two years when Americans' debt becomes 100 percent of GDP — 1929 and 2007. It's the chart that made Columbia professor David Beim say:
"The problem is us. The problem is not the banks, greedy though they may be, overpaid though they may be. The problem is us... We've been living very high on the hog. Our living standard has been rising dramatically in the last 25 years. And we have been borrowing much of the money to make that prosperity happen."

European Stocks Dip
European stock markets fell Wednesday, as fears about the weakening euro zone economy prompted market participants to consolidate recent gains.
The benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 index lost 0.4% to finish at 249.93. Nationally, the U.K.'s FTSE 100 index fell 0.5% at 5670.82, France's CAC-40 index shed 0.2% to 3204.83 and Germany's DAX slipped 0.2% to 6152.34.
Wednesday's declines came after David Riley, head of sovereign ratings for Fitch Ratings, reportedly said the European Central Bank should step up purchases of troubled government bonds in order to save Italy and prevent a "cataclysmic" euro collapse.
On top of that, fresh signs that Europe's economy is slowing added to fears about how the debt crisis there will play out. Economic data released during the day showed Germany's economy contracted by around 0.25% in the fourth quarter of 2011, while Spain's industrial output dropped 7% in November from a year earlier after declining 4.2% in October, suggesting Spain's economy may have also contracted in the fourth quarter.
Indeed, according to economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal, the euro zone will most likely experience a short recession, but the common currency will be under pressure for years to come. Forty-eight of 50 economists said that the euro zone is in a recession now or one is imminent, while just two believe the region will avoid a downturn. But the majority of those who predict a recession—29 economists—expect it to last less than a year. (Fifty-four economists were surveyed by the Journal, and the full results will be released later this week. Not all respondents answered every question.)
Adding to these concerns, the ECB said its overnight deposit facility reached another record, suggesting euro-zone banks prefer to park cash safely at the ECB than lend to other banks.
Furthermore, speculation that France had been warned of an imminent credit-rating downgrade by Standard & Poor's Investors Service added pressure, although market participants shrugged off the talk following a top French official saying the French government hasn't received any notification of a downgrade from any ratings firm.
The timelines sketched out by rating firms for assessing France's triple-A rating and its stable outlook have led investors to expect a decision could come in the next days or weeks. S&P has France on negative credit watch for up to a two-notch downgrade, pending an assessment of the results of the Dec. 9 European summit.
Worries about the euro-zone economy overshadowed some of the better news out Wednesday. Earlier, an auction of five-year German government debt attracted very strong demand, with the average yield for that maturity below 1% for the first time on record.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel Wednesday paid tribute to Italy's reform and debt-cutting efforts. The bilateral summit between Ms. Merkel and Mr. Monti is the latest in a series of meetings in Berlin this week aimed at restarting Europe's battle to stem the debt crisis. The meeting comes ahead of a European Union summit Jan. 30.
On Wall Street, stocks fell Wednesday on worries about the weakening euro-zone economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.3% to 12430, while the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index eased 0.1% to 1290.
In currency markets, the euro was fetching $1.2688 against the dollar, from $1.2778 late Tuesday in New York. The dollar was at 76.91 yen, compared with 76.85 yen.
Meanwhile, light, sweet crude for February delivery was $1.04 down at $101.20 on the New York Mercantile Exchange by late in Europe. At the same time, gold for February delivery was $12.30 higher at $1,643.80 per troy ounce late in Europe on the Comex division of Nymex.

Self Employed Health Insurance
Receive the best medical treatment when you need it most...
Why Self Employed Health Insurance?
Self employed health cover provides you with access to private healthcare so you can bypass NHS waiting lists.
Peace of mind knowing there are no waiting lists, highest standards of care and round the clock visiting hours.
Have choice over where and when your treatment takes place as well as the specialist who treats you.
Speak to our expert independent advisers or get an instant online quote to compare the UK's leading insurers.
What does Self Employed Medical Insurance cover?
Private Medical Insurance
pays for healthcare treatment in private medical facilities. The scope of the cover provided can vary considerably depending on the options selected.
Core Cover
Most plans will cover inpatient and day patient treatment in full which means that you would be covered for treatment, testing and consultations where a hospital bed is required either overnight or just for the day.
Outpatient Cover
In order to be covered for initial consultations and diagnostic testing where a hospital bed is not required a level of outpatient cover is recommended to avoid NHS outpatient waiting lists.
How does Soletrader PMI work?
The level of cover and type of treatment required will determine the exact process but the main variation depends on whether the policy includes outpatient cover.
No Outpatient Cover
With Outpatient Cover
Holding a policy without outpatient cover means that you run the risk of having to go through the NHS outpatient waiting list for diagnostic testing and initial consultations.
Do I need Private Medical Insurance?
Although the National Health Service (NHS) does a brilliant job with limited resources, millions of people in the UK have decided they would rather be treated privately.
Should I go private?
Those with private healthcare cover benefit from speedier diagnosis and treatment, the highest quality care, lower infection risks, private rooms with internet access and round the clock visiting times.
Health Insurance is particularly popular with both company directors and soletraders who need to return to work as quickly as possible and often cannot afford to wait for treatment on the NHS, especially as the self-employed do not receive sick pay.
Your Key Options
Choose the level of Outpatient Cover
Although the level of outpatient cover makes a sizable difference to the premiums it does ensure that initial consultations and testing can be done privately.
Cancer Cover
A popular option is to upgrade the policy so there is no time limit for the provision of biological cancer drugs (some plans have a standard limit of 12 months).
Psychiatric Cover
Although some plans include a base level of psychiatric cover it is more common for this to be a policy upgrade most insurers, especially for outpatient treatment.
Super service from James from start to very quick finish. He was efficient and knowledgable about the products available to myself, and guided me to the right policy for me.
Highly recommended! Initially I was a bit overwhelmed with the various products on the market, but after a few conservations with Drewberry got the advice I was looking for and at a very competitive price too.
What is self employed private medical insurance?
Whether you decide to take out a basic plan or the most comprehensive policy, all health insurance options for the self employed provide full cover for inpatient healthcare. An inpatient is someone who requires an overnight stay in hospital and all medical plans will cover the full cost of tests, scans, consultations and treatments where is this the case.
The more comprehensive the cover you decide upon the greater the level of outpatient cover and additional benefits, including the likes of physiotherapy, psychiatric cover and overseas cover.
Important to remember
Please note health insurance is not a replacement for the NHS, health insurance is designed to work in tandem with the NHS. Admissions to Accident and Emergency, GP services and the treatment of chronic conditions still tend to be provided by the NHS.
What about the NHS?
With potentially sizable NHS waiting lists most businessmen and women need to receive treatment much faster than these waiting lists will tend to allow as the success of their business depends on their ability to continue working. A self-employed health plan gives you the option of receiving treatment when it suits you best, and not when the NHS can fit you in.
NHS Waiting Lists
- In January 2010 there were 632,108 people waiting for inpatient treatment.
- Of this number, 133,587 had been waiting for 10 weeks or longer.
- There were also 910,595 people waiting for outpatient treatment in January 2010.
- Of this number, 21,080 had been waiting for 10 weeks or longer.
Source: Department for Health Commissioner based statistics for England, January 2010
Do I need it?
In January 2010, Department for Health Commissioner based statistics showed that over 133,000 people in England had been waiting for inpatient treatment on the NHS for at least 10 weeks.
These same statistics showed that over 21,000 people had been waiting 10 weeks or longer for outpatient treatment. The simple reality is that most business people cannot afford to spend this long away from their business waiting for diagnosis and treatment.
A large number of employers will provide private medical insurance to their staff to reduce the length of time they are away from work should they suffer an illness or injury.
Being self-employed you do not have the benefit of employer provided health cover but the personal insurance market is ideally placed to provide you with the cover most appropriate to you and your working situation.
Keeping the cost down
Let's not beat around the bush, working for yourself is no walk in the park and for the vast majority it means watching the pennies. We all should keep a close eye on our finances however it is even more important for those going it alone.
You'll be pleased to know their are many options available in the health plan market to suit all budgets, whether it is reduced outpatient benefits or adding an excess there are options available to help you stick to your budget.
The waters can be murky so our experts are on hand to ensure you understand all the options available and help you choose the most suitable policy within your budget. Whether it is adding an excess, changing the hospital list or limiting the outpatient cover we are here to offer our expert advice.
Key policy options
Although all self employed health care plans provide full cover for inpatient treatment, individuals may wish to take out a comprehensive plan and include cover for a number of additional benefits which may be of particular relevance.
Outpatient cover
The main difference between basic, mid-range and comprehensive health plans relates to the amount of outpatient cover and additional benefits provided. An outpatient is someone who does not require a hospital bed or an overnight stay.
Generally, with the exception of scans and radiotherapy & chemotherapy, outpatient healthcare is only covered by more comprehensive plans. If you would like specialist consultations and more advanced diagnostic tests to be covered as an outpatient you should select a comprehensive plan.
Comprehensive option
One of the main benefits of private medical insurance relates to the speed of which diagnosis and treatment can be undertaken. Taking out a comprehensive plan means that cover would be provided for tests, scans, consultations and treatments as an outpatient.
Including this cover would therefore allow you to gain the necessary outpatient healthcare quickly and at a time most suitable to you and your business schedule.
Physiotherapy & alternative medicines
Working long hours in front of a computer or in a manual related workplace can be very stressful on the body, especially the back and neck. Including physiotherapy and alternative medicines (particularly osteopathy) can help to correct these medical conditions and allow you to continue working at the same intensity.
If you have to wait longer than six weeks then you would go private straight away. The six week wait option is therefore a useful method of gaining affordable health insurance and avoiding potentially long NHS waiting lists.
Overseas cover
If you spend time working overseas you may wish to include overseas emergency medical cover in case something happens to your health whilst abroad.
The addition of this option would also cover your repatriation to the UK for further medical treatment should that be needed.
Useful Resource
There are so many things to consider when moving to self employment, your health and financial protection being just one.
The citizens advice bureau has compiled a really useful self-employment checklist for those considering self employment.

Skip to comments.Why people believe weird things about money
Posted on 01/16/2008 1:25:06 AM PST by forkinsocket
Evolution accounts for a lot of our strange ideas about finances.
Would you rather earn $50,000 a year while other people make $25,000, or would you rather earn $100,000 a year while other people get $250,000? Assume for the moment that prices of goods and services will stay the same.
Surprisingly -- stunningly, in fact -- research shows that the majority of people select the first option; they would rather make twice as much as others even if that meant earning half as much as they could otherwise have. How irrational is that?
This result is one among thousands of experiments in behavioral economics, neuroeconomics and evolutionary economics conclusively demonstrating that we are every bit as irrational when it comes to money as we are in most other aspects of our lives. In this case, relative social ranking trumps absolute financial status. Here's a related thought experiment. Would you rather be A or B?
A is waiting in line at a movie theater. When he gets to the ticket window, he is told that as he is the 100,000th customer of the theater, he has just won $100.
B is waiting in line at a different theater. The man in front of him wins $1,000 for being the 1-millionth customer of the theater. Mr. B wins $150.
Amazingly, most people said that they would prefer to be A. In other words, they would rather forgo $50 in order to alleviate the feeling of regret that comes with not winning the thousand bucks. Essentially, they were willing to pay $50 for regret therapy.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
Apparently people are selfish morons. What's new there?
Wow. The LA Times admits that liberals are irrational.
Hmm I guess this is the LA times on why California deserves the biggest Federal bailout of $$$. They don't want to feel any regret!
I'm convinced that there's a physical reason why I cannot get any pleasure from gambling.
I would be perfectly happy, and gracious, if I won Powerball or something like that. But, losing a dollar on a lottery ticket would just piss me off and I won't do it.
I remember learning to play poker at school as a teenager. We played for pennies or matchsticks.
I didn't like losing matchsticks. They weren't even my matchsticks.
I don't mind losing at cribbage, backgammon, Scrabble, etc. However, if I have to physically give up something is puts me in a black mood.
Of course, I'm in a foul mood anyway because I had to make quarterly tax payments yesterday...
People are irrational and a little crazy when it comes to money.
In graduate school I supported myself for several years by doing emergency psychiatric evaluations in local emergency rooms. I'd be called in to assess whether someone was suicidal, depressed, psychotic or had a substance abuse issue, etc. Part of any psych assessment is establishing current mental status and determining stressors in the environment such as money or work problems.
So one asks very personal questions about people's sex life and libido. Similarly, you ask about financial situation as well.
It always has surprised me that people, of any age and social background, disclose information about their sexuality in a very matter of fact manner. I suppose because they think it's something the doctors have some right to know.
However, ask people about their finances and they'll stiffen up, push you away and be markedly uncomfortable. Very strange indeed.

I won't say much about either... ;-)
These results are not irrational in light of evolutionary theory. Reproductive opportunities accrue to society's "winners". If you make 100K and everyone else makes $250K then you will fear drinking your champagne alone.
There's a man who visits Hell. In Hell, there are three giant cauldrons in which the sinners are being boiled. On the rim of one stands a regiment of demons, shoulder to shoulder, constantly using their pitchforks to smack down the sinners who are trying to escape. On the rim of the second walk a few demons, who occasionally whack someone down. The rim of the third is empty, but no-one is getting out.
"What's going on here?," the visitor asks. "There are three kinds of people," the Devil says, "Jews, Poles, and Russians. Jews are in the first cauldron. When one looks like he's trying to escape, all the rest follow him. We need a lot of demons to manage them."
"Poles are in the second cauldron. Occasionally someone is trying to escape, but the others don't pay any attention. It takes just a few demons to deal with this kind."
"The third cauldron contains Russians: When one is starting to escape, all the others drag him back down by the ankles."
How irrational is that?
It's not irrational at all if you discount the (silly) premise that prices would remain unchanged with 5X the M3 money supply chasing the same goods.
But they won't stay the same. A rising market floats all ships, etc., so if income is doubled, then goods and services have to pay those higher wages, and the costs go up.
A person in an economy is better off making twice the average income than a person making less than half the average income, on a peer-to-peer basis.
For example, we bought our first house in a low-income area, and elected to commute to a high-income area to work. We got more house and less taxes for our money, and in a few years were able to save enough to get the house we really wanted. If the average income in a system is halved, then higher prices are not supported.
In our case it had nothing to do with peer rivalry-It was a sound economic strategy that paid off.
That explains why my career-student brother in law who just completed his doctorate is accepting a $40k a year job.
I think that you sort of missed the point of this exercise...
Actually, Neal Boortz talked about this sort of study (it may have been the same one, for all I know) some weeks ago.
This whole thing is more about class warfare and envy than anything else. And that many people would rather see others fail, even if it winds up costing them in both the sort and long term!
Ugh, this is one of those times I am proud to have missed the point, then..that did not get through to me.
But I have a neighbor who is a jeweller, and he told me of a revolting side of human nature. People gladly pay a premium for a one-of-a-kind piece if they are sure their neighbor can NEVER have one like it, and KNOWS they cannot, at any price.
I am grateful not to know these people.
Just goes to show that the mantra of the Yuppies was right.
Most people believe: He who has the most toys, wins!
This research goes a long way toward debunking one of the biggest myths in all of psychology and economics, known as "Homo economicus." This is the theory that "economic man" is rational, self-maximizing and efficient in making choices.
Why don't lobster pots in Canada need lids?
Because when one of the lobsters tries to climb out, the others pull him down.
The article asserts that people AREN'T "rational" about "economics."
The fallacy here is a false reification—i.e., the notion that "economic" choices involve ONLY something called "money" and "goods and services" that are sold by businesses.
As has been pointed out by other posters: The man making half as much as others will have a very hard time finding a wife, whereas the man who is poorer absolutely but wealthier relatively will find a wife easily and enjoy high social status. The fallacy in the question lies in the assumptions about what "goods and services" are actually "for sale" in a society.
Amazingly, it is apparent that most people are idiots...and it is being born out watching this primary season.
My thoughts exactly. Assuming I could still work to earn more money, I'd take the second option.
Exactly. Because the price of goods is related to the amount of money chasing those goods, under the first option prices would stabilize to a point where you would enjoy a much greater standard of living than under the second. While your nominal income is greater in the second option, your real income is greater in the first.
Also, assume that monkeys are flying out of my butt.
I would say that people interviewed are implicitly rejecting the assumption that "oh lets hold inflation fixed". Bwhaha. Yeah right.
Very unrealistic.

A Union Pacific train struck a truck at a Kansas City rail yard Monday evening, but no injuries were reported.
The crash happened about 7:15 p.m. near State Line Road and Central Avenue.

Apple's music products and services accounted for 44 percent of Apple's revenue. Oppenheimer said that the iPod shuffle was especially possible, though Apple doesn't give figures on sales of individual models. Apple ended the quarter with 4-7 weeks of iPod channel inventory, which is within the company's goal.
The iTunes Store helped other music revenue grow 35 percent year over year. For the recent financial quarter, gross margins rose to 35.1 percent, up from 29.8 percent in the year-earlier quarter. However, Apple offered fiscal third-quarter guidance slightly below what analysts expected, forecasting revenue of $5.1 billion and earnings per share of 66 cents. Analysts had expected profit of 67 cents per share on revenue of $5.5 billion.

Hi there,
I'm looking for a bike to commute to work and would love some suggestions. My commute will be 7 miles each way, with 150 feet of ascent on the morning trip. (If there are any locals: I live in Malden, MA near the Malden Center T station and commute to the Financial District in Boston). The roads are not the best where I live, with quite a lot of potholes. I'm about 5'5" and weights 140 lbs. My stand over height is about 30". I usually carry 10 to 15 lbs, and would like to put my luggage in some rear panniers. I would also want to put on some fenders. My budget is $600 - $1200. The bike would be stored indoor both at home and at work; theft (hopefully!) should not be a problem.
I rode a bike a lot when I was a kid, but hasn't rode one for the last 15 years; I'm also totally new to road riding. I plan to learn how to service my bike in the future, and am currently undecided on whether to buy from a LBS or online.
Some ideas I have from reading the forum:
Janis Satellite: There's a 51 cm the EMS can ship to a local store. But I'm not sure if this can fit a pannier, or if it's too "roady" for some of the punishing roads I have around here.
Janis Aurora.
Anything else?
Big thanks for any suggestions!

Kiwanis Team Improves Times During Eastern Divisionals At Glasgow Pool
July 31, 2013 | Volume 100 No. 31
Jessica Pehlke / For The Courier
Glasgow boasts four high-point swimmers from the Eastern Divisional swim meet here last Saturday and Sunday. Pictured with their trophies are, from left, Khloe Krumwiede, Trevor Johnson, Dalton Sand and Katie Kaiser.
The Glasgow Kiwanis Swim Team, hosting the Eastern Divisionals last weekend for the first time since 2007, qualified 32 individual swimmers and 12 relay teams for the state meet.
Four Glasgow swimmers were high point winners, quite a feat for one team. They were Khloe Krumwiede, Katie Kaiser, Trevor Johnson and Dalton Sand.
"So many kids made big drops in time," said co-coach Alex Leuchars.
Khloe won three events in her 13-14 age group, shaving her best time in the 50-meter freestyle, chopping off 5.73 seconds in the 200-meter individual medley and splashing 1.75 seconds faster in the 100-meter freestyle, setting a new pool record.
Katie was first among girls 11-12 in the 50-meter freestyle and the 50-meter backstroke, and second in 50-meter butterfly. She improved on her seed times in both freestyle and butterfly.
Trevor, swimming in age 9-10, bettered his time in his three wins, the 100-meter individual medley, the 50-meter backstroke and the 50-meter butterfly.
In boys 8 and under, Dalton took first in the 100-meter individual medley, the 50-meter freestyle and the 25-meter butterfly, improving his times in every event.

Khloe Krumwiede gives a high-five to the Sidney swimmer she beat in the 200-meter individual medley. Cara Goeke placed fourth in this race.
The team scores were very close, Leuchars said. Glasgow came in fourth in the meet, just six points behind third place. They did make the hoped-for AA division for state competition this weekend in Sidney.
Dozens of volunteers, organized by Scott Billingsley, made the meet run smoothly. They were timers, starters, stroke judges, heat bench wranglers, scorekeepers, concession cooks, computer operators and clean-up after the 800 people packed their tents and went home. Someone had to hang the touch plates at the end of the lanes and wire the timing devices together with the computers. Someone hauled starting blocks and wooden heat benches onto the deck. Someone strung blue shade tarps into place and floated Kimball Goeke's new catwalk over the deep diving pool.
A big athletic event brings a lot to this community, but it takes a lot from the community to bring the event here.

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to investigate Cordell mayor
CORDELL — Criminal investigators are looking into the financial doings of Cordell Mayor Alex Damon, The Oklahoman learned Monday.
District Attorney Dennis Smith, who oversees Washita County, said he asked the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation last week to look into accusations that Damon pocketed hundreds of thousands of dollars in public funds during his tenure as mayor and manager of the utilities board in Cordell.
A state audit released in January accused Damon of collecting more than $260,000 in salary above and beyond what was authorized by city ordinance, of collecting double and sometimes triple reimbursement for travel and fuel expenses, and of collecting travel reimbursements while touring with his musical ensemble, the Damon Jackson Band.
Damon told The Oklahoman that he was surprised by the accusations and he would continue working both positions free of compensation.
"I believe all of the situation will be answered; that would be an optimistic approach," Damon said Monday.
Damon was first elected mayor of Cordell in 2004 and lost a bid to replace Ryan McMullen as Oklahoma House District 55 representative in 2009.
Cordell is about 100 miles west of Oklahoma City.
The audit, which was requested by the Cordell City Council, revealed Damon collected as much as $30,500 between 2007 and 2012 by working as acting city manager in addition to collecting his mayoral salary.
He also received as much as $230,000 in his capacity as general manager of the city's utilities trust during the same time.
State law prohibits an elected official from collecting a salary from a government position beyond the scope of his elected duties.
Smith said he hoped the investigation could be completed within the next 30 to 60 days.

Question from read12345
How do I use the slave collar?
I'm at the part where I have to enslave red at bigtown but I don't know how to use the collar or put it on the people?
6 years ago
Accepted Answer
what you have to do is to use the Mesmetron on her (or any other enslaveable person) and go up to talk to them, there should be an option saying "here i got a necklace for you" or something similar like that to fool them into put on the collar, you can also tell them to 'empty their pockets' to give you all of the items they have on them like caps, guns, ammo, etc.
6 years ago
You have to interact (like talk to them) with them and there should be an option to give them the collar to put it on you have to hit them with the mesmatron (spelling?) first aswell
6 years ago
Be sure to save your game BEFORE using the mesmatron, sometimes their heads will explode, if this happens, just load up the game and try again.
6 years ago
Use the mesmetron on them, then with a lil' bit of luck just talk and there should be a dialog option
If you don't have luck, just reload(Slaves are best WITH heads attached ya know?)

MUKILTEO, Wash. (AP) — Some ancient Indian stone and bone tools were found under the site for a possible new ferry terminal at Mukilteo, but there's no evidence of human burials.
A representative for the Tulalip Tribes, Daryl Williams, says it would not object to a terminal built on fill dirt over artifacts, but if remains are found the ferry project would have to be redesigned.
The state was forced to abandon a pontoon construction site in Port Angeles in 2004 after the remains of ancient Indians were unearthed.
The Daily Herald reports (http://is.gd/QaBNfz ) the state ferry system is looking at four options for replacing the 60-year-old Mukilteo terminal. Prices range from $60 to $165 million for rebuilding the existing dock to building a new terminal.
The ferry system plans to decide in May.

St. Norbert College
St. Norbert College is a higher education success story. Over the past decade, the college has
generated significant gains in virtually every metric — enrollment, endowment value,
fundraising outcomes, balance sheet, and multiple national rankings. The college has
successfully completed an ambitious comprehensive campaign, has completely renovated both
a science facility and a student center, has almost doubled its annual budget, has increased
diversity across its community, and has enhanced its relationships with its host community.
Perhaps most importantly, the college has accomplished all of these things while both
augmenting its academic program — particularly by housing a new Medical College of Wisconsin
campus on the St. Norbert campus — and keeping its discount rate laudably low.
To build on this momentum and to lead the college to even greater levels of success, St.
Norbert seeks a president, only the eighth in its 118-year history.
St. Norbert College is the only institution in the world to combine the liberal arts, Catholic, and
Norbertine traditions. At its center is the Norbertine concept of communio, which is a profound,
deeply held commitment to one another. The college also emphasizes Vatican II values of
collegiality (working together as equals) and solidarity (being one with others). Located on the
banks of the Fox River just a few miles from historic Green Bay, Wisconsin, St. Norbert is a
classic institution in the liberal arts tradition with selected, outstanding professional programs.
With 136 full-time faculty members teaching 2,100 students in a residential environment, St.
Norbert has a long and successful history and bold aspirations for its future.
Critical to attaining these aspirations is a president who will personify the institution and will
advocate its cause to internal and external constituencies. To this end, he or she will be a
Catholic who will both support and participate in the college's Catholic, Norbertine, and liberal
arts traditions. The president will be an exceptional communicator and fundraiser with the
experience and skill as a leader of an academic enterprise necessary to envision great things for
the college and to turn those visions into reality. The president will also possess an earned
terminal degree and the significant intelligence, intellectual curiosity, and scholarly mien
necessary to command the respect of the campus and external communities.
St. Norbert College has much left to do, and its next president will have the opportunity to
make a significant and lasting impact on this institution on the move. For more information on
this opportunity, including a full Leadership Profile, please visit www.wittkieffer.com.
Inquiries, nominations, and applications are invited. For fullest consideration, applicant
materials should be received by September 2, 2016. Candidates should provide a curriculum
vitae, a letter of application that addresses the responsibilities and requirements described in
the leadership profile, and the names and contact information of five references. Candidate
confidentiality will be respected and references will not be contacted without prior knowledge
and approval of candidates. Inquiries and application materials should be sent via email to the
college's consultants, Dennis M. Barden and Elizabeth K. Bohan of Witt/Kieffer, at
firstname.lastname@example.com. Questions may also be directed to the consultants
through the office of Laurie Adams at 630-575- 6152.
St. Norbert College values diversity and is committed to equal opportunity for all persons regardless of
age, color, disability, ethnicity, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
veteran status or any other status protected by law.

Pacific Northwest
RealNetworks won an appeals-court ruling that it didn't infringe a Massachusetts company's patents for downloading data to personal computers.
The ruling Tuesday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., ends a more than seven-year battle fought by the Seattle company, owner of the Rhapsody online-music service.
The appeals court, without issuing an opinion, upheld a jury finding that RealNetworks didn't infringe two patents owned by closely held Ethos Technologies and that some of the elements of the patents were invalid.

Janicki Energy
Wood-pellet mill for Skagit Valley
Janicki Energy announced plans to build a wood-pellet mill in Hamilton in the Skagit Valley, starting with seven full-time employees and providing up to 25 jobs later.
The plant will use raw waste materials such as sawdust, bark and logging slash, squeezing the wood debris through a "spaghetti-making" machine then chopping the strands into 1-inch lengths.
The new enterprise is an offshoot of two Sedro-Woolley-based family businesses: Janicki Logging & Construction, and Janicki Industries, which manufactures advanced composite molds for boat and airplane builders.
Janicki Energy said it has long-term contracts to sell the industrial-grade pellets, which are used in home heating and commercial power plants worldwide.
Nation / World
Earnings forecast revised upward
Hewlett-Packard's turnaround efforts are paying off as the computer and printer maker said it is poised to bulldoze its earlier quarterly earnings targets and rake in an extra $1 billion in sales.
The raised outlook sent shares up 2.8 percent Tuesday and underscored HP's market gains against Dell and others.
Some analysts think HP, which has been working to streamline its businesses under the regime of CEO Mark Hurd, has yet to reach its peak.
HP is to report earnings May 18.
Its stock rose $1.21 to $45.01.
Walt Disney Co.
Net income rose 27% in quarter
Net income at The Walt Disney Co. increased 27 percent in the second quarter, boosted by strong results from its film studio, advertising sales at ESPN and international sales of its TV shows, including "Desperate Housewives."
The media conglomerate said Tuesday its net income for the quarter ended March 31 was $931 million, or 44 cents per share, compared with $733 million, or 37 cents per share, in the same period a year ago. Revenue grew slightly to $8.07 billion from $8.03 billion in the same period last year.
The company's per-share earnings easily beat estimates of 38 cents per share from analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial, although its revenue missed analyst expectations of $8.13 billion.
The company reported profit growth at all segments, including theme parks and consumer products.
Shares of Disney gained 49 cents to $36.55 on Tuesday.
Cisco Systems
Upgrades help boost profit 34%
Cisco Systems' third-quarter profit surged 34 percent as widespread networking upgrades continued to fuel the company's robust growth.
Net income for the three months ended April 28 was $1.87 billion, or 30 cents per share, compared with $1.4 billion during the same period last year.
Excluding one-time charges, San Jose-based Cisco earned 34 cents a share, a penny higher than analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial were expecting.
Cisco, the world's largest networking equipment maker, rang up $8.87 in billion in sales during the quarter, higher than the $8.76 billion analysts were anticipating.
Cisco shares advanced 55 cents on Tuesday to $28.36.
Thomson / Reuters
Reuters CEO would lead joint company
Canadian publisher Thomson said Tuesday that Reuters CEO Tom Glocer would lead the combined company if Thomson succeeds in its $17.5 billion bid for Reuters to create the world's biggest financial news and information provider.
A combined Thomson-Reuters — the name proposed by Thomson — would have a market capitalization of around $45 billion, or a third of the global market, leapfrogging current market leader Bloomberg in providing real-time data to traders and investment professionals.
The companies outlined details of the proposed deal Tuesday, revealing that several issues had already been agreed upon even while stressing that nothing is final and there was no certainty a deal would proceed.
Analysts were optimistic, saying the proposed offer of $7.03 per Reuters share in cash and 0.16 Thomson shares for each Reuters share was likely to go ahead without any major roadblocks.
The companies said in the joint statement the new company would retain its primary market listings in Toronto and London, but would be controlled by the Thomson family, which currently owns roughly 70 percent of the equity in Thomson Corp.
Former chairman wins partial victory
Former New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) chairman Richard Grasso has won a partial victory in his legal fight to hold on to his $187.5 million compensation package.
The New York Appellate Division in Manhattan threw out four rulings against Grasso on Tuesday that a lower court had made last year.
The high court has not yet addressed other issues at the heart of the dispute. They include whether Grasso is entitled to a jury trial, and whether he can be ordered to pay back the disputed money without any trial, as the lower court judge ordered.
Another issue is whether the lower-court judge, Charles Ramos, should recuse himself because Grasso contends Ramos had tried years ago to become an NYSE board member.

hey guys, well im planing to upgrade my pedals, currently im using VP BMX flats that came with the bike, i use indoor trainers pretty much 90% of the time im on the bike so they do stick pretty well, just have this tendincy to slip still in slight moist conditions, oviously every pedals gona slip to some degree once it gets wet right?
well i was hopping to upgrade to some DMR v12's, if anyone has any experince with it, how much more 'grip' could i expect if its possible to decribe,
few questions on the actual pedals though, since its my first one with replacable pins on it, if they do for whatever reason fall out, or break/grind somehow, (speaking as 'what if') can i purchase some more?
second, is there any diffrence between the v12 and the v12 magnesium besides the weight diffrence? (and the price)
and lastly, do they have a homepage? i've been searching the web for over a week and cant find anything, oh, and do they have any dealers in canada? cause everything seems to be from the uk and it ends up costing about $112 cnd.
thanks for the help

Remember the trivia section on Bulbapedia? There are quite a few references that are not included because few viewers know about them. Let's start filling some of those in. The reference must not be obscure because it is not in the translations like with "
Do Coil Dream of Electric Mice!?"
from the original anime
Here's the start of the list: Grimer is an allusion to the Four Big Pollution Diseases of Japan. This is most obvious for the Hoenn Region, where Grimer's origins match up with how Minamata disease started.
