A few comments are buried in the lastest Soundoff thread on this pretty cool video related to the win over OSU. Definately worth a look if you missed it on tonight show:

Wow! Chills.
The resolution of the video on the whotv.com site isn't the greatest, but they also posted it to their YouTube channel where you can watch it in 720p or 1080p HD:

Awesome video
Probably the highlight of last night.
I literally teared up watching this. But I'm going to blame it on allergies.
wow...just wow. Through the good times and the bad times I will always be proud to be a Cyclone fan
Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
A thing of beauty right there. I got more chills out of that one than any of the others. Well done IceBorg!
Okay, I've literally watched this 100 times this morning. I tear up every time. **** blaming it on allergies, I love this school, I love this team and I love this coach.

Vancouver will join more than 150 cities in concerted marches Monday across the nation to raise awareness about child abuse and how to help prevent and stop it.
The local rendition of the Million March Against Child Abuse is 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday at downtown Vancouver's Esther Short Park, 610 Esther St., the centerpiece of downtown.
The event, part of an observation of National Child Abuse Prevention Month, will include a march around the park. Mayor Tim Leavitt will speak and host a pinwheel-planting ceremony from noon to 1 p.m. across the street at City Hall, 415 W. 6th St.
Local bands and musicians, including former American Idol contestant Britnee Kellogg of Vancouver, will perform throughout the day at the park.
An estimated 3 million child abuse cases are reported each year, according to Children Without A Voice, and as many as 6 million may go unreported.
For local event details, visit http://facebook.com/MMACAVancouverWA or firstname.lastname@example.com.

This golf course lies at the foot of an old volcano and has breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. This 18-hole course, which was designed by British landscape architect John Harris, was built in 1978. This is a fantastic course, not only because of its design but also thanks to the excellent condition in which it is kept all year round.
The course runs along the side of an old volcano, set within an inspirational landscape of volcanic lava, cacti and palm trees. This is nature at its best, where man cares for his natural habitat just as Cesar Manrique taught the people of Lanzarote.
The course is designed to be both smooth and varied. Its numerous doglegs stimulate players and require them to bring all their clubs into play. It even represents a challenge for professional players, whilst offering an attractive and enjoyable game for those of more modest skills. The fairways are surrounded by over 3,000 palm trees and there are breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Villa Kaleon was a lovely place to stay and had all the things you need. The villa was cleaned twice a week to a good standard. The Villa is a short walk to the main strip and a car really isn't required. The Villa had good privacy and a sun all day if you want it. The pool was small but well maintained and a warm temperature from the pool heating was very welcome. Overall Villa Kaleon is a great place to stay, in a lovely resort and I would thoroughly recommend it. We had a great holiday with Villa Plus.
Julie Armitt, 22-Jun-2014
Villa was in a quiet area close to local shops and bars. Facilities at the villa were very good, we had everything we needed. Very spacious and lovely pool and patio area.
Lynda Roberts, 01-Jun-2014
A thoroughly relaxing, injoyable holiday. Villa was lovely, clean and tidy and very spacious. Having two bathrooms/toilets was a bonus with 6 adults staying. I would definitely consider another Villa Plus holiday and happily recommend to others.

The National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) is a ten-level system (1–10) giving an academic or vocational value to qualifications obtained in Ireland. NFQ levels help indicate how an award can be used for training, education and employment opportunities (see fan diagram). Each level is based on nationally agreed standards of what a learner is expected to know and be able to do after receiving an award.
QQI is Ireland's guardian of the NFQ system. They are responsible for the quality assurance of providers of education and training. They also have responsibility for the validation of qualifications and also make some awards themselves.
NFQ serves several purposes.
- It ensures awards obtained in Ireland are quality-assured and recognised internationally
- It is part of a system for comparing Irish and international awards
- It supports lifelong learning by recognising knowledge and skills within a comparative framework even if they are not recognised by a formal award
- It provides a system of establishing eligibility in learning processes for access, transfer and progression
- It recognises awards made by professional bodies
NFQ is linked to similar frameworks in Europe. This helps people considering employment or study opportunities outside Ireland.
There are two qualifications frameworks at European level:

At the University of South Carolina Beaufort, we believe in the talent, potential, and goals of our students. One of the ways we do this is through a robust scholarship program involving academic, merit, and state scholarships. Last year, USCB awarded nearly $17.5 million in scholarships and financial aid, helping students like you access the financial assistance and resources necessary to discover a powerful future.
The USCB Scholarship Program
Institutional Scholarships
All students newly admitted to the University of South Carolina Beaufort, who meet the criteria below, will be considered for merit based scholarships. Funds are limited and recipients will be considered on a first come, first served basis.
All newly accepted students are considered for the scholarship for which they might qualify. No additional application or materials are required unless otherwise specified.
USCB Palmetto Fellow - Plus: $3,000.00 per year, for up to four years.
- First Time Freshmen students enrolled at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, who are Palmetto Fellow Scholarship eligible at the time of their admittance, will be considered for the USCB Palmetto – Plus scholarship.
USCB Life - Plus: $2,000.00 per year, for up to four years.
- First Time Freshmen students enrolled at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, who are Life Scholarship eligible at the time of their admittance, will be considered for the USCB Life – Plus scholarship.
In-State Transfer Scholarship: $1,000.00 per year, for up to three years (or upon receiving eligibility to obtain the first bachelor's degree, whichever comes first).
- Transfer students (30 credit hours needed to qualify) who are South Carolina residents and are enrolled at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, with a transfer GPA of 3.0 or above, will be considered for the In-State Transfer scholarship.
Residential Scholarship – Out of State Tuition waiver (Currently $10,500.00 per year)
Freshmen Criteria

- Academic GPA of 3.0 or higher
Transfer Criteria

Phone: 843-208-8128 / Fax: 843-208-8290 / Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Academic Program Scholarships
If you are interested in computational science, studio art, or hospitality management, USCB has academic scholarships reserved for students entering these majors.
State Scholarship Programs
Each year, more than 400 state scholarship winners—who have been awarded more than $1.8 million—choose USCB. These scholarships are awards designed to remove financial barriers that many talented, motivated students like you face while considering attending college.
Athletic Scholarships
Student-athletes interested in receiving an athletic scholarship should contact the head coach of their particular sport. Limited athletic aid is offered prior to university acceptance, however, offers occasionally are contingent upon acceptance. The requirements and value of athletic scholarships vary from sport to sport and are dependent on a number of factors, but they are awarded based strictly on athletic merit. For more information, please contact Athletic Director Quinn Monahan at (843) 208-8070 and visit Sand Shark Athletics.
Applying for scholarships at USCB is an easy two-step process.

Best Uses
It sets up really fast. The only tricky part is getting the zipper started "just right". But once you've got it, it's a breeze.
The fans are a little loud, but they warn you about that in the product description, and it's to be expected with an inflatable. And it's not really an issue with a rock band playing.

Though it is a common thought that, workplace health and safety is a separate department and when people need to make their workplace, office or industrial working area safe for the workers they need to hire WHS professionals.
It is true that WHS and OHS professionals in Australia, are well trained and are expert in defining the different ways that are helpful in improving a workplace environment and to improve the productivity level in a safe way. But it is also true that when the workers as well as the managers or employers have a know how, regarding what is good and what is bad for the workers, the problems are significantly reduced and it could be helpful for the WHS professionals to implement the health and safety plans if everyone is aware of the best options and the importance of the plan with reference to everyone's safety. Professional having HSR training can help make the workplace a better place for all of the workers and managing professionals. It is necessary to obtain sufficient information regarding all the health risks and possible solution for any workplace. And despite the fact if an OHS professional is there to monitor all activities to reduce hazardous conditions, workers and organizers also need to get involved and know what they should be doing, in order to make things better and safer for all individuals.
Most of the important information that is included in or is provided during the asbestos awareness course and manual handling course. In these modules people can learn to manage the asbestos exposure and can help others to avoid such hazards in an easy and safe way. WHS training, including Manual Handling Training prepares the workers and others to manually tackle all obstacles and keeps the work going on without any risks to the workers as well as the surroundings.
All such training and basic skills can be helpful and more fruitful, if all the people working in a single workplace are aware of the basic rules and tactics. In this way, the employers and organizers can help their workers work better and stay safe by knowing their safety rights and implementing safety measure without any issues.

The Counter Rhythm Group gives away free local tunes in honor of Cincy's SXSW takeover
Tomorrow the music portion of the huge, annual South By Southwest festival in Austin, Tex., kicks off and, as we told you before, Cincinnati music is very well represented this year. Local promotional/licensing organization The All Night Party presents its first ever showcase at SXSW tomorrow at Soho Lounge, featuring performances by Cincy area bands Wussy, The Lions Rampant, The Seedy Seeds and The Sundresses, along with pals Oh My Me (from Lexington) and The Whiskey Daredevils (Cleveland). The Counter Rhythm Group — which has also been assisting local artists with creative promotional opportunities — is helping out with the showcase (and corresponding Midwest by Southwest tour) and, kind folks that they are, the company is offering a free compilation download featuring several of the artists with whom they are working. Click here, hit "Free Download" and enter your email address to get an instant link to the digital files, which include excellent tracks from some of the area's finest, including State Song, Shiny and the Spoon, Ampline, Mad Anthony, The Pinstripes, Alone at 3AM and The Tillers, plus SXSWers R. Ring (one of their first publicly available tracks), Wussy, Ohio Knife and The Sundresses. Pass the link around to show off your city's stellar music scene to all of your out-of-town pals (especially any living in Austin, so they can get out and show some support).

Greater Cincinnati's South By Southwest Takeover
Mike Breen
0 Comments · Wednesday, March 7, 2012
If you were to use Cincinnati's representation at this year's South By Southwest festival as an indicator of the health of our local music scene at the moment, then Cincinnati music circa 2012 is in top physical condition. Never has Cincinnati had such a presence at America's premier fan/industry showcase.

Cincinnati Music's Unprecedented SXSW Invasion
Oodles of Greater Cincinnati musicians and businesses prepare to mess with Texas
I attended my first South By Southwest festival in Austin, Tex., over 15 years ago to cover local Funk group SHAG's appearance at the festival for a much younger CityBeat. It seemed exciting back then that one of Cincinnati's biggest bands was invited to showcase at SXSW. This year, the amount of acts from the area performing is unprecedented — never has Cincinnati had such a presence at America's premier music fan/industry showcase and conference (which starts a week from today). And it's not just performers. Representatives from local promo company The Counter Rhythm Group will be on hand in force, venture development group CincyTech is hosting regular chats as well as a Cincinnati hospitality headquarters and party in Austin and the progressive promotional/licensing machine The All Night Party is sponsoring both a tour centered around the Texas festival and its own showcase night at the event, a first for a local organization. And, as we have most SXSWs over the past 17 years, CityBeat will have a reporter on the scene providing regular updates for this here blog. Be sure to check back often starting next week and see how are hometown heroes are doing. Here's an overview of just some of the Cincy-centric happenings related to SXSW 2012:• The All Night Party presents the Midwest by Southwest tour (also sponsored by this summer's Bunbury Music Festival and assisted by Counter Rhythm and Reveal Concepts) featuring, as the tagline reads, "Four Midwestern Bands — On A Mission to Rock." The tour has Cincinnati bands The Sundresses (repeat visitors to SXSW) and Wussy, as well as Cleveland rockers The Whiskey Daredevils and Lexington's Oh My Me. The jaunt begins Thursday at Mount Lookout's The Redmoor. (Doors open at 6 p.m., showtime is 8 p.m. and tickets are $10.) MWXSW will hit several other cities before and after the ANP SXSW showcase Tuesday at the Soho Lounge. The Lions Rampant will appear on the bill in Austin, as well. If you'd like to help the caravan out, there is a Kickstarter campaign with some cool perks you can check out here. (Quick, only three days left!) Here's the promo vid:• R. Ring, the acoustic duo featuring local musician/engineer Mike Montgomery (thistle, Ampline) and Dayton, Ohio's Kelley Deal (Breeders), will perform at a showcase hosted by the Misra label on March 15. Misra is releasing the twosome's first single in a few months, with a full-length to follow. • Ohio Knife, a new duo project from The Chocolate Horse's Jason Snell, Andrew Higley and Joe Suer, is also headed to Austin and the local branch of branding agency Landor is tagging along. The company is hosting a travelogue website here so you can follow along at home. Ohio Knife plays a tour kickoff show Friday at The Comet in Northside. The band will hit other clubs in Tennessee and Texas along its way to SXSW. • Local Indie Pop faves Pomegranates are now labelmates (on the Modern Outsider imprint) with fellow Cincy band Bad Veins. While the Veins won't be performing in Texas (they're preparing their own tour launch March 19 in Colorado), the Poms will play the official Modern Outsider SXSW showcase on March 14 at Trinity Hall. • Indie/Folk/Electro/Pop powerhouse The Seedy Seeds took part in a SXSW launch party a couple of weeks ago. The band performs at the All Night Party showcase Tuesday.• Eccentric breakout rockers Foxy Shazam are one of the headliners of a showcase presented by the huge booking company The Agency Group on March 15 at Latitude 30; the day before they'll play an afternoon party. • Cincy RCA Records recording artists Walk the Moon aren't technically "showcasing" for SXSW, but they will be in Austin for the MTVu Woodie Awards ceremony and festival held in during SXSW, where they'll be performing and hoping to score the Breaking Woodie award they're competing for against acts like tUnE-YarDs and Lana Del Rey. Vote for the hometown boys here, where you can also watch a live stream from the March 15 festival.

The Seedy Seeds' SXSW Send-Off
Indie trio, promo group and tech company host happy-hour event today at Mainstay
Greater Cincinnati has an exceptionally large contingency headed to Austin, Tex., in a few weeks for the big music industry showcase/conference South By Southwest. As in the past, CityBeat will have troops on the ground covering everything Cincinnati at SXSW, with regular dispatches and more. But before any vans/RVs/tourbusses leave the driveway and start heading south, there are a few send-off events involving our local SXSW reps, beginning this evening with a special happy-hour party featuring music by The Seedy Seeds. The fun starts at 5:30 p.m. at downtown's Mainstay and runs until 8 p.m. (Hang around afterwards to catch two of Cincinnati's more eclectic DJs, DJ Empirical and KFrey, at 10 p.m., as they spin for the club's Turntable Thursday night). There is a $10 cover/donation for the SxCincy gathering.The Seedy Seeds are, unsurprisingly, playing the festival again this year, but today's happy-hour event will help introduce many locals to another entity heading to SXSW. The sponsors of the happy hour, technology-focused "venture development organization" CincyTech, will be in Texas and helping out fellow Cincinnatians by securing space in downtown Austin they've dubbed @SxCincy Haus, designed "for members of the Cincinnati community to recharge themselves and their devices" and "hang out, get some work done or just rest up." CincyTech is also hosting chats each day at 4 p.m., featuring different topics and guests from Cincinnati. The tech company is also presenting a party at SXSW with Cincinnati beer and chili, plus "the opportunity to mingle with Cincy's consumer branding and marketing experts." CincyTech representatives will be on hand at Mainstay tonight to explain everything. The All Night Party licensing/promo group is co-sponsoring today's happy hour and also going to Austin, hosting its first-ever showcase at SXSW. More details to come. ANP, CincyTech and The Seedy Seeds are just three local groups (musical or otherwise) heading to the festival. Stay tuned to our blogs for updates and news on who's going and other "bon voyage" parties/benefits in Greater Cincinnati leading up to their departure. The Seedy Seeds unveiled another excellent music video earlier this month. Check out the playfully animated clip for "Telephone the Constrictor":

With 12 studio albums, more than a dozen EPs and a discographer's wet dream's worth of 7-inch releases to their credit (in total accounting for close to 4 million units sold) since their Los Angeles formation an astonishing 27 years ago, NOFX is clearly one of the most successful and one of the most outrageous Indie Punk bands of all time. Just ask Fat Mike.

R.I.P. Alex Chilton, Hello CD Sales and No Hip Hop in Texas

Having legendary singer/songwriter Alex Chilton die during the weekend of Austin's massive music showcase/conference South By Southwest is kind of like if Stan Lee died on the first day of Comic-Con. You'd be hard pressed to find an event where Chilton would be more understood, appreciated and instantly missed.

John Hiatt has been pursuing his Roots Rock direction for so long now it's sometimes difficult to remember that he started off in a Folk/Pop vein in the early '70s, which morphed into a tough/tender New Wave angle later in the decade and into the '80s. But like any decent gunslinger, Hiatt never forgets how many bullets he has left, and his chambers are packed full on 'The Open Road,' the 19th studio album of his long and storied career.

A long-distance-relationship band with local ties will become not-so-long-distance this weekend as they team up for a few CD release events in the area. The trio is called Honneycombs and features local singer/songwriter April Combs, her L.A.-based brother James Combs and locally-based harmony singer Laurie Burnham.

Dec 8 2009That's Not Art!: Creepy Singing Android Heads
This is a piece of "art" by a really sucky artist that I can't even believe even has the gall to CONSIDER themselves an artist. The piece is for sale at the Art Basel gallery in Miami Beach. The asking price? $75,000. I'd rather eat shit!
The heads are connected to servos behind the mold of the artist's face that are controlled by a computer. The movements and sound are on a 15 minute loop and both sing together and uncomfortably look around the room individually. VEEEERY CREEEPY.
Very creepy is right! Also, I'm still pissed this is considered art. I mean, come on now. I'm so frustrated right now I could song a few bars myself. LA LA LA LA LA LA LA. Just like angels, I know.
Thanks to Spikey DaPikey, naas, Grillonic, Michael and Cpt. Awesome, who are gonna pool their money to
buy the piece and burn it name a star after me.

$75,000 dollars......It's a wonder that "artists" can even survive in reality. REAL artists become graphic designers.....
Did anyone else here play They Hunger?
Talking heads was an 80s band....... just sayin
Art is defined by intent. Whether it's good or not is held up to each individual. I just think this is creepy....and sad that it's considered art....
what a loser. the pirates of the caribbean ride did it better over 50 years ago.
I couldn't tell what the hell they were doing over all the hooting and hollaring from the TV viewers. But it did sound like they were singing in chipmunk voices or something.
Probably more white trash hillbilly engineering. The douche who made them couldn't be bothered to tell the a$$hole roomates to f*cking turn off their TV so he could demonstrate the heads. Or was too dumb to set them up in his own room away from distractions.
Reminds me of the batman Go-Kart with the plans for sale on Ebay. The guy put all that work into creating it, and then posted a douchey video of him having to get out and push the kart around. Yeah like anyone will be interested in that.
Good luck with your chipmunk singing, not loud enough to hear over the TV talking heads. And good luck redneck engineers everywhere!
Other than that, creepy heads, kinda cool, but crappy execution/demonstration...

Shooting notes for 24/28/35/50/70/85/120 comparisons
Focus was on the two pink flowers near center. The Nikon D3x with mirror lockup and a remote release was used at ISO 100, in 14-bit lossless NEF. Light was steady with no variance.
Images for sharpness comparisons converted to 16-bit TIF using Adobe Camera RAW with sharpening set to extract maximum details using sharpening parameters for deconvolution (see Making Sharp Images). Noise reduction off, lens corrections off.
Avanced sharpening makes an inferior lens look better than it is; although sharpening is applied equally to all images, the worst quality lens benefits the most in a perceptual way.
The variance in overall lens brightness, as well as vignetting and distortion made perfect matches in framing impossible. I used the as-marked focal lengths on each lens. Although the scene appears slightly tilted (corrected for the distortion comparisons), this is the best that can be done with either a bubble level or visually or with the D3x virtual horizon feature; all within 0.5° of level, and none more accurate than that.

Heavy-breathing, gas-guzzling motors are no longer required to achieve respectable high-performance. Ford's 2015 V6 Mustang is a testament to that fact. We lay out how to keep up, or even show up, bigger V8s with modifications that are sure to squeeze more power out of your ride!
At the Convention Center in Las Vegas, Ford stunned the crowd at the SEMA show with a 2015 Mustang King Cobra, built to perform and impress on the street as well as on the drag strip. Ford's purpose of this King Cobra was to create more than a showstopper that very few people would ever get a chance to drive or own. Instead, Ford built the Mustang with performance parts that can be bought and installed on a regular Mustang GT to duplicate not just the look, but also the performance of the King Cobra.
If you have a Mustang enthusiast in your life, this time of year can be a challenge...what do you get him or her for Christmas? There are tons of options from many of our most popular vendors, but CJ Pony Parts has narrowed this list down to give you some great ideas and deals on some of our best Mustang parts, each of which would make great gifts.
Over the years, I have owned over 40 different Mustangs, from classics to Cobras to SVOs and pretty much everything in between. When I had the privilege of attending the debut of the 2015 Mustang last December in Dearborn, I knew right then and there what the next Mustang in my garage was going to be.
Today, Ford unveiled the track-ready 2015 Shelby GT350, which includes an all-new flat plane 5.2L V8 engine, along with hundreds of other enhancements. Oh, and it looks amazing, too.
Many of us forget that poor driving etiquette can come back to haunt us. In this video, we explore some of the worst road etiquette and the tickets that can result.

Discrete Hedging Under Piecewise Linear Risk Management
Permanent Linkhttp://hdl.handle.net/1813/5444
MetadataShow full item record
Coleman, Thomas F.; Li, Yuying; Patron, Maria-Cristina
In an incomplete market it is usually impossible to eliminate the intrinsic risk of an option. In this case quadratic risk-minimization is often used to determine a hedging strategy. However, it may be more natural to use piecewise linear risk-minimization since in this case the risk is measured in actual dollars (not dollars squared). We investigate hedging strategies using piecewise linear risk-minimization. We illustrate that piecewise linear risk-minimization often leads to smaller expected total hedging cost and significantly different, possibly more desirable, hedging strategies from those of quadratic risk minimization. The distributions of the total hedging cost and risk show that hedging strategies obtained by piecewise linear risk-minimization have a larger probability of small cost and risk, though they also have a very small probability of larger cost and risk. Comparative numerical results are provided.

The US Supreme Court took up an emotionally wrenching case in which a couple was ordered to turn over the two-year-old girl they had raised since birth to her biological father because he is a Native American.
This is the first time in 14 years and the second time ever that the nation's top court is ruling on the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, which was intended to prevent Native American children from being separated from their families. A decision is expected in late June before the court ends it session.
Matt and Melanie Capobianco are appealing a 2011 family court decision that annulled their adoption and transferred custody to Dusten Brown after DNA tests proved his paternity.
That decision was upheld in July, when the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled with a "heavy heart" in favor of the biological father, a decision the dissenting justices described as a "human tragedy."
Brown had renounced his parental rights during the pregnancy, but changed his mind after the adoption. The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that the Indian Child Welfare Act superseded state law that had approved the adoption.
But the adoptive parents, who are supported by the biological mother, protested in their appeal to the US Supreme Court that the ICWA does not apply in 11 other US states where Native American tribes are located, and the judgement would have been different if the adoption took place elsewhere.
The couple's lawyer Lisa Blatt called the situation "absurd" and "Kafkaesque" in arguments Tuesday before the US Supreme Court.
If the nine-judge court upholds the South Carolina decision in favor of the biological father, Blatt argued, it will in essence ban cross-racial adoption of Native American children.
Blatt said the court would be "relegating adopted parents to the back of the bus. And you're basically relegating the child to a piece of property with a sign that says, 'Indian, keep off. Do not disturb.'"
But the biological father got a boost from odd judicial couple formed by conservative judge Antonin Scalia and liberal colleague Sonia Sotomayor.
"He's the father," said Scalia, who has nine children.
"If the father's fit, why do you think that the federal statute requires that it be given to a stranger rather than to the biological father?", said Sotomayor, who has no children.
The Capobiancos had made seven unsuccessful in vitro fertilization attempts before the adoption.
They also financed part of the medical costs for the child's birth mother, met the woman, who was not Native American, attended the September 2009 birth and returned to South Carolina with the girl when she was just eight days old.
Chief Justice John Roberts, who has two adopted children himself, seemed to lean in favor of the adoptive parents.
When Brown's lawyer Charles Rothfeld said his client was excited upon learning he was going to be a father, Roberts said: "He was excited, but there is no doubt he paid nothing during the pregnancy and nothing at the time of the birth, right? To support the child or the mother?
The judge added: "He was excited by it. He just didn't want to take any responsibility."
Now three years old, the child lives with Brown in Oklahoma. Brown, supported by the Cherokee Nation, asserts that "he is a parent under the ICWA," which is "tied to the US' obligations to Indians."
"Domestic relations pose the hardest problems for judges, said Justice Anthony Kennedy, who often provides the swing vote in the bench divided among conservatives and liberals.

12 CFR 370.11 - Enforcement mechanisms.
(a) Termination of Participation. If the FDIC, in its discretion, after consultation with the participating entity's appropriate Federal banking agency, determines that the participating entity should no longer be permitted to continue to participate in the temporary liquidity guarantee program, the FDIC will inform the entity that it will no longer be provided the protections of the temporary liquidity guarantee program.
(1) Termination of participation in the temporary liquidity guarantee program will solely have prospective effect. All previously issued guaranteed debt will continue to be guaranteed as set forth in this part.
(2) The FDIC will work with the participating entity and its appropriate Federal banking agency to assure that the entity notifies its counterparties or creditors that subsequent debt issuances are not covered by the temporary liquidity guarantee program.
(b) Enforcement Actions. Violating any provision of the temporary liquidity guarantee program constitutes a violation of a regulation and may subject the participating entity and its institution-affiliated parties to enforcement actions under Section 8 of the FDI Act (12 U.S.C. 1818), including, for example, assessment of civil money penalties under section 8(i) of the FDI Act (12 U.S.C. 1818(i)), removal and prohibition orders under section 8(e) of the FDI Act (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)), and cease and desist orders under section 8(b) of the FDI Act (12 U.S.C. 1818(b)). The violation of any provision of the program by an insured depository institution also constitutes grounds for terminating the institution's deposit insurance under section 8(a)(2) of the FDI Act (12 U.S.C. 1818(a)(2)). The appropriate Federal banking agency for the participating entity will consult with the FDIC in enforcing the provisions of this part. The appropriate Federal banking agency and the FDIC also have enforcement authority under section 18(a)(4)(C) of the FDI Act (12 U.S.C. 1828(a)(4)(C)) to pursue an enforcement action if a person knowingly misrepresents that any deposit liability, obligation, certificate, or share is insured when it is not in fact insured.

"If Bob wants to go there, fine. I'm not going to go there. I really actually feel that we've had a good relationship with Variety. If I need to, I can call Peter (Bart)." Does one piece of coverage stand out in your mind? "At Cannes, we had amazingly good coverage. We launched 'Lord of the Rings' (there) before we released the picture. … The reporter from Variety was incredibly excited and showed this genuine un-cynical attitude because he was such a big fan of the books. His genuine enthusiasm … communicated the excitement, even for us, of those pictures in a way that we probably couldn't have done."

Myles Jack, a senior linebacker and UCLA commit, is dominating "like nobody I've seen on defense in a long time," according to coach Butch Goncharoff.
Bellevue linebacker and UCLA commit Myles Jack inspires the kind of talk reserved for only the most elite high-school players.
"He's the most dominant football player I've ever coached against," Juanita coach Shaun Tarantola said.
"It's a five-letter word," Eastside Catholic coach Jeremy Thielbahr said. "Freak."
"No offense to (Skyline quarterback) Max Browne, but Jack is the best 'football player' in the state," Interlake coach Jason Rimkus said.

- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple

- Your vote counts so little in Tuesday's primary election, John Oliver joked about it on 'Last Week Tonight'
Most Read Stories
Through eight games, the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Jack has 24 solo tackles and 8.5 sacks, including three against Liberty on Friday. Yet, partly because he rarely plays a full game, understanding Jack's dominance is less numbers than appearance.
In the season opener against Trinity from Euless, Texas, Jack sped around the edge in the final minutes and delivered such a punishing hit, Trinity's quarterback had to leave. His replacement threw an interception on his first play in overtime, giving Bellevue a 31-24 victory.
"He's dominated the game like nobody I've seen on defense in a long time," Bellevue coach Butch Goncharoff said. "Teams are checking to go to the other side and not run on him. Guys have tried everything on him.
"He's a one-man wrecking crew. And then we'll drop him in coverage. He's got the skills to cover a back coming out of the backfield and cover him well."
Bellevue has allowed only 35 points its last seven games. With D-I recruits Sean Constantine and Budda Baker and all-state players Darien Freeman and Michael Carlson, the Wolverines have scored 13 defensive touchdowns.
"But you only notice those other guys if you pay a lot of attention to them," Tarantola said. "The guy you notice every play is Myles Jack. And those other guys are great. You take Myles Jack off the field and you're like, 'This safety is amazing, this inside 'backer is amazing.'
"But this guy is so dominant, he stands out on the field. Even our players were like, 'Oh my God, No. 21.' "
Jack entered the season as a Rivals.com three-star recruit and rated the 26th-best linebacker in the country. The site ranked him as the third-best player in the state behind Browne and Constantine, a linebacker and UW commit.
Scout.com has Jack as a four-start recruit and the nation's 17th-ranked outside linebacker.
"He has easily been the most dominant defensive player in the state, and if he wanted it, he could have his choice of schools," Scout.com's Jake Worthen said.
Jack, who also holds offers from UW, Oregon, South Carolina and Mississippi State, spent much of his junior season at running back. He only played defense for about half the season after a growth spurt between his sophomore and junior years.
"Last year he was a good player, but he was growing into his body," Tarantola said. "Now he's all grown up. If this guy's not the best defensive player in the nation at his level, I want to know who is."

Razor clam digging slated this weekend
LONG BEACH — Razor clam digging will be open Friday through Sunday on the Long Beach Peninsula with some of the best tides of year.
Low tides are -1.8 feet at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, -1.6 feet at 8:01 p.m. on Saturday and -1.0 feet at 8:47 p.m. on Sunday.
"The position of the moon in December always generates favorable tides for digging razor clams," said Dan Ayres, coastal shellfish manager for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. "Unfortunately, the weather isn't always cooperative, so diggers should dress for cold, wet conditions."
Diggers are limited to 15 razor clams per day and are required to keep the first 15 dug. Each digger's clams must be in a separate container.
Twin Harbors, Mocrocks and Copalis will be open in addition to Long Beach on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks and Long Beach will be open.
Long Beach also is expected to be open Dec. 29-31, but final approval will depend on marine toxin tests closer to those dates.
States meet Tuesday to discuss Bonneville pool sturgeon
Washington and Oregon have scheduled a conference call for 10 a.m. Tuesday to discuss sturgeon angling in the Bonneville pool of the Columbia River.
Sturgeon retention is scheduled to resume in January. The states will discuss how to split the harvest between the winter and summer months, plus a potential three-day-a-week fishery or other means to meter out the catch.
With sturgeon retention potentially closed in the lower Columbia, the Bonneville pool may be the closest location to the metropolitan area to have a retention fishery.
Boating safety class scheduled for Saturday
A boating safety class is scheduled beginning at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at the Clark County Public Works Maintenance and Operations Conference Center, 4700 N.E. 78th St, Room B-1.
Offered by Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 78 and the Clark County Marine Patrol, the class costs $10 per person or $20 for a family of three or more.
To register, call 360-256-2991 or 503-799-5250.
The class covers equipment requirements, navigation rules and markers plus other safe boating topics.
Oregon bass club to meet Dec. 20
PORTLAND — The Oregon Bass and Panfish Club will meet at 7 p.m. Dec. 20 at the East Portland Community Center, 740 S.E. 106th Ave.
The session is the club's holiday social to share 2012 outings with photos and stories.
Meadows opens for night skiing
Mount Hood Meadows began night operations on Wednesday, the ski area announced.

HEALDSBURG -- Napa-based Crimson Wine Group, a portfolio of several premium red wine brands owned by a New York investment company with $9.3 billion in assets, has acquired zinfandel-focused Seghesio Vineyards and most of the Seghesio family's 300 acres of vines in Sonoma County's Alexander Valley for an undisclosed sum.
The deal gives Crimson, owned by Leucadia National Corp., a zinfandel brand and almost doubles the production volume of the portfolio.
"Much like the best things in life, it's always serendipitous when you find a great match in business or in your personal endeavors," Chief Executive Officer Pete Seghesio said in a statement. "Crimson Wine Group represented just that, a company and team whose philosophy towards nurturing brands, along with vision, a strong distribution network and access to capital, would allow us to grow to the next level, a level that business on a family scale would have difficulty attaining on its own."

Obama's China Policy Earns Mixed Reviews
Byline: Carolyn Bartholomew, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
I t's New Year's Eve. Around the world, it's a time for taking stock in one's life. In Washington, we've elevated stock-taking to an art form. But here, it's taking stock in politics, policy and other people's lives. Continuing in that spirit, here's a review of where things stand with China policy.
After a year in office, President Obama earns mixed reviews on China. In a few key areas, notably sticking up for American jobs, he has shown remarkably more guts than his three predecessors. In others, particularly advocating for human rights and basic freedoms in China, his spine has been woefully weak.
First, the good news. The Obama administration is using the World Trade Organization for what it is supposed to be - a trade-dispute resolution mechanism. The administration is also enforcing U.S. trade laws. Bravo. By working with the EU, Japan, Mexico and others to take some of China's unfair trade practices to the WTO, the administration is helping American workers and demonstrating adherence to the rule of law. Ditto with U.S. trade law enforcement, with its emphasis on a competitive free market and fair play. Those are wins for America.
Kudos, too, to the administration for standing up to the Chinese government at Copenhagen. China's demand that the U.S. help foot its bill for green technology is a slap in the face to American taxpayers. It's a particular insult to the people across this country who have lost their jobs to China's vast array of unfair trade practices. Given America's innovations in the field, green jobs should be a pillar of U.S. economic growth. But the Chinese government, through its systematic subsidies, incentives and protectionism for its domestic industries, is outpacing the United States in this sector and luring American jobs to its shores. That the Chinese government expects the U.S. to underwrite this trend is a level of moxie that is hard to stomach.
Now, the not-so-good news. On China's phony currency valuation, Mr. Obama has so far trod the worn and ineffective path of Presidents Bush and Clinton before him. By some estimates, China's state-controlled currency is undervalued as much as 40 percent, unfairly damaging American manufacturers' ability to compete. By officially refusing to acknowledge even that China is manipulating its currency, the administration is providing cover to the Chinese government and depriving itself of a tool to create desperately needed jobs here at home.
On human rights, the news is also bad. …

Natomas Unified Posts 10-Point Gain on State's Academic Performance Index | Schools
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Sacramento, California – The Natomas Unified School District posted a 10-point gain overall on the state's Academic Performance Index (API) based on student performance on the 2012 California Standards Test (CST) results released in August. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson visited Natomas Park Elementary School Thursday to announce last year's statewide API results. Natomas Park Elementary is Natomas Unified's most recent school to pass the state target of an 800 API score.
"We are pleased to see continued growth district-wide," said NUSD Superintendent Chris Evans. "We take great pride in the sustained improvement over the years but also commit to continue to work hard to meet the needs of all students."
Five schools in Natomas Unified posted double-digit gains on the API, and three schools – Heron, Natomas Park, and Witter Ranch – have an API score above 800. Jefferson Elementary School demonstrated significant gains with a 24-point boost in their API score. In addition, the performance of students with disabilities and English Learners showed a significant gain with both posting double-digit gains – a 25-point improvement for students with disabilities and a 14-point gain for English Learners.
"We commend the work of our teachers, staff, and students – our efforts are getting results and we will continue to focus on the needs of our students in the classroom," said NUSD Board President Lisa Kaplan.
The purpose of the API is to measure the academic performance and growth of schools. The API is calculated from the results of the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program that includes the California Standards Tests (CST) and the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE). The API is used to measure the academic growth of a school from one year to the next.

REGION: State criminals to be monitored locally
An overcrowded prison system is fueling what are perhaps the most sweeping changes to criminal justice in California in more than three decades.
New laws, dubbed "realignment," take effect Oct. 1. Under realignment, fewer criminals will go to state prison and more will stay in county jails. Their sentences don't change. Only their housing does.
Also changing is just who watches the criminals after they get out of prison.
"It's a fundamental change in the way that corrections and criminal justice is done in this state," said Mack Jenkins, chief of San Diego County's probation department, who sat down with the North County Times recently to discuss how the realignment will affect his department.
He expressed optimism at the chance to provide monitoring and treatment for more former inmates ---- he thinks locals can do it better and cheaper ---- but he was pretty clear in saying that more money will be needed to do the job right.
And there's the rub.
By Jenkins' estimates, the probation department will need to hire 64 probation officers ---- sworn officers who carry guns and badges ---- to monitor the 2,000 or so additional convicted criminals that his department will inherit responsibility for over the next few years.
The salary cost alone for the new hires: $9.2 million, he said.
Some of that will have to come out of what appears to be about $32.7 million or so each year that the state is talking about providing San Diego County to cover all the changes. This year, the county will get about $25 million in state funds to pay for the changes from October to July 2012.
That funding is supposed to cover the annual costs of housing an additional 2,000 inmates from the state in jails, monitoring another 2,000 convicted criminals after their release and providing them with substance abuse treatment and other assistance.
"We do not believe that is enough money," Jenkins said.
Jail versus prison
As chief of the probation department, Jenkins also heads a committee of local law enforcement tasked with figuring out how to put the coming changes into daily practice.
California's prison system is so overcrowded that the U.S Supreme Court in May ordered the state to reduce the number of inmates. Just a few years ago, the state's prison system housed more than 170,000 inmates. It has since cut back to about 143,000 inmates.
With the high court's order, that number must drop even lower ---- to 110,000 inmates over the next two years.
The state is not opening prison gates and letting inmates go. Instead, it will thin the ranks slowly by accepting only those who commit felonies considered serious or violent and those who commit sex crimes.
Everybody else will be housed in county jails.
There is a difference between jail and prison.
Jails are run by individual counties. They house people who are awaiting trial as well as those who have been convicted of crimes on the lower end of the spectrum, crimes that generally draw a sentence of a year or less, such as misdemeanors.
Prisons ---- California has 33 ---- are run by the state. They house people who have been convicted of serious crimes, and also repeat criminals who have failed to remain law-abiding, ignore repeated court warnings and have again landed in prison.
Under a law passed this year, those who commit any of 44 particular crimes ---- including sex offenses ---- are automatically sent to state prison. Petty criminals will serve their time in county jails.
In San Diego County, that means 2,000 or so more people each year will become the guests of Sheriff Bill Gore and the eight jails his department runs.
