Anyone know if this rear derailleur will work on the Carbine, didn't realize I ordered the one that can be direct mounted until I rec'd it. Can it be used in conjunction with a Derailleur hanger or do I need to send back and get an M985?

Count on the Unicorn to keep the new plays coming for their 40th consecutive season, this year featuring a knockout line up that continues with a Pulitzer Prize nominee, Other Desert Cities by Jon Robin Baitz and directed by Sidonie Garrett that opens March 5 and runs through March 30.
Other Desert Cities, an Outer Critics Circle Award Winner, 2012 Tony Award Nominee for Best Play and a Pulitzer Prize finalist brings yet another hit production to the Kansas City Unicorn Theatre.

In Other Desert Cities, Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas with her parents; old-school republicans, her brother; a Reality TV actor, and her aunt; an eccentric house guest coping with addictions. When Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir exposing past events in the family's history—holiday festivities come to a screeching halt.
The Unicorn's cast for Other Desert Cities features; Cinnamon Schultz as Brooke Wyeth, Merle Moores as Polly Wyeth, Jim Korinke as Lyman Wyeth, Jake Walker as Trip Wyeth and Jan Rogge as Silda Grauman.
Other Desert Cities plays on Unicorn Theatre's Mainstage located at 3828 Main Street, Kansas City, MO 64111. The show runs March 5-30, with previews March 5, 6 and 7. Opening night is March 8. Performances run Tues., Wed. and Thurs. at 7:30 p.m.; Fri. and Sat at 8 p.m., and Sun. at 3 p.m. Talk back performances, where patrons are encouraged to stay after the show and discuss the play with the actors and director, are scheduled for March 11, 16, and; 23.

Reduced Chlorine
Though Chlorine has traditionally been used in paper products to whiten pulp, this is not a safe or sustainable process. When Chlorine flows into waterways as waste, after the bleaching process, it can seriously harm the aquatic environment. Fortunately, paper products of equal quality can be produced without the use of Chlorine.
There are three classifications of reduced chlorine content: Totally Chlorine Free, Processed Chlorine Free, and Elemental Chlorine Free.
Totally Chlorine Free is made from pulp that has not been bleached with Chlorine or with any derivatives of Chlorine.
Paper products that are labeled Processed Chlorine Free are typically made from recycled materials. Although they are manufactured without the use of Chlorine or its derivatives, some of the material may contain trace levels of Chlorine. Overall, however, this is often the best option for paper products, given the value of using post-consumer, raw materials instead of virgin pulp.
Elemental Chlorine Free, though preferable to conventional products, is the least sustainable choice among reduced chlorine products. Instead of elemental Chlorine (CI), it uses a chlorine derivative, such as Chlorine Dioxide (CIO2). Although less toxic than element Chlorine, it is still harmful to the environment.

As Moscow's resident knit specialist, Morsoyan has many years under her belt experimenting with various yarns. Her light hand this season may have something to do with the yarns' development in Austria for space technology, she noted backstage after her show. Past collections, she further explains, were heavy on chunky wools and hole-filled mohair knits, but for spring/summer '09, the Kevlar knits were tightly woven and possessed the kind of luminescence you'd find in Lurex.
The collection comprised mainly fitted knee-length dresses (looks you'd expect, say, from Alessandro Dell'Acqua) and a stunning, swingy floor-length selection that came mainly in shades of off-white, winter grays and baby camel. Additional surprises came in the form of deep plunging backs, and tasteful cutouts to reveal a modest measure of cleavage.

HOUSTON (AP) — Shaquille Johnson made a layup with two seconds remaining to give Marshall a 63-61 victory against Rice on Saturday night.
Damier Pitts scored 18 points for the Thundering Herd (11-4, 2-0 Conference USA), and Johnson added 13. Dennis Tinnon had 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Tamir Jackson had the last shot for the Owls (9-7, 0-1), but his 3-point attempt with a second left missed. Omar Oraby had 16 points and 10 rebounds for Rice, and Arsalan Kazemi added 15 points.
Jackson, the Owls' leading scorer, was held to seven points on 3 of 15 shooting.
Johnson's 3-pointer gave the Herd a 63-61 lead with 3:55 remaining. Oraby tied the score with two free throws with 2:17 left.
Kazemi missed two free throws with 11 seconds to play.
The contest featured Marshall, the nation's No. 3 rebounding team at 42.6 a game, against the top individual rebounder in the country, Kazemi. The Herd won the boards battle 45-27 and limited Kazemi, who came in averaging 12.4 rebounds, to just four.

After much media cover on the problem with Dabur's Real Juice in the past, reports of such inedible materials in the juice had stopped for some time. But, it seems they still haven't rectified the problem. A user in Jhapa found dust and worm in Dabur Real Mango Nectar sold in Sony Kirana Pasal in Damak 11 (Near, Himsikhar TV). The expiry date of the juice was however two month earlier.
It is not clear if the problem occurred because of the expired product or it was tainted in the factory. Whatever may be the case, the government should take proper steps to investigate the issue and discourage the shopkeepers from selling expired pro

Is there any notation to input falling or rising factorials on WolframAlpha?, the site has info about but i cant find nothing more.

Here's a way to do falling factorials
As one comment and one answer point out, the rising factorial can be expressed in terms of Mathematica's PochammerSymbol and the falling factorial in terms of FactorialPower so it's not surprising that these inputs work in WolframAlpha. You can use the terms "rising factorial" and "falling factorial as well, though. Here are a few examples.
One input that does not currently work (and perhaps why you missed this) is "falling factorial x,n". I'd not be surprised to see that working soon, though.

Team History
The Rockford IceHogs introduced the Rock River Valley to professional hockey in 1999. The IceHogs, as members of the United Hockey League, played its first game on Oct. 15, 1999, against the Knoxville Speed at the Rockford MetroCentre.
On August 20, 2003, the IceHogs announced a partnership with the Rockford Park District and formed the Jr. IceHogs youth hockey program. The in-house youth hockey league plays at both public ice rinks in the Rockford area, Riverview Ice House and Carlson Ice Arena. Former IceHogs player and coach Scott Burfoot runs the program through the Rockford Park District.
After accepting the assistant coaching position with the Detroit Red Wings on July 8, 2011, Peters was replaced behind the Rockford bench by assistant IceHogs coach ted Dent on July 20, 2011.
A new coach wasn't the only change around Rockford before the start of the team's 13th season as the home of the IceHogs, the Rockford MetroCentre, was renamed the BMO Harris Bank Center on August 11, 2011.
After a rough first half of the 2011-12 campaign, the IceHogs rebounded with a second half record of 21-12-1-4, but for a second straight season came up short in their bid to qualify for the postseason.
The 2012-13 season began with the NHL lockout, putting six Blackhawks skaters in Rockford for the first-half of the campaign. After the lockout ended, Rockford would finish '12-13 as one of the hottest teams in the AHL, but fell one win shy of the Calder Cup Playoffs. In doing so, the IceHogs became the first team in the 77-year history of the AHL to win 42 games in the regular season.
Center Brandon Pirri became the first player in IceHogs history to lead the league in scoring as he paced the AHL with 75 points, including 22g-53a.
After another successful season in 2013-14 which saw the IceHogs finish above .500 for the 10th straight season, the Hogs also set a then all-time attendance record with 182,540 fans visiting the BMO Harris Bank Center for 38 home games.
Once again, the IceHogs had another banner year both on and off the ice in 2014-15. Rockford set AHL franchise records in points (99), wins (46), road wins (22), winning percentage (.651) and returned to the Calder Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2010. After a sweep of the defending Calder Cup Champion Texas Stars, the IceHogs were bounced in the second round of the playoffs. However, the Hogs enjoyed the success of the big league club as the Blackhawks went on to win their third Stanley Cup in six season, and included contributions from 12 former IceHogs.
Overall, 84 different IceHogs skaters have appeared in the NHL, including 64 with the Blackhawks.
The list includes 22 players who were members of the 2010, 2013 and 2015 Stanley Cup Champion Blackhawks teams including: Bryan Bickell, Dave Bolland, Brandon Bollig, Nick Boynton, Troy Brouwer, Dustin Byfuglien, Corey Crawford, Kyle Cumiskey, Scott Darling, Colin Fraser, Jordan Hendry, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Marcus Kruger, Nick Leddy, Antti Niemi, Joakim Nordstrom, Brandon Saad, Andrew Shaw, Ben Smith, Teuvo Teravainen, Trevor van Riemsdyk, and Kris Versteeg.

There are only 7 games left in the NFL post-season. Will our Buddy, Snyder hang on to win our Annual NFL Pickoff VS the Spread - despite going 0-4 in the Wild Card round?
Here's how our pickers, Snyder, Scott Stafford, John Reidy and Colin Daniels see it going down in the Divisional games...
Baltimore @ Denver (-9.5)
The Ravens visit the Mile High City for the first time this season, fresh off a victory over the Colts in Baltimore. It won't be Andrew Luck they face this time - and this time they're not at home. The rested Broncos will play host for as long as they stay alive in these playoffs; and, if the line is correct, that should mean at least one more week. Denver toppled B'more not long ago - and it wasn't close.
Colin's pick: Baltimore +9.5
Reidy's pick: Baltimore +9.5
Snyder's pick: Denver -9.5
Scott's pick: Denver -9.5
Green Bay @ San Francisco (-3)
The 'Niners destroyed the Packers way back in week one. That was a long time ago. Now Green Bay, fresh off a Wild Card victory over Minnesota, travels to California to visit Colin Kaepernick and top-seeded San Francisco in what should be the best game of the weekend.
Colin's pick: Green Bay +3
Reidy's pick: San Francisco -3
Snyder's pick: Green Bay +3
Scott's pick: Green Bay +3
Seattle @ Atlanta (-2.5)
The Seahawks are tough as nails. They were lucky to get out of Washington with a win, though. They're much more potent at home, but they head out on the road this week, to Atlanta, to square off with Matt Ryan and a Falcons team that simply must make noise in the playoffs.
Colin's pick: Seattle +2.5
Reidy's pick: Seattle +2.5
Snyder's pick: Atlanta -2.5
Scott's pick: Seattle +2.5
Houston @ New England (-9.5)
The Patriots seem destined to face the Broncos in the AFC Championship game. First they must dispatch the Houston Texans. Can JJ Watt and the Houston defense rattle Brady enough to keep this game interesting?
Colin's pick: Houston +9.5
Reidy's pick: Houston +9.5
Snyder's pick: New England -9.5
Scott's pick: New England -9.5

Real Madrid shrugged off a warm-up injury suffered by Gareth Bale to move back to within two points of leaders Barcelona on Sunday thanks to a 4-1 win over Getafe.
Angel Lafita's deflected strike had given the visitors a surprise early lead, but Pepe and a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty put Madrid in front at half-time before Isco and Ronaldo sealed the win in the second-half.
However, it was a frustrating day for Bale, who had been named in the starting line-up, as he was forced to miss what would have been his home debut at the Santiago Bernabeu after injuring his thigh in the warm-up.
"At the start it was a bit difficult for us going forward, but we came back and played better as the game went on," Asier Illarramendi, who was making his home debut, told Canal Plus afterwards.
"We have scored four goals and we keep picking up points which is the most important thing."
Isco was drafted in to take the Welshman's place on the left side of a 4-4-2 formation and, despite the disruption, the hosts should still have been in front within three minutes when Ronaldo was denied by two desperate blocks at close range.
The home side were stunned on six minutes though when referee David Fernandez Borbalan waved play on despite Ronaldo's claims for a foul in midfield and Lafita's effort deflected off Pepe past the hopelessly wrong-footed Diego Lopez.
Madrid levelled in the 19th minute as Miguel Angel Moya could only parry Ronaldo's effort from Angel di Maria's free-kick and Pepe bundled home the rebound.
Ronaldo should have made it 2-1 from a carbon copy free-kick moments later, but this time the Portuguese volleyed off target.
Di Maria then forced Moya into a fine flying save to his right as the Real pressure began to mount.
And the hosts were in front on 33 minutes when Michel was harshly penalised for handling Ronaldo's driven free-kick inside the area.
The Portuguese confidently dispatched the resulting spot-kick to move level with Mexican Hugo Sanchez as the club's fifth highest goalscorer of all-time on 207 goals.
Getafe came within inches of an equaliser four minutes later when Pedro Leon's thunderous effort from the edge of the area was deflected just over.
However, Madrid were still well on top and Karim Benzema should then have given them a comfortable half-time lead when presented with a golden opportunity from Dani Carvajal's fine run and cross, but the Frenchman miskicked and Moya was able to make a scrambling save.
Ronaldo had a fierce effort saved by Moya and Di Maria curled a free-kick inches wide as Real looked to put the game to bed at the start of the second period.
Isco did finally give Madrid the two-goal advantage they craved when he ran onto Ronaldo's quickly taken free-kick and bent in his fifth goal in six games since joining the club.
Benzema was met by a chorus of boos by his own fans 18 minutes from time when he somehow headed over Alvaro Arbeloa's inch-perfect cross from just three yards out.
However, the Frenchman atoned for his error as he released Ronaldo seconds later and this time it was the referee who was met with the crowd's disdain as he failed to spot a clear foul on Ronaldo by Moya as he raced from his goal.
Getafe were reduced to 10 men when Michel was shown a straight red card for denying substitute Jese Rodriguez a clear goalscoring opportunity five minutes from time.
And the visitors' misery was completed deep into stoppage time when Ronaldo flicked home Sami Khedira's cross.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) _ Salim Stoudamire scored 27 points and Channing Frye had 17 to lead No. 13 Arizona to a 74-66 victory over Oregon on Thursday night.
Hassan Adams added 13 points, six assists and six rebounds for the Wildcats (15-3l, 5-1 Pac-10), who beat the Ducks (11-4, 3-3) for the fifth straight time.
Stoudamire was almost perfect in the first half, scoring 20 points on 5-of-8 shooting. He made all three of his 3-point attempts and was 7-for-7 from the free-throw line.
Bryce Taylor led Oregon with 20 points, and Aaron Brooks added 15 points and six assists.
Stoudamire ignited a game-turning 16-0 run when he made a pair of 3-pointers midway through the first half to give the Wildcats a 23-20 lead.
He scored four more points on free throws during that run, while Adams scored the other six points. The result was a 33-20 lead at the 6:28 mark. It was an advantage that held until halftime as Arizona led 42-29 at the break.
Stoudamire's fifth 3-pointer of the game put the Wildcats up 54-39, their largest lead of the game.
The Ducks, led by Brooks, answered with a 15-2 run to pull within two points, 56-54, with 8:27 left. Brooks scored the first seven points of the run and assisted on a two other field goals.
Mustafa Shakur gave the Wildcats some cushion with a jumper, followed by a 3-pointer for a 62-56 lead. After Ray Schafer made a pair of free throws to pull the Ducks back to within 64-61 with 4:25 to play, Arizona finished on a 10-5 run to close out the game.

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE; 18 January 1836; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18360118-TC-MAC-01; CL 8:280-285.
Cheyne Row, Chelsea, 18th January 1836—
My Dear Mother,
I am sure the full time for a Letter to you has come and gone since I wrote last; and, tho' there is nothing particular to be treated of, another Letter will be welcome. I must not let "want of time" be an excuse any longer; but write this night; flinging all to the right and left till I have done it.
Jenny,1 or more probably Mary, sent me a Manchester Newspaper last week with the Notice that you had heard from Jack, and that with you and him all was well: for which brief notice, as for a most welcome one, I pray you thank the sender. It is good, compared with none at all! Yet I hope soon to hear it more specifically, and at large. Jack has not written to me since the Letter you got; nor have I to him; waiting always till I heard from him again (for a Letter of mine was on the road when he wrote last), that so our Correspondence might get clear, and delivered from what I call the overlapping impediment, that is, one Letter always having to be written and despatched before the answer to the last has come. I feel pretty sure, tho' the Newspaper said nothing of it, that Jack would desire me to write now forthwith; and I accordingly shall do it, without waiting for instruction from you, or for any other prompting or furtherance: the night after tomorrow is the time I appoint for that duty. If indeed a Letter from Scotsbrig should arrive in the interim, it would be a great accession! But I fear there is little likelihood of that. Jack, as I conjecture, is going on in the old very tolerable way at Munich; not unpleasantly for the meantime, and with the hope of seeing us all in April, which hope we too can indulge. Let us be thankful; that we are all struggling on, better or worse, in a reasonable course; that prosperity shines on any of us, and adversity has yet beaten none of us down.
As for myself, I have nothing to relate except that I travel forward in my task, daily by little and little; at a frightfully slow rate, yet never absolutely lying down. The Fable says, The Hare, swiftest of animals, set out to run a race with the Tortoise, which is the slowest: Hare, after a while, looking over his shoulder, saw Tortoise at such an immeasurable distance that he thought it was of no use running, he might sport a little, or even go to sleep; he slept accordingly; and awoke to see what crawling, continual perseverant crawling, had done: the Tortoise was within few yards of the goal; the Hare spanged [leaped] and jumped, but could not get in first, only second, and had lost like a fool!2 Thus it is with the perseverant man. Or as you said when shearing that time, "Do never so little, it will not jump in again."— On the whole, however, I have no reason to be very sour with myself: I have a Second Chapter done off; and a Third or perhaps a Third and Fourth mostly lying out on the paper, needing only to be polished off more or less. I am also very quiet, and content; in general almost happy; quite careless what becomes of me, so I had done with this Task. It was a Task I could do; I, even I: no crossness of circumstances, unfriendliness of things or men could hinder me from doing it, but I finished it off in the name of Heaven! This is what I will say, one day; and look again, with what faith I can, to my Great Taskmaster, as to what is next to be done. The Book will be a very queer one; and blessed to me beyond measure,—were it in this only, that I shall have no more to do with it.
All the rest of London goes as it was wont; I heeding it comparatively little. The great grinding roar of it discomposes not my ear, as I walk thro it; I see much to pity, something to love; almost nothing I can be at the trouble to hate. John Mill has had a fever of some kind, and is still very weakly: I see little of him for long, as he cannot come out at nights: his Father also is confined all winter with illness;3 there have been very many people sick. I wonder often how it is with you at Scotsbrig in that respect: I fear it has been very boisterous and rigorous upon you; but you never complain. Spring will be here by and by, and brighter sun. It is our pleasantest season in London: indeed I fear nothing here in the shape of weather, if it be not the scorching of such a summer as our last was.— I see all my other old good friends, kind to me as ever. Tomorrow we are to dine with Mr Dunn,4 that worthiest of Irish Clergymen: he is a good man, and does me good; his very face is a lesson of patient suffrance, of peace and goodwill towards men. I also see the Wilsons;5 who have now got back from Paris. Various others: but somewhat oftener than any I walk with John Sterling, debating much with the man, loving him for his young hope, some ten years younger than mine. All these people are partial blessings to me: pleasant to look after, when one has done with his days work, and goes out "at two o'clock." On the other hand, it is also pleasant enough to be left quite quiet with your own thoughts and a Book in the evening: I often enjoy myself very handsomely that way. Men cannot help me much, men cannot hinder me much,—to get on with my poor French Revolution, which is the grand thing at present!— Jane has had a cold, and has often breakfasted in bed in the frosts; but otherwise she has been pretty well, and indeed is now done with that complaint too; and sits writing, at this moment, behind me, at her own table and desk; busy with a short French Translation I got for her to do. Whether she will "make three guineas by it," or not, is still a kind of problem; but it has been useful otherwise of itself.6 She has made the tartan: into what think you? No dressing-gown, but a Gown proper; with black silk sleeves (large as bushel-sacks), and wears it daily,—very dashing I assure you.—— I mentioned on a Newspaper that the Barrels had come, "just the night before." Perhaps a hundred times, when any waggon wheels stopped near us, we had thought, There now at last, there they are!—till finally so often disappointed we had almost renounced hope of our poor Barrels, so that their actual arrival was a surprise. The carriage from Whitehaven to London Docks was some 11/; from the Docks hither—some additional 9/; a pound all but twopence (I think) in all. Nothing was spoiled, nothing wrong: the Customhouse beagles had broken up both, to see that there was nothing contraband; they had taken the bottom too, the cunning dogs; but coming to the Hams and their wrappage, which were unwilling to come out that way, they had most luckily stopt; had they gone an inch farther, there lay the whisky; and the whole had been condemned with penalties!7 We drew off the Graybeard8 however, and drank Alick's health in it, rare stuff as it is: but never more may liquor travel with such risk. On the whole, I think we will not plague you again with Barrels and stuff sent hither. One can get all here to buy; if it be not the oatmeal, and I found I could sup on arrow-root and milk almost as well. This year, however, we eat Scotsbrig potatoes to dinner; eat Annan Ham to breakfast; which is curious enough. Isabella's Cheese, so far as the eye can judge, had stood its journey, to Belfast and round the Land's End, very well. The sides of it were dimpled all over with pressure of potatoes; but the skin was unbroken: it is scraped clean, and lies high and dry, on a bra[c]ket up stairs, seasoning. We hope to eat it, and honour the sisterly maker, in due time.— I must also tell you a word about the housemaid Ann; who is now writing a morsel of Letter to go by this to her Mother. The lass is hardy, cheerful, unwearied; rough and ready! No servant we have ever had gets me breakfast so soon prepared in the mornings: I usually sit down at eight o'clock,—such a dadding hizzy [speedy girl] is this Ann, and stours [bustles] along,—not of course in the most particular way. We have great cause to think her a lucky change against London women; and will very cheerfully let her dadd [dash] about there with ready hand and will.— I said you would get the Letter sent down before many days.
This sheet, which is the last I chance to have, will not stand much more; and surely there were whole volumes to write yet. How are you, dear Mother? I wish Jenny would take the pen up again; why does not she? I feel certified now about the fire; and fancy often that you sit warm enough "when rocking winds are piping loud."9 It is all very clear to my eye: the new Coal-box, the saddle riding there at the bedhead! Stuff the window-seams with paper; tell Jenny to do it, she will find it keep out the wind. Did Mrs Welsh send you the Book yet? We have no tidings of her for a week or two; but fancy she must now be got home.— I would give something to know how Alick gets on with his Bacon-trade; I can only guess, and fear that it is not of the best, all things continuing so ill.10 Tell that I know he did write a line to me last; but that I am in great want of another. He gets all my news thro' you. The like excuse you must make to every individual of the family, for really I am very busy, and like scribbling badly, having enough of it to do by compulsion. Yet I will pay my debts too. Give my brotherly affection, and kindest heart's-wishes to Alick and his household, to Jean and Mary and theirs. Alas, I think I owe Jean a Letter too. Do I not? Tell her to be thole-made [patient], this time. As for Jenny, you can say that I am shorted, or going to short.11 The two Jameses great and small are desired to accept my wishes. The poor Small has got more teeth I hope? His watery countenance and smile is getting dim for me, I find; but it will be all altered (for the better, one hopes) when we meet next. Good night, dear Mother; good night to one and all!—
Your ever affectionate /
T. Carlyle
Tuesday, 1 o'clock.— I send you a new salutation, this morning, dear Mother, before the Letter goes off to Buller. There will a Newspaper go today, with a warning on it. No Examiner came last week; for I got none: Hunt is a very unpunctual. His Journal, poor fellow, by which he lived, has broken down suddenly, and he is now without work, without support, and eight or nine of a most thriftless ravenous family hanging on him: a man whom all men may justly pity! What he will do one cannot see rightly: he cannot dig, to beg he is ashamed.12 I have seen him twice lately; not for a long time previously: he speaks of trying the Journal (it was a Three-halfpenny Weekly Paper) under a new form. I pray heartily he may succeed in it.— Did I mention last night that his son was drawing my Picture in oil colours?13 The poor young man requested it, as a thing that might do him good; and I could not refuse, tho' the task proves wearisome. Whether he will make a Likeness after all is very dubious: the figure at present is one of the roughest, grimmest; with "a look that would split a pitcher," as the Irish say!— Jane's cold is a little returned again, last night; and she will not go to dine today. She sends daughterly and sisterly love to all of you with open heart.— Now surely Jenny or some charitable individual will write?
I remain, / Dear Mother, / Forever and ever, /

What the Analysts Think of Turkey's Midnight Moves
Wow! What a move by Turkey's central bank.
The market was expecting hikes, but not many predicted they would be so big.
To summarize, at its midnight announcement, Turkey's central bank raised its overnight lending rate to 12% from 7.75%, more than doubled its benchmark one-week lending rate for banks to 10% from 4.5% and raised its overnight borrowing rate to 8% from 3.5%.
The move triggered an initial sharp strengthening in the lira and more broadly helped lift sentiment across financial markets, with U.S. and Asian stock markets closing higher.
In Europe early Wednesday, the initial optimism was starting to fade with stocks giving up some of the early gains and the dollar moving up to 2.22 against the lira. The South African rand was especially in the firing line, with the currency giving up all the gains seen after Turkey's move and trading back near five-year lows against the dollar ahead of its rate decision later (the South African central bank's press conference is due to start at 13:00 GMT).
Here's a roundup of some of the views on Turkey's supersize rates rises.
Paul McNamara, emerging market debt portfolio manager at GAM:
"To be honest, I don't think this changes very much [for emerging markets generally].
"For South Africa, there's an element of the market thinking they're next. They are now the lowest yielding of the countries that are in the market's line of fire–countries with deteriorating balance of payments positions.
"This is definitely not a Draghi 'whatever it takes' moment that changes everything. It's not 100% clear that this will work; stresses in Turkey are driven by fundamental factors. It takes Turkey in the right direction, but this could be grotesquely painful for the domestic economy. The chance of a run on Turkey is significantly lower, but it is still possible."
Neil Shearing, chief emerging market economist at Capital Economics:
"The measures announced after this evening's emergency Turkish MPC meeting will go some way to restoring confidence in monetary policymaking and should help to stabilize financial markets. However, Turkey remains among the most fragile emerging markets. Unless the government follows the central bank's lead, by both tightening fiscal policy and toning down some of its more aggressive rhetoric, Turkey will remain vulnerable to further bouts of market turbulence."
Sinan Goksen and Ozlem Derici at DenizInvest:
"We find the rate hike and simplification in monetary policy quite positive to restore confidence for the Turkish lira for the near-term and credibility for the bank.
"The CBT is now ahead of the curve and ready to deploy all its tools to fight with inflation, where expectations center at 7.5%-8%, much higher than CBT's own forecast of 6.6% and target of 5%. The bank's move ranks Turkey's rate as the 2nd highest policy rate among emerging markets after Brazil, creating a credible buffer against prevailing domestic and global headwinds.
"The major impact will be seen on growth – a downside risk might be a looser fiscal stance by the government considering the upcoming election cycle."
Win Thin, global head of emerging-market currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman:
"One point that's worth making is the prior to this latest meeting, the central bank had designated the 7.75% interbank money market rate as the key policy rate. So going from 7.75% to 10%, the policy tightening is not quite as aggressive as the headlines suggest. There are still some unanswered questions. Where will the average cost of funds (averaging around 7.25% in recent weeks) settle down? How will the rates corridor now at 8%-12% be used if lira weakness returns?
"Monetary policy still remains rather opaque. Minutes will be released within five working days. Until the central bank further clarifies its policy stance, we remain skeptical."
Francesc Balcells, an emerging-market portfolio manager with Pacific Investment Management Co., which manages a total of $1.97 trillion:
"Monetary policy is now thankfully moving in the right direction, but the macroeconomic imbalances and the messy political situation remains. It's still going to be challenging for Turkey. Let's face it, the external environment is not generous with heavy borrowers with large current account deficits.
"The Turkish central bank did the right thing but ultimately this was necessary but not sufficient."
Bartosz Pawlowski, head of emerging-markets strategy at BNP Paribas:
"Turkey did more than was expected and rightly so.
"That of course doesn't change the underlying problems in emerging markets but tells us that emerging market central banks actually mean business in terms of defending their currencies (and financial stability). Also, while all the worries about Fed tapering are very valid, let's not forget that rates in places like Brazil or Turkey are now in double-digits so it is increasingly more costly to short them.
"The one interesting issue at the moment is what will happen to central banks who have not yet hiked interest rates, most notably South Africa and Russia."
Gillian Edgeworth and Gaurav Saroliya at UniCredit:
"The magnitude of the hikes signals that the CBRT is acknowledging a structural shift in Turkey's ability to fund itself. It has firmly stepped away from any negative real rates, initiated in the past to battle excessive capital inflows, and into positive real rate territory. These moves should address concerns about central bank independence as well as any further near-term loss of FX reserves. The moves should also meaningfully encourage a slower pace of domestic demand for FX. In short, a turning point for the CBRT after a number of quarters of excessively accommodative monetary policy."
Thu Lan Nguyen, a strategist at Commerzbank:
"It came, it saw, it conquered.
"The massive CBT rate hike has catapulted real interest rates in Turkey from 0% to approximately 3% in one fell swoop. That was completely necessary to limit the risk of inflation on one side and ensure that Turkey will still be able to finance the high current account deficit.
"By doing so the CBT matches the steps taken by other emerging market central banks that had started defending their currencies with the help of rate hikes right at the beginning of the turbulence. Of course the rate hike was more aggressive than that of the Indian, Indonesian or Brazilian central banks, but the key rates in these countries had started off at considerably higher levels. That means that the CBT had to catch up quite considerably simply because of the high inflation levels (approx. 7% yoy)."
HSBC analysts:
"The substantive tightening of monetary policy and the steps towards a more orthodox framework is a 'game changer' for the FX market, in our view. The re-pricing of political risk amid a lack of action from the central bank had created a vicious cycle for the lira. We believe that today's decisions are likely to break that cycle and support the lira."

Disney On Ice: Rockin' Ever After is coming to the American Airlines Arena March 26-30 and to the BB&T Center in Sunrise Mach 20-23. You can see selected performances at a discount from ScoreBig.
The average buyer is getting 10% off tickets to Disney on Ice Princesses and Heroes, but we have a promo code that could get you an even better deal. CHEAP40 gives you $40 off an order of $90 or more, at checkout, based on full price. Or, you can bid for a percentage off. You'll have to do some math to figure out which is the best choice.
Here's how ScoreBig works:
- Sign up (it's FREE).
- Select the event you want and where you want to sit. You choose a section, but not the exact seat.
- Click on the words "Promo Code" at top right.
- Choose your event and your date. You'll see two buttons, a green one that says "Apply Promo Code" and a blue one that says "Make Offer." Now you have to make a choice.This is where you do the math.
- Let's say you are making an offer on tickets that sell for $50 each. You will see that the promo code will give you $20 off each one, for a total of $80, so the two tickets will cost $60, or $30 each.
- Now click on Make Offer and see what the current likely discount is. If the tickets are going for 10% off, you'll get them for $40 each, or $90. That makes the promo code a better deal. If tickets are going for 25% off, the two tickets will cost $75, or $37.50 each, making the promo code still the best offer. But if the tickets are going for 50% off, the two tickets will cost you $50, or $25 each. That makes the "Make Offer" the better choice.
- Once you've made a decision, click on Apply Promo or Make Offer.
- If you choose Apply Promo, you'll be taken to the payment screen. You will see the promo code applied and your total price. You enter your credit card number at this point.
- If you choose Make Offer, enter the amount you're willing to pay per ticket. You can see from the bar below your offer how likely it is to be accepted. Once you're happy with your offer, click Review Offer.
- If your bid is accepted, you're notified instantly. If your bid is rejected, you can place a new bid.
- Sometimes you'll get a counter offer, which you are free to accept or reject.
- No additional fees are added. The amount of your accepted offer is what you pay.

TC TO JAMES MARSHALL; 14 July 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18540714-TC-JMA-01; CL 29: 128-129
Chelsea, 14 july, 1854—
Dear Marshall,
Mr G. H. Lewes, whom I have long known, and whom everybody here knows as an ingenious brilliant, entertaining, highly gifted and accomplished man and writer, will deliver you this little Note in Weimar, where he purposes to rest himself among you for certain weeks, or at least give up his heavier labours in favour of lighter and more genial. He has had on hand this long while, and I believe is far advanced in it, a Life of Goethe:1 what that will mean, in reference to his visit to Weimar, I need not suggest to you. I have promised that you will open all reasonable paths to him in those inquiries, and do for him whatsoever you can in the way of friendly welcome,—which, for his own sake, you will soon find that he well deserves of you. He has a Card of mine for Eckermann;2 Wilson3 he already knows: he speaks German, French like a native; has roamed and read in all directions, ancient and modern, grave and gay; and "has not his tale a-seeking" (as the Scotch say), but on the contrary has it ready, in a pertinent and sprightly form, towards any man on almost any subject. Pray be good to him, all of you, while he sojourns in your old city.
I am not myself in a very victorious condition just at present; health none of the best, work absolutely refusing to move for me at all. However, we must persist; & hope the wheel will gradually turn a little, by good pushing long continued.
Kind regards to all the friends I have in Weimar: you know their names and qualities. If her R. H. the Grand-Duchess Dowager remembers me,4 please to present my respectful homages.— I remain always
Dear Marshall / Yours sincerely
T. Carlyle

With filming expected to begin soon on Star Wars: Episode VII, it was only a matter of time before we started hearing some official announcements from Disney and Lucasfilm. Today we finally got a couple of them from Disney's Bob Iger, revealing the story's timeline, a little information about the lead characters, as well as J.J. Abram's shooting schedule.
In a conversation with reporters, Iger confirmed the story will take place 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, and will follow "a trio of new young leads along with some very familiar faces". Those familiar faces are expected to be Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher, back as older versions of their iconic characters. Adam Driver looks to be a lock as the villain, and recently Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o has been rumored for a part.
Iger also reiterated what was suspected, that filming would begin in May at London's Pinewood Studios. We can probably expect firm casting announcements to be made shortly. Star Wars: Episode VII opens December 18th 2015.

In last month's issue of "The Atlantic," senior editor and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates makes a gripping argument pro reparations for the descendants of African slaves in America. The piece, featuring stunning black and white photography by Carlos Javier Ortiz, draws a compelling historical picture that illustrates the generation of systematic oppression and what he even calls terrorism imposed on black society by the American government. Coates draws this picture within a very specific framework, namely how today's black families have suffered economically in the housing market.
He opens the piece brilliantly with a lens on the impoverished conditions of a small neighborhood outside of Chicago called North Lawndale. Middle-class black families started moving in during the 1940's, encouraged by the Jewish People's Institute's desire to make the neighborhood a "pilot community for interracial living." This interracial Utopia never came to be. Instead, people Coates describes as "nefarious" intercepted the property from homeowners wishing to sell, and then sold to black families on contract. Under contract, the seller- not the previous homeowner but a middleman- kept the deed until the contract was paid in full while the family acquired no equity in the meantime. In a contract sale, often inflated from the true value of the home, if the resident missed a single payment, he would immediately lose his down payment, his monthly payments to date, and the home itself.
In a mortgage sale, the buyer gets the deed, accrues equity, and pays the bank. This is the legitimate and legal way to purchase a home. But, in 1934, Congress created the Federal Housing Administration that implemented a system of maps that rated neighborhoods according to "perceived stability." Those neighborhoods most desirable were described as lacking "a single foreigner or Negro." So it was impossible for blacks to quality for mortgages in good neighborhoods. The combined efforts of malicious thieves hell bent on taking advantage of hardworking black families along with the racist policies created by the Federal Housing Administration have rendered North Lawndale completely impoverished- sprawling with abandoned homes, dilapidated commercial buildings, and senseless violence.
Coates then opens the lens a bit, tracing an enormous trajectory through American history as it relates to African Americans. He drops staggering statistics, stating that one-fourth of all white Southerners owned slaves and that in 1860, "slaves as an asset were worth more than…all of the productive capacity of the United States put together." Also in 1860, there were "more millionaires per capita in the Mississippi Valley than anywhere else in the country," predominately from the trade of African slaves. He uses these statistics and others to unpack the reality that economy and democracy in America were established on the backs of black bodies. Systematic dismantling of the African mind and the African family proved profitable and facilitated America's rise as a world power.
He closes the piece by opening the lens even wider, discussing reparations more broadly and how it would translate in an American context. He defines reparations as a type of active reconciliation with our troubled past in order to truthfully and "squarely" adhere to the ideals of equality and freedom upon which our country was founded.
The piece is written like a true academic with a clear thematic thesis and valid and well-researched points in support of it. Though wordy in spots, the piece is structured around fascinating historical anecdotes in support of the larger points, providing emotional connection to the largely analytical and articulate narrative. What the piece lacks however, and perhaps for the best, is a clear and concrete solution. Coates offers examples of what reparations could look like, even discussing a period in 1952 when West Germany attempted to reconcile with Jewish families who were directly affected by the Holocaust.
However, if you're black, ignore the echo of cash registers in your head; his version of reparations is a bit deeper- more along the lines of a spiritual and sobering reconciliation of American ideology with history. "Reparations would mean a revolution of the American consciousness, a reconciling of our self-image as the great democratizer with the facts of our history."

STANFORD, Calif.-- Stanford Lacrosse announced the hiring of Danielle Spencer, a two-time All-American from powerhouse Northwestern, as its new assistant coach.
"We are very excited to have Danielle join our staff," said fourth-year head coach Amy Bokker. "She has the background of a proven champion. She is passionate about the game, has a tremendous work-ethic and is dedicated to help make Stanford lacrosse the best we can be. We think she is a great addition to our program and can't wait until she gets started."
The Brighton, N.Y. Native completed her playing career just outside the Windy City in 2010, playing in 83 games, ranking second in program history with 203 draw controls and seventh with 238 career points. Her 193 goals ranked sixth. She was also a three-time All-American Lacrosse Conference selection, earning first team honors her last two seasons.
Spencer is in her second year with the U.S. National team.
Spencer has been part of a Northwestern program that set an NCAA record for 58 consecutive home victories from 2004 to 2010 and won 41 consecutive games from 2008 to 2010. The Wildcats won NCAA titles her first three years (2007, 2008, 2009) before falling in the national finals in 2010. Overall the team went 85-4 (.955) overall and won all but one conference game, going 43-1 (.977).
The two-time All-American earned first team accolades following 59 goals and 77 points as a senior, which included 110 draw controls-- the third most in NCAA history.
Her first All-America certificate, second team honor in 2009, came after she netted 64 goals and 84 points her junior year. The team-leading 64 goals was the seventh-best total in Northwestern history, and was the first of two All-ALC honors.
As a sophomore, paced by 59 goals, she earned second team All-ALC accolades. She played 17 games off the bench as a freshman in 2007, the first of four NCAA finals..
As a prep, she led Brighton High to the state championship in 2005 and state finals in 2004. The two-time Academic All-Big 10 selection was named the 2009-10 Big Ten Distinguished Scholar as well. She earned a degree in social policy from Northwestern in 2010.
During the 2010-11 season, Spencer assisted with the local lacrosse clubs Firehawks, Bay Area Wave, and the Northern California Elite team
Spencer takes over for Jaime Sellers, who was named the head coach at Coastal Carolina University.
