Charles Lewis
Executive Editor
Phone: (202) 885-1997
A bestselling author and national investigative journalist for over 30 years, Charles Lewis is a tenured professor of journalism and since 2008 the founding executive editor of the Investigative Reporting Workshop at the American University School of Communication in Washington, D.C. He is the founder of The Center for Public Integrity, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and several other nonprofit organizations, and the author in 2014 of 935 Lies: The Future of Truth and the Decline of America's Moral Integrity.
He left a successful career as an investigative producer for ABC News and the CBS News program 60 Minutes and began the Center from his home, growing it to a full-time staff of 40 people. Under his leadership, the nonpartisan Center published roughly 300 investigative reports, including 14 books, from 1989 through 2004, and these major reporting projects were honored more than 30 times by national journalism organizations. His fifth and last co-authored book with the Center staff, The Buying of the President 2004 (HarperCollins/Perennial) was a New York Times bestseller.
In 1996, the New Yorker called The Center for Public Integrity "the center for campaign scoops." For example, that year Lewis and the Center issued a report, Fat Cat Hotel, which first revealed that the Clinton administration had been rewarding major donors with White House overnight stays in the "Lincoln Bedroom." In 2003, weeks before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the Center posted secret draft "Patriot II" legislation, and in October the Center posted all of the known U.S. war contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Windfalls of War first identified that Halliburton and its subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root had received the most money from those contracts, and it won the first George Polk Award for Internet Reporting.
Since 1992, Lewis has traveled and spoken publicly in 27 countries on six continents. In late 1997, he began the Center's International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, the world's first working network of premier reporters in nearly 70 countries producing content across borders. And that made www.publicintegrity.org the "first global website devoted to international exposés." In 2016, the Consortium, working with 370 journalists on six continents, published the unprecedented "Panama Papers" project.
In 2005, Lewis co-founded Global Integrity, an independent, nonprofit organization utilizing journalists and social scientists to track governance and corruption trends around the world. And from 2005 through 2008, he served as founding president of the Fund for Independence in Journalism in Washington, an endowment and legal defense support organization for the Center for Public Integrity. During that time, he also was a consultant on access to information issues to the Carter Center in Atlanta, a Ferris Professor at Princeton University and a Shorenstein Fellow at Harvard University.
Lewis, once described as "a watchdog in the corridors of power" by the National Journal, was awarded a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship in 1998. And in 2004, PEN USA, the respected literary organization, gave its First Amendment award to Lewis, "for expanding the reach of investigative journalism, for his courage in going after a story regardless of whose toes he steps on, and for boldly exercising his freedom of speech and freedom of the press." In 2009, the Encyclopedia of Journalism cited Lewis as "one of the 30 most notable investigative reporters in the U.S. since World War I."

As I said in my other threads these valves are very, very special in terms of sound quality.
Remember they arrived on Thursday last and were fine to Saturday. A friend visited and during that visit we compared my curfent interconnect fave with another. When I switched the amp back on within a few minutes one of theKT88's shone very bright orange/red. I switched off and waited -thinking that maybe I didn't wait long enough for 'cool down'. When I switched on again all was well.
I switched the position of the valve to eradicate a possible amplifier problem. All went well on Sunday and Monday.
This morning I switched on and and left the room for the system to warm up for 10 minutes. WhenI entered the room the same valve (in the new position) was aglow. Switched off and waited. Switched back on and all seemed well. Within half an hour another two valves did the same thing. Frightening!! Can't possibly leave the room with the system playing. Lorenz has agreed with my opinion that the valves haven't been tested long or thoroughly enough and has agreedto give me a full refund.
The Gold Lions are behaving impeccably so it isn't an amplifier problem.
Aaah but I do miss that fantastic sound.
Here is what the glow looks like.Scary??
Note: The12AX and AU7's are fine and sound great.

Dump Dimion
Jamie Dimon, the CEO of Chase, has lost billions and risked another financial crisis this year – but is tasked with regulating Chase and other NY-based banks at the Fed.
WTF? Jamie Dimon needs to step down from the Fed, NOW.
Here are the facts.
- Jamie Dimon is CEO of Chase AND on the board of the NY Fed, a super-important regional Federal Reserve bank which is supposed to help regulate Wall Street.
- Why is the NY Fed so super-important? Because it regulates the banks that caused the last financial crisis: Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup…and Chase.[1] Which means Jamie Dimon, CEO of Chase, is responsible for regulating his own bank. This boils down to: Jamie Dimon is in charge of regulating Jamie Dimon. (We saw how well self-regulation worked in the last financial crisis.)[2]
- This would be bad enough in good times – but Jamie Dimon is approving insanely risky gamble with our money right now, and risking another financial crash. How much of our money is he losing? Somewhere around $9 Billion on a single freakin' bet, numbers that have the potential to threaten the stability of Chase in a very serious way.[3]
- Why is it our money? Because he's making those bets with federally-insured depositor money – the money you and I might place into a Chase checking account without ever intending to fund economy-risking investments – instead of investor money. Using depositor money to fund super-risky bets led to both the Great Depression and the Financial Crisis of 2008 – and would be banned by the real financial regulation, like Glass-Steagall and a strong Volcker Rule, that Chase is lobbying against.[4]
- Worse: Jamie Dimon probably lied about it, claiming Chase lost $2-3 Billion, when they knew it'd be more like $9 Billion – and Congress still refused to grill him about it even after the lies became public. (Might as well not piss off the guy who pays you, no?)
- And he's still not sorry – he calls the $9 Billion loss an "isolated incident and calls a strong Volcker Rule, which would have prevented the whole thing, "unnecessary" – even after he lost $9 Billion without it.[5]
- So now what? One thing that should be obvious: corrupt bankers shouldn't be in charge of regulating corrupt bankers. Jamie Dimon needs to resign from the Fed.[6]
- And it's not just us. Folks who normally never agree on the need to rein in Wall Street – like Timothy Geithner and Elizabeth Warren, banking lobbyists and Occupy The SEC – have all said it's time for Jamie to go. (Geithner was President of the NY Fed during the financial crash – not exactly some kind of radical critic of Wall Street.)[7] Not only that: bankers have been forced to resign from the NY Fed before, and recently – it's not impossible if enough pressure builds up.[8]
- It's time for Jamie Dimon to resign from the NY Fed – or be kicked off.
Footnotes & more info:
[1] The Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("NY Fed") is by far the most important of the 12 regional banks that, along with the central Federal Reserve Board of Governors (chaired by Ben Bernanke) and a few other more smaller bodies, make up the Federal Reserve. The NY Fed, like all of the regional banks, is in charge of regulating the banks within its specific district – and since almost all of the most important US Banks (with some important exceptions) are in the NY area, that makes it the first among equals: covering enormous banks and bank-holding companies in NYC that you hear of every day like HSBC, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup…and Chase.
[2] Specifically, in addition to being one of 9 overall board members, he sits on the Management and Budget Committee of the NY Fed.
[3] How much money is that? Let's put it this way: Chase's entire first-quarter profit this year was $5.4 Billion – they are literally making bets that lose them half the money they make in a good year. This is insane. Or put another way: the office that the bet went through, the chief investment office, has brought in $4 Billion prior to this bet in the last three years – which accounted for 10% of Chase's profit over that time. Do the math, and we're talking almost a quarter of the money Chase has made, in net, over the last three years. This is also insane. Learn more here:
[4] The specific bet he's making involves proprietary trading, which is super-complicated – all you need to know is that it played a big part in the financial crisis, and that Glass-Steagall and the Volcker Rule would mean you couldn't do it with depositor money. Even worse, Chase is pouring lobbyist and campaign money into bribing Congress not to pass a real Volcker Rule or Glass-Steagall, the exact pieces of legislation that would make it illegal/inconvenient to use our FDIC-insured deposits on super-risky bets. Want more detail on the specific bet, as well as the regulation that could help put it to bed? Check these out:
[5] You can learn more about Dimon's response here:
[6] There's a bunch of good policy options we can also pursue – bring back Glass-Steagall, put in a strong Volcker Rule – but really, Jamie Dimon needs to be exposed and made toxic, until the public demand he either resign or be kicked out of the Fed – and only Ben Bernanke can do that, really. This article does a good job laying out the policy options that would prevent these kinds of insane bets from causing another financial crisis:

MEDINA — City Council members have outlined their spending priorities for next year, and projects include a new parking facility and working with the Friends of Spring Grove Cemetery to build a new business office and garage at the cemetery.
At a special budget meeting Wednesday, Council members whittled 22 proposed capital items to five.
In addition to the parking facility and cemetery improvements, the other three projects are renovations at the Medina Municipal Court and the city's outdoor pool on East Homestead Street and financial support for Medina Community Improvement Corporation initiatives.
Councilman Dennie Simpson, 2nd Ward, said the additions to Spring Grove Cemetery should be a priority because the city wouldn't have to pay the full cost of the project. The Friends of Spring Grove Cemetery have about $350,000 in an endowment to construct a new business office.
"It's like getting a grant," he said.
Simpson said the city would be responsible for constructing a maintenance garage that could cost at least $225,000.
The city would own both of the buildings at the cemetery on the city's east side between Weymouth Road and East Washington Street.
Not everyone agreed the city should back the cemetery project.
Council President John Coyne speculated the city might be able to construct a less-expensive maintenance garage.
"I'm just wondering if we might be able to meet with (the Friends of Spring Grove Cemetery) and maybe contribute a lower amount," Coyne said.
The city also will meet with the Community Improvement Corporation about their projects and Municipal Judge Dale Chase about an expansion of municipal court.
At the meeting, Council also discussed the 2013 budget, which includes figures for the next five years based at current spending levels.
The $48.8 million budget for next year is $1.7 million higher than in 2012. But Finance Director Keith Dirham said the increase would be only $1.1 million because $600,000 of the additional money is refinancing bonds and not new spending.
Dirham said spending is up mostly due to sanitation and health care expenses.
Sanitation expenses are up by about $400,000. The cost includes the purchase of a new vehicle but also represents an increase in expenses paid to the central trash processing facility in Seville.
Dirham said that, looking ahead at the next five years, it's possible the city may have to consider an increase in sewer collection fees.
"Unless we have an increase in revenue, that's probably something you'll have to consider," he said.
Costs are also up for health care, for a total budget impact of $500,000.
Mayor Dennis Hanwell said the increase could have been worse.
During a finance committee meeting prior to the budget meeting, Hanwell explained city benefit options to the committee members.
The city's health care provider — Summa Health Care — would have increased costs by 21.8 percent in 2013, Hanwell said the city went out to the open market and found United Healthcare could provide them with health care at an increase of 12.5 percent.
"United Healthcare is one of the largest and is pushing to be the largest health care agency," said Hanwell. "That's why you're seeing them push with a competitive bid."
The committee agreed to go with United Healthcare, for an overall savings of $172,000.
The health care change and the 2013-17 budget will be voted on at Council's regular session Dec. 10.

Former NSA contractor and intelligence analyst Edward Snowden said Monday that his one-time employer was essentially "setting fire to the future of the Internet" by conducting its mass surveillance programs.
Snowden, who stole a trove of top secret documents and has been slowly leaking them to select media outlets for months, said via satellite to a panel at the annual South by Southwest conference that attendees should battle back against such programs, and that the U.S. was not the only country targeted.
"The NSA, the sort of global mass surveillance that's occurring in all of these countries, not just the U.S. — and it's important to remember that this is a global issue — they're setting fire to the future of the Internet," Snowden said, positioned in front of a green-screen display of the U.S. Constitution. "And the people who are in this room now — you guys are all the firefighters. And we need you to help us fix it."
In addition, Snowden talked about the challenges of protecting liberty and constitutional rights like the Fourth Amendment's privacy provisions, while the government was still necessarily engaged in intelligence-gathering.
"The primary challenge that mass surveillance faces from any agency, any government in the world is not just, how do you collect the communications as they cross the wires as they sort of find their way to the global network, but how do you interpret them, how do you understand them, how do you [inaudible] them back out and penalize them?" he said.
His suggestion was to implement end-to-end encryption, a process which would limit communications just to parties exchanging information.
"And the result of that is a more constitutional, more [inaudible] sort of intelligence-gathering model, law-enforcement model," Snowden said. "Where, if they want to gather somebody's communications, they have to target them specifically. They can't just target everybody all the time."
In his satellite conversation with the American Civil Liberties Union's Christopher Soghoian and Ben Wizner, he blamed the NSA for harming national security, not his leaks.
"More than anything, there are two officials who have harmed our Internet security and national security," Snowden said. "Those two officials are Michael Hayden and Keith Alexander," the former director of the NSA and CIA, and the current NSA chief, respectively.
"When you are the one country that has a vault that is more full than anyone else's, it doesn't make any sense to be attacking all day and never defending your vault. And it makes even less sense when you're setting the standards for vaults worldwide and leaving a huge back door open," he said.
He also said Congress had failed in its oversight role, adding that "we need a watchdog that watches Congress."
The conference was held in Austin, Texas.

(AP Photo/Michael Sohn) Pierce Huff| firstname.lastname@example.com Feb. 17, 2014; 0:53 p.m. Comments Apparently being in Sochi is a lot rougher than people expect. Lolo Jones remains on a quest for Olympic gold. For now, she'd settle for cold and some decent food. Warm weather during the first week have given the Sochi Games more of a summer feel, and Jones, now a U.S. bobsledder after running hurdles in Beijing and London, isn't happy that she's not getting to wear any of her stylish winter gear. "I'm (upset)," she said, cracking a smile. "I wanted to wear all my winter clothes and hats and gloves. ... I think Sochi just needs to go ahead and put their bid in for the Summer Games. Go ahead and do it." Jones also took to Instagram in a video last weekend complaining about the kind of food given to Olympians in Sochi. Click here to see the video. Jones and USA-3 driver Jazmine Fenlator completed their last practice runs on Sunday in preparation for two-man bobsled, which begins for the women on Tuesday. They got in their final heats in bright sunshine and temperatures pushing 50 degrees at the Sanki Sliding Center, about an hour's drive into the Caucasus Mountains from Sochi. Following the second run, Jones had a noticeable abrasion above her right eye, a bobsled battle scar. "Jazmine got out and was a little frustrated and hit me in the head," Jones joked. "No, she was trying out some stuff so I was trying out some helmets. I'll go with the second one I was wearing today." Jones seems to be enjoying her first winter Olympics experience, minus any snow or sleet or hint that it's actually February and not April.

Buzz on the Street: Fed Says No Taper, More Candy
A look back at the happenings on Wall Street this week, as seen by Minyanville's Buzz & Banter.
Powering Up Facebook Ahead of Earnings
Michael Comeau
I just took down a small slug of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) $48.50/$49.50 call spread for $0.51 ahead of earnings tonight.
The reason I want in is that Facebook's down about 9% off the highs on a general cooling off of the mega-super high-beta complex, as well as the Forrester report that called Facebook's ad operations a bunch of garbage.
Meanwhile, LinkedIn (NASDAQ:LNKD), Yelp (NASDAQ:YELP), Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), and Google all reported very strong ad revenues for Q3, including in mobile. Since Facebook doesn't issue guidance, there's reduced risk of the stock selling off on Q4 guidance, the way LinkedIn and Yelp are today.
The reason I don't want to buy common stock is because of gap risk. In the event Facebook somehow misses in the face of rising expectations, the stock's going to get smashed, which means waking up to an unpredictable loss. Check out the chart below, which shows that revenue expectations (source: Bloomberg) for this quarter have gone up quite a bit in recent months..
With this trade, my downside exposure is fixed at $0.51 per lot.
Additionally, I may look at the $49/$50/$51 butterfly expiring this week, which is a low-cost, low-probability, but high-payoff play on Facebook doing basically nothing post-earnings.

FOMC Decision
Michael Sedacca
The Fed refrained from tapering monthly asset purchases, saying it will await "more evidence" before going forward with a QE taper. The Fed also saw improvement in the economy even with "fiscal retrenchment."
Added: "Available data suggest that household spending and business fixed investment advanced, while the recovery in the housing sector slowed somewhat in recent months."
Removed: comments on "tightening of financial conditions"
Bond prices are moving around some, but Fed Funds futures are still pricing in the Sep/Oct 2015 time frame as the first confirmed rate hike. The dollar is rallying. Our read is that it is a little more hawkish than what was expected.
Read the full statement here. And see a side-by-side comparison from Bloomberg here.
Peter Atwater
"Stocks are in a bubble."
"No they are not. Stocks are not alarmingly high."
As one who watches social mood closely, it is very interesting to see such open disagreement among rock star investment professionals. Like politicians and economists before them in this environment, we are now seeing open "zero sum - if I win you lose - thinking" among Wall Street titans.
Folks will say this doesn't matter, but confidence requires a consistent and coherent message. Just ask kids of divorcing parents about how confident they feel about the world.
Across politics and the financial community, I am seeing mounting incoherence.
In a world awash in liquidity, it may not matter -- until it does.

The last two days have been tough for Juelz Santana, but his legal battle has just begun.
The Diplomats MC was hauled into jail Wednesday for weapons and drug charges following a raid on his New Jersey studio, Santana's World. In an interview with MTV News on Thursday (January 3), less than two hours after he was released, the Harlem spitter spoke about spending the past 32 hours in an orange jumpsuit in Bergen County Jail.
Although Juelz learned of the bust immediately after officials visited his mother's home (he later called prosecutors to gain greater insight into the case), the uptown MC didn't turn himself in to authorities until Wednesday morning, when he already had a court date for an unrelated traffic violation, knowing he would be taken into custody because of his outstanding warrant. In the pen, the self-described "picky eater" recalled forgoing grub that looked like "rice and Alpo" to subsist on peppermint candy, maintained he didn't sleep the entire bid — during which the "minutes felt like hours" — and lamented the "claustrophobic" vibe of prison.
The newly freed lyricist, who was charged with four counts of narcotics and weapons offenses, still has major beef with a police department he said has always targeted him because of his status as a top-selling, money-getting MC.
"Jersey, their laws is a little bit different. I'm definitely a target out here just because of who I am. They pull me over… [there's] only one way to get to my studio, so every day I gotta take that route when I'm going to my studio in Jersey, so I get pulled over at least three times a week, 'cause they know all my cars. They looking to get me, regardless," he said. "I don't know why. I haven't done anything. I do music. I'm not selling drugs like they said I was doing. I'm not doing none of those things. So at the end of the day, I just don't understand their need to imply all the things that they trying to imply."
Santana insisted the Jersey cops have been looking to set him to up to drain him of his cash.
"It's about money. They don't care about the criminals, they want that money. They said, 'We gon' get him, he can get high bail.' Whether the charges stick or not, they gon' get their money," said Juelz, who was released on Thursday after posting $125,000 bail.
A January 20 raid on his studio turned up two loaded handguns, drug paraphernalia and 17 Ziploc bags of "a greenish brown vegetation, consistent with the appearance of Marijuana." The Dipset star has been charged with possession of a firearm and a controlled dangerous substance, possession of a handgun without having a permit, possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance and possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance within 1,000 feet of a school zone after police executed a 10-month-long investigation that led to the raid. (Juelz protégé and Skull Gang MC Hynief was arrested at the time of the bust). Despite the charges, Santana is adamant he wasn't involved in any illegal activity.
"If they saying they had an investigation … 125 percent they ain't got me doing or saying anything," he said. "They can tap my phones right now. At the end of the day, I don't care, because that's not my business. I've been done with that, that life. Especially selling weed. It ain't like they said, 'Oh we raided his studio, we found 100 pounds of marijuana.' … They found less than a half a ounce of weed in a studio. In a studio? That's what people do — go to the studio, smoke weed. So why would you assume that's being sold instead of being smoked? Then at the end of the day, I wasn't even there, so how would you pin some charges on me?"
The "Back to the Crib" mic-ripper insisted that the responsibility should lie with people who have used the studio and that, as the owner, he shouldn't have to shoulder all the blame.
"They gotta go by sessions. At the end of the day, I own the studio, I rent the studio out. That's like … if I go to a studio right now downtown, and I bring my weed and my guns down there — not to say that that's what I'm doing — and I go down there and they run in the studio and they gonna let me go and lock the people from the studio? They had no idea what I was doing. That's the same situation I'm in," he said.
While Juelz flatly denied that he has been pushing drugs, he did readily admit to another one of the authorities' allegations: that he has a relationship with the Bloods street gang.
"I been gang-affiliated since day one. Everybody knows that, everybody know we got a heavy affiliation with the Bloods since day one. They just try to amp things up. The media, they amp things up [and] make it sound more than what it is. Gang affiliation, I'm around Bloods. People around me happen to be around more Bloods than anything else, so they assume that's what I'm doing. But I know Crips too. I know Latin Kings," he said, adding that police "don't really all the way do their job, they just vibe off of information."
Despite the drama, Juelz made it clear he has no intentions of ditching his recording outpost, regardless of what he feels is flak from shady cops.
"I'm [going to] record in that studio. At the end of the day, why should I move? I didn't do nothing!" he maintained. "I ain't gonna have them run me out of somewhere 'cause they got it out for me. I'm just gonna have to, at the end of the day, make sure things that ain't supposed to be happening while I'm not around just ain't happening. Besides that, I'm going right back to work. Like, leave me the f— alone. Y'all wanna run in here, run in here. I ain't doing nothing. Ain't got nothing to hide."

When it comes to working with pregnant women, I have two main concerns as a chiropractor…
The first is the status of the mom's spine and nervous system. It's critical to her maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Any interference in the function of the mother's nervous system will affect the manner in which the baby rotates and turns in the womb, it will also affect baby's nutrition, development and growth.
My next concern is for the baby after the birth process. Traumatic Birth Syndrome (TBS) is a condition which describes the damage to an infant's spine as a result of the birth process. This condition has been well documented scientifically and TBS accounts for 85-95% of health problems chiropractors see in adults.
Traumatic Birth Syndrome (TBS) is a problem largely under-reported, and one that most people are very unfamiliar with. The condition was identified and brought to the chiropractic profession in the late 1990's in an effort to bring greater public awareness to this potentially serious condition in infants.
TBS is a condition in which the spine is injured during or shortly after the delivery process resulting in nerve system damage or interference. In clinical Chiropractic terminology, TBS includes any birth injury causing Vertebral Subluxation Complex or spinal injuries. It is typically found in the infant's neck and occasionally in the mid and lower back. Occurrences of this disorder are found when:
- The head, neck, or any other part of the spine and pelvis of the infant have been pulled and twisted during the birth process
- The birth process is prolonged
- The delivery process is difficult
- Extraction aids are used during delivery (i.e. forceps, vacuum, etc.)
- The child is delivered by Caesarian section
TBS injuries may go unnoticed during the trauma of the delivery process and is painless in about 95-97% of infants and adults. The patient, therefore, cannot rely on pain as a sign of the condition. An examination by a chiropractor is the only way to determine the presence and severity.
Dr. Gottfried Gutmann and Dr. H. Biederman, two German physicians, have done extensive studies on this phenomenon, which many MDs and DCs still reference today. They found a subluxation in the upper neck area can affect the respiratory centers of the spinal cord and a baby can literally stop breathing while asleep. Today we recognized this phenomenon as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Dr. Gutmann also found that 80% of all children tend to have a subluxation in the upper part of the neck, which may make them susceptible to a number of diffuse symptoms which have baffled physicians for years. He also found that this type of subluxation can cause lower resistance to infection, frequent colds, ear problems, hyperactivity, Asthma, bed-wetting, ADD/ADHD, digestive problems, as well as what he termed, "central motor impairment". His recommendation to parents is that "a spinal checkup after birth should be obligatory." I couldn't agree more.
A spinal check-up after birth is a simple thing that can make a lifetime of difference in your child. It will ensure that the child's lifeline, running through the spinal cord, is in tip-top shape, allowing all internal messages to flow correctly and uninterrupted, allowing your child optimal body function and the best of health.
Dr. Tiffany

MADRID, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Brazilian striker Jonas scored twice as Valencia rallied from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Real Zaragoza on Saturday, moving them up to fifth in La Liga.
Valencia, who trail Paris St Germain 2-1 after the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, were undone twice in the first 32 minutes at the Romareda with Portugal striker Helder Postiga causing them all kinds of problems.
Apono netted from the penalty spot after Postiga was brought down in the area in the fifth minute.
Postiga then nodded the second after Apono had fired in a free kick.
The visitors found a lifeline when Jonas turned in Aly Cissokho's low cross in the 36th minute and, as Zaragoza tired, the same player volleyed the ball in at the back post after a free kick was headed across the goal in the 69th.
Valencia then hit the crossbar and Zaragoza had reserve goalkeeper Leo Franco sent off for handling outside the area, leaving youth-team keeper Pablo Alcolea to hold the fort for a tense last 13 minutes.
Ernesto Valverde's side have 41 points from 25 games, one behind fourth-placed Malaga who visit Real Betis on Sunday and one ahead of Real Sociedad after their 3-1 victory at Basque rivals Athletic Bilbao on Friday.
Leaders Barcelona, with 65 points, host Sevilla later on Saturday when third-placed Real Madrid, on 49, were visiting basement side Deportivo La Coruna.
Earlier, struggling Real Mallorca slumped to a 3-1 defeat at home to Getafe despite Giovani Dos Santos's outstanding 24th-minute opener.
Diego Castro levelled with a disputed penalty and Adrian Colunga grabbed a double as Getafe scored three times in the last 20 minutes to leave the islanders second from bottom after having won only two points in 2013. (Reporting by Mark Elkington, editing by Tony Jimenez)

Leon's Curious George Circus Party (32 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
My client's son is a huge Curious George fan so of course we had to have a super cool circus theme party complete with a vintage popcorn maker, clowns and face painters! The colour pallete was blue, yellow and red as we wanted to keep with the curious george main colours.
The kids tables were covered in a red & white striped runners. Each place setting with a handmade party hat, mini glass drink bottles, and some simple table decorations of juggling balls. The space held about 30 children so we had to not overdo the table area.
Guests enjoyed a dessert table complete with a 2 tiered circus cake, cupcakes, cookies, cake pops, toffee apples and a lolly buffet. We used a canopy stand to which gave a real carnival effect.
We had 2 roving clowns who also did some balloon twisting, a face painter and tattoo artist, and even a vintage popcorn machine which the guests loved!
Each guest took home a personalised packet of fairy floss which we had placed on the lemonade stand for guests to take home as they left.
The room was decorated with balloons, circus draping from the ceiling, a lemonade stand, and the tattoo and face painting booths. We had a small area to work with and over 35 guests so we wanted to save as much space for the children and parents, plus the entertainers.

At 16 the wife of our preacher decided that the young girls needed a hobby. She was a cake decorator and thought we would enjoy it. I did. The first Wilton icing rose I ever did was pretty near perfect. Surprised her as well as me. I love doing it and seeing the happy faces of the people I decorate for. My website is lindafryercakes.com and I hope to one day have my own bakery.

- Company: Ralph Lauren
- Price: $2,995
- Official Site: RalphLauren.com
- Release Date: 2008 Spring/Summer
Originally created for pilots, the flight jacket or bomber jacket, became a must-own piece for fashionable men everywhere after being featured in several Hollywood blockbusters. This updated, much more luxurious version from Ralph Lauren is sleeker than the original, and is crafted in Italy from the softest nappa calfskin. It's the perfect piece to dress down or dress up as the side button-flap pockets suggest comfort while the stand-up collar gives the jacket a slightly edgy look. Wear it with jeans or with dress pants for an instantly polished, yet relaxed, look.
This vintage-inspired jacket is one of those standout pieces that can really pull your whole wardrobe together; it has a wonderful fit and will look amazing with most of what you already own. While there's nothing particularly unusual about this piece, its design was carefully thought out and it has been exquisitely crafted with no detail overlooked. Sometimes it's the little things that count, and when you don this jacket, its careful tailoring will speak for itself. So, although others may not know it has a Ralph Lauren label on the tag, they'll be able to tell that you have fantastic taste and know an investment piece when you see one.
A versatile layering piece that can be worn across several seasons, this jacket will likely be one of the nicest, highest-quality garments you'll ever own. When taken care of properly, it should also last you a lifetime and may even improve in appearance with age. Trend-wise; while bomber jackets are currently experiencing an upswing in popularity, they will eventually fall into disfavor amongst the fashion crowd. Fortunately, because this piece is free of unnecessary extras, it will still look great and you'll still be enviably stylish even when longer coats become de rigeur. Unfortunately, the price is another matter as it falls beyond the range of what most people consider sane to spend on one jacket. If you've got the cash to splash out on this piece, however, or you manage to find it on sale, snap it up without hesitation.

Want to improve your marketability during a job search in Boston, listen up! Active listening skills help improve your ability to communication. You can use these skills in telephone-based customer service calls and also email-based conversations. Only 35% of communication occurs from the actual words we hear or read. The other 65% of the message, in face-to-face interactions, results from body language. Tone and rate of speech contribute as well. When you communicate through email, you can't interpret these. However, you can still use the techniques to improve conversations. These include:
Ask about feelings and reactions, don't assume you are interpreting responses correctly.
Specify the response required. The easier you make it for someone to respond, the more likely they will. Source: Effective Email
- Offer feedback. With Active Listening, this is a way to show understanding by rephrasing it. This technique works well in instant messenger, but be careful using it in email. Don't send an extra email unless you are really unsure of what they mean.
- Use your customer's name to let them know you're thinking of them.
- Answer email quickly. If you don't, they may wonder if you've received the email. If you don't have bandwidth to handle with the issue immediately, at least send a brief reply letting the customer know you received their email. Let them know when you will send an answer.
- Re-read your email before you send it. Check for spelling and grammar. Read it aloud to check for sentences that might be misunderstood.
- Reply to long emails by quoting the customer's points one by one. This makes your reply more like a conversation and easier to follow. Quote just the relevant issues you are responding to.
- Use short paragraphs. They are easier to read and understand. For maximum readability, keep paragraphs to 50 words or less.
- Avoid shortcuts and abbreviations.
- Double-check or even triple-check important emails to customers. Save a draft of a complex message. Re-read it with fresh eyes later. Wait at least 24 hours. This will save you having to apologize later!

My dear Sir
We have applied the blister as you directed, and it seems to be rising well; but still the swelling and inflamation are nowise abated.1 Mr Carlyle has not be[en] able to swallow anything whatever, since you saw him, his throat being quite closed up, so that to get the powder over, and in that way have a chance of sleep, is out of the question. What makes the matter worse he has an excessive desire to drink. Can you suggest anything else instead of the powder? For the prospect of another such night as the last, or perhaps even a worse is quite frightful. Would leeches be of any use—do you think
Pray write your instructions for my Servant is entirely stupid
Yours very truly /

Paper doilies
- Napkins tied with ribbons

Someone I know has a slow Windows XP computer and they asked me to look at it. I found that the drive was constantly being accessed, and so would be any removable drive that was plugged in (making it nearly impossible to remove safely without shutting down the machine). When I used Process Explorer to find out what was causing this, I found one service scanning the removable drive (I forget which). I stopped the service, and a different service immediately seemed to pick up the scan. I did this a dozen times, as it rotated through both plausible and implausible services, the only seeming commonality being that they run as LocalSystem.
I installed and used AVG Free and MalwareBytes, which detected Trojan.FakeMS and Trojan.Dropper among others, but most of the files detected seem to be in no position to be run, and in any case fixing them did not fix the problem. Trend Micro's rootkit and botnet detectors also found nothing, but the scanning goes on. What is going on here? Is there some known malware that does this, but can't be detected by any of these scanners?
Oh, and I'm not sure if it's related, but Windows CardSpace (infocard.exe) keeps crashing.

Winter is grapefruit season, so we say turn up the heat. Old-fashioned broiled grapefruit is a classic—and flavor-packed—way to dish up a dose of vitamin C.
Classic Broiled Grapefruit
Serves 4
2 large chilled grapefruits
1/4 cup firmly packed
light brown sugar
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
Preheat a broiler. Cut each grapefruit in half crosswise. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each half so that it will stand upright. Loosen the grapefruit segments in each half. Place the halves upright in a baking dish. Stir together the brown sugar and butter, and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the grapefruit halves. Slip under the broiler about four inches from the heat source and broil until the sugar is bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer each grapefruit half to an individual dish and garnish with cinnamon stick, sprig of mint or lavender.
Did you know thick-skinned, white-fleshed, extremely sour and pleasantly bitter grapefruit—a naturally occurring hybrid—used to be the norm. But after an accidentally hybridized pink-fleshed grapefruit was discovered in 1906, purposeful hybridization in recent decades has resulted in a red-fleshed, thinner-skinned, sweeter fruit. In 1929, Ruby Red was patented, and grapefruit became a commercially successful crop—especially in Texas, where the Rio Star, patented in 2007, has become a state star and a favorite of citrus fans everywhere.

Ski champion Lindsey Vonn has claimed a victory in the Olympics - scoring a Gold medal despite a bad bruise to her shin.
Vonn sustained a bad bruise on her right shin during a slalom training run in Austria on Feb. 2. Thanks to the weather not cooperating, Vonn had a few more days to heal.
Hurt or not, the injury didn't keep Vonn from scoring the Gold in the women's downhill ski event Wednesday – the first American ever to do so. (Her American teammate Julia Mancuso took the silver.)
Vonn spoke to the New York Times and stated,
"I couldn't believe the feeling when I looked up and saw my name with No. 1 next to it. It was an unbelievable feeling. I didn't know what to do, so I just fell down."
No surprise here. Congratulations to the Olympic's Golden Girl.

Following a substantial heatwave this past weekend, you'd expect harvest to be kicking into gear by now.

In checking in with our three local vintners to see how harvest was going we learned that in most cases, it isn't.

The Battle of Epéhy, 18 September 1918
Despite recent hard fighting Rawlinson acknowledged his faith in the superior spirit and attacking potential of his newly strengthened Fourth Army by outlining plans to close-up rapidly with the enemy. With the aim of establishing advanced positions from which a major strike could be made against the main Hindenburg Line, his proposal to capture the strong outlying German posts on the ridges between le Verguier and Epéhy was approved by Haig and the date of assault fixed for 18 September. Superior firepower of massed artillery support underpinned arrangements for this large-scale operation in which eight Fourth Army divisions were committed on an attack frontage of over 11 miles; on the left of the attack vital assistance would be provided by Third Armys V Corps.
At 5.20am in the morning of Wednesday 18 September, having assembled in darkness and drenching rain, the infantry went forward behind the protective screen of a precise creeping artillery barrage and massed machine-gun fire. Regardless of rain, sodden ground, poor visibility and severe initial German resistance, good progress was made, especially in the centre, between le Verguier and Hargicourt, by the Australian Corps. Gains were less marked on the right and left flanks where unfavourable terrain and solid German defences posed considerable problems. Key to the days achievements lay in the Australians swift overrunning of enemy lines and the exploitation of this success; working with tanks their second objectives were taken by late morning. Subsequently units of the 4th Australian Division caused much disruption by breaking into the Advanced Hindenburg System.
Though fierce fighting continued long after nightfall, the battle represented a considerable Allied success with over 9,000 enemy prisoners taken and the British line advanced over two miles. Encouraged by this progress Haig began planning for his breakthrough assault on the main Hindenburg System.

Shania Dennis, 26, a McDonald's restaurant employee in the East Liberty section of Pittsburgh, was charged on Jan. 29 with selling heroin along with the ever popular McDonald's children's Happy Meals. Anyone wanting heroin with their Happy Meal, would simply state "I'd like to order a toy" when placing their order.
Authorities in Pittsburgh are crediting an informant with alerting them to Dennis' activities and the heroin transactions at her McDonald's drive-thru window, according to MSN.
After buyers ordered their heroin Happy Meals by stating the coded phrase "I'd like to order a toy," they would simply drive up to the window, pay the money, and claim their Happy Meal plus heroin. Dennis was busted on Jan. 29 when authorities staged an undercover drug buy.
Swissvale Police Chief Greg Geppert said Dennis allegedly put $2 in the cash register and $80 into her bra during Wednesday's transaction. ~ WTAE
During the arrest, authorities "found 10 bags of heroin in a Happy Meal box and recovered another 50 bags from the suspect."
The McDonald's employee denied any wrongdoing as she was being arrested by the undercover agents.
Police aren't certain just how long Dennis was selling heroin along with her Happy Meals.

Nora McCarthy: The Shadow of Your Smile
The Shadow of Your Smile
Nora McCarthy (vocals)
Circle Completing
Nora McCarthy (vocals),
John DiMartino (piano).
Composed by Johnny Mandel.
Recorded: New York, July 2007-March 2008
Rating: 86/100 (learn more)
"The Shadow of Your Smile" is the best cut on this album from songstress Nora McCarthy. Accompanied ably by pianist John DiMartino, McCarthy presents a collection of standards and self-penned numbers. The well-regarded McCarthy is not a jazz singer in the traditional sense. Rather she is a balladeer who veers toward jazz interpretation, as on this cut, where she offers up an expressive slow scat section. You can hear this woman's life in her voice, cracks and all. That's what life is about. Music is communication. You don't need to be Jenny Lind (the 19th-century "Swedish Nightingale") to get your point across. After listening to Nora McCarthy, you sense that you know her. I don't think we could ask more of any artist.

Sure, you can go ahead and bemoan Valentine's Day as a Hallmark/floral-industry sham that forces the already doting lovers of the world to prove their affection via roses, chocolates and heart-decorated cards.
And if you listen to the women polled recently by the dating website eHarmony, you don't need your honey to prove his love via a pretty bouquet, pink frosted cupcake or, ahem, a little—or a lot of—bling. Great Cupid's arrow! Really?! A full 87 percent claim that a Valentine's Day gift is unimportant and that time is all they really want? Puh-leeze.
The survey also finds 23 percent of women do dig the traditional gifts of love—think chocolate, perfume, flowers—while more than a third would prefer something more personal. Just warn your fellow to stay away from the sexy stuff: Almost all—97 percent—of women will take anything other than lingerie.
We say, spending time together is great, but jewelry? Well, that's a love that lasts forever.

Kids and Migraine Headaches
This ABC News report attempts to explain why kids get migraines, and, I think it does a good job, but, I wish they talked more about food triggers and less about medication treatment options. What do you think? Take a look:
Now, Dr. Fuhrman treats migraine suffers by focusing on their diet. He talks about it in Eat to Live. Here's an excerpt:
Now, Dr. Fuhrman treats migraine suffers by focusing on their diet. He talks about it in Eat to Live. Here's an excerpt:
My experience in treating migraine and severe-headache patients with a more comprehensive nutritional approach has shown that 90 to 95 percent of patients are able to remain headache-free after the first three-month period. These patients avoid common migraine triggers, but also in the healing phase they adhere to a strict natural-food vegan diet of primarily fruits and vegetables rich in natural starches like potatoes and brown rice. These patients must avoid all packaged and processed foods, which are notorious for containing hidden food additives, even though they are not disclosed on the labels. They also avoid all added salt.Oh, and be sure to check out today's post Retained Toxins are the Major Cause of Headaches.

Souza started off the day with the seventh-best long jump mark (17-5.50) for 648 points. She then finished third in the javelin with a throw of 117-5 (587 points). The freshman ended the competition with an eighth-place showing in the 800m, running 2:33.83 (646 points). She had a three-event score of 1881, which was a lifetime-best for the second day of a heptathlon. In all, Souza scored 4906 points and was just 21 points shy of her lifetime-best of 4927.
Conner was ninth in the long jump with a lifetime-best jump of 17-4.75 (643 points). She then had a huge performance in the javelin, throwing a lifetime-best by nearly 12 feet to finish second overall (124-0/625 points). Conner ended the day with a sixth-place run in the 800m (2:29.42/700 points) for a three event total score of 1968, which was a lifetime-best for the second day of competition. Her total score of 4798 bettered her previous total of 4545, which she set at the RJ/JJK Invite.
Arizona State leads the team scoring with 23 points solely from the heptathlon. Washington State and Arizona are tied for seconds with six points each and the Bruins stand in fourth with four points.
The women's team will return to Tucson, AZ next Friday and Saturday for the remainder of the Pac-10 Championships.

Return on invested capital
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is a measure of financial performance and a financial performance forecasting tool.
Expanded Definition
Return on invested capital is expressed as a percent and measures how well a company utilizes the capital invested in the business. It is similar to return on equity but takes debt into account.
ROIC ={NOPAT}{Invested\ capital}
NOPAT means Net Operating Profit After Taxes. Take operating profit and subtract taxes (usually 35%).
NOPAT = Operating\ profit * (1 - 0.35)
Invested capital is usually defined as total assets minus non-interest bearing current liabilities minus excess cash.
Non-interest bearing current liabilities are things like accounts payable, wages payable, and similar -- liabilities that don't require an interest payment.
Excess cash is usually defined as cash beyond 0% to 20% of revenue and is meant to be cash that the company doesn't need to keep running. The percentage to use is left up to the investor or analyst, but we Fools think it's better to be conservative. The amount depends on the type of company. For instance, for a restaurant, which turns cash into inventory, sells it rapidly turning it back into cash, one might use a very small percentage of revenue as "necessary" cash, subtracting out most of the cash being carried. For an industrial manufacturer, where it can take a long time to run cash through the business, a much larger percentage would be necessary. The cash conversion cycle gives a clue as to which the company is.
In general, the market is willing to pay a higher multiple for stocks with higher ROICs.
Suppose a company has the following characteristics:
- Revenue of $246 million
- $37 million in operating profit
- Total assets of $259 million
- Non-interest bearing current liabilities of $13 million
- Cash of $17 million
- Cash conversion cycle of 20.3 days.
NOPAT = $37\ million * (1 - 0.35) = $24.05\ million
The company has a fairly rapid cash conversion cycle, so we'll say that necessary cash is 3% of revenue, or $7.38 million. That means excess cash would be $9.62 million.
Invested\ capital = $259\ million - $13\ million - $9.62\ million = $236.38\ million Using those two, then:
ROIC = {$24.05\ million}{$236.38\ million} = 10.2%

A Companion to Survey Research
ISBN13:by Ornstein, Michael
Sage Pubns
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the edition with a publication date of 3/31/2013.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
- The eBook copy of this book is not guaranteed to include any supplemental materials. Typically only the book itself is included.
This book is a complete and critical introduction to doing surveys and an overview of the première empirical method in social science. Rather than a set of formulas, survey design is understood as a craft in which research questions are translated into questionnaire based on a model of how respondents answer questions, their ability and willingness to answer and the statistical characteristics of survey data. Especially, this approach is skeptical of the idea that, rather than a craft, survey research is a scientific field, like chemistry. The first two chapters describe the standard model of survey research, developed in the 1930s and then refined incrementally, the challenge of cognitive models from the 1980s and the total survey error perspective. The following chapters then provide a complete overview of the current knowledge of questionnaire design, testing, sample design and data collection. The Companion is written for researchers, especially analysts who want to understand their data better, and for graduate students and upper level undergraduates who want to do a survey or to better understand survey methods.

Candy-Cane Sheets
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: 8+ years
In: Holidays
White sheets and pillowcases
Cosmetic sponges
Fabric paints in the desired colors (or use rubber-stamp inks intended for use on fabrics)
Rubber stamps in candy and candy-cane shapes
Fine-tip permanent black marking pen
1. Wash the sheets and pillowcases and press if necessary.
2. Use cosmetic sponges to pat fabric paint of the desired color evenly over the surface of the rubber stamp. Do not let the paint get into the crevices of the stamp design. Firmly press the stamp onto the sheet without rocking it; a rocking motion will smudge the design. Lift the stamp straight off. Reapply paint and repeat the stamping procedure as often as you like to cover the pillowcases and sheets with the designs. Let the paint dry. To change colors, first clean the stamp with window cleaner and water; use a toothbrush to remove any paint from the crevices.
3. Use the fine-tip marking pen to write the phrase "...while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads..." on the bedding. Place the phrase randomly; let the ink dry.
4. To set the paint, press the fabric on the unpainted side with a warm iron, or tumble the sheets in a dryer for 20 minutes at the highest possible setting.
Tips for Successful Stamping:
Choose deeply cut rubber stamps that keep the paint on the surface; avoid getting it into the crevices around the design. If paint seeps into the crevices, you cannot stamp a sharply defined image.
Fabric paints work best on natural fabrics such as cotton and silk. If you use a poly/cotton blend, choose a blend that is at least 50 percent cotton.
To apply several colors to the stamp at the same time, cut the cosmetic sponges into smaller pieces and use them to pat the colors onto the stamp.
Instead of fabric paints, you can use fabric marking pens. Color the stamp with the pen and breathe on it prior to stamping; your warm breath will reactivate the ink.

College Hockey America Team Notes
MERCYHURST: Mercyhurst (26-5-0, 15-0-0 CHA) extended its winning streak to eight games with a two-game sweep of Syracuse last weekend at Tennity Ice Pavilion. MC defeated the Orange by the scores of 4-0 and 4-2 to extend their lead in the all-time series to 13-0-0. Senior captain Meghan Agosta led all scorers with a goal and four assists. Her goal on Saturday marked her 150th career at Mercyhurst and tied her with former Harvard forward Nicole Corriero for most goals in NCAA women's hockey history. Junior Jess Jones tallied three goals in the series, two of which came on Saturday...Senior assistant captain Jesse Scanzano scored twice in Friday's win to mark her sixth multi-goal game of the season.

Mercyhurst now has seven 10-plus goal scorers this season, the most since the 2008-09 team that reached the national championship game. The Lakers won't return to action until Friday, Feb. 25 when they host Robert Morris for senior night at the Mercyhurst Ice Center. The Lakers took all three contests against the Colonials this season by a combined score of 20-7. Overall, they lead the all-time series 26-0-0.

ROBERT MORRIS: For the second time in two weeks, Robert Morris scored a goal within the final two minutes of regulation to earn a point as the Colonials fought back to claim a 2-2 tie against Syracuse Friday. Junior Brianna Delaney recorded the game-tying goal with just 1:46 left in the third and in the process became the first player in RMU history to notch at least 10 goals in each of her first three seasons as a Colonial. It marked the first time in school history that Robert Morris had earned a point in consecutive games in which it trailed after the second period, but the Colonials would soon add to that figure. RMU orchestrated another third-period rally Saturday against the Or- ange to collect a 2-2 draw and earned a point in its third consecutive game in which it trailed after 40 minutes. Freshman Thea Imbrogno scored both Colonial goals to extend her point streak to eight games, which tied the program record, and also broke the single-game record for shots with 11. Assistant captain Sara O'Malley assisted on both of Imbrogno's goals to move into sole possession of second place on RMU's all-time assist list with 43. RMU extended its current unbeaten streak to five games, which is a new program record. A pre-game ceremony honored RMU's four seniors—captain Whitney Pappas, O'Malley, Daneca But- terfield and Maria Stoa—as it was the final home game of the season for the Colonials. Robert Morris will wrap up its regular season Friday, Feb. 25, with its second visit of the season to nationally-ranked Mercyhurst.
SYRACUSE: Syracuse tied Robert Morris 2-2 in overtime in both games of the series last weekend. SU holds a one game advantage in the all-time series, 5-4-3. In game one, senior defender Ashley Cockell scored both of the Orange's goals. Both goals were assisted by sophomore forward Isabel Menard. In game two, sophomore forward Holly Carrie-Mattimoe tallied both of Syracuse's goals. Three of SU's four goals came on power-play opportuni- ties. The Orange's penalty kill stopped 16 of Robert Morris' 17 man-up chances in the series. RMU outshot SU 65-55 in the series, but neither team could manage to break the tie in extra minutes of either game. Freshman goaltenders Jenesica Drinkwater and Kallie Billadeau split games in the series. Drinkwater made 36 saves in game one, while Billadeau turned away 35 shots in game two. SU will return home on Feb. 25 and 26 for its final regular-season series against Niagara before hosting the 2011 CHA Tournament on Match 3-5.
WAYNE STATE: In its final series of the regular season, Wayne State was swept last weekend at Niagara. Fri- day's result was a 1-0 overtime loss, just the fourth time in program history that an overtime game ended with a 1-0 score, and the first time since a win at Colgate on Oct. 24, 2009. On Saturday, Delayne Brian set a new WSU single-season saves record (947), breaking the 2000-01 mark of Anna VanderMarliere (935). Lauren Coxon and Alyssa Baldin lit the lamp for Wayne State, and Jill Szandzik assisted on both tallies. WSU is idle this weekend and will meet Robert Morris in the quarterfinal game of the CHA Tournament next Thursday.
