Bernhardt In America
In the years between the dedication of the Statue of Liberty and the First World War, the Divine Sarah was, for hundreds of thousands of Americans, the single most compelling embodiment of the French Republic
July/August 1989 | Volume 40, Issue 5
Despite the millions she had realized from her eight overseas tours alone, Bernhardt's philanthropies, her eccentric prodigalities, and her medical expenses had left her desperately short of funds, and she determined, war or no war, leg or no leg, to undertake a ninth American tour. Warned against the peril of U-boats, she replied: "My star is still in the ascendant, and while it is high in the heavens I have nothing to fear. I feel young," concluded the seventy-one-year-old, "and take joy in living, for my spirit is young and will never die."
Lacking the stamina to carry her through an entire play, Bernhardt brought with her passages culled from eleven different plays and used a reduced company of actors. She left Bordeaux on September 30, 1916, reached New York on October 10, and stayed two years. She spent four and a half months, from April to September 1917, recuperating after kidney surgery in New York's Mount Sinai Hospital.
When J. P. Morgan wanted her out of his library, she seized him by the necktie and declared, "When I speak, men listen."
Next, managed by William Connor, she went on to appear not only in legitimate theaters but also in the country's major vaudeville houses. Here she met Harry Houdini and asked him, "You do such wonderful things. Could you bring back my leg for me?" The master magician disclaimed such power. "Yes," Bernhardt persisted, "but you do the impossible. I never was more serious in my life."
Too proud to use crutches, she made her entrance borne in a kind of folding sedan chair, then performed sitting, lying down (for her renowned death scenes), or standing braced by some stage prop.
Even so, Bernhardt's fellow vaudevillians considered her the toughest act to follow. The way she uttered a single word from one of the plays in her last farewell American tour, Emile Moreau's Le Procès de Jeanne d'Arc, suggests her magic and her mystery.
"What is your name?" her interrogator asked.
"Jeanne," replied Bernhardt, who remained standing throughout the scene.
"Your age?"
She turned toward the audience, paused, then said, "Nineteen." The audiences never failed to jump to their feet and cheer, for this ruined old woman, crippled, grown fat, had become, miraculously, a radiant young girl.

It is a standard fact that everyt real $n$-dimensional algebra is a subalgebra of $M_n(\mathbb R)$.
The transposition map, operating in $M_n(\mathbb R)$, is an involutive ($(A^t)^t=A$) antiautomorphism (an $\mathbb R$-linear isomorphism satisfying $(AB)^t=B^tA^t$). This makes $M_n(\mathbb R)$ a real *-algebra. The same is true in every transpose-closed subalgebra of $M_n(\mathbb R)$.
Is every real *-algebra of this kind? (a transpose-closed subalgebra of $M_n(\mathbb R)$, with the * represented by transposition)
This is true at least in the famous real *-algebras $\mathbb C$ and $\mathbb H$.

Forget the mumus, Tori Spelling's spending her pregnancy in swimwear!
The reality star, who is expecting baby #4, rocked yet another sexy swimsuit while out with her husband Dean McDermott and their baby girl Hattie this past weekend.
The last time we saw Tori she was showing off her growing belly in a red hot two-piece. This time she opted for a daring black monokini. (Apparently that's what this style of suit is called – thanks, Google!)
Tori looks incredible – particularly considering that she's been pregnant for much of the past 6 years! – but I must admit the monokini is my least favorite style of swimsuit. It's like a bathing suit in the middle of an identity crisis: Is it a one-piece? A two-piece? Make up your mind! But… that's just me.
In any case, kudos to Tori: She looks great and obviously isn't letting pregnancy put a damper on her body image.
Let's take a look back at other pregnant celebrities who've bared their bumps in revealing swimwear…
But first… what do you think of Tori's suit?

Our Set was an AN/MPQ-4A Counter Mortar Radar trailer-mounted on a raised platform to clear the surrounding structures. It was powered by a 7.5 KW motor generator placed underneath. The detachable control console was in the duty room of our barracks. It utilized an analog computer to determine the launch coordinates of ballistic munitions.
The radar design was found to have two shortcomings. First, the monitored sector, 25 degrees, was narrow. The enemy could observe the parked antenna position and choose an off-sector launch site. Countermeasures included deploying multiple radars for better coverage and optically screening the antenna. Second, the radar was designed to track high-angle, ballistic-trajectory targets and not low-angle propelled rockets.

Andrew Garfield was supposed to present at Sunday's Oscars, but Spiderman was MIA at the black- tie event. The most tragic part of his absence was that 5 year old Miles Scott, AKA Batkid was supposed to do a segment with the Amazing Spiderman actor. The theme of this year's Academy Awards was heroes, and Miles is definitely one of them in and out of costume. A spokesperson for The Academy told E! News that production problems were to blame for the segment being cut from the show.
"Due to the nature of a live show, hard decisions sometimes must be made which require the Academy to cut segments due to the logistics of production," Andrew Garfield understood that his segment had to be omitted, and he drove to Disneyland on Monday to spend time with 5-year-old Miles Scott (Batkid) and his family."
It's obvious that a 5 year old probably had a much better time at Disneyland than at the Oscars. Perhaps Leonardo DiCaprio should have joined Andrew and Miles as well. We still all love Miles and will never forget the day he saved San Francisco and brought joy into all of our hearts.

Current students, staff, and faculty can join the secure network with their UA username and password. Most PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tables can join both networks. See the knowledge base article for more details on connecting to WiFi.
End of Semester
12. What are the grades I can give a student?
Most of the time you will give academic letter grades:
Non-academic grades do not carry grade points and are not used to calculate GPAs. However, CR, NC, P, NB and NP grades may be used to determine satisfactory academic progress.
Other designations do not carry grade points and are not used to calculate GPAs.
13. How and why would I give an incomplete grade?
An "I" (Incomplete) is a temporary grade that indicates a student has made satisfactory progress in the majority of the coursework, but for conditions beyond the control of the student, she or he has not been able to complete the course.
You must fill out the Incomplete Grade Contract that stipulates the assignment(s) required to finish the course. This is a signed contract between the student and you. The department or dean's office maintains the contract.
You will enter an "I" for the student's grade in UAOnline by the grades due date.
Course work must be completed by a date specified in the contract, not to exceed one year. Upon completion of the required course work, you must submit a Change of Grade Form (signed by you, your chair, and your dean), accompanied by a copy of the Incomplete Grade Contract, to Enrollment Services.
If coursework is not completed within one year or if the terms specified on the Incomplete Grade Contract are not met, you may give a failing grade (F or NP, depending on the grading basis of the course).
If coursework is not completed within one year and you do not submit a Change of Grade Form, the "I" will become a permanent grade, and it will be necessary for the student to repeat the course to obtain credit.
See Faculty Handbook for more detail. Talk to your department contact or the Registrar's office if you think a student deserves an incomplete grade.
14. How do I submit final grades?
Final grades are submitted via UAOnline. They are typically due by 11:59 pm on the Wednesday following finals week. See these directions on submitting grades developed by the Registrar's office.
15. How do I change a grade in UAOnline?
The day after you enter grades into UAOnline, they are rolled into Banner. If you need to change a grade after it's been submitted to UAOnline, you will need complete the Change of Grade form (signed by department chair and dean) form and submit it to the Registrar.
Acceptable Reasons for Grade Changes:
Faculty members submitting grade changes that do not conform to these policies must attach a detailed explanation of the reason for the grade change.
The appropriate faculty member must submit the Change of Grade form to the Office of the Registrar.
16. How long do I have to keep course records?
Records related to classroom and course should be maintained for one full semester (excluding summer session) after the semester in which the final grade was recorded.

We don't want easy matches: Kirsten
India might have been made to toil hard by Ireland but coach Gary Kirsten is happy that his side has not got any "easy matches" so far in the World Cup as this has helped Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men get a hang of different situations.
India made heavy weather of what seemed to be a comfortable chase of 208 against the associate nation on Sunday.
India endured stiff tests even in their previous matches -- against Bangladesh and England --winning the former and managing to tie the latter.
- Yuvraj's fine all-round show douses Irish fire
"It was important that we chased and got used to batting second and getting to understand what to do in different situations," said Kirsten.
"Two points is everything and we will face different challenges in different games, we don't want to have easy games all the way through," he added.
India are now up against another minnow, the Netherlands, on Wednesday and Kirsten said all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who picked up five wickets and scored and unbeaten 50 on Sunday, has struck form just at the right time.
"Yuvraj did well all round," he said.
"He has been working hard on his cricket and wants to contribute with bat and ball. I am pleased with the way he went about his batting," he added.

Yuvi has matured into a utility cricketer: Yograj
Yuvraj Singh is now an "utility cricketer" who can craft his innings as per the situation, feels his father and mentor Yograj Singh.
Hailing his son for a brilliant overall performance, which saw India run home with a five wicket win over spirited Ireland on Sunday, Yograj said, "He (Yuvraj) has matured into a very good utility cricketer and I see that as a great change in him."
The 29-year-old etched his name into the record books after becoming the first player in the history of World Cup to take five wickets and score a half century in the same match.
- Images: Yuvraj stars with bat and ball
On the superb bowling effort of his son, Yograj said, "I have been working with him for long now and keep having discussion with Bishen Singh Bedi. I think what the world does not probably realise is that Yuvraj has worked so hard all these years."
The mercurial left-hander who is known for some big hitting struck a patient 75 ball unbeaten 50 with just three hits to the fence after claiming five wickets for just 31 runs to restrict Ireland to a total of 207 on a wicket that seemed to be conducive to spin bowling.
Witnessing the change in Yuvraj's batting his father, a former Test cricketer said, "In games, where we are chasing modest scores like the one against Ireland, there is no need to hit 90m and 100m sixes. He finished the game and that was important."
Emphasising on Yuvraj's recent spate with the injuries Yograj said, "From ligament to wrist injury, any cricketer in his place would have struggled. But he is mentally so tough that he has put these odds behind faced the challenges head on."
Yograj feels that Yuvraj has habit of "gifting his wicket" to the bowler rather than getting out to good deliveries.

UDRS is a joke in its present form: Latif
Pakistan's former captain Rashid Latif says he shares Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's concerns about the accuracy of the Umpires Decision Review System (UDRS) as the innovation is nothing but a "joke" in its present form.
"The manner in which the system has been applied in the World Cup and the way decisions of the umpires have been reversed or upheld because of it indicate it is nothing but a joke," Latif said.
Latif said the system was simply not serving its purpose in its present form specially without the hotspot technology.
- Yuvraj claims UDRS technology confusing
"Every system requires its entire components in order, but here a major component of the system (hot-spot) is missing. Also, the hawk-eye does not consider the nature of the wicket while showing the trajectory of the ball", the former Pakistan captain said.
- Why the umpire's decision must be final!
He gave the example of the India and Ireland match on Sunday in Bangalore.
"In the India-Ireland match an Irish batsman (Cusack) was given LBW after a review. Earlier the umpire correctly turned down the appeal because the batsman was well down the track -- more than 2.5 metres. To me it was a clear-cut decision, but the hawk-eye suggested otherwise. If the wicket was of the Perth then it would be a mind-boggling decision," Latif noted.
He pointed out that it was very difficult for the technology to take into account the nature and bounce of pitches as they were all different in different countries and in varying climate.
India has offered the sole opposition to the UDRS system until now with the International Cricket Council saying majority of the other Test-playing nations had supported the innovation after looking at the results of the experiments carried out in last two years.
Latif said if the system is to be used effectively, the ICC should first make sure the broadcasters and concerned boards had all the components required to make it a success.
"In the World Cup the technology they are using for the UDRS is lacking because it is difficult to make a judgement on basis of replays available to us," Latif noted.

Hafeez promises to end Pak's opening woes against NZ
They might have come a cropper so far, but Pakistan batsman Mohammed Hafeez on Monday said he and his opening partner Ahmed Shahzad are just one good partnership away from the striking form in the ongoing cricket World Cup.
Hafeez and Shahzad's opening partnerships of 11, 28 and 16 so far have put Pakistan in early trouble in all their previous three matches. They have already been told to improve by skipper Shahid Afridi and coach Waqar Younis.
- 'Hope openers will deliver the goods: Afridi
"As an opener I know we have not given a good start to the team, but there's no lack of confidence and we just need one good partnership to get the rhythm back," Hafeez said .
The 30-year-old said he also needs a bit of luck to go his way as he prepares for the match against New Zealand in Pallekele on Tuesday.
"You need luck in cricket to perform. Here there is lateral movement with the new ball and the swing is also there so both of us are trying to put up a long partnership which is the requirement," he said.
Talking about the match against New Zealand, Hafeez said the Kiwis' bowling attack should not be much of a threat to Pakistan's batting which handled it easily during a tour before the World Cup.
"We handled their bowling very well in New Zealand. Confidences is very high and I hope to perform against them," said Hafeez.

Its been almost a year since Floyd Mayweather journeyed to South Africa as if a champion of hope to a beleaguered continent. In truth, he really came as a "Pacturd" disguised as a distinguished African American in search of what Manny Pacquiao receives in his native Philippines.
He didn't get it.
He also does not get what he has to do in order to get that which he seeks - he has to actually fight Manny Pacquiao, and stop explaining why he won't. He should kill the negotiations going on between Saul Canelo Alvarez and Miguel Cotto to stage a bout on Cinco De Mayo. Because if he doesn't, he doesn't have a chance to receive the love, respect or admiration he so desperately wants. Of all the things he can buy - he's found out that he can't buy none of the three; and he traveled all the way around the world to find out its actually free.
The term "African-American" is not really respected in Africa, since so few blacks in the U.S. really know much about Africa and its many different cultures. But I spoke to correspondent from South Africa who was present at Floyd's press conference there, and he spoke volumes in simplicity.
"He's not one of us, and you all (blacks) are not as one in America."
I hate the term "Flomo" as I addressed in the comedic piece you'll hopefully re-read below. But I'd gladly be one if he wore his "TBE" hat and showed up on the streets of Ferguson, MO, to get our people to understand how we should act on an international stage.
What if he actually went to New York and made a fist with a microphone held up to his big mouth, and raised his voice in protest over what happened to Eric Gardner. Do you think that would endear him to his fans? That's debatable. But it would probably endear him to "Pacturds".
Just a thought.
I have to take this time to send a special thanks to all of you readers and the many kind remarks you post. I do read all of your comments - whether good or bad - and I truly appreciate your passion. We are nothing without it, and everything because of it.
Thank you so much,
Nananananananana… Nananananananana… Nananananananana
"PACTURRRRRRRRRD!" [nananananana] "PACTURRRRRRRRD!" [nananananana]
C'mon folks- we know you know the music [click here]. Just get rid of "Batman", replace it with "Pacturd" and start singing your ass off.
Fun yeah?
So, just who is this superhero referred to as PACTURD?
It was revealed by a rather over-zealous reader that it was in fact yours truly, who is indeed the notorious Pacturd. Let me help you out because here's how he put it. Understand that this individual is a fight writer and in his 30's. God Bless Him.
"There's pacturds and then there's YOU. YOU ARE PACTURD!!!!"
Floyd Mayweather touched down in South Africa today. As he sat at the podium next to the Sports and Recreation Minister of South Africa, in what felt like one of the most contrived press conferences in history, he had a look of disease.
By definition, "disease" is a lack of ease, and he didn't appear to have any of it. From the scripted welcome full of ham given him, to his own mishandling and stand-offish war with the South African press, he hardly seemed a world ambassador or diplomatic representative of the sport [view the press conference here].
It was embarrassing.
So enamored was he with Manny Pacquiao, that he misunderstood a question that didn't even involve Pacquiao at all. So flustered was Floyd, that he didn't even remember who he had last fought in September 2013 because he was so pre-occupied with Pacquiao.
Right away, Floyd got defensive and revealed insecurity, going offensively rhetorical with a particular media that really had no regard for him.
They pounded him about his showings against southpaws, a bout with Bernard Hopkins, "GGG", and of course Pacquiao.
His words, his demeanor, his voice, and his body language is all remarkably consistent anytime the subject of Pacquiao is broached. It negatively permeates his soul before any questions about him are asked, and it lingers well after the questions are gone.
To wit.
Pacturd: (according to Tazipedia) The ultimate obsessive and compulsive follower of Manny Pacquiao. One who loves and fears him more than any other being on the planet, and will do anything to avoid him at all costs. He will resort to vile and lascivious tactics, subversion, or lewd, racist, or child-like behavior to demonstrate this love or fear. He is a gutless turd. Thus, Pacturd.
Manny Pacquiao has been invited to the White House as an eight division world champion congressman, global ambassador, true icon, and as a fighter who is loved the world over.
His impact is positively resounding and palpable among billions, because of his genuine humanitarian and altruistic interest in wanting to improve lives and inspire.
He's always graceful and cordial in response to any of Floyd's attempts to diminish him, and demonstrated his dominance of Floyd's mind by either ignoring him entirely, successfully suing him, or by coming to America and simply challenging him to fight.
He doesn't go into the same bullsh*t or long-winded excuses, Twitter games, or racist videos (re-visit his low class ways here). By the way, we're all waiting for you to do what you said you would in that video a few years ago, or just exactly what you meant when you said "THIS" Floyd.
We're waiting.
"You may not control all of the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them."
Maya Angelou
I challenge you to find anything negative Manny Pacquiao has ever said about Floyd Mayweather other than he's scared of him.
We all know Manny made that hilariously terrible B- movie "Wapakman" (C'mon Manny lol), but it was actually quite successful. You know you're brave when you can play your own superhero for the world to see and you can't act, or sing in front of the whole world and you can't sing (C'mon Manny lol).
But that's love, something Floyd wouldn't know because he's full of hate and it shows.
Where you going next Floyd, Antarctica? We'd love to see you tweet from there.
I'll go to the spirit of one of the journalists in South Africa, who chastised and all but branded Floyd as an overrated and self-centered narcissist.
Since he sees himself as a superhero from Jupiter, I wonder what he would call himself.
The Dynamic "0-No!"?
The Caped Evader?
I must tell you in all seriousness, I am not a fan of the use of terms like "Flomo". Its wrong. As are many other things that some would call Floyd Mayweather. Its not right, and disrespectful to a particular group of people. I am not a racist, and I believe in treating people with fairness and justice. Regardless as to how I or anyone else may feel about how he's done it, he's been a fine champion and is a great fighter.
He does deserve the term "Fraud" and he needs to be unmasked for who he really is.
Floyd Mayweather is… PACTURD. (Feel free to flush whenever you like)

Sinestro #1 may not surge past the other host of Green Lantern titles, but it does provide a solid experience that is a cut above the rest in its immediate outing. Sinestro is a complex, multifaceted character that has had a deep impact on the Green Lanterns since his creation in 1961 and subsequent revival in Geoff Johns' reimagining of the Green Lantern Corps. In Sinestro's absence, the colored corpsmen of the stars have all shifted egregiously with new creative teams, however his omission has been noted and quite poignant.
The first issue opens with a sweeping shot of a forgotten world uninhabited by a people long lost. It is Star Wars-esque in the strictest since— A planet covered in overgrown jungles that hides once proud temples in darkness, which fits Sinestro just as appropriately as it does for Yoda in "The Empire Strikes Back." Once Sinestro is introduced to the reader, the focus immediately shifts from the luscious (but grim) backdrop to the contemplative and obviously tormented, Sinestro.
Sinestro is a stage stealer because Cullen Bunn pens him perfectly. Bunn balances the anti-heroic qualities of Sinestro with the variegations of his past and current mindset, while also providing details, clues, and background to the newcomer on where Sinestro has been and where he now needs to go. Dale Eaglesham fills out this portrayal by providing grace and gravitas to Sinestro's actions and surroundings. Each panel tells a part of the story, and no space is wasted— Jason Wright's colors are vibrant and hold true to the bright pages of the accompanying Green Lantern titles, which have become a staple and anchor for longtime readers.
The issue's depiction of Sinestro straddles the line between likability and nuanced villainy, while simultaneously beginning to layer in the foundation for Sinestro's further exploits. With old characters of the Sinestro Corps re-introduced to bump up the cast of the book, along with new agendas stemming out of Sinestro's self-imposed exile, this new DC series looks to be shaping up to be a decent, solid addition to one of the most interesting parts of the DC Universe.
Writer Cullen Bunn and artist Dale Easglesham obviously have a direction and a focus, and if the quality of the first issue is any indication than this is a must-read by any fan remotely interested in the off world exploits of the DC universe.

Eitzen pulls plug on ENGC
Originally published:  01/02/2008
Eitzen Gas has resigned from the Eitzen Norgas Gas Carriers (ENGC) pool, effectively winding up the 32-strong ethylene tanker operation. Eitzen Gas says it will continue its cooperation with Solvang, which involves 12 Eitzen and five Solvang ethylene tankers.
IM Skaugen, parent company of Norgas, says the development will have no impact on the balance sheet and it will be "business as usual" as far as its customers are concerned. "Norgas will continue to service its customers globally through offices in Singapore, Houston, Dubai, Shanghai and Oslo, coordinated from our base in Singapore," the company says.
Neither party has commented on the reasons behind the move, although Skaugen says that "pools of this type have a tendency not to last very long and this was no exception. Such pools and alliances depend also on both parties carrying out fleet renewals and having fleets that are compatible in age." Skaugen currently has up to ten ethylene carriers on order in China.
The ENGC pool was a continuation of the collaboration formed between Norgas and Maersk Gas Carriers in 2003. Eitzen Gas took over Maersk's ethylene fleet in 2006 and assumed its role in the pool at the same time.

YouTube and You
YOUTUBE AND YOU – YouTube has been a popular source of information and entertainment and for millions of viewers, but without a pre-screening process videos containing violence, questionable content or sexually explicit material occasionally are posted and seen by thousands of viewers before they are flagged and eventually pulled.
This is the direct result of the "instant gratification" that has made YouTube such a success and causes me to wonder how it is influencing our standards and changing us as a society.
Videos have been removed by the site on numerous occasions with most recently a video taken in the U.S. of a young man whom had been stripped and then beaten in broad daylight while a crowd gathered to watch.
Not one person called 9-1-1 emergencies during or after the attack and the video had over 40,000 views before it was removed. Was it fear that paralyzed the bystanders? What of the thousands of viewers and why would such a disurbing and humiliating video become an attraction?
In all fairness, I have to question the motivation behind the multitudes posting videos. With a search engine that responds to categories like "stupid stunts," "death jumps," "bitch slapping" and "cruel pranks" is it any wonder that we are becoming desensitized and that hurtful behavior is becoming more acceptable and even funny?
Plug in any phrase that comes to mind and YouTube will have a video to satisfy your curiosity.
Take a serious look at the material posted and you will be shocked at how many of them are not "bloopers" but are intentionally acted and filmed stunts that are dangerous and potentially life threatening. Insane car chases, animal wrestling, and competitions have turned us into thrill seeking zombies who move quickly from one video to the next, looking for each to top the the last.
The "actors" are looking for their 2 minutes of fame and to have a video posted on YouTube allows them the opportunity to feel special and important, no matter how degrading the video. The adrenaline high that is acheived as the count for number of views rises causes new and more outrageous sequels to be captured and set live. Too many have put their lives at risk and suffered irreparable harm in creating the perfect video.
Yes, there are many newsworthy and heartwarming videos on YouTube; the kind that you wouldn't mind sharing wiith your children or grandparents. There are also many videos feeding that part of ourselves that we like to pretend doesn't exist. The part that makes fun of others in our minds but doesn't speak it out loud, that is cruel and sarcastic even to individuals we know cannot help their situation.
Why do we do it and where do we draw the line to distinguish between clean fun and hurtful behavior? It is an area that each of us must make for ourselves and the line is different for everyone depending on our life experiences. Does anyone have the right to tell you what is funny or acceptable and what is not? What about when it comes to portrayals of political or religious leaders, moral issues or behavior? Some countries think they can. For instance:
The Thai government has banned and lifted those bans multiple times on YouTube over what the governing body interprets as insulting videos of King Bhumibol Adulvadej and his government officials.
In Egypt, a judge ordered a block on access to YouTube for 30 days because of an anti-Islamic film that sparked anger across the Muslim world and incited widespread riots. The same video has caused Pakistan to totally ban YouTube from its country, while China, Syria, Iran, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan have standing bans citing national security as their reason.
Additionally the U.K., France, Germany, Bangladesh, Armenia, Indonesia, Morocco, Libya and the U.S. have had material removed or placed temporary bans on the site due to inappropriate material.
Some of these bans come from oppressive governments that use all means available to control the flow of information coming into their country, while others are looking to protect the rights of the citizens or to remove hate-speech.
While we may not agree with the decisions these countries have made, they do have a point: Not everything should be shared.
Statements made by YouTube claim that with the sheer number of videos posted, they cannot monitor them all and therefore rely heavily upon visitors of the site to be "watch dogs" and alert them to offensive, objectionable or questionable videos for review. Please do your part and report material that should be removed and help keep the site safe for anyone to use.

Case in point: the so-called deer antler spray scandal, supposedly involving Ray Lewis and other well-known athletes.
What is the scoop? According to several news outlets, these athletes used deer antler spray (yes, you heard that right) in order to obtain a dose of igf-1 and therefore perform better. Another PED story in professional sports, so it must be true, right?
After all it was on TV and has Homer Simpson said :TV never lies"
Let's take a closer look at all this. First off, what is igf-1 or insulin like growth factor? In short, it is a very powerful peptide hormone, consisting of a long string of amino acids.
In rats, the substance has shown to increase muscle mass (even cause hyperplasia i e the creation of new muscle cells) and to decrease adipose tissue or body fat.
But before you go out and start chewing on some random deer in order to get huge and ripped like our bushy-tailed friend in the picture, consider this: most humans do not have any rats in their family tree (what you think of your cousin has no bearing here for the moment). So what works in animals doesn't have to work for humans.
Furthermore, IGF-1 is a very fragile substance that can not be dropped or shaken without losing its potency. It also needs to stay stored in the fridge. I highly doubt that the makers of deer antler spray follow these guidelines.
Lastly, and most importantly, IGF-1 only works via intramuscular injection, so a spray or topical cream are just a waste of money.
ESPN and others could have found all this out within a click of the mouse, but I guess the story was to tempting.
There you have it, another myth busted.

Certain filenames in my SAMBA shares from Linux are not getting transmitted properly. It's certain files in certain folders and it doesn't affect all folders or all files within a single folder. I can find no discerning pattern to the mangling but hoping that this is a known problem. No amount of reboot, restart, etc. will fix this problem.
The filenames, when they get mangled, all end up in this form:

Where to find good beer
Historically, Fort Worth has lagged in the craft beer scene. They may have the oldest current microbrewery in North Texas and the original location of the Flying Saucer beer bar chain -- but that was all they had for the longest of times. In 2007, a new Ginger Man opened on Camp Bowie (and an award-winning brewpub for a brief moment in time) but, still, there was little else in town that would be considered a good craft beer destination.
Fortunately, Fort Worth is beginning to experience its own proliferation of better beer bars, pubs and restaurants just as Dallas has enjoyed over the past several years. While places like Rodeo Goat, Brewed and The Bearded Lady came to the local forefront in 2013, and Zio Carlo Magnolia Brew Pub continues to truck along, one player has finally stepped into a role that can give the Saucer and Ginger Man franchises a true run for their money: West Seventh's Pour House.
Unlike most new craft beer establishments, the Pour House has a bit of history. The original Pour House opened as a typical sports bar a block off Sundance Square in 1995, taking the homonymic name that seems requisite in any town for an establishment catering to the college and young adult crowd. Its second-floor site with Bourbon Street-like balcony was a mainstay of downtown workers during the week and local bands on weekends. However, craft beer was just not part of its business model nor customer base at the time.
With the development boom along West Seventh Street came rising rents all over the downtown area, and the Pour House relocated in 2009 to a standalone site almost across the street from the old Montgomery Wards building. It tried with limited success to recreate what it had at its downtown location, now competing with the new businesses just a block away, but late last year the Pour House went through a renovation and rebranding as a full-fledged craft beer bar.
General manager Shawn Howell, a long-time veteran of both the Flying Saucer and 8.0, now oversees a wall of 75 craft beer taps and a kitchen producing meals just a step up from its old bar-food standards. The main room is expansive and televisions plentiful, still holding on to its sports bar history with roll-up walls providing ample patio seating in good weather. A fixed stage is in the back for local bands and an adjoining room, once a different club altogether, separates the main area from darts, shuffleboard and billiards with a smaller bar of its own.
The Pour House is also still developing as a craft beer bar with special brewery nights and informal "beer college" classes starting to find their own footholds. It still retains its sports bar heritage with plenty of space and screens at eye level but now it is also cultivating its own West Seventh craft beer crowd, drawing just a little away from those too far from the downtown Saucer. Not that the Ginger Man and Flying Saucer aren't dear to us as beer drinkers but it is nice to see the market supporting a little local competition.
Recommended pint: Martin House Sugar & Spice, a nicely mulled winter warmer.

[fw-wiz] VPN to Netgear FVS318 v2.4
- From: "Todd M. Simons" <tsimons@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Wed, 31 May 2006 10:48:26 -0400
Hello All
We have a 20 bit subnet mask (255.255.240.0 aka 0.0 thru 15.255), We're
trying to setup a VPN to a Netgear FVS318 v2.1 but can't get Phase 2 to
come up for our entire subnet. We can bring up a VPN to a single host
in our subnet, or to a Class C section ( x.x.x.1 to x.x.x.255), but not
our 20bit mask (x.x.0.1 to x.x.15.255)
The Netgear requires a start and end address (not a subnet and mask) on
its VPN settings. We've tried all combinations. The netgear side is
odd, for the Class C it takes 1 to 255 as beginning and end address, not
to 254. I tried all different combinations with the remote Netgear
admin, and got nothing.
I've asked him to upgrade to the lastest firmware (v2.4)
Has anyone ever setup a VPN to this model Netgear?

At the 2009 SUVCW National Encampment, a new National Committee was empowered to honor the memories of the 29 Medal of Honor Recipients, nearly 5,000 dead, 4 Generals and the 50,000 plus Union Veterans of the Civil War whom were Canadian Nationals. Their names have gone down in history, but are not forgotten.
This committee seeks the erection of a monument to be placed in Canada in gratitude to her Canadian Sons who volunteered in service to our Union during our American Civil War.
Lest we forget, on Armistice Day, November 11th, 1927, at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, the Dominion of Canada unveiled their monument to the thirty-five thousand U.S. citizens who joined the Canadian Expeditionary Forces during World War I. To this magnificent memorial, the names of an additional thirty-thousand Americans who streamed North to don the uniforms of Canada's military in World War II and the Korean War have been added by the grateful people of Canada.
Eventually with enough support raised through resolutions throughout the Union, fellow Allied Orders, and like-minded organizations, and through enough fundraising, we will seek to petition the U.S. Government to sponsor this Canadian Monument with eventual placement in the Southern Ontario Province of Canada. Click here (pdf) to view the monument placards.
Let us not forget the Canadian Boys in Blue, it is time that this situation be rectified, and we can help. Support this project for a monument to be erected on Canadian soil by this nation to honor the centuries-old commitments between our two nations and the sacrifices made by Canadians in our own Civil War.
How You Can help
We need your Congressional representative and SUVCW Departments to support this effort via resolution and donations. All of your support counts.
We are requesting the Department Commanders of each SUVCW Department provide to us a formal resolution endorsing the project. Donations payable to "Canadian Union Veterans Monument" may be mailed to the following address:

text: Hello everyone! I am making a modpack that will hopefully add tons of stuff to Terraria. But if I wan't to make a modpack that contains all of the things that I want it to contain I would have to be a pretty good coder. I can make the .ini files but I really suck at the .cs files. Here are some items (more will be added as soon as they are made): This modpack will probably add a new biome, called The Dark Forest. Here is my first attempt for the background: The Dark forest is a pretty dark biome that has huge trees and instead of grass it has what I would like to call dark grass. Mobs that spawn there are: Dark horses, large amphibians, owls and hopefully more. The trees there are much stronger than the normal trees and you get another, darker and stronger type of wood from cutting them. Poisonous mushrooms also grow there (sprites will be made soon). Dark Horse: So, if you are a coder please let me know because I could really need some help making this modpack.

Up-and-coming designers play on southwestern influences allowing you to be fashionably inspired.
Bonnets aside, western themes boast of small floral prints, fringe, clogs, leather and stone accessories. And, oh yes, the hottest pair of lady boots this side of Tucson! Circle those wagons, gals. We're settlin' west.
Smock-style dresses have made a comeback this year. Mixing in florals, like this dress by Mes Demoiselles Paris, is a great way to break the trail. Keep the vanguard trend trekking and add a Goorin Heritage cowboy hat with a custom tan leather sweatband and feather to boot. Speaking of boot, make sure y'all say howdy to H by Hudson Handwell and wrangle in a pair of these sweet kickers. Bring an extra level of sophistication and incorporate tribal influences by adding an arrowhead ring from Pamela Love.
"A stone is ingrained with geological and historical memories."
—Andy Goldsworty
Connect to the land with a pendant necklace by Samantha Wills to ground your western look. Keep that outfit modern and stylish with a colorful turban from Namrata Joshipura—adding a piece like this saves you from looking too costume or campy. A vintage chambray denim jumpsuit by Free People will saddle up your inner venturer while keeping you comfy on horseback. We're huge fans of stacked heels, wraparound straps, exposed zippers, and certainly no westbound sister would steer off course in a pair of Dolce Vita Nayla open toe booties.
Remember, don't clutter up with jewelry. You'll want to make sure that if you're wearing large pieces, each has space to breathe. If you're wearing a long pendant necklace and question adding a big earring, maybe try a cuff instead.
Gain outfit inspiration from subtle, dusty blooms and rustic shapes.
Pairing a wide leg pant by Otis & Maclain with a platform mule from Steven is ultra modern and totally fashion forward. This B-Low the Belt fringe handbag enhances the look and is a great accessory to hold essentials throughout the day. To round out the western trend, add a colorful beaded wrap bracelet from Chan Luu, and ride off into the sunset.
Dressing for a holiday or event can be a great way to try a new trend without going too far off the beaten path. Whether you're heading downtown to the parade or a BBQ with fireworks, you can always show your pioneer spirit through personal style.
Happy Pioneer Day from the stylists at Just Like Molly!

Game of the Day: SAFC 1 Stoke 0
by Ashley Houghton
Robinson goal seals '05 win.
Sunderland 1 Stoke City 0
8th May 2005
Sunderland celebrated collecting the 2005 Championship trophy with a 1-0 victory over Stoke City in front of 47,350 at the Stadium of Light.
Carl Robinson converted Liam Lawrence's free-kick to break the deadlock and seal the final-day victory for the Black Cats.
Lawrence missed a couple of good chances, while Karl Henry went close for the visitors.
Marcus Stewart, playing his last match for the Black Cats, nearly helped give the hosts the perfect start with a flicked pass sending Dean Whitehead through on goal.
However, the in-form midfielder was fouled on the edge of the area and Steven Caldwell saw his resultant free-kick well saved.
Whitehead was clear on goal again when sent in by Julio Arca but he sliced his effort just wide.
Even after Robinson's goal Sunderland struggled to break down Stoke's diligent defence, and although Stewart could not get the goal he craved he was given a standing ovation when replaced late on.
Sunderland: Alnwick, Wright, Breen (Collins, 82), Caldwell, McCartney, Lawrence, Whitehead, Robinson, Arca, Stewart (Welsh, 83), Brown (Elliott, 71).
Subs Not Used: Carson, Deane.

TC TO JOHN M'KIE; 11 March 1834; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18340311-TC-JMK-01; CL 7:113.
Craigenputtoch, 11th March, 1834.
Dear Sir,
Here are two boxes of old Books, which still do not exhaust my stock: if you can change them for me into money they will be much more easily carried in that latter shape. Most of them are of very small value, and I have left you to dispose of these according to your own judgment and opportunity: a few I have marked as more notable, or hypothetically worth a Price, which is in general some thirty per cent. less than I bought them at in the same secondhand condition. You must do the best you can: I shall see you again in a week or two.
An Invoice is inclosed, which (tho' wrongly ordered in the copying) will if you attend to my marginal directions give you the Books somewhat in their actual order and position from top to bottom of the Boxes. I keep the original of it here.1

I'll find a way to my memories
Where hope is stuck somewhere deep down
I'll find the way to my memories
If I can find a path hope will be found
He sat cross legged on his bed, trying to read the biology textbook that lay in front of him. Even though he had a test the next day, he couldn't acquire any knowledge from the book. Every word he read vanished into thin air before it reached his head.
He glanced at his phone for the umpteenth time. The phone lay on top of his nightstand, not emitting any light or making any sound. He let out a sigh before slumping down onto his bed and closing his eyes in frustration.
"________ barely talks to me now," he said with indignation.
I don't remember the last time she texted me.
And with that thought, fear filled his mind.
What if his girlfriend didn't like him anymore?
What if she didn't want to be with him anymore?
What if she's leaving me?
His teeth clenched as those thoughts filled his mind.
Two years ago was when he met her.
Two years ago was when they first started dating.
Two years ago was when he knew he had fell in love with her.
And now all the sudden, things were going downhill.
And he knew why.
It was because of him.
"172," You read aloud the apartment unit that was written on a crumpled note.
You stared up at a dilapidated apartment complex and nodded.
It was definitely that one, the same complex that you and Ivan walked home to every day.
And although you've walked home with him so many times, you've never actually walked with him to his apartment unit before.
You crumpled the note in your hand and walked towards the complex, walking by a few apartment units before finding the stairs.
Although you had only covered a small distance, you came across shattered alcohol bottles and small works of graffiti art.
At the side of the stairs, you found a simple layout, which listed the apartments on each floor. Apartment 172 was on the third floor.
You cautiously climbed the steps, trying to step over the shattered glass and alcohol spills. The corroded railing served a purpose as you held on to it, trying to avoid falling to your death while stepping over the mess that covered the stairs.
At the top of the steps lay a worn down apartment. The walls were decaying; the brick was visible though the large cracks. Much of the paint on the door had chipped away, revealing rotting wood. The rusty doorknob was loosely attached to the door, and it seemed like it hadn't been changed in years.
Although it was in such a terrible state, the apartment was far more sanitary than the previous ones you saw. Its owner seemed to try to keep clean, even in these filthy conditions.
As you edged closer, you read the address number.
You're heart sank.
It wasn't because you expected Ivan to live a more extravagent life. Nor was it because you were disappointed in how poor Ivan was. No, you were definetly not the type that immediately looked down upon someone because of their poverty.
It was because Ivan's harsh life wasn't just kept in the boundaries of school. He also had to suffer in poverty.
You walked up to his door and gently knocked. You let out a sigh before planting a smile on your face. You couldn't erase his poverty or put an end to his bullying, but you could try your best to brighten his life and make him happy.
Ivan opened the door.
"Hello _______," Ivan greeted, a smile planted on his face. "I'm glad that you could come. Come in." He stepped aside and held a hand out towards the direction of his house.
Although he was smiling, you could see shame written all over his face.
"Thank you," you nodded and walked right in, taking off your shoes.
The inside wasn't as bad as the outside, but there were cracks in the walls; although they were harder to discern. The signs of decay were still apparent, but once again, it didn't show as much.
"Please make yourself comfortable. I'm almost done making the food," he said.
"Ok," you said simply. With that, Ivan left into the kitchen.
You made your way into the living room, sitting at a small table. The living room was neat, yet nearly empty. Other than the table, there were only a couple of bookshelves.
The hallway lay perpendicular to the living room, and you took a quick peek at the room lying at the end of it.
From what you could see, the room was empty, but you spotted two entrances to two smaller rooms lying on the right side of the larger room.
Your eyes shifted back to the living room. You were about to end your exploration of the house when you spotted a tiny photo resting on top of the farthermost bookshelf.
Curious to see who it was, you stood up and walked towards the photo. In the photo was a girl who appeared to be a one or two years older than your age. Her blonde hair was tied back into a braided bun, with the exception of a few strands hanging down the sides of her face. Her bright blue eyes were her most prominent feature, staring at you with complete kindness.
And suddenly, your sight became blinded by what seemed to be a recollection of lost memories. You watched the girl in the photograph appear in memory after memory; each memory appeared quickly before appearing as another, like you were watching a film on fast forward.
You witnessed her gentle smile and her kind eyes. You watched her embrace a small girl with (h/c) and greet the girl with the wave of her hand. She'd sometimes care for the child, making food and reading stories to her, and occasionally hand-making petite dresses.
In the midst of it, you'd hear her serene voice say your name, hand out compliments and occasionally sing in her angelic voice. And sometimes, you saw her with two younger individuals. One was a girl with long blonde hair, who wore a prominent white bow above her bangs. She never smiled; her face almost always appeared stern. The other was a boy; however, he always appeared as a blur in your vision.
The only things you could discern were his pale hair and oversized scarf.
"The food's ready, ________."
And with that, you were snapped out of your trance. Ivan carried two bowls down the hallway and placed them on the table.
You took a seat at the table. Ivan sat in the opposite.
"I made borscht for you when you told me you wanted to come over," he said gratefully. "I hope you like it."
"Thank you Ivan," you smiled. "You're so kind."
He didn't have to waste his money and food on you, especially under his circumstances.
Yet, he still did.
Ivan gave you a small nod, "It was no problem."
And with that, you both started eating.
The moment you swallowed your first bite of food, your eyes lit up.
The familiar taste filled your heart with happiness.
For the rest of the repast, you reminisced over that girl.
Over Yekaterina Braginskaya.

Patrick Robinson's 2013 season ended far too prematurely when he tore his ACL in week 2 at Tampa Bay. Now, he's back with an opportunity to emerge among the logjam of cornerbacks the Saints have on their 90-man roster at 2014 minicamp.
In a special edition of Black and Gold Today from Saints camp on Airline Drive, sports reporter Rachel Whittaker and columnist Jeff Duncan discuss Robinson's role with the additional signing of Champ Bailey this offseason.
The Saints' running game will also be different in 2014 without Darren Sproles, who was traded to Philadelphia. Could Travaris Cadet take over some of his touches? And then there's first-round pick Brandin Cooks, a receiver by trade, but also with an explosive threat.

Live Scoring
SEATTLE – No. 19 Washington is off to a bit of a slow start at The Goodwin, hosted by Stanford. The Dawgs finished the first round at 6-over par to tie for ninth, 18 strokes back of the leader and tournament host, the No. 7 Cardinal.
The Dawgs struggled out of the gate, dropping near the bottom of the leaderboard over the first nine holes. Washington would begin to play better over their final nine, climbing to a tie for ninth, but still well back of the lead. The Cardinal lead at 12-under, three strokes better than St. Mary's and five strokes better than Oregon. In all, six teams are under par, while the Dawgs are in a four-way tie in ninth place.
The Dawgs were led by Cheng-Tsung Pan, who himself got off to a slow start, before playing his final nine holes at 3-under. Pan finished the day at 2-under 68 in a tie for 11th, five strokes off the lead of Stanford's Patrick Rodgers. The Husky junior made a big eagle on the seventh hole (his 16th) to get back in red figures.
The Dawgs had two players finish at 2-over 72, sophomores Jonathan Sanders and Chris Babcock. Sanders, who was coming off a win at Bandon Dunes, made three birdies and three bogeys, but had a costly double on the par-5 first hole. Babcock had an up and down round that included four birdies and six bogeys. Each is tied for 49th after the first round.
Washington's final two players, Trevor Simsby and Corey Pereira finished with rounds of 4-over 74. Simbsy had two costly 'others' that ruined an otherwise solid round, while Pereira got off to a bad start, before playing his final nine holes at 1-under par.
The Dawgs will look for a better start with Saturday's second round as they attempt to climb the leaderboard. The Dawgs will have the first group of tee times off the 10th hole beginning at 8:00 a.m.

Construction of four 42-storey skyscrapers, set to be the tallest buildings in Macedonia, started on Monday in Skopje.
|The complex should be completed in three years | by: Cevahir Holding
The Turkish company, Cevahir Holding, plans to invest some 300 million euro in the project that should be completed within three years in the Skopje municipality of Aerodrom.
The complex will hold a mix of residential, business and retail areas, with some 1,400 flats providing homes for 5,000 people, and a large shopping mall in the base of the towers.
"We managed to persuade the company to invest thanks to our low taxes, favourable construction land price and simple administrative procedures," Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, who attended the ground-breaking ceremony, said.
At a time of financial crisis, it is expected to be the largest single foreign investment in the country this year.
Authorities hope it will keep the flagship construction industry going, as demand for work abroad tails off.
"This complex will contribute to the modernization of Skopje and Macedonia and to the country's development in times of global crisis," the Turkish Ambassador, Gurol Sokmensuer, said.
The government hopes that the new buildings will help lower the price of housing in the capital by increasing the amount on offer.
Despite the crisis, real estate prices in Skopje have remained comparatively expensive at around 1,000 euro per square meter.
Standing 130 metres high each, the towers will be the tallest in the country, topping the 25-floor, 90-metre high building of Macedonian Radio Television, which dominates the skyline in central Skopje.
PM Nikola Gruevski marks the construction start
Cevahir Holding is one of Turkey's biggest companies. Its main fields of activity include investment, tourism and construction.
Although political ties have long been good, it was only in the last few years that Turkish companies have significantly invested in Macedonia.
In 2010, Turkey's TAV won a 20-year contract to run Macedonia's two airports in Skopje and in Ohrid and invested over 100 million euro in improving airport infrastructure.
Earlier this year, the Turkish firm Limak holding purchased a large construction site in central Skopje, planned for business and commercial buildings.
As part of the contract, the company is obliged to build a kilometre-long boulevard underpass in the city's central area.
Bosnian meat producers anticipate new business opportunities in Turkey, after the authorities in Ankara agreed to buy around 6,000 tons of meat from the country.
The Turkish President's visit to Croatia this week will shore up Turkey's position in Europe, while raising hopes of benefits for Turkish exporters and tourism industry.
Turkey's state-run Anadolu press agency opened a Macedonian-language service that will also publish news in Albanian.
Erdogan's admirers in mainly Muslim parts of the Balkans took to the streets to celebrate the victory of his Justice and Development party, which won back its Turkish parliamentary majority.
Serbian government has protested over the way the Turkish embassy in Serbia was presented on the Turkish Foreign Ministry website, though experts doubt the spat will harm long-term ties.
Serbia's relations with Turkey are crucial for the Balkans, experts told a forum in Belgrade on Wednesday - although they did not all agree on Turkey's future role in the region.
On a visit to Sarajevo, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has shown the extent of Turkish support for Bosnia - while some suspect the visit is designed also to boost the hand of Erdogan's main Bosnian ally, Bakir Izetbegovic.
A newly-formed ethnic Albanian party in Macedonia has denied allegations that it is a 'subsidiary' of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party.
Turkish Airlines has indicated that it is willing to assist Macedonia set up its own national airline, following the demise of Macedonian Airlines several years ago.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said he "wants to believe" that Recep Tayyip Erdogan did not say that anyone who dares upset Bosniaks will have to face 100 million Turks.

AUO to show the world's first deadzone-free glasses-free 3D display
AU Optronics has developed a auto-stereoscopic (glasses-free) 3D panels (15.6" Full-HD and 10.1" WXGA) that are deadzone-free. AUO is using a lenticular-lens design combined with SuperD's eye-tracking system. AUO is targeting notebooks and tablets for the displays. Eye-tracking means that only one user will be able to view the 3D image, though.
AUO also announced that it will invest $7.7 million in SuperD (and will get 10% of its shares).

If it's not responsive, it's crap!
(Say it with a Scottish accent)
A great site put together by James Mellers of THISMANSLIFE.COM solves a problem we've already run into, how to explain responsive design to your client.
"Resize your browser to reveal just a handful of the kind of devices you should expect web pages to be viewed on. Each device illustration is rendered using the same basic HTML which adapts its appearance to the changing viewport size, representing different devices accordingly. This is achieved using media queries to apply different CSS rules for different sizes. This experiment is intended to illustrate the basic premise of responsive web design and the power of CSS to tackle it." Read the rest of this entry »

Despite the available evidence of corporate profits.
So the usual question which is he.
1 Completely ignorant without knowing so.
2 A deceptive partisan shill who cares nothing about the country only his cohorts.
Or a linear combination of the two.
given up the ole rational approach eh creekidiot??
Appealing directly to the 'gut' for followers... sorta like ecoli ??
Silence of the creekiot.
crickits from the creekiot who 'feels' his way through business. This would be why he lost his business.
He has sat in his chair all holiday weekend, constantly posting. Let's analyze what that means, it's more interesting than what he actually says bad about Obama. Business, climate change, politics, "you name it" he has been debunked and shown wrong on all. He doesn't care, he goes back to the same ol' same ol' statements. One thing it means is he has nothing else to do.
What posseses someone to spend their entire life at posting political mesages on a finance board is more interesting. He says he has a wife and some kind of farm. He constantly calls others liars and "moes." Let's get out the psychology books on this guy, because it is quite "looney", as someone has said.
His southern racist roots growing up in segregation in the 50's and 60's are quite apparent, and I think is why he doesn't like Obama and degrades him. Especially Obama being from a white mother and African father, that's a big one to many still.
Sentiment: Buy
Yet he fails to explain how costs rise in a recession.
