Business and Labor Spending in U.S. Elections
Date: October 28, 1997
Creator: Cantor, Joseph E
Description: Federal election law has long prohibited corporate and union spending in federal elections, but distinctions in statutes and judicial rulings have opened avenues by which these groups have been able to spend money in the electoral process. Business groups make particular use of political action committee (PAC) donations to candidates and soft money donations to parties. Unions made prominent use of issue advocacy in 1996, but labor's political strength lies in exempt activity communications with members. This report explains these tools and their use in today's elections.

527 Organizations: Reporting Requirements Imposed on Political Organizations after the Enactment of P.L. 106-230
Date: March 19, 2001
Creator: Morris, Marie B.
Description: On July 1, 2000, President Clinton signed H.R. 4762, P.L. 106-230. The law amended the Internal Revenue Code [IRC] to require political organizations described in IRC § 527 to disclose their political activities, if they were not already required to do so by the Federal Election Campaign Act [FECA]. This report summarizes the three major changes made by the law and some of the major responses to the legislation. First, all 527 organizations which expect to have over $25,000 in gross receipts during a taxable year and which are not required to report to the Federal Election Commission [FEC] are required to register with the IRS within 24 hours of their formation, whether they are involved in state, local, or federal elections. Second, 527 issue advocacy organizations, which previously reported neither to the IRS nor the FEC, are required to file regular disclosure statements with the IRS. Third, all 527 organizations with gross receipts in excess of $25,000 per year are required to file annual reports with the IRS. The registration statements, disclosure forms, and annual reports will be made public. H.R. 527 and S. 527 in the 107th Congress would exempt most state and local 527 organizations from the ...

527 Political Organizations: Legislation in the 109th Congress
Date: March 31, 2006
Creator: Cantor, Joseph E. & Lunder, Erika
Description: The 109th Congress is examining the role of groups organized under section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) that are involved in federal elections but are not operating under the requirements and restrictions of federal election law. Although such groups only recently emerged into public awareness, in 2004, they were widely seen as major players in the presidential election, with more than $400 million spent seeking to influence the outcome. Strictly speaking, the term "527" refers to a section of the Internal Revenue Code, which was added in 1975 to provide tax-exempt status to federal, state, and local political organizations, as defined in that statute. The controversy over these 527 groups arises from two factors: the different definitions used in federal election law and tax law as to what constitutes election-related activity and, further, the lack of certainty as to what election law itself regulates or may permissibly regulate. This report discusses these groups in detail, as well as related legislation.

All hail Caesar … Flickerman that is.
The scene-stealing "Hunger Games" host, played with scenery-chewing gusto by the great Stanley Tucci, is a larger-than-life personality onscreen, making him endearing to "Hunger Games" fans.
And why not? Caesar always seems like he's having the absolute best time ever, and almost every other sound out of his mouth is his patented laugh.
But just how much does Caesar laugh in the movies? We set out to solve this age-old question, and the answer? A lot. A real lot.
Don't take our word for it. Find out for yourself by watching Caesar laugh and make some other strange sounds in this supercut.
When asked for comment on the video, Caesar himself proclaimed "I love it. I LOVE IT!" That should be all the endorsement you need.

Jan. 25, 2012
STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford junior gymnast and three-time All-American Eddie Penev has carried the momentum of the Cardinal's 2011 NCAA Championship team into 2012, recently posting career-highs in all-around (88.55) and pommel horse (14.100) and tying a career-high in floor exercise (16.000) against California. Born in Sofia, Bulgaria, the architectural design major sat down to discuss moving into a leadership role, the transition to college gymnastics and the journey from Eastern Europe to The Farm.
How does the team carry the tradition of winning from last season?
"Last year the team was extremely deep and we had so many strong leaders who aren't on this year's team. It took a lot of pressure off me knowing those guys were going to hit their routines and post counting scores. Despite last year's team accomplishments, there were a lot of underclassmen that had strong routines and were in that six, seven, eight position but weren't as consistent as the older guys. This year we're able to bring out those routines that are very good but didn't have a spot in the lineup last year. We have a team of great guys with the potential to achieve what the 2011 team did. Having less people, the expectation hasn't changed but our approach may be a little different because of the size of the team. We're going to have to rely on consistency in our routines and that's what I'm really focusing on. Our difficulty is lower this year but our execution should counteract the lower start values of the routines."
Has anything changed moving into more of a leadership role this season?
"Losing so many leaders, it doesn't seem like I've been forced into a leadership role. Since I arrived at Stanford I've looked up to the older guys who were here for the past few years. Now I'm trying to emulate the way they competed and train the way they did in the gym. I'm not really a verbal leader, but I try to set an example through my gymnastics and my training. I love being in a position to lead without having to change my gymnastics and as an all-around competitor I know it's part of my job to lead."
What's the biggest difference between club and collegiate gymnastics"
"Before college, in club gymnastics, there's a very individual aspect to it and there's no real sense of team. When you get to college you find out it's all about the team, you're no longer performing for an individual win but for a team win. When I go out there I know I want to hit a good routine and score well with my number one priority to put up a counting score for the team. It changed my mentality, the satisfaction I get from seeing the guys cheering and when I hit my stuff is because of my contribution to the team. I do it for the other guys on the team, I don't do it for myself anymore."
How did you make it from Bulgaria to Stanford?
"My parents were gymnasts on the Bulgarian national team and after I was born they were looking for new opportunities and came to the U.S. to coach. Over time they opened up their own gym in Rochester, N.Y. that has become very successful. Being in the gym all the time growing up ,I fell in love with the sport. My parents didn't push me into it at all; initially my dad didn't want me to get into it because he knew how hard it could be physically. I just kept up with school and gymnastics and the reason I ended up at Stanford was my realization that it offers the best of both worlds and would allow me to be the best gymnast and student I could be. When I took my official visit I loved the campus and everything about the school."
What has it been like working with the Stanford coaches?
"(Head coach) Thom Glielmi is a very good motivator, he's very straight-forward and it's motivational to hear him talk about what we're going to do this year and the confidence he has in the team. I really like showing him my gymnastics and demonstrating my routines. (Assistant coach) Brett McClure is also an amazing coach with all his experience (including a silver medal in the 2004 Olympics). It's more technical with him. If I need a correction or to change up a skill a little bit or there's a little trick slip that I'm missing, he's my go to guy for that. Having Alex Buscaglia and some of the guys from last year is a great asset to our team and has helped carry over the tradition and way of doing things from last year."

Video: Officer saves woman from drunk collision
Lubbock, Texas Officer Philip Standefer's quick reaction saved woman who had just been in minor traffic collision
By PoliceOne Staff
LUBBOCK, (Texas) — Recently-released dash-cam video shows Lubbock Police Officer Philip Standefer's quick actions as he pulled a woman from the path of an approaching squad car that had been slammed into by a drunk driver.
Standefer had responded to minor traffic collision the scene and was speaking with the woman involved when a van, driven by 23-year-old Peter Keltz, collided with the parked squad car, plowing it toward the two.
In the video, Standefer pulls the woman to safety just before the squad crashes into her vehicle.
"I can't think of a better way to serve the community that to literally risk my life for them," Standefer had said in an interview with KCBD-TV when he graduated from the police academy just a few years ago.
Keltz was arrested that night and he is charged with DWI and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He remained behind bars on Wednesday with a $55,000 bond.

How can Japan navigate the Senkaku dispute and China's rise?
Author: Yoshihide Soeya, Keio University
Two centuries ago, Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have warned against waking up China. Japan is now experiencing the true meaning of this remark, particularly after a series of recent Chinese provocations around the Senkaku Islands.
China claimed ownership of these islands (which it calls Diaoyu) in December 1971 for the first time in history, and the dispute has now come to symbolise for Japan the uncertainty of China's rise.
In September 2012, the Japanese government decided to terminate the lease agreement that had been in effect since 2002 for the islands, purchasing three of the main ones from their Japanese owner. The purpose was to prevent Shintaro Ishihara, then governor of Tokyo, from buying the islands. The government did this in the hope of controlling the islands and Japan's relationship with China in a calm and peaceful manner.
Tokyo was optimistic and believed that Beijing would understand its gesture. But this assumption turned out to be seriously wrong. According to Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, between September 2012 and February 2013 a total of 83 Chinese government vessels violated the waters around the Senkaku Islands as many as 25 times. In December 2012, the Japanese Air Self-Defence Force scrambled a Chinese State Oceanic Administration aircraft that flew over the islands. And in late January 2013, the provocation escalated dangerously when a Chinese navy vessel locked a fire-guiding radar on a Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force escort ship.
Although the decision-making process of what appears to be a strategic shift for China is opaque, the implications are clear. Wrapped up in the conflict and the rise of China are two major challenges for Japan and the rest of Asia. First, China's wish to restore the 'greatness of the Chinese people' appears contextually important. This is explicit in the Chinese claim that the islands (both the Senkakus and those in the South China Sea) have belonged to China since 'ancient times'. Mixed in with this outlook is China's unique nationalism, which combines a deep sense of humiliation about its modern history from the Opium Wars onward and a deep sense of national pride in its spectacular rise.
The second challenge is China's belief that the questions of sovereignty and territorial integrity constitute Chinese 'core interests'. Many thought at the end of the Cold War that the time of traditional power politics was over and that non-traditional security threats would soon take centre stage. Japan also began to focus more intently on multilateral security issues, including its contribution to UN peacekeeping operations. But the defence of Japan's territorial integrity has now surfaced as a critical national security issue.
Amid this historic shift in Asia's security environment, Japanese voters chose Shinzo Abe, a self-professed conservative patriot, as their new prime minister in December 2012. Lacking any real ability to deal with China's rise unilaterally, strengthening Japan's alliance with the United States is a natural response for Abe. In his recent trip to Washington for a summit meeting with President Barack Obama, Abe said on 22 February: 'We simply cannot tolerate any challenge [against the Senkakus] now, and in the future. No nation should make any miscalculation about the firmness of our resolve. No one should ever doubt the robustness of the Japan-U.S. Alliance'.
At the same time, Abe continued: 'I have absolutely no intention to climb up the escalation ladder … For me, Japan's relations with China stand out, as among the most important. I have never ceased to pursue what I called [a] "Mutually Beneficial Relationship Based on Common Strategic Interests" with China. The doors are always open on my side for the Chinese leaders'.
The dilemma of a US alliance-first strategy, however, is that Abe's stance will make it harder for the Chinese leadership to open these doors. This is because the US military presence, along with the US–Japan alliance, is the biggest obstacle to the Chinese dream of restoring its greatness — and by extension an Asian order with China at the centre. It appears that the Senkaku/Diaoyu dispute has now become a symbolic issue for Chinese nationalists and for China's strategic calculations.
Practically speaking, trying to change this outlook is an impossible task, which will simply make Chinese nationalism much harder to handle. Rather, the rest of the Asian region, including Japan, should improve its own cooperation as a way to provide an alternative regional order that is not heavily China-centric — but whose ultimate goal is to co-exist with a strong China. In short, this longer-term strategic approach should be regarded as a survival strategy, not as a strategy focused on China outright. The nations of Asia are facing a common historic challenge presented by the rise of China and must find a way to exist within this system.
Abe said in his speech in Washington that 'In order for us, Japan and the United States, to jointly provide the region and the world with more rule of law, more democracy, more security and less poverty, Japan must stay strong'. Equally important is a strategic perspective that gives weight to the role of Japan in building partnerships among Asian countries, which should not necessarily be limited to 'like-minded democracies throughout the region' as Abe emphasised. It should be obvious that Abe's well-known agenda on historical issues is nothing but an unnecessary obstacle to building this alternative strategic vision for Japan and the region.
Yoshihide Soeya is Professor of Political Science and International Relations at the Faculty of Law, Keio University, and Director of that University's Institute of East Asian Studies.

So, I'm confused about how or how else does Japan suppose to navigate the China's rise? After you have eloquently described the Chinese ambition with its internal and external contradictions, conflicts with values of many nations, are you suggesting that because " Practically speaking, trying to change this outlook is an impossible task, which will simply make Chinese nationalism much harder to handle. Rather, the rest of the Asian region, including Japan, should improve its own cooperation as a way to provide an alternative regional order that is not heavily China-centric — but whose ultimate goal is to co-exist with a strong China. In short, this longer-term strategic approach should be regarded as a survival strategy, not as a strategy focused on China outright."?
And " confrontational " is a dirty word and one way street where only China can reach into its bag of " ancient history bag " to claim the whole South China Sea ( and how many more )… but no one can? Is China the only country that suffered " century of humiliation " and none of its South and South East Asian neighbours did? Is China the only country with major league " greatness " that must be restored but the Indian, Mongolia, Khmer, Siam, Viet, Malaysia… don't?
No! China must be confronted with its "impossible goal" by the large majority of nations because this is 21st century and sometimes, war is the only reconciliation possible when dealing with the impossible?
This article confirms what the Chinese and other Asians have alleged all along: that the Japanese people as a whole is unrepentant. I hope the author publishes more of his articles on other Western media. There is nothing better than to directly hear from the Japanese point of view.
You appear to be reading into this article whatever you want to believe. Perhaps you could provide us with some evidence to support this rather bizarre assertion?

The ViewSonic VG2428wm-LEDis a Full HD LED monitor with full ergonomics and thin bezel design. With an energy efficient, higher performance LED backlit panel, the VG2428wm-LED can deliver more vibrant color and outstanding image performance. DVI and VGA connectors provide diverse input options and the 2-port USB hub gives clutter-free and convenient USB device connectivity. The slim bezel coupled with hidden stereo speakers make the VG2428wm-LED a space saver. The VESA mountable design allows users to mount the monitor to the wall or any monitor stand. The VG2428wm-LED is the ideal monitor to lower the total cost of ownership with its full ergonomics with pivot, height adjust, swivel and tilt to maximize comfort and productivity, and Viewsonic's proprietary Eco-mode which can save up 40% of power consumption. Viewsonic's industry leading pixel performance guarantee and 3-year limited warranty give you the peace of mind in your investment.
The term "LED monitor" generally refers to a monitor with a LCD panel and a LED backlight. A typical LCD monitor uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as a light source to illuminate the LCD panel. In an LED backlit monitor, white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used as the light source. Environmentally friendly LED backlights provide the following benefits:
Ergonomics is defined as the profession of designing tools and work environments to best accommodate human performance and behavior. The VG2428wm-LED is one of the great examples of an ergonomically designed tool. Based on your height, chair and desk conditions, you can adjust the monitor up and down up to 5.3", swivel 360°, or tilt 20° degrees, whatever makes you more comfortable. When designing a portrait mode image or a document (such as a flyer or a magazine page), you can rotate the monitor 90° and utilize your 24" screen size at its full extent. You can also adjust your graphics card settings so that all your graphics are rotated 90° as well.
One of the aspects that makes ViewSonic a market leader in displays is its dedication to quality. ViewSonic is committed to use the highest grade panels and offer the industries leading pixel performance policy. We also back our displays witha 3-year limited warranty for your peace of mind.
The VG2428wm-LED features DVI-D digital, and a VGA analog input. You can connect multiple sources at the same time and then toggle between them by selecting the input source through the On-Screen-Display (OSD). You can also connect one of your computer's USB ports to the monitor's USB uplink input which then multiplies the USB ports to two. This way, you can connect your keyboard / mouse or other peripherals to your monitor directly and save yourself from the hassle of reaching to your computer's USB ports.
One of the great features of VG2428wm-LED is its ability to dim the backlight completely for pure darkness during dark scenes, such as a night shot in a movie. Contrast ratios refer to the ratio of the brightest color to the darkest color. With traditional CCFL backlit displays, contrast ratios are limited to the fluorescent lamp's ability to dim, in order to reproduce darkness. However,with the LED backlight, each LED has the ability to completely shut-off allowing for a near infinite ratio of black to white contrast. The end result is true blacks that result in greater overall image quality.
The VG2428wm-LED features a 24"(23.6" viewable) widescreen with 1920x1080 resolution is capable of displaying a native Full HD 1080p image. Today, devices that can display Full HD content output are getting more and more common. However, without a native Full HD display, you will not be able to experience the picture clarity and the details of the1080p content you view.
One of the key advantages of the VG2428wm-LED monitor is its diverse connectivity options, making it flexible to be paired with a PC or a Mac computer. Now you can hook up any ViewSonic PC as well as a MacBook or a Mac Mini to the VG2428wm-LED and enjoy a full 24" (23.6" viewable) widescreen with LED backlight!
The VG2428wm-LED features a 100mm x 100mm VESA mountable design that allows you to mount it on a monitor stand or on a wall, depending on your specific needs. You can detach the base easily by unscrewing four screws and then mounting the display on its new stand or wall mount.
ViewSonic's proprietary Eco-mode function comes standard with the VG2428wm-LED. When you don't need all of the power the VG2428wm-LED has to offer, you have the option to reduce the monitor's brightness, save energy, save the planet and prolong the lamp life. You can select one of the "Optimize" or "Conserve" options and save up to 45%* energy. Especially under low ambient light conditions, adjusting the brightness will improve visibility by reducing eye fatigue. Reducing brightness will also prolong the monitor's lamp life, improving your return on investment.
With its mercury-free backlight and low energy consumption, the ENERGY STAR certified VG2439m-LED saves your electricity bill. The savings of LED can add up to thousands of dollars saved for large install bases, such as big corporate buildings or schools. The savings can be as dramatic as $20,000 in five years!

I need to do a remote card sort (with people on the other side of the Atlantic) and the setup I have had with clients here in real life has given them the opportunity to add cards themselves. This is due to the content being somewhat unspecified. So, I need to have a very similar approach for remote clients. I've found two card-sorting tools (WebSort and OptimalSort), but neither seem to have this functionality.
Does anyone know of a tool that has this function? Or, does anyone know of another approach solving my problem?

Six-six-six refers to the several sources of Obama's top six agenda items for the second term to be addressed in the "relaunch" in 2014.
What are the top six priorities for the average American today?
- Unemployment/Jobs
- Dissatisfaction with government
- Healthcare
- Federal Budget Debt/Deficit
- Ethical/moral/family decline
- Immigration/illegal aliens
Those results are from a Gallup Politics poll last summer.
Education, gun control, and poverty follow. Taxes, war, and national security are at the bottom of the list of concerns.
How does that calibrate with the President's agenda, also reported at about the same time.
- Immigration reform
- Defending and implementing Obamacare
- Free trade
- Closing Guantanamo
- Jobs and ending the sequester
- Climate change
These agenda items are from an MSN report. http://news.msn.com/us/obamas-second-term-agenda-6-key-items
One might conclude that there is a rough alignment between citizen's needs and the Obama agenda, if that is still his agenda.
Amie Parnes, The Hill, reports this morning that "Obama looks to relaunch." She says he has a "thick agenda." What is it that makes it so thick?
- Make a big push to extend federal unemployment benefits
- Push comprehensive immigration reform
- Ensure that healthcare reform
- Tax reform
- Trade agreements
- Fairness and equality
Fairness and equality is the Obama theme and the American theme, now. This doesn't appear to be too much to ask of the government to accomplish.
"Obama looks to re-launch second term bogged down in 2013
By Amie Parnes - 01/05/14 06:00 AM EST
President Obama returns to Washington on Sunday hoping to build momentum for a thick agenda that didn't go very far during the first year of his second term.
The president will have has hands full: Right off the bat, he'll be faced with questions about the rollout of ObamaCare and a major address on the NSA in the middle of January.
He'll also be making a big push to extend federal unemployment benefits as the White House seeks to make income inequality a major issue in this year's midterm elections.
After a rocky 2013 that saw his poll numbers sag, Obama will look to re-launch his second term during a State of the Union address later this month that will set the tone for the midterm elections."

College Hockey:Ryan's Hat Trick Leads Huskies Over Crimson
Guerriero Assists On All Three In Beanpot Opener
BOSTON — Husky winger Mike Ryan fittingly celebrated the Beanpot's 50th anniversary with a golden game.
Ryan's third career hat trick paved the way for Northeastern as the Huskies notched a solid 5-2 victory over Harvard at the FleetCenter in the Beanpot's early game. Freshman centerman Jason Guerriero also had the Midas touch, assisting on all three of his linemate's goals.
Freshman Keni Gibson stopped 22 Harvard shots to earn the win. Brendan Bernakevitch and Kenny Turano scored the only goals for the Crimson (9-9-3), while Ryan Dudgeon and Eric Ortlip chipped in a goal apiece for the Huskies (15-10-3).
"I thought the team played exceptionally well — made my night real easy," Gibson said.
The win gave Husky coach Bruce Crowder an opportunity to ponder the potential impact of NU's first Beanpot championship since 1988.
"There's no doubt that every time you walk around the campus at Northeastern — whether it's the people in facilities or the professors or the cook in the cafeteria — they're all giving you jabs here and there, Beanpot this, Beanpot that," Crowder said. "For us it would be fantastic for the university and the alumni. We just wanted to get in a position to play for it, and that's what we accomplished tonight.
"On our part I thought it was a pretty good team effort," Crowder added. "We ended up with a little help from everybody."
Meanwhile, Harvard coach Mark Mazzoleni praised his team's effort on the heels of a lackluster weekend road trip in New York state. The Crimson played well late in the game even when the score was well out of reach.
"In our first couple of years here, when we would get down like that we would press, and it would turn into a one-on-one circus," Mazzoleni said. "And I thought our kids stayed focused and played as a unit of five and really continued to play with each other."
After lukewarm Harvard pressure in the opening minutes, the Huskies dominated play in the first, notching six of the first seven shots on goal. Leon Hayward set up a Trevor Reschny redirect at the five-minute mark. Dov Grumet-Morris made the kick save, but the play set the stage for a few more scoring opportunities for NU.
NU's consistent pressure paid off seconds into its first power play of the game. After a clear by the Crimson, Husky goaltender Keni Gibson passed the puck to freshman Jason Guerriero at the red line near the left-wing boards. Guerriero slid the puck across the stripe to Ryan, streaking toward the offensive zone.
Ryan faked a shot to slow up Peter Capouch defending the play, then moved to his left before beating Grumet-Morris with a low 25-footer. That made it 1-0 at 9:24, though for some reason Gibson was not credited with a deserved assist.
A pair of Husky penalties yielded a handful of moderately good scoring chances for the Crimson — including a Brett Nowak wrister that Gibson didn't seem to realize that he had between his pads — but on the whole it was not a promising start for the Crimson. As usual, Harvard had to overcome the disadvantage of scheduling, as they had played a tough two-game road trip at Cornell and Colgate over the weekend while the three Hockey East teams played nearby on Friday only.
Early in the second period, though, it appeared that whatever didn't kill the Crimson would make them stronger. They knotted the game at one when Tom Cavanagh slipped a quick pass from behind the goal line to Brendan Bernakevitch for a one-timer in tight to beat Gibson at 3:25.
The Crimson also were buoyed by a flashy glove save by Grumet-Morris, who snared a Leon Hayward blast from the right-wing faceoff circle at 6:12.
But the Huskies regained the lead on a goal resembling the Harvard tally, as the Huskies' fourth line paid dividends. This time Jared Mudryk fired the pass from behind the goal line, and Ryan Dudgeon beat Grumet-Morris despite a bad angle in the left circle. It was just the second goal of the season for the centerman and undoubtedly the sweetest to date.
A power-play goal gave the Huskies a 3-1 cushion at 15:44, as Eric Ortlip picked up a Jaron Herriman pass that bounced off a Harvard defender and ended up right in the crease. Ortlip banged at it twice to knock it by the goalie, who had anticipated a pass across the slot.
Meanwhile, the crowd kept filtering in.
"Back home, playing in front of 1,000 people is a big deal," said Gibson, an Ontario native. "Matthews Arena is great, but this takes the cake for sure. As the game went on, once in a while I'd take a peek in the crowd. It seemed like there were a couple thousand more people every time I took a look."
Dominic Moore almost got one back for the Crimson in the last two minutes, but his shot went just wide.
The third period was fairly uneventful until 8:36, when the Huskies appeared to put the final nail in the coffin with the prettiest goal of the game. Skating into the Crimson end, Jason Guerriero flipped a backhanded pass to Mike Ryan on his left wing. Ryan deked to make Grumet-Morris go down, then wheeled the puck to his backhand to slip it in low glove-side.
"Guerriero is a terrific hockey player," Mazzoleni said. "You just watch him out there: He's a very, very skilled player, a tenacious competitor. He really sees the ice very well."
It was Ryan's second goal of the game and his team-leading 19th of the season. He notched the hat trick less than four minutes later, after Guerriero outfoxed Grumet-Morris with a clever backhand pass from behind the net. It started out looking like a wraparound bid, but Guerriero slipped the puck behind him to set up Ryan for a solid piece of empty netting.
That one left the Harvard coach shaking his head about the freshman centerman.
"That last pass that he made — he drew our defenseman to him and passed a saucer pass behind him to Ryan, who just buried it," Mazzoleni said. "You can see why the kid did so well last year in Texas with the North American Junior Hockey League. He's a heckuva good recruit for them."
Harvard got one back shortly afterwards when Kenny Turano buried a wrister for his first goal of the season, but it was a little late to be thinking about a comeback.
Instead, the Huskies were thinking about a shot at the title. So what did the first star of the night have to say to the younger players gearing up for the Beanpot?
"The main thing I just tell them is that you don't want to play in the consolation game," Ryan said.
No worries — for the junior left winger, it was as easy as one-two-three.

No, sorry, I'm not giving away 100 books. Instead, I've got one copy of the new book The 100 Books Every Blues Fan Should Own by archivists Edward Komara and Greg Johnson. The books outlines, like the title says, the 100 best Blues books that should be in your library. Each book gets an entry that tells you about the book and why it is important.
To enter, just leave a comment with your favorite Blues artist and I'll be drawing one random winner from the bunch and announcing it next Wednesday (2/26). Good luck!

Are you watching for Watch the Throne? Wow, we feel like bringing you some books or maybe a care package. It's got cover art, you can pre-order it, and the ship date on the receipts says it'll be out August 2. But none of these translate into hearing the thing–that is, unless you're Big Sean or Angie Martinez! Here's your afternoon roundup of rubbing it in:
- Of course Big Sean has heard Watch the Throne, because he was there during the recording. What can he teach us about the album? It has "good-ass songs" (no word on whether it has good ass-songs), and it has an intro "like, damn!" Noted.
- Hot 97′s Angie Martinez has also gotten, in her words, an "ear hustle" of Watch the Throne, and informs us that Frank Ocean's appearance is "impressive" and that the album is "exciting" and "really big." Also noted.
- A full tracklisting is also out there, although it's unverified, it's kinda old, it lacks said Frank Ocean appearance (if he's behind the scenes, like on Beyonce's 4, why would that constitute an "impressive" adjective?), and we're thinking Bruno Mars is a tiny bit out of his depth if this is real. According to Def Jam, it's ten tracks, and "H.A.M." and "Lift Off" are two of them. But here's the leaked list anyway:
1. Lift Off (Feat. Beyonce & Bruno Mars)
2. Murder To Excellence
3. Illest Motherfucker Alive
4. Why I Love You So (Guilt Trip)
5. That Shit Crazy
6. Living So Italian
7. Who Gonna Stop Me
8. Whole Lifetime
9. We Are Young
10. Anthem
In summary: We're looking forward to the day when we can embed a different video.

Opera has already settled a lawsuit against former employee Trond Werner Hansen. Hansen was accused of taking trade secrets and proprietary information from Opera and giving them to Mozilla after he left the company. While Hansen says that the lawsuit has been settled, he can't specify the details.
But I'm very happy it's over and look forward to being able to focus on my music and other projects again.
Opera also confirmed that a settlement was reached, but would not speak specifics:
I can confirm that the case against Trond Werner Hansen has been dropped by Opera by reaching an agreement which has been satisfactory to both parties.
We previously reported about this lawsuit when it was first filed. At the time, Opera alleged that Hansen provided information to Mozilla that he wasn't entitled to give. Hansen, meanwhile, contended that he didn't break any laws or contractual obligations.

Todos Santos Cuchumatán, Guatemala
By Sheila Mary Koch
Todos Santos Cuchumatán is located at 9000 ft. in the Cuchumatanes Mountains, approximately 8 hours from Guatemala City. The majority of area inhabitants are of Mayan lineage and the predominant language spoken is Mam, a Maya dialect. It is one of the places where most people still wear traditional dress called Tipicos and practice the ways of their ancestors. Some of Guatemala's best weaving is done here.
People are the main attraction of Todos Santos. Throughout Guatemala and beyond, post cards and tour books feature the faces of Todos Santeros (males) wearing their distinctive red pants, dark blue chaps and striped shirts with ornately embroidered collars.
Travelers come here to immerse themselves in this rich culture that dates back thousands of years. In the streets of Todos Santos, the xylophone-like wooden marimba is played. In the last decade, language schools have developed here giving travelers more to do and villagers more income.
Buses leave the Huehuetenago (Huehue) bus station between 11:30 am and 3:00 p.m. daily. The fastest bus leaves at 12:15. Buses back to Huehue start leaving Todos Santos at 6:00 am. On market day, the schedule shifts to suit whomever is driving that day and most of the buses are busy carrying people to and from the local villages.
The best way to get around is by foot. The whole town comprises one main street, one cross street and a few small side streets.
Market day every Saturday attracts people from all over region who come down from the mountains to sell their goods from chicks and vegetables to yarn and fabrics. Many tourist groups come from Quezaltenango (known as Xela) and Antigua for market day.
The area is also excellent for hiking. Torre, the highest peak in Guatemala, is a three-hour hike. From the top, you can see five of Guatemala's volcanoes and even Mexico. Both language schools do weekly hikes there. The trailhead is reached off the highway 15 minutes outside town by bus. You can ask the driver to point it out. The quaint mountain village of San Juan Atitán is a 5-hour hike from the center of town. Continue down the town's main road past the soccer field for a couple miles to reach the river.
Dia de Todos Santos on November 1 is famous for its horse race and traditional dancing. In the race, participants ride bareback from one point to another, taking a drink at each stop. The winner is the last person to fall off his horse.
By foot, you can reach the Tuj Qman Txun Mayan ceremonial ruins located 10 minutes from the town center. Compared to other archaeological sights in Guatemala, Tuj Qman Txun is humble but worth the uphill trek.
The chuj bath is one of the simple pleasures of life in Todos Santos. You will notice that all the homes in the village have a small, low-to the ground mud brick structure outside. This is the chuj where family members clean themselves. Like a sauna, a wood fire is built under the pile of
rocks inside. When the smoke has cleared, the chuj is ready for the bather to crawl inside. A caldron of water is placed in the fire to heat. Another cold pot of water is placed inside along with an empty vessel to mix the two to a comfortable temperature.
Language Schools
There are two major language schools in Todos Santos that teach Spanish, Mam and coordinate weaving classes with local women. These schools are actively involved in the community and use a portion of their profits for social programs such as reforestation, educational scholarships, purchasing library books, and women's collectives. The teachers teach in the local elementary school during the mornings so language classes start at 2 p.m.
Both schools are similarly priced, offer the same subjects and come highly recommended by former students. If you are interested in studying in Todos Santos, visit both schools to see which one best suits your taste. Even if you don't enroll, take advantage of the daily and nightly cultural
programs that are available at a small cost to non-students.
- Nuevo Amanecer
- Proyecto Linguístico Español/Mam
The language schools also provide wonderful opportunities to meet people who practice Mam traditions. They facilitate visits with medicine people, shamans, videntes and talks with community elders who share about the past. For example, one 80-year-old gentleman spoke of the days when everyone traveled for days by foot to work in the fincas (plantations). The schools also provide informational programs about the more recent history made by the country's tragic civil war in the early 80s. Since danger still exists for people who speak out against the government's actions during that time, you might notice conflicting stories coming from different sources. Keep in mind that Guatemalans outside their country have more freedom to speak than people still living there.
By far, the best lodging is in the homes of Mayan families. Simple meals are provided with lodging. Such home stays can be arranged through the language schools. It is also possible to stay with a Spanish speaking or Ladino family. (Ladino is the commonly-used term for mestizos.) Of course, there is a great range of possibility when staying with a family depending on the size of the family and location of the house. Generally, running water isn't available in the homes. There is no luxury lodging available in Todos Santos. Four simple guesthouses called hospedajes with shared baths are also available. Private rooms can sell out so be prepared to share. Children greet the buses and will guide travelers to accommodations. Some homes are available for long-term rental. The language schools and information center as you come into town are good resources for such alternatives.
Comedor Kati serves very tasty fresh vegetable soup, chicken, beans and rice.
Comedor Karen on the other side of the main road likewise has a fixed menu.
The town's only bar (also information center as you come into town) serves pizza and hot sandwiches.The women's bakery collective outside town bakes fresh bread on Thursday mornings. Ask at Nuevo Amanecer for details.
Market day on Saturday and Thursday.
The cooperative (across the street from Proyecto Linguisitco) and Supertienda de Tipicos (next to Comedor Kati) sell woven goods and traditional embroidered clothes. Supertienda shoppers are invited out to the back porch for a beautiful view of the village.
There are no telephone lines in Todos Santos. The post office in the town center has telegraph service. Huehue has the closest Internet access, ATMs and Western Union offices. Note that cash can be hard to get from ATMs in Guatemala if you don't have the PLUS symbol on your card.
It gets really cold after the sun goes down. Bring a sleeping bag and warm clothes including a winter hat especially in January and February. Expect rain and mud May through October. Take photos after asking (an adult) if it's okay. They may ask for payment.

Price regimes and India's current account gap
Author: Ashima Goyal, IGIDR
India's current account deficit (CAD) rose to a record 6.7 per cent of GDP in the last quarter of 2012.
That is clearly unsustainable. But an effective cure must address the roots of the problem, for which a correct diagnosis is essential.
There are several possible explanations for such a rise in the CAD.Excess demand cannot be responsible for the higher CAD when GDP growth has fallen to below six per cent and industry is actually experiencing excess capacity.
It is possible that the high fiscal deficit (FD) is raising demand. But the government, pushed by fears of rating downgrades, has made a serious effort to reduce the FD. In the last quarter of 2012, growth in government consumption fell to 1.9 per cent, from 8 per cent in the preceding quarter, while growth in community, social and personal services, which is largely impacted by government consumption, fell from 7.5 to 5.4 per cent.
If the fall in the FD reduced growth but not the CAD, it implies government expenditure creates demand largely for non-tradable goods, not for imported goods. So excess demand may be a problem only in agriculture, where supply rigidities prevent expansion to keep up with rising demand for food. Government consumption contributes to this.
There is also a speculation-based argument, which says that if interest rates do not adequately compensate for, or are even set below, inflation rates, the resulting low/negative real interest rates encourage borrowings and imports. This leads to a higher CAD. But this argument is not credible either given that credit growth was low in the recent period. India's CAD has also never been high in high-growth periods, when one would expect higher domestic demand to raise net imports.
If domestic absorption or aggregate demand is not responsible for the CAD, the problem might lie in imports being cheap and exports not sufficiently profitable. In that case, wouldn't a depreciation of the rupee help?
This argument, again, has limits. The CAD was only around 1 per cent of GDP during India's high-growth period in the mid-2000s, when the rupee was actually appreciating. After the steep depreciation following the 2008 global financial crisis, the CAD rose to about 3 percent of GDP and stayed there until 2011.Then, as the rupee fell against the dollar, from Rs 44 in July 2011 to Rs 54–55 levels, the CAD went up to over 3 per cent. Despite substantial real depreciation, export growth slowed more than import growth. To that extent, the cheaper rupee only worsened the CAD, implying that import and export demand are largely inelastic to exchange rate movements.
Another explanation points to capital flows. It says that higher capital flows lead to higher CADs, since the balance of payments must add up to zero. But this argument falls into the classic Immaculate Transfer doctrine trap. True, the capital and the current account must equal the change in reserves, but that does not mean one is directly causing the other. CAD outcomes are the result of various other macroeconomic adjustments, including in foreign exchange reserves, output, exchange and interest rates. Whatever these adjustments were, capital inflows definitely did not cause the current widening of the CAD. On the contrary, just when the CAD widened in 2011, there were capital outflows that made it difficult to finance the CAD.
A more promising explanation for rising CAD levels emphasises supply shocks that sustained high inflation over the 2007–13 period, alongside lower growth. These shocks, by impacting real incomes and generating low real returns, reduced financial savings in the economy.
The first of these cost shocks was the spiralling of global food and oil prices in 2008. Their slow release through the system owing to poorly administered price regimes kept inflation high. Capital outflows-driven rupee depreciation sustained these shocks, even when international commodity prices softened.
In 2011–2, the CAD rose by 1.5 percentage points to 4.2 per cent of GDP from 2.7 per cent the previous year. Investment fell from 36.8 to 35 per cent, but savings fell even more, from 34 to 30.8 per cent. The widening of the CAD must equal the excess of the fall in savings over the fall in investment — which is what we see here.
Within savings itself, the largest fall was in the household financial savings component: 2.4 percentage points. This, together with a 0.7 percentage point fall in the corporate savings–GDP ratio, almost covers the rise in CAD and fall in investment. In fact, the increase in household physical savings by 1.2 percentage points almost offset the 1.3 percentage point fall in public sector savings of 1.3 percentage points, as both largely impact non-traded goods.
These financial aspects were reflected in trade statistics. Inelastic demand for oil in the absence of local price pass-through, and for gold given the absence of other inflation hedges, widened the CAD. If imports of oil and gold are subtracted from the trade deficit, India actually recorded a trade surplus in this period.
What all this highlights is the inadequacies of the policy of freer import competition without building export capacity, which leads to import growth exceeding that of exports. An example of this is India's per container trade costs, which are more than twice the East Asia average. The intensification of the European crisis lowered export demand, just as domestic supply bottlenecks raised coal imports. The real story is thus sectoral. Aggregate policy instruments such as interest and exchange rates are constrained — interest rates by their opposite effects on savings and investment, and exchange rates by their opposite effects on export demand and import costs. The correct policy response requires concerted supply-side action to reduce costs, along with a dismantling of the administered pricing regime.
Lower inflation and a better menu of savings instruments can revive financial savings. Better export capacity must be matched by a diversification of export destinations.

I love Franklin Einspruch's snarky take on Odd Nerdrum's paintings at Forum Gallery. Warming to Nerdrum's new work, Einspruch reports in the NY Sun that the Norwegian painter studied with Joseph Beuys. Who knew? His review ran in April and the show is already down, but here's an excerpt and some images from the gallery's website:
Odd Nerdrum exemplifies a widespread problem in contemporary realism: its practitioners have as much skill as anyone could ask for, but little to say with it, and the more drama they try to infuse into their work, the more histrionic the results. Nearly every Nerdrum I have ever seen struck me, at first, as fundamentally silly. I understand the temptation to reach into narrative in order to give a sense of purpose to a figurative scene, but why this post-apocalyptic Renaissance fair? Read more.

As the temperature drops, Panhandle residents are starting to use their heaters, maybe for the first time this season.
But others turn to alternative sources of heat, which can sometimes be dangerous.
They could be exposing themselves and their families to a deadly gas.
"In our business we call it the silent killer."
It's called carbon monoxide and it kills thousands of people every year.
Marianna fire official Nicky Lovett most cases happen during the winter when people are trying to stay warm.
"A lot of times families who can't afford to pay there heating bill will turn the stove on the gas stove."
With the heat from the stove comes the deadly gas, carbon monoxide.
Misused appliances aren't the only dangers.
Jackson County Hospital's Murray Baker says almost every heating product produces carbon monoxide.
"Space heaters are the most common thing someone needs a space heater and they put it in the house and the levels go up over night while they're sleep."
As carbon monoxide fills the air it eats up the oxygen the body needs to survive, baker says it attacks the muscles first.
"The lack of oxygen causes things like seizures, cardiac arrest, and death."
The effects of carbon monoxide poisoning isn't the only reason officials are concerned, baker says it's also dangerous because it's undetectable.
"It's a colorless, odorless gas so you don't know you being exposed."
According to baker carbons monoxide poisoning can be mistaken for the flu.
"The symptoms are vague, headache weakness nausea, and they can progress rapidly after that to being to being unconscious."
But protection is available.
Many home smoke detectors also detect carbon monoxide fumes.
Lovett says it's a necessity for every home.
"If you have propane or natural gas in your home you defiantly need a carbon monoxide detector."
Carbon monoxide smoke alarms generally cost more than a regular smoke alarm, but it could save your life.
For more tips on protecting your family from carbon monoxide poisoning go to the environmental protection agency's web site at www.epa.gov.

|Remember you can enlarge the pictures to see them in greater detail by "clicking" on the them.
The Danish M/1867 bayonet was made in Germany, in Solingen, by different manufacturers to accompany the, at the time, newly acquired Remington Rolling Block Riffle.
In the aftermath of the devastating defeat against the Germans in 1864, the Danish army needed urgent modernisation. Politicians had believed the old equipment that secured the "victory" in the war of 1848-50 against Prussia had been sufficient to secure the southern border and the Duchies of Slesvig and Holsten yet again. But the riffled muskets and artillery had proven fatally outdated against the more modern German army. Although stiff resistance was put up, the weapons in the Danish arsenal could not compete with the range, accuracy and rate of fire the combined German forces could muster.
One of the many new acquisitions for the Danish army post 1864, was a breech loading riffle. We chose the US Remington Rolling Block.
The bayonet that accompanied this riffle was a Yataghan style bayonet. The French were the first to make a Yataghan style bayonet in the 1840's. The bayonet shape is based on the North African Yataghan sword, with its distinct curved blade. There is many thoeries on why they chose the Yataghan style blade. 1) The curve ensured that the blade was out of the bullet trajectory. 2) The Yataghan style was the best compromise between a thrusting weapon (bayonet) and a slashing weapon (sword) in the armies where soldiers up until then had carried infantry swords as well as bayonets, thus eliminating the need for both side-arms. 3) a purely stylistic choice.
In the end, the style became a major success. Almost all the worlds bayonet using countries fielded a Yataghan style bayonet at some time or another.
Metal fittings on the scabbard is made of steel. In Danish the fittings are called: "dupskoen" (the bottom part). The top part is called "mundblik".
The bayonet is of the second pattern, produced post 1884 - 1885.
In the 1885 they decided the press button in the locking mechanism should be made of steel.
Serial number, and makers mark. This particular bayonet is made by the company Alex Coppel. A quick google search should be able to give you a short company history.
Crown stamp next to the locking mechanism.
The holes in the carrier, is for a corresponding button on the belt issued.
The soliders were able to button the bayonet in place on the belt, thus minimising the possibility the bayonet would slide on the belt, and end up an undesirable place, for instance on the back.

Nice job bears!!! great football season. Really good photos too!
This is a wonderfully done inDesign! Very good job for your first time, Emily!
really great photo layout Emily!
The multiple photos really capture the players character and determination! InDesign is a hard program to figure out, so props to you, Emily. M-A U KNOW!
Congratulations to the football team for a solid season. Though some great seniors are leaving, hopefully next year's team can continue their tradition.
It's too bad the bears lost to sequoia, but all and all they had a pretty strong season. I was sad to attend my final Friday Night Lights game of high school.

Wow these photos look awesome! They really capture the "under the lights" atmosphere of a lot of the games. Well written too.
Wow, cool layout! I hope to see more indesign pieces in the future. Huge congrats to the football team's great season!
This was a very nice game. Great pictures Georgia!
Awesome layout. I'm glad the bears had a successful season this year!
It's too bad they didn't get very far into the playoffs, but it was still a great season.
NIce season, these pictures are real nice. It's to bad that the bears lost to sequoia, but hey, they put up a valid effort. A for effort.
