Queen Hillary?
Political rent-seeking and her expected coronation.
The New York Times gave us an amusing juxtaposition earlier this week. Editorialist David Firestone sang the praises of Hillary Clinton's deceptive and pandering speech in which she denounced measures against voter fraud, and he called on Mrs. Clinton to mount another favorite Times hobbyhorse:
Campaign finance issues deserve a speech just as impassioned as the one on voting rights, and it will be interesting to see if Ms. Clinton devotes more time to the subject than President Obama has.
Building a campaign around these kinds of issues particularly non-partisan redistricting and easy registration--has always been seen as too narrow and too wonky for a major candidate. But Ms. Clinton's political future, not to mention the health of her party and her country, depend on someone taking them on and not letting go. And should Ms. Clinton succeed Mr. Obama, she will encounter precisely the same kind of blanket opposition in the House unless she starts trying to change it now.
Firestone is confusing his categories here: Redistricting and voter registration are not "campaign finance issues," and while the federal government has broad authority to regulate registration, redistricting is almost entirely a state prerogative. The Voting Rights Act does give the feds some involvement in redistricting, but it cuts in the opposite direction of "nonpartisan redistricting": Washington presses states to create "majority minority" districts. Given current voting patterns, that leads to a concentration of Democratic voters, making surrounding districts easier for Republicans to carry.
But what intrigues us is the way in which laws restricting political speech--in the areas of both campaign finance and taxation--are vital to, as Firestone puts it, "Ms. Clinton's political future."
We noted Tuesday that Mrs. Clinton is using her sinecure at the Clinton Foundation--a charity that is fully tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the tax code--as a "formal apparatus" to prepare for a prospective campaign for president in 2016. Yesterday's Times features a lengthy investigative report on the foundation:
Soon after the 10th anniversary of the foundation bearing his name, Bill Clinton met with a small group of aides and two lawyers from Simpson Thacher & Bartlett. Two weeks of interviews with Clinton Foundation executives and former employees had led the lawyers to some unsettling conclusions.
The review echoed criticism of Mr. Clinton's early years in the White House: For all of its successes, the Clinton Foundation had become a sprawling concern, supervised by a rotating board of old Clinton hands, vulnerable to distraction and threatened by conflicts of interest. It ran multimillion-dollar deficits for several years, despite vast amounts of money flowing in. . . .
Worried that the foundation's operating revenues depend too heavily on Mr. Clinton's nonstop fund-raising, the three Clintons are embarking on a drive to raise an endowment of as much as $250 million, with events already scheduled in the Hamptons and London. . . .
And efforts to insulate the foundation from potential conflicts have highlighted just how difficult it can be to disentangle the Clintons' charity work from Mr. Clinton's moneymaking ventures and Mrs. Clinton's political future, according to interviews with more than two dozen former and current foundation employees, donors and advisers to the family. Nearly all of them declined to speak for attribution, citing their unwillingness to alienate the Clinton family.
Difficult it no doubt is. It would be insurmountable if the Clintons (Bill in particular) lacked the star power that makes raising a $250 million endowment a feasible goal. That kind of money will enable the Clintons to buy the legal expertise to make sure everything they do complies with the letter of the law--no matter how shady it may seem to use a 501(c)(3) charity as a political vehicle.
No wonder that, as Politico reports, other prospective Democratic presidential candidates are despairing: "The Democratic field has largely been frozen in place as party leaders give near-total deference to [Mrs.] Clinton, the former secretary of state who is a prohibitive favorite in early Democratic primary polling. . . . For any non-Clinton Democrat, exploring the 2016 election is something of an exercise in perceived futility."
To be sure, the Clinton Foundation's wealth isn't the only reason Mrs. Clinton looms far larger than any of her prospective opponents. The field is somewhat weak owing to the Democrats' disastrous performance in the 2010 election. (Republicans had the same problem in 2008 and 2012.) Unless you count Joe Biden, Mrs. Clinton is the only prospective candidate who has previously run for president.
And of course, she was thought inevitable in 2008. Then again, back then, according to the Times, her husband's foundation "found itself competing against Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign for donors amid a recession." For now, the foundation and the "campaign" are one and the same, and one expects that if Mrs. Clinton begins a formal campaign some two years hence, it and the foundation will operate much more harmoniously this time around.
On Tuesday we asked if the Internal Revenue Service would investigate the Clinton Foundation for evidently acting as a front group for a political campaign. The question was facetious; as we wrote, the Obama IRS only goes after little guys.
The biggest problem with the IRS scandal, of course, is that it involved viewpoint discrimination: Conservative groups were at far greater risk than liberal ones of intrusive scrutiny. That is why one cannot rule out the possibility that the 2012 election was stolen on Obama's behalf.
Democrats have tried to wave this problem away by pointing to a handful of unlucky lefties that got caught in the net. The scandal would be less severe if the IRS had in fact been evenhanded in its persecution of small political groups. But it would still have been a problem for American democracy, and the Clinton Foundation story shows why.
By their nature, complex and burdensome regulations on political speech--whether in campaign finance statutes or in the tax code--are easier to comply with when you have a lot of money and can afford to hire the best legal talent. Just as in the private marketplace, regulation gives incumbents a huge advantage over upstart challengers.
Technically, Mrs. Clinton is not an incumbent, but the Clintons' dynastic strategizing has given her the advantages of incumbency and then some. If she turns out to be the 45th president, she will owe her position in large part to rent-seeking. David Firestone is right to say that her political future depends on "campaign finance issues." He's dead wrong to suggest that puts her somehow on the side of good government.
The Lighter Side of ObamaCare
DiversityInc.com has an amusing story about ObamaCare:
A Florida congressman says a provision of the Affordable Care Act is racist because it discriminates against customers based on skin color.
Proving that it's not always sunny in the Sunshine State, Representative Ted Yoho told the crowd at a town-hall meeting in Gainesville, Fla., that he and House Speaker John Boehner had a conversation about the 10 percent tax on indoor tanning and agreed that it discriminates against white people. "He goes, 'I didn't know it was in there,' and I said, 'Yes, it's a 10 percent tax.'" Yoho told the crowd, recalling the exchange. "He goes, 'Well, that's not that big of a deal.' I said, 'It's a racist tax.' He goes, 'You know what? It is.' "
The complaint of racism--assuming it's meant seriously--strikes us as overwrought. But the story did get us to thinking. Doesn't the fact that persons of pallor feel socially pressured to spend money and risk their health making their skin darker pretty much demolish the whole notion of "white privilege"?
Picking a Nit
The Puffington Host's Rebecca Klein reports on--and engages in--some hilarious feminist histrionics:
North Carolina House Majority Leader Paul "Skip" Stam had some choice words Monday for the state's superintendent of public instruction--words that he would most likely reconsider if the schools chief were a man.
Stam's comment came after the superintendent, June Atkinson, expressed her belief to reporters that private schools and public schools in the state should take the same standardized tests. He said she should focus on her mandate of helping public schools, according to North Carolina outlet The News & Observer.
"She should stick to her own knitting," Stam said.
However, as ThinkProgress points out, Stam's comment not only has "sexist implications" but also "ignores the fact that education is Atkinson's proverbial 'knitting.' "
Oh dear, this is why there is a need for mansplaining. (Which, by the way, was invented by a man.) You see, "stick to your knitting" is not meant to be taken literally. It's a figure of speech, popular in the (until recently male-dominated) business world, that means to focus on what one does well. And it's clear from the context that what Stam meant by Atkinson's "knitting" was public education.
We hope nobody will accuse us of nitpicking, which by the way is a gendered term, since a nit is an egg.
Perhaps the ThinkProgs and PuffHosts are confused by the definition of "literally." Gizmodo.com reports that Google has just defined that word as follows: "Used to acknowledge that something is not literally true but is used for emphasis or to express strong feeling."
That definition is not only contradictory but poses an infinite-recursion problem. If literally means that something is not literally true, then it means that it is literally true, which in turn means it is not literally true, and so on ad infinitum. Call it the Illiterate's Paradox.

The Savioress?
Hillary Clinton can save the world, argues Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker, whether seriously or not we cannot say:
Let's begin with a working (and provable) premise: Women, if allowed to be fully equal to men, will bring peace to the planet. This is not so far-fetched a notion. One, men have been at it for thousands of years, resulting in millions and millions of corpses. Two, countries where women are most oppressed and abused are also the least stable.
Three, as women become more empowered, especially financially, countries become more stable. When women have money, they can feed their families, get health care, educate their children, start businesses and so on. The ripple effect is stronger families, stronger communities and ultimately saner nations.
Note that Parker is not confident enough with her premise merely to state it: She goes on to offer three arguments in support of it, all of which are textbook examples of the cum hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.
Further, even if you accept the premise, there is no obvious connection between women's being "allowed to be fully equal to men" and Mrs. Clinton's becoming president. Some degree of equality obviously is a necessary condition for Mrs. Clinton to become president--a female president would have been a practical impossibility, if not a legal one, in, say, the 19th century--but full equality is neither necessary nor sufficient.
Prompted by the Parker column, Mediaite.com reports, "Morning Joe guest and advertising executive Donny Deutsch quickly found himself in the deep end of a discussion on Hillary Clinton and gender Wednesday morning":
He argued that while a female president would promote a more pacific foreign policy, she would be hamstrung by male opponents who would exploit her less aggressive agenda--a thesis the rest of the panel strongly rebuked. . . .
"There's only one challenge in it," Deutsch said. "Problem: we have a woman, but our enemies are still on the opposite side of the equation. I don't think the al Qaedas of the world are going to be headed by women, so it falls apart a little bit. Women plus women equals a win to me. Women and still men on the other side of the table? Theoretically the world would be a better place with women running it. It doesn't solve the problem."
"Nobody is assuming women are going to parachute into Afghanistan," Alex Wagner replied.
"If you have two women down to negotiate something, it's going to get done without bullets," Deutsch said. "On our side of the equation, we solve it, but there's a world that's still [a] century behind in our evolutionary state or progressive state in how we feel about women."
"I'm trying to decide whether to ask you to explain yourself," Mika Brzezinski said.
Hey, we thought the word was "mansplain." Anyway, it's pretty obvious that Deutsch is invoking the classic Prisoner's Dilemma, in which it is in both parties' long-term interest to cooperate but either party can get a short-term advantage by failing to cooperate--assuming the adversary is cooperative. Accepting Parker's sex stereotypes--that women are cooperators and men are not--leadership by women is advantageous only if one's adversaries are also led by women.

We have analyzed the impact of Section 6 of The Kenya HIV and AIDS Prevention Act on Kenyan families and especially within marriage. In 2006 Kenya passed two bills into law: The Kenya HIV and AIDS Prevention Act and The Sexual Offences Act. The latter addresses sexual offenses including rape, incest and other acts of sexual violence and relates to the Prevention Act in that HIV infection may be transmitted during a sexual offense. Section 6 of the Prevention Act focuses on the sensitive issue of secondary and tertiary transmission of HIV. Although protection is accorded to individuals living with HIV, this section of the law places responsibility on this group to reduce infections among positive individuals as well as the spread of infection between spouses {when only one partner is positive} by criminalizing recklessness leading to HIV infection. By asking questions proposed in the family impact analysis such as, does the law enhance family stability, and commitment or does it acknowledge diverse family forms, interdependence and target vulnerable groups, the framework allows us to examine the impact of Section 6 of the law on families. Under the FIA framework, the ability of The Prevention Act to enhance family functions, promote wellbeing, marital stability, commitment and responsibility is considered while taking into account the contextual realities in Kenya.

Having missed Bruce Springsteen's two-hour set in Asbury Park last Saturday, I decided to catch up with Jersey's other rock star, Chris Christie.
A natural performer, he has conducted 70 town-hall meetings since becoming governor two years ago, but the Voorhees event was Christie's first ever in a mall. It was a Town Mall meeting! Also, the launch of the 10 percent Tax Cut/Christie for President 2016 tour.
The governor's staff advised arriving an hour early. Really, to discuss the budget? But, yes, 90 minutes before Christie's arrival there wasn't a seat left at the event wedged between Macy's and Bath & Body Works (Introducing Escape to the Tropics).

I am attempting to lock down a Fedora 19 install so that the user is locked in to a full screen version of Firefox. This can be achived with an number of addons for Firefox. I also need to lock down the desktop environment in the event that Firefox crashes.
I am using the Xfce desktop environment (as it is less resource hungry than gnome). Obviously this lockdown task needs to be completed via the command line so it can be included within the initial setup scripts.
Examples of lockdowns:
- Remove all panels
- Disable right click
- Remove desktop icons
- Disable Ctrl+Alt+F1/F2
- Disable hotkeys Alt+tab / Alt+F4
So far I am unable to find any documentation on how to perform these changes via the command line. The Xfce website provides very limited documentation about their 'kiosk mode' -> http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/kiosk_mode which appears to be pointing in the right direction, however is incomplete.
Has anyone had experience with locking down the Xfce desktop environment, or any other environment?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to Justiceline, ThinkProgress Justice's morning round-up of the latest legal news and developments. Remember to follow us on Twitter at @TPJustice.
- As a sign of the Obama Administration's seriousness about striking down the unconstitutional Defense Against Marriage Act, DOJ sent Assistant Attorney General Tony West to argue against the anti-gay law's constitutionality in federal court.
- The judge in that case, Bush-appointed Judge Jeffrey S. White, appeared very skeptical of the unconstitutional law in questions to counsel.
- Meanwhile, a gay rights group in California is gathering signatures to place repeal of that state's anti-gay Proposition 8 on the ballot.
- An Indiana judge will consider whether that state's school voucher law unconstitutionally funds religious education.
- Florida is facing a judge shortage of its own.
- An Alabama appeals court reversed a decision striking down a state ethics law as unconstitutional.
- A Virginia judge denied the state senate's Democrats an injunction preventing the senate Republicans from organizing the evenly divided body as a GOP senate, although the judge indicated that the matter could come up again after the new senate convenes.

Tips To Keeping Your Walls White
Many homeowners love the look of a fresh, crisp white wall in lieu of bright paint colors or wallpaper. However, the problem with white walls is that every smudge and mark looks much worse against the bright white color. So, what to do when your daily life leaves some smudges and smears or, for those of us with small children, a tiny handprint, on your white walls? I'll skip the lecture that begins with, "Why in the world would you have anything white in a house with chidren?" and go straight to the solution to the problem.
Step 1: Preparation
It is important to prep the surface by removing any loose dust from the wall before you add moisture. If you have a big cleaning job ahead of you, lay down some old sheets to catch any excess water. Do not use a plastic tarp as it will just become slippery with water, increasing the potential for injury.
Step 2: Technique
When washing walls, drips are impossible to prevent. Avoid these issues by washing your walls from the bottom up. Although you will drip onto already clean areas, a quick wipe with the sponge will fix it easily.
Step 3: Get Started Cleaning
You want to start with the gentlest method possible first, so grab a bucket of water and a soft cloth and gently wipe the offensive markings. If your efforts are not successful, move on to the next suggestion.
Carl Minchew, the director of product development at Benjamain Moore, advises using a solution of water and liquid dish soap with a soft cloth to try and remove the dirt. Let's hope that this is enough to provide an effective clean-up, but if it is not, you will need to try more aggressive cleaners.
An All Purpose Cleaning Degreaser should provide the power you need to clean up that wall, and it just so happens that CleanItSupply.com carries these items at wholesale prices. But, remember to gently rub the surface as forceful scrubbing may take off some of the paint.
A foam cleaning pad like the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is also recommended by The American Cleaning Institute as another gentle approach to removing stubborn marks and smudges.
Follow these simple instructions and you will be able to keep your white walls looking as crisp and clean as they day you first painted them.

Quoting mobilegirl81:
my job stupidly sent me from tallahassee to milton to get a contract signed (before the storm hit)for a grant, and I got caught in the evacuation mess. I-10 was still shut down with traffic backed up for hours from Ike? another storm a year before I think, anyway, my car kept overheating waiting in the long lines of traffic so to get back to tallahassee I went north and had to go almost to montgomery before I could get back to the panhandle. It was a nightmare. i always make sure I dont have to wait in traffic in a car prone to overheating or be on the road without gas when a storm is coming now.

The Holy Grail of Saint Paul
Every winter since 1952, thousands of pick- and shovel-wielding loonies have descended on the river bluffs, parks, and streets in and around St. Paul. Their goal is to find the St. Paul Winter Carnival medallion, and they do everything in their power to unearth it--including waiting in line at midnight outside the St. Paul Pioneer Press offices, so as to buy the next day's paper and the clues to the hunt.
Over the years the prize money has increased from $1,000 to $10,000, but the winners will tell you they're not really in it for the money. The medallion hunters do it for the glory and the thrill of the chase. Here are six who've touched Minnesota's version of the Holy Grail.
Merrilla Paulson
found at Seventh and Robert Streets
I was 37; I'm 85 now. I went out the night before and got the early edition [of the St. Paul Dispatch] on Rice Street. And I came back and my children--the boy was 14 and the girl was 12 and the baby was two months--they said this lady down the street called me and she said she didn't drive but she knew where it was and would I drive her. So I did.
But when we got there, it wasn't where she thought it was. I went to where I thought it was and there it was. Magnetized in this big condo [electrical] pipe underneath a little mailbox on Seventh and Robert.
"Oh! A bat!" I hollered, because this thing just flew off. It fell down on the street. And this woman came running and she picked it up and she hollered, "Ooh! I found it! I found it!" And these people came running, and I was like, "How am I going to get it back from her?" because she had it.
These people were following us and talking to us and we'd walked a while and so I walked up to her and I said, "I found it." And with that, she handed it back to me.
I got in a cab and I looked like a lumberjack. I had the scarf around my head, and this lantern, and this big condo pipe, or whatever you call it. And I went to the Dispatch building. I had it in my pocket, and the certificate that [said] I found it was there. I wanted to go to the police station, because I was scared someone would take it. My picture was in the paper the next day, and it was just the biggest splash.
I was a housewife. We had just built a new home in Midway Park. There was some big talk that came out, "Oh, they've got money, they don't need the money," and all this stuff. I went to church, I had a fur coat, but my husband worked at the Ford Motor [company] and bought the fur coat for me for Christmas, you know? I just ignored all that and was just happy I found it.
It's still exciting. I've been looking for it since the first year, and I still go out looking every year. When your paper comes out, I'm going to underline it and give it to my grandchildren and say, "That's your grandmother."
Mary Jane Hilsgen
found at Beaver Lake (Lincoln) Park
I was with Lucy Hansen--she was a friend of our family--and her five-year-old daughter, Donna. Her husband and my dad were policemen, that's how we knew each other. It was in a brick. We both found it; it was pretty exciting.
The night before, my parents and I had gone out looking. The clue that gave us the location was Leave It to Beaver, and we knew it was at Beaver Lake. It was a beautiful day, in the 40s, with the snow melting. We found it at about nine in the morning, just after Lucy sent her kids off to school.
I was a freshman in high school at St. Joseph's Academy. Back then, $2,500 was a lot of money. You were a celebrity for a day. The [St. Paul Winter] Carnival was very exciting at that time. I had always gone out with my dad, looking. We went back to Lucy's house, and my parents came over, and we were interviewed by the radio and the newspaper. They took our pictures and gave us the money. I bought a set of encyclopedias and banked some of it and later used it for nursing school. I'd compare it to the birth of my three children or getting married.
We don't look for it so much now, having moved out of St. Paul. We're in Woodbury now, and as you get older, it's not as interesting. You don't have the time when you're working. Lucy lives in Arizona now; we haven't been in contact for years. They were friends of my parents. I don't even have her address.
Chris Bunde
found at Phalen Park
My cousin [Todd Bunde] and our friends Mike [Hurley] and Jim [Zielinski] had looked for it with our parents 10 years before, when we were kids. That's how we got the bug. I've looked for it every year since.
We were in college at Mankato State at the time. We didn't have any classes Friday, so we came up on Thursday. We knew from the previous clues it was at Phalen. They got down to the last clue and it was a beautiful Saturday morning. There were still two papers in those days; the Dispatch came out at 10:30.
In those days, there were no cell phones or [medallion] internet [blogs], so you had to go to the paper and get the clue. Jim and Todd went and got a paper, and Mike and I stayed in the park. I saw Mike and Todd running across Phalen Lake, pretty much ahead of everybody else with the first [copy of the] paper.
They handed it to me, and I read the clue. It talked about "13 paces northeast from the number 13 pole." And in that instant, everybody knows the clue, but they all went to the wrong pole, because the numbers had been pulled off the pole.
Jim and Todd had gone off and collapsed somewhere, and I said to Mike, "They're going to the wrong pole." I backed my back up to the pole and lined it up northeast, took what I thought was 13 paces, and knelt down. There was only about two inches of snow. I pushed it back, and it was right there.
A couple of people jumped on my back, but I was 21 years old and I just got up and ran. It was $2,500 at that time, which doesn't sound like a lot of money, but we split it four ways and my share paid for two quarters of tuition at Mankato State. It was good, because my financial well was pretty dry at that time.
Bill Gough
found at Irvine Park
I was 21, a student at Macalester, and a friend of mine and I had been planning on going to a park that night to look for the medallion. I was between classes and I saw the morning clue and I thought, "What the heck, I'm gonna get in the car and go look around anyway."
I had been looking for it since I was a kid, but this was my first time out that year. I wasn't down there more than 15 minutes when I saw a little piece of litter, a bit of cardboard sticking above the snow pack. I reached down and it felt heavy. It was an Eric cigar box. I opened it up and inside, in plastic, was the original bronze medallion.
It was dumb luck. There might have been about 10 or 15 other people there at the time. I saw that thing and my heart just raced. I ran to my car and I wasn't sure what to do--celebrate by myself or take it to the paper or what. I was working part-time downtown at the St. Paul Public Library at the time, and I went into the library, into the reference room, and showed the librarians. I thought they'd get a kick out of it; they were all pretty excited. I just flashed it in front of them.
The paper gave me $1,000 and the Winter Carnival Association was supposed to supplement that with $1,500 if I had a registered [Winter Carnival] button. So I went over to get the check, and they said I hadn't registered on time. Evidently, it was a day late, so that mistake cost me $1,500. I was a pretty lazy college student at the time and I just didn't pay attention to deadlines as closely as I should have.
I have to admit, I go out looking every year. Once the bug bites you, it's hard to let go. I'm more of an armchair hunter now, but my son, who just graduated from the U and has a job in Michigan right now, comes back and looks for it. And I've got two boys who are 14, and they're nuts for it, and we all go out. The most fun about it is, you get out there and see all these people with blank looks on their faces, with shovels, and...it's just humorous. People are crazy.
Cookie Howard
found at Battle Creek Park
I found it with my friends, Rachel Olson and Kay Anderson. Actually, Rachel is the one who picked it up. Every year we go over the clues. In those days, everything was simpler. Everything is so complicated now. I wasn't doing anything in 1995. I was retired. In my day, you worked until you got pregnant and you stayed home and raised your family. It's just totally different now.
We went over the clues and figured out B-A-T-T-L-E, and the next day we went to Byerly's and walked around and had a few [food] samples and drove out to Battle Creek. And that was it. It was in the cards. It was fate.
Everyone is so friendly during the treasure hunt. Kay and I were visiting with this really friendly man when Rachel motioned and yelled for us to take a little walk someplace. As soon as we got up close to her, she said, "I've got it." And we said, "Yeah, right."
She's the calm one of the three. She wouldn't take it out of her pocket until we got back to the car, and Kay and I were out of our minds. We really exploded.
I mean, we have hunted forever. And been so close so many times. We'd looked since the first one. I'm 74: I've been a hunter for a long time. We had phone calls from absolute strangers saying they were so happy that we'd found it. They knew from the paper we'd been looking a lot of years. And we're still at it.
We're in the same bridge club and we love every minute of treasure hunting. We go out every day. We start out early; we have a lot of good lunches. We don't go out Sunday, the first clue. But by Monday, we're getting itchy.
Cathi Hogan
found at Como Park
My family has always been real involved in the Winter Carnival. We always took part in the events. When we were little there were ice castles and there was a toboggan ride where they'd close the streets in St. Paul. And we always looked for the treasure. I probably wasn't quite as obsessed as I have become as I've gotten older.
When I had kids, that was part of our ritual. I really burned them out because none of them were very interested. I have four kids and at first they started in the front pack. They'd have a plastic shovel and pail. It was out of necessity: I couldn't afford a babysitter, so they had to come along. My oldest daughter, who is now 23, lives in California and every day she calls and asks what the clue is. But the other three and my husband just kind of put up with me. They know it's an obsession.
I look all day and all night. At first, my husband would wait up for me. Pretty soon, as we were married longer, he'd just say, "See you in 10 days."
In 2001, one of the first clues said, "a peaceful bird." So I was pretty sure it was in some "dove" something. So I went to the grocery store and bought Dove candy bars and Dove ice cream bars and Dove soap, and brought them all home. And the only thing that wasn't wrapped in a dark wrapper was the Dove soap, so I was sure it would be in a box of that.
I was pretty sure it was in Como. I'd looked all day and all night. I knew I was close. But I went home and went to bed and got up that Monday morning and made myself a lunch. I went at about nine. Got out of the car with a shovel and a hoe and walked up to the area where I'd been looking. It was really dug up. So then I just found a spot that hadn't been dug, and aligned myself with the road and the swing set that had kind of marked clues. And I started digging. On the third shovel, there was a Dove soapbox.
I was by myself, and I dropped to my knees. I could hardly walk. I opened the box. It had been taped and inside was a sock that said "Iron Man" on it. One of the clues had said, "man of steel" in it. I knew I had it.
So I put it in my pocket and started walking out of the park. This lady stopped me and said, "Are you okay?" because I was crying. And I said, "I think I found it." She looked at me like I was an old lady who didn't know what I was talking about.
So then I just turned and screamed into the park--I bet there were 50 people there--"I think I found it!" And everybody put their shovels and digging things down and started running at me, and my heart started beating really fast and I took off for my car. Everybody was so nice. I got in the car and shut the door and opened the box. And there it was: the medallion. It was awesome.
The money was never on my mind. But when I found it, it was awfully nice to have. I split it with a woman who was going to meet me there that day, who I looked with for years. So I gave her $5,000, and some to the kids and my husband, and I bought a mattress for our bed. We'd always had hand-me-downs, so that was big-time.

I've been keeping a blog for my current Android game and as I get closer to an actual playable version of the game, screenshots just aren't enough to show new progress anymore. What I need is video. The problem is, my game won't run on the current emulator (uses OpenGL ES 2.0), and my computer couldn't run the emulator if it wanted to anyways. So desktop video capture is out of the question. The only real idea I have is holding the phone in front of the only video camera I own: a webcam… yeah. Does anyone know a better (preferably free) way to capture video from an Android device?
Perhaps something like Droid@Screen would work? Here's a video of setting it up and capturing video using CamStudio. Droid@Screen is in alpha, so it might work. Good luck! I'll keep an eye out for those videos on your blog .)
Hopefully your computer can handle that much :/
If your android device is rooted, there's an entirely on the phone option with ScreenCast & Recorder. Here's an article and the android market page for paid and free. Free version limits to 30 seconds of recording.
I'm not familiar with Android development, but I've used this technique on other platforms.
As you can take screen shots, could you simply lock your time step to say 1/30th sec (instead of using actual elapsed time) and save a screen shot every frame, which you can reassemble afterwards into a video on your PC.
The main downside of that method is that audio capture is more difficult - you will probably need to recreate it or replace it with something else.
It's also helps if you can record and replay any required user inputs since the game will be running in slow motion thanks to the screen shot saving.
I know this question is a little old but Android has changed some in the past 3 years so I think it's worth posting this answer.
Starting in Android 4.4, there's native screen recording. You can use ADB from a computer the phone is connected to or there are at least a dozen or so apps to help you do it (some with root, some without).
Without root, you'll be able to record the screen. I don't think you can get ANY of your phones audio if you don't have root. However, I've found a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cord can connect my phone's headphone jack to my laptop's mic jack and Audacity can record the audio just fine. My favorite app for screen recording is Lollipop Screen Recorder (and I have tested it all the way out to Marshmallow, it works great). Here's a video produced with this exact setup and what it looks/sounds like. I'm a crappy youtuber, but let this stand as hopefully a victory for the setup.
With root, you should be able to find an app that can record the screen and any audio produced by your device without any additional cords or computers. I have less experience with these apps so I can't make a good recommendation although I think Shou.tv should be able to do this. Shou.tv can also stream if that's something you want to do.
I am not a developer of any apps or games mentioned or linked to. Also, for the record, all of this software is free. An 8 foot cable for you headphone/mic jack connection can run $12 but is really useful to have on hand for more than just this task.
Unfortunately, I don't know if there are any good, solid, simple answers, since a lot of it depends on the device you're using and the game itself. A quick google of
This issue is that some of these solutions might take too long to implement, or plain old won't work for OpenGL games. And none of these will really show off any elements of the game that rely on touch, or accelerometer, or microphone/camera. So in some cases, the best option is to just stick the phone on a flat, well lit surface, point a camera at it, and play your game. In some cases, a web cam might be good enough to show the game in action, and you can entice people with pretty screenshots as well. If the web cam really is terrible, there's the option of finding a friend with a camera you can borrow for a few hours (or less)
This isn't the easiest way, but it doesn't require rooting your phone. You can slow down your game, run it in the emulator, record a video of the emulator, and then speed up the video. More details on http://www.firedroid.net/2010/07/01/recording-android-games/
we now have a free SDK that allows you to record videos with no overhead (we capture all the OpenGL calls) within any app or game.
And any Android game developer that sends us their video could be featured at Game Developers Conference in San Francisco
Details: http://www.lunarg.com/seemegaming/
This has been brought up but if you are serious about recording videos of your game, one of the most time and quality efficient paths is to get a 60$ hdmi recorder and an hdmi output cable. You get both sound and video in your devices native quality and you save a bunch of time.
Another cheaper option is sending a demo of your game to someone who has an hdmi recorder and asking them to kindly record a video of your game.
You should be able to record gameplay hdmi output with a compatible device like this, hdmi recorder. What you won't be able to do (probably as it's illegal) is record TV shows because the ouput is often encrypted.
So if you care about quality and framerate, getting the right hardware or asking someone who has it would be an option you could consider which may yield preferable results to software solutions.
You can use kamcord to record video or game in phone. See detail in https://www.kamcord.com/
You should port your game on Desktop. OpenGL ES 2.0 can be easily port on OpenGL 2.1. With a desktop version, you can use many tools to debug and profile your OpenGL code. Yes, it is a lot of work but you will develop quicker with a Desktop port. If you refuse to port your OpenGL ES code, there are OpenGL ES emulator on windows too (Theren't android emulators).
Note: With a video capture tool, you can't expect 30FPS. Only hdmi output present on many devices can help you...
Note 2: an OGLES 2.0 android emulator with hardware support is in the google labs, but no availability date.

(Reuters) - British biotechnology company Abcam Plc <ABCA.L> reported a 19.4 percent rise in profit, helped by the first full-year contribution from its acquisition of smaller peers Epitomics and Ascent Scientific.
The Cambridge, UK-based company, which produces and distributes antibodies and test kits for research, said it expected market conditions to remain challenging, especially in the Unites States, where the latest wave of budget cuts, or "sequestration" came into effect on March 1.
Abcam said it would accelerate organic growth and increase investment in areas such as marketing, e-commerce and operational infrastructure, by 3 million to 4 million pounds a year.
"In our view, management's evident insight into its core business should reassure investors that the opportunities it has alluded to are real," Numis analyst Charles Weston said In a note.
Abcam acquired U.S. peer Epitomics for $155 million in March 2012 and took over the development and distribution of rabbit monoclonal antibodies (RabMAbs) for research and diagnostics from the company, which has operations in China.
As opposed to antibodies derived from mice or humans, RabMAbs are developed from the rabbit immune system, which creates a more diverse range of antibodies, and are used to develop new drugs for cancer.
Abcam also acquired Ascent Scientific, a provider of biochemical reagents, for 10 million pounds in September 2011.
Full-year adjusted profit before tax rose to 46.6 million pounds ($73.26 million), for the year ended June 30, from 39 million pounds a year earlier. Revenue rose 24.9 percent to 122.2 million pounds million pounds. (http://link.reuters.com/sed92v)
The company also proposed to raise its final dividend to 5.1 pence per share from 4.36 pence a year earlier.
Abcam shares were up 4 percent at 490 pence at 0804 GMT (3:04 EDT) on the London Stock Exchange. The stock has risen more than 10 percent over the past year.

Thank you for your plugin "Rename wp-login.php".
It works as you designed and has already stopped many Bots on my site. Your plugin is the first I have seen that actually prevents access to the default /wp-login.php which is targeted by many bots.
It works and very well.
I also use another plugin "User Switching" which allows a site admin to assume the user_id of another. We use this plugin often enough to test user permissions and even fix a few things not editable using wordpress.
Unfortunately your plugin disables the "user switching" plugin. The switching plugin is http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/ . It passes GET parms like this ?action=switch_to_user&user_id=323&_wpnonce=123456790.
I diffed your changes of wp-login.php and they look very logical and simple enough. But for some reason it does not work with user switching. The original user switching does not require the administrator to know user passwords and do an new login.
The "user switching" is a popular plugin so I am requesting that you enable you plugin to support it as well.
Thanks for you great plugin!

I'm confused--you're trying to keep a grip on the bar in the rack position? If so, don't. You shouldn't. Those who can are few and far between and those who can and do are fewer and farrer betweener. Even in preparation to jerk, the grip is still fairly loose. So no, wrist flexibility may not improve your ability to grip the bar in the rack, but it will improve your ability to rack the bar with loose hands, as it should be done.

A Strategic Framework of Liberalising Trade in Services for Pakistan
For a long time, services were considered non-tradable in the literature of international economics. However, the sector has emerged with profound importance on the basis of strong underpinnings. Technological advancement, financial constraints and limited options, and regulatory changes have greatly expanded the range and scope of trade in services especially in the context of increasing share of knowledge intensive products at the world market. Services now account for a substantial and rising share of output and employment in the economy of Pakistan and its trading partners. However, it is argued that the growing share of services in the economy of Pakistan and its trading partners has not translated into a significant increased share in their over-all trade. Pakistan is heading towards liberalisation of trade in services through unilateral, bilateral, multi-lateral agreements under the broad framework of WTO. Recently, in the wake of trade liberalisation in EBOPS services among Pakistan's trading partners; Pakistan has received request lists from its trading partners in the context of national treatment and market access under four modes of cross-border supply of WTO framework. In this regard, the opportunities as well as risks associated with trade liberalisation depend primarily on the relative competitiveness among the trading partners. It is, therefore, essential for the policy makers to design such a trade policy which not only helps in promoting domestic services industries but also open up new opportunities of employment generation and economic growth and development with a guarantee of peace and stability within and across its neighbouring countries. In this connection, this research paper develops a strategic framework of liberalising trade in services in 12 categories of services with 26 partner countries of Pakistan using various economics tools (RCAI, TII, TCI, TBI) and econometric models and techniques (OLS, PLS, 2SLS) by using panel data on annual and quarterly frequencies.

Less weight gain found among African-American women in dense urban areas
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine's (BUSM) Slone Epidemiology Center have found that African-American women who live in more densely populated urban areas gain less weight than those in more sprawling auto-oriented areas. The results, which appear in the current issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, were based on data collected in the Black Women's Health Study, an ongoing study of the health of 59,000 African American women conducted by the researchers since 1995. While studies conducted at a single point in time have found higher levels of obesity among residents of sprawling areas compared to residents of more urban areas, there has been little information on this topic from studies that have followed residents over time.
The researchers assessed the association of women's residential environments with weight change and the incidence of obesity during a six year period of follow-up in the Black Women's Health Study. They focused on nearly 18,000 women who lived in the New York, Chicago or Los Angeles metropolitan areas. The women's residential neighborhoods were characterized by an "urbanicity score"— considered dense urban neighborhoods.
They found that both six year weight gain and the incidence of obesity were lower among women who had high urbanicity scores as compared to those with low scores. Women who lived in suburban or rural neighborhoods were considered to have low urbanicity scores.
According to the researchers, a previous study of these women, found those who lived in denser neighborhoods walked more than women in more sprawling areas. "Policies that encourage more dense and urban residential development may have a positive role to play in addressing the obesity epidemic," said lead author Patricia Coogan, MPH, D Sc, a senior epidemiologist at the Slone Center and an associate professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health.
