Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It's been a heated few months in the 12th District in what's shaping up to be a fight to the finish.
John Barrow and Lee Anderson have been working hard for those last-minute votes.
News 12's Laura Warren followed Barrow's campaign all day election Tuesday, and it started bright and early.
John Barrow headed to Covenant Presbyterian Church to cast his ballot at 7 a.m. Tuesday.
Then, he hit the streets campaigning, right across the street from his opponent's headquarters in Evans.
"This is just one of the many places in the district where there are a lot of voters making their way to and from work," he said.
He was joined on the campaign trail by Augusta's former first lady, Gwen Fulcher Young, a staunch Republican, crossing over to support Barrow.
"I think it's especially important for us as Republicans to not just go with the brand, but to look at the candidate," Young told News 12's Laura Warren.
And Young isn't alone. Many self-proclaimed "die-hard Republicans" are also casting their votes for Barrow.
Ruth Walters said, "That's what I did, I voted Republican, but I voted for Barrow."
"Everywhere I go in the district, I'm encountering people who will tell me, John, I ain't voted for a Democrat since Zell Miller, or I usually vote the other way but I'm voting for you," Barrow said.
Voters from both sides of the aisle say Barrow's messages don't seem to be based on a particular party but rather on the issues.
"Like the way he feels about the guns and protecting ourselves and everything else," Walters said.
After voting and campaigning in Evans, Barrow headed to Dublin, then Statesboro and back to Augusta. He will be with friends, family and supporters watching the results at Partridge Inn in Augusta.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Incline Village and Crystal Bay real estate sales are up nearly 20 percent in units this year when compared with the same time frame in 2011. The latest statistics from the Incline Village Board of Realtors MLS as of May 10, 2012 reveal 74 closed escrows versus 62 closed escrows one year ago.
While sales of condos have been skewed towards the lower price ranges as bargain hunters continue to snap up the most attractively priced properties, we are seeing strength across the board when it comes to sales of single-family homes. This is one year when the median price for local property sales is becoming a meaningless statistic due to the extraordinary amount of activity among condos priced under $300,000.
Many people will argue that the direction that the median price is traveling is an indicator for where prices are headed. While this may sometimes be true in certain markets at various time frames, you cannot always look to the median price as an accurate barometer. 29 condos have closed escrow so far this year and all but three of them had final sale prices under $500,000. Of the 30 condos currently in escrow, all of them have asking prices under $420,000.
So, while the median price of the condos that have closed escrow in 2012 is only $245,000 this does not mean that condo prices retreated 30 percent from 2011. Rather, sales activity has been overly concentrated among smaller and lower-priced condominiums. A better indicator of condo prices is the fact that sales in McCloud in 2012 for the 2 bedroom floor plans have ranged between $350,000 and $450,000, the same as last year.
Condo prices are not dropping across the board like they were a couple of years ago. Rather, most condo buyers have become more cautious after the housing bubble burst. This has led many people to purchase more affordable condos rather than stretching to buy the most expensive place they can get a loan on. Also, with some smaller single-family homes now available under $600,000, a percentage of moderate price condo shoppers have switched their attention to purchasing houses.
The real estate market is more fluid now than at any time in recent history. Since vacation home purchases are discretionary, buyers are not locked into a set of parameters the way they would be for a primary residence that must meet certain conditions. Vacation home buyers have a general set of preferences and they are not usually worried about things like commuting time, school district locations and other factors that affect the decision-making process for a primary residence. As a result, vacation home buyers will very often come to Incline Village with a particular type of property in mind only to make significant adjustments after seeing the local inventory.
Sales of single-family homes in Incline Village and Crystal Bay in 2012 have run the gamut from a tear down in the Woods Subdivision selling for the bargain basement price of $200,000 all the way up to the super luxury mansion at 456 Ponderosa Avenue fetching $5,875,000. With 20 percent of the closed escrows this year having final sale prices of $1.4 million or greater, we are seeing a return to a more normal distribution across the price spectrum. And having 30 single-family homes currently in escrow at prices ranging from $379,000 to $6.9 million, sales activity is at its highest level in six years.
The combination of a declining inventory year-to-year, increased sales in units year-to-year and multiple offers for attractively priced properties leads me to believe that our market has stabilized and is beginning to slowly turn upward. There is still softness in some market sectors, especially high elevation homes and high-density condos without garages or amenities. However, quality properties in good locations, especially if they have amenities or a view continue to be in demand. Buyers who are willing to make the trip to Lake Tahoe prior to the busy summer season will have the best variety of houses and condos from which to choose.

Huge improvement over the 2013 model of the Elmn8. Love the breathability and both colorways. Not a huge fan of the thin innersole, even in a track spike, but so much better than last year, I can deal. Good transition for those hanging to old Nerve LDs.When they say they run 1/2 size small, they mean it. Wear 11.5 Ghost and 12 in these. Fit is same.

Comments about ELMN8:
I love this spike...it is perfect for a 800m - miler looking for a spike aggressive enough to get up on your forefoot and sprint, yet protect and cushion your heel and mid foot throughout the race. The rigidity of the spike in the mid foot supports the foot well while you are sprinting and the foam layer cushioning is light and springy so it is great for protecting your foot while allowing you to be quick and not not feel like you are losing anything to the cushioning. It supports the foot very well bio mechanically especially when changing gears to sprint. I also love that it fits true to size (I wear 10.5 in the ghost and this as well) so I don't have to size down and try to guess my fit. The upper contains and supports the foot impressively well and seemingly contours to my foot; in my experience the best spike upper is the one you don't notice is there and for how well it supports and conforms to my foot it remains exactly that. Couldn't be happier with it so far and if you are a md runner this definitely is the spike for you.

Holocaust Denial
1918 November 11. World War I ends.
1920 Sidney B. Fay writes a series of articles criticizing the prevailing view that Germany had been the main cause of World War I. Fay was respected as a legitimate and serious revisionist historian, as were his colleagues Charles A. Beard and Harry Elmer Barnes.
1939 September 1. Germany invades Poland and World War II begins.
1942 January 20. The Wannsee Conference is held in Germany to decide the fate of European Jewry. In all official documents from the Conference, the Nazis use euphemistic language to describe the extermination of the Jews, which they call the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question." Deportation to extermination camps is termed, "resettlement in the East."
In later years, Holocaust deniers would misinterpret the documents and conclude that the extermination of the Jews was never an intention of either Hitler or the Nazis because it was not explicitly stated. Deniers would also use this same tactic to obfuscate their own intentions (i.e. claiming to be "anti-Zionist" rather than antisemitic or anti-Jewish).
1945 September 2. World War II ends.
1947 Maurice Bardèche, a French fascist, defends the Nazis and suggests that much of the evidence about the concentration and extermination camps was fabricated. He maintains that any deaths in the camps should be attributed to disease and starvation and blames Jews for taking action against the German people and instigating World War II.
1947 Harry Elmer Barnes, who had been a part of the revisionist movement after World War I, produces a pamphlet, The Struggle Against Historical Blackout, which suggests that the Allies were responsible for World War II and that the Germans had once again been unfairly blamed for starting the conflict. The "historical blackout" refers to a supposed conspiracy of "court historians" who support establishment views and will not allow Germany to be exonerated.
1948 Paul Rassinier, a French Socialist who had been imprisoned in the concentration camps Buchenwald and Dora when he was a member of the Communist party, publishes La Passage de la Ligne (Crossing the Line). This book, and the others he would produce over the next two decades, declares that atrocity stories from the camps were exaggerated and unfair to the Germans. Rassinier tries to justify Jewish suffering at the hands of the Germans by describing the Jews as the enemy of the German people and laying the blame for the war on the "Zionist establishment."
1949 Rassinier publishes Le Monsonge d'Ulysse (The Lie of Ulysses).
1952 Charles C. Tansill's Back Door to War is published. Tansill was a revisionist historian who discussed the culpability of the Allies in both World Wars but did not deny that the Holocaust occurred Still, many of his more extreme arguments that try to exonerate Germany form the base for the later theses of Holocaust deniers.
1955 Willis Carto founds the Liberty Lobby, which is billed as a "lobby for patriotism." The Anti-Defamation League refers to the Liberty Lobby as the most influential right-wing extremist propaganda organization in the United States.
1961 David Leslie Hoggan's book, Der Erzwungene Krieg (The Forced War) is published in Germany because no publisher could be found for the original English version. Hoggan asserts that England and Poland had forced a reluctant Germany into war, and that German policies concerning the Jews were benign when compared to their treatment at the hands of the Poles.
1964 Rassinier's The Drama of European Jewry is published. In this book, Rassinier begins to actively deny that the Holocaust happened and charges that the "genocide myth " was created by the "Zionist establishment."
1967 The Public Stake in Revisionism, written by Harry Elmer Barnes, moves closer to explicit denial of the Holocaust by hinting that Allied actions against the Germans were much worse than any German war crimes, "real or alleged." He also escalates his claims of an historical blackout to that of a "smotherout."
1969 The Myth of the Six Million is published by Noontide Press, the publishing arm of the antisemitic Liberty Lobby. The book is apparently written by David Leslie Hoggan, author of The Forced War, and accuses Jews of using the Holocaust to discredit the German nation and its attempts to maintain national identity and racial purity.
1973 Austin J. App, a professor of English literature at LaSalle College, publishes The Six Million Swindle: Blackmailing the German People for Hard Marks with Fabricated Corpses. The pamphlet states openly that the Holocaust "hoax" was created by Communists and Jews, particularly the Zionists. It also lays out eight axioms that will become the founding principles of the Institute for Historical Review (IHR).
1974 Heinz Roth publishes Porque nos mienten? O acaso Hitler tenia Raz"n? (Why Do They Lie to Us? Perhaps Hitler Was Right?) in Argentina.
1974 The booklet Did Six Million Really Die? The Truth at Last, written by Richard Harwood, is published in Great Britain. Richard Harwood was the pseuedonym of Richard Verrall, the editor of Spearhead, the periodical associated with the British right-wing, neofascist organization the National Front. The book was based on an earlier American publication, The Myth of the Six Million.
1975 Palestine My Homeland, written by Ahmad Hussein, claims that the Holocaust never happened.
1977 David Irving's controversial book, Hitler's War, is published. While Irving does not yet deny the Holocaust in this book, he does surmise that Hitler was a weak and vacillating leader who knew nothing about the "Final Solution." Many historians condemned the book as an attempt to rehabilitate Nazism and explained that it was filled with factual errors and fabrications.
1977 Irving offers "$1000 for evidence that Hitler knew about Auschwitz."
1977 Arthur R. Butz, a tenured professor of electrical engineering at Northwestern University, publishes The Hoax of the Twentieth Century. Butz significantly changed the way Holocaust denial literature was written because of the sophisticated, "pseudoscholarly" tone he used in writing his book and his pretensions toward objectivity and legitimate research. While Butz claimed that he had no problem with Jews, his animosity toward Zionists was merely a disguise for his antisemitic views.
1978 Louis Darquier de Pellepoix, the former commissioner of Jewish affairs in Vichy France and the man responsible for deporting Vichy Jews to death camps, tells the French weekly L'Express that the Holocaust was another Jewish hoax.
1979 The Institute for Historical Review (IHR) is founded by Willis Carto. Carto insists that the IHR is an independent organization with no ties to any of his other organizations or publications. However, the umbrella organization that is responsible for the IHR, the Legion for the Survival of Freedom, links the Institute to the Noontide Press, the publishing arm of the IHR, and other Carto vehicles.
1979 The IHR convenes its first Revisionist Convention in Los Angeles. IHR Director Lewis Brandon (the pseudonym of William David McCalden) offers $50,000 to anyone who "could prove that the Nazis operated gas-chambers to exterminate Jews during World War II."
1980 spring. All members of the Organization of American Historians (OAH) receive a complimentary copy of the first issue of the Journal of Historical Review, the periodical for the IHR. The IHR had purchased the OAH's 12,000 member mailing list in order to mail out the Journal, leading some of the OAH members to protest against the sale of their names and addresses to an antisemitic hate group.
1981, February 19. Mel Mermelstein, a survivor of Auschwitz whose mother, father, sister and brothers had died during the Holocaust, files a lawsuit against the IHR, Lewis Brandon/David McCalden and Willis Carto. Mermelstein, had submitted a notarized declaration of his experiences at Auschwitz in answer to the IHR's $50,000 offer and, when the Institute did not respond to his claim, he turned for redress to the legal system of the state of California.
1982 The German-American National Political Action Committee (GANPAC) is founded by Hans Schmidt. An organization which uses Holocaust denial to contribute to the rehabilitation of National Socialism, GANPAC is also devoted to fighting perceived anti-German sentiment in the media.
1983 February. American actor Robert Mitchum, after playing leading roles in the World War II television epics Winds of War and War and Remembrance, expresses doubts about the veracity of the Holocaust in an interview with Esquire magazine. In the interview, he qualifies statements about the Holocaust with the statement, "So the Jews say."
1983 Robert Faurisson, a former Associate Professor of Contemporary Literature at the University of Lyon, France, is fined and given a three month suspended sentence for "racial defamation" after making remarks on a radio show that are anti-Zionist and support Holocaust denial.
1984 The Canadian government charges Ernst Zündel, a German immigrant living in Canada, with "knowingly publishing false news that caused or was likely to cause damage to social or racial tolerance." by publishing and distributing antisemitic literature.

The judge also orders the defendants in the case to draft and sign a letter of apology to Mermelstein because of the trouble they had caused him. During pre-trial hearings, Judge Thomas T. Johnson, the presiding judge, had taken judicial notice of the undisputed fact of Jewish gassings at Auschwitz, and the letter of apology contained a verbatim reprise of this notice.
1985 James Keegstra, a popular school teacher and also the mayor of Eckville (a Canadian town in the province of Alberta), is convicted of "willfully promot[ing] hatred toward a definable group, i.e. the Jewish people" by teaching social studies classes that included antisemitic conspiracy theories as well as Holocaust denial.
1986 January. Mermelstein wins $4.75 million in punitive damages and $500,000 in compensatory damages in a suit against Ditlieb Felderer, an Austrian living in Sweden whose Jewish Information Bulletin derided the Jews killed at Auschwitz and personally attacked Mermelstein.

1988 May 13. Ernst Zündel is convicted after his second trial and sentenced to nine months in jail. Some of the biggest names in Holocaust denial, including Robert Faurisson, David Irving, Bradley Smith, and Ditlieb Felderer had testified during the second trial. In addition, a self-styled engineer named Fred Leuchter presented a report entitled The Leuchter Report: An Engineering Report on the Alleged Execution Gas Chambers at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek, Poland that attempted to prove that the gas chambers were a myth.

Lights, Security Cameras, Action
Of all the cameras that will pop up outside the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood this Oscar weekend, at least four won't be snapping at Lupita Nyong'o's gown.
In strategic locations in the vicinity, the Los Angeles Police Department has placed cameras that can be monitored remotely for suspicious activity at the sprawling, crowded event. Several blocks around the ceremony's home, the Hollywood and Highland shopping and entertainment complex, have already been shut off from traffic in anticipation of the Academy Awards on Sunday, when thousands of spectators and attendees are expected to crowd the red carpet area for arrivals.
To keep an eye out for suspicious actors or activity, the LAPD temporarily installs surveillance cameras made by Sweden-based Axis Communications. But ironically, camerawork on the film industry's biggest night proves to be a challenge because of all the other cameras there.
"The flashes are something that the movie stars all love and something that surveillance cameras hate," said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager of Axis.
The whitewash of flashes created by paparazzi cameras can blind a device and throw off its color balance – rendering the red carpet a pinkish-purple color and turning other nearby colors into new shades. If a suspect wearing an orange jacket takes off, the camera might identify him as wearing green, said Mr. Nilsson, but Axis cameras use a color balancing technology that keeps the devices from being overwhelmed.
LAPD officials watch the video feed from a command post four floors underground and nearly 10 miles away, downtown, are able to manipulate the cameras remotely and zoom in on details such as license plates, waistbands and bags.
The cameras are one of several precautions taken by the police force, on the lookout this week for warning signs they call "trip wires." One such practice includes telling nearby business owners to notify police if a customer comes in and buys large amounts of hydrogen peroxide, said Michael Downing, a deputy chief in charge of the force's counter-terrorism and special operations bureaus.
There are no current threats against the Oscars, said Mr. Downing. The LAPD doesn't release the number of officers who will be manning the event.
"I can say there will be a lot of cops there," he said.
Check back in all weekend for Speakeasy's full coverage of the Oscars.

Liverpool Message Board
The "OUTS"..
Mostly been a season end, and summer routine talking about all the faces coming in, and expected to yet still come in, but really not much talk about the players leaving, aside from Andy, who we all knew would go..
Danny Wilson to Hearts, suppose wages gone. Jay Spearing looks like he's going to follow Own Coyle to Wigan for 2-3M, and as of today, Swans have confirmed talks for Jonjo Shelvey. Depending where you read, we've been wanting 5M all the way to 8M. For me, while sometimes I've been down on him, I've also seen his upside and would hesitate to sell for at least 1 more year and prefer a loan. Norwich & WHU also said to be interested. Rumors (zzzz) A.Villa want Downing back, with Fulham too, Pacheco has no rumors, and presumably no future at this point, AND today, via Spain, Barcelona are NOT convinced Valdes will stay and strongly suggest they could make an offer for Reina. Even if that's false, Rodgers did well to prepare. Sunderland could have ended up holding ransom for Mignolet, as could Stoke for Begovic.
Figure Wilson saved 1M total w/ wages, Spearing for 3M, Pacheco maybe 2M, and "potentially" Reina for let's just say 12M, along with Assaidi wages on loan back to Netherlands, could equal close to another 18M.
I'd turn around and spend that on Victor Wanyama yesterday, and another CB and bargain LB..Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Lots of talk that Jonjo deal has been agreed to Swansea for £6m though nothing official. Story on Skysports this morning said we have rejected a £5m offer for Downing from WHU, seems they are trying to rebuild our Dalglish side! It is of course hypothetical but assuming we get permanent deals for these guys, we will be pulling in a good net return:
Carroll: £15 (+£2.5m add ons)
Downing £6m
Jonjo £6m
Assaidi £3m
Spearing £3m
Coates £4m
That would be £37-39.5m alone, take into account we have spent only £23m, there is still plenty of movement in the tank.

To talk of letting Coates go just now would seem eminently sensible.....not. It smacks of the sort of hole we got ourselves into last year having to go half a season with a depleted strike force. No Carra, Skrtel staying questionable, Dan Agger bad back injury record, Martin Kelly seeming injury prone too, Kolo Toure lack of playing time for the past 2 years, and I am not yet convinced that the guy wont make good. He has good feet but needs to learn to throw his weight about a bit more and get a physical presence.

Seems Arsenal offwered £39m for Suarez and LFC rejected it. Doesn't Suarez know Arsenal is still in England and he'll still get hassled by the british media.. Isn't this the reason why he wanted out of LFc in the first place cos of the british media..
Just read that we've agreed a £1.5m deal with Blackburn for Jay Spearing. Good luck Jay, as clubs Blackburn and Newcastle give me the eeby jeebies on the way they are managed. I take a little comfort in the fact that we haven't quite been as badly managed as Blackburn.

About the Book
"Do we really need yet another book about the financial crisis? Yes, we do—because this one is different….A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the mess we're in."
—Paul Krugman, New York Times Book Review<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
"Fox makes business history thrilling."
—St. Louis Post-Dispatch
A lively history of ideas, The Myth of the Rational Market by former Time Magazine economics columnist Justin Fox, describes with insight and wit the rise and fall of the world's most influential investing idea: the efficient markets theory. Both a New York Times bestseller and Notable Book of the Year—longlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award and named one of Library Journal Best Business Books of the Year—The Myth of the Rational Market carries readers from the earliest days of Wall Street to the current financial crisis, debunking the long-held myth that the stock market is always right in the process while intelligently exploring the replacement theory of behavioral economics.
Chronicling the rise and fall of the efficient market theory and the century-long making of the modern financial industry, Justin Fox's The Myth of the Rational Market is as much an intellectual whodunit as a cultural history of the perils and possibilities of risk. The book brings to life the people and ideas that forged modern finance and investing, from the formative days of Wall Street through the Great Depression and into the financial calamity of today. It's a tale that features professors who made and lost fortunes, battled fiercely over ideas, beat the house in blackjack, wrote bestselling books, and played major roles on the world stage. It's also a tale of Wall Street's evolution, the power of the market to generate wealth and wreak havoc, and free market capitalism's war with itself.
The efficient market hypothesis—long part of academic folklore but codified in the 1960s at the University of Chicago—has evolved into a powerful myth. It has been the maker and loser of fortunes, the driver of trillions of dollars, the inspiration for index funds and vast new derivatives markets, and the guidepost for thousands of careers. The theory holds that the market is always right, and that the decisions of millions of rational investors, all acting on information to outsmart one another, always provide the best judge of a stock's value. That myth is crumbling.
Celebrated journalist and columnist Fox introduces a new wave of economists and scholars who no longer teach that investors are rational or that the markets are always right. Many of them now agree with Yale professor Robert Shiller that the efficient markets theory "represents one of the most remarkable errors in the history of economic thought." Today the theory has given way to counterintuitive hypotheses about human behavior, psychological models of decision making, and the irrationality of the markets. Investors overreact, underreact, and make irrational decisions based on imperfect data. In his landmark treatment of the history of the world's markets, Fox uncovers the new ideas that may come to drive the market in the century ahead.
