Next Week's Tape: Trifecta of Inflation Data On Tap
The weak March employment report keeps the door open for more Federal Reserve easing. Next week, Fed-watchers will have three inflation reports that could factor into the odds for more accommodation.
The import price report on Wednesday starts the procession. These prices have been pushed up by the rising cost of imported petroleum, a trend expected to have continued in March. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires is that total import prices increased 0.8% last month, double the 0.4% advance in February.
Wholesale inflation is next up with Thursday's producer price index numbers. The top-line PPI is forecast to have increased 0.3% in March. The core PPI, which excludes food and energy, is expected to have risen 0.2%.
Finally, the consumer price index is scheduled to be reported Friday. The median forecast expects a 0.2% gain in the March CPI, and also a 0.2% rise in the core index.
Also on the Friday schedule is the Thomson-Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment for early April. Economists will want to see how consumers reacted to the news that only 120,000 new jobs were created in March, the slowest hiring pace since October 2011. The median forecast expects a reading of 76.5, up slightly from 76.2 at the end of March.

This show was part of the "1989 Tour."
This was the infamous "Tape Release Party" night. We knew that the first-ever PHISH tape was to be available. The anticipation was frightening. Some of us headed down early to check things out. Not too much was happening, but as usual, there were some folks having a couple in the Outback. The band wasn't really there either. Eventually, we decided to lay down the 3 bucks or whatever and head in to the Front. We had to go back around to the front door to pay the cover because it was still a little early. We went in as we wanted to hear the new tape. Paul had a box of them at the board. Myself and Nutsy pulled out some cash and began to set up our deck. Paul came over to say hello and we asked for a couple of copies. I don't recall the price ($7 perhaps). To get to the heart of the matter, Paul brought us the first two copies of "Junta." Nutsy got the first-ever, but I had the sense to have the band autograph mine. I still don't know who "Hank" is.
Oh yeah, the show. Sofi and Joe's appearance in the second set was very... fun. Something profound was felt by all. After Harpua and Whipping Post it was nice to go out in to the cool evening air and stretch out. I also bought some shirt that night. Another first.
Thankfully, I still have both the autographed tape and the shirt. I just wish that I had slipped past Nutsy.

The Fed announced another round of "quantitative easing" in the form of $40 billion of mortgage purchases per month until the labor market "improves substantially." The stated goal is to "increase policy accommodation" by driving down the cost of borrowing not only in the mortgage sector, but in other areas as relative valuations adjust.
A conveniently leaked statement from the ECB yesterday purports they will begin an "unlimited, sterilized" buying program for eurozone debt with maturities up to three years. The markets cheered as they have every "kick-the-can" announcement thus far, but there's more to the story.
Jackson Hole, housing, consumer debt, Draghi and a European recovery?...well, probably not!
Many of the bureaucrats in Europe believe in a single mantra for keeping the euro:"It would be too expensive to let it go!"Well, that may be, but before jumping to that conclusion let's look at the facts.

Neal firm buys 47 more lots
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 9:04 p.m.
LAKEWOOD RANCH - A subsidiary of homebuilder Neal Communities has paid about $5.23 million for 47 building lots in the Country Club East neighborhood of this master-planned community.
The owners of Lakewood Ranch helped Neal with his $111,170-per-lot purchase by providing his company -- Sterling Equity Group LLC -- with a $3.83 million loan.
A year ago, one of Neal's companies paid $90,000 per acre for 22 lots in the same neighborhood.
Lakewood Ranch-based Neal Communities closed 2012 with the highest sales in company history. The company sold 50 percent more homes than in 2011. That included 600 new home sales recorded and 487 deals projected to close.
The growth spurred the hiring of 36 employees, and the company opened a division in Lee and Collier counties.
Now building in 14 neighborhoods from Parrish to Englewood, Neal Communities controls more than 30 percent of the market share in Manatee County, the company said.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Move Loot, an online marketplace to buy and sell used home goods, will on Wednesday expand to San Jose and the Peninsula, just nine months after it launched.
Move Loot, which is something of an online garage sale with the added benefit of home delivery, has two goals -- to give consumers a website to sell and buy at a discounted price used rugs, desks, sofas, beds and other home furnishings that are in decent condition; and to keep these bulky items out of landfills, reducing the 10.8 million tons of furniture that are thrown away annually rather than recycled.
"Our goal is audacious -- to change the way people buy household goods and push people to buy used rather than new products," said co-founder and CEO Bill Bobbitt. "You sell all your things in one city and then you buy them all over again in another city, and it's an incredibly wasteful impact on the environment."
The company launched in October in San Francisco, where it has a warehouse to store the furniture people want to sell and offers pickup and next-day delivery to customers. As of Wednesday, Move Loot's services are available throughout the Peninsula south to San Jose. Plans are in the works to bring Move Loot to the East Bay, Bobbitt said.
He said the company is looking for a second warehouse in San Jose, but for now is using temporary storage to house the furniture sold on the site. Its San Francisco warehouse is located in the Dogpatch district. Bobbitt added that he is looking to hire up to 20 people to run operations in San Jose; the company now has 23 employees.
Move Loot is the latest startup to tap into the rapidly growing demand for online marketplaces -- websites or apps that connect people who want or need something with those who have it to sell, and can offer instant delivery of the service or product. The group includes companies such as Airbnb, Lyft, UrbanSitter and Couchsurfing. Because these companies have low expenses -- they don't create or manufacture goods -- venture capitalists such as Menlo Park firm Menlo Ventures have invested heavily in marketplace startups, some of which have valuations in the several billions of dollars.
"Marketplace companies in general get much higher premiums because they are a toll type of model, which is a fantastic business model," said Derek Chu, a senior associate with Menlo Ventures. "They are part of the 'right-now' economy."
Move Loot is an alumnus of Y Combinator, one of the valley's best-known startup accelerators, which the company completed in March. In June, it raised $2.8 million in seed funding in a round led by First Round Capital and Index Venture, which will help to fund the company's expansion plans. According to Bobbitt, revenue has grown 40 percent month-over-month since October.
Move Loot says it takes the pain out of used furniture sales that many consumers deal with on sites such as Craigslist, where buyers or sellers may flake on a transaction, the advertisement posted online could be misleading, and trying to figure out a way to transport a refrigerator or dining room table can be a hassle.
"We sell the things that if you buy them on Craigslist, you'd think, 'Wow this is going to be miserable,'" Bobbitt said.
The goods posted on the Move Loot website sell for about 30 percent to 80 percent off their retail price, and the company keeps half of the sale price. Move Loot is available as a desktop and iPhone application.

A judge in Washington is ordering a mental health center caring for John Hinckley to decide how to proceed with a request to expand the time he spends away. Earlier, the hospital had said it didn't want to be involved.
Hinckley shot and wounded President Ronald Reagan in 1981.
In late 2011 and early 2012, lawyers spent two weeks discussing plans that would expand Hinckley's release privileges from a psychiatric hospital for the 10-day stretches he is allowed at his mother's home in Virginia. He is seeking more time away.
Part of the plan was that Hinckley would attend group programs at People's Place in Williamsburg, Va., but it has since withdrawn its participation.
Judge Paul Friedman is giving People's Place until Oct. 19 to say how it plans to proceed.

Festival founder Robert Redford said he selected the location back in 1980 because he wanted its focus to be on independent films, far from the commercial pressures of Hollywood and New York.
That overriding goal is why organizers aren't overly sensitive about annual cries from conservative voices, such as the Sutherland Institute, who on Jan. 12 issued its annual statement asking the state of Utah to stop supporting the festival because some Sundance films are obscene and contrary to state taxpayers' values.
"They should read the[U.S.] Constitution," Redford said in response.
"Sometimes, the narrowest minds barks the loudest. We need to ignore them," he said, adding that the festival contributes some $80 million annually to the local economy. "We bring something to the table."
At the news conference, which was moderated by Tribune movie critic Sean P. Means, festival director John Cooper said he was looking forward to the many films and events on this year's program that revolve around music.

As good as the Columbia Hickman High School girls' basketball team was last season - and it was good enough to possibly make a long postseason run if not stuck in the same district with state champion Columbia Rock Bridge - the Lady Kewpies could be even better this season.
At least the Waynesville Lady Tigers are believers.
Hickman opened its season looking as strong as ever Monday night, blasting Waynesville 90-39 in non-league action at the WHS gym.
Last season Waynesville also lost to Hickman 62-22 in an early game. The Lady Kewpies went on to finish 22-5, losing to eventual Class 5 state champion Rock Bridge in the championship game of the District 9 Tournament.
On Monday Hickman's defense produced numerous Lady Tiger turnovers, which were turned into Lady Kewpie transition baskets.
"Once again turnovers and not matching up on defense hurt us," said Waynesville head coach Brittany Matlock, whose squad falls to 0-2. "Hickman is a good team that is very well-coached. We know what we have to work on and things will work out as long as we continue to take steps forward instead of backwards."
Hickman bolted to a 21-9 lead after the first period and was in control the rest of the way.
A brutal second period put the Lady Tigers away. The Lady Kewpies outscored WHS a whopping 32-4 in the second quarter to coast into intermission with a 53-13 advantage.
It was 77-31 heading into the fourth period.
Kallie Bildner, a 6-2 sophomore, fired in 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds for the Lady Tigers while 5-10 senior forward Hannah Bland had nine points and four boards.
Emily Miller, a 5-9 junior returning all-stater, netted a game-high 28 points for Hickman while 5-5 senior guard Jordan Matthews added 20 points and five assists.
Hickman also won the junior varsity game 56-26.
The Lady Tigers will play their first road game of the season on Monday, traveling to Sullivan for a non-league contest. The jayvee game is to begin at 6 p.m. with the varsity contest to follow.
Waynesville (39): Bildner 14, Laughlin 4, Herrmann 4, Simmons 4, Kizzee 4, Bland 9.
Hickman (90): Logan 9, Mirts 7, Nichols 1, Adams 13, Storm 4, Matthews 20, Miller 28, White 4, Jones 4.

With first place on the line Friday night, Lynbrook was determined to walk out of its gym with a victory.
The Vikings scored 21 of the final 22 points in the first half and beat Gunn 45-28 in a Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division girls basketball game.
No. 4-ranked Lynbrook extended its winning streak to seven games while remaining unbeaten in the division. The loss was 10th-ranked Gunn's first against a division opponent.
"My girls came out to play today," Lynbrook coach Cynthia Ting said. "I would say our defense fueled our offense. We did a great job pressuring their guards, and we moved the ball really well tonight."
After Emily Redfield's basket cut Lynbrook's lead to 7-5 midway through the first quarter, Gunn (10-4, 3-1) had no response the rest of the half against the Vikings' half-court defense and low-post offense.
Lynbrook (15-2, 5-0) created turnover after turnover and kept feeding Sara Dyslin for points near the basket. The junior scored nine of her 13 points in the first half as the Vikings opened a commanding 28-6 lead.
Paige Song, a player Ting described as "one of the unsung heroes of our season," had 12 points and four steals. Dyslin also had four steals, and Emily Fong had three, along with nine points.
"We have an amazing dynamic," Dyslin said. "Every person on this team is so amazing. We have high hopes for this year because we know we have a lot of good talent on this team."
Jackie Hudepohl, one of Lynbrook's top scorers on the season, had eight points and countless hustle plays.
"We did a pretty good job of not turning the ball over," Hudepohl said. "That's sort of been our Achilles' heel all season. And our defense was really good, especially in the first half."
Gunn played much better in the second half, closing the deficit to 39-28 in the closing minutes. Claire Klausner led the Titans with 12 points, all after halftime.
"We knew they were going to make a run because they're well-coached and a really talented team," Ting said.
Wilcox 62, Milpitas 30: D'airrien Jackson had 20 points to lead No. 5 Wilcox (15-2, 3-2) to the SCVAL De Anza Division win.
Eastside Prep 53, Pinewood 38: Hashima Carothers scored 21 points to propel No. 5 Eastside Prep over No. 9 and host Pinewood.
Boys basketball
Top-ranked Archbishop Mitty finished the first half of the West Catholic Athletic League season unbeaten, defeating No. 2-ranked Sacred Heart Cathedral 69-57 in San Francisco. Aaron Gordon led the Monarchs (13-3, 7-0) with 24 points. Sacred Heart Cathedral fell to 12-5, 5-2.
Piedmont Hills 54, Independence 43: Walter Bateast scored 22 points as the No. 7 Pirates (14-3, 6-1) defeated the host 76ers in a Blossom Valley Athletic League Mount Hamilton Division game.
Palo Alto 57, Los Gatos 32: Aldis Petriceks scored 20 points to lead Palo Alto (15-1, 6-0) to a victory in an SCVAL De Anza Division game at Los Gatos.
Willow Glen 54, Leland 48: Taylor Meeker had 27 points as host Willow Glen defeated the Chargers in BVAL Mount Hamilton Division play.

Dubious Trend of the Week: Coffee + Butter (?!) = Energy Boost
A new twist on a Tibetan tradition is fast becoming all the rage
Based on traditional Tibetan yak tea; a frothy concoction of tea leaves, vigorously churned yak butter and salt that's customarily consumed by the cupful before beginning the day's work, Bulletproof Coffee is hoping to become the next big thing.
READ: 8 Diet Drinks Skinny Women Love to Sip
A pet project of Dave Asprey, the founder of Bulletproof, a company whose mission it is to help you "upgrade your performance in every aspect of your life," this buttered coffee is "Rich and creamy and tastes delicious and gives you tremendous energy for quite a long time," according to fans like celebrity chef Seamus Mullen.
According to Asprey, the caffeine in a typical cup of coffee imparts an initial buzz followed by an inevitable crash. His Bulletproof Coffee is different because in addition to unsalted, grass-fed butter, it contains MCT oil (a blend of palm and coconut oils) and other healthy fats that sustain the boost for hours on end. "I'll pretty much go all day on it," raves Mullen.
The key is that MCT digests more quickly than most other fats so it increases energy and, Asprey says, promotes weight loss.
"When you blend low-toxin coffee with butter and octane oil (MCT oil), the butter turns off some of your food cravings and provides things the brain needs, including micronutrients," he says. "It turns off inflammation in the brain."
Nutritionist Amy Shapiro, R.D., is of the mind that consuming these fats can be beneficial in the ways Asprey describes. As she told Well & Good, "This can be a satisfying, energy- producing breakfast that provides many nutrients, satisfies hunger, and may cause your body to increase fat-burning, resulting in weight loss. Also, the fat slows the absorption of the caffeine, creating an even and prolonged energy release.
It's important to note that no one's recommending you plop a dollop of Land o' Lakes into your morning mug of Nescaf é. If you're going to DIY, using grass-fed butter is imperative (it has many more of the fatty acids required to achieve the "benefits"). You can substitute virgin (unrefined) coconut oil in place of MCT and be sure to splurge on a low-toxin, high-quality coffee.

Mother of Baby Abandoned on Subway is Arrested
UPDATED | A homeless mother was charged Tuesday with abandoning her 10-month-old girl on a subway platform, the New York Police Department said.
Frankea Dabbs, 20 years old, was charged with pushing Milani Edmonds, who was in a stroller, onto the 1 train platform at 59th Street-Columbus circle around noon on Monday and then boarding the train again.
Ms. Dabbs was awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court. It was unclear if an attorney had been assigned to her case.
Ms. Dabbs said in an interview with detectives that she was the person police were searching and that Milani was her child, a law-enforcement official said.
"She provided detailed information about the infant, including her name, medical history and a physical description," the official said.
The baby showed no signs of abuse or malnourishment, the official said. Milani was evaluated at a local hospital and then handed over to the city Administration for Children's Services, police said.
A spokesman for ACS said they were looking to place Milani with a family member or in a foster home.
A witness said she saw Ms. Dabbs board the northbound train at 42nd Street in Times Square with a baby in a polka dot stroller, a law-enforcement official said
The witness also told police she saw Ms. Dabbs get off at 59th Street and noticed the same baby in the stroller on the platform—but didn't see the woman pushing the stroller with the child, the official said.
Soon after, the witness—who also got out at 59th Street—told investigators she noticed the woman on the train as it was leaving the station, the official said.
The witness waited on the platform for about 20 minutes, believing the woman would return for the baby, the official said. When the woman didn't come back, the witness told an Metropolitan Transportation Authority employee and police.
An image of Ms. Dabbs was captured on a surveillance cameras at the 42nd Street station and released an image of her to the public, the official said.
A person walking on the Upper West Side spotted a woman resembling Ms. Babbs around midnight and alerted a nearby officer. Ms. Babbs walking along Broadway near 72nd Street around midnight when she was taken into custody for questioning, police said.
The official said Ms. Babbs's last known address was in Raleigh, N.C.

Well, what did you expect San Jose to do? Sit around for another four years while Major League Baseball dithers in the on-deck circle, showing no signs of ever stepping to the plate?
The city's choice to file antitrust action Tuesday against MLB regarding the A's ballpark situation was no spur-of-the-moment deal. It was a thoughtfully audacious move. It is designed to wrest the issue away from commissioner Bud Selig and move it into a courthouse -- where the issues can be debated out in the open, rather than behind closed doors by Selig's executive committee of owners.
And the strategy just might work.
The basic question raised by the lawsuit is this: Why shouldn't San Jose residents be free to choose whether they can or should build a downtown ballpark -- instead of having that choice be controlled entirely by MLB and the San Francisco Giants, who claim territorial rights to Santa Clara County and the South Bay?
Sam Liccardo, the San Jose City Council member, first raised the antitrust possibility a few months ago. He had a compelling argument. San Jose has been an excellent team player in all of this up to now.
To review: The city waited with tolerance as MLB formed a "blue-ribbon panel" in 2009 to analyze the A's ballpark situation in Oakland, plus the request by owner Lew Wolff to move to San Jose. But after four years with no resolution, San Jose ran out of patience.
"Four years isn't just a long time to wait for a decision," Liccardo said. "It's a long time to keep a straight face about the idea that baseball is even going to reach a resolution about all this. Major League Baseball makes the United States Congress look positively efficient by comparison."
The final straw might have been when a recent request by San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed to meet personally with Selig on the matter was rebuffed, with the commissioner telling Reed to contact the "blue-ribbon panel" -- the same one that has spent four years spinning its wheels.
At Tuesday's announcement of the lawsuit, Reed was asked if he was concerned about creating a rift between the city and Major League Baseball.
"I'm not worried about a rift," Reed said. "I'm standing up for the citizens of San Jose. ... It's pretty odd for this to be the only city in America that's not permitted to become the home for a major league team."
If nothing else, San Jose's move might goad Selig and the other owners into action. No corporation, even one as rich as MLB, likes to spend money defending itself. And the lead lawyer for San Jose, Joseph Cotchett, has a national track record of challenging companies and corporations to the max. He's taking this case on a contingency basis, at no cost to San Jose taxpayers.
"This is not really a legal issue," Cotchett said Tuesday. "This is a moral issue."
Cotchett is one of those attorneys who never met a sound bite he didn't like. He twice raised the specter of putting Selig on a witness stand to explain why the Bay Area's largest city should be prevented from reaping the economic benefits of a major league ballpark.
In an expected response, an MLB lawyer called San Jose's suit "unfounded." But precedent could be on San Jose's side.
Or maybe you don't remember 1992. That's when MLB stopped Giants owner Bob Lurie from selling the franchise to a Florida group. Selig stepped in and encouraged Peter Magowan to cobble together a new ownership consortium. Lurie was then forced to sell the Giants at a discount to the Magowan group -- which went on to build AT&T Park and have vast success.
For Bay Area fans, the story ended there. But in Tampa and St. Petersburg, officials were outraged. They filed an antitrust case against MLB. After some back-and-forth in the courts, Tampa Bay was granted an expansion franchise that became the Rays.
"Baseball tended to yield to that sort of flag-waving," said Bill Mullins, author of "Becoming Big League," a book about another team spawned from an antitrust case -- the Seattle Mariners.
In 1969, the expansion Seattle Pilots abandoned the city after only one season. Politicians of Washington filed an antitrust case against baseball. After six years of depositions and blustering, the case finally came to trial. Three days into the proceedings, as owners mangled their testimony, a settlement was reached. Seattle was granted a new expansion team that became the Mariners.
San Jose's daring move Tuesday could lead to years of legal wrangling, similar to the Seattle case. But who says MLB would have done anything over the next four years, anyway? The Giants could keep digging in and stonewalling. The big picture is paramount here, even if the A's ultimately can't get a ballpark built and leave the Bay Area. Let's say that 30 or 40 years from now, another baseball franchise wants to move to San Jose. Could the Giants still stifle that deal? How preposterous would that be?
"This is about much more than Lew Wolff and his team," Liccardo said. "It's about San Jose's right of self-determination and its ability to develop the best interests for its citizens, free from the interference of San Francisco billionaires and their lawyers and lobbyists."
Make no mistake. This legal strategy by the City Council is just the start of a protracted, involved, drawn-out extra-inning game. But it finally might yield the most sensible solution: a downtown San Jose ballpark. If that happens in 2025 instead of 2018, fair enough. Right now, a South Bay ballpark can't happen at all. Tuesday's lawsuit makes it far more likely.

As the UN looks for evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, President Bush is sending Congress a new strategy for combating such weapons. It said if biological or chemical weapons are used against the U.S., America can respond with nuclear weapons.
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan is criticizing the Security Council for its handling of Iraq's weapons declaration. He told the BBC that the decision to withhold complete copies of the declaration from non-permanent council members was "unfortunate." Iraq is accusing the U.S. of extortion for taking the only copy of its arms declaration to the UN Security Council.
Norway's foreign minister said some of the countries on the UN Security Council are being treated like "B-nations." The 10 non-permanent members are to get an edited copy of the Iraqi declaration -- with sensitive material censored. Norway said the entire council should get unedited copies.
United Nations weapons inspectors have returned to a large complex where officials said Iraq once worked on a nuclear bomb. Small teams have also been sent out across the Iraqi countryside Wednesday, while another crew is spending a second day in the western desert inspecting a remote uranium mining site.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is visiting the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar. He's scheduled to observe the simulated war games that could be a rehearsal for any war in Iraq.
Iraq Timeline:
Iraq filed its report by the Dec. 8 deadline to provide weapons inspectors and the Security Council with a complete declaration of all aspects of its chemical, biological and nuclear programs.
Weapons inspectors resumed inspections Nov. 27, and are to report to the Security Council 60 days after the start of their work. But they are to immediately report any Iraqi interference with their work, any failure by Iraq to comply with disarmament obligations, and any false statements or omissions in its declaration.
Upon receipt of such a report from inspectors, the Security Council will immediately convene to consider the situation and the need for full compliance in order to restore international peace and security.

School board election challenge (UPDATE): Kelly Horwitz's attorney gives reason to question truthfulness of student affidavits
Another hearing scheduled for November
Published: Thursday, October 31, 2013 at 1:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 31, 2013 at 1:43 p.m.
No evidence has been submitted that proves bribery allegations against members of the University of Alabama's Greek system, Tuscaloosa County Circuit Judge Jim Roberts said Thursday.
Attorneys for Kelly Horwitz, the Tuscaloosa City Board of Education District 4 incumbent who lost to Cason Kirby by 87 votes, have claimed massive voter fraud orchestrated by "The Machine," a group of fraternities and sororities within the university's Greek system. They've said that Greek organizations offered free drinks and other perks to members who voted for Kirby.
"There has not been one shred of evidence to prove that," Roberts said. "I've had bold allegations and not one piece of evidence presented to the court."
Horwitz's attorneys said that they have been prohibited by the judge from taking depositions that could prove their claims.
James Anderson, representing Horwitz, said that someone unwilling to testify on the record provided an email sent to the chapter members of each sorority and fraternity that comprises the organization that's been called "The Machine" for decades. The email, he said, offered each Greek chapter $100 to provide a list of members who are registered voters. The chapter would receive an additional $100 if at least 85 percent of those registered voted in the election. There's nothing wrong with that, Anderson said, but it could reveal the motivation of some organizations to pressure their members to cast Kirby votes. The email was not offered as evidence.
Instead of calling all of the 397 people who cast votes that are being contested to testify, both parties agreed to ask each person to submit a notarized affidavit answering questions about where they lived and whether they were offered inducements to vote.
The hearing held Thursday morning was contentious as attorneys heatedly discussed points of law.
Attorney Andy Campbell, representing Kirby, said after the hearing that the contest should be dismissed.
"This contest has been a total waste of taxpayer money," Campbell said. "We feel like at the end of this case the evidence will validate our position that Mr. Kirby was elected in a free and fair election."
The hearing held Thursday was scheduled for Roberts to hear attorney arguments about the first batch of affidavits sent to the 397 voters whose ballots are contested.
The judge will consider the affidavits before determining whether someone cast an illegal vote. Roberts will dismiss the case if Horwitz attorneys can't prove that at least 87 voters cast potentially illegal votes by Nov. 6.
If a vote is ruled illegal, the voter would be called to testify about how they voted. Horwitz would need at least 88 votes to be declared illegal and 88 voters to say they cast ballots for Kirby to overturn the results.
Only one of the 200 students who returned affidavits said that he was pressured to vote.
"He was probably confused," Campbell said.
Anderson questioned whether the voters who submitted affidavits answered truthfully. For example, he said that nine stated that they lived in Tutwiler Hall on July 28, the date that fell 30 days before the election.
That's impossible, Anderson said, because UA was using the dorm for conferences and summer camps, not student housing, on that date.
Voters must live at the address where they registered at least 30 days before voting in a Tuscaloosa municipal election. Horwitz's lawyers say they can prove that enough voters didn't meet the residency requirement.
Some of the people who submitted affidavits could be called to testify at another hearing scheduled in November. Anderson said that 89 of the approximately 200 that have already been submitted warrant further questioning of the voter.
"For example, 54 people have made a representation since they got here to the University of Alabama this August that their permanent home is somewhere other than where they voted," meaning that they have applied for driver's licenses, car tags or other official documentation using an address outside the district, Anderson said. When attempting to collect the affidavits, Anderson said that many of the students said they were going home for UA's fall break this week, which he said proves those students don't consider Tuscaloosa their permanent home.
Campbell said that most of the students whose votes are in question are sophomore women. Many lived in dorms last semester, he said, before moving into their sorority house in August. Going to live with their parents for the summer didn't disqualify them from voting, he said.
Roberts made no rulings at the hearing held Thursday morning. Another hearing is scheduled Nov. 6 to consider any more affidavits that are submitted. He will also rule about whether to allow Tuscaloosa attorney Robert Prince to intervene as a representative of several fraternity members who are among the contested voters.
"Some students' jobs and lives have been affected by those claims," Campbell said, adding that he has heard from two people whose applications for jobs are on hold while the contest is pending.
Kirby and the rest of the school board will take office Monday.
"I am very excited to get to work," Kirby said. "We have a lot of work to do. That's something I discussed a lot during the actual campaign, and I think voters agreed with that. The Tuscaloosa schools have a long way to go to bring them up to where they should be performing, and I'm looking forward to working very hard to make that happen."

The city of Ashland website has been given a new look to be cleaner and easier to navigate. The new website, designed by Project A, Inc., is scheduled to premier this afternoon.
The changes can be seen at www.ashland.or.us.
"It was time to update it and give it a facelift," said Ann Seltzer, management analyst for the city of Ashland.
Two of the new features of the website will include a "Hot Topics" page and an "Ashland 24/7" page. "Hot Topics" will focus on information about city projects and issues.
The "Ashland 24/7" is being organized to include the constant services that are available to residents online such as utility payments, registration for recreational programs and permit applications, among others.
"Those tools like being able to pay your bill online have always existed," said Seltzer. "We wanted to get all of those tools that people use and are available 24-7 in one place."
The content on these pages already exists on the website, according to Seltzer, but now it will be more user friendly to those who visit. Though she did not readily know the typical visitor count for the site, Seltzer noted that it has more than 4,000 subscribers.
The new pages are being added to already existing features on the website such as public access to agendas, minutes, news, calendars, employment opportunities and city services.

Former Pirate Nyjer Morgan adjusting to life in Japan
In this July 27, 2013 photo, Yokohama DeNa BayStars Nyjer Morgan watches his RBI infield single for the go-ahead run in front of Hanshin Tigers catcher Akira Fujii in the six inning of a baseball game at Koshien Stadium in Nishinomiya, western Japan. (AP Photo/Kyodo News) NAGOYA, Japan (AP) — Given his past as a two-sport athlete (ice hockey and baseball), former Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Nyjer Morgan figured he would have no trouble adjusting to Japan's unique brand of baseball. A slow start and demotion to the minor leagues may have shaken that confidence, but Morgan is now starting to make a major impact with the Yokohama DeNa BayStars of Japan's Central League. The 33-year-old native of San Francisco is batting .303 with 31 RBIs and a career-high seven home runs in 67 games as the No. 3 hitter for the BayStars.

SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers will wait until after the season before resuming talks on a contract extension with coach Jim Harbaugh, CEO Jed York said Thursday on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. Harbaugh has two seasons remaining on a contract (five years, $25 million) he signed upon leaving Stanford in 2011.
"Jim and I will sit down a week or so after the season is over and we'll figure out where we go," York said, adding that he and Harbaugh spoke Wednesday when they decided to table the issue.
York recognizes that Harbaugh's pay grade might skyrocket if the 49ers win their first Super Bowl in 20 years. "Like I've said publicly and very loudly in the past, I hope he has the utmost leverage when we sit down and talk about his contract at the end of the season," York said.
Harbaugh is the only coach in NFL history to reach conference championship games in each of his first three seasons.
Harbaugh discussed his contract goals in an interview Sunday with Bleacher Report's Jason Cole, stating: "I have never asked to be the highest-paid coach in football. I have never asked to be paid like a Super Bowl-winning coach.
"I have never asked for more power, nor has anybody asked for those things on my behalf, which anybody in this organization can attest to, and all the focus will be on the 2014 season and achieving our goals of the team."
The Cleveland Browns inquired in February about acquiring Harbaugh in a trade, which was quickly scuttled after York said he asked Harbaugh of any interest in such a move.
Topping the salary chart among other coaches are believed to be Sean Payton (Saints, $8 million per year), Bill Belichick (Patriots, $7.5 million), Andy Reid (Chiefs, $7.5 million), Jeff Fisher (Rams, $7 million) and John Harbaugh (Ravens, $7 million).
"No, Mike's just working though something. He's fine," said offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who proceeded to praise how improved Crabtree is from his injury-shortened 2013 season.
Crabtree was seen Wednesday off to the side testing out his lower right leg while practice finished up without him.
Crabtree has impressed through the first week of camp. Colin Kaepernick said Tuesday that Crabtree looked "a step or two quicker" and 100 percent recovered from last year's right Achilles tear that sidelined him the first 11 games.
"He's in great shape relative to what he did last year," Roman said. "He came off the Achilles injury and just really gutted it out at the end of the year."
Crabtree has declined interview requests since training camp began and has not spoken to 49ers reporters since the NFC Championship game loss at Seattle.

SANTA CLARA -- Swimming's biggest names bid adieu to the Arena Grand Prix Santa Clara meet with more positive results on a cool Sunday evening.
Cal sophomore Missy Franklin won one of her signature events -- the 100-meter backstroke -- with a time of 1 minute, 0.99 seconds.
Michael Phelps was third in his first 200 individual medley since winning the event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
Phelps, 28, simply ran out of steam at the end after leading for three of the four strokes. But that's OK. Santa Clara was his most rigorous meet since coming out of retirement last year.
"He's light years ahead of where we started," Phelps' coach Bob Bowman said. "It's only going to get better."
Olympian Scott Weltz of San Jose can only hope that he has a similar prognosis. The man who finished fifth in the 200 breaststroke at the London Games dropped out of the medley race Sunday.
For the past year, he has been struggling with hypothyroidism that leaves him listless.
Yet, Weltz, 27, refuses to stop.
He is scheduled to meet his UC Davis coach Pete Motekaitis on Monday to decide what to do for the rest of the summer.
Weltz might shut it down to try to get healthy in time for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. U.S. coaches are telling him as much.
It would mean Weltz, a Bellarmine Prep alum, would forgo the U.S. championships Aug. 6-10 in Irvine and a chance to qualify for the 2015 World Championships.
He wants to swim through his health problems.
"I'm being stubborn," Weltz said at the George F. Haines International Swim Center where he was watching Sunday instead of racing.
"It got me where I am, but being stubborn might now be holding me back."
Weltz was one of the biggest surprises at the 2012 U.S. Olympic trials by qualifying for the London Games. He has stayed loyal to his college coach in Davis instead of joining one of the big training clubs.
Weltz has trained like a monster, but his body keeps betraying him.
"It's stop and go," he said. "I want to be up there again."
But Weltz isn't focused on qualifying for another international team. He just wants to leave the sport on his terms.
If that sounds familiar, check out Phelps' summer. Santa Clara was his third meet since returning to train at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club with Bowman.
Phelps says he just wants to have fun this time around and that nothing can change his legacy.
But don't discount the competitor inside that long-limbed frame. Phelps competed in four events over the weekend, finally seeing progress from his recent training.
But the 22-time Olympic medalist has not had enough time to build the kind of foundation needed to finish a race like Sunday's.
He and his Baltimore teammates arrived in the Bay Area after rigorous high-altitude training in Colorado Springs, Colorado. So, he had reason to be exhausted in the final 50 meters of his last race of the meet.
It allowed training partner Conor Dwyer to chase down Phelps in the freestyle leg to win in 1:59.49.
"I knew it was win or go home with nothing," Dwyer said of winning the grand prix's men's title and $10,000 purse.
Dwyer closed on Phelps in the third leg -- the breaststroke -- launching him to the finish line. Chase Kasliz, another North Baltimore swimmer, also passed Phelps to finish second in 1:59.53. Phelps touched the wall in 1:59.76.
Franklin wanted to break the 1-minute barrier but wasn't disappointed with how the meet went considering Cal swimmers recently did serious training in Santa Cruz.
"I'm more mentally exhausted," Franklin said.
Phelps could relate to that sentiment.

NEW: For a prettier blog interface, see the Wordpress version!
|Find out why emacs-wiki.el is double-publishing when I publish-on-save.
1. publishing my journal as an RSS feed : 12:54
One way to do it is to parse all the day planner pages. I'd need to extract the timestamp, but that shouldn't be too hard because I've already been keeping track of that. I can call this after emacs-wiki-publish, or make it part of a wikipage without header or footer. Hmmm. I'll probably want to force absolute links, then. How do I do that? And I'll want to find out how RSS feeds deal with edits.
Another way to do it is to modify remember.el so that it remembers to an RSS file as well. This seems to make a lot of sense, too, and has the benefit of being able to publish in chronological order. However, if you edit the planner page, your changes won't show up in the RSS feed - which may or may not be a bad thing, after all.
I think hooking into remember.el might be fun.
2. RSS publishing with remember.el : 13:11
I wonder what RSS feed etiquette is. Should I make one huge RSS feed? Should I split it up by year?
3. lazyweb - many eyes make features shallow : 13:21
How did I get there? Google:RSS+blog+etiquette (such a strange query!) led me to http://www.openp2p.com/pub/a/p2p/2003/01/07/lazyweb.html, which links to http://www.blackbeltjones.com/work/mt/archives/000190.html, which wasn't very useful. Google:lazyweb got me http://www.lazyweb.org, though, which seemed to be the definitive resource, except it's somewhat broken and it looks like a not-quite-popular version of http://www.halfbakery.com. However, it did link to http://iawiki.net/LazyWeb, which is good enough to link to.

Thanks to Ateneo, I learned:
- That it's about people, not programs. - That what I learn and do outside the classroom can matter more than what I learn and do inside it. - That it's not enough to know just _how_ to do something, but I also need to consider _why_. - That I'll start college wondering why the heck I take up philosophy and theology, and
graduate realizing I wouldn't be the same without them. - That I should never stop learning. - That I should never stop doing. - That I should never stop teaching. - That I can make a difference. - And whatever I do, do it for others and for God.
I give you my gratitude and my thanks. But most of all, I would like to be able to give you, at the end of the day, a life well-lived.

After seven weeks off, lawmakers returned to work this week. The question is whether lawmakers can work together to head off the so-called financial cliff the nation will reach in just over six weeks.
The financial cliff, of course, is that combination of higher taxes - with the end of the Bush era tax cuts - and spending reductions - so-called sequestration agreed to earlier as a condition of raising the nation's debt limit. Both will hit Dec. 31, just as the ball drops in Times Square.
If nothing is done, it is widely believed the nation will slip back into recession and the nation's unemployment will balloon to more than 9 percent.
The starting points: President Barack Obama wants higher taxes on the rich; House Speaker John Boehner isn't enamored of a tax increase (but he has voiced a willingness to plug so tax loopholes, which are tax increases by another name). Neither side seems excited about automatic meat-ax budget cuts, which sounds good in the abstract but is heartless and foolhardy in reality.
Will the nation speed off the cliff? Probably not. There's no upside for either party, especially for Republicans who still hold a majority in the House but who lost seats there and in the Senate as part of Obama's decisive win over Mitt Romney.
What will be required is a lowering of voices, a more cooperative spirit and, yes, compromise on both sides. That would be a welcome holiday present for the nation.

Fryeburg police are investigating five burglaries in the last week, including three home invasions.
Someone broke into a seasonal home at 12 Baker Circle on Saturday night in the most recent incident, police said.
Police have increased patrols in the East Fryeburg area.
Two people broke into a house at 100 Sanborn Road early Saturday morning, and stole a purse and keys to a car, police said. The residents were asleep when the people entered the house, but after hearing noises, the residents went downstairs and apparently interrupted the crime, police said.
A state police K-9 unit helped investigators recover the keys and purse, but money was missing from the purse, police said.
Police said the incidents might be related to home break-ins on Elkins Brook Road and at the Harvest Hills Animal Shelter. Police said residents in the area should be aware of the break-ins and report suspicious activity.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call 207-935-3323.

VILLANOVA, Pa. -- The court fight over NFL concussions should heat up soon when a judge in Philadelphia weighs the fairness of the proposed $765 million settlement.
Lead players' lawyer Sol Weiss expects the judge's financial expert to advise her "shortly" on his view of the plan.
Senior U.S. District Judge Anita Brody will then hold a fairness hearing, when financial details will emerge.
Brody is concerned the fund won't cover 20,000 retirees for 65 years. And critics say the NFL, with $9 billion in revenues, is getting off lightly.
The program would pay retirees as much as $5 million for the most serious neurological injuries. Speaking Friday at Villanova University outside Philadelphia, Weiss says he's confident the fund is sufficient. He believes most players will sign on rather than fight the NFL in court.

You may think getting a tan from a tanning bed is safer for your skin than a tan from the sun, or that an indoor tan is a great way to boost vitamin D levels. As is turns out, indoor tanning is mostly a great way to damage your skin and a tan is direct evidence of that damage!Read More Below
Not too long ago, "Fry now, pay later" was the slogan for an advertising campaign describing the dangers of unprotected sun exposure and, especially, of using tanning beds. That message beautifully summed up the conclusions from abundant research showing what the 30 million people in the United States who routinely use tanning beds can potentially expect. (Many physicians describe tanning beds, more accurately, as "skin cancer beds.") Even if you don't get skin cancer, tanning of any kind, whether from the sun or from a tanning bed, whether frequent or not, causes cumulative damage that leads to skin changes you're likely going to regret later in life:
Research shows that all of the symptoms listed above can result from tanning, and that they can be significantly reduced if you stop tanning, from the sun or from tanning beds—now! It's never too late to begin protecting your skin from further damage!
Returning to the issue of skin cancer—it's shocking to report that UV radiation from indoor tanning is associated with a 75% increase in melanoma—the deadliest form of skin cancer. The World Health Organization classifies UV radiation as a carcinogen, whether it's from the sun or from tanning beds. And yet, people continue to do it!
Many women think that tanning beds are safer than tanning in the sun, and the Indoor Tanning Association (a pro-tan organization) readily supports that belief. But the truth is, most of the positive information you hear about tanning beds and other types of indoor tanning is lies, or at the very least misleading information. We've gathered the five biggest lies that appear in advertisements for tanning salons and now we give you the research-supported facts you need to save your skin from pain and suffering later.
Truth: The UV light emitted from bulbs in tanning beds is composed primarily of UVA radiation because that is what causes you to tan. Although it's the sun's UVB rays that cause sunburn, it's the UVA rays, from the sun and from tanning bulbs, that are much more insidious and damaging to your skin. UVA rays are mutagenic, which means they destroy or alter the cellular DNA, which in turn causes abnormal cells to be produced. The UVA rays also penetrate much deeper into the skin than UVB rays, so the damage runs deep.
In addition, now there is new research showing that UVA exposure is even more damaging than we once thought. It seems that when UVA radiation hits the skin, it not only penetrates into the lower layers (where it destroys collagen and elastin, and affects the cells' DNA), but also "bounces back," like light reflecting from a mirror, giving every layer of your skin a double-whammy of damage. UVA radiation does prompt tanning, but any tan you see is direct evidence of your skin's response to the onslaught of the damage it has just endured. Let us say it again: Any color change to your skin is a sign it has been damaged—and skin has a long memory when it comes to the damage caused by UVA radiation. In fact, the damage is cumulative, it just keeps building up with each exposure. It's a fact: The more you tan, whether indoors or out, the worse your skin will look as you age (even though you may love how your tan looks now).
Truth: Almost all tanning beds or booths emit UVA radiation—the kind of radiation that causes skin to tan, not burn—but it's actually the UVB radiation that stimulates vitamin D production in the body. That means that the radiation from tanning beds is, at best, only minimally effective in promoting vitamin D production. But, even if that weren't the case, doing something harmful to your skin (tanning) to get something positive (vitamin D) is bad advice. It's like saying cigarette smoking is relaxing, so it's worth the risk of lung cancer or emphysema—really? Without question, you're better off getting your vitamin D from fortified foods or supplements than from the sun's damaging rays, and it's sobering to realize that you can't get sufficient vitamin D from a tanning bed.
Truth: As mentioned in Lie #1, any color change in your skin from exposure to UV radiation is a sign your skin has been damaged. Both UVA and UVB radiation cause mutations to cellular DNA, leading to skin cells that malfunction, cannot repair themselves, and are unable to form new cells correctly—all leading to changes you'll see when you look in the mirror over the years to come. Tanning indoors is especially bad because of your skin's proximity to the radiation source. At such close range, you get a potent dose of UVA radiation that prompts inflammation throughout the body—despite the fact that only hours later you may be marveling at your wonderful tan.
You may have heard that getting a few bad sunburns as a child increases a person's risk of skin cancer. That is true, but it's also true that even those who always tan and never burn also get skin cancer. The real risk of developing skin cancer is directly related to cumulative exposure to UV radiation; it is not simply a matter of whether your skin burns or tans, whether you only expose your skin to UVA rays from tanning beds, or whether you have light or dark skin. Study after study shows that people who use tanning beds are at greater risk for skin cancer, whether they burn or, as is more often the case, tan.
Truth: Many people report that their mood is lifted after a session at the tanning salon, but then many people who smoke cigarettes report feeling better after having one. In both cases, trading one serious problem for another is a fool's game that solves nothing.
Almost every medical expert in the world agrees that there are better, safer, and less expensive ways than tanning for people to boost their mood. Examples include daily exercise, meditation, yoga, eating a healthy diet rich in plant foods and omega-3 fatty acids, and many others, all of which can help relieve the symptoms of depression, improve your overall health, and reduce the risk of disease, and all without putting your skin at risk of pronounced signs of aging and skin cancer.
Truth: Sorry, this just isn't the case. Although applying a well-formulated sunscreen before using a tanning bed helps reduce the damage, it doesn't stop the assault—any amount of tanning is just your skin telling you it's being seriously injured. There is also the issue that tanning beds hit you with concentrated UVA radiation, just inches away from your skin, whereas sun exposure outside is diffused and less intense, although that doesn't negate the cumulative damage caused over time and the critical need for sunscreen and being sun smart.
As for tanning oils—they may spare your skin the drying effects from exposure to UV radiation, but they don't offer a shred of sun protection. Let us be clear: Tanning oils are not protective! They merely provide you with a false sense of security, which may induce you to spend more time in the tanning bed, which in turn only increases your risk for all of the problems that result from UVA radiation.
What it comes down to is this: The only safe tan is one you get from a bottle of self-tanner. There is no such thing as a safe or healthy tan from the sun or from tanning beds. The Indoor Tanning Association works hard to convince you otherwise, that nothing could be better than relaxing in an indoor tanning bed, but believing the lies about indoor tanning is asking for numerous negative effects to your skin's health and, eventually, to an appearance that no one wants. (When was the last time you heard someone exclaim that they can't wait for wrinkles and brown spots to show up?) You may not see the damage now (and you might love being tan), but the damage will show up eventually—and that's the sad truth about tanning, whether from the sun or from tanning beds.

Minor in Urban Poverty Studies
Offered by the Saint Louis University College of Arts and Sciences
- Minor in Urban Poverty Studies
Overview: Micah House is a faith-based program that brings together students in a wide variety of majors to seek long-term solutions to the problems of the urban poor. As a community of students committed to action as well as to study, students explore the challenges facing America's inner cities and put what they learn to the test in model service projects in St. Louis. Students of all faiths are welcome.
Curriculum: SLU's minor in urban poverty studies involves 18 hours of coursework.Incoming freshmen from around the country are admitted in May of their senior year in high school. They live on a special floor of Marguerite Hall, gathering as a community once a week and taking four of their normal core courses in special sections centered on questions of peace and justice. They serve the poor in the Historic Shaw Neighborhood, near campus.
Careers in the Field: The program enrolls students in more than 25 majors, including areas as diverse as psychology, pre-med, engineering, and communication. Participants come from all races, regions, denominations and backgrounds. Since friendships in the program are close and the service is rewarding, most students who join Micah House remain involved throughout their college careers.
About the Faculty: Courses in the urban poverty studies minor are taught by experts in such fields as American Studies, African-American Studies, English, Public Policy Studies, Sociology and Social Work.
Internship Opportunities: Since the aim of Micah House is to address urban problems effectively through careful study and committed service, student research is very important. Samples of student projects are available at http://www.slu.edu/outreach/micah/
For more information, contact Micah House Director Donald Stump or Coordinator Debra Wilson at (314) 977-3615.
