Seib & Wessel: What We're Reading Friday
By Gerald F. Seib and David Wessel
Recommended reading from around the Web:
The Obama administration's effort to close the terror detention center at Guantanamo Bay has hit a snag in the form of prisoners who don't want to leave. Two detainees from Algeria are fighting return to their homeland, saying they fear what will happen to them if they return. [WSJ]
New York Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy is suing asbestos companies alleging she contracted lung cancer from asbestos fibers brought home by her father and brothers from their jobs, not from her own smoking, joining a legal trend in which lawyers are filing suits on behalf of cancer victims claiming their problems are the result of asbestos rather than tobacco. [Forbes]
Business groups have launched PACs to defend Republican Rep. Mike Simpson from a challenge led by the conservative Club for Growth, making his Idaho race a prime example of the split between the party's tea party and business wings. [WSJ]
Lee Smith (@stronghorsebook) writes that economic sanctions, which don't hurt Iran's ruling class, weren't as big a factor in pushing Iran to a nuclear deal as imagined, but that the easing of sanctions will give a lot of countries and companies interested in doing business with Iran a stake in seeing that a deal with Tehran sticks and expands. [Weekly Standard]
Maybe our brains are not wired to use a site like HealthCare.gov, which offers consumers a variety of choices and forces them to weigh long-term risks and benefits, which people often have difficulty handling, writes Dhruv Khullar (@DhruvKhullar). The exchanges have the potential to work well, but consumers need the right support and guidance to make the system function. [Politico]
President Barack Obama should be allowed to run for re-election, writes New York University history professor Jonathan Zimmerman. "Anything less diminishes our leaders and ourselves," he writes. With the prospect of a third term, the president wouldn't face attacks from his own party and he would have to fear the voters. [Washington Post]
The U.S. should push the case for regular three-way summits between the leaders of Japan, China and Korea to create momentum toward deeper ties, but Vice President Joe Biden's sternest conversation should be with Communist leaders in Beijing, writes William Pesek (@WilliamPesek). While China says its global ambitions are peaceful and it believes in mutual respect for other countries' domestic affairs, Beijing's recent actions in the East China Sea inspire little confidence, he writes. [Bloomberg]
Ben Judah (@b_judah) writes that Russia needs a leader strong enough to break the cycle of corruption, heroin and HIV, and criticizes both the ruling elite — an insulated and wealthy plutocracy disconnected from its empire – and the Russian opposition, who take no interest in the plagues of the poor. [Financial Times]
What We're Writing
What the World Needs Now: In Capital, David Wessel examines a global economy being tugged in different directions by the major powers and suggests a more cohesive strategy focused on stoking spending, easing trade barriers and promises of more cooperation in the future.
Our Videos
Nuclear Deal Struck With Iran: Iran has agreed to halt further production of its nuclear stocks in exchange for a loosening of economic sanctions, a temporary deal that raises hopes for a permanent one. Also: Is Obamacare, at long last, turning a corner? Watch the full show or segments below:
Nuclear Breakthrough With Iran
Sign of the Times
Minor milestones we've spotted:
Eighty-nine percent of college grads with kids are married, but only 64% of non-high-school grads are married. [Pew Research Center]
Sixty-two percent of young adults prefer print to eBooks. [Voxburner]
Forty percent of foreign students in the U.S. have no close friends on campus. [Quartz]
The average weight for an American-produced turkey is more than 30 pounds for the first time ever. [The Atlantic]
About 140 million people are expected to shop over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, a decline from the 147 million who planned to do so last year, according to the National Retail Federation. [WSJ]
Amtrak says the 16.2% of the Acela trains on the Boston-D.C. route were late over the past 12 months. [Amtrak]
Trade between China and Latin America today is 21 times larger than it was in 2000. [America Economia]
In Germany, the number of jobless jumped by 10,000 in November, the fourth consecutive monthly rise of unemployed. [Quartz]
While developing countries account for about half of new cancer cases, they have about 70% of cancer deaths. [Bloomberg]

"This format worked well to put all of our directions / party rules (for a white elephant gift exchange) on the back of the postcard. It really turned out adorable!"
"This is a very nice design that required little alteration from the original sample. I did change the party details from red font to green as the red was a little hard to read and the green helped it stand out a bit better against the black background. I really like the size of these invitations as they won't get lost in the mail and are easy to read. The design was also an easy match for stock Avery address labels so it was simple to create affordable matching labels."

I know there's countless benefits to running with a club. Accountability, comraderie, sag wagon. But I think going solo has gotten a bad reputation. No one to flake on you. Nobody to complicate the plans. Don't get me wrong, I can't say enough about my friends. But there's a feeling you get when all you have is your steps, your breath, and heart. No distractions... Only you and the simple raw process of running. You balance pain and elation, love and hate. This is where social status has no weight. You're no longer a cog in the machine... No, not now. You are a runner. And when I'm running... I am the king of my road. I make the pain my friend; he will always be there. Think I'm in a bit of a slump. I'm going to grab my 890's and and see how far that road goes.
I'm with you - whatever floats your boat is best. I can't imagine trying to work other people into my workouts. I'm so damn moody and unpredictable, I hate to imagine bringing some poor person who's just out for a little self-improvement into that world of mine...it isn't always happy time, that's for damn sure.
Are you just being paid to post to advertise the 890s?
I wish I got paid, not even close to fast enough for that. You ran a 2:43 in Boston. That's great! I've always had a horrible time on that course. You quote is Green Day right. They put on an incredible show.
That Boston race remains the only race I've ever stopped and walked. I really have no idea how I did those two marathons. I chalk it up to just being a stupid kid that had no idea what I was doing. Kind of like the old bumblebee thing - it's been proven they can't fly based on the shape of their anatomy but they don't know that so they just go ahead and do it.
The Green Day quote seems to sum up my love/hate relationship with running. It's been a hell of a ride.
Good luck getting out of the slump. I find myself there more than I like, but I think I'm learning how to keep them to a minimum. We'll see about that, the next time I'm in one . Currently training to try to BQ again, and that has reinvigorated me.
i use to run with another person. but after several times when that person wouldnt show up and left me waiting, ive decided to run by myself. I feel i can run when i want, for whatever distance i want without worrying about the next person. Besides, i think running is an individual sport. Your challenging yourself on what you can accomplish. Ive ran with some people during races, maybe at the start, but we break off eventually and run our own races.
I've never really run with other people... I've ridden to races with others but once we're on the course it's everyone for themselves since we were all at different fitness levels. All of my weekly runs are solo.
New Year's Color Run (5k) - 01/01/13
Oshkosh Half-Marathon - 04/21/13
I've only been running a very short time. To date it has been 100% solo. I run before everyone at home wakes up and before I go to work. It's my peace time.
Besides, I don't want to hold anyone back with my slow pace.
Coastal Georgia
I ran with a friend for the first 10 years up until last year when she quit running for various reasons.We did nearly all our running together including races. I really enjoyed her company and she was a girls crosscountry coach at a local college so I always had others to run with and I learned alot. All that being said since I've been running myself I think I like it better. I have an easier time getting my runs in not having to work around others schedules and it doesn't take nearly as long with all the unrelated things.I also found I can run the distance and pace I need for the time easier. She still is a great friend but I probably will stay solo if/when she decides to return. I'll keep running with others for race day.
Running alone is the only method I know. I have never been out for a run with anyone other than my cat. For me running is an individual sport and I am constantly competing against myself to make small improvements.
However, when my running improves, I would like to join a running club for an occassional group run. Of course, I need to find a slow runners group so that I won't be too stressed about keeping up with the others.

I enjoy running solo, but I do like running with groups as a change-of-pace. The best thing about running solo is, as mentioned, you don't need to rely on anyone else and there is no need to coordinate schedules.
Golden Tipps: Your cat will run with you? I've had neighborhood cats follow me for a bit to try to get attention or food, but I would love to see a cat running partner!

Golden Tipps was a stray cat that used to hang out in the woods near my house. Then I started feeding him and he started following me and I adopted him. In fact, he constantly follows me. So, I guess it was easy for me to get him to come jogging with me. BTW, he is pretty fast, much faster than me.

I have running casually for about 3 years now. I mean casually. I probalby only log about 5-10 miles a week and run about 5-6 5ks a year. I plan to run my first 10k in the spring. I have never run with a group so I am not sure if I'd like it. I am not a person who likes to run and talk. I know there are obvious perks about it as I see from my friends in California but for me right now running alone works for me. I am a slow runner and run at my own pace and try to make small improvements for myself over time. I might try a running group at some point but I realy enjoy running solo. I turn on my ipod, get in the groove and just 'go away'.
Solo is the only way to go for me. That's one of the many reasons I run: To be alone in my zone with no distractions. Without it, I think I'd go crazy.
I agree, solo is not so bad. I've been blessed to have the running experiences that I"ve had over the years. I have fond memories of different xc school teams I've been a part of, and club runners I've run with. After the college days I generally had a small circle of other runners I would run with from time to time. And after that I had a good friend who I worked for for a while. He (Tom) and I were running buddies for a long time. These last 15 years I've done mostly solo running. I still have that passion for running as I did when I was a teenager. But its different now. Solo running made me realize just how much I enjoy running still, for fun and for free. Every once in a while I run with someone and that's cool. I haven't done a 5k or 10k for a while I'm about due.
"Peace" Long May You Run
Yes, it seems we're in the minority, but the solo run is a thing of beauty, of peace, and of convenience. A joy we can give ourselves whenever the mood dictates. Long may it reign!

About Us > Newsroom > Knowing Risk Factors Can Prevent Colon Cancer
Colorectal cancer is the third biggest cancer killer in the United States, killing an estimated 50,000 people every year, according to the American Caner Society. It doesn't have to be that way. Early detection can reduce the colon-cancer death toll through prevention and treatment.
Regular colonoscopies can catch colon polyps before they have a chance to turn into cancer. Head of Gastroenterology at National Jewish Health, Phillip Hanna, MD, recommends that people with no identified risk factors should begin regular colonoscopies at age 50. Those who have risk factors for colon cancer should be screened earlier and more frequently.
Dr. Hanna identifies the following risk factors for colorectal cancer, which suggest earlier and more frequent detection efforts:
Family history. Colon cancer does is known to be passed down genetically, so if your family has a history of colon cancer it is important that you get screened in your 40s.Race. The highest incidence and death rates of colon cancer are seen in African Americans. Dr. Hanna recommends that all African Americans, both men and women, begin screening for colon cancer at age 45.Smoking. Mounting evidence suggests that smoking increases the risk of colon cancer. Diet. Studies show that diets that are heavy in red and processed meats and low in fruits, vegetables and grains are associated with a higher incidence of colon cancer.Lifestyle. People who exercise regularly appear seem to have a decreased risk of colon cancer. Conversely, inactive lifestyles may be associated with an increased risk.
National Jewish Health is known worldwide for treatment of patients with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders, and for groundbreaking medical research. Founded in 1899 as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish remains the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to these disorders. U.S. News & World Report has ranked National Jewish the #1 respiratory hospital in the nation since 1998.

SAN LEANDRO -- Caltrans crews will begin widening a three-mile stretch of Interstate 880 in San Leandro later this month to add a southbound carpool lane and replace two overpasses. As a result, drivers will soon see nightly ramp and lane closures between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Completion of the first segment, which spans from Hegenberger Road to just north of Davis Street, is scheduled for the fall of 2014. The second segment, from Davis Street to just south of Marina Boulevard, is slated to be done by spring 2016 and includes new overpasses at Davis Street and Marina Boulevard to "improve vertical clearance on Interstate 880 and reduce the frequency of big rigs with high loads hitting the bridges," according to the Caltrans website.
Plans also include replacing 3,000 feet of soundwall, widening the San Leandro Creek Bridge, improving pedestrian access and bike lanes on the Davis Street overpass and reconstructing on- and offramps at 98th Avenue and Hegenberger Road.
Caltrans staff said the project -- estimated to cost $83.4 million -- aims to ease congestion on I-880, which is expected to see a 30 percent increase in traffic volume by 2035. A new left turn on westbound Marina Boulevard to the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center development is also being considered.
Caltrans' tentative plans were met with concern by several City Council members when presented to the City Council Monday night, particularly plans to do pile driving for the first half of the new Davis Street overpass between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. on four nights in May. The second half will be done next May. Pile driving for the first half of the Marina Boulevard overpass is scheduled during daytime hours in April, and the second half will be done next April and May.
Councilman Jim Prola, whose district includes the Davis Street overpass, suggested the pile driving take place at alternate times on the weekends or during lower traffic times midweek during the day rather than through the night.
"Pile driving is literally something that will drive people crazy. It's just constant, a constant bang," Prola said. "Somebody who lives in that Davis West neighborhood, it's going to be unbearable, especially if you do it from 10 to 5. I mean, it's just unrealistic to think that you can do that for that long, period, and not disrupt somebody's sleep."
An option mentioned by city staff to offer hotel vouchers to residents unable to sleep was well received by multiple council members and Wafaa Aborashed, president of Davis West Neighborhood Group.
"If these people are going to be impacted for those days, count on it that you take people out of their homes and take care of them," said Aborashed, a 22-year resident. "No kid is going to sleep that night. No worker is going to sleep that night. We are all going to be impacted. ... I am really concerned about the quality of life for my community, 410 houses that are going to be impacted by this."
Mayor Stephen Cassidy said community outreach on the project needs to be ramped up and suggested additional public meetings once the pile driving begins.
Caltrans is hosting two open-house meetings Jan. 16 to share information about the project. More information can be found at www.dot.ca.gov/dist4/880sbhovlane.

This video, starring our very own Dr. Jewett & Gail Proctor at the Rochester Health Center, describes how rural health care providers responded to Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. It was released last week during National Public Health Week, April 2-6, 2012.
With many bridges and roadways washed out after tropical storm Irene, it wasn't just commuters, farmers, and tourists who were cut off. Health care providers as well as patients were cut off from clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies until roads were opened again.
In Rochester, Vermont, rural providers had to use two-way radios, cell phones, and 4-wheelers to get prescriptions filled and delivered to patients in need.
The State Office of Rural Health & Primary Care, a part of the Vermont Department of Health, works with and supports small rural hospitals, clinics and health care providers throughout Vermont to improve access to primary care, dental, and mental health care for all Vermonters, especially the uninsured, underserved and those living far from larger medical centers.

3.7-12 Statutory Negligence - Driving in
Right-Hand Lane
Revised to January 1, 2008
The plaintiff alleges that the
defendant failed to drive on the right side of the highway in violation of
General Statutes § 14-230. Section 14-230 requires that vehicles be driven on
the right side of a two-lane highway except in certain situations. Under the
statute a driver may move from the right side of the highway:
when overtaking and passing another
vehicle proceeding in the same direction;
when overtaking and passing
pedestrians, parked vehicles, animals or obstructions on the right side of the
when the right side of a highway is
closed to traffic while under construction or repair.
When considering whether the defendant
violated this statutory section you should first determine if the defendant
failed to drive on the right side of the highway. If the defendant failed to
drive on the right side of the highway, you should then determine whether any of
the statutory exceptions existed. If you find that the plaintiff has proven by
a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant failed to comply with the
statute's requirements and that none of the exceptions apply, then the defendant
was negligent in violation of this statute.
General Statutes § 14-230 (a). This statute section does
not apply to a highway divided into three or more marked lanes for travel or one
which is designated and signposted for one-way traffic. See Maciejewska v.
Lombard Bros. Inc., 171 Conn. 35 (1976) (exception four of statute applied
because highway in question had three or more marked lanes for traffic).
Subsection (b) of the statute applies when a vehicle is proceeding at less than
the normal speed of traffic and subsection (c) applies to vehicles which exceed
the maximum width limitations. When these subsections apply, the charge should
be modified accordingly.

PMS v1.10.51
PS3 has not been found. Is it on? You can also check traces and/or configuration, or also the debug.log file
My PS3 is on and it recognizes a WMP media server and google media server. The problem with using these 2 piece of crap solutions is that they always.. no matter what say that there are no titles when I select from the predetermined list of folders. My media is not in these folders, it is in another folder on another HDD that is shared on the network and that all my PC's have no trouble accessing... just can't access it with the PS3.
I am using a Linksys WRT54G Wireless router and the PS3 is connected wirelessly. Again, it has access to other media folders and with google media server I can play youtube content in the living room (although the quality sucks... it pauses a lot).
The latest PC I built has the following specs:
Windows XP Pro SP3
Am using McAfee personal firewall (even turned off PMS can not find the PS3)
Using an eVGA 750i SLI FTW motherboard
E8600 CPU (OC'd to 4.4GHz)
evga GTX 260 superclocked
8GB of memory (4x2)... I currently only have 4 in the system and am using the x86 version of xp pro, will swap this out later (yea, I'm aware of the memory restrictions in a 32 bit environment, it has no impact on PMS).
all my motherboards use gigabit networking... 750i FTW, P5N-D, and the P5N-E

SAN MATEO -- In the very same structure where her father once locked horns with Big Oil, Cathy Oyster may soon be handing out espressos and smoothies.
Oyster and her husband, Carlos Lopez, are seeking the city of San Mateo's approval to expand Espresso Lane, their Redwood City drive-through coffee business, to a property on El Camino Real that formerly housed a gas station run by her father. Bob Oyster shuttered the station four years ago after clashing with Shell Oil over the company's rent hikes.
The coffee kiosk would be the first of its kind in San Mateo and a new beginning for the Oysters, who reached an agreement with Shell two years ago to buy the lot. It sits on a 20th Avenue corner, just south of Highway 92 and less than half a mile from City Hall and Serra High School.
"It's just kind of a key location in San Mateo," said Cathy Oyster, who envisions a steady demand for frozen yogurt and smoothies from students at Serra as well as two nearby public high schools. "The site could not be better."
Her father thinks it will be a good spot for snaring commuters getting on and off Highway 92. It was a nice place for a gas station, too, until Shell more than tripled Bob Oyster's rent. So he jacked up his gas prices, both to make ends meet and protest the rent increase. He was known for having some of the highest prices in the Bay Area.
The elder Oyster is now retired, and he prefers not to rehash the dispute. He's more interested in his daughter's growing career as a businesswoman.
"It did end on a sour note, and now it's coming back as something I can enjoy again," said Bob Oyster, 73. "I'm so happy that what was my mine for almost 30 years is now my daughter's, and I'm looking forward to seeing her flourish there."
Besides the original Espresso Lane, Cathy Oyster and her husband also own Young's Ice Cream & Candy Bar in downtown Redwood City. But before they can open a second coffee kiosk, they will need to secure a special-use permit from the San Mateo Planning Commission.
The drive-through is not a perfect fit with the city's long-term plan for El Camino Real, which envisions a pedestrian-friendly corridor lined with multistory buildings that combine retail and housing. Still, the project received a mostly favorable response from the commission at a preliminary review Jan. 23.
"Does it really do what we're hoping to see in the grand picture of the El Camino?" asked Commissioner Rick Bonilla. "Not exactly. But I don't think that all of El Camino, every single lot, is really going to conform to that anyway, maybe not for 100 years."
Drive-through coffee is a rarity in the San Mateo area, but it's taken hold in Redwood City and other spots on the Peninsula. It's an alluring option, Cathy Oyster said, for multitaskers or parents with kids strapped into car seats.
"We have tons of customers who are listening to something going on in their life, a phone call or music or a radio show, and we let them do two things at once," said Cathy. "Our idea is you have your own symphony to life -- we don't alter your rhythm at all."

RECRUITING: Marlon Humphrey trims list to three schools
Published: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 7, 2013 at 10:50 p.m.
The University of Alabama welcomed several visitors on campus for the homecoming win against Georgia State. The most notable player in Tuscaloosa was Marlon Humphrey, five-star cornerback from Hoover High School. A couple of Crimson Tide commitments were on campus and a possible future commitment in the class of 2015 also watched the game.
Humphrey is ranked the No. 5 overall prospect in the country, and No. 1 player in the state. The Tide legacy, son of former Alabaman All-American running back Bobby Humphrey, recently eliminated South Carolina from his list of favorites. He is currently talking with Alabama, Florida State and Mississippi State. He has an official visit set to Florida State on Nov. 2. His visit to Tuscaloosa on Saturday was the first of the season. He will likely return for a few more games including the November date with LSU.
Humphrey originally discussed announcing his commitment at the Under Armour All-America game in January. Now, he said his decision will likely happen on signing day, which is the first Wednesday in February.
Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart has taken a significant role in the recruiting efforts of Humphrey for the Tide. His area recruiter is offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier. Humphrey is recruited by Florida State's defensive coordinator, Jeremy Pruitt, who is a former Alabama assistant coach and Hoover defensive coordinator.
Mississippi State is probably the most surprising team still in the race for Humphrey's signature. The Bulldogs have also offered a few of Humphrey's teammates in the 2015 class with hopes of forming a pipeline. Mississippi State defensive coordinator Geoff Collins and cornerbacks coach Deshea Townsend are the lead recruiters. Townsend is also a former Alabama player, and Collins was the director of player personnel at Alabama in 2007.
Bo Scarbrough, Rivals100 athlete and Alabama commitment from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., returned to Tuscaloosa on Saturday. It was more than just Alabama's homecoming for Scarbrough, who moved from Tuscaloosa to Florida in August. Scarbrough is having a great season, but the biggest concern the past few months has been academics. He is still working to improve his test scores and GPA.
Other programs are working on Scarbrough to flip his commitment, including Florida and Florida State. Scarbrough visited the Gators two weeks ago. He has an official visit scheduled to Notre Dame on October 19. He is also talking with UCLA and Miami about possible visits. He was presented with his Under Armour All-America game jersey last week.
"It's just a blessing," Scarbrough said of his selection as an Under Armour All-American. "It feels great to be a part of something like this especially since it's played on ESPNU. I feel great to be selected out of so many kids in the country. Some kids don't get this opportunity."
Mekhi Brown, 2015 five-star defensive end from Carver High in Columbus, Ga., also returned to Tuscaloosa on Saturday. The Alabama commitment visited for the Ole Miss game and plans to return when Alabama hosts Tennessee.
"It was a good win, a solid win," Brown said. "The young guys looked good. I was really watching Xzavier Dickson and Adrian Hubbard. I thought they played really good. I see a lot of similarities between me and Hubbard."
Lester Cotton, 2015 offensive guard from Central High in Tuscaloosa, was on campus for the game. He has close to 10 scholarship offers including Alabama. The Tide is a heavy favorite to land Cotton's commitment which may come sooner rather than later.

And then there's 7/15/03, which...
But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. The first set starts off with a fine triptych of songs, then...well, let's just say none of the songs I play are exactly my favorites, but it's a first set, so that's no big deal, and the first review posted here explains the balladry pretty well. But there's still time left in the set, and Phish use it well by giving us a very good, if not top notch, Mike's Groove. Mike's locks into a mid-tempo jam that might be considered prototypical 2.0, never heading for the stratosphere but still plenty full of dynamic Trey playing (and Page really going elbows-on-keys flashy style on the organs). Hydrogen is just fine, and Weekapaug also delivers a fine jam that stays in low throttle but delivers some thrills. You won't reach for this the way you would 7/17/98 or NYE '95 or any of the great Mike's Grooves, but it certainly helps raise the level of this first set.
Then comes the second set, and one of the best one-offs ever: TAB mainstay Mr. Completely, a quite good rock number that deserved more than one outing from Phish. And from that Mr. Completely comes 30 minutes of high class jamming, Trey wringing some outright fugly notes out of his guitar as the band keeps pace with all the noise, picking up and slowing down the tempo at will, Mike & Page in particular doing some real work in the middle section as a hypnotic, claustrophobic funk(!) groove emerges, not as razor-sharp as '97 (though what is?), but compelling all the same (and eminently danceable). Trey starts throwing in some sharp, stabbing guitar lines, and the jam opens back up nicely for some sweet rock heroics.
Then things get weird. From out of nowhere the group rolls into a deliberate, grungy Low Rider, Trey working his effects pedals, the group churning out a very cool instrumental version. The jam peters out, and the band charges into BBFCM, Phish's goofy version of a hardcore song (to me, at least), before segueing into a weird, too-fast Buried Alive (managing to make it sound just as ugly as BBFCM, in a good way, of course), then jumping right back into BBFCM, which leads to Ha Ha Ha for a grand total of 30 seconds, then *jumping right back into BBFCM*, from which out of the muck Mr. Completely triumphantly returns for a nice mini-jam that leads into Spread It 'Round. Then comes a very strong Walls of the Cave, Mike dropping bombs aplenty, Page giving us even more sweet organ work in a particularly busy jam. Golgi > Slave is a nice way to close one of 2003's best sets, a segue-fest on the level of any of the crazed 1994 Tweezers, but with a darker, less goofball innocent feel.
Which then puts this show in a weird spot. In a way, it's almost a man without a country, a big goofy show in a year where goofiness was in short supply, that has little to do with the style of playing that surrounds it. If you want a show that shows you what 2.0 is all about, you'd best look elsewhere (I point you again in the direction of IT). If you want a great, thoroughly enjoyable show, you've come to the right place.

More about Pre-Engineering If you're interested in engineering, you have several options to pursue at Colgate, including cooperative plans with prestigious engineering schools. One option is that you can major in physics at Colgate and then attend graduate school in engineering. Alternatively, you can pursue one of our cooperative plans between Colgate and an engineering school. The cooperative plan option allows you to combine three years of education in the liberal arts with two years of engineering training at a cooperative institution (the 3-2 plan). We have cooperative agreements with Columbia University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Washington University. If you declare your concentration and intention to pursue such a program, you will begin consultation with the pre-engineering adviser to ensure that you fulfill all of Colgate's requirements and engineering school prerequisites. In a cooperative program, you will spend three years at Colgate and two at the engineering school to earn bachelor's degrees from both institutions. It may also be possible for you to continue study for a master of science (MS) degree from the engineering school with as little as one additional year of study.

If you are thinking of joining Active.com you should be aware that they take your credit card and save it with no way for you to delete it from their system and make it as difficult as possible to cancel. I had to learn from this forum by searching for how to do it that you must call and be on hold forever before you get connected to some distant call center where they take forever to find your membership and cancel it. Based upon the low level of service and their hiding how to cancel from users, I can only assume they would ignore email requests to cancel.
If you are not a member, I would recommend that you do NOT join ever.
I'm sorry it took so long for you to get someone to help you. Just to note, if you guys ever need help with issues like this in the future, you can always PM me or @reply our team for help. Here's some more info about Active Advantage Memberships
This is ridiculous, there is NO clear way to cancel your membership. How sad that this company has to sneak around just to get a lousy $60 out of people. Nowhere on the website it there a "cancel" button. And if there is, please provide me the direct link to cancel the membership.
I'm trying to cancel right now and ran across this post... I was really hoping for a last reply that said, "No, wait, we have a link HERE". I guess I have to go sit on hold for a while.
I just called 1.877.228.4881 and got my account cancelled in less than 5 minutes. The guy I spoke to was nice - did not ask any questions or giving me a hard time. It was not a bad experience at all. The hardest part was really finding the phone number. Once I got that, it was a breeze.
this is baloney! i havent used this active bs crap in years and i just found out my card has been getting charged. obviously this is happening to a lot of people. im most certain there is a way to bring a lawsuit against them.
I don't recall ever giving a credit card number. I have not been on in a very long time. I thought the membership was free. but If you wanted the extra membership that cost money. Now I am confused. I looked at my information and it doesn't show a credit card..any thoughts?
It is a shady scam.
I have been on hold for 13 minutes now, and they are so shady, that the music they play gets intentionally loud and soft, with bursts of static, and intentional clicking sounds that makes it unbearable to listen, even on speakerphone beside you as try to pass the time while they hope to get you to hang up.
16 minutes later. It turns out that my Credit Card was charged a $10 and it was because I made an online donation to a friend's hospital, so if your charge is NOT $49 or $59, you may want to reflect upon any online donations you may have made.
But based on what I have read, and on my Hold experience, it sounds like a total scam. Good luck all.
I agree I had no idea there was a charge. I did one event with them and paid for that. I didn't realize just to be ont he website cost money as well and I was never notified that if I didn't cancel soon I was going to be charged. I only have one job right now. This company should be ashamed of themselves.
The website is free to use. You only get charged if you signed up for extra membership or training plans or whatever. Just registering and paying online for a race doesn't mean you will get charged additionally.

John Clay 5K 2008 – 50:30
Pilot Club 5K 2008 – 49:45:44
Race for the Cure 3/13/10 - 49:39:12
I agree, it was really easy to cancel. The wait on hold was long and I could hardly stand to listen to the sounds, but once I was connected to a rep, I asked to cancel my membership and did so and said the charge would be reversed and that was it. I was expecting to have to campaign for my money, but I didn't need to at all.
Same thing happened to me...saw a charge for 59.95 due to an automated renewal of my annual membership. Called up, was on hold for a little bit, but once an agent picked up, she cancelled the membership and gave me a full refund, no questions asked...she couldn't have been any nicer. It really wasn't an issue.
Just a word of caution to the quick clickers. There is an option for "free trial" membership at the bottom of an event registration page that is defaulted to checked. This free trial signs you up for automatic renewal after a period of time.
Had to wait for 30 mins. So be ready for that..
E-mail your request to firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com and phrase your cancellation request as follows:
"Cancel my account with Activeadvantage (aka Active) and DO NOT charge my credit card after the next billing cycle. This e-mail constitutes a formal request to discontinue all charges against my credit card account. Future charges will be considered fraudulant and legal action will be pursued."
You will receive a system-generated response (as is the norm) saying "Thank you for contacting Active.com! We have received your e-mail" This auto-generated reply constitutes acknowledgement of your request.
A little too heavy-handed perhaps but it worked.
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

Dressing in layers, protecting your hands and feet, and paying attention to the forecast can help you stay safe and warm while exercising outdoors in cold weather.
Cold weather can discourage even the most motivated exercisers. And if you're not as motivated, it's all too easy to pack away your workout gear along with your warm-weather clothing. But you don't have to let cold weather spell the end of your exercise. With these tips for exercising during cold weather, you can stay fit, motivated and warm when the weather turns chilly.
Almost everyone can exercise safely during cold weather. But if you have certain conditions, such as asthma, heart problems or Raynaud's disease, check with your doctor before you work out in cold weather. Your doctor can review any special precautions you need based on your condition or medications you might take.
The following tips can help you stay safe — and warm — while exercising in the cold.
Before heading out, check the forecast for the time you'll be outside. Temperature, wind and moisture, along with the length of time that you'll be outside, are key considerations in planning a safe cold-weather workout.
The combination of wind and cold make up the wind chill index, which is commonly included in winter weather forecasts. Wind chill extremes can make exercising outdoors unsafe even if you dress warmly. The wind can penetrate your clothes and remove the insulating layer of warm air that surrounds your body, and any exposed skin is vulnerable to frostbite.
Although the risk of frostbite is less than 5 percent when the air temperature is above 5 F (minus 15 C), the risk increases as the wind chill falls. At wind chill levels below minus 18 F (minus 27 C), frostbite can occur on exposed skin in 30 minutes or less.
If the temperature dips below 0 F (minus 17.8 C) or the wind chill is extreme, consider taking a break or choosing an indoor exercise instead. Similarly, consider putting off your workout if it's raining or snowing unless you have waterproof gear. Getting wet makes you more vulnerable to the cold. And if you get soaked, you may not be able to keep your core body temperature high enough.
Frostbite is an injury to the body that is caused by freezing. Frostbite is most common on exposed skin, such as your cheeks, nose and ears, but it can also occur on hands and feet. Early warning signs include numbness, loss of feeling or a stinging sensation.
If you suspect frostbite, get out of the cold immediately and slowly warm the affected area — but don't rub it since that can damage your skin. If numbness continues, seek emergency care.
Hypothermia is abnormally low body temperature. When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. Exercising in cold, rainy weather increases the risk of hypothermia, as does being an older adult.
Hypothermia signs and symptoms include intense shivering, slurred speech, loss of coordination and fatigue. Seek emergency help right away for possible hypothermia.
One of the biggest mistakes you can make when exercising in cold weather is to dress too warmly. Exercise generates a considerable amount of heat — enough to make you feel like it's much warmer than it really is. The evaporation of sweat, however, can make you lose heat from your body and feel chilled. The solution?
Dress in layers that you can remove as soon as you start to sweat and then put back on as needed. First, put on a thin layer of synthetic material, such as polypropylene, which draws sweat away from your body. Avoid cotton, which stays wet next to your skin.
Next, add a layer of fleece or wool for insulation. Top this with a waterproof, breathable outer layer.
You may need to experiment before you find a combination of clothing that works well for you based on your exercise intensity. If you're lean, you may need more insulation than someone who is heavier.
Keep in mind, too, that stop-and-go activities, such as mixing walking with running, can make you more vulnerable to the cold if you repeatedly work up a sweat and then get chilly.

Hi. Thanks for a great package, it installed perfectly on my 11.04!
However, I want it *not* to start at startup at the moment, so I went into the /etc/init.d/pms-linux script to disable auto startup. It seems to me as if you should change the value on this line:
PMS_START=1 # Wether to start or not pms-linux server at boot time.
So I put "0" there instead. But it still starts at bootup. I am a ubuntu newbie and have not found any explicit info on what the value should be here. Anyone know how I am supposed to do here?

Prosecutor finds a way to spank payday lender doing business in NH
NY prosecutor Ben Lawsky hit upon an idea; an end run around the constitutional rules that had stymied other state regulators. If he could convince the banks to cut off access to the nationwide network that allowed Carey V. Brown to reach into consumers' piggy banks, then Lawsky could force Brown to follow state law without waiting for the feds to act.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A request to change Augusta's ethics code has uncovered others dealings some might even call shady.
Commissioner Wayne Guilfoyle admits his company has acted as a subcontractor with the city.
It's a direct violation of the city's code of ethics.
"I need to get off camera," said Commissioner Marion Williams.
Commissioners learned behind closed doors that some city leaders could be working as subcontractors on city contracts.
"We actually did an FBO at the airport," Guilfoyle said.
Commissioner Guilfoyle admits to doing business with the city while in office. His company Augusta Tile Crafters acted as a subcontractor and did work at the airport.
It's a direct violation of the code of ethics.
"The bidding process started before I came on board. I didn't hide anything from the media or any of my colleagues. I abstained on every issue," Guilfoyle said.
What he did not do was follow the rules -- "It shall be unethical for any Augusta-Richmond County Employee or public official to transact in any business or participate directly or indirectly in a procurement contract."
"I never did anything to justify me getting that contractor. I never walked on site. I also never talked to the general contractor," Guilfoyle said.
His company made a bid for $70,000 and won. It's raising eyebrows with other commissioners.
"There shouldn't be a single commissioner up here benefiting directly or indirectly dealing with government dollars," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
"It is something that we got to deal with and correct," said Commissioner Corey Johnson.
Sources say other elected leaders who own businesses could also be acting as a subcontractor.
We went by one commissioner's house, but there was no answer.
"The amount of money is not that much we make for a profit," Guilfoyle said.
Regardless of the amount, according to the code of ethics, it's still a conflict of interest.

India: The year that was
Asia Pacific Economic Outlook, February 2014
In 2013, India's economic outlook was negative due to sluggish growth and persistent high inflation. Significant political changes are creating uncertainty about the future.
The year 2013 was marked by experiences that shook India's core economic fundamentals, raising questions about its ability to sustain growth in the long run. The economic outlook turned negative due to sluggish growth and persistent high inflation. For the first time in a decade, India's economic growth fell below 5 percent, growing 4.6 percent year over year in the first half of FY 2013–14 relative to the previous year.1 Inflation continued to remain high, close to or in double digits, due to the meteoric rise of food prices. In addition, India faced a rising fiscal deficit and an excessive imbalance in its current account, making the economy vulnerable to a number of risks. Political challenges in anticipation of the May 2014 general government election and policy inaction are creating further confusion and skepticism.
Global economic uncertainties aggravated India's troubles: India was among the worst hit of those emerging economies whose currency, stock, and bond markets experienced extreme volatility this past summer due to the US Federal Reserve's (Fed's) tapering signal. The Indian rupee depreciated more than 20 percent, while stock markets fell 10 percent during May–September 2013 because of heavy capital outflows. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) monetary tightening policy post the appointment of its new governor, along with the Fed's decision to maintain quantitative easing in September 2013, helped bonds, stocks, and currencies in India restore their summer losses.
Impact on confidence
In the midst of the economic turmoil, consumer confidence and business sentiments were badly hit.2 According to an RBI survey, consumer confidence diminished in September, with around 60 percent of respondents expecting that economic conditions will worsen.3 The consumer confidence declined due to the worsening perception of household circumstances, income, spending, and employment. Meanwhile, the industrial outlook for the overall business situation is at its lowest level since 2005 due to the pessimistic assessment of and expectations for exports, imports, and the overall financial situation. The Business Expectation Index fell below the threshold level of 100 to 97.3 for the first time since 2008, indicating that businesses are highly pessimistic about the economic outlook and investment prospects.4
The outlook turned positive later
By the end of 2013, some good news started coming in. The growth in Q2 of FY 2013–14 improved slightly, to 4.8 percent, relative to the previous quarter's low growth of 4.4 percent. This improvement was due to stronger growth in the agricultural and construction sectors. Growth in the industrial sector, which was sluggish mostly due to poor growth in the manufacturing, mining, and quarrying sectors, improved in October. Strong recovery in the manufacturing and mining sectors boosted the industrial production index.
The trade account deficit reduced due to proactive policy measures by the RBI and the government. Factors such as slowing domestic demand and lower oil prices due to reduced external risks also helped contain import bill growth. At the same time, exports grew faster in the first half of the current fiscal year relative to FY 2012–13 due to the currency depreciation and improved global demand.
The changing political landscape
The year ended with a marked shift in the political arena. The assembly elections in five states of India in December 2013 affirmed the widely felt dissatisfaction with the ruling government, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) coalition, led by the Indian National Congress (the Congress). In four of the five states, the Congress, India's "grand old party," lost the elections. The biggest gainer was the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the largest opposition party, which aims to ride the momentum of the big state wins through the national elections in 2014.
But what took the country by a storm was the stunning entry of the Aam Aadmi Party (the "Common Man Party," or AAP) in the Delhi state assembly elections. Launched by anticorruption campaigners last year, the AAP defied expectations and came very close to winning half the seats in a state so far dominated by the Congress and BJP; it later formed the government with outside support from the Congress. It is true that winning an election and running a state are two different ball games, and the AAP has a long way to go to prove its credibility. But what is significant is that, in its debut election, a party that is a few months old overthrew a state government that has been in power in the capital for nearly 15 years.
The new political revolution and its economic impact
The AAP's win symbolizes public disapproval of current governance, with its poor economic deliverables and corruption scandals. It also indicates the willingness of the people of India to trust an alternative corruption-free political system, as promised by the AAP. The AAP's victory in the Delhi election has planted the seed for a transformation in the country's political scene. There is rising demand for accountability from the government in a manner that was not so pervasive earlier. More people are coming forth to be a part of this movement, including top executives and even nonresident Indians.
With the election results of the five states and the AAP's success, it is clear that the BJP may get most of the votes in the national elections but may not have a majority as regional parties gain significance. These regional parties may play an important role in ensuring that the newly elected government is more accountable and delivers on its promises. More participation of qualified and self-motivated people in governance will likely improve efficiency in addressing public issues and providing basic amenities and infrastructure that have been ignored so far. In addition, with less bureaucracy and corruption, policy making will likely be more pro-growth, which will help improve economic and business sentiments as well as confidence among international investors. We will monitor this growing political movement and its impact on the economy in the months ahead.
