Solving Poverty: It's in the Data
The debate is at the very crux of economic policies on poverty: Should philanthropies, aid organizations, and governments provide funds to push those in extreme poverty out of the poverty trap? Or do more lasting benefits ensue when the poor bear at least part of the economic burden of pulling themselves out of destitution?
Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee and Esther Duflo took on that dispute at an event sponsored by Columbia's Program for Economic Research in mid-September when they explained the premise of their new book, "Poor Economics: A Radical Rethinking of the Way to Fight Global Poverty." "Many aid programs fail not because poverty is a hard problem to solve," said Duflo. "They fail because of ideology, because policies take the approach that there is one way to fight poverty. Policies can be blindsided by looking through one lens and ignoring the underlying issues."
Instead of employing a single approach — simply giving or withholding money — aid organizations should examine each situation separately, according to the authors, who are also MIT economics professors and cofounders of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL). The premise behind J-PAL and the book is similar: by analyzing detailed evidence, collected through randomized control trials in poor villages and on the streets of the poor neighborhoods, economists and policy wonks can place the fight against poverty on a more scientific footing.
Where the Numbers Point
Banerjee and Duflo do not argue for or against aid but, using data collected by J-PAL's 55 affiliate professors in 43 countries, they point to numerous instances where policies worked or failed. "It's not so much where the money comes from," said Banerjee, "but where it goes. This is a matter of choosing the right kind of project to fund."
The authors used anecdotes to illustrate why the poor need to borrow in order to save, why they miss out on free life-saving immunizations but pay for drugs they do not need, and why they start businesses but do not grow them. Take the millions who border on starvation who don't use food subsidies in the way aid organizations would like. "We asked a man in a Moroccan village what he would do if we gave him $100," recalled Banerjee. "He said he would buy food. If we gave him another $100, he said, he would buy more food, or maybe better-tasting food." Then the authors noticed that although his hut had neither sanitation nor running water, a flat-screen TV hung on the wall of his home. When asked why he had made such a purchase when his family was starving, he replied, "Oh, but television is more important than food!"
Rather than becoming outraged at his priorities, the authors argue, policymakers need to understand the Moroccan man's point of view. With no movie theaters or even places to sit to watch strangers stroll by, and not enough work to occupy the hours, boredom is an overwhelming fact of village life. The takeaway: aid organizations can't solve nutrition issues simply by providing people with food.
Money in the Middle
Assumptions made by a one-size-fits-all policy also explains why microcredit lending works only sporadically, said Duflo. The concept accepts that cheap loans will jump-start small businesses that will eventually employ others. "But this assumes that people are fundamentally entrepreneurial," suggested Duflo. "Instead of plowing money back into their businesses, most people will more likely send their own kids to private school" or find other ways to improve their own lives. Without the ability to identify the truly entrepreneurial, she indicated, "either donate enough for someone to buy a sewing machine so they can make dresses in their own home, or spend enough to build a factory for exports. There's no point in providing money in the middle."
Columbia economics professor Jeffrey Sachs, who moderated the evening, took issue with some of the author's claims. Without disagreeing with the data-based science, he said that, thanks to today's technology, some issues have become so nearly solvable that immediate action is called for.
Sachs's cause célèbre — the free distribution of insecticide-treated malarial nets accompanied by on-the-ground education and treatment — happens to be supported by evidence gained through Duflo's and Banerjee's randomized trials. Since 2007, when the United Nations approved the approach of distributing nets, which cost approximately $14 each and last five years, malaria has dropped worldwide by about 35 percent, Sachs said, indicating he expected a 70–80 percent reduction by 2015. Still, he maintained that time-consuming randomized trials just weren't necessary to back up the claims of malariologists who urged the adoption of the nets.
"My claim that we can end extreme poverty — the inability to meet basic needs — by 2025 is based on the premise that many issues are practically solvable" said Sachs.
"We may not be able to solve extreme poverty tomorrow," countered Duflo, "but, if we know where to look, we can make important progress."
Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee was educated at the University of Calcutta, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and Harvard University. He is currently the Ford Foundation International Professor of Economics at MIT. Banerjee is a past president of the Bureau for Research in the Economic Analysis of Development, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Econometric Society, and has been a Guggenheim Fellow and an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow. He is the recipient of many awards, including the inaugural Infosys Prize in 2009, and has been an honorary advisor to many organizations including the World Bank and the Government of India.
Esther Duflo is Abdul Latif Jameel Professor of Poverty Alleviation and Development Economics in the Department of Economics at MIT. She was educated at the Ecole Normale Supérieure, in Paris, and at MIT. She has received numerous honors and prizes including a John Bates Clark Medal for the best American economist under 40 in 2010, a MacArthur "genius" Fellowship in 2009. She was recognized as one of the best eight young economists by The Economist magazine, one of the 100 most influential thinkers by Foreign Policy, and one of the "forty under forty" most influential business leaders under forty by Fortune magazine in 2010.

Meatless Monday No. 2
Happy Meatless Monday one and all Also, Happy Halloween to all of you too Wow. Today is quite the popular day Did anyone go to work or school dressed up today?
Yesterday for BOOM day we were asked to dress up, but with the lack of interest I have in the so-called holiday, I really did not want to dress up. Several of my friends who would be attending BOOM day along with me felt the same way, so they weren't dressing up either. However; sometimes I get creative very last minute and come up with the best costume of all…
A Lululemon employee sounded good to me? haha! What do you think!?
I was deemed as being "clever" by all who attended BOOM day Clever. I like that.
P.s. my hair is looking quite outrageous these days due to the fact that…
a) I need a haircut desperately and
b) this happened:
Yeah, the ceramic plate may have decided let go and scorch my poor forehead
It wasn't as dramatic as it sounds, but I did leave the seen with a small burn mark… *cough* on my hand from picking up the extremely hot ceramic plate because I wasn't thinking… *cough*
Today, I was woken up by the hunger monster, so I made these bad boys
Some pancakes smothered in the best combo of toppings, of course Chocolate protein greek yogurt whip and raspberries! I am sure Kate will agree We both love the chocolate – raspberry combo A definition of deliciousness right there.
Seriously, who needs syrup when you have fresh fruit to make your own!?
Love my fresh-fruit "syrups"!
So today is day number two of my new Meatless Monday tradition And I am super excited to share another meatless dish with all of you
This week, the recipe for Meatless Monday is a tofu wrap made with collard greens
Collard Green Tofu Wrap
1 large collard green leaf
2 oz. tofu (I used my amazing smoked tofu!)
favourite veggies!
This is a really versatile meal and super easy to pack and take along with you for some clean and healthy eats throughout the day
Begin by washing your collard leaf really well. Next, remove as much as the stem as you can. I took my knife and trimmed off the stem from the back of the leaf. Now the fun part! Stuff your wrap with your favourite veggies and tofu Make it even tastier by spreading some hummus, guacamole, peanut sauce, or your favourite dressing on the inside of the leaf!
Personally, I fancied up my wraps with smoked tofu, hummus, cucumber, red bell pepper, tomato, and lots of cucumber! They were incredibly tasty These wraps can also be made with chicken, tuna, shrimp, etc. if you don't want to go meatless
The leaves of the collard green works amazing in replace of a regular flour wrap and holds up really well
You can definitely add some quinoa into the wrap for extra protein and some complex carbohydrates, too!
I love versatile recipes and meal ideas You can have so much fun with them
I hope you enjoyed my new meatless recipe and try it out for yourself I'm off to study now, though! Exam number 4 out of 6 is tomorrow and this girl's gotta get her study on Nerd mode tonight for sure. I have pretty much been in nerd mode all day, though. What's new?
I cannot wait for Saturday night. Midterms will be over!
What is your favourite topping for pancakes? Homemade fruit syrup
Straight, curly, or wavy? How does your mane flow? Mine has a funky kink, but I can deal with it
Favourite filling for wraps? I wish I had some sprouts for these I love the crunch sprouts add to wraps!
Have a good night friends! Chat with you all tomorrow

Cash-Advance Demand Rising
In another sign small businesses are turning to alternative sources of working capital, AdvanceMe Inc., recently hit a $2 billion milestone in merchant cash advances to small and midsized companies, doubling its total funding in less than four years, the Kennesaw, Ga., firm reported Tuesday.
Merchant cash advances, which first appeared about a decade ago, provide capital in exchange for a share of future debit- or credit-card sales. As such, they tend to be used by retailers, restaurants and other small businesses where a large number of customers pay with cards. Providers typically charge between 8% and 10% of gross sales against the advance, though some charge far more.
Business owners use the cash to buy new equipment, restock inventory or pay off debt, according to the North American Merchant Advance Association, a trade group launched in 2008.
Founded in 1998, AdvanceMe hit the $1 billion funding mark in 2007. During that time, more than 50 cash-advance providers entered the market as demand for alternative sources of capital grew, including RapidAdvance, AmeriMerchant and Fast Capital.
In May, a study by MultiFunding LLC, a Pennsylvania start-up that helps small firms obtain financing, found more than half of 250 small businesses it analyzed weren't qualified for traditional bank loans and would need to seek other sources, such as merchant cash advances, factoring and unsecured lines of credit. Many of these businesses would face charges of more than 23% in annual interest and fees, the study found.
The years "2008, 2009 and 2010 were not easy for U.S. merchants," said Glenn Goldman, the chief executive of AdvanceMe's parent company Capital Access Networks Inc., in a statement Tuesday. According to its own data, most business owners appear to turn to cash advances only after being rejected by a bank.
AdvanceMe now expects to reach a $3 billion funding milestone within the next two years.

Wednesday, 11.10.2010 / 1:51 PM ET / News
By Rob Crean - Public Relations Director
Tonight, Ruff will coach his 1,000th career NHL regular season game, which will tie him with his mentor, the late Roger Neilson, for 17th place on the NHL's all-time list. And if it wasn't for Neilson, Ruff never would have been in the position he finds himself in tonight, on the cusp of reaching a major milestone.
It was Neilson who first suggested that Ruff should get into coaching when Ruff played for Neilson and was winding down his NHL playing career with the Rangers in 1990. He went on to play a few more seasons in the minor leagues before unexpectedly being hired as one of Neilson's assistants with the expansion Florida Panthers in 1993-94.
"A rumor going was around at the Draft and somebody called and said 'your name is up for a coaching job in Florida' and I knew nothing of it," Ruff said when describing how he first joined the NHL coaching ranks.
Not only does Ruff credit Neilson for getting him into the coaching profession, but also for helping him become the coach he is today.
"I think the reason I'm here is I was with the right guy (in Neilson)," Ruff said. "His work habits around the game were second to none. Being with him for those couple years gave me just a great background to move forward and just think that I've got to put a lot more work into this game than I thought I'd ever put into it."
While Ruff got his start in Florida, he made his name as a head coach in Buffalo.
Ruff was hired as the 15th head coach of the Sabres on July 21, 1997 by General Manager Darcy Regier, who, fittingly, will be working his 1,000th game as Sabres GM tonight.
In '97 I thought I was going to be gone in December. I was young and I just kept hearing that if we don't win in the playoffs, I'll be gone. I still remember standing on the bench in Philly after we won (a first round playoff series) thinking 'I got a chance now.' That part never leaves you. - Head Coach Lindy Ruff"I don't think it's any secret that I don't stand here if it isn't for Darcy," Ruff said. "I've been lucky is what I've been. To go through ownership changes and to have the support from Darcy I've had is probably the main reason I'm still here. And the new ownership group – Tom (Golisano), Larry (Quinn) and Dan (DiPofi) and the support they've given us has been exceptional."
Together, Ruff and Regier have guided the Sabres to an appearance in the 1999 Stanley Cup Final, four Eastern Conference Finals berths, two Northeast Division titles and a Presidents Trophy in 2006-07. Ruff also added the Jack Adams Award to his résumé following the 2005-06 campaign as well as an Olympic gold medal earlier this year.
Ruff and Regier are currently the longest-tenured GM/coach combination in pro sports. In fact, there have been 155 head coaching changes in the NHL alone since Regier hired Ruff in 1997.
Thirteen years later, Ruff is still surprised he made it out of Year One.
"In '97 I thought I was going to be gone in December. I was young and I just kept hearing that if we don't win in the playoffs, I'll be gone. I still remember standing on the bench in Philly after we won (a first round playoff series) thinking 'I got a chance now.' That part never leaves you."
If Ruff did not expect to make it through his first season behind the Buffalo bench, he certainly would not have foreseen going 487-370-142 entering his 1,000th game. He currently ranks third in most games coached with one franchise and fourth in most wins with one franchise, and is within striking distance of moving up a notch on each of those lists this season. Ruff points to his willingness to adapt as one of the reasons for his longevity.
"You try from year to year to be unpredictable, to bring something new to the players. Maybe that's the one reason I've been able to hang in as long as I can."
After all the years and all the accomplishments in Buffalo, Ruff remains determined to bring Buffalo to the top of the hockey mountain. Despite the slow start by the Sabres this season, Ruff is not wavering from his belief in this team.
"I'm a big believer. You're not going to take the belief away. You keep digging and scratching."

Theatrix, the student-operated theatre organization under the auspices of the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, begins its 2012-2013 season with The Pillowman by Academy Award winning and Tony nominated playwright Martin McDonagh.
The show is under the direction of Dennis Henry as part of his curriculum requirements as an MFA director. The Pillowman will run September 26-28 at 7:30pm in the Lab Theatre, located on the 3rd floor of the Temple Building, 12th and R streets in Lincoln, Nebraska.
When a series of gruesome child murders show shocking similarity to some short stories, their author, Katurian, becomes the prime suspect. Katurian's brutal interrogation by police exposes his secret past and unveils the bizarre world of the Pillowman. In this black comedy where fantasy and reality blur and where torture and compassion intertwine, Katurian might be a monster, a victim, or a hero - if, that is, there is any difference between those things.
The scenic design for The Pillowman is orchestrated by technical theater graduate student Christine Donaughy. Coupled with the lighting design of graduate lighting student Clay VanWinkle, the show's mood is enhanced with an eerie sound design by technical theatre major Richard McDermott. Technical theater major Amy Avila has designed the costumes for the show and properties have been headed by technical theatre major Lauren Blunk. The technical director, second year graduate student in technical theater Matt Rightmire, and the performance and directing and management double major, Maggie Austin as the stage manager, supervise the entire operation. This technical team transports you from your chair into the dark caverns of an author's imagination.
The content of this show is mature and is not suitable for all audiences. Haze, gun fire, and profanity will be used during performance.
Individual show tickets are $6 via credit card (some user fees may be applied) at unltheatretickets.com or at the door the evening of the events (subject to availability). Tickets may be bought at the door at each performance beginning at 6:30pm.

This field experiment used a telepresence-controlled, remotely operated underwater vehicle to study sea floor ecology in Antarctica. Operated locally from within a portable habitat and remotely through a bidirectional satellite data and video link, the TROV obtained video images of biological communities and collected specimens for analysis. In using environmental data to create the virtual reality model in near real time, this experiment represents the first combined use of telepresence and virtual reality for scientific purposes.

Slick talker
Get control of the financial system then you control everything, is Obama's credo. His socialist buddies, mentors and spiritual leaders are delirious with an ecstasy bordering on euphoria not seen since Lenin took violent control of the Russian government back in the early 1900s.
First, healthcare. Huge financial programs involved in that system are crucial to his gaining control. Next comes the energy resources of this country; the EPA is his weapon of choice. "Man-made" global warming is his excuse to wrest control of all energy resources in this country.
The climate has been used by high priests and absolute monarchs from time immemorial to demonstrate a divine dissatisfaction with sinners and take power over all, promising their way is the only way to salvation. Here comes Obama promising the exact same thing and allowing no debate or contrasting viewpoints whatsoever.
How many times does it take for demagogues to drive their countries into chaos and ruin (Soviet Union, North Korea, Hitler's Germany, ad infinitum) before this country wakes up and takes notice that is exactly where this country is heading at flank speed? Witness the erosion of our Constitution by this ideologue and his cronies in the Senate and House (Pelosi and Reid), not to mention the most corrupt of all, Eric Holder, the attorney general who refuses to enforce any laws in the Constitution Obama deems harmful to his "cause." This country's reputation and stalwart defense of freedom has been replaced with hot air, biliousness and disdain for anything not directly connected to his quest for power.
The rest of the world is astounded someone like Obama, with only a hare-brained socialist dogma as a reference could have been elected to the highest office in the United States. But a glance in the rear-view mirror illustrates the power of a speech; Stalin, Castro, Hitler, Chavez, etc. all promising nirvana if only they had absolute control. Well, here we are once more listening to a slick-talking doomsayer screeching he needs that absolute control through the EPA, BLM, IRS, etc. to send us all to his heavenly paradise. I ain't buying a ticket on that bus.

Stand your ground
The media is reporting that the NAACP and others in the black community are opposed to the so-called Stand Your Ground law. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton came to Florida to oppose it. Patricia Rosier, president of the National Bar Association, said, "We view these laws as a license to kill." The point about such laws being a "license to kill" is echoed by other officers in the National Bar Association, such as Khyla D. Craine.
Opposition is not limited to the black community. There are many reasons for other people to oppose it. In the six years before "stand your ground" passed in 2005, Florida averaged 34 justifiable homicides per year. There were 206 justifiable homicides in the six-year period.
For the first four years after it passed, Florida averaged 83 justifiable homicides per year. There were 333 such homicides in four years, a shorter period of time. The number of justifiable homicides more than doubled.
This probably means that more homicides are being ruled justifiable homicides and dismissed without much investigation.
Does "stand your ground" strike terror into the hearts of criminals? Take a look at the number of police killed in the line of duty in Florida. In the six years before this law passed, 1999 to 2004, Florida had eight police officers killed in the line of duty. In the six years following passage, 2006 to 2011, there were 25 officers killed. That is more than three times as many police deaths in the aftermath of a law that is supposed to make us safer.
It is painfully obvious that "stand your ground" is a bad law. Many shootings happen within a household during arguments. What happens when husband and wife are both boiling mad and both have a handgun? Both have an equal right to stand their ground. It's a recipe for disaster. The same applies if two brothers are arguing, or two roommates.
In the end, "stand your ground" just encourages police and prosecutors to jump to the conclusion that whoever winds up dead must have been wrong.

Last year, Wild.com wanted help from our fans in the State of Hockey and beyond to help us select the Top Play of the Year. To do so, we needed you to pick the Top Play each week, so we could pit them against each other in the offseason in a single-elimination tournament. Last year's winner was Jason Zucker's first-career goals against Detroit. We had so much fun, we're going to do it again this year.
This season, we're getting help selecting the top play each week from our friends at Dairy Queen. Last week's winner was Jason Pominville, who tipped home a nice set up by Ryan Suter against the New York Rangers.
This week, we have a couple of snipes and a pretty passing play to choose from. Up first, Stephane Veilleux takes a pass in the slot and fires a laser past the Winnipeg Jets. Up next, the Wild makes three one-touch passes before Mikko Koivu taps home a power play goal against Winnipeg. Finally, Nino Niederreiter buries a wrister against his former team, the New York Islanders.

Tweed Cycling – All Rather Spiffing!
Oil spillage, the ubiquitous spectre of global economic chaos, a collapsed Chilean mine shaft and that sheaf of mildly embarrassing diplomatic documents have all vied with each other this year for column inch supremacy throughout the world's news media.
But as the curtain falls on another twelvemonth, we can say with a measure of confidence that 2010 will be best remembered in terms of big news stories by generations to come as the year in which the hateful epithet "Bike Dandy" was finally reclaimed by its adherents for the badge of honour it undoubtedly is.
2010 was also the year in which its closest equivalent female term, "Bike Quaintrelle" once again began to find currency. After all, it's unfair to let boys have all the fun.
So what are Dandy-ism and Quaintrelliousness all about?
Riding at a leisurely pace so as not to break sweat, for sure. Wearing clothes that wouldn't look out of place in an episode of Brideshead Revisited. Preferring the hipflask over the bidon, and the cucumber sandwich over the energy bar. In short, making a public display of affection for the bygone days of pipe-wielding, cap-doffing, door-opening gentlemanliness, and powder-fragrant, bodice-packing, fan-fluttering womanhood.
And while it's nice to stand out from the crowd, tricked out in corduroy knickerbockers, tweed spats, linen shirt, leather gloves, silk cravat, woollen waistcoat and Goretex windbreaker (only joking) as you serenely tool your High Nelly about town, devotees of this philosophy nowadays find it increasingly the case that there's safety in numbers.
Hence the proliferation of themed group ride events the world over, and any number of online social networks professing admiration for how people lived and dressed around and about the 1920′s.
If you live anywhere in North America, for example, at some point this year you'd probably have been able to make it to a "Tweed Ride", or similar, under your own steam in under three quarters of an hour. Winnipeg, Nashville, Boston, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Kansas, and Philadelphia are just a few of the cities that found themselves good-naturedly gridlocked by hordes of extremely well-dressed throwbacks in 2010.
In fact, if you google "Tweed Ride" together with any city's name, it seems the chances are that somebody is organizing one there. Or has already finished doing so.
Frequently, prizes are awarded at the finish to the riders who, by their combination of bicycle and riding apparel, best exemplify the spirit in which the event is intended.
No prizes, however, for guessing the make of saddle bolted to just about every seat post.
Looking forward to next year, 2011 will see the original Olde-World-Clothing-And-Bicycle-Themed-Day-Out, London's "Tweed Run" spread its wings to Tokyo and New York. Of course, in cycling circles it seems the done thing on the part of those who were "in on the ground floor" of any niche activity (see- Fixed Wheel Riding) to virulently deplore any mainstream surge in its popularity.
But in this special (cigarette?) case, my prediction is that the small band of gentlemen known worldwide by turns as "Tweed-Core" or "Dandy 2.0″ will in all likelihood keep their beautifully manicured hands in their immaculately tailored pockets. One hopes so, at least.

Niedermayer keeps 'C', Koivu named an alternate
If there was any doubt over who would be the Ducks' captain (which there was none), any possible shred of that was removed Friday when Scott Niedermayer (pictured) was selected for the fourth time in five seasons.
Ryan Getzlaf, whom many believe will be the next captain once Niedermayer steps aside for good, was named an alternate captain along with Saku Koivu, who signed with Anaheim after nine-plus seasons as the captain of the Montreal Canadiens. Figure that Koivu's selection is a sign of respect shown by Ducks coach Randy Carlyle.
Corey Perry will also serve as an additional alternate captain when needed.
"This was a difficult decision as we feel there are many leaders in our locker room," Carlyle said in a statement. "We expect leadership to come from many players beyond just these four."

San Diego State (17-5, 5-3 Mountain West) needed Tapley's big shot after being outplayed down the stretch by the Broncos.
Mikey Thompson's 3-pointer with 3:16 left gave Boise State a 61-58 lead. Neither team scored until the Aztecs' Jamaal Franklin made a lay-up with 13.5 seconds left. Boise State's Derrick Marks made the first of two free throws but missed the second and Tapley rebounded to set up the winning shot.
Thompson got a chance at the buzzer to give his team a win but just missed. He and Marks finished with 16 points apiece for Boise State (15-7, 3-5).
James Rahon scored 16 points for San Diego State while Franklin had 14. Tapley finished his night with 12 and J.J. O'Brien had 10.
The Aztecs dropped out of the AP Top 25 for the second time this season Monday after losing 70-67 at Air Force on Saturday.
San Diego State had a 17-point lead in the first half and was up 10 at halftime before Marks scored seven straight points early in the second half to key Boise State's comeback.
The Broncos took their first lead of the game, 56-54, on Marks' 3-pointer with 5:41 left.
DeShawn Stephens tied it with an inside shot before Ryan Watkins hit a bank shot to give the lead back to the Broncos. Franklin made a reverse lay-up before Thompson quieted Viejas Arena with a 3-pointer for a 61-58 Boise State lead.
The Broncos played San Diego State close in two of their three games last year. At San Diego, the Aztecs rallied from 12 points down and then watched as a 3-pointer by wide-open Thomas Bropleh rimmed out at the buzzer of the Aztecs' 58-56 win.
In the Mountain West Conference tournament opener, Jamaal Franklin made an off-balance 3-pointer over a double-team at the buzzer to give top-seeded Aztecs a 65-62 victory.
With the Aztecs leading 47-41, Marks was whistled for a flagrant foul for dragging down Franklin from behind on a lay-up attempt. Franklin missed both free throws and Thompson hit a 3-pointer as Boise State closed to 47-44.
San Diego State took a 34-17 lead after DeShawn Stephens converted a three-point play with 5:57 to go before halftime. O'Brien's strong inside play and two 3-pointers by Rahon helped the Aztecs take control.
Boise State then outscored the Aztecs 11-4 the rest of the half to close to 38-28 at halftime. Thompson scored five points, including a 3-pointer, and Kenny Buckner made two buckets for the Broncos.
The Aztecs were once again without point guard Xavier Thames, who's been slowed by a back injury.

Why I'm saying goodbye to football
by Roxanne Jones (CNN) — I fell in love on a Monday night. Now, many may say a teenage girl can't know about such things. But that night as I watched Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett roll downfield 99 yards for a touchdown, I fell head-over-heals in love with the NFL. It was January 3, 1983 — Monday Night Football, Dallas vs. Minnesota. I'd never seen anything so inspiring. Dorsett was so free, so graceful and so powerful to me. He was focused and determined. Watching him break free of his competitors, those who wanted to bring him down and stop him from reaching his goal, I was in awe. And I knew then that his run capsulized all that I wanted to accomplish in my life.

Kim Jong Un Set for Hollywood Debut in 'The Interview'
Kim Jong Un is about to get his "Team America" moment.
A decade ago, the creators of the "South Park" animated cartoon series brought Kim Jong Il into the broader American pop cultural consciousness with a cast of foul-mouthed marionettes in "Team America: World Police."
That satire, virtually designed to stir up controversy, depicted an American antiterrorism squad sent to North Korea to stop Kim Jong Il from destroying the world. It became something of a cult classic in the West, helping to shape a caricature of Kim as a comically ruthless (and "ronery") dictator.
In "The Interview," filmed in Vancouver and slated for release in October, actors Seth Rogen and James Franco play a talk-show team who are granted an interview with Kim Jong Un, and then recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency to assassinate the dictator. Humor, it is promised, ensues.
On Thursday morning Korea time, Mr. Rogen uploaded the poster for the movie to his Twitter account. The poster, which nods at North Korea's socialist realist art, features plenty of Korean sloganeering. (The missiles proclaim that war will soon begin, while the strip of Korean below the two actors' names reads: "Don't trust these ignorant American buffoons!")
Here's the poster for my next movie #TheInterview. pic.twitter.com/TJZ4jGMqdc
— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) June 11, 2014
Minutes later, Sony Pictures Entertainment, which produced the movie, uploaded the trailer onto YouTube.
Expect some liberties to be taken.
The trailer kicks off with rosy-cheeked child musicians performing before a portrait of the three Kims, and then quickly runs through most of the imagery you'd expect: plenty of tanks, machine guns, rocket launches and assembled masses gathered before propaganda portraits of the Dear Leader.
As for Kim himself, he is portrayed as a cigar-chomping spoiled dictator who may or may not be able to communicate with dolphins.
In February 2005, the Associated Press reported that North Korea was apparently so disquieted by "Team America" that it tried to have the Czech Republic ban the film.
If so, Kim Jong Un's press handlers may want to get the word out early.

PARKERSBURG - The red kettles of the Salvation Army of Parkersburg Corps are still out collecting funds for Christmas.
"All of our kettles will be out until 5 or 6 p.m. this evening," said Lt. Mechelle Henry, pastor and commanding officer for the Corps.
Henry said they hope to raise several thousand more dollars before the kettles close up for the season.
Article Photos
Photo by Jeff Baughan
Joseph Gallegos of Parkersburg rings a bell for the Salvation Army outside of the Grand Central Mall Monday. Gallegos, who said he has been a bell ringer off and on for the last eight years, said he rang the bell because 'it's a blessing helping people and I like meeting new people while I do this.' The annual kettle collections conclude today at 3 p.m.
"We are several thousands behind our goal for the year, but we are confident we can raise more," she said. "Even if the goal is not met, we are very appreciative of the support the community gives us throughout the year."
By Monday afternoon the program had raised more than $166,000 of the $175,000 goal.
There are two dozen kettle sites around the Mid-Ohio Valley with kettles, which have been out since Veterans Day, collecting loose change and other cash donations from shoppers. The sites include the Grand Central Mall, Foodland, Kmart, Wal-Mart and Sams Club.
The money collected during the drive will fund Christmas for families that include about 3,000 children throughout the Salvation Army's coverage region. The Corps aids families and individuals in Wood, Calhoun, Jackson, Ritchie, Wirt and Pleasants counties.
The red kettle money goes to purchasing a meal basket for each family as well as holiday gifts for children under the age of 12 whose cards were not taken from the Angel Trees by good samaritans.
The Angel Tree toy distribution was held Friday morning with the majority of the children on the trees having been adopted by community members. Those who were not adopted were provided for by the Salvation Army office.
Last year the Salvation Army Parkersburg Corps aided more than 1,000 families and more than 4,000 children with a boxed Christmas meal of ham and all of the sides along with toys and clothes for the kids.
Along with the Christmas programs, the remainder of funds collected through the red kettles will go toward the Salvation Army's other social service efforts, Henry said.
"We are the social organization that people turn to when they are having trouble paying utility bills, medical bills and even funeral services," she said. "We do what we can to help people from the cradle to the grave."

Chutzpah. This is a word that is used often by myself because sometimes I just can't believe what people do. I mean really! I thought it would be fun to share our Chutzpah moments. The only rules are no names of stores, people, or events. You may also not use inappropriate language. Leave a comment listing your favorite Chutzpah moment! I mean laughter is the best medicine.
Or khutspe. Nerve, extreme arrogance, brazen presumption. In English, chutzpah often connotes courage or confidence, but among Yiddish speakers, it is not a compliment. For more Yiddish WordsChut
Taking charge of your health takes a lot of chutzpah. I had to really make my needs known and ask for my wishes to be met. I realize the hospital is not a 5 star hotel. However, I would like enough food to eat and some sleep. When I first got here I wasn't getting either. I really didn't understand that I had some control over the treatment I was receiving. There are methods to the madness. Could I alter some of the methods to create less madness? The answer is YES! I just had to ask. I think we are taught that the health care professionals always knows whats best, but that isn't the case. The person with the most information on your health is usually you. It is important that you tell your health care professional everything so they can evaluate your case and help you get better. I feel that my simple inquiries lead me to a happier stay. I say ask nicely but ask often and until you feel you are comfortable with the care your receiving. I encourage you to be your own advocate because mental health is just as important as your physical health.
I would like to thank my nurses and doctors at the University of Virginia for making sure my needs have been met. I am hoping for a healthy baby born during a very short and painless labor 🙂 Hint, Hint, Hint!!! I will let you all know what I have as soon as we find out on or before May 20th.

Dynegy Prepping Bankruptcy for Holding Company
Dynegy Inc.'s holding company is preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in an unusual move that could cause losses for bondholders without harming parent-company shareholders that include Carl Icahn and hedgefund Seneca Capital.
The power generator could put the holding company, Dynegy Holdings, in bankruptcy court as soon as Monday evening, said people familiar with the matter. Dynegy's parent company wouldn't be part of the filing, the people said.
The situation remained fluid and a filing might not happen, one of the people said. But a bankruptcy filing for Dynegy's holding company is under serious consideration, the person said.
Dynegy remains in discussions with bondholders over a possible pre-negotiated reorganization plan ahead of any bankruptcy filing, said people familiar withthe talks. It remained unclear whether the two sides would reach a deal before any filing. The bondholders include Franklin Templeton Investments, Avenue Capital Group, Oaktree Capital Management and Caspian Capital Partners.

Juanele, on 12 April 2014 - 03:32 PM, said:
supposedly they are fixing the gender lock or making it a non issue. But I read that from a user at Massively so I can't verify the truth of that.
All I know is that they are apparently adding two versions of each class, at least for most of them, a male version and a female version. I don't like this at all really. As with my previous example - I have seen the gameplay of the "female" tamer and I really like it, so if the male tamer is going to be a different version and a less enjoyable version, it is practically gender lock. This does not solve the problem for me.

Skill Level Intermediate
Let's take a look at the looping features in the Vector envelope of ES2. So I'm going to load in a sound here. So up at the top, I am going to go to Load Setting. Then on the Desktop, in the Exercise Files folder, under ES2, we have got this Preset folder, and here I'm going to select this 07_10_vector preset. So this sound, I've got all three oscillators active, and if I just play with the mixed triangle so you can hear-- (music playing) --each oscillator is tuned a bit differently, and that way we can really hear the contrast between them.
So the Vector envelope, I am going to go ahead and click to that, and the first thing I want to do is actually turn on the Vector mode, so I'm going to set it to Mix+XY, because I want to be able to control this mix triangle, as well as XY pad with the Vector envelope. So first thing I am going to do is add some more points to the envelope. So I can Shift+Click and add in points or if I Ctrl+Click, what I can do is select this Initialized 8/8 Loop. So what that's going to do is create eight different nodes and then automatically puts it in the loop mode of Forward, whereas before it was just set to Off.
So what I'm going to do is setup a sound for each of these eight nodes. So I'm going to Solo point. Then I'm going to adjust the settings for the mix triangle on the XY pad. First I'm actually going to want to set my targets for the XY pad. So for X, I'm going to set that to Oscillator1Wave, what that's going to control is the amount of is the amount of FM modulation between Oscillator 2 and Oscillator 1. For the Y target, I'm going to set the filter Cutoff 1. So filter 1 set to a bandpass, it's going to adjust the filter cutoff for that. So then I'll give both these some intensity as well. So I'll set this to around 0.5 or so, and same with the Cutoff; I'll set it to a little over 0.5. And so what this is going to sound like is if I'm playing a note and I move this horizontally, so across the x axis, you will hear the FM amount changes between Oscillators 1 and 2, and if I move vertically, you can hear the bandpass filter of the cutoff being adjusted.
(music playing) And then if I move this is in diagonally, we're getting an interaction between both of those, so it's pretty cool! Let's set 0.1. First we'll adjust the Mix triangle, (music playing) and then the X Y. (music playing) Okay, and then I'll do the second node, so we'll adjust the Mix triangle first. And I'm going to try to find some of these sounds different, so I can really hear the contrast between each point. (music playing) So I'll go all the way to Oscillator 3 and we'll adjust the XY, get something kind of bright happening here.
(music playing) And then for the third point, set the balance of the mix triangle to Oscillator 2. (music playing) Something kind of resonate- sounding, and then do the fourth point. (music playing) And then the fifth point here. (music playing) And then we'll just do one more point, a sixth point. (music playing) So if I want my loop to end here, what I'm going to is move the sustain flag for the sixth point, so now what's going to happen is our loop is going to be between this first L flag and the S flag.
I'll turn off Solo point, and then we can hear our loop play through the first six nodes. (music playing) So right now, I can hear it stepping through each one, and we have a couple different parameters that we can adjust to adjust how the loop is going to play back. The first thing we've got is this envelope mode and I'm going to come back to that. There are two different modes, but these have to do with the release stage of the envelope. The curve is how it's going to get from one node to the next.
Right now it's on hold and step, and you can hear that it just kind of jumps between settings. (music playing) So I can adjust this here and I've got all these different modes. There is concave. There's a linear one here, so it's going to be a linear transition. (music playing) It's much smoother, right, and then there are some convex ones. (music playing) And then like I said before, a concave. So it's definitely worth exploring all of those. There is a whole bunch.
Right now, I'm going to set this just to linear, and I have got a couple different loop modes as well. So right now, we're in Forward loop mode. I can also have this loop backwards so that the loop is going to start at the 6th point and go back to the first and so on. (music playing) Or I can have it loop forward and then backwards; that's the alternate. (music playing) So all those different loop modes. And then you can also adjust the number of times it is going to play through the loops. So right now, it's infinite, so as long as hold the knob, it's going to loop through that section of the Vector envelope.
If I only want it to loop through it two times, I can set this Loop Count to 2. So it will play through it two times, and then it will sustain where I have my sustain flag, at the sixth node. (music playing) Right, so now it's sustaining. I also have a Loop Smooth here, and what that's going to do is adjust the transition between the end of the loop-- so this 6 point--and the beginning. I'm going to set our Loop Count back to infinite, and then I'm going to turn off Loop Smooth and you can hear that the transition between the end and the beginning of the loop is a little bit more abrupt.
(music playing) Now you can really hear that loop is more obvious. If I turn up loop smoothing, it just makes that a bit of a smoother transition. (music playing) Okay, next to that, we can adjust the Loop Rate, so this is how fast it's going to read through the loop. Right now it's set to 1 measure, but I can adjust that here and make that faster, so I can have this all happen over the course of a quarter note. (music playing) Or even faster.
16th. Or if you want a long evolving transition, you can set this all the way to 32 measures. If I move this to the right here, it's not going to be synchronized to the beat anymore; it's in cycles per second. So I could set that to two cycles per second. (music playing) And that's how fast this is going to loop through. So you can set this back to 1 bar here. Then let's take a look at that Envelope mode. In order to really hear what's happening with this, I have to adjust the release time of the amp envelope, so I'm going to give this a bit of release.
So now when I play and I let go, you can hear the sound releases. In normal mode, what's happening is when I'm sustaining, it's going through the Vector envelope through the loop. As soon as I let go, basically what happens is it's going to release from the sixth node onward, and then it's just going to fade out. So I'll demonstrate that. So it's playing through the loop, and then I let go. You can hear I just releases from the 6the point onward.
If I adjust this to Finish mode, when I let go of the note, so I'm playing it now and sustaining, when I release it, it continues to cycle through the loop portion as it fades out, so that's the difference between those two. We explored how to create and edit a loop with a Vector envelope, and that really opens up a lot of possibilities in terms of adding movement and complexity to the sound. In the next video let's explore the global and voicing settings in the ES2.

Balmis Expedition
The Balmis Expedition (1803–1806) was a three-year mission to the Americas led by Dr. Francisco Javier de Balmis with the aim of vaccinating millions against smallpox. Vaccination, a much safer way to prevent smallpox than older methods such as inoculation, had been introduced by the English physician Edward Jenner in 1798.
The Balmis expedition set off from A Coruña on 30 November 1803. It may be considered the first international health-care expedition in history.[1][2] The discoverer of the vaccine, Edward Jenner himself, wrote, "I don't imagine the annals of history furnish an example of philanthropy so noble, so extensive as this."
King Charles IV of Spain supported his royal doctor Balmis, since his daughter María Luísa had suffered the illness. The expedition sailed on Maria Pita and carried 22 orphan boys (eight to ten years old) as successive carriers of the disease, Balmis, a deputy surgeon, two assistants, two first-aid practitioners, three nurses, and Isabel López de Gandalia, the rectoress of Casa de Expósitos, a A Coruña orphanage.[3]
The mission took the vaccine to the Canary Islands, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, the Philippines and China.[4] The ship carried also scientific instruments and translations of the Historical and Practical Treatise on the Vaccine by Moreau de Sarthe to be distributed to the local vaccine commissions to be founded.
In Puerto Rico, the local population was already inoculated from the Danish colony of Saint Thomas. In Venezuela, the expedition divided at La Guayra. José Salvany, the deputy surgeon, went toward today's Colombia and the Viceroyalty of Peru (Venezuela, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Bolivia). They took seven years and the toils of the voyage brought death to Salvany (Cochabamba, 1810). Balmis went to Caracas and later to Havana. The local poet Andrés Bello wrote an ode to Balmis. In Mexico, Balmis took 25 orphans to maintain the infection during the crossing of the Pacific. In the Philippines, they received help from the Catholic church. Balmis sent most of the expedition back to Mexico while he went on to China, where he visited Macau and Canton. On his way back to Spain, Balmis convinced the authorities of Saint Helena (1806) to be inoculated.
Julia Alvarez wrote a fictional account of the expedition from the perspective of its only female member in Saving the World.

SUMMIT COUNTY - Backcountry skiers will have a chance to learn about A-Basin's proposal for lift-served skiing in Montezuma Bowl this Friday, when ski area officials and U.S. Forest Service rangers will host a site visit to discuss the plans and related backcountry access issues."There are two reasons for this meeting," said Arapahoe Basin general manager Alan Henceroth. "The first is to educated backcountry stakeholders about our Montezuma Bowl proposal. And the biggest part is to listen to what they have to say about backcountry access and where they would like to see backcountry access," Henceroth said.A site visit to the existing access points is planned for noon, with participants meeting on the second floor, north end of the A-Frame base lodge. The second part of the meeting, to look at maps and answer any remaining questions, is set for 3 p.m. in the same location."We want to talk about all the access points and see what folks are thinking," said U.S. Forest Service snow ranger Shelly Grail. "What do people want to see in the future?"
Grail said that, in the early stages of evaluating A-Basin's Montezuma Bowl plan, the Forest Service received several scoping comments from backcountry skiers expressing concern about a potential loss of access."We want to make it clear that it's not going to affect access," Grail said.A-Basin and the Forest Service are examining the possibility of adding a chairlift in the bowl that would expand the area's skiable acreage significantly, adding about 325 acres of intermediate and expert terrain. Montezuma Bowl is currently allocated for lift-served skiing under the White River National Forest plan, and also overlaps with a designated roadless area. The concern among some local backcountry skiers is that lift-served operations in Montezuma Bowl would limit access to other popular backcountry runs nearby, said Frisco resident Tom Castrigno, who submitted a comment letter on behalf of local backcountry skiers."A big concern is the limit that will be placed on this access point during adverse weather conditions and control work. Much of the terrain is low angle and skiable during poor weather or unstable snow conditions. Should access become unavailable at any time due to ski area operations, that would represent a big loss of forest services," Castrigno wrote.
Castrigno said he based his comments on observations from other local ski areas, where avalanche control work on in-bounds terrain is "often delayed due to weather, lack of staffing, budget, or other reasons."He said the Forest Service should require control work to be completed by 9 a.m. so that the access point can be open consistently, or to relocate the access points so that they would continue to provide unlimited access to the areas east and west of Montezuma Bowl.Access Issues Public Meeting What: Public meeting on A-Basin access issue on Friday
When: Noon site visit to existing access points; 3 p.m. informational meeting with maps, Q-n-A. Where: Both meetings on second floor, north end of A-Frame base lodge at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area. Info: Call Shelly Grail, at (970) 262-3484.Bob Berwyn can be reached at (970) 331-5996, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Good day to all,
I am relatively new at running however have found it very addicting. I'm a Southern California girl from birth and love truly love living in the San Gabriel mountains. I started out hiking through the hills to relieve stress, then started running to relieve more. I ran my first 5K event a few months ago and very much enjoyed the event, running with my fitness club.
Sadly I have developed a shin splint in my STUPID right calf and have been trying to take it easy so that it may heal, only to pull the muscle repeatedly due to my active lifestyle. Take it easy, do your flexes..... yes I have been doing both! I have been on the elliptical and swimming in effort to do low impact and pulled my muscle pushing off the pool ladder last week, ugh!!!!
Can't wait to get started again! I am hoping through this blog to make friends who exude a positive attitude, enjoy an active lifestyle and authentic friends. Looking forward to meeting you all!
Congrats on your first 5k and hopefully you will be entering more events in the near future. Participating in races is usually a wonderful method to celebrate training, connect with other runners and keep the motivation going for the next level or challenge.
Sounds like you are going great with your cross-training and staying cautious with recovery. I know injuries can be frustrating, but it is always good to look at other alternatives and stay active. Building overall endurance is different for everyone, but I started weight-training a few years ago and tend to believe that it has assisted.
Of course, the only thing I can totally recommend is choose your footwear, socks, compression gear, vitamins/nutrition/supplements and so on carefully. Get several pairs of running shoes and rotate them out frequently for workouts so you are not placing stress/strain on the same areas over and over again. This will make a big difference in avoiding recurrent injuries/problems with the same thing, for example.
Probably obvious suggestions, but there are a lot of products marketed to runners and you may to just experiment with some of them to find out which ones work best for you personally or benefit your performance.
There are many generous members here willing to offer their kind advice and share helpful experiences, so you will find plenty of support and guidance.
Best wishes and many happy miles!
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.

Checking Important Company Fundamentals before Investing in a Stock
Part of the Stock Investing For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Before you buy stocks, you have to do a little research on the companies you're thinking of investing in. Pay attention to the following key components when you look at a company's main financial statements (the income statement and the balance sheet):
Earnings: This number should be at least 10 percent higher than the year before.
Sales: This number should be higher than the year before.
Debt: This number should be lower than or about the same as the year before. It should also be lower than the company's assets.
Equity: This number should be higher than the year before.

It would be difficult to determine whether the age is growing better or worse; for I think our plays are growing like sermons, and our sermons like plays.
Aikin Barbauld (1743 - 1825)
Contributed by: Zaady
What is meant by calling the writings of Moses and the Prophets [the] "Old Testament?" Do they not set forth the covenant of grace? The doctrine of justification by faith - does not Paul in his Epistle to the Romans prove it from Genesis and from the Psalms? Where is the doctrine of substitution and the vicarious sufferings of the Messiah set forth more clearly than in Leviticus and in the 53rd of Isaiah? The term "Old Testament" leads people to fancy it is an antiquated book; whereas, in many respects, it is newer than the New Testament, referring more fully to the age of glory and blessedness on the earth which is still before us.

Peace is the one condition of survival in this nuclear age.
Adlai Stevenson (1900 - 1965)
What a man knows at 50 that he did not know at 20 is, for the most part, incommunicable. The knowledge he has acquired with age is not the knowledge of formulas, or forms of words, but of people, places, actions - a knowledge gained not by words but by touch, sight, sound, victories, failures, sleeplessness, devotion, love - the human experiences and emotions of this earth and of oneself and other men; and perhaps, too, a little faith, a little reverence for things one cannot see.
Beyond Electrons The new believers of our age are they, The men of science, who have come to learn There is a will that points the cosmic ray, A power that directs what they discern In atmosphere, in star and wave and sod; Beyond electrons they discover-God. From microscope and tube evolves a faith Of modern days, sustaining ancient creeds; It is the scientist who makes a wraith Of doubt, and find a God behind His deeds.
Adelaide Love
Some reckon their age by years, Some measure their life by art; But some tell their days by the flow of their tears And their lives by the moans of their hearts.

Isolation Quotes in Twilight
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter. Paragraph)
Quote #13
[Bella to Charlie:] "Dad, you're doing a great job." I smiled, hoping my relief didn't show. "I've never minded being alone – I'm too much like you." (12.63)
Rather than feeling isolated and lonely, Bella seems to enjoy alone time, a personality trait that she has inherited from her father.
Quote #14
[Edward to Bella:] "Well…." He contemplated for a moment. "It was just how close you were. Most human instinctively shy away from us, are repelled by our alienness…I wasn't expecting you to come so close… And the smell of your throat." He stopped short, looking to see if he'd upset me. (13.140)
Despite vampires being attractive in many ways, most humans separate themselves from the vampires out of instinctual fear. Yet, Bella is naturally drawn to Edward. What does that say about her?
Quote #15
[Edward to Bella:] His soft voice interrupted my thoughts. "[Carlisle] acted from loneliness. That's usually the reason behind the choice. I was the first in Carlisle's family, thought he found Esme soon after. She fell from a cliff. They brought her straight to the hospital morgue, though, somewhere her heart was still beating." (14.20)
Edward is speaking of Carlisle and why he changed/saved the other vampires in his family. It seems like Carlisle changed Edward out of a desire for a companion, rather than out of compassion for Edward.

Witnessed friend suffer 'grave injury' on day before the shooting.
The U.S. soldier held in connection to a heinous shooting rampage that claimed the lives of 16 Afghans over the weekend - including nine children - may have been drunk as he fired.
The soldier, who has not yet been identified, is also believed to have been plagued by various stresses stemming from his deployment, his marriage, and the fact that he had seen a friend's leg blown off the day before the massacre.
A high-ranking U.S. official told The New York Times Thursday: 'When it all comes out, it will be a combination of stress, alcohol and domestic issues - he just snapped'.
He is being represented by John Henry Browne, a lawyer whose resume includes defending notorious serial killer Ted Bundy and Colton Harris-Moore, the 'Barefoot Bandit'.
Mr Browne said Thursday: 'We have been informed that at this small base that he was at, somebody was gravely injured the day before the alleged incident - gravely injured, and that affected all of the soldiers'.
Nine of the 16 killed by the lone U.S. Army staff sergeant were children, and three were women.
Villagers have described him stalking from house to house in the middle of the night, opening fire on sleeping families and then burning some of the dead bodies.
Browne would not release his client's name, citing concerns for the soldier's family, which is under protection on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, near Tacoma.
But he did say that the soldier had previously been injured twice, and he and his family thought he was done fighting.
Mr Browne added: 'He wasn't thrilled about going on another deployment. He was told he wasn't going back, and then he was told he was going.'
He told reporters that he's met with the wife and other family members of the 38-year-old staff sergeant.
They were totally shocked,' he said. 'He's never said anything antagonistic about Muslims. He's in general very mild-mannered.'
Mr Browne said he knew little of the facts of the shooting, but disputed reports that a combination of alcohol, stress and domestic issues caused him to snap.
He said the family said they were unaware of any drinking problem, and described the couple's marriage as 'fabulous'.
The soldier is suspected of going on a shooting rampage in villages near his base in southern Afghanistan early Sunday, killing nine children and seven other civilians and then burning some of their bodies.
Some villagers told officials they heard shooting from different directions, but many others said they only saw a single soldier. NATO insists the soldier acted alone.
Fort Lewis-McChord is about 45 miles south of Seattle and home to about 100,000 military and civilian personnel.
A former soldier out of Fort Lewis shot and injured a Salt Lake City police officer in 2010, and on January 1, a 24-year-old Iraq War veteran shot and killed a Mount Rainier National Park ranger.
Four Lewis-McChord soldiers were convicted in the deliberate thrill killings of three Afghan civilians in 2010.
The military newspaper Stars and Stripes called it 'the most troubled base in the military' that year.
The shooting, which followed a controversial Quran-burning incident involving U.S. soldiers, has outraged Afghan officials.

The Cincinnati Reds have placed Johnny Cueto on the 15-day disabled list.
The team said Cueto strained his right latissimus dorsi muscle during a weekend game against the Pirates.
After striking out Pedro Alvarez starting the fifth inning Saturday, Cueto threw a first-pitch strike to Travis Snider then began shaking his right arm. A Reds trainer visited Cueto on the mound, briefly massaged the pitcher's upper arm, and both then walked to the dugout.
Cueto, a 19-game winner, left the division series opener against San Francisco last season with an oblique strain that knocked him out for the rest of the series.
The Reds called up Justin Freeman from Louisville. The right-handed pitcher has appeared in four games so far with a 1.80 ERA.

I definitely recommend converting text to outlines (type>create outlines). It will turn all text into vector paths that are scalable with no quality loss. Also, if you have your logo sent to be printed for business cards or other materials, the printer won't need the fonts you've used because there is no font data in the logo. It would be a good idea though to save a main version with the text intact so that you can edit it when needed.
As long as there are no images in the logo, all the other Illustrator artwork will scale cleanly.
Hope this helps!
