Competitor's Fall Running Shoe Buyer's Guide
- By Brian Metzler | Competitor
- Published Sep 13, 2013
Skechers GoRun Ride 2, $80
weights: 7.0 oz. (men's); 6.6 oz. (women's)
heights: 26mm (heel), 23mm (forefoot)
Fit: The GoRun Ride 2 is dialed in tight in the heel and midfoot, but the forefoot is noticeably wide with plenty of room for the forefoot to splay and flex on every stride.
Feel: Ultralight and uber-soft. Although it's not a "barely there" minimalist model, the GoRun Ride 2 has plenty of minimalist-inspired design features and feels crazy light underfoot. But the most striking feature is its uncanny softness.
Ride: The GoRun Ride 2 is the cushiest shoe in our review and one of the cushiest our wear-testers have ever experienced. But that's a good thing, apparently, as many testers really liked it. The pillowy softness is unique, but it can be supremely smooth once you get into a rhythm. Summed up one tester: "It's like a cushy slipper that you can run in for hours and hours."

A 12-year-old Jackson Township girl and her 14-year-old male friend, reported missing by police Thursday morning, have been found, according to the boy's father.
Both were being evaluated at Pocono Medical Center for possible frostbite, according to Michael Pal.
"At the end of the day, it was a sharp-eyed MCTA bus driver who spotted them, and the MCTA led me to their general area," Pal said about help received from Monroe County Transit Authority.

Composer, author and philanthropist Peter Buffett on finding your own path to life fulfillment.
by Peter Buffett
Peter Buffett, Self-Help, Trust
Buffett, son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett, is an Emmy
Award-winning composer, NY Times best-selling author and noted
philanthropist. Currently, he is releasing socially-conscious music and
touring his "Concert & Conversation" series in support of his book Life Is What You Make It.
This is a song about safety:
"I Won't Let Go" by Peter Buffett From the moment we're born we rely on someone else for our
very survival.
If carbon is the basic building block of life, I believe
that safety is the most elemental component in a relationship. It's what we
needed first – and what continues to be necessary in order to grow into who we
become. "You're so becoming" is my favorite compliment.
When safety gives us a bed to sleep in at night and
animates us during the day we're allowed to live with our hearts open.
And safety comes in many forms:
• Knowing we're going to eat (at least 17 million
children in the US don't know where their next meal will come from, and 17,000
children die of starvation every day
• Knowing we'll be safe from physical and/or emotional
abuse (the numbers regarding how many people are subjected to abuse in its many
forms—and its effects—are staggering).
• Simply feeling heard, knowing that your thoughts and
feelings matter.
• Knowing that someone will always be there, which is comforting to
say the least.
What's keeping us from these feelings of safety? I would
look to what generates and perpetuates fear.
Again, these things come in many forms, and range from
topical saturation (the way we get our news and are marketed to) to systemic
(taxes required to sustain the military industrial complex – a double dose of
fear: higher taxes and annihilation). Meanwhile, pharmaceuticals are there to
numb the fear and stress, which is very different than feeling safe.
How can we change the story—individually and throughout
society—so more people feel safe and secure?
If the song's ending surprises you, think of it as letting
go—a "trust fall." I remember doing that with my dad as a kid. Falling
backward and believing he would catch me (he did!). That is transforming fear (falling and
getting hurt) into safety ... in the form of trust.

AUGUSTA, Ga.---25 million Americans depend on T-Mobile for their cell phone service. Now Augusta is going to be a big part of that company, with hundreds of new jobs heading to town.
Today T-Mobile announced they're opening a call center in Augusta, employing a least 750 people.
It's a deal that took more than a year to land.
Augusta was in the running with several other cities for this call center. But T-Mobile says it was Augusta's service mentality that won out in the end.
It's good news the mayor, the governor, and many movers and shakers in Augusta were happy to help deliver.
"I feel like I'm in the hospital on the delivery of a new baby for the community," Gov. Sonny Perdue said.
"Other communities wait for decades to get one of these, and we've had two in five months," Mayor Deke Copenhaver said, referring to ADP's similar announcement in October.
And T-Mobile plans on moving fast, having their call center built on Wheeler Road within a year's time.
T-Mobile vice president John Birrer says it's not just a call center. Employees will have access to a full workout room, a wireless internet café, and a game room.
"We really focus on the customer service having a good place to work every single day," Birrer said.
T-Mobile has over 25 million customers, and they say that number is growing fast. Officials with the company say the Garden City is the right place to help with that growth.
"We got to find a community that has the same customer service experience and mentality, and Augusta's a perfect fit for us," Birrer said.
A lot of you want to know the salary for these jobs. Mr. Birrer wasn't able to tell us that. He says there are a lot of factors involved.
He did, however, say these jobs will come with full benefits: health, dental, and 401K.

Advisor Perspectives welcomes guest contributions. The views presented here do not necessarily represent those of Advisor Perspectives.
Mark Twain suggested that it is better to remain quiet and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.Would that the 'gurus' who populate the investment and economics landscape would heed Twain's advice. Of course, that will never happen.
We know from studies of expert judgement that gurus who make nuanced predictions and hedge their bets attract much less attention than experts who spin dramatic predictions with unswerving confidence. As a result, firms are predisposed to encourage gurus to voice strong opinions and divergent views that stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately, the qualities that make some gurus more marketable than others are likely to render them less accurate: balanced experts tend to be more accurate than loud ideologues, and their opinions tend to be less damaging when they go wrong.
And even the best experts get it wrong a lot. In fact, they get it wrong more than they get it right. How do we know?
The best and most comprehensive study of expert judgment was performed by Philip Tetlock. In 1985 Tetlock, fascinated by his previous experience serving on political intelligence committees in the early 1980s, set out to discover just how accurate expert forecasters were in their predictions of future events. Over a span of almost 20 years, he interviewed 284 experts about their level of confidence that a certain outcome would come to pass. Forecasts were solicited across a wide variety of domains, including economics, politics, climate, military strategy, financial markets, legal opinions, and other complex domains with uncertain outcomes. In all, Tetlock accumulated an astounding 82,000 forecasts.
This represents an incredible body of evidence about expert judgment, and Tetlock's analysis rendered several astounding conclusions:
- Expert forecasts were less well calibrated than one would expect from random guesses
- Aggregated forecasts were better than any individual forecasts, but were still worse than random guesses
- Experts who appeared in the media most regularly were the least accurate
- Experts with the most extreme views were also the least accurate
- Experts exhibited higher forecast calibration outside of their field of expertise
- Among all 284 experts, not one demonstrated forecast accuracy beyond random guesses
In short, experts would have delivered better forecasts by flipping coins. But there was a silver lining.
Tetlock also tracked some simple, rules based statistical models alongside the experts to see if these models would be competitive in terms of forecast calibration. He found that many simple models performed with substantially better calibration than the experts, and delivered accuracy well beyond random chance. Chock another one up for the quants.
You might be wondering whether there are any similar types of studies conducted specifically in the area of financial markets. You're in luck, as there are have been several.
CXO Advisory has been tracking and publishing gurus' forecasts of market direction since 1998.
Recently, CXO published a review of all 6,459 forecasts from all of the market 'gurus' that they tracked from 1998 - 2012.
Specifically, the gurus were graded on their ability to call the direction of the market, but were not penalized for missing the magnitude of the move.
Over 14 years, CXO concluded that the average guru's accuracy in calling the direction of the market has been about 47%, or slightly worse than a coin toss. The following chart shows how the accuracy of forecasts has stabilized over time around the 47% mark as the sample size expanded over time. In other words, the experts were less reliable than flipping coins.
Source: CXO Advisory
The evidence does not end there. The following charts, sourced from James Montier's incredibly useful book, Behavioural Investing (2007), show aggregate forecasts from Wall Street's most famous oracles through time, next to the actual trajectory of the forecast variable.
Chart 1. Consensus bond yields forecasts 1 year out vs. actual
Chart 2. Consensus S&P500 level 1 year forecasts vs. actual
Chart 3. Consensus S&P500 aggregate earnings 1 year forecasts vs. actual
In all cases the analysts appear to do a noteworthy job of describing what just happened, but appear to have no vision whatsoever about what is about to happen next. This applies to interest rates, the level of stock indices, and aggregate earnings.
Source: Despair.com
Do any experts get it right? What about the experts at the Federal Reserve who are in charge of setting interest rates? Can they predict the magnitude or direction of interest rates just six months hence?
A working paper entitled "History of the Forecasters: An Assessment of the Semi-Annual U.S. Treasury Bond Yield Forecast Survey" (Brooks & Gray, 2003) studied the ability of Federal Reserve economists, including Alan Greenspan, from 1982 - 2002 to discover whether the group of experts that sets interest rates is able to effectively forecast their trajectory through time.
Chart 3.
Source: (Brooks & Gray, 2003)
Again we see a strong talent for describing what has just happened, but no talent whatsoever for predicting what will happen next. Just how poor was the forecasting ability of Fed economists, including sitting Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, over the 20 year survey?
Chart 4.
Source: (Brooks & Gray, 2003)
The scatter plot above shows how Fed forecasts of interest rates just six months out are negatively correlated with actual outcomes. The r-squared of the regression is 7%, which is not statistically significant, so don't bet the farm against the Fed either. The point is, they can't forecast any better than anyone else.
There is ample evidence that strategists and gurus are unlikely to add much value to the investing process - at least where the goal is to grow your portfolio. Our next article will address another ubiquitous observation in wealth management - overconfidence - and discuss solutions for disillusioned investors looking for a new direction with better odds of success.

Public Relations
If you don't want premature wrinkles or gray hair, run! This job is not for you. Public relations jobs at nearly all levels are loaded with stress. Deadlines dominate your world. You are dealing with different personalities who want many different things and are highly demanding. Projects that cost a lot of money are under your care and you'd better handle those well. When the client is in trouble, you have to rally quickly to put out lots of fires—again, crazily stressful times. Many people who love this job say that they "thrive on the stress and excitement." That, and a huge bottle of antacids.

NEW ALBANY – The arm of Turner Neely had enough gas in it.
The bat of Maikhail Miller had one crucial swing to give.
Neely and Miller combined with the rest of the North Delta Dealers to earn a 6-3 victory over the Golden Triangle Jets on Sunday in the championship game of the Cotton States College League.
"Neely has been tremendous all year," said Dealers head coach Jon Andy Scott, a former Booneville and Ole Miss player. "We got ourselves in a bit of bind in the fifth inning, but we kept attacking, and moved the momentum in our favor."
The fifth frame was the crucial point in the contest, with the Jets scoring three runs in the top of the inning to grab the lead. Zach Randolph from Amory and Mississippi State had an RBI hit in the at-bat, with Grant House and Dylan Castoria adding RBIs for the Jets.
Long gone
But the Dealers responded in the bottom of the inning.
A pair of Jets errors set up Jaylan Bledsoe's RBI bunt for the Dealers' first run. Taylor King scratched out run-scoring hit after that to tie the score at 3-3.
That set up Miller, the Fulton native and former Ole Miss football player, who took a pitch high and over the left field wall for a three-run home run to give the Dealers the lead for good.
"I had a bad night last night, so I got in the cage before this game," Miller said. "This is my first year in this league, and it's awesome."
Neely settled down after his fifth-inning struggle, facing only seven batters in the final two innings for the complete-game victory.
Jets starter Kale Fultz hurled 42⁄3 innings and was charged with the loss.

Think your friends might be familiar with this merchant? Ask your friends on Facebook to see what they think.
Great service, prompt, professional.
Called to book an appointment with a plumber, they took a message saying they would call me back that evening, called again the next day and was rudely told that they got my message the day before and would call me back. They never called back. Not good customer service
I called to have an air conditioner looked at that hadn't been ran in 8 years. Their technician was there the next day and had it up and running in 20 minutes. Then, in no time, he fixed all the mistakes previous companies made when they installed, or "fixed" the air conditioner before. This thing runs better than the day it was installed. Call me impressed. When the bill arrived it was half what I was expecting. Bring on the heat wave. I won't sweat it. Thanks guys.
Called this company asking if they would do a free estimate on a gas line for a BBQ, the owner took my name, number and address, then told me he would stop by next week sometime (I called on a Friday), 3 weeks later, he never even phoned me back. Not impressed.

If it were a major company, like Nike, it just opens the door to more outsourced manufactoring. I dont think that is much to be proud of..

Fiat has just launched a new device that could change the way motorists drive their cars. Fiat presented eco:Drive to the international press last week at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. This innovative system gives drivers an accurate insight into how their driving style influences their fuel consumption, and actively helps them to drive more efficiently, saving money and reducing their CO2 emissions.
eco:Drive is a software application that can be downloaded and installed on any computer. eco:Drive works using Fiat's Blue&Me entertainment and communications system, which was developed in conjunction with Microsoft. Plugging any USB key into the Blue&Me port allows eco:Drive to record detailed information about the vehicle's efficiency and your driving style during a journey. The information can be 'read' by plugging the USB key into your computer when you've finished driving.
Users can analyse fuel consumption and emissions for each journey made, and receive advice on how to drive more efficiently, reducing their impact on the environment. eco:Drive will give you a score out of 100 – your eco:Index – to show how efficiently you have driven, based on your acceleration, deceleration, gear changes and speed. A series of tutorials will help you to improve your score, showing you how to perfect your driving using detailed information from your own journeys.
Drivers who start eco:Driving can expect to improve their driving efficiency by up to 15 per cent. That means a 15 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions and in fuel costs. Fiat has also created ecoVille, an online community populated by all eco:Drivers from around the world. Users will be able to share tips, watch the community grow, and see just how much CO2 they are all saving together.
Fiat 500 and Grande Punto are the first Fiat Group vehicles to use eco:Drive. In 2009, eco:Drive will be extended to the rest of the Fiat range equipped with Blue&Me.

The Poisons and Venoms of Organisms...
Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
Treatment of B-Cell Lymphomas with Monoclonal...
Maximum Depth Sequencing Has the Potential...
Researchers at the University College of London (UCL) have demonstrated the ability of adult stem cells to deliver a cancer-killing protein to tumors.
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), used as vectors to transport anti-tumor therapy, carry TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) to tumors, destroying the tumor cells while sparing normal cells. The genetically engineered stem cells are able to home to the cancer cells, both in culture and in mouse models. "Present oncological therapies are limited by host toxicity," said Michael Loebinger, M.D., a researcher at UCL. "They are also limited by cancer resistance and may not destroy cancer stem cells."
In this first study to intravenously introduce MSCs that have been genetically modified to deliver TRAIL, the investigators chose the breast cancer cells for both the culture and mouse models because in their in vitro experiments, the MSCs demonstrated a particularly strong homing to breast cancer cells. "Breast cancer tumors are a good model of metastases," noted Dr. Loebinger, "but our plan is to test the engineered stem cells with other models, including lung cancer."
In the study, presented May 19 at the American Thoracic Society's 105th International Conference in San Diego, the scientists identified those cells likely to be resistant to therapies and found that they were just as likely to be destroyed as tumor cells by this novel therapy.
In culture, the stem cells caused lung, squamous, breast, and cervical cancer cells to die (all p< 0.01), even at low stem cell/tumor cell ratios (1:16). In mice, the researchers showed that the stem cells could reduce the growth of subcutaneous breast tumors by approximately 80% (p< .0001). The stem cells could also be injected intravenously as therapy for mice with lung metastases and could eliminate lung metastases in 38% of mice compared to control mice, all of which still had metastases (p=0.03).

Analysis: Booker's Seven Basic Plots Analysis
Christopher Booker is a scholar who wrote that every story falls into one of seven basic plot structures: Overcoming the Monster, Rags to Riches, the Quest, Voyage and Return, Comedy, Tragedy, and Rebirth. Shmoop explores which of these structures fits this story like Cinderella's slipper.
Plot Type : Comedy
The world is under a shadow of confusion and misunderstanding
Dorothea marries Mr. Casaubon; Mr. Lydgate marries Rosamond
The reason Dorothea marries Mr. Casaubon is that she assumes that Mr. Casaubon's scholarly research is a great and noble task, and that her own yearning to participate in some grand work will be satisfied by helping him. Her marriage is a result of a whole slew of misunderstandings: she doesn't understand herself or her own desires and she doesn't understand Mr. Casaubon. The same is true of Lydgate's marriage to Rosamond – they both assume that their marriage will be like a fairy tale, and neither are prepared to deal with the reality of life with each other. They both project fantasies onto the other, without understanding each other's true personality.
The confusion gets worse
Mr. Casaubon's jealousy leads him to make the codicil forbidding Dorothea to marry Will Ladislaw; Will's mother's family is unknown; the distance between Lydgate and Rosamond increases
All of the initial confusion and misunderstandings get worse: The question of Will's background becomes a more pressing question because of his relationship with Mr. Brooke. Mr. Casaubon's lack of understanding of Dorothea's personality leads him to misinterpret her friendship for Will Ladislaw. Meanwhile, Dorothea doesn't recognize the anxieties and insecurities that are making her husband unhappy. Will thinks that Dorothea doesn't like him anymore, and Rosamond's alienation from her husband leads her to develop a crush on Will. Dorothea mistakenly believes that Will and Rosamond are having an affair.
Everything is made clear!
Raffles tells Will about his mother's family; Rosamond explains to Dorothea that Will is innocent and still loves her; Fred learns that Mary Garth has loved him the whole time.
All of the misunderstandings are clarified. Rosamond is not, in fact, having an affair with Will Ladislaw. He and Dorothea finally express their undying love for each other. The mystery of Will's background is finally cleared up. The scandal associated with the death of Raffles is explained away. Lydgate and Rosamond might not live happily ever after, but at least Rosamond doesn't try to initiate any more extramarital affairs.

Strain doubles superconductor temperatures
Jul 30, 1998
European researchers have developed a technique that can double the temperature at which some copper oxide compounds are superconducting. Jean-Pierre Locquet of IBM Research in Zurich and colleagues used compressive strain in thin films to boost the transition temperature, Tc, from 25 K to 49 K (Nature 394 453).
Their technique works by growing single crystal films of the superconducting compound lanthanum-strontium-copper-oxide (La1.9Sr0.1CuO4) on top of a crystal with a smaller lattice spacing. Because the layers are very thin, the layer of superconductor is placed under 'epitaxial' strain. The compression in a single plane produces much greater improvements in Tc than standard ways of applying pressure.
If the same techniques can be applied to the compounds with the highest transition temperatures, the authors believe their method has the potential to raise Tc beyond 200 K, a feat they hope might reignite the race towards room-temperature superconductivity.

A mid-year move into a new high school and heavily renovated Campus Elementary School is in the works, according to Streetsboro City Schools Superintendent Michael Daulbaugh.
"Specific plans for a mid-year move have not been worked out yet," he stated in a June 26 email to the Streetsboro Gateway News. "After the project is underway and we have a better idea regarding a finalized move-in date, plans will be developed."
The projected completion date of a new high school and addition to Campus Elementary School is December 2016. The construction timeline was announced earlier this month.
Daulbaugh said the move would be done in phases "over a two- to three-month period."
The move also would be organized so there would be "minimal items to move when we take occupancy," he added.
The students at Wait Primary School would move into Campus, joining the second- and third-graders in a single building. The new high school will house grades 9-12.

The Ducks have recalled goaltender Jeff Deslauriers from the Norfolk Admirals, Anaheim's primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL). In addition, the club has reassigned defensemen Sami Vatanen and Jordan Hendry to Norfolk.
The recall of Deslauriers comes after Jonas Hiller left after the first period of last night's 3-1 loss in Dallas with a lower body injury. Hiller is listed as day-to-day.
Deslauriers, 28 (5/15/84), appeared in two games with Norfolk this season, going 1-1-0 with a 3.51 goals-against average (GAA) and .889 save percentage (SV%). Deslauriers made his season debut on Jan. 20 at Charlotte and earned his first win last night vs. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, stopping 31-of-32 shots for a 4-1 victory.
Signed as a free agent on July 12, 2011, Deslauriers appeared in four games with Anaheim last season, posting a 3-1-0 record with a 2.74 GAA and .903 SV%. He most recently backstopped Anaheim to a 3-2 overtime victory over Edmonton on Apr. 5 at Rexall Place, stopping 24-of-26 shots. Selected by Edmonton in the second round (31st overall) of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft, Deslauriers has appeared in 62 career NHL contests with the Ducks and Oilers, posting a 23-32-4 record with three shutouts, a 3.24 GAA and a .901 SV%.
Vatanen, 21 (6/3/91), appeared in three games for Anaheim this season, going scoreless with a +1 rating. Selected in the fourth round (106th overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Vatanen has appeared in 34 games with the Admirals in 2012-13, earning 4-19=23 points with 30 penalty minutes (PIM). He returns to Norfolk leading team defensemen in goals, assists and points, and leading club rookies in assists and scoring.
Hendry, 28 (2/23/84), played two games for Anaheim this season, going scoreless while averaging 17:34 time-on-ice (TOI). Signed as a free agent on July 1, 2012, Hendry began his eighth professional season with Norfolk, collecting 2-2=4 points and 33 PIM.

A 5-year-old girl and her mother are seen in your office. The mother explains that the child has been complaining of genital pain for one day, since she picked her up from the new child care yesterday afternoon. Because of recent articles the mother has read about sexual abuse, she is worried her daughter's symptoms may indicate abuse. When you ask the child why she is there to see you today, she tells you, "My private hurts," and grasps her genitals.

The Daily Thread: Louis Vuitton Scraps Plans For Massive Tokyo Flagship, Moody's Downgrades Neiman Marcus, Roberto Cavalli's First Club
The Daily Thread rounds up the major fashion news of the morning.
Louis Vuitton said Tuesday it was dropping plans for a massive flagship store in Tokyo's Ginza district as the global economic crisis dampens the market for luxury goods. The French luxury brand had planned a 12-floor, 130,000 square-foot store that would have been its largest flagship globally. It had been slated for opening in 2010. French parent LVMH Moet Hennessy-Louis Vuitton said its Japanese sales fell 7% in the nine months ended September 30 compared with the same period a year earlier. The company last week announced it would cut prices in Japan. AFP
Credit problems left major retail-property owners reeling Monday as one was unable to complete a deal that would bring it much needed cash and two others continued to seek reprieves from lenders to keep them out of bankruptcy court. Developers Diversified Realty Corp., the owner and manager of 720 shopping centers globally, disclosed Monday that a deal to sell stakes in 13 centers to an institutional buyer for $890 million won't close this month as expected. Also on Monday, mall owner General Growth Properties Inc. remained locked in negotiations with its lenders for an extension of a $900 million bank loan backed by two luxury malls in Las Vegas. WSJ
Moody's Investors Service on Monday lowered Neiman Marcus Inc.'s rating outlook to negative from stable and downgraded its senior unsecured debt to "B3" from "B2." The downgrade keeps Neiman's within the B category — considered "speculative" and subject to "high credit risk." Other ratings for the Dallas-based retailer were affirmed at B1. The actions follow the company's disclosure last week that its first-quarter net income sank 83.6%, to $12.9 million, as comparable-store sales dropped 14.5%. WWD
Mixing old outfits with new accessories has become an increasingly popular strategy for updating wardrobes among American consumers. The trend is expected to push the U.S. fashion accessories market to over $16 billion by the end of the year, according to market research publisher Packaged Facts in a new report. Two of the six major accessories categories covered in the report are experiencing bullish growth: bags and ties/other neckwear. Packaged Facts forecasts that the overall fashion accessories market will reach $20 billion by the end of 2012, expanding almost 24% between 2008 and 2012. Marketwatch
Disposable fashion, the buzz-word of the boom times, is heading for the recycling bin. In today's economic downturn, low-priced fashion retailers such as H&M are switching their focus from fashion-conscious customers looking to change their style each week to cost-conscious consumers trading down. But while budget food retailers such as William Morrison and Wal-Mart's Asda are gaining market share and reporting increased sales, fashion is a different story. H&M Monday reported a 4% drop in November like-for-like sales while analysts estimate same-store sales at Inditex, Europe's largest fashion retailer best known for its Zara stores, were up a disappointing 1% in the first nine months of the year. WSJ
Athletic-clothing retailer Adrenalina withdrew its buyout offer for Pacific Sunwear of California on Monday, citing the recent fall in the company's share price, but said it still seeks to acquire its larger rival. Adrenalina, which is now a shareholder of PacSun, said it plans to significantly increase its stake in the company and reiterated that it may take its buyout proposal directly to PacSun's shareholders. Shares of PacSun, a surfing-inspired apparel chain with more than 1,000 stores, have lost 89 percent of their market value since Oct. 28, the day before Adrenalina made the higher of two rejected offers.

Roberto Cavalli has opened a club in a 15th-century deconsecrated church in Florence.

In Dubai, the designer will sell Cavalli Club merchandise — from lamps and cutlery, to china and glassware. WWD
Cafe Press, the online retailer of pop culture paraphernalia, has already introduced tee-shirts that mark George Bush's shoe-throwing kerfuffle in Iraq.

Epitaph for an Old Woman
by Octavio Paz
Symbol Analysis
For an emotionally affecting poem, most of this poem doesn't talk directly about emotion. Yet, through the images that it shows us, emotions really do come through. Then, the end of the poem talks explicitly about joy and sorrow—in terms of life and death.
- Line 1: This line, though it seems straightforward as it sets the scene, involves emotion. Think about the emotions that "they" must be feeling.
- Lines 2-4: These lines suggest that even though he is long dead, the woman's husband still feels emotion when his wife is buried. These emotions could be joy, or sorrow. It's left up to us; as we read we can't help but tremble a little bit too.
- Lines 5-6: These lines are obviously about emotion, specifically, joy and sorrow. They say that joy for life is sorrow for death, but that's not the only situation where this switching occurs. For example, joy in a relationship necessarily means sorrow for the end of that relationship. What other examples can you think of? Giving up chocolate when going on a diet, perhaps? OK, maybe life and death is a lot more serious than giving up chocolate (emphasis on the maybe). But the point is that this poem's discussion of emotion applies to more than just life and death.

During the semester, students take senior seminars on the American political system and choose an internship in congressional offices, agencies, or think-tanks. They also meet national leaders in politics, journalism, business, the military, and the arts and visit the great historical and cultural sites of the city. Begun in 1935, the Washington Study Group is the oldest of Colgate's study groups and the first program of its kind in Washington, D.C. Many of its graduates establish life-long connections in Washington and return to Washington after graduation to build successful careers in national government and politics. This study group has not been designated to satisfy the Core Global Engagements requirement. Students will need to meet the Global Engagement requirement by enrolling in a designated course offered on campus. Program Structure and Course Credits The program features three 400-level seminars and a 12-week internship with an executive agency, think-tank, or congressional committee. Integrating course work with direct participation, the program provides a balance of academic study, social life, and practical experience. The three graded courses (POSC 410, 412, and 414) count for concentration credit, while the pass/fail internship component (POSC 413) counts toward graduation requirements. 1. Our Changing Constitutional Order (POSC 410, 8 weeks). An inquiry into the enduring principles and changing features of the U.S. constitutional order, this course explores the founding principles of America and major institutions as they evolved from the founding period to the present, focusing on the balance of three branches of government, styles of leadership, and policy debates. It meets twice weekly in seminars combining lecture and group discussion. Taught by Professor Brubaker. 2. Executive Decision Making and Leadership (POSC 412). The first half of this course meets as a weekly seminar, and explores themes relevant to the students' experience in Washington: why government organizations function (or fail to function) as they do, presidential leadership of the bureaucracy, the formation of political/policy agendas, budget development and execution, executive-congressional relations, the media, and current events. In the second half of this course, students, with personal supervision of the instructor, will research and write a major paper on a topic that draws upon sources unique to our Washington location. Taught by Robert Samuels. 3. Internships in the American Political System (POSC 413, 12 weeks). Students serve a 12-week internship with executive agencies, congressional offices, the Supreme Court, the state department, the media or interest groups. They participate directly in the activities of the political process. The Readings and Research course (POSC 412) is designed to enhance and complement this internship experience. Pass/Fail. Placements and supervision by Robert Samuels. 4. Contemporary Politics and Policy (POSC 414, 7 weeks). This course continues themes developed in POSC 410 and 412. It traces major constitutional developments and policy debates following the New Deal until today focusing on the role of government in people's lives. Previous topics have included health care, welfare reform, immigration, the national debt, campaign finance, energy policy, social security, and the balancing of civil liberties with security issues. In research papers and class presentations, students will be asked to propose policy reforms and assess their political feasibility. Taught by Professor Brubaker. Throughout the semester, as part of the academic and experiential components of the program, we will have interviews with leaders in the policy process – media figures, interest group and party spokesmen, politicians, academicians, officials, and high-level civil servants. Students are expected to take full advantage of these opportunities by being active and informed participants. Eligibility, Basis for Selection, and Prerequisites The Washington Study Group is open to students who will be juniors, seniors, or mature sophomores in Spring 2016. Stu-dents do not have to concentrate in political science to be eligible for the group (though most participants are political science majors). Selections are made by the Director in consultation with other members of the Department of Political Science. Criteria for selection include: academic achievement, evidence of interest, and personal qualifications essential to successful participation in the program. Successful applicants for the Washington Study Group must take one of the following prerequisite courses: POSC 210: Congress and Decision-making in American Government POSC 150: America as a Democracy POSC 211: The Presidency and Executive Leadership Libraries For research papers, students may use the Library of Congress and will have checkout privileges at Georgetown University Library.They may also use nearby libraries at American University, Catholic University, and the University of Maryland, or other public libraries located in the Washington area. Living Arrangements Students will live in apartments by Colgate University in the Cleveland House located near the Woodley Park/Zoo Metro stop in the District of Columbia. Students take the Red Line from the Woodley Park/Zoo metro stop to Union Station and then walk about two blocks to the Hall of the States, where classes are held. Colgate will make the necessary arrangements for apartment leases and will charge students for housing. Helpful Links Living in History by James Leach Washington Study Group History Colgate off-campus study policies Admitted Study Group Participants: required forms Standards of Conduct Activities and behavior of the Study Group members in Washington must be consistent with their responsibilities as students of the governmental process, as representatives of Colgate University, and – during internships – as participants in governmental operations. The program is a full-time activity and precludes other work commitments, such as part-time employment. On internship assignments, students maintain the regular work schedule of their offices. Extracurriculars Washington offers an abundance of rich, cultural life, including the Smithsonian Museums, Shakespearean theatre, musical performances at the Kennedy Center and other venues, and a wide variety of sporting events. The study group will attend a variety of educational, cultural, and athletic events. Costs For details of student expenses on this study group, please see the Student Cost Estimate Sheet.

Apple Store Has Power Outage at iPhone Launch
Talk about bad timing.
In Bethesda, Md., as at other Apple stores around the world, eager fans lined up to buy the company's latest iPhones. But just moments before the suburban Washington store was set to open at 8 a.m., the power went out, according to buyers' and local news reporters' posts on Twitter. A call to the Apple store went unanswered. Local power company Pepco later confirmed there was a power outage Friday morning, but said power has been restored. Update: Pepco says a squirrel made contact with its equipment. (Hat tip to a commenter, who pointed out this update from a local blog.)
The sudden setback:
Power went out at Bethesda Apple store one minute before opening. People who waited in line for new iPhone turned away.

Is Genocide Coming to South Africa?
Written by Selwyn Duke, The New American
Tuesday, 20 April 2010 09:30
Back in the 1980s, South Africa figured prominently on the West's radar screen. Protests against apartheid were everywhere; the movement even inspired a song: "Sun City." With the fall of the apartheid regime in 1994, however, people lost interest in the faraway land.
But with the murder of Eugene Terreblanche, leader of the neo-Nazi Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB), South Africa is, albeit briefly, back in the news. What the media isn't reporting, though, is that the killing of Terreblanche has little to do with his unpalatable political views, but is part of a wider pattern of targeting whites — virtually none of whom are supremacists. In fact, thousands of white farmers have already been murdered.
While racial strife in South Africa isn't surprising, the current level of violence is no accident, but the work of a demagogue. His name is Julius Malema.
Leader of the ruling African National Congress' (ANC's) Youth Movement, Malema is a black supremacist who aims to follow in the footsteps of Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, who has long been persecuting white farmers in his nation. David Smith at The Guardian reports on the story, presenting a glimpse of a dystopian South African future:The year is 2019. President Julius Malema thumps his fist on the lectern and roars: "South Africa shall never be a colony again!" He whips up the crowd into a patriotic frenzy with chants about the hated Boers. He promises: "We will drive the white man from the land, we will drive him from the mines, we will drive him from the boardrooms. Africa for the Africans."
This is the nightmare future that haunts many South Africans, black and white. They regard Malema as a clown, a loudmouth and a bully. But they increasingly fear that he really could follow Nelson Mandela in going from the African National Congress youth league to president of the republic.
Unfortunately, Malema Version 2010 is no better. He has continued to agitate the masses by singing a song containing the words "kill the Boer" ("Boer" is a Dutch word meaning "farmer," but it has become a derogatory term for any white South African), even after the nation's courts ruled it hate speech and the ANC, finally, asked its members to stop singing it.
As for the ANC government, its response has been an attempt to cover the problem up. It no longer records the races of those who commit murder and their victims, as this had shown that the latter group included a percentage of white South Africans disproportionate enough to attract the attention of GenocideWatch.org. The media also is complicit in the cover-up, as black-on-white crime is just too politically incorrect to touch. Yet there's no fooling those on the ground. As Pamela Geller at American Thinker writes:Whites in South Africa are keenly aware of the plans to kill them. They expect mass killings to begin very soon after the death of Mandela, but to tell this to the world is a waste of energy. More than three thousand white farmers have already been murdered, and Genocide Watch lists the Boer farmers in South Africa as victims of genocide — but the media couldn't care less. Malema has praised Zimbabwe's murderous seizure of white-owned farms as "courageous and militant." White South Africans know what's coming.
And if it comes, the media — which seem to have forgotten one of their favorite terms, "hate crime" — will have blood on their hands. As Geller also points out, "The mainstream media portrays all white South Africans as racist monsters like Eugene Terreblanche. This is simply not true. And remember: A key step on the road to genocide is to dehumanize the intended victims."
Yet, should Malema's dark vision become reality, whites won't be the only victims. When racial hatred drove Mugabe to seize farms from whites — the only ones with experience running them — the unsurprising result was starvation, as Zimbabwe was transformed from breadbasket to economic basket case. And if Malema replicates Daddy Mugabe's deadly mix of bigotry and neo-bolshevism, South Africa will descend into the same morass. Food may be scarce and foreign investment even more so. It's what's known as "Cutting off your nose to spite your face."
This isn't lost on educated black South Africans, one of whom David Smith quotes as saying, "Malema for president? Never. I will personally kill him before that happens."
That's certainly easier said than done. What may be more likely, sadly, is that Malema will kill his nation.

ANC: Farmers to blame for attacks
Lizel Steenkamp, Beeld
2010-04-21 09:28
Cape Town - It's farmers' fault that many farms are unsafe, ANC MPs said on Tuesday.
André Botha, chair of Agri SA's policy committee on rural safety, said during a presentation to the portfolio committee on police that the derogatory statements about white farmers made by government officials and senior politicians, is one of the biggest challenges.
Patrick Chauke, ANC MP, dismissed this.
"Political statements are the least of your worries. Organised agriculture knows all too well that they are the cause of the problems. The police try their best, but the solution lies with you," he said to Botha.
Chauke carried on to argue that farm workers are abused, and that illegal immigrants are "held prisoner" by farmers.
"Most of the cattle theft is committed by the farmers themselves. And they sell alcohol to the people who live on the farm."
Aggressive farmers
According to Sindi Chikunga, ANC MP and committee chair, there are many kind-hearted farmers.
"But it's also a fact that there are many violently aggressive farmers and you (Agri SA) should publicly condemn them."
Allegations were also made that farmers are reluctant to become police reservists and don't want to get involved with community policing forums and sector policing.
Botha, who is a police reservist, told Beeld afterwards that he was extremely unhappy about what happened during the meeting. He dismissed and denied the statement that farmers don't want to help the police to secure their farms.
"We try our best to get involved (with sector policing), but the systems and the incompetent people (within the police) prevent our participation."
Botha said the government is not doing its duty to protect farmers, and then it wants to shift all the responsibility onto the organised agriculture sector.
"I'm an ordinary citizen with certain rights. The politicians should acknowledge where the responsibility lies. It's their duty to govern. To leave the ball in our court... No, I am definitely not comfortable with that."
Food security under threat
According to Agri SA's statistics, over the past 18 years there have been up to 11 785 farm attacks and 1 804 farmers were murdered. Up to 121 000 livestock, worth about R365m, was stolen in the 2008-'09 financial year alone.
Botha warned that commercial agriculture can't absorb these losses indefinitely and that food security is under threat.
Agri SA supports the government's plan for rural safety and prefers it to the old commando system.
But Botha said the plan is falling apart due to an enormous lack of leadership, management and controls within the police. Resources are abused, there's corruption and most station commanders don't know how to apply sector policing in rural areas.
Cope MP Mluleki George supported the ANC's position and said Agri SA, which represents about 80% of the country's commercial farmers, should accept their co- responsibility for the safety of farmers and farm workers.
The latest statistics regarding attacks and murders on farms will be available in May, when police officials present their plan for rural security to Parliament. - Beeld

The credit, abbreviated as "cR," is the standard currency of the UNSC. It is the only currency used by the UNSC that has yet been mentioned, and it is unclear if it is based off any older money systems.
History Edit
It is unknown when credits first began usage. As of 2552, the Credit is still in use. Credits can be spent in the form of "credit chips," which seem to be the equivalent of the modern credit card.[1]
Equivalents Edit
There are multiple equivalent currencies used throughout the galaxy. Trade rates are unknown.
- Venezia uses a currency called a Flex card.[2]
- The Covenant equivalent to the Credit is known as Gekz.[3]

Gameplay Edit
Credit Farming Edit
In Halo: Reach, there are many strategies to earning many credits to increase in rank and so on. A very popular technique is shown below.
- A common trick is to go to the 3rd mission, and sprint past all of the enemies until you get to the room with the target locator. Fire at the large group of covenant that has probably amassed in chasing you, and move to the back of the blast doors, where you will get a checkpoint. if you have done this correctly, you should get a Killionare medal each time. Keep reloading the last checkpoint as many times as you want, then finish the rest of the level. With the introduction of custom challenges on Halo Waypoint, it is possible to get 20,000 credits every few seconds with this tactic. This tactic has since been patched.
- UNSC personnel sometimes casually refer to credits as "credaroos," analogous to the way Americans refer to dollars as "buckaroos."[10]
- Another slang word for credits would be the term "creds", a shortened version of the root word.
- In the trailer of Halo 3: ODST, there are monitors that are intended to announce information to citizens. One of the messages says "Your tax dollars at work." As dollar is no longer functioning currency, the sign should really read "tax credits," but it is likely that the old phrase has not changed since the 21st century.
- According to Halo: The Fall of Reach, there are no coins or papers used in the credit system,[11] but in the Audio Logs in Halo 3: ODST, an old woman is heard breaking an ATM with money in the form of coins and presumably paper coming out. Another ATM, found in gameplay, which also houses an Audio Log, is also constantly spitting out money until the Audio Log is collected. It is unknown whether this is an oversight or if the currency is different than credits.
- Credits are used by the player in Halo: Reach to buy Armor Permutations, Firefight Voices, and Armor effects for their Spartan character in the game. These credits also determine Rank.[12]
- If a Marine is killed with friendly fire in Halo 3, another one may say "Okay, now you owe me twenty credits!"
- The headhunters Jonah and Roland would constantly bet twenty credits while on missions.[13]
- They aren't used in Forge. Instead, the Dollar ($) is used.
- It could be presumed the trade for credits is $1=4cR. This is reinforced by the fact the a person gets four credits per normal kill, and how soldiers bet 20 credits instead of the stereotypical 5 dollars.
- Credits are the same money system that is used in Star Wars and many other games and shows.
- In Halo Reach Moa burgers cost 7.77 cR, this is a reference to Bungie's love of the number 7.

|Electrodeposition of Ni in Sub-Micrometer Trenches
|July 02, 2007
|A survey of the effect of cationic, anionic and non-ionic surfactants on the rate and morphological evolution of nickel electrodeposition from a Watts-type bath is presented. Particular attention is given to the prospect for void free filling of sub-micrometer trenches. Cationic species such as protonated, nitrogen-bearing polyethyimmine (PEI) and cetyl-trimethy-ammonium (CTA+) yield significant inhibition of nickel deposition. For a range of concentrations the single cationic surfactant systems exhibit hysteretic voltammetric curves that, when corrected for ohmic electrolyte losses, reveal an S-shaped negative differential resistance. Void-free bottom-up feature filling is observes when operating at potentials within the hysteretic regime whereby metal deposition begins preferentially in the mist densely patterned regions of the wafer followed by propagation of the growth front laterally across the remaining wafer surface. In contrast, at low overpotentials and concentrations sulfur-bearing additives such as thiourea (TU) exert a depolarizing effect on nickel deposition and negligible hysteresis. When PEI and TU are both present, the suppression provided by PEI is diminished and feature filling leads to uniform deposition on the wafer scale. Suitable combinations of PEI and TU enable near void-free filling of >230 nm wide trenches with sloping (~3.5 degrees) sidewalls. Initial conformal growth is followed by geometric leveling once the deposits on the sloping sidewalls meet.

Over hyped BBThere is no denial in the fact that BB phones have been selling as pieces of hot cakes due to the cult brand status of BB in india but the consumer has to understand the purpose of their buy. Most buyers buy due to so called easier communication due to the Blackberry Messenger which cost Rs. 300 without internet and Rs. 400 with internet in which the buyer limits his communication profile only to the blackberry users on the other hand an android user may download a popular messenger like "whatsapp" or "yahoo messenger" which could run on a monthly GPRS internet recharge of Rs 98 (2GB upload/do… (Expand)

BlackBerry-'A Classic Revolution In Mobile Phones'Many people now uses one or the other smart phone but do they utilize the maximum apps out of it.No,they don't.Why many people prefer classic cars and bikes to the sporty and flashy ones? Ans is simple they don't go out of date.It is not about BB cult or limited specs of BB but BB is one of its type which provides a fully spaced QWERTY with classy looks.Morever recent wikileaks survey shows touchscreens are more prone to hackers because virtual keyboard itself is a software.Its like More money More tension.So no more apps and classic is the Best.NEILAV KONWAR

Don't waste your hard-earned money (this is pure bull-shit)I'd purchased this phone in October 2011 and by January 2012 it stopped working. Battery gets discharged in 2 hours after full charge and phone gets hanged for every alternate call. Sent for customer care center. After servicing the phone for more than 10days, they returned it saying that the problem is solved. Took it home and found that nothing has really changed. Executive from BB customer care says that in 3G active option the phone gets discharged in 2 hours. DON'T EVEN THINK TO GO FOR BLACKBERRY FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND.
