Governance and urban land markets
Stephen Berrisford takes a look at the importance of governance in the quest to make land markets work better for the poor.
Why is governance important for urban land markets, and especially for making them work better for the poor?
Urban land as a commodity has special features.
Firstly, as land it is endowed with all the legal attributes of 'immovable property'. The law does not look at land - whether it be in Benoni, Botshabelo or Baardskeerdersbos - in the same way as it looks, for instance, at shares on the stock exchange, agricultural produce or manufactured goods. Land, at least in South Africa, must be registered with the Registrar of Deeds, for a fee. It must be surveyed by the Surveyor General, also for a fee. This is required in terms of both ancient common law and more modern Acts of parliament. Land cannot be bought or sold simply by way of an agreement between a buyer and a seller, at least if the parties want the transaction to be recognised by a South African court. Instead that transaction - once it has been concluded by the buyer and the seller - has to be processed by a specialised lawyer, known as a conveyancer. The land parcel to be bought or sold also has to have been surveyed at some point by a registered land surveyor. The seller also has to have settled any outstanding municipal property rates that might be owed by him or her in respect of that land. Land, unlike most other commodities, cannot be used or disposed of by the people who own or hold it as they wish. A complex set of laws govern the way in which land may be used or developed. In the South African legal system some of these laws date back to Ancient Rome and have travelled over the centuries into our law via the laws of the Dutch province of Holland. Most of the laws governing use and development of land, however, are contained in Acts of parliament, provincial laws or municipal bye-laws that were enacted to implement town planning and environmental protection.
Secondly, urban land in South Africa has a number of unique features. Historically, urban land in South Africa was racially zoned, with different types of land tenure arrangements in place depending on which race zone a particular piece of land fell into. This historical legacy continues to shape the way in which urban land is seen and governed by all three spheres of government as well as the private sector. Also part of this historical legacy has been the after-effects of 'influx control' measures, which for many years under colonialism and apartheid sought to restrict access of any sort by black African people to urban land. With the demise of racial zoning and influx control and the subsequent provision of fully subsidised housing by the State, a new pattern of behaviour has emerged in relation to urban land. The supply of urban land - by the State, through the formal procedures described above - has failed to match the demands of a rapidly urbanising society. Consequently the urban land market has largely split into two parts. One operates largely in the formal manner, and limits participation to those people who are able (and willing) to cross the considerable legal, bureaucratic and financial barriers to entry that the law prescribes. Inevitably these are the better-off people. Inevitably too their assets, acquired in this manner, enjoy a high level of legal protection. Consequently they tend to hold their value, within the context of market fluctuations. The other part of the urban land market operates among those people and businesses that are unable or unwilling to cross the barriers to entry presented by the formal market. This doesn't stop them buying or selling or otherwise transacting with urban land, but it does mean that they do so under different sets of rules. Their urban land assets also don't enjoy the level of legal protection afforded by the formal system. They are able to transact much more easily but the value of their assets is much more precarious.
When we look at the different ways in which the State governs the asset - or resource - of urban land as well as the market transactions carried out in relation to it, we can identify the various ways in which the State's activities affect the supply and demand for urban land, and so the price. The State cannot determine a price. Nor, for that matter, can the private sector. Prices are reached through the particular balance, at a point in time, between supply and demand. The State however, through the numerous powers at its disposal, can influence both supply and demand for urban land, and so can also influence prices. Urban LandMark aims to demonstrate how the State - local, provincial and national - can change the way it exercises these powers in ways that make the urban land market work better for the poor. The three types of such State power that Urban LandMark will be targeting are:
Over the next two years, Urban LandMark will be exploring how the State can make immediate changes to the exercise of these powers in order to achieve greater access to and more secure tenure for poor households and businesses in the urban land market. Clearly, each of the different aspects of governance described here has a different potential impact on the market - some are able to influence either supply or demand more directly or more dramatically. What Urban LandMark has determined though is that in all three areas, South Africa as a country is not realising the possible benefits that could be obtained for a pro-poor urban land market. Through this newsletter we will keep you up to date on progress.
An example: the draft Land Use Management Bill
Since 2001 the national government has worked on the formulation of a national Land Use Management Bill (LUMB). In 2008 the draft bill was dropped by the House of Assembly after a series of hearings before the Portfolio Committee for Land & Agriculture. The process leading up to the abandonment of that draft of the bill had been long and difficult for all stakeholders. Hanging over the entire process had been the underlying problem that it is not unambiguously clear which sphere of government has the constitutional competence to make laws dealing with land use and spatial planning.
However, that difficulty aside, from Urban LandMark's vantage point the overriding weakness in the draft bill was that it failed in any way to address - or even acknowledge - the impact that any law of this sort has on the land market. The supply of rights to use and develop land is directly determined by the legal processes created in terms of planning laws. Each time a farm is rezoned and subdivided for urban development the supply of urban land is increased. Each time a planning authority declines an application to develop such a farm, the supply of land is effectively constrained. In both cases there is a direct impact on land prices, and so on the extent to which poor people are able to access urban land. Each time an 'urban edge' is established around a town or city in terms of an Integrated Development Plan, the supply of urban land is immediately curtailed and, in the absence of a simultaneous increase of development rights within the urban area (for instance through densification) the overall price of land in that town or city goes up. Existing land owners within the urban area benefit from rising land values and those who do not hold such land are less able to access it. These two examples show how decisions which may well be well-motivated in 'planning' terms have a negative impact on poorer people's access to land. In both cases it is quite possible to mitigate those negative impacts but if the law does not require such mitigation it's highly unlikely to happen.
Another illustration of the way in which the application of planning laws affects urban land markets relates to the rules contained in such laws governing compensation to land owners whose land values might have dropped as a result of a planning decision. In South Africa these rules tend to protect the landowners very effectively, with the result that the rezoning and development of land for low-income housing on well-located land inevitably fails as a result of protest and objection from surrounding land-owners who claim that this development will lower their land values. For Urban LandMark it is essential that new laws are made that clarify unambiguously that nobody's land value is a right. The value of land is determined by the balance between supply and demand for that land, within a market that is highly regulated. Historically that regulation has been directed towards the protection of values enjoyed only by a privileged few. Now and in the future we need to redirect the purpose of that regulation so that it achieves outcomes that rather enable people excluded from that market altogether to enter it.
In relation to these possible market outcomes of land-use management regulation, the 2008 draft of the LUMB is silent. It effectively provides no concrete or binding pressure on decision-makers to ensure that the outcome of their planning decisions positively affect poor people's access to urban land. Indeed, at the parliamentary hearings when Urban LandMark raised these concerns, the Department of Land Affairs' officials replied that they could not adopt such an approach as then 'they'd have the anti-Expropriation Bill lobby on their backs'. For Urban LandMark it is essential that we build the arguments to refute the protestations of that lobby. It is precisely the dominant position - entrenched by the current laws - that makes the urban land market work so badly for the poor. Urban LandMark will therefore be working under its 'governance' theme to ensure that new planning laws have a directly pro-poor impact on urban land markets. We are now providing both technical and financial support to the inter-ministerial reference group, coordinated by the Presidency, which is tasked to guide the drafting of a new, more effective, legally stronger and more pro-poor national land-use management law.

Koncz: Pacquiao Could Face Bradley, Alvarado - Overseas
By Rick Reeno
One thing is for sure, according to adviser Michael Koncz, we are going to see eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38KOs) return in the month of September - and the fight will NOT take place in the United States.
Koncz tells BoxingScene.com that Pacquiao's position is very firm - he refuses to stage his next fight in the United States due to the high taxes.
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum is willing to stage Pacquiao's next outing in Macao or potentially Singapore - but the veteran promoter is fearful that staging the event overseas will potentially damage the HBO Pay-Per-View buyrate.
Koncz agrees with Arum, but not completely. He realizes the pay-per-view will be affected by holding the card overseas - but he disagrees with Arum's fear of a major slice being lost in terms of the buys.
"It's going to be overseas. It is not going to be here - we're adamant on that. I think we're going to lose some pay-per-view buys, but I don't agree with Bob that we're going to lose half of it. I think maybe 20% [will be lost], but I think if we do the fight on the time slot for HBO Pay-Per-View - people will still watch the fight," Koncz told BoxingScene.com.
During recent interviews, Juan Manuel Marquez has brushed off the idea of a fifth fight with Pacquiao. Marquez claims he is "not interested" and there is "no reason" to stage another fight with his Filipino rival.
No problem, says Koncz. There are other potential options being explored - including WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (30-0, 12KOs), who won a controversial decision over Pacquiao last June. Newly crowned WBO interim-140-pound champion Mike Alvarado is another option.
"[Timothy] Bradley had a very good showing his last fight out, and maybe [Mike] Alvarado, and there are some other guys out there. We haven't really sat down to finalize an opponent, because we're still working on the venue," Koncz said.
Because of HBO's recent split with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his close business partner Golden Boy Promotions - the idea of a Pacquiao-Mayweather super-fight is now being completely ruled out for the moment. Mayweather, and the Golden Boy stable, are now exclusively appearing on HBO's network rival Showtime.
Koncz doesn't have all of the internal facts, but he agrees with HBO's decision to cut their business ties with Golden Boy - because he believes Golden Boy steered all of their big names, including Mayweather, to Showtime.
"I don't know what happened internally, but I think they did the right thing. They took a stand, they sent a strong message and I just think they did the right thing," Koncz said.

UPDATE: The video was restored on October 8. We thank YouTube for its willingness to restore the video so promptly.
With just weeks to go before Ohio votes on its next governor, the contest has devolved into a copyright squabble that is keeping a political video off YouTube on the basis of a bogus copyright claim.
A couple of days ago, Congressman John Kasich put out a commercial that featured a man dressed as a steelworker discussing Governor Ted Strickland's record. It turns out that the steelworker depicted in the commercial wasn't an actual steelworker, but paid actor Chip Redden.
Continued good news in the fight to bust bad software patents: the Patent Office has issued an encouraging office action in the reexamination of the C2 patent, one of EFF's "Most Wanted" patents. The C2 patent claims to cover a "Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System," broad enough to essentially wholesale claim using the Internet to call someone's phone.
Senator Patrick Leahy yesterday introduced the "Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act" (COICA). This flawed bill would allow the Attorney General and the Department of Justice to break the Internet one domain at a time — by requiring domain registrars/registries, ISPs, DNS providers, and others to block Internet users from reaching certain websites. The bill would also create two Internet blacklists. The first is a list of all the websites hit with a censorship court order from the Attorney General.
Copyright trolls are nothing new, and Righthaven is just the latest group of lawyers to try to turn copyright litigation into a business model. What these lawyers have in common is that they seek to take advantage of copyright's draconian damages in order to bully Internet users into forking over money. To anyone who has watched the file-sharing lawsuits of the last few years or the current BitTorrent cases brought by a DC law firm, the Righthaven saga is developing into a familiar, unfortunate story. It also has some especially troubling twists.
Music lovers take note: the classical music archive Musopen needs your help to liberate some classic symphonies from copyright entanglement. Museopen is looking to solve a difficult problem: while symphonies written by Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius, and Tchaikovsky are in the public domain, many modern arrangements and sound recordings of those works are copyrighted. That means that even after purchasing a CD or collection of MP3s of this music, you may not be able to freely exercise all the rights you'd associate with works in the public domain, like sharing the music using a peer-to-peer network or using the music in a film project.

Federal agency chief information officers are chasing down IT cost savings in many different ways this year, while coping with flat and possibly declining IT budgets, speakers said at the TechAmerica Federal CIO Survey Conference on May 3.
Simon Szykman, CIO at the Commerce Department, shared some successful strategies he's used to reduce IT expenditures at his department, something he's been able to do even though "I only control about 1 percent of the IT budget. The other 99 percent is controlled at the program level," he said.
Szykman said he initially went after easy wins, saving money by consolidating 100 separate contracts for personal computers into a single contract.
"Today, we have a single contract, with significantly better pricing," he said.
He is considering similar consolidations of contracts for things like purchasing Adobe products, endpoint security and networking gear.
Another avenue for possible savings is consolidation of Help Desk services, starting with Commerce headquarters, where there are six bureaus and six help desks, Szykman said. A help desk consolidation already is underway at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Another example of shared services at Commerce is that the census bureau is now sharing its data center with another bureau, which moved from commercial space and achieved substantial savings for doing so, he said.
Roger Baker, CIO at the Veterans Affairs Department, said his approach is to minimize IT infrastructure costs, while trying to maximize investments in new IT products as much as possible.
At the VA, with so many legacy systems requiring ongoing maintenance, the infrastructure budget would grow ever larger if conscious efforts are not made to reduce it, Baker said.
"If we do not constrain infrastructure cost growth, there will not be any dollars left for investment," he said.
The department has about 50 cost-cutting projects underway, including "rightsizing" enterprise software licenses and moving printers from the desktop to the network. A printer costs about four times as much to operate on a desktop as on a network, he said.
Investment in improving business systems, including top-priority projects such as electronic health records and the paperless benefits system, will pay dividends in the future, Baker said.
"We spend thousands of millions to save tens of billions," Baker said. The IT investments generate a return of about 10 to 20 times their initial value, he added.
One of the most difficult aspects of managing a $3.5 billion IT budget is that it is hard to attract top talent while paying salaries much lower than what the IT managers could earn in the private sector, Baker said.
"In my view, we are being penny-wise and pound-foolish," he said.

Definition of vagary
: an erratic, unpredictable, or extravagant manifestation, action, or notion
Examples of vagary in a sentence
<the vagaries of a rather eccentric, elderly lady>
Did You Know?
In the 16th century, if you "made a vagary" you took a wandering journey, or you figuratively wandered from a correct path by committing some minor offence. If you spoke or wrote vagaries, you wandered from a main subject. These senses hadn't strayed far from their origin, as vagary is probably based on Latin vagari, meaning "to wander." Indeed, in the 16th and 17th centuries there was even an English verb vagary that meant "to wander." Nowadays, the noun vagary is mostly used in its plural form, and vagaries have more to do with unpredictability than with wandering.
Origin and Etymology of vagary
probably from Latin vagari to wander, from vagus wandering
First Known Use: 1579

La grandeza mexicana, ( Spanish: "The Grandeur of Mexico") epistolary poem by Bernardo de Balbuena, published in 1604. One of the first examples of a poem in the Baroque style to be written in the Spanish New World, it is an elaborate description of Mexico City. In an introductory octave and nine chapters of terza rima verse, the poem celebrates the culture of the city and its people. The first edition included the "Compendio apologético en alabanza de la poesía" ("Apologetic Compendium in Praise of Poetry"), a treatise on poetics in which Balbuena states his belief that poetry should be a kind of process of defamiliarization achieved through such techniques as describing the commonplace in uncommon terms.

The problem isn't really the textbooks---the books themselves are often relatively cheap (for example, a 9th edition of Sullivan's Precalculus can be had for $30 or $40 if you don't mind being an edition out of date). The problem is that students are also required to buy access to the publisher's website in order to do their homework. One alternative is to hire advanced undergraduates to grade papers, or (better yet) hire more expensive graduate students, or even (heaven forbid) tenure track lecturers to teach smaller sections and/or grade papers. There is basically no money to do that, so it isn't going to happen. Another alternative is to use something like MAA's WeBWorK for homework. This might be quite feasible in the future as WeBWorK is improved (or another, better free, open source system comes along), and my department is doing as much as it can via WeBWorK, but the system is still not all there---there are simply things that, as bad as it is, MathXL can do much better than WeBWorK.
This might be evidence of my own lack of creativity, but I just don't see many other alternatives, and none of them are going to be any cheaper at the end of the day.
*Mathematics* isn't science. It is more properly a branch of philosophy that happens to be really, really useful for the sciences. The difference is that sciences are empirical---ideally, scientists observe the world, form explanations of their observations, then test those explanations with further observations. Mathematics is not empirical---mathematicians start from a set of fundamental assumptions, then use logic to deduce the consequences of those assumptions.
From the summary, it seems that the criticism is that economists are behaving more like mathematicians than like scientists---that is, they are making assumptions about how the world works, then using logic to determine the consequences of those assumptions. Instead, they should be making observations, then using the tools of mathematics analyze data taken from the real world and test their explanations.
I don't know about that. A couple of back-of-the-envelope computations make me think that 10 years is not a long enough timeframe to make such a camera anywhere near common. Consider, for instance, the 3 ton weight. Suppose that technology develops such that an equivalent sensor halves in weight every year. Ten years then represents halving the weight 10 times, giving a weight of approximately 6 lbs. That definitely isn't iPhone weight, and comes from a pretty optimistic assumption about how quickly the technology will develop. The computation, for completeness: (3 tons) / 2^10) ~= 5.9 lbs
Or we could look at pixel counts. The summary claims that the camera will capture 3.2 gigapixel images. Apple claims that the iPhone 6 has a 8 mega pixel camera. So the telescope camera will capture 400 times as much data. Assuming that the iPhone camera doubles its pixel count every year, it would take almost 9 years to get to 3.2 gigapixels. Even if we assume that the iPhone is used to take panoramas, where a panorama can have up to about 2^3 the pixel count of a non-panorama (again, see Apple's claims), this represents 6 years of doubling every year, which is, again, pretty optimistic.
Long story short: yes, technology marches forward, but this is likely to be a pretty impressive instrument even 10-15 years in the future.
It can be difficult to tell the difference between rocks that have been modified by people and rocks that have been shaped by natural processes. That being said, there are things to look for.
First is material. From the photographs in the linked article, it appears that the purported tool is made from some kind of fine-grained silicious material (high in silicon, rather than magnesium and iron, as evidenced by the color), whereas the surrounding rock appears to be basalt (mafic, therefor darker in color). If you work in an area, you get to know the geology of the region, and where rocks come from. Seeing rocks far from their sources often indicates human curation. That being said, it seems unlikely to me that anyone would bother to curate a general tool like the ones photographed, so that probably isn't going to be a huge factor in this case.
Second, after seeing hundreds or thousands of stone tools, you get good at identifying them. It is kind of like chicken sexing---it may be difficult to quantify *exactly* why something is a tool, but people get really good at it, none the less. Again, this isn't the whole story, but it gives you an idea about why one might pick up a rock in the field. People who have a lot of experience and training are more likely to recognize potential tools.
Third, there are morphological indications of human modification. Rocks that fall and break naturally tend to have random patterns of flaking, whereas intentionally modified rocks will show flaking that is concentrated in a particular place. This isn't foolproof (indeed, there were purported pre-Clovis tools found in California a few decades ago that, upon closer examination, turned out to be naturally formed), but, again, it is an indication.
Fourth, it is often possible to tell a tool from other contextual clues: is it near a hearth? a pile of animal bones? other easily identified tools? Again, given the age, this is unlikely to be useful in this context, but you asked a more general question, so this is part of a more general answer.
Finally, there are lab tests that can help. One can check for residue (i.e. blood or plant reside that might indicate use in preparing food), or microflaking that might indicate use, for example. These are things that you can't see in the field, and almost certainly can't see in a photograph that was taken in the field.
Pause for storage relocation.

Milk alternative?

If I'm going with milk straight up to drink, I go with chocolate almond milk as a treat. For coffee, I use coconut milk creamer. For baking I use rice milk or almond milk.
My DD drinks flaxmilk and hempmilk.

OP - I just went dairy free a few weeks ago, and also LOVE milk. I haven't attempted to find a sub to just DRINK, but I have found an acceptable sub for most other things!
Vegan butter (this was easy to find, but it's really really hard to spread. I'll take the trade off for a butter alternative though)
French Vanilla Coconut Milk Creamer for my coffee (I used to use the Internat. Delight French Vanilla creamer)....it's not quite as good, but it's totally acceptable to me.
I am a VERY big cereal for breakfast eater. I found that the original "Rice Dream" rice milk tastes pretty much EXACTLY like milk to me when I have it with my cereal!
I found rice cheese in several cheese flavors. Taste is okay, but the consistency is a bit off.
I'm also avoiding obvoius soy products for the same reason. Although I'm not reading ingredients on labels (for either dairy or soy) and so far my son seems to be doing okay with only removing the obvious. Every once in a while we get a random bloody stool, so I'm thinking I might accidentaly be consuming some obvious dairy sources (forgetting maybe? Not sure), so I'm going to start a food journal to see what's going on there, but overall I'm happy with our current results! =)

I adore milk, and it was the hardest food for me to cut out of my diet.
I have rice milk or almond milk in cereal and smoothies. Coconut creamer in my peppermint tea and oatmeal. Enjoy Life "chocolate" bars (made with rice) -- these are awesome! Coconut milk ice cream and ice cream bars. Cultured coconut milk (which is like yogurt and contains probiotics) -- I have this with fruit, or the plain flavor makes a reasonable sour cream alternative with potatoes or making dip. Garlic hummus works well as an alternative spread for chicken wraps. I use marinara instead of milk-based sauces on my rice pasta (though I've heard that you can make sauces from plant milks, I just haven't tried it yet). I haven't found a cheese or butter alternative that I like yet, so I'm eating a lot of foods differently, but I pile on the fresh fruits and veggies, so I have plenty of flavor in my foods. :)

AUGUSTA, Ga.---Garrette Brown is in jail, charged with armed robbery and having a knife during the commission of a crime.
Investigators say he robbed the Lotto Express on 13th Street last night at around 9:45, but he didn't get away because a deputy on patrol saw the man robbing the store.
The deputy chased Brown, caught him, then arrested him.
Brown was caught with a knife, ski mask, and money deputies say was taken from the store.
Brown had previously served 15 years for armed robbery. He was released in 2005.

We are looking for a store locator plugin that can do three things:
1. Show stores as markers on a Google map centered around location defined through a user zipcode or address
2. Have a default location setting so we can create pre-defined searches on static pages
3. Display information (name, address, distance etc) about stores/locations separately on the page
Item 3 is not critical but a nice-to-have.
An example of the functionality we are looking for is here
We have tested Store Locator LE and two standard Google Maps plugins but none of them appear to have this functionality.
Can anyone suggest alternative solutions?

I wanted to let everyone know that I had an extremely difficult time with Bioware Support. Bioware (Star Wars) delayed the process weeks. I think people need to be cautious posting information on here. It looks like Bioware maybe reading these reports. It's very strange because it sounded like they knew in detail this complaint and it took me a while to get around that I wasn't selling my account. The thing that makes me believe they knew I posted here was that they mentioned actual quotes I posted in this complaint. I have no clue how but came very close to losing my account.
Gamewar on the other hand didn't actually do anything wrong as the reported the account locked multiple times to me which I thought they were toying with me when in reality it really ended up being locked. This happened AFTER I removed the security token.
Overall, a gigantic mess this transaction was and I can't fault gamewar when Bioware was the one who delayed this entire process. I wish I could retract what I said on here but you can't do it on this website apparently so now they look guilty when in reality this complaint should be about Bioware.
Also, for those selling, recommend you contact them on Facebook and give them time.
I did get my payment and I retract all my statements.

PBS was nominated in four categories at the 70th Golden Globe Awards Jan. 13, but only Dame Maggie Smith of Downton Abbey earned a win from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Smith won for Best Supporting Actress in a TV Series for the show's second season.
The awards, which celebrate both film and television, had also nominated Downton Abbey for Best Drama, while star Michelle Dockery had been nominated for Best Actress in a Drama. The Showtime series Homeland won in both categories. Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch had been nominated for Best Actor in a Miniseries or TV Movie, but lost to Kevin Costner for his work in History's Hatfields & McCoys.
Smith was not in attendance at the awards, which aired opposite the second episode of the latest season of Downton Abbey. Last year the program had competed, and won, in the category of Best Miniseries or TV Movie.

The 24-year old former FC Utrecht and Vitesse Arnhem player is set to arrive at Carrow Road on July 1. Norwich did not disclose the transfer fee but media reports put a figure of £8 million on the deal.
"Ricky's profile is a perfect fit for us - he's young, ambitious and a proven goalscorer," Norwich manager Chris Hughton told the Norwich website.
"He has an excellent goalscoring pedigree and he's a young man very keen to continue his personal progression and to play in England. He's already an exciting talent but he still has more development as a player ahead of him.
"I'm delighted we've been able to agree a deal with Sporting Lisbon and with Ricky and we look forward to welcoming him to the squad in July, once all of the paperwork gets sorted out."
Van Wolfswinkel, who has become Sporting's top striker having joined for 5.1 million euros from Utrecht in June 2011, has played once for the Netherlands.
Sporting are enduring one of the worst periods in their history, languishing 10th in the league, and the Dutchman is their top scorer with eight goals in the championship.
With the club's presidential election looming this weekend, the prospect of selling Van Wolfswinkel has angered candidates.
"Sporting should not have to sell players to pay salaries. We cannot accept that," Bruno de Carvalho, the front-runner in the polls to be the next president, told o Jogo daily this week.
Van Wolfswinkel has scored a total of 14 goals in all competitions for Sporting this season after 25 last term. He bagged 35 goals in 80 appearances in two seasons at Utrecht.
The striker started his career with Vitesse Arnhem having joined them as a youngster in 1999. He made his senior debut in 2008 and scored eight goals in 35 games for the club.

For some people, seeing Europe is a box to be checked off on their bucket list. But, at 11 years old, Rose Templeton can cross that off and move on to the next thing.
Rose was selected by People-to-People to be a student ambassador this summer. The only student from Shawnee to go, she traveled to Europe where she stayed in London for a week and Paris for a week. During her stays, she traveled the countries and was able to meet many different people.
During her stay in England she met a member of Parliament, saw Buckingham Palace and the London Eye, a large glass Ferris wheel that seated all of the 48 youths in her group.
After their stay in England, the group traveled overnight to France, stopping in Normandy for a day.
In Normandy the group visited the World War II memorial. From there they traveled to Paris where they saw Versailles, the Lourve, and Rose's personal favorite: the Eiffel Tour.
"We got in an elevator and it went sideways instead of up and down," she said. "And when we got up there we could see everything."
Rose encouraged anyone who had this kind of an opportunity to take it.
"It ended up being really fun and life changing," she said. "You make a lot of friends."

Hello, all. I'm using the three-column theme, Oulipo, and the left column isn't scrolling as the others are. Because the location of text there is set, some pages aren't visible, and therefore viewable, unless the reader has the browser in full-screen mode.
I read in the wp.com forums before I purchased a domain name that it could be because of the <div commands in the embedded Common License pics I use on each post. The recommondation was to remove the tags. In the HTML edit screen, I moved the pic location, which would logically have changed the "stop here" input and moved the l-column text into viewing range.
Unfortunately, my newbie logic failed. I changed the viewable posts to only 1 on the home page, another suggestion, and that failed to move the left column text into view range.
Is it a theme-related position lock that the left column never floats or am I not seeing something that I can do to fix it?

My mother used to make these, and this recipe is very like hers (she never added cheese, though--don't know why, because adding cheese sounds yummy). These are great slathered with butter. Thanks for submitting it.
I was disappointed with the results, unfortunately. Although the taste was good (how could it be not with our own recipe of mashed potatoes) the consistency was off. In the first batch fried, the outside skin was crisp but there wasn't enough structure to hold them together so they fell apart with the inside just uh.. mashed potatoes w/onion. The next batch, I incorporated more flour and a bit of baking powder and they turned out much better. The smaller they are made, the better! Use a tablespoon to plop the batter into the pan and you'll be much better off!
BUT... what a great way to use leftover mashed potatoes!
Great way to use left over mashed potatoes. I used both eggs but after looking at a few other recipes -- including my Grandma's, I noticed most stated to seperate the eggs. So I did that. Mix ingrediets with the yolks, then when you are ready to cook, whip room temperature egg whites to a peak and fold into the batter. This makes the pancakes light and fluffy. Otherwise great recipe!

ASUS Plans a 27-Inch, 144Hz, 4K, IPS Gaming Monitor
Subject: Displays | June 9, 2016 - 02:55 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: asus, 4k 144hz, ips
Well this will be an impressive set of features some day. People have been asking for high-refresh, 4K panels with good colors for quite a while. It was almost a running joke in some of our comments. Apparently, ASUS took it seriously, and they are looking to release a 144Hz, 4K, IPS Gaming monitor, and they had a prototype on the show floor at Computex 2016.
Image Credit: VR-Zone
Okay then. That checks off just about every box on the enthusiast wishlist, except maybe OLED (depending on whether the specific enthusiast loves its contrast or fears it color accuracy). Also, it is unclear whether they will support the FreeSync or G-Sync, but either could happen -- or both! Or neither.
We won't know until they make an official announcement... again, some day.
ASUS Announces Zenfone 3 Smartphone Family
Subject: Mobile | May 30, 2016 - 02:14 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: zenfone 3, snapdragon 820, Snapdragon 625, smartphone, ips, computex 2016, computex, asus, Android, AMOLED
The Zenfone 3 family has been officially announced, and ASUS has provided all of the details of these new Android smartphones from Computex 2016.
The Zenfone 3 family is comprised of three phones; the Zenfone 3, Zenfone 3 Deluxe, and the massive Zenfone 3 Ultra. The first of these is the standard Zenfone 3, which replaces the Zenfone 2 not only in number, but architecture. While the previous version was powered by an Intel SoC, this new Zenfone contains a conventional ARM-based SoC; the Snapdragon 625.
A 5.5-inch device with a FHD (1920x1080) IPS display protected by Gorilla Glass 4, the 7.69 mm thick Zenfone 3 also boasts a 16MP "PixelMaster" camera with OIS and "ultra-fast 0.03s instant focus" for clear photos. Other features include a sizable 4GB of RAM, a "5-magnet" speaker design and 24-bit/192kHz high-resolution audio support, and a 3000 mAh battery. The phone uses USB Type-C connectivity, and arrives with Android 6.0 with ZenUI 3.0.
Moving to the Zenfone 3 Deluxe, this higher-end model offers a slightly larger 5.7" FHD AMOLED display (rather than IPS), and adds Quick Charge 3.0 for the 3000 mAh, and USB 3.0 speed to the Type-C connector. The SoC powering the Deluxe is the biggest upgrade over the standard Zenfone 3, with the powerful Snapdragon 820 replacing the base model's Snapdragon 625.
If you enjoy a more tablet-like experience, the 6.8-inch (!) Zenfone 3 Ultra might be for you!
While still FHD at this tablet-like size, the rear camera on the Ultra is a big upgrade, with a 23MP PixelMaster Camera (via the Sony IMX318 sensor). The battery is also a big upgrade over the smaller phones, as the larger chassis allows a 4600 mAh capacity. The big question (pun intended) becomes, will people want to use a 6.8-inch smartphone? To which the answer must be, no, we will hold out for the 7+ inch phones! (Or not.)
As to pricing, the Zenfone 3 is nearly as aggressive as the previous version, with an MSRP of $249. The Deluxe version is priced much more like premium handset at $499, and the Ultra is just behind it at $479. Availablity has not been announced.
2016 will be the year of the display, such as the first ever QLED display, the Philips 276E6ADSS
Subject: Displays | March 15, 2016 - 05:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: quantum dots, philips, ips, epi, E-line 276E6ADSS
For a mere $300 you can see for yourself what the Quantum Dot displays we have been hearing rumours about for a few years now. It remains an IPS panel and offers an impressive 99% Adobe RGB, or more than 100% of the standard sRGB colour gamut but at a price far below many professional grade monitors. It delivers a brightness of 300 cd/m2 and a dynamic contrast ratio of 20,000,000. It is a 16:9, 1080p display with a response time of 5ms, perhaps not as impressive as the variable refresh rate or a 4K monitor but if accurate colour reproduction is what you need then this display will certainly be worth consideration.
Fremont, California – March 15, 2016 – Today EPI (North America brand license partner for Philips Monitors) announces the world's first quantum dot-based monitor (E-line 276E6ADSS) is now available in North America. The new 27-inch monitor delivers 99% Adobe RGB color - 50 percent more color than traditional LED displays - thanks to Color IQ™ technology from QD Vision. The new E6 is ideal for entertainment, gaming, professional photography and design. It combines Color IQ optics with full HD resolution, resulting in a professional quality display at the price of mainstream monitors. The Philips 27-inch Quantum Dot display is now available on Amazon for $299.
QD Vision's Color IQ™ solution uses an innovative new semiconductor technology called quantum dots to precisely and efficiently convert light, delivering bluer blues, greener greens and redder reds. The result — vibrant, dynamic, "you-gotta-see-it-to-believe-it" color.
Most of today's high-end monitors are capable of displaying only 95% of the Adobe RGB color gamut, while mainstream models are often limited to showing 70% of the Adobe spectrum. Using QD Vision's Color IQ solution, the Philips 27-inch Quantum Dot Display will deliver over 99% of the Adobe RGB spectrum - more than 100% of the standard sRGB color gamut - but at a fraction of the price of commercial displays.
The IPS-ADS display offers 1920 x 1080 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, 1000:1 static contrast, 5ms response time and 178°/178° viewing angles, making it possible to view the display from almost any angle. Unlike standard TN panels, IPS-ADS displays give you remarkably crisp images with vivid colors, making them ideal not only for photos, movies and web browsing, but also for professional applications that demand color accuracy and consistent brightness at all times. Ports include; VGA, DVI-D, HDMI (with MHL) and a 3.5mm audio output jack.
MWC 2016: LG Announces the G5 Smartphone
Subject: Mobile | February 21, 2016 - 02:52 PM | Sebastian Peak

LG has officially unveiled their newest flagship Android handset, and in addition to high-end specs the G5 features a unique modular construction.
The LG G5
The G5 is powered by the new Snapdragon 820 SoC, and offers a 5.3-inch, 2560x1440 IPS display (making slightly smaller than the earlier G4, which was a 5.5-inch device with the same resolution). And while the G5 looks every bit a sleek Android flagship, there's more going on here than the typical sealed handset. LG has implemented a modular design, where optional components can be added from a port on the bottom of the phone.
The LG Cam Plus (left) and Hi-Fi Plus (right)
The first of two announced modules is the LG Cam Plus, which is a camera grip that also adds 1200 mAh to the battery capacity (for a total of 4000 mAh). The second is the LG Hi-Fi Plus, which adds a high-resolution DAC and headphone amp to the phone. The headphone amp is "tuned by B&O", and the DAC supports up to 32-bit / 384 kHz. The Hi-Fi Plus can also be used as a standalone USB device.
(Image via Android Police)
One of the features that had leaked ahead of the announcement was an always-on display, leading to speculation about the use of an OLED panel. But this is LG we are talking about, and they have implemented a high-DPI (554) IPS display instead. So how does this always-on display feature avoid aggressively draining your battery? The post from ComputerBase offers this analysis:
"Instead, the company opted for an optimization of display drivers and power management in order to realize the permanent display of notifications, time, date and other information on the large main screen. The adjustments for example it is possible to limit the backlight to a part of the screen. According to LG, the activated always-on function consumes thanks to the optimizations per hour 0.8 percent of the battery charge."
Specs via Android Central:
- Display: 5.3-inch IPS quad-HD quantum display (2560x1440, 554 dpi)
- Processor: Snapdragon 820
- Storage: 32GB UFS ROM, microSD up to 2TB
- Rear camera: 16MP main, 8MP wide-angle (135 degrees)
- Front camera: 8MP
- Battery: 2800 mAh removable
- Modules: LG Cam Plus (camera grip with 1100 mAh), LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O Play
- Dimensions: 149.4 x 73.9 x 7.7mm
- Weight: 159 grams
- Networks: LTE/3G/2G
- Connectivity: Wifi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, USB Type C, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2
- Colors: Silver/Titan/Gold/Pink
- Operating system: Android 6.0.1
There were three additional accessories announced with the phone: The 360 VR (a VR headset) 360 CAM (for creating 360-degree movies and photos) and something called the Rolling Bot (a Wi-Fi connected sphere equipped with a camera, mic, and speaker).
Ryan had hands-on time with the G5 from LG's booth at MWC 2016:
No specific pricing or release date have been announced yet, but we should know more next month when LG is expected to provide more release details.

The Lenovo ideapad MIIX 310 is a 2-in-1 that combines a 10.1-inch tablet with a detachable keyboard, and when you consider the specs Lenovo is pricing this very aggressively at $229 - including the keyboard.

The $229 retail is a starting price, and the 1920x1080 IPS screen option will cost you more (just how much is not yet known). Beyond the display the MIIX 310 is powered by an Intel Atom x5-Z8300, a quad-core processor that operates at up to 1.84 GHz. Memory is limited to 2 GB, with up to 128 GB of eMMC storage available.

Acer's Predator X34; it's a 21:9 curved 1440p display with G-SYNC
Subject: Displays | February 15, 2016 - 03:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Predator X34, ips, gsync, curved lcd, acer, 1440p
On paper it looks brilliant, a 3440x1440 IPS curved display with a a refresh rate that can be overclocked to 100Hz, with G-SYNC handling the adaptive sync duties. It will cost you a bit to pick up of course, currently Amazon has it priced at $1350 so it does have a lot to live up to. Techgage tested it out and found a lot to love, from physical control buttons instead of virtual controls, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors as well as four USB 3.0 ports speak well of the physical design. On the other hand the monitor has a serious case of IPS glow and some may not be able to hit 100Hz, then again neither can most GPUs even when in SLI. Techgage offers advice on adjusting your display if you have issues and overall loved everything about the display ... excepting the price.
Ryan and the crew took a look at this display a while back.
"On the lookout for a gaming monitor that can do it all? If price isn't a concern, Acer's Predator X34 is the one to look at. It comes in at 34 inches, boasts a 3440×1440 ultra-wide resolution, makes images pop with an IPS panel, takes advantage of NVIDIA's G-SYNC frame-smoothing technology, and if that's not enough: it's curved."

CES 2016: Monoprice Announces 21:9 and 4K Displays

Tagged: ultra wide, monoprice, monitor, ips, display, CES 2016, CES, 4k, 21:9
Monoprice announced a pair on monitors today at CES, beginning with their new ultra-wide 21:9 display.
The monitor features a 3440 x 1440 IPS panel with a 75 Hz refresh rate, but the big story with this monitor is going to be cost, as Monoprice will be selling this for $499 – the lowest we've seen for a 3440 x 1440 by far. (LG is currently the only supplier of these curved 34-inch 3440x1440 IPS panels, so this should be the same panel found in similar monitors on the market.)
Monoprice also announced a new 27-inch 4K display at CES, and this USB-C monitor uses an LG IPS panel with 99% Adobe RGB color support. Also $499, the monitor offers 100 watt USB-C power delivery for device charging for laptops and other devices, as well as USB 3.0 connectivity. (The display was not available to photograph.)
It was a point of emphasis that Monoprice is only using A+ panels for these new monitors (which means they are the same grade as the big name brands), and the company really seems to be working to establish itself in the display space. Both of these monitors will be available in Q1 2016.

Lenovo has announced the Y900, a dedicated gaming machine which features the current high-end mobile CPUs and GPUs, as well as configurable overclocking.
Exact overclocking numbers are not yet available, but this will be controlled through software to allow users to select a higher performance level. The system can be configured with up to a quad-core 6th gen Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M, and up to a massive 64 GB of DD4 memory - though with 4 SoDIMM slots it will be easy to upgrade the memory later.

Thrombin is a substance (enzyme) in the bloodstream that is needed
for blood to clot. When a person is cut or wounded, thrombin and a protein
called fibrinogen make a stringy material that traps blood cells and then
gradually decomposes as the area heals.
Only thrombin located at the area of the injury is activated, and
only for a few seconds. This process helps prevent a potentially dangerous

"When you go to the polls, vote for Medicare. Vote for President Barack Obama," Ms. Pelosi said. "When you go to the polls, vote for Social Security. Vote for President Barack Obama."

While Democrats focused on women and minorities on Tuesday night, Wednesday's big focus was on helping the struggling middle class.
