Does Gender Matter for Academic Promotion? Evidence from a Randomized Natural Experiment

Fedea working paper #2010-15
This paper studies how the gender composition of committees affects promotions. We exploit evidence from a large-scale randomized natural experiment: the system of centralized examinations to determine academic promotions that was implemented in Spain between 2002 and 2006. These competitions involved around 30,000 candidacies and 7,000 (randomly selected) evaluators. In exams to full professor positions, we find that evaluators tend to favor same-sex candidates who belong to their own academic network. This evidence is consistent with the existence of "old boys" and "old girls" networks. In exams to associate professor positions, senior evaluators do not exhibit any gender preference. Female junior evaluators exhibit an opposite-sex preference when assessing candidates from their own institution, perhaps for strategic reasons. Our results suggest that gender quotas may not necessarily increase female representation. Their effect will depend on the extent to which academic networks are gendered, evaluators' strategic concerns, and the position at stake.

The popularity of this new pastime among children has increased rapidly. This new invader of the privacy of the home has brought many a disturbing influence in its wake. Parents have become aware of a puzzling change in the behavior of their children. They are bewildered by a host of new problems, and find themselves unprepared, frightened, and helpless."1 Azriel Eisenberg wrote these words in an article in the American Journal of Psychiatry. The year was 1936 and the title of the article was "Children and Radio Programs." It could have been written today about children and the Internet. There is no doubt that the accelerating pace of technology has yet again dramatically changed the experience of American childhood. Most adults are both proud of and befuddled by their children's technological savvy. Ten years ago, we joked that we needed our children to help us program our VCRs, but our children have long since moved on to more sophisticated endeavors. The other day, a colleague shared that her 12-year-old son used the global positioning system in the family car to play MP3s. Don't ask me (or her) how he did this. The generational gap in amount of technological savvy leaves many parents flummoxed when it comes to understanding what their children are doing and, more important, how to deal with it. Sometimes this parental ignorance gives way to anxiety and paranoia. Other times it yields to benign neglect. I have parents in my clinic who will not allow their children online at all and those who blithely give their children unfettered access in the privacy of their rooms. Every child is different of course, and to some extent these variations may reflect appropriate boundary setting, but given parental cluelessness, one cannot help but wonder how well informed their decisions are.

Get on Gunbroker.com and search for a couple. That will give you an idea of what they sell for on a national basis. Prices vary a little regionally.
Offhand, it sounds like a fair price, assuming it's in good to excellent condition.
September 23, 2011, 11:35 PM
That's what the Ballard-rifled later models have been going for around here in very good to excellent condition with the checkered stocks. The Cowboy models with the longer barrels bring that as a minimum. The older micro-groove models in very good shape go for $400 or so.
Save yourself some grief and take some ammo with you. Load up the mag and see if it cycles well. Some Marlins have issues in that department.
September 24, 2011, 12:12 AM
What does this have to do with reloading?
September 24, 2011, 01:20 AM
Well, he's going to reload it to check cycle on it, ain't he?
Anyways, what the other guys said.
September 24, 2011, 08:28 AM
thank for the info guys.
September 24, 2011, 03:10 PM
Well I bought it! it was in good shape cycled good felt good holding it not to heavy the 450 covers tax.
September 24, 2011, 06:33 PM
Since it in great shape, I think you did well.
September 24, 2011, 06:37 PM
Thanks alot Walkalong
September 24, 2011, 11:11 PM
Fun rifles. Can be very accurate too.
September 25, 2011, 01:30 AM
I looked high and low for a marlin .357 1894c, and have talked to many in the same boat. I assume the .44mag would also be a little difficult to come by. I think 450 is a good price for a good condition rifle.
They just shoot so well nobody wants to part with them! I shoot .38's in mine and it's like shooting a .22. I hope you enjoy your .44! If I fall into one in .44 I know i'l snatch it up!
September 25, 2011, 01:44 AM
By the way....the screw that hold the loading gate on my works it's way loose every now and again, so you may want to keep an eye on that. It's not like every other shot or anything, tends to happen after 2 or 300 rounds.
September 25, 2011, 08:14 AM
I'l keep an eye on it shiftyer1 thanks.
September 25, 2011, 01:45 PM
Well I bought it!
Congrats but you're holding out on us. Show us a picture...:cool:
What load/bullet you gonna load for it?
September 25, 2011, 02:11 PM
Well, to keep this a reloading thread, I load Ranch Dog 265 gr. RNFP for my .44 Magnum lever. Alox lubed and sized .432" for my Puma, and .430" - 431" for my revolvers. A bit over 16.0 gr. of Bluedot works well in my 20" Puma...
September 25, 2011, 03:06 PM
Well Seedtick I know I am but I gave half down to pay the rest next week then I will post the pick.And Mdi this is what I will use 240 gr. hard cast lead swc and alliant 2400,I hear that between 180 and 240 is the ideal bullet weight for a .44 mag.
September 25, 2011, 05:01 PM
Okay Jack, just don't forget us.
I like 2400. I don't shoot 44's but my son-in-law does. I use it in .357 and 45 Colt. Me and Jeremy picked up an 8 pound jug each on our last Powder Valley order. He has recently taking a liking to H110 and is fixing to get a big jug of that as well.
You're gonna have lotsa fun with that new toy I betcha....
September 26, 2011, 12:06 PM
Jack44, Marlin 1894's have trouble cycling SWC. I would look for a rounded or flatpoint with no shoulder for your rifle.
September 27, 2011, 04:51 PM
Thanks for the info birdshot8's and I'l post the pic late Sat.afternoon Seedtick.
October 1, 2011, 02:13 PM
Paid the guy the remaining money did the check and after awhile I found out I was DENIDE!!! when I filled out the foarm I did not put my SS# and I think that was the problem so no rifle till Oct 6th: I was gonna put up a pic but I cant and that sucks!.:mad:
October 1, 2011, 02:22 PM
Bummer. Could have been anything.
You do not have to put your SS # on the form. It is optional. I always do, but some folks do not.
Did I read it right that you filled it out again with the SS and it went through?
October 1, 2011, 02:39 PM
no- I dont like to put my SS# on anything if not needed so he said I could pick it up Oct 6th but I work so I have to pick it up next Sat.He said it could be anything like a common last name.
October 1, 2011, 03:01 PM
I was DENIDE!!! too on the few gun purchases I tried to make during the year after my CHL expired and the time I renewed it.:mad:
I wound up getting the guns however about a week after I filled out each foarm.
I'm gonna start a thread about reloading in the rifle forum section to make up for this one.:)
October 2, 2011, 09:39 AM
You can be denied or delayed for any little thing. I used to get delayed every time years ago, but then it quit happening. Who knows why. :)
October 2, 2011, 02:40 PM
never had it before but it's just a little speed bump along the way there NOTHING in my background that could stop me it's just a PAIN!
October 2, 2011, 02:51 PM
It definitely bites. Looking forward to the pics.
I miss my Winchester 94 in .44 Mag sometimes. I gave it to my elder son. :)
October 2, 2011, 07:03 PM
Congrats on the new gun Jack, I'm sure you will love it. I have a 1894 chambered in 357 mag and it's one of my favorite guns. It is very accurate.
October 3, 2011, 06:17 PM
Today at work he called and told me that I was APPROVED! so I was able to take it home.Now I have to find a plug to charge my camara so I can post a pic. I found out it was made in 77.
October 3, 2011, 11:01 PM
I'm looking to score a 44mag also. When I get home I'm going to hit the buy button for a 45c R92.

Just picked up a 20 incher, ballard rifling Marlin (not Rem) manufactured for $420, before tax. Rarley see them anymore, but have seen some recently maufactured Rem-Marlins, and they looked really poor. It joins a 44 mag 16 inch ported Marlin, and 16 in Win Trapper.
Who knows what Marlin-Rem will even be making next year.

Dialogue 2001 site
Proceedings of the
International Symposium
Ahmad Jalali
While examining the agenda and the names and disciplines of the participants at this symposium, I found that UNESCO was offering a unique opportunity, bringing together representatives of all walks of academia to deal with topics chosen on purely intellectual criteria demanding a depth of learning. For this reason, I think that this would be a good place to expand on what was approved during the 31st General Conference, it being particularly relevant to this symposium.
We approved the theme of dialogue among cultures and civilizations as one of the strategic objectives of UNESCO's Medium-Term Strategy. During our Conference, especially after the events of 11 September 2001, we came to the realization that dialogue among cultures and civilizations is not merely an intellectual dream, but a real necessity. It is unavoidable; indeed, perhaps it represents the only choice.
The other fruit of our General Conference was the approval of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity, which also provides us with a useful platform to discuss how we can preserve this aspect of our world's beauty. As we enjoy diversity in nature, so we should enjoy diversity in our cultures.
The splendid topic that you have suggested for your gathering, 'How we see others, how others see us', brings to mind two interpretations of dialogue among cultures and civilizations. One – if I may so call it – is the 'historical or descriptive' interpretation; the other is the 'imperative or prescriptive' one.
According to the historical interpretation, dialogue among civilizations is nothing totally new but rather an ever-present process. Civilizations have always engaged in dialogue with each other and even the bloodiest wars and hostilities have never completely prevented this. If we look at the problem from this point of view in order to examine the question of 'how we see others and how others see us', we have to conduct a survey of the means and methods of dialogue among civilizations throughout history. This task necessitates at least two essential methodological changes, the first of which concerns our approach to history. History has been seen, and often still is, as an inventory of antagonisms and wars, and unfortunately this aspect has been given most prominence. In order to look at history from a more constructive vantage point, the first methodological change requires a shift of access from conflict to dialogue, to search in history for those elements that encouraged dialogue and to attempt to rewrite history taking them into account. It goes without saying that this change of approach should not blind us to the more brutal facts of history. The second methodological change is that from an ethnocentric concept of culture and civilization to a concept in which sharing and 'give and take' occupy the foreground.
In the ethnocentric view of the development of cultures and civilizations, these are both supposed to grow in a more or less closed environment, limited by national or ethnic boundaries. External interventions and, above all, wars and invasions undermine their organic growth and place their very existence in danger. It is true that the metaphor of 'civilization as an organic whole' has a certain advantage. By comparing civilization to a living body, we seem to underline its relation to its environment. However, what is usually implied by this metaphor is the relation of interdependence between internal elements of a culture or civilization rather than their dependence on their environment.
Our problem is thus to define cultures and civilizations as open systems in such a way that transfer, exchange, 'give and take' and dialogue enter into their very definition.
However, how can we hope for fruitful dialogue among the different cultures of today if we do not possess a more or less clear idea of how this kind of dialogue has been conducted in the past? I can see a number of topics on the agenda that will address this point.
The two interpretations of the concept of dialogue among cultures and civilizations are thus inextricably related. On the one hand, if we are not well informed about past experience, we cannot begin, or rather continue, this experience in the present. On the other hand, any research into the past is somehow limited by our perspective of the modern world and of the role that different civilizations play in its constitution.
Both concepts of dialogue among civilizations are thus interrelated. Moreover, both are intrinsically bound to the question of how we see others and how others see us. This relation is expressed through the role that culture and civilization play in composing our present identity. History presents us with ample evidence of how cultures have served as elements of solidarity within specific human groups and as differentiating factors between them. Moreover, it teaches us that neither the focal point around which identities are constituted, nor the frontier lines along which human groups are separated from each other, remain the same. Sometimes language has played this double role; in other societies the unifying and differentiating function was fulfilled by the written word. In the Middle Ages, this role was relegated to religion, and in modern times it has been taken up by the modern concept of 'nation'. The salient point is that despite these shifts of axis, each of these social entities is accompanied by a corresponding culture that acts as the cement of the society or social group, levelling out the differences existing inside it and highlighting the points that differentiate it from others.
Thus we have religious cultures, ethnic cultures and national cultures. Once more this point underlines the role of culture in how we see others and how others see us. To search for these shared points between the different cultures of today is an urgent task, a task that can be completed only by transcending existing cultural, national and ethnic barriers. It is in this way that we can overcome the ethnocentric concept of culture and history, and the monolithic concepts of identity and otherness that are almost its logical consequences.
We enjoyed listening to the speech of President Chirac on the occasion of the opening of our 31st General Conference, and he emphasized the point that dialogue between cultures needs to be conducted with open eyes and with humility, for arrogance is its worst enemy. He also raised some relevant questions: Have we kept faith with our own cultures and their underlying values? Has the West given the impression of imposing a dominant, essentially materialistic culture, a culture that the greater part of humanity feels to be aggressive, as all it can do is observe and rub shoulders with it without gaining access? Have some of our great cultural debates seemed ethnocentric, ignorant of social and spiritual realities elsewhere than in the West? How far can a civilization go in exporting its values? President Chirac then expanded this concept, stating that although each culture and civilization can be proud of its achievements it should also engage in self-criticism.
I am pleased to see that the topics on your agenda are very relevant to these main themes discussed during the last session of the General Conference, and UNESCO will continue to observe their impact throughout the coming biennium, within the framework of its Medium-Term Strategy.

Second-Time Luckyby Laurie Paige
For as long as foster dad Jeff Aquilon could remember, he'd viewed state social workers as one thing: the enemy. But that was before he'd met Caileen Hall, a woman who truly seemed to have his family's best interests at heart. Jeff had to admit that something about the pretty, passionate Caileen stirred "his" interest, too. Though single mom Caileen desperately wanted to help the Aquilons succeed, much to her daughter's chagrin, Caileen's strictly professional concern for Jeff soon mingled with feelings she hadn't encountered in years. But to make peace with her "own" family, would Caileen have to give up the love of her lifetime?

So, here I sit ... and wait
April 22, 2008 - LLee Janssen
Like anything government, there are moments of much excitement amid seas of silence. And so I wait. For the climactic moment ... who wins Pennsylvania in the pursuit of the Democratic nomination for president?
Nearly as big in my mind, who will the Republicans nominate for the state's 23rd Senate seat? and who will go on the ballot for the state's 83rd House district, or either of the two Congressional districts whose jurisdictional line meanders a crooked path through the middle of Lycoming County? And I wonder, does anybody else care?
Certain moments still stick in my mind from the two political forums the Sun-Gazette co-sponsored with Backyard Broadcasting, moderated by the Williamsport-Lycoming Chamber of Commerce, at the Community Arts Center. They are the moments when candidates didn't answer the question. It happened each night, and it said to me that these people don't know what they are getting themselves into, and taking the people of the respective districts with them.
It stands to reason that people who would lead would want to find solutions to the problems that drive tax-hungry political budgets.
So tonight I am anxious. Anxious about the outcome of more than just the presidency. We'll wait. And see.

When the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, the far left antiwar and anti-Israel movements quickly united to condemn the war and to accuse the "Israel lobby" of forcing the U.S. into it. Now that tensions with Iran are escalating, these movements have similarly sought to blame the "Israel lobby" for trying to force the U.S. to go to war against Iran.
In fact, some of the most virulent charges about the "Israel lobby's" role in pushing for a war against Iran come from the antiwar movement. Antiwar.com, a Web site that regularly posts articles criticizing the "Israel lobby," features articles written by individuals who are critical of U.S. foreign policy both on the left and right-wing ends of the spectrum, including Patrick Buchanan, Michael Scheuer, and Juan Cole, a history professor at University of Michigan and political blogger.
In several articles, the site's founder, Justin Raimondo, alleges that the "Israel lobby" is compelling the U.S. to wage war against Iran just like it did with Iraq. For example, in a November 2007 article that was also published on Press TV, the Iranian international news network, Raimondo wrote, "Beating the drums for war, the Israel lobby is pulling out all the stops, and this time they are out in the open about it. The fear that the Lobby would be too visible in promoting Israel's interests motivated them to keep a relatively low profile during the run-up to war with Iraq, but it isn't holding them back now." Similarly, in a January 2007 article on Antiwar.com Raimondo had warned that the "power of the Lobby is being mobilized, and not quietly" to convince the U.S. to start a war with Iran.
Several antiwar events have provided a platform to link the antiwar and anti-Israel movements and to accuse the "Israel lobby" of controlling U.S. foreign policy. At the National Antiwar assembly, a conference held in late June 2008 in Cleveland, a resolution was passed explicitly linking the antiwar and anti-Israel agendas. Prior to the conference, Mazin Qumsiyeh, an anti-Israel activist and co-founder of Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, had promoted the event as an opportunity to "support a principled stance that Palestine and the anti-war movement are one and the same" and to convince the antiwar coalition to "connect Palestinian oppression and Israeli militarism to the wars against Iraq and likely war on Iran."
Resolutions passed during the assembly that were drafted by the Connecticut-based Middle East Crisis Committee linked Palestine with the "broader antiwar struggle" and expressing strong opposition to any attack, intervention or sanctions against Iran.
Stanley Heller, chairman of the Middle East Crisis Committee, wrote an article about the conference that was published in CounterPunch in July 2008. In the article, titled "A Damned Good Assembly," Heller praised MECC for getting the Palestinian "cause" on the conference's agenda and noted that the MECC had also submitted language to the assembly criticizing the "Israel lobby's" alleged influence in the decision to go to war with Iraq, adding that "Israel looms large among millions of Christians and Jews" and that pro-Israel Americans were taking orders from right-wing "reactionaries" in Israel.
Another attempt to link the antiwar and anti-Israel movements occurred on August 2, 2008, when a loose network of antiwar activists called StopWarOnIran.org organized protests in opposition to a possible war against Iran in over 80 U.S. cities. Several anti-Israel groups, including Al-Awda and Adalah-NY, helped organize and sent representatives to the protests. A flier for the event included the outrageous allegation that Israel and the U.S., not Iran, are the real "nuclear dangers," and that U.S. tax dollars finance "Israeli repression of the Palestinians, to keep the area 'safe' for U.S. oil companies…Support the Palestinian people's right to return!"
At the New York protest held in Times Square, several anti-Israel signs were displayed, including: "End the Occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine;" "Free Palestine;" "Cut All Ties to Israel/Outlaw the Jewish Lobby/No More War/ Dump Israel/ Remember the U.S.S Liberty;" and Al-Awda's slogan, "Free Palestine From the River to the Sea," an outright rejection of Israel's right to exist.
Posters held at the StopWarOnIran.org event in Chicago's Thompson Center were even more troubling. At the rally, one anti-Israel sign on display read "Bush-Cheney: Keep your bloody hands off Iran" and included two pictures, one of a crossed-out Israeli flag that had droplets of blood on it, and another of a bloodied hand that had an Israeli flag in its palm. After the rally, participants marched to the Israeli Consulate in further protest of a possible Israeli military offensive against Iran.
The signs at these rallies, which advocated for an end to Israel's existence and alleged that Israel secretly manipulates U.S. policy, and the subsequent march to the Israeli consulate, are just several examples of the grotesque and offensive anti-Israel sentiment that has crept its way into the antiwar movement's mission to prevent a war against Iran.
Online efforts that hold Israel responsible for pushing for a war against Iran - such as StopWarOnIran's Web site and StopTheWarNow.net, which advocates ending aid to Israel as a means to a "Nuke-Free Mideast" - lend the anti-Israel protest movement an additional means to convey its views.

Project Title: Management of Forestry Resources
Investigator(s): Matt Yancey, John Munsell
Project Summary:
Most farms in Virginia contain woodlots or substantial forested acreage. Although most Virginia farmers are excellent managers of their crops and livestock, many fail to properly manage their forestry resources and as a result, do not fully reap the economic potential of those resources. On-going projects at the Shenandoah Valley AREC are examining how producers can properly manage their forestry resources in a sustainable manner and at the same time generate additional revenue to the farming operation. Projects include:

Hi guys,
I am a custom installer with experience with 8ohm speakers. I am currently doing a large outdoor speaker system and coincidentally we have just been contracted to design and install a huge outdoor venue so 70v is what i have to work with
For my outdoor system i had originally ordered 2 1160a amps. This all changed when my customers decided to add more speakers due to project changes and in ceiling sub woofers to the covered deck. I originally ordered a DBX 223 crossover but since the project has been delayed due to the hurricane i have more time to think over my original design.
1st zone)Covered Patio has a pair JBL Control19CS (without transformer) and 6 episode outdoor in ceiling speakers with transformers tapped at 8ohm and 20 watts each. I can use one CDI100 for 1st channel (70v speakers) and use the internal crossover 2nd channel for the sub woofers set at 4ohm correct? 16/2 for the speakers and 14/2 for the subwoofers both max run only 60 feet from rack
2nd zone) 1st channel of CDI1000 amp; Middle terrace. 4 Bose freespace 51's with inground weatherproof transformer 8 ohm set at 20 watts. 18/2 furthest speaker 150feet from rack
3rd zone) 2nd channel of CDI1000 amp; driving 8 bose freespace 51's with in ground weatherproof transformer 8ohm set at 20 watts. 18/2 furthest speaker 300 feet from rack
4th zone) Crown 180a 2 pendant speakers with transformer set at 8ohm 10 watts (i know overkill isnt it lol). 18/2 furthest speaker 210 feet from rack.
i would have used sonance's 70v solution throughout but my customer requested the outdoor speakers be blose
I have a DBX zone pro 640 to control the volume/sources controlled via RTI u2 outdoor remote. Should i use the DBX's internal equalizer to EQ the speakers or should i not bother and use the CDI series to EQ the speakers?
Also, this doesnt have to do with the systems but why are the 1160a and the CDI 1000's so close in price (dealer)? i dont understand, the CDI is so much more Robust and feature rich especially with the amount of power they can deliver. I didnt realize until a few days ago that they had the CDI series and can drive 70v systems. Otherwise i would have just used them in in the beginning.
for the venue i plan on using 6 CDi4000 series amps for a total of 12 channels
TIA! i really appreciate any input
CDI series/Crown/70v question

As far as I can tell, your setup looks fine.
The EQ can go either place. I believe the CDi has more total bands of PEQ than the 640, although you shouldn't need that many.
Good point about the 1160A vs the CDi1k. If you're using a home preamp or a Crown 14/28M, these units won't be able to push the CDi to full output.

Lessons Learned from a Refinancing Experience
|Email Print
This post was authored by a friend of mine, Melissa, who just recently went through the process of refinancing her adjustable rate mortgage loan. I asked her to write about it since I know a lot of people are probably going through this process as well (and I won't be going through this myself) and she was kind enough to oblige.
When I bought my house back in 2004 I didn't have a lot of options for loans. I had no money to put down on the house and a fairly limited credit history – I was happy just to be able to buy a house so long as I could get approved of a loan. Of the limited selection of loans available, I chose a 3/1 ARM program with an interest rate of 6.625%. While I wasn't crazy about an ARM, I told myself that if I decided to stay in this house for longer than 3 years then I would just refinance. Additionally, my loan had a 2 year soft prepayment penalty, so I had to reach the 2 year mark before I could even think about refinancing or else I would face a ridiculous penalty payment.
One of the first rules that I have heard with respect to refinancing is that it's generally not worthwhile unless you can drop at least 1% on your interest rate. Having an ARM that was going to readjust to over 8% by the fall and potentially higher after that, I knew that I was going to refinance regardless of what rate I could get. As luck would have it, however, the timing on my refinancing has worked out reasonably well. At the start of December, interest rates were at a 10 month low and I was able to get a rate of 5.75% with only half a point on the loan (a standard 30 year fixed rate loan). However, the lower interest rate comes with the cost of refinancing, which for me included around $1100 in fees to my lender ($1000 of which was for the 0.5 point rate buy down), $400 for the appraisal and $1200 in fees to the title company. Also included in the refinancing costs were payments for the escrow account to be set up with my new lender for taxes and hazard insurance. I don't really count these in closing costs because that's not really money "lost" like all the fees that are charged and shortly after refinancing, I received my old escrow balance from my previous lender anyhow. So all in all, I spent approximately $2700 to refinance to a point where I'm now saving $100/month over my previous mortgage payment. Since I plan on owning the house for at least two more years, this expense was worthwhile.
Looking back on the refinancing experience there are a few things that I learned along the way that are worth noting:
- In the state of Maryland (not sure about other states) you have 3 days after your settlement during which you can change your mind completely about refinancing. If you go through the whole refinance process on Monday you could change your mind Thursday afternoon and go right back to the refinancing drawing board.
- When you refinance your home your original title insurance policy does not cover your refinanced loan. In most cases you can get a reissue rate for your title insurance (roughly $200 savings for me) rather than have to pay the full initial price, but this still wound up being the most significant expense I had with the title company
- I mentioned this above, but it's worth noting again that your new lender will in most cases require you to pay money towards a new escrow account with them. In my situation, the lender escrowed 8 months worth of hazard insurance and 3 months worth of taxes (the number of months here depends on when your taxes and hazard insurance were last paid) at settlement. I was rolling all of my settlement costs into the cost of my loan, so this wasn't a huge concern to me, but for anyone wishing to pay closing costs up front, this is something to consider.
- Your previous lender is required to submit to you the money in your old escrow account within 30 days. Between this check and the fact that you skip a month of mortgage payments, this can be a nice boost to your bank account.
- There are different types of loans for refinancing. I won't pretend to know them all, but I went with a "rate and term" refinance where I'm simply shopping for a new rate and not looking to get a lot of cash back. With a rate and term refinance, you can still get a small percentage of your total loan back in cash (I think around 1%) which I elected to do. If you're looking for more cash back you would have a different style of loan and would have different interest rates to go along with it.
- Because I was on the edge of needing to pay PMI, I wound up getting my house appraised early in the process. The first lender that I talked to ordered the appraisal and had I gone with his loan the appraisal would have been free. However, in the next week I changed my mind and was able to pay for the cost of the appraisal directly and then have it reassigned to a different lender. Some lenders do not allow their appraisals to be reassigned and I was fortunate to be able to do this. In hindsight, I may have been better off waiting on the appraisal until I was 100% sure that I had the best loan out there.
- I wound up refinancing with Wells Fargo and initially locked in at 5.875%. After I locked in the interest rate dropped slightly and I was able to utilize Wells Fargo's one time float down policy to the current rate of 5.75%. If you refinance with a broker, they can most likely just find a new loan if rates drop after you lock in, but if you like knowing exactly what fees you're going to pay before refinancing (i.e. a bank, not a broker) then finding one with a policy like this can be helpful.

The day after Saturday's NCAA Div. I men's basketball game between Cincinnati and Xavier ended in a benches-clearing brawl, both schools announced disciplinary actions taken against their respective players who participated in the fight.
Cincinnati's Yancy Gates and Cheikh Mbodj—who had been ejected from the contest for fighting—were suspended for six games each, as was freshman Octavius Ellis. Ge'Lawn Guyn was additionally suspended for one game.
Because this incident occurred in early December, approximately a month before conference play traditionally begins, Gates and Mbodj will only miss one Big East contest. Accordingly, Ellis and Guyn are not expected to miss the conference opener.
Meanwhile, Xavier's Dezmine Wells—the only Musketeers player who was ejected—received a four-game suspension, as did walk-on Landen Amos. Junior Mark Lyons received a two-game sentence and Tu Holloway was suspended for one game.
Despite the heavy criticism being levied against both Cincinnati and Xavier for what some analysts have described as inadequate disciplinary measures, a wide range of prior NCAA suspensions for fighting or punching suggest this group of suspensions is indeed sufficient.
Read on for a partial history of significant fight- and punch-related suspensions.

First Black editor appointed to head New York Times
Miami Times staff report | 5/14/2014, 4:44 p.m.
Dean Baquet became the first Black to head The New York Times after the paper ousted its executive editor, Jill Abramson Wednesday, ending a rocky three year relationship with the paper.
Times Chairman Arthur Sulzberger immediately appointed Baquet to fill the role at perhaps the world's most prestigious newspaper, a 163-year-old institution that has won 112 Pulitzer Prizes, more than any publication in the country.
The announcement stunned the paper's editorial staff in The Times' offices in New York. In his address to the newsroom, Sulzberger said he felt the need to make a management change, according to journalists at the paper. Although he did not offer details, Sulzberger said Abramson's departure was related to her management of the newsroom. He made no effort to suggest that Abramson was leaving of her own accord.
Before his appointment, Baquet, 57, served as managing editor at The Times, a position that is second in command to the top post. A former editor of the Los Angeles Times, Baquet will be the first Black to become executive editor of the Times. He won the Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting at the Chicago Tribune in 1988.
"It is an honor to be asked to lead the only newsroom in the country that is actually better than it was a generation ago, one that approaches the world with wonder and ambition every day," he said in a news release.
The newspaper did not comment on the reasons for Abramson's departure, but she and Baquet had reportedly clashed over the newspaper's direction and management . Some within the Times have been privately critical of Abramson's management style, which they have described as aloof.
People at the paper said Abramson and Sulzberger had clashed recently, but it was unclear what their differences were. Another factor, they said, was Abramson's souring relationship with Mark Thompson, the chief executive of the New York Times Co. and a former journalist at the BBC whom Sulzberger recruited in 2012.
Despite the internal criticism of Abramson during her tenure, the decision to replace her shocked many at the Times and elsewhere. "Everyone gob-smacked in NYT newsroom over Jill Abramson leaving and Dean Baquet taking over," tweeted Times arts reporter Patricia Cohen not long after the news broke.
The newspaper has rarely replaced its top editor before retirement — Abramson's predecessor, Bill Keller, held the job for eight years — and Abramson was young enough to have served at least a decade or longer in the position. What's more, her status as the first woman to hold the job gave her special distinction.

Warning: MeltDown Shop in Kitchener
Hey all,
wanted to warn you guys about this shop called meltdown in kitchener. Went there this past weekend for their "Mid winter snowboard show" because a friend of mine wanted to buy new bindings. I've been looking at the burton diodes myself for about 2-3 months now. Basically i know all about them. To my surprise, I saw the Diodes Est version at the store for a lovely and completely bullsh*t price of $479.99 apparently on sale from $599.99 while the canadian burton website states that MSRP is $429.99 for the diodes est..... just wanted to warn everyone before they got ripped off. However, on their website, they sell the bindings for msrp with a sale now... wish they would have some consistency with prices
Shred on!
Got a good deal on a 2014 board from them, can't complain.
PSA skillz need some work.
A lot of local shops carry gear at over MSRP. Haven't really seen it much in this particular industry, but definitely in others. That way they have some margin to work with when they put items "on sale". It's up to the customer to educate themselves.
Not defending the practice as I think in this day and age of the internet it's not a wise practice. Once word gets out about it, you're pretty much dooming yourself.
MSRP = Manufacturer's SUGGESTED Retail Price. It's not set in stone. If a shop wants to try to sell it for more than that, it's well within their rights to do so. The other term to know in pricing is MAP. MAP = Minimum Advertised Price. Lots of companies institute MAP to protect their retailers from getting undercut by larger dealers that can make up for less margin with quantity.
I bought a board from them... Price was good, but they had it packaged in toilet paper and it was scratched up pretty badly. Almost looked like a used product.
Not to mention their website is out of sync with the rest of their inventory. They'll advertise stuff as being in stock, and contact you 4-5 business days later informing you they actually don't have anything in stock.
I'd rather buy from Source Boards, if I'm ordering anything online, mostly because I pay less on tax, and can find some decently priced stuff.
But yeah... It pays to shop around, and see what other companies are offering price-wise.
I recall them having some really good deals end of season last year when they still had a shop in Toronto. It's mid season, not too sure what you are expecting in terms of a sale. So things weren't cheap and you didn't walk away with anything and it in fact wasn't a good sale. I wouldn't go as far as flogging the shop for that.

The literature of the last few years shows that the number of reports on infections with Salmonella suipestifer is increasing. This increase is probably due to the fact that interest in these infections has awakened and it is an old rule that the more one seeks something the more often one finds it. Before commenting on the subject of the infections as a whole we wish to describe 6 cases.
Case 1.—This case was reported in detail in 19351; so we shall deal with it here only briefly. B. A., an 8 month old girl, was admitted to the hospital in November 1933 with the complaint of ill health for several weeks, inability to use the left arm and swelling in the region of the left shoulder. During this time the infant had continuous fever (temperature of 39 C. [102.2 F.]). Lancing the swelling yielded 5

Today we are starting something I'd like to call exactly what it is. South African blog of the day.
Our first winning blog for our "blog of the day" is a slightly new blog called Classic Malema. As you might of guessed it, its all about Malema. Malema has made so many dumb statements that there is enough content to create a entire site from. I found the previous video I posted there.
I said I'd post positive things for a week and this must go in there somewhere as well. There is some entertaining stuff over there and if you are not sure what to say next time someone talks about how good the ANC is, well just point them that way.

Courtney & Joanna: We're Different People
By Courtney Enlow & Joanna Robinson | Miscellaneous | May 6, 2011 | Comments ()
We are Courtney Enlow and Joanna Robinson. We have much in common. We both write for Pajiba. We both have brown hair (mostly, Joanna's hair color changes a lot). We both think ourselves humorous. We both enjoy Matt Smith and would like to enjoy him carnally, preferable involving our vaginas (or, as Joanna would say, ladyparts), something else we both have. But at the end of the day, we are, in fact, wholly separate individuals with vast and glorious differences (but not vas deferens. . .though I guess we covered that). Which is why we tend to become a tad bummed when our commenters, who we love with all the sparkles in Unicorn Gumdrop Land, confuse us. Commenters litter Courtney posts with "I agree, Joanna, you're so funny" and Joanna posts are often fraught with "Courtney, I'm not sure why you keep linking to Joanna's Twitter at the end of your posts." We wish this to cease. And we feel it might be helpful, integral, even, to your Pajiba experience, for you to truly get to know the ladypeople you sometimes confuse. (Courtney wrote this intro and Joanna likes interjections, parentheses, and ellipses. . .can you tell?)
This is Courtney.
This is Joanna.
Joanna: Hey, I'm Joanna. Odds are if you see lots of images of breasts, it's a Joanna Post.
Courtney: Hi. I'm Courtney. My posts are typically indicated by the presence of a Bieber or a Snooki monster.
Joanna: If you see the word "nethers," you know you're reading a Courtney post.
Courtney: Joanna's really good at coming up with precious terms of endearment. I generally refer to you as "you people."
Joanna: If you read a pun that makes you either audibly groan or attempt to pluck out your eyes so you never have to read again, you've accidentally clicked on another Joanna post.
Courtney: If the post involves threatening a famous stranger with some form of bodily injury, it's probably Courtney. Bitch has issues.
Joanna: If you're reading about the finer workings of ABC's TGIF line-up from the 90's or something that indicates the writer knows more about Saved By The Bell than you ever dreamed possible, you're reading Court, you lucky bastard.
Courtney: If you're staring at a clever list, that's everyone but Courtney, as she only does lists when she has literally pulled every hair out of her head due to lack of news. But if it's a list that is at once informative and breast-laden, it's probably Joanna.
Joanna: If you see a whole lotta linkie thingies? That's a Pajiba Love. Joanna writes those.
Courtney: Eloquent rants with dollops of femme-tasticness = Joanna. 2,000 word diatribes about MTV and Eat Pray Love? That's the other one.
Joanna: Courtney once described Riley from Buffy The Vampire Slayer as a clownshoe. Stop the internet, that's the best thing anyone has ever written.
Courtney: Joanna once posted the trailer for the movie Airborne and it made me the happiest girl this side of Colin Firth's bedroom.
Joanna: Court's getting married next month, so if you hear "dress, shoes, florists, caterers or feyonce" in a post, that's Court. If the writer openly flirts with you? That's Joanna. Call her, she's single.
Courtney: I'm glad she said that because I was about to talk about how "if the writer inserts a casual mention of her upcoming nuptials because she's physically unable to get through the day without mentioning it at this point but doesn't want to be that girl, it's Courtney" but now I don't have to because she did it for me, but you'll note I did it anyway for the aforementioned reasons.
Joanna: Courtney has forgotten more about Britney Spears than I will ever know in fifty lifetimes.
Courtney: I've told you people far too much about the dark secrets that cloud my iPod. Also, I've never forgotten anything about my Brit Brit. It's alllllll up here.
Joanna: Joanna likes to mock hipsters, even though she clearly is one, excuse her while she finishes this PBR.
Courtney: Courtney went to Hipster University (aka, Columbia College Chicago) and rebelled against her fairly inherent hipster culture by wearing Abercrombie & Fitch and talking a LOT about The OC. This was so much douchier than just wearing the fucking American Apparel lamé leggings. She really does love The OC though. So does Joanna. *high fives for Seth Cohen*
Joanna: Speaking of The OC Joanna lives in California (and loves transitional phrases). She brags a lot about the weather here. She's never held a snow shovel and wouldn't know the first thing about de-icing a windshield. Would a blow dryer work? Like with a really long extension cord? Is that what people do?
Courtney: Courtney lives in Illinois. She doesn't brag about shit.
Joanna: Joanna's really tall, you can't tell this when reading her writing but Courtney's really short and types like a short person. I would quote Randy Newman here, but I hate that guy for no good reason.
Courtney: Oh shit man, me too. I got yelled at for it on the Oscar liveblog. Oh, yeah, forgot, if there's a liveblog, it's probably me. Or Lifetime is having a very special evening, in which case it's TK.
Joanna: Joanna has an annoyingly amaranthine affinity for alliteration. She also has a thesaurus and is not afraid to use it.
Courtney: Joanna really likes the movie The Beastmaster. Courtney really likes the movie The Crush. This is a toss-up.
Joanna: Both of us really like The Cutting Edge and will toepick Dustin in the face the next time he speaks ill of it.
Courtney: Courtney just got done looking up what "amaranthine" means. She's not proud of this.
There. We hope this helped. And if all else fails, here's a helpful diagram to tell us apart.
Joanna Robinson was in charge of picking the sensationalist header photo, Courtney Enlow was in charge of making a headline that wasn't a paragraph long. You can dish wedding deets with Court on her Twitter or yell at Joanna about Randy Newman on her Twitter

A Federal Grant is an award of financial assistance from a Federal agency to a recipient. The money comes out of the general federal revenue fund and requires the recipient to carry out a public purpose for the greater good as authorized by the United States. These public purposes for the greater good can come in many forms. Some are more personal such as starting a new business, going back to school and/or repairing your home. Others involve research and development for important issues facing our country, for example, in the medical and agricultural fields.
Twenty-six Federal agencies offer over 1,000 grant programs in various subject areas each year. It is extremely important for you to fully understand the nature of Federal Grants, their availiability, and the application process for each before you spend valuable time applying. For this reason, we created our easy-to-use website so you can research and understand each of the Federal Grant subject areas and apply for those Grants that suit you best.

Wildfires Strike the Panhandles
|Aerial picture of a burn scar in Hartley County, Texas
Warm and dry conditions across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles led to an outbreak of wildfires from April 9-10, 2011. Below is a summary of the fires that occurred during this period:
o First fire was 3 miles west of Lefors, it burned 125 acres, and 4 structures were threatened but saved.
o Second fire was near Highway 70 and Maddox Road and burned 50 acres.
The cause of the fires is currently unknown. Texas DPS, Texas Forest Service, and the National Weather Service participated in an aerial damage assesment Monday April 11. The survey team flew over the two largest fires, in Hartley and Moore Counties. They were able to determine the acreage and perimeter size of the fires. The exact acreage of the other fires will be determined at a later date.

This Saturday in Nashville will be the annual meeting of the Tennessee Volunteers and Vanderbilt Commodores. The rivalry is one of the most understated ones in college football, mainly because it has been so lopsided in the Vols' favor for the past 30 years. Vandy, however, has closed the gap.
What are the keys for a Tennessee victory in this otherwise disappointing season?
Putting the talk of Derek Dooley's job status on the back burner is an obvious key. The team will need all of its focus on 6-4 Vanderbilt, whose own head coach, James Franklin, has the players and fanbase enthused like never before.
This once guaranteed win has become a heated confrontation. Let's see what the Vols need to do in order to get the best of this exchange.

Although recent high-profile data breaches were orchestrated through sophisticated cyberattacks, sensitive information is often exposed through less tech-savvy incidents. The University of California San Francisco recently announced that the personal data of more than 9,000 people had been compromised after the theft of several computers from its clinics. Secure file transfer services help guard against the additional consequences of unexpected events like stolen hardware.
According to CBS San Francisco, the desktop computers were taken on January 11 from the UCSF Family Medical Center at Lakeshore. The university notified affected individuals that their personal and health information was exposed, including names, birth dates, addresses, medical record numbers, health insurance IDs and driver's license numbers, the source added.
Data breach hassles
In addition to contacting the thousands of people whose information was compromised, the university had to inform appropriate state and federal departments because the data included health information. Like other companies that experience data breaches, the educational center also offered credit monitoring to individuals whose Social Security numbers were exposed.
These responses constitute part of the costs associated with failed information security. As this case highlights, the risk for data breaches extends beyond cybercriminals hacking into networks or infecting systems with viruses. Therefore, as part of a comprehensive security plan, organizations need to implement appropriate secure file sharing solutions that provide better control over data in the event hardware is lost or stolen.
Hardware thefts: More common than you might think
?An eSecurity Planet report noted that the January 11 breach was the third incident in four months for the University of California San Francisco. Previous exposures were also related to stolen hardware: In September, an unencrypted laptop stolen from an employee's car compromised over 3,000 patients' personal and health information, and then another laptop taken from a physician's vehicle exposed over 8,000 patients' data.
Clearly, laptop and other hardware thefts are a persistent threat. Therefore, organizations need to protect their information with robust solutions such as secure file transfer services. These options give corporations greater control over where information is stored and accessed, even when employee use portable devices. That way, if a stolen device is reported, it's much harder for criminals to gain access to confidential information. Managers could even mitigate the consequences of a theft by changing access permissions.
Information security is an ongoing process that must be prioritized and maintained vigilantly. The best strategies involve infrastructure protection, high-end services and programs that provide security, training for employees and best-practice policies.

Overview of Shingles
Almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States will develop shingles, also known as zoster or herpes zoster. There are an estimated 1 million cases each year in this country. Anyone who has recovered from chickenpox may develop shingles; even children can get shingles. However the risk of disease increases as a person gets older. About half of all cases occur among men and women 60 years old or older.
People who have medical conditions that keep their immune systems from working properly, such as certain cancers, including leukemia and lymphoma, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and people who receive immunosuppressive drugs, such as steroids and drugs given after organ transplantation are also at greater risk of getting shingles.
About half of all shingles cases occur among men and women age 60 years and older. People who develop shingles typically have only one episode in their lifetime. In rare cases, however, a person can have a second or even a third episode.
Cause of Shingles
Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus stays in the body in a dormant (inactive) state. For reasons that are not fully known, the virus can reactivate years later, causing shingles. Herpes zoster is not caused by the same virus that causes genital herpes, a sexually transmitted disease.
"As I shared with a friend that I had a bad case of Shingles, she told me of a salve she had ordered that was supposed to help ease the pain of shingles. This salve is Durham's Wonder Salve. She let me have a jar to try. I had been using a prescription cream at least twice a day and nothing. I started using Durhams salve after Church Services one night as I was having severe pain. It gave instant relief. I use it once daily most days, never over twice a day. I ordered three more jars so I could share with others. I would highly recommend Durhams salve for the pain of shingles."
Ann Watts
Following review on Amazon.com
"My wife occasionally suffers from shingles and in researching for anything to relieve her pain I found Wonder Salve. I purchased it for her and because she was in so much pain I had it shipped overnite. We got the product straight away and my wife began using it. Instantly her pain was reduced and within a very short time the shingles were gone and all the while her pain was deminished. Anyone who suffers from shingles knows how painful they are.
A few months later a friend said he had blisters on his face, they were extremely painful and a doctor had given him a perscription, but wasn't sure what it was. I immediately bought him some Wonder Salve, he used it and his pain and sores went away very quickly as well.
Not too long after that my Mother said she was having problems with shingles and right away I ordered her some Wonder Salve and she loves it. So Durham's Wonder Salve has made me a hero and my Mom, my wife and a friend very happy.
It also works great on fever blisters. I get them when I'm out in the sun without protection. I had one coming on one day and thought I'ld give Wonder Salve a shot and it works better than any topical I've ever tried. No nasty sore on your lip or anything, just keep applying until it's gone.
Very seldom do I write reviews, but Wonder Salve is really a great product and worth the time and effort.
If you suffer from shingles you must give Wonder Salve a try, you'll be very happy you did."
D. Dillon, Kansas
Signs & Symptoms of Shingles
Shingles usually starts as a painful rash on one side of the face or body. The rash forms blisters that typically scab over in 7�10 days and clears up within 2�4 weeks.
Before the rash develops, there is often pain, itching, or tingling in the area where the rash will develop. This may happen anywhere from 1 to 5 days before the rash appears.Most commonly, the rash occurs in a single stripe around either the left or the right side of the body. In other cases, the rash occurs on one side of the face. In rare cases (usually among people with weakened immune systems), the rash may be more widespread and look similar to a chickenpox rash. Shingles can affect the eye and cause loss of vision.
Other symptoms of shingles can include:
Upset stomach
Transmission of Shingles
Shingles cannot be passed from one person to another. However, the virus that causes shingles, the varicella zoster virus, can be spread from a person with active shingles to a person who has never had chickenpox. In such cases, the person exposed to the virus might develop chickenpox, but they would not develop shingles. The virus is spread through direct contact with fluid from the rash blisters, not through sneezing, coughing or casual contact.
A person with shingles can spread the virus when the rash is in the blister-phase. A person is not infectious before blisters appear. Once the rash has developed crusts, the person is no longer contagious.
Shingles is less contagious than chickenpox and the risk of a person with shingles spreading the virus is low if the rash is covered.
If you have shingles:
Keep the rash covered.
Do not touch or scratch the rash.
Wash your hands often to prevent the spread of varicella zoster virus.
Until your rash has developed crusts, avoid contact with
pregnant women who have never had chickenpox or the varicella vaccine;
premature or low birth weight infants; and
immunocompromised persons (such as persons receiving immunosuppressive medications or undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, and people with HIV infection).
"About 10 years ago I come down with shingles, which anyone who has had them knows they are very painful and burning. I tried everything the doctors gave me but nothing worked, they keep coming back. they would appear in the night and by the morning, I'd be in pain and burning. My daughter read a article about Wonder Salve from Durham's Bee Farm. I gave it a try. As soon as I felt the burning coming on, I rubbed your Wonder Salve on the spot and it disappears in a matter of minutes. It has been 4 years since I have had shingles because I use your Durham's propolis salve, so if you have shingles, it WORKS. It works for me and it could work for you"
Brenda F.

The only way to reduce the risk of developing shingles and the long-term pain that can follow shingles is to get vaccinated. A vaccine for shingles is licensed for persons aged 60 years and older. For more information about preventing shingles, visit the Vaccination page.
