The annual trek to Las Vegas is behind us, and overall impressions of the convention are positive. As always, the foot traffic on the convention floor was heavier on Monday and Tuesday, but Thursday still saw a reasonable number of people still making their rounds. Conversations with attendees and exhibitors were marked with mostly positive remarks about the success of the show. It appears that broadcasting is on an upswing.
The most frequently asked question on the convention floor sought information on new products being displayed. If you weren't able to make the rounds to every booth, don't worry. We covered it for you. The March and April issues of Radio magazine had lots of information about products being unveiled, as did the NAB Insider e-mail newsletter, but they only scratched the surface. On the following pages you'll find details about some of the products that were kept secret until the convention doors opened. You'll also find the top picks of our Pick Hits judges with the 15 top new products at the convention. The Radio magazine Pick Hits are the oldest technology awards from the convention, and our panel of judges has excelled in its task to find the best of the best. Because the Pick Hits are limited to 15 products, there are many introductions that do not receive the honor. The Pick Hits are included on the following pages. You can see the list of the judges and the official rules as well.
Because of the scope of convention, it's impossible to include every new product introduction even in the pre- and post-show issues. Look for more great products in the New Products section of upcoming issues, as well as the annual Product Source accompanying the September issue.

NBER Working Paper No. w14183
A liquidity-constrained entrepreneur needs to raise capital to finance a business activity that may cause injuries to third parties -- the tort victims. Taking the level of borrowing as fixed, the entrepreneur finances the activity with senior (secured) debt in order to shield assets from the tort victims in bankruptcy. Interestingly, senior debt serves the interests of society more broadly: it creates better incentives for the entrepreneur to take precautions than either junior debt or outside equity. Unfortunately, the entrepreneur will raise a socially excessive amount of senior debt. Giving tort victims priority over senior debtholders in bankruptcy prevents over-leveraging but leads to suboptimal incentives. Lender liability exacerbates the incentive problem even further. A Limited Seniority Rule, where the firm may issue senior debt up to an exogenous limit after which any further borrowing is treated as junior to the tort claim, dominates these alternatives. Shareholder liability, mandatory liability insurance and punitive damages are also discussed.

whats the point of elebits or were u just kidding
what kind of games do you like? You could also wait a bit till a game comes out that you really tickles your fancy.
not many good games are coming out for a long time so I thought that i might get a new game until then.(since i just beat zelda)
I dont know about many games so i wanted to ask what people plan to get/have
and if they recomend them. I know this was on other threads but i want to know what people want to get that is coming out soon.
I have googled many games but sometimes you dont find games that people dont think about much.
I am actually interested in elebits (but I may be a rare breed)

ACU endowment among top performers in the nationPosted February 15, 2013
For the last decade, Abilene Christian has benefited from one of the top performing endowments among colleges and universities in the U.S., according to the 2012 NACUBO-Commonfund Study of Endowments. ACU earned the No. 2 spot for the 10-year period ending June 30, 2012.
The National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) 2012 survey evaluated the endowments of 831 institutions representing more than $406 billion in assets. The average rate of return among those schools reporting 10-year results (456 institutions) was 6.2 percent. ACU's return for the same decade came in at 10.4 percent.
For all endowments with assets of more than $100 million, ACU had the highest five-year return at 5.0 percent.
"We are blessed to have a Board of Trustees that is progressive and innovative," says Jack Rich, ACU's chief investment officer and manager of its $312 million endowment fund. "Over the years, they have adopted a highly diversified portfolio that has approved investments in private equity, hedge funds, energy and other alternative investments."
In addition, ACU's positive 3.2 percent return for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2012, is impressive considering the average one-year return for higher education endowments was a negative 0.3 percent – a disappointing performance when many analysts had hoped for better post-recession results, according to a report by InsideHigherEd.com.
"We invest for the long term and we are not overly concerned about monthly market movements," says Rich. "Beyond that, we work with the best fund managers we can identify, who then invest on our behalf."
Rich is president of the Abilene Christian Investment Management Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the university, which manages its endowment.

So much television, so little time:
Is it safe yet to talk about this week's episode of HBO's "Game of Thrones"?
If you haven't yet seen it but plan to, please stop reading now. Or skip ahead to the next item.
This is your final warning.
Now: If that "WTF" moment at the end of Sunday's episode left you wondering what you'd signed on for, I understand.
While many viewers have read "A Song of Ice and Fire," the George R.R. Martin series of novels that "Game of Thrones" is based on, it's likely most haven't.
So when a Major Character, the one any reasonable person might have called the star of the show, meets a bloody end, it's natural to be, um, surprised.
I got to it in the book first, and I'm still a little sad.
But here's the thing you now know about "Game of Thrones," which was renewed for a second season right after its April 17 premiere: No one is safe.
Read ahead or don't read ahead. It doesn't matter. There have been tweaks along the way, but these producers are clearly committed to this story, and it's a sprawling, still-unfinished epic, one whose cast of characters grows — and occasionally contracts — in a way that's only going to make producing (and watching) get harder over time.
Stay aboard and you're in for a rough ride.
Hop off now and you'll save yourself some heartache — but will miss what could be a spectacular trip.
—Speaking of spectacular trips, Steven Spielberg's new alien-invasion series "Falling Skies" (9 p.m. Sunday, TNT) kicks off with a two-hour premiere that may look familiar to anyone who's seen AMC's "The Walking Dead," ABC's "V'' or any we're-under-attack-by-critters project ever.
Noah Wyle stars as a widowed Cambridge, Mass., college professor who becomes one of the leaders of the human resistance, putting his knowledge of military history to use while fighting to keep his surviving family safe.
It's a watchable enough the first couple of hours, but if you're still on the fence after Sunday, I've seen enough of to say it does get more interesting, as we get to know characters and the alien agenda is gradually revealed.
—And because I'm not all about the grim scenarios, I'm happy to remind you that Sunday also marks the return of "Drop Dead Diva" (9 p.m., Lifetime), that endearingly silly show about a lawyer named Jane (Brooke Elliott) whose plus-sized body has been taken over by the spirit of a skinny (dead) aspiring model named Deb.
— Before you laugh too hard at "Diva," consider that HBO, according to the Hollywood Reporter, has committed to a six-season series from Tom Hanks' Playtone based on Neil Gaiman's "American Gods," described as "rich in religious folklore that spanned millennia and featuring deities from Greek and Nordic mythology, and even the Judeo-Christian monotheistic God making an appearance, in the contemporary U.S."
And, oh, yeah, "effects-heavy."
—So how soon before Oprah Winfrey's OWN is rebranded as the Celebrity Rehab Network?
This week it was Sarah Ferguson, the oft-disgraced Duchess of York, who sought Oprah-style redemption in the premiere of "Finding Sarah" (9 p.m., OWN).
On Sunday at 10, she's joined by Ryan O'Neal and his long-estranged daughter, Tatum, in the Father's Day premiere of "Ryan and Tatum: The O'Neals," an even creepier show in which two very damaged people pretend to be trying to reconnect.
And, yes, I think they're largely pretending, particularly the elder O'Neal, who's as self-absorbed as an infant but whose much-talked-about adult-sized temper is largely kept under wraps in the first episode.
"I'm wary about inviting her into my heart, because she's hurt me in the past," he says of Tatum, after asking her to his house. "We'll just see how it goes when it's only the two of us."
Great idea. Let's leave them alone, shall we?
—AMC's "The Killing" wraps up its first season Sunday — no, I don't know who killed Rosie Larsen — and for those who've missed the excruciating buildup, with its many, many detours, AMC's sister channel, Sundance, is holding a weekend marathon of the first 12 episodes, with the first six showing from 4-10 p.m. Saturday and the second six from 4-10 p.m. Sunday.
—Thrilled as I am by all the ways "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan's reportedly trying to atone for that antigay rant, I hope his apology tour stops short of hosting next year's Tonys.
I also hope his producer and co-star, Tina Fey, can find a way to make lemonade out of the whole sorry mess, since a homophobic outburst by a guy whose new boss — NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt — is gay is just the kind of idiocy "30 Rock" skewers so well.
And because what Morgan reportedly said wasn't just stupid but breathtakingly mean, it might even become — dare I say it? — a teachable moment.

Dear Editor:
I would like to express my disappointment with the Carnegie Library here in East Liverpool. This is the experience I had there with my 3-year-old granddaughter, who had been wanting to go to the library because she loves to learn.
We had made a few attempts to go to the library but they have been closed. I am not sure what the hours are but I now know they are closed on Sunday, they close at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, and they close at 1 p.m. on Saturday. I know this because these are the days we tried to go there.
When we went to the library it was on a Wednesday. We walked in the back door and there were two ladies at the main desk. Trying to make it a good experience and play on my granddaughter's excitement, I said to the women "this is our first time at the library." Well that didn't go well because they didn't acknowledge her at all. They just kept doing what it was it was they were doing.
We found our way to the children's room and the lady there introduced herself to us after I proclaimed it being our first time. She them showed us where to find the age appropriate books and gave us a list of the storytime hours (all of which are in the morning during the week). We then went to the books and she picked two. We sat down and started reading them and the nice lady said "I am sorry but we close in 10 minutes. We close at 5 on Wednesdays."
Needless to say, my granddaughter was so very disappointed.
What happened to our town? What happened to people? I thought our goal was to help our youth, not turn our backs on them.
I admit I am guilty of not using our library, but I am sure there are more out here that would if it was made available to them.
I know funding has been cut and we have lost most money, but I am sure it is due to the lack of patrons also. Who wants to patronize a business when people that work there can't be bothered? If you don't like your job or you are feeling some type of way about the people you work with/for or don't enjoy children, then maybe it is time to move on.
I am upset that I now have to travel to show my granddaughter the value of learning.

Love Enhancing Chocolate Blueberry Lavender Truffles Recipe
By Rena Unger | February 8, 2011
One of the first lessons we learn in life, is that food is love. As babies we enter this world completely reliant on our caregiver(s) to provide food for our survival. This typically lends to a unique bonding and nurturing experience. As we grow, many milestones are marked with food – birthdays, holidays, family nights, dates, weddings and even funerals. Hopefully along the way, we experience the unique foods that elicit a sense of euphoria, called aphrodisiacs. Read More

FOLLOWING the Democratic Alliance (DA) conference and the well manufactured messaging around a party that supposedly doesn't see race, I reflected on my upbringing to assess whether or not I have become a failing of nonracialism.
Throughout childhood I have had engagements with white people, and although I have experienced racism and hatred, the lasting emotion or memory is that of love and respect.
Having a white aunt who has genuinely cared for me, I am motivated by the idea of a nonracial society where many South Africans can enjoy relationships built on character and not colour.
But I am highly realistic about how this society can be created. I do hold the view that nothing great has ever come to be as a result of pretending that impediments don't exist.
Dr King's famous dream was in itself an acknowledgment of everything America wasn't, and should be. It was an acknowledgment of the problem.
What I have enjoyed most from my "white" relationships was never feeling the need to shy away from my blackness, the social injustice that happened and its lingering legacy.
I have held the view that socioeconomic focus needs to be given to the black citizens of our population.
I hold this view without an acrimonious view of our fellow white South Africans. The reality is that a systematic institution excluded the black population from any form of development, and within the new South Africa a conditioned culture engineered to favour white people still exists.
The denial of our race issues by black DA members is a cowardly betrayal of their black identity.
To say proudly that the DA doesn't see race is a disingenuous rejection of reality. One only needs to make a personal survey of the Western Cape to note this disjuncture. So while DA national spokesman Mmusi Maimane doesn't see race, the province the DA governs seems to have 40/40 vision on race. Farm workers are black and coloured, farmers are white, Camps Bay dwellers are white and township inhabitants are black. The rich are white and the poor are black.
Perhaps the fear of acknowledging the problem comes with the greater fear of having to do something about it. I mean systematically intending to empower black folk.
The black members of the DA must acknowledge the problems that plague them without acknowledging the overt pattern which is their race. This is primarily because the yardstick for the DA's leadership on black members are those that share similar ideas to Mr Maimane's misleading comments.
The DA's measuring tape of black members is subject to whether or not they have a chip on their shoulder, and of course a chip on their shoulder is defined as displeasure about your history, and a stern sense of your black identity.
You must, to soar as high as DA parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko, be a colourless character, one with no race and one who pretends not to see race.
Such a sad state reminds me of WEB Du Bois who said: "It is a peculiar sensation, this double consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of world that looks on in amused contempt and pity."
Until the DA acknowledges the disadvantages of black South Africans and agrees to adopt a realistic plan to develop black people, they will never create a genuine home for black people.

I'm looking to buy a powdermeasure (Lee perfect powder measure or similiar). What, in your opinion, is the best one on the market?

Harrells are excellent and pricey. So are the Reddings. Those are the conventional ones. There are others out there if you want to pay over $1000.
July 18, 2003, 07:04 AM
I currently have on hand both a Lee and an RCBS and they are both adequate for all but the finest measurements.
The Lee, dissed by some reloaders because it has plastic parts, actually is the more accurate measure of the two on my bench. It doesn't hang up on long-grain powders while the RCBS can become erratic in accuracy when it snags on cutting them and interrupts a smooth throwing swing.
Either product will do suitable work for the most part.

The best, or most consistant powder measure I've used is my old Ohaus. Though no longer made and somewhat of a pain to set up at times it throws an extremely consistant charge, with just about any type of powder. You'll have to hit the gun shows to find one.
As for current manufactured units I have experience with both the Lyman 55 and the RCBS uniflow. I have no problem recommending either.
Take care

Watch the auctions and gun shows for the most accurate lifetime quality cast iron and stainless steel powder measure ever made. The California Saeco measure. It has a crinkle black finish and set your E-Bay favorites search option for Saeco Powder measure. It was made from the late 1940's up until the late 70s and won't wear out. Their owners are passing away and their oldies but goodies are appearing as I have seen them. If you obtain one I have the printed instructions.

Another really good powder measure, if you can
still find one is the "Pacific DeLuxe". Mine always
threw perfect charges; without a hitch!:D Some
people say the Hornady measure is the same
thing; but I don't know for sure?:confused: :uhoh:

Best measure = Prometheus, but be prepared as it will set you back about $1500...
The Harrells over at Sinclair are what I see most B/R shooters using, highly respected.
I use a Hornady case activated measure with a micrometer adjuster and it works very well..
July 20, 2003, 11:58 AM
As Swamp Yankee said about the Ohaus Du-o-Measure. The little Lyman 55 is handier, and just as accurate for ball and large charges of stick powder, but the old Ohaus is much more consistent for small charges of flake powder.
July 20, 2003, 02:43 PM
If you already have a Lee Perfect Powder Measure-- stick with it! Once it is properly broken in it will throw loads as accurate as any others.
I have two, one for handgun loads and the other for rifle loads. They've been on my bench for a long time and have thrown many pounds of powder. They now repeat_loads within 1/10 grain all day long. As with all other aspects of reloading, consistency is the holy grail. When I tilt the tube down to fill from the hopper, I pat the back of the measure three times and when I tilt it back up_to drop the powder into the case, I pat it three times again. I've experimented with patting it two or four times and the amounts thrown vary when I do.
I've had this discussion with lots of reloaders who swear by their Lyman or RCBS or Harrell's or Prometheus. But CONSISTENTLY throwing loads within 1/10 grain has to be the final measure of quality, not price, not exterior finish, not stainless steel parts.
July 21, 2003, 11:09 AM
I own a tricked out RCBS Uniflow, a Harrell, and a Lee.
Most of the time I use the Harrell, but for long stick stuff, nothing beats the Lee.

Florida Fish and Wildlife: More than 150 birds found dead on Central Florida beaches
Environmental /
Birds galore in New Smyrna Beach
Headline Surfer photos by Sera Frederick / These photos, taken in 2008 on New Smyrna Beach, are indicative of the array of birds on the beaches of Central Florida.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Researchers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have received reports of more than 150 dead or distressed greater shearwaters, gull-like birds, along Florida's east coast in Brevard, Indian River, St. Johns and Volusia counties this week.
After examining some of the birds, researchers believe these deaths are related to stress from the species' long, trans-Atlantic migration.
Greater shearwaters migrate from their primary breeding grounds in Tristan da Cunha, a group of islands off the southwest coast of Africa, across the Atlantic to Canada, according to the Peterson Field Guide for Eastern Birds.
"This long migration, coupled with storms and high winds, can take its toll on some immature and older shearwaters, sapping their strength and making it difficult to feed," said Dan Wolf, an FWC research biologist. "Upon examination of some of the dead greater shearwaters this week, we found the birds were young and emaciated, consistent with normal migration mortality."
Birds are a typical sight over the sand and surf of New Smyrna Beach.
Migration-related deaths of greater shearwaters occur every year around this time, though the number varies.
In 2007, researchers received reports of about 1,000 dead shearwaters during the migratory season.
Since Monday, citizens and wildlife rehabilitators from Vero Beach north to Ponte Vedra have reported finding these dead birds in areas along the shoreline.
Because greater shearwaters live most of their lives on the open sea, the deaths are only seen alongshore when winds are blowing inshore. The public can report dead birds to the FWC online at MyFWC.com/Bird. Anyone who encounters a dead or distressed bird is asked not to handle it. For assistance with sick or injured birds, citizens should contact a local wildlife rehabilitative facility.

We are proud to announce the latest happy couple Constance and Wolfgang Fischer. They surrendered to the English summer monsoon weather and tied the knot in the main dining hall with the glorious stained glass window as their back drop. Constance, fondly known as Connie to her friends and family, walked down the aisle in a fairy tale princess gown in ivory after arriving at the Manor in an impressive vintage Rolls Royce, driven by the lovely Paul of Prestige Wedding Cars. Her veil was delicate, framing her smiling face as she made her way towards her dashing man, to the sweet sound of Claudia Sommer, who sang a searing ballad which melted everybody's hearts. The bride's beautiful bouquet and all the gorgeous flowers were provided by Carla Lepperdinger. Their special moments were captured forever by Cerrie Simpson of Neolimn Photography. Bespoke stationary by Emma Farwell.
After the magic words had been spoken, even more magic ensued, as Chris Piercy dazzled guests with novel and innovative tricks and games. The crowd milled around happily sipping on fruity Pimms whilst A Bossa Imensa provided yet more charming music. After the ceremony and drinks reception, guests sat down to a fabulous three course dinner.
In the evening, guests made their way over to Langtry Lodge to continue the celebrations with a summer barbecue, and even more entertainment provided by a caricaturist Paul Tyler. For an individual twist, the couple opted for a traditional baked cheesecake topped with luscious fresh strawberries as their wedding cake, created by Lisa of Cake Cucina. Once the cake had been polished off it was time to dance the night away with Karl or Party Dexx providing the tunes. The night was brought to an explosive end with none other than our local fire performer from We Perform, who provided a fitting finale to an exciting day.
We wish them all our love and best wishes.

The purpose of the ridge waveguides in MgO:LN is to provide platform technology that will improve optical power handling and conversion efficiency compared to existing waveguide technology. The proposed ridge waveguide is produced using standard microfabrication techniques. The approach is enabled by recent advances in inductively coupled plasma etchers and chemical mechanical planarization techniques. In conjunction with wafer bonding, this fabrication methodology can be used to create arbitrarily shaped waveguides allowing complex optical circuits to be engineered in nonlinear optical materials such as magnesium doped lithium niobate. Researchers here have identified NLO (nonlinear optical) ridge waveguide structures as having suitable value to be the leading frequency conversion structures. Its value is based on having the low-cost fabrication necessary to satisfy the challenging pricing requirements as well as achieve the power handling and other specifications in a suitably compact package.

Scarygirl Review
Scarygirl is a functional platformer-come-brawler that's almost entirely devoid of distinction.
I won't have it said that Scarygirl is an ugly game. Trash its wonky physics, clumsy controls and dull-as-dirt platforming all you like, but if you deny that it's wonderfully whimsical slice of loveliness we're going to have to fight.
The game exists in a surreal universe, based on the graphic novels and vinyl toys of Aussie designer Nathan Jurevicius. It's a fairytale by way of The Mighty Boosh, or mythic folklore as told by Tim Burton. It's imaginative, hyperactive and colourful.
You play as the titular Scarygirl (as named by her hyper-intelligent octopus foster parent), a pale-faced orphan with floppy black locks and a tentacle where her arm should be. She sets out into a hodgepodge of weird worlds to discover the meaning behind her troubled dreams.
This takes her to such places as the Old Man Mountains, a chilly hilltop region carved to look like big-nosed gents in pilgrim hats, and the Owl Woods, where tree branches jut out at unnatural right-angles like that old pipes screensaver from Windows 95.
Every stage is alive and active. Enemies don't just litter the playspace, but they leap out of far scenery and pounce in from just inside the screen. Two-dimensional levels splinter off into multiple paths, and areas you didn't explore peek out of the backdrop to tease what you're missing.
Scarygirl's trappings are more charming and creative than anything that's been on Xbox Live Arcade recently. In one stage, a gigantic wooden slide peaks in the far horizon, dips into the level and opens in the foreground. Enormous spiky cannonballs roll down its slats and fire into the screen, and in such a way that you'd flinch yourself if this was in stereoscopic 3D. I was so dumbfounded by the set-piece that I got Scarygirl smooshed into a puddle of psuedo-goth grey. Twice.
So it's such a colossal shame, then, that the underlying game itself is so tired and unimaginative. TikGames wraps these wonderful illustrations around rote platforming sections and repetitive button-mashy combat, which both stubbornly contradict the inventiveness of Jurevicius' art.
The platforming, for example, is built from bits and pieces of a thousand other platformers I've already beaten, but never with the same care or attention. You'll bounce on trampolines, hop over rotating platforms, perilously dodge spikes and swing from hooks. It's got other bits borrowed from Donkey Kong and Mega Man, and nothing in particular of its own.
Our little sugar-coated goth doesn't tackle these obstacles well, either. She doesn't have the bounce of Mario or the elasticity of Rayman. She's slow and stodgy in her clumsy waddle, and floaty when jumping. You'll have to rely on her helicopter-like tentacle arm to glide safely between the hardest platforms.

When Mullah Omar was rulling Afghanistan 1000s of innocent women were gang raped by Taleban fighters and took for sexual slavery to the front line. If a criminal like Mullah Omar was still in Afghanistan the situation could be far worse for women with almost no media coverage and no voice from women groups and civil society groups.Delete
There are 1000s of undocumented crimes against women committed between 1992- 2001 and takes a lot of courage for the family members of those women to come forward and speak out on what happened to their loved ones.
Nice piece. Keep it up towards positiveness.ReplyDelete

Eagles QB Foles will start against Raiders
Foles expected to start Sunday vs. Raiders
Nick Foles this season: 52 of 90 passing for 622 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions. (AP)
Programming note: Watch Wednesday's Raiders press conference with Dennis Allen and Terrelle Pryor streaming live online right here at 1:10pm
Quarterback Nick Foles will start against the Raiders on Sunday. Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly made that announcement on Wednesday, a day after the backup quarterback was cleared to practice following a concussion suffered Oct. 20 against Dallas.
Kelly also formally ruled starter Michael Vick out of Sunday's game, although he was previously doubtful after re-aggravating a hamstring injury on Sunday.
[RELATED: NFL Week 8: What we learned]
Foles has played in five games and made two starts. He's 52-for-90 passing for 622 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions. He was unstoppable in a start against Tampa Bay, where he had a 133 quarterback rating. He played terribly the next week against Dallas. Foles completed 38 percent of his passes and was sacked three times.
A day after saying Foles and rookie Matt Barkley -- forced into action that past two weeks despite little on-field prep -- would split first-team reps, Kelly said Foles would take them while preparing for the Raiders.

THE threat of prescribed asset classes for pension funds, recommended as a policy for adoption at the African National Congress's (ANC's) national electoral conference, has receded and the party looks unlikely to push for legislation on the matter.
The conference is expected to discuss "directing" the resources of savings and retirement funds into infrastructure investment, either voluntarily or by compulsion. But Thaba Mufamadi, an ANC national executive committee member who serves on the party's economic transformation committee, has said in an interview recently that the committee believes "the door should be left open" on the issue.
"We've had interactions with the Banking Association and their response was that they are willing to participate in infrastructure investments in partnership with government," he said. "We welcome that ."
MD of the Banking Associations Cas Coovadia last week called on delegates attending the ANC conference to be aware that their policy decisions could have a negative effect on banks. The ANC is under pressure from its members and political partners to do more to improve the socioeconomic conditions of disadvantaged South Africans.
Rating agencies have downgraded all the big banks this year, after they lowered SA's sovereign rating on concerns about economic policy uncertainty.
Abandoning talk on prescribed asset classes is only the view of the ANC's economic transformation committee. In a commission on economic policy, which began deliberating at the party's conference on Monday, delegates could still push for the adoption of the policy. But the momentum has gone out of the debate.
South Africa's pension funds do, in any event, invest extensively in infrastructure and government and state-owned enterprise bonds, which are regarded as a good fixed income source. Figures from the Reserve Bank showed that last year 21% of the R4.5-trillion pool of household savings was invested in government and state-owned enterprise bonds.
But intervention in the mining industry and the future shape and governance of parastatals will still feature high on the economic policy commission's agenda. The "strategic nationalisation" punted by many in the ANC means acting according to the evidence in each particular case.
It further refers to the designation of a list of minerals as "strategic" for industrialisation and beneficiation, over which the government could impose price controls and duties. Higher taxes for the mining industry — on which there is still debate in the ANC over the precise form — are also expected to be endorsed by the conference.
A new governance model for state-owned enterprises, which would allow "greater shareholder activism", is also likely to be accepted. This means less autonomy for boards of directors.
Mr Mufamadi, who is also chairman of the ANC's committee on state-owned enterprises, said achieving this would probably involve changes to the "legal environment". The Companies Act imposed obligations that needed to be "balanced" with the government's policy objectives.
"Companies listed on the JSE are different to state-owned enterprises," Mr Mufamadi said. "There must be a distinction between the role and mandate of the state-owned enterprise and the shareholder.
"We need to find a way to synchronise that with the Companies Act.… The boards of state-owned companies need to be in line with what the shareholder expects."
Recent months have seen increasing ructions between the boards of state-owned enterprises and Cabinet ministers representing the government as a shareholder. This has led to mass resignations of directors from telecoms utility Telkom and South African Airways.
The tensions are, in large part, a result of the government's desire to exert greater control over the strategic plans of state-owned enterprises as it grapples with joblessness. Such duties are usually the preserve of boards of directors.
In the past few years, state-owned companies and development finance institutions have taken a central role in the ANC's and the government's vision for building the economy.
The findings of a Presidential Review Commission on state-owned enterprises, which was completed several months ago, have not yet been publicised. However, it is believed that many of the recommendations in its report are in line with the new governance approach being advocated in the ANC.

I have a dual-boot (win 98/win 200) machine. Among other devices I have
three hard drives: 1) Win 98 Boot, 2) Win 2000 Boot, 3) Data.
I'm running audio recording software on both operating systems, but
each needs to read/write data from/to the Data drive. The two operating
systems decide the drive letters for me and they're not the same for
each. I need to force the drive letters for the Data drive so that for
each boot the letter of the Data drive is consistent. Plus, I don't
want the drive letters to suddenly rearrange if I decide to plug in
another hard drive or CD drive in the future.
Is there a way to separately enforce the drive letters for Win 98 and
Win 2k?

A former mayor of Berwick has raised parking concerns about plans to build 11 new flats in the town centre.
Alan Bowlas has lodged an objection to an application for six two-bed flats and five single-bed flats on Marygate, behind Caffe Nero.
Edinburgh-based Arboretum Village Property Co wants to demolish a former print workshop to make way for the flats.
Mr Bowlas, of nearby Bankhill, said: "There is no on-site parking due to its locations. This means in theory there could be an additional 11+ applications for residents permits to park on Marygate and elsewhere in town, adding to an already difficult parking situation."
He has also objected to the scale and height of the proposal which he believes should be reduced by at least four flats so it is only two storeys high.
However, no objections have been raised by Annette Reeves, conservation officer at Northumberland County Council.
A report to planners states: "The residential proposal adopts the same footprint as the existing building and retains and enlarges the courtyard. This ensures that the new building will have no more impact on neighbouring buildings than the existing building."

Bull City Peanut Butter Porter
RATINGS: 4 MEAN: 3.17/5.0 WEIGHTED AVG: 2.92/5 SEASONAL: Special ABV: -
This is the home brew competition winning recipe submitted by Ryan Weir in August of this year. His version tasted just like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. Our version tastes like someone got peanut butter in my porter. Having never worked with peanut butter in beer, but extensively with jelly on bread, we really dug deep to find research and notes on brewing with peanut butter. Lo and behold, we found absolutely nothing! In our batch we were afraid of gumming things up with real peanut butter, plus all that peanut oil would kill the head on a beer, so instead we used a product called PB2. This is a defatted peanut flour that when mixed with water looks and tastes like peanut butter, or so they say. It sure smells like it and we think you will enjoy this unique one time brew. Thanks Ryan for expanding our horizons and teaching us something new, and congratulations on being the 2012 home brew winner. Hops Used: Northern Brewer, Goldings

Cayuga County residents on Tuesday can learn more about the Emerson Foundation's $3.5 to $4 million plan to turn the main pavilion at Emerson Park on Owasco Lake into a year-round destination venue.
Project architects and engineers will share the preliminary design plan with the public at a 4 to 6 p.m. hearing at the pavilion. Residents can comment at the meeting.
"We want to see if there's some ideas or thoughts we missed,'' said Daniel Fessenden, the foundation's executive director.
The foundation has committed to financing most of the project. The county was asked to provide in-kind services and last month authorized hiring an Ithaca caterer to run year-round events at the pavilion starting in 2012.
Here's what is planned for the pavilion, according to Fessenden:
Enlarging the main kitchen and adding a satellite kitchen so the pavilion can cater more than one event at the same time.
Improving the heating and ventilation systems and adding air conditioning.
Making needed exterior repairs to preserve the historic building.
Adding a smaller dining room for more intimate gatherings.
Improving pedestrian and vehicular access to the pavilion and increasing accessibility for people with disabilities.
County officials support the plan, which Fessenden said must meet state historic and preservation guideless because the building is a landmark.
"I think it's great for the county as a whole and for the future of the park. What's not to be excited about?'' said legislator Roger Mills, whose legislative district includes the park at the north end of Owasco Lake.
County Legislature Chairman Peter Tortorici thanked the foundation for its help and said the county will contribute about $200,000 of in-kind services, including landscaping and roadwork for the project.
Tortorici said he believes transforming the pavilion into a year-round destination venue will lure more people from outside the county and dovetail with growing local efforts to boost tourism with Merry-Go-Round Playhouse theater at the park and a planned summer music festival. "
That is the foundation's hope in addition to preserving the integrity of the building, Fessenden said.
"We want the facility to be much more of a destination venue. We want it to be capable of attracting guests and visitors to special events at a very well maintained and operated facility,'' Fessenden said.

The site was about 50 feet off of the road.
An investigation is underway.

Every day young athletes take the field in high impact sports. Now research is fielding more data on the impact hard hits are having on their future health.
"Because of the more recent lawsuits and other more widely publicized suicides and other events, the public has become much more aware of what's going on here," says Dr. Dean Lin, a neurosurgeon with Lee Memorial Health System.
The CDC estimates as many as 3.8 million athletes suffer a concussion each year in the U.S. and one if five high school football players experience a similar hard knock. The danger lies in cumulative damage.
"Those are the situations where you could lead to the chronic traumatic and encephalopathy, where years and years of cumulative damage lead down the road to changes that cause the emotional problems, the depression," says Dr. Lin.
Only time heals a concussion, but there is wide debate over how long someone should sit out following a head hit. In young athletes, the highest risk involves second impact syndrome.
"Their brain is not as mature say as what we would consider an average NFL football player, their brains would react really differently to a head injury. A second head injury coming in very close proximity could be severe with devastating consequences," says Dr. Lin.
As in most sports, the best defense is a good offense.
"The player needs to understand that if you're having any sort of problems, head aches, dizziness, nausea, difficulty with concentration, any sort of blurry vision, you need to let somebody know," says Dr. Lin.
Because kids may not be as head strong as they think.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- The Grand Rapids Social Security office announced on Tuesday, Nov. 13, that its office hours will be cut to help curb overtime charges.
Beginning on Nov. 19, the office will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday — a reduction of 30 minutes each day.
In addition, the office will be closed to the public at noon on Wednesdays, beginning Jan. 2, 2013.
"While agency employees will continue to work their regular hours, this shorter public window will allow them to complete face-to-face interviews and process claims work without incurring the cost of overtime," Carmen Moreno, Social Security regional communications director, said in a news release. "The significantly reduced funding provided by Congress under the continuing resolution for the first six months of the fiscal year makes it impossible for the agency to provide the overtime needed to handle service to the public as it has done in the past."
The office, along with other Social Security offices throughout Michigan, will also be closed on Nov. 23 – the day after Thanksgiving.
"As we did last year, employees working that day will focus on reducing backlogged workloads," Moreno said.
Most Social Security services do not require a visit to a local office.
