How To Profit From Backwardation 0 commentsEarlier this year, I wrote about contango, the commodities market situation where longer-dated futures contracts are trading above the current spot price. This can happen with any commodity under the sun, but in most cases, I'd bet that investors know a little something about contango as it pertains to energy commodities, such as crude oil and natural gas.
As I mentioned in that piece, there is a reverse of contango known as backwardation. Backwardation is when current prices of a commodity trade higher than longer-dated contracts. I bring this up because West Texas Intermediate futures have moved into backwardation for the first time in roughly three years. Personally, I'm not celebrating nor degrading the fact that WTI has moved into backwardation if for no other reason than the spread between WTI and Brent Crude is still wide and the latter is really the global standard. Personal feelings aside...
If you happened to recently purchase the controversial U.S. Oil Fund (NYSE: USO), congrats. That was a shrewd move because USO has been rocked by contango in recent years, leading to steep losses even while WTI prices have surged. As long as backwardation is around, USO will be in the spotlight, and for positive reasons for once, because the ETF sells the front month contracts to purchase longer-dated contracts. Now that that's a profitable endeavor, USO investors should finally be pleased after several years of suffering.
Long story short, USO is one option for profiting from backwardation. I still like oil equities and the ETFs that track them. That statement may seem bold, almost brazen assuming that what the commodities market is telling us today proves accurate and that is crude prices will be lower in several months than the roughly $90 per barrel for which oil goes for today.
My logic is pretty simple economics and we've actually seen it at play this year. When oil prices are in the $110-$120 per barrel area, that's when consumers say "Enough is enough." In other words, it may seem like a good idea to own shares of Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) or the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (NYSE: XOP) when oil is $120 a barrel, but it's not all it's cracked up to be.
Alright, so I've outlined the theoretical line in the sand where oil consumers halt consumption, but there is price area where producers and consumers are comfortable, sort of. That is the $85-$95 per barrel neighborhood. Faced with the specter of $120 oil, oil consumers are inclined to view $90 a barrel as a decent deal and faced with consumption decreases at $120, producers don't mind selling for $85, $89, whatever because those prices are still quite high by historical standards.
That's today's economics lessons. Today's profit opportunity for backwardation is equity-based ETFs. There's no shortage of oil sector ETFs out there, but I prefer XOP and I certainly prefer XOP to USO.
Not only does XOP have a reasonable expense ratio, it's home to a few potential takeover targets AND the oil names conservative investors usually like. Not to mention, XOP is a great unleveraged ETF for active traders. Oh yeah, XOP has been on a roll lately and that was before the backwardation situation came about. See, you can profit with or without backwardation.

Scott A. Dyer
U.S. Marine Corps / Bronze Star with Valor
Marine reservist plays key roll in battles to take Nasiriyah
Capt. Scott Dyer had planned to spend the spring semester of 2003 in law school. Instead, he ended up perched in the turret of his M-1 Abrams tank, "Dark Side," firing a .50-cal machine gun during the biggest battle of the early days of the Iraq war.
Dyer was executive officer for Company A, 8th Tanks, a reserve unit based in Louisville, Ky. Called to war at virtually the last minute, Dyer hustled to get the Marines and equipment ready to deploy; the commanding officer, Maj. Bill Peeples, chartered a bus that got Company A to Camp Lejeune only a day prior to its departure for Kuwait.
Just four days into the invasion of Iraq, as they and other tank commanders led 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines past the villages and agricultural fields just south of Nasiriyah, Dyer suddenly heard the loud sounds of artillery shells hitting a field just to the left. Dyer spun and saw black smoke boiling into the clear sky.
Within seconds, Iraqi machine gun and small arms fire hit near them. Dyer saw the barrel of a machine gun firing from one of the farmhouses lining both sides of the road.
"Keep moving!" he was ordered, and the tanks returned fire at the farmhouses as they moved towards the city.
As the tanks drove, Cpl. Charles Bell, Dyer's gunner, was firing his coaxial machine gun and looking for targets for the main gun. "Target acquired," he shouted. "Truck at 700 meters!"
Dyer looked at the target. The Marines had been warned about Iraqis painting their trucks to look like American vehicles. And something about this one just didn't look right. He fortuitously told Bell to hold fire, and a Humvee, so badly shot up that its tires were on fire, limped out of the smoke.
An Army captain -Troy King, commander of the Army's 507th Maintenance Battalion – jumped out of it and began screaming for help. He'd left 15 vehicles and most of his soldiers behind, lost in the city.
Advised by radio of the situation, the battalion commander barked his orders to Dyer: "You've got to get them."
Dyer and Peeples took their tanks forward, and a few miles ahead found two groups of soldiers under attack. Dyer maneuvered his tank between the Iraqis and the soldiers and began to drive the enemy back with machine-gun fire. But as more Iraqis rushed the tanks, even Dyer's heavy fire appeared inadequate.Immediate air support was requested and, within minutes, Cobra gunships were making multiple strafing runs from near-treetop levels.
With the soldiers rescued, Dyer and Peeples moved their tanks to the rear to refuel. Suddenly, however, the commander was back on the radio: The tanks were needed up front, pronto. The battalion had been ordered to attack into the city after Iraqi tanks were spotted guarding a bridge the Marines needed to cross.
With some tanks fueled and others not, they rushed north again, ignoring the thick black smoke from the burning 507th vehicles as they moved to the front of the column to lead the Marines into the city.
Dyer and three other tanks moved to the Euphrates River Bridge, where Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines were fighting off waves of Iraqi attackers. One tank wheeled left and began firing its big gun at the rocket-propelled grenade gunners hiding in the buildings.
With three rounds, Dyer took out three buildings. Soon, though, a barrage of rocket-propelled grenades enveloped the tank and its guns fell silent, a huge cloud of smoke completely obscuring the 70-ton Abrams. Finally, the tank lurched forward and used its main gun to blast the building into rubble.
More trouble, however, was ahead. Another radio call, this one garbled, pleaded for help: "Charlie Company is being slaughtered north of the Saddam Canal Bridge … we need help now." Dyer and Peeples roared north to assist.
Marines had been attacked, both by both Iraqis and by "friendly fire" from Air Force A-10s. Peeples kept his tank with Charlie Company while Dyer's, now the lead Marine unit, moved another mile north. With Dyer on his machine gun and with more air support, the road was secured until more Marines arrived the next morning.
Andrew Lubin is a freelance writer from Pennsylvania who has embedded with the Marine Corps in Iraq; Afghanistan; Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; and Beirut, Lebanon. He is the author of "Charlie Battery: A Marine Artillery Unit in Iraq."
Scott A. Dyer
U.S. Marine Corps / Bronze Star with Valor
Born January 29, 1969, in Bloomington, Indiana.
Wife, Elizabeth, and one son, Walter.
Enlisted in June 1987, and served one tour of duty in Iraq with Company A, 8th Tanks, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines.
What he did:
Manned his M-1 Abrams tank through a series of key battles as the Marine Corps fought to capture Nasiriyah, an Iraqi stronghold on the road to Baghdad.
Where he is now:
Dyer retired as a Captain, and now practices law in Louisville, Kentucky.
Why he joined the Marines:
"I met a Marine recruiter who suggested that since I was 17 and had an 'attitude,' we needed to talk. … After six hours with him, I realized that the Marine Corps offered me everything I was looking to do in my life."

With only 10 days remaining until the congressional supercommittee must present a plan on how to cut the nation's deficit by $1.2 trillion, the panel remains divided.
A frustrated President Obama called on the committee to "do the responsible thing," and show more flexibility.
"It feels as if people continue to try to stick with their rigid positions rather than solve the problem," Obama said of the 12 members of the bipartisan deficit committee.
"My hope is that over the next several days, the congressional leadership on the supercommittee go ahead and bite the bullet and do what needs to be done, because the math won't change. There's no magic formula," the president added.
Aware of the economic and political consequences of failure, lawmakers are toying with the idea deferring a tax deal until next year.
"There could be a two-step process that would hopefully give us pro-growth tax reform," Rep.Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas told CNN Sunday.
Should the panel fail to reach an agreement, a series of cuts from military and civilian programs would automatically take effect in 2013 - something many fear would trigger a stock market sell-off.

The John Pete Checker Tournament was held June 29 at the Ramsay Pavilion in Woodland Park.
The tournament is named for former resident John Pete, who spent time in the park teaching children how to play checkers. The tournament, named in his honor, is held as part of the summer recreational program at the park. Pete was a village resident, was retired from McDonald Steel and would challenge people to checker tournaments at the park.
Pete spent his retirement years in the park in the 1950s and 60s. The tournament has been held in the village for more than 25 years, according to Jack Evans of the McDonald Historical Society.
He loved to play the game and would play anyone no matter what their age, said Cindy Green, recreational director.
Winners in age division 6 and 7 was Samuel Gibbons; age division 8 and 9 was Taylor Tuchek; and age division 10 and 11 was Elliot Gibbons. There were 19 participants in the tournament.
The winners of the tournament will be announced during the Fireman's Festival breakfast on Saturday.
Additional park summer activities include:
All information and sign-up forms for programs can be obtained from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each weekday at the municipal building.
For information contact Cindy Green at 330-530-5472.

Staff from the Training Division and Central Precinct analyzed the circumstances surrounding the failures and concluded that the safest course of action was to transition to the exclusive use of the 9mm Glock handgun. The Police Bureau has not experienced the same type of failures with the 9mm model as it has with the Glock .45 caliber handgun. The Chief concurred with the recommendation.
The Portland Police Training Division, with the assistance of Glock Inc., will exchange all .45 caliber pistols with the 9mm models. The Police Bureau has authorized the use of the .45 caliber Glock Model 21 handgun since 1992 and approximately two hundred and fifty officers are currently carrying the Model 21 pistol.
The transition to the 9mm handguns will be handled in such a manner as to ensure that officers continue to provide the same level of service to the community.

What materials did you use? My husband helped me with making my dress form yesterday. It took us 4 hours, but he really tried to make it perfect. It turned out good, but I think we maybe should have left it dry a little more, because in certain areas it wanted to colapse. When I seen it it was like OMG, is that what I look like, no wonder I can fit patterns to myself. I don't like what I see, but it is me. I guess I am kind of shaped like a bubble bee....hence my dress form is now named Bee....
Great job, and thanks to your hubby!
I think you husband did a great jog do you rent him out as I would like to do a dress from for me lol
Thanks, my husband joked about renting him out...he is a good man think I will keep him,
Looks fab. I agree with you, when I saw my "double" I was so surprised. My mental image of what I see in the mirror is totally not a match!
Yesterday, I actually measured myself as per your instructions. I found that my paper dress form is a little bigger tan me. How could this be as my husand applied to my body. Am I measuring wrong, or should he have applied the paper tighter. It felt like it was tight when he applied the tape. Will this even matter? I would rather my tops be a little bigger than too small.

Rules have to change
Published 16/03/2014 | 02:30
Madam – Emer O'Kelly, (Sunday Independent, March 9, 2014), has embraced the frustrating fallacy that having female quotas in politics will lead all of us to regard any woman achieving political office as a token woman, having achieved her position because of a quota rather than because of her ability.
Such a belief is only possible if it is the case that all of the male incumbents are in their positions because they are the best person for the job by reason of ability.
But in politics, just as in business, achieving status is not just about ability, but about ambition, connections, name-recognition and a myriad other things which have nothing to do with being the best person for the job.
How many male politicians have achieved office because they are part of a political dynasty rather than because they have done anything noteworthy?
How many businessmen have found themselves moving up the ladder because of the school they went to, or the golf club they joined?
In business, those who play football on the company team have a marked advantage over those who could not. And the same applies to men who join golf clubs that bar women.
The infamous 'marriage bar', which wasn't lifted from the public sector until the 1970s, deprived the State of the talents of the women who left – but more importantly, it left a generation without female role models and a generation after that whose route to the top was blocked by the fact that all the senior positions were occupied by men, while their female colleagues had yet to progress out of secretarial roles.
The rules of the game were devised by men for men and until the rules are changed women will continue to lag behind for reasons which have nothing to do with ability or tokenism, and everything to do with a system that was never designed to encourage them.

Wendy Stayman
Wendy Stayman has been a furniture designer since 1981. She began formal training for her artistic career when she matriculated as a ceramic design student at Alfred University and then in fine arts at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In 1970 she received a BA in history of art from the University of Pennsylvania. Stayman then apprenticed herself to a furniture restorer and in 1974, receiving funding from the William Penn Foundation, took a two-year fellowship in museum conservation at the University Museum, University of Pennsylvania. In 1978, with funding from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and Queen's University, Stayman earned a master's degree in the conservation of museum objects from Queen's University, Ontario, during which time she completed two internships – one at the Pacific Regional Conservation Center in Honolulu and one at the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore. Stayman returned to the University Museum as Assistant Conservator. In 1980 she enrolled in an evening woodworking-for-beginners class, taught by Leonard Hilgner at the Philadelphia College of Art, and took a woodworking identification workshop from Bruce Hoadley at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. In 1981 Stayman requested a leave-of-absence from the University Museum and, with a second fellowship from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, enrolled at the Wendell Castle Workshop (now incorporated into the Rochester Institute of Technology) to refine her woodworking skills.
This was a pivotal decision in Stayman's career. The Wendell Castle Workshop, which equally emphasized furniture design and woodworking technique, once again deeply engaged Stayman in the creative process. Wendell Castle, with the instructors and guest lecturers he enlisted for the school, provided a highly stimulating environment in which Stayman explored her own creativity in the medium of wood, thriving on the exciting range of technique, problem solving, and design realization that the school offered. Earning a Chris Wilson Scholarship and Artist-in-Residence Award, Stayman remained at the school for three years, graduating with an Associate of Occupational Studies in Furniture Making in 1983 and receiving the school's 3D Award. During this time Stayman had commenced showing and selling pieces.
In 1984 Stayman moved to Massachusetts where she continues her museum and design work. In 1988 she was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Visual Artist Fellowship. She does predominantly speculative work. Her work, which is almost exclusively one-of-a-kind or limited edition, sells to private and corporate clients. She has pieces in major private collections and in public institutions including the Smith College Art Museum, The Museum of Arts and Design, and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution.
Stayman's pieces are characterized as traditional in form and usefulness, and she views her work in the very broad context of museum artifact collections. Often referred to as architectural and linear, her pieces are highly refined, and of superior technical quality. Her use of color is restrained with a preferred emphasis on texture and material. Stayman's furniture designs are imbued with the influences of many years of intimate work with diverse museum collections (archeological, ethnographic, fine arts, natural science and history). They are highly investigative and infused with her intense curiosity about a vast array of materials, techniques and processes. Her experimental approach to design is both cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural. She works freely with others who have skills that enable her to realize her artistic vision. Her work is not limited by what she knows, but is an open-ended and ongoing investigative pursuit of her own work as a manifestation of the creative impulse.

Silicon Valley Program
Resume Requirements
Students on the Silicon Valley Program must submit their resume in the approved SVP format. You will find a MS Word version of this format in the link below. The reason for this mandate is simple: by requiring all resumes to comply to the same format, employers reading the book can concentrate on the substance of your resume, not the form. When submitting your resume to employers, you may use whatever version you wish, however it is up to you to make sure that the version you send is completely free from errors, and is consistent with what you submit to the SVP.
The Silicon Valley Program produces a resume book featuring all of the students on the program each semester. In this way, prospective employers can get to know each of you. On occasion, an employer has contacted a student directly through this process. A consistent look in this resume book sends a polished message to those reading the book.
Before submitting your resume to the SVP director for comment, you should:
Format your resume in the approved format
- Approved Format, MS Word Version
- Resume Tips & Tricks
- Read and understand "b." above. This is a document that explains the intricacies of the format in "a."
- Carefully edit your bullet points to highlight your accomplishments at each element on your resume
- Submit your resume to a resume consultant in the Office of Career Services for further comment
- Make sure that any tech-related experiences shine through
- Carefully edit your resume one last time.
- Laszlo Bock PO'92 on Effective Resumes:
Another great source is Mr. Laszlo Bock, VP for People Operations at a little company called Google. Laszlo and his team probably sees 100k resumes per year, so has a good handle on what constitutes an effective resume. He recently wrote a blog post on the topic that can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/article/20140929001534-24454816-my-personal-formula-for-a-better-resume. This entire article is a good (quick!) read. He shows multiple examples of what makes an effective resume bullet point, demonstrating "good," "better," and "best" in a few areas. The transitions from "good" to "best" are illuminating. Spend some time thinking about this as you work on your SVP resume.
- Laszlo Bock PO'92 on Effective Interviewing:
Laszlo is back with six effective hints on interviewing. These pertain to phone, or Google Hangout, or in-person. Also, consider picking up his book. Here's the article.

The Robustness Case for Proportional Liability
Alexander Stremitzer
UCLA School of Law
Avraham D. Tabbach
Tel Aviv University
April 7, 2014
14 The B.E. Journal of Theoretical Economics 371 (2014)
UCLA School of Law, Law-Econ Research Paper No. 14-06
In important areas like medical malpractice and environmental torts, injurers are potentially insolvent and courts may make errors in determining liability (e.g. due to hindsight bias). We show that proportional liability, which holds a negligent injurer liable for harm discounted with the probability that the harm was caused by the injurer's negligence, is less susceptible to these imperfections and therefore socially preferable to all other liability rules currently contemplated by courts. We also provide a result which might be useful to regulators when calculating minimum capital requirements or minimum mandatory insurance for different industries.

REPALEAC Adopts its New Strategic Plan and Road Map
25 January 2013: The Republic of Congo and the Central African Forest Commission (COMIFAC) convened the third General Assembly of the Network of Indigenous and Local Communities for the Sustainable Management of Forest Ecosystems in Central Africa (REPALEAC).
The General Assembly, which convened the 14-16 January, considered ways and means to improve the governance system of REPALEAC in order to enhance the participation of indigenous peoples and local communities in actions toward the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in the region's forests.
The General Assembly also adopted the REPALEAC Strategic Action Plan 2013-2015 and road map, which suggests: enhanced coordination between regional and national networks; the publication of a regional calendar of events; continued support for the involvement of indigenous peoples in international negotiations on forests and forest governance; and enhanced fundraising.
The General Assembly also noted the lack of participation by indigenous women and inadequate funding as obstacles preventing full implementation of the road map.

2014 Premio del Rey
Janina Safran, Pennsylvania State Univ.
Defining Boundaries in al-Andalus: Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Islamic Iberia (Cornell Univ. Press)
Safran's book explores complex issues of ethno-religious identity and communal relations in al-Andalus after the eighth-century Muslim conquest and the implications of the elaboration and maintenance of community boundaries. Using complicated juridical texts, Safran traces how conversion, intermarriage, and acculturation complicated rigid notions of Islamic and non-Islamic identity and reveals the contingent and shifting nature of ethno-religious identity. It is a compelling and sophisticated book with applications beyond al-Andalus and Islamic world.

Coronary heart condition (CHD) is sometimes caused by a build-up of fatty deposits on the walls of the arteries round the heart (coronary arteries).
The fatty deposits, known as fat, area unit created of cholesterol and alternative waste substances.
The build-up of fat on the walls of the coronary arteries makes the arteries narrower and restricts the flow of blood to the center. This method is termed atherosclerosis. Your risk of developing atherosclerosis is considerably redoubled if you:
• Smoke
• have high vital sign (hypertension)
• have a high blood cholesterol level
• do not take regular exercise
• have polygenic disease
Other risk factors for developing atherosclerosis include:
• being corpulent or overweight
• having a case history of CHD – the danger is redoubled if you've got a male family member with CHD underneath fifty five or a sister underneath sixty five.
Cholesterol: Cholesterol could be a fat created by the liver from the saturated fat that we have a tendency to eat. Steroid alcohol is crucial for healthy cells, however if there's an excessive amount of within the blood it will cause CHD.
Cholesterol is carried within the blood stream by molecules known as lipoproteins. There are a unit many differing types of lipoproteins, however 2 of the most ones area unit low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL).
LDL, usually noted as unhealthy steroid alcohol, takes cholesterol from the liver and delivers it to cells. Cholesterol tends to create abreast of the walls of the coronary arteries, increasing your risk of heart condition
HDL, usually noted as "good cholesterol", carries cholesterol far from the cells and back to the liver, wherever it's countermined or passed from the body as a material.
In the UK, this government recommendation is that you simply ought to have a complete blood cholesterol level of but 5mmol/liter, associate degreed an cholesterol level of underneath 3mmol/liter. This could be even lower if you've got symptoms of CHD.

High blood pressure: High blood pressure (hypertension) puts a strain on your heart and might cause CHD.
Blood pressure is measured at 2 points throughout the blood circulation cycle. The blood pressure could be live of your blood pressure because the heart contracts and pumps blood out. The blood pressure could be live of your blood pressure once your heart is relaxed and filling up with blood.
Blood pressure is measured in terms of millimeters of mercury (mmHg). After you have your blood pressure measured, the blood pressure is that the initial, higher variety to be recorded. The blood pressure is that the second, lower variety to be recorded. High blood pressure is outlined as a blood pressure of 140mmHg or additional, or a blood pressure of 90mmHg or additional.

• Blood Pressure UK: guide
Smoking: Smoking could be a major risk issue. Monoxide (from the smoke) and nicotine each place a strain on the center by creating it works quicker. They additionally increase your risk of blood clots.
Other chemicals in coffin nail smoke injury the liner of your coronary arteries, resulting in furring of the arteries. If you smoke, you increase your risk of developing heart condition by pure gold.
Diabetes: While a high blood glucose level does not directly increase the danger of developing CHD, it should cause diabetes, which may over double your risk of developing CHD.
Diabetes will cause CHD as a result of it should cause the liner of blood vessels to become thicker, which may prohibit blood flow.
Thrombosis: An occlusion could be a blood inside associate degree artery (or a vein). If a occlusion happens in an exceedingly arterial blood vessel (coronary thrombosis), it'll cause the artery to slim, preventing the blood provide from reaching the center muscle. This will increase your likelihood of getting a attack. Coronary sometimes happens at a similar place that the atherosclerosis is forming (furring of the coronary arteries).

The S.C. Transportation Infrastructure Bank effectively took out a payday loan for highway construction when it approved additional money for the completion of the Mark Clark Expressway, said Coastal Conservation League leader Dana Beach.
Beach, who is opposed to the extention of Interstate 526, was one of several speakers at a South Carolina Policy Council press conference Wednesday in Charleston.
The conference was unusual for the conservative group in that members of the tea party, an environmentalist and a local civil rights leader all spoke at the event.
Policy Council President Ashley Landess said the conference was held to present a united front in opposition to corruption in state government. She defined corruption as a concentration of power and secrecy, and said actions dont need to be illegal to be corrupt.
Beach said funding for I-526 was a great example of corruption. The seven-member bank board already had approved $420 million for the project, which has not been ranked a state priority.
Then at a meeting this month it approved an additional $138 million for the project, which many local residents have said they dont want. When the board did that, Beach said, it committed money it would borrow after 2020, because it has no bonding capacity left now.
Money for I-526 will take all the banks current resources and a substantial amount of the resources of the next generation, Beach said.
He also said that money from the Infrastructure Bank mostly has gone to projects in counties in which bank board members or those who appointed them live. Its indisputable that the state Transportation Infrastructure Bank is a slush fund, he said.
For instance, he said, Charleston County has received more than $1 billion of the $4 billion the bank has allocated since 1997. Two of the seven bank board members live there, and four of the six elected officials who appoint them also live in Charleston County.
House Speaker Bobby Harrell, a Charleston Republican and staunch supporter of I-526, appoints two members of the bank board. He has said the road is needed to alleviate traffic woes and for safety. He has worked diligently in recent months to bring in money for it.
He said he thinks arguments made at the press conference opposing funding for I-526 are not true.
The Infrastructure Bank has delivered major projects for communities all over our state, from the Lowcountry to the Upstate and across the Midlands to the Pee Dee, he said. This is just the desperate actions by a few who, unlike the vast majority of Lowcountry residents, want to stop the completion of 526.
They have proven there is no depth too low or tactic too underhanded for them in their effort to kill the completion of 526.
Harrell vowed to continue to fight to complete the interstate loop around Charleston.
Landess said I-526 was an example of a corrupt system where a handful of politicians control the Legislature, the judicial branch and most state agencies. What the state needs is across-the-board reform, she said.
In South Carolina, she said, citizens are victimized by politicians who have forgotten for whom they work.

"Four losses, that will wake you up," Knicks center Tyson Chandler said after Sunday's 99-93 over the visiting Philadelphia 76ers, as quoted by Al Iannazzone of Newsday. "We just stopped the bleeding tonight. We had to get out of the slump we were in"
The Knicks did stop the bleeding, and while they weren't perfect (Jrue Holiday had another 30-point might against New York) they didn't buckle under pressure as they had over the recent skid.
Coach Mike Woodson's biggest issue of late had been finding the right rotations, and he may have stumbled upon an answer in the second quarter.
Nate Taylor of The New York Times:
Woodson had been firm in his reluctance to make changes. But during the second quarter Sunday, he put Tyson Chandler on the floor with the reserve crew of Amar'e Stoudemire, J. R. Smith, Steve Novak and Pablo Prigioni. The end result was a 99-93 victory against the Philadelphia 76ersat Madison Square Garden that snapped the Knicks' four-game skid.
The group played exceptionally as a unit, and Stoudemire in particular stood out. He finished with a season-high 22 points and made 9 of his 10 shots from the floor. Prigioni helped the Knicks excel on pick-and-rolls, which created space for Stoudemire to score inside or to pass to an open Smith or Novak on the perimeter. Chandler protected the paint, and the Knicks were strong on the glass.
But just because Woodson staggered the lineup to give the second unit more defensive help doesn't mean the starters are off the hook. As Newsday's Jim Baumbach wrote, Woodson wants more from the starters, too:
But Woodson said he still wants to see more activity from his first unit. And he again left open the possibility of changing the unit in the coming days. "I'm just trying to find a burst with the first unit, to come out and jump on a team and they have to call the first timeout," he said, "and we're not getting that. I can always toss somebody else in there. That's not to say that's going to work either."
The biggest story on Sunday may have been the play of Amar'e Stoudemire, who finished with 22 points in 22 minutes.
"He had a couple of offensive putbacks, that was nice to see where he was around the bucket, being big like he should be," said Woodson, as quoted by Seth Walder of the New York Daily News. "He made his jump shot. He did a little bit of everything. That's what we're going to need him to do the rest of the way."
Again, not everything was perfect. Jason Kidd continued to struggle from the field and the defense on the perimeter still needs work, but for Woodson, it was a step in the right direction.
"I liked the way we played, though," Woodson said, as quoted by Fred Kerber of the New York Post. "The bottom line was we had to win this tonight just to kind of get off this slide."
In other Knicks news:
• NJ.com's Tony Williams finally saw some intensity from the Knicks defense: "Thankfully for the Knicks, their defense was what carried them tonight, as they stymied the Sixers' supporting cast, putting the pressure on point guard Jrue Holiday to shoulder the load with 30 points. He didn't receive much help outside of Evan Turner's 21 points, but that was by design, as New York made sure that guys like Hawes (10 points on 3-of-11 shooting) and Nick Young (scoreless) never felt comfortable."
• ESPNNewYork.com's Ian Begley wrote about a brief skirmish between Chandler and a few 76ers players: "Midway through the third, Anthony hit Philly center Spencer Hawes in the back of the head. Hawes took umbrage and approached Anthony. Tyson Chandler came over and shoved Hawes away from Anthony... Referees had to separate the two centers. Both Hawes and Chandler received technical fouls for the dustup. Anthony was whistled for a flagrant."
• The Wall Street Journal's Chris Herring wondered if the Knicks have what it takes to win the Atlantic: "Even the Sixers—the one Atlantic team the Knicks clinched the season series against by beating three out of four times—blew out New York in a late January meeting between the clubs. In that game, a 97-80 shellacking in late January, Philadelphia's Jrue Holiday did as he pleased in picking apart the Knicks' defense, scoring a career-high 35 points... That game and the two recent losses to the Raptors were indicative of the evenhanded nature of this season's Atlantic Division; a division the Knicks are trying to win for the first time since 1993-94."
• Kerber also wrote about Kenyon Martin's first game with the Knicks: Martin, who signed a 10-day contract Friday, said he was aware he would not play last night... Martin provides the team with good insurance with foot injuries to bigs Marcus Camby and Rasheed Wallace. And he laughed about joining the Knicks' graybeards... 'I'm 35. I'm young around here,' he said."

The Winter Guest
For a split second this film got some bonus points from me because there's a scene where Emma Thompson is taking a bath and the director, Alan Rickman, is kind enough to make sure the camera catches some totally unnecessary nipplege. However, at the same time it also reveals something horrifying: Emma hasn't shaved her pits. Emma Thompson has hairy pits!
This whole female faux pas emanates from the fact that this in-your-face artistic film is based on a play, which demonstrates a remarkable lack of common sense on the part of everybody involved. It's simple: if a play was meant to be a film, it wouldn't have been a play in the first place. People who go around turning plays into films aren't smart enough to find their own stories, so they've got to go butcher the medium of cinema to deal with their personal inadequacies.
Rickman is obviously one of these guys. Not satisfied with acting, he's now taken to directing and chosen this nothing little tale of a mother (Phyllida Law) and her daughter (Emma Thompson), and their unfolding relationship during a cold day in Scotland. The entirety of the film consists mostly of them whining at each other and some other scenes with three different pairs of characters.
But back to the pits, which are the most obvious of metaphors for this film's problems. I don't want to see Emma's hairy pits. In fact, I don't want to even know they're there. There's no argument in the world that can convince me that the price of realism in cinema is hairy pits. I'll bet everything I own there were no hairy pits in the stage play, which demonstrates just exactly what kind of price we have to pay for some of these adaptations.

At best, cerebral dysfunction, or "brain damage" as it is commonly called, is a difficult diagnostic category. Acute dysfunction with obvious gross measures of neurological handicap is often not difficult to diagnose, but the elusive and multicategorical phenomena of minimal cerebral dysfunction are another problem. As yet there is no clearly defined diagnostic entity for this category. Rather, we find many different lists of symptoms depending on the various backgrounds and professional training of the diagnosticians. In a sense, there are heterogeneous etiologies and heterogeneous symptomatology represented in this broad generalization used for labeling of a confusing disorder. This particular book does a special service to the professional community. Instead of adding to the impressive lists of books that attempt to describe and deal with brain dysfunction as a specific diagnostic entity with specific symptoms and methods of amelioraion, it begins to raise some of the questions that need to be asked!

Soldier looks back at experience
By Howell Dennis
MERMENTAU – Norris Leger of Mermentau has a very different view of Memorial Day than the majority of Americans. Leger, a World War II veteran, took part what is widely considered to be the battle that turned the tide of the war. On June 6, 1944 (D-Day) his company made landfall on Utah Beach as part of the Normandy Invasion.
Leger, 87, earned the Purple Heart, Silver Citation, and Unit Citation honors for his service. He was hurt about a week following the invasion as a piece of shrapnel went though his hand. If you ask him though, he considers himself to be quite lucky.
"One piece actually came falling down and literally landed in my shirt pocket," he said. "What are the chances of that?"
As he and his fellow soldiers were making that treacherous towards Utah beach ride in their small boats (like the one's they had in Saving Private Ryan), as nervous as Leger must have been he still couldn't help but realize what a small world it was.
"Everyone was really quiet and nervous," he said. "I spoke briefly with the man next to me and asked where he was from. Turns out he was from Church Point. I didn't speak to him for years but we got together a few months back."
Leger became a teacher after the war, teaching 6th grade at Crowley Middle School until his retirement in 1976. He was among those veterans who took the initial HonorAir trip which is devoted to bringing all World War II veterans to view the World War II museum in Washington.
He and his wife Dora raised three children Kay, Kenneth, and Gwen. Norris and Dora were married for fifty years before Dora passed away.
These days Leger enjoys spending time with his family and working around his Mermentau home. His experiences during the war, however, will always be with him.
"I can remember it like it was yesterday," he said.

The Structure of the Fiduciary Relationship
Larry E. Ribstein (Deceased)
University of Illinois College of Law; PERC - Property and Environment Research Center
January 4, 2003
U Illinois Law & Economics Research Paper No. LE03-003
Fiduciary duties might be said to grow out of a variety of relationships involving one party's exercise of some measure of control. Fiduciary duties therefore are "structural" in the sense that they arise from the structure of the parties' relationship rather than from the parties' individual attributes, such as ignorance and lack of sophistication. This view of fiduciary duties is bound with the contractual nature of fiduciary duties. Moreover, this article shows that there are significant costs in extending fiduciary duties beyond the specific situation in which they are most appropriate - that involving clear separation of management powers and ownership. Extending fiduciary duties beyond this paradigm case increases litigation and contracting costs, decreases the effectiveness of owners' governance rights, and dilutes true fiduciaries' legal and extralegal incentives.

Keith MacDonald
When it comes to nonovernight-success stories, it would be hard to beat pianist Keith MacDonald. "By the time I was 6, I had heard most of the best pit orchestras in the country," he writes. "My father was The Great Lester,' a vaudeville magician-illusionist, and my mother, a former ballet dancer, was his assistant." While a student at North Plainfield (N.J.) High School, MacDonald led several swing bands. After serving in World War II, he studied music on the Gl Bill, then got married and had two kids. "Although I never stopped playing jazz," he says, "I had to be concerned with supporting my family. During a 20-year period I did everything a pianist can do to make a living.... I accompanied tap dancers and glee clubs, singers and comedians, played organ and directed choirs, played classical recitals ... and hundreds and hundreds of weddings." After his first marriage broke up MacDonald married a woman who urged him to devote himself to the "music that meant something to me." In 1982, playing at a memorial concert for pianist Bill Evans (a schoolmate at North Plainfield High) led to a booking at the Kool Jazz Festival. That led to club exposure and to this record, MacDonald's first, at 60. It should not be his last. His playing is gentle, affectionate and unpretentious, yet polished and thoughtful. His harmonic sensitivity recalls Evans, while his links to tradition are evident in his left hand—such as a bit of boogie-woogie bass that walks through When Your Lover Has Gone. MacDonald remolds familiar tunes in a personal way. A good example is his recumbently luxuriant These Foolish Things. The album is like a raft trip down a winding river, lush with overhanging foliage. About the middle of side two a listener begins to long for a run of rapids, but that apparently isn't MacDonald's thing. It doesn't matter. No one is going to fall asleep en route. (Landmark)

Ann Jillian Finally Can't Kick—Her Showbiz Career Is More Than 'Making a Living'
Few performers ever reach the top without a voracious hunger for fame, and Ann Jillian, at 31, has tasted enough success these past years to whet an already formidable appetite. Last season she fetched up as Cassie, the brassily man-hungry blonde of ABC's sitcom about waitresses, It's a Living. Jillian snagged most of the notices, but the show went cold in the Nielsens and was sent back to the kitchen. Recast (Louise Lasser is the new headliner) and renamed Making a Living, the sitcom still faces a tough future when it returns this fall against CBS's supercharged Dukes of Hazzard. That just makes Jillian even more eager. "There are girls out there 24 years old, and that's a tough comparison for a woman in her 30s," she frets. "I hope my attributes will be preserved for a good while, but I feel my time has come and, without being snotty about it, deservedly so."
Indeed Ann has been a trouper since age 4, and her dues have been paid—notably during her breakthrough role in the smash Broadway musical Sugar Babies. As the "Bird Lady" of the slapshtiky burlesque farce, Ann sang nightly with 14 pigeons perched on her curvaceously revealing costume. The birds' reaction sometimes seemed critical, but the problem was really alimentary. "Everyone told me it meant good luck," she sighs, and everyone was right. She became the darling of Sugar Babies star Mickey Rooney, who had recommended her for the role after she appeared with him in a 1978 Chicago production of Goodnight Ladies. She says Rooney was never more than her mentor. "We got close in that he obviously took a liking to what he thought was attractive," says Ann, who was, and is, very married. "Mickey and I had a beautiful kind of love affair that was not what people would say is a love affair. My heart just goes out to him."
The attention Jillian received from Sugar Babies co-star Ann Miller was of a different sort. The trouble began when Miller hurt her ankle and Jillian, with an expanded role, got reviews in San Francisco that were perhaps too good. In short order, says Jillian, "My first solo got cut, my costumes changed, and by the time we got to New York I'd gone from third lead to head chorus girl." She suspects that Miller, who "continually referred to me as 'the blonde' or 'Mickey's protégée,' " felt threatened. "I understood it," Jillian says now. "It's like a territorial imperative, and Ann was gracious when the time came to be."
Jillian began training for such occupational hazards as a youngster. Her immigrant parents, who fled Lithuania by bicycle after World War II, settled in L.A. There, her father worked as a machinist, and her mother pushed Ann into showbiz. By 1961 she was playing with Annette Funicello and Ray Bolger in a Radio City Music Hall production of Babes in Toyland. The next year, at 12, she starred with Natalie Wood and Rosalind Russell in Gypsy, the sharp film critique of stage mothers. Jillian defends her own. "I couldn't have asked for a better childhood," she says. "I was dressed in beautiful costumes and envied by a lot of kids."
Puberty ended all that. "I shot up in height," recalls Jillian, now 5'8", "and nothing fit together. I started taking rejections so personally that I left the business." After graduation from Taft High School, she worked for two dispiriting years in the draperies section of an L.A. department store. Then she tried again. As half of a song-and-dance act with singer Debra Shulman, she opened lounge shows for entertainers such as Robert Goulet and Johnnie Ray. Going solo in 1975, she began her long climb as a singing waitress in a San Francisco gay bar.
Two years later, in a Chicago show called Words and Music, it seemed her admirers hadn't changed. "I told her I was gay so she would move in with me," laughs husband Andy Murcia, who was a Chicago cop moonlighting as a bouncer when he met Jillian at a disco. A few days later he sent her a huge bouquet of flowers signed, "To my star, Love, Andy the Sarge." But, Ann grins, "When I found another card inside saying, 'Happy Birthday Boo Boo,' I realized he had sent me hot flowers." Nevertheless, the ploy worked. They married in 1977, and Andy quit the force to become Ann's manager. He has recently been replaced by starmaker Joyce Selznick, but he remains her happy house-husband and biggest booster. While they're looking for a house, Ann and Andy now share a tiny San Fernando Valley apartment, where the only pets are their names for each other—Killer (him) and Baby. Career plans preclude kids right now—and just about everything else. In addition to Making a Living, she's looking for movie roles. "We're a cohesive unit working toward one goal," says Jillian. "Yeah," Andy laughingly interjects. "To make more money."

Blazetic paces Edinboro women over Cal
CALIFORNIA, Pa. -- Samantha Blazetic recorded her fourth double-double of the season to lead the Edinboro women to a 70-51 victory over previously undefeated California Saturday.
Blazetic, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference's leading scorer, recorded 21 points, pulled down 13 rebounds and blocked four shots in a game in which the Fighting Scots (5-2) never trailed.
After shooting better than 40 percent in each game this season, the Vulcans (5-1) struggled to score against Edinboro, finishing the contest shooting 26 percent (16-of-61) from the floor.
Freshman forward Aignee Freeland had 18 points and eight rebounds for the Scots, while teammate Darche' Jackson chipped in with a career-high 12 assists.

Little Rock
Long photo shoots were only the start. On her way to earning the Top Model title, Danielle Evans endured hospitalization (for dehydration and exhaustion brought on by a 22-hour flight to Thailand, site of the show's final four episodes) and elective oral surgery (to close the gap between her front teeth). So how did she celebrate her win? "I slept," says Evans. "Like, the whole entire day."
No doubt she dreamt about fashion. "I've wanted to be a model since I was 12, but not just a model—a supermodel," says the nearly 6-ft.-tall Evans. Her prizes—signing with Ford Models, a $100,000 CoverGirl contract and a spread in Elle—should prove a good start, but what will really set the UPN series' sixth winner apart? "Danielle has an amazing attitude. She took what we said in judging and made it work in her photos," says creator Tyra Banks. Indeed, all four judges consistently praised Evans's pictures, focusing their criticism on her heavy southern twang—unbecoming for a spokesperson, they said. "I didn't realize I had an accent until I watched myself on television!" says the former babysitter, who ultimately toned down the accent by speaking more slowly. Her likely move to New York City or L.A. may help as well. Her goals? "I really want to do a runway show for Dsquared and Valentino," she says. And make one special purchase. (Spoiler alert: Mom, stop reading now.) "She doesn't know, but I'm going to get Mama a car," says Evans. "She's going to be so excited."

She showed us pictures of famous houses in Williamsport and described what type of houses they were, like "Queen Anne, Romanesque and Gothic." She described the special names for their parts; like "gingerbread, swag and verge boards." Then she told us about the people who lived in those houses and the people who built them.

Exploring the yum package manager
Rollback Function
You are probably familiar with the situation in which you install a new program but then need to restore the original state of the system because of incompatibilities, bugs, or other problems. This rollback can be fairly tricky – for one thing, older packages might be difficult to locate, and for another, the configurations might have been overwritten. An automatic rollback function is often the quickest, simplest, and cleanest approach.
To leverage the benefits of package rollback, you need to back up the current system status before you change the selection of packages – that is, whenever you install or delete packages. To help you do so, RPM has a repackage function.
The repackage process bundles the relevant files, such as configuration files, data, and program files, into a new RPM archive. The RPM repackage function adds a transaction ID to each archive and stores the archive at a fixed location.
To restore a previous installation state, remove the packages you just installed and install the repackage files you created before doing so.
To tell RPM which repackage files to install, each RPM transaction is assigned a unique number. If you delete multiple packages and their dependencies, all the repackage files will have a unique transaction ID. According to the RPM manpage, the ID is a simple Unix timestamp.
Yum can use RPM's rollback functionality if you enable the feature in the configuration files. To do so, add the following entry to /etc/rpm/macros:
%_repacke_all_erasures 1
If the /etc/rpm/macros configuration file does not exist, you need to create it. Then add the following line to the /etc/yum.conf file:
Once you have configured this parameter, the system will "remember" every status setting in the /var/spool/repackage folder. If you delete a package, something such as
# rpm -Uhv --rollback '3 minutes ago'
will restore the system state from three minutes ago.
Test Run
Additionally, specifying --test will perform a test run and show you the actions to perform, but without actually executing the rollback. You can specify the time for the rollback as follows:
# rpm -Uhv --rollback 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM'
If you can't remember the time for the installation you want to roll back, just check the timestamps on the repackage files in /var/spool/repackage.

Communism and Capitalism are more than just two economic systems: for over a century, they have dominated the ideological debates of intellectuals, incited hopes, curiosity, and disappointment to travellers, immigrants and emigrants, incited the creativity of artists, formed political alliances, brought the world close to nuclear war several times, shaped the map of Europe, and last but not least, have contributed to a situation in which scholars from Eastern Europe may want to meet scholars from Western Europe and America to reassess the cultural consequences of the two major ideologies in the 20th century.
From June 26 to June 29, 2003, the Center for North American Studies (or Zentrum für Nordamerika-Forschung - ZENAF) at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt, Germany, will host an American Studies conference to address the issues of Communism, Capitalism, and the Politics of Culture. For this fourth East-West American Studies Conference we invite junior scholars who are at present working on a research project in American Studies (a dissertation, a habilitation, or any other book-length research) on topics such as art and propaganda, consumer culture and its critique, the (mis-)representations of ideology between East and West, the literary concerns with the promises and disillusionments of communism and capitalism, or the surprising similarities between East and West, hidden underneath a rhetoric emphasizing fundamental differences. In all cases, scholars working in the field of American Studies should not only be willing to present their work in progress and discuss it with a group of colleagues from Eastern and Western European countries but also to reflect how their own approaches may be shaped by the historical fates of communism and capitalism.
In order to allow for lively debates the number of participants will be kept small, i.e. up to 16. Everyone will be asked to present their projects in written statements of about 15 pages, which could be either representative chapters and/or the outlines of the project. This statement, sent to all participants before the beginning of the conference, will be the basis of the discussion. At the conference, each participant will summarize his or her argument in a 10 minute talk. The following debate will be chaired by a distinguished American scholar yet to be announced.
If you are interested in presenting your work in progress and also prepared to engage in the projects of your colleagues, please send a short (one page) proposal introducing your research and a CV. You may send your proposal either by mail or email, in either case it should arrive no later than January 24, 2003 at the address given.
The conference will be sponsored by the Volkswagen-Stiftung and allows us to cover the costs of accommodation and food for all. We will also cover the travel expenses of scholars from Eastern Europe and expect those from Western Europe and America to apply for matching funds.
