Journal of Financial Research, Forthcoming
We examine differences in underwriting costs between commercial bank Section 20 underwritten initial public offerings (IPOs) and investment-bank-underwritten IPOs. Our results suggest that total underwriting costs (gross margin plus underpricing) are significantly lower for commercial bank IPOs. The lower cost for commercial-bank-underwritten IPOs is attributable to less severe underpricing for these issues. Gross margin costs generally do not differ between commercial-bank- and investment-bank-underwritten issues. Furthermore, we find that the long-run stock price performance for bank-underwritten issues is superior to that of investment-bank-underwritten issues. That is, lower underpricing for Section 20 underwritten issues may not be a short-run phenomenon. Rather, there appears to be a favorable outcome for investors in the long run for holding IPOs underwritten by Section 20 commercial banks. These results are inconsistent with the conflict of interest hypothesis often associated with merging commercial investment bank functions in one organization.

Tuesday's Free Pick comes from Covers Expert Will RogersPick: Kansas CityStart: August 27, 2013 - 8:10 PM Capper's Page: https://experts.covers.com/Handicapper/Will_RogersOffered at: Pinnacle @ -144 Kansas CityAnalysis:
While there is the minor concern that the Royals had to play a make up date Monday against Tampa Bay and the Twins had the day off, perhaps that's much ado about nothing. After all, Kansas City is just 2-9 with a day off this season anyway, plus they dominated the Rays 11-1. They just so happen to have dominated Minnesota all season as well.
Here are my keys to the game:

Over the last few years my laboratory has been focusing on the effects of long term visual deprivation on human visual processing. Long term visual deprivation results in deficits in high level visual processing (such as face and object recognition) that cannot be explained by low level amblyopic deficits, and suggest that the role of visual experience differs widely across different types of processing. As well as characterizing the behavioral effects of deprivation, we have been examining the neural effects, using functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Northwest Regional Library's photography exhibition awards 2015 reception took place on 7th April, at the Charles H. Stone Memorial Library in Pilot Mountain that is the very first stop for the traveling showcase. The 9th annual showcase carries hundred and ninety seven photography. Anna Nichols, the Head Librarian, said that the first year they had twenty five to thirty entries, so they are very happy with this year's number.
The event started with a photography workshop called My Journey with the Camera, conducted by photographer Beth Tilley Green. She told that she started out taking pictures of her own children. In fact, she also spoke regarding her very personal journey, photography techniques, and she also answered questions for the audience.
With 8 years of pro experience, Beth has a journalistic approach to photography, clicking her subjects in their very natural element. Her work could be seen on her website i.e. – www.BethTilleyGreen.com. Continue reading →

Putting harsh feelings on hold, Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards make nice on Father's Day weekend
Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen certainly didn't look like a couple about to get divorced. The two, who reunited over the Father's Day weekend to take their 2-week-old daughter, Lola, to visit a family friend in L.A., seemed relaxed, happy and even affectionate. But don't be fooled: Sources close to the couple say the cheery weekend outing doesn't mean a reconciliation is in the offing. Says a Richards insider: "They're trying to get along for the sake of their kids." (The couple also have a second daughter, Sam, 1.) Another source says that despite the breakdown of her marriage, Richards, 34, wants Sheen, 39, to stay involved as a dad. "She's not trying to take their father away," says the source. "She's always wanted him to be a part of the children's lives."
Looking at Denise Richards strolling down the street, few people would guess she had a baby less than three weeks ago. How'd she do it? "She eats healthy," says an insider. "She consults with a nutritionist and watches what she eats." Richards also plans on enlisting in a diet delivery program. But no working out for now: She delivered by cesarean section and can't exercise yet. When fully recovered, she'll resume sessions with her longtime trainer Ray Kybartas.
Leo Attacked
Leonardo DiCaprio may need a touch of extra makeup while filming the Martin Scorsese Mob drama The Departed in Boston this week. DiCaprio, 30, received about a dozen stitches under his left ear after a woman smashed his face with a bottle around 4 a.m. on June 17 at a small party at the Hollywood Hills home of Rick Salomon (a.k.a. Paris Hilton's video sex partner). "Leo was attacked by a woman who was trespassing," Ken Sunshine, the actor's rep, told PEOPLE. "The woman was reportedly looking for an ex-boyfriend." She may also have known DiCaprio, who filed a police crime report three days later. Police said their investigation is ongoing, and no arrests had been made at press time.
Jen's New Jewelry
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner took a weekend trip to New York City June 18, and although the couple have yet to acknowledge an engagement, Garner sported a diamond-studded ring on her left hand throughout the visit. (The stars' reps deny that a wedding is in the works.) According to jewelry experts Penny Proddow and Marion Fasel, Garner is wearing an eternity band with round diamonds, most likely from Harry Winston. And although Winston won't confirm that the jewelry is theirs, the famed 6.1-carat, pink diamond ring that Affleck bought for Jennifer Lopez was purchased from—and later returned to—the celebrity jeweler.
Lindsay Lohan had reason to party June 19. Her new movie, Herbie: Fully Loaded, premiered in L.A. Then it was off to celebrate her 19th birthday—even though it doesn't actually take place until July 2—at the new Hollywood hot spot Basque. "She is going to be in Minnesota filming a movie [A Prairie Home Companion], so we wanted to have something here with friends and family," says a friend, explaining the early celebration. Guests, including her mom, Dina, and Nicole Richie, dined on crab cakes, chicken and cake before hitting the dance floor. Among Lohan's birthday presents: a 5-carat diamond ring, a necklace and a coffee-table book. The festivities lasted until 2 a.m.
Mary-Kate's Solo Party
A few days after celebrating turning 19 with twin Ashley at a sedate family dinner in L.A., Mary-Kate Olsen arrived sisterless at the Manhattan club Bungalow 8 at 1 a.m June 17 for a different sort of birthday party. In a white minidress that kept slipping from her shoulders, she hopped into the arms of her friend, model Natalia Vodianova, for a smooch, then wore a cowboy hat while smoking Parliament Lights, sipping from a champagne glass and grinding to songs like "Get Right." Sometime after a cake was brought out and candles blown, she exited, exhausted, with her bodyguard and her entourage at 3 a.m. Says her rep: "She deserves to let off a little steam."
Entertainer Roy Horn has entered a clinic where, the German paper Bild reports, he is undergoing an experimental treatment with a doctor who utilizes stem cells from pig embryos to stimulate and repair damaged nerve cells. Horn, 60, incapacitated since being mauled by his white tiger Montecore in 2003, is expected to remain at the Leonardis Clinic in Bad Heilbrunn, Germany, for six weeks.
Honeymoon in Vegas
She had him from hello. But what with his concert touring and her movie promotion (for Cinderella Man), Renée Zellweger, 36, did not have more than a couple of days alone with Kenny Chesney since the two said "I do" in the U.S. Virgin Islands on May 9. So when Chesney, 37, finally got a break from his concert lineup, they made the most of it, hightailing it to Las Vegas for at least five days of fun—and exercise—in the sun. Escorted by bodyguards, the honeymooners hit the Las Vegas Athletic Club June 9 for a workout. Three days later, they partied with friends at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, where they returned for lunch the next day. On June 13, they were seen lounging in a cabana on the man-made beach at Mandalay Bay. But it was soon back to work for Chesney, who resumed touring June 17.
Tink: Dog Fight!
Has the spoiled lifestyle of Paris Hilton's Chihuahua Tinkerbell sparked a celebrity backlash? Missy Elliott recently snapped up a doggie T-shirt that reads, "I hate Tinkerbell, That Bitch has everything" on a $1,500 shopping spree for her Yorkie, Poncho. Tori Spelling's pug Mimi LaRue owns the shirt, too—and the actress has a tank top that says, "My dog can beat up Paris Hilton's dog." Spelling is an honorary board member of Much Love Animal Rescue, which sells the top for $20. "Paris is a good friend of mine, and I know she would laugh at it," she says.
Unbelievably, there exists a door that doesn't open for Oprah Winfrey—as the talk show host found when she arrived at the Hermès store in Paris recently. "Our shop closes at 6:30," said a store rep. "She came after the shop was already closing." Press and Internet reports claimed Winfrey, 51, was turned away for racial reasons. Not so, says the rep. "We know and value her as a customer." Oprah's rep would only confirm she was in Paris.
The Comeback's
Lisa Kudrow
Friends veteran Lisa Kudrow stars in The Comeback, an HBO series about a former sitcom actress hoping to return to stardom while filming a reality-show documentary about the attempt. "It's been really fun," Kudrow, 41, tells Scoop. But please don't confuse Kudrow with her character. "We're really not alike."
How did you celebrate the premiere of The Comeback? Have a big party?
No, actually, I didn't watch it. I've seen it so many times already. And, these days, I go to bed really early, between 9 and 10, so I was already in bed.
Sounds like you're exhausted.
We start at 7 a.m. And I have hair and makeup before that. It's a 12-hour day. These days I don't have any down time. I'm always doing something.
The Comeback is very close in nature to a reality show. Do you watch those?
I do. I watch The Apprentice, and America's Next Top Model, and Gastineau Girls. And there are shows on PBS I love: Colonial House and Frontier House.
What's home life like? Any pets? Hobbies?
No new hobbies. And no pets, please! My son wants a mouse, and it's just out of the question. Even a mouse! We cannot have one more thing to feed or tend to.
Have any pets now?
Yes, a dog.
Does your son Julian, 7, watch the new show?
He's seen parts of it. It's not that interesting to him. He's like, "I don't need to see that!"
Heard from any of the old Friends gang lately?
Matt [LeBlanc] was at the premiere screening, and he loved it.
How about the others?
Of course!
Any chance Matt, Matthew, Courteney, Jennifer or David might be guests on your new show?
We haven't planned to have any famous guests because we don't know how to justify Valerie Cherish knowing any of these people.
So no chance at all?
Only if we run out of hardships for Valerie and have to bring in some famous people to ignore her.

Hiring a Hooligan by Deena Complete

Hot Sauce And Cigarettes by Farinaceous
True love isn't simple, not exotic--at best, it can be embarrassing. Your dream guy is probably your worst nightmare. The real nuts don't advertise.

How to Make a Human by Oddity
Bobbie Heising is a new student in her senior year at high school. Unfortunately for Bobbie, she is also tall, awkward, lanky, and a terrible liar. It also doesn't help that she has a severe case of diarrhea of the mouth and can't stop herself from making an ass out of herself in any given situation. Yeah, that could make being a new student a little difficult.
Soma by cybersheep
Quite frankly, Col would rather eat scorpions than engage in any sort of confrontation; scorpions are high in protein, low in fat, and you get used to the stinging after the first few bites. How he ended up in a gang, fetching tea for 'the most clever, wonderful and amazing woman in the world', is...an awkward story. Why he's now been ordered to kidnap an obsessive waiter is ever harder to explain. And why said waiter insists on kissing him at every opportunity he can... Col isn't even going to even think about that. Add to that a handsome rich-boy violinist who may or may not want to kill him, a government conspiracy that could tear the world wide open, and a demented narcissist who quite literally wants his blood, and scorpions don't sound too bad at all, do they?
Richard Fidget by Drew T.
His name is Richard Fidget. He likes to make up stories for gullible people. This story is true, though, he thinks. Richard's memories don't serve him as well as they used to, quite unlike the high-definition memories found in the mirror this whole story is about. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Read, read as Richard floats through his spring break and the last weeks of middle school. Kowalski (a fat friend), and Samantha (a pretty girl) are there with him. Their lives will all change forever once Richard finds the mirror, the Memory Mirror, and then nothing will be the same... You'll laugh. You'll cry. A little bit of pee will come out. But you have never read anything like this...and probably never will again.

Lot # 949 (of 1560) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1934 Oversized Bat Presented to Mickey Cochrane - Signed by Over 140 Players including Gehrig, W. Johnson, Lazzeri, and Hornsby
Starting Bid - $1,000, Sold For - $3,525
This unique presentation piece, which was given to Detroit Tigers catcher Mickey Cochrane in 1934, displays the signatures of over 140 different ballplayers, including eighteen Hall of Famers. While the exact circumstances of the presentation of this oversized balsam-wood bat are unknown, we do know that it was personally saved by Mickey Cochrane and came directly from his estate many years age. A vintage hand-drawn label, reading "Tigers - 1934" in the center, appears on the barrel. The year is particularly noteworthy as Cochrane led the Tigers to the World Series in his first season as player-manager for Detroit in 1934, and he was also named the American League's Most Valuable Player. The signatures appearing on this bat read like a who's who of American League players at the time (a few National League signatures are also present). Although the nature of the piece makes the exact number of signatures difficult to count, we have counted at least 143 different names on the bat. The eighteen Hall of Fame signatures on the bat are those of Gehrig (grading "4/5"), Harris, Combs, Lazzeri, Dickey, Gomez, Hornsby, Simmons, W. Johnson, Appling, Manush, Conlan, Averill, Ferrell, Cronin, Grove, Ruffing, and Lyons. The signatures of Joe McCarthy and Connie Mack Sr. found here are classic secretarial examples from the period. Other notable signatures include those of Red Rolfe, Charles O'Leary, Jimmy Austin, Johnny Allen, George Blaeholder, Red Kress, Pat Malone, Wes Ferrell, Max Bishop, Steve O'Neill, Schoolboy Rowe, Mel Harder, Jimmie Dykes, Johnny Murphy, Zeke Bonura, Russ Van Atta, Merv Shea, Nick Altrock, Walter Brown, George Selkirk, Lyn Lary, Cecil Travis, Myril Hoag, Al Schacht, Monte Pearson, Hal Trosky, Willis Hudlin, Rip Radcliff, Bing Miller, Bill Rogell, Oscar Melillo, and Mule Haas. The signatures, all of which are scripted in black fountain pen, range from "2" to "8," averaging "5." The fact that so many players took the time to sign this bat for Cochrane suggests the tremendous amount of respect he had from his peers. Cochrane joined the Tigers in 1934, and as player-manager promptly led the team to its first pennant in twenty-five years. His leadership, along with a .320 average, later earned him MVP honors at season's end. Perhaps the signing of this bat was arranged as a token of the team's appreciation for his efforts that season, or presented in honor of his being named the American League's Most Valuable Player for the 1934 season. Whatever the exact circumstances of its signing and presentation, it was a keepsake prized by Cochrane throughout his life. It is an exceptional conversation piece, a significant memento relating to Mickey Cochrane's 1934 MVP season, and a fascinating and unique signed item. The bat, which measures 36 inches in length and has a barrel circumference of 14 inches, displays moderate-to-heavy wear, especially along the handle and knob area (the knob is badly chipped). The barrel area has a number of minor chips and abrasions, none of which significantly affect any of the Hall of Fame signatures. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $1,000. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $3,525

The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Capture the best aspects of fall in your DIY jewelry crafts by adding traditional elements like leaves. Learn how to make Silver Leaf Fall Earrings from Savannah Starr using products from your favorite craft store and wear your creations all season long.
Pour Cool2Cast over a silk leaf and allow the medium to flatten on top of the leaf. Once it's set, use a gift card or sqeegee to create the viens in the leaf. Allow the entire piece to dry completely and repeat the process on the opposite side of the leaf. Cover the piece in acrylic paint and brush adhesive onto the surface. Cover the piece in silver leaf - you can even burnish the surface to create a vintage look. Add hooks and wear your leaves until the first snow begins to fall.

Adult children visiting for the holidays may notice changes in their loved ones and be faced with concerns over whether or not their parents can continue living on their own. Here are some things to consider:
- Are your aging parents keeping up with activities of daily living such as bathing and personal hygiene?
- What is the condition of their home? Are there unopened or unpaid bills? Is medication being taken and refilled? Are there too many animals?
- Are there changes in your parent's behavior or functioning such as difficulty walking, hearing or vision changes, memory or mood difficulties?
- What is the condition of your family member's car? Does it have unexplained dents and signs of damage? Has it been maintained?
- Has your family developed an emergency plan in case your loved one suddenly required more care? Who would they live with?
If your aging parents living along don't require medical care, a home care agency may be able to provide services to support them. Assistance with grocery shopping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments and companionship could help your parents continue living in their own home.
mmLearn.org recorded 'Home for the Holidays', an engaging webcast which outlines what to look for when visiting parents at home. This video contains practical help for today or for any visit at any time of the year.
What happens if you do discover the difficulties your parents are having living on their own? If you believe they need more care or are no longer safe living on their own, mmLearn.org also recorded a free webcast on Family Decisions and Long Term Care can help you evaluate options. Dr. Paul Garcia, a geriatrician practicing in San Antonio, Texas explains the differences in assisted living facilities, long-term care facilities and personal care homes. Checklists and a discussion of what to consider when choosing a home are included.
The mission of mmLearn.org is to provide caregivers with online training and education that improve the quality of care received by older adults.

Court Correspondent
The Supreme Court today will deliver its verdict on the appeal filed by condemned convict war criminal M Kamaruzzaman, assistant secretary general of Jamaat-e Islami, challenging the tribunal sentence, according to Monday's SC cause list released on Sunday afternoon.
Closing the arguments on appeal, a four-member Appellate Division bench, headed by Justice SK Sinha, on September 17 kept its verdict pending to be delivered any day. The appeal hearing began on June 5.
On May 9 last year, the International Crimes Tribunal-2 condemned M Kamaruzzaman to death for his crimes against humanity, including murder, abduction torture, rape and mass killing, during the country' s Liberation War in 1971.
On June 6 last year, the condemned convict filed the appeal with the Supreme Court challenging the ICT-2 verdict.
On June 4, 2012, the tribunal charged detained M Kamaruzzaman with seven crimes against humanity committed during the war.
Eighteen prosecution witnesses, including the investigation officer of the case, testified against Kamaruzzaman. Five people also testified for the accused.
Of the seven charges against Kamaruzzaman, including murder, mass killing, abduction and torture, five were proved beyond any doubt by the prosecution, while it failed to establish two similar charges -- abduction and torture of Liakat Ali and Mujibur Rahman Panu in Chwakbazar of Sherpur and Tunu and Jahangir in Golkibari of Mymensingh.
The ICT-2 awarded capital punishment to Kamaruzzaman on two charges -- for mass killing in Shohagpur in July, 1971 and for abduction, torture and killing of Golam Mustafa Talukder in the village Gridda Narayanpur of Sherpur in August 1971.
The Jamaat leader was also sentenced to life term imprisonment for the charges of abduction, torture and killing of Badiuzzaman in the village Ramnagar of Sherpur in June 1971 and killing of six people, including Tepu Mia and Zahurul Islam in Mymensingh. The tribunal further sentenced him to 10 years' imprisonment for inhuman torture of Syed Abdul Hannan, the then principal of Sherpur College, in mid-May 1971.
Verdict on convict Kamaruzzaman's appeal today

As soon as I spotted this outdoor entertaining space, I loved the DIY-able idea for an outdoor bar. You could use any type of cinderblock base and any pressure-treated wood that will withstand the elements. Grab a few colorful accessories, invite your friends over, serve some drinks and enjoy the arrival of fall! Here are a few items I rounded up to help you get this look!
I think a butcher block piece would look really great in this set-up. The sleek bar-height chairs give a great space for seating and chatting with guests as you serve up a drink. Don't forget to finish the look with a few pretty containers and plants. (Ikea always has great, inexpensive options!) Shop for a few color coordinating pieces like a watering can or hand towel. Enjoy!

Increasing Your Adwords Conversions
Okay so we know what CTR (click-through-rate) is number of clicks divided by the number of impressions X 100
And we know what conversion rate is - the number of conversions divided by the number of clicks X 100
Now the million dollar question is how can we increase conversions?
Here are a few things that your landing page should have to ensure that you get your visitors to do what you want them to do.
- A Strong Call to Action, which Should appear above the fold. This is critical. The visitor to your page should know exactly what you want them to do and should not have to search for the next step in the process
- Include a headline at the top of the Page which will draw the visitor to take the next step with you.
- Include some sort of action mechanism for visitors to interact with. A form to fill out, Live Chat, or a Survey
- Keep your graphics to a minimum. People's eyes will be drawn to graphics. If you've got too many graphics, your visitors eyes will be bouncing all over the place. Use the graphics to draw visitors to the important elements on the page. The important elements are the Call to Action and Action Mechanism.
Once you've built a great page to send you visitors to, create a quick variation of that page and run a test. That is another topic it in and off it self. Next article, let's talk about the A/B testing and Google Website Optimizer.

After a bevy of leaked product images and spy shots, official confirmation of an updated 2011 Jeep Wrangler can hardly be considered a surprise, but it's still a welcome development. For its next model year, the venerable four-wheeler will receive a comprehensive (and much needed) interior update, along with a body-color removable hardtop available on the Sahara trim.
The new Wrangler, which has just gone into production this week at Chrysler's Toledo Assembly Complex, gets a new steering wheel, instrument panel, reworked center stack, and even larger rear windows. Other changes include a lockable console, gooshier armrests and upgraded materials all around.
On the creature-feature front, there's a new USB interface for keeping those top-down tunes flowing, as well as Bluetooth streaming audio. You'll be able to hear your music of choice even better in the 2011 model, too, as the company has splashed out for a new 'acoustical treatment' designed to cut the Jeep's (in)famous cabin din. Of course, if you're buying a Wrangler, you're probably not looking for the ultimate in refinement, but at first blush, these measured updates strike a nice balance with us.
Finally, a brace of new paint colors make the scene for the new model year, including Bright White, Cosmos Blue, Deep Cherry Red, Detonator Yellow, and Sahara Tan.
Check out the revised Wrangler in our high-res gallery below and see the rest of the story in the press release after the jump.

Chloe Grace Moretz is only 13 years old but she's already starred in some of this year's biggest movies -- playing some very dark roles.
After getting some attention and worthy praise for playing the controversial mini-assassin Hit-Girl in 'Kick-Ass,' Moretz gets her vampire on in this week's 'Let Me In,' a remake of a Swedish film based on the novel 'Let the Right One In.'
Moretz plays Abby, a 300-year-old vampire in the body of a 12-year-old girl who befriends a young loner boy in snowy New Mexico. Moviefone talked to Moretz about her penchant for dark roles, how 'Let Me In' compares to 'Twilight' and her future project with Martin Scorsese.
'Let Me In' premieres Oct. 1.
Have you seen 'Let the Right One In,' the original Swedish movie 'Let Me In' is based on?
No, I still haven't seen it, for a couple of reasons, but mainly my mom didn't allow me to watch it because it's R-rated. Yeah, but also, my brother, who's my acting coach, Trevor Moretz,, didn't want me to watch it because he wanted "more of a natural and raw kind of feel towards Abby." I didn't just copy a character.
Were you actually walking in snow without shoes on?
Yes! I was. (laughs)
How was that?
That was pretty insane. It got really cold at times, but everyone was looking out for me, so they had things to heat my feet up immediately.
How did you summon the intensity to play Abby, a 300-year-old vampire?
Yeah, it was pretty crazy, because Abby has so many different dimensions to her. I mean, she has the 300-year-old vampire side, but she also has the young little girl side, so you know, it was really kind of a hard role to play. It was definitely something different than what I've ever done before ... and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Do you see any comparisons to 'Twilight,' another vampire film?
It's definitely a lot different from 'Twilight,' I'd say, but they're just different films ... the 'Twilight' series is very good on its own but yeah, it's definitely very different.
You spend most of the movie with Kodi Smit-McPhee, who plays Owen. How did you two get along?
Really well. We're still really, really good friends. He's such a cool guy and I totally love him. He's such an awesome person.
You seem to always take intense, dark roles. What attracts you to those roles?
I basically just look for good roles. I look for roles that are interesting and different than a normal kid, like, "Oh, daddy! Help me with my sweater," you know? I look for roles that are really unique and different from other roles that other kids have played. That's what really makes me gravitate toward these types of characters.
When did you know you wanted to act?
Well, my brother Trevor got accepted into a professional performing arts high school in New York City and so I basically fell in love with it through him. He absolutely loved it and I saw how much he loved it and I was like, "I kind of want to try it." Because I used to run his lines with him and basically I fell in love with it. We moved from Georgia to New York for my brother, and then it just went from there and it got bigger and bigger and just became what it is now.
Is there an older actress whose career you'd like your career to be similar to when you're older?
I already am very happy with my career, you know? I've been doing so much and it's what I love and I've been doing roles that I love. But I totally get what you're saying. The person I look up to definitely would be Natalie Portman. She's the number one person I look up to.
Have you met her?
I haven't, but I saw her movie, 'Black Swan,' get scored, and I met Darren Aronofsky and stuff, but yeah, I would so love to meet her.
You could play sisters!
I totally, totally wish. We actually look kind of alike. We could totally be sisters.
Were there a lot of 'Hit-Girl' costumes at Comic-Con?
There were! There were a lot, but they were like "sexy" Hit-Girls. I was like, 'that's a little wrong.' I was like, "Hit-Girl's not supposed to look like that."
How were the insane 'Kick-Ass' fans?
There are bunches of people that are absolutely insane fans of 'Kick-Ass.' They're not absolutely insanely crazy or anything, but I've had a couple that I've just been like, "Okay, cool. Byeeee. Thank you. Go see my movie on DVD." (laughs)
Have you already started working with director Martin Scorsese on the film 'Hugo Cabret'? Have you seen any of his movies?
I've been shooting a film with him for the last three months. I haven't been allowed to see all of them, but I've seen some and they're absolutely amazing ... I want to see 'Taxi Driver,' but that won't happen any time soon.
Aw, maybe they can show you parts of it?
(laugh) No way. They're really strict.
What advice would you have for a young person who wanted to get into acting?
Keep at it, you know? No matter what people say about you or whatever they say -- good or bad -- keep at it and keep working on your craft and never back down.

Big bang
Officers responded to 101 Plume Poppy Ct., in Summer Haven, April 28, to neighbors reporting a man in the front yard discharging a firearm. When they arrived there was no one outside. An officer went to the rear of the property and observed a man trying to climb out a second-story window. However, when the man saw the officer he went back inside and shut out the lights.
Officers made contact with a woman in the residence who said she had heard a gunshot but knew nothing. Police found a spent .45 shell casing in the front yard next to the passenger side of a vehicle. They also observed a black Hi-Point .45 caliber handgun on the passenger seat. When they removed the magazine there was one shell missing.
The man claimed he and his girlfriend had a verbal altercation and that he was intoxicated but had not fired the gun and neither could understand why there would be a spent shell casing in the front yard. The man was arrested for discharging a firearm within town limits.
Too many IDs
A Dorchester County Sheriff's Deputy observed a vehicle not using a right turn signal with occupants who were not wearing seat belts. After the vehicle turned off Ladson Road into Wendy's parking lot the deputy stopped the vehicle and asked for identification. Observing multiple South Carolina ID cards in the driver's wallet and the fact that the driver was shaking and a back seat passenger moving around a lot the deputy asked the driver to step out of the vehicle. The driver informed the deputy he was driving under a suspension.
When the deputy instructed the driver to place his hands behind his back, the driver resisted. Simultaneously, the man in the back seat got into the front seat and jumped out the driver's door. The two men ran in opposite directions. The deputy chased the driver and when he refused to obey the deputy's demand to stop, the deputy deployed his Taser, bringing the driver to the ground.
The deputy was eventually able to handcuff the driver. In the meantime other units responded and began to search for the backseat passenger. A female passenger in the front seat offered multiple names.
A search of the vehicle and the driver uncovered multiple clear bags with white powder substance which tested positive for meth, a loaded handgun and a bottle in a cooler containing chemicals used for a meth lab.
Metro Narcotics was called to dispose of the mobile meth lab.
The driver was charged with driving under suspension, resisting arrest, and warrants for PWID Meth and Unlawful Carrying of a Firearm are pending.

Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963.
This year, many Americans are pausing to honor the 50th anniversary of the turning point in the civil rights struggle.
Meanwhile, film director Lee Daniels' new film, "The Butler," is offering a rare look at that time in American history through the eyes of a servant.
Star-Studded Cast
Members of the star-studded cast recently spoke with CBN News about the emotional project, including Oprah Winfrey, Forest Whitaker, Cuba Gooding Jr., Lenny Kravitz, Terrence Howard, Jesse Williams, David Oyelowo, Yaya DaCosta and Daniels. CBN News spoke with each of the actors. Watch more from the stars below.
Whitaker plays the title role in the film inspired by Wil Haygood's 2008 Washington Post article and eventual book. The article and book tell the story of Eugene Allen, a real life butler who served eight presidents in the White House.
Whitaker won an Academy Award for his performance as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in "The Last King of Scotland." But he described the character of White House butler Cecil Gaines as the most intimidating role of his career.
"There were so many elements to learn," Whitaker told CBN News. "First, his profession, his vocation - he doesn't express certain feelings and emotions out on his sleeve. He can't speak about a lot of different things. So that would mean I would have to communicate to you, as an audience, my thoughts without any words."
Whitaker's character also ages nearly 70 years throughout the film, where he plays opposite Winfrey. In her long-awaited return to the big screen, the media mogul plays Cecil's wife, Gloria Gaines. Gloria is a wife and mother struggling to keep her family from falling apart under the pressures of racism.
Oprah's 'Every Woman' Role
In her interview with CBN News, Winfrey described Gloria as every woman of that generation.
In preparing for the role, Winfrey said, "I was looking for my mother and my aunts and my grandmother and that entire generation of women who stood by their men. They worked hard every day."
"That is what I was reaching for," she continued, "and also understanding that every one of them had their own dreams, their own aspirations, their own desires."
"They didn't just want to stand by and raise children every day," she said. "There were times when they wanted to do more than sew, and so they had to repress all that fire."
Winfrey credits director Daniels and acting coach Susan Batson for making Gloria come alive in her.
A Biblical Theme?
And Daniels credits God. The Oscar-nominated director says he actually prays for the fictional characters in his film "that God would take us to deliver the right message to the right people."
At its heart, "The Butler" is a story about the love between a husband and wife - and the love of a father and son at odds about how to fight injustice.
Oyelowo plays the role of the older son, Louis Gaines. He compares the film to the biblical story of the prodigal son.
"What's beautiful about the story is that these two men - one older, one younger - they are both fighting the same thing in very different ways," Oyelowo said. "And by the end of the movie, they are both able to celebrate an unforeseen victory that they wouldn't have imagined would take place."
Oyelowo is part of an all-star cast that also includes Jane Fonda, Robin Williams, and Mariah Carey.
Oscar buzz already surrounds the film, which takes a look at history through the eyes of a humble servant.
The fruit of the spirit also shines through - a fact prompted these final words from Winfrey:
"I am telling you when I first saw this film, you are putting it together. It's one thing," she said. "And then the first time I saw it, it took my breath away, just the opening track from Forest."

INTERNATIONAL ANTITRUST LITIGATION: CONFLICT OF LAWS AND COORDINATION (STUDIES IN PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW), Jürgen Basedow, Stéphanie Francq, Laurence Idot, eds., Oxford: Hart Publishing, 2012
Indiana Legal Studies Research Paper No. 1974545
This essay was written for a forthcoming book on international antitrust litigation in Europe. It provides a comparative perspective on the U.S. approach to the jurisdictional and choice-of-law issues raised in international antitrust litigation. The chapter examines personal jurisdiction over foreign defendants involved in anticompetitive conduct, as well as the question of applicable law in cross-border antitrust litigation -- including the possibility of applying foreign antitrust law. It also focuses on the intersection between antitrust claims and contract claims, and on the special conflict-of-laws issues that arise in the context of class actions.

What better way to kick off summer fun... than a colorful new trove of illustrious glassybaby at a great price?
You simply must stop in and see our brilliant new array of glassybaby drinkers.

Puget Sound to support the care they provide for our veterans.
Picture yourself on the patio or beach-side with a sparkling concoction being offered in a lively, piquant "marie":

Two Texas Panhandle banks manage billions of dollars in clients' wealth, gold and mineral assets, landing them in some high-roller territory in the banking world.
Happy State Bank, based in Happy, comes in at No. 55 on BauerFinancial's Top 100 Banks Nationwide for the sheer dollar volume of its fiduciary assets — $2.1 billion.
Amarillo National Bank hits the list at No. 59, with $1.9 billion in trust assets, according to the bank ratings agency's analysis of data reported to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. at the end of 2012.
The fiduciary assets Top 100 list begins with Charles Schwab Bank at No. 1 with $120 billion volume, and ends with Heartland Bank and Trust in Bloomington, Ill., at $958 million.
"A lot of banks don't have trust departments," said Chris Williston, president and CEO of the Independent Bankers Association of Texas. "Probably only about a quarter of the banks in Texas have a trust department."
Happy State purchased Phoenix-based Colonial Trust Co. in 2004, renamed it Gold Star Trust Co. and moved the operation to Canyon, bank Chairman and CEO Pat Hickman said. Happy State later grew Gold Star by swallowing a Houston trust firm.
"A lot of folks don't realize we are the largest trustee in the nation for precious metal, self-
directed IRAs," Hickman said, referring to investment retirement accounts.
Investors who buy gold and other precious metals must entrust that wealth to a third-party financial manager, he said.
"It's kind of a specialized business," Hickman said. "It's something we concentrate in. Ever since the financial meltdown, we've been opening anywhere from 400 to 700 new accounts every month — and all of it over the Internet and telephone."
Amarillo National's trust department handles a lot of longstanding family trusts, Senior Vice President William Ware said.
"Around here, I think you've got a lot of banks that have been around for a while, and there are a lot of family assets that have been passed down and managed by trust departments because families want them to be intact," Ware said.
"We own more minerals than any other entity in the Panhandle. And we manage a lot of properties, assets and minerals throughout the entire Panhandle."
Texas Panhandle banks have notched their positions on numerous BauerFinancial Top 100 Banks lists, both in southwest region and nationwide standings.
The institutions that handle the lion's share of business in the Amarillo area, Amarillo National and Happy State, make the most BauerFinancial list appearances, but other banks are represented in particular categories.
Overall, it's a showing Hickman called a reflection of a positive area economic activity.
"In spite of what you hear in the national media, banks here have been loaning money throughout the last five years," Hickman said. "We're still doing lots of commerce here.
"Talk about a mirror of the economy in this area as a whole: If the banks are hurting, let me promise you, the area is hurting. If banks are doing well, the economy is doing well."
BauerFinancial is one of several companies that crunch data the banks report to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. into ratings that boil down basic indicator's of a financial institution's health. The recently released Top 100 book looks at financial information from the period that ended Dec. 31.
Those interviewed agreed the standard consumers should pay most attention to in bank assessment is a ratio named for one of the worst periods in banking history. Much to the current consternation of Texas bankers, the Texas Ratio got its moniker after a savings and loan collapse in the state in the 1980s, Williston said.
Since the recession, Texas bankers have called for the ratio to be tacked to Nevada, Florida or another state more deeply affected by the most recent collapse, Hickman joked.
The calculation takes all nonperforming assets and divides them by net worth plus reserves. The lower the resulting ratio, the better, according to Bauer.
"Anything under 20 (percent) is a good thing, and anything under 5 is a great thing," Ware said.
The Texas Ratios on Bauer's nationwide Top 100 list for banks with assets of $1 billion or more range from 0 percent, at the top, to 6.09 percent, at No. 100.
Amarillo National posted a 3.34 percent Texas Ratio at the end of 2012, pushing it to No. 46.
"That's exceptionally low," Williston said of ANB's Texas Ratio. "That's just outstanding. That means good loan performance."
Citizens Bank, based in Claude, reached No. 70 on the nationwide Texas Ratio list for banks with assets of $100 million to $500 million, and State National Bank of Groom ranked 93rd on the Texas Ratio list for banks with assets of less than $100 million.
Amarillo National Bank's end-of-year $488.7 million in consumer loans propelled it to No. 87 on the Top 100 nationwide for that category.
Consumer loans generally mean those made for smaller purchases than houses and business needs, Williston said.
Car loans make up 80 to 90 percent of Amarillo National's consumer loan portfolio, Ware said.
"We're the largest car lender in Amarillo and Lubbock," he said.
When the consumer loan category is narrowed to the southwest United States, Amarillo National jumps to No. 6 on the list, with Happy State coming in at No. 39 with $46.2 million in loans to consumers, and FirstBank Southwest, an Amarillo bank, reaching No. 82 with $26.9 million in consumer loan volume, according to Bauer.
Those three banks are joined by First United Bank in the Top 100 banks of the southwest for commercial and industrial loans.
At the end of 2012, Amarillo National had $850.7 million in business loans, ranking 12 on the southwest list, followed by Happy State at No. 28 with $282.7 million.
FirstBank Southwest and First United Bank were neck-and-neck on the list. At No. 93, FirstBank Southwest had $100.8 million in commercial and industrial loans, while First United Bank had $100.7 million to take the No. 94 slot.
"That tells you that business is good in the Panhandle of Texas," Hickman said. "That really speaks well of our region to have four banks in that realm."
Ware said the showing points to economic diversity and a stable of quality local banks.
"These local banks that are mentioned on the list are able to gain a foothold over the out-of-town banks because of the service they can offer," he said.
Scott MacDonald, president and CEO of Southern Methodist University's Southwestern Graduate School of Banking, called the loan market in Amarillo "unique" because community banks in the area work with customers to make loans beyond the basic categories.
"If you are someone like me, I haven't needed a loan for the last 15 to 20 years, but I'm in a unique situation because I'm building a ranch. Nothing I do anymore fits the standard pigeonhole of a bank product.
"They (community banks) say, 'We've got something that will work perfect for you. We'll just customize it in your case.'"

Usually the MD5 is stored alongside the file that has been compromised; if they can compromise the main file, surely they can make a new MD5. The unrealircd guys are starting to use GPG which is a better solution (if they're careful with their keys)(and as long as the source tree they're signing hasn't been compromised), but GPG is a PITA.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - Two Jefferson County residents were recognized for their contributions to the Shepherdstown community during the Pack Horse Ford Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution 97th birthday celebration Saturday.
More than 45 attendees enjoyed a catered luncheon at the Christ Reformed Church in Shepherdstown. Hostesses were Dorrene Hale, Darla Ambrose, Katherine Genung and Mary Gageby.
The chapter awarded the DAR Community Service Award to Meredith Wait for her volunteer service as president of the Shepherdstown Business Association and chairman for the 250th Shepherdstown Anniversary. Wait began working in April 2010 to coordinate the community's efforts for the 250th anniversary celebration. Shepherdstown Mayor Jim Auxer presented the award to Wait.

The chapter also recognized Registrar Dorrene Hale for receiving the West Virginia History Hero Award on Feb. 21 in Charleston. Her husband, Donald, also received the award. The Pack Horse Ford Chapter and General Adam Stephen Chapter, National Society Sons of the American Revolution, sponsored the couple for the award. Of special note was the Hales' two-year project to document the burials in Elmwood Cemetery.
Member Mary Wood, chairman of the Commemorative Events Committee, gave everyone a DAR crossword puzzle that she designed. The puzzle is filled with words that test members' knowledge of the Pack Horse Ford Chapter and Revolutionary War history. The first two members - one with less than two years of service and one with more than two years of service - to complete the puzzle and submit it to Wood will receive a small prize.
The DAR American History Essay Contest Committee, led by Second Vice Regent Mary Davis, gave details of the upcoming reading of essays by the selected winners. Awards for first-, second- and third-place essay winners will be given at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 12, at the Station at Shepherdstown. Students, teachers and anyone interested are cordially invited to attend and hear the first-place winners read their essays on "Unsung Heroes of the American Revolution."
Entertainment for the luncheon was provided by Tom Dawson, a fiddler who played 19th-century music from Scotland, Ireland, England and France.
The chapter's annual chartered bus trip is planned for Baltimore, Md., on Saturday, June 15. A custom-designed guided bus tour of Baltimore architectural highlights will be given in the morning. After lunch, participants will visit a special exhibit at the Maryland Historical Society museum. More details and a reservation form will be released in late March or early April.

The Rev. John M. Driscoll, 87, president of Villanova University from 1975 to 1988, who added dormitories and other buildings as part of a campus expansion, died Thursday, March 3, at the campus monastery.
Villanova University, 1842- 1992, by David R. Contosta, found that through the school's 31 presidencies to that time, three of the men had been "outstanding," and Father Driscoll was one, according to a 1995 Inquirer review of the book.
In a statement on the university website, the Rev. Peter Donohue, the current president, noted that Father Driscoll's tenure had included the completion of the Connelly Center - a gathering place for students that includes a dining space, a movie theater, and an art gallery - and the Pavilion, the basketball arena.

The State of Africa and Uganda
As a lifelong resident of Uganda and Africa as well as president of the Atheist Association of Uganda, I have a good idea of the conditions and challenges that Africans face to live.
Africa is perhaps the most miserable place the world has ever known. This fact is all but ignored by the media in western countries. Most of the governments here, although calling themselves promoters of democracy, are ruthless dictatorships, ruled by greed and callous disregard for human life and dignity. They are supported by religious institutions that desire a share in the power, and they are supported by the "Western World" because they can still exploit them for profit.
The misery of Africa and poor Africans should make the rest of the world hang their heads in shame. In my country Uganda and Africa in general, we are in the same social position that Europe was for two thousand years until the early nineteen hundreds. But this has given groups like AAU reason to stand up and challenge these mercenaries.
In Europe, the poor were slaves, exploited on farms and in factories. There was no care for their health or well-being, children were sent to the mines or to slave for 14 hours a day in terrible factories. That was the system the colonizers brought to our lovely Africa when they colonized us.
In Europe they got rid of tribal differences, got rid of religion in government through instituting separation of religion from government and only then could they move on and create a decent society. Until we do this, change and civilization is still decades away from us here in Africa. Tribalism and nepotism are far worse than racism. With your support, we can play our role.
Uganda is a country that is effectively a criminal theocracy. Our president for life, President Museveni, his wife, and their daughters, are pastors and run a church alongside the State. Their church is called the Covenant Nations Church and it is headed by Museveni's daughter Patience Rwaboogo Museveni. Her church services are aired on the national television channel, LTV, here in Kampala. Museveni's supporters have now created a cult that you might call "Musevenism", where Museveni is elevated to the status of a god.
Uganda is a very hard place to live in. There are very few jobs, and they are given to friends of the current regime. Western missionaries are rampant and are given privileged access to state leaders and institutions. And western donations pour into our local churches, creating powerful fiefdoms among the religious caste. These clergy demand that our state parliament pass laws that support their worldview, for instance, making homosexuality a capital criminal offense; while at the same time, children are regularly abused by religious leaders without consequence.
We have heard President Museveni himself telling Ugandans to trust and respect God by not challenging him on many issues failing our country. His wife Janet Museveni is the patron of all Pentecostal churches of Uganda as well as a Member of the Ugandan Parliament. When she was running for Parliament, she told the masses that God sent her to run for a political office and that she has God's phone number.
Despite these claims, the Museveni regime is the most corrupt and oppressive government. The Musevenis enjoy luxury that is blessed and endorsed by the religious leaders yet at the expense of taxpayers. The president regularly and publicly opens the tax coffers for religious leaders and religions to spread his prestige while hospitals go unfunded and without supplies and many women die during childbirth.
Besides being a Member of Parliament, Mrs Museveni is also a state minister in charge of Kalamoja, a far northeastern part of Uganda, where citizens are dying of famine because of an extended multi-year drought. People there are so hungry they are eating mango leaves to try to survive. [Note: Mango leaves are indigestible and akin to sandpaper.] Yet Minister Museveni does not make arrangements to provide food or water - we do not even hear her praying for rains. What she has done since she joined the Parliament is make and promote bills That made the 8th OctoberNational Prayer Day. This is a new national holiday that is celebrated one day ahead of National Independence Day which comes on 9th October of each year.
In addition to the failing and impotent state institutions, 80% of all the information broadcasted in Uganda's media, both on air and in print, is religious. We have more than 30 radio stations purposely built to just promote religion and President Museveni. All powers are in the hands of the President: Nothing can be reported without his endorsement. Even the secular media houses are required to make 75% of their broadcasting religious. Our people are being fed government-sponsored religion night and day to help distract them from their misery and poverty.
Then we have the unfriendly bullying religionists, women and men, young and old, Islamists and Christians standing on every street corner of Kampala from morning to evening, shouting to passers-by to turn to their gods and loudly praying for a decaying city which they have branded the "city of God". These preachers are encouraged by the Musevenis. It is actually a good job, because many people contribute money to them. We also have churches and mosques competing with one another by turning their outside loud-speakers to maximum decibels from dusk to dawn.
…..Oh Uganda!

President, Atheist Association of Uganda

Circa 1929 "W553" Marble Bubble Gum Novelties Pack Collection (14)
Starting Bid - $1,000, Sold For -
Collection of fourteen unopened nonsport packs related to the W553 baseball series, issued in packs entitled "Bubble Gum Novelties" by Marble Gum in 1929. The address of Marbel Gum is printed on each wrapper ("3411 N. 2nd St., Phila., PA"), which is translucent, allowing one to view the card inside upon close inspection. Each wax pack contains a stick of gum and one card picturing a famous movie star printed in duo-tone surrounded by an elaborate ornate design. For years this set has always been known only as W553 (issuer unknown) and while we have not seen the movie-star cards in this series before, over the years we have seen W553 baseball cards that are unmistakably from the same series. This find of fourteen unopened packs is particularly significant as it identifies the manufacturer as well as defines this issue as a bubble-gum card set, and one of the earliest of all bubble-gum sets. These packs are from a newly discovered extraordinary find of rare unopened circa 1930s nonsport cards, all of which are offered in this auction. These unopened packs look exactly as they did when they were shipped to candy stores and distributors in 1929. When received here for auction, twelve of the fourteen unopened packs were still in a bundle tied with string, exactly as originally shipped from the manufacturer. Also included is an additional single pack that has been opened (includes original gum, wrapper, and one card). Total 15 packs (14 unopened and one opened). Reserve $1,000. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR

CHICAGO -- Better safe than sorry. This could very well emerge as the food industry mantra for the 1990s, particularly with regard to the handling of fresh foods and their connection to instances of foodborne illness. Retailers across the country are chanting it louder now than probably ever before. Concerns about the microbes that can harm customers -- and the publicity that can hurt sales -- were a big topic at the industry's biggest annual gathering, the Food Marketing Institute's ...
