The China Bubble..
China has reached a critical impasse that can only end badly for those countries dependent on exports to China.
Several factors will reach a climax in the next few years.
Their major problem is that they hold an enormous surplus of other nations currencies. (mostly US dollars)
This is extremely dangerous.. There are two main reasons for this surplus..
1. China has been exporting billions of hard products and accepting a billion paper IOUs in return!
These papers (US dollars) are useless in domestic China. They can't pay wages or buy anything local in a foreign currency. The only use for them is to pay for imports or imported services.
A fundamental definition that many people forget is that TRADE means exchange of GOODS.. Exporting billions of goods MUST be matched by Importing billions of goods! Not matched by billions of IOUs.
The IOUs (US Dollars) are supposed to be just temporary 'place holders' to balance the books.. The placeholders - in and out - should hover around zero.
Hording placeholders is like hording Zimbabwe currency! If anything goes wrong in Zimbabwe, you are bankrupt.
The worlds financial markets are very worried about the future of the US dollar and China is starting to panic over the trillions of them that it is stuck with.
2. For years, China has artificially held down the value of their currency. They did this to give them an unfair advantage in the export markets.
Holding down your currency by 10% is the same as bribing your customers with a 10% personal tip - it is akin to 'dumping' or selling below cost.
This 'cheating' had had an unforeseen and dangerous consequence. Any currency sitting below it's real value attracts the sharks of the financial world. The currency 'ETF' traders will pour funds into such a currency while it is low and - when it inevitably returns to a higher value, they will make a killing by selling off those IOUs at the higher price.
China saw this coming years ago.. They realized that as soon as they bow to international pressure and raised the value of their currency, the ForEx sharks will move in and strip a zillion dollars out of their economy! Their only defense was to invest that huge amount of money in something that would be a permanent asset and would produce a return higher than the percentage they were going to loose.
The only thing that could possibly meet those 'high return' requirements was a housing and property boom.
So, like Ireland, China poured that foreign money into a housing and property bubble.
Like Ireland, they now have whole cities of empty houses and apartments. They were hoping the average wage of the Chinese worker would continue to rise at the 2006 rate and those workers would be able to buy all these empty houses and thus justify the bubble.
Of course, the GFC ended that wage spiral and there is now no chance those workers will ever afford these houses.
China is now trying to 'buy time'.. They are now building other things of permanent value like bridges and ports to keep the illusion of perpetual growth alive. They prevent their own media from reporting on these issues. Many academics in China have no idea what is happening, they will write-in to articles like this and deny there are any empty suburbs or cities. "I live here - I should know, there are NO empty cities!" They are stunned when they see these cities on 'Google World' for themselves. (Thank you Google)
The obvious problem for Australia and those other countries that have half their economy based on exports to China is that this is all unsustainable! The building boom in China is quietly being scaled down, new cities are being abandoned on the drawing board.. (thank goodness) But mineral imports have not yet declined! (They are contracted and can't be quickly canceled.) This means China is stuck with growing stockpiles of these import commodities like iron ore. Having a stockpile naturally mean it won't be just a minor reduction in orders but could be a complete pause! That would be a disaster for Australia..
The entire financial world is waiting to see how this all comes unstuck.
Another serious danger to Australia comes from the inevitable price-war between the various suppliers of iron ore and coking-coal..
Brazilian mining giant 'Vale' is the worlds largest supplier of iron-ore and is currently purchasing many of the best deposits of iron ore in the world - notably in Africa.
Ominously, Vale announced in August 2010 that it was cutting its price in response to the fall in demand from China. Vale says that in-spite of this price cut, they intend to double their revenue [in this year.]
It isn't hard to see (except for the Australian politicians and media) what Vales intention is. To achieve a doubling of revenue, they need to take much of our share of the Chinese demand.
Now that the annual negotiated price has been replaced by a quarterly 'bargained' price, the iron-ore market is now open to sudden discount wars.
Subsequent to the jailing of Australian 'Iron-ore' executive Stern Hu, China is very angry at "Australias" attempt to bribe and corrupt the pricing negotiation process - China would eagerly cut Australias share of the market.
If you exclude the 'export to China' figures, Australia is already in recession.
When this madness is terminated, Australia could face a three year collapse of its mining export bonanza.
Australias credit rating is sustained only by its export figures and will be downgraded. This will mean the banks will have to pay more for their funding and mortgage rates will have to rise.
Simultaneously, mining employment will fall and unemployment will rise, average wages will decline and many home owners will find themselves unable to pay. This will force a small increase in the numbers of foreclosures.
A thousand financial advisers have been warning that Australias housing market is overvalued and that there will be a correction and a likely Foreclosure wave. The first few Foreclosure signs that go up will trigger a panic attack and 10,000 people will say "I told you so".. It will probably be a self-fulfilling disaster.
As an example of what will happen when mining employment declines..
Before the mining boom, Electricians in Oz were "a dime a dozen".. The competition forced their 'hourly charge rate' to zero.. They (we) were only able to survive on the "copper margin" (the difference between what we paid for the copper and fittings and what we could charge for them - the retail price of those components.) In other words, if we wanted the contract, we could not charge anything for our time.
It was very hard to survive and maintain our vehicles.
When the mining boom hit, half the electricians "headed west" and we were no longer "dime a dozen" - we could once again charge for our hours..
If the mining boom stops - all those Electricians will return east and they might again have to survive on the "copper margin".
Average wages WILL obviously decline and many home owners will be have to foreclose.
Breaking News..
* 23/Dec/2010 - From the 'China Daily' - "Premier Wen Jiabao sees China's growth as "unstable, unbalanced, uncoordinated and ultimately unsustainable"
* 30/Dec/2010 - From the 'Shanghai Daily' - "It's only a matter of time before China's housing bubble bursts!"
* 22/Jul/2011 - From Max Ward - a regular contributor..
"Chinas massive move into R&D investment and subsequent global export of Hi-Tech product is an attempt to solve two severe problems.
1. After years of massive Trade imbalance, China is the sorry owner of over a trillion USA 'IOU's (dollars). These can't be used internally, they can only be used to import commodities from countries that will accept these IOUs.
They have previously used those commodities to build empty cities and bridges to nowhere. They now realize they need to only import commodities that can be value-added and re-exported. And that requires massive investment in R&D.
2. China is loosing confidence in the USA as a bottomless export market. They are planning to use these R&D projects to export hi-tech items like Thorium reactors to the whole world.
China is planning to dominate the global Hi-Tech export market in all areas critical to a Nations development. Eg. GM crops; Cheap energy; Fresh water equipment; cheap vehicles.. Issues like Patent violation and 'fair pricing' are irrelevant.

Service Learning
Create a class
Service learning is a great way to fulfill your academic responsibilities while acting on your passions; and it is an opportunity to get valuable, real-world, resume-building experience while making a difference in the world.
There are many ways to create a service learning class. You can begin by working with a professor to refashion a single assignment into a service learning project – an academically equivalent project, which also benefits a community partner. For example, for the final paper in a general writing class, your professor may let you write a grant or publicity materials for a community partner.
If there is a particular class in which service learning would work well, you can brainstorm possible service learning projects and ask your professor whether she or he would like help developing a service learning component to his/her class. Working together, you can flesh out the project and reach out to community partners.
Need some inspiration?

In his latest column, Quint Kessenich talked about the newest trends in college lacrosse, and what teams are doing on the field to react to those trends.
A big one: Zone defense.
It's something 2011 Laxie Award Winner for Coach of the Year, Dom Starsia, implemented out of necessity this year and talked about in his podcast with John Jiloty.
So in this week's reader poll we ask: What's the future of zone defense next year? Will we see more of it? Less? No real change? Answer below and sound off in the comments.

Brenner and colleagues1 have nicely shown that average PaO2 levels of less than 100 mm Hg or greater than 200 mm Hg are independently associated with higher mortality and worse discharge Glasgow Coma Scale scores in 1547 patients with a brain Abbreviated Injury Score of 3 or greater after risk adjusting for mechanism of injury, age, Injury Severity Score, sex, and admission Glasgow Coma Scale score. It has been well established that hypoxia is detrimental to outcome in brain injury. Because of this, there may be a tendency to give higher levels of oxygen to prevent hypoxia. Indeed, the authors found that 43% of their patients had PaO2 values greater than 200 mm Hg in the first 24 hours of care. Unfortunately, this hyperoxia appears to be detrimental to outcome compared with normoxia and is just as bad as hypoxia. If true, these are important findings that could change the way we approach patients with traumatic brain injury.

Therapeutic siRNA Interventions
From our June 15 issue: Treatments based on RNA interference are improving now that technologies are delivering longer-lasting gene silencing.!--h2>
The 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded jointly to Andrew Z. Fire and Craig C. Mello for their 1998 discovery of RNA interference (RNAi), gene silencing by double-stranded RNA.
Today, RNAi-based therapeutics are in Phase II and Phase III clinical trials. The rapid development of this technology demonstrates its enormous potential for treatment of a range of diseases.
Cancer Immunotherapy
The natural capability of certain immune cells, such as dendritic cells, macrophages, and antigen-presenting cells, to recognize nonmethylated CpG motifs in DNA oligonucleotides can be harnessed for cell-specific siRNA delivery, by tricking the cells to internalize siRNAs along with the single-stranded DNA.
HIV Cellular Therapy
Cells that do not express CCR5 are resistant to HIV-1. A recent approach to engineering cellular immunity to HIV infection in normal cells relies on RNAi to functionally knock out most, if not all, of the endogenous expression of CCR5, the primary co-receptor used by HIV-1 to infect a target cell.
Little is known about the processing and trafficking of immunostimulatory types of siRNA. TLR9, the receptor that specifically recognizes nonmethylated DNA, is critical for response to bacteria. It is involved in processing of inflammation due to injuries, and it can lead to very strong systemic immune responses.
Research at the City of Hope showed that macrophages from TLR9-deficient mice internalize CpG-siRNA molecules effectively; however, there is no silencing effect. Molecules tend to stay in the cells, maturing and eventually degrading. In TLR9-positive cells, there is improved trafficking (from endosomes to the endoplasmic reticulum) and release into the cytoplasm. The role of TLR9 in enhancing siRNA release is speculated to be related to TLR9-dependent antigen cross-presentation, which enables transport of the endosomal cargo for processing in the cytoplasm.
Micro-Mediated Control of HCV
Liver-specific microRNA miR-122 plays varied roles in cholesterol metabolism and hepatocellular carcinoma as well as in promoting hepatitis C viral (HCV) replication.
Structural Basis for Gene Silencing
Small-RNA-guided gene regulation has emerged as one of the fundamental principles in cell function. The major protein players in this process are members of the Argonaute protein family, highly specialized binding modules that accommodate the small RNA component and coordinate downstream gene-silencing events.

There were things Michael Vick could have done better. When his entire team was struggling against Minnesota in a pivotal Week 16 game, Vick could have sucked up a bruised quadriceps and made the Eagles' offense better, not worse.
The great ones do.
In the final minute last Sunday against Green Bay from the Packers' 27-yard line, Vick could have checked down to Jeremy Maclin or LeSean McCoy for a safe play that surely would have moved the Eagles inside the 20. If he was determined to go for the touchdown, he could have thrown the ball high and outside - instead of low and inside - to a place where only Riley Cooper could catch it, or it would sail out of bounds.

15 Things Apple Says Could Kill Its Business
Apple is in strong financial shape, reporting its best quarter ever leading into the busy holiday shopping season, and having more than $50 billion in cash in the bank.
But even Apple has to worry -- about competitors running off with its markets, suppliers screwing it with bad terms, and executives fleeing.
Apple expresses some of its biggest worries every three months in its quarterly report to the SEC, in a section called "Risk Factors."
It doesn't get very specific -- no mention of Google or Android by name, for example -- and very few of the risks could actually cripple the company. But it's still interesting to look at.

Early voting is in its second week now, so how are the numbers?
Elections Supervisor Ginger Nickerson says they've had a little over 600 people vote early.
Nickerson says that's pretty standard for a non-presidential election year.
Still, they're optimistic for a big turnout on election day.
"We're preparing for a huge turnout, we don't prepare for small, we prepare for huge. So we'd like to see a lot of people come out but it's still early to see," says Nickerson.
The last day to vote early is Friday, November fourth at 5 p.m at 222 Pine Ave.
Election day is November 8.

Jennifer's Body is getting panned in some circles for the alleged tragic flaw of a horror movie not being particularly scary. They're mostly right -- Diablo Cody's genre follow-up to Juno doesn't really elevate the heart rate very often. But I think that's because it tips to the "high school" side of the "high school horror" balance; it's more of a teen drama with a bloody metaphorical twist than a full-on horror flick.
That may disappoint some fans, but it sort of gets at why high school horror movies work so well, so often. It's a cliche that "high school is scary," but movies that make a connection between the reasons high school is scary in real life and whatever monstrosity happens to be stalking or haunting the characters are the ones that tend to leave the biggest impression.
In honor of Jennifer's Body, which I think will be unjustly maligned in the weeks to come, here's a list of some high school horror movies that figured this out -- and a few that were just plain fun.
1. Ginger Snaps - The movie's IMDb plot summary helpfully begins: "This film uses werewolfism as a metaphor for puberty." Well, yeah -- though it is generally considered polite not to lead with something like that. (Sorry.) But it's not all allegorical navel-gazing. Ginger Snaps is an elegant, harsh piece of teen horror that brutally plays on teenage insecurities, and is a pretty good werewolf flick too. It's a shame that director John Fawcett largely disappeared into the (better-paying, I hear) abyss of television. strong>
2. Deadgirl - You probably haven't seen this one; it played last year's Toronto International Film Festival, where it proved too twisted and bleak to find a distributor. It's about two high-schoolers who find an undead, unkillable woman imprisoned in a basement and proceed to make her their personal sex slave. You know how they say that kids can be cruel? Deadgirl is about that -- and also how society gives up on its "lost causes," who then have little choice but to turn into criminals and undesirables. It's creepy, challenging stuff.
3. The Faculty - Still one of Robert Rodriguez's best films, I think; a clean, classical monster movie, impeccably executed and suspenseful. This subgenre has always been too eager to ridicule teachers, and Rodriguez -- along with Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson -- recognized that there was plenty of horror fodder there too. (See also the inferior Teaching Mrs. Tingle.)
4. Let the Right One In -- Okay, so maybe this is junior high, or whatever the hell they call it in Sweden. Still, the movie's insight into the social dynamics of young'uns is devastating: the rotten seek out the rotten, and when they get together, watch out. Let the Right One In has received no shortage of praise, but I think that to read it just as a "vampire movie" or, God forbid, a "love story," is to sell it short.
5. Prom Night (1980) - I can't really say that this movie holds up, and it is indirectly responsible for one of the worst horror remakes among this decade's slew. But it's classic stuff, isn't it? The raspy phone calls, the severed head, Leslie Nielsen... Just like high school
6. Dance of the Dead - When this played SXSW in 2008, some of us -- coughWeinbergcough -- saw it twice. At the festival. Watching the nerds and losers save the town from zombies on prom night is that much fun. This is one of the most gleeful, high-energy horror movies in recent years (it's actually kind of a comedy, but that doesn't really distract from the zombie goodness), and the fact that it couldn't get a bona fide release is kind of unconscionable.
7. Carrie - Ah, the doyenne of the high school horror, and one of my favorite movies of all time, really, no kidding. This is high school angst, anger and heartbreak writ large, telepathic and deadly. The split-screen melee that concludes the movie is terrifying as a cinematic manifestation of rage, and much of what precedes it has me in tears every time I see the film.

Mitch Macello, 26, recently moved from Pittsburgh to Williamsport to work with the First United Methodist Church, directing its college outreach program. He believes he has been called to help students, through faith, battle through the trials of college life.
"I see this as a wonderful opportunity to build a community," Macello said.

"I don't want to just shake people's hands and send them on their way. I want to live a Christian life along with these students - be there in their failures and their successes," he said.
Macello recognizes that college students have reached a pivotal time in their lives. No longer living with the rules set by their parents, many students find it difficult to rectify a Christian morality with the American perception that college is a time to explore every option.
"It's become accepted in our culture that you need to make poor choices in college in order to get the 'real' experience. Then later in life, you'll buckle down and be responsible," Macello said.
"Then you're 45 and you have all these things that still make you happy - kids, house, dog, car - but still feel empty, so you begin to seek faith. What would it look like if a person could recognize that they need faith at 23, and continue on that path for a lifetime? How much more powerful and meaningful would that path be?" Macello asked.
Macello, who has worked with campus ministry for about four years, was inspired by a mentor he had as an undergraduate student at Carnegie Mellon University.
"I had a mentor my last year-and-a-half of college, with whom I was able to ask tough questions, like 'How am I supposed to feel about this part of the Bible?' " Macello said.
After some time working together, Macello's mentor thought he was ready to begin ministering to other students on campus. But Macello wasn't so sure.
After much praying and contemplation, he agreed to attend a nine-month program that would prepare him for campus ministry.
"But there's a saying that God prepares the called, he doesn't call the prepared, and I took heart in that," Macello said.

Why I said no to a divorce reality showJessica Ashley
I was surprised the question came so bluntly, particularly since it was a stranger asking.
Did infidelity play a part in your marriage?
I was even more surprised by my quick, definitive response, but maybe that was easier because it was a stranger asking.
I've written extensively about my marriage in its happy days. And then I wrote about the slow avalanche of problems that finally gave way, the mountain of my marriage collapsing around me while I carried a toddler and laundry basket full of clothes and books and toys and fled to my parents' house. I've written much, much more about the divorce that took 16 agonizing months and the years of dating and finding love and being a stressed but blissful single mom since then. I've told the story in many ways, many times, and to many people.
I have been asked some very intimate details. And I have been asked this question, the one about cheating, by people close to me, by men on a first date, by readers and by people I don't know at all. I am not a stranger to responding to the accusation of infidelity. It's just that I have not publicly written about it. Until now.
Sometimes skipping over that part of the story was hard. I wanted to to talk about the gut-plummet that happened when I realized what was going on, confirmed it in minutes, scoured the house for evidence and then dropped it all in the middle of the floor in a marriage counseling session hours later. I wanted to write about the internal conflict as I considered staying, trying even though I'd always said infidelity was the one relationship deal-breaker I'd had — did it make me less of a feminist? could we survive it? would I find my way back to trust?
But I stayed relatively quiet instead. It was a legal choice as we entered and re-entered the courtroom during divorce negotiations. It was a self-protective choice as I turned away from that traumatic time, huddling myself and my son into certain safe corners. And it was a healing choice as I tended to the wounds that were easily re-opened.
Most importantly, it was a family choice. When it all went down, I decided to focus the story on my son and me, blurring my ex-husband out of the picture as much as possible.
What changed last month when a stranger emailed me out of the blue, asking me forthrightly if there had been infidelity in the marriage?
You might think that I answered, and quickly, because the stranger posing the question was a producer from a reality show who was interested in featuring the story in an episode on an upcoming season. But that's not it. Honest.
I said yes because I thought there might be an opportunity to tell the whole story — not just the sad and dramatic cheating part but also the chapters that followed of crazy leaps of faith and living with my parents and rebound relationships and being one lady trying to teach a small boy to pee standing up and exhaustion and exhilaration and big-time happiness — to a bigger audience. Infidelity isn't the end, that's honestly what I thought as I hit send on the email response. And that's the story I can tell.
Except that this producer wasn't interested in the chapters that followed. He was interested in my side. And my ex-husband's side.
And although I explained kindly to the producer that my ex-husband and I do not share a communicative relationship, he kept asking if I'd ask him to participate anyway or if he could contact him directly. I'd said yes to the question about infidelity, but the no-no-nos were quickly piling up.
The producer assured me it would be balanced, done tastefully, and no one would be designated "the bad guy." Then he sent me a video of a previous show. It included the "other woman."
I wasn't even interested in hearing the words of the third person. I'd made an easy and conscious choice to never contact her. She was irrelevant. It was my then-husband who I was in the relationship with, not her. That's when the no-no-nos became an oh hell naw.
The show, called Unfaithful, tells the story of infidelity through interviews with each of the participants. Oh, and with actors recreating scenes. I am sure you have seen these shows before, and so you know the ex-wife stomping on a cell phone and storming out of a party is one of them, and another is the hunkier-than-real-life shirtless husband making sweet love to his red-lacy-lingerie-and-pearls-clad mistress under the gauzy canopy of a four-poster bed.
Here's a different episode than the one I was sent, but one that will give you a very good idea of what I watched.
This was embarrassing to watch. Not for me, not because I would be the stompy cell-phone destroyer. But because a story I am sure was exploding with emotion was reduced to filters and fake pearls.
And then there were the kids. The couple (+1) featured talked openly about their children, including footage and photos of the daughters when the family was in tact, then depressed looking when the parents were separating, then with the dad and new girlfriend, and finally with the mom and dad getting along while playing a board game all together. I saw that and knew there was just no way to entertain the request any longer. If I'd agreed to move forward there would have surely been interviews and casting whatnots, and this round of emails wasn't a sure in. No matter. I was out.
I said no thank you to the producer. There was no other response. I'd be happy to share my story — mine –– I shared with the producer in one last confidence, but not his, not hers, and certainly not my son's.
My story is not cheesy, not balanced, not tasteful. I've had enough therapy to know what I am accountable for in the crumbling of my marriage, and to understand that cheating was one symptom of some much bigger problems. I also know that I am not responsible for the infidelity manifested physically, emotionally, and financially. I know that that, in these five years, I have already given plenty of time and attention to the stories (true and otherwise) from the other party involved.
I said no to this offer to be on TV because of time. Not because enough time has passed since it happened, but because all this time has shown me what remains from those beginning moments and what is important — me and my kid. This kind of show wouldn't tell that story and wouldn't serve anyone in my family well.
It felt good to say yes, to admit aloud that infidelity was a part of my story. To release the shame and worries and self-protection and just say it. And when someone is interested in putting the really juicy, hilarious, thrilling, awesome adventures on television — the moments that have followed the unfaithfulness — then I will be happy to consider putting that all on air.
If infidelity was a part of your break-up, would you tell your story on TV?
Do shows like this help or hurt people who have been in cheating relationships?

Specific common denominators in the angry woman syndrome set it apart from any established presentday classification. These symptoms are periodic outbursts of unprovoked anger, marital maladjustment, serious suicide attempts, proneness to abuse of alcohol and drugs, a morbidly oriented critical attitude to people and a contrary obsessive need to excel in all endeavors, with an intense need for neatness and punctuality. This constant striving for perfection is their undoing. Three cases are presented along with the corollary syndrome of their suffering male counterparts who react to the anger by an intensification of their weak masculine drives. Treatment is at best palliative and is usually resisted.

Sen. Ted Cruz talks faith on 700 Club: "Avoid being a Pharisee"
WASHINGTON – Sen. Ted Cruz says he doesn't pay much attention to labels of "GOP rock star," despite a flattering interview with the evangelical Christian Broadcasting Network portraying him as a rising force with faith and family at heart.
Video of the interview, which aired this morning on The 700 Club, featured Cruz reading Proverbs around the dinner table and interacting with his wife, Heidi, and their two daughters at their Houston home.
Cruz, a Southern Baptist, discussed the central role faith plays in his life.
"Life, liberty, and property, the fundamental natural rights of man are given to every one of us by God, and the role of government fundamentally is to protect those rights," he said.
Cruz described faith not as organized religion, but as "a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior." The Rev. Pat Robertson, a former GOP presidential candidate, introduced the segment.
Cruz also said politicians have an obligation to "avoid being a Pharisee" and "ostentatiously wrapping yourself in your faith." The Pharisees were a Jewish sect known for strict observance of law.
The network called Cruz's work on Capitol Hill "remarkable" and highlighted his stances against raising the debt ceiling and the confirmation of Secretary of State John Kerry. It also noted the criticism he received after questioning Chuck Hagel during his confirmation hearing for Secretary of Defense, but CBN reporter David Brody said, "Conservatives applaud his approach."
Cruz's wife, an executive with Goldman Sachs in Texas, also praised her husband during the at-home interview.
During the campaign, she said, "He only got better and better as things got tougher and tougher, and that gave voters and certainly us as his family just a lot of confidence that's he's pretty good."

The New Orleans Privateers (3-6) surrendered two big innings, which made the difference in a 10-3 loss to the Indiana State Sycamores (8-1) on Saturday afternoon at Zephyr Field.
Both teams traded a run in the opening frame. After Jacob Hayes' RBI single gave the Sycamores an early 1-0 edge, Hezekiah Randolph provided a response for the Privateers. Randolph's double to deep center scored Samuel Capielano to tie the game at 1-1 after an inning.
The game remained scoreless until the fifth. After starter Darron McKigney retired the first batter of the inning, Landon Curry singled and advanced to third on a throwing error. Cody Zimmerman knocked Curry in with an RBI single to give Indiana State the lead at 2-1. Three of the next four batters collected hits, and chased McKigney with two outs. By the time the frame was finished, Indiana State held a 5-1 advantage.
New Orleans got one of those runs back in the bottom of the fifth. Reese Kanter singled to first and Chaz Boyer came around to score to cut the deficit to 5-2. However, Hezekiah Randolph struck out to end the frame with two runners on.
The Sycamores capped off the scoring by doubling their total and posting five runs in the seventh with all being charged to reliever Chase Martin. Indiana State collected seven hits including an RBI triple from Brian Romero and a two-run single by Curry who wound up with four total hits on the day.
Reese Kanter collected two hits and an RBI while extending his hitting streak to ten games. The Privateers collected 10 hits on the afternoon, but stranded nine runners. McKigney picked up the loss in his first decision of the season.
David Stagg improved to 3-0 by pitching seven innings for the Sycamores. Eberle went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs. Hayes collected two hits, and had an RBI and a run scored.
The Privateers will close the series tomorrow with a first pitch slated for 1 p.m. Nick Halliday will take the ball for New Orleans. -- By Emmanuel Pepis

Much like its noble, sculpted hero, Man of Steel finds itself caught between two identities, two sets of purposes. Where the anguished Superman (the appropriately square-jawed, blue-eyed Henry Cavill) is torn between the superior might of his native Krypton and the needy folks of his adopted Earth, the movie can't decide if it wants to be a particularly thoughtful brand of superhero saga or a deafeningly generic summer action movie.
So it ends up being both, to the detriment of it and us.
For at least its first half, Man of Steel stakes its claim as a confident and psychologically complex sci-fi origins legend, layered with flashbacks and just the right amount of existential torment. We see Clark Kent as a bullied boy who knows he's different, and we see him as a young man adrift in lonely locales far from the heartland home of his Earth parents (a well-cast Kevin Costner and Diane Lane), and even farther from his birth father (Russell Crowe). The saturated metallic look accentuates his otherworldliness, and the dark shards of realism remind us that Christopher Nolan is on board as a writer, producer and conduit of Dark Knight pedigree.
But Man of Steel has another master to serve: the Mammon of the summer blockbuster and all of the rote mayhem that entails. When Man of Steel gets dumb and predictable, it does so faster than a speeding bullet. The showdown between the benevolent, blue-suited alien who goes by Kal-El and his Krypton nemesis, General Zod (Michael Shannon), goes on for an eternity and gets stuffed with the kind of detailed nonsense that weighs down lesser movies of this ilk. One building crumbles, then another. One climax leads to another, then another. It's as if Man of Steel suddenly remembered an obligation to compete with the Transformers and Avengers franchises.
Some will say the spilt personality marks the difference between Nolan and director Zack Snyder, but that's too easy. Snyder's name is front and center on the Man of Steel credits, so give him the bulk of the credit and the blame and keep this in mind: Hollywood's aversion to risk takes on superhuman dimensions once summertime rolls around. Creating a product to please every possible ticket buyer is a way to guarantee a movie at war with itself.
That war's primary casualty is the man of steel himself, the rare superhero who deserves the "iconic" descriptor. Man of Steel sets him up to be more intriguing than he's ever been on screen, a sensitive misfit feared and hunted by the world that needs him. The movie has the gumption to dispose of the hidden identity highjinks between Clark/Superman and Lois Lane (Amy Adams). It takes some smart chances.
Then it squanders them. It seems leaping tall buildings in a single bound is kid stuff next to the task of unshackling Superman from dominant blockbuster formulas. Not to get misty-eyed about it, but something is wrong when the most classic of comic-book creations becomes just another cog in the machine. In some dark corner of the city, Lex Luthor unleashes a maniacal laugh.

Directed by Zack Snyder. PG-13 (intense sequences of sci-fi violence, action and destruction, and some language). 143 mins. In wide release.

We write these words with great sadness and disbelief — our beloved Rosh Yeshiva, HaRav Yisrael Noach ben Yitzchak Mattisyahu Weinberg – passed away this morning, Feb 5/ Shevat 11.
The funeral will be today at 1:30 pm, at the Ahavas Torah Shul in Kiryat Zanz, Jerusalem, and will proceed from there to Har Menuchos.
Words at this time feel wholly inadequate to describe the greatness of Rabbi Weinberg, of blessed memory. The shock is too great and the pain too fresh, but the situation demands a few words, and over the next week a more fitting tribute will be created.
Rabbi Weinberg was a Jewish leader and visionary par excellence. Every fiber of his being was animated by the reality of the Almighty and the truth of Torah. He lived with the awareness of God — His infinite love and awesomeness — and the power of Torah to instruct us on how to live a most meaningful life.
Rabbi Weinberg passionately believed in the greatness of every human being, because God Himself testified to the inherent greatness in every human being.
Rabbi Weinberg exuded love and concern for every Jew, and was a beloved father to thousands.
Rabbi Weinberg dedicated his life to bringing a renaissance within Jewish people, to reach out to every Jew and reconnect him to the depth and meaning of our heritage. The Jewish people are meant to be a light unto nations; Rabbi Weinberg undertook the task to galvanize the Jewish people and inspire us to live up to our mission and be Kiddush Hashem – to sanctify God's Name in this world.
"The hidden things are for Hashem, our God, but the revealed things are for us and our children forever, to carry out all the words of this Torah" (Deut. 29:28). Rabbi Weinberg lived with the reality that the all the revealed things are our responsibility. If masses of Jews are assimilating, it's our responsibility to bring each and every one back. If there is a threat to the Jewish Nation or to the Western world, it cannot be ignored. We must meet the challenges facing us head on and do whatever we can to remedy the situation.
Rabbi Weinberg was fighting the battles of the Jewish people until his last day. Today we are orphans.

Baruch Dayan HaEnes. I share R Gil's sentiments.
Baruch Dayan Ha-emet.
Once, I caught part of a talk Rav Weinberg ZT"L was giving at Young Israel of Southfield (MI). He was pointing to today's concept of "killing time" as symptomatic of an attitude that makes us waste our days on earth and literally kill ourselves. He always applied himself to the fullest in actively spreading the love of Torah knowledge.
Barukh dayan ha-emes. Rav Noach will be greatly missed.

Novel 'Mary Coin' based on famous Depression-era photograph
It is hard not to be drawn in by Dorothea Lange's iconic photograph called "Migrant Mother." The photo, a now ubiquitous image of struggling farm workers during the Great Depression, is startling in its honest depiction of poverty, strength and despair.
It was this picture, hanging in a gallery at New York's Museum of Modern Art, that inspired acclaimed writer and filmmaker Marisa Silver to pen her new novel, "Mary Coin." Like many other fascinated viewers before her, Silver imagines the moment that the government photographer (here called Vera Dare) approached the destitute family matriarch (Mary Coin) and asked to capture a moment of her life on film. »Read Full Article
A classic performance by youth for Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra
If you're worried about the future of classical music, you should really hear this weekend's Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra concert, which features both a conductor and soloist of the under-30 set.
Guest conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali led the orchestra through beautifully crafted interpretations of music by Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius on Friday evening. He and the orchestra were joined by cellist Andreas Brantelid in a deeply musical rendering of Dmitri Shostakovich's Concerto No. 1 for Cello and Orchestra. »Read Full Article
Chamber Theatre faces tragedy in 'October, Before I Was Born'

In Lori Matthews' "October, Before I Was Born" — which opened at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre Friday, under C. Michael Wright's direction — we spend 90 anxiously unfolding, real-time minutes waiting alongside three of them. »Read Full Article

View from the enemy: Red 94
This isn't the same Rockets team the Thunder swept on back-to-back nights in January. Why? Because Kyle Lowry is back. And that makes the Rockets so much better.
Houston coming in: The Rockets played last night losing to the Grizzlies.
Three Big Things
1. Westbrook vs. Lowry. This is one of those matchups you have to keep an eye on. Lowry is strong and can match up physically with Westbrook better than most. And he's a bulldog defender so he's likely going to get under Westbrook's skin. Might be on red alert for a six or seven turnover game from Russ.
2. Defending Scola. He's a problem. He's always been tough on the Thunder. He's got incredible footwork, is crafty around the basket and will be a tough matchup for whichever Thunder big tries to guard him. Serge Ibaka will need to stay disciplined with all of Scola's pump fakes and drop-steps.
3. Efficiency. Both of these teams try and execute efficiently on offense by getting high percentage shots and lots of free throws. Whoever does it best will win.
Tip at 7:00 CT. Go Thunderers.

I have an interview over breakfast and I've never done this before. Is there anything I need to be aware of when interviewing over a meal?
Shelly, AL
Hi Shelly,
You have to be decisive when you are ordering. Don't hesitate. Keep it simple. Don't order difficult food to eat where you have to use your hands or a lot of napkins. You want a successful interview, so focus on the interviewer and their questions. This is still an interview and that's the purpose of the meeting, so eating is secondary. I would order something very light and easy to chew.
Although you are there for an interview you will be watched. Be decisive. Mind your manners and don't complain about the restaurant, you are a guest. And, another thing, I am 99.9% sure you won't have to pay for this breakfast, but you never know, so be prepared just in case. I would really wonder about a company if they made you pay for breakfast, but I've seen stranger things. Have fun with it! I hope this helps.
Good luck to you!

Are you registered for the 23rd annual Lincoln City Sprint Triathlon? It is coming up soon on Sunday, September 8, 2013. And what is not to love about this race? A beautiful venue, supportive volunteers, and a long history! This has been a rough summer for Tri Races with the threat of algea, but the 23rd annual Lincoln City Sprint Triathlon is still a go!
Race Date: Sunday, September 8, 2013
Registration includes: Long-sleeved technical T-shirt
Course: .75K swim in Devils Lake, 15.5K bike ride and 5K run. The bike and run course are hilly. There will be a water station at the run turn-around.
The Race is not chip timed, but it has race timing. Race timing, music and announcements provided by Eclectic Edge.
Benefits: Lincoln City Parks and Recreation
Post Race: Plentiful post-race refreshments, awards to overall male & female finisher, and ribbons to top three finishers in five-year age groups.
UPDATE: Lincoln City Sprint Tri may become a 'Du'. For the first time in its 23-year history, the Lincoln City Sprint Triathlon may become a "duathlon" instead.
This means the Sept. 8 swim-bike-run event could turn into a run-bike-run race.
And Mother Nature is to blame, thanks to a pesky blue-green algae bloom in Devils Lake that has been slower to dissipate than in recent years.
The annual race features a .75K swim in the lake, followed by a 15.5K bike ride around the lake and a 5K run.
In the mid-1980s the race was canceled due to construction on East Devils Lake Road. Several times the swim has been shortened due to thick fog. But never – until possibly now – has the swim been entirely eliminated from the event.
If the swim portion is canceled, this won't be the first outdoor race where this has occurred. In early August, the MidSummer Triathlon and Wahine All-Women's Triathlon became duathlons because of a blue-green algae bloom in Blue Lake, near Portland. Triathletes are a versatile bunch, so participants took the change in stride and endured an extra leg workout instead of a swim.
With its short but hilly (a.k.a. technical) course, the Lincoln City Sprint Triathlon is known as a great race for both novice and experience athletes.
If this year's race becomes a duathlon, participants will be able to choose from two options: a 5K run/15.5K bike/5K run, or a 15.5K bike/5K run.
Ribbons will be awarded to the top three finishers in five-year age divisions, and all participants will receive a long-sleeved technical T-shirt, refreshments and the satisfaction of enduring a great race – swim or no swim.
Race officials are working closely with the Devils Lake Water Improvement District for the latest updates on lake conditions. A final decision on whether to have a triathlon or duathlon will be made the Friday prior to race day. For information check the Lincoln City Community Center Facebook page, or contact Karl McShane at email@example.com or 541-996-1233.
Registration is still open for individuals and two-person and three-person teams. Fees range from $55 - $75 through Saturday, Sept. 7, or $60 - $80 on race day.
Register on line at www.getmeregistered.com, in person at the Lincoln City Community Center, 2150 NE Oar Place.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Robert Gibbs, a longtime adviser and strategist to President Barack Obama and former White House press secretary, will address Auburn University graduates at the spring commencement May 9, Auburn officials announced today.
An Auburn native, Gibbs graduated from Auburn High School in 1989. Although he did not attend Auburn University, instead graduating from North Carolina State University in 1993, he has been a vocal Auburn fan.
Auburn will award an estimated 3,139 degrees during the 9:30 a.m. ceremony, which will mark the first commencement exercises to take place in Jordan-Hare Stadium since 1968. A live video stream of the event will be available on the university's website.
More commencement details
For more information on the Auburn commencement ceremony, including a parking map, stadium layout and frequently asked questions, visit Auburn's commencement website.
"I couldn't be happier to give something back by speaking to Auburn's 2011 graduating class, who enter an exciting world at an exciting time," said Gibbs. "To me, Auburn University is the heart of the community I was born and raised in and where I will always call home."
Gibbs has been an adviser and strategist to Obama from the early days of Obama's 2004 Senate race to his election to the White House. Most recently, Gibbs has served as the president's press secretary, presiding over daily press briefings.
Gibbs joined Obama's 2004 U.S. Senate campaign as communications director in mid-April 2004 and held the same title at the onset of the 2008 presidential campaign until becoming senior strategist for communications and message during the general election. During the 4 years of intense campaigning and close contact, Gibbs became an integral part of Obama's team.
Gibbs held the role as the press secretary of the Obama administration from Jan. 20, 2009, until stepping down Feb. 11, 2011.
Gibbs garnered headlines when Auburn was preparing to play in the NCAA national championship football game this past season, famously pronouncing that he planned to throw toilet paper over a White House tree Toomer's Corner style if Auburn were to win. He did not follow through on the promise, though, in light of the mass shooting in Arizona that seriously wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

If you only do one thing this weekend: check out Dublin's latest jazz venue
Laurence Mackin
Jazz: Good news on the Dublin front, with a new residency and a new venue – KC Peaches on Dawson Street is to begin jazz nights on Saturdays, starting this weekend. There will be two sets, the first at 8pm, and it is free in. Leading the group this and every Saturday for the foreseeable is jazz guitarist Mike Nielsen, who is, according to this newspaper, "One of the best and most original jazz talents ever produced in this country." I've seen Nielsen play several times and his lyricism is something to behold. His quartet for these shows is rising star Sam Comerford, Cormac O'Brien and James Mackin. Click here for more. DOI: my brother is the drummer.
Have you seen The Artist? No?
Film: There's a classy sounding event on at the IFI in Dublin on Saturday. Fastnet is screening its Irish-Slovenian co-production Circus Fantasticus, and the film's award-winning sound designer Robert Flanagan will do a post-screening Q&A. If that seems like an odd choice, bear this in mind – the film has absolutely no dialogue. It tells the story of a Balkan country sundered by war and violence, featuring a family living in a war zone who are visited by a mysterious travelling circus troupe. The Artist this most certainly is not. There will also be a screening of The Chronoscope, an Irish short mockumentary by writer-director Andrew Legge, detailing the rise and fall of 20th-century Ireland's greatest female inventor. Click here for more.
Classical: This weekend sees the Barrow River Arts Festival take place in Graignamanagh and Borris House in Carlow. The event is programmed and organised by Swiss baroque violinst Maya Homburger and her partner, Barry Guy, a composer and double-bassist (Michael Dervan interviews the pair in tomorrow's Irish Times).
They've created an ambitious programme, featuring the Labeque sisters performing in Duiske Abbey, Evan Parker and the Aurora trio, a Bach and Biber selection from ensembles Calmus and Camerata Kailkenny, an exhibition of the work of English abstract expressionist Albert Irvin and storytelling with Eddie Lenihan. There are no more than three events per day, meaning you can take in all the events without missing a beat. Click here for more details.
The first rule about Body Duet is, you do not talk about Body Duet
Dance: Body Duet is the latest production from Irish Modern Dance Theatre (IMDT), and promises to be something rather special indeed. It thrives on intimate dynamics of togetherness, and according to Seona Mac Réamoinn (recently released from her Irish Times Theatre Awards judging shackles) it contains "athletic nerve-tingling energy, an instinctive trust and interdependence; hands, legs, neck, heads seem to merge into one constant moving form. The exuberant confidence, synchronicity and fluidity of movement parallels a relationship that is high on its own visceral intensity."
You can read an interview with IMDT director John Scott by Una Mullally over here so that you can wax lyrical before and after the show like you understood exactly everything that happened. At least that's what I'm planning to do.
Sci-fi: This last recommendation is a little odd, which is all the more reason to check it out.
Phoenix Convention IX is at the Irish Writers Centre on Saturday and Sunday. The convention is focused on science fiction and fantasy but there also plenty more mainstream cultural heavyweights putting in an appearance, including novelist Kevin Barry, film director Conor Horgan, Bryan Talbot and Mary Talbot, who will be discussing their graphic novel Dotter of Her Father's Eyes, and writers Robert Rankin and John Connolly. One for the specialists and the generalists then. Click here for more of the necessaries.

What's the best tool to teach literacy? "Just reading to your child," says Lise Eliot, assistant professor of neuroscience at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. The number of words children are exposed to in early life actually determines their own verbal intelligence and affects performance in language art classes when children get to school, Eliot says.
Another great thing about books is that they "take you out of your daily world into another one, another vocabulary. It allows children to visualize," Eliot says. "And finally, there is some evidence that simply being read to helps children acquire all the pre-literacy skills such as understanding that text goes from left to right, understanding that there is a break between words, and starting to recognize their ABCs," Eliot says. All this is critical to the transition to independent reading, "and the earlier children are read to, the easier their transition to reading themselves."

@ Roach.....I know Roach is a boxing lifer...he has no other life nor did he ever have one....so Roach will ALWAYS talk outta his ass, he knows no other way to talk!!....24/7 gave us a small background check on the dude called Desert Storm....I don't think Roach is capable of seeing past HIS fighter's abilities....thats why he's been sounding stupid and classless leading up to Manny's last few fights....the empire is falling apart and so is the so called BEST trainer on the planet
IMO, at the end of the day, this fight will be wrapped up in a nice bow for Freddie and his student....if Timmy gets stopped I expect it to be late or midway through by something he doesn't see when he thinks he's seen it all...EARLY he will be aware and his radars will be working....its the point of the fight when he gets settled that could be deadly for him....my 2 pennies!!

UMM Driving Directions
Kirstenn Garrity, Spring 2007
The overall purpose of the two maps I created is to inform the viewers of where places are in location to the school as well as what the Downeast area has to offer to visitors. The two maps were created with the viewers in perspective as each map contains the pertinent cities/towns and towns in which the viewer would need to know in order to get to the University. There are more details on each map, like the airports on the driving direction map and the recreation areas on the Downeast map, all which are of use for the visitors. I created the two maps in hopes that it will be very useful for many different reasons and that people will have a better understanding of where the University is and the area has to offer other than the education aspect of it.
