In total agreement
I don't like to play favorites, but I've got a pretty good class of adult institute students at the moment.This time around, my students seem genuinely interested in the materials and ask lots of questions.
For example, the collocations for the lesson I was teaching today had "have" and "take". One of the students asked, "Excuse me, but can I say, 'take a shit'? Is that a common collocation? Can I say, 'Have a shit?'"
Writing and correcting the difference between "take a shit", "give a shit", "have diarrhea", "have the runs" ,"have to shit", was funny enough that I could barely keep my composure in class.
I told the students, "There are nicer ways to say all of this. You know you don't have to swear to explain this problem, right?"
The students were quite adamant that "when you 'need to take a shit', you need to know how to say it correctly."
No arguments here. Hilarious.

UPDATE: Educators: Computers are tools, not a replacement for teaching, especially for poor students
Tony Orsini decided he had seen enough pain.
As principal of Benjamin Franklin Middle School in Ridgewood, N.J. He witnessed students hurt by reading horrible things written about them on social media websites.
Reaching out to his school's parents, he sent them an e-mail that soon went viral in the tech community.
" NEW YORK -- There is absolutely no reason for any middle school student to be a part of a social networking site!" he wrote last April.
It was a bold move then, and now as Orsini was a speaker this morning at my Hechinger Institute for Education and the Media conference on digital media and instruction at Columbia University's Teachers College.
Where others presenting told the gathered education writers that schools need to move forward, Orsini passionately asked parents need to pull kids back.
"The threat to your son or daughter from online adult predators is insignificant compared to the damage that children at this age constantly and repeatedly do to one another through social networking sites through text or picture messaging.
"It is not hyperbole for me to write that the pain caused by social networking sites is beyond significant – it is psychologically detrimental and we will find out it will have significant long-term effects, as well as all the horrible social effects it already creates.
Orsini made it clear that he is not anti-technology. But he said students "simply are not psychologically ready for the damage that one mean person online can cause, and I don't want any of the students to go through the unnecessary pain that too many of them already have experienced."
Orsini said he knows the social networking sites aren't going away, but he recommends parents wait until students are in high school before they can have accounts in sites like Facebook.
He said schools also need help dealing with the emotional and social problems caused by what is written on such sites.
His technology classes have changed dramatically in the past 10 years. Instead of learning how to prepare spreadsheets, students today are studying research methods, social media and how the be a better consumer of social media.
One the positive side, Joe Kahne of Mills College in Oakland, Calif. said that his studies show social media has increased civic engagement among young people. He pointed to how the Obama campaign used Facebook and gaming sites to draw people into the race.
Other sessions have been about the merits of video games and whether teachers should allow students to use smart phones in class.

"...this is a very important, challenging, and poerful book that provides both insight into and a measure of guidance out of the crisis of Christian theology in the West. Marshall's book exemplifies the classical vocation of faith seeking understanding." First Things
"This remarkable book sets forth a bold thesis and develops it with great subtlety. To theologians and allthinking believers Marshall displays the intellectual superiority of a robust version of the historic faith over reductionist restatements of it. In highly technical style, he furnishes a surround for the kind of advocacy that has been conducted in evangelistic, apologetic, and pastoral mode by Lesslie Newbigin and other significant theological writers of the late twentieth century." The Thomist
"Bruce Marshall's book is best understood by way of this last trope. His purpose is to take the philosophical water of a particular approach to the question of truth - specifically, that found in the analytic philosopher Donald Davidson's work, a corpus in which there is scarcely a spark of explicit interest in theological questions - and to turn it into the Christian wine of a Trinitarian account of truth. This is an important book, both for its particular constructive proposal and for its method. It is in this procedural sense that Marshall's work is most different from that of those modern theologians with whom he takes such effective issue in the first half of the book." The Journal of Religion
"Trinity and Truth is finally an important contribution in philosophy and theology. Virginia Quarterly Review
"Trinity and Truth is finally an important contribution in philosophy and theology." The Virginia Quarterly
"Marshall employs an account of truth that is so intimately linked to belief that it can be stretched for Christian purposes, in which truth is a person. Advanced graduate students an scholars only." Religious Studies Review Jan 2002

Product Description
BioMechanically, the Step-Smart® design is more energy efficient than the competitive designs. It's more desirable than the stiff design, since it allows for good plantarflexion at heel strike. It's more desirable than the flexible designs, since it is preloaded. The benefit of a preload on the system is critical to shock absorption. Also, the Dorsi Flexion assist joints allows the best clearance at swing phase.
With drop foot, however, it is not desirable to have a design with free plantarflexion. Naturally, our bodies control the deceleration at heel strike with an eccentric contraction of the dorsiflexors. This combined with a slight flexion moment at the knee is what creates the best shock absorption. With other flexible solutions, there is too much plantarflexion at heel strike causing foot slap. The result is trauma and pain to the calcaneous.
The reason that the Step-Smart® design is superior to the others is that it provides resistance to plantarflexion the instant the heel hits the ground. Some other designs need to be plantarflexed before the resistance is high enough to be effective. By then it is too late. The shock of hitting the ground has already damaged the foot and ankle. The new Step-Smart® provides a pre-load that controls deceleration at contact. The Step-Smart® drop foot brace has come closest to providing the right amount of deceleration (dictated by pre-load). It is appreciated and considered the best drop foot brace by the medical community because patients feel better during ambulation. This AFO comes with all parts necessary to function properly. Included with each brace: 3 sets of compression components (variety pack), 1 calf strap, 1 I strap, 1 velcro set. Top cover and replacement parts are extra.
RETURN POLICY for USA customers only: If you are unsatisfied with the Step-Smart® brace for any reason, it can be returned for a full refund provided it is returned and postmarked within 7 days of receipt and with all its original parts in like new condition. Exchanges are also under the same terms as above. To be clear, we do not accept returns from International customers.

vrtx lost 31 per share in the last report and lowered guidance etc to what we have now. they lost 27 this Q and the stock is down from 50.48 to 48's. last Q, it went from 50 to 53.19 or so (up 6.5%). will this have a chance of rising tomorrow? or am I grabbing at straws???
You're like a thirsty man in a straw factory.
Last quarter they cushioned the miss by releasing the what is now vx-135 data. They announced everything they had this morning, the partnership info. We realized the gains from that and are, unfortunately, left with just the reaction to earnings tomorrow.
The one bright spot? They did reiterate full year Incivek sales guidance. The problem? They can't sell the stuff.
Vertex took a $58 MM charge for the "anticipated" increase in the fair value of its future payments to Alios. This is encouraging as to the efficacy of vx-135.

A Johns Island man who told police he returned fire in a North Charleston gunfight that fatally wounded a man has been charged with murder.
Police who responded to reports of shots fired on Ferrara Drive found Derrick McKinley, 25, walking on nearby Accabee Road with a handgun in his possession.
In addition to murder, McKinley was charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.
The Charleston County Coroner's Office identified the victim as Dashawn Zellars, 21, of North Charleston. Zellars died of a single gunshot wound, said Deputy Coroner Scott Ramsey.
People gathered at the scene of the shooting Saturday afternoon declined comment. A man with a cane pointed to a place in the street where Zellars lay after being shot. Another man grieved loudly while talking on the phone about the shooting.
McKinley told police that he and Zellars along with two other people got into an argument. McKinley said he went to his car to get his gun after Zellars fired at him, police said.
Zellars was found next to a parked vehicle when officers responded to the 1 a.m. call in the 2600 block of Ferrara Drive. He was transported to Medical University Hospital where he died.
The incident remains under investigation, police said.

For the first time since Hurricane Katrina, this fall's insurance commissioner election won't be entirely about homeowners insurance. Although homeowners insurance in Louisiana remains among the nation's most expensive, auto insurance and health insurance have also become trouble spots as incumbent James "Jim" Donelon faces Baton Rouge public interest attorney Donald Hodge on Oct. 22 ballot to become the state's top insurance regulator.
Donelon, a Republican from Metairie, worked on insurance issues in his 19 years as a state lawmaker before joining the insurance department in 2001. He has served as insurance commissioner since 2006, when former Insurance Commissioner Robert Wooley stepped down. Donelon has been elected to the post twice: in fall 2006 to officially fill the remainder of Wooley's term, and in fall 2007, when he was elected to a full four-year term. During his time in office, he has focused mainly on trying to recruit new homeowners insurance providers to Louisiana.
Hodge is a Democrat who grew up near Lake Charles. Through the AmeriCorps program, Hodge worked with hurricane victims as a legal and social service advocate at Catholic Charities before starting his own law practice and continuing consumer advocacy work. He said he wants to give citizens better access and lower costs for all types of insurance, improve regulation and enforcement of existing laws, and turn the insurance commissioner's office into an appointed position.
Hodge, who ran unsuccessfully for Baton Rouge Metropolitan Council in 2008, is accepting no campaign contributions from companies regulated by the insurance commissioner's office. He has taken out a loan to launch his campaign, will be relying heavily on social media to get out his message and plans to seek endorsements from community groups.
The winner will have his work cut out for him. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, homeowners and auto insurance in Louisiana are among the most expensive in the country, the entire health care market is concentrated in just a few companies, and the federal health care legislation puts new responsibilities on states.
Although Hodge is a relative political newcomer, he could benefit from any protest vote against Donelon, as Jim Crowley did in 2007. Crowley, a Democrat and perennial candidate for statewide office with no formal campaign structure, managed to get 36 percent of the vote against Donelon in a field of four candidates. On the other hand, Republicans have more dominance over statewide offices than they did four years ago.
Jim Donelon
Jim Donelon says he's proud of his record during his past five years in office, and he is running for re-election because there's more work to be done. "I enjoy my job greatly, and I know for sure that we have much yet to do," he said.
Donelon said the homeowners insurance market is stronger and more competitive than it was before Hurricane Katrina. The 12 new companies he has recruited to the state have given consumers new choices. Although prices still remain too high and premiums are still trending upward, he said they're going up only about 5 percent a year.
To protect consumers, the Legislature tripled the size of the Louisiana Insurance Guaranty Fund at Donelon's suggestion to make sure claims will be paid if any of the new companies become insolvent. The Legislature also passed a law saying that insurers can charge only one hurricane deductible per year, even if more storms hit, another Donelon proposal.
Auto insurance has suddenly popped back up as a problem area. Rates have gone up less than 1 percent a year, but the premiums people pay have increased because of Katrina, auto thefts, litigation and poverty. Katrina delivered record losses to the auto insurance industry, as about 300,000 vehicles were destroyed, 150,000 of them with loans and insured, and those losses are now part of the rate base. While auto thefts have dropped, they're still bad. Car accident litigation is higher in Louisiana than in other states. About 12 percent of the state's drivers are uninsured, and 40 percent have only minimal liability coverage because they have few assets to protect, and those conditions tend to lead to lawsuits, Donelon said.
High rates in auto insurance fall disproportionately on the New Orleans area, where drivers in Orleans Parish pay 40 percent more than the statewide average, drivers in Jefferson pay 19 percent more than average, and drivers in Plaquemines pay 15 percent more, Donelon said.
Donelon said he has a task force evaluating various public policy options on auto insurance and will soon have proposals.
The biggest new headache is in health insurance. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners recently deemed Louisiana's health insurance market "noncompetitive." After several companies got out of the business, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana now has 70 percent of the market, up from 40 percent before Katrina. And a lack of competition means higher prices: Louisiana was the eighth most expensive state to buy health insurance for a family of four last year, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation study, up from 25th five years ago.
Meanwhile, the federal health care overhaul puts lots of new responsibilities on states. Donelon said if it were up to him, he would scrap the federal health care plan and start over, but he's got to implement what's there. Louisiana doesn't have a mechanism for reviewing health insurance rates, as the federal government now requires, so Donelon envisions asking the Legislature for that authority. Louisiana has opted not to create a catastrophic health insurance pool of last resort, which means the federal government will step in. Questions of a catastrophic health insurance pool and health insurance exchanges to help people find coverage will require involvement from the state office.
Donald Hodge
Hodge says he's running to become "the people's" insurance commissioner because if Louisiana has the highest homeowners and auto insurance rates in the nation, Donelon isn't doing his job. "I want to try to help the citizens of our state have better access to insurance and lower rates," he said.
Hodge said he would work to increase competition between homeowners insurance companies to bring down rates. He would make insurers live up to their obligations and enforce building codes to make sure construction is strong. Most important, he said he would bring back the Insurance Rating Commission abolished under Donelon to give consumers a check on rates. "They've given away the house saying you can get an automatic 10 percent increase a year, no questions asked," Hodge said, criticizing the system that the Legislature put in place after abolishing the commission.
On auto insurance, Hodge said he wouldn't let companies use credit scores in determining car insurance rates. He would also require more driver education to help reduce the number of accidents, and eventually, rates. He also thinks it was a bad idea for the Legislature to have increased the minimum liability limits for car insurance and said that limiting the number of people who don't have health insurance will help.
On health care, Hodge said he would use his power as commissioner to prohibit discrimination in the delivery of insurance and prevent insurers from making women pay more than men for insurance.
Meanwhile, he said, the Legislature needs to pass a law giving the state the power to regulate health insurance rates to avoid the federal government stepping in. Similarly, the state needs to admit that it must create insurance pools for uninsured citizens. "Because of Louisiana's unwillingness to regulate itself, we have ceded control to the federal government," he said. "I believe it's in our best interests to address it as a state. We know our needs, we know our people."

SALEM - Salem's 2013 Relay for Life will be held from 5:45 p.m. Friday until noon Saturday at Waterworth Memorial Park. This year's circus-themed fundraiser, "Relay Under the Big Top," will be filled with food, games and many special events.
"[Relay for Life] is like a carnival in a way, but with a purpose," said Bev Berger, the Salem Relay for Life chairman of over 20 years.
Every year, cancer survivors are invited to take the first ceremonial lap to kick off the fundraising walk, followed by a dinner in their honor. Berger said about 100 survivors participate every year.
"We always begin with a celebration for survivors," Berger said.
After the opening ceremony, the 19 different Relay teams will take to the track, and the event's many festivities will begin. A new event this year will be the live auction of donated items by Hofmeister Realty and Auction at 7 p.m. on Friday, with Harry Hofmeister as the auctioneer.
Later that night is the traditional luminaria ceremony, in which the luminarias lining the track are lit while a screen scrolls the names of those lost to cancer and those still surviving. Luminarias, white bags with candles that bear the name of those affected by cancer, are dedicated by Relay for Life participants and donors.
"That's a very serious part of Relay," Berger said. "It's just a way of remembering people we have lost and honoring people that are still with us."
Relay activities continue throughout the night with special themed laps on the track, like a high-heeled lap and a backward lap, a scavenger hunt, and a Mountain Dew pong tournament, as well as various activities at the team tents.
A DJ will be coming in at 9 a.m. Saturday. At 10 a.m. there will be a mini circus event for the kids, complete with Grotto clowns, a magician and carnival games.
Also taking place that morning will be a Pantene haircutting event at 9:30 a.m., in which people can have their hair cut and donated to make wigs for cancer patients. Those interested need to donate at least seven inches of hair. The Relay wraps up at noon Saturday with a closing ceremony.
Relay for Life is a team based fundraising event for the American Cancer Society. It is a national event, but the money raised at Salem's relay will stay in the community.
"It's an arm of the American Cancer Society, but the money that's raised through Relay for Life is handled differently," Berger said. "It stays in the county where the money is raised."
She said this event is in honor of people affected by cancer but it is also a community event that is "open to anyone who wants to come." She said she loves to have as many people as possible from the community attend.
"There isn't one of us that's reading that paper that hasn't been touched by cancer," Berger said. "[Relay for life] is just a way to support them and support the cause, and have fun at the same time."

We pointed out back on Valentine's Day that Alabama had a golden opportunity within its grasp with back-to-back road games against last place teams who were a combined 2-7 at home in SEC games.
Well, following Alabama's 88-76 loss today at Auburn -- the most lopsided in SEC play -- the Tide turned that golden opportunity into two losses.
And instead of being tied for third place with Ole Miss, which a win over Auburn would have yielded, the Tide is tied for last place with LSU. And Auburn, which has won three of the last four from Alabama, is instead tied with Ole Miss for third place.
Watching Alabama's most disturbing performance on TV while our crew of Phillip Marshall and John Pruett were at Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum, I was most astonished by the play of Richard Hendrix.
It just seemed like he was getting no elevation whatsoever on shots or rebounds. He certainly didn't seem like himself. He's playing well below the rim -- which wouldn't seem to translate to a logical jump to the NBA.
Alabama also lost that defensive intensity that had been much better in recent weeks.
What'd you think?

Lay Magistrates' Interpretations of 'Substantial Grounds' for Denying Bail
Mandeep K. Dhami
University of Cambridge - Faculty of Law
The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice, Vol. 49, Issue 4, pp. 349-360, September 2010
The main goal was to capture how decision makers interpret the phrase 'substantial grounds' for denying bail stated in the Bail Act 1976. It was found that magistrates who remanded the defendant into custody, judged the mean risks of the defendant absconding, offending on bail, and obstructing justice to be significantly greater than did those who bailed the defendant. Thus, the mean interpretation of 'substantial grounds' across magistrates was from 46% to 51% (on a 0% to 100% scale). However, there was great variability across magistrates. We discuss the implications of the present findings for encouraging consistent, transparent and justifiable interpretations of bail law.

Payroll Taxes, Mythology, and Fairness
Linda Sugin
Fordham University School of Law
March 26, 2014
Harvard Journal on Legislation, Vol. 51, 2014
Fordham Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2416471
As the 2012 fiscal cliff approached, Congress and President Obama bickered over the top marginal income tax rate that would apply to a tiny sliver of the population, while allowing payroll taxes to quietly rise for all working Americans. Though most Americans pay more payroll tax than income tax, academic and public debates rarely mention it. The combined effect of the payroll tax and the income tax produce dramatically heavier tax liabilities on labor compared to capital, producing substantial horizontal and vertical inequity in the tax system. This article argues that a fair tax system demands just overall burdens, and that the current combination of income taxes and payroll taxes imposes too heavy a relative burden on wage earners. It scrutinizes the payroll tax to debunk myths that artificially link payroll taxes to retirement security, and argues that these myths have lulled workers into accepting substantial and regressive tax burdens. Freed from the analytical limitations of an insurance label and a private-savings paradigm, policymakers can be better guided by fundamental principles of fairness. By refuting justifications for taxing capital income more lightly than labor income, and offering fairness arguments for taxing work less than investment, the article makes a case for equalizing the tax burdens on labor and capital income. Social Security's outlays constitute one-fifth of total federal spending, and this article maintains that it should be financed by a fair tax.

With Grace and Quiet Resolve, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg Nurtures the Memory of Her Parents and the Beloved Brother She Lost Nearly a Year Ago
The event marked one of Caroline's first public appearances since the death last July 16 of John, 38, his wife, Carolyn Bessette, 33, and her sister Lauren Bessette, 34, in the crash of the Piper Saratoga that John was piloting off the coast of Martha's Vineyard. The appearance also suggested how the sole surviving member of Camelot's First Family intends to honor her beloved brother. "She said she was here to support what John wanted," says Washington. "She said she wanted to continue what John cared about." In her quiet, dignified way, Caroline, 42, was serving notice that she intends to do for her brother what she has long done for her father and mother: preserve, protect and promote his memory. "The Kennedy legend is her franchise," says presidential scholar Stephen Hess. "It's her legacy."
If that inheritance weighs heavily on Caroline, the most reserved and least media-friendly member of her glamorous family she is not letting it show. "She's doing great," maintains Edwin Schlossberg, 54, her husband of almost 14 years. With characteristic grace and determination, Caroline continues to juggle her self-imposed public duties with the private role that has always come first: that of mother to Rose, 11, Tatiana, 10, and John, 7. "She seems to be very together and very much in control of herself," says bandleader Peter Duchin, a friend of both Jackie's and Caroline's. "She is a very well-balanced and psychologically secure woman." Adds an old Harvard pal, who, like many of her friends, asks not to be identified for fear of being cut off by the ferociously private Caroline: "She's doing a hell of a lot better than anyone could expect."
At the May 8 gala heralding the opening of the American Ballet Theatre season at New York City's Metropolitan Opera House, an event she began chairing in her mother's place the year after Jackie's death in 1994, Caroline cut an elegant figure in her Carolina Herrera sequined top and silk crepe skirt. She appeared relaxed and happy as she shared a front-row balcony box with Tipper Gore. At the sit-down dinner party that followed, she turned to her mother's friend Aileen Mehle (a.k.a. Suzy to readers of her society column) and jokingly asked, "Next to mine, which is the most beautiful dress in the room?"
Caroline will again venture into public May 22, traveling to Boston to present the John F. Kennedy Library's Profile in Courage Award. This year the award, which Caroline cofounded in 1989 with her mother and brother in honor of her father, will be a bittersweet affair, marked by two firsts. The winner, California State Sen. Hilda Solis, honored for strengthening environmental protections for minority communities, is the first woman to receive the award. ("I know Caroline had a whole lot to do with that," says Elaine Jones, who has served on the award committee.) It is also the first time Caroline will host the event without John. "For her to give the award by herself makes her worthy of a Profile in Courage Award," says John Perry Barlow, a longtime friend of John's.
Though Caroline's continuing grief is evident to close friends, they say it is so intensely personal that most never even mention John's name. "Caroline has just been trying to make it through this first year," says a family intimate. On the anniversary of John's death, there will be neither a huge Kennedy gathering ("too many haunting memories," says a friend) nor a public tribute. "Caroline is carrying a great emotional burden that needs time to heal," says an acquaintance. "She's still in mourning, but she has to be there for her children and carry them through this."
One totem of their anguish hangs in family patriarch Ted Kennedy's private Senate office. On a piece of lined school paper, Caroline's youngest, who was John Jr.'s nephew and godson, wrote, "Dear Uncle Teddy, Will you be my godfather now? Love, Jack." It hangs next to a note that JFK penned as a prep school student: "Dear Mom and Dad, It is the night before exams so I will write more later. Love, Jack. P.S. Can I be godfather to the baby [Teddy]?" The answer was yes.
While Caroline finds consolation in her faith, her relatives and her public duties, what keeps her grounded is the life that she and Schlossberg, an author and interactive media designer, share with their children. "The major focus of her life is her kids," says a friend. In their comfortable Park Avenue apartment ("Nice stuff, but nothing you'd find in Architectural Digest," one observer offers), Caroline tends to her children's colds, homework and meals, often cooking dinner, despite live-in help. For special occasions, Joseph Spadaro, who usually cuts Caroline's and her daughters' hair at a Madison Avenue salon, has come to the apartment to do Caroline's hair. "It's a house with children playing," he says. "It's not, 'You wait in the drawing room, darling.' When we're finished, they come running and say, 'Mommy, you look pretty.' "
Many days, clad in jeans and wearing no makeup, Caroline walks her daughters to the same private all-girls school that Caroline herself attended. "She's there a lot, with the dog, picking up the children," says an acquaintance. As a school trustee, Caroline helps guide school policy and writes articles for a quarterly parent publication. Her husband, a hands-on dad, helped design the school's computer lab. "They come to parent-teacher nights, they come to assemblies when the kids are performing," says the acquaintance. "The kids have been brought up in a solid, not a frivolous, way."
Since John's death, the family has taken several trips. "They go away from the crowds, where nobody knows them, and it's quiet," says a friend. In September, Civil War expert Shelby Foote gave the Schlossbergs and the families of Ted Kennedy and Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend a private tour of the Antietam battlefield near Sharpsburg, Md. At Thanksgiving, Caroline and her girls visited the horse country of Middleburg, Va., where a very young Caroline was first introduced to riding by her mother. "It's quite wonderful that she carries on this tradition," says Eve Fout, a longtime riding friend of Jackie's. Caroline also retreats frequently to the Schlossbergs' two-story, wood-shingled weekend house in Sagaponack, N.Y., on Long Island. "She comes to church on a regular basis and brings her children," says Father Patrick Callan of the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Church in nearby Bridgehampton. "She has a real sense of faith that carries her through."
The house, which sits behind a tall row of hedges, also offers distance from the tabloid press, which has filled the vacuum created by her silence with unsubstantiated rumors. One such rumor maintains that Caroline intends to sell her mother's Martha's Vineyard estate, a notion that at least one island neighbor dismisses as "100 percent not true." Rumors also persist that John's marriage to Carolyn Bessette was tempestuous. Yet other sources assert that the relationship between the sisters-in-law was strained as well. "Caroline and Carolyn had a falling out over Carolyn's lifestyle and over the people she consorted with," says Jackie biographer Edward Klein. "John and his sister had a chill because he was defending his wife." John Davis, a cousin on Jackie's Bouvier side, affirms that Carolyn "was not close to Caroline," but in sists that John and Caroline "remained very close."
Beyond her nuclear family, Caroline leans most steadily on her Uncle Ted. At a November fund-raiser for the senator, Caroline said in her introductory remarks, "Without Teddy, I don't think I could have gotten through the past few months." There are also indications that Caroline, after decades of following her mother's lead and keeping a distance from the more raucous Kennedy cousins, may be renewing family ties. In a rare interview for a recent 60 Minutes II segment about Ted, Caroline said that since John's death, she has gained an appreciation "for how lucky I am to be in our family."
Her work also provides solace, connecting her to those she has lost. Though she doesn't speak directly about carrying on the family's tradition, a Profile in Courage Award staffer notes, "she says so by what she does." As president of the JFK Library Foundation board, Caroline steadfastly "represents her father," serving as the "compass for his library," says Paul Kirk, the board's chairman. For a library exhibit of Jackie's overseas travels that opens May 27, Caroline selected and donated paintings from her mother's estate. The effort, says a confidante, "has been emotional and at the same time satisfying." Other tasks have been more onerous. "Last year, Caroline dismantled John's apartment and had to deal with his personal effects," says a family intimate. "All of this was just so painful." Last October she sold her brother's 50 percent stake in George magazine to Hachette Filipacchi, the magazine's publisher.
But despite her vigilant oversight of Camelot memories, Caroline seems more interested in shielding her children from her sad inheritance than sharing it. "She runs the show with a confident toughness," says an acquaintance. "You get the feeling that she doesn't want to pass this 'legacy' on to her children." If anything, some say, she errs in the other direction. "Remember when her daughter stuck her tongue at the photographers?" asks biographer Klein, recalling young Rose's high jinks at John's memorial service. "That obviously has to come from absorbing her parents' attitude towards media intrusion into their private life."
Caroline's passionate defense of her privacy is more than a pose. It is a mission—and may well prove to be her own legacy. Both bestselling books that she coauthored with law school pal Ellen Alderman—1991's In Our Defense: The Bill of Rights in Action and 1995's The Right to Privacy—explore the nature of privacy. According to their literary agent Esther Newberg, the pair has no new book projects in the works. But they did recently post a lengthy piece titled "Expectations of Privacy" on the Mighty Words Web site. "If we do not protect our privacy it will be taken from us," they wrote. "And if we accept intrusion, we will be conditioned to expect less privacy than we deserve in a free society."
That unflinching attitude can prove scorching. A few friends who reminisced fondly but publicly about John after his death quickly found themselves persona non grata. "Caroline won't talk to me, and I adored her," says an old Kennedy staffer. Adds Klein: "She's very much a Kennedy: Don't get mad, get even. What other credo can she live by, given the way the media treats the Kennedys?" Some observers find such intransigence insupportable. "As an activist and a woman who wrote about the First Amendment, she can't just shut the door and disappear," says Helen Thomas, until recently UPI's White House correspondent. "You can't have it both ways."
Those who know Caroline aren't so sure. They anticipate that she will continue to bear the family torch while pursuing her own passions, living each day—on her own terms—to the fullest. "Everybody gives her a lot of credit, but nobody worries about Caroline," says Massachusetts State Rep. James Vallee, who roomed with her cousin, Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy, in college. "She is like a rock." Joseph Gargan, who is Caroline's first cousin once removed, agrees. "She knows that John would want her to be strong and move on with her life," he says. "That's always been a Kennedy family message: to pick up and carry on."

Sandwiches from Top Chef's Tom Colicchio: Meatloaf and moreTom Colicchio
'wichcraft: craft a sandwich into a meal – and a meal into a sandwich
I've done the math, and as it turns out, about 58 percent of the meals I've eaten in the course of my life have been sandwiches. Breakfast en route to work? Often a sandwich. Lunch without a lunch break? Invariably, a sandwich. And here's a typical dinner, if you happen to be a cook in a restaurant: It's 11p.m., you had your last snack at about 5p.m., you've been plating beautiful meals all evening (and no, you're not jaded about them: they smell and look great), and you're hungry. You grab two slices of bread, nab the odds-and-ends of the short ribs that were too uneven to be served to patrons, add a slice of cheese, round it out with a swipe of onion relish, and, standing up, enjoy your meal. It's your on-the-fly, catch-as-catch-can, portable meal – a sandwich version of the same entr'es your patrons have enjoyed all evening. Such sandwiches not only fed me, they also gave me food for thought.
While working over the years as one of my sous-chefs, Sisha Ortúzar has become a trusted emissary, someone who understands my way of doing things so well that I bring him with me to open restaurants in other cities. Turns out Sisha had given the humble sandwich a lot of thought himself. We talked about it, and I could see his ideas dovetailed with my own: namely, that a sandwich should be a portable meal sourced and crafted with the same intention and excitement as we brought to the food in our restaurants.
Here are 3 recipes that turn the humble sandwich from standard to outstanding.
Gruyère with Caramelized Onions
This is one of Tom's favorites, one that showcases how a sandwich can be adapted from a meal. The meal here is French onion soup. Whereas in the soup the onion is the star, with the crouton and cheese to support it, in the sandwich we flip that: the onions serve as the relish. We end up with something rustic and homey, and yet something that, unlike soup, can be enjoyed while walking down the street.
Meatloaf with Cheddar, Bacon, and Tomato Relish
While we provide a meatloaf recipe here, we know how particular people are about their meatloaf recipes, so feel free to use your own. The meatloaf is gently heated, absorbing all the flavor and moisture of the sauce. Now just layer on some aged Cheddar, bacon, if you like, and the tomato relish, and you have a hearty-sandwich – the ultimate comfort food.
Chocolate Cream'wich
Two surprises set this cookie apart: The first is that the filling is made with a chocolate ganache as opposed to just a frosting. The cream and the chocolate melt together perfectly, yielding a satisfyingly smooth texture to the filling itself. In contrast to the creaminess is the second surprise: the cocoa nibs, little pieces of roasted cacao beans. These bits add a crunchy texture that is wholly and delightfully unexpected.

Memento Mori: Looking at the Face
It has always seemed the strangest thing to me, the way that people will lacerate others -- with cruelty, with lies, with dirty dealing, with petty spite, with cold neglect, with violence, violence on the body and the soul -- just to gain, for just a moment, some bestial sense of dominance, on one level or another, from the highest to the lowest, turning the inexpressible miracle of existence, this paradise of consciousness and sensation we've been given, into a stinking, churned-up living hell.
I look at all this, and I think: These people don't know they're going to die. They don't believe the blow will come. They think they've got all the time in the world to churn in the filth and make themselves "important" -- an importance that will be ripped out of them like a disemboweled gut the instant death closes their eyes ....
I keep looking at the face
That keeps staring back at me
The hard and haunted visage
Of my mortality

Skip to comments.VIDEO: 'Occupy Atlanta' in strange group chant, silences Civil Rights Hero John Lewis
Posted on 10/08/2011 4:06:40 PM PDT by garjog
Watch this video of strange group behavior. Effects of drug use? Mob rule psychology? Really strange people in control.
Our country is being taken over.
It's "mic check" - I have seen individuals do that at all their GA (General Assembly) events - it's done to get the group leader's attention ... it threw me the first few times I saw it too, but, if you've ever 'done' (set up for use) an event with a PA system then you realize the utility of using those words when doing stage setup and testing the mics with the board operator setting levels on the PA mixer ...
Hear it, say it, act it, smell it.....all they are missing is the writing it. The best way to remember anything is to involve all the senses.
I think they're saying "Mic Check."
I think he said ' damn them ppl be crazy thanks for figuring out a way for me to walk away safely.'
Anyone know where in Atlanta this took place? That's got to be somewhere near downtown, but I can't place it. I see the Little 5-Points crowd is there.
Thanks for the link. I was trying to figure out the venue. I don't recall Woodruff Park being that big or having any trees.
Woodruff Park maybe?
Occupy Atlanta settles into Woodruff Park
Conformation from:
Congressman John Lewis came out to Occupy Atlanta on Friday, October 7th in Woodruff Park. He even commented on the Atlanta General Assemblys group consensus process saying this is not something strange or out of the ordinary for me, and he was not at all disappointed he wasnt able to adress the Assembly.
With a facilitator, the Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, sounds exactly like that. The facilitator says a phrase and the others it while tapping on one of a number of special points on the head and upper body. The purpose of EFT is to exorcize negative emotions, and it actually seems to have that effect for many people. This EFT video exemplifies that rhythm.
I would be interested to know what the non-tapping, mind control technique is called and where it originated.
Why would they need to employ this method when the speaker was already using a megaphone?
Here's a video of what happened after John Lewis left. Honestly, I wasn't able to watch the whole thing. I still haven't completely recovered from what I saw yesterday.
because somebody thought it would be "cool"
Not surprising. Their blind faith in socialism lets them excuse it every time by saying "the wrong people got in charge; we just have to put the right people in power and everything will work!"
These must be some of the idiots that enjoyed inflated national test scores in the Atlanta Public School System when they cheated the last couple of years. I've not seen such idiocy in quite a while.
Liberal Lemmings...
Video of John Lewis as he was leaving.
Why would they need to employ this method when the speaker was already using a megaphone?Notice, not everyone has access to 'a mic' (esp. those in the audience, the bulk of the group) ... these appear designed to be a highly-participatory events, actually meant to create 'consensus', to get everyone on board.
Having watched several of their General Assemblies and observed how they handle various issues, it all becomes clear ...
Atlantan: Video of John Lewis as he was leaving.
_Jim: There is a followup video posted of the GA (general Assembly) group's activity with some comments by ppl on the video now too:
Woman Responds to Occupy Atlanta Silencing John Lewis.
I was trying to figure out where I had heard exactly that speaking rhythm before, with the audience echoing every phrase of the speaker. I finally figured it out.Interesting observation ... blends in with other 'mediation' techniques of note ...
With a facilitator, the Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT,
Things are really falling apart on Wall Street.
They have to pay attention to what is said and if they disagree a bit, it doesn't matter since their brain is making them say it. If they say it, they will believe it.
Great Taste...
Less Filling!
Hey, you're doing it wrong!
If you come across it, ping me, and I'll do the same for you if I find it first.
... a 1960s-style free love has begun to blossom. More than 400 participants spent the night Friday huddling and cuddling in Zuccotti Park.Imagine that!
None of which sits well with the movements leaders, who set up an internal police group to stop the boozing, pot smoking and hanky-panky.
We want to make sure everyone is here for the right reason, said Ricky Torres, 23, who is part of the security unit. Some are homeless and people who are not really up to any good.
Torres said leaders are trying to curb the wild side of the movement.
Scratch my previous post, I'm looking at the video you posted now.
I've got a hand signal for those morons . . .
I've got a hand signal for those morons . . .
Hey, YOU weren't supposed to say it twice. It was MY turn to repeat.
Gotta follow the mob rules!
LOL..what a bunch of loons!
Take a close look at this. Based on some of the other posts in the thread, this technique is being used at other venues. It appears to be some sort of groupthink crowd control method. There's nothing like controlling a mob of zombies.
On a different but related topic, I'd love to know more about the guy in the red shirt controlling the mic.
Yep, there is some already-mature cult presence at that venue. I'll keep my eyes open for it elsewhere.
Check out a few minutes of this rally, and the mind control chant-and-repeat used. Pretty scary stuff. I wonder if some local cult showed up and owned the microphone, or if this brainwashing technique exists elsewhere in their "movement."
Oh they have one. They are sharing it.
If we let them! That's a very BIG IF..........
"Some are homeless and people who are not really up to any good.
So the movement has been infiltrated by bums and dopeheads. LOL! I love commies making fools of themselves.
In cruising YT came across this one (bloke has a 'mean and greedy' issue):
EFT - Rich People Are Mean and Greedy
I think.
that this
is a
kindergarten class
occupied by
people who
are too old
to be
in kindergarten
I saw excerpts from the Occupy demonstrations on FOX News this morning while Liz Trotta was doing a commentary on them. Sure enough, the same chanting and hand waving, although I couldn't tell if it was repeat-after-me chanting like in Atlanta, or even whether it was the Atlanta group. It looked like a different time of day, however.
File this one under the heading:
"Union Chants Gone Wrong" - How to train the un-enchanted, Bringing Union Zombies to Life:
I don't think this is something to laugh at, it scared the hell out of me.
It must also have been a blow to realize that this generation doesn't know who he is, or doesn't care anymore.
His Civil Rights Movement is being swept aside by an Occupier Rights Movement.
Isn't he the one that got caught lying that a Tea Party patriot spit on him? Now no-one(even his own left wing base) doesn't want to listen to him...LOL!!
Last night when this was first posted in another thread, there were only 300 views on YOUTUBE...it is now up to 59,723...lol. It's going viral in a big way. This can't be good for Obama and the democrats..rotflol!!
With this guide, a dozen infiltrators in each city could convert these Flea Parties into Tea Parties.
'Old Marxist" chant at Occupy Atlanta with captions.
Occupy Atlanta: Demands and Strategy
Wow! No kidding! Did catch the last couple of lines of that 'vow' or chant?
"I will say one more thing as a Marxist student of history
that I am saying here is not out of my own head
it is out of the history of the revolutionary movement international."
Indeed. Seems to be the playbook they follow when doing assemblies and deciding on issues and referring further deliberation on an issue to another working group ...
Good find BTW.
...and remember Jim Jones was a radical SF communist.
Despite their weird rules of engagement, it seems to me that the Flea Party has more in common with the Tea Party than with the Obama/Wall Street/Demopublican/Congressional complex. Unfortunately they still see big government — if only they could control it — as the solution.

To determine if adolescent mothers who request early removal of levonorgestrel implants differ from those who do not in ways that might predispose them to repeated conceptions and in their concerns about adverse effects. We hypothesized that adolescent mothers who request removal of levonorgestrel implants within 2 years of insertion have more risk factors for repeated pregnancy than those who do not.
We studied the prevalence of 21 characteristics associated with repeated adolescent pregnancy and 16 adverse effects of levonorgestrel implants in 181 postpartum, adolescent levonorgestrel implant recipients, 66 (36%) of whom had the levonorgestrel implants removed within 20 months of insertion (hereafter, removers).
Removers (n = 66) had significantly more risk factors for repeated pregnancy and reported significantly more adverse effects than did those who continued to use levonorgestrel implants (hereafter, users) (n = 115). Concerns about adverse effects rose in tandem with risk factors for repeated pregnancy (r= 0.26; P = .001) and were the most important determinant of levonorgestrel implant removal (relative risk, 9.72; 95% confidence interval, 4.62-19.49). However, the number of risk factors for repeated pregnancy was also a significant, independent predictor of levonorgestrel implant removal (relative risk, 2.34; 95% confidence interval, 1.10-4.66). Following removal, contraceptive use was poor and conception occurred rapidly; 24 (37%) of the removers conceived again within 2 years of the index delivery.
The study hypothesis was supported. Our findings that concerns about the adverse effects of levonorgestrel implants rise in tandem with risk factors for repeated pregnancy suggest that the efficacy of counseling before and after levonorgestrel implant insertion could be improved by addressing those aspects of the user's life that undermine the motivation to use contraception.

I Wonder if the Duggars Have Seen "Kid Farm" Yet…Carolyn Castiglia
The Duggar family, stars of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting, are an American institution. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar believe that "Children are a blessing from the Lord," and Michelle has said that she's willing to have another child should she get pregnant again, despite that fact that her youngest daughter, Josie, spent her first six months in the hospital struggling to survive. Why? Because the Duggars are part of the Quiverfull movement of people whose aim it is to raise large, Christian families.
It's easy to wonder how the Duggars keep all of their children's names straight (I mean, Johanna and Joy-Anna? Really?), or if the Duggar children get any individual attention from their parents. There are so many Duggar-isms ripe for parody, thank God someone has finally gone and satirized them. Atom.com, Comedy Central's home for original web video, is hosting new episodes of Kid Farm, starring comedians Pete Holmes, Katina Corrao, Matt McCarthy and 17 kids, "give or take." Kid Farm is: 1) created by Oren Brimer, Pete Holmes and Jamie Lee, 2) brought to you by Front Page Films, 3) hilarious. Enjoy:

FOLEY, Alabama -- South Baldwin Regional Medical Center has signed a contract with ApolloMD, a national Emergency Department Physician Practice based in Atlanta, that provides outsourcing to more than 60 large-volume hospitals, teaching facilities and top-tier health systems throughout the county.
ApolloMD is the fourth largest and fastest growing company in its industry, SBRMC officials said.
The hospital previously had contracted with a group of local doctors, Baldwin Emergency Physicians, since 2008.
"This collaboration with ApolloMD will bring in higher levels of clinical care and speed up patient flow. It will also offer a more rigorous process for consistency and offer more information for our nurses, physicians and support staff," said Margaret Roley, SBRMC chief nursing officer.
"South Baldwin Regional Medical Center is committed to make emergency room operations more efficient and improve patient care. Sometimes that takes collaboration with nationwide groups in order to bring in new ideas and better practices also providing us with an opportunity to tap into a nationwide company's expertise," Roley said.
Most of the local physicians and specialists who currently work in the ER have signed contracts with ApolloMD and will continue providing care there.
"The ER staff has embraced the change," said Annette Nelson, director of the hospital's emergency department.
"I think the number of physicians wanting to stay shows the level of excitement," Nelson said. "It's going to be a good thing for everyone."
But there is also a need for more staffing in the ER. As part of the contract, ApolloMD has hired six full-time physicians to work in the ER beginning July 1.

Did you know Israelis also invented some really cool games? There are countless Israel-invented games, but only three of them are cool enough to me mentioned and recommended. Enjoy!
This is my favorite Israeli game, and favorite card game in general. It is a very common game here, and I believe almost every family in Israel owns at least one pack of Taki. It is a recommended game for a quality family time, and also during a friends' hangout. It has some similarities to other card games, but also very unique rules. The best thing about Taki is that you can play it for hours and without getting bored. There is a shop in your neighborhood with this game in store- I highly recommend you to purchase and enjoy. Check the rules here.
A tile-based game for two to four players. The goal, to be the first player to place all the tiles from your rack onto the table, sounds very simple. However this is actually quite a challenging game, which gets more and more of an intellectual challenge the better you and your opponent get. I tried to summarize the rules for you, but it would be much easier if you go here.
At the beach and looking for an exercise better than tanning? Matkot is a popular paddle ball game, which is considered Israel's national sport. It is similar to beach tennis, but much simpler. It is a non-competitive game, meant for two players, where your only goal is to keep the small rubber ball in the air as long as you can. How you do that? Simply pass the ball to each other with your wooden racket. It may sound like an easy game, but you'll be surprised to see how hard it is to keep the ball in the air more than two minutes straight.

The doc directory is though - that's what I was referring to. I do
use grep on the library and programs trees too (since documents don't
cover some stuff - iirc, the list of builtin resources isn't _that_
well-documented). The O'Reilly books are of course very good for the
graphics, and additional comments. But more than once I've found that
I can't find some information that I _know_ I've read in the books.

Ash To Ash
The shards of life piece together to make us incomplete,
Without rules we are lost in a maze of despair,
Trapped amongst the branches that hold us up,
But what do we do with all the evil clowns at the town fair.
The glass shatters behind closed doors as the skeletons are released,
Intoxicating the truth with a greater story than the one that has been told,
Correcting the little tests we take as the mistakes are never ignored,
And now these souls are being lost and sold.
Ash to ash, dust to dust, dancing in the shadows that save us,
These shadows call ...

Agentes secretos y el mural de Picassoby David Bennett Mira Canion
Pablo Picasso's mural Guernica is on display at the 1937 International Exposition. Both sides of the Spanish Civil War quickly realize that the painting contains clues to the whereabouts of the supernatural Spear of Destiny. Its occult power can change the outcome of the Civil War, just as it has done in other battles throughout history. As Paula's imagination begins to decipher the hidden symbols, Francisco Franco's secret agents are not far behind her. They are ready to capture the Spear at the most opportune moment, convinced that impulsive Paula will betray her quest for the Spear. Belonging to the genre of language learner literature, this is an easy Spanish reader containing just 100 new vocabulary words and many English-Spanish cognates.

A low-speed chase that started in Ocean County on the Garden State Parkway and continued on the northbound New Jersey Turnpike by Newark ended after police found the suspect on foot carrying his license plates, State Police said.
The chase began at 11:17 p.m. on the Parkway in Berkeley Township, when troopers wanted to stop a black Acura for failing to maintain its lane, Sgt. Robert Burke of the State Police said. The car has no license plates.
The driver, David Raoul of Brooklyn, ignored sirens and drove north on the Parkway as police followed the car, which never exceed 64 m.p.h., police said. Raoul, 24, entered the Turnpike from the Parkway at Exit 129.
Police decided to terminate the pursuit around Exit 14A on the Turnpike a little longer than an hour later, Burke said. At an unspecified time later, police found Raoul on a road holding two license plates in his hands, Sgt. Laurance Brook, of the State Police, said.
Police asked Raoul if he was the person that was chased by police, and Raoul said he was, Brook said. Raoul was arrested and is in the Ocean County Jail on $15,000 bail.
It is not immediately known why police stopped the pursuit or why Raoul evaded police.

Duchess of Brittany, afterwards Carmelite nun, b. 1427; d. at Nantes, 4 Nov., 1485. The daughter of Louis d'Amboise, Viscount de Thouars, she was betrothed when only four years old, to Peter, second son of John V, Duke of Brittany, the marriage being solemnized when she had reached the age of fifteen. The union was, however, not very happy owing to the morose disposition of the husband who occasionally ill-treated his wife; but her gentleness gradually changed his heart, he assisted her in her works of charity and did penance for his former dissolute life. After his succession to the dukedom in 1450 her wholesome influence made itself felt in wider circles; she also intervened, not always succeessfully, in the never-ending family feuds. The duke died, leaving no legitimate heir, in 1457 after having borne testimony in his last will to the devotedness of his wife. The latter consecrated her life to God, but for several years she was unable to consummate the sacrifice by entering a convent. While being educated by her future mother-in-law she had early distinguished herself by almsdeeds and fervent devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. During her married life she devoted a large portion of her fortune to the foundation of a convent of Poor Clares at Nantes, which she would have joined had her strength allowed it; she also took part in the preliminaries of the canonization of St. Vincent Ferrer, became a benefactress of the Dominican convent at Nantes, and made the acquaintance of Blessed John Soreth, General of the Carmelites, who in 1452 had established the first community of Carmelite nuns. Some of these, coming from Liège, were received by Frances at Vannes (31 Oct., 1463) where they were entertained at the castle until the convent called "The Three Maries" was habitable. Having provided their dowries she entered the novitiate (25 March, 1468), making her profession the following year. After some time spent as infirmarian she was elected prioress for life (1473), and became by her splendid example the model of a true Carmelite nun, and, in a sense, the foundress of this branch of the order. The convent proving too small she obtained not without litigation, a larger one at Nantes. She died in a holy ecstasy, and miracles were wrought at her tomb. During the Huguenot wars and the French revolution her body had to be saved twice from profanation. Pius IX beatified her 16 July, 1863.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Market Power, Efficiency and Performance of Indonesian Banks
Fadilla Dwi Ardianty

Viverita D.
Department of Management Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas Indonesia
This study aims to examine the existence of the two common hypothesis in banking industry, i.e: the Structure Conduct Performance (SCP) Hypothesis and the Efficient Structure (EFS) Hypothesis by analyzing the impact of market power and efficiency on performance of public banks in Indonesia for the period of 2003-2009. The estimation of efficiency is obtained by using two difference approaches: a parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Findings of the study support the Structure Conduct Performance hypothesis, where market power is the most significant factor that influences banking performance. Furthermore, the results also support a quiet life hypothesis where the banks enjoy the advantages of market power in terms of foregone revenues or cost savings.
