Now that's a high-tech 22 mag!
Actually I like it, just wish it had a bit more umph.
February 15, 2006, 10:21 PM
They have been on the market for a little over a month I guess? The CMMG guys had one for sale at the 12/31 gun show in KC for about $1700. I should have bought it and thrown on Gunbroker. Saw one go the other day for over $2600. I saw another one come in on order at my local gun shop. Many other people are on "lists" all over the internet to get one.
I have thought about one, but think I may wait until the hype slows down and fiocchi starts manufacturing the 5.7 ammo, as it is running anywhere from $25-$30 for a 50 round box right now. With the 50 round magazines you can get for the PS90, that could make shooting VERY expensive, VERY quickly!
In the meantime, I have another FN, the FS2000, http://www.impactguns.com/store/FN-FS2000.html on order. It fires the 5.56 and accepts standard AR type mags.
February 15, 2006, 10:22 PM
What are these going for? Before they came out a local dealer told me he expected them to sell for $1300-1400 but after they came out I've heard reports of them going for as much as $2500.
So what are people paying for these?
February 15, 2006, 10:31 PM
I really wish I could justify that much dough on a plinker, but I can't. It isn't much use for defensive purposes, esp with ammunition available to us. SO basically it is for making noise and maybe pest control, and a $160 10/22 can do just as well.
I might have to invest in the FS2000 but even then, I am not on the market for a poodle shooter either.
It sucks cause I admire their attempts to reach the civilian market and want to support them in this effort. I actually wish they would make a left hand version of their precision bolt rifles. That is something I could justify spending money on.
February 16, 2006, 12:48 AM
My main issue with them is that about 99% of the parts in the thing is plastic. I'm not saying its a bad thing to everyone, but to me it is. Just about everything on these boys is plastic except the springs....
just my $0.02... if you want an interested 5.7 x 28 alternative checkout Rhinelan d Arms 5.7 AR-15 Upper.
February 16, 2006, 06:01 AM
FN PS90 SBR selling at $2000 at Impact Arms , but it's out of stock.
February 16, 2006, 11:22 AM
I was drooling for one for over a year, when I found out they would finally make a semi auto version. But as time passed, I saw the cost of the ammo and started to loose interest. I held one last month at the Houston gun show. It is kewl, but not worth the cost, IMHO. Plus, it really didn't look that high quality up close. The gun I held had terrible weld marks all over the metal rail that holds the scope/view finder.
February 16, 2006, 12:12 PM
I've got some on order right now. They are backlogged quite a bit. Retail is around in the $1,400-$1,500 range. The 2,500 ones are people getting what they can while the supply is lower than the demand.
I've also ordered a Rhineland upper to check out.
February 16, 2006, 12:21 PM
let us know when you get C. been thinking about getting one myself. - the ps90 that is.
Oleg Volk
February 16, 2006, 12:59 PM
Correia, please bring that Rhineland upper to TN for me to photograph.
February 16, 2006, 03:24 PM
Civillian, right now all of the ones I've got ordered, I've already got presold since there is such a backlog. If you want us to order one for you call 801-571-1160.
Oleg, a trip down south is going to require me to first tame the chaos that is my life. :) BTW, when do we get to see the pictures you took with our little friend?
February 16, 2006, 03:26 PM
I am guessing about 50 bucks.
February 16, 2006, 03:37 PM
Doesn't really matter. Glocks cost $80 to make. But sell for $500+ bucks.
A product is worth whatever they can sell it for. The price is determined by whatever maximizes their profits. Too much, they don't sell enough units. Too little, they don't make as much by gun. That is just business and good old Econ 101.

Did you hear, the SG team switched to HK products, like the MP7?
Cost justification on the PS90 is the big issue, though. I'd hate to take a $1700 beating, both in the wallet and from the wifey.

haye didn't go to the body because that's not his style. in the intro before the fight mike tyson explained this very well. what haye tried to do was go in,throw a punch,go out. obviously wlad shrugged this off very easily by sidestepping, or using his clinch strength to stop haye.

klitschko expected the lunge-athons

klitschko is a student of the game- he knew gayvid's style inside and out
so how do you beat the chess master?
you confuse the hell out of him
ali-foreman 74
first round, throws straight rights all round long- most confusing tactic ever seen
worked wonders
david should have jabbed at klitschko and held a high guard for the 1st 3 rounds

Teaching & Learning
Explore resources for teaching, learning and professional development related to the ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education.
Teaching & Learning | Professional Development
Information literacy requires a re-thinking of basic curriculum issues. It will mean giving up or re-organizing things we do now in order to make information literacy a campus-wide mission.
Reform of undergraduate education has included discussion of inquiry-based learning, research-based learning, problem-based learning, evidence-based learning, service learning, or undergraduate research on campus. As Patricia Breivik notes, "they all rest on the foundation of resource-based learning, which is the basis for student achievement of information literacy." (Breivik, P.S. Student Learning in the Information Age (Phoenix, AZ: American Council on Education and Oryx Press, 1998), p.25.
Even a cursory review of the Information Literacy Competency Standards will show that there is much more to information literacy competence than library-related research. Students must demonstrate competencies in formulating research questions and in their ability to use information as well as an understanding of ethical and legal issues surrounding information. In fact, it may be difficult to separate information literacy from the goals of a good undergraduate education.

Interesting article. Thanks.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus is the one it says they used. They add that that's like some bacteria commonly found in probiotics. I have had at least one that specifically mentioned it—can't remember which—but I think bifidus and lactobacilli are more commonly found in probiotics. Bio-kult, which seems to have some connection with GAPS, has it:

From the article:
It would be interesting to turn that the other way round, wouldn't it?So far, most of the work has focused on how pathogenic bugs influence the brain by releasing toxins or stimulating the immune system, Cryan says. One recent study suggested that even benign bacteria can alter the brain and behavior, but until now there has been very little work in this area, Cryan says.
I mean, I wonder if they taught someone to meditate—to calm themselves that way—whether their gut bacteria would change. Maybe that would be a way to assist the right ones and keep the less desirable ones under control.

COLUMBIA -- He has heard it all.
"People remember my name. I never have to say it twice," said South Carolina baseball player Joey Pankake.
He is a starting shortstop with a last name pronounced like a syrupy short stack.
"I guess the most common thing is people calling me 'Waffle,' " said Pankake.
The student newspaper staff at the Daily Gamecock is trying on Twitter and elsewhere to attach a fresh nickname to the freshman from Easley -- IHOP.
"Ummm … Well, that sounds fine," said Joe Pankake, Joey's father and a Goose Creek High School graduate. "That or Pancake House."
These are big cleats to fill for the 6-foot, 195-pounder. The Gamecocks' shortstop lineage under head coach Ray Tanner includes longtime big leaguers Adam Everett and Brian Roberts, former Bishop England High School elite draft picks Drew Meyer and Reese Havens, and the starters on South Carolina's back-to-back national championship teams, Bobby Haney in 2010 and Peter Mooney in 2011.
"I knew it would be a bunch of hard work, definitely," Pankake said. "It's so challenging. I didn't come in expecting to have the kind of season I had in high school."
College Baseball 101 was a three-game sweep of VMI last weekend in which Pankake went 2 for 9 before sellout crowds of 8,000-plus at Carolina Stadium.
"It was unreal," Pankake said of opening day. "I've never played in front of that many people. It was a great atmosphere. The fans here were great."
97-mph fastball
Already, Gamecock Nation loves Pankake, whether his official nickname has gone International or not.
"Joey is very comfortable," Joe Pankake said. "Part of that is because he has already played with some of these guys on his Diamond Devils (summer travel) team. He just loves what he's doing."
It's no secret that -- along with hitting and infield defense -- Pankake has a rocket arm on the mound. It's radar gun stuff found at the front end of major league pitching rotations.
"The fastest I remember his senior year in high school was 95 (mph)," Joe Pankake said.
Maybe a little faster in fall ball at South Carolina, where Pankake was unscored upon in three innings with three strikeouts.
"I heard them say 95," Pankake said. "Once, I heard 97."
Oh, he also throws a cut slider, curve and changeup.
Another Pankake
Future closer?
Very possibly. But Pankake wants to play every day, and that's what he told the pitching-minded Texas Rangers when they selected him in the 42nd round of the 2011 draft.
"Joey has a lot of experience at catcher, too," his father said. "But, of course, he'll do anything Coach Tanner wants him to do."
Joe Pankake saw it coming. He knew the kid was special when he began making good contact with a fat plastic bat at 18 months old.
"I think he slept with a baseball when he was a little kid," Joe Pankake said.
Look out for Joe and Jan Pankake's youngest son, Jordan. A sophomore at Easley High School, he will follow his brother as a top prep prospect.
Of course, Jordan will get the same kind of razzing Joey gets from opposing fans when he comes up to bat.
"But Joey can take it," Joe Pankake said, "and Joey can dish it out, too."

Maximo: Ghosts to Glory
You're Maximo, a good citizen and trusty adventurer. However, your old-time advisor Achille isn't as nice as you've always thought he was. You come home once, finding your kingdom plundered and your girfriend about to be forcefully married with him. You try to stop him but get killed. How's that for the start of a game ?
Of course, that isn't all because otherwise there wouldn't be much to play with, would there ?
Apparantly, the Grim Reaper doesn't like Achille any more than you do because your old trustee seems to use the spirits of the dead for his own goals to increase his power so dear old Father Dead doesn't get any new sould to harvest. Therefor he brings you back to life with the mission to defeat Achille, bringing back the dead to where they belong and your girfriend right next to your side again.
Capcom went back to the old-school type of platform game with Maximo and it seems to work out nicely.
The graphics show a "Nightmare before Christmas"-like environment where ghosts, ghouls, skeletons, lava pits and earthquakes make your life miserable. But since you've been dead already you know that there isn't much fun to have on the other side so you do your best to complete your mission.
Maximo starts off with a nice and shiny armour, sword and shield. The shield can be used to block enemy attacks or to be thrown like some kind of boomerang to kill your opponents. With the sword you can do multiple types of attacks uncluding some very nifty special moves like a 360° attack or a ground bashing slash that creates a shockwave that kills all opponents near you. Very nice if you're outnumbered 🙂
The save-function in Maximo is kinda strange. You have to collect coins by slashing tomb stones (freeing spirits) and if you've got enough, you can save your game at a Magic Pool. The coins can also be swapped for some kind of Death Coin which gives you an extra life.
Every once in a while you get into a Boss Tower where you can save a sorceress. In total there are 4 sorceress that can be rescued and each time you can get something from her : a free savegame, get his armour back up to par, or get a kiss. The kiss seems less interesting, but if you get all 4 kissess, a special reward will be given at the end of the game.
Maximo is a very straight-forward platform game with all the old-school platform standards and it works. Maximo has a nice length before ending the game, the graphics are cute but not cuddly and the sound is appropriate for this type of game.
The only minor downpoint is the camera. You can't center the camera viewpoint on your character while you're running so if you don't like the view, you'll have to stop and that's not too great if you're running away from a bunch of ghouls.
All in all, Capcom delivers a great game that although it's got every cliché in the platform handbook still works out very well.

Jrr Tolkien
Author of
, and many peripheral works.
including Letters from Father Christmas (
) which is on my hint list this year!
Essentially the only modern fantasy author with a real education in philology, mythology,
, etc.
lack of a sound foundation in these areas leads to what
calls the
I'faith he waxes right wrathful
school of fantasy writing
AFAIK, he basically invented the genre "modern fantasy", complete with its most typical property: the complete lack of relativism.
That's an interesting proposition. I'm a few tens of thousands of words into writing a novel that takes the SF/Fantasy
, but what its
is relativism and the damage that the (mis) application of that idea, and the associated
programme has done to British society. Or, it will be if I can do it right. I wonder if what you say is true, and if it might have had some influence on my choice of form. --
(I'd appreciate a page on
aimed at the philosophical pleb, like me - thanks)
All this yapping about "relativism" and "allegory" in the Tolkien critique literature comes from the terrible European fad at the beginning of the 1900s among writers such as CS Lewis to pack their fantasy as much as they could with thinly-veiled, dripping, wallowing, sugar-coated, Eurocentric, pro-Christian, political propaganda. Tolkien is orthogonal.
Let me try to give an example: In the LotR, Sauron has armies of creatures called orcs. Apparently, these orcs always quarrel among themselves, they have rusty weapons, they eat spoiled food, they have bad clothes. In contrast, the "good guys" have far better equipment and apparently a much smaller dead toll, which doesn't come as a surprise given the bad overall equipment and organization of the orcs. If
were an orc, I would defect to the enemy; if I were Sauron, I would make sure my troops weren't that enormously underequipped compared to the enemy. It seems to me that Tolkien never considered the situation from the viewpoint of the "bad guys". Everything we learn about the orcs is so that the reader will consider them repugnant, but it goes so far that a less repugnant orc would actually be a better soldier.
Right. Thanks for the clarification, that's not quite what I was thinking.
What you say is a good observation of the genre. In fact, it isn't clear just why Sauron is
in the first place, beyond being not Gandalf.
One of the things that I always appreciated about LOTR is that Tolkien DID spend time showing things from the "bad guys" perspective. The thing is, these guys really ARE scum. Most of the evil guys are barely civilized. Orcs have bad equipment because they don't care enough about anything to be good craftsmen, not because Sauron wants them poorly equipped. Yes, Orcs and many of the others would be better adversaries if they were more like the good guys. But that's the point of his story, that Good will triumph because it has something that Evil can't match, no matter Evil's apparent might. This is typified by his treatment of hobbits - not powerful seeming, but just TRY and mess with them. Orcs were created by Evil as knock-offs of elves, and they are inferior to elves in every way.
Tolkien even has an in depth discussion of the theological status of orcs in his published Letters. A priest friend of his objected along similar lines as above with the argument thrown in that orcs couldn't be irredeemably evil. Tolkien replied with a very detailed defense of his position. Note also that orcs are the cannon fodder of Morgoth and Sauron for their great wars, and to patrol mountain ranges. Some of their other servants/creations like the Balrogs, the Uruk-hai and Olog-hai, the Nazgul, the subjugated "Easterlings" tribes, or his "Mouth of Sauron" are disciplined and equivalent to the good guys best.
As for why Sauron is the bad guy... There is a whole history Tolkien developed, much of which is told in
. Sauron is mostly following in the footsteps of Morgoth, the original bad guy who attempted to destroy paradise and take its greatest treasures for his own. You could argue that Morgoth has as valid a position as the "good guys", but what it comes down to is that he opposed the order established by the creator of that world. You can't get much worse than going against god!
Unless your god happens to be a bigoted violent bully. Anyway, (and I haven't read
) wouldn't what you describe put Morgoth on a similar moral footing as Prometheus, or Lucifer, or Loki? Figures of ambiguous moral stature at worst.
The Ainulindale story ["music of the holy ones"] in
represents Eru ["the one"], the parent deity, dividing his own mind into Ainu ["holy ones"], each bearing a subset of Eru's set of all possible traits. But part of the nature of consciousness is that some of these traits, divested of the whole, will now be at odds with others. Humanoids have the power to do evil because all consciousness taken as one must perforce contain conflict.
Eru created two simultaneous arenas for the Ainu to express themselves in. They perceived the music as first because Eru did not tell them that their music was but a model for Ea, the physical universe. Creating the music created Ea and the format for its history.
Eru created Melkor ["arise in might"] essentially in his first batch; Melkor received essentially the greatest part of Eru's whole that could fit together in one being.
Melkor's pride and impatience with his own creativity (kind of a cosmic ADHD) caused him (and his camp among the Ainu) to add themes to the music that didn't belong here in the composition. But because the other Ainu did not yield he then became angry and contested with them. This mapped into Ea as the situation where Melkor and his followers pridefully refused to harmonize his creativity with that of the other Valar ["powers"].
The elf prince Feanor later named Melkor "Morgoth", the "black enemy host".
That's interesting. In "The Witches Of Eastwick", John Updike seems to be exploring a similar idea. Darryl Van
Horne is frustrated time and again in his attempts to
. My reading was that, in part, Darryl (Lucifer) is interested in women because women can create new life, and in those three women in particular because each of them is highly creative in some other way too.
I'm not sure I agree with that. It seems more to me that the original sin of Melkor was being out of tune...
In one of his letters, Tolkien says enough about this that you can sort of tell what Melkor was doing wrong. Melkor was trying to make the tune better by adding his own theme to it - trying to improve on what he could not understand, and thereby breaking it. This is a fairly familiar source of evil, and Tolkien thought it had a fairly central role. Of course all this just made Melkor bitter, which is why he spends so much time trying to break the superior works around him. --
Sounds like Wiki.
The author whom I love to read but consider a total hack is David Eddings. He's written several epic stories, patterned largely on Tolkien's formula. Then he has the nerve to claim credit for Tolkien's formula! At least he's amusing. Tolkien on the other hand wrote so finely I am still mystified whenever I pull down LOTR for a re-read.
The point of his story:
Good Acts Benefit the Doer. Evil Acts Harm the Doer. Both in ways not intended.
I suggest an extract of the discussion on this page onto one like
might be in order. Whatever, I like
' comment that his friendship with Tolkien was surprising for two reasons: as a Protestant growing up in Northern Ireland he had been warned "never trust a Catholic" and in the English department at Magdalen College, Oxford he had been warned "never trust a philologist". To become such a close friend and admirer of a Catholic philologist was therefore quite against the run of play.
Yeah. Gotta watch out for those philologists. I wanna learn Cuneiform B. But they've prob'ly got a bogus prerequisite on it, like Cuneiform A.
AN Wilson (who joins Tolkien, Lewis and
in that group of EnglishAuthors
who deserve a better
(What group? --
and AN Wilson were not Inklings.
) ) states in his biography of Lewis that it is very unlikely that Tolkien would ever have completed Lord of the Rings if it hadn't been for CS Lewis's belief in the work's genius and his relentless encouragement to Tolkien not to give up on it.
"[This subworld you have created] has the inner self-consistency of reality"
is a phrase that I wish could be applied more often to software systems I've been involved in. --
Quite so - I'd like to see that in my work too. In fact, I'd settle for having my
occasionally exhibit some inner self-consistency...

Red Monkey Coffee Bean Grinders
About Grinders:
Ground coffee starts to loose its freshness as soon as the packet is opened. Thereafter the taste goes down over time. Freezer or airtight storage only prolongs the flavour in a limited time. However non ground whole coffee beans will stay fresh for weeks/months before they begin to lose their optimum freshness and beans will only gradually loose their flavour.
Cheaply available coffee-chopper blade grinders cut the bean up repeatedly and the friction can often begin to "cook" the coffee whilst grinding. They are also unable to produce an even or fine grind which is required for making espresso, however we do sell a good version of this type for people on a budget, they are great for cafetiere coffee and will work with filter machines but burr grinder is recommended. A common problem for people making espresso is they can't grind the coffee fine enough to tamp and pack into the filter holder resulting in no crema or the shot running through too quickly. A burr grinder uniformly crushes the beans between two mills giving you a powder grind if required.

The grinding of the beans is a critical moment in the preparation of a cup of true espresso. Ideally, it should be done just prior to the brewing of the coffee itself, and must be conducted with maximum uniformity and precision. For this the coffee grinder is essential: one has to be able to count on the accuracy of grind in relation to the particular coffee blend.
The Gaggia Macinacaffe MM is more than capable of meeting such requirements. In addition, it is elegant in appearance and easy to maintain, and combines perfectly with all of the Gaggia coffee machines.

Greg Strobel named USA Wrestling Man of the YearGreg Strobel of Bethlehem, Pa., who has served wrestling as a volunteer leader, coach and administrator for decades, has been named Man of the Year by USA Wrestling, the national governing body for wrestling in the United States. This award recognizes an outstanding man for his contributions to the sport of wrestling.
"My first thought when I heard about this was that it is a cool deal. I've seen the list of previous winners, and that is very good company. All of those people dedicated their lives to improve wrestling. To join those people with this award is a great honor" said Strobel.
Strobel serves as First Vice President of USA Wrestling, and is a member of the Executive Committee. He has been a member of the USA Wrestling Board of Directors for almost 20 years.
He is the chairperson of the Freestyle Sports Committee, which oversees the national freestyle program. He is also the chairperson of the Sports Science Committee and the Freestyle Coach Selection Committee. Strobel also serves as a member of the Greco-Roman Sport Committee and the Women's Sport Committee.
Strobel chairs an ad-hoc committee that is making recommendations concerning the restructuring of USA Wrestling's Board of Directors and Committee structure. He has also served for over a decade as the chairperson of the ad-hoc Title IX Committee. He has also served on many other USA Wrestling Committees in the past.
For many years, Strobel was one of the most successful freestyle wrestling coaches within USA Wrestling. He served as a co-coach for the 2000 U.S. Olympic freestyle team, which featured gold medalist Brandon Slay and four medalists in Sydney, Australia.
Strobel served as the assistant coach of the 1996 U.S. Olympic team, which claimed five medals, including three individual champions. He was also a coach of the 1999 U.S. Freestyle World Team, which placed second in the team standings and featured three medalists, including World champion Stephen Neal.
He was the head coach of the 1994 U.S. Goodwill Games team, which featured two individual gold medalists. He was a co-coach of the 1997 U.S. World Cup team that won the team title and made history by winning every bout in the gold-medal match against Russia. He was assistant coach of the 1995 U.S. World team, which claimed the World team title and featured four champions. Strobel also served as head coach for the 1997 U.S. Junior World team.
He was named the 1997 USA Wrestling's Freestyle Coach of the Year and 1999 Developmental Coach of the Year. He is the first to receive both Developmental and Senior coach of the year honors.
In 13 seasons as head coach at Lehigh University, Strobel had 189-83-1 dual meet record and led Lehigh to six EIWA championships including five consecutive titles from 2002-06. Strobel was named EIWA Coach of the Year four times, and was named National Coach of the Year by the NWCA after leading Lehigh to a third place finish at the 2004 NCAA Championships. His wrestlers captured 28 individual EIWA titles and totaled 30 All-America medals. Strobel coached two national champions, Rob Rohn in 2002 and Troy Letters in 2004.
Previously, he was head coach for the Team Foxcatcher club program in the 1990's, when the team produced numerous U.S. World Team members and national champion athletes on the Senior level. Strobel is proud that one year that Foxcatcher had six of the 10 U.S. freestyle national champions.
Strobel served as National Teams Director for USA Wrestling from 1983-91, directing the programs for the elite athletes and international teams for the United States. He was responsible for overseeing the activities of the National Coaches and the volunteer coaching staffs. As Nationals Teams Director, Strobel helped in the preparation of all U.S. World and Olympic teams. While he was in this position, USA Wrestling created its landmark National Team program in 1989, which provided financial support for the nation's top international athletes.
While a USA Wrestling employee, Strobel served as the Team Leader for the 1988 U.S. Olympic Greco-Roman Team. He also served as the USA Wrestling's National Freestyle Coach prior to the 1988 Olympic Games.
Strobel also served as an assistant coach at his alma mater Oregon State Univ. He won two NCAA titles for Oregon State and was named the Outstanding Wrestler at the 1973 NCAA Tournament. He was a national runner-up in freestyle, and placed four times at the national meet. Strobel originally hails from Scapoose, Ore.
He is currently an administrator for the Lehigh University athletic department, serving as the Assistant Athletic Director for External Relations. He is the past president of the Eastern Collegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) and a previous member of the NCAA Rules Committee.
In 2009, a book about his life was published entitled STROBEL: Stories from a life with wrestling, written by Jamie Moffatt.
Strobel will be recognized by his peers during the USA Wrestling Board of Directors meeting on August 20.
"I am honored that USA Wrestling is presenting this award to me. The timing is perfect, with it being recognized at our Board meeting, which we hope will be a landmark meeting as we discuss Board restructuring. To be named Man of the Year and to work on that project at the same time is very special for me" said Strobel.

George Clinton
In the course of his previous albums, funk-meister Clinton has shuttled between very good and horrid, between fine-tuned and sloppy. But R&B Skeletons is a wall-to-wall groove. Strap yourself in for Clinton's patented street bazaar of salacious and playful lyrics set to lethal bass lines. Talk about odd couples: Hey Good Lookin' contains the double bonus of guest vocalists Vanessa Williams, making a credible recording debut, and James Brown alumnus Bootsy Collins. Clinton's longtime design artist, Pedro Bell, has produced mordant cover illustrations for R&B Skeletons. The drawings and text poke fun at black musicians obsessed with crossing over to pop acceptance. But inside, Clinton uses pop-influenced methods of mixing and percussion better than he ever has, thanks to synthesizer programmers Stephen Washington and Z O, usually known as Jerry Moseley. Once uncomfortable with computerized music, Clinton has on this album combined electronics, soulfulness and his own sense of humor. (Capitol)

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
Investors are approaching the day cautiously, prompting only small gains in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) through the early afternoon. As of 2:15 p.m. EDT the Dow has picked up 15 points, with blue-chip member stocks split between risers and fallers. Most Dow stocks aren't moving too dramatically, but the index's two telecom giants are leading the Dow's laggards. Let's catch up on all the stock action you need to know about.
Telecoms fight for position
AT&T (NYSE: T ) is stuck at the bottom of the blue-chip index today, with shares down 1.3% after sources attributed by Reuters said the company is interested in buying a potentially significant stake in Italy's leading telecom firm, Telecom Italia. While AT&T has declined to comment in the matter, if the rumor proves reality, it could be a significant step toward expansion for America's second-largest wireless carrier.
Telecom Italia is burdened with debt, however, so it's not a clear-cut victory for investors if AT&T moves in on the buy. The roughly $38 billion in debt Telecom Italia had at the end of June far surpassed the company's market capitalization, and ratings companies have already mulled downgrading the firm's debt to junk status.
For AT&T however, it's a potential way to keep up with competitor Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) , America's leading wireless company. Verizon made big waves recently when it announced a massive deal to purchase Vodafone's share of Verizon Wireless. Verizon's shares are also down moderately today as the company moves to seal financing for the $130 billion deal. It's a pricey deal, but considering the growth of the wireless market -- growth that Verizon thinks still has room to run in the U.S. -- it might be enough to cement Verizon's status as the above-and-beyond leader in America's wireless battle.
JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM ) is one of two big banks in the process of securing financing for Verizon, and the bank's stock is up 0.7% so far today on investor optimism. But JPMorgan's in the news today for another reason: The company announced today that it will stop accepting applications for student loans.
This looks like a good move for the company. The student loan bubble has become a massive hurdle in the U.S., and JPMorgan cited government competition in the business as problematic for future growth. Additionally, student loan assets -- just $11 billion at the company -- don't even comprise 1% of JPMorgan's total assets. It's a low-risk move that won't jeopardize the firm's performance in the future but will remove it from one of the major financial obstacles facing Americans. For JPMorgan, a company that has dealt with enough high-profile problems lately, it's a good move to step away from a growing national problem before any real headaches emerge.
Have you missed out on the massive gains in bank stocks over the past few years? There's good news: It's not too late. Bargains of a lifetime are still available, but you need to know where to look. The Motley Fool's new report "Finding the Next Bank Stock Home Run" will show you how and where to find these deals. It's completely free -- click here to get started.

It was a whirlwind for Wes Johnson, the Big East Player of the Year at Syracuse last season and now a rookie with the Timberwolves. Three games in four days and renewing old friendships in a place he captivated with his all-around play last season for the Orange took something of a toll.
"I was tired, a lot of adrenaline going," Johnson said. "It was a lot different from college, when the student section was crazy. Still, seeing the "S" on the floor brought back a lot of memories."
Johnson was 2-of-6 from the floor, missing two attempts from 3-point range and nabbed two steals and one rebound in just over 21 minutes.
"I think Wes was a little nervous coming home," Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis said. "He wanted to do really well. A lot of the times, he forgot what we were supposed to do out there, but that's youth. He's still learning. In shootaround, I saw him do things athletically I had never seen him do, so I know he was fired up."
Austin Daye had 18 points, Charlie Villanueva added 16, Will Bynum had 12 and Ben Gordon 11 for the Pistons (2-3 preseason).
Nikola Pekovic and Martell Webster each had 13 points for Minnesota (4-1).
The Timberwolves trailed for most of the first quarter, then started the second with a 14-2 spurt as the Pistons went cold, hitting just 4-of-15 shots in the period, and the Wolves never trailed again.
Love's 3-pointer from the left wing at 7:17 gave the Wolves a 34-31 lead. Webster's steal and dunk put Minnesota up 44-37, and his driving dunk less than a minute later kept them in front by seven. Villanueva's fast-break dunk in the final minute moved the Pistons within 49-43 at halftime.
Detroit got as close as 53-52 on Villanueva's follow midway in the third, but Johnson scored from left wing and Love followed with seven consecutive points, giving Minnesota a 65-60 lead with a 3-pointer over the outstretched arms of Villanueva at 4:22.
Daye's jumper with 5 minutes left in the third was the last basket for the Pistons in the period. Webster's pullup jumper and a basket by Kosta Koufos gave Minnesota a 71-61 lead after three, and they coasted from there.
It was a homecoming for three former Syracuse stars of coach Jim Boeheim: Johnson, who declared a year early for the NBA draft; point guard Jonny Flynn, who left after his sophomore season; and veteran Jason Hart, who's trying to earn a spot on the Timberwolves as a free agent.
Dave Bing, Boeheim's college roommate who went on to a Hall of Fame NBA career spent mostly with the Pistons and now serves as mayor of Detroit, tossed the ceremonial jump ball.

Artist biography
American pioneer of Land art and Body art, born in Mason City, Washington. Studied at California College of Arts and Crafts, and Stanford University. Impressed by Kienholz, but reacted against his work c.1965. After a visit to New York 1966-7, decided to abandon making objects. Settled in New York in 1967. From mid 1967 to 1969, concerned with increasingly large-scale earth-orientated projects, including the inscribing or transplanting of lines or material associated with one site onto a second site strikingly different from it, e.g. the tracing in snow on either side of the St John River, the frontier between Canada and the USA, of concentric circles corresponding to the annular rings of a tree. First one-man exhibition in New York, of Ground Systems, at the John Gibson Gallery 1968. Began in 1969 to use his own body as material by subjecting it to wounds, pressures, sunburn etc., sometimes as an investigation of biological processes. Documented his works with photographs, maps, etc.; also from 1969 with films and videos. Lives in New York.

The Old Garden: One Shot of Sake and One Cigarette (Part 27/28)
October 29, 2009
After dinner I walked down to Todam, the Traditional Tea Salon, run by the youngest son of the Soonchun lady. I became reacquainted with the Bunny Boy, who was now in his thirties. Yoon Hee and I had adored the youngest boy at the main house. We frequently sent him on errands to the village in order to give him pocket money. Yoon Hee nicknamed him the Bunny Boy because his two front teeth protruded and his eyes were so round. It is inevitably disappointing to see someone you knew as a child all grown up. A child has a future full of possibilities, yet there is no shadow of greed. All too soon, however, the childish ingenuity and innocence are gone without a trace. As the face matures, layers of tired guile are added. The Bunny Boy was not shy at all. Instead, he seemed to be guarded or sneering at me, this old man who had returned. When I said how sorry I was to see Kalmae changed so much, he said, quite firmly, that I did not know the reality, that the village needed to be developed further. His wife, the youngest daughter-in-law of the Soonchun lady, only went to village schools and had never lived in a big city, but she still looked like a woman who enjoyed more urban surroundings like Kwangju. They called me Uncle, a small gesture they offered to acknowledge my connection to his parents in the past. As I left, I bought a pack of cigarettes for the first time.
I opened the packet, pulled out a cigarette, and held it up to my mouth. In prison, on snowy days when the cement wall was covered with water droplets as frost melted and the chill from the bare floor penetrated my knees, I would think of warm sake. I imagined the guard on duty having a psychotic episode and secretly pushing a cup of it through the little slot they put the meals through. I walked into the bathroom and looked at the sky, the heavy snow falling through the tiny window cross-cut with bars. My breath dissipated into the air like cigarette smoke. If only I could have had one shot of sake and one cigarette on nights like that.

Take Control of Your Financial Situation
|Email Print
This article is part of the series, The Summer of George- The Most Productive Summer a College Student Will Ever Have.
Do you think that you don't earn enough money have to worry about managing your finances? If so you are dead wrong. If you get into the habit of properly managing your finances at an early age then these habits will hopefully follow you into your 30s and so on. Let this summer be known as the time where you finally took control of your financial situation.
Open a retirement account. Even if you put $20 into this account once a month it still beats not having a retirement account setup. I started my first retirement account when I was 17 and my Mom had to co-sign it.
Start an emergency fund. As a college student an emergency fund may not be your top priority but when you graduate it becomes an important issue. The reason an emergency fund becomes an issue after graduation? Simple, this will most likely be your first step into the "real world" and unexpected events WILL happen. You can't prevent certain emergencies from happening but you might as well be financially prepared.
Setup a debt repayment plan. If you are using student loans to fund your college tuition then you definitely need to start thinking about how you will pay off your debt. Will you consolidate your loans? Will you start by paying off your high interest debt first? These are decisions and payments you need to begin making this summer not after your college graduation.
Keep track of your spending. Summer is probably the worst time to keep track of your spending because it seems like there is always something going on and always a reason to spend money. However, there is no sense in waiting to begin keeping track of your spending. Start the moment you read this article. No excuses, try to keep track of all of the money you spend to see where you stand. This means you might have to use your iPhone for more than just going on Twitter.
Automate your finances. This final point ties this whole article together. I just listed four major points that most college students will not even consider due to the amount of work they think is required. Here's a little not-so-well-known secret you can automate every aspect of your financial situation. How can you do this? Well I don't know how the banks exactly do it but after filling out a few forms you can automate your finances even if you earn $100 a month. A little saving is better than no saving.
We all want to have a productive summer but we just don't know where to start. Here's a little secret: you can start by reading The Summer of George- The Most Productive Summer a College Student Will Ever Have:

Are There Any Natural Treatments for a Headache?
Hi, I am Dr. Michael Murray. Many headaches may be a sign of magnesium deficiency. For example, studies show 30 to 50 percent of people with migraine headaches are deficient in magnesium. Magnesium deficiency is suspected to cause blood-vessel spasms that lead to a headache. Studies have shown that migraine sufferers with low magnesium levels who take 400 to 800 mg of magnesium daily can have a significant decrease in the frequency of migraine headaches after three to four weeks of supplementation.
Which Dietary Factors are Important in Anxiety?
Hi, I am Dr. Michael Murray. There are at least seven nutritional factors that may be responsible for triggering anxiety: caffeine, sugar, deficiency of B vitamins, deficiency of calcium or magnesium, alcohol and food allergies. Simply avoiding caffeine, sugar, alcohol and any foods that trigger allergies, along with boosting B vitamins, calcium and magnesium, can go a long way in relieving anxiety. In fact, cutting out caffeine alone often results in the complete elimination of symptoms.

If you want your Jaguar to look more snarling than purring, the folks in Coventry have a solution. The new XF Black Pack trades strips Jaguar's sport sedan of chrome accents in a move to give the four-door a menacing look.
The Black Pack consists of 20-inch Draco wheels finished with dark-grey centers with diamond turned rim sections. Apart from the custom rolling stock, the Black Pack also strips the car of most chrome accents, finishing most — if not all — exterior trim with a gloss black finish. Additionally, buyers can spring for the Aerodynamic Pack, which adds a deeper front fascia, taller side skirts, and mesh inserts within the air inlets.
Currently, both packs are only available in Europe, but given Americans' propensity for intimidating cars, we think it would be successful here as well. Prices in England for the Black Pack are set at £950 (approximately $1500) and only available on the Diesel S and 5.0-liter XFs.

Bill Condon, the director of the Oscar-winning Dreamgirls, is said to be the studio's first choice to bring Breaking Dawn to the big screen, reports Entertainment Weekly.
Summit is also looking to split up The Twilight Saga's fourth novel – which clocks in at 756 pages – into two films, with the first part focusing on Bella's (Kristen Stewart) marriage and pregnancy, and part two following her transition from mortal to vampire.
Considered the series's most difficult novel to adapt because of its graphic birthing scenes, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg recently told Film.com she doesn't foresee the final Twilight film being any less teen friendly.
"You don't sacrifice story by cutting language. Nor do you sacrifice story by showing less blood or gore," she said. "There are some movies that wouldn't play at PG-13, like The Hangover, but this is just not one of them for me…If you're capturing character, emotion, and emotional journey, you're OK."
Before Breaking Dawn hits the box office, The Twilight Saga's third film, Eclipse, hits theaters June 30.

The nation's second largest bank by assets, Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) still has a long way to go relative to its peers before returning to a normalized level of earnings. But that doesn't mean the Charlotte, N.C.-based bank can't have its moment in the sun.
By at least one measure, Bank of America ended up having the best quarter among all of the nation's largest lenders -- Citigroup was excluded from the analysis given its nonanalogous business model. The measure I'm referring to here is the year-over-year growth in its pretax, preprovision profit, excluding unusual items.
This is a mouthful, so let's break it down. It consists of a bank's earnings before taxes, less any type of unusual and nonrecurring items (like, say, JPMorgan Chase's (NYSE: JPM ) $9.3 billion litigation provision), and less loan-loss provisions. The net result is a cleaner picture of how well a lender's core operations performed from one time period to the next.
On a year-over-year basis, Bank of America's PTPPP expanded by 15%. PNC Financial (NYSE: PNC ) came in second by this measure with a growth rate of 4%. Beyond these two, all of the other major lenders saw core profitability fall as a result of lower mortgage-banking income and a depressed fixed-income trading environment.
Does this mean Bank of America will soon return to fighting form? Far from it, as it still has an enormous expense base to chip away at, as well as a handful of outstanding legal cases to resolve. What it does mean, however, is that the bank is making considerable progress in the right direction.

Food was so bad that I sent back three plates and I have NEVER sent food back to the kitchen before. Oysters Rockefeller were a solid mass encrusted to the shell. Many items were overcooked or burnt. Eggs were consistently undercooked even when ordered medium or hard. Some food was quite good, but for the price I expected every meal to be outstanding.
Our cruise director had never been to three of the six ports of call and couldn't answer questions about them.
Rooms were OK, but sort of felt like hospital room decor. The illustration of the room in promo materials appears much more spacious than reality. At least there was adequate storage--however bathroom storage was awkward.
The main activity on this ship is small talk with other guest, especially at meals. The acoustics in the dining room made this difficult (impossible at times).
This cruise was quite expensive. I would have been disappointed at 1/4 the price.

The showdown over the federal budget has begun in Washington, D.C. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a spending bill over the weekend that includes deep cuts to this year's federal budget.
Now the measure's fate will be decided by the Democratically-controlled U.S. Senate. If the two sides can't agree, there could be a government shutdown.CBN News Political Correspondent John Jessup talked more about the possible shutdown on the CBN News Channel's Midday News, Feb. 21. Click here to watch.The public relations campaign will be in full force this week with Republicans eager to show voters they have the message.
"Read my lips -- we are going to cut spending," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
Democrats are chomping at the bit to paint the Republicans' $61 billion in proposed cuts as being "out of touch."
"Are we going to take a weed whacker to education funding in this country while we let millionaires continue to deduct interest on their second home?" asked Sen. Claire McCaskill. "That doesn't seem to be the right priority."
The spending bill passed the Republican-controlled House along party lines early Saturday morning. It now goes to the Senate, where it will face major opposition from Democrats.
"If I have anything to fault with the House approach to it, I think they went too far in their cuts," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
The measure aims to trim the fat and shrink the size of the federal government, including cuts to:
"Why on earth are we given $363 million in taxpayer funds every year to Planned Parenthood?" said Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va.
Pro-life advocates said political pressure will be on the Senate to follow the same course.
"This may be a several step process that even if we don't win this time, we need to come back again and continue our efforts to de-fund the largest abortion provider in the United States," said Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America.
Democrats have seized on Republican-proposed cuts to the Department of Homeland Security and Border Patrol and have already labeled them as "simply dangerous."
With such big differences in what to cut -- and a veto threat from the White House -- many lawmakers have also been concerned about a possible government shut down.
"It's good for political rhetoric to talk about a government shutdown," said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. "But I don't know anybody that wants that to happen."
It's a race against the clock. Lawmakers are back in their home districts all this week, which leaves only a few days for the House and Senate to reach a deal before government funding runs dry on March 4.

Mac Video Pro: Final Cut Pro, Compressor, Motion updates
Australia has the Great Barrier Reef and the Mac Video Pro community has an equally impressive feature — the great divide between FPC and FPC X users, and never the twain shall meet. With these updates, the folks that prefer Final Cut Pro X, and there are more than a few, are gonna like it a bit more.
Apple has released Final Cut Pro 10.0.7 ($299.99, free trial) and, as these things go, it is rather unexciting. Unless, of course, one of the bugs that has been vexing you has now been fixed:
• The Letterbox effect "Offset" slider has been restored
• Fixes an issue when creating a single layer DVD
• Fixes an issue where some third-party effects could cause Final Cut Pro to hang during background rendering
• Fixes an issue where some third-party transitions would incorrectly use black instead of source media
• Adds support for editing MXF files that are still ingesting
• Fixes an issue rendering Motion Templates containing Image Units
As is oft their wont, Apple simultaneously delivered Compressor 4.0.6 ($49.99), which fixes an issue with the upload of clips of greater than 1 GB to Vimeo, and Motion 5.0.6 ($49.99), which puts a prejudicial thumb to Image Unit and dual display issues.

America's Strategic Choices (Revised Edition)by Michael E. Brown Owen R. Coté Sean M. Lynn-Jones Steven E. Miller
More than a decade has passed since the end of the Cold War, but the United States has yet to reach a consensus on a coherent approach to the international use of American power. The essays in this volume present contending perspectives on the future of US grand strategy. US policy options include primacy, cooperative security, selective engagement, and retrenchment. This revised edition includes additional and more recent analysis and advocacy of these options. The volume includes the Clinton administration's National Security Strategy for a New Century, the most recent official statement of American grand strategy, so readers can compare proposed strategies with the official US government position.
The Historiography of Communismby Michael E. Brown
In this fresh appraisal of communism and anti-communism, with an emphasis on the American case, respected scholar Michael E. Brown examines the methods, controversies and difficulties involved in writing the history of communism. Arguing that one important way of understanding communism--other than as a concrete political or ideological force--is as an expression of an essentially reflexive aspect of society that typically manifests itself in social movements. In this regard, Brown understands the history of communism as part of the history of society. Examining works by E. P. Thompson, Karl Marx, and Pierre Clastres, Brown develops the idea of history as an immanent feature of human activities. Taken together, the essays in this book--written over a period of 20 years-offer a distinctive approach to the connections between social theory, criticism, and historiography and to what is "social" about "social movements. "
Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict (Revised Edition)by Michael E. Brown Owen R. Coté Sean M. Lynn-Jones Steven E. Miller
Most recent wars have been complex and bloody internal conflicts driven to a significant degree by nationalism and ethnic animosity. Since the end of the Cold War, dozens of wars -- in Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda, Somalia, the former Soviet Union, and elsewhere -- have killed or displaced millions of people. Understanding and controlling these wars has become one of the most important and frustrating tasks for scholars and political leaders. This revised and expanded edition of Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict contains essays from some of the world's leading analysts of nationalism, ethnic conflict, and internal war. The essays from the first edition have been updated and supplemented by analyses of recent conflicts and new research on the resolution of ethnic and civil wars. The first part of the book addresses the roots of nationalistic and ethnic wars, focusing in particular on the former Yugoslavia. The second part assesses options for international action, including the use of force and the deployment of peacekeeping troops. The third part examines political challenges that often complicate attempts to prevent or end internal conflicts, including refugee flows and the special difficulties of resolving civil wars.
Offense, Defense, and Warby Michael E. Brown Owen R. Coté Sean M. Lynn-Jones Steven E. Miller
Offense-defense theory argues that the relative ease of offense and defense varies in international politics. When the offense has the advantage, military conquest becomes easier and war is more likely; the opposite is true when the defense has the advantage. The balance between offense and defense depends on geography, technology, and other factors. This theory, and the body of related theories, has generated much debate and research over the past twenty-five years. This book presents a comprehensive overview of offense-defense theory. It includes contending views on the theory and some of the most recent attempts to refine and test it.
Primacy and Its Discontents: American Power and International Stabilityby Michael E. Brown Owen R. Coté Sean M. Lynn-Jones Steven E. Miller
The unprecedented military, economic, and political power of the United States has led some observers to declare that we live in a unipolar world in which America enjoys primacy or even hegemony. At the same time public opinion polls abroad reveal high levels of anti-Americanism, and many foreign governments criticize U.S. policies. Primacy and Its Discontents explores the sources of American primacy, including the uses of U.S. military power, and the likely duration of unipolarity. It offers theoretical arguments for why the rest of the world will--or will not--align against the United States. Several chapters argue that the United States is not immune to the long-standing tendency of states to balance against power, while others contend that wise U.S. policies, the growing role of international institutions, and the spread of liberal democracy can limit anti-American balancing. The final chapters debate whether countries are already engaging in "soft balancing" against the United States. The contributors offer alternative prescriptions for U.S. foreign policy, ranging from vigorous efforts to maintain American primacy to acceptance of a multipolar world of several great powers. Contributors:Gerard Alexander, Stephen Brooks, John G. Ikenberry, Christopher Layne, Keir Lieber, John Owen IV, Robert Pape, T. V. Paul, Barry Posen, Kenneth Waltz, William Wohlforth
The Rise of Chinaby Michael E. Brown Owen R. Coté Sean M. Lynn-Jones Steven E. Miller
China's relentless economic growth in the 1980s and 1990s heralded its emergence as a great power in world politics. As its economy expanded, China seemed poised to become the second-largest economy in the world. At the same time, it modernized its military and adopted a more assertive diplomatic posture. Many observers have begun to debate the international implications of China's rise. Some analysts argue that China will inevitably pose a threat to peace and security in East Asia. A few even predict a new cold war between Beijing and Washington. Others claim that a powerful China can remain benign. None believes that China can be ignored. The essays in this volume assess China's emerging capabilities and intentions, debate the impact that China will have on security in the Asia-Pacific region, and propose polices for the United States to adopt in its relations with China.

On June 8, 2011, Mark S. McKenzie, LAc MsOM DiplOM, ACAOM Chair and William W Goding, MEd RRT, ACAOM Interim Executive Director, appeared before the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI) as part of ACAOM's renewal of recognition by the U.S. Department of Education (USDE), which occurs every 5 years.
NACIQI unanimously approved the following recommendation to the Secretary of Education:
Grant the agency's request for an expansion of its scope of recognition to include its accreditation and pre-accreditation of professional post-graduate doctoral programs in acupuncture and in Oriental Medicine (DAOM). Continue the agency's current recognition and require the agency to come into compliance within 12 months, and submit a compliance report that demonstrates the agency's compliance with the issues identified below [in the full report].
Once the recommendation is approved by the Secretary of Education, ACAOM's scope of recognition for pre-accreditation (Candidacy) and accreditation will include post-graduate DAOM programs.
ACAOM will be working diligently over the next 12 months to complete the process of demonstrating compliance with all the USDE regulations [34 CFR 602].
