Merlin Takes to the Skies
After months of careful preparation, Glasair Aviation's new light sport aircraft, Merlin, took its first flight through the skies above Arlington Municipal Airport Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Following detailed validation testing, including engine run-up, high-speed taxi, and ground roll lift off, the team at Glasair stood back and watched as Merlin departed the surface of runway 34 with test-pilot Grant Smith at the controls. The flight lasted fifty-seven minutes, as Smith took the plane through a full test flight profile that included validating the engine's reliability, exploring flight control characteristics in flight and conducting standard flight maneuvers.
"While nothing can replace the sheer wonder of witnessing the birth of a child, the introduction and maiden flight of a new airplane design is a close second!" Glasair Development Manager Ted Setzer said. "The 'parents' were all there to witness it, including the Glasair Aviation's flight designer engineer, Chuck Hautamaki, and the entire Glasair Aviation team. Seeing the joy and exhilaration on everyone's faces was as satisfying as hearing the test pilot Grant Smith's, positive comments as he emerged from the cockpit."
Flight testing will continue throughout the coming weeks as Glasair celebrates this milestone in the company's history.
Merlin is a composite high-wing, tricycle gear aircraft designed to meet LSA certification requirements and based upon ASTM standards. It is fitted with a Rotax 912iS engine and Dynon's Skyview glass-panel avionics. Glasair also designed the Merlin to utilize the optional BRS parachute system for added pilot safety. The SLSA will also be the company's first certified aircraft."Our goal was to design an LSA with exceptional flying characteristics, performance, great visibility, aesthetically pleasing lines with easy access," Chief Engineer Chuck Hautamaki said.
The Merlin's 45" wide cockpit offers very comfortable side-by-side seating and outstanding forward and side visibility and sports one of the largest windshields in the entire LSA fleet. Designed and built with the same quality and care as the other Glasair models, Merlin will provide pilots with a high-quality option in this market segment.
"The Merlin LSA fits perfectly into our product line, rounding out a rich history of successful product launches that started in 1980 with the revolutionary Glasair," Setzer said. Glasair Aviation was founded in 1979 (as Stoddard-Hamilton Aircraft) and has been a world leader in kit-plane manufacturing for 35 years.

Trick or Treat?
Ah, it's Halloween again, time for the little ones to run around town trick-or-treating for their favorite sweets. You might be surprised to learn the humble roots of trick-or-treating. Originally Hallows' Eve, it is believed to have origins in the Middle Ages when 'souling' was common practice. Poor folk would travel door to door on Hallowmas, receiving food in return for prayers for the dead on All Souls Day. Since, it has evolved into a more family-centered holiday -- a playful weekend when everyone from kids to parents dress up in costumes, play games and eat copious amounts of candy.
Around the mid-century, just when Halloween became a yearly tradition in the US, so too did the classic candies we know and love grow in popularity -- perhaps even helping to spread the practice of trick-or-treating from the west to east coast.
Behold, a few classic candies from the 1950s, most of which you can still find if you look hard enough.
Abba-Zaba A chewy peanut butter taffy sure to give your jaw a workout! First made by Colby and McDermott in the early 1920s, Abba Zaba was purchased by Cardinet Candy Co. and acquired by Annabelle in 1978.
Jujubes First manufactured by Heide Candy Company in the early 1900s; sold to Hershey's in 1995.
Oh Henry! Created in1920 by the Williamson Candy Company of Chicago. Contrary to popular opinion, the bar was not named after the author, William Sydney Porter, who used the pseudonym 'O. Henry' when he began writing short stories. Williamson had a combination retail-wholesale candy store, and every day a young fellow named Henry would come in and talk to the girls who worked there. The girls got into the habit of asking Henry to do odd jobs and favors for them, so you could always hear, "Oh, Henry, would you get me this or that?" When it was time to name the new confection, the salesmen commented that all they hear around the store is "Oh Henry!...." So that's what they named it.
Sugar Daddy This caramel lollipop was originally called "Papa" when created by James O. Welch in 1925. In 1932 the name was changed to Sugar Daddy to suggest a wealth of sweetness.
Red Vines Made by American Licorice Company founded in Chicago around 1914, this red licorice candy is the number one selling non-chocolate confection.
Good&Plenty First produced in Philadelphia in 1893 and apparently the oldest branded candy in the United States, they attracted much attention with Choo Choo Charlie, the engineer whose train is fueled by Good & Plenty candy, which appeared in advertisements around 1950. 1950s *Good & Plenty* Candy Commercial

"The Bible lets us know that if we be faithful and obedient unto the Lord, God will bless us in due time," Apostle Lawrence Bogier Jr., past of Original Tabernacle of Prayer for All People, said about receiving the President's Volunteer Service Award.
When he was 11, Apostle Lawrence Bogier Jr. says he heard God tell him that He had a special job for him later in life. But when God came calling again while he was in early 30s, Bogier said...

AUSTIN - Two months after being created, the Texas Senate Select Committee on Redistricting hosted its first hearing Wednesday, and for panel chairman Kel Seliger there were no surprises.
"We know where most of the growth has occurred," the Amarillo Republican said in an interview after the two-hour hearing ended. "(But) we're getting more specific information that gives us a good idea of what exactly Texas looks like."
Seliger was referring to what state demographer Lloyd Potter and two officials from the Texas Legislative Council told the 11 members on the panel: Most of the explosive demographic growth Texas has seen in the last three decades has been in three large urban areas along or east of Interstate 35, largely fueled by the Hispanic population.
"There are more counties that have more than 50 percent Hispanics in 2009 than there were 2000," Potter told the lawmakers. "That pretty much tells the story - the growing population of Hispanic descent (and) the slower growth of the white population"
Figures from the 2010 U.S. Census won't be available until December at the earliest, but in the 2009 estimate the state saw fewer counties where Anglos are in the majority, Potter said.
Because of the growth of the past decade, Texas is expected to gain three, possibly four, congressional seats when the Legislature redraws the boundaries of all political districts as the law requires every 10 years.
However, for the Panhandle/South Plains region, it is expected to be a different story. Although the area's population grew 4 percent in the past decade - a robust growth considering that more than two dozen rural counties have continuously lost population for more than a half-century - the increase is modest compared to the Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio/Austin and Rio Grande Valley areas. Those areas grew as much as 57 percent, according to maps the lawmakers received from the Texas Legislative Council.
This means that West Texas is likely to lose at least one Texas House district and perhaps a congressional seat.
Anticipating the fierce battles lawmakers expect when they redraw the maps next year, Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, asked David Hanna of the Texas Legislative Council what advice he had for them. He immediately replied, "Have a lot of patience."
"This is going to be a long, long process," Hanna said.
Luis Figueroa, an attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, attended the hearing and said he was not surprised by what he heard.
"We do agree that the growth has been centered in the Valley, Dallas, Houston and the Austin/San Antonio corridor, and it has been fueled by the Hispanic community," Figueroa said. "That needs to be reflected in next year's redistricting. This was not reflected in the redistricting of 10 years ago. We are hoping that the Legislature will comply with the Voting Rights Act and creates at least a minority (congressional) district."
Seliger said Wednesday's hearing was an organizational meeting, and from now on the panel will travel across the state to get public input on the fairest way to redraw the boundaries of all political districts when the Legislature is back in session next year.
The next meeting, scheduled Sept. 20, is a joint hearing with two House subcommittees in Dallas. On Oct. 4, the panel will meet in Amarillo at Region 16 Education Center, 5800 S. Bell St. The time has not been set.
The Amarillo hearing will be the second of four legislative redistricting hearings in West Texas and of as many as 20 throughout the state. On Aug. 18, the House Redistricting and Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence subcommittees hosted a joint hearing in Lubbock. Other October hearings are scheduled for Abilene and Midland.

Odd to see the New York Times' Eric Asimov raving about Cascade Kriek as the finest sour ale while I'm here in the land of its inspiration--but. I can't disagree.
I do wish they'd included a bottle of Rodenbach Grand Cru in the flight, though.

Cascade Bests the Belgians

It's great to see a Portlanhd brewer come out on top! However, Cascade needs some branding help. Branding, graphic design, etc.

A healthy dose of the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation would help rectify opinions in the right direction - http://www.bierpallieters.be/index.php?a=4&b=1&lang=eng - try and make it next year.
Cascade Kriek is great, but it lacks a 'je ne sais quoi'. Well, actually I think I do, but you have to discover it for yourself. And Eric should too.

I'm with Dominic. Kudos to Cascade for their Kriek; it is indeed a fine beer, but a trifle one-dimensional compared to Cantillon, Boon, et al.

Subtitled A Guide to Birth Defects, this book by a prominent physician and a journalist provides information to parents and members of helping professions as to the causes, treatment, and prevention of prenatally and perinatally determined handicapping conditions.
Approximately one third of this 492-page book is devoted to a presentation of heredity, reproduction, and intrauterine development that provides just the right balance of complexity and wonderment to help the lay reader understand the potential causes of birth defects. This section, written in simplified but still technical language, includes both the normal sequence of events and descriptions of ways these events may be altered to complicate a pregnancy or birth. The remainder of the book presents short chapters on 25 handicapping conditions, ranging from sickle cell anemia and diabetes to mental retardation and minimal brain dysfunction. These are brief human interest dramas that describe the situations of families of handicapped children

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. - The federal government will move weapons-grade nuclear materials from a Los Alamos National Laboratory test site that critics contend is vulnerable to terrorist attack.
The National Nuclear Security Administration announced Wednesday that the process of shipping the first half of the special nuclear materials to Nevada Test Site will begin in September. The move is expected to take about 18 months.
A government watchdog group said that's too long.
"I applaud them that they are doing something," said Pete Stockton, an investigator for Project on Government Oversight in Washington, D.C.
But, he said, "it should not take that long; it should all be out of there in a year."
Money picture brightens for Kerry, Democrats
WASHINGTON - The Democratic Party finds itself in its most confident and comfortable financial position in years, though it still trails Republicans in almost every fund-raising category.
President Bush's fund-raising juggernaut keeps rolling, reaching more than $182 million Thursday and closing in on doubling the $100 million record he set in 2000.
The Democrats' efforts to whittle away at the GOP's spending advantage has been aided by presidential nominee-to-be John Kerry's decision to skip public financing and its spending limits, anti-Bush sentiment over the Iraq war, elimination of the party's debt, the formation of outside Democratic fund-raising groups, and Howard Dean's Internet fund-raising explosion.
"I think as long as we're around $100 million we'll be competitive, we'll get our message out." said Tony Coelho, a Democratic strategist and Al Gore's campaign chairman in 2000.
Push for paper backups might aid voting security
An effort to erase doubts about new ATM-style voting machines by backing up digital votes with paper records is gaining ground nationwide, as state officials heed warnings about security and potentially messy recounts.
Four states are demanding printers that will generate paper receipts voters can see and verify, and more than a dozen other states are weighing the change.
But only one state - Nevada - expects to have a paper trail in place by the fall elections.
"The stakes are so high. I don't put it above someone trying to manipulate elections on a grand scale," said Maryland state Sen. Andrew Harris, a Republican.
Harris wants to fix what many in the computer science world and elsewhere see as a dangerous flaw in the touch-screen machines that will be used in up to 34 states this November.

Reserves by name
Image: Andy Hay
Welcome to what is set to be our newest nature reserve. Medmerry will offer long walks and cycle rides through an amazing new landscape only a stone's throw from Pagham Harbour, with new mudflats, tidal lagoons, saltmarsh, wildlife-friendly farmland, dragonfly-rich ditches and great views and sunsets. Between 2011-2013, the Environment Agency (EA) constructed 4.25 miles (7 km) of new floodbank inland from the sea between Selsey and Bracklesham, on one of the last undeveloped stretches of coast anywhere between Southampton and Brighton. They then breached the existing shingle beach to create the largest managed realignment scheme on the open coast in Europe, creating amazing new wetland habitats. It is due to become an RSPB reserve, but owing to the wet weather in autumn 2013 the Environment Agency wasn't able to complete all the new footpaths, cyclepaths and horse-riding routes. They will return once the ground is dry enough in spring 2014, but already many of the paths are open even if they are not quite finished. We're busy helping the EA manage the site for now ahead of us taking over the day-to-day management of this new nature reserve next summer.We recommend that you start your visit at Pagham Harbour visitor centre, where you can get the latest information about which paths are open and where you can use the facilities.
Medmerry is a vast site, but we worked with the Environment Agency to make it as accessible as possible, given the constraints. In the future, we hope that a small car park (not yet open) at Easton Lane will give access straight onto the new flood bank, via a shallow ramp. You will then be able to follow the bank around on an excellent path to the Easton view point, which has expansive views.Those in electric disabled buggies should be able to follow the access track around the landward side of the floodbank all the way to the sea. There are no toilet facilities on site, but there is a disabled toilet at Pagham Harbour.
We are aiming for this to be a great place for families wanting to explore by bike - watch this space.
Dogs are welcome, but are only allowed on footpaths and should always be under close control. If there is livestock grazing, owners will be asked to put their dogs on a lead.

10th May
Departure Time: 0800 (also actual)
Arrival: 1015 (actual 1000)
Booked yesterday evening for total price of GBP 52.00 (26 pounds each way plus taxes)
Two check-in desks are allocated to Germanwings at Stansted Airport. I arrived at 0645, where there were some old grandmothers checking-in at the desk on the left. Other than this, the other desk was free, so I walked up and handed over my confirmation printout and passport. The lady asked her collegue to check the manifest, as she couldn't retrieve my booking. 'Oh-oh, here we go again', I thought. Perhaps I had made a mistake with my name or the dates? I was a bit nervous, but fairly confident the problem would soon be resolved.
It was. Because I had booked my flight only around 9 hours previously, and the passenger manifest was apparently printed out before this (they must have a cut-off time), my name wasn't on the list; but of course, after phoning the airline office (don't know where, she said 'Hi, this is Germanwings at Stansted', to the person on the other line), she was happy to check me in. Phew!! I don't like these surprises!
Gw is handled by Aviance at STN. The staff are fine, and efficient. GW has a free-seating policy, similar to other low-cost airlines I've flown.
Boarding was at Gate 38, at the far end of one of STN's piers. The weather was nice and sunny. It is interesting to see all the Ryanair planes in hybrid colours. Some aircraft still had the basic Continental colours of grey and white, one even had the CO 'globe' on the tail. Other aircraft in semi-buzz colours still, and there is even the odd plane in full 'go' colours. Other aircraft included a KLM F50, easyjet, Air Berlin (not the -800), and on the cargo side, a 747 of AFX and a Qatar A300.
Boarding started at 0730. This flight was only, I estimate, about 1/3 full. I was the first to board, so I grabbed the first row on the right; I pretended I was in Business class.
I personally saw two male crew and a lady, but there might have been more than just the 3. The crew were nice, said hi, helped out people with luggage, etc. etc. the usual stuff you would expect from a reasonably good airline.
I love the Airbus, and this is the reason I chose my flight today with GW. I could have flown to Hahn with Ryanair or to Cologne just the same, with HLX, but both operators use Boeing 737s which I have flown once too often (low-cost air travel now makes me fussy and spoilt....)
The seats on GW are quite nice - grey leather with red edges. The Airbus cabin feels more spacious than that of the 737. I don´t know the technicalities, it´s just a perception.
Within 15 minutes we were all aboard, but had to wait for our allocated 0800 slot. I forgot to mention that Stansted was unusually quiet this morning - perhaps because the first wave of flights has already left by 0630.
The livery on GW is quite nice too - metallic silver with yellow horizontal stabilisers and winglets.
We pushed-back at 0800 (German precision, it never surprises me), and made a short taxy to runway 23. The Captain made a brief welcome announcement - his English would have been ok if he hadn´t spoken at 100 miles per hour, so I actually only discerned a view words such as '33,000 ft' and 'Cologne-Bonn' !
The takeoff was quite nice, not too weak, not too powerful. The climb out over Essex county in the early morning sun was very nice indeed. I noticed the Ryanair 737 that had taken off ahead of us, turn right, and fly down parallel to us. We made a left turn and soon levelled off for a while; London came up on our right about 7 minutes later; the skies looked a little crowded, I counted quite a few aircraft in our vicinity, and further to the west, circling over downtown London. Nearer the west coast, and flying now towards Holland, we began to climb up again.
The first row on this Airbus was nice; I had two windows and when you look out of both at the same time, you can almost see yourself going up and up - really nice.
We levelled off at 33,000ft and the crew came round to do the drink and snack service, which I wasn't interested in. The person next to me was in an aisle seat, so the middle seat was free. I passed the time watching the window and reading a magazine (the new Airways is still not out in England!!)
Well, the flight was eventually coming to a close, and we began to descend quite rapidly over the Rhine-Ruhr. This area is very built up, and there are many large factories which you pass by as you fly down towards Cologne. We approached from the north-west, and I watched the flaps emerge. The landing in Cologne was very smooth, but the nose came down a bit too fast, so that spoiled it.
As we approached the threshold, I saw a Deutsche BA 737 holding short, some HLX 737s, GW Airbus aircraft, DHL and UPS aircraft, and a Crossair Saab 2000.
The flight was very enjoyable, and great value. Probably the cheapest ticket at such short notice (less than 12 hours). I like the Airbus, I like the leather seats, the livery, the flight was good, all very punctual. As you leave the aircraft, the crew is distributing chocolates for our eating pleasure, very useful as well as generous.
I definitely recommend this airline if you can get a cheap seat. For me personally, it was a fresh break from just flying on British (or Irish) cheap airlines. By the way, I notice that some of the food trolleys belong to Lufthansa.
Looking forward to my flight back to London tonight, maybe I can get an A319 this time, that plane is still hiding from me.

Mass Effect 3 Asks: Who's Your Shepard? A Renegade Responds
(XBOX 360, PS3, PC, Wii U)
A reflection on the incoming end of a Shepard who has spent three games punching, snarling, and shooting his way through the Mass Effect series.
But what sort of Shepard am I playing for the conclusion to this crazy grand sci-fi saga? That ranger eventually retired to a quiet life in his cabin surrounded by wolves, rabbits, and other fauna. That was the last time I followed the "good" path in an RPG. Since then, I've generally played evil -- I was the Devil in Fallout 3; and I grew horns and featured sickly skin in Fable 2. I reserved Jennifer Hale's excellent acting for a proper heroic Paragon female Shepard, and in line with my "I play asshole fellows" mentality, I created a male Shepard. The result: while Jeremy played Yukiko Shepard with a healthy amount of meticulous thinking, Hobo Shepard (I also don't take character names seriously) played fast and loose. For nearly every red dialog choice or Renegade interrupt, I promptly chose that option -- with exceptions being in rare times where I personally didn't want the result (more on that in a bit). Since Jeremy and I both played as Infiltrators, our general styles showed two sides of the sniper Shepard space coin.
A reason that I often play "evil" whenever a game features a morality or karma system is that I then treat it as a sort of id-driven experience. Everything that has been restrained, or ruled against by law, super-ego, or common sense now gets a chance to be indulged. Mouthy reporter twisting my words? I answer with a punch to the stomach. Space terrorist threatening to shoot a hostage if I don't comply with some demand? I shoot the hostage myself. Any time I'm in a sandbox environment or a game with a morality system, I approach it with the same mentality as Michael Douglas' character in Falling Down. My Mass Effect experience was less Gene Roddenberry Star Trek a la Jeremy, and more 24: Extreme Edition In Space.
But as noted earlier, I didn't blindly do Renegade for everything. The Renegade option for dealing with Wrex on Virmire in Mass Effect called for having one of your party members pull the trigger on him (which is followed by perhaps the most naked example of hate and disgust that I've seen in a video game character to date) -- except I liked having a wisecracking dinosaur who wields a shotgun, so I opted to talk him down instead. A Renegade Shepard wouldn't traditionally bother with loyalty or side missions -- citing the belief that the central mission is what's important and helping others on little tasks not directly related to said mission would probably be something a Renegade skips while dutiful Paragons would help retrieve every space cat from each space tree. So I'm 90-percent Renegade, with that remaining 10 percent allotted for decisions like "keep Wrex in my party" or "everyone survives the suicide mission."

He's making a list, checking it twicePosted: Jan 19, 2012 12:00AM PST by wiseman4380
Renegade is lame most of the time. As Jeremy (at least i think it was him...im too lazy to check) previously mentioned, Renegade is less about being "evil", and more about being a big space-jerk. I find myself disliking ME's morality system due to the fact it encourages you to say what a preset Paragon or Renegade should say, rather than what you actually want to say. Sure, you're free to pick whatever option you want, regardless of your morality alignment, but you get locked out of options if you stray too far from either end of the spectrum. Its like a space Santa is constantly watching your every move....
I shot the Geth...but I did not shoot the Krogan.Posted: Jan 19, 2012 12:00AM PST by therealpidge05
Thanks for that insight Thierry. I like to play two playthroughs. My first is a male Sheppard who is straight laced and plays by the rules, while my second playthrough is a fem-Shep who's a bitch. She doesn't care what happens as long as she can get something done.
While playing the second time, I also chose Renegade 90% of the time, but when I got to Wrex...I talked him down. I've been a little conflicted about that decision, seeing as how it went against everything "Space Bitch" Shep would have done. I thought about playing through that part again for a 100% Renegade playthrough, but after reading your article has made me feel a bit better about my decision now. Thanks! (^v^)b
Series endingPosted: Jan 19, 2012 12:00AM PST by frnknstn
Great article for a great series, but I think you are overthinking the series ending debate. I believe that the third game's conclusion will be dictated by the most powerful force in the universe: What ending will allow them to sell the most DLC?
I'm getting tired of the FemShep cultPosted: Jan 18, 2012 12:00AM PST by DudeL
I'm getting tired of reading about how amazing and better Jennifer Hale is as Sheperd and how Mark Meer is stupid and dumb and lame. I played through with a male and a female character and I enjoyed both perfomances as they had their own nuances that made them appealing. Am I the only one who thinks that Sheperd is great because he/she is the savior of the galaxy and not because if Sheperd has a dong or boobies?
As for Scooter's notorious evil streak in video games, while I admit it can be really fun to be a giant evil dick in video games I play games like Mass Effect with the intention of crafting the best story. For me the novelty of knocking out slandorous reporters wares off after a while and it just becomes to silly for me to accept such outburst of evulz as logical in the kind of story I want to tell with my character. Yes having darker options is good but to play a complete monster through the entirety of the game would just make me think "Why would my party members and allies even put up with me if I'm such an asshole?"
AgreedPosted: Jan 18, 2012 12:00AM PST by ShadowTheSecond
I can respect it if people really think Jennifer Hale did that much better of a voice job--but I personally think Mark Meer did an excellent job as well. I'm a guy, and I'll play as a guy if given a choice.

Humans like achievement and to excel in tasks relevant to them. This paper provides controlled experimental evidence that striving for pleasures of skill can have negative moral consequences and causally reduce moral values. In the study, subjects perform an IQ-test. They know that each correctly solved question not only increases test performance but also the likelihood of moral transgression. In terms of self-image, this creates a trade-off between signaling excellence and immoral disposition. We contrast performance in the IQ-test to test scores in an otherwise identical test, which is, however, framed as a simple questionnaire with arguably lower self-relevance. We find that subjects perform significantly better in the IQ-test condition, and thus become more willing to support morally problematic consequences. Willingness to reduce test performance in order to behave more morally is significantly less pronounced in the IQ versus the more neutral context. The findings provide controlled and causal evidence that the desire to succeed in a challenging, self-relevant task has the potential to seduce subjects into immoral behaviors and to significantly decrease values attached to moral outcomes. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Games played through agents in the laboratory: A test of Prat & Rustichini's model http://hdl.handle.net/10419/130710 Title: Games played through agents in the laboratory: A test of Prat & Rustichini's model Authors: Ensthaler, Ludwig; Huck, Steffen; Leutgeb, Johannes Abstract: From the regulation of sports to lawmaking in parliament, in many situations one group of people ("agents") makes decisions that affect payoffs of others ("principals") who are inactive. As the principals have a stake in the agents' decisions they face an incentive to offer payments in order to sway their decisions. Prat and Rustichini (2003) characterize pure-strategy equilibria of such Games Played Through Agents, in which principals commit to action-contingent transfers to agents. Specifically, they predict the equilibrium outcome in pure strategies to be efficient under some conditions. With field data hard to come by, we test the theory in a series of experimental treatments with human principals and computerized agents. The theory explains the data remarkably well. Subjects predominantly offer payments that implement efficient outcomes. In some treatments offers fall short of equilibrium predictions though. These minor deviations from equilibrium behavior are explored in a quantal response equilibrium framework. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Online fundraising, self-deception, and the long-term impact of ask avoidance http://hdl.handle.net/10419/130712 Title: Online fundraising, self-deception, and the long-term impact of ask avoidance Authors: Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen Abstract: We study an online fundraising campaign run on an opera ticket booking plat-form. After establishing a baseline, a first change doubled the donation grid. A second change altered the navigation of the website rendering the act of declining to donate more salient. The contribution of our paper is fourfold. First, we add to the literature on defaults by showing how donation grids can have dramatic im-pacts on giving. Second, we demonstrate that small, apparently superficial chang-es in the design of a campaign can have unexpectedly large consequences (offset-ting the effects of changes in the choice architecture). Third, we provide the first field evidence for the role of self-image in charitable giving. Finally, we provide stark evidence on adverse long-run effects of fundraising campaigns for ticket selling entities. "Avoiding the ask," non-frequent customers buy fewer tickets in the following opera season. Ticket sales per person fall by €16-32, while average charitable income from the same group during the campaign is just €0.26. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z A note on charitable giving by corporates and aristocrats: Evidence from a field experiment http://hdl.handle.net/10419/130711 Title: A note on charitable giving by corporates and aristocrats: Evidence from a field experiment Authors: Bassi, Vittorio; Huck, Steffen; Rasul, Imran Abstract: Multiple sources of funding are becoming increasingly important for charitable organizations. Donations from corporate donors for example account for 25-35% of charitable income for the largest US charities, across charitable sectors. This note presents some tentative first evidence from a natural field experiment to shed light on how different types of potential donors: individuals, corporates and aristocratically titled individuals, respond to the same fundraising drive. Each donor type was randomly assigned to treatments varying in two dimensions: (i) whether information was conveyed about the existence of an anonymous lead donor; (ii) how individual donations would be matched by the anonymous lead donor. We find that aristocrats are significantly more likely to respond and that corporates give significantly more than individuals. Treatment effects moreover suggest that (proportional) matching is to be avoided for corporate donors. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z

Ryan Raburn signed a two-year, $4.85 million contract extension with a club option for 2016, the Indians announced on Wednesday.
Although Joe would disagree with me, this was an extension that needed to get done before Raburn tested the free agent waters this offseason. In a season of 162+ games, having productive offensive players low in the depth chart is one of the characteristics of having a deep team. Ryan Raburn will fit that role for the next few seasons.
For many years with the Tigers, Raburn would be named a starting outfielder at the beginning of the season, struggle at the plate, get sent down or benched for a another player who was well below replacement level. Raburn would then get another chance and go on a hot streak. Part of his problem was that he was not a good defender anywhere.
Raburn did have flashes with the bat, though. He put up a .291/.359/.533 (129 wRC+) line in 2009, including 16 home runs in just 291 plate appearances. He got off to a rough start in 2010, but finished the year strong, with an overall .280/.340/.474 (120 wRC+) performance over 418 plate appearance.
At that point, Raburn was eligible for arbitration, but was also going into his age-30 season, and the Tigers bought out a couple of years of his contract for league average money. Raburn's offense suffered, though. His 93 wRC+ in 2011 was not bad for part-time bench player, but the problem was that that only place he could play acceptable defense was on the outfield corners, despite the Tiger's internal scouting reports. Things really went downhill for Raburn in 2012. In prior seasons, his decent power had made up for his bad plate discipline, but in 2012 his power disappeared, and combined with his BABIP streaking down, he managed 28 wRC+ (.171/.226/.254). Understandably, the Tigers let Raburn go.
It was not clear that Raburn would even get a major league deal, but the Indians, being a low-revenue team that needs to take big calculated risks, did give him one. They have been smart thus far, using Raburn as mostly a corner outfielder. He has not been strictly platooned, but he almost half of his plate appearances have been against southpaws, which is a good proportion for a right-handed hitter, given that their splits regress more heavily to average. (Raburn has actually been good against righties this year, but that is probably a fair bit of random variation, too, so Terry Francona is right to try not to play him too much against them.) Raburn's massive 168 wRC+ (.283/.377/.584) thus far this season does not have the typical BABIP hot streak as its main foundation — .321 is not that high. Raburn has improved is walk rate considerably (11.6 percent versus 7.1 percent career) and, more significantly, hit for massive power (.301 ISO). Obviously, while Raburn may have made adjustments, the organization and fans cannot expect him to continue at that pace for the remainder of his contract.
No one could have seen this coming from Raburn, but whatever luck is involved, the Indians deserve credit for being willing to go out on a bit of limb (Raburn is making more than the minimum) for a corner outfielder in his thirties coming off of two bad seasons. Both he and they have been rewarded; Raburn at the age of 32 and the team, fighting for its first playoff birth since 2007.

ST is committed to respecting worker rights and continuously improving labor conditions throughout its operations.
ST values its Human Resources and is committed to its employees' rights and labor conditions as a basic HR value. ST understands it as well as a primary contributor to ST business success and development. Our ongoing commitment to protecting labor and human rights is expressed in: our Code of Conduct; through our continued support of the UN Global Compact principles, which we have been a signatory of since 2000; and also through our eight year membership of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC).
The electronics industry is facing increased scrutiny by civil society organizations, customers, investors and the media over working conditions in its supply chain. In recent years, a number of key international standards and guidance documents have been published to help manage labor and human rights responsibly e.g. the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and ISO 26000. ST constantly reinforces policies and practices to respond to the increasing expectations of its stakeholders.
Philippe Brun, Corporate Human Resources Vice President
"ST strives to be an employer of choice by fostering a workplace environment that encourages people to reach their potential. Ensuring that our employees are treated with respect and dignity is a fundamental principle of how we operate and we closely support and monitor our sites and departments to ensure we meet our responsibilities in this area."
Labor and human rights management
For almost 15 years, ST has progressively managed labor and human rights through three key standards:
We adopt two main strategic approaches to managing our labor and human rights programs:
Monitoring our stakeholders' expectations and key industry concerns
We ensure our internal processes and practices are aligned with external stakeholders' expectations, international guidelines and diverse legislation through:
- Meeting customer requirements - Over the past five years, our customers have significantly increased their focus on managing supply chain labor and human rights issues and require us to comply with and be monitored against their standards.
- Membership of the EICC - The EICC's objective is to create a common industry approach to sustainability by providing tools and methods to help members manage specific labor and human rights issues and implement new legislation. ST is applying the EICC model across all of its sites and throughout its supply chain. For more information on how we do this, please go to Management of Sustainability in our Supply chain.
- Involvement in Entreprises pour les Droits de l'Homme (EDH) - EDH is a group of eight multi-national companies, created in 2005 to find practical ways of applying the aspirations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights within a business context, and to inspire other companies to do the same. Within this group ST has contributed to the development of HR management improvement tools and employee awareness training related to labor and human rights.
Adopting a risk-based approach to improvement
We systematically identify major risks relating to labor rights and working conditions in our operations and activities through the use of risk-assessment and audit tools. These are deployed according to the potential risks of each operational entity.
- All sites and departments - Following HR Policy updates, all sites and departments are requested to perform a gap analysis against our HR Policy and define action plans. ST's Corporate HR department closely monitors these assessments.
- Manufacturing sites - ST deploys phases 2 and 3 of the EICC Engagement Model, specifically designed for manufacturing sites:
- Phase 2 - all manufacturing sites update their Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) annually. This detailed evaluation addresses four key areas of social responsibility risk, labor, health and safety, environment and ethical conduct. Sites are requested to define specific actions to improve their practices based on the results of their SAQ.
- Phase 3 - high risk manufacturing sites are prioritized and use a Validated Audit Process (VAP) which is usually deployed by a third party. Sites define action plans following an audit. Their progress against this plan is also validated by a third party. ST then manages a road map to ensure these sites are monitored for continuous improvement.
We adopt a transparent approach to sharing sites' SAQ and VAP reports with customers when requested, and annually report priority, major and minor non-conformances resulting from EICC audits.
ST analyzes the results of labor assessments and audits at both corporate and local levels so that we can design effective programs which, as well as ensuring compliance with ST Policies, also take in to account customers' standards, codes of conduct and policies.
Our corporate level priorities during recent years have focused on addressing the following issues:
- Sanitary, food and housing - ST's Workers' Dormitory Specification defines the housing standards for the maintenance and management of dormitory facilities. Detailed rules relating to amenities, health, safety, security and management guarantee that residences and dormitories are comfortable and pleasant, and that living areas are designed and maintained to ensure an acceptable degree of privacy.
- Working hours - an internal tool has been developed to control overtime, in order for sites to reach full compliance with the EICC standard maximum of 60 hours per week.
- Training and awareness – through training, we aim to ensure that every employee has the appropriate level of awareness and knowledge to respect and promote labor and human rights wherever they operate.
ST sites are also addressing labor issues at a local level:
- Forced labor - local practices and legislation for the hiring or migrant labor has led to passport retention and payment of agency fees becoming commonly accepted practices in several countries including China, Malaysia and Singapore. We are aware of the fact that we operate in countries that may present a potential risk. ST sites have conducted relevant analysis and continuously work on reinforcing their practices and policies.
- Fair recruitment practices for foreign workers - ST Ang Mo Kio (Singapore) has defined and implemented a global due diligence process for employing foreign workers. Recruitment agencies are briefed and trained on ST's standards and expectations, and their practices are then monitored. This process involves providing candidates with detailed information in their local language and before leaving their home country. This covers terms of employment, employees' roles and responsibilities, working conditions and their employment rights. New employees then receive a newcomer's package and training, and are asked for feedback on their recruitment agency's practices.

Oakland Raiders acquire Carson Palmer
Mike Florio is reporting that Carson Palmer has been traded by the Cincinnati Bengals to the Oakland Raiders. Jay Glazer broke the story and the compensation appears to be a first-round pick in 2012 and a conditional pick in 2013 which is a second-rounder that could become a first-rounder.
This deal can be a huge win for both teams. The Bengals get two high draft picks for a player who basically told them to go to hell. The Raiders all of a sudden have a front-line quarterback to pair with their powerful running game. They are mortgaging the future, but they must see real potential to get to the playoffs and compete this season. Ironically, this is a the type of deal All Davis would have made.
Palmer has been an excellent quarterback for years, but his skills seem to have slipped a bit. That said, he has a big arm, and he can rejuvenate his career on a team with a running game.
As for the Bengals, everyone left them for dead at the beginning of the season because they had a rookie quarterback, but the Bengals have a solid defense and Dalton looks pretty good so far. Now they have more picks to build for the future.

Sunrise at Cape Canaveral
The Caroline Marks Surf Camp presented by Ron Jon Surf Shop and Roxy was held on Saturday, September 10th at Shepard Park in Cocoa Beach, FL. Female surfers between the ages of 8 and 15 had fun taking surf lessons from Ron Jon Surf School instructors and 14-year-old Caroline Marks, a 17 time National Champion! Special guests included professional surfers from the Ron Jon and Roxy surf teams.
When the girls weren't surfing, they learned about fitness and nutrition and surfboard design with Chemistry, plus they cooled down with some arts and crafts. After a pizza party, the girls watched Caroline surf in an expression session. At the end of the day, several girls received awards for categories like Best Style.
Based on the amount of smiles on all the girls' faces, it looks like everyone had a wonderful day. Thanks to all of the Ron Jon Surf School instructors, Caroline Marks, Roxy, Grom Social and Chemistry for helping make this event a success! Thanks to all the amazing girls and their parents for attending the camp! We look forward to seeing everyone in the water!

It's taken me a while, but I am slowly making up for lost time in regard to technology. I was last in line to get a cell phone — by choice. I didn't want to be that person walking around the grocery store, saying things like, "Hi honey, cereal is on sale, two for $4; should we get two bran or one bran and one shredded wheat?" But, low and behold, I made just such a call last week. Now I am hands-free capable in my car after receiving a Blue-Tooth kit (thanks for keeping me safe Mom!).
So I made my first speaker-phone call on my way home. My husband answered ... and so did Ollie with a conure screech and then Gracie with his bewildered cockatiel half whistle. By now the usual birds-competing-with-the-phone-routine was in full swing. I should mention that I was stopped at the longest stoplight in all of Los Angeles, windows down. I could feel the stare of the person in the car next to me; their radio got conspicuously lower and lower as my birds got consistently louder and louder. After reading Nikki Moustaki's article on keeping in touch over the phone and web (page 20), I will perhaps put my long commute to good use by conference calling with the flock ... and in doing so redefining the "contact call."

Madison, WI (November 22, 2013) – Last night, the Wisconsin Supreme Court issued a ruling that allows teachers across the state to vote to determine whether union officials can continue to claim to represent those teachers in their respective workplaces.
The ruling strikes down a Dane County Circuit Court judge's order that prohibited the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission (WERC) from conducting secret-ballot recertification elections that are guaranteed under Wisconsin Act 10.
