RUTHERFORD, N.J. — A 16-year-old girl suffered serious head trauma on Wednesday after falling from the back of her moving school bus, according to a story on northjersey.com.
Lt. John Russo of the Rutherford Police Department told the news source that the bus was carrying the girl and three other students who attend a school for children with special needs. The driver and an aide were also on board.
Officials said the girl opened an emergency hatch at the back of the bus, and they believe she either fell or jumped. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Pressing issues keep NHL offseason busy
Usually at this time of the summer, general managers have the "gone fishing" sign posted.
Sponsored Links
But this has been a strange offseason because we are headed toward Aug. 1 and many GMs are still trolling for players or dealing with matters that will affect their team's competitiveness.
Here are eight unresolved issues that could change the balance of power:
1. Shane Doan's recruitment: Doan, 35, has made it clear he would prefer to stay in Phoenix, provided he can be convinced Greg Jamison's attempt to buy the Coyotes is on solid ground. But there's enough interest in Doan that it seems plausible some team will offer him a four-year deal with a big number attached. Imagine how Doan could freshen up the Detroit Red Wings' lineup, or the Pittsburgh Penguins', Nashville Predators' or Philadelphia Flyers', etc.
2. Roberto Luongo hasn't been traded: The Florida Panthers are the best fit for the Vancouver Canucks goalie, but GM Dale Tallon won't give up prized prospect Nick Bjugstad to land him. The Panthers are as excited about his potential as they are about Jonathan Huberdeau. Bjugstad is playing at the University of Minnesota and seems ready to play in the NHL. Luongo was popular when he played in Florida before, plus he could be the lift the team needs to offset big moves by the Carolina Hurricanes and Tampa Bay Lightning. Canucks GM Mike Gillis is acting as if he is willing to go into the season with Luongo on his roster. But that would clearly be an uncomfortable situation with Cory Schneider seemingly set to be No. 1. Plus, no GM wants a $5.333 million cap hit as his backup goalie. Keep in mind that the Toronto Maple Leafs still are interested in upgrading their goaltending.
3. Bobby Ryan still could be traded: The Anaheim Ducks would deal him only if they are wowed by an offer. But that could happen. The Flyers presumably would like to answer the Rangers' acquisition of Rick Nash. Ryan has averaged 33 goals a season for the past four seasons and he's 25. He could score another 300-plus goals before he retires.
4. Lubomir Visnovsky has filed a grievance: The defenseman believes the Ducks didn't have the right to trade him to the New York Islanders. He had a partial no-trade clause, which he waived in 2009 so he could be moved from the Edmonton Oilers to Anaheim. An arbitrator will have to decide whether Visnovsky had permanently surrendered his no-trade when he agreed to the 2009 deal. He would be a nice fit for an Islanders team that needs to make the playoffs. Plus, the Islanders need his $5.6 million cap hit to help them get to the salary cap floor.
5. Useful players still available: In addition to Doan, several intriguing free agents remain, including Jason Arnott, Carlo Colaiacovo, Pavel Kubina, Petr Sykora, Brett Clark, Andrei Kostitsyn, etc.
6. Coyotes ownership isn't finalized: In addition to holding up Doan's decision, the situation is making it difficult for general manager Don Maloney to know what to do improve his team. If the deal is finalized, he could be/should be in a better financial situation to make moves.
7. The 2013 free agent class might feel pressure to sign now: Nobody knows what the new collective bargaining agreement will look like. Will there be restrictions on contract lengths? Will there be a new way to calculate a salary cap hit? There could be changes that prevent athletes from landing the kind of deal that Shea Weber and Sidney Crosby received this summer. If you are Anaheim's Corey Perry, you have to think about this.
8. Predators still looking for defenseman: Although Nashville coach Barry Trotz likes the potential of Roman Josi to eventually fill Ryan Suter's skates, GM David Poile is pondering his options in the trade market. Because the Flames seem open to change, Jay Bouwmeester's name has popped up as a possibility for Nashville. But he has a no-trade clause, and he seemed intent on playing in Calgary the last time he controlled his future. Would Bouwmeester change his address to play for a better team? The Predators won't know unless they ask. They have the assets to offer the Flames an attractive package.
9. Red Wings pondering a defensive move: The Red Wings have decided they want to give Brendan Smith and Jakub Kindl a chance to play, and they have decided they won't overpay just to add a body. But the Red Wings have been too competitive for too long for them not to look at their trade options to add a veteran defenseman.
10. Feels like Toronto will make another move: GM Brian Burke is always aggressive, and the James van Riemsdyk deal might not be enough. It seems like Burke could end up with another goalie or more size and grit.

My start in Ham Radio came at the age of 15. Licensed since 1973 when I got callsign SP8GTS as a Novice.
I upgraded to general class in 1975.
My first piece of equipment I used homebrew transmitter and a 10RT military receiver. Not much of a station, but I had lot of fun on CW 3,5MHz.
Graduated from Military High School in 1981 worked as a signal officer in Zary(South-West part of Poland), where I moved. There as SP3GTS over the years enjoyed with DX-ing and contesting. For this years I belong to several amateur radio clubs, including SP8KAF, SP5PSL and SP3KFH.
Two times, in 2004/5 and 2007 I took opportunity to work from Iraq with callsign YI9GT.
I am now retired. In 2009 I moved to a new QTH Biedrzychowice near Zary, where I'm able to install antennas.
My shack is a combination of commercial and homebrew equipment: IC-765, SB-220 with modifications, HM HF AMP 500W and antennas: 3EL ECO Yagi, HM vertical 160/80m, INV L, Beverages N/W and N/E. The newest RX antenna is a 4-square K9AY array. Current project is new Beverage antenna system.
I have plans to put up a 4SQ 80m array.
I currently operate 160/80m mostly trying to exercise my antennas and operating skills working DX Top Bands and contests.
I'm fortunate that my wife Zofia supports my activities.
Hope to see you all on the bands, especially during contests.

A virtual Axford to appear at Milwaukee Film Festival
It isn't quite a holographic Tupac, but the Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Film Festival have found a way for former Brewer - now St. Louis Cardinal - pitcher John Axford to appear at this year's festival.
Axford was a sponsor of this year's festival to the tune of $25,000. His donation went toward support of the Cream City Cinema program for local films and filmmakers and allowed the filmmaker in residence cash prize to double to $5,000. »Read Full Blog Post
First Stage's 'Best Christmas Pageant Ever' scores hit
Scrooge may hog the theatrical limelight during the holiday season, but he's hardly the only one with a story of improbable redemption. Just ask the six troublemaking Herdman kids, who are doing some attention-grabbing of their own in First Stage Children's Theater's eighth production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever."
Early in the Barbara Robinson novel that inspired this play, the narrating Beth Bradley tells us that she and her classmates figured the Herdman clan — poor, dirty and rough — "were headed straight for hell." Sure enough, director Jeff Schaetzke opens the show by bringing the Herdmans onstage from below, surrounded by a swirl of smoke. »Read Full Article(2)

If you want your startup to succeed, Silicon Valley is the place to be, right? Not necessarily…

Women 2.0 is excited to announce that Y Combinator ambassador Alexis Ohanian will be joining the judging panel at PITCH NYC 2012 Conference & Competition on November 14, 2012.

How's this for an opening line: "I work for a large multinational tech company, I regularly hire woman for 65% to 75% of what males make. I am sick of it, here is why it happens, and how you can avoid it."
The hot topic on Reddit this week:
Today I finished interviewing my third new hire this month, two of which are women. They both are getting paid substantially less than the man I hired earlier this month, and to be honest I am getting tired of that. I don't set the wages, I just handle negotiations

Hero lollipop lady, 50, tried to save children with her pole after driver 'suffered coughing fit' and lost control at crossing outside school
- A black Audi cabriolet collided with pedestrians outside Rhoose Primary School, in the Vale of Glamorgan, at around 8.50am this morning
- Witnesses saw car 'in mid-air' after it accelerated into a bollard
- Nine casualties including four with 'significant injuries', police say
- Children injured are between five and ten-years-old
- One is a nine-year-old girl who is being treated in intensive care
- Three of the four adults injured are women
- Lollipop lady Karin Williams, 50, was left trapped underneath the car
- Driver Bob Bell, 61, had dropped granddaughter at school just before crash
- 'He told police he had a coughing fit at the wheel and hit the accelerator instead of the brake', said local councillor Jeff James
- South Wales police say incident is not being treated as a deliberate act
A lollipop lady was left trapped under a car after she tried to use her pole to protect schoolchildren from being run over after its driver lost control during a coughing fit.
Hero Karin Williams suffered two broken kneecaps, a shoulder injury and a head wound according to relatives as witnesses said the out-of-control Audi overturned after mounting a speed hump when the coughing driver stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake.
Ms Williams stood in front of the car's path in a bid to protect children making their way to school in Cardiff yesterday morning.
But the brave 50-year-old was hit along with five children and three adults.
Horrific: Witnesses saw the black Audi accelerate into the lollipop lady and a group of children walking to Rhoose Primary School at around 8.50am
'Very serious': Police said there were 'multiple casualties' as a result of the accident including adults and children
Courage: Karin's lollipop sits close to the crash site in the aftermath of the incident
Injured: Lollipop lady Karin Williams was said to have been left trapped beneath the Audi following the crash
A young girl who was one of those injured in the incident was last night in intensive care.
The driver of the Audi 80 – named locally as Bob Bell,
61 – and a female passenger, were among taken to hospital after the
crash in the village of Rhoose in the Vale of Glamorgan.
None had life-threatening injuries, police said.
Mr Bell's black Audi was seen spinning in 'mid-air' before it careered into the group outside Rhws Primary School in the centre of the village, 15 miles outside Cardiff, at the start of the school day.
Witnesses described seeing 50-year-old Mrs Williams trapped under the vehicle with blood pouring from her head after it came to a rest on the pavement.
A 39-year-old nurse who found Ms Williams trapped under the vehicle told The Sun: 'Karin had tried to save the kids by standing in the way of the car holding her pole out sideways to block it.
'I went over and she was conscious and could recognise me but had blood all over her face.
'She said, "I'm scared, I'm really scared. Please tell me it wasn't my fault."'
Shelly Morgan-Stone, 33, was taking
her son Archie, seven, to the school when she saw the car 'flying
through the air'.
She added: 'All I heard was a horrific screaming followed by the crash of metal and the sound of breaking glass and people running towards the scene.
'One mother was on the floor on her knees, leaning over her child – she was wailing.
'It was horrible, the screaming especially, I will never forget the sound of the mothers screaming.'
Another witness described seeing
'children lying injured in the road', adding: 'The lollipop lady was
trapped – all I could see was her jacket from under the car.'
The injured were taken to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff and the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend.
Ian Morris, from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, said the nine-year-old girl was in a paediatric intensive care unit.
Mrs Williams, who is German, met her husband Lyndon when he was in the Army and stationed in her homeland.
Safety: The crash happened at the pedestrian crossing by Rhoose Primary School where the speed limit is just 20mph
Investigation: South Wales police say the 61-year-old male driver is helping with their inquiries - but it is not thought the accident was a deliberate act
Wreckage: The overturned Audi was take away on a recovery truck as police continue to investigate the crash
The couple have a daughter, Svenja, 22, a shop worker, and the trio live
in a flat just yards from the school.
Mr Williams is an ambulance driver, based at nearby Barry Ambulance Station, whose role involves taking elderly patients to and from hospital.
Earlier this year, Mrs Williams was recognised in the 'Top of the Lollipops' road safety awards organised by the Vale of Glamorgan Council.
Karin Williams (left) was injured in the crash and (right) emotional parents and bystanders were gathering outside the school as the reality of the accident set in
Neighbour Tommy Nettleship, 93,
described her as a 'lifesaver' who visited him up to three times a day
to keep him company and care for him.
He added: 'Karin has virtually adopted me as her father.
'She is a wonderful woman. She loves being a lollipop lady and is very dedicated.'
It is believed Mrs Williams knew Mr Bell, whose granddaughter lives with him and his wife in the village, which borders Cardiff Airport. A woman believed to be Mrs Bell refused to comment at the couple's home last night.
Police said no other vehicles were involved in the 8.50am incident.
The school remained open yesterday, with an education psychologist sent in to work with pupils.
Chief Superintendent Joe Ruddy, of South Wales Police, said investigators would be examining the speed of the vehicle 'among other circumstances', and urged witnesses to contact the force.

Hayate's First PV. Also Proved That It Will Not Follow Accurately The Manga.

The series will tell a new story that is original to the anime and not directly based on existing material from Kenjirou Hata's original manga. However, Hata personally created the story concepts for the new anime.
My Thoughts?
-Bad Animation.
-Bad Storyline.
-Athena Is Left Out.

...Hata personally created the story concepts for the new anime.
As for what I think on the preview, I believe they are following Hata's manga designs way too close. I was never a fan of the manga's designs as they were too skinny and basically made every single one of them look strange. Hayate suffers the most from the shift on design since the Manga's Hayate is extremely girly.
But again, I sure hope this "change in concept" merely means Hata will just make a story independent on what fans "want" from him and rather what he intends. Hayate no Gotoku basically lost it's way once he started the fan pandering.

"Also Proved That It Will Not Follow Accurately The Manga"
Are you sure about that?
I couldn't grasp anything just by watching that preview, honestly.
Unless it was written as text, since I can't read Japanese. Even so, I'm not THAT sure if it will be 100% original. I wrote a post on another thread mentioning how the Movie actually is consistent with the manga plot, so I can't see why they would steer off so much here...
Yeah. Probably it will be heavily adapted, but... I doubt they will go that far.

Why is Hayate so bishounen?
Regardless, will watch as a fan. Doesn't matter if it doesn't follow the manga or not, doesn't mean it's automatically bad.

JPblueser said:I can see what you mean, still that "is" the definition of a remake, to make anew. They are rebooting the series from the start with a changed script. Even if they keep several details the same, it won't ever be a true loyal adaptation of the manga. Then again, it never has been a loyal adaptation to begin with. Synergy SP basically did whatever they wanted in the first season. Only JC STAFF actually kept loyal to the manga (only to get the shaft in favor of Manglobe).
Leon-Gun said:

Yeah. I'm aware of all of the "newly written" part and etc. I'm not expecting an accurate adaptation at all. Actually, I'm prepared for anything that might happen.
But the "remake" idea is hard to believe. It sounds very unlikely to me.
In my book, a "new story" doesn't necessarily mean a "remake". I've never seen that word stated clearly anywhere.
Perhaps I expressed myself a little badly up there. What I was trying to say is that the PV didn't give any hints about the plot. At least not for me.
My bad. I'm a bit tired right now - haha

Looks like shit and will probably be shit what a waste should have made a season3 not a 26 episode piece of shit.
Now that's a constructive criticism if I ever heard one. Guess what. the author actively worked on this anime, so it's safe to assume it's going to be mostly the way he wants it to be. And guess what - it's him who's the author, so he gets to decide. And guess what - if you don't like it, give up on it, you won't be missed. Look elsewhere, there's a lot of other anime you can enjoy in this vast world.

eworm said:Well let's hope. I really could never get over how much Hata involved Hinagiku as a whole. Especially after he admitted during one of his earlier volumes that Hinagiku wasn't even originally gonna be part of HnG. She was just a character he had planned for an earlier manga he never did.

Nah, his only mistake of this sort is Hinagiku. If he truly was doing whatever fans wanted, the most recent storyline would've already ended months ago. And yet he remembers what he wants to create and that's a comedy-first series. I think it's going to be alright.

South Africa beats New Zealand by 8 wickets in opening T20
By AP - DURBAN
Published: 22nd December 2012 10:16 AM
Last Updated: 22nd December 2012 11:16 AM
An experimental South Africa team romped to an eight-wicket win over New Zealand in their opening Twenty20 game on Friday after the Black Caps slumped to their third-lowest T20 score in a dismal start to their tour.
South Africa needed just 12.1 overs to reach 87-2 and overhaul New Zealand's 86 all out.
Left badly exposed by the absence of experienced players themselves — including former captain Ross Taylor — New Zealand needed 23 from debutant Colin Munro to help it past its record low in 20-over games, 80 all out against Pakistan in 2010.
Seamer Rory Kleinvedlt (3-18) and left-arm spinner Robin Peterson (2-8) did the bowling damage for the Proteas while stand-in captain Faf du Plessis led South Africa home in his first game in charge, hitting the winning runs and finishing 38 not out. Wicketkeeper batsman Quinton de Kock was 28 not out on his international debut.
"No complaints, it was a fantastic game for us. Very happy," Du Plessis said. "It's the standard we've set, but the standard we have to keep for the remainder of the series."
Desperate to perform well under new skipper Brendon McCullum and put aside the controversy over the exit of Taylor as captain, New Zealand's relatively experienced top order all failed and left the four debutants it fielded in the series-opener with little chance to revive the innings.
McCullum was one of the failures as he fell for six to a relentless South African seam attack. The visitors were 36-6 at one stage before the South African-born Munro and then tailender Doug Bracewell (21 not out) gave them some small respectability.
Rob Nicol (3), Peter Fulton (9), McCullum and James Franklin (0) all went cheaply at the start of the innings as South African seamers Kleinveldt, Dale Steyn (2-13), Chris Morris (2-19) and Ryan McLaren (1-27) cashed in on regular mistimed attacking shots by the Black Caps batsmen.
Peterson then helped mop up the tail with his 2-8 off four overs — the most economical bowling from a South African in T20 internationals.
"We came here to play some aggressive cricket," New Zealand captain McCullum said, "but first things first we do have to do some fundamentals right to earn the right to be aggressive ... We got a couple of things we didn't get right."
Munro, who made his New Zealand debut back in the city of his birth, Durban, hit four fours in a brief counterattack. Bracewell struck three boundaries in a 21-run partnership with Ronnie Hira for the ninth wicket — the highest stand of the innings. New Zealand was still bowled out with 10 balls remaining of its 20 overs.
Debutant fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan removed Richard Levi for a duck in the first over of South Africa's reply for a rare high spot for the tourists.
But Henry Davids — also on debut — hit a six and three fours in his 20 from 13 balls to kick start the Proteas' chase and new leader Du Plessis continued his belligerent form from the victorious tour of Australia to take South Africa home.

Whistling Dog Heritage Blocks Pinot noir 2011
$15.95 Regular
The 2011 is immediately likable when opened, sporting a nose of dark berries and cedar that adds cherry and cinnamon on the palate. The texture is supple and seamless, resulting in no small way from the 18 months of barrel aging (a rarity among $25 Oregon Pinot noir). You could slip this into a line-up of �reserve� wines and it would hold its own - actually, I bet it would show up at least half the competition. Instead of 2010�s paltry 75 case production, we were gifted with an increase to 200 cases, as yields were significantly better.
2010 notes: An outstanding value. This is packed with rich cherry, blue and black berry flavors, accented by cinnamon and thyme. It is beautifully structured to age for a decade or more.
Most wineries, rightfully, ask big bucks for their old vine Pinots. Not Whistling Dog's Tom and Celeste Symonette. This tiny 3-barrel ($75 case) production comes from their dry-farmed, 30 year-old block of Heritage clones (Pommard and Wadenswil). One of the very few sub-$25 Pinots deserving of our Reserve Pinot Noir Club. The only $24 thing about this Pinot is the price tag.
Previous vintage notes: The 2009 NSV Estate Heritage Blocks Pinot was produced from own-rooted, dry-farmed Pommard and Wadenswil clones planted in 1981; the wine was made using 100% whole berry grapes, native yeasts, and minimalist winemaking techniques. Aged nineteen months in barrel, using 50% new oak; 17 months in bottle upon release.
Nuestro Sue�o Vineyard is Whistling Dog�s estate vineyard, located on the southwestern slopes of the Eola-Amity Hills in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Planted in the 1980�s, it is one of the original vineyards planted in the AVA, and is dry-farmed using sustainable farming practices.

Could Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority be land bank funding source?
Local officials might look to the Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority as a funding source if a land bank is launched to acquire, manage and market troubled properties for redevelopment.
Perry Wood, the Gaming Revenue Authority's executive director, said the authority's board of directors has not yet discussed land banking, or whether the authority -- which distributes a portion of Erie County government's multimillion-dollar share of gambling revenues from Presque Isle Downs & Casino -- would be willing to financially support one.
But Wood told the Erie Times-News that land banking "is an initiative that requires collaboration from many different municipalities and groups in Erie County. That's the kind of policy we want to promote. I anticipate discussing it (with the authority's board) in the near future."
Wood attended a July 17 informational meeting on land banking at Erie City Hall.
"Let me say this: It's way too premature to say whether we would fund a land bank or not," Wood said. "But I think blight reduction is absolutely essential to economic development. The key challenge moving forward is creating sustainability, and determining what your priorities are in tackling the blight issue."
Through a land bank, communities can get unencumbered title to vacant, dilapidated properties that might have municipal liens or unpaid property taxes -- properties that are often acquired at judicial tax sales or through Erie County's repository of unsold properties.
A new law signed by Gov. Tom Corbett in October helps municipalities of more than 10,000 people establish land banks to deal with problem properties.
Wood said he was aware that Dauphin County, which includes Harrisburg, created the first land bank under the new law in May, and that the county is using gambling revenues to fund it.
Kim Green, the Erie Redevelopment Authority's executive director, said no decision has been made in regard to whether a land bank would work in Erie.
"But if we decide to form a land bank, we would want to have conversations with several potential funding sources, including the Gaming Revenue Authority," Green said. "A land bank isn't a cure-all for blight, but this new law could be an important tool. We need to explore it."
David Sample, a member of the Gaming Revenue Authority's board, said he likes the concept of a land bank.
"We've got to make sure we get the most good out of these gaming funds," Sample said. "This could definitely be one of those projects. But there's got to be a lot of further discussion on the board first."

This year ushers in infinite possibilities, as have all the years that came before it. This year brings with it a new feeling though, hesitation. I have always thrown myself headfirst into the oncoming year, leaped with abandon at the newness and the fresh possibilities that lie ahead. Not this time. I met yesterday's sunrise with pause, reflection, hesitation. This year could not possibly be like the last? Could it? Would it?
I spent the better part of the month in celebration- we started school here, we did birthday outings and adventures... by the time my actual birthday rolled around I felt obligated to be still. Listen. Learn. Because if there is one thing birthdays have taught me, it is that no matter what- if I'm still breathing, they just keep coming. Life is hard, harder, hardest... and yet- here I am. Another year older. Another year completed. Another year gone.
As a mother it is easy to focus on the rapidly growing children at my feet, they age decades in moments and become new people seemingly each season that passes by. My changes are not as apparent. They mostly lie below the surface, deep down inside of me, places I rarely go and places others never do. Nonetheless these changes are there... I am changing, sowing and reaping... my own harvest. Fall to fall.
And although I was met this birthday morning with hesitation, as the day wore on the familiar warmth of possibility crept in and as the first official day of my 32nd year came to a close, I was awash with potential. Happiness. Peace.
So here's to another year. I will rise up to meet it with hopeful, albeit slightly cautious, optimism. Happy birthday to me.

Hey all.
PHPStorm is bundled with a Language Injection for Regexp using the <<<REGEXP HEREDOC expression. I would like to also have it auto detect Regexp written in strings. For this I tried to create a custom language injection entry (see attached export).
Unfortunately, my attempt does not seem to work but I also don't understand why it wouldn't work, so I'm interested if anyone has any idea on this.
Things I want to match:
$var = "/someregex/";
So to this end I added the following:
+ phpLiteralExpression().withText(string().matchesBrics("^[/#@].*[/#@][gi]?$"))
Which I expected to work but doesn't... what am I doing wrong? I at first also wanted the ending group [/#@] to match using a backreference for the first group (as "([/#@])" and "\1" or "$1") but this syntax wasn't accepted and as such also didn't work :-/

We use nearly half a million individual responses from the European Commission´s Eurobarometer survey from 2000-2011 and estimate probit regressions with sample selection. We find that transparency exerts a non-linear effect on trust. Transparency increases trust, but only up to a certain point; too much transparency harms trust. This result is robust to controlling for a number of macroeconomic conditions, financial stability transparency measures, and economic and socio-demographic characteristics of respondents, including examining respondents in European Union countries that do not use the euro and addressing clustering issues. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Institutional determinants of labour market outcomes in the EU: A social model employment efficiency and income distribution index http://hdl.handle.net/10419/125531 Title: Institutional determinants of labour market outcomes in the EU: A social model employment efficiency and income distribution index Authors: Knogler, Michael; Lankes, Fidelis Abstract: Labour market performance as measured by employment rates conceals significant differences among EU countries. In 2014 the variation was between 48.8% in Greece and 74.4% in Sweden. Average employment rate for the EU28 was at 64.8% in 2014, perceptibly below the Lisbon goal of 70 percent. Inequality in income distribution as measured by S80/S20 income quintile share ratio ranges in 2013 from 3.4 in Czech Republic to 6.6 in Bulgaria, Romania and Greece and has risen especially in Southeast European countries during the last years. To some extent, labour market and social institutions may account for these differences. Implemented social models in Europe differ from each other by different combinations of policies and institutions showing the dimensions of social models. We use these dimensions to develop two indices which capture the employment and income distribution efficiency of social models i.e. shows how institutions impact on employment and income distribution. Both indices can be used to rank and compare the institutional quality of social models across EU countries. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z International spillovers of ECB's unconventional monetary policy: The effect on Central and Eastern Europe http://hdl.handle.net/10419/125530 Title: International spillovers of ECB's unconventional monetary policy: The effect on Central and Eastern Europe Authors: Halova, Klara; Horvath, Roman Abstract: We examine how unconventional monetary policy of the European Central Bank influences macroeconomic stability in Central and Eastern European economies. We estimate various panel vector autoregressions using monthly data from 2008-2014. Using the shadow policy rate and central bank assets as measures of unconventional policies, we find that output and prices in Central and Eastern Europe temporarily increase following an expansionary unconventional monetary policy shock by the European Central Bank. Using both impulse responses and variance decompositions, we find that the effect of unconventional policies on output is much stronger than the effect on inflation. In addition, our results provide evidence that unconventional policy tends to reduce market uncertainty and domestic interest rates but that the effect on the real exchange rate is not significant. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Natural resources and economic growth: A meta-analysis http://hdl.handle.net/10419/125528 Title: Natural resources and economic growth: A meta-analysis Authors: Havranek, Tomas; Horvath, Roman; Zeynalov, Ayaz Abstract: An important question in development studies is how abundance of natural resources affects long-term economic growth. No consensus answer, however, has yet emerged, with approximately 40% of empirical papers finding a negative effect, 40% finding no effect, and 20% finding a positive effect. Does the literature taken together imply the existence of the so-called natural resource curse? In a quantitative survey of 402 estimates reported in 33 studies, we find that overall support for the resource course hypothesis is weak when potential publication bias and method heterogeneity are taken into account. Our results also suggest that three aspects of study design are especially effective in explaining the differences in results across studies: 1) including an interaction of natural resources with institutional quality, 2) controlling for the level of investment activity, and 3) distinguishing between different types of natural resources. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

Washington's democratic senator for the 38th District spoke to Washington State University's College of Education Wednesday night. He said he'll continue his efforts to get rid of standardized testing in the state because he believes they can't accurately portray student performance.
"Rather than a test, we should have a school system, a seamless school system from birth to career," said Senator John McCoy.
McCoy said he has a problem with the emphasis on Common Core because it limits a student's creativity and capacity to problem solve. He said his ideal K-12 education system would get rid of grades and centralized school buildings, but he supports the use of technology to individualize education.

In planar process technologies the 28nm or 20nm implies the minimum transistor gate length of 28nm or 20nm. Corresponding to that lithographic capability are two other critical dimensions: the "contacted gate pitch" and the "metal pitch" for the lowest, thinnest metal layers. (Higher metal layers will be thicker with less resistance which are more suitable for longer routes but will have a greater width+space design pitch.)
FinFETS changed this of course since they are transistors in the 3rd dimension. Intel 22nm, TSMC 16nm, Samsung 14nm are named by marketing people not technologists. The new 14nm processes use 20nm process technology with FinFET transistors. That is why 14nm will launch and ramp much faster than previous nodes, the yield learning has already be done at 20nm. So yes you will see risk 14nm silicon in 2014 with production in 2015.
What kind of added value do FinFETS have at 14nm compared to 20nm planar? This is based on ARM test chips so consider it preliminary:
2-3% higher cost
37% more performance
90% less power
14nm FinFET is going to be a good node, especially for the mobile guys. These numbers are Samsung 14nm, I have no idea what Intel 14nm will end up at.
"So yes you will see risk (ARM) 14nm silicon in 2014 with production in 2015."

Foundries Rush 3-D Transistors
Nearly two years after Intel, the world's leading foundries scramble to get FinFETs into the hands of chip designers
By Rachel Courtland / January 2013

The 3-D transistor is poised to go mainstream. After falling behind Intel, the world's biggest foundries are all gearing up to produce these cutting edge switches. And to accelerate the process, some have opted to take an unusual step: marrying the new transistors with an older approach to building the wiring that ties them together on a chip.
The hope is that this hybrid strategy will help foundries make 3-D transistors, or FinFETs, available to most of the world's semiconductor firms by 2014, a good year earlier than anticipated. That could help close the gap with Intel, which unveiled the first commercial 3-D transistor process in 2011 and likely aims to supply the technology, with few exceptions, only to itself. Intel plans to release the transistors in smartphone and tablet chips tailor-made to compete against the foundries' customers.
Chipmakers are switching to FinFETs because each time they have shrunk their ordinary, planar transistors, manufacturers have seen a smaller performance gain. FinFETs—which effectively turn the transistor's current- carrying channel on its side to create a fin—carry more current and leak less of it, making for circuits that perform better and use less power. GlobalFoundries, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), and United Microelectronics have all made it clear that they plan to pursue the technology. They aim to introduce FinFETs at the 14-nanometer-manufacturing-process node—a step, more or less, behind Intel's 22-nm introduction.
To get there, both GlobalFoundries and TSMC have revealed they'll take a half step. They will replace planar transistors with a denser array of FinFETs, but they won't advance the manufacturing process used to build the wiring that connects the devices on the "back end" layers of the chip. As a result, although there will be more transistors in any given area, a good number of them won't be connected and therefore can't be used. The chips won't be much smaller than the 20-nm generation, which is going into production now. That means the foundries won't be able to create more of them on a single wafer to reduce costs. Nonetheless, GlobalFoundries expects the chips it will produce could be as much #$%$ percent faster or 40 percent less power hungry than the 20-nm generation.
For GlobalFoundries, the advantage of this halfway approach is that it will let the company keep more than 7000 design rules that were developed for the 20-nm planar chip, while changing just 60 or so that are needed to describe the fin, says Subramani Kengeri, vice president of advanced technology architecture at GlobalFoundries. "First- generation FinFET is a huge challenge. There's no question about it," says Kengeri. "Adding more risks to that by adding other complexi ties that were not necessarily fin- related was not prudent." All told, the hybrid approach should allow the company to accelerate production by a year.

FINS ARE IN: Three-dimensional transistors, or FinFETs, control current between the source and drain more effectively by surrounding the transistor channel with the gate on three sides.
Click on the image for a larger view.
TSMC, which calls its FinFET scheme a 16-nm process, says its chips are "similar" in size and density to other foundries' 14-nm offerings. Later this year, both TSMC and GlobalFoundries hope to create small batches of test chips for customers and are targeting full production in 2014, which will put the companies' releases more or less on the same schedule as that of Intel's own 14-nm chips.
"I think this incremental strategy is probably a very sound, safe way of not changing too many things at the same time and developing something they can be sure can be production worthy," says Chi-Ping Hsu, who heads up research and development for the Silicon Realization Group at Cadence, an electronic design automation firm based in San Jose, Calif.
FinFETs are "a huge challenge for the whole industry," Hsu says. He estimates that his team at Cadence has already spent some 4000 man-years overhauling computer code for today's generation of chips so that processor operation can be simu lated in a realistic time frame. FinFETs, which boast stronger electrical effects on their neighbors and have dimensions that can't be adjusted, are an added challenge. Hsu reckons it will cost the foundries and their partners some US $6 billion to develop the manufacturing prowess and the computational tools needed to make 14-nm and 16-nm chips.
Whether the investment will pay off in the end is unclear, says Sam Tuan Wang, chief analyst for semiconductor foundries at Gartner. "People say if Intel can do it, I can do it. That's not true," he says. We may not have to wait long to find out
"Nonetheless, GlobalFoundries expects the chips it will produce could be as much #$%$ percent faster or 40 percent less power hungry than the 20-nm generation."
That should be 55 percent faster

In their Dec. 14 op-ed, "InfiLaw is the right fit for Charleston School of Law," Robert Carr and George Kosko, two of the three law school owners, claim that InfiLaw schools are comparable to the Charleston School of Law, and that there were no alternative buyers for the law school. The actual operating results of CSOL and the three InfiLaw schools (Florida Coastal, Phoenix and Charlotte) tell a quite different story.
The American Bar Association report on percentages of 2012 graduates who were able to obtain full-time, long-term jobs requiring a law degree shows the following: Charleston School of Law, 54 percent; Florida Coastal, 36 percent; Phoenix, 44 percent; and Charlotte, 38 percent.
Additionally, each of the InfiLaw schools admitted students with lower GPAs and LSAT scores than CSOL, and all had a higher acceptance rate than CSOL. (Phoenix School of Law accepted 73 percent of those who applied in 2012.)
Not surprisingly, the class size at schools owned by InfiLaw is typically more than double the class size at CSOL. Florida Coastal recently ranked at the bottom of the U.S. News and World Report list of which schools result in the best return for the investment. Florida Coastal also appeared on a list of law schools most likely to yank merit-based scholarships.
A particularly worrisome aspect of Florida Coastal's record is its failure to achieve promised results. An article titled, "Law school has high hopes for sale," in the Florida Times-Union of Sept. 6, 2003, noted that InfiLaw envisioned moving the law school "to among the nation's best law schools."
At that time, representatives for InfiLaw stated: "If the school is going to get beyond the founding stage, it's going to need new owners."
Based on recent rankings, InfiLaw has not accomplished this goal.
Upon the announcement that InfiLaw had entered into a management agreement with CSOL, 32 students transferred from Charleston Law to other schools. The opinion of the CSOL students hasn't changed. A student poll conducted between Oct. 21 and Nov. 2, 2013 (in which 65 percent of students participated) showed that 96 percent of them oppose a sale of CSOL to InfiLaw, and 82 percent are considering transferring if the sale goes through.
A letter from current CSOL student leaders - including the president of the Student Bar Association and editors-in-chief of three student publications - was sent to the S.C. Commission on Higher Education on September 10, 2013. The students wrote that, "A sense of betrayal, mistrust, and disappointment now permeates our campus."
Former Judges Carr and Kosko claim that a sale to InfiLaw is the only practical alternative for the law school to survive and thrive. They have not outlined why the alternatives proposed by the third director, Ed Westbrook (which were outlined in his letter to the editor the Sept. 30 Post and Courier), are inadequate.
Why are Carr and Kosko unwilling to allow their ownership shares to be redeemed, as was done for Alex Sanders and Ralph McCullough, and then allow replacement board members to be selected from the local legal community?
While selling to InfiLaw is likely the most profitable option for the two CSOL directors pursuing that option, it is not in the best interests of the thousands of graduates of the CSOL, and current and future students, and indeed the state of South Carolina.
