When Gregg Popovich thinks about Doug Collins, he doesn't envision the Philadelphia 76ers coach as he is now at age 61. Nor does he picture Collins as an NBA player, willing his way to an All-Star career with the Sixers on force of will alone. When Popovich thinks of Collins, he invariably thinks of Munich in 1972, and a skinny 21-year-old from rural Illinois at the foul line, trying to take down the big, bad Soviet Union in an Olympic gold medal game that would live in infamy.

The Hypertech Max Energy 2.0 Programmer is very easy to operate and it took little time to learn it. Before I hooked it up to my truck I updated the unit from the internet. Even though it's brand new there were a couple of updates. So I suggest updating it as soon as you receive it. I'm very glad I bought the programmer.

A Lansdale woman pleaded guilty this afternoon in Montgomery County Court to bilking a paralyzed stroke patient in her care out of property and savings worth $370,000.
Janet M. Gitney, 58, of the 700 block of Brian Way, said she understood what she was agreeing to as Judge Joseph A. Smyth accepted the plea during an afternoon hearing in Norristown.
Last year, Gitney was charged by Hatfield Township police with theft, fraud, forgery, and misusing her position as trustee for Eugene Waldspurger, 58, formerly of Hatfield.
In 2007, Gitney moved the disabled man into her Lansdale home to manage his health and finances, according to court records. The thefts occurred between 2009 and 2011.

Eight counties reported employment greater than 1 million in 1996
December 04, 1998
During 1996, eight U.S. counties reported employment of greater than 1 million. Los Angeles County, California, had the highest employment level of any county at 3.8 million. The others reporting more than 1 million employees were Cook County, Illinois; New York County, New York; Harris County, Texas; Dallas County, Texas; Maricopa County, Arizona; Orange County, California; and San Diego County, California.
[Chart data—TXT]
Among these counties, Maricopa County, Arizona (part of the Phoenix metropolitan area), had the largest percent increase in employment from 1995 to 1996 at 8.4 percent. When reporting changes that did not represent true employment increases were excluded, the employment increase in Maricopa County was 7.2 percent--still substantially higher than the next largest increase among the top eight. (The reporting changes affected the county in which State government jobs were recorded.) Five of the eight counties had percent increases in employment greater than the national average of 2.1 percent.
New York County, New York, experienced the highest change in average annual pay among these eight counties, up 7.7 percent from 1995 to 1996. This change was substantially higher than the next largest increase--4.8 percent in Harris County, Texas (part of the Houston metropolitan area). Five of the eight counties had percent increases in average annual pay increases greater than the national average of 3.9 percent.
These data are a product of the BLS Covered Employed and Wages (ES-202) program. Additional information is available from news release USDL 98-443, "Employment and Average Annual Pay for Large Counties, 1996."

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Abba Amsterdam
Turned the holiday into a living nightmare
This place ruined our holiday! A few friends and myself were unlucky to discover we where sharing the room with a large family of mice! A few days into the stay I spotted what I thought was a mouse in the room one night, a few minutes later I saw another mouse pop its head out from the kitchen. As a friend went into another room to tell the guy in there, he spotted another. After moving the furniture to check for mouse droppings, we found mouse traps down the back of the radiators and underneath our beds! Obviously the owners where aware of the mouse problem. The ground floor is an old disused car showroom - I suspect this is where they are coming from. The group of us spent the night awake, knowing mice were all over the place where we slept. We got our money back the next morning without much fuss (probably because we where a group of guys in no mood to be messed about). We spent the next 2 hours roaming Amsterdam trying to find somewhere else to stay.
Alright for an Amsterdam Honeymoon!
I spent a long weekend here with my husband, and our best mates, for our honeymoon. We had a fantastic time. Felt safe with the security boxes in the hotel. The stairs were mad, especially when trying to negotiate them stoned and drunk in the early hours... Breakfast was fantastic - no matter the state we were in, we made it for breakfast.
Excellant lining to the stomach for serious sight seeing! The rooms were basicallly tidy, and teh towels fresh and clean everyday. We had no complaints. Thanks Hotel Abba...
Great for a 1-star
we booked in to Abba out of necessity - the hostels were full, but got a very pleasant surprise. For about the same price as a hostel two of us got a private room, TV with loads of channels and clean towels everyday. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I'll definitely stay there again. The stairs are a bit steep, so I would'nt recommend it to my grandmother - but as a cheap, no-frills stay it's perfect.
Nice for budget traveling!
Stayed here in fall of '02 with friends. Stairs getting to the rooms were a killer. Once there, the rooms were big for a budget hotel. Not to mention, we had our own toilet (also odd for a budget European hotel)! Some rooms have a little patio overlooking tops of smaller buildings. Ours had a giant window that didn't open facing the busy street. Not the best views...no canals in sight. Breakfast was good and filling. All in all, it was well worth it for a budget hotel!
We stayed here for 6 days in May-June, and our room would have been fine if only they had cleaned it. Unfortunately on 3 days out of 6 it was left untouched, and twice we had to request the day's clean towels from reception. We were told this was because the hotel is only 2-star!
We are very used to 2-star hotels, but this is the first time I've experienced one where cleaning/tidying is not carried out daily - a necessity when two people camp in one room for a week. NB breakfasts are the standard Dutch breakfast, nothing special.
Good - Not Great
There's a maxim to be applied to cheap hotels like the Abba - you get what you pay for. In that sense I can't be dissapointed with what we got- a basic, slightly crumbling room - but in a good location. The staff are indeed very friendly, the hotel is smoker friendly (it sells the smokers guide to Amsterdam), But the toilet was a problem. The smell emenating from there can only be descibed as powerful. It didn't help that the shower was right beside it, and on the same dank tiled floor, so that we couldn't shower for fear of ... yeuch, doesn't bear thinking about. Try as we might, and we did try - with bleach,air freshener - the smell of decaying faeces never left.I can't complain - we had a great stay, and if you can stand the odd inconvenience (like having to wearshoes walking around the room or in the toilet), and not being able to shower, you'll be fine. I just feel that with more attention paid to cleanliness, this could be a little gem.
Hotel abba did it for us!
We stayed in the hotel abba in august last year the rooms are very clean the staff very polite and although it isnt in amsterdam central it was only a two minute tram ride to get there it is located near leidseplein which has excellent food and bars and nightlife we will definately be going back this year so everyone at hotel abba see you soon!
Great location, Great value
I have stayed there several times and found it to be a great spot to explore Amsterdam from. The room was clean and well furnished and the staff was most patient with all the typical tourist questions. Tram #1 & 6 stop right in front of hotel and around the corner are tram stops for the other main routes in the city. Also only one block from Vondel Park and the wonderful terrace cafe there. Very reasonable room rate, I would rather spend my cash on all the "other" indulgences you find in this great city. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did.
P.S. EXCELLENT breakfast and delicious coffee!!!
Excellent value
The hotel is on a busy road, with shops opposite, trams, bikes and cars everywhere. The entrance to the hotel is up a steep dark set of stairs under a disused car garage and did not look promising. However, when we opened the door ro reception we were met with a bright and cheerful room and friendly and helpful staff.
We had booked a twin room, and when we got to it we were pleased to find it large and clean with wardrobes and a dressing table. The bathroom opposite was clean and we were only sharing it with one other room. Although our room faced onto the busy road (complete with roadworks while we stayed there!), once the window was shut we really couldn't hear anything from outside.
The breakfast was superb, with toast, eggs, ham, cheese, cereal- all spread out in another cheerful room off reception. The other guests seemed to be a mix of young people, families and businessmen types.
The hotel is a little way out of central Amsterdam (about a 15 minute walk), but there is plenty to see as you walk in and there are tram stops along the road. There are lots of restaurants and cafes nearby, and there is a supermarket across the road from the hotel.
I would definitely stay here again.

Car taken in Gothenburg recovered in North Platte
Cat stays warm in stolen pickup
A car belonging to a local resident, stolen Jan. 28, was recovered the same day in North Platte.
Gothenburg police officer Joe Humphrey, who investigated the incident, said an employee of All Points Cooperative, 120 Eighth St., left keys in a 2010 Pontiac sedan.
Left at the business was a 1997 Dodge pickup, with a cat inside, that had been stolen in Osceola, Humphrey said.
Police alerted other law enforcement about the theft and through an investigation, the sedan was located near the Lincoln County Courthouse in North Platte, he said.
Humphrey said Michael Smith, 50, who lists Grand Island and North Platte as home, was arrested on charges of motor vehicle theft.
The cat was taken to Eastside Animal Center which serves as the city pound.
What people can learn from the incident, he said, is to not leave keys in vehicles.
"If you do, everyone coming through town can help themselves to your property," Humphrey said. "Don't leave your car unlocked or leave valuables in your car."

Array stores the number of values having the same data type. Instead of creating number of variables to store values, one array can be created and multiple values can be stored in that particular array. Integers and Strings are two different data types thus '1′ and 'Chris' cannot be in a same array. Newer version of Bash supports array. If you are new to shell scripting, first visit our shell scripting category. In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to work with an array.
Let's take an very simple example:
arrayName=(freshtutorial linux tips tricks)
Here "arrayName" is the name of an array. The words inside the small brackets are called elements. Each element are stored in a location called a array index. Array index always starts from 0. Thus in the above array:
arrayName[0]=freshtutorial arrayName[1]=linux arrayName[2]=tips arrayName[3]=tricks
Now that we have created an array, let's see how it works. I am going to retrieve the element from the array we created. While retrieving the element we need to specify the array index. The syntax is:
echo ${arrayName[array_index]}
The full script is:
#!/bin/sh arrayName=(freshtutorial linux tips tricks) echo ${arrayName[1]}
Yes, this script will print "linux" as "linux" have the array index 1. The output is:

Debian vs Ubuntu
Debian and Ubuntu are free Linux distributions (or "distros") using the apt package management system. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process [1].
- 1 Focus
- 2 Standard Releases
- 3 Repositories for updating specific packages
- 4 Other Releases
Ubuntu is specifically designed to be easy for inexperienced users to use. Initial configuration of Debian used to be more difficult. Ubuntu's early motto was "Linux for human beings", while Debian describes itself as "the universal operating system." The decision to use one or the other may also hinge on the relative importance of new, possibly unstable software versus old reliable software.
Community is probably the biggest distinguishing feature besides distribution "flavor". The Ubuntu forums are more accessible to newcomers, while Debian forums are more technical. Both distributions depend heavily on a large community of volunteer open-source software developers and users who provide free support for each other while using the software. Ubuntu is based on Debian so it relies on Debian community as well as on Ubuntu community. Ubuntu is also sponsored by (and was created by) the company Canonical, which offers fee-based support services for Ubuntu, whereas Debian is developed entirely by the community.
Target Architecture[edit]
Ubuntu is aimed at desktop and server users using the Intel x86, x86-64, and (some versions) PowerPC architectures only, whereas Debian runs not only on these but also on a huge range of hardware from embedded or handheld devices using ARM to MIPS processors to platforms such as Sparc, Intel's IA64 and Alpha, to name a few. There are advantages and disadvantages to supporting such a wide range of different hardware; one disadvantage Debian faces is that it takes more time and resources to ensure a piece of software works on all its architectures.
Standard Releases[edit]
Both Ubuntu and Debian have standard releases that allow users and contributors to use the system. Most of the release separation is managed by the apt source.
Debian Unstable (a.k.a. Sid)[edit]
The Debian Unstable branch is an opportunity for developers and experienced computer users to use, test, and develop the very latest open source software. It is not recommended for beginners or for anyone for whom reliability is a priority. While the quality of software in Debian Unstable is usually very high, the branch is highly unstable in the sense that things change rapidly and constantly; developers can't rely on libraries that are available (and working) one day to be available the next, and users can't rely on their correctly-configured and smooth-running system not to need additional configuration and workarounds every time something changes tes.
Ubuntu Releases (non-LTS)[edit]
These releases are based on the Debian Unstable branch, and are made every six months (although every fourth release becomes an LTS release, see below).
Ubuntu releases (whether LTS or non-LTS) include software that is more up-to-date than the software in the Debian Unstable branch when developers believe it will benefit their users. For example, the version of Ubuntu released in April 2010 contained Firefox 3.6, while Debian Unstable still included Firefox 3.5 (with Iceweasel branding).
Ubuntu's goals are to start with the most up-to-date software that Debian has to offer, release new stable versions regularly on a predictable 6-month cycle, and make an operating system that is easy to use and set up for beginners. To this end, Ubuntu adds a number of features of its own aimed at making configuration easier for the uninitiated, offering graphical configuration tools in place of command-line or configuration files in places.
Ubuntu puts a lot of its own effort into making the Unstable branch of Debian as reliable as it can given the newer software that it uses and its more rapid release cycle. After being pulled from Debian Unstable, it undergoes some Ubuntu-specific changes and a series of testing and bug-fixing before it is declared as a release. Some of the work that Ubuntu does in testing newer software results in patches that make it back to the software maintainers, which in turn helps improve Debian (and other distributions) for its future releases.
Ubuntu produces non-LTS release every six months in April and October, and numbers them in the format yy.mm, so Ubuntu 14.04 was released in April 2014.
Debian Testing[edit]
The Debian Testing branch represents the state of the upcoming Debian release, before it is Stable. Most of the time, packages from Debian Unstable (a.k.a. Sid) will transfer across to Testing, usually after 10 days, as soon as they meet a stringent set of guidelines, such as having no new known "release-critical" bugs and having all dependencies installable and satisfied. Thus, some of the more immediately obvious bugs and problems in Debian Unstable will be prevented from entering Testing. Nevertheless, Debian Testing is still inherently unstable due to constantly changing most of the time, and it can be affected by interoperability problems between packages, especially when a major change to a library has recently entered.
Prior to a Debian Stable release, Debian Testing will become 'frozen', accepting only fixes to existing serious bugs. This occurs for a few months, with the aim of resolving all "release-critical" bugs. After this time, a new Debian Stable branch is created from Debian Testing, and Testing is unfrozen again and given a new codename, in preparation for testing the next release.
"Stretch" is the codename for current Debian Testing.
Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) Releases[edit]
Each Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) release will initially be based on the Debian Testing branch. These releases take Ubuntu's approach of making Linux accessible to inexperienced users, and constitute a release that is going to be kept stable for five years (before 12.04 three years) into the future, receiving security updates and some occasional bug fixes during that time, but remaining otherwise unchanged.
Essentially, an Ubuntu LTS release is made in the same way as a non-LTS release, except that it will be kept stable and supported for a lot longer, including by Canonical's own paid support services. In addition, it was decided that Ubuntu LTS releases should initially be based on Debian Testing rather than the similarly unstable but sometimes buggier Debian Unstable.
It is intended that every fourth Ubuntu release shall become an LTS release, thus Ubuntu LTS releases are made every two years. The most current Ubuntu LTS release is Ubuntu 16.04.
Debian Stable[edit]
These releases are very reliable. A "Debian Testing" is branched to form a new "Debian Stable" release after it has been frozen for some months, tested extensively and very few problems remain.
Debian Stable is supported by security updates, and fixes to extremely major bugs, until the next Debian Stable release aimed at 2 years later, and then for an additional year (similar to Ubuntu LTS). During this time it does not, however, receive any new versions of software, nor any bug-fixes except for a small number of bugs deemed major enough and for which a fix is unlikely to change any relied-upon behaviour.
Because of this, users wishing to test or use the latest versions of software with Debian Stable will need to either compile it themselves, or use a 'backports' repository providing some newer versions of software which has been compiled to be compatible with Debian Stable. Developers, or technically-adept people who know how to fix problems and want the latest software, may like to use 'Testing' or 'Unstable' instead.
"Jessie" is the current Debian Stable release. (Debian 8)
Repositories for updating specific packages[edit]
Ubuntu PPAs[edit]
Ubuntu supports Personal Package Archives, which are mini repositories that can be installed to get a specific package or set of packages that aren't in the main repositories, or to update a package or set of packages to a newer version than the version in the repositories. Ubuntu users may choose an LTS release, but then install a PPA for a specific program they would like to keep more up to date, e.g. Firefox 5 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
PPA repositories co-exist with the Official Ubuntu Package Repository. Debian can still use PPA Repositories but they are considered to be 3rd party repositories.
Debian Backports[edit]
Debian Backports are similar to Ubuntu PPAs, insofar as getting an updated package on a stable / LTS operating system goes.
"You are running Debian stable, because you prefer the Debian stable tree. It runs great, there is just one problem: the software is a little bit outdated compared to other distributions. This is where backports come in."
"Backports are recompiled packages from testing (mostly) and unstable (in a few cases only, e.g. security updates) in a stable environment so that they will run without new libraries (whenever it is possible) on a Debian stable distribution."
Backports can be used in a similar way to PPAs, e.g. to install IceWeasel 5 on Debian 6.0.
Other Releases[edit]
The Debian community continues to support a release of Debian Stable even for one year after a newer Stable release is made. When this happens, the old Stable release is dubbed "Oldstable". The current "Oldstable" release is called Wheezy.
There are other variations of Debian and Ubuntu, suitable for users with different computer processor types, older computers, or other specific needs.

Susie Essman, Richard Lewis are a hit and a miss
In the eyes of any talent booker, Richard Lewis and Susie Essman would seem like a totally compatible pairing for a comedy bill. Both standups regularly appear on Larry David's HBO hit comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm." They're the same generation (Lewis is 65, Essman 57), and their takes on their Jewish backgrounds, aging and sexuality aren't too dissimilar.
And so Lewis and Essman were brought in as co-headliners for the second annual Laugh It Up Milwaukee benefit Saturday, presented by the Bayshore Community Foundation and hosted at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center in Whitefish Bay. »Read Full Article(6)

Welcome to the Linux Weather Forecast
This page is an attempt to track ongoing developments in the Linux development community that have a good chance of appearing in a mainline kernel and/or major distributions sometime in the near future. Your "chief meteorologist" is Jonathan Corbet, Executive Editor at LWN.net. If you have suggestions on improving the forecast (and particularly if you have a project or patchset that you think should be tracked), please add your comments below.
Forecast Summaries
Current conditions: the 4.6 kernel was released on May 15, 2016. There is quite a list of features for this release:
- Post-init read-only memory is a new hardening mechanism added to the kernel; it is the beginning of a renewed effort to make the kernel more resistant to exploitation.
- Memory protection keys are an Intel CPU feature allowing programs to divide their memory into zones and apply additional access restrictions to each zone. This, too, is a hardening technique; it can also be used, for example, to prevent sensitive data (cryptographic keys, for example) from being read when it is not in use. 4.6 will have the low-level support and will use this feature to set up execute-only memory; a set of associated system calls can be expected for 4.7.
- The new preadv2() and pwritev2() system calls add a "flags" argument allowing greater control over how I/O is done; the first use is to add a flag indicating a high-priority operation that should use polling for performance if possible.
- The kernel connection multiplexer will enable the implementation of higher-level network protocols in the kernel, for both performance and security.
- Compile-time stack validation is mostly of interest to kernel developers, but it will benefit all users by ensuring that stack tracebacks generated within the kernel (generally when something goes wrong) are accurate. This feature is also a necessary precondition to the full implementation of the live-patching feature, allowing more complex patches to be applied to a running kernel.
- The OrangeFS distributed filesystem has been merged after a long round of review and improvement.
A total of 13,517 non-merge changesets were pulled into the mainline repository during the 4.6 development cycle. It was thus not the busiest development cycle ever — that record is still held by 3.15, at 13,722 changesets — but it was close.
Short-term forecast: the 4.7 kernel can be expected sometime around July 17. The features that have been merged for this release include:
- The tracing histograms feature has been merged. Histograms allow certain kinds of event analysis in the kernel without the need to put together a BPF program to do the data accumulation.
- For those with more complicated tracing analysis needs, it is now possible to attach BPF programs to tracepoints. That allows the loading of (nearly) arbitrary analysis code into the kernel for the accumulation and analysis of tracepoint events.
- The LoadPin security module enables the configuration of systems that can only load kernel code from a specific device. This feature comes from the ChromeOS developers, who use it to improve the security of ChromeBook products.
- Out-of-memory detection has been improved, hopefully leading to more reliable, deterministic behavior when the system runs out of free memory.
- The schedutil CPU frequency governor heralds a new era where the various CPU power-management features work more closely with the scheduler. That should lead to more maintainable code and better power utilization.
Beyond this, of course, the 4.7 merge window brought in several dozen device drivers, countless fixes, and a wide range of kernel improvements.
Longer-term forecasts
As with the weather, there are no certainties about what may be merged into the Linux kernel going forward; every change is evaluated on both its merits and its long-term maintenance costs. Here are a few things on the horizon that are worth watching, though.
Kdbus is an implementation of the D-Bus interprocess communication mechanism in the kernel. This work has run into trouble in the developent community and is currently being redesigned. Chances are that kdbus will eventually find its way into the kernel in some form, though.
The Btrfs filesystem is taking longer than anybody might have liked to reach production readiness, but things are getting closer. Important features, like RAID5/6 support have been merged, and bugs are being squashed. We may well see at least one major distribution adopt Btrfs by default in 2014.
Control groups are the mechanism by which the kernel gathers processes into hierarchical groups; it can then apply policies and resource usage limits to those groups. This feature remains under intensive development, and a lot of changes can be expected over the course of the next year. See this article for a description of some of the ongoing issues in this area.
Power-aware scheduling. On systems with multiple cores (and even cellphones are multi-core these days), quite a bit of power savings can be had by shutting down CPUs when they are not needed. Overly aggressive powering down can make things worse, though, so care is needed. There are several patch sets out there, but there are stillsignificant disagreements over how this problem should be solved. That said, expect significant progress in this area in the 2014 time frame.

Apple AAPL 0.7755393118202888% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD113.05 0.87 0.7755393118202888% /Date(1475269200474-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 34283649 AFTER HOURS USD113.05 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2095457 P/E Ratio 13.20677570093458 Market Cap 609163483021.371 Dividend Yield 2.0168067226890756% Rev. per Employee 1990500 More quote details and news » is rolling in cash, and ought to return more of it to shareholders. The question is how best to do so.
Two weeks ago, Barron's recommended that the company nearly double its dividend to 4%, as the move likely would attract income-oriented investors and lift Apple's depressed shares (ticker: AAPL), then trading for $440 each (see "Rx for Apple: The 4% Solution," Jan. 28).
Others think Apple should boost its meager buyback program, as the shares, which closed for the week at $475, trade for less than 11 times projected profit of $44.75 a share for the fiscal year ending in September. The effective price/earnings multiple falls to 7.5 if Apple's $137 billion, or $145 a share of cash, is excluded.
Investor David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital has an intriguing third alternative that involves issuing preferred stock. His advocacy of that idea, and a lawsuit he filed against Apple, elicited a surprise statement from the company last week that Apple has "been in active discussions about returning additional cash to shareholders." The stock rose 5% on the week.
Einhorn thinks Apple initially should issue about $50 billion of preferred stock to shareholders—one preferred share with a face value of $50 for each common share. He argues the two pieces of paper would be worth more than Apple's current price because investors would put a higher P/E multiple on the preferred than the common, because of demand from income investors.
Einhorn estimates that the Apple preferred could yield just 4% and trade at about face value, or par. This means $1 of Apple earnings would be capitalized at a P/E of 25 as preferred, versus just 11 for the common shares. The common shares would decline after issuance of the preferred because net income would be diverted to pay preferred dividends, but the common-price drop would be much less than the value of the preferred.
"We think for every $50 billion of preferred that Apple issues, it would unlock about $32 a share in Apple," Einhorn told CNBC. He seems to be saying investors would get $50 of preferred and see the common fall about $18 a share. If Apple issued $500 billion of preferred and allocated about half its earnings to preferred dividends, it could unlock $320 a share of value.
Einhorn first broached the preferred idea at the Ira Sohn conference in New York last May, suggesting five companies that could benefit: Apple, Dell (DELL), Microsoft msft 0.34843205574912894% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD57.6 0.2 0.34843205574912894% /Date(1475269200578-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 27119358 AFTER HOURS USD57.59 -0.01 -0.017361111111111112% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2791430 P/E Ratio 28.097560975609756 Market Cap 448848916234.564 Dividend Yield 2.7083333333333335% Rev. per Employee 742939 More quote details and news » (MSFT), General Motors gm 0.9212198221092758% General Motors Co.

Einhorn cites multiple benefits, including no immediate use of cash and no refinancing and default risk, since the preferred presumably would be perpetual. Apple could omit preferred dividends without causing a default since preferred is equity, not debt. A key impediment to the Einhorn idea is that no company is believed to have tried it. His response: "Some may object that there is no precedent for this idea. That is because this is a new idea."
Others say that the preferred might have to yield closer to 5% to trade at par.
Despite the merits of the Einhorn preferred, a conservative Apple probably won't be the first to try it out. It's a better bet that Apple takes a more conventional route. Boosting its dividend and buyback programs this year would be welcome news for Apple holders.

A High-Stakes Poker Game at Caesars: Bondholders vs. Shareholders

Caesars (ticker: CZR) went public a year ago in a tiny initial offering, after it was taken private in a top-of-the-market $30 billion leveraged buyout in 2008. Its shares came public at $9, and were at $14 when our skeptical article was published ("Is Caesars a Sucker's Bet?" Feb. 13, 2012). We urged investors to consider other, less-leveraged regional casino outfits, such as Ameristar Casinos (ASCA). These shares are up sharply since then.
Caesars shares spiked last week, rising 78%, to $13.91, on renewed hopes that Congress will legalize online poker after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he supports the idea. Caesars amounts to a wager on whether online poker is legalized nationally. It has one of the best brands in the World Series of Poker and believes it would be one of the biggest beneficiaries. The shares look pricey because of Caesars' enormous debt load. The stock, however, is dangerous to short since the public float is just a fraction of the 125 million outstanding shares.
The Christie development may not mean much. New Jersey may legalize online poker, but that wouldn't generate much revenue for Caesars. It needs national action—and it's not clear how Christie changes that calculus. Congress refused to legalize online poker late last year.
Caesars has a byzantine capital structure with net debt of $22 billion, 11 times annual cash flow. Its key unit, Caesars Entertainment Operating, which controls most of its assets, will burn through an estimated $450 million to $600 million in cash in 2013 and 2014, according to Fitch Investors Service.
There appears to be no equity value in Caesars core casino business, but the company controls some assets not directly pledged to bondholders, including Caesars Interactive, the online-gaming unit. The key issue: Can the private-equity sponsors hand these businesses to equity holders without lawsuits from bondholders? This is tricky to handicap, given the wording of Caesars' bond indentures. Wall Street firms active in the junk and distressed-debt market are rumored to have spent lots of time and money trying to figure this out.
Last week, Caesars took a step toward separating those assets by announcing that it will create Caesars Growth Venture Partners, an entity that would hold the online business, two casinos, and $1.1 billion face amount of Caesars' debt.
"The company is trying to extend the runway by pushing out its debt maturities and create value for equity holders," says John Kempf, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets. He values the proposed Venture Partners at about $2 billion or more and assumes that equity holders may get half.
There could be no equity value in Caesars, if bondholders get all of its assets. Reflecting that possibility, some Caesars debt trades for just 70 cents on the dollar and yields 20%. "The story may be bondholders versus shareholders," Kempf says.
It is hard to say who will win. Apollo (APO) and TPG are sitting with large paper losses and are working overtime to derive value from one of the past decade's sorriest big leveraged buyouts. Regardless of whether they or the bondholders have the better hand, the poker game will be fascinating to watch.

Staver: Obama Is Worse Than King George And Obamacare Is Worse Than The Boston Massacre
On the broadcast today, Mat Staver warned that the "red line of liberty" has repeatedly been crossed by President Obama in ways that are much worse than what King George III did to cause the Revolutionary War.
After citing several biblical examples, ranging from Esther to Jesus, of biblical figures rising up against tyrants who sought to snuff out liberty, Staver asserted that the Obama administration has been supporting Muslim terrorists while stigmatizing Christians, saying "this is worse than what we saw with King George in terms of what he did to his people" and warning that the United States finds itself again standing at a crucial point in history.
Staver went on to compare Obamacare to the Boston Massacre, saying that while the massacre only resulted in a handful of deaths, Obamacare is "slaughtering its own" by the tens of thousands by "forcing employers to fund the killing of innocent unborn children."
"It pales in comparison," Staver said, "to the Boston Massacre of five or six people. What we are seeing today is clearly the red line, if it hasn't been crossed already - and I tend to think that it has been crossed - it's certainly right there in front of us. And now we the people are going to have to make a decision: are we going to continue to live in the face of this tyranny?":

Steve Jobs Warned Obama of Becoming a One-Term President, Offered Education Ideas
Steve Jobs and President Barack Obama are two if the most iconic and important figures of our time. The late founder of Apple, Jobs was a creative genius and captain of industry and Barack Obama is, of course, the dynamic politician who captivated the nation with a messages of hope and change in one of its darker hours.
Today the release of Walter Isaacson's book Steve Jobs: A Biography is giving a the world a glimpse of what happened when these great minds connected. Representing the private sector and big business, it seems that Jobs had a few choice words of advice for the POTUS leading a country in the midst of economic crisis.
According to the Huffington Post Jobs offered to create political ads for Obama's 2012 re-election bid despite his distaste for some of the Obama administrations economic policies.
The two met in fall 2010 at a San Francisco hotel to discuss education, the economy and the needs of innovative businesses like Apple. In typical fashion Jobs was straight forward with his assessment, reportedly telling Obama "You're headed for a one-term presidency." He later explained that the administration needed to be more friendly to businesses so that they could compete with foreign powers like China. Jobs used the example of the ease of building a factory in China versus the red tape required to build the same factory in the U.S. to illustrate his point. The call for less regulation was a decidedly right wing opinion from a man known as a "hippy" in his younger days.
His right-leaning perspective is also apparent in his take on education; Jobs thought that teachers' unions were partially to blame for poorly performing students and schools. He's quoted as saying ""Until the teachers' unions were broken, there was almost no hope for education reform." He proposed that faculty be held to much higher standards and that students should be made to work harder with school days ending at 6 p.m. and school year that spanned 11 months of the year. According to Jobs principals should be empowered to hire and dismiss teaching staff based on merit.
What do you think of Jobs ideas? Are businesses too strictly regulated? Are unions partly responsible for poor educators and underachieving students? Leave a comment below and let us know what you think.

Uncertainty about U.S. budget talks is chipping away at gold prices.
Gold fell 1.5 percent to finish Tuesday at $1,695.80 an ounce. That's the lowest in a month.
Republicans and Democrats remain at odds over the budget. Automatic tax increases and government spending cuts take effect Jan. 1 unless they reach an agreement. Economists believe those measures could send the U.S. back into a recession.
Investors are unsure about putting money into commodities. If the U.S. economy slows, it could cut demand for industrial metals, oil, and other raw materials. Some are selling contracts for a profit while others are just staying out of the market.
In other trading, prices are lower for industrial metals, oil, wheat, and corn. Soybeans are higher.

After a three-year, $45 million research project, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation believes it has some answers.
The most reliable way to evaluate teachers is to use a three-pronged approach built on student test scores, classroom observations by multiple reviewers and teacher evaluations from students themselves, the foundation found.
"We identified groups of teachers who caused students to learn more," said Thomas J. Kane, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and principal investigator of the Gates study, also known as the Measures of Effective Teaching project.
The findings released Tuesday involved an analysis of about 3,000 teachers and their students in Charlotte; Dallas; Denver; Memphis; New York; Pittsburgh; and Hillsborough County, Fla., which includes Tampa. Researchers were drawn from the Educational Testing Service and several universities, including Harvard, Stanford and the University of Virginia.
The large-scale study is the first to demonstrate that it is possible to identify great teaching, the foundation said.
Researchers videotaped 3,000 participating teachers and experts analyzed their classroom performance. They also ranked the

Waiter, there's food in my flies
WASHINGTON They're creepy. They're crawly. They could be on your menu soon.
A panel of experts discussed this week how insects could be used as a food source for a world population estimated to reach 8 billion by 2025. Guests then were treated to a taste test of insect cuisine.
The discussion was hosted by the Royal Netherlands Embassy and featured Marcel Dicke, head of the Laboratory of Entomology at Wageningen University in the Netherlands; Daniella Martin, owner of GirlMeetsBug.com; and Michael Raupp, a University of Maryland entomology professor and host of BugoftheWeek.com.
Currently, 70 percent of agricultural land is used for livestock, Dicke said. But demand for livestock eventually will be too great for the land available. When that time comes, Dicke said people will have to turn to other, more sustainable sources.
Insects from more than 1,900 species form parts of the diets of roughly 2 billion people, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The crunchy critters are a good source of protein, iron and calcium.
The study found beetles are the most widely consumed insect, accounting for nearly one-third of insects eaten. But caterpillars, bees, wasps and crickets also make up a sizable portion of some diets.
Dicke said insects aren't just a source of food to these people, they're a delicacy – much like lobster and escargot are to Western culture.
Societies have been eating bugs for thousands of years, Martin said.
"This was not something that someone just decided to experiment with," she said. "This is something that societies have been surviving off of."
Martin's blog discusses recipes for some of these insects, including instructions on making such meals as caramel apples covered in mealworms; cabbage, snap peas and crickets; and a "bee-LT" sandwich, made with fried bee larvae.
Martin cooked the food at Wednesday's event. Visitors were treated to chips and guacamole topped with crickets; pancakes with mealworms baked inside; and fresh asparagus skewered with cicadas.
Alexandra Fourier, an intern at the French Embassy, said the insects reminded her of seafood. Although initially uneasy at the idea, she said she would eat them again.

History between War Memorial, Art Museum disrupts overhaul
On the way toward reshaping the more than half-century relationship between the War Memorial Center and the Milwaukee Art Museum, old history and simmering resentments are threatening to disrupt a planned $25 million overhaul of the iconic lakefront temple that's home to the museum and local veterans groups.
Revenue from a parking lot and who controls land on the north side of the center have become the final battleground in a dispute that has its roots in a 1997 amendment to the long-term lease the War Memorial Center has with the county on the building. A 2001 revision to the '97 pact was intended to put the dispute to rest. »Read Full Article(34)

2012 TCA Award Nominations Include 'Breaking Bad', 'Homeland'
The Television Critics Association has announced its nominations for the 28th Annual TCA Awards, honoring television programs and stars in the genres of drama, comedy, news, reality, and children's entertainment. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Showtime's 2011 hit Homeland tops the list with four nominations — one specifically for star Claire Danes. Other unsurprising dramas with multiple nominations include the hard-hitting wonder Breaking Bad (about to enter the first half of its final season) and its intriguing AMC colleague Mad Men, as well as the HBO phenomenon Game of Thrones.
In the realm of comedy, cult frenzies like Community, Parks and Recreation, and Louie earned due nods. Additionally, the terrifically authentic Girls and the terrifically whimsical New Girl earned recognition in the Outstanding New Program category.

Ronald Dworkin Has Died
A sad report. For those of you who don't know know, Ronald Dworkin was one of the most prominent American political philosophers of the later 20th century. In the minds of some, he was second only to Rawls. Dworkin was especially prominent for his famous debate with H.L.A. Hart on the nature of law and legal interpretation, his prominent role in the "Equality of What?" debate (as the defender of the equality of resources view) and his defense of luck egalitarianism.
Save Rawls's death, Dworkin's passing is perhaps the major event in the passing of the Rawls generation into the history books. I understand the Rawls generation to include those egalitarian liberal political philosophers who rose to prominence soon after Rawls led the revival of political philosophy in analytic philosophy (Dworkin's famous Taking Rights Seriously was published in 1978, only seven years after A Theory of Justice). The Rawls generation has had extraordinary influence over the direction of the profession and will surely be remembered as such.
I have spent a lot of time with Dworkin's work, especially with Sovereign Virtue and Justice for Hedgehogs. I am not sure I had ever agreed with him on, well, anything, but I have learned a great deal from his work.
Fernando Teson
I second Kevin. Ronald Dworkin had great influence in my thinking, even while I much disagreed. A true giant.
Daniel Shapiro
I also second (or perhaps I should say "third." Dworkin had a significant influence on my thinking and I hope to write a blog post on his contribution to BHL thought. Those who have read my book know that I think the Dworkinian version of egalitarianism can provide significant support for market based institutions.
Tibor Machan
One of my fondest memories is a long car trip with Dworkin, Raz, Nozick and Wasserstrom in Boston, from the APA hotel to a restaurant. I was driving and the chatter was memorable.
Daniel Shapiro
Wow, what a car trip!

The impact of cash-benefit reform on parents' labour force participation
This paper evaluates the impact of a recent Norwegian family-policy reform. The reform provides benefits of up to NOK 3,000 (approximately € 400) per month to families with one- to three-year-old children, who do not utilize state-subsidized day-care centres. We investigate the reform's effect on parents' labour force participation. We find that, on average, the reform reduced women's labour force participation and increased the specialization of work between couples. We find that the effect of the reform depends on women's schooling. Specifically, the labour force participation of highly educated mothers fell by more than that of mothers with less education.
