Tomsik Says Czech Rate Raise May Be Delayed by Euro Debt Crisis
The Czech central bank may be able to delay an increase in its interest rates as the euro-area's debt crisis may keep the region's borrowing costs lower for longer, Vice-Governor Vladimir Tomsik said.
Tomsik spoke in a July 25 interview on developments in the Czech economy and commented on proposed changes to the regulatory framework of the financial industry.
On growth and inflation:
"It's evident that since the latest forecast from May, demand from Germany for Czech exports has been surprising on the positive side. Germany is growing more than Consensus Forecast initially predicted, therefore, the Czech GDP growth forecast for this year can be expected to be revised upwards.
''The previous GDP forecast was for about 1.5 percent this year, based on an assumption, taken from Consensus Forecast, that the German economy will expand by about 2.5 percent. At present, Consensus Forecast shows Germany should grow almost by 3.5 percent this year.
''Germany accounts for about half of Czech exports to the effective euro-area, which describes the main Czech trading partners in the euro zone.
''As Germany is now forecast to grow one percentage point faster, that means the Czech economy should grow about a half-percentage point faster.
''The question I'm asking is whether this higher growth is pro-inflationary or not. If it was pro-inflationary, then we would need to react. But it seems to me that up to now the main driver of GDP growth are net exports, which is supporting koruna appreciation and thus taming inflationary pressures. I don't see domestic demand-driven inflationary pressure so far.
''Wage growth in the Czech economy is under control and it corresponds to increasing labor productivity. The fact that wage growth is currently tamed is not that surprising because the crisis has diminished the cushion for the corporate sector and it doesn't have financial resources for more significant salary increases.
''So even when the GDP forecast is raised to about 2 percent for this year, I'm convinced that such growth would be below the potential output of the Czech economy. That's why GDP growth isn't creating inflationary pressures.
''I personally expect that the inflation outlook, adjusted for the impact of the prepared changes to the value-added tax, will show price growth should be near to our inflation target.
''Commodity prices are a shock reflected in the headline inflation rate, but core inflation still remains negative. The energy-price shock is beginning to gradually fade away, and food prices are also beginning to decrease.
''If I see signals that the headline inflation rate, after the impact of the VAT increase, is influencing inflation expectations, then we would need to act immediately. But history has shown that previous VAT increases had very limited impact on inflation expectations. Our current surveys show that inflation expectations are so far very well anchored.
''A VAT increase is primarily reflected in headline inflation, but it also reduces disposable income of households, and thus becomes and an anti-inflationary factor too.''
On monetary policy and risk scenarios:
''The most delicate task is to detect the turning point for monetary policy. At the moment, the turning point we are approaching is probably for higher interest rates, and now the debate is centered on finding this turning point.
''Interest-rate differential is a very strong channel we include in our forecasts. The more important factor is that the differential between the market rates in the Czech Republic and the euro zone is much narrower than the spread between the policy rates.
''Market rates are more important for the real economy, and euro-area rates are now significantly influenced by the current debt crisis. The Euribor is low, while there is still a risk premium in the Czech money market, so the differential between the market rates is not that wide as between the policy rates.
''If the euro-area debt problems escalate and the outlook for market interest rates shows slower upwards dynamics than what would be natural for an economic recovery, then the resulting narrower interest-rate differential may be supporting for the koruna and tame inflation pressures in the Czech Republic.
''On the other hand, an eventual weakening of the euro-area's demand for Czech products would negatively affect our net exports, leading to currency depreciation and pro-inflationary pressures.
''Uncertainties are great and the questions is which of these two channels of external risks will prevail.
''Right now, I personally see weak domestic-demand pressures, GDP driven by exports and the lower path of euro-area market interest rates as key starting points for our forecast. The forecast for euro-area market interest rates moved downward already in the previous monetary policy meeting in June and the outlook has since moved even further downward. At present, it seems that the first channel, with the lower path of euro zone market interest rates, is materializing.
''Growth in Germany is accelerating, but the market rates are affected by the debt problems in some euro countries and this has pushed the Euribor outlook down.
''This may be one of the reasons for some delay in raising interest rates in the Czech Republic.
''Until now, we have said the turning point may come in the third or the fourth quarter. The previous forecast showed the average market interest rates rising from the fourth quarter, which didn't rule out raising the policy rate already in August. But in the current situation, when I consider the effect of the lower outlook for euro-area market rates, the turning point may be pushed back.
''I can't rule out the turning point will come this year. Nor can I rule out that it will come next year. With the degree of uncertainty we're facing at the moment, nothing can be ruled out.
''Investors appear to be noticing the developments with market rates in the euro area and market expectations of higher Czech interest rates have also moved downward to reflect that. The Czech forward rate agreements are now even below our previous forecast from May.''
On financial regulation:
''The key issue for us is that in a situation when the home and host regulators don't agree on something, the power to decide isn't given to the European Banking Authority.
''Banks incorporated in the Czech Republic hold assets against liabilities formed by deposits of Czech depositors that are insured by the Deposit Guarantee Fund and effectively guaranteed by the Czech Finance Ministry.
''It's not possible for a supranational institution such as EBA to decide that, when needed, these assets, this liquidity, may be transferred outside without a proper compensation. We insist that this can only happen when both the home and host supervisors agree on such transfer. We need to see that the assets coming here are adequate and liquid, because if there is a problem, it will be the Czech state paying the bill for assets that may become worthless.
''The main principle that must be respected is that the one who pays, must also have the decisive supervisory powers.
''When you allow a split of the supervisory powers from the individual competent supervisor responsibility, you might not stop or eliminate the economic crisis, but paradoxically you may end up spreading the crisis further to other countries through the banking channel.''

Sad? With my Vibrant on 7.2mbps HSPA 3G the fastest I've gotten is 5851kbps. My friends Epic 4G the fastest he's quoted to me he's gotten a 7650kbps on Sprints 4G Wimax. The first pictures I saw of the G2 was a guy getting 15.5mbps down. So I disagree with your statement about their naming scheme being sad.

I talked to a T-Mobile sales person yesterday and he said that the Mytouch/Mytouch HD is actually going to be called the Mytouch Emerald. Probably the "Project Emerald" that has been rumored to be in production.

Reverse Shots
Indigenous Film and Media in an International Context
Paper 392 pp.
Release Date:
Online discount: 25%
$42.99 $32.24
From the dawn of cinema, images of Indigenous peoples have been dominated by Hollywood stereotypes and often negative depictions from elsewhere around the world. With the advent of digital technologies, however, many Indigenous peoples are working to redress the imbalance in numbers and counter the negativity.
The contributors to Reverse Shots offer a unique scholarly perspective on current work in the world of Indigenous film and media. Chapters focus primarily on Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and cover areas as diverse as the use of digital technology in the creation of Aboriginal art, the healing effects of Native humour in First Nations documentaries, and the representation of the pre-colonial in films from Australia, Canada, and Norway.
Wendy Gay Pearson is an associate professor in the Department of Women's Studies and Feminist Research at Western University in London, Ontario. Her current research project involves the impact of modes of distribution on the politics and aesthetics of Indigenous film. She is co-editing a volume on the politics of representation of Indigenous girls and women.
Susan Knabe is an associate professor in both Media Studies and Women's Studies at the Western University in London, Ontario. Her research covers the construction of gender and sexuality in discourses of health and disease as well as the representation of gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity in film and media. Her forthcoming book is titled Affective Traces: AIDS Cultural Production and the Legacy of the Holocaust.
"Running the spectrum from the chapter by Michael Greyeyes 'He Who Dreams: Reflections on an Indigenous Life in Film', to the healing humor from Drew Hayden Taylor's 'Redskins, Tricksters and Puppy Stew', to pre-colonial representations in 'Atanarjuat', and '10 Canoes' this volume fascinates, educates, and leaves you wanting more.... Highly recommended for all Tribal Colleges, four year colleges and universities, and any institution or research center which deals with Indigenous people."
— John D. Berry, Past President, American Indian Library Association

EPS beat by 12 cents, much better cash flow, enrollments way better than analysts' expectations.
On top of that ESI is one of the most shorted stocks. Yes, shorts made a lot of money, but they will have to pay higher to exit their positions.
weeks, not days
with 3.5-4$ eps for the year this stock can easly double
There is a fair amount of fundamental value here, and I hope for everyone elses' sake that it converts to increased share price (I sold my shares last week). I just cannot help but call people out on a bold, but wild, speculation on the price and timing ... especially when that person is calling out shorts for their speculation.
Accountability is (or should be) a part of participating on a message board.
There is a good chance this stock hasn't seen its bottom yet.
Do you care to revise your prediction?

Legendary actress was avid arts advocate
Kitty Carlisle Hart, a stage actress who worked in film and opera before becoming a TV gameshow staple — and then revitalized her career in her 90s with one-woman shows — died Wednesday in New York. She was 96.
Son Christopher Hart said his mother had been in and out of the hospital since contracting pneumonia over the Christmas holidays. "She passed away peacefully" at home, Hart said. "She had such a wonderful life, and a great long run, it was a blessing."
Hart did a 12-year stint on the popular gameshow "To Tell the Truth" that began two decades after she had made her debuts on Broadway and in film.
She began her acting career on Broadway in "Champagne Sec" and went on to appear in many other Broadway productions, including the 1984 revival of "On Your Toes."
Carlisle Hart's film career began in 1934, in "Murder at the Vanities."
The following year, she was cast as Rosa Castaldi in the Marx Brothers movie "A Night at the Opera." It was the brothers' sixth film and their first for MGM, where they shifted after their career at Paramount sagged at the box office. MGM's Irving Thalberg added more romance to the Marx Brothers formula, bringing in Carlisle and Allan Jones to play the young opera singers in love, and the film became a huge hit.
Later film credits included "She Loves Me Not" and "Here Is My Heart," both opposite Bing Crosby; Woody Allen's "Radio Days"; and "Six Degrees of Separation."
Carlisle Hart made her operatic debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1967 in "Die Fledermaus" and created the role of Lucretia in the American premiere of Benjamin Britten's "Rape of Lucretia."
From 1956-67, she appeared on the CBS primetime gameshow "To Tell the Truth" with host Bud Collyer and fellow panelists such as Polly Bergen, Johnny Carson, Bill Cullen and Don Ameche. Hart was the only panelist to appear in every episode; she also appeared on several later incarnations of the gameshow in syndication and daytime.
The gamer featured three contestants, all claiming to be the same person, and three panelists asking them questions to determine which was telling the truth. She also appeared as a guest panelist on "What's My Line?" and "I've Got a Secret."
Carlisle Hart was born Catherine Conn in New Orleans. Her mother believed that sending her to Europe would get her hitched with a proper gentleman; instead, she was educated at the Sorbonne, the London School of Economics and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London before returning home to work as an actress.
Hart's late husband was Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Moss Hart, who wrote "You Can't Take It With You" and "The Man Who Came to Dinner" with George S. Kaufman, and won a Tony for directing "My Fair Lady" on Broadway.
She and Hart married in 1946, and had Christopher and a daughter, Catherine, in 1950. Moss Hart died in 1961 at age 57.
The elegant, sophisticated entertainer was also a tireless advocate for the arts, serving on the New York State Council on the Arts from 1971-96, including 20 years as its chair. In 1988 she testified in Albany to a legislative committee amid complaints that the council had funded gay-oriented projects.
"We fund art," she said. "We are neutral as far as anyone else is concerned. We don't fund anyone's point of view."
In 1991, she received the National Medal of Arts from President George H.W. Bush.
She was once asked which she loved more — the movies or television.
"I think television had more of an influence on my life than the movies, because with television, you came into somebody's home," Carlisle Hart replied. "People remember me from television. They don't even remember me from 'A Night at the Opera.' They have no idea that I played the lead and did all the singing. But they do remember television, particularly 'To Tell the Truth.' "
She wrote her autobiography, "Kitty," in 1984.
At the age of 94, she started performing one woman shows on the history of musical theater. Her performances were staged in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco; she was booked to perform in Atlanta in November. Daily Variety critic Bob Verini wrote of her August perf: "Hart's program of song standards and reminiscence is unforgettable, not because she's performing it, but because she's performing it with such rare grace and luminous artistry."
Besides Christopher and Catherine, survivors include three grandchildren.

Tasting Notes
Very shiny, pale salmon-pink robe with a pretty iridescent shimmer. Fresh and lively bouquet, with fairly powerful aromas of yellow fruit and citrus zests. Frank, complex and seductive in the mouth, with a long, smooth finish. A pleasure-filled, summertime rose.
Food Pairing
Perfect served with little grilled red mullet (ungutted), vegetable tian, octopus salad or spiny artichokes with basil.

If you're like me, you have a lot of protein samples laying around. They're great for travelling, but sometimes they just get tossed into a drawer and forgotten. Today, I was craving brownies, and found a sample size packet of Amazing Grass Amazing Meal Café Mocha, so I figured, why not throw together some protein brownies? Here's what I did:
Protein Brownie Bites
(Vegan, Gluten Free, Oil Free, No Added Sugar)(makes 8 brownie bites)
- 12 pitted medjool dates
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 15 oz. can of black beans (unsalted), rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plant milk of choice
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 sample size packet (or 1 scoop) of Amazing Meal Cafe Mocha (you can use another flavor, or another brand of vegan protein, but macro nutrient information won't be exact)
- 2 tbsp. carob powder (you can also use cocoa or cacao, but again, macros won't be exact)
- 1/4 cup Arrowhead Mills Organic Gluten-Free Pancake Baking Mix
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cover dates with warm water in your blender. Allow to soak about 10 minutes.
- When dates are softened, add the half can of beans, plant milk, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. You may have to scrape down the sides a few times.
- Add protein powder, carob, and gluten free baking mix. Blend again until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
- In your silicone muffin pan, scoop out 8 muffins. If you don't have a silicone muffin pan, regular is fine, but you will have to spray them with baking spray or wipe a little bit of coconut oil inside to assure that they do not stick.
- Bake for 20 minutes, checking at about 15 minutes.

Since February 5th, millions of Americans have experienced football withdrawals.
For the first time in 22 weeks, there was no football.
No fantasy lineups were set. No pre-game shows were filmed. No dramatic game-winning drives were engineered. There was nothing.
But with the finale of one season comes the beginning of another: draft season.
The 2012 NFL Draft season is about to kick into full gear. Sure, watching college prospects run around in compression shorts doesn't exactly compare to the gut-wrenching drama of your average NFL Sunday, but it does keep us entertained until training camps get underway.
So, here's a mock draft to help ease the pain of those withdrawals.
Stay strong, NFL fans. Stay strong.

|Climate scientist
Dr. Andrew J. Weaver is a Canadian climate scientist and politician representing the riding of Oak Bay-Gordon Head in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Weaver is the leader of the Green Party of British Columbia.
Weaver was born in Victoria, British Columbia, and graduated from Oak Bay High School in 1979. He received a B.Sc in mathematics and physics from the University of Victoria in 1983, a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Mathematics (Master of Advanced Study) from Cambridge University in 1984, and a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of British Columbia in 1987.[1]
After finishing his PhD, Weaver worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Mathematics at the University of New South Wales in Australia in 1988 and in the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean at the University of Washington in Seattle in 1989.[2] Prior to joining the University of Victoria in 1992 he spent three years as an assistant professor in the department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at McGill University.[2] Weaver is the Landsdowne Professor and was the Canada Research Chair in climate modelling and analysis in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria, where he has worked for over 20 years.[3]
Weaver has chaired or served as a member of numerous local, national and international committees. From 2003-2004 he was president of the Victoria Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (VCPAC).[4] In 2004-2005 he was president of the University of Victoria Faculty Association and served as their chief negotiator in the 2003 and 2006 collective bargaining. Weaver has been engaged in public outreach and science communication. He sat on the CRD Roundtable on the Environment and has delivered numerous public and school presentations and hosted many school field trips to his university laboratory over his career.[4] He continues to lead the development of the Vancouver Island School Based weather station project.[5]
Weaver has authored or coauthored over 200 peer-reviewed papers in climate, meteorology, oceanography, earth science, policy, education and anthropology journals.[6] He was a lead author in the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th scientific assessments.[7] He was the chief editor of the Journal of Climate from 2005-2009.
Honours and awards[edit]
Weaver is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, the American Geophysical Union,[8] the American Meteorological Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[9]
Over the years he has received numerous awards including the E.W.R. NSERC Steacie Fellowship in 1997, the Killam Research Fellowship and a CIAR Young Explorers award as one of the top 20 scientists in Canada under the age of 40 in 2002,[10] the CMOS President's Prize in 2007, a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2008 and the Royal Society of Canada Miroslaw Romanowski Medal and the A.G. Huntsman Award for Excellence in Marine Science in 2011. In 2008 he was appointed to the Order of British Columbia[7] and in 2013 he was awarded a Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal.
His book, Keeping our Cool: Canada in a Warming World was published by Viking Canada in September 2008 (ISBN 978-0-670-06800-5). His second book, Generation Us: The Challenge of Global Warming was published by Raven Books in 2011 (ISBN 978-1-55469-804-2).[1]
Weaver joined the British Columbia Green Party in October 2012 as the party's deputy leader and candidate for the riding of Oak Bay-Gordon Head.[11] He was elected in the 2013 provincial election as the first Green Party MLA in British Columbia's history.[12]
Since his running for office, Weaver has been a strong supporter of the development of the clean technology industry and a firm critic of the Liberal government's liquefied natural gas strategy. Weaver calls the LNG plan a "pipe-dream", asserting that Liberal government promises of a $1 trillion boost to the provincial GDP, a $100 billion prosperity fund, and the elimination of the provincial debt and sales tax are unsubstantiated and irresponsible.[13] Weaver has also been involved in several local issues, most recently calling for a reconsideration of the Capital Regional District's sewage treatment plan in 2013.[14]
In August 2013, Weaver chose not to take on leadership of the B.C. Green Party stating: "I have an ambitious agenda for my term as MLA and achieving this requires focus and hard work. I consider it in the best interests of my constituents, the party and the province if, for now, I focus on my role as MLA and support a new interim leader who can concentrate on building the party."[15]
However, Weaver also stated that if he decides to re-run in the 2017 provincial election and is still the only elected B.C. Green Party MLA, he would then seek leadership of the party.[16]
On 24 November 2015 Weaver announced his bid to run for leader of the British Columbia Green Party.[17][18] He was acclaimed to this position on December 9, 2015.[19]
Lawsuit over libelous National Post articles[edit]
The British Columbia Supreme Court ruled that Dr. Weaver had been libelled in a series of National Post articles written by Terence Corcoran, Peter Foster and Kevin Libin that accused him of scientific misconduct in his studies of climate change, among other claims. In Weaver v. Corcoran[20] the court ruled that the charges were false and that ″the defamation in this case was serious. It offended Dr. Weaver's character and the defendants refused to publish a retraction″. The court awarded Weaver $50,000 in damages, ordered that the offending articles be removed from the newspaper's archives and that a complete retraction be published. The National Post is appealing the decision.[21][22]
Documentary film[edit]
Weaver is featured in the documentary film Running on Climate. Filming began before Weaver was nominated as a candidate and continued through the election campaign.[23]
Criticism of the Green Party of Canada[edit]
Weaver criticized The Green Party of Canada after the GPC passed a Boycott, Divest and Sanction policy resolution applicable against Israel with the aim of resisting the illegal occupation of Palestinian territory and ongoing human rights violations. Weaver stated that the resolution was against "green values" and suggested that such a resolution against "green values" should not have even been considered at the Green Party of Canada's convention in August of 2016.

PLATTEVILLE - Five fire departments responded to a mulch storage fire Tuesday afternoon near U.S. 85 in Platteville.
According to Platteville-Gilcrest Fire Protection District Chief Gary Sandau, the fire burned for more than three hours. No injuries were incurred and a damage estimate wasn't expected to be available until Wednesday.
Firefighters and water trucks were imported from the La Salle, Frederick-Firestone, Fort Lupton and Milliken fire departments, in addition to Platteville-Gilcrest.
The large pile of redwood mulch - which stretched for a couple hundred yards - spontaneously combusted, sparking the fire. High winds produced problems for the 35 firefighters on scene. Front-end loaders were brought in to cut the pile in an effort to save as much mulch as possible.

[T]he listing describes it like some kind of treasure or rare find.But by hitting a new low in the past 6 years' worth of local real estate sales, we're now prepared to say that maybe Maple was amazing, in its own way, after all.
It's "Right near the BEACH!"
The home is "Amazing."
It's even "walking distance to the Manhattan Beach Village Shopping Center."
Check out the listing pics yourself. It's an old place with a weird, wood-paneled kitchen with avocado appliances, featuring cheap carpets and blinds in the bedrooms and living areas. Not amazing.

Yeah, I noticed that Valve hadn't released Half-Life 2: Episode 3 when I visited their website yesterday. Episode 2 was given to the public back in October of 2007, so in a couple of months, it will have been 6 years since Valve has released a title in the Half-Life franchise. I don't really mind though, I'd rather have them take their time and put out a very good game then rush the development and put out a mediocre game. After all, it was around 6 years after the release of the first Half-Life game that the second one came out, and everyone seems to love that game.
Would you recommend Half-Life and/or Half-Life 2? - Page 2

I really don´t think they work to hard on HL 3. I mean Gabe has complainted about how much it sucks developing games. They rather buy in mod teams to do games for them like CS, Portal series, TF 2 and what not instead of making HL 3 and develope their Steam service. Steam box on it´s way too. But of course it will come at some point.
It´s not like Half Life is expensive to get these days. Why not just buy it and try it out? Games is more then the sonical cues. If the game is really good you tend to forget being over critical about visuals or sounds. I don´t feel HL is a must play though can just start off with HL 2 if you want. May not be so impressed with HL if you don´t have the nostalgia factor going for you.
I recently replayed System Shock 2. Highly recommended. It´s better then Irrational Games Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite in more ways then they are worse.
Portal and Portal 2 was a bit to booring and repetitive for me.

Yeah I agree with oqvist, gameplay matters more with games. Your eyes/ears come accustomed after the initial "wow this looks/sounds awful" and you will become engrossed in what your playing if the game itself is good. System Shock 2 is a perfect example as is the Baldurs Gate series. If it's all about visuals/sound then Crysis comes to mind and for me that game is nice visually but it gets boring fast with no depth in the gameplay at all IMO.

Yeah I'll take quality over timeliness any day. If HL3 is as big of a step up as HL2 was I'm gonna be blown away.
The thing that sucks though is that Ep2 ends in a cliff hanger.

I enjoyed the whole series of Half life, one of my favorites indeed. Sucks that Valve hasn't released the next episode, been waiting for years now.
Rumors say that HL3 is coming with a kickass graphic engine.
I just watched a short youtube video that compared the original Half-Life game and the Black Mesa mod and I gotta say: this mod has piqued my interest.
cause of the new steam trading card beta that was just implemented, I reinstalled Half Life 2 and gave it a shot again. I forgot how much fun this game is. I can definitely say that its one that has aged well over the years, its still as fun now as it was nearly a decade ago.

I'd recommend you play both! You'll probably get a whole lot out of playing both of the games and if you play them in order then you might get more out the advancements in Half Life 2.

I still remember when HF2 first came out and I went to buy it right away as a big valve fan. It was a long time ago but oh man it was epic.
Yes, in fact I'm playing Half-Life right now. Unfortunately I encountered a glitch half way through the game where all the audio cuts off and I have no idea how to fix this. I might just start over but play Black Mesa instead.
That sucks, are you playing HL:Source or the original?
I always had a million saves in HL since it was so damn hard, so I could always roll back on those if anything bad happens. Which I don't remember any game breaking glitches occurring in the 4-5 times I've played through it.
No, it's the original version. And even when I go back to a previous save it still cuts off the sound near the same area. I think it may be caused by one of the upgraded sound packs that I installed from this page:
I also encountered glitch before that where one of the gates that was suppose to open, didn't, so I had to use cheats to hover myself over it.
I would try verifying the integrity of the game's cache on Steam, if no luck there just re-install after you saved your saves(I'm guessing HL is cloud supported). I'd say the sound pack is the likely culprit so if you can just re-install that or remove it I'd try that first.
I just now decided to start downloading Black Mesa. I'm sorry, this is probably a stupid question but can I use an Xbox 360 wireless controller to play pc games like Black Mesa on my computer? I've never really played any video games on pc before up until just a couple of days ago so this is a new experience for me. Maybe if I kept playing pc games with my keyboard and mouse I would get used to the setup but right now whenever I play Battlefield 3 on my pc it is a struggle for me to play the game competently. I'm much more accustomed to using a controller.
PS: The process of putting Black Mesa on my computer is a pain in the butt.

10/19/2015 Update: TechCrunch has reported that Pinterest is forecasting its 2016 revenue to be about $169 million and upwards of $2.8 billion by 2018. Still, as of today there is no news whatsoever about Pinterest having an IPO but with the latest round of financing it has secured, it is only a matter of time before that happens. It is estimated that Pinterest would be valued at close to $11 billion dollars should it decide to have an IPO. So, if you are interested in buying Pinterest stock, you will have to wait until sometime in 2016 before it actually goes public.
It looks like the next high profile social media company to have an IPO could be Pinterest. Investors who are thinking ahead are trying to figure out how to buy Pinterest shares at the IPO price and if they can't do that, should they still buy the stock when the company opens for trading the first day? Lets take a look at what has been happening so far.
Will Pinterest Be Next?
People want to buy Pinterest stock because the platform has soared in popularity and is totally different from Twitter and Facebook. That is a key: being different than the rest. Of course Pinterest needs to figure out how to make money, but that seems to be a minor stepping stone in the current world of Internet social media IPOs. Pinterest raised $225 million dollars in late 2013, another $200 million more in May 2014, and now another $367 million in March 2015. They have also said they are planning on raising another $210 million in the coming months.
All this for a visual search engine company that just started thinking about making money by showing ads on their site in September 2013. That means they are busy trying to become a viable business and the question isn't If they will go public but when it will happen.
How To Buy Pinterest Stock
Just like the IPO's of Alibaba, Facebook, and Twitter it will be virtually impossible for any individual investors to get in on the ground floor of a Pinterest IPO. Only those who have the right connections or have some long standing relationship with a broker will be able to get shares before the public can. That means for individual investors like you and I, buying the stock on the open market once the stock goes public will be the only option.
To do that you should plan in advance and sign up with a discount stock broker. TradeKing is great for investors of any level and they charge a low fee of just $4.95 per stock trade. That is one half the amount many of the others charge. Why pay more when you can sign up to the highly rated TradeKing platform and pay less?
**Signing up to any online broker is free and shouldn't take more than 30 minutes. Once you put all your information in, you will need to put money into the account you just opened so that you are ready to buy Pinterest stock once it goes public. Of course you can buy and sell any other stock as well through your new broker account.
Don't Buy Pinterest Stock Right Away
By the time the Pinterest IPO happens which would be sometime in 2016 or later, investors will have had ample time to see how Facebook and Twitter stock have fared. If they are both down, why would Pinterest be any different? Perhaps then it would be a sign to steer clear and not buy the stock. If you do decide to buy, be aware that buying any IPO the first day is risky and especially so for popular and highly publicized stocks like Pinterest might be.
As I right this, Facebook stock is near an all time high and Twitter stock is in big trouble, down from its IPO price. What you might learn from this is that waiting to buy might be the smart thing to do when it comes to IPO's. Wait for the euphoria to settle down and see whether investors are still as excited about the stock in a week or a month as they were on opening day. Most of the time you can get in cheaper somewhere down the road than you can on that first day.

The Coma Recovery Scale Revised (CRS-R) is considered as the most sensitive scale to assess patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC). Guidelines recommend repeated assessments because patients might suffer from consciousness fluctuations, but it is not specified how many assessments are needed. The present study included 131 patients with DOC. They have been assessed at least 6 times during a 14-days period with the CRS-R. Results show that 5 CRS-R assessments are needed to reach a reliable diagnosis, and that all the CRS-R subscales are influenced by consciousness fluctuations. We here showed that consciousness fluctuations influence the behavioral diagnosis, and that 5 assessments within a short period of time are needed to get a reliable clinical diagnosis.

Loss of cortical integration and changes in the dynamics of electrophysiological brain signals characterize the transition from wakefulness towards unconsciousness. In this study, we arrive at a basic model explaining these observations based on the theory of phase transitions in complex systems. We studied the link between spatial and temporal correlations of large-scale brain activity recorded with functional magnetic resonance imaging during wakefulness, propofol-induced sedation and loss of consciousness and during the subsequent recovery. We observed that during unconsciousness activity in frontothalamic regions exhibited a reduction of long-range temporal correlations and a departure of functional connectivity from anatomical constraints. A model of a system exhibiting a phase transition reproduced our findings, as well as the diminished sensitivity of the cortex to external perturbations during unconsciousness. This framework unifies different observations about brain activity during unconsciousness and predicts that the principles we identified are universal and independent from its causes. © 2016 The Author(s) Published by the Royal Society.

OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to assess the clinical interest of the Nociception Coma Scale Revised (NCS-R) in pain management of patients with disorders of consciousness. METHODS: Thirty-nine patients with potential painful conditions (e.g., due to fractures, decubitus ulcers or spasticity) were assessed during nursing cares before and after the administration of an analgesic treatment tailored to each patient's clinical status. In addition to the NCS-R, the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was used before and during treatment in order to observe fluctuations in consciousness. Twenty-three of them had no analgesic treatment prior to the assessment whereas the analgesic treatment has been adapted in the other 16 patients. We performed non-parametric Wilcoxon tests to investigate the difference in the NCS-R and GCS total scores but also in the NCS-R subscores before versus during treatment. The effect of the level of consciousness and the etiology were assessed using a U Mann Whitney. RESULTS: NCS-R total scores were statistically lower during treatment when compared to the scores obtained before treatment. We also found that the motor, verbal and facial expression subscores were lower during treatment than before treatment. On the other hand, we found no difference between the GCS total scores obtained before versus during treatment. DISCUSSION: Our results suggest that the NCS-R is an interesting clinical tool for pain management. Besides, this tool seems useful when a balance is needed between reduced pain and preserved level of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness.

Introduction: The mildly invasive 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is a well-established imaging technique to measure 'resting state' cerebral metabolism. This technique made it possible to assess changes in metabolic activity in clinical applications, such as the study of severe brain injury and disorders of consciousness. Objective: We assessed the possi- bility of creating functional MRI activity maps, which could estimate the rela- tive levels of activity in FDG-PET cerebral metabolic maps. If no metabolic absolute measures can be extracted, our approach may still be of clinical use in centers without access to FDG-PET. It also overcomes the problem of recogniz- ing individual networks of independent component selection in functional mag- netic resonance imaging (fMRI) resting state analysis. Methods: We extracted resting state fMRI functional connectivity maps using independent component analysis and combined only components of neuronal origin. To assess neu- ronality of components a classification based on support vector machine (SVM) was used. We compared the generated maps with the FDG-PET maps in 16 healthy controls, 11 vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome patients and four locked-in patients. Results: The results show a significant similarity with q = 0.75 0.05 for healthy controls and q = 0.58 0.09 for vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome patients between the FDG- PET and the fMRI based maps. FDG-PET, fMRI neuronal maps, and the conjunction analysis show decreases in frontoparietal and medial regions in vegetative patients with respect to controls. Subsequent analysis in locked-in syndrome patients produced also consistent maps with healthy controls. Conclusions: The constructed resting state fMRI functional connectivity map points toward the possibility for fMRI resting state to estimate relative levels of activity in a metabolic map.

Background and Aim: There is a long history of brain stimulation in medical science, and it was tested for years trying to treat several neurological diseases. On the other hand, the treatment choices for patients with severe brain injury resulting in disorders of consciousness (DOC) are still limited and research in this field remains challenging. In the current literature, only a few techniques of brain stimulation were studied in this population of patients. This review describes noninvasive techniques, namely transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which permit to stimulate the brain through the scalp, as well as the current status of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as treatment for patients with DOC. For each technique (i.e. TMS, tDCS and DBS) a systematic search on Pubmed was performed including the term "vegetative state" or "minimally conscious state" or "disorders of consciousness" and 16 articles matched the criteria. Conclusion: Currently, repetitive TMS (rTMS) and tDCS studies have shown encouraging results, with transient improvements of behavioral signs of consciousness in patients in minimally conscious state (MCS). DBS showed more impressive and extensive behavioral improvement after the implantation of an electrical stimulator in the thalamus. However, this procedure is riskier and the number of patients who can benefit from this intervention is limited. All these therapeutic approaches are still in their infancy. In the years to follow, controlled clinical studies on potential treatments for patients with DOC should multiply and therapeutic measures should be more accessible, controlled and effective.

This paper studies the link between resting-state functional connectivity (FC), measured by the correlations of the fMRI BOLD time courses, and structural connectivity (SC), estimated through fiber tractography. Instead of a static analysis based on the correlation between SC and the FC averaged over the entire fMRI time series, we propose a dynamic analysis, based on the time evolution of the correlation between SC and a suitably windowed FC. Assessing the statistical significance of the time series against random phase permutations, our data show a pronounced peak of significance for time window widths around 20-30 TR (40-60 sec). Using the appropriate window width, we show that FC patterns oscillate between phases of high modularity, primarily shaped by anatomy, and phases of low modularity, primarily shaped by inter-network connectivity. Building upon recent results in dynamic FC, this emphasizes the potential role of SC as a transitory architecture between different highly connected resting state FC patterns. Finally, we show that networks implied in consciousness-related processes, such as the default mode network (DMN), contribute more to these brain-level fluctuations compared to other networks, such as the motor or somatosensory networks. This suggests that the fluctuations between FC and SC are capturing mind-wandering effects. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 95 (17 ULg)

West Seneca officials should help homeowners
Seventy homes need emergency help in West Seneca in a tax base of 19,000 homes. And the town does nothing.
In time of great emergency the airwaves are aflood (no pun intended) with sympathy for the those 70 home owners, and yet the town sits idly by and does nothing.
It's great that many local homeowners from within and from around pitch in to help. Try not paying your homeowner taxes and see how quickly the town comes down on you.
Why did the town not step up and help? How? By simply making some form of immediate cash advance to help furnaces and essential needs to be taken care of immediately. It would be simple to grant loans that could be secured by liens on those homes. These could be repaid by insurance and, where available, state aid. For those who do not qualify for either, secured loans could be recovered at some future sale of the home.
Is the town so distanced by its own good fortune of not being affected that officials are content to just stand by and join in the chorus of sympathy, while watching the horrendous suffering of its own taxpayers?
Some may say the town can't afford to help. Come on, 70 homes out of 19,000 need help. Town officials should be ashamed. How about West Seneca standing up and helping the people of West Seneca.

According to last years results the staffingservices, or PEO business, accounted for less than 10% ofWHC revenues and operated at a loss. Will WHCseriously expand this business? It could be a time toacquire others at distressed levels. A solid canidatemight be STFF. Such a merger would leap WHC to thefront of PEO's nationwide and give balance to the heavycorrections business. In addition WHC might be able to crosssell some of it's protection business to the smallbusinesses that engage in employee leasing. Any thoughts?

Man charged with baseball bat assaultJuly 24,2013Charge is denied
in assault with bat
A man who allegedly struck another man multiple times with an aluminum baseball bat during a fight Monday in Poultney denied a felony charge in Rutland criminal court Tuesday.
Timothy S. Petty, 46, of Poultney pleaded innocent to aggravated assault, which carries a potential 15-year jail sentence.
Judge Theresa DiMauro released Petty on a $5,000 unsecured bond and on court-ordered conditions that he stay away from Eugene Webster, the man he allegedly hit with the bat.
Vermont State Police said they arrested Petty after a fight in front of his home on Maple Street in Poultney at around 6:15 p.m. Monday.
