The 3DS is not on life support nor will it ever be until the new generation comes in 6-7 years from now. And overpriced games? yeah then I guess you think console games are ****ing ridiculous prices? XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 games rarely dip below $60 before tax. Yet you're whining about a $40 pricetag? What? do you want them to just hand you the game? Oh, sure, iPhone and such have much much lower prices but they aren't the developers of the games having to send them to stores, put them on cartridges, etc. So the prices are fine. If they're bad they'll drop soon enough.

Massive price cut in the first few months is what we call lifesupport...

We won't know whether it's dying or not till the holidays. :/
If it fails to perform, even with 2 Mario games, then it's pretty much dead.
But if it doesn't, then you can laugh at everyone who disagrees with you in this topic.
My 3DS FC is 4854-6508-4956.
Let me know if you want to add me so I can add you. :)
They arent saying its dead, they are just predicting the future after decades of patterns in videogames.
Epic price drop this quickly after launch aren't a great sign. It can go either way, the price drop could help around the holidays once they get more games out, or the system may never end up being that successful due to the fact that it's just way too similar to the original DS which so many people already own.
One free month of PSN+, and all I have to do is hand over my personal info to hackers? That sounds like a sweet deal, where do I sign? -- 3DS 1504-5688-7256
This sounds like a reassurance topic though. TC spends $250 on a handheld, he likes it, and is in denial now that it's not doing well, praying that it lasts and doesnt die within a year or 2.

It is way too early to call the 3DS dead, I agree the holiday season will tell the tale.
someone tried to call this a reassurance topic, I think perhaps they're trying to reassure themselves about the Vita.

Stop being in denial, buddy. An early price cut is unusual and desperate. I have a 3DS like everyone else on here and I'm not in denial.
IamDodongo 5 years ago#9
Since when did an aggressive business tactic to get things rolling = dying?
I don't think the 3DS is dead, just not in the right track and hear is my 2 ina half cents on why Nintendo [Beep] up.
$250 was absurd. Nintendo confused excitement with blindness. Nintendo gauged public reaction and thought that they can create a price point to match that enthusiasm. That might have worked 6 years ago, but in today's world filled with cell phone gaming, earthquakes and failing economies, it just won't pan out.
-When I buy a new handheld or console, I love buying a whole lot of games to keep me busy. Nintendo, a game maker, thought it would be a fine idea to mess that up at the 3DS's launch. First they gave us Steel Diver, which is just a very, very boring tech demo that has NONE of the Nintendo charm you would expect from a game with their name on it. Then Pilot Wings, a game which should have had all of their muscle thrown behind it. Instead it was just a lazy, slapped together mess that borrowed the entire island of Wii Sports Resort, and threw in a few challenges that can be beaten in 2 hours.
"But great games are to come! Just you wait! We have Ocarina of Time 3D! And Star Fox 3D! And...Uhhhh Mario at some point!! And....Uhhhh....Mario Kart at some point too!! And...uhhhhh.....Kid Icarus some time next year!!!" Without having a solid line-up of games, Nintendo shot itself in the foot before the damn console even launched. And by allowing the 3rd party developers to release nothing but Ports (I'm looking at you Ubisoft and don't think your off the hook Splinter Cell I will get to you later) you cemented your system early on as a dumping ground for half baked games and ports.
-I should be playing dozens of classic NES, SNES, AND GBA games right now. You're sitting on a gold mine. Do you think that by spacing out these releases you are going to keep us on the hook? The fact that you admitted all 10 of the classic GBA games that you're giving to early adopters are never actually going to be sold on the platform is heart breaking. Without coming out and saying it, you've admitted that GBA classics are not coming to the 3DS.
Next time Nintendo, don't release your new system this early like March, just wait until like Nov or Dec for the Holiday seasons.
And I still say Han Solo Shot First.

Conceding the obvious, CBS says efforts to get viewers to come to its Web site to view video have been a failure. The new strategy at Black Rock is to syndicate CBS video content to the greatest possible extent, network execs told the Wall Street Journal.
Not coincidentally, CBS's expanded content to sites from AOL to Joost, debuts this week when the networks are looking to unload as much ad inventory as possible during the kickoff of the upfront season. CBS hasn't gained much traction online compared with the other networks, in no small part due to its older audience, which doesn't inhabit the Internet as much as the younger set.
Who sells the ads — and keeps the biggest slice of that revenue — is very much at stake. The Yahoos of the world would like nothing more than to sell the ads against the content of CBS and the other networks. TV is happy to send over the programs, but wants almost all of the ad sales in return.
CBS will let advertisers tweak their ads to fit the 10 or so different sites in the CBS Interactive Audience Network, according to the Journal story. The internal code name for CBS's new strategy: "Rolling Thunder."
An also-ran in the ratings race for key demographics that advertisers will pay up for, CBS is betting the storm clouds will clear enough to bring more (and younger) viewers online, and to its broadcast shows.
The network doesn't have a lot of other choices to monetize its content online. A Forrester report just out notes that the paid video content market is a dead end and ad-supported models will continue to gain.

Tanzania can rightly lay claim to some of the very best game areas in Africa. For the best game areas within Northern Tanzania we'd recommend that you beging by looking at Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Loliondo, although Lake Manyara and even Arusha National Park also deserve consideration. When it comes to sheer volume and variety of game, the Serengeti is extremely hard to beat. Host to the wildebeest migration it has much more besides with varied landscapes. It excels year round but to ensure the best possible experience you have to understand the dynamics of the broader area.
Ngorongoro Crater offers amazing landscapes and phenomenal concentrations and diversity of both game and birdlife within a fascinating mini ecosystem. It offers wonderful flowers in late April and May but it can be cold in June and July. The area is hugely popular so it's worth timing your visit carefully and seriously considering the off season (mid March to late May) to best appreciate this area in some semblance of privacy.
Tarangire is renowned for its elephant herds and is particularly good through the dry season, between July and late October, when the Tarangire river is one of the few sources of permanent water in the area and attracts sizeable herds of zebra and wildebeest as well as buffalo. The Piaya area of Loliondo, the Gol Mountains and Salei Plain are at their very best from February through to early May. You can expect rain at this time, sporadic but sometimes heavy but this brings crystal clear air and when Angata Kiti and the Salei Plains are green and game rich its a very tough game experience to beat. There are usually very few people around at this time and some great walking opportunities.
Manyara is small, can be busy in parts but with a wonderful diversity and great opportunities for up close game action. We often suggest Arusha National Park for a day or two at the start of a safari - wonderful for its forest species (including surprisingly relaxed colobus) as well as lots of giraffe and good birds around its many lakes.
Southern Tanzania offers a very different sort of game experience from the North, generally less rewarding in sheer volume of game yet richer in terms of overall experience and the opportunity to enjoy a more diverse range of activities. Selous and Ruaha are the key areas although Mikumi, Udzungwa and Saadani areas shouldn't be overlooked.
The Selous offers a heady mix of good game, diverse terrain and lots to do, whether it be walking, boating, fishing or flycamping as well as game driving. We always choose the area and the camp carefully to match the time of year and clients particular areas of interest. Ruaha is a perfect compliment to a Selous safari with excellent and reliable game, particularly in the dry months from June to late October.

Mr. Poland is a hero. But then most school bus drivers are. Hats off to the drivers from Escambia who showed their support to Mr. Poland's family, and to Ms. Riddles for the excellent report. No words can truly express the loss that we all feel when something of this magnitude happens. I'm gladdened that so many others were able to be there for the family, the students, and the community. Also gladdened to read of the roadway dedication, too. Randy Mazie

The Playlist
While doing press for his latest film, The Lords of Salem, rocker turned filmmaker Rob Zombie spoke to The Playlist and took a look back at two of his most controversial films and lent some insight into one that never happened.
It's no secret that when it comes to his Halloween movies, people either liked them or they didn't. "I really like those films," said Zombie of his two excursions into the land of Michael Myers. "I didn't have a good time making them. It was actually a kind of miserable experience. Any time they vary from the format is when I really like them." Yeah, Rob, we hear ya. Luckily for you, you were a lot less miserable than some of us who sat through them. Hell, I'm still not sure what I think of Halloween II.
During the period when he was making his Halloween movies, word broke that Zombie was interested in remaking The Blob. That never happened, but the filmmaker did have a kind of interesting slant he wanted to put on his version of it should it have happened.
"There are so many projects that don't happen, just sometimes they don't get announced so no one ever knows about them and you don't have to talk about them. The Blob was going to happen. I was dealing with people on the movie, even though I was on the fence about doing anything that was considered a remake again. I really didn't like the idea of that, but just as I went down the road further with the producers and the guys that owned the property, I didn't feel good about the situation, and I just walked away from it. My gut told me this was not a good place to be… It was dead serious. It was almost like a dark science fiction film, but it was serious. To me horror and comedy never work. Never worked for me, anyway."

Erik Morales: People Think I'm Crazy For Facing Maidana
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Former three division champion Erik Morales (51-6, 35KOs) is aware that he's in a very dangerous fight when he steps in the ring with one of the most feared junior welterweights, Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27KOs) on April 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Those close to Morales have told him that he's crazy for taking the fight. He says the growing concern from close friends and the distant odds are fueling his desire to get the upset.
"They tell me 'you're crazy [for facing Maidana], because he hits really hard.' And I tell them 'don't worry, you're not the one who has to fight him, I'm the one who is going to fight him.' And you will see a great fight. The money presented was attractive [for the fight] but the most important thing is to win this fight," Morales said.
Morales is a somewhat surprised that so many people have him as such a big underdog in the contest.
"I'm not just another person. I'm confident in my abilities. I know what I'm capable of doing and I know what I'm fighting for. I had many years of hard work and when I got to 130-pounds, my body couldn't take it anymore. I had four very tough fights (against Jesus 'Matador' Chavez, Carlos" Famous "Hernandez, the third against Marco Antonio Barrera and the first Manny Pacquiao bout). All of this in less than a year and a half and all of them were twelve round bouts. My body was exhausted for the second [Pacquiao] fight," Morales said.
"Then I went on a break from boxing, and I took everything that I had to take, and I ate everything that I was able to eat; I did everything I wanted to do for two years and then I began to look for ways on how to return to boxing."

Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corp., China's second-largest oil company and largest refiner, said Tuesday it acquired a 50 percent stake in U.S.-based Chesapeake Energy Corp.'s oil and gas assets in northern Oklahoma.
The $1.02 billion deal gives Sinopec 172,000 hectares (425,000 acres) in the Mississippi Lime shale play, the Chinese energy company said in a statement.
The deal, announced shortly before fellow state-owned energy company CNOOC closed on its purchase of Canadian energy firm Nexen, calls for the companies to share all future exploration and development costs associated with the joint venture, whose operator will be Chesapeake.
"Production from these assets (including Mississippi Lime and other formations), net to Chesapeake's interest and prior to Sinopec's purchase, averaged approximately 34 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day in the 2012 fourth quarter and, as of December 31, 2012, there was approximately 140 million barrels of oil equivalent of net proved reserves associated with the assets," Chesapeake Energy said in a statement.
Chinese oil companies have been trying to acquire assets in North America to gain experience in exploiting non-conventional energy resources, such as shale oil and gas, despite the difficulties faced in obtaining regulatory approval.
CNOOC dropped its bid to acquire U.S.-based Unocal Corp. in 2005 amid opposition from U.S. lawmakers.
U.S. supermajor Chevron Corp. eventually bought Unocal, which had large oil and gas holdings in Asia, for $17.9 billion. EFE

Pace University's Elisabeth Haub School of Law Launches Food and Beverage Law Clinic
Pace University's Elisabeth Haub School of Law has received a generous grant of $400,000 from alumnus Rob Sands, and from Constellation Brands, where Mr. Sands is CEO and President. The gift will sponsor a two-year pilot of a new Food and Beverage Law Clinic that will provide transactional legal services to farmers, community and grassroots groups, and mission-oriented food and beverage entrepreneurs.
The Clinic is part of a broader collaboration between Pace Law and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to expand the capacity of the legal community to provide direct services to individuals and organizations seeking to build a more sustainable and healthy regional food system. In order to implement innovative practices, farmers, food entrepreneurs, micro brewers and distillers, and other activists must navigate a complicated legal landscape governing everything from labelling to estate planning.
"Many businesses in the growing 'farm to table' economy start out in someone's kitchen, backyard or even roof garden," said David Yassky, Dean of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University. "When these business grow, new legal issues emerge and often these entrepreneurs can't afford the legal help they need. Our clinic will fill that gap. We are enormously grateful to our alumnus, Rob Sands, for his support and vision for this project."
Alumni Highlight
Stephanie Vullo ('94) never thought of becoming an attorney while growing up. The only attorneys she knew were on "L.A. Law" and "Law and Order." She graduated from Cornell with a degree in government and history. From there, she landed a position as a congressional aide with the late Bill Green (R., NY). It was while she was helping constituents navigate the government system that she realized she was using the skills that are crucial to lawyering: legal research, analysis of situations, problem solving, and advocacy. "All I needed was the law degree to make it official."
Stephanie applied to masters programs and law schools and decided to accept offers from NYU's Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and Pace Law. Taking an unorthodox approach because the two schools did not offer joint degrees, Stephanie completed her first year of law school at Pace, completed an MPA in Finance and Management at NYU, where she attended NYU Law School as a visiting student, and returned to Pace to earn her law degree. "This was a unique situation which could not have been accomplished without the generous help and understanding of former Dean Barbara Black and Registrar Nilda Rodriguez. I have never forgotten the opportunity they created for me to earn two professional degrees. I worked almost full-time while attending Pace full-time and it was quite a load to manage and I don't know where I got the energy, but Pace helped make it easier." Despite Stephanie's work commitments, she also made the time to stay involved with her academics. She was a senior member on the Law Review and a ranking scholar. She also was actively involved in various student organizations, founding the Pace Latin Law Students Association (now "LALSA").

Story Winner #10: A Little Christmas Magic
My brother, Gary, and I still talk about the night we saw Santa Claus. The Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny came to our house, too, but we never got to see them.
It happened the same night we went to the Community Christmas Party. We lived in the country and were looking forward to seeing our friends and neighbors, not to mention wondering what present we would get in the gift exchange. Grandma helped me dress while Mom got Gary ready to go. He didn't even complain when Mom scrubbed his face and ears. Because it was a special event, Gary and I wore our brand new, matching sweaters from Grandma.
We couldn't wait to get there, but Dad had to drive cautiously, slowly, on the icy roads. Finally, we arrived and stamped the snow off our shoes as we walked into the Community Center. The grown-ups were singing Christmas carols, the boys were running back and forth in the middle of the room, and the girls were standing by the piano watching the lady's fingers dance across the keys.
After the singing was finished, Santa came stomping into the hall. Most of us knew it wasn't really Santa, just one of his helpers. (I thought he looked a lot like my friend Lynn's dad.) All eyes were on the big cloth sack that was slung over his back. Inside were goodie bags that Santa handed out to each child. Each sack had an apple, some ribbon candy, and a candy cane.
Then, after Santa left, each child got to choose a gift from under the Christmas tree. Every kid hoped to get the gift that held the Life Savers® pack with a gazillion Life Savers® candy rolls! One family always brought it for the gift exchange. The candy package folded up like a book - and it was the best present ever! I don't remember what I got but it wasn't as exciting as the Life Savers® pack. When the party was over, the grown-ups wished everyone a Merry Christmas.
At home, Mom tucked Gary and me into our beds, turned out the light, and left the room. Soon afterwards, we heard a noise. Our heads popped up from the pillows, and we looked out the window. We didn't see anything. Then we heard the noise again!
"Ho, Ho, Ho!"
Suddenly, he popped up right by the window... Santa!
We jumped out of bed and rushed over to the window, but he was gone. Wow! We saw Santa! He came to our house and we saw him!
We ran out of our room and went scurrying through the house screaming, "Mom, Dad, Grandma, we saw Santa! Right outside our window! Where's Dad? We want to tell him - we saw Santa!"

About the Author:
Joanne Johnson: My husband and I live in southeastern Idaho where the winters are cold and snowy. Last winter, we went to Arizona and did the "snowbird" thing. We are staying here this winter, and I'm looking forward to it because we belong to a group of retired people who enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. There is always something fun to do whether it's sunny or snowy. I enjoy teaching computer classes and have even taught a couple classes on basic online scrapbooking. Most of my time is spent working on the computer but I also enjoy beading, painting, and learning new things.

Remembering Pekka Pohjola
Pohjola's musical output took influences from jazz, rock, folk music and even traditional hymns. The son of a prominent local choirmaster, he initially studied classical music at the Sibelius Academy (piano & violin) and he came close to winning the Finnish nationals on the latter instrument. But soon his interest veered to the electric bass, allegedly inspired by The Beatles. He began playing with the locally influential Eero, Jussi and The Boys, before moving in 1970 to the band which soon had the closest brush any Finnish group ever had with international success - Wigwam. Arguably involved with the most creative examples of this band's output, Tombstone Valentine and Fairyport, he left after just two years of intense touring in Scandinavia and Europe to pursue his own projects.
Pekka recorded his first solo album, the delicious intricate Pihkasilma Kaarnakorva (Resin Eye Bark Ear) during his Wigwam days. His second Harakka Bialoipokku, (B The Magpie) and third (The Mathematician's Air Display) albums were both released internationally by Virgin Records. Pohjola's involvement with Wigwam had brought him to the attention of Virgin's director Richard Branson, who was influential in linking him with Mike Oldfield. The Englishman both played on and produced the third album. This period saw the development of an increasingly jazz fusion style, sometimes compared with Frank Zappa in their complex arrangements and instrumentation, and he was reputedly even offered a position in the band by the man himself.
Always in demand as a session musician locally, Pohjola also toured with Oldfield's Tubular Bells in 1978. In 1977 he formed The Group with Finnish musicians, recording their eponymous album in the same year. Pekka's fourth solo album Visitation was released in 1979 with many of the same musicians, and with its fantasy influenced themes was more of a critical success. In 1980 The Group became the Pekka Pohjola Group and they released the album Katkavaaran Lohikaarme (The Dragon of Katkavaara Mountain) with a similarly melodic, sometimes wistful style. The band continued to tour extensively in Europe in the early 80s, with varying line-ups performing Pohjola's pieces, but steadily his energies were more focused on composition than performance. The sponsors in the 90s were often big bands, like the UMO Jazz Orchestra, and even the modern Finnish chamber orchestra Avanti!, with whom he also recorded.
The extent of Pohjola's legacy is witnessed by DJ Shadow, who took a sample of Pohjola's bass line in "The Madness Subsides" from B the Magpie in his own song "Midnight in a Perfect World," which featured on his 1996 album Endtroducing. Closer to home Pohjola's involvement with local fusion-progressive band XL Finland even brought him out of retirement to play bass in concert with them in 2004. He spent the whole evening almost hidden behind musicians half his age, playing the same role as 35 years earlier, unflinchingly anchoring the music with his feather light bass.
Pohjola's name is carried forward by two sons who have also gone into making musicVerneri (trumpet) and Ilari (trombone) are both prominent Finnish jazz musicians, playing alongside their father at the 2004 Pori Jazz Festival. The memorial concert in Helsinki in January 2009 featured local musicians whose age difference sometimes exceeded 50 years, but whose unified respect Pohjola will remain for many years to come.

HOUSTON The Super Bowl isnt just about the money to the Houstonians planning for the big game in three months.
They anticipate a boon to local businesses, a nice bump to the tax base and an economic impact in the nine-figure range. But all those rewards wont amount to much more than a blip in a city the size of Houston.
Its the intangibles exposure, publicity and image that are exciting to Super Bowl host committee chairman Chuck Watson.
I think the real impact for Houston, Texas, is branding, he said. Weve taken a few hits the last few years. Think about on Monday morning (after the game). Youre on the front page of every newspaper in the world. Its about putting Houston in a positive light.
Its been a long time since Houston took its turn as Americas in place. In the late 1970s, urban cowboy culture was the rage, the oil boom sent thousands of Rust Belt refugees flocking south and the Texas port city became one of the nations largest.
Then the oil industry soured. In the 1980s, Houston was at the center of the savings and loan scandals. More recently, Enron Corp. has become synonymous with corporate malfeasance. In between the scandals was the 2000 presidential election, where Democrats made Houstons smoggy summer air an issue against former Gov. George W. Bush.
Watson, who ran Dynegy Inc. until he resigned in May 2002, said Houstons history of success has made it ripe for attacks.
Other cities are going to get jealous and theyre going to pile on if they see the slightest chance, Watson said. You know what? This citys pretty resilient. Weve come back before and were coming back now, and when the people come for the Super Bowl theyre going to see an incredible Houston. Theyre going to want to come back, and I think its going to help our image around the world dramatically.
To that end, the committee isnt leaving much to chance. For instance, Watson said he expects road construction that has snarled downtown streets for years to be cleared up by January.
And the expected 100,000 visitors before the Feb. 1 game will be funneled to and through the most eye-pleasing parts of town.
Massive cleanup projects already have begun, again focusing on areas most apt to be seen by visitors.
Watson said 38 communities will be cleaned by volunteers before Jan. 1, then another major sweep will take place just before game week.
The master plan for all of Houston is, we want our guests to see everything thats great about Houston and hopefully well avoid some areas that may not showcase as well as wed like, Watson said.
A visitors guide also will highlight a list businesses owned by minorities and women in hopes of giving them a boost during the big week and beyond.
Were thinking it will be a really big opportunity to introduce our business to more people in our city, said Denise Taylor, owner of Cayennes Hot Wings and Bayou Cafe who hopes to open a second location near Reliant Stadium this year.
Organizers believe Houstons trump card could be food. Houstons broad mix of cultures, combined with the fact that a survey has found Houstonians eat out more than residents of any other city, has produced a variety of restaurants.
Watson believes visitors will spend more than $300 million in restaurants, hotels, clubs, stores and elsewhere.

Excellent! The blueberry salsa is absolutely delicious. I quartered the recipe and didn't add mint (I'm not a huge fan of mint overall). I love the flavor and texture combinations. My husband usually doesn't eat much or any of extra sauces/salsas that accompany the protein, but he went back to put more of the blueberry salsa on his salmon. A first! Tucking this into my best of 2015 file. Thank you!
I really enjoyed the salsa alongside the salmon. I just added a bit more bell pepper for the crunch. I think the only way I eat fruit these days is in a salsa!
Hubby and I went camping in beautiful but remote Porkies of Michigan so made wild caught Coho salmon using this recipe. I made the salsa the day before at home where I have a blender, kept it chilled in RV fridge and enjoyed a glass of white wine before, paired the salmon with Asian Pasta Salad by lauralie41 and for dessert enjoyed s'mores. Fine dining after all day hiking escarpment trail---nothing could be better. I forgot oil (at home) but did season salmon with salt and pepper prior to baking. Timing was correct for salmon but not too sure about salsa's appearance but definitely complements salmon and is healthy. And it certainly goes with my fine tableware. Lol!Thank you lazyme for sharing. Made for Culinary Quest 2014 for Cruising Culinary Queens.

Chinese State Council: Human Rights Record of the United States
Released after the U.S. State Department's Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, this report by China's State Council reviews the U.S....
Interviewee: Ben Simpfendorfer, Chief China Economist, Royal Bank of Scotland, Hong Kong
Interviewer: Jayshree Bajoria, Staff Writer, CFR.org
December 14, 2009
China became the largest exporter to the Mideast in 2008, overtaking the United States with nearly $60 billion of exports. Ben Simpfendorfer, chief China economist at the Royal Bank of Scotland in Hong Kong, says China's growing demand for oil has resulted in high growth rates in the Arab world, which in turn looks to China for consumer goods. China's growing exports to the Middle East also ensure employment for hundreds of thousands of workers otherwise facing potential job losses in the economic downturn.
Beyond the burgeoning economic ties, Simpfendorfer says Islam is central to the relationship. "Maintenance of good relations between China's government and its Muslim population is key to its relations with the Middle East," he says. The July 2008 riots involving Muslim Uighurs and ethnic Han Chinese in northwest Xinjiang province highlighted the troubles facing some of China's Muslims, who total about 20 million. But Simpfendorfer says the Arab world sees the Uighur issue more as an ethnic separatist problem than a religious one.
China's trade with the Mideast is not without consequences for the manufacturers in the region. Simpfendorfer says there are rising job losses in low-cost manufacturing countries like Egypt and Syria. Continued growth in China's exports to emerging markets could result in social and economic instability in these countries. A better trend, he says, would be an appreciation in the Chinese yuan that leads China to build factories in the emerging markets, resulting in more balanced growth within the industrializing world.
China also faces political challenges as it looks to greater engagement in the Mideast; Beijing walks a tightrope as it balances relations with Washington and Tehran. Simpfendorfer says China's concerns over the Iranian nuclear program outweigh its need for oil at present.

It's June, Time For Hobby Lobby To Kick Off The Christmas Creep Season
People, it's June! Why is Hobby Lobby selling Christmas wreaths?! Two years ago Hobby Lobby rolled out the trees in August. Last year they decked the halls in July.

Erie man charged in animal shelter burglary
Erie police have charged a city man with breaking into an animal shelter earlier this month.
Kyle Bish, 24, of the 900 block of East Ninth Street, was arraigned Sunday morning by Erie 6th Ward District Judge Dominick DiPaolo on charges of burglary, theft, receiving stolen property, acquisition of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.
DiPaolo placed Bish in the Erie County Prison on $25,000 bond.
Police accuse Bish of committing a burglary at the A.N.N.A. Shelter, 1555 E. 10th St., on June 8. Cash, a box of syringes, a digital camera and some medication were reported stolen, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case.

Bavasi is the worst GM in the history of the M's. It wasn't like ownership was forcing him to cut payroll, the thing is he had total control Sextons deal wasn't too bad, the bad part it was for 4 years, the first two years weren't that bad.
Beltre signing was a great deal as well as the Ibanez deal. Beyond that he didn't make a positive impact for the Mariners. BTW: The Ibanez signing had more to do with Mariners Brass "Chuck Armstrong" then anyone else. The Mariners Management and scouts loved Ibanez the first time around in the 90's.

Dr. Ryan Jessup, Assistant Professor of Marketing
Dr. Jessup is interested in decisions. What causes people to choose poorly? How do learning and contextual factors influence choice? In seeking to answer these questions, his research uses psychological models of motivation to distill the computational properties of decision making. Computational modeling enhances research by requiring precision in theory formulation and constraining predictions.
One of Dr. Jessup's primary streams of research concerns the behavioral differences between decisions when options are completely described vs. decisions when options must be learned about via experience. Prior research found that individuals choose quite differently between the two paradigms but the reasons underlying the difference are poorly understood. One of Dr. Jessup's studies demonstrated that the reception of feedback overwhelms descriptive information, driving the behavioral differences between paradigms. This work has led him and his colleagues (including Dr. John Homer and undergraduate researcher Allison Phillips) to build a new model that merges sophisticated decision making mechanisms with reinforcement learning in order to successfully predict behavior in both paradigms better than existing models. Dr. Jessup has previously received Cullen awards for this work and is currently seeking external funding to continue this fascinating line of research.

Two Aiken natives have opened a gun store on the citys south side that they say reinvents the gun store model.
Crescent Armory, located at 744 Silver Bluff Road, will open its doors on Tuesday. Co-owners John Speer and Wilson Miles grew up in Aiken and then moved away.
We wanted to open a business here where we both grew up, Speer said. We had some ideas on how to improve on the gun store model and hopefully bring some new options to the Aiken area.
Speer said their goal is to help new shooters focus on their individual goals, and to also support the needs of experienced shooters with the largest inventory in Aiken County, which he said includes 200 firearms.
The store has a variety of handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammo and accessories. Speer said they hope to partner in the future with local instructors to provide shooting education.
In order to fully satisfy the unique needs of each person, we have reinvented the traditional gun store design to provide a one-of-a-kind retail experience, which we like to call the Crescent Armory Advantage, Speer said.
This advantage changes the way customers can walk around the store and shop.
The second they walk through our doors, the difference will be obvious, Miles said.
The store will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and can be reached by phone at 803-226-0847, or online at www.crescentarmory.com. It also has a Facebook page, titled Crescent Armory.

Building plan solid but must avoid new boom
The mortgage insurance scheme proposal is far less distortionary than stamp duty or property tax, writes Marc Coleman
Published 18/05/2014 | 02:30
In an article on the property and construction sectors on January 14 last I wrote the following: "2014 is the ideal year to design and implement a thorough seven-year plan to get them back to normal."
Exactly four months later – last Wednesday – the Government came out with a seven-year plan entitled Construction 2020. Its timing (before an election) and content (back to boom/bust?) has been criticised. Certainly the plan isn't perfect. Few are. But a step in the right direction it definitely is. And as for arguments that it could stoke another boom, they are totally wrong.
To see why, think of someone on a crowded escalator in a shopping mall. To get more comfortable they might adjust their posture by taking a single step up or down. But they can't control the speed of the escalator. Likewise governments can change the market with a tax relief or, as proposed now, a mortgage deposit insurance.
But house price momentum is driven by monetary trends (credit growth) and not taxation or schemes and nothing the Government can do can alter the fact that this particular escalator is banjaxed. So banjaxed that guys in blue overalls with spanners from the European Central Bank and regulators are currently trying to get it going again.
When they do the speed of price momentum will be nothing like the 2004 to 2008 boom. Between March 2004 and its peak in March 2008 residential mortgage credit rose from €57.9bn to €124.4bn. On Morning Ireland one presenter inferred that mortgage interest relief had "led" to the property bubble. Others have claimed that mortgage interest relief, speculation about abolishing stamp duty or the failure to impose a second property tax were all factors in fuelling the boom.
This is plain wrong: compared with the €66bn in credit pumped into the market in four short years, all tax changes combined – plus any property tax that might have been levied – were diddly squat in terms of market impact. A mere shuffling of feet on the escalator. And despite a huge rise in population in recent years, mortgage credit collapsed by a third (down to €82.8bn last March) and keeps falling.
Now property prices should not go back to boom levels but were the credit escalator working properly they would be higher than they are, at barely half boom levels. Somewhere roughly halfway between current lows and 2007 peak is sustainable and if Construction 2020 drives them up a bit, as some claim, this will result in less overvaluation and more likely in partly reversing current undervaluation.
The idea that demand is anywhere near boom levels is ludicrous. The last time mortgage drawdowns were this low was 1972 when our State's population was three million. Having risen a third of a million since 2006 the fact that compared with the 93,419 houses built in that year, a pathetic 8,301 were built last year, is also instructive.
The construction job count reinforces this. With an EU norm of 7 per cent of the workforce in construction and our growing population we should have roughly 9 per cent, about 160,000, in this sector. In boomtime employment was too high at 288,000. But at 103,600 it is too low and the Government's target of 60,000 jobs by 2020 seems right.
As for suggestions of "interfering" in the market, this is coming from those who advocated a much greater interference: the imposition on top of stamp duty of yet another property tax on homes, many of which are in negative equity. The Government's proposals for a mortgage insurance scheme are far less distortionary and more benign than this tax on negative wealth.
Another "interference" is in the form of countercyclical deposit requirements. Asking new homeowners to stump up 20 per cent of a house price would have been a good idea in the boom. It is when prices are overvalued that higher security against a possible fall is needed. Now that house prices are too low and likely to rise, requirements should be lower. But financial regulators are famous for locking the stable door after the horse has bolted. In this respect the idea of insuring mortgage deposits is far less the creation of a market distortion than an attempt to remedy one.
The plan's shortcomings lie in its lack of completeness. Where, for instance, is the assistance for second-time buyers in negative equity? And where is the connection with planning and spatial strategies? By planning higher density in urban areas and targeting population in a more clustered way towards cities via a new spatial strategy we could solve the housing shortage and do more besides.
Reaping the "density dividend" we could create viable alternatives to Dublin for attracting investment and jobs, cluster people together more closely (Berlin rather than New York) create more cost-effective urban spaces where younger people live in the centre and families live in the suburbs, making public transport more accessible (more people means more usage and less state subsidy), lower the carbon footprint (close together means you can bus/train/cycle/walk to work) and lower prices (putting more people in walking distance of more shops means price competition).
And if we went further and controlled land prices, introduced better security and quality for rented accommodation and fixed-interest mortgages we could banish any chance of boom/bust forever. Now that would be a plan for the property market.
