For the sixth year in a row, Doritos is crowdsourcing its two Super Bowl ads. Five finalists have been selected but MJ is rooting for the Doritos goat (whose name, oddly enough is Moose)!
Finalist Ben Callner (who also happens to hail from the ATL) said that his goat-owning friend (and eventual ad co-writer) Steve Colby inspired the spot. "So my buddy came in, and he literally just kind of off-handed said, 'Hey, my goat eating and crunching on food is really funny,'" he said in a making of video. "And that was it. 'OK, that was a really random sentence, thank you.' And so we Googled 'goats eating chips,' and we cracked up." Watch the hilarious ad now:
"They're so sweet," Colby told Fox Atlanta. "I really got goats because I thought that they wouldn't be affectionate, I just kind of wanted some animals. But they want to be right next to you … they're wonderful."
"Goats 4 Sale" is up against 4 other consumer created ads: two starring dogs, one starring men in dresses, and another that has a blind man hitting another fellow in the groin. Doritos execs will select one winner and the other will be selected by online votes. Thus far, "Goats 4 Sale" has the most views on the Doritos Crash the Superbowl site (currently 460,000).

Pre-speech butterflies
Veteran public speaker Mayor Bogaard still gets nervous before the State of the City
By André Coleman 01/15/2014
Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard will present his annual State of the City Speech at 7 p.m. next Thursday in the new Center for the Arts building at Pasadena City College, 1570 E. Colorado Blvd. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The theme of this year's speech is "Arts + Innovation = Pasadena."
The speech will focus on recent accomplishments by the city, with an eye on future plans for Pasadena. Vice-Mayor Jacque Robinson will serve as emcee of the event.
Bogaard told the Weekly he was still working on the speech when contacted on Monday morning.
"What I intend to do is touch briefly on what the city has accomplished in the last year or two and then focus on some of the priorities, like the work plan with the PUSD, the YWCA project," Bogaard said. "There will also be some comments on the Rose Bowl renovation and the positive reaction that has been received from this year's Tournament of Roses."
Bogaard said he would also touch on challenges the city is facing through public sector pensions and offer perspective on that.
Although this will be his 15th State of the City speech, Bogaard said he still gets nervous beforehand.
"They don't get any easier to prepare for," Bogaard said. "I do a lot of public speaking and I don't sweat too much about any of the appearances, but for this one I still sweat."
Information tables and displays from several city departments will also be on hand and light refreshments will be available after the event.
The speech will be held inside the Robert & Adrienne Westerbeck Recital Hall at the new Center for the Arts building.
Parking is available in the Lot 5 parking structure off Bonnie Avenue. Signs will be posted and guides will assist attendees to the Center for the Arts. Spanish translation and assisted hearing services will be available on site.
For more information, call Lorain Nagahiro in the Mayor's Office at (626) 744-7210 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Investigative Baseball Journalism: Did I Just Solve a Mystery?
"Hey batter batter batter! Swing batter! He can't hit, he can't hit, he can't hit, SWING batter!"
Ferris Bueller's best friend Cameron Frye yelled these words at a Chicago Cubs game the day they took off from school in the 1986 comedy "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
At the game, the two friends caught a foul ball and were even shown on TV. The Dean of Students, Edward Rooney, nearly caught them but didn't because he got Pepsi spat in his face at an arcade…
Well, it's a long story. But if you have seen the movie, you'll know what I am talking about.
Yesterday it was reported by Larry Granillo of Wezen-ball.com that Bueller and Frye (and Sloane Peterson, too) attended a Cubs vs. Atlanta Braves game at Wrigley Field on June 5, 1985. He gathered that by using Baseball-reference.com and the commentary that is heard in the movie during the baseball scenes.
As it turns out, the Cubs lost 4-2 to the Braves that day.
One word: impressive. With a little baseball investigation, he found out the exact day Ferris Bueller took off. And as a huge fan of the Ferris Bueller movie, I thought it was fascinating.
It just so happened that hours after I read Granillo's article about the Ferris Bueller Cubs game, I sat down and watched another one of my favorite comedies: "Wedding Crashers." Like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off,"" Wedding Crashers" also features a scene that involves a character watching a baseball game.
Towards the end of the movie, John Beckwith (Owen Wilson's character) was depressed; sitting on his couch he watched a Baltimore Orioles game, as the movie takes place in Washington, D.C. (which to my understanding) is located some 40 miles away from Baltimore.
I decided I wanted to make it my mission to find out what Orioles game Owen Wilson was watching. Much like how Granillo found out what game Ferris Bueller went to, I want to find out what game one of the wedding crashers was watching.
Here is what I have gathered:
· "Wedding Crashers" came out on July 15, 2005, which probably means shooting began in 2004, thus the game he was watching probably took place in '04.
· In the film, a player is seen coming home in a home run trot. The announcer identifies the player as Jay Gibbons, who played for the Orioles from 2001 until 2007. He had some time in the show this past season, playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2010.
· The team the Orioles were playing had dark jerseys on. It's extremely difficult to tell which team it was, even by zooming in as close as I can on the DVD player. The White Sox perhaps? That was my guess. No help there.
· "It is gone! He is rejuvenated! And the Orioles take the lead, 3-2." This helps.
· "Well, Jay Gibbons connects; his first home run of the season off a left-handed pitcher." Getting a little closer, I hope.
· The footage in the movie was a night game from Camden Yards.
· According to Gibbons's baseball reference page, he hit 10 home runs in 2004–and strangely enough one of them did come against the White Sox.
I think I may have done it!!!
It took me a little while but here goes…
On May 5, 2004, the Orioles played the White Sox at home. Gibbons had a solo home run in that game off Mark Buehrle (a left-handed pitcher) in the fourth inning, according to the baseball almanac. Before the home run, the game was tied 2-2. Gibbons's home run made the game 3-2.
According to the recaps posted on the internet, the game was a 7:05 night game.
That home run was Gibbons's fourth of 2004. From what I discovered in my research, his other three home runs to that point came off right-handed pitchers, meaning it was his first of the season off a lefty.
Could I have just cracked a code? I guess I will never know for sure if it was the exact game, but the pieces are there; the evidence is in place.
Just as Bueller and his friends saw a losing effort on the Cubs' part, Beckwith (Wilson) did in "Wedding Crashers," if I have the correct game. The White Sox battled back on May 5, 2004 to beat the O's 6-5.
All that investigation and they lost.

Nice investigative work! And I love Baseball-reference. Great site!
Wow. That's some mystery you solved. I've seen Wedding Crashers several times and I didn't even remember that Owen Wilson's character watched a baseball game!
I think Sherlock Holmes is hunting you down as a new Inspector with him.
Tremendous deduction skills, plus the story about "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" was a great factoid piece for reference help, plus a good motivator.
Funny how easy it is today to find information like that thanks to the little box we are all peacking on right now.
Think for a moment how much harder if would have been say 1990-ish and you try and figure this mystery out.
Technology is our friend after all.
Great post!

View the RFP issued by DCRB below.
The District of Columbia Retirement Board (DCRB) is seeking a consultant ("Offeror") to help it fulfill its fiduciary obligation of monitoring its external investment managers' trading costs and transition management services:
- Trade cost analysis (TCA): The firm will prepare quarterly monitoring reports detailing managers' equity, fixed income and foreign exchange trade costs during the prior quarter, identifying trends and patterns over multiple quarters, and benchmarking managers' trade costs relative to peers. The reports must be submitted to DCRB within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. While other metrics are welcome, primary emphasis should be implementation shortfall (so as to quantify the loss of asset value incurred by the Funds). The service should also flag significant issues warranting follow-up with managers and work with staff on resolving such issues. DCRB currently employs 11 public equity and fixed income investment managers which manage a total of four separate accounts and 11 fund investments, not including the cash manager.
- Transition management consulting: The firm will be asked to assist DCRB in manager transitions by working with staff to develop optimal transition strategies, objectively evaluate and recommend the selection of transition managers, and prepare pre- and post-transition analysis reports. In providing these services, the firm must render their advice and recommendations as a fiduciary, utilizing a standard consistent with that of an ERISA fiduciary. DCRB typically completes two to three manager transitions per year.
See the RFP attached below for more details. All responses are due on or before Monday, July 29, 2013, at 5:00 pm (EST).
Questions about the Request for Proposals submitted in writing by 5:00 pm EST July 10, 2013, were accepted by DCRB. The questions and DCRB's answers to them may be viewed in the attachment below titled "DCRB Transaction Cost Analysis Consulting RFP Questions."

About Madshus
|In 1906, Martin Madshus started manufacturing skis in a barn located in Vardal, Norway. In 1928 Madshus won its first Olympic medal, to date, no other ski manufacture has won medals in as many different Olympic cities. Increased demand for Madshus skis, led the company to move to the 1994 Olympic city of Gjøvik. A fire there in 1936, forced the company to relocate to Lillehammer. One year after the 1972 Sapporo Olympics, Madshus relocated to its present home town of Biri, just 20 km south of Lillehammer. K2 Corp. saw great possibilities in Madshus, and acquired the ski manufacturer in 1988. 2006 marks Madshus 100th anniversary, making it the World's Oldest Ski Company. Many years of ski manufacturing and competition experience (including Olympic medals from such great athletes like Simon Slåttvik, 1952, Håkon Brusveen, 1960, and Thomas Alsgaard, 1994, 1998, 2002, and Katerina Neumannova in 2002) have made Madshus the second largest ski manufacturer in the world. Madshus looks forward to success at the Torino Olympics, and will present the Nordic world with its best ski, boot and binding program ever. Madshus - "The Cross Country Ski Company since 1906!"

2011 NL MVP Ryan Braun's name has come up in the records of Dr. Anthony Bosch. Bosch is accused of supplying performance enhancing drugs to several MLB players, including Alex Rodriguez.Get More MLB Video
2011 National League MVP Ryan Braun's name has surfaced in the records of Dr. Anthony Bosch, who is accused of supplying several big leaguers, including Alex Rodriguez, with performance enhancing drugs.
Unlike other players in Bosch's notes, no performance enhancing drugs were listed next to Braun's name, according to a Yahoo! Sports report. Braun released a statement Tuesday, claiming he consulted Bosh last winter, during his appeal of a positive drug test that was eventually overturned. Braun said "I have nothing to hide and have never had any other relationship with Bosch. I will fully cooperate with any inquiry into this matter."
Major League Baseball is expected to examine Braun's connection with Bosch as part of it's wider investigation into Bosch's Biogenesis Clinic. Stay with CineSport

Stock Futures Rise on 'Fiscal Cliff' Optimism
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were paring gains Thursday after some economic data cooled positive investor sentiment that was fueled by optimism that a fall over the so-called fiscal cliff would be averted.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were rising 58 points, or 53.89 points above fair value, at 13,015. Futures for the S&P 500 were up 7.90 points, or 7.17 points above fair value, at 1415. Futures for the Nasdaq were ahead by 17 points, or 13.73 points above fair value, at 2677.
The major U.S. stock averages surged Wednesday on fresh hopes that Democrats and Republicans will be able to work out a compromise during U.S. budget talks and avoid the fiscal cliff.
Both President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner made positive statements about the progress being made on Capitol Hill.
"Investors may be beginning to price in an increased likelihood of a fiscal cliff resolution before year end, as President Obama leverages social media and his reelection to pressure Republicans to accept either a compromise or the blame for falling off the cliff," noted Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ. "What's more, each slightly better-than-expected economic report that is ignored by investors who are focused almost exclusively on the cliff, may serve as an additional turn of the winch that may ultimately catapult equity prices progressively higher once investors feel confident that an improving economy won't be derailed."
S&P Capital IQ's Investment Policy Committee raised its 12-month S&P 500 target to 1550 from 1500, implying a 10% advance from the Nov. 28 close.
The Labor Department reported Thursday that initial jobless claims for the week ended Nov. 24 were 393,000, a decrease of 23,000 from the previous week's upwardly revised figure of 416,000. The four-week moving average was 405,250, an increase of 7,500 from the previous week's average of 397,750.
Continuing claims for the week ended Nov. 17 were 3.287 million, a decrease of 70,000 from the preceding week's upwardly revised level of 3.357 million.
Economists were predicting Thursday that the Labor Department would report jobless claims of 390,000 and continuing claims of 3.323 million.
The second estimate on U.S. third-quarter gross domestic product showed a rise of 2.7%, compared with the previous 2% growth estimate. GDP was forecast to rise by 2.8%.
At 10 a.m., October pending home sales from the National Association of Realtors are predicted to have climbed by 0.8% after rising by 0.3% the previous month.
Overseas markets were stronger Thursday amid optimism on U.S. budgetary negotiations. The FTSE 100 in London was rising by 0.85%, while the DAX in Germany was up by 0.78%. Japan's Nikkei average and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index each closed up by 1%.

8-alarm fire rages at food plant in SE Wis
Some residents in nearby homes evacuated
More than 80 fire departments are battling an eight-alarm fire at a factory in southeastern Wisconsin.
The fire at the Echo Lake Foods processing plant in Burlington has been raging since 6 p.m. Wednesday. Burlington Mayor Bob Miller said the plant was evacuated safely. He also said there are no injuries either to employees or firefighters at this point.
At an early morning news conference Thursday, Miller said police have evacuated 10 homes in the area and one apartment building.
Hazardous materials handlers are at the scene because the plant has ammonia and liquid oxygen tanks. Miller said the area where the hazardous materials are stored has been secured.
With temperatures around 15 above, firefighters from a number of area counties are being rotated in to fight the fire.
Echo Lakes Foods produces eggs and egg products, as well as other breakfast products.

hi i know im not suppse to freeze pumped milk if i have hrush..
but i'll be going back to work soon. what should i do?? for milk for the first week?
sorry i should add more to the thread....
i will be going back FT and there's no way i can go to my care provider to nurse. i will be going back in two weeks and we are now trying gentian violet to treat my LO and myself. we are on our 2nd day treatment.
i have pumped frozen milk already in the fridge which is bad now he's had thrush for rthe past 4 weeks.
When you clear the thrush, pump and store just enough for the first day. That's all you need. The next day at work, you can pump what you'll need for the next day when you are away from baby.
And yeah, don't feed the milk you stored already. But I do wonder if you could use it to make teething crackers or the like, as you would be baking it. But I don't know for sure.

so what if it's not cleared up..
would i be able to pump the day before and give them that supply that has been in the fridge? or does it need to be FRESH FRESH same day supply in order for it to be ineffective.
nevermind! answered my own question! LOL
agree with pp
just wanted to add that if you want to have a little stash, once you are back to work you can pump once a day on your days off, right after lo nurses in the am. this way you can collect some extra and not worry. once you have a little stashed i would ditch the pump on your days off

By Steve Terrell: The New Mexican
State Land Commissioner Pat Lyons said Wednesday morning that he's backing legislation that would rein in the governor's control over the state Investment Council, which manages New Mexico's multi-billion-dollar permanent funds.
Later in the day, a trio of Democratic lawmakers from the Las Cruces area announced that they're introducing a package of bills that would rein in the power of the state land commissioner over big real estate transactions.
Republican Lyons called those bills "a little retribution, obviously." One of the sponsors, Rep. Jeff Steinborn, D-Las Cruces, denied the proposals had anything to do with Lyons' investment council bill.
Meanwhile, in the swirl of legislation sparked by several ongoing scandals and investigations of alleged corruption in New Mexico, Senate Republican Whip Bill Payne of Albuquerque has introduced a bill that would deny state pensions to officials convicted for crimes involving misuse of their offices.
Investment council
The investment council bill (SB460), sponsored by Sen. Steve Neville, R-Aztec, is co-sponsored by a couple of Democratic Senate heavyweights, Senate President pro-tem Tim Jennings of Roswell and Finance Committee Chairman John Arthur Smith of Deming.
The bill comes as Gov. Bill Richardson's political career has been buffeted recently by a federal grand jury investigation into possible pay-to-play allegations involving his administration and an investment firm.
The bill also comes on the heels of a whistleblower lawsuit centered around bad investments by the state Educational Retirement Board with Vanderbilt Financial, a Chicago company that gave thousands of dollars to Richardson's presidential campaign. Richardson's chief of staff is a defendant in the lawsuit.
The governor's office strongly has denied wrongdoing.
A spokesman for the governor's office on Wednesday did not respond to e-mails about SB460 from The New Mexican or The Associated Press.
Currently, the governor, administration officials and gubernatorial appointees account for seven of the State Investment Council's nine members.
Legislative leaders would name four people to the council. The state treasurer and land commissioner would keep their seats on the council, while four "public" members would be named by the other nine members of the council.
Lyons said more people on the council would result in more questions being asked about investments and would give the Legislature more oversight.
Land commissioner
The bills regarding the state land commissioner's authority were sparked by a controversial land deal in Dona Ana County involving a major Lyons campaign contributor, Philip Philippou.
At a news conference Wednesday afternoon, Steinborn, Rep. Nate Cote of Las Cruces and Sen. Steve Fischmann of Mesilla Park said their bills are the result of their constituents' concerns over the 2,450-acre Vistas at Presidio development on Las Cruces' East Mesa. The lease was made without a competitive bidding process.
"There's a lot of really shady deals going on," Fischmann said.
Among the bills is House Bill 606, sponsored by Steinborn, which would require competitive bids for state Land Office leases for real-estate development purposes. Another Steinborn bill, HB605, would require local governing bodies to review real estate development leases involving the Land Office.
Lyons said he's not opposed to competitive bidding for large leases. However, he said having city councils or county commissions reviewing every deal would add "another layer of bureaucracy" to such leases and add to the time involved.
Lyons said Steinborn's father is leasing Land Office property, so Steinborn has a conflict of interest. Steinborn acknowledged his father's lease but said that had nothing to do with his legislation.
State pensions
Payne's pension bill, SB141, has been introduced before. Former Sen. John Grubesic, D-Santa Fe was his co-sponsor in previous attempts, Payne said.
Payne pointed to the fact that former state Treasurer Robert Vigil, now in prison for his part in a kickback scandal, gets about $4,500 a month in state pension. Meanwhile, former Sen. Manny Aragon, who is awaiting sentencing for his role in a separate kickback scandal, has a pension of about $2,000 a month. In addition, Aragon's buyout after his stormy tenure as president of New Mexico Highlands University was $200,000 plus free health insurance through 2007.
However even if Payne's bill had been law when Vigil was being sentenced, it might not have applied to the treasurer. Vigil wasn't contributing to his retirement during his term as treasurer, a Senate Republican spokeswoman said. The pension was for his years with state government prior to 2003.

In September 2010, ACI-NA chose Pittsburgh to host its Annual Conference & Exhibition, which is the North American airport industry`s largest annual forum. More than 2,000 airport leaders, government representatives, industry service providers and partners are expected to gather at Pittsburgh's David L. Lawrence Convention Center. The Allegheny County Airport Authority is the host organization.
"Pittsburgh International Airport is a world-class airport and the Allegheny County Airport Authority is dedicated to building on our continued success by being an advocate for advancing new ideas and programs within the aviation industry. Hosting these meetings engages the airport and the region in being a part of the latest trends in technology, safety, marketing and industry advocacy," explained Glenn R. Mahone, Chairman, Allegheny County Airport Authority.

But we have a clear cut immediate term (3/13 days) on the USO , because we have a CD on the daily
On Sunday I'm sending out some crude futures stuff for the August contract. Buy some puts if you're not already and then buy the dip and take half off on the first move up; I'll have the profits targets sometime next week, doesn't matter it's going to trade sideways tilted bearish.
Aside from being long AAPL I have no other interest in this market, too much RISK and AAPL is the best stock for risk aversion. in the meantime if it's below 91.81 (OAV) then down to 89.45 and this is a reversal level, it can't trade below 89.09 in order to qualify as a reversal.
Buy in here now, well if it's for the long haul; maybe but if so it must hover above 91.61 for a couple of days if not then it consolidates down to 89.39 and 89.39 is clearly a buy level with a loose drag on the reel at 88.88 (stop loss)
This move up on the indices is not organic and I'm on the sidelines, don't have the desire to ride the bronco when oil much smoother.....
In the middle of next week I'll be updated the same 15 different stocks I did 3 weeks ago.
CD: (Compression Detachment)
OAV: (Open apex vector)
It reached the expect up (immediate) price and went two cents above the target and as I had updated last week, it immediately dropped like a dead bird, well I'm still quite satisfied with the move up from 91 (as updated) and now it should spend a week or so consolidating this STRONG rally (as updated) and right now it should cradle until mid or late next week but then again if something happens over the weekend then it steps into an elevator up to 110-111 and from this level it absolutely does nothing but cradle for several weeks between 107
It's heading up to 127/131 and after it breaks out above 111 it reached 127/133 before you can say Jack Robinson; and just stay out of the way if you're not long then get long; For RISK AVERSION it's the best; what comes out the ground I never short, sort of like against mother nature....and when it takes out 126/131 it blows past 147 up to 150/151 and before you can say Jack Robinson, DOW's got a bad nose bleed down to the 1550. Folks could and they have proven that you can manipulated the equities and Crude is just to strong and dangerous to kept the lid on.
Well sooner before later when the top blows off it's up well above 200 up to 250....
Then things get real hairy, you know.....serious intervention; although it's just dust to wind on this one.
I figure about this time the Yen also throws off its yokish intervention, well I never thought they (BOJ) could actually turn the tide, but I was wrong and they got it corralled up and when this stallion jumps the fence it's at 190 in a hard beat; it goes much higher at 190 GOLD reaches 2000/2300 real fast.
I'm sitting in the straddle quite heavy in just about of quality (ETFs) and 3 futures contract; the August and November of 14 and August 15 and July 14 was closed at 2 poiints from the high and 24 hours before the furnace gets lit. (contract termination or take the load)

Loc: Australia
The student representative body at my medical school (of which I have to admit to being overly involved) is currently undergoing a transition period of sorts. The committee has decided we need a motto, and a Latin one at that. The job description is something short, sharp and shiny which encapsulates ideals of tradition, community/fellowship, and something quasi-medical such as caring. My preference was for a short sentence, but the majority of the committee prefers three words which cover, however tenuously, the sort of ideals mentioned above.
So, any ideas? Something original would be best, and I don't mind whether it takes the form of individual words or a phrase. Just out of interest, the University motto (or whatever the proper term) is sub cruce lumen, and I'll offer bonus points if you can link that in as well.

"Lumine crucis sanare" be acceptable?

Sounds like we're treading on the territory of the ablative of means giving us, "healing by (means of) the light of the cross". Makes it sound like we're geting into Christian Science or Seventh Day Adventist.

Diminishing fearFebruary 26,2013
In a nation with a history of racial violence, a high crime rate and prevalent ownership of firearms, critics of lax gun laws claim that paranoia among whites is at the root of the problem. And yet they have found that threatening to take away people's guns is not an effective way of defusing paranoia.
The nation is South Africa, which has been caught up in a furor over guns and violence following the killing of his girlfriend by Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius. Pistorius, who is known as the "Blade Runner" because he runs on two prosthetic legs, shot his girlfriend in the middle of the night at his home, claiming later that he mistook her for an intruder. He faces a charge of first-degree murder; last week a judge freed him on bail.
To become acquainted with South Africa's history of racial strife and violence is to view the United States in a mirror. It is incontestable that racial violence has been woven into the history of the United States since the beginning, both in the decimation of American Indian populations and the violence of slavery. From an early date, white Americans lived in fear of their slaves and of the Indians who might have been lurking in the woods beyond the clearing.
Some of the overheated rhetoric by people defending their Second Amendment rights suggests they fear violence in a variety of forms. Yet the fear of violence is itself a major cause of violence. In the United States the presence of firearms in a household is more likely to lead to the kind of death that occurred in Oscar Pistorius' townhouse than to an act of self-defense. The odds say that the chance that a family member will die from a firearm homicide increases by almost 300 percent when there is a gun in the house. Whichever story about the death of Reeva Steenkamp is true, it depended on ready access to a handgun.
There is another form of death that is hastened by firearms: suicide. Over the past two years, there have been 130 deaths in Vermont by firearms. Suicide accounted for 124 of those. Guns are used in more than half of the suicides in Vermont, and a member of the Vermont House, Dr. George Till, believes a waiting period for the purchase of guns would prevent some of those suicide deaths. He has introduced a bill creating a 48-hour waiting period. Research shows that the odds of a family member committing suicide goes up nearly five-fold if there is a gun in the home.
The array of gun regulations receiving attention in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., massacre has incited fierce opposition among die-hard advocates of gun rights. They oppose new regulations on ideological grounds, believing that the Second Amendment protects their individual right to bear arms. But their opposition is also visceral — a reaction against the idea of government reaching out to grab a weapon or weapons that are believed to be a birthright. If skepticism about the heavy hand of government is combined with paranoia about criminal mobs or jack-booted government agents, then each proposed regulation can be counted on only to fan the fear.
With an estimated 200 million privately owned weapons now circulating around the country and people, urban and rural, attached to them emotionally and ideologically, it is not even remotely possible that the government is going to seize them. The most sensible ideas now under discussion, in Montpelier and Washington, have to do with creating opportunities to inject a modest degree of oversight.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has spoken favorably of improving background checks to keep guns out of the hands of criminals or the mentally ill. Large ammunition clips may be banned as unnecessary for any legitimate purposes of self-defense. Rep. Till's proposed waiting period could help some distraught people not to follow through on a terrible impulse.
These are simple measures of self-defense being contemplated by a people living in a nation bristling with guns. They need not provoke panic among gun owners. We are at a time when measures to diminish fear are in order. In this country there are Reeva Steenkamps killed every day. They need not die.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Uber Just Responded To The New York Attorney General's Surge Pricing Investigation
Published 6:36 pm, Wednesday, April 23, 2014
On-demand car service startup Uber has received a lot of flack in New York City for its notorious surge pricing.
Now, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is investigating whether it's actually legal, he wrote in an op-ed in The New York Times (see Uber's response toward the bottom).
Surge pricing happens when there is a lot of demand, but not enough cars on the road. So Uber raises its fares to ensure it has reliable vehicles ready for those who actually need them.
But Uber's surge pricing may violate New York State laws against price gouging, Schneiderman wrote. During a huge storm last year, Uber charged New Yorkers as much as eight times the normal cost.
"We are investigating whether this is prohibited by the same laws under which I've sued gas stations that gouged motorists during Hurricane Sandy," Schneiderman writes. "Uber makes some persuasive arguments for its pricing model, but the ability to pay truly exorbitant prices shouldn't determine someone's ability to get critical goods and services when they're in short supply in an emergency."
However, Uber's surge pricing is very similar to methods airlines and hotels use to always make sure they have availability. They raise prices as seats/rooms fill up to make sure they always have something available.
The op-ed comes just a week after the New York Attorney General's office filed paperwork to compel Airbnb to turn over the names of some of its hosts. That's because the attorney general believes Airbnb is helping people run "illegal hotels."Earlier this week, Airbnb complied and removed thousands of "illegal" listings.
Here's Uber's statement to Business Insider:
We agree that in states of emergency transportation options need to be reliable and affordable, however the downside to fixing prices during an emergency with scarcity of supply is that fewer people will be able to get around. It's a complex balance, so we're looking into reviewing our policies and welcome the opportunity to work with the State of New York and Attorney General in crafting sound policies.

TRICARE Military Healthcare System Marketing Survey (Toll-free Call Centers and Web Sites)Objective: The MHS Web site (www.tricare.osd.mil) serves as the primary Web portal for TRICARE information. The Dir. C&CS, TMA sought information that would enhance Web site ease of use that would lead to improved satisfaction with TRICARE information efforts. It was also thought that this information would likely result in further increases in Web use and make TRICARE beneficiaries less reliant on MTF staff, call centers, and written correspondence for information, greatly reducing operating costs. This survey was the second in a series of telephone surveys designed by The Center for Health Care Management Studies to collect information from TRICARE beneficiaries regarding the sources they use to obtain information about their TRICARE benefits and services. The survey was administered in April-May of 2005. The focus of this survey was to gather TRICARE beneficiaries' views regarding their use of TRICARE information sources, primarily the toll-free call centers and the TRICARE websites.

The price at the pump has had more swings than a schoolyard playground of the past couple of months, and consumers can expect more. Yet America is on track to take more long-term control over its destiny with fuel prices, as we continue to realize the benefits of increased domestic oil and natural gas production.
Over the past half a year, gas & diesel prices have swung from yearly lows to recent month-over-month highs of $3.67 per gallon. Earlier lower prices came on the heels of refinery expansions that increased gasoline supply on a regional basis, as well as lower than expected consumption. Even still, prices remained well above their 2012 average for the month of June and have jumped $.20 cents in the past two weeks. Its no surprise that Texas has the 8th lowest average gas price in the nation, but more on that in a minute.
We live in a world still thirsty for oil. While projections are that increased energy diversity will help abate demand for petroleum, that reality is decades away. In the meantime developing nations like China and India are continuing to dramatically increase their demand for fossil fuels as they modernize their economies. Since oil is traded on the global marketplace this modernization puts upward pressure on prices and keeps gas prices elevated for American consumers.
Crude oil makes up more than 85% of the price of a gallon of gas and has spiked in the past few weeks. Tensions in Egypt have pushed prices higher as fear of a broader conflict weighs on traders. Prices are up 5% since the Egyptian military deposed Mohammed Morsi in late June.
Americans are also increasing their summer driving, pushing oil inventories to the lowest level in two months, which is 24% lower than this time last year. This tight supply pushes prices higher as refiners compete for fewer barrels.
Additionally, lagging energy infrastructure and pipeline installations due to an oftentimes overly burdensome and bureaucratic regulatory machine (with the four year delay in approving the Keystone Pipeline being but one example!) continue to prevent the free flow of energy around the country. This creates regional supply shortages, keeping prices higher and more volatile.
Moreover, the use of domestic crude oil provides a much larger benefit to our economy. Every one dollar spent on gasoline derived from foreign oil, generates .40 cents of economic impact. If that gallon of gas was created from domestic oil, that creates $3 of economic impact. Increasing our use of domestic supplies would also help lower the 58% of the nation's trade deficit attributable to foreign oil purchases.
According to EIA, U.S. refiners have increased their capacity by nearly 3% in the past year. The nations 143 operable refineries now have a total capacity of 17.8 million barrels per calendar day (bbl/d), an increase of 0.5 million bbl/d since January 2012. This increased capacity, coupled with new sources of domestic oil will help to mitigate prices shocks and put downward pressure on gas prices. As we even out the volatility in the market with increased domestic production and a reduced reliance on foreign oil sources, consumers will benefit.
No one can predict what the price of gas will be in five years, or even 5 months. But we do know that domestic oil production and an improved ability to transport crude oil into and around the U.S., will help to mitigate future price increases and may even help lower gas prices in the intermediate and long term. America is in the middle of a second industrial revolution thanks to our domestic energy sources. The driving public as well as the rest of the nation stands to benefit.

TheStreet Ratings Top 10 Rating Changes
NEW YORK ( TheStreet Ratings ) -- Every trading day TheStreet Ratings' stock model reviews the investment ratings on around 4,600 U.S. traded stocks for potential upgrades or downgrades based on the latest available financial results and trading activity.
TheStreet Ratings released rating changes on 50 U.S. common stocks for week ending December 7, 2012. 20 stocks were upgraded and 30 stocks were downgraded by our stock model.
Rating Change #10
Brunswick Corporation (BC) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, notable return on equity, good cash flow from operations and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 1.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 0.9%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Leisure Equipment & Products industry and the overall market, BRUNSWICK CORP's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has improved to $61.50 million from having none in the same quarter last year. Since the company had no net operating cash flow for the prior period, we cannot calculate a percent change in order to compare its growth rate with that of its industry average.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, BC's share price has jumped by 42.78%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- BRUNSWICK CORP has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, BRUNSWICK CORP turned its bottom line around by earning $0.77 versus -$1.25 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.73 versus $0.77).

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
110: John Tudor's final full season in a St. Louis Cardinals uniform came in 1987, the year of this card. Tudor was limited to 16 starts because he suffered a broken leg when Mets catcher Barry Lyons crashed into Tudor while chasing a foul ball into the dugout. Tudor would go 10-2 with a 3.84 ERA that season.

ROSCOE, NY — There are a couple of big changes in the Sullivan Arc Garden Tour this year, the fourth year of its existence. One change is that participants can choose to take a seat on a 55 passenger bus and have a guided tour of the selected gardens on display, or they can embark on a self-guided tour of the gardens.
The event is sponsored by Sullivan Renaissance, SullivanArc and the Rockland-Roscoe Chamber of Commerce. The bus tour will feature speakers: Vivian Multari-Ginsberg, the horticultural community liaison with Sullivan Renaissance, Susan Diamond the executive director at the SullivanArc Foundation, and Elaine Fettig, president of the Roscoe-Rockland Chamber of Commerce.
Kathleen Capozzoli, the office manager of Sullivan Renaissance, said those who sign up for the bus ride will also be treated to two "secret gardens," that won't be available to those who choose the self-guided tour. There are a total of 11 gardens on display. The bus tour starts at the Tennanah Lake Golf and Tennis Club, and after the tour, participants and volunteers are invited to a complimentary wine and cheese reception at the club.
Also new this year, instead of focusing on a relatively large region of Sullivan County, the tour is focusing on one community, Roscoe. Fettig said the chamber reached out to several gardening experts in the area who in turn contacted the owners of various private gardens, most of whom agreed to take part in the tour.
Last year, Roscoe won a national contest to become named the Ultimate Fishing Town, and the hamlet has also won two consecutive Golden Feather Awards, the highest award from Sullivan Renaissance. Fetting said, "Now we're not only the ultimate fishing town, we're also the ultimate flower town. We're trying to figure out what we'll be next year, we don't k now yet, but we're working on it.
Proceeds from the tour will go to support the horticultural program at SullivanArc, a not-for-profit agency dedicated to providing support and services to over 850 individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and to their families.
Ari Mir-Pontier, a member of the SullivanArc board, said that a component of the horticultural program is the Hemming Farm, which was bequeathed to the organization by a couple whose son is a consumer at SullivanArc, with the hope that one day their son could once again work on the farm. The hope is that one day Hemming Farm will be a working farm.
Tickets for the garden tour are available at the following locations: Catskill Harvest Market in Liberty; The Cutting Garden in Youngsville; the Delaware Valley Farm & Garden in Callicoon: Everlasting Spring in White Sulphur Springs; Hillside Greenhouses in Liberty; Monticello Greenhouses in Monticello; Vita's Farm Market in Jeffersonville; Tennanah Lake Golf & Tennis Club in Tennanah Lake.

Comments about Mendocino:
I just finished a week in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana with these boots. With multiple hikes from 15 to 19 miles/day, these boots worked great. I used to own heavier boots and decided to try these last year. I've done several weekend trips in them to break them in, but the BOB really put them to the test. We had snow for two days meaning sloppy trail. My feet stayed completely dry. My friends were in Keens and Lowas and were wearing ziplocs over their feet. I can't say enough good things about them. I have narrow feet and bought them to accommodate a liner plus wool hiking sock.

Comments about Mendocino:
I've worn my Ahnu Mendocino hiking boots casually and on several hikes, but hadn't backpacked with them until last weekend. I wore them on a 22 mile three day backpack in the Rocky Mountains, with a 40 pound pack. They were the only boots/shoes I brought, so I had no backup.
They held up famously, kept dry in stream crossings, provided traction on rocks, and gave me enough stability and ankle support on steep descents and through skree and boulder fields. I really found myself appreciating how lightweight they are, yet as supportive and durable as I needed them to be. They weren't likely designed for this heavy use, but they worked great for me.
I had read that some people experienced sole separation issues - and I did to a minor extent as well. As I experienced some minor separation near the toe before my trek, I just cleaned that area and put on a little Seam Grip to re-glue. I honestly don't expect any product to be perfect, so to me a little preventive maintenance just makes sense.
I will buy other Ahnu products based on this experience. It's hard to beat lightweight yet supportive and stable.

Andy Serkis Helped Peter Jackson Direct 'The Hobbit'
Actor Andy Serkis not only played the role of Gollum in Peter Jackson's upcoming The Hobbit trilogy, he also directed a handful of action scenes.
The British star is set to make his filmmaking debut in an upcoming adaptation of George Orwell's classic novel Animal Farm, and to give Serkis some practice, Jackson made him the fantasy franchise's second unit director.
He tells New York Magazine, "Directing was my main job this time - more than playing Gollum. I worked 200 days with a huge team shooting battle sequences, aerials. It was an amazing experience and one which I was very, very thankful to Peter for asking me to do... Peter's known that I've been heading towards directing for a long time. But I always thought my first outing would be a couple of people and a digital camera in the back streets of London somewhere!"
And Serkis insists he learned a lot from the challenging shoot: "Because the second unit was going to have a lot of principal cast, Peter wanted someone that could take care of the performances and create an atmosphere where the actors felt safe. Obviously I was briefed closely by Peter. But it was a huge challenge - mental, technological."
"I'd never shot with 3D. Plus the day to day logistics of dealing with such an enormous operation."

September 10, 1997: Probing the heart of the active galaxy NGC 6251, the Hubble telescope has provided a never-before-seen view of a warped disk or ring of dust caught in a blazing torrent of ultraviolet light from a suspected massive black hole.
This discovery suggests that the environments around black holes may be more varied than thought previously and may provide a new link in the evolution of black holes in the centers of galaxies. This composite picture of the galaxy's core of the galaxy combines visible- and ultraviolet-light observations. While the visible-light image shows a dark dust disk, the ultraviolet image [color-coded blue] reveals a bright feature along one side of the disk. Because Hubble sees ultraviolet light reflected from only one side of the disk, astronomers conclude it must be warped like the brim of a hat. The bright white spot at the image's center is light from the vicinity of the black hole, which is illuminating the disk.See the rest:

A Different Approach
For the rest of spring training–Opening Day in Cleveland is a week from today–I've decided NOT to provide my daily game recaps. For the most part, I enjoy writing them but with the White Sox record the way it is (9-17-1) and the regular season approaching, I'm going to start focusing on the key 2011 storylines. So, if you were expecting my angst about Philip Humber's start yesterday against the Cubs or Adam Dunn's 0 for 5, three strikeout day, you're going to be disappointed.

How to find buggy preconditions
When writing state machine models with QuickCheck's eqc_statem, you specify preconditions that should hold in order to include a command in a test. How can you find out that the precondition you wrote is buggy?
When tests pass, you never see the test data—so unless you take care to gather relevant statistics, you can end up running thousands of successful tests that test something quite different from what you intended! In particular, when you use eqc_statem to generate tests, you would like to know that your tests contain a good mix of all the commands that you are supposed to be testing—and hitherto, this hasn't been easy to check. Sound familiar? Then read on.
Example - process registry
For example, suppose we test the process registry, as in our basic training course, generating command sequences that contain calls to spawn, register, unregister and whereis:
command(S) -> oneof( [{call,?MODULE,spawn,[]}]++ [{call,?MODULE,register, [name(),elements(S#state.pids)]} || S#state.pids/=[]]++ [{call,?MODULE,unregister,[name()]}, {call,erlang,whereis,[name()]}]).
Here's the property we're testing:
prop_registration() -> ?FORALL(Cmds,commands(?MODULE), begin {H,S,Res} = run_commands(?MODULE,Cmds), [?MODULE:unregister(N) || {N,_} <- S#state.regs], [exit(P,kill) || P <- S#state.pids], Res==ok end).
There's a little clean-up code in there to unregister and kill the pids used in each test, but otherwise this is pretty standard. Now, there is a problem in the QuickCheck specification we're using here (not in these definitions, but elsewhere). All the tests pass, but we're not really testing what we think. Let's see how the problem can be found.
Collecting the lengths of test sequences
Of course, we can check the lengths of the generated test cases, by adding a collect(length(Cmds),…) to our property. If we do so, we'll see output something like this:
OK, passed 1000 tests 8% 0 8% 2 8% 1 6% 4 6% 3 4% 6 4% 5 4% 8 4% 7 3% 12 3% 11 3% 10 3% 9 2% 16 2% 15 2% 18 2% 14 …
We can see that many different lengths of sequence were run… up to 111 commands in this run, in fact… but it's hard to draw very firm conclusions about the test data just from this. Although it might look strange that we have 80 tests with sequence length zero.
Summarizing test cases
We would like to check that we get a reasonably even distribution of all four commands in our test sequences. We could add a call of collect(Cmds,…) to our property, but doing so will display the distribution of test cases in their entirety—and most likely, will fill the screen with output containing an enormous number of different test sequences when we run QuickCheck. This is not really helpful.
Of course, we could define a way to "summarize" test cases, and collect the summaries instead… perhaps something like:
summarize(Cmds) -> lists:ulist([Name || {set,_Var,{call,_Mod,Name,_Args}} <- Cmds]).
which extracts a list of the command names from each test case, and then sorts them and eliminates duplicate names, converting each test case into a list of the command names that appear in it. Adding collect(summarize(Cmds),…) to the property generates output something like this:
OK, passed 1000 tests 60% [register,spawn,whereis] 13% [spawn,whereis] 6% [whereis] 6% [spawn] 3% [register,spawn]
This is much more helpful: there are relatively few entries in the table, and we can see which combinations of commands appeared in tests. In fact, the problem in the specification is fairly visible just from this table—can you see it?
Function command_names
To make this kind of data easier to collect, QuickCheck provides a function command_names (version eqc-1.15 and above) which can be used to redefine summarize more easily:
summarize(Cmds) -> lists:usort(command_names(Cmds)).
Using this function, the collected output would appear like this instead:
OK, passed 1000 tests 62% [{erlang,whereis,1},{reg_eqc_2,register,2},{reg_eqc_2,spawn,0}] 12% [{erlang,whereis,1},{reg_eqc_2,spawn,0}] 8% [{erlang,whereis,1}] 5% [{reg_eqc_2,spawn,0}] 3% [{reg_eqc_2,register,2},{reg_eqc_2,spawn,0}]
The function names are replaced by {module_name, function_name, arity} triples—just in case you happen to use two functions with the same name in your tests.
Aggregation: How often do we test each command?
But these tables still don't answer the simple question: how often do I use each command? The fundamental problem is that we can only collect one value per test case, which QuickCheck then displays statistics over—while what we would really like to do instead, is to collect all the function names in each test case, and display statistics aggregated over all tests when QuickCheck is done testing.
If we want aggregated statistics over command names, we simply add aggregate(command_names(Cmds),…) (version eqc-1.15 and above) to our property, in the same way as we have so far added collect. This collects a list of values in each test, aggregates all the lists together, and then displays a table showing the frequency with which each list element occurs in the aggregated result. In this case, the result we obtain is
OK, passed 1000 tests 35% {reg_eqc_2,spawn,0} 35% {erlang,whereis,1} 28% {reg_eqc_2,register,2}
which shows that 35% of tested commands were spawn, 35% were whereis, and 28% were register… wait a minute, what happened to unregister?
A buggy precondition
When a command fails to appear as often as we expect in tests, this is often because the precondition we have stated is more restrictive than we expect, and so prevents the inclusion of the command in test cases. When a command fails to appear at all, this is often because of a bug in the precondition, which makes it always false. Let's check the precondition of unregister:
precondition(S,{call,_,unregister,[Name]}) -> lists:keymember(Name,2,S#state.regs);
But this is wrong! This specification uses a list of {Name,Pid} pairs to record the currently registered processes… so a Name can be unregistered if Name occurs as the first element of a tuple in S#state.regs. Of course, the name never appears as the second component of a tuple—because these components are pids. Yet the precondition above looks for Name as a second component! As a result this precondition is always false, and unregister is never included in test cases. The precondition should, of course, have been lists:keymember(Name,1,…) instead.
Fixing the bug, and retesting, the distribution we obtain is:
OK, passed 1000 tests 32% {erlang,whereis,1} 32% {reg_eqc_2,spawn,0} 26% {reg_eqc_2,register,2} 7% {reg_eqc_2,unregister,1}
which now contains all four commands, as we would expect. Unregister occurs less often than the other commands, but this is not so surprising since before can unregister anything, we need to both spawn a process and register it. We are at any rate in a good position to start adjusting the command probabilities using frequency, and to see directly how that affects the actual command distributions in the generated tests.
The lesson
Always aggregate the command names in your tests, and check to see that all the commands you expect are present. This is an easy way to avoid the "gotcha" of a wrongly defined precondition hindering one of the commands you want to include from being tested at all.

Well It looks like we are going to get a decent draft pick this year. Thats if Isiah doesnt make a ridiculous trade! anyway if nate gets hot again we might win this. Lee is showing why hes a real talent and possible all star in the future. The put-back dunk other night impressed me! Balkman has been playing well. He doesnt mind gettin his hands dirty. If he had a jump shot he would be a starter.
The throwback vids are off the hook MSGknickz33! That symphony is a favourite of mine and all the verses are quality but id have to say Big Daddy Kanes is the best!!!

- Radio bursts with extragalactic spectral characteristics show terrestrial origins
- Author(s)
- Burke-Spolaor, S.; Bailes, Matthew; Ekers, Ronald; MacQuart, Jean-Pierre; Crawford, Fronefield III
- Abstract
- Three years ago, the report of a solitary radio burst was thought to be the first discovery of a rare, impulsive event of unknown extragalactic origin. The extragalactic interpretation was based on the swept-frequency nature of the event, which followed the dispersive delay expected from an extragalactic pulse. We report here on the detection of 16 pulses, the bulk of which exhibit a frequency sweep with a shape and magnitude resembling the Lorimer Burst. These new events were detected in a sidelobe of the Parkes Telescope and are of clearly terrestrial origin, with properties unlike any known sources of terrestrial broadband radio emission. The new detections cast doubt on the extragalactic interpretation of the original burst, and call for further sophistication in radio-pulse survey techniques to identify the origin of the anomalous terrestrial signals and definitively distinguish future extragalactic pulse detections from local signals. The ambiguous origin of these seemingly dispersed, swept-frequency signals suggests that radio-pulse searches using multiple detectors will be the only experiments able to provide definitive information about the origin of new swept-frequency radio burst detections.
