Economic Statistics for 21 Aug 13…and Commentary
Here are today's statistics on the state of the economy:
The MBA reports that Mortgage applications fell -4.6% last week, as re-fis fell -8.0%. Purchases rose 1.0%, though. Rising interest rates are what is killing the re-fi market.
Speaking of rising rates, the NAR says panic over them drove existing home sales up 6.5% to a 5.390 million annual rate in July. House prices are steady, but rising rates are forcing buyers to purchase before the interest payments get too high.
One might, if one was inclined, parenthetically remark that rising mortgage rates may signal the inevitability of rising interest rates for Treasury bonds. Or, perhaps, vice versa. Whatever.
Either way, you should keep in mind that a rise of 1% in Treasury yields works out to an additional $160 billion or so in debt service payments per year. Right now we're paying about $350 billion a year on debt service, with a low net interest rate a bit above 2%.
If the net interest rate goes back to the historical rate of 6%, we're looking at interest payments of $950 billion or so per year. Keep in mind that the Federal government already isn't taking in enough revenue to cover payments for Social Security, Medicare, and Debt Service. That means that we're borrowing money to cover part of our debt service, and everything else the federal government does. There's no way we can afford to pay $950 billion a year in interest payments.
And we certainly can't borrow an additional $600 billion per year to pay for the additional interest payments. That would quickly result in a debt death spiral. But we could eliminate every single executive department–including Defense– and we'd still have a $1 trillion deficit.
You should be happy the economy is moribund, because that's keeping interest rates low, and low interest rates are preventing the aforementioned fiscal death spiral right now.

Politicians: Where do we get these people?
Camille Paglia is someone I disagree with at times but have always found to be, for the most part, refreshingly honest. I like to read her thoughts on current affairs (don't really care much about the cultural side of it all) and this week, in an interview in Salon, she answered a couple of questions that I think are worth discussing.
Question one:
Two words: Anthony Weiner. Your thoughts?
Two words: pathetic dork. How sickeningly debased our politics have become that this jabbering cartoon weasel could be taken seriously for a second as a candidate for mayor of New York. But beyond that, I have been amazed by the almost total absence of psychological critique in news analyses of the silly Weiner saga. For heaven's sake, Weiner is no randy stud with a sophisticated sex life that we need to respect. The compulsion to exhibit and boast about one's penis is embarrassingly infantile — the obvious residue of some squalid family psychodrama in childhood that is now being replayed in public.
I assumed at first that Huma Abedin stayed married to Weiner out of noble concern for her unborn child, who deserved a father. But her subsequent behavior as Weiner's defender and enabler has made me lose respect for her. The Weiners should be permanently bundled off to the luxe Elba of Oscar de la Renta's villa in the Dominican Republic. I'm sure that Hillary (Huma's capo) can arrange that.
Her first point is the most important – how debased have our politics have become? Look at the circus we deal with on a seeming daily basis. Look at the people we attract. And consider the fact that Anthony Weiner actually figured he had a legitimate shot at being elected.
Look at this idiot mayor in San Diego. He just can't imagine why he should shuffle off the stage. There are any number of others that need to take the hint as well.
It's not just a problem on the left. It is a problem on both sides of the isle. As we have said many times here, we are extraordinarily ill served by our political class today… at all levels and from both parties. And it is we who we have to blame for that problem. The fact that Weiner was indeed taken seriously until his latest nonsense was revealed is the point. Elliot Spitzer is another example. The fact that neither demonstrated any character or integrity previously should tell us we don't need them anywhere near public office. Yet somehow they get signals that they have a chance at a second try. What those signals are I haven't a clue, but whatever they are, we need to quit sending them pronto.
Question two:
Any hopes, fears or predictions for the presidential elections in 2016?
As a registered Democrat, I am praying for a credible presidential candidate to emerge from the younger tier of politicians in their late 40s. A governor with executive experience would be ideal. It's time to put my baby-boom generation out to pasture! We've had our day and managed to muck up a hell of a lot. It remains baffling how anyone would think that Hillary Clinton (born the same year as me) is our party's best chance. She has more sooty baggage than a 90-car freight train. And what exactly has she ever accomplished — beyond bullishly covering for her philandering husband? She's certainly busy, busy and ever on the move — with the tunnel-vision workaholism of someone trying to blot out uncomfortable private thoughts.
I for one think it was a very big deal that our ambassador was murdered in Benghazi. In saying "I take responsibility" for it as secretary of state, Hillary should have resigned immediately. The weak response by the Obama administration to that tragedy has given a huge opening to Republicans in the next presidential election. The impression has been amply given that Benghazi was treated as a public relations matter to massage rather than as the major and outrageous attack on the U.S. that it was.
Throughout history, ambassadors have always been symbolic incarnations of the sovereignty of their nations and the dignity of their leaders. It's even a key motif in "King Lear." As far as I'm concerned, Hillary disqualified herself for the presidency in that fist-pounding moment at a congressional hearing when she said, "What difference does it make what we knew and when we knew it, Senator?" Democrats have got to shake off the Clinton albatross and find new blood. The escalating instability not just in Egypt but throughout the Mideast is very ominous. There is a clash of cultures brewing in the world that may take a century or more to resolve — and there is no guarantee that the secular West will win.
She nails Hillary and Benghazi on the head. I couldn't agree any more with her assessment of that particular situation and the response from Clinton and the administration.
Note too that Paglia's candidate isn't another senator. She too has had enough of that brand of clueless fools that have no executive experience (although Clinton can claim exec experience with the Dept. of State, as far as I'm concerned she made a dog's breakfast of her time there). Hopefully the rest of the country is just as tired of it as Paglia is.

The research is clear—social support boosts weight loss success. But what if that social support came from social media sites like Facebook and Twitter? Two studies show that logging on can make you a big loser.
Trim down with Twitter
Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill put nearly 100 men and women on an online weight loss program that involved a weekly diet and fitness podcast. Half the group was also instructed to use a phone app that tracks exercise and diet as well as Twitter. Participants in this group received two tweets a day from a weight loss counselor to reinforce points from the podcasts and encourage discussion, and they could also tweet each other.
Tweets between participants ranged from informational to motivational:
"About healthy snacks, usually baby carrots or raw almonds no salt, the stone wheat crackers from Trader Joe's also satisfy crunchy need."
"Help I fell off the wagon! Too much free food! Bakalava and beer…"
"Don't feel bad, tomorrow is another day. Eat healthy and get some exercise!"
Six months later, both groups lost about the same amount—an average of 2.7 percent of body weight, while some lost up to 8 percent of their body weight. (A 2.7 percent loss translates to 5 pounds for someone starting out at 185 pounds.) But there was an interesting finding: The biggest tweeters were the biggest losers. For every 10 Twitter posts sent, about half a percent of body weight was shed.
That means someone who started at 185 pounds could lose more than 9 pounds if he or she tweeted 100 times in six months. (In the Twitter group, most people were active on the site for the first three months of the study; participation dropped for the last three months—only 55 percent were active in the latter half.)
Researchers admitted they couldn't tell whether those who were successful at weight loss were more motivated to tweet, or whether engaging in Twitter helped them lose weight. They did conclude, "participation in the online social network was beneficial to some participants."

Fight Fat with Facebook
More than 200 employees signed on for a ConAgra workplace weight loss program based on portion control. Participants were invited to join a members-only Facebook page, where a dietitian posted weight management strategies and participants could rely on fellow dieters for support and advice. The researchers found that dieters who used Facebook lost more weight over four weeks: 4.5 pounds on average versus only 2.9 pounds for people who didn't use Facebook.
Social support, whether it's coming from a real-life friend or a virtual friend, can help you stay on track and reach your goals. Be sure to check out the Best Life Facebook page for encouragement and advice.
Do you rely on social media for support?

Wins Top Award
The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) has selected the Gang Reduction and Intervention Program (GRIP) in Richmond, VA, as a winner of the 2009 Webber Seavey Award for Quality in Law Enforcement. Richmond is one of OJJDP's demonstration program sites and has received extensive resources and assistance from the Office in developing their approach to address youth gang issues. This year's winners were honored in ceremonies held in conjunction with IACP's Annual Conference in Denver, CO, on October 3–7, 2009. GRIP is one of three programs worldwide to receive this year's award.
Administered by the Richmond, VA, Police Department, GRIP is a collaborative effort between the city of Richmond and Federal, State, and local partners to significantly reduce gang activity in targeted neighborhoods. Its goals are to significantly reduce youth and young adult gang crime in an area on the city's Southside through the application of proven practices that provide youth and young adults with healthy alternatives to joining gangs.
GRIP helped decrease violent crime in the targeted area between 2005 and 2008a 17 percent reduction in rape and an 89 percent reduction in homicides. GRIP's 400 volunteers from 50 faith-based and community groups work with about 4,000 at-risk youth per week.
GRIP encompasses more than 40 programs that include health care, afterschool care, English as a Second Language and Spanish as a Second Language classes, job development, community revitalization, and a host of other programs that provide the community, and specifically youth, a positive alternative to gangs. Recognized by the Department of Justice as a "Best Practices" program, GRIP is being expanded within the city to include the Northside.
The Webber Seavey Award is presented annually in recognition of excellence in law enforcement and dedication to the quality of life in local communities. The award is named for Webber S. Seavey, IACP's first president. IACP is the world's oldest and largest nonprofit membership organization of police executives, with more than 20,000 members in more than 89 different countries.

Women Cannot Drive That Well
As you know, in the beginning of time God created man and named him Adam. Adam was of course given responsibility over Earth, dominion, and was to name, protect and use all creatures great and small. Such is the responsibility of man to this day.
Adam, as he on most high knew he would, became very lonely and therefore from his ribs God created a helpmeet for Adam. Eve was naturally beautiful and Adam enjoyed her company, that is until she tempted Adam to eat forbidden fruit and forced Adam, and all men, the responsibility to till the ground, provide a home and hunt the very beasts he had named to provide for Eve and their eventual family.
It was at this time Adam named Eve's species 'woman', that is, a woe unto man. Since the day women received their moniker, even though they are still very beautiful and have their use to keep us company and entertained, they can certainly be a woe.
One thing you know about women is that they don't quite have the manual dexterity or abstract mental abilities of a man, being the secondary type of human. Feminists will try to convince you otherwise, but that's just because feminists are no good atheist liberals who are destroying society all to forward their little agenda.
It's important to remind women that even though they do mess up a bunch, we still do love them. Still, they do mess up and when they do it needs to be documented as a reminder the immoral feminists. In this video, you see a typical woman who is unable to drive a car and falls into a feminine panic. There are some things that are just best left to men.
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

The Dedicated Security Channel Event
Following consultation with key industry stakeholders we have taken the decision to postpone Security Technology Live 2014, which was scheduled to take place from 13 – 15 May 2014 at the NEC, Birmingham.
During the last 12 months we have received overwhelming support for our vision of a dedicated security installer event at the NEC. However the prospect of adding another event to the calendar in a year in which the European industry is already focused on their participation at Security in Essen has created significant challenges for a number of our current and potential exhibitors, and as a result we have taken the difficult decision to postpone the first edition of Security Technology Live until 2015.

Big Apple IIc or Not To See?
New York, I Love You
Heart of Larkness
Trailers & Mo | Official Website
I love New York, and so do you. If we didn't, what kinda persons would we be? Maybe persons who are lamer than people who owned a LeCar? Speaking of things French, I love Paris, and you do too! And if you didn't then obviously you've never been to the Musée d'Orsay. So many people loved Paris that they made a movie consisting of many short movies professing this love and the love that can be found within, aptly named Paris, Je T'Aime. As planned, New York was up next, same deal, but not same result. Je T'Aime was filled with half goodies and half whatevs.net, but all in all it still maintained our interest throughout. The hit to miss ratio (STILL not the same as comparing Stanley Nickels to Schrute Bucks) for New York, I Love You is much munch lower. And how could it not be when Paris had directors like Tom Twyker, the Coen Bros, Alexander Payne, Olivier Assayas, Wes Craven, Gus Van Sant, et al, and NY got stuck with Brett Ratner(!!!), Allen Hughes, and second-time short maker Natalie Portman (Scar Jo's entry didn't make the final cut). The large NY cast may be a bit mo namey than the City of Light's joint (Shia LaBeouf, Bradley Cooper, Natalie Portman, Orlando Bloom, Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Robin Wright Penn, Drea de Matteo, Ethan Hawke, Olivia Thirlby, John Hurt, James Caan, Chris Cooper, Anton Yelchin, Maggie Q, Andy Garcia, Julie Christie, Cloris Leachman, Eli Wallach, Burt Young and Irrfan Khan), but pretty faces cannot mask the not so pretty underneathages. And burst of all, the stories themselves don't really feel very New Yorkie. If Woody/Coppola/Scorsese couldn't make New York Stories work, how could 10+ directors with not as much skill do one or 10 better?
Love Is Never Having To Say You Play Sorry: what do we love most about NY? there's too many wondrous thangs from the food, to all dem movies to the pot delievery service to choose juss one, so how about the wurstest??? hands AND thighs down – summer sweating on the subway platform. sure, it's nice not to own a car and deal with all that crap, but endless cases of swamp a$$ shouldn't be the reward for being more green than the rest of you folks
Verdictgo: Sum Merit But No Stinkin Badges
NY, I Heart You opens in limited release today
and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…

Tuskegee Airmen, Airwomen Honored During 70th Anniversary Commemoration
Chris Levister | 11/16/2010, 5:31 p.m.
Twenty-two year old Charles McGee was driving to sing at a church musical in south Chicago on Sunday afternoon, December 7, 1941 when he heard the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
"It was my birthday. We went on with the show, but I knew that one way or another we were going to be involved in the war."
Seven decades later 90-year-old retired Col. Charles McGee still shutters when he talks about the day that changed his life and the lives of the nearly 1,000 men who came to be known as the Tuskegee Airmen. "I had a draft card and a feeling my number might be called but I never gave any thought to training as an aviation cadet. I don't recall even seeing an airplane when I was young," he said.
McGee, who holds the record for the highest three-war total of fighter combat missions of any pilot in U.S. history, was the featured speaker at the sixth annual Tuskegee Airmen celebration at the Tuskegee Airmen Archive established in 2005.
Despite the repulsive behavior displayed toward the Airmen, their combat record is one that remains unsurpassed," Chancellor Timothy White said in his welcoming remarks. "This archive documents the lives of the Tuskegee Airmen before and after their service to help students learn their history and to ensure that we shall never return to the dark days of ignorance these men and women surpassed," he said.
"People are now beginning to come to grips with our history," McGee said. "Our history is what it is. It's never going to change."
The Tuskegee Airmen were recruited into an Army Air Corps program that trained Blacks to fly and maintain combat aircraft. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had overruled his top generals and ordered that such a program be created. But even after they were admitted, many commanders continued to believe the Tuskegee Airmen didn't have the smarts, courage and patriotism to do what was being asked of them.
Nearly 1,000 fighter pilots trained as a segregated unit at an air base in Tuskegee, Alabama. Not allowed to practice or fight with their White counterparts, the Tuskegee Airmen distinguished themselves from the rest by painting the tails of their airplanes red, which led to them becoming known as the "Red Tails".
Hundreds saw combat throughout Europe, the Mediterranean, and North Africa, escorting bomber aircraft on missions and protecting them from the enemy. Dozens died in the fighting; others were held as prisoners of war.
"The Tuskegee Airmen left a segregated country to fight in a war, and unfortunately returned to one that was still gripped by segregation," said Dr. Nancy Leftenant-Colon, the second oldest surviving Tuskegee Airwoman and first Black nurse in the Regular Army Nurse Corps. "Though Hitler was defeated, prejudice was not... Today America is trying to right that wrong."
"The Tuskegee Airmen serve as a benchmark of excellence, proving integrity first and service before self; a message that continues to inspire our airmen today," said Colonel Abel Barrientes, Vice Commander of the 4th Air Force Reserve Command at March Air Reserve Base.
"There wasn't a question of could we succeed? It was the question, 'If and when will we be given the opportunity to succeed?' And, once we got that opportunity, we seized it," said Theodore Lumpkin, Jr., Vice President of the Tuskegee Airmen Los Angeles Chapter.
The ranks of the aging Airmen are dwindling fast, but 18 of them arrived from across the country to reminisce about what it was like during training, gave interviews, and most of all, pose for photographs and sign lots of autographs.
"They are in their 80s, but just as proud today as they were when they were young and represented their country at a time when they were seen as second-class citizens and not allowed to serve with White troops during World War II," said co-host Col. Ralph W. Smith, CEO of the SCMEB Foundation.
The "Tuskegee Experiment" also included 80 women, two of whom were present at the ceremony. Abbie de Verges and Dr. Nancy Leftenant-Colon, the first and second oldest surviving Airwomen, reunited as friends after not seeing each other in 60 years.
Smith presented crystal seals to de Verges and Leftenant-Colon.
"This is my gift to you and the women who served. You made us proud," said Smith. "I can appreciate how you feel toward me and I thank you," said Leftenant-Colon.
He also introduced matching scrolls that will reside in the Orbach Library, the Oval Office of the White House, the African American Museum in Los Angeles, and the Smithsonian. The 2010 Rose Parade documentary "Tuskegee Airmen-A Cut Above" was shown to honor the Tuskegee Airmen float that won the Mayor's Award and on which 16 Airmen rode New Years Day.
University Librarian, Dr. Ruth Jackson presented the inaugural Distinguished Award to the Archive to honorary fellow Bendrix Bailey. Bailey personally championed the cause and donated $16,000 to honor 384 Tuskegee Airmen and Airwomen with Congressional Gold Medals that were presented by President Bush in 2007.
Community leader, physician and chemical engineer Dr. Ernest Levister presented Jackson with memorabilia from the archives of his alum Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania.
He chronicled the college's unprecedented highly controversial decision to reject an invitation to play in the 1948 Sun Bowl football classic because southern racial customs would have barred Tuskegee Airman and senior halfback Dave Showell. More than 1,000 White students marched into downtown shouting... "We will play, if they let Showell play!"
Levister explained that the students sent off a telegram to President Harry S. Truman and adopted resolutions condemning intolerance in American society. The controversy exposed the exclusion of African Americans in football and became a historic cause celebre for integrating sports in America.
"These men and women not only fought the enemy but they fought racism in the military, in classrooms, and on the football fields of America.
Their actions aided in changing American sports into an industry based on equal opportunity, access, and a new respect for all Americans," said Levister.
The archive is a collection of Airmen's and Airwomen's personal letters and documents, photographs, petitions, posters, diaries, oral histories, honors and awards, art, and other historical resources.

Auto sales continue to accelerate in Vt.Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Vermont auto dealers experienced an overall surge in new vehicle sales last year. Shown is Cody Chevrolet on the Barre-Montpelier Road.
Vermonters purchased 36,011 new cars and light trucks in 2012, an increase of 7.8 percent from the previous year, according to the Vermont Vehicle and Automotive Distributors Association.
Nationally, new car and light truck sales increased 13 percent to 14.5 million vehicles last year.
New car and truck sales have shown a steady improvement since the 2008 financial collapse. The uptick in new vehicle sales last year continues to be driven by pent-up demand, said Marilyn Miller, VADAs executive director.
I think people had been holding off purchasing a new vehicle and I think last year they started to feel a little more confident, Miller said.
She said promotions offered by automakers, including low financing rates, also contributed to the boost in sales.
In Vermont, the Toyota/Scion brand once again led the way with 6,411 vehicles sold, a jump of 19 percent over 2011; Ford was a distant second with 4,441, a 4 percent increase; Subaru was third with 4,110 vehicle sales, jumping 22 percent; sales of Chevrolets totaled 3,653, a 7 percent decline from 2011.
Overall, Japanese new car sales in Vermont totaled 16,472; U.S. brands totaled 14,182 vehicles; European brands sold 3,022 vehicles while Korean car makers sold 2,335 vehicles.
Of the exotic luxury brands, one new Jaguar and 19 Porsches were registered in the state last year.
Although Japanese car makers continue to outsell Detroits Big Three, Miller said U.S. automakers are really making significant strides in improved quality and thats reflected in the sales figures, which she said is encouraging.
At Town & Country Honda in Berlin, sales last year were down a bit from the prior year, said Eric Bashaw, the dealerships new car manager.
He said that was surprising because the dealership expected to see another increase in sales following 2011, when he said the dealership had the best year ever despite the challenges the state faced in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene.
Bashaw said the Honda CRV and Civic continue to be the most popular models.
Overall, Honda dealers in the state sold 3,190 vehicles, an increase of 4 percent from 2011.
At Brileya Chrysler Jeep in Rutland, new car sales last year were up approximately 5 percent over 2011.
Scott Brileya said his numbers would have been even better if he had more inventory of his two big sellers: the Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee.
On the Chrysler side, he said the Town & Country van is his bread and butter.
Chevrolet car sales at Hand Motors were flat last year while truck sales were down slightly, said John Hand, who has owned the Manchester dealership for 41 years.
The segment of that business which is lagging for us is the truck business, which I think is a sign of the economic health of the truck buyer in Vermont, Hand said.
As far as the Volkswagen brand goes, Hand said VW sales at his dealership shot up 27 percent in 2012.
Sales of hybrid and electric vehicles continue to make up a small percentage of overall sales. Last year, the market share of all alternative powertrain vehicle sales (including hybrids and plug-ins) in Vermont increased to 3.5 percent from 2.1 percent in 2011.
According to the Vermont Energy Investment Corp., as of Jan. 2, there were 188 electric cars registered in 84 towns throughout the state.
Nationwide, consumers last year purchased 12,165 electric vehicles and 38,585 plug-in hybrids.
Hand sold four Chevrolet Volts last year, a $40,000 plug-in hybrid that he said is not really suited for Vermont given its geography and its residents driving habits.
The nature and full impact of the electric configuration is marginal distances before recharge, he said.
Looking ahead, the National Automobile Dealers Association is forecasting new vehicle sales this year to increase 3.5 percent to 10 percent, or as many as 16 million vehicles.
Brileya said he expects sales to increase again this year in part because of what hes taking for trade-ins.
On half of them, I dont want to say theyre throw-away vehicles, but 200,000 miles Brileya said. I think theres a little pent-up demand.
Because the Vermont data reflects registrations, some vehicles may have been purchased out of state and registered in Vermont. The data is compiled by Experian Automotive.

Henrico's Top Teachers
Profiles of 20 outstanding Henrico educators
Teachers are a special breed. They are driven by a love of learning and a desire to impact young lives. They spend countless hours devising lesson plans, working individually with students before and after school and volunteering their time, seeking not recognition for their efforts but rather the smile of a student whose imagination has been captivated; a hug from a student who needs one in return; or the words of thanks from a student whose mind has grasped a challenging topic.
In the Henrico Citizen's first-annual 'Top Teachers' issue, we honor 20 of the finest educators in Henrico, as nominated by our readers. These are their stories.

But it's tissue-thin paper which already has its surface covered in now useless information. Also, the paper is likely glossy now (from the weight of the rest of the phonebook), rendering what little space is left on it useless for writing.
The only possible purpose is as a register of the dead.

Ol'Buzz: one night I was driving home from a bender with some buddies, and I saw this guy (obviously impaired worse than I was) trying to go UP the OFF ramp of an interstate cloverleaf. I tried blowing the horn, saw him look around with a flip of his finger, and blasted off north-bound on a south-bound stretch of interstate.
His headlights were off, he was slumped over like he'd been shot (or stoned) and there was no stopping him.
All I could think about was the innocent family and kids coming from the opposite direction.
Hurt me all night wondering what happened.
But if he'd been trying to walk down an UP escalator, I'd have filmed it all night!
Good call!!!!

Vapor Intrusion Updates: Are You Prepared?
By: Admin on October 10, 2012
Vapor Intrusion is a potential pathway for human exposure to subsurface contamination. Vapor intrusion occurs when volatile compounds migrate from contaminated groundwater or soil into the indoor air of an overlying or nearby building. Vapor intrusion can result in human exposure to VOC compounds and other compounds which can pose a risk to human health. In November of 2002 the EPA released a guidance document which gives options on how to mitigate risk to vapor intrusion.
Since that guidance document was written, a better understanding of VOC migration and improvements t...

Windows 8 shipped late last year to mixed reviews. Most people enjoyed the performance gains, though the duality of the operating system was perplexing for many as well. Another issue was the relative lack of features in the stock applications that shipped with Redmond's shiny new OS. It was assumed, however, that those applications would soon be updated.
According to Mary Jo Folley on her ZDNet blog, those updates will arrive for both Windows 8 and Windows RT, despite the latter's poor performance in the computing market. It's unclear what exactly will be included in these updates, though new features and better performance are likely.

Fourteen gang members escaped from a police station in El Salvador, although six of them were recaptured, and seven police officers have been arrested for their possible involvement in the breakout, police director Rigoberto Pleites said Sunday.
"Fourteen gang members fled, they were with Pandilla 18, and they escaped last night through a tunnel from the National Civil Police (jail) in the town of Aguilares, in northern San Salvador," Pleites told reporters.
However, "six have already been recaptured ... (and) we are pursuing the other eight criminals," the police chief added.
In addition, "we had to arrest at least seven officers, who are in the process of being investigated to see if they facilitated the escape plan or if they (allowed the escape) through negligence," he said.
Pleites said that the gang members first "made a hole in a part of the (cell) and then made a tunnel and left ... out the other side." EFE

New executive order expands sage grouse protection
Laramie, WY – The governor has issued a new executive order to try to protect sage grouse in the state. This order renews an older one, and expands the area of land deemed core sage grouse habitat by 300 thousand acres. Governor Dave Freudenthal says this new order also establishes corridors through core sage grouse habitat for power lines, but those corridors are where there are lines already.
"For instance if there is an existing power line through a sage grouse area we have said look if you want to put another power line in that area that's already disturbed we're fine with that even though it goes through a core area. That's based on the notion that you already have the disturbance."
The order formalizes the plan completed by the governor's Sage Grouse Implementation Team earlier this summer. This is all part of Wyoming's effort to keep sage grouse off the endangered species list. Freudenthal says if the next governor renews this executive order, they will review the plan every year.

So, the 925A01-8EKRS2 and 915A01-8EKRS2 mainboards from Foxconn aren't the overclocker-friendliest mainboards out there, but they do permit to adjust any of the most important settings. We only have gripes about the insufficiently wide range of the memory voltage, since there are advanced DDR2 SDRAM modules available that are rated for 2 volts, which is 0.2v above the default.
Well, the selection of overclocking-related options in the BIOS Setup is just one of the prerequisites for a satisfying overclocking experience. To make it possible, the manufacturer should also take care about an optimized BIOS code, about an appropriate design of the mainboard's PCB, about the use of high-quality components. And this means we can't judge a mainboard's overclockability without some experimentation.
So, we wanted to find the maximum FSB frequency the 925A01-8EKRS2 and 915A01-8EKRS2 mainboards were stable at. To perform this test we took an engineering sample of the Intel Pentium 4 570J processor (3.8GHz frequency). Since this processor has a non-locked CPU multiplier, we dropped this multiplier to 14x to be able to step up the FSB clock rate without any limitations. For our overclocking tests not to by limited by the capabilities of the memory, we used overclocker-friendly Corsair CM2X512-5300C4PRO modules capable of working at up to 675MHz frequency.
The Foxconn 915A01-8EKRS2 mainboard, based on the i915P Express chipset, was the first to take place on our testbed.
Starting out cheerfully we soon stopped at 217MHz FSB – the system would not start up at a higher FSB clock rate. That's not much, yes? One might even believe to people saying the i915/i925 chipsets were made protected against overclocking, and the mainboard makers had to avoid this protection. So, are these 217 megahertz really the overclocking peak for the 915A01-8EKRS2?
Of course, there's no special protection against overclocking in i915/i925, but mainboards based on these chipsets are really difficult to overclock because of the high-speed PCI Express bus whose implementation has made the chipset's arbitration logics more complex. The arbitration unit is a highly sensitive mechanism, which can be influenced by a slightest change in the speed parameters of the outgoing and incoming signals. And this unit affects the stability of the whole chipset! Thus, the ratio of the frequencies of various busses is directly connected to the arbitrator's ability to correctly process the signals under the changing circumstances.
In practice this means that the ratio of PCI Express and FSB busses becomes a crucial thing for good overclocking: increasing the FSB clock rate alone we bring some misbalance into the system, rendering it inoperative. So, our overclocking recipe is simple in this case: we must increase the PCI Express frequency, too!
And really, setting 105MHz PCI Express frequency on the reviewed mainboard we managed to achieve 225MHz FSB frequency, keeping the system stable. At 110MHz PCI Express, the maximum stable FSB frequency was 238MHz and so on. That's already better than those 217 megahertz of the FSB clock rate we got to at first.
Cutting the long story short, we followed our overclocking recipe to get to the maximum stable FSB frequency, which we found at 248MHz.
The frequency of the PCI Express bus was 115MHz at that, but our PCI Express graphics card, a Tul (PowerColor) X800 XT, remained perfectly stable.

The Search for Burke and Hare
The Search for Burke and Hare
TV Detective David Hayman investigates the crimes of Scotland's most infamous body snatcher's; Burke and Hare.
During the early 19th century the University of Edinburgh was the leading institution in the world for medical sciences, especially in anatomy.
However the demand for the dead was greater than what was naturally available due to the new law the 'Bloody Code'.
With this growing demand and not enough corpses so began the bloody period of grave robbing during which Burke and Hare infamously began their serial murders and body snatching. Their crimes finally lead one of them to the gallows.
With a new movie about these murderers, directed by Jon Landis and starring Simon Pegg, Andy Serkis and our own David Hayman, soon to be released, we will look at the killings that still fascinate a modern audience and use grizzly dramatic reconstructions to bring the murders to life.
"Up the close and down the stair, But and ben with Burke and Hare. Burke's the butcher, Hare's the thief, Knox, the boy who buys the beef." 19th century Edinburgh jumping-rope rhyme.

A thought I had to resolve it simply, is to just accept that 1/x doesn't actually reach 0, so therefore ln(x) will be increasing by something, even if that something is small. But then I thought, even though 1/x doesn't actually reach 0, the rate of change in some sense converges to 0 for ln(x), so ln(x) must converge then to some value, no?
Just as we're taught the infinite sequence 1 + 1/n for n to infinity converges to 2?
But we know from a number of proofs already, that ln(x) diverges to infinity, so I'm still stuck on explaining that in relation to what I posed above.

The 1st public shoot (that anyone seems to have known of) was on Friday right in downtown Vancouver as the production took over Terry Fox Plaza at B.C. Place to film scenes that involved Oliver Queen walking along with Laurel Lance
The pair did a scene where they are walking from the stadium in the blazing heat we had here, eventually they stop and talk to a 3rd character, alive and seemingly well... Quentin Lance.
In these scenes, you see Quentin dressed up in a little different Police attire.... as he is now Captain Lance.
After those scenes, Paul Blackthorne wrapped his work on those scenes. Short time later Katie Cassidy also wrapped.
I managed to get autographs from all 3 of them at different times. This included a good 15-20 minute chat that Stephen had with those of us that were there. Glad to see he is still cool.
Arrow returns this fall on The CW in the U.S. and on CTV in Canada. for their 3rd season starting October 8, 2014.

Joseph Rigby Receives Honor from Washington Business Journal Poll
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Joseph M. Rigby, Pepco Holdings Inc. Chairman, President and CEO, was voted the "Best Business Philanthropist" in the Washington metropolitan area in an informal online poll conducted by The Washington Business Journal (WBJ) from December 2, 2011 through January 25, 2012. Rigby, a write-in candidate, topped a formidable list of area philanthropists.
Directly tied to their 30th annual Book of Lists event, WBJ introduced a write-in component to this year's inaugural polling event. WBJ conducts weekly polling on various topics and believes this new category will prove to be of interest to readers.
"I am honored to receive this recognition as the 'Best Business Philanthropist' by Washingtonians," said Rigby. "Pepco Holdings has a long standing tradition of giving to the communities it serves. This tradition extends well beyond our commitment to provide customers with reliable electric service. Community service and charitable giving are core values at PHI as demonstrated by the more than $1 million raised each year by Pepco Holdings for the 2010 and 2011 United Way campaigns."
Mr. Rigby is Chairman of the United Way of the National Capital Area and Chairman of the Greater Washington Board of Trade. He serves on the boards of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Edison Electric Institute, the Federal City Council, the Trust for the National Mall and the Greater Washington Initiative.

Shannon Duval, the mother of the two children found abandoned along Interstate 90 near state line Tuesday morning, said she has no recollection of how they ended up there or how she got back to Spokane Valley.
Shannon Duval, who is also known as Shannon Germanton, was located Tuesday night at a Spokane Valley residence and arrested on a negligent driving warrant in Spokane County.
During a Wednesday court hearing on the negligent driving charge, Duval's judge said she would be held without bail until her next court hearing due to her failure to appear in court so many times in the past.
What happened, according to authorities, was that her two children were found by construction workers huddled together wet, barefoot and cold near the Beck Road interchange. Eyewitnesses say that Duval managed to find her way to Jacklin Seed, where an employee gave her a ride to an Exxon gas station under the guise that she needed to get to a phone to call for a ride as she had been involved in an argument with her boyfriend.
After she was dropped off at the gas station Duval walked away.
Officers were searching for Duval throughout the day Tuesday until an anonymous tip led them to her home on South David Street in Spokane Valley. She was arrested on the outstanding Spokane County warrant for negligent driving and taken into custody.
While she was facing a Spokane County court on the negligent driving charge, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Department issued a warrant for two counts of felony injury to a child. She will remain in Spokane County until her case on the negligent driving charge is resolved. At that point she will be extradited to Kootenai County on the felony injury to child warrants.
The two boys are now in foster care.

As the long month of August wears on, there seems to be an increasing amount of uncertainty surrounding key positions on the Jets. Injuries are piling up in the secondary, complicating their mission of starting the regular season with the roster operating at full capacity.
The Jets are now also confronted with some "good" problems, including a quality competition at left guard and a running back rotation that flashed a ton of potential in Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Here is what we have learned about the New York Jets after the second week of preseason.

The Jervis McEntee Diaries - December 30, 1875
Diary Entry:
Sunday, Dec 30, 1875 Felt very well this morning and walked over to John St. & back. Since then have felt wretchedly and fear I am going to be sick. Wrote a long letter to Lambdin on Academy Affairs. Recd a letter from him today. Bierstadt had a reception today with a spread from Delmonico's. I don't think it was a great success. The weather was as bad as it could be. One of his guests Mrs. Park Godwin drifted up here and called on me.

The First Spanish Basques in Jordan Valley were Jose Navarro and Antonio Azcuenaga who came to Jordan Valley in 1889 and Augustin Azcuenaga in 1890. Pedro Arritola, Luis Yturraspe, and Cipriano Anacabe came a little later and soon there was a thriving Basque colony. Some of them became successful sheepmen, and others were skilled stonemasons, miners, hotelkeepers and merchants.
Basque immigrants began building the ball court or Pelota Frontone in the spring of 1915. It is built of native stone, hand hewn by Basque masons who learned their trade in Spain. Here, for years, they played Pelota (ball), a game similar to American handball.
