Lester vs. Shields: Not all that close
The Kansas City Royals have discussed outfield prospect Wil Myers in trades for Tampa Bay Rays right-hander James Shields and Boston Red Sox lefty Jon Lester, according to Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star.
Great idea. But who says Shields and Lester are equal?
True, their contracts are similar — Lester, 28, is owed $24.625 million through 2014, while Shields, 30, is owed $21 million. But Shields was the better pitcher last season, and has been an absolute beast for the past two years.
Lester, meanwhile, is coming off a career-high 4.82 ERA after four straight sub-3.50 seasons. His average fastball velocity of 92 mph in 2012 was the lowest it has been since '08, according to PitchFx data on Fangraphs.com. His cutter also declined in effectiveness, and in general, he was hit harder than before.
Some of Lester's struggles might have resulted from poor luck — his .318 opponents' batting average on balls in play was the fifth-highest in the AL, and his fielding-independent pitching mark was nearly as good as that of Rangers lefty Matt Harrison, who finished with a 3.29 ERA.
The Royals, if they acquired Lester, would count on a bounce-back season — the same type of season the Red Sox surely anticipate, particularly now that Lester is reuniting with his former pitching coach, new Boston manager John Farrell.
Shields, on the other hand, seems to be peaking.
His 477 innings the past two seasons rank second in the majors only to Justin Verlander, and his 3.15 ERA during that time rank fifth in the AL among pitchers with 60 or more starts. His stuff, if anything seems, to be getting better. His average fastball velocity of 92 mph last season was the highest of his career.
In baseball as in life, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Perhaps the Royals actually see Lester and Shields as similar. Perhaps they would seek to expand the deals to compensate for any perceived difference in value.
True, Myers could develop into a star. But either Lester or Shields would amount to a major two-year upgrade for the Royals, giving the team a legitimate ace in front of right-handers Ervin Santana and Jeremy Guthrie in '12.
The question, then, is not only whether the Royals will pull the trigger, but also which target they prefer.
— Ken Rosenthal
The Royals couldn't score enough runs last year. Nineteen teams scored more runs than Kansas City. Even if they got David Price for Will Myers the Royals still would not be a .500 team. Their lineup would be weak and so would their rotation.

Euro-N.Y. Magic to be unveiled tomorrow
The Brooklyn Knights may be gone, but that doesn't mean there won't be a team representing the borough in the Premier Development League this season.
On Saturday, a new PDL team will be introduced to the area -- FA Euro-N.Y. Magic.

The press conference also will include a brief presentation including the history of both clubs, the direction of the youth programs for boys and girls and an award ceremony honoring individuals who have contributed to the organization.
FA Euro-N.Y. Magic will play in the Eastern Conference in the Mid-Atlantic Division.
That division includes the Baltimore Bohemians, Bermuda Hogges, Central Jersey Spartans, Jersey Express, Long Island Rough Riders, NJ LUSO Rangers FC, Ocean City Nor'easters, Reading United AC and Westchester Flames.

Volleyball Announces Two Signees for 2013
Nov. 21, 2012
CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati head volleyball coach Molly Alvey has announced a pair of signees for the 2013 class. Breanna Barksdale and Mallory Blauser have both signed letters of intent to play for the Bearcats beginning in the fall of 2013.
Barksdale is a 6'1" middle blocker from Chula Vista, Calif. While attending Eastlake High School, she was a three-year letterwinner and a two-year All-League performer. Barksdale was named to the All-League Second Team in 2011 and topped that with an All-League First Team selection in 2012, while finishing her senior season with 3.6 kills per set and 2.1 blocks per set. She played club volleyball with the Coast Volleyball Club where her team finished fifth at the USAV Junior Olympics in 2011. She was also a two-year track and field participant in the high hump and long jump.
"Bre is a very talented athlete" said Alvey. "She is somewhat new to the game but has excelled at the physical aspect of competing in volleyball. It has been so fun and quite engaging to watch Bre grow and develop as a player. She is competing at the highest level with her club team this spring and summer. We are so looking forward to getting her here to UC with us. Her personality is very caring and endearing and she is a phenomenal teammate. We are excited to get her positive energy in our program."
Barksdale is the daughter of Derek and Susan Barksdale and has three siblings, D'Angelo (20), Arianna (11) and Xavier (8). De'Angelo is a football player at the University of San Diego while her grandfather, Don Barksdale, was an All-American basketball player at UCLA and a 1942 Olympic gold medalist.
Blauser, a 6'1" outside hitter from Round Rock, Texas, was a four-year letterwinner in both volleyball and basketball at Round Rock Christian Academy. She is a three-time All-State performer, including First Team All-State nods in 2011 and 2012. In 2012 she was named to the state tournament All-Tournament team after leading the Crusaders to the state volleyball championship title and was the MVP of the district. She also was named one of the Top-10 Athletes to Watch in Central Texas for both basketball and volleyball and has been named the District MVP in both sports. Blauser also finished third in the state in the 100-meter hurdles competition in 2011.
"Mallory is such a great competitor" said Alvey. "She is the leader on all of her teams: volleyball, basketball, high school and club. Her positive yet strong demeanor on the court adds stability to her team and instills confidence in her teammates. Mallory is another very physical player with a heavy arm-swing. I cannot wait to get her competitiveness and skill in our gym. She will make an immediate impact in our gym."
Blauser is the daughter of Jeff and Becky Blauser and has two siblings, Andy (23) and Kelsey (20). Kelsey plays volleyball at Pfeiffer University.
The Bearcats will close out the 2012 season with a match at Miami (Ohio) on Sat., Nov. 24 at 4 p.m.

A Rogue's Life HTML version
it never lasts long enough to justify our secret anticipations--our happiness
dwindles to mere every-day contentment before we have half done with it.
I raised my head, and gathered the bills and letters together, and stood up a man
again, wondering at the variableness of my own temper, at the curious elasticity
of that toughest of all the vital substances within us, which we call Hope. "Sitting
and sighing at the foot of this tree," I thought, "is not the way to find Alicia, or to
secure my own safety. Let me circulate my blood and rouse my ingenuity, by
taking to the road again."
Before I forced my way back to the open side of the hedge, I thought it desirable
to tear up the bills and letters, for fear of being traced by them if they were found
in the plantation. The desk I left where it was, there being no name on it. The
note-paper and pens I pocketed--forlorn as my situation was, it did not authorize
me to waste stationery. The blotting-paper was the last thing left to dispose of:
two neatly-folded sheets, quite clean, except in one place, where the impression
of a few lines of writing appeared. I was about to put the blotting-paper into my
pocket after the pens, when something in the look of the writing impressed on it,
stopped me.
Four blurred lines appeared of not more than two or three words each, running
out one beyond another regularly from left to right. Had the doctor been
composing poetry and blotting it in a violent hurry? At a first glance, that was
more than I could tell. The order of the written letters, whatever they might be,
was reversed on the face of the impression taken of them by the blotting-paper. I
turned to the other side of the leaf. The order of the letters was now right, but the
letters themselves were sometimes too faintly impressed, sometimes too much
blurred together to be legible. I held the leaf up to the light--and there was a
complete change: the blurred letters grew clearer, the invisible connecting lines
appeared--I could read the words from first to last.
The writing must have been hurried, and it had to all appearance been hurriedly
dried toward the corner of a perfectly clean leaf of the blotting-paper. After twice
reading, I felt sure that I had made out correctly the following address:
Miss Giles, 2 Zion Place, Crickgelly, N. Wales.
It was hard under the circumstances, to form an opinion as to the handwriting;
but I thought I could recognize the character of some of the doctor's letters, even
in the blotted impression of them. Supposing I was right, who was Miss Giles?
Some Welsh friend of the doctor's, unknown to me? Probably enough. But why
not Alicia herself under an assumed name? Having sent her from home to keep
her out of my way, it seemed next to a certainty that her father would take all
possible measures to prevent my tracing her, and would, therefore, as a common
act of precaution, forbid her to travel under her own name. Crickgelly, North

Written by: Ted Vial
The three major founders of Protestantism are Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwingli, and John Calvin. Luther and Zwingli began their reform movements almost simultaneously—Luther in Germany and Zwingli in Switzerland. Both had been Roman Catholic priests; both began to criticize Catholic doctrine and practice based on their reading of the Bible in its original languages.
Luther was a law student returning to school after a semester break when he was caught in a thunderstorm, feared for his life, and realized that he was not sure of his salvation. This convinced him to become a monk, and he entered the Augustinian monastery at Erfurt. Though he was apparently a very conscientious monk, his strenuous efforts in the monastery did not reduce his anxiety about God's wrath. Trained as a biblical theologian, he was preparing a lecture on Paul's Letter to the Romans for his university students when he realized that the Greek of Romans 1:17 could mean either "the righteous shall live by faith" or "those who are righteous by faith shall live." The first had been taught by the Catholic Church, and implies that as one strives for righteousness (sinlessness), one is endowed with faith. The second implies that faith is a gift that one does not strive for, but that brings righteousness with it (i.e., made righteous by means of faith). Luther believed this to be the intent of Paul, and indeed of the entire Bible. This insight formed the core of his reform.
Zwingli was a priest trained as a humanist. This training led him to the principle of sola scriptura (scripture alone) in the same ways and at about the same time as Luther. When Erasmus published a Greek edition of the best Greek manuscripts of the New Testament available, Zwingli quickly bought it and then taught himself Greek so he could read it. When he was appointed priest at Zurich's Grossmünster (the most prominent cathedral in the German-speaking part of Switzerland), he announced that he would not preach from the lectionary but would preach the Book of Matthew straight through "from A to Z." In taking up this controversial practice he was in effect announcing that he would rely on the word of God found in scripture as the foundation of his teachings and practice.
John Calvin was trained in France as a humanist and as a lawyer. His first love, though, was theology, and as a student he decided that the Protestant beliefs and biblical interpretations were correct. He was forced to flee France, which was far from hospitable to Protestants. His intention was to pass through Switzerland to the city of Strasbourg, which was a Protestant city, and live the quiet life of a scholar. Spending the night on his trip in Geneva, he was met by William Farel (1489-1565), the leader of the Reform movement that had recently taken control of Geneva. Farel convinced Calvin that his duty was to stay and put God's reform into practice in Geneva, rather than to pursue his own desire to lead a quiet life.

Reciprocity Agreements | New Mexico Department of Public Safety
Given that things are in flux, I check it every morning to be sure my permits are still good. The list of valid permits is about half way down the page. If you do a search on this forum over the last 3 weeks or so, you'll get the history of NM dropping most states, then reversing. The story isn't over, they are still ... doing what they say on the web link above. No way to predict when or what further changes, as far as I can tell. They got a lot of pressure, for sure, so I'm guessing (only) that they will maintain quite a bit of reciprocity. I will note that Gov. Martinez made sure all the television stations taped her CCW requalification last year.

Free-to-play card game Rage of Bahamut lives among the top-grossing games on the iPhone and Android charts, right up there with Temple Run 2 and Minecraft. Tokyo-based developer Cygames recently revealed that half of its 20 million overall players are playing Bahamut. That would make it one of the most popular games in the world.
That's surprising because it's also a real piece of crap.
"Bahamut's success seems to tell today's game designers that a game with minimal interactivity, massively disorganized UI and incredibly confusing game design is the way to hook millions of players and make a fortune," said Arash Keshmirian, CEO of Limbic Software, in an e-mail.
For one of the most profitable English-language apps of the last year, Rage of Bahamut's interface is shockingly ugly. The fantasy-themed trading card game looks like two Yahoo! Geocities went to war with each other, with text scattered everywhere and dial-up speed load times between every page.
You can even scroll past the top and bottom of the screen, almost as if the entire game is being rendered in some sort of makeshift mobile web browser. Since the game only works if you have a network connection, this may actually be the case.
Once you're actually playing Bahamut, the goal is to level up and get lots of digital cards, each of which features anime artwork of goblins or scantily clad witch ladies. Level up more and get more witch ladies by completing quests and "battling" other players.
Quests consist of, as best as I can tell, little more than poking at static JPEGs of monsters that pop up on the screen. Tap them and they explode into a shower of coins. Actually, you don't even have to tap the monsters for them to explode. Just poke your phone anywhere on the screen like the fat-fingered slob you are, and those troublesome monsters will be crushed by your simulated might. Eventually, text reading "MISSION SUCCESSFUL" pops up on the screen, and lots of little meters fill and you'll probably level up or something.
The section of Bahamut that lets you "battle" other players is unlike the quests, because it doesn't even require input. The game checks both players' stats and then, in a gigantic, glitzy pop-up, informs you whether you won or lost based on those stats. No strategy, no interaction, all automated for the mobile gamer with plenty of time to tap buttons on an app, but no time to use his brains.
Occasionally, Bahamut will ask you to spend money on packs of "RageMedals," which can cost up to $100.
Rage of Bahamut is published in America by Mobage, a mobile gaming service that's also behind Marvel: War of Heroes, which is currently the third most-profitable iOS game in the US. That game is, perhaps unsurprisingly, an exact clone of Rage of Bahamut, but with Marvel-themed artwork.
"Bahamut goes against nearly everything we know," said Keshmirian. "Still, it manages to tap into a huge pocket of gamers few others have been targeting."
"I think card games like Bahamut still have a while to go before they really solidify themselves in the eyes of overseas gamers," Cygames director Yuito Kimura said to Famitsu magazine, as translated by Polygon.
Hopefully it's a long, long while.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

The resignation of Pope Benedict on Monday shocked Bay Area Catholics, but also gave hope to some of the faithful that his replacement might bring a more progressive and global view to the church that is struggling with membership and scandal.
While Pope Benedict's conservative positions on such hot-button Bay Area issues as gay marriage, contraception and women's equality are supported by mostly traditional, older Catholics, they are out-of-touch with others like Margie Chiechi.
"They need someone to come in now whose thinking needs to be a lot fresher," said Chiechi, 62, of San Jose, who attends Mass on Sundays and whose pets wear medals of St. Francis of Assisi. "First of all, I have a hard time with the church not accepting women as equals. It's like women are running the church, but there's a priest behind the altar. We're always one step behind."
Pope Benedict XVI has been accused of trying to bring back the church to a pre-Vatican II era and criticized for his handling of the sex abuse scandal that has plagued the church. Recently, he has delivered speeches attacking the legal recognition of same sex marriages and the ordination of women to the priesthood.
The Rev. Peter Pabst, president of Sacred Heart Nativity Schools near downtown San Jose that serves low-income mostly Latino students, praised the pope for "his courage for saying it's time for a change" and looks forward to a pope who is more progressive.
"I would like, for example, to see a pope who would say that divorced and remarried people can go to communion again," Pabst said. "Let's figure out a way to be inclusive and have a spot at the table for everybody."
The chances that the church might elect a more liberal pontiff is unlikely, says Thomas Cattoi, associate profession of Christology at Santa Clara University's Jesuit School of Theology. Pope Benedict appointed many of the Cardinals who will be choosing his successor. One third of the Cardinals are Italian and none are from the Bay Area. Cardinal Mahoney of the Los Angeles diocese, who was recently stripped of most of his duties due to his handling of the priest sex abuse scandal there, will still have a vote for the next pope.
"I am not going to tell you there will be major breaks in the church's policy on pretty much anything," Cattoi said Monday. "I doubt that very much. But there are surprises, like this one today."
It's been 600 years since a pope resigned and Cattoi speculates that the pope may be setting a new precedent for future popes to resign rather than muddle through their final ailing years.
"The pope has been very conservative," Cattoi said, "but his decision to step down is paradoxically very modern."
While the Bay Area may consider itself more liberal, Latino immigrants are bringing their conservative Catholic roots to California with them.
"Many are not in favor of same sex unions," Cattoi said. "In a way, the church will demographically by default become slightly more conservative."
Rose Jimenez, 67, who works as a secretary for Sacred Heart Nativity Schools in San Jose, says there is a generational divide among her Latino friends about Pope Benedict.
"If you speak to the younger generation, they would say he was too strict," she said. "I'm older, so I'm more of the old school."
Still, she said, she would like the church to allow priests to marry and women to serve as priests.
"How can a priest whose never been married or had children give advice to someone going through a divorce?" she said.
At the same time, she and her Latino neighbors still have a soft spot for Pope Benedict's predecessor.
"We'd like to get someone much like Pope John Paul. He was very charismatic," she said. " Everyone loved him."

Brazil is a nation transformed. This South American giant's growth is unique among other emerging nations for its wealth of food, energy and mining commodities.
Brazil's unfulfilled domestic demand, hyper growth potential and globally competitive returns have spurred M&A action, both inbound and outbound, during the past decade. However, only a select group of Canadians have been actively deal-making with Brazilians.
Rather than dwell on the reasons and implications of historic precedent, PwC's perspective is that Canadians are well-positioned to share in Brazil's growth. A number of emerging deal drivers suggest that transacting with Brazil will be a promising new frontier for Canadian dealmakers.
The aim of this publication is twofold—to provide insight into Brazil, and to share our view on opportunities in Brazil for Canadians.

"Two or Three" Book Club, Meeting 36
This meeting of the Anti-Grasshopper Club is now in session. Are we all here? . . . Good.
We knew this was coming, didn't we? Laura Ingalls Wilder couldn't have foreshadowed it more darkly if she'd painted them on. This may be the most awful part of the entire readalong--and one of the Top 5 Most Awful "Two or Three" Book Club Moments, up there with scenes straight out of Stephen King. Yet in the midst of that overwhelming misfortune comes this beam of light:
"I don't want to look any more," Mary said, and she went away from the window. Laura did not want to look any more, either, but she could not stop looking.
The hens were funny. The two hens and their gawky pullets were eating grasshoppers with all their might. They were used to stretching their necks out low and running fast after grasshoppers and not catching them. Every time they stretched out now they got a grasshopper right then. They were surprised. They kept stretching out their necks and trying to run in all directions at once.
"Well, we won't have to buy feed for the hens," said Ma. "There's no great loss without some gain."
That's a great passage, coming in the midst of some devastating descriptions of the damage caused by the grasshoppers--which read like that proverbial train wreck you can't drag your eyes away from. If you were looking at your family's farm, the hard labour of many months, and the beautiful prairie beyond being completely destroyed while you were powerless to do anything, no one would blame you for taking in only the huge loss. But the Ingalls can see the hens for the grasshoppers, and that makes all the difference. Ma reminds her family--and the readers--that as long as you can look at the hens and laugh, you will be saved from despair.
Besides, it's nice to think that in the midst of that grasshopper feeding frenzy, some of the invaders are getting eaten, too! But I'm just petty like that.
Two meetings ago, Bob recommended that I read a good biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder, in order to understand the books better. At this point, I'd rather read a good reference about grasshoppers. What natural purpose do they serve? Does it help nature when they all land in one place to eat everything in sight? I know they were part of an ancient plague, not just a modern one like "global warming," so we can't say we brought it on ourselves with our farming methods . . . or did we? Did any of the Benedictine monasteries with big farms every puzzle out a way to deal with these "locusts"? Are we all feeling friendlier toward pesticides now? Do pesticides even affect grasshoppers?
Several books ago, we also had a bit of an argument about whether or not the Ingalls family were "poor." I didn't find them "poor" in the Big Woods or on the prairie, but I do think they are "poor" now. But for the record, I have some strong theological issues with the idea that one cannot even afford to go to church.
They did not go to Sunday school any more. Carrie could not walk so far and she was too heavy for Ma to carry. Laura and Mary must save their shoes. They could not go to Sunday school barefooted, and if they wore out their shoes they would have no shoes next winter.
So on Sunday they put on their best dresses, but not their shoes or ribbons. Mary and Laura said their bible verses to Ma, and she read to them from the Bible.
It is the Sunday that Ma reads about the plague of the locusts which turns out to be the most grace-rich Sunday for them yet. And it has everything doesn't it? An Old Testament reading that seems fulfilled in the present, the backdrop of suffering, the imagery of a promised land,a cloud that possibly starts out as small as a human hand, and a virtual baptism when the heavens give up some rain. The only thing missing is the priest of this little domestic church.
Speaking of grace, this book has not one but two Christmases! I should have expected it, given the length of the text, but it was as big a surprise for me as it apparently was for the girls. But I do find it a little hard to believe that Christmas sneaked up on them that way . . . and despite all my grinching of late, I think the silence on Santa Claus was deafening. I'm not complaining, however, about what we get instead.
Standing in front of the crowded benches was a tree. Laura decided it must be a tree. She could see its trunk and branches. But she had never before seen such a tree.
Where leaves would be in summer, there were clusters and streamers of thin green paper. Thick among them hung little sacks made of pink mosquito-bar. Laura was almost sure that she could see candy in them. From the branches hung packages wrapped in coloured paper, red packages and pink packages and yellow packages, all tied with coloured string. Silk scarves were draped among them. Red mittens hung by the cord that would go around your neck and keep them from being lost if you were wearing them. A pair of new shoes hung by their heels from a branch. Lavish strings of white popcorn were looped over all this.
Under the tree and leaning against it were all kinds of things. Laura saw a crinkly bright wash-board, a wooden tub, a churn and dasher, a sled made of new boards, a shovel, a long-handled pitchfork.
She saw that Christmas tree once and never forgot a single detail. That's why I thought I'd write it all.
I'm so happy that Pa and Ma were not too proud to accept charity from their neighbours out East. (Was anyone else worried they might be?) Loving one's neighbour is an essential part of church membership, but we tend to forget that its logical flipside is being loved by one's neighbour, too.
But what beats out all that religious and holiday imagery to be my absolute favourite bit of these eight chapters is the story of Charlotte the rag doll. It shares the Christmas/Christian theme of gifts and loving one's (literal) neighbour, but it begins much more ominously . . .
Anna was a little larger than Carrie but she could not understand a word that Laura or Mary said, and they could not understand her. She talked Norwegian. It was no fun to play with her, and in the summertime Mary and Laura ran down to the creek when Mrs. Nelson and Anna came. But now it was cold. They must stay in the warm house and play with Anna. Ma said so.
"Now girls," Ma said, "go get your dolls and play nicely with Anna."
Was that Darth Vader's theme I just heard??? =O
In a nutshell, Charlotte is forcibly abducted, cruelly tortured and very nearly murdered by a miniature Nellie Oleson clone.
I was surprised at how emotional I became reading this episode. Although I hadn't been attached to Charlotte at all, I felt the same sick worry over her that I did over Jack when the creek swept him away in Little House on the Prairie and Laura "knew" she'd never see him again. (Relive the trauma in Meeting 25.) I shared Laura's distress at losing her, even if Laura hadn't been playing with her for a while--and I was very angry at Ma for making Laura give her to Anna Nelson just because the latter was "company" and "kicked and bawled" when Laura tried to take Charlotte back. Laura may not have been a gracious giver here, but Anna was an awful receiver. And what were their mothers thinking?!?!?! (Yes, I know: parents aren't perfect.)
Charlotte's chapter, "The Darkest Hour is Just before Dawn", may turn out to be the one I reread most often in the entire Little House series.
What are your thoughts on Chapters 25 to 32?
1) What is the moral of the story of Charlotte?
2) Have you ever had to choose between accepting charity and going completely without?
3) Well, how about those grasshoppers???
I realise that #2 is a really personal question, and I don't want anyone going all Anne Hathaway on me (Okay, who gets this?). If you'd rather not answer the questions, you can leave any comment you like. But it was something I asked myself, too . . . and my answer was that I'd take the charity and thank St. Joseph very much.

With leveraged finance hit hard by the credit crunch, Stuart Brinkworth considers what's in store for the beleagured sector
There is no doubt that the last two years have been the toughest in living memory for the leveraged finance market. Problems first began in the summer of 2007 with the onset of the credit crunch following the US subprime mortgage crisis. This led to a liquidity crisis, with banks finding themselves unable to source funding for new deals, and liquidity became worse not better throughout 2008.
Next came probably the worse banking crisis ever seen in modern history, with the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, which destroyed confidence in the sector and led to full or part nationalisation of UK banks, such as Northern Rock, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Lloyds TSB and Bank of Scotland.
As if this was not enough, the beginning of 2009 has seen the onset of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. During this period we have seen the UK's largest-ever corporate loss (RBS's £24bn) and the biggest manufacturing collapse in US history (General Motors).
Debt drop
For leveraged finance this 'perfect storm' has had a profound effect. In the first quarter of 2007, widely recognised as the peak of the market, $106bn (£64.45bn) of debt was provided for new buyouts. That figure dropped to $1.4bn in the first quarter of 2009, representing a 99 per cent drop.
The economic crisis has also seen default rates rise dramatically. By the end of 2010 it is expected that up to 24 per cent of leveraged deals by number (20 per cent of deals by value) will be in default. Mezzanine lenders have been the worst hit. Unlike the restructuring cycle of 2002, when the value 'broke' in the mezzanine (giving mezzanine some value in restructurings), because of the high lending multiples of 'earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation' (Ebitda) typified by the credit bubble of 2006-07, combined with the steep drop in valuation multiples as a result of the economic crisis, the value in most deals is breaking in the senior debt, leaving mezzanine lenders on many deals literally wiped out.
With many mezzanine funds themselves leveraged, this is expected to lead to some significant losses in some areas of the mezzanine industry, particularly with those participants that followed the market in 2006-07 rather than those that took a more cautious approach to credit.
Private equity
Private equity itself has also suffered. Raising cash for new funds has become increasingly difficult, albeit not impossible. With fewer realisations due to dropping valuations and increasing defaults, investors in private equity funds have suffered from their own liquidity crisis and the fear of investor default hangs over the industry. Many believe that some private houses will disappear altogether and that the industry may go through a period of consolidation, with only the most established and experienced players surviving.
So has this perfect storm set in motion a paradigm shift in the way that buyouts will be funded going forward?
Big change
In the big-ticket market there is some sense of a paradigm shift occurring. Debt funding for large cross-border transactions is going to be in short supply for the forseeable future. The debt for these transactions has historically been sold to institutional investors and collateralised debt obligation (CDO) funds. With the CDO markets in particular showing little sign of attracting new money, it is unclear where participant demand for this kind of debt will come from, raising issues as to the viability of underwriting. Instead deals of this size will undoubtedly be fewer and vendor finance will have a big part to play. The Barclays iShares deal is a good example of this.
Smaller comfort
The mid-market, in contrast, is showing no evidence that a paradigm shift will occur. Lending activity has continued, albeit on a much reduced basis. For deals up to £300m in enterprise value, almost £12bn was made available in 2007, with that falling to £7bn in 2008 and predicted to fall to around £2bn in 2009. Mid-market bankers expect lending to continue along a steady path, with lending levels in the mid-market predicted to reach around £4.5bn in 2013 (equivalent to 2004's levels).
So where does this leave leveraged finance? There is no doubt that certain aspects of the leveraged finance market have changed as a result of this perfect storm, in particular:
- the cost of funding for all banks has increased permanently;
- as a result banks will lend less and charge more for leveraged loans;
- banks will not create a market for leveraged loans or go after market share as they did before – a need for borrowing will need to be justified and lending will be more selective;
- banks and mezzanine lenders will insist on structures with significantly less leverage than before – meaning equity cheques will be bigger and average deal sizes will reduce as a result;
- private equity will have to focus more on deal origination and creating growth and value – ever-increasing lending multiples will no longer be available to fuel a secondary market or recapitalisations; and
- non-bank lenders, in particular debt funds, will have a greater role to play in the capital structures of deals going forward.
However, these changes can hardly be described as a paradigm shift, more a response to the perfect storm outlined previously, which will see a period of responsibility and caution in lending practices. Nothing revolutionary about that.
So while leveraged finance may appear to be in jeopardy, it is not scuppered in the mid-market at least. But the key to its recovery is whether the storm currently raging is truly subsiding or whether we are simply at the epicentre. The economy, like the weather, is unpredictable, and there will be many choppy waters to be navigated before safer seas are reached.

Witnesses to history discuss the Egyptian revolution, April 12
RIC professors Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban and Richard Lobban, internationally recognized scholars on Egypt and the Sudan, will provide a lecture on their experiences in Egypt during the onset of the revolution that toppled longtime president Hosni Mubarak, shaking the Middle East earlier this year.
Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban
The lecture, "Witness to History: The Egyptian Protest," will take place on Tuesday, April 12, at 12:30 p.m. in the Student Union Ballroom.
"These events directly affect U.S. foreign policy and will likely be transformative for the Middle East," said Fluehr-Lobban. "The Egyptian revolution is momentous. It's their first experiment with democratic rule in 5,000 years."
"In the 21st century we are all global citizens," added Fluehr-Lobban. "The youth of the world can be an inspiration for progressive social change, following this model played out in Egypt."
Fluehr-Lobban, RIC professor of anthropology, has received RIC faculty awards for both distinguished teaching and distinguished scholar. She has published many books, including "Modern Egypt and Its Heritage," "Islamic Law and Society in the Sudan," "Race and Identity in the Nile Valley: Ancient and Modern Perspectives" and "Race and Racism: An Introduction."
Richard Lobban
Lobban, RIC professor emeritus of anthropology, has been studying and visiting Africa since 1964. He has spent two years on the research staff at the American University in Cairo, Egypt, and has taught in Khartoum, Sudan, as well as in the U.S. at the University of Pittsburgh, Tufts, Bucknell, and Dartmouth.
The lecture is organized by the RIC Visiting International Student Association and sponsored by the Office of Student Life. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Hadassah, the women's Zionist group, has ended its relationship with Larry Blum, the chief operating officer whose allegations led to an investigation of top Hadassah executive board members. Blum had been on administrative leave since November amid a separate investigation into allegations that he misused his corporate credit card.
Blum's departure was confirmed by Hadassah. A spokesman said his contract with the organization, which ended April 30, was not renewed. Reached via telephone, Blum said he had not been contacted about the investigation into the credit card allegations since late November, and that the only information he had received from Hadassah about his termination related to his health insurance coverage.
A spokesman for Hadassah told the Forward that a Hadassah attorney contacted Blum via correspondence to his attorney within the last five weeks but had received no response.
Blum served as Hadassah's top-ranking staff member between May 2009 and his 2011 suspension. He was placed on leave over questions regarding expenses charged to his corporate credit card.
In a letter sent to Hadassah's board in January, Blum accused Hadassah's current president and immediate past president of misusing charitable funds. Hadassah announced in April that an investigation into the charges conducted by outside counsel had found Blum's charges baseless, though Hadassah would not release the details of the investigator's report or answer questions about it.
At the time, a spokesman for Hadassah said that the organization's investigation into Blum was ongoing.
Blum was dismissive of the investigation into the charges he had leveled against the volunteer leadership. "I believe three people that rely on the president for their portfolios going forward and a law firm that has been paid thousands of dollars in legal fees…is not a credible source to make a determination," Blum said, referring to the investigative committee of Hadassah board members and the law firm that investigated the charges.
Hadassah announced in April that it had hired Janice Weinman as its new chief executive officer. Weinman is slated to start work in June.

Question about games on HDD
I am going to be trading a tablet for a ps3 to a guy on craigslist, and he says he has a few games on the HDD. My question is, will I be able to access these games on my PSN account on that PS3 or would I need to be on his account?
Also, I wont be able to have him show me it works, as we will be meeting at the local walmart. Any ideas how I can get some proof out of this guy that it works?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Re: Question about games on HDD
Well, if you don't have a generator and a TV you can take with you, any proof he could offer will be suspect. You could have him do something similar to what terrorists do when they are trying to show someone is alive. Have him record himself showing the PS3 working and show a copy of today's newspaper all in one single clip so it's not edited in. He can bring the video camera with him and show you when you exchange.
As for the other question, the games will still reside on your console until you delete them or remove them. If he wipes the console before giving it to you, then the games will be gone. If you ever delete the games for any reason, they will be permanently un-accessible. You can delete the PSN account and the games will still be there. But deleting the PSN account or losing the login for the account will make it so you can't download it again.
In other words, the content will stay there, but should you ever need to re-download the content, you will need access to PSN from the account it was bought from. I'm guessing that he will remove his account or at least make it forget the login. If he is smart he will. Otherwise you would just buy a bunch of crap hoping his credit card is still stored in the wallet.

SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. -- Google rolled out automatic local search for mobile phones called "Search with My Location." When you search for "pizza," you get restaurants near your current location first. The service only works on some phones, and does raise privacy issues, but it's a real step toward a location-aware future.
Google figures out your location by either cell-ID (it knows the location of the cell phone tower you're using, and figures out where you are from that information), or GPS -- depending on the phone. It works only with Internet Explorer Mobile for Windows Mobile devices that support cell-ID or GPS. Here's the list of compatible phones.
Google also claims to be working with a smattering of handset manufacturers to build in the capability to support this kind of location awarenes.
So we can look forward to the convenience and power of location-awareness -- and the controversy of Google always knowing where you are.

The red light emitted by a He-Ne laser has a wavelength of 633 nm in air and travels at 3.00 × 10^8 m/s. Find the frequency of the laser light.
2 Answers | Add Yours
Any wave has three parameters, the velocity of the wave v, the frequency of the wave f and the wavelength w. These are related to each other by the relation v = w*f
The red-light of the He-Ne laser has a velocity 3*10^8 m/s. Its wavelength is 633 nm or 633*10^-9 m.
If the frequency of the wave is f, 3*10^8 = 633*10^-9*f
=> f = 3*10^8/633*10^-9 Hz
=> f = 4.739*10^14 Hz
The required frequency of the light emitted by the He-Ne laser is 4.739*10^14 Hz.
speed= 3.0*10^8m/s
wavelength=633nm You have to change the unit nm to m
To do that you have to multiply by 10^-9
Frequency= 4.7*10^14Hz

About MeHi, I'm Chloë and I'm an actress from Dublin in Ireland. I've been modeling on and off for the past three years. I usually do all my own styling but I don't mind working with makeup artists and hair stylists when a certain look is required. My personal style is quite gothic and punky but I also love 1950s fashion and my look is very versatile, I can change my hair and makeup and look completely different as I am needed to. I don't do fetish, underwear or nude work. I would like to meet photographers in the Dublin area to work on some shoots, if you want to get in touch with me you can send me a private message.
Thanks for stopping by. :)

Disconnect the vacuum advance hose and plug the vacuum source on the carburetor. Adjust the idle speed screw down as low as possible and check the timing. The initial timing advance should be 10 - 12 crank degrees BTDC at 650 - 800 RPM. After the initial timing is set, reconnect the vacuum advance hose and you are done.
The full timing advance is built into the distributor by the centrifugal (mechanical) advance mechanism and should be a total 34 - 36 degrees BTDC above 2000 RPM. The vacuum "advance" is actually a timing limiting device in order to prevent the mechanical advance from advancing too much or too fast. The amount of advance allowable by the vacuum advance device is stamped on the vacuum advance mounting plate and is 12 cam degrees. 12 cam degrees x 2 = 24 crank degrees mechanical advance. Therefore: 10 degrees initial advance + 24 degrees mechanical advance = 34 crank degrees total advance.
If you are seeing 60 crank degrees advance, with the vacuum advance mechanism is still connected to a vacuum source, the vacuum advance mechanism is bad, or the weight ring on the harmonic damper has slipped. I have worked on Chevy and Pontiac engines since 1962 and I have never seen a weight ring that has slipped. Just lucky or I don't abuse them.

Physics 399 – Senior Seminar, Fall 2013
Welcome to Senior Seminar! In this course you will write a scientific paper (your thesis); learn how to give a scientific presentation in oral or poster format, and present both types; hear lectures by eminent scientists and interact with them; learn more about careers available to you when you finish at Haverford; get into contact with alums who have gone in career directions of interest to you; learn about graduate school and how to go about selecting and applying to schools; and participate in discussions on topics relevant to science.
This course serves as the capstone for
the physics & astrophysics majors, providing a venue for you to write your
senior thesis and give your senior poster (both due end of spring semester.)
The grade for this course primarily is based upon the faculty's evaluation of
your performance on the senior thesis and poster. (You receive a separate grade
for the quality of your research per se if you are taking research for credit.)
You will give a talk in finals week, fall semester, on the intro and background to your senior thesis; you will also submit a paper on this material by the end of finals period, fall semester. These assignments break the ice on your senior thesis, allowing you to learn how to do these tasks in more manageable parts and giving you lots of time for feedback and planning before the real thing. You will get regular feedback and advice from your research supervisor and others as you write your actual thesis and plan your senior presentation.
You will also learn about science culture and science skills in approximately weekly meetings in the fall and occasional meetings in the spring:
We will have
opportunities for you to interact with past graduates of our departments and
you will be able to access a database of our departmental alumni sorted by
career, background and year of graduation.
You are also required to attend all designated colloquia and research talks in the departments of physics and astronomy, and to participate in designated events surrounding the visits of our research visitors. These are invaluable opportunities to learn about the world beyond Haverford and we urge you to make the optimal use of them! Many of our majors have come away from these events with contacts that have determined their futures in important ways.
Fall meetings will be held Wednesday 1 to 2pm in KINSC L205, except as announced by e-mail.
Requirements (Fall)
• Attend all scheduled meetings of the seminar.
• Attend all candidate visits, Philips visits, and department colloquia. In addition to the usual number of visitors, we will have five candidates coming on campus for our search for a "replacement" for Jerry Gollub. We hope you will also attend the informal meetings with our visitors. They enjoy talking with students and these informal gatherings are a great way to find out more about speaker and what he or she is up to.
• Read assigned selections and participate in class
• Conduct phone or Skype interviews with two alums, present your results of each interview to class orally, and write up a brief summary of each.
• Write a short paper consisting of a preliminary version of the introduction and background sections of your senior paper (4-5 pages typically), a short (one page) progress report on the actual status of the project, and a bibliography that puts your work in its proper scholarly context. This is due at the end of the semester.
• Give a 10-15 minute presentation to the seminar about the intro/background part of your senior paper project during Finals Period.
You will receive one grade at the end of the academic year for Phys 399 as a whole. (The grade of CIP, course in progress, will besubmitted at the end of the fall semester provided all fall requirements were met.) The physics faculty working together assigns grades in the senior seminar according to the following approximate weighting factors:
Fall semester
Quality of senior poster
Senior paper (Spring semester)
A reduction of 0.5 grade point will be applied per unexcused absence if more than one occurs per semester. (This includes attendance at required colloquia and senior talks.)
Homework for next week:
1) Talk to your thesis advisor, and decide on a tentative title for your thesis. (It's fine if this gets changed later.) Be ready to give this title in class next week.
2) Read at least two of the career summaries based on phone interviews conducted by previous students. Be ready to tell the class the two names and the most important thing you learned from reading each summary.

I've talked to about 10 dealers now. Like I'm doing here, I'm trying to get as much info as possible to make an educated choice on a bike. Amazingly, whatever technology is on the bike that any given dealer carries is the best. They have pros for their stuff and cons for everyone else's. Can you all just give me the pros and cons of each?
Thank you VERY much.

So after when I heard the song on the radio we were going to the store and then my mom bought it for me she is the best mom in the world! When I got that CD and when I got home I listened to that album right away! Probably in 2 days I knew the whole album! Probably my favorite song from her album Taylor Swift world is "Our Song" I like that song because I love the beat and rhythm to it! Another thing about me is I am going to be learning how to play guitar soon and for Christmas I got the Speak Now guitar book which I can't wait to learn!! Also my favorite song to Fearless in Forever and always because I absolutely love the music video to it I just think is amazing! And my favorite song from Speak now is the song title Speak Now! My favorite song from RED will have to be I knew you were trouble, 22, or we are Never ever getting back together! Whenever I am upset when I get home from school or something that made me upset I would just get my iPod and put on one of Taylors albums or I would just come on here to look at what other Swifties have to say or maybe just do both listen to her and come on here! I just can't believe Taylor sold 1,208,000 copies of her album in one week. And How many 22 year old girls do you know that can say "I own 6 Grammys and have broken multiple world records.

has signed country music star Taylor Swift to promote Diet Coke, per sources close to the situation. The move comes on the heels of Pepsi penning a $50 million deal with Beyoncé Knowles six weeks ago and largely underscores an ongoing battle for the youth/music market between the soda industry's two titans.

Demise, units and celebrity drove the quest for more data on Google's search engine this year.
Three of the arena's four quickest-rising search requests on Google have been brought on by the deaths of famous males.
Former South African President Nelson Mandela, who died earlier this month, occupied the top spot, followed through "quick & furious" movie famous person Paul Walker, who died in a Nov. 30 automobile crash. "Glee" television series cast member Cory Montecito, who died of a drug overdose in July, ranked fourth in an annual retrospective launched Tuesday.
The Boston Marathon bombings in April that killed three folks ranked sixth.
The iPhone 5S, the newest improve in Apple's hottest product line, completed third in Google's rankings. A rival smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S4, took the eighth spot. Playstation 4, Sony Corp.'s newest video game console, held the ninth position.
The highest 10 used to be rounded out with the aid of the "Harlem Shake," a tune that impressed a procession of fun dance videos, at No. 5; "royal baby" Prince George, the heir to England's throne, at No. 7; and North Korea, who's saber-rattling has transform a source of world rigidity, at No. 10.
Google's evaluation follows annual spherical-americacompiled all over the previous two weeks by means of its major search opponents – Microsoft Corp.'s Bing, Yahoo Inc. and Ask.com. Despite the fact that its record regularly comes closing each and every year, Google's breakdown in most cases provides the greatest insight into the sector's collective mindset since the firm's technology strategies about two out of every three search requests made on the web.
Bing ranks a distant 2nd with 18 % of the U.S. search market, and even less in most other international locations. Yahoo, which relies on Bang's technology, handles the 1/3 most search requests.
Because the same inquiries are likely to crop up from three hundred and sixty five days to the following, Google tries to keep its list contemporary by means of focusing on the queries that put up the largest annual positive factors – a measurement that the Mountain View, California, firm calls "trending."
Google also is chopping its huge database of search requests into a hodgepodge of other classes spanning 72 international locations, up from fifty five remaining year. Within the U.S. alone, Google is compiling more than 90 totally different lists inspecting the freshest inquiries about the whole thing from budget to popular culture.
A handful of the rankings are in accordance with the entire choice of requests entered into Google's search engine, as a substitute of breaking them down by means of the variance from last 12 months.
Google's pecking order of the most-searched folks within the U.S. consists exclusively of singers, aside from fact-television convey big name Kim Kardashian, who's engaged to be married to one in all her friends on the record, hip-hop artist Kane West (she ranks No. 3, whereas he came in at No. 10). The highest spot is held with the aid of Mile Cyrus, who additionally was No. 1 in Yahoo's search rankings for these 12 months (Kardashian ranked second on Yahoo's listing).
Cyrus, Kardashian and Justin Bieber have been the only three folks to look in every of the most-searched lists from Google, Bing and Yahoo. The lists of most-searched people on Google and Bing shared probably the most in style, with six stars showing in both classes. Beside Cyrus, Kardashian and Bieber, the other three to make the cut on both Google and Bing were Bayonne Knowles (No. 1 on Bing, No. 5 on Google); Riana (No. 3 on Bing, No. 6 on Google); and Taylor Swift (No. 4 on Bing, No. 7 on Google).
The web surfers who use Bing naturally have moderately different tastes in television from people who search on Google.
Only two collection, "large Bang concept" and "giant Brother" appeared in each of the 2 rival's rankings' of the year's most-searched TV presentations. "Big Bang conception" ranked first on Bang's checklist, a big difference held by "Breaking unhealthy" in Google's rankings. the two engines like Google could not agree on the preferred morning news express both, with NBC's "these days convey" making it on Bang's listing of most typical TV requests and ABC's "good Morning the use" securing a spot on Google's checklist.
Google used to be by itself checklist of trending shares this yr, ranking No. 4. that's no longer an enormous surprise, given the corporate market worth has surged with the aid of about 50 percent up to now this year, its biggest acquire on Wall street due to the fact 2008. That was once still now not sufficient to surpass Google rival fib Inc. on the listing of trendiest stocks. Face book's shares have more than doubled so far this year. After facebook came electrical automotive maker Tesla Motors, whose inventory has greater than quadrupled this year, and on-line messaging carrier Twitter Inc., whose stock has more than doubled due to the fact its Wall side road debut last month?

Worked well for me!!!
I just happened to stumble across Rose Massage Oil by NOW Foods while browsing the site I thought it might work well in a homemade rosewater lotion. The price was great, so why not try it. Alone, the scent of this oil isn't very strong but it did indeed work well in my lotion. Combing this with the rosewater & other ingredients made for a wonderfully, light floral lotion (without the addition of pricey essential oils) that actually does moisturize quite well.
Moisturizing, great price, great when using as an ingredient rather than alone.
The scent isn't very strong.

Stuff Is Garbage
All you can really smell is the carrier oils and the rose is very weak. I could have bought an ounce of an inexpensive essential oil cut it with my carrier oil and done a lot better job and come out with a real aromatheraphy massage oil. Save your money and dont waste it on this junk!!
The rose scent is very weak. You smell more carrier oil than you do rose.

Zurich: As retailers stock up for Christmas, the No. 1 maker of computer mice is fighting to increase its share of the computer accessories market in an increasingly mouse-less world.
Founded in a farmhouse near the small Swiss town of Romanel-sur-Morges in 1981, Logitech's star rose rapidly in the 1980s when it marketed the first modern computer mouse, developed at the nearby Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.
Since then the Swiss-American company has shipped more than a billion mice and introduced a successful line-up of PC accessories including keyboards, cameras and speakers.
But like many other household names in the industry, including Intel, Hewlett Packard and IBM , Logitech is having trouble adapting to a market increasingly dominated by the tablets and smartphones that make much of its product line redundant.
"There is no doubt that the industry of classic computers, which is a big part of our business, is changing," Logitech's president Bracken Darrell told Reuters, speaking from the company's US headquarters in Newark, California.
After a dismal 2011/12 financial year, when Logitech issued back-to-back profit warnings and sacked its top management, the company promised investors a range of "explosive new products".
The revamped line-up of audio products for both smartphones and tablets – including headphones, speakers, a WiFi-connected smart radio and a boombox – ultimately failed to grip the imagination, leaving many investors wondering about the company's future growth prospects.
Logitech's share price remains nailed below seven Swiss francs, against its historic high of 41.52 francs back in 2007, prior to Apple's launch of the first generation iPhone and back when it was seen as the Apple of computer accessories.
"The products recently launched are solid but no real game changers," said Credit Suisse technology analyst Chris Gretler.
The group's shares took a fresh knock on 25 October, plunging more than 16 percent, when the company released a dismal set of second quarter numbers, reflecting sliding PC sales.
According to data from market research firm IDC, global PC shipments fell another 8.6 percent in the third quarter.
Year-on-year sales have been down in each of the company's past four quarters.
"Two-thirds of Logitech's business still depends on PC sales while customers spend an ever-increasing part of their budget on mobile computing," said Andreas Mueller, technology analyst at Zuercher Kantonalbank (ZKB).
Although Logitech is catering increasingly to mobile users, the need for add-ons in this segment is much lower, he said.
Semir Saleh, 25, is a case in point. A video-designer from London who is in Zurich freelancing for Swiss internet companies, Saleh said he had very little use for accessories.
"The iPad comes with everything I need," he said. "I use for instance Skype a lot. The new one even comes with a camera so there is no need to buy one."
