Microsoft's "On the Whiteboard" video series is beginning to show us how terrifying the Redmond campus actually is. Last week our host, Pamela Woon, took us on a tour to a place where no one can hear you scream. This week we are touring a building that is described by Surface team member, Ben Reed, as "a medieval dungeon where each room has a device that is a torture chamber."

Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/10/1999
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: The plant bug family Miridae is the largest and most important group of true bugs. Numerous species, such as lygus bugs, are of considerable agricultural importance, whereas others, such as species of Phytocoris, serve as effective predators of pest species. This paper provides the description of a new genus and species found in fig, Ficus sp., in southern Brazil. A discussion of its relationship to other genera in the subfamily Phylinae is discussed. This information will be useful to biological control researchers studying the insects of Ficus and to identifiers and regulatory personnel monitoring Neotropical bugs.
Technical Abstract: The new genus Platyscytisca is described to accommodate the new species P. bergmannae, collected in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Ficus sp. A dorsal and ventral habitus, male genitalia, male genital capsule, and male and female antennae are illustrated to help with recognition. Amazonophilus Carvalho and Costa is resurrected from synonymy under Platyscytus Reuter, and its relationship to Platyscytisca is discussed.

Classic Comfort!
By Granite
from St. John's
Well made classic palazzo pant. Bought these to match one of the tops. Note that these are a knit fabric and not the same as the tops. I ordered the 3X and they were huge on me. Returned them for a 2X which are 4" smaller, but the same length. I fear I may be a 1.5X!! Still, love Marla Wynne fashions!

Marla Wynne Knit Pant
By Chantal
from Brossard, Qc
this is the 4th or 5th piece from her; but the first pant. Quality fabric the knit is soft and make it look stylist! When I brought these pant to my seamstress she was horrified to have to shorten these; this beautiful bottom ripple edge. They are for average gals; I bit long and I am 5'6". Understand most of us are not 5'9" like your models.
petite length
By NANCY
from BURLINGTON
Nice material, but unfortunately very short! I am 5'6" and thin and these are WAY too short. Should be advertised as petite height. Disappointed these are not made for regular height.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

99 Tahoe starting problems
problems starting even after battery and alternator change. All the cables are new and the starter appears to be good. No other noticeable issues with charging system. Gauge reads 14 volts. Help!
probably your starter. does it sound weak? like its trying hard to start?
starter sounds fine once it has enough power to turn it
Does it start easier when it's cold?
I'm in Phoenix, Arizona. This time of year our lows are only in the high 70's. It has had a problem right after shutting off and after setting all night. I have now pulled the starter and it checks out fine as do the cables. Any ideas?
Just a comment on a problem my wife's Tahoe had that drove me nuts for a couple of months. Her Tahoe would just quit while slowing down for a stop light or sign. It would not crank the first or second time you tried to restart it, but it eventually would. We have an alarm system on it that controls the door locks and a starter interupt. When it would quit the door locks would go up and down and the alarm would arm-disarm. Then the starter interupt would kick in and would not allow a restart until the alarm had been reset. Naturally I suspected the alarm system, and disconnected it as a test. My wife took of in the Tahoe and about 10 minutes later called me on her cell phone to tell me it died again, but restarted. I have to add that I never witnessed the problem. Well one Sunday morning as we were leaving for churh we got in the Tahoe and it was completely dead, nothing worked, no lights, nothing. I left the key in the on position and pulled the hood release. When I pulled the hood release everything started working. I raised the hood and started looking for something. Finding nothing glaringly wrong, I slammed the hood down and everything quit again. What it turned out to be was, the Tahoe has two positive battery cables on the positive battery post. They are stacked on top of each other with a long battery bolt. Tightening the bolt eliminated the problem for about a month. Next time it happend I was driving it. I exited the vehicle, raised the hood and giggled the positive battery cable, restarted and drove home. Upon completely removing the two positive battery cables I discovered a large abount of corrosion between the two cable ends were they layed on top of each other. I completely cleaned the contact points and reassembled the cables to the battery. It has been fine ever since.
I'm not saying this is your problem, just saying don't take it for granted that your cables are OK and you have a good contact at the battery. Check it closely and take nothing for granted.
you might want to check out your main relay... the small amount of current from turning your key trips a relay making everything happen... likely a double action relay that should ctrl fuel/air mix, O2 sensor and everything right down to your fuel pump... this would explain why your alternator and starter are going strong but it won't start... it's probably cranking w spark but no fuel...
sometimes the coil on the relay will get stuck [especially in high heat situations like turning the car off to refuel then trying to start] and this could be causing intermittant starting problems...
just a guess... check this out w someone who knows more about the setup gm is running these days and see if this could be the problem...
regardless, hope it helped...

Equalising Opportunities, Minimising Oppression
€ 60,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Dezember 2001
BeschreibungAnti-Racist Practice (ARP), Anti-Discriminatory Practice (ADP) and Anti-Oppressive Practice (AOP) form a trinity of concepts, nested into one another, which have evolved in welfare services over the last fifteen years. They tend to have developed as forms of practice panaceas and as a result have been subject to both unrealistic expectations and, at times, to political ridicule. This book clarifies the distinctions between three key concepts - ARP, ADP and AOP. Critically and constructively analysing these three approaches to practice it reappraises their potential in the light of emerging equality issues in the health service With contributions from leading teachers and practitioners in the field, Equalising Opportunities provides students and practitioners in health and social care with a clear overview of an area where there is much confusion and imperfect understanding.

Anti Discriminatory Practice: What Does it Mean, How Do We Make It A Reality? 4. Anti Oppressive Practice 5. The Political Challenge of Anti Racism 6. Equal Opportunities in the NHS 7.

Kit Shipping
From our Home to Yours
Let's talk about how your kit gets from our dock to your home. Factory Five kits are sold to all 50 states and in most countries, FOB Wareham, MA. This means that you will have to pay for shipping or come pick up your kit. Here are some options.
A lot of customers arrange their own shipping through a company called Stewart Transport (602-242-1800). The guy that runs the place is named Collin Stewart and he has done a great job over the years. Stewart Transport picks up kits from our dock and delivers them to your driveway for one flat rate. Stewart has dedicated trucks with electric cranes so you don't have to order a crate from us. Stewart Trucking is an independent company.
Pick-ups at Factory Five
If you want to pick up your kit at our facility there is no charge. We usually schedule pick-ups for Saturday mornings. This makes it easier on our staff than during a normal operating day. It also is usually more convenient to our customers who have day jobs. If you're picking up the kit at our place you also save the crate fee.
Before your pick-up date, make sure to confirm the date with our staff and also review trailer dimensions to make sure everything will fit. We've coordinated hundreds of kit pick-ups and we want to help make sure yours goes smoothly. Give us a call and let us know your plans if they change from the time you order your kit. It's as easy as that.
Commercial Freight
We can ship your kit in a custom made crate via a commercial carrier of your choice. We work with many major freight carriers (Yellow, ABF, etc). The crate dimensions are 16' long by 52" tall by 6'6" wide and it weighs 1650 lbs. The crate is made of a base layer of 4" x 4" lumber, a floor of ¾" tongue-in-groove plywood. The sides are 2" x 4" reinforced, 3/8" sheet plywood, and the top is ¾" tongue-in-groove plywood. Fork truck or pallet jack access is from front or rear. We charge for a crating fee and when you see the strength and complexity of the box, you won't grumble too much about the price.

Behind the Headlines: Our World Could End, Just Not in One Day
Behind the Headlines: The social causes in current events.
In a unique take on daily news hits, Free The Children founders Craig and Marc Kielburger go behind the headlines to explore how the stories you read are connected to the causes you care about. You'll never read the news in the same way again.
The headline that caught our attention: "Rogue planets, ancient civilizations and the end of the world."
The end is nigh. The signs are everywhere. The Twinkie is nearing extinction; Oxford English Dictionary proclaimed "GIF" a word of the year; Ann Coulter released another book; Australia's Prime Minister just delivered a deadpan video message warning of a zombie invasion.
These are dark times.
Conspiracy theorists say the world will actually end on the darkest day, the winter solstice, December 21, 2012. So, like, next week, we could be toast.
Predictions, drawn from misinterpretations of ancient cultures and celestial alignments, involve a rogue planet and the "end of the world," to be interpreted variously as Earth's destruction or a "renewal of consciousness."As NASA explains on their website, this particular doomsday myth began with a planet discovered by ancient Sumerians that the Space Administration claims no record of called Nibiru or Planet X, which was first set to collide with Earth in the spring of 2003. But when nothing happened the apocalypse was rescheduled and has since been fused with the "end" of the Mayan long count calendar, the Gregorian equivalent of Dec 21, 2012.
Scholars have noted that the ancient Maya didn't interpret the long count calendar's end as the end; another long count calendar will begin. But not everyone reads the fine print.
Scientist David Morrison has been inundated with questions on his "Ask an Astrobiologist" webpage about the logistics of doomsday and the optimal time to euthanize pets; NASA had to take the hysteria seriously enough to post an FAQ on their website. Here's a sampling:
"Is NASA predicting a 'total blackout' of Earth on Dec. 23 to Dec. 25?"
"Is there [a planet] approaching Earth and threatening our planet with widespread destruction?"
Official responses are variations of: no, of course not. But these are real questions directed at NASA -- with frequency. They represent a genuinely disconcerting worldview for many reasons, one of which is the implication that humanity bears no responsibility for the fate of the world.
Let's assume that the world will remain intact for a little while longer. And let's assume that our behaviour might shorten or prolong its lifespan.
There are a number of ways in which the world as we know it could end, not with a bang or with a whimper. Given our propensity for unsustainable consumption, it will most likely be at the hands of humankind: methane gas emissions from melting permafrost, a global food crisis or the ensuing riots, fresh water shortages, ozone depletion or carbon clouds trapped in the atmosphere.
Real threats to our existence are decidedly less sexy than a rogue planet's collision course with Earth or the appropriation of ancient cultures to fuel conspiracy theories. Apocalyptic fiction is much more entertaining -- who wants to watch a multi-million dollar Michael Bay blockbuster about slowly reversing the effects of permafrost methane emissions?
We prefer our problems to have archetypal, mythic narratives attached to them. We prefer our solutions to be beyond control of the average person but just within reach of a motley crew of space scientists. If it can't be solved with 90 minutes of explosions and dubious plot lines, it's just too troublesome and overwhelming to fret over in our daily lives.
There are no quick fixes for Earth's actual predicament.
But like any problem worthy of consideration, doomsday can be solved with mass consumerism. The apocalypse has a niche market, with retailers hawking underground bunkers and, absurdly, "End of the World Survival Guides". Because no one wants to be caught in the middle of an apocalypse without a three-month supply of freeze-dried food.
If that fails, we still have time to assemble a dream team.
Needed: an attractive, female astrophysicist with a South African accent to wear heels while running from space debris; an unsociable NASA scientist; a civilian, probably a bearded David Duchovny who's been right all along; an ex-US Marine to begrudgingly take on one last mission before retirement. Your assignment: build one of those rockets to collide with the planet moments before it destroys Earth, sending its fiery fragments splashing into the ocean.
Help make 2012 the year the world didn't end
The Kyoto Protocol (from which Canada withdrew) is set to expire this month, just 10 days after doomsday. What better time to start lobbying governments or industrialists for emissions reductions and other policies or products that actually tackle global warming?
At home, the holiday season is as good a time as any to consider our wasteful habits. String up LED lights, the most energy-efficient of the luminous decor options. Wrap presents in recycled paper and make your own gifts if you can manage it. Encourage children to donate one of their presents to a toy bank rather than buy more gifts for donation. And everywhere possible, purchase environmentally friendly, sustainably-made products.
We promise: Christmas is still coming this year.
As the Christian Science Monitor reports, the "Prophet Hen of Leeds," a domesticated fowl in England, began laying eggs that bore the message "Christ is coming" in 1806, leading locals to believe the end of the world was upon them. Charles Mackay's 1841 book, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, describes it thus: "Great numbers visited the spot, and examined these wondrous eggs, convinced that the day of judgment was near at hand. Like sailors in a storm, expecting every instant to go to the bottom, the believers suddenly became religious, prayed violently, and flattered themselves that they repented them of their evil courses. But a plain tale soon put them down, and quenched their religion entirely. Some gentlemen, hearing of the matter, went one fine morning, and caught the poor hen in the act of laying one of her miraculous eggs. They soon ascertained beyond doubt that the egg had been inscribed with some corrosive ink, and cruelly forced up again into the bird's body. At this explanation, those who had prayed, now laughed, and the world wagged as merrily as of yore."
U.S.-based religious broadcaster Pat Robertson told followers: "I guarantee you by the end of 1982 there is going to be a judgment on the world." As the Christian Science Monitor reports, Robertson has said that God told him about pending disasters on numerous occasions -- including a West Coast tsunami in 2006, and a terrorist attack in 2007 -- neither of which occurred. "I have a relatively good track record," he has said. "Sometimes I miss."
Followers of the "Hyoo Go" (Rapture) movement, a collection of Korean "end-times" sects, firmly believed that Jesus was coming in 1992. When the prophesied events failed to pass, much turmoil broke out among the sects, and some followers tried to attack their preachers with knives.
The teachings of Michel de Nostrdame (or Nostradamus) have been translated and re-translated over time, but many of his followers believed that in the seventh month of year 1999, "a great king of terror will come from the sky," and would thus end the world.
Harold Camping, the head of a Christian broadcast group called Family Radio, has been predicting for years that the day would take place on May 21, 2011. Though he had claimed earlier that the world would end in Sept. 1994, that month passed without cataclysmic results. He has since said he'd miscalculated and that the apocalyptical flood would take place in May 2011.
Several scientists and speculators had proposed numerous astronomical alignments hinting at the planet's demise, based on the view that the calendar of the ancient Mayan civilization ends on Dec. 21, 2012. There is a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012, which is said to be the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mayan long count calendar.
Craig and Marc Kielburger are founders of international charity and educational partner, Free The Children. Its youth empowerment event, We Day, is in eight cities across Canada this year, inspiring more than 100,000 attendees. For more information, visit www.weday.com

Bachlelor of Arts in Theatre (B.A.)
Our Design/Technical track provides students with opportunities to develop the skills of theatre designers and technicians. Students can take classes in costume, lighting and scene design where they learn analysis, rendering and communication skills that prepare them to work on department productions. While honing their design skills in class, students also learn the technical skills necessary to make their designs a reality in the scene and costume shops. Young designers often find work as stitchers, carpenters, electricians and scenic artists. This track is also helpful for students interested in stage management.
Many students interview with and are hired by professional theatre companies in the summer. Our Design/Tech students have worked as technicians for the following theatres:
Interview skills and design portfolios are assessed each year to meet the department student-learning outcome that students will be prepared to interview for professional theatre.

On August 4th, 2013, the Miami Dolphins for the first time will be sporting their new look for this upcoming season. According to the Dolphins website, the Dolphins could be wearing white for the next two games.
Back in April, Paul Lukas of Uni-watch.com, a website that talks about jerseys and team uniforms, said that the Dolphins didn't need to "fix what was not broken." He said the Dolphins new jerseys, with the absence of the orange no longer "pop" like they have in the past.
Whether we agree with his expert opinion, the Dolphins will be wearing the new uniforms and have already taken steps to make those available to us as fans.
Whether you love the aqua or the white jersey, getting the number and player right should be your focus. So many times, we make a purchase on a Dolphins jersey and the player is gone. If you are like me, I have been focusing on getting Marino jerseys from every season through reputable collectors on Ebay. However, now is the time to move on and get some new threads with the new look and logo.
Before you go crazy and start shopping for your jersey, take a look at what you have to choose from. NFL jerseys come in three styles: Game, Limited, and Elite (authentic) and all from Nike.
The Game jersey and Limited jersey have the same exact sizing. The thing that separates the two, is the Limited has tackle twill numbers that are sewn on and are more of a true look to the jersey worn on the field. In addition, the Limited features the same Nike Flywire design that prevents the neck of the jersey from stretching.
The cost difference between the Game jersey and the Limited is about 35 dollars based on retailer pricing at the Dolphins store and the nflshop.com. The Limited costs more, but you get a jersey that is closer to the exact model worn on the field. Not to mention, it doesn't look abnormally big when worn.
The elite jersey is the authentic jersey that most of us jersey aficionados are familiar with. If you are like me, you have 4 or more authentic jerseys hanging in your closet. Everything from Wilson to Nike to Reebok. The Elite jersey is cut a tad bigger so it can go over football pads. Not to mention it is more breathable and under the arms it has gussets or holes to have heat escape the jersey more easily. Nike constructed the Elite jersey to be sleek and have features that allow the jersey to standout.
The authentic could run upwards of $300 and for the Dolphins they are not yet available. I have been checking every day. However they will be soon enough. My guess is they will sell quickly because of the new logo and many Dolphins fans have already adapted quickly to the wave of the future.
As far as players are concerned, this is just more of my opinion in how I pick a jersey.
1. Number of years left on contract.
2. Productive contribution to the offense or defense.
3. Long term staying power as a Dolphin
4. Popularity
If I were to rank the players that I'd get a jersey of right now, this is a list of the players I'd look at getting.
1. Cameron Wake: A ton of fans love Cam Wake. The former CFL standout and undrafted rookie earned a spot on this team. Last season he earned his second Pro Bowl bid because he can create nightmares for opposing quarterbacks and has earned double digit sacks in two of the past three seasons. His hard work and determination make him a fan favorite for the Dolphins.
2. Brian Hartline: Mainstay in Miami. Had an above average year last year and as a result is signed for 5 years. He will be a force this season should he get the ball into the end zone. Biggest upside for Hartline is when Mike Wallace earns double coverage, Hartline will be open thus creating more opportunities.
3. Reshad Jones: Even though he is in a contract year, Reshad Jones has shown up to OTAs, mini-camps, and has been productive in training camp. As the starter, no one at this point will unseat him from his position. If he continues to showcase his skills as a ball-hawk and game-changer, the Dolphins will keep him in Miami.
4. Ryan Tannehill: While in his second season, he has the lead in jerseys sold on the Dolphins. Tannehill has much to prove in 2013 in more areas than one. Mainly, if he throws for 40 touchdowns, Tannehill will be on the Dolphins for his career. If he throws for 25-30, then he can be a mainstay. Personally, I am not quite sold on his potential which is why I'd hold off on buying an Elite jersey for Tannehill. For me, he'd have to get the Dolphins into the playoffs more than one time.
5. Mike Pouncey: If you are a big guy and you love the way this guy plays, Pouncey is a nice pick. He blocks to the second level and makes good calls for the line. Personally, Pouncey is one heck of a center, but he might be at Guard due to concerns with the flexibility of the offensive line. Pouncey, could be a mainstay, and in Miami for some time and join the ranks of Miami Dolphins all-time offensive linemen.
6. Mike Wallace: New free-agent acquisition and has a four year contract that could be extended down the road. Personally, I am not a huge fan of receiver jerseys, but maybe that's because it has been awhile since the Dolphins have had an elite receiver. Wallace has a nice number 11, but I am sure some of you are wishing it stayed Jim Jensen's number.
7. Dion Jordan: Even though he was drafted number one by Miami (3rd overall in the draft), he has a ton of upside and could become a force for the Dolphins. If he shows he can sack Tom Brady 4 times in a game, I am all for buying his jersey.
Of course, if you want to customize a jersey and get your name or Undefeated #72, there is nothing wrong with that. The important thing is, that you make a purchase that you are happy with and aren't feeling buyers' remorse 10 months down the road when Jeff Ireland releases or trades your favorite player and your stuck wearing that jersey to the next Dolphins game.

Saudi Arabia insisted yesterday that it wanted to play a positive role in tackling global warming but this should be done with new technology, not "discriminatory" taxes against oil and petroleum.
Ali al-Naimi, the Saudi oil minister, said his country had signed up to the Kyoto protocol and was as interested as any other in tackling climate change but the world had to accept it would be dependent for decades on fossil fuels. Talk of peak oil and supply problems was the result of "confused" thinking by so-called oil experts and financial speculators who had driven crude to highs of nearly $100 a barrel unnecessarily, he said.
"We are a very strong participant to all conventions and protocols dealing with climate change and protection of the planet ... We share with the world those concerns about what may happen but we are of the belief that technology will help with many of the problems," he said.
Saudi Arabia and the wider Opec cartel had agreed that safeguarding the environment's future was one of the three top priorities, alongside reliability of oil supply and global prosperity, he added. But the way forward was not higher taxes or financial help for alternative energy sources such as coal, he insisted. "We do not like policies that discriminate against petroleum or fossil fuels in general."
The Saudi minister was speaking before an Opec summit in Riyadh this weekend. He said for the next 30 to 40 years at least the world would have to accept that "60% to 70%" of energy needs would be met by coal, gas and oil, and his country was already spending large sums of money to ensure output of oil could be ramped up to meet expanding demand.
"Developing countries are growing at a very, very fast pace. If you look at their [economic] growth of around 7% and 10% they are going to need energy. Fossil fuels will continue to play a very important role in countries, whether they are highly developed or developing," he argued.
Production of biofuels was very small and while it would increase in future, people had to be "realistic" about the size of the part they could play, Naimi said.
He would not speculate on any formal increase in production quotas at next month's Opec meeting. The minister said supply and demand for oil was roughly in balance and other factors sent crude prices soaring to close to $100 a barrel before they dropped yesterday to about $91.

Wheel Chair Ramp to Curved Step
6 Attachment(s)
This is a ramp that is to be temporarily used as a removable assisted wheel chair ramp that I built for an acquaintance. The ramp cannot be used as a self propelled wheel chair ramp because the slope is 7° which is more than the maximum ADA slope of ~ 5° (1:12 slope). In this case the 1:12 slope was not possible because the overall ramp length is limited by the room dimensions.
The biggest challenge was devising the transition to the curved step and plush carpet. The solution was to connect the crescent shaped transition piece to the ramp 7° bevel edge, by using pocket screws and Titebond II glue on the bottom side of the ramp.
The biggest asset was building the 32" wide ramp (ADA says s/b 36") using 1-1/8" Sturd-I-Floor Plywood. This is tremendously strong subfloor plywood that is popular here in California.
The biggest aid was using a Festool TS55 saw to rip down the 4x8 1-1/8",plywood sheets. I also built two shorter ramps for outside. The 1-1/8" thickness is only available in tongue and groove panels, But cutting the sheets with the Festool on the guide rails made it easy cutting. Another plus was cutting the bevels with the TS55.
The ramps were covered with Indoor-Outdoor carpeting from HD

The experience of the recent financial crisis has brought attention to the role of short-selling. Short-selling has, in general, been identified as a factor that contributes to market informational efficiency. At the same time, however, short-selling has been regarded as "dangerous" to the stability of the financial markets and has been banned in many countries. Interestingly, the two seemingly conflicting views start from the same belief that short-selling only affects the way information is incorporated in the prices of the stocks, but not the behavior of the managers of the companies. That is, short-selling amplifies the reaction to existing information, making the market either more effective or overly sensitive, but does not affect managerial actions.
This is not the case! Indeed, it turns out that short-selling does affect the way managers behave by acting as a disciplinary mechanism for them. The disciplinary role of short-selling arises in two ways: First, short-sellers amplify the effect of shareholders walking the "Wall Street Rule" and selling the company shares. This negatively affects the stock price, effectively punishing the managers. In other words, short-selling can be seen as a "vote of confidence" on managerial behavior, which, by itself, provides information to the market about the firm. The fact that shorting demand can be levered or potentially coordinated implies that its impact on stock price could be even more effective to discipline the manager than the Wall Street Walk of any individual shareholder.
For instance, managers may have incentives to manipulate accounting information. Short-selling directly reduces such incentives by punishing firms with dubious accounting, and therefore indirectly improving the quality of information revealed to the market. As an example, in July 2011, short-sellers targeted Sino-Forest, a Toronto-listed Chinese forestry company. The alleged problems of the company ranged from reporting excellent results from one of its early joint ventures that never went into operation, to massively exaggerating the income and assets on its accounting books. The attack was so devastating that the firm filed for bankruptcy in the March 2012. This example illustrates the power of short-selling in punishing firms with suspicious reporting.
Second, given that short-selling improves price efficiency and that more information facilitates the use of more effective incentive-based contracts for the managers, the practice should be generally related to more efficient contracts. Overall, through enhanced oversight, improved price efficiency, and more efficient contracts, short-selling should be associated with better-aligned managerial incentives and better quality of information revealed by the firms.
Indeed, there is now evidence that the presence of short-sellers may affect stock value if news hits the market that doesn't meet expectations. The short-sellers' potential threat disciplines managers by acting as a multiplier of the sensitivity of the stock to bad or unexpected accounting news. As a result, companies in which there is more short-selling pressure manipulate the earnings less and display better accounting and transparency standards.
What about alternative oversight channels, such as the set of contractual arrangements designed to make the managers more responsible to the shareholders, including disclosure rules, high-powered incentives (e.g., equity-based compensation), specific configurations of the board set-up, and formal governance rules (e.g., anti-takeover provisions)? Is short-selling a substitute?
This is not the case. In fact, the presence of short-selling does improve the quality of such more "internal" governance. Indeed, the presence of short-selling makes it more costly for the existing shareholders to experience bad governance, and therefore increases the pressure on them to improve internal governance. In other words, the very fact that short-sellers discipline the managers by punishing them via the market price also punishes the uninformed shareholders of the firm. Therefore, the existing shareholders have an incentive to acquire information on the managers in order to preempt the short-sellers; i.e., selling before them. Alternatively, if such information acquisition is very expensive or they plan in any case to stay invested in the company for the long run, but still suffer from its short-term fluctuations, such shareholders do resort to putting in place a framework that better controls the managers by preventing them from triggering short-selling (i.e., improving internal governance.) The higher the loss that the existing shareholders suffer from short-selling, the more money they will be willing to pay for monitoring/governance.
This implies that threat of short-selling also increases the incentives to have a better quality of internal governance. And indeed, there is now evidence of a direct relation between the presence of short-selling and the quality of internal governance. Higher short-selling potential implies better formal governance, better structure and quality of the board, and more effective equity-based executive compensation.
An interesting related question is this: Who provides shares to short-sellers in order to exercise such a disciplining effect? The answer is institutional investors, and among them, ETFs. In the past decade, from 2001 to 2010, the ETF industry experienced an astonishing 40 percent annual growth rate, compared to the 5 percent annual growth rate of both global mutual funds and equity markets. This suggests that ETFs, while unrelated to information and shareholder activism, play a key role in disciplining managers by providing ammunition to the short-sellers.
Overall, this implies that short-selling—in general considered to be a source of the problem—does, in fact, contribute to its solution. The disciplinary force of the shortselling channel comes from the outside (i.e., the external market) as opposed to the inside (i.e., existing shareholders). This depicts one approach through which the "invisible hand" of the market affects and disciplines firm behavior.

With an announcement imminent, we are now again at decision time on carbon pricing. The policy is being developed not only in a difficult economic environment but also in a highly contentious political one, with the package being negotiated principally with key rural independents and the Greens.
For the major parties, their position on climate policy is a defining issue – if not a matter of survival. While we understand that there are competing priorities, we are concerned that business interests will be traded off.
The partial exemption of fuel announced at the weekend is a case in point. While there was little detail, it appears that personal and individual business users will be exempt while other businesses will be slugged. As well, the proposal to overcompensate some households could come at a cost to trade-exposed businesses and their employees.
The Australian Industry Group has constructively engaged in this debate and ensured that all parties are fully aware of the perspectives of our members and business generally. Most recently we commissioned Ernst & Young to evaluate the government and opposition policies. Its report reinforced two standout issues with the government's approach: the risk of falling short in supporting trade-exposed businesses, and the need to remove existing, wasteful greenhouse gas measures.
On the first of these, the government has indicated it will base its trade-exposed industry measures on those in the former carbon pollution reduction scheme.
It has also indicated the CPRS measures would generally have imposed a net cost on trade-exposed businesses of less than 1 per cent of revenue. While it may not sound a lot, such an erosion of competitiveness would represent a significant impact for many businesses when added to the pressures from the high dollar, constricting interest rates and rising energy costs. Nevertheless, it can serve as a benchmark to assess potential liabilities.
Under the CPRS, a significant range of trade-exposed businesses would not have qualified for permit allocation. This included some upstream food processors, metal forging and casting operations, metal smelters, plastics, chemicals and packaging manufacturers and metal fabricators. At the touted carbon price of $20 a tonne, for many the CPRS implied an erosion of competitiveness of well above 1 per cent of revenue.
This anomaly arose because the CPRS only assisted industries emitting more than 999 tonnes of CO2 per $1 million of revenue. For industries just below this, a carbon price of $20 a tonne would mean a cost hit of nearly $20,000 per $1 million of revenue. This is equivalent to a full 2 per cent of revenue – double the 1 per cent benchmark. For many, this extra cost will throw up hard decisions, including relocation and job losses.
Over time, in line with CPRS proposals, liabilities for trade-exposed businesses would rise with the carbon price and as the rate of assistance for eligible businesses is reduced. This combination would see liabilities grow and, after only a handful of years, more and more businesses would face extra costs well in excess of the 1 per cent level.
The government can prevent this damage by strengthening and extending the availability of measures proposed under the CPRS.
A second key focus for business is how to avoid doubling up on carbon pricing. If Australia maintains the current tangle of policies and also imposes a carbon tax of $20 a tonne, we would find ourselves well ahead of the world and we would cripple what is meant to be an efficient market approach.
A recent Productivity Commission report indicated Australia was already in the mid-range of countries measured by resources spent on reducing emissions, and that we already impose 239 emissions reduction measures, most of which are inefficient and costly.
Ai Group has proposed that the government set out a rigorous and accountable process to clean out the existing measures imposed by the commonwealth, states and territories. We recognise this cannot be done overnight and propose two full years to get it done. Meanwhile, to keep overall costs down, any initial carbon price should be no more than $10 a tonne.
The economic environment over the next few years promises to be challenging and uncertain and one in which the competitive impacts of putting a price on carbon will be amplified. Getting the policy right is clearly harder than on previous occasions. Doing so this time is now even more important for the economy, businesses and their employees.

Protesting Obama's Wars
Yesterday I was at a high school with a young army vet on the We Are Not Your Soldiers Tour. We spoke in 3 classes, telling the students the truth about America's wars. These students were between 4 and 6 years old the day the U.S. attacked Afghanistan. Now they see military recruiters prowling their campuses because the empire needs them to fight, kill, and die for it. I am outraged - Are you?
We here know the story of these 11 years. How Bush launched illegal illegitimate war in Iraq/Afghanistan. How Obama's expanded those wars into 3 more countries.
In Pakistan, 45 drone bombings during the entire Bush Regime. During Obama's first year alone he sent 51 – and he's now up to 284 in Pakistan alone.
Afghan casualties are higher now than at any other time since the invasion. Special Forces, military operations that terrorize those they don't kill, night raids, the ongoing use of torture, and mythology spun by the mass media to make the public think all this is OK.
Obama himself has declared this will continue for at least another ten years. This is happening in our names. Are you for this or against it?

To show solidarity with the people of Waziristan in Pakistan, who have experienced and been victims of US drone strikes, thousands of Pakistanis marched in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan led the march. Thirty-one American peace activists affiliated with CODEPINK participated in the march as well.
The motorcade, which left Islamabad on October 6, took a route that ended in Dera Ismail Khan (DIK) on the first day. There was a rally in DIK at the end of this phase of the march. Then, on October 7, the motorcade continued onward and passed through Tank, a city nearby Waziristan, where tens of thousands of people met the march as it arrived.

Steamboat Springs The trading symbol "SKI" was expected to disappear from the New York Stock Exchange this morning, and American Skiing Company's shares were expected to re-emerge on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the new symbol, "AESK."
Late yesterday, the company issued an abbreviated version of its second quarter earnings report, and predicted a loss of $22 million, almost three times more than it lost in the corresponding quarter that ended in late January 2001.
Shareholders can track the fortune of the stock on the Internet by going to www.otcbb.com and tying the symbol into the site's search engine.
AESK was not reflected in the OTCBB "daily list index" of new stocks at late afternoon Wednesday.
There was anticipation among financial reporting institutions that American skiing company would issue its second quarter earnings report after the end of the trading day on Wednesday. By early evening, the company had indicated that late developments dictated filing for an extension. ASC released a synopsis of its earnings forecast that foresees its total revenue from operations for the fiscal quarter ended Jan. 27, 2002 will be approximately $121.2 million, compared to $156.3 million for its fiscal quarter ended Jan. 28, 2001.
The Company anticipates that its loss from operations for the Company's fiscal quarter ended Jan. 27, 2002, will be approximately $22 million, compared with $7.9 million the same period last year.
American Skiing's stock finished its last day of trading on the New York Exchange at 26 cents, up 2 cents on volume of 67,000 shares.
The company's CEO, B.J. Fair, expressed disappointment last week over the impending de-listing of his company by the New York Exchange. However, he said the change would not affect his company's daily operations or its ongoing efforts to restructure its finances.
Fair's remarks can be taken, by extension, to mean the pending sale of the Steamboat Ski Area for $91.4 million to an investor group led by Tim and Diane Mueller won't be affected.
ASC is pinning much of its hopes to get out from under oppressive debt on the sale of Steamboat, and has committed the proceeds of the sale to de-leveraging.
There is a report out of California today that ASC might sell another of its resorts to take that de-leveraging further.
A columnist for the Sacramento Bee wrote that there is a persistent rumor that Vail Resorts Inc. is in the process of performing due diligence leading up to a possible purchase of Heavenly Ski Resort.
Heavenly and Steamboat were wrapped into one deal when ASC purchased the ski areas from the privately held Japanese firm, Kamori Kanko Ltd., in 1997.

Colors often have different meanings in various cultures. And even in Western societies, the meanings of various colors have changed over the years. But today in the U.S., researchers have generally found the following to be accurate.
Black is the color of authority and power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people appear thinner. It is also stylish and timeless. Black also implies submission. Priests wear black to signify submission to God. Some fashion experts say a woman wearing black implies submission to men. Black outfits can also be overpowering, or make the wearer seem aloof or evil. Villains, such as Dracula, often wear black.
Brides wear white to symbolize innocence and purity. White reflects light and is considered a summer color. White is popular in decorating and in fashion because it is light, neutral, and goes with everything. However, white shows dirt and is therefore more difficult to keep clean than other colors. Doctors and nurses wear white to imply sterility.
The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Since it is an extreme color, red clothing might not help people in negotiations or confrontations. Red cars are popular targets for thieves. In decorating, red is usually used as an accent. Decorators say that red furniture should be perfect since it will attract attention.
The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Sports teams sometimes paint the locker rooms used by opposing teams bright pink so their opponents will lose energy.
The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. It causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and depressing. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.
Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. It is the easiest color on the eye and can improve vision. It is a calming, refreshing color. People waiting to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients. Brides in the Middle Ages wore green to symbolize fertility. Dark green is masculine, conservative, and implies wealth. However, seamstresses often refuse to use green thread on the eve of a fashion show for fear it will bring bad luck.
Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal pads. It also speeds metabolism.
The color of royalty, purple connotes luxury, wealth, and sophistication. It is also feminine and romantic. However, because it is rare in nature, purple can appear artificial.
Solid, reliable brown is the color of earth and is abundant in nature. Light brown implies genuineness while dark brown is similar to wood or leather. Brown can also be sad and wistful. Men are more apt to say brown is one of their favorite colors.
Colors of the Flag
In the U.S. flag, white stands for purity and innocence. Red represents valor and hardiness, while blue signifies justice, perseverance, and vigilance. The stars represent the heavens and all the good that people strive for, while the stripes emulate the sun's rays.
Food for Thought
While blue is one of the most popular colors it is one of the least appetizing. Blue food is rare in nature. Food researchers say that when humans searched for food, they learned to avoid toxic or spoiled objects, which were often blue, black, or purple. When food dyed blue is served to study subjects, they lose appetite.
Green, brown, and red are the most popular food colors. Red is often used in restaurant decorating schemes because it is an appetite stimulant

colors are also representitive of different frequencies
the chakra points each have their own color
Chakra Points & the 13th Chakra
Many of us are familiar with the seven chakra points, the major energy centers of the body that run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. These chakra points are represented by the seven colors in the visible light spectrum and seven notes of the diatonic scale, beginning with the color red and the note C and ending with the color purple and the note B. Fewer of us are aware that there are actually more chakras as well: two more above our head (8 and 9), one below our feet (10), one in the palm of each hand (11 and 12), and the 13th chakra, which is about arm's length from the body, slightly below the level of the heart.
(There are more chakras - the 14th chakra is the gateway to the next dimension, but that is another story).
The Heart chakra is represented by the color green; however, in some contexts it is referred to as having two colors - green and rose, or pink. Until I learned about the 13th chakra, this always confused me. How could pink be in there? How could a chakra have two colors? The answer is that the 13th chakra is outside the body, but the energy of it is experienced in the heart.
The energy of the 13th chakra is that of Unconditional Love. Unlike the seven major centers of the body, this one cannot become blocked. What can become blocked however, is our awareness of it. This center is like a beacon of love and light that is eternally shining on us, delivering to us bliss and well being at every moment of our existence. It is our interconnectedness to All That Is, to our Source.
The 13th chakra has been symbolized in the image of a Rose. Throughout history, myth and religion, this symbol appears to represent the energy of Love, or God, or the Light (which are essentially all one and the same). If the Rose spoke, it would say one thing: "You are Loved."
The truth contained in the awareness of this energy center is what everyone is looking for: it is simply, happiness. Buddha's famous last words were (allegedly), "There is no Way to Peace and Happiness - Peace and Happiness is the Way." These are profound words, and yet they are not the words we are taught to live by. Somehow we have swallowed the belief that happiness lies outside ourselves, that it is something to be pursued, purchased, found in a mall, a restaurant, a relationship, or a pill.
And so we go from store to store, from person to person, or perhaps therapist to therapist, seeking the elusive Bliss that calls to us. We get lost in addictions that whisper lies to us about happiness. From Heroin to Sugar to Online Catalog Shopping, we answer that whisper and fall headlong into the temptation of the short-lived high, only to find ourselves on the desolate beach of the inevitable crash soon after. Lost at the mall.
Our awareness of this Source of Unconditional Love is blocked on a personal, as well as cultural level. This has occurred for a number of reasons, the primary one being the Creation Myth that is known by nearly everyone in our culture whether they choose to subscribe to it or not. Put simply, we are the children of a couple that blew it (it was her fault) and we have been cast out of the Garden, separated from God, to suffer forever in the world of Duality.
This story has, on a subtle level, defined the reality of our culture. Its basic message is that we are all guilty sinners living under a judgmental God. This belief instills in us a powerful message that we are not worthy of Bliss, Happiness, Joy, and Ecstasy. We are worthy of pursuing it, yes - in that shiny SUV, in that Beautiful House, in that Fit Body and all the other images that Madison Avenue holds up to us as Desirable. We are worthy of pursuing it in Food, Alcohol, Shopping, Sex and Busy-ness. But of finding it? Of truly finding it and choosing it and owning it? Of really living it?
Well, living it, that's scary stuff. Because somewhere in this belief system there is this lurking thought that if we let ourselves feel too good, something terrible is going to happen. Therein lies the whole lie: this is where Unconditional Love becomes conditional love - "I can be happy if all of the conditions are right - when I am fit, rich and have the perfect mate," or whatever your personal conditions are. The thought that it is too scary to have all of these things that we think will make us happy because we might lose them all and then become unhappy keeps us in a cycle of perpetual unhappiness - it keeps us Stuck.
The truth is, that while this is a world of suffering, it is merely an illusion and love is behind all of it. All of the seeming "tragedies" that "happen" to us are lessons laid with love before us so that we may know Love, and are all essentially Maya, the mask of God. In truth, we have never really left the Garden - we are still connected. The 13th chakra is, was, and will always be there.
(There is an interesting sideline here about the Goddess Tradition and the Number 13 and how it was stamped out by the Church of Rome and what all that means, but that, too, is another story.)
Many people bog down in the healing process when it comes to truly and fully opening to this energy. Most people are so accustomed to feeling bad that feeling good is outside their comfort zone. We are programmed, especially through Television, to focus on the negative. Whatever one focuses on expands, and so we have expansive depression in our culture, and it is accepted as normal. In fact, we subscribe to the curious notion that depression is a result of being victim to hormones and body chemistry beyond our control, that it is a condition to be fixed with a pill.
In fact, the entire notion that we need to be fixed is incorrect thinking. What we need to do is remove the blocks that stand between our essential nature and Unconditional Love. The first step in removing these blocks is identifying them. Any place where we experience "stuckness" is a place where we hold a false thought or belief about ourselves, a notion that limits us and disconnects us from our Authentic Selves.
Much unhappiness comes from the fact that we are culturally programmed to be that way, because it is no great secret that this inherent dissatisfaction with life is what drives the ever-important Economy. The lie that happiness lies in the accumulation of stuff (especially expensive new stuff) and status keeps our consumer culture functioning. The hard truth is that we are all slaves to a system that seeks to rob us of our joy, our time with loved ones and our freedom, while all the while feeding us propaganda that we are free and rewarding us with shiny possessions for our sacrifices.
A good starting point in identifying the sources of your unhappiness is to recognize that many of your own issues are holographic to the culture at large. You are part of something bigger than yourself, and were most likely educated within a school system that stamped the authenticity right out of you in order to make you easily manageable and able to fit nicely as another cog in the machine of commerce. (Today's children who do not fit nicely are labeled ADHD or something like that and drugged so that they do fit).
This belief system frowns on the concept of "following your bliss" as irresponsible, selfish and foolish, so you have learned well to put aside the things that make you happy to the point where you may not even be sure what makes you happy. The price that you pay for this surrendering to the System is depression, addiction, rage, or apathy. Ultimately it becomes disease.
The process of healing the planet is one of healing ourselves - of taking the time and the energy and the self-worth to re-establish our connection to the energy of the 13th chakra and discover the things that bring us joy. It has been noted that time seems to be speeding up - the rapid exchange of information has allowed the evolutionary process of all sorts of human systems to accelerate at an astounding speed.
Technology is not the only factor that benefits from this process - the individual healing process is also speeding up. Issues that previously may have taken years to get through are now being healed within a matter of months, even weeks. It is as if time has speeded up - or more appropriately, our beliefs have expanded to include a simple truth: we can heal ourselves, and so the process is not altered by false beliefs any longer.
When your belief is geared to physical healing only, healing time will naturally be on a slower vibration (or physical vibration), thereby taking a longer time to heal oneself. As we begin to heal on the emotional and spiritual levels, our vibration and awareness expands and healing time becomes almost instantaneous.
When we come to a place of spiritual healing, we see that all illness arises from places where we are not letting love in. Health or wellness then becomes a choice, becomes our own responsibility. This is where the awareness of the 13th chakra is such a profound tool for healing - in many cases the simple reconnection of our energies to this source of bliss can eliminate all kinds of mental, emotional and physical distress.
As people become healed (unblocked) and in touch with the energy of Unconditional Love, they become liberated to do the job they came here to do. Freed from shoulds, from guilt, from depression, they are rising up to take their place among those who are working to restore balance, to create sustainability, to improve education, and to heal each other and the planet. They are reconnecting with their bliss, claiming their power, and answering their callings, and doing so at an increasingly rapid rate. It is in this way that lightworkers are also riding the powerful wave of change that is sweeping the planet.
A good and simple way to begin to connect to this energy is through the use of color therapy. Pink is a color that many of us, especially men, tend to shun, or at the very least pay little attention to. Using it deliberately, therefore, has a powerful effect on our psyches. You can buy pink flowers, burn pink candles, wear pink underwear. You can visualize the color pink emanating from a location arm's length from the body just below the heart while meditating. It so happens that pink is a very "in" color this year, so it is very easy to find.
Along with visualizing the color, associate it with the emotion of "unbridled bliss;" try to awaken that concept in your heart and your mind. A good metaphor for this is the image of a cup that is brimming, gently spilling over the top. Truly feeling this emotion doesn't come easily to most of us, but with practice it becomes much more so.
It is important to note here that this isn't about being blissed out all the time. Life happens: pets die, neighbors do unneighborly things, the government does questionable things, and so we will feel and have every right to feel sad, or angry, or confused or any other emotion that people tend to label as unspiritual. The difference is that we are not afraid of these emotions - the undercurrent is one of trust that all things that rise up fall away and that ups and downs are part of life and that the ultimate ground of all of this perceived reality is Love. The energy of the 13th chakra acts as a rudder that keeps us on course and on keel regardless of what winds are blowing.

Singleton arrested for drugs, attack involving garden shears
A warrant was issued on Tuesday for the arrest of Elias Singleton, 34, who allegedly was involved in aggravated battery Sunday night, when he entered a residence on 300 South Pennsylvania and assaulted a man with garden shears. Singleton has been charged with attempted second-degree murder, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to the affidavit of criminal complaint, the initial call reported a shooting. When officers arrived, they discovered that the victim had already been taken to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center. A detective from the Roswell Police Department [auth] spoke with the victim, who said a man known as "Dirty" produced a pair of hedge clippers and "tried to cut his (the victim's) head off." When the Technical Services Unit processed the scene, the technician found a pair garden shears covered in blood.
"Dirty" was later identified as Elias Singleton by RPD detectives. Officials located a green backpack on the Pennsylvania Street property which contained identification belonging to Singleton.
After speaking with officials, the 47-year-old victim was flown to Lubbock for treatment of severe cuts to his neck. Police searched for Singleton on Monday and issued a release to the media asking for information from anyone who knew something about the incident.
Around 9 p.m., Monday, Singleton attacked a second individual in the 300 block of South Birch Avenue with a knife. Both the victim and Singleton were injured during the second incident. The police reported that the victim was stabbed multiple times.
Singleton was flown to Lubbock for treatment of his wounds, although his injuries were not nearly as severe as first suspected and Singleton was due to be discharged.
According to Lubbock Police Department Public Information Officer Sgt. Jason Lewis, when hospital staff learned that Singleton had a warrant for his arrest on charges of attempted murder, they notified LPD who went to the hospital to take Singleton into custody. "He attempted to escape," Lewis said.
Singleton was subsequently detained by LPD and taken to Lubbock County Jail. "We're waiting for the Roswell Police Department to come get him," Lewis explained.
Magistrate Court approved a $100,000 surety bond on Singleton, for the first set of charges. Further charges are pending.

Once we reached Jomsom we hit roads again and intended to take a bus to Pokhara. Although after 3 hours we had to stop as the road ahead had been taken out by a landslide. It didnt cause too much trouble as after we climbed round the landslide they had another bus waiting for us.
The landslide slowed the progress of the bus quite considerable so we could not make it as far as Jomsom instead having to stay at Ghasa.
After a night in Ghasa we took a 3 hour bus to Beni and then a 2 hour bus to the lake side city of Pokhara
