Super Bowl events kick off tonight with a bang [video]
The 2014 Meadowlands Super Bowl seemed like a long way away back in May 2010, when the National Football League made the unprecedented choice of the cold-weather town East Rutherford and open-air venue MetLife Stadium for its championship game.
But after years of behind-the-scenes planning — and months of intense preparation — Super Bowl week has finally arrived. And with it, the NFL expects 150,000 or more football fans to arrive from the Denver and Seattle regions as well as from all over the country — about twice as many as will actually be on hand at the stadium Sunday.
Interactive map: Super Bowl XLVIII events in North Jersey, NYC
The official calendar of events kicks off tonight with a Macy's-sponsored fireworks show at Liberty State Park in Jersey City. That's followed by Tuesday's Media Day, when several thousand media members will descend on Newark's Prudential Center.
By Wednesday, the number of official and unofficial events ramps up, peaking on Saturday afternoon and evening with events throughout North Jersey and New York City.
Full Coverage: Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium
Then the attention shifts completely on Sunday night to MetLife Stadium for the game between the two conference champions, the AFC's Denver Broncos and the NFC's Seattle Seahawks. Kickoff is set for 6:25 p.m.
Who's getting into the Big Game spirit with family-friendly or nightclub events in North Jersey this week? East Rutherford, of course, as well as Secaucus, Carlstadt, Rutherford, Moonachie, Ridgewood, Hackensack, Teaneck, Paterson, Clifton, Montclair, Weehawken, Jersey City and Newark, among others.
But for VIP, celebrity-laden parties — well, the Big Apple has almost all of those. The website, supersundayhq.com, which keeps track of such parties, lists more than 70 events, and all but three are in New York City.
To be sure, it's not just local festivals and VIP cocktail parties on the list of attractions. Other sports are seeking to exploit the arrival of deep-pocketed visitors and diehard sports fans, from outdoor hockey games at Yankee Stadium to the Ultimate Fighting Championships in Newark on Saturday night.
Here's a look at some of the highlights of what's going on for Super Week:
Official events
The NFL has one main event for each of the next six days:
TODAY: The Jersey City Fireworks show will feature musical performances by Daughtry, the Goo Goo Dolls and other artists. But unless you snagged free tickets in the first few hours after the event was announced less than two weeks ago, your best place to see the show will be on Fox Sports 1 from 8 to 9 p.m. The fireworks should be visible from all over, of course.
TUESDAY: Tickets for Media Day at the Prudential Center went on sale for $32 in mid-December and recently sold out, but tickets on StubHub were available in the $40 range late last week. This is the event where fans sit in the stands to watch media members — a few of them actual journalists asking serious questions — interview the players.
WEDNESDAY-SATURDAY: The attention shifts to a 14-block stretch of Broadway in midtown Manhattan as the NFL offers a cold-weather variation of its annual NFL Experience that usually is held at an indoor convention center in the host city. The 60-foot-high, 180-foot-tall toboggan ride is likely to be the center of attention (tickets are $5, which goes to charity, on ticketmaster.com), but the autograph shows, nightly concerts and the Vince Lombardi Trophy also will attract plenty of fans.
SUNDAY: Thousands of those with Super Bowl tickets will also have scored a VIP pass to NFL-sponsored events at the Izod Center and the old and new Meadowlands Racetrack grandstands.
Unofficial events
The NFL wound up not sanctioning any small-town events in North Jersey, despite the hopes of any number of local officials. So most of these events will only obliquely refer to the Big Game, which does not raise the hackles of the league's legal team.
Ridgewood got off to a fast start on Sunday, and Super Bowl-themed events will go on each day through Saturday including three nights of family-friendly football movies at the village library and a Fire and Ice Festival on Saturday at Graydon Park.
Former Jets quarterback Ray Lucas of Harrison hosts a "Dinner of Champions" at the Brownstone in Paterson on Wednesday night, while the Upper Montclair Country Club in Clifton is the site of "Football, Females and Philanthropy," an American Cancer Society fundraiser on Thursday night.
Thursday also is the first day of the three-day Secaucus Winter Blast in Buchmiller Park, perhaps the most ambitious of the North Jersey Big Game events. There are hockey games each day at the park's indoor rink, as well as concerts, food trucks and a beer garden.
On Friday morning, Rebuilding Together's annual Super Bowl restoration project comes to Moonachie, as volunteers help to build a new playground.
On Saturday at 1 p.m., the annual Celebrity Flag Football Challenge comes to the Teaneck Armory's Soccer Coliseum, where hip-hop artist Nelly and former NFL quarterback Doug Flutie will be the coaches. Also that afternoon, Rutherford has its Winter Festival at Borough Hall, with live music, ice skating and a snow-sculpting contest.
On Saturday night, Montclair is the site of the Big Game Winter Festival Club Crawl, which includes performances at music venues all over town. That same night, $200 per person is the tab to attend the Super Saturday Pre-Game Party at the Stony Hill Inn in Hackensack.
On Super Bowl Sunday, East Rutherford is hosting a Meadowlands Tailgate Party from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Railroad Avenue Park, with live music from The Nerds and other groups, rides, and a snowball throw among the attractions.

Game theory and consent
A man asks a woman out on a date. She's interested in a long-term relationship i.e. a boyfriend. She doesn't want to waste her time or money on someone interested in casual sex i.e. a player . She doesn't know what her proposer wants. Asking would be silly – a man who's only interested in sex would lie, enjoy a romp in the hay, and not call the next day. She decides to "play hard to get" – pretend to be more reluctant to go on a date than she is. She believes that a would-be boyfriend would persist in asking her out, while a player wouldn't.
Now let's look at things from the man's perspective. He doesn't know if the woman is genuinely uninterested or merely playing hard to get. If he wants casual sex, it doesn't matter – the cost of persisting is too high to bother. If, on the other hand, he wants a long-term relationship and thinks that there is a reasonable chance that she is "just playing", it's in his interest to persist. The expected gain from her eventually saying yes may (and here we assume does) exceed the cost of pursuing her. Thus, a player will back off, while a would be boyfriend will not*.
Thus, men and women both end up having their beliefs confirmed. Women who want relationships play hard to get because they know that would-be boyfriends will persist and players won't. Thus some fraction of women who say "no" don't mean it. Would-be boyfriends know this and persist. Players don't persist because sex isn't worth the trouble. Thus all the individuals in this little game are playing their best response to each others strategies. This is what game theorist call an equilibrium.
The problem is that some women are genuinely not interested in the men asking them out. For them, being repeatedly approached isn't a positive sign; it's harassment. It imposes serious psychological costs. It is for such women that sexual harassment laws have been introduced.
However, men's persistence isn't the only thing causing their plight. It's ultimately caused by the equilibrium that all the players find themselves in. An important part of that equilibrium is the strategy other women use to filter out players from potential boyfriends. If they stopped playing hard to get, men would have no incentive to persist, and our victim would have been spared. This is not to let men off the hook. After all, if all men backed off as soon women said no, it would be impossible to tell players and non-players apart from how quickly they backed off. Thus, women would no longer have an incentive use "playing hard to get" as a filter. Both men and women are to blame for this bad equilibrium.
(This is not "blaming the victim". The victims are the women who are uninterested and so feel harassed; the accused are the women who are interested but play hard to get.)
Yet, whenever the question of consent arises, activists demand changes in male behavior, while ignoring the female behavior that supports it. Worse, they present "No Means No" as a factual statement: all the women who are saying "No" to you are genuinely uninterested in you. This is false. One famous study examined whether women ever say no to sex when they mean yes. 39% of their sample had done so at least once, and more than two thirds had said no when they meant maybe.
Filtering boyfriends from players is just one reason for women to pretend more reluctance that they feel. I've given it the spotlight because it's the easiest one to model. Other reasons include: the desire to filter confident, assertive men from "weak" men; the desire to avoid being labelled a "slut" by others; the desire to prove to oneself that one is not a "slut"; the belief that one will not be "respected" if one "gives it up too easily"; the thrill of the being chased; the desire to enact a rape fantasy; the desire to gain power in a relationship; the desire to extract more resources (attention, dinners etc) before terminating a casual relationship etc. And while I've presented the refusal as happening at the point of the date, this logic can apply to any stage of the relationship.
If the consent movement ignores this facet of mating behavior, it will fail. Why? Suppose that men in our model were presented with the proposition that women never play hard to get. If all men believed it and changed their behavior instantly, women would be forced to change theirs as well. The equilibrium would collapse. However, suppose instead that some men believe it and others remained skeptical. Women still have an incentive to play hard to get. By doing so, they would snag the skeptics who are interested in relationships as boyfriends, while avoiding the skeptics and believers who are interested in casual sex. A month after the news that "No Means No" came out, the believers and skeptics gather at the pub and compare notes. All the skeptics who want girlfriends now have them, while the believers don't. The believers conclude that their new strategy is bust, and go back to persisting in the face of resistance. This is true of any movement which tries to sell "No Means No" as a fact. When skeptics do better than believers, beliefs collapse.
This is unfortunate. I want the "No Means No" movement to succeed. Heck, I want the even more ambitious "Yes Means Yes" movement – which calls for a verbal affirmation before sexual acts – to succeed as a social norm**. These movements started in the West, but I think they will eventually find their way to India. What changes do activists have to make to succeed?
Firstly, they must recognize that female behavior is also responsible for this unhappy state of affairs. They must work to raise awareness about it, and to discourage women from engaging in it. They must recognize that actions that are in the interests of individual women (filtering suitors) are not in the interests of women as a whole (avoiding harassment.)
Secondly, they must present "No Means No" as an ethical norm, rather than a factual statement. The idea should be: a moral man should treat "no" as meaning "no" even if the person is possibly faking it. A moral woman doesn't say "no" unless she means "no". As time goes on, and we gradually shift from one equilibrium to another, "no means no" will become a factual statement. In the interim, our best bet is impose the costs for immoral behavior (guilt, shame, censure, ostracism etc) on those who break the rules. Few men will take seriously a movement that claims that "[affirmative] Consent is Sexy" when it's so far from what experience teaches them and women themselves say. Best stick to Consent is Right.
In closing, there are three additional problems with the current male-centered approach:
Firstly, it denies women agency, to invoke a term that is much in vogue. More correctly, it denies that women have agency. It treats them as playing an entirely passive role in the mating process. It ignores the fact that they are savvy players in a complex game. It contributes to the narrative where women are helpless victims at the mercy of men.
Secondly, it treats the mating process as though it were something simple, made complex because of something called "culture". Somehow, everyone wants an honest, open, mutually respectful relationship, but "culture" thwarts their attempts to enter one. The reality is different. Most people want the same things from a relationship – sex, companionship, children etc. However, relationships are also the site of much conflict, over sex, money, freedom etc. He wants commitment; she wants a fling. He to splurge; she wants to put the money in a retirement account. He wants to spend the night out with the boys; she wants him home by 10. It is these inescapable conflicts of interest that complicates matters, and lead to dishonesty, not "culture". In this case, there is a conflict of interest (woman wants commitment; man might want casual sex) that leads to dishonesty (playing hard to get). The man's persistence isn't the result of a "culture that devalues consent."
Finally, it is unfair to men. It forces them to bear the entire costs of shifting from one equilibrium to another. It holds them accountable for a terrible state of affairs while letting equally culpable women off the hook.
UPDATE: To clarify: "Persisting" here is a metaphor or stand-in for all behavior that involves ignoring a woman's stated preferences. "Playing hard to get" is a metaphor or stand-in for all behavior that involves pretending more reluctance than one feels. The story at the beginning was a metaphor for all situations in which women and men have an incentive to lie and persist respectively. All models are parables of some kind.
Disclaimer: over the course of the post, I've used "man" to mean the initiator of a sexual act, and "woman" to mean the non-initiator. I've done so for the sake of clarity, and because it it's a reasonable assumption, given modern gender roles. Nonetheless, it doesn't always hold: women do initiate, men do respond, these roles aren't clearly delineated in homosexual relationships, and men too can be the victims of harassment and sexual assault, sometimes at the hands of women.
* To make this example more concrete, let's assume the following: the cost of persisting is 45 to both men. The payoff to the man seeking sex is 80. The payoff to the man seeking a relationship is 100. 50% of all women are interested in a relationship, while 50% of women are not. The payoff to not persisting is zero.
Thus the payoff to persisting for the man who's interested in sex = (.5*80) – 45 = -5, which is less that zero, the payoff to not persisting. The payoff to persisting for the man who's interested in a relationship = (.5*100) – 45 = +5, which is greater than zero, the payoff to persisting. Thus men interested in only sex wouldn't persist, and others would.
** But not as a legal one.
10 Responses
There can be multiple equilibria. You are ignoring distributions.
I think your analysis is interesting, but you are conflating between two different versions of "No means No".
The weak version of "No means No" implies that any sexual contact should not be initiated without explicit consent.
There is a second "strong" version of "No means No" perpetuated by feminists (Radical ?) / Social Justice Warriors. In this version any contact, verbal etc. are considered as an abuse.
Finally there is an even stronger (insane) version, where even expressing a (non-romantic) interest, under certain circumstances is considered as abuse. Case in point Elevatorgate: where a woman was asked for a coffee inside an elevator at some atheist conference.
Very few people disagree with weak version, its the strong/insane version where we actually test the limits of Freedom of speech / expression. At what point does the person loses rights to express his opinion/desire.
Most social justice movements nowadays are trapped in puritan mentality, where participants are assumed to posses no agency or capability to make rational distinction. Its a worrying trend.
Finally as a male in mid twenties, the stronger versions of "No means No" are useless in practice, and persistence is often a better strategy.
Your analysis fails to control for what I'd like to call 'class bias' – or situations where women don't feel they have agency, or do not, in fact, have agency. We now take agency as a given – the reality is that it isn't, not for most of India.
I suggest that before you conduct a further analysis, you consider empirical data on rape – in particular, data on profiles of victims and criminals. A professor at NLU Delhi is working on building such a data set, and the National Crime Records Bureau has some of it in raw form.
While your paradigm is of limited use among the fractional section of women with the sort of agency you describe, it is for the most part, across India, irrelevant. While I agree, of course, that there are occasions when women say no and mean yes, before we use those instances to frame laws or policies or even moral codes, we must try and understand the prevalence of this. And one possible way is to look at economic indicators of independence – can the woman travel alone? Can she live alone? Does she have independent income? Is she in a position of financial dependence?
Failing to account for this will possibly save some men who went ahead with sexual acts (rape) in situations where no actually meant yes. But it will act against thousands, millions of women who are saying no because it means no. Laws and policies atleast, are framed to protect these disadvantaged people against the advantaged. In a perfect world, the law would provide you with a test to differentiate between situations where no means no, and no means yes. In reality, this almost impossible. The (admittedly imperfect) situation is categorically accept, atleast legally, that no means no, and can never mean yes. And personally, if that protects the majority of women, I'm okay with that.
I do completely agree with you, though, that we need to evolve moral rules of conduct that make it clear that no means no – and that make this clear for all persons, male or female. I do not, however, think that this particular model is at all convincing.
how are you assigning pay-offs? Why is a relationship more valuable to a relationship seeker, than sex is to a player?
What are the costs of pursuing? If we assume the costs of pursuing are negligible, then the theory fails..
According to this we would have to assume that sexual harassment is caused necessarily (generally?) by a man who is interested in a relationship, on a woman who is not. Is that not against what we must think is impulsively right, which is the opposite.
Also, quite often, the payoff to not persisting are negative (assuming again that pay-offs have been assigned in the way that we think the player might perceive them, which doesnt seem to be the case, but should necessarily be)
[…] More here. Interesting throughout. My opinion of affirmative consent can be found here. […]

It is the de3ire of these working in behalf of Highway 71 that it be made a first class highway with a permanent survey that will establish proper grades, curves and width, and that bridges be built at several points where high water often stops travel along this road. Out of town visiters present at the meeting were: Hugh Gill, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Parks, Mrs. G. O. Grant, C. E. Webber, O. N. Goddard, Ed Hicks, O. C. Seymour and Joe Grimm all of Tahlequah. THE SPECIAL EDITION We wish to thank our many friends for their kind words of commendation on our Special Edition on Tuesday morning of this week that was issued in connection with the merger of the two Stilwell banks. Even though we could get no definite information on the matter until 10 o'clock Monday night, after the meeting of the stockholders of the two institutions, we believed our readers would appreciate knowing the facts as early as possible, so it was a pleasure for our force to spend the balance of the night to get out the EXTRA. Just another instance of getting you the news first and rendering every service possible to our readers. MITCHELLS HAVE WRECK WARD ELECTED TO HIGH PLAGE IN EDUCATION Succeeds Tulsa County Man as Member of Board of Directors OUR NEW BANK (An Editorial) Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Mitchell formerly of Stilwell but who now live in Muskogee, narrowly escaped serious in jury in a car wreck on Tuesday of last week. While driving on a Muskogee street their car was forced against the curb by a two-ton truck which cut the corner. Mitchell's car suffered a split fender, bent frame, bent front axle, broken bearing damages and other damages and Mrs. Mitchell received bruises about the face. MRS. VIRGINIA DUFF Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Leonard Stewart at the Christian church here Monday, Nov. 11, for Mrs. Virginia Duff, 67 years old, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Worley after a lingering illness of several months. She was a resident of Cherokee coun ty until the past two years, most of which had been spent here at the homes of relatives. She is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Bettie Sanders of Wauhillau, Mrs. Bell Worley of Stilwell and Mrs. Lin-nie Ownes of Bidding Springs, and by three sisters, Mrs. Ollie Hestand of Wauhillau, Mrs. Martha Hyatt of Spearman, Texas, and Mrs. Ophelia Langley of Stilwell. Prof. J. G. Wrd, superintendent of Stilwell schools, was signally honored at a recent district meeting of the Oklahoma Educational Association held at Tulsa, when he was elected aa a member of the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma Educational Association He was elected for a term of three years to fill the place left vacant by the expired term of A. G. Bowls, formerly county superintendent of Tulsa county. Eight members make up this board of directors who have in charge the management of the state Educational association with approximately 20,000 members among the teachers of the state. The board elects a president and secretary and superintendents the publication of the teachers magazine. The 840,000.00 annual revenue which the association collects is disbursed under the direction of this board. It is indeed an honor for a Stilwell man to be elected to this position and it comes' to Mr. Ward as a reward of years of faithful service to the schodls of Oklahoma. --- GEO. W. HILL Funeral services were held Saturday Nov. 9 at the New Hope cemetery for Geo. W. Hill, 81 years old, who died Nov. 8 at the home of .his son. W. S. Hill, at Marietta. Funeral services were conducted by Rev] Chas. H. Cole and arrangements were in charge of the Roberts Undertaking Parlor. He was a member of the Methodist church and for 50 years had been a resident of this community. He is survived by seven sons, Benjamin of Pomona, Calif., Frank of Po-tcau, Dan of Stilwell, George of Big Cabin, Robert of Bernice, Austin of Tulsa, and two daughters, Mrs. Esther Smith of Echota and Mrs. Lillie Akin? of Stilwell. All the children except Mrs Smith were present at the funeral. The wheels of progress drive relentlessly on and we must either fall in line or get out of the way foi( those who do business the modern way. There is a general movement over the country of consolidation of banks and other kinds of business enterprises that can better serve the community and themselves by consolidation than by competition. Our banks here have followed the general movement and announced Tuesday morning their consolidation into the Security State Bank. Just a single glance at the list of officers, directors and stockholders is sufficient to convince any citizen of Adair county that there is band, ed together in this new institution the trongest group of men that have ever befoe joined hands in a business undertaking in the county. Not alone for their financial standing do we say this but for their business ability and the general progressive spirit they have always shown in matters that contribute to the growth of the town and county. No comment is necessary on the past records of Mr. Hughes and Mr. Carlson, president and cashier, respectively, Bince the' public hai^ been dealing saisfactorily for years with both of them. Among the directors and stockholders, you see a new name or two but the best of those from the two former institutions have been retained and we believe they will work together harmonously for the upbuilding of all worthy enterprises in Stilwell and, Adair County. The comments from the general public are very favorable and officers of the bank say that already they have received Beveral new ac-accounts that have heretofore not been kept in either bank.. This is an expression of confidence in this new half million dollar concern that will spread as the people come to know better its vast resouces and the outstanding character of the officers, directors and sockholders of the new Security State Bank. NOW YOU TELL ONE! "Records may come and records may go," but some one is golag to have to grow some mighty big tuB-nips if G. E. Casey's record of 7 pounds and 2 ounces doesn't go on forever. -\ The Democrat had just gone into the mails last Friday morning leS-ing about a 5 pound four ounce turnip grown by Jess Brewer when Wfe. Casey, who lives near Bunch, drove into town with a collection of fine specimens he had selected from the 300 bushels he has grown from one acre. The two largest of these are now on display in our window. The largest weighs 7 pounds and 2 ounces the smaller tips the scales at 6 1-4 pounds.

(By the Observer) A new turn in politics for the county comes in the appointment of the Democratic- War Horse, Geo. W. Smith, as secretary of the county election board to take the place of H. T. Williams, who recently resigned. As a man who always votes and talks a straight Democratic ticket, Smith cannot be beaten. He is square honest and a lover of fair play and it is expected that he will do much to strengthen the Democratic organization in the county. Other members of the board are Ab Cabe of Westville and J. A. Taylor of Christie. Joe Bradford, patrolman on Highway 17 betwen Baron and Westyille has thrown his hat in the ring as a Democratic candidate for sheriff and Ora Gordon says he will be the rdce again for court cuerk.

Magical Paintings That Will Make You Look Twice
Surreal Collages by Eugenia Loli | Collage artist Eugenia Loli originated in the technology sector, but she decided to leave that rather impersonal world behind in order to build new, exciting worlds via her art. Her collages often include a teasing, visual narrative, as if they're a still frame of a surreal movie. Eugenia Loli grew up in Greece moving over Germany and UK to California where she lives these days.

I don't know about you, but my memory is not as good as it used to be. I know that as we age, our memory does become worse, but as a society, I put forth that our memories in general are not as good as they used to be. That is because we don't need to memorize anymore. With Smart phones hooked up to calendars hooked up to email accounts hooked up to Google…you get the idea. What do we need to remember? If we meet someone new, we put their name in our contact list. If we try to remember the name of the band that sang "Walk This Way", we google it. If we need to know an accounting formula, we look it up.
As an accountant, it disturbs me that I can't remember total revenues or net income from last year without looking. Of course, I can't remember every number, but why can't I remember the important ones? The numbers change every year, and I just don't care enough to memorize all of them. I do, however, care that my accounting students know the accounting terms and principles, debits and credits, and the accounting cycle. These I have memorized.
If we want to truly remember something, we have to care about it, and we have to process it deeply. We need to pay attention. We just don't do enough of that anymore. The following video from TED gives ideas to help remember. As Joshua Foer says in the video, "Our lives are the sum of our memories". Do we want short lives or long lives?
Pay attention and start remembering. (By the way, Aerosmith sang "Walk This Way")

Happily, I sat next to an American woman and her daughter who have lived in Dakar for three years as the dad works with the Peace Corps. They filled me in on places to go, things to see and what to generally avoid. They also gave me some francs CFA since I had no way of getting any for my taxi ride to the airport and their phone number "just in case." No movies were shown and the screen was in Spanish instead of French...glitch somewhere in the system, apparently. Maybe something like the "all bags are on board" announcement.
Informational note (I figure these could be of interest to some of you): The currency in a large part of at least West Africa is francs CFA, a remnant of a certain colonial occupation. They are impossible to get anywhere but in Africa and the exchange rate is generally b/t 450-500 francs CFA to the dollar.
Aside from the three nearly perpetually crying babies which I didn't really mind 'cause they were cute and I would have cried if it wouldn't have been a bit shocking to my cabin mates, the fact that they ran out of the choice of food I (and many others) wanted halfway through cabin and the worst turbulence I've ever experienced, the flight went well. I arrived in Dakar at closer to 6 than the 4:39 announced arrival time feeling ready to go.
Almost 90 degree heat at that hour of the morning might slow one down, but the curiosity about my bags propelled me to the conveyor belt where I was met with a blaring lack of two familiar bags. But, since I expected this, I calmly shuffled through the steamy, tile-floored open room into an even steamier cement-floored room filled with piles of unclaimed bags of various descriptions. When I announced that my bags had been lost the friendly man at the door to the office offered, "Let's say they were "delayed"." If you want to. Happily, they were in fact merely delayed as they'd been sent via Paris. They're due tonight after 10 pm. Let's hope they get here, given the nature of the work I will be doing Monday. We'll get to that, too.
First of all, at 6 in the morning, Dakar is a happening place! Several nightclubs were overflowing with revelers all along my drive to the hotel and a French chain bakery's parking lot was full of the after party crowd grabbing snacks before turning in for a very late, virtually nonexistent night.
Where I'm staying is gorgeous. Dakar is beautiful too, with sandy beaches and rocky shores. Traditional Senegalese long boats can always be seen floating along, full of more than 5 passengers. Looking over the city, you see unfinished cement structures among tans, oranges and golds of mud and stucco. The same nearly-shanty, corrugated metal-roofed shop stalls line the narrow, unpaved side streets like they did in Benin and do throughout Africa, and hundreds of old yellow taxis speed left and ride, using traffic laws more as theoretical guidelines than actually requirements for safety. Lazy or heat-soaked guards lean back in white plastic lawn chairs outside the compound walls of nicer gated houses. In the countryside and some in the city, you see nothing but mango trees, lean cows and goats and the occaisional (my very favorite) baobab tree. Of course, I don't want to clean up the image too much; you also see extremely dirty water pooling in the large ruts of the majority unpaved streets, ferile cats and dogs wandering for the rare treasure of scraps and garbage piling and blowing in every possible area where it can collect or escape.
It all seems familiar and extremely foreign at the same time.
This morning after wrestling myself from my rock-like sleep, C�line, a friend and colleague who graduated a year after me from MIIS, came to my door laden with bottled water, fruit and Kinder chocolates. Suffice it to say, we are both very happy to be working together! After a big hug, she came in and I recounted my missing bags, she filled me in on the personalities of various colleagues and the difficulty of the work ahead and we agreed to meet everyone for lunch by the pool.
All of my colleagues are really great. One of the best things about working as an interpreter is sharing stories with clients and colleagues because people have been everywhere in the world, interpreted the most random subjects or otherwise done things you just never think of doing. Among us, people speak Spanish, Thai, Haitian Creole...I know that's only three but I already lose track! I bet between all of the colleagues here we've nearly been in every country of the world...maybe some have done this on their own!
I guess that's it for my long uneventful first day. The great thing about being in a new place doing a new job is that everything is interesting and fun. It may be hard to adjust, you may have jetleg (which I don't really) and whatever else, but it's an adventure and it's great discovering a new place. The Senegalese pride themselves on hospitality and as far as I can see, they do so with good reason.

Credit Suisse has downgraded its rating on mine developer PanAust to "neutral" from "outperform" to reflect the recent weakness in the stock price, and the broker has forecast that stock prices are set to fall.
Board approval was recently given for the $US150 million development of the Ban Houayxai gold-silver deposit in Laos, located 25km west of PanAust's existing Phu Kham copper deposit. Credit Suisse forecasts an attractive earnings per share profile for PanAust, with organic growth offsetting lower future commodity prices. The potential for reserve growth and more information on the Inca de Oro acquisition in Chile, are among the reasons the broker has retained its 12 month price target of 65¢, reflecting 10 times CY10 earnings forecast or 6.5¢ a share (US5.8¢ a share).

MSC Lirica: MSC Lirica Cruise Review by Jim Seeley
Overall Member Rating
MSC Lirica
Destination: Panama Canal & Central America
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
It was also a truly sophisticated, international experience. I enjoyed getting to know passengers from Europe and learning words in other languages.
The entertainment was first rate. Cruise Director Francesco prepared a spectacular show every evening. The last three nights got standing ovations each night...from the traditionally more reserved early dining crowd! Asst. Cruise Director Paulo hosted a presentation each afternoon featuring opera videos on a big screen with printed summaries and More commentaries.
MSC also hosts theme cruises, such as big band cruises with Les Brown Jr. (and his band of renown) and Fun & Fitness cruises for exercise enthusiasts. You'd have to check with your travel agent for the dates of specific theme cruises.
This ship is classic...I loved hanging out at the elegantly tasteful Lord Nelson pub. The Blue Club Disco is a quiet refuge during the day and comes alive at night. The two pools and various Jacuzzis are wonderful to "bliss out."
Dining was excellent. I'd only recommend that some soft, ambient music be playing during dinner, that the frequent "Happy Birthday/Happy Anniversary" musical theme be eliminated and that the lights be lowered slightly.
Social Hostess Linda was a delight, as were all the staff members. I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews on this site...I guess the service has been greatly improved since the January inaugural. Less

Report predicts LivingSocial, as a brand, will die in 2014
LivingSocial Inc. — as a brand, at least — "does not stand a chance" and is going to vanish in 2014, or so predicts 24/7 Wall St. in a doomsday top-10 ranking that you're going to click on whether you want to or not.
Based on the body of previous reporting on the District-based daily deals giant, the online financial pub places LivingSocial among the "Ten Brands That Will Disappear in 2014," alongside Volvo, J.C. Penney, Nook, "Martha Stewart Living" and "Road & Track" magazines, Olympus, the WNBA, Mitsubishi and Leap Wireless.
The report doesn't necessarily say "go bankrupt" or "die." It simply indicates that LivingSocial won't live on as an independent brand past next year. It might be bought out, for example.
Nothing particularly new in the rationalization here — we've all been reporting the incremental news of LivingSocial's struggles, which are very real. Though, no one knows exactly what's going to happen.
Even if 24/7 Wall St. thinks it does.

VGA Testing Methodology
The Microsoft DirectX-11 graphics API is native to the Microsoft Windows 7 Operating System, and will be the primary O/S for our test platform. DX11 is also available as a Microsoft Update for the Windows Vista O/S, so our test results apply to both versions of the Operating System. The majority of benchmark tests used in this article are comparative to DX11 performance, however some high-demand DX10 tests have also been included.
According to the Steam Hardware Survey published for the month ending May 2010, the most popular gaming resolution is 1280x1024 (17-19" standard LCD monitors). Our benchmark performance tests typically concentrate the more demanding 1680x1050 (22-24" widescreen LCD) and 2.30MP 1920x1200 (24-28" widescreen LCD monitors) resolutions. However, as this is a mid-range video card, we've dropped the 1920x1200 benchmarks and added 1280x1024 to better capture the intended use of this card.
In each benchmark test there is one 'cache run' that is conducted, followed by five recorded test runs. Results are collected at each setting with the highest and lowest results discarded. The remaining three results are averaged, and displayed in the performance charts on the following pages.
A combination of synthetic and video game benchmark tests have been used in this article to illustrate relative performance among graphics solutions. Our benchmark frame rate results are not intended to represent real-world graphics performance, as this experience would change based on supporting hardware and the perception of individuals playing the video game.
DX11 Cost to Performance Ratio
For this article Benchmark Reviews has included cost per FPS for graphics performance results. Only the least expensive product price is calculated, and does not consider tax, freight, promotional offers, or rebates into the cost. All prices reflect product series components, and do not represent any specific manufacturer, model, or brand. These retail prices for each product were obtained from NewEgg.com on 30-September-2010:

Is Imtiaz Ali's 'Highway' India's first commercial film on the 'Stockholm Syndrome'?
More than Alia, the film is important for Randeep Hooda who is not getting his due despite some good performances.
New Delhi: Alia Bhatt had an impressive debut in 'Student of the Year'. Karan Johar's film did well at the box-office as per the expectations, but somehow the lead actors of the film failed to leave an impression on critics. Now, she is all set to return with Imtiaz Ali's 'Highway'. The film features Randeep Hooda alongside her.
A major part of the film was shot in Kashmir, and the stills from the shooting were carried by several film portals and dailies. Imtiaz is among those directors who have constantly evolved with each film. From 'Socha Na Tha' to 'Rockstar', he has continuously experimented with his characters. In 'Jab we Met' and 'Love Aaj Kal', he presented the road or the way as a character. Most of his female characters are very fond of travelling and enjoy nature. Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Nargis Fakhri realise the difference between their wish and desire during some kind of travel.
It doesn't seem a coincidence that Imtiaz has once again chosen the road as the premise of his film. In 'Highway', Randeep Hooda, apparently a goon who belongs to the Gurjar community, kidnaps Alia Bhatt. However, this kidnapping turns out to be a joyride for Alia Bhatt who had been living in a protected environment till then.
The trailer shows Alia Bhatt doing all sorts of adventures things after being kidnapped. The ending of the trailer suggests she falls in love with Randeep Hooda. In medical terms, this is known as 'Stockholm Syndrome' where the oppressed feels a strong sympathy for the oppressor. It is also known as 'Capture-Bonding'. This term has become very popular in recent times as several such incidents have been reported in various newspapers. Now, it's Alia Bhatt's turn to play the role on-screen.
AR Rahman's music in the background stands out and it appears he is ready to rule the charts once again.
More than Alia Bhatt, the film is important for Randeep Hooda who is not getting his due despite coming up with good performances. He is playing a rough, raw kidnapper in 'Highway' and his collaboration with Imtiaz Ali may give him a chance to showcase his latent potential.
The trailer fetches attention for its breathtaking cinematography and haunting background score. The promoters of 'Highway' need to capitalise on it in order to receive a good opening at the ticket window.

Auto Auctions in Fort Wayne
Are you tired of visiting used car lots and haggling with salesmen, trying futilely to find a vehicle that suits your style and your price preferences? Fort Wayne auto auctions may be your answer.
An auto auction runs like any other auction would (see About Auctions for more info)—complete with auctioneer, sellers, bidders, and a variety of items up for sale (automobiles in this case). An automobile auction carries with it an atmosphere of fun, competition, energy and excitement!
Auto auctions value selling vehicles fast and efficiently. For this reason, many Fort Wayne IN automobile auction sites host regular auto auctions with buying opportunities on a monthly, weekly, or even daily basis. Therefore, if you do not find what you want the first-time around, you can always return to the auto auction at a later date for a different selection of vehicles. Many auto auctions now allow you to bid via the Internet so you can purchase that car you have been eying without getting off of the couch!
If you're interested in attending or participating in an auto auction in person, here are a few things you will want to know before you go.
Types of Fort Wayne Auto Auctions
Before you actually go to an auto auction, it's important to know what type of auction you are attending. Not all of them are open to the public and each type of auto auction has a different nuance and feel:
- Online auto auctions – automotive auctions via the Internet are similar to other types of motor auctions where sellers list vehicles and as much or as little as they want to say about the listed property. All bidding takes place from an online auto auction website (like eBay Motors), and all buyers are contractually obligated to follow through on their purchases if they are the highest bidder. Also, buyers and sellers can usually arrange shipment or delivery details through the auto auction website itself.
- Public auto auctions – a public motor auction in Fort Wayne IN is simply an event open to the general public where anyone can attend and bid. Sometimes people can even bring things with them to auction!
- Wholesale auto auctions – these auctions are generally limited to car dealers who are looking to purchase cars brought to the Fort Wayne auto auction by other car dealers. Many of the vehicles up for bid at a wholesale motor auction were previously used as rentals or leases. If you go to a wholesale automobile auction, it is not unusual to see rare exotic cars that collectors try to sell, trade-ins that a dealer does not sell at a particular dealership, popular vehicles that dealers hope to sell above MSRP at the auto auction, and older, used cars that major dealers will not try to sell on their lots.
- Salvage auto auctions – these auto auctions, also known as insurance auto auctions, sell vehicles that are damaged or in bad conditions and therefore are not open to the general public. Only experienced professionals with a comprehensive knowledge of car repairs should bid at a salvage automobile auction in Indiana.
- Government automobile auctions – these GSA (General Services Administration) auto auctions offer government-owned cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans to the general public. These automobiles up for bid were likely seized by the government or are retired government fleet vehicles.
Fort Wayne Auto Auction Tips
Going to an auto auction can be a fun and thrifty way for you to purchase your next car. However, don't go to a motor auction unprepared! Before you put in your first bid you should understand a few tricks of the trade. Here are a few tips:
- Be sure to do your homework beforehand! If possible, decide on which vehicles you may want to bid by looking at the Auto Auction Catalog (either at the automobile auction site or online). Also, determine your maximum bid and consult the blue book value for a car in that listed condition to make sure you do not overbid or underbid.
- Familiarize yourself with the rules, terms and conditions of the auto auction location you are using. For example, you will want to know whether the auto auction site charges a buyer's premium, a fee that could make a difference in how much you're willing to bid. Also, be sure to check what forms of payment the Fort Wayne auto auction site accepts. Not every auction accepts credit cards!
- Ignorance isn't always bliss – especially when it comes to auctions! To make sure you aren't getting a lemon, try to get the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from the seller and run a thorough Vehicle History Report to make sure nothing suspicious shows up. If something looks off, then you may want to focus on other cars at the auto auction.
- Show up early to the Fort Wayne IN motor auction site and give yourself plenty of time to inspect the vehicle(s) with an eagle eye. Be on the lookout for anything that just does not look quite right to you, like damaged rims, flood damage, a rebuilt title, uneven tire wear (a sign of bad alignment) or excessive damage. If you aren't sure what to look for, then bring a friend who knows cars.
- Don't get caught up in a bidding war and end up paying more than you intended. Stick to your guns: decide prior to the automobile auction that getting a good deal trumps the thrill of the win.
From Boston to Fort Wayne to sunny San Diego, auto auction sites abound! So what are you waiting for? Your next car may be just one bid away!

Letter to the Editor: Let tradition continue
I stopped at Walmart near Blairsville on the way home from work on Monday, June 2, and encountered some of the most well-mannered shoppers I've had the pleasure of coming across in a long time.
At least three or four young men who crossed the path of my cart said, "Excuse me, sir."
Thank you to these men and especially to their parents who raised such fine gentlemen. May the tradition of good manners continue; it does not go unnoticed.

Hagel orders US aircraft carrier to Persian Gulf [video]
Mobile users click here for video.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered an aircraft carrier — the Norfolk, Virginia-based USS George H.W. Bush — to move from the northern Arabian Sea to the Persian Gulf as President Barack Obama considers possible military options for Iraq.
Hagel's press secretary, Rear Adm. John Kirby, says the order will give the president added flexibility if military action is required to protect American lives, citizens and interests in Iraq.
Accompanying the carrier will be the guided-missile cruiser USS Philippine Sea and the guided-missile destroyer USS Truxtun. The ships are expected to complete their move into the Gulf later Saturday.
The ships carry Tomahawk missiles, which could reach Iraq. The Bush is carrying fighter jets that could also easily get to Iraq, where a fast-moving Islamic insurgency is gaining territory.

Posted by Richard Fichera on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on September 24, 2012
This week, the New York Times ran a series of articles about data center power use (and abuse) "Power, Pollution and the Internet" (http://nyti.ms/Ojd9BV) and "Data Barns in a Farm Town, Gobbling Power and Flexing Muscle" (http://nyti.ms/RQDb0a). Among the claims made in the articles were that data centers were "only using 6 to 12 % of the energy powering their servers to deliver useful computation. Like a lot of media broadsides, the reality is more complex than the dramatic claims made in these articles. Technically they are correct in claiming that of the electricity going to a server, only a very small fraction is used to perform useful work, but this dramatic claim is not a fair representation of the overall efficiency picture. The Times analysis fails to take into consideration that not all of the power in the data center goes to servers, so the claim of 6% efficiency of the servers is not representative of the real operational efficiency of the complete data center.
On the other hand, while I think the Times chooses drama over even-keeled reporting, the actual picture for even a well-run data center is not as good as its proponents would claim. Consider:

My research team at Forrester helps tech vendor strategists anticipate and navigate in rapidly changing market environments. We can't take a siloed view on specific product and service categories, but rather broaden our perspective in order to trace cross-market dynamics around key issues such as sustainability, globalization, collaboration, mobility, and cloud. This puts tech vendors in better positions to act on emerging demand signals, competitive scenarios, and opportunities to select best-fit partner, channel, or acquisition targets.
The market for dedicated solutions and services that help companies manage their energy, emissions, and overall sustainability strategy is still nascent. The evolution of sustainability at larger software and IT service vendors started with their internal efforts, which is an important factor framing their portfolio and go-to-market strategies.
As a result, there are still a significant number of vendors that are converting their internal capabilities to analyze, define, and implement sustainability into customer-facing software and/or service portfolios. These portfolios of services go well beyond green IT, increasingly focused to serve clients wrestling with hot topics such as enterprise carbon and energy management (ECEM), green supply chain, and sustainability performance management.
My colleague, Daniel Krauss, and I have recently completed a comprehensive round of interviews and analysis with many different players offering sustainability consulting services, including software, IT and business services, hardware, and even industrial companies (see Figure 1).

Famous Men of the Middle Ages HTML version
William Tell and Arnold von Winkelried
Far up among the Alps, in the very heart of Switzerland, are three districts, or cantons, as
they are called, which are known as the Forest Cantons and are famous in the world's
history. About two thousand years ago the Romans found in these cantons a hardy race of
mountaineers, who, although poor, were free men and proud of their independence. They
became the friends and allies of Rome, and the cantons were for many years a part of the
Roman Empire, but the people always had the right to elect their own officers and to
govern themselves.
When Goths and the Vandals and the Huns from beyond the Rhine and the Danube
overran the Roman Empire, these three cantons were not disturbed. The land was too
poor and rocky to attract men who were fighting for possession of the rich plains and
valleys of Europe, and so it happened that for century after century, the mountaineers of
these cantons lived on in their old, simple way, undisturbed by the rest of the world.
In a canton in the valley of the Rhine lived the Hapsburg family, whose leaders in time
grew to be very rich and powerful. They became dukes of Austria and some of them were
elected emperors. One of the Hapsburgs, Albert I, claimed that the land of the Forest
Cantons belonged to him. He sent a governor and a band of soldiers to those cantons and
made the people submit to his authority.
In one of the Forest Cantons at this time lived a famous mountaineer named William Tell.
He was tall and strong. In all Switzerland no man had a foot so sure as his on the
mountains or a hand so skilled in the use of a bow. He was determined to resist the
Secret meetings of the mountaineers were held and all took a solemn oath to stand by
each other and fight for their freedom; but they had no arms and were simple shepherds
who had never been trained as soldiers. The first thing to be done was to get arms without
attracting the attention of the Austrians. It took nearly a year to secure spears, swords,
and battle-axes and distribute them among the mountains. Finally this was done, and
everything was ready. All were waiting for a signal to rise.
The story tells us that just at this time Gessler, the Austrian governor, who was a cruel
tyrant, hung a cap on a high pole in the market-place in the village of Altorf, and forced
everyone who passed to bow before it. Tell accompanied by his little son, happened to
pass through the marketplace. He refused to bow before the cap and was arrested. Gessler
offered to release him if he would shoot an apple from the head of his son. The governor
hated Tell and made this offer hoping that the mountaineer's hand would tremble and that
he would kill his own son. It is said that Tell shot the apple from his son's head but that
Gessler still refused to release him. That night as Tell was being carried across the lake to
prison a storm came up. In the midst of the storm he sprang from the boat to an over-
hanging rock and made his escape. It is said that he killed the tyrant. Some people do not

Women and the Rwanda Genocide HTML version
EXPC-6005 Gender and Peace Studies
Presented to: Professor Jacobo Schifter
Date: 16th December, 2012.
Women and the Rwandan Genocide
By: Roshinder Singh
The Rwandan genocide is considered to be unique due to the intensity, speed and the high
number of deaths in a 100 day period. The Rwandan genocide is considered to be especially unique due
to the involvement of women partaking, planning, and conducting genocidal acts. Is this unusual or
have such atrocious and violence acts been overlooked in the past? When a woman commits murder or
an act of deviance she is no longer considered to be a woman but instead a 'monster'. She becomes de-
sexed. However, when a man rapes or murders or burns down houses, his sex remains the same. Why is
that? It is because women are placed in a box which is labeled "caretaker", "nurturing" and even, "non-
violent." But are women non-violent? According to the Rwandan genocide, quite the contrary. Although
very few women, in comparison to the actual amount of perpetrators, have been persecuted, there are
many more who have escaped or have been taken off trial d ue to this idea that women do not behave in
this manner and are victims, not murderers. So, because of society's social construction of the female
gender, justice has not been met for thousands of families. The murderers and the genocidal actors have
been spared because they are sympathized with or the facts brought forth as evidence are simply not
believable as they are women and have a record of being "feminine" before the genocide occurred.
Although a woman is spared because of her sex and the pure disbe lief that a woman can act in such a
way, would she still complain about having to be forced to breed, to manage a household, to keep her
thoughts and ideas to herself and to not be a member of Parliament? This is the one instance where the
social construction of women works in favor for them. The perception is that women are non- violent,

hi i have a e36 328 coupe on a n reg it currently has a 8 button trip computer in, can i stick any type in and have most of the functions working ??? any info would be much apreciated
You can fit in any trip computer...it requires a bit of retrofitting and installing some new sensors but it can all be done There are a few guides here on how to do it
cheers mate spot o will get one and look more into it
I have done exactly this in a 1994 E36 325i.
To go from 8 button with check control you only have to move 2 wires to make it power up and give you more or less what you had before, but somewhat prettier.
However, anything that requires fuel consumption or distance / speed info will not work.
When you turn the power on the exterior temp will flash as -37.5 degrees for a few seconds and go out.
You will not have the gong.
You can set the limit but it will not read the road speed.
Code will not work without an extra wire.
Range will read "---"
Comsumption might read 99.9 unless you reset it
You get the idea.
Two pics of scrambled MID
The black connector is one of two types, the one that came with the OBC had a little catch to release to let the actual block with the wires slide out.
And here it is out.........
The one on the car had a bit that slid down before it coule slide out..........
(FYI recently stripped a Vectra B and found one of these black connectors on a wire zip tied to the bulk head above the glovebox. Useless info unless you are missing the white one for the OBC - no warranty implied given - though I suppose you could always see if a black E36 one does)
And done
Now you just need to decide if you need:
To change indicator stalk for one to scroll through OBC - seems expensive for the benefit.
Temp sensor
About three or is it two wires up into the instrument cluster connectors........
I validated the wiring positions in the black plug from my 8 button against the cutoffs coming with the 18 button (I have lost the notes) but suffice it to say that everything lined up with the OBC having more.
Once the black plug is out of its cover push on the side of the silver connector for the pins to remove and pull gently on the wire. They will slide out.
I then repositioned two as shown HERE (repositioned not T'd into) to obtain the result above.
Currently my white connector only has two wires in. The ones removed from 17 and 18 in the black connector. I carefully removed the rest and will use them as I add the other gadgets.
No warranty of any kind implied or given. This is what I have done but I am not recommending it in any way and accept no resposibility ofr anyone attempting to follow what I have done.

Will Wilkinson has a must-read post on libertarianism, why he's more of a liberal than a libertarian, and how he'd rather argue more with liberals than libertarians. He also condemns Ron Paul about as well as anyone could in a paragraph of his usual rhetorical genius:
Somebody's going to ask "Isn't Ron Paul making a difference?" So I'm going to say, "Yes." None of this is to say that right-fusionism of the Ron Paul variety isn't now having an influence, or that none of it is good. I'm glad to see Paul spreading a few profoundly important ideas about foreign policy. But that doesn't mean Paul's decades of bilking paranoid bigots with bullshit prophesies of hyperinflationary race war was really a stroke of strategic genius after all. Or maybe it means it was. But that doesn't make it right. I don't think Paul would be where he is today without all those years of vile fear-mongering. And I don't think anyone ought to get away with climbing up that evil ladder, kicking it away, then pretending he was born a thousand feet off the ground in the pure mountain air right there next to heaven. He knew what he was doing, chose to do it, and none of it can be justified by a little TV-time for salutary anti-imperialist and free-market ideas. I'd rather not be affiliated with a "movement" that includes him in even a conflicted way.
I am not quite persuaded by Will's rejection of the term libertarian to describe himself. Or rather I am not persuaded by his rejection of the term to describe ourselves, since I share a lot of the beliefs he says differentiate him from libertarians. Will appeals to the prevailing public understanding of "libertarianism", but I think that this is more about the relative importance of a high level of economic freedom to both freedom overall and general welfare than about which rights and liberties are "off the table".
Maybe I am biased because I don't want to surrender libertarianism to those I see as the radicals among us. But then again maybe Will is biased because it's easier to persuade liberals when you call yourself a liberal.
