t's what you have to do now days. Our team is too cluttered with mid-level guys. We need a star to add to Davis and Holiday. In my mind, it should be a dominant front court player. That would allow Davis to expand his game out and reach his full potential.
I know you won't agree, but I think Gordon and Evans are a push. Evans would have better trade value due to his contract. Plus he's played with Martin and they have a good relationship, that might help the trade go through. Gordon would be a nice 4th scorer. At this point, I know he isn't going anywhere, so might as well let him play it out.
Though not typically respected for his defense, Tyreke Evans showed excellent lateral mobility on defense this season, despite other more team-focused measures that may indicate otherwise. Given all of the Pelicans' injuries this season, using individual numbers may paint a better picture with a one-season sample size. Per SynergySports, Evans was an above average defender in both isolation and P&R ball-handler situations, as well as one of the best in the league in handoff plays. Things get a bit more dicey when he is matched up against shooters, but when Evans is one-on-one with the task of preventing his man from getting to the rim, he often succeeds.
We would still have the MLE and some cap space. So if we resign Morrow, Roberts and Smith. Plus pick up Granger or Marion. We'd end up with..
Granger or Marion/Budinger
That's a top 4 seed in the West next year, with two all-stars that are both top 10 players in the league.
Yes, it's a star driven league. If you have a chance to combine a top 5-10 player with Davis, then you need to do it..
The D would work out, especially with Love's rebounding.
Yes offensively they'd be unstoppable but what about the defense?
- Landry Fields - $6.2 million expiring ($8.5 million due to him, was a poison pill) that played in just 30 games this season. Fields showed a lot of potential as a rookie and just fell off the map after that. Could be a good reclamation project.
If Anderson can come back healthy, I'd rather spend money/assets elsewhere than Love. They have similar games. Love is a little tougher, but Anderson is a lot cheaper.
I don't see them trading for Gordon
Like I said, durability and being a rental are legit concerns,
I think it's fine to have on the list of possibilities, but Boozer isn't really a potential swap for Gordon, he's competition in the Dump Market. Chicago seems to have 2 primary targets for the offseason, Melo or bringing over Nikola Mirotic from Europe. Both moves require getting Boozer off the books. They have the amnesty option, and they have multiple 1sts this year to help them dump Boozer.
Option No. 2 is to bring over Mirotic. You might be able to do that by staying over the cap, which would allow them to use a full mid-level exception for the Croatian big man. Then you'd try to trade Boozer's expiring deal to bring back a wing scorer to play the 3. (Not an easy option.) You can also amnesty Boozer, create as much cap space as possible, sign Mirotic and use the remaining room to get that aforementioned wing scorer. Strangely enough, Deng could prove to be the best alternative in that scenario. For me, the ideal outcome is to dangle a ring chase in front of Anthony, give him an all allowable contract options, and hope he'll accept being massively underpaid.
plus get rid of EG somehow

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Like K-Fed, one in seven people report having been dumped via text message or email. Another 4% simply cut off all communication. What a flock of cowards. Back in my day, we had a little something called integrity. Whatever happened to the old-fashioned backbone required for dumping someone via voicemail?
You know the drill: call the loser's office - reception, not his direct line - to make sure he's at work. Then, fire up that fake, unplaceable accent normally reserved for dodging the collection agencies and student loan folks ("wha? who? no De-ba Deek-son he-ah. You got-ta baad num-ba. No De-ba he-ah. Call some more, me curse you whole fam-ly."). With him safely away for nine or so hours, bravely enumerate his failings and let his machine know exactly how dumped he is. Next, block his number or screen like a son of a gun whilst hiding at an out of town girlfriend's for a few days til you have enough contact attempts for a restraining order. But text and email? Ah, for the good old days of American forthrightness.

FlashGot is a free Mozilla/Firefox extension meant to handle single and massive ("all" and "selection") downloads with several external Download Managers.
Reviewing 1.5 (Dec 3, 2012)
This program revolutionized the way in which I get porn.
Reviewing 220.127.116.11 (Apr 13, 2010)
Well...it does what it's supposed to do. It allows you to use external download managers with Firefox. Been using it from the beginning and haven't had any issues at all.
The recent release allows you to choose download managers on the fly if you have more than one installed, too.
If you have any external downloaders and use FireFox, download it - its a MUST HAVE
Reviewing 188.8.131.52 (Feb 16, 2009)
If you use FlashGot to download FLV videos as does SueAmma below, you may want to avoid v184.108.40.206. A Bug has crept into this version that causes the same video to appear twice when you hover over the download icon. If you click to download you get two copies of the same video. To work around this problem you must right click on the icon and select one of the two identical videos. I personally solved this problem by reinstalling v220.127.116.11 retrieved from a backup of my Firefox profile.
This anomoly has been reported and hopefully will be fixed in a future version. In the meantime I will keep a copy of v188.8.131.52 to replace any update that still has the problem.
"fixing double video file issue in next build... very soon"
Reviewing 184.108.40.206 (Jan 30, 2009)
FlashGot is great for downloading FLV files from YouTube and similar sites. When a video is available on the web page, a button appears on the right side of the status bar. One click and the video is downloaded.
Reviewing 1.1.5 (Dec 1, 2008)
Open Source for the win, again.

Are Women People HTML version
("I am opposed to woman suffrage, but I am not opposed to
woman."—Anti-suffrage speech of Mr. Webb of North Carolina.)
O women, have you heard the news
Of charity and grace?
Look, look, how joy and gratitude
Are beaming in my face!
For Mr. Webb is not opposed
To woman in her place!
O Mr. Webb, how kind you are
To let us live at all,
To let us light the kitchen range
And tidy up the hall;
To tolerate the female sex
In spite of Adam's fall.
O girls, suppose that Mr. Webb
Should alter his decree!
Suppose he were opposed to us—
Opposed to you and me.
What would be left for us to do—
Except to cease to be?
Lines to Mr. Bowdle of Ohio
("The women of this smart capital are beautiful. Their beauty is
disturbing to business; their feet are beautiful, their ankles are
beautiful, but here I must pause."—Mr. Bowdle's anti-suffrage
speech in Congress, January 12, 1915.)
You, who despise the so-called fairer sex,
Be brave. There really isn't any reason
You should not, if you wish, oppose and vex
And scold us in, and even out of season;

PARIS, Sept.19. -- Major Pierre Weiss, holder of the world's record non-stop flight, who sent a message yesterday to Captain Fonck telling him "hop off or swim," said today when interviewed that he deplored the publicity given to what was intended as merely a private message to an old war comrade, whom, with the rest of the French Aviation Corps, he admired sincerely.

If you're cycling through Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts and you get a flat tire, or decide that your saddle is too high, or that you just have to put on that new set of pedals you bought right now, then you're in luck. The city has installed bike repair stations as part of a trial that could spread to the rest of the city if people have a little respect and don't smash up these pilot stations.
The stations, which were inspired by stations on MIT's campus, have a pump with pressure gauge and an assortment of tools — Allen wrenches, screwdrivers, a 15mm wrench — hanging from cables. The idea is that you can make quick repairs without having to carry your own tools.
The station has one other smart piece of design. Two bars up top are positioned to let you hang your bike by its seat. You slide the seat-post between the two and the bike is suspended before you, which is way easier than turning it upside down and balancing it on saddle and handlebars.
It's a fantastic idea, and a great way for the city to show that it's serious about promoting cycling. Let's hope they are well used, and don't get vandalized. I'd wish for something similar over here in Barcelona, Spain, but it would likely be stolen before the first cyclist even managed to use it.

"The flowers were out of this world! The owners and staff heard every detail that I mentioned and found a way to incorporate them all! The bouquets were my absolute favorite - dark purple cala lilies for me and a gorgeous mix of cala lilies, dahlias, coxcomb, and more for my bridesmaids! Will recommend them to everyone I know."

Ok before you guys kill me, hear me out.
We have Boley, Kiwi, Rivers, Herzlich, Blackburn, JWill, Jones, Paysinger, Sintim, and Muasau.
I am wondering if Herzlich wins the starting job, is it worth keeping Blackburn if we would have to cut someone that may have more long term upside than Chase. I mean we know what Chase is. A solid player who gives 110% all the time, with an endless motor, but let's face it we've seen his best and if that isn't good enough to win the starting job, then should we really cut a more athletic youngster who could end up giving us a lot more down the road. Obviously Sintim is probably gone and I don't know much about Muasau. But I would hate to lose Paysinger or Jones so we can have chase here playing only on specials.
This is not a knock on Chase. If TC and Fewell believe in him as the starter then I am behind him 100%. Just seeing an over abundance of young linebackers with not enough spots to go around.

The theory of social forestry intervention: the state of the art in Asia
- Cite this article as:
- Dove, M.R. Agroforest Syst (1995) 30: 315. doi:10.1007/BF00705217
- Citations
- 178 Downloads
This study focuses on the major issues in current thinking about the theory of social forestry development in Asia. The first of these issues concerns the cause of deforestation. The governmental view is that deforestation is a gradual process driven by community-based factors, whereas the community view is that deforestation is a stochastic process driven by external, political-economic factors. The two explanations have different implications for where the 'problematique' of social forestry is located — in the forest community or in the forest agency — and how, therefore, it is to be addressed.
A second issue concerns how and when social forestry interventions are carried out. The concept of a 'window-of-opportunity' for intervention reflects a widespread belief that it is importantwhen interventions are carried out — with both the costs and benefits of intervention increasing as it is timed earlier and decreasing as it is timed later. A key determinant of the best time for intervention is the receptivity of the forest agency and the broader society. The purpose of intervention is to strengthen receptivity and other factors conducive to change, to hasten extant processes of change, and to minimize the possibility of a reversal of direction.
A third issue is whether the focus of social forestry intervention should be on state lands or on community lands. While there are logical reasons for either foci, the continuing vacillation between them suggests the lack of a theoretical perspective with sufficient breadth to encompass them both. Whatever the focus, attitudinal change within the forest agency is usually mandated in social forestry interventions, but it is rarely accompanied with intervention in the underlying power relations, reflecting a continuing difficulty in viewing the forest agency sociologically. This lack of sociological perspective also is seen in the tendency to focus on adding resources perceived to be in short supply, instead of removing institutional obstacles —including those within the forest agency — to the proper use of existing resources.
The final issue involves the unintended consequences of social forestry intervention. These include redirection of the intervention as a result of bureaucratic resistance or negative feedback, and secondary consequences stemming from the dynamic responses by forests, forest communities, and forest agencies to changes in their relationship.

Henrietta: The Story of Love, Tennis, and Taking Chances HTML version
©2002 by Jon Kyne
Cover art by James Wiggs
To Professor Raymond Denigri
From the back cover:
Meet Charles Killpatrick... knight in worn Chemise Lacoste, mystic, lover, tennis shark,
philosopher, gambler, renaissance man for whom an iced Dos XX, a good book, a close
match, a fast horse and a scrupulous bookie comprise the good life.
Broker in SoCal with a real estate market in full bloom, life for Charles is as smooth as
the purr of his BMW, Blackie. A man whose life, like his tennis service, crowds the line,
Charles is in the habit of taking what life serves. Deep in debt to a bookie whose husband
is a debt collector with a pro-lineman physique, Charles is sanguine. Accused of cheating
at tennis by his world famous sparring partner, he is placid. Bribed to act as shill in high-
stakes racetrack grift, he is serene. But all that was before he met Henrietta.
Now all he can think of is her...the look of her, the feel of her, the sound of her mangled
English...and for the first time in a very long time...the future. But his Frenchfry,
Henrietta, is not all Charles has to worry about.
There is her special forces lover, Roadrunner, shadowing their every rendezvous. And
now, just as Charles has begun to contemplate tomorrow he must entertain the possibility
that, if Roadrunner has his way, he won't have one. True as only fiction can be, Henrietta
is more than picaresque farce, more than diary of failed love, more than tour of pro
tennis, more than morality play....
It's a window on a man's soul. And, for all his myriad faults, Charles Killpatrick is a man
worth knowing. Bounder, romantic, ne'er do well, visionary, man of honor...when
Charles joins battle with fate the score is love all, and the results unpredictable as the
course of a 100 mph Penn spun off the racket of a pro.
(A poem)
(To Theophile Gautier: 1811-1872)
Things pass,
Save those made well;
The bust outlasts The citadel.
Often the plowman's share,
Turning an ancient sod,
Will bare

Berlusconi was stripped of his seat in the Italian parliament as a consequence of a definitive conviction for tax fraud, handed down by the Supreme Court
After two decades in politics, Silvio Berlusconi's career may finally be over
The vote halts the 77-year-old's legislative run for at least six years, but does not mark the end of his political career
An Italian Jewish leader said the comparison 'astonished' him. A left-wing leader says it is 'horrifying' that Berlusconi trivialized the Holocaust
Francesca Pascale, 28, rejected claims by Bulgarian actress Michelle Bonev, that her relationship with the 77-year-old billionaire was a 'sham'
Francesca Pascale also criticized the amount of alimony — $4.2-million a month — Berlusconi has been ordered to pay his former wife in their divorce settlement
'I would like him to do humble and silent manual labour, beginning with cleaning the bathroom. Like he did when he was 15 ,' one priest said
It was a major setback for Berlusconi, who over the weekend had demanded his five Cabinet ministers quit the government and bring it down
'He completely rejected me,' she told Vanity Fair. 'But mine is an unending courtship. It's still going on today'
Silvio Berlusconi has said he invited escort girls to his parties 'to boost his morale'

Lindane Shampoo
Contact the closest Poison Control Center in the event of suspected overdosage with Lindane Shampoo. If accidental ingestion occurs, prompt gastric lavage should be instituted. However, since oils enhance absorption, saline cathartics for intestinal evacuation should be given rather than oil laxatives. If central nervous system manifestations occur, they may be antagonized by the administration of pentobarbital, phenobarbital, or diazepam.
Lindane Shampoo is contraindicated for premature infants because their skin may be more permeable than that of full term infants and their liver enzymes may not be sufficiently developed to metabolize Lindane. Lindane Shampoo is also contraindicated for patients with crusted (Norwegian) scabies and other skin conditions (e.g., atopic dermatitis, psoriasis) that may increase systemic absorption of the drug. Lindane Shampoo is contraindicated for patients with known uncontrolled seizure disorders and for individuals with a known sensitivity to the product or any of its components.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Hide lines
Took a minibus up to Marqab-- today I'm avoiding taxis for the long haul trips. A minibus costs about 50 cents, so it's the much better deal. A guy on the bus helped me out, getting me off the bus at the right stop (the bus runs a rout and stops whenever someone wants to get out, or hop on). He talked another bus to taking me up the hill to the castle which was nice too. I'm finding out that having a "lost tourist" look and asking for help is a great way to be shown around, as people love to help here in Syria.
The castle was made of volcanic rock, giving it a black color unlike other castles in the area
Headed back down and asked for directions to a minibus back to Tartous, and found the station after some help. Then took a minibus to Safita. Sat next to an older guy who was helpful, and told the driver where to drop me off ("somewhere suitable" for the castle). He had good English, and invited me to dinner with his family at his house, but I had to decline as I had a bus booked for 4 p.m.
Safita's castle was called Chastel Blanc by the crusaders, due to its white color. Only one tower remains, and inside is a Greek Orthodox church because the chapel was never converted to a mosque. The castle was a Templar castle, rather than a Hospitaller castle. The doors to the church were locked and a note in Arabic was on the door, and a tour group was waiting outside looking bored. Since I had a bus, I took the minibus back rather than waiting for the door to be opened
Then the fun started. The driver of the minibus thought it was awesome that an American was taking his bus. He had me sit up near the front where he could ask me questions, and play American rap music and dance to it (as he was driving). He kept joking that he hated America, and wanted to know if I drink beer, have a wife and family (a common question over here), and what US women are like.
At the bus station I sat with him and other drivers and had mate, or tea, served South American style with hot water poured over tea leaves, and drinking through a spoon with little holes in the bottom. Syrians put one or two scoops of sugar in each glass, so it was very sweet. It was fun.
Caught a bus to Hama, which is past the mountains inland in Syria. Checked into my hotel, grabbed dinner, and booked a tour of a castle and some ruins for tomorrow in a shared taxi with others from the hostel.
One thing I noticed on the coast was the number of churches there are. They have steeples and bells too, not incognito like in Istanbul
I also enjoyed the people on the coast. Women mostly did not wear headscarves and Syrian guys even wore shorts at times; none of that in Aleppo (or even in Hama where I am now). The evidence that Syria is a crossroads of empires is also evident, as there are people who look Arab, Greek, have blue, or green eyes, red hair etc. What unites them is the Arabic language, much like the Greek language united a wide range of people in antiquity after Alexander the Great's conquest.

Feb 26: Obama 2010 budget proposes sale of carbon emission allowances to cap greenhouse gases, pay for renewable energy investments, and provide tax relief to offset higher utility prices May 22: Target date for House committee action on energy/climate bill
President Bush (41) suffered a great deal of criticism for the 1990 Budget Summit Agreement because it included tax increases as well as spending cuts, but the economic facts are that this politically courageous bipartisan agreement laid the foundation for subsequent deficit reduction laws that moved the Treasury from the huge deficits of the early 1990s to the booming economy and surpluses of the late 1990s.
In 1993, during the first year of the Clinton Administration, another milestone budget bill was enacted—cutting spending and raising revenues by more than $500 billion—and further extending the pay-as-you-go rules of the Budget Enforcement Act. However, unlike the 1990 Agreement, the 1993 budget bill was enacted by Democrats without a single Republican vote.Under normal circumstances, Republicans could have blocked the 1993 deficit reduction bill by "filibustering," which prevents legislation from coming to a vote by engaging in continuous debate. (The Senate has a time honored tradition of unlimited debate and votes in the Senate cannot occur until all debate has concluded.) The procedure to bring debate to an end—known as "cloture"—requires 60 votes. Since Democrats in 1993 had only 56 votes, the Clinton deficit reduction bill would have been doomed under normal proceedings.
However, the Congressional Budget Act provides for a special filibuster-proof procedure. The majority party can elect to assemble budget-related provisions into a "Budget Reconciliation bill" which is limited to 20 hours of Senate debate and is therefore immune from filibuster. (In addition, amendments to Reconciliation bills must be strictly "germane," which further expedites consideration.)
As a consequence of using Budget Reconciliation procedures, Senate Democratic leaders in 1993 were able to preclude a filibuster and President Clinton's major deficit reduction bill became law in August of 1993.
President Obama and congressional Democratic leaders face a critical budget decision in the next few weeks. The President's bold 2010 budget calls for major new public investments in health care, energy, and education. The budget blueprint would pay for these initiatives by raising taxes on upper income earners, closing tax loopholes, reforming Medicare and Medicaid, and raising revenues from auctioning carbon emission allowances.
Initial reactions to the Obama budget plan suggest a major partisan battle. House Budget Committee Republicans characterized the budget as an "attempt to spend, tax and borrow our way into prosperity." Senate Republican Budget Chairman Judd Gregg (R-NH) dismissed the plan, saying it's "a missed opportunity for American taxpayers—it raises taxes...implements massive new spending, and fails to make any tough choices to control the deficit and long-term fiscal crisis posed by the huge entitlement programs."
With partisan battle lines already being drawn on his FY 2010 budget plan, the budget reconciliation process may be the likely path forward for the Obama budget.
However, Republicans are already pushing back on the possible use of the reconciliation process. In a March 4 letter to the President, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and several key Senate Republicans said "any successful health care reform proposal must include both Republicans and Democrats....(and) using the budget reconciliation process to curtail Senate debate and limit amendments would make it difficult to gain broad bipartisan support...."
In the coming days, the possible use of budget reconciliation will be a key decision as the House and Senate Budget Committees draft their FY 2010 budget resolutions.

More Aid for AIG:
Congress passed a short-term continuing resolution on March 6 to keep government agencies operating through March 11 while the Senate works to complete action on a $410 billion omnibus appropriations bill for the remainder of FY 2009.
Completion of the bill has been delayed by amendments seeking to freeze spending at FY 2008 levels, reduce earmarks, and other hot button political issues. Thus far, no amendments have passed.
On February 25, the House passed the omnibus appropriations bill by a vote of 245-178. Speaker Pelosi has said the House will not accept any amendments to the package, which was negotiated with appropriators on both sides of the aisle. However, passage of a full-year CR in lieu of an amended omnibus bill would seem an unlikely move for Democrats.
Reason for the omnibus bill: Last fall, Congress completed action on only 3 of the 12 regular FY 2009 appropriations bills.
The pending omnibus bill passed the House on a close to party-line vote. House Republicans argued that the measure should have frozen 2009 spending at 2008 levels, rather than providing adjustments for inflation and other increases.
Congressional Quarterly reported that the bill increases spending by about $31 billion -- 8 percent, more than the total funding in the FY 2008 versions of the spending bills.
Senate Democrats need to find several moderate Republican votes to reach the 60 votes needed to avoid a Republican filibuster of the appropriations measure. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said his colleagues want to "shrink the overall size of the pie."
Background -- Last year's FY 2009 appropriations process was one of the worst on record. Only one FY 2009 appropriations bill made it to the House Floor.
There were two reasons for the serious disruption of the regular appropriations process. First, President Bush threatened to veto any appropriations bills that exceeded his requests, and Democrats--as reflected in the Budget Resolution--called for nearly $25 billion more than the President requested. Second, House Republicans attempted to amend appropriations bills with off-shore oil drilling amendments, strongly opposed by many Democrats.
Consequently, in late September, Congress enacted a stopgap measure to keep Federal programs operating. The stopgap measure:
Impending $76 Billion War Supplemental: The Administration will send to Congress, within the next few weeks, a $76 billion war supplemental for the remainder of FY 2009. This would bring total war spending for the current fiscal year up to $143 billion.

With rollout of the President's Budget and last week's White House Summit on Health Reform, a major push to (1) expand health coverage and (2) reduce the rapid growth of health care costs is under way.
Reducing the rapid rate of growth in health care costs is a fiscal policy imperative. Rapid cost growth is dramatically boosting government spending on Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Health Care, TRICARE coverage for military families, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
The rapidly rising costs of these programs -- especially Medicare and Medicaid -- has led to broad agreement among our nation's top economic officials that the United States is currently on a perilous fiscal path that threatens the long-term stability of the U.S. economy.
Earlier this year, Peter Orszag -- current OMB Director and former CBO Director -- warned the Senate Budget Committee that "over the long term, the federal budget is on an unsustainable path....the principal driver of our long-term deficits is rising health care costs....If costs per enrollee in our two main federal health programs, Medicare and Medicaid, grow at the same rate as they have for the past 40 years, those two programs will increase from about five percent of GDP to 20 percent by 2050. That's roughly the entire size of the federal government today."
Treasury Secretary Geithner has emphasized that rapidly rising U.S. health care costs harm competitiveness in the global market. Health costs in 2009 are projected to consume 17.6% of the U.S. economy (GDP), nearly double spending in other mature (OECD) economies. (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development)
To begin the health reform process, President Obama's budget proposes to spend at least $634 billion over 10 years on health care reform aimed at making health coverage affordable, researching comparative effectivness of treatments, investing in prevention and wellness, and improving quality of care. The initiatives would be contingent on securing funding from: (1) placing a 28% cap on the tax deductions that upper-income earners can claim; and (2) making $316 billion in reforms to Medicare and Medicaid.
Politically, health care reform will be a heavy lift. The Washington Post reports that opposition to details of the Administration plan have already emerged: strong opposition has emerged to the proposal to cap itemized deductions for upper income earners; AARP opposes raising Medicare prescription premiums on wealthy retirees; major insurers oppose switching the Medicare Advantage program (which markets managed-care plans to seniors) to a competitive bidding process; and home health care providers object to cuts in their Medicare reimbursements.
On limiting itemized deductions, the Administration has asserted it would impact only 1 percent of taxpayers and would have only a modest negative impact on charitable giving.
Tentative Schedule: According to Congress Daily, Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) is aiming for a June mark-up of health reform legislation in close coordination with HELP Committee Chairman Edward Kennedy (D-MA). The two chairmen are aiming for their respective committees to produce one comprehensive bill.
New White House Health Reform Website
White House Health Care Summit
On Feb. 26, 2009 President Obama released a general outline of his FY 2010 budget (with further details to be released in April). The budget plan covers the next 10 fiscal years. Following are highlights of the budget plan:
- For taxpayers with incomes over $250,000, the Bush tax cuts would be allowed to expire. The top rate would jump from 35% to 39.6%; the tax on capital gains would jump from 15% to 20%, and the tax on estates worth more than $3.5 million would be taxed at the current rate of 45%. Also, the earnings of hedge fund managers would be taxed as normal income, rather than the lower 15% capital gains rate. These provisions would generate more than $600 billion in revenues over 10 years.
- For all other taxpayers, the budget would extend the Bush tax cuts--including the 10, 15, 25, and 28 percent brackets, the child tax credit, and marriage penalty relief--at a cost of more than $2 trillion over 10 years. The budget would also make permanent the stimulus bill's annual $800 per family tax cut at a cost of $526 billion over 10 years (paid for by new "cap & trade" revenues -- see below).
On the negative side: (1) the budget assumes economic growth of 3.2% next year, far higher than the Blue Chip estimates; (2) the budget assumes that FY 2008 war funding levels continue indefinitely and then claims major "budget savings" by proposing war funding of only $50 billion for 2011 and thereafter; (3) the budget claims savings from letting the Bush tax cuts for high income earners expire, even though that is current law; and (4) the budget avoids paying for extension of the remaining Bush tax cuts and the AMT fix by "assuming" them as part of the budget baseline.

The Wigg Party is proud to announce that the next incarnation of the global phenomenon known as the Carrotmob will be happening here in our own backyard at the Matching Half Cafe on October 23rd from 3-6 pm. During these hours, Matching Half will commit a whopping 200% of their profit to making their business practices more sustainable. Yes, you read correctly: 200%!
For those of you who are unaware, a Carrotmob is one of the most effective tactics for helping a local business become more sustainable. The idea is really pretty simple: local businesses, traditionally of one type (we chose cafes), bid against each other to win the mob of people who stand ready to descend on whichever business is willing to commit the largest percentage of their profit from a particular day to reinvest in their business to make it more sustainable (the mob is the "carrot" which entices each business to bid a higher percentage). Each business is free to decide what project they want to invest in – anything from energy efficiency to local food to waste diversion. When the bidding process is over and a winner has been chosen, the event goes down and the winning business has a significant chunk of money to use to bring their practices more in line with where they're going to need to be going forward anyway.
Our bidding process was a lot of fun and a great way to get to know the owners of our local cafes. Because of the unusual weather patterns here in San Francisco, we put a bit of a self-imposed deadline on our process so that we would have enough time to promote and produce the event before our Indian Summer ran out. This meant that we didn't get to squeeze out every last percentage from our bidding coffee shops, but no matter: we were still able to get our business to commit one of the highest percentages in the history of Carrotmob!
The first bid to come in was Matching Half's to the tune of 100% of profit, which they promised to use to buy a bike trailer (to transport food from a local farmers' market), buy more local food (which can be more expensive), buy reusable food storage containers to limit their use of plastic wrap, and to purchase organic milk, which is significantly more expensive than non-organic. We were thrilled with the bid and eagerly shopped it around to the other cafes to see if anyone could beat it. We got one bite: Central Coffee came back with a bid of 200% to invest in a solar water heater for their roof! We love San Francisco! Back to Matching Half – can you beat this? They came up with the matching bid, and none too soon. We needed to decide the business so we could properly promote. In the end we went with Matching Half's 200% bid for a couple reasons – we knew that the projects they promised to do were achievable from the funds generated by the event, something we weren't sure about for the solar water heater. The other reason was that we just felt like they put a bit more thought into their bid and were willing to really analyze where they could make effective changes. Even though they just started their business within the last year with a really keen eye towards being sustainable, they didn't come back to us with the tired reply that they "already do everything well." They knew there would always be room to improve and it is really this spirit that won them the event.
So mark your calendars folks! October 23rd 3-6 pm. Not only is Matching Half taking every cent of profit from these hours to reinvest in their business, they'll even provide the "Matching Half" to the tune of 200% of the profit! You didn't really think we'd end the post without dropping that juicy pun, did you?

Working toward ever lower temperatures is only part of the battle for physicists studying ultra-cold systems of atoms. A group of researchers has now found a way to deal with disorder as well, as they pump entropy away from an atomic gas.
Physicists are continually reaching new lows as they reduce the temperatures of samples in their laboratories. But even nano-kelvins are not low enough to overcome the entropy (a measure of the disorder in a system) that stands between them and the discovery of exotic states of ultra-cold matter. Now physicists at two Italian universities have developed a technique that siphons entropy out of a collection of atoms in much the same way that a kitchen refrigerator removes heat from the food stored inside. The new method is described in Physical Review Letters and highlighted in the September 28 issue of Physics.
The system that Jacopo Catani (University of Florence) and colleagues assembled begins with a cloud of potassium and rubidium atoms held in a magnetic trap. They selected a laser with a wavelength of light that interacted with the potassium atoms, but had little effect on the rubidium atoms. They then compressed the potassium atom cloud by focusing the laser to a point in the trap. Compressing a gas usually increases its temperature, but the surrounding rubidium kept things in check, allowing the researchers to hold the temperature roughly constant as entropy was shifted from the potassium to the rubidium atoms.
The novel technique should work with other combinations of atoms as well, offering researchers a new tool to aid them in their pursuit of physics at ultra-low temperatures and entropies.

Apple [AAPL] didn't mention the iPhone 5 during WWDC this week (though see the image below for current speculation) and only introduced a single Mac model equipped with a Retina Display, but there's more to come.
[ABOVE: A fragment of the WWDC presentation got attendees muttering: Was that phone in the picture illustrating future in-car integration a 4-inch iPhone 5? Answers on a postcard, please...]
Retina Display, the beginnings
Apple likes to tease us with new features. Remember the original iPhone which lacked support for 3G? That was a feature which appeared in the next release. Now the company is doing it again, upgrading its MacBook Pro and Air ranges, but introducing one new killer feature within the high-end Retina Display MacBook Pro.
That's what's available now, but in future it doesn't stretch the imagination to believe the company will introduce the screen across its Mac range.
Doing so will demand the cost of production shrinks. These displays are (apparently) expensive. A Digitimes report this morning tells us they cost $150 each, which is likely why they're only available on the high end model.
However, the way the company does its business is to introduce a high-end feature and then to slowly bring it to the rest of its product range. It's about encouraging consumers to spend that little bit more -- as indeed they are: availability for the new high-end model has already slipped to 3-4 weeks from 5-7 days, according to the company's own online store.
Apple also upgraded its Mac Pro during WWDC. The company didn't announce the improvements to the machine, they're fairly inconsequential -- so much so that Apple has removed the "New" tag which appeared on the Mac Pro's Apple Store description.
Does the company still have love for its professional Macs? I don't believe they're the company's main focus any more, but Apple CEO Tim Cook emailed one customer to promise jam tomorrow, saying:
"Although we didn't have a chance to talk about a new Mac Pro at today's event, don't worry as we're working on something really great for later next year."
The email -- confirmed as genuine by Macworld -- also appeared on a Facebook group called "We Want a New Mac Pro".
It's open to question whether 2013 is soon enough for Apple's professional users.
Also missing from this week's announcements, the iMac. This seems due an upgrade of some sort, but the Mac Pro 2013 promise suggests we won't be seeing a Retina Display on the consumer desktop just yet, though perhaps this might in future first appear as an option at the high-end of that range.
That Retina Display Macs are coming is a certainty, once the cost of the screens begins to shrink. Perhaps this move to HD displays (including within Apple's standalone Mac Pro monitors) requires production capacity and cost improvements. But will customers wait until 2013? I'm not so sure.
"We also announced a MacBook Pro with a Retina Display that is a great solution for many pros," Cook added in his email.
As Apple focuses on the mobile segments I'm wondering if it hasn't once again become time for the company to license out its OS and technologies to hand-picked firms in order they produce high-end Mac desktop clones. After all, last time Apple licensed its systems to other manufacturers, the Mac was all of the company's business. These days, well, these days it's not.
iPhone 5 hints
Apple's all but told us when the iPhone 5 is going to ship, and sure enough we'll be waiting until Fall for the new "Made By Robots" smartphone to appear, as that's when iOS 6 is set to ship.
This puts all the bets firmly on the September/October time frame if these things are to ship in quantity in time for Christmas, and with the second Tuesday in September being the 11th, I'm guessing we'll see it launch in the third week of that month at the earliest.
What else did we learn? Apple kind of mapped it out. The new Maps feature offers turn-by-turn navigation and the new 3D Flyover emulation, but only on the iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and iPad 3. Why aren't these new features supported on the iPhone 4 or original iPad? I think it's about the processor.
The iPhone 4 is powered by the A4 chip while the iPhone 4S uses the A5 processor. The iPad 2 also uses the A5 while the iPad 3 exploits the more recent A5X processor. This suggests the iPhone 5 will offer an even faster chip, most likely the A6.
When describing Maps Apple's Scott Forstall showed us a slide in which you see an iPhone in a car (above). This seems to show a longer iPhone model. This could be much ado about nothing, but hints that the chorus of claims predicting a 4-inch model may turn out to be true.
Then there's these images purported to be of the iPhone 5 which appeared online this morning.
Then there's Passbook. This is a location-aware folder for electronic tickets: boarding passes, gig tickets, shopping vouchers and so on. When it works you'll find the ticket you need is shown on-screen when you arrive at the appropriate location. Some may not its similarity to Google Wallet, which does some of these things on those few devices running the latest Android OS.
Inclusion of Passbook could suggest Apple intends deploying NFC support in the new iPhone. The company doesn't need to do this. After all, since 2011 it has sat on the Bluetooth Special Interest Group and has helped create the standard that is Bluetooth v4.0.
The new MacBook Pro supports Bluetooth v4.0, joining the new iPad, the iPhone 4S and the MacBook Air range which also support this standard. All these products can potentially connect to any Bluetooth Smart device. That's good for all sorts of peripheral devices, but also supports technologies enabling secure device-based payments.
Will banks choose to support this? The signs are good. A new UK app called GetCash allows Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and NatWest customers to withdraw cash from cash machines using an app and their iPhone.
So, what do we have so far:
- iPhone 5 announcement in September/October;
- A faster processor;
- A 4-inch display;
- Payment support;
- New Bluetooth options.
That's not so bad for a keynote in which the company didn't once mention the iPhone 5. Did the company offer any other potential hints at the new device? Please let me know in comments below.

Debt ceiling
It looks like the US Congress will allow the Obama administration to borrow the money it needs to keep the government running - but only for a few more months. And there are deep spending cuts due in March. What are the implications for the US economy? George Magnus, independent adviser to UBS gives his assessment. A former Federal Reserve Governor, Randall Kroszner, looks at what it would take to get government debt on to path that is sustainable in the long term. And our regular contributor Jeremy Wagstaff ponders the future of the office - will they exist at all? He doubts it.

Mina Wright, 93, of Lecanto, Fla., died on Saturday, April 20, 2013, at Citrus Health and Rehabilitation Center in Inverness.
A longtime resident of Key West, Fla., Mina was born in Los Angeles, Calif., on Aug. 28, 1919, to Guillermo and Maxine Medina. She graduated from Los Angeles City College with a degree in drafting, which she used in service to her country. In 1942, Mina joined the Navy and was stationed in Washington, D.C., where she was the only woman in an office of men. She proved herself and enjoyed her sojourn there. While in D.C., she met her husband, Donald Lundy Wright, marrying him on Groundhog Day in 1945. They remained in the D.C. area for the next few years.
In 1947, in Bethesda, Md., she gave birth to her first son, William Donald Wright. They were later transferred to Coco de Sol, Panama, where she gave birth to Donald Lundy Wright II in 1949. Then they were transferred to Key West, then between Key West and Panama, settling, upon Donald's retirement from the Navy, in Key West.
Mina lived in Key West until the fall of 2003, when she moved first to Sebring, Fla., and later to Lecanto.
While in Key West, Mina worked for civil service and was a board member for the Credit Union. She and Donald loved to travel, going frequently to California and Hawaii as well as abroad.
Upon her retirement, Mina took the position of concierge at the Casa Marina Resort in Key West. She was a familiar and welcome sight in the lobby for many years, greeting guests and locals alike.
She received the honor of becoming the first Key West member of Les Clefs d'Or. Her Honorary Conch Certificate, presented to her by Wilhelmina Harvey, hung in a place of honor. She was an active Rotarian, volunteering at many events.
Survivors include her son William of Lecanto, Fla.; her daughter-in-law Rachel Wright, widow of Donald II, of Sebring; grandchildren Todd Wright and his wife Nicole of Chicago, Ill., and Robyn Wright of Key Largo Fla; great-grandchildren Grady Wright and Susanna Wright of Chicago and Makenzie Wright, Coral DePauw and Caylee DePauw of Key Largo. Mina was preceded in death by her parents, Guillermo and Maxine Medina; husband, Donald Lundy Wright; brother Ruben Medina; and son Donald Wright II.
Her life will be celebrated with close family and friends at a later date in Key West.

India needs both Bhagwati and Sen's economic models: Shankkar Aiyar
Amartya Sen vs Jagdish Bhagwati: whose economic model is better suited to tackle India's poverty?
Author of 'Accidental India' Shankkar Aiyar joined IBNLive readers for an interaction on Amartya Sen vs Jagdish Bhagwati economic models.
Q. Mr Aiyar, What can we learn from both these points of view and why is the media hell bent on making this a fight between them? These are respected economist with different views on the way forward and I feel that we should learn from both instead of taking sides. Asked by: Jai
A. Prof Sen and Prof Bhagwati represent two views on how to engineer progress for the nation and prosperity for the people. Essentially the issue is about the hierarchy of objectives. Prof Sen tends to argue that investment in human indicators will eventually lead to development. Prof Bhagwati has argued that growth must be the principal objective and it will lead to other desired objectives.I dont think either is against growth or against human development. In my opinion Growth is a necessary condition for achieving sufficient human development. Basically someone -- the government in this case -- must pay for the investment in human development and these resources can only come from growth. I believe India needs both the Bhagwati and Sen models. I would lay emphasis on focussing on growth because that is what national and individual aspiration is all about.
Q. When the world is following a liberalized economy method and creation of wealth what is wrong if India is following it? Is minimizing corruption not the way to reduce poverty gradually? Asked by: Raghava Rao Karavadi
A. This is a question Indians have asked since Independence. India was among the most globalised trading nations in the 1800s. India's political class though - prompted by pride and paranoia - chose a closed economy. Even in 2013 the preference is for controls, permits and clearances because that is what funds the business model of politics. The choice - if it is - between the two models is artificial. It is predicated by political preference for what is electorally profitable.
Q. Sir, do you think Mr Sen or Mr Bhagwati should have avoided commenting on individuals and made their personal choices public? Should they have rather made observations on economic situation and solution to the India's economic problems? Asked by: Kishore
A. I would say both Prof Sen and Prof Bhagwati could have handled this much more gracefully.
Q. Does India need any expert to gauge the Indian economy. Decision taken in UPA - I are the real factors for today. All the hype was bogus. Everything was running with black economy now it has stopped thus is the result now. Why need experts it is just usage of television time - your take sir. Asked by: banukk
A. You cannot discount the value of knowledge, research and analysis - no matter who. India needs a wider deeper discourse on how its economy and development is managed and the current controversy is - unintentionally - achieving that.
Q. Do you think that since Bhagwati is a Ethnic Gujarati and Sen a Bengali, the difference in their opinions is a result of this. Gujarat and its people have always been Economically right wing, while Bengal despises Economic right? Asked by: Bruce
A. We shouldn't get carried away with ideas of identity and purported preferences. Prof Bhagwati has held his view for four decades and more and so has Prof Sen.
Q. Its beyond doubt that the Gujarat Model is not Modi's brainchild. But its a model nevertheless and a hugely successful one. So shouldn't it be considered to base your future growth direction upon(and not copied)? Do you think that Sen is over reacting with respect to HDI numbers in Gujarat? Asked by: Oliver
A. If political parties focussed on growth and worked to enable it through investment in human development to empower people we would not be having this debate. Unfortunately India's political system is structured around patronage for votes. That is the real tragedy.
Q. Are Amartya Sen and Jagdish Bhagwati really so influential on India's economic polices that the media is giving such a hype to them and their views? Asked by: Abhiram
A. Of course Prof Bhagwati and Prof Sen are influential thinkers and not just in India, the world over. What you are witnessing is a change in the Indian polity. Finally people are asking the relevant questions from their elected representatives and governments. And the debate between the two thoughts is part of the discourse we need to have.
Q. Dear Sir, what effect on this controversy will be on NaMo and/or Mr Sen? Asked by: Satya
A. I don't think either will be affected. The "controversy" is a sign of Indians asking the right questions.
Q. Socialism Vs Capitalism is an ongoing debate as that of Development Vs Eco management. Could it be that both economist may be right to hold on their point of view and media should not try to show it of as a big fight? Asked by: sundar1950in
A. World over the tussle in the tent of democracy has been about first charge on resources. It is not different in India. This debate is a bit wider and re-examines the focus of political objectives. It is good for democracy.
Q. Dear Sir, being a Nobelist and Bharat Ratna, does such comments are uncalled for, unwanted and prejudice. Asked by: Satya
A. Prof Sen has not lost/surrendered his right to express a view just because he was awarded a Bharat Ratna. Whether he is right or wrong, whether he votes or not nobody can take away his right to express a view. Like it or not, he has every right to express a view.
Q. Instead of open criticism of one another in public fora...shouldn't Sen and Bhagwati opt for a debate on a public channel and sort out differences and close the matter? Asked by: Rajesh Bhattad
A. It is a good idea. I agree maybe they should debate their views on a public platform. What I think is more important though is for Indians to participate and nurture the culture of debate and cast not "caste" their vote so that political parties are forced act in the long term interests.
Q. The only comfort POOR of the country can draw solace is they are being discussed every where, in economic models, in TV Studios, by eminent economists who perhaps have not encountered poverty in real terms. Now they have a price, the debate is whether it should be INR 12 or INR 33........In light of this, the point of view expressed by these two leading economists is a discussion point for the same audience. Why are they not able to explain the fact that even after 60 years of independence we are debating the models, and the reasons why the measure to alleviate poverty have failed, despite the fact that crores have been pumped. We know the number of villages, the number of districts, we have machinery and wherewithal, of they throw some light on how to implement the existing schemes it would be really great. Asked by: S ESHWAR
A. I have looked at this very question you are raising in my book Accidental India. Change comes to India only in the wake of shame and fear driven by crises. The transformation of India is therefore accidental.
Q. Dear Shankkar, do you think a truly "right of center" political party can ever come to existance in India, BJP is not right of center as popularly believed, something like mass based Swantantra Party? Asked by: arjun
A. The BJP was formed as a socialist party, whether the current leaders agree or not. It has fulminated against populism just as the Congress does when in opposition. India does need a right of centre party. More importantly India's national parties need to find out what they stand for - currently they can only articulate what/or who they are against. Yes without doubt India needs thinkers like Rajaji and B R Shenoy. It badly needs real heroes like C Subramaniam, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Verghese Kurien. We are saddled with the bonsai variety who have apportioned the glory that belongs to others.
Q. Political economy is necessary not only economics for development of this country. Asked by: kirti
A. There is - please remember- no politics without economics and no economics without politics. There is only one kind of economy and that is the political economy. This is true of India and the world.
Q. In Kerala the Human Resource Index is among the highest, but it has not transgressed in to development. Does this gives credence to the Prof Bhagwati model? Asked by: Daniel Godfrey
A. I don't think the goals of growth and human development are competitive. Indeed they complement each other. Kerala has done better than many countries and all Indian states in human development. There are many cultural, geographical and political reasons for this. It is also true that Kerala has consistently resisted industrialisation. But that is the will of the people of Kerala - if it was not so they would have elected governments that promoted industrialisation and job creation.
Q. East is East west is West. Will there ever be a synthesis of Sen-Bhagwati doctrines in India that could herald a new chapter in economy? Asked by: Arun Murthy
A. The divide being projected is largely artifical. The difference between the two thoughts is essentially on the hierarchy of goals. Prof Sen believes governments must first deliver human development and growth will follow. Prof Bhagwati argues focus on growth will force governments to do all that is necessary to achieve it and that will include investment in education, health and infrastructure. What India needs is a new matrix of what growth can be defined as.
Q. The UPA 2 is friendly with Amartya. Is that an irritant for Jagdish? Asked by: sundar1950in
A. The issue is far more complex. It is not about likes and dislikes.
Q. Dear Sir, Is it appropriate on Mr. Sen's part to single out his reservation on Mr Modi. Mr Sen's move seems rather contrived and political to personalize on an individual. Your views please. Asked by: Satya
A. Prof Sen is entitled to his opinion. Dissent is the essence of keeping democracy alive. Those who disagree are equally entitled to their opinion.
Q. Dear Sir, Mr. Sen's experience has ever been any help to India's economy. In what way he can be a panacea on the present economic situation. Asked by: Satya
A. Prof Sen's contributions to the understanding of poverty, human development and welfare economics has been lauded the world over. Do not discount the worth of knowledge. Everyone has a right to disagree with the model Prof Sen is propagating.
Q. Dear Sir, 2002 was not the first riot and god forbid may not be the last. But why other politician gets away with it and only Modi being demonised incessantly for something that occurs 11 years back in a state that has already moved on. And he's not convicted by any legal court. Isn't it very selective and partial on part of so called intellects and so called secular class Asked by: Satya
A. This debate is about the ideas of development of Prof Bhagwati and Prof Sen.
Q. Two academicians having different views is nothing new and wrong.Why so much hype on this by media? Asked by: sundar1950in
A. It is not hype. Understand the context. India now has a much larger middle class than every before. Indians are far better informed than ever before. Aspirations are far greater than ever before. Indians have finally begun to wonder why India can't do better. And therefore, I would argue, finally the Republic is awakening. Discourse is the bedrock of any democracy.
Q. Dear Sir, why Mr Sen or likewise sway away for their opinion on economic disaster and policy turmoil of UPA 2. Asked by: Satya
A. It is the turmoil in the economy that is creating the room for this debate. The questions are being raised and are embedded in this debate.
Q. An academician and a noble should avoid a controversy with politicians. Is Amartya on a turf in which he should not have entered? Asked by: sundar1950in
A. I disagree. Prof Sen speaks, writes and thinks on the political economy. This is par for the course.

Me let the tender office long engage,
To rock the cradle of reposing age.
First follow nature, and your judgment frame
By her just standard, which is still the same:
Unerring nature, still divinely bright,
One clear, unchanged and universal light,
Life, force and beauty must to all impart,
At once the source and end and test of Art.
Poets, like painters, thus unskilled to trace
The naked nature and the living grace,
With gold and jewels cover every part,
And hide with ornaments their want of art.
True wit is nature to advantage dressed,
What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed.
Expression is the dress of thought, and still
Appears more decent, as more suitable.
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan;
The proper study of mankind is man....
Created half to rise, and half to fall;
Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all;
Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled;
The glory, jest and riddle of the world.
All nature is but art, unknown to thee;
All chance, direction which thou canst not see;
All discord, harmony not understood;
All partial evil, universal good;
And, spite of pride, in erring reason's spite,
One truth is clear: whatever is, is right.
Honor and shame from no condition rise;
Act well your part, there all the honor lies.

'Wolves Win Wild Game in Extras
Courtesy: Erie SeaWolves
The SeaWolves, down to their final three outs on Sunday night, plated a pair of runs in the ninth and 10th innings and held on for a 10-9 win over the Binghamton Mets.
The SeaWolves struck in the top of the first inning against Mets starter Rainy Lara. Jamie Johnson, Marcus Lemon and Devon Travis all singled to load the bases. With two outs, Dean Green belted a bases-clearing double to straight away center for a 3-0 lead.
The Mets responded in the bottom of the first against Erie starter Kyle Ryan. With one out, Dilson Herrera and Brian Burgamy each doubled plating a run making it 3-1. Burgamy scored on a Darrell Ceciliani base hit cutting the Erie lead down to a run.
Erie jumped all over Lara once again in the third and once again with two out hitting. With Travis on first, Green doubled down the left field line, plating Travis for a 4-2 lead. Aaron Westlake followed and singled home Green making it 5-2. Westlake advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on a Dixon Machado knock for a 6-2 lead.
Binghamton wasted no time once again making it a one-run game. Herrera led off with a single and was doubled home by Burgamy making it 6-3. With two outs, T. J. Rivera homered to left, making it 6-5.
The Mets tied the game in the bottom of the fifth when Dustin Lawley connected on his second home run of the series, making it 6-6.
After failing score with two on base in the top of the sixth, the Mets took their first lead of the night in the bottom half. Brandon Nimmo reached on a fielder's choice and Travis Taijeron belted a two-run home run to left for an 8-6 lead.
The SeaWolves tied the game in the top of the ninth against reliever Adam Kolarek. Travis led off with a single and Steven Moya followed and belted a two-run home run, his 21st, off the scoreboard in right-center making it 8-8.
The game moved into the top of the 10th after reliever Will Startup worked a perfect ninth. Lemon led off the 10th with a walk against reliever Chase Huchingson. Travis singled and advanced to second on a throw putting runners on second and third. After an intentional walk to Moya, Corey Jones singled home Lemon for a 9-8 lead. Green followed and sent a bouncer to first that scored Travis on a fielder's choice to make it 10-8.
In the bottom of the 10th, the Mets loaded the bases against Startup. Rivera was hit by a pitch, Nimmo walked and Taijeron walked. Startup walked pinch hitter Jayce Boyd, scoring Rivera, making it 10-9. Erie went to the bullpen and brought in Kenny Faulk with the bases loaded and no outs. Faulk struck out Kyle Johnson and Herrera and induced a pop-out to short from Burgamy, preserving the win, earning his first save.
Startup (3-1) earned the win allowing a run on one hit with three walks and a hit batter in two-plus innings of work.

recently I have applied for a free KIS software as a member of the barclays bank.
My membership has been confirmed and I have received an activation code which should activate KIS 2013 and 2014. Unfortunately it doesnt work which seems quite odd.
After connecting to the server, KIS shows a message "This license does not apply to this application" - it is very odd as below you can see an email from Kaspersky:
"Thank you for applying for free Kaspersky Internet Security software. Your membership details have now been confirmed with Barclays.
Your activation code is: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (THIS CODE WILL ONLY WORK WITH KASPERSKY INTERNET SECURITY Version 2013 and 2014)
If you are running an older version than Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 or another Anti Virus software, you can upgrade to the 2014 version by uninstalling the previous version or software first via the control panel of your PC and then download the Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 version. Do this by clicking here and follow the step-by-step instructions.
If you do not have any previous Anti Virus software, including Kaspersky product, download and installed the Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 now by following this link.
Once it is installed, you can enter your Activation Code when it requests you (we suggest you copy and paste it - it's much easier).
If you require more information about how to activate Kaspersky Internet Security, or have other questions please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page
Don't forget you can install this software on up to 3 PCs in your home. The licence will last one year from the point of the initial activation on the first machine- check back with Barclays Online Banking next year for instructions on how to renew."
I tried with both KIS 2013/2014 on my Windows 8 and no luck.
Is there any way to check what is wrong with this code as it is quite annoying??
thanks for any info

Secure Stocks for an Unsure Market
High unemployment, a shaky economy with talk of a "double-dip recession," and more debt crises in Europe drove stocks lower throughout most of August. And fear of lower prices has kept the public out of stocks following the breakdown of the major indices early in the month. Technically a Dow Theory Bear Market signal resulted from a mid-month breakdown, and other technical characteristics followed including a "death cross" and a plunge in the S&P 500 to 1,101 and last summer's trading range.
Late in the month, the indices formed symmetrical triangles, which are continuation patterns that indicate indecision — in this case a three-week period of indecision due to the withdrawal of the public from a market that is in the hands of "high-frequency trading." Normally a pattern like this breaks in the direction of the major trend (down). But due to the currently unnatural source of trading (computer to computer), it could break on the upside and run the broad market back to the breakdown point at S&P 500 1,260. But lower prices in September could provide opportunities to buy quality stocks at bargain prices, and this month's list of stocks to buy has been examined for those opportunistic bargains.
Here are the top stocks to buy for September:

The Fix gives some analysis and perspective on why Gov. Pawlenty may delay signing an election certificate declaring Al Franken the winner of the U.S. Senate race. The reason: It helps him with the GOP base. He also wrote that it makes little sense for him to run for a third term:
That said, if Pawlenty wants to be a serious contender for president in 2012, it makes little sense for him to run for reelection as he narrowly escaped defeat in 2006 against a lackluster Democratic nominee (former state Attorney General Mike Hatch) and, given Minnesota's decided shift toward Democrats in recent elections, it's hard to imagine his odds at a third term would be any better than 50-50. A loss in 2010 would doom him for 2012 — see: Allen, George.
