Is antitrust law a necessary defense against the predatory business practices of wealthy, entrenched corporations that dominate a market? Or does antitrust law actually work to restrain and restrict the competitive process, injuring the public it is supposed to protect? In this breakthrough study, Professor Armentano thoroughly researches the classic cases in antitrust law and demonstrates a surprising gap between the stated aims of antitrust law and what it actually accomplishes in the real world. Instead of protecting competition, Professor Armentano finds, antitrust law actually protects certain politically-favored competitors. This is an essential work for anyone wishing to understand the limitations and problems of contemporary antitrust actions.
Table of Contents
Corporate mergers and so-called hostile takeovers are making big headlines. The Supreme Court opened the door to state and private challenges to mergers, while among the many allegations against Michael Milken, the junk bond king, was the charge that he financed takeovers. This hysterical atmosphere may breath new life into the nations myriad and complex antitrust laws, after they had fallen into disfavor and disuse. President Bushs appointments to the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission seem less inclined to continue Reagans reign of salutary neglect.
The lurid headlines, unfortunately, are so obsessed with the plight of investors and managers that they never consider the consumer. Yet a new foray into antitrust enforcement would spell disaster. That is why it is particularly appropriate that the Independent Institute has brought out a new edition of Antitrust and Monopoly: Anatomy of a Policy Failure.
The author of this searching and scathing indictment is Dominick T. Armentano, professor of economics at the University of Hartford. In addition to the authors revised introduction, the new edition features a foreword by Yale Brozen, Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicagos Graduate School of Business.
Antitrust in Theory
The alleged purpose of antitrust laws is to foster competition. The popular fear is that without them monopolies will restrict output, drive up prices, and thereby gouge the consumer. But as Armentano argues, this fear is grounded in superficial or unrealistic economic theories. These theories compare the structure of existing markets with some abstract ideal, usually perfect competition. It then becomes the governments job to wrench this structure into conformity with the ideal.
Antitrust and Monopoly shows that perfect competition can never be achieved in the real world. The standard makes such arbitrary assumptions as totally homogeneous and unchanging products, atomistic hordes of suppliers who have no individual impact on prices, and the possession of all relevant information by all market participants. Armentano, in contrast, following in the venerable tradition of the Austrian school of economists (e.g., Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, and Joseph Schumpeter), views competition as a process rather than as a structure.
Competition results from the dynamic efforts of profit-seeking entrepreneurs operating with imperfect information to coordinate production with the desires of consumers. The static theory of perfect competition not only subjects the market to an impossible ideal. It condemns antitrust enforcement to a war against the very competitive practices and innovations that entrepreneurs can profitably employ to better serve consumers. Attempts to base antitrust judgments on [these models], argues Armentano, necessarily lead to economically absurd cases with harmful social consequences.
Antitrust in Practice
Antitrust fares badly in theory; it comes out even worse in practice. There are already many fine critiques of antitrust theory, and other scholars have challenged either the recent excesses of antitrust enforcement or its application in limited cases. The unique contribution of Antitrust and Monopoly is to survey the entire range of U.S. cases, beginning at the very first antitrust law, the Sherman Act, passed one hundred years ago exactly.
Armentano concludes that there was no golden age when monopolistic abuse was running rampant in a free market and when, accordingly, antitrust policy was magnificently relevant. Despite an exhaustive examination of every major antitrust case to reach the Supreme Court, Antitrust and Monopoly can find no single substantiated instance of a private monopoly harming consumers through output restrictions and price hikes. Instead, the government in all these cases stifled competitive practices that were benefiting consumers. The only victims of these supposed monopolistic practices were other competitors who could not serve the consumers as efficiently.
Consider the classic 1911 antitrust case: Standard Oil of New Jersey. The Standard Oil Company did at one time account for 88 percent of the market for petroleum products. Yet this unusual dominance had resulted from the companys amazing efficiency, which had been consistently passed on to consumers in the form of ever lower prices. Moreover, new competitors had whittled down Standard Oils share to 68 percent by the time the government instituted its antitrust action. Yet, in deciding for the government, the courts never bothered to look at any economic analysis. Even today, there is absolutely no evidence that Standard Oil ever engaged in any practice that harmed consumers.
The common myththat efficiency monopolies first destroy all competitors with predatory pricing, then recoup their losses with sky-high priceshas absolutely no historical foundation. The Standard Oil case does not substantiate it. Nor does Antitrust and Monopolys painstaking review of the remaining record turn up any other documented instance.
A second case, however, detailed in Antitrust and Monopoly shows the bizarre twists and harmful outcomes that antitrust often entails. The case arose out of the Clayton Acts prohibition against tying agreements. Standard Oil of California had exclusive contracts with California gasoline stations representing only 6.7 percent of the market in 1949, and this share was declining. Moreover, these contracts typically lasted for only six months. Standards major competitors had been employing identical contracts since 1938 and together supplied a larger share of the market. And the courts conceded that the contracts reduced costs. Nevertheless, they prohibited Standard Oil of Californias use of these contracts.
Perhaps no case helps Armentano more explicitly reveal the bankruptcy of antitrust logic than the Brown Shoe case of 1962. It involved a 1956 merger between the Brown Shoe Company and the G. R. Kinney Company. In supporting the lower court decision that struck down the merger, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren fully admitted that of course, some of the results of large integrated or chain operations are beneficial to consumers. But the benefits were immaterial. Congress appreciated, Warren added, that occasional higher costs and prices might result from the maintenance of fragmented industries and markets. It resolved these competing considerations in favor of decentralization. We must give effect to that decision.
The Real Source of Monopoly
In case after case, Antitrust and Monopoly discovers the same pattern repeated with abysmal regularity. Antitrust laws, rather than restraining monopoly, actually restrain competition. The entire antitrust system, writes Armentano, allegedly created to protect competition and increase consumer welfarehas worked, instead, to lessen business competition and lessen the efficiency and productivity associated with the free-market process. Like many other governmental interventions, antitrust has produced results that are far different from those that were allegedly intended.
In the final analysis, Antitrust and Monopoly offers a stark demonstration that government rather than the market is the ultimate source of monopoly. The only principled and practical way to end monopoly power is to end it at its source. Government regulation, entry control, subsidization, and antitrust are all manifestations of a governmental interventionist power that has been employed by private firms to private advantage and to the detriment of society. The only viable way to end monopoly, concludes Armentano, is to end governmental interventionist power, including antitrust, and... create a free and open society were individuals can fulfill their own vision of the good society.
Skillfully honed, . . . eloquent, . . . Professor Armentanos book must be mastered by all who would be heard on this issue. BUSINESS HISTORY REVIEW
For anyone wanting to know whats behind todays headlines, Antitrust and Monopoly is an attractive introduction. With impressive scholarship, Armentano exposes the mythology around antitrust law. Classic antitrust cases are analyzed so thoroughly that this book should be required reading in economics and law, and by every Congressman. YALE BROZEN, Professor Emeritus of Economics, Graduate School of Business, University of Chicago
Grounded solidly, Antitrust and Monopoly is one of the better examples of the anti-antitrust school of thought. Armentano provides valuable insight. BUSINESS HORIZONS
Antitrust and Monopoly is the single best book-length treatment of this vital public policy issue in print, and it should become a, if not the standard work in economics, history, and political science. PUBLIC CHOICE
Armentanos book illuminates the paradox of antitrust law and policy: Should the law protect competition or competitors? The book is written in a very clear, concise, and declarative manner, which makes it accessible to students as well as interested professionals. ANTITRUST BULLETIN
Antitrust and Monopoly should be on the reading list of every course in antitrust in law schools, business schools, and departments of economics. The economic background of landmark litigation is set forth at greater length than in alternative treatments. Clearly stated and rigorously developed, the book is definitely for professors as well as students. Critics of antitrust will find that the case against it is even stronger than they had thought. Friends of antitrust will be left in no doubt about the case that they have to answer if the policy is to regain intellectual respectability. DONALD DEWEY, Professor of Economics, Columbia University
Dominick T. Armentano is Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Hartford.

They achieved their greatest popularity in the 1980s with "The Safety Dance", a worldwide Top Ten hit (#3 in the United States) and "Pop Goes the World". After a hiatus for most of the 1990s and 2000s, Doroschuk reformed the band in 2010, and released Love in the Age of War (2012). The reformed group, based in Vancouver, has continued to…

Hummus recipe for snacking and full meals on Meatless Monday
No one's saying you have to go meatless just because it's Monday -- but as incentive to join the growing movement, every week we're offering an animal-free recipe.
Hummus is awesome. It's one of those versatile spreads that can work on bagels for breakfast, in sandwiches for lunch, or with carrots or pita bread for a quick snack. (Honestly, we've never regretted putting hummus on anything.) And when you make your own hummus, you can make it just the way you like it: with the perfect consistency and flavor for your palate.
This basic recipe is meant to be modified to your taste. Too thick? Add more water or olive oil. Want a little more a kick? Add more cayenne. Experiment to get your perfect mixture.
You will need:
Two cans of garbanzo beans One or two green onions 1/3 cup tahini 1/3 cup olive oil 1 lemon 2 cloves garlic Cumin to taste Cayenne pepper to taste
1. Cut the onions into one-inch strips and peel the garlic.
2. Place the onion and garlic in a food processor and mix until well-chopped.
Add the tahini, olive oil and juice from the lemon.
3. Drain the chickpeas in a colander.
Add the drained chickpeas to the food processor.
4. Sprinkle in a couple of teaspoons of cumin and cayenne pepper. Blend, taste and adjust the olive oil, cumin and cayenne as needed.

The overall GPA marked the best academic semester in program history and nine players - one-third of the roster - earned Dean's List honors.
Those named to the Dean's List for the fall 2012 semester were Emma Bozek, Casey Di Nardo, Emily Kole, Meghan Lyons, Marta Malmberg, Katie Plyler, Tyler Powell, Loren Shealy and Emily Wold.

Do people regularly rent mobile software by the day? I had no idea.

Cherie Amie Kicks Off 'Do-Good' Lingerie with Indiegogo Campaign
Ten months after designing lingerie to lift women out of poverty, Cherie Amie co-founders Ryan Schuette and Tara Smith celebrated their Indiegogo drive to raise $15,000 with a small crowd in late August.
Their 45-day crowd-funding campaign—which included a lingerie launch party, three fundraising soirees, two live-stream boudoir photography shoots, and late-night emails to friends and family—ended at 12 a.m. Pacific Standard Timewith a dramatic 48-hour rally to $15,250.
"We're so thrilled to complete our Indiegogo campaign for 'do-good' lingerie," says Smith, 27, Cherie Amie CEO and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. "Thanks to our wonderful backers, Cherie Amie will be able to create fair-trade apparel, provide jobs to women in Africa, and fund micro-loans for countless others in extreme poverty all around the world."
Ninety-four funders ultimately joined the campaign to raise startup capital for Cherie Amie. The average person gave $162, with nine contributing more than once and 23 choosing to give anonymously. Many came from across the United States, with others from as far as Australia, Canada, Germany, Niger, and Poland.
Four backers—Samantha Clark, Austin Lilley, Lin Woodson, and one anonymous donor—contributed funds in exchange for the entire lingerie line from Cherie Amie. Other funders chose perks that range from their choice of intimate apparel to a 2013 wall calendar that features The Fair Ladies, four all-volunteer models from the Dallas area.
Of their many supporters, however, Schuette and Smith consider Dallas-area boudoir photographer Carole Hayes, founder of Shot by Carole, one of the most indispensable to their cause. The first person to backCherie Amie, both online and offline, she helped recruit two of The Fair Ladies, shot and edited all photography, and arranged for shoots in high-rises across Dallas, including the penthouse that appears in Cherie Amie's iconic 37-second teaser video.
"Ryan and Tara have hearts of gold," Hayes says. "They're two of the most determined people I've ever known, and will make sure Cherie Amie changes the world, one pair of panties at a time. Beautiful lingerie combined with helping women and their families out of poverty—who can resist a concept like that? I couldn't!"

With the board oriented with the LEDs down, and the ICs facing up, turn it so that the USB JST connector is on the left side
The pins (from top to bottom) are:
USB Data -
USB Data +
I soldered the cut Xbee header to a small board, then connected wired from that to a normal USB connector. It's working great!
I have made my own USB cable connecting to the JST just like you have. When i power the board, it flashes a few colors, then keeps the bottom left LED lit. I have the board set up for single board mode with the input wire going into the same board's output. My computer cannot see this device. I have downloaded the VCP and D2XX virtual com port drivers. "ls /dev" in my terminal does not show the the tty.usbserial port. How are you communicating with this board?
Where is that USB cable? Can i get it anywhere else?
No public wish lists :(

Customer Reviews
Would be 5-star if updated
(First of all, the bad reviews I read here are clearly from people who did not take time to properly set up the app for navigation. You have to customize the settings to your vehicle.)
I have been using the app happily for two years, but the experience is waning (getting worse) simply because the company does not diligently keep the maps updated with clear up-to-date street name and location information and truck stop location information.
Surely to build an app like this and put it out on the market must have required a great deal of work. It seems that it would be pretty easy to keep it up-to-date.
Not worth the money
I bought it for the semi-truck so I could use it instead keeping the Garmin on the windshield. The routing was sending me down a 14 ton weight limit road with a 40 ton truck in Joliet IL, then in Spokane WA it routed me down a street that crosses RR tracks except they need to build a bridge so I cold get across the tracks, the truck routing is not practical, it routes a lot of US and state highways that save you few miles compared to staying on the interstate but it takes longer, it doesn't have a dashboard that would show miles driven, time driven, time stopped etc, maybe for the automobile it's ok but not for semi trucks, drivers don't waste your money.
Purchased the software to use with an IPad to make a navigation display for my truck. While it looks good, the maps are off. It has my location miles in the wrong location, claims there are multiple addresses when there is not and our local landing field for planes is also miles in the wrong place when it's right across from my location. It will not allow me to re-calibrate the maps to put a references in the correct location. Hit and miss, hard to trust it with a large truck !

text: Andrew Collins: My Celebrity Mastermind "disaster" At last, our film editor can talk freely about his previously secret performance Comments Andrew Collins: Take Two Andrew Collins 4:38 PM, 06 January 2012 It wasn't a disaster, but now that my edition of Celebrity Mastermind has aired, I am free to talk about it without having to tiptoe around the show's Official Secrets Act. The programme was recorded, in Manchester, in the middle of November, and I've had to keep my score and my ranking under my hat ever since. (I didn't even tell my mum and dad.) I won't assume you saw it - and if you've yet to watch it on BBC iPlayer and don't wish to know the final score, LOOK AWAY NOW! - but I scored 23 points, which put me in second place behind Midsomer Murders's DCI Barnaby, actor Neil Dudgeon, who scored a romping 29 points and was, frankly, unassailable. I know a couple of people who've been on Mastermind, and I can confirm that it is nerve-wracking to be sat in the iconic black chair - which is remarkably comfortable and supportive, actually. However, doing the programme is not half as terrifying as watching it go out on BBC1. A number of family members insisted on coming round to watch it with me on the night, so we got the curries and alcohol in and made an evening of it. Only my wife and I knew the result in advance, although I had reassured anyone who knows me that I didn't make a complete idiot of myself. (If I had done, I wouldn't have advertised the fact that I was going to be on the show, hoping that nobody would notice. This series, we saw chef Michel Roux Jr go to pieces, passing on the first question of his specialist subject round - so it can happen to anyone.) The close-up camera angles are rather unforgiving. It's weird to see your own face, side-on and at a three-quarter angle, bigger than it is in real life on a flat-screen. It's not natural. I'm just glad that the lighting is such that a shadow is cast over your teeth. There's no need for the nation to see those in high definition! Neil Dudgeon, as avuncular and charming in real life as Midsomer fans would hope, seemed to recall the information by scrunching his face up, and I felt sorry for him when the camera lingered on his expressions. Hey, not too sorry for him, though - he won by a mile and got to hold up the blue glass trophy at the end, much to the concealed envy of myself and fellow losers, pop legend Sandie Shaw and Canadian comedian Stewart Francis. The technique clearly works. Some backstage gossip? I can tell you that David Gest, the self-promoting promoter, was due to appear on this edition but fell ill the night before. Stewart Francis, who'd already appeared in the chair for a Children in Need special, was on the subs' bench and got the emergency call at midnight. With this in mind, he did brilliantly, especially on his specialist subject of the Toronto Blue Jays, some sports team or other. As for my specialist subject, 1970s disaster movies, I was, I must admit, caught out by a couple of the questions. I'd been given a list of the films the question-setters considered part of the canon, so it wasn't that I didn't know to revise David Cronenberg's Scanners or The Andromeda Strain - neither of which is a traditional disaster movie, but can arguably be categorised that way - I just guessed that the more obvious titles would dominate. This was an error. I got a question wrong about The Medusa Touch - another left-field choice - but only because I called up the name of the director when the name of the novelist was required. Jack Gold, I said; Peter Van Greenaway, I should have said. I'm happy to have come second, and to have scored a respectable eight for disaster movies (although I will be kicking myself in my grave for saying The Towering Inferno to a question whose answer was The Poseidon Adventure, my favourite film of all time). Inspector Barnaby deserved the trophy. And even if I'd said Peter Van Greenaway - or, indeed, Everest in the general knowledge round rather than the incorrect Snowdon - I still wouldn't have caught him up. And yes, Sandie Shaw is as eccentric in real life as she appeared on the telly. And no, I was not distracted by her long legs and short skirt, as some unkind people suggested on Twitter. In the heat of the studio lights, waiting to go on, you wouldn't notice if the person sitting next to you had three legs, I promise you. Like this? Share it.

Health experts welcomed today's report but unions said the "NHS privatisation programme is still on track".
Chris Ham, chief executive of the King's Fund, said the recommendations would "significantly improve" the Health and Social Care Bill.
"The emphasis on integration is particularly significant and addresses a key weakness in the Government's original proposals.
"The 'pause' has served the NHS, its staff and patients well by allowing time to reflect on how to deliver the reforms the health system needs. But it is now time to move on.
"The Government must now move quickly to endorse today's report, put an end to the disagreements that have dominated recent months and provide the direction and stability the NHS desperately needs to navigate the challenging times ahead.
"Despite the headlines generated by the reforms, the key priority facing the NHS remains the need to find up to £20 billion in productivity improvements to maintain quality and avoid significant cuts in services.
"Implementing the reforms while maintaining the focus needed to achieve this will be very challenging and will require leadership and management of the highest quality throughout the NHS.'
Unite national officer for health, Rachael Maskell said the Bill should be scrapped.
She added: "The problem with Monitor is that it will now promote choice, competition and collaboration - all of which are contradictory aims.
"The hybrid mess that Monitor will become will do to the NHS what other botched regulatory bodies have done to other public services - from rail to social care.
"Unless patient care comes first, then Monitor will fail patients - and our politicians will have failed them too."
She added: ""The way that David Cameron and Health Secretary Andrew Lansley will interpret the Future Forum's recommendations is that the pace of the privatisation of the NHS will be slowed down, but not abandoned - that's the crux."
Dave Prentis, general secretary of Unison, said: "Really big questions over critical issues such as privatisation remain unanswered: just how will the Government prevent "cherry-picking"?
"And why are there no limits on the amount and range of services that can be privatised?
"The Forum is recommending sweeping changes to the Bill because it is riddled with flaws.
"It exposes the real agenda behind the Government's Bill - the wholesale marketisation of the NHS.
"It wants to turn our health service into nothing more than a logo on the side of a van run by a multinational company."
Dr Peter Carter, chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said: "We are pleased that the NHS Future Forum has used the 'pause' period to listen and reflect on the concerns that the public and professionals have over the future of the NHS.
"We welcome the report's findings that Monitor must support the integration of care and that care must not become of secondary importance to cost.
"Equally, we fully support the report's conclusions regarding the importance of transparency within the new commissioning consortia as well as the recommendation that private firms must not be allowed to 'cherry pick' services.
"However, it is disappointing that the Future Forum appears not to have accepted the view of thousands of our members, who are calling for a mandatory requirement for nurses to sit on the board of every commissioning consortia."
The Royal College of Physicians' president, Sir Richard Thompson, said: "We urge the Government to grasp the opportunity to give hospital doctors a mandated place on the board of local commissioning bodies to guarantee integration of primary and secondary care.
"To encourage this, the RCP also wants GPs to sit on the boards of foundation trusts. In this way all doctors will work together to lead a health service in the best interests of patients.
"The recommendation that Monitor's role should be altered from promoting competition to promoting collaboration and integration is a step in the right direction. The Health and Social Care Bill must clearly state that the primary focus of regulation is promoting integration, collaboration and quality - not promoting competition."
Dr Jennifer Dixon, director of the Nuffield Trust, said: "On balance, the report forms a good basis for taking the Bill forward.
"There will be a temptation among some to prolong the debate in the hope of further concessions but the time has come to amend the Bill, and move on.
"Political focus needs to shift urgently to the difficult decisions confronting the NHS.
"Further uncertainty would likely have a demoralising effect on clinicians and managers, and make the already difficult job of achieving unprecedented efficiency savings even harder."
Professor Peter Furness, president of the Royal College of Pathologists, said: "Market forces only work if the buyer can measure the quality of the product.
"GP leaders have confirmed our view that GPs cannot be expected to assess the quality of diagnostic services beyond their speed and price, so we welcome the requirement for multi-professional commissioning.
"But we wait to see how this will be implemented. There must be appropriate multi-professional input that has 'clout'.
"We fear that commercial companies will offer only commoner diagnostic tests, thus destabilising the NHS provision of tests for rare disorders and limiting the availability of specialist advice. It's good to hear that 'cherry-picking' will be prohibited. But how? Will it work?"
Mike Farrar, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, said: "This report makes big strides in the right direction and has a real chance of getting NHS reform on the right path.
"The Forum has run an exemplary process and we are delighted that it has taken the lion's share of our recommendations on board.
"It suggests clarity about who is accountable for what, as opposed to confusion for patients and the public.
"It suggests an intelligent approach to integration and competition, not a one-size-fits-all system that risks fragmenting services.
"It suggests a realistic timetable for transition, not a rushed approach that risks some parts of the NHS losing control of finances.
"We are now calling on the Government and Parliament to deliver such changes and urgently provide the NHS with the legislative framework needed to make these ideas workable in practice."
Dr Hamish Meldrum, head of the British Medical Association (BMA), said: "The way the Government and the Future Forum have engaged with the profession during this listening exercise has been a refreshing experience. It is vital that this constructive approach is maintained in the following months as the detail is worked on.
"The Future Forum's recommendations address many of the BMA's key concerns, to a greater or lesser extent.
"We are hopeful that our 'missing' concerns, such as the excessive power of the NHS Commissioning Board over consortia and the so called 'quality premium' will be addressed as more detail emerges.
"While we welcome the acknowledgement that the education and training reforms need much more thinking through, there needs to be immediate action to prevent the imminent implosion of deaneries.
"Obviously, the critical factor is now how the Government responds, as well as ensuring that the detail of the changes matches up to expectations.
"But if the Government does accept the recommendations we have heard today we will be seeing, at the least, a dramatically different Health and Social Care Bill and one that would get us onto a much better track."
Dr Clare Gerada, chair of the Royal College of GPs, said: "We are reassured that things are moving in the right direction; the emphasis on preserving the principles of the NHS and keeping it free at the point of need; freeing the NHS from political interference; clinical commissioning of local services led by GPs; and the real focus on reducing health inequalities are to be welcomed.
"We are encouraged by the Forum's recommendations for the future role of Monitor in relation to competition, and the report's insistence that private providers should not be allowed to 'cherry pick' patients.
"But we still have a number of outstanding concerns about the potential risks and unexpected consequences of the proposals.
"We need the Government to reassure us that GPs will be given the freedom and autonomy to lead the decision-making and design of future integrated health systems drawing on the support of other health, social care and third sector services.
"We support clinician-led commissioning but continue to believe that GPs are best placed to lead this process."
TUC general secretary, Brendan Barber, said: "This report sets out to reassure those who have been so critical of the Health and Social Care Bill and of the immense changes it is seeking to bring to the NHS.
"But whilst well-meaning, any attempt to bring clarity to what started out as a fundamentally flawed Bill was always going to be difficult. We are still left with a dog's dinner of a Bill.
"Downplaying competition in Monitor's remit is all well and good in theory, but the unenviable task of attempting to balance this with choice and collaboration in practice is still likely to mean that it is patients, particularly the most vulnerable, who will end up losing out."
Susan Anderson, CBI director of public services, said: "The healthcare system is in urgent need of reform and the Health and Social Care Bill is crucial to ensuring the NHS is well placed to meet the challenges of the future.
"These include an ageing population and greater demand from patients with long-term and chronic conditions.
"The report rightly recognises that the best way of delivering the high-quality services that the public expects is by allowing a diverse mix of qualified providers to deliver services, including from the private, voluntary and third sectors.
"Greater competition should also go hand in hand with further integration of services to ensure they better meet the needs of individual patients."

Miss Cinderella Pageant History
In October of 1951 five individuals set out for Arkansas City, Kansas to view the activities at the Ark-a-la-la celebration. Glen Hendricks, a local photographer, Brooks Bicknell of the Alva Review-Courier and general chairman of Homecoming, Rufus Gordon, secretary/manager of the Alva Chamber of Commerce, Art Magnuson, owner of Magnuson Grocery, and Bob Reneau, owner of a jewelry store and Homecoming Committee member made the eventful trip. These men watched the parade and noticed queens representing area towns riding in the parade. Wanting new ideas for Homecoming, they were all in agreement on the journey home that this 'queen business' was something they could incorporate into Homecoming.
Since Bob Reneau owned the jewelry store, he was selected to coordinate the queen show as he could secure gifts at cost. In early 1952, Mr. Reneau sent letters to all area high schools inviting them to participate in this new queen contest. However, the Homecoming Committee was initially quite disappointed as no schools responded to the invitation. Mr. Reneau began telephoning area schools asking them to participate. Eleven schools entered the first "Queen Contest," a new addition to Homecoming activities. Miss Alva won the first contest and some concern was expressed as to how other area schools would view the local girl winning this contest. "It was like asking them to our party and we took home the cake," confided Mr. Reneau. However, this concern quickly diminished as fourteen schools entered the pageant in 1953 and the rest became history. In the late 1950's the "Queen Contest" became the "Miss Cinderella Pageant." Through the tireless support of the pageant and Homecoming, the late Brooks Bicknell became known locally as "Mr. Homecoming."
Over the years, the contestants were given jewelry, pearls, wardrobes, and other such appropriate gifts. In 1963 Mrs. Ellison of Ellison's Shop asked Yvonne Carmichael if she would serve as supervisor of the models. Each contestant modeled the same outfit chosen especially for the pageant. That same year Boyce Pennington from the Speech Department served as Director. Barbara Benefiel followed him, with Yvonne Carmichael serving as Contestant Coordinator during this time. In 1972, Dr. Yvonne Carmichael took over as Director and served in that capacity for 21 years. Elda Jones succeeded her, serving to 1996. Dr. Patti Wilber served as director through 2004. From 2005 to 2007, Lisa Holder co-directed the pageant with Tamara Brown. Brown continued with the pageant and co-directed with Jesse Schroeder until 2009. Schroeder took over as director and served through 2010. In 2011, Dana Roark became co-director with Chesnei Thomas. After two years with Thomas, Roark now co-directs with Dr. Sheila Brintnall.
The pageant has continued since 1952 with the fine tradition established by those five individuals. Since its inception, the contest has provided a means by which outstanding high school girls can compete in a worthwhile pageant for both honors and awards of scholarship. Through the efforts of these individuals, the pageant has grown in size and significance in northwest Oklahoma, and towns along the Kansas and Texas borders.
The winner of the Miss Cinderella title receives eight semesters of tuition and a one-year room waiver at Northwestern-Alva. The first and second runners-up receive six and four semesters of tuition, respectively. The winners of the talent and congeniality titles each receive a one-year room waiver in addition to the one-year tuition scholarship which each contestant receives.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

As evidenced by my post count, I'm new here. Hopefully I'm not asking a question that has been asked numerous times in the past, and I apologize if I am.
I'm using BT2 on a laptop. I have a madwifi NIC and one ethernet NIC.
The madwifi device is in AP mode, and will be called ath1.
The ethernet iface is eth0.
My goal is to spoof SSL over a bridged connection (ath1 -> br0 -> eth0), and apparently the weapon of choice that keeps popping up is Ettercap. I can successfully bridge my connections, and tcpdump shows me that I can snag all the packets coming from clients associated with my AP when it is bridged to my ethernet iface. However, I'd like to handle SSL transactions, which is what Ettercap will be doing.
As a control test, I made sure that Ettercap could negotiate SSL while on a switched network, which it did. I then set Ettercap up to listen first on eth0, then on ath1, each time in unified sniffing mode. I was able to pull packets, but not make the SSL handoff. I read somewhere that bridged sniffing mode does not correctly implement the SSL conversations, but I tried it anyway - no luck. SSL goes through ettercap untouched and still encrypted.
So, to sum up, I can make the SSL handoff when arp poisoning on a switched network, but I can't make it when I'm listening to an interface that's part of a bridge. There must be some way to do that. Any pointers?

This photograph shows the German East African soldiers preparing for war in 1914.
German Colonial collectors should find the following information useful:
The East African Campaign was a series of battles and guerrilla actions which started in German East Africa and ultimately affected portions of Mozambique, Northern Rhodesia, British East Africa, Uganda and the Belgian Congo. The campaign was effectively ended in November 1917. However, the Germans entered Portuguese East Africa and continued the campaign living off Portuguese supplies.
The strategy of the German colonial forces, led by Lieutenant Colonel (later Generalmajor) Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, was to drain and divert forces from the Western Front to Africa. His strategy failed to achieve these results after 1916, as mainly Indian and South African forces, which were prevented by colonial policy from deploying to Europe, conducted the rest of the campaign.
Nevertheless, the Germans fought for the whole of World War I, receiving word of the Armistice on 14 November 1918 at 7:30 a.m. Both sides waited for confirmation, and the Germans formally surrendered on 25 November. German East Africa ultimately became two League of Nations Class B Mandates, Tanganyika Territory of the United Kingdom and Ruanda-Urundi of Belgium, while the Kionga Triangle became a mandate of Portugal.

|Other information
|Kate Torney (CEO)[3]
The State Library of Victoria is the central library of the state of Victoria, Australia, located in Melbourne. It is on the block bounded by Swanston, La Trobe, Russell, and Little Lonsdale streets, in the northern centre of the central business district. The library holds over 2 million books and 16,000 serials, including the diaries of the city's founders, John Batman and John Pascoe Fawkner, and the folios of Captain James Cook, R.N.. It also houses the original armour of Ned Kelly.

In 1853, the decision to build a state library was made at the instigation of Lieutenant-Governor Charles La Trobe and Mr Justice Redmond Barry, Q.C. (Sir Redmond from 1860). A competition was held to decide who would design the new building; local architect Joseph Reed, who later designed the Melbourne Town Hall, Ormond College and the Royal Exhibition Building, won the commission.
On 3 July 1854, the recently inaugurated Governor Sir Charles Hotham laid the foundation stone of both the new library and the University of Melbourne. The library opened in 1856, with a collection of 3,800 books chosen by Mr Justice Barry, the President of Trustees. Augustus H. Tulk, the first librarian, was appointed three months after the opening.
The first reading room was the Queen's Reading Room (now Queen's Hall), which opened in 1859. Temporary buildings built in 1866 for the Intercolonial Exhibition remained in use by the library until 1909, when work began on a new annexe building to mark the library's Jubilee. This new building was the landmark Domed Reading Room, which opened in 1913 and was designed by Norman G. Peebles.
Plans for the original annexe were scaled back due to the money running out and the annexe, to house a new museum were gradually built during the Interwar years in an austere stripped classical style.
The reading dome's original skylights were modified and covered in copper sheets in 1959 due to water leakage.
The library complex also held the State's Gallery and Museum until the National Gallery of Victoria moved to St Kilda Road in the late 1960s, and the current Melbourne Museum was built in the Carlton Gardens in the 1990s.
The library underwent major refurbishments between 1990 and 2004, designed by architects Ancher Mortlock & Woolley. The project cost approximately A$200 million. The reading room closed in 1999 to allow for renovation, during which natural light was returned. The renamed La Trobe Reading Room reopened in 2003.
The redevelopment included the construction of a number of exhibition spaces which are used to house the permanent exhibitions The Mirror of the World: Books and Ideas and The Changing Face of Victoria as well as a display from the Pictures Collection in the Cowen Gallery. As a result of the redevelopment, the State Library of Victoria can now be considered one of the largest exhibiting libraries in the world.
In February 2010, the southern wing of the library on Little Lonsdale Street was reopened as the Wheeler Centre, part of Melbourne's city of literature initiative.
On 29 April 2015 the Minister for Creative Industries Martin Foley announced that the 2015–16 State Budget would provide $55.4 million towards the redevelopment of the State Library of Victoria, including the restoration of the Queen's Hall, the creation of a rooftop garden terrace, a dedicated children's and youth space, and the opening up 40 percent more of the building to the public.[5]
Front lawn, forecourt and statues[edit]
The grassy lawn in front of the library's grand entrance on Swanston Street is a popular lunch-spot for the city's workers and students at the adjacent RMIT University. Originally enclosed by a picket fence, then by a wrought iron fence and gates in the 1870s, the space was opened with the removal of the fence in 1939.
A number of statues are in the entrance area. A pair of bronze lions graced the park from the 1860s until 1937. There are statues of Mr Justice Sir Redmond Barry, Q.C., designed by James Gilbert and built by Percival Ball, installed in 1887; Saint George and the Dragon, by the English sculptor Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm, installed in 1889; Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc), a replica of the statue by French sculptor Emmanuel Frémiet, installed in 1907; and Charles La Trobe, by Australian sculptor Peter Corlett, installed in 2006.
On Sundays between 2:30 pm and 5:30 pm, a speakers' forum takes place on the library forecourt, where orators take turns in speaking on various subjects.
Reading Rooms[edit]
The Dome[edit]
The landmark Domed Reading Room, which opened in 1913 and was designed by Norman G. Peebles. Its octagonal space was designed to hold over a million books and up to 600 readers. It is 34.75 m in both diameter and height, and its oculus is nearly 5 m wide. The dome was the largest of its type in the world on completion.[6]
In 1965, the La Trobe Building annex was opened to house the Library's Australiana collection, which has since moved to the La Trobe Reading Room.
Chess Reading Room[edit]
The library has a chess room that houses a wide range of materials dedicated to the history, study and practice of chess. It contains a collection of items from the Anderson Chess Collection, one of the three largest public chess collections in the world. In addition to bookshelves containing an extensive range of books and periodicals relating to chess, the room has game tables with chessboards and pieces, and a few glass cabinets containing historical chess paraphernalia. The room is a multi-purpose room intended also for reading and studying.
Redmond Barry Reading Room[edit]
This place is located at the eastern end of the Library. Houses contemporary collection of books, magazines, and periodicals. The centre of the room has internet enabled computers and shared desks. The mezzanine has folio-size books and more independent study desks. The ceiling has glass panels. The reading room is easily the busiest room during pre-exam period in Victoria.
Heritage Collections Reading Room[edit]
Entry to the room is by appointment. The room itself does not hold any collections, rather it is a place to view heritage collection materials. There are 14 historical pendant lamps hanging off the ceiling and a detailed ceramic embossed wall and ceiling. Map bags are the only collection of materials held in HCRR and consist of copies of maps of metropolitan Melbourne between the 1800s to 1900s and no appointment is required to see them.
Arts Collection Reading Room[edit]
The library maintains an extensive, world-class collection of books, periodicals, recordings and other materials pertaining to art, music and the performing arts. The room is built in a courtyard hence the angular shape of the room. The main room includes computer workstations which provide access to the Library's catalogue, databases and the web, reading tables, laser printer, photocopier and a microfiche reader. It also has an audio visual room and listening posts.
Genealogy Reading Room[edit]
Located in one of the courtyards, the room has extensive collection of microfilms and microfiche, printed references, databases, and biographies. There are many facilities available such as computers and a laser printer.
Newspaper Reading Room[edit]
Located in one of the courtyards, the room holds microfilm of Victorian, interstate, and some international newspapers. There are modern microfilm and scanner readers enabling patrons to save images of newspapers to USB memory stick. Also, three months' worth of physical copies of Victorian newspapers are kept in the room. There are facilities in this room to help with research.
La Trobe Journal[edit]
Founded by the Friends of the State Library of Victoria in 1968 to promote interest in the Library's Australiana collection, in 1998, the State Library of Victoria Foundation became the sponsor of the journal, enabling the publication to expand considerably. As of 2013[update] it is published twice a year in Autumn and Spring.[7]
Many of the library's electronic databases are available from home to any Victorian registered as a State Library User. Databases include the full Encyclopædia Britannica; Oxford Reference dictionaries and encyclopaedias; multi-subject magazine and journal article databases; newspaper archives of most major Australian and international papers from 2000 onwards; and specialist subject databases.
The library's collection includes 2,000 rolls of film containing photographs of Melbourne and country Victoria from the early 1970s. These 70,000 photographs are in the process of being digitized and made available to the public.[8]
The State Library of Victoria provides education programmes for community and schools, conferences such as Reading Matters and library research fellowships. The library is home to the Centre for Youth Literature and the Inside a dog young adult fiction community.[9][10] From 1994-2014 it managed the Vicnet community internet service.[11]
In popular culture[edit]
The exterior of the library is prominently featured at the conclusion of the post-World War III movie On the Beach.

Manhunter 2 first banned game in UK in 10 years
View Single Post
June 22nd, 2007, 16:26
It's not censorship. It's called "drawing the line." What if a game came out where the object was to kill babies or rape little children? Should that be allowed? There has to be a line drawn somewhere as to what should be allowed and what shouldn't. And don't mention movies. You don't control the action in a movie. You simply watch.
To be honest, I simply don't get the fascination with gore in games OR movies. It adds absolutely nothing to gameplay. Like when Sacred first game out. The US version had gore removed. People were bitching. I have both versions. I will admit there was no reason to remove the gore because it WAS minor, but at the same time I saw no reason for it to be in the game to begin with. It did nothing as far as gameplay, which is all I care about. And the scariest movies I ever saw did not show the actual killing. It left it up to your imagination.
What they should have done was told Rockstar to tone down the gore in order for them to allow the game. If Rockstar refused, then ban it. That's my opinion anyways.

Gator freshman right-side/setter Kelly Murphy was named the Southeastern Conference's Offensive Player of the Week and the league's Freshman of the Week, becoming just the second player in league history to earn those two honors in the same week, the league announced Monday. Murphy earned the honors after helping the Gators (10-1, 4-0 SEC) to wins against Arkansas and Ole Miss in the first SEC road weekend of her collegiate career. On the weekend, she led the Gators with a .438 hitting percentage and was second on the team in kills per set (4.00/set) and assists per set (6.71/set). She also was second on the team in points with 30.5 total points and third on the squad in digs with 2.71 scoops per set. Murphy, who has posted a team-leading six double-doubles this season, became just the second player in Florida school history (former All-America setter Angie McGinnis was the other) to record a triple-double when she tallied the fifth triple-double in school history on Friday night in a 3-0 win against Arkansas. She finished that match with a career-high 15 kills on .619 hitting with 18 assists and a career-high 10 digs. Murphy becomes the first freshman in school history to chart a triple-double. Murphy came just shy of becoming the first player in school history to record back-to-back triple-doubles, as she was one dig short of accomplishing that feat on Sunday at Ole Miss. She finished that match with 13 kills, a career-high 29 assists and nine digs. Murphy dished out 18 or more assists in both of the weekend's matches.
