Quantum Black LCD Panel with CrystalCoat Contrast Enhancer: The Toshiba UL610U LED-LCD TV employs a Quantum Black LCD Panel for deeper black levels. The CrystalCoat Contrast Enhancer stops ambient room light reflections from washing out the picture, so you can enjoy deeper contrasts during all room light conditions.
CEVO Engine: Toshiba's CEVO Engine takes 3D home entertainment to a whole new level through the combination of three key 3D technologies: TriVector 2D to 3D Conversion, 3D Resolution+, & 3D Cross Talk Canceller.
ClearScan 480 with Backlight Scanning: ClearScan 480Hz technology harnesses the backlight control and image processing technology of Toshiba's proprietary CEVO engine. The result is a smooth and crystal-clear motion video performance with no image distortion or loss in image brightness. ClearScan 480 combines 120 frames-per-second (fps) with the TV's backlight scanning system to create a 480Hz Effect. This LED-LCD TV with ClearScan 480 creates a new level of picture clarity with motion video.
Edge LED Backlight: The Toshiba UL610U TV utilizes LED edge-backlighting for a clear, crisper image with better contrast and color. You will experience a superior picture and higher contrast ratio with Edge LED backlight technology, producing brighter whites and deeper blacks than traditional CCFL backlight LCD televisions. Edge LED Backlight technology, also allows televisions to be slimmer, brighter, and more energy efficient.
Fine Local Dimming: Fine Local Dimming allows the LED backlight to be adjusted for a more cinematic viewing experience. Fine Local Dimming provides control over different groups of LEDs, allowing for precise & accurate dimming control for deeper images. Fine Local Dimming separates the display into distinct LED lighting zones, each of which can be controlled & adjusted by the intelligent CEVO engine. The result is superior contrast & image detail, especially in darker scenes or programming.
DynaLight Backlight Control: DynaLight Backlighting Control automatically adjusts the backlight intensity based on the image content. It constantly monitors the brightness level of each video frame, even in low light settings. As a result, you see increased detail and greater depth of images
HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals.
1080p Resolution: Some video content is in high-definition (HD), but some is still in standard-definition (SD). The Toshiba LED-LCD HDTV will upconvert and enhance 480i, 480p, & even 720p content to create a sharper, more detailed picture (up to 1080p). As a result, all of your standard DVDs, SD TV channels, camcorder videos, and even SD video games will look like HD. The Toshiba LED-LCD TV will display all inputs at a resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080).
Video Inputs: The Toshiba UL610U TV provides High Definition (HDMI/component) and Standard Definition (composite) video inputs.

A 2D or 3D signal can be viewed as 2D (two-dimensional) or 3D (three-dimensional). If the TV detects the fact that a video signal is 3D, it can automatically switch to 3D mode. The 3D-ready TV includes three display modes and supports three 3D formats.
Note: Viewing 3D programming requires the following - compatible Toshiba 3D active glasses (2 pair included), compatible 3D playback device (such as the 052BDX3000, sold separately) with 3D content, & 3D capable high-speed HDMI (v1.4) cable.

The right & left liquid-crystal shutter opens & closes alternately with the images for the left eye & for the right eye alternately projected on the television screen. In this way, 3D images are reproduced. The Toshiba 3D glasses operate off of integrated rechargeable batteries. The battery's life is approximately 23 hours. It takes approximately 2 hours to charge the battery from the USB port on the TV, via the included USB charging cable.

'Top Chef' Shuffle: Dave Martin Leaves Crave on 42nd
And Spike Mendelsohn's replacement has been named at Mai House.By Daniel Maurer
And Spike Mendelsohn's replacement has been named at Mai House.By Daniel Maurer
And Lisa and Antonia are lovers. JK!
Is Lisa Fernandes all bad? Maybe.
Lisa Fernandes is trying to clear her name.
Moving among the culinary A-list, for a night.
We interview a chef who made it to the finals, but not to the top.
Faded photographs … covered now with lines and creases …
In an interview, Lisa Fernandes of 'Top Chef' doubts the spending power of blog readers.
Plus Lisa's peanut-butter mashed potatoes from 'Top Chef' end up on a menu, there are some good wine books to buy for Dad, and more, in our morning digest of news and gossip.
But he doesn't understand how Lisa made it past Dale, either.
After a poor performance, our least-favorite chef hangs on to torture us.
The final four chefs prepare for their trip to Puerto Rico, but does anyone even care anymore?
Dale and Lisa's tango of hatred truly terrified us on this week's 'Top Chef.'
Spike of 'Top Chef' is out at Mai House, and the rumor mill quickly replaces him with another cheftestant.

UCCC - Be there!
The folks here at Be The Straw have had the great honor and blessing to have been involved with UCCC since its inception - we're official friends of UCCC, doncha know? This year, we're coming back and joining in the festivities yet again with all of you lovely college and university students - and any older/wiser young adult friends who might be participating.
If you are going, come stop by our booth during the Sunday lunchtime exhibition - check out some of our new products, grab some free stickers, network with us for some collaboration opportunities.
If you aren't going, why not? Register here: http://uccatholics.com/register/
Also, check out our workshop Sunday afternoon:
The Instagramming of the Loaves and FishesCollege students have a fascinating relationship with food. Sometimes we're surviving on instant ramen and free pizza, while on the other hand many of our young people are immersed in the foodie culture. So what better way to evangelize others but through food. I mean, Jesus did it. Why not us? In this talk we will explore the intersection between Faith and Food - we'll be discussing everything from Yelp!, to instagramming your food, to the psychology of fast food, and most especially, the source and summit of the faith, the Eucharist. We can't offer you free pizza for coming to this session, but we will have some food for you to taste.Did I mention there will be free food to taste??

Nunc Cœpi
As a fan of both the San Diego Super Chargers and the faith of Philip Rivers, I firmly believe I know what he was thinking: Nunc Cœpi.
The latin phrase Nunc Cœpi means "Now I begin." It was a favorite phrase of the founder of Opus Dei, St. Josemaria Escriva, and it seems that Philip has adopted it as a personal motto:
I felt so strongly about this phrase, we adopted it as a team, and had it on t-shirts and on the walls throughout our practice facility.How did I find out about Rivers' fascination with this phrase? Well, last year, Rivers was invited to give the Commencement address at the Catholic University of America, and he shared with all present his thoughts about this phrase.

Ferris State (7-4; 1-1 GLIAC) stormed out winning the first two sets before Wayne State (5-5; 0-2 GLIAC) forced a deciding fifth set by winning the next two sets.
The Bulldogs, who hit .429 in the fifth set to the Warriors' .120 percentage, broke a 4-4 tie early in the set and led the rest of the way. The deciding set, which featured four ties and two lead changes, saw FSU outscore the hosts 8-3 during one stretch to take a 12-7 lead as the Bulldogs would never look back en route to the 2008 squad's initial conference win.
Ferris State received a solid performance from the trio of junior middle hitter Kristy Gilchrist (Macomb/Anchor Bay), junior outside hitter Katie Edwards (Cedar Springs), and sophomore middle hitter Arielle Goodson (Grand Rapids/Central). Gilchrist slammed a match-high 18 kills for a .500 hitting percentage to go with three block assists while Edwards registered 17 kills and Goodson generated 11 kills.
Senior setter-outside hitter Andrea Rich (New Baltimore/Anchor Bay) dished out a match-high 45 assists and was one of four Bulldogs to reach double figures in digs. She also served a career-high six aces in the contest as FSU totaled 13 as a team.
Redshirt freshman libero Lisa Tobiczyk (Marysville) paved the way defensively for Ferris State with a match-leading 20 digs. Freshman outside hitter Ashley Huntey (Stanwood/Morley-Stanwood) contributed a season-best 17 digs and sophomore defensive specialist Dana Ruttle (Reed City) added a career-high 11 digs.
The Bulldogs hit at a .162 clip for the match while the Warriors turned in a .171 attack percentage. FSU held a 65-to-50 advantage in kills and 74-to-66 in digs. Both teams racked up seven total team blocks apiece.

LionArt saidthis is a great idea!
Envato should definitely implement what kailoon said a while ago… have a favouriting system and list how many favourites the items has e.g.
"40 sales, 20 favourites"
This would give off a positive effect to the sales without giving 'clients from hell' to ruin the reputation of the item by rating it lowly.no more confusion for ratings
+1 for me too

Bradley-Campbell presser!
By Francisco Salazar

Click the photo to go to the next photo
Although a world title will be on the line, it is the fighters who are garnering most of the attention. Most members of the media, and fight fans, seem to be paying more attention to the fighters in a bout that could be a candidate for fight of the year. Timothy Bradley defends his version of the 140 pound title when he squares off against former world champion Nate Campbell at the Agua Caliente Casino Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage, CA. The bout, which takes place on Saturday, August 1st, will be televised on Showtime. Gary Shaw Productions and Thompson Boxing Promotions will promote the card.
For the undefeated Bradley, it will a homecoming of sorts as he his born and raised in the Coachella Valley area of Southern California. The fight card will take place only minutes from hometown of Palm Springs. While some fighters tend to not fight to their potential against top contenders or champions because they are fighting in or near their hometown, Bradley believes it will not be a problem for him.
"I believe I can do anything if I can go to England and beat Junior Witter," said Bradley at a press conference at the Langham Huntington Hotel & Spa in Pasadena, CA. "I want a challenge for this fight and I know that Nate will give me that. I think that he is an under rated fighter."
Campbell, who admits admiring and respecting Bradley for the way he carries himself inside and outside the ring, agrees that this fight is more for boxing fans than for a world title.
"I'm at the point in my career where I have to fight," said Campbell, who enters this fight on a five-fight winning streak. "No one wanted to touch me when I had the three world titles as a lightweight. I just want to fight. I'm still a blue-collar guy who loves to fight."
Promoter Gary Shaw pointed out that the fight was able to be made because both fighters wanted to fight and were willing to accept conditions to make the fight happen. Although Bradley could have taken an "easier" fight, Shaw pointed out that Bradley wanted a strong challenge in his hometown.
"These are two fighter who re willing to fight anybody. These are two fighters who were willing to fight anywhere. I commend Nate for coming into Bradley's backyard." Shaw added, "Timothy wants to fight the best in the world. And that is Nate. There are three top fighters in the 140-pound division. That is Timothy, Nate, and Manny Pacquiao."
Shaw also announced that the co-main event will be Junior Witter and Devon Alexander for a vacant world title that Bradley once held. Bradley gave up the title because he felt that Alexander was not a worthy challenger and because a Campbell fight was more attractive.
"That is just how the politics of boxing go," explained Shaw, of the WBC demanding that Bradley defend against Alexander before Bradley relinquished the title. "Timothy winning the title against Junior Witter and being forced to defend against Devon. Now Junior and Devon will fight for the title. I will not be surprised if the winners of both bouts call each other out."
Nonetheless, the Coachella Valley, which has produced quality fighters in brothers Antonio and Julio Diaz and now Timothy Bradley, will enjoy a great night of boxing headlined by Bradley himself.
"This is the fight of the century for the Coachella Valley," said promoter Ken Thompson. "Timothy is a home-grown fighter who is coming back to fight in his hometown. The Coachella Valley has been waiting to see a fantastic fight card."
Thompson Boxing Promotions General Manager and matchmaker Alex Camponovo summed it up best in describing both fighters and what will happen on Saturday, August 1st.
"Both fighters did not have to take the fight. But, both fighters want to fight the best. Timothy wants to be a legend and to do that, he has to go in there with a great fighter in Nate. This will be a great fight on August 1st"

Making this post was probably one of the funniest thing I've done in last few hours. Every time I found one of these images, I would just start laughing like crazy. These are some really absurd photoshop disasters and I just can't believe that these were approved to be published.
I don't even have words the describe some of these. I just have to look these yourself. I hope you have fun as much as I did. These were mostly found at MakeFive.com and at amazing PhotoshopDisasters. Cheers! ;)
Other clothes?
Geez, where's that guy's head?
Beyonce's 3rd arm.
That's a new species for sure.
Someone forgot to photoshop those reflections.
Because water is not transparent.
Chubby shadow.
Hmmm... that's hot.... oh, wait.
OMG! That guy is a freaking vampire! :O
And yeah. That's one hell of an art director.
That guy is all hands...
That's just bad.
Something's wrong...

retractable hardtop
Hi guys,
As some of you who have read my posts before already know, I am building a chopped and dropped '54 Chevy Bel Air. It is a 4dr sedan, but will soon be a 2dr and part of the plan is a retractable hardtop for the car.
The reason for not starting with an original convertible or hardtop is cost. I knew I was going to be making major body modifications anyway (4dr to 2dr conversion being the least of my concerns)and the 4dr was the most cost effective starting point. Here in South Africa the only way to get a hardtop or convertible would have been to import one from the U.S. but the 4dr sedans were manufactured here.
The engineering involved doesn't put me off, I already have some working drawings and CAD models of the mechanism. All the major components will be CNC machined and/or fabricated from scratch. I feel confident I can handle it but does anyone know of others who have built a retractable hardtop?
Anyone with thoughts or advice please comment.
Rich Lackey
Pretty ambitious Rich, that would be a tough mod. Have you looked at the fifties Ford retractable? Forget the screw jacks and all the micro switches and relays that Ford used, that was a friggin nightmare. But the mecanical part of it seems like a way to go. The roof will have to split in the middle as they did, that is actually the hardest part I would think. You need to decide to make that an "automatic" movement or just let the roof go up and back and you can manually fold that part.
Hi Brian,
I've been looking at the fifties Fords, as well as some brand new Mercedes and BMW retractable prototypes and concept cars.
It seems not much has changed in terms of the basic mechanics necessary to fold up a steel roof into a trunk sized space, although I have found a few different ways to do it.
The main thing that has changed it seems is the control technology, actuators and electronics, and this is a good thing as it should make the whole thing a lot easier for me to wire up now than it was fifty years ago.
The major difference between the Fords and my Chevy is the relative size difference between the roof and trunk. The Fords had huge trunks, not much shorter than the whole roof itself.
I have what is effectively a 220mm long roof to squeeze into 100mm of corresponding trunk space, which means three sections to the roof not just two.
The other challenge for me is the width of the roof compared to the width of the trunk opening, but I overcame this by designing a mechanism that tilts the folded roof into the smaller opening along the logitudinal axis, bringing it down level once one side of the roof is tucked in under the trunk opening.
Obviously the trunk hinges open from the back not the front, and the trunk lid extends all the way to where it meets the glass. Other modifications will be a big fat X member to strengthen the chassis.
I am trying to get some dimensions together for the conversion to 2 doors, specifically the length of the original doors for the '54 convertible and hardtop. Any idea where I would find this?
Any more input you have would be great!

Hi, Guys and Girls,
I'm new here. Not new to weapons and CCW, because I really am old compared to most of you, however, I'm a lefty, looking for a safe, compact 9mm pistol (I like to have everything in the same caliber for reloading) for both myself and my wife, for home safety. I'm a lefty, she's a righty. What are your recommendations for an ambidextrous handgun of the 9mm variety?
Thanks, in advance for your help and wisdom.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Hardcover 152 pages 13 figures 1 table 6 x 9 inches Index
Publication Date: Jan. 1, 1990
Publisher: Independent Institute
Educators: Request exam copy
In 1971, Paul Craig Roberts created a firestorm among professional Sovietologists by proclaiming that the economies of the USSR and its East Bloc allies were doomed because their planned economies were, in reality, anything but planned. Expanding on his original ideas, Roberts demonstrates in this book the fatal shortcomings of Marxist economies, ranging from misallocation of resources to ersatz capitalistic concepts grafted onto a system that calls for production without regard to profit. Roberts argues that the economies of the nations emerging from the USSRs collapse must grasp the profound truths in this book if they are to become viable.
Table of Contents
We live in momentous times. As the Soviet empire collapses before our eyes, perhaps still more stunning is the spectacle of formerly Marxist nations jettisoning central planning and embracing the market. It leaves many Western academics, who sympathized with the Marxist creed or apologized for socialist experiments, looking ridiculous.
One scholar, however, stands out as a notable exception. He is Paul Craig Roberts, a Research Fellow at The Independent Institute who today holds is Chairman of the Institute for Political Economy. When his major work, Alienation and the Soviet Economy, first appeared in 1971 it was virtually ignored or dismissed by most professional Sovietologists. Yet the cascade of current events has fully vindicated all its most controversial conclusions about Marxist theory and the Soviet economy.
The Independent Institute is therefore delighted to make this seminal book accessible again to the general public. This new edition of Alienation and the Soviet Economy also features a foreword by Aaron Wildavsky, the late Professor of Political Science of the University of California at Berkeley. In addition to this English edition, a Russian translation has been published in Moscow.
Marxism Versus the Market
Very few books range from high theory to mundane practice as competently as Alienation and the Soviet Economy. This intellectual versatility allows Roberts to demonstrate how economic reality had forced Soviet leaders to permanently retreat from pure Marxism prior even to World War II.
For Karl Marx, the fundamental evil that socialism would eradicate was neither capitalism nor private property but commodity exchange itself. Marx felt that trading on the market, in and of itself, alienated workers from their labor. The separation between producer and user bridged only by the cash nexus, Roberts writes, is the source of all the specific economic ills . . . attributed by Marx to capitalism.Marx looked forward to the abolition of all monetary exchange, indeed all markets-in consumption as well as productionand their replacement with a central plan that would turn the entire economy into one big, happy household.
Lenin and the Bolsheviks tried to impose this theoretical blueprint on Russia after seizing power in 1917. In one drastic leap into socialism, they outlawed all trade, all hiring of labor, all leasing of land, all private enterprisein short, literally all voluntary exchange. The results were catastrophic. Production plummeted as Russia faced starvation, destruction, and death.
By 1921, Lenin found himself compelled to initiate what he called the New Economic Policy (NEP): a complete reversion to market exchange. The years before the NEP have gone down in history as War Communism. As the label implies, historians have tried to pawn off the excesses of this early period as mere expedients, forced upon the Bolsheviks by the cruel necessities of waging a grueling civil war against so many counter-revolutionary foes.
Alienation and the Soviet Economy, however, irrefragably demonstrates that Lenin and the other Bolsheviks looked upon War Communism not as some temporary expedient, but as a deliberate and calculated effort to put Marxist ideals into immediate practice. They realized that the NEP represented a serious ideological retreat. Roberts quotes Lenin as openly conceding that the direct transition to purely socialist forms, to purely socialist distribution, was beyond our available strength. In other words, Ludwig von Misess classic argument that socialism was an economic impossibility had already received dramatic empirical substantiation by 1921.
Not until 1927 had Russian economic recovery gone on long enough for Stalin to dare another leap into socialism. Under the first Five-Year Plan, land and industry were brutally collectivized. Thus, as Kenneth Boulding has pointed out, Robertss scholarly contributions show that Marx leads much more directly to Stalin and the Gulag Archipelago than the more tender-minded Marxists have believed. Nonetheless, despite Stalin s monstrous crimes, he was far too shrewd to contemplate another abolition of money. Unlike Lenin under War Communism, Stalin permitted the use of the ruble not only for accounting but for wages and other actual payments.
In fact, throughout the entire history of all socialist regimes, we can perhaps identify as many as three genuine efforts to adhere strictly to Marx and abolish the market totally: War Communism in Russia, Cuba under Castro during the 1960s, and Cambodia under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Each of these efforts, of course, was an utter disaster. Castro converted Cuba from a Latin American nation with one of the highest per capita incomes to one of the lowest, and little more needs to be said about the horrors of Cambodias Killing Fields.
The Mirage of Central Planning
If these meager three failures represent the only instances of true Marxism, what kind of socialism has held the Soviet empire and China in its grip for all these years? Here again, Alienation and the Soviet Economy is breathtakingly provocative. Roberts contends that none of these economies practice central planning at all. They merely offer an illusion of planning. As Michael Polanyi suggested in 1940, the Soviet Union really has a disguised market economy.
Soviet planners simply ask factory managers and other heads of enterprises what they intend to do, and then order them to do it. The published plans, writes Roberts, appear to be almost entirely derived from what amounts to asking each enterprise its ex ante production plans and negotiating over percentage increases. The individual plans of each enterprise are then handed back to them with instructions to perform them.
The planners consequently have no real control over what happens in the polycentric Soviet economy. The plan is changed so often, Roberts wryly adds, that it is not congruous to say that it controls the development of the economy. There is an alternative possibility that the development of events controls the plan.
Alienation and the Soviet Economy shows that the unacknowledged abandonment of central planning has applied not just to socialist practice but to socialist theory as well. Oskar Lange, in his famous reply to Mises, supposedly showed how central planners could engage in rational economic calculation. Others have cast suspicion on whether Langes so-called market socialism really solves the calculation problem. Roberts however observes that Langes solution, regardless of its feasibility, has nothing to do with central planning. Langes planners are dutiful slaves to resource data and market-based equilibrium equations; they give no more conscious direction to the economy than it already has without them.
Even though what Wildavsky calls the ersatz imitation of capitalism prevailed until recently throughout the Communist world, the imitation was not the real thing. It imposed enormous economic costs. Socialist nations may have to rely upon markets to allocate resources, but upon markets that are hampered, sabotaged, distorted, and subverted. The planners efforts to maintain a mirage of central control creates perverse incentives that misallocate resources on a vast scale.
If the Soviet Union has not a centrally planned economy, writes Roberts, it cannot abandon central planning; what can be abandoned are efforts at central planning. These efforts at central planning have introduced non-market criteria into the role of market criteria. The result has been irrational signals for managerial interpretation, and the irrationality of production in the Soviet Union has been the consequence.
Roberts concludes that the best way to view the Soviet economy is as a polycentric system with signals that are irrational from the standpoint of economic efficiency. Alienation and the Soviet Economy thereby confirms that Mises and Friedrich Hayek were more right than they realized in the socialist calculation debate. Central planning is impossibleliterally. As Wildavsky recommends in his foreword, This is the best book to read on communist political economy for those who think they already know it all.
Professor Roberts explanation of Soviet economic development is timely, and it fills a noticeable void in the existing literature. The book is beneficial reading for experts and non-experts alike who wish to understand the theoretical Marxian framework within which the Soviet economy grew and declined.
ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI, former National Security Advisor
Alienation and the Soviet Economy analyzes the inherent weaknesses of Soviet planning, and has been widely praised by members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
This book of original scholarship, Alienation and the Soviet Economy, exposes the ideological origins of socialist efforts at central planning and confirms that there is no alternative to the market for a modern economy.
OLEG BOGOMOLOV, Director, Institute of Economics, Russian Academy of Sciences; Member, Congress of Peoples Deputies
Paul Craig Roberts, in an almost unique combination of economic expertise and common sense, has devastatingly shown not merely the inherent non-viabilities within the Soviet economy, but also how and why some supposed Western experts thought it was working fairly well.
ROBERT CONQUEST, author of The Great Terror and The Harvest of Sorrow; Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University
The Soviet Union has done the world an immense favor by proving that economic planning cannot work. Professor Roberts has insightfully proved an account of, and intellectual reasoning for, the disaster. What better laboratory could American advocates of government control of economic activity have?
WALTER E. WILLIAMS, Professor of Economics, George Mason University
Unlike any other book of the last twenty years, Alienation and the Soviet Economy reveals why socialism is a failure. Now with the proliferation of works on peristroika, Roberts classic book provides the intellectual bridge between our knowledge of the evils of central planning and the need for a modern market-based economy for the Soviet Union.
YURI B. KOCHEVRIN, Member, Economic Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences
In this closely reasoned volume, Professor Roberts . . . effectively argues that the U.S.S.R. was not a planned economy . . . . Robertss book provides a valuable reinterpretation of the Soviet economy and Soviet history. RUSSIAN REVIEW
Alienation and the Soviet Economy should be used as reading for Soviet economic courses and also it is a must for every library with interests in Soviet affairs. CHOICE
Interesting observations on the functioning of contemporary Soviet and Soviet bloc economies. CANADIAN SLAVONIC PAPERS
Paul Craig Roberts should be read not only in Moscow, where he is, but in Washington. Alienation and the Soviet Economy is indeed a work on target, and Aaron Wildavskys opening is certainly a plus, putting the entire subject in a context readily appreciated by American readers. IRVING LOUIS HOROWITZ, Hannah Arendt Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Political Science, Rutgers University
Alienation and the Soviet Economy provides a clear, forceful interpretation of the Soviet experiment.
The greatest value of Alienation and the Soviet Economy lies in the insistence that studies of the Soviet economy which focus on the process of central planning are detached from reality, and obscure, rather than advance our understanding of the system and its evolution. Fortunately, an increasing amount of research is being devoted to the development of explicitly or implicitly polycentric models of the Soviet economy, based on analyses of individual decision-making behavior. As it progresses, this work will increasingly vindicate Professor Roberts insights into the nature of the system.
The uncritical acceptance by Western observers of the supposed achievements brought about by central planning in the Soviet Union is subjected to a devastating critique in this short but powerful book . . . . Roberts notes that the true primary function of the planning bureaucracy is to direct its activities to overcoming the problems created by its own existence . . . a gem of a book.
Rejecting common interpretations of the Soviet economic system, the author has produced a challenging if controversial book.
The authors ideas are novel and provocative, and his analysis is stimulating.
It is easy to see that Roberts has written an extremely important and provocative book.
In your theory of the polycentric organizational structure of the Soviet economy, you raise my window to the rank of a new significant theorem, and prove in a manner which is a novelty for us how much better a view it gives for the understanding of a Soviet-type economy.
TIBOR LISKA, Budapest, Hungary
This book is appropriate for all levels of readers, including both specialists and non-specialists in the field of Soviet economics. After reading Alienation and the Soviet Economy, one student remarked that Professor Roberts was the first scholar he had ever read who explained the Soviet economy in its own terms, thus clarifying a number of problems which had previously perplexed him. Many established economists, historians, and Marxologists may prove less charitable, for Professor Roberts has defiled a whole herd of sacred cows. Even so, there is enough solid scholarshiop is this small book that its reputation will only profit from the controversy it will provoke.
Alienation and the Soviet Economy is economic analysis in the grand manner. The book is a warning to future generations not to commit crimes in the name of socialismto no purpose. The market rules, and presumably Marxian alienation continues to afflict us all.
Alienation and the Soviet Economy points out with careful analysis that the root problem of the Soviet Union lay precisely in the ideas of Marx.
Alienation and the Soviet Economy deserves renewed attention.
Alienation and the Soviet Economy is a timely and highly prescient book takes on new significance with the collapse of Soviet-style economies throughout the world. It clearly merits the serious attention of a broad spectrum of educators, policymakers and interested laymen, and deserves a place in every respectable academic library and in many public collections as well.
Paul Craig Roberts is Chairman of the Institute for Political Economy and a nationally syndicated columnist.

Guns on UF Campus
The two suspected gunman who sprayed bullets into a crowd at an Ohio fraternity house party Sunday, made their first appearance in court
on Tuesday.
According Youngstown Police Chief Jimmy Hughes, the shots fired by Braylon Rogers, 19, and Columbus Jones, 22, killed a Youngstown State University student, and injured 11 other people.
As college students in Ohio mourn, University of Florida students will try to come together on the issue of guns, and their place on campus.
Guns and campus don't mix, according to Ben Meyers, Student Senate President at the University of Florida.
"We don't want UF to be the next name on that long line of schools where an accident has happened, and the students either disabled, or dead because of it," said Meyers, who is taking a stand against Florida Senate Bill 234, aimed at allowing guns on all college and university campuses in the state.
On Tuesday, student senators will vote on a resolution, if passed, will urge the Legislature to vote against the bill.
However, not all UF students disagree with the gun bill.
"The idea that allowing guns on campus would cause more Virginia Techs is ridiculous, because those shooters had absolutely no concern whether guns were allowed," said Carly Wilson, UF student senator and President of College Republicans.
University Police Chief Linda Stump supports Meyers and the resolution, and will be attending the public senate meeting Tuesday, at 7:30 PM in Room 282 of the Reitz Union.

Jacky Workman - CEJacky lives in Berkshire on the borders of Reading and Wokingham. She is married and has a daughter and son.
Since starting work in 1979, her employment has had a financial aspect to it. Administration at an advertising expenditure company led on to working as a PA for a top producer at a well-known life assurance company. She then moved on to work for a German mortgage company where she pursued her sales and marketing career.
After years of working for an employer and juggling the family and work routine, Jacky decided it was time to move on and set up business working from home. With encouragement and loyalty from her family and friends, she now gets a great deal of satisfaction from the new opportunities that present themselves each day, and more importantly she has the quality time at home with family.
Geraldine Skinner - Sales DirectorGeraldine worked in London as a PA for many years, then in New York for four years and then returned to London working at Bankers Trust and NCR amongst others. Having spent 25 years in the corporate world, mainly working for American companies, where it became quite usual to work for people one never met, she thought there must be some way to work from home in the same way and thus avoiding the dreary commute and the dreaded office politics.
She saw an article about the IAVA in 2001 and decided to call them and see what being a VA was all about. She found a client whose workload was very small and this client put her in touch with a client who needed full time support and thereby was able to finally move over to being a full time VA.
Geraldine is married and lives in Weybridge, Surrey with her gorgeous golden retriever, Henry and no children.

Lauinger Library Begins Special Collections Research Center Renovation
On Monday, March 3, Lauinger Library began a long-anticipated renovation of the Special Collections Research Center.
The first step is to create a temporary location for Special Collections on the first floor of the Library. The planned project will completely renovate the existing fifth-floor Center and add nearly 1,200 square feet of space. The new Center will feature a state-of-the-art, environmentally controlled and secure shelving area and vault; a classroom dedicated specifically to teaching with special collections; an enhanced reading room for researchers; a separate and secure reception area; improved exhibition spaces; and collaborative workspace for faculty, Library staff and students. The project will take approximately one year, with an anticipated reopening of the Special Collections Research Center in spring 2015.
The Special Collections Research Center is home to the University Library's rarest and most valuable collections, including rare books, manuscripts, the University Archives and the University Art Collection. It is in Special Collections that students and scholars conduct primary source research utilizing the Library's unique materials. Notable treasures include a first edition of St. Ignatius's Ratio Studiorum (1586); Mark Twain's original handwritten manuscript of Tom Sawyer (ca. 1873-1876); 20,000 volumes on the history of intelligence and espionage; the University's founding documents; and much more.
The staff of Special Collections will continue to offer services from their temporary space during the renovation project, but ask that you contact them in advance for your research needs. While we do not anticipate many service interruptions beyond Special Collections, we do know that the project may require periodic closings of portions of Lauinger's fifth floor. Construction may be noisy and dusty at times and we apologize for the inconvenience. Library staff will do their best to communicate disruptions in advance to minimize any effect on our users. Information and updates will be posted regularly at library.georgetown.edu/special-collections/renovation.
The renovation of the Special Collections Research Center is an exciting and necessary step for the Library, to ensure the preservation and security of our most precious materials. The renovated Center will enable Special Collections, the Library and the University to expand their impact on research and scholarship on the Hilltop, in the community and around the globe.

(NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR), the first privatized airport group in Mexico and operator of Cancun Airport and eight others in the southeast of Mexico, today announced that it and Advent International have made a joint bid to participate in the bidding process for concessions for three Brazilian airports. Advent and ASUR delivered their joint bid to the Brazilian Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil (National Civil Aviation Agency, or "ANAC") today. Pursuant to the process established by ANAC, the bidding is for a concession to expand, maintain and operate the Brasilia, Guarulhos and Campinas airports. Although bidding groups may deliver bids for more than one airport, a bidding group may only be awarded the concession for one airport. ANAC will evaluate bids based on compliance with certain technical criteria and the confession fee offered by each bidding group. The winning bidding group for each airport will be required to form a joint venture with Empresa Brasileira de Infraestructura Aeroportuaria (Infraero) in which the winning bidding group would be the majority shareholder and Infraero would be the minority shareholder. The joint venture company, in turn, would hold the concession for the relevant airport, which will require the joint venture company to maintain, operate and expand the airport. The terms of the concessions are expected to be 25 years for the Brasilia airport, 20 years for Guarulhos and 30 years for Campinas. The winning bidders for each airport will be required, among other conditions, to maintain a minimum amount of equity in the joint venture company holding the concession, and to pay the concession fee in annual installments during the term of the concession. ANAC has indicated that it will announce the identities of the bidding groups, and on February 6, it will unseal and publicly announce the concession fees offered by each bidding group. The three bidding groups that have offered the highest concession fees for each airport will then participate in a live public auction for that airport. On February 7, ANAC will announce the bidding group that has offered the highest concession fee for each airport. Subsequently, ANAC will confirm whether those bidding groups have complied with the technical criteria. The bidding groups offering the highest concession fee that meet the technical criteria will be announced as the winners of the concessions.

Tribe leader
Zepherin Saint, enigmatic producer, DJ, talent scout and co-founder of Tribe records, sits opposite composed and alert. Unabashed he smoothes over my interrogation with an effervescent charm, that softens my line of questioning. Mastery acquired via two decades of flexing vinyl in the eighties London warehouse scene, and lighting up the dance floor for the likes of Michael Jackson et al. This tribe chief treads a tight rope between elusive party chameleon and all-around-nice-guy, nom de guerre 'dream big brother'. His prominence as venerate artist is a far leap from the thirteen year old Cinderfella, who would enthusiastically pack rigging into the back of van for parties he was too young to attend. That was 1983, when folk transformed their homes into clubs, with a subsequent door tax - to cover breakages. Musical education was a diet administered daily; from funk bands (Parliament, Slave) to UK jazz funk, with soul, lovers rock and country (thanks mum and dad) melted into the pot. 1987 came to fruition with the debut release of Give me back your love feat. Carol Leeming, under the pseudonym Boyz in Shock on Jack Trax, regarded as one of the first British garage tracks.
In the years which have elapsed Saint has toured extensively, discovering an infinite appreciation of his music and the genre in general, in the most unexpected of places; Beirut, Syria, Egypt. Feeding into an obsessive love of soul music, Saint has devoted himself to discovering and nurturing new strains from around the globe. Producing a unique blend of afro house, referencing primary roots into a myriad of hypnotic layers, the sound is deep and intoxicating. Saint has attained the optimum position to convey Tribe's message of One Sound, One People to the masses.

As we move into 2014, leaders of organizations across the country are evaluating their performance and contemplating how they can improve this year. Whether your plan is to conquer new markets, introduce a new product, or drive efficiencies and improve
results, every employer in Canada has one thing in common: We all rely on human capital.
As individuals, we also have something else in common: motivation. It's what makes us tick. In the workforce, one of the measures we use to quantify motivation is "engagement", and our research shows that it makes all the difference when it comes to an organization's performance.
Aon Hewitt estimates that approximately 35 per cent of Canadian employees are not engaged. The impact of this on the bottom line is clear. According to one study, each disengaged employee costs upwards of $10,000 a year in lost profits.
Conversely, organizations with engaged employees have happier customers, lose less time to sickness and deliver better financial and shareholder returns. How do we know this? Because we can measure employee engagement, correlate it to key business metrics, and watch a business rise or fall on the tide of engaged employees.
Take the case of TELUS. As company executives prepared for TELUS' recent third quarter earnings call, they reviewed the numbers from across the business and anticipated financial analysts' questions. But when TELUS leaders opened the call to questions, something unusual happened. Interest quickly turned from financial matters to something analysts rarely ask about: culture.
How, analysts wanted to know, had TELUS got its customer "churn" rate below one per cent, and how had it managed to lead the industry again with 27 per cent fewer customer complaints received than in the prior year, while other industry players on a combined basis saw complaints received rise by 33 per cent? What was it about TELUS' culture that allowed it to outpace its competitors in providing a leading customer experience?
The answer, executives explained, was engagement. According to Aon Hewitt's research, TELUS' employee engagement in 2013, at 83 per cent, placed it in the top position globally amongst organizations of its size and workforce mix.
It took immense effort to develop such a motivated
culture. Five years ago, TELUS' employee engagement was 58 per cent, about average for a large corporation. Aon Hewitt identified for TELUS the top engagement drivers that would lead to higher employee motivation and satisfaction, such as customer focus, career opportunities, managing
performance and improving work processes.
The insights helped to shape the company's HR and leadership practices, while the company's CEO, Darren Entwistle, galvanized team members across the company around a new organizational philosophy: "Customers First".
TELUS launched "Closer to the Customer", a program where every senior leader spends at least one day each year working with frontline employees in a call centre, installing services in customer homes, or helping clients in retail outlets.
TELUS also made a commitment to vigorously learn from customer feedback. A good example is "Learning from Customer Escalations", a weekly email that Mr. Entwistle sends to senior leaders across the company. Leaders are asked to review the customer scenarios, discuss them with their teams, and generate ideas and process improvements to address the underlying issues affecting customer satisfaction.
To ensure employees have a say in decisions that impact them, TELUS also adopted "Fair Process", a business discipline that involves individuals in the decision-making process by giving them a chance to provide input, discuss the ideas put forward by others and receive a thorough
explanation regarding the business rationale underpinning the ultimate decision made.
In addition, TELUS evolved its broad-based recognition program, called "Bravo", to further enable employees to recognize and reward one another. In 2011, the program was named a global best by Recognition Professionals International. TELUS also initiated a special program for customer-facing team members, "Customers First Champions", to recognize team members who go above and beyond in consistently delivering an exceptional customer experience.
While these examples only scratch the surface of how TELUS, with the help and guidance of Aon Hewitt, moved the engagement needle 25 percentage points within a few years, the company's experience demonstrates that with the right vision and level of commitment, profound change and employee engagement are possible.
So, as you contemplate how you will drive your business forward in 2014 and beyond, reflect upon your team and plan to get them more engaged. The results will be nothing short of transformational.
Neil M. Crawford is a partner at Aon Hewitt and a leader of the company's Best Employers in Canada study. Josh Blair is executive vice-president of human resources and chief corporate officers at TELUS.

The Tapping Solution (EFT): How To Get Started
Discover How to Use EFT Tapping, a Combination of Ancient Chinese Acupressure and Modern Psychology, to Improve Your Health, Relationships, Level of Happiness, and Much More…
From the Desk of Nick Ortner, New York Times Best-Selling Author of the Book "The Tapping Solution"…
What I'm going to share with you on this page, and this entire site, is likely to drastically improve the quality of your life.
You see, when I first learned about EFT, a type of Meridian Tapping, I was so blown away with how effective it was that I absolutely knew I had to find a way to teach others the technique. Over the last 8 years it's been my life's mission to show others how they can quickly learn and use EFT Tapping to make life better in every way possible.
On this site, the world's most visited EFT Tapping website, I'm going to share with you everything you need to know to help you get what YOU want out of life. To get going, you can either scroll down and keep reading this page, or simply click one of the images below to go to a particular section…
What is EFT Tapping?
EFT, otherwise known as Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a type of Meridian Tapping that combines ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology with startling results.
Tapping can help people overcome many issues. From pain relief, to healing childhood traumas, to clearing limiting financial beliefs, to weight loss, body image and food cravings, to fears and phobias, Tapping is proving to be a powerful, well-researched and easy to learn and apply technique.
Tapping utilizes the body's energy meridian points by stimulating them with your fingertips – literally tapping into your body's own energy and healing power.
Your body is more powerful than you can imagine… filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing. With Tapping, you can take control of that power.
I'll explain exactly how EFT Tapping works and why it is so effective, but before I do that, check out this video, originally filmed for our 2013 Tapping World Summit, which was attended online by over 500,000 people, for a full explanation, along with a visual demonstration on EFT Tapping…
Why Does EFT Tapping Work?
When you're experiencing a negative emotional state—angry or upset or fearful— your brain goes on alert. It prepares your body to enter a full-blown, fight-or- flight response. This response evolved to mobilize the body to face an external threat-think of a tiger coming after your ancient ancestor. All the body's defense systems are turned on to support either fighting or fleeing from the danger. Your adrenaline pumps, your muscles tense, and your blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar all rise to give you extra energy to meet the challenge.
Stressors in ancient days were very real threats to survival. Today, however, the fight-or-flight response is rarely activated by a physical threat. Most of our fight-or-flight responses today are triggered internally. For many of us, the internally generated stress response is triggered by a negative memory or thought that has its roots in past trauma or conditioned learning from childhood. The stress response in the body takes the same form, whether the trigger is the tiger (external) or a negative memory (internal). The adrenaline flows, the heart races, and so on. What tapping does, with amazing efficiency, is halt the fight-or-flight response and reprogram the brain and body to act-and react-differently.
The stress response begins in your brain in the almond-shaped amygdala, one of the components of the limbic system, or midbrain. The midbrain is located between the frontal lobes (the cortex) and the hindbrain (also called the reptilian brain-the earliest, most primitive part of the brain). The limbic system is the source of emotions and long-term memory, and it's where negative experiences are encoded. The amygdala has been called the body's smoke detector. "Uh-oh, here comes trouble," says the amygdala. "Something is threatening our safety." It signals the brain to mobilize the body in the fight-or-flight response. Tapping on the meridian endpoints helps to deactivate the amygdala's alarm and sends a calming response to the body, and the amygdala recognizes that it's safe.
And as I'll show you in just a minute, research is showing just how powerful it is.
How to do EFT Tapping…
I'll show you a video demonstration on how to tap below, but here are the basic principles to know:
The basic technique requires you to focus on the negative emotion at hand: a fear or anxiety, a bad memory, or any other aspect around an unresolved problem, or anything that's bothering you. While maintaining your mental focus on this issue, use your fingertips to tap 5-7 times each on 9 of the body's meridian points. Tapping on these meridian points – while concentrating on accepting and resolving the negative emotion – will access your body's energy, restoring it to a balanced state.
You may be wondering about these meridians. Put simply, energy circulates through your body along a specific network of channels. You can tap into this energy at any point along the system.
This concept comes from the doctrines of traditional Chinese medicine, which referred to the body's energy as "chi." In ancient times, the Chinese discovered 100 meridian points. They also discovered that by stimulating these meridian points, they could heal. Call it energy, call it the Source, call it life force, call it chi… Whatever you want to call it, it works.
In some ways, Tapping is similar to acupuncture. Like Tapping, acupuncture achieves healing through stimulating the body's meridians and energy flow. However, unlike acupuncture, Tapping involves NO needles! "No needles" is definitely one of the advantages of Tapping. 🙂
Acupuncture also takes years to master. Acupuncture practitioners must memorize hundreds of meridian points along the body; the knowledge and training take years to acquire.
Tapping is simple and painless. It can be learned by anyone. And you can apply it to yourself, whenever you want, wherever you are. It's less expensive and less time consuming. It can be used with specific emotional intent towards your own unique life challenges and experiences. Most importantly, it gives you the power to heal yourself, putting control over your destiny back into your own hands.
