has anybody used the CiT Media Centre Remote (reports as a Aureal Semiconductor in lsusb) sucessfully with XBMC?
I bought mine on cclonline in the UK (http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.as...id=gsearch)
I am not sure which lirc conf I have to use, the aureal on the lirc/remotes web site does not seem to work.

Did you get anywhere with this remote?
Ive got the same remote however when in XBMC the directional buttons move the mouse pointer instead of moving up and down the menus.
Also some of the buttons do work, such as the play, stop, fwd, rwd and some others for menu navigation.
There is also a blue button labelled toggle. When I press that, everything stops working.
It could probably be a very usable remote if the d-pad worked correctly.

The issue with this remote is that it incorrectly reports itself as a single key keyboard. As this remote is a USB HID, you need to ensure that you install this patch from the following thread.
and then do this
There would be a makefile, do make and then make install. You need to add "sudo" to both the comments. Once done, i think you need to move the .o and .ko files to a location where the kernel can find it. Once done reboot and then do this to your /etc/rc.local file.
edit /etc/rc.local and include
rmmod usbhid
modprobe hid-aureal
modprobe usbhid
After this, all keys in the remote should work with out any issue. No need to setup lirc.

Hello, thanks for all to provide a solution.
I have downloaded, compiled and installed the kernel module. Most seems to work.
One thing I find annoying is that the remote's arrow keys make the mouse move. I would prefer them to behave like the cursors. How can I do that?
BTW I tried lirc with the lirc.conf provided on page 2 of "http://www2.dealextreme.com/forums/Default.dx/sku.34435~threadid.624377", but still the same.
Or should I just leave it and edit the keymap in XBMC?

It would be a great help if someone would post the output of lsusb for the device or even lsusb -v. I'm having a similar problem but on a different device and wanted to see if the manuf. and device were the same output as yours.
example: lsusb
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0755:2626 Aureal Semiconductor
example: lsusb -v
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0755:2626 Aureal Semiconductor

You need to simply press the "toggle" button in the remote to make it work like keyboard. Its quite annoying, i know. but i havent found a solution for it yet.

Has anyone got the remote to mimic the "c" (Context menu) or "i" (Info) keystrokes with this remote?

I was using this remote with XBMC, and I've just sorted out how to use the commands from this remote in my Harmony 525.
I used the patch that was suggested on this forum, together with the toggle option, and no problems. I notice some of the buttons work under CrunchBang normally, but I wanted to configure a start button for the Harmony... which hopefully I've just got sorted.

Hi Guys,
Just picked up this CIT remote today - for £7 off ebay, it seems a great buy and managed to get it to do all of what i need it to by the following keyboard.xml edits and a couple of scripts for 'autohotkey' (http://www.autohotkey.com)
1st script i use is to force the 'Media Centre', or 'Green Button' as its usually but not on this remote, to open XBMC - get the script from link below and added to all the Windows All users>startup profile folder.
2nd script makes the 'WWW' button act as the toggle for current playing video being 'full screen' or 'small window' (i use Alaska skin so use the down arrow to start trailers then use toggle button. Added to the 'all users' profile the same as above script.
I've copied the script i used as i can't find it now in the search.... as you can see its coded by 'Elitegamer360' so all credit goes to them for this.
;Script written to only activate specific keys when XBMC is in focus, Hence mouse functionality issue solved.
SetTitleMatchMode 2 ; Start for XBMC matching in window title/ fast default.
#IfWinActive XBMC ahk_class XBMC ; Script will look for XBMC window before activating the mapping.
; if XBMC is Closed or sent to the background code designed to
; bypass blinding the buttons, to resume proper mouse functionality
; when needed.
;blind START.
Browser_Home::Send {tab}
;blind END.
#IfWinActive ; Reset outside window.
;Coded by Elitegamer360
For the last few keys that i use I then did a couple of basic edits of the c:\program files\xbmc\system\keymaps\Keyboard.xml and changed/added
ContextMenu {which makes the 'FM Radio' button act as the context menu key}
<t mod="ctrl,shift">FirstPage</t> {which makes the 'My TV' button act as the back to 'First Page' button when browsing movies/music files etc}
<menu>Info</menu> {makes the 'i' button bring up the 'Info' on a file)
Pretty basic functionality only as i'm just a noobie but for me it makes a £7 remote a perfectly usable tool for XBMC.
My Setup….
5 x XBMC deploys
6 x Media remotes (1 CIT remote, 1 x Rii Mini 2.4G Wireless Keyboard, 3 x VRC-1100 remotes)
3 x standard PC's (win 7 + XP)
1 x Acer Rivo (win 7 U) (HDMI split to 2 rooms bedroom+bathroom using cat5)
1 x Antec Media Centre (win vista U)
1 x Win XP - 6TB file server for movies, music, music videos

I know this thread is pretty old now but I was wondering if anyone might be able to clarify how to compile this patch and install it?
Unfortunately my knowledge of Linux is limited (although I'm OK with general command line use etc) and it's been a while since I even used the DOS command line in anger.
I'm using XBMC Live 10.1.
I have the patch files and have moved them into my home directory using FTP. I have a SSH session open with Putty to the XBMC box.
However, I'm not really sure how to compile the patch and where to put the resultant file/files .
Could anyone give me a pointer?
I was hoping that there might be some newbie instrutions with the source code. I presume they assume you know what you're doing.

from start to finish:
git clone git://gitorious.org/~fcatrin/hid-aureal-kernel-module/fcatrins-hid-aureal-kernel-module.git aureal
sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
make sure xbmc option for remote sends keyboard presses is unticked.
toggle between mouse/keyboard works now.
xbmc works with it with minimal button support but it does work to navigate and play/pause etc.
i have noticed that xbmc does not allow inputs from the keyboard side of this device right away (takes a few seconds after starting).
you can try cloning the actual hid-aureal-kernel-module git but I was getting compile errors so had to use this cloned repository.
only big difference is recompiling the kernel which wasnt mentioned for some reason.
anytime you do a kernel update, you will need to repatch and recompile.

Smith Battles Adverse Weather To Finish 8th In Assen

Smith Battles Adverse Weather To Finish 8th In Assen
Bradley Smith completed a challenging race for the Monster Yamaha Tech3 Team in Assen by crossing the line in 8th after enduring the unpredictable Dutch weather for round 8 of the 204 MotoGP World Championship.
The beginning of the Iveco Daily TT Assen was delayed due to a sudden downpour of rain as the bikes lined the grid in front of 90,000 excited Dutch fans in what turned out to be the first wet race of the 2014 MotoGP season. Bradley Smith began his 26 lap sprit around the legendary 4252 metre circuit from the last grid slot of the second row before holding 8th place during the opening lap as he intrepidly powered through the rain and over the damp track surface. The historical Assen circuit proceeded to dry rapidly forcing the young British rider to enter the pits to change bikes on lap seven. He then re-joined the race and set into an incredibly competitive rhythm aboard the Yamaha YZR-M1 and in the final stages of the race he was the fastest MotoGP rider on track, also producing the 3rd fastest race time on his final lap as he just missed out on P7 by a tenth of a second.
His Monster Yamaha Tech3 teammate Pol Espargaro suffered ill luck as he retired during round 8 of the 2014 MotoGP world championship at Assen on lap 18. The reigning Moto2 World champion began the day in positive fashion by seizing 3rd in this morning's warm up before starting the Iveco Daily Dutch TT from 11th on the grid. After choosing to make a last minute swap to his tyre choice, the rookie had to start from the rear of the field in 23rd but expertly elevated himself up to 14th position by the end of the first lap before changing bikes on lap seven due to the drying track. The Spanish star rejoined the race and set his sights on regaining some positions but fell on lap 15. He heroically remounted and attempted to carry on after entering the pits again to swap bikes, before retiring on lap 18 from the Grand Prix. His non finish marks a disappointing end to a weekend which was full of high promise with the MotoGP rookie continuing to learn at every race in an impressive manner during his first season in the premier class.
Bradley Smith Bradley Smith
Race : 8th Championship : 10 th Points : 48
Smith - Assen - 2014"Overall I am pleased with my performance at the end of the race even if the position is not what I'm aiming for. I was very comfortable with the bike once the track had dried and my race pace would have seen me within top 5 if not on the podium. Unfortunately at the same time today was quite a frustrating situation. The bike didn't work too well in the rain and I lost so much time at the beginning because of these wet conditions. I decided to follow Jorge's judgement on the pit stop and remained out for one more lap with him which was definitely the wrong decision as I lost approximately 10 seconds during that lap and when looking at the time sheets now, I would have been able to fight for 4th position with Aleix had I not lost that time. However when I rejoined the race the bike was awesome in the dry. The team did a great job but it's still just a bit irritating to end up in this position after such a solid end to the race in terms of pace. So unfortunately the result doesn't justify our efforts but we've worked really well this weekend and I go hard from the beginning to the end and look forward to giving it my all next round in Germany"
Pol Espargaro Pol Espargaro
Race : DNF
Championship : 7 th Points : 58
Espargaro - Assen - 2014"It has been such an unlucky and disappointing end to this weekend! We started in a brilliant way during the practice sessions where I felt strong and competitive on the bike. My only worry was the weather and the storyboard planned the worst scenario for me. The rain arrived when we were going to the starting grid and from that moment on I got really nervous. I think , we also made a few of unfortunate decisions as it was actually a gamble which tyres to choose at the beginning of the race. Also the fact that my first ever wet laps had to be the opening ones of today's race did not really help my confidence. However, I really didn't feel comfortable enough to push and when we changed to dry tyres I was already far behind trying to close the gap to the riders in front of me, but I made a mistake and crashed. Afterwards, I returned to the pit box and tried to finish the race with my second bike, which was on rain tyres, but with the track already dry there was nothing I could do. Now I have to look forward to the next race in Germany in two weeks of time where we hopefully will be able to show our true potential."
Hervé Poncharal - Team manager :
"What a bizarre race it was today, with uncertainty from the word go with regards to tyre choices. Whilst Bradley decided straight away to start the race on wet tyres, Pol took the gamble along with Valentino to commence the race with a dry setup. But the returning rain and the lack of time until the start, saw them change their minds and Pol had to start from the back of the grid. He was still able to finish the first lap in 14th position which was close to his grid spot. Of course, the task today has not been an easy one for him facing the wet conditions for the first time in MotoGP. In addition, It has probably been his high expectations which made him push a bit too hard after swapping back to the dry bike to cause an unfortunate mistake which prevented him from finishing the race. A real pity after his strong performance over the whole weekend. Bradley on the other hand, did a brilliant job especially during the last part of the race where he was clearly the fastest rider on track. Probably his strategy was not the most fortunate one today which hindered him from collecting an even better, but clearly deserved, result here in Assen. However we leave the Netherlands knowing where we must improve and anticipate the next round in Germany with keen excitement so both of our boys can show what they can achieve."

Dr. Zimmerman's TUESDAY TIP: "Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who believed that something inside of them was superior to circumstances." Bruce BartonDr. Alan Zimmerman's Personal Commentary:Take two people ... one experienced and the other one inexperienced ... and guess which one is most likely to win in a contest. Of course, you're going to say the experienced one. But you need to look a little deeper to understand WHY the experienced one is most likely to win.Let's use the game of darts as an example. The contest is about to begin. The inexperienced half-drunk dart thrower enters a dimly lit room. On the wall across the room is the barely visible dart board. He stands next to a box filled with an endless supply of darts and begins throwing them, one by one. Under those circumstance, his chances of hitting the bull's-eye with the first few darts are very low. In fact, he might not even hit the dart board. But if he continues to throw 10, 20, 50, 100 or even a 1000 darts, chances are he'll become more accurate. He'll eventually hit the dart board, and sooner or later he's going to hit the bull's-eye.Of course, when he hits a bull's-eye, everyone else in the room will congratulate him on his good luck. But it wasn't luck. It was simply a matter of probabilities. Contrast that inexperienced dart thrower with the experienced one. He walks into the same room after having practiced throwing darts for months and months. When he comes into the room, he turns up the lights so the entire room and the dart board are fully lit. And like his competitor, he stands in the same throwing position and has an endless supply of darts. How many darts do you think he'll have to throw before hitting the bull's-eye?The answer is obvious. A lot fewer than the inexperienced dart thrower. He'll hit more bull's-eyes more quickly than the inexperienced dart thrower ever will. There's a lesson in all of this. Success is a matter of probabilities. Anything you do to increase the probabilities you will hit a bull's-eye at whatever you attempt, the better off you'll be. The winners in this world watch what successful people do and they PRACTICE the same behaviors. And successful people ELIMINATE or minimize the factors that stand in the way of achieving their goals ... such as eliminating the darkness in the dart-throwing room. They know when they practice certain behaviors and eliminate others, their probabilities of success go up dramatically.Well, one of the most important factors in success is SELF-CONFIDENCE. You can practice it, acquire it, keep it, and eliminate its enemy of insecurity. Here's what you do.1. Get a proper understanding of self-confidence.Self-confidence is a quiet strength or a calm power inside of you that says, "I'll be okay" and "I can do it." It has nothing to do with pride, conceit or arrogance. Those are simply cover-ups worn by people who lack self-confidence ... cover-ups to convince other people that they've got it all together ... while they're shaking on the inside. If you lack self-confidence, you may across as prideful, conceited, or arrogant. Or you may behave in ways that are just the opposite. Your lack of self-confidence may come out as:
And as you can tell, none of those behaviors are very attractive. So it's no wonder a lack of self-confidence can hamper your professional career and your personal relationships. To increase your probabilities for success, you must have self-confidence. And the good news is ... self-confidence is not an all-or-nothing personality trait ... that some people have and others don't. The truth is ... confidence can be acquired when you follow certain steps. SPECIAL: To help you get more self-confidence, I am offering 2 of my MP3's for $9.97. Listen to my MP3 Self-Esteem and Subliminal Self-Confidence on your computer or MP3 player and save $13.97. Start by ordering NOW!2. Act-as-if.You don't have to be confident to become confident. You can ACT your way into it.The author Bob Proctor talks about this. He calls it "the beautiful truth." As he says, "It is well established and clearly documented that you've believed an over abundance of lies with respect to who you are and what you are capable of doing. It's high time that you begin to tap into the beautiful truth that, if you can see it in your head, you can hold it in your hand."In other words, think. Visualize. Get a picture in your mind of how a confident person would behave and do likewise.For example, you may be about to make a presentation to a very important group of prospective customers that could dramatically change your career for the better. You're nervous. You're not sure you can give the polished, professional presentation that is required in this situation. So you stop and ask yourself, "How would I behave if I was filled with confidence? How would I look? How would I stand? And how would I speak?"Or you might ask yourself, "How would (a very confident, successful person you know) handle this presentation?"When you visualize how a confident person would behave and when you act-as-if you had that same confidence, you WILL become more confident. Guaranteed. Use this act-as-if principle throughout your daily life. Raise your chin ... whether or not you feel like it ... because it will raise your spirits. In fact, it's very difficult to be depressed if you keep your chin up.Smile, whether or not you feel like it. Dr. Dale Anderson, the world's expert on the healing power of acting, says if you put a big smile on your face your body chemistry actually changes for the better. You will feel better and be more self-confident.3. Be flexible.People who lack self-confidence tend to be overly rigid. They feel like they have to follow a well-planned route or stick to a certain belief system to be safe. But they're wrong. The only people who don't change their behaviors or their minds are either stupid or stubborn. Self-confident people know there's always more to learn and there's always a better way of doing something. So they go for it, and as a result, their probabilities of success shoot straight up.Matthew Leake, one of my "Tuesday Tip" subscribers from the Edward Jones company, told me he learned self-confidence by writing out a little sign that he reads every day. It encourages him to be flexible. His sign reads:
You might try it. Read those words every day because they will build your confidence. Or you might try a little technique I learned from my friend Tim Richardson. If you're in business or sales, if you've had your fill of rejection, if your self-confidence is dimming, simply tell yourself, "NO really means Next Option." There's always another way. Be flexible. 4. Learn from failure; let it make you better. You're going to make some mistakes. Everybody does. Successful, self-confident people learn from their mistakes and move one. Other people use their mistakes to justify their lack of confidence. You're also going to have some tough times. Everybody does. When that happens, the non-confident gripers and groaners ask, "Why me?". They figure they should be exempt from life's misfortunes, and when they find out they're not, they become even more insecure. By contrast, self-confident people ask a better question. They ask, "Why not me?". The question helps them deal with their tough times in a way that helps them become stronger. As psychologist Dr. Terry Paulson says, the motto of self-confident people could very well be: "Adversity need not define you; instead, it can refine you."Yes, make the most of your tough times and then leave them behind. Learn from YOUR failures. And learn from the failure of OTHERS. This might sound kind of silly, but study some failures. As business philosopher Jim Rohn used to say, "It's too bad that failures don't give seminars. Their information would be so valuable."Rohn said he always wanted to approach a guy who messed up his life for 40 years and say, "John, would you spend a day with me? I'll bring a journal and take good notes. Teach me how you messed it up."Learn from the failure of others. That's why I say in my program on "The Leadership Payoff," find out what the failures are reading and don't read those books. Find out what the failures talk about and don't talk about those subjects. And find out how the failures talk and don't talk like that.5. Stop punishing yourself. Put a statute of limitations on your mistakes. Stop punishing yourself for past mistakes. Give yourself a deadline. Tell yourself, "After this date (specify a date) I will not put myself down or beat myself up for this mistake or that failure (specify the behavior.) It's done. It's over. I refuse to spend any more energy ruminating over it." And hold yourself accountable for doing exactly that. You'll be amazed at how much more confidence you'll have. You might even want to forgive yourself. Dr. Frederic Luskin, a senior consultant in health promotion at Stanford University, talks about that in his book, "Forgive For Good." He says, "You can let go of a grudge you've held against someone, even if you never see or speak to the person again. Forgiving takes places inside the person who has the change of heart, not the person who is forgiven." The same truth applies to self-forgiveness. When you forgive yourself for past mistakes, a change takes place in your heart and then in your confidence.6. Be kind to yourself.As I mentioned above, you've got to STOP punishing yourself for past mistakes. And you need to START rewarding yourself for successes. When you do something well, when you use some of your talents effectively, reward yourself with a treat. Maybe it's five-minute stretch break or a nice meal with a friend. Your self-rewarding action can be powerful. According to Dr. Sidney Simon, professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, these little acts of kindness are IALAC messages or ways of telling yourself "I Am Loveable And Capable." And your conscious and subconscious minds need to hear those messages again and again. And no, you're not being egotistical when you're being kind to yourself. You're simply affirming that you've got some talents ... that you count ... and you're important. Not having something to feel important about in life would be a good definition of hell.Finally, 7. PracticeIt takes practice to become self-confident. So review the strategies above and keep practicing them ... at all sorts of time. Practice building your confidence when you're feeling weak and vulnerable, and practice when you're feeling strong and powerful. You want self-confidence to become a way of life rather than an occasional burst of energy. As Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, "Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and hard enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody." He's right. You'll wake up the champion inside of you.Action:Pick one of the strategies between numbers 2 and 6 and focus on using that strategy as often as possible this week.

The safest corporate bond exchange traded funds have attracted their fair share of interest this year, with U.S. investment-grade corporate debt now trading below pre-recession levels, but the outperformance may not last.
Bonds have generated better returns than riskier debt for the first time since 2010 and the second time since 2006, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (NYSEArca: LQD) has gained 5.4% year-to-date, whereas the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NYSEArca: HYG) is up 4.0% and SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (NYSEArca: JNK) rose 4.2%.
LQD tracks investment-grade corporate debt with credit ratings of BBB or higher. The ETF has a 7.69 year duration and a 3.07% 30-day SEC yield.
HYG and JNK track speculative, or junk, bonds. HYG shows a 3.95 year duration and a 4.34% 30-day SEC yield, and JNK has a 4.21 year durationa nd a 4.73% 30-day SEC yield.
U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds have returned 4.8%, accounting for both interest payments and price appreciation, while the Barclays U.S. corporate high-yield bond index returned 4.3%.
Top-rated, investment-grade U.S. corporate debt is now trading at or even below pre-recession levels. New issue paper has cleared the market at spreads of 30 to 80 basis points, compared to benchmark Treasuries, according to Investing.
Bond prices have an inverse relationship to yields, so rising prices corresponds to falling yields.
However, some analysts argue that investors could be shifting into riskier, speculative-grade debt as the improving U.S. economy will sap away the rally in safe fixed-income assets. [Investors Seek Riskier Debt, Jump into Junk Bond ETFs]
"We have a preference for high yield at the moment," Rachel Golder, who manages high-yield bonds and loans at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said in the WSj article. "We are bullish on the U.S. economy and think that rates will begin to steadily move up and investment grade is more vulnerable."
Bank of America Merrill Lynch now expects investment grade bonds to generate a 1.5% overall return for 2014, compared to the 4% to 5% rise in high-yield bonds.
"The returns you are getting in investment grade are the best you are going to have this year," Mark Pibl, head of high-yield strategy at broker-dealer Canaccord Genuity Inc., said in the WSJ article.

Usually this work takes place indoors, but sometimes — such as when I'm framing or trimming an addition — it happens outdoors. So when I tested the PLS180 a few months ago, I was able to give it a real workout.This small line laser — which projects visible plumb and level beams — is unique in that its horizontal beam fans out at more than 180 degrees. Although the vertical beam has a slightly narrower fan angle, it can still project a plumb beam up the wall and across the ceiling to a point behind the laser.

Kate Grace is off to a hot start on the indoor track circuit this winter. The 24-year-old, who is sponsored by Oiselle and trains with Frank Gagliano's New Jersey-New York Track Club, turned more than a few heads with an 8:55.06, second-place finish in the 3,000 meters at the University of Washington Invitational at the end of January, outkicking Abby D'Agostino and Jordan Hasay over the final 100 meters to finish less than a second behind winner Brie Felnagle.
Grace, a four-time All-American at Yale, competed in both the 800 and the 1,500 meters at last summer's Olympic trials. She'll turn her attention next to the Wanamaker Mile this Saturday at the Millrose Games in New York City, where she'll line up amongst a loaded field that includes D'Agostino and Hasay, as well as Olympian Emma Coburn, high school phenom Mary Cain and others.
We recently caught up with Grace, who'd just wrapped up a month-long training stint in Arizona with her New Jersey-New York Track Club teammate, Olympian Julie Culley.
Last summer you competed in both the 800 and 1,500 at the Olympic trials, and most recently you ran a big 3K PR of 8:55 indoors. You're running the Wanamaker. What do you feel is your best event, and where do you see yourself focusing heading into the 2016 Olympic cycle?
The 1,500. My training this year will focus on that event, with the understanding and hope that increased strength will help improve my 800, and upped mileage will allow me to drop my distance PRs. In college, I was an 800-meter runner, who occasionally ran 15s to spice it up and help get points for my team. Since joining Gags in January 2012, I have more than doubled my mileage and workout volume, and added tempos and long runs. It's fun testing myself with new work, and exciting being able to meet those challenges. The fact that I have the speed background, and am able to hit the strength workouts, tells us that there is a lot more to come in the 1,500. Before the 3K, we were saying it's like opening a present on Christmas morning: Not quite sure what we're going to get, but I think I've been good, and I can't wait to find out.
Speaking of Wanamaker, this is the first year they're hosting a women's mile, instead of the 1,500. What does it mean to you to be a part of that star-studded field, which includes a few of your NYNJTC teammates, and do you feel like you have a bit of a home-track advantage being from the area?
It's been a dream to run at Millrose, and I couldn't have asked for a better field. All runners that I greatly respect, but also not a clear favorite. The field is open, and that makes for the best kind of race -- one in which no one can be counted out.
As for New Jersey-New York Track Club teammates, there is a sense of sharing in each person's success. They have been there every day, all fall, doing the same, quality training. And I am as excited to see their improvements start to transfer from practice to race as I am my own. Plus, we get to hang and goof around all day to keep calm.
I actually have not raced much at the Armory. But, I know the warm-up loop, and I know where all the bathrooms are. That's all it really takes to feel comfortable!
You train under Gags [Gagliano] as a member of the New Jersey-New York Track Club, which is hodgepodge of athletes on the East Coast, including Culley, Erin Donahue, Delilah DiCrescenzo and others. Talk about the group dynamic, how you fell into it, and what it's like to train in New Jersey when so many other groups head to altitude or other running "meccas."
I see the group dynamic as an extension of Gags -- driven, passionate, proud, yet with a healthy dose of sarcasm and self-effacement. And always aware of the greater picture -- be it loved ones, community, family, religion. Plus, there is an underdog vibe that is great. Maybe it's because many of us share the story: underdeveloped college athlete, who didn't immediately score the big contract. Or that we are removed from the West Coast meccas that get a lot of press. Maybe it's simply that we aren't sheltered from friends in big cities with "normal" jobs. Whatever it is, I feel like I am both training with some of the best talent in the U.S., and in on a big secret. And that in itself is a race advantage. Who doesn't love the underdog?
Coming out of college, I was clueless. But I was also lucky enough to have coaches and mentors who had run for Gags and were able to set up the connection. He watched me race at Princeton, and heard the story of my progression. Really, that was the only way it was going to happen. I was mainly notable in the details: what I had achieved with the given training, the glimmers of a large range from even high school, the competitive spark. And I couldn't be happier with the result. I thrive with the type of coach who appeals to heart.
As for meccas -- I have six women who live within a mile radius who I can run and train with every day. We drive five minutes to a 320-meter indoor, or full outdoor track. I could do all of my regular running on soft surfaces out my back door. And there are more options a bit further that we explore on weekends. And being based here doesn't preclude training trips. Julie spends two months in winter in Phoenix, I joined her for one this January. When we reunited back with teammates, our first run started with a dance party, we were so excited to be together. That is pretty mecca-worthy to me.
Over the years, what's been the most important thing that's helped you develop as a runner in terms of your training, recovery or mindset?
It's always the mindset that makes the difference. Training is just a numbers game. Mentally, the ability to turn off the competitive urge during runs has saved me from injury and overtraining. It means I can go incredibly slow -- like, how is it possible to go this slow and still move -- on certain warm-ups or recovery runs, if that is what is needed. And it has allowed me to keep some runs for pure enjoyment. As a less dramatic example, I try to take competition out of practice, to train purely physical mechanisms. That way the special stores are saved for races.
And new developments: this year I am working on simplicity and consistency. Common for first year out, I was over thinking everything in 2012, as if I could graph and log my way into greatness. But that just became incredibly taxing, and also made it very hard to get in a groove. If there is one thing I've learned from Julie Culley, it's that the fewer things on your list, the more likely you are to get them done. There doesn't have to be many boxes on the "training" list, the key is just to make sure they are all checked.
Sponsorship is a major issue for almost all post-collegiate athletes, especially a young professional such as yourself who is less than two years out of school. You've been representing Oiselle since last year, a small women's apparel company out of Seattle. How do they help support your professional career? And what do you see as the biggest challenge for runners seeking sponsorship after college?
There is a lot of talk lately about the state of the current system. And runners much more experienced than I have written about the perfect storm -- of a bad market, in a post-Olympic year, combined with imperfect information on the available opportunities, creating a toxic training environment. There is no rulebook, no formula, and athletes, especially new ones, are tight-lipped about their individual situations. Runners even years out don't understand how it all works. Those in college shouldn't be expected to. If I have had any success in navigating the current environment, it is through no great skill of my own, but because I am able to lean on an incredible set of mentors. They already know the ropes and can guide me as I am learning for myself.
For the business side, it seems that those with the most knowledge are not necessarily the coaches. That is unfortunate, because college athletes are used to going to their coaches for all aspects of track. For me, the journey is possible because I am surrounded by people, coaches and otherwise, who either know the answer, or know where to look.
And that journey has taken me to Oiselle. I do receive financial support from them, but the really remarkable thing about the relationship is just that ... the relationships. I am friends with everyone in the office. I have personal connections with ambassador runners. I have even been coordinating with a few about their plans to come cheer me on at Millrose. The core mission of the company is to support that kind of relationship, developed through a mutual love of running. For me, it gives wholeness to the business aspect. And on a larger scale, I think it's a great model to continue connecting different levels, distances, and types of running. Plus, I get awesome clothes.

Designing Decisions Rules for Transnational Infraestructure Projects
This article discusses the implications of decision rules in the governance structures of transnational infrastructure projects. It stresses that decision rules strongly affect the performance of the partnership and that, consequently, attention should be given to their design at the initial stage. The article also stresses the fact that partners must not only agree on how to make ordinary decisions, but also special ones such as, for example, changing the rules along the way or making changes to the membership of the group. This paper makes the following specific points. First, the choice of partners is a key variable, which affects the choice of decision rules and, in turn, is influenced by the conditions for new entrants. Second, the choice of decision rules can crucially affect the degree of confidence and the level of cooperation among partners, as well as the speed at which the partnership adopts new decisions. Third, agreements on how to eventually change the initial set of rules and partners should be part of the design of a well established decision system.

I shall attempt only a brief mention of those excerpts, to show their pertinence.
This remark has no pertinence or meaning in Rosaline's mouth.
The essence of light is in his eyes—the centre of force in his soul—the pertinence of action in his deeds.
Although he mentions a publisher's catalogue (which he has not seen), he seems doubtful about its pertinence to the task.
But there was pertinence in the young woman's question; where was he going, indeed?
Certainly not to Mr. Palgrave's meagre and trivial examples, three of which alone have any title to pertinence.
There is integrity to design, consistence and pertinence, and there are aesthetic qualities.
The latter qualify only spiritual persons, and have no pertinence elsewhere.
The subsequent military and political history which led to Napoleon's downfall has no pertinence in the present discussion.
If any one tried, he would soon see the pertinence of the above remarks (b. 3).
late 14c., from Anglo-French purtinaunt (late 13c.), Old French partenant (mid-13c.) and directly from Latin pertinentem (nominative pertinens) "pertaining," present participle of pertinere "to relate, concern" (see pertain). Related: Pertinently.

AN 'incredibly squeamish' husband was forced to deliver his own baby when his wife went into labour on the living room floor.
Mark Bushell, 48, and his wife Hannah, 30, had planned a hospital birth but were unable to even leave the house before baby Finley arrived.
"If anyone told me beforehand I would have to deliver my own baby I would have run a mile," said Mr Bushell, who works at The Brathay Trust in Ambleside.
"I'm usually the kind of person who watches Casualty from behind the settee."
Mrs Bushell's contractions began at about 4am but when she called the hospital she was told to have a warm bath and wait until they got more painful.
"When we rang back later they told us to come in but to take our time because they were quite busy.
"We didn't realise it would all be so quick," said Mr Bushell, who lives with his family in Preston.
"I managed to get Hannah downstairs and almost in the car but she was in too much pain to move properly so we went back inside and called for an ambulance."
It wasn't until Mr Bushell spoke to an emergency services operator that he realised he would have to play the role of midwife.
"I was in panic mode and told the operator 'I'm not happy delivering it on my own'," he said.
"I'm incredibly squeamish but we both went into autopilot.
"Hannah was concentrating on delivering and was concentrating on catching and making sure I didn't drop him.
"It was all so quick. The head popped out and before I knew it Finley was born.
"All of a sudden the paramedics walked in and saw me holding the baby. They even looked quite shellshocked themselves!"
Mrs Bushell was in labour for just 90 minutes and baby Finley was born at 6.25am.
"By 8.30am we were all on a real high. Hannah was up and about and we were having a cup of tea on the sofa," he said.
"We are so happy and it has given us all a special bond."

Should America Constitutionalize The Spanking of Children?
Growing up a child in Kansas, the corporal punishment system was something I got to know when I was a four year old boy in 1959. I did not have to watch Law and Order to know the amazing detective work and prosecution the Law could deliver to a criminal.
My dad had a belt named Law and Order. My mother could go toe-to-toe with any New York DA and CSI to come up with a compelling case on why I would not only be getting my ass whipped by her moments later, but also my dad when he got home from work.
There was usually a pre-spanking from my mom, when she would set the tone if I did something wrong. She'd whip me a bit and dare me to talk back. She would then say, "Oh, just wait until your father gets home."
I would sit in my room, scared you know what-less, waiting for the sound of that Chevy to pull in the drive way, them to talk and to hear my door open. I knew that padding the pants was no help. I don't think President Eisenhower would have even allowed SRS to exist in those days. Even if it did, I know I would have got my little scheming butt whipped for calling them too.
Instead of thinking I was above the law, as a child I learned to respect the law. It is something that was instilled in me by my parents and growing up in the society at that time.
The first time I did something wrong, I was a kid. Our neighborhood just received sidewalks and naturally, I took my bike out to ride it. Mom just happened to come out when I was basically doing BMX styled back-and-forths between the street's opposing curbs. I was not looking out for oncoming traffic, mom came out to tell me to do so and I told her to 'Oh, cork it. I'll be fine.' I am not sure at what point in my mind I thought I could talk to my mom like my childhood friend Chip, but I do remember being taken into the house and getting my first taste of law.
That day I learned an important lesson: mom will whip my tail if I do not look both ways before crossing the street. Dang, must be important. And never tell your mother to 'Cork it'. To this day, I remember to look both ways before crossing a street and when I am hearing something important, to listen and respect what is being said.
My actual punishments during childhood were few and far in between, because both my parents were no strangers to bringing discipline. Doing chores, getting school work done, not talking back and generally being a 'good thinker' were all expectations. Even as a kid, I knew that choices such as doing drugs at school, drugging a girl and knocking her up and then laughing about it as a town covered it up, or walking around with pants that were 20 sizes too large were considered criminal in my parent's eyes.
The Steubenville rape case is a prime example of things that would not have happened in my locale. If myself or any of the guys on the football team even joked about something like this, our parents would have had us all lined up in electric chairs, would have reached into heaven or hell to drag us back from the dead, all so they could spank our butts until we cried and begged to die again. And that is why our generation had less things like this.
So why is it that as we read this, there are radically misfit parents who believe in letting their kids call them 'B*tch', allowing their kids to run around all night and sleep wherever and with whoever they want, to dress like non-English speaking hobos who cannot find a decent fitting pair of pants and be general wastes of space? Where went the parental homes where talking back to you mom would get you slapped and family dinner was not something that just happened on Leave It To Beaver or Cosby Show reruns?
Too many parents of today are irresponsible, and too many social liberals are nosy and idiotic. Let's look at this in a basic context: it is okay to have lofty ideals. It is fine to think that war is not needed and a maniacal man, let us say named Adolf Hitler, just needs to borrow some of your country for a bit and maybe move a few people to new housing while he reorganizes everything.
Then there is a point in time where you have to realize your lofty theories about progress and 'sophisticated thinking' is not how things work. Sometimes, a kid may need a timeout or a cool toy taken away. And then at times, you have to send in the ships, arm the soldiers and bring hell with a D-Day invasion the wrong will never forget.
Sometimes, you just need to whip your kid's butt and they will get the lesson.
But the problem is that many of today's youth do not know about discipline. They were raised in a society where the stinging wrath of mom and dad have been neutered by nanny-laws and child services. Sure, there is great difference between a reasonable swatting and what qualifies as physical abuse. For every time I did actually receive a spanking, and I speak as a counselor, not once was I abused: I simply got a swatting that I had coming.
And we see the decline in parenting ability in kids who did not learn discipline: laziness and unwilling to properly feed and watch their kids. American school children are doing worse in schools. In emergency rooms, inept mothers will constantly bring their kids in for a 'quick fix' instead of taking time to pull out Mentholatum, chicken soup and pure parental love to fix 'the flu'. How is that childhood obesity via processed food issue working out these days?
Spanking is demonized by modern media. Some people in Valdorsta want to tell you when it is okay to spank your child. Others want us to believe that kids who are spanked have lower IQs! These stories are only the tip of a very large iceberg that threaten to deeply rip the hull of the parent-child relationship crucial to maintaining a functioning society.
Spanking is not and should not be a primary means of discipline: actually paying attention to your kids, talking, giving love and a good home is what parenting is all about. But should a kid run into the street to get a ball, a swift hand to the backside should not be a stranger. Quick lesson: swat, do not do that. Result, kid does not get swatted by a car if it happens again.
Good parents watch their kids closely, but kids are kids. They will somehow always find their ways into some sort of trouble: dangling over stair railings, ingesting a random something, cussing at you because a friend at school did it. A quick swat and show of authority is not a bad thing, but talking and letting them understand love you have for them even in those times is paramount.
That is what good parenting is all about.
Should America Constitutionalize spanking?
At time of report in early 2013, most polls show Americans split nearly 50-50 on the issue. There are concerns for pro-spanking: some parents do not know difference between reasonably disciplining their kids and being vindictive, abusive miscreants. There are parents who are not going to resort and commit to maintaining a home where discipline and structure is built through love, consistency in actions and strong support. These parents may just lash out at kids who only misbehave because, frankly, they have horrible parents in the first place. There are kids who have behavioral issues and will constantly challenge authority: these kids need a different type of support system and cannot be raised like Johnny Common Smith.
But it is the onus of responsibility for a good parenting home to know how and when to raise their kids. Some of our greatest generations were raised in an America where tough discipline was no stranger: just look at the generation I alluded to earlier, the Greatest Generation who fought during World War II and are basically the modern backbone of our present nation. You can still see these people out, the men opening doors for women. Always dressed nicely and always giving a strong sense of stability, respect and comfort. These are the elder grandparents of our world who are sadly, coming to their end.
What legacy will we have on the future? How will we raise our kids and leave the world's 'elders' in future times. It may seem trivial, but when I say 'It depends on our societal expectations of the home', it means the world. It is how children are raised that will determine the future of our country, and as of now, we are going south in social development.
This modern society of PhD parenting, instead of common-sense parenting, is the culprit.


text: Meantime, Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, highlighted the recent strength in small-caps as a bullish indicator. Both the S&P 500 and SmallCap 600 have shown similar year-to-date appreciation through Friday but the small-caps had to make an impressive comeback over the summer. "Since June 1, however, the S&P SmallCap 600 Index has jumped 14.2% (it and six of its sector indices had recorded negative YTD performances through June 1), while its sectors have recorded price increases from as little as 6.7% for Utilities and 11.4% for Consumer Staples to greater than 20% gains for Energy and Telecom Services," he noted. "What's more, eight of the 10 S&P SmallCap 600 sectors are outpacing their large-cap siblings, except for Financials and Info Tech." Stovall said historical performance data is pointing toward a surge by the S&P 500 to the 1500-1550 range before the end of 2012. As for Tuesday, it's a light day for scheduled news with no standout earnings reports. Texas Instruments ( TXN) is slated to give its mid-quarter update though, and McDonald's ( MCD) is expected to provide its monthly sales report. The economic calendar features the National Federation of Independent Business small-business sentiment index at 7:30 a.m. ET; the ICSC-Goldman Sachs weekly retail sales index at 7:45 a.m. ET; and July trade balance data at 8:30 a.m. ET. The consensus view for the trade balance, according to Briefing.com, is for a deficit of $44 billion, slightly wider than June's deficit of $42.9 billion. And finally, Shuffle Master ( SHFL) was slumping in Monday's after-hours session after the Las Vegas gaming equipment supplier missed Wall Street's earnings expectations for its fiscal third-quarter results. The company posted a profit of $10.4 million, or 18 cents a share, on revenue of $63.4 million for the three months ended in July, up slightly from year-ago earnings of $9.1 million, or 17 cents a share, on revenue of $58.3 million. The average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters was for earnings of 20 cents a share in the quarter on revenue of $67.9 million. Shuffle Master shares were last quoted at $14.38, down 6.8%, on volume of nearly 450,000, according to Nasdaq.com.


text: 1. Salton the Wounds Another week of earnings season has gone by. You know what that means, of course: another story about a company allegedly stage-managing its quarterly conference call with Wall Street. On Monday, Daniel Loeb, CEO of hedge fund Third Point, sent an open letter of complaint to Leonhard Dreimann, CEO of struggling appliance marketer Salton ( SFP). Among the several accusations in Loeb's letter , one passage in particular caught our eye. Loeb, who says Third Point is one of Salton's two largest shareholders, said the company blocked him from speaking on Salton's Feb. 9 conference call, which came after the company reported disappointing results. Loeb further asserted that Ken Sgro, Salton's outside investor relations representative -- Loeb actually called him Dreimann's "lackey" -- "insult ed my intelligence by blaming the slight on 'a conference call administrator malfunction.'" Strong stuff. So on Thursday we called Sgro, who works at the investor relations firm CEOcast, to get his side of the story. Sgro told us he had no idea where Loeb got this insulting-the-intelligence story. "I never spoke with him personally," Sgro insisted. We called Loeb to double-check. "I stand by every word in that letter," said Loeb -- though he subsequently admitted that "conference call administrator malfunction" wasn't a direct quote but his own Janet Jackson-esque phrasing. During the call, said Loeb, he had spoken directly to the conference call administrator to check that he was in line to ask a question. "They said I was in the queue," he said. He had wanted to ask a number of questions about Salton's refinancing, its sales deterioration and what he calls the company's "bloated" operating expenses. But he never got the chance. Sgro "called me personally after the call, and he apologized," said Loeb. "I told him I didn't accept the apology." Hmm, we thought. Loeb has a clear memory of an apology from Sgro. But Sgro says it didn't happen. Odd, that. Prev 0 of 4 Next

Rush Limbaugh baselessly accused Sen. Carl Levin of being tainted by the Jack Abramoff scandal for accepting contributions from an Indian tribe. The newspaper articles Limbaugh cited to back up his claim offer no evidence linking Abramoff-directed contributions to Levin's efforts to obtain a federal grant for the tribe.
On the January 4 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh baselessly claimed that Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) is "tainted" by the Jack Abramoff scandal because he helped a Saginaw Chippewa Indian tribe -- an Abramoff client -- acquire educational money "[i]n exchange" for Abramoff-directed contributions. In fact, the articles Limbaugh cited to support this claim present no evidence linking Abramoff-directed contributions to a letter Levin and Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) wrote urging Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT), chairman of the Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies of the Committee on Appropriations, to approve the education funding. The Saginaw Chippewa tribe ultimately received a $3 million school grant, although the tribe had to be exempted from requirements otherwise rendering them ineligible for funding normally targeted at impoverished tribes.
According to Limbaugh, Levin "took thousands of dollars from Abramoff's firm" and, "[i]n exchange," the Saginaw Chippewa tribe "got a lot for their money, at least $3 million" because "Levin wrote a letter with Debbie Stabenow [D-MI] ... urging and pressuring Senator Conrad Burns's appropriations committee to give $3 million to the Saginaw Chippewas." To corroborate his claim, Limbaugh quoted the Helena (Montana) Independent Record and the Detroit Free Press, neither of which indicate that Levin's letter in any way resulted from money Levin received from Abramoff himself or from his former employers.
The Helena Independent Record article on which Limbaugh primarily relied to assert that money prompted Levin and Stabenow's letter actually addresses Ryan Thomas, a staffer for Burns whose alleged conduct surrounding the $3 million education grant has come under criticism. The article mentioned Levin and Stabenow once, quoting Thomas:
"I was one of many staffers whose jobs required us to make sure we were being responsive to the requests of senators before the subcommittee [on Interior and Related Agencies]. In this case (Michigan) Senators (Debbie) Stabenow and (Carl) Levin had expressed interest to the subcommittee and submitted a letter of request for the Saginaw school."
There is no other mention of either Levin or Stabenow in the article and no indication of whether or how money from Abramoff may have influenced their efforts on behalf of the Saginaw Chippewa tribe.
Limbaugh then claimed that the "Detroit Free Press says that Levin admits that he asked for the $3 million." The January 4 edition of the Free Press did report that Levin attempted to influence Burns's decision:
Democratic Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow and Rep. David Camp, R-Midland, have said they urged Burns to allow the tribe to get the school money. The tribe's casino is in Camp's district.
The article noted that Levin received $2,000 from the Saginaw Chippewas, but it does not link that funding to or make any statements about Levin's motivations for writing the letter. The article also reported that Levin received $5,000 from Greenberg Traurig LLP, Abramoff's employer at the time, but cited Levin spokesperson Tara Andringa as saying that the contributions "weren't connected to Abramoff or casinos." As the National Journal Hotline weblog noted, Greenburg Traurig, a legal and lobbying firm, operates a political action committee that "regularly gives money to members of both parties."
A spokesperson for Stabenow has also denied any connection between the letter and $4,000 in Saginaw Chippewa contributions (although the Associated Press, which reported the spokesperson's comments, reported Saginaw Chippewa contributions to Stabenow as $4,000, the Detroit Free Press totaled those contributions at $5,000). As Media Matters for America has documented, only Republicans received direct contributions from Abramoff.
From the January 4 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Apparently, the Detroit Free Press is reporting today that Carl Levin, Senator Carl Levin, Democrat, took thousands of dollars from Abrafobs -- Abramoff's firm back then, and -- and -- and from his client, this Saginaw Chippewa Indian tribe. In exchange for that, the Indian tribe got a lot for their money, at least $3 million. According to the Helena Independent Record, Levin wrote a letter with Debbie Stabenow, also a liberal Democrat U.S. senator from Michigan, urging and pressuring Senator Conrad Burns's appropriations committee to give $3 million to the Saginaw Chippewas, one of America's wealthiest tribes, which didn't need the money. Today's Droit -- Detroit Free Press says that Levin admits that he asked for the $3 million. OK, so Levin's gonna be tainted.

The midfielder has impressed in the Latics side after arriving from Hamilton Academicals in 2009 and Merseyside rivals Liverpool have already been heavily linked with the 21-year-old.
Everton boss David Moyes is on the look out for a new central midfielder and reports have claimed he could chance his arm with a bid when the transfer window re-opens.
Wigan will demand big money for the midfielder and they have proven on a number of occasions they are not prepared to be bullied into selling on the cheap by so called bigger clubs.
Chelsea were made to fight all the way for striker Victor Moses in the summer and Wigan eventually allowed him to move on once their valuation was met.
The same is likely to apply to McCarthy who will be reluctantly sold if the price is right.

Speaking about female empowerment, the 'Run the World (Girls)' singer says, 'I realized that one of my responsibilities was to inspire women in a deeper way.'
Girl power has taken on a whole new meaning for Beyonce Knowles ever since she visited Egypt and saw the way women are treated in the Middle East. Like Alicia Keys before her, the "Crazy in Love" hitmaker was touched and inspired by the beauty and culture of Egypt - but she was shocked by the little freedom women have there.
She tells Billboard magazine, "Once the sun went down, I saw not one woman; it was shocking and fascinating to me, because it was so extreme. I saw thousands of men walking down the street, socializing in bars, praying in mosques - and no women. I felt really proud when I performed and saw the strength that the women were getting through the music."
"I remember being in Japan when Destiny's Child put out 'Independent Women', and women there were saying how proud they were to have their own jobs, their own independent thinking, their own goals. It made me feel so good, and I realized that one of my responsibilities was to inspire women in a deeper way."

Male Teacher Fired For Asking A Female Student To Stuff A Pie Down His Pants
Edinburgh college professor Gavin Bradford was deemed "unfit to teach" by Scotland's General Teaching Council after allegedly asking a female student to shove a pie down his pants. With further investigation, the Council discovered that the 37-year-old performing arts lecturer at Coatbridge College had a history of inappropriate behavior with female students. While working at a college in Ontario, he was said to have asked more than 20 female college students to smear themselves in ketchup and eggs and pour sour milk into their underwear. He allegedly asked girls (some as young as 12) to participate in these food fetish acts late night, via webcam.
That is absolutely disgusting. I'm relieved to hear that he has lost his right to teach. While performance art occasionally includes the smearing of food on the body by one's self a la Karen Finley, there is absolutely no justification for this kind of lewd violation in the classroom or after hours. I guess that's why Bradford didn't show up to his hearing. [BBC]
