Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney is no complainer: Yes, the policies of the U.S. Federal Reserve have caused the Canadian dollar to rise uncomfortably high, but he says a stronger U.S. economy more than offsets the negatives. Still, he plays the game. "Markets sometimes lose their focus," he said in October, 2009, a not-so-subtle message to currency traders that he was prepared to make their bet that Canada's dollar could only go higher a losing one. He also has kept interest rates at 1 per cent or lower for more than four years, in part to offset the loonie's draw as a haven because of Canada's relatively solid finances and solid banking system.
Little New Zealand has no choice but to be nimble. It lacks the wherewithal to fight speculative capital flows by creating dollars. "We'd be out in the war zone with a peashooter," Finance Minister Bill English said in February. Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Graeme Wheeler has lowered interest rates, risking a housing bubble. He also said it would be a mistake to view the "kiwi" as a "one-way bet" to appreciate. That suggests he's willing to intervene to punish short-term speculators. But even Mr. Wheeler admits there's nothing he can do to stop the broader trend. "Given the strength of recent capital flows, we can only attempt to smooth the peaks," he said.
Nowhere are tensions higher. North Korea is threatening war. Exporting behemoths such as Samsung Electronics Co. and Kia Motors Corp. are getting hammered by a stronger won. And the government has loudly called on the central bank to weaken the currency. Yet Bank of Korea Governor Kim Choong Soo surprised many this week by leaving the benchmark interest rate unchanged, citing improving economic conditions and an imminent boost from fiscal stimulus. It is possible Mr. Kim is playing a game within a game by asserting his independence from the politicians. If so, it's a dangerous one. The South Korean economy has grown at an annual rate of less than 1 per cent for seven consecutive quarters dating back to the spring of 2011.
Finance Minister Guido Mantega is one of the wiliest players of the currency game. Move one: Declare a "currency war," deflecting blame he might take for a struggling economy. Move two: Engineer a near 20-per-cent depreciation in the real over two years through a slew of measures, including taxes on short-term capital, lower interest rates and intervention. Move three: Go to New York, as Mr. Mantega did in February, and declare that the "war" is over, at least for Brazil, where the economy is poised to grow about 3.5 per cent this year, compared with 1 per cent in 2012.
The Swiss National Bank is proving the critics wrong. In September 2011, the SNB pegged the franc to the euro, pledging to create an "unlimited" amount of money to buy foreign currencies. Critics said the Swiss central bank was setting a terrible precedent, courting inflation and instigating a trade war. None of that has happened. Thomas Jordan, the head of the Swiss national bank, said in February that his policies have "nothing to do with a currency war," and his neighbours believe him. Investors were so eager to flee the euro crisis by seeking safety in Switzerland that they would have crushed the country's export-driven economy. The SNB has staved off deflation and a recession, although its foreign reserves now are the equivalent of three quarters of gross domestic product.Report Typo/Error

2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Brandon Banks, WR, Kansas State
Brandon Banks is only 5-7 (and that might even be generous), but he is an explosive athlete who is a threat to score every time he touches the ball. For that reason Kansas State has made sure he touches the ball as often as possible. During his first year with the Wildcats, Banks was the team's top receiver, catching 67 passes for 1,049 yards and nine touchdowns. He also started to show his potential as a returner and returned a kick-off for a 98 yard touchdown. That was during Banks' junior season. His freshman and sophomore campaigns were spent at the junior college level. Heading into the 2009 campaign, NFL scouts wanted to see if Banks could keep it up and follow up his superb junior season with a solid senior campaign. Without Josh Freeman under center, Kansas State threw far less in 2009, but Banks still led the team with 56 receptions for 705 yards. However, this time he only caught one touchdown pass. In order to get Banks more involved, he also carried the ball 11 times and averaged ten yards per attempt. However, it is his kick returning that makes Banks a draftable player. During the 2009 regular season, Banks returned four of his 39 kick-offs for a touchdown. He is not as effective of a punt returner, but he is certainly more than capable of being one at the next level. 3/24 Update: Banks' return abilities still make him an intriguing option in the upcoming draft. The comparisons to fellow former Kansas State player Darren Sproles do not hurt. Of course Banks is a wide receiver, but both are short speedsters who can score every time they touch the ball. Banks may get drafted for his special team abilities, but he needs to work on his receiving skills (especially his route running) before he can be any NFL team's third or fourth receiver.

Prediction: Undrafted
Too small to be worth a draft pick, only brings return game ability,which his size might negate in the NFL>

FROM THE PUBLISHER >> Disabled vet celebrates successors
He signed up for the Army when he was 16 I lied about my age, he admits and was 24 years old when he was hit, and hes been in pain for 38 years. You can only imagine his injuries almost his whole body was ripped up, and he seems disabled along much of his left side but Davis never complains. He has a great attitude and likes to laugh and joke and help others.
He enjoyed the Saturday show the Singing Sergeants, backed by a jazzy combo, sang American pop classics (Irving Berlins Blue Skies, Harry Warrens Chattanooga Choo-Choo), and when they did America the Beautiful, the audience stood up, and so did Davis, with some difficulty, and there was hardly a dry eye in the house. When the awards were announced, Davis was especially proud of Senior MSgt. Darren Hill, who is serving overseas and who was named first sergeant of the year.
Davis has known Hill for a long time, and Hills wife, Tammy and two young sons, Tyler and Aaron, accepted the award for him.
When Sgt. Davis was in Vietnam, he was about the same age as the people getting their awards Saturday night. Davis company was on patrol near Chulai in South Vietnam on July 12, 1969. Theyd had frequent firefights with the Viet Cong and captured several of them that summer. Four companies would take turns out in the field, he recalls. Wed find the Viet Cong and take them back to Chulai.
He remembers one of his company commanders was from Arkansas, whod split them up in separate groups, which Davis didnt think was a good idea, but youre not going to argue with a commanding officer. But Davis was still in one piece, and he was hoping hed see his wife and son back home soon. Davis was supposed to leave Vietnam in a couple of days. He figured this would be his last patrol, only he didnt know how right he would be about that.
The companys orders were to stay clear of trees, where the VC planted explosives with detonators on the ground. Around 7 p.m. when it was still light outside, someone stepped on a detonator that was wired to explosives in a nearby tree. When it exploded, it killed six and injured 28 G.I.s, along with several South Vietnamese out on patrol with the Americans. There were enough casualties to fill a couple of helicopters, Davis remembers.
When the bomb hit me, it felt like a bell over my head, he continues. I knew I was hit. It got my whole left side. His injuries spread all over his body, including his spinal cord, which wasnt severed, though. I was one of the last flown out. I was worried they thought I was dead, he says. Once he was in the helicopter, Davis was hoping the chopper crew would realize he was still alive. Hed open his eyes, then close them again.
I couldnt move, Davis said. I blacked out again for a while. Fortunately, he woke up in a hospital, then was flown to another hospital in Japan. He received more treatment at the Veterans Hospital in Richmond, Va. Months of therapy followed. He was finally released in December 1969. I still have shrapnel in my neck, Davis says.
Despite his disability, Davis says, I really enjoyed the military. I was going down the wrong path when I joined up. Hes 62 years old now, and he considers himself fortunate, considering how many of his buddies didnt come home. Hes been a Sherwood alderman for eight years and does more volunteer work than most people half his age. I feel better than Ive felt in years, Davis says. Ive got to stay busy. Its been a long day, and he says, I sure do feel tired.

CBS Focuses Carl Bernstein on Personal Side of Hillary's 'Great American Life'
Carl Bernstein's new biography of Hillary Clinton has been attacked for being too "nasty" (according to Barbara Walters), but in an interview in the second half-hour of Tuesday's Early Show, he sounded more like a Hillary supporter, defending her "great love affair" with Bill and describing his book as the first whole portrait of "this epic life, this great American life," the story of "a huge persona." Early Show host Harry Smith had no interest in Hillary's role in policy-making, focusing Bernstein only on the messy Clinton marriage and why she stayed with the president.
Smith began: "The top three Democratic presidential candidates met last night at a forum on religion, a very familiar subject to Senator Hillary Clinton. Faith has always been a huge part of her life."
Smith didn't note the event was a liberal event, thrown by the group Sojourners, to insist that Democrats are just as religious as Republicans, or note how Hillary's strong faith matched what Bernstein found was her "F--- 'em" attitude toward people who stood in the way of her ambitions.
He continued:
SMITH: Carl Bernstein reveals that and much more in his new biography of Hillary Clinton, 'A Woman In Charge.' And Carl Bernstein is with us this morning. I want to get to the faith aspect of her life in just a moment. [He never did.] But few people have lived as public a life as she has. You've spent seven years assembling this book. What is the most important thing you've been able to take away from this research?
BERNSTEIN: That she is a whole person, a fascinating person whose never really been seen in the whole, until I was able to do this book, and once you see the picture of this epic life, this great American life, you say oh, this is the best-known woman in the world and I knew nothying really about who she was, and there are all these facets and there's all this drama and there's all this internal warring going on, and you find out about her religion and you find out about her family and growing up with a father who abused her mother, humiliated her mother, verbally, ini a marriage where a lot of people thought her mother ought to walk out on the marriage. You find a life totally in struggle not to be known. That's the real thing. Well, that is partly the story of her life, is camouflage. So what we've tried to do in this book, I've succeeded, I think, from what the reviewers seem to think, is to remove the camouflage and what you get is a huge persona."
At this point, you can think the superlatives might not be so much praise for Hillary Clinton (although it certainly sounds positive) as sales language for why this book and its subject are worth dropping some cash on. But anyone who spins the Clinton marriage as a great love affair that we can never truly understand from outside it is reading from the Clinton talking-points manual:
SMITH: Let me ask you this. This woman is smart. She's clearly so ambitious. I think the thing that so many people in the country wonder about, when they look at her, is why she's stayed with the president?
BERNSTEIN: First, it's a great love affair, in its way, however dysfunctional you or I might judge it. Second of all, these are two people who believe in a commitment to public service and they've followed it as a unit, as it were.
SMITH: That trumps personal relationship?
BERNSTEIN: Look, I think that, first of all, nobody can be inside a marriage except the two people themselves, but more important than that is the fact that they have a purpose in life together, a family, and more than that. She has been, since her childhood, told by her mother, told by others, you do not get divorced in this family. And a big part of this saga is a family saga, and both of these people come from rather unusual families, so there's a kind of epic sweep to this tale.
If Smith were a trouble-maker, he could easily point out that Hillary's brother Tony divorced his wife Nicole, the daughter of Sen. Barbara Boxer, so apparently the Rodham family isn't completely dead-set against divorce. Bernstein and Smith did then turn into the author's findings that the Clintons almost divorced on the cusp of the 1990s over his affair with Marilyn Jo Jenkins. But it didn't happen, and sadly, Bernstein even forwards the patently unbelievable claim that Hillary didn't believe Bill had an affair with Monica Lewinsky:
SMITH: I guess if she wasn't going to leave then [after the Jenkins affair], and when he wanted out, she probably wasn't going to leave later, I mean, once that commitment is made.
BERNSTEIN: Again, I think that's speculative and also I think in the White House, leaving the marriage in the midst of the Lewinsky denouement would have been, I think, kind of unthinkable. Moreover, remember, she believed, one of things that's in here, is how she alone, in her family even, believed that Bill Clinton had not had a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky. But it's not a book about sex. There's only two or three women mentioned in it. No sexual acts are mentioned. It's a biography.
As Brent Bozell wrote yesterday, Bernstein appearing at 7:40 on a Tuesday morning isn't as impressive as Bob Woodward's big, splashy "60 Minutes" interviews. But Smith didn't criticize Bernstein for an anti-Hillary animus or for nosing around in their personal affairs, so it could have been worse.

Have Toyota Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi, welcome to Just Answer.
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX about 500 different engine performance codes that can be set by the engine computer, 1/2 of those pertaining to ignition, air and fuel problems. Rarely will a simple tune up (replacing spark plugs, fuel filter, etc) take care of these code(s). At such a low mileage it sounds like you may have a Ignition malfunction or MAF sensor concern. I would need the exact code number to be sure what area of the engine is failing. If the check engine light has been cleared and has not returned yet, you'll need to drive it some more before the lamp re illuminates and you can get these codes, but if it is still on, they can pull them again. From your description of the problem it sure sounds like a MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor) failure, but since the check engine lamp illumination takes priority on diagnostics, I would need those codes first before we could proceed.
Thanks...P0172 indicates the engine is running too rich (too much fuel, low engine compression, etc). P0300 is a code stating a randome missfire is happening to two or more engine cylinders. Both codes are commonly the result of a faulty MAF sensor. You may have a ruptured fuel pressure regulator, so the fuel pressure should be tested first. Also, I've had luck cleaning these MAF's as well, you can remove it from the air cleaner housing vis the two tamperproof screws, than using MAF or nonresidue electrical cleaner you can spray down the 3 tiny sensor wires. If the code returns, I would replace the MAF and see if problem continues. The MAF is correctly tested through the use of an automotive lab scope.

Anyone even remotely aware of our Nation's politics over the last half century knows that the Southern Strategy – the republican effort to wrest voters from the democratic party through overt appeals to white racial resentment – has left an indelible mark on both major political parties and on American politics in general. Once considered the "Solid South" because of its consistency in voting for democrats, the southern states – perhaps with the exception of Florida and Virginia – today are all red. Republican voters proudly bear the flag and the sentiments of a morally bankrupt confederacy that the very founders of their party fought against. Though unfortunately of no surprise given their behavior over the last 50 years, republican-controlled legislatures and statehouses across the country have adopted the Jim Crow voter suppression tactics embraced by avowed racists who were once consistently democrat.
Lincoln weeps and Eisenhower spins in his grave.
In Ohio, republicans attempted to expand the hours for early voting in the suburbs while decreasing the hours in urban areas where black and Latino voters live. In the face of justified backlash they since settled for cutting back hours in all areas. Doug Preisse, Chairman of the Franklin County republican party, was explicit about GOP intentions:
"I guess I really actually feel we shouldn't contort the voting process to accommodate the urban—read African-American—voter-turnout machine."
In Pennsylvania, republican officials have specifically stated that their voter suppression efforts were put in place to benefit Mitt Romney. Their efforts so far have been upheld by the Commonwealth Court. In Florida's first round of voter purges, over 98% of purged Dade County voters actually turned out to be eligible and in spite of the fact that Latinos are 13 percent of the population, they were 58% of the purged voters. The state's restrictions on voter registration have taken a toll, with democratic registrations, traditionally driven by African-Americans, are down 235,000 relative to 2008. Across the country, republican legislatures are stripping the vote away from elderly women who have been voting all of their lives. Men who fought for this country have no idea that republicans have rendered their current voter registration null and void. In spite of report after report after report confirming that the voter fraud targeted by voter ID and other legislation is virtually non-existent, republicans across the country have elevated the stanching of alleged voter fraud to a top three priority perhaps behind controlling women's uteri and putting an assault weapon in every household. In state after state after state, republicans themselves confirm that voter ID and similar affronts to voting address a problem that does not actually exist. There is no debating whatsoever the certainty that voter ID and similar republican-led efforts around the country are nothing more than Jim Crow shenanigans dressed up for a new century. Thus republicans in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and other states are no better than the scum-sucking, knuckle-dragging, troglodyte, piece of crap racists from an era that many erroneously thought was long dead and gone. As with all challenges presented by those committed to disenfranchising people of color, the real question is not whether they are engaging in race-based skullduggery. The real question is:
What do we do about it?
To be sure, Attorney General Eric Holder has committed the Justice Department to a heroic effort to protect the sanctity of the constitutional right to equal protection under the law with respect to the vote. He has worked to block those states – like South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia – whose history of institutional racism place their electoral activities under the purview of the Voting Rights Act. He has challenged the efforts of republican officials in other states engaged in disenfranchisement of their own citizens. For his "uppity" stance in favor of the broad application of constitutional rights, he is now the only Attorney General in the history of the United States to have been found in contempt of Congress by a republican caucus that can be only charitably described as utterly contemptuous themselves – a fine example of upholding-the-United-States-Constitution while black. The Attorney General is doing his part.
We must all do ours.
I submit that our ancestors – those who litigated, who marched, who fought, who bled and who died for the rights current generations sometimes seem to take for granted – are screaming from their homes, their offices, their classrooms and their graves for this generation to take action. We cannot sit by and have the Attorney General fight our battle by himself, even if he has the resources of the Justice Department with which to do it. Much work needs to be done on the ground – precinct by precinct – to render republican efforts as impotent as they are un-American. In a recent sermon, Rev. Dr. Raphael Gamaliel Warnock, Senior Pastor of Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church, correctly pointed out that black people didn't just sit back and accept Ephesians 6:5 ("slaves obey your masters"). Black people read Exodus too and in so doing may have saved Christianity in America itself. He shared that black people took unwanted scraps and created Soul Food. He correctly pointed out that black people turned "the Blues" into an art form. What do we tell these people about current republican attempts to nullify their dreams and our reaction to those attempts?
Do we tell them that we did nothing?
Do we tell them that we let President Obama and Attorney General Holder fight that battle for us?
What will we say when we meet our ancestors and they ask us "What did you do?"
Its time to get to work.
We will be doing ourselves and our ancestors a grave disservice if we do not render republican voter suppression efforts completely impotent by registering – under the new voter ID laws – record numbers of voters. In every state that has implemented these new Jim Crow voting laws, each of us should be adopting at least five people – youth, elderly, recently incarcerated, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera – and making sure that they are registered and that they get to the polls. Those of us who live in solidly blue states should be in contact with family and friends in purple and red states to get everyone registered and voting. We should be taking full advantage of whatever early voting facilities are available, to the point that news outlets marvel at the sheer volume of votes that have occurred prior to November 6th. Community and grass-roots organizations should be imploring each Secretary of State office to work with those voters whose current information does not match their birth certificate by virtue of a long-ago marriage or other name-changing circumstance. We must render the new-century republican Jim Crow effort a disappointing waste of time by creating a tsunami of new voters.
This is bigger than an Obama second term, folks. Republicans have laid down a gauntlet and we do ourselves, our ancestors and our children a grave disservice if we don't pick up that gauntlet and smack them across their collective faces with it, as hard as we possibly can. If Attorney General Holder is successful in compelling a judiciary chock full of republican appointees to protect the Constitution, then all the better. But that should not be the only front on which this battle is fought. We should be letting republicans know that if they want to win, then they need to exert their energies toward sharing with us their vision for America and our place in it instead of embracing shortcut, anti-American and near treasonous activities such as disenfranchising voters. So far, republicans are bound and determined to drive themselves to extinction, sinking into the tar pit of their own deeply-felt and well-practiced bigotries. I don't mind helping them with that, but I don't think that they should be allowed to take America down with them.
We must render republican Jim Crow-era disenfranchisement efforts a completely wasted effort because of the incrementally voter registrations created afterwards. Anything less would be tantamount to tolerating institutional tyranny.

Thus, it came about that Mrs. Laue's red plush furniture once more cast a fiery glow upon Lilly's life.
Mrs. Laue immediately became Lilly's confidante and counsellor.
The framed lamp shade greeted her as if the future she had to pass at Mrs. Laue's side was greeting her.
If you want, return to your Mrs. Laue to-morrow, and it will be as if nothing happened.
The old friendship between Mrs. Laue and Lilly had never wholly died down.
Mrs. Laue's boldest prophecies seemed about to be fulfilled.
Having inherited taste and talent for everything artistic she soon outstripped Mrs. Laue.
Mrs. Laue, who during the weeks of Lilly's truancy had maintained glum silence, took again to depicting seductive futures.
She also purchased a box of paints, and while Mrs. Laue clasped her hands in dismay, she set to painting bravely.
"Mrs. Laue will hide them for me, and she can keep them afterwards," she thought.

Published: February 13, 2013 - 9:47AM
Britain's royal family on Tuesday expressed disappointment after an Italian magazine said it would print paparazzi pictures of Prince William's wife Catherine showing her pregnant belly.
St James's Palace said the move by Chi magazine, which is owned by former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, breached the royal couple's right to privacy.
"We are disappointed that photographs of the Duke and Duchess on a private holiday look likely to be published overseas," a St James's Palace spokeswoman said in a statement.
"This is a clear breach of the couple's right to privacy."
A preview of the cover of Chi magazine, shown on the website of its publisher Mondadori, shows Kate and William in swimwear on a beach on the holiday island of Mustique.
Over a picture of the former Kate Middleton in a blue bikini walking through shallow waters, the headline says: "The belly grows."
It is understood that the magazine has also run pictures of Kate's sister Pippa who is on holiday with the Royal couple and the rest of the Middleton family including her parents Carole and Michael.
Chi is infamous for running salacious paparazzi shots that few other publications will touch, including a number of Royal 'exclusives' that have caused international outrage.
The couple are expecting their first child in July. Kate, 31, was admitted to hospital in December with severe morning sickness but is now said to be recovering.
Britain's royal family launched legal action last year against French magazine Closer over topless paparazzi pictures of Catherine sunbathing in bikini bottoms on the balcony of a chateau in France.

US Trade Secretary Carols Gutierrez stressed that economic reforms made by Saudi Arabia will help diversify the kingdom's economy and boost economic development.
Gutierrez pointed out the wise management of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, according to <i> Asharq Al-Awsat</i>.
"Saudi Arabia's reforms have already brought positive changes to the economy as a whole. Further progress will continue strengthening and diversifying the Saudi economy," Gutierrez added.
The trade secretary said that the oil sector would continue to represent a large portion of the economy, but that "Saudi Arabia can develop in a more stable and diversified way."
He added that Saudi Arabia WTO accession is the crowning achievement of continuing efforts on the part of the kingdom to modernize and strengthen its economy.

Best Funds: iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM)
In speaking with a friend who used to manage one of the best emerging-market mutual funds, she believes the emerging market selloff is overdone, and that there is fabulous long-term value here. I tend to agree … but I only had a small mutual fund position in emerging markets, so I've added the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM).
EEM gives you exposure to a number of emerging markets, though it's most heavily weighted in China (18%), South Korea (15.9%), Taiwan (12.2%) and Brazil (10.6%). It's also got more than a quarter of its holdings in financials and another 17% in information technology, so as long as you're comfortable with those heavy sector leans, you're fine.
Top holdings include Samsung (SSNLF), Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) and Tencent Holdings (TCEHY).
EEM charges 0.67% in fees.

What I Did On my Summer Vacation...
A few pictures form our Colorado Vacation. The first three are of our visit to the Manitou Springs Cave Dwellings near Colorado Springs. The temperature was around 95 degrees. However, it was much cooler inside the dwellings. I found it fascinating to walk through each room and imagine what life was like for the people who lived here.
The last picture on the right is taken at the Garden of the Gods, just a few miles for the cave dwellings. We were too zapped by the heat to walk through them. So we just drove the loop and stopped periodically so I could take pictures.
Being from a mostly green colored state, I found the red rocks strikingly beautiful.

To that end, the following points are things I think Pandora a) should do, b) probably isn't doing, but c) if I am wrong and they are, I will eat my words with a massive side of wasabi (I love sushi, but hate wasabi) and reassess my now decidedly bearish case:
- Buy Ticketfly. I wrote about this last year. Subsequently, I met with Ticketfly and Pandora on the issue. I discovered that Ticketfly seemed more than willing to talk and that, indeed, some bankers were trying to get the two sides together. Nothing came of it that I know of. That's sad because Ticketfly/Pandora is a match made in heaven.
- Aggressively move into the concert space. In one, maybe two, of the above-linked "here" articles, I get into how Apple (AAPL) could snap up this space with a tiny sliver of its cash and box Pandora out. If you read my case for buying Ticketfly, it's pretty easy to connect the dots, put two and two together, pull yourself back up onto the turnip truck and see the (pardon the annoying buzzwords) synergies. Ticketfly is in the process of crushing Live Nation Entertainment's (LYV) Ticketmaster. I'm not sure why Pandora would not want to be party to that action.
- Use its treasure trove of data to do more than sell obvious advertising products. I don't want to poo-poo Pandora's advertising business. Because it remains prolific and better than anything broadcast radio can offer. However to almost solely focus your data efforts on a business that's likely slowing (some say it already is) makes absolutely no sense, particularly when opportunities in data abound. Again, click the "heres" for more color on this.
- Be a better partner to the music industry. I soured only slightly on Pandora when it decided to fight the royalty battle in court. With its data, Pandora could win the war on content costs with sweet sugar, not what have become shallow legal motions. No, Pandora is not paying too little to license content. That's a misnomer. It's providing exposure to artists whose work never would have seen the light of day without Internet radio ...
(I had to jump from the bullet points for this ...)
That said, it owes these artists -- and the music industry as a whole -- something bigger, better and more meaningful than "exposure." The "exposure" argument gets sort of old after you have floated it in everybody's face for like 5-6 years.
Pardon the caps -- bold nonetheless -- but I'm past the point of infuriation on this.
Pandora should be making its data available -- for a fee -- in realtime to the music industry as well as brands who can use it to do a whole host of things.
The music industry can learn so much about who and what to sell where and when with access to the historical and in-the-moment information Pandora has, but refuses to share in any meaningful way.
Why hasn't Pandora done a deal with the major labels to give them open access to data? Why haven't we seen the company engage its haters (e.g., MusicFirst, Blake Morgan, who the heck ever) to form a union where Pandora's artist dashboard data can, finally, see grand scale dissemination.
Pandora made sure it's ability to predict your political affiliation made the rounds of regurgitating news organizations. Of course, none of the outlets that printed that story -- like it was straight from a company press release -- said, OK, so you can use your data to sell really targeted political ads (which will suck to hear as a listener), but, if you have this amazing capability to predict things about people, why aren't you putting it to work for the music industry, bands and brands beyond glorified radio spots?
We didn't see that once in the media. They just ran with the cute story -- Pandora can predict if you're a Democrat or Republican. But did it ever dawn on the media to ask Pandora some critical questions to make the story richer, a bit more informative and worth the reader's time?
I mean if Pandora can analyze its data to best target political ads on the basis of predicting listener preferences, don't you think it could provide datasets to ad agencies, individual brands and various cogs of the music industry so that they, too, can harness the power of data to make their own predictions and finally unleash the far-reaching and, to this point, stifled marketing power of music.
Bottom line -- I could go on all day about what Pandora should be doing, which doubles as what they're not, to my knowledge, doing. And I will in articles to follow this one over the next several weeks. But, at this juncture, you get the point.
Sell the stock -- or, at the very least, don't get too greedy or risky with it -- until you see signs Pandora is going to seize the massive opportunity in front of it, that it created itself. Opportunity that stems from its size, scale and, most importantly, the data other companies (such as Twitter (TWTR)) would/are put/putting to much better use in the interest of the industries they purport to love and the shareholders they purport to serve.

A low-budget documentary about a group of John Hughes fans who travel to suburban Illinois in search of the reclusive film-maker is to reach a wider audience following Hughes's death last week.
Variety reports that the 75-minute Don't You Forget About Me – it's named after the Simple Minds song in Hughes's The Breakfast Club – has been picked up for worldwide distribution by Montreal-based Alliance Films. The documentary follows Canadian director Matt Austin-Sadowski and his producers Kari Hollend, Mike Facciolo and Lenny Panzer as they set off on a road trip to find Hughes.
The man behind Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles had largely turned his back on Hollywood in the past decade to become a farmer in the midwestern state of Illinois. His final film as a director was 1991's mawkish Curly Sue, although he continued to write screenplays, a number of which under his nom de plume of Edmond Dantes.
Austin-Sadowski, 31, said Hughes's films inspired him through an awkward adolescence. "He took affairs of the heart very seriously, and no other director gave teenagers that sort of treatment at that time," he said.
He added that he hoped the distribution deal finalised on Friday would translate into renewed interest in Hughes's films. "That's what's important to us," he said. "It's not the deal. It's not more exposure for us."
The film-makers interviewed Brat Pack stars Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Mia Sara and Andrew McCarthy for the documentary, but Hughes' early muse, Molly Ringwald, reportedly refused to take part.
Hughes died on Thursday at the age of 59 after suffering a heart attack while in New York.

Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Taylor Armstrong: I Would Love to Do All-Star Season
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong says she's on board if Bravo ever launches an all-star edition of its hit franchise.
"Love it — that's such a great idea," she said on Thursday, July 19 at the Teen Choice Awards' KISS FM gift lounge. The event was held at the W Hotel in Westwood, Calif.
So who would be included in the 38-year-old's dream cast?
"It would be my [Beverly Hills] girls!" she said. "I also adore NeNe [Leakes of Atlanta], and I'm friendly with Gretchen [Rossi of Orange County]. I like Caroline Manzo [of New Jersey]. There are a lot of great ones out there."
Those certainly include all the women from the franchise's OC edition, which Armstrong has been following faithfully.
"I enjoyed [The Real Housewives] of OC, and I really enjoyed the reunion, that's for sure," she said. "We all see each other at events; I care about how they are doing."
As RHOBH fans know all too well, tragedy struck Armstrong when her ex-husband Russell Armstrong committed suicide in August 2011. The show depicted Armstrong – who has a daughter, five-year-old Kennedy, with Russell — in what appeared to be an abusive marriage. Today, she's trying to use her pain to help others: She serves as the national spokesperson for National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
In fact, Armstrong told us that she'll be speaking in support of the coalition this Sunday in Denver.
She'll enjoy some much-needed levity after that.
"I'm going to take a little vacation with Kennedy before school starts for her," said Armstrong. "I love summer because she gets to play and have fun, and I get to play and have fun with her."

Ground Water
Ground Water
Utilization of Ground WaterAll water supplies in the County with the exception of a small amount of irrigation water and some stock-water supplies are obtained from ground-water sources. Water use for many purposes cannot be determined accurately, for many ground-water users do not keep accurate records of pumpage. The magnitude of potential ground-water withdrawals can be judged to some extent by the quantity of water for which water rights have been approved or are pending approval by the State. A tabulation of water rights by use is given in Table 11.
Table 11--Volume of ground-water rights by use in Sedgwick
County, Kansas, approved or pending approval by the State (1960).
*One acre-foot = 325,850 gallons.
**Water rights are not required for domestic water supplies. Amount given here is an estimate.
Water rights for public supply are normally several times greater than the average rate of use. Peak water demands of short duration normally exceed average use by 2 to 3 times and some allowance is made for increased use due to normal growth of urban areas. The average use of water for public supply in Sedgwick County is about 26 percent of the water rights that have been approved or are pending approval.
Public Water Supplies
Eight cities and nine improvement districts in the County provide municipal water service for about 90 percent of the population. The location of the cities and improvement districts providing municipal water service and the areas served are shown on Figure 27. Table 12 gives data on each water system. The peak water demands experienced by these water systems are not shown on Table 12 but are commonly 2 to 3 times the average daily demand.
Figure 27--Map of Sedgwick County, Kansas, showing cities and improvement districts providing municipal water service. A larger version of this figure is available.
Figure 28--Map showing location of Wichita "Equus-beds" and "Bentley reserve" well fields and pipelines from these fields. (Well-field names are those used by the Wichita Water Department.) A larger version of this figure is available.Figure 29--Map showing location of Wichita "local" well field. A larger version of this figure is available.
Wichita in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation began construction in 1962 of a dam on the North Fork Ninnescah River to impound water mainly as a supplemental water supply for the city. The dam is located in sec. 6, T 27 S, R 4 W, about 25 miles west of the water treatment plant. A 60-inch pipeline will deliver the water to the plant for treatment and distribution. When completed the reservoir will have a firm yield of 38 mgd.
Industrial Supplies
Sedgwick County is the most heavily industrialized area of the State, and industry is the greatest single user of water. Water demand by industries does not fluctuate as greatly as that for public supply and irrigation.
Water use by industry is believed to be about 53,000 acre-feet per year. Of this Quantity, about 45,300 acre-feet is self-supplied and from 7 to 8 thousand acre-feet is supplied by the Wichita water system to industries located in the city. The water supplied to industry by the city is about 25 percent of the water produced by the city system. The largest use of water by industry is for power generation (steam boilers) and in all cases recirculation of the water is practiced. Wichita could supply an additional 30 mgd to industry in excess of peak demands on the city water system.
Irrigation Supplies
Irrigation with ground water has been practiced to a limited extent in Sedgwick County for many years, mostly as supplemental irrigation to provide needed water for crops during growth periods. The drought years from 1952 through 1956 caused a rapid expansion of irrigation in the County. Most irrigation remains supplemental in nature and results in a large fluctuation from year to year in the use of ground water for this purpose. Records of pumpage for irrigation are very sparse, but water rights have been approved or are pending approval by the State (1960) for 30,200 acre-feet of ground water to irrigate about 15,000 acres. Irrigation by flooding and by sprinkler methods are both practiced, the method used being determined by the topography and by the quantity of water available in the area to be irrigated.
Rural Domestic Supplies
Most rural domestic and stock water supplies in Sedgwick County are obtained from wells. Ponds are used in parts of the County to supply stock water, but most of the ponds that provide a perennial water supply are constructed on small spring-fed streams or have been excavated below the water table. The amount of ground water used for rural domestic supplies is not known but is estimated to be about 5,500 acre-feet per year. About 2,500 acre-feet of the total is from private wells in Wichita that are used principally for lawn and garden irrigation, but which are also used to some extent for domestic supply. Ground water is generally available in quantities adequate for domestic supplies in all parts of the County, and in those areas where the water is obtained from bedrock, the quality is commonly poor, but the water is usable.

I have been using m0n0wall for a while. I have never had to enter two rules in the way you describe.
I believe reason a) is to blame. I have always just entered a rule on the Inbound NAT page and
checked the "auto add firewall rule" box.
When you say you have to enter two rules, are you referring to having to add the NAT rule and the
firewall rule? If so, without checking the "auto add firewall rule" when you create the Inbound NAT
rule, you are correct you will need to add a firewall rule separately.

Church doesn't bend, but endures
Media look for scandals, seek gospel of change
The press is outraged. Why? Because the Roman Catholic Church might (once again) select as its pope someone who is actually Catholic, and who does not share the political sensibilities of The New York Times editorial board.
Laughable as this is, media response to the surprise announcement Monday by Pope Benedict XVI that he plans to resign the papacy was highly predictable.

Subject: Persons fron NY State
Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 07:47:20 EST
Hello All,
I have come across several families which have their roots in New York State
which I have not been able to find. I believe that they all lived in NY in
1850 and left for other parts of the country before 1860. One family was
Stephen S. HILL and his wife Sallie WELCH who left NY for IL in about 1860.
Stephen's parents were Stephen HILL and Laura SPENCER. They remained in NY.
Another person was Adis KILPATRICK. He was married in Traverse City, MI in
1866. His wife was Sarah M. SILSBY. Sarah is listed the 1860 Census of
Leelanau County, MI with her parents who were Sidney A. SILSBY and Nancy.
Sidney was born in NY in 1821, Nancy in 1816.
Does any one have any information on any of these families?

Many of us got the ASS recode because it meant that hitting the Sport rocker was the only thing to remember to do before driving off. Without it, you need to hit ASS off and Sport on which is double the inconvenience. Sounds trivial, but it adds up especially if you take numerous short trips each day.
Keep in mind that Comfort is also the anti-nausea mode. Sport gives you rocket-like blasting power which can make wife/kids seasick, especially in traffic. Makes the accelerator a hair-trigger, takes no effort to launch. A great feature when driving solo, with passengers, different story.
sounds good to me.
Another reason why I love the manual transmission, you can shift when you want.
Unlike you wife, mine loves cars and I have to remind her when we get this ride she needs to take it easy. Hell she is as excited as I am to have a manual car again. She already knows about the different settings, her first comment is why do they have an eco setting on a 335i.
Damn too bad about not remembering the last setting. I think this is a mistake BMW is making, they should have it part of the drivers profile, like seat and mirror settings.

Biddies' cast of wise, vibrant women will have you feeling as though you have walked into a room of your nanna's friends, only with double the energy and triple the cheek.
The actors play five elderly women who have found themselves at their infants school reunion, where they share confessions, rivalries and teasing for the first time since they left their classroom doors.
After seeing the women rehearse together, it is obvious the stage chemistry is as prevalent as their sense of humour.
The cast includes Maggie Blinco, Annie Byron, Vivienne Garrett, Julie Hudspeth, Donna Lee and Linden Wilkinson. Between them they have graced our screens on Looking for Alibrandi, The Sullivans, McLeod's Daughters and Blue Heelers.
When asked whether they miss the television cameras, Maggie Blinco said: ''When you do a film or television, you do the work and that's it. But theatre is very rewarding, the audience is right there and you get to see them laugh.''
The play opened last night as the budget was released. However, the women were not worried about competing with old politicians for Canberra audiences. ''We're a lot funnier than the budget,'' one said.
The obvious question after observing the women affectionately tease each other was whether they were cast because they had previously worked with one another.
Producer Christine Dunstan said: ''They were cast with the [criteria of the] best actress for the role in mind.''
An added feeling of companionship was just a bonus.
The play is touring across Australia and when asked if there have been any arguments, Blinco replied: ''At the moment we still get on.''
Biddies is playing at The Street Theatre, Childers Street, Acton, until Saturday, at 7.30pm, with a matinee on Saturday at 2pm.

Hillary: What? It's silver — it's my formal butterfly clip. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in town!
Guy: Girl, seriously, that is a bad look.
Hillary: You try being Secretary of State and scheduling a haircut. The clip stays.
Guy: What. Ever.

Seminar and Workshop Series
Call for Transdisciplinary Challenge Fellows
2014 Theme: LANGUAGE
Deadline has passed
Application Deadline: Friday, January 31, 2014
With ongoing funding from Chancellor Michael Lovell and the Graduate School, the Center for 21st Century Studies' Transdisciplinary Challenge Program encourages collaborative research projects that bring together UWM researchers from our traditional constituencies in the humanities, arts, and humanistic social sciences with researchers from natural, physical, and quantitative social sciences. The program aims to directly support transdisciplinary research but also to provide models for how researchers from across disciplines that do not have a history of collaboration can work together to meet the complex, heterogeneous challenges of the 21st century.
To this end, C21 is seeking applications from UWM faculty and academic staff from across the university to participate in a one-semester seminar. This seminar is meant to bring together researchers from different disciplines and different methodological perspectives working on a common topic or problem in order to further transdisciplinary knowledge of that topic, and to promote transdisciplinary collaboration and research across UWM.
Theme for Fall 2014: LANGUAGE
It is hard to imagine many topics more suitable to transdisciplinary inquiry and investigation than language. Although in the disciplinary taxonomy of universities language traditionally belongs to the humanities disciplines (Linguistics, English, Foreign Languages, Philosophy, or Translation), the concept of language is of great interest across the social and management sciences: think, for example, of historical, sociological, anthropological, and political investigations of language and its implications; psychologists study the acquisition of language and its role in interpersonal relations; marketing, business, and advertising all pursue the ways in which language operates in the world of commerce and exchange. Language is similarly of interest to natural and physical scientists: biologists study the role of language (verbal and non-verbal) in animal behavior; neurologists study the ways in which language operates within the brain; geneticists study the language of genes in DNA coding; mathematicians think of numbers as another form of language; computers work with machine language; and so forth.
The seminar will be made up of eight to ten members who will meet weekly for 90 minutes to pursue the study of language from a transdisciplinary perspective. Faculty participants' home departments will receive $3500 to buy each seminarian out of teaching one course in the Fall semester. For academic staff, C21 will work with participants on a case-by-case basis. Each participant will be expected to recommend readings from their own discipline/methodological perspective for one seminar meeting. Researchers from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds from outside the seminar and outside UWM will also be brought in to lead some of the seminar meetings.
UWM faculty and academic staff actively engaged in work or research on language are invited to apply. Although not required of participants, one aim of the seminar will be to foster the formation of transdisciplinary research collaborations that will lead to the submission of grant proposals for future Transdisciplinary Challenge Award competitions. For more information about this award: Request for Collaborative Research Projects.
Submit a PDF including the following components as an email attachment to email@example.com:
- letter of interest outlining your interest in the topic and a description of your current research/work that is related to the topic
- recent offprint, manuscript, or other writing sample
Faculty applicants are responsible for discussing a course buyout with the chair of your department, to ensure that your department will support your reduced teaching load should you be selected for the seminar.

Arts & Sciences faculty garner top fellowships
Three faculty members from the University of South Carolina's College of Arts and Sciences have been awarded some of academia's top fellowships.
History professor Dr. Marjorie J. Spruill has been awarded a fellowship from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Dr. Ed Carr, an associate professor in geography, has been awarded a Science and Technology Policy Fellowship from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Dr. Laura Dassow Walls, an English professor who holds The John H. Bennett Jr. Chair of Southern Letters, was named a 2010 fellow by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation in April.
"These awards represent powerful external validation of the quality of the scholarship of the faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences," said Dr. Mary Anne Fitzpatrick, dean of the college. "The opportunities afforded by these fellowships will allow these faculty not only to conduct important research but also to bring new approaches into the classroom on their return."
Spruill will head to Washington, D.C., in September, where she will be in residence at the Wilson center through May to work on her book, "Women's Rights, Family Values, and the Polarization of American Politics." There, she will interact with scholars and public officials in Congress and the executive branch of government.
"This book will speak to a broad audience and contribute to the national conversation about this prolonged period of partisanship and polarization that has continued now for 30 years and is confounding efforts of our leaders to address the most important problems facing our society," Spruill said.
A leading expert on women's history, Spruill is focusing her research on the transformation of American political culture during the 1970s that led to the highly partisan, deeply polarized political culture of today. This is the third fellowship Spruill has been awarded since joining the university's faculty in 2004. She was a fellow with the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University from 2006 – 07 and will begin a fellowship with the National Endowment for the Humanities fellow beginning June 2011.
AAAS fellowships are highly competitive, with more than 800 applicants this year. As a fellow, Carr will relocate to Washington and will serve in an influential role with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance. There, he will coordinate and provide guidance on climate change adaptation policy, focusing on poor and vulnerable populations.
"The fellowship is a remarkable opportunity," Carr said. "USAID is one of the world's largest and most influential development organizations. Decisions made at USAID will, over the long term, affect the lives of hundreds of millions of people. The chance to influence policy within USAID is something I cannot pass up."
Carr joined the university's faculty in 2003 after having earned his doctorate in geography a year earlier from the University of Kentucky. A prolific young scholar, Carr is recognized as a leading international expert on global development, particularly the intersection of development with global economic and environmental change. His fieldwork has focused on Africa, specifically Ghana and Malawi.
The Guggenheim is the most prestigious fellowship awarded in general academic fields. Walls is one of 180 artists, scholars and scientists to be chosen from a field of more than 3,000 applicants. She plans to use her fellowship year to research collections at the university and libraries around the country and begin writing a biography of Henry David Thoreau that introduces him to a new generation and connects him to the 21st century.
"We really live in a different era now, and we bring different questions to Thoreau and see him in new ways," Walls said. "He continues to be so important, an icon of American culture and a kind of ambassador of American culture abroad."
Much of Walls' scholarly work has looked at the relationship between literature and science. She has written three books, including ones on Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Alexander von Humboldt, a pioneer environmentalist in the 18th and 19th centuries. Her 2009 book, "The Passage to Cosmos: Alexander von Humboldt and the Shaping of America," earned a Merle Curti Award from the Organization of American Historians. She received a Russell Research Award for the Humanities and Social Sciences from the university last month.

Can you really make $2000 a week?

Re: Can you really make $2000 a week?
i work 40 hours a week on cam, and generally take home between 700-1000 a week. the site i work for pays weekly instead of bi-weekly. i also lose a piece of my check to the studio i work for as a studio fee (which i could easily get rid of by working from home). But yeah, if you can stay online and have yourself a good setup (tv monitor, well lit room, HD webcam, etc) then you can totally make yourself some decent money. two grand seems kinda steep but i really only know what I've learned at the studio, and from the other girls here. good luck! it's a great job to have if you're nice and not too shy.
