The Walter J. Husak Collection of Large Cents
Filed Under: Auction News, Heritage Auction Galleries, US Coins
Heritage is delighted to present perhaps the greatest sale of large cents ever held – the Walter J. Husak Collection of Early US Cents – as a part of our upcoming 2008 February Long Beach, CA Signature Coin Auction. While far from the largest collection ever sold, nor the most comprehensive collection extending to 1857, the Husak Collection includes nearly every Sheldon die variety in the 1793-1814 series, including many Mint State pieces and numerous Condition Census examples. The only varieties missing are 1793 S-15, 1795 S-79, and 1795 S-80. The collection contains all other Sheldon numbers with subvarieties, and die states of the 1804.
When Walter Husak started this collection, he had two goals in mind. His first goal was the acquisition of coins that are attractive and pleasant representatives, preferably in the Condition Census. His second collecting goal was the acquisition of coins with exceptional pedigrees. Either one of these two goals presents a major hurdle across a wide range of dates in the large cent field, and a few of the pieces in his collection fall short of his requirements… but very few indeed! Most examples meet at least one of Mr. Husak's goals, and quite a few meet both.
An example of the last category, and one of cataloger Mark Borckardt's favorite coins in the entire collection, is the famous 1799 Abbey Cent. It is solidly within the Condition Census of the Sheldon-189 die marriage, and it has a continuous, uninterrupted pedigree dating back to the 1840s.
Walter Husak began collecting coins while summering at his grandparents' farm in Iowa in 1955. He took the pay he received for his farm chores and began to buy Buffalo Nickels and Lincoln Cents, his coins of choice at the time. During this time, his father worked at the Merchants National Bank in Cedar Rapids. A fellow employee had squirreled away a few old coins that had crossed the counter, and when he heard about Walt's interest, showed him about a half dozen Indian cents. After buying the group for $12, he showed his purchase to his grandmother, who burst into tears at her grandson having been cheated. The tale has a happy ending, however; one of the coins, a duplicate 1864-L in AU+ condition brought him $15 at the local coin shop!
After a number of years watching the hobby from the sidelines, Mr. Husak purchased a 1804 large cent in June, 1980 – his "first exposure to the large pennies." In 1986, he attended the Robbie Brown auction and purchased his first Sheldon-13. At the end of 1994, he made the fateful decision to collect all of the Sheldon varieties, and the rest is history.
We have been proud to offer some wonderful collections of early copper in the past, such as the coins of Jules Reiver and Wes Rasmussen. The Husak collection has caused a greater stir among our numismatists than we have ever seen before.

I have some old coins that belonged to my grandfather among which I found 3 large pennies dated 1829, 1847, and 1851. How do I go about seeing if they and other old coins I have have any value?

Kai Ryssdal: We've got about two weeks until what has somehow become the traditional start of the holiday shopping season. It is, of course, the day after Thanksgiving -- Black Friday as it's called. And if you follow these things, you probably know a lot of retailers are starting their big markdowns at midnight that Friday.
Which, if you still want it to be Friday, would be the earliest possible start time. Well, today Walmart said I'll see your midnight and raise you 10 p.m. Black Friday deals are going to start on Thursday this year -- as in Thanksgiving.
Marketplace's Jennifer Collins reports on what's becoming a very busy graveyard shift.
Jennifer Collins: Dev Shapiro is one of those shoppers who camps out for about a week to be the first in line.
Dev Shapiro: Yeah, I've been doing Thanksgiving in the parking lot of Best Buy for the last eight years.
He also is the spokesman for a Black Friday sale tracker, GottaDeal.com.
Shapiro: Let me bring up my list here.
At 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving, some Walmart clothes and housewares go on sale.
Shapiro: At midnight: Best Buy, Kohl's, Macy's, ShopKo, Target.
We've got to speed this up -- he's more than 20 stores on this list.
Shapiro: And then at 9 a.m., the last store that opens is La-Z-Boy.
Appropriate. John Long of the firm Kurt Salmon says stores open earlier every year -- for a good reason.
John Long: Because to some degree, the only growth that retailers are seeing in the marketplace today is growth off the backs of competitors.
And while he says the day after Thanksgiving may represent 1 percent of annual sales for many retailers...
Long: Black Friday isn't necessarily their biggest shopping day.
More likely, it's in the top five. Analyst Anthony Chukumba of BB&T Capital Markets says that's because a lot of consumers "cherry pick" the best deals.
Anthony Chukumba: People go into the stores just looking to get that $299, 42-inch LCD TV, and once they have their hands on that, they don't really buy anything else.
So why open early?
Chukumba: It's for the publicity, it's to create a frenzy, it's to create excitement.
Ah. I guess I was kind of part of that today.
I'm Jennifer Collins for Marketplace.

Information You Must Know About Aviation Colleges
Aviation colleges offer classes and training for all things flying related. There is a large variety of different degrees offered, from undergraduate certificates to master's degrees. These degrees can be used for all sorts of careers. In addition to regular classroom study, most of the aviation programs also offer practical lessons and hands on experiences in the field.
What to Look for in an Aviation College
The first step in finding a college is searching for one which offers the correct program. That includes the right training for the desired career, as well as the correct degree level. For students who already have some experience in the field of aviation, or who have already attended classes, search for a college that will accept the maximum transfer credits possible. Practical concerns, like location and cost, should be considered as well. Last but not least, look for aviation colleges that are rated well by students and employers, and that offer the best training possible.
Transferring Credit
There are many opportunities to earn credits other than the classroom. Colleges may give credit for practical experience in the field or military service. AP classes or CLEP exams provide credits, as do classes from previous colleges. Not all colleges accept all credits, so it is best to ask each college exactly what they will accept. If a college will not accept the vast majority of the already earned credits, it may not make sense to transfer there. Similarly, if there is a specific college you want to transfer to, it is best to plan your current classes accordingly.
Available Degrees
Aviation colleges typically offer certification programs as well as a degree oriented programs. Degrees are available at the associate's, bachelor's and master's level, and are typically given in the sciences. Which degrees are being offered typically depends on the job being pursued and/or the college. Some professions legally require certification, which is usually granted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Most jobs in the field of aviation do not require a degree, but many employers prefer to hire applicants who have completed some form of higher education.
Job Options for Graduates of Aviation Colleges
The most basic training offered at aviation colleges is flight lessons, which teach students the skills necessary to become a pilot, copilot, or flight engineer. Students can learn to fly aircrafts of all sizes, from helicopters to commercial jets, and to handle a plane in the scariest of conditions. There are also job and training options for those who are fascinated by airplanes but don't enjoy flying. Students can train in field such as aviation safety and management, airport management, or air traffic control.
The Price is Right
Higher education is always expensive, but there are ways to cut costs. First and foremost, file a FAFSA and apply for both federal and state financial aid. Military servicemen and war veterans may qualify for special funding and government help, but anyone can apply. The cheapest colleges are public or state colleges that are as close to home as possible. Most public universities offer discounts for residents of the state and/or county, and attending a college close to home means not having to pay for a dorm. Shorter college careers will always end being cheaper, as will lower level degrees.
For students who are looking to fly, or those who simply want to tell others how and when to fly, aviation colleges offer the necessary training and degrees. There are colleges available all across the country and some even offer degrees in aviation online, although the practical experience can't be completed online. Finding the correct college can be as simple as a Google search or asking your academic advisor for help.

Chris Kelly: Boston Bruins Forward Returns from SwitzerlandDecember 7, 2012
Boston Bruins alternate captain Chris Kelly has ended his brief stint in Swtizerland's National League B and returned to North America. Kelly played eight games for HC Red Ice in the Swiss second division.
According to the league's website, he played his final game for the club on November 30. He recorded two assists in his team's 4-2 victory against HC La Chaux-de-Fonds. He faced the same squad in his first overseas contest on November 3.
Kelly performed well in Switzerland with four goals and five assists just eight games. Averaging more than a point per game seems rather impressive on the surface, but it hardly compares to the exploits of his Bruins teammates.
While Kelly excelled in the B division, fellow Bruins Tyler Seguin and Patrice Bergeron kept busy terrorizing the Swiss top-flight. Both are averaging more than a point per game against much better competition, and Seguin leads the league in goals, outshining other NHL stars like Rick Nash, Joe Thornton and Logan Couture.
Kelly is the second Bruin to return home from Europe after goaltender Tuukka Rask ended a sparkling stay in the Czech Republic. Rask dominated as HC Plzen's netminder in the Czech Extraliga. At the end of his time abroad, he sported elite statistics with a 2.13 goals against average and a .9249 save percentage.
With two players back from successful journeys, 10 Bruins remain dispersed across the European continent. Daniel Paille recently became the 12th Bruins player to make the trip when he joined Finland's Ilves Tampere earlier this week.
Other Bruins, such as Zdeno Chara, Dennis Seidenberg, David Krejci, Rich Peverley and Johnny Boychuk, continue to see regular action in a number of countries.
Kelly likely returned to North America optimistic about the state of CBA negotiations, which have since taken an unfortunate turn for the worse. As Bruins continue to excel abroad, fans in Boston will anxiously await their arrival for an NHL training camp that may never come.

My site is a flower shop. I was hoping to have an option where when a customer clicks on a product, say a bouquet of roses, they would have the option of pressing a radio button that lets them choose between 3 or 4 different prices within that single product- 'upgrading' the flowers if you will. Ideally I would start with the default price at the lowest price,for example 30.00 and then have the next radio button say 40.00 and then the third say 45.00.
Just wondering if this is easy to do within Abundance…
Thank you in advance
You can try "variation" products or "grouped" products (probably the variation products will work better in this case). Variations will be displayed in a dropdown field like here: http://kriesi.at/themes/abundance/shop/variable-product/
Best regards,
Hi, is somebody who can explain how to setup the different prices for 1 product as mentioned on: http://kriesi.at/themes/abundance/shop/variable-product/

Teaching Critical Media Literacies: Theory, Praxis and Empowerment
Indeed, since we are "immersed from cradle to grave" in media culture, it is essential that we teach and continue to learn about the multidimensional, and complex nature of media production and critical cultural studies.
We are immersed from cradle to grave in a media society. Thus, it is essential that students learn how to understand, interpret, and criticize meaning and messages of media culture. My course, "Critical Media Literacy and the Politics of Gender: Theory and Practice," initiated at UCLA in 2002, is designed to meet these contemporary needs through the study of scholarly writings, media analysis and the creation of media texts. This course is a collaborative effort and is co-sponsored by Women's Studies and Education, thanks to the support of Christine Littleton, Danny Solorzano, Sandra Graham, John Hawkins, and Kris Gutierrez. It is open to both graduate and undergraduate students.
This course meets 21st century needs for media literacies which involves teaching students to use technologies and theories in a critical and practical manner. Students are required to produce a final group critical media project which can be a video, web page, "zine," or PowerPoint presentation using multiple technologies available through a diversity of UCLA resources, which they must formally present at the end of the class. They also complete a number of assignments which are designed to teach them technological and basic production skills. These include, camera shooting techniques, storyboard, video editing exercises and the production of an introductory web page, using I-Movie and Dreamweaver.
Because I believe so strongly in the dialectic of theory and practice, the students are required to do particular readings from the course reader, which I designed, as well as produce a short analytical final paper in which they discuss their group project within the context of critical media literacy. Many students use these papers when presenting their media projects in other forums and/or conferences.
The course has a three hour seminar and a one hour lab each week. In the readings and lectures, I draw upon cultural studies, feminisms, film, critical race and critical pedagogy theories and practices to advance critical media literacy and to enable students to become better ale to understand and produce works in the new technology and media environment which mediate our everyday lives. Moreover, many of these students incorporate these skills into pedagogical research, projects and careers.
Students are asked to incorporate course readings, guest lectures and films presented in the class in their final paper. Notions of ideology and hegemony as well as the "politics of representation" in media (which includes dimensions of sexism, racism, classism and homophobia, to name a few) are central concerns. Also the ideas and realities of resistance, social and political change and agency are emphasized. Guest lecturers have included independent film/videomakers as well as cultural studies, critical pedagogy and information science scholars.
Since 2002, media productions have included and examined the following: gendered stereotypes and children's toys (this group also developed curriculum and taught an elementary class at Leo Polite Elementary School, based on their research); depictions and analysis of women in "Bollywood" films; women's roles and male domination in the rock music industry (which emphasized dimensions of the LA environment); female sexuality and contemporary grass roots art; a mockumentary on "mixed race" couples; a video and web page presentation description three general "ages" of women ("maiden," "mother," and "crone"); a performance piece on young women, advertising and body image; an examination of plastic surgery and plastic surgery television programs; an examination of Sex In the City; depictions of queer sexuality in consumer and alternative media: same sex marriage; cinematic portrayals of Iranian women; sexualization of girls in media; cell phone culture; stereotyping of Asian students at UCLA; media representations of Muslim women; the politics of breast feeding; US politics and terror wars in Iraq as well as a number of web pages, including one on "Cultural Studies" and a power-point presentation on masculinity and presidential candidates, to name a few.
These productions are quite professional and provide for excellent pedagogical resources, given that most of the students had no prior technical experience before taking this class.
According to USC Dean Elizabeth Daley, "The greatest divide is between those who can read and write with media and those who can't" (2005). This course addresses these most important concerns and provides students with opportunities to become literate in the ever evolving technological forms of our everyday lives.

Successful Houston Half Marathon thanks to Chi Running!
Well, I did it! I finished running the Houston Half Marathon on Sunday! It was the second time I had run in the event; two years ago I ran the same race, which was the first time I had run 13.1 miles. Thanks to the pain-free Chi Running technique, I was able to run the race then, and again this year, joyfully and without injury.
My goals for running the race this year were to finish and to finish uninjured. Kristin (Ivan's sister-in-law) and I had both run the race two years ago, and we were at the start line again together this year... However, this year we decided on running together, which we hadn't done before.
Due to illness, work schedules, traveling and incredibly cold weather, she and I were both less trained than we would have liked and thought it would be good support and more fun if we ran together. If none of you has ever run a whole race with another person, I would highly recommend it. It was so much fun to run together, and it actually made the time go by rather quickly.
Going into running the race, I knew I was going to need to rely on my technique and Body Sensing to get me through the race because I hadn't run the mileage that I would have liked during running training. To stay safe and connected to my body, these are the things I focused on during the race:
- Core engaged
- Elbows swinging to the rear
- Never stepping past my hip
- Crown tall
The weather was slightly rainy at the start, and again at the finish, but we were able to run in nice cool weather which was fantastic. Running this course is so great -- there are loads of fans and volunteers along the entire course which makes for a very entertaining, fun and supportive race. With the rain, the road was slightly slippery in places, so we just watched our footstrike and made sure to take smaller strides where it was slippery.
About mile 11, I got a very strange, sharp twinge in my lateral left knee. I immediately shortened my stride, back off my speed and watched the way my feet were tracking, making a very conscious effort to strike neutrally on the ground. I haven't fully diagnosed what it was, but I was so grateful to have my running technique "down pat" in order to fix the issue immediately to avoid injury.
We were smiling for the entire race; it was so much fun to run with someone, the course was so well supported, the weather was excellent for running and we both ran a better race than either of us expected. I am thrilled to have done another race. I am thrilled to have another positive experience under my belt. I am grateful I was able to run 13.1 miles at all, and that I was able to run and have so much fun with Kristin. We both have great support systems and had 6 smiling faces at the end of the course to cheer us toward the finish line as we raced the last .5 mile, pace for pace, crossing the finish line at the same moment. Thanks for a great race, Kristin!
While I don't have any other races on the calendar yet, I am going to enjoy running and walking just for the sake of it for the next several months.
Many thanks to those of you who have continued to read my blog and make comments. It is very encouraging to know that many of you are still reading this after several years, and I am looking forward to continuing to blog about my experiences to inform others who are learning and practicing the Chi Running technique.

Yay!! Congrats Liz - glad you had a great time! That's what it's all about. Hope you got to enjoy a post race margarita down in H-town!
Woo hoo! Way to go! So glad you finished and finished having fun!
Thank you for a great article. I am new to ChiRunning and just ran my first Half in December.
I look forward to having ChiRunning a part of my training for many years to come.
Good luck to you and keep up the great work.
Thank YOU, Liz! I couldn't have done it without you, and didn't realize (until our race) how much fun and motivating it is running with someone else. Thanks for the injury prevention tips, too. Talk to you soon!
Great job Liz!!! Maybe I'll see you at Oil Creek someday, lots of people hike or go slow on the short 50K race distance.
Way to go Liz, You guys sounded like you had a such a great race together. Thanks for the tips too, really appreciate them, I am running my 2nd half tomorrow, so I will remember your hints. Take good care and Congrats again!
It' s a very considerable distance. happy that you did it! Keep going!

Monroeville (Pa.) Gateway all-purpose back Brendon Felder is one of the top skill position players in Pennsylvania's Class of 2010.
The talented and versatile athlete holds offers from Boston College, UConn, Pitt, Akron, Buffalo and Toledo, and other schools are showing a lot of attention.
Coaches from Cincinnati, Maryland, UNC and Virginia, in addition to UConn, have made the trip to Gateway to inquire about Felder.
Article Continues Below
The 5-foot-11, 163-pound prospect said he is being recruited to play several different positions.
"I know a couple of schools have definitely said they want me to play on defense at corner," he said. "Pitt and Boston College have said that. A couple of others are saying they want me as an all-purpose or in the slot, and a couple are saying running back. I don't really care to tell you the truth."
How close are those other schools to offering Felder?
"I know Maryland said they're real close to offering. They just want to see me in their 7-on-7's, to see how I do against other talent. I'll be going down there for that.
"West Virginia has come in and they've said they want to see me at their 7-on-7, too. Cincinnati and UNC have said they're real close. I'm trying to get to the UNC camp, but we'll have to see if that will work out with the money. I'm pushing for that."
Does he have any favorites?
"No, I wouldn't say I have any favorites right now. I'm just trying to figure everything out."
Felder admitted that the biggest factor in his decision would probably be how quickly he will be able to get on the field, and that he sees good opportunities for that at Pitt and Boston College.
He plans on narrowing his list during or after his senior season. He plans on taking all five of his official visits.

I love the spices in this tea. I accidentally left it and steeped it for about 40 minutes, but when I came back it was ready to be guzzled down. It tasted a bit like a watery mocha (but a good one!). And of course, I'm full of energy. For some reason it reminded me of toothpaste (it didn't taste like it, it just made me think of toothpaste when I was drinking it). Weird.

I never buy live seafood, but a recent $13 lobster roll experience made me realize that I need more lobster in my life, and I need to do it in the most budget conscious way possible.
This month's Cooks Illustrated has a recipe for New England style lobster rolls (served cold with mayo and bibb lettuce, as opposed to the Connecticut warm/drawn butter variety).
Since those buns are impossible to find in LA, I went ahead and purchased their recommended New England style hot dog bun pan. The "USA Pan's New England Hot Dog Bun Pan" that comes "highly recommended". (That's right, I'm making my own!) A great extra perk is that CI's review of the pan says the included recipe made better tasting buns than is what available commercially.
The recipe itself is essentially a cold lobster salad, made with mayo, minced celery, lemon juice, chives, cayenne, salt. I love that the recipe included very detailed instructions on how to extract every last bit of meat from the shell, including the legs. (Use a rolling pin or dowel to squeeze out the meat from the top of the leg). It's copyrighted paywall content that Chow won't allow me to reprint here, but it's really informative read if you feel like splurging (or getting a free 2 week trial membership).
So, this leaves me wondering-- since I never buy live seafood, what is the absolute best price you've ever seen for Maine lobster, and what is the best price you've seen recently (and where?) I'm guessing the live tanks at 99 Ranch would be a good first choice, or maybe Assi in Koreatown. The recipe calls for 1 lb of lobster meat to make 6 lobster rolls. How big would my lobster have to be to get 1 lb of meat from it?

Microsoft has recently introduced a new feature for the company's cloud storage service, OneDrive. The new feature will allow you to access your files without taking up device storage. Called "Files On-Demand," the update will roll out with the Windows 10 Creators Update and will give users more control over which files are stored locally versus the cloud.
Much like Dropbox's Smart Sync, it lets you view all files and folders directly in File Explorer, instead of only seeing those you've synced to your device.
It's an important update as the more we use online storage — creating files and uploading photos and working across multiple devices, the more we need to access all documents on multiple devices.
OneDrive's File On-Demand supports personal and work accounts, as well as SharePoint Online team sites. Also, files will not only be visible from a desktop but also in the file picker when using a Windows store application — and allows you to view a files' status due to the small cloud icon in a column labelled "status".
On mobile, Files On-Demand has seen some issues. Microsoft has addressed this by introducing a new option to save entire folders to your mobile device — in order to open their files once you have a connection again.
Files On-Demand is already available on Android Office 365 Personal and Home subscribers and OneDrive business accounts. iOS users will receive the update in a few months.
For iOS users, you can now use OneDrive with iMesssage — sharing an entire folder or file directly within the iMessage interface.
If you have any questions regarding this OneDrive's update or would like to discuss Office 365 and the file sharing services we offer, please be in touch at — firstname.lastname@example.com

Wednesday is Switch Day. Ladies dress like men and men dress like ladies.
Thursday is Rep Your City Day. Everyone is encouraged to show their hometown pride by wearing clothes that represent the city they are from.
Friday is Pajama Day. The Greater Allegheny community will just wake up and go to class all comfy and cozy in their pajamas.

The series of school reforms that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is promoting — and being applauded — in states around the country as a formula for raising student achievement around the country was not actually successful, according to a new analysis.
The review was conducted by William Mathis, managing director of the nonprofit National Education Policy Institute at the University of Colorado at Boulder School of Education, and looks at a presentation Bush made to Michigan legislators on June 15.
Though Bush hasn't been governor of Florida since 2007, what he says about school reform today matters. He has become a guru to a number of governors across the country who see the program he launched in 1999 — and kept promoting through his two foundations after he left the governorship — as the right path to school reform. The mission of his Foundation for Excellence in Education is to support reform in other states "primarily based on the success of the Florida Formula on Student Achievement."
Bush's presentations center around six reforms that he says helped raise student achievement:
*Giving schools a grade A through F based on state student standardized test scores.
*High-stakes testing
*Setting new requirements for promotion to the next grade and high school graduation
*Performance pay for educators
*Teacher credentialing changes
*Expanded school choice in the form of charter schools, virtual education and vouchers.
Bush attributes the implementation of these reforms to a rise in student scores on the National Assessment of Education Progress, known as the nation's report card, most prominently in fourth grade reading scores.
What Bush rarely discusses are the actions taken that were most likely the cause of that rise: a state reading initiative that included the placement of reading coaches for third graders, a voter-approved referendum to reduce class size, and an emphasis on early education.
Furthermore, Bush instituted a policy that held back third graders who scored low on standardized tesets, eliminating them from the fourth-grade test until they had another year to develop.
Mathis says that the Bush policy of assigning letter grades to schools has been followed by "a growing gap and greater inequities between higher- and lower-rated schools."
And he notes that Bush does not offer any proof that alternative teacher credentiailing has improved teacher quality, or that expanded school choice has influenced test scores.
Bush has become such an important figure in school reform that President Obama this past spring traveled to Florida — while Wisconsin teachers were protesting their Republican governor's attempt to strip them of most collective bargaining rights — to share a stage with Bush and declare him a "champion of education reform."
Instead, Mathis wrote, that Bush's presentation about Florida reforms failres to address real problems while advanced "false solutions."
"Unfortunately, if research is our guide, the effect of the Florida reforms will likely prove to be a more inequitable and inadequate educational system," he wrote.
And not just in Florida.

Billy's Stone Crab Restaurant Review: You might call Billy's Stone Crab a fine example of a moveable feast. Even though Billy Moore has relocated his restaurant from time to time, wherever he lands, the seafood --- especially the stone crab from October 15 to May 15 --- is first-rate. While the little delicacies can be pricey, they're also very tasty. The regular year-round menu offers typical Florida standards such as shrimp, sirloin, prime rib and crab-stuffed flounder. Lunch specials range from fish or chicken sandwiches to hot Cuban sandwiches. There are lots of hands-on food options, too, like onion rings and U-Peel-'em Shrimp. But there are more perks here than just food: the adjacent piano bar provides background music.

Autographed collectibles are a staple in most sports memorabilia collections. They are valuable, and they hold personal meaning for the collector. However, there is a dark underbelly to the world of autographed collectibles, and the FBI wants you to be aware of it. According to the bureau, 70% of all autographed sports memorabilia sold over the Internet are fake.
Con artists have taken advantage of the burgeoning market of online shoppers. They use the impersonal aspect of Internet shopping to fool uneducated buyers into believing they are purchasing authentic autographed memorabilia. Some sellers take their con even further by forging certificates of authentication. This certificate creates the illusion the autograph has undergone extensive authentication measures, but the opposite is true.
The sports memorabilia market is estimated to generate more than a billion dollars each year. Seeing how much people love to purchase autographs presented an opportunity for forgers to take advantage of unsuspecting customers. The ability to hide behind a computer screen has made passing off a forgery even easier. The result: The market is now flooded with fake autographs.
Another problem is many authentication companies have been proven to be less than trustworthy on multiple occasions. One recent news report showed a female reporter forging an autograph of a baseball player at a card show. She took it over to the authentication booth where a so-called expert gave it his seal of approval in fewer than five seconds. Rest assured, this isn't an isolated incident.
I believe there are some authenticators out there looking to build up their database of verified autographed collectibles. They loosen their standards to reach their goal. Furthermore, they spend little time authenticating signatures of players who aren't superstars because there isn't as much money in those autographs. This opens the doors for a forger to come in and acquire authentication from a somewhat reputable authentication firm because it wasn't willing to go the extra mile to ensure the signature really was valid.
So where does this leave us, the buyers? The best way to ensure an autograph is real is to acquire it yourself. Go to card shows, arrive at games early or send a ball in the mail to make sure the player is signing the piece. Other than that, it really is all about trust. Do you trust the person selling you the autographed collectible? If it's from a local card shop with which you have a long-term relationship, you might be able to place your trust in the seller. If it's from someone across the country on eBay, it might be best to resist clicking the Buy Now button.

Waking up from hibernation, SATA HDD not detected
I'm not sure, if it is the write place for this thread, because I think it's completely hardware related. But possibly I'm wrong and it is about the OS too.
So my problem is, when I wake up my PC from hibernation, it doesn't detect my only HDD at all. If I soft reset it, it works and if I boot from HDD, it continues Windows properly.
My HDD doesn't have any problem, all the SMART values are good, no problem with spin up time too according to SMART. However, my PC doesn't detect my WD HDD in case of 90% of wake ups.
It is very frustrating, because I lose time with the restart and with set up the boot order in BIOS. I always have to do that, because the BIOS forgets it should boot from the WD SATA HDD, but as it doesn't exist (it's not detected), it changes the order, which is reasonable and logical.
There are no errors when I use the computer. Everything works right except that.

His podcasts has the most 5 star ratings of any photography podcast. (672 to date!) ****"Just like the add said, there are no tricks, but your common sense approach to business is astounding.

Perfect sense. -- David Wilcox, Lake Charles, LA**** ****"I emailed you straight from the app, and you actually called me to explain the answer to me. I just wanted to say thanks for that" -- David Maxwell**** ****"I have to admit, I was skeptical on the whole presentation style format when I first got started, but in the first 15 minutes, you explained to me something I had never quite understood, and you talked to me like a a real person. You have a true gift. And thanks for allowing us to email you straight from the app, and then actually answering. I now own all of your classes." -- John Mater, Burbank, CA**** "Most beginning professional photographers think that starting a photography business is all about taking pictures and selling pictures. I have been down that road. I can tell you with certainty, that is almost 100% dead wrong. It is far, far beyond that simple thinking. At least if you want to run the most successful business that you can..." - James Beltz "If you look at my website and at my prices, you will see that I am charging half of what every other Pro is charging at my skill level, and be absolutely dumbfounded at how I am making the living that I am making at photography. There are two simple reasons that I can charge the low prices that I charge, but make what I make. #1 - Skill. I have worked hard at improving my photography. #2 - A Sound Business Plan. And this class is devoted to sharing that with you" - James Beltz "This is not a get rich quick scheme. It is my business plan. And no matter what the widget is that you are trying to sell, or what the service is that you are trying to provide, every business needs a well thought out plan.

The fabric for the quilt for my sister. The picture hardly does it justice, can't tell that there is gold metallic all through it and the one on the upper-left is almost all gold for the sashing.
The second from the left is the background for the fans, also has gold in it, and the pieces on the bottom are the center panel and the fan fabrics.
I couldn't get the green in the 4 corners so I'll do something else there.

MELISSA BLOCK, host:
The Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is one of the most prominent people imprisoned in China right now. He was detained one month ago. So far, no charges have been announced.
Chinese reports hint that he's being investigated for tax evasion, among other things. In Hong Kong, images of Ai Weiwei's bearded face have become a political statement - a statement that could lead to a jail term for one young supporter. She's a graffiti artist.
And on a recent trip to Hong Kong, NPR's Louisa Lim met her.
LOUISA LIM: I'm in Lan Kwai Fong, the nightlife capital of Hong Kong, and I'm standing beside a nondescript gray wall. On it is spray-painted a picture of the detained Chinese artist Ai Weiwei over the words, who's afraid of Ai Weiwei?
This graffiti has been popping up all over Hong Kong, to the consternation of the authorities and the delight of many Hong Kongers.
Mr. PETER CHAN: It's cool. The graphic is cool, and the presentation of protest against China is cool.
Mr. LEONARDO GUZMAN: It's all over the place. I mean, before there was a graffiti here, there was graffiti there. It's kind of good.
LIM: First Peter Chan, then Leonard Guzman. The immediate official reaction was literally a whitewash. Crack teams of street cleaners took just three hours to wash off or cover up most of the Ai Weiwei stencils. These were the work of 22-year-old graffiti artist Tang Chin, also known as Tangerine. She wanted to warn Hong Kong people Ai Weiwei's detention does affect them.
Ms. TANG CHIN (Graffiti Artist): He's, you know, one of the most prominent contemporary artists in the world right now. If he can be arrested, then there's no identity that we can hide behind. Like being a Hong Kong citizen doesn't really help anymore, you know. Being rich or, you know, all kind of social status doesn't help. There's no shield anymore against this very naked power that is trying to engulf us.
LIM: But she's become an inadvertent counterculture icon. Few people know what she looks like, and I've been asked not to disclose where we met. She's not exactly on the run, but a police unit is investigating criminal damage charges against her, which carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail. Ten years for graffiti. Stranger still, the investigating unit is a serious crime squad which usually deals with murder and rape, not vandalism.
Tangerine is not fazed.
Ms. CHIN: I have to thank the police for, you know, drawing so much attention to this issue. Even if I have to go into jail, I think that would be a very, very worthy price to pay.
LIM: About two weeks ago, as many as 2,000 people marched in Hong Kong for Ai Weiwei. For many local artists, it was a political awakening of sorts, as they doused themselves in paint, drummed and sang. Many were disturbed by the official reaction to the graffiti.
Mr. KACEY WONG (Artist): For us, I think this is a big, big alarm.
LIM: March organizer Kacey Wong fears it's an act of political censorship, and Hong Kong risks losing its special freedoms if people don't defend them.
Mr. WONG: It's about an issue of morality rather than politic or not. I think when you have a chance to voice out, you must voice out before it's too late.
LIM: So now, teams of people are downloading Tangerine's stencil of the detained artist from the Internet, to do their own graffiti.
One activist has pioneered flash graffiti, flashing projections of a supersized Ai Weiwei onto famous Hong Kong buildings for a split second. His targets included a PLA Army barracks. The PLA says this is a breach of law, and it reserves the right to act. Such reactions offer one answer to the simple question - who's afraid of Ai Weiwei?
Indeed, it seems many in Hong Kong's corridors of power fear the potency of his image.

FBI Arrests Hedge Fund Manager
FBI agents led Michael Steinberg out of his Park Avenue apartment building in handcuffs after arresting him on insider trading charges. The portfolio manager of SAC Capital, one of the most prominent American hedge funds, Steinberg becomes the most senior hedge-funder to be ensnared by a widening FBI probe. The bureau is pursuing SAC aggressively, even after the firm agreed to pay a record $616 million civil penalty to settle two other insider trading lawsuits brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In case anyone was wondering, I changed the icons that had images (such as Device Central) to icons with text (such as Flash)
For example, Drive is just "dr", Device Central is just "dc", etc.

When you're an internationally-acclaimed indie rock songwriter like Beck, you can do whatever the F you want. You can voice a character in the Rugrats movie. You can build a waterslide into a giant vat of Diet Pepsi. You can breed standard poodles paired to create an ultradog that looks exactly like Kim Kardashian in dog form) You can release an album that's no album at all — it's a book — and you can tell people, "come on, man, don't be a square, that's my new album maaaaaaan." You can do whatever you want because you're Beck and even my mom knows who you are and is moved to tears in 30 seconds or less of hearing the opening track from Sea Change.
Now, Beck could do all the things listed above, if he wanted to. But Beck's not that kinda guy; he doesn't want to abuse the power the Gods of Indie Rock have given him. So he's only done, say, half of the magical things on that list. (I'll let you guess which ones.) And now he really is releasing that long-awaited new album as a book — well, a song reader, rather. What's a song reader, you say? What are you, born after 1930? A song reader is — according to a press release — "an almost-forgotten form — twenty songs existing only as individual pieces of sheet music, never before released or recorded." So naturally Beck Hansen's Song Reader, released in conjunction with (who else?) McSweeney's is the rootin' tootin'est song reader this side of World War I, complete with full color era-evocative illustrations, ukulele notations (when "necessary"), and a fancy hardcover carrying case. The song reader features 20 new Beck songs, plus illustrations from artists Marcel Dzama (who also arted on Beck's Guero), Josh Cochran, Jessica Hische, Leanne Shapton, and the always intriguing "many more." There's also an introduction by Jody Rosen (Slate, New York Times) and a foreword by Mr. Hansen himself. Beck Hansen's Song Reader drops, in its 108 color illustrated paged glory, sometime in December.

That weird, disgusting sound you heard last summer was the collective noise of everyone in the world simultaneously rolling their eyes at MTV's announced reboot of the 1985 Michael J. Fox non-classic film Teen Wolf But in the Vein of Twilight. Wait, what? Why. Why on earth, MTV? I mean, we live in gross, reboot-heavy times, so perhaps this project was a statistical inevitability, but still: There was no way Teen Wolf: The Show wouldn't be just another cynical cash grab destined to end up in some dark, unvisited corner of our Netflix Instant Streaming queues, am I right? Nope! I am not right, as it turns out!
Teen Wolf is not going to win all of the Emmys this year or next year or any year. Granted. But I'm here to tell you that after eight episodes, the jury's finally in: Teen Wolf is not terrible! In fact, Teen Wolf is pretty good in a number of ways. Perhaps it's summer and there's not a ton of competition, and maybe my brain is sunshine-damaged and Popsicle-ruined, but file this under Credit Where Credit's Due. Teen Wolf is good TV, and here's why:
1. Teen Wolf looks awesome.
Australian director Russell Mulcahy helped shape the visuals for the show, and he's one of the most criminally underrated genre directors of our times: He made Highlander! And Razorback! And Ricochet! If you're a student of badass cinema, you know who Russell Mulcahy is, and you know that making stylish, scary movies on a shoestring budget is his calling card. Well, Teen Wolf is one of the handsomest, best-filmed productions on television. Last night's episode featured a tracking shot of two characters walking into the woods that was so cool I had to pause and rewatch it twice, or even THRICE!
2. Teen Wolf has a MAJOR crush on The Vampire Diaries.
I wonder how long it took the producers to realize that pitching a show as "Teen Wolf meets Twilight" was a terrible idea. First off, nobody cares about the original Teen Wolf except for, I don't know, designers of ironic T-shirts. Just don't tell me that modern teenagers care about it. So the producers must've looked to Twilight for inspiration instead, but then I guess somebody remembered that the Twilight saga isn't actually a story, it's just a couple thousand pages of some religious lady's rubbin' fantasies. So Teen Wolf's producers eventually settled on another, better source of inspiration: The Vampire Diaries. Obviously Who wouldn't?
Vampire Diaries' influence on Teen Wolf isn't just in the overt references (early on, there was a lacrosse match played against Mystic Falls) or copycat casting (Lydia's mom is played by the same actress who plays Tyler's mom on TVD), but it's also in the show's fundamental elements. Teen Wolf wisely lifted the paucity-of-parenting element from TVD, not to mention its small town incompetence toward crime solving and/or murder prevention, its underpopulated high schools, and characters with asymmetrical faces (Hey Bonnie!). And towel scenes. Tons of towel scenes. But even the things Teen Wolf does differently from Vampire Diaries strike me as conscious decisions to learn from TVD's shortcomings. For example...
3. Teen Wolf's mythology is refreshingly uncluttered.
It helps that Teen Wolf has a mere fraction of the number of characters that Vampire Diaries does, but also it only has ONE type of monster, and a historically uncomplicated one at that. At first I feared this was a recipe for a bore-fest, but it turns out that leaving enough time for casual banter, compelling character moments, and actual dramatic tension can be a GOOD thing? I don't know, call me old-fashioned, but the thing that's always bothered me the most about Vampire Diaries' insane, whirlwind storytelling is that nobody ever gets a simple, random character beat. "No time! We have a thousand new characters to introduce and kill off immediately."
As for Teen Wolf's mythology, all we know so far is that an appealing, dim-witted kid with a crescent moon-shaped head got bit by an evil werewolf and now he must fight beastly urges. Also, he's in love with a girl who is a descendent of an ancient family of werewolf hunters, obviously. And the evil werewolf is still out there somewhere, constantly murdering townsfolk. There you go! With so little backstory, it's no wonder that these characters actually still go to class and have grounded, relatable lives.
Plus, there's an overarching Twin Peaks-esque mystery. WHO is the evil alpha werewolf? Is it Scott's absent father? Is it the shouty lacrosse coach, suspicious animal Vet or nebbishy teacher? There's only like six other characters tops, the choices are limited. THIS is a mystery I can handle!
4. Teen Wolf's characters look and behave like actual teens.
Much like the pumpkin-headed dunces on MTV's Skins remake, Teen Wolf's actors actually look young enough be in high school. Imagine that! From Scott's stilted, adolescent line delivery to Jackson's peaking-in-high-school swagger, these characters come off as vulnerable, mixed-up kids, which weirdly lends credibility to their sometimes terrible decision-making. But unlike the ones on Skins, these are kids with natural charisma and entertaining dialogue. The best characters are obviously the funniest: Holland Roden's Lydia is a pill-popping mean girl who also knows how to make a Molotov cocktail (?), and Dylan O'Brien's Stiles (the show's best character is played by its best actor!) was probably conceived as the comic-relief sidekick, but has slowly become the main character to root for in this whole enterprise.
It's a testament to the show's confidence in itself that it can regularly put aside the werewolf curse plotline in order to squeeze drama out of ordinary teenage problems: Accidentally yelling at your girlfriend, being late for your parent-teacher conference, getting caught making out with your girlfriend in front of her dad's automatic rifle collection, having your feelings hurt when the gay jock doesn't find you handsome. These are all low-stakes problems, but in this world they seem just as compelling as a full-moon mauling. But with that said...
5. Teen Wolf is genuinely scary.
Everyone knew to expect a romance and a wisecracking sidekick and a ton of obvious hormonal-teenager-as-monster metaphors. But did anyone actually expect this show to be so scary? It's like a weekly horror film up in here! It's crazy, but so few shows have the knack for slow-burn terror and surprising payoff that Teen Wolf does. Take the episode where paranoid jock Jackson found himself trapped in an empty video store with a werewolf and a corpse. It was drawn out, creepily filmed, and didn't end in a cheap scare—not to mention it was just the cold open! Or last week's episode, where our five main characters were relentlessly pursued through the dark hallways of their abandoned high school by the same glowing-eyed beast—one that, unlike the werewolves on True Blood and TVD, looked like an actual monster and not some growling dog. Say what you will about the romance aspect of the show, but the writers seem to understand that the emotional impact of a teen romance is nothing compared to the push-pull, tension-catharsis of good, old-fashioned horror.
6. Teen Wolf would like you to know that ALL OF ITS ACTORS HAVE GYM MEMBERSHIPS.
Okay, got it, thanks for the constant reminders, Teen Wolf!
7. The things that are bad about Teen Wolf are also still pretty entertaining.
The evil alpha werewolf looks like claymation! California is constantly foggy and dark and its citizens take lacrosse VERY seriously. (Fun fact: We don't!) Scott's werewolf makeup makes him look like a child gone trick or treating! Mentor-werewolf Derek lives in a dusty shanty in the woods for no reason! There's always something laughably over-the-top in Teen Wolf, and that's part of the fun. In fact, badness is almost crucial to a good teen supernatural serial, if you ask me. It kind of keeps you on your toes and provides a good foundation for when things are genuinely good.
Of course, Teen Wolf could all go wrong and introduce a moonstone or a useless witch or something. But for now I'm totally still on board. This is one cynical cash grab I'm happy to keep watching.
What about you? Are YOU still watching Teen Wolf?
And if so, what do you like best about it? What would you change?
Finally, and most importantly... Do, Dump or Marry: Scott, Stiles, Derek / Allison, Lydia, Aunt Kate?

SAO PAULO, March 16 (Reuters) - Brazil's currency and stock market fell for the third straight day on Wednesday, as news of a cabinet reshuffle raised concerns of a sudden swing in fiscal and monetary policy for an economy mired in its worst recession in decades.
The Brazilian real slid as much as 2 percent while the benchmark Bovespa stock index lost 1 percent in early trading, accumulating a three-day slide of nearly 7 percent and 6 percent respectively.
As President Dilma Rousseff met with her political mentor, former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, to discuss his possible return to the government, newspaper Valor Economico reported the head of the central bank could be on his way out.
Lula and his Workers' Party have publicly called for a shift away from austerity and toward more public spending to jumpstart an economy mired in its worst recession in decades.
The central bank's press office declined to comment on the Valor story. (Reporting by Brad Haynes; Editing by Meredith Mazzilli)

Both Sun and Pgi on Linux correctly put typeinfo into the std namespace, but function_base keys off the BOOST_NO_EXCEPTION_STD_NAMESPACE macro instead of the BOOST_NO_STD_TYPEINFO macro. The attached patch changes function_base to use the typeinfo macro. Because eVC 4.2 doesn't put typeinfo into the std namespace, I need to define BOOST_NO_STD_TYPEINFO only for this eVC version.

Implement an optimization that David Abrahams and myself came up with, where Boost.Function uses a bit in the vtable pointer to indicate when the target function object has a trivial copy constructor, trivial destructor, and fits within the small object buffer. In this case, we just copy the bits of the function object rather than performing an indirect call to the manager.
This results in a 60% speedup on a micro-benchmark that copies and calls such function objects repeatedly.

I didn't explicitly specify the versions since no one's updating this list and it's highly unlikely that a future version will break this. The same could probably be done for the other compilers but I don't know them very well so I'm leaving them alone.

If you thought the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo was just for shit-kickers, FFA students and the dozen or so Lee Greenwood fans not in nursing homes, there's a whole 'nother world to explore, with activities that run the gamut from countrified to fancified. The rodeo carnival begins Thursday, February 24, and runs through March 20 on the grounds of Reliant Park. It features roller coasters, bumper cars, slides and, of course, those carnival games where players end up dropping $30 for an eight-inch stuffed bear. Or, hang with the trail riders and marching bands at the annual Rodeo Parade, which kicks off at 10 a.m. Saturday, February 26, at the corner of Smith and Texas in downtown. For folks who like their booze a bit fancier than Bud Light, there's a wine competition at the Reliant Astrodome on Monday, February 28, where 1,200 vinos from 300 wineries will compete (sadly, your $75 ticket does not entitle you to sample all of them). And on March 6 and 13, the rodeo gets godly with the Fellowship of Christian Cowboys' Cowboy Church on the second level of Reliant Center, where ornery cusses will ask forgiveness for their sins (let's hope none of them involves livestock). For information and a complete schedule, visit www.rodeohouston.com. Bob Ruggiero
A Smokin' Time
Cut down a tree. Make sure it's mesquite. Reckon hickory will do all right too, if you must. There you go, pardner. Now, find yourself a cow. Whack that dumb beast across the head and cut it up into different parts. Soon after, we'll stoke those tree branches and get 'em a-smokin' under Elsie's spice-rubbed carcass. After 12 hours, hell, maybe even a day, we'll take out the meat, slather it in a ketchup-and-Worcestershire mix, and eat till we're plum tuckered.
Yep, it's time for the World's Championship Bar-B-Que Contest. This weekend, more than 300 teams of experts adept (presumably) in said culture will put their mastery of the barbecue variables -- time, wood, smoke, sauce, quality of meat -- on display in an attempt to wow judges. Even the pits will be decked out, masquerading as fire trucks, covered wagons, garbage trucks, armadillos and even the state of Texas.
Show up and chow down on a complimentary chopped beef sandwich while dodging the street dancers, who'll be two-stepping to local entertainer Troy McManus (no relation) from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday, February 24; noon to 11 p.m. Friday, February 25; and 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, February 26. One Reliant Park. For tickets and information, call 713-629-3700 or visit www.rodeohouston.com. $6. Brian McManus
Rock 'n' Rodeo
Shake yer caboose to hotties, has-beens and honky-tonkers
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo always scores high marks in the people-watching department, in a Hee Haw-come-to-life kinda way. But hell, for our money, it's also the best music event in these here United States. It's got everything a music lover could ever want: country stars and starlets (Clay Walker, March 20; Martina McBride, March 12), a teen pop sensation (Houston's own Hilary Duff, March 6), some has-beens (Lynyrd Skynyrd, March 18) and up-and-comers (Gretchen Wilson, March 5). All that on top of frigging pig races? Genius.
Spanning several genres of music over three weeks, this year's lineup of artists boasts a grand total of 11 Grammy Awards (and 105 different country awards you've never heard of). The bill includes everything from the country/rap/midget exploitation of Big and Rich (March 7) to that sultry tickler of the ivories, Alicia Keys (March 4).
Need something else to crow about? How about the family-first pricing? Where $500 will get you a wristband at this year's SXSW (soo overrated!) and the pleasure of being snubbed at any venue with a marquee act, the fine folks at the rodeo offer cozy spots to park your weary caboose for under $20. And you won't have to suffer through abhorrent opening acts. Instead, chuckle mightily at the miniature chuckwagon races, and ooh and aah at the grace it takes to rope a baby calf. Shows run from Tuesday, March 1, through March 20. One Reliant Park. For tickets and information, call 713-629-3700 or visit www.rodeohouston.com. Tickets start at $16. Brian McManus Boot Scoot

Register online and pick up your race packet (as there's no day-of registration) at Luke's Locker (1953 West Gray) on Thursday and Friday, February 24 and 25.

We always seem to overlook the event that puts the "livestock" in Livestock Show and Rodeo. This week, you can horse around at cutting-horse shows, which begin on Tuesday, March 1. Or peruse the bluebloods groomed by more than 1,100 Texas 4-H and FFA chapters at the Livestock Show, which begins Wednesday, March 2. Consider it a bovine beauty pageant, with the lucky winners being crowned Miss Prime Rib. Through March 20. One Reliant Park.
