The NFL Experience includes opportunities to see celebrities and try exercises like the real athletes do.
By BABITA PERSAUD
© St. Petersburg Times, published January 20, 2001
Here, you can run into padded posts and hopscotch through ropes, just like the real 300-pound defensive tackles do.
And here is where you might meet some of those players and other celebrities. MTV's popular Total Request Live (TRL) will be filming there Jan. 27 and Jan. 28. Expected to stop by: Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin.
The NFL Experience has virtually taken over the north lot outside Raymond James with big tents, flags, metal stands. It has the feeling of a state fair, albeit with a football edge.
There are 50 games, practice drills and exhibits, such as a play-by-play announcer booth, where you can pretend to be John Madden and get a copy of the tape to take home, for a fee.
Most of the games require some imagination. A flash of light on the grass that you race against is supposed to be Tennessee Titans running back Eddie George. Can you keep up?
But one of the most interesting exhibits is the most static.
It's the NFL locker room, a makeshift room where the jerseys of current players hang behind glass. Read the quotes on the wall: "Do it for the team and for this family."
Food, including barbecue sandwiches, will be sold at the Experience. It is open today and Sunday and Thursday through Sunday next week.
The lineup:
TODAY: At 11:30 a.m., see Warren Sapp and other NFL defensive players hop through obstacle courses in the Ultimate Defender Challenge. The challenge takes place rain or shine.
NFL "premier defensive players" will test speed, strength, endurance, agility in the two-minute drill, strongest man and fumble recovery. Scheduled to make an appearance: Jason Taylor (Miami Dolphins), Jevon Kearse (Tennessee Titans), Marcellus Wiley (Buffalo Bills), Brian Urlacher (Chicago Bears), La'Roi Glover (New Orleans Saints) and Mo Lewis (New York Jets).
The challenge will be taped today and shown on ESPN on Friday at 8:30 p.m and Jan. 29 at 3:30 p.m. The segment will also air on ESPN2 on Jan. 27 at 4 p.m.
SUNDAY: Noon-2:30 p.m.: Cheerleading Spirit Clinic with 1,000 young women from Tampa-area schools (grades five-12) go over football fundamentals, cheering skills and dance techniques.
Speeches given by four-time Olympic gold medalist Janet Evans, considered to be the best female distance swimmer in the nation, and professional race car driver Audrey Zavodsky.
JAN. 27: At 1 p.m., MTV's most popular show, Total Request Live with Carson Daly, will broadcast live from the NFL Experience. 98 Degrees will perform My Everything. Guests "dropping by" as they do on TRL include Ricky Martin, Eve and NFL football players. Also sometime that day, MTV will tape Rock 'n Jock Super Bowl XXXV from the Experience. The show isn't live. Appearances by Dan Marino, Rob Schneider, 98 Degrees, Colleen Haskell (Survivor), Jerry O'Connell, Shannon Elizabeth, Eve, Gena Lee Nolin and Ja Rule are scheduled. MTV veejay Ananda Lewis will be part of the show, which will air at 2 p.m. Jan. 27.
JAN. 28: Another live broadcast, but for the first time ever, TRL will not be on MTV, but CBS. Both have the same parent company, Viacom. CBS Sports Presents: MTV's TRL@The Super Bowl airs live Jan. 28 at noon.
How does it differ from MTV's TRL the previous day?
"With the music videos that we will play for that show, we went a little broader and more mainstream in our selection process. The football players and local Tampa audience will be the ones who decide what videos we play," Salli Frattini, an executive producer at MTV. Carson Daly hosts, and guests include 'N Sync and Aerosmith. Jennifer Lopez will perform Love Don't Cost a Thing and Play.
But the big question, can you see it?
"It's limited standing room," said Frattini. "It's a closed set except to the cast and ticketed audience (which MTV has selected already). If you do have a ticket to the NFL Experience and are here, you will be able to see it from the outskirts."
To stay up-to-date on special events at NFL Experience and player appearances call toll free 1-888-NFL-CARD (635-2273).

Ouch!!! ouch!!! Kirsten, get off my foot, you Wally.... I know it's dark down here... Jill's throwing us a couple of ropes, so we'll be out soon... Hope she's got the tea kettle on, need a cuppa.... :) :)
Thanks Jill, one of my grandchildren stutters. He's been getting therapy at school, and at our local Childrens Hospital, where my daughter learned of this stutter group, for people of all ages. It's a nice group of people, and good for those who stutter to be able to "hang" with others like themselves!! A good time was had by all of us!! Next year it's held in Nashville Tenn.
I bet that picture is lovely, Jo; but, I will be glad to see the return of the buffalo, lol! Whether it is you or a family member who must deal with stuttering, it must be a difficult road to travel I do hope the people you meet are far more understanding and accepting than they were years ago when people knew very little about it
A rainbow slinky, how cool is that! The ones they make nowadays are plastic and don't do squat! I loved playing with the "old " ones!As for your observation. Surely, dear one, you realize that nuts attract squirrels! ... :-))))
OH NO!!! I just put Kirsten in the bottom of the well, L! I had no idea that you were down there. I'll throw down another rope, lol! Glad you liked it, dear,one!
Thank you, Shirley. I'm glad you liked the colors and the puzzle, my friend!
No, no, Kirsten, you are at the bottom of that well looking,up! I'll toss you a rope! You are welcome, you are welcome, etc, etc, lol!
Profil pic is from July vacation with daughter and her family to Colorado. Convention for people of all ages who Stutter. Picture is a water color of Colorado Mts. I won it in a fundraising auction!! A nice memory to hang up in my home!! I don't have many pics of me, so expect the buffalo to return in the near future! LOL! :)
I resemble that remark!!
Might be a rainbow slinky! (Jill dear, excuse me for mentioning this but have you noticed how some of your puzzles bring out the Crazies? No names mentioned but cast your eye on the comments preceding mine... hint, hint... ) All except Shirley, of course :-)
Hello, Kirsten.... I'm down in the bottom of the well... I can hear you, hear you, you.... Please help me get out, get out, out..... I had so much fun with this puzzle, I fell in......(3:18... and I thought it was going to be a snap... Boy was I wrong)..... :) :)Thanks for the echo, Kirsten.... :) :)Thanks for the fun, Good Buddy.... :) :)
Very artistic, Jill, lots of beautiful colours radiating from this one, great puzzle Jill, Thank you.
Oooh, it's like looking down a very deep well. Hellloooooooo!! Can you hear me? Hear me? Me? I like it a lot Jill. A lot jill. Jill. LOLOLOL :-DDD
Lol, Jo! At 5:32, I must have been more lost than you! Soundwave emissions would have been a good title, my friend!I like your new profile picture although I miss the buffalo, lol! Did you do the painting? I wish I could see it up close.
I got lost in space!! 4:08!! Colorful soundwaves emitting from the red planet!! Ut Oh!!!! Whats that mean?!! Much fun Jill, thankyou !! :)

Inelastic light scattering by 2D electron system with SO interaction
© Chaplik et al.; licensee Springer. 2012
Received: 16 July 2012
Accepted: 2 September 2012
Published: 28 September 2012
Inelastic light scattering by electrons of a two-dimensional system taking into account the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in the conduction band is theoretically investigated. The case of resonance scattering (frequencies of incident and scattered light are close to the effective distance between conduction and spin-split-off bands of the AIIIBV-type semiconductor) is considered. As opposed to the case of SOI absence, the plasmon peak in the scattering occurs even at strictly perpendicular polarizations of the incident and scattered waves. Under definite geometry, one can observe the spectrum features conditioned by only single-particle transitions. In the general case of elliptically polarized incident and scattered light, the amplitude of the plasmon peak turns out to be sensitive to the sign of the SOI coupling.
It is well known that the spectrum of light scattering by a two-dimensional (2D) electron system is characterized by two contributions. One of them is determined by charge density excitations which is commonly called screened scattering. The shift of frequency equals the 2D plasmon frequency. The maximum of intensity of the corresponding peak in light scattering is reached when polarizations are parallel, and it is equal to 0 when polarizations are perpendicular.
The other contribution corresponds to single-particle excitations (SPE). The typical frequency shift is of the order q v F , where q is the wave vector transfer and v F is the Fermi velocity. The intensity of this peak is maximal for perpendicular polarizations of the incident and scattered waves. As to polarized scattering, the SPE contribution strongly depends on the resonance parameter (see[1]): if the incident frequency is close to the effective bandgap (including the Moss-Burstein shift), the SPE peak can be comparable with the plasmon one.
The SOI substantially changes the spectrum of inelastic light scattering. A new peak (of a nontrivial shape) appears with the frequency shift equal to the spin splitting at the Fermi momentum. The polarization dependences are changed qualitatively. The plasmon peak can occur even at crossed polarizations. Finally, the left to right symmetry of circularly polarized incident light is violated: the cross section is invariant under simultaneous change of signs of polarizations and the SOI constant. This allows, in principle, to determine the sign of the Rashba constant experimentally.
Expressions for the scattering cross section
where f β ≡ f(ε β ), f(ε) is the Fermi distribution function, ε β is the energy of an electron in the conduction band, and.
where E g is the effective bandgap width,, P ≡ p cv /m0 is the Kane parameter, e1,2 are the polarizations of incident and scattered photons, and σ are the Pauli matrices. We treat here the enhanced resonant factor A in Equation 5 just as a constant that is true for not extremely resonant regime: the denominator in Equation 5 is much larger than the Fermi energy of electrons. We do this in order to simplify calculations because our main goal in this paper is to demonstrate the qualitatively new features of the scattering process due to spin-orbit interaction.
The values of Z and are given by expressions for L1 and in Equation 2 with γ replaced by γ2.
The contribution R1 determines the scattering of light by fluctuations of charge density. The value R2 determines unscreened mechanism of scattering and corresponds to single-particle excitations. It can be shown that in the absence of SOI in the conduction band, the values of Z and and, respectively, R3 and R4 are equal to 0 identically.
Results and discussion
Numerical calculations
Thus, allowing SOI essentially (qualitatively) changes the spectrum of inelastic light scattering by a 2D electron system. It should be especially noted that in the absence of external magnetic field, the symmetry between left and right polarizations is violated.

There is something calming about open air bars – they have that casual/formal appeal, yet have the characteristic to transform itself into a party space. More interestingly they can accommodate people of different ages, without crossing the line. In this story we look at various alfresco spaces that have character and need to be visited by people who love to spend time with friends over beer and good ambiance and lip-smacking food. These are the nominations for the best bar food at the India Nightlife Convention Awards. To book your tickets for the two-day event, click here.
Aer – Bar and lounge (Mumbai)
Nothing welcomes the monsoons in Mumbai with warmth than this chic space located in the by-lanes of Worli. Along with the cinematic view, it is also known for its range of exotic cocktails like The Joker, Mumbai Kiss and much more. Pair them with pizzas and quick eats, and your evening is set. Further, lookout for things like champagne happy hours every evening from 5 pm, curated mixology and music nights.
Aqua, The Park (Kolkata)
If you have visited Aqua, then you will know what level it holds as far as alfresco places are concerned. Not to forget the poolside dining area, perfect for parties or romantic dates. Also, this place is popular for its DJ nights and quirky desi-inspired cocktails and spreads.

Al Gore's side may be coming to power in Washington, but they appear to be losing the battle on the idea that humans are to blame for global warming.
Forty-four percent (44%) of U.S. voters now say long-term planetary trends are the cause of global warming, compared to 41% who blame it on human activity.
Seven percent (7%) attribute global warming to some other reason, and nine percent (9%) are unsure in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democrats blame global warming on human activity, compared to 21% percent of Republicans. Two-thirds of GOP voters (67%) see long-term planetary trends as the cause versus 23% of Democrats. Voters not affiliated with either party by eight points put the blame on planetary trends.
In July 2006, 46% of voters said global warming is caused primarily by human activities, while 35% said it is due to long-term planetary trends.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
In April of last year, 47% of Americans blamed human activity versus 34% who viewed long-term planetary trends as the culprit. But the numbers have been moving in the direction of planetary trends since then.
Gore and many scientists argue that the use of fossil fuels and aerosols, along with other human activity, is causing global warming. Other scientists disagree, saying the warming is a natural cyclical change that will reverse itself over time.

Reconstructing a Denim Jacket
Well, I'm really not a seamstress, but I have a good gene pool. My aunt Grace was a wonderful seamstress. She sewed for the all prominant people in my hometown of Fitchburg, Massachusetts. She could whip something up in no time. Well, I had this jacket and thought it needed some color. Not quite done, but one sleeve is and I really like how it came out.

Christ-Centered Curriculum
God wrote more in the Bible about David than anyone else. Why was so much space given
to him? Because God wanted us to learn David's spiritual secret, which was how he
faced the same troubles, trials, and disasters that we all face and yet kept on
serving God. In the Book of Psalms we find the record of David's life lived each
day walking with God.
From David's struggles with finding purpose for his life to coping with feelings of
spiritual failure and abandonment, his life represents the struggles of all believers.
David's Spiritual Secret (Part 114) offers encouragement in every circumstance
and in all walks of life.
If you want to learn to live the life of a believer
"after God's own heart," this book is for you.

The women will finally get their day at Pipeline. After several years of controversy, the first women's surfing event at Pipeline will be held between March 11-16 in conjunction with the women's bodyboarding championships which kick off the Girls On Boards tour.
For years on-lookers at the Pipeline Masters have wondered why women weren't included in the ASP event. However, in the surfing community, the consensus is that the world famous Pipeline is too dangerous for women. Interestingly, even the women themselves have been divided about whether or not they would want to compete at Pipeline.
"Pipeline is not a wave for everyone, but the girls who do go out and appreciate a steep take-off should have an opportunity to see where they stand against all the other women," explained event organizer Betty Depolito, aka Banzai Betty. "Women should get the opportunity to try. The opportunity to build up their talent level out there, to build up their gumption, should be afforded." The women's performance debate aside, for the past several years permits for Pipeline or other North Shore spots have been so tight that a women's event at Pipe, or anywhere for that matter, seemed impossible. Ironically, it is the local North Shore women who have been getting edged out of the North Shore contests for the past several years, and this fact may have been the catalyst which helped their cause the most.
In the late '90s, the local North Shore women lost their annual event at Sunset Beach, first to the traveling Women's Championship Tour girls, then even the 'CT women lost out to time constraints and politics of one degree or another. This year the last standing women's WQS event again became limited to WCT women only, confirming to local girls that they would have no pro event in Hawaii this year. Fortunately, Depolito convinced the city/county officials that the local women were getting the short end of the stick. This may have been the push the women needed to get their Pipeline permit from the city/county.
Not only will the contest do justice to local women surfers, but to all women surfers who want to have a chance to compete in a sizable reef break. The Pipeline event has the potential to breed a whole new generation of women surfers and women's events.
Depolito has invited surfing legends Jericho Poppler and Linda Benson to be a part of the festivities, and she plans on showing all-girl movies in the community during the week. Depolito hopes to run the event in anywhere from 2- to 8- feet surf. "As the season is winding down, March usually kicks in clean solid swells and westerly angles," explained Depolito. The women's Pipeline surfing champion and the Pipeline bodyboarding champion will be crowned, as well as the Hawaiian champions in both divisions.

Tottenham transfer news: Vincent Janssen picks his three favourite goals for AZ
Tottenham are closing in on signing Vincent Janssen, AZ's goal machine.
In the Eredivisie last season the 21-year-old top scored with 27 goals and here, the Dutchman picks his three favourites.
Spurs have been granted permission to speak to the player, who has five Netherlands caps and has scored three times, with his first coming against England at Wembley.
The striker position is an area Tottenham have been looking to strengthen in order to provide Harry Kane with cover and offer manager Mauricio Pochettino more options.

Arsene Wenger has hinted Theo Walcott could be allowed to leave Arsenal in the summer as he struggles for first-team football.
The 27-year-old forward has again battled with injury this season, while the emergence of Alex Iwobi and Joel Campbell have pushed his nose further out of joint.
Walcott has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium, with Liverpool known to be in the hunt, and Wenger has not ruled it out.
"I don't know yet," Wenger revealed when asked if Walcott could leave. "I'm not in transfer mode at the moment, but I think he has gone through a bad spell. He has responded very well, because he said: 'Okay, I will work harder and more.'
"Even when he comes on now, you see he is motivated and focused. Let's see how well he finishes the season now.
"You have the emergence of a guy like Iwobi. But the players that did not play [against West Brom]: Santi Cazorla, Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Flamini, Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and I forget a few that weren't even in the squad.
"All these players will be frustrated, or the guys who go out will be frustrated. Welbeck didn't play, Campbell didn't play."

New Richmond seeks faster Internet service
When it comes to ramping up Internet speeds in New Richmond, city officials and business leaders aren't going to wait for providers to solve the problem.
At the regular meeting of the Economic Development Commission March 7, City Administrator Mike Darrow suggested that the city create a new subcommittee to push the issue toward a resolution.
When the commission agreed, Darrow said the city would appoint representatives from large and small businesses, along with city leaders, to the group. The subcommittee would then develop a possible request for proposals to be sent to telecommunications companies that might be able to provide better Internet service to businesses and residents in the community.
Commission member Summer Seidenkranz, owner of National Refund & Marketing, said local businesses and community leaders have been battling with Frontier Communications for years in an effort to improve the reliability and speed of Internet connections. Previous efforts haven't worked, she told the commission.
Commissioner Judy Simon, co-owner of Simon Electric, agreed.
"I don't see Frontier putting the money into the community," she said. "They've not been real gung ho about helping us out."
Seidenkranz said the city's Internet service needs to improve or it may impede the community's efforts to attract new businesses to town.
In an effort to "get this thing rolling," Darrow said the new subcommittee would develop specifications about what businesses and residents require when it comes to Internet service. Then the city will advertise for proposals from any and all companies.
The hope is to find a telecommunications company, whether they currently do business in New Richmond or not, that will be willing to invest in equipment and fiber optics that will improve speeds and connection reliability locally. Currently Frontier and Northwest Communications offer Internet service to all or portions of the city, but some commissioners suggested that Baldwin Telecom might be interested in offering service in town.
Beth Thompson, economic development specialist for the city, said the eventual Internet provider would have to not only provide better service, but also offer more competitive pricing.
Darrow said the issue will be on future Economic Development Commission meeting agendas.

KARACHI: Foreign teams continue to show reluctance over touring Pakistan and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been unable to convince them either.
However, a press conference yesterday confirmed that several current and former cricketers have agreed to tour after an initiative taken by the Sindh Sports Minister Mohammad Ali Shah.
Shah, a former PCB governing board member, along with the US-based Xtreme Sports has planned two Twenty20s to take place at the National Stadium, Karachi on May 25 and 26. Sanath Jayasuriya, the former Sri Lanka captain, will lead the side that includes Justin Kemp, Charl Langeveldt, Paul Adams, Andre Nel, and Richard Levi whose 117* off 47 balls remains the quickest Twenty20 internationals century.
Jerome Taylor, Adams Sanford, Dwayne Bravo (subject to availability) will also be part of the squad which will be coached by West Indies legend Alvin Kalicharan. England's Owais Shah has also shown interest in the matches while Afghanistan's wicket-keeper batsman Mohamamd Shahzad is also set to be the part of the team.
Although the move is seen as a positive sign towards the revival of international cricket in Pakistan, the PCB refused to be part of the proceedings and urged the organisers to postpone the event while refusing to sanction the national team.
While a PCB official said that the board was unhappy because it was not taken into confidence at an earlier stage, Shah said the plans were confirmed very quickly.
"It should not become an ego issue," Shah told reporters. "It all happened so quickly and we couldn't contact the chairman because he was out of the country. We are only requesting for the national team and permission to play at National Stadium. The PCB should reconsider its decision and support the cause in the best interest of Pakistan. The team leaves for Sri Lanka on May 28 so it will be free on the scheduled dates."
Shah added the international players have already been paid 10% of their match fees so the matches will go ahead as planned.
"We can't pull out now. We're hoping that that PCB will agree to help us," he said before showing willingness to hold matches in Lahore if the PCB wanted it that way.

Hey there, Is there any chance true story will be released as a wordpress theme again?
Also, you know the grey linen background? Is it possible to have it not switch from the photo background; i.e for the new page to just come on top of the current background.
If I were to change the background to the same image as the last one would it look like there was no page re-load?

Hello, I have run into an issue with an otherwise awesome template. I can only get to links accessed by clicking the menu. I cannot go directly to a link entered in my browser. If I do I just get the textured background. thanks, jes
I am also having some of the same problems as others describe where I must refresh page to display. Some pages will show up if I refresh, some will not… but they display fine if I click to them through the main index page menu.
Really liking this template. Thank you for the great work.
Has anyone had any luck getting subtitles to work with mediaelement.js-powered
<video> within this template? So far, the
<track> tag displays nothing and actually seems to break playback. Also, line 1197 of main.src.js doesn't include 'tracks' as a feature. Adding it here doesn't make a difference. I get the sense that the template wasn't designed with subtitles in mind, but i'd be happy to find out differently.
Hi there, my contact form is not working. It always says that it is unable to send the message. I have setted up the contact.php right. What is wrong here?

How can I put left side bar with the page on the right?? (Instead of picture on the left, I want to put side bar)
Still having an issue when resizing the site down to phone size. The home slider images disappear.

It may just be preseason, but Blackbaud Stadium is expecting a sellout crowd on Saturday when Sounders FC and the Charleston Battery meet in the Carolina Challenge Cup.
A big reason for that outstanding turnout is the return of one of the most revered players in the history of the Battery, Seattle midfielder Osvaldo Alonso. And while the excitement over Alonso's return is palpable among the fans in Charleston, it is equally thrilling for Alonso, who hasn't been able to hide his exhilaration since the Sounders arrived in South Carolina on Wednesday.
"It's been a long time. I'm very happy be here and see my old friends and my old town. This city gave me the opportunity to start playing professionally in the U.S. They gave me a good chance to grow my professional career and I'm very happy to come back," he smiled. "It's a special place to me."
He comes back to Charleston a much different player than the one that arrived nearly six years ago.
In 2008, Battery Head Coach Michael Anhaueser was bringing in one Cuban player, Lester More, and just before his trial he learned of another Cuban worth checking out. By the end of his first training session, Anhaueser knew that Alonso was something special and signed him as soon as he could.
Alonso was instantly among the best players in the USL. From the obscurity of the Cuban National Team, he burst onto the scene after his 2007 defection during the CONCACAF Gold Cup and was named USL's Rookie of the Year after scoring four goals to help the Battery to a fifth place finish in the league.
More impressive, though, was Charleston's run in the U.S. Open Cup.
Alonso led the Battery to the final, where it lost to D.C. United. Along the way, though, Charleston earned wins over the Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas before ousting the Sounders – then in the USL as well – in a shootout in the semifinals.
"Ozzie was as influential with us as he is with the Sounders. The absolute reason why we had success was because he was at the center of the park. That Cup run separated him and put him on a pedestal," Anhaueser said. "It wasn't just Seattle that was after him. He dominated."
At the MLS level, Alonso has continued his growth, earning MLS Best XI honors in 2012 and has been voted team MVP for four consecutive seasons. He is the club's all-time leader in starts and minutes and has established himself as one of the league's best holding midfielders, earning an All-Star selection each of the last three seasons.
That success, and the Designated Player contract that has come with it, has provided inspiration to players on the Battery. That list includes three other Cuban players and a fourth that is in on trial who have long admired Alonso for his courage along with his tenacity on the field.
"They're trying to follow in his footsteps. He has really excelled and is taking it to another level and they are trying to make it where he is," Anhaueser said. "That door was always there. What he's done is make it more recognizable."
On Friday, Alonso met with some of those Cuban players at a luncheon at Blackbaud Stadium, also seeing fans and staff from the Battery for the first time since he left for Seattle following the 2008 season.
It was a warm reception, but one that will surely be surpassed on Saturday when his name is announced in the Seattle starting lineup in the Carolina Challenge Cup match.
"It's been great. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time," Alonso continued to beam. "For me, it's going to be a special couple of weeks here."
Kickoff for Saturday's match is scheduled for 4:15 pm PT and it will be streamed on SoundersFC.com.

Results Using Historical Data
How often will the rate of return on a worker's PRA fail to reach the break-even point (the benefit offset amount)? Or, how frequently can workers expect a net loss?
Imagine a worker who joins the workforce in 2011 at age 21, opens a PRA and retires after working 44 years. The hypothetical worker's earnings and contributions to a personal account are presented in Table I. Applying this earnings profile to all 91 overlapping 44-year historical periods we calculate the frequency with which the personal account returns, based on the five portfolios, accumulate less than the benefit offset. Administrative fees are assumed to be 0.3 percentage points. Table II and Figure I summarize the results for the five portfolios. 12
The upper panel of Table II identifies the frequency with which the five portfolios do not achieve the rate of return used to calculate the benefit offset (which is the realized long-term government bond rate). At the end of the contribution period, if the net value of the personal account — the account balance minus the benefit offset — is negative, then the account is designated as suffering a loss.
"Historical data shows all the investment portfolios (except the all bond fund) will have a higher return than the benefit offset account."
As can be seen in both the figure and the table, all portfolios perform better than the benefit offset in all 91 simulations with the exception of the "All Bond Fund" (50 percent in long-term government bonds and 50 percent invested at the money-market rate). A worker who held the all bond portfolio in his personal account would do worse than the benefit offset slightly more than half the time. Workers who held any of the other three portfolios would have benefited from owning a personal account because their account would be worth more than the benefit offset when they retired.
How much better would these workers have fared? The lower panel of Table II contains a summary of the net values and the associated internal rates of return for each of the five portfolios. The portfolios' net values are equal to the difference between the total personal account accumulation minus the benefit offset. The personal account is always positive after the benefit offset — meaning it earns a return greater than the benefit offset rate — except for the all-bond portfolio. According to the table:
- Workers who invested in the "Lifecycle Fund based on Shiller," would experience a net gain of $15,830 to $102,031, with an internal rate of return ranging from 1.57 percent to 4.68 percent.
- If the worker invested in the "More Aggressive Lifecycle Fund," the account would end up with a net gain of $50,533 in the worst scenario — the 1877-1920 contribution period — and $248,400 in the best scenario, for the 1922-1965 contribution period; the average return is 4.7 percent after expenses.
The last two columns report the net values and internal rates of return produced by the "50/50 Fund" and the "All Stock Fund." As shown in Figure I, the all-stock portfolio out-performed the other portfolios in almost all years. Out of 91 simulations, the all-stock portfolio fell short of the more aggressive lifecycle fund in only five cases, and all by relatively small margins.
"The all stock portfolio yields the highest return; all bond investments yield the lowest returns."
These results — using realized government bond rates to calculate the benefit offset — are a striking contrast to Shiller's findings based on the fixed 3 percent benefit offset. Recall Shiller found that in 32 percent of the cases using his baseline lifecycle account, the personal account fell short of the benefit offset amount. By contrast, using the realized government bond return to determine the benefit offset, this same account never falls short. 13

Reporters Without Borders has written to President Abdoulaye Wade about the ransacking of the premises of two Dakar-based dailies - L'As and 24 heures - on the night of 17 August amid mounting tension between the privately-owned press and Farba Senghor, the minister of handicraft and air transport.
The letter asks President Wade to "do everything possible to ensure that the situation improves and that those responsible for these illegal actions are punished."
HE Abdoulaye Wade
President of the Republic
Presidential Palace
Avenue Leopold Sedar Senghor
PO Box 4026
Dakar, Senegal
Paris, 19 August 2008
Dear Mr. President,
Reporters Without Borders would like to draw your attention to a battle between your government's handicraft and air transport minister, Farba Senghor, and a number of privately-owned newspapers based in Dakar. The conflict was until recently limited to verbal threats, but it reached alarming proportions on the night of 17 August and could have serious consequences if nothing is done to defuse it. We therefore urge you, as guarantor of civil peace and the rule of law, to intervene.
Around 10 men armed with knives and teargas grenades raided the premises of the privately-owned dailies L'As and 24 heures in the residential neighbourhood of Sacré-Coeur 3 Polytechnique on the night of 17 August, destroying equipment and material used to produce the newspapers. The men arrived in a 4WD vehicle with an "AD" number plate of the kind reserved for government vehicles.
The unacceptable ransacking of these privately-owned properties followed verbal threats against these newspapers by Farba Senghor. After they published information about his private life, Mr. Senghor told the media that he "reserved the right to respond in a manner equal to the attacks."
Relations between Mr. Senghor and much of the privately-owned press have worsened considerably in recent weeks after the situation was poisoned by a series of incidents and acts of intimidation. On 27 July, for example, Mr. Senghor called on government ministers and other officials to "stop buying newspapers considered overly hostile to the government." At the same time, he promised the newspapers "a tax adjustment."
Government departments and agencies were instructed the same day to stop buying advertising space from these newspapers. Walf TV presenter Pape Ngagne Ndiaye claimed on 1 August that Mr. Senghor threatened him after he was asked if he was going to marry one of his assistants. The Walf Grand Place newspaper reported on 8 August that the minister had instructed his aides to stop sending the weather forecasts they had traditionally provided to several newspapers.
These incidents come after a difficult year for Senegal's journalists in which several of them were summoned for questioning at the headquarters of the plain-clothes police and cases of police violence against journalists went unpunished.
We are aware that disputes can occur between government officials and the privately-owned press in a democracy without causing particular concern, and that the defence of rights and freedoms requires restraint and professionalism on all sides. But, while there are bodies that regulate the media, only the president is capable of restoring order in the public administration and within the government in particular.
When certain newspapers publish reports about a minister's private life, a collective self-examination may be required on the part of the media. But passing from verbal abuse to physical violence is not acceptable especially when, as in this case, the person under suspicion is a government minister who should, in theory, put the public interest first and behave in an exemplary manner.
We therefore think it is important that, in Senegal's interest, you should do everything possible to ensure that the situation improves and that those responsible for these illegal actions are punished.
We thank you in advance for giving this matter your careful consideration.

The Trainwreck of Justice League Won't Make DC Hit the Brakes
In the possible tie-up, the troubled firm is expected to sell all shares in a Chinese subsidiary operating an LCD TV assembly plant in Nanjing to Lenovo by the year-end, the Nikkei daily and Jiji Press said.
Sharp's other Chinese subsidiaries handling development and sales will also be turned into 50-50 joint ventures, the Nikkei said, without citing sources.
Sharp and Lenovo plan to sign a memorandum of understanding as early as this month, the Nikkei said.
The TVs sold in China will continue to bear the Sharp Aquos brand name, while plans call for the firms to jointly make inroads into other markets, including Southeast Asia and South America, it said.
Sharp hopes to raise the operating rates of these facilities by boosting TV sales through Lenovo's sales network in China, while Lenovo will use the partnership to make a full entry into the TV business, the report said.
Sharp said the firm has not made any decision related to its TV business.
Like rivals Sony and Panasonic, Sharp has suffered a series of credit rating downgrades and warned it expects to lose about $5.6 billion in the fiscal year to March and has been on the hunt for suitors.
In December, the company said it had struck a 9.9 billion yen ($112 million) capital injection deal with chipmaker Qualcomm that would see the pair develop energy-efficient LCD panels for smartphones using the Japanese firm's technology.
The US company would initially get about 2.64 percent of Sharp's stock.
Last year, Sharp said it had reached an $800 million capital injection deal with Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision, which makes Apple gadgets in China, but the deal stalled as Sharp's share price nosedived.

Education on Idaho Legislatures List of To-Dos
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Legislative leaders say Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter's 33-member panel investigating proposals to revamp Idaho's public education system come the 2014 session is all well and good. But it won't stop lawmakers from acting sooner, if they think it's necessary. Otter convened group last month, seeking to craft consensus measures that avoid the defeat voters delivered Nov. 6 to public schools chief Tom Luna's education overhaul.
But Friday, House Speaker Scott Bedke said Otter's "Gang of 33″ won't necessarily halt the Legislature's own proposals. Bedke said the executive and legislative branches of government are separate but equal and should enjoy the prerogative to strike out on their own. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Michelle Stennett raised the warning that voters sent a strong November message: They don't want politicians driving the debate.

Mondraic 1
Mondraic is the product of years of work with mathematics, art and computing. It is reminiscent of the pointillist movement in art and others such as abstract expressionism and impressionism. It layers colours across the screen in random dots creating subtle textures and shapes which evolve in rhythmic timing to reveal the underlying complex patterns. The colours oscillate and drift with different timing to create a truly delightful evolution of delicate shapes and bold dynamic colours. It is mesmeric and ebbs and flows like the tides drawing you into a trance like contemplation. Sometimes it resolves itself into large flat plains of colour in what appear to be regular patterns of squares and rectangles with complimentary or contrasting colours. Memories of circuses, St Tropez, the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro are evoked with the dynamic colours only to drift away to the gentle plains of Africa and the deep swell of the ocean. This screen saver is ambient abstract art at its best.

Yeah, that should say 4.3u not 3.4u.
I've read the guide. I have a 4.3u firmware so i need one of the games listed in the guide. I checked ebay and can buy one from the USA. I was wondering if it was possible to buy one locally.
I have a USA Wii and I've moved to Adelaide, SA, Australia. Does anyone know where I can get ntsc games in Adelaide?

News Dragon Quest Creator: No Talk of XI on Smartphones
posted on 2013-12-26 22:51 EST
Square Enix producer Takehiro Andō posted a Famitsu App column about Dragon Quest on smartphones on Monday, a week after the Android release of Dragon Quest X. Now that a main numbered title in the franchise has been released on smartphones and tablets, he asked Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii about the possibility of another one heading to smartphones.
Horii responded, "I don't think that it's as easy as it sounds. At the current stage, there are no talks about making [Dragon Quest] XI for smartphones. I believe that there's still plenty left to overcome before we release a proper sequel for smartphones." He emphatically added that smartphones are not game consoles. "I don't think they'll be replacing game consoles, but rather, I believe it's a matter of offering something to those who only have smartphones."

Registration by qualification pertains to all other offerings (that are not federally exempt) that are made within a state. Examples of such include offerings that are intrastate and/or are SEC exempt, based on their smaller size.
The registration period is usually one year, and all persons registering a security must pay the applicable fee.
In the resources portion of the text, you will find a link for a sample registration by qualification application for the state of Utah. Utah was chosen randomly and does not constitute what you will see in all states. However, on the front page of the application website, the site mentions:
"Any security may be registered by qualification. Securities should be registered by qualification when no other method is available."
While this point is not specifically highlighted in the USA, it is important to recognize. Registration by qualification is generally the final method of registration if a security cannot be registered another way.
Qualification entails submitting the following information to the Administrator:
With respect to the issuer and any significant subsidiary:
- The issuer's name, address and form of organization
- The State or foreign jurisdiction and date of its organization
- The general character and location of its business
- A description of its physical properties and equipment
A statement of the general competitive conditions in the industry or business in which it is or will be engaged
With respect to each director and officer of the issuer, and other person having a similar status or performing similar functions:
The person's name, address and principal occupation for the previous five years
The amount of securities of the issuer held by the person as of the 30th day before the filing of the registration statement
The amount of the securities covered by the registration statement to which the person has indicated an intention to subscribe
A description of any material interest of the person in any material transaction with the issuer or a significant subsidiary effected within the previous three years or proposed to be effected
The aggregate sum of the remuneration paid to those persons during the previous 12 months and estimated to be paid during the next 12 months, directly or indirectly, by the issuer and all predecessors, parents, subsidiaries and affiliates of the issuer.
All above information for a person owning on record or owning beneficially, if known, 10% or more of the outstanding shares of any class of equity security of the issuer
- With respect to a promoter, if the issuer was organized within the previous three years, all information listed in the first five bullet points above and any amount paid to the promoter within that period, or intended to be paid to the promoter, and the consideration for the payment
- The person's name, address and principal occupation for the previous five years
Generally speaking, an issuer must provide the following:
- Basic information: name, address, type of business and description
- Records of officers, directors and owners with a stake of 10% (or more)
- Description of issuer's long-term debt and capitalization
- Type and amount of securities to be offered
- Any/all stock options to be created in regards to the offering
- Estimated proceeds
- Copy of all red herrings, investment circulars or pamphlets for the offering
- Sample copy of the security
- Audited balance sheet of the issuer as of a date within four months before the filing of the registration statement
- An income statement and statement of cash flows for three years prior to the balance sheet
- A signed or confirmed copy of an opinion of counsel concerning the legality of the security being registered

Suda 51 and the rest of the folks at Grasshopper Manufacturer are hard at work finishing up the their latest game, Killer is Dead. It's another one of those bizarre alternate reality type games that basks in the dark glory of blood, violence, sex and gore. Killer Is Dead is certainly looking like the potential sleeper hit of the summer.
The game sees players taking on the role of a mysterious killer to kill killers. Armed with a trusty sword and a bionic arm, players will basically have to take down wacky, out-of-this-world bosses that would give some of those space-age baddies from No More Heroes a will run for their money in the art and design department.
One of the real highlights for Killer is Dead is that there is such hard focus on a very smooth and combo-translucent combat mechanic so that it's possible to seamlessly transition from slicing, dicing and cutting to dodging, rolling and blocking. It's quite impressive.
In addition to unleashing an English version of the original Japanese debut trailer, XSEED Games has also announced that the official community Facebook page for Killer is Dead has launched, which you can check out right now as you wait for the game to launch this summer for Xbox 360 and PS3.
