House Allocation with Existing Tenants: An Equivalence
In this paper we analyze two house allocation mechanisms each of which is designed to eliminate inefficiencies in real-life house allocation problems where there are both existing tenants and newcomers. The first mechanism chooses the unique core allocation of a "sister" exchange economy which is constructed by assigning each existing tenant her current house and randomly assigning each newcomer a vacant house. The second mechanism -top trading cycles mechanism- first chooses an ordering from a given distribution and next determines the final outcome as follows: Assign first agent her top choice, next agent her top choice among remaining houses and so on, until someone demands house of an existing tenant who is still in the line. At that point modify the queue by inserting her at the top and proceed. Similarly, insert any existing tenant who is not already served at the top of the queue once her house is demanded. Whenever a loop of existing tenants forms, assign each of them the house she demands and proceed. Our main result is that the core based mechanism is equivalent to an extreme case of the top trading cycles mechanism which orders newcomers before the existing tenants.

Legal Question in Construction Law in Washington
contractor's bond
We have a contractor who has not fixed some unsatisfactory work. He is working out of state under a new business name, and we think he may never return here.
How long after he stops doing business in Washington until he can terminate his contractor's bond?
How do we go after his bond? Can we file a claim with his bonding company? THe amount of money involved is perhaps $5,000 or so.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: contractor's bond
You can look up your contractor at L&I's website. You can determine his status, and find out who is the surety on his bond. In order to recover against his bond, you have to file suit in superior court naming the surety as a defendant. This is no big deal for an attorney, especially one who works in this practice area in the county where this happened (King?).
But you can't do it in district court. Also, you might be better off to sue him directly if there is going to be a question about what he owes you.
Contracts like this usyally provide that the prevailing party is entitled to have their costs and reasonable attorney fees paid.
You will do better with counsel, because a successful defense, even if it is on a technicality, could make a result where you have to pay his fees and costs and don't recover any damages.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell

Lawmakers fume over lost emails in IRS probe
Stephen Ohlemacher of the Associated Pressreported on June 14 that congressional investigators are fuming over revelations on Friday that the IRS had lost a trove of emails to and from ex-IRS official Lois Lerner, a key figure in the agency's targeting controversy.
The IRS said Lerner's computer crashed in 2011, wiping out an untold number of emails that were being sought by congressional investigators, according to the article. The investigators want to see all of Lerner's emails from 2009 to 2013 as part of their probe into the way agents handled applications for tax-exempt status by Tea Party and other conservative groups.
"Do they really expect the American people to believe that, after having withheld these emails for a year, they're just now realizing the most critical time period is missing?" said House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA), according to the article. "If there wasn't nefarious conduct that went much higher than Lois Lerner in the IRS targeting scandal, why are they playing these games?"
The IRS said technicians went to great lengths trying to recover data from Lerner's computer in 2011, Ohlemacher wrote. In emails provided by the IRS, technicians said they sent the computer to a forensic lab run by the agency's criminal investigations unit. But to no avail.
The IRS was able to generate 24,000 Lerner emails from 2009 to 2011 because she had copied in other IRS employees. The agency said it pieced together the emails from the computers of 82 other IRS employees. Overall, the IRS said it is producing a total of 67,000 emails to and from Lerner, covering the period from 2009 to 2013.
Medical merger part of 'tax inversion' wave
Medtronic Inc.'s agreement on Sunday to buy medical-device maker Covidien PLC for $42.9 billion is the latest in a wave of recent moves designed – at least in part – to sidestep US corporate taxes, Dana Cimilluca, Dana Mattioli, and Joseph Walker of the Wall Street Journalreported on June 15.
Covidien's US headquarters are in Mansfield, Massachusetts, where many of its executives are based. But officially it is domiciled in Ireland, where the main corporate tax rate is 12.5 percent, compared to 35 percent in the United States, home to Medtronic, they wrote.
Such so-called "tax inversion" deals have become increasingly popular, especially among health care companies, many of which have ample cash abroad that would be taxed should they bring it back to the United States.
Medtronic and Covidien announced the deal on Sunday. Covidien stockholders will receive $93.22 per share, composed of $35.19 in cash and 0.956 of a Medtronic share, according to the article. That represents a 29 percent premium to Covidien's closing share price on Friday. Covidien shareholders will own 30 percent of the combined company.
The deal is subject to regulatory approval in a number of jurisdictions around the world. After completion, the combined company would have its main executive offices in Ireland. Its "operational headquarters" will be in Minneapolis, where Medtronic is currently based.
The true cost of hidden money
Gabriel Zucman, an assistant economics professor at the London School of Economics, who is part of a wave of data-focused economists led by their mentor, Thomas Piketty, of the Paris School of Economics, has put creditable numbers on tax evasion, showing that it's rampant – and a major driver of wealth inequality, Jacques Leslie of the New York Timeswrote on June 15.
"Mr. Zucman estimates – conservatively, in his view – that $7.6 trillion – 8 percent of the world's personal financial wealth – is stashed in tax havens," Leslie wrote. "If all of this illegally hidden money were properly recorded and taxed, global tax revenues would grow by more than $200 billion a year, he believes. And these numbers do not include much larger corporate tax avoidance, which usually follows the letter but hardly the spirit of the law. According to Mr. Zucman's calculations, 20 percent of all corporate profits in the United States are shifted offshore, and tax avoidance deprives the government of a third of corporate tax revenues. Corporate tax avoidance has become so widespread that from the late 1980s until now, the effective corporate tax rate in the United States has dropped from 30 percent to 15 percent, Mr. Zucman found, even though the tax rate hasn't changed."
Fmr KPMG partner Scott London shares cautionary tale before prison
Forbes contributor Walter Pavlo recently talked to ex-KPMG partner Scott London before London begins serving a 14-month federal prison sentence on July 18 after pleading guilty last year to passing inside information from companies he once audited (including Skechers and Herbalife).
London will be interviewed by Gary Zeune during a live, four-hour ethics training class on June 25 promoted as, "… hard hitting, no holds barred, one-of-a-kind live interview."
Pavlo asked London what life has been like the past year. London said, "Worse than I could have ever imagined, which is the message I want to deliver to others in this class. The consequences to me were tough, but manageable. Dealing with the onslaught of media and the embarrassment of the arrest were the toughest battle of my life. The really hard part was damage to those innocent of my actions; my family, my employer, and friends. My family has all been impacted in different ways, but their lives all changed. They are all fine and doing quite well, but things are different for them and they need to do things differently as a result. I think about my employer and the angst I caused them as well as the clients involved. It goes without saying, but I never intended any harm. My friends have also been great, they all have been supportive. Probably the most difficult was the loss of friends and colleagues at my former employer. Aside from the chance meetings in restaurants and such, I have not seen or heard from any of them. I worked there for nearly 30 years and there are some longtime relationships that are no longer. That part hurts, but I am moving forward."
Highways need help, but not this way
The New York Times editorial board does not think the corporate tax holiday proposal floating around in the Senate is a good option to fix the Highway Trust Fund.
"Such a reprieve in 2005 was disastrous, in part because it encouraged the hoarding of profits in tax-deferred foreign accounts in anticipation of future tax holidays," the editorial board wrote on June 14. "Another problem is that a tax holiday is grossly unfair to companies that have no foreign presence and get no break on their tax obligations. It also worsens inequality, because profits that escape taxation during a tax holiday flow largely to shareholders and are subsequently taxed at special low rates, if at all."
The New York Times thinks there are better ways to replenish the soon-to-be-depleted highway fund, such as President Obama's proposal to close corporate tax loopholes to finance a four-year, $302 billion highway and public transit program. Contractors and unions are also pressing to index the federal gas tax for inflation and impose other taxes, perhaps on tires or drivers' licenses.
Corporations and their tax shell games: Time for a global crackdown
The Los Angeles Times editorial board praised the European Commission's effort to investigate tax breaks offered by three of its members to lure multinational companies, such as Apple, Starbucks, and Fiat. Yet the European Union's (EU) probe won't touch some of the most controversial profit-shifting techniques, highlighting the need for a global crackdown on corporate shell games, the Los Angeles Timeswrote on Monday.
"The European Commission's investigation will examine whether Ireland, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg allowed Apple, Starbucks, and Fiat, respectively, to transfer assets at artificial prices in order to cut their tax bills, amounting to an impermissible state subsidy," the editorial board wrote. "Fiat and Apple have denied any impropriety, and Starbucks has said it is moving its European headquarters out of the Netherlands. The decisions by the targeted countries, however, are at least as much a focus for investigators as actions by the three companies. If tax officials contorted the transfer pricing rules to attract or keep the companies' business, they did more than reduce the tax revenue collected by other EU states. They put their fingers on the scales of competition and distorted the markets for the companies' goods.
"Sadly, the commission's probe will ignore some of the most notorious techniques used by multinationals to launder profits between subsidiaries in tax havens, such as the 'Double Irish' and 'Dutch sandwich' maneuvers Google and other tech-centric companies have used to shield foreign earnings even from Ireland's low tax rate," the editorial continued. "Such dodges are legal, if unseemly, efforts to stuff global earnings into the gaps left by different countries' tax laws. The more markets become global, and the more companies derive their income from assets that can move easily from country to country, the more widespread these practices will be."

It is, of course, the smart thing to announce that one never touches inflight grub, would far prefer a sandwich from M&S or have a bite to eat on the ground, ahead of the journey. In the way of football enthusiasts knowing just what formation their team should employ and just who the manager should be relying on, the amount of advice on offer to airlines is substantial.
The reality is, of course, that most people are pleased to see a meal because, effectively, there is bugger all else to do on a plane except eat; and, at the very least, the gin and tonic before the meal and wine alongside will settle the nerves of those uneasy at the prospect of being on a flying cigar tube and aid sleep.
Concorde is at the top of the food chain and comes nearest to the food served in a restaurant because it has its own dedicated chef and kitchen. But it still has the same problem as any airline: the customer is 2,000 miles away as opposed to 20ft away from the kitchen.
Several factors dictate what's possible on an aircraft menu. And others, of course, affect whether the result is a pleasure or a waste of calories. First, the practicalities. There's no room. The dishes have to slot into low trays for heating. A towering confection of thinly sliced rare meat with dinky arrangement of veg won't survive the ordeal.
Second, there are things that some people just won't eat - pork, ham, offal and the like, so forget about them.
Third, an airline the size of British Airways would swallow the entire home catch of sea bass or turbot if it were to put them on the menu, so some notion of sustainability is in order.
Lastly, it is a bad idea to poison everyone, and anything that cannot withstand enough heat to keep it safe isn't an option.
Next the peculiarities. Your tastebuds react differently at altitude and the perception of flavours becomes more muted. This affects the wines you drink and the amount of spicing you need to move dishes from bland to stimulating. If the correct answer to all this seems a well-made chicken curry, then you are partially right, but a little more variety is expected. And this is where people like me, Michel Roux of the Waterside Inn, Richard Corrigan of Lindsay House and Mark Edwards of Nobu come in. The Indian side of things is the domain of Vineet Bhatia, chef of Zaika, the country's finest subcontinental eaterie.
The system works like this: the menu and standards people at the airline will ask for ideas on Concorde menus or club-class transatlantic flights. A month later, a posse comprising those who have to choose the dishes and those who will have to make them in bulk will turn up at my tiny restaurant in Ludlow to see what is proposed. A lobster dish with sauce made from chick pea puree, fresh coriander and olive oil goes down well until it is discovered that I cook the fish for just six minutes and that an airline would need a much greater safety margin. Smoked haddock and mustard sauce goes down better, and those who will have the job of actually making the food decide it may be realistic. Twenty dishes may be tried and eight deemed both possible and worthwhile.
Next, I travel to Heathrow to see what sort of fist they have made of the dishes, and it's my turn to be critical. Once heated up in foil containers, the dishes can look a little sad, but this is how they will be warmed on board so it's best to see the reality and work on how to deal with them. Outsiders, like food writer Nick Lander, will pass judgment, and the best of the batch go on to the menus.
I have flown in business and first class a lot to see how it all works from the travellers' point of view. I have to confess that I am, financially and sartorially, an economy-class person but am happy to pass myself off as something more substantial given the chance. Interestingly, in first class, those flying overnight - for it's a long-haul thing - get changed into nightwear and go to sleep in their flatbeds, maybe after having a fruit juice or snack but not much more. It's only an impostor like me that sits there half the night drinking Krug, eating whatever's on offer and watching all the films.
Food has got better on airlines and it's the pressure from those of you who eat out and expect better that keeps up the momentum.

Risky Business
Not surprisingly, fingers are pointing in Washington. For example, in connection with the proposed bank responsibility tax, bank executives argue that they should not have to pay for the bailout of the auto industry, and the administration counters that "major financial institutions were both a significant cause of the crisis and major beneficiaries of the government's rescue efforts and should thus bear the brunt of the cost." (For recent blogs on the tax, see here.) Likewise, in their testimony before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, bank executives admitted making some mistakes, but largely blamed other factors for the economic crisis. "In retrospect, many firms were too highly leveraged, took on too much risk and did not have sufficient resources to manage those risks effectively in a rapidly changing environment." (Quote from the Chairman of Morgan Stanley, John Mack.)
Risk management is a frequently-cited cause of the economic crisis. Commentators and government officials have emphasized the failure of risk management practices in the period leading up to the crisis. For example, Chairman Bernanke stated: "Among other things, our analysis reaffirms that capital adequacy, effective liquidity planning, and strong risk management are essential for safe and sound banking; the crisis revealed serious deficiencies on the part of some financial institutions in one or more of the areas." Risk management failures alone obviously did not cause the crisis, but the crisis certainly highlighted weaknesses in firms' risk management practices. I think this focus on risk management is a welcome wake-up call not only for financial institutions, but also corporate America generally.
Part of my enthusiasm for risk management relates to a developing risk management technique called "enterprise risk management" (ERM). ERM is a holistic approach to risk management, integrating risk management throughout the firm and encouraging firms to create a "risk culture." (For a thorough discussion of ERM basics, see here; for a discussion of ERM failures in the context of the economic crisis, see here.) Many proponents of ERM also encourage more board involvement in setting a firm's risk appetite and designing, implementing and monitoring the firm's overall risk management system. (For my recent article on ERM, see here.)
Now, I do not mean to suggest that ERM will solve all of a firm's problems or prevent the next economic downturn. It will not. I do believe, however, that an effective ERM system can strengthen a firm's internal governance and help the firm and stakeholders better monitor and manage risk. And I do think the board has an important role to play in ERM. Among other things, the board can help create a risk culture and retain executives who buy into that culture and will be effective risk managers on a day-to-day basis.
That being said, I think convincing firms to adopt meaningful ERM will be challenging. What are the consequences if they don't? The Delaware Chancery Court dismissed a claim against Citigroup basically alleging ineffective risk management in connection with the crisis. The bank executives generally all testified at Wednesday's hearing that they had effective risk management; the problem was risk management at other firms. (Although notably, in its written statement, Morgan Stanley did indicate that it worked to strengthen its risk management practices in 2007 and 2008. For all of the testimony from the hearings, see here.) And the SEC's new rules only mandate disclosure about risk management practices.
Perhaps with more discussion and evidence on the effectiveness of ERM, firms will voluntarily implement more meaningful risk management practices. (In particular, I think studies linking ERM to improved productivity are key; profits talks.) Shareholders and creditors also could have an important voice here. So, hopefully the current focus on ERM will evolve into an ongoing best-practices dialogue and not fade with memories of the crisis.

Yes and Yes. (this is in the hardmod section and is specifically for hardmods).
you wont have homebrew or anything but you will find that some of the back ups that would not work before work now because it installes latest cios. i only had hard mod wii because i thought that soft mod was too hard to do but i have just soft modded my other wii and it was easy to do following the guides here on this site now my wii can play anything i throw at it, even xvid movies .and i can load games on hard drive and play (no discs) its worth trying.
I agree with you that softmod is a good way to go...however, this guide does not include the installation of cIOS. It installs a Fakesigned IOS, which allows you to downgrade your system menu. (4.2 prevents out of region gaming so downgrade to 4.1 fixes this)
Ok cool, thanks for clarifying guys. Yeah from what I read softmod would be ideal, but I need to learn a bit more before I start tinkering with it. Judging from extra info, I will still need to do something extra to get SMG2 to work: someone has been helpful in PMing me telling me to use cios38r17 or something, and the why some games won't load thread informs people recieving unable to read disc errors to do this "Download WiiISORenamer.exe Use WiiISORenamer.exe to open your SMG2 ISO.
In the GAMEID box change SB4E01 to RB4E01 and save.
Burn/load as usual."
Hopefully I don't have to do either and simply downgrading to 4.1 will work :confused:
This works and safe to do with 4.3.....(just making sure)
IDK about that, this thread is 4.2-specific.
I dont understand the Install IOS60-64-v6174 with all 3 patches part

This Boston Herald Inside Track video highlights A.J .Soares' and Chris Tierney's soccer moves aboard the world's oldest commissioned warship. The duo spent yesterday afternoon taking a special tour of the U.S.S. Constitution with a group of U.S. sailors.
Kyle McCarthy of MLSsoccer.com reports on the qualities head coach Jay Heaps wants to see manifest in his players – including game management, intangibles and toughness. McCarthy portrays Heaps as being confident in his team's talent level and their ability to succeed in the coming weeks.
ESPN Boston's Brian O'Connell states, "the Revolution may find out exactly what they're made of in the coming weeks as they prepare for an eight-day, three-game gauntlet." In the hopes of coming out on top, O'Connell mentions where he thinks the team can improve to gain that competitive edge.

Commuting and Reimbursement of Residential Relocation Costs
We develop an equilibrium job search model in which employees incur commuting costs, and residential relocation is costly. We demonstrate that firms partially compensate workers for the incurred relocation costs to avoid paying compensation for commuting costs when house prices do not fully compensate the commuting costs. Taxing reimbursement of relocation costs at a higher rate than reimbursement of commuting costs raises the length of the average journey to work and this tax structure should therefore be avoided if one of the governments' policy objectives is to reduce the (external) costs of commuting. © 2007 LSE and the University of Bath

Brother Roger (Roger Louis Schutz-Marsauche), (born May 12, 1915, Provence, Switz.—died Aug. 16, 2005, Taizé, France), Swiss-born religious leader who was the leader of a worldwide ecumenical movement centred at the monastic community that he founded (1940) in Taizé. Brother Roger, as he preferred to be called, devoted his life to the ideals of international peace and reconciliation between Christian churches. By 2005 the Taizé commune where he was prior had drawn thousands of visitors annually and included almost 100 Protestant and Roman Catholic adherents, who took monastic vows. Schutz was the son of a Calvinist preacher and studied theology at the University of Lausanne. He spoke often (he declined to call it preaching) and wrote extensively. His many awards included the second Templeton Prize awarded (1974), the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education (1988), and the Notre Dame award for humanitarian assistance (1997). He reportedly was stabbed to death in church by a mentally unstable woman.

1. In Division One of his great work Being and Time, Martin Heidegger sets out a phenomenology of human intersubjectivity. "Phenomenology" in Heidegger's philosophy is an analysis of the way we experience and observe things: the experiential ground level on top of which all the relationships and distinctions of life are superimposed. "Intersubjectivity" is just a fancy word for the fact that individual humans relate to each other as fellow persons, and (most importantly) communicate with each other, so that the interior life of each is known (to some extent) to others, and individuals live in a network of social relationships.
2. Heidegger points out that much of our socialization happens in the context of an anonymous super-person, "das Man" (normally translated "the they", as in "they say"), which functions as a regulative idea about what is to be done or not done, what is expected, what is reasonable, etc. Just as the orientation of a workshop toward a set of goals determines the significance and placement of tools in the workshop, and the understanding of behavior within the workshop, in a similar way our understanding of "das Man" determines the significance of different gestures and behaviors, and establishes a set of expectations surrounding ourselves and other people.
3. This underlying sense of what "people" are like in general, or what "society" expects, or what "everyone" thinks, functions not as a discrete concept, but as a (generally unexamined) "horizon" which surrounds and frames our experiences of people, and guides our interpretation of them (including ourselves).
4. The notion of "das Man" and the hermeneutical dimension of human intersubjectivity (or "being-with", as Heidegger calls it) — the way social expectations and regulative ideas about "people" affect communication and relationships — has generated a lot of philosophical and sociological literature. Emmanuel Levinas famously sets up the whole notion of being-with against Heidegger and calls for an ethics of radical alterity, in which the personhood of others is allowed to remain distant without being subsumed under a horizon of (individual or communal) social expectations. (Then again, maybe this isn't what Levinas is about — I never really understood what he was saying.)
5. I mention all this stuff about phenomenology and intersubjectivity because I want to talk about an interesting aspect of human self-understanding. I wrote something a few years ago:
The craftsman experiences the consumption and use of his produce as a kind of love: by loving what he has made, people indirectly love him (since his likeness is in the works of his art, however indirectly). It follows that commerce can be a kind of friendship.There the connection between commerce and friendship was made by way of the analogy that exists between an artisan and the objects of his craft. But there's a more obvious point to be made here, which is implied in Aristotle's notion of the "useful friendship". In relationships of commercial exchange both parties perceive the actions of the other as somehow beneficial to themselves. Thus the relationship takes on the nature of a friendship, which is characterized by mutual goodwill. This is always true, even if there is a lack of equity in the perceived benefit, and even when the goodwill is minimal. The result is that, in a society dominated by commercial exchange, where economic relationships are the most universal and most widespread kind of social bond, those who have no place in that web of economic relationships, and do not participate in commercial exchange (whether through labor or trade), experience a kind of social alienation.
6. If Heidegger is right about the way social expectations form a contextual horizon within which which we understand ourselves, others, and human relationships (and of course he is), this applies not just to manners and habits of communication, not even just to moral standards, but also to the construction of each person's understanding of himself, in relation to das Man. A sense of worthlessness tends to infect people who are unemployed, regardless of their objective accomplishments or good habits, simply because of the way their understanding of personal worth relates to the network of economic relationships in which most people participate. I believe new mothers sometimes struggle with this experience. Participation in the network of commerce imparts value. Removal from that network removes value. These are not facts in themselves, but features of our self-understanding based on the common notion of "society" (das Man) against which we judge ourselves.
7. One of the great moral themes of the past two centuries has been the Courage of the Outsider. We love seeing figures who suffer because of their voluntary exclusion from the fold, for the sake of their own sense of mission or morality. In the past two decades, a new theme has swept in, parallel and opposite: the rule that no one should need to be an outsider. The conflict of these two closely held moral principles creates a cultural paradox: we want there to be courageous outsiders who flaunt social norms and expectations, but we want to eliminate the cultural resistance which makes outsiders courageous figures. So we end up with a large number of people who treat flaunting cultural expectations as a hip identity trait, without real social cost, and therefore without any real moral distinction.
8. The fact that marginal or outsider status has become both a privileged moral position and a clarion call for the rectification of the injustice of being an outsider, has created an incentive for individuals and groups to identify themselves as marginal and exploit the moral high-ground for the achievement of their political/social aims. This maneuver doesn't work for everyone, though, and here is an interesting point: in a culture that celebrates outsiders and considers outsider status unjust, the only people who can authentically inhabit the space of the post-Enlightenment Heroic Outsider (in its traditional form) are marginal figures who are not recognized as deserving marginal status.
There's more to be said on this topic, but I'd like to pause here for now.

Play-calling is not the problem.
Winnipeg offensive co-ordinator Jamie Barresi, who doesn't call the plays for the Bombers, says the Blue and Gold's lack of production the first two weeks of the season — Winnipeg has the CFL's poorest offence, despite being 2-0 — is about the players.
"People get carried away with this thing, the play-calling," Barresi said. "As coaches, we look at it and say that's execution. It's very well thought-out, almost to the point of nauseum.
"There's a lot of plays that we could call and if they don't work you guys are going to be all over it. But when you look at it technically, that was a good call. That's what's happened a lot of times. Maybe one thing was just a little bit off."
Like a block by an O-lineman on the first play against Toronto, Friday, preventing quarterback Buck Pierce from having time to set up and hit a wide-open Clarence Denmark, deep. Or like the timing between Pierce and a hobbled Terrence Edwards on the second play, another deep pass that was there for the taking.
"We had a bunch of guys open and we missed them downfield," head coach Paul LaPolice, who calls the plays, said. "And it's tough to get behind Toronto. But that's guys working and repping together."
Barresi says even the Week 1 play that led to Pierce being hammered in Hamilton wasn't a bad call, despite what LaPolice said later.
"That was a great call," Barresi said. "What happened was we just didn't execute it well. And Buck will tell you."
Barresi also doesn't buy the theory most offences need more time to get untracked than defences.
"Not really. I mean, you look at Edmonton right now. They just came out of the gates and they're ready to go. We'll get much better."
As for getting the chance to call the offence, the way most co-ordinators do, Barresi said he'd like to, eventually, in his career.
"Right now I'm fine with it," he said. "I'm doing what I need to do. We all have a roll, here. I'm happy as long as we're making progress."

'Anfield expansion not smart investment'
The cost of redeveloping the Anfield Road end of Liverpool's stadium "is not a smart investment", says chief executive Ian Ayre.
Liverpool opened the redeveloped Main Stand last month, raising capacity to 54,074, and have planning permission to extend Anfield Road by a further 4,800.
But Ayre said: "A stand behind a goal doesn't have the benefit of hospitality that would go a long way to meet the redevelopment costs."
The upgrade would cost about £60-70m.
Club owner John Henry has previously played down the prospect of the work going ahead on the basis ticket prices would have to rise to cover the cost.
Liverpool are worried how fans would react after thousands of protested against plans to charge £77 for some tickets in the club's new Main Stand back in February.
The £100m expansion of the Main Stand is expected to be paid off in six years because of the lucrative income generated by hospitality seating – but that is not the case with the Anfield Road end.
"From a purely general admission perspective, building, say, 6,000 extra seats to take the capacity up to 60,000 would cost somewhere between £60m and £70m," said Ayre, speaking at a meeting of the Liverpool Supporters' Committee (LSC).
"At £12,000 to £13,000 per seat, it would take approximately 15 years to pay back, which is not a smart investment for the business."
Ayre told the meeting the club was open to fan investment to help fund further redevelopment of the ground and said conversations should take place.

Smoky!!! Peaty!!!! My husband said that it tastes like Laphroaig scotch, and I have to agree! I began thinking it a bit overwhelming, but by the end of my cup, it really grew on me. I am curious to try it mixed one teaspoon Jackee Muntz one teaspoon Thomas Sampson to make a killer English Breakfast type blend for 16 oz of water.
I did another steep(at 4:30) and it tastes like butterscotch! I prefer the second one, my husband says he loves both! Either way, I think this one is good for when you are in the mood for something heavy, or in the mood for multiple steeps with a black tea. I would also like to try a first steep at 3:45/190 degrees for bake-y :)
Oh and my husband says he gives this tea an 88. :)

Farm community | Officials look to attract new farmers with skills training and mentorship
ALDERGROVE, B.C. — British Columbia has the lowest percentage of farmers younger than 35 in Canada and the highest average age of farm operators at 56, according to Statistics Canada's 2011 Census of Agriculture.
A report prepared this year for South Coast Community Futures and the B.C. agriculture ministry made nine recommendations aimed at attracting young entrepreneurs and sustaining primary and secondary agricultural operations.
They include more government support, skills training, farm internships, incubator farms and mentorship.
Mark Robbins, a retired regional agrologist, prepared the report, A Path to New Farm Business Success, with his daughter, Jill Robbins, vice-president of B.C. Young Farmers.
The Robbins, who produce pasture raised poultry near Aldergrove, say family farms are not seeing as many of their members continue to farm as in the past, so a new source of operators needs to be tapped.
"We have to start getting young farmers from elsewhere," she said.
Jill said there is a growing movement of young urban residents interested in finding sustainable and economical ways to grow food, citing the Young Agrarians as an example.
"We want to know how to support them," she said.
The Robbins say farming will be a steep learning curve for newcomers, so skills training and knowledge transfer between generations have to happen first.
"Most need about two to three years on their own plot, with support," said Mark.
The report recommends that the agriculture ministry and the B.C. Agriculture Council create start-up programs for new farmers, including a farm mentor, access to land and small operating loans.
At the Robbins' farm, a young market gardener is growing vegetables to sell from the family's farm store.
"Most farmers have a quarter or half acre they could do without," said Jill.
"It allows someone to get a start and see if they can make a business out of it."
Farmland prices are high in the Fraser Valley, at $50,000 to $100,000 an acre, but specialty operations catering to niche markets like the Robbins' can generate $30,000 an acre on seven acres.
"I look at farming as a business and it's a good business," Mark said.
"It works for intensive operations. We're not growing grain here."
Jill, who lives in Mission, B.C., with her husband and works part time in mediation, would like to run the family's operation or buy land nearby, but said young farmers face many barriers.
"As it stands right now, it could not sustain two families. It needs to grow," she said.
In her interviews with aspiring growers, she found most are looking for mentorship, access to land through leasing options and financing.
"They are businesspeople," she said.
"They want to give it a real shot, to make a profit and to work hard and put in the time and effort to get there."
The Fraser Valley's good soil and water, when combined with a mild climate and close proximity to markets and services, offer ideal conditions for farming, she said.
Jill said diverse, small and large operations are workable in the Fraser Valley, noting how her farm uses a commercial poultry operator just minutes from the farm to process 3,600 chickens and 1,200 turkeys.
"We need a little of both for a healthy mix."

Bargaining in Collusive Markets
In this paper we investigate collusion in an infinitely repeated Bertrand duopoly where firms have different discount factors. In order to study how a collusive agreement is reached we model the equilibrium selection as an alternating-offer bargaining game. The selected equilibrium has several appealing features: First, it is efficient in the sense that it entails immediate agreement on the monopoly price. Second, the equilibrium shows how discount factors affect equilibrium market shares. A comparative statics analysis on equilibrium market shares reveals that changes in discount factors may have ambiguous effects on market shares.

Township meets to discuss park idea
At the Monday, Jan. 14 meeting of the Somerset Township's Parks and Recreation committee, more than 18 residents attended to voice their concerns about the potential purchase of the St. Croix National Golf Course.
"They have another buyer that will possibly close this month," Denise Gunderson, chair of the Park Committee, said. "Funding was an issue."
The 210+ acre property was up for auction late last year. The owner, Wendell Pittenger, operates four other golf courses in Minnesota.
"For his own personal reasons, he wants to get out of it," Gunderson said at the meeting. "He doesn't want to wait for the Township to raise the money."
The whole issue came up at the Jan.2 Township meeting. John Gunther, Park Committee member, presented a proposal to buy the golf course property for $2.2 million, with a $100,000 non-refundable up front payment. He, along with the Park Board, suggested the property and buildings be used for walking trails, cross-country skiing, etc.
"This property was evaluated May 19, 2007 at $6 million," Gunther said at the Jan. 2 meeting. "If you look at the value, it's a tremendous opportunity."
The presentation prompted many people to debate the rationale of buying an ailing golf course. Gunderson reiterated that there were many possibilities for the property.
"Ballfields, trails, playing fields, hunting, possible town hall - these can be part of the concept plan," Gunderson said.
According to a Parks and Recreation survey sent to all Somerset Township residents in July 2006, "paved hiking/walking trails" were the most desired. Biking trails were next; soccer fields and baseball fields came in 10th and 11th.
"Our surveys showed there is an overwhelming cry for walking trails," Ginny Gaynor, Committee member, said.
Many residents at the Jan. 14 meeting voiced their concerns about the suitability of the St. Croix National property for ballfields.
"If we can't afford ballfields for our kids, how are we going to afford buying land to watch birds?" one resident asked.
"You guys have tunnel vision," a resident told the Board. "It's beautiful piece of land, but it's not flat for fields and doesn't fulfill our needs."
"I don't see the Township buying it now," another resident said. "It'd be better to buy a flat piece of land so it'd be easier to excavate."
"We had talked about a concept plan to see what is feasible on that particular property," Gunderson answered. "We won't own that property today. But if it becomes available in the future, is this something we as a community would want? Right now I'm hearing you don't want it."
The parks and recreation committee said they had a duty to look at every opportunity to meet the expressed needs of the community. Although they knew raising the money for this particular property would be difficult, Gunderson said if the community really wanted to move forward with it, the committee would do their best to push for it to happen.
"We were creating a park plan," Gunderson said. "When we were going over the draft, this property came up out of the blue and made us wonder if we needed to expand our plan. If it came upon us again, would we want to have an open area like this?"
Another resident asked what happened with the West Wisconsin Land Trust. Gunderson said at the Jan. 2 meeting that the organization had helped other communities purchase park property, and they had expressed an interest in this situation.
"He came to get more information," Gunderson said. "They wanted to know if the community was interested."
"The group is good at helping people get grants for a preservation project, but they do not have a pot of money themselves," Bill Lawson, committee member, said.
Another resident asked about some undeveloped property that the Township already owns. The 55 acres at 45th and 108th Avenue was previously an old dump site, now it is owned jointly by the Village and Township.
"We have to decide what to do with it," Gunderson said. "It's hilly in the southeast corner; would be great for walking paths. However there are some restrictions with it being an old dump site - we wouldn't be able to have water there."
Many residents asked that the committee develop a list of potential properties, get financing set for them and then present their options to the Board for approval. The committee members said it could take up to a year to get a grant approval and land appraisals.
"We've been compiling a list for ballfields," Gaynor said. "Maybe we should start one for open land too."
With a show of hands, half of those in attendance, including Board members, indicated they would like to continue to investigate open land potential for the community. The committee said they will take their park plan to the Town Board for the February meeting.
"I'm glad it's been a buzz in town," Gunderson said about the whole issue.
"This is the most people we've had attend a meeting," Lawson agreed. "It comes down to getting people involved."

Maybe the Maple Leafs should put a stop to these glitzy pre-game ceremonies honouring their greats of today and yesteryear.
We're not suggesting that Borje Salming did not deserve having his number hoisted to the rafters on opening night against the Ottawa Senators.
Or that the Leafs organization should not have made such a nice presentation to Mats Sundin last night for scoring career goal No. 500 on the weekend.
Both earned the recognition they received.
But perhaps the team's luck would change if such festivities were held after the games, not before.
Not to offer up a conspiracy theory here, but consider the facts.
The Leafs have lost just two games in regulation time thus far.
The first was a 4-1 defeat to the Ottawa Senators on the night of the Salming love-in.
The second came last night when the visiting Colorado Avalanche spoiled Mats-mania at the Air Canada Centre with a 4-1 win.
In reality, this loss had little to do with the festivities prior to the game.
It had everything to do with a misfiring power play that has scored just five times in the team's first seven outings.
Not to mention some sloppy work in the defensive end.
"I think, more than anything, we were sluggish after not having played for a few days," Sundin said. "I hope that's the reason anyway."
The Leafs' previous game was a 5-4 victory over the Calgary Flames Saturday, the night Sundin notched his milestone marker.
"We didn't have the pace or the intensity that we've had in previous games," he said. "We've played seven games and I think this was our weakest one, so we've just got to get out there and play better."
The Leafs came out of the gates with a flourish, hitting the scoreboard just 122 seconds after the opening faceoff when Bates Battaglia notched his second goal of the season.
But the Avs seemed to control most of the remaining 58 minutes and rode a pair of goals from John-Michael Liles and singles by Brett McLean and Milan Hejduk to victory.
The Leafs did feel they were hard done by when the apparent go-ahead goal was waved off early in the second during a wild goal-mouth scramble. The score was 1-1 at the time.
"I don't know what the logic was for not counting it," said Jeff O'Neill, who appeared to shove goalie Peter Budaj's arm over the goal line with the puck under it.
"Matt Stajan was nearby and he said he saw it go in."
Instead of having a 2-1 lead, the Leafs watched Colorado score the next three goals to snatch the win.
Coach Paul Maurice said his team stopped skating after peppering Budaj, the former St. Mike's Major, in the game's early moments.
If the capacity crowd of 19,463 had a difficult time identifying many of the players in the Colorado lineup, they certainly had a legitimate reason to be confused.
There are plenty of big names who have left the two-time Stanley Cup winners since the Avs last made an appearance in Toronto during the 2003-04 season.
Gone are forwards Peter Forsberg, Alex Tanguay, Paul Kariya, Teemu Selanne and defencemen Rob Blake and Adam Foote, an all-star cast if ever there was one.
Yet this younger, more inexperienced Avs squad still found a way to force the Leafs into mistakes.
The young defence tandem of Ian White and Jay Harrison struggled as did veterans Bryan McCabe and Tomas Kaberle, who logged about 30 minutes each.
Asked if that was too much ice time, Maurice replied: "It is because it was primarily in our end of the ice.
"I would like to play them a little less."

About the Book
I've greatly enjoyed the past years of photographic exploration. I've called this book Sketches in Analog as I see this as a collection of rough ideas, created as an illustrator sketches a rough copy of a new work. Some of these images were made quickly with no idea what the outcome would be, others with care and attention to detail. I find my place is in the tension between these extremes. Represented here are a range of processes, print & reversal film scans, silver gelatin prints, inkjet prints, cyanotypes, and of course instant photography. Thanks for taking the time. I hope you enjoy what you see as much as I've enjoyed creating it, if that is possible.

We have two stories today about belief in virgin births.
This first one is a survey of pregnant women. The more religious, where virginity was valued, reported that they were still virgins. Is this what they believe or what they WANT YOU to believe. Regardless, this is a sad result that the researches first thought was a mistake.
About one in two hundred women report having had virgin births, according to new research | National Post.
A tiny slice of modern day Americans are reporting having had virgin births, according to a new paper published in a respected medical journal Tuesday.
In the longitudinal study of adolescent health, 0.5% of the 7,870 female respondents consistently affirmed their status as virgins, yet reported a virgin birth without the use of reproductive technologies.
The virgins who reported pregnancies were also 30.5% more likely to have taken chastity pledges than the non-virgins who had reported pregnancies, the study found. Their average age was 19.
The parents of the virgins who had reported pregnancies were also more likely than parents of non-virgins to admit they didn't know enough about sex and birth control to discuss it with their adolescent daughters, nor were they comfortable doing so.
While there are massive limitations to self-reported studies, especially on sensitive subjects such as sex, these responses were elicited with state-of-the-art technology — laptops, on which the respondents could type in their own answers, rather than verbally share them with an interviewer in person or by phone.
God is a total playa! Either that or they're just lying.
Sex ed is important. We ought to teach teens about birth control, proper condom use, STIs as well as the biological process for conception and pregnancies. This is the most basic stuff you should learn as preparation for adulthood. There is no room for this kind of ignorance in a modern society. Ridiculous myths about pregnancy help no one.

High Quality Monitoring with Location Anonymization for WSN
Due to technological advances in sensor technologies, Wireless Sensor Networks are widely used for location monitoring. In such systems monitoring personal locations is done through Internet server. As the server is untrusted, it may cause threats pertaining to privacy of individuals being monitored. This is the potential risk to be addressed. This paper presents two algorithms to address this problem. These algorithms achieve two purposes. The first one is that they can improve quality of monitoring locations while the second one is for location anonymization so as to preserving personal location privacy.

This is a big game. They're all big games, but if ever Detroit was to win at home (in the regular season), it should be this one. We have a kid all the way from Brazil in town to see this one and a lot of people who have done tremendous things, small and large, to make this happen and to donate lots and lots of money to charity. It's a game against the Minnesota Wild, but more importantly, it's the culmination of H2H.
Here's your poster, a recent movie based off of one of my favorite children's books. Good win last night Pinky, but you know what I think Joe Louis Arena is tonight?
March 26th: Minnesota Wild @ Detroit Red Wings
An adolescent named Herm has an active imagination, and he will throw fits if others don't go along with what he wants. Herm – following an incident with The 19 from A2Y and their friends, and following a party at Hockeytown Cafe which they throw as a result of his internet friends paying more in charity to the DMC Children's Hospital than to him – runs away from home. Wearing his Helm jersey at the time, Herm not only runs away physically, but runs toward a world in his imagination. This world, an ocean away, is inhabited by large wild beasts, including one named Jonathan Ericsson who is much like Herm himself in temperament. Instead of eating Herm like they normally would with creatures of his type, the Red Wings befriend Herm after he proclaims himself a king who can magically solve all their problems.
Let's win this one for Herm and all the people who helped make this night happen. Go Wings!

Sometimes, if you keep plugging away, you can pull something off — even if its daunting during the low points along the way.
Two years ago, we wrote about San Francisco's Yipes, which provides "managed ethernet services" for corporate customers. At the time, it was raising yet another $24 million more in venture capital. The funding cycles seemed endless. Launched in 1998, it had gone through bankruptcy had raised a whopping $385 million — a seeming impossible amount to generate a profit from. One more symbol of the excess of the Bubble.
We called the company "Yikes."
Today we learn the company has just been acquired for $300 million by Reliance Communications. Groups like NEA, Focus and Sprout kept investing in the company through the years and probably didn't make much, if anything. But newcomer Crosslink Capital, which led the turnaround beginning 2005, has apparently done very well — because it's stake wasn't watered down by the restructuring, and it held a major chunk of the company. At least someone is a winner in the saga.

Auditors say that Metrolink's financial management has been so sloppy that the Southern California commuter rail system might not even be able to detect fraud in its account.
The Orange County Register reports ( http://bit.ly/YhVKrm ) an audit of Metrolink's books found that some accounts had not been properly reconciled and that oversight could lead to possible irregularities in the financial records, including fraud.
The report comes on the heel of an internal review that found Metrolink could not account for millions of dollars in unpaid bills, let alone collect them.
The audit tallied up to $38 million owed to Metrolink in June 2012, most of which was still going uncollected in January. It warned - as did the internal review a month ago - that failing to collect the bills would make it hard to maintain an adequate cash flow.
Metrolink is a $194 million-a-year regional rail commuter system serving Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties.
The counties split the costs to keep the trains running. Metrolink typically fronts the money for construction projects, then bills the counties for reimbursement. But the internal review concluded that "it is not clear that Metrolink staff even has a clear idea about what funds member agencies owe."
Metrolink board member Richard Katz said during a meeting Friday to review the draft audit that officials were in the process of fixing "what had been a seriously screwed-up financial system."
Acting Chief Financial Officer Patricia Kataura said at the meeting that in the past few weeks Metrolink has sent out around $33 million in those back bills.
The agency has also restructured its finance department and is upgrading its accounting systems.
Metrolink's former chief financial officer turned in her resignation after the results of the internal review were given to board members last month.

Bonjour, Ike,
Une bien jolie peinture réalisée ici. Le cadrage valorise bien le patrimoine de la ville.
Quant à ces bateaux amarrés se balançant au gré du vent, cela donne un charme évident à la composition.
J'aime beaucoup.

Good Morning Ike,
It makes you want to sing 'Memories are made of this ...! A great memento of your Italiand holiday.
I like how you have composed the shot, with the boats in a diagonal across the frame, and paralleled by a second line. They make a natural lead to the pretty pastel houses, which surround the harbour and contain the interest in the f/g.
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Ike,
A fine capture from this attractive seaside town with its busy harbour. The moored boats give the image depth with the church tower making a good focal point. Love the pleasant ambient light and soft pastel colours of the façades.
pierrefonds (76307) 2012-09-17 4:31
Hi Ike,
The distance between the boast and the buildings is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the buildings. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,
a wonderful view of Portofino including many rows of boats until the quay, the piazza and the hills. Depth and perspective are superb and inviting, you have achieved a very elegant and appealing composition. The light is lovely and invigorating, the colours vibrant and delightful. I particularly like the texture and colour of the sea, it looks like glass. Your workshop picture is lovely and of a great quality too. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,

Portofino tourism destination in the evening returns a village "intimate" and pleasant.
The villas lit and the harbor with its boats, wooden handicrafts and gems.
The church the dock.
What he sought writers and "travelers" in early 1900.
A POV and colors to "enjoy" the most of the scene.

Caro Ike
I can never tire of this paradise, thank you for sharing it with us, it's almost as good as taking the holiday myself :) Beautiful colours, graphisms and dynamism. The place looks so dynamic, so busy and so much fun. You have captured the colours, the atmosphere and the grand Italian style so well.
Un caro saluto
josepmarin (58359) 2012-09-19 9:34
Hi Ike,
a splendid capture with a good framing, with which you offer us the great beauty of this village as in a beautiful postcard.
The wonderful architecture of the houses, their soft colors, the boats in the small port, and the hills in background, create a very attractive composition, with a good light and a high chromatic quality.
Nice work.
Best regards,

Bonjour, Ike,
I passed through Genoa (Genova) in summer 2013 but didn't go to Portofino. Nice to see what I missed and it looks to be a lovely seaside fishing village, too. Good colour and sharpness. Nice reflections in the water. Amazing repetition of the boats. Tfs!

My dog just died, how do I cope?
I knew this day was coming for a while now. I got my her when she was around 2 or 3 while I was in kindergarten. I am now about to come up on my 20th birthday. We booked her an appt about 2 weeks ago to have her evaluated, but since then she stopped eating and drinking. When we drove to the vet today I held her in my lap. I miss her so much already, but I feel so angry. Not angry because she died, but angry because for some reason, my sister's husband came with us. I do not like this man, I haven't since I met him when I was 12. I know it sounds selfish, but his presence and him trying to not have me look although I chose to stay in the room with her,pissed me off. I was trying to watch my dog peacefully die because I felt like i had to and I know i wanted to. I did not need to hear him or him telling me what to do…. I guess I got a little off, but how can I cope when I am so angry that I was robbed of being peacefully with my dog as she died? I am angry and I am also frustrated with myself that I let him bother me. I don't know how to feel.
