Chip maker Amimon is announcing today that it has created wireless modules that can connect computers and high-definition TVs so that consumers can effortlessly watch PC content on their TVs.
The devices could make it a lot easier to watch PC-based Internet videos, flash media, digital photos and games on a TV. Based on the Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI) wireless standard, the new chips can be embedded into notebook computers or netbooks, which are smaller than laptops and are meant for surfing the web. The modules can wirelessly transfer data from the computer to the TV screen, which would also have a wireless module attached to it, at high speed. It would be fast enough to smoothly transfer HD video, the Herzlia, Israel-based company says.
The modules (pictured) are pretty small and can transfer HD video wirelessly throughout a home. The notebook computers with the WHDI modules are expected to be on the market in 2010. Amimon's WHDI wireless chips use the 5-gigahertz radio spectrum to transfer data wirelessly.
Amimon raised $10 million in funding in July.
Amimon's latest chips can transfer full high-definition video, which is defined as video in the 1080p format running at 60 frames per second. The previous chip set could only do 1080i video at slower speeds. The new chip set is compliant with the WHDI industry standard and is expected to ship in customer products in 2010.
Amimon's second-generation technology operates in the 5-gigahertz band, transmits data at 3 gigabits per second, and has a range of about 100 feet. It can pierce through walls and is very responsive. Since a rival technology, ultra wideband, has pretty much died on the vine, Amimon doesn't have a ton of competitors.
SiBEAM is one rival that is using a different technology, based on the 60-gigahertz band of the radio spectrum, with higher speeds but shorter ranges. SiBEAM says it can transfer data at 4 gigabits per second. Another new rival is Quantenna, which uses the Wi-Fi protocol 802.11n to transfer video wirelessly.
Amimon plans to use the money to expand its production and worldwide operations. Investors include round leader Stata Venture Partners and all prior investors: Argonaut Private Equity, Cedar Fund, Evergreen Venture Partners, and Walden Israel and Motorola through their strategic venture capital arm, Motorola Ventures.
Amimon was founded in 2004 and has raised $50 million to date.

A former Wall Street Journal editor and the current president and CEO of the Atlantic Council, Frederick Kempe draws on recently released documents and personal interviews to re-create the powder keg that was 1961 Berlin. In Cold War Berlin, the United States and the Soviet Union stand nose to nose, with the possibility of nuclear war just one misstep away.
©2011 Frederick Kempe (P)2011 Recorded Books
"I am scared in retrospect"
I was living in Berlin as an American military dependent during the time period that this book examines. I was horrified to learn how close we came, those of us living in West Berlin and going about our daily lives, to being vaporized by the Russians. I must have sensed the anxiety because I remember vividly asking my father on a regular basis "If we went to war with the Russians, who would win?" I remember the question. I do not remember the answer. My father was the commanding officer of AFN Berlin, the American Forces Network radio station at the time. We had no TV. We only had the radio. I remember all the circumstances described in the book. I was largely unaware of the context. Indeed, I was in East Berlin on a "tour" with my sister and a Swedish cousin who was visiting, one week before the wall went up. I was actually in Sweden visiting relatives with my parents the day the wall went up on August 13, 1961. I remember vividly the trek thru the Eastern Germany and the Checkpoint like a Hitchcock movie. We hurried back to West Berlin as my two younger brothers were still in the city in the care of a babysitter. My father is no longer alive to discuss these events with me so I only have the memories of the time and the conversations we had about those events. I found this book to be so insightful albeit terrifying. It is so frightening to learn after the fact how close to the front line we were living (for 5 years!) unaware of the danger we were in. Berlin, its charm and its drama had such an effect on all of the Americans that lived through those days that we have "found" each other and formed a group, a collective it you will. The experience defines us like no other experience has. Mr. Kempe did an outstanding job bringing those days to life again.... in all their triumph and fear. Reading the book I felt in a way that family secrets were being revealed. Enjoyed this book immensely and have recommended it hi
"Eye opening"
I was a young child during this time, and didn't know about this. I had heard bits and pieces but nothing as detailed as this.
The history facts.
No, was just amazed that I had never heard the history stated in this way
"Practical information we can use today"
They are both good.
Everything was memorable.
Yes. This compares well with his other performances. I wish Paul Hecht could read all books.
I wouldn't rename this book.
"First rate history of often overlooked crisis"
I give this book a 5 because it sustained an exciting narrative until the final scene. After going over every detail of the building cris over several months the author skips through the climatic showdown rather breezily. The epilogue reveals the authors neocon preferences for how Kennedy should have handled Berlin. Not a neocon myself but respect his points, worthy of debate. Highly recommend this book.
"Important history well told"
Easy to follow and well narrated. A story full of interesting insight with just enough relevant detail to fill up the canvas. A gut-wrenching tale of how close we came to nuclear war. A war prevented in spite of the foibles of men, skewed perceptions of the other, and the chance of history. The wall was an afterthought that came about due to its own momentum. A band-aid that held throughout the Cold War.
"Superb in every way"
A very well written, and equally well read, telling of the behind-the-scenes facts during a dangerously fascinating time in world history
"A good history lesson."
Important reading at present when the world is in the hands of lunatics. Audible is pure pleasure
"the truth hurts
the book interspersed the dry timeline of political events with the emotional human side well

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! Remember the date: Fall 2004 will go down in history as the moment when the Motor City finally cast aside its feeble efforts in the mid-size sedan arena and once again began building big, bold, American four-doors with the moxie and the quality to seriously challenge the segment-leading Japanese brands. Hallelujah.Gathered here are the latest three from this long-overdue Midwestern-design renaissance: the audacious Chrysler 300, the substantial Ford Five Hundred, and the beguiling Buick LaCrosse. Two of the three contain substantial underpinnings sourced from familiar corporate relations in Europe. Lurking beneath the Ford Five Hundred is a sizeable chunk of the Volvo S80's platform, while the Chrysler 300's skeleton has plenty of previous-generation Mercedes-Benz bones to it. But don't bother with the details, because at their heart is pure American attitude.Are these three new Americans as good as the fanfare suggests? To find out, we've pitted them against that American-style sedan benchmark with the distant country code: the Toyota Avalon. Let the fireworks begin.Driving Toyota's Avalon is like going to Disneyland and seeing Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. It's not actually Abe up there, but a high-tech facsimile constructed to give you a credible Abe experience. Instead of delivering the Gettysburg Address, however, Toyota's mechanical subterfuge provides a recreation of a decades-earlier American automotive driving experience: the hushed, bank-vault quietness that armor-gauge bodywork once afforded, the liquidy-lope called "boulevard ride," and the room to sprawl lazily and stretch your legs.This second-generation Avalon has impressively managed to emulate these feats atop the previous-generation Camry's aging platform, despite little difference to its wheelbase, track width, or overall length. To achieve the Avalon's generous interior room, Toyota wriggled out of these confines by inflating the car's profile, causing one driver to call its looks a Toon-Town version of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Rough, perhaps, but the Avalon does have remarkably slab-sided flanks, as though it were an entrant in a contest to see what you could do to flat sheetmetal and technically still call it styling.Inside, the Avalon is a studied homage to 1960s GM interior decorating. The sunken, stretched-taffy dash, in particular, looks as if it were stolen from the American Dashboard Museum's exhibit on the year 1968, albeit snapped into the 21st Century via a navigation display placed smack-center in the panorama. Amusingly, this nav system is operated by a remote control that's removable from its center-console nest, the reason being that rear passengers might want to play around with it, too. Quipped one driver, "If this car added only a footrest to the reclining driver's seat and a sandwich dispenser in the dash, I don't think my grandfather would need my grandmother at all." All kidding aside, the Avalon, even an aging one, is a compelling proposition if your singular aim is to travel silently and serenely between GPS coordinates in a quality automobile. It's no surprise then that it topped our list on ride quality and finished second in interior-noise suppression. But, dynamically, nobody's home. The brakes are soggy on quick application, and the front tires squeal at the rumor of a turn.Can you have near-Avalon isolation together with entertaining driving dynamics and expressive design? Our three new American challengers are raising their hands to argue that, yes, indeed, you can.One waving hand belongs to the Buick LaCrosse. Replacing the Century and the Regal, the LaCrosse is the Buick GM figures to be just right. Ours was fitted with the 240-horse 3.6-liter V-6 equipped with variable actuation of the intake and exhaust valve timing (the stalwart 200-horse, 3.8-liter V-6 soldiers on as well). It's replete in premium CXS trim, which brings to our road party thicker anti-roll bars, 17-inch wheels and tires, a well-tuned (for a change) Magnasteer power assist, and cushier jounce and rebound snubbers (featured on all LaCrosses) to help damp the wheel's pinball-machine antics over harsh surfaces.While the benefits of all this technical enhancement were duly verified by our cold-blooded test equipment (with gold stars for an 8.0-second 0-to-60 mph time and 0.78 g around the skidpad), on the open road, our warm-blooded scribes were repeatedly given pause by their own written words: "This Buick really handles…did I actually just write that?" Granting that this is an aging platform still possessed of a few niggling quivers, it's impressive how willing the CXS is to be grabbed by the scruff of the neck and hustled through the switchbacks. It's no BMW, but it's no ordinary, old-fashioned Buick, either.That the CXS isn't your father's Buick is apparent in the interior, where the design is fresh if uneven in material quality (we just might have here the world's first example of fake paisley-pattern walnut). But you have to wonder if Buick is kissing-off its traditional clientele by so densely clustering the center stack's tiny sound and ventilation buttons or by the profoundly obscure operation of some of the switchgear (for instance, to electrically pop open the trunk, you must hold down the door-unlock button). While younger PDA and iPod-types will take to this sort of control arcane like duck soup, is it really so difficult to dumb-down the ergonomics for drivers with more than a learner's permit? These left-brain gripes tend to dissolve, though, when the right brain is given a chance to tour the undulating, rather feminine bodywork. Walk around the LaCrosse in a deserted parking lot, and somehow your fingers tend to trace along the delicate grille and sinewy headlamp shapes…um, perhaps it's time we move on to the Ford Five Hundred.Together with its crossover sidekick, the Freestyle, the Five Hundred represents a tall stack of chips placed on the bet that, after years of virtual abandonment of the big-sedan segment (the Crown Vic doesn't count), the Blue Oval will be welcomed back with all forgiven. Fortunately, the Five Hundred is one tasty box of sorry-about-that candy. Our example is a six-speed front-drive version (a CVT is also available, as is all-wheel drive), powered by the only engine choice at the moment, a much-modified 3.0-liter Duratec V-6. At a modest 203 horses, the power deficit is a bit much even for the close-ratio automatic to offset (wriggling through the cut-and-thrust of modern urban traffic produces an auditory spectacle of roaring downshifts). If that's all there was to the Five Hundred, there'd be plenty of wringing hands in Dearborn right about now.Fortunately, there's lots more, starting with the Ford's voluminous packaging. Although it's a big car, the Five Hundred is as frugal with its space as any minicar. The interior is Michael Moore-roomy, the trunk is huge (some would say it's also Michael Moore-roomy), and its outward vision is particularly thoughtful, with elevated eye-levels, large picture windows, square mirrors, and retractable rear headrests that scrunch out of view when not needed.As an object of visual desire, the Five Hundred will bring a welcome dose of taste to suburbia's driveways. This is an understated sedan, with good proportions, restrained details, and next-to-no garish frills. Some will see a 125-percent Passat in profile that's been pumped-up, as we say in California. Inside, the dash is elegantly European with oversized boxy seats (that approach Germanic firmness); only the dreaded Ford, one-size-fits-all gauges let some air out of the balloon.Acceleration aside (a languid 8.6 seconds to 60 mph), on the road, the Five Hundred's is as competent dynamically as it is visually. Roll and dive are well-controlled. The brake pedals are firm, linear, and responsive. The Five Hundred also handles well, though this accolade should be shared with the our Limited version's Pirelli P6 tires. It's said Jac Nasser (former CEO of Ford Motor) was so impressed by the Volvo S80 (which shares componentry with the Five Hundred) that he bought the company. And a big, bargain-basement Volvo doesn't seem a bad idea.Stylistically, the Chrysler 300 is a sort of Dorian Gray among automotive shapes. Handsome and chic in 2004, with little modification it could seamlessly time travel to the Truman administration and look equally era-appropriate. And it's particularly slick how nearly every detail of this car's shape works in such tight orchestration. For instance, just follow the front fender's horizontal cut line as it attractively flows to bisect the headlamp package. See?Inside, the shape of the hood's broad form is smartly picked up by the dash, which then extends the line well into the cabin, giving the car an uncanny feeling of power and authority viewed from behind the wheel. While the interior dimensions are surprisingly generous in light of the chopped profile, the side windows, particularly the rear side windows, are diminutive portholes, adequate for casual glances at passing billboards, but face-print magnets when rolling through Yosemite or Manhattan. At night, flicking on the headlamps illuminates a special dial cluster, a quartet of discs marked in fine deco geometries and vintage letterings. Alight, they glow in an aqua blue, like four small lighted swimming pools seen from the air. Cool.It's at night–and the later the better–when it's hard to resist being swept up in the 300's retro charisma. As the dash-center clock ticks toward midnight, reality seems to fuzz into one of those film-noir classics set in the 1930s. A glance in the rearview mirror could reveal Humphrey Bogart in a dark suit, loosened necktie, and cocked hat, "Relax, buddy, and just drive. You and me are gonna go for a ride down to the harbor, if you know what I mean…"On the road, the 300 is a satisfying drive. Slamming the door closed, you immediately feel encased within an unexpectedly solid structure, which results in a multitude of payoffs, including better resistance to ride shudders, a more solid basis for the steering system, and an interior cavity more immune to road-impact booms. Pressed hard, the Chrysler nods and obliges, steering efficiently if a bit lazily through bends. The brakes (like the Ford's and Buick's) offer a pleasantly firm pedal feel, a radical improvement over the mushy pedals of old-time domestics. And the Touring variant's engine–the 250-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 middle offering (spaced between the base 2.7-liter and the fire-breathing Hemi)–is a more than adequate choice (8.0 seconds to 60 mph), even for spirited driving. ConclusionIf you were a teen today and your dad rolled up in the Avalon, you'd slowly shake your head and think, gee, the guy's really starting to show his age. Although stately in the car-pool lane, pressed hard on driver's roads, our fourth-place Toyota quickly starts to rock 'n' roll in entirely the wrong sort of way.Not so the third-place Buick (particularly this precise-handling CXS version), which represents a solid step forward in roadability and quietness for its maker. Principally, only a lack of visual testosterone and a confined back seat significantly weigh against it.There's even one fewer reservation weighing against our second-place Ford, a sharp-looking and agile sedan whose voluminous interior would certainly wink with possibilities for any respectably rambunctious teenager come Saturday night. And even that singular greenlight-Bronx cheer will be erased in about two years with the arrival of a 3.5-liter V-6 under its hood.However, if it were our test-winning Chrysler's parking brake being set in the driveway, there'd be a whoop and a pumped fist for this well-balanced rear-driver that almost seems to drip with sex appeal.For those of us older than teenagers, all three of these new sedans represent a breakthrough for anyone who's yearned for credible, world-class domestic cars to emerge from Detroit again. While the Chrysler 300 may be the leader of the pack, all three of these cars are leading a dramatic return of domestic respectability. When's the last time you had a BMW driver stop next to you at a light and longingly stare at your Chrysler? Motown's mojo is definitely back.Testing Results 2005 Buick LaCrosse CXS 2005 Chrysler 300 Touring 2005 Ford Five Hundred Limited 2004 Toyota Avalon XLS Powertrain/Chassis Drivetrain layout Front engine, fwd Front engine, rwd Front engine, fwd Front engine, fwd Engine type 60° V-6, alum block/heads 60° V-6, alum block/heads 60° V-6, alum block/heads 60° V-6, alum block/heads Valve gear DOHC, 4 valves/cyl, variable intake and exhaust SOHC, 4 valves/cyl DOHC, 4 valves/cyl DOHC, 4 valves/cyl,variable intake Bore x stroke, in/mm 3.70 x 3.37 / 94.0 x 85.6 3.78 x 3.19 / 96.0 x 81.0 3.50 x 3.13 / 89.0 x 79.5 3.44 x 3.27 / 87.5 x 83.0 Displacement, ci/cc 217.5 / 3564 214.7 / 3518 181.1 / 2967 182.7 / 2995 Compression ratio 10.2:1 (est) 9.9:1 0.0:1 10.5:1 Max SAE net horsepower 240 @ 6000 rpm 250 @ 6400 rpm 203 @ 5750 rpm 210 @ 5800 rpm Max SAE net torque, lb-ft 225 @ 2000 rpm 250 @ 3800 rpm 207 @ 4500 rpm 220 @ 4400 rpm Specific output, hp/liter 67.3 71.1 68.4 70.1 Weight to power, lb/hp 15.2 15.1 18.6 16.5 Redline, rpm 6700 6800 6300 6400 Transmission 4-speed auto 4-speed auto 6-speed auto 4-speed auto Axle/final-drive ratio:1 3.69 / 2.62 3.64 / 2.51 3.46 / 2.39 3.63 / 2.66 Suspension, front; rear Struts, coil springs, anti-roll bar; struts, coil springs, anti-roll bar Multilink, coil springs, anti-roll bar; multilink, coil springs, anti-roll bar Struts, coil springs, anti-rollbar; multilink, coil springs, anti-roll bar Struts, coil springs, anti-roll bar; struts, coil springs, anti-roll bar Brakes, f;r 11.7-in vented disc; 10.6-in solid disc, ABS 12.6-in vented disc; 12.6-in solid disc, ABS 12.5-in. vented disc; 12.0-in solid disc, ABS 10.8-in vented disc; 11.3-in solid disc, ABS Wheels 17 x 6.5 cast aluminum 17 x 7.0 cast aluminum 18 x 7.0 cast aluminum 16 x 6.5 cast aluminum Tires 225/55R17 95T M+S Goodyear Eagle LS2 215/65R17 98T M+S Goodyear Integrity 225/55R18 97T M+S Pirelli P6 Four Seasons 205/60R16 91H M+S Michelin MXV4 Energy Dimensions Wheelbase, in 110.5 120.0 112.9 107.1 Track, f/r, in 61.7 / 61.5 63.0 / 63.1 64.6 / 65.0 61.0 / 60.0 Length, in 198.1 196.8 200.7 191.9 Width, in 73.0 74.1 74.5 71.7 Height, in 57.4 58.4 61.5 57.1 Seating capacity 5 5 5 5 Turning circle, ft 40.4 38.9 40.0 37.6 Curb weight (MT), lb 3640 3765 3785 3455 Weight dist (MT), f/r, % 62 / 38 54 / 46 60 / 40 62 / 38 Headroom, f/r, in 39.4 / 37.2 38.7 / 38.0 39.4 / 38.7 38.7 / 37.9 Legroom, f/r, in 42.3 / 37.6 41.8 / 40.2 41.3 / 41.3 41.7 / 40.1 Shoulder room, f/r, in 57.2 / 57.0 59.4 / 57.7 57.8 / 57.6 58.4 / 58.1 Cargo capacity, cu ft 16.0 15.6 21.2 15.9 Test Data Acceleration, sec to mph 0-30 mph 2.9 2.7 3.1 3.0 0-40 mph 4.2 4.0 4.7 4.5 0-50 mph 5.8 5.7 6.5 6.3 0-60 mph 8.0 8.0 8.6 8.7 0-70 mph 10.5 10.6 11.6 11.2 0-80 mph 13.2 13.7 14.9 14.2 0-90 mph 15.0 17.6 19.1 19.3 1/4 mile, sec @ mph 15.8 @ 90.7 15.8 @ 87.1 16.4 @ 86.4 16.2 @ 87.0 Braking, 60-0 mph, ft 129 129 128 133 600-ft slalom, mph 59.8 61.0 62.6 59.5 200-ft skidpad, ave g 0.78 0.72* 0.77 0.75 MT figure-8, sec @ ave g 28.9 @ 0.55 28.8 @ 0.56 28.7 @ 0.55 29.0 @ 0.54 Top-gear rpm @ 60 mph* Stability control limited 2100 1800 1750 2100 Consumer Info On sale in U.S. Fall Currently Fall Currently Base price incl dest $28,995 $27,720 $26,795 $31,155 Price as tested $33,000 $29,760 $28,710 $35,784 Stability/traction control Optional/yes Yes/yes No/yes Yes/yes Airbags Dual-front Dual-front Dual-front, front-sides & front-head Dual-front & front-sides Basic warranty 3 yrs/36,000 miles 3 yrs/36,000 miles 3 yrs/36,000 miles 3 yrs/36,000 miles Powertrain warranty 3 yrs/36,000 miles 7 yrs/70,000 miles 3 yrs/36,000 miles 5 yrs/60,000 miles Roadside assist period 3 yrs/36,000 miles 3 yrs/36,000 miles 3 yrs/36,000 miles NA Fuel capacity, gal 17.5 19.0 19.0 18.5 EPA mpg, city/hwy 19 / 28 19 / 27 21 / 27 21 / 29 MT observed mpg, ave 19.5 23.5 21.0 24.0 Range, miles, city/hwy 333 / 490 361 / 513 399 / 513 389 / 537 Recommended fuel Unleaded regular Unleaded mid-grade Unleaded regular Unleaded premium Three Advances In The Art Of The Sedan 1. QUIET TUNING Buick's LaCrosse raises the bar in tackling interior quietness with its "Quiet Tuning" initiative. This includes a Helmholtz resonator, located on the tailpipe near the rear axle, as well as a systematic suppression of noise sources, which includes the addition of anacoustic engine cover and quiet steel in the dashboard.2. SOPHISTICATED SHOCKS All-wheel-drive versions of the Ford Five Hundred feature rear shocks that can sense when a heavy trunk load has sagged the car's stern. In compensation, these shocks pump themselves to higher internal pressures using the road's irregularities to drive the pumping action. 3. HIGHER H-POINTS Ford has raised the height of the occupant's H-point (the position of the driver's hip joint) to provide a more commanding view of the road as well as easier entry and exit. Just the thing for a generation of drivers who've grown accustomed to SUV-level perspectives.

Tijuana Panthers
Wayne Interest - INNOVATIVE LEISURE
FILTER Grade: 82%
By Angela Ratzlaff on June 20, 2014
If anybody knows a thing or two about surf rock, it's three American dudes who hail from Long Beach. Tijuana Panthers' third full-length, Wayne Interest, is—like their first two albums—soaked with salt water and roughed up with grains of sand. However, there are notable changes; the evolution of Tijuana Panthers' sound includes the album's richer tone. Wayne Interest offers more flowing psychedelic melodies ("NOBO," "7th Seal"), as well as hints of '80s post-punk influences ("Money Jar," "Four Horsemen"). TP's lyrical content also digs deeper into issues about money, jobs and new goals, a contrast to earlier songs about summer, haircuts and jeans. This new sound, established yet still invitingly simple, is a refreshing surprise from the trio. Possibly the best the band has ever sounded on wax, Wayne Interest proves that Tijuana Panthers continue to excel at creating catchy tunes for a drive down the PCH, sun shining and windows down.

The governments of Iraq and Lebanon concluded a preliminary agreement providing for the reactivation of the Tripoli oil refinery, which was shut down in 1982 during the Lebanese civil war. The facility had a prewar capacity of some 450,000-500,000 barrels per day.
Under the terms of the deal, Iraq committed to supplying all of Lebanon's crude oil needs, at competitive prices. The Iraqi petroleum will be pumped from the Kirkouk oilfields in northern Iraq to the northern Lebanese port of Tripoli via a restored pipeline, which passes through Syria.
The move marks a peak in the warming relations between the two countries.

According to a Dollars & Consumer Sense 2009 study, discounting prices deeply during a recession can damage brands in the long run.
The report was released by The Futures Co., a consumer-trends research company that was formed in 2008 by the merger of Yankelovich Inc. (Chapel Hill, N.C.) and Henley Centre HeadlightVision (London).
Although products and services must fit into consumers' budgets, consumers have negative reactions when brands discount their products and services in response to the recession.
According to the study, 70 percent of consumers assume when a brand lowers its prices during economic times like these that the brand is normally overpriced. Sixty-two percent say they assume that "the product is old, about to expire or about to be updated, and the company is trying to get rid of it to make room for the new stuff."
In contrast, when consumers were asked what they assume when a brand doesn't lower its prices during economic times like these, 64 percent reported that they assume that "the product is extremely popular," and 64 percent assume that "the product is already a good value."
"Lowering prices during a recession clearly raises suspicions among consumers," says J. Walker Smith, executive vice chairman of The Futures Co. "Drastic price cuts like those seen during the past holiday season create a double-barreled risk for brands. First, such price cuts generally fail to generate enough business to pay for themselves, although clearing inventory is of some value. Second, they create long-term difficulties in terms of consumer expectations."
Those "deflationary expectations" cause consumers to postpone purchases because, when they see that a price is reduced, they anticipate that prices will come down even further.
About half to 60 percent of the study respondents think that when companies lower prices, it means that prices will go down further if they wait long enough. And roughly 50 to 70 percent think that brands that do not lower prices will have to do so eventually.

Fire early Tuesday morning kills two people at house
The Maine Fire Marshal's Office said two people were killed in an early-morning fire in northern Maine.
A spokesman for the state Public Safety Department said the bodies were discovered in a home in the town of Easton early Tuesday morning.
The blaze was reported about 5 a.m.
No names or other details were released.
Easton is in Aroostook County, about five miles east of Presque Isle along the Canadian border.
High carbon monoxide level sends one tenant to hospital
Fire officials say at least one person was taken to a hospital after suffering from the apparent effects of high levels of carbon monoxide.
The Berwick Fire Department said it was called about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday to an apartment complex in town, where a high level of carbon monoxide was found in one apartment.
Officials told WMTW-TV that one tenant was removed from the apartment and taken to a hospital.
Male teenager dies at home; police say it's not suspicious
Police are investigating the death of a male teenager but don't consider the death to be suspicious.
Officers found the teenager unresponsive and not breathing when they were called to a home at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Officials said family members were being notified, and that police were meeting with school officials to ensure that counselors are prepared for students on Wednesday.
Police released no other details.
Gray man on probation faces heroin trafficking charges
A Gray man who was released from prison recently after attacking a man with a baseball bat is back behind bars after his arrest in Rangeley on heroin trafficking charges.
Police charged Tyler McFarland, 31, of Gray, Jami Driscoll, 23, of Auburn and Michael Chandler, 33, of Philadelphia in the trafficking case.
Agents with the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency searched a home and a motel room Monday morning and seized 157 bags of heroin, 20 grams of crack cocaine and $8,200 in cash, as well oxycodone and amphetamine capsules, police said.
Agents had been investigating a crack cocaine and heroin distribution ring in the Rangeley area for several months and say they learned during the weekend that Chandler was bringing a shipment to the area from Philadelphia.
The three are scheduled to appear in Franklin County Superior Court on Wednesday.
McFarland was sentenced in 2009 for attacking a man in Gray with a baseball bat and stealing drugs. He was sentenced to four years in prison and released recently. He is on probation.
Teacher due in court March 19 to face sex assault charges
A teacher at the Westbrook Regional Vocational Center, who is on administrative leave from his job, is free on $5,000 bail and isn't scheduled to appear in court until March 19 to face charges of gross sexual assault and unlawful sexual contact.
Derek Hanscom, 32, of Gorham was charged Monday with incidents involving a junvenile that occurred over the past two weeks. Police have not said whether the alleged victim was a student.
Hanscom has been on administrative leave with pay since Thursday from his job as an instructor in the school's automotive program, said Westbrook Superintendent Marc Gousse. The leave will continue indefinitely pending the outcome of an internal investigation, Gousse said.
Gousse would not elaborate on the case or say whether the charges involve a student. Hanscom has been a teacher at the vocational center since January 2011.
Hanscom's bail was entered as $10,000 in property or $500 cash Monday but a jail official said that may have been a clerical error because it was later revised to $10,000 in property or $5,000 cash. The bail commissioner who set bail for Hanscom could not be reached for comment.
MPBN wins approval to air legislative proceedings on TV
Legislative leaders have voted to allow the Maine Public Broadcasting Network to provide expanded State House coverage that could resemble the national C-SPAN.
The new venture was unanimously approved Tuesday by House and Senate leaders. The free over-the-air MPBN State House TV channel is devoted exclusively to coverage of the Legislature and government affairs. Airing could begin as early as Monday.
The plan is to transmit House and Senate proceedings and budget hearings live. Coverage of news conferences and other State House events is also planned.
Veteran State House reporter Mal Leary will oversee operations of MPBN's new State House channel. The programming comes at no public cost and will be carried by state cable services and over the air.
Bears to get fancy collars; researchers to get new data
Unity College is undertaking a study with the state game department of black bears in Maine.
The central Maine college says the multi-year study will involve both faculty and students and include the trapping, tracking, and in at least one case, attachment of a video camera to a Maine black bear.
Unity Associate Professor George Matula said state biologists have been studying Maine black bears since 1975. He said one purpose of the new study is to collect data in an area that is different than where the state is collecting.
Trapping of bears will begin in May around the Dixmont, Troy and Benton areas. GPS-satellite collars will be placed on up to five adult female bears with one of the collars equipped with a video camera.
Insurance bureau helped recover $3 million in 2012
Maine insurance regulators say they helped consumers in the state to recover more than $3 million owed to them during the past year.
Insurance Superintendent Eric Cioppa says nearly $2.2 million was recovered by the Bureau's Consumer Health Care Division, and almost $950,000 was recovered by the Property and Casualty Division.
Cioppa said most insurers operating in Maine pay claims properly and quickly. But when individuals or business owners contact the state because of a dispute with an insurance company or agent, the state can often provide assistance.
Cioppa said the Insurance Bureau fielded almost 9,000 inquiries and more than 900 complaints in 2012.

I'm about to post up the directions and requirements for this essay. But this was all my pre writing that I did.
Deserted Island Essay:
The format for this essay should be based on the Five-Paragraph Essay format. Use the following suggestions to create an island, details, and tone for your essay. As you read through the suggestions, you will realize that you could write pages for this assignment. However, you must select which items you want to include in your essay and which ones you want to leave out. The details must fit into a Five-Paragraph Essay. You will have to do a little research for this assignment to find an island and its location. The rest you can create.
-You are sent to a deserted island. Choose an island that is real, name the island and the location. There will be no people on this island other than you and a companion. The hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, houses, people etc. are no longer there.
-Where is the island located? What is the landscape, climate, vegetation, animals etc.? What food supplies are available? How will food be gathered and prepared? Is water available for drinking? IS it safe?
-You are banished by me. You will be on the island forever. This punishment will be tempered with kindness. Since you have never seen me ad don't know me personally, you can create characteristics about me. (You probably already have some kind of visual image about me any way.) Why did I send you there? Do not include anything evil about me or why you were sent.
-You may take a person of your choosing. It may be a male or a female who is alive, dead, or fictional. No matter whom you choose, these will be no children. Explain why you are taking this person.
-You may take 3 books with you. Please make them real books. You must give authors and titles. One year's subscription to a magazine counts as one book, and this will be taken with you. Explain why you took these books.
-You are also allowed one suitcase for each person Explain why and what you have taken in each suitcase.
-You may have already died and left a written legacy, or you may be still living and telling the story.
-You may use chronolocial organization and gie a sequential account of events, or you may use spatial order and order your ifomration based on the arrangement of the island, or you may want to use topical arrangement and explain how the island is divided. You decide which type of organization is best for the details that you want to include.
Now, I will post my essay. These were the directions for the essay. What I need is for an adult to compete the Revision Sheet for me, which I will post after my essay.
my essay:
The island of Barbados is approximately 1600 miles away from the United States. Seeing as it's my new home, there is no going back. I have been living on the island of Barbados ever since I was banished there by my teacher for not completing my assignments on time. It is a deserted island with little to offer. Survival on the island has not been easy and each day brings new challenges. However, I have learned how to endure every day. After being banished to live on Barbados, I learned to survive by adjusting myself to the environment, using resources to my advantage, and getting a good supply of food from the island.
An important rule of survival is adjusting to the new environment. This was my first task upon arriving. Barbados is a Caribbean island located in the West Indies. The landscape is noticeably different than how I imagined it to be. The coast of Barbados is completely surrounded by coral reefs. Fortunately, the land is hilly rather than mountainous and falls in terraces and flat, coastal strips, making it easier to navigate. Another auspicious fact about Barbados is its pleasant climate. The island enjoys a tropical climate year-round, although paired with continual rainfall. Temperatures vary from 76° to 80° Fahrenheit. Rainfall can reach up to 40 inches annually. The last detail I observed about my new surroundings was the abundance of flora and fauna. Although there are no large forests, trees such as palm, mahogany, and almond dot the land. Vegetation includes a variety of flowers and shrubs such as wild roses, carnation, lilies, and cacti. These observations helped me become familiar with the new location.
The next survival technique I learned was using resources to my advantage. These include natural resources provided by the island, as well as those I brought with me. A small suitcase I have carried with me contains useful items. I have packed tools such as knives to use for food, clothing, construction, killing animals, building a shelter, etc. Also, since Barbados has warm weather, I have packed light clothing. In addition, plastic containers are to be used for storing fresh drinking water and fish hooks and fishing lines will be ideal for getting food. A rope is necessary for building a shelter and steel plates would be perfect for cooking over a fire. Extra items include blankets, matches, and sanitary items. Besides these articles, I have also brought along three helpful books. The first is Explore Barbados by Harry S. Pariser. I chose this book because it offers a guide to the island, and would help me adjust to my surroundings. The second book I packed is Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Although this book will not help me find buried treasure, it nevertheless offers an escape by telling about the adventures people have had on islands. Lastly, I would take one year's subscription to the Travel Writer's Magazine by Ron Bernthal. This magazine lists interesting activities in locations such as Barbados and even suggests tips on how to live in an island environment. These resources will aid me in my task of survival.
My final, and most important, duty is to get food from the island. Because Barbados is an importer of meat and dairy products, it houses sheep, hogs, goats, chickens, and several types of fishes, the most common being flying fish, dolphin fish, tuna, turbot, kingfish, and swordfish. The natural wildlife, however, is limited to a few mammals and birds. My daily diet consists primarily of meat and dairy products, including produce from goats, chickens and fish. There are also many crops that can grow in Barbados, including sugarcane, yams, sweet potatoes, corn, and a variety of beans. In fact, almost half the land is classified as arable. These crops would offer a vegetable portion to my diet. Safe drinking water is also readily available. Thus, I gather my food by farming, fishing, and hunting.
Therefore, I have managed to survive on the deserted island of Barbados by getting used to the new location, utilize natural and personal resources for my benefit, and maintaining a continuous supply of food. By employing these survival techniques, I have been able to live a difficult, yet satisfying, lifestyle. The island has much to offer, with its flood of vegetation, enjoyable climate, and natural food sources. Moreover, I learned to make use of my personal belongings in order to endure each day. Thus, only by altering my adaptations have I managed the job of survival. As Charles Darwin once said, "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."

WELLINGTON — A nonprofit organization has raised nearly two-thirds of the matching money it needs to build a new $2.5 million auditorium adjacent to the new junior high school that will open in 2015.
It will be a race to the finish to raise the remaining $426,000 by Jan. 30, the deadline needed to go ahead with the project.
An anonymous donor has pledged $1.25 million of the costs, which is truly heart-warming, said Wellington Schools Superintendent John Nolan.
"This party wants to give back to the community that's been very good to them," Nolan said.
If enough money is raised and the project proceeds, Wellington Mayor Barb O'Keefe said she thinks naming rights should go to the donor, who wants to remain anonymous at this time.
The effort by the Friends of the Wellington Community Auditorium is needed because the Ohio School Facilities Commission will not pay for an auditorium to replace the auditorium in McCormick Middle School, which is scheduled to be torn down.
There is no auditorium at Wellington High School, and high school plays and other events often are held in the auditorium at McCormick.
The new junior high, serving fourth through eighth grades, is scheduled to open in fall 2015.
Last year, voters passed a 2.97-mill bond issue and a 0.5-mill continuing levy for upkeep of the new school.
McCormick, which was ranked the worst school building in Ohio by the facilities commission, will be demolished after the new junior high opens.
The bond issue will raise $11.6 million for the district's 64 percent share of the project. The state will pay 36 percent. A 0.5-mill continuing levy will raise $96,909 a year.
The owner of a $100,000 home pays $90.83 for the bond issue and $15.31 for the maintenance levy for a total of $106.14 a year.
Wellington Schools tried and failed three other times to win voter support for larger construction projects, including a K-12 building that came within about 30 votes of passing.
Wellington Schools spokeswoman Samantha Stump said plans are still being finalized for the $16.8 million junior high, including the location on the Wellington High School campus.
Stump said a preliminary drawing was prepared by the architect to show what the auditorium might look like. The friends group sent the rendering to everyone with a 44090 address, said Stump, who also serves as spokeswoman for the Friends group.

Order's leader has found her true calling
The first time the Leadership Conference of Women Religious asked Sister Mary Hughes to run for its presidency, she said no.
After all, the umbrella group for Catholic nuns is the target of a Vatican probe into, among other things, whether it properly promotes church doctrine. She'd be landing in the hot seat.
But when the group asked her to reconsider, she agreed - after consulting with her religious order, the Dominican Sisters of Amityville, and with Bishop William Murphy of the Diocese of Rockville Centre.
"It was not an easy decision," said the soft-spoken Hughes, who does not wear a nun's habit. "I knew it was a difficult time. I decided to trust in God."
She added that after she was voted president-elect last month, one of the first calls she made was to Murphy. He helps oversee the Dominicans, which are a diocesan order.
Hughes contends that her close working relationship with Murphy is one piece of evidence of how she, her order and the leadership conference adhere to church regulations.
On the subject of women priests, she says, "Do I have people [in her order] who probably think that would be a good idea? Yes. Do we spend any time discussing it as a congregation? No."
Hughes said she knew as a girl that she wanted to become a religious sister. After graduating from St. Dominic High School in Oyster Bay, Hughes attended Molloy College in Rockville Centre. She eventually earned a doctorate from Columbia University and became a professor at Iona College. In 1995 she was elected prioress, or head, of the Dominican order.
When her six-year term ended, she returned to Iona. In 2007, she was re-elected prioress and returned to Amityville.
The Vatican investigation, she said, is like "getting a call from a relative you have not seen in a long time - what do you think, I don't raise my kids right?"

Continued inputs of fertilizer and manure in excess of crop requirements have led to a build-up of soil phosphorus (P) levels and increased P runoff from agricultural soils. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of two tillage practices (no-till and chisel plow) and a range of soil P levels on the concentration and loads of dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), algal-available phosphorus (AAP), and total phosphorus (TP) losses in runoff, and to evaluate the P loss immediately following tillage in the fall, and after six months, in the spring. Rain simulations were conducted on a Typic Argiudoll under a corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotation. Elapsed time after tillage (fall vs. spring) was not related to any form of P in runoff. No-till runoff averaged 0.40 mg L−1 and 0.05 kg ha−1 DRP and chisel-plow plots averaged 0.24 mg L−1 and 0.02 kg ha−1 DRP concentration and loads, respectively. The relationship between DRP and Bray P1 extraction values was approximated by a logistic function (S-shaped curve) for no-till plots and by a linear function for tilled plots. No significant differences were observed between tillage systems for TP and AAP in runoff. Bray P1 soil extraction values and sediment concentration in runoff were significantly related to the concentrations and amounts of AAP and TP in runoff. These results suggest that soil Bray P1 extraction values and runoff sediment concentration are two easily measured variables for adequate prediction of P runoff from agricultural fields.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Best Buy Co. founder Richard Schulze says his takeover offer gives the world's largest electronics retailer its best shot at competing with Amazon.com Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Bondholders aren't convinced.
Best Buy has $1.5 billion of securities that have a so-called poison put, which requires the company to purchase the notes at 101 cents on the dollar in the event of an acquisition combined with a ratings downgrade. A total of $1 billion of that debt is trading as much as 11 cents below that repurchase price, indicating bondholders believe a buyout isn't imminent.
Talks between Schulze, 71, and Richfield, Minnesota-based Best Buy broke down on Aug. 19 and resumed two days later after the company posted quarterly earnings that trailed analysts' estimates. The retailer has been closing big-box stores and paring jobs to generate savings for promotions and training store employees as it struggles to convince investors that its strategy is still relevant.
"We don't think the credit market is putting much stock in the transaction," Joscelyn MacKay, a credit analyst at Morningstar Inc. in Chicago, said in a telephone interview. "There are just a lot of outside issues that we think are hurdles to get this deal done."
Online retailers like Amazon are willing to accept lower margins than its brick and mortar counterparts, putting pressure on companies like Best Buy to defend market share and reduce costs through closing stores, MacKay said.
Bruce Hight, a Best Buy spokesman, and David Reno, a spokesman for Schulze, both declined to comment.
Best Buy's $650 million of 5.5 percent senior unsecured bonds due in March 2021 traded at 90 cents on the dollar to yield 7.08 percent yesterday, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Its $350 million of 3.75 percent notes due March 2016 fell to 92.8 cents, yielding 6.06 percent.
"Any Schulze-led buyout would require incurring a large amount of debt that would require further ratings downgrades," Alexander Diaz-Matos, an analyst at the credit research firm Covenant Review LLC, said in a telephone interview. "Even if the bonds are rated below investment-grade by all three ratings agencies prior to a buyout, it's extremely likely given the leverage required, a further downgrade would take place."
Without the buyout, "you're left without a 101 percent change of control right and a deteriorating business," he said.
Best Buy's $500 million of 6.75 percent bonds due in July 2013 compensate investors for downgrades, with the interest rate increasing 25 basis points for every level below junk the rating falls until it reaches B, according to a Dec. 15, 2008, prospectus. Those bonds are trading at 103.1 cents, from as high as 107.3 cents on Oct. 11, Trace data show. Investors in that debt are less concerned with buyout speculation as the maturity date ticks closer, according to Diaz-Matos.
Once a $29 billion company, Best Buy has wiped out almost 80 percent of its market value as it lost sales to Internet-based retailers such as Amazon.com and discount stores like Wal-Mart. It posted a net loss of $1.23 billion on revenue of $50.7 billion for the year that ended in March, its first annual loss since 1991, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Best Buy and Schulze reached an agreement Aug. 27 allowing him to conduct due diligence and bring a fully financed, definitive proposal to the company within 60 days. If that offer is rejected, he must wait until January to pursue an acquisition through other means, the company said in a statement.
"The board probably was frightened by the falling stock price and felt that to cover itself it had to agree to allow Mr. Schulze to make an offer," Carol Levenson, an analyst at debt-research firm Gimme Credit LLC in Chicago, said in an e-mail. "Perhaps they are calling his bluff about his ability to raise the cash."
The agreement gave Schulze access to financial data that may help him line up private-equity firms he needs to fund a takeover of the company he founded more than four decades ago and left in June.
Best Buy closed at $17.86 yesterday in New York. The shares have declined 24 percent this year and trade below Schulze's Aug. 6 offer of as much as $26 a share, or about $9 billion. That "tells you folks don't think it's likely," Noel Hebert, chief investment officer at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based Concannon Wealth Management LLC, said in an e-mail.
Traders already are treating some Best Buy debt like junk. At 7.08 percent, the yield on the 5.5 percent notes due March 2021 were higher than the average yield on BB rated bonds at 5.64 percent on Aug. 27, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data.
Standard & Poor's lowered Best Buy's credit rating to BB+ from BBB- on Aug. 6, as a result of Schulze's pitch. Moody's Investors Services gives the company a Baa2 grade, two steps above high-yield.
"The transaction, if completed, would materially weaken Best Buy's credit protection metrics because we believe it will add a significant amount of debt," S&P analysts Jayne Ross and Charles Pinson-Rose wrote in the note.
Even without the buyout, "management still hasn't been able to keep the leverage in line," MacKay said. "This is a company that is going south. Yes, this company is investment-grade right now, but in 2016, this paper might be more like a single B."
The average yield on single B bonds was 7.21 percent Aug. 27, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data.
Best Buy named Hubert Joly as its new chief executive officer on Aug. 20 to oversee a turnaround plan that entails shifting to smaller locations in a bid to fend off rivals.
The next day, the company reported second-quarter profit that trailed analysts' estimates and will no longer provide an earnings forecast as sales of computers and televisions dropped. Excluding restructuring charges and other items, profit was 20 cents a share, the company said, missing analysts' average estimate of 31 cents. Revenue of $10.5 billion last quarter is down from $11.3 billion in the same period last year.
The company's leverage, or adjusted total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, was 1.9 times May 5, according to the S&P rating report. That will increase to 3.8 times after a $9 billion transaction, the rating company wrote.
Credit swaps protecting against the company's default for five years have climbed to 14.3 percent upfront yesterday, according to data provider CMA, which is owned by McGraw-Hill Cos. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market. That's in addition to 5 percent a year, meaning it would cost $1.43 million initially and $500,000 annually to protect $10 million of Best Buy's debt.
The credit-swap prices have climbed to levels implying the debt is rated B3, according to Moody's Corp.'s capital markets research group, seven steps below its actual rating. Credit swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt.
"It's a very, very tough deal, especially given where the CDS are trading," Melissa Weiler, a money manager who helps oversee $10 billion at Crescent Capital Group LP, said in a telephone interview. "Consumers still like to go to a store to look at and touch electronics. But the size of Best Buy stores needs to shrink and it needs to significantly improve its business online. It is a business that can survive, it is just going to have to dramatically change how it operates."

OSHKOSH - A traveling monument hopes to be making a difference in the lives of rape and abuse survivors.
Monday the Monument Quilt stopped at the UW-Oshkosh campus for the public to see.
The monument is 100 by 100 feet in size, and is made of 225 red squares. Each square has a different story.
The quilt is the work of a movement called FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture, whose goal is to promote a culture of sexual consent.
Visitors Monday were able to read the stories and add squares of their own.
Event creators say the point is get people talking about sexual violence to help put a stop to it, and to help survivors heal.
"And by stitching our stories together we are creating and demanding public space to heal. So we're transforming the culture in the United States from a culture that shames survivors to a culture that supports survivors," explained Rebecca Nagle, co-director of FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture
The quilt is traveling across the country. This is one of thirteen stops.
After a few years FORCE will bring the quilt to be displayed on the National Mall in Washington D.C.

On a summer's night in 1955, CIA officer Michael Suslov is summoned to a secret vault in the heart of Buenos Aires. His mission: transport the corpse of Eva Perón to a safe hiding place in the wake of her husband's fall from power. But before Michael can comply, everything goes tragically, horribly wrong....
Fifteen years later, Suslov is a ghost of a man living off the radar - and the only soul alive that knows where Evita is buried. When a shadow from his past appears and asks him for help in bringing the body home, as part of a peace deal to end the civil war tearing Argentina apart, Michael agrees, hoping this last mission will quiet the demons from his former life. But Michael Suslov isn't the only one on a recovery mission. Others are desperate to unearth Eva Perón first - and lay claim to the shattering secret she took to the grave.... Based on a little-known yet fascinating true story, Blood Makes Noise is both a riveting thriller and an examination of the power of the dead over the lives of the living.
©2013 Gregory Widen (P)2013 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Impressive…Widen's atmospheric thriller, full of broken men in a broken country, succeeds in capturing the hold that Evita had over so many, even in death." (Publishers Weekly)
"Over-the-top absurd"
This is a really neat idea for a book, but it went way beyond the believable and wound up on the corny side. In one word: disappointment.
"blood review"
I good story and narration. interest in going inter national settings and political and historical
"Blood Makes Noise - story of men affected by Evita"
Yes, if they are interested in historical novels of Latin America
Not really, but I already knew how the events really played out historically.
He held a tone of resignation in his voice that made me think of the people I knew who lived and still live in Argentina. Added to the credibility.
How Evita Peron's gigantic ego and narcissism led to her adoration by masses of otherwise sane people.
Argentina is the land where I was born. It still escapes my understanding.
I read (listen to) 8 to 10 books a month in 1, 2 or 3 hour sessions so I've followed many story lines. I found this book to be difficult to follow. Perhaps it's one of the few that should be listened to in one sitting or with few and short breaks. After 4 hours of listening I am unable to effectively explain more than the basics of what is actually happening in this story. I don't think the character development was done well nor am I able to comfortably flow between scenes and time periods. David de Vries does a good job with the narration. His tempo, diction and emotion are what kept me going after 2 hours. I would not recommend this book to a friend.
"No author's note in the audio"
I suggest you read the paper book b/c it includes the author's note. I did like the story! VERY interesting in fact!

RALEIGH, N.C., June 23 (UPI) -- Two state mental hospital employees in North Carolina have been suspended while police investigate allegations a patient was photographed while partially naked.
A spokeswoman for the state Department of Health and Human Services said the medical technicians are on paid leave from the Central Regional Hospital in Butner, The (Raleigh) News & Observer reported. The State Bureau of Investigation and state police are involved in the case.
Michael Hennike, the hospital director, sent an e-mail to staff last week to remind them regulations forbid staff to use cell phones in patient areas.
Last year, after Disability Rights North Carolina sued over conditions at Butner and won a restraining order from a judge.
"We find it extremely disturbing that after all that has happened we
would still be investigating staff behavior that is so clearly inappropriate," said Vicki Smith, the group's executive director. "These folks are vulnerable. To be put in a position of being exploited by the very people who are supposed to be treating them is unconscionable."

Graffiti may have solar eclipse link
Cairns police are investigating reports of a large area of graffiti they believe may be connected to the recent total solar eclipse.
Senior Constable Heidi Marek says police were yesterday provided with images of the graffiti, on a rock face at Earl Hill in Trinity Beach, featuring large colourful circles.
She says while the perpetrator may view it as art, it could see them spend up to seven years in jail.
"This is definitely a wilful damage type of offence," she said.
"There's also a section where it comes under a graffiti offence so whereby the property in question is in a public place which this is and is visible from a public place and the damage or destruction is caused by spraying or writing and a list of other things.
"Obviously this appears to be spray paint."

CHICAGO, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. President-elect Barack Obama apologized Friday to former first lady Nancy Reagan for an off-the-cuff comment, a spokeswoman said.
During his first post-election news conference, Obama made a point of saying he was consulting former presidents about the nation's problems.
"In terms of speaking to former presidents, I've spoken to all of them that are living," Obama said in answer to a question, The Washington Post reported. "Obviously, President Clinton -- I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any seances."
After making the slip, Obama quickly tried to make good.
The Post said transition spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter announced: "President-elect Barack Obama called Nancy Reagan today to apologize for the careless and off-handed remark he made during today's press conference. The president-elect expressed his admiration and affection for Mrs. Reagan that so many Americans share and they had a warm conversation."

About Us
The Quinn Driscoll Foundation is a Vancouver Washington based 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to the education, testing/screening of young people for issues surrounding Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) and distribution of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) within the community. It is estimated that ~1500-3000 deaths occur in young people (<18 years) annually in the United States due to SCA. Many of those deaths could be prevented through basic testing, education and parental awareness.
The Quinn Driscoll Foundation name sake, Quinn Driscoll, died from Sudden Cardiac Arrest in June of 2009. Quinn died while running track during gym class, 18 days before his 14th birthday. Quinn's death was caused by Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), a disease which the muscle of the heart is abnormal in the absence of an apparent cause. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of death in young athletes annually in the United States.
Our mission is three-fold:
First, the Quinn Driscoll Foundation provides education to parents, teachers, athletic directors, coaches and the medical community of the risks, symptoms and pro-active detection of heart defects/diseases that cause Sudden Cardiac Arrest. The Quinn Driscoll Foundation provides education through its website, literature, public speaking events and informational meetings. The Quinn Driscoll Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness in the communities it serves; providing families and those who work for and mentor children about Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Second, the Quinn Driscoll Foundation sponsors, coordinates and manages cardiac screening events for the identification of potential risks of SCA in young people. The Quinn Driscoll Foundation provides free of charge or subsidized cardiac testing to schools, community centers and the like. The Quinn Driscoll Foundation manages, promotes and gathers qualified medical personnel to conduct screening at these events. Cardiac screening events are scheduled on an annual or bi-annual basis. Screening events are designed accommodate large numbers of young people in a single event.
Third, the Quinn Driscoll Foundation provides community organizations, sports organizations, schools and other facilities with automated external defibrillators (AEDs). The Quinn Driscoll Foundation has established a grant process for the donation of AED(s) to those organizations who meet certain qualifications or criteria. Grants will be made available to the communities the foundation serves in Southwest Washington and the greater Portland Oregon metropolitan area.
The Quinn Driscoll Foundation will conduct on-going fund raising activities that will take place throughout the year. The Quinn Driscoll Foundation will raise funds in the communities it serves through various events, corporate sponsorships and donations.

Does the Existence of a Public Good Enhance Cooperation among Users of Common-Pool Resources?
Without resorting to the folk theorem or to altruistic preferences, we demonstrate that the problem of overharvesting among individually rational harvesters in a local commons vanishes if the harvesters share, and voluntarily contribute to, some public good. Formulating the model as a two-stage sequential game, the harvesting of a renewable natural resource takes place at the first stage. The observed harvesting surplus is then used for buying private goods and contributing to public goods at the second stage. In this setting, the model shows that the harvesters share an individual objective of maximizing total harvesting surplus.
