CPAC Demonstrates The Limits Of The Conservative Brand
The idiot who has contempt for everyone smarter than you act is a bit, well, limiting.
CPAC happened last weekend, and apparently there's been some grousing that it gets so much more media attention than similar progressive events, such as Netroots Nation. Or, at least that's a question that Josh Marshall got from a reader, and so he decided to answer it and his answer is quite interesting. Basically, CPAC has a lot of structural advantages, being in D.C., so they're already going to get more reporters than events where you have to fly your reporters. But there's also more than that, which is that CPAC is basically designed to generate high-traffic news stories in a way that other conferences are not:
In recent years, especially since Obama became President, CPAC's wild press popularity and attention has been driven by what we might call a tacit conspiracy of derp between the event organizers and the people who cover it. You be outrageous; we'll be outraged. And everyone will be happy. (After all, crap like this doesn't happen by accident.) This has become even more the case as the contemporary Conservative Movement has become less a matter of ideology than a sort of performance art.
Liberals should definitely be proud that their leaders don't routinely generate the "look what nutty things that bag of stupid is saying today!" type of coverage. Being the political side that is primarily seen as mature, intelligent, and non-hateful has its advantages, especially in the realm of avoiding self-loathing. Sure, there are a lot of conservative outlets that try to drum up similar outrage on the right about things liberals are saying, such as Twitchy, but it almost never works to get mainstream coverage. That's because most of what they find "outrageous" statements by liberals fall into a handful of basic categories: 1) Impatience with conservative bad faith 2) Being funny 3) A ready acceptance that sexism and racism exist and 4) A perceived excess of human kindness. None of which really sounds "outrageous" to anyone who thinks humor, good faith, kindness or lack of self-delusion are loathsome qualities to have.
The reason conservatives put on a performance of assholery/deliberate stupidity is that it has worked for a long time. Even the mockery from people who can't believe what ripe assholes they are has been effective in rallying the troops—the idea that they are "pissing off the liberals" is exciting and perhaps even a little sexually arousing to that subset of conservative men whose mental image of a "liberal" is the kind of sexy young lady that pointedly ignores his leering in public—and so they keep at it. (Indeed, the recent addition of routine shaming of women for using their own insurance plans to cover contraception feeds right into what said conservative men want to hear—fuck those sluts who won't sleep with you!) But I can't help but think that the fact that the conservative brand is that of a bunch of intellectually dishonest assholes is going to result in diminishing returns. The sense that being on the right gives you "permission" to be a bully and a liar is definitely a power rush, but over time, people are starting to crave more from politics. Economic hardship, in particular, makes it harder all the time to indulge that desire to be an asshole over economic self-interest.
Indeed, Obama won in a landslide twice over by asking people to vote their hopes instead of their resentments, and the conservative response has really shown how limited the asshole brand really is. They don't have any weapon against hope except more contempt and resentment. "How's that hopey changey thing working out for you?" might give one that initial surge of pleasure that comes with being as ass, but the cost is that it's basically an admission of nihilism, an open promotion of the idea that it's better to burn the country to the ground than share it with people not in your specific tribe. The problem with making "asshole" your brand is that it really limits your toolkit, and you don't adjust well to the changing tides.
Which isn't to say that Republicans are done for this election or next. But the very us vs. them mentality that is the engine that drives the conservative movement is also becoming its biggest obstacle for long-term relevance. It'll be interesting to see if things like CPAC will ever figure out how to evolve, or if they will just become more and more of a clown show.

Effective January 2008 foreign visitor payments will be reported through Glacier. Departments making payments on behalf of foreign individuals will need to contact FSO for login information.
For questions on Glacier please contact FSO Accounts Payable at 621-9097.
See 9.16 Payments to Non-Resident Aliens in the Department Manual for the policy on payment to non-resident aliens. In order to comply with the University of Arizona policy and with the IRS and INS regulations, Accounts Payable will need the following documents, although depending on the visa type may also need others. The receipt of the documents does not mean that there will be no withholding and the non-resident alien is responsible for supplying the information. For more detailed information on what documents are needed for which visa type go to the specifics needed for each visa type and what or if we can pay them.
The closest Social Security Office is at: 3500 N Campbell (between Prince and Fort Lowell).
The non-resident alien will need to apply in person, not by mail as we will need the receipt in order to pay them.
For information on how to apply and the SS-5 form, go to the Social Security Administration page at http://www.ssa.gov/online/ss-5.html.
If the foreign visitor is not eligible for a SSN they will need to get an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number).
On receipt of the previous information we will fill out an 8233 and if it shows that the non-resident alien is exempt from taxes, the non-resident alien will need to sign the 8233 before they receive payment.


text: A posting on another thread in the forum got me to calculate the cost per liter of 2% stop using Kodak Glacial Acetic Acid: 15 cents. So out of curiosity I computed the cost of developing and printing a single frame of 35mm Ektar. The results are 83 cents using 8x10 CA and 99 Cents using Kodak Supra. The total includes the cost of the film - 12 cents. The developers, fix, blix, stabilizer, and stop were calculated as "one shot" and the C-41 bleach was calculated reusing it once. Although bracketing and test prints are not figured in, the cost of making an 8x10 print from negative to paper isn't that bad Note: All chemistry was Kodak in the volumns typically purchased by home users. The higher costs of Kodak's 2.7 Liter C-41 Bleach ($38.95) is included.

How To Decorate With A Frugal Budget.
What it is
Obviously, having a baby costs money, but it isn't necessary to spend a small fortune getting ready for your new arrival. While some purchases are essential for safety reasons (i.e. crib and car seat), other items are musts for some parents, but not for others (i.e. baby monitor, vaporizer, change table, rocking chair). And then there are some purchases that are out and out frills (i.e. adorable wallpaper with matching curtains, bedspread, and bumper pads).
Perhaps the most sensible advice about equipping your baby's room comes from Sharon McKay, author of The New Parent Survival Handbook. She writes: "Instead of sinking every last cent into baby's layette, think about what would make you a better parent. For example, instead of buying a change table... buy a telephone answering machine. Buy a dishwasher instead of a rocking chair." You need to free yourself from some preconceived idea about what a baby's room should look like and instead strive for a baby's room that works for you.
If you'd like to create a beautiful nursery for your baby without
depleting your bank account, keep the following tips in mind:
Decorating the room
Use paint instead of spending a lot of money on wallpaper. Invite friends and relatives to come over and dip their hands into a bucket of paint and then place their handprints on the wall. They can then sign their names underneath. This way, your baby gets to enjoy a brightly coloured room covered in the type of highly contrasting pattern that most appeals to young infants. What an interesting way to introduce your baby to the numerous significant people in his or her life!
Other ideas for decorating inexpensively include drawing hundreds of happy faces with coloured markers, purchasing brightly coloured wallpaper borders, stencilling your own borders, or hanging either baby quilts or brightly coloured children's placemats on the wall as decorations. If you are good at handicrafts, you can save yourself a pretty penny by making padded wallhangings and other decorations.
If you do decide to spend a little more money and wallpaper your
baby's room, try to find something that isn't too babyish. Pastel ducks
may look cute now, but just try to convince your five year old boy that
ducks are where it's at when he has his heart set on race cars or
teenage mutant ninja turtles! Also, make sure that any wallpaper that
you choose is scrubbable. The wallpaper is likely to be hit with any
number of substances from spitups to crayons to things we don't even
want to mention.
Floors and windows
The same goes for flooring. Stain resistant carpet or hardwood floors are worth every penny when you consider the types of abuse the floor is likely to encounter during your baby's first few years. If you've already got wall-to-wall carpet down in the nursery and you're concerned that it might not weather your child's babyhood particularly well, an area rug might be a good investment.
Similarly, when you're selecting window coverings for the nursery, aim for washable fabrics or blinds that can be wiped down easily with a damp cloth.
Because some babies need to be taught the difference between night
and day, you may find that a room darkening blind of some type may help
save your sanity in months to come. An added bonus is that these blinds
tend to be relatively inexpensive (unless, of course, you opt for a
custom drapery service or select a pricey fabric for the blinds).
See the world as your baby sees it
When you are decorating, remember that as the months go on, your baby is going to spend a lot of time lying on his or her back. Doesn't it only make sense then to pay attention to the ceiling as well? Inexpensive ways to jazz up the ceiling include suspending fabric kites, or allowing fabric to billow through a series of hanging rings. Some toy stores also sell special nets which allow you to hang stuffed animals from the ceiling (and if your baby is like most children, he or she will have a fairly formidable collection of stuffed animals by the time his or her first birthday rolls around!)
A nursery can be decorated beautifully without costing the earth if
you are willing to be innovative and let your imagination run wild. Your nursery needn't look like something out of a decorating magazine;
what's important is that it's practical and cheery! After all, you're
likely to spend a lot of time in your baby's room during those first few

Edmonds chamber donates $800+ to local charityWhen the roar of the engines faded, the winner was... Edmonds Foodbank
The 12th Annual Edmonds Classic Car show, sponsored by Mercedes Benz of Lynnwood and presented by the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, took place on Sunday, Sept. 9.
With more than 300 classic cars from around the state on display and thousands of car enthusiasts in attendance, downtown Edmonds was hopping!
The People's Choice award, newly added to recognize the 12th anniversary of the event, garnered $368 for the Edmonds Food Bank the day of the car show.
At $2 per vote, those passionate about cars gladly voted with their wallets for their favorites. When added to the $451 raised in a car show-related event last month, the total raised by the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce was $819.
Many turned out in downtown Edmonds specifically for the event called Cacklefest. The roar of the engines taking part in Cacklefest, sponsored by Village Transmission & Auto Clinic, was loud to be sure, and a treat for those in the know.
There were big names in the racing business on hand signing autographs and revving the motors of their impressive dragsters.
One family visiting the Seattle area from New York decided to spend the day in Edmonds in order to witness Cacklefest.
A similar firing of the engines on hydroplane, Oh Boy Alberto, drew a crowd thanks to sponsor Edmonds Autobody.
Many downtown restaurants and merchants appreciated the shot in the arm the event provided in the form of increased Sunday sales.
The City of Edmonds' Main Street Renovation project began the day following the event. While the block of Main Street between 5th Street and 6th Street will be closed to traffic for a couple months, businesses in the area are open.
For a complete list of 2012 Car Show award winners and a list of all classic cars entered in the show, visit the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce Website at www.edmondswa.com.


text: Palisades Federal Credit Union, Pearl River, N.Y., has successfully raised funds during the COBA Annual Golf Outing and Fundraising Event held at the Philip J. Rotella Municipal Golf Course in Thiells, New York. Funds raised by this annual event provide scholarship support to deserving Rockland County youth pursuing higher education. COBA is a partner with Palisades FCU. Monroe County Community Credit Union, Monroe, Mich., has teamed up with Monroe Automotive Credit Union, and Education Plus Credit Union to help refill the blood bank supplies of the American Red Cross. Some 25 donors rolled up their sleeves resulting in a total donation of 21 pints of much needed blood. Air Academy Federal Credit Union, Colorado Springs, Colo., has raised over $15,500 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and was named the largest corporate walk team with 116 registered walkers. AAFCU raised $4,786 from paper shoe sales and collected over $10,600 from walker pledges. All proceeds were donated to the JDRF to fund important research that will hopefully lead to a cure. University Federal Credit Union, Birmingham, Ala., has raised over $10,300 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through its annual Light the Night Walk. The donation was comprised of two parts- a UFCU $5,000 donation and the remainder from member donations and employee fundraising, including cookie sales, lunch sales, and candy sales. Kent County Credit Union, Grand Rapids, Mich., has supplied photo I.D. kits and fingerprint kits to a local neighborhood association for the annual Celebration in the Park. KCCU staffers volunteered their time to man the safety booth at the event and taking children's photos and fingerprints for the Kid Care ID kits that were then given to the parents. Black Hills Federal Credit Union, Rapid City, S.D., has helped donate over 31,000 schools supplies to local schools as part of the "Load the Bus" campaign. Supplies were distributed to 30 schools and some 2,900 students. Distributing the supplies among more than one hundred boxes slated for the schools took three days, five staff members and several tally sheets to complete.

ELON � A Gibsonville man was fatally struck by a train Tuesday afternoon while walking on the railroad tracks.
According to the Elon Police Department, Malcolm Carnelius Sims, 22, was walking east on the tracks with his back to the train when it killed him instantly.
The incident occurred around 1:50 p.m., just west of the University Drive overpass, near Rego Drive behind Elon University�s Physical Plant buildings. The train came to a stop near Trollinger Avenue and Church Street, before West End apartments.
Elon Police Chief Cliff Parker said it appears Sims did not realize the train was coming, and there are no indications that he intentionally stayed in the path of the train.
Parker confirmed that headphones were recovered from the scene, but added that police could not determine whether Sims was using them at the time of the collision.
�He was apparently unaware,� Parker said of the train approaching Sims.
Sims was killed instantly, according to police.
Though investigators still had not spoken with the train�s conductor early Tuesday evening, Parker said it was standard procedure for the train to sound its horn in such a situation.
According to Kimberly Woods, an Amtrak spokeswoman, Piedmont train 74 was traveling from Charlotte to Raleigh with 44 passengers and was scheduled to stop in Burlington. The train was delayed until another engineer was brought in to operate it for the remainder of the route as the conductor at the time of the collision requested relief.
Mary Feddeman, a passenger on the train who was planning to get off in Burlington, said the train didn�t resume travel until 5 p.m., three hours after it struck Sims.
Feddeman recalled the train braking suddenly, and someone eventually announced to passengers that they �had experienced a trespasser strike,� and later that the person was dead.
TWO PEOPLE WERE fatally struck by trains in Burlington last year and one other in Mebane, according to data from the Federal Railroad Administration and Times-News archives.
In 2012, four people in Alamance County died in the path of trains.
The Times-News reported in March 2013 that the Norfolk Southern Railroad Police Department was specifically targeting Burlington and Elon as part of its Trespasser Abatement Program, a campaign to educate the public about the dangers of trespassing on railroad tracks.
The Elon Police Department confirmed then that they would be assisting railroad police in educating the public and enforcing the law against trespassing on Norfolk Southern�s property.
In July, Burlington Police Chief Jeffrey Smythe attended a rail safety summit in Chapel Hill, hosted by the N.C. Department of Transportation in light of a drastic increase in railroad deaths during the first part of 2013.
After the summit, Smythe said the Burlington Police Department planned to use programs like D.A.R.E. also to educate young people about staying off railroad tracks.
Tuesday�s incident marks the first train fatality in Alamance County this year.
Gibsonville and Elon police have responded. A male walking down the tracks was hit by this Amtrak around 2 p.m. pic.twitter.com/Qd5IBLEDnk
The fatality occurred closer to Cook Road, but the train came to a stop further down near Ball Park neighborhood. pic.twitter.com/VfnybcYc8A

These lead BB's are perfect for the pistol. The pistol itself is very accurate and the Co2 release for each shot ensures consistent accuracy. It would be possible to shoot between 70-80 with a capsule, but I have found that only shooting 60 rounds and then disposing of the capsule is best. Making sure to spray Gun oil on the pellets in the tin so they are lubbricated as well as making sure the capsule is also lubbricated prior to insertion. I also use a Makarov, same principle… Read Full Review

I bought these BB after an exhaustive search for any other make of lead BB for use in my Baikal MP651-KC as this has a rifled barrel and shouldn't be used with steel equivelants. The magazine is the circular type used in many Airguns. I found that many of these BB are not perfectly spherical possibly due to the fact that being lead and not steel,they are more prone to damage possibly in transit as they rub against each other in the tin. It's pretty much unavoidable. However it causes them to… Read Full Review

I bought a can of these to use in my 600fps breakbarrel rifle. Most of them are not full-bore, so you waste a lot of power and the accuracy is flatout terrible. I can hit pennies at 25 meters with normal pellets, with these however i get about 15 inch groups. Seriously, you wouldn't hit an elephant with it from point blank. Great for 5-10 yards in a co2 pistol or something like that, but if you're looking for any kind of accuracy in a rifle, don't buy these… Read Full Review

What more can I say? They enter the barrel easily. Some pellets deform slightly if the the shoulder or shirt is too wide when loading. Pellets don't always get placed straight in & lazy as I can get I'll just shove it in and seat it w/ my Beeman pellet seater.
On small pests there is over penetration, definitely, especially with sportster or magnum models. Which may have to be followed up by a humane finishing shot.
I've spent many times shooting at a variety of target media… Read Full Review

I bought these for my Gamo P-23 air pistol. They performed much better than regular steel bb's and they shot just as good as the regular pellets out of that gun with the added ability of multiple shot without reloading. I didn't try them in an air rifle because I use regular pellets in all my rifles. They hit way harder than steel bb's because of the increased weight. They are also way more accurate because they are full bore (.177) vs. .175 for steel bb's… Read Full Review

I also have a p.23 i only recently brought it but was sold the steel bbs when i got it, since then have been back and told i should be using lead (otherwise the rifeling will wear down) which i agree is alot better perfomance wise, only thing is since i have been using them the gun seems to be sticking alot more, is this a regular problem - any help would be appreciated ?

So after searching all over for these pellets desperate to get them I finally found them, only to find out they aren't as good as I thought they would be.
They are ok in pistols but when I tested them in my rifles they are useless… Read Full Review

I bought these to shoot in my Gamo P-23. They worked great and since I shoot at a steal trap they are alot safer than BB's. I got a lot more mess on my hands with these round balls. It may have been lubricant or lead dust ?? I don't know.
But the thing that blew me away was when I tryed them in my Gamo Viper rifle. They are equal to or better in accuracy than anything I have shot. At 10 meters I shot my best group ever (so far anyway). It was a hair less than .25 inches c.t.c.

I use the Gamo Round Lead Balls in my Baikal Makarov, as although it is a BB gun, it has a rifled barrel.
These lead balls grip the rifling and cause no damage to the internals of the pistol, plus because of the weight, hit very hard indeed.
It would be interesting to see how they would perform in an air rifle but really dont want to risk them in my AA TX200.
If anyone else can try these in a cheap rifle, or even has the guts to try them in a decent one please let me know the results as in… Read Full Review

There is an article at the following link that states how pellets perform compared to round balls http://pyramidair.com/site/articles/pellets-vs-round-balls/
Written on: 29/01/2007
You say that you don't dare to shoot them with your rifle, but Gamo also tested them with a Gamo Hunter 890. If this will cause any damage to your barrel or whatever, Gamo will tell that I think.
<br/>I have a Gamo CF-X myself, and the Gamo Round's works well on this. I shot groups of 1 cm with it on 30 meters.
Written on: 26/07/2006
i used them in an airforce talon and a gamo shadow and shot fifty in each and it didn't lead up to bad but definitely clean after 200 especially in rifled barrels.

Updated: NDSU president resigning
FARGO - North Dakota State University President Joseph Chapman has resigned from the university effective Jan. 2.
Citing "recent controversies," in a letter to North Dakota University System Chancellor William Goetz, Chapman wrote that he could no longer provide the leadership the university deserved.
"Controversies in recent days have created distractions that have made it impossible for me to provide the leadership this institution deserves," Chapman wrote in his resignation letter. "Students have always been paramount, and I fear these distractions have impaired my ability to serve their interests."
Chapman, who has been NDSU's president for 11 years, said serving as NDSU's president was the "greatest privilege of my academic career."
State legislative leaders and higher education officials have questioned the rising cost of a president's home that was built this past year on the NDSU campus. Originally authorized by the state Legislature to spend $900,000 to build a new home for Chapman on the university campus, NDSU foundation officials have revealed recently that the cost of the house has topped $2 million.
Questions also have arisen regarding the cost overruns at other recently completed NDSU building projects.
Also, in recent days, Chapman's compensation and benefits have come under fire. The NDSU foundation announced that it was ending the practice of paying the president deferred compensation, setting a cap on a presidential discretionary expense account that previously had been unlimited and ended paying for flights Chapman would take on the university plane.
Mark Meister, president of the NDSU Senate, said faculty were shocked when they received an e-mail this afternoon alerting them to Chapman's resignation.
Faculty were disappointed to learn that Chapman spent $22,000 of NDSU foundation money on a January trip to Washington, D.C., Meister said. And they also were disappointed to find out that Chapman's wife, Gale, was drawing a $50,000 salary from the NDSU foundation.
However, he added, the faculty recognize that Chapman has changed the culture and climate of NDSU, Meister said.
"I know he's been beaten up a lot, he deserves a little more support and credit," Meister said.
Chapman has agreed to talk to The Forum on Thursday morning. He agreed to speak with the Associated Press today.
NDSU Spokeswoman Najla Amundson said Chapman was not pressured to resign by anyone.
When he called Chancellor Goetz today, the chancellor expressed surprise and disappointment, Amundson said.
"This was his decision; he and gale's decision," Amundson said. "The distractions, he believes, have gotten in the way of him being able to do what's best for the students of NDSU."
North Dakota State Board of Higher Education President Richie Smith said it's a sad day for North Dakota.
"When people sit back and they look at all of the accomplishments that Joe had at NDSU, these recent controversies will pale in comparison in my opinion," Smith said. "Anybody coming in is going to have big shoes to fill. I hope we don't rue the day."

IRVING - Only 11 days remain on Texas Stadium's clock as Irving officials finalize plans to implode the former home of the Dallas Cowboys.
The holes for the dynamite are being drilled, columns are being wrapped in fabric, and any spot inside or outside the stadium gives a clear view through the now-hollow structure.
In a matter of days the stadium will be closed off to outsiders, and police will begin round-the-clock patrols.
But Tuesday, city officials gave North Texas media one last look inside before the structure comes down at dawn April 11.
Contractors worked Tuesday to finalize all preparations for the blast, including weakening the structure's support. Workers covered support columns and tresses with fabric, which will minimize the debris the implosion will send flying. They also continued removing as much steel as possible so there's little left inside after the building comes down.
Column cores: It will take more than 2,700 pounds of explosives to bring the stadium down, officials say. Dynamite will be stuck in the columns throughout the stadium and the tresses that hold up the roof. Workers have been drilling about 2,800 holes in the structural supports to stick the dynamite for the blast. That's left scores of cylindrical pieces of concrete that the city is using as souvenirs in giveaways and contests.
Come rain or shine: Irving officials said the stadium will come down April 11, even if the weather doesn't play nice. They said if there's a major lightning storm that threatens the event, they'll hold off until it passes. But overcast skies or rain won't stand in the way of toppling Texas Stadium. Doug Janeway, Irving's assistant real estate services director, said: "We will implode the stadium on Sunday."
Final farewell: Tuesday was also the last goodbye for some of the people who knew Texas Stadium best, including former Dallas Cowboys Nate Newton, Billy Joe Dupree and Tony Hill. They beamed while reflecting on their time playing beneath the famed hole in the roof. Longtime Cowboys announcer Brad Sham said Texas Stadium belongs to everyone who loves America's Team. "This building was all of ours," he said.
Light it up: Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, which is sponsoring the implosion, will have ESPN sportscaster Chris Berman on hand at the big event to lead some of the festivities. Kraft will also be putting on a fireworks show above the stadium before the big boom.

Mark M.wrote a review of Alpinestars Moab Elbow Guards on August 4, 2012
Bought a pair of these because I know how good alpinestars motorcycle gear is and what a let down! They felt OK sitting on the couch but as soon as I took them for the first ride I realized they're too bent. Meaning to fit properly your arms need to be at about 110 degrees, but when riding you're arms fluctuate between like 170 and 90. So they where constantly falling down and even started giving me a blister (on my upper wrist) after 1 run. Returning them as we speak.

The "galactic impact" winner of NASA's International Space Apps Challenge crowd sources micro-climate data, using volunteers and low-cost sensors, to give a much richer portrait of weather patterns across a city.
The NASA Greener Cities Project, produced by a team of developers from Gothenburg, Sweden, has the greatest "potential to significantly improve life on earth or in the universe," the Space Apps challenge organizers said in a blog post Wednesday.
Other winners of NASA's second space apps challenge held April 20 and 21 include:

- ISS Base Station, a mechanical arm that points to the current location of the International Space Station and iOS software that shows the station on a map.
- Sol, an app that offers the daily weather report from Mars.
All the apps were built with open data provided by NASA.

If you ask 5 Orion owners about AGC settings, you'll get 5 answers. Here's mine, based on 4 years of Orion use: AGC settings required special attention only in the early days of the Orion I. There is a lot of misinformation out there, including outdated documents, that keep getting referred to. Just choose fast/med/slow, set AF Gain to 50% (for Heil headset) and adjust RF Gain so that you can just hear background noise.

Unsealing The Vault: NCAA Site Offers Recent BBall Tourney Clips
Published March 3, 2010
|NCAA Vault Allows Fans To Search For
Highlights By Teams Or Individual Players
The NCAA today is formally debuting the NCAA Vault, which offers access to highlights from every men's basketball tournament game from '00 "from the Round of 16 forward," according to Richard Sandomir of the N.Y. TIMES. Thought Equity Motion (TEM), through a deal with the NCAA, has "assigned a Web address" to each game, which lets fans "watch any of the games, or thin slices of them, and link to social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter or to their blogs." TEM CEO Kevin Schaff said that the goal of the project is to "extend the tournament's mania beyond its natural period." Schaff: "People want to consume the moment and discuss it. When you broadcast a game, consumption is short-lived." Sandomir reports the ad-supported site "breaks games into small bits and divides them into packaged sections like dunks, great shots and great blocks." But it also lets fans "choose clips from each game's play-by-play log." Entering the name of teams "will generate the games they played and highlights culled from them." Similarly, entering a player's name "yields games he played in and his highlights." CineSport CEO Gregg Winik said, "The old idea in the industry was to protect the archive and drive fans to the broadcasts. Now, people are saying, 'Internet video is a real business'" (N.Y. TIMES, 3/3).
GOING INSIDE THE VAULT: While CBS and the NCAA will promote the site with links off its main commercial site, NCAA.com, as well as March Madness on Demand, Schaff indicated the primary driver of traffic will come from links and social media. Schaff: "Where we think it's going to take off is virally. The consumer can come in and create a URL and post a highlight onto the Facebook page and drive traffic that way. We're also going to offer publishing guides for the top bloggers and writers so that when they reference a moment in history, they have the video available to them and it's easy to find. Those moments will be indexed and also can be picked up by the search engines. The idea with this was to create the easiest possible video linking system on the Internet." CBS Sports, which owns the rights to NCAA.com, will take the lead on ad sales for the site. NCAA Dir of Broadcasting Greg Weitekamp said CBS and TEM have an agreement to share the revenue generated from the ads. The relationship between the NCAA and the firm goes back to '05 when TEM first began managing the NCAA's archives. Weitekamp said more games will be added to the NCAA's content over time and the hope is to eventually have all of the NCAA's championship events across all of its sports available on the site (Michael Smith, SportsBusiness Journal).

Since the glory days of political journalism, the 1972-73 Washington Post pursuit of the Watergate scandal that brought down a president, there has been a simple political journalism credo:
Follow the money.
Where the political money flows, the action is happening whether excess spending, illegal robocalls, whatever.
However, sometimes following the money distracts reporters from the real story and that has been happening in the latest brouhaha over the Canadian Senate.
Media focus has been on the money — did Conservative Mike Duffy or Liberal Mac Harb illegally claim housing costs in Ottawa during Senate sittings even though they actually live in the capital?
In Duffy's case, yes, because he already has admitted it. In Harb's case, a Senate committee continues to investigate, although as an MP and community activist he has lived in Ottawa most of his life before buying a "principal residence" in Pembroke, just far enough outside Ottawa to meet the 100-kilometre rule for when capital expenses can be claimed.
Then there are Saskatchewan senator Pamela Wallin's travel expenses and were they justified, trips back to her "home" of Wadena, Sask., or just junkets for Conservative promotion or to go to her homes in Toronto and New York on the taxpayer dime?
These expenses, tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars that are big sums for the average person, really are a diversion from the real issue.
How many current senators with their $132,000-per-year-with-perks-until-age-75 really qualify under constitutional rules about Senate eligibility?
Despite Prince Edward Island senator Mike Duffy's confusion over filling out a form about where he lives, the issue is quite simple.
The Constitution Act of 1982 requires senators to "reside" in the area they represent in the Senate.
Any sensible reading of that requirement (lawyers of course can make common sense seem grey and uncertain) would require a senator to have their primary resident in the province they represent: Saskatchewan for Wallin, P.E.I. for Duffy, Alberta for retired senator Joyce Fairbairn and on it goes.
How much time they spend there is irrelevant. Principal residence means where you pay taxes, where you vote, where your health card is issued, where your driver's license is issued.
Otherwise, you do not "reside" in the district you represent. By the Canadian constitution, that means you are not eligible to be a senator from that province.
The protestations from senators under the gun is that they spend time there, they have a "residence" there (which is far from being a resident) and that's where their heart is.
The constitution doesn't specify where senatorial hearts, kidneys or spleens should reside, just where senators should.
If this "Senate reform" government took the issue seriously, the prime minister would make sure Conservative grandees were eligible before they are appointed.
And if the Senate and media quit obsessing on the money and considered the constitutional legitimacy of senators, moving trucks would be busy in Ottawa and Stephen Harper would have many more vacancies to fill.

I have been told that because of anxiety I have all kind of strange symptoms like, gasping for air when going to sleep or waking up, limbs jerking, bad palpitations, no energy, tiered all the time, chest pain sometimes. For the last 4 weeks my life is upside down and I am more anxios now then ever because the treatment given by my GP doesn't help, at least not yet, propanolol 40 mg per day.
Thank you for your help.

Hey I have some similar things. Mainly the gasping, palpitations and chest pain - as well as the anxiety. I missed 2 weeks of work because I'd have weird heart behavior. The biggest problem was my blood pressure - it would go SUPER high, like 180/110, but after a walk I can get get it down to 115/65.
I'm on both anxiety and BP meds now. Is the Propanolol helping?
I find exercise has been helping (and quitting smoking and alcohol).

I would go back to your doctor and ask for a referal to see a specialist qualified to be giving out medications for anxiety or other mental disorders. A general practioner is not qualified to be making these decisions. You need to see a psychologist, or a psychiatrist. A psychologist can talk to you about your problems to determine if you are in need of medications, to help you with the stress. If they feel you are in need of meds than they will send you to a psychiatrist who is skilled in the field of anxiety, depression, BD, and other mental disorders. GPS or interists should not be giving out these medications. I have BPD and I would never think of going to my regular physician to help me with something they are not trained to diagnose.

Hi there,
Thanks for your reply. I can't teel if propanolol is helping because 4 weeks later I'm not feeling any better.
I don't even know what 'BP' is. I've asked my GP to refer me to a neurologist/psychologist/pshichiatrist but she is waiting for the results from my heart monitor.
Thank you again

BP usually means blood pressure. If it is low it could be causing you to gasp for air upon sitting up from a lying postion when awaking. See what the results are from the heart monitor. Do you feel tired all the time throughout the day even when you feel like you have gotten enough rest? do you ever wake up in the middle of the night feeling the same thing? Please let me know.

I just thought of something, I was reading you post again, and some of your symptoms. I think you might want to see an endocrinologist, they are skilled in the areas of hormonal imbalances, diabetes, hypo and hyperthyroidism. I found out 6 months ago I had hypothyroidism. I knew I probably had it but my internist was going by the old guidelines. I took copies of my cbc blood tests which included the thyroid stimulating hormone blood test to. Their are new guidelines and protocol with that. Come to find out I have a moderate to severe case. I was having so many symptoms, weightgain, headaches, i felt cold all the time. i was always tired, my skin was dry, my hair was falling out, i was forgetful and these our all symptoms of hypothyroid. Their are so many things that might be causing your symptoms that could mimic other disorders thats why it is so important to get many opinions. After taking my thyroid meds for 3 weeks i was still tired all the time so i call my endo, he had just gotten back my blood results he sent me for, which was just about everyone on the page, and told me I was severely deficient in vitamin D. I had to take 50,000 units a week for 4 weeks and I am on 2000 a day now. It takes about 3 months to build that back up again, i was a 12 and normal is between 30 and 100. I still get tired, i have been on the vitamin d supplements for 2 months now, i make sure to get sun everyday too cause that is also how you build up your vitamin d. I am assuming I am still tired because I had a major surgery 2 weeks ago so considering that i am doing okay.

The Behavior of Option Price Around Large Block Transactions in the Underlying Security
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): RAMAN KUMAR, ATULYA SARIN, KULDEEP SHASTRI
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 879-889
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1992.tb03998.x
This paper investigates the behavior of stock and option prices around block trades in stocks. The results indicate that for both up tick and downtick block trades the stock prices adjust within a fifteen minute period after the block trade. Moreover, for uptick blocks there is no evidence of any stock price reaction before the block trade. However, the adjustment of stock price for downtick blocks begins about fifteen minutes before the block trade. We also find that option price behavior differs considerably from stock price behavior. Specifically, our results suggest that options exhibit abnormal price behavior starting thirty minutes before the block and ending one hour after the block. The pattern is more pronounced for downtick blocks and for put options. We interpret this abnormal price behavior of options before the block trade as consistent with intermarket frontrunning.

Tony Lithur, a private legal practitioner who represented Calf Cocoa International Ghana Limited in a suit between the firm and the Ghana government, yesterday, confirmed to the Commission of Enquiry investigating the payment of judgment debts that he secured $4,150,127.50 for his client.
He told the commission presided over by Justice Yaw Apau of the Court of Appeal that the matter ended up in court because the government at the time refused to release about $2.6 million to Calf Cocoa for its operations.
The 'Commission of Enquiry into the payment of Judgment Debts and Akin' under C.I. 79 to investigate the frivolous and dubious payments of huge monies to undeserving individuals and companies was appointed by President John Dramani Mahama after public uproar over the payments of what has now come to be termed as Judgment Debts (JDs).
Payment To CP, Woyome
Notable among them were payments made to CP and the never case of GH51.2 million parted to the self-styled National Democratic Congress (NDC) financier, Alfred Agbesi Woyome, both of which believed were dubious and frivolous.
Narrating the incident that led to the judgment debt, Mr. Lithur said, 'I represented Calf Cocoa International in the suit titled Calf Cocoa International Ghana Limited versus the Attorney General, and the suit was preceded by a letter which I had written on behalf of the client to the AG requesting for the release of certain funds under a subsidiary loan agreement between the government and Calf Cocoa International.'
He said, 'Calf Cocoa International Ghana Limited is a joint venture company between Carridem Development Company Limited and China International Corporation Company for horticultural livestock and fishery. It was a company nominated by the Chinese government to enter into a joint venture agreement with Carridem for the processing of cocoa for export to China.'
He said Carridem, an investment wing of the 31st December Women's Movement (DWM), owned 45 percent and Calf Cocoa International Ghana Limited had 55 percent; and there was a general loan facility between the governments of Ghana and China for certain sums to be disbursed to Ghana.
'Under that general loan facility, several subsidiary loans were entered into in respect of specific areas of the economy. This subsidiary loan was targeted at cocoa processing. That loan was for a sum of about $8.750 million supposed to be part of the complete funding required to set up the factory and start processing,' adding 'The difference between $8.750 million and the $10 million was supposed to be paid by Carridem which in fact, they did.'
Working Capital
Mr. Lithur said the disbursement started before 2000 and by 2003, the factory had virtually been completed and the final tranche of that facility was to be what he called 'working capital.'
'From the working capital, Calf Cocoa was supposed to be paying for advertisement, cocoa beans, do trial tests and get the company ready for operation. That was when the problem started,' he said, adding that 'there was some reluctance on the part of the Ministry of Finance to disburse the amount.'
He said the working capital was $2.6 million and added that the ministry had said it would not pay the amount directly to Calf Cocoa and that Calf Cocoa should enter into a sales agreement with Cocobod for the purchase of cocoa beans and that the money would be paid directly to Cocobod.

Tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of Egypt's revolution. That's almost a year after US reporter Lara Logan made claims as to being sexually assaulted in Tahrir, and months after her first interview with 60 Minutes. Is it coincidental that Logan has now released a statement claiming that she suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?
Tomorrow Egypt will appear on every news station and media outlet, so I have to wonder as to Logan's real motives behind her latest report featured in the Huffington Post. Throughout Logan's horrific tales, all that could be found was excerpts saying that she "suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 soldiers."
In her 60 Minutes interview, Logan recanted that she was told that the crowd began saying things like, "Let's take her pants off." As she detailed the horrendous attack six months later, she said her clothes were completely torn off and that people were taking pictures with their cell phone cameras. She said, "I remember looking up and seeing them taking pictures with their cell phones, the flashes of their cell phone cameras." Egyptians do have internet access, yet to date no nude photos have been released of Logan.
The CBS reporter continued, "I didn't even know they were beating me with flagpoles and sticks and things because I couldn't even feel that." For any of you in the Square that day, surely you are aware of how flimsy the actual flagpoles were. And should those poles have come into contact with a hard surface, like a human body, they would either bend or break.
She also said: "They were tearing my body in every direction at this point, tearing my muscles. And they were trying to tear off chunks of my scalp, they had my head in different directions."
In all of this, no photos were ever released to validate Logan's accusations. If this did occur, I understand that it would be difficult to speak about it right away; however, pictures would have been taken to show the brutality that was suffered such as bald spots/scabs from where hair had been ripped out of the head as well as a bare back to show the marks of the "flagpoles and sticks and things." Yet none of this was ever released.
Logan spoke out at the end of April, and now she seems to have resurfaced marking the one-year anniversary of the Egyptian revolution.
While all of these stories could very well be true, I have reservations based on my own personal experience. I was in Tahrir Square the same day Logan was. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I am not here to say that harassment doesn't exist because quite frankly, it even got worse after the revolution; however, from January 25 to about February 18 was the ONLY time I never received any harassment whatsoever in this country.
It was shoulder to shoulder in Tahrir. Moving wasn't an option, it was how the crowd pushed you. I was separated from my group and while I was surrounded by men, the man behind me put his hands on my shoulders and helped me guide through the crowd. A man in front of me took my hand and helped me get past another crowd. And finally when I was meeting some friends at the nearby hotel, Semiramis, another guy helped me find my way out as I couldn't see the exits with so many people.
Katie Couric also made claims that she was harassed, but when I watched the video and listened to the Arabic, I never heard such a thing. When you don't speak the other language and already have preconceived notions as to the behavior or Arab men, you may assume everyone is speaking about you in such a way – this, I think, was Couric's problem.
I'm not here to contradict Logan's story per se, but I do raise valid questions. I wonder why no one else who has interviewed Logan has asked the same. Do I necessarily believe her? Well, if it isn't true, I hope that she one day understands that making up stories doesn't pay off in the long run – just ask Stephen Glass.
Interestingly enough, I happened to stumble upon someone who says they witnessed the attack on Logan and refutes her claims. "I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe something happened in another part of the square, but from what I saw, she was being taken by men to the soldiers, and her clothes were not torn off. There were no women. I didn't see a single woman in the crowd around her."

The chairman of the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees resigned Monday amid an investigation into the use of political clout to get underqualified students into the school.
Niranjan Shah said in a letter to Gov. Pat Quinn that he decided to step down after members of a state commission investigating the admissions practices said they believed the trustees should resign.
Shah is the second trustee to do so, after former chairman Lawrence Eppley quit last week.
"I am not in public service for self-aggrandizement and therefore have no interest in a protracted process regarding my role," Shah wrote. "My interest is solely in the vitality of the University of Illinois."
The school's flagship campus at Champaign-Urbana has been at the center of a storm since the Chicago Tribune reported in May that the school maintained a list of politically connected students, known as Category I. The newspaper said some underqualified members of the list were admitted under pressure from former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, university trustees and others.
Quinn said Monday he accepted Shah's resignation, which is effective in 90 days, or sooner if a successor is in place. He said the search for a successor would begin immediately.
Shah had been accused of pushing to admit certain applicants and arranging for his future son-in-law to work for the school. Shah has denied trying to admit relatives to the school or being pressured by public officials to support certain applicants.
Chancellor Richard Herman and university President B. Joseph White did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Quinn appointed the Illinois Admissions Review Commission after the Category I list became public. Commission member Bernard Judge of Chicago said he was glad Shah resigned.
"I think he did the university a favor by resigning now," Judge said. "It will end any further need to seek his resignation."
The panel's final report is due this week.

President Barack Obama is expected to lay out his principles for immigration reform in a speech in Las Vegas today that will include a potentially quicker path to citizenship than the bipartisan plan a group of senators unveiled earlier this week.
The president will offer some new details about the White House's immigration reform plan, which expands on a blueprint it released in 2011, a senior administration official told ABC News. But for now Obama will stop short of offering his own piece of legislation because of the progress made by the Senate "Gang of Eight."
The White House has sounded positive notes about the Senate group's plan thus far, but the specifics that Obama announces are expected to have some key differences that might cause concern for some Republican senators who have signed onto the senate deal.

TEXAS HISTORY DAY. Texas History Day is one of several educational programs of the Texas State Historical Association. A part of the National History Day program, Texas History Day is a competition for students in grades 6 through 12, whereby students demonstrate their interest in and knowledge of history. Students, who compete in a junior high (grades 6–8) or a senior high (grades 9–12) division, may enter one of seven categories: a paper; a project (individual or group); a performance (individual or group); or a media presentation (individual or group). Students must win a first or second place at their regional fair before they are eligible to compete at Texas History Day, a 1½-day event held in Austin each spring. Those winning first or second place at the state level advance to a national competition held at the University of Maryland in June. More than 10,000 students participate in the program in Texas at the regional level; approximately 800 of those advance to the state contest; and seventy or so of those win at the state level to compete in the national contest. Texas became involved in the national program in 1981. In eight of the past fourteen national contests Texas won more awards than any other state.

Tarting up the Reeperbahn, without tarts
A four-star hotel is poised to open on Europe's sauciest street — the Reeperbahn in Hamburg — hammering the latest nail into the coffin of the red-light district known the world over for its working girls and seedy drinking dens.
The Dancing Towers development, which includes the hotel and £160 million of office towers, is one more steel-and-concrete symbol of the gentrification of the square mile of sin that has been undergoing a facelift for years at a cost of billions of euros.
Reeperbahn 1, as the complex will be numbered, will house about 800 people who work in property, the law and finance. Occupancy is exceeding 65 per cent in advance of opening this summer.
"A trip down Hamburg's Reeperbahn now is as mischievous…

A Celebrity Saver
Michael Nolin, one of the 350,000 members of the $3.8 billion Redstone Federal Credit Union, was the grand prize winner of the "You're a Celebrity Saver at Redstone" campaign. The 14-year-old got to impress his family and friends with a night on the town, complete with limo, dinner and movie. The campaign focused on educating teenagers about money and encouraged them to visit a Redstone branch to build a relationship with the Huntsville, Ala., credit union. Those who opened new accounts or deposited at least $25 into an existing account in April were eligible for the contest. Forty-three winners from 21 branches were selected. Each of those winners won movie tickets and Michael then won the drawing for the grand prize.

And I'm not such experienced at Haskel to build a one on my own. :(

 The Yesod site itself[1] is basically a CMS application, depending on
 your definition. It's a product that my company[2] is working on to
 address needs of large organizations in creating both structured and
 community-enhanced documentation. (More information available if
 anyone's interested...)

 That said, I wouldn't judge a community based on the presence or
 absence of a single application. The fact that there are three active
 frameworks (Yesod, Happstack, Snap) that all seem to be growing in
 popularity says more than the fact that my company is writing a CMS.

Editor's Viewpoint: What can they say to the dissidents?
Nothing is ever quite as it seems in politics and, especially, in Northern Ireland. Just days after Secretary of State, Owen Paterson, said there could be no meaningful talks with dissident republicans, it is claimed that the terrorist organisations have the ear of both the Irish and British governments.
The claim was made by deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness, who from past experience knows a thing or two about how these matters are conducted. Of course, no elected politicians are involved in the talks with the dissidents - our report says some independent figures are acting as go-betweens - which gives both governments just enough wriggle room to deny that they are talking to terrorists.
However, it does seem that there are on-going discussions. Just what they hope to achieve, however, is a very debatable point. It is claimed that a reduction in the number of punishment shootings has followed the contacts, but, worryingly, there has been an upsurge in attempts to kill people, including a female policewoman and her baby, with booby-trap bombs. The question many people will ask is what can you offer terrorist groups which seem hell-bent on pure anarchy? They have rejected the peace process, created in part by the republican tradition from which they sprang totally unreconstructed. They seem to have no political philosophy apart from a simplistic 'Brits out' and achieving Irish unity through coercion.
When the talks which led to the Provisional IRA ceasefires in the 1990s were being held, it was obvious that the Provos desperately wanted to end the conflict and use their political muscle to further their aims. The dissidents do not have any visible alternative course of action. There is some concern that talks involving two national governments, even if by proxy, could be interpreted by the terrorists as a sign of weakness and could encourage wilder elements to ratchet up their campaign of violence. The population at large holds the view that vigorous pursuit of the terrorists by police is the best option at this time.
