Why Dowry Payments Declined with Modernization in Europe but Are Rising in India
AbstractIn contrast to most dowry-oriented societies in which payments have declined with modernization, those in India have undergone significant inflation over the last five decades. This paper explains the difference between these two experiences by focusing on the role played by caste. The theoretical model contrasts caste- and non-caste-based societies: in the former, there exists an inherited component to status (caste) that is independent of wealth, and in the latter, wealth is the primary determinant of status. Modernization is assumed to involve two components: increasing average wealth and increasing wealth dispersion within status (or caste) groups. The paper shows that, in caste-based societies, the increases in wealth dispersion that accompany modernization necessarily lead to increases in dowry payments, whereas in non-caste-based societies, increased dispersion has no real effect on dowry payments and increasing average wealth causes the payments to decline.

Warrensburg Out of the Darkness Walk Raising Awareness to Prevent Suicide [INTERVIEW]
Mental health can be one of those topics that some of us don't like to discuss. It's something we often kind of push under the rug, telling ourselves that we need to "suck it up" or "deal with it" and not be open about our struggles. That's where, unfortunately, many lives go astray.

Chehaw Park kicked off their second annual World Ocean Day.
Kids at the park got a hands on experience with sea animals in the mobile Gulf Specimen Marine Lab from Florida. They touched star fish, sting rays, and sea horses. Organizers say the day celebrates the ocean and all it has to offer.
"Everything, not just sea life that we have in the ocean or on land, all these animals are a gift and we should appreciate them and do everything we can to make sure they survive and that their environments are protected," said Cypress Rudloe with the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab.
The Jekyll Island Sea Turtle Center and the Flint RiverQuarium also had educational booths. World Ocean Day will continue tomorrow at the Flint RiverQuarium from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

"The invitations I ordered for my sisters baby shower not only came quickly, but they were exactly what I expected! The quality was superb! They are absolutely beautiful and we couldn't be happier."
"I looked at several sites & finally found Tinyprints. I found the perfect card. It was old-fashioned , we was perfect. Everyone loved it."
"These invitation were outstanding.....I would recommend this item to anyone wanting quality, attractiveness and great presentation. Worth every penny and the price was great.' *****5 Stars..."
"This invitation was perfect for our shower since we weren't allowed to reveal the gender of the baby. My fellow party planners and I loved the whimsical look and all the hearts--they serve as a perfect reminder of all the love that went into preparing for this baby and all the love that will go into raising this baby. We also like the different fonts used to communicate information and the large heart used to indicate the date of the shower. If there's one flaw with this design, it's that the font on the very last line stating where the mom is registered is too small. My eyes are pretty good, but I still have to squint!"
"Absolutely perfect and it thrilled the Mom and Dad to be, to see their baby's name in print, for the first time!! The personlized attention that I received over the phone was very patient and attentive throughout the entire decision-making and order-taking process! The delivery time was quick and efficient as I really waited until the last minute to order my invitations. I was able to get them in the mail on time and everyone has received them within two weeks of the shower~ thanks to you all!!"

.. Tumblr won't reset password? Or Simscave won't reset your password? (If it's simscave that's known problem, the stupid email notification system keeps breaking for some reason. :/ ) You can send us your username/email and we can manually reset the password (it won't be published no worries) - once simscave is back up and running that is.
If your problem is really tumblr then you have to contact tumblr support.
asianaddict505 asked:
I'm not sure how old this message is but at the moment the site indeed is down (or rather the domain expired) if I'm not completely wrong I don't think simscave allows using special characters like * ~ ^ etc, in names so it wouldn't let you for example use something like ¨~*username*~¨ there while just the username would be accepted (as long as someone else hasn't used it before you of course) Once Cave is back try using simpler username. :)

Don't worry, we haven't gone anywhere! :) If you're getting a 'This Domain Name Has Expired' note, it's because the domain expired sometime in May, but it got renewed on the 26th (see here: http://who.is/whois/mustbedestroyed.org).

Like so many other sites we thought that we should give everyone a chance to advertize their own creations and sites so we set up a new board under Updates section - a place where anyone who has their own Sims site can announce they have new updates on their site without having to wait for our Cave Scout team to get to posting new finds! So why not start up a topic for your site (can also be blog/forum etc. as long as you upload files there) under our BRAND NEW Updates from site owners
A lot of people seem to be having problems accessing GoS at the moment, so I'm copying the note CuriousB left at the forum today, for all those who may be interested to take a look but can't for obvious reasons:
"Our main piece of advice, for those having difficulty accessing GoS, is to change your default DNS servers - we suggest trying either OpenDNS (https://store.opendns.com/setup/computer/) or Google DNS (https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/). There are no known security or other issues associated with doing so.
Of course we aren't insisting that members take this advice, and we're not deliberately being difficult by continuing to suggest this option, but it really is the best approach to solving any access problems (as well as clearing your browser and DNS caches). I'm afraid that if people choose not to follow the advice we have offered, then they have to accept that they're very likely to have problems getting onto the site.
We do, however, understand that for those who have followed all the advice, then continued difficulties in accessing GoS must be very frustrating. I'm sorry to say that we still don't know what the problem might be.
For reference, I'm copy-pasting the advice here from the GoS tumblr:
If you are not able to connect to GoS on the new server (for example, if you get a "server not found" error), please do the following:
1) Clear you browser cache: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache
2) Flush your DNS cache: http://www.wikihow.com/Flush-DNS
3) Change your default DNS servers to OpenDNS: https://store.opendns.com/setup/computer/
If you are still having problems after completing these three steps, then please let us know here on tumblr.
If anyone would prefer not to use OpenDNS instead of their default DNS servers, or is still having problems accessing the site, there are alternatives, such as the Google DNS servers: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/."

Nike Air Max LeBron VII Low 'Summit Lake Hornets' – New Images
January 31st, 2011 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments
A couple weeks ago we got a look at a teal and purple Nike Air Max LeBron VII Low that could have very easily passed as a Hornets colorway. It was only a few weeks before that when DJ Clark Kent gave the world our first look at the LeBron 8 V2 in the Summit Lake Hornets palette, and DJCK is offering another look-but-don't-touch. Here's a pile of AML7 Lows in a home look for LeBron's AAU squad, a colorway that would have been absolutely perfect had it released this past summer. The sole looks great in translucent teal and leaves us hoping some version of the LeBron VIII gets this treatment. Click through to see more and let us know how these compare to Summit Lake releases gone by.

Brooklyn Nets – Joe Johnson – 2012-13 Salary: $19.75 Million
Atlanta Hawks really wanted to get rid of Joe Johnson's huge contract, and the Brooklyn Nets decided to pick it up. He was signed to a six-year $119 million contract, and still has three years left on his deal after this year. To make matters worse, Johnson is averaging just 16.4 points per game, his lowest in 10 years.

Posts about Ivy City
Cheh funds 11th Street Bridge Park, trees and recreation for Ivy City, and an Upper Northwest pool
Transportation chair Mary Cheh has released her serious budget proposals today, and has added funding to design and build a park on the piers of the old 11th Street Bridge, give the neglected Ivy City neighborhood new trees and a recreation center, and more.
Tomorrow, Cheh will propose that her committee amend Mayor Gray's proposed transportation capital budget to add $2 million to design the bridge park in Fiscal Year 2015, followed by $12.5 million across FY2016 and FY2017 to build it. That will cover half the cost; bridge supporters plan to raise the other half from private sources.
Under Cheh's plan, $300,000 will go to fix up streetscapes at Eastern Market, while $1 million over two years will pay to extend Ivy City's sidewalks and include treeboxes. That neighborhood, in an industrial part of the city, has no tree boxes on most of its streets, and therefore no street trees.
Instead of a tour bus parking lot, as the Gray administration proposed last year, Cheh's budget will fund a recreation center on that site (which costs almost $9 million). Rec centers in Chevy Chase, Edgewood, Hardy (in Foxhall Village) and Hillcrest get more money as well, as does the Therapeutic Recreation Center in Ward 7's Randle Circle.
The budget includes $500,000 to finish design for Franklin Square (but funding to actually help build the new park is yet to come in the future).
Roads will also get more money: repaving and repairs to roadways get a boost of $321,000 for each of the eight wards in FY2015. That's in addition to the mayor's capital budget which gave each ward's road projects about $5.2 million over six years. Ward 8 also got an extra $1.3 million from Gray, and Cheh's amendment moves it from the operating budget to the capital budget.
Finally, Cheh is funding a new outdoor pool to go somewhere in Ward 3, which residents have been campaigning for. Critics note that Ward 3 has one of the top public indoor swimming facilities in the city, at Wilson High School, but proponents say that indoor swimming isn't the same, and besides, the ward should have more pools.
Cheh's proposal also will fund some Ward 3 school and library projects: the Cleveland Park library, Palisades Library, Murch Elementary and Watkins Elementary renovations, and also the Capitol View library in Ward 7. It's not unusual for each ward councilmember to pop a few ward-based projects into their respective committees' budgets.
Where does this money come from?
A lot of the money comes from the South Capitol Street Bridge project. It current includes a swing span so that ships can access the Washington Navy Yard, but that was only opened 4 times in the last 8 years.
The Coast Guard has reportedly told DDOT that it is probably fine with not replacing the swing span. And, according to Cheh's committee director Drew Newman, they feel that if the federal government really wants a swing span anyway, then federal money should fund it. (DC is building the South Capitol bridge with local dollars, not federal transportation funds.) The change will save up to $140 million.
Cheh is also moving some streetcar money to later years, because DDOT has built up a surplus of almost $100 million in its streetcar accounts, and won't need some money in the capital plan until later on, according to Cheh's staff's analysis.
Circulator fares freeze, and commuter rail gets a plan
In the operating budget, not much is changing from Mayor Gray's very pro-transit budget. Cheh will freeze Circulator fares at their current level of $1 for at least one year, so that DDOT can engage with the public about whether the fares have to rise.
Another $500,000 will pay to create a Comprehensive Rail Plan. DC does not control MARC, VRE, Amtrak, or CSX, but there needs to be a unified plan about how to help grow commuter rail service in, out, and through DC. The tracks and stations at Union Station, L'Enfant Plaza, and the Long Bridge over the Potomac will need changes to make this possible, and since those facilities are in DC, the District can play a leadership role. The Committee of 100's Monte Edwards has been lobbying for planning around commuter rail, and he's absolutely right. Cheh agrees.
The Committee on Transportation and the Environment will hold its mark-up tomorrow. The other members, David Grosso, Kenyan McDuffie, Jim Graham, and Tommy Wells, could seek to introduce other amendments as well, though typically these budget proposals already reflect requests and negotiations between the councilmembers.
Charter schools could soon occupy 4 campuses which housed DC public schools until the latest round of school closings. KIPP DC, part of the highly successful national chain of charter schools, plans to make a bid for one of them, the Hamilton school in Ivy City near Ivy City and Gallaudet.
DDOT could put tour bus parking on Southeast Freeway
DC is having trouble finding a place for tour buses to park, but DDOT might have an answer: part of the Southeast Freeway east of the 11th Street Bridge, near 14th and L Streets, SE.
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) has started a study to replace that last segment of the Southeast Freeway, which connects the 11th Street Bridge to Barney Circle, and redesign the circle itself.
The roadway was originally part of a larger project to build a new bridge over the Anacostia from Barney Circle to DC-295. It was canceled in 1996. Instead, as part of the 11th Street Bridge project, DC built new ramps between the bridge and the freeway east of the Anacostia River.
What should DDOT do with the extra land? At last Thursday evening's meeting at Payne Elementary School, DDOT showed one potential use of land on diagrams at the break-out tables: a new tour bus parking facility.
I was only able to get photos of two of the bus options. In the third one, the bus depot would be at grade, and the Southeast Boulevard would be placed in a tunnel beneath it. We've asked DDOT for the PDF files of all three proposals. Update: DDOT has sent along all 3 PDFs.
This was only the scoping meeting to start an environmental analysis, so these are just concept ideas, which the consultants will develop into formal alternatives as the study proceeds.
DC has had ongoing struggles with warehousing tour buses while they're waiting for groups to explore the sights downtown. Many tour buses once parked in the parking garage behind Union Station, but got kicked out to make room for intercity buses.
DC proposed using the Crummell School in Ivy City, but advocates have sued the city over that plan, arguing that it violates promises to create a community facility there and concentrating more polluting uses in a neighborhood already suffering from poor public health.
Councilmembers Vincent Orange and Jack Evans proposed legislation to move those buses to a vacant lot near Buzzard Point. A bus depot on the old Southeast Freeway land could be the executive branch's solution to the same problem.
The bus parking discussion was only part of last Thursday's meeting. We'll have more about the boulevard itself and the need for comprehensive planning for this area later this week.
Ivy City deserves some environmental justice
The DC neighborhood of Ivy City is small, poor and wedged between three major transportation arteries. The community feels worlds away from the leafy, charmed streets of many DC neighborhoods.
Residents of Ivy City believe that the economic success of recent decades has passed them by, and in a way it has, quite literally: Those who drive in and out of the District on New York Avenue NE zoom past the neighborhood. All that car and truck traffic leaves pollution in its wake, contributing to serious health issues for many of Ivy City's residents.
In the latest insult, the District has proposed parking tour buses in the neighborhood. The buses do need a place to park, as the alternative is for them to circle around for hours. But must the buses The imperative not to concentrate things with negative public health effects, such as power plants or major highways, in poor neighborhoods is known as "environmental justice."

Traffic is poisoning Ivy City
Tucked away in the not-so-scenic brownfields of the New York Avenue industrial corridor, buried between Gallaudet University and Mount Olivet Cemetery, is an isolated enclave of houses known as Ivy City. Theoretically, it is not a bad location: about a mile from New York Avenue Metro station and its actively redeveloping neighborhood, and walking distance to the scenic National Arboretum. But thanks to its isolation from other neighborhoods and years of neglect, it is one of the poorest neighborhoods in the District.
DC Mud reports on a bit of elbow grease the DC government is devoting to this community. Four nonprofit developers will redevelop 37 vacant properties in Ivy City. DC aims to increase home ownership in an area where only 12% of residents own their houses despite the incredible affordability of the neighborhood.
It's easy to miss Ivy City while driving down New York Avenue. There are only four turns from NY Ave into Ivy City, and industrial superblocks front the avenue along the entire stretch. This is a very unfortunate use of street frontage on a boulevard that has a vista to the White House, especially since it hides the neighborhood.
Perhaps these industrial buildings are here because the neighborhood is so close to the railroad tracks on the north side of NY Ave, but nearby Brookland is a thriving residential community hugging the Metropolitan Branch railroad. And then there is Woodridge, just up the tracks from Ivy City. Unlike Brookland, there isn't even a Metro Station there. And yet it is still a pleasant residential area, not an industrial wasteland like NY Ave in Ivy City.
Ivy City is not on the wrong side of the tracks, it's on the wrong side of bad urbanism. Dumping traffic from Maryland freeways onto New York Avenue at Fort Lincoln is poisoning the neighborhood with blight. The John Hanson Highway (US-50/I-595) becomes NY Ave once it crosses into the District, turning 65 mph freeway traffic into neighborhood traffic. This continues all the way down to the entrance to I-395 near 3rd Street NW.
Today, New York Avenue is the only logical way for a car or truck to get from US-50 or the Baltimore-Washington Parkway to the 395 tunnel, and on to Arlington. The street grid connecting to NY Ave was undermined to make it more freeway-like. NY Ave's six lanes completely cut through the "circle" at Montana Avenue. Instead of an intersection at Mount Olivet Road, there is a freeway-like interchange. At the light at Florida Avenue, a faux "exit" prevents southeast-bound Florida Avenue traffic from turning left onto NY Av. Much of the original grid became super blocks along the corridor. Taking away these intersections made the route more freeway-like and less like a city street. And this makes the area less safe.
Of course there's nothing but moribund industrial development. Who would want to live on a shortcut between two interstates?
The key, then, is to take the freeway feel out of New York Avenue. Take out a lane in each direction (or make them bus lanes), add a tree lined median and street parking, signalize more intersections, reconnect the street grid, and perhaps lower the speed limit. Then NY Ave is more of a city street.
Then we have to do something about the two interstate highways that feed New York Avenune. The way I see it, there are two largely unpopular options here: connect them with a new freeway or get rid of the two freeway stubs (the I-395 tunnel and New York Avenue Freeway).
The first option would be a freeway that connects the 395 tunnel to the freeway segment east of Bladensburg Road. To avoid razing huge chunks of the existing structures along that route, this would mean either an aerial structure over the train tracks or a tunnel. The original freeway master plan for the District included such a freeway, known as the New York Avenue Industrial Freeway. This would create a much more logical freeway system in the District, and we could toll the new route (though I doubt the revenue would make a dent in the construction costs). On the other hand, this freeway would cost a lot to build, induce new traffic, and abandon smart growth practices.
The second option would mean shutting down the 395 tunnel, forcing all the traffic onto the Southeast Freeway, and closing the New York Avenue freeway segment, pushing traffic onto DC 295 (the Anacostia Freeway). We would then need exit ramps from DC 295 to the 11th Street Bridge, to maintain a connection to 395, as DC plans to do with its 11th Street Bridges project. This would be a much cheaper option without the induced demand, but many commuters would create an uproar over any freeway removals, and residents of Capitol Hill are fighting the new, larger bridge that will carry more traffic.
Meanwhile, DC is stuck in a middle ground with two unappealing commuter options, a freeway route without some ramps and a boulevard that can't decide if it's a city street or a freeway. And little Ivy City stagnates as a residential island off NY Av, crime ridden and blighted. Hopefully the refurbished residential properties will help, but I am afraid this neighborhood will languish until bold action is taken to improve New York Avenue.

Plant now, harvest profits later
This company is benefiting from the growth in farm income across the US and around the world.
By Chris Versace, PowerTrend Profits
Food prices are one of the things I've been concerned about, since the drought we encountered last summer sent the prices of certain commodities -- corn, wheat, and soybeans in particular -- substantially higher.
That was one of the reasons why I recommended buying Potash (POT) shares in February. Since that recommendation, the USDA shared that stocks of those commodities were challenged exiting 2012.
Worse yet, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) called for a warm, dry spring, which it forecast as leading to persistent drought conditions. At the time NOAA issued the forecast, just several weeks ago, 51% of the continental United States was in moderate to exceptional drought, with the key areas of the central and western regions especially so.
With that as a backdrop, strong demand for seed and fertilizer was more than likely, and that's what we've heard this week from DuPont (DD), Dow Chemical (DOW), and our own Potash.
Both Dow and Potash reported better-than-expected March quarter results -- Dow, due to strong demand among U.S. farmers for its seeds and pesticides, while Potash experienced a 78% increase year over year in sales volume due to improved global potash demand and record first-quarter nitrogen contributions.
Adding fuel to the fertilizer fire, Potash's earnings release shared that "first-quarter domestic shipments from North American potash producers rose 56% above those of the same period last year, and dealers' need to secure additional product remained high as the quarter closed."
To me, that indicates the near-term outlook for our POT shares remains bright. And that's before we factor in the removal of industry capacity last week, given the fertilizer plant explosion in Texas. Therefore, with more upside ahead, let's continue to hold our POT shares.
Now, that's a good, if not great, story on its own, but like most good stories, plays, or movies, there tends to be more than one act to the show. What I'm talking about here is simple math that goes like this -- high commodity prices multiplied by greater acreage means good things for farm income.
Generally speaking, when farm incomes are high, farmers tend to replace their equipment -- tractors, combines, and the like. In other words, there is another investment opportunity in the pain point that is high commodity prices, low crop inventories and increasing planted acreage.
Let's buy shares of Deere & Co. (DE), which is not only one of the larger agricultural equipment companies based in the U.S., but is also serving the rebounding construction industry. Roughly 20% of Deere's equipment sales are to this market, which is benefiting from the rebound in single- and multi-family housing.
While that housing rebound is a key reason why we're involved with ADT (ADT) shares, it's also nice to have when it comes to Deere-two businesses firing are far better than just one.
Favorable comments from construction equipment rental and leasing company United Rentals (URI) points to improved demand for this type of equipment, and that's good for Deere. Also, unlike some of its competitors, Deere's primary market is in the U.S., which also happens to be its most profitable one.
I see upside in the shares to $100 or $105. Keep in mind that this price target doesn't factor in the company's 51-cent quarterly dividend, which equates to a 2.4% annual dividend yield at the current price.
Given the rash of favorable farm-related results with more on the way, let's be sure to start buying our DE position, lest we miss out. We will not be using a stop price for this pick.

About This Book:
Title: Ifism: The Complete Works of Orunmila
Book DescriptionAccording to Orumila, there are three main factors conducive to a blissful sojourn on earth. One of some questions which I have asked on a number of occasions. It will be necessary at the outset to define what a blissful or successful life is. All too often there is a tendency for people to define true happiness and satisfaction, hedonistically, that is in terms of material satisfaction and synthetic pleasure.
Against the foregoing background, I will now proceed to illustrate Orunmila's three prescriptions for lasting happiness in our planet. These three factors are: To come through one's destined parents to the world; to have the fortune of meeting one's destined marital partner on earth; and to be born into the right ambience.
In this volume, IFISM-The Complete Works of Orunmila, Volumes Ten-Eleven-Twelve-Thirteen, The Odus of Ogunda, Osa, Etura and Irete, Mr. Cromwell Osamaro Ibie continues his revelations of Odu (sacred text of Ifa). In addtion to revealing the earthly works performed by each Odu (disciple of Orunmila) Mr. Ibie also gives account as in his previous volumes of the heavenly works of the Odus as well.

Apple Cider Vinegar – Healing Home Remedies – helping control blood pressure, reducing cholesterol.
Many of the healing home remedies that have been used by people for generations and even going back thousands of years has involved vinegar. The father of modern medicine, Hippocrates (from whom the Hippocratic Oath came) used to prescribe it for persistent coughs. He was also understood to have used it and prescribed it mixed with honey for energy and general well being. Ever since then it has been used to treat many ailments and considered and seen as part of many healing home remedies.
Apple cider vinegar has been used to treat such things as acne, asthma, helping control blood pressure, reducing cholesterol. There are many other uses that could be found as well. Many of them revolve around making an apple cider vinegar tonic which is adding 2 or 3 teaspoons to 8 ounces of water but there are also many other ways that it is used as well.
One of the healing home remedies for helping reduce acne blemishes is apple cider vinegar. Taking a solution of vinegar to water, much like what is used in the tonic, apply to your face a couple times a day using a cotton ball. This will not only help cut down infection, but it will help dry out inflammation.
One of the ways that apple cider vinegar is considered one of the better healing home remedies is in helping to treat asthma. There are people who have, with success, drank the tonic and applied a compress soaked with vinegar to the inside wrists.
To help control blood pressure apple cider vinegar is being used as one of the good healing home remedies. A tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon of honey in a glass of water a couple times a day will help lower blood pressure. Both apple cider vinegar and honey have high potassium levels which helps balance sodium levels in the body. The vinegar also has magnesium which helps relax blood vessel walls which also helps lower the pressure.
Another way that it is used is reducing cholesterol. It has a water soluble pectin in it that helps absorb cholesterol and fat and helps eliminate it from the body. The amino acids in it helps cut down and neutralize LDL cholesterol. Cutting down on the bad fats, increasing the amount of fiber you take in and using the vinegar tonic will help significantly drop your cholesterol levels.
In no way should any of this be used instead of what your doctor may prescribe for your ailments but there is little doubt that these healing home remedies using apple cider vinegar will help other treatments you have give you better overall health.

Revenge of the Raptors. Big time.
By Sam Holako
Efficient or not, Gay is in the house, and we want blood….BLOOD!
Epic discussion on Trey Rosay | Raptors going retro for 20 year anniversary | LOTS of stuff on Rudy Gay's return to Tdot…lots
i think about this topic alot... a few other effective/efficient ways to create a more soccer-like atmosphere in the arena:
-Use the jumbotron: all euro soccer fan groups have a leader to shout out instructions/songs etc.. the jumbotron could be used in the same way at the acc - for example: if a player gets hot his name can flash up on the screen (kind of like they have now with "D-Fence!"), "everybody jump" to get everyone in the arena to jump (looks great), flash up longer chants than just few syllables - some euro supporter group chants are full songs
-Eliminate the music: please please please stop with the music during play... it adds absolutely nothing and creates a Disney-like mood which is an atmosphere killer... possibly just leave the drum to serve as rhythm for chants
-Eliminate the circus surrounding the game: mascots, cheerleaders, stupid games during time outs... this is absolutely unnecessary... you are watching the best basketball players in the world, appreciate it! there is no need for anything else there to entertain you... focus on the basketball game
-More flags, especially like the big "We The North" one we had in the playoffs... should have those large flags for every big game and with different things drawn/written on them (not just "We The North")
-Banners - encourage fans to bring banners and hang them from the upper bowl terrace... it would look amazing if the entire upper bowl was covered in flags/banners... the banners can also indicate different parts of toronto/ontario that different fans come from
Just a few things off the top of my head, but i think these can be easily implemented and would significantly improve the atmosphere in the arena
For anyone that wants to see a good basketball atmosphere, youtube "partizan basketball fans" or "red star basketball fans"

FAIRBANKS, AK -- Friday night at the Princess hotel two Fairbanks families associated with the airline history and business in the interior will be recognized in a hall of fame banquet. Jim and Dottie Magoffin (Muh-Goff-In) will be recognized with the Explorer and Pathway Award for their founding of Interior Airways, which eventually would become Mark Air.
Cliff Everts will receive the Aviation Entrepreneur Award for his contributions to the Alaska airline industry and his development of Everts Cargo Express which is still operating successfully today.
Pete Haggland from the Air Museum at Pioneer Park says these folks deserve their awards.
'Well the history that they participated in, the Magoffins formed Interior Airways years and years ago, and contributed greatly," said Haggland. "And Cliffy came up from I think New York if I'm not mistaken, and started into the aviation business, and was leasing some planes to Wien, and then his evolved into Everts Air Cargo and Everts Express.
"It's very appropriate that they're being honored.. it's just a wonderful thing to see it happen."

Mormons� theology is based on New Testament Christianity, not Fourth Century Creeds. For example, the Church of Jesus Christ (LDS) views on Baptism, Lay Ministry, the Trinity, Theosis, Grace vs. Works, the Divinity of Jesus Christ comport more closely with Early Christianity than any other denomination. And Mormons� teenagers have been judged to �top the charts� in Christian Characteristics by a UNC-Chapel Hill study. Read about it here:
Those who question if the Church of Jesus Christ (LDS) is a Christian denomination usually are mis-informed because New Testament Christianity is closer to Jesus Christ�s teachings than Fourth Century Creeds. Mormons have a better understanding of Christianity than any other denomination, according to a 2010 Pew Forum poll:
11 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence (including several presidents) were non-Trinitarian Christians. Those who now insist on their narrow Trinitarian and salvation only by grace definition of Christianity for candidates for public office are doing our Republic an injustice.

It'd appear that slightly more people play enhancement than rogues since rogues got a legendary and we didnt. The only reason I can think of for rogues to get a legendary is blizzard trying to get more people to play rogues. Why else would they give rogues a legendary when it doesnt even fit in the current lore? At least Shaman have Thrall that's one of the major characters in the expansion.
It really feels like Blizzard is trying to stop people from playing enhancement.
It was bad enough that we had to constantly get weak stats on our gear because of hunters and never get picked in pugs because we're melee but now they even decide not to give us access to a legendary.
Next week they'll announce that they're removing our access to Sulfuras.

Cosmic Background Radiation - why is it still here?

If the Cosmic background radiation was emitted at approximately 384,000 years after the big bang, and it travels the speed of light, with mattter moving at a slower speed, how is it possible that the cosmic rays are still with us and haven't already passed beyond us 13 billion years later? (assuming a point source creation of the universe).

Aha. Well, the creation of the CMB has nothing directly to do with the 'creation of the universe', which is not addressed by the big bang theory. The CMB was emitted everywhere in the universe at the time of decoupling. The universe is a big place! Today, we are getting CMB photons that were emitted from far away in the universe.

OOPS! EDIT I see Powell already answered while I was thinking what to say! His responses are consistently helpful* and reliable, so you can go with that and just keep asking him questions. My reply is unnecessary now but having two does no harm so I will just leave it as an alternative.
You will see galaxies (slowly whirling white things) and photons traveling in the space between the galaxies (colored wiggles).
In that simplified simulation all the things are 2D, and live in the 2D surface. There is no existence inside or outside the sphere, all space and matter are in that infinitely thin 2D world.
Then you still have the problem of mentally extending the analogy to 3D but at least the balloon model gets you on the right track.
In today's space there is no one spot that we can point to and say "expansion started outwards from there----it all started from that spot."
when you watch the animation you will see that the CMB photons never go away. they just thin out as space expands, and their wavelength gets longer. But every galaxy continues to have them around it. At later times the incoming photons just came from stuff that was farther away, so they took longer to get here.
You can also look at the princeton.edu link in my signature at the end of this post. It is a Scientific American article that has helped a lot of people. It is called "misconceptions about the big bang". The idea that it was an explosion of matter outwards from some spot that we could locate in today's space, like a bomb exploding, that is a common misconception that they deal with in that SciAm article and show you how to get out of that mental trap. Popularizations have done the lay audience a great disservice by promoting that exploding bomb idea, it is not standard mainstream cosmology at all.
But try the animation and see if it helps! When you google "wright balloon model" you get
please let me know if it doesn't work on your computer.
*concise, expert and to the point. Great going! and thanks, if you happen to read this.

Cosmic Background Radiation - why is it still here?
Ok well I am kind of tired of the 'expanding balloon theory'. All models I am aware of point back to a point at the big bang of smthg like a singular point the size of an atom where the big bang occurred and that matter precipitated at around 384,000 years after the big bang ... hydgrogen and stuff. Now I don't care how fast space expands after this point in time, according to all that I understand (which obviously admittedly is not a whole lot), matter can not get to the speed of light ... so now I have a whole lot of photons being emitted from somewhere around this region ... moving at the speed of light and all the matter in the universe has to be travelling slower than the speed of light. Correct? And even if the universe were 384,000 light years across, though the space is expanding at some greater than light speed, but matter is limited to slower than light speeds, that the photons haven't passed us up and exited ahead of us to the 'great beyond' or whatever. Another perhaps important question is do cosmic rays show any red shift? I mean after all if some are emitted ahead of me and are on collision course with me they would have a blue shift, while others catching up from behind would show some kind of red shift right? I mean if all these photons have been here since the big bang when the universe was 384K light years across some of those photons would have to be coming from behind and some from ahead the way I see your explanation.

Imagine you are one of the dots on the balloon's surface.
Imagine that your whole universe is contained within said surface (as a two-dimenisional analogy, of course, not as a description of real 3D space). There is nothing outside the surface, not even the spatial dimension that is needed for the analogy.
You see that things ahead of you are moving away just the same way as things behind you?
And that these directions are arbitrary, as you're supposed not to move along the surface?

The source of the C.M.B.R. surrounds us in the same way that an eggshell surrounds the yolk. This is why it is both omni-directional and still arriving, and will continue so to do even it is no longer being created. It does not emanate from the region, (or the time), that saw the creation of our universe.
Jun11-10, 01:56 PM
So how many years from now will the wavelength of the incoming CMBR be longer than the longest wavelength of light we can currently detect?
Also bapowell said "Today, we are getting CMB photons that were emitted from far away in the universe." When will we receive the last photons from the edge of the universe, the edge that existed 384,000 years after the BB, the farthest of "far away"? or is that edge already outside the visible universe, assuming it will keep slowly expanding?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe:
"While special relativity constrains objects in the Universe from moving faster than the speed of light with respect to each other, there is no such constraint when space itself is expanding. This means that the size of the observable universe could be smaller than the entire universe; there are some parts of the Universe which might never be close enough for the light to overcome the speed of the expansion of space, in order to be observed on Earth. Some parts of the Universe which are currently observable may later be unobservable due to ongoing expansion"
So instead of asking why we can still see the CMB, I would ask when will the CMB disappear from view. Either from the last viewable remnants of it being pushed outside our observable universe, or from the photons reaching us having been redshifted to a wavelength larger than we can detect (say 30,000 miles). I'm pretty sure the current models of expansion show that eventually only our galaxy will be within the observable universe, so the CMB will disappear someday. In a static universe, or even in a slowly expanding one, I would expect there to be a day when every CMB photon has passed our frame of reference. Considering there was a finite number of them made, there should be a finite time for them to pass us.
BernieM, you said "Another perhaps important question is do cosmic rays show any red shift? I mean after all if some are emitted ahead of me and are on collision course with me they would have a blue shift, while others catching up from behind would show some kind of red shift right?"
First, cosmic rays are different from the CMB; cosmic rays are mostly individual protons and helium nuclei and I think most or all of them originate in our galaxy, and close to us. Assuming you meant to ask if the CMB blue and redshifted, the answer is yes. http://www.astr.ua.edu/keel/galaxies/cmbr.html The blue/red ying-yang image is the blueshift/redshift of the CMB. We can deduce our velocity relative to the CMB background which is 630km/s towards the blue direction of that picture.

Sorry for the late reply. Everything you say is correct under the assumption that there is a finite amount of matter in the universe. This might not be true. If it is true (i.e. the whole universe is of finite size), then surely the CMB will eventually disappear from view from our location in the cosmos. Of course, one cannot say when this day will come, since we have no idea how large the actual universe is.
In regards to the Wikipedia entry: in a decelerating cosmology, given infinite time, all points in the universe will become observable. While there is a Hubble length (the distance at which objects begin to recede at speeds greater than c), the Hubble length is itself growing faster than c! What this means is that while there is, say, a galaxy that is receding at a speed greater than c today (it's just beyond the Hubble length), it will be receding at a speed less than c tomorrow (since the Hubble length has grown beyond its position). In this way, eventually the whole universe becomes observable. Therefore, if the universe is indeed infinite, we'll never run out of CMB photons.
Now, that applies to a decelerating universe. How about accelerating universes? Current data suggests that we indeed live in such a universe -- the so-called LCDM cosmology (L stands for the cosmological constant, but we don't know at present if it is indeed constant -- it might be dynamical in which case it's called dark energy -- forgive me if you know all this already.) In a general accelerating spacetime, the Hubble length still increases, but at a rate smaller than c. And so, that galaxy from last paragraph that is outside the Hubble sphere today, will still be outside tomorrow, and ditto for all eternity. The Hubble radius becomes an event horizon -- it defines a limit beyond which things will never be observed by us on Earth. In this case, the CMB will indeed one day disappear, because our observable universe (defined by its particle horizon) will eventually grow beyond the event horizon.

BLACKFOOT—Many homes and business throughout the area were severely damaged due to a flash flood that hit the Blackfoot area on Wednesday. There are yet no reports of significant crop damage.
A torrential rainstorm dropped at least 3 inches of rain in the first 15 minutes on Wednesday.
While some folks were just contending with flood water, others were flooded with sewage backup in their homes due to the city's wastewater system becoming overwhelmed with too much water. Bingham County's Public Information Officer Scott Reese estimates that over 100 homes have damage from sewage backup.
A flash flood hit Blackfoot Wednesday afternoon following an intense downpour.
On Wednesday, Chief Deputy Jeff Gardner with the Bingham County Sheriff's office asked people to stay home if at all possible.
"We have stalled vehicles all over and we are dealing with the traffic," he said.
Some home and business owners reported that their buildings were flooded with water and sewage. City officials noted that the wastewater system was overwhelmed and asked residents to curtail their usage for a few hours.

Laura Raines, for the AJC
Theoretically, American businesses run on a plan. There's a budget, a mission statement, a sales strategy and a corporate structure with leaders and workers. It looks good on paper.
But what happens when the main plant goes down, the leading client leaves, the company merges with another, departments get realigned and jobs get cut? You improvise.
"Life and business are a lot like improv theater. You don't get a script. A lot of what happens is unplanned, and it helps if you have the skills to make the most of it," said Allison Gilmore, director of the Ph.D. in Business Program at the Goizueta School of Business at Emory University. She's also the founder of DuMore Improv, a group that provides leadership and team-building training to corporations and organizations using improvisational techniques.
Gilmore, a founding member of Laughing Matters and one of the Gorgeous Ladies of Comedy, uses her business and comedy experience to teach people how to think on their feet, know their strengths, be more intuitive, listen actively and communicate better.
"These are life tools you can keep, whether you're a CEO, a pastor or a cancer patient who needs to learn how to take control of his own care," Gilmore said.
Taking people out of their comfort zone, she teaches them basic leadership and team-building concepts in a fun and memorable way. In one exercise, a circle of 10 or 12 people are asked to throw an imaginary blue ball saying when they throw it and catch it. Then she adds an imaginary red ball. It gets crazier as she adds a virtual wet baby, and later, a chain saw.
"There's a lot of laughter and shouts like, 'Whose got the wet baby?' " Gilmore said. Afterward, Gilmore will help them look at what made the exercise easier — things like listening to each other, making eye contact and acknowledging when someone was passing off and receiving the wet baby, which serves as an apt metaphor for any assignment.
"Gilmore's improv seminar was valuable because it got stodgy executive types to loosen up and work together. I learned tips and techniques for handling situations that I still use today," said John Burdett, who took the seminar as part of his executive MBA program at Emory.
Today, he's the chief operating officer at TicketBiscuit, an online ticketing company in Birmingham.
"The best take-away lesson was seeing how using the words 'Yes, and' rather than 'No, but' leads to more creative problem solving and better outcomes in tough negotiations," he said.
Online-training modules and traditional classes have their place, but Gilmore sees great success with her lighter approach.
"People coming together to learn about themselves and their behavior, to laugh and de-stress, that's valuable. I think we need more innovation today," she said.
"People tend to remember what they learn when they are relaxed and using all their senses," said Karin Zarin, sales executive for Drum Café in Atlanta. Begun in Johannesburg, South Africa, 13 years ago, the Drum Café concept uses interactive drumming to break down barriers and bring people together.
Drum Café in Atlanta works with organizational and corporate clients to design programs that will help them build stronger teams and morale.
"Drumming gets people through the fear of doing something they think they can't do. I've seen a shy, introverted engineer take a tambourine and dance across the stage to the surprise and cheers of his peers. You can't put a price tag on that," Zarin said. "It opens up people's creative side, helps them to see co-workers in a new light and is a great stress booster. The experience can be transformational on a personal and organizational level."
Collective drumming requires good listening, learning to trust, working together cooperatively and seeing when to be a leader and a follower.
"It's a wonderful metaphor for encouraging teamwork and building trust. The ultimate outcome is to get people to work well together, because when they do that, they are happier and more productive," Zarin said. "Music is a universal language, so the activity is also effective for international groups."
In today's uncertain business world, companies who develop stronger teams and employees through training are making a good investment, Zarin said. Keeping it light and adding a little fun wouldn't hurt, either.

GULF OF MEXICO (WLBT) - Outrage grows Monday as oil continues to push into the marshes and wetlands along the Louisiana coast. 34 days have passed since the Deepwater Horizon rig collapsed, and it will be at least two more before BP makes its first attempt to seal the well.
The fight on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico is focused on the "top kill" engineers hope to carry out this week. They said by Wednesday night, we'll know if it's sealed the well.
Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of Homeland Security led a congressional delegation on a tour of the region, promising to put their foot down after what they said has been an inadequate response by BP.
"We will keep our boot on their neck until the job gets done," said Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has demanded BP reduce the amount of chemical dispersants it's been using by as much as 80-percent after a request the company find a less-toxic replacement.
"I wasn't satisfied with the answer we got. The answer we got back from BP, to me, seemed more like a defense of their current choice, reminded me a little about that old commercial, 'I'd rather fight than switch'," said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson.
The feeling along the coast Monday was one of fear and frustration as the oil continues to spread.
