Retailers Only Sell Half a Loaf in their Analysis of the Costs of Interchange Fees
Open Market published a blog post which points out the flaws of the Robert Shapiro study on the cost of interchange fees. The author writes that the study "ignores half of the equation – the increased costs to bank card users from banks needing to make up a sudden shortfall in revenue as a result of this regulation." Additionally, the piece highlights the Evans et al. study which finds that some savings to merchants were passed on to the consumer, but those savings were more than wiped out by the increased banking fees and the loss of reward programs.
We Didn't Regulate Credit Cards, We Regulated People
I described the effects of the Durbin Amendment to the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act in addition to a general overview of why current levels of regulation hurt the economy. The Amendment gave the Federal Reserve the power to limit interchange fees, which they did at around 24c per transaction for "non-exempt" issuers. When the Durbin Amendment was first mooted, based on the Australian experiences, we predicted that none of the savings to merchants would be passed on to consumers and that it would bring an end to credit card rewards programs and free debit cards. Now, thanks to a study by David Evans et al. of the University of Chicago Coase-Sandor Institute, we know that that did happen, and that consumers are worse off to the tune of around $200 per household.
The Not-So-Friendly Sen. Dick Durbin Amendment
Price controls are never a good idea, yet they seem to be a staple of policymakers across the globe. Inevitably, they result in dislocations in the market that frustrate both consumers and producers. If prices are too low, shortages emerge leaving consumers in the cold and producers disinterested in serving that market. High prices create gluts, as unwanted goods sit on the shelves while producers are enticed to produce even more. So it should be no surprise that Sen. Dick Durbin's (D-Ill.) attempt to control fees on debit cards has done little to help consumers, while the retailers who lobbied for the law are quietly pocketing billions. One study found that the Durbin Amendment transferred more than $8 billion from banks to retailers.
Judge Leon's Lawless Durbin Amendment Debit Card Decision
Since Judge Richard Leon issued his shocking decision on July 31 that called for even more draconian price controls under Dodd-Frank's Durbin Amendment, some legal commentators have given the judge the benefit of the doubt. They concede the Durbin Amendment is bad law, but they say Judge Leon was correct in his interpretation of the amendment, which basically mandates the Federal Reseve not set price caps on what banks and credit unions charge for interchange fees on debit cards at any rate higher than retailers would like to pay them. These commentators, some of whom I respect a great deal, simply overlook the incredible sloppiness in Leon's ruling in NACS. v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. Leon's decision is filled with unprofessional snark, misconstrues economic terms in the statute's language and limits its research of "legislative intent" to the "intent" of one member of Congress who voted for … Continue reading
How Card Regulation is Killing Competition
If you think there isn't enough competition in the payments industry, just wait a few years – there will be a lot less in the U.S. and European Union. Before I explain why let's take a survey of the state of competition. No, the payments card industry is not a perfectly competitive industry that would warm the cockles of your micro-econ college professor's heart. But then, what is? In the U.S. we have Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover, not to mention PayPal, several PIN debit networks, and a lot of startups, all slugging it out. In the EU the state of competition varies by country, but Visa, MasterCard, American Express and often some domestic systems are competing. Visa (either International or its European doppelganger) is the big dog in a lot of places. But Visa has a lot more competition than the leading player does in a lot of … Continue reading
Durbin's Dust Just Got Deeper: Consumer Costs Will Rise
The legacy of the Durbin amendment continues: A U.S. District Court has now ruled against the Federal Reserve Bank in a lawsuit brought to the court by merchant groups. The ruling claims that the Fed disregarded the intent of the amendment by inappropriately inflating debit card transaction fees above the average cost of the fees. While there is no doubt that this ruling will be appealed and continue to play out in the courts, the consequences of this decision will be significant. If the ruling stands, the implications for the checking debit card and prepaid debit card markets could devastate the economics of these businesses.
Court Wrong to Make Dodd-Frank Durbin Price Controls More Draconian
Today, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled that the Federal Reserve's implementation of the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, which sets price controls on what banks and credit unions can charge retailers to process debit card purchases, was not draconian enough. Though I am no fan of either Dodd-Frank or the Durbin Amendment, this is a severely flawed reading of the law based on a false definition of "legislative intent." Should the Fed adopt Leon's interpretation, it will almost certainly result in more bank and credit union fees for consumers. The Fed would also open itself up to even more litigation on the price controls, including constitutional issues involving the property right to seek a return on capital invested guaranteed by Due Process and Takings clauses of the 5th Amendment. In 2011, the Fed set price caps on debit card interchange fees at 21-26 cents per transaction. Although … Continue reading
Federal Courts May Reshape Debit Card Industry in U.S.
In a further illustration of the determination of merchants to wrestle control over cost of payment acceptance away from the global card networks, a Federal Court this week validated their argument that Regulation II rules were counter to the intent of Congress in writing the Durbin Amendment, and in effect, ordered the Federal Reserve to revisit its regulation. Another hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 14th. The Federal Reserve has not responded as of this writing. The court was not ambiguous in citing that the existing debit interchange fee cap was improperly calculated and included costs over and above basic authorization, settlement, and clearing. It also ruled that debit network routing choices were not provided for all authorization types, which Mercator Advisory Group interprets as meaning two networks for PIN transactions and two networks for signature transactions. So far, we have seen nothing mentioned specifically about the fraud adjustment component … Continue reading
How Swipe Fee Court Ruling Will Hurt Banks
The stiffer routing requirements may pose technological hurdles, according to David Stein, a director at the banking consulting firm Promontory Financial Group. He noted that Visa (NYSE: V) and MasterCard (MA) currently run the only signature debit networks, and questions whether those two systems could cope with potentially unpredictable swings in volume. He also said that the entire logic of the routing system would have to be changed to allow for Visa cards to be processed over MasterCard's network, and vice versa. "I don't want to say that they are insurmountable technological obstacles," said Stein, a former lawyer at the Fed. "But they could be very costly and disruptive to implement."
Banks Stand to Lose Billions as Court Slams Fed Swipe-Fee Rule
Madeline Aufseeser, a senior analyst with Boston-based consultancy Aite Group LLC, estimated that the Fed's current implementation of the Durbin amendment has cost banks about half the $16 billion they once made from debit-card swipe fees each year. They take in an estimated $40 billion from credit card swipe fees, which are unaffected by the Fed rule, she said. If the Fed responds to the ruling by reverting to its original proposal of 12 cents per transaction, revenue for the top 50 credit-card issuers who use Visa and MasterCard networks and have assets over $10 billion would drop to $4.3 billion per year, Aufseeser calculated. Banks called on the Fed to head off the decision's impact. "We urge the Federal Reserve to pursue all legal means to mitigate the harm this decision will cause to consumers, community banks and all institutions that provide financial services to local communities," Frank Keating, … Continue reading

Win the final Championship with none of your dragons being KO. |
This is probably the hardest achievement in the game! The battles are now way more intense and you have to beat 4 dragons in a row without having one KO against you. At first I was having problems with this, but then I figured out how to be extremely cheap and make everything really easy. Use Deadly Nadder as a dragon (hopefully you picked this one up like suggested). Make sure it's a level 22 (the highest you can be doing all the trainings and challenges). Use the method you've probably been using this whole time anyways described in the roadmap, or refer to the "Perfect" achievement which shows a video on the tactic. This will prove difficult otherwise, unless you are very good at the game. Save after every win! |

Canon Rebel SL1 / EOS 100D Size Comparison, ISO Noise Test And AF Speed Test
Korean site dicahub posted some interesting stuff about the world's smallest DSLR, the Canon Rebel SL1 / EOS 100D (price & specs).
First, a size comparison (translated) with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Panasonic DMC-GH2 (see image above and below). The Canon Rebel SL1 / EOS 100D is definitely a tiny piece of gear, and it is a DSLR!
They made also a ISO Noise test (translated). The high ISO performance of the Canon Rebel SL1 / EOS 100D is very good. Scroll down to the end of the post to see the crops. All pics were shot with the EF-S 18-55mm IS STM (price & specs). More noise comparisons can be seen here and here.
Finally, a Canon Rebel SL1 / EOS 100D auto-focus speed test:
Pre-order links:
- Germany (and Austria, Switzerland): Canon EOS 100D body only €649 (click here), and with the new 18-55mm IS STM lens for €799 (click here)

I am eager to hold one of these in my hands and see just how small this camera really is.
I know it's fashionable now to ridicule Canon if they don't come up with some new breakthrough technology with every camera release…but this one could be a winner for them.
Many people want a smaller camera but dslr quality; this will give it to them. Consumers don't care if its dslr or mirrorless tech inside; all they want is small and that it works well.
If someone is shopping for such a camera, and they have a choice between the well respected name of Canon, and all of their lens lineup, and a m4/3 vendor, such as Oly or Pany. Canon has a better distribution network as well, at least here in the US.
The crop sensor inside may not be bleeding edge tech, but it beats m4/3 sensors and it beats the Nikon 1 sensors.
Sure the lenses will be larger than m4/3, but there are small enough lenses in the Canon lineup, and many won't use more than a kit lens anyway. Most people buying this camera won't be looking to hang a super tele off of the end of it anyway.
In short, I think this can be a very viable product in the marketplace.
I'm also getting more interested in this camera as a friend to my 7D. I could get a tiny body and use my existing lenses. Pair this with the Sigma 30mm/1.4 and that might be a great walkaround. I think $800 is too high though. It seems more like a $600-650 body, IMO.
I do wish Canon would do one without the AA filter. Most of their aps-c cameras just don't have the same crispness as the fujis or a leica.
Agreed, it is priced too high, but then so was the (terrible IMO) EOS-M. But that is probably just a temporary premium for the small size. Once other small DSLR's show up to compete, prices will likely fall in line with the actual specs.
I just wish it had an articulated screen – great for macro, overhead etc.
Looks pretty nice otherwise, although the small size will not do much with big DSLR lenses attached. Still, even the OMD gets big with some long lenses.
hmmmm….of course this post is comparing it to MFT bodies…um…without the lenses….because once you put the lenses on …there is no comparison!!!!!!

You ever seen a brother or sister
Who could cure a disease?
I hadn't but I wanted to show the world that
Nothing's impossible if they can believe
They're gonna see a miracle
I didn't know what to do
So I went running to You to find that cure
Now I know for sure
I'm done looking around, I finally figured it out
It's more than metaphysical
You got me up from down, faith has shattered my doubts
I believe in miracles
I knew what I wanted to do
But just like gravity's pull I always did the opposite
Life was a meaningless party
I started to fall into a bottomless hole
But then I got a miracle
Some people don't have a clue
If all of this could be true
But take a look at me, I was blind but now I see
There's something that's missing
If we can't recognize that our own existence
Is the miracle before our eyes

Oral Rotavirus Vaccine
An oral rotavirus vaccine that is cheaper and easier to use than the current
vaccine is being designed by U.S. drug maker Merck and Britain's Welcome Trust
charity. The vaccine aims at protecting against rotavirus infections. The vaccine
will be in the form of granules that will dissolve in the mouth and are easy to
store and administer. Every year, rotavirus claims the lives of more than 5oo,ooo
The currently available rotavirus vaccines are made by Merck & Co. and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). They have to be kept in cold storage thus making the transportation and delivery process a little complex and costly. The researchers will look for features like heat stability, ease of administration, package size and low cost. The team is also working with Medicine in Need (MEND) for developing advanced drug and vaccine delivery technologies.
Hilleman's chief executive, Altaf Lal said that they hope to be ready with a product within 4 years which could then be manufactured by drug makers and sold at an affordable price to developing countries. He also said that if these rotavirus immunizations went on successfully they would further think about developing such oral vaccines for other diseases to help people in the developing countries.

Anyone who knows me will tell you I felt seriously uncomfortable at some of the things people were saying when our Verizon Team Penske No. 12 car scored three wins back in April. Some people who should know better were saying we'd have the title wrapped up by August! I was thinking, "Jeez, are you new to this sport?"
I have true faith in Verizon Team Penske and all the people who work on my No. 12 car, but it's not in our nature to go coasting into a race weekend underestimating the job ahead. We know how tight the battles are in the IZOD IndyCar Series, we know how strong our rivals can be and going into any event expecting to be on top is just asking for trouble. If you think that way, you deserve to get your butt kicked. Everyone who follows IndyCar knows you can have the fastest car and the quickest pit crew, but something unpredictable can work against you and so you end up failing to execute. Look at our stats: since that third win, our race results have been DNF-4th-8th-12th-DNF, and that's despite our qualifying 5th-2nd-5th-4th-6th! That sort of shows how tough it is even when you're consistently quick, as the the Verizon car has been.
My last blog covered the races through to Texas. Since then we've had Milwaukee, where we qualified fourth, had to start 14th because of an engine-change penalty, and then made good progress through to the top five. In my opinion, it was harder to pass than ever at the Milwaukee Mile this year. The only time you could gain more than one position was on a restart, and even then, it was only if you were lucky enough to start on the inside line. After that, once the field strung out, if you made it past one car, it would take you so long to complete the pass – and lose you so much speed doing it – that the next person you'd want to pass was long gone! So track position became very important, and a couple of tough pit stops and a couple of restarts where I played it carefully meant we got swamped.
Iowa should have been much better. Certainly the racing was awesome; two lanes opened up and people were able to pass. I think we had a decent car, and we could have got a top four that night, but that hope ended when we came together with EJ Viso. It's hard to check your mirrors on turn-in, so as we'd been going down the straight, I looked and he was behind me. Then I'm not sure if he went slightly to my outside and then swooped low – the TV footage afterward didn't show the lead-up to the accident. But apparently my spotter did say, "Inside, inside, inside" as I turned in, and I just didn't hear him, so what happened there, I don't know. Whatever, the result was my left rear made contact with Viso's right front and that tipped us both into a spin.
I tell you, looking at our points tally from the last five races, I'm pretty grateful that we're still leading the championship, even if it's only by three points. What's helped us is that those race wins have been divided up between the Ganassi guys, Andretti Autosport and Dale Coyne Racing. I think in terms of pace, we've been more consistent than them but we haven't been able to take advantage.
Well, I'm sick of this, to be honest – I miss Victory Lane. Mentally, I'm not in conservative mode and I'm not thinking about protecting my points lead. If you've seen the momentum swinging away from you, there's only one attitude to have: it's time to switch from hunted to hunter, and that's how I feel heading to the Canadian races.
At Toronto, we'll have push to pass for the first time with the DW12. I wish IndyCar hadn't lowered the basic boost pressure from 155 to 150kpa in order to give us 160kpa when we hit the P2P button: like most race drivers, I want more and more power, so losing 20hp is frustrating. But the difference of 35-40hp on the P2P should help us pass – although we should remember it can be used in defense as well as to attack. Still, it brings an interesting new dynamic to the race, and I'd expect Toronto to be pretty action-packed as usual, so Race Control could be busy. At least [IndyCar president of competition] Beaux Barfield understands racing, though; his decision to keep the pits open under yellow has shown that. Overall, I'd say he's pretty good at making sure drivers don't have their races screwed up by circumstances and full-course cautions.
As well as the push to pass, the other thing that has increased passing opportunities on road and street courses this year has been the good work done by Firestone to increase the difference between the softer-compound red-walled tires and the harder black tires. This has also increased the importance of a driver's tire management – and it's increased the amount of mental work that myself, my engineer Dave Faustino and Penske Racing team president and my race strategist Tim Cindric (LEFT) go through before the race, plotting what to use and when. Obviously the idea is to maximize your potential on any set of tires, in any set of circumstances, so you have to be prepared...pretty much for anything. Then you have to consider that over the past couple of years, Toronto has been hard on tires anyway, with all its different surfaces and the lateral load you put on the tires on those surfaces. Yeah, as always, we have a lot to think about.
And making no mistakes on your qualifying run is more vital than ever. You know how on other circuits we say that half a second can be the difference between first and 10th? Well, remember, the Toronto lap is only a minute long at qualifying speed, so the difference between the fastest and slowest shrinks even more. One mistake can be the difference between you making it out of your Round 1 group in qualifying and not. If you don't make it, you will be absolutely buried in the pack.
My two closest challengers in the points, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Scott Dixon, are always fast at Toronto, my two Penske teammates Ryan Briscoe and Helio Castroneves are going to be as strong as ever, Justin Wilson and Dario Franchitti were the polesitters in 2010 and 2009, respectively, and then there's James Hinchcliffe and Alex Tagliani on home ground, Graham Rahal who is also good there and Sebastien Bourdais is back. How many's that? 10… 11 if you include me. Well, that's five of us who are going to be left disappointed by not getting into the Firestone Fast Six. But at least when you reach the Fast Six, you know you're competing with the best of the best during that final session, so there's less chance of someone spinning and bringing out the yellow flag during your qualifying run, or getting in your way. The earlier rounds, when there are 12 or 13 cars on a one-minute lap, are pretty crazy. Thankfully, Tim is good at sending the Verizon Team Penske car onto a clear track so I don't hold up anyone and no one holds me up.
I think Chevrolet saw how strong the opposition was at Brazil and Belle Isle in terms of speed trap figures, so they, like the rest of us on Verizon Team Penske, are going to be bringing their A-game. Given that Honda won in Chevy's back yard in Detroit, it would be a pretty sweet deal if Chevy could win the Honda Indy Toronto!
I think outright power is going to be even more important in Edmonton, though. The building work on that airfield gave Tony Cotman a restricted amount of space to work with when he redesigned the track for last year's race, and so we had lots of slow corners and long straights. It's going to be about power, torque and braking more than handling. There shouldn't be problems with the brakes this year, because they're carbon and the hotter they run, the better they are. Takuma Sato was on pole there last year because he's pretty good under braking, so he's another driver we should look at to be a competitor in Edmonton.
It's become a cliché, I know, to say how tough the IZOD IndyCar Series field is in 2012 and it's true; there honestly aren't many drivers I'd rule out on any given weekend. But I'm confident that the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske car will be a strong contender, and then it's a matter of taking full advantage of that. It's been two months since we were last in Victory Lane and that is a long time for a team as competitive as this. I love the Canadian events – open-wheel racing has a lot of loyal fans north of the border and I hope that IndyCar puts on a great show for them as usual. But unlike in recent races, I'd really like to be out in front, ahead of all the action…

SUNDAY is the day for Festival on the Square at Reston Heights - October 27, from noon until 4. Have…Read More some fun! Sign up for the Cornerstones Help the Homeless Community Walk online; find info about the whole event at www.TheFestivalOnTheSquare.com
Pam Lackland September 20, 2013 at 08:17 am
These events at the Town Center are all just getting too pricey for many people to be able to attend…Read More them and this is not the way we should want the Reston Community to go. When we attended the wine and craft festival a few weekends ago, we had to pay $25 or $35 each to sample itsy-bitsy amounts of wine....not worth it and its creating an atmosphere of exclusivity there. There should be tickets that you can buy as many or as few as you want to like at the Taste of the Town so that it doesn't exclude those who cannot afford these exorbitant prices from attending and being part of our community.
Jean Dudley Johnson September 21, 2013 at 05:19 pm
Also, I'd recommend selling separate tickets - one for the alcohol and one for the arts and crafts…Read More (and, in this case, one for the food). I hardly ever drink, but I would have been interested in the arts & crafts and the barbecue.

What pissed me off more than anything is that they had the stomach to say we would get double XP as a compensation.Insulting.
@cwjoe said:I don't see why they're even bothering. It's cheaper to just import the US version of the game, since DS games are region free.SMT games in Europe are, and always have been, a complete farce.Eh, its getting better.Shin Megami Tensei 4 and Soul Hackers are both coming out over here.
The worst part of this is that the 3DS remake of this game is coming out in Japan this year. Ill preorder it though, not only do I want to play it but I want to show my support for Shin Megami Tensei games over here. Edit: I also wanted to thank Patrick for posting this, and getting some attention to something that only relates to us Europeans! cool move dude.
Honestly, there is no defense whatsoever to Fish's reaction. Marcus Beer did his thing, and he spoke his opinion. Phil Fish has a long history of extremely poor behaviour on social media. There is even a large following that simply will not play Fez because of Phil Fish persona. I personally say, judge the art not the artist. This was it though, Phil needs someone to help him just ignore stuff like this. You cannot tell someone to kill themself for insulting you if you want to be treated nicely. Fish deserved everything he got, cause everything he got he caused himself.
I am just lost for words. Despite being on the other side of the planet and only having watched videos of Ryan doing stupid shit since the gamespot day this is a loss that have been felt deep down. Something of great value has been lost to everyone. A great dude that deserved much better.A wedding and a funeral the same month is too cruel.

If you know me, you know how much I love maps. Particularly this one of Africa's true size. Above is a brilliant clip from the West Wing tv series that pushes the point even further. Enjoy. :-)
Honoured to have been able to visit @pkukubo at Rwanda East Africa Exchange. They are doing amazing stuff opening up markets in the region using technology.
Don't get me wrong, the reason why you started a venture or built a product is important. It is the fuel that drives culture in an organisation and gives purpose to the work one does. Being able to meditate on what makes what you are doing worthwhile, injects the motivation to keep producing the right kind of value.
But why should that be important to the customer or user? He or she might be inspired by the story to create their own product but not find usefulness in yours.
To be able to show the impact you have had in other customer's experience, tell their story. This would translate in more customers being able to see themselves in the shoes of these positively impacted individuals or institutions.
Just in the same way, if users only read or hear of bad customer stories, they will not want to be in those shoes. Take charge of the stories being told and highlight what impact and value you are offering.

In the past two years + I have been fortunate enough to work in the open data space. From the launch of the Kenya Open Data Initiative in July of 2011 where we made CDF data accessible through a mobile application to more recently where we deployed a pan-African repository for Government, Civil Society, Corporate and Donor Agency data. In this relatively short period, I have taken government data and made it easily interpretable for policy makers and the public alike. This has led me to see what power this data could have in shaping how we approach developmental issues; particularly its importance in the education sector in Kenya.
What Is Open Data?
Open data is the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control. The goals of the open data movement are similar to those of other "Open" movements such as open source, open hardware, open content, and open access.
- Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_data
This is a recurring question I receive (whether in facial cues or verbally) constantly when I say I work in the open data space so there you go. In short, open data is awesome and would allow a larger group of people to analyse and make fact-based decisions to impact the society. Also it enables keeping governments and institutions accountable.
Current State of Data In The Education Sector in Kenya
Last year at Code4Kenya we worked on FindMySchool (FMS.Ke), a portal to display results and help parents and students alike make more informed choices of schools based on their (the schools' and students') performance. Building FMS.Ke involved working closely with the Minstry of Education and Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) to get data that was not available on the Government's Open Data portal.
On receiving the data, we knew we were in for a hard time. First, the Ministry of Education and KNEC keep separate information on schools in separate databases with different IDs. So immediately there was no way of directly linking the different datasets we received.
Then there was the fact that all the data was outdated. Datasets on the school's details such as number of students and the like are over 5 years old. There is no way of definitively telling you what those numbers look like today (or last year, or the year before that, or the year before that). In fact the only machine readable dataset available from Ministry of Education on such school details is from 2007.
Last but not least, performance datasets across the years were created on an yearly basis. Meaning that not only did the school IDs change but so did school names from spelling errors. This meant that we had to comb through thousands upon thousands of rows manually linking years of school performance data and fixing obvious errors.
No Data, No Progress
Being able to see first hand what was going on made me realize a deep-seated problem with how our public education sector (and most of our government) is being run. No cohesion across institutions and clear lack of simple information systems fundamentals.
The lack of data means that none of those political promises made can be quantified or reviewed. Meaning no politician can be said to have or not have fulfilled their duty to the people. All we would have to go by is the word of the [loudest] politician. Hence we choose by speech eloquence and not facts. Facts necessary if development is to happen as a factor of the leaders we appoint.
Strategic decision making is left to the headmasters of schools who do not have the necessary resources nor perhaps the skills set and experience to properly influence the bigger picture. The bigger picture being a better, effective public education sector across the country. This little gem has clearly stumped the growth with all sorts of malpractice being the order of the day at our primary, secondary and tertiary schools.
What Needs To Be Done
For data to become relevant and useful, we need an overhaul of the current information systems being used. At the very least, government should have a unified database for use across the different education sector entities.
Data collection still happens with a form filled out and passed along the chain of command. Being able to transform these forms or even supplement them with a simple sms, mobile and web connection to the main database could majorly cut down the time it takes to have updated, machine-readable data.
Most important yet, standards need to be created and implemented. Having a simple set of rules and guidelines on what kind of data is collected, how it is presented and who has access will allow for a clear cross-year comparison. These standards could range from how and what data is entered to who enters and verifies this data.
The Opportunity
The data could provide unprecedented insights as to what could make the current dire situation better. It would allow linking this data with others such as medical and agricultural, and getting to the root of the problem instead of wildly going about blaming him or her and committing vast amount of resources to fixing non-issues.
Having a platform where the Teachers Service Commision (TSC) is able to keep track of its teachers. Then from performance data fed in by KNEC, they are able to assign specific teachers to the schools that need them the most. This would reshape the current corrupt teacher placement that is dependent on who one knows and allow for a more transparent placement and review mechanism.
This data could also define the strategic positioning of secondary and tertiary educational institutions. Knowing a certain number of pupils are going to graduate from primary education in a number of years allows proper planning of the transition into secondary and tertiary education. This would result in budgeting for more secondary schools and more teachers way ahead of time allowing to look for funds without delay or crisis.
I could go on and on how one would be able to correlate this data with crime statistics or employment data but if we don't start to unify this data now, we will never know how much we missed. How many signs we should have been receiving that could have saved more lives and effect the development that we so badly need and want to see in this country.
We can only gain by starting to look at the data. And making this data available is the first step.
All in all, if our education sector can not do what it preaches (maths, computer science, science and languages), are we not all doomed?

Product Description
Ocado Diced Chicken Breast.
Ocado chicken is carefully selected by its British farmers who rear the chickens in rural locations in the British Isles.
Ocado chicken is succulent, juicy and rich in flavour. This is a result of the enriched diet that the birds are fed, as well as their living conditions.
Ocado provides chicken at affordable prices – without sacrificing any of the quality or high standards of animal welfare our customers expect.
Our poultry supplier works with 550 poultry farmers across Northern Ireland and England.
Chicken is one of the richest sources of protein and also many important vitamins and minerals. It is low in fat and low in cholesterol – specifically on skinless breast. In fact, chicken is lower in fat than most other meats and over half of the fat is unsaturated fat, the type that helps lower cholesterol.
This is an Ocado product. Like everything in our range, it's good quality, sensibly priced and, of course, responsibly sourced.

Personally I'd question the use by dates.
On opening well within the use by date, there was a strange, slightly off smell. The colour was certainly off -pink heading to grey as well. To add to the disappointment, if I were to use the meat, I would have had to re-trim a number of pieces as there were extraneous bits attached including small a bits of bone. As it was, I threw these straight in the bin and bought some better chicken from elsewhere.

Poor quality
Very poor quality chicken breast meat. As soon as I put these in the pan, they went "fuzzy" and water started leaking out. It's clear that the weight has been made up. Not at all what I expect from Ocado.

Disposed of this unpleasant chicken
I was suspicious of this chicken when I opened it but it was well within the use by date. I cooked it and upon trying a piece I disposed of all of it. It didn't look fresh as it was not pink and it had an unpleasant aroma although I wasn't 100 percent it was off - I wasn't going to risk it.

I wouldn't have bought this if it wasn't part of a meal deal, and now that I have tried it, I certainly won't be buying it again! Had to throw a couple of pieces away - looked too unpleasant to cook - and the remainder were of random size varying from half-a-chicken to scrag-end. Distinctly dodgy look, smell and texture.

Unnatural links ON a site (instead of TO a site) is a focus worth investigating in light of Sprint getting slapped [seroundtable.com] for hosting spam links on their own forums. That action was closely preceded by a similar penalty against Mozilla [seroundtable.com], and way back in March with a penalty against a BBC News page (called a granular penalty).

Updated: Manchester mailman who allowed children to play in truck pleads guilty on assault charge
MANCHESTER— A U.S. Postal Service letter carrier accused of sexually assaulting children on his West Side route pleaded guilty Monday in Hillsborough County Superior Court to a misdemeanor charge of simple assault, for spanking a child as part of a game of "playing house" in the mail truck.
Francis "Frank" Saucier, 44, of 260 Pawtucket Blvd., Tyngsboro, Mass., was sentenced to 12 months in the Hillsborough County House of Corrections, with 11 months suspended for two years of good behavior. Saucier, who had been free on bail, was taken into custody to begin serving his sentence.
Saucier was indicted in July on six counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, one felony count and two misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure and lewdness, and a misdemeanor count of simple assault in connection with his alleged behavior involving three youngsters between April 1, 2011, and April 9, 2012.
Assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Kenneth Perkes said the remaining charges were not pressed, but Saucier is required as part of the sentence to undergo a sexual offender evaluation and follow-up with any recommended treatment. The plea also specifies that he spanked the child on the buttocks, not just that he had unprivileged physical contact.
Saucier is also barred from direct or indirect contact with the three children, is barred from going within 150 yards of the trio's residences, and is barred from going to Conant Street. He is also barred from contact with any minor child, except family members, until that is approved by the sexual offender evaluator.
Perkes said there are a number of factors that must be considered in such a case, including what has to be proved and what the victims are capable of doing on the witness stand, including undergoing cross examination. He said sometimes the victims have issues that complicate their testimony and, by extension, prosecution.
"We don't get to choose our victim, the defendants do," said Perkes, adding that offenders often deliberately select the most vulnerable children.
He said Saucier picked the wrong child to spank in April 2012. The 10-year-old boy told his parents what had happened to him.
The 10-year-old, a younger boy and a young girl told authorities that Saucier invited them into his truck where they would "play house."
The 10-year-old boy told police that when they played house, Saucier would be the father and when the children were "bad," he would spank them.
The father of two of the children said in court: "This has been a long time coming for me and my family. My boys went through a lot."
Parents in the Amory Street neighborhood became suspicious of Saucier's behavior and contacted police April 9, 2012, after learning the children were in the postal vehicle, and Saucier was arrested on the assault charge. The additional charges followed an investigation by police and the U.S. Postal Service.
Saucier was suspended after his arrest. U.S. Postal Service spokesman Tom Rizzo said Monday that he was trying to find out what effect Saucier's conviction will have on his employment status.

Michigan State Police have identified the 25-year-old man who died Thursday night in a fiery crash on U.S. 12 in northeastern Hillsdale County.
Teri Michael Pollington of Hillsdale was heading west near Waldron Road at about 10:25 p.m. when he lost control, the Michigan State Police reported. The vehicle he drove went off the road, into a ditch and crashed into a telephone pole and a tree before catching fire, according to a state police statement.
The only occupant in the vehicle, he was pronounced dead at the crash site.
State police did not earlier release his name because investigators had to confirm the victim's identity because of the effect of the fire on the man's body.
The Hillsdale County medical examiner's office authorized the release of the man's identity, according to a Monday morning statement.

At first glance, Steve Back's photography is confusing, ambiguous and completely mesmerizing— his mission accomplished. As an engineer turned commercial photographer, Back's complimentary skills have most recently resulted in a concentration of images taken from an aircraft while traveling over Hutt Lagoon in Kalbarri, Western Australia. Captured over the course of three years, the un-doctored photos are a striking representation of the largest micro algae production plant in the world. Reflecting hues from bright orange to hot pink, the seemingly un-natural colors are the fortunate consequence of an organically produced beta carotene in the water— so vibrant it's sourced as food coloring. Challenging the imagination through scope and scale, Back's remarkable collection evokes a sense of tranquility as unearthly dreamscapes give the viewer a visual escape from the familiar and an introduction to the extraordinary.
beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3

I never wanted to cube up to a Zod for example, but I think I had found maybe two Shael's in my playing (usually quit playing a character 1/2-3/4 of the way through Nightmare) and now I have 5 on my mule character that is used locally.
Nice to not have >=4 of the first 8 runes and have 20 Thul's and then 1-3 of some of the others.
Gee, I might be able to make some of the 'mid-level' rune words now.

A Russian all-female punk band called Pussy Riot is known for politically-motivated performances and wearing brightly-coloured masks. Three members of the band were arrested for hooliganism after the band performed a song called Virgin Mary, Redeem us of Putin in a Russian Orthodox Church on Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2012. (Pussy Riot blog)
Russian police are searching for more members of the Pussy Riot punk rock band, a spokeswoman said, signalling further pressure on the group despite an international outcry over jail terms for three women who protested in a church against Vladimir Putin.
The Russian president's critics condemned the court proceeding that yielded the two-year prison sentences on Friday as part of a clampdown on a protest movement and reminiscent of show trials of dissidents in the Soviet era.
Police said on Monday they were searching for other members of the group over the February protest at Moscow's Christ the Saviour Cathedral, but had not yet identified the suspects.
Police did not say how many people they were looking for, nor whether they faced arrest and charges or whether they were just wanted for questioning.
Although the search was launched before Friday's verdict, the determination of police to pursue other Pussy Riot members suggested the Kremlin would keep the heat on the band despite the furore over the punishment imposed on the three young women.
"The necessary search operations are being conducted," a representative of the Moscow police told Interfax news agency.
A police spokeswoman in Moscow's central district confirmed by telephone that other, unidentified members of Pussy Riot were being sought under a criminal case that was now separate from the case against the three performers who were tried.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30, were convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred over their performance of a "punk prayer" urging the Virgin Mary to rid Russia of Putin.
The three held forth in front of the altar and wearing ski masks to conceal their identity, but were arrested after the protest. Two others who took part remain at large and the group has said it planned further demonstrations against Putin.
In an interview last week, other members of Pussy Riot - their faces hidden behind colourful ski masks like those worn during the "punk prayer" - said the trial had only strengthened their resolve.
The United States, European Union and several nations have called the sentences disproportionate, and the United States has urged Russian authorities to "review" the case.
Tolokonnikova, Alyokhina and Samutsevich said they had sought to protest against Putin's close ties with the Russian Orthodox Church and had not set out to offend believers.
Putin himself, an ex-KGB spy who returned to the presidency for a third term on May 7 after a four-year spell as prime minister, said before the sentences were pronounced that the women did "nothing good" but should not be judged too harshly.
They have already been in jail for about five months, meaning they will serve another 19, and could be freed if Putin were to pardon them. The Orthodox Church hinted it would not oppose such a move by appealing, belatedly, for mercy.
Madonna on Saturday joined a chorus of celebrities in denouncing the jail terms imposed on the three women. She said they were being sent to a "penal colony for ... a 40-second performance extolling their political opinions".
