There's a rumor floating around the capitol that the long-anticipated audit of the over-budget New Haven Rail Yard project will now not be released until AFTER Christmas.
Although there is still the paranoid part of me that thinks Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell's administration will issue the findings some time tomorrow afternoon, when reporters are leaving for Christmas Eve and it will be difficult for those still on the job to track down people for comment.
Rell proposed upgrading the railyard in 2005 as part of her transportation initiative, which included the purchase of 300 or so new Metro North train cars to service lower Fairfield County.
Earlier this year it was revealed the cost of the project had quadrupled from the estimated $300 million to over $1.2 billion.
Rell initially denied having been aware of the issue, but it then surfaced that both state budget chief Robert Genuario of Norwalk and Rell chief-of-staff Lisa Moody were aware of the rising price tag last year.
In June Rell decided to spend $630,000 to audit the rail yard plans for cost savings. The administration had initially said the audit would be completed by the end of September.

Yeast Literature Corpus |
We provide here a new text corpus, mined from biomedical literature, which refers to the terms used to describe Saccharomyces cerevisiae ORFs. This corpus is made available for non-commercial and research purposes only. If you make use of this dataset please reference the publication: Greene, D., Bryan, K. and Cunningham, P. (2008), "Parallel Integration of Heterogeneous Genome-Wide Data Sources", Proc. 8th International Conference on BioInformatics and BioEngineering (BIBE 2008). [PDF] [BibTeX] Dataset construction We retrieved a set of 38,661 yeast-related MEDLINE abstracts retrieved from PubMed, corresponding to the references enumerated in the SGD literature curation database (as downloaded in May 2008). Since the database provides links between references and genes, we can form a "meta-document" for each gene consisting of the concatenation of all abstracts annotated as pertaining to that gene. From this we constructed a bag-of-words model, represented in the form of a term-gene matrix. To pre-process the data we removed dubious ORFs, and applied standard stop-word removal and stemming techniques to the abstracts. We subsequently removed terms occurring in less than three documents. Our final dataset consists of 6013 ORFs described by 62,859 unique terms. DownloadThe corpus is provided in pre-processed matrix format. All rights, including copyright, in the content of the original abstracts are owned by the original authors.

Spanish fashion designer Custo Dalmau has adapted the colorful look of his signature t-shirts on this Harley-Davidson Night Road Special modified by Spanish bike builder Ferry Clot. Their combined goal was to achieve a dragster-like stance and a funky paintjob on top for what they call the "Animals in the Wild" project.
The unique bike will be auctioned for charity by Harley-Davidson Spain and the money obtained will be directed to the San Juan de Dios Foundation in Barcelona, who works on aid and development in the African country of Sierra Leone.

The Yamaha R1 Rossi Edition is a one-off custom motorcycle that will go up for charity auction right after its customizers "give it wide exposure." The bike was created by a team led by Don Emde, 1972 Daytona 200 winner and founder of US based fundraiser Friends of Riders for Health, to raise money for the official MotoGP charity.
It was an expensive project achieved using aftermarket parts supplied by different manufacturers such as Rolands Sands (the aluminum wheels), Akrapovic (the Evolution exhaust system) and Ohlins (the FGRT808 front suspension and TTX rear).
Valentino Rossi's AGV 'Five Continents' graphics done by Pole Position Racing Service in Italy make it a "Rossi bike" and all these changes bring it much closer to the race track rather than the street but, just for the record, The Doctor's R1 is also street legal.
Although the bidding day hasn't been announced yet, Emde told MCN: "One thing I want to have in place would be the ability for anyone to bid on the machine, via online or some off-site methods. That would be something we would announce on the website, www.friendsofriders.org"

Tickets are available now until October 24th. The winner will be announced on the 26th of October at the annual Love Ride in Pomona. The first prize winner will win a 2009 Ducati Monster 696 (MSRP $8,995) and the second prize winner will receive an America leather jacket from Vanson (a $550.00 value).

Don't Lose Golf Clubs with Golf Club Labels
Posted by admin | Posted in Sports | Posted on 27-07-2012
Tired of losing your golf clubs? There's nothing more frustrating than playing a great round of golf, only to realize you are missing a club. Not only that, but it is your favorite one too! If you had Golf Club Labels, you'd get your club back quickly, without stress or hassle. Here are a few tips to use these labels for best success.
Add your preferred contact information to the labels. In today's techy age, it seems like there are about half a dozen ways to contact most of us. But there are probably one or two top ways to always reach you. These are the best contact numbers to add to your Golf Club Labels. Consider putting not just one phone number, but two so you can be sure someone can reach you easily if they find you.
Remember how you most often play golf and use your clubs – before you order your labels. Some golfers actively go out and play at different courses. They like to try lots of different courses. Other golfers play only at one or two courses. These golfers many people get to know them when they play. Each can use these labels but might want to add different information. The golfer who travels to play golf might want to add their address to the labels. They should also be sure to put an area code with their telephone number. A golfer who plays at the same course may consider adding a middle initial to their name just in case there is another golfer with the same or a similar name. This golfer should also include the area code, just in case they do travel out of the area with their golf clubs.
Put the golf club labels near the handle where they are easily seen. This is likely the most popular place to put the labels on your club. You don't want someone to find them and simply not be able to find the labels easily. Remember to choose a label color and font color that compliments your clubs well, something eye-catching that will get someone's attention well.
If your telephone number, last name or other contact information changes, order labels quickly. Its one of those things we all can wind up putting off until "someday," which is why you need to push yourself to be organized. Add this to your must-do list when your contact information of any type changes. If you get married and your last name changes or you get a new cell phone number, you need new labels. The frustration over losing a club is worse than the time it would take you to order new labels in less than a few minutes.
Consider giving these labels as a gift to your golf buddies. Not only is this a thoughtful gift to help keep them from losing a golf club, but it also avoids any disagreements about if someone thinks that someone else has their club. This sometimes happens, and it can be an uncomfortable situation. But if everyone's clubs have labels on them, this is solved in less than a minute by looking at that label!
Golf Club Labels are an easy and practical solution to a problem that has bothered golfers since the game of golf first began. No one likes to lose a golf club, and now it can be avoided. Choose your labels and add them to your clubs today to enjoy your favorite game even more!

We got all the party and none of the bullshit this November as Rita Ora shows us how to do night life.
I mean come on! Even if you weren't an obsessive party goer, you still would have seen her make a cameo in Keeping Up With the Kardashians as Rob's main squeeze; you would have heard her name mentioned as Jay-Z's newest prodigy, and if you haven't heard her ubiquitous song, "How We Do (Party)," then I swear you've been living under a rock—not even Roc Nation—this past year. Best believe, this 21-year old is a Brit with as much grit as glam as she bites off all that she can chew on our cover this month.
Meanwhile, the lights of gay Paris has never looked as fiery as when captured by after hours lensman Keffer. Check out his blanc et noir, tripple F (frolicking, festive and French) photos on his site, Jour de Nuit.
And last but not the least, Kanye West called him "the future," and that in itself is looking amazingly bright for rapper/producer Hit-Boy. Batting on the same team as Kid Cudi, Pusha T, Big Sean, and Common, Hit-boy goes from the pit to the pitch, ready to knock everything out of the ballpark.
Also in the issue are musicans Freelance Whales, Extrapolation, Walk On The Moon, and DJ So Super Sam, as well as bag belle Olympia Le-Tan, acrylic artistan Yekky Balingit, up and coming festival femme Maika Monroe, NYC night life fixture Ilirjana Alushaj, and streetwear swagger Bobby Kim of The Hundreds.
So watcha waiting for folks? Turn out the lights and let's get freaky this November!—DEXYLEBOWSKI

Dr. Laura Pulkki-Raback, who conducted the research at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, explained, "Our study shows that people living alone have an increased risk of developing depression …"
I have lived alone while I was in college. It felt wonderful to have my own place and not have to share my personal space. I enjoyed having my own place, but I can see how living alone increases risk for depression.
It gives you the ability to hide your low days within the confides of your home. Our home is where most want to relax and not have to worry. If you work at home it makes it more difficult for you to get out and meet people.
Instead you use social media to interact which is not good for your mental health. We all need social interactions with others. It makes you feel apart of the world rather than by yourself and isolated within the confines of your home.
I too in college felt the loneliness that comes with living alone, but with my depression the feeling interfered with my ability to get my work done. I found myself scrambling to finish and turn it in by the deadline.
According to a new study, people who live alone have a 80% higher risk of depression than those living in a social or family group.
This post is about why living alone can make you depressed and knowing this; what can you do to avoid falling into depression or even come out of your depressive state.
You don't have to leave your home
When you live alone, you don't have to leave your home to get your work done or worry about a roommate clouding your space. You lack encouragement to leave your home.
You have no one around you to see how you struggle to get out of bed in the morning or how you are late to an appointment. It makes you feel lonely that you have no one around to uplift and encourage you during the day.
You have the ability to close out the world within the confines of your home. Doing this leaves you feeling alienated from society. That lack of connection affects your mental health and ability to connect with others.
What to do about staying in the house?
- Get out more even if it's to walk around the block or admire your surroundings.
All you need is in your home
Most try to make their home a comfortable place. Everything you need is within your home. You have no dire need to go outside.
You can use technology to communicate through Skype, Google+, or Pinterest. It's excellent for meeting new people, but you still need to get out the house and interact with people.
Technology is a good resource for communicating, but it limits a vital part of a relationship: touch interaction. Touch interaction is one where the interacting individuals can actually shake hands, hug, or within intimidate distance to one another.
When not having this kind of interaction we miss out on the ability to form deep personal connections. It gives us the ability to shift from formal to casual relationships.
I made up the word touch interaction, because it makes a difference in your bonding whether or not you have actually physically surrounded yourself with the person you call your friend or family. Touch interaction gives you a reason to leave your home and actually make friends in the world and not solely through a computer.
What to do about building deep bonds?
- Start getting out your home more often with the mindset that you want to make deep personal connections with others for your well-being.
- Seek out places where you can interact with people who have your interests. To get out your rut you have to make an effort to not be alone and have others to communicate your feelings with.
You love being alone, but you're lonely
I am an introvert. I like being in control how, when, and where I interact with others. Being an introvert just means one who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.
Contrary to popular belief, an introvert can have good social skills, and wanting to be alone is not a sign of depression. Being alone turns into depression when you become lonely and feel like no one understands you.
Loneliness is an unpleasant feeling in which a person feels a strong sense of emptiness and solitude resulting from inadequate levels of social relationships.
The biggest concern with living alone is lack of building social relationships. You can avoid interacting with others and become lonely.
This affects your thought process. And how you feel about yourself.
How to get over the loneliness?
Doing these things helped me and it can help you.
- Choose to physically hang out with others.
- Don't make excuses for why you can't go out. Make it a priority to get out your home no matter how many people you Skype, chat, or email.
- Make dinner dates so you don't live alone.
Is living alone making you depressed?
Choose to get out more often to socialize. You need to go outside and hang out with others to actually build necessary bonds for your mental health.
Avoid letting loneliness sink in and make opportunities for you to start socializing with others at events, parties, shows, carnivals, etc. wherever you are not in your home or using technology.

I have a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (Atlantis) card. In my constant battle for better framerates I tweaked and renamed and what have you, but I only accidently stumbled across the tab in DirectX-3D-settings where you set your AGP speed (simple didn�t think of taking a look there because I would not have dreamed about anything being wrong there...): surprise! AGP speed was set to "off"!! I turned it to 4x, because my system is able to handle that. Catalyst/SmartGuard self-tested stability after required re-boot, and: second surprise! AGP was "off" again!!!
I browsed various internet boards and found out that 100s of ATI users had exactly that problem, and 10s of well-meant suggestions wouldn�t work! AGP was simply not recognized, although BIOS settings etc. had AGP shown and enabled. Many users noticed that problem after having upgraded to the latest Catalyst drivers (4.1 or 4.2; it was 4.1 in my case).
Only ONE solution worked (at least for me): AFTER upgrading to the latest Catalyst driver you should also update your chipset drivers, which in my case is a VIA chipset. Their latest drivers include an AGP patch. Got the VIA 4in1 driver (from here: http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=2 ), installed, went to my AGP settings - and: surprise! AGP speed now enabled and correctly set to "4x"!
Ok., fellow ATI users: Do check your AGP speed settings in your DirectX-3D tabs. (Obviously, many people would not check there because they simple assume that their system surely has AGP enabled!). If you find it "off", and have a VIA chipset, install their latest drivers!
Oh, I forgot: yes, fps went up (slightly....).

It was hardly right; but it had been so strong an idea, that it would escape her, and his submission to all that she told, was a compliment to her penetration which made it difficult for her to be quite certain that she ought to have held her tongue. (Chapter 27)
Emma's conscious bothers her after the Cole's party. She has a feeling she should not have been openly airing her suspicions about Jane Fairfax to Frank—she thinks she may have transgressed the duty of woman by woman. I agree and believe she did. Even if she had evidence of her suspicions, which she does not IMO; it is on the ugly side of gossip and just perhaps the first lady of Highbury should be above it. I can see that Frank's submission (egging her on really) is a boon to her vanity but I think the idea that his flattery creates a situation where Emma was right to tell him her suspicions is a rationalization she creates to sooth her conscious.
…till Jane Fairfax was quite ready to sit down to the pianoforté again. That she was not immediately ready, Emma did suspect to arise from the state of her nerves; she had not yet possessed the instrument long enough to touch it without emotion; she must reason herself into the power of performance; and Emma could not but pity such feelings, whatever their origin, and could not but resolve never to expose them to her neighbour again.
…Emma wished he would be less pointed, yet could not help being amused; and when on glancing her eye towards Jane Fairfax she caught the remains of a smile, when she saw that with all the deep blush of consciousness, there had been a smile of secret delight, she had less scruple in the amusement, and much less compunction with respect to her. This amiable, upright, perfect Jane Fairfax was apparently cherishing very reprehensible feelings. (Chapter 28)
In Chapter 28 first Emma feels pity for Jane and her powerful emotions but then cannot help but be amused at Frank's pointed questioning of Jane which is obviously making her uncomfortable. Jane smiles and Emma perceives it to be a smile of secret delight at her reprehensible feelings for Mr. Dixon. Emma then feels at liberty to have less scruple for being amused at Frank's insinuating questions to Jane. Emma wishes he would not be so pointed and tells him so. I think Emma is pleased to have yet another reason to think Jane less than upright and when Franks says Jane ought to feel shame if she has done wrong Emma agrees, I think transgressing the duty of woman by woman yet again. It seems to me Emma cherishes some reprehensible feelings herself in that she enjoys her ideas of Jane's fall from grace too much. Is there really a rivalry between the two women or is it all a product of Emma's jealousy.
This situation reminds me of Emma's flip-flopping opinions about Jane in Chapter 20. She began with a two-year dislike of her then decided she was worthy of her attention and then flipped back to her original suspicions (Chapter 19) of Jane and an unwillingness to attend her when Jane turned out to be as reserved as ever. I think Emma's conscious bothers her because she knows the reasons for her dislike of Jane (per Chapter 20) is little just and I think fueled on by her jealousy but also by Frank—why is he so eager to have Jane understand his pointed questions? Is he such a grugru to propriety that he feels it is his duty to go about ensuring young women for whom he professes no inclination feel shame when they ought or is there some other reason? He is truly offended? He is just a mean person? Is he doing it to impress Emma? His criticism of Jane and his too plain questions are so at odds with his solicitous manner to everyone else and I have to ask why that is. (;D)

Fred Shutrump, then-chairman of the Mahoning County Democratic Party, is also seated in the backseat. Youngstown's Republican mayor, seated between the two gentlemen, was airbrushed out by Shutrump, who disliked the mayor. True story! Paid for by the Mahoning County Democratic Party.

References to Vietnam have an additional benefit for Kerry, for that war symbolizes the harm that can occur when a government misleads the citizenry about a war. For decades, conservatives and Republicans have used Vietnam to accuse Democrats of being wimps on national security and unpatriotic or even treasonous. (Remember how the right went gaga over Clinton's anti-war activities.) Kerry and his advisers have deftly turned Vietnam into a double liability for Bush.
In these post-9/11 and orange-colored days, to defeat a wartime president — even one who, in botching a war, has undermined the necessary campaign against al Qaeda — Kerry may have to prove he not only has the right ideas and the right experience but the right stuff. Threatening to lead a filibuster in the Senate to block drilling in the Alaskan wilderness is not quite sufficient. Nor is having mounted an inquiry into CIA connections to drug runners during the Contra war in Nicaragua. So, when I stare into the sunglasses of police officers who stop me and check my car before I can head down Constitution Avenue, reminding me that I am working in a potential war zone — and when voters gaze at their television sets and see pictures of helicopters, limousines and trucks and are told that any of these vehicles can deliver the next blow to our country — I am thankful Kerry pulled off some derring-do three decades ago. Who would have thought that Vietnam might save us from warmongers?
Filtered: Disavow or Dissemble?
A TV ad from Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a 527 advocacy group (formed to raise unregulated soft money), accuses John Kerry of lying about his war record and betraying his comrades by later opposing the Vietnam War. Here is some of the fallout:
"It's notable that Swift Boat Veterans for Truth was formed not by a Swift Boat veteran but by Merrie Spaeth, a Republican PR hack from Houston whose late husband ran for the office of lieutenant governor in Texas with George W. Bush."
"They did the same thing to John McCain in 2000 — the same group. In support of the same crowd."
on The Daily Show, August 9
"I deplore this kind of politics. I think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable. As it is, none of these individuals served on the boat [Kerry] commanded . . . I think John Kerry served honorably in Vietnam . . . I think the Bush campaign should specifically condemn the ad . . . I can't believe the president would pull such a cheap stunt."
—John McCain
The White House Bulletin, August 5
Press Gaggle by Scott McClellan, aboard Air Force One, en route to Columbus, Ohio, August 5:
Q: Do you — does the president repudiate this 527 ad that calls Kerry a liar on Vietnam?
Mr. McClellan: We have been very clear in stating that, you know, we will not — and we have not and we will not question Senator Kerry's service in Vietnam. I think that this is another example of the problem with the unregulated soft-money activity that is going on. It does nothing to elevate the discourse. We hope the Kerry campaign will join us in calling for an end to all the unregulated soft-money ads and activity. Q: So the president joins McCain in criticizing this particular ad?
Mr. McClellan: We hope the Kerry campaign will join us in calling for an end to all the unregulated soft-money ads and activity that are going on.
Q: Scott, more specifically, though, will the president or the campaign ask this particular group to pull this particular ad off the air?
Mr. McClellan: We're calling for a cessation to all the unregulated soft-money activity, and we hope that the Kerry campaign will join us.

Hello Guest! I'm pleased to announce the newest official HS referral contest with rewards up to 1500 . Prizes
Hello Guest and welcome to HackSociety 8.0! As you might have noticed HS has now a new, modern theme. What has changed?
HackSociety Intelligence Center
As you all must be well aware of, there has been a lot of conflict throughout the community over the last few days. A lot of great members are leaving with many more contemplating following suit. There is a lot of anger in the air, I understand where people are coming from but enough is enough. I am truly sad that Hazard and Tam are no longer among us. Tam was a great up-and-coming member while Hazard has long served HS well. However, they broke our rules and got punished accordingly. There was no loophole. They thought by using Skype in the manner they did would keep them safe from disciplinary action, yet they made a thread essentially linking to their "service" which might as well of been just posted here. They are gone for their actions, time to move on. Negative has generated quiet a bit of anger and hatred over his decisions as of late. I for one am glad he checked the PM system. Would you prefer an administrator who banned on a whim, without confirmation? I sure as hell wouldn't! He used his best judgement to keep HS safe from the authorities baring down on us. We should appreciate his efforts, not scream for his blood. I highly doubt anyone is going through your private messages for no reason. If you are still uneasy, encrypt your communications. CrazyMouse, our dear founder and administrator. I find it quiet strange that people are shifting some of the blame over to him, even though he was on leave. He has dedicated so much time and effort to maintaining this great community where most people would of abandoned ship. Would you spend $240 a month to keep a forum running, with no financial compensation? The only compensation is that warm, fuzzy feeling you get watching your 'child' grow. He did not just leave us, he appointed a new administrator to keep things running smoothly. (A damn capable individual too I might add.) Leave the man study and excel in life! HS will always be second to real life responsibilities. I know this all too well since I'm still technically on hiatus. Carnis. I applaud you for your actions, fighting for our privacy. One day, I hope to see you join our ranks once more. You were a damn good member, an awesome mod and a great friend to all! Hopefully we will bump into each other elsewhere on the interwebz. To all the other members who are leaving. I wish you could sort this out but I understand where you're coming from. As I said above for the others, you have all served HS well and nothing will be the same without you guys/gals! I hope to see you all back in the future. Stay calm and keep hacking! Now to the rest of us. What actions will you take? Will you mourn the loss of our fallen brethren? Or will you stay, pushing harder than ever to make HackSociety great? We can lie down and look back at what we once had or we can fight! We can fight for a bigger, better community! Keep posting, keep writing HQ tutorials and above all else, keep making friends! Let us remember our fallen comrades but do not falter. Will I be leaving because we hit one speed bump? No, I'll be back with a vengeance! So, who's with me? It is up to you to decide where we will be down the line. </rant>
Hey HackSociety, First of all, excuse me for being inactive, I can't tell you I will start to get active again right now because it would be a lie. As some of you may know, I am a student and as a student I must study a lot in order to pass the exams. But I also have to work, because as a student I also need money to live, to eat, to pay HackSociety's bills and to get drunk! Plus, I have a family, and when I get the occasion I want to spend time with them. So yeah, this is why I have been extremely unactive recently. Sometimes when I log on HackSociety, I see that I have received 15-20 pms, and then I just get desperate because I know it will take me quite some time to reply all of them, so I just close the page and go back to work. I know what you think... SHAME ON ME! But guys, HackSociety is far far far away to be a lucrative website, and even if I love it running it, I must study and work to get some money Well, I hope you will forgive me, I will try to reduce the number of PM I receive daily by making a clear signature about it! So, anyway you succeed to get my attention more than school with this story about credit card fraud, spied PMs, doxing... Wow, what the hell is happening!? Yes, I have installed PM admin on HackSociety, to be able to get PMs details in case it is needed. No, no one is spying you, and Negative isn't reading all the PMs you send. Credit Card fraud isn't allowed at HackSociety, not because I don't want you to go in jail after having been caught stealing and using a credit card to order your iPhone on Amazon, but because I don't want to take the responsibility for you if you do dangerous/stupid stuff. If I allow this kind of discussion here there will be legal problems for me and the site will be taken down. If you want to do it, feel free join a blackhat forum allowing it. This isn't the place to do such things. And remember that when it comes to the forum rules, everyone is equal, o matter if you have 2000 or 20000 posts. Also, I have seen some threads with people telling they are leaving, this already happened like 1 year ago, I don't know if you remember. As I told in my last post, this is a forum, everyone is free to join and leave if they wish. Of course I would like all of you to stay here as long as possible in order to monetize the site and run the biggest hacking forum(haha ), but if you feel like HackSociety doesn't fit your needs anymore, well... It was a pleasure to have you here for the time you have been, I wish you the best in the future, and I hope you will come back one day! I'm not God (Btw where is he? The member "God"!), but I would with pleasure forget all this story if your guys are open to make peace. I'm not talking about "I would make peace if... because... so..." but about "Let's make peace and let's try not to be in a conflict anymore, even if you are a little bastard!" So, what are we going to do about this? Well, I hope you understand, thank you!

Intelligent Action
« Back to Page 2Another story: why has India succeeded in creating a thriving software industry, when the Philippines have not? Both nations produce qualified, English-speaking engineers. Yet the Philippines software sector has sputtered along, while Indias is a roaring success story with $20 billion annual revenues (up from $15 million in the mid-1980s). Indian startups were greatly strengthened by the network of Indian expatriates living in the U.S. who became important brokers in connecting Indian providers and their American clients. The labor-intensive efforts to rewrite software code around Y2K dates were a huge boost to the sector, and Indian entrepreneurs successfully built on that.
Arora says that a third emerging idea is the role of effective legal protection of intellectual property rights, such as patents.
Patent protection stimulates companies to invest in R&D, because they have confidence their investment will pay off for them, and they encourage markets for ideas and technology. Biotechnology and semiconductors are two industries where startups have relied heavily upon such markets to unlock the value of their innovative technology, Arora says.
Building an effective patent system may be one of the only ways governments can really strengthen technology industries.
Im skeptical about the capacity of governments to do a great deal, particularly governments of developing countries, which face so many competing demands, Arora says.
Governments can slow industries down, but they are much less successful at building them up.

Deciphering datasets
A two-foot stack of economic journals sits on the desk and two computer screens are blazing. Every square inch of the white board is filled with equations and u-shaped curves.
This is the office of Mel Stephens, the Raymond John Wean Career Development Professor of Economics at Heinz. Stephens uses large datasets to understand changes in economic decision making and how people alter their consumption behavior in response to changeas incomes fall or rise, as interest rates or gas prices fluctuate.
For example, he has studied how those who expect to lose their jobs change their expenditures (the surprising answer: not much). He has studied whether retirees spend more on the day they receive their Social Security check than they do on other days; economic theory says since they know when the check is coming each month, they will not spend more that day, but in practicewell, they splurge a little.
Like some of his Heinz School colleagues, Stephens is also interested in analysis of social changes; he is one of those who have done controversial work on the widespread social effects of legalizing abortion after 1973. Some studies have linked this to the drop in the crime rate in the early 1990s. Stephens and his colleague, Kerwin K. Charles of the University of Chicago, found a connection between legalized abortion and reduced drug use among adolescents. This is not an argument for or against abortion, Stephens emphasizes, but simply an attempt to understand the complex and unpredictable reverberations from a well-defined social change.
Another of Stephenss interests is in improving the tools of research and economic analysis. At Heinz, he teaches the electives in econometrics, the most mathematical and data-focused branch of economics, and he gets students from all the Heinz masters degree programs.
Being able to interpret data is a skill that managers and policy analysts absolutely need, in government, in business, and in the nonprofit world, Stephens says. They must understand research and the strengths and limitations of various methods and toolswhat a decision-maker can and cannot learn from observational study, or what statistical analyses they might choose to clarify certain issues.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Over the last few weeks, we've been looking at how the Fiscal Cliff could hurt Americans -- for example, by sending their taxes higher -- but that's not the only way they will feel the Cliff in their wallets.
Low-income Americans are very vunerable because many get by with the help of public assistance programs that could face cuts. If nothing is done, the nation is looking at an 8.2 percent reduction in NON-defense discretionary spending. Even if we don't go over the cliff, those cuts could still be on the table and they would hit low-income Americans pretty hard.
Let's take a look at what NON-defense discretionary spending is:
About a quarter of that spending goes to programs that help the poor. We are talking about programs such as Housing Assistance, Child Care and Education, Nutrition assistance, Home Heating assistance as well as programs for the disabled.
For example, Head Start could be impacted. The program for children reached about one million people in 2010. Under sequestration, the New York Times reports that 100,000 children would lose assistance. The cuts would also end child-care assistance for 80,000 more children.
Advocates for programs that help low-income Americans argue that these programs have already seen big cuts. They say that federal spending on their programs is down by over 56 percent in the last 10 years.
We also have a growing population in the U.S. living in poverty. The number of Americans living on less than $2 a day doubled between 1996 and 2011 to 1.46 million households with 2.8 million children.

Why did people stop posting stills and footage?
It's been like the three same threads for the past decade.
Why did people stop posting stills and footage?
It's been like the three same threads for the past decade.
IMO Arm chair QB'ing and lack of consideration for those who have taken the trouble to generously post here.
Unfortunately, I saw this coming when the footage started to come in..... and suggested we all be kind, here...
Oh well.
Hey I'm all for being kind. I just wanted to know what happened. It seemed like there was a quasi-flood when the cams first came out. Just excited to see more
I´d love to see more of the stuff, too. Espacially some edited and longer footage. Well, there will be more eventually...
i agree. too much armchair quarterbacking spoiled the fun.
I suspect the various Red owners are busy, y'know, working.....
Here we go again!
Patience, people, patience!
IMHO there's not a whole lot of reward for being the 5th or 10th person to put up your own ad-hoc camera test, that's sort of "been done" already. My guess would be that the current camera owners are busy trying for some return on their investment.
wait... so people asking for more footage resulted in less footage?
Explain your logic behind that.

The Best Things the Bon Appétit Staff Cooked This Summer
What we were dreading has finally happened: Summer is over. (Okay, technically, we've got a couple more weeks, but consider this: Today we wore a sweater.) And with it go barbecues, picnics, excuses to eat hot dogs, and a bounty of produce. But man, did we take the season by the horns this year. Our staffers cooked up incredible summer meals—from fried chicken to pickled carrots to fresh corn chowder—and we have the Instagrams to prove it.

Millville 450 Moto 1 Report
Saturday, July 14, 2012 | 3:20 PMAs round seven of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship embarked on Millville, Minnesota, the home town golden boy Ryan Dungey was riding the wave of an eight race win streak. The proverbial favorite at his home track, Dungey was looking to extend his already insurmountable points lead over Mike Alessi as the gate dropped for the first moto.
A first turn pile-up swallowed a number of riders, but it didn't seem to faze Jake Weimer, as the Idaho native grabbed the early lead. But it was short lived as Mike Alessi made an early charge and took over the top spot and began to put some distance between himself and the field. Meanwhile, points leader Ryan Dungey was working his way out of a hole after getting buried off the start.
But it didn't take long for Dungey to push his way toward the front. After disposing of Weimer, Dungey set his sights on Alessi. But Alessi wasn't going to make it easy on the championship leader. Using the entire track to hold off a charging Dungey, Alessi was doing everything possible to capture his first win of the season. But his efforts would prove futile as Dungey was just too much to handle.
The Dungey and Alessi battle for the lead allowed Weimer to close back in on the duo. Alessi, who used all of his energy trying to hold off Dungey, was unable to stop the bleeding and was quickly swallowed up by Weimer after relinquishing the lead to Dugney.
Dungey would run away with the moto win with Weimer and Alessi rounding out the podium. Justin Brayton used a late charge to hold off Andrew Short for fourth. Short would round out the top five.
Other Notes:
- Nick Wey suffered a huge crash in the sand whoops, which bizarrely ended with his bike landing in the creek that runs alongside the whoops. There is no word on the extent of his injuries at the moment
- Mike Brown and John Dowd, both of whom are in their 40's, scored their first points of the season. Brown would finish 18th, with Dowd one spot behind in 19th.
- Muscle Milk Honda's Tommy Hahn was impressive in his first race back from a broken finger, finishing in seventh.
- BTOSports.com Jimmy Albertson scored his first top ten of the season with a tenth in the first moto.
- Broc Tickle would also fall victim to the sand whoops. He crashed will running in fourth, but was able to rebound and finish just outside the top ten in 12th.
- Les Smith, who has had his share of bike troubles early in the season, scored his best finish of the season with his 11th in the first moto.

Yes the er open class wans good but I just saw Bagget mow down the er so called 250's I dont think they are Lights? Now that was one heck of a race. Wish ALISPORSTS could do al of the moto's!!!!!!!!!!!
I was amazed that Allesi held on as long as he did! I gues now woud be the time to bring out the "Belive the Hype" t-shirts.
Hey Billy Bob that was some purty good racing by golly. What happened to Mary Jane she left to get us some beer?? I guess she got lost????
Ya I saw that footage of Nick Wey endoing into the creek. I guess I shold sometime apoligize to Wyatt Seals for putting him in the pond at Tyler that day? Never saw you after I found out you ended up there? Heck I did not know till someone told me. Hey we were just a racing!
If you are out there it is funny now cause I know you were ok! Just thought about it when I saw Wey end up there. Hope he is OK?
450 class is boring too watch.
At least some guys are getting on the podium (TV time) that usually wouldn't if everyone was healthy.
What happened to Jamie Bestwick? Did he get canned for not kissing the media darling's butt?

From Golf Magazine (October, 2012)
Designed for: Low- and mid-handicappers
The multi-material Anser is engineered to deliver the feel and look of a forged blade with the forgiveness of a cavity-back iron. The club boasts a soft, forged 8620 carbon steel body with a 40-gram tungsten-nickel sole weight and hollow cavity inside the head. This combo shifts the center of gravity (CG) more rearward to increase inertia and to produce a higher ball flight than a traditional muscleback. Its hollow cavity also redirects impact stresses away from the face, to enhance feel. The rear cavity has "progressive support bars"—short-iron bars are taller, wider and more vertical to reduce vibration and create lower launch, whereas the long-iron bars are shorter, thinner and more horizontal to lower the CG for higher launch.

Eugene Freedman, on the case.
Another leak sprang from Major League Baseball the other day about its plan to suspend more than 20 players for alleged links to a reputed performance-enhancing drug distributor firm Biogenesis. This time, the news is that baseball will be ready to announce its suspensions shortly after the All-Star Game. Last column I discussed why the disciplinary case against players without a positive test would be difficult. This time I delve into the logistical aspects of the discipline cases. I hope to tackle baseball's proof requirements in my next piece.
...One might also wonder whether an arbitrator is likely to sustain some grievances and deny others in an effort to please and offend both parties, so as to retain employment. My experience is that arbitrators consider their integrity more important than almost anything else—it's their reputation that gets them their future appointments. A fair, impartial arbitrator who issues a well-reasoned decision and is terminated by the losing party is far more likely to be hired by others than someone who issues poorly reasoned decisions attempting to balance wins and losses.
Further, many of the arbitrators I have worked with enjoy telling their termination stories more than any others. Being fired is almost a badge of honor.
Finally it's important to note that arbitrator decisions almost never can be appealed. The U.S. Supreme Court has established deferral to arbitration for labor-management grievance cases under a collective bargaining agreement. That means that both parties must use the negotiated grievance arbitration process and cannot sue each other over these matters. And, they can appeal a decision only if it does not draw its essence from the collective bargaining agreement. Any appeal on that note would be frivolous given Horowitz's pedigree.
It's likely the clubs and the union are discussing these logistical aspects right now. But it's also possible that there will have to be a preliminary hearing arguing some of the procedural aspects before Horowitz even before the grievance hearing or hearings can be scheduled.

When I've been solo-parenting for a few days, I sometimes self-deprecatingly remark that I've kept the kids fed and clothed, and anything else is a bonus. But you know, even that much can be pretty hard. (Wearing a spider-man costume counts as clothed, right? Because that's how Mabel went to the playground yesterday. If her brother had tried to do that at a similar age, I would have put my foot down, unless it was within two days of Halloween. But that's second children for you - you've been beaten down and your personal goalposts shift a bit. Besides, I thought she looked cute.)
But I have the utmost respect for anyone who actually feeds children - especially their own - on a daily basis. I mean, people who do it properly, not the "throw some things out of the fridge and see who can catch them" technique I tend towards myself. Because tossing off "fed" as if it's a simple thing implies that children are like normal human beings in ways that mine - and yours? tell me it's not just mine - are not. Normal humans, mostly
- eat more than three different things.
- acknowledge when they're hungry rather than losing their mind in the loudest and most inconvenient way possible.
- are prepared to eat at mealtimes because that's when people eat, so that they won't be hungry later. Because later it will be not mealtime and you will be nowhere near food that is in any way nutritious or inexpensive, and you will then ruin whatever the next proper meal was supposed to be.
YES, I KNOW. Save your fingers. Put down the spacebar. If you do all that and it works, I'm so happy for you, and I'm sure if I did it right it would work for me too. (Except I'm not, but that's what you need to hear. Maybe it's just not in my nature to do it right.) It's okay. I'm not looking for advice today. I just want to whine, in a perhaps-slightly-amusing way. If you find it as hard as I do to keep your kids just damn well "fed," by all means leave me a comment commiserating, so we can all whine together.
My kids are growing. They're healthy and the doctor is not worried about them. I try not to feed them too much sugar, to keep them away from high-fructose corn syrup, to limit the juice. I try not to give them a complex about eating too much, or too little, but to educate them about foods and what's good and bad for their body.
It will all come out in the wash.
(That's a metaphor. I'll talk about my broken washing machine tomorrow.)

Slain is:
Ranjit Abraham (Vocals)
Bryden Lewis (Guitar)
Manek D'Silva (Guitar)
Naresh Nathan (Bass)
Jonathan Wesley (Keyboard)
Joe Jacob (Drums)
Slain is India's Answer to Progressive Rock.
We believe music should be loud enough to make you jump, smart enough to make you think, and inspiring enough to make a impact.
After winning every major national-level rock competition during it's formative years,, most notably October Fest 07, NLS Strawberry fields '07 (Bangalore), CBIT Carpe Diem 08 (Hyderabad), IITC Saarang 08 (Chennai), IITM Livewire 08 (Mumbai), Hornbill Rock Contest (Nagaland) and plenty others, the band gained sudden popularity and media attention: earning them headlining slots at dozens of college fests and major music events such as Rock 'n India 09, Bangalore Habba 07, Rock Ethos '08 & '09 eventually performing alongside international sensations like IRON MAIDEN, MR.BIG & MESHUGGAH on their tours of India. That's easily some of the biggest rock concerts India has ever witnessed, and Slain was part of them!
In late 2010, with over two hundred concerts across the country to their credit and 2 stellar releases, the 'Slain EP' in 2008 & 'Before Beyond' in 2009, both met with stellar reviews from fans and 'zines across the world, the band released their full-length debut album Here & Beyond at the unique event 'Beyond Live', a concept concert featuring Slain and The Concordia Choir, a group of Bangalore's finest young singers. This was the first time in India a metal band was accompanied by a complete classical choir- and indeed, it was a roaring success with a packed auditorium of 400 raving fans, covered by various local and national newspapers, supported by Radio Indigo FM and immediately aired on TV9.
Apart from Slain as a whole attracting countless laurels: each of the 6 individuals has gradually become a key figure in the music community and won several awards for their outstanding proficiency, most recently the Best Guitarist & Bassist at the 2010 Rollingstone Metal Awards, and Best Guitarist & Keyboarist at the 2010 JD Rock Awards. A star line-up of experienced musicians with diverse musical interests using top of the line equipment; this is precisely what gives Slain its soothing shifting flavour. Slain's popular anthem 'More than Conquerors' was also nominated as 'Song of the Year' at the JD Rock Awards 2010. The media have always been kind to Slain: with featured articles in acclaimed Indian Music magazines Rollingstone (Mumbai), Score (Chennai), RSJ (Rock street journal, Allahabad), and also in countless mainstream newspapers and websites. They've been invited for interviews and in-studio performances aired on television by News9 and on radio by Radio Indigo & Radio One(Bangalore). Metal Hammer UK, the largest selling metal music magazine in UK, in it's May 2010 issue recognized Slain as one of the top 10 bands in India!
Having found an impeccable balance between melody and energy, a sound that retains the class of Classic rock, while being driven by the virtuosic musicianship heard exclusively in Progressive Metal: Slain is often compared to the likes of Dream Theater, Symphony X & Angra. It's original, yet reminiscent, fresh yet memorable in every sense. Slain's success in the industry is a reflection of the band's pledge to perfection, in studio and on stage.
