* In European economic news, Germany ZEW economic sentiment index fell from 27.1 to 8.6 - the lowest level in 18 months and well below expectations. The ZEW current conditions index fell from 61.80 to 55.5. No surprise that the weakness was driven by the escalation of tensions between Russia and the West. News reports suggest a growing number of the 6,200 German firms active in Russia are warning about a hit to their business. The survey was based on 222 analysts and investors, and conducted between July 28 - August 11.
* European shares fell on Tuesday as weak German sentiment data added to concerns of a slowdown in the region. Consumer goods group Henkel (down 5.3%) warned earnings growth would slow in the second half of the year, partly because of the friction between Russia and Ukraine. The FTSEurofirst 300 index fell by 0.2% with the German Dax lost 1.2% and the UK FTSE closed mostly flat. Australia's major miners were mixed in London trade with shares in BHP Billiton down 0.5% while Rio Tinto rose 0.4%.
* US sharemarkets eased on Tuesday, pressured by a slide in energy shares and worries over the weakness in the Euro zone. Losses were broad with seven of the 10 S&P sectors weaker. The Dow Jones index fell by 9 points or 0.1% with the S&P 500 index down by 0.2% while the Nasdaq lost 12 points or 0.3%.
* US treasury prices were mixed as traders waited on upcoming auctions of a combined $40 billion of 10yr and 30yr notes later this week. US 2 year yields fell by 2 points to 0.44% while US 10 year yields rose by 1 point to 2.45%.
* The Euro and commodity currencies were mixed against the US dollar as traders continued to worry about the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on broader Euro zone growth. The Euro fell from highs near US$1.3370 to around US$1.3335 - a nine month low, before recovering and ending US trade near US$1.3365. The Aussie dollar rose from lows near US92.50c to highs near US92.75c, ending the US session near its highs. The Japanese yen traded in a tight range between 102.35 yen per US dollar to JPY102.10, ending US trade near JPY102.20.
* World oil prices fell on Tuesday. Brent fell to a 13-month low as increased OPEC oil production dampen concerns over supply disruptions in Iraq and Libya. OPEC output hit a five month high of 30.44 million barrels per day in July with a 300,000 bpd rise led by Saudi Arabia and Libya. Brent crude fell by US$1.55 or 1.5% to US$103.02 a barrel while the US Nymex price fell by US71 cents a barrel to US$97.37 a barrel.
* Base metal price were mostly higher in Monday with the exception of copper (down 0.4%). Zinc led the gains up 1.1%. Gold prices rose slightly on Tuesday with the Comex gold futures quote up by US10c to US$1,310.60 per ounce. Iron ore fell by US$1.30 on Tuesday or 1.4% to US$94.00 a tonne.
Ahead: In Australia, consumer confidence and wage price data for the June quarter are released. In the US, advanced retail sales and business inventories are released. Chinese retail sales, industrial production and fixed asset investment are scheduled.

The Jett Durango TV Series spin-off in Deadwood-style. Not for the meek nor the non-believers! Hollywood gives its rating and if you're not in this camp, leave now!
The White Horse Prophecy
the Nephilim have inhabited the earth, a rebel sect of angels
who come from a place of total darkness, demons, who try to lead the human race astray until the Final Judgment.
the White Horse Prophecy will commence to rid these Nephilim from Earth alluding to the Book of Enoch.
offspring who descended from Cain, and by breeding with Cainites produce the evil, wicked children.
the Powder River Jesus† forbids such a thing that angels should be found committing sin with human beings, the Serpent Seed.
the Powder River Jesus† confirms there are two distinct children present in the world until the end, Seth and Cain. the White Supremacist theology will burn, the Nephilim will destroy its evil race. Nephilim will be extreme casualties of War by Fire and the explosive likes of Fire
DOC HOLLIDAY is sitting at WYATT EARP'S faro table with LUCAS HORN and STONE TIREE playing cards. Lucas and Stone are Deadwood locals, both faro players and posse of Wyatt's.
DOC HOLLIDAY The priest launders counterfeit coins and baptises opium's unborn child. That woman was pregnant with his child. The White Horse Prophecy is upon us gentlemen. Wyatt, we are in attendance. Deputize me and let's ride to Durango.
STONE TIREE I'll throw in. That Son-of-Bitch killed her with a backstreet abortion in the middle of the night. She was just fourteen years old, goddammit!
DOC HOLLIDAY Wasn't the abortion that killed her—Daughters of Cain be damned in conscience of sin. The priest made sure to overdose her on opium in a vile cover-up to protect him. Let's get on over to Seth Bullock's hardware store and stock up on ammunition. Hew down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth.
Wyatt Earp deals a hand of faro.
WYATT EARP What right do we have to get involved, Doc?
AL SWEARENGEN, (40s) DARK HAIR, MUSTACHE, PATCH OF HAIR UNDER HIS LIP wearing his BLACK DUSTER, BLACK HAT and PISTOL, Deadwood's pimp, bully and saloon owner walks into the saloon agitated. He walks over to Wyatt's table.
AL SWEARENGEN Earp, fuckin' word is my opium is bein' fuckin' hijacked. Fuckin' drain of my poppy will be the death of those responsible. You're the fuckin' marshal, so start marshalin'.
WYATT EARP Swearengen, you're stealin' that opium from the Chinese to gain profit, round and round she goes. Who's the real pirate? Confucian disdain comes into play, hell your pirated opium may be being disposed of by dissolving it in water, salt and lime and dumped into the ocean.
AL SWEARENGEN A fuckin' train in Durango's a long way from the ocean, Earp! Now take your extraterritorial privileges and war horses to Durango and get my fuckin' opium headed in this fuckin' direction before I use my political alliances to shut down every fuckin' faro table in Deadwood. The Mafia cocksucker responsible will have his own fingers cut off and shoved down his fuckin' throat! Holliday, convince your boy here—you have twelve fuckin' hours to ride out of town before I close down the fuckin' tables.
Swearengen walks off. He turns around to the side and FIRES HIS PISTOL into the CEILING.
Customers rise from their seats startled.
DOC HOLLIDAY (takes a drink) That wasn't a diplomatic negotiation—it was a stupid misfire of organized crime. Now, gentlemen, shall we go over to Seth Bullock's and get that ammunition?
Wyatt is shuffling the cards.
WYATT EARP Extraterritoriality is the state of being exempt of jurisdiction from local law as I recall.
DOC HOLLIDAY Extraterritoriality was imposed upon China in the Treaty of Nanking from the first opium war. Wyatt, this is a case of extraterritoriality of the seizure of railways. Deputize me—I'm your huckleberry.
LUCAS HORN Sounds like a reckoning—the Last Judgment. If I didn't know you better, it sounds personal for you, Doc.
DOC HOLLIDAY The White Horse Prophecy is written text in The Powder River Hymnals. The wrath is personal, Horn.

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Medical History and Physical Exam for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
The most important steps in diagnosing juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are the medical history and physical exam. Your child's doctor may ask some of the following questions:
The physical exam generally is not painful and includes:
A history and physical exam are a routine part of the evaluation of joint pain and stiffness. JIA is diagnosed only after a careful physical exam and medical history.
During the physical exam, the doctor will note:
Using the above information, your doctor may be able to clarify the diagnosis and the type of JIA. In many cases, your child may have symptoms for up to 6 months before the type of arthritis is diagnosed.
The diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) requires ruling out other conditions. Information from the medical history and physical exam is very important to evaluate possible causes of symptoms and to select the best tests to rule out other conditions.

Academic Integrity and Community Standards
University Conduct
All University faculty, students, and staff are responsible for compliance with the rules of University Conduct. Copies of the full text are available in Essential Policies for the Columbia Community and at the Office of the University Senate, 406 Low Memorial Library.
Students in the School of General Studies are part of a wider intellectual and social community that holds itself to the highest standards of tolerance, respect, integrity, and civility. Students who violate the standards of the University community, in academic or social behavior, are subject to disciplinary action. The continuance of each student upon the rolls of the University, the receipt of academic credits, graduation, and the conferring of any degree or the granting of any certificate are strictly subject to the disciplinary powers of the University.
Disciplinary authority of the University is vested by the Trustees in the President and Provost and, subject to their reserved powers, in the dean of each faculty. The dean and his staff are given full responsibility for establishing the standards of behavior for all General Studies students beyond the regulations included in the Rules of University Conduct and for defining procedures by which discipline will be administered.
Civil Behavior and Community Standards
It is expected that in and out of the classroom, on and off campus, each student in the School will act in an honest way and will respect the rights of others. Freedom of expression is an essential part of University life, but it does not include intimidation, threats of violence, or the inducement of others to engage in violence or in conduct which harasses others. Conduct which threatens or harasses others because of their race, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or for any other reason is unacceptable and will be dealt with very severely. For all to benefit from the diversity to be found at Columbia, all must live up to these standards.
Honor Code and Honor Pledge
In 2013 the student councils of the undergraduate schools of Columbia University, on behalf of the whole student body, created an Honor Code to uphold the maintenance of academic integrity as a fundamental and jointly held responsibility for all students. The councils also created an Honor Pledge, which all students recite and affirm when they matriculate as Columbia students. The texts of the Honor Code and Honor Pledge may be found here.
Academic Integrity
It is essential to the academic integrity and vitality of this community that individuals do their own work and properly acknowledge the circumstances, ideas, sources, and assistance upon which that work is based. Academic honesty in class assignments, term papers, examinations, laboratory reports, and computer projects is expected of all students.
Because intellectual integrity is the hallmark of educational institutions, academic dishonesty is one of the most serious offenses that a student can commit at Columbia. It may be punishable by suspension or dismissal from the School and can result in loss of committee support for students who are preparing to apply to prehealth programs.
Students who are unsure about the proper presentation of their own independent work should consult with their instructor or advisor.
Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to the following:
- Plagiarism: Failure to cite or otherwise acknowledge ideas or phrases used in any paper, exercise, or project submitted in a course but gained from another source, such as a published text, another person's work, or materials on the Web.
- Self-plagiarism: The submission of one piece of work in more than one course without the explicit permission of the instructors involved.
- Misrepresentation of authorship: The submission of work as one's own which has been prepared by or purchased from another.
- Cheating on examinations or tests: To give or receive assistance from written material, another person, his or her paper, or any other source during an examination or test; to hire or attempt to hire someone to take your exam for you.
- Falsification or misrepresentation of information in coursework or lab work; on any application, petition, or forms submitted to the school.
- Fabrication of credentials in materials submitted as part of an admissions application or materials submitted to the University for administrative or academic review.
- Violating the limits of acceptable collaboration in coursework set by a faculty member or department.
- Removing, hiding, or altering library materials in order to hinder the research of other students.
- Facilitating academic dishonesty by enabling another to engage in such behavior.
- Lying to a faculty member, dean, or advisor about circumstances related to your academic work or failure to complete academic work.
Ignorance of the School's policy concerning academic dishonesty shall not be a defense in any disciplinary proceedings.
The School of General Studies holds each member of the community responsible for understanding these principles and abiding by them.
Disciplinary Charges
Columbia students, faculty members, or staff who have concerns or complaints about a student's behavior, including issues pertaining to academic integrity, are asked to contact the Dean of Students or the Office of Judicial Affairs to discuss the concern. Based on the conversation with the complainant, the Dean of Students, in consultation with the Office of Judicial Affairs, will determine whether or not the complaint warrants an informal meeting with the student or a formal disciplinary hearing. The Dean of Students will review the options and the procedures with the complainant. If a formal disciplinary hearing is to be held, the Dean of Students will forward the complaint to the Office of Judicial Affairs who will in turn contact the student, explain the procedure, and set up an appropriate time and place for the disciplinary hearing.
Disciplinary Hearing
A disciplinary hearing is held to discuss the allegations with the student, and when necessary, to determine appropriate sanctions. Present at the hearing are the charged student, a member of the Office of Judicial Affairs, and a dean from the School of General Studies. Students have the option of asking their Postbac Premed advisor to join them during the disciplinary hearing. On the strength of the evidence and the student's response, the Office of Judicial Affairs representative and the dean from the School of General Studies will reach a determination and notify the student of their decision after the hearing has concluded.
For students found guilty of academic dishonesty or misconduct, the sanctions range from warning to probation, suspension, or dismissal. Loss of eligibility for committee support may also be a consequence of a finding of guilt. Because the Office of Judicial Affairs wants to ensure that the disciplinary process is also an educational process, every effort is made to refer students to appropriate resources and support services that will help them learn from the experience. In cases of academic dishonesty, the disciplinary response is deliberately separate from the decision an instructor makes concerning how the breach of the academic contract affects a student's grade. If a student is found guilty of a second violation of University regulations, academic dishonesty, or inappropriate behavior, that student is, in most cases, dismissed. Students have the right to appeal the decision of the disciplinary committee. Appeals must be submitted in writing within the deadline given in the letter informing the student of the disciplinary action taken. Appeals must be addressed to the Dean of the School.
In general, under University policy and federal law, information about dean's disciplinary proceedings against a student is confidential and may not be disclosed to others.
Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment, and Gender-based Harassment Policies
For information on the procedures for handling such complaints, please refer to the Gender-Based Misconduct Policies for Students website.
If the alleged misconduct involves sexual discrimination, the complaint should be filed with the Associate Provost for Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action. To report an incident involving sexual assault, sexual harassment, or gender-based harassment, students should complete this form or contact Student Services for Gender-Based and Sexual Misconduct at 212-854-1717.
Informal Complaints Concerning Misconduct
An instructor, officer, staff member or student who chooses not to put a complaint in writing can instead make an informal complaint. In these cases, the Postbac Premed advisor usually discusses the matter with the student. In these situations, the student will receive a formal warning, which will be noted in the student's educational file, along with any recommendations made to the student. Such warnings will be taken into account if and when similar complaints are made in the future; a pattern of informal complaints can lead to formal disciplinary action.
Academic Complaints and Grievance Procedures
Occasionally students experience dissatisfaction with specific courses or instructors, find themselves in an untenable situation in a course due to an interaction with an instructor, or have an academic grievance. Columbia faculty hold themselves to the highest professional standards. The rights, duties, and obligations are delineated in the University Statutes and in the Faculty Handbook and can be found online.
Consistent with those duties and obligations, conduct that is grievable includes:
- failure to show appropriate respect in an instructional setting for the rights of others to hold opinions differing from their own;
- misuse of faculty authority to promote a political or social cause within an instructional setting;
- conduct in the classroom or another instructional setting that adversely affects the learning environment.
In such cases, students are advised to discuss their grievances with their GS advisors. Depending on the nature of the complaint, a student may be counseled to discuss the matter directly with the instructor, or with the director of undergraduate studies or chair of a given department or program. The School will direct a student to the appropriate office if the University has specific university-wide procedures that govern the matter. Links to those offices, resources and procedures are provided below. Students should raise any concerns not later than thirty days after the end of the semester in which the alleged misconduct took place. The School will make every effort to consider and address the student's complaint quickly, ordinarily within thirty days.
Advisors recognize and respect a student's need for confidentiality when discussing certain kinds of complaints, so students should make sure to bring up any concerns about confidentiality when speaking with their advisors about grievances. While advisors within the Office of the Dean of Students counsel students on appropriate avenues for addressing or resolving their complaints, and often can help to facilitate a resolution, students should understand that advisors are not in a position to arbitrate grievances. The Ombuds Office is an additional and alternative confidential source available to students to advise on various avenues of redress and can mediate a dispute, if both parties agree. Ombuds officers, however, do not have authority to adjudicate any complaint.
While resolutions are most often reached informally, formal procedures for addressing grievances do exist and in some cases may be the only way to adjudicate a particular complaint. Grievances related to faculty members outside the Arts & Sciences will be referred to the appropriate division or school within the University. Resolutions to complaints about academic assessments or grade disputes are usually handled informally (see Grade Appeals and Grade Changes); formal grievances about academic assessments are handled by the faculty within the appropriate department or program.
If a student believes that a faculty member has acted in an unprofessional manner, he or she should first speak with his or her advising dean, who will work with the student to review the claim, establish the substance of the complaint, and come to a decision about how best to address the concerns raised by the student. If appropriate, the advising dean will refer the student to the GS Senior Associate Dean of Academic Affairs who, working with relevant faculty, will investigate the case fully and attempt to resolve the matter. The dean will work with the student and the faculty to determine whether there has been a procedural breach and, if so, take immediate steps to formulate a remedy in consultation with the dean of the School of General Studies.
The grievance procedures available through the office of the Vice President for Arts and Sciences are intended to complement, not substitute for, the procedures available in each of the Schools, and they treat a considerably more limited range of issues. They are designed to address only those cases involving professional misconduct by a faculty member of Arts and Sciences in an instructional setting in which there were significant irregularities or errors in applying School procedures. Information on this process can be found on the website of the Office of the Executive Vice President for Arts and Sciences. If the instructor is not a member of the Arts and Sciences faculty, the advising dean will assist the student to identify the appropriate faculty and the right procedures. Each school has its own grievance procedures and they are posted on individual schools' websites.
If at any time a student believes the process is not working in a constructive or timely fashion, the student may always contact the Dean of the School of General Studies directly.
The University has alternate procedures to address other specific concerns:
- In situations involving allegations of discrimination and/or harassment, the complaint should consult the Student Policies on Discrimination and Harassment.
- In situations involving gender-based and sexual misconduct, students should consult the Gender-Based Misconduct Policies for Students
- In situations involving concern about scientific or scholarly misconduct, students should consult the Columbia University Institutional Policy on Misconduct in Research
- The policy on romantic relationships is outlined in the Consensual Romantic and Sexual Relationships Policies.
Ombuds Office
Students are also encouraged to seek advice regarding handling academic complaints at the Ombuds Office, a neutral and confidential resource for informal conflict resolution. For further information, contact the Ombuds Office: 660 Schermerhorn Extension; 212-854-1234; email@example.com

Arms deal witness list queried
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - There are "glaring omissions" from the list of witnesses to be called at next year's Seriti Commission of Inquiry into the arms deal, arms deal activist Terry Crawford Browne said on Wednesday.
"May I respectfully suggest that there are some glaring omissions from that list, including John Bredenkamp, Janet Charter (wife of Richard Charter), Thabo Mbeki, Alec Erwin and Trevor Manuel," Crawford-Browne said in a supplementary submission to the commission.
He also wanted to know why the companies BAE, Saab and the German frigate and submarine consortia were not being called.
He wanted to know why the commission rejected his request to subpoena former British prime minister Tony Blair when he was in South Africa in August 2012, arguing that the commission "forfeited an opportunity to interrogate and expose the involvement" of successive British governments, banks, arms companies and other syndicates by doing so.
Crawford-Browne believed the "three surviving ministers" - then deputy president Mbeki, then minister of trade and industry Erwin and then minister of finance Manuel, who comprised the Cabinet sub-committee that decided on the acquisitions, should be the first witnesses to testify at the public hearings.
He wanted Seriti to decide by March 2013 whether the arms deal was unconstitutional in terms of section 217 (1) and thus illegal.
Crawford-Browne is seeking to have the arms deal cancelled, and the money paid back to South Africa.
David Maynier, Patricia de Lille, Major General Hans Meiring, Colonel Johan du Plooy, Paul Hoffman, Crawford-Browne, Dr Richard Young, Gavin Woods, Andrew Woods, Andrew Feinstein, Paul Holden, Raenette Taljaard, and Fana Hlongwane were announced as witnesses on November 24.
Maynier is a Democratic Alliance MP and Du Plooy and Meiring are part of the Hawks.
Crawford-Browne, a retired banker, has spent years trying to get an independent inquiry into the arms deal established.
Feinstein is a former ANC MP.
Public hearings are to be held at the council chambers at the Sammy Marks Conference Centre in Pretoria between March 4 and May 31.
Seriti would be assisted by judges Willem van der Merwe and Francis Legodi.
The deal, which was initially estimated to cost R43 million, has dogged South Africa's politics since it was signed in 1999, after then Pan Africanist Congress MP Patricia de Lille raised allegations of corruption in Parliament.
Zuma himself was once charged with corruption after his financial adviser Schabir Shaik, who had a tender to supply part of the requirements, was found to have facilitated a bribe for him from a French arms company.
The charges against Zuma were later dropped. - Sapa

Mi familia y yo estaremos gustosos de recibirlos en nuestro hospedaje. Recibirán de nosotros orientación para adecuarse a la vida en Lima y contarán siempre con nuestro apoyo!
Tilsa has completed online and offline ID verification.
Do not rent a room from this family. They do not respect privacy and they do not meet their obligations as hosts. The home has no hot tub as listed, the washing machine has no hot water, they force residents to pay for cooking gas and then insist that we use too much electricity when heating foods, they enter the apartment and allow maintenance people to come in and out without proper notification. These people are rich, but they are very stingy and cheap. They refused to fumigate the apartment even though for weeks we were doing everything possible to stop the ants, mosquitoes, and fruitflies from infesting all of the living spaces. The worst part is that they forbid guests of all kinds, including visiting family members, and neglected to inform me of this until I arrived at check-in. They even had a huge anniversary party until 3AM with over 100 guests and they only told one of the six of us residents ahead of time. The toilet is subpar and the kitchen has no oven and no dishwasher. They refused to replace broken pots, pans, and utensils. There is no hot water in the kitchen at all. The bed was the smallest bed I have ever had in my life (smaller than a normal twin-sized bed) and the room was small too. The whole thing is overpriced, even for San Isidro. I would suggest Barranco or Miraflores (anywhere near the Metropolitano) because it provides a better social scene and can often be cheaper. The nearest supermarket is Tottus, a 15-20 minute walk, and this supermarket is bad. There are also few restaurants near this house. Even though it is a safe neighborhood, when you are coming home at night, it is typically deserted except for the Serenazgo security guards. If you are walking from the bus stop on Javier Prado or the Metropolitano from Javier Prado or Canaval y Moreyra, you can find yourself walking alone with no security guards and nobody else on the streets to witness any problems you might have. In general, this family has a bad attitude and has little concern for the responsibilities as landlord. They bought a brand-new Land Rover but refused to fumigate the apartment or purchase wall-outlet repellents or cooking gas or new kitchen supplies. These people sicken me, and there are so many nice people in Lima renting nicer apartments. Do not get taken advantage of by this family, I would not recommend their home to anybody.
Tilsa y Yahir son personas muy interesantes, educadas y con buena platica. Disfrutamos mucho su compañía y verlos interesados en mi cultura. 1000% recomendables. Julio y Céline :)
Tilsa es una persona muy agradable ,demostró mucho interés en conocer mi país y su historia.Fue una huésped tranquila amable y muy educada
I hosted Tilsa'a parents, Caesare and Sonia who were outstanding house guests that any host would desire to have. My experience, which included meeting Tilsa herself, was outstanding from start to finish.
Desde mi experiencia como huésped solo puedo decir que es un excelente servicio de hospedaje y definitivamente una muy buena opción de alojamiento para temporadas largas o cortas en Lima!!! Las instalaciones son muy cómodas y están totalmente equipadas, cuentas con todos los servicios incluidos a un muy buen precio y quedas ubicado en una de las mejores zonas de Lima con importantes y rápidas vías de acceso a todos los lugares de la ciudad. Pero lo más importante es que la familia anfitriona te brinda total acompañamiento y apoyo, y te hace sentir como en tu propia casa, claro está teniendo siempre la autonomía y la libertad que te da el vivir en un departamento (website hidden) gracias a Tilsa y a Los Petirrojos Student Housing, mi experiencia en Lima ha sido muy satisfactoria al hospedarme con ustedes!

Harry Tate (187201940), born Ronald McDonald Hutchison, assumed his stage name from the company Henry Tate & Sons, Sugar Refiners, for whom he worked before becoming a professional performer. He first appeared under it at the Oxford Music-Hall on 13 April 1895 when his early act consisted of sketches in which he mimicked music-hall stars of the day, using clip-on paper costumes to allow as many as forty-two changes in one act. He went on to develop various sketches based on middle-class leisure pursuits such as fishing, golfing and gardening which he performed with a small company.
Motoring,Tate's first great success, became hugely popular for his company on the music halls. It is a story about a father, an idiotic son in his Eton suit, and a chauffeur attempting to take the son back to school in a car that won't start. The son, originally played by Tommy Tweedley, a youth he found at the Liverpool Empire, sat in the back of the car making inane comments such as 'It's amazing, pa-pa', and 'Goodbye-eee'. 'Goodbye-eee' became Tate's best-known catchphrase and the inspiration for the popular World War I song.

The man behind the curtain has been revealed. Well, really, he came out from behind the curtain himself. As reported by Alexis Madrigal at The Atlantic, @MayorEmanuel is Dan Sinker, a journalism instructor at Columbia College in Chicago, and one of the founders and editors of the zine Punk Planet.
Having myself waxed rapturous over the @MayorEmanuel tweet stream, I can't help but feel a little disappointed that the mystery is no longer a mystery. I'm not nearly as disappointed as Jim DeRogatis is, because, hey, that Twitter account was a brilliant, engrossing, and uplifting example of a new form of literature, accidental as that might have been, and its author has every right to reap the benefits of his achievement. My disappointment is more that of a fan for whom part of the thrill was the not knowing, and the hope that we would never know. Did you honestly want to know for certain whether or not that top in Inception was ever going to stop spinning? I didn't.
But to be pragmatic, it was probably better that Dan Sinker control the revelation than that someone else out him, which no doubt would have happened sooner or later. And at least now we know whom to nominate for that Hugo next year in the Best Related Work category. (Hey, Chicago in 2012!)
Hats off, Mr. Sinker. As your character wrote: "Only things that fucking suck never end: look at laundry, or dishes."
I had been meaning to do this anyway, but here's a selection of some of my favorite @MayorEmanuel tweets, selected by the very scientific method of searching my own tweet stream for the nuggets I retweeted over the past few months. I've provided a bit of context where necessary.

This can only give a bit of the flavor of the feed, if you haven't followed it. For two good distillations of the story's climax, I still recommend you read Tim Carmody's "The Two Mayors" and "The Last Hours of @MayorEmanuel."

My friend works for the corporate office of Limited Brands and nearly bought half a store when they had one of their sample sales. She gave me a few tops and this sweater was in the bunch. There was a small piece cut out of the back, so I cropped the sweater and added a strip of ribbed knit that I had. I did not want it to look too athletic, so I only used one layer. The hem is unfinished. Any ideas on how to keep it from rolling up?

A few days ago, a friend and I were discussing the venerable Tim Rogers, an opinionated games writer if ever there was one. Here's the fun thing about Rogers, though: If you were to shuffle one of his reviews in with those of ten other game reviewers, his piece would stand out like the Batman in daylight, foremost for one obvious reason -- it'd be really, really long. Rogers meanders all over the place, delving into each aspect of a game, as well as many things seemingly unrelated, which he then acknowledges as seemingly unrelated. Sometimes, after noticing that 15 minutes have ticked away from your life and your web browser's scroll bar thing is only half-way down the page, you just wish he'd get to the point.
Rogers, as far as game reviewers go, is an anomaly. People don't want a novel; they want pros, cons, and a numerical score, because they'd rather be dashing someone's virtual brains against the pavement than learning. So I guess it kind of makes sense that games generally exist on the flipside of that reviewing stereotype.
Take, for instance, Resident Evil. Find the red lion, blue tiger, and green goat to form a key so that you can crank open the Voltron door. Sure, your gun-toting pyromaniac of a hero probably could've written a book titled "101 Ways To Pop A Door Off Its Hinges," but where's the fun in that?
Oddly, even though we constantly quip about padded-out sequences or pointless sidequests in our favorite games, we sound the sirens on the whaaambulance when those elements finally take a hint.
So which do you want? Games that toss in chores and fetch quests in exchange for that ever so marketable "60 hours of gameplay!" bullet point, or masterfully designed experiences -- like Portal -- that leave you hungry for more?
Well, today's Roundup, described by some as a "masterfully designed experience -- like Portal -- that leaves you hungry for more," hopes to satisfy all comers. Caged within, you'll find stories about a bill of rights for PC gamers, a new race for StarCraft II, and free gas! You heard me -- free gas! It's all after the break.
"As an industry, we need to begin setting some basic, common sense standards that reward PC gamers for purchasing our games," stated Brad Wardell, president and CEO of Stardock Corporation. "The console market effectively already has something like this in that its games have to go through the platform maker such as Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony. But on the PC, publishers can release games that are scarcely completed, poorly supported, and full of intrusive copy protection and then be stuck on it."
It's a fairly sound list, and I'd love to see other publishers adhere to it.
You know, if Microsoft would actually throw some weight behind Games For Windows, maybe it'd have the power to leverage something like this on a larger stage.
But then, Microsoft will only give GFW a cash infusion once the PC becomes an industry darling again -- possibly as a result of this bill of rights.
"If you look at Demigod, it's still wildly state of the art -- in our trailer, people asked if that was prerendered or from the game, [and] it's all in-game. But it's scalable; there's level of detail [adjustment]," said Gas Powered Games' Chris Taylor.
He pointed to the latest influx of gamers as inspiration for his new movement.
"We go from 10 million and 20 million people to 200 million people. Where were those 180 million people? They were there all along, waiting patiently, so they could join the fun. Now we have no excuses, we have to recognize that."
In WoW's wake, many publishers have decided that subscription-based games are the PC's only hope. Really though, I think Taylor has latched onto a very underrated aspect of WoW's design. It's playable on most every system, kind of like a -- wait for it -- console game. Of course, there are limits to these things; don't fear that you'll soon be choosing between high, medium, low, and Zork settings in your favorite games, but do support devs who create truly scalable titles. They bring fresh blood into the industry, and they're easier on your wallet. Win-win.
"Gearbox is really excited about the changes we've made to our Platform department in-line with finishing Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway in order for our platform engineers to support the multi-platform launches of Aliens: Colonial Marines, Borderlands and an un-announced big-ticket game."
So obviously, Gearbox's "big-ticket" title can't be Halo 4. Why? Because Halo isn't multiplatform.
Any ideas about what it might be?
Don't expect Wrath of the Lich King, though, folks. You'll probably get your money's worth out of these upgrades, but with expansion #1 clocking in at $9.95, don't expect any earth-shattering changes. The expansion, titled "Entrenchment," launches in December.
"We don't have the resources or time to add a fourth race to the launch of StarCraft II, but I'm sure in the event that we decide to do an expansion set it's a feature that'll come up for discussion," the company boss told VG247.
Amazonian women? Space pirates? What sci-fi cliche will StarCraft mine next?
Think they'll notice if I get back line?

Atlantic Bedding and Furniture-CharlotteRead MoreAtlantic Bedding and Furniture showrooms speckle the Southeast, each one a treasure-trove of fine furniture and top-brand mattresses. Attentive staffers bustle past collections of leather couches and arrangements of dark-wood dining sets, eager to assist customers in their quest to find a memory-foam mattress that best suits their sleeping habits or a rug that best covers up the dungeon trapdoor in their living room. If an item is out of stock, the attendants can have it shipped directly from the company's central warehouse—a cavernous storeroom packed with furniture from top vendors like Coaster, Sealy, and Lifestyle Solutions. Much of the furniture is available online, enabling customers to shop from the comfort of home.497 La Mesa RoadMount Pleasant, SC US
Havens Fine FramingRead MoreBrent Havens established Havens Picture Framing in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, in 1980 and have expanded in size twice since then.1070 Johnnie Dodds BlvdMount Pleasant, SC US

The affable staff can cleanse barbecue-sauce-stained dresses ($11.25), wash donut jelly from suits ($11.85), remove clingy suitors from sweaters ($6.45), and spiff up garments of all varieties. After their laundered raiment is delivered, customers can flaunt crisp pants ($5.65) and fresh-smelling ties ($11.25) on the red carpet at a nearby rug store. Prices may vary for clothing that is made of unusual material or has been stored in a hollowed-out gourd.620 Long Point RdMount Pleasant, SC US
Teak HutRead MoreThe Teak Hut's expansive array of durable wood furniture presents a beautiful alternative to traditional room fillers and patio paraphernalia. Each of the more than 100 available pieces is solid teak wood, which can survive for more than 25 years and features a naturally high oil content that helps it resist cracking, splitting, and rotting. Sate melanin-craving skins while standing on a sun-chaise lounge ($349) or gaze across patio kingdoms from a bucket-seated Adirondack ($269). A 24-inch bar table ($249) with matching chairs ($149 each) is a perfect excuse to take a pinochle game outside, where shuffling cards is less likely to break lamps or china. For possessors of two or more posteriors, a selection of benches and porch swings lend a natural-hued elegance to opinion-airing sessions (starting at $209 and $259 respectively).433 W Coleman BlvdMt Pleasant, SC US
Brick by BrickRead MoreAt Brick by Brick, owners Kendra and Matthew Randall have developed programs for all ages around the customizable world of Lego models, encouraging kids to hone their STEM skills—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—through imaginative building projects. By guiding students through hands-on construction work, they and their staff of certified teachers convey concepts that range from simple counting to the physics of a pulley system. All curriculums are centered around age-appropriate activities. Sessions for 2- to 4-year-olds are designed to hone motor skills by stacking large foam blocks. From there, classes steadily progress in complexity: 5- to 7-year-olds begin working with rolling vehicles, whereas 8- to 10-year-olds can motorize their models. The most advanced lesson focuses on computer-guided robotics, and tasks groups with creating a robot that can navigate a maze or packed middle-school dance floor on its own. Weeklong summer camps also result in creations that adhere to a motif. Under the Sea participants undertake marine-themed projects, and burgeoning directors compose a short film to conclude Stop Motion Animation Movie Making Camp. In addition to hosting their onsite sessions, birthday parties, and open-play hours, Brick by Brick instructors travel to more than 40 area schools to lead enrichment programs. These visits still adhere to the business's central philosophy of teamwork, imagination, and analytical thinking, a framework backed by Matt's career as a professional engineer.616 Long Point RdMt Pleasant, SC US

While technicians spray outside, kids can stay inside and enjoy The Adventures of Dread Skeeter coloring book that chronicles Dread's ongoing struggle against flying disease spreaders, from the common mosquito to the flying squirrel with contagious hiccups. Additionally, Mosquito Squad's antidisease efforts extend overseas through its ongoing efforts to eradicate malaria in Africa through their support of Malaria No More.1416 Walking Trail CourtMount Pleasant, SC US

African Lounge West
The African Lounge is a reception room for dignitaries, donated to the Kennedy Center by the nations of Africa. It is located on the box tier of the Opera House, opposite the South Opera Lounge. The design of the Lounge, with its jagged ceilings and slanted walls, is meant to evoke the feeling of being in an African village. The burgundy-brown carpeting was specially chosen to convey the richness of the African soil.
One of the most striking objects in the room is a wooden sculpture, Mother Earth, Condolences to You from Ghana. She represents the Africans' grief over the death of President Kennedy. At the back left hand corner of the Lounge is set of double doors depicting native village scenes. The doors are 12 feet high and were carved from one 700 year old tree.

Lacrosse gets boost from Marquette
Area university becomes first in state to adopt sport on NCAA level, bringing benefit to area club programs
As one of the hotspots on the state's growing lacrosse map, Waukesha County was given a boost Thursday when Marquette University announced it was adopting the sports of men's and women's lacrosse into the athletics program.
Both teams will begin play in the spring of 2013. Count Waukesha's Laurie Belmer among those excited about it.
"This will be our first NCAA team in Wisconsin, and that definitely puts us on the map," said the founder of the Waukesha Lacrosse Club for area boys. "The first thing my son said was, 'Mom, we have to go get season tickets because Syracuse will be playing at Marquette."
Many area players have gravitated toward Syracuse as a favorite team, and with good reason - the Orange won national titles in 2008 and 2009, and Notre Dame finished as runner-up this past season. Both are members of the Big East Conference, to which Marquette belongs.
Other conference schools sponsoring the sport already include Cincinnati (women only), Connecticut (women only), Georgetown, Notre Dame, Louisville (women only), Providence (men only), Rutgers, St. John's (men only), Syracuse and Villanova. Loyola-Maryland also sponsor's a women's team and is an associate member of the conference.
Marquette will become the first Division 1 university in the state to offer the sport and just the third in the five-state region of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin - joining Notre Dame and Detroit.
"Lacrosse is a thrilling sport, loved by fans and participants, and a natural fit for Marquette," said MU athletics director Steve Cottingham in a university release. "The national growth of lacrosse and Marquette's membership in the Big East make this exactly the right time for us to move forward with lacrosse as a varsity sport at Marquette. We are confident we can build programs that compete successfully at the national level."
Belmer began the Waukesha-area club four years ago, and the high school club will head into its fourth season missing a couple co-op contributors. Mukwonago spun off from the unit to form its own team last year, and Catholic Memorial is doing the same this year, leaving the Waukesha team drawing from the three public high schools.
That's a good thing, as Belmer and other lacrosse enthusiasts hope to drive up school participation across the state. Roughly 20 to 25 more schools need to sponsor the sport to reach the requisite 10 percent of membership that would compel the WIAA to recognize lacrosse.
"Hopefully it will be able to adopt lacrosse sooner than later," Belmer said, adding that the Waukesha high schools will take over the sport in 2012 as a school-sponsored co-op, much like the current Waukesha Wings hockey program.
"The biggest challenge has been getting school adoption, places to play and getting coaches," Belmer said. "The players were easy to get. Our field space was our No. 1 difficulty. Getting qualified coaches is tough, but we train most of our coaches. There are some who have played Division 3 lacrosse."
Belmer said the move at Marquette is especially helpful to the girls sport, which doesn't possess the same youth network that the boys have. Belmer's operation includes teams beginning in fifth grade.
"I've had 100 percent returning players for the last couple years," she said. "We don't have people drop out, which makes it really exciting. It's been a really good experience and positive for everyone."

The saga of beleaguered waste management company Biffa was finally brought to an end last week with the agreement of a debt-for-equity swap. Such a classic tale of an over-leveraged private equity deal going sour is, as ever, popular with the papers, but how did things get so bad at Biffa?
Montagu Private Equity and Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) bought Biffa back in May 2008, at the height of the buyout boom and just months before the global economic meltdown that proceeded the collapse of Lehman Brothers. It's thought the business was bought for around £1.7bn, using a £1.1bn debt package. At around 65% leverage, the debt element of the deal was not particularly notable – it was not unusual to see 75% leveraged deals at the time – though it may seem high by today's standards.
The recession took its toll of course, though it might not have been initially obvious how Biffa would be affected by the state of the economy. After all, waste is produced and still needs to be dealt with regardless of recession, and one would expect a business in this field to be more resilient to macroeconomic factors than, for example, a retailer or car manufacturer.
However, Biffa didn't bank on one major development, its customers seeking to reduce the amount of waste they produce. For many firms struggling in the new economic reality, aggressive cost-cutting was the name of the game, and reducing the amount of waste produced not only reduced the amount of money spent on waste management but also helped firms to comply with green legislation.
Recycling has also been a problem for Biffa. The firm could have led the way in Britain given it already had a major presence in the UK waste management business. Montagu and GIP certainly tried to push the business in this direction, acquiring recycling specialist Greenstar UK in the summer of 2010. However, many industry commentators say Biffa was too late to the party, and remained too reliant on its landfill operations, which are becoming increasingly expensive to maintain as the UK government imposes ever stricter regulations.
Of course, while the above issues certainly didn't help Biffa, its crippling debt was proving highly detrimental to the business. With revenues of around £1bn, its £1.1bn debt package was simply unsustainable. The debt-for-equity swap will see its total debt reduced by around 55% to a more manageable £520m, alongside a £75m cash injection from senior lenders Angelo Gordon & Co, Avenue Capital Group, Babson Capital Europe and Sankaty Advisors. The business remains profitable and the debt writedown should aid its recovery. Nontheless, it remains a reminder of how a short-sighted leveraged buyout can sometimes be crippling for a business.
