Hi all.
The last piece in the puzzle for upgrading my Swift is rim choice. Not a huge choice out there for light, narrow 406 rims it seems. Mostly, I'm finding Alex DA-16's and I'm wondering if anyone here has any opinions or experiences to offer.
Anything else I should be looking at ?
FWIW, I'm in the UK, and need a 32 hole rim.

If the application requires you to store history, you don't have many options besides storing history. Before you go too far down this road, you really need a copy of "Developing Time-Oriented Database Applications in SQL", by Richard Snodgrass.

33 insurers to compete for spots in state-run health exchange
More than 30 health insurers are expected to seek spots in California's state-run health insurance exchange, vying for the opportunity to sell policies to up to 4 million new health insurance consumers.
Some of California's largest insurers, including Kaiser Permanente, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California and Health Net, have all demonstrated interest in selling plans through the exchange, known as Covered California, reported the Los Angeles Times.
Most of the insurers intend to sell in regional markets, with five indicating they want to sell policies statewide, the Sacramento Bee reported. Almost 15 insurers may place bids for the Los Angeles area, and about 20 plans could bid for the San Francisco market.
"There will be a lot of competition and interest, which will enable the exchange to be an active purchaser in every region and pick the best five or six plans," Peter Lee, executive director of the California exchange, told the Times. "The plans we will be offering in San Diego will be very different from the set of plans in Sacramento or Los Angeles."
Exchange officials are expected to choose which insurers can sell on the online marketplace by June, the Times noted.

text: Fortune favours the bold. Boldness has been in short supply in 2012, except in protest politics and on celluloid. It visited the government only intermittently. But where boldness did not venture at all last year was the private corporate sector. Its contribution to fixed capital formation last year has fallen to a recent low. Unless this changes, the economy cannot grow. Industry tends to blame high interest rates. The fact is that industry has, in the past, for example, the mid-nineties, invested aggressively when interest rates were much higher. And the world is awash in liquidity, waiting to be channelled into profitable investment by credible entrepreneurs. Subjective diffidence and dither play a major role in industry's abstinence. These must be shed for the new year to turn glad. Project clearance, of course, is in the government's court. Now that the cabinet committee on investment has been formed, some streamlining of process and accountability should wake up civil servants who had huddled into hibernation after the CAG showed its power to summon ghosts from the dead past to haunt even retired babus. Once projects are cleared, industry should make investment happen. True, releasing land is a problem and the land acquisition law is still a work in progress. But nothing prevents industry from deploying imagination and inventiveness to devise new forms of stakeholdership for those who lose land and livelihood. Projects would take off and the prosperity that results would be shared.

Dancing With The Stars Recap: Sambas, Rumbas, Memories, and Tears
April 02, 2012 07:03 PM by Candace Young
Last week on ABC's Dancing With The Stars, contestant Martina Navritalova's quest for the Mirror Ball Trophy came to an early end as she was the first to leave the competition. This week, the remaining dancers will tell their most memorable stories as they work to impress judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno Tonioli, as well as America…
After hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke Charvet have announced the remaining 11 stars and their professional dance partners, it's time for the first couple hits the dance floor on Dancing With The Stars.
Jack Wagner and Anna Trebunskaya will dance the samba tonight. Jack shares his story about being reunited with the 18 year-old daughter he never knew he had last year at a concert in Florida. It's very emotional and Jack cries reminiscing. He says his song tonight is one his daughter, Kerry, loved that night. Jack flaunts and flips around the stage – great rhythm, great dance! Len says it was his best dance! Bruno compliments his timing and rhythm – loves it! Carrie Ann agrees. All three judges give them '8′s, for a total of '24'.
Maria Menounos and Derek Hough are up next. Maria looks back on her tough childhood and talks about how hard her parents had to work to keep food on the table. She and Derek will perform the rumba tonight to Material Girl, a song which inspired her when she was young and struggling. It's slowed-down, elegant, and subtly sexy – lookin' good! Bruno says he felt it and comments on the fluidity. Carrie Ann says she is an exquisite dancer – breathtaking. Len calls it a mix of ballroom with a bit of bedroom – a tiny bit hesitant, but fabulous. All three judges award '9′s for a total of '27'!
Gladys Knight and her partner Tristan MacManus took some criticism from Len last week. This week, Gladys reminisces about meeting Sam Cook and getting advice from him. They will dance the foxtrot to a Sam Cook song tonight. It's an adorable routine with Gladys looking and dancing like a girl in a beautiful pink gown. Carrie Ann saw an improvement in her frame – it was sensuous, soulful, and beautiful. Len admires her dedication and improvement and asks to be a Pip! Bruno says she was absolutely gorgeous out there! All three judges give them '8′s, for a total of '24'.
Roshon Fegan and Chelsea Hightower are next to dance live on Dancing With the Stars. They will be doing the samba to a Jackson 5 tune. Roshon recalls seeing Michael Jackson for the first time when he was only 6, and emulating him. Michael Jackson's choreographer, Travis, is brought in to help in rehearsal. The pair perform an upbeat routine in seventies inspired costumes. It's fun and fantastic! Len liked the flair. He would have liked to see some more traditional samba in there, but approves. Bruno hollers that Michael Jackson would have loved it! Carrie Ann agrees with Len a little bit – the Michael Jackson transitions threw him off a bit, but she liked the tribute. All three judges award '8′s, for a total of '24'.
Gavin DeGraw and Karina Smirnoff, who were in the bottom two last week, will perform a rumba to a Billy Joel song this time around. Gavin talks about knowing he wanted to be a singer after seeing Billy in concert, and the support he received from his family – his father would even go door-to-door promoting him. They dance an elegant and impressive routine to New York State of Mind. Bruno crows that he has hips and can move 'em! He warns him to work on his turns, but says he's getting better all the time. Carrie Ann agrees about the turns, but says her heart is all fluttery for Gavin! Len says he saw good hips, more musicality through the arms – he sees progression! Gavin cries after when asked how he feels about his family watching. Each of the judges give an '8′, for a total of '24'.
Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas will do a waltz to a song that is significant to her regarding the passing of her father. She tells the story of how she and her sister were called from school to say goodbye to him in hospice. Their dance is elegant and absolutely beautiful to watch. Katherine breaks down as they conclude. Carrie Ann is also crying, and tells her it was magical – her father was looking down on her. Len says it was elegant, but points out there wasn't enough ballroom hold in it. The bottom line is that she's a wonderful dancer. Bruno shouts, "Sensational!" Carrie Ann and Bruno award '10′s and Len gives a '9′, for a total of '29'!
Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkovskiy will do a rumba in honor of Sherri's son, Jeffrey, tonight on Dancing With The Stars. Sherri talks about him being born prematurely and says that he is a miracle. Jeffrey, is brought in by Val when Sherri struggles in rehearsal. Their rumba is a pleasure to watch – it flows and is heartfelt. Len thought she did a great job – well done! Bruno says, "Mama can move!" He says it was very well expressed. Carrie Ann says Sherri is true to herself. All three judges award '8′s, for a total of '24'.
Melissa Gilbert and Maks Chmerkovskiy will do a jive to The Dog Days Are Over tonight. She recalls how she fell in 2010 and went into surgery worried that she wouldn't be able to walk again. She feels it's astounding that she is on Dancing With the Stars now. It's an energetic and aggressive routine with lots of attitude. Bruno says the beginning and the end were great! Carrie Ann saw no nerves tonight and loved it! Len says Melissa has come into the competition – congratulations! All three judges give '8′s, for a total of '24'.
Jaleel White and Kym Johnson are doing the rumba tonight. Jaleel reminisces about becoming well-known while playing Urkel and how his life changed. Their rumba is sexy and Jaleel comes across very suave. Carrie Ann says they slid through it like nobody's business. Len says found it a little stiff in the arms. Bruno says he played cool and smooth, but agrees with Len's assessment about the arms. Jaleel cries after about how much he enjoys entertaining people. Carrie Ann gives a '9′ and Len and Bruno give '8′s, for a total of '25'.
William Levy and Cheryl Burke are doing a salsa tonight in tribute to how he felt coming to the United States. He describes how you have no future in Cuba, and talks about his first encounter with American ice cream! Cheryl wastes no time in delivering the skin promised last week as she rips William's shirt open to kick things off. It's a steamy salsa and the crowd goes wild! Len says it was loose – he conquered the salsa! Bruno beckons William closer and hollers that it was amazing! Carrie Ann says it was ridiculously hot! She points out that there was one issue, but then really doesn't seem to care! Carrie Ann and Len give '9′s and Bruno gives a '10′, for a total of '28'.
Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd are tackling the rumba tonight. He recalls how his best friend passed away in his arms in 2010. He has chosen a song that speaks to him about this tragedy. The performance is breathtaking! Carrie Ann is crying and tells him the passion he just expressed was mesmerizing. Len says he danced with warmth and emotion – a top notch performance. Bruno says he pushes himself to the limit every time – he thinks this could turn out to be the battle of the hunks! Carrie Ann and Bruno award '9′s and Len an '8′, for a total of '26'.
It was such an emotional, tear-jerker of a night on Dancing With the Stars – very moving performances and stories. Which star do you think had the most moving performance?

30 year old woman | Boston, MA, United States | Seeking men 26-33 within 50 miles
I'm a Boston girl, born & raised...
I'm a half glass full kind of person. I don't care for people who complain or try to see the bad in everything. During my free time I like to be with my family and friends. I am family oriented. I have a godson who is 3 years old and a niece who is a couple of months old and enjoy spending time with them whenever I have a chance. I also have a small group of close friends that I like to go out to dinner with or have drinks whenever our schedules permit. I enjoy making people laugh and my friends think I'm funny. I have a passion for learning, I wouldn't mind taking classes just to continue learning. I am interested in most topics except history so if you feel you can teach me something, I'm all ears. I'm pretty girly and not into sports, but I do enjoy going to Red Sox games whenever I get the chance. Seeing games live vs. watching them on TV are much more interesting to me. I am pretty ambitious and won't stop at any length to achieve my goals. As far as someone I'd date, sense of humor is a must. What's life if you can't laugh about it? I'm interested in dating the old fashion way so if you're on here to "just have fun" I'm not your girl. I'm looking for a guy who knows what he wants in life and isn't afraid to go after it. Being confident and comfortable in your own skin is an attractive quality in my eyes. I'm going to lay out my top dislikes so it won't be a surprise: I don't dance at all, like ever. Clubbing is not my scene. I also loathe seafood.
Business networking , Dining out , Shopping/Antiques , Volunteering
Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.

I have a tendency to listen to lots of genres of music, right now my favorite artist would have to be Taylor Swift. My favorite food is peanut butter! I couldn't live a day without it.
Going out to eat, Red Sox games, I love being around the water, staying in.

The equity markets have amply rewarded investors over the past year. But, as geopolitical tensions plague countries in North Africa and the Middle East—helping push oil prices to triple digits—many investors may be wondering if the rally is coming to an end.
BNN gathers a group of top portfolio managers and money managers for a closer look at what's in store for equities in the coming year.
"We see the market continuing to move higher," says Alec Young, international equity strategist, Standard & Poor's. Young says he's focusing on, "industrials, technology and materials."
"These sectors are all deriving at least 40 percent of revenues from overseas…we're overweighting cyclicals and underweighting defensive sectors."
Young says it's easy to see what's behind the tear in equity markets: China.
"The whole world has become a leverage China play," he says.

Summary:Four girls who attend the same school without really knowing, or more importantly, without really wanting to know each other, are thrown together one day when an enigmatic, female drifter enters their school and their lives. Brash and gutsy Legs Sadovsky crashes into their biology class just to get out of the rain. Later, when Legs discovers that one of the girls is being sexually harassed by her teacher, she encourages them to teach him a lesson he will never forget. Punished for standing up for themselves, the girls unite, forming a bond that transforms each of them forever. Together they rebel against the system and make a bold statement about modern female relationships and empowerment.

Senate leadership, including respective heads of the Senate Judiciary Committee, will meet with President Obama on Wednesday to discuss the outlines and timing of the upcoming Supreme Court nomination and confirmation process.
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), told the Huffington Post on Tuesday that he will be swinging by 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue tomorrow with Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Ranking Judiciary member Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.)
The president, Leahy said, "is going to get our advice on the Supreme Court, and if we have any names we'd like to suggest to him. He did this before with Justice Sotomayor. But since I've been here -- most certainly since I've been either chairman or ranking member -- every president, Republican or Democrat, has done it that way."
On the docket, specifically, will be discussion on the confirmation schedule for the nominee to replace retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. "I'm going to argue the sooner the better because we want to get it done before the August recessk, if possible, so they can get settled in," said Leahy.
"I think the best precedent for time, because this is [to replace] Justice Stevens, would be his amount of time [for confirmation]: two and a half weeks," the senator added. "But I have a feeling that might not be acceptable. So I would say we had a Republican and a Democrat in exactly the same amount of time -- Justice Roberts and Justice Sotomayor -- so I think that's what it's going to be, roughly that."
In addition, an administration official tells the Huffington Post, the group will likely discuss their preferences for nominees, what judicial issues they think will be relevant to the confirmation proceedings, and a timeline for when an actual nominee will be named. A meeting with remaining members of the Judiciary Committee is expected to take place sometime following Wednesday's gathering.

Is the cape bike friendly? And recomendations for where to go and such?

Published in Company Comment on 18 July 2012
Mega-miner BHP Billiton (LSE: BLT) reports a 12th consecutive year of record iron ore production.
BHP Billiton (LSE: BLT) updated the market on its latest production figures today with a pretty strong performance across the board. The highlight was iron ore, which accounts for about half of the mining giant's profit. Here, BHP Billiton reported record production for the twelfth consecutive year.
Iron ore production came to 159.5m tonnes in total, up an impressive 19% on last year's performance, thanks to a new processing facility and investment in rail and sea distribution facilities. A further 5% production increase is expected in the coming year but, like its rival Rio Tinto (LSE: RIO), BHP Billiton has big plans to expand its production of iron ore over the long term.
BHP's second largest division is now oil and gas, where it has recently bulked up by spending $20bn on acquiring Petrohawk and some assets from Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK.US). These acquisitions led to a 40% overall increase in production levels, although worries persist about the low level of natural gas prices in the US, given the huge investment BHP has made in this area.
BHP's third and fourth largest divisions are base metals and coal. Although, there was a small decrease in base metal production, there was a similar-sized increase in coal.
There was little to surprise investors overall in this release, so BHP shares were largely unchanged this morning, slipping just 0.5% to 1,775p.
Thanks to lower commodity prices, BHP is expected to report a drop in profits when it releases its full-year results on 22 August. Post tax earnings are forecast to drop from $23bn last year to around $18bn, putting the shares on a price-to-earnings ratio of around 8.5 times, with a dividend yield project to be around 4%.

I've learned the hard way recently that a windproof glove makes a world of difference. Being that the tips of my fingers are still tingling from a ride 3 days ago, I'm in the market for a pair of gloves. I was wearing a pair of sugoi gloves, that alas, I found out later that it does not pass the blow test (blow against your finger, make sure the air does not penetrate). Assos seems to make a nice line of lobster gloves that looks promising, but perhaps I can find something a cheaper pair that some of you might kindly vouch for/recommend. Perhaps a pair of wool gloves and a windproof shell on top?
I've also come across the Moose Mitts online as well, but looks a bit cumbersome to bike around with

The Mississippi River Commission (MRC) was established by an Act of Congress on June 28, 1879. Congress charged the MRC with the mission to develop plans to improve the condition of the Mississippi River, foster navigation, promote commerce, and prevent destructive floods—perhaps the most difficult and complex engineering problem ever undertaken by the federal government up to that time.
Today the MRC, which is headquartered in Vicksburg, Miss., provides water resources engineering direction and policy advice to the Administration, Congress and the Army in a drainage basin that covers 41 percent of the United States and parts of two Canadian provinces by overseeing the planning and reporting on the improvements on the Mississippi River. The intent behind the mission of the MRC today is the same as the mission placed on the commission upon its creation—to lead sustainable management and development of water related resources for the nation's benefit and the people's well-being.

Explaining the African Vote: Your Stimulus $ at work
Your Stimulus Money at Work?
Grant: $233,825 - National Science Foundation - Jul. 19, 2009 -
Award Description:
Despite pouring millions of dollars into programs to further the democratization of Africa, donors remain uninformed about one of the most important facets of politics on the continent: Why do Africans vote they way they do? Most observers of African elections view the process as a mere ethnic headcount: all citizens vote for their own ethnic group regardless of the performance of the incumbent government and without reference to the issues of the day. Yet there is scant evidence to support this view. In the vast majority of African countries a single ethnic group cannot achieve a majority of the votes. Ethnic coalitions break down and shift frequently and politicians from the same ethnic group are members of different political parties.
The salience of ethnicity to politics in African countries varies widely and elections produce violence in some cases but not others. Moreover, our knowledge of the motivations of African voters remains murky, based primarily upon anecdotal reports, studies of a small number of (unscientifically selected) cases, or surveys that measure attitudes but not actual electoral behavior. Surprisingly, few scholars up to this point have employed the most powerful tool to measure vote choice: the exit poll.
The investigators plan to explore the determinants of voting in Namibia, a transitioning democracy that features a dominant ethnic group: the Ovambo in Namibia represent nearly half the population. Scholars and policymakers consider Namibia to be on its way to stable democracy. However, a single party (SWAPO) has dominated politics since independence.
To what extent is this dominance based on ethnic claims, and to what extent of performance or issue evaluations? Understanding the motivations of its voters opens the way to a deeper understanding of African politics, and help to inform scholarly opinion and the challenges (or not) that remain with respect to democracy promotion. This project will have broader impacts by placing four graduate students and one undergraduate student in the field.
The knowledge they will receive through helping to construct, manage, and analyze this exit poll is required to advance training beyond the classroom. For two of the students, it will be their first experience in Africa. For all, it will be the first time they are involved in generating quantitative scientifically produced primary data. This nation-wide exercise will also help in the participation and training of hundreds of enumerators in Namibia.
Finally, the poll can also provide another check on the official electoral results which may prove unreliable given the challenges faced by the Namibian electoral commission to conduct a free and fair election.
Project Description:
The primary objective of this project is, thus, to identify the micro-foundations of vote choice in sub-Saharan Africa through extensive analysis of individual-level exit poll data. Our project requires gathering sociodemographic, census, and political data to help us to design our poll well, writing and testing our exit poll in the field, training and supervising staff in the field, collecting and entering exit poll data into databases, analyzing and testing those data, and publishing the results of our analyses.
We will disseminate our research results widely to academic and policy audiences as well as develop a comprehensive dataset that will be accessible to the public. These efforts will result in a robust understanding of how Africans vote, which will in turn allow for a better targeting our external aid funds aimed at promoting democracy on the continent.
Jobs Summary:
Nothing to report, however future 7.98 FTE will include .17 FTE for both Principal Investigator's effort over the course of the project, .19 FTE for Graduate Student Researchers at UCSD, .44 FTE for Graduate Student Researchers at Georgetown, and 7.29 FTE for polling workers at Steadman (subaward) in Africa.

Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition
by Charles Eisenstein
No current Talk conversations about this book.
If Charles hadn't written this book, it's what I'd be writing. Very intuitive for me. Very good.
Anyone who says "money is the root of all evil" should read this book. Money isn't evil, it's a tool, a medium of exchange that reflects a relationship. Through the mechanisms proposed in this work we could turn around what money is used for today (stripping of the commons, etc) and make it work for Good. Money is an incentive and we could mould it to suit our needs rather than the other way around, this book shows how it may be possible to do that.
Truly an important and timely book whose author's breath of knowledge and perspicacious compassion rank him - in my mind - as important a thinker and writer as anyone alive today. Essential reading for the troubled times ahead (and now) and how to capitalize on the challenges of spirit and material, psyche and soma to make our individual worlds and the world at large (ultimately no difference) a place that sustains us; and how that manifests in our various economies - societal and planetary. And solutions to our current paradigm of money, resources, and the utilization and exchange of those resources. "Gifting"everything as a solution...
Author Charles Eisenstein begins this bold and well written book examining why innovation, labor saving devices, and all of the earth's bounty fail to deliver prosperity to most of the people. "After centuries of technological advances, why do we find ourselves working just as much as ever?" he asks, before observing: "For centuries, futurists have predicted an imminent age of leisure. Why has it never happened? The reason is that, at every opportunity, we have chosen to produce more rather than to work less. We have been helpless to choose otherwise."
Money is created as interest bearing debt. When the interest rate is greater than zero, the debt always exceeds the available money. Servicing the resulting debt requires constant economic growth. Growing the economy requires transforming something that began as a gift from nature or the community into something that can be sold. Nature becomes transformed into commodities and monetized.
As a result, "A larger and larger proportion of income goes toward the servicing of debt, and when that does not suffice, preexisting assets are collateralized and then seized until there are none left."
But we are already deeply into overshoot. Financial overshoot is manifest as the aggregate of government, institutional, and personal debt. Ecological overshoot is manifest as global warming, air and water pollution, waste dumps, deforestation, desertification, aquifer depletion, natural resource consumption, depleted fisheries, and other depletions of common resources.
The commons, including land, forests, fresh air, clean water, ocean fisheries, minerals, biodiversity, the genome, and the electromagnetic spectrum, all existed prior to human activities. There is no legitimate right to any private ownership claim to these natural resources. Yet these common assets are continually privatized and monetized to support economic growth. Public goods are privately claimed and sold. Corporations profit at the public's expense.
Income distribution becomes increasingly unequal. Those who have been able to profit from accumulating money, holding land, or exploiting other commons accrue great wealth. Others are forced to compete for fewer jobs offering unsatisfying work at low wages. The work force is divided into the frenzied and overworked "haves" and the unemployed or underpaid "have not's". Well-being suffers for all. The author makes clear: "The more monetized society is, the more anxious and hurried its citizens"
As we dedicated our lives to growing the economy Eisenstein remarks: "Each tree cut down and made into paper, each idea captured and made into intellectual property, each child who uses video games instead of creating worlds of the imagination, each human relationship turned into a paid service, depletes a bit of the natural, cultural, spiritual, and social commons and converts it into money." The result is the constant erosion of social capital—a trusting relationship among community members that creates meaningful social networks. The author observes: "The commoditization of social relationships leaves us with nothing to do together but to consume."
Sacred economics rejects the many false assumptions of traditional economics to describe a system that is stable during degrowth, and encourages us to create more of what is truly valuable. Charles Eisenstein presents bold solutions to the systemic problems of today's economy, while describing how a transition to this sacred economy could take place.
He clearly states: "I will not mince words: in this book I am calling for economic degrowth, a shrinking of the economy, a recession that will last decades or centuries." Yet, because the assumptions that: 1) growth is good and 2) growth is unlimited are both false, sacred economics enables prosperity during economic degrowth.
His solution is an economic system that integrates these seven features:
1. Negative-Interest Currency— "Because of interest, at any given time the amount of money owed is greater than the amount of money already existing." Because the interest rate establishes the minimum growth rate of the economy, negative interest rates are needed to allow a decrease in monetization.
2. Elimination of Economic Rents, and Compensation for Depletion of the Commons—Because there is no legitimate claim to private ownership of the commons, private seizure or exploitation of the commons must end and users must pay the public for private use or depletion of the commons. "Generalized, the principle is, 'The use of anything for money will increase the supply of that thing.'" Choosing to back money by use of the commons will increase the supply of those commons.
3. Internalization of Social and Environmental Costs— "Money as we know it ultimately rests on converting the public into the private" Today, pollution and other forms of environmental degradation generate costs that are usually borne by society and future generations, not the polluters. This unfair private gain from exploitation of public assets must be reversed to discourage pollution and environmental degradation. "Whatever form it takes, an essential purpose of government—maybe the essential purpose of government—is to serve as the trustee of the commons"
4. Economic and Monetary Localization—True cost accounting favors local commerce. "When production and economic exchange are local, the social and environmental effects of our actions are much more obvious, reinforcing our innate compassion."
5. The Social Dividend—Earth's bounty and the accumulation of thousands of years of technological advances are public wealth. The benefits must be distributed as a social dividend to increase the well-being of all the earth's people. "Mathematically, if money is subject to diminishing marginal utility, the optimal distribution of money is: as equitably as possible."
6. Economic Degrowth—As technology continues to advance we can choose to work less or, more accurately, to work less for money. "Here is a certainty: the linear conversion of resources into waste is unsustainable on a finite planet. More unsustainable still is exponential growth, whether of resource use, money, or population."
7. Gift Culture and P2P economics—"When every economic relationship becomes a paid service, we are left independent of everyone we know and dependent, via money, on anonymous, distant service providers. That is a primary reason for the decline of community in modern societies, with its attendant alienation, loneliness, and psychological misery. Moreover, money is unsuited to facilitate the circulation and development of the unquantifiable things that truly make life rich."
Chapter 17 provides a brief summary and roadmap of these transformational ideas. Although these ideas are bold and fundamentally transformational, encouraging transition scenarios are presented. For example:
+ Interest rates have already dropped to near zero.
+ The Alaska Permanent Fund, established in 1976, sets aside a certain share of oil revenues to continue benefiting current and all future generations of Alaskans.
+ Open source software and projects such as Wikipedia make valuable intellectual property freely available to all.
+ Internet sites such as Craigslist displaced billions of dollars in classified advertising while encourage the continuing flow and reuse of goods.
+ Time Banking encourages people to exchange services based on time spent.
+ Disintermediation has reduced the cost of many services such as travel agencies, secondary research, book stores, and music distribution. Many artists, including authors, musicians, movie producers, photographers, and painters create and distribute their works directly to consumers over internet sites.
This book is full of good ideas for transforming the obsolete elements of our economic systems into a truly modern economy. Credible evidence and clear thinking bolsters each argument. The book is well written. Plan to spend time reading and re-reading this book to fully grasp the many ideas it presents.
There are some sections of the book that are too mystical and spiritual for my tastes. Perhaps I am too literal and shortsighted to fully grasp these concepts, the concepts are ahead of their time, or they are based on wishful thinking. I suspended judgment on these sections and enjoyed the many well-presented ideas the book offers.
The author strives to put his ideas into practice; the full text of the book is available online as a gift. Readers are asked to pay whatever they feel the book is worth to them.
Capitalism has had a good run and provided many benefits. So has the steam engine. Although both originated a few centuries ago, the steam engine has long since been superseded by more advanced technologies. Perhaps the time to supersede capitalism with a more advanced and sacred economy has arrived.

"Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth. Today, these trends have reached their extreme--but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being. This book is about how the money system will have to change--and is already changing--to embody this transition. A broadly integrated synthesis of theory, policy, and practice, Sacred Economics explores avant-garde concepts of the New Economics, including negative-interest currencies, local currencies, resource-based economics, gift economies, and the restoration of the commons. Author Charles Eisenstein also considers the personal dimensions of this transition, speaking to those concerned with "right livelihood" and how to live according to their ideals in a world seemingly ruled by money. Tapping into a rich lineage of conventional and unconventional economic thought, Sacred Economics presents a vision that is original yet commonsense, radical yet gentle, and increasingly relevant as the crises of our civilization deepen"--… (more)

When the members finally reconvened, they brought their creatively recharged batteries to their writing sessions and then tested their newly crafted songs in front of audiences at intermittent shows.
Early last year, stellastarr* went into the studio with the songs that generated the best live response and continued to shape and shine the material until the group emerged with its excellent third album, the just-released Civilized.
Like its predecessors, Civilized teems with the energetic New Wave/Britpop clockwork swing of the '80s (think XTC/Gang of Four/Echo and the Bunnymen) mutated with contemporary, fist-pumping Pop/ Punk anthemics (think the Strokes/Killers). In many ways, Civilized is a brilliant blend of stellastarr*'s jaunty self-titled 2003 debut and the band's moodily downbeat 2005 sophomore effort, Harmonies for the Haunted. Released on the group's own Bloated Wife label, Civilized soars with a generally positive vibe occasionally counterpointed by a more subdued atmosphere, resulting in a thrilling hybrid that is both visceral and thoughtful, a range represented by the album's first single, "Graffiti Eyes," and its closing track, the swellingly emotional "Sonja Cries." It's a safe bet that it's the visceral side that gets showcased on stellastarr*'s summer tour.

Georges is about to show up some high class recruits.
Tuned in. So far it's been all Noel. And one of the Harrison twins.
Wow. Noel reminds me of Kelvin Cato with that 90's hair, and those high shot blocks. More like Kendall Gill with the hair.
First time I've seen Georges play. I am so excited to see him here in a year.

Don't have ESPNU with my cable provider any where else I can watch it?
Niang with 9 points on 4 of 6 shooting in the first half
Georges Niang tops list of undervalued players - ESPN
Niang ended the first half with 9 points.
He has to be frustrating to defend. He finishes everything. He has beautiful touch around the rim and excellent ability to get the ball on the glass. He had a couple nice passes as well.
I hadn't heard a lot about his defense but was pleasantly surprised. He has a high basketball IQ and understands positioning. I was actually really impressed with BABC as a whole. They play a slow down game and really understand their assignments in their 1-2-2. Georges was outjumped for a couple rebounds, but nothing to worry about.
He is going to be a stud, plain and simple. His post game is already polished.
I don't bring my own opinions, just attack others.

Positives from Niang:
- High IQ
- Soft touch on the block
- Unselfish
- Hustle
- Average athleticism
- Appears to have a strong frame, but either is not as strong as he looks, or he doesn't know how to use his strength to his advantage. (Can be fixed easily with coaching)
- Defensive positioning needs work
- 6'7'' might be a stretch.
- Range
I like what I see. Most of his negatives can be fixed with coaching. He seems like a guy that is all about the team. He doesn't have a very high ceiling, which is why he isn't being ranked higher, but this kid is a high major player and ISU got a steal. He will get solid playing time early and will one day be a starter. His IQ seems to be very high, which is always a good thing.
What number is Niang on BABC?
EDIT: Never mind, just showed he's #31, and something like #36 Power Forward in the ESPN rankings.
BABC isn't looking so good right now.

Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communications Ltd reported a sharper-than-expected 60 percent decline in quarterly profit as the country's No.3 mobile phone carrier by customers struggles with its heavy debt load.
Consolidated net profit fell to 1.02 billion rupees ($19 million) for its fiscal second quarter ended September, from 2.52 billion rupees reported a year earlier, Reliance Communications, controlled by billionaire Ambani, said in a statement on Thursday.
Analysts had expected the company to report a net profit of 1.64 billion rupees.
Shares in Reliance Communications, valued at $2.2 billion, closed 1.4 percent higher ahead of the earnings announcement. The stock is down 16 percent this year, underperforming the benchmark Mumbai index that is up 22 percent.

RCom Q2 net dips by 59.5 per cent at Rs 102 crore
(PTI) Reliance Communications today reported a 60 per cent drop in its consolidated net profit at Rs 102 crore for the second quarter ended September 30.
The company had posted a net profit of Rs 252 crore in the corresponding period last fiscal.
RCom President and Chief Executive Officer for Wireless Business Gurdeep Singh said that profit after tax of the company is mainly down due to interest outgo on money the firm had borrowed to buy 3G spectrum two years ago.
The total income from operations increased by 4.98 per cent at Rs 5,031 crore for the July-September 2012 quarter compared to Rs 4,792 crore it registered during the corresponding period a year ago.
During the quarter, RCom raised pre-paid tariffs by 25 per cent across GSM and CDMA platforms.
"This decision is in line with our aim of maintaining a healthy RPM (revenue per minute) and improving average margin per user. We expect the full revenue impact of the tariff hike to reflect by next financial year," the company said in a statement.
RCom said its 3G customer based increased to 4.8 million and company now has over 26 million customers using data (internet) services.
"Rationalisation of 3G tariff has helped in uptake," Singh said.
Singh said that average revenue that company earns from its subscribers has reached Rs 102 crore.
RCom's subscriber base reached 13.48 crore at the end of September 2012.
Shares of the company closed at Rs 58.55 apiece, up by 1.3 per cent at BSE today.

I wanted to ring in the new year by going for a ride today. A friend of mine and I rode to the San Xavier del Bac Mission south of Tucson.
Here are some photos of the Mission:
They still have a daily mass at the mission. I'm not religious and have never been, but I imagine it being very cool for Catholics.
My buddy rode his mountain bike, which is fun because it makes me the fast one
The ride was nice and the weather was great. The other cool thing is that the ride put me over 100 miles for the week. It was one of my goals for my time off of work.
*I tried to take some action shots for Mr. Beanz, but it didn't really work out. I'll keep practicing.

Summarising 11 days of the world's best films in 140 characters or less sounds impossible – unless you're Brisbane International Film Festival director Richard Moore.
"BIFF 2010 = Insightful, provocative, entertaining, sexy, disturbing, rock n roll!" is how Moore would tweet his review of the festival, which runs from November 4-14.
Such skills in tweet speak will stand him in good stead during BIFF, when patrons will have the chance to flex their film twitic muscles via the #biffreviews Twitter stream.
Over the next 10 days of the festival, brisbanetimes.com.au is giving you the chance to become a film reviewer for us.
Contribute your own reviews of the programmed films using #biffreviews and we will feature the best of the reviews on our site.
With more than 100 features and 50 shorts, there's plenty of film fodder to sink your tweeting beak into.
Beginning with an opening night screening of Cane Toads: The Conquest, Australia's first full length 3D film, there's a range of other stand-out events, Australian and world premieres and gala screenings to choose from.
Highlights include this weekend's 'Dive-in Cinema', a double feature screening of cult shark-horror films Jaws and Deep Blue at the Centenary Pools, Spring Hill.
There are also elegant soirees planned at Palace Centro to celebrate the domestic debuts of Brisbane 'womance' Jucy and feel-good French flick Copacabana.
Certified Copy is another Gallic great starring Chocolat's Juliette Binoche, one of the festival's leading ladies.
Other star turns include Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor in gay comedy I Love You Phillip Morris, Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling in the heartbreaking Blue Valentine and Spiderman's James Franco in his critically acclaimed Alan Ginsberg biopic Howl.
But Moore, a former documentary maker, has also lifted the significance of his craft in the program this year, selecting a range of provocative pieces intended to inspire, stimulate and – at times – enrage audiences.
BIFF 2010 = Insightful, provocative, entertaining, sexy, disturbing, rock n roll!
Key among the lineup is Josh Fox's controversial work GasLand, which shines an unflattering light on America's coal seam gas industry just as the industry takes hold in Queensland.
There is also the compelling, first-person account of life as a woman, born with male testes, in Brisbane filmmaker Phoebe Hart's Orchids: My Intersex Adventure.
A newcomer to Brisbane, Moore has also paid tribute to the city's thriving music culture, including a section titled Beatbox that presents rock, punk, dub and klezmer-hip-hop fusion as you've never seen before.
The Brisbane International Film Festival, of which brisbanetimes.com.au are proud sponsors, runs November 4-14.

Big Brother: Adam Jasinski Held Without Bail
October 31, 2009 11:12 AM by Britteny Elrick
Things aren't looking so good for Big Brother winner Adam Jasinski. After being caught selling 2,000 Oxycodone pills to an undercover cop, Adam was put in prison, facing up to $1 million in fines and 20 years in the slammer. Keep reading to hear all the latest…
According to E! News, U.S. District Judge Leo T. Sorokin denied Adam's request to be released from prison on his drug trafficking charges. "He is detained," court clerk Maria Simeone told E! News.
"[Sorokin] determined that the government had met its burden of proof based on the evidence and that the defendant posed a risk of flight."
Adam had been set up by a local drug dealer who was arrested earlier that month. He had arranged to meet Adam at the Logan International Airport, where he then followed him to a strip mall in North Reading, MA. Jasinski eventually revealed a sock full of pills and admitted to using his Big Brother prize money to obtain thousands of Oxycodone pills, which he was reselling.

About Lone Coyote Productions
Lone Coyote Productions was formed in June 1996 as the organisation behind SpeakEasy - a monthly live acoustic-ish music club featuring established and new performers, with emphasis on local artists. SpeakEasy ran for just over two years at the Cybar in Brighton, before venue problems led to it ending. Over its two years, the club played host to somewhere in the region of eighty performers, earned an excellent reputation and launched a snazzy website.
In July 1999 SpeakEasy briefly relaunched at The Lift in Brighton, with a revised format of three featured acts and an open mic spot. Events tailed off when the lone coyote got a 'real' job as an events promoter for a large book and record store - booking Turin Brakes, Marc Almond, Patti Smith, John Cale, JK Rowling, Jamie Oliver amongst others.
Lone Coyote Records officially came into being in June 2000, as the business arm of Lone Coyote Productions. Having spent time and effort helping particular artists to develop with bits and bobs of promotional and marketing work, it seemed a natural progression to take this to the next step, to become a independent label, with dedicated artist management and promotion.
In 2005 Lone Coyote continues to promote and publicise Brighton indie-acoustic singer-songwriter Al Start.
Lone Coyote Productions has been involved in the following projects:
The highlight of the festival was this major concert at the 350 seater Sallis Benney Theatre, featuring Martha and Eve, Lucy Ray and many others
Two shows at the Marlborough.
A SpeakEasy Special featuring Toucan, Madeline Milla, Seffy & Erika, Neshama and hosted by Bernadette Cremin
Sirens 2000 featuring Angelou, Lucy Ray and Nicky Mitchell, hosted by Renee McAllister
Taking the Stage - performance workshop led by Nicky Mitchell
Websites for Taking Liberties Festival 1997, SpeakEasy, Nicky Mitchell, Al Start, When She Calls
CD packaging and publicity materials for Nicky Mitchell, Al Start, Isabella Connection, When She Calls, The Kitchen Girls (released March 30th 2001) and Asha (released June 2001) have been designed by Seffy.

NEAR EAU CLAIRE, Wis. - A chronic lawbreaker is facing his 15th DWI after being pulled over in the city of Altoona Sunday night.
Police say 50-year-old Mitchell Bundy was stopped around 10:45 p.m. while driving near River Prairie Drive and US Highway 53 for an observed traffic violation.
The officer suspected that Bundy had been drinking alcohol, and he was arrested for DWI following field sobriety testing.
Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicle records indicate that he has fourteen prior convictions for Operating While Intoxicated dating back to 1991. He does, however, hold a valid drivers license in Wisconsin.
Bundy is presently being held in the Eau Claire County Jail. The case has been referred to the Eau Claire County District Attorney's Office.

RAID is a wonderful way to achieve faster disk access speeds, data security or both. Here's some ways to get the most bang for your buck out of setting up a RAID:
- Speed: If speed is the primary reason you're setting up a disk array, you won't want to use RAID0 (striping) at all. You'll want an SSD (solid state drive) instead of RAID. SSDs are pretty affordable and far faster than RAID, plus it's easy to put your system on an SSD – even if you're running Windows. However if you want crazy insane speeds, you can go for a RAID0 set up using two or more SSDs! It's important to note, however, that if you're a gamer you won't see much benefit from RAID as the main bottlenecks usually revolve around RAM and graphics cards capabilities.
- Reliability: Software RAID is almost always a better choice these days than hardware RAID. Hardware RAID controllers suffer from three major problems that software controllers don't:
- They are almost always expensive, usually adding at least a couple hundred dollars to the hardware cost. Software RAID costs nothing. (if you see a cheap RAID controller, say $20, it is almost always actually just a regular disk controller that implements software RAID in the BIOS. As a result nearly always Windows only compatible)
- If your RAID card fails, your entire RAID is down – an ugly single point of failure. With software RAID if your motherboard or drive control card fail, you can just plug the disks into another running system.
- If your RAID card fails, if you don't have the same model card to replace it with, your data is permanently lost. Again, with software RAID you can just move the disks to another machine and you're back up and running.
While hardware RAID is still faster than software RAID, the difference is pretty negligible and generally the small speed advantage will almost never be worth the potential for data loss. There are lots of other advantages to software RAID too, such as the ability to increase a RAID's volume sizes on filesystems like ZFS by simply adding more disks that are then 'virtualized' to appear as if they are extending existing disks or the fact that software RAID supports SSD caching. Finally, software RAID on Linux systems using mdadm is very easy to set up – much more so than fiddling with settings in a RAID controller card's utility.
- Speed: On-disk data compression can dramatically reduce disk latency times by reducing the amount of data that actually needs to be written to disk. The bottleneck on any write operation is always the drive access latency, so the less data you have to write the faster the overall operation will be. While this does incur a cost in CPU cycles, it's both minimal and trivial for modern processors. Again, the ZFS filesystem supports compressed volumes, plus you get data encryption for free.
- Reliability: If reliability and data security are your focus, consider RAID1 (mirroring). While it offers no advantages for write speed, it will actually increase your speed for reads as the data chunks can be read simultaneously from two or more disks.
- Speed & Reliability: You can get both speed and data security using RAID10; the downside is that this is also the most expensive option both in terms of the number of hard drives required (minimum of four).

Welcome to the RUSH Podiatry Program. I have been the director of this program since the birth of it 20 years ago, and have had the opportunity of teaching surgery and clinical practice to many residents. All of them have gone on to successful careers in podiatric medicine and surgery.
Rush North Shore Medical Center provides a great environment to work in. It is a community hospital closely associated with RUSH University Medical Center and all of its resources and clinical teaching programs. The emergency room is very busy and there is a high volume of in-house patient exposure. We also have a strong relationship with cardiovascular, orthopedics, internal medicine, general surgery and plastic surgery.
Currently, the podiatry program is conducting research on increased healing rates of venous stasis ulcers with the application of autologous growth factors. The use of growth factors in wound care shows very promising results.
This program is one of the leading podiatric residencies in the country, and we continue to strive to be a center of excellence.

Tut tut tut
Tut. That is all.
Microsoft India has warned customers of its online store that their financial details may have been compromised, backtracking on a previous statement to the contrary. Chinese hackers, apparently members of a group known as Evil Shadow Team, were thought to have breached Microsoft's systems earlier this month, defacing the …
Tut. That is all.
"In time honoured fashion, however, Redmond has now been forced to admit that this prognosis may have been a little over-hasty, and optimistic, according to Wall Street Journal India blogger and Microsoft customer, Amit Agarwal."
Would it also be possible that the Indian branch tried to keep things covered up and that Redmond has now forced them to put the cards on the table?
That scenario sounds much more likely to me, yet the article is a bit vague there. As such; "forced by who?".
Whether you're right or not, it was an "over-hasty", "optimistic" and premature announcement for MS to make before MS itself had checked the facts. Nothing wrong there, in terms of journalism.
Don't say "It hasn't happened" unless you've absolutely, cast-iron, 100% verified it hasn't. Or you'll look like a pillock who doesn't know what the hell their own company is doing. You could say "We're investigating", or "Our inquiries are still being pursued but we don't believe that..." etc.
If you say, in effect, "Your card numbers are safe", you better be damn sure they are.
When Steam was compromised a few months back, they took WEEKS to investigate and still gave only "We think they only got encrypted copies". As such, they didn't look half as incompetent as MS have here (and it's still believed that not one single card number has been stolen from Steam BECAUSE everything was properly encrypted in the first place).
Or, conversely, the operators of the store told Microsoft that the CC details were safe... why would MS believe otherwise? And how would they prove it?
It is quite likely that it is indeed the investigations that MS have carried out that have forced the provider to come clean...
Now, should MS have made the statement in the first place? Debateable. operators said it was safe, should MS have believed them?
Where did you pull that one out from ? I know, from your the forefathers grave who were l basically conniving theives who looted the subcontinent!
Rich I tell ya
You're right, but there is one unwritten company "law" which is even more important: never /ever/ attack colleagues / co-workers in public. Because that will make the whole company look bad. So if this branch said that there was nothing wrong; why would HQ (Redmond) question that ?
Although this is about Microsoft as a company I just can't help wonder if the main cause of the problem wasn't with the Indian branch itself.
Picture this:
Microsoft (see there, I spelled it correctly) is now caught with `egg on its face`, and its CEO is "embarrassed". An explanation is demanded. People need to be held accountable.
So, the fools that told Microsoft are hauled into Ballmer's office, and get to experience one of Ballmer's `infamous` chair throwing episodes. Unfortunately, for them, they are IN the chair as it sails out the window.
Icon department, can we get a chair throwing icon please!
Otherwise, FAIL, because that is the obvious choice.
"Would it also be possible that the Indian branch tried to keep things covered up and that Redmond has now forced them to put the cards on the table?"
Absolutely, Microsoft has never been known to release misleading statements to the public.
I seem to recall reading that the servers operated in India were by a non-MS subsidiary and not "MS India".
But why would MS not operate the web store? Can't they scale a website for global use?
Maybe they outsourced it to India.... Oh wait!

Devastating Froch destroys Bute in Nottingham - 26/05/2012
The Cobra takes IBF title from Canadian with brutal fifth round stoppage
Carl Froch is a three-time World champion after he ripped the IBF World super middleweight title away from Lucian Bute with a devastating fifth round stoppage at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham.
The Cobra poured on the pressure with some brutal work in the third round, with Bute getting saved by the bell. The champion fought back at the beginning of the fourth but roared on by his adoring hometown fans, Froch came on strong again and Bute was wobbled as he returned to the corner.
Immortal: Carl Froch celebrates with Eddie Hearn
But the Canadian couldn't hold back the tide any longer as Froch pinned him against the ropes once more and this time Bute crumbled and the referee stepped in and gave him a standing count and Bute's corner pulled him out, to make Froch a three-time World champion.
"I feel so happy, so elated," he told Sky Sports. "That performance, I'm giving it to Rob McCracken. I have a lot of conversations with Eddie Hearn and his dad Barry and they talk a lot of sense.
"They talk from the heart, and so does Rob for that matter. And because I've got that team around me it drives me on. I've got a little boy Rocco and a beautiful partner Rachel, and tonight I came here to do it for myself
"It was all or nothing. If I'd have lost tonight, I would have announced my retirement, that's how close it was. But with a performance like that, I'm just so excited about the future it's unbelievable."

Microsoft fixes 'critical' Exchange server security hole
Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) is fixing a large number of security holes across most of its products this Tuesday as part of its monthly patch schedule, including "critical" vulnerabilities in Exchange server, Windows and Internet Explorer (IE).
Overall, Microsoft is plugging 57 security holes in 12 security bulletins, five of them classified as "critical" and seven classified as "important."
Exchange is an important business application for many enterprises. It is a mail server, calendar software and contact manager that runs on Windows Server, and it provides mobile sync for iPhones, Androids, Windows Phone and other mobile devices.
Andrew Storms, director of security operations for security firm nCircle, related that Microsoft has released a number of fixes over the last couple of months for Oracle's Outside In technology, which is used by the Exchange server. "Exchange server bugs make a lot of people nervous; let's hope this month's Exchange patch is as dull as ditch water," he wrote, according to comments emailed to FierceEnterpriseCommunications.
Microsoft is issuing two bulletins to fix security flaws in IE. "That's unusual because generally, when Microsoft patches IE, the patch is delivered as a single bulletin. The planned delivery of two separate IE bulletins has my 'Spidey' senses on alert. I'm sure other IT security teams are wondering exactly what kind of IE valentine we're going to get," Storms opined.
The broad range of products being fixed by Microsoft this Tuesday is surprising, noted Paul Henry, security and forensic analyst with security firm Lumension.
"It's disturbing to note how many different Microsoft platforms are critically affected this month. Everything from Windows XP to the new Windows RT is critically impacted. It's never a good sign when your current code base is impacted," Henry wrote in comments emailed to FierceEnterpriseCommunications.
Henry judged that the two IE bulletins contain fixes for Oracle's Java software, which has been plagued by ongoing security problems. Earlier this month, Oracle issued patches for over 50 Java vulnerabilities ahead of schedule because of the "active exploitation 'in the wild' of one of the vulnerabilities affecting the Java Runtime Environment in desktop browsers."
In response to the Java vulnerabilities, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) blocked Java from operating on Macs following a warning from the Department of Homeland Security about security flaws in Java coding, according to a report by AP.
The constant stream of reports about security vulnerabilities in major software products should keep IT administrators on their toes about patching their systems. Otherwise, they risk having their companies become the latest breach headline.
