Books | Great writers are great reminders of the joys of reading
Recently I have been reading about reading. I have been delving into these books about books in preparation for a class I am currently teaching, but I have found them so entertaining that I may just make a habit of it. Three of them particularly merit revisiting.
Brightest Heaven of Invention by Peter Leithart purports to be a Christian guide to six Shakespearean plays. But it is far more than that. In addition to providing an excellent introduction to Henry V, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, and Taming of the Shrew, it also is a bracing tonic of history, theology, literary theory, social criticism, and practical application. I have been a student of Shakespeare for years, but I have never had a more able or enjoyable instructor than Mr. Leithart.
Introduction to Dickens is a splendidly succinct guide to all of the major works by the Victorian literary phenomenon Charles Dickens. Written by the renowned literary biographer Peter Ackroyd, the book follows the great novelist through every stage of his wildly imaginative and astonishingly productive career. But in the process, it also highlights the extraordinary times that colored the speculative masterpieces that make up the Dickensian canon. Indeed, Mr. Ackroyd's vivid prose, historical insights, and critical asides are nearly as pleasurable to read as the novels he describes. I'll never be able to read Oliver Twist, Bleak House, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities, or my favorite, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, in quite the same way again.
Bookworms by Laura Furman and Elinore Standard is the quintessential book about books. It is an anthology of letters, essays, reviews, and epigrams by great writers about the joys of literary adventuring. Here Jane Austen extols the pleasures of reading aloud; Eudora Welty recalls the ecstacy of childhood discoveries at the local library; William Faulkner waxes eloquent about lazy belletristic sojourns upon the front porch; Samuel Taylor Coleridge describes the sundry varieties of readers; James Joyce reflects on the importance of reading Shakespeare as opposed to merely attending the theater; and John Keats defends the unmitigated virtue of literary hedonism.
The editors, whose own wide-ranging reading is evident on every page, have collected a celebration of bibliophilia suitable for the inveterate bookworm, those remarkable souls C.S. Lewis called "the euphoric hallucinators."
Reading about reading in books about books may appear to be more than a little esoteric for those not particularly inclined to bookishness, but these three books are manna for the mind.

Sure he's running a business and wants to attract customers, but my take is that that is not his only motivation; he seems genuinely enthusiastic about bikes and wants all riders to have a good experience.

Will Courtney Lee find himself running with the starters this season?Each weekday leading up to next Tuesday's opening night, I'll play a game of 3-on-3 with ESPN Boston colleague Greg Payne and CelticsHub's Brian Robb to break down a key topic surrounding the Celtics' 2012-13 season. Today's topic: Boston's lineups.
1. What should the C's starting lineup be on opening night?
Payne: On opening night the Celtics should go with Rajon Rondo, Courtney Lee, Paul Pierce, Brandon Bass, and Kevin Garnett. The last handful of preseason games saw Lee really gel with this group -- Rondo in particular -- and he put on display so many of the things that will help this team win games this season. He'll be a huge asset defensively against Dwyane Wade, and he'll help Boston secure easy baskets in transition, which they'll definitely need to beat Miami. As for Bass, the continuity with this group cannot be ignored. They have the experience together and, even though Jared Sullinger played very well throughout the preseason, he could be a serious weapon off the bench for Boston. The Celtics will see a host of pick-and-roll plays from Miami and the 1-2 punch of Garnett and Bass along the frontline is Boston's best bet to defend those.
Robb: Rondo, Lee, Pierce, Bass, and Garnett. I've been fully on board with the idea of Sullinger taking the power forward slot in the starting 5, but when it comes to matching up with an undersized Heat lineup on opening night, I grew a bit weary of the idea. Forcing Sullinger to match up with an undersized Shane Battier, while being asked to handle defensive rotations against the likes of LeBron James, Wade, and Chris Bosh is a tall order, especially for the first game of someone's NBA career. Bass has seen plenty of success and experience defending this Heat squad, so I'd expect him to get the nod on opening night, along with Lee at shooting guard for defensive purposes on Wade.
Forsberg: You guys nailed it: Rondo, Lee, Pierce, Bass, and Garnett. The Celtics very well may shuffle their lineup at times this season, but there's no reason to get crazy the first night out. Miami's smaller lineup (with Bosh at center) makes it more beneficial for Boston to keep an athletic 4 on the floor. Boston could flirt with the idea of throwing Jeff Green in the mix (in a small lineup with Pierce and Lee), but the familiarity with Bass makes most sense. The Celtics then have a formidable second unit to roll in with Green and Jason Terry off the bench, and Sullinger might be the first reserve in for Garnett.
2. Should Boston use a transitional starting lineup this season?
Payne: I think the Celtics can take a wait-and-see approach for the transitional starting lineup. Coach Doc Rivers certainly doesn't have to decide one way or the other right off the bat. Not only is his frontline deeper than it was last season, but it's more versatile, with the likes of Sullinger, Bass, and Darko Milicic all offering different benefits to the team. I think it's too early to say whether this approach will definitely work. Obviously, the issue of continuity is the biggest drawback, but that's not to say it can't be overcome as the season rolls along. I'm sure Rivers will test these waters, as he should, and see how his team responds.
Robb: Definitely. Having options is never a bad thing in the NBA. Over the past four years, Rivers has had limited viable possibilities when it came to his starting 5, largely due to injuries and depth issues, but the equation has changed. With Rondo, Pierce and Garnett set in the starting 5, there are a host of players that are worthy of being inserted at the shooting guard and power forward starting slots, depending on the matchup for Boston. Rivers having the flexibility to mix and match starting units, based on opponent, is a wise move in my estimation and will also give him an extra motivating tool throughout the regular season to reward particular players for doing their job well. Rivers may very well find a starting mix he likes early and stick with it, but until he does, a transitional starting lineup is the way to go.
Forsberg: Rivers didn't trot out seven different lineups over eight preseason games just for giggles. Much of camp has focused on getting his players to buy into the mentality of one goal and making sacrifices for the greater good of the team. If Rivers and his players can ignore the notion that a team has to have a cement-set starting 5, then it's a chance to see if a transitional lineup truly is feasible when a team has the proper versatility. Why not take some of the wear and tear off Kevin Garnett early in the season by putting Darko Milicic at center (and match up better with some of the bigger frontlines that now clutter the Atlantic Division landscape)? Or put Sullinger with the first unit and see if his skill set best alines with that group, with the potential for the added bonus of Bass' offense giving the second unit a boost. Why not spend the first 41 games seeing what works, then reevaluate before the second half of the season? As long as it doesn't cost the team wins, then there's little harm in experimenting.
3. Opponent notwithstanding, what's the best final 5 to close games?
Payne: We'll probably see the Celtics close a lot of games with Rondo, Terry, Pierce, Green, and Garnett on the floor. This lineup is loaded with offense and versatility, while still offering plenty of defense, which is obviously crucial late in games. While I won't anoint him an elite defender by any means, Green certainly showed some serious defensive potential during the preseason, which will put more faith in Rivers to trust him late in games. More importantly might be Green's ability to get to the rim. Though he took plenty of outside shots during the exhibition season, he showed a renewed interest in attacking the basket, and late in games, an ability to get to the rim and the free throw line is imperative. This lineup offers Boston the chance to score from every spot on the floor, and is experienced enough -- always bolstered by Garnett's presence -- to secure the necessary stops to finish ballgames.
Robb: Rondo, Terry, Pierce, Green and Garnett. Green's spot is the only one truly up for debate in the team's closing 5, but based upon his performance in the preseason so far, it's hard to leave him out of this group. Offense has been the C's biggest problem over the last couple years with their inability to manufacture points, and there is no place that issue has loomed larger for Boston than at the end of close contests. These five players are Boston's best offensive weapons at each of their positions, which should help make the fourth-quarter scoring droughts strictly an unpleasant memory. The one caveat of this lineup however will be the rebounding, particular on the defensive end. Green, Pierce and Rondo all need to bring their hard hats and hit the glass if they still plan on making the stops necessary to close out games.
Forsberg: You guys are all over it again. I think the Avery Bradley (when healthy) and Bass combo might make the most sense around the Big Three at the start of games, but Boston will likely lean on Terry's experience and Green's versatility down the stretch. So long as Terry can be a serviceable defender and Green can help Garnett on the glass, that combination truly does give Boston its best overall talent, particularly on the offensive side, to snap the late-game scoring lulls we've seen far too many times in recent seasons. And, when all else fails, follow the money: Boston will have five of its six most expensive contracts on the floor with the Rondo-Terry-Pierce-Green-Garnett lineup (only Bass, at $6 million per season, would be off the floor; both Terry and Lee will make $5 million this season). That's why you get paid the big bucks.

Visit HD Porn Pass
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
If you're tired of low-quality videos and sparse variety, then HD Porn Pass might be just what you need. It's a mega-site that's overflowing with diverse high-quality porn. You get full access to 21 websites and they include raunchy anal fucking, busty chicks, interracial sex, lesbians and reality porn. There are several mega porn sites that claim they're tops, so let's see if this one is a worthy competitor.
If a site has a lot of content from a lot of sites, it has to be easy to browse and HDPornPass is. You can surf the individual sites by clicking on the "exclusive sites" link in the menu bar at the top. Big preview thumbnails for Busty Solos and Cable Guy Sex will appear in front of your eyes. You can also just pick a site from the dropdown menu. If you just want to see all the videos and photos from all of the sites you can go through the separate sections.
There are 1,501 videos and 2,196 photo galleries. The videos can be streamed in a large embedded Flash player or you can save two sizes of Windows Media and MP4 files. The largest WMVs provide high-def playback. The production qualities are high and the performances will give your libido more than a lift, especially when you can watch pros like Puma Swede, Nikki Rhodes and Eva Angelina getting it on.
Some movies are broken up into two parts and it doesn't seem like the parts are listed in succession in the video section, so maybe the best way to find the clips together is to take note of the performer's name and search her out in the pornstar index or go right to the individual site's homepage. Speaking of the performers, you can rate them (and the material) and find out a few facts about them from their bio page.
There's a mix of hardcore action and glamour shots in the photos. Sexy naked babes can be enjoyed in high-res images and you can save them in two sizes of Zip file. The galleries are all neatly labeled with the site they come from. The Hot Teens Kissing galleries are packed with petite teen lesbians and the New Solos galleries are really smoking hot with babes plunging their depths of their holes.
Apart from the sites I've already mentioned, you can also drool over spicy and exotic Indian babes on India Uncovered, watch kinky hotties tug cock on Jerk It Bitch and masturbate to some sexy squirting sirens on Slutty Squirters. There are two shemale sites for those who also want to see some hot chicks who rock big dicks. Asians, monster cocks and gagging blowjobs are also covered.
The main problem I have with this site is the update situation. While the dates are current, the photo count hasn't budged since our last visit and the amount of movies has only risen by two. This most likely means that the sites are rotating their content. That's a bummer, but with all this content, it might only be a buzzkill.
If you're a one-stop-shop type of person and need a good porn fix, then you'll appreciate HD Porn Pass. With tons of high-quality material and extra videos from some solo girl and reality porn sites, the site is easy to recommend. Plus, the price is standard and the content is exclusive. It just stinks that they've stopped adding new porn.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 30% Date: 09/05/2011
HD PornPass is a sub-par site.
Pros - variety of content, quality is not bad.
Cons - Not HD or at least could of fooled me, looks like just regular DVD quality.
Borrowed content from Videobox.
BIG CON - can't download any of the scenes as one file. You have to download multiple clips. So some scenes you have to have 4 separate files.
WTF is up with that, no option to download the whole scene in one file.
Bottom line. Don't waste your money. There are other great porn sites out there with real HD quality videos and you can download them as one file.
Score: N/A Date: 12/10/2009
They say you can have a 3 day pass for $1.80 but when you join you can't get shit without upgrading. This is bull shit.
Score: 30% Date: 08/10/2009
Heaven and hell are, of course, a function of what you like. A lot of anal fans will be in heaven here.
Score: 100% Date: 06/08/2009
excellent FULLHD porn lots of content very big hd video files but amazing quality videos split in 2 downloads great facials blowjobs anal all sorts worth a months membership

Populist anti-toll bill filed in US Senate by Sen KB Hutchinson - ANALYSIS
US Senator from Texas Kay Bailey Hutchinson (Repub) has filed a bill S2109 (download text here) which purports to prohibit tolls on existing untolled interstates. The bill is so poorly drafted it is difficult to know whether to take it seriously.
Section 1 is titled "Prohibition on imposition and collection of tolls on certain highways constructed (NOTE: past tense) using federal funds". Then under definitions "The term 'federal highway facility' means any highway, bridge or tunnel on the Interstate System that is (NOTE: present tense) constructed using federal funds."
The garbled tenses make it unclear whether S2109 means to ban tolls on interstates built in the past with federal funds (the title's past tense) or to prevent tolling of highways being built now with some federal funds (the definition's present tense).
The present tense used in that definition in the Hutchinson bill seems to emasculate it. It could be interpreted to exempt all the existing facilities already constructed from a toll ban.
The bill's use of the term "federal highway facility" for interstates is very odd too.
No "interstate" highway facility we can think of is owned or operated by the federal government. The interstate highways are all state highway facilities because states hold legal title to them and operate them, even though most of the untolled interstates were built with federal aid as well as state funds, and had to obtain federal permits.
Most true "federal highway facilities" are 2-lane roads within federal property such as national parks and US military bases. We can't think of any of these federal highway facilities that are interstates. The Baltimore Washington Parkway owned and operated by the National Park Service is one federal highway facility that approaches interstate standards - 2+2 lanes, limited access and grade separations. But it is not designated an interstate! It is MD295. The same is true of the Dulles Airport Access Road. It too is not an Interstate, but part of a state route - VA267.
The Hutchinson bill says under a heading "Prohibition" that on interstates misdescribed as federal highway facilities the secretary of transportation shall not permit tolls on roads "in existence" on the date of enactment and which have no tolls on them on the date of the enactment.
When a road comes into "existence" is left to the imagination or to litigation - when it is studied, planned, permitted, given a designation, under construction, open to traffic?
Then there are the Hutchinson exemptions. Texan politicians are adept at striking a pose with a prohibition then throwing in a heap of obscure exemptions. Exempt from the tolling prohibition in S2109 are interstates on which tolls are being collected on the enactment date under "a tolling provision." The "tolling provision" definition lists some of the various existing programs for tolling in federal law.
This is a mess too, maybe deliberately so.
The first exemption refers to section 129 of title 23USC which is virtually the whole of federal law on transportation! Does she mean that?
Then several but not all of the federal tolling programs are listed as exempt.
Current federal law allows a lot of tolling
Under current law (23 USC Section 129) the Feds can financially support many types of toll activities:
(1) initial construction of non-Interstate tollroads, bridges, and tunnels
(2) reconstruction, resurfacing, restoring, and rehabilitation work on any existing toll facility
(3) reconstruction or replacement of free bridges or tunnels and conversion to tolling
(4) reconstruction of a free non-Interstate federal-aid highway (except on the Interstate System) and conversion to a toll facility
(5) feasibility studies on toll financing of these facilities
(6) TIFIA loan funds
(7) private activity bonds giving approved privately financed (PPP) toll projects tax exemption
Most toll facilities do not make use of this funding, but many do.
When Federal-aid funds are used for construction of or improvements to a toll facility or if a free highway, bridge or tunnel previously constructed with Federal-aid funds is to be converted to a toll facility, federal law requires a toll agreement between the state and the feds limiting the use of revenues to operations and upkeep, reasonable return to service capital (Section 129(a)(3) must be executed.) There are dozens of these agreements and no limit to their number.
Also federal law supports several programs for tolls on roads including interstates:
(1) value pricing or variable toll rates or congestion pricing on interstates and non-interstates alike has been supported by the US Government under all the five yearly laws passed since ISTEA in 1991 and there are scores of these in operation, or being studied and planned
(2) HOV to HOT lane conversions with tolls
(3) Express Lanes Demonstration projects [Section 1604(b)] proides for up to 15 projects for tolling express lanes with tolling varied in order to manage traffic and reduce congestion
(4) Interstate System Construction Toll Pilot Program [Sec 1604(c)] provides for up to three interstates to be tolled to fund new capacity
(5) Grants under the Urban Partnerships program all of which are required to have tolling to manage traffic and reduce congestion
(6) toll express lanes that provide for free flowing bus transit are eligible for Federal Transit Administration grants
see http://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/tolling_pricing/announcement/tolling_announcement.htm
A freeze on all future tolling on interstates?
Hutchinson's bill might be interpreted to outlaw any further use of these toll programs if taken literally, though it doesn't specifically repeal any of them! It attempts to freeze all these programs when tolls are not actually being collected on the date of enactment.
What possible logic is there in enacting a ban on tolling existing interstates when other federally supported roads remain free to toll?
In the Dallas area that would mean for example that toll lanes would not be allowed on the major highway to the northwest out of Dallas I-35E, but they would be allowed on another federally supported highway going to the northeast (US75). The only difference is that one has an interstate designation, while the other has a US-route designation. They are both federally supported expressways.
Federal Hutchlaw would ban toll lanes on one, allow them on the other.
Ban sought on tolling bought back interstates
S2109 also adds a prohibition on tolls on interstates bought back by states. But if a state repaid all past federal aid, and the road was state owned, state operated and state maintained, how would federal law have any standing to dictate how it was to be funded?
Hutchinson's unreal rationale
"My bill will protect drivers from paying tolls on roads that were already paid for by taxpayers," Hutchinson says in a press statement.
But a road is never "paid for."
Roads go on costing into the future because:
- they deteriorate under traffic and weather
- they need to be maintained
- they need to be rebuilt
- they need to be added to.
"Paid for roads" (PFRs) is a nonsense. PFRs exist only in an uniformed imagination, in catchcries and slick slogans, in mindless one-liners. We have to go on paying for roads, and the costs of upkeep and reconstruction are destined to dwarf what was originally spent on them.
Backward perspective
Taxes may have funded the road as it exists, but focusing on that is a backward academic perspective. It is history, not policy. Policy needs to have a forward perspective. The present and future challenge is how best to finance upkeep, finance the periodic reconstruction, and finance improvements.
Financing mechanisms are not just about raising money either. They are about balancing supply and demand with a price mechanism (or a zero price) and about assessing where money should be allocated.
Past financing is irrelevant since the issue is how best to finance for the future.
Another Hutchinson statement was: "I will work with members of the Texas Congressional delegation and the state legislature to ensure that Texans are never asked to pay a toll on an existing interstate highway."
But what is an existing interstate highway? If much of the existing pavement and bridging is torn out, and new and more lanes built, is it still the "existing interstate highway"? Hardly, except perhaps for the signage. In the reality of what the road is physically, and in the service it offers motorists it is a "new interstate highway," not an existing one.
Does Hutchinson seriously want the federal government to bar tolling even on additional lanes in Texas interstates? That would cut the heart out of the 2030 plans of the North Central Texas Council of Governments for the Dallas Ft Worth metro area and similar plans in the Houston area. Most of the new capacity planned is to be tolled. (see map nearby)
COMMENT: The senator's bill is full of what she's against - it offers no alternative to tolls for funding or managing traffic better than the gridlocked and unfunded "free" interstates.
Politicians often file silly bills in order to gain plaudits from a noisy constituency without wanting them to become law. Hopefully this is just one of those posturing bills.
Reassuring is a reminder in Hutchinson's accompanying statement that she attempted to insert a measure just like this in the 2005 highway bill but it failed. But this shoddy, pandering bill is nevertheless irresponsible mischief. It promotes populist fantasies and would put new obstacles in the way of reform of highway financing.
Another bill coming
Congressmen Len Boswell (Dem Iowa) and Terry Lee (Repub Nebraska) are are seeking support for a bill in the House of Representatives called the Toll Road Prohibition Act of 2007. Despite the sweeping title its actual scope would be quite limited according to a "Dear Colleague" letter. The bill would require federal funds spent on an interstate highway to be repaid to the US Government before the road could be concessioned to private investors.
The letter says: "The American people should not be required to pay for the same highway twice - once through their tax dollars and again through new state tolls on federal interstate highways."
It also questions tolling untolled interstates saying "there is very litle available research demonstrating the safety, congestion, environmental, and economic effects, which could be substantial."
COMMENT: Toll roads are much safer than free roads based on fatalities per hundred million vehicle miles traveled - probably because they are better maintained and policed. They are also less congested, because they have their own dedicated staffs and their own revenue stream for improvements. Variable toll rates can also be used to prevent breakdown in flow. Tolling the interstates should therefore lead to� substantial� benefits.

Is there a list floating around somewhere of LBS' with some touring knowledge? I'm in Bowling Green, Ky and while we have two good shops, neither know the first thing about touring, nor do they carry touring bikes or supplies. I would like to be able to see how different bikes fit and be able to see gear in real life (instead of on the internet) before I buy it. Does anyone know of any shops in western Ky or northern Tn?
Also, if there isn't a list out there, maybe we should start one and sticky it with some way of showing whether the shop is knowledgable of touring or just good for repairs. It seems like it would be helpful to those riding in the states in unfamiliar territory.

Samsung wants to change our perception of the smartphone even as it remains the big constant in the industry. So in Samsungs scheme of things the smartphone can become your notepad, your smartwatch and even a 360-degree virtual entertainment screen. The Korean company has been endeavouring to achieve the first the first two for a few years now, but the third is a completely new front in innovation.
On the sidelines of the annual IFA tech show in Berlin, the Korean tech giant on Wednesday announced the fourth verison of its flagship device, the Galaxy Note. The Galaxy Note 4 will be an upgrade in many ways, primarily with its note-taking abilities thanks to the improved S Pen and the addition of the Smart Select and Snap Note features that add new functionalities the former lets you clip and share just a small part of the screen, the latter lets you clip just a part of the new photo even as you take it.
The phone will also have a 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED 2560x1440p screen which will set it apart from other such screen in the market and a 16MP rear camera to make use of this screen. The selfie culture gripping the world gets a new boost with the addition of a 120-degree wide angle lens to the 3.7MP front camera.
While the phone will be powered by a 2.7 GHz quad-core processor, we in India are most likely to see the 1.9 GHz Octa-Core (1.9GHz Quad + 1.3GHz Quad-Core) version as was the case witht the Samsung Galaxy S5. The Note 4 has an improved fingerprint scanner which blends well into the familiar design language.
But the real innovation here has come in the form of a new device called the called the Note Edge, which adds a curved screen extention to the Note 4. The rest of the device is the same, but the curved glass just gives it a new dimension by displaying news tickers from partners like Yahoo, or just showing your notifications or night clock in a more subtle manner.Though both the Note devices will hit the market in October, the Edge will not make it to all countries.
Pushing the innovation a step ahead, the Note 4 will power a completely new form factor called the Gear VR. This is basically a wearable virtual reality goggle like the Oculus Rift, but powered entirely

UC Berkeley Sweethearts Tie The Knot in Iconic SF Locale
Mark and Christie met as undergraduates at UC Berkeley, live in Cow Hollow, and showcased their love for the Bay Area with a SF-centric wedding last year.
Their nuptials featured soft purple and pink colors and lots of colorful lighting including a large Christmas tree in the James Leary Flood Mansion. The bride looked beautiful in a lace gown by Jin Wang with sparkling bow-shaped earrings. The groom and his party looked dapper in their suits - with engraved flasks secretly stashed in every man's pocket. The couple made sure to snap shots at all of the city's most iconic locales.
A Google bus whisked the bridal party to the reception, which featured a white-themed candy bar as well as a classic wedding cake. As the night went on, Larry Lynch and the Mob brought the house down and the newlyweds danced the night away before heading off on their island honeymoon to Bora Bora.

Nature has its own ways of repurposing its subjects. Vultures might feed on a dying animal, and bacteria consume whats left. Better that than cadavers piling up. The U.S. financial system has even less tolerance for clutter. Sickly banks are often killed failed is the polite term and sold quickly to healthy ones, so as not to spook customers.
In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008, federal regulators essentially decided they needed more vultures. They expanded the pool of bidders for failing banks by creating shelf charters, which allow approved private-equity groups to sit on inactive charters while raising funds. Bankers with ties to the Queen City hope to take advantage of that opportunity and make money while cleaning up the carnage. Clearly, theres a fair amount of repair to the banking sector thats necessary, and I wanted to be part of that repair process, says Brian Simpson, a former capital-markets executive at Charlotte-based First Union Corp. whos now CEO of Union National Holdings LLC.
Union National and another Charlotte-based group, Blue Ridge Bank NA, have applied for shelf charters. Union National plans to raise $2 billion. Blue Ridge led by CEO Milton Jones, who retired last year as president of Bank of America Corp.s Georgia market wants to raise $1 billion.
They should have plenty of prey. U.S. bank failures are on the rise 86 in just the first half of this year, compared with 140 in all of 2009. And the Queen City is an ideal base of operations, says Joseph A. Smith Jr., the states commissioner of banks. There are a lot of high-quality bank executives in Charlotte with experience.
But the trend is hardly exclusive to North Carolina. Were also seeing a lot of private-equity investors doing this in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, says Tony Plath, associate professor of finance at UNC Charlotte. In June, North American Financial Holdings Inc., with headquarters in Charlotte and Jacksonville, Fla., agreed to buy control of struggling TIB Financial Corp., based in Naples, Fla., for $175 million. North American CEO Gene Taylor was BofAs head of corporate and investment banking until 2007. Investors include retired BofA CEO Hugh McColl.
While the potential buyers see an opportunity in ailing banks, the takeover targets know the other side of the equation. Its essentially a Faustian bargain: sell your soul to private equity, Plath says. The process isnt pretty, but, at the end of the day, thats what it will take to rebuild the industry.

Louis F. Harrelson cut plenty of deals in his 55-year career in car sales, but none were bigger than the one that kept him out of jail. Paying more than $1 million in fine and restitution, the 80-year-old former president of Charlotte-based Harrelson Automotive Group Inc. pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bank fraud. Federal prosecutors say he allowed employees to file false loan applications for customers, defrauding at least seven lenders who claim they lost a total of $1.2 million. The employees inflated trade-in values and lied about applicants monthly incomes. In June, Judge Frank Whitney approved the plea agreement, which calls for $972,000 in restitution and a $50,000 fine. It forced Harrelson to resign from all management and supervisory positions in the automotive industry and stay out of dealerships owned by him or his family for two years.
CHARLOTTE New York-based Citco Fund Services (USA) opened an office here and plans to create 258 jobs within five years. It provides services to hedge funds and other financial organizations. The jobs will pay an average of $78,256 a year. The Mecklenburg County average is $48,770.
SALISBURY Canadian auto-parts maker Magna Composites will expand three North Carolina factories and add 327 jobs within four years. It employs about 360 at plants near here, Lenoir and Newton. The local plant will gain 183 workers, while the Lenoir plant will add 134.
SHELBY Clearwater Paper, a Spokane, Wash.-based maker of bathroom tissue and paper towels, plans to build a warehouse and factory that will employ about 250 within five years. Pay will average about $38,000 a year. The Cleveland County average is $31,200.
CHARLOTTE Bank of America agreed to pay $108 million to settle federal claims against Countrywide Financial, the mortgage lender it purchased in 2008. The Federal Trade Commission says Countrywide, prior to its acquisition, charged excessive fees to struggling home buyers.
CHARLOTTE BofA also opened a 32-story tower that features conference rooms with living trees, floor-to-ceiling windows and cubicles with personal cooling and heating units. The building, part of a $540 million project that includes a Ritz-Carlton hotel, wont be finished till next year.
CHARLOTTE Snack maker Lance laid off about 2% of its workforce, about 100 people, as part of a cost-cutting effort expected to save $6 million a year. It employs about 1,200 here but wouldnt say how many local jobs were lost.
CONCORD Charlotte Motor Speedway and parent Speedway Motorsports dropped a lawsuit against the city and Cabarrus County, hoping to resolve differences over a 2007 agreement that promised incentives of $80 million if the company built a $60 million drag strip and upgraded the racetrack. At issue is the timetable for the incentives.
CHARLOTTE In an effort to protect itself against what it sees as unjust asbestos-liability claims, EnPro Industries placed a subsidiary, gasket maker Garlock Sealing Technologies, in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Garlock, based in Palmyra, N.Y., says it intends to pay all creditors in full. EnPro makes diesel engines, seals and other products.
CHARLOTTE An arbitrator ordered Wachovia to pay businessman Cameron Harris and his wife $10 million. The arbitrator found the bank partly responsible for the couples default on some loans because it ignored or refused their requests to exchange shares of Wachovia for Bank of America stock. Still pending is the Harrises suit claiming Wachovia lied about the banks poor health before it was sold in 2008 (Regional report, April).

Valuing the Environment: Courts' Struggles with Natural Resource Damages
Thompson, Dale B., Environmental Law
How much is a dead seal worth? How much is a day at the beach worth? How much is the Grand Canyon worth? These are questions that courts have faced, or might face in the future, in efforts to protect natural resources. Many people, however, have raised significant moral and ethical objections to valuing the environment in this manner. Furthermore, courts seem ill-prepared to satisfactorily answer these questions.
In the late 1980s, new economic techniques (1) seemed to offer the means to answer these questions. The shining star of these new techniques was the contingent valuation method (CVM). (2) Initially used in the early 1960s, CVM became the subject of significant research in the mid- to late-1980s, because it seemed to offer the only means for calculating what is called "nonuse values" (3) for natural resources.
In the midst of the advancement of these techniques came perhaps the most significant case addressing natural resource damages (NRD), (4) Ohio v. United States Department of Interior (Ohio). (5) In this case, Ohio and other states challenged the regulations written by the Department of the Interior (Interior or DOI) to specify techniques for estimating natural resource damages claimed under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund). (6) In overturning these regulations, the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit laid out two general principles: 1) The principal purpose of natural resource damages is to restore the resource, and thus, damages should be based primarily on "restoration costs" (7) rather than on "use values;" and 2) "nonuse value" damages should be compensated, using the contingent valuation method.
After the Ohio court announced its support for contingent valuation, a study using the CVM technique to calculate nonuse values estimated that possible damages in the Exxon Valdez case were approximately nine billion dollars. (8) In Southern California, a CVM study in United States v. Montrose Chemical Corp. (9) estimated that damages were over half of a billion dollars. (10)
The Ohio decision opened the door to potentially enormous damage claims and generated significant debate among legal scholars, il Furthermore, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), charged with drafting regulations under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), (12) assembled a "blue ribbon panel," including two Nobel Prize winners in economics, to determine whether it would be possible to implement this decision. (13) However, this debate and the panel's analysis have been general and abstract. Now, twelve years after Ohio, there is the opportunity to examine how these principles have held up in practice.
Implementation of these principles requires introducing economic evidence in litigation to prove natural resource damages. Natural resource damages present a significant challenge for the legal system because in most cases they are non-market commodities. (14) As such, widely-accepted, traditional methods of valuation that rely on market prices are frequently not applicable. Instead, litigators will need to employ other economic techniques for determining monetary damages in NRD cases.
A problem arises in applying these economic techniques in a legal forum. The legal system requires evidence to possess a certain level of certainty and concreteness. (15) While market-based methods of valuation are widely accepted, non-market techniques may not be able to achieve these levels of certainty and concreteness. "Unfortunately, in the frenzy of litigation pressure, these often unrefined or experimental [non-market] valuation methods have been pushed beyond their methodological parameters and have resulted in damage claims of highly questionable validity." (16) Thus, courts will grapple with the validity of economic evidence in NRD cases. …

I run Parallels. Can't say about the scope, but if you have a Skyfi, should great together. Now regarding the LPI, again I think it will only run in Windows. If BTW you ever consider a active USB extension cable, the MACs seem to be finicky with them too and recognizing cams like the LPI/DSI via the virtual OS.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 01:45 AM
A check on the Canon sight seems to show there is Mac software to run the Canon 20D. I can say for certainty that there is Mac OS based software for the Canon 60 Da - I run it all the time.

Wasn't sure to post this in Rants and Raves or Other Games. Feel free to rant and rave anyway.
With guns drawn and flashlights cutting through darkened rooms, Polk County undercover drug investigators stormed the home of convicted drug dealer Michael Difalco near Lakeland in March.
As investigators searched the home for drugs, some drug task force members found other ways to occupy their time. Within 20 minutes of entering Difalco's house, some of the investigators found a Wii video bowling game and began bowling frame after frame.
While some detectives hauled out evidence such as flat screen televisions and shotguns, others threw strikes, gutter balls and worked on picking up spares.
A Polk County sheriff's detective cataloging evidence repeatedly put down her work and picked up a Wii remote to bowl. When she hit two strikes in a row, she raised her arms above her head, jumping and kicking.
While a female detective lifted a nearby couch looking for evidence, another sheriff's detective focused on pin action.
But detectives with the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the Auburndale, Lakeland and Winter Haven police departments did not know that a wireless security camera connected to a computer inside Difalco's home was recording their activity.
Good stuff; there's a link to the video too. The chick who hit two strikes in a row should be shot. Tax payers dollars at work. Polk County is full of whitetrash, so I doubt most of those cops could afford a Wii for their own trailers, so when they came across one of those "videogaming machines" they had to stop the drug raid they were on in favor of experiencing it first hand. Give it up for Wii Bowling and it's appeal to people of all ages, jobs and other responsibilities.

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

We have recently implemented the conference / chat room feature. Most users are using the Pidgin front end, though some are experimenting with other XMPP IM clients.
We are using Zimbra version 6.0.4._GA_2038_UBUNTU8
For some reason the kick command does not work.
If I type /help kick, I DO get:
kick <user> [reason]: Kick a user from the room.
If I try:
/kick username zombie
/kick username "zombie"
Nothing happens, no error message, nothing.
If I try:
/kick firstname.lastname@example.com zombie
I get:
Unable to kick user firstname.lastname@example.com
I am room owner.
Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong here, and where I could gather more troubleshooting information? Or is this feature not actually implemented yet?

Gaynell Rose returns Jan. 26-27 to Abbott's Grill in Milford
Abbott's Grill is kicking off 2013 with another event in its popular Spotlight Jazz Dinner Series, bringing back international recording artist Gaynell Rose and her talented band of musicians Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 26 and 27.
Attendees will enjoy a four-course dinner prepared by the chefs at Abbott's Grill while enjoying an electrifying performance of rhythm and blues and jazz classics. Rose has been described as soulful and dynamic, and her shows captivate audiences.
Combining the tortured passions of Billie Holiday, the raw emotion of Joe Cocker and the diva strut of Tina Turner (GaynellRose.com) Rose has wowed audiences opening for Patti Labelle and has played festivals from New York and Washington, D.C., to Guadalajara, Mexico.
Owner/chef Kevin Reading is thrilled about the return of Rose, calling it a can't-miss event. "She was our first performer in our Jazz Dinner Series and got such a positive reaction from the crowd that we couldn't wait to have her back," he said.
Each event will begin at 7 p.m. and will feature two sets of music and a four-course dinner. Tickets are $65 per person and can be reserved by calling Abbott's Grill at 302-491-6736 or go to abbottsgrill.com.

Hi all. I'm an 18 y/o college student riding around Columbia, MO on a 1999 Diamondback Viper. I may get into BMX (we have a dirt track and a skate park, I hear) ...but for now...
Yes, yes, if you know what I'm talking about, hold your applause; If you're confused, imagine: when a city is built, all the creeks in the area don't just go away, they're put in tunnels. Plus, even more tunnels need to be built, or else water that would normally just sink into the ground would sit on asphalt streets. Thus: drains are born! And of course, the kicker for me (and you too) is that since drains are built to suck down the hugest storms, but they rarely have to, they often have just an inch or two of water. Great to ride in!
Don't worry kids, it's safe, clean fun! Go in drains (with a bike)!

GNU rm fileutils Race Condition Problems on SuSE
A security vulnerability arises from the fact that there is a race
condition while recursively-removing directory structures from
world-writeable directories. This vulnerability causes the rm(1) command
to be vulnerable to an attack that allows a local user to remove arbitrary
directories (and files) from the system.
Vulnerable systems:
SuSE Linux version 7.3 and prior
Problem description:
There is an exploitable call to the vulnerable rm -rf command in
/etc/cron.daily/aaa_base_clean_core as follows:
# paranoia settings
umask 022
export PATH
rm -rf $TMPDIR
This script is run every day as ROOT even if the user did not set the
DELETE_OLD_CORE variable in /etc/rc.config.
Technical details:
As pointed out by <mailto:mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> Wojciech Purczynski there
is a race condition in the GNU 'rm' utility while removing directories
recursively. In particular it is possible to create a deeply nested
directory structure in /tmp, wait for removal of one of the leafs and
quickly move the directory root 2 levels up. This will force rm to
chdir("..") two levels more than intended, resulting in the removal of the
complete file system.
An exploit code will not be released, but exploitation is very
straightforward, since the race window can be made mostly as big as needed
(it is even possible to exploit this vulnerability 'by hand'). One needs
to create a directory structure like this:
And wait for the removal of the 'N' leaf. This can be easily accomplished
since the clean_core script is called at a very well defined time (between
0:15:00 and about 0:15:15 every day) - so we can create X of those nested
directories, wait until 15:00, get the next PID and begin to move those
directories to match the next X PIDs. Guessing the next PID can be done by
reading /proc/stat and evaluating the 'processes' entry (or less elegant
by continuous forking.

Ameren would be able to include Bagnell Dam as renewable energy under a measure heard by the House Utilities Committee Wednesday, Jan. 30.
In 2008, Missouri voters approved Proposition C, which requires electric utilities to generate a portion of their power from renewable energy.
The proposal, however, limits to smaller hydroelectric facilities what can be counted to comply with the requirement. The measure before the House committee would allow hydroelectric facilities of any size to be included.
Supporters of the bill, including Trey Davis, president of the Missouri Energy Development Association, said wind and solar power have an unfair advantage right now under Proposition C. He said since higher quantities of hydropower would not count, the creation of solar and wind power is in higher demand.
"Contrary to the folks on the other side's belief, this is not because we don't want to invest in renewables," Davis said.
Davis said this proposition promised to create jobs, but he says the way it is hydropower plants are not encouraged to expand and create jobs. He added that the advantage solar and wind power plants have could cause hydropower to scale back and kill jobs.

NEC Australia announces technology plans for 2012
NEC Australia signs NBN Co Wholesale Broadband Agreement
NEC technology showcase at Field Service Management Conference
Reliable voice and data communications
NEC Australia has announced its technology plans for the year ahead and initiatives to achieve its ambitious corporate vision of being Australia's leading communications systems integrator by 2014.
NEC Australia's business transformation is the culmination of several internal technology upgrades and strategic management realignments throughout 2011 that unify its services and solutions portfolio across managed services, biometrics, mobility, video, unified communications, network services, contact centre and cloud communications.
"NEC Australia will enter FY2012 in a strong position following the successful transformation of our business this year, driving forward as an organisation that delivers integrated communications and services and providing Australian businesses with greater business value from their communications investment," states Alan Hyde, Managing Director of NEC Australia and NEC New Zealand.

NEC Australia has signed the NBN Co Wholesale Broadband Agreement, clearing the path to expand its already comprehensive high-speed wholesale broadband service portfolio across Australia. NECA expects to be able to offer customers and partners a range of higher bandwidth, high-speed broadband services via the NBN by mid 2012.
The agreement with NBN Co allows NEC Australia to further invest in its existing DSLAM-based wholesale broadband and third party networks, which covers 92 per cent of the Australian population -- one of the largest in the country. Read more
This week, NEC Australia is exhibiting at the Field Service Management Conference at the Australian Technology Park, Sydney. On display is the NEC Mobile Access Controller (MAC), an in-vehicle communications platform that provides reliable voice and data coverage for remote field based and emergency workers, as well as significant OH&S benefits.
The innovative MAC technology improves fleet contact, safety, efficiency and reduces cost. Its higher levels of network coverage are achieved by best utilising the coverage of existing networks without requiring investment in the expansion of private radio networks.
For many organisations operating vehicle fleets, communications plays an important role in productivity. However, several concepts introduced under new state government laws in the Model Work Health and Safety Act, mean that fleet communications is likely to gain importance in determining the safety of the vehicle as a workplace. Any consideration of fleet safety compliance will need to factor in what is 'reasonably practicable' to have avoided an incident, as well as what steps could have been taken to minimise or eliminate the risk of harm.
When a leading Australian energy utility required the provision of a safe working environment with a comprehensive emergency reporting system and reliable voice and data messaging communications in urban, rural and remote environments, they turned to NEC to show them how.
NEC Australia recently rolled out a comprehensive emergency reporting system and a mobile communications platform to an organisation's 2000+ mobile workforce. The implemented solution was based on NEC Australia's sophisticated Mobile Access Controller (MAC), an in-vehicle technology platform that provides fleet operators with highly reliable voice and data services in the field, as well as significant OH&S benefits.
