Rational expectations theory
Rational expectations theory which is based on rational choice theory is used in game theory and may macroeconomic models. It was formulated by the American economist John Muth in 1961 and has been in vogue 1970's thanks to Robert E. Lucas Jr., Stanley Fischer and others.
In essence it is a theory that says that individual expectations of specific events in the future may be in error but on average they are correct. It assumes that individual expectations are not systematically biased and that individuals use all relevant information is reaching a decision on the best course for their economic future without bias.
In other words people will make the right decision more often and only make a wrong decision infrequently and randomly.
Now there is something that is visceral about this theory because it includes all of us in its definition. And it says we are reasonable and will continue to acquire information until the point of diminishing returns to come to a valid judgement. Now how can anyone disagree with that? They would be calling themselves incompetent or biased at the very least. And of course we all know we are neither.
But thanks to the Austrian school of economics we know that people make decisions in uncertainty. And in today's world where all markets are manipulated people can't acquire all the information or even acquire factual information. Don't believe markets are manipulated, haven't you been keeping track of high frequency trading, dark pools, shadow banking, the presidents working group on markets (i.e. Plunge Protection Team)?
Another critique of rational expectation theory is that it assumes that a market or the economy as a whole has only one equilibrium point. Leave it to an economist to simplify to absurdity. As all good engineers know a complex system can have many equilibrium points several of which can be small points within highly unstable regions.
Another flaw with the theory is the assumption that a group of individuals will in aggregate act the same as a single individual. Even if all individuals have rational expectations the aggregate of the individuals may not. It has been shown time and time again that a heard mentality can take hold and all rationality is lost even If only for brief instants. However those instants can cause enormous damage and trigger other events.
The response of economists to the apparent flaws in the theory has been to either ignore them or make minor patches. This parallels the path of science in early history. This is one of the reasons that the sun was thought to revolve around the earth for so many centuries. An unwillingness to accept facts as observed over illogical beliefs.

MACON -- The City Council president is floating the idea of a sales-tax referendum to fix up a baseball stadium, hoping to keep the minor-league Macon Braves in town.
The referendum proposed by council President Anita Ponder could include more than $1 million to upgrade Luther Williams Field. The stadium's poor condition is a main sticking point between the team and the city.
''I probably can speak for all of council by saying that having the Braves here is important,'' Ponder said.
Any referendum on a new sales tax would have to be approved by the Bibb County Commission. But keeping the team in Macon may not be that easy.
Mayor Jack Ellis told the council in a letter earlier this month that the Braves' future in Macon ''is not very bright'' and that spending more than $1 million on stadium renovations is ''only a remote possibility.''
Ellis declined to discuss the team's future in an interview with The Macon Telegraph.
The Macon Braves are a Single-A team, a low-level affiliate of major league baseball's Atlanta Braves.
The team's contract with Macon expires in September 2002, leading some city officials to worry that the team may want to relocate. Officials in Rome, in northwest Georgia, say they want to lure a minor league team there by 2003.
Macon has spent $550,000 over the past five to seven years to replace seats, upgrade lighting, replace the outfield fence and apply new paint, said Mike Anthony, the county parks and recreation director.
But the Braves want new concession and ticketing buildings, party suites, new grandstand seats, new dugouts and an elevator in the concourse.
Gimelstob advances in China
SHANGHAI, China -- Justin Gimelstob, the last American in the field, advanced to the second round of the Shanghai Open on Wednesday with a 7-6 (6), 3-6, 6-4 victory over Thailand's Paradorn Srichaphan.
Three Americans were beaten Tuesday, including top-seeded Andre Agassi.
Third-seeded Michel Kratochvil defeated George Bastl 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 in an all-Swiss match to reach the quarterfinals of the $400,000 tournament.
In another second-round match, Takahiro Terachi of Japan downed Michael Tebbutt of Australia 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-1. Tebbutt, ranked No. 351, upset sixth-seeded Andrei Stoliarov of Russia on Tuesday.
Also, Brazil's Andre Sa defeated South Africa's Robbie Koenig 6-3, 3-6, 6-2.
Sanchez-Vicario wins in Tokyo
TOKYO -- Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario breezed past Evie Dominikovic 6-1, 6-3 Wednesday in the first round of the $565,000 Toyota Princess Cup.
The Spaniard, seeded fifth, needed just 50 minutes to win.
''I felt pretty good out there today,'' the three-time French Open champion said. ''I tried to be as aggressive as possible, in particular with my serve.''
In other matches, Liezel Huber eliminated sixth-seeded Iroda Tulyanganova 6-4, 6-1,
and Meilan Tu beat Rachel McQuillan 6-2, 6-2.
In doubles, Kim Clijsters and Ai Sugiyama, runners-up at Wimbledon, defeated Marina Diaz-Oliva and Cristina Torrens-Valero 6-2, 6-0.
Defending champion Serena Williams, Jennifer Capriati and Monica Seles skipped the tournament because of last week's terrorist attacks.
Jackson County teams place third
In a meet held Wednesday at Winder-Barrow, the Jackson County boys and girls cross country teams each finished in third place.
On the girls side, North Hall finished first, Winder Barrow came in second and Elbert County placed fourth. The top finisher for Jackson County was freshman Christina Nowak, whose time of 23:16 was good for third place. The Panthers' Megan Lerette finished fifth in 23:56.
In boys action, Winder-Barrow took the victory, North Hall placed second and Elbert County came in fourth. Jackson County was led by Kelly Parr (17:01, second place) and sophomore Daniel Elder (17:24, fifth place).
The Panthers' next meet is at the Carrollton Invitational, which serves as a state qualifier.

ISLAMABAD–Just days after a horrific Oct. 18 attempt on Benazir Bhutto's life, an attack she survived but 150 others did not, secret documents show senior government officials here moved swiftly – not to ensure Bhutto's safety, but that of two of their own.
An "exhaustive and comprehensive" security plan was quickly approved for both the outgoing prime minister and a senior governing-party official.
But Bhutto went weeks, and possibly longer, without the protection her team demanded.
That revelation, contained in secret government documents obtained by the Toronto Star, may not explain exactly how Bhutto died a week ago today.
But it points to a troubling laxity about security that people in the Bhutto camp believe ultimately contributed to her death.
They say that not only was state security slow in coming, but when it came it was inadequate.
They also emphasize that as a former two-time prime minister – one whose life was in imminent danger – she was entitled under government protocol to the highest security available.
The revelations in these secret documents, reported here for the first time, shed light on the apparent inertia within the government despite the pleas of Bhutto's camp for protection, and could further inflame tensions at a time when critics and diplomatic observers are openly questioning security at the time of her assassination.
"She'd been given warnings," Bhutto confidante and media adviser Sherry Rehman told the Star in an interview. "She was under threat. And she was entitled to that protection. But that was not done."
By contrast it was done – and swiftly – for former prime minister Shaukat Aziz and Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-e-Azam) leader Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, also a former prime minister.
A classified interior ministry document dated Oct. 22 and labelled "SECRET/IMMEDIATE," reads: "In view of the obtaining security environment, impending threats and prevailing law and order situation in the country, arrangements have been approved for the security of Mr. Shaukat Aziz and Ch. Shujaat Hussain as ex-prime ministers. ... It is requested that implementation of these measures be assured."
By contrast, another document notes that as late as Nov. 12, the senior state security officer assigned to ensure Bhutto's safety detail had appealed to state authorities for a wide range of increased protection – to no avail.
The briefing paper notes that request "has not been met so far."
While the author of the briefing paper, Ministry of Interior Secretary Syed Kamal Shah, notes it is "suggested" Bhutto be provided with security in keeping with her status as "an ex-prime minister" – like Aziz, who was to step down in mid-November, and Hussain – he also gave authorities an "out," should they choose to withhold such security.
"It is, however, pointed out that no such security cover is provided to any other opposition leader," he noted.
Pakistan's interior minister, retired Lt.-Gen. Hamid Nawaz, told the Star in an interview yesterday he couldn't vouch for what went on before he was sworn in on an interim basis on Nov. 16. But he insisted Bhutto was ultimately given the "maximum" level of security.
Nawaz did concede, however, that Bhutto had not been provided with bulletproof vehicles as is the protocol for ex-prime ministers. He also conceded there had been problems with the "jammers" that were to have been given to her security team. The devices are designed to "jam" radio signals to prevent terrorists from setting off remote-control bombs.
Except for the jammers, he said, on the day Bhutto died police and state security provided her with everything required.
Nawaz said he believed the jammers were needed elsewhere that day because of a visit by Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Still, just three days before the Dec. 27 rally in Rawalpindi at which Bhutto died – after a gunman opened fire and a suicide bomber detonated an explosive – her security adviser Rehman Malik contacted the interior ministry demanding reliable jammers.
In a Dec. 24 letter, Malik revealed that "in every trip" Bhutto had taken during the election campaign, "the jammers provided ... did not work." He stressed this was "a serious lapse" given that a "serious security threat" had been conveyed to Bhutto's team by a senior ministry official.
Malik said that even the senior state security officer assigned to Bhutto's campaign constantly complained about the state's unwillingness to give him the resources he needed to provide Bhutto with security equal to that of other former prime ministers.
Reached by telephone, the security officer, retired Maj. Imtiaz Hussain, declined to discuss the issue.
Still, Nawaz insisted police and security authorities did their best on Dec. 27.
"The venue was technically swept. There was a bulletproof rostrum. And everyone was physically searched before they were allowed to enter."
In interviews, senior officials in the Bhutto camp disagreed with each of those three claims.
"No sweeping was done," said Malik. "If sweeping had been done, that bomb wouldn't have been there."
"There was no scanning (physical searches)," Bhutto spokesperson Rehman said. "There were hundreds of people going in without any kind of check or security measures."
Protocol for ex-prime ministers at public venues requires "controlled entrances" be erected and that all persons be checked for weapons. There were officials at the open-air venue's main entrance, but the crowds apparently overwhelmed the security detail on duty.
Malik admitted he felt "fear" on more than one occasion at the final rally. He said that while sitting on the stage he could see people moving into the venue in large crowds, rather than in a controlled fashion.
Further, when he strode down the stairs ahead of Bhutto after the speech, he realized there were "no police around" in the immediate area, and that she was exposed and vulnerable at that point.
"Entirely vulnerable," he said. "There had been no security measures taken (near the stage). I was really scared to see all that."
And as they exited the park in Rawalpindi, he noticed the number of police had "thinned" and he could see the exit wasn't securely covered. A police officer on the scene told him that a number of police had been summoned to a shooting at another political gathering about five kilometres away.
"I felt the biggest fear when I could see all the people on the left and the right, and I felt we were a soft target. No civilians should have been allowed there. That area should have been cleared."
It was there, on exiting, that Bhutto's convoy was attacked.
Bhutto's legal adviser, Senator Farooq Naek, said he too had repeatedly written to the interior ministry to press the case for heightened security for Bhutto.
"They wrote to us saying they would provide it," he said. And, for a time they did, he noted, including 24-hour armed guards at her places of residence. "But later on they gradually withdrew."
"With better security no man would have dared to do what was done," Naek said. "The man would not have dared."

ST. PETERSBURG — A gas leak that shut down a block of Central Avenue downtown Thursday morning was repaired and evacuees allowed back into their buildings.
The leak was first reported at Crowley's Downtown, 269 Central Ave., about 8 a.m. Thursday. Another pilot light went out at Fortunato's Italian Market, 259 Central Ave.
Fire crews evacuated buildings along the north side of Central and south side of First Avenue N between Second and Third streets after the leak was reported, authorities said.
Fire crews also shut down gas to the buildings.
Central was blocked to traffic as firefighters investigated the leaks. Fire crews opened windows and doors to let the gas out.
"The best thing we can do is open everything up," said Lt. Joel Granata, St. Petersburg Fire & Rescue spokesman.
By 11:15 a.m., firefighters were packing up and evacuees were being allowed back inside.
It was unclear why the pilot lights went out.

WITH regards to Councillor Stephen Curran's nursery provision comments on Wednesday.
I am a working parent and my daughter attends a partnership nursery in Maryhill.
She began receiving funding in April and I was informed in June that all funded places were being withdrawn as of August.
I cannot see how Councillor Curran can assert that "we want the best for each child in Glasgow and our process ensures we are delivering this".
The advice I received from them was that I should move my daughter from a high quality partnership nursery where she is settled and has formed strong bonds with the staff and other children in order to chase the funding that she is entitled to.
Early years and childcare funding should follow the child not the other way round.

Appeal shock
I was totally shocked and disgusted to read in the Evening Times on Wednesday that Michael Adebowale has been given permission to appeal against his sentence.
Having brutally and intentionally murdered Lee Rigby, an unsuspecting innocent target, it is shocking that taxpayers' money is being spent to allow an appeal to proceed.
Money spent in even keeping him in prison is too much.

Games tickets
I phoned for tickets for the opening ceremony and the only tickets they had left were priced £180 up to £300.
How can ordinary working people in Glasgow afford those prices?
I'm sorry, but they can keep their tickets.

ENCINITAS —— The City Council next week is scheduled to consider adding a fourth pedestrian crossing to three already planned for the railroad in Encinitas.
The crossing would span the tracks between Leucadia Boulevard and La Costa Avenue at either Jason, Hillcrest or Glaucus streets, said Joe Tognoli of T.Y. Lin International, a San Diego firm retained by the city.
"If the City Council approves that request to study the fourth crossing, we'll evaluate the three different sites and present our recommendations to the community a month later in another workshop," Tognoli said Friday.
Tognoli in August presented designs for undercrossings or bridges to span the railroad at Montgomery Avenue, Santa Fe Drive and El Portal Street. Residents favored undercrossings, saying that 30- to 36-foot-tall bridges would obstruct views.
At the workshop at City Hall, some residents demanded a crossing in Leucadia, north of the three that are planned, on the mile-long stretch between Leucadia Boulevard and La Costa Avenue.
"It would only make sense," Mayor Dan Dalager said Friday. "You have to have one, and to have one you better start designing it now."
Officials expect the state to pay back $1.2 million the city is spending to design the three planned crossings. Design work for the three is scheduled for completion in June.
To design a fourth, Encinitas would need to set aside $203,500, which would not be eligible for reimbursement, according to a staff report.
Tognoli has said building the crossings would cost up to $4 million each, for which the city has not identified a funding source.
A railroad crossing in Leucadia would join other public projects under consideration in that community, some of them costly.
Leucadia's commercial district is prone to flooding and officials have said a drainage system to correct the problem would cost more than $30 million.
Even more expensive —— and up to 20 years away from construction —— is an estimated $120 million job to lower the railroad tracks beneath Leucadia Boulevard.
Planning for a pedestrian crossing should dovetail with plans for a drainage system and reconfigured Leucadia Boulevard intersection, Dalager said.
"This is why we want to study it," he said. "I see them all going together."
Encinitas should consider a pedestrian crossing even if lowering the railroad tracks at some point would make the crossing obsolete, Tognoli said.
"Those big, mega-projects —— you can't hang your hat on them," Tognoli said. "What if we got 20 years of usage out of an underpass? I think everyone would agree that's the way to go."
Some young skateboarders agreed a pedestrian crossing near Leucadia Oaks Park would keep them from crossing the tracks illegally.
Four of the skaters sprinted from the park across the railroad tracks to a store on North Coast Highway 101. They ran back with sodas, water and candy.
"When we're here skating we get really thirsty so we have to cross to get water," said Jake Fry, 13.
The City Council meets at 6 p.m. Wednesday at 505 S. Vulcan Ave.

Alaska State Troopers arrested three men following the investigation of a brief crime spree that ended when a small-town resident chased down one of the alleged thieves and held him at gunpoint until authorities arrived.
The criminal jag began earlier this month.
On Aug. 21 troopers responded to a report of a wrecked Subaru Legacy in a ditch outside Tazlina, a small community comprising a few residential subdivisions and a business district, located on the Richardson Highway at mile 110, five miles south of Glennallen.
Troopers determined the car hit the ditch at a high speed, damaging the front and rear bumpers. The Subaru also had been vandalized and stripped of most its contents.
A check of the license plate found the car was listed as stolen three days earlier in of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, about 185 road miles west of the ditch.
Then, on Aug. 24, troopers went to a Tazlina home after receiving a call from a local who informed them he was holding someone who tried to steal his car at gunpoint. When troopers arrived, the local man, Isaac Hofstetter, told troopers he had heard a noise outside of his home, grabbed his gun and went to investigate.
He reportedly spotted two men -- later identified as 18-year old Walter Blackwell and 22-year-old Xavier Aquino, both Anchorage residents -- inside his vehicle. One of them was allegedly trying to start the vehicle, but the men fled on foot when they saw its owner. Within a few hundred yards, the resident caught up with Blackwell, who had stumbled and fell while attempting to get away, troopers reported.
"After he fell, Hofstetter told him not to get up and kept an eye on him until AST arrived," said troopers' spokesperson Megan Peters.
At the trooper post in Glennallen, Blackwell allegedly gave a fake name and birthday. But during a follow-up interview, he gave his true identity. The teen has an extensive rap sheet and was wanted on two separate $500 warrants.
Further investigation resulted in the arrests of Aquino and a 17-year-old from Tazlina.
All three were charged with vehicle theft, multiple counts of criminal mischief and criminal trespass. The stolen vehicle, a total loss, was released to its owner.
Peters said Hofstetter had a right to protect his property and is not being charged in the case, though "(Troopers) encourage citizens to contact law enforcement and not take matters into their own hands."

New Performance Plus Hardwood
Hardwood has always been a popular flooring choice for many homeowners – and home buyers. We love the look of hardwood. But as durable as hardwoods are, many floors will begin to show the effects of an "active" household over time. You know – the dents, dings and scratches that are the result of everyday living. Some homeowners might not install hardwood for just that reason – or they might install it in a room that doesn't get a lot of traffic.
Armstrong Products Featured in Exhibit at Epcot® Theme Park
We're excited to announce Armstrong Flooring and Cabinets are featured in a new exhibit at Epcot at Walt Disney World®, opening late spring, 2012!
VISION House®, which will be located in INNOVENTIONS at Epcot, is the first "green" house built at a Disney theme park. The new exhibit is part of Green Builder® Media's VISION House series, a group of demonstration homes built around the country to showcase green building and sustainable living ideas.
When Do You Buy a New Floor?
It's been a few years now that I've been thinking about replacing the flooring in our home. Yes, I'm quite a procrastinator when it comes to spending money on home improvement projects. To get myself motivated, I came up with 7 reasons for why I need new flooring:
Choosing a Pet-Friendly Floor
When choosing a new floor for my kitchen, my dog, Shasta, had a big say in the floor I picked. Now, I don't want you to think I held up flooring samples and chose the one that got the loudest bark. It was more subtle than that. I looked for floors that are particularly pet-friendly – that is, they're durable and scratch-resistant.

Police: Duo used counterfeit credit cards at stores across metro area
BEAVERTON, Ore. - Beaverton police on Saturday arrested two men who they said had more than 100 counterfeit credit cards and other documents containing credit card numbers.
Yasser Hernandez, 28, and Raul Gonzalez-Rodriguez, 26, each face aggravated identity theft charges. Police say more charges are pending.
The two men are from Miami. Police said they arrived in Portland on March 26.
Someone with Nordstrom Loss Prevention told police that the duo was most likely using fake credit cards, according to Beaverton police spokesman Mike Rowe. The two men targeted stores in the Portland metro area including Nordstrom, Staples, Office Depot, Toys R Us, Burlington Coat Factory, Nordstrom Rack, Dick's Sporting Goods, Sears, JC Penny and TJ Maxx.
License plate number big clue
According to court documents, the woman with Nordstrom loss prevention provided police with video surveillance of the suspects and the license plate number of the car they were driving.
It turned out that license plate was a major clue in tracking down the suspects.
Police said they discovered the car was registered to Avis Rental Car at Portland International Airport. They then used that lead to get the phone number that Gonzalez-Rodriguez had used to rent the car. They called him and told him the car needed to be returned to Avis because it had a mechanical problem, according to the court documents.
Police said that's exactly what the suspects did, and they were arrested just before 5:30 p.m. Saturday by Port of Portland police officers.
In addition to more than 100 counterfeit credit cards, police recovered cash, high-end watches, perfumes, electronics and more than $10,000 in gift cards.
Officers took the pair to the Washington County Jail. Gonzalez-Rodriguez had a warrant out of Idaho for the same crime, police said.

Just for those running into the same problem. If you want to process the response you actually have to add a success callback. For example:
apex.server.process( "AJAX_TEST", {}, { dataType: "text", success: function( pData ) { alert( "AJAX response: " + pData ); } });

What's being said
Yeah, sure. Orie Melvin gets a stay on her light sentence. But let Tyrone from up the block get caught stealing a snicker bar. How many stay will his sentence receive? Melvin should be sentenced to hard time underneath SCI-Graterford for pretending to be "honorable" and abusing her authority. And so should the trial judge who gave her that "creative" sentence. How many "creative" sentences would an average citizen get for the same thing? Yeah, sure. Go Pa.
Did Zappala ever answer the question why his name didn't appear on 2007 and 2008 tax forms for the PCA?
"It's unclear what (the senior) Zappala did for the PCA; he's not mentioned on its 2007 and 2008 federal tax forms," the Allentown Morning Call pondered in 2010. "But Zappala and his daughter, Michelle Zappala Peck (the DA's sister – ed.), the PCA's bookkeeper, earned over $409,000 in 2008 even though the group did nothing publicly until October 2009, when it issued several press releases in support of table games legislation."
My guess is that she simply said, "Hell no, if you make me do this I will spill some very big beans". All I see here are a bunch of crooks going after one of the crooks who wouldn't play ball.

Scheme keeps citizens toasty
There is nothing to lose and plenty to gain from a New Plymouth District Council home energy scheme that starts next month, says Mayor Harry Duynhoven.
From February 1, New Plymouth ratepayers will have an alternative way to fund the installation of home energy products and insulation in their homes.
All ratepayers would be eligible to apply for up to $5000 (including GST) to support the installation of clean energy heat products or solar water heating or up to $2600 (including GST) for the installation of insulation.
The costs were then paid back through rates using a voluntary targeted rate (VTR) system, with interest over nine years.
Duynhoven said he was thrilled the scheme was included in the long-term plan.
"I'm delighted with this; it's something I've pushed for several years," Duynhoven said.
The scheme would not cost the council money nor would it cost ratepayers who did not take part in the scheme, he said. "It's fiscally neutral for the council."
People who took part would have a rates increase from the start of the new rating year on July 1. The interest rate would be set at 7 per cent for the first year and subject to change thereafter.
The scheme was a useful way for ratepayers to upgrade their homes without having to raise additional mortgage funds, Duynhoven said.
The scheme could be used for a range of services and products, including home insulation, solar water heating, clean heating and heat-pump water heating.
To be eligible for the scheme, homeowners must be the ratepayer of the home, up to date with rate payments and, for insulation, have a home built before 2000.
"It's a very simple and effective way of upgrading our housing stock," Duynhoven said.
Funding assistance for products would be provided only if the property was insulated and it was available for only one product or installation.
Funding support would be provided only through VTR for EECA-registered installers and products that were EECA- approved or had an energy star rating.
Heat-pump water heating products must be registered with the New Zealand Hot Water Association.
That provided a guarantee that the product and installation would be of a high standard, Duynhoven said.
"We can have confidence that people won't get ripped off."
Duynhoven had his home insulated recently and it noticeably improved the warmth and ambience of the house and reduced power bills, he said.
The scheme would be particularly attractive to rental property owners, he said.
People applying for financial assistance needed to include a $200 administration fee with the necessary paperwork.
Once work was completed, the additional rating increase would be added to the property's land information memorandum.
The Nelson City Council had a similar scheme for solar products, called the Solar Saver scheme.
However, last year it discontinued the scheme because the uptake was less than initially projected, making it less viable for the council to continue. A rise in installation costs to customers meant the city council was faced with increased levels of administration and compliance costs associated with the scheme.
It was now looking at other solar heating assistance alternatives.
Duynhoven said there was nothing to lose in giving the VTR scheme a crack in New Plymouth.
"We'll try it out and see how it goes."
The New Plymouth District Council advised people to first look at the EECA website to see what Government funding was available.
People may also want to speak to the bank about providing finance for home energy installation.
Many banks waive the administration and loan setup fee for the installation of home energy solutions potentially offering a more affordable option.
For more information, contact the council on (06) 759 6060 or pop in to the Civic Centre or a council library and service centre.
More information could also be found on the EECA and Smarter Homes websites.
THE DETAILS Financial Assistance $5000 $2000 $1000
Cost per rate payment (monthly) $63.95 $26.48 $13.24
Per annum cost $767.44 $317.72 $158.86
Nine year total $6906.98 $2859.48 $1429.74 The figures are indicative only.
The interest rate will be set at 7 per cent for this first year. Thereafter it is subject to change.

New research shows more selfies are taken in London than anywhere else on the planet.
Selfies - the act of taking a self-portrait photo of yourself and sharing it on social media - appears to be a trend that is here to stay.
A survey by Suggestme.com researched the most popular places to take a selfie by analysing 6.3 million social media messages from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, among others.
Unsurprisingly, London is the most popular city in which to take a selfie, with big sights including Big Ben, the London Eye, and Buckingham Palace being the most popular selfie hotspots.
New York and Amsterdam are in second and third place respectively, with Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, the Rijksmuseum, and the Van Gogh Museum being the spots where the most selfies are taken.
In Amsterdam, many selfies are taken by famous paintings, the most popular being the Sunflowers by Van Gogh (1853).
Van Gogh is interestingly often considered by many to be the pioneer of the selfie.
Barcelona, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Sydney, Istanbul, and Athens are the cities that complete the top 10.
In the Louvre there is a statue that is an immensely popular selfie spot, due to the fact it looks like the statue itself is taking a selfie.
In Australia, koala bears are often observed taking part in the selfie phenomenon.
Staff at the Wild Life Sydney Zoo have installed a special camera in their enclosure.
They have observed the koalas taking their own selfies, and as is to be predicted, have had some hilarious results.

As with any OS, care must be taken. I stopped recommending Windows to friends and family for that reason, as I could not keep up with support needs. That said, there are several things that should be done.
One, use Time Machine. When there is a problem, this feature offers a quick way replace the OS.
Two, browse using a Standard user account. To be extra cautious, deselect the Open "safe" files after downloading setting in application's preference panel. There is always a delay at detecting new vulnerabilities, where avoiding this service could have prevented many past compromises.
Three, avoid installing Adobe Flash, Java, or Microsoft Office if possible. Browsers now offer native video and graphics support. These applications are in endless flux and permit a large number of any day exploits. Avoid social networking plugin foo as well.
There are several Anti-Virus utilities available in App Store, but the new firewall feature in Mountain Lion also helps at keeping you safe. This feature checks signatures of known software sources, for example. When the source is unknown, don't install.

Eating Berries Might Reduce Cognitive Decline
Last updated: Apr 30, 2012
Here's a new argument for grabbing a pint or two of those brightly colored berries at the market: According to new research, eating strawberries and blueberries is linked to better cognitive function in older women.
According to PsychCentral, the research is based on data from the Nurses' Health Study, in which 121,700 female R.N.s answered nutrition and other surveys every four years. The study started in 1976, so lead author Elizabeth Devore, with Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and team had plenty of data.
The results showed that women who ate more berries delayed cognitive decline for up to 2.5 years. Researchers think the flavonoids in the berries might protect cognitive function by acting as anti-inflammatories and antioxidants.
"We provide the first epidemiologic evidence that berries may slow progression of cognitive decline in elderly women," Devore said. "Our findings have significant public health implications as increasing berry intake is a fairly simple dietary modification to test cognition protection in older adults."
Of course, this research doesn't prove that eating berries directly strengthens cognitive function. The women who ate more berries might have also exercised more, or avoided smoking, or completed more crossword puzzles. Still, it's probably not a terrible idea to eat more antioxidant-rich berries -- especially since they're pretty tasty.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN had wayward hubby LAMAR ODOM tailed by private eye who uncovered 5 mistresses he had been cheating with –source.
The evidence included two women who have already been named publicly — Polina Polonsky and Jennifer Richardson – RadarOnline reported.
Not surprisingly, love rat Odom's alleged harem dates back 12 months when Khloe, 29, first become suspicious of his seeming wayward ways.
Khole had Odom, a journeyman B-baller, followed because of an infidelity clause in the couple's prenuptial agreement, a source said.
"Khloe has not only photographic proof that Lamar cheated on her with at least five different women, but has copies of text messages between Lamar and the other women," the insider revealed.
"She is a very smart woman and knew she had to get the proof because of the infidelity clause in their prenup."
As a result, drug-troubled Odom could be forced to pay Khloe, the youngest of the three Kardashian daughters, a "very large lump sum of cash, or a very hefty spousal support" if the couple does end up divorcing, the source said.

For more than 20 years, Cumberland County residents could use a single library card to access books, movies, the Internet and other services at libraries run by the county, its community college and its three cities.
But what began as an effort by a cash-strapped county government to save money two years ago has resulted in competing library systems that could force some county residents to pay for services they once got for free.
The end of the reciprocal CLUES system involving the county library in Bridgeton and the municipal libraries in Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland also left some bitter feelings: County officials said the municipal libraries were more than welcome to join their new system. Officials in the municipal libraries said their input was never really welcome.
Cumberland County Library Director Jean Edwards said her library's new LOGIN system gives users far more resources with which to work by linking with libraries throughout Gloucester and Salem counties. County residents can use LOGIN, which went online Nov. 1 and is also used at Cumberland County College, for free, she said.
Edwards said LOGIN also meets the county's goal of saving taxpayers money: The system costs $24,000 annually, about half of what the county paid for the system linked with CLUES. CLUES also came with other potential costs — for things such as web server replacement — that could further increase the annual costs by more than $28,000.
"The decision to join LOGIN was made carefully and is the right direction for the Cumberland County Library," said Cumberland County Library Commission Chairwoman Gail Overdevest.
Library officials in Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland say their new Sierra system is an upgrade over the system linked to CLUES. The actual yearly cost is still being determined, they said.
The three municipal libraries are using an interim system until Sierra goes online early next year.
But while residents in Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland can use those municipal libraries for free, residents in the rest of the county will have to pay for services at those facilities. Those costs are also being determined.
Bridgeton Library Director Gail Robinson said that could affect many residents who live in outlying townships and find it easier to get to the municipal libraries than to visit the county library.
For instance, Robinson said, many residents in the rural, western half of the county use Bridgeton's municipal libraries. Residents in places such as Commercial and Maurice River townships find it easier to get to Millville's municipal library than to drive to the county library, she said.
"We believe in cooperation," Vineland Public Library Director Gloria Urban said of the three municipal libraries. "There was a great desire on the part of the three to stay together in a group."
However, Urban admits that, "I think it was a stronger system when all of us in the county were with one system."
Library users will have to find out what works best for them.
Elizabeth Koerkel is a 34-year-old social worker from Vineland. Koerkel said she goes to Vineland's municipal library frequently to do research linked with her ongoing college courses involving social work.
Koerkel said she does not care which library system she uses, as all library systems tend to be similar and easy to access.
"They all have their benefits," she said.
Another Vineland resident, 44-year-old Jason Grimson, was using a computer at the Vineland library recently to help him find a job. He said it does not make sense for county residents to have to use a different library system when they should all be working together.
"You would think they would have worked this out," Grimson said, adding that the setup could inconvenience library users.
Cumberland County government considered closing its library this year and in 2011 as a cost-saving measure. The county library's budget is about $800,000. The county paid for its own library operations and the CLUES-linked system for that facility and the three municipal libraries.
In 2011, the Cumberland County Board of Chosen Freeholders dropped plans to close the county library after getting significant public opposition to the proposal. The library remained open, but some hours were slashed, new fees were added, some existing fees were increased, and bookmobile service was ended.
The freeholders considered closing the library again this year.
A volunteer committee charged with finding ways of significantly cutting county library costs and services gave a report in February that surprised the freeholders.
The committee made no recommendations. Its members instead reminded the freeholders that closing the county library would end services the facility shares with municipal libraries in Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland. Committee members also said that many county residents depend on the library for services they simply cannot afford.
The freeholders opted to keep the county library open.

Here in the second half of January we have three premieres happening in the local theater scene.
First up, we have the world premiere of Hir, a new play by acclaimed New York City playwright and performer Taylor Mac. Mac previously brought his acclaimed, experimental work The Lily's Revenge to the Magic two years ago, and now he's back with a new work in which he does not perform. It's being called a "hilarious drama" involving a mother and two children, one a Marine, and the other a " tender, jaded [kid who is] sculpting a third-sex gender identity for hirself." Previews begin January 29. Get tickets here.
Next, at Berkeley Rep we have the West Coast premiere of A Man In a Case, a high-tech stage adaptation of two Anton Checkov short stories starring the one and only Mikhail Baryshnikov. The production comes out of the Big Dance Theater, who premiered it last year at Hartford stage, and the piece combines movement, music, and video along with the spoken word, and so obviously we'll get to see Baryshnikov do a little dancing. The show has only one preview, on January 25, and will play for 20 performances only starting January 26. Get tickets here.
And on Berkeley Rep's smaller Thrust Stage is the world premiere of Marcus Gardley's The House That Will Not Stand. The play was actually commissioned by Berkeley Rep as part of their Ground Floor program for the development of new work. Gardley is an Oakland native, and it's a story "about free women of color in 1836 New Orleans, where black Creole women entered into common-law marriages with rich white men." Previews begin January 31. Get tickets here.

The British Association of Cosmetic Nurses
The BACN is the largest Professional Association for nurses carrying out cosmetic treatments in the UK. It operates under a strict Code of Conduct in order to ensure patient safety across all treatments undertaken by its members.
The BACN has a dual role:
• To provide services and support to all of its Members
• To promote and support patient safety in the area of Non-Surgical Aesthetic Treatments
The largest group of Members are UK based Nurses registered with the NMC but from 1/4/2015 it now offers Affiliated Memberships to other approved health care professionals in the UK (Doctors, Dentists etc) and from overseas.
The BACN is a 'Not for Profit' organisation owned by its Members and its Board is elected on an Annual Cycle.
Status of BACN
The BACN was established in 2009 and developed as a 'Not for Profit' Association. The BACN has grown rapidly so there has been a need to review this structure in order to enable it to operate in a much more complex, professional and financial environment.
With effect from 1st April 2016 the BACN will operate as a not-for-profit limited company. The new company is still owned and governed by its members.
BACN Limited is also in the process of establishing a separate Charitable Company which be a 100% owned subsidiary of BACN Limited and allow it to attract charitable grants and donations.
The BACN and Patient Safety
Regulation of the Aesthetics Industry
The aesthetics industry in the UK is not regulated and as such any person can offer complex aesthetic treatments. This is a very dangerous situation and the BACN have campaigned tirelessly to have this changed without success. However there are new proposals being developed to establish a 'Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners – JCCP' that will register all practitioners who meet an industry agreed set of clinical and educational standards. This will take some time to put in place with a target launch date of April 2017.
Under the current arrangements of non-regulation we strongly advise the following for members of the public seeking aesthetic treatments:
1. Go to a recognized medical professional who is able to show you that they are a member of a 'Governing Body' that regulates their behavior via an agreed Code of Conduct – Examples would be the General Medical Council (GMC), the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and the General Dental Council (GDC).
2. Go to a web site like the BACN where we identify practitioners in your area that operate under the BACN Code of Conduct and are qualified and registered nurses.
3. Ask for proof of registration, charter marks and for patient recommendations where available.
British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN) Strategy for 2014 – 2017Why the need for a Strategy?
The BACN has developed rapidly over the last 18 months as it has responded to huge changes in the environment in which it and its Members operate and the growing demands of an expanding Membership. In this context it has now become critical to provide strong guidance as to the future direction of the BACN. The Plan has to be both inward and outward looking. Inward looking to deliver everything that is required by its Members and outward looking to ensure that the public who are buying medical aesthetic services are guaranteed a quality and safe experience.
Strategy - Requirements
• To provide an explanation of the Association's purposes in everyday language for Members and the public;
• To help to communicate the Association's ethos and values; and
• To provide a context for the separate Strategic Plan for 2014/17
Functions of the BACN
The British Association of Cosmetic Nurses was established in 2010 following restructuring at The Royal College of Nursing. It is a 'not for profit' association seeking charitable status with an elected Board and Regional Group Leaders. From a small start in 2010 it had grown, by 2016, to a membership of 500+ members, all nurses with a passion for what they do and a desire to be part of a specialist community, working together with common goals.
The BACN - Key Current Functions:
• To act as an expert resource.
• To provide guidance on best practice to ensure the safety of patients and nurses.
• To review current training and raise standards.
• To provide Continuous Professional Development.
• To give members access to information on training, conferences and research.
• To facilitate guidance and support to members and inform and educate the public/media.
• Organise, or assist in organising meetings, lectures, workshops and exhibitions or assist in publishing reports or other documents or information.
• To work with all stakeholders.
• To facilitate networking.
• To influence policy making at the highest level
Key Underpinning Statements:
• We will continue to provide high level advice and policy guidance in relation to key issues affecting the sector including education, training, standards and Codes of Practice.
• We will establish and promote standards for the safe and effective practice of medical aesthetics by Nurses with reference to those required by the NMC.
• We will set standards for conduct, ethics, proficiency, education and training and continuing professional development.
• We will establish fitness to practise requirements, monitoring nursing professionals fitness to practice and deal fairly and proportionally with complaints and concerns.
• We will develop our presence and profile to both attract potential new members and to influence key decision makers in the sector.
• We will seek to be the first port of call for the media when seeking responses on issues regarding medical aesthetics.
• We will continue to provide support and to develop services for our Membership, stakeholders and business partners.
• We will aim to increase our Membership by numbers and across a wider geographical area of the UK and in key overseas locations.
• We will develop a commercial strategy to ensure the sustainability of the Association.
• We will operate in a way that reflects our charitable status and the terms of our constitution as well as principles of best practice in governance.
Key Drivers of the Strategy:
Education, Training and Standards
Membership Changing Needs and Requirements
Financial Sustainability
Core Strategic Objectives:
The BACN Core Strategic Objectives have been derived from the Vision Statement, key underpinning statements and key drivers:
1. To Enhance Membership Values
2. To promote Enhanced Client Experiences
3. To provide an Industry Lead
4. Raise the External Profile of the Organisation
5. To improve Quality, Sustainability and Governance
The Strategic Plan 2014/17 contains the key actions, target dates and Lead Responsibilities for implementing the Plan.
The Vision/Mission:
By 2017 we will be recognised as the primary Membership Association in the field of medical aesthetics nursing providing expert level advice on standards, best practice in training, education and innovative services to its specialist nursing members so that they can offer their clients the best and most secure outcomes for people seeking their professional services.

Can technology force you to relax?
In today's world we're all guilty of multi-tasking. We talk on the phone while we drive to work. We check email while eating breakfast. We read a book on the treadmill. There are just too many things to do and too few hours in the day. Sometimes you have to be reminded to stop and smell the roses or stop and listen to the music as the case may be.
Jonas Breme, an undergrad at the Interface Design program at the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam, Germany, developed a project called Listen Carefully to encourage people to take a minute and really enjoy the music they're listening to.
The general reason for the design concept is Breme feels that music is in danger of becoming background noise. Which makes sense given that most people listen to it while they're doing something else like driving, jogging, or talking. Even I'm listening to Bruce Springsteen while writing this.
The motion-sensitive headphones lower the playback volume if it senses "juddering" motions. If you sit still and listen, you're rewarded with the full volume of the song. Essentially, the headphones are training you to sit still and focus on just the music for a minute.
Right now, it's just a design concept with no actual plans to manufacture the product. It was created solely to draw attention and debate to the problem of rushing through life without actually enjoying anything, which is an interesting discussion.
So, faithful readers, would you invest in a technology that forced you to relax and listen to the music?

Best Ever First Socks
$5.00 - $8.00
Baby Best Ever First Socks is rated out of 5 by 225.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Iwantacoolid from Best socks ever! Thick, warm, non slip. They actually stay on! We love these socks!
Date published: 2017-03-14
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mommax2 from Great soft socks with thickness These are great socks that are soft and stay up! Love the grips on the bottom. Only recommendation, offer a larger size range please. I have an almost two year old and they won't fit soon, they are nice to pair with your pajamas during winter months!
Date published: 2017-02-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by JHK13 from Best socks! Never fall off! I read that these socks were great at staying on baby's feet. I didn't believe it. In my baby's first three months of life, she'd never kept a sock on for more than five minutes. It was driving me nuts. Then I bought these socks. They never fall off. I'm amazed! Only complaint is I washed them once and one of the socks (1 of 8 - 4 pairs I purchased) has quite a bit of pilling. Not a big deal but I hope it doesn't get worse. Also, I wish there were more colors and patterns - stripes, polka dots, etc. We haven't used any other socks since we got these and I don't think we will!
Date published: 2017-01-27
Rated 3 out of 5 by Millca from Stay on but pill The socks do stay on. They are soft and comfortable. I purchased several pairs. However, they pill and look really used (especially the light pink color) only after 3-4 months. It's disappointing given the price.
Date published: 2017-01-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by HannaFanMA from Best socks ever! These socks get passed down throughout our family and they hold up better than any sock out there. I also love that they're slip proof and I look forward to new adorable and unique designs each season.
Date published: 2017-01-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mpscott15 from They really do stay on! I was hestitant to purchase these at $8. However, they really do stay on. My little guy is 2 months old and his foot is about 3.75 inches. I will purchase more!
Date published: 2017-01-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nicole16 from Awesome socks The socks are not only cute but very warm and comfortable. I feel comfortable when my son wears the socks around the house because of how warm they are.
Date published: 2017-01-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emd224 from Great socks Great socks! Nice and warm. Not too tight on chubby legs and stay on well.

My name is Ian Elliott, I've been racing since I was 7 years old, starting with outlaw karts. I moved up through the karts and eventually got into stock cars. The last few years I have been racing legend cars, and have been doing very well in the competitive series. I've been primarily racing asphalt ovals but would love to do some road course and possibly even dirt racing. I've been building a solid fan base and hope to continue the growing support
About Twice Per Month: Since 1998
Recent Class(es):
Since 1998 - About Three Times Per Month
I currently race Legends in Northern California. I started racing dirt outlaw karts when i was 7, where i had moderate success in multiple divisions. From there i moved up into stock cars and was on track to win my first championship when an off track accident left me with a broken leg and ankle, and unable to resume my racing season. I was able to continue to race the following year on a limited schedule and had a good year with lots of fast times and heat race wins but was unable to capture a feature win. I am now in legend cars with several fast times, Wins in trophy dashes, heat races, and main events at multiple tracks. This year I was able to capture several main event wins, 2 championships, as well as several other great successes. I would really like to have another great year in 2015 and hope to do so with great sponsors
