A Foundation for Markov Equilibria with Finite Social Memory
We study stochastic games with an infinite horizon and sequential moves played by an arbitrary number of players. We assume that social memory is finite---every player, except possibly one, is finitely lived and cannot observe events that are sufficiently far back in the past. This class of games includes games between a long-run player and a sequence of short-run players and games with overlapping generations of players. Indeed, any stochastic game with infinitely lived players can be reinterpreted as one with finitely lived players: Each finitely-lived player is replaced by a successor, and receives the value of the successor's payoff. This value may arise from altruism, but the player also receives such a value if he can "sell" his position in a competitive market. In both cases, his objective will be to maximize infinite horizon payoffs, though his information on past events will be limited. An equilibrium is purifiable if close-by behavior is consistent with equilibrium when agents' payoffs in each period are perturbed additively and independently. We show that only Markov equilibria are purifiable when social memory is finite. Thus if a game has at most one long-run player, all purifiable equilibria are Markov.

Silverstone Model CP06 60mm + 43mm + 43mm + 43mm Four-in-one SATA Power Connector
(Not my pic, Amazon had a better one.)
Occasionally I find a part that just makes me happy. This part can reduce the number of power cables you need to use inside your box or tidy-up the daisy-chain of power cables to a drive cage full of 3.5" drives.
I've already bought three of them. They're most helpful with providing neatly cabled power to a RAID. The part costs about US$11 at Amazon and The Egg.
Amazon keeps recommending those to me since I've been working on a small ceph cluster; good to know they work well since that's probably my next need when I get to tidy up the setup and max out the capacity of each case!
Looks handy if one keeps drive distance short.
My Corsair PSU has modular cables like this with four SATA connectors, but they are all designed for a case with the PSU at the top! My PSU is at the bottom, so the connectors are upside-down.

Shaq to have MRI on knee Thursday
By Ira Winderman
Posted February 23 2005, 1:42 PM EST
INDIANAPOLIS -- Heat center Shaquille O'Neal was walking unassisted Wednesday, a day after taking a frightening fall in the first two minutes of his team's 105-101 overtime loss in Chicago.
The initial diagnosis remains a strained left knee, although more will not be known until an MRI is taken Thursday in Miami and the joint is examined by team physician Harlan Selesnick.
O'Neal traveled with the team overnight Tuesday to Indianapolis, but the decision was made to wait for further evaluation until the team returns early Thursday morning to South Florida. The 7-foot-1, 330-pound veteran is being held out of tonight's game against the Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse.
27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000 VISIBILITY:INVISIBLE; ZINDEX:3>
O'Neal went down clutching his left knee 1 minute, 35 seconds into Tuesday's game at the United Center after he stumbled into Bulls power forward Othella Harrington while trying to corral a pass from teammate Dwyane Wade.
While O'Neal needed assistance getting to the X-ray room, he was able to walk several feet back to the Heat locker room on his own at the United Center.
He limped to the team bus late Tuesday night, but by the time the team arrived early Wednesday in Indianapolis that limp was gone.
After missing 15 games in each of the previous three seasons while with the Lakers, O'Neal, until Wednesday night, had missed only one this season, a Dec. 21 victory over the Celtics, with a bruised left calf.
The knee has been a problem for O'Neal before. He missed three games for the Lakers in 2002-03 with a sore left knee and 28 for the Lakers in '96-97 with a hyper-extended left knee.
"Of course it's a concern,'' coach Stan Van Gundy said after Tuesday's game. "Obviously it's a concern."
By Saturday's home game against Orlando, a reinforcement should be in place, with Alonzo Mourning to join the team as a free agent.

Here is the real Miami Herald article as written by Isreal Gutierrez...
There is no sports writer for the Herald by the name of Haime Gonzalez that I am aware of or is listed by the Herald.
Yep definitely a fake. I got excited and posted it after a quick scan.
Thanks Mr. Rather, you'll be missed on CBS.
ESPNews just mentioned this article. They think it's real!!
Its real folks, and they fixed the spelling of Wade.
Dwayne Wade is still there. Should be Dwyane. But that's besides the point; the fakers can fix that easily. And this would be all over the website; but there's no link to the article anywhere on the miami herald site. And it's a diff. url than the rest of the site. It's fake.
The guy just appoligized on ESPN News about reporting the article. I don't know if it was the same guy that reported it (just got home from school), but I really can't stand that guy. I think his first name is Brian, he's so annoying.

JERUSALEM (Mar. 9)
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and other Likud leaders lashed out at the director of a new study that hints at the eventual formation of a Palestinian state as a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Shamir accused Maj. Gen. Aharon Yariv, of the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University, of "causing a weakening of Israel's position in the international arena and a strengthening of our enemies."
But Vice Premier Shimon Peres and other Labor leaders endorsed the main thrust of the research.
The controversy surrounds a report issued here Wednesday by the prestigious think tank. It dismisses nearly all of the ideas for peace currently being floated in the Israeli public arena.
In their stead, the Jaffee Center suggests Israelis and Palestinians engage in an extended "confidence-building period" that may or may not end in the formation of a Palestinian state.
The center also suggests that the Israeli government's refusal to talk with the Palestinian Liberation Organization "does not appear to be sustainable over time."
On Thursday, Shamir's office issued a stinging statement accusing Yariv — identified only as "a general" — of gathering information only to back his team's preconceived notions. The statement was subsequently echoed by other Likud leaders and rightists.
Yariv is a former military chief of intelligence and Cabinet minister under Laborite Yitzhak Rabin.
Shamir said that the study's calls for eventual negotiations with Palestinians connected with the PLO "are fantasy."
Peres, however, welcomed the research, saying it fulfilled a real and urgent need for new thinking. "There are those among us who are short-sighted and stick blindly to their old opinions as though nothing has changed," he said.
Peres said the importance of the report lay in its analysis of current ideas, not its final recommendation. He reiterated his support of some type of Jordanian-Palestinian federation, even though the report found such an arrangement unpromising.
But Peres acknowledged that "in the absence of a Jordanian partner, we have to talk to the Palestinians as they are and as they are organized."
Reactions to the report have attracted extensive media coverage in Israel, at least briefly achieving the Jaffee Center's goal of prodding deep discussion of the alternatives facing the country.
The study's principal sponsor was the American Jewish Congress, which has tried to make clear that it endorses only its analysis of current ideas, not the center's own proposal.
But based on the reaction of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, a co-sponsor of the study, that was not made clear enough.
In a statement released in New York, the ADL said it was "distressed" that AJCongress did not in its publicity sufficiently distinguish the study from the conclusions.

Nocturnal Rites
8th Sin
June 2007
Released: 2007, Century Media/EMI
Rating: 3.5/5
Reviewer: Anders Sandvall
The Swedish power/heavy metal band Nocturnal Rites is back with their 8th album simply entitled 8th SIN. In my opinion, the band has gone through a minor change in their musical course. Within the distinct wall of power/heavy metal the band used to play, I can now sense a little hint of a more melodic metal music with more keyboards and piano than normal, and the music is a little more melodic than before as well. The bio states that this is the new and more modern sound of Nocturnal Rites, but I feel a little hesitant to accept that at the beginning. I have to admit that I wasn't the least bit impressed by the album when I first listened to it, but it's one of those albums that grows on you and that you learn to love. Fans in Japan can look forward to two bonus tracks and the Swedish fans will be glad to hear "Never Again", which is a single only for Sweden with a video feature made by drummer Owe Lingvall.
The keyword of 8th SIN ought to be 'melodic', but it's still just as heavy as before. The band's biggest asset is probably their amazing singer Jonny Lindqvist who has a presence in his voice that not many other singers have. It's just as a strong an album as their previous ones and the highlights of the album are without doubt the songs "Call out to the World", "Never Again", "Tell Me", and "Not like You. Other songs worth mentioning are "Strong Enough" and "Pain and Pleasure", where Nocturnal Rites sounds like they did in the old days. The production leaves a little more to wish for because it feels a little too weak and not as powerful as before. Unfortunately, it sounds like this is a low-budget production and that's not what I would have imagined from Nocturnal Rites.
8th SIN is not a bad album at all; there are a lot of great songs and strong material, but it's not what I had expected from Nocturnal Rites. If you are a hardcore Nocturnal Rites fan, I think you're going to be a bit surprised when you hear this album. I can recommend it but the band has made stronger albums before.

Police called to fire, make drug arrest
Wed, 23 Jul 2014 12:59:46 GMT —
A Myrtle Beach man will likely face a drug charge after he told police he tried to make methamphetamine in a Pepsi bottle and it caught on fire, according to David Knipes with Myrtle Beach Police.
Officers were called to a report of a structure fire in the 300 block of 1st Avenue North in Myrtle Beach early Wednesday morning.
Matthew Philipscheck, 31, told police everyone in the apartment was sleeping so he "decided to make some meth," according to a police report.
The report said he told police he added chemicals into the soda bottle and shook it.
When he added water into the bottle, he told officers the bottle caught on fire and he threw it out the window.
Knipes said no charges have been filed yet, but he believes Philipscheck will likely be charged with Manufacturing Methamphetamine and possibly with additional charges.

Merced Police Change Controversial Stray Animal Policy
MERCED, Calif. (KMPH) —
{}The Merced Police Department is changing how it deals with severely injured animals. KMPH first reported that the department was shooting and killing severely injured dogs and cats at the department's shooting range. However, the department announced that it is changing its policy.
Starting Tuesday whenever an officer comes across a severely injured animal they will have to call a veterinarian. The veterinarian will euthanize the dog or cat with an injection.
"I think it's much better, I think it needs a vet evaluation," says Andrea Lepe who supports the policy change.
The Merced Police Department was not doing anything illegal. California law allows the old policy and says, "Any officer may, with the approval of his or her immediate superior, humanely destroy any abandoned animal in the field in any case where the animal is too severely injured to move or where a veterinarian is not available and it would be more humane to dispose of the animal."
Whenever an officer calls for a veterinarian they will have to wait with the animal until the veterinarian arrives. For now the officer will call the closest veterinarian, but the police department would eventually like a formal agreement with a veterinarian.

Lance Armstrong Reportedly Apologizes to Livestrong Staff
Lance Armstrong offered an emotional apology to employees at the Livestrong cancer foundation Monday before taping an interview with Oprah Winfrey in which he admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career, according to the Associated Press and The New York Times.
A source with direct knowledge of the Livestrong meeting told the AP that Mr. Armstrong choked up while addressing staff at the charity he founded in 1997 but officially left last fall after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency issued a voluminous report on his alleged cheating. The source said the disgraced rider apologized for letting the staff down and putting the foundation at risk but did not directly confess to using banned substances.
According to the Times, Mr. Armstrong did make such an admission in his conversation with Ms. Winfrey, which is scheduled to air Thursday on her television network. The reported confession, widely viewed as part of an effort by Mr. Armstrong to reverse a lifetime ban from Olympic sports, will primarily benefit Livestrong and its brand, Forbes writes.

NDMP alternate client restore to a remote Quantum DXi8500 is selecting a non-NDMP drive, causing the restore to fail with status 5.
The drive path MDS is selecting is from Dxi8500, which is not able the read the NetApp dump format. Since Dxi8500 is added as an NDMP host, MDS is selecting one of the drive path from it.
A path to the ndmp server that wrote the tape needs to be selected for the restore, but it is not happening.
MDS's choice is arbitrary when selecting an ndmp server. If it can't find one to match the restore client, it will select any remote one.

The Northern Mariana Islands, officially the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI; ), is one of the five inhabited U.S. territories (the other four are Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa). It is one of two territories with "Commonwealth" status; the other is Puerto Rico. It consists of fifteen islands in the western Pacific Ocean, about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to the Philippines. The United States Census Bureau reports the total land area of all islands as .[1] As of the 2010 census, the Northern Mariana Islands had a population of 53,883, of whom over 90% live on the island of Saipan. Of the 14 other islands, only twoTinian and Rotaare permanently inhabited.
The Commonwealth's center of government is in the village of Capitol Hill on Saipan. As the island is governed as a single municipality, most publications name Saipan as the Commonwealth's capital.

In order to be considered "standard," an online ad unit should be commonly bought and offered throughout the marketplace, according to revised guidelines released Monday by the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
For the first time, creative agencies were asked to lend their insights to the annual ad unit recommendations, joining media agencies and publishers that have historically been a part of the process.
Including creative professionals in the process of updating ad unit guidelines was considered a key aspect of the IAB's "Reimagining Interactive Advertising" initiative, according to Randall Rothenberg,pPresident and CEO of the IAB.
"We have taken a step towards improving the creative output and branding potential for interactive media," said Rothenberg.
Just seven of the eighteen ad units presently deemed to be standard by the IAB meet the new criteria. Those ad units will not be removed from the standard list in 2009, but are expected to meet the new criteria by the end of 2010.
Next year, the Task Force will release "Rising Stars," the first list of ad units to be identified by the task force using qualitative criteria of perceived effectiveness and creative preference. The so-called "Rising Stars" may ultimately become standard ad units if and when they meet the quantitative requirements for adoption and marketplace impressions.
"Our next order of business is to drive towards adoption of revised standards that we believe will spur increased investment in interactive advertising," said Rothenberg.
Separately on Monday, the IAB released an update to the Digital Video Ad Serving Template that it created in July 2008 to standardize the communication protocol between video players and servers. VAST 2.0 permits optional tracking of companion ads and other ad elements, provides support for multi-part creatives, allows for a broader range of digital video ad products, and attempts to clarify various technical requirements.
I applaud the IAB for involving creatives in the process. Seems 15 years to come to this point is a little late -- but having creative groups on board is essential. So we have 7 new semi official units -- on top of the 4 that are part of the unversal ad package the IAB introduced in 2002. While there is always room for innovation, this focus on the unit -- rather than what fills it -- will ultimately do a disservice to online. TV has :30s and :15s, print has page 4C bleed: agencies have 11 different unit types to deal with all with varying technical specs?: that's a major impediment to a medium. I would rather see publishers and agencies focus on issues like clutter and the dynamics of audience builds rather than focusing on the frame. The ad size conundrum is covered extensively in this paper: www.primaryimpact.com/dpac4

People + Policy
= Positive Change for the Public Good
Next week at its proposes to modernize its oversight of broadband services by classifying broadband transmission as a "telecommunications service" under the Communications Act.
While we are eager to participate in this proceeding and we welcome a lively discussion on the best way for the FCC to restore its light-touch authority over broadband networks, we caution that policymakers must beware of the constant fear-mongering that has crept into this debate. A string of misinformation campaigns has muddied the discussion on reclassification -- and can be traced back to incumbent phone and cable companies, their intense lobbying efforts, and their Astroturf groups.
But this is a pivotal moment in Internet policymaking. And the FCC should not allow an industry that opposes even minimal government oversight and consumer protections to cloud the debate regarding the Commission's options in shaping broadband policy for the 21st century. Rather, the debate should be grounded in our communications law and our historical approach to two-way communications networks like today's broadband infrastructure. That debate must begin with accurate facts about both the FCC's proposal and the technological and market realities of today's broadband world. And it must include reasoned discussion regarding which policies best serve the public interest as a whole.
In response to the mud-slinging by the telecommunications industry and the noise generated by its friends in Congress, Free Press released a new issue brief yesterday that sets the record straight on the classification debate. The new report, The Truth About the Third Way: Separating Fact from Fiction in the FCC Reclassification Debate, examines the top ten myths obscuring reasoned discussion of the FCC's Third Way.
Below are the first five myths. Read about the other five myths in the full issue brief here: told investors that the FCC's plan will not affect any planned investments in their networks.
Fiction: Only Congress can act to restore the FCC's authority over broadband networks.
Fact: The Communications Act – the foundation of telecommunications law – gives the FCC the flexibility to determine how to protect consumers. Furthermore, in 2005, a landmark Supreme Court case made clear that the FCC has the power to designate broadband Internet access services as either an integrated information service or as two separate services, a connectivity service that constitutes a telecommunications service and a suite of information services that runs over that connectivity. The FCC proposes to adopt the latter approach in its Third Way proceeding.
Fiction: The FCC's approach will cause regulatory uncertainty and instability.
Fact: Recognizing that broadband Internet access contains a telecommunications service is the best way to eliminate existing regulatory uncertainty and instability in the broadband marketplace. Moving forward with broadband policy without taking this step could cause serious problems for consumers, the Commission, and all companies in the Internet ecosystem. It would leave FCC policies vulnerable to piecemeal litigation and prolong uncertainty for many years to come.
Fiction: The FCC's move would lead to job losses in the telecommunications sector.
Fact: Even as revenues have increased, the telecommunications sector's job-loss trend has accelerated. In fact, industry statements have indicated that job cuts will continue – but with no mention of FCC action as the culprit.

Yankees' Cano in 'Empire State of Mind' with new agent
Wed, 03 Apr 2013 03:05:15 GMT —
Jay-Z once gloated â??I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can,â?? in his 2009 chart-topping single â??Empire State of Mind.â?? Now it appears the rapper-turned-sports agent may be backing up his claim, signing Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano as his first client to Roc Nation Sports.
â??Welcome Robinson Cano to the Roc Nation Family,â?? reads a banner on the official Roc Nation webpage. Hovaâ??s full-service sports management company will co-represent the Yankees all-star under a partnership with CAA Sports, a division of Creative Artists Agency.
â??Because of my love of sports, it was a natural progression to form a company where we can help top athletes in various sports the same way we have been helping artists in the music industry for years,â?? said Sean â??Jay-Zâ?? Carter.
The 2009 World Series Championâ??s collaboration with Jay-Z splits Cano from agent Scott Boras, who helped sign the two-time Gold Glove Award winner to his current contract. Cano is due $15 million dollars from the Bronx Bombers this season, which is the final year of his contract.
â??At this point in my career, I am ready to take a more active role in my endeavors both on and off the field,â?? Cano announced on Tuesday. â??I am confident that the pairing of Roc Nation Sports and C.A.A. Sports will be essential in helping me accomplish my short- and long-term goals. I am making this important decision now so I can keep my focus on helping the Yankees succeed in 2013, while minimizing any distractions for me and my teammates.â??
While time will tell if this partnership will elicit major league results and a new deal to keep Cano in pinstripes, Roc Nation Sports appears to be swinging for the fences. Cano will lead an injury-ridden Yankees lineup as they visit the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park April 5-7th. Jay-Z next visits the motor city on tour with Justin Timberlake in August.

Always had great results with Botox but went with Dysport last time and results were horrible. Made my eyes smaller, brow lower and lids super puffy. It's worn off now but my lids have become so hooded that they stick together, I raise my brow to see better and I always look mad (due to being 45, not result of Dysport). Do I go with Botox/Dysport again or get upper and lower lid surgery? Or given how my lower lids look, would fillers work instead? Thanks!
Poor Dysport Results Last Time, is it Time for Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Instead? (photo)
Doctor Answers 14
Upper Blepharoplasty not Botox or Dysport is required to correct Eyelid Hooding
Thank you for your question. You have loose upper eyelid skin called Dermatochalasis which must be removed during an Upper Blepharoplasty in order to correct the hooding of your upper eyelids. No amount of Botox or Dysport injected into the frown line and the upper corner of the eyelids will allow the Brow to elevate and correct this.
If Botox or Dysport was injected into the Forehead-Worry Lines-this would actually make the Brow drop and the Upper Eyelid Hooding worse.

Poor Dysport Results Last Time, is it Time for Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Instead? (photo)
The truth is there are several ways to treat you. A lot will depend on what you want. If Botox doesn't help you anymore (and this is not certain yet), then you may well need surgery. You should get an in depth consultation with a surgeon who also injects Botox to see what is your best option.
Blepharoplasty and browlift
By your posted story it sounds like the problem is more due to how the injections were made than what was injected, botox vs. dysport. Your current concern seems to be the hooding and that is not effectively or fully treated by botox or dysport. Those neurotoxins are best used to treat skin wrinkles caused by dynamic muscle action. Fillers will not do anything for the upper lid hooding. Therefore the only treatment that will give a reliable result is some combination of upper blepharoplasty and brow lift. You need to make sure that all of the neurotoxins are gone and the tissues have returned to their baseline level before having any surgery otherwise the results could be short lived. Since the upper eyelid skin hangs onto the eyelashes in some areas insurance may cover part of your surgery if you can prove directly related visual field deficits.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
You might also like...
Alternative when Botox/Dysport does not work
You have significant hooding of the upper lids from descent of the brow. To improve this, you need some way to elevate the brow. Botox/Dysport can sometimes do this if placed only in the muscles around the eye and not in the forehead (the muscles you need to elevate the brow) and teh forehead muscle is active enough to lift the brow. If you had the forehead injected, this could be one reason for the horrible results. If getting rid of the brow depressor does not result in brow elevation, then your only option is a brow lift of some kind. You need a consultation with an experienced brow and eye Plastic Surgeon who understands the anatomy and muscle function in the area.
Botox or eye surgery
Even when i perform a blehparoplasty, Botox is still used for treatment of the facial lines of animation. One does not replace the other.
Botox or eyelid surgery
This is not an either or situation. Botox weakens muscle and may be helpful in the dynamic crows feet. The upper lid hooding can be approached with upper eyelid surgery, brow lift, or peels, in various combinations depending on what you desire as a result.
Robin T.W. Yuan, M.D.
Poor Dysport Results Last Time, is it Time for Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Instead?
Perhaps. The photos, aesthetically, show eyebrows that are quite low in position with the left lower than the right. The degree of upper eyelid hooding will increase and decrease with brow position. This degree of eyebrow drop combined with significant upper eyelid housing would most likely require a Brow Lift combined with an upper eyelid surgery IMHO. Be sure the plastic and cosmetic surgeon, you select, understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attractive face and eye area.
It sounds like the Dysport may have been injected a little too close to the eyebrow(s) causing them to droop which in turn increases the degree of upper eyelid hooding. Hope this helps.

Eyelid rejuvenation options
I'm sorry that you had a poor experience with Dysport.
To be honest, your result should be the same with either dysport or botox. I don't use Dysport a lot but the product does appear to provide a denser treatment affect than botox, even when comparable (adjusted units) amounts are injected. If the injector is not aware of this, an over-treatment can result, This sounds like your situation (brow ptosis and lid puffiness from an over treated forehead).
While wrinkle relaxers can be used to raise your eyebrows, it typically only gives 2-4 mm of lift to the lateral or side of the eyebrow. Your upper lid issue appears to involve the whole lid and is probably 50% due to eyebrow position problems, not just the upper lids. Also, a botox brow lift might over arch your eyebrows, since they rise up laterally as a baseline. Botox would be better suited for making your left brow symmetrical with the right and probably not the best choice for your case. I would recommend an endoscopic brow lift and upper lid blepharoplasty. You would be happier with the upper eyelid contour with a surgery. Keep in mind that you still may require wrinkle relaxers for the frown lines and crow's feet, even after successul surgery.
Your lower lids do look like they would respond nicely to filler injections. That is probably worth some thought before lower eyelid surgery is considered.
Hope this helps and best of luck.

Poor Dysport Results Last Time, is it Time for Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Instead? (photo)
Photos doe demonstrate a possible need for a blepharoplasty, but try BOTOX again to maybe delay the surgery. But I think you would be more satisfied with a surgery. Good luck.
Lid rejuvenation and Botox work in different ways
Botox along the crow's feet area can tend to relax and raise the brow slightly and open the lid, though upper lid rejuvention works in a different way reducing skin hooding, improving upper lid 'show', and reducing fat or fullness in the inner lid. If Botox pleased you in the past, keep it up, though if the lid hooding is getting you down, it is time for blepharoplasty.
Best of luck,

Can we get a new owner?
http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/jet...in-over-jets-wFLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Jets owner Woody Johnson would rather win the presidential election than see his football team have a winning season.
"I think you always have to put country first," Johnson said Monday while discussing the Mitt Romney campaign on Bloomberg TV.
Johnson is one of the chief fundraisers for the Romney campaign. During the interview, he was asked about the Jets' dreadful performance Sunday against the 49ers. Johnson blasted his team and also admitted the pressure is mounting on QB Mark Sanchez.
"The coaches and I aren't happy by what happened yesterday and the players aren't either," he said. "We're still leading the AFC East, but that performance was absolutely unacceptable."
The show hosts, who probably couldn't tell a defensive secondary from a presidential primary, pressed Johnson on the QB issue.
"No, this doesn't mean Tim Tebow is starting next week, but it's a question that will be asked more frequently if this progresses because this is unacceptable playing," Johnson said, adding, "We let our fans down."
"There's going to be more pressure (on Sanchez), but this quarterback can get the job done, he really can," he continued. "He had a bad day. The team had a bad day. It wasn't all Mark Sanchez."
Can we get a new owner?
Thread has already been dumped twice, lol. Third time is a charm.
And who blames him, lol.
The sad thing is, there probably ARE a lot of people who care more about a winning football season than who resides in the White House . . .
Just another loss for Woody to look forward to.
Who gives a ****? A lot of people are more concerned about who wins the Presidential election than their favorite sports teams. This is such a dumb, non-story.
Woody is an idiot. Why would you waste thousands/millions on a quack that believes in seer stones and magic underwear. Mitt is waste of space that's first presidential act would put us another $240 billion in debt with no plan to pay it back. Just vote none of the above or write in someone you believe in.
Now instead of asking him about the Jets having a winning season, ask him about the Jets losing him money instead of making a profit and see him flip his answer.
There is no way he grew up a Jets fan.
So does this thread belong in the Political Forum or not?

Advantages of 20" AR Barrel???

Mine is outfitted with a free float quadrail I really like it for 3 gun and other similar matches most people run 18 or 16 inche but I like the extra lethality of the longer barrel increases the distance of fragmentation of 55 grain fmj's to 250 meters
Okay... What are you saying here? Punctuation is your friend.
I shoot an 18" barrel for 3-gun, but at our matches there are plenty of 16" barrels as well, and an occasional 20" barrel. None of these guns have problems hitting the 650 yard target, some using 55 gr FMJ rounds.
If you think that it takes a 20" barrel to make a 55 gr projectile accurate at 250 yards then I question the experience that you have with the platform.
And I still have not figured out where "fragmentation" comes into this discussion from...
To the OP:
A Magpul UBR or PRS will help balance the rifle.
This was going to be my recommendation. The PRS is not as adjustable as the UBR or other carbine stocks, but it is about perfect to balance out a 20" barrel.

City finances receive glowing audit
Professionals who conducted the annual audit had nothing but praise for the city
By LESTER R. DAILEY
Article published on
Thursday, May 1, 2014
CLEARWATER The Clearwater City Council members who heard the annual financial audit report by the citys external auditors, Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., at their April 28 work session received a double dose of good news.
First, the city passed the audit with flying colors. Second, the report was so good that they wouldnt have to wade through the 190-page report prepared by the citys finance department, looking for ways to make improvements.
Laura Brock, spokeswoman for Mayer Hoffman McCann, presented her firms findings. She said that they had issued an Independent Auditors Report on financial statements, a management discussion and analysis, basic financial statements and notes to them, supplementary information, regulatory items such as an internal control report and compliance report, and a management letter.
A condensed statement of net position compared the citys assets, liabilities and net positions during the fiscal years that ended on Sept. 30, 2012 and 2013. It showed that the total of both current assets and capital assets jumped during that period, with the combined totals of the two rising $12.1 million from $1.06 billion in 2012 to $1.07 billion in 2013. Brock attributed much of that increase to the fact that construction projects that were underway in 2012 were completed in time for the 2013 audit.
During that same period, the total liabilities dropped from $295.5 million to $290.6 million. And the citys total net position of assets over liabilities rose from $765.8 million to $782.8 million.
In the enterprise operations (such as gas, water and sewer, solid waste, and storm water) youre showing a profit, Brock told the council.
The total for those operations jumped from $24.5 million in 2012 to $27.9 million in 2013. Meanwhile, the cost of operating such non-enterprise functions as public safety, recreation, transportation, human services and general government dropped from $88.8 million in 2012 to $87.9 million in 2013.
General revenues from such things as investment earnings and taxes on property, sales, utilities, communications and other things has dropped from $84.2 million in 2012 to $77 million in 2013. Brock attributed a large portion of that drop to the fact that the return on investments had declined from a positive $6.4 million in 2012 to a negative $2.4 million in 2013.
There were no audit adjustments or passed adjustments needed, and no control deficiencies and management letter comments reported, according to Brocks presentation.
This is our fourth year of doing this audit, and the second year without deficiencies, Brock told the council. Believe me; we have other cities with lots of things to report.
Mayor George Cretekos called the report good news. Councilmember Bill Jonson, who had plenty of experience with budgets when he was a Honeywell project manager, praised the terrific work done by the citys staff.

Former Franklin Co. Deputy Accused of Shooting Ex-Wife Expected to Enter Guilty Plea
Roanoke, VA - Former Franklin County Deputy, Jonathan Agee, is expected to enter a guilty plea Friday afternoon in a Roanoke courtroom - that according to the Commonwealth's Attorney's office.
Agee faces five felonies there, including a charge of first degree murder, for a shooting rampage that left his ex-wife dead.
Agee was set to go to trial at the end of the month - a scheduled nine day trial.
Ms. Agee was killed in front of her daughter as the two sat in their car at the Sheetz at the intersection of Williamson Road and Orange Avenue Memorial Day of 2011.
Agee is still scheduled for a March trial in Montgomery County after an ensuing shootout on I-81 left Agee and a Virginia State Trooper wounded.
The murder charge alone carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
It is unclear what, if any deal was cut with Agee to avoid trial.
The plea hearing is set to begin at 12:15.

Production start-up from Anadarko's Algeria field ahead of schedule
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Agip (Algeria) and Maersk Olie Algeriet recently announced start-up of production from the Hassi Berkine oil field (HBN) in Blocks 404 and 403 in Algeria's Sahara Desert, nearly two months ahead of the contracted development schedule.
The field has a production capacity of 75,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd), which will be processed through the third production train of the central processing facility (CPF) at the nearby Hassi Berkine South (HBNS) complex. A gathering system, injection lines, crude oil storage and export facilities have also been installed as part of the facility expansion.
The HBN field is located across Block 403, operated by the Algerian National Oil Company Sonatrach, and Agip (Algeria). Block 404 is operated by Sonatrach and Anadarko Association. The field is unitized between the two associations, with Anadarko maintaining a 74.5 percent stake, while Agip holds the remaining interest.
"Algeria represents a growing portion of Anadarko's global production over the next two years, as gross production capacity expands to more than 500,000 bpd," said Anadarko President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) John Seitz.
Sonatrach, Anadarko and its partners Agip (Algeria), a wholly owned subsidiary of Italy's ENI, and Maersk Olie Algeriet, a wholly owned subsidiary of Maersk Olie Og Gas, completed the first train of the CPF in May 1998 and the second in September 2001.
The fourth 75,000 bpd train, currently under construction at the HBNS complex, will process production from the Block 404 "satellite" fields: HBNSE, BKNE, RBK, QBN and BKE. First production from this fourth unit is expected in August 2002, increasing total oil production capacity through the CPF from 210,000 bpd to more than 285,000 bpd.
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is one of the largest independent exploration and production companies in the world. The company reported production of 558,000 bpd in third quarter of 2001. US operations are in Texas, Louisiana, the Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain regions, Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico. Internationally, it is active in Canada, Algeria, Qatar, Oman, Tunisia, Congo, Gabon, Venezuela, Australia and the North Atlantic. — (menareport.com)

ITE Group plc
("ITE" or the "Group")
Interim Management Statement
ITE Group plc is today publishing its Interim Management Statement for the period from 1 April 2011 to 18 July 2011, incorporating the Group's third quarter trading period from 1 April 2011 to 30 June 2011.
Trading Performance
Trading conditions in our core markets remain as reported in our interim results statement of 16 May 2011. The trends noted in the first half of the financial year have continued through the third quarter with our largest market, Moscow, continuing to trade well and the Group's other markets showing increasingly positive trading patterns.
The Group's third quarter is the most important in revenue and profit terms as it includes six of ITE's ten largest events and accounts for over half of the year's revenues. Revenues in the three month period to 30 June 2011 were £79.4m (2010: £55.6m). This year's result includes the biennial Moscow International Oil & Gas exhibition along with a first time contribution from the spring events of the recently acquired MVK and Krasnodar exhibition portfolios, which have performed in line with the Group's expectations. On a like-for-like basis revenues for the third quarter were approximately 20% ahead of the comparable figure for last year.
The performance of our principal events in the third quarter is summarised below:-
2011 Square Meters
Prior edition Square Meters
Change %
Moscow International Protection & Security
Aqua-therm Kiev
Moscow International Oil & Gas
*2009 event
Business development
On 13 July, ITE announced the acquisition of 60% of YEM FUARCILIK A.Ş "YEMF" (a Turkish company) for a consideration of TL32.64m (£13.1m) payable in cash on completion with a further payment of up to TL8m (£3.2m) payable nine months after completion, based on YEMF achieving performance targets in 2011.
YEMF owns three Turkish exhibitions which serve the building materials and construction industries. The principal event, Turkeybuild, is held in Istanbul in April/May each year and is the leading construction event of its kind in Turkey. The 2011 version was the 34th edition of this successful event, sold more than 35,000m2 net and was attended by over 110,000 professional visitors. The other two exhibitions are held in Ankara and Izmir in September and October respectively
This acquisition provides ITE with the opportunity to further develop its Turkish business in one of its core sectors.
Financial position
The Group had a net debt of £4.2m as at 15 July 2011, after spending over £48m on acquisitions during this financial year.
As at 15 July 2011, the Group had £146.8m of sales booked for the current financial year (this time last year: £106.9m), representing approximately 98% of the market's revenue expectations for this financial year. Bookings for the 2012 calendar of events, including MosBuild 2012, are progressing in line with management's expectations.
The Board remain confident in the Group's long term prospects.

Local drama team reaches state competition
Fri, 29 Mar 2013 19:03:20 GMT —
We would like to congratulate Kirksville High School Drama team for their accomplishments in district competition. On March 1 and 2, The 14 member drama readerâ??s theater placed first in district competition for their interpretation of The History of Mankind by Ken Bradbery and the duet team placed second with their rendition of open to interpretation also written by Ken Bradbery.
â??Because we compete against really bigger schools, Columbia, Hickman, and Rock Bridge as well as competitive schools around Mexico, Moberly, Fulton, It's a pretty tough race and of course only one reader's theater and one one act will get to go to state so it's quite a privilege to be that one group that gets to go,â?? said Denise Clark Kirksville High School drama and english teacher.
Thatâ??s right our very own Kirksville R-III High school drama team will be headed to state competition on April 19 and 20 in Columbia, Mo. Students will be practicing non-stop until the event in April. Regardless of the outcome when the state competition finally arrives, Clark is very proud of her students and knows they will compete to their fullest.
â??We can only hope for the best and of course as a teacher and a mom I feel like I'm their mother and it's a great thing to feel that way. They're going to do well regardless of placing that's how we roll with that,â?? she said.
Break a leg Kirksville High School!

Abstract Primary nocturnal enuresis is a common childhood disorder. Treatment approaches bridge the psychological and medical fields. A substantial body of literature addresses the various ways of treating enuresis, from pharmaceuticals to behavioural interventions. The medical and psychological literatures have proceeded relatively independently from one another and there has been little interconnection between the US and international literatures, resulting in a lack of discourse and integration among researchers investigating treatment outcomes for enuresis. This review examined the evidence base for treatments of primary nocturnal enuresis in children. Psychological, pharmaceutical and multi-component interventions are discussed. This review sought to provide an integrated interdisciplinary and international perspective on treatment efficacy for nocturnal enuresis by expressly gathering publications from psychological and medical fields, as well as US and international sources. The literature supported the urine alarm as the most effective intervention for nocturnal enuresis and demonstrated the benefit of combining the urine alarm with other components, both behavioural and pharmaceutical. In particular, recent literature showed that the urine alarm, when used in conjunction with antidiuretic medication (i.e. desmopressin), leads to more dry nights earlier in the conditioning process. Disparities between the different literatures were discussed.
