It's not every super-successful director who's humble enough to admit that he once judged himself "miserably untalented." In fact, there couldn't be a filmmaker more self-effacing than onetime department-store window dresser Joel Schumacher, who reached an apotheosis of modesty when he went on Charlie Rose's talk show last summer to plug the cineplex smash Batman Forever (1995, Warner, PG-13, priced for rental; wide-screen laserdisc, $39.98). Here he was, basking in the biggest grosses of a career awash in slick moneymakers (Falling Down, The Client) — but when Rose complimented him on the snappy Bat sequel, Schumacher replied that he could accept good words about Batman Forever only "on behalf of the thousand people that worked on it."
Now there's a refreshingly accurate take on the blockbuster factory. Then again, there isn't much alternative to plain speaking when the home-video market keeps in the public eye a first movie as inept as The Incredible Shrinking Woman (1981, MCA/Universal, PG, $14.98). Schumacher barely refereed this Lily Tomlin-Jane Wagner lampoon of toxic consumerism, but he did bring one clear bonus to the jumble of bad camera angles, shredded continuity, and inept slapstick: his feel for the bizarro polyester-and-shag-pile decor of Tomlin's tract home. That grace note, though, doesn't come across in MCA's grainy, color-drained tape transfer, a relic of the low-tech dawn of home-video technology.
With D.C. Cab (1983, MCA/Universal, R, $19.95), Schumacher atoned by turning to no-special-effects basics. Directing his own script, he crosscuts between jive-talkin' but ever-sage African-Americans (Mr. T, Charlie Barnett) and a dopey white dude (Adam Baldwin) who dreams of running his own fleet. The goings-on are part Taxi, part Animal House, and part Fame, replete with lovable-lug dispatchers, sophomoric stunts, Irene Cara billed "as herself," and a Giorgio Moroder disco score troweled over any moment that, unaccompanied, might fall apart.
Sample happy though he may be, Schumacher has occasionally blazed a trail. Take his technically assured ensemble effort St. Elmo's Fire (1985, Columbia TriStar, R, $12.95), which he cowrote. The roots of Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place are unmistakable in the way that Brat Packers Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, and Mare Winningham preen, pout, muse, bitch, and cross-copulate their way through stylish Georgetown digs. Believability be damned, Schumacher seems to hoot in synch with the '80s zeitgeist; what's a movie if it's not drop-dead attractive?
But that sense of style and pumped-up camaraderie goes haywire in Flatliners (1990, Columbia TriStar, R, $19.95), a med-student melodrama wherein Schumacher takes himself fatally seriously. As Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, Billy Baldwin, and Kevin Bacon brandish the shock paddles and take turns dying for a few minutes, colored lights play incessantly over their furrowed, facialed brows and perfect tresses, tinting every scene burnished gold or autopsy blue. Cassette copies also crop Flatliners' wide-screen framing terribly, putting even more emphasis on faces spouting ludicrous dialogue in tight close-ups.
Next to such an awkward home-screen translation, Batman Forever looks that much more ravishing. The movie itself shows Schumacher nimbly balancing star turns, broad punchlines, and moody decor, while the state-of-the-art transfer elevates his color sense into a tour de force. Each gradation of green at Riddler Jim Carrey's lair looks as if it were spray-painted on your screen. Yes, Schumacher still hiccups nervously when it comes to pacing a narrative. But when he's got this many sparkling bits of visual ephemera to flit to, it's hard to fault him for being enthusiastic. And as you revisit scenes on video, the settings reveal intimate splendors, like Wayne Manor lamps that make Val Kilmer and Nicole Kidman look so fashion-spread foxy. From a man who first flexed his sensibility in store windows, here's a flick that feels impeccably displayed when seen through a tube. Batman Forever: B; The Incredible Shrinking Woman: C-; D.C. Cab: C; St. Elmo's Fire: B-; Flatliners: D

In case you didn't get enough Anna-rambling here
Episode 10 of the Twisted Nether Blogcast is up – and I was their victim interviewee this week! We talk a little bit about the various Annas, how I manage having 4 70's, why all the healers?, how raiding and roleplay work together, and some of the stereotypes about roleplayers (and why they're a load of horse pucky).
Go listen to it here (or download it through iTunes).
And as always, much thanks to Bre and Fim – I had a blast chatting with you guys (and with the rest of the gang that showed up in Skype after the interview)!

Günthersleben-Wechmar is a municipality in the German state of Thuringia in the district of Gotha, not far from Ohrdruf.
Country: Germany | State: Thuringia | District: Gotha | Area: 26.80 km² | Population: 3,100 (December 2006)
The oldest extant document referring to both villages (Günthersleben & Wechmar) is the brevarium lulli, an inventory of possessions of the abbey of Hersfeld. In this document, dating from 786, they are referred to as Wehemare and Gonresleibin. Up to the late Middle Ages, no specifically noteworthy historical events took place; for further details please consult the German version of this Article. Sometime between 1590 and 1600, however, Veit Bach settled in Wechmar, who is seen by most as the "founding father" of the Bach musical family. The most prominent person in this lineage is, of course, J.S. Bach, who was the great-great-grandson of Veit Bach and whose grandfather Christoph Bach grew up in Wechmar before taking a position as city musician in Erfurt. Based on these facts, the Village of Wechmar proudly calls itself "Home of the founding fathers of the Bach musical family" (Urväterheimat der Musikerfamilie Bach). As of 2006, there are once again some descendants of the Bach family living in Wechmar.
The family of the Freiherren von Wechmar can also trace its origins to the village of Wechmar. The former President of the UN General Assembly and former German ambassador to the UN, Rüdiger von Wechmar, who is also an honorary citizen of Wechmar, is currently their most prominent member.
Bach Connection
Wechmar is said to be the place, from where the Bach's family descendent. If J.S. Bach ever stayed in Wechmar is not known. The chronicle of the Bach family (Ursprung) was probably begun by J.S. Bach himself and continued by his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach [46] (1714-1788). The choronicle begins with Bach's great-great-grandfather, the baker Veit Bach [1] (?-<1578].
The Ursprung traces the family as far back as Veit Bach in the mid-16th century. Up to the generation of Veit's grandsons, however, much remains unclear, and the lack of available archival documents in church records and elsewhere makes it impossible to clarify this period in the family's history. The supposition, found in some Bach literature, that Veit was a son of Hans [54] is untenable; this Hans, who can be traced in Wechmar in 1561, must have been a brother, cousin or other relative. Nothing is known of his profession. Although Hans is the earliest bearer of the name of Bach to be found in Wechmar, no further conclusion can be drawn from that. By this time the name of Bach (also often spelt 'Baach', hinting at the phonetic value of a long 'a', as in 'father'; see Bach-Dokumente, ii, nos.l and 6) was widespread in the Thuringian region, and it can be traced back to the 14th century, though there is no evidence that any of these earlier members of the family were involved in musical activity. The Ursprung says of Veit Bach, who was a baker by trade, that his hobby was playing the 'cythringen' (a small cittern). There is an explicit additional sentence - 'this was, as it were, the beginning of music in his descendants' - which probably indicates that none of Veit Bach's ancestors was a professional musician. Neither was Veit Bach himself. He had most likely been driven from Moravia or Slovakia about 1545 as a result of the expulsion of Protestants in the Counter- Reformation, at the time of the Schmalkaldian War (1545-1547). The reference to 'Hungary' in the Ursprung is not to be taken literally and in accordance with the terminology of the time must signify in general terms the central lands of the Habsburg Empire (including present-day Austria and Czechoslovakia). Veit took up residence in Wechmar - a small town located between Gotha and Ohrdruf - and must have died by 1577 as for that year his sons Johann(es) [Hans] Bach [2] and Lips [3/57] are recorded as house-owners in Wechmar. Contrary to current opinion (which is based on the assumption that Hans was Veit Bach's father), Veit Bach did not migrate from Wechmar or Thuringia but (according to Korabinsky, 1784) was born in Moravia or Slovakia, as the son of an earlier migrant, possibly in or near Pressburg (now Bratislava). There, and elsewhere in the Habsburg lands, various people by the name of Bach can be traced in the 16th and 17th centuries, among them musicians such as the Spielmann (violinist) and jester Johann or Hans Bach. It seems noteworthy that Count Questenberg, with whom J.S. Bach had connections, employed a certain Maria Rosina Bach in 1721 as a j maid at his Moravian castle Jaromĕřice.
Another Veit Bach [55] died in Wechmar in 1619; nothing further is known of him. He should not be confused with Veit Bach [1], the head of the Wechmar line of the Bach family; he may have been a son of Veit or Hans. In the 16th and early 17th centuries there were in Thuringia branches of the family which may have been connected either directly or indirectly with the Wechmar line and in which musicians are occasionally found (for example Eberhard Heinrich Bach, son of a Heinrich Bach, a trumpeter from Rohrborn near Erfurt who went to the Netherlands and emigrated to Indonesia about 1598). However, the Ursprung wisely limits itself to the smaller circle which can strictly be considered the musical family of Bachs.
Johann(es) [Hans] Bach [2], Veit Bach's son, was the first member of the family to receive a thorough musical training and to pursue a musical career, even though he also pursued other activities. His sons were the first to follow music exclusively. By accepting salaried positions they became sedentary and distinct from non-organized musicians (or 'beer-fiddlers'), thereby taking the first step towards citizenship and breaking with the tradition of the Spielmann - although in their varied occupations as instrumentalists their background continued to have its effect.
J.S. Bach's grandfather Christoph Bach [5] (1613-1661) was the first one to leave Wechmar. He headed for Arnstadt and Erfurt. In Er4firt J.S. Bach's father Johann Ambrosius Bach [11] (1645-1695) was born, who then worked in Eisenach.
The home of the Bachs in the Bachstrasse 4 is a typical Franconian half-timbered house from the 16th century with a so-called Thuringian ladder, also known as the Bach ancestral house, is Bach memorial and museum of the Thuringian music players and instrument makers. It presents documens and portraits as well as furniture from the time of the Bachs in Wechmar from 1561 to 1825. A plaque reminds us of Veit Bach and his son Hans, who was known as the "Music Player of Wechmar". The three grandchildren Johann, Christoph and Heinrich were also born here. The Lower Mill (NiedermOhle) in the Mill street also belonged to VeiBach and is called the Bach Mill today. It was later bequeathed to his son.

Hydration Tips 101
It was in 2001 when I placed second overall in a 10km race in Seoul, Korea. I will never forget that day having run so well, but what else I will never forget is that I suffered from heat-stroke. I was feeling quite depleted I had to lie down. It was a hot day and the race didn't start until 10 am, and I remembered afterwards I didn't drink enough water before and after the race. What made my condition worse was I had also run a 200 meter race that same day in the heat. By then, I was quite dehydrated and had a massive headache. I wanted to get away from the heat and be in a quiet setting. After getting some medical attention I was feeling better. What I learned from this scary running experience is to drink enough water always.
These days, I drink eight cups of water on a daily basis or more depending on how long I am running. If I am running long about an hour and half then I will also include a sport drink. Usually, on my shorter runs of about 50 minutes I will just drink water. After my runs water never tasted so refreshing. These days during the winter season I still drink enough water. I usually have one cup of coffee before my training run or race, but if I drink one cup of coffee I will replenish it with one cup of water.
I find if I am drinking enough water I am not only running better but feeling better!Making sure I drink enough water is important to me as having the right shoes/clothing to make my runs more enjoyable.

Crawl for the Cause
A Chinese professor bet that officials would disclose their assets -- then lost.
- By Liz CarterLiz Carter is assistant editor at Foreign Policy's Tea Leaf Nation. She lived for several years in Beijing, China, where she wrote and translated three Chinese-English textbooks and studied contemporary Chinese literature at Peking University. Since returning to the United States, she has co-authored a book on subversive linguistic trends on the Chinese Internet and been interviewed about developments in China by the Christian Science Monitor, Forbes, the Washington Post's WorldViews, and PRI's The World.
On any other day, Chinese scholar Fan Zhongxin might have been standing before his students in a lecture hall, but on Jan. 1, he found himself outside on his hands and knees. The professor of legal history at Hangzhou Normal University in eastern China had lost a bet, made one year prior, that Chinese authorities would require most village- and town-level officials to disclose their financial assets before the end of 2013. Advocates have argued that compelling officials (and perhaps their families) to make their income and holdings public could help curb government corruption.
Fan had publicly wagered that the Chinese government would agree, and within the calendar year. "If I lose, it means I'm not even as smart as a dog," he wrote on Jan. 1, 2013, "And I will punish myself by crawling" for about half a mile.
On the first day of 2014, Fan followed through on his promise, bringing renewed attention to the lack of transparency within government ranks. He uploaded to Weibo, China's Twitter, video footage of a lakeside trek that occupied "almost two hours" and left his palms and knees bloody. Many prominent domestic papers picked up the story, and on Jan. 7, video site Youku promoted a version of the clip, which then received over 2 million views in one day. Commenters applauded Fan for publishing it. "I'd like to express my great respect for Professor Fan," wrote one anonymous Weibo user. "Although he was crawling on his knees, he was standing tall in his heart."
Over the past several years, as Chinese Internet users have posted images of bureaucrats wearing luxury watches, smoking expensive cigarettes, or finding themselves caught in flagrante with mistresses, public mistrust of government has deepened. Demands for a more systematic method of public supervision have shown up in online and offline protests. In December 2012, 65 activists, scholars, and lawyers signed an open letter to top leaders calling for official asset disclosure, and in April 2013, activists organized a protest in southern Jiangxi province demanding something similar, which landed three participants in jail.
The ruling Communist Party did not appear pleased with what an op-ed in party-run Global Times called Fan's "performance art," which it declared "not very constructive." State-controlled Xi'an Daily questioned whether it was "appropriate" for a legal scholar to "use such a primitive method" to express views on a serious subject.
In response to allegations of showmanship, Fan told the influential Beijing Youth Daily, "I was only keeping my promise." In the interview, Fan insisted he remained optimistic that asset disclosure would eventually become law — just not this year. When asked on Weibo whether he would renew his bet in 2014, Fan replied: "Thanks but no thanks," adding, "I have given up gambling."

The U.K. Sector of the Federal Reserve's Multicountry Model: The Effects of Monetary and Fiscal Policies
The purpose of this paper is to describe and to analyze in some detail the U.K. sector of the Federal Reserv e's Multicountry Model (MCM). The analysis focuses on the effects of shifts in U.K. monetary and fiscal policies at three levels: (1) within the unlinked U.K. sector, (2) within the linked MCM framework, and (3) within thelinked MCM under the assumption that U.K. policy shifts are synchronized with those in the MCM ot her countries. The contrast between linked and unlinked simulation illustrates t he importance ofinternational feedback effects. Copyright 1986 by Blackwell Publishers Ltd and The Victoria University of Manchester

Proform 810 TR Treadmill Review
treadmill Doctor Note :
If you can find a deal on one of these, you get a pretty solid unit and it should be solid for any walker. If you are a runner, get a more serious machine.
Not Proform's best effort but I guess they all can't be. You can get a much more serious treadmill at one of the warehouse clubs for not much more scratch.

Hello Wolfgang
that is a most unusual composition with great visual impact. It reminds me of the absurdists. fantastic clarity and colours. Thanks for sharing. Have a great new day.
best regards

Hi Wolfgang,
This is a very colourful and vibrant scene in this Art Exhibition, the lady's posture looks very official, is she the organizer of the placement of the art.
The chap who is adjusting his shoe looks glazed about the situation. Love the fact his laces are the same colour orange in the painting to his right.
Pin-sharp, perfect light and colours.
Cheers, Iain.
subhendu_bagchi (26091) 2014-02-27 10:39
nice composition here. I like the thinking behind it. Excellent idea and nice execution of it. Love those colours which created nice graphism with its shapes. Those people, present inside frame are added life to it. A superb one indeed. Tfs.

Ciao Wolfgang
curiosa immagine, la posa dell'uomo è molto originale, ma la cosa che colpisce maggiormente è il modonin cui le due persone osservano, non si capisce bene se osservano le opere, oppure si stiano osservando tra di loro.
Bello scatto, molto profondo, lascia pensare.
ourania (51103) 2014-02-27 13:32
Hello Wolfgang,
a marvellous scene that you composed in an excellent way. The spontaneous sense of the moment, the colourful artworks, the interesting human characters and their interaction make your photo rewarding and fascinating. There are so many stories waiting for the viewer to dig them out. Stories, colours and tight framing work together superbly. Great work, congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,

Hello Wolfgang,
A most entertaining and eye-catching photo from an art-show. A woman watches the paintings while a young man is unknowingly acting like a living installation, since most of us will watch him as much as we watch the paintings and the woman. You create a total connection between art, spectator and TE members.
Kind regards,
daddo (28592) 2014-02-27 14:48
Hi Wolfgang. You are back to the environment where in my opinion your study of human nature is at its peak as you catch people deep in thought or contemplation. As usual you seem to be lucky in that someone in the photo echoes the colours which are on a canvas or installation. The browns, green, orange and white are all shared by the young man and the artwork. Plus his stance is one in a trillion. Enjoyable as usual. Regards. Klaudio.
Hi Wolfgang
I am surprised because your shot is in color!
Nice double portrait in situation with a queer attitude of the man!
Have a good day

New Orleans police have released descriptions of three men accused in a quadruple shooting in the 400 block of Bourbon Street around 9:30 p.m. Saturday.
Two men and two women were injured in the shooting, Officer Hilal Williams said.
As of Saturday night, one of the victims was listed in guarded condition and the other three were listed in stable condition, Williams said.
The incident began when the victim began arguing with two unidentified men, Officer Frank Robertson said in a news release.
The two men left but then returned with another man and approached the victim, Robertson said. One of the men shot the victim three times before fleeing.
Robertson said the man was shot once in the abdomen, once in the upper thigh and once in the pelvic area. He is listed in guarded condition.
A bystander captured the incident on a video camera, Robertson said.
The footage shows the original argument involving the victim and two men. It shows the men leaving and returning with another man then firing at the victim, Robertson said.
Three other victims also suffered gunshot wounds, Robertson said.
Another man was struck in the buttocks, Robertson said. One woman was hit in the chin and the bottom of her right foot, and another woman was hit in the toe, he said.
Anyone with information regarding this incident can contact Detective Michael Flores at (504) 658-6707 or email@example.com, or call CrimeStoppers at (504) 822-1111.
The three suspects in the shooting are described as:
- Black male, 18 to 22 years old, medium complexion, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall with a slim build. He was seen wearing a black wool beanie hat with white stripes.
- Black male, 20 to 25 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall with a heavy build, beard, mustache and a medium complexion. He was seen wearing earrings and a black and white bandana around his head.
- Black male, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall with a heavy build and beard.

Steve "Sweat" Thomas doesn't have a lot of great aspirations for his Sweatstock festival in Point Pleasant. Sweatstock is probably never going to become another Woodstock, and that's alright by him.
"It's all about community," he said.
The festival, which takes place Saturday, features 14 homegrown bands from around the area performing on two side-by-side stages for more than 12 hours of live music.
"When one band finishes, another band starts," he said.
Beggar's Clan, InFormation, Downtown King and Time and Distance are just a few of the bands scheduled to perform.
And it's all free.
"We supply music. We supply food," Thomas said. "We operate strictly off people's donations. Musicians donate their time. People donate money, and so far, it's been a real success."
Sweatstock began five years ago, though Thomas, a lifelong musician, said he and some friends had organized music festivals before.
"We started doing them in 1979 or 1980, but then, you know, life sort of got in the way," he said.
A few decades passed, and Thomas and company decided to start a new festival.
Thomas said what makes theirs different than other festivals is they integrate what they do with the community and keep the scope of the festival manageable. They sell a few t-shirts and drink koozies but stay away from bringing in vendors.
"I won't let that in here," he said. "I don't want a carnival."
Providing food, Thomas added, helps to keep the atmosphere more friendly.
"If you feed people, you kind of control them," he said.
The fare isn't especially fancy: hot dogs and chicken wings for lunch, roast pork at dinner.
They're glad to take donations. A contribution of $50 or more gets you VIP status and a t-shirt. They also take donations of time and expertise. The point of Sweatstock is more about having a good time and less about trying to make a buck.
Thomas said, "We sponsor a softball team and donated to the workers at Ravenswood Aluminum when they were on strike. We took them food."
Held on Thomas' property, the festival offers a shuttle service, and people can camp if they want.
"It's no drugs or any of that stuff," he said. "But I've got some acreage. We've got some woods. If people don't want to go home, they can go pitch a tent and stay the night."
Sweatstock, he said, has a pretty laid-back atmosphere — at least during the day.
"We're leaning toward family-friendly," Thomas said. "You'll see people bringing a kid or two during the day, and it's really just like a big picnic. Now, say 5:30, once dinner is over, we encourage people to take their children out of there. We put on heavier music in the evening and get a heavier crowd that can get a bit more rowdy."
It's rowdy, but it doesn't turn into a free-for-all.
"No mosh pits. We don't let anybody get out of control."
Security is a big deal, particularly now. Last year, Thomas said they had some trouble.
"We had a couple of people, they took off their security shirts and kind of merged with the crowd."
This year, he said, he and the other organizers were digging deeper and hiring people for that work.
So far, Thomas said the festival has stayed at a manageable level, though it is expanding and edging toward outgrowing Thomas' property.
Thomas said they are slowly but surely edging toward having to change the location to accommodate a bigger crowd.
At a rough estimate, more than 1,200 people come out last year. This is based on the number of wristbands they gave out, which Thomas acknowledged was flawed, based on the lapse in security.
"We'll know better this year," he said. "But we're all pretty sure we'll need to look for another place to have it in a year or two."

Do You Need a Maid Service or a Commercial Cleaning Company?
If you run a small office, a retail store, a larger office or another type of business facility, you no doubt are trying to find the perfect company to work with for your janitorial and cleaning needs. Many smaller offices and stores hire a local maid service for weekly or semi-weekly cleaning in their office after hours. However, most commercial businesses will benefit from tmore extensive and thorough cleaning services offered by a commercial cleaning company.
What a Commercial Cleaning Company Is
A local maid service can certainly vacuum, dust, clean the bathrooms and counter tops in your break room and more as frequently as you schedule the cleaning service to be performed. However, in most cases, the services of a maid service will end with these basic cleaning tasks. A commercial cleaner, however, offers you a full range of janitorial needs. Everything from periodic professional carpet and upholstery cleaning to changing light bulbs, recycling and responding to emergency cleaning requests in the middle of the day can be provided to you through a commercial janitorial service.
Exploring Your Needs
Clearly, the services of a commercial cleaning or janitorial company are far more encompassing than a simple maid service offers. As you decide which is best for your needs, it is best to examine your current needs. Your most recurring needs may be to have someone empty the trash cans, vacuum the floors and clean the bathrooms. However, how many times have you been in need of janitorial services during the day? Are your highly skilled staff cleaning up the board room before or after a big meeting when they could be doing other things that make better use of their skills and talents? When was the last time your furnishings or carpet were professionally steam cleaned? Are your blinds in need of professional cleaning?
By reaching out and talking to a commercial cleaning and janitorial company today, you can learn more about the services they can provide. Many of these companies will provide you with the ability to customize a service to meet your specific needs. The fact is that most commercial businesses can benefit from more extensive cleaning services than a local maid company can provide. Whether you need on-site janitorial service throughout the day or simply need a more complete cleaning service offered after-hours, you can consider customizing your cleaning services more thoroughly by working with a commercial janitorial company.

Skipton District Oddfellows have presented a cheque for £1,242.45 to the Skipton branch of Parkinson's UK.
Social and events co-ordinator Rebecca Procter said: "The national conference of the Manchester Unity Friendly Society of Oddfellows, in May, voted to contribute £126,000, over three years, towards research into Parkinson's Disease.
"It seemed fitting that the Skipton Oddfellows should complement this by raising money for the local branch of the society. We are delighted with the results of our efforts."

Mexican soldiers have detained two army generals, including a former assistant defense secretary, over their alleged links to organized crime.
According to the Associated Press, retired General Tomas Angeles Dauahare, who was assistant defense minister from 2006 to 2008, and General Roberto Dawe Gonzalez were being investigated for alleged ties to a Mexican drug cartel.
Gonzalez led an elite unit in the western state of Colima and is still stationed in the area, the BBC said.
"The generals are making a statement because they are allegedly tied to organized crime activities," an official at the Attorney General's Office told Reuters today.
Mexico's organized crime unit was questioning the men, the BBC reported.
The army has been on the frontline in Mexico's war on drugs.
More from GlobalPost: Occupy Mexico? How about 'End the Drug War'?
President Felipe Calderon deployed soldiers and other military personnel at the beginning of his term in 2006 to fight the powerful and well-armed drug gangs.
But more than 47,000 people have died in the ensuing violence and polls show Calderon's government, the National Action Party, is likely to lose power in the July 1 presidential election.
There has been a spate of violence in recent weeks. Last Sunday, the mutilated bodies of 49 people were found dumped at the entrance to the town of San Juan in the country's north where the hyper-violent Zetas drug cartel is fighting the powerful Sinaloa Cartel for control over smuggling routes into the United States.

Week 18 Approach Shots: Boeing ClassicAugust 27, 2009
PGA TOUR staff
Tom Kite is definitely on display this week, as both the defending champion of the Boeing Classic and as the co-designer (with Bob Cupp) of Liberty National, host site of The Barclays, the first event in the 2009 PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup.
A year ago at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge in Washington, Kite entered the final round trailing by three strokes and shot a Sunday 66 on the strength of five back-nine birdies to overtake Scott Simpson and win by two.
Quick facts WHAT: 18th of 26 official Charles Schwab Cup events WHEN: Aug. 28-30 WHERE: Snoqualmie, Wash. COURSE: TPC Snoqualmie Ridge ROUND 1 TV: GOLF, Fri., 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. ET ROUND 2 TV: GOLF, Sat., 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. ET ROUND 3 TV: GOLF, Sun., 7 to 9:30 p.m. ET KEY LINKS: Scores | Power Rankings | Tournament site
Kite has had an excellent season despite not winning. Prior to missing the cut at the U.S. Senior Open, he had five consecutive top-10 performances, the best a fourth-place showing at the 3M Championship. Kite is 24th in the Charles Schwab Cup standings.
FINALLY FEELING GOOD: Peter Jacobsen is back healthy on the Champions Tour and is scheduled to make his first appearance in the Seattle event since 2005. He has suffered right-knee (2008), lower-back (2007) and left-hip (2006) injuries over the last three years that have kept him out of action during the latter part of each of the previous three seasons. Jacobsen's best finish at the event was a tie for 20th in 2005.
PLAYOFF FRIENDLY: The seven-man playoff at the 2007 tournament was the largest in a PGA TOUR-sanctioned tournament. The all-time record on the PGA TOUR is six players -- at the 1994 GTE Byron Nelson Classic and the 2001 Nissan Open. The previous high on the Champions Tour was five players at the 1996 Emerald Coast Classic and the 1998 Kroger Senior Classic. The high on the Nationwide Tour is four players. When Denis Watson won the 2007 overtime session at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge with an eagle on the second extra hole, it marked the first time since the 1985 Merrill Lynch Golf Digest Commemorative (Lee Elder defeated Peter Thomson on the first extra hole) that a playoff was won with an eagle on the Champions Tour.
JACK'S POPULAR TRACK: Opened in June 1999, the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course, has earned numerous accolades in the last decade. In 2002, it was certified in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program and was also recognized that year by Golfweek as one of the top-100 modern courses. It was also ranked as one of the top TPC courses in the country. The TPC Snoqualmie Ridge is the last of four TPC courses to host Champions Tour events in 2009.
LONG-TIME HOST OF CHAMPIONS: Prior to the Boeing Classic, the Greater Seattle area was the home of a previous Champions Tour event -- the GTE Northwest Classic. The event ran from 1986-1995 and was held at Sahalee Country Club (1986) in Redmond and Inglewood Country Club (1987-95) in Kenmore. The champions of that event were Bruce Crampton (1986 and 1988), Chi Chi Rodriguez (1987), Al Geiberger (1989), George Archer (1990), Mike Hill (1991), Mike Joyce (1992), Dave Stockton (1993), Simon Hobday (1994), and Walter Morgan (1995).
Weather forecast for the Boeing Classic FRIDAY, Rd. 1 SATURDAY, Rd. 2 SUNDAY, Rd. 3 Mosty cloudy
Temp: 72 high/55 low
Few showers
Temp: 69 high/55 low
Partly cloudy
Temp: 75 high/56 low
Boeing Classic snippets Charles Schwab update: Fred Funk continues to lead in the Charles Schwab Cup race, but there's a new man holding down second place -- Loren Roberts. Roberts trails Funk by 356 points with Bernhard Langer now in third place, 436 points back. Don't get early hopes: In the first four years of the Boeing Classic, no first-round leaders/co-leaders have gone on to victory, and David Eger (2005) is the only co-leader after two rounds who has eventually won this event. The heart behind Boeing: The primary beneficiary of this event is the Heart Institute at Virginia Mason, which has been a pioneer in the introduction of massive surgical techniques, anticoagulation management, cardiovasular risk reduction, as well as diagnostic and interventional cardiology.
PICTURE OF CONSISTENCY: Although he eventually won the 2007 event in a playoff, Watson carded three consecutive rounds of 69 in regulation. That made him the last player to win after shooting the same score each day over 54 holes. Before Watson's victory, Steve Veriato had been the last winner to record the same score over three days at the 2001 Novell Utah Showdown.

does anyone have any experience with the (single) 'pop-up dome mosquito net' and/or the (single) 'mosinet pop-up mosquito net'? i'm going on a backpacking trip, staying in hostels and guest houses.
thank you in advance
does anyone have any experience with the (single) 'pop-up dome mosquito net' and/or the (single) 'mosinet pop-up mosquito net'? i'm going on a backpacking trip, staying in hostels and guest houses.
thank you in advance
Strangely enough... me again.
I slept under a mosquito net for over 2 years in Africa so I guess that makes me qualified to say my opinion!
I slept under a four poster one most of the time. It's not so suitable for hostels and the like. But a good long term option...in case you find a nice hostel. It also pulls out far from the bed, which is good considering what I say a little later.
Ok the dome one. hmm, the only dome one I used has a center hook. Meaning it can be put up anywhere fast. I've used one in a hostel once on the lower bunk at it work perfectly. In the upper bunk its difficult as you have put the center hook up in the ceiling, and not many hostel owners like you putting holes in their roof
Never used a pop up one, so I will decline to answer that one.
Just a couple of pointer though. I would actually use the chemical soaked nets this time. They keep the flying creatures away, and kill on contact.
Bring extra string and hooks, the screw kind. And duct tape, you can usually rig anything up then.
Oh, and make sure your net has a neat bag, they are light but can get bulky.
I think you said in the last post you were headed to Europe and SEA? I think your safe from the flying bugs in Europe, and in SEA it depends where, but so far I have not had too much trouble with bugs at night.
In Malaria infected places, put the net up. It's the best form of protection from mosquitos at night.
Hope you stay bite free!
Bite free!! I'm hoping for that, too.
I'm going to India (and following, Thailand, (Australia!), Laos, Cambodia). I saw the ones with the hook, but wasn't sure about them - mostly cause of the ceiling part (I don't think they would like holes in their ceiling, either) - but I didn't think duct tape was usable! I thought it would be too sticky or something, and may or may not damage the net somehow. If you used duct tape, then that is a go.. I haven't used a net before, so I may be a bit upside down in how it all works.
But I'm definitely going for the treated net - the more protection, the better!! Do you know if the treated net "runs out", or something like that, as time passes? Does it need to be re-treated with permethrin or something after a period of time?
Thanks again, OC!!
The treated net should last 6 months to 1 year, depending on the brand. They usually come with a treatment pack. A couple little tablets you dissolve in a bucket with the net.
The trick with the net with the center hook is the extra string you bring along and the duct tape. Just use the string and tie it onto the loop in the net, then use that as the base for your duct tape and the roof.
Of course if you have persuasive powers, it's better just to get a lower bunk or a hotel owner that does not mind.
If it's any consolation to you in North India I never had a problem with Mosquito's. And never heard of to much hassle in Thailand Laos and Cambodia either... but then that all depends a little on where you stay. How much a mosquito annoys you, and the most important thing... malaria zones.
To be honest, most people bring them along, use them once. Get fed up of taking them along, and never use them again.
This is fine, just use it in the Malaria zones.
Also, going back to your silk sleeping bag thing. I bought an over sized one, a double. That stretches above my head. This serves too purposes, one to pull over one's head if there's an annoy bug buzzing around. And two to pull over one's head when an annoying fellow traveler turns the lights on then your sleeping!!!
Good luck with the shopping!!
Ahh!! Ok, I think I get it.. I'll make sure to bring extra string (and duct tape!). Thanks! I'm glad to know they come with a treatment pack..that makes it so much easier (the tablets, I mean), I thought it would have to be something like a bottle of stuff that I would have to find somewhere. It makes sense, though. I don't know why I didn't think of it.
Mostly, I'm just paranoid (I would be the five-year old kid that brings an umbrella on a sunny day). I've never been to SE Asia before, so I guess I'm just overly cautious. It's good to know there wasn't much of an issue with mosquitos in those areas, though. Makes it a bit easier, haha. Although I'll definitely use it in malaria zones.. that's the main part (to me, anyway).
Hahaha!! I haven't bought my sleeping bag liner yet, but I was going for size, too. At one store, I checked their "small" size, it was big enough to practically double over half of me. I'm used to hiding in slightly larger (or fitting, but nicely proportioned!) sleeping bags when camping etc, in general. So I was happy to find they wouldn't be too small!! Although it was only one brand, but I think it'll be ok. Thanks for the tip, though!! One of my friends also suggested getting earplugs, but I don't think I can sleep with things sticking out of my ears.
Thanks so much!!!! I'm going out today to check out some places.
you're welcome.
I hare earplugs, but they really do come in handy.
The best pair I ever had I bought at the airport, they came in a pouch. Can't remember the name. But they had a little hole in the middle to help you ear breath (hey I ain't no doctor so I can't explain it either). But they did work well.
On a stand, at the airports, Grey zip bag, and two noise reducer holder type thingy's.
Happy shopping and good luck with all
Those sound way better than the ones I got..it was from a pouch from ..Lufthansa? Airlines? I think..several years back, anyway. It had a bunch of things inside it, like tooth brushes, etc..and ear plugs. But they were yellow and felt like styrofoam and were a little sinister. It's funny, but that word completely fits. I'll see if I ever come across those..I'm curious now!!
Thanks a lot!! Have a great day!

National Fuel Gas Needs a Spark
National Fuel Gas (NFG) is set up well for an upside breakout. The natural gas utility is taking out a heavy overhead trendline that had linked the stock's May and June highs. NFG will likely need a volume jolt soon, but the early price action this week is very bullish. Once the stock is past the June peak of $62.25, I expect NFG to make a run a new 52-week high.
NFG is lifting off a major support zone it had reached in late June. The $57.00 area is the home of the 2012 highs and had previously held the April lows. The rally following the April 17 bottom carried NFG to new 2013 highs. The pullback that followed the peak in May was a much deeper version. The stock was driven to an oversold reading while retracing 50% of the powerful bull move off the January lows. This action has given NFG a solid foundation for a new rally leg....133 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Each Thursday, WolverineNation will take a look at five storylines for the Wolverines heading into Saturday's game. Here are the storylines for Michigan as it starts its conference title hunt off with a trip to Purdue.
1.) Denard needs to make plays in the passing game. The Wolverines will have a very hard time beating anyone if quarterback Denard Robinson turns the ball over five times. But considering Marshall was able to put up 439 yards in the air against Purdue, that might be the way to go to get the 'W.' In order to do that, Robinson needs to hit his receivers in stride, not throw off his back foot, make the right checkdowns and make the right reads. At times, he has done that, but not often enough.
2.) Short will be a tall task. Kawann Short is going to be one of the better defensive tackles the Wolverines' offensive line faces all season. And just two weeks removed from the Notre Dame game, which saw 23 missed assignments from the O-line, Michigan needs to shore up its offensive line or Short will have a big day. The 6-foor-3, 315-pound Boilermaker is averaging a sack a game and Michigan coach Brady Hoke -- a defensive coach -- has already recognized Short as one of the best D-linemen in the conference.
3.) Don't give up big plays. Hoke touched on it during his Wednesday news conference, but one of the ways to help yourself on the road is not to allow the opponents' fans to become too much of a factor. A team can do that by not allowing big plays. The Wolverines have allowed at least one a game, despite marked improvement by the secondary. But, as the Big Ten race heats up, those are going to be the aspects that separate the top teams from those who don't make it to Indianapolis.
4.) Get the run game going. This has probably been a key every week, but it's going to be a staple of any team. And it's especially obvious for the Wolverines because of their lack of run game so far this season. Fitzgerald Toussaint needs to have his game in order to really get his season going, and the Wolverines are hoping its sooner rather than later. As long as Toussaint is quiet, Michigan is pretty much one-dimensional with just Robinson (though, yes, he is multidimensional).
5.) The defensive line needs to be stronger at the point of attack. The defense was much improved against Notre Dame, and that all starts up front. When the front four are able to get more push at the line of scrimmage, it helps everyone else out. When they're flat, the linebackers and secondary are called upon to do too much. Purdue quarterback Caleb TerBush threw four touchdowns against Marshall and he's feeling good right now. If the Wolverines give him too much time in the pocket, he'll continue to look good.

A bond reduction motions hearing scheduled in Jackson County District Court on Friday for Topekan Filip Chase Rosario has been canceled.
Rosario is charged with attempted capital murder, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy, two counts of rape, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated battery and criminal threat — all felonies.
During his preliminary hearing April 3, his attorney, Ron Evans, said he planned to file a motion to reduce Rosario's $500,000 bond.
Judge Michael Ireland set a Tuesday filing deadline and the Friday motions hearing. Evans didn't file a motion for bond reduction, according to the court. Therefore, Friday's hearing has been canceled.
Rosario's alleged victim during the preliminary hearing described how she had been beaten, raped, burned and kidnapped during a December attack in Holton.
Rosario remained in the Jackson County Jail on a $500,000 cash or surety bond Thursday.

Movie Review: Avatar IMAX 3D
I noticed a few details I had missed the first time. The Na'vi have 4 fingers on each hand (one thumb) and the avatars have 5. I guess that's because of the mix of human/na'vi DNA, but if they're supposed to blend in with the natives... I also noticed that Cameron's camera is always moving. It works for showing the action and it's not shaky or nauseating at all (it's better than the constantly cutting), but a few times I wanted to stare at things and it was difficult.
My opinion of the 3D hasn't changed. There are times when things seem to be projected on glass, surfaces that should be solid seem a little transparent. A theory is that it's an artifact of the polarized lens used for the 3D. Both times I saw it used this system instead of the shutter glasses. And I still hate when things in the foreground (like floating seeds) are out of focus. But otherwise it works and the flying scenes are gorgeous. I did notice two cheesy effects when guns were pointed at the camera, but that wasn't a big deal and is more likely just something that's bound to happen from time to time rather than a deliberate 3D-ism.
If you have the choice, seeing it in IMAX is better, but there isn't a great need to see it a second time in IMAX if you didn't the first.

It's very difficult to match physically correct reflections in stereoscopic 3D. In reality, reflections appear further back in space than the surfaces they're projected on. They have virtual distance from the viewer to the reflected object. In stereoscopic space this is psychologically unpleasant.
Our eyes are pretty good at focusing on a reflected virtual distance in the world, but it turns out our brains can't compute that if you simulate the exact same phenomenon using stereoscopic 3D.
Pixar solves this problem by solving all reflections at the depth of the reflective surface. Essentially, this flattens out the reflected world. I don't know if that's what's happening in Avatar. I felt like the reflections were deliberately made abstract (either blurry or otherwise indistinct) so that our eyes wouldn't focus on them.
The VFXshow podcast had a great commentary on this problem on their episode for UP.

text: Is there any prospect for easily getting ranges of floats in numpy, rather than just integers? In R, for example, you can specify a decimal value for the step size. It would be great to be able to do the following: arange(0, 100, 0.1) for a sequence from 0 to 100 in steps of 0.1. It seems rather unpythonic to have to do this: arange(0, 1000)/10.

7 Colors is a logical game for two players. The rectangular board consists of rhombs of 7 colors. At the beginning of the game players occupy two opposite corners. Players make moves by turns. A player can change her/his color, which re-paints all the occupied rhombs. If the chosen colour coincides with the color of an unoccupied rhomb in the closest neighbourhood, that rhomb goes to the player. A player wins when she/he occupies more than half of the board.

Police say McEwen suffers from dementia and advanced Parkinson's and requires medication. He walked away from the facility with no medication and no means to provide for himself.
McEwen is 5-foot 6-inches to 5-foot 8-inches tall, approximately 140 to 180 pounds, and has green eyes and mostly gray short hair. He was wearing blue jeans and a dark gray v-neck T-shirt.

(CBS News) Since it was announced last week that J.K. Rowling, author of the hit "Harry Potter" series, would be writing more books - this time geared towards adults - the internet has been abuzz with chatter about the new novels' possibilities.
Read More: J.K. Rowling to publish first novel for adults
Fans who followed Rowling since her first book, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," which was released in 1998, are now college age and older. It seems that they too are ready for a more adult book from the beloved author who many claim made their "childhood."
On Twitter the reaction seems to be overwhelmingly positive.
"So, J.K. Rowling gave us our childhood. Now, she's giving us out (sic) adulthood with a new book. #AllHail," one fan tweeted.
"Keep Calm and wait for J.K. Rowling's new book," another fan wrote on the site. While others were more straightforward about their excitement, "I can't wait to read J.K. Rowling's new series."
The "Harry Potter" series came to an end in 2007 and fans still seem hungry for more J.K. Rowling.
"I need J.K. Rowling's new book. like, now. please," another fan tweeted, but they all will have to be a little more patient to catch Rowling's series.
The detail of the book, including its title and publishing date, has not been released. Rowling has announced that Little, Brown will publish the forthcoming novel.
Tell us: Are you looking forward to J.K. Rowling's new books?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - First Lady Michelle Obama asked television and food company executives at a White House gathering on Wednesday to sell youngsters on healthy food with the pitch: "If anyone can make our kids eat their vegetables, it's all of you."
Mrs. Obama cited the power of advertising, now a torrent touting salty, fatty and sugary goodies, in calling for a switch to marketing, "foods that have real nutritional value, foods that are fortified with real fruit and vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy."
The speech headlined "a convening about food marketing to children" was in the State Dining Room of the White House and was part of Mrs. Obama's campaign against childhood obesity. The Let's Move initiative, launched in 2010, encouraging physical exercise and more nutritious school meals is the best-known element.
Last week, Mrs. Obama gave a push to a new "Drink Up" drive for Americans to consume water rather than sugary beverages.
Seven dozen companies and advocacy groups were invited to the White House gathering. The list included Burger King and Taco Bell, General Mills, Kraft, Walmart and Mars among food companies. Time Warner, Disney, Univision and Viacom were among the media companies. Community groups, consumer groups, academics and health advocates also attended.
The goal was to engender collaboration among the companies and groups to make it easier for families to eat healthier meals and find out how marketing could help.
Mrs. Obama suggested that media companies could keep ads for unhealthy foods out of children's programs and devote their licensed characters - she used the example of characters from Sesame Street - to promote healthy foods.
Sam Kass, executive director of Let's Move, said, "we're committed to continuing the dialogue and making progress," following the session on Wednesday.
In 2011, the Federal Trade Commission failed to get food and beverage makers to agree to voluntary guidelines on marketing to children. Since then, there have been various initiatives by individual companies or business coalitions to reduce calories in their products or set a code of conduct on marketing.

The Jewish philanthropic world is not worried that a downturn in U.S. stock markets so far this year will hurt investment in Jewish causes.
The economy generally has been booming since the early 1990s. And despite a market crash when the high-tech bubble burst in 2000 and after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a bull market that resumed in 2003 pushed indexes such as the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrials Average back to record highs earlier this year.
The boom has led to an infusion of cash into the Jewish world.
Some comes from a huge growth in personal wealth, which has allowed the likes of casino mogul Sheldon Adelson to start a foundation that is expected to pay out more than $200 million a year to Jewish causes. It has let others make landmark individual gifts to Jewish institutions such as the $100 million gift this fall from Ronald Stanton, chairman of Transammonia, Inc., to Yeshiva University.
Some of the cash influx is due to the tremendous growth in the number of private foundations. There are 10 times as many private foundations today as there were 20 years ago, the Institute for Jewish and Community Research estimates.
With some $30 billion invested in private Jewish foundations, which are required by law to pay out at least 5 percent of their assets each year, foundations now give more to the Jewish community than do federation campaigns. The private foundation world has given a huge boost to Jewish education initiatives and has spearheaded such landmark initiatives as birthright israel.
And they could give even more in coming years: Assets of major general foundations rose 2.8 percent in 2005, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy. Though 2006 tax reports are not yet in, returns on their investments seem to have skyrocketed last year as well.
"Overall, foundations have seen real large growth," said Ian Wilhelm, a senior writer for the Chronicle of Philanthropy who cove! rs found ations.
Jewish foundations have grown with them.
The Baltimore-based Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, for instance, grew by $100 million last year to $2.15 billion, largely due to holdings in Hawaiian real estate, according to Chief Operating Officer Rachel Monroe. The foundation has doubled its assets through investments since Harry Weinberg died in 1990.
Murray Galinson, chairman of the board of San Diego National Bank and vice chairman of the Jewish Funders Network, has his own foundation and sits on the boards of several others. He has seen foundations with which he is affiliated grow by as much as 10 percent last year.
Much of that growth is due to the bull market, but the stock market has stumbled since the start of 2007. The Dow Jones Industrials and S&P 500 have taken sharp downturns, with the steepest so far occurring Feb. 27, when the Dow dropped 3.29 percent and the S&P 3.47 percent in a single day.
After rallying a bit this week, the Dow was down 2.6 percent for the year as of market close on March 15, and the S&P was down 1.7 percent for the year.
Still, even as analysts warn that the bull market could be over, experts are not concerned that it will seriously affect Jewish giving through foundations or direct gifts.
Foundations generally are safe even when the market dips, for several reasons. For one, they ve been working in recent years to diversify their portfolios.
In the 1980s most foundations kept their money in stocks and bonds, but since then they have begun following diversified investment strategies that universities such as Harvard and Yale have used to build huge endowments.
Especially in the past several years, foundations have invested heavily in alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity, currency trading and real estate, according to Steve Voss, principal of Ennis Knupp, a consulting firm that advises foundations on investing.
Mo! st found ations also have long-term investment strategies that can weather short-term market losses, according to Jeffrey Solomon, president of The Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies.
While short-term stock market dips create a pall, they don't generally turn immediately into changes in grant making, he said.
Further, the sheer size of some foundations should be enough to protect them during a market downturn.
It might have a short-term effect, but the assets of foundations are continuing to grow, and think about it: If you re a large foundation of hundreds of millions of dollars, if the market loses 10 percent of its assets, a $300 million foundation will turn into a $270 million foundation. It s not going to have a serious effect, said Gary Tobin, president of the Institute for Jewish and Community Research. The assets are going to continue to grow and the amount of money coming into the Jewish community is going to continue.
Those outside the foundation world also aren t concerned by a slowing of the stock market.
Increased personal wealth has contributed to a tremendous infusion of cash into endowment funds.
The Jewish Communal Fund of New York grew by 24 percent in 2006. The fund took in 80 percent more in December 06 than it did a year earlier, according to Sue Dickman, the fund s executive vice president.
On the West Coast, the Jewish Community Endowment Fund of Greater San Francisco has grown from $300 million in 1996 to over $2 billion now, with the largest increase coming between 2005 and 2006, according to director Phyllis Cook.
Between year-end 2004 and year-end 2006, the endowment jumped from roughly $770 million to $1.8 billion, according to figures it provided to JTA.
Cook attributes most of that to supporting foundations finding themselves with assets that had steeply increased in value, and with sudden wealth from venture-capital investments in high-tech.
Personal wealth ! also has led to a serious influx of money into donor-advised funds, in which donors give money to a third party and guide the fund s allocations. These funds allocate donors money at a relatively low cost, while donors still reap the tax benefits, according to Mark Charendoff, president of the Jewish Funders Network. The JFN will convene hundreds of foundation officials March 18 at its annual conference in Atlanta.
Even if personal wealth does not continue to grow as fast as it has in recent years, the philanthropies should be fine, Charendoff said. In part it s because people today aren t waiting until they ve definitively conquered the business world to start giving back: They are giving money while still making money, which means that much of the newly acquired wealth already has been invested in charities.
Even if the market does take a hit, those running organizations don t expect a slowdown in funding anytime soon, provided that recipients of the money show results, according to Jerry Silverman, executive director of the Foundation for Jewish Camping.
His organization s budget comes from direct donors and has about doubled in the past year from its 2006 level of $4.1 million.
I strongly believe that it s just like in business today: People look at their philanthropic investments and want to see results, Silverman said.
I liken it to my favorite football team, the New England Patriots, he continued. The owners, Robert and Myra Kraft, major supporters of the Boston federation and other charities, have done a great job of filling Gillette Stadium. They have set up such a great franchise and the fans are coming."

It is hypothesised that autism symptoms are present in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), are familial and index subtypes of ADHD. Autism symptoms were compared in 821 ADHD probands, 1050 siblings and 149 controls. Shared familiality of autism symptoms and ADHD was calculated using DeFries-Fulker analysis. Autism symptoms were higher in probands than siblings or controls, and higher in male siblings than male controls. Autism symptoms were familial, partly shared with familiality of ADHD in males. Latent class analysis using SCQ-score yielded five classes; Class 1(31%) had few autism symptoms and low comorbidity; Classes 2-4 were intermediate; Class 5(7%) had high autism symptoms and comorbidity. Thus autism symptoms in ADHD represent a familial trait associated with increased neurodevelopmental and oppositional/conduct disorders.
