Sure, snake oil salesmen sometimes make people feel better, but more often than not they just prevents folks from getting useful treatment. The same holds for finance pros. Many say they can measure investment risk as if it were a science, and that risk measurement, equated with price volatility, can be used to spot hidden gems. Don't believe it, Fools. There are better ways to size up risk.
Analysts love to blather on about beta. On its own, beta is a fairly simple idea. It's also pretty useless. A stock's beta is a number representing its volatility relative to the overall market. The higher a stock's past volatility in relation to the market, the higher its beta. If a stock perfectly matches the market, its beta is 1.0. High-beta stocks are supposed to be riskier than low-beta stocks.
If you took beta seriously, you would have to say that General Electric
Fundamentally speaking
Let's be frank, no magic formula exists to reveal real risk. Beta tells you how much a stock bobs around, but it scarcely gets at more fundamental risk matters. Is there a risk that the company's industry will suffer a slump or, even worse, it won't be around in five years? Is the company vulnerable to competition stealing away its market share? Is there a risk that top executives are cooking the books? Even worse, is there a risk that you are caught up by momentum and are paying 10 times what the stock is worth? Fussy measures like beta don't come close to capturing risks like these.
So, what should investors do to size up risk and spot a hidden gem?
For starters, have at look the company's fundamentals. Risk assessment begins with a look at financial strength. Financial strength starts on the balance sheet. Pay attention to debt-to-equity ratios and cash positions. Which software company has more strength, Microsoft
Make sure accounts receivable (money owed the company) and inventory aren't growing faster than sales, as it suggests things are getting out of control. Think Dell
Consistency and reliability of earnings also signal investment risk. Starbucks
It doesn't stop there. How safe are earnings and cash flow into the future? Does the company have the ability to sail through hard times? That means factoring in fundamentals like industry outlook, business cycles, competitive position, and management capability.
And yes, price does matter, when looked at against those fundamentals. Indeed, Warren Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway
Roll up your sleeves
It's clear that a good bargain carries less risk and higher reward potential. When you buy a stock, you are buying a part of a business. To know whether or not you are getting a good deal, you must evaluate the business. Valuing companies can be tricky sometimes, but it's not impossible. Yes, it probably means a lot more work than just looking up betas. But it's this kind of fundamental research that allows investors to curb their risk.
Forget the snake oil. If a stock has solid business fundamentals and is available at a significant discount to its value, the risk is lower and the prospect of reward is higher. Face it, unearthing hidden gems doesn't mean balancing risk and reward. It's about finding high returns and low risk in the same stock.

"Davar"'s First Original Problem, and Hitler's Contribution to Chess in Palestine
2X Source: Davar, Sept. 1931, problem no. 42.
Eliyahu Fasher notes in his 1964 book, Ha'Problemai Ha'Israeli: Yesodot Ha'Compositzia Ha'Sachmetait [The Israeli Problemist: The Basics of Chess Composition] (Tel Aviv: Mofet Press), p. 36, that the above is the first original problem published in Davar's chess column.
He is greatly surprised by the high level of the problem: two thematic variations, a cross-check with a block, self-pinning and two batteries -- a very nice problem which, he notes, 'is hard to believe was created by an unknown composer' -- Y. Ben Shahar -- 'who only published one problem'. (The solution, as usual, can be seen by highlighting the invisible text below).
In general, notes Fasher (ibid., p. 36), the level of chess problems before 1939 was low: 'In 10 years, about 90 problems were published, of which a large percentage were plagiarized.' This was easy to do, since 'the editors of the chess columns had little understanding in chess problems'.
However, he adds (ibid., p. 37-41), in 1939 we see 'a mass of new problems' from well-known problemists emigrated to Palestine from Europe, and things began to improve: by 1941, many 'quite high level' problems were being composed, especially two-movers.
Once more, Adolf Hitler had, unintentionally, helped the intellectual climate in enemy countries by expelling the brightest people from the land under his control due to their ethnicity. This was true in all fields -- from nuclear physics and mathematics, to art and chess problems.
Solution (highlight text below):
1. Rb4

Hi, would it be possible to give a more complete analysis of this problem? the solution is pretty laconic. Like your site btwReplyDelete
Sorry, only saw your the comment now... in any case, the key, 1. Rb4, threatens 2. c4#. It also allows Black's thematic reply: moving the e6 knight (1. ... Nc5, intending 2. ... Nd3, or 1. ... Nxd4, intending 2. ... Nc2) which, what's more, give discovered checks, now that the rook on c4 had moved. But the threats are defeated by 2. d5# and 2. Nf7#, respectively.ReplyDelete
We have a problem where the keymove allows a discovered check by the firing of a bishop-knight battery, which, in the thematic (second) variation, allows a cross-check by the firing of the queen-knight battery, now possible due to the piece the firing piece (the black knight) having self-pinned itself.

I'll Give You a Dishcloth a Day, Dear
Isn't that how the song goes? Whatever.
It's the 8th, and I have managed to keep the sum total of four dishcloths in my sweaty little hands (or on my sweaty little keyboard, if you like).
Actually that's three and a half dishcloths.
I figure that if I aim for one a day from now to the end of the month, I'll get that order filled. (Oh yes, and some for my brother's birthday on the 20th). My life is going to be very interesting, I can tell.
On a slightly more exciting note, The Great Raw Chicken Viking Hat Knit-Along has kicked off. I'm trying urgently to find the second ball of Paton's Shetland Chunky that I was sure I had around here somewhere.
If I don't find it by 11pm, the hat's going to be in purple. I am determined to start this on time!
Photos to follow when it's complete.

Oh the dishcloths! Hope you find the socond skein, I don't think purple would do much for that pattern. Bruised chicken...Post a Comment

Baseline Performance of NCAA Athletes on a Concussion Assessment Battery: A Report from the CARE Consortium
- 644 Downloads
- Citations
Sport-related concussion and repetitive head impact exposure in contact sports continue to receive increased attention in public and medical spheres. The Concussion Assessment, Research and Education (CARE) Consortium, a multicenter cooperative, was established to study the natural history of concussion in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) collegiate student-athletes across 29 colleges and universities in the United States. The purpose of this investigation is to provide normative data from the CARE Consortium and evaluate for differences between sport categories.
NCAA student-athletes were evaluated annually for general demographics and sport-specific characteristics before the start of the competitive season. We collected demographic and medical history information and evaluated each student-athlete's neurocognitive function, neurological status, postural stability, and self-reported symptoms. Sports were categorized by the amount of contact typically associated with the sport (i.e., contact, limited contact, non-contact). Comparisons between the three sport categories for the evaluated variables were made using linear or zero inflated negative binomial regression models adjusted for gender, concussion history, and household income.
Over a 2-year period (August 2014–July 2016), 15,681 NCAA athletes completed preseason evaluations. Overall, 53% of the athletes were in the contact sport group, 31% were in the limited contact group and 17% were in the non-contact group. After adjusting for covariates, there were statistically significant differences found between athlete groups, although the differences and effect sizes were small and not clinically significant. The contact sport group had better scores on Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment Testing (ImPACT®) visual and verbal memory, Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT) symptom checklist, and Brief Symptom Inventory–18 (BSI-18), but slower ImPACT reaction time and worse scores on Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC). Further, the data indicate that some ImPACT score distributions were noticeably different from those presented in the technical manual.
In this large, racially and socio-economically diverse cohort of male and female college athletes, we found no evidence that student-athletes participating in contact sports have clinically meaningful deficits in pre-season cognitive and balance testing. They also did not report significantly more symptoms of psychological distress when compared with student-athletes in non-contact or limited contact sports. In addition, the data suggest potential limitations when using published ImPACT norms when evaluating injured athletes.
Contributing investigators include Scott Anderson, ATC (University of Oklahoma); Jeffrey Bazarian, MD, MPH (University of Rochester); Christopher Todd Bullers, MD (Wake Forest University); Christopher Giza, MD (University of California–Los Angeles); Kevin Guskiewicz, PhD, ATC (University of North Carolina); Jessica Dysart Myles, PhD, ATC (University of North Georgia); Patrick O'Donnell, MHA (United States Coast Guard Academy); Steven J.

Window motors usually only draw 10amps, so as its blowing a 30amp fuse, I would suspect a wiring problem. Perhaps inside the door itself, a wire may be damaged from the mecanisism moving up and down. Or a plug in connector is wet, do you find the problem happens after its rained?
I know on some mecanisms the motor is run from a relay and senses current being drawn, if current exceeds 10amps then it thinks the window is at the top of bottom of its travel. There is a relay on this control, so if the relay is faulty perhaps it would try to keep going and draw enough current to blow the fuse.

After having called the NOIP to undertake significant procedural reforms in order to enhance scientific and technological innovations in Vietnam, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam held a meeting with NOIP leaders on 29th of September to stress the need for a specific plan for restructuring of the application procedure, IP administrative management and authority collaboration necessary in order to become one of the top ASEAN nations with regard to intellectual property protection.
One of the most important tasks before the NOIP might be the integration of IT platforms which would enable electronic applications and electronic communication between the NOIP examiners and the applicants and their IP representatives. This long awaited measure was greeted in NOIP as well; Mr. Le Huy Anh, Head of Patent No.2 Division of the NOIP said that with implementation of the suggested measures and integrating information technology to the process, the NOIP would be able to receive electronic applications and improve the application procedure speed by the end of 2016.

Historically, this lake was managed as a mixed-species water containing both warmwater species as well as stocked rainbow and brown trout. Although the lake still contains decent numbers of largemouth bass and panfish which extends the fishing opportunity throughout most of the season, trout stocking has been intermittent due to changing water conditions. Water levels allowed trout stocking to resume in 2017 and 2018.
If you're looking for a destination off the beaten path to wet a line, consider checking this lake out. Rough campsites are available on the north end. The access area is privately owned but open to the public through a verbal agreement with the landowner. Please respect the landowners rights and leave this area cleaner than when you arrived. In recent years, water levels have dropped significantly which can make launching boats on trailers impossible. Although current water levels allow launching, surface water runoff eroded the launch area making the launch dangerous and unusable. Boaters may still be able to launch small craft by hand, but WDFW urges boaters to use extreme caution when launching.

If you listen to the Bush administration, it would seem that all terrorists in the world are Muslims, and this simply isn't the case. There are countless little groups throughout the world with their own religious or political agendas that are willing to use terrorism to get their point across. Terrorism is usually the only means of expression for an oppressed people...at least that's the logic I used in Opium to justify the use of terrorism by the heroes of the story.
Today, one group, ETA, used the Tour de France to get their point across. ETA is a Basque movement in Spain that wants their own homeland in the Pyrenees. Since today's Tour stage ventured into Spain, they chose this as an opportunity to commit a terrorist act. They planted a couple of small bombs on hillsides on both sides of the Tour route. However, their goal was not to kill people, but rather to get some recognition, so they blew them up after the Tour caravan (a publicity parade) passed and before the riders actually arrived. No one was hurt, and it was obvious that ETA didn't want to hurt anyone. If this had happened in America, there probably would have been mass panic, and the stage probably would have been cancelled, but the Tour went on without being re-routed. There are so many Basque cycling fans that it would be counterproductive to ETA's goals to actually attack the race. The title of this entry links to a Yahoo article about the "attack."
Still, our "War on Terror" continues to be waged only against Islamic groups. When someone blows up an abortion clinic here in America, they aren't usually charged with terrorism, although that certainly sounds like terrorism to me. I don't care what your opinion of abortion is, killing other people is wrong. The Bush administration has also never addressed other terrorist groups throughout the world...sure, maybe they haven't attacked us, but if we're really going to stamp out terror, shouldn't we be going after it wherever it is?
The plain and simple truth is that terrorism will always be with us, no matter how many wars we "wage" on it. Terrorism can be an effective tool, and although I certainly don't agree with it, I can certainly see why some people might use it. And as far as our current war on terror, I still think it has more to do with religion than anything else...

Romford Town Official Website
RTFC - 3 Vs Edmundsons - 10
Unfortunately, the score above doesn't do the team justice on a night when things could have so easily gone the
other way if lady luck was with Romford Town.
A valiant effort was made by all players, most of them usually on top form when attacking but disorganised when defending.
Most chances were made on the counter as opposition players were pressured well into panic passing or bad dribbling mistakes
so that Romford Town could penalise the mistakes but it just wasn't happening.
From the off things were looking bad as every Edmundson player showed good skill on the ball and made good attacking
runs which caught an unprepared Towner defence unable to stop initial attacks. Within the first 3 minutes Romford Town
were 2-nil down and playing to restore the scoreline but it wasn't paying off. The Towner replies to Edmundson goals
were unlucky as some good play exposed a decent Edmundson defence only for Jones to get unlucky by slamming some fine shots
agains post and bar.
Towns opponents closed down well making individual towner dribbles and runs harder to pull off with any success but Roger
Dogs found space early on from the left hand side to trouble the keeper with right, side-footed shot but the keeper got down
well to his left and fumbled the save. It was enough to save the shot from going in and the keeper collected the ball
before it returned to the pitch outside his area.
Much of same ensued as the match continued to frustrate Romford Town attacks but reward Edmundson attack with goals.
Shit goals, mostly deflections.
After two weeks of half-decent referees, tonights ref seemed to have been bribed by the Edmundson manager as every decision
that should have been a free kick to Romford Town for the 'overhead height' rule went the other way. Determined tackles
and attacks nearly always left our opposition with a freekick which didn't help the Towner cause at all.
At one point John 'No remorse' McGhee started swearing at the fuckwit ref but only got himself a warning for bad language.
Weird, because usually when a player complains about a bad refereeing decision he changes his mind and gives a penalty to
the deserving team. Like fuck he does.
With more Edmundson goals going in and more Romford Town attacks being stamped out it time for something to actually
come off for Romford Town. Half way through the first half, Towners Man of the Match tonight, DMK found himself with
a little space all of a sudden on the edge of the area which the prolific goalscorer punished the opposition for. A
sweet goal curling slightly into the top right hand corner of the goal capped a fine Romford Town move.
The only decision which went the Romford Town way tonight resulted in a penalty after a passback from a player who ran
into his own area slightly. Murrell stepped up to tell Jones to take the spot kick who made no mistake in slamming it
past the keepers right side. Legend.
As the whistle came to end the first half Romford still had a win within the sights expecting more of the same effort
and persistance from the first half to pay off in the second but things went to shit.
Rejoining the second half the Towners kicked off with the classic John McGhee 'shot from the half-way line' but it was
charged down immediately by an opposition player. At the beginning of the second it was 3-2 to Edmundsons but that soon
changed. Romford Town were exposed at the back on multiple occasions as they were unable to contain a team that were
on form as they attacked. Marking one player was useless as more always came to join the attack. Goals from the
opposition were still deflected or lucky though (not biased at all, honest, ask me mum) as the score slipped further away
from Romford Town reach.
Hammonds goalkeeping had done the Towners proud in the first but was unlucky in the second as the shots came flying in.
On one occasion Steve was even nutmegged but thankfully he still managed to save a shot with his face again at least one point
during the match.
Late in the second a further consilation was added to the Towner scorecheet as Murrell found himself in space just a
bit past the edge of the area directly in front of the goal. Controlling a bouncing ball well, the starlet drilled it
into the left corner past the keeper.
Further bad luck dogged the Towners even later in the first half, quite literally, as Roger 'Dogs' was injured after
shooting and was forced to leave the pitch to continue the final minutes of the game on the sidelines.
Finally the whistle went and the Towners left the drizzled-on pitch to cry in the bar, but realisation of an unlucky
night left the boys in hope of making up for it next week.
Reunited with the Towners again, Benny Brace gave a short speech after receiving the honoured Players Player of the season
award on Sunday. 'Thank you' were among the words in the speech.
Individual Ratings
DMK - Did well tonight to take the Man of the Match award
with a fine performance when attacking. Got back well tonight aswell, on occasion being the only player in defence.
A nice goal, well taken aswell caps a good night for Dan.
Roger Dogs - Did well tonight, unlucky with the afformentioned first shot that really summed up the
entire night for the Towners. Battled up and down the pitch with his consistent tackling and attacking and shooting
at the other end.
Benny Brace - There when it mattered most of the time with the tackles but was well conatined by the
opposition players tonight. Those usual booming runs down the wings were absent as a result tonight but Benny's
containment doesn't happen too often thankfully.
Stevie Hammond - Had a sterling first half but lost concentration in the second a bit. Pulled
off some fine saves but most of the time in second half, Edmundson players had too much time and space for Steve to do anything
about it after deflections from our players gave them these opportunities. More effective rolling out tonight.
John McGhee - Not a bad game at all tonight, kept working hard and sticking to it. Tackling was
on top tonight and positioned himself well to intercept and break down a good few Edmundson attacks. Good work.
Chris Jones - Pretty good game for the captain tonight who's tackling was also on form. Difficult
role for Jones as we needed him to come forward and attack but his also missed in defence when he did come forward.
Some nice passing on the attack aswell. Still gunning for that Man of the Match though.
Rickee Murrell - Got a second wind from somewhere towards the end of the second half but fucked up a
couple of passes and shots. Still scored a nice goal though. Did the match report pretty quick for once.

Construction Indicators
Economic drivers relating to the construction industry
Construction Indicators DefInitions
Building Permits (Res And Non-Res): This variable measures the number of permits issued for housing units (single-family home or apartment) authorized for construction. Because permits generally precede construction, they are considered a leading indicator for the residential construction industry and the overall economy. Most of the construction begins the same month the permit is issued. The remainder usually begins construction during the next three months.
Building permit data for the United States, states, metropolitan areas and counties are released monthly by the U.S. Census Bureau. These data are available for both single-family and multifamily construction. However, month-to-month changes in seasonally adjusted permit data are quite volatile, and the Census Bureau suggests it may take four months to establish an underlying trend in permit authorizations.
Data Sources: State of Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT)
Link: Monthly Economic Indicators (MEI)
Government Contracts Awarded: This variable reports the total value of government construction contracts awarded by the State government as reported by the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS). This is the public sector counterpart to private building permits, and is likewise considered a leading indicator of construction activity. New data in this series is published as part of the DBEDT Quarterly Statistical and Economic Report (QSER) about a month and a half after the end of the quarter being reported.
Data Sources: State of Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT)
Link: Quarterly Statistical & Economic Report (QSER)
Link: Construction Section
Construction Employment – BLS/DLIR-HIWI: Monthly construction job counts are published at both the State and County levels by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the State Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR). These estimates are based on the BLS Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey of employers, which asks a sample of business establishments each month how many workers were on their payroll (either part time or full time).
Construction Cost Index: DBEDT reports two construction cost indexes each quarter in its QSER tables: one for a "single-family residence of about 1300 square feet with a concrete slab floor," and a second index for a "high-rise condominium or office-type structure." The indexes "are designed to measure costs to contractors of typical building materials and public-contract labor. However, they do not include the costs of contract overhead and profit, site preparation, utilities-installation, and overtime labor." Initially produced by an industry publication in 1947, the series was later adopted by First Hawaiian Bank and continued by DBEDT when FHB closed its Research Department in 1997.

We have a Chinook arch coming in today. Our temperature will go up to about +10 C today. Yesterday it was -12 C. Do the math: that's a temperature change of 22 C. We get that in Calgary in the winter. It's a nice break when it's heading in the upward direction. It can go back down just as fast.
You'll note that these temperature values are Celsius. This is the metric system (centimeters, degrees Celsius, kilograms). This measurement system was introduced in Canada beginning in the late 1970s (it was a phased process, so not one specific date). I would have been in my early 20s at that time. Prior to that all measurements were given in imperial units (inches, degrees Fahrenheit, pounds).
People my age are rather conflicted measurement-wise. I'm very comfortable in Celsius temperatures because that's what we always hear. Stand outside for a moment and you know exactly how cold "-10 C" is! Same is true for litres - gas is sold by the litre. But for other types of measurements, we often fall back to the old Imperial system.
I'm pretty much "bilingual" when it comes to linear measurement, and tend to jump around between the two systems, so I will sometimes reference in Imperial (inches, yards) and sometimes in metric (centimetre, meters).
So what does this have to do with quilting? Probably not that much.
Fabric is purchased by the meter in Canada, but by the yard in the US. So if you are American and reading about metric measurement, it might not mean too much to you. Similarly, if you're a younger Canadian and not familiar with the old Imperial system (my kids are like this), any references to Imperial measurement may not mean much.
If you are confused, what you need to know is that:
2.54 cm = 1 inch OR 1 cm = 0.39 inches
0.914 m = 1 yard OR 1 m = 1.09 yard = 39.37 inches
100 cm = 1 m
36 inches = 1 yard = 3 feet
So if I start to ramble on about "inches" or "feet" or "meters" or "centimeters" you can come back here to see what I am actually talking about.
Or - if you need even more detail, go to the Metric World Wide Conversion Calculator.

New picture!!
This is a quick post to point out who the new picture is in my blog. That picture is of my second daughter Victoria. Its my favorite picture of her ever. She was not a very smiley baby, it took a lot to get her to smile so we were doing pretty good to get this shot of her. By the way, her birthday is coming up on the 29th and she will be 11 years old. I cant wait to post her birth story later in the month.

Yesterday in Changchun, the capital city of Jilin Province, residents complained about huge piles of snow and garbage mixed together along various roads in some neighborhoods near Yatai Street. The garbage-snow mix was so bad that traveling on the road became a problem.
The 3-meter long garbage-snow piles, along with the recent melting of snow, made the roads muddy. One resident said, "The garbage dump has been like this for a long time with nobody recently coming to take care of it." Normally, sanitation crews are responsible for cleaning up garbage in this area, but no crews have come to clean it in a while. Residents see garbage trucks pass by occasionally, but they haven't recently stopped to pick up the garbage.

As with every potentially great blog there is the obligatory opening post. A little bit awkward, a little bit unsure, but full of hope for something that can bring enjoyment to all those who happen upon it.
Welcome to filofaximile! My name is Emma and I hope to bring to you, within future posts, a little insight onto my interpretation of the filofax and binder organisation world. I stumbled upon Philofaxy a matter of days ago, after I obtained an old Personal Portland form my father, and was curious to how I could use this new (to me) device to my advantage.
Coming from a design background and having a perpetual passion for stationary that comes with such territory, I've found it to be a constructive outlet for my addiction, and a brilliant asset for organising my creative life around my day job. If only I had discovered the delights of binders in my university days; my purse would have been lighter, but I would have been a damn sight more organised!
I wish us both luck in the coming weeks. Hopefully I'll remember to keep posting (thanks to my trusty Portland) and you'll develop/keep an interest in my writing :)
As the great Mr. Miyagi used to say, "Fax-on, fax-off!"

CLARK, NJ — Westfield Town Councilman Sam Della Fera was one of 18 representatives from Union County towns at a meeting of mayors and other representatives in Clark last week. The meeting, organized by Mayor Sal Bonaccorso of Clark and Mayor Coleen Mahr of Fanwood, was designed to bring local leadership together to discuss the affordable housing challenges facing New Jersey municipalities and the two-percent arbitration cap for municipal workers' contracts set to expire in a few months.
"The legislature has allowed the New Jersey State Court to make the rules," Della Fera said. "It was certainly gratifying to me to see the mayors and other representatives of nearly all of the 21 Union County towns come together on a bipartisan basis to support legislation."
According to Bonaccorso, the meeting went well. He said many Union County mayors are concerned about the demands placed on their municipalities by affordable housing.
Della Fera told TAPinto Westfield that he is hopeful that the town of Westfield will be told by a judge next week that it has adequately met its affordable housing obligation.
"Thankfully, Westfield is among the towns that has successfully managed our affordable housing," he said.
But Bonaccorso said that many towns like Clark are almost completely developed and cannot afford to continue to build without grossly overcrowding schools and straining the town's resources.
"Everyone in the room was clear they are not against affordable housing, they are against the density," said Bonaccorso. "None of us want to see our towns or county wrecked in the next 10, 15, 20 years because our towns simply do not have the infrastructure to support the density of building required to fulfill affordable housing requirements. It is going to look like New York City in Union County in the years to come."
As a result of the meeting, the mayors are creating a bipartisan subcommittee to work on developing ideas around affordable housing to present to legislators from Union County.
"We've got a great crop of mayors in Union County, and we agreed this [affordable housing] cannot be a partisan issue. Mayor Mahr and I are heading up this bipartisan committee to gather some kinds of points and ideas for legislation. We will work on getting agreement with mayors and share it with the legislators of Union County — they are a powerful group," said Bonaccorso.
He shared that the mayors are in agreement that state legislators should be working to gain back control of legislating affordable housing from the courts.
Bonaccorso expressed his hope that the Union County mayors will continue to speak up and support the work of the subcommittee and not be swayed by any political ties that might urge them to back down.
"I am not controlled by any party bosses, not now, not ever and I hope that is not going to happen to anyone in the group. It is our responsibility to try to get this done," said Bonaccorso. "Mayors are a big lobbying group, as we addressed the other day, you can't bring in enough revenue to offset the experiences we've got."
The other item on the agenda at the meeting was the pending expiration of the two-percent cap on salary increases for unionized municipal employees, such as police, fire and department of public works personnel. It was created as part of the two-percent tax levy cap, which is not expiring.
"If that's not addressed, it's going to materially affect municipal budgets," Della Fera said. "Again, it's an interest that crosses party lines."
"We need to keep this cap in place," said Bonaccorso. He and Della Fera agreed that the future of the cap could be tenuous based on who wins the governor's seat.
"Murphy got endorsed by the police, fire and teachers [unions] before they even knew who the other candidate was. "It makes me stop and think, 'Hmmm, what does that say?'" said Bonaccorso.
According to Bonaccorso, by the end of this gathering the representatives agreed to conduct quarterly meetings to share best practices, keep the lines of communication open and continue conversations around issues facing their towns.

3 Tips for Navigating Clubs and Parties in College... Sober
Whether we like it or not, alcohol is a big part of college life: from keg parties, to beer pong, to Thirsty Thursdays around your dorm, there are few college social events that don't involve drinking. But if you're a designated driver, or if you simply don't drink, it can be awkward to navigate these situations when the pressure is on to get wasted.
But, being sober doesn't mean you can't have fun and enjoy clubs and parties; there are lots of ways to enjoy yourself and avoid getting hassled to have a drink. Here are a few tips:
1. Get a "Buffer" Drink.
If you don't feel like explaining why you're not drinking to everyone you meet, grab yourself a cup and fill it up with your drink of choice. Most sodas will suffice, since lots of mixed drinks contain it, but for something different, try some soda water with a slice of lime.
A bonus? Lots of bars offer free Coke or other non-alcoholic drinks to designated drivers, so try mentioning to the bartender that you're not drinking and see what kind of deal you can get! Having some sort of drink in your hand will keep the obnoxious party-goers from hassling you, so you can enjoy your night.
2. Let Loose.
One of the advantages of being a sober partier amongst a bunch of drunk college kids is you can dance like a fool, flirt shamelessly with your crush, and laugh until soda water comes out your nose with the knowledge that no one will think twice about your behavior; they will all be acting the same way. So take advantage of this time to enjoy yourself and relax.
Lots of people use alcohol as a way to loosen up and feel more confident, but who needs an excuse to do that? If you're in the right mindset, you can loosen up without any chemical assistance. Use the anonymity of everyone else's clouded judgment and memories to really enjoy yourself and have some fun without feeling self-conscious.
3. Be a Little Devilish
Hey, if your friends are going to insist on getting completely wasted, you have a right to take a bit of advantage don't you? I'm not talking anything sinister, but snapping a couple photos, and asking a few brainteasers can be a lot of fun when your girlfriends aren't running at 100%. Plus, the next morning (when you're the only one feeling great), you'll have lots of fun stories to share that, let's face it, everyone else might have forgotten.
To make up for taking an embarrassing photo or two, be the good friend you know you are and make sure everyone gets home safely. They'll appreciate it, and will hopefully return the favor if you're ever in a similar position in the future.
What do you think?
Do you drink? If not, how do you handle the pressure to drink in college? How do you enjoy yourself as "the sober one" at parties? Leave a comment and tell us about your experiences!

The best part of the trip was after dinner the first night. We went to a restaurant (on someones referral) that was not right in town. After dinner we had to get to the game so we started walking, just waiting to spot an open taxi. The stadium was way too far to walk to and it was freezing cold outside so we walked to the busiest street around and tried and tried to get a taxi. All of the taxis that passed us were occupied so we kept walking in the direction we were supposed to be going just waiting for one to be open. Long story short, we ended up walking more than halfway there before we scored a taxi. This ended up being real fun because we were in a part of town that we would have never seen had we found a taxi easily. We walked by the design district, government buildings, the Opera House, an Asian History Museum, about 1,000 homeless people talking to themselves (why do they do that?), and a ton of cool shops. It was a great night.
The next day we went to Union Square for some shopping and ate lunch at a little outdoor cafe. A protest broke out right in the middle of the square where we were eating. I'm not entirely sure what it was all about but lets just say that I am a little miffed about the way the Tibetans are being treated by China. "Don't believe China's Olympic lies". Who knew there were so many people from Tibet in San Fran?
I love going on vacations, especially with just me and my husband. I recommend it to everybody. It is such a great way to keep falling in love with each other.

Christmas is just around the corner and there's a special event planned for Northumberland as one of its biggest attractions is set to host a unique festive treat.
The Alnwick Garden has been making plans over the last few months to turn the popular attraction into an immersive visual theatre show with projections, lighting, sound and animations.
A Christmas Tale will tell the story of how the garden is to fall under a sorcerer's spell and visitors will travel around the garden in a promenade style performance around the various stops in the attraction.
Each night from Friday, December 18, visitors will be able to take a wander through the garden which is suitable for all.
The project is being brought to Alnwick by digital arts company Enchanted Places.
Director Robin Morley said the company was invited to Northumberland after successful events at Saltwell Park in Gateshead.
"We were invited by the Duchess of Northumberland to look at creating a new amazing outdoor theatre production for Christmas," said Robin.
"What visitors will be seeing is a fantastic night of unfolding projections and that is just one element of this visual theatre production we're presenting."
Robin is working alongside the famous projection artist Ross Ashton and Karen Monid, who famously created projections on Buckingham Palace and the House of Parliament.
Robin added: "We've collaborated on a whole series of projects, Ross has previously projected a piece of the Lindisfarne Gospels onto Durham Cathedral and it was hugely popular."
Speaking to the Gazette, Ashton said: "The projections aren't the entire show but this is part of a larger show, we call them enchanted spaces. In this case it's part of The Alnwick Garden so rather than it being just one event where you stand and look at the projections, people are encouraged to walk through the gardens and look at all different elements of projects.
"You've got live theatre and we are using the garden itself as a character in the story and everything you see has been made for the space.
"We've put the garden under a spell of an ice sorcerer who wants Christmas to stop coming.
"We specialised in making trails for people to walk through and discover at their own pace. We're going to transform the water turret [the old water tower] into a castle of rose sleeping beauty and at the top of the garden we'll be projecting the ice sorcerer's palace.
"Creating the story was the most difficult part because we wanted to start with the garden and the shape it is and use that as a basis of the story. So we'll use light to make a frozen glacier."
The event is suitable for all ages and will run each evening from December 18 until December 23. Tickets for the installation must be booked in advance. You can book a time-slot for when you arrive at the venue but session length is not limited.
You can book online at www.alnwickgarden.com or by phoning 01665 511350. Tickets are £11 for adults, £children ages 5-16 are £6 and under fives are free. A family ticket is £30.
The first 100 bookings in each slot will receive an early bird discount. When booking online, all you have to do is select the time and date from the list on the right then follow through to pay for them.
For the competition, answer the following question:
l Which royal palace did Ross Ashton and Karen Monidfamously create projections on?
We have three sets of four adults packs up for grabs.
Each pack is worth more than £40.
All winners will be put in contact with The Alnwick Garden to choose a date & time for their visit.
Once one has been selected, their tickets will be sent via post.

The Michael L. Buckner Law Firm family expresses its sadness with the news of the passing of attorney William "Bill" McBride.
Bill, a Tampa-area lawyer, ran for governor of Florida in 2002, but lost to then-Governor Jeb Bush. Bill's wife, Alex Sink, was the 2010 Democratic candidate for governor. According to the Miami Herald, Bill suffered a heart attack while on a family holiday trip to Mount Airy, North Carolina. Prior to Bill's entry into politics, he was managing partner of Holland & Knight LLP.
It was at Holland & Knight where I first met Bill. I was a second-year associate with an idea of starting a sports practice. At a firm meeting, I was bold enough to pitch the idea to him. Bill, true to his nature, was intrigued and requested me to submit a business plan. The business plan led to the establishment of Holland & Knight's college sports practice. During the launch and growth of the practice at Holland & Knight, Bill became a mentor to me. His vision and trust allowed me, as a young professional, to develop the skills that I use at MLBLF. Without Bill, I would not be doing what I love.
On behalf of MLBLF professionals, I wanted to extend my condolences to Alex, Bill's children and other members of the McBride family. Bill was a great man, and I will miss him.
–Michael L. Buckner, Shareholder

The temperatures are getting higher, so it's another sign that the annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is just around the corner. Why should you care? Not only is it a great way to see bands that don't often hit the Queen City, but it's a great way to see a lot of music in the course of four days (that being June 9-12). Among this year's headliners are Eminem, Arcade Fire, The Black Keys, My Morning Jacket and a reunited Buffalo Springfield. But if you're headed to 'Roo (or waiting for them to hit Charlotte), here are some other acts we'd recommend checking out:
Florence & The Machine — Driven by the powerful vocals of singer Florence Welch, the band was nominated last year for a Best New Artist Grammy. The band has been touring furiously in support of its debut album, Lungs, and expects to hit the studio this summer to work on the follow-up.
Gogol Bordello — The gypsy punk orchestra of sorts is known for its energetic live show. Some people might hear a song or album and shrug it off, but this stuff is best captured in a live, if not festival, setting.
Hayes Carll — Not too long ago, Carll was in Charlotte spending two hours on the Stage Door Theater stage rumbling through his country-folk tunes and telling whiskey-soaked stories. He wrapped up his night by hitting the Thirsty Beaver for an after-show cocktail. One can only imagine the scene he'll create kicking off the main tents of Bonnaroo on Thursday.
Bootsy Collins & The Funk University — Legend. That sums up the bass-playing wizard of funk. Sure, I wish he was still with George Clinton and P-Funk, but I'll take Collins' legendary style in any form I can see it.
Jessica Lea Mayfield — The soft, sultry and goth-ish vocals of Mayfield can be haunting, if not hauntingly beautiful. Her set will kick off Friday's long day/night of music and is a perfect way to settle in.
Karen Elson — Another Thursday evening performer, Elson is best known as a model and wife of Jack White, but her talent far exceeds any expectations. Her appearance is giving many people hope for an appearance by White, who is often seen at Bonnaroo in one band or another.
Black Joe Lewis — Someone had to pick up where James Brown left off, and I'd say the torch was passed right here. Complete with horns and funky, soulful rock rhythm section, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears will get people moving and grooving early in the day on Saturday.
River City Extension — Another band kicking off the Thursday tent scene, River City Extension's music is some combination of The Avett Brothers, Holy Ghost Tent Revival and Mumford & Sons. It's Americana with a horn section. This is one I'm interested in seeing at 'Roo and will probably catch again when they hit Snug Harbor this summer.
Superjam — In years past, I caught Ben Harper teaming up with John Paul Jones and ?uestlove for a set of Led Zeppelin covers and Les Claypool teaming up with Metallica's Kirk Hammett and Gogol Bordello for a set of Tom Waits covers. Gone for the last two years, the Superjam returns to Bonnaroo this year with featured performers Dr. John and Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. With Robert Plant ending a set just before it, is it too much to ask for him to show up, as well?
Bands that have recently played Charlotte or will be coming this summer include My Morning Jacket (August), School of Seven Bells, David Mayfield Parade (June), Neon Trees, Primus (June), Iron & Wine, Wavves, Grace Potter (August), Wanda Jackson, Amos Lee, Nicole Atkins (June), Kylesa (June), Ryan Bingham (June), Man Man, The Low Anthem and plenty of others.

By Tamara Stark, Boomtown Committee
It seems that after our recent good news announcement regarding the 'open shoot' portion of our Boomtown celebration, sponsored by Veridian Credit Union, there are some questions and concerns regarding the closing of the road.
One of the questions being asked is: will the entire road west of Marvin Lindsey Field (10th Ave. S) be closed?
The answer is yes.
From the start of 10th Ave at the curve on County Home Road all the way to the bridge past the Water Treatment Plant, the road will be closed to all of the public for safety and security reasons.
Will this take away parking in that area?
The answer is again, yes. While we are fully aware that Marv Lindsey Field and the gravel road in front of it have, historically been host to many parked cars, that area must be clear of cars and pedestrians for the safety of everyone…spectators and IPA alike.
Is this an attempt to limit 'free access' to Boomtown?
No, it is absolutely not. If you are not sitting in the grandstands watching Boomtown, then it is a free show. Do we want you in the grandstands? Of course we do. Boomtown is more than just a show, it is an experience; and the absolute best place to fully experience Boomtown is in the grandstands. We are keenly aware of the (literally 2500+) people that come to Vinton for Boomtown, but for various reasons, do not come into the fairgrounds. It is for those people that the IPA works hard each year to secure a radio frequency. So those that are not in the grandstands or at the fairgrounds can still hear the demonstrator introductions and the music to the "Big Show". Our goal for everyone that comes to town for this event is that they fully enjoy it, from wherever they watch. We have a large section of lawn seating inside the fairgrounds that has remained free to everyone for all 11 years of the show. This is a family friendly event, and with the lawn seating area, we've also kept this a budget friendly event.
Boomtown is a true 'one of a kind' event, and Vinton is so fortunate to be host to this event for 11 years now…the loss of the use near the Catholic Church is not the fault of anyone, it is merely a "growing pain" that the IPA and your Boomtown Committee thought hard about and worked with the City of Vinton to resolve. The best possible solution is the one we are moving forward with by using 10th Ave. S. We ask that everyone be supportive of this small change and make their necessary adjustments. If you have previously parked at Marv Lindsey Field or on that road, please, arrive to town a little earlier and plan to park in another area. We do apologize in advance for the inconvenience of having to change your routines, but we ask that you view this as a sign of progression of the show and you'll be doing your part to help us all out.
As always, if you have any questions, concerns or would like to reserve your section of seating, please call 319-558-7476.

Charles Barkley, Mike Hubbard and Ferguson
Fox News has turned Ferguson into a question of who started the riot and Mike Hubbard must be happy as hades about it here in Bleachin Alabama where you make laws to deport state champion soccer teams while his Sunday School class at FUMC Auburn says, Oh Lord I wish it didn't have to be this way.
I'm sure Hubbard's trophy case wife has it top of her prayer list even as I concoct this blog.
Charles Barkley does have a point, without the police a lot of Black neighborhoods would be a jungle, lawless, I forget his exact word. White Folks don't have a corner on Original Sin nor the Fall, though Hubbard's base makes more of an idol of keeping it history and science before Common Core gets to it and get people thinking theologically like Willimon did about Hubbard's immigration bill comparing it to the fugitive slave act.
But Hubbard was abole to massage, contain Willimon, at least through the first round of his indictment and the Iron Bowl while Jameis Winston is a good distraction down in Tallahassee. At least Bama doesn't rape women, just deomocracy and justice and the legacy of Dr Martin Luther King and Frank Johnson--see Bleaching, the Cover Story by Jason Zengerle in recent New Republic; and while your learnin--you out there Yellowhammer News--see Garry Wills in New York Review of Books to see what a piss poor job Joe Scarborough did with his recent history of the GOP.
Had I been on the grand jury with Charles Barkley I mighta voted not to indict Officer Wilson as well. And Michael Brown's stepfather may need to under watchcare of his local Baptist church for getting on a car hood and saying Burn the Bitch Down when the verdict was returned.
That said Barkley and Lebron James with Oprah moderating can take a good listen to the diane rehm show panel yesterday. There are a lot of things that could be corrected about how all this went down. I don't think Brown was Emmet Till; certainly not Viola Liuzzo nor Goodman Schwerner and Cheney nor Jonathan Daniels; still he shouldn't have had to die; Officer Wilson shoulda had better training, more options; but I don't know I woulda done anything different under the circumstances, other than Brown mighta killed me. And I don't like that outcome either.
And Anthea Butler, I read you and think you make some provocative points in religion dispatches..
But all this doesn't let a man like Mike Hubbard, speaker of the House of the State of Alabama and all his Human Shield in the Auburn Football Program off the Hook.
Hubbard debated Toccoa Ga's Ralph Reed in High school just like Furman religion department's Echol Nix debated Karl Rove's good buddy Eric Motley in Montgomery in the late 80s. A Samford grad Motley is now with the Aspen Institute.
lot of big doins goin down in the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the crossing of the Selma Bridge in March--see dreammarcheson.com. After the celebration in Selma, a week later to commemorate Martin's "arc of the universe is long but it bends toward justice"; lets have Speaker Hubbard, Ole Miss's Joe Crespino now at Emory, Furman's Tomiko Brown Nagin now at Harvard, Auburn's Cynthia Tucker, Pulitzer's Taylor Branch, Cornel West or some such mix in an event moderated by Eric Motley look at something bigger than the noise of Ferguson to see just in fact if Mike Hubbard's Auburn Creed notions for Alabama are worthy of Martin Luther King and Judge Frank Johnson's Dream!!!!

Hypothetically, it would be better to be a sociopath to achieve good goals.
You wouldn't worry about harming people's feelings. That said, this would only be a good thing if you were able to apply those skills towards a good end.
And, arguably, a sociopath has a very different definition of what is "good".
Which leads us to the question of "What is the point of emotions?".
Emotions seems to be evolutionary "bumpers" to keep us in the lane. To keep us from doing something that we might regret (in being killed) later.
Emotions remind us that people can do something for us in the future. If we don't treat them well, they will never do anything for us.
And vice versa.
Its an interlocking trust mechanism.
Why do you think emotions matter?

has a wider range of meaning in the NT than in the OT. Its uses in the NT may be analyzed as follows:
(a) "the substance of the body," whether of beasts or of men, 1Cr 15:39;

What We Talk about When We Talk about Logic as Normative for Reasoning
Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Rijeka, 51000 Rijeka, Croatia
Academic Editor: Marcin J. Schroeder
Received: 31 December 2016 / Revised: 13 March 2017 / Accepted: 20 March 2017 / Published: 24 March 2017
AbstractIn this paper, it is examined how, if at all, the logical laws can be normative for human reasoning, wherein the notion of normativity is analyzed primarily with respect to Wittgenstein's philosophy. During the ancient and the medieval periods, logic was being considered in terms of discourse and dialogical practice, but since Descartes and especially Kant, it has been treated as a system of laws with which the process of individual human reasoning has been compared. Therefore, normativity can be investigated in the private sphere (for thinking and reasoning) and in the public sphere (for dialogic practices in a community). Wittgenstein discussed both aspects of normativity: in his early philosophy, the focus is on the laws of logic that are primarily normative for the state of affairs in the world, while in his later works the emphasis is on a social aspect of normativity (which is closer to Aristotle's view), which is derived from the adopted rules that have been applied in a certain community. Taken that way, logic is certainly normative in the public sphere, but the more difficult issue is whether logic is normative for thinking, regarding the difference between the logical laws and those of thought.

I remember I was coming back home from university last summer when suddenly I came across this cat near my home. She was extremely friendly, even let me pet her. But I've never seen her again since. I hope this summer I'll come across her again. 🙂

Bagels are tricky. If you don't get them "just so", they are merely rolls with holes in the middle of them. 99% of bagels are such, and really not worth you wasting your daily carb allotment to eat one.
Like croissants, I've had a couple failures. Bagel dough is very dense, and it needs structure. I've used Peter Reinhart's sourdough bagel recipe, had some success; but the resulting bagel didn't rise enough and they were too flat for my liking. They tasted good, but they were not quite right.
In today's experiment, I'll be using a modified version of a recipe from Baron Bagels as posted in the New York Times (I do love the NYT cooking website), http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014445-baron-bagels?action=click&module=Local+Search+Recipe+Card&pgType=search&rank=1.
Like Reinhart's recipe, I'll be using a combo of sourdough starter and commercial yeast. I expanded my starter last night and it's ready to go- just as soon as I finish my 4th cup of coffee.
Wish me luck!!
