On my Fuji s2000hd I have a zoom error, the screen is black and I can't take pictures. The lens will not zoom out. I believe that my husband put the lens cap back on before the lens had gone all the way in when he turned it off but I am not positive that is the problem. The lens seem centered and there doesn't appear to be anything blocking it from coming out. Is there a way to fix this?

I applied lens cleaning fluid directly to the lens of my camera, a Fuji F50FD digital compact, but it seems to have leaked into the lens housing. Any photos I now take appear with mutiple fine white streaks across them. Curiously, when I shoot in video mode the footage appears completely unaffected. Is this something that I can fix myself - is it just a question of taking the camera apart, then cleaning the inside with care? Or would the lens housing now to be replaced?

Would that make the pics fuzzy or out of focus? Or is there something else?

Clarke Pleased With Team Spirit
Steve Clarke has admitted he has a fair bit of disappointment from the Sheff Wednesday game, but overall he was pleased with the spirit the lads showed to get themselves back into the game.
Speaking to wba.co.uk after the 1-1 draw, Clarke said he felt we were very unlucky to go behind in the manner we did - a deflected cross - and whilst our performance and our heads dipped for a while, he was pleased to see us show the spirit to get back into the game.
'It was a good performance, apart from the first couple of minutes, when we made a couple of sloppy passes, we controlled the game until Wednesday scored. It was an unfortunate goal and our reaction to losing that goal was disappointing, as we didn't get back into the game before halftime. There were a lot of tired legs, and there wasn't quite the same sharpness, but we basically controlled the second half. We had to rely on a long range shot from Peter to get us a draw, but it was a well deserved draw. It was good for the players to get a little reward for their efforts.'
Hasn't really been a flying start to pre season, but they are all about fitness so we shouldn't be reading too much into the results.

Every Heart A DoorwayMcGuire, Seanan
Children have always disappeared from Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere else. But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children. Nancy tumbled once, but now she's back. The things she's experienced, they change a person. The children under Miss West's care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world. But Nancy's arrival marks a change at the Home. There's a darkness just around each corner, and when tragedy strikes, it's up to Nancy and her new-found schoolmates to get to the heart of the matter. No matter the cost.

What happens when an investment doesn't pan out? Especially if it's a human investment? Unlike the Stock Market; where a failing stock might bounce back if given time, putting money on the barrelhead of a living, breathing human being carries with it risks of not just the head, but the heart as well.

Michael Vick: Dishonored, Convicted, Embarrassed: Deserving of a 2nd ChanceJuly 4, 2011
Redemption. Forgiveness. Rehabilitated. Remorseful. Sincerity. These seem like great themes for posters that could go on a wall at a correction center. When applied to today's world of athletics, these words take on deeper, more controversial meanings.
Professional athletes are people who are superior in certain athletic abilities. That is all. They are not superior people in terms of morality, citizenship, or social behavior.
They are held accountable to the same laws and standards as everyone else, therefore, when an athlete has shown sincere remorse in his or her actions and seems to be on the path to true rehabilitation, why don't they deserve a second chance at rebuilding their career?
Michael Vick is the latest to stir up the pot of moral judgment. It's no secret that he was convicted behind dog-fighting charges in 2007 and spent 21 months in federal prison. The national outrage against him was monumental, rivaling no other athlete before him.
Upon his release, he began a campaign to not only rehabilitate his image, but to show true remorse from his actions. He surrounded himself with people who are held in high esteem in the public's eye such as former Indianapolis head coach Tony Dungy.
He has worked with animal rights groups, appeared at many high schools and community centers, spoke out denouncing dog-fighting, done various types of work with PETA and his work continues.
For all of his off-the-field activity, he has been recognized by his peers being voted the Ed Block Courage Award winner, given by his Philadelphia Eagles teammates. He has also been awarded the BET Sportsman of the Year award and the NFL 2010 Comeback Player of the Year.
So why is there so much public outcry because NIKE has resigned him to an endorsement deal? NIKE has since released this statement: "Michael acknowledges his past mistakes. We do not condone those actions but we support the positive changes he has made to better himself off the field."
Other athletes and celebrities have been given second chances for crimes or societal wrong doings, and where is the outcry for them? Marv Albert, one of the most popular NBA TV announcers today, was charged in 1997 with forcible sodomy.
His charges were dropped but he was given a 12-month suspended sentence. He was subsequently dropped by NBC for three years before resurfacing for the 2000 NBA Finals.
Marion Jones, a highly decorated track and field U.S. Olympian, served a six-month sentence for lying to two grand juries about taking steroids in the BALCO investigations. She has regained national recognition as a member of the WNBA's Tulsa Shock in 2009 and is currently on their 2011 roster.
Kobe Bryant was accused of sexual assault in 2003 in Eagle, Colo. The charges were eventually dropped because the victim refused to testify, but an undisclosed amount was agreed on between the two sides as a civil suit was privately settled.
Bryant was dropped by McDonald's and Nutella, two of his largest endorsements, but has since regained a stranglehold on the endorsement arena landing other big name company such as NIKE and Cola-Cola, who stuck by him during his allegations.
No one, not even Michael Vick, has tried to make light of his charges, actions and convictions. But in a country built and rebuilt on mistakes, trial and error and second chances, why should this man be vilified for the remainder of his life?
I applaud his continual actions that show his sincere remorse. Everyone deserves a second chance. Without it, we may have never experienced Iron Man I or II, right Robert?

Unfortunately, not all businesses are destined to keep their doors open. If you can recognize the main warning signs your business is in trouble, you might be able to inspire and initiate helpful changes to make a difference, or at the very least, get yourself ready for a polite but timely exit.
Clues Trouble Is Lurking
Company leaders cannot provide a clear vision or specific goals.
Solid businesses let a definitive concept of what they want to achieve or be drive everything they do. They also communicate objectives to workers clearly not only to improve efficiency, but also to inspire and motivate. If your company can't tell you what to really work for, they're likely floundering and have little way of measuring if progress is actually taking place. A symptom of this problem is a high number of employees hopping from position to position or from department to department.
Upper-level workers put every expense under a microscope and projects are delayed.
Watching costs more can signal that the company is having serious trouble bringing in enough cash to cover costs. Related project delays generally happen because more members of management become involved in signing off on funds, managers wants more documentation or research from workers before they'll sign off and because leaders are still divided about the best use of available money. Businesses also may tighten their belts in areas like perks, timekeeping or pay raises.
Meeting numbers go up…and you're not invited.
More closed-door meetings than normal can be a sign that leaders are chewing on tough issues in the company. The results often include significant changes to the company's structure, policies or workforce, which might mean your job is on the cutting block.
Turnover jumps.
High turnover usually means that a company isn't doing enough to sell itself to workers and keep morale up, be it in a lack of benefits, not resolving problems or failing to develop a team mentality. Be especially wary if you see core leaders such as your C-suite vacating their positions with little notice or explanation, as it typically signals the presence of internal conflicts and the potential for new leaders to completely revamp the business – with or without you. You also should be concerned if leadership doesn't bother to replace workers who vacate.
Advice to Patch the Holes in Your Business Hull
As scary as the signs of trouble in a business can be, they're not impossible to fix. For example, a good tactic on the road to creating a business vision with clear goals is just to write down things your company has done that you're proud of, as Ari Weinzweig of Inc. points out, or to get insights from friends, colleagues, mentors and others. Exploring alternative forms of financing, as guru Mark Kramer suggests, may free you to pay providers on time, be more open to innovative projects and offer morale-boosting financial incentives to workers. Don't rule out business loans for bad credit here, and as long as you are in a position to pay back the loan, the funding could be quite timely. Lastly, a general policy of total openness, coupled with soliciting ideas and feedback from those on your payroll, can build trust, keep workers feeling valued and slash turnover.
Companies in trouble often exhibit similar warning signs. You sometimes can save a floundering business if you address these symptoms early, so don't automatically quit.

Jonas Kyratzes, one of the writers behind PS4 title The Talos Principle, is well aware that some people might be put off the game by the perception that it is prohibitively highbrow.
After all, while the idea of a 'first-person philosophical puzzler' might sound intriguing to some, there will inevitably be others that roll their eyes at that concept, writing it off as some elitist, arty, indie indulgence.
However, when we asked Kyratzes about the philosophical aspect of The Talos Principle, he explained that while the game might deal with some philosophical concepts, this doesn't mean that it is going to bore you with tedious lecturing, or display a pompous self-satisfaction about its knowledge of philosophy.
"The Talos Principle engages fairly directly with a variety of philosophical concepts," Kyratzes said.
"The title itself refers to a philosophical principle that is explained within the game, and the story is very much intended to make you consider the great questions of life."
Here, Kyratzes himself pointed out that The Talos Principle might sound a little pretentious, but argued that this isn't really the case.
"It's not that the game is Philosophy Simulator 2014 or some horrible edutainment borefest or anything like that. It doesn't want to test your philosophy skills or impress you with name-dropping," he explained.
"We just think that science fiction is particularly good at dealing with the difficult questions that face us both as individuals and as a species. These topics are worth thinking about – but they're also interesting and fun."
So, what is it that you actually do in The Talos Principle. Well, solving puzzles is obviously a key part of the game, but it seems that there is some element of exploration and interpretation on the player's part, too.
Kyratzes jokingly referred to the game as "a less frustrating Myst"; if exploration, puzzle solving and a need for the player to interpret events for themselves do form a key part of the game, then that comparison seems apt.
The Talos Principle will ask the players to make their own judgement about what's right or wrong and to provide their own answers to the questions that the game poses.
However, Kyratzes explained that players who don't want to delve into The Talos Principle's story and get involved in its philosophical ruminations won't be forced to do so.
"Some elements of the story will be revealed as you make progress through the game, but a lot of it can only be found through exploration and careful thought," said Kyratzes.
"It's really up to the player. If you want to dig down into the story, figure out what's going on, you can do that, and I think it will be rewarding.
"If you'd rather just solve puzzles in a surreal environment, you can do that too, and you'll still have an interesting journey."
In our opinion, too many games are afraid of engaging with themes that might not be seen as palatable to a mass audience.
On our part, we're quite happy to do a bit of thinking when The Talos Principle comes out on PS4 later this year.
Oh, and if you're an Xbox One owner, we can't promise that there will be an Xbox One release of The Talos Principle, but Kyratzes didn't write it off, saying that he "believes it will be coming to quite a variety of platforms", but that he couldn't definitively say which ones.

The lead United Nations agency tackling the AIDS epidemic, along with rock and roll icon Annie Lennox, today launched an action plan to empower women and girls to protect themselves against HIV.
Known as the Agenda for Accelerated Country Action for Women, Girls, Gender Equality and HIV (2010-2014), the five-year plan partners the UN with governments, civil society and development partners to address gender inequalities and human rights violations that put women and girls at risk for HIV infection.
"The operational plan that we are launching this morning has been needed for some time now," Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro said today at a meeting on women and HIV.
"For too long, the inequalities that affect women and girls have made them more vulnerable to HIV. For too long, societies have been unable – or unwilling – to talk about these inequalities as drivers of the epidemic. For much too long, cohesive action to address these inequalities have been lacking," she stated.
More than 33.4 million people have been living with HIV worldwide since December 2008, half of them women. In sub-Saharan Africa, 60 per cent of people living with HIV are women.
"I believe we need a broad movement for change," said Ms. Lennox, an advocate since taking part in an HIV and AIDS event with Nelson Mandela in South Africa in 2003. "I see this Agenda for Action as a great opportunity to bring the realities faced by many women and girls to the forefront and to call attention to the injustices faced by many women and girls, placing them at a bigger risk of HIV."
Speaking at a news conference in New York, Ms. Lennox noted that the face of the epidemic has changed from "the intravenous drug users, sex workers and the gay community" in the 1980s to that of a heterosexual young woman who is at risk of infection from rape or from her husband.
She also called for long-term commitment, not only from governments to follow through on their commitments, but from the media to keep HIV and AIDS issues and stories in the spotlight.
"I've been trying to think how we can get the message across, especially to people in the Western countries so that they can understand that AIDS has not disappeared. HIV has not disappeared. It's still here and it's very, very strong," she stated.
Michel Sidibé, Executive Director of the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), said today's launch was about creating a new movement around gender equality and HIV and AIDS issues, and mobilizing people for urgent action.
"Urgency which is about stopping violence against women. Urgency which is about making sure that HIV/AIDS response will target more access [for] women to services which are available. Urgency which will call for a new mobilization of leaders to reduce the number of new infections among girls," Mr. Sidibé said at the same news conference.
Combating HIV and AIDS and reaching gender equality are among the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) world leaders have agreed to achieve by 2015. The UN General Assembly will review progress made on the goals at a special meeting in September.
Today's launch comes on the sidelines of the 54th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women being held in New York until 12 March. This year's session marks the 15th anniversary of the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action – the outcome of the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995 – which remains the most comprehensive global policy framework to achieve the goals of gender equality, development and peace.
Speaking at today's meeting of the General Assembly to commemorate the Platform for Action, Ms. Migiro noted that there are many good and promising practices to build on, from legislative change, policy development and capacity building to sector-specific initiatives and efforts to improve data collection.
The challenge is to expand and apply such practices more systematically, replicate them wherever possible and use them as the basis for better policies and programmes, she stated, adding that "we are all determined to finish the task set out in Beijing."

Purifying RNA from Solution with RNEasy? - (Apr/04/2012 )
Does anyone know the minimum ratio of buffer RLT that you can use for the RNeasy kit? I want to purify RNA already diluted in a solution, and I don't want to use too much buffer RLT. The RNA cleanup protocol indicates you can mix 100uL of RNA in water with 350uL of buffer RLT to start, but is this the limit?
I have done purification with RNeasy a few times, and as a result I have seen that I could only obtain 1/2-1/3 of the RNA at the end. So you will get your RNA diluted even more. Buffer RLT is required for lysis of the cells. Since you have no cells in your case, I don't think it is very crucial to have high amount of RLT. However, I never done this part with low amount of RLT, so I am not 100% sure. Maybe you can try this with lower amounts of RLT with some expendable RNAs, if you have enough columns.
For info: Tech support told me that it is necessary to use at least a 3:1 (RLT:solution) ratio.

Indians add three players to the 40-man roster

Barnes, 24, spent most of 2011 at Triple-A Columbus after two starts in Double-A Akron to begin the season, going a combined 8-4 with a 3.45 ERA in 18 games/17 starts (99.0 IP, 85 H, 36 BB, 107 K). Over his last 10 starts with Columbus from May 24th to July 10th he was 5-3 with a 2.58 ERA (59.1 IP, 49 H, 19 BB, 63 K) before injuring his left knee in a start at Toledo on July 10th. The injury turned out to be an ACL tear and he had season-ending surgeryater required surgery. At the time of the injury he ranked 4th in the International League in strikeouts (90), 7th in batting average against (.240), 10th in wins (7) and 17th in ERA (3.68). The Indians acquired Barnes from the San Francisco Giants in July 2009 in exchange for infielder Ryan Garko. He owns a four year minor league career record of 31-23 with a 3.87 ERA in 82 games (77 GS, 423.0 IP, 366 H, 155 BB, 435 K).
Diaz, 22, spent the entire 2011 regular season at Double-A Akron where he led the team in games (133), hits (133), total bases (192), multi-hit games (35) and doubles (24) after hitting .255 (133-522) with 24 2B, 4 3B, 9 HR & 60 RBI in 133 games. The switch-hitting shortstop was 6th in the Eastern League in at bats and 16th in hits. He was an Eastern League All Star and was promoted to Columbus for the postseason where he hit .250 (8-32) with 3 2B, 4 RBI and 5 runs scored in all 8 playoff games. He was acquired from Seattle in June 2010 along with outfielder Ezequiel Carrera in exchange for infielder Russell Branyan.
Salazar, 21, was limited to eight starts between Lake County and the rookie Arizona Indians this past season after undergoing reconstructive surgery on his right throwing elbow the previous August. In those eight combined starts he posted a 3.07 ERA (14.2 IP, 14 H, 4BB, 18 K). He owns a five year career minor league record of 15-15 with a 3.47 ERA in 60 starts (272.0 IP, 260 H, 82 BB, 198 K).

Research Grants Awarded through Mason, Inova Health System Collaboration Fund
Posted: May 21, 2010 at 1:03 am, Last Updated: May 20, 2010 at 4:12 pm
What do you get when you mix a world-class health system with an innovative, entrepreneurial university? A very successful research collaboration.
For more than a decade, researchers at Northern Virginia's Inova Health System and Mason have been collaborating on groundbreaking research on obesity, liver disease and cancer.
In 2009, the two took the relationship one step further with the Inova Life Sciences Research Collaboration Fund – George Mason University in which Inova Health System provided Mason with $1 million to stimulate and enhance collaborative research in the life sciences.
Zobair Younossi, vice president of research at Inova Health System, presented the second installment of the fund to Roger Stough, vice president for research and economic development at Mason, on May 13.
The 2010 funding program is now open and accepting applications until July 1. To view this year's guidelines, visit the research web site.
"The hope of this fund is to encourage additional areas of research collaboration between investigators at Mason and Inova, and it has been very successful so far in doing so," says Younossi.
"Our research results will be used to implement discoveries in new disease biomarkers and develop individualized treatment protocols and outcomes research projects that we hope will help our patients in the long term."
Last September, 16 two-year grants were awarded to health researchers from Mason and Inova Health System through the fund to study issues related to chronic disease management, obesity, heart disease, stroke, end-of-life provisions, genomics, proteomics, ethical issues and patient experience.
"I am most pleased with the development of this program that includes 16 teams of joint Inova-Mason researchers all focusing on a clinical/medical advanced research issue or problem," says Stough.
"The collaborative nature of this program is contributing to the development of broad research relations and capability between the two organizations. This endeavor is further propelling the extension of not only research but also personnel decisions that in turn are deepening regional medical and clinical research capability and capacity."
A list of the 16 grants announced last fall follows.
- $40,000 to Deborah Boehm-Davis (Mason principal investigator), Nicole Werner (Mason) and Maureen Burke (Inova) for "Developing Procedures to Reduce Medical Errors"

National Defense Forces are groups of men and women forced to train on using arms to defend their country after the west decided to democratize their Syria using NATO's Al Qaeda Wahhabi Jihadists.
A report in Homs with the NDF women training in their center and then on the streets.
The report done by Juhaina News, an independent Syrian based news agency.
Syrian women had no choice but to carry weapons and train on using them to support the Syrian Army in protecting themselves, their families and their country from the Wahhabi Sex Jihadists infesting their country.
After their country was subjected to the worst aggressive 'war for terror' supported by a collection of countries that each has a bad enough reputation in brutality, war crimes, oppression and long history of blood spilling, and after the Wahhabi religion clerics issued fatwas for 'Sex Jihad' in their country, the Syrian women saw no other choice but to learn and train on defending themselves, their families and their country.

Where is AOL? MySpace? Or now Barnes and Noble? These companies were titans of success and innovation. Now, they are left behind. This is because management and their staff failed to recognized the dynamics of a free market, failed to provide their customers what they want. They failed to give clients what they desire for a price in a manner and mechanism that is user friendly, cost effective, and can reach a large audience.
What does this tell us? The failures of these companies is sad, but healthy for America and the American economy!! How is that? Are we nuts? No! We are actually one of the only sane players in an insane market that recognized failures of business is healthy and cleans the market.
Thanks goodness the government decided to stay away from the companies as they were floundering and offer bailout money or subsidies to keep them alive. As Marie Antoinette said when a business is dying, "Let them eat cake." The predecessors to these market losers are Amazon.com, Google, and Facebook. Look at the jobs, taxes and US wealth that was created by the industry in a normal market purge.
If GM and Chrylser were allowed to fail we would probably have an auto industry today that made the most efficient cars. Maybe even with affordable green products. Please Washington, let them fail. It's healthy.

Welcome to your new journey. This book has many stories of triumph and success. It follows my life story, along with many others, to show how we all changed our lives through craziness, diversity, loss, grief, break-ups, heartache, devastation, health issues, eating disorders, abuse, addictions, and the list goes on. Living in the now is what works for me. If you are not happy with your life as it is now, perhaps modifying just one viewpoint or outlook can help you discover and live your life's purpose. Isn't it worth at least giving it a shot to reap the rewards the same way we did. We all have a past, but we need to focus on the present. My hope is that you recognize a piece of yourself in one of us and realize that if we can change our lives for the better; you can too! ANYONE CAN!

text: LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- President Barack Obama vowed again Tuesday night not to negotiate in connection with raising the U.S. legal debt limit. Obama made the remarks after the House of Representatives passed a deal to undo much of the fiscal cliff of austerity measures that began going into effect at the start of the year. Obama thanked Democratic and Republican leaders for approving the deal, but he added that "we all recognize this law is just one step" in dealing with U.S. debt problems. The U.S. officially reached its legally mandated borrowing limit Monday, according to the Treasury, which has taken special measures to avoid a default until the debt limit can be raised. But Obama stated Tuesday that he wouldn't engage in negotiations over raising the limit, saying "we can't not pay bills we have already incurred." A partisan tussle over extending the debt limit in 2011 resulted in Standard & Poor's downgrading the U.S. credit rating.

Yeah, and it makes me sad for her. She seems like a sweet girl. And she was so happy.
That guy she dated must have been a complete jerk. Telling her he loved her then telling his friend he was "not falling in love or anything". What a s***head. He's obviously another Cameron, playing the girls because he knows the camera is there. He seemed nice, but I guess he's just a jerk.
Cameron is full of it. He breaks it off with Jessica when anyone can tell he likes her. He kept on saying he didn't want her to kick him out of her life, and he loves hanging out with her but....but what, dumb ass? That means you like her! Again, playing the stud for the drama. Ugly too. Poor Jess, wonder when she will learn. She freaks me out, she cant ever just speak her mind and say what's pissed her off, she acts all coy about it and can't seem to be herself. I guess shes a nervous sort of girl or something, but she comes across as defensive and of course a guy will get tired of that. If she would grow up a little bit and relax, just be herself, then maybe something would work out for her.
As for Tessa and her new guy friend, he is part of that whole group that hangs with Kyndra's bitch crew. But seems nicer so far. But damn! when she walked into that barbeque at his house, I felt sorry for her...she said "hi" to them all, to everyone there I guess, and that witch Kyndra said it was boring there and were they all ready to go. She's just downright nasty. I can't believe these girls act this way with the cameras on them. It's quite ridiculous, they have no reason to be as hateful as they are. I hope those guys quit hanging out with them but they won't. It reminds me of how dumb high school kids can really be. And how mean. I felt horrible for Tessa and I was just here in my house watching! I can't believe their parents don't tell them it does NOT make them look cool to be so mean. Of course lots of teenagers don't listen to their parents anyway, lol. I know I wasn't in the habit of doing that. I'm rambling now. I'm sleepy.
I'm not looking forward to this next episode at all. I hate to see Rocky get hurt. ugh.
rocky and her boyfriend are painful to watch. They are just soooo boring. Neither one of them has ever much to say to the other one. I could have told it was doomed from the moment they introduced him.
Looks like Nikki and the gang are getting hardcore. **cough**COKEHEADS**cough**
This seriously disgusts me.
What, does she think she's a rosk star now?!?1

I wish you had a favourite beauty spot that you loved secretly/'Cos it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see/Basically, I wish that you loved me/I wish that you needed me/I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, actually I meant three. - Kate Nash, "Nicest Thing"
Partying (with coke) in high school? Bad bad bad. It's a dangerous drug at any age - but when you're young like that, you're much more likely to do something stupid (like too much at once). If you know you're on a tv show - why would you possibly let someone take pictures of you cutting up a big pile of blow? Are there any other kids we know in that picture? Is that Derick on the end?
I totally gagged when the cashier said the total.Originally Posted by Darellwins;2100422;
The camera did cut away and we didn't see how she paid, if she paid at all, for her purchases. Wonder if MTV paid or if the boutique gave her the items because the boutique was on the show?
I'm only as strong as the cocktails I drink, the hair spray I use, and the friends I have.
Honestly, Kristen is the real reason why most people watch the show - also why season 2 was so focused around her.
Personally, though both Jessica and Alex are tools, Jessica is just plain hotter. End of discussion. She's annoying, but I think most viewers will agree that they'd prefer her over Alex.
Sidenote: I wanna move to the OC
The Laguna Beach kids do drugs just like kids in high school all over america. They just have more money to buy more drugs. Last year, pictures surfaced of Stephen taking bong hits and one of Alex and a big bottle of liquor. You can tell they are messed up in many scenes throuhout LB history. To name just a few: Jason and Jessica's fight in the back of the limo (do you think he was just a little drunk), Kristin and Alex at the Mardi Gras party last year (it really looked like e to me) and I would wager to guess one of the reasons Jason was always so quiet was because the boy was baked out of his brain. I have heard rumors that Jessica really likes to smoke pot and that is why she becomes friends with so many guys. Why do you think she is so much fun to hand out with, until you become her boyfriend.
Jason was recently arrested in NYC for having drugs on him and you know that the "cool kid" inner circle parties all have the secret no cameras allowed room.
Tessa looked so cute with her new boyfriend!!! I hope it works out well. And I hope that she won't forget about Rocky. Rocky had a boyfriend (seemed to be breaking up now) but never forgot that Tessa was her best friend. I hope Tessa treats Rocky with the same respect.
It's sad that Cameron thinks he's so hot. It's sad that Jessica just keep chasing what't not hers. It's really sad that Cami wasted 4K for nothing.
Isn't that Tessa's boyfriend in one of the pics in the bottom right corner. I guess he's not that geat of a boyfriend after all!!

To the editor:
There have recently been letters to the editor that question the value of a citywide rental registration and inspection program that expands to include all neighborhoods. The current city rental inspection program only covers single-family neighborhoods even though most rentals units and large complexes are located in multi-family neighborhoods. The present program has been in place for 12 years and has been effective in registering landlords and providing healthy and safe living units for tenants.
At present, less value seems to be placed on rental neighborhoods as there are no inspections and the burden of resolving issues in substandard units falls solely on the tenants. Renting units to the public is a business. It is logical that such units should be required to meet health, safety and environmental standards. Many businesses require inspections and a license to operate.
City staff has presented a program to the public and the City Commission that is fair, revenue-generating and results in little or no cost to the city. An expanded rental registration and inspection program should reflect the same standards that have been used for 12 years in single-family neighborhoods. The City Commission can take pride in implementing a citywide program that will benefit and protect our entire community.

Fantasy Baseball: Wednesday News and NotesMay 13, 2009
So I've gone through three sets of batteries in my television remote over the last week. Why? They keep putting the Celtics, Bruins, and Red Sox on the same night. The only decent part about last night is the start times were staggered much better.
Still, the productivity in the Boston area today is going to be way down. Between the dramatic Celtics comeback (a game they had no business winning), the Bruins forcing a game seven, and the Red Sox playing out west, there is no way much gets done before 10 AM today.
Just isn't going to happen.
Plenty of news coming out of baseball yesterday, so let's get to the notes.
Tuesday Rewind
- Ryan Ludwick left yesterday's game with an apparent hamstring injury. The injury is likely to send him to the disabled list. Need a fill-in and want to stay in St. Louis? Chris Duncan is going to see some extended time, and it's possible that we see Skip Schumaker play some outfield with Brendan Ryan getting the time at second. Away from the great Midwest, keep your eyes on Mark Teahan, who is swinging a good bat and is OF eligible in many leagues.
- Kevin Youkilis was officially placed on the DL yesterday with his oblique injury. What's more interesting about this is that yesterday Rocco Baldelli took grounders at third base. With Mike Lowell's hip injury and David Ortiz struggling, there may be something to using Lowell as a DH to let him rest, putting Baldelli at third, and keeping Bailey at first (short-term). Keep an eye on this one. The Red Sox can't let Ortiz keep struggling like this and stay in the three-spot.
- According to John Halpin, the Angels will get both Ervin Santana and John Lackey back over the next couple days. I'm more bullish on Lackey than Santana when it comes to using them in their first start back. Santana was something special last year, but much like I viewed Joe Saunders early this season, Santana will have to prove it a bit to me again.
- Derek Jeter is listed as day-to-day with an oblique injury. The problem has been a hindrance over the last week or so and simply hasn't improved. Ramiro Pena and Angel Berroa are both likely to see time at shortstop if Jeter misses an extended period.
- Ubaldo Jimenez continues to dominate at home. As pointed out yesterday, his problems have strictly come against the Dodgers. At home specifically, he has been nearly unhittable. Jimenez gave up just one run over seven innings last night on seven hits and a walk. He's going to generate some buzz on your waivers sooner rather than later.
- Knox Bardeen pointed this out yesterday, but I'll throw it out here as well. Chris Davis continues to strike out at a record Rob Deer-like pace, yet still has raised his average nearly 30 points. He's had at least one strikeout in each of his last 10 games, and is among the league leaders in swings and misses. Still, his power numbers are coming and he's the future in Texas. They won't give up on him.
- Jayson Werth is proving to the Phillies that they made the right decision in leaving Pat Burrell to his lonesome. Werth's numbers as a full-time player are extensions of what the Phillies were getting during platoon duty last season. The speed burst last night, though, isn't something that owners should expect every night or overreact to. The three steals in one inning doubled his total for the entire season.
- Brad Hawpe is hitting in the cleanup spot in Colorado, as Garrett Atkins continues to struggle. Atkins blames faulty mechanics for his slow start. Bad mechanics seem to be a recurring theme in Colorado (Jimenez's early season excuse as well). Hawpe owners should rejoice, and Atkins owners should worry more. His value takes a bigger hit if he stays out of the cleanup spot.
- Fernando Tatis could be in line for some work if Carlos Delgado's hip injury forces him to the DL. Tatis isn't the answer for Delgado owners that may suffer. Look to Todd Helton first, as he's hitting .347 and has the same number of home runs Delgado has in four. Need power? Adam LaRoche is moderately available and has six home runs. Might kill your average early though. He's just six for his last 38, dropping his average nearly 50 points.
- Were you wondering which Luke Hochevar was going to show up? Well, we got the 2008 version last night. He was simply lit up by Oakland's offense. Hochevar struggled last season, and Oakland doesn't have a major offense. Keep this in mind if you go reach for him next time out.
- Stealing this stat from "The Hearbeat of the Bronx": As of May 11, Nick Swisher was just 3-for-20 to start the month of May. Not a good way to build on April, but Swisher is only a .246 career hitter.
- Yesterday's Results: Sonnanstine, Jimenez, Jurrjens (only two runs over nearly eight, just no win); Loss-Wellemeyer; Push-Cain (Season: 87-62-3)
Wednesday Notes
- Yesterday, I looked at Tim Wakefield as a potential spot start, and he's pitching well enough to warrant that. Torii Hunter and Bobby Abreu both still need to be in your lineups. Hunter hits .368 with three home runs in 38 at-bats, while Abreu is at .367 in 30. Wakefield has had rough luck in Anaheim, as he's 0-3 in his last three with an ERA over 7.00.
- Had a question on Brian Bannister yesterday. He and Wakefield certainly are the two I would look at as the number three option in my spot start list. I went with Wake because of Bannister's track record on the road. Dating back to last season, his ERA is over eight away from home. He's had a good outing away from home against Cleveland and an average one at Minnesota (tempered by a two-out error that saved him from three additional earned runs). Deep leagues, you can do worse, but I think it really is dancing with fire based on what we saw them due to Hochevar last night.
- Michael Young has had 57 at-bats against Jarrod Washburn, and is hitting .351 over that span. The Rangers have had decent numbers against Washburn, but this seems to be a different pitcher this year. AL-only leagues should look to use him as a start. He's the hot hand, and there is no major drawback. Keep in mind that lefties are hitting just .146 against Washburn this season. I'm talking to you, Chris Davis.
- Jim Thome and Jermaine Dye are a combined 11-for-48 against Cliff Lee, with neither player producing much in the power categories, either. I like Scott Podsednik tonight, as he's 7-for-20 against Lee. No concerns on Paul Konerko either. Don't read into Lee's 0-3 home record. He's been given no run support at all.
- When you take Manny Ramirez out of the equation, you see that the Dodgers haven't had much success against Jamie Moyer. Orlando Hudson is just 3-for-19 and Casey Blake only 2-for-17. Moyer, though, continues to struggle at home, giving up 13 runs in his last 16.2 innings. I'll trust the Dodgers to swing more than Moyer at home.
- I told you not to trust Adam LaRoche against Todd Wellemeyer based on history, but that didn't go according to plan. We're going to try it again tonight against Joel Pineiro. LaRoche is 2-for-11 against the Cardinals starter. Still, Pineiro has struggled on the road in his last three outings, and the Pirates are swinging pretty well. Start most as you normally would.
- Both Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramirez are sitting at just 2-for-13 against Braden Looper. It's likely you don't have better options, though, so take heart in the fact that Looper has given up nine runs in his last ten innings. Keep away from Looper as a starter in this one.
- Have to love the Minnesota pitchers at home. Glen Perkins pitches well in the Dome and he becomes a start based on the Tigers throwing Dontrelle Willis. Odds are, Willis is going to be rusty, and the Minnesota bats have the chance to take advantage.
- While Lyle Overbay is just 2-for-24 against Andy Pettitte, Scott Rolen, Vernon Wells, Alex Rios, and Jose Bautista are all well over .300 against the Yankees starter. With how hot Toronto has been at this point in the season, I'm going to keep riding them here. Wells is your best bet, at .429 in 35 at-bats. For his part, Pettitte is 2-4 in his last eight against the Jays.
- Spot Starts: Perkins, Wakefield, Scott Richmond
- Keep on the Bench: Andy Pettitte, Jamie Moyer
Thursday Notes
- Ervin Santana will get the ball for the Angels against Boston. As stated above, he's more of a concern to me than John Lackey. I'd keep him down for a start and make sure that health isn't going to be an issue here. Keep Bobby Abreu around against Brad Penny. Abreu is hitting .326 in 46 at-bats against the Boston starter.
- Justin Verlander has been on a solid three outing streak. He's allowed just one earned run in his last 23 innings of work. He's also struck out 31 hitters in that time. While your normal Twins should be in the lineup against him, I wouldn't reach much. Joe Crede is 8-for-24, but that's as deep as you should look with how hot Verlander is right now.
- Gil Meche hasn't had a great deal of early-season success, and most of the Baltimore lineup has some pop against him. Beware Aubrey Huff, as he's just 5-for-24 against Meche, but your other Orioles are going to serve you well.
- There's reason to be concerned over Felix Hernandez more than just the early season ERA. Hernandez is 2-4 in his last seven starts on the road against the Rangers. In those trips to Arlington, his WHIP is nearly 1.50, and he's given up 42 hits in 42 innings. There could be a David Murphy sighting in this one. He's 7-for-19 against Hernandez.
- After Cole Hamels performance during his last time out, I'd be much more confidence starting him against the Dodgers tomorrow. He looked sharp and his velocity was much better than when he opened the season. No concerns here, keep him active.
- Spot Starts: Wandy Rodriguez, Brad Penny, Mitchell Boggs. I'm also not opposed to Matt Harrison based on the numbers of Felix Hernandez, but that's more AL-only.

Board of Regents Launches Teacher Preparation Initiative
Atlanta — October 8, 1997
In a move supporting current goals of increased admissions standards and strengthened collaboration with the K-12 sector to enhance student readiness, the Board of Regents received a data-driven report today aimed at launching the board's 1997-98 teacher preparation initiative. The report was delivered to the board's Strategic Planning Committee today (Oct. 8), at the regents monthly board meeting, held at Clayton College & State University.
Current Board of Regents Chairman S. William Clark, Jr. has adopted teacher preparation as a key initiative for the Board of Regents during his chairmanship, as a natural intersection with the board's recent efforts in the areas of admissions standards, educational partnerships and academic outreach and intervention.
"Teaching is the very cornerstone of our academic systems–in both K-12 and higher education," stated James Muyskens, senior vice chancellor of academic affairs for the University System of Georgia. "In recent years, new technologies, societal issues and workforce patterns all have impacted this profession in critical ways that need to be addressed. We recognize our role in preparing many of the state's future teachers, and accordingly are committed to dedicating our resources and our attention to enhancing teacher preparation."
Muyskens said anticipated outcomes of the new initiative are: to increase collaboration among those involved in teacher preparation, to elevate the prominence and attractiveness of teaching as a career choice among college and university students, and to develop well-informed policy recommendations that will have significant impact on the teaching profession.
"As we undertake this study, we will be heavily engaged with our educational partner, the Department of Education, as well as with the academic leadership of the 15 schools and or colleges of education within the University System," Muyskens stated. "Our goal is to enhance the ability of teachers to meet the challenges they face in today's classrooms, ultimately ensuring their success in this vital profession."
According to Muyskens, during the next nine months the board will gather and report data, identify best practices in the teacher preparation field as models for potential replication within the University System, and ultimately present policy recommendations for the Board of Regents' approval.
Three key questions have been posed to guide the information-gathering phase of the initiative:
- What are we doing to recruit the best and brightest students into the teaching profession?
- Is the current preparation of teachers the best possible given the challenges that they face?
- What is higher education's role in supporting the professional development of teachers once they enter the profession?
Muyskens will lead a task force that has been appointed to study key teacher preparation issues and to develop the proposed policies. The group includes teachers from the K-12 sector, the deputy state school superintendent, faculty and deans from the University System's colleges of arts and sciences and schools/colleges of education, as well as college and university vice presidents and presidents. Policy recommendations will be brought forward to the Board of Regents in the spring, initially for consideration and later for final action.
During the past two years, the Board of Regents has addressed the need for students to be more effectively prepared to compete in a 21st century marketplace of heightened expectations. Accordingly, the board has implemented policies and engaged in a massive effort to significantly increase admissions standards at its 34 colleges and universities by the year 2001. All students who desire admission must now complete a minimum of 16 credits of college preparatory curriculum at the high school level to be considered for acceptance. Admission into the University System's research and regional universities, as well as the state universities, will require additional academic coursework beyond the minimum of 16 units.
To ensure that all students will be able to meet the higher admissions standards, the Board of Regents implemented a year-round academic enrichment program in August of 1996, to serve students in at-risk situations. The Postsecondary Readiness Enrichment Program, popularly known as PREP, currently has more than 6,000 students actively involved at more than 178 sites throughout Georgia.
In addition to these efforts, the board has been engaged in an extensive collaborative effort with the Georgia Department of Education, the Department of Technical and Adult Education and the Office of School Readiness to improve students' success and their preparation for postsecondary study. This program, called the P-16 Initiative, has led to joint agreement regarding public high school graduation requirements and University System admissions standards.« News Releases

Chicken with Bean Thread Noodles
Serves 6.
1 x 1.5 kg/3 lb roasting chicken
3 sprigs celery leaves
1 carrot
1 onion studded with 4 cloves
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 teaspoons salt
250 g/8 oz bean thread noodles
3 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons annatto seeds
1 onion, finely sliced
3 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons fish sauce
8 large dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked and sliced
4 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced
Put the chicken into a pot just large enough to hold it, add cold water to cover and place the celery leaves, carrot and clove-studded onion around it. Add the peppercorns and salt, cover and bring to simmering point. Cook for 45 minutes, turn off heat and leave until cool enough to handle. Remove all bones and cut meat into large pieces. Strain the stock. Soak the noodles in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and cut into short lengths.
Heat oil, add 1 teaspoon annatto seeds and fry gently until seeds have coloured the oil. Cover pan with a frying screen as the seeds tend to jump. Lift out and discard seeds, and in the coloured oil fry onions and garlic until soft. Add chicken pieces and fish sauce and simmer for a few minutes.
Soak remaining annatto seeds in about 3 tablespoons hot water, stirring until water is coloured. Strain into pan with chicken stock and bring to the boil. Add noodles and mushrooms and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken mixture and serve, scattered with the sliced spring onions.

The revamped Cutty Sark, the world's last remaining tea clipper, has been unveiled by the Queen after a £50 million restoration project.
Despite surviving the roughest seas, a devastating fire ripped through the vessel in 2007, after a vacuum cleaner was left on.
However the "spectacular" Cutty Sark has now been restored to her heyday, the clipper once a pivotal craft for the British trade, carrying goods from around the globe back to England.
It has been 55 years since the Queen first opened the nautical attraction to the public, and today she returned to repeat the ceremony but for a Cutty Sark now in a dramatic new setting.
Richard Doughty, director of the Cutty Sark Trust, described the vessel as "spectacular" and said: "We have a ship fit for the Queen and we're very proud Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh have come to open the site.
"Fifty-five years on from when she first came, it's a very different experience, offering a light environment in the Cutty Sark's new elevated position."
People have invested love in this ship to put it back together again", he said.
The clipper is now lifted more than 11ft (3.4m) above its dry berth in Greenwich, south east London, and is once again a major landmark passed by runners who took part in Sunday's marathon.
The space under the three-masted vessel is home to an interactive museum where visitors can learn about its history.
A fire in 2007, caused by a vacuum cleaner that had been left on, had damaged the ship. However most of the fixtures and fittings had been removed for a major project to renovate the vessel, now 143-years-old, so visitors can see many original features on deck.
The Queen also unveiled a plaque to mark Greenwich becoming a royal borough, an honour bestowed to mark her Diamond Jubilee.
The monarch and Philip arrived just as driving rain that had lashed the ship and the hundreds of well-wishers began to stop.
The royal couple took their place on a dais and listened to an orchestral and choral suite commissioned by Greenwich to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and composed by Errollyn Wallen.
The royal couple later moved inside to view the Cutty Sark's cramped decks that during its working life were filled with tea from China, and when this cargo was no longer an option, it carried hessian from Manila to New York and castor oil from Calcutta to Melbourne.
Despite it sleek hull and large sails, the ship was dogged by bad winds and accidents and never became the fastest vessel in the tea trade.
But she came into her own as a wool clipper sailing the trade route around South America's Cape Horn and through the Roaring Forties trade winds, setting in 1885 a record passage time of 73 days from Sydney to London.
Displays on the decks tell the history of the vessel from its construction to how tea is made in China, and Philip had to bow his head at several points to avoid metal girders.
The royal couple ventured onto the top deck as the rain stopped and high above their heads were dozens of sailing volunteers in the rigging, with many on the 152ft (46m) main mast.
Philip has a long association with the ship, co-founding the Cutty Sark Society in 1951 to safeguard the vessel.
He came to Greenwich soon after the fire to assess the damage for himself and Mr Doughty said that the Duke had given up his association with a number of bodies when he turned 90 last year but maintained his relationship with the society, now a trust.
"That shows the depth of commitment he has for this ship he helped to save," he said.
The director added that Philip had given staff valuable advice from lessons he had learned after the devastating fire at Windsor Castle in 1992.
He said: "He gave us moral support and some very practical advice in terms of how to get the best from consultants and contractors and other sorts of challenges we might encounter."
Correction: An earlier version of this article didn't make it clear that the Queen also visited the Royal Barge during her trip to Greenwich. This has now been amended

If you have spent much time looking at internet marketing ebooks or trying to make money online you have probably heard the term resale rights. Even if you have heard the term you may not know exactly what it means. What are resale rights and how do they apply to making money online?
If a product is offered with normal resale rights that mean that when you buy the product, usually an ebook or some kind of computer software, you also have the right to sell that product to your own customers. Normal resell rights normally come with stipulations or limitations on how they can be sold. Sometimes the price of the product is set for you or you are at least provided with a minimum for which you can resell the material. You are also usually not allowed to make changes to the material.
Master resale rights are similar to normal resale rights; you can sell the material on to your customers. They differ in that you can pass on the right to sell the product so your customers can sell the ebook to their customers. This way you can increase the market for the material by making money selling the product to others that wish to use it to make money as well as those who just need the information. The problem with selling a product with the master resale rights is that you are creating more competition with every sale.
Another form of resale rights is called private label rights. This means that you buy an ebook, for example, and then you can make changes to it. You can make it original by bringing old information up to date, adding extra facts and just freshening it up a bit. You can even turn around and resell it as your own work. This is a great way to use resale rights to make money because you are selling an original product. The downside to using private label rights to make money is that it can be time consuming to make the necessary changes to a document.
The last form of resale rights are regrinding rights. This means that when you buy a product such as an internet marketing ebook or an affiliate marketing ebook, you can replace the author's links with your own. This will allow you to use the information written by someone else to promote yourself. This is a great way to promote a website, or an affiliate store. Regrinding can save you a lot of work when promoting yourself and your original products.
When you buy products with resell rights or software resell rights it is important understand what the terms of resell are so that you can follow them exactly. There are always new opportunities online to make money using products with resale rights.

Fed officials at odds over policy path
Top Federal Reserve officials disagreed on Wednesday over how aggressive the central bank should be to spur faster growth and bring a lofty jobless rate down more quickly.
Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said he favors the Fed strengthening its commitment to holding interest rates near zero by adopting specific thresholds that unemployment and inflation must hit before interest rates could go up.
The data are not strong enough, or uniform enough, to assert that momentum for growth is building, he said, suggesting that he would favor keeping benchmark rates on hold at least through the mid-2013 date already set.
But Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser said rates may need to rise sooner than that. He expressed concern that although inflation has moderated it remains above levels forecast for 2011 and that policymakers need to be ready to remove easy money policies.
Inflation most often develops gradually, and if monetary policy waits too long to respond, it can be very costly to correct, he said. We need to proceed with caution as to the degree of monetary accommodation we supply to the economy.
The two officials represent opposing extremes of the debate at the Fed over how much medicine the economy needs to solidify its recovery from a deep recession that ended two-and-a-half years ago.
Signs that recovery in the economy gathered steam in the final months of 2011 has investors questioning whether the Fed will take additional steps to support growth, such as buying more bonds in a strategy known as quantitative easing. In its Beige Book anecdotal review of economic conditions, the Fed said growth is expanding moderately but a weak jobs market is holding back income growth, needed to support expansion.
The central bank next meets to discuss monetary policy on January 24-25, where it is expected to begin making public more details about its economic forecasts and goals as a way to cement expectations that policymakers will keep rates low until the recovery is more robust.
Evans and Plosser represent the two extremes of Fed policymaker views on monetary policy, and officials are expected to keep more aggressive steps in reserve in case the recovery wobbles.
The Fed is due to being publishing detailed forecasts for the path of the benchmark federal funds rate in coming years at the January meeting. It is also expected to move closer to committing to an explicit inflation target.
Those steps are viewed as helping cement its promise to hold rates at ultra-low levels through mid-2013 and possibly beyond.
The Fed cut benchmark rates to near zero more than three years ago and has bought $2.3 trillion in bonds to lift growth. Officials are exploring ways to bolster their commitment to a long period of easy money policies and some favor an additional round of bond purchases.
The Fed has recently urged lawmakers and other regulators to consider fixes to problems in housing markets to help ease strains on the broader economy from falling house prices and high rates of foreclosure.
Atlanta Fed Bank President Dennis Lockhart, also speaking on Wednesday, noted that the housing market, which has weighed heavily on the economy, remains depressed. He said housing prices were still falling year over year, suggesting the troubled sector has yet to see a bottom.
Having virtually exhausted conventional tools the Fed has turned to communications initiatives to help strengthen growth. Inflation targeting is one such tool.
Most other central banks publish inflation targets as a way of anchoring inflation expectations, and most Fed officials support an explicit inflation target.
However, Fed officials also disagree on what adopting an explicit inflation target means for monetary policy.
Evans said on Wednesday that setting an inflation target could allow policymakers to temporarily permit inflation to go higher than 2 percent -- the Fed's preferred threshold -- to bring the jobless rate down to an acceptable level.
Even if inflation runs somewhat above its goal for a while, the public would understand that we intend to bring inflation down to the goal over time, he said.
But St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said on Tuesday the value of an explicit target is precisely that it cements the central bank's inflation-fighting credibility by committing not to let inflation surpass a target level.
Also, since the Fed has a mandate not only to maintain price stability but also to ensure full employment, some officials believe that if the Fed sets inflation targets, it must also provide similar goals for employment.
Evans, for example, advocates making clear the Fed will hold rates low until the jobless rate slips below 7 percent.
However, others disagree.
Jeffrey Lacker, president of the Richmond Fed and an inflation hawk, also touted the benefits of clear communications on Wednesday in an interview with CNBC, but said it would not be appropriate for the Fed to set a numerical target for unemployment.
The U.S. jobless rate fell to a near-three year low of 8.5 percent in December but many analysts believe that number could rise again, and despite the lower rate, employment remains 6.1 million below its pre-recession level.
Evans, who has been one of the most outspoken advocates of Fed action to lower unemployment, said the central bank should stick to its super-easy monetary policy to fight unemployment and spur a painstakingly slow economic recovery.
There is a natural tendency for policymakers to pull back on accommodation too early before the real rate of interest has fallen to low enough levels, he said in an address to a business group. It is essential that the Fed clearly commit to a policy action that is measurable against our goals.
The risk that Europe's debt crisis could disrupt the U.S. financial system is looming larger, Evans said.
