Coase, Institutionalism, and the Origins of Law and Economics
Herbert J. Hovenkamp
University of Iowa - College of Law
February 20, 2011
Indiana Law Journal, Vol. 86, p. 499, 2011
U Iowa Legal Studies Research Paper No. 10-07
Ronald Coase merged two traditions in economics, marginalism and institutionalism. Neoclassical economics in the 1930s was characterized by an abstract conception of marginalism and frictionless resource movement. Marginal analysis did not seek to uncover the source of individual human preference or value, but accepted preference as given. It treated the business firm in the same way, focusing on how firms make market choices, but saying little about their internal workings.
"Institutionalism" historically refers to a group of economists who wrote mainly in the 1920s and 1930s. Their place in economic theory is outside the mainstream, but they have found new energy with the rise of behavioral economics and socio-economics. The institutionalists emphasized the importance of human created institutions that allocate resources and power, institutional rules of social control, and the effect of institutions on the economy. The institutionalists severely qualified marginalist analysis as well as the emergent neoclassical creed that the study of naked individual preference is the exclusive methodology of economic science. By contrast, most institutionalists defended the study of the biological and behaviorist sources of preference. Finally, unlike mainstream neoclassicists, most institutionalists believed that market exchange is only one of many institutions that move resources through the economy.
Coase's work merged neoclassicism with institutionalism by incorporating marginalist analysis into the study of institutions. As the neoclassicists, he was not concerned about the source of preferences but only with the mechanisms by which they are asserted. More explicitly, by recognizing individual preference orderings and market exchange as the only efficient movers of resources, he reduced the problem of resource movement to one of "transaction costs." The result was a new brand of institutionalism that was far more palatable to neoclassicists but largely unacceptable to traditional institutionalists.
This revised institutionalism became an important source of theory for modern law and economics. First, it recognized marginalism and the conception of the rational actor as central to economic analysis of legal institutions. Second, it preserved the Pigouvian, fundamentally institutionalist concern that economics consider the costs of moving resources from one spot to another. Third, its market-oriented marginalism led Coase to assume that the only relevant costs of resource movement are the internal value maximizing decisions of individual economic agents, captured by Coase's 1937 essay on The Nature of the Firm; and the costs of bargaining, reflected in his 1959 and 1960 articles on social cost.

The next-generation Subaru WRX and WRX STI are still shrouded in a cloak of secrecy. Or is it indecision? Either way, Car and Driver is reporting that when Subaru eventually pulls the wraps off whatever is going to wear the WRX badge, there's going to be a turbocharged version of the 2.0-liter FA-series engine underhood, a derivative of the naturally aspirated engine that's found in the Subaru BRZ.

Good at first...
"This is a great looking sneaker and I've gotten a few complements since buying them. These shoes felt really good when I tried them on but after a few days, I'm thinking that first opinions could be wrong. When I walk, my big toe seems to be rubbing a lot against the side of the shoe. I'm not sure if this is because of the width or what. I didn't notice this walking around the store but after a few days I'm noticing it more."

Best mobile phone 2011: 8th Pocket-lint Awards contenders
Owning a smartphone has become as ubiquitous as having a brain. Everyone has one. Sure some might be better than others, but ultimately the world is a better off place for it regardless. Thanks mainly to Android, 2011 saw a pantheon of phones released to market making choosing the best an even more difficult task.
That time of year however has come round again; the frosty mornings and early evenings, it can only mean one thing. No, not that Santa Claus is coming, that it's the 8th Pocket-lint Awards of course and we need you to get nominating your fave phones. Naturally picking out a best mobile phone isn't exactly straightforward so we have put together this handy little selection of pointers to keep your brain boxes ticking over.
We thought we would get the big boy out of the way first. Android now makes up 44.8 per cent of the entire mobile phone market - a lot when you consider how many people globally keep a handset in their pocket. Of the now gigantic Android family there are plenty hit and miss efforts. Its not all plain sailing for Google's OS. When they gets it right, however, Android phones can be superb and as we shall find out, that happened more than a few times this year.
First up was, of course, the Samsung Galaxy S II - the phone which every other company wants to beat. At release it was thinner, more powerful and brighter than anything else available. Its huge 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen boasts colours and viewing angles unlike any other we had seen before. It was also unbelievably snappy due to its dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. As if that wasn't enough Samsung then went and stuck 16GB of internal memory and a whopping great 8 megapixel HD camera on the back. It became a virtually unstoppable package.
Up against the Galaxy S II was the HTC Sensation family of phones. At launch the original Sensation couldn't quite keep up with the Samsung phone specs-wise, but it did feature the brilliant Sense 3.5 Android skin which made for a slightly better user experience. HTC then went on to release the less powerful Sensation XL and the Galaxy S II matching Sensation XE. The latter has become HTC's flagship phone and includes Beats branding and headphones in the box. All three are great phones in their own right and deserve a consideration in this year's awards. HTC also decided to have a brief play in the realm of 3D with its EVO 3D which was as powerful as it was different.
Sony Ericsson finally got things right this year with its Android phones. The company rolled back some of the overly-sluggish skinning they did to Android, sorted out Timescape and came up with some hardware they could finally be proud of in the form of the Arc S. Sure it might not have been the industry leading, spec sheet party that some other Android phones were, but it included an incredible Bravia engine powered display and quality Exmor R sensor in its 8-megapixel camera. We also took a rather major liking to the Xperia Ray - a phone which proved compact yet powerful - with a rather impressive battery life, particularly for an Android phone.
The Orange San Francisco rather surprised the Pocket-lint gang with its quality display and superb value for money. It rapidly became a best seller in the Android stakes and despite a few bugs, quite easily deserved the four out of five stars we gave it. For those looking at Android at a value for money price, it bested the competition by a long way.
2011 also continued the triumphant return of Motorola as a quality handset manufacturer. Most recently the RAZR in particular has proven the company knows how to make a damn sweet piece of technology, the phone outdoing even the Galaxy S II in the thinness stakes at just 0.28 inches. Who could possibly forget the Motorola Atrix, the handset that started it all in the dual-core race? All that power meant Moto could do things like setup Webtop, which allowed you to use the phone like a fully fledged laptop via a keyboard dock. There was also the Droid 3, which was superbly put together and one of the best QWERTY slider Android phones we have used. Quite what's going to happen in 2012 now that Google is behind Motorola is going to be fascinating to see.
Last but not least was LG with its pair of Android offerings. First up, the Optimus 2X which shipped with a built in HDMI output and unparalleled HD performance. Then there was the glasses free Optimus 3D, which combined the best of 2D smartphone use with an innovative and enjoyable three dimensional experience.
Finally, we should also mention both the yet to be released Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus S handsets here as they are and continue to be Android in its purest form. Heralding the very latest version of the Android OS, the Nexus phones are always a treat to behold.
Windows Phone 7
Windows Phone 7 lost its training wheels in 2011 and became the little OS that could. As more converted to the live tile interface and realised the joys of the Mango update, more cutting edge handsets begun to arrive. None more so than the Nokia Lumia 800 which without doubt has to be the best handset that Nokia has released in years. It marked the first time that Nokia would use WP7 as an OS, featured incredible build quality and a screen unlike anything we had seen before.
HTC continued its support of Windows Phone 7 with the HTC Titan, a beast of a smartphone with 4.7-inch screen. It also included a 1.5GHz processor which put it right at the top end of all WP7 action and a class leading f/2.2, 8-megapixel camera stuck on the back. Prior to the release of the Titan came the HTC Radar which came as a replacement to last year's Mozart and Trophy. It was the first WP7 to feature a dock and its own unique app to go with it. On top of that the phone was available in white, which is always cool.
Apart from the horrors of a service outage, BlackBerry actually managed to turn out some pretty decent handsets this year. Among the best was the Bold 9900 which benefitted from the new BB7 OS and some of the cleanest design that RIM had ever managed, that carbon fibre slab on the back being a particular highlight.
Next up was the Torch 9860 and finally success on the no QWERTY front for RIM. It had top end messaging and email services, was pocketable and well put together and rarely did it feel slow or unresponsive which previous versions of the device had.
We also mustn't forget the Bold's miniature cousin, the Curve, which was equally as nice to hold as the traditionally more high end members of the BlackBerry family. The Curve 9360 combined just the right level of affordability with hardware specs, making it a likely bestseller for RIM.
Finally there was a revamped version of the Torch 9810 which, at last, had the spec sheet to do the handset design justice. Returning in silver and with BB7 running smoothly on top, it was quite a compelling little package.
It is safe to say that towards its release date, rumours and speculation on whatever the new phone from Apple would be reached unsurpassed levels of stupidity. Not a day went by without some sort of revamped spec sheet leak or grainy picture of a corner of the new phone. Unlike with the iPhone 4, however, Apple managed to just about make the announcement before any one else did. So, when the launch of the iPhone 4S arrived, it was that little bit more exciting.
The phone is now safely in the hands of the public and, whilst not the total hardware redesign everyone had hoped for, it is most definitely the handset that the iPhone 4 should have been. With the inclusion of a dual-core processor and a camera which is virtually unbeatable in the video department, it's a highly desirable smartphone.

God is wonderful among his saints.
Verse: Bless God in the congregations.
BRETHREN, when I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Make love your aim, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, he who prophesies speaks to men for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless some one interprets, so that the church may be edified.

"While Apple TV is considered to be a hobby device for Apple, the fact is that they continue to evolve the device in their labs.Visit PatentlyApple to have a look at the figures which graphically explain the patent.
This particular patent covers Apple TV's proposed function simply called "Learn Remote." Apple TV will be able to be controlled by future HDTVs from Sony, Samsung and Hitachi or even a DVR from DirecTV. Yet for the most part, these functions are already found and explained on Apple's website.
The second aspect of this patent involves a possible winning marketing twist that could involve Apple TV being able to present a "Simulated iPhone" on a future HDTV so as to allow users to make a phone call or perhaps better yet, interact with one of a Gazillion iPhone Apps or even access one of their new iBooks. Apple tries to hide this feature by illustrating its presence on an illustration yet refusing to elaborate on this point. That's fine, I just did and I'm sure that your imagination could think of other interesting spin-off possibilities for this powerful marketing twist. "
The patents states that "an embodiment of the invention can be used to provide a demonstration of the operation of a multi-touch enabled device so that a user can decide whether to purchase that device." That could be useful if Apple introduces a larger tablet format that introduces advanced gaming, ebook or DJ capabilities which could be simulated on a Windows PC to give the user temptation to try out the software. On that single count, the proposed software has some potential.What do you think, does it have potential, a simulated on-screen iPhone for consumer devices such as the iMac?

Elegant and Fun!
"I purchased these shoes for my son's wedding and everyone raved about them! They are comfortable out of the box and continued to be comfortable through the greetings, the dancing and even through the clean up. They are really dressy and looked fantastic with my silver glitter mani-pedi polish, and my sparkly midnight blue dress. I would definitely recommend these shoes. They add a lot of bling to your step! They would also stand out with a pair of skinny jeans, black slacks, dress or skirt."

"Bought these for a disco night, and the shine is insane. I usually wear an 8.5, which fit fine in the store, but decided to go a half size up in the end to leave room for swollen feet after standing and dancing for several hours. Comfortable to walk and dance in and made it through most of the night without pain. Did get some tenderness on upper soles by hour 4, but all in all these are much more comfortable than similar heels."

BLM celebrates Public Lands Day with events to get people outdoors (09-18-12)
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Volunteers together with the Bureau of Land Management plan to mark the 2012 National Public Lands Day with multiple events culminating on Sept. 29 with the Public Lands Festival at the Bangs Canyon Trailhead.
Recognition of the 2012 National Public Lands Day began with a Colorado River restoration adventure organized by Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado Sept 6-9. Next, the Western Slope ATV Association performed a cleanup on public lands on 25 Road north of Grand Junction on Sept. 15. On September 22, the Grand Mesa Back Country Horsemen will be working on the Jouflas Trail in Rabbit Valley. Then on Sept. 29, multiple events are planned in the Grand Valley all designed to raise awareness and get people involved with public lands.
Chris Pipkin, an outdoor recreation planner with the BLM Grand Junction Field Office said, "The BLM manages a great diversity of resources and recreation opportunities on public lands around the Grand Valley. We do much of that by partnering with organizations, businesses and individuals throughout the community. We're excited to demonstrate and celebrate those partnerships during the events planned for National Public Lands Day."
On Sept. 29, the Western Colorado Climbers Coalition and Great Old Boards for Wilderness are collaborating to clean up a popular rock climbing area in Unaweep Canyon. COPMOBA plans to do trail work on the Palisade Rim Trail and there is a cleanup scheduled for the 27 1/4 Road Shooting Range.
The culminating event for the 2012 National Public Lands Day will be the Festival at the Bangs Canyon Trailhead. Many interactive activities that highlight multiple resources and uses of public lands will be available at this free event. Those attending will have the opportunity to participate in events and watch demonstrations in search and rescue, rock climbing and trail building. Public lands stewardship will be a common theme for all activities throughout the National Public Lands Day events.
There will be an opportunity for a guided hike to Mica Mine with geological, paleontological and historical information presented. Visitors are encouraged to dress accordingly. Students participating in the festival may be eligible for prizes throughout the event. Middle and high school students are especially encouraged to attend.
According to Fran Parker, volunteer and partnership coordinator for the BLM and Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, the events of the 2012 National Public Lands Day could never happen without the gracious support of partnering organizations to include The Museum of the West, Dominguez Archaeological Research Group, the Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife, Desert Ecosystems Analysis and Restoration, Grand Valley Trails Alliance, the Colorado Canyons Association, Hilltop Experiential Learning Program, Mesa County Search and Rescue, Western Slope ATV Association, Grand Mesa Jeep Club, Grand Junction Hike–n-Bike, Grand Mesa Back Country Horsemen, and the Western Colorado Climbers' Coalition.
For more information contact Volunteer and Partnership Coordinator, Fran Parker at (970) 244-3031.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

So...has anyone suffered from ants this summer? I've had a few crawl around my desk and sometimes the sink...mostly around the trash can though.
yes i got bit on finger at corner store recently
Yeah, actually I have some ants on my keyboard right now. I think I've got them beat though since I clear-wrapped it.
ants always come out in the summer over here- especially in the kitchen. and flies too...i hate bugs, really. D=
I suffer from mosquitos and bees on my mountain house, it's really annoying, I can't enjoy the fresh aire and the sun with all those insects flying around...
My summer worries ain't here yet but when it rolls around ants are gonna be the least of my problems, I probably gotta worry bout snakes or something I haven't cut my grass in ages and now I'm scared of getting lost in my backyard.
Why don't more people read these mangas?

"I love the outdoors," says Shaye Mann. "As much as I've always been aware of the dangers of hiking, I've also wondered if there was something more sinister lurking behind the canyons." By and large, hikers are cautious and meticulous in caring for their safety. But what if Mother Nature wasn't the only thing working against them?
About the author: This is Shaye's first novel. Shaye is a trial lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona, where he lives with his wife Naomi and their three boys. An avid hiker, Shaye first discovered his love for the great outdoors as a teenager living on the east coast. During his college years, he moved to the west coast and fell in love with the mountains and canyons of the Utah/Arizona corridor. "From a survival perspective, there are so many daunting scenarios you try to prepare for before setting out on a trail. I've always been thorough in my preparation for a hike in these remote areas. But none of it involved the dark side of man."

Super comfy!
"I can't say enough great things about the Zigi brand. I love every single pair of Zigi sandals I own! This is no exception..they are so comfortable and true to size for me. I wear an 8.5-9 and the 8.5 fit perfect. I have a wider foot..not super wide..but on the wider side..and these fit just fine. No issues with them being too narrow for my foot. I love the way they look, so fun and sparkly, without being overdone!"

Skip to comments.Former GOP candidate for governor of Arizona Mike Harris blames Israel for Newtown Massacre
Posted on 12/28/2012 5:08:38 AM PST by prairiebreeze
Mike Harris is contributor to a publication called VeteransToday.com. If you peruse through it closely, its basically a website for former military officers turned Ron Paul types or vast Zionist conspiracy kookoos for Cocoa Puffs.
Here he is on Irans state-run PressTV blaming Israel for the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre.
(Excerpt) Read more at israelunseen.com ...
I didn't see this posted in a few keyword searches I did.
This is just one source I found for the story. Barenakedislam is also running a link to it as are other blogs.
Didn't attempt to offer a scintilla of evidence for his insane hypothesis. Is he out of his mind?
He came in third in the Republican primary of 2006 with 6.08% of the Republican vote. 18,734 out of 231,733 Republican votes cast.
Sounds like a bottom of the barrel candidate.
At least when I vote for an "also ran" candidate, I go for an American like Duncan Hunter.
When was this guy a GOP candidate for Governor?
I think what they mean is that he was a candidate for the GOP nomination, which he did not get.
OK...just saw your post. Thanks, I didn't think this guy was ever a candidate for Governor.
Let's see how thin we can stretch reality.
Israel is Jewish.
Jews eat Matsos on Passover.
The murderer like unsalted Saltines.
I see the connection... Eyes rolling.
I was in a chatroom for pipesmokers the day after nine eleven. Someone was blaming Israel and Jews. The other chatters were arguing with him, for which I was quite gratified, since I was the only Jew in the room at the time.
I then posted, "We Jews own all the gold, all the silver, all the banks, all the businesses, all the governments, and everything else wqorth owning."
There was silence for a minute. then one of the posters posted, "Dave, can I have a loan." Everyone but the anti-Semite posted "lol" or "lmao," etc.
The anti-Semite was never heard from again.
Sometimes, you just need to ridicule knuckleheads, since arguing with them can just make you crazy.
No really, can I have a loan? ;)
Ridicule works. I gotta give Alynski his due on that. And antisemites are good targets for it.
Perhaps now Obama will appoint him to his cabinet
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
Maybe he needs to stop buttoning the top button of his shirts.
He's a member of the new Buchanan/Hagel wing of the Republican Party.
Almost unbelievable. I wonder if Harris himself believes what he is saying.
If he does believe it, then he is in a difficult position, because the Jews must be hidden everywhere, with almost supernatural powers of disguise and guile and they will be coming for him next! How does he dare unveil their activities, if they are so invincible?
Maybe this Harris fellow is actually working for the CIA, ands just trying to ingratiate himself with the the Iranian mullahs, in order to get close to them, and share their secrets. Whoops! Did I just give him away?
"Ridicule works. I gotta give Alynski his due on that. And antisemites are good targets for it."
so are liberals. Rush is particularly good at it.
It drives me nuts when our side refuses to use it. It's like going to/ getting in a fight and saying "Rules are you can hit me but I can't hit back"...then lying on the ground wondering why you just got knocked out.
Then complaining about it.
I guess Gun Control is not playing well.....so lets blame Jews....like every anti Semite does....right.....
I think the owner of VeteransToday was on FR a while ago trying to pimp his site as a "military site", along with his rather odd theories.
"I think what they mean is that he was a candidate for the GOP nomination, which he did not get."
I live in AZ and have NEVER heard of the jerk!
This guy is a disgrace to humanity. Search no further for the missing link. It is alive, but very very sick.
How do people become this stupid?
Though Ron Paul is considered to be anti-Israel by some, he's never said anything remotely resembling this nonsense spewed by Harris. So this writer is off base to throw Ron Paul into this mix. The closest I've heard to this kind of rant by an American public figure came from Louis Farrakhan.
Just curious: What elected office, if any, has this Mike Harris ever held as a Republican?
G-d Bless you, Dave. That was very cool and showed great wisdom.
There is no "new Buchanan/Hagel wing" of the Republican Party. Both Buchanan and Hagel are old news with regard to their status in the party. And can anyone like Hagel who wants to join the Obama Cabinet merit the designation "Republican"?
Harris is as "Republican" as Michael Bloomberg Arlen Specter, Jim Jeffords, or Lincoln Chafee. Or Hillary Clinton.
Pat Buchanan did exactly one good thing - he left the Republican Party.
"G-d Bless you, Dave. That was very cool and showed great wisdom."
Nah, just a sick sense of humor.
I got the idea from a poster that I once saw stuck on a utility pole that accused the Vatican of owning all those things, and it pissed me off. I thought we Jews owned all of that.
Ahhh...but did you not know?
The Vatican and the Jews are "In Cahoots", along with the Illuminati and the Klan. LOL
How could I have foregotten that? :)
As far as I know, he never held public office at all, nor was he ever a GOP candidate in a general election for public office. So unlike KKKer David Duke about 20 years ago (who obtained a seat in the Louisiana state legislature), it's hardly worth wasting the party's effort on denouncing him because he's a nobody within the party structure.
It should be noted by contrast that inane anti-Israel and antisemitic remarks from much more prominent Democrats are nearly never repudiated by their party leadership, especially if those prominent Democrats happen to be black, e.g., Jackson and Sharpton.
Post 4 asserts that he was a primary contender in the GOP primary in '06. I wasn't able on a quick search to find that info, just that he has or had affiiliations with the GoP. (I'm not disputing the posters assertion, I just couldn't quickly find it)
Let's not get sidetracked about the Ron Paul reference either. I posted this article because it was one of a few I'd found on the topic. The thrust should remain Harris' spew and not the author's personal opinion about Ron Paul.
Sounds like a leftist Democrat moonbat.
I too proudly cast my vote for Duncan Hunter.
I remember seeing a photo of Duncan Hunter in Vietnam with the big belt fed machine gun across his lap. Unfortunately there weren't a lot of pictures like that but he didn't have a personal photographer following him around like Al Gore.
Hunter also got the endorsement of Chuck Yeager.
Hee Hee.
Expect to see this make all the Pravda USA talk shows. MSNBC alone will spend a week on this.
Thanks justiceseeker93.
Ah! Blaming the Jews again, huh!? Gawd, the anti-Semitism sickness is sure strong to blame it on the Jews. (Why wasn't this "Bush's fault
?" I guess Bush ranks only Number Two in the scapegoat department these days, eh?). Pathetic lunatic, should be locked up for treatment and to protect society.
Well darn. I guess it's time to cover up my hazel eyes with blue contacts and cut my hair short so folks won't see the curls I inherited from those Volga-German-Russian folks... with the "questionable" heritage.

Microsoft CEO Ballmer Roars at Shareholder Criticism, Defends Innovation Record
Jason Mick
November 29, 2012 3:06 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Reuters)
Amid low share prices, Ballmer received a chilly reception from some shareholders at their annual meeting
At Microsoft Corp.'s (
) annual shareholder Wednesday, the company's at-times boisterous Chief Executive Steven "Steve" Ballmer brought in Microsoft's "big guns" -- former
Microsoft CEO, co-founder, and tech icon Bill Gates
and Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein. But at the meeting of 450 shareholders, Mr. Ballmer did not need to enlist the help of his fellow Microsoft elite, who remained silent even as the meeting turned chilly,
according to
reporters in attendance.
Amid tough questions from the audience, Mr. Ballmer was candid in his assessment that Microsoft was a late-comer to the tablet game, but he told the audience in a fiery defense that he saw "nothing but a sea of upside" for
Windows 8 tablets
. He comments, "We're innovating on the seam between software and hardware. Maybe we should have done that earlier. [But] I feel pretty good about our [current] level of innovation."
Indeed, Microsoft has some defenders in odd places. Stephen "Steve" Wozniak, better known as the "Woz", was once a ferocious critic of Microsoft and evangelist for Apple, Inc. (
), the company he co-founded. But today he said in a recent
interview that
he fears for Apple
because Microsoft has become more innovative.

prospects in the tablet market. [Image Source: Getty Images]
Others might disagree.
While Mr. Ballmer pointed optimistically to
Windows Phone sales
quadrupling on a year-to-year basis, the platform is still estimated to only own 2 to 4 percent of the global market, well behind Apple and market leader Google Inc. (
). While Microsoft dreams of "pulling a Google" and rising to the top of the stack, it currently is resigned to vying with embattled Research in Motion, Ltd. (
for the third-place spot
But when it came to shareholder criticism, the harshest questions came not about Microsoft's products, but rather why its share price was so low. Indeed, Microsoft shares trade at an order of magnitude lower than their Google and Apple counterparts. (To be fair Microsoft has significantly approximately 9 times as many shares as Apple, and 25 times as many as Google). Apple recently passed Microsoft in market capitalization and today has a total stock value that is
more than twice that of Microsoft's.
Steve Ballmer dodged the share value question, remarking, "I understand your comment... [but Microsoft has] done a phenomenal job of driving product volumes... The stock market's kind of a funny thing."
Funny indeed, but the shareholders might have been less than amused. Mr. Ballmer did placate the critics slightly by pointing to
Microsoft's $10B USD profit sharing effort
which includes share buybacks and quarterly dividends.
Currently, Microsoft shares are trading at around their levels from a decade ago, having risen roughly 18 percent in 2012. In other words, despite the criticism, shareholders should be pleased to an extent that Microsoft outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 average of an anemic 3 percent in gains.
"And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" -- Bill Gates on the Mac ads

"The Social Security numbers for Rubio's father and grandfather suggest that Mario Rubio received his Social Security number in Florida in 1956 and that Garcia received his in New York in 1956-57." - WAPO's Lynne Sladky
The mainstream media is having a heyday going after Senator Marco Rubio's misstatements about the circumstances his parents arrived in the United States. They have gone so far as to dig up Rubio's parents Social Security numbers to bolster their position that Rubio embellished his family story for political gain.
Every outlet from the Washington Post to Fox News is reporting it.
Now there's no problem with the media doing their job vetting politicians except for the fact they only seem to do it when the politician is a republican. For years now these same media outlets have ignored Obama's many lies about his past and have yet to report that Obama is using a Social Security number reserved for applicants in the state of Connecticut. If you read through the many articles published on Marco Rubio you will see most fail to mention what and who started this firestorm and also fail to address the bigger issue surrounding Rubio's problem if he ever does decide to run for the presidency or vice presidency.
Marco Rubio's "natural born Citizen" status. The media knows if they address Rubio's they will be forced to address Obama's.
What started all this was Commander Charles Kerchner's (Ret) initial report and followup report on Marco Rubio's father's naturalization petition obtained from the National Archives and then picked up by the St. Petersburg Times and the Miami Herald.
Many of the articles provided below so you can see for yourself what is and is not being reported by the once great Free Press.

A partial collapse at the Rhino Mine in Huntington Canyon this afternoon has reportedly killed one miner and injured another.
The deceased miner has been identified as Elam Jones, 28, of Huntington. Jones was recovered by Rhino's own rescue team and was identified by relatives.
The Emery County Sheriff's Office reported that Emery County dispatch received a call from the mine at 3:12 pm to report the incident. The only other miner involved in the partial collapse, Dallin McFarlane of Cleveland, was sent to Castleview Hospital where he was treated and released.
The initial sheriff's department press release indicated that an investigation of the mine cave-in will be conducted by the Mine Safety and Health Administration.

'Sweeney Todd' is a frightful delight at Godinez Fundamental
Revenge can be quite a bloody business, and barber-turned-butcher Sweeney Todd makes it look easy as pie. In Godinez Fundamental's dreary and dark tale of the demon barber of Fleet Street, Sweeney Todd struggles to avenge his wife's death and be reunited with his long-lost daughter Johanna. With the help of the eccentric Mrs. Lovett, Sweeny's barber business soon evolves into a string of serial killings that fuel her pie shop as he yearns to commit his ultimate revenge.
Sweeney Todd (Raymon Villa) splits into a sinister smile as he takes gruesome delight in each slice of a throat. His rich vocals and looming presence inspire terror as he nostalgically croons to his deadly blades, but still elicits a somber sympathy as he cries in anguish, mourning his dead wife. His beloved daughter, Johanna (Jocelyn Ramirez), is as delicate as her melodic trills, begging for kisses with Anthony (Gabriel Andrade) as the couple melt onto a couch in a loving embrace during the lighthearted "Kiss Me."
Rushing onto the stage with urgency, the Beggar Woman's (Ashe Ryan) panic-infused vocals in "City of Fire" unleash a chill in combination with her contorted expression of dread. In contrast, her lusty swipes at male passersby are quite the comedic relief, and similarly Pirelli (Daniel Osorio) parades around the stage in "Pirelli's Miracle Elixir," his exaggerated motions and thick Spanish accent betraying himself as a fool to the audience's amusement.
Narrating the story with a fervent energy and strong vocal presence, the chorus leads breathe life into the production, each with a unique character to portray the ragamuffins of London. Their haggard appearance is due to the haunting makeup that adorns each face (Stephanie Guerrero, Kassandra Bernal, Maribel Sierra, Lisandra Mendoza), adding a hollowed shadow to emaciated cheeks or a gaunt, wan complexion under dark-rimmed, heavy-lidded eyes.
Bathing the stage in a bright bloodthirsty red as a body slides off Sweeny's barber chair into the trapdoor below, lighting (Andre Martinez) sets a skin-crawling tone throughout the production, from flickering lights behind shutter doors to smoothly operated spotlights illuminating actors venturing into the audience.
From each deft swirl of the unique, boxed set piece (moved adeptly by Guillermo Alcibar, Ivan Enriquez, Eric Jimenez, Isaiah Pendon), the show's terror mounts, until the chilling conclusion at last establishes Godinez Fundamental's "Sweeney Todd" is a cut above the rest.

Peabody Energy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gregory Boyce highlights long-term coal growth in Asia-Pacific markets and enormous progress being made to advance clean coal technologies in an exclusive interview on CNBC's Squawk Box with Erin Burnett and Mark Haines.
You can see video from Boyce's CNBC interview at: http://www.executiveinterviews.net/players/mini/default.asp?order=U12957
"We think there is going to be a new age for new coal," says Boyce. "When you look at energy demand globally, we need all types of fuel in the energy mix. We need to build new coal facilities. They are being built around the world at a record pace.
"The numbers globally for electricity demand are staggering when you look at today's forecast. That still assumes that more than half of the world's population does not have access to low-cost, affordable electricity."
Boyce says that China and India are driving strong demand for thermal and metallurgical coal in the Asia-Pacific region that is expected to increase at a 7.5 percent compound annual growth rate over the next five years or more.
China, the fastest-growing coal market in the world, has imported coal at a record pace through the first eight months of last year as it advances infrastructure development through its stimulus program. India is the fastest-growing importer of coal and will require as much as 200 million tons of coal per year within five years. Both economies are driving strong GDP growth that is expected to increase next year.
Globally, Boyce notes that carbon capture and storage projects are advancing, with carbon dioxide used for enhanced oil recovery or stored deep underground. The oil industry has been using carbon dioxide to increase production for 50 years.
Carbon storage is a natural part of the carbon dioxide cycle, which has been occurring since the earth was formed. Long term, Peabody continues to expand its business platform to serve emerging Asia growth markets.
"In terms of coal markets, the Pacific Rim is very, very strong," says Boyce.

That's Una & her Madre at a Wisconsin Badgers' game Back in the Day. I think she was 11 or 12. The game, as I recall, was pretty dull, & Wisconsin was playing Syracuse at Giants' Stadium in New Jersey. Temps were uncharacteristically up in the high 90s, and we were HOT. My peeps & I ended up playing UNO in the shade way up in the stands, while Mr. Fairway sat in the blistering sun & watched his beloved Badgers lose.
I guess this is just a round-about way of saying that this week I'm suffering from Kenny Chesney Syndrome. As in, "There Goes My Life."
No, this is not one of your run-of-the-mill, going-to-college moves. The seriousness of the situation finally struck me when we'd finished schlepping 22 years' worth of crapola out to the garage. We even took apart the chica's bed, for cryin' out loud.
She says she wants to settle in the Midwest. That's fine, as long as I see her every other weekend, right? OK, I realize I'm demanding a little too much. Have to "let go," & all that janx. But when we'd gotten everything loaded up into the POD (Portable On Demand Storage), the finality of Una's impending move struck me. In the heart, where it hurts the most.
What was it The Beatles said on "Sgt. Pepper's" about leaving home? At any rate, my condition is critical. And whatever the syndrome, I think I've got it bad. I swear.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Republican Senate candidate Mark Jacobs says he raised $400,000 from donors last year, but the former energy executive won't reveal if he has put his own cash into his campaign account.
The Jacobs campaign announced Thursday that Jacobs had collected $400,000 during the fourth quarter of 2013. A campaign aide declined to detail Jacobs' contributors or say if Jacobs had made any additional personal contributions. That information will be available after campaign finance reports are filed later this month.
Jacobs, an Iowa native, formerly served as chief executive officer of Texas-based Reliant Energy. He has great personal wealth but hasn't disclosed whether he plans to spend his own money on his campaign.
Jacobs is one of several candidates seeking Iowa's open U.S. Senate seat in 2014.

Random Thoughts - May 20 2013
Ryan Pike
May 20 2013 10:42AM
A few random thoughts on the world championships, memorial cup and how the Flames draft picks are settling out.
Five Flames-related players headed over to Scandinavia for the World Hockey Championships this month. Two of them are coming home with hardware.
Jiri Hudler's Czech Republic team finished in seventh place. Hudler had five points in eight games. T.J. Brodie donned the maple leaf for the first time as part of Canada's World Championship entry, but he had just a single point in the seven games he played. Canada finished fifth.
The Finns made the medal round but bowed out in the bronze medal game, finishing fourth. Finnish back-up Joni Ortio had a good tournament, going undefeated in three starts with a 1.98 goals against average and a .897 save percentage.
Chris Butler put a slight silver lining on his so-so season with a bronze medal. Wait, shouldn't that have been a bronze lining? Anyhow, Butler had two points in 10 games for Team USA.
Finally, prospective Flames back-up Reto "Yogi" Berra showed that he has the chops to be a world-class back-up goaltender with the Swiss. He won a silver medal, going 4-0 in his four starts with a 1.00 goals against and an amazing .967 save percentage. Granted, it's "just" the Worlds, but it was pretty great for him.
Meanwhile, in Saskatoon, the last meaningful hockey of the junior season is taking place in the form of the Memorial Cup tournament. Two Flames prospects are vying for the CHL's top prize. Saskatoon has split a pair of games, with Michael Ferland posting two assists thus far. He's been physical, too. The Blades finish their round robin play on Wednesday night against Portland.
Speaking of Portland, they've played once and Flames prospect Tyler Wotherspoon has zero points in a single game – which the Hawks dropped to the Halifax Mooseheads by a 7-4 score. They play tonight against the London Knights and then again Wednesday against the Blades.
If Portland wins tonight, all four teams are 1-1 after two games and things will get interesting. If Portland loses, they drop to 0-2 and basically disappear from contention already. High stakes.
Well, the Blues are out. And the Penguins have a lead. What does this mean? Presuming, as I will do here, that the Kings, Blackhawks, Bruins and Penguins will be in the conference finals, here's what will happen.
- Calgary's own pick remains at 6th overall.
-St. Louis' first rounder would be 22nd overall.
- Pittsburgh's first rounder would be one of the last four picks, between 27th and 30th overall.
If the Penguins lose, though, because Chicago is the only remaining division winning team that finished ahead of them, the best that Flames fans can hope to draft with their pick is 25th or 26th. Best case is probably Chicago and Pittsburgh losing, in terms of draft picks. If that happened, the Flames would pick 6th, 20th and 25th.
Govern your cheering accordingly.
And on a lighter note, I (finally) tabulated the season's FGD records sorted by writer. Based on who wrote the game preview, here's how the Flames did.
I went 9-8-1, boasting a .500 winning percentage. BookofLoob was tied in winning percentage, at 1-1-0. Justin Azevedo went 3-4-1 (for a .375 winning percentage), while Nations overlord Kent Wilson went 4-8-2 for a woeful .285 winning percentage. Only Vintage Flame (0-3-0) was worse.
Collectively, the FN writing crew went 17-24-4. The OilerNation guest writers produced two Flames wins in the three games they previewed for us.
Finally, if I were drafting as Flames GM, with the 6th, 22nd and 30th picks, here's who I would grab.
At 6th overall: Sean Monahan, from the Ottawa 67s. He's big, a center and has experience being a good player on a bad team. Much like how I enjoyed Brett Kulak carrying the mail in Vancouver (as I think it helps his development), the same can be said for Monahan in Ottawa.
At 22nd overall: Morgan Klimchuk, from the Regina Pats. For one, he's a Calgary kid, but much like Monahan, he's experienced at being a prime guy on his team. He's also a very strong three-zone player and a guy who seems will translate to the professional ranks without much hassle due to his playing style.
At 30th overall: Ryan Hartman, from the Plymouth Whalers. I've been a fan of his since I saw him make life miserable for the opposition at the World Juniors. While boasting good offensive instincts and some strong skill, I mostly like Hartman because of his insane competitiveness and how he's just a huge pain in the backside for the other team.
Boy, great discussions here guys. I have read a bunch about the draft options for the Flames .... exciting times. I really believe at #6 it will be Monahan or Lindholm ... and most articles say not much difference .... Lindholm and Monahan seem to be both rated as #1 centers, but not game breakers .... but given the lack of a top center I hope they go with one of the 2 ...... no way Barkov drops to us.
With the St Lou pick take Rychel ..... then Hartman .... two heavy sand paper guys that would make us a tough team to compete again !
Morrissey in place of Rychel would work .....
How could we not have taken Olie Matta last year when we had the chance ? STILL drives me nuts.
Love the debate guys .....
Problem is I see Nashville taking Barkov, Carolina grabbing Lindholm, then we need to take Nichuskin. Most people won't think that's a good idea, but this guy is basically the next Malkin, or so I hope. Monahan will need a year in the AHL before he plays with the big squad. Nichuskin will play in the KHL for one more year, then come over after one. He'll be able to prove he belongs in the NHL and then we'll be good to go.
Carolina has to go with Nurse .... they desperately need D.
@john peart
"How could we not have taken Olie Matta last year when we had the chance ? STILL drives me nuts."
I can't speak for the Flames' brass, obviously, but I can say for myself that whenever I've watched Maatta I've been completely underwhelmed. It's entirely possible I only caught him on bad days (I mean, everyone was terrible in last year's memorial cup unless they played for Shawinigan). In any event, I think his skating is VERY overrated. His stride is awkward as hell and he doesn't generate much speed.
Of course, I haven't watched him recently, either.
Carolina has to go with Nurse .... they desperately need D.
If they wanted D they could trade down and acquire more picks. Taking Nurse or Ristolainen or any other D other than Jones in the top 5 would be ridiculous. But if it happened it can only help us. There is no sense in us moving up to Carolina's spot, it's the same thing as #6 just with a better % of getting Barkov and 100% of getting Lindholm. I'd love it if they took a D this high. Just can't see it happening.
Just read an article on Bleachereport ..... has the St Lou pick being the #19 selection .... boy, really hard to figure out exactly where the pick will land .... seems to jump all over depending where you read .... anyone know for sure ?
@john peart
Fairly sure it's 22. Not certain
May 21 2013, 09:19PM
Just read an article on Bleachereport ..... has the St Lou pick being the #19 selection .... boy, really hard to figure out exactly where the pick will land .... seems to jump all over depending where you read .... anyone know for sure ?
Assuming CHI, PIT, and BOS move on we would pick 22nd. With each of them that would lose in this round, we would gain 1 draft spot.and get as high as 19th.

Two later 1st round picks and Glencross for a top 4? You take that deal and run.
Where does this myth about this being a deep draft come from? Its certainly not 2003... This draft was speculated to be deep 2-3 years ago but its fizzled and I don't think anyone thinks its a banner draft anymore except Flames fans.
Personally I'd rather have 1 top 3 pick instead of 8, 16, 21, 30 like some are suggesting through a trade down.
Laugh all you want at the Oilers (I do) but they have proven that 3 first rounders doesn't mean squat if they don't pan out. They had very similar positions to us in 08 and drafted Sam Gagner at 6 or 7 or whatver they had (who turned into a legit 2nd line depth player, but not a game breaker or team changer). Then they got 2 big busts with the other 1st rounders.
We can agree to disagree I guess. I don't believe volume translates to elite talent. Thats the crux of my arguments on why we need patience and a slow plan for the next 2-3 years that includes at least 1 more top draft finish (hopefully top 5 next year).
That article is baffling. By all accounts, the 1st round this year is very deep. After that, it falls off considerably which is why I don't like the idea of trading down for extra picks.
THN publishes that article btw, but in their draft preview, they call this the best draft since 2003.
So go figure.
Two later 1st round picks and Glencross for a top 4? You take that deal and run.
Unfortunately Tampa would never do that deal. We might be low balling the value that other teams put into their top 4 picks. Yzerman might take that but Feaster wouldn't offer that . I hope these ideas have occurred to him.
Many thanks for that ... first time I have read it in a way that I understand .... now I know who to cheer for ..... Go Wings Go !
Two later 1st round picks and Glencross for a top 4? You take that deal and run.
You couldn't even get that for the Oilers seventh - don't kid yourself .

You couldn't even get that for the Oilers seventh - don't kid yourself .
Yeah. I know. That's why I wrote what I did. It wasn't my proposition just giving my two cents that if that ever came up that you do it in a heartbeat.

Forty Weeks of Fitness with Chelsea
Chelsea earned her B.S. in Health Sciences from James Madison University in 1999 and is certified as a health and fitness instructor from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). She has worked in the fitness industry for 14 years and as a personal trainer for seven, and currently works for Crunch gym in San Francisco, California.
"I started my career in fitness as an aerobic instructor at the age of 16...it was a free gym membership," says Chelsea. "My passion for working with people while keeping myself and our members healthy grew as I honed my skills. As I started college, I debated between studying health or business; personal training is the perfect mix!"
"During my pregnancy I maintained my fitness level and made modifications when necessary. I enjoyed boxing and running up until the fifth month when the additional weight became uncomfortable, but I continued other activities, such as hiking, walking, resistance training, step classes and yoga, up to the day before I delivered. Madeira Re was born on 7.7.06 and weighed 6 lbs 6 oz and I was back to taking walks four days after her birth, slowly at first and then gradually increasing my speed and distance. To celebrate feeling great I ran a 12k (7.8 miles) race the day she turned three months old!"

The Emery County Community Theatre presented Honk recently on the Emery High stage. Honk is the untold musical story of the ugly duckling. It is a darling show that follows Ugly, played by Colton Leavitt, the supposed duck on his journey to become a beautiful swan. Ugly avoids being eaten by the cat played by Tyrell Clement.
Ida, Ugly's mother, is played by Rosanne Dawes who goes on a search to find her son, while leaving Drake played by Brian Dawes at home to take care of the other ducklings. "This show presented a wonderful message for everyone. We had such an incredible and talented cast," said organizers.
The show which ran for three evenings also had a matinee on Saturday afternoon. The show was colorful, whimsical and funny as it followed the lost duckling on his way home. Clement the cat was always looking for opportunities to trick Honk into being his dinner. Honk was delightfully played by Leavitt as he searched for the path home to his loving family of ducklings. Dawes was the ever protective mother who made the journey to bring Honk back to the barnyard. Drake, as a typical duck dad, has a little trouble at the roost while his wife is away on her search for Honk.
Honk has many colorful characters along the way who try to help him get back home.
The Emery County Community Theatre produces a play once each year and participates in the Emery County fair with a play or musical entertainment. They produced Beauty and the Beast last summer at the Castle Valley Pageant site.

NFL Draft Report

Mario's $18.8 million cap hit a "non-issue" to Bills
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Feb 22 2014 10:16AM
With loads of cap space, the Buffalo Bills don't have to make many hard decisions with some of the better players on their roster. And even though they employ a player with a roster bonus and salary jump that would make most front offices squirm, the Bills are intent on standing pat.
The highest paid defensive player in NFL history still resides on the Bills roster and Mario Williams won't need to worry about restructuring his deal. Williams is owed a $10.6 million roster bonus with the start of the new league year in March, which is more money than any single player from Buffalo's roster is owed for their salary this season.
The bonus is paired with a $6.4 million jump in the defensive end's cap number with the Bills, accounting for $18.8 million of Buffalo's annual salary allotment. Normally with a cap figure as jarring as the one Williams is owed, teams will work to restructure the deal.
Bills general manager Doug Whaley isn't concerned about it.
At this time, non-issue," he said Friday. "We're comfortable where it is right now."
Williams has back-to-back double-digit seasons, collecting 23.5 sacks and forcing three fumbles during his first two seasons in Buffalo. Including 2014, the defensive end has four years left on his contract, with cap numbers of $18.8 million, $19 million (2015), $19.9 million (2016) and $16.5 million (2017).

Dixie State remained unbeaten at home this season using a stifling first half defensive effort to open a big lead and hold off Academy of Art, 86-73. The fifth Burns win in front of 2,641 fans improved the 20th ranked Red Storm to 15-3 on the season and 9-3 within the PacWest.
DeQuan Thompson scored 14 of his team-high 19 points in the opening half. He netted half of DSU's six 3-pointers in the opening 20 minutes. Zach Robbins extended his double double streak to seven games finishing with 15 points and 15 rebounds. The big man accounted for 10 points and five boards in the opening 20 minutes and flipped the numbers in the second half (five points, 10 rebounds).
"It was a good win," DSU head coach Jon Judkins said. "I thought our zone offense was really good and scoring 16 points in the key in the opening half helped."
Dixie State and the Urban Knights (4-15/2-10 PacWest) battled back and forth in the opening nine minutes. With a slim 19-18 advantage, Dixie State went on a 11-0 run sparked by a triple from Louis Garrett and capped with a Robbins jumper. The Storm closed the half with six straight points to lead 44-27 at the break.
The Storm did not let up midway through the second half, extending the lead at its largest point to 28 points on a Jordan Rex (Saint George, UT) layup.
Thompson provided the highlight of the night under the five-minute mark. Off a Robbie Nielson(Gresham, OR) blocked shot, Kimball Payne (Alpine, UT) took the outlet pass and floated an alley-oop towards the hoop. Thompson jumped from the opposite side of the hoop and emphatically slammed home the ball to bring the Burns Arena faithful to a frenzied uproar.
"He was up pretty high and there were guys underneath him, but you can't do pull-ups," Judkins added. "He did not complain about the call (technical for hanging on the rim) because it was the right call, but that was a great play."
The Urban Knights kept fighting with an 8-1 run over the final three minutes, but they could not get any closer.
The Red Storm also got double figure scoring from two guys off the bench. Garrett closed the game with 12 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Curtis Papenfuss (Happy Valley, OR) added 11 points, six boards and two assists.
DSU shot 41.9 percent from the floor (31-74) and 9-of-19 from beyond the arc to improve on its league-leading outside shooting. The Strom also won the battle of the boards by posting a season-high 57 rebounds.
ART U also had four in double figures lead by a game-high 25 points from Alex Carmon. Alexis Moore added 18.
Dixie State hosts Dominican on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The Penguins (14-7/8-5) defeated Point Loma on Thursday, 68-58, behind a career-high 26 points by Connor Haysbert.
