I owned a 2013 XTS, Platinum Trim. I love this car. Unfortunately, my wife needs to use a memory foam cushion no thicker than 3" as she has a back problem. In the past eight years she has used this cushion, I have owned 5 cars including 3 Corvettes and have rented at least 40 cars of varying makes and models. She has NEVER had a problem with activation of the passenger side airbag. The XTS passenger airbag will not activate. She is 5'1" and weighs 115 lbs. I have tried in another XTS with same negative result. No problem with a 2013 CTS loaner. I believe there is a defect in the design of the seat and or sensor array. My guess is that it is related to the moveable panel at the front of the seat.I can activate the airbag if I place a thin hardback book under the cushion. Even if I wait 5 minutes and remove the book, the airbag turns off. I have tried many other maneuvers. Neither Cadillac nor the dealer has been able to help, only quoting the boilerplate in the manual about adding anything on the seat. I get that, but this has been a problem in no other auto. I reluctantly had to turn in the car and take a huge, but expected loss.
Has anyone else had this problem or heard of it? It really is a safety issue as I suspect a lot of older folks will buy this car and want to use a cushion. If they are even aware the airbag won't activate, they probably would just use the car anyway as most would not take the financial loss.

Vero Beach Florida Dentist Offers Mini Dental Implants
Dr John Cairns a dentist in Vero Beach Florida Offers Popular Mini Dental Implants
Why MDI Mini Dental Implants?
Even the best denture adhesives can't compare to the denture stability achieved with mini dental implants. 3M™ MDI mini dental implants are designed to help denture wearers laugh, talk and live with comfort and confidence.
As the most popular small diameter implant system in America, 3M™ MDI mini dental implants were developed to provide greater denture stability for those who:
•Can't withstand the rigors of full-size implant surgery
•Don't have enough bone to allow for full-sized implants to be placed
•Are seeking a more affordable dental implant option
How MDI Mini Dental Implants Work
The 3M™ Mini Dental Implant (MDI) Denture Stabilization System consists of:
•A metal housings that is incorporated into the base of your denture.
•A rubber O-ring, housed in the metal housings, to provide the seal that locks the pieces into place.
•Mini titanium alloy dental implants, rooted into the jawbone, that act as an anchor to stabilize a lower denture.
The Mini Dental Implant Procedure
The mini dental implant procedure takes place in your dentist's office, with local anesthesia. Typically, the procedure takes only one appointment and can be completed within 2-hours!
Your dentist uses a precise and controlled technique to insert the small diameter implants (around 2 millimeters wide) into your jawbone.
•With heads that are shaped like a ball, the implants protrude from the gum tissue where they will provide a secure anchor for your dentures.
•Metal housings that carry a rubber O-ring will be inserted into the bottom of your dentures.
•When your dentist seats the dentures on the mini dental implants, the O-ring snaps over the ball like a socket and locks the dentures firmly into place as they gently rest on the gum tissue.
Implants are designed to help your dentures work like natural teeth, allowing easy and comfortable mobility for functions such as eating, talking and laughing.
The Results
Because of the minimally invasive nature of the mini dental implant procedure, the MDI placement won't require you to go through a lengthy healing period.
Within a few days, you'll be out and about, enjoying a lunch of your favorite foods, talking with ease, laughing and smiling freely. All that time, you're feeling a new stability in your dentures—secure that they have the staying power you need without messy denture adhesives or creams.

Last week, we reported about questions being raised about Attorney General Mark Shurtleff's relationship with businessman Mark Robbins and whether it created a conflict of interest in an investigation into a development near UTA's Draper FrontRunner station, which Robbins had a hand in.
Apparently, the top attorneys in the office thought it created a conflict, because they have turned the case over to the feds to investigate.
One of the tidbits that raised questions about the Robbins-Shurtleff connection was an email Shurtleff sent with his
VIP guest list for the 2009 inauguration
. The list included Robbins as a "major contributor," but also had an extraordinary cast of characters.
Here's a rundown of who else made it into Shurtleff's inner-circle:
• Tim Lawson — Fixer, friend and key player in the various and sundry allegations of misconduct
• Ted Johnson — CEO of The Tax Club, defendant in FTC action
• Jeremy Johnson — founder of I Works, sued by FTC and facing criminal charges
• Rob Stahura — Formerly of Mentoring of America, which was sued by the FTC
• Sov Ouk — A friend who,
according to City Weekly, Shurtleff helped out
• Alan Dayton — Utah lobbyist for several clients, including, at one time, I Works
• Ryan Poelman — Formerly of Bloosky, an online marketing business
• Jason Brailow — Direct marketer cited by state, former business partner of Jeremy Johnson
• James Bramble — Attorney for USANA
• Bryan Davis & Gordon Morton — Co-founders of Xango
• Steve Creamer — At the time was CEO of EnergySolutions
• Patrick Byrne — Founder of Overstock.com
• Mitch Jensen, David Biggs, Joe Steele — Big donors who landed a major contract from the AG to handle a drug lawsuit
• George Brunt & Randy Garn — Lawyer for and founder of, respectively, Prosper, Inc., which was sued by the FTC
• Mike Moffitt — President of Gold Cross Ambulance
• Doug Foxley — Utah lobbyist whose clients include payday loan industry
• Chris Kyler — Executive director of Utah Association of Realtors, lobbyist
• Bob Lichfield — Founder of a chain of teen wilderness reform camps
• Betty Ariel — Former lobbyist for EnergySolutions
• Mark Robbins — Figure in Draper UTA project, former partner of Marc Sessions Jenson Documents raise questions about AG's probe of UTA deal

I am heading to Charlotte to the airport to pick up a friend coming in on a flight later on tonight and I was wondering if I could CC in the airport. I have a SC CWP anyone got a link to nc concealed carry laws?
I know Greensboro airport has the typical no weapons sign on the sliding door and IIRC so does Charlotte. However their are no metal detectors to pass through unless you are boarding a plane.
In MN anyway I have been in the 'front' area of the airport-where any general public is allowed. I saw signs in the parking ramps that said no wepons allowed, but I think those were meant for the terrorists:smile:
Just keep your eyes peeled and don't walk through any metal detectors, but those are obvious to see. I wouldn't walk in there with it-and then ask a security gaurd if your okay, but its maybe not a bad idea to call ahead anonymously.
good luck~
I worked at RDU for 12 years and no weapons allowed big sign at both entrances of airport cant see charlotte being any different.
I don't have an answer yes or no about airport carry.
Being born and raised in Charlotte (now in SC 20mi from Douglas International) the airport itself is relatively safe. But the west side neighborhoods surrounding it are very dangerous places. Just don't stray from Billy Graham Parkway (if coming up I-77) and you'll be fine.
When I would pickup my son home on Army leave I would just circle the terminal until I saw him standing outside with his bags, pop the trunk, load up and get gone. If you have to exit your vehicle you may want to lock it down in a car safe if thats an option.
Just use the cell phone lot that is near the baggage claim, have your party call when they have their luggage.
I do it all the time here in TX, the first time my wife realized I was carrying in the Airport to pick her up I thought she was going to lose her mind. She at least knew enough not to say anything until we were in the car and realized I was good since I didn't have to go into the secure area.
Well if you really want to know the answer pick up phone call airport information get transfer to airport police let them know your conceal and carry and ask them they will either say yes or no. not a big deal or try there website.Good luck to ya
Airport Law Enforcement & Emergency: 704-359-4012
Thanks and the answer is No
Did you find the answer somewhere or did you call security? I ask because I've called places when I first got my CHL if I wasn't sure and almost always got a negative even if I was legal. I think most would just say no because of their own feelings about guns rather than find out the facts.
I got the Airport OPS LT and he told me NO

If there's one Newcastle January transfer saga that looks set to trickle into the summer window, it's undoubtedly their well-documented interest in Montpellier attacking midfielder Remy Cabella.
The 23 year-old was once a youngster in a La Paillade side that claimed the Ligue 1 title back in 2012, and amid their demise towards the less flattering end of the French table, he's emerged as the club's most talismanic entity, this season claiming nine goals and five assists in 24 league appearances.
The former France U21 has also averaged an impressive 2 tackles, 2.6 shots, 2.4 key passes, 1.3 crosses and 1.9 successful dribbles per match this season.
Cabella customarily features in the No.10 role, suggesting he'd be an ideal candidate to fill Cabaye's void at the tip of midfield in the Newcastle first team. But he can also operate on either flank or as a supporting striker, offering the Magpies great versatility and quality in attack.
The Montpellier management remain clearly reluctant to sell their talented playmaker however, having recently labelled Tyneside as boring and landed Cabella with a ridiculous £86million price-tag, in parody of Gareth Bale's record-breaking summer transfer.
But the tabloids believe a bid between £10million and £15million would probably be enough to trigger the Frenchman's Ligue 1 departure, and Cabella's father revealed in January that there have been negotiations between both clubs.

Home > Opinion > Pamela Bone > Article
We must be optimistic that if war does occur in Iraq, it would make the world a better place, writes Pamela Bone.
"Were people bad or good in the olden days?" my small grandson asked me, in worried voice, the other day. "Like today," I said. "Some were bad and some were good. But mostly they were good." And, I added brightly after a minute, "People are getting better. I think most people today are better than they were in the olden days".
Well, I do think that, at the risk of being called naive, which seems to be about the worst insult you can direct at anyone these days. And at the risk of making some people angry - because oddly, some do get angry at any suggestion we might be entitled to hope - I think there is at least a possibility that the world could continue to get better.
I was going to say there are no cannibals any more, until I remembered reading that in Central African Republic men from the Movement for the Liberation of Congo were killing and eating children. I was going to say they don't chop people's heads off any more, until I remembered that in some countries they do.
The trouble is that some people still want to live in the olden days. But most people don't. And when people are given a choice between a government that will stone them for breaches of its medieval laws and one that allows them to choose how they live, most choose the latter. Most people like the freedom and prosperity liberal democracies can give, which is the reason there are such large migrations from Africa and the Middle East to Europe, and not vice versa. When there is a choice, "western" human rights turn out to be universal human rights.
"I like to imagine," wrote Phil Craig, a historian, in The Spectator recently, "this weekend's protesters sitting in a cafe in Jerusalem, Baghdad or Damascus one day, in a revitalised, democratised and peaceful Middle East, and realising that the turning point was the removal of Saddam".
I like to imagine that too. Not because I want to prove the peace protesters wrong (What else can the widespread opposition to war be but a mark of human progress?) but because the main thing stopping millions of people enjoying the same freedoms we do is the dictator running their country.
Four million Iraqis have fled Saddam Hussein's regime. "I wish people would realise that just because we are Muslims doesn't mean we support Saddam Hussein," an Australian Muslim woman said to me last week.
"We hate him even using the name of Islam."
Regime change in Iraq is a legitimate goal. It would be a huge relief if this could be achieved without war. If there has to be war it would be much better if it were sanctioned by a united Security Council. But if it does come to war, is it unreasonable to hope that it will be swift, with few civilian deaths, that Saddam's support will quickly crumble, and that the majority of Iraqis will rejoice at his capture? Or even that the US will get out as quickly as it went in, and leave the Iraqi opposition groups to run their country with the help of the UN for as long as needed?
Of course the opposite of all the above could happen. We need pessimists. You would hope the pilot of a jet plane, hearing an odd noise in the engine before take-off, was a pessimist. Pessimism is advised when the costs of action are likely to be high - as in going to war.
The great problem with the proposed war on Iraq is that it's impossible to know whether the costs of no action will be higher than the costs of action.
But you also need optimism, because if we don't believe things can get better we might as well all just give up. Besides, those who believe in the possibility of human progress have history on their side, because for most of the world's people, life is no longer nasty, brutish and short, as it was in Hobbes' time. More people were lifted out of poverty in the past few decades than at any time in history. More countries are democracies than ever before. There's been a long, slow progress towards global human rights and the development of an international rule of law. And, though you don't hear much about this (it is after all, good news), one of the greatest threats to the planet - overpopulation - is all but over. In the past 40 years the average birth rate in developing countries has gone from six per woman to 2.9, and is still falling. By 2050 the global population will start declining. If this is not an indication of the ability of human beings to make great, necessary changes I don't know what is.
A very optimistic view might be this: the fright we are having now is the fright the world needs; it will be enough to make the governments and people of the West realise we ignore great poverty and inequality in the world at our peril; it will force a determination to make the United Nations work the way it was intended; it might even persuade the Bush Administration it's not in the interests of the US to have it so hated, and that they should stop acting like the masters of the universe.
An optimistic view might be that it is entirely possible to make a world in which no children, anywhere, need to fear.

Economy grows more than expected in quarter
By Louise Egan
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Economic growth slowed to an annualized 2.9 percent in the third quarter, Statistics Canada said on Friday, but that was stronger than expected as bulging business inventories and consumer spending offset a drag from trade.
Analysts had expected a 2.2 percent annual growth rate in the quarter, and the Bank of Canada had projected 2.5 percent. The central bank says the economy can grow by 2.8 percent without fueling inflation.
Statscan also revised growth in gross domestic product for the second quarter to 3.8 percent from 3.4 percent.
The stronger-than-expected economic performance complicates life for the Bank of Canada as it ponders whether to cut interest rates on December 4 because of signs that the lofty Canadian dollar is hurting exports.
"It sort of creates a dilemma for the Bank of Canada because they know that their rate cuts can't really do much to boost manufacturing or trade," said David Watt, senior currency strategist at RBC Capital.
"So all they would basically be doing is cutting interest rates to further boost domestic demand, and the domestic side of the Canadian economy is saying we don't really need the help right now."
The central bank has kept its lending rate unchanged at 4.5 percent since July but a majority of market players now expect at least one 25 basis-point cut by the end of January.
The Canadian dollar gained initially after the report but later fell to US$1.001, or 99.89 Canadian cents, from levels of about US$1.004, or 99.60 Canadian cents, before the GDP figures were released. Bonds tilted slightly lower. Continued...

P2004 code
Has anyone had an issue with a P2004 diagnostic code?
I had one coming up after getting a pretty bad miss/stumble off idle. Runs fine at higher rpm.
After searching on Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open and Code
P2004. Found code can be caused by 1) plugged or leaking vacuum hoses 2) bad PVC valve 3) the electrical pigtail not making good contact 4) plastic bushings that hold the runner on failing 5) the DSI clip breaking 6) Dirty contacts inside the IRCM (there are step by step instructions to clean this contact for the 2.0 L Focus on the Focus Fanatics Forum. Have tried to replace PVC valve, but have bought one from 2 different shops (Advance and Napa) and neither looks like the right part.
Turns out most of these, especially 4-6, are related to the Intake manifold on the 2.0 liter engine which is completely different.
So far I've cleaned the injectors, replaced all the coils, all the plugs, all the oxygen sensors and one of the Intake manifold control runners (unknown to me, it turns out there 2 of them).
Replacing the coils pretty much eliminates the miss, but the P2004 code won't go away.I've still got one
Intake Manifold Runner Control left to replace, but short of replacing/reprogramming the PCM, I've about run out of options. The only other one is the PVC valve, but I've been to 2 different auto stores and the ones they say fit don't seem to be anything like the one on top of the throttle body (That is where the PCV valve is, correct?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A PENSIONER'S condition deteriorated following surgery for a broken leg, an inquest heard.
Rene Suckley, 90, of Station Road, Rossett, died at Wrexham Maelor Hospital.
A statement from Miss Suckley's niece Pearl Klimaszewski, of Bowling Bank, Wrexham, read to the inquest at the Guildhall, Wrexham, said she had suffered a number of falls over the years.
On October 14 Miss Suckley fell at home and was taken to the Maelor Hospital where it was discovered she had broken her femur. Surgery was carried out but her condition declined.
Medical records showed at around the New Year period Miss Suckley was started on end-of-life care and she died on January 8.
A post-mortem examination by Dr Andrew Dalton found the cause of death was bronchial pneumonia, with the fracture and fall being contributing factors.
North Wales East and Central coroner John Gittins recorded a conclusion of accidental death.

Multiple databases
It would be great to have multiple databases like you can have multiple playlists each with a separate name. Here is why. I use my laptop in several places with different configurations for storage. I have a file server at work, a different file server at home and I have external portable disks.
Most of the database is duplicated on the different storage mediums so I end up with lots of useless multiple entries in the database. For example when I am at work a song will show as being on the file server but several greyed out (not present) copies of each song are listed making it very hard to use the database. If i could just switch to the appropriate database profile it would make things easier.
Another reason people might want speparate databses is for different users. For example Dads database would only show the tracks he desires. The children could have a separate database for their tracks without cluttering up Dads database with tracks he would never listen to.
makes total sense, but it is quite a development
I put it in the pipeline
Actually it would be easier to have an option to just not show the non present tracks. ie when you scan folders on startup just show the present files. it would be an easier method of adding files as well to automatically add ones in your watch folders on startup.
p.s. is the development actually continuing on this product

Hey guys;
Not getting out of the Supra game yet, but I'm still a ways away from having a running car...nevermind a painted car and really have no use for these. I need to sell them all together as I really don't have time and unfortunately I don't have the boxes and can't ship them.
If you purchases these right now the parts alone are $3000:
Getting them up to Buffalo and then Toronto is another $300+, taxes are...well you get the picture.
I'm asking $2500cnd(rougly $1900usd) and I'm pretty firm, I don't really need to sell them but I just have no immediate use for them.
You know how to reach me if you're interested. Below are not actual pictures of my parts, mine are 100% new and have never been close to a running MK2.George

The incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome, or CTS, has increased dramatically in the past 25 years, with the majority of cases occurring in workers whose tasks involve repetitive hand movements.
Carpal tunnel is also extremely expensive to treat. A 1998 study found that the most common surgical procedure for CTS, release of the transverse carpal ligament, is performed approximately 460,000 times a year, at a direct medical cost of nearly $2 billion.3 Another study published in 1997 concluded that the average cost to treat one case of CTS nationwide, including surgery, was approximately $12,000.4 Only about 40% of patients who undergo surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome regain normal use of their hands; approximately one-third continue to experience pain and loss of function, and another five percent actually get worse.
Just as ergonomists have looked for ways to reduce the rate of CTS at home and in the workplace, scientists have also looked at ways of treating, or even curing, those already diagnosed with the condition. A new study published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation5 has delivered promising news for longtime CTS sufferers. Using a combination of laser acupuncture and electrical stimulation, researchers were able to reduce pain and tingling in the affected hands and wrists, with results so dramatic that every patient who received treatment was able to return to their original jobs after the study ended.
The study included 11 patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (nine men, two women, average age 53.5). All 11 subjects had tried more conservative treatments, including anti-inflammatories and wrist splints, from 3-30 months without obtaining effective pain relief. Prior to the start of the study, the patients were subjected to a battery of neurological and physical tests to determine the severity of the symptoms. Five patients were diagnosed with borderline/mild CTS; the rest were diagnosed as moderate.
Patients were randomized to receive two series of real or sham treatments. Patients were treated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for three or four consecutive weeks, for a total of 9-12 treatment sessions. The study used a crossover design, meaning that after the first treatment series was completed, patients "crossed over" and received the other treatment. Patients were evaluated at baseline and within a week after the end of each treatment series. Scores taken at the end of the first treatment series were used as pretreatment scores for the second series.
Three devices were used to deliver care: a red-beam laser (continuous wave, 15 milliwatts, helium/neon, with a two-millimeter diameter probe tip) for shallow acupuncture points on the hand and fingers; an infrared laser (9.4 watts, gallium/arsenide diode, pulsed, with a five-millimeter diameter probe) for deeper points along the elbow, shoulder, upper back and cervical spine; and a microamps TENS device applied to the affected wrist.
The study utilized a complicated, sequential approach to care. In the first step of a "real" treatment session, the red-beam laser was placed perpendicularly directly on the skin of the affected hand at acupuncture point PC7. Next, the circular electrode for the TENS device was applied to the skin and centered over PC7, while the grounding pad was applied to the skin and centered over point TW4 near the wrist. After being taped into place, the TENS device was turned on and, after a subsensational level was obtained, pulsed frequencies were used on the hand for a total of 20 minutes.
While the TENS device was delivering treatment at PC7, the red-beam laser was moved and applied to other points on the hand for 66.6 seconds per point. Finger points such as Lu11, LI1, PC9, TW9, Ht9 and SI1 were used because of their distinction as well points for each meridian that passes through the wrist. Other points (such as Lu9, Ht7 and 8, PC8 and ba xie points in the webbing of the fingers) were chosen because they are traditionally used to treat hand pain.
Also during the TENS treatment, the infrared laser was applied to no less than five deeper acupuncture points on the upper arm, the upper trapezius muscle, and the cervical spine. Each point was treated for a minimum of one minute at each of three pulse settings (73, 584 and 3,500 pulses per second) and varying frequencies. Points used varied by patient, but generally included TW5 and 9; PC6; and LI 10, 11 and 15. For the cervical spine, the researchers used hwa to points lateral to the cervical 5 to thoracic 1 vertebrae, along with GB20; SI 10 and 11; and other locally painful points. Each treatment session lasted 35-45 minutes depending on the number of points stimulated.
During the sham phase, each patient was subjected to the same regimen, but with controls installed to ensure the devices were not being used. For example, during sham laser treatments, there was no emission from either the red or infrared lasers. In addition, the TENS device was turned off during sham treatment. All treatments were also performed with the patient's elbow, forearm and hand placed below and through the bottom of a black curtain, so that patients could not see whether the devices were turned on.
Several tests were used to measure the outcomes of care, including the McGill Pain Questionnaire, which measures the severity of pain using several physical and psychological factors. The scientists also performed tests to determine entrapment or irritation of the median nerve of the affected hand.
Three patients responded extremely well to the sham treatment. The researchers stated that this response was "consistent with placebo response rates in which sham LLLT has been included in studies to treat pain"; therefore, their results were not incorporated into the analysis.
Of the remaining eight patients, none experienced a significant reduction in pain following the sham treatment; however, seven patients reported 50% or greater pain reduction following real acupuncture, either as the first or second treatment series. The average MPQ score dropped from 21.87 pre-real acupuncture to 3.75 post-real acupuncture, a decrease of approximately 83%.
Tests using the Phalen's and Tinel's signs to detect nerve entrapment or irritation also appeared encouraging. Seven of nine patients who tested positive for the Phalen's sign prior to real treatment tested negative following real acupuncture; only one of eight patients who had a positive Phalen's sign before being treated with sham acupuncture tested negative afterward.
Similarly, all six patients with a positive Tinel's sign prior to real treatment tested negative after receiving real acupuncture. In those who received sham acupuncture first, the number of patients with a positive Tinel's sign actually increased.
The researchers noted an enormous potential cost savings in treating CTS with laser acupuncture compared to more traditional methods. Using a baseline of $65 per office visit, a series of 15 laser acupuncture and TENS sessions would cost $975, compared to the estimated $5,246 it currently takes to treat one case of carpal tunnel syndrome in the U.S. without using surgery.4 "Thus, there is a potential savings of at least $4,000 per mild to moderate CTS case," they concluded.
In an interview with Reuters Health,6 Dr. Margaret Naeser, a neurologist at Boston University School of Medicine and lead investigator of the study, said the reasons behind laser acupuncture and TENS' effectiveness in treating carpal tunnel syndrome remain unknown. However, she added that laser therapy has been known to act as an anti-inflammatory, and offered other possible explanations, including increased levels of serotonin and endorphins and improved local blood circulation. She also had no reservations about suggesting laser acupuncture as a primary form of care for CTS.
"It is my recommendation that this therapy be used as a first-line treatment," Naeser said. "Rather than just simply alleviating the pain and symptoms, the treatment appears to cure the problem, although we have no way of knowing" how long patients remain pain-free without repeated followup visits.

Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney, Ben Bernanke shares your frustration.
Mr. Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, on Thursday expressed a hint of consternation over the slow recovery of the U.S. housing market. It seems he can't help but wonder if overly cautious lenders now are the biggest problem.
"Certainly, some tightening of credit standards was an appropriate response to the lax lending conditions that prevailed in the years leading up to the peak in house prices," Mr. Bernanke said in a speech in Atlanta. "However, it seems likely at this point that the pendulum has swung too far the other way, and that overly tight lending standards may now be preventing creditworthy borrowers from buying homes, thereby slowing the revival in housing and impeding the economic recovery."
Mr. Bernanke's lament has echo of Mr. Carney's "dead money" dirge over corporate Canada's apparent preference for hoarding cash at low interest rates rather than investing that money, or using it to hire people.
The U.S. and Canadian central bank chiefs have reason to be frustrated: their carefully studied policies aren't working the way they are supposed to.
Teodora Paligorova and Jesus A. Sierra Jimenez, economists at the Bank of Canada, published a paper Thursday in the Bank of Canada Review that suggests the longer interest rates stay low, the more likely it is that banks will make riskier loans. "Studies find that the terms of loans to risky borrowers become less stringent in periods of low interest rates," they write. "This risk-taking channel may amplify the effects of traditional transmission mechanisms, resulting in the creation of excessive credit."
In the U.S., the benchmark interest rate has been at zero since the end of the 2008, and the Fed currently is engaged in its third round of quantitative easing, a policy that sees the central bank create money to buy financial assets. In Canada, the central bank has left its overnight target at the ultra-low 1 per cent for more than two years.
Those policies clearly have played an important role in arresting the financial crisis. Canada has fully recovered from its recession, and the U.S. economy is growing steadily. But both central banks charitably describe growth in their countries as moderate. Aside from Canada's mortgage market, where banks are free to issue debt that's backed by the government, there is no little reason to worry about "excessive" credit.
Policy makers are learning the limits of low interest rates in an economy that is suffering a nasty hangover. Few rational people go to the bar when they feel wretched from the night before, not even when it is Happy Hour. Economies appear to function the same way.Report Typo/Error

Each election year, you can count on GW students, alumni, and professors making headlines. They help run the campaigns, cover them for media outlets, research and study them, and support them as volunteers and convention delegates.
This year's race was no exception. From Republican nominee Mitt Romney's campaign manager, to President Barack Obama's director of speechwriting, to a network chief White House correspondent, to a handful of nominating convention speakers—GW community members were major forces behind the election.
Here, GW Magazine rounded up some of the prominent people involved in the 2012 presidential race.
—GW Today, the School of Media and Public Affairs, and the Colonial Cable contributed to this story.
Want to know about the key players on the Obama and Romney campaigns? A peek inside Eric Appleman's head is a good place to start.
Mr. Appleman, BA '93, has been gathering information on presidential campaigns since he was an undergraduate, when he organized an exhibit for Gelman Library on the 1992 election. Since then, he has developed online resources for presidential elections on his website Democracy In Action.
"I want to help people follow the campaign in an intelligent way," says Mr. Appleman, who still conducts much of his research at Gelman Library.
His website provides original reporting and photography and an overall framework for following the campaigns, which includes lists of the people staffing them.
But identifying presidential campaign staff members isn't always easy. The staffs are constantly changing and expanding. "It's just a question of a big jigsaw puzzle," Mr. Appleman says.
To fill out his list, he started in 2010 with the pre-campaign organizations. "You start at the beginning and keep a close eye on news sources and go to events and ask questions."
With all of his research, he was able to develop the below list of key campaign staff members, many of whom are GW alumni like him. To learn more, visit www.p2012.org.

Everyone knows that a candidate's biggest supporter is his spouse. That means the most valuable member of Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan's team is his wife, Janna Ryan, who graduated from GW Law School in 1998.

According to Adam Conner, the highlight of his career has been "getting 12 million people to click a button on the same day."
That statement, of course, is on Facebook just like the button he referenced—an "I voted" button promoted on Election Day 2010 to encourage voter participation.
As Facebook's public policy manager, Mr. Conner, BA '06, focuses on how the social media network can engage users with government and was the Obama campaign's go-to guy for Facebook strategy. (The company also has a staff member who helped the Romney campaign.)
Nearly five years after starting Facebook's Washington office—which he initially set up in his apartment—Mr. Conner reflects on his work with the social media giant. For starters, he now has an office and co-workers.
Q: In what ways has your job at Facebook changed since starting the Washington office?
A: When I joined the company in 2007, I spent my first few years explaining to lawmakers, their staffers, government agencies, and others what Facebook was and why they should use it. I don't have to do that anymore. But there's always more work to be done to make sure that elected officials, political candidates, and government agencies are maximizing their use of Facebook and understand how to take advantage of the new products, tools, and features that we roll out regularly.
Q: In regard to the presidential election, describe how you aided the Obama/Biden campaign.
A: We have a great cross-functional team at Facebook that worked on the U.S. election. I help manage our team that worked with the Obama campaign, and my Republican counterpart has the same responsibility for the Romney campaign. We're very focused on making sure that both presidential campaigns—and campaigns at all levels of government—understand all that Facebook has to offer and how they can best take advantage of that, whether through Facebook pages, platform, or advertising.
Q: How did you get your start at Facebook?
A: After I graduated, I decided to go to work for former Virginia Gov. (and now Sen.) Mark Warner, a GW alum, as he explored a possible run for president. I worked on his online team and when I was there I met some people from Facebook and ended up buying the first political ads on Facebook on behalf of the campaign. I stayed in touch with the Facebook contacts, and eventually they reached out and asked me to be the first Facebook staffer in Washington.
Q: Favorite part of the job during this election season?
A: I love watching how technology is evolving and being integrated into all aspects of campaigns—from communications to field operations.
Q: Biggest challenge during this election season?
A: My job is to help political candidates at every level of government maximize their use of Facebook. That's a lot of races, and there are only so many hours in the day.
Q: Anybody who is friends with you on Facebook knows about your affinity for the vice president. For instance, you've posted on your Facebook wall an inspirational poster you had made from a lengthy Joe Biden quote. Have you met him?
A: I've been to a few events with Vice President Joe Biden, but I have not had the chance to be photographed with him. If any GW alums are VPOTUS staff, this is me awkwardly asking for an invite to the VP's holiday party.
Q: Anything else you want to add?
A: When I started at GW, Facebook didn't exist. When I graduated from GW, my job didn't exist. So the places life can take you are pretty extraordinary.

If you follow politics, you may know that Mitt Romney garnered a lot of political insight from his parents—former Michigan Gov. George Romney and one-time Senate hopeful Lenore Romney. What you may not know about his parents is that both of them attended GW.
Lenore Romney graduated from GW with a bachelor's degree in English in 1929. George Romney, who, according to Time magazine, was courting Lenore so heavily that he followed her to GW from Utah, was a student at GW Law.
The two married in 1931 and moved to Michigan, where George became a leader in the auto industry and began his political career. He served as governor for three terms and campaigned to be the Republican presidential nominee in 1968. Lenore, who previously worked as an actress in Hollywood for a few years, ran for a Senate seat in 1970.

When GW alumnus and NBC News Chief White House Correspondent and Political Director Chuck Todd visited his alma mater last November to give a preview of the 2012 election, there was still a crowded field of hopeful Republican nominees.
He told the audience that the first time he heard a speech from one of those Republican hopefuls—Newt Gingrich—was at Funger Hall in 1991, when Mr. Todd was a student at the university.
"Twelve people showed up," said Mr. Todd, who attended GW from 1990 to 1994, adding that Mr. Gingrich asked the students to take notes. "He wasn't trying to win the room; he was trying to lecture to the room, and in many ways he is that same guy [now]."
Nearly a decade after that first encounter with the former speaker of the House and months after giving his election preview at GW, Mr. Todd and other alumni were on the campaign trail of the two candidates racing for president.
Among the alumni in media who tackled this year's presidential campaign coverage are these Washington journalists.

"From watching hundreds of people pack into a diner in Atlantic, Iowa, on a below freezing day in January for a chance to meet Mitt Romney, to the Texas delegates at the RNC in their nightly themed outfits, to the sea of "Forward, Not Backward" signs on the floor of the DNC. These are the moments that have made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Getting to see firsthand how enthusiastic and passionate people are all around the country has been an experience I will never forget."

"This is the first election in the Twitter era, and with an unprecedented number of primary debates, daily polls, etc., it's a challenge to continually cut through all the noise and spin and provide voters with the latest, most accurate information and do it all in context. What we try to do every morning is set the table for viewers and to provide them with what they need to know about their world, their country, and the election."
Shawna Thomas, BA '02
White House Producer, NBC News
"There are over 400 members of Congress, but only one president, so the focus on him is much more intense. Everything the president does is news."
Students and visitors of the Media and Public Affairs Building this fall will have a chance to see Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, David Axelrod, Tea Partiers, and Lady Liberty.
More than 30 editorial cartoons probing the presidential election and other current issues are on display throughout the fall semester as part of an Association of American Editorial Cartoonists festival.
The September festival attracted prominent cartoonists and caricaturists from across the nation to SMPA for panels, drawing sessions, and a competitive cartooning event called "Cartoon Death Match."
"Nothing proves that free speech is alive and well more than the political cartoon," says AAEC President John Cole.

Alumnus Omar Woodard's experience as a Pennsylvania delegate at the Democratic National Convention gave him a familiar feeling.
"Anywhere you look in American politics, you find GW alumni," says Mr. Woodard, BA '05, MPA '07, who is also a former recent alumni trustee.
With GW alumni at both the Republican and Democratic conventions, the Office of Alumni Relations hosted receptions at each event, which drew more than 100 alumni and other GW community members.
Mark Kennedy, director of GW's Graduate School of Political Management, who served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2001 to 2007, hosted the event at the Republican convention in Tampa, Fla.
"Having studied in Foggy Bottom—in proximity to the White House and the Capitol—students become aware of the importance of being involved," says Mr. Kennedy, adding that "GW alumni are well placed on both sides of the political landscape."
Mr. Woodard, who hosted the alumni event at the DNC in Charlotte, N.C., says he ran into "no less than 30 fellow GW alumni." GW junior Alex Yudelson and freshman Maggie Wedeman also attended the DNC as delegates.
"Many GW alumni are actively participating as delegates, press, elected officials, and campaign staff," Mr. Woodard says.
—GW Today
On the Democratic convention's opening night, Illinois Rep.-elect Tammy Duckworth, MA '92, delivered a prime-time speech. The next evening, Massachusetts Sen.-elect Elizabeth Warren, who attended GW 1966-1968, introduced former U.S. President Bill Clinton. On the third night, Kerry Washington, BA '98, took the stage alongside fellow Hollywood stars Scarlett Johansson and Eva Longoria.
In the three days of the nominating convention, several alumni were in the political spotlight as they made speeches at the DNC.
When the first portion of political science professor John Sides' book was published in August, it was an unusual occurrence. That's because the book is about the 2012 presidential election, happening three months later.
Gamble: Choice and Chance in the 2012 Presidential Election is an experiment in academic publishing, which is not known for its speed. The first two chapters of the book, which Mr. Sides is co-writing with University of California-Los Angeles Professor Lynn Vavreck, were released before November as eBook chapters.
"There's a lot of campaign commentary that amounts to supposition and opinion, and we want to provide hard evidence," says Mr. Sides, who notes that the publication pace of this book is about two to three years faster than most traditional academic books.
The book is grounded in data about the economy, public opinion, media coverage, and political advertising. Mr. Sides also showed up on the campaign trail to get qualitative data.
"We have data coming in every week, and we can leverage that," says Mr. Sides, who also co-authors the political blog The Monkey Cage and won Blogger of the Year from The Week in 2011. The blog was also named one of Time magazine's top 25 blogs of 2012.
The two chapters released in August—"The Hand You're Dealt" and "Random, or Romney?"—covered Mr. Obama's popularity in his first term and the Republican primary race. Additional eBook chapters are being published through December and the complete book will be released in fall 2013 by Princeton University Press.
Other GW researchers analyzing the presidential campaign include six Graduate School of Political Management faculty members who are collaborating on a book, Campaigning for President 2012: Strategy and Tactics.
The university also continued its POLITICO-George Washington University Battleground Poll for the 2012 election. The nationally recognized poll is distinguished from other surveys because it uses separate analyses from top pollsters representing both political parties. Gelman Library houses the data archive of the survey results dating back more than two decades.

Did you know that more than one in ten of America's bridges were classified as "structurally deficient" in 2011? Or that we have more professional tax preparers in the United States than law enforcement officers and professional firefighters combined? Or how about that student loan debt is the only category of consumer debt still rising in post-recession America?
If you were receiving a fact a day each day leading up to the election from Face the Facts USA, you would have.
Powered in part by a team of GW student journalists, the nonpartisan multimedia and civic engagement initiative illustrated a fact each day in the three months before Nov. 6 with digital videos, info graphics, and social media to help voters become more informed.
"Although we live in a blizzard of information, the irony is that we are often left without clear facts about our biggest issues," says the project's leader, Frank Sesno, director of GW's School of Media and Public Affairs and former CNN Washington bureau chief.
The initiative, which is continuing to distribute a fact a day at facethefacts.org, also hosted online events and streamed events from GW featuring leading policy experts.
Philanthropist Edward Scott Jr. made a $1 million gift to SMPA to launch the project. (see story page 37).
This presidential election year also saw many alumni being elected to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
Nine alumni—including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., Rep.-elect Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., and Sen.-elect Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.— were newly elected or re-elected to seats in Congress following November's general election. A total of 13 members of Congress are GW alumni.
"Our alumni continue to maintain a strong presence in Congress," says Renee McPhatter, assistant vice president for government and community relations. "We are so proud of this diverse group of public servants who work hard to represent their constituents and help lead the country."

Ramay Signs Contract to Play in Germany
CLU sends second player overseas in as many years
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Football for Kevin Ramay is not over even though his collegiate career came to a close in November of 2012. The soon to be Cal Lutheran graduate has signed a contract to play professional football in Germany beginning later this year.
Ramay, who played in six games for CLU last fall, was 91-for-153 for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was the opening day starter for the Kingsmen, but went down with a hand injury in the fourth game of the season on Oct. 6 at Redlands.
Fully recovered and ready to contribute, Ramay will join the Berlin Adler, one of the most successful professional football organizations in Germany. They have won six German Bowls in their history, which dates back to 1979. Most recently the Adler were the 2010 Eurobowl Champions as well as the Runner-Up in both 2011 and 1991.
Football in Europe has become very common for players from the United States to continue their playing days.
Ramay becomes the second CLU football player to bring his talents across the ocean in as many years. Jordan Barta ('11) played in Finland in 2012.

Dec. 5, 2012
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 10-ranked University of Michigan women's gymnastics team will unveil its 2013 squad on Friday (Dec. 7) in an exhibition meet against in-state rival Michigan State at Crisler Center. The meet will begin at 7 p.m. Admission is free.
Michigan enters the season looking to win its 19th Big Ten championship in the last 22 seasons (finished fourth in 2012) while also aiming to qualify to the NCAA Championships as a team for the 20th time in 22 seasons (did not compete as a team in 2012). The squad features 14 student-athletes, including 10 letterwinners from last year, and four freshmen.
The captains for this season are senior Katie Zurales (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South) and junior Joanna Sampson (Willow Grove, Pa./Upper Moreland), the team's lone qualifiers to the 2012 NCAA Championships. The team will also get a boost from the return of senior Natalie Beilstein(Butler, Pa./Knoch), who is back after missing the majority of her junior season due to a torn Achilles suffered last January. Freshmen Austin Sheppard (Dallas, Texas/Plano Ridge), Morgan Smith (Clermont, Fla./East Ridge) and Lindsay Williams (Northville, Mich./Northville) will get their first taste of collegiate gymnastics on Friday, while Briley Casanova (Dallas, Texas/Spring Creek) will enroll early and join the team in January.
U-M is 56-32 all-time against Michigan State and has won 14-straight meetings against its in-state rivals. Since it is an exhibition, Friday's meet won't count toward those records. Michigan won last season's meeting, 196.025-192.700, inside Cliff Keen Arena (March 16, 2012) and finished higher than the Spartans at both the Big Ten Championships and the NCAA Auburn Regional Championships. The two teams will meet in its lone regular-season meet on March 2 and again on March 23 at the 2013 Big Ten Championships, with both meetings held in East Lansing.
The Wolverines officially open the 2013 season against No. 9 Oregon State and BYU at the Cancun Invitational on Friday, Jan. 4, in Cancun, Mexico. U-M's first home meet will be Saturday, Jan. 12, vs. No. 7 Nebraska at 4 p.m. inside Crisler Center.
Season tickets for the 2013 U-M women's gymnastics season are on sale now. Single-meet tickets will go on sale Tuesday, Dec. 11. Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.mgoblue.com/tickets or by calling 1-866-296-MTIX.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
If the Red Sox want to get a fresh lease on the season, they'd do well to seize the spirit of Sunday's 9-3 win over Yankees and start printing shirts with a new mantra: Win Ugly. While it certainly won't be played on ESPNClassic anytime soon, the Sox staved off a sweep behind a steady performance from Jon Lester (3-2), and 3 RBI's from Jeremy Hermida. Seven starters had a hit, five had RBI's, and the Sox shellacked Yankees starter A.J. Burnett (4-1), handing him his first loss of the season.
It started early on the chilly Sunday night for the Sox, who capitalized on Marcus Thames's error in the second inning. It appeared that the wind, which blew out to right field all night, played with the fly ball, hit by Hermida, just enough to distract Thames. The ball bounced off the left-fielder's glove, allowing J.D. Drew to score. And while he didn't get credit for an RBI on the play, Hermida hit the ball sharply enough to make it a tough play in left-field. On Sunday, that was enough to get the bats going.
With Lester quickly setting down the Yankees in the top of the third, the Sox were chomping at the bit to get another shot at Burnett, who has not pitched well at Fenway since joining the Yanks. Marco Scutaro walked, and Dustin Pedroia doubled down the left-field line to put two men in scoring position for the BoSox. After a mild first two innings (perhaps soured by Friday and Saturday's sorry performances), the Fenway faithful finally came alive. Three batters later, with Kevin Youkilis having walked to first, J.D. Drew hit a sac fly that brought home Scutaro, putting the Sox up 2-0 and giving them a lead that they would never relinquish.
At this point in the game, which I was lucky enough to attend, I informed the Sox fans sitting near me that watching David Ortiz bat this season was akin to sending your child out to ride a bike even though you know they're going to crash, but having to watch them crash over and over and over until you want to turn the bike into scrap metal for their sake. I was overjoyed, however, to put my foot in my mouth just moments later when the big fella scorched a ground-rule double down the right-field line. It was Ortiz's only hit of the night, and can perhaps be attributed to the fact that Burnett's fastball was only hitting 94, even early in the game, but it was the type of confidence-boosting smash that might (fingers crossed) start turning around Ortiz's hitting.
Bucking this season's trend of following a big hit with a cringe-inducing out, the Sox continued to pour on the offense. Beltre followed Ortiz's double with another double, putting the ball between Thames and speedster Brett Gardner, and putting the Sox up 5-0. This, it seemed, fit perfectly the offseason expectations for this team; the Sox had yet to hit a home run, but the barrage of good, patient hitters was too much for Burnett, and a sac fly, two walks, and three doubles turned into five runs in the blink of an eye.
Puzzlingly, Joe Girardi left Burnett in to face Hermida. Now, Hermida's not the most most menacing batter in the league, but he'd already gotten good contact in the second inning, and he's a lefty. At this point, when you're only down five runs and you've got the most feared lineup in baseball, don't you bring in a reliever? Maybe a Yankee fan could explain this to me, but Burnett clearly didn't have his best stuff Sunday; of his four strikeouts, two of them were attributed to Darnell McDonald, who is probably an awesome guy but looked only slightly better than your average fan would have at the plate. The bottom of the Sox lineup isn't particularly intimidating, but in retrospect, Girardi made the wrong decision. I'm not even sure anyone was up in the bullpen at this point, and for as good as Burnett's been this year (and he's been VERY good), Girardi can't fall victim to Grady Little Syndrome and leave a starter in there just because he's supremely talented. With how good the Rays have been, wins in the division are key, greatest rivalry in pro sports notwithstanding, and I thought the Yanks, at this point, handed the Sox a game that was still winnable.
Back on the field, Hermida made Girardi pay for his decision, dropping a single into shallow left-field for his first official RBI of the night. At the end of the inning, the Red Sox were up 6-0 and the Yanks were yet to record a hit.
That changed abruptly when Nick Swisher, the first batter of the 4th, went yard on Lester. After striking out Mark Teixeira (whose 0-3 performance reminded Yankee fans that, despite his Saturday night outburst, Teixeira is hitting as miserably as any first basemen in the AL), Lester gave up another bomb to Alex Rodriguez. When Robinson Cano reached on a single, it seemed as though Lester might be losing steam in the face of the vaunted Yankees lineup. But the southpaw quickly regained his composure, striking out Posada and Thames to neutralize the threat. In the break between innings, Joe Girardi, who falls under the category of Shorter In Real Life Than On TV, got himself tossed for arguing balls and strikes. During the interaction between he and plate umpire Tim McLellan, Girardi looked very tame until the ejection, which leads me to believe that the Yanks' manager was arguing, mostly, as a way to get himself tossed and challenge his team to wake up and play. I love this move from managers, and while it didn't work, it shows that, even when he's not making great decisions (see: Burnett, A.J.), Girardi understands the psychological aspect of the game damn well.
Fortunately for the Sox, the Yanks took Girardi getting the heave as permission to sleep through the next five innings. Lester allowed only one more hit, trusting in his defense to track down several well-hit balls by the villains in pinstripes. For some security runs, Youkilis had an RBI double in the 5th, and an inning later, Hermida, who accounted for 5 of Boston's runs, hit the Sox' only home run of the night, an impressive shot to right-field.
Yes, Hermida was awesome, and we look forward to some repeat performances from the former Marlin, but Lester was the key Sunday. After giving up 24 runs in the past two games, the pitching staff needed a good performance, and it got a great one from the lefty. 2 earned runs in 7 IP, 7 K's, and some much-needed rest for the bullpen is the stuff SotG's are made of.
Hard not to go with the aforementioned McDonald, for whom the term "overmatched" only begins to describe how he looked Sunday, but he's supposed to be crappy. Martinez, who was brought in to be the glue of this offense at the 3-spot, especially against the Yankees, was 0-for-5. What's more, he only saw 17 pitches in those 5 AB's. If you're not going to get on base, at least make the hurlers work. Yikes.
W: Jon Lester (3-2)
L: A.J. Burnett (4-1)

'Tis the season for Santa to shape-up
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Santa Claus needs to lose weight, cut down on the mince pies and brandy and swap his reindeer and sleigh for a bicycle to become a healthier role model for children, an Australian public health doctor said.
Dr. Nathan Grills, of Australia's leading Monash University, believes the current image of Santa promotes obesity, drink-driving, speeding and a generally unhealthy lifestyle, and it would be better if he was depicted without his signature rotund belly.
Grills' research on Santa, which he said was largely tongue-in-cheek but intended to raise awareness about public health, was published in the Christmas edition of the British Medical Journal entitled "Santa Claus: A public health pariah?"
"There is a potential for someone who is as widely recognized around the world as Santa to influence people, especially children, and to show that it's okay to drink, okay to be obese," Grills told Reuters.
"It's a very small risk, but one that is spread very widely."
He argues that Santa only needs to affect health by 0.1 percent to damage millions of lives since the imaginary, fatherly figure was the only fictional character more highly recognized by American children than Ronald McDonald.
Grills also found that Santa sells, and sometimes he sells harmful products.
"The advertising aspect of Santa is very big but the original St. Nicholas idea is all about giving and generosity, it's not around Santa being the chief marketing executive of Coca-Cola," Grills explained.
Santa also potentially promotes drink-driving, Grills said in his research, referring to the tradition of leaving a glass of brandy to wish him well on his travel. "With a few billion houses to visit, Santa would soon be over the limit," he said. Continued...

Whit Graves to Run for Bossier/Webster D.A.
Attorney Whit Graves has announced that he plans to challenge incumbent Bossier/Webster District Attorney Schuyler Marvin this fall.
Before going into private practice, Graves served as an Assistant District Attorney, and later Chief Prosecutor, under previous District Attorneys Henry Brown and then Jim Bullers for 12 years. Before that, he served almost 12 years with Louisiana State Police. He says he's been encouraged to run for D.A. by many friends and supporters.
Graves says he wants to move the District Attorney's Office back to the way it was under Henry Brown. He says he wants to be a responsive and responsible D.A. and run an office that's honest, open, and caring. And he says that, if elected, the operations of the D.A.'s office will be open and transparent to everyone in the two parishes.
Graves says he's making some specific promises, if elected, to the citizens of Bossier and Webster Parishes.
First, he says he will reinstate the practice of placing police reports into the public record where anyone who wants to can read them.
Second, he wants his office staffed with full-time Assistant District Attorneys.
Third, he says he will prosecute criminals, not hire them.
And fourth, he says he will be responsible and responsive to crime victims.

KFA2 GeForce GTX 670 EX OC review -
Final words and conclusion
Final words and conclusion
Overall the GeForce GTX 670 series are hot when it comes to game performance. So nice you get your hands on the customized models, typically things only get better. The KFA2 GeForce GTX 670 EX OC is all that, the cooling performance is sufficient (though at reference level), the noise levels ... well there aren't any really and then the sheer performance is close to the GTX 680 thanks to the factory overclock.
So overall this product is really doing well. At roughly 75 Degrees C the cooling performance is definitely sufficient, it seems a tad high but KFA2 is doing that deliberately so that they can keep the FAN RPM very low. As a result this card is silent whilst being factory overclocked.
The looks and aesthetics are nice, but feel a little tame. I mean it's a good looking card, but the blue PCB should be a thing of the past really. Heck you know that they say --- once you go black ...
There is one oddity that I need to mention, coil noise. Once the card starts to do it's work you can hear remote squeeky sounds and we've noticed that in the past with other Galaxy / KFA2 products as well. It's actually at a level where it could be a tad annoying -- that said I am hugely anal when it comes to noise. But for a product that really is silent, this should not happen.
Currently we do have to mention that there is a problem with GeForce GTX 600, with VSYNC enabled people have been noticing weird stutter behavior. NVIDIA promised to get this resolved asap with a new driver update. However it is speculated that the stuttering might be directly related towards the towards the new boost mode (flexible clock frequency of the GPU going up and down). So it'll be very interesting to see how that is going to be solved. Not everybody is experiencing this issue though, should it happen to you then a temporary solve is to disable vsync until NVIDA comes up with a final solution.
Overall the card is downright excellent for the 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 monitor resolution, there's not a game out there that it can't deal with at those resolutions. Anno 2070 at the best quality settings and 4xAA pushes ~85 frames per second on average at 1920x1200, and still 50+ fps at 2560X1600. In Crysis 2 we end at an average of ~65 FPS in 1920x1200 with Ultra quality settings and that high resolution texture package and 4x AA.
Battlefield 3 is another example, with all eye candy opened up in game and again at 4xAA the card still pushes 56 FPS at 19x12 and that is just a couple of frames per second away from the GTX 680.
While this product might have one shader cluster less, the performance remains exceptionally good. The lower default base clock frequency made us wonder if the performance would crash, but once the dynamic boost clock aka turbo kicks in, the card easily operates in a 1100~1200 MHz range (if the power envelope allows it), a little trick that seems to really work out for NVIDIA.
Overclocking, the 6-pin PEG and 8-pin power connectors indicate that the power circuitry can handle more tweaking wise. The EX OC edition however already comes factory overclocked. Only another +35 MHz could added to the baseclock and with the Dynamic Clock Adjustment kicking in, that results towards roughly 1200 MHz on the clock frequency where applicable. Granted, we had hoped to get a little higher on the core though, a +100 MHz on top of the factory overclock would have been really nice. But we noticed very similar maximum clock behavior with other 670 products as well.
Right, let's wrap thing up. We like the KFA2 GeForce GTX 670 EX OC edition, we stated it in the GTX 680 review already; it is quite amazing what NVIDIA is able to do with the GK104 which we still think was intended to be the mid-range chip. Cutting away one shader cluster (SMX) and lowering the core GPU clock frequency remains a bit of a paradox as the card remains to be very fast. The nice factory overclock makes the product come real close at reference GTX 680 performance levels (with a small offset here and there of course).
With prices hovering around the 400 EUR marker you need to be selective and careful in your decision making. The KFA2 GTX 670 EX OC simply offers a lot of performance in it's default setup and most of the tweaking has been done for you. Definitely a product we can recommend.

KFA2 GeForce GTX 760 EX OC review
In this article we review the KFA2 GeForce GTX 760 EX OC edition, this particular model comes with a dual-slot two cooling solution. That boils down to a silent product versus and more than excellent cooling performance. KFA2 offers the card factory slightly overclocked at some pretty impressive clock frequencies. Join us in this review and let's see if the 259 USD Gaming edition model will be worth it for you.
KFA2 GeForce GTX 770 EX OC review
In this review we take the KFA2 GeForce GTX 770 EX OC edition for a benchmarkin' test-drive. This model graphics card comes with a factory overclock and a new design cooler with dual 90mm fans. Overall the card is sitting in-between the GeForce GTX 680 and GeForce GTX 780 , 100% cool and 100% silent. We test the product with the hottest games like Metro: Last light, Battlefield 3, Sleeping Dogs, Far Cry 3, Medal of Honor Warfighter, Hitman Absolution and many more.

Obama Mulls Exec Orders on Gay Rights, Environment
(NEWSER) – If Congress won't move on President Obama's agenda, he may take further action—on mortgage refinancing, gay rights, and other issues—on his own. The process could begin this week with new cybersecurity rules for private firms in certain industries, including transportation, the Washington Post reports. Later, he could order private mortgage companies to allow low-interest refinancing for 11 million troubled homeowners, a move Republicans have opposed over tax concerns.
