Scott Brown had a great idea in 2012 when he ran for re-election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts. His opponent Elizabeth Warren agreed and together, they signed The People's Pledge to stop third party advertising in their campaign. That year, Brown encouraged "other candidates across the country to adopt similar agreements in their races to limit the impact of outside special interests."
I very much admired the People's Pledge. I believe it limited the influence of outside groups and allowed the people's voices to be heard. It allowed the candidates to make their best case and voters to decide, without third party advertising drowning them out.
What was a great idea in 2012 is still a great idea in 2014. That's why I've asked Scott Brown to sign the same pledge — his pledge — in this year's U.S. Senate campaign in New Hampshire. Brown is so far refusing to sign, saying it's too late, because third parties already have spent money on advertising in New Hampshire.
It's a phony argument. We are at a very similar moment in this race as when Brown and Warren signed the pledge in January 2012. Third parties already had spent more than $3 million in Massachusetts when Brown and Warren signed the pledge — almost twice as much as what's so far been spent in New Hampshire. In no small measure, that spending is what led to the Pledge. And Warren signed the pledge even though she still faced a Democratic primary months away.
Only a few weeks ago, Scott Brown enthusiastically embraced and endorsed his pledge again. "It worked," he said at Cornell University last month, and he was right then too.
The People's Pledge worked in many important ways.
Common Cause, an independent group aimed at protecting voter rights, examined the impact of The People's Pledge and found the pledge reduced outside spending, so-called "dark" or completely undisclosed money, and negative advertising, and increased public disclosure of contributors and the influence of smaller donors.
The facts in this independent study are clear. Outside spending made up only 9% of total spending in Massachusetts, compared to more than 60% in the next most expensive races in the country. Contributions of less than $200 outweighed contributions from big donors in the Massachusetts race by 3 to 1: $23.5 million compared to $8 million. In the next most expensive races, big donors outmuscled the small by more than 5 to 1: $135 million to $23.8 million. There was five times more "dark" money in the top spending states than there was in Massachusetts. Negative ads were barely 40% of the total in Massachusetts, compared to an average more than twice that: 84% in the other races.
The People's Pledge "imposed accountability on the race" and "candidates had to take responsibility for attacks lobbed at their opponents and couldn't hide behind third party groups" The Boston Globe concluded. The People's Pledge, they wrote, is "about preventing the state's next Senator from coming into office beholden to special interests that may or may not be known to voters." It "represented a commitment by both candidates to take ownership of their campaigns."
I am ready to make that commitment and have asked Scott Brown to do the same. As Governor and as a U.S. Senator, I've worked hard to put New Hampshire first and make a difference for the people I represent. The people of New Hampshire deserve candidates who will take ownership of their campaigns and an election where they can hear the candidates and decide who will best represent their interests.
When Scott Brown signed The People's Pledge in 2012, he said third parties "are not good for the process," and outside spending is "not good for the people of Massachusetts and they deserve better." I believe New Hampshire voters deserve better, and in that spirit, invite Scott Brown again to commit to the standard he set in Massachusetts.

Speedlab Wheels Time Flies Grey Skateboard Wheels - 60mm 98a (Set of 4)
It is going to be difficult to find more classic wheels than the Speedlab Time Flies Skateboard Wheels. These are the classic 60mm wheels made famous by countless rippers throughout the 80's. Grab a set and go rip up some ramps and ditches!
Note: Bearings not included.
Shop other Speedlab Wheels Skateboard Wheels from Warehouse Skateboards.
Skateboard wheels vary in color, size, and durability. Skateboard wheels are most commonly made of polyurethane. The diameter and durometer of the wheel affect the way the board rides. The diameter and durometer are a matter of personal preference and skating style.
Diameter is the size of the wheel when measured from top to bottom. All Skateboard wheels are measured in millimeters (mm). The smaller the number, the smaller the wheel. Smaller wheels are slower; bigger wheels are faster.
Durometer measures the wheel's hardness. Harder wheels are faster; softer wheels are slower but have better grip.
Skateboard wheel durometer is usually measured on a Durometer A Scale which goes from 1-100 to measure hardness. Some companies use the B Scale which measures 20 points lower, allowing the scale to be extended by 20 points for harder wheels. For instance, an 80b durometer is the same as 100a durometer. These skateboard wheels have a larger and more accurate range of hardness. The average wheel durometer is 99a.
Take a look at our insane amount of skateboard wheels currently in stock.

Chris asks
The Large Hadron Collider didn't cause the end of the world. But would the end of the world really be worse than one's own individual death? I mean, one reason why we dread death - if we do at all - is that we leave others behind, we don't' find out what happens next. But if we were to perish at the end of the world, these motives would be absent. What I'm asking is: could it be that death is partly a positional bad?The only thing I can think of to reply with is this video

I am a writer and historian with a special interest in the way historians are developing their uses of DNA testing.
I've been writing on this topic since the first DNA tests aimed at genealogists were launched back in 2000. Since that time I've published two books this subject, two academic papers and dozens of articles for family history magazines, and lectured directly to some fifty family history groups throughout England as well as abroad via online webinars, written, and been interviewed by many national and local radio stations.
From time to time I've also reviewed book proposals for a major UK publisher, acted as an anonymous reviewer for a leading mainsteam academic genetics journal, and created online surveys for family history groups to poll their members.
Today I maintain a consulting arrangement with Family Tree DNA — the world's #1 supplier of DNA tests to the family history community, based in Houston, TX — and I develop and teach several online courses on the topic of DNA testing for universities and private institutions both in Britain and overseas.
What I can do for you
I am available to lecture on DNA and family history, whether to family history groups on an individual basis or within formal academic courses on a modular or standalone basis.
I am available to consult on family history matters generally, including advising DNA project managers how to run their projects efficiently and family history groups generally how to survey their members, aas well as to write bespoke articles, blog posts and project reports.
I am also available for radio and tv interviews on all aspects of family history, including live two-ways and background research and briefings. I like to take a strategic view and am well placed to advise on tv and radio series' development.
This site contains details of my family history experience and interests. The headings above my photo detail my activities, those below are practical aspects that you can follow up yourself on the site. If you want to know more about me, click on my photo or here.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Four months after his bitter election defeat, a reflective Mitt Romney said it "kills" him not to be president and admitted mistakes were made in his losing White House campaign - particularly his failure to win over minority voters.
In his first television interview since November's loss to President Barack Obama, Romney leveled a fresh blast of criticism at Obama for failing to lead and putting politics ahead of results in the confrontation with congressional Republicans over the budget and spending cuts.
"It kills me not to be there, not to be in the White House doing what needs to be done," Romney said in an interview on the "Fox News Sunday" program, adding that Obama was still campaigning rather than bringing people together to craft a deal.
"I don't see that kind of leadership happening right now," the 2012 Republican presidential candidate said. "The hardest thing about losing is watching this critical moment, this golden moment slip away with politics."
Romney's interview was the first step in a slow public re-entry for the former Massachusetts governor, who has been largely secluded at his southern California home with his wife Ann since the November loss.
In two weeks, Romney will make his first public speech since the election, to a conference of conservative activists in Washington.
In the Fox interview, taped last week and aired on Sunday, Romney mostly avoided questions about the heavy criticism he has received from his fellow Republicans for running a lackluster and gaffe-prone campaign.
"I don't spend my life looking back," Romney said, adding he would not run again but he would still be active in public life.
He said he should have done a better job in appealing to minority voters including blacks and Hispanics, calling his failure "a real mistake."
Romney, who called for "self-deportation" of illegal immigrants during the Republican primaries, lost the vote of more than seven of every 10 Hispanics to Obama. Most of the illegal immigrants in the United States are Hispanics.
Romney also said he regretted his wording in secretly recorded remarks at a Florida fund-raiser about the "47 percent" of Americans who were dependent on government and would never vote for him.
"It's not what I meant. I didn't express myself as I wished I would have," Romney said.
"When you speak in private you don't spend as much time thinking about how something could be twisted and distorted, and it could come out wrong and be used," he said. "That hurt. There's no question that hurt and did real damage to my campaign."
Romney said he still planned to speak out on issues and to help Republicans going forward, although he said that "I recognize that as the guy who lost the election, I'm not in a position to tell everybody else how to win."
Romney said he was convinced he was headed to victory in November until early on election night, when he saw the first exit polls showing a tight race in Florida, where he expected to do well. By the time the "disappointing" results from Ohio began to come in he knew it was over, he said.
"It's hard. It's emotional. I mean, there was such passion in the people who were helping us. I just felt, you know, we have really let them down," he said.
Romney refused to criticize Republican Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey for praising Obama and joining the president on a tour of storm damage in the state one week before the election. Some Republicans have criticized Christie for giving a boost to Obama in the campaign's final days.
"Chris was doing what he thought was best for the people of his state," Romney said. "I lost my election because of my campaign, not because of what anybody else did."
Romney said he and his wife, who also participated in the interview, were spending more time with their grandchildren and slowly adjusting to life after a presidential campaign.
"We were on a roller coaster, exciting and thrilling, ups and downs," he said. "But the ride ends, and then you get off."
Ann Romney said she blamed the media for unfairly treating her husband. The portrayals of them as rich and out-of-touch kept the public from getting "to know Mitt for who he was."
While she shed tears after the loss, she said, "I'm mostly over it. But not completely."

'Walking' Soldier May Lose Insurance Claim.
Now this has made me angry.
Private Dave Tatlock is a soldier in the British Army, a couple of years ago he was blown up on active duty and told by his doctors he would never walk again. I suppose it was a good thing he took out special insurance with a company called Abacus before he went on tour in Afghanistan. The 25 grand he would get if he was injured on active service would certainly help.
If you happened to watch the Carling Cup Final earlier this season you may have seen this young chap as it was him who carried the cup onto the Wembley turf infront of 80,000 respectful supporters.
Seems though, that some eagle eyed mother-fucker from Abacus also clocked Pte. Tatlock walking on to the pitch that day, and as a result this anonymous piece of shit called up the rehab centre where he is learning to walk again to say that his insurance claim is being put under review because he has been seen walking. He/she didn't even have the guts to tell Pte Tatlock to his face.
Now, I am not against insurers (my best man is in the insurance trade – and he is a fine fellow!). But when a lifelong Manchester United fan is invited to Wembley as a small token of appreciation for what he has recently been through, and then is at risk of losing a big insurance payout because some little jobsworth low life thinks it is big and clever to try and stop the insurance claim – I think this is out of order.
Whoever you are little insurance person, you are nothing compared to Pte Tatlock. I hope you are proud of what you have done. Maybe a 6 month tour of the front line would wake you up to realities of what these guys have to go through..

The Library has teamed up with Flickr Commons, featuring several thousand of the library's archival photographs. The hope is that people will help tag them in order to provide collective data. Collections include "1930s-40s in Color," and "News in the 1910s."

Released by Reality Tea
The new season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians is set to premier this Sunday on the E! network, and if the video preview below is any indication of what is to come, we can be assured it will be a drama filled season!
In the sneak peek of the fourth season premiere of the hit show, we can see Khloe Kardashian angrily confronting Scott Disick, the boyfriend and father of Kourtney Kardashian's baby (due this month).
The argument begins when Khloe accuses Scott of purposely getting her sister pregnant so she wouldn't leave him. Kourtney and Scott reportedly broke up in January after she accused him of cheating but got back together after she learned she was expecting.
"You thought she was going to leave you, so that's why you knocked her up," Khloe screams at Scott. "You wanted to just keep her for 18 years and not let anyone else have her," continues Khloe. To which Scott shoots back, "18 years? I want her for eternity." Khloe then slaps Scott across the face.
All interesting, wonder how Khloe would feel if Kourtney ever decided to slap her husband, Lamar Odom, across his face. The new season will focus on the changes in the lives of the sisters. Khloe's new marriage, Kourntey's pregnancy, and Kim dealing with her break up from NFL player, Reggie Bush. The two reportedly got back together back in September.
The fourth season will premier Sunday, Dec. 13 at 10/9c, on E! The video sneak peak is below -

Pacific EMPRINTS project launches disaster preparedness websiteUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Anna Daddario, (808) 956-9504
Pacific EMPRINTS
HONOLULU — An emergency management program at UH Mānoa has unveiled a web-based series of disaster preparedness training and education courses for public health professionals in Hawaiʻi, California and the U.S.-affiliated Pacific islands.
Through a partnership with Yale University's School of Medicine, participants who enroll will receive continuing medical education (CME) credits for the online courses on bioterrorism and other public health threats.
The program, developed by the Pacific Emergency Management Preparedness and Response Information Network and Training Services (Pacific EMPRINTS), also features innovative online problem-based teaching cases that take the learner through mock scenarios for potential public health threats. It is the only program in the United States that offers this kind of problem-based training online. The website also includes simulated live training exercises and links to relevant news articles and additional online disaster preparedness resources.
"We are especially pleased that the training site will be updated continually to incorporate the most current information," said Ann Sakaguchi, principal investigator for Pacific EMPRINTS.

After such lofty hopes, American hockey has taken a beating at the Winter Olympics.
The slide culminated Saturday with a humilating loss to Finland on Satuday, the second-to-last day of the Sochi Games.
That put the Americans' out of contention to win the Winter Olympics medal race -- a disappointment after winning the most medals in Vancouver four years ago.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
Things might be different if the Americans had Vic Wild on their side. But he's winning golds for Russia now.
A U.S. bobsled team is the last American squad with a shot at a medal.
Here are Saturday's highlights.
Hockey agony
A couple days ago, the U.S. men's hockey team seemed to have a legitimate shot at a gold medal.
The team was stacked with National Hockey League stars in their prime.
Those dreams have been dashed, with the final blow coming Saturday, when the Americans lost 5-0 to Finland.
That defeat, in the bronze-medal consolation game, followed a 1-0 semifinals loss Friday to defending champion Canada. It left the U.S. off the podium completely.
With that, the Americans wasted a chance to earn medals in consecutive Olympic hockey tournaments for the first time since winning gold in 1960 and silver in 1956.
Bobsled hopes
The four-man bobsled remains the U.S.'s last hope for a final medal in Sochi.
The U.S. 1 sled, led by Steven Holcomb, part of the gold-winning team in Vancouver, ended Saturday a hundredth of a second behind the third-place German team. Russia is in the lead.
There are two more heats on Sunday that will decide the medals.
American wins snowboarding golds — for Russia
Saturday was a big day for American-born snowboard racer Vic Wild, who won his second gold medal.
But it's the Russians who benefited.
Wild is from Washington state but married a Russian snowboarder, moved to Moscow and joined his adopted country's Olympic team after a lack of support in the U.S.
That decision led to validation in Sochi, where he won the parallel giant slalom on Wednesday, and then the parallel slalom on Saturday.
His Saturday win was an upset of Austria's Benjamin Karl and drew praise from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who said Wild proved that "sports fate smiles on the most talented, driven and strongest in spirit," according to the Associated Press.
Ligety falls short in slalom
American Alpine skier Ted Ligety, who won gold in the giant slalom earlier this week, failed to medal in his final event in Sochi.
He didn't finish his second run in the men's slalom on Saturday after losing control and going off course.
The event was won by Mario Matt of Austria, who at 35 became the oldest Alpine champion in Olympic history.
Teammate Marcel Hirscher won silver, a one-two finish that gave the Austrians nine Alpine medals, a remarkable turnaround from Vancouver four years ago, when they won four.
The Americans, which won seven Alpine medals in Vancouver, finished with five in Sochi.
U.S. loses medal lead
America ended Saturday, the second-to-last day of the Sochi Games, with 27 total medals, nine of them gold.
That put the U.S. in second place in the overall standings, with no realistic chance of winning the final medal race.
Host Russia leads with 29 total medals, 11 of them gold.
Only Norway has as many golds as Russia. It is in third overall with 26 total medals.
There are only three eventsleft to be played on Sunday: The four-man bobsled, in which the Americans have a shot at a podium finish, the men's hockey finals, which does not include the U.S., and the men's cross country 50km free master start, where America is not considered a contender.

Visiting Vesuvius and PompeiiBy Rick Steves
As we've had to postpone our travels because of the pandemic, I believe a weekly dose of travel dreaming can be good medicine. Here's a reminder of the fun that awaits us in Europe at the other end of this crisis.
The ancient city of Pompeii — famously ruined in AD 79 when mighty Mount Vesuvius blew its top — is one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions. Few visitors make it to the top of the towering volcano, but those who do enjoy a commanding view.
You can get to Vesuvius with a train/bus/hike journey. You start by riding a rickety but reliable commuter train from Naples or Sorrento (because it circles under Vesuvius, the train is called the Circumvesuviana). From the Pompeii stop, a shuttle van takes you up the volcano to the end of the road. From there, it's a steep 30-minute hike to the desolate, lunar-like summit.
Belly up to the crater's edge. Steaming vents are a reminder that while Vesuvius is quiet today, it's just taking a geological nap. The last eruption was in 1944, and it's only a matter of when, not if, it will erupt again. Italian authorities close Vesuvius to visitors when they think the volcano is acting too frisky.
A hike around the crater's lip comes with spectacular vistas of Naples, its sweeping bay, and Pompeii. Be still. Listen to the wind and the occasional cascade of rocks tumbling into the crater. As you observe wisps of smoldering steam, imagine the scene nearly 2,000 years ago, when Vesuvius sent a mushroom cloud of ash, dust, and rocks 12 miles into the sky. For 18 hours straight, spewed ash settled like a heavy snow on Pompeii. Most of the city's 20,000 residents fled as roofs and floors began collapsing.
But then, suddenly, the eruption changed. A red-hot avalanche of rock and ash raced down the mountainside at nearly 100 miles per hour. Pompeii and the 2,000 unlucky souls who had stayed behind were buried, leaving their bodies encased in volcanic debris. As the bodies decomposed, they left hollow spaces. Centuries later, archaeologists detected these spaces and gently filled them with plaster, creating molds that chillingly capture their anguished last moments.
Today, ongoing excavations of once booming Pompeii offer the best look anywhere at ancient Roman life. Back then, Rome controlled the entire Mediterranean Sea, and Pompeii was an important, big port town. Not rich, not poor, Pompeii was middle class. And because it was a port, it was a sailor's quarter, with lots of bars, public baths, brothels, restaurants, and places of entertainment.
The best way to understand Pompeii is to walk the site; the entry fee is $15 (for a free audio tour of the site, see www.ricksteves.com/audioeurope). In good Roman style, the city was well organized, contained by its walls with a grid street plan. Back in antiquity, most of Pompeii's streets would have been lined with stalls and jammed with customers from sunup to sundown. Chariots vied with shoppers for street space.
There were no posh neighborhoods in Pompeii. The well-off and not-so-well-off mixed it up as elegant houses existed side by side with simpler homes. Pompeii's best-preserved dwelling is the House of the Vetti, the home of a wealthy merchant. If it's open, step into its atrium for a peek at the typical layout of a mansion. Richly frescoed entertainment rooms ring the central courtyard, where a formal garden surrounds a pool with water, meant to bring a feeling of freshness.
One of Pompeii's most impressive aspects is how abundant water was. In this well-plumbed city, lead pipes funneled water from an aqueduct-fed reservoir at the high end of town directly to neighborhood water tanks. With the tanks installed just below the level of the reservoir, gravity did the work — and ensured good water pressure. Fountains provided a social center at street intersections, and a steady stream of water flushed the chariot-rutted streets clean. Pompeii's citizens enjoyed relaxing at its impressive public baths.
For archaeologists, Pompeii was a shake-and-bake windfall. They first got to work at the site back in the 1700s — before Italy was united. The local king who ruled from Naples demanded: "Bring me the best of whatever you find!" That's why, as impressive as the ancient city is, the finest art and artifacts of Pompeii ended up back in Naples, at the National Museum of Archaeology.
For lovers of antiquity, this museum by itself makes Naples a worthwhile stop. Considering how important the collection is, it's remarkable how ramshackle the displays are. But look past the dust bunnies — the museum offers the best possible peek into the art of Pompeii. The collection ranges from grand statuary and exquisite mosaics to the most intimate details of everyday life. All the artifacts are a testament to the ultimate irony of Vesuvius: Even as the volcano's fury destroyed Pompeii, it also preserved most of what the world knows about this ancient town.

Policy scenarios
Using its Global Model, the OECD has carried out a number of simulations that examine the longer-term effects of different policies on economic growth, public finances and global imbalances. This exercise contributes to the G20 process by shedding light on the policy levers that can be used to promote strong, sustainable and balanced growth.
The simulations show that:
Comparison of the different policy scenarios shows that addressing global imbalances does not require any significant redistribution of world growth across countries/regions, but instead a rebalancing of the sources of growth within countries/regions.
Structural reform can do much to reduce global current-account imbalances
Index 2007 = 100
(Download the Excel file)
1. Fiscal consolidation including exchange rate response.
Note: A summary measure of global current account imbalances is constructed as an absolute sum of the current balances in each of the main trading countries or regions expressed as a share of world GDP. This is then converted to an index so that the pre-crisis level of imbalances in 2007 is equal to 100.

It's only polite to keep the people who funded this game up to date.
He should post a quick Kickstarter update stating this, to keep the KS Folks happy.

It's nice to be reminded that there are other ways to approach a situation sometimes. My question is a known hot topic around these parts. I expected some degree of inflammatory response, but I appreciate the result.
It *is* still somewhat concerning that the pattern of good behavior we'd seen up until May has fallen off a bit. A little slip is okay, but like the fan belt on an old car, too many little slips can be a big problem fast. (Josh's presence seems to still be here, but the official updates that were being posted for a few months dropped off Kickstarter -- which is a change. Not the worst change, but still a change and not for the better.)
Cheers all.

If you're ever broken down on the side of an American highway and a woman with a light meter around her neck stops her car and approaches you, don't be afraid. She's not there to rob or hurt you.
It's just Amy Stein, and all she wants to do is take your picture for her portrait series, Stranded. It might be a little awkward at first, but you'll quickly see she's chatty, friendly and not only carries a camera, but also a set of jumper cables, a jack, water and snacks.
For nearly a decade now, Stein has been traversing the country helping and photographing motorists. The project, as interesting as it is just as a concept, is not just about people stuck in shitty situations. Motorists for Stein are a stand-in for something larger.
"To me it's a metaphor for what's been happening across the country," she says.
The project was originally conceived back in 2005 right after Hurricane Katrina hit. At the time Stein was in graduate school and had been told by a professor that she should get down to New Orleans to document the event. But instead of trying to document things like everyone else, she came up with Stranded.
At the time she was working on another project that took her from her home in New York City to Pennsylvania several times a week. With Katrina floating around in her head, she started noticing stranded motorists and quickly made the comparison. Like the residents of New Orleans, these drivers were experiencing hardship and watching as the world zoomed by.
"It became about being left behind," she says.
Since Katrina, the project for Stein has grown to represent any number of situations facing the country. The recession, for example, with so many people sidetracked or flat-out ruined by job loss and foreclosures.
"I think there is this general post-Katrina malaise that continues to affect the country," she says.
Back in 2008 she thought the project might have been over with the election of President Obama because he was an enormous morale boost and everyone hoped for a quick economic recovery. When things didn't turn out quite as expected, the project went on.
For Stein, Stranded also relates to the isolation in people's private lives. That's why she carries water and other supplies – she doesn't want to exacerbate the drivers' vulnerability by taking their picture and leaving. She wants to help.
Driving for hours along desolate freeways without finding anyone to photograph gives Stein an empathy for her subjects. It can be downright depressing.
"It can become psychologically quite heavy," she says. "It zens you out in terms or trying to control the project."
The encounters are always unpredictable. In West Virginia Stein spotted a group of guys in orange climbing over the hill with guns while their friend stayed behind to fix the truck. The man doing the work — Gary — said his friends figured they might as well get some hunting in while they waited. He agreed to have his picture taken, but only if he could have his hunting mask on.
Then there was the time when Stein and her husband, who accompanies her sometimes, came upon on a broken-down work crew of federal inmates. The prison official said he didn't want to be in the picture, but the inmates agreed to be photographed if they could take their own picture of Stein with their phone cameras in return.
The most productive patch of road, Stein says, has to be the freeway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Packed with motorists, she's run into a lot of characters. What happens in Vegas seems to come out on the side of the highway when you're stranded.
Surprisingly, Stein says she's never felt endangered while shooting. She tries to judge the situation before stopping, but so far has had incredible luck. The biggest danger, she says, is the traffic zooming by. She shoots with a medium-format camera on a tripod so it takes a second to get set up and she's more exposed than if she were to just pull out a DSLR.
"Nothing has ever happened, and – knock on wood – I hope that nothing ever happens," she says.

I have been trying to otain few eigenvalues of a large system Ax=\lambda B x where A and B are large dense matrices.
As the starting I tried running the example programme sssimp.f given in the ARPACK website. I obtained the out put as given in the website http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/f_s ... output.txt
It says the final Ritz values are
Obviously these are not the eigenvalues I am looking for. These values are very large for eigenvalues of the problem. If I supply the same T matrix to Matlab, it gives a different set of eigenvalues.
As I understand (correct me, if I am wrong!), there is should be a way to transform, the computed Ritz value to the approximated eigenvalues. Can someone help?

LANDOVER, Md. — Robert Griffin III's concussion was on everyone's mind as he dropped back on a third-and-6, with the Washington Redskins trying to put the game away.
"I took off running and got to the sideline, thought about running out of bounds — because everyone's been telling me that lately," he said with a big smile. "And I felt like I had the guy outflanked, and then I just took off running. And the rest is history."
Not only did his 76-yard touchdown run put the game away, it also dismissed any thoughts that his first serious shot to the head as a pro was going to stop RG3 from being RG3.
The longest scoring run by an NFL quarterback in 16 years was part of his 138-yard rushing performance in the Redskins' 38-26 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
"When Robert gets in top gear, it's like watching a track meet," receiver Santana Moss said. "And he ain't coming in second."
The former college hurdler ran for two scores and threw for another as Washington (3-3) snapped its eight-game home losing streak.
The perennial doormats of the NFC East are becoming relevant again because they finally have a quarterback — a No. 2 overall draft pick able to use his arm and legs to pick apart the Vikings (4-2), who had won three straight and hadn't allowed more than 23 points this season.
After falling behind 9-0 early and being outgained 148-7, Washington responded with 24 straight points during a stretch in which it outgained Minnesota 225-14.
The Vikings made a game of it with two fourth-quarter touchdowns and were starting to use their timeouts, hoping to get the ball back when Griffin faced third-and-6 at his own 24.
Keep in mind that Griffin left the previous week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons when he was hit in the head while trying to get some extra yards on a scramble.
He passed the NFL's post-concussion tests and was cleared to play Sunday, but coaches and teammates hoped that he had learned a lesson about when to keep running and when to slide — or get out of bounds.
Accordingly, Griffin's second-by-second description of his teammates' reaction to his touchdown run is priceless.
"I could see guys telling me I got the first, so they were saying, 'Stay inbounds,"' Griffin said. "And then I was running like, 'I think I can get a little more.' And it all went from 'Stop, stay inbounds,' to 'Go! Go for the touchdown!"' Redskins head trainer Larry Hess ran alongside down the sideline — "the same 40 I was running," Griffin said. Tight ends coach Sean McVay told Griffin he felt "a gust of wind" as the rookie ran past. Fullback Darrel Young was chanting "R-G-3!" along with the crowd.
Griffin didn't stop until he took a seat on the front row, performing what is quickly becoming known as the "Landover Leap." He said he stayed longer than planned because the fans wouldn't let him leave.
It was the longest touchdown run by an NFL quarterback since Kordell Stewart scampered 80 yards for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Carolina Panthers in 1996, and Griffin's rushing total was the fifth highest for a quarterback in NFL history and the most since Michael Vick ran for 166 in 2006.
Griffin said he reined himself in somewhat in the wake of his concussion — he was cheered as he scrambled harmlessly out of bounds on a first-down play in the first quarter — but he again ran some option and finished with 13 carries, including six Redskins offensive plays in a row that included a 7-yard score.
"You try to play smart," Griffin said. "But stay aggressive."
He also drew penalties, one on a horse collar tackle and another for roughing-the-passer, one that was perhaps aided by the acting skills Griffin has acquired from doing his commercials. The official didn't throw the flag for Erin Henderson's slight shove until Griffin was on the ground making an appeal.
"He hit me good," said Griffin, laughing his way through the description. "Come on, man. It wasn't like a basketball flop. I sold it pretty well. I mean, the ball was clearly gone, guys. It was a great job of me and the ref being on the same page."
He can throw as well. He completed 17 of 22 passes with one touchdown and only his second interception of the season.
The Vikings, meanwhile, paid the price for promising possessions that fell four points short. Drives that got inside the 10 yielded field goals of 20, 27 and 27 yards in the first quarter.
"We've got to turn those 3s into 7," said Adrian Peterson, who ran for 79 yards but at times was limping on his sprained left ankle. "Today, it finally came back and bit us."
Notes: Christian Ponder went 35 for 52 for 352 yards with two TDs and two interceptions. He was also credited with a lost fumble when the ball slipped out of his hand to linebacker Lorenzo Alexander. ... Former Vikings safety Madieu Williams returned an interception 24 yards for Washington's fourth defensive touchdown of the year. The Redskins scored only 43 points off turnovers last year; they already have 49 this year. ... K Kai Forbath, making his Redskins debut, made a 50-yarder in his only FG attempt. ... Redskins S Jordan Pugh left the fourth quarter twice with a head injury. The Redskins say he was cleared to return after the first injury, then was diagnosed with a concussion after the second one.

Wine Pairing of the Week: Sweet Wine and BBQ Potato Chips
We help you pick wine to drink with the food you eat.
Barbecue potato chips are such classic American junk food: they're cheap, crisp, and sweet. You probably usually wash each greasy handful down with a soda or a beer, but the slight sweetness in this snack makes it an excellent partner for slightly sweet or fruity wines.
Wine snobs may look down upon big brand Shiraz and and White Zinfandel, but these wines can actually work quite well with some classic unhealthy American foods. Because they have some residual sugar left over from alcoholic fermentation, they can balance the sweetness in our carbohydrate-heavy favorites. You may not think this through every time you reach for a big fruity red wine to go with a burger, but the sugar in the bun and ketchup goes well with a slightly jammy wine. Dry wine can taste bitter when paired a sweet food, but if both the wine and the food have some sweetness, they will seem more balanced together.
So let's have a little fun: what wine is best with barbecue chips?
Think Pink
Instead of your grandmother's white zinfandel, try the Dostert 'Rosay' Rosé. Made in Germany from an ancient and rare grape, roter elbling, the Rosay has a cotton candy pink color and a bright, fresh strawberry flavor, with a hint of sweetness on the front of the tongue. ($8-$12, find this wine)
Be Brave
Luscious with ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit, The Brave Shiraz 2008 isn't afraid of its bold Aussie roots. Despite its richness, this wine has a lively acidity that makes it easy to sip on. A long finish of sweet spice pairs perfectly with the chips. ($15-$20, find this wine)
Play with Port
Perhaps this is a bit off the beaten path, but the best wine pairing for barbecue chips that I've tried is tawny port such as Quinta do Infantado Tawny. Trust me on this one: Tawny port is an oxidized and fortified wine with a distinct nuttiness and rich, full body, and it's awesome with barbecue chips. The fortification process halts fermentation while some sugar remains (but tawny ports tend to be less sweet than ruby ports.) The added alcohol does make these wines is a bit heavy, so one glass is probably enough. But you should probably slow down with those chips anyway. ($13-$18, find this wine)

Came across this article about Marbury in Newsday:
Marbury should be an effective player for the Celtics. He should give them more scoring off the bench, when Ray Allen needs a breather, and another penetrating guard for those drive-and-kicks that Rajon Rondo has mastered. But the most noticeable issue with Marbury is, after sitting out for over a year, his trademark first step isn't what it used to be (and the second one is even less explosive). Perhaps more concerning for Rivers than anything Marbury is showing physically is what you see from him mentally. He looks like he's trying too hard. Hesitating. Second-guessing.
I felt that Marbury was coming around. He had developed some chemistry with Eddie House and was starting to pile up the assists (averaging about 4.5 apg in his final six games).
The shot has not been there consistently. He's just 1-6 from the field in the playoffs with a combined -19 +/-.
Maybe its rust, maybe its a problem establishing a rhythm off the bench. Your thoughts?

Our media is so poor, so dumb, so ignorant, so insanely out of it, that they make Bill Ayers look like the sane guy in the room. Jebus.
Now if you watch this thing it's clear that Ayers is still a radical, a Boomer radical, i.e. a tenured professor radical who isn't really getting his hands dirty or is that hardcore nowadays. He's pretty pathetic in my mind. He only sees the evil of the Vietnam War but not of the Weathermen. That's straight up crazy and disgusting in my view, but he's up front about it, so you can't fault the guy for lying or hiding something.
But there's nothing else to it. Those are his views and we learn yet again (for anyone who had a brain) that there was no secret relationship between Ayers and Obama. And this is the really bizarre part of this whole thing, I've never grasped. If you listen to the discussion (particularly the first couple minutes) a couple of things are clear:
Then State Senator Alice Palmer asked Ayers to host a coffee in his host which he did as he later says WITHOUT HAVING MET Obama. i.e. What is clear is that this is local machine party politics and he knew the State Senator, was a support of the Democrats in the area, never met the guy, and held a little thing for him. Obviously Obama is a young guy and is just following along the machine.
The key line is "I knew about as well as thousands of other Chicagoans. (my emphasis)."
The notion about Ayers describing himself as a "family friend" which the interviewer (Chris Cuomo) not being able to read English I suppose can't understand (after having it explained to him) refers to a word used in Ayers' new afterword to his book (don't think Billy isn't cashing in on this). Ayers clearly explains "family friend" is how OTHER people ("the blogosphere" in his words) characterized the relationship. i.e. NOT HIS OWN CHARACTERIZATION. Not how he Ayers would define the connection (nor of course Obama). Ayers says the relationship was Professional and Public.
i.e. Professional meaning not about Ayers' views–since Obama was there to work on a board with him and a whole mess of other people and Obama has shown no inkling to being drawn to the radical-militancy of an Ayers. And PUBLIC meaning not about secret meetings (i.e. they were public). Not friends. Not mentor. Not influence. Nada.
Which is exactly what Obama said all along. Wow. No, it can't be. There must be some hidden secret agenda. Somebody tell Sarah Palin.
This again goes back to the strange decision the right had to go the David Freddoso line of attack or the Jerome Corsi conspiracy mongering line. What you could criticize in this whole thing if you were a Republican/conservative is that it clearly shows that Obama was a Chicago-Democratic machine city pol. That is the Freddoso line of attack. But it was clear by this past summer, certainly after Clinton failed to make any hay on Ayers and/or Rezko in the Dem primary that such a line wasn't going to be enough. So out came the Corsi conspiracy stuff. The dark suspicions and all the rest. Obama couldn't say anymore because there wasn't anymore to say, and if he made something up to as it were Come Clean, then he would have been retroactively accused of lying. And since there wasn't actually anything else to say, then it was perfectly fertile ground for fetid projections from the wingnuts.
I'm sure glad all that time was spent on this oh so important issue. I mean anybody who follows politics knows how this works. An eager beaver like Obama is not going to spend capital in his early days of climbing the ladder on some wacko like Ayers who has been accepted back into the left-wing Dem circles of Chicago. The issue for the purity patrol types is that he didn't stand up and refuse contact with him, so that he (Obama) wouldn't get contaminated on the patriotic front. But here I think Ayers' point about the desipcable nature of actions during the Vietnam War has a partial validity. Namely God knows any Republican candidate has associations in the past (particularly in the Military Industrial Complex, hello McCain) that have violence in their past. Welcome to America people. The real issue is not the violence per se, it's the radical side to Ayers. It's that he criticized the government that sends some folks into a lather. If it was violence that was the issue (or generaly wingnuttery, hello conservative movement) there's enough of that to go around.
What the McCain Campaign and assorted elements on the right in the campaign did that I could never understand was not grasp that Obama wasn't that kinda liberal. He moved through those circles, he had to play the game. He had to move up the ranks through that world. No doubt about that fact. But the guy is like a super-America lover. It's a love based in a certain vision of what America represents.
That is to quote Obama:
"It was a Creed written into the Founding Documents, Yes We Can."
That's definitely one view of the Founding Documents or the reason to love America. There are others. Some that could help balance out the blindspots in Obama's vision of America. e.g. Maybe the Founding Documents were written because "NO WE CAN'T."
NO WE CAN'T as a people be trusted except under the rule of law (see Bush and Torture). NO WE CAN'T rely on democratic procedures alone to protect civil rights (see California and Prop 8's failure).
But that aside this guy wasn't Dukakkis or Gore or Kerry. Much less Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. The GOP embraced that argument at the cost of some serious long term peril for the party. [I think they were bound to lose anyway, but they could have lost without appearing so F'in Insane].
The Sarah Palin-ites of the right wing had been sold those lines for years as a sorta cynical ploy by the elite in the GOP, except they believe it and have called the upper crusts on it and have in many ways relativized them. [Goodbye Northeast to GOP]. Palin and likeminded individuals didn't get the memo that it was a kinda wink-wink nudge nudge line of attack. They want their pound of political flesh for those who are politically impure, presidential or otherwise. And so the GOP sinks further into bat shit insanity. Leaving us with the pathetic Democratic Party and the even worse whiny/bitchy sides of the progressive blogosphere (bleh and double bleh).
Fortunately yours truly has always been impressed that Obama has a history of dealing with and at times playing the left (see above), so I take some comfort in the fact that I voted for the guy principally because I trusted his instincts, not because he was going to heal the planet or whatever crap he had to say to get elected and get a bunch of looney self-impressed folk to sing songs or cry or think the universe is heading up in light because of his ASCENSION no less to power. [Hint: By linking to the Ascension of Jesus I'm mocking all this; I don't secretly think Obama is the Second Coming or for his Jewish devotees I suppose The First Coming]. Since he know has to deal with the nutty left, his background has served him well in that regard.

An Orange County lawmaker wants to shake up the way districts across the state make cuts when budget time rolls around.
State Sen. Bob Huff (R) 29th District and Vice-Chair of the Senate Education Committee introduced an education reform bill that promotes quality over seniority.
SB 355 would allow schools to make staffing decisions based on teacher performance, not simply follow a policy of "Last In, First Out."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"You won't find the luxury of seniority protection in the private sector and we shouldn't apply such an ineffective policy to an important profession like teaching," Huff said in a news release issued Monday. "This is a policy that hurts children since they should be given the opportunity to study with the best teacher possible."
The idea of keeping quality teachers is nothing new to school districts according to San Diego Education Association President Bill Freeman.
San Diego has a very good performance evaluation system currently according to Freeman.
"The system is there, the system works," he said. "The idea of tenure protecting poor teachers is a misnomer."
However, Freeman said that SB 355 is evidence of a growing sentiment, a "witchhunt "as he called it, with lawmakers jumping on the bandwagon to attack teachers.
"With all this stuff, this scapegoating of teachers, they are hurting the profession," he said.
"The fix that is needed is adequate funding," Freeman said.

Big Blue's is in the process of revealing its Dynamic Infrastructure, an IT infrastructure package presented as being lean, mean and green.
Customers can lower costs, improve services and reduce risks, so CIOs and CFOs better get their corporate chequebooks out and start buying now, although some of these things are futures.
IBM has announced a gigantic raft of things under the DI tagline. We've looked at DI's server aspect, some of the networking, and here is the storage part of what IBM calls its "highly optimized, agile, responsive, and automated" IT infrastructure.
The mid-range DS5000 array gets encrypting disks and 8Gbit/s Fibre Channel links. Storage capacity goes up with support for 448 hard drives (DS5300). This is IBM's OEM'ing of the uprated LSI Engenio 7900 array. The system has key management support built in and integrates with Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager.
There is a new version of IBM's TotalStorage Productivity Center, now renamed Tivoli Storage Productivity Centre v4.1, with performance analytics technology to identify hot spots for problem determination. IBM says it also has quick tuning to improve performance and storage utilisation. TSPC supports more third-party storage products, including Hitachi, NetApp, and EMC, alongside IBM's own XIV, DS, and (NetApp-sourced) N series, with better reporting and security features for multi-vendor storage environments.
They have also announced Tivoli Storage Manager 6 with Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) for Windows and Tivoli Storage Manager 6 for SharePoint. The SharePoint version helps customers restore their SharePoint business data and content after almost any kind of business interruption. It also has a faster backup capability.
There is also the Tivoli Storage Productivity Centre for Replication product.
Also on the cards is an announcement on the IBM System Storage TS7650 ProtecTIER Deduplication product with IP-based replication capabilities. This will replicate deduplicated backup data on virtual tape cartridges to a remote location.
Finally, IBM has revealed a fast recovery system for Exchange and SQL Server customers. It's a bundle including Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack, System x servers and DS3000/DS4000/DS5000 series disk arrays.
This is beginning to look like a set of point announcements that happen to have occurred at the same time and so get to be wrapped in the DI moniker.
Another referred to thin clients, IBM said its Virtual Storage Optimizer creates new desktop images in minutes, meaning reductions of up to 75 per cent in the time required to create and deploy new virtual machines.
One more announcement said Softek Replicator/TDMF (IP) for Windows v3.1 now enables clients to non-disruptively migrate Windows data to thinly provisioned storage volumes such as those provisioned by IBM's SAN Volume Controller storage, XIV Storage System, and DS8000 Disk Storage.
In a fuzzy statement of direction, IBM said its researchers identified three areas where flash memory solid state storage could be useful: speeding up applications, including flash in its storage architecture, and advanced solid state technology, which is a tad circular. El Reg thinks IBM means to say that it is going to bring out advanced Fusion-IO-type PCIe flash for servers and embedded servers, meaning storage controllers such as the SAN Volume Controller (SVC). The DS5000, mentioned above, does not include SSD capabilities.
IBM said in a presentation that small SSD investments can pay big dividends, mentioning Smart Data Placement benchmarks. This is not explained - searching for "Smart Data Placement" on IBM's web site doesn't return a single hit on that search string - but we reckon it refers to placing data on the right memory tier for the best balance between cost and performance. That is what Sun is aiming to do in principle with separate read and write flash memory caches for system and application working set data in its servers.
Returning to networking, although IBM has buddied up to Brocade, it wants us to know that it is also working, still working that is, with both Juniper and Cisco, described as a long-term strategic networking supplier. In February, IBM and Juniper demonstrated hybrid public-private cloud capabilities and the two are exploring opportunities to expand their relationship. Juniper reckons it has massive switches for internet service providers and the like that Brocade' Foundry boxes are simply no match for.
Within this broad and disparate set of storage and networking announcements, all lashed together under the Dynamic Infrastructure tag, we can see the formation of IBM's response to Cisco alongside a whole raft of minor product refreshes.
The DS5000 8Gbit/s support will be generally available on June 5th, with encryption support GA'ing on August 21st. ®

Why are men saved?
"Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake." Psalm 106:8
suggested further reading: 1 Peter 1:1, 2
Jesus Christ is the Saviour; but not more so than God the Father, or God the Holy Spirit. Some persons who are ignorant of the system of divine truth think of God the Father as being a great being full of wrath, and anger, and justice, but having no love, they think of God the Spirit perhaps as a mere influence proceeding from the Father and the Son. Now, nothing can be more incorrect than such opinions. It is true the Son redeems me, but then the Father gave the Son to die for me, and the Father chose me in the everlasting election of his grace. The Father blots out my sin; the Father accepts me and adopts me into his family through Christ. The Son could not save without the Father any more than the Father without the Son; and as for the Holy Spirit, if the Son redeems, do you not know that the Holy Spirit regenerates? It is he that makes us new creatures in Christ, who "begets us again unto a lively hope," who purifies our soul, who sanctifies our spirit, and who, at last, presents us spotless and faultless before the throne of the Most High, accepted in the beloved. When you say, "Saviour," remember there is a Trinity in that word—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, this Saviour being three persons under one name. You cannot be saved by the Son without the Father, nor by the Father without the Son, nor by Father and Son without the Spirit. But as they are one in creation, so are they one in salvation, working together in one God for our salvation, and unto that God be glory everlasting, world without end. Amen.
for meditation: We are to be baptised in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19) in acknowledgement of the fact that all three persons of the Trinity have accomplished our salvation.

DevilRobbber Steals from Unsuspecting Users in Every Sense of the Word
DevilRobbber Steals from Unsuspecting Users in Every Sense of the Word
According to Sophos, there is a Mac OS X malware named DevilRobber that's found embedded in pirated copies of image editing software Graphic Converter. After infecting the Mac system, it attempts to steal personal information by taking screen captures and logging usernames and passwords.
Besides prying private information, DevilRobber tries to generate Bitcoins, the currency of the anonymous digital cash system, by stealing lots of GPU processing time. GPUs are much better than regular CPUs at performing the mathematical calculations required for Bitcoin mining. To complete its attack on the Mac system, DevilRobbber also attempts to empty any Bitcoin coffers found on the system.
Mac OS X users are protected against this malware as long as they have updated their virus protection and have not installed any pirated copies of Graphic Converter. They are also advised to refrain from using software from untrusted sources, and use a malware scanner with updated definition files to protect their systems. Naturally, Sophos recommends using its free solution for non-commercial users, Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition.
