Best SUV AWD out there
By ebworthen on Thursday, August 29, 2019This is a beautiful vehicle. Do you want to spend $37,000 for a Honda or Toyota? Go ahead. I got my loaded AWD Outlander with Leather, Sunroof, etc., etc. for $27K. 10 year 100,000 mile warranty, made in Japan quality. Smooth ride, high quality, great sound system, tons of room, 36 MPG on my mixed city/highway commute. Notice the difference between KBB ratings and OWNER ratings. Why? KBB, Edmunds, Consumer Reports - they rate based on perception, not reality. Look at the Ketchup bottle at a restaurant, the plastic bottle is colored red. Why? To give you the perception that it is always full. Same thing with the hive mind. Come out of the shadows and the cave.

Big Space, Great Value, So Reliable
By Skipper on Wednesday, August 28, 2019We bought our Outlander from Avis Car Sales. We've had it for two years. Besides regular oil changes, we have not spent one penny on any thing! We love Toyotas but this was so much cheaper than the Highlander or even the Rav4 and is just as reliable. We've carried seven people in it numerous times. We've also carried 8 suitcases, four carry-on bags, and lots of baby equipment. The engine is a very clever 4 cylinder mated to a CVT. It is smooth and the mileage is great though acceleration is limited. Brakes have been very reliable. It's small on the outside, big on the inside. Will probably go right back to Avis for out next car -- another Outlander!

THANK YOU! Campaign officially over but site will remain open to take donations through the playoffs!
November 02, 2017
BENEFITING: Patriot Football Foundation
"We Are One" Fund!
Attend any Liberty Football game and you will witness the culture of "We Are One" through visual symbols, chants from the crowd, and the warmth and love made visible through the interactions of players, coaches and fans.
Where does "We Are One" come from? Well, it starts in the Mission Statement of Liberty Football- "To unlock the greatness in the players we coach and launch them into becoming adults of action who lead with empathy and integrity". Coach Valach chose the South African philosophy of "UBUNTU" to bring this mission statement to life. Ubuntu means "I am because we are." More simply stated, "We Are One".
This philosophy has been embraced by our community in the formation of the Liberty Junior Football and Cheer program, beginning its 3rd season this fall. These programs are rooted in the mission, vision and values of the Liberty High School Football program and extends the culture of "We Are One" to hundreds of families in our community.
The Patriot Football Foundation was formed to support the mission of the Liberty Football Program and to raise funds and financially support the Liberty Football program (High School) and the Liberty Junior Football/Junior Cheer program (youth ages 7-14) .
To continue our work, we need financial support from those who care about Liberty Football at the youth and high school levels and believe in the mission of the program!
Reaching our goal of $45,000 will allow us to meet our financial needs for 2017. If every player in our high school and youth program commits to raising or donating at least $250 per person, we will meet or exceed our goal (that's only 10 friends or family members donating $25 each)!
Where will the money go?
Your generous donations will help fund BOTH the High School and Youth programs in the following areas and beyond:
- Equipment maintenance and replacement for the high school program.
- $235 buys one Xenith helmet.
- $150 buys one Tag Pulse shoulder pad.
- $325 buys one tackling wheel (We would love three more for the high school and one for each of the junior teams!)
- Coaches clinics and coaching tools- For high school and youth coaches (where applicable).
- $300 will buy training and continuing education for one coach for one year.
- $5,000 annually buys Atavus shoulder tackling training for our coaches so they can learn to teach tackling in a safer way.
- $1,200 annually allows our coaches access to Hudl so they can view and teach from the sideline and game film.
- $400 buys an iPad for coaches use and player teaching.
- Equipment for the youth program.
- $150 buys one junior Xenith helmet.
- $300 is the cost to outfit one junior player.
- Field costs for the youth program.
- $13,500 annually with costs rising every year. This amount ONLY covers 9 games and 40 practices.
- Players training and camps.
- $150 allows one high school player to participate in summer conditioning.
- $150 allows one youth player to participate in summer conditioning.
-$290 sends one high school player to Team Camp.
- $100 send one youth player to Rising Stars Camp.
-Team Events
- It costs $1,500 per year for 5th Quarter food.
- Team building outings for our High School players.
- We Are One Community BBQ
- Patriot Buddies Program
- Mt. Si Hike
- Scholarships
- So every youth athlete in our community can play football regardless of ability to pay.
- So youth and high school players can attend training camps regardless of ability to pay.
- So we can offer a Liberty Football Foundation Scholarship to eligible players heading off to college.
Please give generously and pass it on :-)
The true measure of success for the Patriot Football Foundation is not in wins or losses. It is measured by the number of lives we touch and the love and community we build. Football is our sport, UBUNTU is our mission! We'd love for you to join us!
**The Patriot Football Foundation supports the Liberty Junior Cheer program and does not support, nor is it affiliated with, the Liberty High School Cheer program.

Sarai Sierra: Family of Missing New York Woman Heading to Turkey to Help Search
Sarai Sierra was traveling alone in Turkey and never made her flight home.
Jan. 27, 2013 -- The husband and brother of a New York City woman who vanished in Turkey on her first solo trip overseas are heading to the country to assist in the search.
Sarai Sierra, 33, was supposed to arrive back in the United States on Jan. 22, but she never showed up for her flight home, her family said.
Sarai's husband, Steven Sierra, and her brother, David Jimenez, are scheduled to arrive in the country Monday afternoon and plan to meet with local officials and media to help bolster the search.
Sierra, who is an avid photographer, went ahead with the Jan. 7 trip after a friend had to cancel, Norman said.
Throughout her journey, Sierra kept in contact with her family.
"It was her first time outside of the United States, and every day while she was there she pretty much kept in contact with us, letting us know what she was up to, where she was going, whether it be through texting or whether it be through video chat, she was touching base with us," Steven Sierra said.
But when it came time to pick her up from Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, Sarai Sierra wasn't on board her scheduled flight.
Steven Sierra called United Airlines and was told his wife had never boarded the flight home.
Further investigation revealed she had left her passport, clothes, phone chargers and medical cards in her room at a hostel in Beyoglu, Turkey, he said.
The family is suspicious and said it is completely out of character for the happily married mother of 11-year-old and 9-year-old sons, who met her husband in a church youth group, to disappear.
The U.S. Embassy in Turkey and the Turkish National Police are involved in the investigation, WABC reported.
"They've been keeping us posted, from my understanding they've been looking into hospitals and sending out word to police stations over there," Steven Sierra said. "Maybe she's, you know, locked up, so they are doing what they can."

Not long ago, Trent Richardson was viewed as a cornerstone for Cleveland's future.
On Wednesday, he became part of its recent inglorious past.
The Browns traded the powerful running back to Indianapolis in a stunning move just two games into the season and one year after drafting Richardson in the first round.
The trade was first reported ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The team's new front office dealt Richardson for a first-round draft pick next year, when the team will have two opening-round selections and 10 overall. Cleveland is rebuilding again and the team hopes to use those picks — seven in the first four rounds — to help turn around a floundering franchise.
Such a reversal was what the Browns had in mind when they took Richardson with the No. 3 overall pick in 2011. The former Alabama standout seemed to have it all: power, speed and good hands.
But Richardson wasn't the kind of back Cleveland's front office wants or apparently suited first-year coach Rob Chudzinski's offense. Richardson, who rushed for 950 yards as a rookie despite playing most of last season with two broken ribs, gained just 105 yards on 31 carries in Cleveland's two losses this season.
He lacked the explosiveness the Browns' new regime was looking for, and it may not have helped that Richardson made it clear he wanted the ball more.
However, Browns CEO Joe Banner said there was nothing negative about Richardson and the team simply seized an opportunity to improve. And the Colts have been looking for a back since Vick Ballard suffered a season-ending knee injury.
Colts owner Jim Irsay tweeted his excitement about the trade.
Building a MONSTER for the BEST fans in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was more about the moment presented itself," Banner said, "and based on the situation the Colts found themselves in, it wasn't something where we could say, `Can you wait three weeks to think about this or learn more?' We thought it was a move to make us better and we had to make that decision now. We decided to move forward."
Banner said the Browns' first conversation with Indianapolis about a deal for Richardson was Tuesday.
The shocking trade — easily the biggest in Cleveland's expansion era and one of the most significant since the Browns joined the NFL in 1950 — came on the same day Chudzinski announced third-string quarterback Brian Hoyer will start Sunday against Minnesota. Hoyer got the surprising nod over backup Jason Campbell to fill in for starter Brandon Weeden, who is sidelined with a sprained right thumb.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Richardson joins defensive lineman John Matuszak as the only players since the NFL merger to be drafted within the top three, play their first season with the team that drafted them, and then play for another team the following season.
The double whammy floored many Browns fans, leaving some to wonder if the team was giving up on this season.
Banner denied that and said he understands the fans' suspicions.
"We have to earn their belief and trust in the decisions we're going to make as a group," he said. "I don't expect them to trust that until we prove that the trust is well placed. So, I understand the skepticism for now. We have to do what we think is right, move the franchise forward and get it to where we want it to be."
Chudzinski isn't worried about any negative backlash from his players, who had left the facility when the trade was announced.
"That's football," said Chudzinski, adding he reached out to the team's captains. "You deal with those things whether they are injuries or a trade. I believe in this group and I believe the next guy will step up and we will find a way and do what we need to do to win."
Like Richardson, Weeden's days could be numbered with the Browns, who have started 19 quarterbacks since 1999 and are still looking for the right one. Next year's draft class includes several top-flight QBs and the Browns could be loading up on high picks to make sure they get a good one.
Banner, though, said the Browns aren't angling toward any particular position or player.
"I don't want to tip our hands on what we're going to do or prioritize in doing, but I think it puts us in a very good position to have made some real progress with the team in this offseason to be in very good cap shape going into next season," he said.
The Browns are brutally thin at running back after trading Richardson and losing Dion Lewis and Montario Hardesty to season-ending injuries. Chris Ogbonnaya and Bobby Rainey are the only backs on the roster.
The team is bringing in free-agent running back Willis McGahee for a physical and will sign him if he passes the examination. A two-time Pro Bowler, McGahee rushed for 731 yards in 10 games for the Broncos last season and has gained 8,097 in his nine-year career.
Richardson has been slowed by injuries since he was taken after Luck and Robert Griffin III last year.
His college coach, Nick Saban, wished him well with the Colts.
"Hopefully this is going to be a great situation and circumstance for him, so that he can have more success, and be a good player for a long time," Saban said. "The guy was a fantastic player here. We never had anybody who contributed more to the team in terms of how he played and how he affected other people."
Before the deal, Richardson spoke to Minnesota reporters on a conference call about the expectations that come with being such a high draft pick.
"I think people make it more pressure than what it is," he said. "I just like to play football. At the end of the day, I'm going to play football like I've always been coached. The way I've always played. I'm going to be physical, fast, I'm going to be up-tempo."
And he's going to do so in a new uniform.

If you have a worksheet with data in columns that you want to rotate so it's rearranged in rows, you can use the Transpose feature. It lets you quickly switch data from columns to rows, or vice versa.For example, if your data looks like this, with sales regions listed along the top and quarters along the left side:
You can rotate the columns and rows to show quarters along the top and regions along the side, like this:
Here's how:
- Select the range of data you want to rearrange, including any row or column labels, and press Ctrl+C.
Note: Make sure you copy the data to do this. Using the Cut command or Ctrl+X won't work.
- Right-click the first cell where you want to paste the data, and pick Transpose .Pick a spot in the worksheet that has enough room to paste your data. The data you copied will overwrite any data that's already there.
- After rotating the data successfully, you can delete the original data.
- If your data includes formulas, Excel automatically updates them to match the new placement. Verify these formulas use absolute references—if they don't, you can switch between relative, absolute, and mixed references before you rotate the data.
- If your data is in an Excel table, the Transpose feature won't be available. You can convert the table to a range first, or you can use the TRANSPOSE function to rotate the rows and columns.
- If you want to rotate your data frequently to view it from different angles, consider creating a PivotTable so you can quickly pivot your data by dragging fields from the Rows area to the Columns area (or vice versa) in the PivotTable Field List.

Facebook likes to talk about privacy, but the truth is the site is all about revealing yourself.
A new app, however, may take Facebook's hey-look-at-me culture one step too far.
It's called "Photo Tagger," from a company called Face.com. It uses amazing photo recognition technology to take your uploaded photos, go out to the Web, and identify them through "tags."
That in itself doesn't sound all that bad, but when we tried this in the newsroom, it scared the crap out of just about everybody with a Facebook account. Here's why: While it's a convenient way to tag photos you may have just uploaded as an album onto your Facebook page, it can quickly and accurately identify someone who may not know they're in your album, or who may not be a friend of yours.
The only mistakes we saw were when someone was ID'ed, but it was actually their twin brother or sister. That in itself unsettled a few of our test subjects.
Understandably, this has been creeping out many of the women I work with. Now, to Face.com's credit, the app asks the Facebook member if he or she wants to be tagged, and they can opt not to. You can adjust your "privacy" settings on the site. You can also visit websites that specialize in keeping you (and your kids) safe, like GoMcGruff.com (you, know, the Crime Dog). But again, once you're on Facebook, do you really have any more privacy?
Face.com's CEO Gil Hirsch, talking to us from Tel Aviv Israel, where the company is based, explained that his company's technology helps to solve the problem of identifying people whose faces are not facing the camera (or are out of focus) when you take a picture, and are therefore harder to tag.
He says the point of "Photo Tagger" is not to stalk people, but rather to better identify people who are OK with you putting pictures of them onto your Facebook photo albums.
In a social networking landscape where being recognized is currency, this new app could actually bring you more credit for your work. It will make it easier for you to be seen, and identified. But that's also the point of the concern.
How often have you been "friended" by someone you don't know? This will likely increase that. If you social network, folks, your stuff is on the 'net, and will be seen by others. They don't call it the World Wide Web for nothing. Use "Photo Tagger" if you'd like. The technology is pretty cool. You just have to get over the fact that being recognized is easier than ever.

Need your help! Please.
I did some exercises. It's binary numbers.
But the problem is that i don't know if it's
right. Maybe there are some mistakes and it
would be perfect if somebody could look through and
correct them. Thanks in advance.
Here are my answers:
b. Make the following calculations with 8 bit numbers. Show carries and indicate whether an overflow occurred.
+ 00011101
bold = overflow
first: 01001001 overflow
second: 10001000 overflow
third: A+B = 15; 3+F+1=13 => 1354 => 30910
d. In a base 4 number system, we have the digits 0,1,2 and 3. Convert the base-4 number 323104 to decimal, octal and hex. How many bits do we need to store the value in memory on a digital computer ( hint: convert to binary)
94810 = 11101101002
10 digits = we need 10 bits to store it
(here i didn't manage to do octal and hex )

It looks like a concept—in fact, the only pictures we have of it are fancy 3D renderings doctored up in Photoshop. But according to the press release (after the jump), MediaStreet's 1GB eMotion solar-powered portable media player is already shipping for $169.

A Vivid display of colour illuminates Sydney
It's certainly the festival that grew and it's hard to believe that Vivid Sydney is right now celebrating its 10th anniversary
It's grown into Sydney's biggest party after New Year's Eve.
"Nearly 38,000 visitors to Vivid Sydney last year chose to extend their stay in NSW and travel beyond the fringes of Sydney, staying more than 94,000 nights and injecting over $16 million into the State's regional economy," said NSW Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall.
The lightshow is no longer confined to the Opera House and Circular Quay areas as in the earlier incarnations.
In the immediate area, there's also the Vivid Light Walk, which stretches along the harbour foreshore from the Royal Botanic Gardens, via Circular Quay, under the southern end of the Harbour Bridge, around to Walsh Bay.
The Customs House, a perennial favourite, especially with children, returns this year and the Botanic Gardens is certainly destined to become another favourite with youngsters.
Other precincts around the water are Darling Harbour and Luna Park.
Outside the CBD, Vivid has spread its colourful tentacles to Kings Cross, Taronga Park and Chatswood.
Vivid has grown into the world's largest festival of light, music and ideas, and will illuminate the city until June 16.

[The Last Confederate General: John C. Vaughn and His East Tennessee Cavalry by Charles Larry Gordon (Zenith Press, 2009). Hardcover, 7 maps, appendices, notes, bibliography, index. Pages main/total: 202/272. ISBN: 9780760335178 $27]
Modern reappraisals of maligned Civil War figures like Confederate General John Crawford Vaughn often attempt to even the score by either going too far in the other direction or attacking the subject's critics. Fortunately, Charles Larry Gordon's The Last Confederate General: John C. Vaughn and His East Tennessee Cavalry avoids such tactics, and instead attempts a balanced, 'warts and all' portrait of the man.
Largely a military biography, Gordon's book broadly examines the major and minor campaigns Vaughn participated in stretching from Mississippi to Virginia. The general commanded an infantry regiment at First Bull Run and a brigade during the Vicksburg Campaign. Returning to service after the surrender in Mississippi, Vaughn assumed command of a cavalry brigade that engaged in numerous 1863-1864 East Tennessee operations. These ended in the loss of most of the region to Federal control. The brigade was then transferred east across the mountains, meeting disaster at the Battle of Piedmont but performing generally well during Early's subsequent Shenandoah ventures. Later in the year, Vaughn returned to East Tennessee, finding some success in keeping Union forces out of its upper reaches and in rooting out guerrillas. The general ended the war in Georgia, having linked up with President Davis's fleeing government.
Much space is devoted to Vaughn's association with the 1863 Vicksburg Campaign and the 1864 Battle of Piedmont. Unfortunately for the general's reputation, these highly visible fights were the sources of his greatest personal command disasters, although Gordon reasonably maintains that the severe losses suffered at Big Black Bridge and Piedmont were as much the product of poor initial deployment by Vaughn's superiors as any kind of personal mismanagement.
One of the best services modern military biographies and unit histories provide is in detailing smaller battles and campaigns often overlooked by other studies. While Vaughn's sometimes successful 1864-1865 East Tennessee operations are briefly summarized, by not examining these neglected operations in greater detail, the author missed a golden opportunity to significantly enhance the value of his study for scholars and serious avocational students. Gordon also could have used his study to highlight many of the broader problems with the Confederacy's western mounted arm. The wretched discipline of Vaughn's brigade was a command failure endemic to much of the western cavalry. Poor equipment and irregular supply cannot excuse the degree of straggling and marauding. Additionally, one finds no evidence in Gordon's study that Vaughn, like all too many of his peers, made any serious attempt to impose discipline on his men, even in the face of a constant stream of real and implied reprimands from brother officers and superiors. Even the decision to mount the men of Vaughn's command in the first place was controversial, as the department was ill equipped to support yet more cavalry and was in dire need of infantry. These theater-wide leadership, organizational, and logistical failures would indeed make for an interesting study by some enterprising scholar.
Challenged by the lack of a surviving cache of his subject's private papers, Gordon was nevertheless able to draw enough from a variety of other sources to piece together a suitably detailed history of Vaughn's early life and post-war years. The general experienced many of the privations common to Confederates attempting to return to East Tennessee. Financially ruined, his personal reputation was also tarnished by his involvement in a pension fraud scheme.
The Last Confederate General is a largely sympathetic, yet even handed, appraisal of the checkered military career of John C. Vaughn. In addition to the narrative account of the general's military service, the lengthy biographical sketch is useful, both as a portrait of a neglected Civil War figure and a personalized example of the deep divisions within East Tennessee politics and society.

A Bugatti, A Helicopter, Now A Superyacht. Hermès Collaborates With Wally.
Well, they've already done a luxury automobile and a helicopter (the Bugatti Veyron and the Eurocopter 135 shown above), so I guess a luxury superyacht was next on the list. Note: they actually sell an Hermès $4000.00 bicycle too.
Hermès, the respected luxury fashion and leather goods house in Paris has collaborated with Wally yachts to introduce a eco-conscious luxury super yacht, the WHY 58.
above: Hermès is best known for their coveted Birkin handbag and recognizable by their fabulous orange packaging with brown ribbon.
No, it' not Hermès orange (that would be so awesome though, wouldn't it?) nor does it don a big "H", but they did accessorize the interior of the Monaco brand yacht. And wouldn't an Hermès orange life jacket or vest make perfect sense? But I digress, back to the yacht.
cross section drawings of the yacht:
A video of the yacht that is definitely worth watching:
The full scale model unveiled in Ancona, Italy:
The press release:
Wally Hermès Yachts: a joint-venture.
WHY is the result of the joint-venture signed in June 2008 between Hermès and Wally, to develop a new type of motor yacht redefining the art of living on the sea. The iconic Parisian house and the iconic Monaco yacht brand formed an equal partnership whereby each company is fully involved in all aspects of the conception and design of each project.
Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Artistic Director of Hermès says : "When we met, in autumn 2007, Luca Bassani Antivari, President of Wally had thought about asking Hermès to accessorise the interior of one of his boats. I was impressed by the daring of his projects. My instinct was to get on board with him and go and seek out new territories in yacht design, but I had no interest in speed."
Luca Bassani Antivari explains: "What I've always liked about Hermès, aside from its intrinsic quality, is its audacity and radicalism; its desire to go beyond trends, to make no compromises and to maintain the authenticity of the house. Wally shares the same values, 'Hermès-on-Land', 'Wally-on-Sea': inevitably our paths had to cross."
WHY 58x38
The common values of the two brands have led to a first yacht that offers an unparalleled living space at sea.
WHY was developed to give life to this concept assembling a team of dedicated talents in design, engineering, and naval architecture.
Then the tried and tested Norwegian Ramform hull characterised by exceptional and unprecedented stability and volume and spotted by Luca Bassani Antivari, revealed itself as the ideal choice to be adapted to the WHY 58x38 project.
Following this unique adaptation, the decks and the interiors were developed in accordance with the fundamental credo of WHY, 'form-equals-function'. Thus were born other innovations in the world of mega yachts: patios generously flooding the interior with natural light, photovoltaic panels on the glass hull sides, as well as on the roof opening, like Venetian blinds, a 25 metre-long forward end swimming pool, and a 36-metre aft deck beach.
WHY 58x38 offers comfort, privacy, stability, space, independence and sustainability.
"We are very interested in creating a yacht that will have a low environmental impact", says Pierre-Alexis Dumas. "Its relationship with the sea must be respectful and easy. WHY intends to offer a new way of moving over water by creating an innovative way of managing and recycling its sources and uses of energy."
"If you want to go totally ecological, the only solution is sailing. The reality is that today, 90 % of the market is powerboats, echoes Luca Bassani Antivari. Our aim is to reduce diesel consumption per year and per yacht: 20 to 30 % for propulsion and 40 to 50 % for generation."
Thanks to its specific hull, WHY 58x38 requires less power at cruising speed than a boat of equal size. Its diesel-electric propulsion is the most efficient motorisation today, and the surface of the photovoltaic panels, almost 900 square metres, covers most of the boat's auxiliary system needs.
WHY Research and Development plan to optimize this project's energy consumption by improving the isolation of the yacht and the heat recovery of its engines, and is also investigating the latest wind energy production and wind propulsion system technologies.
In comparison to a yacht of the same size, WHY 58x38 has been conceived to reduce drastically its energy consumption, saving up to 200 tons of diesel per year.
The WHY R & D program includes tank testing for hull stability in the SSPA facilities in Sweden, and the construction of a full-scale mock-up in order to allow the design team to fine tune the living areas correctly in accordance with the hull's unique shape.
"The WHY 58X38 yacht looks very unfamiliar but it remains on a human scale. Space is the greatest luxury on the sea, but I believe the new luxury will be the time to enjoy it", concludes Pierre-Alexis Dumas.
Oh, yeah. In case you were wondering...

What is REVO?
REVO is a movement rooted in the concept of LOVE. We seek to think beyond ourselves, while redefining our modern conception of necessity. REVO is an idea in motion. A way of living. A noun. A VERB. Essentially, REVO thrives on the idea that ONE person is all it takes to trigger a domino effect of positive change.
REVO is NOT a cause in and of itself. Rather, REVO exists to motivate and mobilize everyday people into taking REAL, creative steps toward relieving, restoring, and bringing HOPE to others in desperate need of compassion and grace. There are a lot of noteworthy organizations out there doing great work already. REVO simply helps these organizations to keep doing what they've been doing.
What is the goal of REVO LA?
Our goal at this time is to put on an art show this Spring (2009) that will heighten awareness of West Papua, Indonesia's broken school system. The money raised by this event will help fund "Sekolah Dasar Balem Wamena" (SDBW), a model school, which has recently become a light of HOPE in the corrupt regions of West Papua.
Through REVO LA, SDBW will be able to offer these children much better learning material, as well as provide them with larger teaching grounds, so even more students can attend. Most of all, with SDBW in place, students are less likely to fall into the hands of abusive teachers (for more information on this current atrocity, be sure to read our cause page).
How does REVO help others?
The way REVO has been carried out thus far is through citywide events (i.e. art shows, fashion shows, benefit concerts, etc) with a THREE-PART PURPOSE:
* » Heighten awareness about various forms of social injustice.
* » Raise funds for organizations that are already set in place.
* » Provide an opportunity for communities to come together for a purpose much greater than themselves.
A little history:
It all started a couple of years ago when Nina Brav found out that her friend, Kristie, was supporting an orphanage in Malawi with her own paycheck. Inspired to help her, Nina organized an art show to raise funds for them. It was at that art show that Nina was approached by two people from Tennessee and Louisiana. They wanted to know what they could do in their hometowns to help the causes that were important to them. And in that moment, the idea for REVO was born. Everyone is a revolutionary. Everyone is able to make a difference. Choose a cause that you are passionate about and start your very own revolution.
Since that first art show, REVO has spread to fifteen states and five countries. It won the MySpace Impact Awards in 2008. Over one hundred thousand dollars has been raised in two years for causes including the Grace of God Orphanage, Blood Water Mission, Invisible Children, Not For Sale Campaign, Mocha Club and Stop the Traffik.

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — A U.S. military expert on militant Islamism testified Thursday that al-Qaida members could have used the classified information Army Pfc. Bradley Manning disclosed through WikiLeaks to plan attacks on U.S. forces, but said there's no evidence they did.
Navy Cmdr. Youssef Aboul-Enein (ah-BOOL' ah-NYN'), author of the book, "Militant Islamist Ideology," and an adviser at the Pentagon's Defense Combatting Terrorism Center, noted that the leaked information included reports of significant battlefield activities, known as "SIGACTS."
Based upon al-Qaida's previous use of training materials obtained from adversaries, "one can only deduce that out of the thousands of SIGACTs that have been leaked, they could possibly, potentially deduce a pattern of behavior by United States combat forces," Aboul-Enein said.
Al-Qaida members could then create countermeasures and plan ambushes, Aboul-Einen said, testifying as a prosecution witness during Manning's sentencing hearing at Fort Meade, near Baltimore.
The researcher testified on cross-examination that al-Qaida has never claimed any tactical victories because of the information that WikiLeaks began publishing on its website in 2010.
Al-Qaida leaders clearly knew the information was there. The winter 2010 issue of Inspire magazine, published by al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, and an English-language al-Qaida propaganda video released in 2011 urged followers to look at the leaked material on WikiLeaks. Prosecutors produced evidence that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden had digital copies of all 90,000 leaked Afghanistan battlefield reports in his possession when he was killed by a Navy SEAL team in May 2011.
Aboul-Enein acknowledged that his testimony was speculative. The military judge, Army Col. Denise Lind, allowed him to testify over strenuous defense objections. She will rule as early as Friday on whether the evidence is admissible.
In previous rulings, Lind has allowed such evidence only if the risk of damage or harm to U.S. interests was directly related to or resulted from Manning's offenses, and if it directly followed the material's publication on WikiLeaks.
Manning, a 25-year-old native of Crescent, Okla., faces up to 90 years in prison for giving more than 700,000 documents and some battlefield video to the anti-secrecy group while working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010.
Prosecutors could rest their case in the sentencing phase of the court-martial as early as Friday.

Review of IFC Performance Standards and Sustainability Policy Overview of Key Issuesby -
From September to November 2009, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) is conducting an initial scoping of issues to improve in its updated sustainability policies. The following analysis recommends ways to improve IFC's coverage of four key issues:
- Climate change
- Environmental and social impact assessment
- Community engagement
- Human rights
Strengthen IFC's commitments to address climate change.
Science and policymaking on climate change have advanced exponentially since adoption of the 2006 Performance Standards. IFC currently has only a limited number of climate change requirements for clients within Performance Standard 3 on Pollution Prevention and Abatement, and makes no mention of any commitments for IFC itself in the Sustainability Policy.
IFC's policies only require projects with "significant emissions" to quantify greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). "Significant emissions" refer to projects that emit at least "100,000 tons CO2 equivalent per year for the aggregate emissions of direct sources and indirect sources associated with purchased electricity for own consumption." To address existing policy gaps, we recommend that IFC:
Commit to institution-wide measurement and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
Under the current policies, IFC makes no institution-wide commitments to mitigate climate change. The updated Sustainability Policy should reflect commitments to measure and publicly report GHG emissions across IFC's portfolio.
Expand requirements for clients to measure and report on their projects' greenhouse gas emissions
The following modifications to Performance Standard 3 are necessary to reflect developments in GHG accounting since 2006:
- Reduce the threshold for GHG accounting from 100,000 tonnes CO2 equivalent per year to 25,000 tonnes. This is the level being proposed as the threshold for U.S. greenhouse gas regulations.1
- Expand the scope of direct emissions beyond purchased electricity, to also include steam, heating, and cooling. Under the current Performance Standards, only direct sources associated with power production for the project require quantification.
- Remove the option for clients to offset GHG emissions. Instead, require clients to conduct an overall assessment of options for best available low-carbon technologies. By doing so, IFC will gain comparative advantage in promoting energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, alterations of project design, and other mitigation technologies.
IFC's clients should also quantify GHG emissions for direct and indirect land use change resulting from projects. This is particularly important for land intensive projects such as forestry, agriculture, mining, oil and gas, and hydropower.
A large percentage of IFC's portfolio consists of lending to financial intermediaries. These financial institutions, too, should account for GHG emissions as a condition of IFC financing. WRI's recent publication on GHG accounting for financial institutions provides guidance on applying accounting principles to the financial sector
Increase support for clean energy alternatives
The IFC continues to support fossil fuel-intensive projects, even as the World Bank Group prepares to play a leading role in financing the UNFCCC response to climate change. Fossil fuel energy has long-term costs that impact human health as well as the environment, and the IFC should help its clients consider the full costs associated with such projects—through GHG accounting and options assessment.
Furthermore, the IFC could demonstrate its commitment to combat climate change by offering to subsidize the additional costs of pursuing clean energy options in order to "level the playing field" between fossil fuel and renewable energy technologies.
Assess the human rights impacts of climate change-related projects
Human rights will affect the broader range of IFC climate change activities. As the IFC supports greenhouse gas mitigation by investing in cleaner projects, financing is likely to be channeled towards biofuel projects (which often displace poor communities from agricultural land), forest management (which can affect communities' access to water, food, and cultural resources), and large hydropower. As the IFC helps countries adapt to unpreventable impacts of climate change, certain activities may have human rights implications—such as forced resettlement from flood-prone areas, and potential for discrimination in which communities receive disaster relief assistance. IFC climate change standards should assess the potential for these risks.
Improve environmental and social impact assessments.
In many ways, the environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) is the cornerstone of the IFC Performance Standards. If used correctly, the ESIA helps clients to identify a project's environmental and social risks, and to develop a plan to manage or avoid those risks. However, IFC has not indicated that it plans to review the effectiveness of ESIA implementation. To improve ESIA effectiveness, IFC should incorporate the following into Performance Standard 1:
Assess impacts on ecosystem services
The IFC currently requires clients to identify impacts to ecosystem services (the benefits that people obtain from ecosystems) within the ESIA process, but only if significant impacts on biodiversity are identified. Ecosystem services cover a much broader range of issues—such as cultural services which could include burial or ceremonial grounds, ecotourism, provisioning services such as timber or fresh water, and regulating services such as water purification and erosion control. Applying an ecosystem services approach across all ESIAs will help clients to assess the true costs and benefits of the project, and to design compensation packages that cover the full cost of impacts.
Assess the development impacts of proposed projects
IFC requires that clients develop alternative project designs based on these risks, and then justify which option was chosen. However, IFC should require clients to analyze a "no project" alternative within the impact assessment as well, as required for Category A projects in the World Bank's Operational Policy 4.01. This would serve to provide affected communities with information they need in order to be informed. This would also allow IFC to more accurately assess the development outcomes of its investment, by providing a clearer picture of the tradeoffs inherent in project development.
Clarify requirements for community engagement.
The Performance Standards require clients to engage communities throughout the life of projects, in order to ensure that affected communities have a voice in project design and implementation. However, the current requirements do not provide clear guidance, and leave clients with a great deal of discretion. In many recent Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) complaints, an underlying tension appears to be ineffective community engagement. Clarify the requirements for community engagement The table below [see PDF] lists IFC's community engagement standards and when each of these is applied. The use of such a wide variety of standards reduces accountability to affected communities. How do communities know they have participated in "free, prior and informed consultation" rather than mere "consultation"? How do communities know when "broad community support" exists? Clients and communities would benefit from a clearer set of community requirements.
IFC should present these requirements in three, more accessible categories:
First, the Performance Standards should present the minimum community engagement requirements necessary for all affected communities. These include principles such as timely disclosure of information, consultations in a culturally appropriate manner, responsiveness to community concerns, access to grievance mechanisms, and regular reporting back to communities.
Second, the standards should present minimum community engagement requirements for indigenous peoples. These include the principles mentioned above, as well as respect for customary rights to land and natural resources, consent obtained prior to key project decisions, necessary time set aside for traditional deliberations, and disclosure of information in a culturally appropriate manner.
Third, the standards should provide specific requirements for when clients must use enhanced community engagement. For example, negotiations—rather than consultations—may be necessary when a project impedes on communities' rights to land or natural resources, or when the potential for conflict is high.
Strengthen "broad community support" to protect communities' rights
The IFC's Sustainability Policy requires that projects with potentially significant, adverse impacts and projects that affect indigenous peoples must have "broad community support" in order to receive IFC financing. The IFC currently determines at the time of Board vote whether broad community support exists for projects with significant impacts or that affect indigenous peoples. Several concerns prevent this standard from effectively protecting the rights of affected communities. For example, broad community support can exist even if the community is unaware that they have expressed support. Furthermore, IFC does not disclose its justifications for its assessment of the existence of broad community support. IFC also draws evidence of broad community support almost exclusively from the client's documentation, which presents a conflict of interest. For this standard to be credible, the IFC must disclose the evidence for its determination that a project has broad community support. IFC should also take steps to ensure that communities are aware of this standard, and that stakeholder groups have the opportunity to knowingly provide or withhold their support.
Strengthen "good faith negotiations" to protect indigenous communities' rights
In 2007, the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which enumerates current expectations for respecting indigenous rights. In particular, the Declaration requires free, prior and informed consent of indigenous peoples for activities affecting them. The IFC, however, has not yet updated the Performance Standards to ensure consistency with the Declaration.
For projects that affect indigenous peoples, IFC requires its clients to enter into "good faith negotiations" with affected peoples, and also to obtain broad community support. Together, these requirements could be equivalent to the principle of free, prior and informed consent with further adjustments:
- Where governments have made indigenous rights commitments under international law, such as through ratification of ILO Convention No. 169, there must be evidence that indigenous communities have provided their free, prior and informed consent before the IFC provides financing.
- For projects already underway when IFC becomes involved, there must be evidence that governments or previous project developers undertook a process of good faith negotiations when granting concessions.
- Negotiations must be free from coercion, prior to the commencement of project activities or IFC disbursement, and informed through access to information and technical assistance.
- The investment cannot go forward if good faith negotiations do not lead to a successful agreement with the communities.
- The outcome of negotiations must be a binding agreement that has been approved by the indigenous community.
Develop clear guidance on brownfield projects
In cases where IFC finances a project that is already underway, there is no policy or guidance on how it will assess the quality of the pre-existing community engagement, and how it will, therefore, ensure that its clients deliver quality community engagement. Clear guidance on brownfield projects is particularly important in places where there has been a history of community opposition to development projects or where conflicts are ongoing. Further IFC guidance is needed, such as:
- Internal procedures for assessing pre-existing community engagement.
- Guidance on how to operate in areas of pre-existing community conflict.
- Separate standards for greenfield and brownfield projects, where relevant.
- Modification of the existing broad community support standard to also be applicable to brownfield projects.
Integrate human rights considerations into IFC operations.
The IFC cannot fulfill its poverty alleviation mandate without considering the structural causes of poverty that human rights help to protect against—such as discrimination, exclusion, lack of accountability, and abuses of state power. Throughout the review, IFC has explicitly acknowledged the need for a more systematic approach to human rights. The human rights landscape has changed in the past three years, particularly due to the work of John Ruggie, the UN Special Representative on business and human rights. Professor Ruggie's work has helped establish an international norm that companies are responsible for respecting human rights in their activities.
Ensure that the standards are consistent with Ruggie's framework
While the IFC has no direct obligations under international human rights law, it is important that IFC does not support any activities that would contravene human rights norms for companies. In his 2008 report to the UN Human Rights Council, Professor Ruggie introduced a widely-accepted framework to help companies conduct appropriate due diligence in order to meet their responsibility to respect human rights. Key elements of any human rights risk management system include: (1) a companywide human rights policy; (2) human rights impact assessment; (3) tracking and reporting on implementation; and (4) access to remedies. Further steps are needed to ensure that the Performance Standards are consistent with Ruggie's framework, including:
- Require clients to incorporate key elements of human rights impact assessments listed below into environmental and social impact assessments.
- Require a comprehensive human rights impact assessment for certain projects, such as Category A projects and those with potentially significant human rights impacts.
- For lending to financial intermediaries and other forms of indirect finance, require clients to develop an internal human rights policy.
- Monitor IFC-financed projects to ensure that those voicing opposition to the project or raising claims with the accountability mechanisms do not face retaliation.
Ensure that local communities are aware of IFC involvement in projects that affect them
Many communities are not aware that the IFC has financed a project affecting them. This is increasingly problematic as the IFC supports projects through indirect finance. Furthermore, those communities that know about IFC involvement are often not aware that the CAO exists. The IFC does not require its clients to inform affected communities about this mechanism. Further steps to help address this problem include:
- Require clients to disclose that projects have received financing from the IFC, regardless of whether the IFC finances a project directly or indirectly.
- Require clients to disclose the existence of the CAO to affected communities.
Assess human rights impacts
ESIAs often fail to anticipate human rights violations of IFC investments. The IFC has developed a draft guide to "human rights impact assessment," which has been road-tested with several companies. Many environmental and social impact assessments already address a wide range of human rights challenges, but adding human rights components to these assessments would enhance risk management. Examples of human rights issues that clients should, but often do not, assess:
- Identification of duty bearers and rights holders.
- Discrimination against or disproportionate impacts on minorities and marginalized groups.
- Areas of tension and potential conflict by favoring certain stakeholders' interests over others.
- Availability of conflict resolution mechanisms for local communities to seek redress.
- Whether conditions are in place for meaningful consultations, such as access to information, appropriate timing for consultations, inclusiveness of minority groups, and freedom of communities to express opinions without retaliation.
- Gaps in enforcement of local laws that may require additional protection.
- Legacies of past development projects and unsettled human rights claims.
Apply John Ruggie's framework to IFC's indirect finance
Increasingly, the WBG invests indirectly in project developers and financiers, rather than investing directly in a specific project. For example, almost 40% of the IFC's portfolio consists of lending to financial intermediaries. The IFC also increasingly participates in trade finance and asset management. In these investments, the IFC has less operational control over the project, and is less able to monitor use of funds that might be disbursed across several different projects.
Currently, the IFC applies the performance standards when lending to financial intermediaries that have higher-risk portfolios. For all financial intermediaries, the IFC requires companies to create company environmental and social risk management systems, although the requirements for these systems are vague. Many private financial institutions have already adopted human rights policies, in line with Professor Ruggie's recommendations for all companies. Similar requirements for IFC clients would help to strengthen human rights protections in its indirect finance portfolio.

If you are worried about your friend's eating behaviors or attitudes, then it is appropriate for you to express your concerns to her in a loving and supportive way. It is important to handle these issues with honesty and respect. It is also important to discuss your worries early on, rather than waiting until your friend has endured many of the damaging physical and emotional effects of eating disorders.
Before speaking with your loved one, consider the following:
How has this situation impacted you? How has it affected your relationship?
How have you been trying to control your friend or loved one?
What actual behaviors have you witnessed? What have you actually heard?
Consider the outcome you want. How realistic is it? Distinguish between negotiable and non-negotiable issues. Consult with others on this for perspective.
Who else should be directly involved in the intervention?
Consult with the Counseling Center or another mental health professional on how to proceed.
Before speaking with your loved one, consider the following:
Set an appropriate time and place, convenient for all involved. In a private and relaxed setting, talk to your friend in a calm and caring way about the specific things you have seen or felt that have made you worry.
Share your memories, feelings, observations, and wishes. Share your memories of two or three specific times when you felt concerned, afraid, or uneasy because of her eating rituals. Talk about the feelings you experienced as a result of these events.
Try to talk in a very supportive, non-confrontational way.
Use "I" statements. For example, "I'm concerned about you because you refuse to eat breakfast or lunch" or "It makes me afraid to hear you vomiting."
Avoid accusatory "you" statements. For example, "You have to eat something! You must be crazy!" or "You're out of control!"
Really listen to whatever your friend or loved one needs to say.
Set an appropriate time and place, convenient for all involved. In a private and relaxed setting, talk to your friend in a calm and caring way about the specific things you have seen or felt that have made you worry.
Your friend may be angry that you are questioning her attitudes and behaviors. Your friend may deny that there is a problem. If your friend won't listen to your concerns, you may need to tell someone else, someone who can help. Consider talking to your friend's parents, a teacher, a doctor, a counselor, or a nutritionist. Your friend needs as much support and understanding as possible from the people in his or her life. Suggest that he or she seek support through the Counseling Center—you can offer to go with your friend to the first appointment.
Remember, you cannot force someone to seek help, change their habits, or adjust their attitudes. You will make important progress in honestly sharing your concerns, providing support, and knowing where to go for more information. People struggling with anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder do need professional help. There is help available, and there is hope!

Crowley in One Star In Sight mentions that he was cast forth from the Abyss into the sphere of Jupiter, and that Achad was cast forth into the sphere of the Elements. And Jim in the Proserpinus record mentions that he was told by his Angel which sphere he would be cast into (and despite curiosity, I won't ask, because I assume he wouldn't have redacted the sphere if he wanted us to know
Things I wonder about this, which I welcome discussion on:
1. I've seen one recent writer refer to this as basically the Boddhisattva vow, returning to the world to help mankind. That seems to make sense. Any disagreement?
2. The character of the sphere in question would seem to indicate the Master's "role" now that he lacks Ego. Jupiter would be Exempt Adept, leader of a school of thought, and that would certainly seem to fit Crowley, yes. But what about the sphere of the Elements for Achad? OSIS was written in An xvii (about 1921), so the split hadn't fully manifested yet, if at all. So I don't think this is some veiled reference to Achad being a Black Brother; yet the sphere of the Elements is in some sense where we all live, so I'm confused by it.
3. Given the nature of being a Boddhisattva, I would think an awful lot of the forth-cast stars would wind up in Jupiter as Crowley did, no? I guess most of the other spheres would be people working without ego, without attachment, and thus probably much more "behind the scenes" and not being noticed. Any thoughts?
I ask since I'm about to come back from the Abyss myself and want to know where to land *huge wink* No, I'm thankfully nowhere near those concerns yet; just learning.

I used Copic Markers to color in our little frightening friend. For his robe and scythe blade I used C3, C5, C7 and C9 from the Cool Grey Family. I used E07,E11,E23,and E31 from the Earth Tone Family for the scythe handle, and YR31 for his gloves. The base, stripe and strips of card stock are from Carta Bella's All Hallow's Eve paper pack. The letter stamps are Harold's Letters from Lawn Fawn stamped in Memento's Tuxedo Black ink. The brads are from Stampin' Up.
And then I got a case of the sillies and my daughters and I decided that our Little Grim Reaper looked way to serious so we added googly eyes to him. Which then produced many giggles.

If a disease is to spread across the country, JFK Airport will most likely be the starting point.
A Massachusetts Institute of Technology study looked at the 40 largest airports in the country to determine the most likely to spread a contagion throughout the nation, with JFK topping the list.
The Queens airport's ranking had nothing to do with sick passengers or cleanliness — though waiting times were considered — but with how a disease may advance to other parts of the world.
"Our work is the first to look at the spatial spreading of contagion processes at early times, and to propose a predictor for which 'nodes' — in this case, airports — will lead to more aggressive spatial spreading," says Ruben Juanes, the ARCO Associate Professor in Energy Studies in MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
The spread of disease was compared to the dissemination of information over social networks and the connectivity of JFK's connecting airports vaulted it to the top of the list.
The study, published in the journal PLoS ONE, was done to help determine measures for containing infections and distributing vaccinations in the early days of a contagion.
JFK is followed on the list by Los Angeles, Honolulu, San Francisco, Newark, O'Hare and Dulles.

So today I thought I'd offer a quick riff about double standards.
Case number one, the most obvious: Rep. John Boehner's weepathon on "60 Minutes." The prospective Speaker of the House cries. Don't know why. But as USC Professor Kathleen Reardon points out on HuffPo, it's perfectly fine — if somewhat creepy — if a Republican male cries on TV, but can you imagine the outcry if Nancy Pelosi had done the same? From Reardon's post (Note: videos from "60 Minutes" are embedded here):
Men get to cry with impunity lately, especially those considered tough, stiff, distant, difficult, demanding or dispassionate. The context matters; nowadays in politics talking about old friends, soldiers, children, harm done to one's family, or personal challenges provide opportunities when a tear or two can do more good than harm.
Republican crying is more acceptable than Democratic crying because liberals are expected to be softer – "bleeding hearts." Republicans are perceived as tougher, less sensitive, often more concerned with business priorities. So, crying works well for them. It's the violation of expectations that makes conservative crying persuasive. It's the beauty of not being predictable.
Women, whether in business or politics, are in a more difficult position with regard to any sort of emoting. Since it is expected of them, crying doesn't serve as a balancing technique. It merely confirms that they are soft. Of course, if a woman like Margaret Thatcher were to shed a tear, it would violate expectations and in the right context might serve her well — once or twice.
Yet the tough Nancy Pelosi won't take that risk. When asked about John Boehner's tendency to cry, Pelosi responded:
"You know what? He is known to cry. He cries sometimes when we're having a debate on bills. If I cry, it's about the personal loss of a friend or something like that. But when it comes to politics — no, I don't cry. I would never think of crying about any loss of an office, because that's always a possibility, and if you're professional, then you deal with it professionally."
You can't blame Pelosi. She remembers what happened to Hillary Clinton.
So do we. She cried on the campaign trail. And was roundly castigated for it: How, you know, like a woman to be so emotional. And so it goes. Need we say more?
Case in point number two: While reading the paper on Sunday, I came across a curious, dated expression not once but twice. Family Man. As an accolade. Really, hadn't that phrase had gone the way of the beehive hairdo? Apparently not. The first reference came via a column about our newly elected District Attorney and his newly appointed chief deputy, his best friend. The columnist took pains to note that both were "dedicated family men", each with two kids. The subtext? Well, it might have been to note that though the two men are close, they are decidedly hetero. But that's beside the point. The implication is that, because they are fathers, well, you can trust them to get the job done. More in a minute.
The second reference was to some movie star or other. I think it was Matt Damon. But again — and I'm embarrassed to admit that I read such stuff, but what the hell, it gave me meat for a riff — shortly after the nutgraf, he was described as a "family man." As in, what a guy!
Now, I like families as much as the next girl. I have one of my own, which I guess means you could call my husband a dedicated family man. But have you ever heard of a "family woman"? Yeah, thought not. And here's where that double standard comes in. As we discuss (okay, at length) in our book, studies have shown that women are held back in their careers because they have families, which is bad enough, but also because they might have families. It's called the maternal wall, and there's an impenetrable bias there. As one of our sources, University of Illinois business professor Jenny Hoobler, told us: " If a man has a picture of a child in the office, it makes them look like they're stable, like a good, solid trustworthy employee, but if a woman has pictures in the office, it looks like, uh-oh, she's not really dedicated to the career. Will she leave the workplace early to pick up her kids? Will she take an extended maternity leave? Will she even come back after the birth of her next child?"
Ugh, right? Right?
And then, there's this: A study on fathers out of the Boston College Center for Work and Family found that the dads confirmed that having a baby enhanced their self-image at work, in terms of reputation, credibility and even career options.
I'm sure there are a plenty more examples, but, frankly, I'm off to find my Kleenex. And so, I leave the cries and whispers to you. Anything to add?

two-way market(redirected from 2-Way Market)
Two-Way Market
A market for a security where both an open bid and an open ask are quoted. This indicates that there are both willing buyers and sellers for the security, though their prices may not be the same. While a two-way market is not necessarily liquid, it is by definition more liquid than a one-way market, where there is either no willing buyer or no willing seller currently available. It is also called a two-sided market.

See two-sided market.
