From ROHWrestling.com:
On August 3rd Ring of Honor heads north to Toronto for a star-studded event we just had to call "All Star Extravaganza V"! The Current IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions The Forever Hooligans (Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov) will be in action, The Young Bucks and Brian Kendrick make their return to Ring of Honor, Paul London is back in action, the ROH World Title Tournament continues, plus there will be a whole lot more!!
Now that the negotiations have been finalized with New Japan Pro Wrestling, we can now also announce that on August 3rd, one of the most exciting stars of NJPW will make his ROH debut! At "All Star Extravaganza V", the ROH faithful north of the border will see the debut of KUSHIDA!
One-half of The Time Splitters alongside ROH alum Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA made his pro wrestling debut in September 2006 after training with the legendary Nobuhiko Takada as well as under the wing of Yoshihiro Tajiri. Initially breaking in as an MMA combatant in the ZST promotion, his focus turned to professional wrestling and his journey to NPJW took him from HUSTLE to All Japan & Osaka Pro to North America where he competed in the US & Canada and eventually back to Japan where he competed first for Tajiri's SMASH promotion before becoming a full-time member of the NJPW roster in early 2011.
Since that time KUSHIDA has captured the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championship alongside Shelley, a title they defeated the Forever Hooligans to claim in November 2012 and lost back to Romero & Koslov in May of this year. The pair also claimed the crown in the 2012 Super Jr. Tag Tournament after defeating Apollo 55 (Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi) in the finals.
Now KUSHIDA will make his Ring of Honor debut on August 3rd in Toronto and his opponent will be determined by the Adam Page/Silas Young bout that goes down in Providence on July 27th. The winner will advance to the World Title Tournament and take on Tommaso Ciampa at "All Star Extravaganza V" and the loser will get the opportunity to take on KUSHIDA one-on-one!
Either way it is the opportunity of a lifetime for Page & Young and it could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for you, the ROH faithful, to see KUSHIDA in action here in Ring of Honor! Tickets for our return to Toronto on August 3rd for "All Star Extravaganza V" are available right here! Get yours now!

The President of UNCTAD XIII and the organization's Secretary-General said at the closing of the quadrennial conference early this evening that consensus texts adopted here have the organization well-positioned to face contemporary challenges and to continue traditional work that remains relevant and effective.
UNCTAD XIII President Hamad bin Abdulaziz bin Ali Al-Kuwari, Qatar's Minister of Culture, Arts, and Heritage, said "UNCTAD's message of reform is a contemporary one that recognizes the changes that have taken place in the global economy in the last 10 years. A new generation of policies and reforms in trade, finance, investment and technology will be needed in this next phase of post-crisis globalization."
The President will continue in the post for the next four years.
"This has been a process and an outcome that strengthens UNCTAD," said Secretary-General Supachai Panitchpakdi. While "we can justifiably be proud of our record and our role within the United Nations system," he said, recent trends and developments in the world economy and in situations affecting developing countries had merited the intensive discussion that took place during the meetings in Doha. The principal outcome document takes new concerns into account and also "fundamentally and unambiguously reaffirms UNCTAD's mandate," he told the closing session.
The 15-page, 64-paragraph Doha Mandate, as it is called, gives guidelines for the organization's activities for the next four years; it reaffirms work priorities agreed in 2008 at the UNCTAD XII conference, including UNCTAD's traditional research activities in matters of trade and related development issues of concern to poor nations. Consensus on the text was achieved by the organization's 194 member States after several months of negotiations.
Mothae Anthony Maruping, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole that negotiated the document, said it is "short, clear, and concentrated" and reflects member States' joint ambitions for UNCTAD.
In addition to the negotiations, the conference was a six-day marathon of panel discussions, report and publication launches, Ministerial conferences, and other events. UNCTAD's Third World Investment Forum overlapped with the 21 April beginning of the quadrennial gathering. Total attendance during the week came to over 5,000.
On the UNCTAD XIII theme of "development-centred globalization," the Doha Mandate states that "several challenges have to be met to realize development-centred globalization. In this regard, finance should support the real economy in support of sustained, inclusive and equitable economic growth and sustainable development. All countries, developed and developing alike, can pay serious political, economic and social costs from financial shocks."
It continues, "Another challenge is eliminating hunger and achieving food security. Securing adequate access to food – one of the most basic human needs – is a priority."
Issues related to energy must be addressed, the outcome text says, including volatile prices and access, including access to renewable energy.
"Development-centred globalization sets the stage for inclusive growth and development, and contributes towards reducing poverty and creating jobs," the Doha Mandate continues. "Discussions on globalization should be balanced, highlighting its benefits, acknowledging its risks and addressing its challenges."
Other matters noted in the text are that UNCTAD should continue its research and advisory work on issues of public debt and on the dissemination or diffusion of technology to developing countries.
The closing declaration of UNCTAD XIII, called the Doha Manar -- an Arabic word meaning a strong light visible from a distance that serves to direct travellers – states on behalf of the 194 member States that "Together, as a collection of sovereign nations, we have endeavoured to construct a shared, interdependent and prosperous world through increased economic, political and social processes. By working to maximize the opportunities arising from globalization in international trade and investment, we have sought to promote economic growth and development with particular attention to reducing the inequalities between us and within our nations, and to improving our capacities to fulfil common purposes and exercise more effective and responsible stewardship of our natural and planetary resources. Above all, we have sought to fulfil, individually and collectively, our peoples' aspirations to live in peace and to enjoy in fullness lives that are rich and diverse, and ever more stable and secure."
The Manar continues, "We commend UNCTAD as the focal point of the United Nations system for the integrated treatment of trade and development and interrelated issues in the areas of finance, technology, investment and sustainable development."

BOSTON, Mass. – MIT women's soccer junior Ambika Krishnamachar (Darien, Conn.) picked up New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Offensive Player of the Week honors for the second time in her career, as announced by the league office on Tuesday afternoon.
In MIT's 2-0 week, she notched three goals, bringing her total this season to five goals in five goals, which ties her for first on the team. In MIT's 3-1 win over Wheaton College on Tuesday, she scored the game-winning goal, finding the back of the net twice in the span of just over a minute and a half. Against Clark University on Saturday, she scored four minutes into the second half off a sliding kick just outside the box, helping to lead the Engineers to a 3-0 win over the Cougars.
In the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) that was released earlier today, the Engineers moved up from being ranked 22nd in the nation to 19th. So far this season, MIT has been ranked as high as 13th, the highest it has ever been ranked in program history. Tech remains ranked second in the New England region behind Middlebury College.
MIT, who is currently 8-2-2 on the season and sits atop the NEWMAC standings with a record of 4-1 in league play, continues with conference play tonight when it faces Wellesley College on the road at 4:00 p.m.

Kershaw dominates Brewers in 2-0 shutout
LOS ANGELES -- The Milwaukee Brewers were one of the few clubs to knock around Dodgers' ace Clayton Kershaw. On Sunday, though, the Brewers' bats were as quiet as church mice.
Kershaw struck out a season-high 12 batters in a four-hit shutout, leading Los Angeles to a 2-0 victory over Milwaukee before 49,003 fans at Dodger Stadium.
"It was good to see Kershaw back to his self," Dodgers leftfielder Carl Crawford said. "He struggled his last few outings. To get him back on track is a plus for us."
Two solo home runs by Crawford were more than enough for Kershaw, who had an 0-3 record and a 8.47 ERA in four previous starts against the Brewers at Dodger Stadium. But they had no answer for the Dodgers lefty this time.
Kershaw, who wasn't available for comment after the game because he rushed off to tend to a "personal matter," settled into a groove after giving up three hits to the first five batters he faced. He retired 18 in a row from the second inning until the eighth, when he gave up a lead-off double to left-center to Carlos Gomez. But Kershaw, who threw 117 pitches, finished off the Brewers without any further damage in the inning.
Brandon League retired the side in the ninth for his eighth save.
It marked the fifth time Kershaw (3-2) has struck out at least 12 and the 19th game he has recorded 10 or more strikeouts. The 12 strikeouts are one short of his career high.
He struck out at least two batters in six of the eight innings he pitched. The last time he faced the Brewers at Dodger Stadium Kershaw gave up five runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings in a 6-3 loss on May 30, 2012.
But with Crawford providing a cushion, it was more than enough for Kershaw and the Dodgers (12-12), who took two of three in the weekend series from the Brewers (12-11).
"Clayton's always driven," Mattingly said. "He's just a grinder."
Crawford led off the game with a solo home run, tagging Kyle Lohse's first pitch and driving it over the centerfield wall for a 1-0 lead.
"A lot of guys have been getting ahead with the first pitch right down the middle," said Crawford, who notched his sixth career multi-homer game, the last one coming in 2010 against Cleveland. "I just picked a day to be aggressive with the first pitch."
In the fifth, Crawford drilled an 0-2 pitch from Lohse into the right-field bleachers for the game's final run with two outs.
Crawford said he feels at ease since the Dodgers' coaching staff has encouraged him to be aggressive at the plate instead of focusing on taking pitches like many lead-off hitters frequently do.
"They've pretty much given the freedom to be myself," Crawford said. "I just like to put a good swing on the ball. It's times for that (taking pitches). But for the most part, I'm trying to hit balls in the gap."
Lohse (1-2) pitched well, limiting the rest of the Dodgers' lineup to only three hits on four strikeouts and no walks in seven innings. But the two mistakes to Crawford cost him. Entering Sunday's game, Lohse had given up only one home run in 25 innings.
NOTES: Hanley Ramirez, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI in a rehab start Saturday at single-A Rancho Cucamonga, could be in the Dodgers' lineup as early as Monday. Dodger manager Don Mattingly didn't rule out Ramirez possibly returning when the Dodgers host the Rockies Monday, saying it was up to the club's medical staff. "I think anything's possible the way he looked (Saturday)," Mattingly said referring to Ramirez's rehab performance. "If medical says this guy is ready to play..." then Ramirez will play Monday. ... Dodgers prospect Yasiel Puig was arrested and charged with speeding, reckless driving and driving without proof of insurance in Chattanooga, Tenn., early Sunday, according to the Los Angeles Times. Puig, a 22-year-old Cuban defector, inked a seven-year, $42-million deal last summer with the Dodgers. ... The Brewers went 3-3 on their road trip and were blanked for the third time this season.

§ 9. Quarrel with Jonson: Assaults and Counter-assaults.
In 1599, a play was performed at court, probably by the boys of Pauls, which carried on the practice of staging contemporary authors, and, in the personage of Chrisoganus, Master Pedant and translating scholler, who is advised, goe, get you clothes, the audience of the day probably recognised the most learned of the dramatic circle, Jonson, who excelled in a translation, and was famous no less for his scholarship than for his shabby garments. This play,
based on an earlier drama, possibly by Chapman, was directed against adult players, perhaps with special reference to the Chamberlains company, and authors who wrote for it, of whom Jonson was one, and the evidence is strongly in favour of Marstons responsibility for the greater share in its production. Jonson, when, for the first time, he attacks Marston in
Every Man out of His Humour,
selects for derision words used in this play as well as in Marstons
Scourge of Villanie,
and, in the opinion of some critics, presented him as Carlo Buffone, a most fiend like disposition, a public scurrilous and profane jester who will swill up more sack at a sitting than would make all the guard a posset. We are told that he will sooner lose his soul than a jest, and profane even the most holy things to excite laughter. The identification, however, is far from certain, and Carlo may have been intended for a certain Charles Chester, a familiar city character. Attempts have been made to identify various other characters in the play with well known contemporaries of JonsonFastidious Brisk with Daniel, Fungoso with Lodge and Sordido with Henslowebut with more ingenuity than success. So far, Dekker had not been in the battle. Before this date, he and Jonson had been collaborators and may have been friends. Some critics have thought Emulo a portrait of Jonson; but nothing could be more inapplicable to that sturdy shabby scholar than a description such as this
My brisk spangled baby will come into a stationers shop, call for a stool and a cushion, and then asking for some Greek poet, to him he falls, and then he grumbles God knows what, but Ill be sworn he knows not so much as one character of the tongue.
Jacke Drums Entertainment,
an anonymous play performed in 1600 by the children of Pauls, in which Brabant Senior, the censurer, is probably a portrait of Jonson, and Sir Edward Fortune may be intended for Edward Alleyn, there is again evidence of Marstons hand, his rhodomontade and fustian vocabulary, and these are ridiculed in
The new poet Mellidus was probably a representation of the author himself. Jonson had already returned to the charge in
Cynthias Revels,
where Dekker has been thought to be staged for the first time as Anaides, and where, most probably, Marston is pilloried as Hedon:
The one a light voluptuous reveller,
The other a strange arrogating puff,
Both impudent and arrogant enough.
Both are represented as engaged in a plot against Crites, who, they agree to give out, is a plagiary, all he does is dictated from other men, and the time and place where he stole it is known. Anaides is described as one who will censure or discourse of anything, but as absurdly as you would wish. His fashion is not to take knowledge of him that is beneath him in clothes. He never drinks below the salt. He has a voice like the opening of some justices gate or a postboys horn, a great proficient in all the illiberal sciences. He will blaspheme in his shirt. The oaths which he vomits at one supper would maintain a town of garrison in good swearing a twelve month. We hear from him that, in argument with Crites, because I could not construe an author I quoted at first sight, he went away and laughed at me. Anaides revenges himself by describing Crites as smelling of lamp-oil with studying by candle-light. The Amorphus of this play may be Anthony Munday, who walks most commonly with a clove or picktooth in his mouth, and is more affected than a dozen waiting women. He will usurp all the talk, ten constables are not so tedious, and he has been fortunate in the amours of three hundred forty and five ladies, all nobly, if not princely descended. The epilogue to
Cynthias Revels
connects this play with Marstons
Antonio and Mellida.
The actor who pronounced it had injunction from the author
I ll only speak what I have heard him say:
By God, tis good, and if you likt, you may.
The epilogue to
Antonio and Mellida
enters armed and remarks: I stand not as a peremptory challenger of desert, either for him that composed the Comedy, or for us that acted it; but as a most submissive suppliant for both. To the armed epilogue of Marstons play succeeded the armed prologue of
(1601), Jonsons most elaborate attack upon his detractors, where Marston is Crispinus, Dekker Demetrius. Hedon, in
Cynthias Revels
is supposed, by some critics, to be Dekker; but it seems more probable that as a dresser of plays about the town here, one of the most overflowing rank wits in Rome, he appears for the first time upon the stage as Demetrius.
doubtless presents other portraits of contemporaries; Virgil, a complimentary picture, may have been intended either for Shakespeare or Chapman. The pill which Caesar permits Horace to administer to Crispinus forces him to disgorge a number of Marstons fustian words, which offended Jonsons taste; and both he and Demetrius are sworn never again to malign, traduce or detract the person or writings of Quintus Horatius Flaccus, or any other eminent man. The reply to
was entrusted by the aggrieved fellowship to Dekker, and his
was produced in 1601. It seems certain that Jonson knew of the intention to reply to
and that Dekker was to share in it, for the part of Demetrius looks like an afterthought. He is introduced as a stranger in the third act hired to abuse Horace, and brings him in a play. The controversy is carried on by the author of
in a light, pleasant and facetious vein. Dekker cleverly introduces some of Jonsons own characters and even improves that of the swaggerer Tucca, and, while this play falls far short of
in construction, its mockery is more genial, its humour more subtle and sparkling and the management of the whole is marked by a delightful air of irresponsibility. Jonson is charged with having arraigned two poets against all law and conscience. There are a number of jocose references to his personal appearance, his scholars pride, his slow methods of composition, his early trade as a bricklayer, his military service in the Netherlands, the duel in which he killed his adversary. The humourous poet is untrussed, and condemned to wear a crown of nettles. He is no longer to swear he will hang himself if he thinks any man could write as well as he, nor to enter the gallery when his comedies are performed, and there make vile and bad faces at every line to make men have an eye to him and make the players afraid.
Besides, you must forsweare to venter on the stage, when your play is ended, and to exchange curtezies, and complements with Gallants in the Lordes roomes, to make all the house rise up in Armes, and to cry thats Horace, thats he, thats he, thats he, that pennes and purges Humours and diseases.
And, again, when your plays are misse-likt at Court, you shall not crye Mew like a Pusse-cat, and say you are glad you write out of the Courtiers Element. We come, says Crispinus, like your Phisitions, to purge
Your sicke and daungerous minde of her disease.

SALEM (AP) — Oregon lawmakers are considering a bill that would expand the definition of drunken driving to include prescription drugs and synthetic substances that mimic drugs.
Currently "intoxicants" cover only alcohol, controlled substances and inhalants.
The Statesman Journal reports the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing Monday on the bill that would include any drug that affects a driver's mental or physical faculties.
Drivers could claim they had an adverse reaction to medicine, but they'd have to disclose medical records to the prosecutor.

Guide Chapter A17 Becomes Chapter 17 with Guide Bulletin 2012-15
July 20, 2012
The culmination of your diligent work and preparation on the Phase I Uniform Loan Delivery Dataset (ULDD) implementation is just days away. To further support your successful implementation of the ULDD, Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide (Guide) Bulletin 2012-15 updates our ULDD resources that support our ULDD requirements which become effective July 23, 2012.
Today's Guide Bulletin also provides important information about the use of Hardest Hit Fund (HHF) program funds, fraud prevention and electronic transactions.
Originate & Underwrite and Sell & Deliver
Making ULDD data our standard delivery requirements. To solidify our implementation of the ULDD requirements, we are transitioning all of the ULDD delivery requirements, currently in Guide Chapter A17, Mortgage Delivery Instructions, into a new version of Guide Chapter 17. This change is in line with the ULDD Phase I July 23, 2012, implementation date and makes it easier for you to access the ULDD requirements. All cross-references to Chapter "A17" in the Guide will be updated to reflect Chapter "17."
In addition, other instructions and clarifications will be available in the new version of Chapter 17 based on the recent implementation of the ULDD in the selling system.
- Updating Appendix A Addendum. It is important that you review the updated Appendix A Addendum and the changes marked "7/20/2012" to become familiar with the minor updates to the ULDD data delivery requirements for mortgages with application received dates on or after August 1, 2012, and delivered on or after November 26, 2012. The updated Appendix A Addendum also includes other important Appendix A changes you need to be aware of.
Important selling system reminders. With the ULDD implementation on July 23, it is critical that you be aware of the following:
Guide Forms 11, Mortgage Submission Schedule, and 13SF, Mortgage Submission Voucher, have been retired and you will no longer be able to deliver loans using these legacy formats.
- Beginning July 23, 2012, the appraisal data you enter into the selling system for loans with application received dates on or after December 1, 2011, must match the appraisal data entered into the Uniform Collateral Data Portal® (UCDP®). The selling system compares a limited set of data points in the UCDP against the data provided in the selling system based on the Appraisal Identifier entered into the selling system. If the data entered in the selling system does not match the data in the UCDP, you will need to either update the data in the selling system or resubmit the correct appraisal data to the UCDP.
Until August 1, 2012, the selling system will deliver a warning message if the field for Application Received Date is blank and the note date is on or after March 1, 2012. Beginning August 1, the selling system will deliver a critical edit, and you will be prompted to fill in the Application Received Date.

Clayton Teague
Former Director,
Clayton Teague served as Director of the Federal National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO) from April 2003 to April 2011. Established in 2001, the NNCO is the secretariat to the Nanoscale Science, Engineering and Technology Subcommittee of the NSTC. As such, the NNCO provides day-to-day technical and administrative support to the NSET Subcommittee and assists in the preparation of multi-agency planning, budget and assessment documents. The NNCO is the point of contact on federal Nanotechnology activities for government organizations, academia, industry, professional societies, foreign organizations, and others to exchange technical and programmatic information. In addition, the NNCO develops and makes available printed and other materials as directed by the NSET Subcommittee as well as maintains the NNI Web site.
Dr. Teague was previously Chief of the Manufacturing Metrology Division in the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
At NIST since 1972, Dr. Teague has designed, constructed, and used precision instrumentation for ultra-high accuracy dimensional metrology of surfaces and micrometer to nanometer-scale features. Beginning with his metal-vacuum-metal tunneling work in the 1970's, he continued to work with such precision instrumentation as scanning tunneling microscopes, atomic force microscopes, displacement and phase-measuring interferometry, stylus instruments, flexure stages, and light scattering apparatus. Because the laboratory and building environments were always factors in the ultimate performance of these instruments, the subject of this workshop has been an ongoing topic of great interest.
Dr. Teague is a member of the American Society for Precision Engineering, has served twice as the Society's President, and is a fellow of the UK Institute of Physics. He served as Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Nanotechnology for ten years and is currently a member of the Editorial Board of the journal. He holds a B.S. and M.S. in physics from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a PhD in physics from the University of North Texas. He has authored or coauthored 70 papers, has presented 50 invited talks in the technical fields described, and jointly with colleagues, has six patents. Dr. Teague has received the Gold Medal, Silver Medal, and Allen V. Astin Measurement Science Award from the Department of Commerce, the Kilby International Award by the Kilby Awards Foundation, and an IR-100 Industrial Research and Development Award for his work.

Been a lurker for a bit now, but now I have to say something.
Damn I'm proud to be a lifelong Seahawks fan...I couldn't watch the game today (Chicago area FTL) but was able to keep up with it via nfl.com. I was laughing like a little kid the entire game. Just unbelievable. After last week's heart attack (twice), and actually being able to see a Seahawks game for the first time this season I now know why everyone is crazy about Wilson. I'm on the bus now too. The guy is a true winner. After seeing that game and the highlights throughout the year I'm finally caving in and getting a Wilson jersey. The only other jersey I've ever had was Bosworth back in the day (please don't laugh....I loved the guy when he was playing )
Anyway...just wanted to introduce myself and say how excited I am about this team. Haven't felt this excited since '05 (F the Stealers)....hoping we can take it all this year. I believe these guys have a shot at doing it.

Economist Chris Martenson considers the intersection between our economy, energy, and the environment—and how we can navigate the coming changes.
The big story is this: the world has physical limits that we are already encountering, but our economy operates as if none exist. Our economy requires growth. I don't mean require as if it's written in a legal document somewhere, but require in the sense that our economy really only functions well when it's growing. With growth, jobs are created and debts can be serviced. Without growth, these and many other facets simply and mysteriously crumble causing economic pain and confusion.
In the near future humanity, as a species, will have to grapple with a condition it's never faced before: slightly less and less energy being available each year. In the past, there was always another continent brimming with energy resources to tap, another well that could be drilled, more hydrocarbon wealth that could be brought up from the depths. We've always had access to more and during that long run of history we fashioned an enormously complicated society and global economic model around the idea that there always would be more.
Along the way we moved from burning wood to burning coal, then to whale oil and then to petroleum. The unanswered question is, after oil what comes next? What is the next source of energy? Nobody has a truly viable answer for that as we cross the threshold of peak oil; the moment after which slightly less and less energy comes up out of the ground for us to use as we wish.
Many hold out hopes that technology will ride to the rescue, perhaps in the form of nuclear, natural gas, or alternative sources of energy, but the issues of time, scale, and cost loom large given the late date at which we are finally recognizing the severity and imminence of the petroleum predicament.
With a peak in energy extraction a host of environmental issues suddenly come into play. Agricultural soils that were forced to produce higher yields via the continuous application of fossil-fuel derived fertilizers will be revealed to be fundamentally depleted. Minerals of increasingly dilute concentrations that require more and more energy to produce every year will suddenly cost exponentially more each year to extract and process.
On top of all this, the earth brims with more than 7 billion people, with nearly 80 million more added each year, on its way to 8 or 9 or possibly 10 or more billion people. The combined outputs of carbon into the atmosphere, plastic into the ocean, and a cocktail of hundreds of thousands of new human-made chemicals introduced into the environment with untestable and unknowable effects are creating a death by a thousand cuts effect on our ecosystems.
Where markets once divvied up our energy resources according to ability to pay, in the near future true scarcity will form the dividing line between economic progress and decline for the world's various nations. How soon will all of this happen? If not this year, then within 20 years—a blink of an eye given the scale and scope of the potential disruptions implied by this structural shift.
It's only when we put the challenges we find in the economy, energy, and the environment—what I call the "three Es"—into one spot that we can fully appreciate the true dimensions of our predicament. The next 20 years are going to be shaped by fundamental resource scarcity in ways that we've never experienced in history and the developed world is entering this race economically handicapped with no one to blame but itself.
The primary question is whether we want our future to be shaped by disaster or by design. The set of predicaments and problems we now face are very different from the conditions of the past 20 years and therefore present a solid challenge to the existing status quo. Those currently wielding power and influence are most likely to defend the status quo raising the risk that our future will consist of more disaster than design. Further, abrupt changes have the unfortunate tendency of escaping notice by the majority of people who have been conditioned to expect that the future will resemble the past—a perfectly valid assumption for ordinary times but a liability during extraordinary times.
A lucky few will see the changes coming ahead of time and seize the opportunity to make a more gentle series of adjustments on their own terms, while most will be caught unawares and have a much rougher period of transition. Fortunately, by examining and understanding the ways in which the economy intersects with and depends upon energy and other resources from the environment, it is possible to safely navigate and even predict the coming changes.

The start time for the Houston Dynamo match against FC Dallas, presented by Novo Nordisk, has been changed to 6:30 p.m. CT. The game, which will be played at BBVA Compass Stadium, was originally slated to begin at 4 p.m. CT.
"After the Galaxy game and the challenges created by the afternoon heat, we realized that we needed to make a proactive and cooperative effort to move the kickoff time for the FC Dallas game," said Dynamo president Chris Canetti. "Thanks to a lot of good work by many people, we were able to find a solution that worked for all parties, including our national TV partner ESPN, and push the time back to 6:30 p.m. This is a great result for everyone involved, most importantly the players and fans."
The Texas Derby will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2. It will be the only meeting between the two clubs during the MLS regular season.
A limited number of tickets remain for the match and can be purchased by calling (713) 276-GOAL or by clicking here.

Here is a post made from Geocahing.com yesterday on their decision to retire the Challenges:
In my opinion this was just their way to try and give us something to replace the Virtuals that most cachers wanted them to bring back. I feel like it was a very poor substitute. I know that a lot of cachers out there worked really hard at getting the challenges out there and I greatly appreciate their efforts.In our effort to inspire outdoor play through Geocaching, we are often faced with decisions about what to focus on next, and what to focus on less. It is through these decisions that we explore opportunities to grow the global game of geocaching.
Occasionally, during this process, we are faced with the reality that certain ideas dont catch on as we had hoped. In these situations we owe it to ourselves and to you to make tough decisions about the future of every project and the resources to be applied to each. Sometimes, as a result, cool features must become casualties.
In this spirit, we have decided to retire Geocaching Challenges.
This means that, effective today, we have disabled the ability to create new Challenges. We have also removed the Challenges application from all mobile application stores. In approximately 7 days, we will be removing all traces of the Challenges functionality and related content from Geocaching.com.
On an office wall here at HQ is a sign that reads, Lets make better mistakes tomorrow. By accepting that we will sometimes get it wrong, we can allow ourselves to learn from and imagine new opportunities in the world of Geocaching. Our hope is we can take the lessons from Challenges and create better tools to guide you on your next adventure.
Hopefully they have learned a few lessons on what we want and don't want and maybe their next idea will be something that helps make the game even more enjoyable.

Consensus Report
Evaluation of the Health and Safety Risks of the New USAMRIID High Containment Facilities at Fort Detrick, Maryland (2010)Board on Life Sciences
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) is expanding its biocontainment facilities at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland. These facilities are used to study infectious agents (pathogens) that cause serious or potentially lethal diseases. At the request of Congress, this National Research Council report provides an independent review of the Environmental Impact Statement the Army prepared to meet regulatory requirement for expansion, which explores a range of possible consequences that could result from a mishap at the new facilities. The report finds several problems with the Environmental Impact Statement, including a failure to provide credible technical analyses and to consider all possible routes of exposure to the general public. However, the report's authoring committee concluded that current safety procedures and regulations at the facilities meet or exceed accepted standards, giving the committee a "high degree of confidence" that appropriate protections for workers and the public are in place. In going forward, the Army and USAMRIID should review their methods and procedures for preparing an Environmental Impact Statement, more actively train personnel regarding accountability and responsibility, and more proactively reach out to the local community to inform it of its safety and security policies and procedures and to design constructive approaches for communicating timely information should an adverse incident occur.

I'm about to share something really big. Today I found some shoes to fit that are fairly cute, fairly comfortable and very affordable.
I know I have some friends that are true shoe shoppers. Not me. I don't care about purses either. I'm just grateful to be able to afford both of them. I find both of them useful. Shoes are the most critically useful to me day in and day out.
Back in my late twenties a friend told me my shoes could use some work. I don't come from a fine boned people if you know what I mean. I shop on the larger and sometimes wider end of the shoe department. Comfort is key for me, and it has been incredibly hard to find. I can't image that my feet are a freak of nature, so the challenge has not been logical at all.
As I rolled from my roaring twenties to whatever the thirties are I decided that it was time to drop the shoe victim mentality and invest some time and money in the deal. So I got online, and I ordered some pricy shoes in various sizes. Wouldn't you know NONE of them worked! So, I returned them all.
Then Kohl's sent a coupon for $10 off of a $30 shoe purchase at the same time that I had some Kohl's cash to redeem. If not for this combination of events I certainly would've been too discouraged to even try on more shoes.
Then I accidentally stumbled upon the Sonoma brand of shoes. I don't even remember seeing those before. They've probably been there, the department experience has just been too traumatic to remember the details and still function in daily life.
If I had a dollar for every time I tell people at pork promotions that, "Eating properly cooked pork will change your life," well I'd have a lot of dollars. Quality pork can be found at nearly any local grocery. They key is how you handle it. I just feel like the shoe deal is more in the manufacturer's hands than mine. I'm hopeful that actually wearing these Sonoma shoes for more than 10 minutes will be as enjoyable as properly cooked pork!

Sharp Contrast: Simple White Bedding in Dark Rooms
There is something comforting about crisp white bed linens. They feel clean and fresh and literally resemble fluffy white clouds that invite deep sleep. But, a classic white bed can also be boring if not placed in the right design context. Dark walls provide a stark contrast that make white bedding look sophisticated and even bold.
There are practical reasons for white bedding that can rival its aesthetic appeal. If you're not afraid of using a bit of bleach, almost any stain can easily be erased with just one wash.
Also, a big white bed in the middle of a darker room can make a space look larger than it really is because the lightness draws the eye to the center of the room while the walls seem more recessed. Not to mention, darker walls can create an intimate and enclosed space that is more conducive to sleep than a bright bedroom. Although, this look probably works best in a room with ample light. There is certainly an incentive to avoid a bright light in the bedrooms of those who like to sleep-in beyond sunrise.

Unverified Voracity Bears No Ill Will Towards Bears
Unverified Voracity Bears No Ill Will Towards Bears
Pro combat. I have not linked any of the brilliant Pro Combat uniforms being proposed by BHGP yet. Let me correct that error now with the MSU edition:
I'll be on the floor over here trying to breathe for the next twenty minutes. Here's the Michigan edition, which is terrifying in its plausibility.
Down that path we should not tread… RossWB of BHGP takes down the 6-1-1 model currently on offer from the bigger and worser SEC:
There may be reasons to expand -- money, exposure, money, prestige, money -- but short of a radical transformation of college football scheduling (i.e., more conference games, fewer games with money-spinning non-conference patsies) the end result is going to be fewer games against the teams that (for the most part) we've been playing against for a century. Fewer games against the teams that we know, against the teams that we love to hate. The overall advantages of adding Nebraska (probably) outweighed the costs (although I'm still bitter about the damage it's wrought on the Iowa-Wisconsin rivalry), but expanding past 12 teams would effectively be splitting the league in two. We'd be two leagues under one roof, with a rich, intertwined, and shared history... but a future that would share little but revenue statements and logos.
I'm done caring about money. No one gets the money. It does not go to players, it mostly comes from fans who are finding out exactly how much they will spend on this stuff, and it's not helping the league in its effort to compete nationally.
Take your annual story about the 26 million dollars that's being distributed, which is up X percent from Y dollars last year, roll it up, and use it to spank yourself. You've been naughty, droid putting out story about X million dollars. None of that money goes to anything other than an ever-expanding cadre of athletic department marketers and facilities for minor sports I'm indifferent to. I don't care if the TV contract is bigger. I do care that they've taken the OSU game and made it a cross-division game because they think maybe they'll get lucky once a decade and get a little more money. Football programs are not publicly traded corporations.
…but Brady says we will anyway. Hoke's opinion of where it's going:
"I think really in about three years you'll see four super conferences, and I think the Big East will go away and maybe the ACC. But look, I'm just a coach. I don't know all of it."
The Big East has essentially already gone away, but I'm not sure how you get to the superconferences in the west. The Pac-12 would need to add Boise State and… then who? It seems like the best shot was annihilating the Big 12, leaving the SEC to pick up some pieces. Now you're talking about truly ludicrous geographic fits or extreme reaches on the part of the Big 12 and Pac-12.
Organizational side note. In the above post, Ross steals a Dawg Sports idea and suggests the Big Ten toss divisions entirely and instead play a schedule featuring three permanent rivalry opponents (Michigan's are MSU, OSU, and Minnesota) and rotate the other five games annually. The obvious problem with that is the NCAA's purposeless regulation dictating that championship games can only occur when your conference has two divisions in which everyone plays a round-robin.
If the Big Ten can work around that, it's interesting. The permanent opponents are not quite equitable—Minnesota's permanent rivals are Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan; Northwestern's are Illinois, Indiana, and Purdue—but it would mean Michigan would see the other opponents 5/8ths of the time (3/4ths if there was a ninth game) instead of the current system of playing some of the teams all of the time and others 40% of the time.
In the end, you cannot solve the problem without more games, as the SEC is finding out now…
So this is what things have come to.
@schadjoe LSU AD Joe Alleva said if Alabama wants to play Tennessee every year it could schedule a non-conference game
I wonder if Missouri's AD still has the same rosy thoughts about how everyone in the SEC operates with the mindset of what's in the best interest of the league.
I can't speak for him, but if I still give a shit about college football in five years, I'll be amazed.
…your choices are not playing the games, not playing the cupcakes, or coming up with a weird dynamic scheduling system. The guys in charge are going with door #1 because their brains are wired to believe they've got a quarterly report due Tuesday.
"That's mighty big of Jim Tressel" …is the perfect Get The Picture response to this:
A year later, Jim Tressel has no ill will toward Ohio State
In other news, Mike Leach has no ill will towards bears.
This is not fluff? I really thought this article on Michigan's drop-in with the Navy SEALs was going to be fluffy fluff fluff but it's actually a detailed look at what went on that is worth a read. Example:
"Are you a better leader today than you were a year ago?" Harden asked.
About halfway through the players' answers, Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson offered a surprising response.
"I feel like I haven't grown," Robinson said. "For me to be the quarterback at the University of Michigan, I feel like I have to grow up a lot and be a lot more accountable."
Also it seems like Michigan is taking advantage of a soon-to-be-closed loophole here, as Schlabach adds in a sidebar that…
Michigan football officials told ESPN.com that Big Ten Conference compliance officials cleared their football team's recent senior trip to California because it involved leadership and life skills, which is permissible under NCAA rules. The Wolverines paid for the trip through a special fund in the athletics department's operating budget.
…so okay at least some of the money is going towards life skilling the players.
BONUS! The ND series has taken a turn, hasn't it?
Crane, who is from Arizona and served three deployments to Iraq, admitted to the Wolverines that he's a Notre Dame fan.
"Unfortunately, my team is Notre Dame," Crane said. "You guys have hammered them over the years. I'll try not to take it out on you on Friday morning."
should have sent… a poet
You 14-year-olds have no idea how good you have it in re: ND. Not so much with the MSU. There's going to be a point four or five years in the future when the student body has an inexplicably strong hatred of MSU.
UPDATE! I still don't care about 2014 football recruiting.
Wat. Via Midnight Maize, you can own this:
Whatever it is.
Chesson! I'm totally spoiling the surprise on the MGoSleeper of the year by constantly talking about Jehu Chesson, but oh well. Meinke follows up with Chesson in the aftermath of his impressive track performances and gets this quote out of him:
"It could just be a placebo effect, but I feel I can break tackles better because I have a stronger core," he said.
This is an impressive level of introspection from a high school kid, one the other quotes reinforce. Fast, tall, smart, and wears cool shades: good package.
Etc.: The USA took it on the chin from Brazil last night but at least Clint Dempsey's bitch please face is operating at full capacity. A national treasure, Clint Dempsey. Buckeye fan tweets at LTT collected. Nick Saban gets snippy. Graham Watson wonders if bidding out the title game is a bad idea because it's tradition to get ripped off by useless dudes. Les Miles rages against the LSU-Florida crossover game.
The latest edition of NCAA lets you put Desmond Howard in an OSU uniform. In related news, this will be the fourth straight year I don't buy it. Derrick Walton highlights.

Sorry for the late post, but I was gone all morning and this computer is slow right now.
The Minifig Liberation Army summons its flyer in to strafe my troops, but it misses.
Their ground troops target my flyer but fail to pierce its frontal armor. Their Hero uses a Stupendous Feat to shoot out the engine, but he does no better.
The Black Hat Men call in their fighter, which fires two MKII rockets at my troops.
One of them comes close enough to kill my ninja. The other one misses.
The Black Hat hero uses a Stupendous Feat to shoot the Flamethrower Elf's fuel tank. If he succeeds, a substantial portion of the elves will go up in flames...
He misses, but the stray shot kills a rifleman.
The two bazooka men join the attack...
And a second riflemen goes down.
The remaining elves return fire, and the Black Hat hero is killed.
The Elves' fighter gets behind the UCD transport, but misses.
The aforementioned transport kills 3 of my troops with rockets.
The UCD soldiers join the fray...
And the minigunner goes down. My sniper is the only Elf ground unit left alive.

Seattle-based graphic designer and art director, Alicia Nammacher, invited photographer Kathryn Barnard into her natural habitat of a home where seashells are displayed in countless ways. You'll find them perched on ledges, filing vessels, hanging on walls, scattered in an unused fireplace...
Alicia and her husband Jeff collected the shells over many years traveling around the world, and they now create an easy, carefree theme in every room. Combining other natural elements and personal historic significance, the second image above features pieces of cork from vintage life vests that the deisgner uses as a bulletin board. The driftwood "starburst" above the fireplace was made by Jeff after two driftwood pieces washed up on their bulkhead during a winter storm.
Fitting their love of design and the PNW landscape, Alicia and Jeff also have three vacation rentals on Puget Sound in Seattle. Alicia says her "serious addiction to shells and the color palette and textures of ocean life can be seen throughout every unit."
Thanks, Alicia, Jeff, and Kathryn!

Although minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting showed growing concern among members about the central bank's bond-buying program, Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius told CNBC he expects quantitative easing to continue well into 2014.
"My expectation is QE is still going to run for a long time through 2013, even 2014 at a reduced pace," Hatzius said in a "Squawk on the Street" interview. "That obviously is only going to become clear over time and it's going to depend on the economic data."

Guam still facing ER burden despite public clinics
HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — Public health officials in Guam say a high number of people are still visiting the emergency room unnecessarily despite laws designed to drive them toward public health clinics.
Pacific Daily News reports (http://goo.gl/TJFfov ) about 70 percent of the 150 people who visit the emergency room each day aren't admitted to Guam Memorial Hospital.
"If the intent of the law was to take pressure off of the ER, it didn't work," Director James Gillan of the Department of Public Health and Social Services said.
A department report says many private clinics won't accept patients under Medicaid or the Medically Indigent Program. That means many people without private health insurance end up going to the emergency room.
The report says Medicaid patients are more than three times more likely to visit the emergency room than those who are privately insured.
The clinics can't provide urgent care services and aren't able to stay open 24 hours a day, said Joseph Verga, administrator for Guam Memorial Hospital.
Verga said most people go to the emergency room because the ER will see everyone in need, even if it's not an emergency or people can't pay.
"These are people who could have gone to a public health clinic rather than coming to the emergency room," Verga said.
The hospital is planning to build a new urgent care clinic thanks to a new law that funds the clinic with a new 4 percent tax on gambling revenue. The tax is expected to generate as much as $1.3 million per year.
A planning committee is expected to detail the cost and location of the clinic by Nov. 5.

Lindsay Lohan: Timing Wasn't Right for Barbara Walters Interview!
Lindsay Lohan keeps it elegant while attending the premiere of her new movie Liz & Dick held at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Tuesday (November 20) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Earlier in the night, the 26-year-old actress talked about why she cancelled her recent 20/20 interview with Barbara Walters during her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Lindsay Lohan
"It's just, the timing wasn't right, right now. I love her, and I'm a big fan of Barbara Walters. I met her when I was very young, and when it's right, she knows she'll be the first person I sit down with," Lindsay shared.
FYI: Lindsay is wearing a Donna Dashini gown, Nanzo Muzi shoes, and Vintage jewels at the premiere. Lindsay wore a Dion Lee dress, Christian Louboutin Shoes, and Cartier earrings at her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

MONTMELO, Spain: While Lewis Hamilton keeps an eye on Red Bull, teammate Nico Rosberg will be taking aim at his Mercedes teammate at the Spanish Grand Prix.
Rosberg leads Hamilton in the standings by four points. They have dominated Formula One with four wins in as many races heading into Sunday's event.
But Hamilton has forced Rosberg to settle for second place en route to sweeping the last three races.
"The result momentum is on his side and I need to turn that around," Rosberg said. "I am here to win in Barcelona, and try and extend the lead in the championship."
Hamilton, however, said he was staying focused on making sure the other leading teams didn't make up the gap on the Circuito de Barcelona-Catalunya.
"It depends on what steps they make, but Red Bull is in the back of my mind," Hamilton said. "They have a car with more downforce than us and that is good for this circuit."
The British driver added Ferrari's Fernando Alonso has "shown pace" with his third-place finish at the last race in China.
Hamilton and Rosberg agreed that the track could help other teams make headway because of its single long straightway, which will limit their ability to speed away.
"I also expect people to be a bit closer here," Rosberg said. "They have had time to develop, and engine power is not as important as in China."
Rosberg and Hamilton have been dueling since their days driving carts as youngsters, and their Silver Arrows have provided the most compelling competition this season as the rest of the field hasn't mustered the same pace to keep up.
Even so, Rosberg insisted there was no feuding between them, while Hamilton said they were both helping the team's engineers design a front-running car.
"We are very similar drivers, which is a good thing since we are pushing the car in the same direction," Hamilton said. "If I wanted to go one way and he another, it would make it difficult."

Ålgård is a small town and the administrative center for the Gjesdal municipality in Rogaland, Norway. It is approximately 25 km to the southeast of Stavanger. Gjesdal municipality with just over 10000 inhabitants is traditionally known for the sheep, that outnumber the municipalities population. The area includes Ålgård, Oftedal, Gilja, Dirdal and a number of smaller places, with a total area of 620 km2.
Get in[edit]
By train[edit]
It is currently not possible to get to Ålgård by train, but Ålgård did have a train station and the rail road was in use from 1924 until 1988. Recently, interest has been renewed to open the rail road once again, and various cost projections have been calculated; so far without any consequences.
By bus[edit]
You get to Ålgård by using bus 23 from Sandnes. Various bus stops can be used to get on or off the bus. The bus service is operated by Kolumbus. Signal the bus driver you want to get on the bus by waving and making eye contact.
By car[edit]
If you take the E39 from Stavanger and Sandnes to Kristiansand, you will automatically pass right through Ålgård. From Bryne in the south west, you can take road RV506 (Timeveien). The RV45 begins just east of Ålgård, and gets you to amonst others Byrkjedal and Sirdal.
By boat[edit]
You cannot reach Ålgård by boat, but you can reach Gjesdal municipality by boat, as the fjord 'Frafjord' up in the north of Gjesdal has a direct connection to the North Sea.
Get around[edit]
Ålgård is small enough to walk around and visit the main attractions. If you want to visit the other parts of Gjesdal, you should use a car or bike. Local taxi service is operated by Gjesdal Taxi with phone number +47 51610007.
See[edit][add listing]
Ålgård is rather small but has an interesting history, mainly focused around DFU, where local farmers could rent machines for spinning their wool. Today, a number of buildings from that era have been restaured and are in use, such as 'Storahuset' which houses the municipality administration, and 'Veveriet' which houses the local library. DFU is situated around the river Figgjo, which starts at Edlandsvannet. Other interesting places include the traditional farm Limagarden, amusement park Kongeparken [1] and water fall Månafossen.

Lecturers protest tax policy, irregular payment of salaries "For instance, a senior lecturer in OOU pays more tax than a professor at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNNAB)." Lecturers at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, OOU, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, on Monday staged a peaceful protest alleging arbitrary tax policy and irregular payment of salaries since 2011. The lecturers were seen carrying placards with various inscriptions chanting solidarity songs. Addressing journalists after the demonstration, Deji Agboola, the Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, OOU branch, decried what he described as haphazard payment of the salaries of his members in the past three years. He said that the irregular payment had made it difficult for the lecturers to plan and meet some financial obligations such as payment of rents and their children's school fees. "The astronomic and arbitrary tax policy to which our members are subjected has further pauperised them. "For instance, a senior lecturer in OOU pays more tax than a professor at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNNAB). "The deductions have failed to take cognisance of the Consolidated Peculiar University Academic Allowance (CONPUA),'' he said. Mr. Agboola alleged that the situation had persisted since 2011 in spite of several letters of appeal to State Internal Revenue Service and the, OOU management. The Chairman noted that such situation was capable of exposing his members to the temptation of unethical practises. He therefore appealed to Governor Ibikunle Amosun, to intervene in the matter urgently to save his members from their plight. Mr. Agboola, however, directed his members to boycott classes as from March 18 until their requests were addressed. The union also used the occasion to sensitise the students on their action and presented a letter of grievances to the Vice Chancellor, Saburi Adesanya, for onward transmission to the governor.

Profit or non-profit? Definitely for-profit! First, because the eBay founder Pierre Omidyar's track record (see this the New Inquiry article) shows a fierce appetite for profitable ventures. And second, because there no such thing as a free and independent media press without a strong business side: financial vulnerability is journalism's worst enemy, while profit breeds scalability. How to make money, then, with a narrow niche such as investigative journalism? Can Omidyar's venture move beyond the cross-subsidy system that powered legacy media for decades? This weekend, in a FT.com interview, Henry Blodget justified the deluge of eye-grabbing headlines spread over Business Insider by saying "The dining and motoring sections pay for the Iraq bureau"
For this, Omidyar can look at a wide set of choices: he could devise click-driven contents built on the proven high volume/cheap ads equation. Or he could opt for what I'll call the Porsche Model, one in which the most visible activity (in this case sports car manufacturing) brings only a marginal contribution to the P&L when compared to its financial activities: in 2009, Porsche made $1bn (£620m) in profit from car sales and almost $7bn betting on Volkswagen stock. More realistically, an endowment-like model sounds natural for a deep-pocketed investor like Omidyar. Most US universities are doing fine with that model: a large sum of money, the endowment, is invested and produces enough interest to run operations. One sure thing: if he really wants to go against big corporations and finance, to shield it from pressure, Omidyar should keep its business model disconnected from its editorial operation.
Investigative journalism is a field in which the subscription model can work. In France, the website Mediapart offers a credible example. Known for, among many others feats, its investigation of the budget minister's hidden Swiss bank account that led to his resignation, Mediapart maintains a newsroom of seasoned reporters working on hot topics. In five years, it collected close to 80,000 subscribers paying €9.90 per month; the website intends to make €6m (£5m) in revenue and a profit of €400,000 this year. Small amounts indeed, but not so bad for a market one-fifth the size of the US. Scaling up to the huge English-speaking market, and assuming that it will go for a global scope rather than a US-centric coverage, the Omidyar-Greenwald venture could shoot for 500,000 to 800,000 subscribers within a few years, achieving $40m to $60m in yearly revenue.
On the product side, the motto should be: try everything – on multiple segments and platforms.
Here is possible product-line structure:
Mobile should primarily be a news updating vector. In a developing story, say hearings on the NSA scandal, readers want quotes, live blogging, snapshots – all easy to grab while on the go. Addiction must be the goal.
Newsletters deserve particular attention. They remain an excellent vector to distribute news and a powerful traffic driver. But this requires two conditions: First, they must be carefully designed, written by human beings and not by robots. Second, they must be run like an e-commerce operation: a combination of mass emailing and heavy personalisation based on collected navigation data. For an editorial product, this means mapping out granular "semantic profiles" in order to serve users with tailored contents. If the Omidyar-Greenwald project lives up to its promise, it will deliver a regular stream of exclusive stuff. A cleverly engineered email system (both editorially and technically) stands good chances to become a must-read.
User profiling must allow the creation of several verticals. Judging who will join the venture from the first bylines (see article in CNet), the coverage intends to be broad: from national security to White House politics, sports issues (a sure click-bait), civil liberties, military affairs, etc. This justifies working on audience segmentation, as not everyone will be interested in the same subject. The same goes for social web extensions: the more segmented, the better.
Web TV. If you want to go beyond kittens or Nascar crashes, providing TV contents on the web is more difficult that it appears. But "programmes" available in Scandinavia show that, for developing stories, web TV can be a great substitute for conventional TV as it allows simultaneous coverage of multiple events. Nordic viewers love that.
Fact-checking. Since the Omidyar-Greenwald project is builtt on trust and transparency, it should consider launching the equivalent of politifact.com, a fact-checking website operated by the Tampa Bay Times, which landed a Pulitzer Prize in 2009. A vertical fact-checking site on national security, privacy and data protection issue would definitely be a hit.
Other languages. Going after the Chinese market could be hard to resist. According to Internet World Stats, it is by far the largest single market in the world with 538 million people connected to the web in 2012. For a media venture aimed at lifting the veil on corruption, China offers strong potential in itself. As far as evading censorship, it should be an appealing challenge for the squad of hackers hired by Omidyar-Greenwald.
A print version? Yes. It sounds weird, but I strongly believe that a well-designed weekly, large format (tabloid or Berliner), distributed on selected, affluent markets, would complete the product line. Print remains a vector of choice for specific, long-form readings, ambitious news scenographies with high-impact photographs, for an in-depth profile or a public interest story.
Global Thinking. Its potential for worldwide reach is one of this venture's most interesting factors. It will be of limited interest if it doesn't embrace a global approach to public interest journalism in large democracies but also in countries that are deprived of a free press (a long list). Creating a high standard, worldwide affiliation system to promote investigative journalism everywhere, regardless of the economic and political constraints, should definitely be on the founders' roadmap.

Commends governor and Legislature for meeting budget deadline
New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli released the following statement Friday:
"I commend Gov. Cuomo and the Legislature for the enactment of an on-time budget for the third consecutive year. This reflects an improved, more efficient process between the governor and the Legislature. Its passage demonstrates a willingness to address issues of keen importance to New Yorkers, including the minimum wage and education and health care funding.
"New York faces an ongoing challenge maintaining budget balance amid slow economic growth and tax revenue that persistently lags projections. The year ahead won't be an easy road.
"This budget does rely on significant non-recurring actions now and in the future. It also includes several new provisions that extend the state's reliance on public authority debt to meet the state's spending needs. New York's debt burden is among the highest in the nation, making the goals of meeting critical infrastructure needs while remaining within the state's debt caps more difficult.
"An agreement was reached on a program that gives local governments another option to contend with the recent spikes in pension costs. Building off the existing program, this new option will give local governments additional flexibility in budgeting and paying for pension costs without undermining the health of the pension fund.
"Necessary steps were taken to address some of the problems my auditors found with the STAR program, which should help eliminate abuse and errors. Unfortunately, not enough was done to increase oversight of the $2 billion special education program after a probe by my office uncovered widespread misuse of taxpayer monies by special education providers. This program remains ripe for continued abuse.
"Several provisions of this budget will have fiscal implications that will be felt well into the future. An honest and accurate accounting of the costs associated with the actions taken, along with realistic projections for revenue, is essential. My office has begun its detailed analysis of the 2013-14 enacted budget and will release its report soon."

The Early Days of a Retro Candy Bar
The history of the Abba-Zaba bar goes way back, all the way to 1922, to be exact. It was a different time, then. The first radio had just arrived at the White House, Egypt received independence from Great Britain, and a little candy company called Colby and McDermott was manufacturing a new kind of candy bar in Los Angeles, California.
What made this candy so special, you might ask? Well, it consisted of a white taffy exterior with a creamy peanut butter center. Known as the Abba-Zaba bar, this stick-to-your-teeth confection became a huge hit out west, where they still carry the biggest clout, today.
In The Spotlight
Anyone who loves the Abba-Zaba bar will recognize that black and yellow Taxi-cab-esque exterior. But are you familiar with the original wrapper scandal? Early Abba-Zaba wrappers from Colby & McDermott depict what appear to be African tribesmen in a jungle, sitting beside a taffy tree. And while this racially taboo packaging would never fly today, it didn't do the brand any damage when the candy first came out.
The Abba-Zaba bar has also made numerous TV and movie appearances in its sweet history, racking up quite a few screen creds- the most famous of which may be from its mention in the movie Half Baked.
Abba-Zaba Today
Over the years, manufacturing of the candy passed first to Cardinet Candy and then to Annabelle Candy Company in 1978. But despite frequent company changes, the original Abba-Zaba taste has remained the same.
Today, Annabelle Candy Company manufactures the Abba-Zaba bar in Hayward, California. The candy is Kosher pareve and is even available in new flavors. You can now get your Abba-Zaba fix with green-apple flavored taffy, or a chocolate, instead of peanut butter, filling.
And once you've gotten your hands on one, the choice is yours on how you want to enjoy it. Some say freezing them is the best way. Others say leaving them in a hot car does the trick. Either way, you're in for a treat.

Mick Jagger Teams Up With Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am for 'T.H.E. (Hardest Ever)'
Get ready to be hearing lots of 'T.H.E. (Hardest Ever),' a song off '#willpower,' the new solo album by singer Will.i.am of the pop group Black Eyed Peas. The track features none other than Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger singing a verse, plus additional vocals from pop artist Jennifer Lopez.
This tune is obviously targeted at fans of the Black Eyed Peas' distinct brand of quirky, glitzy, bass-thumping pop, and 'T.H.E. (Hardest Ever)' is definitely not a rock song. That said, we still can't help but wonder what Jagger was thinking in taking part in this monstrosity.
We don't expect his rapped vocals — "Hard like geometry / And trigonometry / This is crazy! / Psychology" amongst them — to be poetry, but the whole thing just seems ill conceived and overall pointless.
You may remember the Black Eyed Peas from this year's disappointing Super Bowl halftime show, after stellar halftime gigs in recent years from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and the Who. Slash also appeared with the Peas this year, but even the Guns N' Roses legend couldn't save that mess.
Jagger previously hooked up with U2 plus Will.i.am and Fergie of Black Eyed Peas as a surprise guest singer at the the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary Concert in New York, for a run through of the Stones classic, 'Gimme Shelter.' Watch video of that stellar performance here.
Come to think of it – that took place at the same show which featured Metallica and Lou Reed rocking together for the first time, on the Velvet Underground classic 'Sweet Jane.' It was that performance which inspired the combo's ill-fated 'Lulu.' Maybe those crazy Hall of Fame performances are more dangerous than we thought.
Listen to will.i.am's 'T.H.E (The Hardest Ever) (featuring Mick Jagger & Jennifer Lopez)' here:
