The name "Minimum Wage Media" says it all. Troubadour 1710 and Liberty & Justice 1640 were founded and financed on a shoestring by a busy, hard working, low income person.

President Obama and Congress: Enact a Basic Income for all Americans
Implementing a guaranteed Basic Income ("Social Security for All") would end poverty in the United States and provide a 21st-century social safety net to deal with looming widespread unemployment caused by advancing technology and trade policies that benefit only the top 1/10th of 1 percent. Income inequality in the United States has risen sharply in recent years and continues to get worse. Without serious intervention, we WILL face massive increases in poverty and civil unrest in the years ahead....READ MORE
Here we go again... another IP address change for the streams
5/14/16 The audio stream URL's for the two stations are now as follows:
Troubadour 1710:

Perhaps with the use of an alphabetical domain name, there will be fewer changes in the future if my provider has to switch to a server with a different IP address.
Please edit any audio player bookmarks with the new info. Zeno Phone has been updated and Tune In should be restored for device access by the time you read this.
Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience.
Prospects for buying a local, licensed radio station
9/23/15 During the spring months of 2015, I embarked upon a scheme to bring my hobby radio stations, Troubadour 1710 and Liberty & Justice 1640, to downtown areas of North Central Massachusetts and the Nashoba Valley through a network of micro AM transmitters. It quickly became evident, however, that this objective would require way too much work and persistence, with insignificant gains in visibility, listenership, and financial support. It was also a potential technical nightmare, keeping all transmitters on air on all sites in remote locations that I would have no control over and no way to monitor. Furthermore, paying a monthly rent to use a transmitter site was totally out of the question because I have, at the current time, absolutely no money. My living expenses have also gotten worse over the past few months, thanks mostly to the real estate industry, whose pathological greed knows no end... READ MORE
Troubadour frequency change to 1710 kHz pending
8/3/15 Sometime over the next several days, I will be experimenting with what will likely be a change in frequency for Troubadour from 1700 kHz to 1710 kHz. I now have the information I need from the transmitter manufacturer to move to that frequency. The new interference from WRCR is too great to tolerate indefinitely, so something has to be done. If all works well technically and the change is made, the station's branding and web address will remain "1700," although that may be a little confusing for people locally.
All AM radios designed and manufactured since the late 1980's should be able to tune 1710, along with the official expanded band which ends at 1700. Most antique radios built from the early 1930's to the early 1940's should also be able to tune the frequency if they are fully restored and aligned properly.
Currently, the only licensed stations operating at 1710 kHz are a network of 10 watt travelers information stations serving Hudson County, New Jersey. The FCC does not grant operation to any licensed facility on 1710, and those New Jersey TIS stations are there only through a rare waiver. For this reason, Part 15 broadcasters have been trying to get 1710 kHz recognized, either officially or unofficially, as a safe haven for Part 15 radio.
The prospects for full range reception on 1710 kHz should be even better than they were on 1700 before the appearance of WRCR.

Liberty & Justice 1640 is a service of Minimum Wage Media
Minimum Wage Media is a insurgent broadcasting effort named in honor of starving artists and the working poor - those who are prevented from reaching their full potential due to the vicious cycle of poverty, debt and overwork. We seek to expose and shame the powerful elites and status quo enforcers who exploit us, and build a culture based upon consensus, peace, respect, equal economic opportunity (with the eventual elimination of money altogether), and a reverence for nature, natural law, and natural health.
The micro stations of Minimum Wage Media are a project of Jeffrey Gill whose radio background includes folkimage.com, Walden 1120 (WADN), WCMX, WCAV, and WDLW.

Publisher's Description
Mental illness, when untreated, can feel like imprisonment. This book was written to give hope to those suffering from mental illness and more specifically bipolar disorder. The struggles associated with this condition are not isolated and often create a frightening halo effect that impacts parents and other family members trying to care for a loved one who is suffering. The main purpose of this book is to offer knowledge, insight, and guidance to people and the families who support them by witnessing an intense, frightening, and ultimately joyful journey with bipolar.
We dont go through hell and back without a good reason, and I recently felt my story needed to be shared. One binding thread throughout my book is that although the mind is very strong, Gods love and will are much stronger.
I am now a happy, healthy, married mom with three beautiful children. I have been an elementary teacher for the last seventeen years and have not required major interventions or hospitalization for twenty-five years. My story can educate and offer hope to those who are struggling with bipolar disorder and want to re-establish equilibrium in their lives and the lives of those they love.

NDTAC's Greta Colombi provided an overview of the essential elements of mentoring programs generally as well as for youth who are neglected and delinquent.
The Aftercare for Indiana Through Mentoring (AIM) Program:
Research has demonstrated that adolescents with at least one high-quality supportive relationship with an adult are twice as likely as other youth to be economically self-sufficient, have healthy family and social relationships, and be productively involved in their communities (Gambone, Klem, & Connell, 2002). Unfortunately, at-risk youth and youthful offenders often have limited contact with positive adult role models with whom they can form and sustain meaningful relationships (Jones-Brown & Henriques, 1997).
Motivating youth involved with the juvenile justice system is an important factor in reducing recidivism. How can facilities, agencies, and others in the community help these youth develop and sustain the motivation to succeed? In NDTAC's Webinar, participants heard the perspectives of youth who were once involved in the deep end of the criminal justice system but now serve as role models for others. Dan DeLucey and Reginald Dwayne Betts shared their journeys and identified strategies that motivated them and other system-involved youth to rewrite their stories.
This section includes information on a variety of areas related to teaching and learning in settings for youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at risk, including instruction within the content areas, teacher recruitment, retention and professional development, academic support services, and serving youth with special needs.
NDTAC serves as a national resource center to provide direct assistance to States, schools, communities, and parents seeking information on the education of children and youth who are considered neglect, delinquent, or at-risk.
NDTAC's first event in the N&D InFocus series, Educational Experiences of Children and Youth in the Child Welfare System, examined the educational experiences of children and youth involved with the child welfare system and highlight the work of systems around the country striving to foster better educational outcomes for these young people.
Transition Toolkit 2.0: Meeting the Educational Needs of Youth Exposed to the Juvenile Justice SystemThe second edition of NDTAC's Transition Toolkit brings together strategies, existing practices, and updated resources and documents on transition to enable administrators and service providers to provide high-quality transition services for children and youth moving into, through, and out of education programs within the juvenile justice system. The toolkit is organized into seven sections and an appendix (individual PDFs), as listed below. In each section, strategies specific to innovative practices, records transfer, and family involvement are presented.

Inverness have already claimed bragging rights with victory both in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League and the William Hill Scottish Cup, with two games drawn. The latest meeting ended goalless, a result which Caley Thistle manager Terry Butcher described as two good points for the Highlands after County had joined his side in the top four.
Both sides look set to battle for a European spot but they have still to secure a top-six place and with seventh-placed Dundee United at home to bottom club Dundee on Sunday, Munro admits both sides might be looking over their shoulder. He said: "There have been some great games but we've lost a few of them which is not great, so it's something we want to put right."
Munro continuted: "But with Inverness being at home you would expect them to be favourites on their home patch. Every game both teams will be going out for the win with both teams having in the back of their minds that if they lose the game it will be a dent in their hopes of getting a top-six place."
The defender added: "Neither team will want to lose any ground on each other and there's the top six to aim for as well. It's getting closer, you can almost reach it now.
"Both Inverness and Ross County have had a remarkable season so far but there's still plenty more points to play for. Both sides' target is to get a top-six finish and we play each other on Saturday so something's got to give or it's going to be a stalemate again."
County's debut season in the SPL has exceeded all realistic expectations. And Munro, who played 380 times for Inverness, knows full well what achieving top-six status would mean to both Highland clubs.
"It will be fantastic for myself personally and for Ross County it would be unbelievable," he said. "Inverness have missed out a few times and on the last day when I was there. It would be a remarkable achievement for both clubs."
The Staggies are aiming to build on their 3-2 comeback win over Celtic and extend their unbeaten run to 12 matches but Munro knows there will be an element of unpredictability.
"With a derby match form goes out of the window, it's a toss of a coin of who is going to win and it's great that way that it's on a knife edge with what's at stake with the split being so close now," he said.

The Syracuse Go Club had its largest turnout ever for a weekly meeting on Monday, June 13, when 14-year-old Zhangbokan "Tony" Tang 7d played a simul against all comers. Tang, recent winner of the Maryland Open, faced 17 opponents, giving handicaps ranging from 4 stones (for 1 dan players) to 13 (for 20 kyus) — seven other players chose to watch. Only three of his opponents emerged victorious, but a good time was had by all. Tang, who is staying with a host family in Syracuse for three more years until he finishes high school, is about to return to China to visit his family for a few weeks, but he will be returning in time for the US Go Congress, accompanied by his teacher Weijei Jiang 9P.

Redmond Responds: "Andrew Feenberg (Rational Play? The Master of Go vs. AlphaGo) clearly knows his stuff," writes Michael Redmond 9P, "but I think it's confusing that he leaves the challenger's name as Otake. I was told that Kawabata just happened to choose that name, and it probably has nothing to do with Otake Hideo, who was a young player at the time. The challenger was Kitani Minoru, of course." Redmond adds that he disagrees with Feenberg's comment that "in the case of the actual match the inferior player wins through manipulating the new meta-rules and upsetting his adversary rather than through superior play." Redmond says that "I would not call Kitani or AlphaGo the inferior player," and adds that "I think most pros would agree with me when I say it was Honinbo Shusai who tended to manipulate the old traditions to take more advantage than any of his predecessors did. The new rules were in part an attempt to keep the match fair."
Feenberg Strikes a Chord: "Andrew Feenberg's article, Rational Play? The Master of Go vs. AlphaGo, struck a chord in me," writes Joel Sanet. "I can remember decades ago feeling great admiration for Otake Hideo when he said that he would rather lose the game than play an ugly move. Today I am learning how useful the empty triangle can be."

The tournament took place June 5-8 in Wuxi, a city of six million located slightly northwest of Shanghai. Full results here. Click here for more WAGC reports on Ranka.
"In the 1949 movie 'Stray Dog' Toshiro Mifune plays a homicide detective looking a criminal," writes David Matson. "Ten minutes before the end he scans a room for suspects. The two men who best fit the description are both in their late 20′s, wearing white linen suits and white hats with wide black bands. Both men are reading newspapers. One man has an open-collared white dress shirt with no tie, sunglasses and a watch on his left wrist. The other has a crew-neck sweater with horizontal stripes. I watched this on Hulu, viewed on a small laptop, but I think both newspapers showed go game diagrams (different games)."

by Dai Junfu, France's representative at the 2016 World Amateur Go Championships (WAGC).
It is a strange and very bitter feeling. I finished in 9th place at the 37th WAGC, a very disappointing result. Before the tournament, many people close to me said that I had the level to take 3rd place, and with luck, that I could finish even higher on the podium. Even myself, I had the same illusion, because Satoshi Hiraoka, the representative of Japan and twice winner of the WAGC, had been defeated by players from Europe, but I had never lost against a European. In the end, my sense of pride and lack of practice cost me dearly.
I had quite a difficult draw, because at the end I had the third highest SOS despite my three defeats. Starting from the third round, my opponents where all higher than 6-dan, excepting the final round. After having beaten the USA's Benjamin Lockhart (7-dan), I was drawn against the winner of the tournament, China's Bai Baoxiang, in the 4th round. He is considered to be one of four titans of amateur go in China, and his level is at least 4 or 5 professional dan. He turned down many chances to become a professional because he makes a good living from the many amateur tournament in China which have high prize pools. I tried with everything, but he had a solid victory without leaving me the slightest chance. It was the first time in 10 years that I had the feeling of losing a game without creating any problems for my opponent. Very sad. For the 5th round, my opponent was the player from Hong Kong (6-dan). He took a lot of territory but was unable to resist my attacks. With 4 wins from 5, I regained my confidence and was on track for a podium finish.
The turning point came in the 6th round. After losing to Taiwan, Japan's Satoshi was without any significant victory. I was convinced that I was bound to defeat him, and that he would undoubtably make some blunder and I would have an easy win. In the game, my play was completely unbalanced. I could not recognise myself. I started to wake up when he had almost enclosed his gigantic moyo. Despite my tesuji in his centre, contrary to my illusions, he responded well and I was lost. Later, Mr Satoshi lost by not more that 2.5 points against Bai Baoxing because of bad yose. Actually, he is very strong. If I had appreciated his level, then I would have played differently against him in my game! After this defeat, I had said goodbye to the podium.
Round 7, is the game against my old friend Cristian Pop (7-dan) from Romania. Cristian made his usual moyo but I brought the game under my control. Then, at the crucial junction, I played the losing move, an instinctive play without a second of reflexion. Cristian took advantage of a ko and a good threat to take back control of the game. The last round was against a Belgian player and I won easily. Thanks to my high SOS, I took the 9th place but it was really a mediocre result and I felt a little ashamed. After the championship, I had the impression that the level of amateur players had progressed globally. The European players also had very good results. Notably the Ukrainian Andrii Kravets took 4th place ahead of Japan.
Even if it was a disappointing tournament for me, I met many new friends from all around the world. Notably I established a good relationship with the administration of the IGF. I hope that I can contribute more to the development of Go in the world because of my ability with languages (Chinese, French, English and a little Japanese). I hope that I can train a little more so as not to drop down in level, and I hope to make a better result if I am able to represent France again.

More AlphaGo effect: "My uncle teaches math at Colorado Mesa University and asked me to give a presentation about go and AlphaGo," writes Sirocco Fury Hamada. "Dr. Edward Bonan-Hamada's mathematical modeling class at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, CO is interested in mathematically modeling human reasoning. He asked me to teach his students about go so they could understand it and think about the math behind AlphaGo. It was a small class, just seven students, but they asked great questions and are very interested in go now. A lot of them expressed interest in wanting to learn more about it and playing it online or with each other. AlphaGo is creating interest in go in unusual (or not) places!"Go classifieds work: "The classified ad you ran for me (books, semiprecious stones, and kaya bowls for sale) was an unqualified success," writes Donald Garratt. "All the items have been sold! Thank you. I will contact you in the future when I am ready to sell some more go equipment." Go Classified ads are free; email us at email@example.com

This is the story of two go matches. In March, Google's artificial intelligence computer AlphaGo defeated world champion Lee Sedol 9P 4-1. This is considered a great triumph for artificial intelligence. Does it mean that AI is almost human? Or that humans have simply become machine-like? Another historic match in 1938 provides some useful perspective.
Games are ambiguous phenomena. On the one hand they are models of rationality. There are unambiguous rules, actions, and measures of success and failure. On the other hand games are social events, collaborative performances governed by meta-rules such as sportsmanship that contextualize the play. The players need each other in order to perform. They produce an object together through their combined efforts. The effect of this activity is to contribute to their own personal development as human beings. And we often qualify the product of their activity in aesthetic terms: a beautiful play in football for example.
Rationality as found in games is also a general attribute of the culture of modern societies. Modern societies contain many game like systems. Individuals act as players in these systems in order to get a raise, get a job, learn new skills, take a plane, avoid paying taxes, and so on. Thus games can appear as models of modernity and what happens with games can tell us something about what happens in modern societies in general.
This is why the Nobel prize-winning Japanese author Kawabata chose the game of go for one of his most famous novels. "The Master of Go" is based on a real match that Kawabata witnessed as a newspaperman in 1938. This was the last match of the old master Shusai and his challenger, called Otake in the novel. Each player represents an era. The old master represents traditional play, while his challenger represents modernized play, influenced by Western ideas. Traditional play is all about the human side of the game, deference, the notion of way or vocation as practiced in Japanese martial arts for example, and beauty, the beauty of the moves and the board as the game evolves. Modernity is about winning. Just that.
The novel recounts the game's play as it reveals the characters and the historical background. The whole intrigue centers on a single move in the game, move 121. The reason this move is so important has to do with Western innovations introduced by the challenger and favored by the newspapers. In the old days the master would have regulated the flow of play, deciding when to start and end each day's session. But the 1938 match was organized around time limits and sealed moves at the end of the day as in Western chess. Of course players are equal in the game play, but the traditional way of playing recognized the differences between the players in the world outside the game. Now the equalization internal to the game was being extended outward into the world of play. One can see how this might appeal to the challenger and to the newspapers, both of whom would prefer not to be subject to the whims of the old master. To the old master it seemed a lack of due deference.
As it happened, the challenger began to run out of time toward the middle of the game. To gain time to reflect on a difficult position in the center of the board he sealed a final move off in a corner. This trivial move required the master to respond away from the central struggle. The manipulation implied in this use of the time limits and sealed moves upset the master. He was offended and said that the beauty of the game was lost. As a result he made several mistakes and the challenger won. Modernity triumphs over tradition. But we are left with the clear impression that the old master was the better player of the two.
Kawabata wrote after World War II that he would only write elegies, elegies for the lost beauty of the old Japan. The novel is obviously a critique of modernization. But note that it is not about the contrast between rational modernity and the irrational tradition. There is nothing strategically irrational or inferior about the old master's play. So the contrast of modernization and tradition is not about strategic rationality vs. irrational sentimentality. It is about the place of strategic rationality in the real world. Tradition is a set of meta-rules that contextualize and organize the rationalized sectors of social life such as games. Modernity extends the rationality of games into the real world. This has counterintuitive consequences. For example, in the case of the actual match the inferior player wins through manipulating the new meta-rules and upsetting his adversary rather than through superior play.
Here is the how Kawabata described his elegy for traditional go: "It may be said that the master was plagued in his last match by modern rationalism, to which fussy rules were everything, from which all the grace and elegance of go as art had disappeared, which quite dispensed with respect for elders and attached no importance to mutual respect as human beings. From the way of go the beauty of Japan and the Orient had fled."
The losers of the two matches were Shusai and Lee Sedol. The winners were Otaké and AlphaGo. What do they have in common? If we understand games in all their ambiguity as both strategic exercises, rational systems, and also ways of self development and aesthetic achievement, then I would suggest that their reduction to mere winning is a disaster. The matches reveal the limits of modernity as a way of understanding and organizing human life. In reorganizing the social world around strategic rationality, modernity prepares the triumph of the machine.
This essay is based on a talk presented at the McLuhan Centre at the University of Toronto in early March. It has been condensed and updated. Feenberg has written extensively about Kawabata's novel previously in his book Alternative Modernity.
"I just listened to one of my favorite podcasts called Freakonomics Radio with Steven Dubner," writes Aaron Murg. The title of this episode is called "How to Win Games and Beat People," and it is all about board games. In it, they interview a board game historian who mentions go within the first 5 minutes! The podcast would be very interesting to any board game player and informational as to the economics of board games.

Slate & Shell has just re-issued Yilun Yang's "Whole Board Thinking in Joseki Volume 2." Long out of print, this is a continuation of Mr. Yang's exploration of joseki, written in collaboration with former AGA president Phil Straus. "The title of this book is a bit misleading," notes Slate & Shell. "It does not aim to teach you josekis. It aims to teach you how to decide which joseki to use in a particular situation (assuming you know the relevant josekis). So what it is really about is judging how to play in the early opening. To narrow down this enormous topic and provide a very thorough treatment of it, Yang focuses on situations in which a few opening moves have been made, including in all four corners, and your opponent has approached your 3-4 stone in one corner. The issue is how should you respond: by settling the corner, trying to get out (in the proper direction), or attacking from the outside. It depends on the rest of the board, of course, and this book shows you how to determine the correct response in terms of the whole board situation. This is very useful knowledge even if your understanding of how to achieve the correct goal in that situation is somewhat limited. At least you will know what you should try to do instead of just guessing the proper continuation." 181 pages, $26

Philadelphia-area go players will want to check out the interesting and unusual go and music event scheduled for this Sunday, June 12. "Introduction to Applied Go Studies" is a day-long workshop in which participants will learn how to play the game, "and we will ask if music, art, improvisation, or philosophy has anything to learn from Go," say organizers. "What bridges can be built? And which models will we smuggle across?"
The event runs from 12-8pm at the University Arts League, 4226 Spruce Street, and is being put together by Penn Go Society club member Quinn Dougherty. RSVP on Facebook here or to firstname.lastname@example.com. Dougherty can be reached for further inquiries at email@example.com or 484 883 9487.
More than 30 participants turned out for the June 5 tournament sponsored by the Huaxia Chinese School of Greater New York held at White Plains High School, NY. Go players came from various cities in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut for the first AGA-rated tournament organized by Leon Lei and Jie Tang. Attendees included children 6-12 and go students from the Chinese school who competed in a casual round-robin tournament while adults (AGA members) played in rated games.
The tournament featured a special guest, Matthew Hu 2P from California. Along with Yingshyan Ku 3k, the two of them gave a presentation on the highlights of the Lee Sedol v. Alpha Go games. Hu also played simultaneous games with students of the Huaxia Chinese School.
"The tournament was a great success, and there are plans to host another tournament in the Tri-State Area next year," reports organizer Leon Lei. "The attendees provided positive feedback on their experiences and appreciated the opportunity to play go at this convenient location."

Park Junghwan 9p and Lee Sedol 9p face off tonight in the first game of a best of three for the quarterfinals of the 8th Ing Cup Professional. Myungwan Kim 9p will give his commentary on the AGA YouTube channel starting at 8 p.m. PDT tonight, hosted by Andrew Jackson. After the Ing match, probably around 11pm, if time permits, Myungwan and Andrew will continue with the final match of 6th 黄龙士双登杯 (HuangLongShi ShuangDengBei), the Nongshim Cup for women. The final players are Choi Jung 6p of Korea and Wu Zhiying 5p of China. Both of them are the strongest women professionals in their country and whoever wins will bring the trophy home.
Making good on their promise to support both go and educational initiatives, the developers of AlphaGo Monday announced the division of the $1 million prize fund they won in March's historic match with Lee Sedol 9p, including grants to both the American Go Association and the American Go Foundation.
"Pleased to confirm the recipients of the #AlphaGo $1m prize! @UNICEF_uk, @CodeClub, and the American, European and Korean Go associations," tweeted DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis. "@theaga, EGF and KBA will use the #AlphaGo donation to raise awareness of Go worldwide and encourage participation especially at youth level."
The biggest recipient, UNICEF UK, will receive $450,000 to support global education work including girls' education and gender equality, while $100,000 will be granted to Code Club UK for the creation of more clubs around the world for children to learn to program. The go community grant is $150,000 each to European Go Federation, the Korea Baduk Association and the American go entities. The AGF will receive $60,000 and the AGA $90,000, DeepMind said.
"It has become clear that the AlphaGo match was the biggest promotional boost the game of go has received in many years, and most of the credit for that is due to DeepMind's people and how hard they worked from the start to make sure the match gave the widest and most positive exposure possible to the game," said AGA President Andy Okun. "The announcement of these grants shows they are continuing that good work. I am happy to express to them the thanks of our whole North American go community for the love and respect they have shown for the game."
"Go is good for kids and the Google grant will help us reach and teach more of them. Broaden the base!" said AGF President Terry Benson.
AGA's proposal to DeepMind was to use the AGA grant as the basis of a North American pro championship tournament over six years, and for AGF to use the grant to explore methods of more effectively spreading go in schools, said Okun.

They protrayed these as something of value and a great investment. I recently inquired about the value of them, to only find out that they are worth nothing. I became upset over this, because I can not believe these people can go on TV, and scam people in to believing they are purchasing something of value. Not only that, but a commemorative coin that symbolizes such a horrific tragedy against Americans. I also felt good, that they were suppose to be donating some of the money to the 9/11 families, which I am not sure even happened. I would like to know how I can go about getting my money back on these coins? I am so disgusted over this whole situation, that I was scammed by this people. How are these people still selling these coins and anything else they have? Thank you for listening and I hope you can help me settle this matter.

I"m also not sure how you came to the conclusion they are worthless. They are made of 24k gold and .999 pure silver. That would give them value just on the metal used to make them. Also, as a collector's item they have value. That all depends on how in demand they are and how rare they are. They sell them as collector's items, not as US currency. It if states on their website that the coins have no monetary value.

Whilst I am not a fan of super rich Man City- That was an impressive win away at Bayern and after conceding an early goal and then another shortly after. To come back for a 2-3 win was indeed impressive.
It must be a very frustrating time being a Man City fan. The quality on the pitch/bench and beyond is almost second to none, yet they have fallen flat on their faces time and again in Europe and let a Man U side that didn't deserve to win the league run away with it when they should have defended their title.
OK, this proves what all M City fans know and that is they can beat anyone home or away but in terms of under achieving with what they have, M City must be the biggest culprits.
Arsenal have brought back an old player on the cheap and made one big signing, so to be away clear at the top is actually an over achievement at this stage. Chelsea are regrouping and are under achieving a little at present. Liverpool are in my opinion doing better than they should. Yes Suarez and Coutinho are great but there are many very weak areas. Everton are around where they should be with that team.
OH, forgot Spurs. Maybe Spurs can give M City a run for their money in the should do better stakes!
Anyway. Bring on Napoli.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - District 51 high school students were honored Monday for their academic achievements.
At the 8th Annual Superintendent's Luncheon, 84 seniors were recognized for accomplishing a cumulative 4.0 or better GPA during their four years in high school.
District officials say considering the amount of effort these students put in the classroom, an awards lunch was much deserved.
"I put in a lot of extra effort. I've been involved in many other school activities. And it was important for me to not only be in school, but also been in as many school activities as possible," says Rebecca Singley, Central High School senior.
For their efforts, students from all four District 51 high schools were honored with a plaque and picture with Superintendent Steven Schultz.

Asian Tribune is published by World Institute For Asian Studies|Powered by WIAS Vol. 12 No. 1590
A controversy has broken out after skimpily-dressed dancing girls performed at a Trinamool Congress foundation day function at Bhangar in South 24 Parganas district with TMC leader Mir Tahir Ali allegedly showering money on them.
Police stopped the function after midnight last night.
The Trinamool Congress on Wednesday condemned and suspended the leaders and activists who were caught on camera heckling and throwing money at hired women dancers at one of its founding day celebrations.
TMC leader and spokesman Derek O'Brien said that a disciplinary committee may even consider sacking the persons involved from the party.
"One of the celebration events obviously went wrong. We condemn what happened. We need to find out who these people are, whether TMC workers or others. What happened last night was condemnable," O'Brien said.
"The TMC does not approve such events. We will get to the bottom of this. We will take appropriate action. There is absolutely zero tolerance on such matters. We have sent a team on the ground to find out," he added.
He also said there was no need for West Bengal Chief Minister and party president Mamata Banerjee to offer an apology for some of its party workers taking part in function in which women dancers were hired to perform an alleged erotic dance.
District-level TMC leaders and activists were caught on television throwing money on the hired women dancers during the function on Tuesday, leaving the party leadership embarassed.
The function was organised by Trinamool Congress district level leaders in Bhangore, near Kolkata. Trinamool zila parishad member Meer Taheer Ali is widely believed to have arranged the women dancers for the celebrations that took place right opposite the local police station.

Right before the 1 year warranty expired,the charger stopped plugging in, I sent to HP, they kept for 4 weeks and guess what the warranty expired,so they wanted to fix for $380.00 I knew I had the other warranty and said no thanks.Please send back,so they did!
I called Wal-Mart warranty and they said they would send me out a box and hook me up with a company called micro medics. I get the box and packaged as indicated,and sent it off.I also took a picture of this before I sent it off...
I waited a few days and called and they said it had been received as soon as the warranty co approved they would fix it.I called everyday and finally got a gentleman who said it was approved and will be fixed in 3-4 days. [continued below]....
A week later,still no computer..call again was told,oh ummm it was denied,call your warranty company.
I call the warranty company who says, NO ITS NOT US, I will call Micro Medics and see what the deal is. The warranty company calls me back and says,"it was denied because they are saying you packaged it wrong". I say,"oh you want pictures" He is like ,"yes sure send them" So he gives me an email address and I send. He calls me back within an hour and says ,"that is a different computer and box then micro medics sent me,are you sure that is not what you sent HP" I say no sir that is EXACTALLY what I sent to them!!
He says well we can not do anything to help you because they have pictures!What about MY PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!Guess it doesnt matter!

Outlook 2013
Slowly but surely, progress is being made on the creation of online identification and authentication systems that will meet the needs of federal agencies and commercial entities.
That progress is a result of the Obama administration's National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), which launched in April 2011. NSTIC's recently formed Identity Ecosystem Steering Group, which is federally funded but led by the private sector, is seeking to set standards for identity management systems across multiple platforms.
After the group gathered for a second time in December 2012, Aaron Titus, chief privacy officer at Identity Finder and the group's Management Council delegate for privacy and civil liberties, said its preliminary progress in developing standards and use cases is promising.
Read the other stories in our Outlook 2013 feature package. Click here.
In the past year, NSTIC has developed a standard identity management scheme that consists of seven requirements. It recently conducted three pilot projects to test privacy-enhancing cryptography and two projects that use non-cryptographic privacy features; it plans to analyze the results in the coming year. "That's where the ID world is going right now — toward identity ecosystems," Titus said.
In such an ecosystem, a person who logs onto a social media site or online bank account would be authenticated by a trusted identity provider in accordance with NSTIC's seven requirements, while the user's privacy remains protected.
Roadblocks include the cost for providers and inconvenience for users, but Titus said the increase in the incidence and cost of identity theft — for individuals and businesses — could be a powerful motivator for speeding up the process.
"It is easier than ever to commit ID theft," Titus said. And as users' online identities become more interconnected, the ease with which a criminal can turn a hacked Facebook account into control over a user's bank accounts is on the rise.
Accordingly, organizations are beginning to realize that basic credentials such as passwords aren't secure enough anymore, said Ray Wizbowski, vice president of strategic marketing at Gemalto.
"If you take a step back and look at what is happening with NSTIC, there is a mass movement across even social networking sites away from basic credentials to secure credentials," Wizbowski said. "That is the mega-trend for the next year."
Tom Flynn, vice president of online authentication at Gemalto North America, said 2013 will likely see federal agencies move toward digital data control, with biometrics and cryptographic authentication likely methods that could drive federal policy.
"The process of vetting IDs is going to evolve," Flynn said. "The way things are moving, you will see organizations ramping up funding for proper technology in doors, networks and mobile devices."
Mobile technology will be less of an afterthought in ID management in 2013, he added, noting that "mobile as an authenticator [and] mobile as a derived credential holder" are conversations that are already happening.
The question that many would like to see answered in 2013 is whether federal agencies will lead or follow the commercial world in terms of ID management. How the federal government gets involved in privacy and security standards and requirements will be a key factor in what happens in the coming year in ID management.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Biometrics is a no-go for mass-scale authentication. The technical challenges can be overcome, but not the fundamental and human one - revocation. Most certs (drivers license, credit card, PKI, etc.) come with an expiration date and often have a CRL. Once the digital format of your characteristic is compromised, how do you revoke it? Laser-surgery your eyes, carve your finger-prints up, start walking with a limp? In a very small community, you could wipe and reset... in the real, wide world clean-up and replacement is practically impossible.
The no-brainer solution is to make all drivers licenses / State IDs and passport (cards, not the paper ones) smartcards. The Govt already provides you ID.... it can just do the same in a digital, PKI format. Once cards are widespread, companies across the spectrum will start adding the server-side capability to use PKI. Its not perfect (ref Secrets & Lies (2004) by Bruce Schneier) but it far better than most folks using "123456"
Based on what I've seen in govt IT over the past 15 years, we'd better follow industry. They know what they're doing and have a lot to lose if they mess up. If the govt messes up and someone loses their identity, hey an individual can't sue the govt and win. We don't have the talent to do this right nor can we pay todo it right. Sounds like just another program and all it takes is throwing lots and lots of money at a contractor to make "it" happen. No problem.

33 logos seen in the first 33 minutes of my day. Like a glimpse in time. The original idea was to show logos through 24 hours, but that would mean a lot of scrolling.
At this stage I'd still not be dressed for work, and I've just finished the morning shower. 33 minutes after waking and I'm already exposed to a large number of brands.
Others showing their logo timelines
This post was inspired by Jane's fun with brands. Thanks Jane.
Some others are also using logos to represent their days:
- Sander's 14 logos in 14 minutes
- Cat's branding before breakfast
- Alan's brand day: morning edition
- Anna's day in brands
- Vivien's brandwashed in 8 minutes
- Afsin's 12 logos in 12 minutes
- Aaron's 13 logos and brands without moving a muscle
- Daniel's day in brands
- Rafie's 10 logos as you open my door
- Fox's brand name day
- adhack's Friday in brands
- Doug's what time is your brand?
- ADCD's brands you encounter
- Rod's brand timeline
- Phil's where we encounter brands
- E.K.'s brand new day
- David's day in the life of gen Y
- Mike's brand timeline portrait
- Dehog's day in brands and logos
- Beyond Rivalry's brand timeline portrait
- Tracie's branding iron
What does your timeline look like? It doesn't have to be an entire day, maybe just the journey to work, preparing dinner, 10 logos in 10 minutes, etc.). Mention your post in a comment and I'll add a link above.

While organising the distribution of clothing and food in the Rhondda, several prominent Quakers, including Emma Noble, of Swindon, Wiltshire, became convinced of the need for a more permanent form of help to the area. Through the autumn and winter of 1926-1927, the idea rapidly developed to establish a Quaker Social Settlement. A large Victorian house, Maes-yr-haf, was purchased at Trealaw, near Tonypandy. The first Wardens of the Settlement, William and Emma Noble of Swindon, moved into Maes-yr-haf in April 1927; they were to remain there until 1945. As direct relief work, distributing food and clothing, came to an end, the Maes-yr-haf Settlement developed as an educational and social centre. The Settlement ran a wide range of classes for the unemployed, from 'moral philosophy' to more practical boot repairing centres..............................................."

After 2-3 weeks using D100, I found that the AF result is great in close up and medium close up. Other than that is not very satisfactory. I'm using it 70% in studio so I can have aperture 11 and speed of 160. But still the close up pictures gave me satisfaction. While the pictures of 2-3 person will not come that sharp. I have to unsharp mask, and get the sharpness and the noise too.
I shoot RAW and the AF is set to single.
Anyone experience this?
PS. I'm willing to do manual focusing, but as my experience with F5 I used the AF 90% of the times. And nothing happened like this.

#1. "RE: D100 AF" | In response to Reply # 0AlanC Basic MemberSun 01-Dec-02 06:09 PM
I can think of two possibilities here: firstly there could be something wrong with your cameras autofocus, and secondly there could be something wrong with the lens. If you're getting the same results with all your lenses then the problem will be in the camera; however I had similar problems when I first got my D100 and it turned out to be the AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G I bought at the same time: its focus accuracy got progressively worse the further away the subject was.
#2. "RE: D100 AF" | In response to Reply # 1pmirror Registered since 24th Nov 2002Wed 04-Dec-02 12:32 PM
Thanks Alan. Sorry that I can't report now if this the lens problem or not, because of my hectic day (still have time to open Nikonians.org at least once a day) I'll try.
Since this thread has been open by about 121 Nikonians and nobody reply but you. I think they don't experience this AF problem. although that I must admit that I'm very fond of the sharpness of the picture. I agree that D100 result is not very sharp out of the box. But it happened to me in RAW, that my close-up portaiture is so sharp. No need to add sharpness. (Even I can say the quality is near to Phase One H5 using Hasselblad) When it comes to full body shoot the sharpness decrease a lot. I wish to hear more from anybody.
PS. Where is the Digital Darrel, haven't heard him in this forum.
