How is it that by moving a small lever or pushing a button I can make a motor spin forward or backwards, or not at all?
Switches and buttons work via the same principle, by mechanically connecting the power wire when you want the motor to run, and disconnecting it when you want it to stop. Essentially they switch between providing power or not, hence the name switch.
Imagine the simplest circuit possible: a battery connected to a light. In this example, power comes out of one side of the battery, goes into the light, then comes out and returns to the battery. As long as this loop is connected and the battery is charged, the light turns on. You can build this circuit with an LED, battery and some wire.
Now imagine if you were to remove the wire between the battery and the bulb. The light would turn off because power can no longer get to the bulb or from the bulb, depending on which wire you removed. This is exactly how a switch or button works. It mechanically disconnects the wire from the light.
But my button has places for three wires, and my switch has six!
The previous example of a switch is for a type known as a Single Pole Single Throw (abbreviated SPST). This means that one wire, the pole, can be connected or disconnected to only one other wire, the throw. The Push Button fits in a category of switches called Single Pole Double Throw (abbreviated SPDT). It is Single Pole because one wire (the pole) can be switched between two connections (the Throw)-in this case either to the ground of the battery when the button isn't pressed, or to the positive side of the motor when it is pressed. These types of switches usually have three terminals, the center being the Common (C) or Pole, and the other two designated as either Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC). NO designates the terminal that will not be connected to the battery when the button is left alone, i.e., this circuit is open, whereas NC designates the terminal that will be connected when the button is left alone, i.e., the part of the circuit that is closed.
Does this make sense? If you are confused, you may want to check out the video on how to use a multimeter to see how a switch works before you continue reading.
The toggle switch is in a category of switches called Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT). This means that there are two poles each of which has two throws. This enables you to simultaneously turn two independent circuits on or off at the same time. Now, you may be thinking, "can't you do that with two SPDT switches?" Yes, you can. It would work perfectly, except for the fact that you need more than one finger to turn on both switches, and as you build a more complex circuit, like a remote control, you will quickly run out of fingers if you use only single pole switches. So, to minimize finger strain, it is advantageous to use multiple pole switches to turn on or off all of the circuits that should turn on or off at the same time.
Switches seem pretty useful. What else can I make with a switch?
Anything! Once you can use a switch effectively and choose the right switch for the right job, you can make just about anything. As an example, computers use nothing more than millions and millions of switches to remember what your photos look like and what your music sounds like, even if you turn it off and unplug it. The computer has an amazing ability to code information in a language called binary, which is switch language for on or off. Everything on earth can be represented in this form, but the easiest form to understand is numbers. For example, the number 24 is a number written using standard decimal notation (also called base 10). If you convert this to binary (called base 2) you will see that it is equal to 11000.
What? How is 24 the same as 11000?
24 is a number in base 10. The way base 10 works (and this may seem unnecessary to explain) is by indicating with the numbers 0-9 how many sets of 1's, 10's, 100's, 1000's, etc., there are. So for 24, there are no 1000's, no 1000's, two 10's, and four 1's. It could also be represented as having 2.4 10's, or 24 1's, but that is not allowed because in base 10, the numbers must be below 10, and you are only allowed to count in whole integers. The key thing that is often not understood is where the 1, 10, 100, and 1000 come from. You may think that each number ends in one more 0 than the previous number, and although that is correct, it is not how we arrive at those numbers. Each number comes from taking 10, and multiplying it by itself 0 times (not by 0 which would equal 0), then 1 time, then 2 times, then 3 times, and so on. You get the picture. This looks like this in mathematical notation:
100, 101, 102, 103, which is equal to 1, 10, 100, and 1000
This is read as ten to the 0th power, 10 to the 1st power, 10 to the 2nd power, and 10 to the 3rd power. If you replace the 10 with a 2, you get binary counting, or:
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, which equals 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32
Understanding this and applying the same theory of how to represent 24 in base 10, we can obtain 24 in base 2. There are no 32's in the number 24, so we will skip that. There is one 16 in 24, so we will make note of that and the remainder, 8. Next we check to see whether there are any 8's in the remainder, which is 8; there is one, which leaves us with a remainder of 0. Now even though there is no remainder left, we will continue checking the rest of the numbers. Are there any 4's in 0? No. Are there any 2's in 0? No. What about 1's? No. We are left with the understanding that there is one 16, one 8, zero 4's, zero 2's, and zero 1's, or 11000 in binary.
Why did I just do that, who cares?
To answer this, it is essential to understand a few things. First, look at the number 11000. You should notice that there are only 1's and 0's. This is the key concept to understand. Try other numbers and you will see that any number you can come up with will be equal to a binary number with only 1's and 0's. In the electronic world, the number 1 is equivalent to "on," and 0 is equivalent to "off." Really. Go look at the power switch on the back of your computer, or the power switch of a vacuum cleaner. 1 means the device in running, 0 means it is not. Now that you believe this, think about what a number like 11000 could mean. How about "on, on, off, off, off?" Do you see how this applies to switches? If a computer wants to remember the number 24, it just turns the first two switches on and the next three off. That way, when the computer checks to see what number it was remembering, there are 5 switches in the pattern-"on, on, off, off, off"-that tell it the number was 24.
Okay, that seems reasonable, but this picture of my friends has no numbers in it. How does that work?
It may not seem like it, but your picture is actually a collection of millions of numbers in just a few categories. These categories include color, intensity, and position. If you are familiar with how light works, you will know that there are three primary colors of light (these operate differently from primary colors of paint): red, green, and blue. If you look really close at a screen or carefully put just one drop of water on a screen to act as a magnifying glass, you will see thousands of little red green and blue dots that make up the image you are looking at right now. The important feature of using three colors to make the full spectrum of colors you can see on the screen is blending. If you use red, green and blue light at full power, you will end up with the color white. (Again, it works differently than paint, which if mixed in these colors, would yield a brown-black hue.) Instead of showing you only white, red, blue, and green, the computer is able to turn each of the three lights on partially if needed. Thus, to make the color light yellow, it turns on the red and green lights to full power, and the blue to about 1/3 power. It does this by assigning each of the three colors a numerical value between 1 and 256 (or 1 and 100,000,000 in binary) that is proportional to the required brightness. So light yellow would be in the form [red][green][blue] represented as:
[256][256][100] in decimal, or in binary, [100000000][100000000][1100100]
The only other parameter is the location on the screen where this light yellow dot should appear, which is indicated by counting the number of dots or pixels from the top right corner of the screen you want to move your color to the right and down. If you want to move one inch right and one inch down, and there are 300 pixels per inch, you would move 300 pixels to the right, then 300 pixels down, and then apply your color. The full numerical command for this one yellow dot would like this:
[300] [300] [256] [256] [100] in decimal or
[100101100] [100101100] [100000000] [100000000] [1100100] in binary
That means for one yellow dot in a picture you would need 43 switches, and you need to do this for every dot on your screen at all times!

Mario Puzo's world of The Godfather seems to be one that's ripe for any medium to exploit. The dark, seedy underworld and its shady dealings, the importance of family and loyalty, the constant intrigue and deception, the cerebral, almost regal way in which a Don shepherds his flock, it all mixes to produce great books and even better films.
There's also a lot of potential to create a fantastic video game. Unfortunately, The Godfather II from EA doesn't capitalize on this potential. Don't get me wrong; this is a fun game that most mature gamers will enjoy. Subtle tweaks and additions have even made it a better experience than the flawed yet engaging original, and the mixture of action and strategy elements is an addictive combination that provides for a good deal of entertainment. Where The Godfather II disappoints is in its inability to truly capture the essence of the intellectual property. This leads to a game that feels a bit shallow; unable to forge its own identity. Its generic, open-world character leaves the game open to comparison to Grand Theft Auto, a series with which it simply can't compete. Nevertheless, it is a solid title that I had a lot of fun with; I just see the potential for a whole lot more!
If you've played the first game, expect much of the same from Godfather II. This goes not only for gameplay but for presentation as well. In fact, the game seems to be running on an un-tweaked engine. In other words, it looks like a high-quality PS2 title or a very early next-gen offering. The only exception to this is that of explosions - fires and bombs look amazingly realistic and powerful. While character models are accurate - with the glaring exception of Michael Corleone - lips never seem to sync up just right, the animations are often stiff, and subtle bits including texture-less hair and plastic-looking ears make them all seem like Ken dolls. Moreover, there is an obscene amount of pop-in in both the background and foreground. Fortunately, the 60s era and the unique cities come to life via a good amount of attention to detail. Bucking the downward trend, music and voice acting are significantly better than the visual presentation. The remixed Godfather theme, era-appropriate radio stations, and believable dialog between the characters make the aural aspects of this title quite pleasing. I was especially surprised at just how well each of the characters were voiced.
In terms of gameplay, The Godfather II is equal parts action and strategy. As such, players will spend a lot of time roughing up racketeers with their fists and laying siege to rival families' holdings and compounds with explosives and firearms. However, as the Don, players will also have to settle back, analyze their territory, hire muscle to keep their crime rings running smoothly, and juggle the responsibilities of expanding and cultivating an empire spread across multiple locations. The mix of getting your hands dirty with your thugs and allocating resources from afar is a delightful combo players will enjoy.
On the action side, players will have a host of upgradeable weaponry and underlings with which to do battle. The third-person shooting mechanic is well-implemented. In fact, the sticky yet adjustable auto-aim makes dealing out death very easy indeed; many won't find the game particularly challenging in that regard. Returning to the game are the brutal Black Hand controls of the original that allow you to use the shoulder buttons and analog sticks, so that bashing people's heads in and choking the life out of marks is oddly satisfying. The new combo controls for melee combat are much more manageable this time around and also do an effective job of replicating a beat down. On the whole, getting down and dirty with the troops is well-executed, though perhaps too easy for the intended demographic.
The strategy portions of the title are facilitated by the touted Don's View interface. This glorified map gives you a snapshot of your empire at any time. From this menu, players are able check daily profit and loss statements from their holdings, hire new troops, allocate existing resources, target new business, protect their empire, set waypoints, etc. Pretty much everything you need to do as a Don is at your fingertips. I found this interface to be very manageable - an invaluable resource that made executing strategy a snap.
As you progress through the game, you'll accrue cash from your rackets, crime rings, bank robbing, and hits that will make it possible to upgrade your army. Improving your soldiers' skills as fighters, intimidators, and gunmen makes them more effective at administering the will of the family. Because every crew member has a specific specialty (arsonist, safecracker, enforcer, etc.), their list of upgradeable skills will vary. If one proves to be particularly useful, you can promote that soldier to Capo or even under-boss, giving them additional specialties, making them more important to you. These made men are essential to the efficient administration of your family's empire. Placing one of these men at key holdings will make sure they are never lost to attack, and bringing them along during raids will give you an edge in firefights.
In addition to an upgradeable goon squad, new weapons and perks become available as you progress through the game. Better weapons are simply found laying around key enemy compounds - pick them up and they'll become useable for all licensed family members. Perks are obtained by establishing crime rings. Crime rings are hard-won, as you'll have to essentially create a monopoly by controlling every racket associated with a specific type of illicit business (prostitution, drug running, smuggling, chop shops, and more). Once you control that industry in a city, you'll get bonuses to income and even access to special perks (bullet-proof vests, brass knuckles, armored cars, etc.). Of course, the same is true for your enemies - if they own all the prostitution rackets in town, they'll brawl with brass knuckles, causing more damage during hand-to-hand combat. While brass knuckles are easily circumvented with firepower, going up against a crew with bullet-proof vests can be quite dangerous indeed. In order to get rid of the pesky body armor, players simply need to take out one of the rackets to disrupt the crime ring - this is where arsonists and demolitions experts come in handy. Why struggle besieging well-armed guards when you can simply blow up the building? Doing so will eliminate their access to the perk, making it easier to take over rather than take out their other businesses, eventually establishing your family as the head of the crime ring.

Women's World Cup XC#3 Report
Chris and Chrissy Redden (Ritchey-Yahoo!) have just filled us in on today's women's cross-country World Cup race in Spain. We have no official results yet - and neither do they. The organization is apparently not particularly, shall we say, efficient...
Anyways, Chrissy reports that the course (which is 45 minutes north of Madrid, in the mountains) is very hard. After doing a 1.2 kilometre start loop, the riders headed out onto the first of 4 laps of the 7.8 kilometre circuit. The course begans with a very technical and steep 3.5 kilometre climb - so steep in places that all riders were forced to get off a run. They then went into a rolling fast section, grassy section, before descending to the finish. The descent was also very technical - narrow and full of loose gravel and rocks; which only got worse as the race proceeded. The weather conditions were clear and sunny, around 22 degrees Celcius. Given the altitude, Chris said that many riders were sporting sunburns by the end of the day!
In the first lap Alison Sydor and Gunn-Rita Dahle gapped chasers Paola Pezzo, Margarita Fullana and Alison Dunlap, with Dahle leading Sydor on the descent before crashing (unconfirmed reports say she suffered chest injuries). Pezzo and Fullana moved up to join Sydor at the front on the second lap, while Dahle dropped back to Dunlap. Fullana made her race winning move on the third lap, with Dahle rejoining Sydor in the chase, and Pezzo falling off the pace, but still ahead of Dunlap. This set the finishing order.
Chrissy reports: "It was a tough start, and the climb really spaced out everybody. I think a lot of riders, including me, were really feeling the effects of the travel from Australia. I knew right from the start that my legs were running on empty today. I tried to keep a positive attitude, though, and push through."
Since there are no official results yet, we only have approximations of where the rest of the Canadians finished, and what the World Cup standings are. Melanie Dorion (Ford-Devinci) was the third Canadian rider, in the mid-20s, followed by Lesley Tomlinson about 10 places back, and then Melanie McQuaid (Rocky Mountain) a further 10 places behind. Alison Sydor continues to lead the World Cup, followed by Dahle, then Dunlap. Chrissy retains 4th place, 15 points ahead of Mary Grigson of Australia.

More Linux Utilities Come For USB Logitech Devices

The Microsoft set had a bigger keyboard with higher keys that provided much better 'squishiness' than the Logitech and its mouse was both larger and had a higher curvature than the tiny mouse offered by the Logitech package. And the Microsoft set cost only about $4 - 5 more than the Logitech set. Twas a no brainer; picked the Microsoft set without any further hesitation.
I would never buy anything from Microsoft. Supporting a company ran by the modern equivalent of nazis is not something my conscience could abide with. But I guess some people just aren't very ethical...
If Microsoft are nazis than you are a terrorist and everyone's public enemy no.1.
Originally posted by Bucic View PostSame here. Logitech products are also overpriced for the build/component quality.
Today, every Logitech thing I bought broke too soon. First, a Logitech headset. After only 6 months or so, the sound volume slider became useless. Soon after, the right headphone gave up. Finally, before the year ended, the microphone broke off.
Second was a Logitech desktop microphone. Again, 6 months after, the microphone wouldn't stay up anymore. I had to tape it to stay it place.
Third, some buttons of the G400 mouse I bought started to double-click on their own even though I only click once, and the mouse wheel makes awful noises now.
Never again Logitech. They now put out overpriced junk, only relying on the good name they've built in decades past, and which they don't deserve anymore.
In most stores around here, you go buy a mouse or keyboard, you'll have exactly two choices: Logitech or Microsoft. So I guess this is good news...

Hmm, I am quite satisfied with the quality of both the M525 mouse and the expensive K800 keyboard. The battery that came with the M525 is still full (I bought it about a year ago). I can't really speak for their headsets. I had a low-priced/quality headset that did not last a few months. (same experience with Trust though, their products are even worse in my experience).
My experience with Logitech is quite good, they had engineers creating the hid-logitech-dj driver and published some specifications that eases the creation of a Unifying program. Not everything is documented, but their HID++ protocol is trivial to understand. If you own a Unifying device and want to enable more functions that do not exist in Solaar/ltunify yet, consider reverse engineering it yourself. It is not that hard once you have a VM with USB passthrough and understand the structure of the HID++ messages.
In my article I have only documented HID++ 1.0, but with help of the HID++ 2.0 specification it should not be that hard to figure out things.
I do not have any shares in the Logitech company, I just do not have the bad experiences that others experience. Perhaps because the keyboard was very expensive and the mouse is a simple one that does not have fancy programmable buttons.

My son had strep throat and the Dr. wouldn't let him go back to school until tomorrow. So today is my day for parent duty – so no school. The yearbook is finally done, except the supplement and I can finally get a post out. It has been more than a month since my last post. Wow, that's bad. I do have a lot of links though.
1 – Thanks to the Principal's Page for this photo "What we see, what the kids see." Funny.
2 – British photographer Horace Winters gives us a visual record of what the world of Charles Dickens was like. Courtesy of the blog Spitalfields Life, these photos could be used in history class, British Lit. or journalism. They are a great record of what most of us can only imagine from reading Nicolas Nicklesby or any other Dickens classic.
3 – As a teacher of both journalism and history, I've always been fascinated by the stories from the US Civil War and WWI of the Christmas truces. Many times, these tales tell of swapping common, but well liked items from one side, for what seems like better items from the other side – southern tobacco for northern coffee, etc. But also of singing common hymns like Silent Night, and then on Dec. 26, a return to the shooting. Thanks to Iconic Photos for the picture.
4 – Make Use Of has a Simple Guide to How The Internet Works in PDF format. Great for teaching students the basics of the internet.
5 – Here's a great way to do first time assignments for MMJs doing a one-man-band assignment, thanks Bob Kaplitz blog.

|Ted Stevens Sports Center rendering
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The United States Olympic Committee announced plans to launch the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center Campaign for Excellence to commemorate the life and work of Sen. Ted Stevens on Wednesday evening (Jan. 23) at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The memorial campaign will celebrate Stevens' work and legacy by naming the OTC's new Olympic and Paralympic training facility – to be called the Ted Stevens Sports Services Center – in his honor.
USOC leaders, U.S. senators and Team USA athlete representatives joined Stevens' wife, Catherine Stevens, and daughters, Sue Covich and Beth Stevens, to announce the historic campaign, which will support the redesign and expansion of the 35-acre campus in Colorado Springs, Colo. The world-class facility will provide comprehensive and cutting-edge training opportunities for America's athletes, and will serve as a model of the kinds of services and technologies that athletes require to compete on the world stage.
"Senator Ted Stevens was a champion of the Olympic Movement and we are honored to commemorate his leadership and vision," said USOC CEO Scott Blackmun. "As the guardian of the Olympic Movement in Congress for more than 40 years, he made possible countless displays of athletic excellence and was a tireless advocate of American athletes' rights to compete. The Ted Stevens Sports Services Center will help perpetuate his life's work by supporting U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes for years to come."
Having served on the U.S. Senate from 1968-2008, Stevens authored the Amateur Sports Act of 1978 and its subsequent amendments, which helped restructure the U.S. Olympic Movement in a way that has contributed to the success of America's athletes, both on and off the field of play. Today, the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act protects individual athletes, and provides the USOC's counsel and authority to oversee Olympic and Paralympic business in the United States.
One of the many revolutionary elements contained within Stevens' legislation was the Paralympic Amendment – an initiative that fully integrated the Paralympic Movement into the USOC. Today, the USOC remains one of only four National Olympic Committees to manage both Olympic and Paralympic programs.
The renovated facility will serve tens of thousands of athletes, including U.S. Paralympians such as Navy Lt. Brad Snyder, who lost his vision in September 2011 while serving in Afghanistan and spoke at the Capitol Hill reception. Snyder had a successful Paralympic Games debut in London last summer, winning three medals before being selected by his peers to serve as Team USA's flag bearer in the Closing Ceremony.
"I had the opportunity to qualify for the Paralympic Team, compete for the Navy at the 2012 Warrior Games, and prepare for the London Paralympic Games at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs," Snyder said. "Senator Stevens' legacy helped me realize my dreams, and continues to contribute to the dreams of thousands of Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls."
In addition to Paralympic athletes like Snyder, the Ted Stevens Sports Services Center also will serve as a resource for disabled veterans.
After construction is completed, the sports services center will be twice its original size and will serve as the central hub of activity for all athletes who train, compete and reside on campus. The expanded facility will feature a new indoor agility field and weight-training area, enhanced sports medicine and recovery stations, improved physiology and altitude-training capabilities, and a new athlete-teaching kitchen. The center will also include new administrative meeting spaces and offices, and a multi-purpose classroom.
Additionally, the new facility will incorporate a video presentation that tells the story of Stevens' contributions to the Olympic Movement, both in the United States and around the world. The USOC will also explore the publication of a book about the senator's life that will serve as an educational tool for athletes and visitors.
Stevens, who tragically died in a plane crash in 2010 at the age of 86, was posthumously inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame as a special contributor in 2012. Just prior to his induction, the impact of his landmark legislation became manifest in Team USA's record-breaking medal haul at the London Olympic Games, where U.S. athletes topped both the overall and gold medal charts.
The Campaign for Excellence seeks to raise funds to support the development of the new facility over the course of the next few months. Generous donors will be recognized both within the new Sports Services Center, and on a donor wall in the lobby of the OTC Visitor's Center.
For further information regarding the Campaign for Excellence, contact Eric Pond at 202-220-3768.

Chelsea were frustrated by West Ham in a 0-0 draw which saw Jose Mourinho's men fall three points behind Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Mourinho on Tuesday played down his side's title chances this term and the Blues saw a seven-game winning run ended by a West Ham side battling relegation and, after leaking goals in recent weeks, defensively resolute.
City, Chelsea's opponents next Monday, scored nine in the two-legged Capital One Cup semi-final with the Hammers, but the Blues faced a defensive wall they could not breach.
Chelsea had won five successive league games and were anticipated to have a comfortable evening against a West Ham side with five points from the previous nine games and deep in the relegation mire.
Yet it was anything but easy as the Blues, who won 3-0 at Upton Park in November, found West Ham to be defensively resilient and organised, while also posing an early threat.
Andy Carroll slipped at the far post with Cesar Azpilicueta in close attendance after seven minutes and referee Neil Swarbrick was unmoved at the Hammers' penalty appeals, much to Sam Allardyce's frustration.
Oscar's curled effort was helped on to the bar by Adrian and Petr Cech scrambled clear a James Tomkins header before the West Ham goalkeeper saved from John Terry and Samuel Eto'o late in the first half.
Mourinho was incensed by a Joey O'Brien tackle from behind on Willian which saw the left-back booked and fortunate not to make more contact and earn a red card. West Ham did finish the game with 10 men when O'Brien departed with a damaged shoulder after an off-the-ball Gary Cahill push before a corner.
As Chelsea's inability to cut open the Hammers grew in the second half, they longed for a player with the guile of Juan Mata, now at Manchester United, but West Ham held on to move on to Saturday's home encounter with Newcastle with renewed optimism.
West Ham started well and Azpilicueta - restored in place of Ashley Cole as one of six changes from Sunday's defeat of Stoke - survived a scare when Carroll chested down a cross to the far post and slipped with the Spain full-back in close attendance.
Allardyce was swiftly off his bench in protest, knowing how important an early goal would be for the Hammers to win at Stamford Bridge for the first time since September 2002.
After Oscar's curling effort was tipped on to the bar by Adrian, the visitors had another opportunity.
Stewart Downing's cross found Tomkins on the penalty spot and the defender headed firmly downwards, leaving Cech to awkwardly claw the ball just out of the reach of Kevin Nolan.
Willian, Eto'o and Ramires blazed over as Chelsea were limited to shots from range.
Mohamed Diame's fall over the advertising hoardings resulted in a change, with Matt Jarvis replacing the Senegal midfielder, who limped off pointing at his right knee.
Adrian twice had to be alert, saving a Terry header with his feet before turning an Eto'o shot around the post.
West Ham's threat was limited to long balls directed to Carroll, which Cahill and Terry, who caught the Hammers striker with an accidental flailing arm on one occasion, dealt with.
Chelsea showed more urgency after the break.
Oscar shot straight at Adrian, there was no-one in the six-yard box to meet a Willian cross and Ramires fired wide from an Azpilicueta cross.
O'Brien's challenge on Willian was an outlet for Mourinho's frustrations before Chelsea earned a reprieve when Carroll swung at thin air when Downing crossed towards him.
Mourinho brought off Azpilicueta and Mikel for Frank Lampard and Nemanja Matic, switching Ivanovic to the left of a three-man defence and pushing the substitutes into midfield.
Lampard had scored three times in his previous two contests with his former club and had half-chances to add to the tally.
Little was coming off for Chelsea and, in another attacking substitution, Mourinho threw on another ex-Hammer in Demba Ba for Oscar, while Antonio Nocerino came on for his West Ham debut.
O'Brien went off as the Hammers faced four minutes of stoppage time a man short and Adrian saved from Ba before Eden Hazard shot wide and had an effort saved.
Adrian placed the ball on his six-yard box after being awarded a free-kick in the follow up to Hazard's shot, but Eto'o put the ball in having not heard the whistle.
Lampard was denied in the 97th minute by a fine Adrian save as the Hammers earned a valuable point and denied Chelsea an eighth successive win in all competitions.

Heavy snow melt, moist soil, and North Dakota's peculiar geography combined over the weekend to turn the roads and fields around Fargo into a seemingly giant shallow ocean. Called overland flooding, it creates bizarrely apocalyptic scenes like this.
The Red River crested on Saturday night to the fourth highest level in history, sending water into the area around the cities of Fargo, North Dakota and its neighbor Moorhead, Minnesota. Because of the extreme flatness of this valley area, the water traveled mostly unimpeded at a slow, shallow rate across the empty plains.
Approximately 60 miles of roads were closed in the county and another ten miles were washed over, including Interstate 29 as seen in the video. Unlike other flooding situations where driving across the water is extremely dangerous, the water's mostly still and therefore presents a lower risk as long as you're driving at a very low speed and not creating wakes.
It's still not advisable to travel and there have been a few rescues of trapped motorists, including one man in a tractor, but if you're willing to risk your car you can get an image of it driving Christ-like across the muddy brown water.

Thanks to all of our participants for the amazing three-day conversation. Check out the list of upcoming O'Reilly events around the world.
Last year's Web 2.0 Summit marked a pivot point for the five-year old conference. Early in the year, we recognized that the shifts in our industry mirrored the shifts in the world - and focusing only on the Web meant missing a much larger narrative.
Our conversation is no longer just about the Web. Now is the time to put the power of the Web to work—its technologies, its business models, and perhaps most importantly, its philosophies of openness, collective intelligence, and transparency.
Which leads us to our theme for 2009: Web Squared.
We believe that nothing is going to get better if the world collectively hides under its desk. It's time for the Web to step up and step into its role as a platform for positive change—be it in our economy, our culture, or our society.
Last year we focused on where the Web met the world. This year, the Web is the world. And we've got a lot of work to do.
Entire industries are in the process of painful rebirth—finance and energy, to be sure, but also information technology, media and communications, healthcare, retail—nearly every major sector, in every major region of the world. And while these changes have been ongoing for more than a decade, the global financial crisis has accelerated and clarified this shift. It's the end of one era, and the beginning of another.
At the center of both the destruction and creation is the World Wide Web. For this year, we are focusing on demonstrating proofs: showing how the founding principles of Web 2.0 have been put into practice to address the world's most pressing problems.
Join us this Fall at the Westin Market Street in San Francisco for Web 2.0 Summit—be there, and get squared!
Reach business leaders and technology influencers at the Web 2.0 Summit. Call Rob Koziura at (415) 947-6111 or email email@example.com.

I just recently downloaded a new app for my iPad called Actions, so I've been working on configuring it for the applications that I use often. Throughout this process, I've been searching applications for keyboard shortcuts for commands and buttons that I use often so I can decide whether or not I want to map it to an Actions button. While setting up my Dreamweaver shortcuts, I realized that a lot of the tools I use already have shortcuts, but some of them (like Save All) don't.
After a little bit of digging, I discovered that Adobe CS applications allow you to customize the keyboard shortcuts that come standard in the application. I thought I would pass along the info to you all as well. I checked out Dreamweaver, InDesign, Photoshop, Fireworks, and Illustrator and the following will work for all of them.
To edit the keyboard shortcuts in an Adobe application, in the Menu Bar, click Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts…. You'll see the following dialog box:
From here, you simply find the command you want to add or change a shortcut for in the Commands section, then click in the Press Key text box, press the keyboard shortcut you want to assign, then click Change. If you're adding your first shortcut, you'll have to save a copy of the default keyboard set, but the application will warn you if needed.
That's all there is to it. If you are curious, here's what I was working on setting up using Actions for Dreamweaver:
Now that I've got that configured, I'll be exploring how Actions can help my productivity in other applications. I expect I'll write a post about Actions in the near future, so stay tuned.

Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Forces Brigadier General Ahmad-Reza Pourdastan (file photo) via PressTV
A senior Iranian commander says the United States planned the 9/11 terrorist attacks to use them as pretext to invade the energy-rich Middle East.
"The US, looking for a pretext to invade the Middle East, masterminded the 9/11 incident and pointed an accusing finger at Muslim countries," Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Forces Brigadier General Ahmad-Reza Pourdastan said on Saturday.
Pourdastan added that following the fall of the Soviet Union, the US introduced itself as the world's sole superpower and moved to instill the new world order to prove its supremacy.
[…] "To achieve that goal, they launched preemptive attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, and Iran was their next target, but wise policies adopted by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei along with the unity of the Iranian nation prevented them from achieving their objective," Pourdastan said.

I had the privilege late last year to travel and camp up in the beautiful Santa Barbara Mountains to work on some commissioned plein air paintings for San Marcos Christian Camp. What a job these were! I am very pleased with how these came out and hope San Marcos agrees! I loved every minute of painting these.

Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Rice
Do you have childhood memories of being cajoled into eating?
Shiny shoes with glistening buckles swung, knocking at the kitchen cupboards whilst I was perched onto a kitchen worktop in velvety dungarees and a sympathetic, fresh polo neck jumper. Mum or Dad leaned their tummy gently against my knees, for balance and in sing song and over-enthusiastic grins and upstretched eyebrows, they transported 'aeroplanes' loaded with rice, bathed in tomato soup and widened their mouths, hoping that I'd mirror them.
It's the sort of food that's easy, juicy and sweet in a dribble inducing sort of way. Modest, economical but its familiarity and succulence is calming…but you know that I like to meander to new ways with gorgeous stuff. These days it's a roasting red, spicy kick that I'm longing for. The thought of dried red chillies, releasing their sweet heat when soaked sets my heart a-flutter (but not on fire, I don't go that far!). That's why this recipe I'm about to share with you gives me my fix; I can change it to suit my mood. More or less heat, some veg, a bit of bite or crunch or something soft or squidgy. To be honest, I could make a meal out of this recipe, I don't need much else.
Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Rice
Serves 4-6
1 cup tomato pulp
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
200g of roasted red peppers (the jarred stuff is fine to use for this recipe)
4-5 shallots, finely chopped
7-8 curry leaves
2 tbsp. Channa dhal (Bengal gram)
10-15 cashew nuts halved
2 red chillies and 1 green chilli (or to taste)
300g uncooked rice
The spices; ½ tsp. garam masala, ½ tsp. mustard seeds, 1 tsp. cumin seeds, pinch of asafoetida, salt to taste,
- Wash and boil the rice and then keep it to the side
- Whilst the rice is cooking, whizz (roughly) together the tomatoes and the roasted red peppers to a deep red pulp
- Heat the oil in a deep pan, then add the asafoetida, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, chillies, Bengal gram and curry leaves and cook until the gram is golden brown and crunchy
- Stir in the cashew nuts and stir until they've browned a little
- Bring it together with the onions, add the salt and sauté for a couple of minutes before bringing in the garlic and sauté until they have softened
- Add the tomatoes and red pepper and bring It to a gentle simmer before stirring in the garam masala and then stir in the cooked rice
- Serve with something yogurt and garnish with coriander.

Is Nick Pope to be trusted as a ufologist?
Posted by dandare on December 22, 2012
Due to recent links to Nick Pope in leading newspapers, i feel it is time to tackle the subject of whether Nick Pope is a trusted and informed ufologist…. The recent articles can be seen in the sun " The truth is out there ", the daily mail "Keep an eye on the skies for saucers during the olympic games, warns former MOD UFO expert " (just a PR stunt).
As far back as 2009, i wrote a blog article about Nick Pope, and have decided to reproduce it below….
March 31st 2009
Nick Pope seems to come out with amazing statements, but not back them up with anything substantial, or base them on any facts at all.
His latest statement to The sun's article " Google Unearthed" (posted 30th March, 2009) was:
" Yesterday baffled ufologist Nick Pope said he was "very excited" by the image, which he labelled "truly fascinating".
He added: "It appears to show nine objects flying in near perfect formation. About the only thing I know that can do this is the Red Arrows — and it's not them" " (extract from article). Ironically at Above top secret, there is a possibility that they are either jets, (including red arrows) or balloons : see Here and Here . Also they point out that google started mapping London out in 2008. One possibility could be that it was the Queen's birthday fly past see here. Again i say possibilities, and as such should be presented as such.
You can see the google map in question here . I did notice that the next camera to the right, has (looking at the skyline) an aerial dissected half way up, and am unsure how this was caused (unless it was collected at two separate times, for instance).
Anyway, it soon finds its way into many newspapers and media outlets, but why? Again, i say why is this an amazing image….. to me one answer could be that it's an image malfunction. I'm not saying that it should not be discussed, but the way it is being put 'out there ' is getting sad, and there are better cases that should be discussed/ talked about in a rational way, but i guess it does not sell papers.
I will within the next week or so, put together an article, on why i have come to this conclusion about Nick Pope, and give my reasons with background information.
For example, i wrote about " Is nick Pope being GULLable towards UFO sighting? " in which the image was clearly a seagull (or Unidentified Feathered Object).
Although i'm not saying that you can get everything right, he does not seem to be learning from his mistakes, or even looking at the evidence with a clear head, and reasserting his answers to these questions.
Of course, sometimes all you can give are a series of alternatives (ie what they could be), and leave it at that.
Therefore we have to ask what are his motives in all this? Maybe i'm reacting to strongly to all this, possibly, but i do believe it is more sensationalism again.
The Sun newspaper is also proving to not be interested in the truth about UFOs whatsoever, and sooner the rest of the media realize this the better. For instance, the latest wind Turbine incident is a good example of hype by them.
I would be interested to find out what you think of Nick Pope? is he a reliable source of information on UFOs, and Ufology as a whole.
I only bring this whole subject up, because i wonder why some people are surprised, when they ask " why is ufology not taken seriously".
This asked some serious questions back in 2009, and they are still relevant now…..
Also similar questions were raised at forgetomori (in 2009) " UFO fleet menaces east London?nah " among other blogs.
So let's backtrack a bit here, and examine Nick's time at the MOD.
Nick Pope claims that he was the man "who used to run the British Government's UFO Project" (from 1991-1994); and that he was responsible for these ufo reports. Please see Dr David Clarke for a detailed description in his blog article "Open Skies- closed Files" . This asks serious question of Nick's involvement in the role he played with UFO's and the MOD.
It is telling that the MOD have mentioned that there is no such thing as the UFO project.Many more questions arise from this as well? mainly what role did he play? why does he block details? has he something to hide..was he really only there in a part-time capacity? Also over at ufo-blog.co.uk the same analysis has taken place for this article please see here .
So basically what I'm saying is that there is very strong evidence to suggest, he was a low-level clerk at the MOD, that i believe was only part-time … he lives on the Mulder image, and he still claims he was the chief investigator without backing this up with any hard proof.
After he left the MOD in the 1990's, he mentioned that he had never seen anything out of the ordinary. Recently this has all changed-to suit his own agenda – money talks.
He also spends a lot of time contradicting himself, never really researching properly…but unfortunately the media love it, as it sells papers (and most of the tabloids are not interested in the truth).Nick Pope also loves it as it keeps him in the limelight.
Other links of interest :
*** this was dated from 1999 and is very telling about alot of things that Nick Pope said in the UFO magazine at the time, plus other comments.The link can be seen at sightings (rense.com) and confirms alot of the contradictions that are mentioned above *****.
For example:
"Although Nick Pope hasn't to my knowledge responded to these questions and is of course absolutely under no obligation to, I have now received a reply from 'Secretariat(Air Staff)2a' concerning some of the aforementioned questions.
- The Ministry state:
- "Mr Pope was employed as an Executive Officer in Secretariat (Air Staff) 2. His post was designated Sec(AS)2a.
- The main duties of the post concern non-operational RAF activities overseas and diplomatic clearance for military flights abroad".
- It would therefore appear that Nick Pope's principal function was generally more mundane than "researching and investigating UFO sightings, alien abductions, crop circles, animal mutilations and any other weird and wonderful reports that came my way" [extract from article].
UFO Talk – No hope for pope
Colin Andrew's concerns here
Richard Dolan calls out Nick Pope
bad UFOs – Skepticism, UFOs and the Universe
Ok, I'll lay it on the line and say that i have not been a fan of Nick Pope for quite a while. His brand of sensationalism is a joke and makes Ufology look pathetic.
I hear you say, that i should keep my prejudice out of this, and i usually do, however I actually despair with the whole Nick pope image. If nothing else it gives Ufology an even worse reputation than it already has.

More costly private model of foster care could save $6.3 billion in long term
In these times of trillion-dollar budgets and deficits, $6.3 billion may not seem like much money, but that's what the United States potentially could save on each group of adolescents who enter foster care every year.
These savings could be achieved by using a more intensive and more costly private model of foster care than programs offered by public agencies across the country, according to new research led by economists and foster care experts from the UW and Casey Family Programs, a non-profit agency with offices in Washington and Oregon.
The researchers analyzed the long-term benefits and costs of nearly 500 alumni from public and private foster care programs in Washington and Oregon. Every year about 100,000 adolescents age 12-17 enter foster care in the U.S., and if each entered the more costly program the researchers studied, the lifetime savings for that group would be $6.3 billion in 2007 dollars.
"Only in recent years has cost-benefit analysis been understood and it can provide a great deal of knowledge for social programs if we evaluate programs before implementing them. The potential savings are huge," said Richard Zerbe, an economist and professor in the UW's Evans School of Public Affairs. He and Robert Plotnick, also an economist and Evans School professor; Peter Pecora, director of research at Casey Family Programs and a UW professor of Social Work; and Ronald Kessler of Harvard Medical School, headed the research team.
Most of the savings projected by the study came from increased future earnings and lower future medical care costs. Even though the Casey program had higher daily costs, its alumni were earning slightly more than $7,000 more a year as working adults than alumni of the two state agencies. Casey alumni also reported fewer physical and mental health problems, which meant lower estimated future health care costs.
The study looked at 479 individuals who between 1988 and 1998 were in foster care operated by Casey Family Programs, the Oregon Department of Human Services or the Washington state Department of Social and Health Services for at least l2 months. None of the subjects had a physical or developmental disability because at the time Casey did not serve adolescents who would not be able to function independently when they became adults. Those in the study ranged in age from 20 to 33 when they were interviewed, and there were slightly more women than men, mirroring the population in foster care.
In the Casey program, workers had smaller case loads (15-16 compared to 20-30 for state workers), higher levels of education and lower annual turnover rates. Foster parents were paid comparably by Casey and the two states, but Casey parents also received a $100 month retainer for staying with the program, an allowance to provide better clothing, an extra monthly payment if handling a difficult-to-place child and funds to pay for braces and extracurricular activities such as scouting, music or dance lessons and summer camp.
As a result, the study showed that the average daily cost for a child being served by Casey was $82, compared to $50.53 for one served by Washington state and $49.16 for one cared for by Oregon.
Zerbe and Plotnick noted that the cost-benefit analysis was based on outcomes that could be calculated. Factors that were difficult to put a dollar value on, such as increased homelessness among alumni of public agencies and more supportive social networks and improved quality of life among Casey graduates, were conservatively estimated.
"The Casey program invested in key areas," said Pecora. "If you have case workers with more education they can help youth more effectively when they hit bumps in the road. Children in the Casey program had better placements, foster parents had better support and there were fewer placement changes. That meant more stability at home and in school.
"These youth received more consistent high-quality service, although so did many children under state care."
What will it take for state, county and city agencies to adopt something like the Casey model?
"Consistent leadership," said Pecora. "It is hard to change a system when the leadership turns over every two or three years. You also need to involve the community. Businesses, schools and faith-based organizations can help because children in foster care are everyone's responsibility. This is not a private versus public issue. It is about service quality. If you pursue that you will get results."
Plotnick added, "If you offer more services you get better outcomes. We often make short-sighted decisions. Cost-benefit analysis can provide a stronger case that a program is worth doing."
The research was funded by the Casey Family Foundation and staff time donated by Washington and Oregon. Co-authors of the paper, published in the journal Contemporary Economic Policy, are Kirk O'Brien and Diana English of Casey Family Programs, Jason Williams of the University of Alaska Anchorage and Eva Hiripi, formerly of Harvard who is now a doctoral student at the University of Heidelberg in Germany.

Ohio Northern University is once again featured as one of the nation's top schools in The Princeton Review's annual college guide, "The Best 377 Colleges: 2013 Edition." ONU also is one of the 153 institutions that The Princeton Review recommends in the "Best of the Midwest" section of its website feature, "2013 Best Colleges by Region."
"We are pleased that this student survey again places ONU among the best universities in the country," said Dr. Daniel A. DiBiasio, Ohio Northern University president. "This is reflective of the quality of our programs and personnel and the appreciation our students have for excellence. The overall ONU educational experience is evaluated, so this is a very positive recognition."
Only about 15 percent of America's 2,500 four-year colleges are profiled in the book, which is The Princeton Review's flagship college guide. The Princeton Review reports the top 20 ranking colleges in these and 62 other categories on its website and in its guidebook. Other rankings in the book reveal the colleges in which students most highly rated a school's administrators, career center and health services – a new ranking list category in this year's edition. The book's college profiles also feature unique ratings. All schools are scored from 60 to 99 in eight categories.
The surveyed ONU students said, "The fairly remote location of Ohio Northern University has done little to prevent the school from developing a great academic reputation, especially in the Midwest." This "great all-around school...really places an emphasis on life after college," especially in "teaching students to think critically in and out of the box." The goal of the teaching staff, students say, is "preparing their students to be contributing members of society" and giving them "the knowledge, skills, and abilities to be successful throughout life."
Comments about the student body noted that they are "intelligent and outgoing," a "very friendly and easy to talk to" group who tend to have "strong leadership skills and is outgoing, compassionate, intelligent, and very involved on campus."
Lawrence Lesick, vice president of enrollment said, "The survey reinforces our commitment to attracting students with high academic standards who are engaged as soon as they arrive on campus. The comments from the student survey reveal that Ohio Northern is a university whose faculty and staff are committed to providing students with the tools to achieve their goals when they graduate."
The 153 colleges chosen by The Princeton Review for its "Best in the Midwest" list are located in 12 states: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Collectively, the 623 colleges named "regional best(s)" constitute about 25 percent of the nation's 2,500 four-year colleges.

Metal Details
24k gold is such an important part of our DNA, that most of the GURHAN Silver styles are �kissed� with 24k gold. What do we mean by �kissed�? Simply, it means that they may be either vermeil plated or bonded with 24k gold. Vermeil plating refers to the common process of chemically adhering gold to silver. Bonding entails fusing an actual sheet of gold to the silver. While bonding creates a much thicker application of gold than vermeil, our vermeil plating process applies a substantial layer of gold, befitting a precious jewelry line, and in keeping with FTC guidelines (2.5 microns).
As dedicated advocates of responsible sourcing, we strive to use recycled gold whenever we can. Our supplier certifies its sources so you can share our confidence in purchasing sustainable, responsible gold.

Learn About Pedagogy Online
Are you interested in education and training and looking for online courses in the area of Pedagogy or Educational Science? Do you want to supplement your studies or learn about it online as part of your continuing professional development?
Lectures and courses in a great number of subjects in the field of Pedagogy are available online. We can show you more than 100 courses in a great variety of subjects — and more are being added continuously. The number of lectures and MOOCs (massive open online courses) in this area reflects the complexity of the subject. The courses offered include general video lectures along with courses about very specific questions and sub-topics of Pedagogy. There is something for (nearly) everyone!
A Subject Area with Many Facets
Pedagogy is primarily concerned with questions around the education and training of children, young people, and increasingly adults. As a discipline, it is closely linked to the subjects of Psychology, Sociology, Neuroscience, and Anthropology. Traditionally, young people and their learning are a main focus of Pedagogy. But if you think that this subject is only concerned with schools and lessons, you should explore the variety of the offers.
Sometimes a distinction is made between Pedagogy as a more practical application of didactic concepts and Educational Science as a more theoretical analytical discipline. The differences are however not always clearly defined.
There are many sub-divisions based on subjects taught, target groups, etc.. Well-known categories include School Pedagogy, Music Pedagogy, and Social Pedagogy. Technology is also playing an increasingly important role in education, for example in e-learning. The most important fundamental concept of educational science is without doubt "Didactics": that is, the science of teaching and learning.

PERSON OF INTEREST stars Jim Caviezel, Emmy Award winner Michael Emerson and Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson in a crime thriller about a presumed dead former-CIA agent who teams up with a mysterious billionaire to prevent violent crimes by using their own brand of vigilante justice.
Reese's (Caviezel) special training in covert operations appeals to Finch (Emerson), a software genius who invented a program that uses pattern recognition to identify people about to be involved in violent crimes. Using state-of-the-art surveillance technology, the two work outside of the law using Reese's adept skills and Finch's unlimited wealth to unravel the mystery of the person of interest and stop the crime before it happens. Reese's actions catch the attention of the NYPD, including homicide detective Carter (Henson), and Fusco (Kevin Chapman), a cop who Reese uses to his advantage. With infinite crimes to investigate, Reese and Finch find that the right person, with the right information, at the right time, can change everything.
Emmy Award winners J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk ("Lost"), Academy Award nominee Jonathan Nolan ("Memento"), David Semel ("Heroes") and Greg Plageman ("Cold Case") are the executive producers for Warner Bros. Television.

Synopsis: A memorably bizarre screen version of Lewis Carroll's novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", mixing one live actor (Alice) with a large variety of stop-motion animated creatures, ranging from the complex (the White Rabbit) to the incredibly simple (the Caterpillar, consisting of a sock, a couple of glass eyes and a pair of false teeth). The original story is followed reasonably faithfully, though those familiar with this director's other films won't be the least bit surprised by the numerous digressions into Svankmajer territory, living slabs of meat and all. As the opening narration says, it's a film made for children... perhaps?
Reviews: Washington Post | EyeForFilm.co.uk | Rotten Tomatoes | IMDb (external reviews)
Svankmajer's sinister visual music has an irresistible potency and allure. Watching it, we feel the enthrallment of the irrational. It takes us back to a time in the history of movies when audiences responded to the images on screen with a combination of awe and fear, when in submitting to them, we felt as if we were submitting to a spell. -- Hal Hinson

Our planet is absurd. Take, for example, this crazy dust storm off the coast of Australia. It looks like something out of a Michael Bay film.
The photos were taken by Fishwrecked message board poster Boomer, located "west of False Island (Mary Anne Passage)". Other photos of the storm make it seem even crazier, and like something not of this world (though it does resemble a derecho, just with sand). [Fishwrecked via Daily Mail]

NameConduct Costs: the hidden numbersDate2013-11-06 00:00:00 +0000Text
Colin Bamford
Barrister, Southsquare
The figures are staggering.
Their size raises the question whether, in their quest to appear tough on the banks, governments and regulators have not produced a blunt weapon which amounts to a form of general taxation:
1. The effect of these massive fines and compensation penalties has not been to reduce the returns to the banks' owners or senior employees. No major bank has announced that it will be unable to pay dividends or bonuses until it has made good the losses caused by these payments. Instead, the costs of meeting the penalties are passed on to the public in higher bank charges and fees.
2. Some of the compensation schemes (in the UK, at least) take the approach of paying out to all those who bought a demonised product, without the need to show loss in the way that a legal claim would require. For example, claims for the mis-selling of endowment policies linked to mortgage loans, did not take account of the fact that the returns on the investment, which were much lower than had been promised, represented one side of the coin. The other side was that the cost of the mortgage loan was also much lower than had been anticipated, as a result of the same environment of low interest rates. In many cases, the borrower/policyholder was pretty much in the same position at the end of the mortgage/policy period as he would have been in, had the investment returns been as predicted. The criticism that can properly be levelled is that most borrowers were unaware of this. They did not know, as they took the benefit of the low interest payments, that they would need to pay for it at the end of the term. The banks can perhaps be blamed for not explaining this. So can the then government, which claimed credit for holding mortgage rates at record low levels, without explain that the cost of this would need to be met on repayment day.
The compensation scheme has, arguably, over-compensated the borrowers concerned: they benefited from low interest rates for years, and were then compensated for low investment returns at the end of the period.
The effect of both of these processes has been to pass on to the consumer (the taxpayer in a different hat) the cost of making huge payments, either to those consumers deemed unfairly treated, or to the public purse, in the shape of fines and penalties.
The only merit in the process is that the tax is progressive. The greatest cost is borne by the customers who did not receive any compensation, perhaps because they were not misled into buying the products in the first place. This group probably consists of the section of the population that is the most financially sophisticated, and affluent.
