Parental influence on teen's drinking has been heavily researched, but relatively little is known about the impact of parental permissibility and modeling of alcohol use. This month's Recommended Reading highlights a 2009 article from Addictive Behaviors, which clearly identifies that parent permissibility of alcohol in high school predicted teen alcohol use and negative alcohol-related consequences in college. This study used a random sample of 290 freshmen from a large, northeastern, public university. Students completed a 30-40 minute online survey on their parent's drinking behaviors, as well as their own. The independent variables examined were student's retrospective data on parent permissibility (limit setting), and parent modeled behavior (parent's drinking frequency and quantity). The dependent variables were measured by student's current drinking behaviors and frequency of experiencing negative consequences from alcohol use.
Practitioners in both high schools and higher education institutions should continue to educate parents about the direct influence on their student's drinking behaviors. Evidence from research studies, including this article, can be used to communicate to parents that mixed messages and the appeal of the "cool" parent are not effective strategies to protect their student from alcohol-related harm. It is also important to inform students about parental influences—allowing students to understand the impact of their parent's behaviors and attitudes on their personal health and safety.

The longstanding Gyruss world record has been beaten, as a Danish arcade champ warped past Neptune and Saturn for over 49 hours.
Kim "Kanonarm" Köbke is the name of the new champion, who blasted to 62,200,250 points after 49 hours, 16 minutes of continuous gameplay. His game came to a close just after 8 a.m. Eastern time on Monday, March 24.
Köbke, who had originally wanted to aim for 100 hours on a single coin, was starting to see things, according to witnesses in the arcade. They had considered stopping the new champ at the 50 hour mark when he lost his final ship.
Gyruss, which was released by Konami in 1983, has often been described as a combination of Namco classic Galaga and Atari's Tempest. The previous world record of 47,024,400 points had stood since 1987.
Köbke's attempt was streamed live on Twitch from Denmark's Chassis Arcade and was played on an original Gyruss arcade machine.

Do Auctions and Forced Divestitures increase Competition?
AbstractWhere markets are insufficiently competitive, governments can intervene by auctioninglicenses to operate or by forcing divestitures. The Dutch government has doneexactly that, organizing auctions to redistribute tenancy rights for highway gasolinestations and forcing the divestiture of outlets of four majors. We evaluate this policyexperiment using panel data containing detailed price information. We find that anobligation to divest lowers prices by over 2% while the auctioning of licenses withoutsuch an obligation has no discernible effect. We find weak evidence for price effects onnearby competitors.

These kids are SO ADORABLE!!!
— Lie to Me
I woke up today feeling so tired and icky even though I knew I had enough sleep. It was so hard for me to put one foot in front of another as I left the house. I dreaded having to meet up with Amy at 3pm to visit high lines. And when we finally got to the park, it was crowded and way too sunny. High lines is built on an old railroad track, as such the pathway to walk on was very narrow. It felt like I was walking on a crowded New York City sidewalk filled with tourists who wouldn't stop pausing every few steps. And it was nearly impossible to pass them because the crowd walking in the other direction was so heavy. It took all of my energy just to keep going. I felt like a zombie almost. Amy definitely noticed. She said that she felt as if she was exploring High Lines by herself because I said soooooo little.
Although I perked up a bit when we hit the meat packing industry and finally got some food and iced coffee, I was still pretty down. Around 7pm we were about to head back home but as we were walking downtown I spotted the water sparkling in the distance. And I was immediately drawn towards that direction. I pulled Amy with me and as we came closer and closer to the water, I began to perk up a bit more. I felt more alive near the water, just breathing in the fresh air and feeling the wind gently blow my hair against my face. There's something about seeing the water softly splashing each other and making tiny waves that's really calming. As we sat near the water, we could clearly see the New Jersey skyline. We sat near the water for quite a while and watched as the early slowly rotated us away from the sun.

In an effort to counteract the Supreme Court's decision on Citizens United -- the law that opened the door to free-flowing outside money -- Congress has introduced the Disclose Act, first in 2010 and again in 2012, to require all groups that donate more than $10,000 in political spending to disclose their donors.
On Wednesday, at a Senate Rules Committee hearing, Senate Minority Leader laid out his opposition to the bill.
"Sadly, it's now come to the point where you can set your clock to the Democrats' attempt to stifle the free speech rights of the American people," Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said. "The entire premise for it is utterly baseless."
McConnell sees the bill as a violation of the First Amendment. Congressional Democrats, however, see this bill as a way to hold big donors accountable for secret spending and influencing voters.
"The result is an almost total loss of accountability," Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, explained to the Committee. "The hiding of vital information from voters, who it is that's trying to influence their votes, and an inevitable slide towards corruption and scandal."
"Let me be blunt — this proposal is nothing more than a crude intimidation tactic masquerading as good government," said McConnell.
The 2014 version of this bill, introduced by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., is currently co-sponsored by 50 senators, all of whom are Democrats.

I love kiting things. Anachronos is always fun because he has to go across the bridges and everything in 1k needles, but my alltime favorite had to have been last week. I ran around the barrens gathering up every neutral animal I could find (bear tank, just kept roaring), took them to Durotar, where I picked up some neutral boars and led them all into Orgrimmar. They died pretty much instantly once I got into the city (one wayward thunderclap and they were all doomed), but the amount of whispers and "WTF"'s in trade and local were great. Everyone was amused by the "Animal Raid" on Org, since they didn't kill anyone, and the pile of giraffes, zhevra, boars and plainstriders just kept people standing around until they despawned.

This recipe was fabulous when I made it the first time, but myrecipes.com left out the sauce recipe.
Crisp Tofu, Shiitake, and Spinach Summer Rolls
Photo: Jeffery Cross; Styling: Karen Shinto
These are particularly good with "Citrus Soy Dip." No time for frying? Substitute store-bought smoked tofu (find at Chinese and Vietnamese markets). To turn these rolls into a fun party appetizer, set out the fillings and a metal bowl of warm (about 100°) water, and let your guests roll their own.

- 10-oz. block firm tofu
- 1/4 cup grapeseed or olive oil, divided
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- About 2 cups loosely packed large (not baby) spinach leaves, stemmed
- 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced
- 4 green onions, sliced
- Leaves and tender stems from 1/2 bunch mint
- Leaves and tender stems from 1/2 bunch cilantro
- 6 rice paper wrappers (8 in. diameter)
- 1. Cut tofu into 1/4-in.-thick slices, then gently press dry between doubled paper towels.
- 2. Whisk 2 tbsp. grapeseed oil, garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a wide, shallow bowl. Dip tofu slices in marinade to coat both sides. Heat 1 tbsp. grapeseed oil in a frying pan over medium heat; cook tofu until golden and crisp, 15 minutes. Let cool; slice lengthwise into thin strips.
- 3. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tbsp. grapeseed oil in frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 4. Dip a rice paper wrapper in warm water for a few seconds--just until it's pliable. Lay on plate and let sit 10 to 15 seconds, so the water soaks in.
- 5. Layer one-sixth of fillings on the bottom third of the wrapper, starting with spinach.
- 6. Lift filled edge up and over fillings and keep rolling it away from you, tucking fillings in firmly but gently and folding in the sides. (Stretching the wrapper as you roll helps.) Repeat with remaining ingredients.

This describes the main features of the climate of Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cumbria, part of North Yorkshire and the Isle of Man. The eastern boundary of the region lies along the watershed of the Pennines.
There are several distinct geographical areas within the region. Much of the area west of the Pennines from Lancashire southwards forms part of a plain, mainly below 150 metres, with westward draining rivers such as the Mersey, Ribble and Lune. Liverpool and Manchester are the main centres of population. To the east, the Pennines are a chain of rolling gritstone moors rising to well over 600 metres and reaching their highest point at Cross Fell (893 metres). The Pennines form a natural barrier to east-west communications, but there are the Tyne gap linking Carlisle and Newcastle and the Aire gap linking Lancashire and Yorkshire. The Lake District in Cumbria includes Scafell Pike (978 metres), the highest mountain in England, and Windermere, the largest lake. To the north and NE, there is further low ground (below 60 metres) in the Vale of Eden and the Solway Plain, close to Carlisle. Most of the Isle of Man consists of a central mountain mass rising to 621 metres on Snaefell. Douglas is the main town and the centre of the island's tourist industry.
The range of topography and altitude found in both NW England and the Isle of Man provide a climate of great variety, and the region includes both the coldest place in England (Cross Fell in the Pennines) and the wettest place in England (the Lakeland fells around Seathwaite in Cumbria).

White: Mendes vs. Swanson For Featherweight Title Makes Sense
"I'm not making a fight announcement here or anything – but what would make sense is Cub Swanson and Chad Mendes would probably be fighting for that title, and Pettis and Aldo would fight at 155."
During a FOX Sports Live appearance last night, UFC President Dana White discussed what happens if Jose Aldo moves up in weight to fight Anthony Pettis.
White will make Aldo give up his 145lb strap, but Aldo's camp says, 'No way'.

I adore my mutt, Truman. He wormed his way into my heart at the animal shelter those many moons ago when he fell asleep in my lap. As my breath caught and butterflies swirled in my tummy, I knew he was the perfect dog for me. What I didn't catch was him sleeping with one eye open, as he plotted his escape from the facility. He waited until the i's were dotted and ink dry on our adoption before revealing what a crazy man he truly was. In the first year, he destroyed our books, tinkled on my husband's homework (that was funny!), and conditioned us to sleepless nights. What a joy!
Have you ever wondered what the carvings on a tombstone mean? Do you think they are just there to make the headstone look prettier? Maybe they are, but most of the time there is a specific meaning for everything that is carved into a stone. Some things are easily understood. A heart for instance symbolizes love, as do roses most generally. But what about that upside down torch or the pair of children's shoes? Then there is the beehive, the trumpet, or the shooting star. Do you know what the meaning is for those symbols?
As a mom of two young kids, I have sung "The Wheels on the Bus" many times with my children. They also have enjoyed listening to this song on CD along with other kid songs. And as a mom who doesn't sing very well, I like to listen to others who are more talented. But as you know, CDs can get very expensive and take up space.
Did you know that the Colbern Road Branch hosts a free scrapbooking crop night once a month? We call it CRop Club. If you're looking for a quiet place to finish up that tricky layout, this may be just the place for you! Bring your own projects and your favorite scrapbooking tools, and just enjoy the evening sharing ideas and socializing with other scrapbookers.
Join us the fourth Monday of each month from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. for scrapbooking fun, including free die cuts, project ideas, and inspiration from others who share your hobby!
We hope to see you there!
I love making stuff! I especially love making weird and off the wall stuff!!! Making jewelry and accessories from found objects is my newest obsession. For example, beads from broken necklaces, extra buttons that come with a pair of slacks, and old game pieces (Scrabble, etc) are all perfect for projects.
Here are some books (all available at MCPL) that inspired me:
Canvas Remix by Alisa Burke
I don't usually read mysteries, and as stated in a recent blog, I don't have a consuming passion for genealogy as some of the Blue Ridge staff members do. But I love moviess, so, the book on my nightstand is Quinlan's Character Stars, a fat and totally fun volume that briefly describes the careers of 1200 character actors. The book includes a photograph of each actor, a list of all the movies
Every ludicrous journey deserves a good send-off. Like spending 30 days writing a 50,000-word novel; that definitely counts. This year the Kansas City metro will be hosting two--that's right--two kick-off parties to inaugurate National Novel Writing Month 2010. The first is on October 23rd at 2 p.m. at the Johnson County Central Resource Library.
My child recently approached me about getting another pet. Before embarking on anything new, it's always best to research all the possibilities. So, we went directly to the online catalog and requested several books about the care of lizards. When the books arrived, she spent quite a bit of time reading them from cover to cover, trying her best to convince me that reptiles made great pets. After numerous trips to the pet store and other bargaining, the lizard and all the necessary supplies have found their way into my home.
The Dearborn Branch has a bulletin board right now that features all the Building Block Award picture books. These are attractive, new books featuring turtles, dogs, fish, and pigs among others. There are ten titles in this year's list of nominees. Adults and kids are encouraged to read these books together. Then, children not yet in the first grade may vote on their favorite after hearing at least five of the stories. Ballots are available at the library until December 31st.
I knew my teaching career had crossed over into new territory when a student asked if he could go outdoors to recharge his solar powered calculator. As with most technology, that seems very tame and outdated today. What with iPads, iPods, Kindles, iPhones, and worldwide wireless access to so many devices, I wonder why people even bother to speak to each other face to face. Can you remember when Dick Tracy's two-way wrist radio was the most ridiculous gimmick in popular fiction?

JC Play is Here With a Lookbook That's "Fresh to Death"
Taking off with the athletic craze that ruled the runways last September, JC Play aims to satisfy our sportiest dreams with the obvious choices, wedge and flatform sneakers, and the more subversive approach: Velcro Teva inspired straps on ultra platform sandals. Video and lookbook after the jump.
This Or That: Open Heeled Wedges
Take a peek at this week's open toed wedges, 2 of the many exciting shoe drops this week!
Buyer Wire: 80%20 Fall Boots
Check out our latest Buyer Wire! Jeni Ni shows us fall's hottest hidden wedge boots from cult favorite 80%20.
Look Of The Week: We Won't Say A Word
Check out this week's True Blood inspired black and red look featuring Contego Eyewear, Mink Pink, Evil Twin, and 80%20!
Minimarket Exclusive Space Wood Wedges
Here at Karmaloop, we know you ladies well enough to realize that a) you have a penchant for animal print and b) you want one-of-a-kind style. So to reward your fearless fashion efforts, we've got a whole slew of shoe exclusives lined up. First on the roster: minimarket.
Haus of Price Exclusive Zena Wedge!
The bedazzling generation (to which I'm sure most of us belong) has grown up -- but we have not moved on from an infatuation with shiny things.
New Brand: Minimarket
Check out one of the newest shoe brands to land at Karmaloop, Minimarket! Minimarket successfully melds fashion and art with unique pieces, stellar lookbooks, and impeccable styling. Learn more about them here!
NEW Shoe Brands: Messeca & Mea Shadow
Is there anyone who doesn't appreciate a good wedge? I'm pretty stoked to scope out our newest shoe brands Messeca and Mea Shadow, high quality sister-brands putting out a strong collection of versatile styles.
New Girl in Town: Gabe's Girl
Some of you with shoe fetishes may already be smitten with the Gabe's Girl wedge sandal from Irregular Choice. If so, you know this foot candy is hard to come by…but here at Karmaloop, we will have your pre-spring fix of the shoe in black and brown colorways in mid-January! Whether you've been coveting these...
80%20 in Marie Claire
With the trend toward neutral tones and military chic, 80%20 fits the bill in regard to being fashion forward within a style that can often feel bland and stale. May's Marie Claire took note of the Molly Classic Open Toe Hidden Wedge. The right combo of canvas, leather, buckles, and the notorious 80%20 hidden wedge...
Why spend nearly $600 on a pair of Chloe canvas strap sandals when you can get some from 80%20 that are nearly identical and less than 1/5 of the price? Not digging the canvas? Upgrade to a perforated wedge instead, and STILL have some serious cash $$$ left over. Not sold yet? Don't forget that...
Splurge vs. Save: The Lace Up Peep Toe Boot
Here's a pretty basic formula: Peep toes + lace up + perforated leather = a fabulous shoe to carry you into spring. Opt for the Syd Shoe by Jeffrey Campbell and save yourself some $$$ to buy a cute dress and complete the look.
Splurge Vs. Save: The Cheetah Wedge!
These Jeffrey Campbell Cheetah print platforms look so much like the ones from Topshop, that no one will know that you didn't actually fork over a whole stack of cheddar for them! While not recommended to those with a fear of heights, these babies are certainly a steal. Act fast though, because they are moving almost...

For someone who seems to love reviewing restaurants, I keep reading about the foods you don't like. You hate goat cheese, not a fan of gorgonzola, you hate chai tea...ReplyDelete
Looking back on your blog post, the trend continues. Though I don't consider your reviews helpful, you have taught me to read multiple reviews from someone before considering them a credible source. So thanks for that.Replies
Thank you for your comment. For one, I never claimed to be a professional restaurant critic, and this blog is simply a personal expression because I do love to eat out and I want to share my experience with people. So yes, I do have certain things that I don't like, such as goat cheese and chai tea, but I think everyone has preferences, and I'm not aiming to be the most impartial food critic. In fact, I usually avoid ordering things that I don't like. It's unfortunate that you don't find my reviews helpful, but I feel perfectly entitled to write about my personal preferences on my personal blog.Delete
- AnonymousMarch 6, 2012 at 4:55 PM
After reading the review, you said so many positive things about the food, I can't figure out why you have listed this restaurant as doesn't like. "The Chef bakes his own bread everyday", The amuse bouche soup was "delecious..."the lobster is the star of the dish"..."the tomato broth here was light and delicate and really let the lobster shine"..."I usually find gnocci to heavy, but I really enjoyed this gnocci with it;s crispy exterior, the gnocci was evenly charred and went well with the cheese sauce, the sauce was not overwhelming"..."even though I don't like chai ice cream (personal preference and not helpful if it is good or not) "but the tart itself was excellent"..."the service was good, maybe too good, which made me feel bad for not spending more,what can I say...I'm cheap"Delete
You had great things to say about every food item...? as well as the service... why is this restaurant on your do not like list?
I don't get it.
- AnonymousMarch 6, 2012 at 4:58 PM
I'm hoping it's not because it's more than you like to spend, because that would be very unfair to the restaurant, who in your estimation does everything very well.Delete
- AnonymousJanuary 16, 2013 at 12:22 PM
I have to agree with both comments above. There is a reason this restaurant is absolutely packed and has a very long reservation list. I think the repeat customers, the weeks in advance to get a table, and the ever-growing list of celebrities dining at Frank's and tweeting about their positive experiences (Samuel L. Jackson as an example this weekend along with Rachel McAdams, Ron Sexsmith, and Drake in the past month) speaks volumes. But you are definitely correct, you are entitled to your opinion and to write about it. Just don't expect your opinions to have much weight behind them.ReplyDelete
I just can't understand that if you love to eat out, as you claim, then how can you say you are adverse to spending more than $30 per person??? How do you expect to get excellent service without paying for it? Eating out is just as much about the experience, the ambiance and the service as it is about the food. You can't expect to get all of that at a high level and pay the same as you would at a chain restaurant like Kelsey's (as an example). Food or service is never high level or consistent at places like those, but I guess the price is always right... and you do get what you pay for. In my mind, you got a lot more at Frank's Kitchen then they got in return for your cheap patronage and hypocritical, inaccurate review.

INDIANAPOLIS - The filing of a WARN notice by Whitley Products may signal the ultimate end of the company but by doing so workers will have at least a little help.
The Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) act was passed in 1988 and part of that law requires that companies that have 100 or more employees file a 60 day notice of any plant closing or mass layoff. The notice is given to employees and filed with the Indiana Department of Work Force Development.
PERU — The Plymouth High School gymnastics team wrapped up its season Thursday night at Peru in a four-way meet also featuring Marion and top 10-ranked Logansport.
Logan topped all three of the other teams by posting a 107.1, and Plymouth defeated Peru and Marion 100.5-79 and 100-86.5, respectively.
The Pilgrims were led by their state-ranked duo of sophomore Cassi Quissell and junior Nicky Davis.
Quissell placed third in every event except bars, where she captured a second behind the No. 7-ranked bars gymnast in the state, freshman Kelly Platt of Logansport.
PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth Athletic Department will be losing a Hall of Famer next month.
Assistant Athletic Director Mary Beth Hunter has been a part of Plymouth High School athletics since 1980. She was inducted into the Indiana High School Tennis Hall of Fame in 1995 as both a player and a coach.
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth's boys basketball team received two first-team All Northern Lakes Conference selections and one honorable mention pick as the league announced its all-conference nominations Thursday.
Senior guard Joe Knapp and junior forward Mack Mercer were both named to the All-NLC first team, while senior guard David Lee was given all-conference honorable mention.
NorthWood juniors Jonathan Wilkinson and Zach Zurcher were both named to the All-NLC first team as well.
Stephan H. Gonce Jr.
Feb. 3, 1968 – Feb. 18, 2013
PLYMOUTH — Stephan H. Gonce Jr., 45, a lifetime Plymouth resident, died at 3:05 p.m. Monday, Feb. 18, 2013 in Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, Plymouth, following an extended illness.
The son of Stephen H. Sr. and DiAnne King Gonce, Steve was born Feb. 3, 1968 in Plymouth. He was a 1986 graduate of Plymouth High School.
On July 16, 1994, Steve married his wife, Melinda, in their back yard.
Steve had been employed at Flexible Technologies for 17 years, until his illness.

BREMEN — David A. Zumbaugh, 63, a lifetime Marshall County resident, died Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013.
Visitation will be held Friday, Feb. 22 from 4 - 7 p.m. in the Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N. Michigan St., Plymouth. Services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23 in the Teegarden First Brethren Church, 16518 1st Road where calling will resume after 9 a.m. until time of services.

BOURBON — This weekend you have the opportunity to see a preview of Triton students' Destination ImagiNation challenges before the March 9 regional competition.
"The kids are pretty much going to run through what they will do at the regional tournament," said Lisa Eiser, DI coordinator at Triton Schools. "So many people don't understand Destination ImagiNation…we hope that by letting the public see what we do, they will understand it more."
PLYMOUTH - It's official - for now at least.
Whitley Products has officially filed notice as part of the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) act that the company based in Warsaw, with plants in Plymouth and North Carolina will officially cease operations.
The notice filed on Tuesday, states that Whitley "...has decided to notify its employees that in light of its current financial situation Whitley will likely permanently cease its operations," and that "...in the event of a cessation of operations all employees will be terminated."
While both Bremen and Culver Military finished short of a championship at last weekend's boys swim sectionals, both squads took home some pretty nice consolation prizes.
The Lions and the Eagles finished fourth and second at the Penn and Warsaw Sectionals, respectively, but both saw banner days for individuals, setting school records while grabbing multiple berths to this Friday's 76th Annual IHSAA State Finals at the IUPUI Natatorium.
WALKERTON — John Glenn has announced golf coach Randy Schmeltz as the Falcon Award recipient for 2012.
The award will be presented at halftime of the boys basketball game against Penn Friday.
Schmeltz is in his 32nd year as an educator for the school corporation and is currently a physical education teacher at Urey Middle School, where he is the eighth grade girls basketball coach in addition to being the head coach of the Glenn High School boys and girls golf teams.

Economic Recovery Measures
House Passes Small Business Bill
Today, the House passed HR 5297, the small business bill that had been stalled in Congress for weeks. It is expected that President Obama will sign it into law right away. Meant to provide capital for banks to loan to small businesses, the bill will establish a $30 billion lending fund that will buy equity in community banks and have them pay varying dividends based on how much they increase lending (CBO actually expects this provision to raise $1 billion over ten years).
Putting the Tax Cuts in Perspective
With Congress back in session, the mid-term election right around the corner, and a looming expiration, the debate of the 2001-2003 tax cuts is getting hotter and hotter. Up until now, the debate over the tax cuts, which are set to expire at the end of the year, has mainly centered on whether or not to extend all of them or let them expire for the highest income earners. We believe that this type of debate is missing a key component: each plan's specific and relative deficit impact.
'Line' Items: Fall Edition
Falling Into Pieces – Fall officially begins this week. A short congressional calendar and the quickly-approaching elections mean that the legislative agenda will largely fall by the wayside. Only a few bills will get passed this month, with a post-election lame duck session set to rake up with the rest.
A Not So Happy Anniversary
Nobody's breaking out the champagne for this anniversary.
On this day two years ago, the collapse of Lehman Brothers turned an already bad-looking recession into an all-out financial panic. The collapse sent the stock market on a wild ride for the next month and rapidly accelerated the pace of job losses, turning 6 percent unemployment into 9.5 percent unemployment in just six months.
Small Business Aid Bill Close to Enactment
UPDATE: The Senate passed the small business package on Thursday 9/16, and the House is expected to pass the legislation early next week.
'Line' Items: Football Edition
Kick-off Time – Football season got underway this weekend, and the final legislative drive before the mid-term elections also commences this week. The elections will loom over the work of lawmakers as they return to work for a short period before adjourning in October, making major breakthroughs unlikely. But stranger things have happened (like the Redskins winning).
Orszag on the Tax Cuts
Today, former OMB Director Peter Orszag debuted his new column in the New York Times and he sure made a splash. He tries to thread the needle of propping up the economy in the immediate-term and helping right the budget imbalances in the medium-term by suggesting that the tax cuts should be temporarily extended for all income brackets until 2013 and then allowed to expire.
Obama Announces New Proposals for Employment and Growth
Yesterday, the President announced two new plans for economic growth. Responding to pressure to deliver more job creation in a critical election year, Obama announced a plan to spend $50 billion next year on transportation and infrastructure—from roads to railways to airports. The proposal also includes plans for the creation of a national 'infrastructure bank' to attract private funding for further infrastructure improvement projects.
'Line' Items: Post-Labor Day Edition
A Lot of Work Ahead – The end of the long Labor Day weekend heralds the effective end of summer: the pools are closed, the kids are back at school, and summer vacations are over. Congress goes back to work in Washington next week. Members of Congress may be hard at work back home campaigning now, but tough tasks wait for them in DC as well.
Stimulus Calculus
CRFB board member Laura Tyson makes the argument for additional economic stimulus in a recent New York Times op-ed. At the same time she mirrors CRFB in also proposing that policymakers "should enact a credible multiyear plan now to stabilize the ratio of federal debt to gross domestic product gradually as the economy recovers." Additionally, she renews her membership in CRFB's "Announcement Effect Club" by arguing that announcing a credible plan now would ease capital market concerns.

Seals enjoy the afternoon sunshine as they lounge on a floating platform at the mussel farm operated by Penn Cove Shellfish. According to owner Ian Jefferds, the seals chow down on the fish in the area and don't bother the mussels. The platforms give the seals a nice, safe place to haul out and rest.

B.B. Kingtold a recent Alexandria, VA, crowd that he continues to perform internationally because his great-granddaughter loves money. And though we can believe any line the 85-year-old blues icon croons, that joke cant hold water next to the estimated 15,000 shows the Mississippi singer-songwriter has given over the course of his acclaimed career, one that helped popularize such essential elements of electric blues as string-bending and vibrato. Sorry, Kingyou, I, and Lucille know youre in this for the love, not the moneyand you should rightly reap plenty of both tonight.

Comes with thigh straps (which clip onto the accessory attachment points and give greater control of the kayak while surfing). Adjustable footrest. 13cm screw in storage hatch with mesh bag (for keys etc). Water bottle. Surf fin. Comfort carry handles.

Hi, I'm selling my Brand-new Pyranha Kayak. I bought it last year and had the intention of using it but I've never got round to it
As the name suggests, the Pyranha Fusion is a cross-over kayak which allows the paddler to enjoy two great areas of paddle sport, white water and touring.
Super stable, fast compared to whitewater boats and easy to paddle, the Fusion gives you the freedom to choose from some fun whitewater or checking out some estuaries or a sheltered bay.
The tried and tested Pyranha skeg system adds a great feature allowing you to track in a straight line and the drag reducing skeg box allows the water to flow straight out of the stern of the kayak.

Here is what Liquid Logic say....
\"Hoss is a river runner for the paddler sized between 130 and 240 lbs. It is easy to paddle downstream and easy to roll. We took the tried and true qualities of our creek boats and joined them with a playful hull design that allows any paddler to surf, spin and carve on waves while also paddling the river confidently. The Hoss is like the brother that you always want looking out for you. Hoss is the big brother that will take you under his wing and if you need a smaller friend, Lil' Joe is the same reliable brother just in a smaller package.\"

The Standard Boys Do It Better
This past weekend marked the 10th annual Adidas Fanatic Soccer tournament, and in true athletic fashion, Adidas turned it out. With incredible DJs, a phenomenal BBQ and more Heinekens than a fraternity could consume, everyone had the time of their lives.
The competition was fierce, and as always, The Standard, New York's football club boys fought til the bitter end to ensure their place in soccer history. Although we didn't take the tournament completely, we played fairly and very well. At the end of the day, it was a day of fun, sun, friendship and camaraderie. Isn't that what Adidas is all about anyway?
THANK YOU, ADIDAS! Summer just isn't the same without you. And a very big thank you to Scott Meriam for spending the day in the sun taking the above pics.
Adidas Fanatic X: The Standard Football Club
Last year, my social life went down the drain when my plastic surgeon told me that I couldn't participate in any activities where balls fly at my nose. (Clueless!!!)
This year, it's all different because, just like last year and the eight years before that, Adidas is hosting Fanatic X, their tenth annual soccer tournament this Saturday. Naturally, The Standard, New York has a team called The Standard Football Club, and we're gonna take this tourney.
Come down to Chelsea Waterside Park this Saturday, July 9th, from 1pm - 8pm, to watch us kick some soccer A$$! I love a sporting competition…like water polo, but I can get into soccer too.
Details on the invite above. Ask for me when you get there. Don't drink all my beer.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Can you say "Shadow Priest"? Sure, they don't have as many DoTs (three as compared to Warlocks' five or so), and they don't have any drains, but Mind Flay and Mind Sear do at least have similar animations. Not to mention, as someone else already said, Shadow Priests are able to remove their DoTs with Mind Spike.
zubbiefish said...
I'm not sure what you're responding to Tyler. I don't see anything here that says any of the warlock trees are copies of anything, only that they are similar, which they are. Not to be deliberately obtuse, but I'm not really understanding how the fact that Affliction was designed, from the start as a "viable spec from the beginning" and Shadow was "originally designed to be a leveling spec", is relevant to the comments above stating that these things are similar.
Also, since you infer that it's an issue, what's wrong with Shadow Priests being a viable, Affliction like, end game spec? A thing was once thus, so always it shall be?
Our class as a whole has 6 DoTs: Bane of Doom, Bane of Agony, Immolate, Unstable Affliction, Corruption and Shadowflame. However, each spec can only keep 4 of them active at a given time since Immolate and UA are exclusive and so are BoD and BoA. And you really shouldn't count Shadowflame since you can't keep a good uptime on that DoT due to its CD.
Priests as a class have 4 DoTs: Devouring Plague, Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch and Holy Fire, but Shadow Priests don't really use the last one.
So I'd say we use the same amount of DoTs. Only one more if you want to squeeze in Shadowflame.
Remember: Haunt is not a DoT, it's a debuff.

I have no feel whatsoever for the Jags. I don't hate them, I don't like them. It's just hard for me to get a good hate on for them. I hate the Titans but the Jags and Colts are kind of my new Browns/Bengals. In the AFC Central days I got up for playing the Steelers and the four games against the Browns/Bengals were just weeks we played "one of those orange teams".
I feel the same way about the Jags and Colts. They're secondary to me. I'm not too impressed with the vaunted Indy offense. So far we've played them tough and nearly beaten them in our early years a couple of times. I think they're overrated. The Jags never seem to be totally ready to play when they line up against us. The only time they ever looked good to me we were starting Ragone. Against our "A" game they're beatable every time. Nothing to get excited about there.

Found May 22, 2013 on Waiting For Next Year:
PLAYERS: Thaddeus Lewis, Brian Hoyer, Brandon Weeden, Jason Campbell, Jamoris Slaughter
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns
A Pro Football Talk report surfaced a few hours ago that the Browns will release Thaddeus Lewis. That report was confirmed by several members of the local media. Lewis started one game for the Browns last week, starting against the Steelers in the final week of the season. He wasn't awful, completing 22 of 32 passes for 204 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Lewis has been the third string QB for the last two seasons. The Browns have now gotten rid of two-thirds of their quarterback trio from last season. The recent addition of Brian Hoyer made Lewis expendable in the eyes of the coaching staff. Hoyer, Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell are the quarterbacks currently on the roster. [Related: Browns sign sixth round pick Jamoris Slaughter]

According to our Country Share Tracker (CST) service, China smartphone shipments grew +29% YoY to record levels in Q2 2014. Samsung maintained the number one spot, followed closely by Xiaomi in second place. For the first time ever, Coolpad pushed into third position thanks to healthy demand for its LTE models. By contrast, Lenovo fell out of the top 3 list this quarter and storm clouds are brewing for the vendor. This published report, available to clients, contains extensive data and analysis of the China smartphone market by hardware brand and by OS from Q1 2009 to Q2 2014. A forecast by quarter for Q3 2014 is also included.
According to our Country Share Tracker (CST) service, global LTE phone shipments grew +93% annually in Q1 2014. The US, South Korea, Japan and Europe continued to witness rapid 4G growth, while new-entrant China has quickly established itself as the second-largest LTE market. Dozens of LTE handset models from Samsung, Apple, LG, Sony, Nokia and others are now flooding the market. The United States remains by far the world's largest LTE country, boosted by robust carrier subsidies. This extensive published report, avauilable to clients, tracks global LTE handset shipments and vendor marketshare for 17 major vendors in 5 major LTE countries from Q1 2012 through Q1 2014.
According to new research from our Country Share Tracker (CST) service, China smartphone shipments grew +39% YoY to record levels in Q1 2014. Samsung remained in first place, followed by Lenovo. Meanwhile, Xiaomi pushed into the top 3 rankings for the first time ever, due to multiple popular new models. Coolpad solidified its position thanks to healthy demand for LTE phones. Our published report, available to download by clients here, contains handset and smartphone shipments and marketshare by multiple vendors and operating systems by quarter in China from Q1 2009 to Q1 2014. A forecast by smartphone vendor for Q2 2014 is also included. The report is a valuable tool for stakeholders wishing to track the China market, the world's largest by volume and revenue.
According to our Handset Country Share Tracker (HCST) service, US LTE cellphone shipments jumped sharply in Q3 2013. The US, South Korea, Japan and Europe continued to witness lightning 4G growth as dozens of models from Samsung, Apple, Sony, Nokia and others flooded the market. The United States remains by far the world's largest LTE country, boosted by robust carrier subsidies. This published report, available to clients, tracks global LTE handset shipments and vendor marketshare for 16 major vendors in 4 major LTE countries from Q1 2012 through Q3 2013.
Our Wireless Smartphone Strategies (WSS) service tracked Coolpad ranked the 11th largest smartphone vendor globally in 2012, with 2.6% marketshare. It grew smartphone volume by 108% YoY from 2011, indicating the Shenzhen-based Chinese vendor is ambitious to push into the top 10 club this year.
The company is on the right track to become a 3G smartphone specialist, with an encouraging breakthrough recently also in the North American 4G LTE market. Its first LTE phone at MetroPCS achieved an encouraging start last year.
However, how to further define and implement its overseas strategy, especially in North America and West Europe, remains the key for the rising Chinese brand. We would recommend Coolpad to:
- Launch a decent flagship model with a unified sub-brand (like Samsung Galaxy, Huawei Ascend does) globally;
- Initially target prepaid carriers / customers because prepaid segment is price-sensitive and accessible for Chinese brands;
- Prepare for the potential IPR risks associated with overseas expansion. Coolpad is reportedly have accumulated over 4000 handset related patents at this moment, however, it is still vulnerable to get involved into IPR war. We believe patent swap would be an effective way to ease risks;
- Branding and marketing initiatives are needed to tap into richer customers in developed markets;
- Prepare for the direct competition with Huawei and ZTE in overseas market. Compared with the two rivals, Coolpad exclusively focuses on the smartphone market and lacks synergy among different product lineups. We would recommend Coolpad to further differentiate from rivals with improved hardware designs and more localized services and apps (e.g. social networking);
- Balance volume and profitability. Shifting upwards with more mid- and high-tier models, in order to improve ASP and profit margin, which will ensure the Hong Kong listed-company has sufficient cash on hands for the upcoming overseas expansion.
According to our Handset Country Share Tracker (CST) service, the German mobile phone market slipped by -8% year-on-year in Q4 2012, as the broader ongoing macroeconomic challenges affecting the whole of the eurozone trumped the relative strength of the German economy. Following the launch of the iPhone 5, Apple reclaimed a significant chunk of volumes in Germany, but there are also initial signs of traction for Nokia's Lumia Windows Phone family. The Finnish vendor gained 1 point of sequential marketshare in the quarter. This published report, available to clients, tracks quarterly mobile vendor market share at the four major German operators -- T-Mobile, Vodafone, O2 and E-Plus -- from Q1 2009 to Q4 2012. The report is an important tool for measuring the health of individual handset brands at the operator level in Western Europe's second largest cellphone market.
According to our Handset Country Share Tracker (CST) service, the UK mobile phone market dipped -4% year-on-year in Q4 2012, mimicking the broader economic challenges of the country. While Samsung and Apple showed healthy growth, this was offset by declines from Nokia, RIM, HTC and the Android long-tail. This published report, available to clients, tracks mobile phone vendor shipments and marketshare at the 4 major UK operators -- O2, Vodafone, Everything Everywhere and Three -- from Q1 2009 to Q4 2012. The report is an important tool for measuring the health of individual device brands at the operator level in Western Europe's largest cellphone market.
Global smartphone wholesale revenues grew a reasonable +32% in Q4 2012. Samsung and Apple dominate the industry by both volume and value. LG held third place, increasing +77% YoY, driven by increased volume and improved ASP from LTE models. This report, available to the clients of our Country Handset Share Tracker service, provides quarterly global smartphone wholesale ASP, revenue and shipment metrics for eight major smartphone OEMs across six major regions from Q1 to Q4 2012. Historical global smartphone ASPs, revenues and shipments from 2010 onward are also included. The report is a valuable tool for operators, component manufacturers, car makers, financial analysts and other stakeholders who want to track smartphone pricing and the financial health of major vendors on a quarterly basis.
Global smartphone shipments surged +40% annually in Q3 2012. Smartphones are a high-growth market. Samsung and Apple top the charts with the world's best-selling models, but Sony, Huawei and HTC are quietly gaining traction. This published report, available to clients of our Country Share Tracker (CST) service, tracks the world's top-selling smartphone families and models by shipment volumes from Q1 2011 to Q3 2012. The report is a valuable tool for component makers, car manufacturers, content suppliers, mobile operators, device vendors and other stakeholders who want to identify and measure the world's most-popular smartphones by individual model, such as Apple's iPhone.
South Korea currently has everyone dancing to the tune of "Gangnam Style", a catchy Korean pop song by a local artist called Psy. But it is not just K-pop that South Korea excels at. The country is also doing a fine job of promoting 4G mobile technology. LTE phone volumes in South Korea have more than doubled in the past year. Samsung, LG and Pantech are boosting sales. It is the world's most advanced LTE market by a long shot. We recommend all players with a stake in the 4G mobile industry take a close look at South Korea today, for a taster of how the rest of the world might look tomorrow. More analysis of the South Korea and global LTE mobile phone industry can be downloaded by clients from this published report in our Country Share Tracker (CST) service.
