Racing legend Darrell Waltrip thinks NASCAR should follow in hockey's footsteps ... and let drivers punch out their differences -- and each other -- after races. Beats left turns, right?
Check out TMZ on TV -- click here to see your local listings!
including transgenders?
NASCAR Drivers
Should Fight Each Other!
I agree.Let them friggin' go at it on the track.then they will get run over.good these guys are so stupid sometimes
I'd TOTALLY watch this!
You know they want to beat the shiz outta each other after every race.
Vince McMahon should produce it.
Ummm, OK, as long as they take their race helmets off. I saw a "fight" once with Jeff Gordon going after Kenseth, I think. Pretty silly stuff - Gordon looked like a Power Ranger.
I understand that there was a fight, but you should be more concerned with accident that sent Denny Hamlin to the hospital and reporting his undate. To me that was more important that a fight, he took a very hard hit and it could have turned out very badly.
Well, might make it more interesting. But then we already have the UFC. Here's a question. What about Gordon? Do we think he can stand his ground in a toe to toe? Hmmmm?
I understand about the filght, but you should have been reporting an update on Denny Hamlin, he had a bad wreck and hit the wall hard and you should have been posting an update on him, that could have turned out different.
I agree, when there is a real beef. Joey's block was legit and Tony made an ass out of himself.
That will help. Anybody can be a badass when you know that you will always have back up. Lets see who will fight when it has to be one on one with no pit crews involved
Is it just me or does this guy look LiLo's NY lawyer?
This guy is an idiot.
Nice message to send to kids to beat each other up to resolve problems
Over years of so many changes in NASCAR it's losing its fan base. It's time to go Boggdie Boggdie on and off the track!
Darrell, you are SO Right. Respect has to be earned, and some of these guys need to be knocked on their asses. It's too bad that NASCAR won't go for it...
Very good idea. My dad use to race dirt track and demolition derby many years ago. So, the idea he has is if the drivers have a Problem (Bad Attitude) out on the track and want to fight then Have A Post Race 'GRUDGE MATCH RACE' so they can get it out of there system. They drive like it is. We all know they want to do it!!! Let me know what you all think???

Flor De Cana Tour----Chichigalpa
Tours are now back on and we had a great time. Keep in mind the traffic from Managua to Chichigalpa can be very frustrating---as it is slow going---slow tractors, trucks, etc etc! Took just over 2 hrs to get from MGA to the factory! Was even worse on the way home, took well over 2.5 hrs!!
To make a reservation you can contact them by phone (505) 2342-9150 ext. 3868 / (505) 8966-8200 ext 3868. or through the following email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I had emailed them a few times (In English) with no responses---Phone was no problem, lady spoke decent English.
$6.35 for residents, $23 for non-resident, $20 for Seniors, Kids $15, 0-3 free.
Tour is very heavy on the information---but very light on the drinking of rum!! So if ur expecting to party it up--sorry!! One only gets to taste the rum on 2 occasions. One is down in a rum where they go over the finer characteristics of the 18 yr rum---best to drink straight in a cognac glass. So a few sips there. And at the end they give you a free drink of rum and soda. In a very tiny plastic glass. Would have thought they would have at least let ya taste their various rums
Tour lasts approx 1.5 hrs long. They take you from station to station in a trolley, so even those that have difficulties walking, can do the tour.
Times are 0900, 1100, 1400 and 1600. If your there in the mornings or the 1600 tour, more likely to see a lot of action......We did the 1400 tour and it was quiet as they were between shifts. They want you to show up 20 minutes before ur tour time so everyone is organized and ready to go on time.
Factory itself is on the main drag of Chichigalpa, you can't miss it---and you enter thru the big gate that says TOURS!!.
Was a fun tour, if your interested in the history of Flor De cana you will enjoy it. If your going thinking your going to be tasting a lot of rum, you will be disappointed. No special prices at the Flor De Cana gift shop. One can find the exact same items in the Gift shop by Galerais mall.
thanks for sharing...can't wait to go!

Nadya Suleman Heading for Reality TV?
MSN: Nadya Suleman and her very large family are close to wrapping a deal for their own reality show, according to People.com.
The mother of 14 and her lawyer have been talking to various production companies about creating a show that might provide a solid income with which she could care for the children, the Web site reports.
"There's some decisions for her to make over the next few days," attorney Jeffrey Czech tells People.com. "I think she's heard enough ... Like anyone else, she wants to be portrayed in a positive light and she feels she needs to do something to get her side out."
According to the report, producers have expressed interest in following some of the daily chores associated with Suleman's extraordinary home life, from holidays to dating to driving a car big enough to transport all 14 kids.
Seven of Suleman's octoplets have come home, but the smallest child, Jonah, still remains under observation in the hospital as he weighs just 4 lbs., 6 oz. While negotiations are reportedly progressing toward a possible deal in the next few weeks, filming would not begin until the babies have grown a bit older, according to People.com.
In February and March, Nielsen reported giant ratings spikes for the "Dateline," "Dr. Phil" and "Oprah" broadcasts that included segments about the so-called "Octo-mom" story.
Oh please, can't we just be rid of this train wreck? She doesn't make anyone's life a better place, including those 14 children.
Why should she be rewarded for making a series of bad judgements! Obviously she could have done better spending her money on psychiatrict care rather than artificial insemination.
This is one show that I will NEVER watch!
I can't stand this pig, she is the most greediest slob I have ever seen on TV. I watched as her brain damaged little bastard was hitting her and she just ignored him and let him smack her over and over. Teach your kids maners before you display them in public! Just 14 more animals to drag up in our disgustingly lazy society. They should put this woman to sleep and spare us all the horror of watching her grah her monsters before the TV cameras. I will not patronize any station or company that pays her for a TV show or commercials that feature her!
Absolutely sick of hearing about this ignorant freek. Enough!!
Wonder if she will pay back all the welfare money she has taken over the years. And I wonder what cut Dr. Phil will get from getting her hooked up with a tv show.
I will not be washing this show. Anybody that does is rewarding this woman's ignorance.
I say give her the show. There is enough crap on TV as it is… she could use the money to feed all those children… and it's America so watch it or not that's your prerogative.
So Octo_idiot will have her own show? NOT IN MY HOUSE!!!! We shouldn't have to look at this thing on tv. Count me out!!!
Funny how judgmental you are Kim… I feel so sorry for you. What would Jesus have done? Would he have rejected her for her choices? I don't think so. No in your house, yes that is your freedom, how wonderful that is. God Bless.
Way to go! I can't wait till it comes on. Wish I could be on the show, I need a job!!!
Oh, here we go…the religious fanatics have to put in their 2c worth (Jada)…what would Jesus have done?? I doubt very much he would have said it's ok to have 8 more children when the woman clearly cannot deal with the 6 she already had. Oh, and don't feel sorry for Kim for expressing her opinion, feel sorry for yourself for being so closed-minded and arrogantly righteous.
Well, I won't lie, I would watch at least one of the shows out of curiosity. I'll bet a lot of other people will, too. I think the concept her trying to find a love interest is insane, though.
Jada, in all due respect to you, I think Jesus probably would be sad. Sad that precious gifts that children are will be exploited for selfish gain. He wants us to love children, not have them working from day one. That's what I think He would say.
I am just as rattled as anyone else is…However, the babies are here and Jesus wants them loved and taken care of. Let's not be so judgemental!
Well in my opinion, that woman needs psychiatric help, its the children I am sorry for, what I dont get is, so many people are suffering, homeless and starving and I didnt know that all you need to do is just have a bunch of kids all at once and you will be rich, this is ridiculous, this woman didnt bring this upon herself, she had some kids and the media choose to pay her for it, America has a warp way of thinking and all this woman had to do is make a spectacular of herself and she will be rich, its hard to believe what it takes to get these peoples attention, what this does is allow other lunatic like this woman to go do the same thing, and in the end its the children that will suffer, in this case they might not because they will have the money and all the negative that comes with that. its sick just hearing about her everyday.
If this is what she has to do to earn money to raise those kids then she must do it. I will not say I wouldn't watch it because out of curiousity I will check it out from time to time to watch those babies grow. Maybe she would be able to use Supernanny for help on raising that many kids. She should do this for the money and to better herself. She is in my prayers along with all of those little kids. I wish her well she has a lot of responsibility this job of hers doesn't go away she is stuck with it until they grow up, and she won't get public assistance forever some day she will be on her own. One thing though these people who hate her so much don't have to watch the show, itsn't it great to live in America we have that freedom. rosalie
well Rosalei or Nadya or whoever you are, you better not wait too long between checking it out because if it ever comes on it won't be on long.
Just like watching a traffic accident, we slow down but don' stay long and then move on to something more interesting than OctoNut.
Well isn't that going to be just a wonderful environment for those poor children…
Once again, Nadya is choosing her quest for "celebrity" over her children's best interest.

Something I find interesting, John Stossel was born in 1947. So say he started working when he was 18, so 1965. Minimum wage was $1.25 (nominal). Adjusted for inflation that would be $7.52 (2009$). So 25 cents an hour more than we have now. But now in 2012 we don't have first jobs anymore because of the minimum wage which, when adjusted for inflation, is almost exactly the same as when he most likely found his first job.

In a recent survey of IT pros, not only did cloud computing rank as a top three technology both as most disruptive and as most significant to business over the past three to five years, but it ranked as the number one technology investment most needed for businesses to remain competitive in the next three to five years.
In short, the cloud is here, and it's here to stay. We're naturally seeing many enterprises move to the cloud, at least in a hybrid traditional computing-cloud approach (for now). As more cloud-based services are born, the shift will only accelerate. This begs the question, what does all this mean for today's IT pro?
Does the cloud mean the end of the IT pro?
The rise and adoption of cloud services fundamentally changes the role of the IT professional. Some even argue that the demand for particular IT jobs may disappear altogether. That may sound ominous, but some aspects of IT will indeed change and many things IT pros do today will go away. Some companies may get to the point where they have to ask themselves if enough of the IT infrastructure remains on premise to justify maintaining current internal IT roles.
However, IT will not go extinct because of the shift to the cloud. In fact, it presents IT pros with an opportunity to do something absolutely critical to business success and that no one else is in a better position to do: manage and integrate these cloud services into existing business systems. This will be key for IT pros who want to remain relevant in the new services-based world.
Become cloud leaders
To remain relevant, IT pros must embrace the cloud, not be afraid of it. Business leaders have become more tech-savvy, yes, but they lack the IT skills needed to navigate the transition from traditional computing to cloud computing. This is where today's IT pro can step up as a leader in the new cloud environment, but it will take work.
Leveraging cloud services is not the same as delivering similar services from on-premise systems. In some cases, like IaaS and PaaS, IT pros will have to learn new ways of creating and deploying systems and applications. With a hybrid approach, IT pros will be challenged with managing a unified system running on different infrastructure in different places. For SaaS, the challenge will largely revolve around ensuring performance with only the data and management options provided by the vendor along with integration of the information provided by that vendor with other cloud or on premise systems to meet business objectives.
In light of these challenges and a few others, here are several steps IT pros need to take to survive in the services-based world:
- Understand cloud services and technologies: As a starting point, IT pros need to know the key cloud services options available - SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. But it's not enough just to understand the options, it's important to determine what options work best for the business. For example, a small business that uses standard applications may benefit from SaaS, but larger enterprises that use a multitude of applications both standard and custom may benefit from a combination of services such as IaaS and PaaS. IT pros need to empower themselves to build and implement these solutions while also ensuring they're operating at optimal performance levels.
- Ensure proper application and system integration: IT pros need to develop new skills around integrating cloud services with existing internal business systems or other cloud services to meet company-specific needs. If a company plans to primarily use cloud in a hybrid approach, IT pros will need to understand both their traditional job, how a related SaaS, IaaS or PaaS solution works and how to integrate them.
- Become an IT security guru: While the cloud isn't necessarily less secure than on-premise systems, the security implications and risks of the cloud are slightly different. IT pros will need to learn the different cloud design models and related security tools available to help build a strong solution and increase confidence from business leaders.
- Develop business skills: Understanding cloud technologies, their security implications and how to integrate applications and systems is crucial. Yet, IT pros need to take it to the next level and ensure IT priorities align with business objectives and needs. This skill is especially important as SaaS-type applications allow more IT decisions to be made by business people without the current levels of dependency on IT. Being able to understand the implementation, operations, management, integration and security of cloud systems in context of business requirements will be a valuable skill indeed.
Cloud computing is only one of the many emerging technologies impacting the way IT works today, but it is perhaps the most pervasive. IT pros must remain nimble, learning new skills and adapting to new technology trends while also understanding how these trends align with business strategies. This will empower IT pros to continually adapt their role and take a seat at the table as business bottom lines become increasingly reliant on technology.

Bayesianism without learning
AbstractAccording to the standard definition, a Bayesian agent is one who forms his posterior belief by conditioning his prior belief on what he has learned, that is, on facts of which he has become certain. Here it is shown that Bayesianism can be described without assuming that the agent acquires any certain information; an agent is Bayesian if his prior, when conditioned on his posterior belief, agrees with the latter. This condition is shown to characterize Bayesian models.

The Value of Pu'er Tea
A while back I was reading through some industry documents from 1900s English tea merchants. There was an article explaining that it was important to convey to customers that higher grade loose leaf tea not only tastes better, but is actually more economical because it is good for multiple infusions. They explained that it was paramount to understanding the value of a tea that you understand how much tea can be brewed from a volume of leaf. I'm glad to know that my predecessors of the industry were fighting the same good fight that I do these days. Many times when someone new to tea sees a price tag on a brick or bing of Pu'er tea they have an immediate aversion. "Wow, $100!! This tea is incredibly expensive!" I've heard this statement more times than I can count. I even regularly have customers enter my shop and say "I heard there was incredibly expensive tea here. What is that all about?"
I've learned to be excited for the opportunity to explain the economics of tea to new people. While it is a complicated subject to fully understand what makes the value of a tea, a simple lesson in price per volume is invaluable and, to myself, serves a consumer well in any marketplace (especially the grocery store).
So, how much does a cup of pu'er tea actually cost?
First I'm going to start with the familiar. A tea bag on the shelf in a grocery store. A pack of 20 tea bags can sell anywhere from 7-15$ depending on which company you went with and whether or not the product is actually tea (Camilla Sinensis). [I need to make quick side note and mention that I assume a certain level of tea interest/ knowledge for this blog and don't always write on the totally introductory level, so if you don't know about the difference between the tea plant and herbal infusions take a moment and consult google before you continue reading.]
So, now let's be honest, tailored pre packaged tea bags contain the lowest grade/ least expensive tea possible. When mechanically processing tea the two lowest grades are called fannings and dust. This is what goes into tea bags. Yes, even the ones in the fancy looking box. First off broken leaves produce bitterness faster than whole leaves so you will miss out on the complex flavor, mouthfeel, and aftertaste of a quality example of the tea. Secondly small pieces of leaf unfurl and infuse very quickly in hot water. This is why even a more expensive tea bag will not make more than 2 cups of tea. All of the flavor comes out right at the beginning. So if we apply a little basic math here if you used a single tea bag in a mug you are paying $.35-.75 per cup of tea. Even if you factor in that the more expensive tea bags may make two cups, I think we can safely say that the second infusion is diminished greatly and set the average value for a cup of tea bag tea at around 50 cents. Now if we move on to talk about quality loose leaf tea and particularly compressed pu'er (as it is my main area of interest) I am going to, for the sake of simple clarity make some rather generalized statements. Hopefully a disclaimer that there are thousands of types of tea and innumerable variables that can enter into trying to make any sort of definitive statement, can absolve me from any transgressions my more politically correct tea friends may find in my writing.
Most of the time when you find quality compressed Pu'er tea for sale it will be in the form of a Bǐngchá (a flat "cake or discus") or a Zhuānchá (a rectangular brick). For both of these forms the weight and price can vary greatly but for sake of simplicity I am going to say that 357-400 grams is standard for a bing and 250-300 grams for a brick. Price in the US for a quality, but base level, compressed quantity of tea can range from $60-300. Yes I know there are many exceptions to this as you can find $20 bing that taste like shrimp the tea sat next to and $10,000 iron cakes from the 1970s, but like I keep saying, simplicity here.
So when when you go to brew Pu'er tea I recommend using a vessel that is 150-250ml and putting in 3-8 grams of tea (depending on the tea). *Whew* Okay. That was a lot of numbers and variables even for an explanation I keep ironically saying is going to be simple, but perhaps that is testament to just how complicated this whole tea thing actually is.
Luckily now is the time where I make a conclusion that will, hopefully, clear all this up.
One of the wonderful things about compressed Pu'er tea is just how much life the leaf has. Because the leaf is whole and compressed it takes many infusions to open up and release it's variety of flavors. As I am writing this I am drinking an aged sheng Pu'er (2000 vintage 7532) out of a YiXing pot. I have 5 grams of tea in there and am enjoying one of the most full flavored infusions so far, which happens to be infusion number 18. This is my second day drinking from the same pot. I know from experience with this tea and many like it that the flavor of the tea can last 20/ 30 even 40 infusions into a tea.
Now it's time for some more math. If we average out to 5 gram pots of tea and stick to the average weight a pot of quality Pu'er tea can range from $.84-1.40. Now each of those pots can steep all those infusion/ many "cups" of tea. If it's tea from that $300, 357 gram bing that comes out to $1.40 a pot and it infuses 30 times that is not even 5 cents a cup of tea. The range is somewhere from 2-6 cents per cup. Now that is if you are not using small cups and sharing tea, which I might add I highly recommend.
So in summery: tea bags that do not have full flavor and can come from questionable growing conditions (clearly another post all together) come out to:
35-75 cents a cup
Quality Pu'er tea that most people view as "incredibly expensive" at first glance, that has complex developing flavors, beautiful history, and exceptionally more pronounced health benefits when compared to it's bagged counterpart (I forgot to mention that scientifically documented fact until now) comes out to:
2-6 cents a cup.
So you might not expect me to be selling you a bargain when I point you towards that $200 brick of connoisseur tea, but some simple math and a little know how about brewing technique can find you with a delicious, and inexpensive cup of amazing tea. Now you can put all that extra money aside and pick up some incredibly expensive Chinese antiques to drink your inexpensive tea out of!

2012 year-end securities enforcement update
In many respects, 2012 was another year of aggressive SEC enforcement. The SEC's Division of Enforcement again logged a near record number of enforcement actions. More important, the cases reflected a marked increase in the number and proportion of actions against registered investment advisers and broker-dealers, and their associated persons. This increased focus derives from a culmination of factors, including Enforcement's creation of specialised units for the asset management industry and for structured products, the hiring of industry experts, and the close collaboration between staff from Enforcement and the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations. With the expansion of the registered private fund adviser population under financial reform legislation, and the launch of an initiative to conduct focused, risk-based examinations of these new registrants, this trend will likely continue for the foreseeable future.

What kind of denomination?by Tim Baer, Baltimore
I am pleased to receive The Mennonite in my mailbox more so than any other news magazine that comes to my door. The Mennonite church attracted me because it seems to be both evangelical and with a heavy leaning toward Jesus' message of peace and justice. However, hardly an issue goes by when I wonder to what sort of organization I belong. Whether I read that Mennonite Voluntary Service workers are part of a Universalist Unitarian Church ("MVS Heroes Fight Male-Pattern Violence," Aug. 19) or that the Young Adult Fellowship discusses including new religions into the denomination ("Young Adults Set Own Agenda at Retreat," Nov. 18), I feel myself losing interest in the hope our denomination initially gave me.
Are we a religion with theological practices, a history of white-knuckle Christian living and a hope in our King Jesus? Or have we caved into the pressures of being so justice-oriented that we must lose our religion and lose Jesus, to speak the message of peace? We must remain a Christ-focused people.
To see the sorts of remarks that seem to say otherwise in recent issues of The Mennonite without much explanation, I begin to wonder "What kind of denomination or, I daresay, religion, do I really belong to?"

NHL realignment pending approval from executives, players
New York, NY, United States (4E Sports) – A realignment plan detailed in an NHL memo sent to all 30 clubs calls for divisional playoffs, not conference playoffs as the NHL currently has.
The division winner with the most regular-season points will play the lowest-seeded wild-card team in the first round, with the other division winner playing the other wild-card team.
The playoff format also calls for the top three teams in each division to earn postseason berths. The remaining four spots would go to wild cards, the top two records in each conference. That means there's a possibility five teams make it from one division and only three from another.
The schedule matrix would see each team play teams in the other conference both home and away.
The Eastern Conference would feature the Atlantic and Central divisions while the Western Conference would have the Mid-West and Pacific divisions.
The Pacific Division would feature Anaheim, Calgary, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Jose and Vancouver.
The Mid-West will have Chicago, Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis and Winnipeg.
The Central will be composed of Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Florida, Montreal, Ottawa, Tampa Bay, Toronto.
The Atlantic will be made up of Carolina, Columbus, New Jersey, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington.
One of the core reasons for the NHL taking a distant back seat to the other three major American sports has been its inability to land a relatively lucrative television deal. One reasons for this the nonsensical placement of teams in the league's current alignment.
Grouping teams together based on the time zones they play in ensures that more fans will watch games.
The changes proposed by the NHL in this realignment format come as a result concerns forwarded by the NHLPA, the two sides negotiating for the past three weeks on finding a better solution for realignment.
The NHLPA wants to further address it with its players before consenting to it. The plan also needs approval from the NHL's Board of Governors.
If approved by all parties, the plan would go into effect for next season.

Focus on Terres de Cognac with Managing editor Gérard Seguin
Gérard Seguin
Date: 12/05/2011
About Terres de Cognac:
Who reads Terres de Cognac and how many readers are there?
Terres de Cognac is aimed at all professionals from the cognac industry: winegrowers from the Charente and Charente-Maritime region of course, but also other professionals linked to this industry: suppliers in the winegrowing sector, services, brokers, wholesalers, etc. About 5,000 people read it.
What subjects do you cover?
We cover both the upstream (production) and downstream sides of the cognac industry (from the vine stock to the bottle, and to the vineyard to the market), compared to the other magazine specialised in wine growing in the region (Le Paysan Vigneron). We focus less on the technical subjects, and more on everything linked with communication, packaging, men in this industry, companies, etc.
About PRs:
Do you work closely with PRs (e.g. for supplements, round tables, events) or will you keep them at arm's length?
We certainly work with PR services.
When is the magazine released ?
We publish 6 issues a year (and one special issue). We always publish it around the 15th of the second month (15th February, etc.) except in July/August, where publication is earlier (end of July).
About freelance journalists:
Do you regularly call freelance journalists? Why?
We work with freelancers because the magazine is only published every two months, which raises the issue of "profitability" of a permanent journalist. And this also allows us to call specialists from this industry who know the Charentes and cognac wine-growing sector.
No more than three people are working regularly for the editorial of Terres de Cognac, as well as myself (Editor in chief) and journalists from weekly magazines from our publishing company: La Vie Charentaise (16) and the other publication now associated with the making and circulation of the magazine: l'Agriculteur charentais (17)
About you:
Tell us more about your career path
Bordeaux journalism school and then I specialised in the agricultural and viticultural trade press.
What do you do at Terres de Cognac?
Running the magazine (management, development, organisation), choosing the subjects, watching the industry, writing portraits, magazines, etc. Leading debates on the cognac sector.

They still had their mores.
Of course, your best method for pleasing a woman is the warm beating heart of an enemy. I mean, women will say they don`t like it, but they do.
Actors then were just louts, hangabouts and wandering troubadours doing traveling plays,
It got bloody and it got messy. There was a huge amount of work done by a tremendous Italian stunt team ... and we`d be thrown into the melee.
They had no body shame, ... And this gives you the license to be fully aggressive in battle or in loving.
It`s an interesting theory, ... But you can put British actors in silly clothes and not look ridiculous. Now if the Brits were to make a western, it would fall apart.
It was two people that were thrown together in a friendship in spite of themselves, ... Everything that`s around them is being turned into quicksand. The whole fabric of their lives and the structure of their society is completely mixing them around.
The times themselves were very brutal.
One of the most profound things for me is that my character`s name was held by somebody, ... It`s not just made up.
He sees the world in black-and-white. That allows him to drink and fight; it makes life alive for him.
When asked why men love Rome, Ray says "What resonates with guys is true friendship and loyalty, and that transcends the relationship you have with women. It`s very important for the male psyche to have a best mate."

Output dynamics in real business cycle models
AbstractThe time series literature reports two stylized facts about output dynamics in the United States. GNP growth is positively autocorrelated over short horizons and negatively autocorrelated over longer horizons, and GNP has an important trend reverting component which has a hump-shaped moving average representation. We consider whether various real business cycle (RBC) models are consistent with these stylized facts. ; We find that many RBC models have weak internal propagation mechanisms and must rely on exogenous factors to replicate both stylized facts. In particular, intertemporal substitution, capital accumulation, and capital adjustment costs do not provide strong sources of propagation. Models which incorporate employment lags or labor adjustment costs are partially successful. They endogenously generate roughly the right pattern of autocorrelation in output growth, and they generate a small humpshaped trend reverting component in output. However, they must rely on implausibly large transitory shocks to match the large trend reverting component found in U.S. data. Our results suggest that RBC theorists ought to devote further attention to the problem of modeling propagation mechanisms.

Blockbuster Video locations sprout up like so many mushrooms at nearly every Dallas intersection. But where, oh where, to go for all things urban, African, and hip? We recommend Alternative Videos in Fair Park, where you can pick from a range of selections, from Thelonious Monk videos to the Roots miniseries boxed set and a huge array of classic '70s blaxploitation flicks. The store is cluttered and can barely hold three people, but it has the most variety when it comes to the African-American persuasion. Open Friday and Saturdays only, 12 p.m.-6 p.m.

QB107 Business and Information Systems Assignment "Knowledge is power". In the context of a business organization, discuss the role of data, information and knowledge. In what way can a computer-based system support a manager in the decision making process? 1.0 Introduction A business organization is an entity formed for the purpose of carrying on commercial enterprise. Such an organization is predicated on systems of law governing contract and exchange, property rights, and incorporation. Information technology is of great importance to business and most are reliant various computerised systems in order to function efficiently and meet their aims and objectives. Computers are used in many ways in businesses from just merely word-processing to actually making decisions for managers to solve problems within a business organization. Data, information and knowledge are what businesses and individuals are based upon. These three elements are important to business organization in many ways, an example of where it these are is in market research whereby data is processed into information when collected and organised and then once this done the information is read by human and becomes knowledge. The importance and use of data is shown in figure 1.1.
Simon. This is shown in figure 2.1. (Systems Analysis and Design Third Edition James C. Wetherbe p335) Decision-making is a three phase, continuous process, flowing from intelligence to design to choice but capable of returning to a previous phase when necessary. The need for a decision making process is invoked by the recognition of a problem or an opportunity. The result of a decision making activity is directed at resolving the problem or taking advantage of the opportunity. All decision making processes follow this process. 7.0 Decision Support System (DSS) A Decision Support System (DSS) serves to directly support the intelligence and design phases of decision making, also having an indirect influence on the choice phase. 7.1 Intelligence Phase The intelligence phase of the decision making process involve identifying the problem. Once a problem is identified, it needs to be defined, this is where the DSS can help a decision maker determine the scope of the problem to minimize the complexity of the decision. This phase usually requires delving deeper into the problem or identifying and examining the variables and their relationships. For example a symptom of a problem may be a decrease in sales, but the actual cause of the problem could be a change in consumer behaviour, a new product introduced by competitors, a morale problem in the sales force etc.
8.0 Conclusion All of the computer-based systems support in a decision making process, however the difference in output from these systems differ. MIS and GDSS are inferior decision-making systems, although GDSS is similar to DSS the requirement of a group is needed which have to be assigned upon by a manager and MIS has limited support for management decision making unlike the DSS and expert systems. DSS differs from these systems by its ability to simulate, via models, the outcomes of different of different courses of action being considered by a decision maker. However an expert system is superior, besides supporting a decision maker, an expert system can do one or more of the following: * Make the decision (or perform) * Explain the results and reasons for the actions taken * Learn from its mistakes The development of the DSS is also different to that of the expert system, therefore justifying its superiority to other information systems. 'A DSS designer tries to support the expert, whereas the knowledge engineer when developing an expert system is attempting to simulate the experts behaviour.' Expert systems is still an emerging technology and will go beyond DSS in popularity to assist in productivity of organizations and help with management decisions, and is the most superior and effective computer based support system.

The North Sea
Tacazze Sunbirds
Crazy Iris
An epic new missive from the ever-prolific Brad Rose under his increasingly less prolific North Sea moniker, "Tacazze Sunbird" comes to us via the somewhat mysterious Crazy Iris label (who are responsible for issuing a superlative KPLR record a couple years ago), and is unique in his repertoire as it's comprised of two side-length pieces and focuses on the harsher end of the sound spectrum. Opener "Suicide Spin" is as bleak as the title implies, with seething electronic drones set against negative space and otherworldly oscillations. "Over Under" is even more punishing and stark, with a caustic cycling tone beginning the side slowly evolving into a miasma of crumbling noise. This is the bleakest and most noise-oriented material I've heard from Brad to date, and it's also some of his strongest. Brad recently told me that he was finally putting the North Sea to bed, and if this is that project's swan song, it's one hell of an exit. - Alex Cobb, Experimedia

TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder, Detroit Pistons, Phoenix Suns, Miami Heat
OKLAHOMA CITY -- When a team is looking for its first win of the season, it needs a lot of things to go right. One of those is for its opponent to come out flat and disinterested. The Detroit Piston were not that lucky Friday when it took on the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder played down to its competition once already this year. It was not going to let it happen again. It defeated the Pistons 105-94 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. The loss dropped Detroit to 0-6 on the season, which is not a place any coach wants to see his team. But it's the second consecutive year it has gotten off to a rocky start. Before the game, coach Lawrence Frank wanted to see how his team responded in the moment of truth. He wanted to see what it would do if it was down by six with under 6 minutes left in the game against one of the heavyweight teams in the NBA. Unfortunately for the Pistons, the Thunder (4-2) didn't let them get to that moment. Holding a five-point lead to start the...

Hilton Supply Chain Readies Disaster Plan for Hurricane Season
Hotel chain revamped weather disaster plan to accomodate major storms
Next, it implements alternate methods of communication with the properties as needed, since landlines and cell phones may be inoperable. For example, text messaging and e-mail may be able to get through when voice cannot. It also implements similar backup communication plans with suppliers as needed.
"During Katrina, we couldn't get through by landline, and cell phone service was sketchy," recalls Miller. "We have outfitted all of the hurricane-prone hotels with satellite phones. We also make sure all GMs have Blackberries, since text-messages and e-mails get through better than phone calls."
Hilton also created a website for properties specifically for hurricane preparation and recovery, where it lists available resources. It has also established contracts for refrigerated trucks, lists of hurricane supplies through its suppliers, etc. Hilton also has a plan to update general managers daily on the status of suppliers and whether they will be able to deliver each day.
Accessibility and the ability to get work done may be limited during the post-hurricane period due to curfews, checkpoints, and road closures. As such, Hilton has a program that allows authorized individuals to display Hilton IDs, uniforms, and vehicle markings.
"During Katrina, we were subjected to roadblocks, and the rules for getting around changed almost daily," recalls Miller. "One day, we would need a letter from the sheriff of the parish, and the next day, we'd need a letter from the mayor. The National Guard might let us through, but the local police might not."
As a result, Miller purchased some magnetic signs with Hilton's logo to put on the side of vehicles. "We found that, if we looked official, they would let us through." Miller now has magnetic signs that he can stick in his suitcase and take with him anywhere to stick on rental vehicles.
Inventory control and management is also a post-hurricane priority. Hilton has a process in place for identifying secure storage locations, access control, in and out procedures, and security access. Another strategy involves utilizing regional support. That is, hotels not affected can provide support to hotels in need, such as laundry services and supplies. The next step involves record keeping and controls, such as centralized purchase order logs and maintaining accurate records required for insurance scrutiny.
Update emergency contact for suppliers
Establish alternate communication strategies for key suppliers (cell phone, blackberry, etc.)
Ensure multiple backups for key suppliers
Involve key suppliers in developing disaster preparedness plans
Source: Hilton
Gather supplier status reports and contact backup suppliers where needed
Gathers hotel status reports including status of utilities, operational status, immediate needs, and damage assessment
Implement alternate methods of communication with both suppliers and other properties as needed
Ensure accessibility using Hilton logos and badges

This story originated on Gulf News Online, but I heard about it through BoingBoing and New World Disorder:
Fighting against what clerics call "penetrating Western culture" with a crackdown on icons of America, Iran's hardline judiciary has launched a campaign to confiscate all U.S.-made Barbie dolls in Tehran.
Recently Moral Police have stepped up arrest and harassment of shopkeepers for selling Barbie dolls and whatever decorated with different shapes of Barbie and its image which are immensely used by school children.
Tehran Judicial Department has arrested many of Barbie traders and shopkeepers mainly in Tehran and other places accusing them for spreading obscene Western cultures since last month.
I'm intrigued by something in the lede: Why "U.S.-made Barbie dolls"? I mean, I understand why they might want Barbie dolls out of the culture. And I understand why they might want U.S.-made goods gone, too. But why specifically "U.S.-made Barbie dolls"? Would Taiwan-manufactured Barbies be less of an anathema? Or are we just knocking up against less-than-fully conversational English?

When selecting grapefruit like any other citrus fruit look for heavy, firm and smooth texture, with a well rounded or flattened shape will indicate a juicy grapefruit. Avoid grapefruit that is coarse, puffy and rough. Since grapefruit is three quarters liquid heaviness is a good indication of juice content. Do not worry about color when selecting grapefruit; color can range from pale yellow to russet or bronze. Brightly colored fruit is naturally more appealing but it does not mean it is going to be juicier or taste better. Minor surface blemishes do not affect the eating quality, although the presence of a bad bruise may indicate some internal breakdown.
Store grapefruit at room temperature up to a week and four weeks in the refrigerator.
Grapefruits like oranges can be juiced or added to drinks, fruit salads and salad dressings for a refreshing treat. It also can be sautéed, made into jellies, marmalades or added to chutney. For breakfast cut in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon and enjoy a nutritious meal. Add shredded grapefruit peel to sauces and salad dressings. Before eating always rinse grapefruit under cool water.

Operation Flashpoint: Red River preview
I'm bleeding out.
I'm bleeding out because I'm an idiot. Operation Flashpoint: Red River can be played alone, but that's not how you're supposed to fight a war. The campaign and multiplayer modes are crafted around four players working together as a Fire Team, endeavouring to complete an objective and win a war. This means I'm not the only one to blame for my current situation, but being the Fire Team leader means I've got to shoulder the lion's share.
Me and my plucky sidekicks aren't playing the campaign. We're trying our hand at the standalone co-op missions; a mix of offensive and defensive, rescue and escort game modes that run as a compliment to the main story. The one I'm bleeding out in? That's Last Stand, and our performance wasn't anywhere near as heroic as that moniker might lead you to believe.
Last Stand sees you defending a position against increasingly deadly waves of Chinese PLA forces, who start out as little more than scouting parties before becoming a full on invasion force. What lets it take a step back from the crowd of clamouring horde modes and defense missions in other games is that this isn't really a last stand. That's just a dramatic name they've given it. Here, dying isn't the final outcome, because your score dies with you. Instead of just getting as many points as you can before dying, you need to play the risk/reward game and figure out whether you want to cash your points in at the evac chopper between waves, or go for another. It's like the Weakest Link, but with more gunfire and less sniping.
The other difference between this and other Last Stand modes is that being alive isn't enough to win, because your location is as important, if not more, than you are. The level is divided into sectors, each providing you with a score multiplier for holding it. Lose control of a sector near where the enemies drop in, and your score goes down. Keep it and you'll be in much more imminent danger, but at least your score will be headed towards the stratosphere.
This is where my mistakes started. The level we were playing was laid out with a walled slope at one end, and an open section of flat land in front of it leading to where the Chinese helicopters would drop off their troops. Preferring to keep maximum distance between me and people who want me dead, I set the Fire Team along the walls; one on an MG, the rest with clear lines of sight to the oncoming forces. Me? I was a Scout, awarding me a semi-automatic rifle with a scope. That meant I could be furthest away. Which suited me just fine.
The first few waves are dispatched without a hitch. Sniping in Red River is surprisingly satisfying, as the enemy AI works on a line of sight basis. If they can't see you, and you aren't shooting at them, they don't know where you are. You fire, they hear you and send bullets your way. But should you duck behind cover and relocate, they'll continue to fire at your last known location. It works both ways, too, with enemy locations flashing up on your compass as they're seen, moving from hard, certain red triangles when you've got direct line of sight, to blurry, vague blobs once their position is unconfirmed.
The way the AI works is a symptom of the open design of Red River. "It's not scripted, like whack-a-mole AI. It's much more autonomous; I'd describe them as more like improv actors." That's Sion Lenton, the game's Creative Director at Codemasters. "They know what the scene is, and they know they need to get from A to B, but when we say 'Action!' they react to whatever's going on. Because it's an open world, when you come down the middle, they might flank you or pick you off from a distance, but if you take another route, they've got to be able to react to that appropriately. If you play the game differently, the AI will react differently."
But this isn't ArmA, and it's not trying to be. The last game in the series, Dragon Rising, struggled to find a balance between its roots as a military simulator and its desire to appeal to Call of Duty fans. Red River is still far from its heavily-scripted competition, but it has a clearer idea of its own image. "We want to steer away from the idea that it's a simulation; we've banned the word in the studio. Authentic is fine, as it gives you some leeway to be creative, and that's what we are. We're creative, we're making an entertainment product, and it should be fun. I don't really get much fun out of military simulations. They're immersive, they're realistic, but I wouldn't call them fun."
Which leads me back to my current predicament, slumped against a wall at the top of our slope, our high score in stasis as we get overwhelmed. But this isn't the end, not by half. I might be bleeding out, but I can patch myself up. Bullets might kick you in the face like a particularly flexible donkey, but you can recover. It's a matter of maybe ten seconds of hiding in cover and applying bandages before I'm as good as new. First you stop the bleeding, then you get rid of the injury.
My dead Fire Team respawn behind me, (at a considerable cost to our score), and we push back the PLA before re-establishing our position. I glance left, where our evac waits, rotors whomping. Then I glance down our killing field. This is where I make a choice: whether I can push on further for a higher score, or give up the ghost and admit that another go at this is probably going to finish us off. We were flanked, out-maneuvered, out-gunned and out-thought. In a very real way, the AI was smarter and better than us during that last wave. Tackling the next wave immediately probably isn't a good idea.
But I run out of time. The chopper takes off, leaving us to fight another swarm of angry men with angry guns. At least we've got the multiplier on our side, and now I know that the enemy has a brain.
Dragon Rising failed because it was a confused mess, full of uninspired level design and no clear vision of whether it was a simulation or a shooter. Red River seems like a much clearer game: avoid being slave to the realism of battle, and focus on getting the feel of it right.

Nutella and fruit pizza at a little pizza place in Kingston, NJ
This went well with my 5 beers…
I ordered this to make myself feel better about what I was going to order next. Not that candied walnuts and bunch of goat cheese is any better.
This was one of those soups where I was chewing more vegetables than I would have liked to.
I sure could use ALL of these right now. I'm hitting that point of where I'm going stir crazy at home and still not wanting to go back to school because I have a massive amount of stuff that needs to get done before I pack my bags. "Must be productive…in 30 minutes!" has become my life's motto.
I'm one of those in the minority that enjoys fruity desserts more than chocolatey things of deliciousness. I just love the how even though there's probably about a stick of butter in the cake, I still feel great because I got a serving of fruit. Plus, I only have to unbutton my pants halfway when I indulge in fruit and not chocolate.
A chocolate lava cake is the best. It has the lightness of whipped cream, the soft texture of the cake, and the best part comes from mixing all of it together with the molten chocolate lava.
If I could have mashed potatoes everyday with the perfect gravy and maybe some perfect duck thrown on it, world peace would happen a lot sooner.
