Political Institutions And Economic Growth In Africa
The purpose of this paper include (a) a review of the literature on the so-called 'African dummy', (b) an explication of the system GMM method of estimation, by which Hoeffler(2002) shows the 'African dummy' to be an artifact of the application of inappropriate estimation techniques; and (c) an effort to employ this technique to measure the impact of political variables - measures of stability, regime type, and violence - on economic growth in Africa.

New Brunswick Antlerless Deer Tags Drawn
The results of the 2008 antlerless deer tag draw were released August 15th by the Department of Natural Resources.
A total of 5,000 New Brunswick hunters had their names selected in a random, computerized draw for antlerless deer validation stickers. The successful applicants will be notified by mail, and they should receive their stickers by the end of September.
Of the 12,882 New Brunswick residents who applied for antlerless deer permits, 38.8 per cent were successful. Applicants can determine if they are eligible to receive a validation sticker by checking the last two digits of their 2008 resident deer-hunting licence number with the two-digit numbers listed under the wildlife management zone in which the hunter applied.
Antlerless deer sticker holders may harvest a deer of either gender within the wildlife management zone designated on their tag, or an antlered deer in any area of the province that is open for the deer-hunting season.
Only one deer may be harvested by each licensed hunter. Those applicants not selected in the antlerless deer tag draw will be limited to hunting antlered deer only during the 2008 deer season.
Northern New Brunswick wildlife management zones 3, 4, 5, and 9 remain closed for deer hunting during the 2008 season. Hunters are reminded that deer harvested in open zones must be registered before entering closed zones.
Wildlife management zones 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19 and 25 are open for antlered deer hunting only. Antlerless deer harvested in zones open for antlerless deer hunting must be registered before entering wildlife management zones 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19 and 25.
Applicants with Internet access may check their draw success by visiting the Department of Natural Resources website at www.gnb.ca/naturalresources.

Analog elevtronics toolbox Test for me as viewer, not learner
Good application.
MOTOROLA MOTO G This App is Great.Good design,& Easy to Use.
Best app ever
Very poor compared to IPhone version For an electronics toolbox it's missing ALOT of features that the IPhone version has. Elektor has "thrown" this together and made no attempt to make it graphically appealling (again unlike IPhone version). If I could get a refund I would. Wait until Elektor sort out an update, disappointed so far...
What's New
All the action buttons are moved to a second action bar at the bottom of the screen.

4 of 7
Monsters, Inc.
In Monsters, Inc., Pixar gives us a glimpse into the lives of the creatures who hide under our beds bumping in the night and even seeking refuge in our closets. The town of Monstropolis' power source is the number of screams collected from children. Secretly, the monsters view kids as dangerous and toxic. But the tables turn on the monsters when 2-year-old Boo follows them into the closet and invades their world. Sully (voiced by John Goodman) and Mike (voiced by Billy Crystal), top scream generators of Monsters, Inc.—the largest scare factory in Monstropolis—embark on a side-splitting quest to bring Boo home. The scary creatures deliver an unexpected charm that not only calms our fears, but also nurtures them with laughter.

I'm working on my VIRMP personal statement (after staring at a blank page for about 5 hours) and I was wondering if anyone knows a good length for one. I found that it shouldn't be more than one page, but I feel like that isn't enough! Anyone having trouble with this part of the application? I have never had such writer's block!

With a big first two at-bats, the White Rock Little League Juniors All-Stars looked to have Tuesday's elimination game under control.
But the Pojoaque Valley All-Stars simply wouldn't go away.
Pojoaque would come back not only from a 6-0 deficit, but would erase a late 8-6 White Rock advantage to win 9-8 in the District 1 Juniors tournament at Virchow Field.
The win puts Pojoaque into a playoff with Los Alamos for the District 1 championship and the right to advance to the state Juniors playoffs.
Los Alamos and Pojoaque will meet tonight at 6:30 p.m.
Pojoaque must defeat Los Alamos' All-Stars twice to advance, while Los Alamos needs just one win, either tonight or in Wednesday's elimination game if that game is necessary.
"We would've liked to win this game, but we played good," White Rock manager Tim Nelson said. "We don't have any regrets."
After a fast start Tuesday, White Rock went quiet for most of the rest of the game.
In the top of the first, White Rock pounded out four hits, including a double by Thomas Russell, to push four runs across. In the top of the second, after Pojoaque went down 1-2-3 against starting White Rock pitcher Ben Nelson, White Rock got another pair across on a RBI double from Zak Coker and a RBI single by Nelson.

DC Reviews
Reviewer: Matt M from Cleveland Ohio
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Fit is a bit tight around the foot near the toe to the first lace. Definitely smaller than size listed when compared to Vans.
Reviewer: Jennie Paulino from Hamilton, NJ
Overall: Comfort: Style:
These are attractive and true to color, but have started falling apart after 3 weeks of light wear. The sole is peeling apart and crumbling. I'd advice choosing other shoes.
Reviewer: Mark from Wisconsin
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I ordered these in a size 14 but they were so narrow and small that I could not even get my feet in them. How hard is it to find someone with a 14 foot and have them try on a shoe to make sure they are making them right? Jeesh. I am so disappointed. I was hoping to find an alternative to Vans which run on the small side but, compared to these, Vans are wide and enormous. I tried another lace up, the DC Trase, and had the exact same problem. For DCs to fit, judging from this, I would need to buy a 16 and I have never had to order anything bigger than a 13-14 in my life. I am not happy and will not try their shoes again.
Reviewer: Mark from Wisconsin
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Really disappointed. These rated as wider and a little bigger than Vans but when I got them they were smaller. I ordered size 14 and they felt like I was trying to put on a Vans 12. Really narrow and tight. They look great, I just wish someone in the industry could agree on what a size 13 or 14 actually is instead of always having to guess and play this "see-if-it-fits" game.
Reviewer: from massillon, OH
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Reviewer: Brady Bergman from Kansas
Overall: Comfort: Style:
These shoes are great. I tried the same style of skate shoes in vans and Nike finding them too narrow. The Nikes were terribly uncomfortable. (I apparently have a bit of a wide foot.) After about a week of wearing they have broken in nicely. Cool style. Moderate grip and arch support. I originally bought them for motorcycle riding but now wear them every day.
Reviewer: Andrew Dickman from Baltimore, MD
Overall: Comfort: Style:
These shoes are very comfortable and have excellent padding. I've worn them for a few days and they feel secure and sturdy. I have narrow feet and the padding offers enough substantial support that I don't have to pull the laces super tight. The insoles, however, offer next to no support. I regularly use Ten Second flat foot insoles in all my shoes and they work wonders. I regularly where a 10-10.5, and a 10 in these fits perfectly. These shoes look nice, seem well-made, are comfortable and, as always, Zappos service was exceptional.
Reviewer: Mark Wood from Ft Worth
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Reviewer: Salvador Alejo from Fresno county
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Customer Service is awesome. Product is great, on time delivery. Totally awesome company.
Reviewer: Tro Taylor from Louisville Ky
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Soft, roomy and wide, fat padded tongue keeps things snug. I have big, wide feet so these are the perfect match for me.
Reviewer: Paul Harris from Colorado
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I love these shoes. I use them for skydiving and they are pretty well padded so landings are soft and they glide across the grass easily!
Reviewer: from Lavale, maryland
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Love these shoes! Light weight and comfortable and good looking. I'll be ordering another pair in red shortly.
Reviewer: Shimika D Kutz from
Overall: Comfort: Style:
The style and design of the shoes exceeded the picture. Affordable price for a quality shoe. My son is happy and my pockets are excited.
Reviewer: George McDaniel from Denver,Colorado
Overall: Comfort: Style:
They are very comfortable will be recommending these to everyone. I got size 13. They felt a little bit bigger then my DC court which is also 13. Wish they had .5 size smaller but they will work.
Reviewer: John Krause from Brooklyn NY
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Super comfy! I have recently had a foot reconstruction, and it is very hard to find shoes that don't irritate the scar tissue. These are doing very well! Comfortable foot beds, and nice soles. Just the right amount of support versus give on the uppers give this shoe five stars for me. I'm going to purchase a second pair shortly!
Reviewer: Mister Mau5 from
Overall: Comfort: Style:
These are great Shoes. They fit well and run true to size. They provide great arch support as well. I bought them originally to skate with, using them for evenings out instead. Just get them, they are great.
Reviewer: murph from Orlando
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Got these little beauties for my son & so far he's really digging 'em. Dosed on the back to school date thought I ordered them late for first day but pleasantly they arrived ahead of schedule. So all around wow from me.
Reviewer: from Virginia
Overall: Comfort: Style:
These are the 2nd pair of DC shoes I've ordered for my 16-yr old son (size 14 shoe). They are durable & comfortable - perfect for school and weekends. He loves them.
Reviewer: from CA
Overall: Comfort: Style:
The size is accurate, the comfort is there; the price is reasonable. As long as this Net model is available I'm happy.
Reviewer: from
Overall: Comfort: Style:
My husband loves these shoes. I buy him a couple pairs a year and he says they are really comfortable.
Reviewer: V Van Komen from Utah
Overall: Comfort: Style:
These are really good looking shoes. Bought them for my grandson because he loves the DC brand. He really liked them when I gave them to him and they look really sharp on him. DC makes a very nice shoe!

As of Thursday, May 23, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Brookwood grad Jessica Neidigh, a sophomore at Anderson University, was named the first-team Daktronics All-American selection at second base this week.
Neidigh, an All-South Atlantic Conference selection, started every game this season as the Trojans posted a school-record 40 wins en route to the school's first-ever appearance in the NCAA's Southeast Super Regional
Neidigh ranked 15th in the nation and led the SAC with a .457 batting average and 66 runs scored from her leadoff spot. She finished with a league-leading 90 hits on the season, and posted a team-best 17-game hitting streak between the season opener vs. Augusta State on Feb. 2 and Feb. 27.
She earned SAC Player of the Week accolades in early April after going a perfect 9-for-9 in the weekend doubleheader at Lincoln Memorial and hit .731 on the week (19-of-26), with three doubles, a triple and a home run and scored nine runs, while driving in six runs. She posted a slugging percentage of 1.038. Neidigh recorded 29 multi-hit games during the season.
"It is quite an honor for Jessica especially considering she is just a sophomore," said Anderson head coach Tommy Hewitt. "This proves she is one of the best out there."

ALBANY, Calif.Sudden oak death, Port-Orford-cedar root disease and other deadly tree diseases caused by Phytophthora species (pronounced fy-TOF-ther-uhs) are threatening forest ecosystems worldwide. These microorganisms, which are related to algae and diatoms, spend part of their life cycle in soil or water but once they infect trees, they can kill them. A new web site, developed jointly by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station and Oregon State University, hopes to put knowledge and resources in the hands of scientists and land managers as they look for ways to fight these deadly diseases.
Some Phytophthoras have likely been introduced to forests through the planting of infested ornamental nursery plants, such as rhododendrons and Lawson's cypress. The diseases are difficult to control in part because infected plants show only indistinct leaf spots, which go unnoticed until the pathogen escapes a garden and kills a neighboring forest tree.
The Forest Phytophthoras of the World web site (www.forestphytophthoras.org/) is part of a worldwide effort to protect forests by preventing the spread of these exotic microbes. Information on forest Phytophthoras is currently scattered, making it difficult and time consuming for professionals to keep up with scientific literature, regulatory programs, management activities and educational materials on the topic.
Funded by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station, and created and maintained by Jennifer Parke at Oregon State University, the site will serve as an international resource where scientists, students, forest managers, regulators, policy makers and the public can share the latest information on species of Phytophthora that affect the world's forests.
The web site currently features profiles of 10 forest Phytophthora species and the diseases they caus

Additional Information
About Fondo EsperanzaFondo Esperanza (FE) is a private non-profit organization that supports entrepreneurship by providing micro-credit and training to people living in poverty in well over 100 cities throughout Chile. By providing these services, FE aims to improve the living conditions of the entrepreneurs and their families. In 2010, FE provided loans to more than 41,000 entrepreneurs. It utilizes a communal banking model in which groups of 18 to 25 clients meet on regularly and guarantee each other's loans. The members use their portion of the loan to create or expand their own businesses. In the group meetings, clients receive training though the FE Entrepreneurship School, which enhances clients' personal and business skills and ability to work in groups.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

APP OF THE DAY: Beyond Ynth HD and Xmas Edition review (Android)
It's not uncommon for popular apps to roll out an update for Christmas, a special festive version to see you into the holidays with a bit of gaming cheer. They don't always make for the best apps, but when they're free, you can't complain too much.
Of course, when the free Xmas Edition is so much fun, even if it is only about 20 mins of game play, you've got what is effectively a killer tool for promoting your proper app. For this reason we've bundled together Beyond Ynth HD with the Xmas Edition for our App of the Day because that's exactly how these apps sit together.
Beyond Ynth HD and Beyond Ynth Xmas Edition
- Platform
- Android
- Price
- £2.40/Free
- Where
- Android Market
Beyond Ynth is the story of Kribl, an intrepid bug on his quest to restore light to the Kingdom of Kriblonia. The game itself has been on the iPad for some time, recently making the move over the Android. We tested it on the Motorola Xoom.
The first things to say is that Beyond Ynth looks stunning, with nice sharp graphics and simple game play. This is a puzzle platform game weaved into an adventure story, so you have tasks to complete along the way.
The game play revolves around navigating levels and collecting either the crystals or the presents that Santa has dropped along the way. It's nicely put together and adding the story makes this feel slightly more complete than something like Cut the Rope.
Kribl is incredibly cute and responds well to the on-screen controls as you set off on your adventures. Navigation basically consists of moving, jumping and rolling obstacles.
Kribl may be small, be he certainly is mighty, as he can roll over some of the structures that make up the levels. Often this is simply a case of rolling it over to help you move up to a ledge, but there is enough variety to keep the game interesting.
We also like the fact that this isn't all there is too it. Move into the snow environment of the Xmas Edition and you can only survive so long outside exposed to the elements. In many cases, solving the puzzle to complete the level means thinking ahead. You can find yourself trapped and unable to continue, if you don't think several step ahead.
There are 80 levels on offer in Beyond Ynth HD, which the developers FDG Entertainment tell us should give you about 15 hours of gaming. For some the price of £2.49 might be a little steep considering how many levels some rival free puzzlers will offer you, but the polish on the game is excellent and well worth paying for.
As we said at the beginning the Xmas Edition is free, giving you five levels, so you can see if you want to pay for more and enjoy the Christmas storyline. We're pretty sure you will want more, though, as it's a great game and looks especially good on big screen devices.

Some savvy investors have said gold is the ultimate Internet stock, and last week it actually began to behave like one.
For much of the week, the SPDR Gold Trust GLD 2.117492738686405% SPDR Gold Trust U.S.: NYSE Arca 108.99 2.26 2.117492738686405% /Date(1443819600018-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7647553 AFTER HOURS 109.01 0.02 0.018350307367648408% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 83094 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (ticker: GLD) danced around the stock market, mostly sliding lower until weak Friday jobs data sent the price higher.
Now we have a standoff in the options market between bulls and bears. On one hand, many investors are betting the SPDR Gold Trust, recently at about $152, will fall to at least $144 and take out the 52-week low of $148.53. The rally in the SPDR Gold Trust on Friday shows just how skittish investors are—and this should keep gold a hot, volatile investment that's ideal for trading options.
The key price level to watch is $150, a quasi-support level. Near there, traders are aggressively buying puts that expire in up to three months to profit from a bigger fall.
During the past week, bearish puts that would increase in value if the SPDR Gold Trust fell to $144 were rampant when the exchange-traded fund was at $151. When the fund neared $150, the $148 puts became unusually active. The weak jobs data prompted some investors to cover their shorts, but the bear trade is still on as options trading patterns smack of nothing more than traders banging that which is banged up in hopes it will make a spectacular Humpty Dumpty-like fall. "Every commodity trader in the world is a momentum trader, and now they're playing the downside," a senior trader at a top global trading fund told me.
If you want to join the party, think about buying the SPDR Gold Trust April $147 put that expires Friday, April 12, for 59 cents. If the SPDR Gold Trust is at $144, the put is worth $3. If you do not mind spending more money on the put, look for puts that expire in about three months.
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE Commission just officially sanctioned social media as an approved mechanism for distributing material financial information to investors. Investors should monitor corporate Websites to confirm which social media outlet will be used to release information ranging from quarterly earnings reports to corporate news. Twitter, which sorts stock news by applying a dollar sign before tickers—as in $AAPL for Apple, aapl 0.7300602299689725% Apple Inc.

If Facebook is handled cleverly, corporations will use it to add dimension to corporate executives who often appear to the public like mono-dimensional automatons.
And if Facebook and Twitter execs are savvy, and they are, they could create investor-relations functionality to sell to corporations. The integration of social media and corporate investor relations should create rich material for business-school professors who will likely write research papers about how execs with thoughtful Facebook pages have higher and less volatile stock prices, because investors feel they trust them and know them because of their social-media presence.
I HAVE BEEN A MAJOR TWITTER fan and user for about five years. I find Twitter an indispensable tool for collating, controlling and calibrating financial information posted by smart investors. I also use Twitter to receive information from important sources like the Federal Reserve. If you weren't paying attention in June 2009 when I first wrote that Twitter was becoming intertwined with the financial markets and investing community ("For Markets, How Tweet It Is," June 22, 2009), I hope you'll do so now.
Of course, the SEC's endorsement of Twitter and Facebook means they are now less cool than hemorrhoid ointment. But the irony is that someone will post or tweet about the next new wrinkle in social media, and you'll know about it because of Twitter and Facebook.
