AIRLIE WARD, PRESENTER: Tonight on Stateline - a year down the track and against the odds, Betfair wins over the racing industry.
GARY WHITE, HORSE TRAINER: I just think it's got so much growth. We haven't even started to scratch the surface yet.
AIRLIE WARD: Cult comics for adults.
MATT COYLE, ARTIST: I've always been drawn to frightening images because you get the combination of excitement and fear.
AIRLIE WARD: And winding back the clock. Remembering the State's first daylight savings.
Hello, I'm Airlie Ward. It's just over a year since the Tasmanian Government did what no other State would - amid much controversy, it granted the UK-based company Betfair a gaming licence. Most industry figures said it would be a disaster for Tasmanian horse racing. There were fears the online betting exchange would attract criminals and ruin the integrity of racing while stripping money from Tote Tasmania and local book makers. Now, 12 months on, many of the fiercest critics have changed their tune.
SALLY GLAETZER: Three-year-old filly Easy Decision began her racing career last month. She's owned by a syndicate of three friends who are counting on her becoming a place-getter at State-based races.
DAMIAN WICKHAM, HORSE OWNER: Probably win at least five or six races. That would be really good because just your maiden races are now worth about $9,000 on their own so divvy that between the three of us - if we were able to divvy it between the three of us five or six times we would start to get our money back and start to make a profit then.
SALLY GLAETZER: Thanks to a recent increase in stakes money across Tasmanian racing, Damien Wickham says it's now easier to make money out of owning horses.
DAMIAN WICKHAM: Makes a massive difference. Instead of just covering the costs with the winnings, if you're lucky enough to actually win a really good race in Tassie, which most races carry good prize money, you would be able to diversify that in to breeding or some other form in the horse industry. It is always nice to put something back into the industry that feeds you. Because if you just draw from it, the industry's soon gonna crumble.
SALLY GLAETZER: Betfair's Hobart office and call centre has been up and running since August, helping the company process millions of bets a day on everything from sporting events to reality television shows. The online betting exchange allows punters to set their own odds and field bets from other gamblers. The Tasmanian Government granted the UK company and its Australian partner Publishing and Broadcasting Limited a licence in January. Opponents said it would ruin Tasmanian racing.
GARY WHITE, HORSE TRAINER: Everyone was dubious when it first come on board and a lot of negative feedback. As it's worked out, Betfair's just been fantastic and obviously, put our industry where it should be, up there and being respected and I'm sure there isn't a participant in our industry that's not positive about what Betfair's done.
SALLY GLAETZER: Interstate racing authorities said Betfair would damage the sport's integrity and it was feared Tasmania would be shunned by the other states. New Victorian laws were introduced banning Betfair from publishing Victorian race fields without official permission, but mid last year Racing Victoria did a back flip and gave Betfair permission to cover races in that State.
ANDREW TWAITES, BETFAIR: The great thing for Tasmania is we pay 15% tax for every dollar we make on Australian racing and sporting events and a 20% levy on every dollars that we make on Australian racing back to Tasmania and that comes from punters who are betting with us on Australian events right throughout the world.
SALLY GLAETZER: In its first 12 months, Betfair says that's amounted to $10 million to Tasmania through taxes and levies. That's even satisfied one of the most outspoken Betfair sceptics, Tasmania's Thoroughbred Racing Council. The council's fears about the potential for race fixing have also vanished.
GEOFF HARPER, THOROUGHBRED RACING COUNCIL: The Government's negotiated an excellent deal on revenue and we have unprecedented access to the punters on files without being intrusive on those files if there's any untoward betting movement. Both those things were satisfied. Had they been offered first up there probably would have been no opposition through the racing industry to Betfair.
SALLY GLAETZER: Doomsayers predicted Betfair would strip earnings from Tote Tasmania and independent book makers but it seems there is enough money to go around.
MICHAEL KENT, TOTE TASMANIA: We are reaching double digit figures based on this year against last year. We are more than happy with the progress that Tote Tasmania is making in Tasmania.
ANDREW TWAITES: We offer to guarantee that the revenue would not drop. We don't think we'll need to call on the guarantee because it is pleasing to see that Tote Tasmania's revenue has continued to increase since we've been licensed.
MICHAEL KENT: Betfair is 100% internet. We have phone betting, we have Internet and betting shops, our agencies and we have shops within various hotels around Tasmania. So we're - that is the reason I believe that we're doing so well.
SALLY GLAETZER: Even book makers at last month's Hobart Cup, who once feared for their livelihoods, are now more than happy to embrace Betfair. A recent rule change for Tasmanian thoroughbred and harness races has allowed bookies to access Betfair themselves at the track.
NICK WHELAN, BOOKMAKER: We can now go to the races with the knowledge that we can take bigger bets, we can put some money on Betfair or we can lay other horses that we may not be able to lay on track. It gives us a lot more confidence to do our job.
BOB TURNER, BOOKMAKER: There were concerns with officialdom in New South Wales that the introduction of Betfair would mean less money turned over on the calls, Tote would hold less, bookies would hold less and the industry would make less money, but we feel after Betfair's been down here nearly 12 months, none of those things have eventuated.
SALLY GLAETZER: The State Government's deal with Betfair includes $10 million over two years to increase stakes money across thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing. Local horse trainers and owners admit they were once vehemently opposed to Betfair, now they say it's given the industry the boost it needed, allowing them to buy more horses and employ more staff.
GARY WHITE: Now with the industry the way it's going with the increase in prize money, you can justify paying the wages that they deserve.
SALLY GLAETZER: Stakes for Tasmania's Sunday races have increased by $1500 a race.
GARY WHITE: It is the only State in Australia where you go along and get paid for a yearling, $10,000 a yearling, which is normally the average yearling price and race for that stake money every Sunday.
SALLY GLAETZER: The increased returns for owning a horse were reflected at this week's Magic Millions Thoroughbred sale in Launceston. The average sale price here was $15,500, up from $11,500 in 2005. Social welfare groups say they're yet to see an increase in problem gambling as a result of Betfair. They're waiting on a major study looking at the social and economic impact of gambling in Tasmania, that's due to be completed next year.
NICK WEETMAN, RELATIONSHIPS AUSTRALIA: We're concerned there's perhaps not enough information out there at the moment to forewarn young people about the dangers, and secondly we notice that the Betfair site, it is possible to get to a help reference on that site but you have to go through quite a few links to get there.
ANDREW TWAITES: The number of punters we have in Tasmania is in the hundreds, it's not in the thousands. So we're nowhere near as big as Tote Tasmania and we don't plan to be, quite frankly. Our target was to get to 4% of the wagering market in Australia after five years. We're well on the way to achieving that. We operate in a niche area of the market, at the more sophisticated end of the market.
SALLY GLAETZER: Betfair may have officially won over the critics in Tasmania and Victoria but it still has some ground work to do in convincing the other states. It's fighting to overturn laws that prevent it advertising interstate.
The company has also taken High Court action against the Western Australian Government over its new laws banning the use of betting exchanges. Those in Tasmanian racing hope Betfair is here to stay.
GEOFF HARPER: I think we're on the cusp of people substantially investing in Australian racing. I don't think it's far beyond seeing overseas operators investing $15 million to $20 million in the Tasmanian economy setting up agistment and horse rearing properties, particularly up along the north-west coast. Look, I can see that happening in the next two years.
GARY WHITE: The yearling prices and stake money will go up. I just think the industry will grow and grow. I don't think we've tapped in to this industry yet. It is so passionate and an industry where the whole family can be involved. I think it's got so much growth. We haven't even started to scratch the surface yet.

Iced Earth album news
will this band ever do something not contrived?
is ripper owens still their singer?
Album art is cool but I'm fairly certain this won't be very good. "The Crucible of Man" was laughably bad.
Digging: Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult - Hora Nocturna
Other than the "Iced Earth" the album cover looks death as hell
"Album art is cool but I'm fairly certain this won't be very good. "The Crucible of Man" was laughably bad."
Uh, there was an album after that buddy. And it was a pretty solid one, at that.
That is some badass artwork. The last album they put out was Dystopia and I thought it was pretty damn solid. Their current singer who sang on the Dystopia album is Stu Block, formerly of Into Eternity.
Love the album art...probably the best they've had since Horror Show.
Who edited this? Why'd you fuck up the capitalisation?
Not a big fan of the album art unless it has death/gore influences. Something Wicked was the last album of theirs I really enjoyed...
Digging: Fates Warning - Theories of Flight
Uh, there was an album after that buddy. And it was a pretty solid one, at that.
Still don't expect this to be very good. Probably on-par with the new Sepultura.
Dystopia was a return to form, so really looking forward to this. Artwork is awesome, whether it fits the music is yet to be seen.
Digging: Earthside - A Dream In Static
Dystopia was a decent album and I can't see how they will write something worthy. But I will check nonetheless.
Will rule
These guys are hilarious.
will Ire ever post a comment that isn't so contrived????
Will be happy enough if the album is solid, always enjoy some Iced Earth from time to time but Schaffer's songwriting ability is unfortunately very limited, has always been the band's greatest weakness.
Well that's a bit odd, I always thought of Schaffer as a solid songwriter.
He is, but he has been recycling the same handful of general approaches over and over.
ty i thought we wur cool
Dystopia was ok but not at the same level of the old albums like burnt offerings and something wicked. Band hasn't been the same sadly, that a shame cuz they used to rule.
Sweet, even in their lowest, Iced Earth are a solid band.

text: Ninjask @ Leftovers Trait: Speed Boost EVs: 248HP, 8SpDef, 252Spd Nature: Calm ~ Substitute ~ Protect ~ Swords Dance ~ Baton Pass Ninjask does the only thing it can do. Stalling with Substitute and Protect while gaining Speed Boosts. If it manages to keep a Substitute up for more than a turn, I can start Swords Dancing behind it. When I have enough boosts, I can Pass into Espeon for a Stored Power sweep. Starmie @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252SpAtk, 4SpDef, 252Spd Nature: Timid ~ Rapid Spin ~ Thunderbolt ~ Ice Beam ~ Surf A standard set for Starmie. Rapid Spin protects me from ever present entry hazards, especially if I want to get Ninjask back out. Dragonite @ Lum Berry Trait: Multiscale EVs: 252Atk, 4SpDef, 252Spd Nature: Adamant ~ Outrage ~ Fire Punch ~ Superpower ~ Roost This is a basic Dragonite set for me. Lum Berry gives him versatility by protecting him from status or Outrage's confusion. Fire Punch and Superpower let me oust pesky Steel and Ice types, and Roost is, well, Roost. Gengar @ Life Orb Trait: Levitate EVs: 4HP, 252SpAtk, 252Spd Nature: Timid ~ Taunt ~ Shadow Ball ~ Giga Drain ~ HP Fire A taunting Gengar can stop setups and Roars and other status moves, while his other 3 moves give him a decent coverage over most Pokemon. Breloom @ Lum Berry Trait: Technician EVs: 4HP, 252Atk, 252Spd Nature: Jolly ~ Bullet Seed ~ Mach Punch ~ Substitute ~ Spore I personally prefer Techniloom over Poison Heal, mostly due to the fact that it gives me more power for Bullet Seed and Mach Punch. I usually pass into him from Espeon, often passing along Speed and Attack boosts. Espeon @ Leftovers Trait: Magic Bounce EVs: 4HP, 252SpAtk, 252Spd Nature: Modest ~ Baton Pass ~ Psyshock ~ Stored Power ~ HP Fighting With all the boosts from Ninjask, Stored Power can reach insane levels. HP Fighting lets me cover Dark type switch-ins, and Psyshock is for when I fail to set up with Ninjask. Baton Pass gives me an escape option, while still keeping the powerups. Her ability Magic Bounce protects me from Roar and status moves. Overall, this team wins about half of the time, but outside of simulators, it almost always wins.

Chatology: The iMessage Companion Serious Chatters NeedMatthew Guay on June 19th 2013
iMessage is a great idea. It makes SMS and MMS a thing of the past, between iPhones at any rate, and is as fast and full-featured a one-to-one chat system as you could want. With the Messages app on the Mac and iPad as well, it's the best of old-school chat and SMS, rolled into one.
At least, it's supposed to be, theoretically. In real world usage, though, iMessage doesn't always work perfect. It works best between iPhones, in my use at least, but can often get things messed up when syncing to the Mac. Then, Messages.app itself on OS X is a rather anemic messaging program, despite including support Jabber and other chat services that were traditionally included in iChat. It works for chatting, but if you need to dig deep into your chat archives to find a file someone sent you, you're going to have a tough time.
That's why the folks at Flexibits — the people behind my favorite calendar app, Fantastical — made Chatology. It's the companion app for Messages.app that can make iMessage a power-user tool. (more…)

|Supply and demand
The corruption issues come because the NCAA's rules basically fix the price of a valuable product that has limited supply and high demand (the labor of high-quality college-eligible football players) at "scholarship, room and board." Markets being what they are, that rarely works.
Allowing schools to effectively compete on price through this kind of system will decrease the need for their boosters to do so behind the scenes. It'll create a more efficient market because everyone will be able to see roughly what their competitors are offering and players can openly share those offers in negotatiations with other schools.
Kids will get paid. Some will be worth it, some won't. But there's so damn much money sloshing around college football that it's good they'll see some of it.

If your RB's regularly running into defenders while still in the backfield, the fault is rarely with them. It's more likely with the blockers and playcalling that allowed those defenders into the backfield in the first place.

It's been "Ugh, if he's starting then we must not have anybody better" for too long, now we're starting to move to "Wow, if he's not starting then it must mean that we've got somebody even better."

|I'll repost what I said over
I'll repost what I said over the gameday thread then try to add a bit:
The big theme of the day was that this is the 150th anniversary of Michigan athletics, with the baseball team being the first sport. Lots of video of athletes in all sorts of sports training -- first time I've ever seen a women's track and field athlete throw a discus in a Big House video. Halftime show of the band was celebrating that, spelling out all sorts of words like COMPETITION and EXCELLENCE and TRADITION and YOST and ending with THOSE WHO STAY. (Plus a cool animated band stick figure thing with soccer and basketball players and the flag corps playing the ball.) Some voiceover bits from various Michigan people, from the drum major to Schlissel to football players and beyond reading Yost's "this Michigan of ours" piece.
Most of the video board interstitials were those short "Who's Got It Better Than Us?" videos they've been running in social media.
They welcomed the freshmen and other new students in the crowd to the Michigan family and had the rest of the crowd give them a round of applause.
Beilein won a NCAA sportsmanship award and got it in the endzone. Place got a bit loud for him, as well as for the WWII veteran who left UM in 1942 to fight in the Pacific they introduced.
Even the flyover was slightly de-Brandonized -- yeah, there were a pair of jets that went over, T-38 trainers from some Air Force training unit on the East Coast. But the twist was that the two pilots were USAF lieutenant colonels who were both Michigan Engineering graduates. (There was apparently some parachute thing from SOCOM that got cancelled because of weather. I'm slightly concerned that our elite commandos can't parachute through relatively high clouds and hit a 100 yard x 55 yard target.)
In general, a very happy and engaged crowd. Louder than I'd heard it in a while.

|The stadium experience
Beyond the play on the field, the stadium experience was night and day. There wasn't a single advertisement on the video boards that was trying to get us to have our weddings at the Big House or download an app or join the Victors Club or some such. We were asked to go to the field hockey and volleyball games, that's it.
The pregame hype video was spectacular, I need to find it online. Chills.
Sponsors were much harder to find. Pom poms were unbranded. There wasn't even an ABC Sports banner hanging on the wall that I could see.
The band now has a hype video. They played a heck of a lot more between snaps and series. Even the volume on the scoreboard speakers was down pretty significantly -- which was an issue because it was hard (at least where I sit under the press box) to hear the referee's penalty calls.
At halftime, the "This is no longer Dave Brandon's Michigan Experience" vibe lost all pretense at subtlety when the band started spelling out things like "TRADITION" and "YOST."
It was the least monetized I've felt at a Michigan game in many years. Then they started running the ball up the middle out of an I formation and holding the opponent to 1/11 on third downs.
It was glorious.

|45 weeks 5 days ago
As a former reporter and editor...nah. Asking a question that the interviewee won't answer isn't a bad thing. If Adam had been doing a one-on-one interview and left without enough to write a story that's one thing, but in a press conference format where he's transcribing a Q&A rather than working up a bylined piece it's good to try to get something that'd be of interest to his audience rather than more "talk about..." fluff generated by the general-audience beat writers.

|Turnover margin
Stupid question: Do blocked punts/kicks technically count toward turnovers? What if they're recovered vs. turned over on downs?
Because if so, the Baxter Effect may come into play in moving the turnover margin given our inability to do anything meaningful in this component of the game in recent years.

I really, really like this case. Very flexible for the knives and tools i carry daily to work. I have had it since March. Over the summer it began to tear along the zipper strip. In less than a year it is so bad that stuff falls out. I am shopping for a new one - won't be this.
Thank you for your feedback.

Ive got a full set of Mundial cutlery and the case works well for what I have. But there are several draw backs, the elastic holsters line both edges of the case which is ok but if you have anything larger than the 6in chef knife you're over lapping the other side. The slots for the knife handles themselvs are very tight so you have to watch your fingers putting your knives in unless you pull everything out to put it back in, and the zipper is a little stiff, but that should losten with time. It was a little smaller and pricy for what they are advertising which int what I expected considering it's supposed to hold upto 16 knives(I own 12 and can only fit my kitchen knives on one side). Other than those few things its very stable and heavy duty, the handle feels good in the hand and the strap is light on the shoulder and is an ok addition for one looking to have a matching case to their set.
Thank you for your feedback.

* Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10-12 minutes. Remove from water, cool and peel. Slice eggs in half, remove yolks and transfer them to a small mixing bowl.
* Combine the avocado, cilantro, green onion and jalapeno peppers with the yolks. Stir in lime juice and season with salt, pepper, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and mustard.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
OK, One Exception
by Paul on 03/30/07 at 10:32 AM ET
Comments (0)
via Darren Dreger at TSN,
The NHL's injury disclosure police are out in full force. While mindful of players' safety, the league is reminding teams to follow the guidelines of a policy introduced last week that encourages clubs report proximity of injuries.
On Tuesday night the Ottawa Senators reported Patrick Eaves suffered a "lower body" injury after getting hit with the puck.
According to policy, "lower body" is no longer acceptable.
Based on the video evidence that clearly shows where the puck made contact…in this case, an exception is understandable.

Skip to comments.Senator Ted Cruz Is Shaking Things Up In Washington
Posted on 02/25/2013 4:46:13 AM PST by LD Jackson
Newly elected junior Senator Ted Cruz is really shaking things up in Washington. He campaigned on a promise to do just that and he has easily fulfilled that promise, even though he has been in Washington for less than two months. In the United States Senate, things are supposed to be genial and comfortable, or so says the status quo. Ted Cruz is not playing along and some of his fellow Senators aren't so happy about his unwillingness to go along, just to get along. I would contend that's maybe what we need in Washington, someone who will see what needs to be done and follow through, no matter whose feathers are ruffled along the way.
(Fox News) Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz has earned a few nicknames in the brief seven weeks hes been in Congress including the unflattering Senator No. But nobody can say the freshman senator has broken his campaign promise to shake up Washington upon arrival.I would contend that Senator Ted Cruz is following a path that was blazed by other Senators, such as Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe, both from Oklahoma. Neither man has followed the genial path through the Senate, with Dr. Tom Coburn earning the nickname of "Dr. No". In a chamber filled with overblown egos on both sides of the political spectrum, maybe it's time we had more than a few men and women who went to Washington and represented their states and the people who elected them, instead of stroking their own ego because they managed to spend enough money to become a United States Senator.
The Tea Party-backed candidate has so far made good on vows to be combative and uncompromising in his adherence to conservative principles.
The 42-year-old Cruz has already voted against Senate rule changes to modestly curb filibusters, aid for Superstorm Sandy victims and the Violence Against Women Act.
He also was one of only three "no" votes against Massachusetts Democratic Sen. John Kerry's nomination to be secretary of State. And he publicly skewered President Obamas nominee for Defense secretary, former Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel.
All of that has helped Cruz earn such nicknames as Cruz Missile, Senator No and even The GOP's Nasty Newcomer.
He also was featured in the past few weeks by Politico and The New York Times.
Senior Texas Sen. John Cornyn and voters across the state have praised Cruz for his brashness and sticking to his principles.
"He's been a terrific partner," Cornyn said. "What he's finding is there's a lot of critics in Washington when you try to change the status quo."
At a stop last week at Lodge Lumber, in Houston, owner John Lodge said Cruz seems like the first elected official in a long while who is on his side.
If you want to read more about Senator Ted Cruz, from someone who is from Texas and knows his background, I suggest you visit Texas Fred. He is more than a little familiar with Ted Cruz and can tell you more about him, than can I.
Cruz is quickly becoming my favorite guy in Washington. He's got the skills to buck the party. Since he is born Canada, he can't be President, but he can be a force for major change in the Senate.
I like Cruz so far, but let's wait a while to see if he becomes just another scumbag politician in it for himself.
Seen it WAY too many times.
I also am paying attention to the good Senator from Texas. I also find a resemblance , facially to Sen. Joe McCarthy. Just an observation.
I am very pleased so far with this vote. Cruz was my firrst pick, and a long shot to beat Do-hurst. Now that he is there I hope he stays three or four terms and sticks to his guns.
I continue to be prouder and prouder of my vote for Ted Cruz!!!
I'm with you. Time changes (most) everything. I hope he holds true to what he said he'd do.
Unlike Hussein whose Father was Kenyan and citizen of the British Crown —— Hence, Obummer could not have been President either, Right?
Our kinda guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not mine. He another one of the cowards still unwilling to insist that Obama PROVE he is eligible. Until then, he's just another part of the problem. Talk is cheap.
It doesn't matter where the President was born anymore. Oh! I forgot, Cruz is a Republican. Sorry...I lost my head for a minute.
Thank you Texas, for sending this man to Washington! Now we have to pray he remains immune to the toxic fumes.
I approve of what Cruz has done except for protecting filibusters. I want to get rid of filibusters altogether.
There are a number of reasons, but in the long run it means that past legislative errors can be easily fixed by a new legislature.
IOW, ObamaCare could be ended with simple majorities in Senate and House and having the presidency.
Can one side do mischief if they have the 3 branches. Sure. But it can be undone. As it stands now, the Senate can block anything.
The way to show leadership is to convince others of your beliefs. He has not done that because everything he voted against ended up passing. When he can sway the Republican party to his ideals then I will be impressed until then he is having a pretty easy time.
As to the facial likeness to JRM, I now see it! Thanks for pointing it out. But his likeness otherwise is even more commendable.
I hope your right. We sure could us someone whom truly Represents US!
Mr. Cruz goes to Washington.
Running against Lt. Governor "Dirty" David Dewhurst
It was the nastiest primary ever in Texas. Rick Perry endorsed his Lt. Governor.
Hidden in the middle of the article, the author stated,
"..........maybe it's time we had more than a few men and women who went to Washington and represented their states and the people who elected them,"
Ya think?
John McCain was born in a then American territory, the Canal Zone. I still think he is/was ineligible because he was not born in the United States proper. I think Rubio is unfortunately also unqualified by birth to non citizen parents. More unfortunately, citizenship of any sort is pretty much a moot point and will be formally so when the current resident illegal alien in the WH finally proclaims his status after he leaves office or after he makes it permanent. General subsurface knowledge of the alien status of the current president has already softened Republican attitudes about running non Natural Borns. Democrats have long believed that anyone in the world is eligible to run for the US presidency and should be able to vote in US presidential elections on the theory that every act of the United States affects everyone in the world thus everyone should have political access.
Ted Cruz was the only bright spot on the ballot for me this year.
John McCain was born in a then American territory, the Canal Zone. I still think he is/was ineligible because he was not born in the United States proper
= = = = = = = = =
The only difference between McCain and Cruz/Rubio was that McCain SR was on Active duty in the Navy. (Of course because McCain's Mother/Father were married in a bar in Tijuana MAY raise suspicions <: <:)
Even Romney was 'accepted' though his father was born in Mexico while his family was on a "mission for the church" so, in essence, if I were to be STATIONED, by Government fiat in say Japan, a child that my wife birthed (providing she was a 'natural born US Citizen (as I) would not be eligible to be President"?
You wouldn't 'get away' with that if say two members of the 'Peace Corps' or 'Volunteer Overseas Mission' were involved in the same scenario.
"Since he is born Canada, he cant be President"
Personally I agree with you but if they try to run Rubio who is also not eligible due to the fact that neither of his parents were US citizens at the time of his birth then all bets are off.
So I see you are still looking, as the Jews are, for the TRUE Messiah. I would not hold my breath FRiend.
Romney's father was born in Mexico but the critical fact was that Romney's parents were both American citizens when Romney was born, That is not the case with Rubio. I like Rubio. I like Cruz. They are not, however, Natural Born Citizens, and neither is McCain, though I don't like him at all.McCain is in the "but, but..." category but he is still outside the zone.

I guess she's getting a bit top heavy. 4th qtr is historically the weakest. Most people got what they wanted here . A small climb that didn't add up to much %. 71 dollar stocks have to climb 10 dollars to get you any real money. Unless you have millions planted in it.
Heard the same sour grapes at 50 , 55 , 60, 65 and now above 70.Go back to the AAC board with the other losers.Which stock do you want in your portfolio.http://finance.yahoo.com/charts#chart5:symbol=rba;range=1y;compare=aac;charttype=line;crosshair=on;logscale=on;source=undefinedAnd you don't need millions - just patience and the discipline to let the winners run and occaisonally average UP. Doing quite well with 2250 sh at average of $26. (+ $2K dividends each year). And I don't worry about what the next report will bring. I don't worry about what the next crazy thing mgt might get int0, or cash flow ,or liquidity. Can you say the same?And if you think I work for RBA you don't understand how to invest. I am a stockholder in RBA and THEY work for ME.Can you honestly say the same for AAC and their mgt?
re:And I don't worry about what the next report will bring. I don't worry about what the next crazy thing mgt might get int0, or cash flow ,or liquidity. Can you say the same?You should as an investor. The 4th qtr is traditionally weak here. We wouldn't want to have those profits slip away.It's time to look for something, that is about to climb. Not something that already climbed. Living in the past is going to cost you $
I'm out. You can keep posting links to previous charts. It is getting top heavy. It's been a nice little ride.

About VancouverVancouver is the city of Canada located on the west coast to the south of the country. It is very close to the United States of America, and due to this fact, it is one of the favorite destinations for travelers coming to the Washington state and the city of Seattle, to visit Vancouver and the Vancouver Island and its capital, Victoria.
Vancouver is in the region of British Columbia and is considered as one of the cities with the best quality of life of the world. It is located in the Strait of Georgia, near the Island of Vancouver. In both places there is a humid climate with abundant rainfalls, but with enormous natural scenic and national parks for the use and enjoyment of every traveler.
Like its neighbor Halifax, Vancouver is famous for the outdoor activities that can be performed in its vicinity.All kinds of beach sports, or hiking, bird watching, climbing, fishing, 4-wheel drive excursions, etc. All this and more is possible in and near Vancouver. In fact, this is the area chosen for the Winter Olympic Games of 2010.
Vancouver is a dynamic and multicultural city despite its small size compared to other big cities. The highlights to visit in this city are Stanley Park, where you can stroll among its long rows of trees, the DR. The Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden which is full of harmony and tranquility, the clock of Gastown, Capilano Bridge or China Town. Vancouver is a melting pot of nationalities and cultural richness, where life is healthy and full of fun. Other options for visiting the city are taking a ferry to Victoria, and admiring the rest of the gardens of the area. It is certain a quiet town, but also entertaining, where admiration and relaxation are the agenda of the day.
In Vancouver we will have clear sky, light clothing is recommended as the temperatures is going to be warm throughout the day.

Acoustic Load and Transfer Functions in Listening Rooms
Acoustic Transfer Impedance (ATIM) {or Inertance(ATIN) } and Acoustic Load Impedance (ALIM) {or Inertance (ALIN)} are suggested to be measured and used for analysis of the behavior of sound sources in rooms, below the Schroeder frequency. Measuring methods are discussed and some measuring results are shown. Two simple ways of computing ATIM and ALIM {or ATIN and ALIN} in rectangular enclosures are also mentioned. The aim of the paper is to suggest the impedance concept as a basis for better interpreting the performance of sound sources in rooms at low frequencies.

Feds are concerned but agencies have provided no guidance
If Congress fails to raise the government's debt limit before the Aug. 2 deadline, the federal government would face an unprecedented situation.
For the most part, federal employees don't know exactly how they would be affected by a debt default, and many feds won't know until the last minute.
A survey of federal employees earlier this month by Government Executive magazine said agencies haven't shared any information with employees.
More than 100 federal employees told Government Executive that they had not received guidance or communication from their agencies on how to "manage during a default and the potential effect it could have on their pay and benefits," according to the July 15 report.

Debt ceiling debate renews fears for feds
In addition, recent events at some federal agencies have stoked feds' fears about the consequences of no debt limit agreement.
Almost 4,000 employees at the Federal Aviation Administration were furloughed because Congress couldn't reach an agreement that would keep them on the job, the Washington Post reported. And, the Social Security Administration announced it would close its field offices 30 minutes early beginning Aug. 15 because it can't afford employee overtime.
"Federal employees have reason to worry that the present may foreshadow the future," Joe Davidson wrote in the Post article.
Davidson also noted that 11 agencies have received authority from the Office of Personnel Management to offer buyouts and early retirement this fiscal year, and 15 agencies received the authority last year.
Stephen Losey of Federal Times also wrote about the potential for furloughs and partial shutdowns and summed up the debt limit scenario like this: "Nobody knows exactly what might happen, since the federal government has raised the debt ceiling in the past. But federal employees and retirees are almost certain to be losers."
Reuters reported July 25 that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and a team of aides have been working on contingency plans should Congress not succeed in raising the nation's borrowing limit by the start of next month.
The Reuters article also presented steps President Barack Obama could consider – including selling some of the government's assets, using the 14th Amendment or prioritizing payments – to manage the crisis.
"If Treasury decides that neither an asset sale nor the use of the 14th Amendment are workable, it could look at delaying some payments to recipients of government benefits, government employees, outside contractors or other parties to ensure it has enough cash on hand to keep paying interest on its debts," the article said.

As Harry Reed stated this morning, the current debt ceiling crisis is a serious threat to the nations national security. The President has full authority to issue an executive order to protect the nation against threats to our national secuity. I think it is time for President Obama to step up to the plate and hit a home run for the USA by issuing an executive order invoking the 14th Amendment and declaring the threat to our national secuity and the failure of Congress to reach any reasonable agreement as the basis for his action.
I think "Cowboy Joe" is on to something here! The only caveat I have is that his idea is the only option if we default.
The irony is that Washington and their apparent inability to compromise combined with this focus on not raising the debt ceiling until spending cuts are made will have a negative impact on the US credit rating driving up the debt. Duh. Nice job!
Just let them do buy outs get let all this people making 100 grand a year retire and bring in the a work force at a lower cost. That is what the public sector does, I know it happened to me and thousands of other people. Get rid of all the fat and make it a mean lean machine again, could start with Congress and the Senate. Thin out that bunch, not doing the American people any good but selling us out.

Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) is an international network of environmental organizations in 74 countries.[2]
Friends of the Earth was founded in 1969 as an anti-nuclear group by Robert O Anderson[3] who contributed $200,000 in personal funds to launch FOTE with David Brower, Donald Aitken and Jerry Mander after Brower's split with the Sierra Club. FOTE main mission was to lock up and prevent further development of nuclear energy.[4][5] Their first employee was Amory Lovins, who kicked off FOE in the UK. It became an international network in 1971 with a meeting of representatives from the U.S., Sweden, the UK and France.[6] For further historical details, see articles on the national FOE organizations.
FoEI is assisted by a small secretariat (based in Amsterdam, Netherlands) which provides support for the network and its agreed major campaigns. The executive committee of elected representatives from national groups sets policy and oversees the work of the secretariat. In 2010, Nigerian activist Nnimmo Bassey was elected to serve as chair of Friends of the Earth International.[7]
Campaign issues[edit]
Friends of the Earth considers environmental issues in their social, political and human rights contexts. Their campaigns stretch beyond the traditional arena of the conservation movement and seek to address the economic and development aspects of sustainability. Originally based largely in North America and Europe, its membership is now heavily weighted toward groups in the developing world.
The current campaign priorities of Friends of the Earth internationally are:[8]
- economic justice and resisting neoliberalism
- forests and biodiversity
- food sovereignty
- climate justice and energy (Including releasing the song "Love Song To the Earth")
The campaign priorities are set at the bi-annual general meeting of Friends of the Earth International.
In addition to the priority campaign areas Friends of the Earth International has a number of other campaign areas which are active internationally. They include:[8]
- desertification
- Antarctica
- water
- maritime
- mining and extractive industries
- nuclear power (see nuclear debate) [9]
- consumption and intensive meat production (see Meat Atlas)[10]
All FoE International campaigns incorporate elements of three core themes which are:[8]
- protecting human and environmental rights
- protecting the planet's disappearing biodiversity
- the repayment of ecological debt owed by rich countries to those they have exploited.
Friends of the Earth groups[edit]
The Friends of the Earth in each country are themselves many-tiered networks reaching from individual activists up to the national pressure group which campaigns for environmentally progressive and sustainable policies. The groups and activists at all levels also carry out educational and research activities.
Friends of the Earth groups are required to act independently of party political, religious or other influences; be open, democratic and non-discriminatory in their internal structures; and be willing to cooperate with other organizations who are working for the same goals.[11] These are conditions of remaining a member of FOEI.[12]
The national groups work on the main issues affecting their own country and choose to participate in the international campaigns of FoEI which are relevant to them. In turn, the local campaigners can work on local, national and/or international campaigns.
Structure of the network[edit]
The member organization in a particular country may name itself Friends of the Earth or an equivalent translated phrase in the national language, e.g., Friends of the Earth (US), Friends of the Earth (EWNI) (England Wales and Northern Ireland), Amigos de la Tierra (Spain and Argentina). However, roughly half of the member groups work under their own names, sometimes reflecting an independent origin and subsequent accession to the network, such as Korean Federation for Environmental Movement (KFEM), Environmental Rights Action (FOE Nigeria) and WALHI (FOE Indonesia).
Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) is supported by a secretariat based in Amsterdam, and an executive committee known as ExCom.[13] The ExCom is elected by all member groups at a general meeting held every two years, and it is the ExCom which employs the secretariat.[14] At the same general meeting, overall policies and priority activities are agreed.
In addition to work which is coordinated at the FoEI level, national member groups are free to carry out their own campaigns and to work bi- or multi-laterally as they see fit, as long as this does not go against agreed policy at the international level.
Diet for a Small Planet by Frances Moore Lappé, 1971
The Meat Atlas is an annual report on the methods and impact of industrial animal agriculture. The publication consists of 27 short essays and, with the help of graphs, visualises facts about the production and consumption of meat. The Meat Atlas is jointly published by Friends of the Earth and Heinrich Böll Foundation.[15]
