According to reports, The NCAA is investigating Johnny Manziel. Manziel may have been paid for signing autographs on memorabilia in back in January during his visit to Miami for the National Championship.
Two sources told ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that he agreed to sign the merchandise in exchange for a flat fee. The fee is said to be five-figures. The sources say they saw the signing but they did not actually see Manziel receive the money.
Manziel apparently signed the photos and memorabilia for an autograph broker named Drew Tieman. If the NCAA finds that he has violated the rules, he could be ruled ineligible.

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina is the only state in the Southeast without a gay marriage ban in its constitution. The idea has gone nowhere in the last decade because Democratic leaders quashed Republican efforts to debate amendment referenda.
Now with Republicans in charge of the Legislature for the first time in 140 years, conservatives are making their move. Lawmakers return Monday to Raleigh to debate proposed amendments, including one to let voters next year decide if a state law already on the books defining marriage as between one man and one woman should be imprinted into the state constitution as well.
"It's time that we settled this issue," said GOP state Rep. Dale Folwell of Winston-Salem, the No. 2 leader in the House and a key amendment proponent.
Gay rights supporters and gay-friendly companies in the state have been attacking the proposal, saying a 2012 statewide ballot is unnecessary and would humiliate the state in a nation that's become more accepting of same-sex relationships. They say it would discourage business from coming to North Carolina, where unemployment has crept back above 10 percent.
"It makes no sense that North Carolina in a dark economic hour, should signal out a minority of its population for public judgment," said Andrew Spainhour, general counsel of Greensboro-based tableware seller Replacements Ltd., where as many as 100 of the 450 employees are gay, including the company founder.
The marriage debate rises against a backdrop of looming, critical elections. A divisive ballot measure in November 2012 could help bring conservatives to the polls in a state where Barack Obama won in 2008 by only 13,000 votes and which is hosting the Democratic National Convention. Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue also faces a tough re-election fight next year.
"There's no doubt that there would be some advantage in motivating voters for Republican candidates," said Ferrel Guillory, director of the Program on Public Life at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. On the gay marriage issue itself, he added: "We are polarized on this."
Political and social activists nationwide are keeping a close eye on the debate in Raleigh, which could be decided by a few votes. Groups are investing money and time in what could turn into a yearlong fight with deep political overtones. It could become a bellwether on gay marriage as a political issue.
"Once it gets on the ballot, it's going to be a top priority for us," said Tom McClusky, a vice president at the Washington-based Family Research Council. Its legislative arm ran radio ads urging listeners to call a dozen legislators considered on the fence.
Thirty states have language in their constitutions limiting marriage to a man and woman. Minnesota voters will consider an amendment next year. But gay marriage supporters have seen victories both in politics and public acceptance.
New York became the sixth state with the District of Columbia to sanction same-sex marriages. In North Carolina, support for gay rights and acceptance of same-sex partnerships has expanded in recent years beyond college towns and other urban pockets. The number of same-sex domestic partners in North Carolina increased 68 percent over the past decade, according to U.S. Census figures.
"Each person has to decide what's right for themselves but I don't think we need to legislate those sorts of things," said Byron Greiner, 53, an Asheville real estate agent and president of the city's downtown association who has been in a same-sex partnership for 18 years. "I'd hate to see North Carolina go backward."
Greiner and others argue having a constitutional amendment on the ballot would make companies in emerging fields think twice about expanding in North Carolina. They said the amendment language if approved would lead to uncertainty over same-sex partner benefits, child custody rights and domestic violence laws.

Polk, Andreas (2002). Multilateral Agreement On Investments (MAI) - A Critical Assessment From an Industrial Economics Point of View. Working paper series / Socioeconomic Institute No. 201, University of Zurich.
Though the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) has failed, the original draft is likely to serve as a basis for future negotiations. This article gives a critical assessment of the draft from an industrial economics point of view. First, I summarize the contents of the agreement which is relevant for market structure and competition. Then I develop the industrial economics approach, which serves as a basis for criticism. I conclude that a multilateral agreement on investment should (i) recognize competition concerns, (ii) give a suitable de.nition of investment, and (iii) should help to establish competition authorities in less developed countries.

Arizona Girds for Immigration Law
FLORENCE, Ariz.—It's high noon for Arizona's new immigration law, and those on the front lines are anxiously preparing to face their new reality.
A group of deputy sheriffs gathered the other day in this dusty desert town to watch a video lesson on the intricacies of their sensitive new mission: nabbing illegal immigrants while writing tickets for routine infractions such as making a wrong turn.
Fifty miles away on the outskirts of Phoenix, Hispanic parishioners filed into St. Margaret Catholic Church to watch skits in Spanish dramatizing ways to dodge police questions about their immigration status. Among the advice they got: Give someone power of attorney lest they are suddenly separated from their children.
Amid the passions gripping the country about illegal immigration, the cram sessions are bringing what is a largely theoretical issue for many Americans to a visceral level here.
The Arizona law makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. illegally. It requires police who stop people for routine things like running a red light to check their immigration status if there's "reasonable suspicion" they're in the U.S. unlawfully. If they can't produce proof they're here legally, the police can detain them while efforts are made to clarify their status.
The measure has been hailed in state opinion polls but denounced by the Obama administration, whose Justice Department is pressing a lawsuit that says the statute usurps federal authority over immigration. Other suits say it will result in racial profiling. Unless a federal judge now hearing some of the challenges issues a stay, the statute will take effect on Thursday.
Both sides are being urged to stay calm.
"Don't be frightened by it or run away from enforcing the law," Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu advised the deputy sheriffs assembled near his office. "Now that this is policy, we're on the hook."
"We should not panic," counselor Janette Leal told the illegal immigrants gathered at St. Margaret's. "At the same time, we can't pretend nothing is happening. We need to plan for the worst."
Some are. Thousands of illegal-immigrant families have left for other states. Boarded-up houses, shuttered stores and vacated used-car lots are ubiquitous in Hispanic enclaves. St. Margaret's has lost about 20% of its parishioners in recent months. At Park Village Apartments in Mesa, 30 of 120 units have been vacated since the law passed in late April.
Many Hispanic citizens and legal immigrants are worried, too. "This law opens the door for people like me to be harrassed," said Miguel Gomez Acosta, 32, a Lutheran pastor who has lived in the U.S. since he was eight and is a naturalized citizen. "I feel I need to carry my U.S. passport to prove my citizenship."
Anna Torres, a Mesa resident who isn't a legal immigrant, was holding a yard sale on a recent day before packing up her family to make a fresh start in New Mexico. "I've been here 18 years and I've never seen anything like this. We're being hunted," she said.
Supporters of the law deny that. "It's not racist. It's needed," said Kelly Townsend, President of the Greater Phoenix Tea Party. "We can't afford to continue to pay for people in our state that are not citizens. That's money that should be going to balance our budget."
Mark Spencer, president of the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association, which lobbied for the law, said about 20% of inmates in Maricopa County jails are illegal immigrants, and "they are there because of conduct, not because of skin color."
The law prohibits the use of race, color or national origin as a basis for verifying an individual's immigration status. The video shown to deputies and police says time and again not to use skin color or accent as a basis for arrest.
Some officers found that advice insulting. "It's demeaning. We all know it's wrong to use racial profiling. We learned that Day One one in the academy," said Sgt. Hunter Rankin. "Law enforcement in Arizona is being dragged into the middle of a huge political battle."
The officers are being asked to walk a fine line. "Just because someone doesn't speak English doesn't mean you're arresting them," Sheriff Babeu told his deputies. "They could have a student visa or a work permit.'"
At the same time, the law allows officers to consider, in determining whether reasonable suspicion of being in the country illegally exists, a combination of factors such as whether a person struggles with English, appears nervous or is traveling in a crowded car.
The instructional video says officers can also consider whether an individual is in an area where illegal immigrants are known to congregate looking for work or is wearing several layers of clothes when it's hot, a sign he or she may have trekked through a chilly desert night to cross the border.
"The law befuddles cadres of attorneys," said Frank Milstead, police chief of the city of Mesa. "What do you think it does to officers? It sets them up to make mistakes."
Making a mistake is also what illegal immigrants fear. On a small stage at St. Margaret's, parishioners performed skits on how to interact with police. In one version, a driver admitted to the officer who stopped her that she lacked immigration documents. The children in the back seat confirmed to the officer that their mother was from Mexico. She was detained and the kids were left wailing.
In the second version, instead of answering the officer's question about her status, the driver tried to mollify him, saying: "I'm sorry I made a wrong turn. I'll accept a ticket." This time, the children shrugged when the officer asked them where their mother was from. Ultimately, in the skit, the officer wrote a ticket and let the driver go.
The moral is, "Don't lie to the police officer. Plead with him. Negotiate with him," said Blanca Hidalgo, who had been trained to lead the session by the Valley Interfaith Project, a coalition that works with immigrants. She said, "Don't give police any reason to stop you. Fix your broken taillights and windshields."
Before the lesson began, the coach invited participants to share their concerns. "Every single day, every time I get into the car I pray to God that my family will not be separated," said Gavril Vargas, a father of four U.S.-born children who has worked 14 years at the same construction company in greater Phoenix but has no legal status.
In the front row, Ariel Dominguez, a golf-course maintenance worker who took the day off to attend the workshop, summed up the sentiment: "We're desperate."
Why stay? "We're settled here. We have good jobs," said Mr. Dominguez, whose wife works at a seafood restaurant.
Ms. Hidalgo advised participants, if detained, not to sign any forms without an attorney present. In unison, the group practiced saying, "I choose to remain silent and I want to speak to my lawyer."
Later, Ms. Hidalgo reviewed a preparation packet given to everyone. It advised undocumented families to appoint a trusted U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident to tend to their children and personal affairs in case they were detained. The packet contained a form to grant someone power of attorney over a minor. "Sign them," said the coach. "You need to be ready."
The dossier of Cristina and Jose Sanchez is already complete. It holds copies of their three U.S.-born daughters' birth certificates, Social Security numbers and immunization records; the couple's Maricopa County marriage license; their taxpayer identification numbers issued by the Internal Revenue Service and tax returns for several years.
A small envelope contains their attorney's business card. On the couple's bank statement, Mrs. Sanchez has written the PIN to access the account.
"This is the life we built here, little by little," said Mrs. Sanchez, clutching the fat green file. Two friends who are American citizens, Karina and Michael Rodriguez, will keep a copy of the documents, which name the two as parties responsible for the Sanchez children if their parents are arrested.
On the enforcement side, Mesa Police Chief Milstead said one of his biggest concerns was that an undocumented immigrant stopped for a minor infraction, in a desperate attempt to avoid arrest, might "flee, fight" or even "kill a police officer."
He also worries that undocumented residents would refrain from reporting crimes out of fear they could be deported, compromising community safety.
Some officers on the front lines worry they could be sued over alleged profiling—or, alternatively, for allegedly failing to enforce the law.
They were warned in the training video to prepare for the scrutiny of activists. "I urge you not...to be baited by the questions that may be posed to you by individuals whose purpose is to find Arizona police officers discriminatory," said Brian Livingston, executive director of the state police association.
Arizona plans to show the training video, or at least key excerpts, to all 15,000 state peace officers. One part sure to be included is advice from Lyle Mann, executive director of the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board: "Act as if every act and word is being videotaped," he said.
"The entire country is watching to see how Arizona, and particularly Arizona law enforcement, responds," Mr. Mann added. "This state and each of you have now been thrust onto the national stage, and history will be made."

The build-up to the Hoops' 3-0 victory over the Easter Road team, in which a Gary Hooper brace and a strike by Joe Ledley completed the domestic double for Neil Lennon's side was, in part, dominated by the 29-year-old's decision to retire from international football.
The midfielder told Scotland manager Gordon Strachan he wanted to concentrate on his club career and spend more time with his family, which prompted the Scottish Football Association's performance director, Mark Wotte, to question his "pride, desire and ambition"
Commons described the impact of Wotte's remarks on him as "nothing at all" as he expanded on his decision.
The former Nottingham Forest and Derby player said: "I have kids at one, two and three; Jax, William and April.
"I think it is vitally important as a father to be around them when they are at that age. The last squad I was in, my boy was in hospital for a week and I had to pull out of the squad then.
"I am away enough with Celtic probably four nights a week in hotels and travelling and it is a tough job on Lisa that she has to raise three kids on her own.
"When you get a phone call to say that your boy is not well and he is away in hospital, it is a wake-up call. I just wanted to be around my family at that point and football kind of gets away of family.
"I knew I was going to pull out, it was just about telling Gordon at the right time.
"I spoke to Neil, he understood, he thought it was a bit premature but at the end of the day, family comes first and I want to be as good a dad as possible and I want to be around my kids."

text: 30 Aug 2012 Family safari holidays: four of the best Previous slide Next slide 1 of 4 View All Skip Ad Ant's Nest Limpopo Province, South Africa On the Waterberg Plateau in the malaria-free Limpopo Province, this private bush home offers excellent family safaris. Owned and run by Ant and Tessa Baber, whose forebears settled here in 1886, this converted ranch house is a home-from-home, with six en-suite bedrooms, which are available by the room or for exclusive use, so it works well for families with children of all ages. There's an extensive garden to roam in, a heated swimming-pool, a sandpit, a trampoline, badminton and a thatched area with big sofas. Each experience is tailor-made, planned between the guide and guests. Riding safaris are popular, and there are horses to suit everyone - even under-fours can be led on ponies around the grounds of the lodge. There are also, of course, game drives and guided walks. For the 'big five' (elephant, rhinoceros, Cape buffalo, lion and leopard), game drives into nearby reserves can be arranged. Bushbaby Travel offers five nights' exclusive use of Ant's Nest from £8,200 for a family of four (including two children under 11) sharing a deluxe room, including all flights and transfers (0845-124 4455; bushbaby.travel ). Lewa House Eastern Province, Kenya At the heart of an innovative conservancy, hilltop Lewa House has been in the same family for more than a century. Today it is run by the original owner's great-granddaughter and her husband, Sophie and Calum Macfarlane, who have young children. Home to the 'big five', the reserve also has the largest population of the endangered Grévy's zebra as well as hirola antelope and black rhino. Sustainability is key, with solar power and local produce. Of seven cottages, three have two bedrooms, so are ideal for families. The main house serves as a communal space, with an open fire, a vast veranda and a long dining-table where the hosts serve imaginative meals. The views are gorgeous, particularly from the swimming-pool, which overlooks a popular watering hole. There are game drives, bush walks and riding expeditions, but also freshwater crabs to catch, caves to explore, waterfalls to jump in, an aerial walkway to clamber on and dogs to walk. The Ultimate Travel Company offers an all-inclusive five-day safari from £10,890 for a family of four (two under 11) in a two-bedroom cottage at Lewa House, including flights and transfers (020-7386 4646; theultimatetravelcompany.co.uk ). Robin's House South Luangwa, Zambia The private home of Robin and Jo Pope (of Robin Pope Safaris), two-bedroomed Robin's House is next to the intimate Nkwala Camp on the banks of the Luangwa river, just outside the South Luangwa National Park, and is available for exclusive use with a private chef. There is plenty on offer for children from seven up, with game drives, nature walks, birding for beginners, visits to a local school and helping out around camp, and all children are given safari packs with puzzles and quizzes. Those who want to stay at home can be entertained at the house, which is well stocked with children's books, board games and paints, as well as a sandpit and swing ball. The camp's nearby swimming-pool is the perfect place to cool off after a drive. This unique location offers three distinct habitats - river, lagoon, and vast open plains, with the chance to view leopards, lions, elephants, giraffes and more. Scott Dunn offers five nights at Robin's House on a fully inclusive basis from £10,735 for a family of four during the October 2012 half-term, based on two adults and two children under 12 and includes all flights and transfers (020-8862 5070; scottdunn.com ). Samara Private Game Reserve Great Karoo, South Africa This spectacular private reserve, forged from 11 rundown farmsteads fringed by mountains in the Eastern Cape's remote, malaria-free Great Karoo, offers a luxurious, intimate safari experience for families. With conservation at its heart, the reserve is home to the highly endangered cheetah, as well as leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, white rhinos and more. The managers, Marnus and Anneke Ochse, welcome families, who stay in either the elegant Karoo Lodge or the exclusive-use Manor House. Samara offers children bush walks and sleep-outs under the stars, as well as lessons in navigation and setting up camp, plus more conventional activities such as football, tennis, table tennis and croquet. This allows parents to go off on longer game drives or to have time on their own. There are also dedicated babysitters, and menus are tailor-made to suit each family. Cazenove & Loyd offers five nights at Samara Private Game Reserve from £7,942 for a family of four (including two children under 12) in two Sibella Suites, including flights and transfers (020-7384 2332; cazloyd.com ).

The integration of customer preferences is nowadays a challenge in new product development. In this paper, we describe a method which integrates the customer preferences for the design of geometrical forms. We illustrate the approach by the design of a car's headlight. From a product space, the method is based on the definition of a perceptual space, built by multidimensional scaling, and which lead to the definition of interpretable perceptual dimensions. Objective measures of the form, computed from the design variables of the design model, are selected to interpret the perceptual dimensions. These measures are representative of the overall form and of the curvature variations. At this level, the Fourier coefficients of a closed curve are used to represent the information on the curvature variations. Next, from the preferences of a customer, the target values of the selected measures corresponding to a preference optimum are calculated. We show in the paper the interest of this approach for the design of forms. The method is illustrated by the design of a car's headlight, modeled by Bezier curves and integrated in a front-end.

Denouement and Discussion
Short-Rib Polydactyly Dwarfism: Saldino-Noonan Type
The consistent anomalies present in the Saldino-Noonan type of short rib polydactyly dwarfism are hydropic appearance at birth, micromelia, polydactyly, and a narrow thorax. Growth retardation, small weight for gestational age, and decrease in heel-crown length are often present. The characteristic skeletal deformities include short, horizontally-oriented ribs, short tubular bones with metaphyseal dysplasia, small iliac bones, horizontal acetabulae, and premature ossification of epiphyses.Pulmonary hypoplasia is the most common visceral anomaly and next in frequency are anomalies associated with the gastrointestinal tract, which include persistent cloaca, imperforate anus, atresia and/or malrotation of the bowel, and short bowel. Cardiovascular anomalies include transposition, coarctation of the aorta, ventricular septal defects, double-outlet left ventricle, and hypoplastic aortic arch.

Re: The all things technical thread.
Marquez is a smart old man. Losts of fighters have their little 'tricks'. Barrera used to borderline go low and then hit you with combinations whilst you were distracted or looked at the ref. Ali would grab opponents neck so they couldn't infight, Hopkins and Frazier beat on opponents hips, Trinidad shouldered you and then threw a wicked right hand, some fighters hit on the blindside of the ref, Andre Ward blindfolds his opponents with his lead hand.
There is a difference between being outright dirty and being tricky though. Eusebio Pedroza for example was outright dirty, Abner Mares is a dirty ****** today. I don't think Marquez did that purposely, it's just one of those things that happens with the styles of both guys and the way they come together. Marquez is just a smarter fighter, Manny's physical gifts give him problems but Marquez' positioning is so much better.
They should have studied the film and done the same thing back to Marquez. If i thought someone was being dirty against my fighter, i would advise them to do the same thing back, don't overlook any indiscretion. Anything a fighter does to you, you can do to them.

Bringing Your Adopted Child Home
When you're preparing to adopt, the anticipation can be overwhelming. It's a long journey: getting fingerprinted; going through a home study; choosing domestic, international, or foster adoption; putting your family profile or dossier together; then finally wondering what it will feel like to bring your child home
Here are some key strategies to help you and your family move through the adoption process until everyone can finally settle in together.
Wait Out the Waiting Game
Adopting can take a while -- sometimes, longer than you expected. Keep yourself busy by doing all the things you won't have time to do once your new baby or child comes home.
Maxine Walton, a social worker whose Children's Home Society and Family Services in Minnesota handles domestic and international adoptions, says, "Empty the job jar, go on that vacation." Get your home as ready as you can. For example, stock the pantry and medicine cabinet. That will certainly come in handy once you bring your new child home.
Find Out What Your Child's Life Was Like
If your adopted child is not a newborn, he or she has had a life before you. Talk to foster parents, orphanage directors, or even your child's birth parents to learn what that life has been like.
Debra Harder, adoption information coordinator with Children's Home Society and Family Services, says, "You want to learn what your child's routines are, how he might have been soothed, how he likes to be held, his favorite toys and games."
She adds, "If you have the opportunity to meet your baby's or child's caregivers, this is a great opportunity to learn firsthand what he's used to so you can help him feel more comfortable in your home with familiar routines."
If you're adopting internationally or bringing home a baby from a state other than your own, it's likely that you'll have to travel and spend at least a week in your child's home state or country. That can be frustrating because you want to get home and start your new life together. But look at it as a great opportunity to build attachment between you and your new child.
"This is precious time," Harder says. "You can get to know each other and bond one on one. You have time when you don't have to share your child with anyone else -- it's just you together as a new family."

Obama Budget Predicts Strongest U.S. Growth Since 2005: Economy
The U.S. economy will grow this year at its fastest pace since 2005, helping reduce the annual average unemployment rate for a fourth straight year even as market borrowing costs rise, the Obama administration predicted.
Gross domestic product will expand 3.1 percent in 2014 after rising 1.9 percent last year, the administration said in forecasts accompanying its 2015 budget plan released today in Washington. The jobless rate will average 6.9 percent this year, compared with 7.4 percent last year, and average 6.4 percent in 2015, according to estimates based on information as of mid-November.
The $3.9 trillion spending request anticipates an accelerating economy that's boosting employment while moving up inflation to levels unlikely to concern Federal Reserve policy makers. The proposal says fixing the immigration system, investing in infrastructure, simplifying the tax code and improving job training would reduce the ranks of the unemployed even more.
"Our own forecast is for a less rosy outlook," said Yelena Shulyatyeva, New York-based U.S. economist at BNP Paribas, who forecasts U.S. economy to grow 2.5 percent this year. Growth estimates made now instead of in November probably would be lower because "some activity will be lost due to the bad weather," she said.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 1.5 percent to 1,872.71 at 1:39 p.m. in New York. The Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Index, a gauge of the greenback's value against 10 major currencies weighted by liquidity and trade flows, was 0.1 percent higher.
Treasury Yields
The estimates in the budget plan showed the annual average yield on 10-year Treasuries will advance to 3 percent in 2014, from 2.3 percent last year, and increase to 3.5 percent in 2015.
The 10-year yield rose eight basis points, or 0.08 percentage point, to 2.68 percent, after dropping to 2.59 percent yesterday, the lowest since Feb. 4, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices.
In Europe, a report showed U.K. construction growth slowed more than economists forecast in February as wet weather and flooding hampered some building activity. In Sydney, the Reserve Bank of Australia reiterated that it's likely to maintain record-low interest rates as Governor Glenn Stevens and his board kept the overnight cash-rate target at 2.5 percent.
Private Forecasts
The White House's 2014 growth projection is higher than the 2.9 percent median forecast of economists surveyed last month by Bloomberg, while the jobless rate outlook for this year is less optimistic than the survey's median of 6.4 percent. In November when the White House's projections were formulated, the median estimate among private economists was for 2014 growth of 2.6 percent.
Jason Furman, the White House's chief economist, said today that since the projections were made more than three months ago, the economy has improved "more than most forecasters had expected." If he were to revise the numbers now, the GDP outlook would be increased and the unemployment forecast would be lowered, he said without offering new numbers.
"With the economy picking up speed, companies say they intend to hire more people this year," President Barack Obama said in a statement contained in the budget proposal. The housing market is rebounding and "over half of big manufacturers say they are thinking of insourcing jobs from abroad," he said.
Tame Inflation
Inflation as measured by the consumer price index will be 1.6 percent this year and 2 percent next year, according to the budget estimates. The Fed targets inflation of 2 percent as measured by the personal consumption expenditures index, which was lower in January than the CPI gauge.
"The recovery has been durable even in the face of headwinds that have emerged in recent years," according to budget statement, citing the rebound in housing, stronger manufacturing and more oil production. "There are encouraging signs emerging across industries."
Harsh winter weather probably contributed to economic weakness early this year, though the extent of the impact is difficult to estimate, Fed Chair Janet Yellen told the Senate Banking Committee on Feb. 27. Lower temperatures and snow storms slowed housing, manufacturing and hiring, and disrupted air travel and construction plans.
Payrolls rose less than projected both in January and December, showing the weakest back-to-back gains in three years.
"Our economy is moving forward and businesses are creating jobs, but our top priority must be accelerating that growth while expanding opportunity for all Americans," according to the budget plan.
Job Growth
A Labor Department report March 7 may show the nation's unemployment rate held at a more than five-year low of 6.6 percent and employers probably added 150,000 jobs in February, according to the median of 85 estimates of economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
In January, Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said the economy this year isn't restrained by the "real headwinds of budget cuts and other fiscal policies" that held it back in 2013.
GDP grew at a 2.4 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter last year, compared with the government's first estimate of 3.2 percent and a 4.1 percent growth pace the previous quarter, revised figures from the Commerce Department showed Feb. 28.
Monetary policy has been supportive of growth, with the Fed keeping its benchmark short-term interest rate near zero since December 2008 while carrying out three rounds of bond buying aimed at keeping long-term borrowing costs low.
The Federal Open Market Committee's next scheduled policy meeting is March 18-19.
Fed officials, who released their estimates in December, saw economic growth of 2.8 percent to 3.2 percent this year and 3 percent to 3.4 percent in 2015. The central bankers' forecasts are based on comparisons of the fourth quarter to the same period in the prior year.
The projected gain in GDP this year would be the biggest since 2005's 3.4 percent. Obama's budget plan today forecast 3.4 percent growth next year on an average annual basis.

I am trying to define wildcard receipts in SendMail, from what I read in this document http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#virtusertable I understand that this would be a correct syntax inside /etc/mail/virtusertable
email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com
email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com
I would expect first rule to match a receipt like email@example.com but it doesn't. The second rule works ok so I assume that localdomains and similar things are all configured correctly, but how to match a wildcard like in first rule? Sending to firstname.lastname@example.com returns the "not such user" error.
Thank you.

Replay is a novel by Ken Grimwood first published by Arbor House in 1986. It won the 1988 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel.
The novel tells of a 43-year-old man who dies and awakens back in 1963 in his 18-year-old body. He then begins to relive his life with intact memories of the previous 25 years. This happens repeatedly with the man doing different actions in each cycle. The premise was explored earlier by Richard A. Lupoff in his 1973 short story "12:01". The novel was a bestseller in Japan, and its time-loop concept has been referenced as a precursor of Harold Ramis' comedy-drama Groundhog Day (1993).[1]
Characters and story[edit]
Replay is the account of 43-year-old radio journalist Jeff Winston, who dies of a heart attack in 1988 and awakens back in 1963 in his 18-year-old body as a student at Atlanta's Emory University. He then begins to relive his life with intact memories of the next 25 years, until, despite his best efforts at cardiac health, he dies of a heart attack, again, in 1988. He immediately returns to 1963, but several hours later than the last "replay". This happens repeatedly with different events in each cycle, each time beginning from increasingly later dates (first days, then weeks, then years, then ultimately decades). Jeff soon realizes that he cannot prevent his death in 1988, but he can change the events that occur before it, both for him, and for others.
During one subsequent replay, Jeff takes notice of a highly acclaimed film, Starsea, that has become a huge success at the box office in 1974. The film is written and produced by an unknown filmmaker, Pamela Phillips, who has recruited Steven Spielberg to direct and George Lucas, as a special effects supervisor, before the two shot to stardom with their own projects. Because the film did not exist in previous replays, Jeff suspects that Pamela is also experiencing the same phenomenon. He locates her and asks her questions about future films which only a fellow replayer would know, confirming his suspicions.
Pamela and Jeff eventually fall in love and become convinced that they are soulmates. Complications arise when they notice that their replays are getting shorter and shorter, with Pamela not beginning her next replay until well after Jeff. Eventually, the two decide to try to find other replayers by placing cryptic messages in newspapers. The messages, which seem very vague to anyone who is not a replayer, generate a fair amount of dead-end responses until the pair receives a letter from a man who is clearly knowledgeable about future events. Jeff and Pamela decide to visit the stranger, only to discover that he is confined to a psychiatric hospital. Surprisingly, the staff does not pay attention to his discussion on the future, but it soon becomes clear why the man is institutionalized when he calmly states that he thinks aliens are forcing him to murder people for their own entertainment.
In a later replay, the two decide to take their experiences public, giving press conferences announcing future events in explicit detail. The government eventually takes notice and forces Pamela and Jeff to provide continued updates on foreign activities. Although the government denies responsibility, major political events begin to transpire differently, and Jeff attempts to break off the relationship. The government refuses, and the pair are imprisoned and forced to continue providing information.
As future replays become shorter and shorter, the two are left to wonder how things will eventually unfold—whether or not the replays will ultimately end, and the pair will pass into the afterlife—or if the current replay is, in fact, the last. Eventually, the replays become so short, Jeff and Pamela relive their original deaths repeatedly in succession—until Jeff finally has a heart attack which he manages to survive. While he calls Pamela soon afterward, she lets him know that she has also survived, and that their replaying wasn't a dream. While it seems ambiguous whether or not they will meet again, Jeff eagerly awaits entering an unpredictable future with endless possibilities.
Orson Scott Card, reviewing Replay for The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (May, 1987), wrote:
- Jeff makes a quick fortune gambling on sure things; this time the 1970s and 1980s are filled with the glamour and disappointment of wealth. Until he dies again. And again wakes up in 1963. And again, and again, replays of his past life, each time wiser than the time before, each time surprised by new joy, new pain. Children he raised and then lost, lovers who don't want him the second time around. Desperately lonely with all his knowledge that he cannot share, he searches for others caught in the same endless loop of lifetimes. And finds some. Grimwood's style is clear, penetrating. He leads us through Jeff Winston's lives with great skill, never lingering too long with any one experience, never moving so rapidly that we cannot taste the flavor of each passage through the decades. Replay is Pilgrim's Progress for our time, a stern yet affectionate portrait of the lives we lead. When I finished it, I felt I had been moving with the hidden rhythm of life, that I had seen more clearly, that I had loved more deeply than is ever possible in one short passage of years.
Publishers Weekly reviewed:
- Grimwood has transcended genre with this carefully observed, literate and original story. Jeff's knowledge soon becomes as much a curse as a blessing. After recovering from the shock (is the future a dream, or is it real life?), he plays out missed choices. In one life, for example, he falls in love with Pamela, a housewife who died nine minutes after Jeff; they try to warn the world of the disasters it faces, coming in conflict with the government and history. A third replayer turns out to be a serial killer, murdering the same people over and over. Jeff and Pamela are still searching for some missing parts of their lives when they notice they are returning closer and closer to the time of their deaths, and realize the replays and their times together may be coming to an end.
Awards and nominations[edit]
Replay won the 1988 World Fantasy Award[2] and was on the shortlist for the 1988 Arthur C. Clarke Award.
The novel has been included in several lists of recommended reading: Modern Fantasy: The Hundred Best Novels (1988), Locus Reader's Poll: Best Science Fiction Novel (1988), Aurel Guillemette's The Best in Science Fiction (1993) and David Pringle's Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction (1995).
Sequel and possible film adaptations[edit]
Ken Grimwood was working on a sequel to Replay when he died from a heart attack in 2003 at the age of 59.[3] In 2010 Warner Bros. reported that it was planning on a film version starring Ben Affleck. The screenplay for this adaptation has been written by Jason Smilovic.[4] In 2011 Robert Zemeckis was in talks to direct,[5] but as of 2016 no movement seems to have been made on the project.

HERS-ST Highway Economic Requirements System - State Version: User's Guide
Chapter 4 Installing the Software
This chapter specifies the hardware required for stand-alone operation of HERS-ST and outlines the procedures for installing HERS-ST.
Windows NT, 2000, or XP Professional users must have administrative privileges to install HERS-ST.
System Requirements
- Personal Computer with Pentium III 400 MHz (or equivalent) minimum
- Any of the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems including 98/ME/NT/4.0/2000 or XP with the latest Service Pack (Windows 2000 SP2 or higher recommended)
- 128 MB of RAM (256 MB or higher recommended)
- 100 MB of Free Disk Space (if minimum data installed)
- Adobe Reader 6.0 or higher (to view documentation)
- CD-ROM drive
- SVGA (800x600) or higher-resolution monitor
This is the recommended configuration when using a highway data set of approximately 20,000 sections. Users should consider adding an additional 128 MB of RAM for each 20,000-section increase in highway data size.
Installing HERS-ST
- Insert the HERS-ST v4.x CD into the CD drive on the computer.
- The installation should automatically start and the HERS-ST Installation Main Window should be displayed. If this does not occur, browse to the drive where the HERS-ST CD is located and double-click on the file 'setup.exe'.
- From the Main Window (Figure 4-1), select 'Install HERS-ST Software'.
- A series of windows will prompt you for different information during the installation process. It is recommended that the default directory locations be used.
- If the necessary Microsoft support files do not exist on the target PC, they will be installed, and it will be necessary to reboot the computer. The installation routine will then resume installing the remaining components of HERS-ST.
- Upon completion of the installation, a new Start Menu group, HERS-ST, will be created.
- The application may be started by selecting 'Start / Programs / HERSST / HERS-ST.
HERS-ST is intended for and installed for single-user utilization. It is possible to configure the environment to utilize files on a network-based file server.
If you are installing HERS-ST under an account that differs from the user's, we recommend using the default installation locations and options.
A total of three reboot operations may be necessary if this is the first time Microsoft Active Data Object or Microsoft Jet have been installed on this computer.

Fredericksburg Travel Guide: 230 reviews and 725 photos
Our visit took us 17 miles outside of Fredericksburg to see this unusual granite dome, know as Enchanted Rock. It is over 1800 ft. high and is comprised of rock said to be over 6 million years old. Evidence shows it to have been inhabited over 11,000 years ago by its earliest residents.
A plaque for a WWII veteran is dedicated at the Nimitz Museum of the Pacific War as a bagpiper plays "Amazing Grace." The soldier honored was my wife's father.

WOW, thank you!! I'm getting married in Salt Lake City in August, and am in the middle of planning, this came at JUST the right time! Now I won't be getting a new dress for sure.

Just a few more ideas:
1. Rent a dress.
2. Get your wedding cake from Magelby's, they not only look good, but they taste even better. If you get the tower cake with the cream cheese frosting all you have to do is add some fresh cut flowers and a ribbon or string of pearl beads and you have an elegant looking wedding cake. If you get three you can place them on various heights for a stunning effect. Three tower cakes were still much less than one traditional wedding cake.
3. American Fork Amphitheater is cheap in cost and beautiful!
4. Guests are satisfied with a simple and tasty treat. No need for a whole meal.
5. Black dresses of varying styles (to fit various body sizes and types) look classy with a sash made in the wedding colors.

Here are some tips to for flawlessly applying it to your face and giving it your visage the beautiful shimmer it deserves.

SheKnows.com states that your brush can be the difference between streaks and a seamless look that turns heads. Make sure to use a large, fluffy brush to apply bronzer powder to the appropriate areas.
2. Know your bronzer

For now, Alabama Governor Bob Riley's fight for charter schools is dead.
Wednesday, the State Senate Finance and Taxation-Education Committee killed their version of the bill a week after the House did.
The state of Alabama currently does not have charter schools.
A bill could have changed that, but it died in the Senate Committee; some superintendents are relieved.
The legislation basically said new charter schools would be run by the state, not local school systems.
That could cause problems since charter schools are defined as public schools of choice that operate with freedom from many of the regulations that apply to traditional public schools.
"In Alabama, we have a difficult time right now funding Public Schools. I think it would be virtually impossible trying to fund those with the limited dollars we have available now," says Dr. Sam Nichols, superintendent of Dothan City Schools.
Dr. Sam Nichols will be making a presentation about school finances to the Board of Education Monday evening at Honeysuckle Middle School.
The public is welcome to attend.
