The Party of PrincipleSmaller Government - Lower Taxes - More Freedom
Dear Libertarian,
I need your your help to fund the petition drives in South Dakota, and now Connecticut, too.
Click here to donate.
The 2/3/16 episode of Libertarians Working For You hosted by Arvin Vohra is now available online, with guests:
Austin Petersen, a candidate for the 2016 Libertarian Party Presidential nomination, was interviewed on January 27 by Joshua Cook of the website TruthInMedia.com.
Click here to view the clip.
The Libertarian Party of Connecticut won a legal victory Wednesday (1/27/16) that allows them to hire out-of-state contractors to collect signatures for candidates petitioning their way onto the ballot.
Before the ruling, only Connecticut residents were permitted to collect signatures. Professional circulators from out-of-state firms, which are often hired by candidates, had to be accompanied by a Connecticut resident.
Jack Seaman, who ran for the US House of Representatives in 2014 as a Libertarian in North Dakota, is running for the same seat this November.
Seaman finished third in his 2014 race, with 5.8% of the vote.
The Minnesota Libertarian Party has hired Kevin Bradley to serve as the new Executive Director.
Mr. Bradley is filling the vacancy left by former Executive Director Andy Burns, who now works for the national party as the State Affiliate Development Specialist.
Much more in-depth and relevant than a government-issued list of holidays, the below list of dates compiled by LNC member Dr. Jim Lark marks important events - good and bad - of interest to Libertarians.
6: Pres. Franklin Roosevelt delivers his "Four Freedoms" speech (1941)
12: 2016 State of the Union address
16: Ratification of the 18th Amendment (1919)

The sequence of a peptide is the most critical factor that influences its biological activity. The sequence and amino acid composition also affect the synthesis outcome and purification as well as peptide solubility. For a peptide project to be viable, it is important that it is easy to synthesize to cut costs and convenient to handle for different applications in terms of stability and solubility. Most peptides of biological interest are derived from N-terminal, C-terminal, or internal sequences of native proteins. Peptides can also be designed de novo. The following tips should be taken into consideration whenever possible in the design of a peptide.
In conclusion, if the above guidelines are followed during peptide design, common problems during peptide synthesis, purification, and handling can be minimized.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

SDCC: "Batman: The Killing Joke" Cast & Crew Debuts Film at Comic-Con International
Comic-Con International has released the programming schedule for Thursday, July 23, as well as some special programming for preview night. You can check out the entire day's worth of activities right here for yourself. Here are some of the highlights …
Per the site, they'll be rolling out the schedules for each day over the next four days … so check back often.
It appears that Hollywood has officially crashed the party. What was once a great collection of comic book fans and creators, meeting up to discuss the medium they love, has been taken over by movie companies, television networks and video game makers. Sad, I wish we could have a comic book convention that was actually about comic books.

The Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association Program Committee invites proposals for sessions on the expansive configuration of approaches and challenges to investigating, writing, and learning from the uncharted terrain and travels of history.
We welcome proposals for panels, roundtable discussions, individual papers, and alternative session formats that make for wide audience participation in the proceedings. The Program Committee is delighted to share that the Waikoloa Beach Marriott, Waikoloa Beach, Hawai'i will serve as the local host for this year's meeting, which will be held on August 4–6, 2016.
The meeting theme of re–imagining how we approach our investigation and writing of history across a diversity of contexts and destinations, as well as the accessibility and urgency of learning from history in our contemporary moment, captures our investment in sharing an inclusive, productive meeting with the widest audience possible. We therefore encourage submissions that interrogate and examine the expanse, research methodologies, travels, and futurity of generative approaches to re–envisioning how we investigate, write, and learn from history.
Presentations of research in all fields of historical inquiry are welcome. The program committee especially seeks panels that honor the multiple anniversaries of our era: the Watts uprising in Los Angeles, the election of Indira Gandhi as prime minister of India, the establishment of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History, the beginning of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the Supreme Court's Miranda decision, the founding of the Black Panther Party for Self–Defense, the independence of a number of former colonies, the Immigration Act of 1965, and more events that point to the invaluable potential of learning from our diverse approaches to commemorate impactful historical moments.
Our program committee invites panels that center on the dynamically hemispheric interactions and relationships that bring together and shed insight on the under-examined trajectories and consequences of histories that stretch across Latin America, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and Africa. As part of the meeting, our program committee also will organize workshops for undergraduate and graduate students striving to make academic and professional strides in our field of inquiry, and highly encourages research presentations by these students.
We welcome complete panel proposals, and will consider individual papers. One panel participant for each proposed panel is expected to serve as a contact for the complete panel.
- Panel proposals should include: a brief description of the panel, a one–page abstract for each paper presentation, and a one page c.v. for each panel participant.
- Roundtable proposals should also provide: a contact person and submit a brief description of the roundtable and a one page c.v. for each participant.
- Proposals that include an alternative format should include: a description of the session and its format and goals, as well as a one page c.v. for each participant.
- All those submitting individual papers should include: a one–page paper abstract and a one page c.v. for the individual.
Please email submissions by December 4, 2015 to both:
Submissions should be included as Word or PDF documents. Submitters will be notified of acceptance by April 1, 2016.

I would like to subclass an existing Gtk widget and get it to work with Glade3. The code is all python, and I'm using PyGObject.
What I want to do is extend Gtk.TextView and be able to add it to my glade UI as if it were a native widget.
I read that it was possible with Glade 2, but I'm not sure how to do this with Glade 3, and I can't seem to find any examples or documentation on this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Say Hello to the New Four Seasons Baltimore
Word on the street is that Charm City will get its very own Four Seasons hotel by the end of 2011. Luxury Travel Advisor has the scoop: "Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley will sign off on a deal to direct $45 million in federal aid toward construction of the $197 million hotel in Baltimore's Harbor East. Economic impact and job creation were two of the reasons cited for the financing." Economic stimulus, indeed. The Baltimore Sun reports that the hotel project is expected to create 1,273 construction jobs and 577 full-time jobs. Overlooking Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the 21-story hotel has been under construction but stalled due to financing. Now developers are planning luxury condos above the hotel. When the project is completed, the building will be the tallest in Balty.

Company: Pixelmator Team
Price: $29.99 (USA)
Availability: Mac App Store (preview)
Model: version 3.3.3 Limestone
Requirements: OS X 10.9.5 or later
In the digital age, all discussions of image editing software lead to Adobe Photoshop (PS). PS dominates its software class, but there are alternatives that challenge PS by offering the most used features at a lower price. Heavyweight software comes at serious prices with gigantic overheads. For people who want to avoid the Adobe business model and the various costs and other overheads that PS demands, Pixelmator is an alternative.

So you ask a question on Twitter and FaceBook and what happens? LOTS of listener feedback! Is Apple doing things a little bit different (as in changed from what they themselves were doing before) or is it a product of the GMen's imagination? Apparently not based on your responses. iTunes, and iMacs, and fuzzy kittens gets discussed. Well not fuzzy kittens. Maybe next week.

App Developer: Liqing Jiang – Everimaging Ltd
Version Reviewed: 2.0.1
License: US$7.99 Requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later
Photo Effect Studio Pro is a digital photography application specializing specifically in altering your photographs. It's not a replacement or a competitor for Adobe's Photoshop or Pixelmator but it does offer some very compelling options to be a very good companion to both these applications.
Many times users may not need the complete feature set available with higher end applications, and with that in mind Photo Effect Studio Pro fills the void.

Orvis, Burr and Burton send supplies to Sandy victimsThe Associated Press | November 13,2012MANCHESTER - A drive to collect needed items for Hurricane Sandy victims organized by the Orvis Company and Burr and Burton Academy, which ran from Thursday through Sunday, filled five tractor trailers as well as parts of a bus sponsored by the Rotary Club and a panel truck.
Three of the trucks went to Sea Bright, N.J., one went to New York City and one is scheduled to go to Brooklyn.
More than 200 Burr and Burton students and 100 Orvis employees packed 2,360 boxes of clothes, blankets, food, personal care items, cleaning supplies and tools for the storm-ravaged communities of New York and New Jersey, according to a press release from Orvis.
Orvis Senior Manager Don Benasich said the entire community went above and beyond for the effort.
"There were so many people and businesses that stepped up to help. … Last year, after Irene, other communities helped Vermont.
This year we get to help folks in New York and New Jersey. It's just the right thing to do," he said.
Bill Muench and Jim Raposa of Burr and Burton's film department said a group of their students have already begun work on a documentary. Muench and Raposa will bring the students to New Jersey to meet with Sea Bright Councilman Reed Murphy and tour the disaster area with members of the National Guard.
The documentary will be screened locally when it's finished.MORE IN This Just In

Whenever you're using a HTTPS connection with a valid certificate to connect to a server you trust, every bit of content sent over this channel is encrypted using SSL/TLS.
If you are on a channel where it is easy to sniff the sent data, i.e. on a switched LAN or on an unsecured WiFi network, an attacker could only see the encrypted data and not the plain text you are sending.
Take a look at the security information your browser shows you:
Here are the relevant bits:
Not generally, but it doesn't mean that someone is not viewing or storing the conversation. Since the connection is encrypted, it will not be captured in transit, but if you are using a company computer, and they are using a monitoring application like Spector 360 from SpectorSoft, either on your end or the other, than that conversation can be recorded and stored.

©2012-2016 pimaniac
It must be quite surreal to sit next to her in class.
Yay, her pinky! XD The shading in her eyes and the glasses is amazing! I really like Momo in glasses... it brings out her cool side. 8D
Agreed. I find the Momochi character amusing to a point, but there's so much more to her it's sad to watch.
Yeah, with Momochi, she went from being a complex character that I loved to a more one-dimensional character... I still love her and I thought that TV special last year where she got kicked and dragged around was hilarious, but I do miss the cute but slightly evil and boyish character I first grew fond of.
Maybe she passed that aspect of her character over to Haruka to exaggerate. XD
Maybe she passed that aspect of her character over to Haruka to exaggerate. XD
Nice job! I especiallly like her pinky! Momoko's pinky! xD
Good job again!
Good job again!

Printing is limited, but it's a very high limit, and if you run out you just ask for more. Network and wifi speed sucks. They really need to boost it. There are many computer labs, so that's never a problem, but sometimes computers stop working and it's a while before they're fixed which is bothersome when you're in a smaller computer lab.
You can get by without a computer but I would not suggest it.
There's never a wait for computer access on campus.
Ive never had to wait to get on a computer.
Lots of computers available. Wifi can be weak in some parts of campus (dorms).
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Most students bring their own computers to campus and use the labs only secondarily. The labs usually have several computers available except during the end of each term. Computer access is an important part of Furman life for communication, research, and entertainment. Many professors use Moodle to post class assignments and discussions, which students are expected to check frequently. E-mail is also an important resource for professors to notify their students of announcements. Crowded labs and a slow network are frustrating at times, but these conditions are not the norm.
The department of computing and information services does its best to serve the needs of students. There is at least one computer lab in every academic building, as well as computers in the student center, North Village apartments, and in the library. In addition, Furman recently began providing wireless Internet access throughout of the campus. Sometimes, the network is slow or spotty, and this can be frustrating for the majority of students who rely heavily on computers throughout their day. The computers in the labs are not always the newest and the latest, but the equipment provided is sufficient for most students.

Skip to comments.Democrats' Silencing is Deafening -- John Gibson's Scathing Editorial
Posted on 09/19/2008 5:48:36 PM PDT by GVnana
Democrats' Silencing Is Deafening
Friday, September 19, 2008
By John Gibson
It looks to me like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac the twin $1 trillion disasters were the creation of congressional Democrats and a Democrat White House.
So where are the Democrats? Why no news conferences explaining themselves?
Barney Frank who who insisted Fannie and Freddie had to buy loans made to the unqualified has had nothing substantial to say, though he did wisecrack yesterday in a Hi-Ho Silver voice: The "loan arranger" is on the way. He was referring to the administration riding in to save him.
Nancy Pelosi denied years of Democrat-sponsored easing of lending standards at Fannie and Freddie and simply said, no, not our fault.
Harry Reid over in the Senate promised Democrat action and immediately adjourned Congress to get out of town right away.
Bob Rubin, the Clinton economic genius who oversaw the launch of Fannie and Freddie drunken sailor's decade, stood with Obama today. Hhe's the one who went from the White House to Citibank where he lost a billion dollars.
John McCain is now running an ad pointing to Obama's link to Franklin Raines, the Clinton official who ran Fannie Mae and took a payday north of $50 million. Raines was reported by The Washington Post to be an Obama adviser on housing issues. But as soon as McCain's ad appeared, Obama rushed to deny Raines was any sort of adviser.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
well, you know.
These dems are rather like cockroaches scurrying for the dark when the light shines on them.
This was a brilliant commentary. I loved watching it earlier this evening.
Frank, Dodd, Clinton, Kerry...
But Schumer was the 'eraser' and not long ago, Spitzer was his attack dog...
an even more socialist solution. These thieves cannot lose. Nobody, but nobody, has the backbone to say, "No more handouts." And our illustrious leaders print more money as we sink into the morass.
The Democrats did it, but the Republicans didn't do much to stop it. People who can't afford to buy houses can't afford to buy houses. That's life. Get used to it. Regrettably, people who can't afford to buy houses don't like to live in public housing, etc. either, because other people who can't afford to buy houses make such places intolerable. We have more people in jail than most countries do, but more belong there and they belong there sooner. It's their choice, after all.
"These dems are rather like cockroaches scurrying for the dark when the light shines on them."
Good analogy.
I could see a new McCain ad:
Obama's plan - do we really want to use Fannie Mae as the blueprint for the nation's economy?
McCain is letting Obambi and the MSM define the issue. McCain has a golden opportunity to explain the Dims' complicity in this debacle and thus attack Obambi, but I have my doubts he will do it to any significant extent.
Realistically, lending standards were rather reasonable until about 2000-2001 then the slide started.
If it were me...I'd clean up Fannie and Freddie, then entirely privatize them in about 3 to 7 years.
another bump
Yup, got to hand it to the Pelosi team, so, so busily cleaning up corruption! All they did was stir the poop and now we're getting the smell! /snark off
The "refi boom" had played out by the end of 2001, so to keep the $$$ flowing they had to lower the lending standards.
McCain warned about this in 2006 and wrote a bill, but the Dems killed it. That should get some play now, otherwise it's back to "blame the Republicans."
I know someone who owns a mortgage company, I know for a fact that they felt pressured to give minorities loans, most mortgage companies were afraid to deny minority loans. I saw some whoppers, they do everything they can to sell those loans immediately.
It wasn't just minorities though, all the old rules of lending went out the window, people were "qualifying" for double and triple for what they would qualify for 20 years ago. As long as houses kept going up people could sell them, and well, you know the rest of the story.
McCain lost the ability to realize that the RATS are not friends. He has to make a choice, friends or deadly enemy. And he has to make decisions fast!!!!! Sometimes I wonder if he is capable to answer that 3PM phone call with any authority.
"The refi boom had played out by the end of 2001, so to keep the $$$ flowing they had to lower the lending standards."
The lower lending standards were probably part of the post 9/11 economic incentives. So were Bushes tax cuts and the Dem's gov't spending. All the gov't meddling to help the economy.
Sadly, people who could afford to buy their houses have suffered equally. I was one of the lucky ones, who, after almost 30 years of ownership was able, barely, to sell my home before the market came apart.
I could be looking for a tall building now but for a stroke of luck.
I have been reading the foreclosure listings in our local paper, mostly out of curiosity, but also out of investment opportunities. One thing that stands out is in 90% of these foreclosure listings, only ONE person is listed as owning the home. "A single woman, a single man, a married man as his own property..." Not to mention, yes, most of these names are typically not a white person.
I don't know about you, but here in Caleeefornia, it used to take TWO working members of a family to purchase a home, let alone qualify for a loan. So someone has been handing out these loans to those who have no one to fall back on if their precarious financial situation changes.
No because Senator Chris Dodd is the #1 so Obama is #2.
The republicans need to hang this around the democrats neck. Why are they not doing that? The republicans are going to have to get tough and start attacking democrats on this economy and all the problems or they are going to lose.
Wouldn't that be just perfect? The campaign is obviously directly quoting a list that they did not generate. That means it will take the Obama camp a little more effort to spin their way out of this one.
the chickens are coming home to roost all right....right in the laps of republicans.
(propagandistically speaking; look for democrats to get a pass.)
Seems like McCain is doing a pretty good job of making the case against the Dims.
McCain's Economic Speech in Green Bay
That's the perfect angle of attack for McCain/Palin. It's straight talk, it's mavericky, it's insubordinate, and most important... it's TRUE!
The Democrats in Washington made this mess, and the Republicans in Washington didnt do much to stop them. But you can do something about it now. Vote for McCain/Palin on November 4, and vote the Washington establishment out of office while you're at it.
I'm John McCain, and I should approve this message.
Very fine.

U.S. Commodities: Cotton, Wheat Supply Concerns Spur Rally
Commodities rose, capping the biggest weekly gain since October 2009, as global shortfalls of cotton and wheat drove agriculture prices higher.
The Thomson Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index of 19 raw materials rose 4.06, or 1.3 percent, to settle at 316.16, boosting the week's rally to 5 percent.
Cotton had the biggest weekly jump in 39 years after India put limits on exports. Heavy rain is eroding the quality of Australian wheat after a drought cut Russian grain output. The dollar tumbled against major currencies, boosting the investment appeal of energy, metals and crops. Crude oil rose to a 25-month high, and gold topped $1,400 an ounce.
"The perfect storm in commodities continues another week," said Fain Shaffer, the president of Infinity Trading Corp., a commodity brokerage in Medford, Oregon. "Between weather problems, financial problems and China saying they want to buy gold, all these markets are up pretty good today."
The UBS Bloomberg Constant Maturity Commodity Index of 26 prices advanced 1 percent to 1,561.89. This week, the gauge climbed 4.9 percent, the most since July 2009.
The greenback fell the most in six weeks against a basket of six currencies after a U.S. government report showed employers added less than one-third as many jobs last month as economists forecast, and the unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent, increasing speculation that the recovery is faltering.
Shifts by funds into commodity markets also spurred the rally, said Bill O'Neill, a partner at Logic Advisors in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.
Commodities at 'Forefront'
"There's a lot of money out there that needs to be invested as we go into year-end," O'Neill said. "Commodities and gold in particular are at the forefront of that as an asset class."
Commodity assets under management increased $19 billion to a record $340 billion in October, Barclays Capital said last week.
The CRB index has climbed 20 percent since Aug. 31. In that period, cotton and gold rose to records, silver jumped to a 30-year high and copper advanced to a 30-month peak.
For the third straight day, cotton prices on ICE Futures U.S. rose the most allowed. The March-delivery contract, the most-active, jumped by the limit of 6 cents, or 4.7 percent, to settle at $1.3234 a pound in New York, the biggest gain since July 2009.
Wheat futures for March delivery jumped 30.5 cents, or 4.1 percent, to $7.79 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade. This week, the price gained 13 percent, the most since August.
'Unemployment, Stagnation'
Gold futures for February delivery jumped $16.90, or 1.2 percent, to close at $1,406.20 on the Comex in New York. This week, the metal gained up 3.1 percent, the most since late May. The metal reached a record $1,424.30 on Nov. 9.
"Ongoing economic uncertainty and the possibility of more quantitative easing needed to counter high unemployment and stagnation in an economic recovery are a solid ground for gold investment," said Bayram Dincer, an analyst at LGT Capital Management in Pfaeffikon, Switzerland.
China should consider adding to gold reserves to pave the way for internationalization of the yuan, Xia Bin, an adviser to the central bank, said in commentary in the China Business News.
Silver futures for March delivery climbed 69.9 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $29.271 an ounce on the Comex. Earlier, the metal reached $29.37, the highest since March 1980. This week, the price jumped 9.3 percent, the most since January.
Crude-oil futures for January delivery rose $1.19 to $89.19 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest closing price since Oct. 7, 2008.
"The rally is due to a much lower dollar," said Hamza Khan, an analyst with Schork Group Inc., a consulting company in Villanova, Pennsylvania. "This is not based on fundamentals."
Commodities settled as follows:
Precious metals: February gold up $16.90 to $1,406.20 an ounce March silver up 69.9 cents to $29.271 an ounce January platinum up $15.40 to $1,728.50 an ounce March palladium up $6.40 to $770.10 an ounce
Livestock: February live cattle down 0.1 cent to $1.06375 a pound January feeder cattle unchanged at $1.18675 a pound February lean hogs up 0.575 cent to 76.575 cents a pound February pork bellies unchanged at $1.045 a pound
Grains: January soybeans up 20.5 cents to $13.0025 a bushel March corn up 18 cents to $5.735 a bushel March wheat up 30.5 cents to $7.79 a bushel March oats up 6 cents to $3.67 a bushel
Food and Fiber: March coffee up 1.1 cents to $2.048 a pound March cocoa up $67 to $2,935 a metric ton March cotton up 6 cents to $1.3234 a pound March sugar up 1.05 cents to 29.5 cents a pound January orange juice up 1.35 cents to $1.568 a pound
Energy: January crude oil up $1.19 to $89.19 a barrel January natural gas up 0.6 cent to $4.349 per million British thermal units January heating oil up 3.28 cents to $2.4874 a gallon January gasoline down 0.32 cent to $2.3521 a gallon
Others: March copper up 2 cents to $3.999 a pound March lumber down $3 to $265 per 1,000 board feet

HeartistView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Based out of Orange County, California, Heartist have been blending fiery hard rock with passionate post-hardcore since their formation in 2011. Made up of singer Bryce Beckley, guitarists Robby DeVito and Tim Koch, bassist Evan Ranallo, and drummer Matt Marquez, Heartist barrel their way toward listeners with a stampede of huge riffs and thunderous drumming before turning on a dime to deliver a soaring, plaintive chorus, giving their sound an emotional edge that's served them well. In 2012, Heartist made their debut with an EP, Nothing You Didn't Deserve, before signing on with Roadrunner Records the following year. The SoCal quintet delivered its maiden full-length, Feeding Fiction, on the label in 2014. ~ Gregory Heaney

Experiment in structure
Experiment in structure
While playing with shapes and their structure I came up with this coffee table, produced from CNC cut ply with a maple veneer. The idea was to form a table from a replicating shape. I moved away from this somewhat for the grooves to take the glass on the top pieces. The table is held together by two rods which are placed though holes where the top and bottom pieces intersect.

Landward and eastward shift of Alaskan polar bear denning associated with recent sea ice changes

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in the northern Alaska region den in coastal areas and on offshore drifting ice. We evaluated changes in the distribution of polar bear maternal dens between 1985 and 2005, using satellite telemetry. We determined the distribution of maternal dens occupied by 89 satellite collared female polar bears between 137°W and 167°W longitude. The proportion of dens on pack ice declined from 62% in 1985–1994 to 37% in 1998–2004 (P = 0.044) and among pack ice dens fewer occurred in the western Beaufort Sea after 1998. We evaluated whether hunting, attraction to bowhead whale remains, or changes in sea ice could explain changes in den distribution. We concluded that denning distribution changed in response to reductions in stable old ice, increases in unconsolidated ice, and lengthening of the melt season. In consort, these changes have likely reduced the availability and quality of pack ice denning habitat. Further declines in sea ice availability are predicted. Therefore, we expect the proportion of polar bears denning in coastal areas will continue to increase, until such time as the autumn ice retreats far enough from shore that it precludes offshore pregnant females from reaching the Alaska coast in advance of denning.

Let's hope Kevin Durant and Robinson Cano learn a lesson from Magna Carta Holy Grail, Jay-Z's latest CD. Let's hope they notice that the CEO of Roc Nation Sports did not seek 16 or eight bars from King James, Black Mamba, Melo or Birdman. You also won't find CP3, The Truth or AK47 on any of Magna Carta's hooks. There are no beats from Captain Jack, Metta World Peace or Mr. Big Shot. Nope. When Jay-Z makes an album, when he does anything involving the music career that made him rich and famous, he only works with the best and brightest from the music industry. Only the most accomplished and skilled need apply. Let's hope Durant and Cano are paying attention, taking notes and analyzing their agent's brilliance. They should not be surprised that Justin Timberlake's voice is the first you hear on Magna Carta. J.T. is the holy grail of pop music. Nor should they be surprised to learn that Beyonce, Rick Ross, Timbaland and Pharrell Williams worked on Magna Carta. They are the holy gra...

Groundwater Irrigation in North India: Institutions and Markets
This paper analyzes the institutions and markets that govern groundwater allocation in the sugarcane belt of Uttar Pradesh, India, using primary, plot-level data from a village which shares the typical features of this region. Electricity powers tube well pumps, and its erratic supply translates into randomness in irrigation volumes. The paper finds that plots are water-rationed, owing to inadequate supply of power. A simple model shows that a combination of such rationing and the village-level mechanism of water sales can lead to great misallocation of water across plots, and result in large crop losses for plots that irrigate using purchased water. We infer the existence of a social contract that mitigates these potential losses in the study area to a remarkable extent; in its absence, average yields are estimated to be 18% lower. The finding that the water allocation is close to efficient (given the power supply) marks a sharp contrast with much of the existing literature. Notwithstanding the social contract, the random and inadequate supply of power, and therefore water, is inefficient. The dysfunctional power supply is part of a larger system of poor incentives to produce reliable and adequate power. In simulations we find that such reliability can improve yields by up to 10 %, and pay for a system of electricity pricing that gives incentives to the power supplier to actually provide adequate power. However, even at reasonably high power prices, irrigation volumes are large enough to continue to seriously deplete the water table. The problem is that traditional rights of water use do not take into account the shadow price of the groundwater. We provide a rough first analysis to suggest that a15% markup on the economic unit cost of providing electricity would make for intertemporally efficient water use.

Prime Minister John Key won't confirm or deny reports that he
called football superstar David Beckham as "thick as bats***"
during a visit to Dunedin's St Hilda's school.
Key has made headlines across the world for the alleged
comments about the former Manchester United and Real Madrid
superstar in front of a group of students on Friday.
St Hilda's principal Melissa Bell was not available for
comment this morning.
But this morning Mr Key refused to comment about whether or
not he insulted Beckham.
When asked by TV One Breakfast host Rawdon Christie if he
made the comment, Key replied: "What I'm saying is somebody
has overheard a personal conversation and that's their
recollection of it.
"I'm not going to engage in the discussion about it - it's
their view. It wasn't an open forum, the person thought they
overheard me say something."
Key told Newstalk ZB all is not what it seemed over his
reported comments, and he didn't owe anyone an apology.
Talking to Mike Hosking, he again would not deny the
"bats***" comments, and would not be drawn into discussing
the issue.
"It's probably not quite the way you see it in the paper. It
was a private conversation. I was talking to a few people and
that's what he thought he heard."
Key allegedly made the comments about the LA Galaxy
midfielder while talking to students at Dunedin's St Hilda's
Collegiate on Friday, according to a Radio New Zealand
The story has been widely reported on in the UK, but also in
Australia, the US, India and Malaysia.
Britain's best-selling tabloid newspaper The Sun led with the
"The PM said Becks, 37, had been very friendly, but then
cruelly claimed that the LA Galaxy star wasn't particularly
bright," Gary O'Shea wrote.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
John Key is routinely called worse things in the media. It's
ironic he's been called on this, actually. Next thing David
Shearer will say there was a video tape but that he hasn't
got a copy himself.
I'd be at a loss to recall precisely what words and
expressions I had used in an unscripted talk. If any
expression I used was particularly striking to the
listeners I think their report would be more reliable.
This applies most of all when an expression is
unexpected, or a metaphor familiar to the speaker's age
and social group but not to those of the listeners.
Some of the expressions my parents' generation used would be
shocking today for instance "touch of the tar-brush" and even
their "polite" term half-caste. Likewise they would
have been appalled by the casual use of swear-words in
public, by women what's more! So John Key may have said
something that is no big deal thus unmemorable within his
peer group. Ask several separate members of his
audience if you want to find out what he said.
