I'm not an investigator, but it seemed to me that if that Bushmaster (rifle) really was sitting in the trunk of a car, and the guy killed himself inside the school, how would the gun end up in the trunk of a car? Maybe it's just bulls--- facts. I didn't investigate it. I think Ronda thought it was interesting and retweeted it, and that was the extent of it. I don't think she was saying the mainstream press was wrong. It was just a different perspective.
Well, that sucks. People can believe what they like, but it sucks when someone whose public persona you like believes something so stupid.

Once they are proofed I would like the ability for them to just hit one link which would start to download a folder containing all their images. I don't need an eCommerce solution for that right now as I'm not requiring payment. So do I need a plugin for that? If not I can use FTP to upload the image folders but need to know how to create a link that will start a download.

Anabaptist Networks of Communities and Organisations: Inaugural EventSubmitted by smw on Tue, 05/10/2010 - 12:02.
On Saturday 2 October 2010, 50+ representatives of the new Anabaptist network of communities and Anabaptist network of organisations gathered for the first of what we anticipate will be annual events. This was an opportunity for members of participating communities (churches, emerging churches, study groups, etc.) to meet each other and think about how they can encourage and resource each other. It was an opportunity also for participating organisations to bring literature and other resources and to explain how they could serve these communities.

Paul M Zehr: '1 & 2 Timothy, Titus (Believers Church Bible Commentary, Herald, 2010)Submitted by smw on Mon, 13/09/2010 - 09:35.
Reviewed by Lloyd Pietersen
The latest commentary in the Believers Church series follows the familiar format. For each section discussed there is a preview, outline, explanatory notes, consideration of the passage in its biblical context and finally, a short overview of the reception of the passage in the life of the church. The series is not designed to provide a scholarly, technical commentary but rather to aid ordinary church members in their Bible study.
John Rempel (Ed.): 'Jörg Maler's Kunstbuch: Writings of the Pilgram Marpeck Circle' (Pandora Press, 2010)Submitted by smw on Mon, 13/09/2010 - 08:40.
Reviewed by Stuart Murray Williams
This English translation of the writings of various personalities in (and occasionally beyond) the circle of the German Anabaptist pastoral theologian, Pilgram Marpeck, is a truly enormous accomplishment. Well over 700 pages long, consisting of an eclectic mix of treatises, letters, poems, interludes and sayings, it is the work of no fewer than eleven translators, together with the detailed editorial work of John Rempel.

Being in the wine business means being in the business of giving pleasure. We want our wines to taste good and to improve the moments in which they are served. In order for us to do this, we frequently depend on the shared experience of good food. The way that wine and food speak to each other is critically important to the appreciation of both. Think of musical instruments either in tune or not. Read More »

Trade Arroyo for Reyes and Escobar. I don't know what we would have done without his 1 2/3 of 7 run ball last night.
Last year was a fluke this guy is a hack.
We shouldn't forget that Arroyo had been doing quite well after he made some changes in his conditioning and diet.
Arroyo for Reyes and Escobar was a horrible trade offer that would have vastly undersold Arroyo. He makes 26.45 mllion over the next 3 years, which is a bargain for the current pitching market. Why trade that for a pitcher with mid-rotation upside and a 24 (25 in November) year old shortshop who is likly going to have to play second or third, and doesn't have the power to be a huge asset at third. That trade is just a bad use of resources for the Reds. Arroyo may have a crappy game once in a while, but he is still an above average pitcher locked up to a below market contract.
[QUOTE=JArroyo may have a crappy game once in a while, but he is still an above average pitcher locked up to a below market contract.[/QUOTE]
Arroyo is 4 and 12 with a 4.72. I don't consider that above average.
He has decent "stuff" once in a while but the bottom line is does he win? The answer is he wins 17% of his starts. We could do better. If this is your number 2 guy then you've really got problems, which of course we do.
I commend your excellent post, JB. Reyes is no great shakes and I am very surprised Escobar was not used as part of a package so that the Braves could continue their decade-and-a-half trend of fleecing every other MLB team for their prospects (Jason Schmidt and Jermaine Dye the only exceptions).
Of course, if Pete Mac is going to keep "Narroning" Arroyo out there for 125 pitches, we may as well trade him for a crate of rotten tomatoes, because they will likely pitch just as well.
Alot of Arroy's losses were due to non-run support.
Some of it was due to exhaustion from over-use.
I use to see his fastball in the mid-90's and about mid-season he was only hitting 89. He is back up in the 90's now again.
if you watched him pitch this year you would know that his statistics aren't very accurate. especially in the Wins and Losses category. check the quality starts department, ill bet he's only behind harang, on the reds club, who is one of the best pitchers in the league.
Also, wins and losses are probably the dumbest measure of a pitchers ability, because they are too team dependent. Last year, Jake Peavy went 11-14, while the far inferior Steve Trachsel went 15-8. Wins and losses just don't tell the the story about how good a pitcher is.
Would we want to pay Kyle Lohse 26.45 million for the next three years? If not, I'm not sure Arroyo is much of a deal at that price. This year they've been nearly identical pitchers. Over their whole careers, Arroyo has about a .5 advantage in ERA, but he's thrown about 60% of his total innings in the NL whereas Lohse has only thrown about 20% of his in the NL, so league factor is part of the difference. This is not to say Arroyo's not a useful pitcher. I'm glad we didn't send him to Atlanta for Reyes and Escobar, though I would have been delighted to see him go for Salty. My question is just about trying to assess how good a pitcher Arroyo is. It's been a tough question for Reds fans because it's all wrapped up with feelings about Krivsky. Certainly Arroyo has been one of his major claims to accomplishment. How much credit he deserves for that is a matter of question now as Arroyo seems to be returning to norm from last year's excellence.
However, I do have quite a bit of man-love for Kelly Johnson. He is slugging .500 since May 1, with an .891 OPS; granted, Cox sits him against lefties quite a bit, but I like his patience and doubles power, and his defense will only get better with experience. I think he is one of the most underrated players in the game this season, and in spite of his injury history I would have demanded him back as well...an excellent call, you're on a roll today!

"The Switzerland of Latvia" Top 5 Page for this destination Sigulda by Dabs
Sigulda Travel Guide: 108 reviews and 323 photos
Sigulda, a lovely town in the Gauja Valley, is the daytrip from Riga that everyone recommended to me and it is well worth a visit should you have a day to spare. Whether you come in by bus or car, make your first stop the national park visitors center to get a map, several times we seemed to be a bit off course and our Lonely Planet map was inadequate.
If you are in reasonable shape, you should be able to walk between the sights, you can work off some of that food you've been eating at the Lido restaurants in Riga.
We started from the Sigulda bus station, stopped at the Sigulda Church, picked up a map at the visitors center, visited the New Sigulda Castle and Knights Stronghold and then headed over to the cable car that takes you over the Gauja Valley, the natural divider between the Knights stronghold and the Archibishop of Riga's castle over at Turaida.
Take the cable car over the Gauja Valley to ruins of the Krimulda castle, continuing walking (downhill) to Gutmanis cave, then onto Turaida.
At Turaida, the museum reserve has several main sights-the castle and it's view over the valley is the highlight, you can also visit the enchanting Folksong garden, a wooden steepled church with the grave of Turaida Rose in the churchyard and an estate with several buildings showing how an estate works.
After your visit here you can take the bus back to Sigulda.
If you have more than just a day, there are other hiking/biking areas to explore. In addition to what we saw, there is ballooning, bungee jumping (from the cable car!), bobsledding in both winter and summer, skiing and lots more outdoorsy opportunities.
- In a nutshell:Perfect day trip from Riga

A very interesting tour, Kristi. I like the history you weave into your tips. Stephen

The number of bulbs on a fixture is important for both style and function. The number of bulbs can alter the amount of light given off, but so can the wattage of your bulbs. Make sure to keep any width limitations in mind while selecting your fixture.

-CFL bulbs are more and more frequently becoming the norm in the American household. With their long life span and bright shades CFL's are always a good option if you want a fixture that performs and saves you money every year.
-Fluorescent tubes are common in bath bars and come in many different styles such as the most common T4 and T5 bulbs.
-Halogen: these bulbs are known for their brightness and long life spans. Although these bulbs get quite hot they are a good solution if you are looking for ample amounts of light.
-Incandescent or Fluorescent: We have combined all the fixtures that can use either a CFL or a standard incandescent bulb into one simple location so you can choose whether you would like a more traditional setup or an energy saving CFL configuration.

Dilton Doiley probably went on to invent the Real Doll.
Is it sadder that I thought of that, or is the real tragedy my amazing recall for Archie characters?
What's sadder is that I think I remember reading that comic Back In The Day. I feel strangely unclean...
Poor Dilton! I like intellectual boys.
Dilton is awesome. He has needs too!
On a side note: can someone explain the "I drink your milkshake" line? I've heard it around and have no clue what its origins are.
Why do I feel sullied after reading this? Is there something inherently icky about it, or is it just that my lower middle class Calvanistic morality is in high gear this morning?
Archie comics first turned me on to the idea of having a Betty and Veronica sandwich.

There could be more parking closer to campus for off campus students and the cost could be a little less.
The ticketing policy is somewhat confusing but is always enforced. There is no need to have your car on campus to get from class to class as it is a small campus.
The parking lots are far from the dorms so in the winter it can be uncomfortable. As for commuting to classes now I usually find a decent parking spot next to the building where my class is being held.
The distance gets very long from the building to the parking lot in the winter. Especially when one has night classes
A permit is required to park on campus. The permits are $100 plus depending on the lot permit. Everything is within walking distance on the campus but a car is nice to have to travel off campus. Parking spaces are sometimes difficult to find depending on the lot. Lot spaces often are more difficult to find during the winter because of snow pileup.

The popular locker room gag of putting Tiger Balm (or some other heat inducing ointment) into someone's athletic supporter. The ensuing extreme discomfort of the victim can be quite hilarious.
Back in high school, my friends and I laughed all day long after giving a fireball to some jerk who always hassled the retarded kids. Seeing him stagger around the locker room, grabbing his dick and screaming "My balls, my fuckin' balls!" was priceless.

New Book Examines the One Unique Name for God that is His Name Forever
New book entitled His Name Forever: The Story Behind the Name of "God" reveals the true name of the god of the Bible and details why this name is rarely used. Readers will be challenged to rethink their understanding and practices.
Organized in a logical format, His Name Forever raises and then answers these questions: Just what is the true name of the god of the Bible? Is it God or the LORD as He is often called today? How did these terms come to be used in place of His name? Why is His name unknown by so many? Does it really matter what we call Him?
The original Hebrew words used in reference to the God of the Bible are critical to understanding His name and who He is. One particular Hebrew word used over 6,800 times in the Old Testament was declared by Him and others as His Name Forever. The translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek, Latin, and English resulted in new terms to call the Mighty One of Israel. These terms along with historical events of the Hebrew Israelite people and the birth of Christianity were pivotal in the move away from use of the Most High's name.
His Name Forever: The Story Behind the Name of "God" is an exposé and, therefore, different from typical books written on the names of God. Iris Foreman develops foundational groundwork of the Old and New Testament for Bible readers and others seeking to enhance their grasp of the Scriptures. The book challenges conventional thinking by introducing rarely explored, but verifiable, facts.
The book is now available in paperback (ISBN: 9781449040291)
About the Author: Iris Foreman, a native of Chester, Pennsylvania, currently resides in Jacksonville, North Carolina with her husband Anthony and son Sydney. After earning a M.B.A. and having a successful career in financial management, she returned to school to pursue a Masters in Divinity degree. Her love of the Scriptures has led her to teach and write on topics that bring clarity to others. She is the executive director for the Foundation for Hospice, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial assistance to terminally ill persons and grief support to individuals and families. She is an avid reader who also enjoys jewelry making, bicycle riding, and playing with her Miniature Schnauzer Colby. She is available for readings and book signings.

Torre railway station is a suburban station on the Riviera Line in Torquay, Devon, United Kingdom. The station is managed and only by Great Western Railway but is not staffed; except for two trains in each direction per day, it is only served by local services, most notably as a commuter station for students for Torquay Girls' Grammar School and Torquay Boys' Grammar School, as many students commute from surrounding areas.
A 7 ft (2,134 mm) broad gauge branch was opened by the South Devon Railway from Newton Abbot on 18 December 1848, this station being the terminus and known as Torquay.[1] This line was extended by the Dartmouth and Torbay Railway on 2 August 1859, which opened the present Torquay railway station at Livermead so the original station was renamed "Torre".[2]
The station had a small extension to the single platform and a train shed built in 1855 but with the opening of the Dartmouth and Torbay Railway, a new platform had to be provided. The original station can still be seen standing alongside the track just north of the platform.
Goods traffic was handled from October 1849. The goods yard was originally at the west end of the station. The original goods shed was destroyed by fire in 1857 and eventually replaced in 1865 by a stone building alongside the railway on the Newton Abbot side of the station.[3] A coal yard was built on the west side of the station.
The South Devon Railway amalgamated with the Great Western Railway on 1 February 1876. The railway had originally been just a single track, but on 26 March 1882 the line to the north was doubled and a second platform opened. On 20 May 1892 the line was converted to 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge.[2]
The first signal box was opened in 1883 at the London end of the northbound platform. This was replaced in 1921 by a new three-storey building on that platform. The original signalling used just 16 levers; the new box contained 42.[4]
The Great Western Railway was nationalised into British Railways on 1 January 1948. The buildings on the second platform were demolished in the 1960s and replaced by a simple brick-built shelter. Goods traffic was withdrawn on 4 December 1967.

On the afternoon of 17 June 1946 a passenger train from London Paddington station to Paignton collided with the rear of a freight train that was stationary north of Torre station. The signalman had made an error in setting the line as clear and so the passenger train had been allowed to leave Kingskerswell thinking the line was clear. Both lines were blocked and over 3,000 passengers had to be carried by bus between Newton Abbot and Torre.
Another collision happened on 26 April 1958 when a passenger train approaching from Newton Abbot passed through two danger signals and collided with a freight train that was shunting in the station.[2]
The station is situated in Newton Road (the road from Torquay to Newton Abbot, just above the traffic lights where Avenue Road joins it.
To the left of the station entrance is a Halfords store which is built on the cramped site of the first goods shed which burnt down in 1857. To the right is the original terminus building of the line from Newton Abbot which is now used by an electrical manufacturer and, beyond that, the 1865 stone goods shed is now a joinery workshop.[4] The second station building is used by a furniture shop which has extended onto the platform by building a concrete block wall in line with the pillars of the canopy.
The entrance passageway through this building opens onto the platform for trains towards Paignton. Access to the opposite platform is by way of a covered footbridge and it is on this platform that the tall but disused signal box stands. Chapel Hill rises behind this platform .
The station buildings are Grade II listed.[5]
Torre is served by Great Western Railway local trains in both directions on an approximately half-hourly basis during the day. Most trains run between Exmouth and Paignton; on Sundays the service is less frequent and most trains only run between Exeter St Davids and Paignton.[6] Once per day, a longer service operates at the station, to allow those attending local schools to travel home. As of December 2009 there are no longer trains to London Waterloo.
As the station lies on the Riviera Line it sees many mainline charter services (including steam hauled) pass through such as the Torbay Express which runs between Bristol Temple Meads and Kingswear on selected summer Sundays.

Torquay engine house[edit]
The South Devon Railway was designed to be worked as an atmospheric railway, the trains propelled by stationary engines that created a vacuum in a pipe laid between the rails. An engine house was built a short distance to the north of the Torquay terminus that would have powered trains up the 1 in 75 (13%) gradient from the station, but it was never brought into use and conventional locomotives worked the trains instead.[2]
The building still stands in Torquay Road near the Lidl supermarket (at 50°29′07″N 3°33′12″W / 50.4854°N 3.5534°W). It was used for many years by the Longpark Pottery but is currently a fruit and vegetable warehouse. It can be glimpsed above the cutting on the right of trains approaching Torre from Newton Abbot.
In the Torbay Council Mayoral Vision, it is proposed that this station is re-branded to become 'Torquay Central Station', and the current Torquay Railway Station be renamed 'Torquay Seafront'.[7]

Life Confessions From a Straight Past (Or, How I Once Made Out With LA's Dopest Attorney)
posted by November 22 at 11:35 AMon
While we're talking about pot and pictures that bring back memories, holy shit, did I just see a picture that brought me way back. And in the LA Times no less!
You see, gentle blog reader, there was a time when I kissed a woman or two, including the one above, who now defends pot-heads in Los Angeles and was recently portrayed on the front-page of the LA Times as "LA's Dopest Attorney."
It's a funny thing to be gay and yet feel a sort of pride at the beautiful woman you once made out with in your freshman dorm room. But armchair psychologists take note: That's exactly what I felt while reading about "LA's Dopest Attorney" and how her clients lust after her, how she is trailed by two young men who answer her phone and clean out her car, how she puts her plunging necklines to good strategic use, and how, with her legal practice taking off, she now aspires to wear "only Chanel" and "make a lot of money."
Am I still attracted to her? Am I jealous of her gaggle of fawning men? Am I thrilled that homely straight boys everywhere might now be jealous of me for having once landed a woman they can only dream of, and worse for the homely straight boys, a woman I myself never really dreamed of? Sorry, I'm saving it for the tell-all.
Confidential to Allison: You go, girl!
Confidential to life: What does it mean that she's defending pot-heads while I'm working for them?
Confidential to straight Slog readers: Eat your hearts out…

Toyota sells 2.58 million vehicles, outselling GM
Toyota kept its position at the top in global vehicle sales for the first quarter of this year, outpacing rivals General Motors and Volkswagen.
Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday that it sold a record 2.583 million vehicles in the January-March period, putting the Japanese automaker ahead of Detroit-based GM at 2.42 million and Volkswagen of Germany at 2.4 million.
Toyota's first quarter sales rose by more than 6 percent from the same period the previous year. GM's sales grew 2 percent, while Volkswagen's added nearly 6 percent.
Toyota finished first in 2013 with a record 9.98 million vehicles in sales, remaining the top-selling automaker for a second year in a row. General Motors Co. finished second and VW third.
Toyota is targeting sales of more than 10 million vehicles this year. No automaker has sold that many in a year. Toyota officials say being No. 1 is not that important, and they want to be No. 1 in customer satisfaction.
But competition is intense among all the world's automakers, and clinching the top-selling automaker crown is not taken lightly.
General Motors had been the No. 1 selling automaker for more than seven decades before losing the title to Toyota in 2008.

By Sgt. Corey Baltos, 45th Sustainment Brigade Public Affairs OfficeJanuary 14, 2009
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS - More than 350 Soldiers from the 45th Sustainment Brigade formally said goodbye to their families and friends during a deployment ceremony Jan. 9 at Hamilton Field here. Later this month the Soldiers will deploy to Afghanistan to begin a 12-month rotation and assume responsibility for the Joint Logistics Command.
"We (will) provide everything needed to sustain the war fighters in Afghanistan," said Col. Clay Hatcher, Commander, 45th Sustainment Brigade. "We will provide their food and their water. We provide all their fuel and all their repair parts."
However the ceremony focused on the theme of family.
"We have been in combat for seven years", said MG Raymond Mason, 8th TSC Commander. "This is longer than World War II, and it would have not been possible without the support of families."
For most of the families assembled the ceremony was a stark reminder that very soon, they would have to say, "goodbye" to their Soldier. For the Soldiers it was a reminder of what they would miss.
"I\'ve missed them walking and I've missed at least one of their first birthdays here or there, but it is hard," said Sgt. 1st Class Duane Bowen.
Bowen, who has been in the Army for 20 years will leave three children behind with his wife, Crystal. Some of the Soldiers were fortunate that they did not have to say goodbye to their spouses for a year. Married specialists Diogo and Abby Ordacowski, will deploy together.
"For our first deployment we were separated", said Spc. Diogo Ordacowski. "However know we are privileged to go together. It will definitely be a lot easier this time." Ordacowski's wife Abbey agreed, "We are well prepared, and mentally ready to go, plus we will have the emotional support of each other."
The two Ordacowaski's will be working together in the brigade's mission support platoon.
As the first group of Soldiers left for Afghanistan in early January there were hugs exchanged and goodbyes said. While the Soldiers of the 45th are off in a distant land, an "emotional" battle will go on as the families are left on the home front. Yet, one can only think of the lyrics of a popular World War I song which state, "Keep the home fires burning, while your hearts are yearning, though your (soldiers) are far away."

I have qTranslate installed (main WP language German, 2ndary language English). Hence the links generated by The Events Calendar are:
myUrl.com/events/bevorstehend (event list, upcoming events)
myUrl.com/events/monat (month, calendar view)
However, when I view the page in English, the links are "translated" to
myUrl.com/events/upcoming and
- which do not exist, see above.
This is due to the following: In
link.php, the functions
tribe_get_gridview_link et.al. have the links hardcoded. IMO, this is a bug: Either, the permalinks should always be the English ("upcoming", "month", ...; no translation of the permalinks), or the functions in
link.php should take translation into consideration the same way it is done when generating the permalinks.
Workaround: Open link.php and edit the calls
$output = $tribe_ecp->getLink('month', false, $term); to
$output = $tribe_ecp->getLink('monat', false, $term);
(just exchange the English word with the appropriate German word that suits your permalink structure). Your workaround will break the next time you update The Events Calendar, since the
link.php file will be overwritten by the update.

When it comes to non-conference football fodder, Texas Tech has long operated its own bakery of cream puffs, cupcakes and assorted mid-major pastries.
Northwestern Louisiana, Texas State, Weber State, North Dakota, Eastern Washngton, Indiana State, Massachusetts, the list goes on.
All Big 12 programs schedule their share of gimmes to protect their record for post-season bowls once conference play begins, but they usually find their way to play at least one non-conference game of equal footing.
This year, TCU plays LSU. Oklahoma State faces Mississippi State. Texas has BYU and Ole Miss. Oklahoma travels to Notre Dame.
But Tech, since 2003 when playing North Carolina State and Ole Miss, has resisited any such temptation. It was the Mike Leach Effect of pumping up the record against teams like Indiana State and Southeastern Louisiana which wouldn't bite back.
It was the opposite of the Spike Dykes approach when he overscheduled, going to places like Ohio State, Tennessee, Penn State and Georgia without a game in return. That overextended the other way.
So, it was a nice change on Wednesday when it was announced Arkansas and Tech would have a home-and-home series in 2014 and 2015. It will be the Red Raiders' first non-conference foe from a power conference in 11 years.
It's an ideal opponent and series for many reasons:
* It's a home-and-home, not a neutral site. The first game is in Lubbock. Tech fans need not drive to the metroplex for this one.
* It's from the Southeastern Conference, without question, the best league in college football. Just ask them.
* It's not Alabama or LSU, programs Tech would have little hope of beating. Arkansas is of the same competitive level -- a solid program but not a top 10 blueblood. The Hogs are of that second tier in the SEC, having been to the Cotton and Sugar Bowls in 2010-11 before imploding last year in the Bobby Petrino fiasco.
* It's an old traditional rival from the Southwest Conference days. Arkansas, along with Texas, were the kings of the SWC for nearly 30 years before the Razorbacks started the breakup of the league when they exited after the 1991 season.
For Tech fans who believe there was indeed football at Jones AT&T Stadium before the 2000 season, Arkansas is a traditionally strong throwback from a bygone era. The Hogs, though, beat Tech like few others have. When Tech was good or not so good, it didn't seem to matter.
Arkansas leads the series, 28-7, though Tech did win the last two meetings in 1990 and 1991.
There's already a few who don't like the idea of giving up an automatic win for a tough foe, that at the end of the season, no one cares who you played, but how many you won, that the Big 12 is tough enough, why make the season tougher, blah, blah, blah.
Look, Tech hasn't lined up Oregon, Ohio State, Florida and Stanford, but one respected regional team to go along with the usual non-conference mediocre fare, which in 2014 includes another team from Arkansas -- Central Arkansas.
It's appealing to fans, and elevates a non-conference schedule that's usually the subject of media jokes. What's not to like? By 2014, both new coaches Kliff Kingsbury and Bret Bielema, the former Wisconsin boss, should have both teams at a higher plane.
The last time the two met in Lubbock in 1991, Tech fans chanted toward the end of a 38-21 win: "SWC! We're pork-free!"
The Porkers are back, at least for two years. It's about time.

Great, interesting poster
By Tim the Enchanter
from Miramichi, NB
I've always loved this painting and I'm glad I bought this. It's a very large poster, but that suits me just fine. My only complaint is that it's really only a part of the original. Thus, many of my favourite ancient philosophers, who stand on the left and right of the original, are totally absent. It's still a great poster though.

Is There Monopsony in the Labor Market? Evidence from a Natural Experiment
Recent theoretical and empirical advances have renewed interest in monopsonistic models of the labor market. However, there is little direct empirical support for these models. We use an exogenous change in wages at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals as a natural experiment to investigate the extent of monopsony in the nurse labor market. We estimate that labor supply to individual hospitals is quite inelastic, with short-run elasticity around 0.1. We also find that non-VA hospitals responded to the VA wage change by changing their own wages. (c) 2010 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved.
