Daron Brown
TomVH: Camp List
Michigan's camp starts today and run's to the 23rd. I'm obviously not there, but here's who has told me they will be there at least one of the day. There is going to be a ton of kids at this camp, since it's back to being big and open to everyone.
- RB Juwan Lewis (5'11", 208 lbs) 3 star from Muskegon
- QB Austin Appleby (6'5", 228 lbs) 3 star from Ohio. Hoping to earn an offer.
- OL Steven Elmer (6'6", 297 lbs) 2013 prospect from Midland, MI. Just received his Michigan offer today, they're on campus. Already has Michigan State, Mississippi State, and Wisconsin.
- QB Brian Blackburn (6'5", 197 lbs) from Detroit might be there.
- DT Danny O'Brien (6'2", 293 lbs) 4 star from Flint. This camp could help him and Michigan get back on the same page. He'll be there Monday or Tuesday.
- OL Daron Brown (6'5", 312 lbs) from Detroit. Just received an offer from Akron to go with Buffalo.
- RB Alden Hill (6'2", 220 lbs) 3 star from Ohio. Hoping for a Michigan offer.
- OL David Dawson (6'5", 305 lbs) 2013 kid from Cass Tech. I'd imagine there will be more Cass kids like Kenton Gibbs, who will be there 20th and 21st, coming with him.
- DT Vontrell Williams (6'2", 265 lbs) 3 star from Illinois. Trying to earn an offer. The 21st is when he'll be there.
- Maybe: Michigan commit Anthony Standifer and his 2013 teammate WR Laquon Treadwell.
- QB Robert Gregory (6'3", 181 lbs) 3 star, teammates with Jordan Diamond is supposed to be there.
- DB Cameron Burrows (6'1", 175 lbs) 2013 prospect from Trotwood, Ohio. He isn't sure if he's coming or not yet.
- DE Matt Miller (6'4", 240 lbs) 2013 prospect. He's '11 signee Jack Miller's younger brother. I confirmed with Jack that Matt will be there. He said the coaches are interested in Matt and they're excited to see him at camp.
- RB/FB Wyatt Shallman (6'3", 245 lbs) 2013 instate prospect will probably be up on Monday to hang out. He won't be participating.
This is just a small list of notable people I've confirmed. I'll post them as I hear of more.
TVH Weekly: Visit Reacts, More Visits, Visits
This past weekend had a few visitors to take in the first spring practice. Moving forward, this coming weekend will be even bigger as Michigan is expecting double digit visitors. Here's a look at how those visits went and who's planning on making it in next weekend. As always you can follow me on Twitter for more updates @TomVH, and email me with any tips or questions at [email protected].
Pharaoh Brown
6'6", 220 lbs.
Defensive End
Lyndhurst, Ohio
This was Brown's first time up to Ann Arbor so this was a big visit for him to get to know the coaches and environment.
We got up there and went straight to the academic center, we watched practice, and then we got to see the facilities and the Big House. I watched some film and talked about how I would fit in to the defense.
Outside of the facilities, meeting the coaches is usually the biggest part of a first visit and that was the case for Pharaoh.
Coach Mattison was talking about the Ravens and the scheme. He said I would be a rush defensive end, or I could be rushing and dropping back some too. Coach Hoke talked more about academics and the overview of the whole thing. He and my uncle were talking about college life and how to help people transition. I think they're pretty good guys, I feel comfortable with all of them now seeing them in person.
It's still early in the process but this visit did a lot to help Michigan with their recruitment of Brown.
I think I could fit in perfectly with what they were telling me, it was good. I'll probably make my decision in the middle of my season and I might take a few official visits. This visit moved them up on my list though; my interest level went up tremendously. They are at the top of my list for now.
Pharaoh might make it back up to Michigan for the spring game or a game during the season. His top list may end up changing, but this helped move Michigan forward with Brown.
Kyle Dodson
6'6", 315 lbs.
Offensive Tackle
Cleveland, Ohio
[ed: epic shirt.]
This was also the first time seeing the Michigan facilities up close for Kyle Dodson. Michigan has been making up ground with Kyle for some time, and he was excited to make this trip.
I saw the football facilities and the Big House. We talked with basically all the coaches, and we really got a feel for the place and the surroundings. Coach Funk talked to me about how I would fit in and that they only really have one left tackle right now. They were saying there's a good chance I could play early depending on my work ethic.
Dodson also got a chance to talk to Coach Hoke, but the Big House was what stuck out most to the big lineman.
Coach Hoke is a really nice guy. He talked to me about the tradition and about all the players he coached. But the Big House was the most impressive. I walked in there and it was just amazing. I stood on the M and was thinking I could definitely see myself playing there. When I walked out onto the field I had some hype music that I was singing in my head and it felt good, it was magical.
A lot of what Kyle is looking for comes with comfortability and feeling like he fits in.
This visit really made me know that all those coaches are there for my well being, and they're definitely going to be on my side through my time there. I know for a fact that they all care for me. I kind of want to decide before my season so it won't be a distraction. I'll probably come out with my top list soon, but Michigan is definitely in heavy consideration. They definitely moved up in my mind.
Dodson also said that he will only consider schools that have offered him, and doesn't want to wait for schools to come through past a certain point. Michigan is in really good position with Kyle and he's an outstanding prospect for Michigan's needs.
Royce Jenkins-Stone
6'2", 215 lbs
Detroit, Michigan
This wasn't the first trip for Royce Jenkins-Stone, but it was an important one. He came up with his friends LB James Ross and DB Terry Richardson. All three were hoping to see more from the new coaches and saw just that.
This visit helped me see how they coach and how the environment changes. I talked to some of the players and asked them what these coaches were like. They said that there's not much yelling and they really treat you like their sons. They help you with your personal stuff more than just football. I think I feel comfortable with them, and I know my mom likes it a lot. She thinks it's a great place for me.
Royce has seen his offer list blow up and has become a national recruit. He plans on taking his time with everything, but this visit definitely helped Michigan.
Yeah, this visit helped Michigan a lot. I didn't think it was that family centered up there. Everyone felt like they were at home, and I know for a fact that none of those coaches are leaving. If I go there none of them are leaving for the three or four years I'm there. I know Terry [Richardson] and James [Ross] felt the same way. I don't know where they're at with everything, but I know they liked it.
Those three recruits, Jenkins-Stone, Ross, and Richardson have seemed to become an area of focus for these coaches and they expressed that on this visit.
Coach Mattison went over film with us and what positions we would be playing. He said they see Biggs [James Ross] as a WILL and they see me at MIKE. They said we're the dream team, me, Terry, and James, and that they really want us.
Like I said Royce has offers from almost everywhere and he plans on checking those schools out. He'll most likely use official visits for the schools that aren't within driving distance and unofficials for the closer schools. He plans on coming out with a top ten before the season, a top five mid season, and then a top three before he decides towards the end of the season. He was also nominated for the US Army All American game, so he may decide then if he gets chosen.
March 24-26th Visitors
These are the names that I have confirmed so far. This list will change as the date gets closer and I confirm more people.
- Kentucky QB Zeke Pike (6'5", 220 lbs): Pike told me he's visiting Michigan this week and will probably be up on Thursday. It's not set in stone yet.

- OL Daron Brown (6'5", 312 lbs) Michigan: Has been up to Michigan before, and is hoping for an offer.

- MAYBE RB Auctavius Bennett (5'7", 180 lbs) Maryland
- MAYBE WR Monty Madaris (6'2", 175 lbs) Ohio: Not sure of his ride situation, but is trying to make it up.
Massachusetts LB Camren Williams and Armani Reeves both took in Michigan this weekend. Williams had excellent things to say about the trip.
Ohio OL Caleb Stacey was offered while visiting Michigan. Stacey thoroughly enjoyed the visit, and it probably vaulted Michigan to the top. We'll see if he decides to make a decision soon.
TVH Weekly: Andrus Peat, James Ross, and More
The theme of 2012 recruiting for Michigan so far has been wide receivers and linemen. Forty of the (approximately) sixty-seven offers have gone to wide receivers, defensive, and offensive linemen. MGoUser umhero has been gracious enough to update the offer list here. If you'd like to go even more in depth, Rescue_Dawn has used his free time to create a recruiting map. As always, if you would like more updates from me you can head over to Twitter and folllow me @TomVH. If you have any recruiting tips or questions please email me at [email protected].
Andrus Peat
6'6", 270 lbs.
Offensive Tackle
Tempe, Arizona
Another recruit out in my neck of the woods, Peat has racked up offers from almost everywhere. Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Notre Dame, Texas... you name the school they've offered Andrus. That offer list includes the Wolverines. Andrus returns some early interest, and wants to find out more about the program.
I definitely have interest in Michigan. Their program's prestige and just how they have consistently won over the years is definitely a plus for me. The fact that they produce great offensive linemen, and NFL guys is great too. Michigan is definitely a school I would like to get out and see. I'm going wait until all my offers come in and then go from there. I'll take some spring and summer visits then cut my list towards the end of the summer.
Peat's father played in the NFL and his brother was a Nebraska signee for the 2011 class so he has some familiarity with the process. The fact that his brother chose a team to the north says distance may not be a factor. It's too early to tell if Michigan will make the cut. They have their work cut out for them since they're competing against the world.
James Ross
6'0", 209 lbs.
Orchard Lake, Michigan
Ross is probably the top prospect in the state of Michigan for the 2012 class. He has been racking up the offers lately, and recently received a verbal one from Ohio State. James and his father recently visited Ann Arbor before the Best of the Midwest combine so they could get a better feel for the new coaches. His father (also named James) told me about how that trip went.
We've been up there quite a few times, but I wanted him to meet the new staff. The staff was actually trying to get him up there as much as I was. Everything was smooth, everything they said was what he was looking for.
I'm not sure I even need to say this any more, but Greg Mattison has again left his mark on a recruit.
He fell in love with coach Mattison. I never paid attention early on to coordinators that much, but that guy was great. He was kinda funny too. He and coach Hoke broke it all open for him. We were there close to three hours just talking about football with Mattison, and more conversation with Hoke. Hoke's like a good ole boy, it was refreshing.
Besides gaining comfortability with the new coaches there were a few questions that were answered on the visit as well.
I know I read what type of defense they were going to run, and they told us it's going to be a 4-3. We run a 3-4 at Orchard Lake St. Mary's. What they want out of him is probably better for James, though. They said they want him to play WILL linebacker to emphasize his speed and have him free, a lot of blitzing, and basically let him play his game. James and the coaches saw eye to eye on that, I disagreed, but James thought that was good.
This visit did a lot for Michigan for both Mr. Ross and his son. It gave them a clear picture of how James would be used, and the people that would be coaching him as well. Mr. Ross is a Michigan fan, but has made sure he lets James make his own decision. Mr. Ross thinks that James will likely make his decision once he finds the place he feels is right.
Kyle Dodson
6'6", 315 lbs.
Offensive Tackle
Cleveland, Ohio
As I mentioned last night, Dodson received a Michigan offer yesterday. He's a monster offensive lineman reporting other offers from Illinois, Michigan State, NC State, and West Virginia.
[Michigan] was definitely a school I wanted an offer from. Coach Funk was the one that offered me. He said they enjoyed watching my film and I look like a player they want at Michigan. They have a lot of tradition, and even though they haven't been playing that well lately I still have a lot of interest in them. I'm definitely going to try to make it up there for the Junior Day.
Growing up in Ohio typically means there are some ties to Ohio State, and that's true for Kyle.
How I was raised, I grew up a Buckeye fan and not liking Michigan. Now that I'm more mature and I'm looking at schools it's completely different. This is my decision, and it's going to be my choice so all that stuff goes out the window. I'm first looking at academics, because I want to major in criminal justice, second a family based football team, and third the environment and surroundings.
Dodson is planning on taking a trip to Ohio State soon, and could see an offer soon from the Buckeyes. He's also getting attention from Auburn, Oregon, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.
A Few Names to Watch:
Illinois DT Jaleel Johnson (6'2", 277 lbs) is expecting a Michigan offer in the next two weeks, and told me he will definitely be at the Junior Day.
Georgia DT Jordan Watkins (6'5", 260 lbs) is hoping to hear from Michigan. Watkins has a 3.66 GPA and offers from Auburn, Georgia Tech, and Miami to name a few. His film is here.
New York DB Wayne Morgan (5'11", 188 lbs) just received an offer from Alabama. His high school DB coach told me has interest in Michigan. Here are his sophomore highlights, junior film should be done this week.
Cali DT Ellis McCarthy (6'4", 310 lbs) his coach tells me Michigan is interested and has his film. He's extremely athletic for his size, quick, and goes whistle to whistle. Junior film is here.
Texas DE Mario Edwards (6'4", 260 lbs) already has big time offers and has had contact with Michigan, according to his coach. His coach also told me they've produced NFL talent before and Mario might be better than all of them. Mario's dad also played for the Dallas Cowboys. Junior Film.
- Illinois OL Jordan Diamond took in an unofficial visit to Ann Arbor, and told me how that went.
- Michigan DE Matt Godin was offered by Michigan and will be back up to Ann Arbor on Tuesday with his dad to talk to the coaches. He and Danny O'Brien give an update on where they're at here.
- Georgia DE Jordan Jenkins, Cali WR Jordan Payton and OL Jordan Simmons were all offered.
- Offensive linemen Kyle Murphy and Tyler Alt gave me an update on where they're at.
- Detroit OL Daron Brown (6'5", 310 lbs) took an unofficial visit to Michigan hoping for an offer. He told me he didn't get the offer, but the coaches told him they were definitely interested.
TomVH: Saturday Visitor
2012 Detroit Mumford OL/DL Daron Brown (6'5", 315 lbs) told me he'll be taking an unofficial to Michigan on Saturday, then performing in the Best of the Midwest combine on Sunday.
I was talking to Coach Jackson and he invited me up there for a visit. I think there's a possibility they might offer, but I'm not sure. He wants me to bring some film with me, so we'll see.
Daron is being recruited by MSU, Toledo, Syracuse, Penn State, CMU, Cincinnati, and WMU so far. Here's his junior film.

text: IMO the XD is single action, and guns like Glock and Kahr that complete the cocking of the striker before releasing it are neither SA or DA. I guess you could call them a hybrid of the two, but by labeling them SA/DA you infer the ability to cock the striker with a trigger pull. It takes both the slide, and the trigger to cock the striker.

Back roads prevail
... a large Cesar salad, while Jude had a ham flan, although the menu claimed it was a pie, but still good none the less.
Back on the road we fuelled up the Citroen at Vaxjo. That along with lunch and the bakery stop suggest Sweden is dearer than Denmark.
We had plenty of time to do the last 100 kms, so we selected the "shortest" rote to Eksjo off the Sat. Nav. That soon took us off Highway 23 onto a "yellow" road - similar to any tarmac rural road in NZ, although ...
First snow
As we travel across Sweden on our train, it has started to snow. It is coming down sideways and is heavy at some points. We are cosy inside. I think we are the only ones excited by the glimpse of the snow out the windows... Half way to Malmo the snow is thicker and making the forests of Christmas trees look just perfect. It is exciting to see the first snow in our European holiday. The little villages along the way look cold and isolated though and I am unsure how they ...
Hogwarts express
We are currently on our train from Stockholm to Copenhagen. We are on a regional train to Malmo and then quick change into Copenhagen for the final half hour. We are on the Hogwarts express for sure. Our first class tickets gave us a free breakfast in the dining cart. Train travel is from another time. A great time where the pace is slower and the seats are comfortable. I love this ...
Left home and got on the train
Now the trip has started. Had a big bowl of porridge topped with cinnamon this morning. Fixed up the rest in the apartment before I left. At this very moment I'm on the train heading towards Stockholm. Staying two days, visiting friends before leaving the country. Feels good leaving home the same day the first snow arrives. I'm excited for all of ...

In fact, dinner-caviar, followed by Arctic char and Swedish cheesecake is first-rate. Plus, the room is beautiful and sunset over Lake Vattern is ...

Pity the poor money-market fund operators. In this environment of near-zero short-term interest rates, they have to work very hard just to earn a few bucks on the substantial sums of money entrusted to them.
My colleague, analyst Rich Rockwood, brought the remarkable figures to my attention the other day. For example, the Schwab Government Money Market Fund invested $565 million in an overnight repurchase agreement with Barclays Capital. The next day, Barclays returned $565,000,157 to the fund for a grand total of $157 earned—a whopping a 0.01-percent rate.
The Schwab Government Fund has an average maturity of 42 days. And on a longer-term Federal Home Loan Bank security, the fund will earn $1,767 on a $100 million investment due in February 2012, for a 0.32-percent return.
Most fund managers are absorbing a significant portion of their annual expenses; otherwise, investor returns would be negative. In this case, Schwab has lowered its fees to 0.17 percent on its Government Money Fund from the 0.73 percent it normally would charge. After those reduced fees, the current yield on the fund is 0.01 percent.
Money funds supply grease to the gears of our financial system by investing in short-term government and corporate securities, thereby providing liquidity to the markets. Paging through the holdings of any money fund is an eye-opener to the world of today's short-term investor: The return on liquid money is virtually nonexistent. In June, the Federal Reserve alerted the markets that this scenario will persist for at least two more years.
The European debt debacle has reignited the discussion of money-market safety. Money-market funds are restricted to investing in securities with maturities of no longer than 397 days (about 13 months) and must maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of no longer than 60 days. While money-market funds are viewed as ultra-safe, they are not guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency.
All told, money-market funds hold $2.7 trillion in assets, with about 40 percent in government funds and the rest in "prime" money-market funds. Prime funds are not limited to investing in government-backed securities and until recently had significant exposure to European banks. According to Fitch Ratings at the end of May, half of all prime money fund assets were invested in European banks. Since then, American money funds have reduced their European holdings 30 percent.
In 2008, the Reserve Primary Fund's investments in Lehman short-term paper suffered losses that caused its net asset value to fall below the $1-a-share level money-market funds seek to maintain. Known as "breaking the buck," this event rocked the commercial paper market and caused market liquidity to dry up. To stem a run on the money markets, the Fed created a special lending program to temporarily backstop money funds.
Since then, several ideas have been floated to protect money fund investors from another blowup. They include floating net asset values that would allow fund shares to move in small increments above or below $1 per share. An emergency bank that allows access to funding when needed, and a reserve fund provided by the manager or from retained earnings to support loss protection also have been discussed.
Better, we view Microsoft at a 9 price-to-earnings ratio with a 2.5-percent yield as a money-fund substitute.•

1 Kings 10:10-29New International Version (NIV)
10 And she gave the king 120 talents[a] of gold, large quantities of spices, and precious stones. Never again were so many spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11 (Hiram's ships brought gold from Ophir; and from there they brought great cargoes of almugwood[b] and precious stones. 12 The king used the almugwood to make supports[c] for the temple of the Lord and for the royal palace, and to make harps and lyres for the musicians. So much almugwood has never been imported or seen since that day.)
13 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for, besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned with her retinue to her own country.
Solomon's Splendor
14 The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents,[d] 15 not including the revenues from merchants and traders and from all the Arabian kings and the governors of the territories.
16 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels[e] of gold went into each shield. 17 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold, with three minas[f] of gold in each shield. The king put them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
18 Then the king made a great throne covered with ivory and overlaid with fine gold. 19 The throne had six steps, and its back had a rounded top. On both sides of the seat were armrests, with a lion standing beside each of them. 20 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like it had ever been made for any other kingdom. 21 All King Solomon's goblets were gold, and all the household articles in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Nothing was made of silver, because silver was considered of little value in Solomon's days. 22 The king had a fleet of trading ships[g] at sea along with the ships of Hiram. Once every three years it returned, carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons.
23 King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth. 24 The whole world sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart. 25 Year after year, everyone who came brought a gift—articles of silver and gold, robes, weapons and spices, and horses and mules.
26 Solomon accumulated chariots and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses,[h] which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. 27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills. 28 Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue[i]—the royal merchants purchased them from Kue at the current price. 29 They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty.[j] They also exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and of the Arameans.

Project Description
The program will take any text file, read it, understand the meaning as much as possible and classify the text into the already existing three categories high level, medium level and low level. The program can only classify it into the high, medium or low if it understand the meaning of the text and simple string matching or phrase matching will not solve the problem as the same vocabulary might exist in all three cases. For details contact. No fancy software needed. It might be a java console program even with no time wasted on graphics or buttons and other interface items. But a real program that can classify any given text file.

Spatial Patterns And Geographic Determinants Of Welfare And Poverty In Tunisia
Previous poverty analysis in Tunisia concluded that the poor population is concentrated in interior areas, especially in the northwest and center west. Thus more information on the spatial dimension of welfare and poverty may be of interest for any poverty alleviation programs as poverty may be associated to geographic locations. However, the analysis of the spatial dimension cannot be limited to the addition of some variables to our econometric model. We have to consider the neighborhood effects and the heterogeneity of households' behaviors in more disaggregated geographic units using specific tools of spatial and geographical analysis. First, we conduct an exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) based on a geographical information system (GIS), to visualize the "local" spatial structure of poverty. Second — to deal with spatial autocorrelations and unobserved spatial heterogeneity of the households' behaviors — we use a spatial autoregressive model (SAR) and a geographical weighted regression model (GWR) respectively. Spatial and non-spatial models are compared according to their prediction performances. SAR and GWR spatial models are found superior to the traditional non-spatial regression model, and give a better approximation of the Tunisian poverty map.

If the final scoreline did not bear witness to the scale of marmalisation, it was because Leinster tired in the final few minutes and conceded tries to Michael Stephenson and Matt Stevens. But the Dubliners put five tries of their own past their hosts, three of them in the opening quarter and four of them works of art. For seven-eighths of the contest they were in a different league in terms of imagination and execution.
Felipe Contepomi, Shane Horgan and the incomparable Brian O'Driscoll were miles too good for the West Countrymen when it came to firing the bullets, loaded with relish by the industrious Keith Gleeson, who single-handedly dismantled Bath at the breakdown.
As a result of all this, Bath let slip a home quarter-final. Had they won the game, it would have been against Leeds; had they fiddled themselves a losing bonus point, it would have been against Munster. Now, they can look forward to a nice little trip to Leicester. They cannot complain, despite having topped their Pool.
Leinster were always likely to have the emotional force with them, for this was win-or-bust. But Bath had plenty of incentive too, and there is no mileage in pretending otherwise.
They ran into Leinster in last season's tournament and lost at the Rec after starting poorly. By comparison, though, their initial efforts a year ago were a minor triumph. Behind after six minutes on this occasion - Guy Easterby moved a penalty in his own 22, Denis Hickie made ground down the left before propelling a kick into midfield and Horgan steamed in from distance - there was worse, far worse, to come. Contepomi scored an interception try from a loose pass by Olly Barkley before O'Driscoll, low-slung and deadly, stepped past a couple of defenders to manufacture a try for Will Green, a Heineken Cup winner with Wasps in 2004.
In the face of all this brilliance, Bath showed nothing outside the scrum, leaving aside the occasional flash of inspiration from Barkley. More worrying still, there was precious little to write home about up front. Lee Mears carried the ball with his customary enthusiasm and there was a bucketload of sweat from Danny Grewcock. But unlike last season, when the Leinster pack often crumbled, Reggie Corrigan and Malcolm O'Kelly handled things quite comfortably, to the extent that it took Bath almost an hour to string together something resembling a concerted attack.
They were rewarded for that effort with a third penalty from Barkley, but - wouldn't you just know it? - Leinster responded with another withering assault from O'Driscoll, who presented Horgan with his second try in the right corner. The Ireland captain then had himself a little dabble down the opposite flank 10 minutes from time and combined sweetly with Jamie Heaslip before claiming the five points as his own.
It was that sort of performance: inventive, dynamic and utterly ruthless in execution. Toulouse lie in wait for the Irishmen. It should be some spectacle.

Bath: M Stephenson; A Higgins, T Cheeseman, S Finau, F Welsh; O Barkley (C Malone, 73), N Walshe (A Williams, 70); D Flatman (D Bell, 40), L Mears, M Stevens, D Grewcock, S Borthwick (capt), A Beattie, M Lipman, G Delve (P Short, 70).

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is apparently going to appeal a U.S. district judge's ruling that had overturned its decision to impose limits on the number of contracts that commodity traders can hold.
The CFTC had found that under the recently passed Dodd-Frank law, which amended the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, it now need not make a finding of "necessity" before it puts forth a rule to impose these position limits. It had ruled, in fact, that it was mandated by Congress to set limits and that it had no discretion to choose not to impose such limits.
The swaps and derivatives industries, however, challenged the CFTC's interpretation in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The industries contended that even under the Dodd-Frank amendments, the agency must find that it is "necessary and appropriate" to set position limits. In other words, for each given commodity, it would need to show that there was a risk of dangerous speculation.
On September 28, U.S. District Judge Robert Wilkins rejected the CFTC's position. He sent the rule back to the CFTC for further consideration, just two weeks before the limits were set to take effect. He said that Dodd-Frank did not give the agency a "clear and unambiguous mandate" to set position limits without showing they were necessary in each instance.
The law, wrote Judge Wilkins, requires "that the Court remand the rule to the agency so that it can fill in the gaps and resolve the ambiguities."
One would think that the agency would accept this direction from the judge and come up with an interpretation of the Dodd-Frank law that would indeed fill in gaps and resolve ambiguities. That is what an agency is supposed to do.
Now, however, according to Reuters and other reports in early November, there appears to be a CFTC majority – three of the five commissioners — in favor of appealing Judge Wilkins' decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
It seems odd to us, at the very least, that the agency is insisting on an interpretation of the Dodd-Frank law that strips it of all discretion and requires it to set position limits for dozens of commodities without a finding that the limits are going to be helpful to police the markets and limit excessive speculation. Especially now that a judge has ruled that Congress didn't unambiguously decide to tie the agency's hands, why pursue this appeal?

For every woman who has ever fantasized about driving past her exit on the highway instead of going home to make dinner, for every woman who has ever dreamed of boarding a train to a place where no one needs constant attention - meet Maribeth Klein, a harried working mother who's so busy taking care of her husband and twins, she doesn't even realize she's had a heart attack.
Afterward, surprised to discover that her recuperation seems to be an imposition on those who rely on her, Maribeth does the unthinkable: She packs a bag and leaves. But, as is so often the case, once she gets to where she's going, she sees her life from a different perspective. Far from the demands of family and career, and with the help of liberating new friendships, Maribeth is finally able to own up to secrets she has been keeping from those she loves - and from herself.
With big-hearted characters who stumble and trip, grow and forgive, Leave Me is about facing our fears. Gayle Forman, a dazzling observer of human nature, has written an irresistible novel that confronts the ambivalence of modern motherhood head-on.
©2016 Gayle Forman (P)2016 Recorded Books
"Eva Kaminsky's narration is at once uniquely emotional and quietly familiar.... Each character in this novel has his or her own voice, thanks to Kaminsky's skill. Personalities emerge with nuances of timbre and tone.... Listeners will be reluctant to leave." (AudioFile)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Emotional, Satisfying, All the Feels"
Gayle Forman is one of my favorite YA authors, and so I was thrilled to see her make her Adult debut with Leave Me. She brings "all the feels" we've come to expect from her work in this new venture. Leave Me centers around an overworked magazine editor/wife/mom who takes drastic measures to reclaim her life when she has a heart attack at 44. She picks up and leaves everyone behind to take charge of her own recovery when she can't get a break at home.
Maribeth works full-time at her lifestyle magazine job, manages the household and takes charge of her preschool-age twins. Her husband works long hours and assumes a less active role at home. When Maribeth has a sudden heart attack, the pieces of their lives start to unravel. Husband Jason enlists Maribeth's mother to help pick up the slack, but she is not as supportive to Maribeth or her family as she could be. When a lice outbreak strikes both twins at once, Maribeth has had enough.She leaves everything behind to take charge of her recovery.
Forman makes Maribeth's story so relatable with showing the exhaustion and stresses of trying to do it all. It's hard to imagine leaving your kids behind but given her situation it didn't seem that she had much choice. Maribeth's story of self-discovery is fulfilling and satisfying and felt very real but still like an escape.
Eva Kaminsky is a new-to-me narrator, and she is a good fit for Leave Me. She conveyed the stresses in Maribeth's life well so it was easy to understand Maribeth's desire to leave for some much-needed R&R. Kaminsky's voice lent the appropriate emotional tone for this journey and made each character sound distinct. I did speed up the pace to 1.5x to better suit my taste and that worked well. This is an audiobook I didn't want to put down.
Fans of Forman's YA books should give this one a try, and also recommended for readers of authors like Karma Brown and Taylor Jenkins Reid.
"That Ending???"
All I can say is I hope that there is a second part of this book. So many questions :(
"an absolutely wonderful book"
i loved this book! i could totally relate to it and hated to see it end. every stressed out mother could certainly relate to what the main character, marybeth was feeling !
"Great narrator, weak story"
I love this author's young adult books. But she doesn't translate as well into adult fiction. The story was weak and the main character so unsympathetic. Characters were contrived. Narrator was outstanding.
"The title is misleading"
I really loved the story and the narrator was great. The title was a bite misleading when I purchased it, but very enjoyable anyway.
"Great novel"
Another great book by Gayle Forman! A little mad at the ending but that's because I wanted more....
"Beautiful read!"
This book draws you in quickly with it's twists and turns but you'll like it... I promise. The subject is fascinating and I really did want to see what is the outcome.
I did question some of her moves but I don't know what I would do in that situation (not a mother myself). It was a touching book and really fast read.
"Disliked main character"
The only reason I finished this book was because it was a book club pick. The main character is annoying and self-important. I could not see her point of view, which was either due to lack of explanation by the author or my own inability to get past the fact that she just left her kids. Either way; get over yourself Maribeth.

Modern Dilemmas: Travel or donate?
It's the time of year when you might be planning and paying for a trip away...many of us can spend quite a bit of money on our annual holiday. The question of travel and ethics is at the core of today's modern dilemma which comes from Pippa. My modern dilemma is this - I would dearly love to re-visit some of the great art galleries of Europe. I have no doubt this would be a very enriching experience for me and I have been able to save enough to make this overseas trip, about $6,000. But here's the rub. I could spend the money in this purely self-indulgent way. Alternatively, I could choose to give away these surplus funds in the belief that, if enough other people did likewise, it would certainly help alleviate the suffering of some of our fellow human beings who we know to be in much more desperate need than ourselves.

I think Pippa is doing great things, much more than most Australians. I don't think she needs to beat herself up.
Go and enjoy yourself Pippa and when you return, go out and find some way to encourage other Australians to think more, do more, give more. That way you will probably be contributing more effectively to helping the world's underprivileged than spending more of your own limited resources.
You deserve your holiday.

What a dilemma, and well analysed. However I would like to take it further? Whether it is what lies behind Pippa's dilemma is, of course a matter for her to answer. To me, the dilemma she paints touches on the big issues of global inequality and the unrest this brings, and the environmental change that has been becoming more and more obvious with cutting-edge science; that we are trading on and living on our children's future – we who live a western lifestyle. You have heard the rhetoric: to live sustainably on this planet the way we do we will need 1.5 planet Earths, and for everyone on earth to live the way we westerners do now (equality) we would need 5 or 6 planet Earths. Thanks to Pippa for such thought provocation. Life Matters, could you open up the discussion further along these lines, using as a basis information found on the wonderfully informed and informative programs like Science Show, Big Ideas, Late Night Live, Background Briefing, Four Corners, Ockham's Razor and more? And if so, are we not at the brink of big changes?!

Pippa could spend part of her holiday volunteering with an NGO in a third world country. She could also contact 'Carry for Kids'.
There are two kinds of tourist. One kind travels purely for personal pleasure, doesn't care about local customs, culture or social problems. This type takes as much as they can, giving back the least possible in return.
The other type of tourist researches the culture, language, history and politics of countries visited, seeking to understand how the local people live. They are respectful of local customs and beliefs, and endeavour to give back as much as they receive.

Thanks to Life Matters for airing this dilemma. Beautifully read Natasha – you really captured the energy behind it. Thanks to Damon for his passionate advocacy of the value of art and the need to support it, with which I fully agree. Thanks to Doris for her thoughtful and perceptive insights which were very helpful to me. Thanks also for the comments of listeners which I appreciated.
What the discussion lacked was the broader global political, economic and environmental context, which thankfully Bronwyn points out in her comment. Even as a pensioner living on less than $20,000 per year, I am in the world's richest top 5% and I have an acute sense of being fully implicated in an unjust, destructive and completely unsustainable Western lifestyle.
As global citizens, I believe we do have a positive duty to care for our planet and to work towards greater equality, which will require us to radically change our priorities. As a dear friend reminds me, if we don't change our direction, we are likely to end up where we're heading! And if we are not part of the solution, then we're most likely part of the problem.
I must also protest that I am no saint. I am as selfish, self-centred and hedonistic as the next person. The little I do involves no real personal sacrifice or hardship. To label me some kind of secular saint conveniently removes me from the world of any practical influence. Placing me in such an elevated 'saintly' category can then be used as an excuse by 'lesser mortals' for inaction. I firmly believe we can all easily contribute much more than we do by consuming less and giving more. And we can achieve this while still enjoying 'the good life', which I do in abundance.
Whenever I have tentatively raised this dilemma with friends, the response has been general incredulity and, if I press the matter, increasing unease. I am very mindful of Doris's warning of the risk of taking the moral high ground and alienating others. And I am acutely aware of my own tendency to be preachy. Although I have felt conscience driven to raise these issues publicly, it has been difficult to know how best to bridge the personal and the public dimensions.
Those interested in how I have resolved this issue for the time being might like to read on.

Thanks, Pippa (for this, and your dilemma).
Two brief replies, on top of the earlier discussion.
I agree that the global conditions are very important to recognise. While some Australians live in relative poverty, we add 'relative' for a reason: others live in abject poverty abroad (and in parts of Australia). I've discussed some of this here (regarding the 'super rich'): http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/superrich-exceptions-are-closer-to-being-the-rule-20110401-1crfh.html
On the 'secular saint', it's true this can seem like an otherwordly label--the province of myth or legend, not ordinary life. My apologies, if so. When I said it, I was thinking of Nikos Kazantzakis' Saint Francis, someone well aware of his "selfish...and hedonistic" traits--but trying doggedly to do better. It's a metaphor for rare willingness to keep giving--and the anguish that can accompany it. But a clumsy one, perhaps (particularly from an atheist).

At the personal level, this dilemma had been brewing for a couple of years since visiting the Musee d'Orsay Exhibition in Canberra. And it was heightened dramatically when I recently visited the Prado Exhibition at the Queensland Art Gallery. I was so overwhelmed by the impact of experiencing such masterpieces in the original that I felt this great longing and yearning for more.
However, the single image that lodged most deeply within me was that of 'Christ carrying the Cross', a truly great masterpiece by Titian – in my view, the most convincing and arresting image of Jesus ever portrayed. And, reflecting on Doris's hints, I have come to realize that what this astonishing image is really about for me is the confrontation of self-interest by conscience. This has been a most helpful insight for me.
My present advice to myself is this:
'Follow your conscience. It is what has made you the person you are. It has brought you to this dilemma. And it will lead you out of it.
'Following your conscience is the primary source and trajectory of any meaningful personal flourishing for you. They cannot be in conflict.
'If your conscience is uneasy about a course of action, stop and listen to it. Wait rather than try to push through by some act of willpower.
'Allow the mystery inherent in such a dilemma to deepen in you.
'Be open to surprise. Something might come out of left field that resolves the immediate dilemma and leads you forward in unexpected ways.'
This, in fact, is what has happened to me. I had made a holding booking for a flight to London, still feeling very conflicted. However a few days later, a situation arose completely out of the blue where I had the opportunity to buy something that I knew would be of lasting pleasure to my closest and dearest friend. I felt a quite spontaneous and irresistible urge to make a gift of it, even though it was quite expensive. Fortunately my friend felt moved to accept. It was wonderful and has brought us both much joy.
From that point, it was easy for me to make the further choice of giving some of the balance to my daughter to further help her build her house (another joy but also, I believe, an obligation that we baby-boomers have to redress the inter-generational injustice we have perpetrated on our children who cannot afford to buy their own home because of our investment priorities).
The balance of the $6,000 I have given to help alleviate third world poverty, partly to offset the extra consumption in the West that my other two gifts will perpetuate!

Although I am very happy with these decisions, my response to the program makes me realize that the original dilemma remains very much alive for me.
I do not know whether or how it will ultimately resolve.
I recognise that it is this same conscience that troubles me that also pulls me strongly to embark on such a pilgrimage at this time of life - particularly now that I am more open to its transforming power than when on my last fleeting visit as a youth over 40 years ago.
But something tells me to wait for a clearer calling.
I have always believed that great art, literature and music - along with our deepest personal attachments to others and to nature – are fundamental to the good life. Together, they ground our moral concerns and they demand our response to the great moral challenges confronting us.
So these are not so much competing claims for me but one and the same, arising out of a deeper life force. It's just that working out how to act based on such an awareness can sometimes be very difficult to discern.
I have continued saving and I will trust that my conscience will eventually lead me to a place of ultimate reconciliation that transcends both horns of this excruciating dilemma.
Thank you all for letting me share part of my strange life with you, for taking the issues seriously and for helping me get to this point.
It is already proving to be quite a journey!
