Business cycle theory is a broad and disparate field. Different schools of thought offer alternative explanations for cycles, often using different mathematical methods. This book aims to provide academics and graduate students of economics with an exposition of business cycle theory since Keynes. The author places the main theories — Keynesian economics, monetarism, new classical economics, the real business cycles theory, and new Keynesian economics — in a historical context by presenting them in the chronological order of their appearance and highlighting their differences and commonalities ...

I encounter numerous people with their own set of problems and Reasons.
Here are few of the Most Irritating and Noob questions I have encountered. I am tired of explaining them the actual reason…! So taking my frustration out here….!!
1. For those with issues with their Broadband Connection and speed:
I am tired of Hearing about 100 Mbps Broadband connection and Your Download speeds of 10 kBps, 35 kBps and 60 kBps and so on… 100Mbps is your local network connection speed not the Broadband Speed…! Yeah LAN Speed…!!
To the Guys with a 256 kbps Broadband and getting 32 kBps download speed, guys there is nothing wrong with your internet Connection… There is a Difference between Bits and Bytes which you need to understand.
kbps = k bits per sec
kBps= k bytes per second.
Also 1 byte = 8 bits
so Broadband speed in kBps = 256kBps/8 = 32 kBps
yeah… there is nothing wrong with your connection…!! (I have just proved it above, still if you have doubt why I have divided by 8, Then you are free to jump from any floor i can't teach you).
*The same rules apply for your mobile connection, which connects at 114 kbps but you get speeds of 5 kBps download… because GPRS speed is depends on your Phone… and the same rules apply for 3G and EDGE and whatever technology…!
2. And you have a 1GB graphics card…!
You are simply too great…!! You are simply great…!! Go tell everyone that how less you paid for your Graphics card than someone who got a 512MB graphics card or maybe a 256MB graphics card. Seriously speaking, Shut your mouth…
You have 1GB of graphics card? Which Core? Speed of Memory? Well you have no Idea…! and if I try to explain you, you don't want to listen as 1GB is greater than 512MB…! Great… You can be happy with your 1GB card… Whereas someone with 512 MB card can play games which your comp can't play even though you have 1GB…!
For those who are interested, Here is the Simple explanation…!!
Graphics card has Core and Memory
Cores can be Fast and slow …!
Memory Also has speed…!
So your 1GB card can be a Slow core, low speed memory card which you got for cheap…!
And you still argue with me that your card has more memory and you paid less…!!
3. Your Old Pentium 3 processor runs faster than the Core 2 Duo/ Athlon/ Phenom / Core i Processors…!!
Oh, Yes… Go give that processor to intel and tell them the same thing… They might just reward you…!!
Actually the thing is, You use your processor for browsing and your browser launches a micro second earlier than the others sometimes and you think you have a Great processor….!! Run a HD movie and Check how great your Processor is, You will surely make out you are on edge of extinction.
That is not all…!!
There are people who ask me to send Movies across E-mail(Yeah, and you don't even have broadband…! how will you download the attachment…!).
There are people who wanted to backup their GB's of data by sending a mail over Dial-Up connection.
There are people who just see there is a network icon, which should enable them to connect to internet even though they have not subscribed to any internet plan.
There are people who want a DVD movie in 256 MB pendrive by Compressing, without losing quality.
This post is dedicated to all those who just Imagine things, in their way…!!! If you have bump into any, tell me your encounter.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paddy Crerand was involved in an astonishing outburst on national radio this morning as he reacted angrily to the suggestion that Rio Ferdinand could in any way have provoked Manchester City fans with his celebration of United's winner in yesterday's derby.
Ferdinand appeared to be hit by a coin following Robin van Persie's late goal at the Etihad Stadium and City goalkeeper Joe Hart also had to prevent a supporter from confronting the United defender.
It was put to Crerand during an interview on BBC Radio Five Live that listeners had called and texted the show to suggest that players should tone down their celebrations in front of opposition fans, but Crerand was disgusted by the insinuation that Ferdinand had any responsibility for the incident and repeatedly challenged the station to say how many people had blamed Ferdinand.
"Who said that? That is ridiculous," Crerand said.
"What planet do they live on? That is absolute garbage. How many people have phoned you up? One, two, three? How many? Why make a statement like that if you haven't got (the number of listeners) to hand...if you haven't got the evidence?"
Asked to respond to the suggestion that Ferdinand could have provoked the attacks, Crerand added: "I think the point is absolutely ludicrous."
At one point Crerand asked interviewer Chris Warburton: "Is this a publicity stunt? Ask me a sensible question and don't talk stupid, asking me daft questions about whether fans should celebrate or not."
Warburton's co-presenter Rachel Burden interjected to suggest to Crerand that there may have been a misunderstanding of the question that had been asked.
Crerand demanded again to know how many people had contacted the show.
"How many texts? A million? Half a million? A hundred thousand?"
Crerand added: "Rio Ferdinand was nowhere near where the home fans were. He gets struck by a coin that someone has thrown from about 15 or 20 yards, it wasn't as if he was standing in front of their supporters jumping up and down."
After Burden asked Crerand a couple of questions, he said: "Why have you changed commentators, why have you come on all of a sudden?"
Crerand was told it was standard for both presenters to contribute questions and Warburton said: "Don't worry, I haven't run scared Paddy."
Crerand later insisted he stood by what he had said in his radio interview.
He said the issue was with a coin being thrown, not the players' reaction, and therefore he was not prepared to add fuel to what he considered was the wrong debate.
"It is a local derby and you are expected to get carried away, particularly after you've come back having been 2-0 up and let it get to 2-2," he told Press Association Sport.
"But they (Five Live) were looking for something sensationalist, they weren't looking for anything sensible.
"They were interested in making it worse than it was.
"They said they had received lots of calls from fans but they couldn't say how many. One of them (Burden) was not even at the game, they didn't even see it."
Crerand condemned the throwing of objects at players.
"What do people think about when they do that?" he added.
"It was stupidity and it shouldn't happen but it is very difficult to find out who threw the coin."

Network Access Control Appliance's Behavioral Rules Keep Networks Secure From Data Destruction
AUSTIN, Texas--Jan. 25, 2006--Mirage Networks, developers of award-winning Network Access Control (NAC) technology, today announced that its behavioral threat detection technology detects and defends networks from attacks by the so-called Kama Sutra worm. This worm, first detected on January 16th, 2006, had infected nearly 700,000 computers by early Monday, January 23, and includes a trigger code that will overwrite data in several Microsoft and Adobe document formats on February 3rd, effectively destroying valuable data.
Known variously as Worm_Grew.A, W32.Blackmal.E@mm, W32/Kapser.A@mm, W32/MyWife, Win32/Blackmal.F, it is referred to primarily as Kama Sutra, thanks to the subject lines and content of the emails that spread it. Victims opening the attached file, usually referred to in the email as a video clip, download the virus, which then downloads an SMTP mailer to propagate itself.
It is this very action that Mirage NAC(TM) detects and thwarts. The company has lab-tested its solution against Kama Sutra, and has determined that the solution stops the worm's propagation quickly and effectively. Mirage cites its behavioral rule approach as the most effective way to catch and stop this destructive worm, just as it did with the recent WMF vulnerability attacks and the Zotob worm.
The core of Mirage's NAC solutions is a set of behavioral rules, which detect behavior that is indicative of threat propagation. These rules detect when a network-attached device is engaging in behavior that is not characteristic of a clean machine -- in the case of Kama Sutra, it detects that an infected device begins sending out mass mailers. Mirage NAC then sends the infected device to a quarantine server, to enable remediation.
The company stresses that patching and antivirus updates are necessary; however, relying on patching to protect networks from worm attacks is unrealistic. According to Gartner, best-of-breed organizations have control of only about 80 percent of the endpoints on their networks. The reality of mobile computing is that devices are not always patched in a timely manner, and inevitably, errors will occur.
Mirage Networks' unique NAC approach ensures continuous monitoring of every network-attached endpoint. Its technology uses behavioral detection to find and surgically isolate endpoints either propagating threats or violating security policy. The out-of-band appliance detects, slows and isolates threats that are introduced onto the network by mobile computing, remote connections, and day-zero malware -- complementing perimeter security solutions and giving companies a more complete, in-depth security defense infrastructure.
About Mirage Networks
Mirage Networks is an Austin, Texas-based network security company dedicated to delivering real world, complete network access control solutions, serving the enterprise through a strong channel of resellers, original equipment manufacturers and managed security service providers.

With Jax (Charlie Hunnam) at a loss over how to fix his marriage to Tara (Maggie Siff) and as a crossroads with SAMCRO, "Sons of Anarchy" continues on in the next episode, "John 8:32." A promo for the episode shows some very interesting developments with both the club and Tara's faked miscarriage.
With D. A. Patterson (CCH Pounder) turning up the heat on Barosky (Peter Weller), the law is getting even closer to being able to pin the school shooting gun on the club, something they are doing everything they can to avoid. Perhaps that's why Jax is sitting down with Patterson, to direct her away from the club. At this point that's practically impossible, though.
Then there's Tara. Her lawyer is very open about the problems she could be facing if it's discovered that her pregnancy and miscarriage were all a ruse to extract Gemma (Katey Sagal) from her children's lives. Of course, Gemma already knows the truth after a little chat with Wendy (Drea de Matteo). She's going after Tara's only true confidant, Margaret Murphy (McNally Sagal), next.
With so much dishonesty this season, the title of the episode is very selling. In the Bible, John 8:32 reads, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." The question is, whose truth will be revealed? Additionally, it looks like Clay (Ron Perlman) is back, after sitting out an episode, but it's not under the best circumstances.
"Sons of Anarchy" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on FX.

Guide to Elo for beginners - Deck Building
Elo can be played if your level 20 and the sum of stars is 25
I made this thread,so people will know what deck to use and why use some of those cards
Deck Compositions:
-Pure maxed cards in the deck requires cards with a good combination of abilities and power and has excellent bonus to "interact" or "combo" with each other
La Junta-12
jane ramba-3
*with this deck,you can make a fury for a second round on your junta's to end the game,Pussycats will also work
-Unevolved CARDS???As prefered by some of the best players,they use some commonly good cards that has good power to use as level 1 or higher,some are like:Gwen,Noon Steevens,chad bread,SkrumxxT,Charlie,yayoi and more,you may see no combo with these decks are you making with unevolved cards but you will stay "huge" against your opponent
*commonly,Pussycats are the best choice if you like to go on this unevolved cards,it will make you deck wide and more defensive,try this one(raven's deck):
All Stars-15
Well that is all,Good Games to all
PS:Moderator if your reading this,please make the subject sticky
Why do peaple use 2 clans for there deck?Wouldnt just 1 be better?
Hmm yes good question why not 1 clan only,because some doesnt have 2 good level 3's and lots of good level 2 to fill the deck
example is Uppers on the past months,but now they had Mickey T and beteenka who could just fill up...
I think Bangers is the best example for a stand-alone elo deck(Pussycats can do also if you had Manon Cr)
anyways people use two to gain advantage on 3-5 good cards on each clan...
BUT ONE PROBLEM SOMETIMES IS YOU DONT GET 2 bonus at a time
So your saying if you could you would. 1 clan has alot of good xstar cards and not enough good Xstar cards so you find 2 to combine.
I'd say it depends on deck,theres a deck i saw and i think i call it "killer"...a deck consists of 2 stop bonus and 3 stop abilities....very deadly
Alexei and striker is used in this deck,but Marina is good so you just pick,any would be both playable but Alexei can be used as level 3 to stop some deadly abilities
Well its good,just dont use Zoltan,why not tag in Uranus?
Ombre Cr,not bad
i prefer Maciej than Vassili
but Vassili on the other hand is usable on level 3,very
IS GHEIST a good deck for elo?

The Horse Forum
- Horse Training
- - training under saddle or bareback?
training under saddle or bareback? I am wondering, is it better to train a green horse (safe green horse) under saddle and a bridle or just bareback with a halter? My 3-year old is safely ridden either way, just wondering if it makes a difference in training? Maybe just horse preference? |
(this is going off of what my trainer does) I would first make sure that the horse is used to and comftorable being in a bridle and saddle being lunged at w/t/c. And the first couple times my trainer hops on, she may do it bareback but with a young horse she likes them to be ridden in a saddle so they're used to the feel. After they are comfy doing either, she switches it every day, I don't know why. When she starts with leg pressure and yielding, she tries it in saddle but later works bareback because they will stay more sensitive. |
This horse seems comfortable and happy no matter what I do with her. Rode her bareback with a halter and a tarp over her head the other day and she was not bothered at all. I was just wondering from a training standpoint.....so maybe bareback training keeps her more sensitive to my leg cues? We have been working on yielding hindquarters and on the forehand, serpentines, whoa, back up mostly. |
IMHO, there is simply no such thing as a "safe" green horse. All of my horses are started with a saddle, mostly for my safety, but also because having a saddle there helps me to eliminate unwanted movement in my own body that would spook/confuse a green horse. I know that ideally, a person's seat should be just as good bareback as it is with a saddle, but I don't ride bareback as much as I used to when I was 15, so my bareback seat isn't nearly as strong or as steady as it used to be. I know that I wouldn't be able to ride out a spin/bolt or a decent buck without my saddle and I just don't see the point in risking traumatizing a young horse even more by falling off of him. |
I totally agree with smrobs! If you did come off of a horse who was a bit naughty, and was green, he might get the idea that this was "normal" . I do not want any horse I ride to think it's normal that I come off. (not that I can guarantee I won't come off) |
Yeah, I see what you are saying. I have only ridden her bareback in the park next to our stables and in the arena where we just walk and do the turning, steering stuff, backing and standing still while I rub her all over. Trust me, if I felt at all uncinfident with her, I wouldn't....I'm old and do not want to land on the ground. Just thought it would be good for her/us to do relaxing, slow exercises together gaining confidence and bond. |
Another consideration is what speed you are going during your training and where you are riding them at. I suppose if I was just going to walk around a familiar area, then bareback vs saddle wouldn't be that big of a deal, but my training is usually done on a fairly limited time frame. I have horses because I enjoy them, but I also have them to work so they need to be broke as quickly as I can without compromising the integrity of the training. The horses I train very seldom spend an entire training session at a nice, plodding walk because I may have 30 or 60 or 90 days to turn an unhandled 3-4 year old into a horse that your average intermediate rider can throw their saddle on and do a day's work in a feedlot/ranch/trail without serious incident. I do a lot of work at a trot and lope, doing lots of stops (and I expect hard stops), fast turns, rollbacks, spins, etc. I can ride all that out on my old, broke, dependable horses without a saddle, but on most of the green horses I get, that would be difficult if not downright impossible. |
I'm more comfortable and feel I have better 'sticky' in a saddle with a greenie. |
Saddles generally add some stick and keep your seat steadier for the horse. But nothing wrong with playing bareback. Handy if you've got half hour before dark to be able to hop on! Posted via Mobile Device |
It has just been mostly basics and playing around while I have had one hand over the past seven weeks with these pins and cast on my arm. Been just nice laid back kind of stuff. Cast and pins come off tomorrow and then more training under saddle soon. |

RGB002: Bulbasaur, Come Home!
Redirected from VS. Bulbasaur
this wiki
Bulbasaur, Come Home! (VSゴーリキー VS Machoke) is the 2nd chapter of Pokémon Adventures: Volume 1.
Red sneaks into Professor Oak's Lab as he finds the door open. A professor comes and accuses Red of being a thief. In the moment of panic, Red releases all Pokémon from the lab. While Red manages to capture all, he faces a Bulbasaur, who runs away from him and the professor. However, a new bond between Bulbasaur and Red is made, as they battle a fierce Pokémon.
Chapter Plot
Red rings the bell, but soon sees nobody answers. He sees the door is unlocked and goes inside. He soon sees a lab with many Poké Balls and notices one containing a Bulbasaur. Red shows Poliwhirl to Bulbasaur, the latter being frightened. Suddenly, a professor appears before Red and yells at him, thinking he is the Poké Thief. Red takes some steps back and activates the Poké Balls, causing the Pokémon contained inside to be released out. A Pidgey comes and leaves goo on the professor's face. The professor is annoyed and sends Red to retrieve back the Pokémon.
After a long time, Red managed to get most of them. Red goes to get the remaining ones, but the professor catches him, still in belief he is the thief. Red apologises, but claims he is no thief and goes to get the remaining ones. The professor sees it is getting dark, but Red is persistent. The professor goes on his motocycle to assist Red, but still lets him know that he will turn him in the police. They tracked most of the Pokémon to Viridian City and managed to get one of the last Pokémon, a Meowth. Red sees the last one, Bulbasaur, but the professor knows Bulbasaur will be hard to catch. Bulbasaur goes into the Viridian Gym.
The professor and Red head inside the Gym. Despite the dark, damp interior, and even a statue depicting a man, Bulbasaur is found. However, Bulbasaur tackles the professor. Red comforts Bulbasaur, knowing this is its first time outside the gym, as he saw only the professor and other Pokémon at the lab. Suddenly, they encounter a Machoke, who goes after Red. Machoke goes to punch Red, but Bulbasaur's Vine Whip stops it. Red tells the professor of Bulbasaur's action, but sees the professor is knocked out, but knows he has a bulb. Machoke strikes again, but misses. Red is cornered, but sees light coming out of the window. Red removes the curtains, allowing Bulbasaur to be powered enough to release a Solar Beam to defeat Machoke.
The professor woke up and asks Red how he knew Bulbasaur knew Solarbeam. Red admits he did not, but seeing the bulb on Bulbasaur he thought it could release energy once it is in contact with sunlight. The professor laughs at this, but seeing what happened today, decides to give Red the Bulbasaur. Red is pleased, but clarifies he was not a thief, but was looking for info on becoming a better trainer. He tells the professor of yesterday's events. The professor asks Red what does he think what makes him a good trainer: knowing some good tricks or having powerful Pokémon?
The professor answers he is mistaken if he thinks of that. He tells Red that the key to become a great trainer is to find connection between Pokémon, like he did with Bulbasaur. The professor asks for Red's name, then gives him a Pokédex, which stores info on Pokémon. The professor believes that if Red were to complete the Pokédex, he'd be one of the greatest Pokémon trainers ever. Red is fascinated about that idea.

Keeping Afghanistan Safe From DemocracyPosted on Nov 3, 2009
The most idiotic thing being said about America's involvement in Afghanistan is that the best way to protect the 68,000 U.S. troops there now is by putting an additional 40,000 in harm's way. People who argue for that plan clearly have not read Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal's report pushing for escalation. The general is as honest as he is wrong in laying out the purpose of this would-be expanded mission, which is to remold Afghanistan in a Western image by making U.S. troops far more vulnerable, rather than less so. He is honest in arguing that American troops would have to be deployed throughout the rugged and otherwise inhospitable terrain of rural Afghanistan, entering intimately into the ways of local life so as to win the hearts and minds of a people who clearly wish we would not extend the favor. He is wrong in indicating, without providing any evidence to support the proposition, that this very costly and highly improbable quest to be the first foreign power to successfully model life in Afghanistan would be connected with defeating the al-Qaida terrorists. As the president's top national security adviser has stated, there are fewer than 100 al-Qaida members left in Afghanistan and they have no capacity to launch attacks. These remnants of a foreign Arab force assembled by the U.S. to thwart the Soviets in their hapless effort to conquer Afghanistan are now alienated from the locally based insurgency. As Matthew Hoh, the former Marine captain and foreign service officer in charge of the most contested area, said recently in his letter of resignation, we have stumbled into a 35-year-long civil war between rural people "who want to be left alone" and a corrupt urban government that the U.S. insists on backing. Hoh, who quit after a decade of service in Iraq and Afghanistan, wrote that he was resigning not because of the hardships of his assignment but rather because he no longer believed in its stated purpose: " … [I]n the course of my five months of service in Afghanistan … I have lost understanding and confidence in the strategic purposes of the United States' presence in Afghanistan. … To put simply: I fail to see the value or the worth in continued U.S. casualties or expenditures of resources in support of the Afghan government in what is, truly, a 35-year old civil war. … Like the Soviets, we continue to secure and bolster a failing state, while encouraging an ideology and system of government unknown and unwanted by its people. … I have observed that the bulk of the insurgency fights not for the white banner of the Taliban, but rather against the presence of foreign soldiers and taxes imposed by an unrepresentative government in Kabul." Just how unrepresentative was amply demonstrated in a very low-turnout election which the U.S.-backed candidate, Hamid Karzai, won after stealing one-third of the ballots he claimed for his victory, according to U.N. observers. In a message of congratulation to Karzai, President Barack Obama made reference to the need for reform and an end to the corruption that is endemic in the Karzai regime but then stated, "Although the process was messy, I am pleased to say that the final outcome was determined in accordance with Afghan law, which I think is very important." What law? A runoff was avoided only when Karzai refused to accede to his opponent's demand for changes in the election commission that had stuffed the ballot boxes. When Bob Schieffer of CBS said of the election "the thing was a fraud," White House senior adviser David Axelrod had the arrogance to defend the rigged process as having "proceeded in the constitutional way." Just what is it we are telling the world about our belief in the integrity of elections? It is no different from our having extolled those garbage elections that occurred with great regularity in Vietnam during the war there, a point made to great effect by Hoh: "Our support for this kind of government, coupled with a misunderstanding of the insurgency's true nature, reminds me horribly of our involvement with South Vietnam; an unpopular and corrupt government we backed at the expense of our Nation's own internal peace, against an insurgency whose nationalism we arrogantly and ignorantly mistook as a rival to our own Cold War ideology." Obama must know the truth of those words and should heed them before he marches down the disastrous path pursued by another Democratic president, Lyndon Johnson—who, we now know from his White House telephone tapes, sacrificed the youth of this country in a war that he always knew never made sense.

By msgmi, November 4, 2009 at 6:07 pm Link to this comment It's tough to defend proxy-Karzai and have illusions that his central government is capable of providing security. The Soviets lasted 10-years before seeing the light that their proxyman had no capital.
By Fraser Tothus, November 4, 2009 at 2:52 pm Link to this comment "There is ...a huge tacit conspiracy between the U.S. government, its agencies and its multinational corporations, on the one hand, and local business and military cliques in the Third World, on the other, to assume complete control of these countries and "develop" them on a joint venture basis. The military leaders of the Third World were carefully nurtured by the U.S. security establishment to serve as the "enforcers" of this joint venture partnership, and they have been duly supplied with machine guns and the latest data on methods of interrogation of subversives."
By James Purrington, November 4, 2009 at 1:17 pm Link to this comment What is the mission of our military forces? Based upon our history that question is impossible to answer simply except that it is determined by the commander in chief (the president) with congressional approval for acts of war. Because wars must be declared by congress, other uses of the military are called "conflicts" or "police actions" Since our country was founded as colonies (Pre constitution) there have been ten wars and many more military conflicts, some of which have been by our own aggression or chosing. The Department of Defense use to be called The Department of War. The Korea, Viet Nam and Afghanstan 1 conflicts were really surrogate conflicts during the Cold War with Russia; and they were part of our US doctrine in fighting communism. These were very serious wars and should have been so classified instead of a military conflict. They all lasted for years. (In the Afghan 1 war between the USSR and the Afghan Taliban, we supported the Taliban with weapons, MI and advisors only. Osama bin Laden fought with the Taliban and after the disintegration of the USSR, The Cold War was over Russia had withdrawn from Afghanistan and al Qaida was formed by Osamaa bin Laden.) Osama bin Laden was part of the several royal families in Saudi Arabia who are members of the extreme militant Wahabbi sect of the Muslim faith, which is dominant in Saudi Arabia and part of Pakistan. He established the al Qaida militant terrorist organizaton and a training camp in Afghanstan. During the Clinton years, al Qaida attacked several US Embassies. Clinton carved out a special intelligence organization to follow and track the al Qaida terrorists to insure that they did not hit the homeland. This organization was headed up by Richard Clarke and did a remarkable job by getting advance copies of the FBI and CIA field reports where he cut through the intelligence red tape and followed the terrorists, preventing the attack on the LA Airport and the New York Port. However, Clinton wanted to wipe out al Qaida once and for all and therefore had Richard Clarke's organization plan an attack on al Qaida in Afghanistan. al Qaida was operating in a known location and concentrated in a small area. Air bombings and a small combat force could easily wipe-out the organization at that time. That plan was completed early in December 2000, and the result of the election had not been decided. When Bush was declared President, Clinton had the new Bush administration briefed thoroughly and advised them to act quickly on the plan. Rice delayed any action and deferred to Dick Cheney who stated "We are not going to let the Clinton Administration tell us how to fight terrorists." Richard Clarke's organization was dissolved and therefore no special organization now was following the terrorist except the FBI and CIA who took forever to process the field reports. The plan was shelved by Cheney and was not resurrected until after 911. By that time al Qaida dispersed and the invasion of Afghanistan (using the Clinton plan) only forced al Qaida into the mountains out of reach of the military and the military equiptment we had there. During the first Iraq War (or conflict) President George H W Bush had our forces invade Iraq because of Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kwait. It was a short war and the US quickly left there leaving Hussein's Army in tact with their weapons and equipment. He realized that Hussein and his army were important deterrants to Iran and needed to keep that balance in place. He also realized the conflict between the Shias, Sunnims and the Kurds. Without Hussein there would be civil war. A strong Baath party was needed to keep peace (word limit exceeded see next)
By C.G. Marxer, November 4, 2009 at 12:04 pm Link to this comment Give Axelrod a break. The administration can truthfully say that the Afghan election had as much integrity as our own do.
By hark, November 4, 2009 at 8:19 am Link to this comment Obama and the Democrats have been checkmated into escalating this conflict because to do otherwise would be seen as their being "weak on national security," and they would get clobbered in the elections. Imagine if Obama declared this "war" as the fraud it is, withdrew our troops, and then we suffered some kind of terrorist attack. It would be all over for the Democrats for a generation. They simply cannot, and will not, take that risk. The odds are overwhelming that someday we will get hit again no matter what we do to prevent it.

The programmer day is celebrated on the 256th (0x100th) day of each year (September 13 during common years and on September 12 on leap years). The number 256 (28) was chosen because it is the number of distinct values that can be represented with an eight-bit byte
This particular day was proposed by Valentin Balt, an employee of Parallel Technologies web design company. As early as 2002 he tried to gather signatures for a petition to the Government of Russia to recognize the day as the official programmers' day.On July 24, 2009, the Ministry of Mass Communications of Russia issued a draft of an executive order on a new professional holiday, Programmers' Day. On September 11, 2009, President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev signed the decree.
So, this is a happy day for all the programmers, because in a non-official way, this day is celebrated around the world, so you can go and celebrate, or (the most real option) is to keep working on your desk and just change your msn title :D

Bonds In Range
S&P MARKETSCOPE: Treasury futures were trading in a modest range even though stocks were skidding on Tuesday. The market had been battered since Greenspan last Wednesday it found that the "unanticipated behavior of world bond markets remains a conundrum". The Bank of England's chief economist Bean said it's "not obvious" why long rates are so low. Bean said uncertainty is an ever-present feature of the economic landscape and said policy ought to be set "very cautiously". The sterling came off its highs on the Bean comments. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was up to 4.29%, hitting a six-week high during the day.

"Look, Tom. I-"
"You don't have to say it, Kate. If you don't love me back, it's okay. I get it."
"No! Tom, it's not like that! I just-"
"You just what, Kate?"
"I don't want to say it if I don't mean it." He looked back over to the pool, which was glowing radiantly with all the colors of the lights on the trees. "I'm sorry." He glanced back over to me, smiling. His eyes were so beautiful in the moonlight. I don't know what compelled me to do it, but I kissed him. My eyes shut tight as I cupped his face with both of my hands. After awhile, I could feel him kissing back. A burst of fire returned in my throat, just as it did before. Only this time, it travelled all throughout my body. His hands gripped my waist, and he pulled me in closer. His tongue began to pry my mouth open, lusting for the taste of my own. We were so into it, and it was probably my fault. The only reason why I was kissed him was because I felt bad.... When Tom becomes enraged about the one thing he can't have, Kate refuses to give her virginity to him. With Tom in jail, Kate has the freedom to be with someone else. Little does she know that the guy she ends up with is Tom's best friend. The two plot revenge against Kate, planning to do the worst to her on prom night, which is also her birthday. But when Matthew, Tom's best friend, falls for Kate, he has no other choice but to fight to spare Kate from a horrible night in paradise that will scar her for the rest of her life.

First posted on Mark Is Cranky:
My favorite time of year has arrived in a big way. The air is crisp and clean. It's a little bit chilly in the morning, warm in the afternoon. It's tough to beat.
The other bit of fall, not really a part of my life anymore, was the start of a new semester at college. I sort of get to experience this vicariously through the step kids, but since they're sorta mute on the details (for instance, do they love the smell of their new books as much as I did? I doubt it) so I have to imagine what goes on.
What I remember about the start of my semesters was of course the book fetish, the music blaring from dorm rooms and the delicious possibilities inherent in all of that new information to be stuffed into my head. I've always been one of those lifelong learner types so even topics like macroeconomics got me going (economics majors, I meant that in the best possible way!).
My very first semester had one negative aspect that was tough to ignore. The change in culture from a 350-kid high school to a university campus with 15,000 students was, well…traumatic. Maybe if I hadn't been so painfully introverted the mental anguish would have been muted a little.
Well I'd be willing to bet that my shy nerd inner drama was nothing compared to what college kids from the New Orleans area have gone through. I'd been thinking about this for a few days until last night, when I listened to a quite moving story on my local public radio station. New Hampshire's NHPR runs a show called The Front Porch which features interviews of local folks. Last night's show had host Shay Zeller speaking with an administrator from Ringe, New Hampshire's Franklin Pierce College as well as two students who are temporary transfers from New Orleans area Dillard and Loyola universities. I hadn't heard about this but apparently Franklin Pierce has opened up twenty free slots for students displace by hurricane Katrina. Very nice. If you want to listen to the radio program just click right here.
So my question this morning is of course what music should accompany this bit of uplifting Katrina news? When we saw Southside Johnny last Saturday they dedicated "Better Days" to all of the folks involved (and a pile of money, via the buckets being passed around, was raised….nothing like appealing to the sentiments of a room fulla drunk people).
This Franklin Pierce story, in stark contrast to the mass of political ugliness that has recently clotted, gave me hope that maybe this country isn't as far gone as I'd begun to think. So….do kids from New Orleans know or even care about who the Meters and Dr. John are? I sure hope so. I also hope that they rebuild. Heck, I've never even been to New Orleans but I do know what it's all about. That culture is in peoples' heads and hearts. No amount of water can wash it away. At least not completely.
So it's "Iko Iko" and "Junko Partner" for the ride in and "Big Chief", "People Get Ready" and "Meters Jam" for the true start of the weekend.

RooBrew is hopping back into the market. The beer that tried to capitalize on Akron's kangaroo fetish — more on that later, in case you forgot — ceased production at the end of 2010.
But now RooBrew owners John Myers, Gordon Schorr and Barry Rosenbaum are reintroducing the brand and have a new distributor, the House of LaRose, which also carries Anheuser-Busch InBev and Yuengling products.
To refresh your memory, RooBrew splashed into the Akron market in 2008 around the height of Roo fever. At the time, the University of Akron's mascot Zippy, a kangaroo, was hot and Akron became "Roo Town." RooBrew isn't affiliated with the university, but its Litigation Lager label — say that a few times fast — features the UA school colors of navy and gold, and a kangaroo.
Long story short, it turns out RooBrew, made on contract at Thirsty Dog Brewing Co. in Akron, and its distributor didn't see eye to eye. RooBrew disappeared for legal reasons as Myers, Schorr and Rosenbaum looked for a different company to shepherd their brand. They selected House of LaRose.
"We were impressed with the knowledge of the folks in that company," Myers said.
Litigation Lager should be at or hitting select accounts soon in draft and bottles in the Akron area. (You can definitely find it at InfoCision Stadium where the UA football team plays.)
RooBrew also plans to branch out with seasonal beers in hopes of building its name recognition among craft beer drinkers. A maple syrup brown ale is scheduled to be released next month and it's working with Thirsty Dog on a Christmas ale, which will be available on draft only. The goal is to build the RooBrew brand locally before trying to expand to other areas, Myers said.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
There was a time not so long ago when intellectual property could be misused and the owners of that property never knew it. Facebook and Twitter changed all of that.
Today, trademark misuse that could damage a brand's reputation is still rampant, but brands have a much better chance of catching violations and stopping them before they do any harm. After all, trademark misuse doesn't only hurt the company that owns the brand and its intellectual property assets. It also hurts consumers.
In other words, trademark misuse is a marketing and legal concern but it's also an ethical problem. In today's world where corporate social responsibility (CSR) holds companies accountable for protecting not only profits but also the planet and people (i.e., employees, consumers, and the communities where they do business), responding to trademark misuse rises to a new level of importance for companies.
What should a company do to not only protect its intellectual property and related profits but also to protect consumers and communities as a good corporate citizen?
Case in Point
A recent occurrence of trademark misuse for Mojang's highly popular Minecraft video game brand, as well as the Red Bull, Nickelodeon, and Play N Trade brands, offers a perfect example. Here is the background (making a very long story short):
An event called Meeting of the Mines for Minecraft fans was scheduled to occur in Orlando, Florida in December 2013. Tickets were sold via a website that claimed, while not affiliated with Mojang, the event was a fan-inspired event for people who couldn't get tickets to Mojang's annual MineCon convention. Sponsors of the Meeting of the Mines event were identified on the website as Red Bull, Nickelodeon, and Play N Trade. The event website promised a long list of activities, prizes, and more. Customers could purchase tickets to attend on one of the two days of the event at $50 each.
The December event was postponed to March 22 and 23, 2014. When those dates arrived, what was delivered was not even close to what was marketed. The March 22nd event did not happen at all. When people who purchased tickets arrived at the venue listed on the website, the venue representative said the venue was never booked for that day.
Ticketholders for both the March 22 and 23 events were allowed entrance into the event on March 23rd. However, what they found when they arrived was shockingly different from what they paid for. Also, the all-day event they paid for abruptly closed down after just a couple of hours.
Attendees were promised refunds, but those refunds have yet to come. Vendors who were hired by the event organizer to offer services during the event, including a character entertainer, face painter, and balloon artist, were originally paid with checks that bounced. A child who spent months creating a costume in an effort to win the $1,000 costume contest prize was paid (after days of pursuit by the child's parent) with a check that the event organizer later put a stop payment on. Prizes marketed as game systems were replaced with boxes of generic ballpoint pens.
The vast majority of the 1,000+ tickets sold to the event were purchased by parents with children who are avid fans of Minecraft. Angry after seeing so many children extremely disappointed, attendees started a Meeting of the Mines Scam Facebook Group claiming the event was a scam. After several days of investigation, the evidence available to date certainly points to the fact that this was a scam.
A second Meeting of the Mines event was scheduled for the weekend of March 29 and 30, but the venue listed on the event website reported that its facilities had never been booked for the event. Angry ticketholders in New York have joined the Orlando ticketholders, and the story has been covered in both Orlando news and New York news reports. The strong community of Minecraft users has also joined the online conversation about the event with some of the most popular Minecraft YouTube Channels covering the story.
And where were the brands during all of these events? To Mojang's credit, one of its representatives joined the conversation in the Facebook Group shortly after it was created, and the founder of Minecraft, Markus Persson (known as Notch), weighed in with a Twitter post saying, "I'm incredibly sad about the scammy Minecraft convention, and we're taking it very seriously. If you got affected by it, I'm truly sorry." Play N Trade also joined the conversation in the Facebook Group shortly after it was created and in response, its Orlando franchise offered to host a local Minecraft event in the near future.
What Brands Should Do
What should you do if your brand assets are misused in a similar way as the brands linked to the Meeting of the Mines event were? Social media allows conversations about your brand to spread faster and wider than ever. Are you prepared to respond? Do you have a brand reputation disaster recovery plan in place?

Other views exist, and especially since Voltaire DID believe in God, and wrote about religious tolerance, my view is quite likely not to be what Voltaire intended.
So what DID Voltaire mean? A writing: The Three Impostors was written by an anonymous author. Voltaire found this a text that denied the existence of a divine being. He thought that it was an extremely dangerous work since it put into question the idea that criminals would be punished in the afterlife. This was an idea that he thought was very important for society.
He wrote the author a poem in 1768. In this poem, Voltaire develops the idea that the existence of God (or the belief therein) helps establish social order. He then goes on to boast of his own role in eliminating prejudice and injustice. And finally, Voltaire goes on to deride some of his enemies.
Here it is, in its entirety. Hopefully, it will help bring to light Voltaire's meaning, and also give a glimpse of his personality and philosphy.
"Epistle to the author of the book, The Three Impostors".
Insipid writer, you pretend to draw for your readers The portraits of your 3 impostors; How is it that, witlessly, you have become the fourth? Why, poor enemy of the supreme essence, Do you confuse Mohammed and the Creator, And the deeds of man with God, his author?... Criticize the servant, but respect the master. God should not suffer for the stupidity of the priest: Let us recognize this God, although he is poorly served.
My lodging is filled with lizards and rats; But the architect exists, and anyone who denies it Is touched with madness under the guise of wisdom. Consult Zoroaster, and Minos, and Solon, And the martyr Socrates, and the great Cicero: They all adored a master, a judge, a father. This sublime system is necessary to man. It is the sacred tie that binds society, The first foundation of holy equity, The bridle to the wicked, the hope of the just.
If the heavens, stripped of his noble imprint, Could ever cease to attest to his being, If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. Let the wise man announce him and kings fear him. Kings, if you oppress me, if your eminencies disdain The tears of the innocent that you cause to flow, My avenger is in the heavens: learn to tremble. Such, at least, is the fruit of a useful creed.
But you, faulty logician, whose sad foolishness Dares to reassure them in the path of crime, What fruit do you expect to reap from your fine arguments? Will your children be more obedient to your voice? Your friends, at time of need, more useful and reliable? Your wife more honest? and your new renter, For not believing in God, will he pay you better? Alas! let's leave intact human belief in fear and hope.
In vain you raise as an objection to me the hypocritical insolence Of these proud charlatans promoted to high honors, Nourished by our work, quenched by our tears; Of these Caesars tainted by their usurped grandeur; A priest on the Capitoline hill where Pompea triumphed; Of these wretches in sandals, the excrement of humanity, Soaking there detestable hands in our blood; At the sound of their voice a hundred towns are covered in ruins, And the horrible matins of bloodied Paris: I know these awful monuments better than you; I have unmasked them with my pen for the past fifty years. But, as the fearsome enemy of this fanaticism, I have also celebrated God when the devil was vanquished. I always distinguished between religion And the misery bred of superstition. Europe has thanked me; twenty crowned heads Have deigned to applaud the fortunate labors of my nights, While Patouillet was insulting me in vain. I have done more in my time than Luther and Calvin. They were seen opposing, in a fatal error, Abuses with abuses, scandal with scandal. Eager to throw themselves amidst the factions, They condemned the Pope and wanted to imitate him. Europe was long desolated by them all; They troubled the earth, and I have consoled it. I have told the disputants, hounding one another: "Cease, impertinent ones, cease, unfortunate ones; Foolish children of God, cherish yourselves in your brothers, And stop biting one another for absurd chimeras." Good people have believed me: the evil ones, crushed, Have hurled cries that are scorned by the wise man; And in Europe, finally, happy toleration Has become the catechism of all well made souls.
I see from afar that era coming, those happy days, When philosophy, enlightening humanity, Must lead them in peace to the feet of the common master; Frightful fanaticism will tremble to appear there: There will be less dogma with more virtue.
If someone wants to assume an official position, He will no longer bring along two witnesses 2 To testify to his beliefs; rather they will swear to his good conduct.
A Huguenot lover will be able to marry The attractive sister of an important cleric; We will see poverty clothed and nourished With the treasures of the Loretto, amassed for Mary; The children of Sarah, whom we treat like dogs, Will eat ham that has been cured by Christians. The Turk, without asking whether the imam will pardon him, Will go drink with the abbé Tamponet at the Sorbonne. 3 My nephews will dine gaily and with no ill will With the descendants of the Pompignan brothers; They will be able to pardon this harsh La Blétrie 4 For having cut short the course of my life. We will see a reunion of the finest minds: But who will ever be able to bear dining with Fréron?
Voltaire's Notes 1 This book of the Three Imposters is a very dangerous work, full of coarse atheism, without wit and devoid of philosophy. 2 In France, in order to be accepted as procurer, notary, clerk, one needs two witnesses who confirm the Catholicism of the recipient. 3 Tamponet was, in fact, a doctor at the Sorbonne. 4 La Bletterie, as I have been told, has stated in print that I have forgotten to have myself buried.

Retail traders just starting out in the forex market are often unprepared for what lies ahead and, as such, end up undergoing the same life cycle: first they dive in head first - usually losing their first account - and then they either give up, or they take a step back and do a little more research and open a demo account to practice. Those who do this will often eventually open another live account, and experience a little more success - breaking even or turning a profit. To help avoid the losses from hastily diving into forex trading, this article will introduce you to a framework for a medium-term forex trading system to get you started on the right foot, help you save money and ultimately become a profitable retail forex trader.
Why Medium Term?
So, why are we focusing on medium-term forex trading? Why not long-term or short-term strategies? To answer that question, let's take a look at the following comparison table:
Type of Trader | Definition | Good Points | Bad Points |
Short-Term (Scalper) | A trader who looks to open and close a trade within minutes, often taking advantage of small price movements with a large amount of leverage. | Quick realization of profits or losses due to the rapid-fire nature of this type of trading. | Large capital and/or risk requirements due to the large amount of leverage needed to profit from such small movements. |
Medium-Term | A trader typically looking to hold positions for one or more days, often taking advantage of opportunistic technical situations. | Lowest capital requirements of the three because leverage is necessary only to boost profits. | Fewer opportunities because these types of trades are more difficult to find and execute. |
Long-Term | A trader looking to hold positions for months or years, often basing decisions on long-term fundamental factors. | More reliable long-run profits because this depends on reliable fundamental factors. | Large capital requirements to cover volatile movements against any open position. |
Now, you will notice that both short-term and long-term traders require a large amount of capital - the first type needs it to generate enough leverage, and the second relies on it to cover volatility. Although these two types of traders exist in the marketplace, they are often high-net-worth individuals or larger funds. For these reasons, retail traders are most likely to succeed using a medium-term strategy.
The Basic Framework
The framework of the strategy covered in this section will focus on one central concept: trading with the odds. To do this, we will look at a variety of techniques in multiple time frames to determine whether a given trade is worth taking. Keep in mind, however, that this is not a mechanical/automatic trading system; rather, it is a system by which you will receive technical input and make a decision based upon it. The key is finding situations where all (or most) of the technical signals point in the same direction. These high-probability trading situations will, in turn, generally be profitable.
Chart Creation and Markup
Selecting a Trading Program
We will be using a free program called MetaTrader to illustrate this trading strategy; however, many other similar programs can also be used that will yield the same results. There are two basic things the trading program must have:
- the ability to display three different time frames simultaneously
- the ability to plot technical indicators, such as moving averages (EMA and SMA), relative strength index (RSI), stochastics and moving average convergence divergence (MACD)
Setting up the Indicators
Now we will look at how to set up this strategy in your chosen trading program. We will also define a collection of technical indicators with rules associated with them. These technical indicators are used as a filter for your trades.
If you choose to use more indicators than shown here, you will create a more reliable system that will generate fewer trading opportunities. Conversely, if you choose to use fewer indicators than shown here, you will create a less-reliable system that will generate more trading opportunities. Here are the settings that we will use for this article:
- Minute-by-minute candlestick chart
- stochastics (15,3,3)
- MACD (Default)
- Hourly candlestick chart
- MACD (Default)
- Daily candlestick chart
Adding in Other Studies
Now you will want to incorporate the use of some of the more subjective studies, such as:
- significant trendlines that you see in any of the time frames
- Fibonacci retracements, arcs or fans that you see in the hourly or daily charts
- support or resistance that you see in any of the time frames
- pivot points calculated from the previous day to the hourly and minutely charts
- chart patterns that you see in any of the time frames
In the end, your screen should look something like this:
Finding Entry and Exit Points
The key to finding entry points is to look for times in which all of the indicators point in the same direction. Moreover, the signals of each time frame should support the timing and direction of the trade. There are a few particular instances that you should look for:
- Bullish candlestick engulfings or other formations
- Trendline/channel breakouts upwards
- Positive divergences in RSI, stochastics and MACD
- Moving average crossovers (shorter crossing over longer)
- Strong, close support and weak, distant resistance
- Bearish candlestick engulfings or other formations
- Trendline/channel breakouts downwards
- Negative divergences in RSI, stochastics and MACD
- Moving average crossovers (shorter crossing under longer)
- Strong, close resistance and weak, distant support
It is a good idea to place exit points (both stop losses and take profits) before even placing the trade. These points should be placed at key levels and modified only if there is a change in the premise for your trade (oftentimes as a result of fundamentals coming into play). You can place these exit points at key levels, including:
- Just before areas of strong support or resistance
- At key Fibonacci levels (retracements, fans or arcs)
- Just inside of key trendlines or channels
Let's take a look at a couple of examples of individual charts using a combination of indicators to locate specific entry and exit points. Again, make sure any trades that you intend to place are supported in all three time frames.
Here you can see that a number of indicators are pointing in the same direction. There is a bearish head-and-shoulders pattern, a MACD, Fibonacci resistance and bearish EMA crossover (five- and 10-day). We also see that a Fibonacci support provides a nice exit point. This trade is good for 50 pips, and takes place over less than two days.
Here we can see many indicators that point to a long position. We have a bullish engulfing, a Fibonacci support and a 100-day SMA support. Again, we see a Fibonacci resistance level that provides an excellent exit point. This trade is good for almost 200 pips in only a few weeks. Note that we could break this trade into smaller trades on the hourly chart.
Money Management and Risk
Money management is key to success in any marketplace but particularly for the forex market, which is one of the most volatile markets to trade. Many times fundamental factors can send currency rates swinging in one direction only to whipsaw into another in mere minutes. So, it is important to limit your downside by always utilizing stop-loss points and trading only when good opportunities arise. (For more on money management in trading, see Losing To Win.)
Here are a few specific ways in which you can limit risk:
- Increase the amount of indicators that you are using. This will result in a harsher filter through which your trades are screened. Note that this will result in fewer opportunities.
- Place stop-loss points at the closest resistance levels. Note that this may result in forfeited gains.
- Use trailing stop losses to lock in profits and limit losses when you trade turns favorable. Note, however, that this may also result in forfeited gains.
Anyone can make money in the forex market, but it requires patience and a well-defined strategy. This article is a framework from which you can build your own unique, profitable trading system using indicators with which you feel comfortable.

Saints owner Tom Benson to become sole owner of New Orleans Hornets
Saints owner Tom Benson is the new owner of the New Orleans Hornets. (Getty Images) |
Update: The Saints have publicly announced that Tom Benson is the new owner of the New Orleans Hornets:
The Associated Press reports official statements from Benson and NBA commissioner David Stern on Friday.We are thrilled to announce & confirm Tom Benson as the new owner of the New Orleans @Hornets!
— New Orleans Saints (@Saints) April 13, 2012
"We expect this club to be one of the most outstanding clubs in the league, otherwise I don't want to get involved," Benson said. "This is just a good thing and I'm just glad to be a part of it."
"The city is one of the country's treasures and we really have found the perfect owner," Commissioner David Stern said. "Our goal all along has been to get the Hornets bought by somebody whose commitment to New Orleans would be unrivaled."
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson is set to become the majority owner of the New Orleans Hornets Friday, pending approval by the NBA Board of Governors. From the Picayune:
All signs are pointing to Benson becoming the owner, and he will own 100 percent of the team, he won't be part of an ownership group.
Benson initially put in a bid for the franchise earlier this year, but later backed away because of the asking price.
via Tom Benson is expected to be the new owner of the New Orleans Hornets | NOLA.com.
Benson taking over the team is a win-win situation. It keeps the team in New Orleans under stable ownership, the league's priority since the start, and helps Benson's PR with the ongoing bounty-gate revelations that have rocked the Saints in the past month. It means an end to a tumultuous two-year period for the Hornets which saw former owner George Shinn essentially give up on the team, selling it to the league, who unhappily took over contol.
TNT's David Aldridge reports that the sale is for $338 million.
Hornets to be sold for $338M to Saints owner Tom Benson, per source. Story up soon on NBA.com.
— David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) April 13, 2012
Under the league's ownership, the team had a prospective trade for Chris Paul vetoed by David Stern acting as owner of the Hornets, then did send Paul to the Clippers in a trade that netted Eric Gordon who went on to miss most of the year with injury. The team has played hard in the interim but without considerable talent, has ammassed the second worst record in the NBA.
With Benson taking over, the Hornets have stable ownership for the first time in their time in New Orleans. It's time for the organization to move on.
The NFL does have a stipulation that its owership can not own an NBA team in another NFL market, but as this is the same market, the stipulation does not apply. Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke has been forced to relinquish operating control of the Nuggets due to his purchase of the St. Louis Rams.
The AP notes that once the sale is finalized and approved there will be additional work to be done on an arena lease.
While preparing the team for sale the league negotiated a new lease for the Hornets to remain in the state-owned New Orleans Arena through 2024.After more than a year of uncertainty, though, Friday marks a momentous day in the history of the Hornets franchise.
The framework of ownership negotiations were handled in a way that a new Hornets owner would have to accept the lease worked out between the NBA and Gov. Bobby Jindal. The lease agreement also called for $50 million in improvements to the basketball stadium, which sits right across the street from the Superdome.
Once the NBA approves the sale of the team to Benson, the next step is for the state Legislature to approve the arena lease deal because of the funding needed for stadium improvements. But legislative leaders already have publicly voiced support for the proposed lease deal, which would take effect in July.

KB has been promoting this past few weeks the KB Toy Club where you get a stamp on a card for buying $25 or more (bonus 1 stamp when you join in). When you get 4 stamps (or the equivalent of $75 sales), then you can get 20% off whatever your next purchase with certain exclusions (like video games, etc).
Since I was able to find the latest wave from one store, I figured might as well join in and got four stamps in the process. Now I've just gotten back from the same store and I found that all of the SW figures have been taken off the shelf!
I've heard all about what the other stores have been doing about clearing away the old Saga toys to make way for the newer waves and in some cases the prices were being lowered. So I asked one of the salesperson about it and she said that all the SW toys were being retagged. Thoughts of finally getting those extra army builders on sale and with the additional 20% off the toy club card were racing through my mind. :happy:
That was until she showed the new price tags of $5.49 from the previous $4.99! What the $#@&* is going on? Then I saw the boxes behind the counter still with the old $4.99 price tags! I was about to get some of the army builders for the old price (plus 20% off the Toy Club card) but I was stopped and she said that they're all $5.49 now!
I certainly gave her a piece of my mind and I'm not about to make any more purchases from that store or from any other KB store if they're doing the same thing. Almost forgot that the other salespersons are busy going around the store putting on new price tags on other toys! I looked at a few and the prices were certainly going up as well!
Don't buy from KB stores coz their Toy Club is just a big scam!
