The St. Louis Fed president says Fed policymakers could vote to start tapering bond purchases at their next meeting if they see stronger economic data by then.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A voting member of the Federal Reserve says the Fed could start to reduce its bond purchases as early as the next meeting in October, if the economy shows improvement.
James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, told Bloomberg television Friday that it was a "close decision" not to slow the $85-billion-a-month in bond buying at the Sept. 17-18 meeting. He said stronger data before the Oct. 29-30 meeting could make Fed officials "comfortable with a small taper in October."
The bond purchases are intended to keep long-term interest rates low, encouraging more borrowing, spending and growth.
Bullard also noted that not having a news conference scheduled next month doesn't represent an obstacle to Fed action at the October meeting. The Fed could easily schedule one, if it felt it needed to explain a decision — such as voting to reduce the purchases.
In a separate interview later Friday with Fox Business, Bullard stressed that he was not predicting that the Fed would move to cut bond purchases at its October meeting. He said that it could happen if the data shows the economy has strengthened. But he said an argument could also be made that the Fed panel will not have that much additional information by then to change its mind.
Bullard rejected criticism that the Fed's action to delay a move in September had confused markets.
"We said it was a data dependent decision. It turned out to be a data dependent decision," Bullard told Fox Business.
Bullard also gave a speech Friday in New York in which he said the Fed's action this week shows its basing its decision on incoming data, not a set schedule.
During the speech, Bullard noted that financial markets have reacted sharply to the Fed's comments about the bond purchases, showing critics are wrong that the Fed is having little impact. Stocks plunged after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated in June that the Fed could slow them later this year, if the economy improved. And when the Fed surprised investors this week by not acting, the stock market rallied and hit new highs on Wednesday.

What should I do if my file says its empty/damaged/corrupt/password protected?
Download errors are fairly common, particularly when downloading larger files. Many times they do not appear until you try to unzip your file. This does not mean that the actual file is bad, but rather, that it did not download completely or correctly to your computer. Often times, even when it has appeared to have downloaded successfully, it may not have.Before you try again, delete any partially downloaded or corrupted files from your computer (empty your recycling bin too) or your computer will identify that it already has the file and will continue using the original corrupted one. Download only one (1) file at a time. Most times, this will solve the problem. However, if you are still unable to obtain a working file, please clear your temporary internet files and delete any partially or corrupted files before trying again. Save your file to a different location on your computer in order to force your Internet Service Provider to give you a new file. Otherwise, they may try to give you the same corrupt download in order to save bandwidth and space.
Why should I delete a corrupt/empty file before I download again?
Your computer may cache (save) the download information. If you do not delete the file completely (from your recycling bin too), you will likely get the same corrupted file again.
I have tried to download my file(s) several times and it still won't work?
Delete any partially downloaded or corrupted files from your computer (empty your recycling bin too), clear your temporary internet files and reboot your computer. Download your file(s) again but save to a different location. This prevents your Internet Service Provider from caching (saving) your download and giving you the same corrupt file in order to save bandwidth and space.
My computer/EHD crashed; can you reset my entire order history?
ORDERS OLDER THAN 4 MONTHS from the day you contact us to report the issue will not be reset. This courtesy is only available to paying customers, meaning you must have at least one paid order within the time frame that you require a reset in order to receive one. You are responsible for backing up your files and we strongly suggest that you do so regularly. Please be sure to unzip and check your files once downloaded to ensure that they have transferred to your computer correctly. Please

Will Crawford or Harrington be playing tonight, with the trade? Wonder what D'antoni is going to do with the lineups.
Will Crawford or Harrington be playing tonight, with the trade? Wonder what D'antoni is going to do with the lineups.
Chandler is playing too well right now not to be a starter
And no way will it be done for tonight i don't think..it's not even "official" yet, won't be for few days till players play
im watching this game with my mate who supports the Bucks, reckon we will **** it in.
Bogut can get farked lol.
no.. Harington won't be available tomorrow neither
his first game, as well as Tim Thomas and Cuttino should be against Cleveland on Tuesday, which I'll see on NBATV!!!!
New starting Five on Tuesday:
C - Harrington
PF - Chandler
SF - QRich (DAntoni is sticking with his sorry ass)
SG - Mobley
PG - Duhon
Lee 1st big off the bench, Nate 1st guard off the bench. Thomas off the bench for Chandler or QRich.
Tonight, Steph will be in uniform but still will not see a minute.
I'd be really surprised if DAntoni uses him.
desde la cuna del chango
This game could go either way, but I'm going to go with the Bucks. As much as I want the Knicks to win, Chris Duhon and Quentin Richardson are not going to be able to make up for their loss of offense at the shooting guard spot. Wilson Chandler, Zach Randolph, David Lee, and Nate Robinson are going to really have to pick it up, if the Knicks are going to come out with a win.
My prediction: Bucks win, 96-86
Jeremon Linbury
Z-Bo and Mardy Collins have officially been traded to the Clippers for Mobley and Thomas. We'll probably lose this game since we won't have our 2 top scorers. Although, with 3 of our players not playing because of the trade, Marbury might have to play. He might help us offensively.
i could care less if we lose every game the rest of the season, Donnie Walsh did his job.
JPZ 17, don't worry if people compare your threads to MSG's. You and MSGKnickz33 are the best thread makers on the site. You should take it as a complement. There's people on here, like Unrealistic and LJ4playgay, that claim my posts are the same as metrocard and MSG's. I just take it as a complement, because I know they're top posters.
Jeremon Linbury
Honestly...i think this game thread is just as good as the ones i was makin last year, that took me 2 hours to make. I think there 2 different styles...yours looks better and has more pics. Mine has more analysis...i dont think one is better then the other, i like both styles and its nice to have a change. But overall this game thread is as good as they get. Good work jpz
Chandler is going to get more offense and a bigger load on offense with the trades especially in tonights game he's our first option 2day
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Yeah, I think Chandler could handle it, though. He already was averaging 14 points per game, with Crawford and Randolph, so imagine without them? I expect Chandler's points per game to go up to at least 17. Even though I don't like either trade, I was a fan of Tim Thomas when he was on the Knicks, and I've always been a fan of Al Harrington. I look forward to seeing them play in a Knick uniform.

If Aylen wins the fight, the player controlling Aylen will win 5 Life points at the end of the round.
The Ability of Skeelz can not be blocked while the Protection: Ability Bonus is activated.
Caelus's Student Reveiw Log: Student 209 Aylen Aylen has always been a studious girl, and she has on several occasions irritated Professor Anton by lecturing him on physics. But her power lies not in her fantasic mind, but also in her ability to make as many copies of herself as she pleases. At first, she could only muster about one or two at a time, but after several months of hard work, she has finally brought herself to summon as much as seven at a time. Strangely, one always happens to be following Tomas around... in a way so that Tomas isn't aware of it. At first I beleived this was to keep an eye on him to make sure he stayed out of danger, but when her best freind Jay was missing a follower, I begin to think of other reasons.... She must be trying to figure out how he summoned that demon! That's completely off point however. Ayleen has proven to be a very good student, and I hope one day she will continue to stay at Skeelz as a teacher. Perhaps when Anton finally snaps in a few years? Caelus, Headmaster of Skeelz Academy
Aylen - 7/5 with +5 life (ability) and Protection: Ability (bonus) - Very decent 7 power which enables this card to win quite then umber of fights - But her main advantage is the massive gap that this card can produce. 5 damage + 5 life = gap of 10. And then if you factor in fury, 12. That is quite a hole created that is very tough to climb out of. - In addition, her gap-greating ability is here to stay, thanks to her bonus. - Incredible artwork. Love it! - However, her 7 power is quite low for a 5-star. - Well, not reallyish, but low for a clan that has no attack or power modifications. She will have a hard time against those Blaasters and Fabios - Overall: 7/10. Being the only 5* Skeelz givens Aylen quite the monopoly. While she is a decent card, with decent power and a great ability, her lack of attack support is definatly a turn-off. Still, she is very useable, so give her a go!
rate green if you want to divide yourself like Aylen
anyone else misssing her final picture
I have to admit, I've rarely found Aylen to be a gamebreaker, surprisingly, and most of the reviews for her are mediocre. I'll tell you where the one weakness lies, and it's not in the seven Power--she's got enough firepower in her teammates to keep your opponents' pillz down. Her downfall is that she is not MORE dependent upon her ability. 5 Damage is kind of a cruddy number when you're specialty is +X Life, meaning you do well against damage reducers. Her ability is nearly guaranteed, and, yet, against Wolfgang, Soshee, Uranus, TrinmkkT, and tons of others, they still get to utilize almost all of their reducing abilities. Against those like Redra, Pegh, and Veenyle, and yet another host of others will get to utilize their WHOLE reducing abilities against Aylen... doh! Plus, she has trouble two hit K.O.'ing with many of her high damage teammates, meaning the fight will last, which makes pillz-burning for the win with her that much more risky. Still... even against Uranus, the life gap is 6, equal to Tomas, so that says something about her ability. Still, a natural 10 life gap is nothing to sneeze at; I think she could kick some butt in Type II, where Tomas and Caelus won't completely overshadow her so much. I still think she's a great five star pick, though, for the record, in the right deck.
With the release of Xingshu, I believe Aylen has potential as the next Skeelz Cr.
Aylen Power: 7 Damage: 5 Ability: +5 Life Bonus: Protection from SOA + With Aylen's ability she can create a life gap of 10, with is hard to over come by its self. + When faced with damage reducers she can still create a life gap of 6 which not a lot of cards can do. + The skeels bonus is amazing cause of 5 cards sypce, Dieter, Leviatonn, Glorg, Shakra can stop her ability. (not including crap cards that players dont use). + When facing a deck with low damage she can decide the entire match by herself, use fury and create that life gap of 12 and sit back and watch ur opponent struggle to beat you. - Aylen's power of 7 isnt that much. From a 5** general you are looking for at least 8. Its going to be hard to over come attack modifying clans like i have been saying for all of the skeels. - 5** means with the low power means its going to be hard to get her to win, might have to pill 2-3 more than your opponent. - Aylen's 5 damage is pretty good but lets face it, every one wants to have at least 6 damage so half of your opponent's life is gone. 7/10 I personally dont like a 7 powered 5** card and especially dont like her being 7 power and 5 damage. But the skeels bonus and her ability is awesome so thats why i rated it as high as i did.
again im hear to clear things up 7 power is not shabby atall, 7 power is the average for all 5 and 4 stars, 7/5 is the average for most 5's and all 4's when i look at a card i dont look for 8 power i look for useability and flexability both are more important than raw power, the ability is great, and cant be stopped easily, look at Jungo, they have 7 powered cards that are great and they dont have a battle ready bonus do they. this is a great card and deserves a place in a deck
@meneerbig What you forget to take into account is the support abilities of her teammates. Sasha will only be +12 attack and Sandro will only get +3 Power. Aylen can be used in half decks, where Bridget is only good with mono-clan. 1 power, 4 attack and +1 life in exchange for a more secure ability is a big investment.
Aylen ( Possibly Hermione Granger (Harry Potter) or Triplicate Girl (Legion of Super Heroes) or both!! 7/5 (7 with Fury) Advantages: > 7 Power is average and good for a 5* > 5 Damage is also great, inspite of her ability > Ability: +5 Life, if you successfully land the hit, you create a 10 life gap between you and your opponent unless they're K.O >Protection: ensures her remarkable healing ability to stay Disadvantages: > 5* is Hefty for ELO > Competition within the clan > All Stops would diminish this gifted card as the +5 life is the best bit Conclusion: (7/10) Good when used in ELO, as a 10 life gap is hard to climb out of, especially if you have many damage reducers Moreover, she's a great bluffer as opponents might try to tackle the +5 life, leading to over pilling; but that's just hypothetically speaking.
Aylen is a reference to Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter Series, and being more specific Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where (SPOILER ALERT) she uses a device called a Time-Turner to send her back in time to do her many lessons at Hogwarts hence putting her in 2 places at once(DUPLICATING YOURSELF). She received it becauce she did many classes due to her being very hard working.
Wats' casual reviews Aylen...cheap housework help, or extra love buddies + - Massive life gap potential - Can win games in one round (especially if Dr's are your other cards!) -- - Unsupported 7 power=easily beatable - Dr's still do a load of hurt to Aylen....her specialty should be against DR's with her life manip but cards like Arno/Melvin still get their full reduction offf against her Overall? I occasionally use this card but not often...shes easily beatable and eats through way too many of your pillz. Theres one game in 100 that she would have been invaluable but they're pretty small odds.. 7/10
rate if u want a miss Aylen 2012 or even Aylen cr
Its Clearly Velma from Scooby Doo. She does all of the work hence the copies.
i got good deal on this i got it for free

I jailbroke mine 5 mins after buying it. Did it in her car on the way home. I won't upgrade it till a jailbreak is released for that firmware. Jailbreaking it is the way it should be in the first place. Without jailbreak you are missing out on it's full potential.
I'm currently on 3.2.2 and as far as I am concerned there is no jailbreak. When there is one I will jailbreak but by the time it's released iOS 4 will be available. Hopefully you can jailbreak that firmware.
After reading many of the posts in the Hacking section, this does not exactly inspire me to say, "Wow, I just gotta jailbreak my iPad!"
No, a real fanboy finds ways around the annoyances and limitations...and if he can't, he convinces himself that it is better that way anyhow.

Born and raised Irish Catholic. Went to church every Sunday and holy day. Attended catholic high school. Made all the sacraments. Relied on my higher power to get me through the rough spots in my life. Called it God. But I never fully understood what it all meant. It was a learned behavior, my religion. It wasn't anything I actually chose for myself. Instead I was told that I was Catholic and this is what you do. It wasn't something you challenged; it was a given. For me, I accepted my religion for most of my younger life. Accepted it, but did I believe it? I began to question what my religion was all about and I was no longer convinced that this was the only option. I began to see a difference between organized religion and spirituality. So I dabbled with my beliefs and relied on God for some things and not others. But I also began to behold the power of humanity.
At some point, I came to believe that my "faith" was in me and the beauty around me, which included kind people and a sense of community. I believed then (and now) that our spirituality was a work in progress that we alter along the way as we grow, facing difficult challenges as well as experiencing beauty and grace. (Also I believed, and still do, that faith is a personal choice. Everyone should be free to believe as they see fit for themselves, not condemned for what they believe. There should be no judgment, no criticism, no penalty for what you believe.).
Then I had the most amazing experience of my life; bringing our first child into this world. The awe and joy and unimaginable elation that she brought to us were emotionally overwhelming. At the time, her birth all but confirmed my belief that nature is glorious and that something or someone incredible let this beauty unfold before our eyes. Maybe it is God, I thought then. Maybe there is this amazing Higher Power who wants to bring us only joy and loves us unconditionally. That's what I was told to believe years ago. Maybe it's true after all. I didn't fall back into my religious upbringing. I wasn't born-again. I was just pleased and somewhat relieved that the possibility of this God might exist after all.
Eight years later, we lost our daughter. She died suddenly and unexpectedly. What had come to us so beautifully was taken from us so violently. She has a little sister. She had her friends and cousins and aunts and uncles. She has her whole beautiful life ahead of her. Do not tell me that "God must have a plan" or that "God has his reasons" or that "God will reveal it to you" or that "God needed another angel". If there is a God, why would he/she/it inflict such pain? Why would he/she/it destroy a life? This implies that God took her life. What hypocrisy. What rubbish. How could such an entity do both? That is utter cruelty in its purest sense. There cannot be a power on this earth that could do such as thing. There cannot be a God for me.
I don't follow any particular religion. I don't go to church. I don't go to synagogue. I don't visit the mosque. I don't have to believe in God. But there are some spiritual elements to my thinking; I continue to be awed by the complexities of our vast universe and all its elements, in particular humankind.
What I have seen and heard and felt over these past two years reinforces my belief in the human spirit and its power. I believe in inner strength and the ability to exist solely for another. I believe there are human beings who strive to do the right thing, who try to look out for others and offer compassion and love. I believe that we are here to help one another. I believe life and death are natural elements to our life cycle and that sometimes that cycle is cut short. I don't have to like it or understand it. I don't have to accept it. But I have to live with it. Together, we can help each other live with it.

My favorite is a very lightweight "dry" poly/cotton blend for $69.90 (also available in a heather grey & a light grey). Also saw a 100% cotton, wool & linen blazers. They are all very slim fit with no/minimal shoulder padding & would go with virtually anything.

Double the chance that your checked bags arrive at the correct airport by attaching your own destination airport code luggage tag. AdvertisementThe easy and cheap way to do this is to attach a label with the the destination airport code to an old plastic membership card, punch a hole in the corner, and attach that to your luggage handle with a zip tie or keyring. Go ahead and make return labels and add them to your toiletries pouch—when you pack up to return to the airport, take the old label off and add the new one.This way even if the airport's luggage tag is ripped off airline staff can route your bag to the correct airport which will make reclaiming the bag a much easier and quicker prospect.Make sure to check out additional tips to prevent losing your luggage as well as Melanie's post on using a four-wheeler suitcase to avoid damage to your belongings.

Former Mississippi State football coach Murray Warmath has died, the Associated Press has reported.
Warmath, 98, coached the Bulldogs for the 1952 and '53 seasons, compiling a 10-6-3 record. He then went on to coach at Minnesota from 1954-71, winning a national championship in 1960 and leading the Gophers to two Rose Bowls.
I did a story on Warmath in January. And here's a story today from the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Warmath was a hard-nosed, often gruff coach who commanded the respect of his players and assistant coaches.
"There's no doubt that he was in charge, and he's one of those that he didn't mind that the buck stopped with him," former MSU player Bobby Collins said. "There's no doubt about it."
Warmath, who died Wednesday night in Bloomington, Minn., was a beloved figure in the University of Minnesota community. The Gophers' locker room is named after him.
The Humboldt, Tenn., native was a game-changer of sorts in another way: He was the first Minnesota coach to start a black quarterback, Sandy Stephens, and was one of the first coaches in the country to heavily recruit black athletes.
"If Minnesota let Sandy Stephens play quarterback, then we knew we could trust Murray," former tackle Ezell Jones told the AP. "We knew that was a man who had a great deal of courage and character."
Warmath, who played at Tennessee under Robert Neyland, was also an assistant coach at MSU from 1939-42.
Look for more on Warmath in Friday's Daily Journal.

Champaign is located 135 miles south of Chicago, 124 miles west of Indianapolis and 178 miles northeast of St. Louis. It has a population of 75,254 and is considered to be the hub of the Silicon Prairie. It is the home of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Champaign was founded in 1855. The city has 58 parks and is home to many corporations, including Kraft Foods, Intel and Yahoo. On September 22, 1985, Champaign hosted the first Farm Aid concert at the University of Illinois Memorial Stadium. The concert raised $7 million dollars for struggling American family farmers and was attended by 80,000 people. Champaign continues to experience growth, and as a result, has been affected by the drug trafficking into the state.
Illinois has always been a hub for drug traffickers because of its unique location. Chicago's O'Hare Airport is the busiest airport in the country and this fact has made Illinois an attractive target for drug traffickers. Chicago has long had a problem with drug-related gang activity. This has meant an increase in homicides, prostitution, money laundering and many other social and economic problems. Most of the supply of cocaine comes into Chicago in large amounts. The drug is then shipped throughout the state and to New York City and Philadelphia. Heroin continues to be a problem in Illinois because the drug is cheap, widely available and strong. Methamphetamine is also a problem for law enforcement in Illinois and is produced in mainly rural areas in clandestine laboratories using stolen supplies. Chicago is a big city and has a continued problem with club drugs, popular with young people. Club drugs like GHB and ecstasy are a frequent fixture of the concert and nightclub scene. As in every other state in the country, prescription drug addiction continues to increase at an alarming rate, creating many criminal, social and economic headaches for residents of Illinois.

The Chikni Chameli singer is super delighted at receiving the honour from the elected Members of Parliament in London
Little did the 16–year-old aspiring singer know that one day she would reach this level when she first participated in Zee TV's singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. That little girl grew up to be the Shreya Ghoshal we all know so well, the voice that sang Oo lala, Chikni Chameli, Aashiyan and so many others. She was recently bestowed with one of the highest honours in London by elected Members of Parliament in the House of Commons – the home of British politics and centuries of democratic tradition.
Shreya's silky voice has enchanted millions in romantic, sensual and soulful numbers over the years and her services to Indian music were praised at the ceremony. The talented artiste was accompanied by her father, who has been instrumental in nurturing her talent. "It's such an honour. It motivates me a lot. I will do better music and something more meaningful in life, as a payback to the love people have given me," Shreya expressed her contentment. The singer also shared how, despite coming to London as just a tourist, this visit was like a fairytale come true, and made her feel like a princess.
Our heartiest congratulations to you Shreya, for doing us proud! We are sure there are many more such awards to come…

Nonfiction cinema directors draw their inspiration from the real world and, in the process, cede some control to fate. Fiction filmmakers, meanwhile, exert complete control over their work. This simplistic dichotomy drives the film world's taxonomists — be they film festival programmers or video store employees — to slot movies into "Narrative" and "Documentary" categories. In this process, we marginalize vital, innovative cinema that locates a healthy tension between these two authorial desires.
Now entering its second year, Neither/Nor is the True/False Film Fest's annual inquiry into the history of "chimeric" cinema, i.e. films that contain elements of both fiction and nonfiction.
In our inaugural year, film writer Eric Hynes focused on chimeric cinema made in New York City during the late 1960s, in the immediate aftermath of Direct Cinema. This year, we decided to look outside of our own country and focus on Iran, a country that turned heads throughout the 1990s with its many inventive, self-reflexive films.
This year's Neither/Nor guide is the estimable Godfrey Cheshire, who, since writing the 1993 Film Comment piece "Where Iranian Cinema Is," has emerged as one of the world's leading authorities on Iranian cinema. Godfrey has spent much time in Iran and has interviewed many of its most famous directors — including Abbas Kiarostami and Mohsen Makhmalbaf — on numerous occasions.
In his invaluable essay, available at Ragtag in a free limited edition monograph, Godfrey traces the story of Iranian chimeric cinema, starting with its earliest films and leading all the way up to its 1990s blossoming. It's an engrossing narrative revolving around mentorship and rivalry, ingenuity and tradition.
We're incredibly grateful to Godfrey for sharing his immense insights into these films, and we look forward to continuing to explore more chimeric traditions next year.
Neither/Nor is presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. All screenings in the Neither/Nor series are free and will take place in Ragtag Cinema's big theater. Tickets to tonight's screening of Close-up are available at the Ragtag Box Office. Screenings during the Fest will be accessible via the Q.
Here's a short introduction to each of this year's selections.
Close-Up (dir. Abbas Kiarostami, 1990, 98 min.) In this 1990 landmark, director Abbas Kiarostami takes a bizarre case of identity theft and convinces its real-life subjects to participate in a creative reenactment. Hossain Sabzian is a young, underemployed lover of cinema. One day while riding a bus, he meets a woman and convinces her that he is film director Mohsen Makhmalbaf. When she is confused why such a famous man would be riding public transit, Sabzian explains that it's important to draw inspiration from the real world. Under this pretense, he worms his way into her family's home and bank account. When the family starts to become suspicious, they invite an ambitious journalist to come investigate. Plays tonight at 6:30 pm and Saturday at 8:30 pm
A Moment of Innocence (dir. Mohsen Makhmalbaf, 1996, 78 min.) In 1974, when Iranian director Mohsen Makhmalbaf was a 17-year-old anti-Shah militant, he stabbed a policeman at a rally. Makhmalbaf found himself in prison for six years, while the police officer suffered serious injuries. Many years later, after Makhmalbaf had found fame as a director, he ran into the same police officer during a film shoot, and they agreed to collaborate on a film. In the brilliantly structured A Moment of Innocence, we witness the two men as they work together to recreate this incident. As they go about this process, we discover that the men have very different memories of what transpired on that pivotal day. Plays Thursday at 5:30
The Mirror (dir. Jafar Panahi, 1997, 93 min.) In the center of Tehran, as the day comes to a close, a young first-grader named Mina (played by Mina Mohammad-Khani) walks out of her school and discovers that her mother is nowhere to be found. Impatient, and with one arm in a sling, she decides to find her own way home. Mina boards a bus and listens in on the various conversations unfolding around her. That bus, it turns out, is heading the wrong direction. Eventually, all of a sudden, a frustrated Mina does something surprising. Jafar Panahi, then a protégé of Close-Up director Abbas Kiarostami, directed this playfully reflexive 1997 film. Plays Friday at 12:30 pm
The Apple (dir. Samira Makhmalbaf, 1999, 86 min.) Directed by a then 17-year-old Samira Makhmalbaf (daughter of Mohsen Makhmalbaf, who co-wrote the screenplay), this 1998 film recreates a scandalous news story using the real life participants. In an Iranian neighborhood, a strict, unemployed father and his blind wife keep their 11-year-old twin daughters, Massoumeh and Zahra, locked in their house. After neighbors complain to the welfare ministry, a social worker comes to release them. Makhmalbaf's quasi-documentary follows Massoumeh and Zahra as they receive their first taste of freedom and observes their father as he sits behind bars, reflecting on his actions. Makhmalbaf's auspicious debut is a profoundly unsettling exploration of patriarchy. Screens with "The House Is Black" (Forough Farrokhzad, 1963, 22 min.). Plays Saturday at 10:30 am

RPT-India's Snapdeal searches for funds, takeover speculation grows
* Talks on raising fresh funds from China not successful-sources
NEW YORK Aug 29 An internal investigation into JPMorgan Chase & Co's hiring practices in Asia is examining the employment of around 200 people for instances of possibly illegal nepotism, a source said, indicating the bank's hiring issues may extend beyond the two cases U.S. officials originally asked about.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had requested information on two deals the bank may have won by hiring relatives of key officials, including the daughter of a Chinese state railway official, the person said. U.S. anti-bribery laws prohibit hiring any individual in exchange for a specific favor or benefit from an outside business partner or client.
JPMorgan disclosed the inquiry in its quarterly regulatory filing earlier this month. Bloomberg reported late Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Justice is now also involved in the probe. The Justice Department has not requested anything from JPMorgan related to the SEC's investigation, the source said.
Peter Carr, a spokesman for the DOJ, declined to comment. Florence Harmon, a spokeswoman for the SEC, declined to comment. JPMorgan representatives have said the bank is cooperating with investigators.
JPMorgan's internal probe is still in preliminary stages, and has not reached any conclusions about whether any of the approximately 200 hirings were illegal.
Launching an internal investigation in response to a regulatory review or criminal probe is standard practice for large companies, partly because prosecutors are more lenient when companies find and admit wrongdoing.
After JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon lost credibility for understating the seriousness of the bank's "London Whale" derivatives losses last year, JPMorgan executives have been more inclined to disclose legal inquiries long before they could become material to the company, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The company disclosed in a filing earlier this month that it had received at least four requests for information from government agencies over matters that are not yet the subject of litigation. In one of those, JPMorgan said the SEC's Division of Enforcement asked for information and documents about the firm's "employment of certain former employees in Hong Kong and its business relationships with certain clients."
Regarding the London Whale trading losses last year, Dimon initially said that reports of possible losses from the derivatives trades were a "tempest in a teapot." The company was later criticized in separate government investigations for holding back information from authorities on the derivatives and on trades in electric power markets.

This is a question that is not asked nearly enough in the case of government action, particularly, it seems to me, in the case of Steamboat Springs city government. As each new issue arises, the City Council, the newspaper, and most of the populace seems to immediately consider the question of how the government should act to address the issue. We seem to have forgotten to analyze the initial question, which is who should be deciding the issue.
This country was founded on the principle of limited government by citizens who had tasted the ill effects of an intrusive and oppressive government from England. As Thomas Jefferson put it, "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."
We have to remember that government action is, by its nature, coercive. In the case of regulation, the liberties of the regulated are limited by the actions of the government. In the case of taxes, as Ayn Rand often said, the government confiscates the assets of the taxpayer at the point of a gun. Rand's characterization may seem extreme, but just consider what would happen if you steadfastly refused to pay taxes.
I have often heard the activities of an over-energetic government justified by those who simply say that "the community" should decide. This is a euphemism. In fact, the practical result of this approach is that the government, using its coercive power, will decide. Even in cases where this government action has the support of the majority of citizens, we should all reflect on the words of James Madison, the primary author of our Constitution, who said, "In Republics, the great danger is that the majority may not sufficiently respect the rights of the minority."
You should also consider that often government officials or regulators are simply not well situated to make decisions. Often they simply do not have a good understanding of the activities that they purport to regulate. In this regard, I often remember a story told by my father, who worked all his life in the Oklahoma oil field in a plant that produced propane and butane (referred to as LPG). On the door of the Washington office that regulated this activity were the words "Low Pressure Gas." This is a bit disconcerting since LPG stands for "Liquefied Petroleum Gas." We should not assume that the government's knowledge of any regulated activity is any greater at the state, county, or city level or that less absurd results will be achieved at any of these levels.
Here think of your favorite government boondoggle, like the Bridge to Nowhere, all those government projects in West Virginia named for Robert Byrd, nonsensical zoning, inclusionary zoning fees with no provision for their use, huge consulting fees, endless meetings, etc. You get the idea.
This is not to say that government should never be the party to make critical decisions. Even Adam Smith saw that government had three important obligations: 1) to protect its citizens from foreign invasion and oppression; 2) to administer internal justice and 3) to erect and maintain public works and institution "which it can never be for the interest of any individual, or small group of individuals, to erect or maintain."
In the intervening two centuries, the reach of government has continued to expand to our detriment. In this regard, we should again consider the words of James Madison, "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."
And so, when we all hear of the next local controversy, let's all stop to consider, "Why is this a question for the City Council?

Espejo, Antonio de (äntōˈnyō ħā āspāˈhō) [key], fl. 1582–83, Spanish explorer. In 1582 he was sent out from San Bartolomé, Mexico, to rescue missionaries said to be menaced by the Pueblo people. He went down the Conchos River and then up the Rio Grande, exploring much of the present New Mexico and going far into the present Arizona before returning in 1583. He found traces of gold that led the Spanish to support the expedition under Juan de Oñate a few years later. His narrative is translated in H. E. Bolton, Spanish Explorations in the Southwest (1916).

View List of 2013 Acquisitions
From July 2012 to June 2013, the Vancouver Art Gallery acquired 276 artworks through purchase and donation, bringing the total number of works in the collection to 10,546. Contemporary art continues to be a strong focus of our acquisitions activity, with significant purchases of work by emerging artists, including paintings by Rebecca Brewer, Heather Passmore and Etienne Zack; sculptures by Sonny Assu, Corin Sworn and Brendan Tang; as well as ink-jet prints by Raymond Boisjoly that were recently presented in Beat Nation: Art, Hip Hop and Aboriginal Culture. These acquisitions were generously funded by proceeds from the Audain Emerging Artists Acquisition Fund and supported by the Canada Council for the Arts Acquisitions Assistance Program. The Audain Emerging Artists Acquisition Fund was also used to purchase Allochthonous Window by Gareth Moore, a large-scale installation that was commissioned specifically for the artist's solo exhibition at the Gallery. Relying on the Vancouver Art Gallery Acquisition Fund, as well as generous matching support from the Canada Council Acquisitions Assistance program, the Gallery was able to acquire works by local artists including a black and white photograph by Christos Dikeakos, a photographic installation by Marian Penner Bancroft and an installation made from found objects by Laiwan. The Gallery's growing collection of photography was supplemented with the purchase of two photographs by French artist Patrick Faigenbaum, on the heels of his solo presentation at the Gallery-his first ever in Canada. Many other contemporary works entered the collection by way of donation, including two early vacuum-form plastic works by Iain Baxter from Peter Stanley and Lynne Pomfret, two abstract paintings by Pierre Coupey from Patti Kernaghan, two early kinetic sculptures by Max Dean from the Dean Family, a ceramic sculpture by Gathie Falk from Evelyn Springer, a photograph by Karin Geiger and a collage by Paul de Guzman from Coleen and Howard Nemtin, a large-scale installation by Robert Linsley from Ivonne Ip, a painting by Damian Moppett related to his recent outdoor installation at Offsite from a private collection, an artist book by Robert Morris from Bill Jeffries, a painting executed on a found mattress by Heather Passmore from Nora Kelly, a painting by Holger Kalberg from Doris and Ed Daughney, ten drawings by The Royal Art Lodge from Monty Cooper, a suite of drawings by Ed Pien from Gareth Sirotnik, a large-scale tapestry by Joanna Staniszkis from Audrey and Gerald Clarke, two installations by David Tomas from an anonymous donor and a large-scale photomontage canvas by Ian Wallace from Donald Vukson Canadian Collections. Long-standing donors Ann and Marshall Webb gifted an early video work and a set of prints by American artist Diana Thater, as well as a single-channel video by Los Angeles-based artist Euan Macdonald. The Gallery's renowned collection of photography and photo-based work continues to expand. An extraordinary gift of 111 silver gelatin prints by Charles Gagnon was received from Michiko Yajima Gagnon. Major Art Donors Claudia Beck and Andrew Gruft gifted contemporary works by Robert Arndt, Greg Girard, Rodney Graham, Geoffrey James, Evan Lee, Ryan Sluggett and Althea Thauberger; historical photographs by Chansonetta Stanley Emmons, Erich Salomon and Aaron Siskind; and an iconic image by Robert Frank, Parade—Hoboken, New Jersey. Local collectors David Allison and Chris Nicholson realized a Promised Gift of a photograph by Reece Terris. Toronto-based collectors, Ann and Harry Malcolmson donated a large-scale photograph by Vancouver-based artist Stephen Waddell. The Gallery's holdings of historical Canadian painting were greatly enhanced with the very generous gift of thirty-five watercolours by Charles John Collings from Uno and Dianne Langmann as well as one oil on canvas by Collings from Uno Langmann Limited. From a truly generous anonymous donor the Gallery received works by William Brymner, Maurice Cullen, John Hammond, Jock Macdonald, Thomas Mower Martin, Laura Muntz Lyall, Henri Perr? William Raphael, Otto Reinhold Jacobi, Marc Aurèle de Foy Suzor-Cot? Zacharie Vincent and Horatio Walker that supplemented the Gallery's holdings of historical Canadian painting. A painting by Arthur Lismer was donated by Turrall A. Moore, in memory of his parents, Charles A. and Jean C. Moore. Promised Gifts of historical First Nations works were realized by Michael Audain and Yoshiko Karasawa. Christopher Wall and Susie Crang donated an expressive oil painting by Maxwell Bates, and Elizabeth and Robert Bowes gifted four watercolours by George Campbell Tinning. The Gallery is especially grateful to artists who made donations of their own work, including Sonny Assu, Raymond Boisjoly, Pierre Coupey, Patrick Faigenbaum, Máximo González, Laiwan, Robert Linsley, Myfanwy MacLeod, Alex Morrison, Marian Penner Bancroft, Elspeth Pratt, Takao Tanabe, Ian Wallace, Lawrence Weiner, Yang Fudong and Robert Youds. Promised Gifts to the Gallery's permanent collection include a silver gelatin photograph by Mark Ruwedel from Mark McCain and Caro Macdonald/Eye and I, as well as a painting by Gordon Smith promised by the artist. We extend our great appreciation to all of our donors whose continued generosity is so crucial to the growth of the Gallery's permanent collection. Thank you!

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
DUBLIN (AP) — Ireland will pay several hundred former residents of Catholic-run Magdalene laundries at least $45 million to compensate them for their years of unpaid labor and public shame, the government announced Wednesday following a decade-long campaign by former residents of the workhouses.
Justice Minister Alan Shatter apologized to the women — an estimated 770 survivors out of more than 10,000 who lived in the dozen facilities from 1922 to 1996 — that it had taken so long for them to receive compensation.
The move marked the latest step in a two-decade effort by Ireland to investigate and redress human rights abuses in its Catholic institutions.
Shatter's decision came four months after a government-commissioned probe found that women consigned to the laundries were broadly branded ''fallen'' women.

The brick business plan is used by small contractors and brick manufacturers alike; the contents will vary slightly, but the same type of document is required whether you make the bricks yourself or you install them at a jobsite. Brick manufacturers use factory lines and advanced machinery to mass-produce construction-grade bricks, which are then sold in bulk to wholesalers/intermediaries or retail stores and contractors. Knowing your "market mix" is important, so if you're a start-up and haven't logged any sales yet, make an educated guess about how your sales will be divided between different types of customers. Also important for the market analysis in a brick business plan:
• Who are the other big players in this market?
• What strengths/weaknesses do your biggest competitors have?
• How has your industry fared in recent years?
• Is there a specific market need you fulfill, i.e., is the area fast growing, do you offer something unique to buyers, etc.?
• What level of sales can you project serving the market you've identified?
A brick business plan also needs to get to the nuts and bolts in a financial model that shows how you'll use the capital you raise, the sort of revenues you expect, the number of people you will need to hire, and the expenses the business will incur on an ongoing basis. The tables to build include a use of funds, personnel plan, sales forecast, break-even point, profit and loss, cash flow, and a balance sheet for at least three forward-looking years. An investor in your business may require more detail than a bank, but a three-year model should be a good start. You will want to show your marketing plan and management team in the business plan too. Want help? MasterPlans can write this entire document without you needing to do all the heavy lifting.

Police testify abouttheater shooting
CENTENNIAL, Colo. The officers struggled to hold back the tears as they recalled the Colorado theater shooting: discovering a 6-year-old girl without a pulse, trying to keep a wounded man from jumping out of a moving police car to go back for his 7-year-old daughter and screaming at a gunshot victim not to die.
"After I saw what I saw in the theater – horrific – I didn't want anyone else to die," said Officer Justin Grizzle, who transported the wounded.
James Holmes, the man accused of going on the deadly rampage, didn't appear to show any emotion as Grizzle and other officers testified Monday in a courtroom as survivors and families of those who died watched quietly.
"He's heartless. He really is. He has no emotion. He has no feeling," said Sam Soudani afterward. His 23-year-old daughter survived after being hit by shrapnel from an explosive device at the theater.
On the first day of a hearing that will determine whether there's enough evidence to put Holmes on trial, the testimony brought back the raw emotions following the July 20 attack at the suburban Denver theater that left 12 people dead and dozens wounded.
Investigators say Holmes, wearing body armor, tossed two gas canisters into the packed theater and then opened fire.
Arriving officers saw people running out of the theater and trying to drive away. Some wounded tried to crawl out. Officers found Holmes standing next to his car. Officer Jason Oviatt said he thought at first Holmes was a policeman because of how he was dressed but realized he was not rushing toward the theater.

I just sent AKG an email and that picture. I'll see what they have to say. Told them they should consider revising that part. They have an amazing sound product right here, but it should be more durable. It's why I buy DJ headphones in the first place, for the durabiltiy I thought that the polymer was going to be much stronger than that, but maybe it's just too thin,
I can't get a replacement/swap right now because I'm in the process of moving and it won't get to me in time.
