Dealer Comments
00 VEHICLE IS UNREGISTERED AND AVAILABLE TO LEASE*Could have, should have, would have.
Life's too short for 'what ifs'.
Too short for unfulfilled daydreams.
The new 718 Boxster makes a clear statement: let's go! It interprets the 718 legend by embracing the concept of freedom characteristic of a pure-bred roadster: plenty of twists and turns, plenty of headwind, and plenty of adrenaline.
In short, a direct and open driving experience.
Ideal prerequisites, then, for the most exciting workout of all: life itself.
The new 718 Boxster boasts a new turbocharged horizontally opposed engine for increased power, considerably more torque, and a high RPM limit while still delivering the characteristically powerful acoustics of a Porsche horizontally opposed unit, sounding even more urgent with the new sports exhaust system.
The S models draw their power from a capacity of 2.
5 liters.
The result is 350 hp at 6,500 rpm.
The maximum torque of 309 lb.
is available across an impressively wide range from 1,900 to 4,500 rpm.
This engine -- like the engine in the 911 Turbo -- also comes equipped with variable turbine geometry (VTG).
VTG provides an even more consistent delivery of power and, in turn, significantly greater driving pleasure.
Propulsive potential? Top track speed is 177 mph.
The S models with PDK and Launch Control complete the 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 4.
0 seconds.
Sharp, snappy, clean -- inside and out.
The design is striking, while the rear end with accent trim looks even wider.
The cock pit is newly styled, the specification exquisite.
The color range has been extended.
The horizontal geometry of the air intakes makes the front end appear even wider -- and lends it added bite.
The fenders? Unmistakably Porsche.
Higher than the front lid, they have been styled to give prominence to the new design of the headlights, which lay bare their inner workings and incorporate the LED daytime running lights.
The side profile emphasizes the midengine layout.
The wheel arches are large, designed for wheels up to 20 inches in size.
One thing is clear: the new 718 models were not intended for the shelter of the garage, but for the pleasure of driving.
That's precisely why the contouring on the doors purposefully directs headwind into the large air intakes on either side of the car.
This ensures the optimum supply of air to the new turbocharged engines, a basis for their powerful forward thrust.
Another sporty detail: new exterior mirrors with v-shaped mirror base.
When closed, the fabric roof of the 718 Boxster completes the sleek silhouette typical of a sport car.
At the push of a button, it opens and closes fully automatically in 9 seconds -- even on the move, up to a speed of 31 mph.
And yet it's anything but conformist.
The taillights are slim, their inner workings fashioned three-dimensionally.
Four-point LED lights are incorporated into each of the horizontal rear light housing.
Between the two taillights, an accent trim makes the rear end look even wider.
The wing above extends automatically at a speed of 75 mph, reducing lift to provide even better roadholding performance.

Now available: Medieval Mysteries
Now available: Gothic Cathedrals
Now available: The Templars & the Grail
Now available: The Knights Templar Encyclopedia
The Cathars of the Languedoc were dualist heretics who probably presented the greatest doctrinal challenge faced by the Catholic church in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The word Cathar comes from the Greek katharos, meaning pure. They Cathars professed a neo-Manichaean dualism – that there are two principles, one good and one evil, and that this world, the material world, is evil. Similar views were held in the Balkans and the Middle East by the medieval religious sects of the Paulicians and the Bogomils, with whom the Cathars were closely connected.
They were dissident, pacific Christians who would not accept the orthodox position that an omnipotent and eternal God could possibly have been responsible for the material world of matter, as to them, this world was the product of an evil creator, not a good one. To the Cathars, as Dr. Malcom Barber states in his latest work, The Cathars, such a Creator was "either a being fallen from the perfection of Heaven who had seduced a proportion of the angelic souls there and then entrapped them in matter, or, he was a co-eternal power, quite independent of the Good God of the spirit. The only release for those souls encased in the material prison of the body was through the Cathar ceremony of the consolamentum, which was the means by which they could return to their guardian spirits in Heaven." (p.1)
The Cathars believed that matter was evil, and that Man (Humanity) was an alien sojourner in an essentially evil world. Therefore, the main aim of Man was to free his spirit, which was in its nature good, and restore it with God. They had strict rules for fasting, and were strict vegetarians. The Cathars also allowed women to be perfecti, i.e., priests. They did not believe in a Last Judgement, believing instead that this material world would end only when the last of the angelic souls had been released from it. They believed in reincarnation, and that souls could take many lifetimes to reach perfection before their final release.
In many ways, Catharism represented total opposition to the Catholic church, which they basically viewed as a large, pompous, and fraudalent organisation which had lost its integrity and "sold out" for power and money in this world. The Cathars could also not accept the orthodox beliefs regarding the Eucharist, and other sacraments of the church, as this implied that Christ would have actually lived on this earth in the flesh, been crucified, and resurrected from this evil, material world – something that they felt a divine, good Being like Christ could never do in the first place, as God (i.e. Christ, in the orthodox Christian view) would never exist in this material world, only in Heaven. So, they rejected a fundamental tenet of the orthodox church: the Incarnation.
The Cathar church was organised into dioceses, who bishops presided over an order of succession consisting of elder and younger 'sons', deacons, and perfecti and perfectae, their priesthood. Many supporters were among the nobility of the Languedoc, which was one of the most sophisticated, wealthy and cosmopolitan civilisations in all Europe at the time. Many lay people supported the perfecti (priests) by becoming credentes, and most took the consolamentum when near death, as the hard, ascetic rigours of the life of the perfecti were too demanding for the average person. So, they could marry and have a family, while the perfecti lived a monastic life; it is also known that the Cathar perfecti travelled in pairs while doing their ministry. They were successful healers and doctors, and knew a great deal about herbalism. Overall, the Cathars had a large number of followers, and the greatest success in southern France and northern Italy. Soon, with such radical beliefs and large numbers, they became a definite threat to the Catholic church, and the Inquisition was finally launched on them, culminating in one of the bloodiest, ruthless crusades the world has ever seen.
Various crusades were preached to the Cathars first, but to no avail. Bernard of Clairvaux was known to have said that he thought they lived basically good lives, yet heretical, but others took a more severe line. Eventually, as all else seemed to fail, a policy of violence was instigated by a desperate church, resulting in many deaths and atrocities, fuelled by the greed of northern French barons who supported the crusades against the wealthy Languedoc in the south. The Inquisition persisted in earnest and, in some cases, whole villages or cities were annihilated, including women and children, and even Catholics, with the justification by the church that this serious heresy must be eliminated no matter what the consequences. Arnold Aimery, the Papal Legate at the siege of Beziers, ordered his men: "Show mercy neither to order, nor to age, nor to sex….Cathar or Catholic, Kill them all… God will know his own….". Catharism finally vanished from the stage of history by the end of the 14th century. But, since the final, fateful siege of Monsegur in 1244, the Cathars, and their memory, continue to fascinate many people today.

A. Many organizations are looking at migrating from Windows XP (and Vista) to Windows 7, and one challenge can be application compatibility with Windows 7. There are several solutions for application compatibility, including application shims, updating the applications, and Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V, the enterprise version of XP Mode with centralized management and image distribution). Sometimes solutions like MED-V might not be available, though, and the entire XP desktop, including profile, applications, and data, just needs to be made available under a new Windows 7 OS.
Microsoft has released a beta of Microsoft P2V Migration for Software Assurance, a solution built on the disk2vhd Sysinternals tool and the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (which can also integrate with SCCM). The solution:
- Captures the entire XP (or later) desktop to a VHD.
- Deploys the new Windows 7 OS.
- Restores the XP VHD and related hotfixes for full XP Mode functionality (including RemoteApp fixes).
- Integrates the VM into the Windows 7 start menu so the applications that are installed in the XP OS show on the Windows 7 Start menu.
You can launch the applications that are installed in XP seamlessly from the Windows 7 Start menu, and the applications run on the Windows 7 desktop instead of a separate XP desktop. You can also elect to see the entire Windows XP desktop. You have a complete legacy OS environment running alongside your new Windows 7 environment.
It should be noted that this should be treated as a solution for particular cases and not a normal migration solution. You're capturing the entire Windows XP environment, which means you may end up with a VHD that's 50-80GB. In contrast, MED-V deployed XP images may only be 2GB. MED-V also has functionality that allows automatic URL redirection to the IE6 running in a MED-V-provided XP image, which isn't possible using the standard XP Mode functionality that this P2V migration solution relies on. So when would you use it?
- You have users that have highly customized Windows XP environments and configurations that can't risk any disruption to their own environment.
- Your XP installations have software for which the install media is no longer available, or have region-specific versions that can't be deployed centrally.
The solution can be downloaded from Microsoft. Once the P2V migration is installed on your Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) or System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) box, there will now be extra scripts available. During the installation, extra tools, such as disk2vhd and hotfixes, are downloaded, ready for integration with the new task sequences.
The P2V process relies on the new ZTIRetro.wsf script, which has both /STATECAPTURE and /STATERESTORE modes that are used to capture and restore the XP legacy environment. Several scripts are added to MDT (and to SCCM through MDT integration) to automatically capture and restore using the P2V capabilities. However, you can add the P2V capabilities to other task sequences/templates by copying the command used to capture/restore. You get the command by looking at the Capture and Restore VHD tasks in the P2V-provided templates.
There's a great video at on TechNet that talks more about the P2V Migration solution.

Here we are going to know about RummyCircle but first you need to get a keen understanding of what is rummy and further we will also talk about the pros and cons of rummy.
Remember rummy?? This game has caught a lot of attention of crores of people since 1980's though this game can be much older than this, but no history is available for such games, whether who discovered it and how it came out as "Rummy". Well, it is a game where a player is provided with 13 cards set, the player has to make matching cards of same rank or sequence and he /she has to arrange it in set of 3,3,3, and 4 also called as melds.
Melds can be a book or run which consist of cards of same rank or consecutive cards. We have been well acquainted with this game and have been playing it offline since our childhood but there are many websites are available these days which offer online facility to play rummy. One of them which I like the most is RummyCircle.com. I came across this website and noticed that many people have been linked through this website these days and playing games online. However, there are some pros and cons Rummycircle review which i noticed here.
RummyCircle Reviews:
The pros can be that since this game is available online, you can play it any time whether you are in between traffic in your car or you are standing somewhere on mountains. Another pro is that you can win a lot of money through this game as this game is also providing an ultimate opportunity to earn money to winners. Online is exactly like traditional rummy but this time money can be in crores it can be good to earn lot of money along with entertaining yourselves. RummyCircle offers 24×7 support to its player, you can call on RummyCircle customer care number anytime from your register number.
The cons are that you can also lose money at the same time. Small kids if came across this game will definitely not be good as this game is like a tranquillizer so it can have a lot of bad effects on children's plus gambling at an early age can lead to distraction from studies, so this game is good but should be played in limits.
It is fun as I have played this game, I feel like it is like an alcoholic craving for alcohol once you start playing this game. Playing rummy would be fun it could be a great time pass for housewives or people having lots of money and do not know where to spend. Sometimes playing games like rummy are also advisable as it makes life fun.
What awaits you at RummyCircle is that it is modern style rummy to play, here we can have different types of games free rummy, pool rummy, point's rummy and Indian rummy the best thing about this game is that you can play rummy free of cost they don't charge anything. It's only during the playtime that you have to pay money if you want. The best thing about this Rummycircle is that it is secure and is secured by world renowned I Tech labs from Australia and therefore I can consider it secure for playing. You can pay money through secured payment gateways and net banking like credit and debit cards. Many positive Rummycircle reviews makes us to play rummy game online here.

A Mexican mayor was having breakfast with his wife in a restaurant when he was gunned down this week. To avoid a similar fate, mayors in the western state of Michoacan admit they must pay off drug cartels.
Wilfrido Flores Villa, interim mayor of the Michoacan town of Nahutzen, was the 31st mayor to be killed in Mexico since a spiral of drug-related violence began to engulf the nation in 2006.
The gangs operating in Michoacan, where the Knights Templar cartel emerged, shake down everybody from the wealthy to the poor. They must all pay up to avoid being kidnapped or killed.
Gang members brazenly walk into city halls without warning to collect their extortion money, which amounts to around $800 per month.
This happens right under the nose of federal troops who have been deployed since 2006 to crack down on the country's drug cartels.
Some 50,000 troops were deployed across the nation by then president Felipe Calderon in 2006. Since then, more than 70,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence as cartels battle each other and the authorities.
His successor, Enrique Pena Nieto, took over in December vowing to shift the focus towards reducing everyday murders, extortion and kidnappings afflicting Mexicans by creating a new federal police force. But he is keeping troops on the streets for now.
While local authorities, including police and elected officials, are often accused of colluding with cartels, they have also fallen prey to the violence. Most of the killings of mayors have taken place in Michoacan and the northern state of Durango.
In November, Maria Santos Gorrostieta, a former mayor in the Michoacan town of Tiquicheo, was found dead with signs of torture. She had survived two assassination attempts while she was in office from 2008-2011.
The mayor of the town of Inde in Durango said in November that officers from his own municipal force tried to kidnap him in an attack that left eight people dead.
Mayors from towns along Michoacan's borders with other Mexican states are the most at risk since gangs have fierce fights for control over these areas against the Knights Templar.
But Vinicio Aguilera Garibay, a regional prosecutor in the state capital Morelia, said that paying money to gangs is a crime.
Mayors threatened by drug gangs have an obligation to file complaints with the authorities, as the money they give to the criminals comes from public coffers, he said.
But mayors say they live in fear of gangs whose arsenal, which includes assault rifles, is more powerful than that of municipal police forces.
The lack of police protection prompted an entire town called Cheran to form its own vigilante force in July 2011 to fight off illegal loggers in their woods. A neighboring Michoacan town, Urapicho, also took up arms last year and a similar movement emerged last month in the neighboring state of Guerrero.

President Obama has nominated Ernest Moniz, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), to succeed Nobel laureate Steven Chu as US energy secretary. If the Senate approves the nomination, Moniz will assume the top position in the US Department of Energy (DOE), where the responsibilities range from the country's stockpile of nuclear weapons to funding national laboratories to supporting energy-efficiency programmes. "Most importantly," the president said in his announcement, "Ernie knows that we can produce more energy and grow our economy while still taking care of our air, our water and our climate."
Moniz, 68, received a BSc in physics from Boston College in 1966 before being awarded a PhD in theoretical physics from Stanford University in 1972. He then joined MIT a year later, serving as head of the department from 1991 to 1995.
Unlike Chu when he took over the role of US energy secretary four years ago, Moniz has direct experience of Washington. Under the administration of Bill Clinton, he served as associate director for science in the Office of Science and Technology Policy from 1995 to 1997 and spent the next four years as under-secretary of energy in the DOE. "Physics sometimes looked easy compared to doing the people's business," he noted about his role in office in an interview in 2009 with Boston College. Moniz then returned to MIT and in 2006 became the first director of the MIT Energy Initiative.
Broad experience
Moniz's colleagues at MIT have applauded his nomination. "He has shown a remarkable ability to discern how best to bring groundbreaking research to bear on both immediate and longer-term energy problems," says former MIT president Susan Hockfield, who chose Moniz to start up the Energy Initiative. That view is shared by Michael Lubell, the American Physical Society's public affairs director and professor of physics at the City College of New York. "He is very, very broad in his knowledge of science and energy," he says.
However, some environmentalists have expressed suspicion of Moniz, because of his stated support for nuclear power and the use of natural gas as a bridge to a future energy economy based on renewables. Nevertheless, colleagues regard him as more prepared for the cut and thrust of Washington politics than his predecessor. "He's a politically savvy guy, and as a result of his time in Washington he understands Washington reasonably well," Lubell adds. "He has a much more natural grasp of politics than Chu ever had, even to this day; his instincts are better."
A tough test to come
Assuming that Moniz wins Senate approval in the coming weeks, he will face a far tougher financial situation than Chu, who was able to use stimulus funds to start new initiatives. Now, the DOE has to retrench under the terms of the "sequester" that, when it went into action only a few days ago, cut significant funds from all cabinet departments.
At the MIT Energy Initiative, Moniz focused on transforming the energy mix, with particular reference to renewable energy technology, which many Republicans in Congress regard with suspicion, if not contempt. But Moniz has also insisted that non-renewables must remain part of the energy portfolio for several years until they become "too carbon-intensive". Natural gas "is part of our solution, at least for some time," he told a meeting at the University of Texas, Austin in December.
And in testimony about a recent MIT Energy Initiative report into the controversial process of fracking, which involves pumping sand and liquid into deep shale deposits to liberate natural gas, he spoke out against banning the method, calling instead for better regulation and oversight. That has drawn the ire of some environmentalists, who regard fracking as anathema. Critics have also expressed suspicion about the financial support that the Energy Initiative receives from fossil-fuel interests. Significantly, though, the DOE has no ability to oversee fracking. That authority belongs to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Along with the selection of Moniz, President Obama yesterday nominated Gina McCarthy to head the EPA. Currently the agency's assistant EPA administrator, McCarthy, 58, arrived in Washington in 2009, following stints as an environmental official in Massachusetts and Connecticut. When the Senate will consider both nominations is currently unknown.

Product Review: Perricone MD Cold Plasma
I'm 53 and I refuse to look a day over 40. (So I'm a tad bit delusional). The good news is that due to great genes and the early use of SPF, not to mention having access to an abundance of cosmeceuticals, I have maintained pretty darn good skin. So I have a slight dilemma when I need to review a product that promises incredible results.
The more damaged one's skin is, the more obvious the results and hence they are easier to gauge. Since my skin is not so damaged, it's difficult to gauge improvement. But, I did managed to seem some improvement with Cold Plasma. The two areas where I search for results are with my pores and with hyperpigmentation.
Enter Perricone MD Cold Plasma. After sponsoring a contest for this miracle cream, I received a jar myself. So I have been using Cold Plasma for approximately 6 weeks and I am pleased with the results. I use this product as a treatment morning and night — layering my moisturizer for day and night over it.
Here are the claims for Perricone MD Cold Plasma:
Cold Plasma helps correct the ten most visible signs of aging: wrinkles, enlarged pores, dryness, redness, discoloration, uneven skin tone, impurities, loss of firmness, loss of smoothness, and loss of radiance.
My results:
- Enlarged pores appear smaller
- Skin tone is brighter
- Skin is firmer (my pinch test)
- Skin is radiant without makeup
I love that this product is lightweight and that such a small amount is needed for an application. As a matter of fact, a little spoon comes with the jar, so that you don't over-use the product.
If you have several issues with your skin that you are trying to correct, I would recommend using Cold Plasma, as it is an all-in-one fix.

Since I'm giving recommendations, let me direct your attention to a great newish blog, Fey Accompli, where you can find a singular mix of finely crafted political commentary, literary analysis, ruminations on marketing & business & fashion, and poetic spiritual reflection. Be sure to check out this post about "special music" at Sunday service. I remember wowing the reverently assembled with "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?" around this time of year some many years ago. The correct answer, I think, is "No, I was not there, but Jim Caviezel was." But the point was, Fey Accompli, good. Joanna is pretty pretty. Fey is ineffable.

Inexcusable Failure of Vanity
In an utterly bizarre breakdown of narcissism, I failed to promote myself on my own blog.
Anyway, the oversight is that I failed to mention my piece in TCS the other day, "Insuring Against the Inevitable" on the "don't think about rates of return; social security is insurance canard.
I don't know how this happened, and it won't happen again.
Opinon Duel
The New Republic and The National Review are hosting an "Opinion Duel" between Jonathan Chait and Jonah Goldberg. I'm quite pleased to see that Jonah has availed himself of my post criticizing Chait's silly empiricism article, which, naturally, makes the first round a blowout in Jonah's favor.
Now, if I can whip up an anti-Goldberg screed and get Chait to link to it, I would consider that a libertarian triumph.
You Should Buy Explaining Postmodernism
My friend Stephen Hicks, a professor of philosophy at Rockford College, has written an outstanding book, Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault. I heartily recommend it to anyone interested in the subject. Steve is an incredibly lucid writer, and has a rare talent for making fordbidding ideas accessible. Steve traces the dismal fortunes of reason from Kant's Copernican Revolution, through subsequent German philosophy, down to contemporary postmodernism. I especially enjoyed the clear explanation of the famously obscure Heidegger. Steve notes that postmodernism isn't just nihilist or anti-rationalist, but is uniformly leftist. (If nothing's true, there is no fact of the matter about the quality of reasons to believe things, and belief is just a commitment backed by power, then it makes just as much sense to be a money-grubbing natural rights minarchist as a turtlenecked chainsmoking Trotskyite.) His account of the way the increasingly evident failures of communism in terms of reason and evidence are tracked by the increasingly extreme postmodern rejection of reason and evidence is utterly compelling, and has influenced my thinking since I Steve first gave a talk on the topic to a student group I ran at Northern Illinois way back in 1997. Anyway, it's a lovely little book, and if you've never been able to make heads or tails of postmodernism, or would just like to get a particularly sharp and fresh take on it, pick up Steve's book.
On Trivers
Great profile in the Boston Globe about Robert Trivers. I had the privelege of meeting Trivers at a little conference I helped Tyler Cowen & Robin Hanson organize on self-deception while I was at Mercatus. Trivers is undoubtedly one of the weirdest people I've ever met. He apparently has a penchant for stealing and hoarding pens. He is quite frank about it. So, reasoning that the principle of diminishing marginal utility might help save the pens of those around Trivers, a colleague and I rounded up a varied bunch of spare pens from around the office and left them at Trivers spot, along with a cheap watch from the lost and found, while everyone was having a coffee break. He was delighted. He instantly put the watch on and stashed all the pens in his bag. Big smile. Later, he complained about the flourescent lights bothering his eyes and wondered if we had a hat he could wear. Since we kept no hats around the office, I popped over to the GMU Law bookstore and bought him a Mason cap. Again, just thrilled! He wore it happily the rest of the conference. Later, I received what I consider the ultimate compliment from a man like Trivers: "Hey man, I like your phenotype."
My impression was that he's a very emotionally labile person who naturally gravitates to a fairly agressive form of tit-for-tat. If you do nice things for Trivers, he's just incredibly warm and grateful. If you do things that Trivers doesn't like to Trivers, he angrily retaliates with extreme prejudice.
And he is brilliant. I can't wait for the book on self-deception.
Coming to Boston
I'll be giving a talk on "Pluralism, Sympathy, and Lifestyle Entrepreneurship" or something along those lines, at the Boston University Libertarian Society's imaginatively named Liberty Conference on Saturday April 9th. If you'll be in Boston, or across the river among the dorks and snots, please come by. I aim to edify.
I just thought of something Boston-related that I think is funny to do. When you get in a conversation with somebody, and it gets to the "where'd you go to school phase", and they say with excruciatingly mannered evasiveness "Oh, up in Boston," reply, "Oh sure, Northeastern's a really great school," and walk away. Fun!
Good Government : Nice, But Unnecessary
Deep in the comments of this characteristically puzzling Elizabeth Anderson post, David Velleman strikes back at those who deny that the state is productive:
This is the fallacy that lies behind so much of the distrust of government in which Mr. Ridgely revels (irresponsibly, in my opinion). The fallacy is to think that because government doesn't produce anything, it doesn't contribute to economic productivity. Go look at the current economic productivity of Iraq, and ask yourself what's most needed before it can be improved. What's needed is government.
How productive would our country be without secure borders, without civil order, without a properly regulated currency and banking system, without a judicial system to enforce contracts and adjudicate disputes, without an interstate highway system, air traffic control, well functioning ports and waterways, orderly division of the electromagnetic spectrum, protection for intellectual property rights, guarantees of the safety of buildings, food, and drugs, a well-educated and healthy work-force … must I go on? All of these government functions make productivity possible. Without them, we would all be less productive and poorer.
I agree that the state can contribute to economic productivity by setting in place a system of sound basic institutions that help create the conditions for efficient market cooperation. But Velleman seems to dip his toes in the opposite fallacy. Markets are limited and feeble without effective political and legal institutions. Therefore assume effective political and legal institutions! And behold their glory! Government makes markets go ZOOM!
But but but wait. Market cooperation is limited in the absence of effective government because of, to make a very complicated story very uncomplicated, problems of assurance and trust. But problems of assurance and trust are exactly what prevents government from being effective, too. In order to fund a government sufficient to do anything worth having a government do, there has to be sufficient wealth, and thus markets that have already solved, to some extent at least, the problems that you need government to help markets solve.
The more effective, efficient, trustworthy, non-corrupt, credible, etc. a government is, the less you will need government. Whatever norms a society has deployed to partially solve the principle/agent & state autonomy & nepotism & predation problems that afflict political institutions everywhere and always, those are norms that will have also been deployed to solve problems of market cooperation.
So here's my little superficially paradoxical rule of thumb, which I hereby dub Wilkinson's Law, until I am told that it has already been dubbed: The more your markets need government, the less your government will be able to do for your markets. Or, equivalently, the more your government is able to do for your markets, the less it will need to do. Pithier still . . . Government: if you need it, it won't be good, and if it's good, you don't need it.
Ceterus paribus, naturally.
This leads me to believe that Velleman's list of the wonders of good government has too much stuff on it. Indeed, his entire list after "adjudicate disputes" is pretty questionable. If you've already got the kinds of markets that give rise to issues about interstate highways, air traffic control, spectrum allocation, food and drug safety, and whatnot, then you've likely already developed the wherewithal to solve market coordination problems using largely market means. And if the market can do it, then the government isn't likely to do it any better. And the government doesn't contribute to productivity if it's crowding out something that could be do the same thing better by other means. And when the government does it, its coercive. And coercion is bad, on the face of it, and raises questions of moral legitimacy that do not arise under institutions of voluntary coordination. Because voluntary cooperation is good, which is why markets are.
IHS Summer Seminars
Time is running out! If you're a libertarian or libertarian-curious college student with some time on your hands over the summer, you've got to apply for one of the Institute for Humane Studies' fantastical free summer summer seminars. You'll make new friends! You'll explore WILD new ideas! Face the ultimate contrarian challenge of alienating even those who agree with you!
Seriously, some of the best times in my young life were had at IHS seminars. If you miss the chance, you'll regret it. There is no tired quite like the good tired after a week of friendly heated conversation, little sleep, and copious free beer.
Style and the CPI
Virginia Postrel has a nice little piece on hotel rooms and the problem of setting up the CPI. I am quite sure that the CPI overestimates inflation, underestimates real wages, and that the gap between the methodologically "correct" CPI and the actually existing CPI is growing at an ever accelerating rate. Before coming to Washington, and getting all interested in policy. I had no idea what a profound impact a bunch of statisticians down at the BLS have on all our lives. These technical methodological matters mean more than most people know. Although she doesn't come right out and say so (when she writes, "If . . . guests care as much about aesthetics as hoteliers believe they do, it would be irresponsible to treat the $15 as a true price increase," I think I can hear the antecedent affirmed between the lines"), Virginia's saying that the CPI just can't get a grip on increases in value due to "intangibles," and so overestimates the price of hotels rooms and underestimates the worth of the money in your pocket.
The concluding sentence is nice:
Measuring inflation, [BLS guy] acknowledges, "is more of an art than a science, unfortunately."
Which is to say, value-laden and contestable.
Hartz Brain Farts
From Louis Hartz's bizarrely rambling and free-associative The Liberal Tradition in America (1955), for all you Austrians out there:
But Lippmann's defense of liberalism, if it utilized the bogey of foreign totalitarianism, was for the most part devoid of American nationalism. It was theoretical, philosophic, relying, as we know, on the Austrian school of Von Mises and Hayek. And here is a most interesting set of relationships. The class-conscious Toryism of Europe could absorb only a bit, and even that incongruously, of the diehard John Brightism preached by the Austrians. Austria itself with its statist tradition found it for the most part irrelevant. But America, a liberal community, found it usable, so that Hayek after the Second World War scored himself a more vivid literary success here than Lippmann had during the New Deal. What they used to say about England, that it was the home of dead German philosophies, would have to be altered in this case to apply to America: it is the home of dead English philosophies retained by Austrian professors.
That is, in fact, a particularly coherent passage. After reading about ten pages, I thought I was inside a political theorist's hallucination, where historical figures become grotesteque blabbering cartoons, and their "isms" become ruber balls that they juggle and throw, and which bounce around according to no sensibile physics. And even the isms have isms. Americanistic Hamiltonism is bouncing its repressed Algerist Whiggery off the skull of Herbert Spencer and Norman Thomas who have heads the size of watemelons and giant mouths yelling slogans and tiny bodies dressed in meticulous brown suits. Or, in other words, like reading a book-length Reihan Salam post, but without the rap. Harvard professors really used to write like this?

LEXINGTON, Va. -- The Washington and Lee wrestling team dropped a 33-14 decision to Johns Hopkins on Saturday afternoon at Doremus Gym.
After a forfeit loss at 125 pounds, senior Sam Campbell (Winnetka, Ill./New Trier) got the Generals (2-16, 0-5) on the board with a technical fall (18-3, 7:00) victory over JHU junior Michael Koren (Las Vegas, Nev./Mesivta) at 133 pounds. W&L first-year Matt Howell (Jacksonville, Fla./Bolles) then dropped a 16-3 major decision to junior Paul Marcello (Pembroke Pines, Fla./Cardinal Gibbons) at 141 pounds, while sophomore 149-pounder H.T. Kotchinian (Lowell, Mass./Belmont Hill) suffered a 2-1 setback against JHU sophomore Henry Stauber (Waccabuc, N.Y./John Jay).
Senior David Dennis (Sherman, W.Va./Ravenswood) posted his team-leading eighth pin of the season, felling Johns Hopkins sophomore Matt Fusaro (Huntington, N.Y./John Glenn) in 3:54 at 157 pounds to pull W&L to within 13-11 on the scoreboard.
Sophomore 165-pounder Dan Igel (Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla./Bolles School) notched a 4-3 win over JHU junior Jody Gowen (Belmont, Mass./St. Paul's) to give the Generals a 14-13 lead, but W&L dropped matches at 174 and 184 pounds and conceded forfeits at 197 and 285 pounds as the Blue Jays (3-11, 2-1) pulled away for the win. First-year Zan Reed (Dallas, Texas/Highland Park) dropped a 15-0 tech fall (5:14) to Hopkins first-year Travis Laska (Orlando, Fla./Lake Highland Prep) at 174 and first-year Morgan Moskal (Roanoke, Va./North Cross) was defeated by JHU senior Ben Finelli (Ambler, Pa./Germantown Academy) at 184, 10-3.
Washington and Lee returns to action next Saturday when it hosts NYU and Ursinus for an 11:00 am tri-match.

- Alkanes are chemically less reactive compare to the other carbon compound such as alkene, alcohol or carboxylic acid.
- Alkanes do not react with chemicals such as oxidizing agents, reducing agents, acids and alkalis.
- Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon with strong carbon-carbon (C – C) bonds and carbon-hydrogen (C – H) bonds.
- All the bonds are single bonds which require a lot of energy to break.
- Alkane just only undergo:
- Combustion reaction
- Substitution reaction (with the presence of ultraviolet light)
Alkanes are chemically less reative because they contain only strong covalent bonds which need a lot of energy to break.

Sochi Olympics: When Skating in Russia, Please the Natives
What Kind of Figure-Skating Music Scores Best in Sochi? Russian, of Course
Competitive advantage takes all forms. And in figure skating, Tchaikovsky may be the difference between gold and a grimace on the kiss-and-cry bench.
A skater's music selection defines the mood: The right tune sparks unison clapping from the crowd and gives an artistic flair to the technical elements. But can certain types of music enable a higher score?

Safety is a priority in the Printmaking Studio.
Before you begin...
There is NO eatng or drinking allowed in the Printmaking studio. Always wash your hands after class and before eating or drinking.
Hazards to be aware of in this studio may include:
Etching Inks containing Burnt Linseed Oil.
Chemical Solvents, Urethanes and Thinners
Mechanical Rollers
Intaglio, lithography and reliefinks consist of pigments suspended in either linseed oil or water as a vehicle. There can be additional hazardous binders or preservatives, etc.
- Oil-based inks contain treated linseed oils. While linseed oil is not considered a hazard by skin contact or inhalation, ingestion of large amounts of some treated linseed oils might be hazardous due to presence of small amounts of toxic heavy metals. Oil vehicles are flammable when heated. Most importantly, rags or paper towels contaminated or soaked in linseed oil may ignite by spontaneous combustion.
Obtain the material safety data sheets (MSDSs) for the specific products being used. Use the least toxic inks possible.
Do not use an open flame to heat linseed oil, linseed oil, varnishes, or burnt plate oil. Take normal fire prevention measures (e.g. no smoking or open flames in work area).
Place oil-soaked rags in self-closing disposal cans and remove from the studio each day. An alternative is to place the oil-soaked rags in a pail of water.
Pigments are the colorants used in lithography, intaglio, and relief printing inks. There are two types of pigments:
- inorganic pigments, and
- organic pigments.
- Pigment poisoning can occur if pigments are inhaled or ingested. For normal printing with prepared inks, the main hazard is accidental ingestion of pigments due to eating, drinking or smoking while working, or inadvertent hand to mouth contact.
- The classic example of a toxic inorganic pigment in printmaking is lead chromate (chrome yellow). Lead pigments can cause anemia, gastrointestinal problems, peripheral nerve damage (and brain damage in children), kidney damage and reproductive system damage. Other inorganic pigments may be hazardous also, including pigments based on cobalt, cadmium, and manganese.
- Some of the inorganic pigments, in particular cadmium pigments, chrome yellow and zinc yellow (zinc chromate) may cause lung cancer if inhaled.
- Lamp black and carbon black may contain impurities that can cause skin cancer.
- Chromate pigments (chrome yellow and zinc yellow) may cause skin ulceration and allergic skin reactions.
- The long-term hazards of the modern synthetic organic pigments have not been well studied.
Obtain manufacturer MSDSs on all pigments. This is especially important because the name that appears on label of the color may or may not truly represent the pigments present.
- Use the safest pigments possible. Avoid lead pigments.
- Avoid mixing dry pigments whenever possible. If dry pigments are mixed, wear a NIOSH-approved N95 particulate dust respirator (medical clearance, training and Fit testing required before wearing a respirator).
In general, organic solvents are one of the most underrated hazards in art materials. Organic solvents are used in printmaking to dissolve and mix with oils, resins, varnishes, and inks; and to clean plates, rollers, tools, and even hands.
- Repeated or prolonged skin contact with solvents can cause defatting of the skin and resultant dermatitis. Many solvents can also be harmful through skin absorption.
- Inhalation of solvent vapors is the major way in which solvents are harmful. High concentrations of most solvents can cause dizziness, nausea, fatigue, loss of coordination, or coma. This can also increase the chances for mistakes and accidents.
- Many solvents are toxic if ingested. Swallowing an ounce of turpentine can be fatal.
- Most solvents, except chlorinated hydrocarbons, are also either flammable or combustible.
- Obtain the MSDS on all solvent products used. Use the least toxic solvent possible. For example, replace the more toxic methyl alcohol with denatured alcohol or isopropyl alcohol.
- Use adequate ventilation.
- Keep minimum amounts of solvents on hand and purchase in smallest practical container size. Large amounts of solvents or solvent-containing materials should be stored in a flammable storage cabinet.
- Never store solvents or solvent-containing materials in food or drink containers. Always label containers.
- Do not allow smoking, open flames or other sources of ignition near solvents.
- Have a class B or ABC fire extinguisher in the area.
- Wear gloves when handling solvents to avoid skin contact. In particular do not use solvents to clean ink off hands. Baby oil is a good substitute.

Chuck Harmon is the last guy Cecil Johnies' pitchers want to see coming to the plate with the game on the line.
A catcher for Crouse Construction in the Maryland Semi-Pro Baseball League, Harmon has spoiled or nearly spoiled Johnies' victory plans more than once.
Last year, playing for the Parkville Colts, Harmon had six RBI, including a grand slam, as the Colts nearly knocked the Johnies out ofthe divisional playoffs. The Colts dropped that final game in the best-of-five series, 11-10, and the Johnies went on to win the league championship.

Am Samoa Humane Society holds highly successful clinic
One may not think of Mahatma Gandhi as an animal activist, but his keen observation on society extended to our domesticated four-legged friends when he noted, "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
With that in mind, it is good to know that the American Samoa Humane Society (ASHS) is active, alive and well, and collaborating wherever possible with groups from around the world who have been supportive by bringing humane practices and treatment to the animal population of the territory.
The last two weeks of March were exceedingly busy for the local group, who teamed up with international organization Animal Balance, to host a high volume sterilization clinic. It was done with the assistance of ASG Department of Agriculture (DOA) American Samoa Power Authority (ASPA), Humane Society International (HSI) and the Animal Protection Society (APS) in Apia.
Animal Balance is a global group of volunteer veterinarians and technicians who organize high volume community-based sterilization campaigns to combat the over population of cats and dogs by conducting spay and neuter clinics in remote and underserved areas.
The goal, said founder Emma Clifford, was to spay and neuter 400 animals during this clinic.
This is the third trip to the territory for the group, which began in the Galapagos Islands, and now works worldwide from Oregon. According to Clifford, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Summerlee Foundation and the Edith Goode Trust generously provided grants to fund the medicines and supplies which the Animal Balance team was able to bring for the two week outreach.
Ten Animal Balance volunteers also personally financed their own transportation from the mainland and donated their time, professional experience and compassion for the animals of American Samoa.
Working at the ASPA compound in Tafuna during the first week, and at the DOA compound in the Industrial Park during the second week, the ASHS volunteers worked alongside the visiting team to make it possible for the vets and para vets to accomplish their goal, which did exceed the 400 mark, according to one of the clinic coordinators, Kelly Anderson Tagarino.
The vast majority of animals cared for were dogs, but a good number of cats also received treatment in the final tally.
Working from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day, their time and expertise was donated to spay and neuter our animals free of charge, in order to prevent an over-abundance of kittens and puppies. Considering the fate of unwanted animals here who find themselves eventually homeless, wandering the streets, disease ridden and hungry, it is a kind thing after all, said one pet owner.
Karen Kitiona, Safety Coordinator at ASPA who was assigned to work with the clinic, said, "I've always had a thing for animals, but this clinic gave me a whole new view of the situation. The homeless dogs I see on my way home... I want to help all of them. I have never been in the midst of a clinic like that... it was a real MASH unit, everyone with a job to do."
She said that she really enjoyed helping with translations for some of the older people, and helping everyone understand the "aftercare" points when they took their animals home from surgery.
"I want to be there when we take the clinic out to the villages." she told Samoa News.
"But we also need to address this at the highest levels of government, so that we can get this problem under control" she added.
Dr. Ikumi Ishikawa a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine currently stationed in Apia, was brought over to assist with the sterilization clinic. She gave further training to the para-vets at the Tafuna clinic the following week, which currently has three full time para-vets, and one apprentice.
According to Kelly Coladarci, program manager for HSI and another member of the team, 'the local para-vets are doing amazing work given the limited resources that they have." She noted that she would be looking into possible areas for continuing education, since the long term solution for the territory is to have home grown vets who want to live here and take care of the needs of the animal population.
She reiterated the sentiments of Kitiona, saying that this needs to be addressed at the highest levels, and she was very encouraged by her meetings with DOA director Mel Purcell and deputy director, Peter Gurr.
"The challenges are great, but you do have resources and good people here" Coladarci said, adding that regulations are vague as to the responsibility of animal control. She intends to provide DOA, who are willing to take the responsibility, with a working model and sample laws which they can then present to the legislature.
She said that while she is aware of the tremendous challenges we face, she left "very optimistic" that things will move forward. Political will, she said, is what will make this happen.
Cheryl Morales Polataivao, who co-coordinated the clinic this year with Tagarino, noted that while the first week was devoted to spaying and neutering, the second week continued with spay and neuter surgeries, while also addressing tumor removals and cancer treatments, with Dr. Ikumi teaching the DOA staff the latest procedures and methods. She said that some animals are receiving chemotherapy treatment, which is something which we cannot even do for our human population here.
"Every clinic owes its success to our tireless volunteers, our dedicated government partners, the visiting teams of volunteer Veterinarians and individual donors. Without their help, this would not have been possible," said Polataivao.

Shaping the Pulls
After cutting out the pulls, rough-shape them on your oscillating-spindle sander.
Sanding with Feeling
We had a saying in the house-finishing business, "Caulk to fit, paint to match." I've changed it a bit to fit here, "Cut to shape, sand to finish." Yeah, I know, lame. But, the idea is sound. Cutting to shape is logical. Sanding to finish means: final shaping with finesse and sanding so the look is unblemished and the feel is smooth and silky. Hmm, that still sounds lame…
An otherwise plain-sawn face reveals its character. As the edge is shaped, the face layer seems to be coming out of the wood.

Here's how the back cutouts appear when finished.

ESCONDIDO, Calif. – A fire blackened about a dozen acres of brush off the southbound side of Interstate 15 near the Lawrence Welk Resort Monday and prompted authorities to close three lanes in the area.
Callers reported flames and smoke from the roadside fire between Gopher Canyon and Deer Springs road shortly after 9:30 a.m., which led to the closure of three southbound lanes, according to Cal Fire and the California Highway Patrol.
Cal Fire Battalion Chief Nick Schuler said fire crews had stopped the blaze from spreading further by about 11 a.m., and no area structures were threatened.
Firefighters planned to remain at the scene for several hours, said Schuler, who said heavy southbound freeway traffic was expected.

West Ham linked with audacious Fabregas movePublished November 08, 2016
Cesc Fabregas' time at Chelsea could be drawing to a close, with media reports suggesting that West Ham are one of a number of clubs interested in signing the midfielder during the January window.
Despite an impressive showing in the recent EFL Cup win over Leicester, the former Barcelona man has been unable to force his way into Antonio Conte's upwardly mobile side and could look to secure a move away from Stamford Bridge over the winter.
The Daily Mirror writes that with Chelsea keen to offload Fabregas on loan in January, West Ham could be set to take advantage of a deal that would see the Stamford Bridge outfit subsidise the player's wages in return for assurances over game-time.
West Ham - the lad in the nightclub attempting to pull the hottest girl without a chance (again)... I applaud ambition - but Fabregas?— Georgie Bingham (@georgiebingham) November 8, 2016
Such a tempting offer has alerted other clubs to the 29-year-old's situation too, although West Ham's pursuit of potential replacements for the heavily-courted Dimitri Payet and their London location may make them an attractive bet.
Fabregas has three years to run on his current contract in west London, and is believed to be keen on seeing out the deal if possible.

Countries export a wide range of things, from consumer products, to raw materials, to energy resources. Generally speaking, the largest industrialized nations export the most, while smaller nations and less developed nations export relatively very little. Additionally, most countries try to find a balance between their exports and their imports, so when they export a great deal, they also tend to import a great deal as well.
The easiest way to measure which countries export the most is simply to look at the total value of their combined exports. The total value of all exports in the world in 2010 was estimated to be roughly $15.18 trillion US Dollars (USD). Of this, China takes the top spot among individual nations, with a combined export value of about $1.581 trillion USD. Germany comes next, with a combined export value of $1.303 trillion USD. The United States comes in third, exporting $1.289 trillion USD. These top three nations export $4.173 trillion USD worth of goods, or a little less than one-third of the world's entire export value.
These numbers are especially interesting when compared to the total value of these nations' imports. The United States is the largest importer in terms of value, with total imports of around $1.935 trillion USD. China follows, with imports of $1.327 trillion USD, and Germany comes in third, with imports worth $1.099 trillion USD. This means these three countries import roughly $4.361 trillion USD worth of goods, just about equal to their total exports, but with a higher amount carried by the United States.
The other top ten exporting countries are Japan with $730.1 billion USD, France with $517.2 billion USD, the Netherlands with $486.7 billion USD, South Korea with $464.3 billion USD, Italy with $448.4 billion USD, the United Kingdom with $410.2 billion USD, and Russia with $400.1 billion USD. These other seven countries have combined exports worth around $3.457 trillion USD, still less than the total of the top three. This also means that the top ten exporting countries export around $7.63 trillion USD, or about half of the world's total exports. The top ten importing countries are very similar, with Japan, France, the UK, Italy, the Netherlands, and South Korea all appearing on both lists, and with Canada beating out Russia as a major importer.
The amount that these top nations export is even more staggering when compared to the nations at the bottom of the list. Countries like Tuvalu and Naura, for example, which are small island nations with low populations, export less than 1/100th of 1% of what a nation like the United States exports. Nauru, for example, had total exports of only $64,000 USD in 2005. Even fairly large nations may have almost no exports, if their economies are impoverished enough. Rwanda, for example, had exports in 2010 of only $234.2 million USD, or around 1/2000th the exports of a country like the Netherlands.
Exports can also be looked at in terms of amounts per capita, which helps to balance out the differences in population. Germany, for example, exports $1.303 trillion USD, and has a population of around 81.4 million people, making for per capita exports of around $16,000 USD. China, on the other hand, exports $1.581 trillion USD worth of goods, but has a population of 1.33 billion people, making for per-capita exports of only about $1,200 USD. The United States has exports valued at $1.289 trillion USD, and a population of around 313 million people, making for per capita exports of around $4,100 USD.

I feel bad for some African nations because they don't seem to benefit from imports-exports as much as other nations.
It makes most sense for African nations to export to one another because they are so close geographically. The issue is that many of them produce the same things like coffee for example. But people cannot live on coffee.
Post 4
@recapitulate-- Yea, but economics doesn't really work that way. There are countries that have policies like that, import-export restricted countries that prefer to be as self-sufficient as possible. But this is bad for the economy and their economy doesn't grow as fast as other countries that do more trade.
Trade is good because it makes more sense to buy something from someone who can produce it cheaper than we can. It also makes sense to export to countries who cannot produce the goods we have. This is called comparative advantage in economics.
Comparative advantage means that the country that has the lowest cost of producing a good should produce it and sell it to other countries. This way, all countries can enjoy all goods at the lowest cost possible.
That is why trade is good, and exportation is good.
Post 3
I'm not surprised to know that China exports the most products. Almost everything at stores seem to be from China nowadays.
Post 2
@recapitulate, I suppose the issue is that people have become used to having whatever they want- bananas in winter time, coffee and chocolate all the time, fish from around the world. To curb our importing and exporting, we have to consider as a society how much we really need, which is a complicated thing to do.
Post 1
I worry that the United States important exports too much. It just seems that some things, such as food, would be more practically grown, harvested, and eaten at home as much as possible. While I know we cannot grow everything we want or need, I think more effort needs to be made.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!
