One day they might bother to put a price in a review !!!!!
The Normandie jacket is part of Campagnolo's 'Heritage Collection' which according to the Italian cycling deities is their range of clothing for the perfect harmony between past and future, tradition and innovation, the cyclist, the bike and his surroundings. Despite all that it's a very simple jacket, in essence it's just an extremely technical fleece unembarrassed by a glut of features; pockets are limited to two zipped front ones that are large enough to stuff chilly hands in when casually strolling about town, or for putting lock-keys and gloves in. And that's it, no chest pocket, no cycling rear pockets, nothing else.
The collar is cut high, but there isn't an on-trend zip-dock so the full-length waterproof zip can scratch against the chin, but on the positive side there is a tiny headphone-wire loop inside the collar, even if there isn't a corresponding internal pocket to slip your chosen media device in. Ho-hum. The ends of the sleeves have an extra lycra cuff inside that forms a snug fit round the wrist, effectively blocking any frigid wind from whistling up the arms. This is great. A Campagnolo liveried silicone gripper runs around the hem to keep the jacket snug to the waist.
A large reflective swirly Campagnolo logo on the rear between the shoulder blades and reflective bands on the arms will light you up in headlights, from well over 100 metres away apparently, as to a lesser extent will the hoops of horizontal stitching around the arms and body, not so much the teeny reflective winged Campag logo on the chest though.
But the Normandie isn't so much about features, it's about the fabric, which is lucky as it's very good. Made from Exchler e3+ it, like many, claims to be the holy trinity of waterproof, windproof and highly breathable. Layer e1 is a Roubaix micro-fleece lining next to the skin to keep the body warm and dry, the e2 PU-laminated foam mid layer is the breathable membrane that guarantees regulation of body temperature and the outer layer is the wind resistant and water-repellent e3.
The Normandie jersey (is it a jersey, is it a jacket, is it an extreme cardigan?) is reassuringly thick, and with the rich Roubaix lining can easily be worn in nippy single-figure temperatures with just a t-shirt underneath, especially as it is as incredibly windproof as claimed, so there no need for bulking out against the fresh nor'easterly with extra barrier layers. It's plenty water resistant too and getting caught in wintry showers both riding into and walking around town it was more pleasing than it should be to see water beading happily on the smug e3 fabric.
Warm, belligerent to the wind and shy of water, perfect cycling attire then, as fit on the bike isn't 'racer taught', nor is it 'centerparcs baggy', the front ruckles up just a tiny bit and the arms go a bit sausagey but it doesn't flap about in the breeze and the arms reach down far enough and the back is long and doesn't ride up to leave a freezing kidney gap.
Although if you need to take lock/money/anything useful with you on the bike then you're out of luck with the Normandie, being pocket lite it needs to be accessorized with a bag of some sort if you want to carry the usual cycling ephemera. Off the bike it's stylishly understated enough to walk around in and go to places where non-cyclists gather without looking like a complete bike dweeb, catch yourself in the Gents toilet mirror and you might even say you look smart.
The Normandie is a great winter jacket for those times you want to, or have to, go somewhere by bike, but don't want to look like a cyclist too much when you get there so need technical warmth mixed with casual smarts. Incredibly warm, water resistant and breathable this Campag jacket has been on the top of the 'going out' clothing pile since the temperature dropped, and frequently worn without a bike anywhere in sight, it's that nice. Cosy enough to nip down the shops on a frosty morning on or off the bike for a pint of milk and with enough style and subtle safety features to go uncommented on as a cycling top at an evening social. I'd like to say it's worth the price but despite its almost constant frosty use and being two jackets in one - able to be worn as either a casual or a cycling jacket - it does feel just a little harsh on the wallet.
Colours – Black, Lake or Red.

Hmmmm. That's a lot of money for a cycle manufacturer jacket that you can't really wear on anything but commuter rides. I like Campag. I have a grey summer jersey which is lovely to wear and still going strong after 10 years but I've never seen any bike wear since from them that was functional, attractive - and value for money.
I suppose this item and others like it are meant to compete in the Rapha 'Nathan Barley' market but without establishing some excellent well known cycle training garments first it just comes across a bit wrong: like those daft branded fleeces and baseball caps that Mercedes sell in their showrooms.
3/10 Campagnolo. Must try harder.

2012 Nissan Versa
Nissan's entry-level car, the Versa, is offered in two bodystyles, a four-door sedan and a four-door hatchback. This year, the sedan was completely redesigned including an all-new platform that weighs about 68 kg (150 lbs) less, a revised 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine with an improved fuel injection system and continuously variable valve timing control system, and a next-generation continuously variable transmission (CVT). The four-speed automatic transmission that was also available in the 2011 Versa Sedan is no longer offered.
The Versa hatchback, with its standard 1.8-litre engine, remains the same for 2012.
Equipped with the optional CVT, the 2012 Versa Sedan offers a 13 per cent improvement in average fuel economy (L/100 km), now 6.7/5.2 city/hwy. That's not the best fuel economy in its class – the Hyundai Accent is marginally better – but it's still very good. Equipped with the standard five-speed manual transmission, the Versa Sedan's numbers are 7.5/5.8, slightly better than last year. For whatever reason (probably economic), Nissan chose not to upgrade the Sedan's standard five-speed manual to a six-speed manual like the one available in the Versa hatchback.

With its new aerodynamic, rounded contours, the new Versa Sedan looks bigger than the previous sedan, but is actually slightly smaller overall. Still, the 2012 Versa sedan has one of the biggest passenger cabins in its class, and the most rear legroom and the biggest trunk of any sedan in its price range. Only the new Chevrolet Sonic has slightly more passenger space.
Base Versa 1.6 S Sedans start at a penny-pinching $11,798, and as you might expect, it's pretty basic. The price includes 15-inch tires and steel wheels (up from 14-inchers in 2011), cloth seats, black dash, AM/FM/CD player with auxiliary input and two speakers, mini trip computer with average fuel consumption, tilt steering column, front and rear cupholders, digital clock, 12 volt power outlet. Standard safety features are generous though, including six standard airbags, active front head restraints, anti-lock brakes, traction and stability control. A notable omission is a centre rear head restraint.

Starting at $13,798, the Versa 1.6 SV Sedan is likely to be the more popular choice. To the base model, it adds standard air conditioning, upgraded fabric seats, height adjustable driver's seat, split folding rear seatbacks, power door locks and keyless entry, power windows with driver's auto-up/down feature, two more audio speakers, illuminated gauges, silver dash trim, and trunk light. Optional on the SV is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) ($1,300) and a Convenience package ($400) that includes hands-free connectivity, iPod interface system, steering wheel mounted audio, Bluetooth cell phone and cruise control functions. Our test car was so equipped with an as-tested price of $15,498 plus Freight and PDI of $1,467 and a/c tax of $100 for a total of $17,065.
The top Versa 1.6 SL Sedan for $16,298 adds a standard CVT, seven-spoke alloy wheels, fog lights, premium audio system with WMA/MP3 capability, steering wheel-mounted Bluetooth, audio and cruise control, iPod interface, variable intermittent wipers, front map lights, passenger vanity mirrors, and chrome inside door handles. An optional Technology Package ($800), available only on the SL, includes a navigation system with a five-inch colour touch-screen, XM satellite radio (subscription required) and USB connection for iPod and other devices.

Our mid-level Versa SV test car included the upgraded black and grey cloth seats and some extra silver trim on the vents, dash and steering wheel, but in general the dash plastics look hard and cheap and the controls have a bargain-basement appearance. The radio display is difficult to read, the door armrests are made of hard plastic and there's no centre armrest between the front seats or the rear seats. On the positive side, the backlit tachometer and speedo are easy to read, the heater and radio controls are easy to reach as is the shift lever, and the standard trip computer display between the gauges shows average fuel economy, current fuel consumption, and distance to empty. The fuel and coolant displays are rather tiny, though.
The driver's seat includes a manual height adjuster and the steering wheel tilts up and down, but it doesn't telescope in and out which can make it difficult for drivers with long legs and short arms. We found these seats comfortable enough for drives of an hour or less and the driver's visibility is good except to the rear because of the high trunklid. Rear parking sensors would be a welcome option on the Versa Sedan.

After a season-opening loss to a strong Coventry team, the Green girls bowling team has racked up eight straight wins to get its season back on track.
After losing several key varsity bowlers to graduation, this year looked like a building year for the Green girls bowling team. Yet after their initial loss to a strong Coventry team, the Bulldogs have racked up eight straight wins to get their season back on track.
For Coach Dave Cowley, the winning streak has been a pleasant surprise.
"We are young team," Cowley said, "but we are constantly improving. We are also keeping our streak of consecutive league victories going, with 50 straight wins in league competition."
With only a few seniors on the varsity roster, Cowley's starting five is comprised mostly of underclassmen. The team's young bowlers girls have stepped up and performed well so far.
Cowley has three returning lettermen to provide the core of his team. Senior Angela Bellissimo and juniors Madison Summers and Lisa Merryman are the Bulldogs' leaders on and off the lanes.
"Angela has really improved her game," Cowley said. "She has increased her ball speed. She came back this year with a whole new game."
Cowley considers one of his juniors a top-notch bowler and a strong contender in the postseason.
"Madison Summers is probably one of the best bowlers in the league and North Eastern Ohio and is our returning MVP from last year. We expect her to do very well this year," Cowley said.
Merryman, Cowley said, continues to improve and her performance has bolstered the team in matches. The veteran coach also praised Merryan for her positive attitude and ability to inspire her teammates. In the recent match against Hoban she scored the individual and match high scores.
Senior Julia Wolfe and sophomore Allison Eversoll have moved up to varsity this year and have made the adjustment without much of a drop in performance.
Cowley is also starting two freshmen, Brandi Wells and Jennifer Johnston. He noted that both have earned their starting spot and solidified their roles as a key part of a team with rising ambitions. Both average more than 150 pins per game, which their coach characterized as very good for freshmen.
"It has been a good season so far," Bellissimo said. "I really love to bowl, and still like all the girls. My average is around 150-160, so I could be doing better. The team is doing great."
Bellissimo said the team has great chemistry, which benefits them during tough times. Summers agreed and believes the loss to Coventry served to galvanize the team.
"So far it has been a pretty good year," Summers said. "We lost three seniors last year, but we are still bowling fantastic. Since loosing our first match we have been kicking butt. I think I have been bowling pretty good but there is still room for improvement."
Summers has established a goal of reaching the state tournament and believes she has the capability to do so with her team, or as an individual.
Cowley has been pleased so far with his team and its development over the first half of the season.
"The older girls have been trying to help the younger girls. As a team they are bonding pretty well. I think we have a bright outlook even though we are really young. We would like to win the league title and make it to the districts and state finals," Cowley said.

Group Test: Blu-ray Disc players
Fuel for your HD TV
Sony Playstation 3
The PS3 games console was Sony's secret weapon in its struggle with Toshiba's HD DVD format, as the PS3's built-in Blu-ray player allowed Sony to sneak its technology into millions of homes almost unnoticed. And while the PS3 is relatively expensive for a game console, it's also one of the cheapest Blu-ray players currently available.
However, there are no signs of Sony cutting corners on the Blu-ray features. The PS3 supports HDMI 1.3 as well as the picture-in-picture features of Blu-ray Profile 1.1, and even the online 'Live' features of Profile 2.0. You can also upgrade the PS3 in future if necessary, as the Ethernet network interface that lets you play games online also allows you to download updates for the Blu-ray system software.
Image and audio quality are both very good, although they can't quite match the better standalone players, such as the Panasonic BD50 or even the less expensive Sony S350. So while the PS3's combination of games console and Blu-ray player represents excellent value for money, people who want a good home-cinema system might prefer a dedicated, standalone player instead.

Panasonic DMP-BD55
Panasonic has always done a good job of keeping up with the latest developments in Blu-ray technology. Its earlier BD30 player was one of the first players to support Blu-ray Profile 1.1, and the BD55 adds support for the online 'Live' features of the latest Profile 2.0.
Needless to say, the BD55 supports HDMI 1.3 as well, and is also packed with audio features for home cinema buffs who want to go the whole hog with surround sound speaker systems. It outputs 7.1 digital audio over HDMI or through its analogue ports, and includes decoders for both Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio. There's even an SD card slot that lets you view photos stored on a memory card.
All these features might be irrelevant if the picture quality wasn't up to scratch, but we had absolutely no complaints about the BD55's sharp and vivid video playback. It was also pretty snappy when skipping forwards and backwards through movie chapters, and we liked the 'slow search' option on the remote control too. With excellent video quality and strong audio support, the BD55 is a good option for anyone that wants to start building an HD home cinema system.

CARMEL, N.Y. (AP) — Officials in Putnam County say they will reject a newspaper's request to release the names and addresses of residents with pistol permits — a move an open government advocate calls illegal.
County Clerk Dennis Sant said officials were meeting Wednesday to discuss legal options.
In December, the Journal News published online maps that allow viewers to see the names and addresses of pistol and revolver permit holders in neighboring Westchester and Rockland counties. The newspaper sought the records under the state Freedom of Information Law after the school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Critics called the publication an invasion of privacy; some said it could endanger permit holders.
"In Putnam County, I have over 11,000 pistol permit holders, and I refuse to put their lives and their families' lives in danger," Sant told The New York Times. "When these laws were conceived, there was no social media, there was no Google maps."
State Sen. Greg Ball referred to Journal News editors as "elitist eggheads" and called the decision to publish the maps "asinine," the newspaper reported.
"I thank God that Putnam County has a clerk with the guts to stand up and draw the line here in Putnam County," said Ball, who plans to appear Thursday at a news conference with county officials.
Robert Freeman, executive director of the state's Committee on Open Government, said the suburban county outside New York City would be violating state law if it withholds the information. "The name and address of any gun licensee are public," he said.
The newspaper stands by the project.
"We believe the law is clear that this is public information and the residents of Putnam County are entitled to see it," said Journal News President and Publisher Janet Hasson. "We're troubled that county officials have apparently switched their position since we first requested the information."
Freeman said the Journal News could appeal a denial, which would be heard within Putnam County government. If a second denial occurred, the newspaper could ask a judge to decide.
The Journal News, a Gannett Co. newspaper covering three counties in the Hudson Valley and operating the website lohud.com, ran an 1,800-word story headlined, "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in your neighborhood."
The story included comments from both sides of the gun rights debate and presented the data as answering the concerns of those who would like to know whether there are guns in their neighborhood.
Also on Wednesday, The Journal News reported that emergency officials responded to their office Wednesday afternoon after one of their employees opened an envelope in the mail containing a suspicious white powder.
The newspaper said there were no evacuations and the employee underwent decontamination procedures.
White Plains Public Safety Commissioner David Chong told the newspaper that preliminary tests determined the substance to be non-toxic.

What is the proper way to suspend an owner's voting rights?
The suspension of voting rights must be listed on the agenda of a properly posted and duly noticed Board of Directors meeting. After such meeting is held, the meeting minutes must specifically identify each unit which had its voting rights suspended. A letter must be sent to each owner whose rights were suspended after such meeting advising them of the suspension. The Board cannot pass a rule or make a policy that the voting rights of any owner can be suspended automatically without benefit of the noticed meeting, listing in the agenda and a letter after the fact outlined above. See: Leonardis v. Porto Fino Gardens Association, Inc. Arb. Case No. 2011-02-8981 (Chavis/Summary Final Order/August 18, 2011).
Moral of the story: do it right the first time. It's not that difficult to post notice of a meeting, create a proper agenda and prepare minutes and a letter to suspended owners.
Is an email submission of a candidate information sheet considered proper notice to the association?
In the case of Cohen v. Harbour House (Bal Harbour) Condominium Association, Arb. Case No. 2012-02-3139, an owner submitted a candidate information sheet (resume) in the body of an email sent to the association a few minutes before midnight on the deadline date. The association did not include the resume with the second notice of election as the association believed that the candidate information sheet was not properly submitted pursuant to statute. The arbitrator agreed and held that the rules require a candidate information sheet to be provided on a piece of paper no larger than 8 1/2 x 11, not in an email.
Moral of the story: if you are going to submit a candidate information sheet, make sure it is on a piece of paper in the required size and don't wait to the last minute to submit your information. In this case, had the owner submitted several days ahead of time, there would have been time to resubmit a proper form to be included in the election mailing.
Is an association required to enforce the provisions of its Declaration?
I am going to give you the typical lawyer response: It depends! In Heath v. Bear Islands Association, Inc., 706 So. 3d 39 (Fla. 4th DCA, 2011), the association's declaration provided that the association "may, but shall not be required to, seek enforcement of the Declaration." An owner sued the association to compel enforcement of the declaration. The trial court entered summary judgment for the association and the District Court of Appeal affirmed. The appellate court stated that the plain language of the declaration gave the association the discretion as to whether or not it would enforce the declaration.
Moral of the story: while it is not advisable for an association to ever ignore its governing documents, there may be certain documents that make enforcement discretionary as opposed to mandatory. In those circumstances, whatever decisions the Board makes must be uniform and the Declaration cannot be selectively enforced.

H-Pipe: These free-flowing, mandrel-bent Pypes H-pipes have reinforcing plates at
critical locations. They are available in 409 stainless steel or polished 304
stainless steel for years of high-powered performance. Since V8s fire unevenly,
exhaust exits in pulses rather than in a steady flow. While one pipe is filled
with pressure, the other pipe is relatively pressureless, but the connecting of
the two pipes in a siamese pattern allows pressure to be released to the other
side. This action allows the exhaust to pass through the pipe more quickly, and
this improved 'breathing' increases horsepower. Pypes H-pipes' high-quality,
exceptionally versatile design and performance make them proven winners when it
comes to bumping up the horsepower of your daily driver or race car. There's no
skimping on materials here. All crossovers include dual 409 stainless
reinforcement plates at the welds, where they are needed the most. All pipes are
mandrel-bent, allowing for the maximum flow of exhaust gasses, which boosts
acceleration. Fabricated using the highest quality materials, these smooth,
seam-coated, mandrel-bent, 409 stainless steel pipes resist corrosion and extend
the life of your system. The kits include the H-pipe with extended legs, cutout
covers, cover hardware, and installation hardware.

Look Kids, Train Wrecks Can Be Fun!
This show is exhausting. With the studio move and the mass cast exodus and the new Associate Head Writer and the endless, endless rumors about the show's impending demise or reduction or revamping, watching it feels very different from how it used to. I used to watch this show and just have opinions about the stories or the actors or the characters, but now it's hard to watch without thinking about all the behind-the-scenes drama. If we didn't know that Robert S. Woods is not leaving the show, Bo getting shot might've had more impact. If we didn't know that we really have seen the last of Kim and Rachel, we might be wasting time waiting for their returns. If we didn't know that three characters who are currently neck-deep in the current storylines are on their way out within days, we might be experiencing... excitement? Hope? Alas, it just feels like a train wreck, albeit a train wreck with some fun moments.
On the plus side, it's not all bad.
Blair has a ridiculously adorable new haircut and is having an actual grownup relationship with Eli, who actually seems to consider himself the lucky man he is (also: "Keep your hands off Elijah's spatula."). Kim and Clint's final scenes together were terrific. Fish finally has his baby and the Fish/Kyle/Sierra nuclear family couldn't be cuter. Bo and Nora and Matthew have had compelling moments. Tea is acting as an attorney instead of a Todd-addict. Starr is laying down some law.
I'm trying to hang on here. But so much of the good? Is about to end. Fish and Kyle and their hilariously precious baby? On their way out. What on earth is lacking in this storyline? Who thought it wouldn't be a great story to have these two young men negotiate life with an infant? It would be gold. And Roxy and her newly-discovered son Schuyler? Comparing notes on the messes they've made of their lives and standing together? This isn't material worth pursuing? So far their scenes together have been magic ("Yay team."), and while I remain spoiler-free and have no idea how this will unfold, I do know it won't be explored because he's leaving us. It's just... sad. I find myself weepy at these scenes and not because they're good or bad but because they're just so temporary.
Here's where I have to voice concern for Ilene Kristen. Roxy no longer has any biological ties to the canvas (once Schuyler is jettisoned in whatever unfortunate manner they so choose for him), she no longer has a best friend (once Kyle is written off -- next week?), so I worry. I will be crestfallen beyond all comprehension if they write her off. I've long found Roxy to be one of the most interesting characters on daytime television, which may sound strange but hear me out! She's a lush but not in a "social issues" kind of way -- they're not sending her to rehab, they're not putting her on the wagon, she's just an old gal who still likes to hit the sauce and sometimes it gets her into trouble and sometimes it doesn't. That's actually kind of brave writing to suggest that she is a better person than she used to be, but not because she's in recovery, just because. She's made a heap of reprehensible choices in her life but has a huge and resilient heart (and while that sounds like a few other women on this show, she doesn't have the built-in benefit of a huge and powerful family), and lives her life with utter humility. She does run the local beauty salon and official hotel-for-transients, so here's hoping that keeps her in town. Plus, if Roxy gets written off, so does Morris the beaver! This is not an option.
And what are we left with? Most of the scenes between Todd and Kelly feel like no one even wrote them. Seriously, it's like those beginning drama classes where you and your scene partner are told where the scene needs to begin and end and nothing else, and the improv ends up being a whole lot of repeated phrases and long pauses to fill the time.
As for Jessica, I just... I don't even... I mean what the motherfuck? I cannot. I confess to having thought this storyline was kind of cute at first -- reminding us of Cris and Jessica's former relationship, giving Cristian screentime, thereby giving Layla screentime, etc. But no. Instead, amnesiac Jessica is allowed to dart around town (and freaking high school!) as if she isn't mentally ill, scheming against Natalie and for Cristian, and is apparently not in any sort of psychiatric treatment. Her mother left town, her father is barely ever around (except to pick her up from school when she, you know, misses the bus), mostly it's just people talking to her as if she just needs to be talked into being an adult rather than be in serious therapy. Why are we watching a show about an adult man trying to win back the heart of a mentally ill woman who has the mind of a child? And a grown woman jealous that her boyfriend is spending time with said ill woman with the mind of a child? This has somehow turned into a story about "Is she going to pick Brody or Cris???" I mean... what? She's sick! Why is she in high school? Why does no one care about it other than being worried about the Cris/Brody issue? And why does this personality have absolutely jack shit to do with who Jessica was at 18? Is this yet another alter in her multiple personalities? Fess? Less? Big fat Mess.
Meanwhile, Jessica's brother-for-three-weeks Rex is now without parentage again, so I guess he'll have to use his superior P.I. skills to track down his real mother and father. OH I CANNOT WAIT. THAT'S GOING TO BE RIVETING.
But if that's not up your alley, you can watch recently-widowed Natalie moon over John McBain, a ship that has sailed so far away from her that apparently it's made its way completely around the surface of the Earth back to the other side of her. Didn't John drop Natalie for Marty? But now Natalie's the one that got away? Isn't Marty pregnant? Wouldn't a better storyline be to actually have John show some growth as a character and a human being and navigate his way through a real adult relationship and fatherhood? Or I suppose they could just recycle the same effing story they always do for this guy, who unfathomably is consistently being fought over by more than one awesome and beautiful woman.
I'm finding it difficult to stay optimistic. I don't mind the Langston storyline lately, I rather enjoy that she's behaving in a completely unsympathetic manner, all for a guy who's going to unapologetically give her exactly what she deserves in the end (there will be some glee in that karma), but not being bothered by a story is pretty faint praise. And this upcoming high school musical is going to be excruciating, isn't it? It is. It is literally going to hurt.
At least we have the occasional moment of glory. Destiny saying to Todd, "Back up off me, freakshow" did earn the show a tiny extension of good will from me. Really, if Todd has to be on my screen, any day that someone insults him appropriately is a good day for me.
And on that note, Destiny out!

The Federal Reserve is widely expected to focus on interest rates Wednesday, using its July statement to clear up any confusion over when the central bank plans to start raising rates.
Continue Reading Below
The Federal Open Market Committee, the 19-member board that sets most Fed policy, ends two days of meetings today and will release a statement at 2 p.m.
The Fed is not expected to announce any policy changes related to interest rates or its bond purchase program known as quantitative easing.
"At the end of the day, we're still in a slow growth economy with high unemployment and low inflation. And with that backdrop the Fed has no reason to start scaling back the $85 billion in monthly bond purchases," said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com.
After weeks of clarification on when and how the Fed will begin phasing out bond purchases, analysts believe Fed policy makers now want to make it clear to investors that the timing of bond purchase tapering is not connected to the timing for raising interest rates from their historic lows.
In other words, while the two policies are obviously related, they are not directly tied to one another in terms of how they will eventually be phased out.
The Fed statement today is likely to reiterate the central bank's often-stated message of recent months that bond purchases will only begin to be phased out once economic data show that the program is no longer needed. Specifically, the Fed is looking for a stronger U.S. labor market.
Economists are predicting that the U.S. added 184,000 jobs in July, fewer than the 195,000 added in June but enough to reduce the unemployment rate to 7.5% from 7.6% in June. The Labor Department will release the July jobs report on Friday.
Meanwhile, a government report on Wednesday showed GDP expanded at a faster-than-expected 1.7% annual rate in the second quarter, but the figure for the first quarter was revised down to 1.1% from 1.8%.
Markets "Addicted to Stimulus"
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has said the unemployment rate is too high and overall workforce participation too low for the Fed to end its easy money policies any time soon.
The Fed is also concerned with deflation, which occurs when prices fall because demand is weak and can lead to a long-term stagnant economy. The inflation rate currently stands at about 1%, well below the Fed's target rate of 2%.
Bernanke spooked markets last month when he suggested a hypothetical timeframe for when bond purchases might be tapered, suggested the process could begin as early as September and end by mid-2014. His comments sent stock markets plunging and bond yields surging.
Many investors mistakenly tied the phasing out of bond purchases to raising interest rates, which have sat near zero percent since December 20008. The thought was that if bond purchases were ending sooner rather than later, interest rates will be raised sooner rather than later as well.
Bernanke and his colleagues have spent the past six weeks vigorously attempting to clarify their message. And they will undoubtedly try again today in their statement.
"The market is addicted to Fed stimulus and investors shudder at the mere mention that eventually that stimulus is going to have to be scaled back," said McBride.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — An Indonesian court sentenced an Afghan man to six years in prison Wednesday for smuggling asylum seekers to Australia.
The East Jakarta District Court found Dawood Amiri guilty of violating Indonesia's immigration law and conspiring with an international syndicate that smuggled asylum seekers from Indonesia to Australia.
The court found he was involved in organizing the voyage of rickety boat of asylum seekers that sank on its way to Christmas Island last year, killing about 90 people. Another 110 people on the boat were rescued.
Prosecutors, who demanded a seven-year jail term, claimed that the defendant acknowledged that the boat was overloaded but did nothing to stop it from sailing to Australia.
In its verdict, the three-member panel led also ordered the 20-year-old to pay $79,000.
Amiri, who came to Indonesia about three years ago, was arrested in Jakarta days after the deadly voyage. He told police he was assisted by a Pakistani man who was among the survivors. He had earlier organized three other trips to Australia.
Indonesia has long been a transit point for people fleeing war-ravaged countries on their way to Australia.

Pentagon spokesman George Little recently talked about what the U.S. military accomplished during Hurricane Sandy: installed hundreds of generators, removed millions of gallons of water and tons of debris, and ferried millions of meals and gallons of fuel to affected areas.
And, he added, it did this while continuing to wage an 11-year-old war in Afghanistan.
"I point this out because if Congress does not enact defense authorization legislation for fiscal year 2013 in a timely fashion, it could seriously hamper our ability to plan and to operate," Little added.
The debate over the so-called "fiscal cliff" – the combination of spending cuts and tax increases if Congress and the White House fail to reach a deal – has been a high-stakes game of politics and budgeting.
Without an agreement by Jan. 2, nowhere will those cuts – called sequestration – be deeper than in the Department of Defense.
"If sequestration is allowed to go into effect, it'll be a disaster for national defense," Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said earlier this year. "It would be irresponsible not to reduce the budget and do our role in confronting the fiscal challenges facing this country."
Yet around the Pentagon it's an oft-repeated fact that the building, which plans for everything and every contingency, had not started planning until this week for what in a month could become a 9.4 percent cut to its current base budget. Pentagon Comptroller Robert Hale has said that sequestration would mean an expected $52 billion in cuts for fiscal 2013 – $500 billion over the next decade – and would be phased in over months.
Those short- and long-term cuts would be in addition to as-yet unapproved plans in the budget to cut $487 billion in the coming decade.
Because military personnel have been exempted, the likely results would be a drastic reduction in new contracts, as well as less money for training and maintenance. The exact impact is not known, but there are fears it could force the Pentagon to rethink the so-called "pivot" to focus on the Pacific.
In addition, civilian employees would face furloughs, and because purchases would be slashed, existing contracts would have to be reworked.
A study by the Federal Funds Information for States, a group that tracks federal spending, estimated that every state would lose, but by varying degrees. California, for instance, would lose about $4.2 billion in defense spending next year if a deal is not reached. Florida would lose $1.3 billion, while Kentucky would lose $500 million.
The cuts are described as across the board, but for practical reasons would not be.
"The war fighters overseas would be protected," said Lt. Col Elizabeth Robbins, a Pentagon press officer, "but at a cost to training stateside."
She said there are memories around the building of training exercises in the 1970s where troops went to the firing ranges, aimed their weapons "and said bang, because we didn't have the budget for ammunition. When there aren't enough funds to train, unit effectiveness is degraded and readiness becomes an illusion."
The Pentagon has insisted that it has no plan for sequestration and won't until it's officially the law.
"Essentially, what the Pentagon is saying by not having a plan is that you can't kill us because we're going to commit suicide first," said Anthony Cordesman, a longtime expert on American defense and security at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Cordesman said that the cuts are possible. The United States spends as much on defense as the next 13 biggest spenders combined. Given the fact that "the real problem isn't the deficit or the debt, but that revenue and spending don't match up," he said that deeper cuts than have been put into budgets are probably called for.
Speaking at Duke University in North Carolina last week, Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter acknowledged the need to rethink military spending "after almost 12 years of unrelenting and uninterrupted war."
But he said sequestration was not the way to accomplish that.
"It's not just the amount of dollars, it's the idiotic way that we are required to take those cuts," he said. "It was designed to be too horrible to ever be implemented. And so if it comes to pass, it will inevitably lead to the hollowing of our force, and everything we've tried to accomplish."
Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution's 21st Century Defense Initiative, said the sad reality is that the discussion is focused on how much to spend on defense, when it needs to be how best to spend to get the defense Americans want.
"How much further budget cutting, if any, is sensible?" O'Hanlon said. "I have my views, and others have theirs, but we aren't really having the debate on those terms now."

Butler's play will make it easier to part with Boozer, Deng
Jimmy Butler's temporary run as the Bulls' starting small forward will come to an end soon, with Luol Deng likely to return from a right hamstring strain on Monday against Charlotte.
But Butler as the full-time starter could be a more distant destiny. His presence in the lineup served as a reminder of the unsettled future of the Bulls' roster.
Here's a quick look at the numbers: In five games as a starter, Butler has averaged 14.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists, while hitting 21 of 22 free throws.
Those figures are inflated, considering Butler has played 45.2 minutes per game. Coach Tom Thibodeau wouldn't expect that sort of endurance from his small forward over a full season.
Well, probably not.
Here's another set of numbers that illustrates the tough circumstances faced by the Bulls this summer: The salaries of Deng, Derrick Rose, Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah, Kirk Hinrich and Taj Gibson add up to $70.86 million.
This year's luxury tax threshold was $70.3 million. And the rules change starting next season. It used to be, if a team was $12 million over the luxury tax threshold, it paid $12 million in tax.
The new collective bargaining agreement includes more prohibitive tax penalties. A team that's $12 million over the threshold would pay $21.25 million in taxes next season.
The long-term task faced by Bulls management is to build another championship contender around Rose. Butler probably fits into that group, along with Noah, Gibson, Euro future star Nikola Mirotic and whoever is selected with the Charlotte draft pick the Bulls got in the Tyrus Thomas trade.
There's not much chance the Bulls are going to pick up a future championship piece before the Feb. 21 trade deadline and this year's roster is starting to come around. Butler, Nate Robinson and Marco Belinelli have become reliable reserves. They'll never match the former Bench Mob, because it will probably be a long time before the NBA sees a backup center as good as Omer Asik.
So the changes are more likely to come this summer, but what will happen?
Rose isn't going anywhere and since the Bulls didn't hang on to Asik, Noah is almost certainly the long-term center. Using the amnesty clause on Carlos Boozer is likely to be considered.
If anyone is going to leave in a trade, it would probably be Deng, simply because he'll be heading into the final year of his contract at $14.3 million. The goal may be to acquire a few smaller-salaried pieces and give the roster more flexibility.
The Bulls are worried they could end up losing Belinelli this summer. He played well enough while filling in for Richard Hamilton that he's likely to command more than the $1.95 million the Bulls paid him this season.
Hamilton has a partially-guaranteed deal for next season and a contract option worth $5 million. That's very similar to the scenario that led the Bulls to send Kyle Korver to Atlanta last year.
The future is bright, as long as Rose recovers from his ACL tear, but still very uncertain for the Bulls. If your money is on Butler starting at small forward long-term, that's probably a good guess.
Another PG tears ACL:
Not long ago, a torn ACL seemed to be a relatively uncommon injury for an NBA player. Now it's almost an epidemic. The latest player to be lost to the knee injury is Boston's Rajon Rondo. It happened on Friday at Atlanta, but the team didn't immediately recognize the severity. He reportedly warmed up in preparation for Sunday's game against Miami, realized it was bad and went to get an MRI.
In less than a year, Derrick Rose, Minnesota's Ricky Rubio, New York's Iman Shumpert, Atlanta's Lou Williams and Rondo have gone down with ACL tears.
Rubio and Shumpert have returned, with Rose probably a couple weeks away. Fortunately for the NBA, recovery from these injuries isn't career-threatening. Thirty years ago, this would have caused an alarming loss of star power.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Officials say gunmen have broken into the home of two anti-al-Qaida militiamen north of Baghdad, killing seven family members.
A police officer says the gunmen were armed with pistols fitted with silencers when they stormed the house at dawn Wednesday in the town of Tarmiyah.
The officer says a man, two women and four children aged between six and 14 years old were killed. The town is located about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Baghdad.
A health official confirmed the death toll. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media.
Since the height of Iraq's insurgency, Sunni Arabs who joined forces with the U.S. military to fight al-Qaida have been favorite targets for Sunni militants who consider them traitors.

This species is widespread and common.There has been an estimated 19% decline in mangrove area within this species range since 1980. Mangrove species are more at risk from coastal development and extraction at the extremes of their distribution, and are likely to be contracting in these areas more than in other areas. It is also likely that changes in climate due to global warming will further affect these parts of the range. There are overall range declines in many areas due to habitat loss or extraction, but not enough to reach any of the threatened category thresholds. This species is listed as Least Concern.
|Range Description:
|This species is found in South Asia in Brunei Darussalam, China, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam. In Australasia, it is found in Northwest Australia, Northeast Australia, and Papua New Guinea. In East Africa and the Middle East, this species is found in British Indian Ocean Territory, Kenya, Madagascar, Maldives, Mozambique, Seychelles, Somalia, South Africa, Tanzania.

|This species is widespread and common throughout its range. Although there is no species specific population information, it can be assumed that there are areas of population decline throughout its range due to coastal development.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This back mangrove species is found most often in the upstream zones in the mid to high intertidal region. It can also be found along sandy beaches. It is a colonising species and grows relatively quickly, and is shade intolerant with a maximum porewater salinity of 78 ppt (Robertson and Alongi 1992).
|Terrestrial; Marine
|Generation Length (years):
|Use and Trade:
|This species is sometimes harvested to produce medium quality charcoal and fuel in Africa (although is not preferred species). It is used for house posts and fencing (live and dead branches) in the Philippines. It is also used for construction and furniture, and the bark is used for tanning.
|Major Threat(s):
This species is particularly sensitive to siltation from upstream, land use changes, and erosion. Although local estimates are uncertain due to differing legislative definitions of what is a 'mangrove' and to the imprecision in determining mangrove area, current consensus estimates of mangrove loss in the last quarter-century report an approximately 19% decline in mangrove areas in countries within this species range since 1980 (FAO 2007).
Sea level rise is a major threat, especially to back mangroves that have no area in which to expand. Mangrove species with a habitat on the landward margin may be particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise if owing to coastal development their movement inland is blocked. Species that occur at the landward edge, or upstream in tidal estuaries include Nypa fruticans, Heritiera littoralis, Xylocarpus granatum, Lumnitzera racemosa, Lumnitzera littorea, Sonneratia caseolaris, Sonneratia lanceolata, and Bruguiera sexangula.
All mangrove ecosystems occur within mean sea level and high tidal elevations, and have distinct species zonations that are controlled by the elevation of the substrate relative to mean sea level. This is because of associated variation in frequency of elevation, salinity and wave action (Duke et al. 1998). With rise in sea-level, the habitat requirements of each species will be disrupted, and species zones will suffer mortality at their present locations and re-establish at higher elevations in areas that were previously landward zones (Ellison 2005). If sea-level rise is a continued trend over this century, then there will be continued mortality and re-establishment of species zones. However, species that are easily dispersed and fast growing/fast producing will cope better than those which are slower growing and slower to reproduce.
In addition, mangrove area is declining globally due to a number of localized threats. The main threat is habitat destruction and removal of mangrove areas. Reasons for removal include cleared for shrimp farms, agriculture, fish ponds, rice production and salt pans, and for the development of urban and industrial areas, road construction, coconut plantations, ports, airports, and tourist resorts. Other threats include pollution from sewage effluents, solid wastes, siltation, oil, and agricultural and urban runoff. Climate change is also thought to be a threat, particularly at the edges of a species range. Natural threats include cyclones, hurricane and tsunamis.
|Conservation Actions:
|There are no conservation measures specific to this species, but its range may include some marine and coastal protected areas. This species is used for a number of services and is sometimes planted along dykes of ponds.

1. Make Sure You Meet the Requirements
If you're a senior with at least a 3.50 GPA, you've earned at least one varsity letter in an MHSAA sport, and you're enrolled at an MHSAA member school, you're eligible to enter the scholarship competition.
2. Don't Wait Until the Last Minute
There are multiple parts to the application package, so don't get caught procrastinating.
3. Know How the Applications are judged
4. The Application Packet
STAPLE together the four parts of the application. DO NOT seal Letters of Recommendation inside of envelopes. DO NOT attach certificates, awards or transcripts of any type to your application. DO NOT use folders, covers, binders or clips -- these will all be disassembled and we'll use a simple staple before sending to the judges. NOTE ABOUT STAPLING ORDER: Please staple your application in the following order – Applicant Information Cover Sheet, Extra-Curricular Activities Form, Short Answer Questions, Essay, and Letters of Recommendation.
5. So, Who Wins the Award?
Thirty-two (32) student-athletes will win a $1,000 scholarship. A graduated scale based on MHSAA enrollment classification will be used to allocate the first 30 scholarships. In Class A, six boys and six girls will be selected as winners. Four boys and four girls from Class B schools will be selected as scholarship recipients, while three boys and three girls in Class C and two boys and two girls from Class D schools will receive the $1,000 scholarship. The last two at-large scholarships are designated for minority candidates and will be chosen after the first 30 scholarship recipients have been selected.
Schools are only allowed to submit a limited number of applications. This limit is based on the same graduated scale that determines the first 30 scholarship winners. For instance, since only 4 Class B girls will win the award, Class B schools are only allowed to submit applications from 4 girls.
6. Scholar-Athlete Award Timeline
Class of 2017
1. Determine how you will nominate students from your school. Schools are limited to the number applications submitted based on enrollment classification. Many schools allow ALL eligible students to enter, and then judge the applications internally using the MHSAA judging formula (40-30-20-10) to determine which applications to forward to the MHSAA.
2. Direct students to the MHSAA Web site to download and fill out the application.
3. Collect applications from students and complete the Scholar-Athlete Award applicant list in the password-protected area of the MHSAA Web site (the link is on the left, under School Administrator Services).

NEW YORK (AP) — New York's top police officer says Nik Wallenda's hope of tightrope walking between the city's most famous skyscrapers just isn't going to fly.
NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly was asked on Monday about the possibility of Wallenda, a member of the famous "Flying Wallendas" circus family, walking a tightrope between the Chrysler and Empire State buildings.
The daredevil completed a walk over a gorge near the Grand Canyon on Sunday, walked over Niagara Falls a year ago, and was eyeing New York City for his next death-defying attempt.
"I would say no," Kelly said. "I think it's dangerous."
He added that any attempt could be hazardous to those on the ground underneath in case of a fall.
"Here, there's thousands of New Yorkers who certainly could be put at risk. So I don't think it would be wise in this city," Kelly said.
Wallenda walked a quarter mile Sunday without a safety net or harness, 1,500 feet above the Little Colorado River Gorge. The 22-minute walk on a 2-inch cable was watched by people all over the world on television and computer.
He said Sunday night it was too early to say when any New York plan would materialize, but added that he wouldn't do it if the law didn't allow it.
"I'm a man of integrity and a man of my word. If I say I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it, and I'm going to honor everybody that's involved," Wallenda said.
Wallenda, 34, is a seventh-generation high-wire artist from a family with generations of experience with high-profile, high-risk stunts. He grew up performing with his family and dreamed of crossing the Grand Canyon since he was a teenager. Sunday's stunt took place a year after he traversed Niagara Falls earning a seventh Guinness world record.
Wallenda's great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, fell during a performance in Puerto Rico and died at the age of 73. Several other family members, including a cousin and an uncle, have perished while performing wire walking stunts.

Orberg in LLPSI Cap XLI scibit:
Hercules in ea loca, Geryone monstro interempto, boves mira specie egisse narratur ac prope Tiberim fluvium, quem prae se armentum agens nando transierat, fessus via in herba recubuisse.
Hercules, in these parts, Geryon the monster having been killed, was said to have drove the magical, beautiful cattle and near the river Tiber, across which he had driven them, swimming, to lie exhausted amongst the grass on the road.
Not sure about 'fessus via in herba...'
