Christian Marazzi is one of the group of Italian Post-Fordist theorists along with Antonio Negri, Paolo Virno and France Beradi. Capital and Language first published in Italian in 2002 is the first of Marazzi's works to be published in English.
The starting point of the economic analysis presented by Marazzi in this text is that
Begining in the second half of the 1980's, the prevailing analyses of the crisis of Fordism and the transition to post-Fordism were based in socio-economics, with particular attention to modifications in the nature of work and the production of goods, starting in the second half of the 1990's the explosion of the securities market on a global scale forced everyone to update their analyses by paying more attention to the financial dimension of the paradigmatic shift. p13
The key here according to Marazzi is that whereas previously savings had been concentrated in household economies – property and goods – in the New Economy the collective savings and pension schemes of regular people became bound to the success of the global financial market, whose continuing growth their own financial future was tied to. As such, whereas within the old economy the workers saw Capital as an exterior enemy which they could organise and resist, within the New Economy the masses identify success of the financial markets with their own personal economic success.
With their savings invested in securities, workers are no longer separated from capital as they are, by virtue of its legal definition, in the salary relationship. As shareholders they are tied to the ups and downs of the markets and so they are co-interested in the "good operation" of capital in general. p37
The central thesis Marazzi presents in Capital and Language then, is that
In the Post-Fordist economy the distinction between the real economy, in which material and immaterial goods are produced and sold, and the monetary-financial economy, where the speculative dimension dominates investor decisions, must be totally reconceived… In the New Economy language and communication are structurally and contemporaneously present throughout both the sphere of the production and distribution of goods and the sphere of finance, and it is for this very reason that changes in the world of work and modification in the financial markets must be seen as two sides of the same coin. p14
Marazzi goes on to examine some of the effects of public opinion (through the lens of behavioural psychology) and confidence upon markets, and comes to the conclusion that "The theoretical analysis of financial market operations reveals the centrality of communication, of language, as a creative force." (p27) As such, the creative and productive work done by language and communication demarcate them as no longer constituting a societal superstructure, distinct and separate from the productive sphere of material production. Key to this is the performative abilities of language, the capacity not merely to utilise language to describe actions or events, but the capacity to actively perform tasks through linguistic utterances.
Another area which Marazzi theorises, which has particular pertinence to media studies, is that of the attention economy. Quoting Davenport and Beck (2001), Marazzi states that
"In the New Economy, 'What is scarce is human attention, the width of the telecommunications band is not a problem, the problem is the width of the human band.' The technological revolution has certainly enlarged access to information enormously, but the limitless growth in the supply of information conflicts with a limited human demand, which is all the more limited the more work time reduce the attention time we are able to dedicate to ourselves and the people with whom we work and live.
We are in a situation of information glut, of an excess, an overload of information. The Sunday edition of the New York Times contains more information than all of the written material available to readers in the 15th Century. Back then the problem was not finding the time to read, but finding enough reading material to fill up the time. Information was a sellers' market and books were thought to be more precious than peasants.'(p64/65)
Marazzi contends that while the growth of networked telecommunications technologies has exploded at an exponential rate since the 1980's, meaning that for hundreds of millions of people across the world today that access to information is no longer a problem, and the traditional models based on scarcity of information are now null and void, 'the fact is that on the demand side for goods and services, attention (and its allocation) has taken the place of the physical raw materials of the industrial economy. It is a scarce and extremely perishable good… A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.' (p66) Furthermore, Marazzi argues that many of the changes to the structure of work which have taken place in the New Economy actively contribute to this attention poverty, as the eight-hour working day is extended through for example ICT technologies which enable workers to be on call 24 hours a day, and as the Fordist notion of a stable job for life is undermined, forcing workers to devote attention time to looking for work instead of concentrating on consuming informational goods and services. This leads Marazzi to contend that
The disproportion between the supply of information and the demand for attention is a capitalistic contradiction, an internal contradiction of the value form, of its being simultaneously commodity and money, a commodity increasingly accompanied by information and money-income, distributed in such as not to increase effective demand. The financialisation of the 1990's generated additional incomes but, beyond distributing them unequally, it created them by destroying occupational stability and salary regularity, thus helping to exacerbate the attention deficit of worker consumers by forcing them to devote more attention to the search for work than to the consumption of intangible goods and service. p141
As the current economic form of financial capitalism contributes to a poverty of attention, Marazzi contends that it is crucial to experiment with social formations which instead reduce this attention shortage, giving producer/consumers more time to both create and digest information, thereby both creating value in terms of a cultural commons, but also enhancing the general intellect. Such a notion can be understood to resemble the argument made by Hardt and Negri in Empire and Commonwealth and recently pledged on a national level in the UK by the Green Party for a universal citizen's income.
In conclusion then, Capital and Language presents an interesting and innovative approach to understanding the main changes which society has undergone since the 1980's from a socio-economic perspective which foregrounds the importance of language in the contemporary form of capitalism. In particular it provides thought-provoking analyses on the changes to 20th century notions of base and superstructure, on the genesis and contradictions of the attention economy, and how the financialisation of savings and pensions involves workers in the wider capitalist system to a far greater extent than previous manifestations of capitalism.

HSS seals for metals
Reinforced, all-rubber protection for big bearings
Providing the stiffness of a cotton fiber-reinforced seal with none of the drawbacks, HSS seals for metals deliver robust, proven protection for large-size bearings in mill stands.
Fabric-reinforced rubber seals can allow multiple leakage paths and entry points for water, scale, and other contaminants. They can also shrink when exposed to moisture or water, further increasing the risk of leaks, and eventually, bearing and roll neck failures. All-rubber HSS seals eliminate these fabric-related risks, providing mills with a cost-effective, easy-to-install sealing solution.
Optimized, fabric-free design
Featuring a high performance sealing lip design, HSS seals are available in a range of rubber materials, including NBR, HNBR and FKM. A harder grade rubber material at the outside diameter makes HSS seals more resistant to high temperatures and wear, and provides improved stability during operation and installation. An extremely smooth outer diameter surface enables excellent static sealing and accommodates housing bore imperfections.

Gingrich Health-Care Group Files for Bankruptcy
By Danny Yadron and John D. McKinnon
Newt Gingrich's well-known health-care think tank has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, according to federal court filings, shuttering the most profitable of Gingrich's former enterprises and potentially putting a big piece of his net worth in jeopardy.
Gingrich Group LLC, whose main business was the Center for Health Transformation, charged clients as much as $200,000 in membership fees for advice on health policy. On Wednesday, it disclosed that it has less than $100,000 in assets and carries up to $10 million in debt. The group's attorney declined to comment.
Gingrich divested himself from the group in May as he prepared to launch his White House bid. But the candidate still drew much of his net worth from a promissory note from Gingrich Group, worth at least $5 million, owed to Gingrich Productions Inc., according to federal filings. The same filings show Gingrich is worth at least $6.7 million. . .

The BBC spent some time in Jonesboro, Ark., where 1984 Olympian and USATF hall of famer Earl Bell runs the training program that produced two-thirds of America's pole vaulters in London. Another familiar face around the facility is Earl's father William, who just turned 90, and can still soar with the best of them.
William Bell has held pole vault world records in the age groups 75-79, 80-84, and 85-89. (Despite what the video says) Bell doesn't yet have the recognized record in the 90-94 age group. But this vault of 7'2" would shatter the current record by more than a foot.

Overland Bridge replacement on I-95 begins
Project expected to last until mid-2016
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Florida Department of Transportation on Monday started a $227 million project to replace the series of overpasses that carry traffic over Hendricks, Kings and Montana avenues along 2.3 miles of Interstate 95 near downtown Jacksonville.
Known as the Overland Bridge project, it will improve traffic flow along the I-95 corridor just south of the Fuller Warren Bridge, according to transportation officials. I-95 will be widened to provide an additional lane for southbound traffic. A full service interchange will be built on I-95 and Philips Highway/Atlantic Boulevard. This will provide an exit for northbound traffic on I-95 going to Philips Highway and Atlantic Boulevard.
Additional capacity on I-95 will occur by adding a two-lane parallel service road for northbound traffic and reconstructing the existing southbound lanes. The south end of the Fuller Warren Bridge will be widened to provide a two-lane exit ramp to a southbound parallel service road. The elevated roadway on I-95 will be replaced from south of the Fuller Warren Bridge to north of Emerson Street. The I-95 overpass over the Florida East Coast Railway railroad near Baptist Medical Center will also be replaced.
Access to and from the Acosta and Main Street bridges will be improved. The traffic pattern for vehicles exiting the Main Street Bridge traveling into the San Marco area will be improved. The direct access to Hendricks Avenue from the southbound Main Street Bridge will be permanently closed. Southbound traffic on Main Street Bridge will exit at Riverplace Boulevard or Prudential Drive to reach San Marco via Hendricks Avenue.
The project should be finished by mid-2016, officials said. As construction on the project progresses, traffic will use parallel roadways, which upon completion of the I-95 bridge structures will remain and provide additional capacity for traffic between the Fuller Warren Bridge and north of Emerson Street. Lane closings are allowed between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Pile driving will occur during daytime hours.
The overall project cost is estimated at $227 million. This includes $158 million for construction, $9 million for utility relocation and $60.6 million projected to purchase property for the expanded roadway and required retention ponds. The FDOT is purchasing 155 parcels of property totaling 45.8 acres.
The Overland Bridge was built in 1959 and reconstructed in 1989. It is classified by inspection reports as "structurally deficient," which means the structure needs to be replaced or repaired.
The contractor is Archer, Western Contractors, Inc. of Tampa. The designer is Reynolds, Smith and Hills of Jacksonville. Construction management services are being provided by Eisman & Russo Inc. of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville office of KCCS Inc.

Nov. 26, 2012
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (seminoles.com) – Florida State volleyball middle blocker Sareea Freeman's latest weekly award by the Atlantic Coast Conference came in record-breaking fashion as she was named the conference co-player of the week for the fourth time in her career on Monday.
Freeman joined Clemson senior middle hitter Sandra Adeleye as part of this week's honorees within the conference, being named player/co-player of the week for the third time in her standout senior season and fourth overall. The Fresno, Calif. native got the nod from the ACC after delivering 11 kills and a .381 hitting percentage in a 3-1 victory over No. 23 Miami last Friday that decided the conference championship. She added five blocks in the contest.
As has been the case during the season, Freeman was Florida State's prime offensive option when points were needed against a relentless Miami squad. Freeman recorded a kill on the final rally of the match to cap Florida State's fourth-set comeback which resulted in a 29-27 set victory and the Seminoles' fourth ACC title.
Never in school history has a Seminole volleyball student-athlete been named conference player of the week four times, including those who played in the Metro Conference. Former All-ACC standouts Aisha Thornton (1996-99) and Norisha Campbell (1998-01) previously held the school record by earning the conference honor three times in their careers.
In the regular season, Freeman finished first in the ACC and second in the nation with a .447 hitting percentage. She has 11 matches this year in which she has established double-digit kill totals and 17 matches where she recorded a hitting percentage of .400 or better.
The senior culminated the regular season with her first selection to the All-ACC Team.
The Seminoles have now had a student-athlete named ACC Player/Co-Player of the Week five times this season, marking another school record. Freeman has earned the honor three times, which junior middle blocker Ashley Neff and senior outside hitter Fatma Yildirim have been named once apiece this season. The previous record was four times held by members of the 1998 team.
Florida State enters NCAA postseason play as the sub-regional host this weekend in Tallahassee. The Seminoles, who earned a No. 9 national seed, play Hofstra in the first round of the NCAA Championship on Friday, Nov. 30 at 6:30 p.m. ET at Tully Gym.
Ticket prices and information for the Tallahassee sub-regional will be announced soon.

Fatigability after exercise and restoration of strength by rest are clinical hallmarks of myasthenia gravis (MG). These unique features are originated from a reduced safety factor, which is related to a defect of acetylcholine receptor, and post-exercise exhaustion of neuromuscular junction transmission. Therefore, most patients with MG feel recharged muscle strength and show normal muscle power after nocturnal sleep. As such, worsening of MG symptoms during nighttime is usual. However, in very rare cases, some patients with MG complain fatigability and weakness in the morning, so called "paradoxical weakness (PW)." We report two MG patients with typical PW, diagnosed with OSA by polysomnography. CPAP therapy successfully improved their morning symptoms and quality of life. So far, the detailed mechanism of PW in MG is unknown; however, our report highlights the possible role of sleep disorders in developing a PW in MG and the therapeutic target for life quality of MG.
Ji KH; Bae JS. CPAP therapy reverses weakness of myasthenia gravis: role of obstructive sleep apnea in paradoxical weakness of myasthenia gravis. J Clin Sleep Med 2014;10(4):441-442.
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by immunological attack on acetylcholine receptor and subsequent defect of neuromuscular junction transmission (NMJT) within motor end plate.1 Clinically, fatigability after exercise and restoration of strength by rest are clinical hallmarks and associated with an aforementioned "safety factor" of NMJT.1,2 However, in rare cases, patients with MG may show a worsening of symptoms on awakening, so-called paradoxical weakness (PW).3 We recently saw two MG patients with PW who were diagnosed with OSA by polysomnography (PSG). We managed them with CPAP therapy, which successfully reversed the PW of MG.
A 60-year-old obese woman visited our clinic because of serious deterioration of muscle strength in the morning. She had weakness in swallowing, eye-opening, and facial expression. Limb weakness was not apparent. Her symptoms usually improved slowly over a few hours of rest. She had been diagnosed with generalized MG and had a thymectomy 5 years previously. She had minimal myathenic features, such as ptosis and transient dysphagia with low dose pyridostigmine, azathioprine, and prednisolone. Recently, she had weight gain of about 5 kilograms over 2 months. Her body mass index was 28.04 kg/m2. On physical examination, she showed a moon face, short neck, central obesity, and buffalo hump-like neck. As she complained of PW on awakening from sleep in the morning, we evaluated her sleep history. She had loud snoring, and her family members reported frequent apnea during sleep. Furthermore, her symptoms became worse despite a daytime nap. PSG revealed severe OSA, with a respiratory disturbance index of 48.2/h. Desaturation nadir was 71%. Her arousal index was 45.1/h. CPAP titration was done successfully (Figure 1). One week of CPAP (pressure at 10 cm H2O) markedly improved morning weakness. Within a month, PW disappeared without medication adjustment.
Note the frequent respiratory disturbances with prominent oxygen desaturation. The breathing abnormalities were significantly worse in REM sleep. Optimal CPAP resolved sleep disordered breathing and reduced arousals.

A 20-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital because of breathlessness during sleep and extreme fatigue in the morning. Diplopia and ptosis were evident early in the morning. She had been diagnosed with generalized MG 2 years previously and had been complaining of mild bilateral ptosis and diplopia. Despite of several episodes of symptom fluctuation, her MG was stably controlled with nisolone 30 mg, Mestinon 450 mg, and mycophenolate 1 g/day. Until now, she had never experienced a significant exacerbation of MG symptoms on awakening in the morning. She was obese, with body mass index of 32.79 kg/m2 and had gained 3-4 kg within the past month. Cushing features were also noticed. She reported loud snoring and apnea, which had worsened recently. PSG revealed a respiratory disturbance index of 23.7/h with mild hypoxemia (desaturation to nadir of 88%). Arousal index was 22.0/h. CPAP (pressure at 8 cm H2O) therapy promptly improved her morning symptoms.
The prevalence of minimally symptomatic or asymptomatic OSA and OSA syndrome in the general population is about 20% and 5%, respectively.4 However, the prevalence of OSA in patients with neuromuscular diseases is largely unknown, even in relatively common neuromuscular diseases such as MG. One cross-sectional study to assess the prevalence of OSA in MG showed 36% for OSA and 11% for OSA syndrome.5 A recent case report that demonstrated the use of CPAP therapy led to improvement in symptoms of not only OSA but also ocular MG raises the potential association with MG and OSA.6
PW is a rarely described clinical feature of MG. We could find only one report for this concept.3 The mechanism of PW has not been elucidated yet.
We hypothesize that PW is either a rare clinical fluctuation of generalized MG or a specific phenomenon confined only to MG with OSA. At all events, muscles are weakened with repeated use, and strength improves by taking a rest. Therefore, we speculate that PW arises from muscular loading and nonrestorative sleep in MG with or without OSA. For example, PW can originate from either metabolic or mechanical aspects of nocturnal burdens. It seems that chronic exposure of repetitive hypoxia, despite ongoing respiratory muscular effort, results in a decreased safety margin (immunological safety factor) of NMJT and subsequent muscular fatigability in morning time. Moreover, sleep disturbance factors such as partial arousal, sleep fragmentation, and sleep deprivation can also contribute to PW, due to disturbed restorative sleep. Additionally, given that MG is an autoimmune disease, the role of OSA in modulating the immune system should be considered as well. Although the direct relationship between OSA and MG in immune-modulation is unknown, sleep apnea may increase the risk of autoimmune disease by T-cell mediated manner.7 Sleep deprivation is also associated with reductions in immune response.8 Finally, weight gain with or without chronic steroid therapy may have contributed. It can aggravate the severity of underlying OSA or even independently lead to the development of OSA.9
In our cases, two patients were obese and had generalized MG. In addition, they had Cushing features and history of recent weight gain as well as chronic steroid medication. No overt aggravating factors of MG were present, except for disturbed sleep. PW is a rare and unfamiliar phenomenon in MG. Without consideration of PW and its possible relationship to OSA, it is highly likely that clinicians might increase a corticosteroid dose to patients.5 Hence, early consideration of OSA or related sleep disorders can introduce an adequate management, such as CPAP therapy, and prevent unnecessarily high dosage of corticosteroid to patients showing PW of MG.
This was not an industry supported study. The authors have indicated no financial conflicts of interest.

This week, His Airness Michael Jordan once again lowered the price of his Highland Park 56,000-square-foot furnished, 9-bedroom mansion.
The home, originally listed for $32 million, dropped to $29 million in April, and has now been lowered by another $8 million.
It comes complete with 15 full baths, 4 and 1/2 baths, a 15 car garage, indoor/outdoor pool, putting green and let's not forget, the indoor regulation basketball court.
That original asking price is the highest in history for a residential property in the Chicago-area.
Although Chicago will always consider Jordan one of its own, he has done what many do when they retire.
He has downsized and gone to live in the south.
He now owns a $12.4 million home in Jupiter, Florida as well as $3.12 million condominium properties in Charlotte, NC.

MELBOURNE, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- No. 2-seeded Maria Sharapova posted a double-bagel win and Venus Williams dropped just one game Monday, the opening day of the 101st Australian Open.
Sharapova, the 2008 champion and two-time (2007, 20012) runner-up, lost only 23 points in a 6-0, 6-0 shutout of Olga Puchkova in 55 minutes. Sharapova allowed Puchkova just two break opportunities and had only 11 unforced errors.
Williams, the No. 25 seed, was on the court an hour in a 6-1, 6-0 win over Galina Voskoboeva. She saved all four of the break points she faced while posting 21 winners against 10 unforced errors.
Only one seeded player fell on the women's side Monday. No. 32 Mona Barthel, coming off a runner-up finish Saturday in Hobart, dropped a 5-7, 6-2, 4-6 decision to Ksenia Pervak in a tight 2-hour, 22-minute match.
Fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska, with two titles on her 2013 resume already, took out Bojana Bobusic 7-5, 6-0, dropping just nine points in the second set. No. 5 Angelique Kerber was a 6-2, 6-4 victor over Elina Svitolina, overcoming four dropped service games, and sixth-seeded Li Na defeated Sesil Karatantcheva 6-1, 6-3 without dropping serve.
Other seeded winners Monday included No. 9 Samantha Stosur, 11th-seeded Marion Bartoli and 15th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova. Also advancing were No. 18 Julia Goerges, 19th-seeded Ekaterina Makarova, 22nd-seeded Jelena Jankovic, No. 23 Klara Zakopalova, No. 27 Sorana Cirstea and 30th-seeded Tamira Paszek.
Unseeded winners, in addition to Pervak, were: Madison Keys, Maria Joao Koehler, Stephanie Foretz Gacon, Misaki Doi, Vesna Dolonc, Kristyna Pliskova, Valeria Savinykh, Zheng Jie, Olga Govortsova, Irina-Camelia Begu, Alize Cornet, Heather Watson, Chan Yung-Jan, Romina Oprandi, Kirsten Flipkens and Lucie Hradecka.
USC fires Coach Kevin O'Neill
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Southern Cal announced the firing of basketball Coach Kevin O'Neill Monday.
USC (7-10) has lost nine of its last 13 games.
O'Neill, 55, was in his fourth season as coach of the Trojans.
Assistant coach Bob Cantu will run the team while a search is conducted for O'Neill's replacement, Athletic Director Pat Haden said.
"It was hard for me to evaluate [O'Neill] as a head coach until this year when he had enough players and veterans to compete," Haden said. "As the season progressed, it became evident to me that we needed new leadership in our men's basketball program."
The Trojans were 19-15 in 2010-11 and 6-26 last season.
"I enjoyed my four years at USC. It is a special place," O'Neill said.
Louisville is coaches' poll new No. 1
MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Louisville emerged Monday as the new No. 1 team in the USA Today Coaches' poll after a week in which the final three undefeated teams all lost.
There were a total of 11 losses last week by Top 25 teams, including No. 25 Wyoming, No. 2 Michigan and No. 1 Duke all suffering their first losses of the season. Duke and Michigan, it should be noted, lost road games to ranked teams -- North Carolina State and Ohio State.
Last week's No. 3 Arizona was among those teams losing and that allows Louisville (15-1) to jump from fourth to No. 1. The Cardinals are the third team -- after Indiana and Duke -- to be ranked on top of the poll this season. They were given 18 of the 31 first-place votes.
Indiana (15-1) goes from fifth to second and picked up six first-place votes. Duke (15-1) drops two places to third but is still first on seven coaches' ballots.
Kansas (14-1) takes the fourth spot, after being sixth for three weeks. Michigan (16-1) drops to fifth and Syracuse (16-1) is up one place to sixth. Arizona (15-1) is down four to No. 7 while No. 8 Gonzaga (16-1) and Florida (12-2) are again eighth and ninth, respectively. They are the only Top 25 teams to hold the same position as last week.
Creighton (16-1) re-enters the Top 10 at 10th and Ohio State (13-3) comes in No. 11, up three from a week ago. Minnesota (15-2) slips two to 12th but Butler (14-2) is up four to 13th, San Diego State improves one place to No. 14 and North Carolina State gains six spots to No. 15.
Missouri (12-3) falls four places to 16th, ahead of No. 17 Michigan State. Kansas State (13-2) is 18th and Virginia Commonwealth (14-3) is No. 19 after both vault five places in a week. Notre Dame (14-2), 16th a week ago, is 20th.
New Mexico (14-2) is again ranked, coming in at 21st but Illinois (14-4) after an 0-2 week plummets nine places to 21st. Nevada-Las Vegas (14-3) and Cincinnati (14-3) both fall four places to 23rd and 24th, respectively, after losses last week. UCLA (14-3), which fell out of the ranking Dec. 3, is 25th.

Wednesday the Feb WASDE report sparked some fireworks in the grains. March corn finished 24 ¼ cents higher, March soybeans 16 ¾ cents higher, and March wheat 11 ¾ cents higher.
Before we even reached the report, the overnight markets were trading sharply higher. Most of this was from continued fears of the Chinese wheat crop losing production from dry weather. It is now estimated that over 6 million hectors may be affected in the region (this is out of 14 million hectors).
The USDA report was basically neutral for soybeans and wheat, but bullish for corn. U.S. corn carryout was lowered to 675 million bu (market estimated 736). On top of a bullish US number, the world carryout was expecting 127 MMTs, and the Feb report pegged the world number at 122.5 MMTs.
I have included an outline of the report below.
So where do we go from here? The bullish report will likely continue to support grains on breaks. Really the report only puts more emphases on the fact that we need all the acres we can get in order to replenish stocks. If China comes in to start importing an estimated 6-9 MMTs of Corn, we could see even more upside pressure on grains. On the other hand, we may be getting a little ahead of ourselves as the market is well overbought at this level and eventually we will have to start heavily cutting into demand. As a producer, we haven't been able to sell grains at these prices since 2008. We aren't even into March yet. Between now and the March 31st planting intentions report, we could be a little more aggressive on selling guaranteed bushels, playing into the hype, especially since we are now above $6. Even though I mentioned we are fundamentally friendly these markets, things can change on a dime when we have the market so loaded up with longs. We can also use option strategies to look at ways of making those cash sales, but still retaining some sort of ownership on the board. Please call your broker to discuss an individualized plan if you have not already done so. Otherwise, we like remaining with current hedges.

Gave it a vinegar treatment and then a gentle scrub with soda. Still artifacting. I believe the corrosion might have eaten away at the solder enough to not make good contact.
So afterwards I proceeded to give the contacts some taps with my soldering iron, however the solder refuses to soften up (I tried it on a different chip and it melted really quick). The contacts still have that white-grey rough surface from the vinegar treatment, despite the scrubbing.
Is there a good way to clean it so my soldering iron can do the job? Should I continue scrubbing?
Use Deoxit on it. That'll get rid of the crap that's on there.

Lives along rivers, streams and ditches, around ponds and lakes and in marshes, reedbeds and areas of wet moorland. Look out for the signs of Water Voles such as burrows in the riverbank, often with a nibbled 'lawn' of grass around the entrance. Water Voles like to sit and eat in the same place, so piles of nibbled grass and stems may be found by the water's edge, showing a distinctive 45° angled-cut at the ends. 'Latrines' of rounded, cigar-shaped droppings may also be spotted.
How to identify
Much bigger than other voles. Distinguished from the larger Brown Rat by its chestnut-brown fur, rounded nose, small, rounded ears that do not protrude from the fur and furry tail.
Where to find it
Widespread, found everywhere except for the Channel Island, the Isles of Scilly, Scottish islands, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man.
When to find it
- January
- February
- March
- April
- May
- June
- July
- August
- September
- October
- November
- December
How can people help
The Water Vole is Britain's fastest declining wild mammal and has disappeared from many parts of the country where it was once common. It is threatened by habitat loss, but has suffered particularly from predation by the introduced American Mink. The Wildlife Trusts are working hard to save the Water Vole by improving riverbank habitats, controlling Mink and being involved in Water Vole reintroduction schemes. Volunteers are needed to help with everything from monitoring populations to riverbank restoration. So why not have a go at volunteering for your local Trust? You'll make new friends, learn new skills and help wildlife along the way.

My first visit to Turkey was in late 2003. I've been back a couple of times, usually for brief visits on the way to India via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines.
On that first visit, I spent eight days exploring Istanbul, and took a ride out to the Black Sea and stayed in the sleepy seaside town of Amasra. Particularly in Istanbul, I recall afternoons of drinking tea and reading books. The days were beautifully punctuated by the competing calls to worship from mosques with their minarets pointed into the heavens. Continue reading

REVENUE ACT of 1971 . . . Tax Reductions, Incentives and Other Changes by Herbert Sirowitz and Sol Coffino INTRODUCTION: The new Act is a vital piece of tax legislation. It is aimed principally at reducing the taxpayers' burden and providing incentives for business, but it also embraces various technical changes which could materially affect certain taxpayers. Some of the highlights of the new Act are concisely set forth in this article. Caveat: The law itself contains numerous special provisions plus detailed exceptions and conditions. The President, on December 10,1971, signed into law the Revenue Act of 1971. The major provisions of the Act—those which will have the most impact on the economy—include the restoration of the investment credit, a codification of liberalized depreciation rules recently adopted by the Treasury Department, an acceleration of individual income tax reductions, the repeal of the federal excise tax on automobiles and light-duty trucks, and the enactment of tax incentives to encourage exports. The new Act, which is intended to stimulate economic recovery, also contains many other provisions in the nature of structural changes in the tax laws. While these changes may not have a significant effect on the economy as a whole, they could have an important bearing on the tax liability of affected persons. 1. INVESTMENT CREDIT The Revenue Act of 1971 provides for a 7 percent "Job Development Investment Credit" which restores to our tax laws an investment credit substantially similar to the credit repealed by the Tax Reform Act of 1969. The credit, which is intended to stimulate the economy by reducing the cost of capital investment, is generally available for property ordered after March 31, 1971, or property delivered after August 15, 1971 (regardless of when ordered). Qualified Investment The 7 percent investment credit is generally available with respect to the cost of depreciable tangible personal property. The portion of the investment in eligible property which qualifies for the credit is determined by the useful life of the property. The useful-life brackets which had been in effect under prior law have been shortened by one year. Thus, the full cost of property with a useful life of 7 years or more qualifies for the credit. Property with a useful life of 5 to 7 years will qualify to the extent of two-thirds of its cost, and property with a useful life of 3 to 5 years will qualify to the extent of one-third of its cost. No credit is available for shorter-lived property. Importantly, a taxpayer must use the same useful life for an asset in determining both the allowable investment credit and in computing depreciation or amortization. This rule can have a negative effect; while a longer life may produce a larger investment credit, current depreciation deductions will be lower. Special rules are provided for cases where the taxpayer uses a method of depreciation which does not directly relate to the useful life of the property (e.g., units-of-production). 30

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Last year, I featured a series of posts that dealt with new ways of using Thanksgiving leftovers. The series proved to be very popular, so I thought I'd expand it and add some new recipes to the collection. Hopefully, the recipes will appeal to you and you'll be able to find one or two new dishes that your family will enjoy. The first of the recipes has the most general appeal and it is also the easiest to make. These quesadillas, which first appeared in Fine Cooking magazine, make a wonderful lunch and they are a great substitute for turkey sandwiches. The recipe includes instructions for a simple spicy guacamole that is a wonderful counterpoint to the understated corn and turkey filling, but a salsa verde with some heat would also work well here. If you are bored with turkey sandwiches, do give these a try. Here is how the quesadillas are made.
Turkey and Corn Quesadillas with Guacamole...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Fine Cooking magazine
2 medium ripe avocados
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 medium lime, one half juiced and the other cut into wedges
1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups shredded roast turkey or chicken
2 cups fresh corn kernels, blanched, or frozen corn, cooked according to package directions and drained
1/2 cup packed coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Eight (7-inch) flour tortillas
2 cups (5 oz.) grated pepper jack cheese
2 tablespoons canola oil
1) Position a rack in center of the oven and heat oven to 200 degrees F.
2) Halve and pit avocados. Scoop flesh into a medium bowl and mash with a potato masher. Stir in onion, 1 tablespoon lime juice, chile, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Season to taste with more salt and lime juice. Put a piece of plastic wrap directly on surface of the guacamole to prevent browning.
3) In a large bowl, toss turkey, corn, and cilantro with 1 teaspoon salt. Top half of each tortilla with one-eighth of filling mixture and 1/4 cup of cheese. Fold uncovered half of each tortilla over filling.
4) Heat 1-1/2 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 quesadillas to pan and weigh down with a lid. Cook until golden-brown and a bit crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. With a spatula, carefully flip each quesadilla and cook until golden-brown and cheese has melted, about 2 minutes more. Transfer quesadillas to a baking sheet and put in oven.
5) Wipe out pan. Repeat, cooking remaining quesadillas in 3 more batches, using 1-1/2 teaspoon oil for each batch. Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve with the guacamole and lime wedges on the side. Yield: 4 dinner servings.

For temperature transmitter and resistance thermometer
For easy configuration of:
This model PU-448 programming unit has been designed for general use in the production facilities of electronic temperature probe and sensor manufacturers. With this interface, model T12 and T24 temperature transmitters, and the TR21, TR30, TR31, TR33 and TR34 series resistance thermometers, can be quickly and easily configured.
The programming unit provides a detailed status/diagnostic display and checks, for each contact, the connection between PC and programming unit as well as the connection between the programming unit and the transmitter.
Coloured LEDs indicate to the operator the current status of the connection. This ensures that faulty connections are reported immediately. Through the colour display, errors are very easily pinpointed.
The programming unit needs no additional voltage supply. The required voltage is taken entirely from the USB interface.
Together with the WIKA_TT, WIKAsoft-TT or WIKA_T12 configuration software a very useful tool has therefore been created, with which one can very easily configure temperature transmitters and resistance thermometers.
By using a model PU-448 programming unit with model T24 temperature transmitters or model TR21, TR30 and TR31 resistance thermometers, the loop current can also be measured.
The electrical connection of the terminals for the configuration of the head-mounted temperature transmitter version is achieved using the magWIK quick connector (patent applied for, Patent No. 102009044676.1).
For the connection to model TR21, TR30, TR31, TR33 and TR34 resistance thermometers, corresponding coupler connectors are available.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College men's basketball team (3-3, 0-1 PBC) dropped its Peach Belt Conference (PBC) opener Tuesday in the Centennial Center to Georgia Southwestern State University (5-2, 1-0 PBC) in a defensive battle, 63-59
Senior forward Scott Ferguson (Roswell, Ga.) led three Bobcats in double figures with a game-high 16 points. Sophomore David Wagner (Dallas, Ga.) tallied 10 points with a team-best six rebounds, while junior Aaron Robinson (Lawrenceville, Ga.) matched his career high with 13 points.
The Hurricanes put four in double-figure scoring, but none with more than the 11 points they got from Milos Kleut and Matt Shaw. The GSW bench out-scored Georgia College's reserves 29-10.
Georgia College was out-shot 39 percent (23-59) to 47 percent (24-51) in the first home loss for the Bobcats this season. GSW out-rebounded the Bobcats 38-29. Georgia College has now lost conference openers in two-straight seasons.
The Bobcats scored the first seven points of the contest, leading by as much as 14-5 in the early going. The Canes battled back to take their first lead with 6:04 left in the half. GSW held a 27-25 lead at the break.
The Bobcats are back in action Saturday, Dec. 15 at 3:30 p.m., hosting Francis Marion University. The contest will serve as a fundraiser for the Creekside Elementary School PTA, as tickets purchased through PTA members will give a $3 donation back to the school.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BobcatSports and www.facebook.com/gcbobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

Augier, Mie; Teece, David J. (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper, Mie Augier and David Teece outline the history and development of the ideas underlying an emerging approach within strategic management research: the dynamic capabili-ties framework. The framework was first outlined by Teece and Pisano (1994), and in the pre-sent paper elaborated further so the reader will be able to appreciate some of the most impor-tant intellectual resources underpinning it, such as the work of Schumpeter, Penrose, William-son, Cyert and March, Rummelt, Nelson and Winter. Although listed as intellectual resources by the authors, they also turn (some of) them into a topic for further discussion. For example, Augier and Teece identify not only the merits but also the limitations of transaction costs eco-nomics. In this way, the authors pave the way for a more dynamic framework while drawing upon organization theory and scholars like Cyert and March (a behavioral theory of the firm) and Nelson and Winter (an evolutionary theory of economic change). In the dynamic capability framework firms and markets co-evolve. Managers are now allowed to perform distinct strate-gic roles in shaping both firms and their markets, e.g. through asset- selection and orchestra-tion, including also the task of allocating resources between exploitation and exploration.

An Interview with David J. TeeceAugier, Mie (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper, Mie Augier provides a rich description of the intellectual traditions, the signifi-cant people and academic institutions that in some way or another made a difference to Davis Teece's own intellectual development. In this sense, it is a dynamic account of the emerging career of a distinguished scholar - but not only that. It is also a description of the co-development of three major disciplinary fields; organization theory, economics and strategic management during three decades or so. David Teece has made several important contribu-tions, perhaps most notably to economics (on the theory of the firm and transaction cost eco-nomics) and strategic management (on dynamic capabilities) while drawing upon organization theory and notions such as organizational routines and bounded rationality. In addition, Augier also provides an interview with David Teece, a true scholar still unsettled with what has been achieved so far - in all three fields: "Maybe I'm wrong; and maybe technology is a special case and maybe technology and organization do not belong at the core of the theory of the firm. My intuition tells me otherwise." (David Teece, quoted in this issue). URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6686

Unusual comparison nets new sleep loss marker
(Medical Xpress)—For years, Paul Shaw, PhD, a researcher at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has used what he learns in fruit flies to look for markers of sleep loss in humans.
Shaw reverses the process in a new paper, taking what he finds in humans back to the flies and gaining new insight into humans as a result: identification of a human gene that is more active after sleep deprivation.
"I'm calling the approach cross-translational research," says Shaw, associate professor of neurobiology. "Normally we go from model to human, but there's no reason why we can't take our studies from human to model and back again."
Shaw and his colleagues plan to use the information they are gaining to create a panel of tests for sleep loss. The tests may one day help assess a person's risk of falling asleep at the wheel of a car or in other dangerous contexts.
PLOS One published the results on April 24.
Scientists have known for years that sleep disorders and disruption raise blood serum levels of interleukin 6, an inflammatory immune compound. Shaw showed that this change is also detectable in saliva samples from sleep-deprived rats and humans.
Based on this link, Shaw tested the activity of other immune proteins in humans to see if any changed after sleep loss. The scientists took saliva samples from research participants after they had a normal night's sleep and after they stayed awake for 30 hours. They found two immune genes whose activity levels rose during sleep deprivation.
"Normally we would do additional human experiments to verify these links," Shaw says. "But those studies can be quite expensive, so we thought we'd test the connections in flies first."
The researchers identified genes in the fruit fly that were equivalent to the human genes, but their activity didn't increase when flies lost sleep. When they screened other, similar fruit fly genes, though, the scientists found one that did.
"We've seen this kind of switch happen before as we compared families of fly genes and families of human genes," Shaw says. "Sometimes the gene performing a particular role will change, but the task will still be handled by a gene in the same family."
When the scientists looked for the human version of the newly identified fly marker for sleep deprivation, they found ITGA5 and realized it hadn't been among the human immune genes they screened at the start of the study. Testing ITGA5 activity in the saliva samples revealed that its activity levels increased during sleep deprivation.
"We will need more time to figure out how useful this particular marker will be for detecting sleep deprivation in humans," Shaw says. "In the meantime, we're going to continue jumping between our flies and humans to maximize our insights."

In the 20 years since the Northridge earthquake, the lessons of preparedness and building security are still being taught.
For Jeff Bonadiman, owner of Redlands-based Bonadiman Construction, which operates throughout San Bernardino and Riverside counties, seismic retrofitting has become the majority of his business, which has left many older homes and other structures in the region stronger and ready to withstand the tests of time and nature.
"In Northridge, there were right around 22,000 people who were displaced from homes damaged from the earthquake," he said. "A lot of that could have been prevented if homes or buildings were retrofitted."
The 6.7-magnitude earthquake caused more than $40 billion in damage, bringing people to the realization that buildings that had been built up to code or retrofitted were more stable.
"In those cases, the buildings did much better. It was minimal damage to buildings that had been retrofitted," Bonadiman said.
Bonadiman has crawled under hundreds of homes to strengthen deteriorating foundations — a problem that, he said, many homeowners fail to recognize.
"It's amazing because people spend all this money painting their house when they have no idea what's going on beneath their homes," he said.
Bob Snedaker, owner of Simpler Life Emergency Provisions Inc., has also been focused on bringing awareness to disaster preparedness.
Now based in Redlands, Snedaker and his wife Crystal were operating their business in the City of Industry in 1994 when the Northridge quake struck.
Business boomed for weeks after the earthquake, he said, but by then the damage had already been done.
"It was after the fact, but the people that weren't ready got prepared," he said.
Now, he has seen only a minimal increase in awareness to prepare for a disaster.
"The people forget easily," Snedaker said. "I think that's the greatest thing that we remember, but it's something that people academically are aware of. They know that we're in a generally high-risk area, but I don't know if the knowledge has increased, but the actual preparation level has increased minimally."
But if the big one hits, or any disaster, Snedaker said people need to realize that they cannot rely on government assistance.
He recommends people keep basic supplies on hand — water, food, medical supplies and a plan.
"You cannot think of it as something to do, but a way of life," he said. "Life doesn't always dish out happy things."
