Until Subnational Debt Do Us Part
Decentralization in many countries has given subnational governments certain spending responsibilities, revenue-raising authority, and the capacity to incur debt. Furthermore, rapid urbanization in developing countries is requiring large-scale infrastructure financing to help absorb influxes of rural populations. Not surprisingly, the subnational debt market in some developing countries has been going through a notable transformation.

"President Correa and Ecuadoran authorities must end the systematic verbal assault and defamation of Fundamedios for their work on behalf of journalists who are facing numerous restrictions," said CPJ Senior Americas Program Coordinator Carlos Lauría. "We hold the Ecuadoran government accountable for the safety of Fundamedios staff and executive director César Ricaurte."
The most recent spate of verbal attacks and harassment against Fundamedios and press advocates by Correa and government officials were prompted by the group's presentation of press freedom violations in Ecuador before the Inter American Commission on Human Rights on October 25. Ricaurte has since denounced being the object of death threats by email and social media.

Obama's Border Crisis
It's hard to imagine a more apt summation of the lunatic state of the nation's immigration debate than this week's split screen.
In Washington, most respectable opinion lined up, yet again, to condemn Republicans for not passing an amnesty under the guise of defunct-for-now "comprehensive immigration reform."
Story Continued Below
Meanwhile, the crisis on the Southern border continued. A massive influx of people — largely driven by Central Americans, many of them children — drawn here in the expectation of lax immigration enforcement is overwhelming border officials and facilities.
A Wall Street Journal story about the White House reaction to the crisis was headlined, "Obama Plans Executive Action to Bolster Border Security," which has a man-bites-dog feel to it after all of the administration's executive actions to undermine immigration enforcement.
The border crisis is of a piece with a broad unraveling of the president's policy over the past year. His erstwhile spiritual mentor might have put it under the category of "chickens coming home to roost."
He adopted the policy of maximum risk in Iraq by pulling out all our combat troops, and Sunni jihadis are marching on Baghdad. He championed a vast new health law reliant on the smooth operation of perhaps the most complex federal website ever, and it's still not functioning properly. He has systematically ignored the nation's immigration laws, and tens of thousands of new illegal immigrants are showing up at our doorstep.
House Speaker John Boehner appropriately attacked the president over the crisis the other day, but spoke imprecisely when he excoriated him for "giving false hope to children and their families that if they enter the country illegally they will be allowed to stay." Actually, the hope is quite real.
As the pro-enforcement Center for Immigration Studies notes, apprehensions of non-Mexicans have increased sharply over the past year, but deportations of citizens of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras have dropped in the same period.
A leaked memo from a high-ranking Border Patrol official said that only 3 percent of non-Mexicans apprehended at the border are being returned to their native countries.
"It will not be open arms," Joe Biden thundered in Guatemala City the other day, in an attempt to dissuade would-be migrants. "We're going to hold hearings with our judges, consistent with international law and American law, and we're going to send the vast majority of you back."
The only part he had right is that we will hold hearings with our judges. The immigrants themselves may or not be part of them.
The administration is waving the families and children into the United States, dispersing them around the country, and giving them a date — often quite distant because of a huge backlog — to appear in immigration court.
Experience says only about a quarter of illegal immigrants released pending a court date will actually show up for the proceedings.
Why would they? As Byron York of the Washington Examiner points out, once illegal immigrants are in the country, they fairly quickly can become part of the broad category of people that the administration has exempted from interior enforcement.

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
Activity 1: Why Is the Crack in the Liberty Bell So Important?
Next, have students write a position paper or engage in a debate on the question: "The crack in the Liberty Bell is a necessary component to its importance as a symbol to Americans and people from other nations." These questions will help students focus on the topic:
Activity 2: What Do Symbols Tell Us about Ourselves?
When all interviews are complete, go through each of the questions and keep a tally of similar responses on the chalk board. Then ask the students to try to think of events that have occurred in their lifetimes that might one day become symbolized as important events in American history. Ask them to discuss or debate the reliability of accounts by people alive at the time of certain events.

Summit Series Game 1: Canada reels at shocking loss
Poorly conditioned Team Canada trounced by so-called amateurs
For Montrealers, hockey always has been more than just a game. It is our hopes, our dreams, our culture, our national identity.
And nowhere was it played with more success and more passion than at the Forum. It was the place to be for more than seven decades on a Saturday for men and women dressed in their Sunday best, where so many treasured memories were born for generations of Canadiens fans.
Careers were born and flourished there. A few died there. However, there was a special buzz in this hockey cathedral on a Sept. 2 night 40 years ago.
On one side, most of the NHL's best professionals. On the other, the very best of the USSR's "amateurs." Team Canada, wearing rich-looking uniforms, versus a shabbily dressed, ill-equipped Soviet team meeting for the first of four games in Canada followed by four more in Moscow.
The Forum had put on its best face for this game. The building's box seats were awash in red, white and blue bunting. The floors shone. The lighting seemed brighter, the ice whiter.
Bobby Hull, now with the World Hockey Association, wasn't on the team. Off-season surgery had sidelined Bobby Orr, but Phil Esposito had come off a 1971-72 season with a league-leading 66 goals and 67 assists. That same season, Team Canada snipers Jean Ratelle, Vic Hadfield, Rod Gilbert, Frank Mahovlich, Yvan Cournoyer and Bobby Clarke also had finished in the top 10.
This series was supposed to be a laugher, even though the visitors had dominated at the Olympics and world championships for years. Perhaps even eight straight, particularly after Esposito beat Vladislav Tretiak 30 seconds into the game with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau leading the cheering. And when Paul Henderson made it 2-0 at 6:32, it was party time for the 18,818 fans.
Alas, from that point a funny thing happened on the way to the Forum.
The Soviets got goals from Yevgeni Zimin and Vladimir Petrov in the last half of the period, and Valeri Kharlamov added two more at 2:40 and 10:18 of the second period. It wasn't until almost midway through the third that Clarke lifted his teammates to within a goal, but that celebration was short-lived when Boris Mikhailov, Zimin and Alexander Yakushev beat Ken Dryden in a matter of only a little more than five minutes.
Soviets 7, Team Canada 3.
How could this happen? Why was it allowed to happen? What went wrong? Why?
Much of it was an outgrowth of Team Canada's arrogance. The team was ill-prepared. The Soviets started training in mid-July, Team Canada not until mid-August in Toronto, where penthouse parties outnumbered practices.
The first time Team Canada players and their coaches saw the Soviets on the ice was the day before the first game. They almost collapsed in laughter watching this poorly dressed, horribly equipped group of amateurs go through a silly-looking series of drills on second-hand skates no NHLer in his right mind would wear.
This stunning loss was an amalgam of many things: selfishness, little preparation, no respect for an opponent and five-and-dime scouting. More than anything, it was because on this night the amateurs outplayed, outskated and outworked the professionals.
I can remember a Soviet journalist named Vyacheslav Chernkyshoff describing the first period as a Buffalo-Boston game when the teams went into the first intermission locked up 2-2. After the second period, when Team Canada trailed 4-2, he had changed his mind:
"It is not a Buffalo-Boston game. It is Switzerland against Boston!"
Team Canada coach Harry Sinden, who awoke the next morning determined to make nine lineup changes for Game 2, was equally unimpressed with his team's performance. His face was the colour of chalk at his team's practice, but there were no weak excuses from him for the Game 1 debacle.
"How do I feel?" he asked. "How do the players feel? There's a feeling of surprise, I think, and acknowledgement," Sinden said. "I think that's good. You should have respect for your opponent.
"There's no doubt what we're up against now," he added. "On Saturday, we ran around trying to be everywhere the puck was. When you run around doing more than what you're supposed to do, that comes from being too high. That's where we ran into all sorts of trouble.
"It's a real competition now," he added. "It wouldn't have been worth a damn if it was easy. On the other hand, maybe they're not thinking it's so much fun because it was easy for them. I wonder how much they learned from us last night."
The message to players and fans across our land on Sept. 2, 1972, was that the NHL no longer was the only game in town.
"It's all about conditioning," Red Berenson said. "We didn't have it. We simply weren't ready, but I didn't think they would play as well as they did. That really surprised me, but we didn't have the conditioning we needed to handle them."
It brought me back to a day in July when I met with roughly 20 Team Soviet officials in Moscow. Andrei Starovoitov, the secretary-general of what was then the USSR Hockey Federation, looked unhappy — perhaps because he had been called to the meeting in 100-degrees-plus weather to discuss a September hockey tournament.
He sat there, unsmiling, an interpreter at his side, his lips a thin slash in a chalk-white face that hadn't seen nearly enough sun. Comrade Starovoitov had questions he wanted answered, silly questions it seemed at the time.
"Seth Martin, is he on your team?" he asked.
"Your (Ken) Dryden, is he as good as Martin?" Starovoitov asked.
"Martin was a very good international amateur goaltender, but he wasn't good enough to play in the NHL," he was told. "Dryden is the best goaltender in the NHL."
Eventually, this question: "How do you think the series will go?"
"Eight straight."
"The games will show," Starovoitov said.
Shortly after the Game 1 loss, Starovoitov made his way through a mob of several hundred shocked media people gathered in the Forum's garage. Now, as expected, the colour was high in his cheeks. He almost put music to his first question – this time without the help of an interpreter:
"Do you remember me from Moscow, Mr. Fisher?" he asked.
"Yes, Mr. Starovoitov."
"Do you remember what you said to me in Moscow, Mr. Fisher?"
"I said eight straight, Mr. Starovoitov."
"You could be right," he snapped.
Then he turned abruptly, and walked away …earing a broad smile that seemed it would never go away.
Laughing, while the rest of Canada wept.
Look for the second instalment of Red Fisher's 40th anniversary Summit Series feature in Tuesday's Gazette, focusing on Game 2 in Toronto, which was played on Sept. 4, 1972. Other stories will run on the same dates the games were played in 1972: Sept. 6, 8, 22, 24, 26 and 28. For more on the Summit Series, go to montrealgazette.com/summitseries

PHOENIX — Jurors at the retrial of an Arizona man charged with the 1991 murders of nine people at a Buddhist temple in metro Phoenix were played a confession from the man's high-school friend who said they went to the house of worship to carry out a robbery.
Prosecutors in 39-year-old Johnathan A. Doody's retrial focused heavily in opening statements Wednesday on the recorded confession of Alessandro Garcia, who pleaded guilty to the nine murders and was sentenced to life in prison.
Garcia said Doody had masterminded the August 1991 robbery at the Wat Promkunaram temple in the community of Waddell and insisted that Doody was intent on not leaving behind any witnesses.
"His intentions were to kill everybody," the then-16-year-old Garcia said, insisting that he didn't want anyone killed.
Doody's lawyers say their client is innocent and that Garcia gave investigators who were feeling public pressure to solve the high-profile murders whatever they wanted, allowing Garcia to avoid the death penalty.
Doody is accused of killing six monks, a nun and two helpers during a robbery. Their bodies were found arranged face-down in a circle, each shot in the back of the head. Authorities say Doody and Garcia made off with cameras, stereo equipment, piggy banks and about $2,600 in cash.
The killings stirred outrage in Thailand, where monks are revered and where most men serve a brief stint as apprentice monks at some point in their lives.
Doody is being retried after a federal appeals court ruled that his confession, taken when Doody was 17, wasn't given voluntarily, partly because he wasn't properly read his rights by the officers who were interrogating him.
Prosecutor Jason Kalish played an excerpt from Garcia's confession in which Garcia said they had gotten information on the temple complex's layout and whether the building had security and valuables inside. Garcia said they had gotten the information from Doody's brother, who was a monk in training there.
"They (Johnathan Doody and Garcia) put all this information together and drew a handmade map," Kalish said.
The prosecutor also showed jurors a photo of nine dead bodies on the floor of the temple and images of gunshot wounds to the back of each victim's head. Doody sat expressionless as images of the victims were shown on an overhead projector.
David Rothschild, one of Doody's attorneys, told jurors that there was no evidence that puts Doody at temple during the crime, except Garcia's confession.
"Alex Garcia gave them the truth that they needed to hear," Rothschild said.
Rothschild pointed out that four men from Tucson had been arrested earlier in the case, but were released after investigators found out they weren't involved.
Most Read
In a 1991 interview with police, Doody said he went to the temple during the robbery and was outside during the shooting, but he denied killing anyone. The appeals court's decision means prosecutors can't use Doody's confession at trial.
Opening arguments were delayed for about 90 minutes Wednesday after a television station that was taking pool video of the trial was found by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Kreamer to have violated a rule that prohibited the media from capturing images of jurors. The judge said about 25 seconds of video was inadvertently aired as the jurors were leaving for a lunch break.
The video was posted on YouTube. The judge has barred the pool video camera.
Defense attorneys asked for a mistrial, arguing the violation of court rules opens up the possibility that jurors could be harassed. But the judge denied the mistrial request after jurors said the video wouldn't affect their ability to be fair and impartial.

ST 450 Convective Pre-Heater
The ST 450 is an analog, closed loop, temperature controlled convective 1500 W preheater. The heating area is 140mm (5.5") x 140mm (5.5"). This preheater is ideal for applications where focused hot air is desirable or where cooling air is required after the application of heat such as area array applications.Additionally, the nature of hot air allows heat to get into those hard to reach places all too common on today"s electronics.
The ST 450 can be used as is, or one of 3"air wash" nozzles can be attached to focus the heat where it is needed (4.5" Air Wash Nozzle 4058-0003-P1 is supplied with the system). The ST 450 can be used as a stand-alone unit with either the ST 525/ST 550 PCB holder or can be used with the ST 300, ST 325, or ST 350. When used with the ST 325/ST 350 (with the optional software package) the heater activity of the ST 450 can be controlled through the ST 325 or ST 350. The ST 450 is completely self-contained and when in cooling mode, the airflow is increased to 50 cfm.

AURORA, CO - DECEMBER 01: An immigrant from Mexico holds her four day-old son during a newborn care class at a community health center for low-income patients on December 1, 2009 in Aurora, Colorado. The Metro Community Provider Network (MCPN), which has 11 health centers in the Denver area, has seen a 138 percent increase in patients during the last year of recession. Non-profit community health centers such as MCPN could play a major role nationally if health care reform is passed, with increased subsidies from the federal government as well as millions of newly-insured low-income citizens seeking care. Health coverage for immigrants remains a contentious issue in the reform debate. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)

Obama's dilemma
President Barack Obama dispatched Mitt Romney a little more than a month ago but now faces an unpredictable new threat: a deeply divided House GOP that doesn't even seem capable of bargaining with him.
( PHOTOS: Fiscal cliff's key players)
Story Continued Below
Obama had hoped the election would unclog the works in Washington. His aides often speculated that he'd be freer to negotiate because he didn't have to run again — and Republicans didn't have to run against him.
But Thursday's revolt was a grim reminder of how closely Obama's future is tethered to that of his political rivals.
If House Speaker John Boehner can't muscle his own bill through the House, his power to persuade his colleagues to accept a deal with the White House appears greatly diminished. And that means it might be tough for Obama to forge any agreement with House Republicans to avert the fiscal cliff this year — or to push through his second-term agenda in the years to come.
( 12 Republicans resigned to higher taxes)
The path forward looked unclear even to senior administration officials late Thursday.
Aides had thought the House wrangling would stretch past midnight, so many had left the White House early in the evening — only to see Boehner pull the bill from floor at 8 p.m., much sooner than expected. They took it as a sign that Boehner wasn't even close.
Obama press secretary Jay Carney released a purposefully restrained statement — a shift after days of senior administration officials accusing Boehner of strategic incompetence and political cowardice. The president will work with Congress, Carney said, to find a bipartisan solution.

But by the time Carney responded, Boehner had already signaled that he had no intention of returning to the bargaining table with Obama. After his own strategy backfired, Boehner said in a statement that Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) needed to come up with a solution — not exactly the message that the White House was hoping to hear.
Now, negotiations move onto unusual turf.

Hip-hop artist Attrell Cordes, half of duo P.M. Dawn, dies
NEW YORK (AP) — Attrell Cordes, who formed the hip-hop duo P.M. Dawn with his brother and was also known by the name Prince Be, has died.
His representative confirmed Cordes' death on Saturday. He was 46.
"It's true," said Jeff Epstein, of Universal Attractions Agency in an email, responding to a query about the death. The performer had been suffering from renal kidney disease, People reported, and died in New Jersey.
Cordes formed P.M. Dawn in 1988 with his brother, Jarrett Cordes, also known as DJ Minutemix. Their best-known song was the 1991 "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss." The song, a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, was remade in 1997 by the Backstreet Boys.
Another song, the 1992 "I'd Die Without You," reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Johnson to serve as DH in season opener
ST. PETERSBURG -- Newcomer Kelly Johnson, who will likely play a lot of second base and some left field this season, got the news during Monday's workout that he will be the Rays' designated hitter on Tuesday against the Orioles.
"I know some guys who don't want to [be the DH], but I haven't done it enough to get to that point," Johnson said. "I'm all right with it."
Johnson was used as a DH four times in 2012 and seven times overall in his career. He said he is comfortable with the role.
"I don't think I would be the first one to volunteer to do it on a regular basis," Johnson said. " ... Like anyone, I just want to be in the lineup."
Johnson was asked if being the DH served him up an introduction to manager Joe Maddon's lineups. The skipper has a penchant for switching things up for his players on a consistent basis.
"It is my introduction to Joe Maddon," said Johnson, allowing a chuckle. "But like I said, being in the lineup is where I want to be. I'll be playing a lot more games in the field than I will DHing this year. That's how it laid out, Luke [Scott] getting hurt obviously."

A former Betty Ford Center worker asked for $1 million in damages in a lawsuit filed Thursday against actress Lindsay Lohan.
The employee, Dawn Bradley, claimed Lohan assaulted her when she was undergoing treatment at the facility. Bradley claimed the alleged assault resulted in "great mental, physical and nervous pain and suffering.''
The confrontation occurred Dec. 12, according to the lawsuit. Bradley was fired from the Betty Ford Center after discussing the incident on camera with celebrity website TMZ.
Prosecutors in Riverside County have declined to charge Lohan with battery.
The filing comes on the same day the 25-year-old actress was in court for a progress report regarding terms of her probation.

What a wild game for the Knicks against Atlanta. With Tyson Chandler sitting this one out for rest, there was not a lot of defense on either side played in this one.
With Chandler out, Amar'e played the 5 and Melo moved back to the 4 where he has been on such a tear. Landry Fields moved back into the starting lineup at the 3 spot.
The Knicks shut some people up about Melo and Amar'e not being able to play together for at least a few days. At least on the offensive side of the ball anyway. Melo got lots of touches while also getting Amar'e involved on the pick and roll.
Melo finished with 32 points on 14-32 shooting to go along with 10 boards. Amar'e was very aggressive and showing that quick burst that makes him so effective. He also featured his spin move off the dribble in the post. Amar'e finished with 22 points on 9-13 shooting with 12 rebounds.
The big difference in this game was there was a lot more going to the basket and less jumpshots. The jumpshots they did take were quality shots (12-19) from 3. The Hawks were equally as effective from the three point line shooting 15-23 from distance.
The most encouraging thing about the three point shooting was everyone not named JR Smith and Steve Novak contributed from the outside. Baron Davis, Melo, and Landry Fields all contributed 3 treys apiece. Novak and JR had 1 apiece.
Landry Fields, who has struggled mightily with his jumpshot this season, was 3-3 in the third quarter from three. The best part was there was no hesitation and there seemed to be more arc than he has had (which had been very little). He finished with 18 points on 7-8 shooting overall.
Baron Davis, coming back after a couple games off, was pretty effective although he still had a couple careless BD turnovers. He was penetrating effectively and hit open three point shots as he was 3-4 from distance. He had a nice penetrating move in the 3rd quarter and dished it to Amar'e for the jam. The Knicks need him to take care of the basketball when playoff time comes.
The most important thing I take away from this game, besides the fact that Amar'e looks pretty healthy, is the Knicks didn't fall in love with the 3 point shot. They were shooting it well, but didn't let that steer them into taking an inordinate amount of them. They had pick and roll with Amar'e as well as Melo on the low block a couple times.
I would really like the Knicks to feature Melo on the low block a lot more as this either leads to more higher percentage shots, getting to the foul line, or double teams which help facilitate ball movement out of the double team. I would like to see more of this in lieu of Melo getting it on the wing where there is no chance of ball movement.
I understand that Melo is going to get his isos on the wing, but I think a higher percentage of low block post ups are in order. The benefits of this, of course, are getting more free throw attempts. More fouls leads to the opposing team getting into the penalty quicker which leads to more free throw attempts for non-shooting fouls.
Now onto Amar'e's defense or lack thereof. Watching this game, you see that Amar'e doesn't really seem to know how to play defense. He lets the same quickness that he uses on the offensive end become a liability on the defensive end. He tends to jump at defenders instead of simply staying in front of them.
Textbook example of this was when Josh Smith had Amar'e matched up with him, and Amar'e is jumping at Smith crowding him and overplaying him. A big part of defense is reading the scouting report, and the scouting report on Josh Smith is make him shoot jumpers. Josh Smith likes to take jumpers all too much, ask Mike Woodson. All Amar'e has to do is stay in front of him, and if he makes a jumper so be it. Playing defense is about playing the percentages.
When you are going against the best athletes in the world, all that offensive player needs is the defender leaning in the right direction. Amar'e needs to stay balanced and in front of his man. It is this overplaying and getting right up on his man that leads to players blowing right by him.
There were a lot of good things in this game from an offensive standpoint, although it is hard to put too much stock into it beings there was very little defense played.
I have mixed feelings about Chandler sitting out. While it is good obviously for the big man to get some rest before the playoffs, does it help to have Amar'e at the 5 and Melo at the 4 if that's not the lineup you are going to have in the playoffs? With the spacing, you risk having to make even more adjustments. Now if you just wanted to have Amar'e to get a solid game under his belt with Melo, then I can see it. However, I have read some reports that the Knicks may shut Tyson down for the last 2 games. I don't like the idea of the Knicks waiting until the playoffs to get the offense working with these 3 on the floor at the same time.
One last note, I would have like to see Dan Gadzuric get some minutes especially with Chandler sitting out to see if he could contribute. As seen by today's game, the Knick defense leaks like a sieve when Tyson doesn't play.

text: This thread is for known hardware/software issues with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. If you discover an issue, either post in this thread or PM me or mods. I'll keep this original post updated with the most pertanent info. Note: I'd like to keep battery life and signal strength discussions out for now. There are plenty of other threads for those and those are common complaints for almost all phones. However, we can approach those subjects if software/firmware updates seem to affect them. Please see this excellent writeup on the Galaxy Nexus 4G signal. AnandTech - Investigating the Galaxy Nexus LTE Signal Issue It may not explain everything, and certainly there are members who are having problems, but it does help explain why the GNex shows lower signal readings compared to other phones, and also disspells the myth that the GNex has the exact same radios as the Charge. The 4G radio is an evolution different. Issue 1: File transfers unreliable Spoiler File transfers over USB cable from computers is unreliable. There are reports that coping files from the phone works ok, but trying to copy files to the phone causes issues. I've tried this both on XP, Vista, and Win7 and had the same issues with intermittant transfers, timing out, and other issues. For example, my ringtones transferred fine, but I couldn't transfer any pictures. Possible smack myself in the forehead moment. For all those with issues transferring files, try using the USB cable that comes with the unit. I just tried it, and all my transfers worked fine. I have a USB->MicroUSB cable that I leave plugged into my computer to hook up to various devices. Apparently, there was something about this cable the GNex didn't like. Resolution: This has been discussed on XDA. The problem has to do with lack of true USB host mode. Or could it just be the cable you are using? There are a couple of workarounds: Easiest: Download Airdroid from the market. It lets you wirelessly connect to your phone and control it, including transferring files. Can't believe it's free, works pretty slick (Must use Chrome or Firefox, don't use IE) Moderate: In CWM, mount USB storage. I'm going to try this to see how well it works. Issue 2: WiFi bootlooping Spoiler Wifi bootlooping. Some users report that when connecting back to wifi, it causes bootloops. Resolution: No resolution at this time. Possible hardware defect. Lightflow has also been suspected as causing problems. Issue 3: Artifacts while playing videos in low light Spoiler Some users report that while playing movies in a dark environment, that scenes with black lighting can tend to exhibit blue blocky artifacts. Resolution: This issue is caused by posterization during the encoding process. While we like to think that black backgrounds are truely black, instead there may be minute amounts of detail that is being transferred. This gets exacerbated when the video is transcoded. Normally, this wouldn't be visible on traditional backlit LCD screens as it would be washed away, but instead, with the super contrast of AMOLED screens, it becomes more visible. It's also being exaggerated by the pentile arrangement of the subpixels, causing the effect to be more pronounced. Unfortunately, there is no resolution at this time other than using higher quality source material. Some report the app "Screen Adjuster" helps to alleviate the issue. Issue 4: Extra audio clicking sounds Spoiler Some users report extra clicking sounds happening quite a while after doing an operation. There are normal sounds that go with events, like touchscreen input, and abnormal sounds that happen afterwards. Resolution: Possible hardware defect, return phone. Issue 5: Power button problem after rooting Spoiler Some users reported that the power button acts strangely after rooting. Resolution: Pretty much confirmed to be a problem with Lightflow. Issue 6: Keyboard lag Spoiler Some users reported keyboard lag, especially in landscape mode. Resolution: Most likely endemic and hopefully will be fixed by a software update. In the mean time, there are other keyboards available in the market. Issue 7: Bluetooth controls only work with Google music Spoiler Some users report that when using bluetooth headsets, the only app that works with the controls is Google music, other apps get locked out. Resolution: No more information at this time. Issue 8: Slow transfer speeds connecting with computer Spoiler Some users report very slow speeds when connecting to a computer to transfer files. Resolution: From my own experience, I did have this issue once when I plugged it in, it defaulted to USB1 mode, and not USB2. File transfer speeds were miserable. I unplugged and tried again and everything worked fine. Not sure about the long term resolution. Issue 9: Voice to text feature inconsistant Spoiler Some users report getting garbled text, no text, or even random info when trying to use the Voice to text feature, or voice actions. Resolution: No more information at this time.

BALTIMORE- UMBC senior forward Kadeem Dacres(Rosedale, N.Y./Mercer County CC) scored with 4:48 remaining in the second overtime period and the top-seeded Retrievers nipped Albany, 2-1, in the America East Conference semifinals.
The Retrievers, ranked No. 6 nationally, advance to their third title game in the last four years. UMBC (15-1-2) will host third-seeded Hartford (14-3-3), which advanced in penalty kicks past host New Hampshire. The title game will be played at 7:30 p.m. at Retriever Soccer Park.
Fifth-seeded Albany, which had routed No. 4 Vermont, 5-1, in the quarterfinals, finished the season at 6-11-4.
The Great Danes did not go quietly, as UMBC was 21 seconds away from winning a 1-0 decision. But Great Dane defender Dominic McGarr redirected a pass from Luke Palmateer from five yards out in a scramble in front of the Retriever goal to send the game to extra time.
But the Retrievers had all four shots in overtime and got the game-winner on a great effort by the America East Midfielder of the Year. He was fouled in the box, but UMBC was awarded an indirect kick about 13 yards from the goal. Junior Mamadou Kansaye (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh) struck a shot, but the ball hit an Albany defender and rebounded out to junior midfielder Michael DiCesare (Westerville, Ohio/St. Frances DeSales). His attempt was also blocked, but the ball caromed to Dacres, and his follow-up from seven yards out on the left side went under the roof of the goal.
The score was Dacres' seventh of the year and mirrored the 2012 semifinal win over Stony Brook, when he also netted the game-winning score.
Both teams had flurries in the first half, but the visitors had the best opportunities in a two-minute span midway through the half. UMBC senior netminder Phil Saunders (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall) made a great reaction save on a McGarr effort in the 18th minute and UA's Pomare Te Anau hit the post from 21 yards out moments later.
But the hosts turned up the pressure in the second half, outshooting Albany, 10-3. UMBC sophomore midfielder Malcolm Harris (Damascus, Md./McDonogh) scored the game's first goal with exactly 31 minutes remaining. Junior back Jordan Becker (Pocomoke, Md./Pocomoke) swung a ball into the box and Harris' wheeled and fired from seven yards out. Great Dane freshman goalkeeper Michael Pizzuti got a piece of it, but could not prevent Harris' first goal of the season.
UMBC outshot Albany, 22-7 and both netminders were credited with three saves.
Notes: The Retrievers had a streak of 501 scoreless minutes snapped in the final moments of regulation… Dacres had eight of UMBC's 22 shots in the contest…UMBC defeated Hartford, 2-1, in West Hartford on October 5… UMBC's 15 wins is the most since the 2000 squad won 15 and ties the second-most in school history.

Malaysian strawberries
Juicy, red, succulent strawberries…ever had a craving for some? Malaysians are very fortunate as we do not have to book the next plane ticket overseas as strawberries are grown right at our very doorsteps. Cameron Highlands, with its cooling climate and low temperatures is the most suitable place for these strawberries to thrive. Its low temperatures of 10 to 25 degrees Celsius, with a height of more than 1500 meters make the place suitable for the cultivation of strawberries.

You seem cool! You seem not terrifying. I think I saw you in the Facebook group for our class. I've carefully memorized the name of everyone in our class. We're gonna party so hard this year. I'm gonna follow you to parties this year. I hope the rest of our hall is cool. I hope the rest of our hall thinks I'm cool. Add me on Facebook so we can start figuring stuff out. Add me on Facebook so I can meticulously analyze each and every photo and wall post on your page. I love the Beatles too. We have nothing in common. Are you bringing a microwave? I'm not bringing a microwave. I'll bring a toaster! You should bring the microwave. I was gonna room with my friend, but he didn't get in. I didn't have any friends in high school. My friend's school started a month ago and he has the worst roommate stories. I didn't have any friends in high school. I can't wait to get there already! I didn't have any friends in high school. Let's share a mini-fridge. Let's have silent passive-aggressive battles about whose milk is whose. I'm cool with sharing. I'm cool with using all your stuff. You can pick your side of the room. You can pick which side of the room I secretly jerk off on and which side I openly jerk off on. I'm pretty neat. I'll pretend to be neat for the first month. I'm kind of messy. I'm horrifyingly disgusting. I'll make sure to pack my 4 consoles and 8 controllers. I'll make sure no girls come in our room all year. Are you thinking you'll take a lot of early classes? Are you thinking you'll make me wake up early and want to kill you? I got one of those whiteboards for our door. I'm expecting college to be exactly like Saved by the Bell: The College Years. I do some drugs but I'm not gonna go crazy or anything. I'm gonna go crazy. My mom's really gonna miss me. I'm really gonna miss my mom. My girlfriend might come visit sometimes. I'm not gay. Do you have a girlfriend? Are you gay? Or a boyfriend? Really, I'm cool with it if you're gay. Were you able to get your hands on a microwave? Seriously, you better bring the fucking microwave.

Louisiana duck hunters regularly harvest more ducks than any other state in the U.S. According to the most recent USFWS Waterfowl Harvest Report [3], Louisiana killed 1.85 million ducks during the 2009/2010 hunting season, more than any other state. Our hunters averaged over 23 ducks per hunt, which was second only to California where waterfowl hunters enjoy a 107-day duck season compared to only a 60-day season here in Louisiana. However, the overwhelming majority of those ducks harvested in Louisiana are produced somewhere else. Louisiana is a wintering state, arguably the most important wintering state in the U.S., but we rely on good habitat conditions on the breeding grounds in places like North and South Dakota in the U.S. and Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Canada, to produce those birds. Consequently, Louisiana waterfowl hunters and the LDWF feel a responsibility to support activities in those important breeding habitats.
That responsibility to participate in habitat conservation on the breeding grounds as well as here in Louisiana has manifested itself in state law providing for financial support for those conservation activities. Specifically, Revised Statute 56:104(A)(1)(b) states: An amount equal to ten percent of the fees collected from the sale of hunting licenses shall be dedicated by the commission to the development and preservation of breeding grounds for migratory waterfowl, the funds to be expended for such purposes through Ducks Unlimited, Inc. or under the direction of the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission at its discretion ... So Louisiana hunters support conservation activities on the breeding grounds as prescribed by law and directed by the LWF Commission.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries was the first state agency to provide funding for breeding grounds conservation outside of its boundaries starting in the early-1960's. From the beginning until 2002, all funding was administered through Ducks Unlimited to support projects to create, restore, and enhance wetland and grassland habitat for breeding waterfowl in Canada. In 2002, one-third of the money was awarded to Delta Waterfowl Foundation to support predator-control research in North Dakota, and in 2008, Delta Waterfowl was awarded half of the available funding to support a wetland easement program called Adopt-A-Pothole in Manitoba and Alternative Land Use Services program across the Canadian Prairie Provinces. During that time, Ducks Unlimited has continued their established programs to secure wetland and grassland easements, convert grain-crops to grassland habitat, increase cultivation of winter wheat, and manage existing acreage under conservation agreement from decades of past work to maximize the value of that acreage for breeding ducks.
Each year, reports from the conservation work supported by LDWF hunting license revenue is required prior to payment, and allows LDWF staff, LWF Commission members, and Louisiana's hunters to see what has been done with those funds. Below are the reports submitted by each organization for the past 2 contracts. The projects supported by contributions from state agencies across the U.S. have been extremely popular with nearly all states in the Central and Mississippi Flyway providing some level of support. In acknowledgement of the importance of the breeding grounds to the overall health of waterfowl populations, and thus our hunting success, we are looking forward to posting many more reports of this partnership between southern hunters and habitat conservation on the Canadian Prairies.

There have been day trips and twilight sails, working bees and winter sanding but finally we left the dock this Good Friday for our inaugural two nighter up beautiful South West Arm on the Port Hacking River.
Casting the lines off and putting out into the channel we cruised down to this convivial Easter anchorage, passing skiers and day trippers and soaking up the weekend holiday vibe.
Anchor down, we crack open the cheese and olives and sup a crisp verdelho for happy hour. The worries and stresses of our daily working lives can be seen washing away in the ebbing tide and out to sea, the change of scenery and a new experience replacing them for as long as we are here.
Toys be gone. A colouring book and some binoculars will suffice, the usual sibling bicker that erupts intermittently on a tiring school day has no place here.
Dinner from a flask. Slow cooked lamb casserole from last week, nuked to an inch of its life and poured into a heated flask is tipped into bowls and mopped up with sour dough and another glass of wine, a satisfying start to the weekend's menu on a boat with no stove or powered refrigeration.
The night descends and with tired little ones tucked in we sit on deck and chat and sip to a symphony of splashes as mullet and tailer launch themselves out of the water.
Morning dawns and the rowdy squawk of cockatoos can be heard up in the park. The boats around us come to life. The guttural splutter of the diesel engine on a motor cruiser charging the batteries to chill the beer and keep the bait cool. Ski boats can be heard zipping up and down in the distance as the waterway assumes its weekend playground persona. Bacon and eggs sizzle on deck barbeques, awakening our taste buds so we hop into the tinny with our camp stove and chug up the river for billy tea and a buttered hot cross bun, counting sting rays on the way.
Refreshed with a swim and the tea we make our way up river, spying swallows nests tucked into sandstone overhangs and marvelling at the angophoras clinging defiantly to the rocks. Grass trees sought after in urban gardens are two a penny. Water falls trickle from rocks, evidence of flowing damns and watercourses, so long absent from the Sydney basin in recent years.
As the river shallows and becomes a rocky creek we leave the tinny behind and after another swim we wander up the trickling creek and wash the salt off before heading back down river for lunch. As we leave, a gaggle of scouts arrive, ten in a tinny and ten more towed behind on a doughnut.
Boys in boats with oversized outboards whump past. Kyackers hug the river bends and the odd camper defies the park signs, the tinge of campfire smoke in the air giving them away.
Back on the boat. A sandwich, a book and a lazy hour or two on deck and soon the afternoon sun is well past the yard arm. Thoughts turn to happy hour and I jump in the tender with the kids and a cool bag. Whilst Reg takes a nap we row up a nearby inlet onto sand flats. The kids strip off and play in the shallows and the sand and the mud for a good hour, munching chips and cheese despite sandy fingers until the camp stove arrives and we cook up our lamp chops and crack a beer.
The light is changing and we are now in the shadow of the hill but the trees on the other side glow amber and the little red boat bobs on its anchor line, bathed in the warm evening light. Cockatoos resume their squawking as they return to their roost and the sea eagle soars tantalising out of my zoom range.
We pack up and the tinny tows us back in the tender, the girls cradling an enamel pudding basin with a paper towel blankets and an imaginary baby (you know what they say about necessity). We pass a raft of big motor boats. Retired types and seasoned cruisers give a friendly wave as we pass, scrubbed up and shaved, gin in hand ready for a jolly evening aboard.
Back on board salty bodies are rinsed on the deck in the twilight before being dropped into pyjamas and tucked up in the forepeak, lulled to sleep to the gentle rocking of the boat at anchor and soft Cornish shanty voices emanating from the stereo. We sip wine in the red hue of the dual switch cabin light before heading up on deck again. Tide and wind are opposed but wind wins and our flotilla of yacht, tinny and tender slowly spin and make closer neighbours with the MV Carribean. We chat and aquaint ourselves until the tide turns and we spin back to where we were.
At 2am I'm rudely awakened by a sand fly in my sleeping bag. I zap it with "Rid" and wriggle back in my bag. An owl hoots in the bush beyond. Thankyou sand fly. With morning comes the Easter Bunny but not before I steal a quiet morning row in the tender before the anchorage awakes. I return to the boat and the hunt is in full swing and chocolate fuels the day to come.
We breakfast on the beach again and head out in the tinny to meet friends. On the way home I snap the eagle. Edging ever closer I get the shot but he refuses to fly away sticking to his perch, denying me the chance to capture his impressive wingspan.
A surprise visit from friends on board is the perfect way to punctuate the weekend. Drinks come out, some olives and the rest of the cheese. Happy snaps and boat banter and finally goodbye.
As we put up the river and approach the quay I feel an impending sense of disappointment and the anticlimax of a holiday that felt too short. But we'll be back.

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 1 Issue 21 August 7, 2000
For more than seven years I've spent most of my professional time attempting to solve "the case of the missing ethics." Or, the missing honesty, or the civility, or decency, and integrity, or kindness - all those things missing from the current White House.
Also missing were the safeguards for the protection of our national security, and I have a firm belief that you can't have the one without the others.
I was invited up to the GOP Convention, and I agreed to go, knowing full well that those of us who had a large or small part of Clinton's Impeachment would be as welcome as ants are at a picnic. But I wanted to see what kinds of people George W. Bush and Richard Cheney would have as their associates and friends. I reasoned that many of the same people I saw at the convention would end up in a Bush/Cheney White House.
I arrived at the convention on Monday and went right to the media tents set up for those of us who didn't have anything to do with the actual work of the convention. I learned that access was much harder to get than access to the Clinton White House. Only those with the coveted yellow floor passes were given the best access. I finally knew how it felt to be denied access, and frankly I was envious of those who could come and go from the more secure areas by a wave of that magic yellow card.
For the next four days I met with dozens and dozens of good citizens from around the country, who were attending the convention in one capacity or another. Meanwhile I appeared on many national radio shows to report what I saw and what my impressions of these people were, and frankly, I was impressed.
Before and after each day's action being held at the convention site, I attended several related social events around Philadelphia. And there, many of the Bush and Cheney campaign staff mingled with the rest of the convention goers, enjoying the fellowship and a break from the stress and intensity of what was a very well organized, well managed convention - some say the best convention since 1984.
I listened to the speeches, and closely to the ones given by former Secretary Cheney and Governor Bush and they said pretty much what I expected they would say. There were no real surprises - I had seen Secretary Cheney before, when he was a major force in the Bush Administration. I knew many that worked for him at the Department of Defense. Uniformly he was liked very much by those in the military, and when he said to those same people, "Help is on the way," I knew exactly what he was trying to say. He knows that today's US military under Clinton and Gore has never had it so bad, unless you count Jimmy Carter's days in the White House, and who wants to remember that?
Everyone agreed that George Bush looked presidential. Many said that his speech was magnificent. I believe major portions of it will be quoted regularly and the speech will be remembered for its power, grace, and humility. I think his speech was very clever for its many obvious invitations to read between the lines.
In fact, there is no need to speak of the many Clinton/Gore blunders and outrages - there are so many and they will be so hard to forget. Likewise, there is no point to showcasing one, or even hundreds of individuals who worked night and day to bring Bill Clinton to some kind of justice, although the heart wants to thank them very much for their sacrifices. Many who labored to bring Clinton to court, now find themselves in tough reelection circumstances.
But in the process of finding the truth, genuine heroes like Bob Barr and Henry Hyde shone a bright light of truth on Clinton and Gore that will forever cement a vision of stark corruption into the American conscience. That frightening vision cannot be erased by time or by the cleverest of spin-doctors or even by history revisionists, and each time we see Al Gore we will remember him on the South Lawn of the White House on Impeachment day, telling the world that Clinton will go down as the best president we ever had...
Gore is correct about one thing: Clinton will go down, but not soon enough.
As Congressman Barr put it so clearly to a reporter who asked why nobody was talking about the many Clinton-Gore scandals Barr said, "The die is cast. The Clinton/Gore legacy is made, so what else is there to say?" Barr nailed it.
Most agree with him. The problem we have has been discovered, then investigated, then well defined. Now all that is left to do is for us to solve "the problem." Part of the solution is to replace the current administration and that's simply a product of time - the Constitution says so. But the more important question is, who will occupy the White House for the next four years?
I think I know. I was at the GOP Convention, and the people I met there were civil, polite, honest, decent, mature and all the things that Clinton/Gore are not. People are tired of the constant circus sideshow that this bunch has been. One friend said, "Decent folk cannot stand the thrill a minute, 24-hour a day porn show that the White House has become under Clinton/Gore." I think he's right.
The good folks I saw at the GOP convention were confident and determined, positive and optimistic. Those attitudes seem like a dynamite combination.
What else did I see at the GOP convention? I saw the future of this country in the balance, but I saw a vision that the American people would do the right thing. I still think this country is composed of mostly decent people.
Can Bush and Cheney address the many national security problems that would face them if indeed they win the election? In my next alert I'll suggest how they can address these important and urgent tasks. Can a Gore Administration fix what's wrong?
You'll be the judge of that in November.

In the morning the unexpected wind was strong enough to run the single elimination in freestyle. We saw some great action from the women and men on the water.
The day started with the skippersmeeting at 10 am. Suddenly the wind picked up and was strong enough to start the first freestyle heat at 10:30. With cross on shore winds of 15-20kts, British Freestlye Champion George Dufty took an early defeat against Alex Rodriges, which set the stage for a day of upsets. Riders took to the water on kites ranging from 13m, down to 8s for the women, with varying strength wind through out the day. There were many exciting heats, including Stefan Spiessberger who narrowly took the win over Paul Serin, with a score of 24.7 against Serins 23.9, and also Sabrina Lutz who lost marginally to Annelous Lammerts (current European Champion). Current vice World Champion, Alex Pastor put on a great show throughout the day landing incredible tricks in the tricky choppy conditions, including SMobe 5s, front blind mobes, and even tail grab KGBs. Lammerts continued to look good, with some very nice sbends to blinds, allowing her to take the win in the womens Single Elimination final against Therese Taabbel. The mens final was set to be an epic, with Alex Pastor against Stefan Spiessberger. With dropping winds, the riders struggled to stay upwind, and Pastor performed a few tricks outside of the competition area. Stefan showed his dominance of the day with a powered shifty 315, Blind313, front to blind, melon back to blind, and an smobe. This was enough to defeat Alex Pastor and take the win. Mario Rodwald performed really well as well and won the loosers final againts Valentin Garat. All over all the day was successfull for the freestylers. The wind dropped to 5 knots when the boatcrew was ready to set the course. Finally with shifting wind we managed one race today, won by Florian Gruber, followed by Julien Kerneur and Ivan Doronin. Astrid Berz from Switzerland won the only race of the day before Anastasia Akapova and Jade O'Connor.
We finished the day with a nice Paella and a camp fire.
Tomorrow skippersmeeting will be at 10 am for freestylers and course racers.

Given the significant amount of blood and treasure that movie studios expend on their annual Oscar campaigns, you'd think that there would be a decent monetary windfall once the nominations were formally announced. But it will SHOCK you to learn that most moviegoers don't make it a priority to see every Oscar-nominated movie. To whit: Only three Oscar-nominated movies saw a bump in business this past weekend, and no Oscar-nominated film could compete with Liam Neeson opening a can of whoop-ass out on a pack of wolves. Let's look at the final chart via Box Office Mojo.
1. The Grey - $20.0M
2. Underworld Awakening - $12.5M
3. One For The Money - $11.8M
4. Red Tails - $10.4M
5. Man On A Ledge - $8.3M
6. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close - $7.1M
7. The Descendants - 6.6M
8. Contraband - $6.5M
9. Beauty & The Beast 3D - $5.3M
10. Haywire - $4.0M
The only Oscar-nominated film to sneak back into the Top 10 after the nominations was "The Descendants," which cannot be killed with traditional weaponry. Even "Extreme Loud And Incredibly Long Title" didn't see an increase in ticket sales. Let's see if the noms helped at all in our little PBCS formula. REVEAL THE STANDINGS!
1. The Descendants - 906
2. The Artist - 703
3. The Grey - 244
4. The Iron Lady - 95
5. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - 84
6. Beauty & The Beast 3D - 83
7. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close - 65
8. Contraband - 46
9. Haywire - 31
10. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol - 27
As you can see, the increase in business for both "The Descendants" and "The Artist" helped both those movies in the PBCS rankings week. But they were the exceptions. Every other Oscar movie on here saw a drop. And when you consider the modest box office tallies for the Top 2, you have to wonder when studios will wise up and stop wasting money on the awards circuit. You could probably fund six more "Descendants" with the cash leftover. And "The Grey" only cost $25 million! MOAR WOLF KILLING, PLEEZ.
Elsewhere, you'll notice that "One For The Money" didn't crack our standings, mostly because it got a 3% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. If it had gotten a zero, it would have overridden everything else in our formula, meaning it could have earned $5 billion on a budget of six cents and still not cracked our top ten. Kind of neat, when you think about it. Don't expect TTSS to stay in this list next week, as it stands poised to fall below the $1 million threshold.
