The question: Is religion good for women?
I am irked by this question, the sense it carries with it that women are some kind of second best, an after-thought for religion, that require special attention. Women aren't a remnant, or an aberration whose existence is there simply to sweep up the leftover genetic code off the floor and perpetuate the species. Women are fundamental to successful human flourishing – both physical and spiritual. It comes as no surprise to me that with the constant oppression that women face – whether in the name of religion or the cultural codes that seem to exist across all societies – the result is human society as a whole lurching from one failure to another. How can the human environment we all live in blossom if half of its inhabitants suffer in so many ways because of their gender?
As a Muslim woman, I was annoyed by the opening blurb introducing the question "Is religion good for women?" that set the background to the question saying that the Abrahamic faiths "believe in a father God, ruling the world through a network of men". Islam emphatically does not believe in a father God. The divine is gender-neutral. The more I have discussed religion, the more I have found myself veering away from the word "God" for the very reason that it seems to carry historical baggage with it that in vulgar terms is very male, with a long beard and throne somewhere on high, which immediately engenders (yes, pun intended) a sense of exclusion in all of us who are non-male, or at the very least non-bearded, or non-throned.
Instead, I have found myself using other terms from within the Islamic paradigm like "the divine", or "the creator" or even borrowing from other mystical traditions with a word like "enlightenment", in order to get rid of the accepted male status quo within religion.
The fundamental way of knowing "the divine" as a Muslim are the 99 names which describe the qualities of the deity. Islamic scholars have grouped these broadly into two halves, male and female, and any comprehensive understanding and connection to the divine must understand and embrace both the male and the female attributes. By extension, human beings also aspire to manifest all of these qualities, which therefore underlines the critical importance of the female within any sort of understanding and practice of religion.
Men and women in Islamic theology were "created from a single soul", as quoted in the Qur'an, and are "made in pairs". The origins and relationship of men and women are therefore equal and equitable, neither one being able to exist or fully function without the other. The assumption behind the phrase "a network of men" is therefore also false. Every story related in scripture almost invariably has a man and a woman who carry the message together. Jesus and Mary, Moses and Miriam, Muhammed and Khadija. These stories are told in Islamic scripture with feisty, spiritual women who change the course of history.
Take the story of Mary as related in the Qur'an. Her father promised that his unborn child would be dedicated to God and would serve in the temple. He was surprised to find it was a girl – Mary – as only boys were traditionally dedicated for this purpose. He is instructed by the divine to continue with his dedication, and Mary went to live in the temple, shocking those around him with the idea that a woman could be worthy enough to serve the divine, a privilege previously accorded only to men. Mary's very presence in the temple was designed to crush oppressive and misogynistic ideas, but many of these are still perpetuated vigorously today. As an aside, I should mention that Islamic tale of Mary's birth of Jesus is told without reference to any male father figure. There is no Joseph, instead Mary is the epitome of the strong single mother whose neighbours gossip about her, but who raises a great child.
With such a powerful parable to draw on, and with the fundamental blueprint of gender relations in Islam being framed in the paradigm of "a single soul" I often ask myself why women are still treated as second best. I find it incomprehensible that women are excluded from some mosques, when by decree Mary was placed at the place of worship. I find it equally baffling that men treat women as lesser beings when the clear instruction is that both are created from the same spiritual fabric. All other actions must be carried out in the context of this basic human blueprint.
The problem is, those who have power will justify keeping it in any way they can, sometimes by conveniently forgetting the underlying principles of religion. The challenge is to reject black-and-white polarising questions like "Is religion good for women" and start from the basic fundamentals of equality. "Created from a single soul" seems a pretty good place to start to overturn the misogynists.

Disclaimer: If I was clever enough to come up with Inception, I would have retired by now...probably so I could spend all my time writing not-for-profit fanfiction.
A/N: Saw the movie, fell in love, had to write something, thought I might as well post it because it was getting lonely on my desktop.
By the time her luggage appeared on the baggage terminal, Ariadne had redesigned all of LAX, trying to make the aloof building into the sort of place you wouldn't resent staying at after 15 hours in a cramped airplane. The layout around her didn't shift unfortunately—she had to be content with her imagination. There was a small frown on her face that had nothing to do with how exhausted she felt (a week in the head of a distraught businessman was even worse than 15 hours on a plane) as she checked that she had grabbed the right suitcase. Limits had never really been her thing.
A false name was printed on the tag on her bag, of course. Standard procedure Arthur had explained, the same way he explained everything, breaking down the impossible into mundane steps that even a beginner like Ariadne (a brilliant novice, but a novice nonetheless) could easily follow. Now that she had her suitcase all she had to do was remember the name of the hotel she was supposed to go to for the weekend and pretend like her life was perfectly normal.
"Let me buy you lunch."
The voice came out of nowhere, but she was too tired to do much but turn a quizzical glance in Arthur's direction. Hadn't he been the one who told her that they were to all be strangers at the airport? The plan was how she justified Cobb's retreating back despite all the risks she had run for him recently. All she had gotten was a brief nod from Yusef and a broad wink from Eames—and she was certain Eames, at least, would have said something (inappropriate) if it was allowed.
But this was Arthur. Even in the haze of exhaustion that not even her well-earned triumph could pierce through (the celebration could commence after graduation) Ariadne understood that it couldn't be against the rules of the mission if Arthur was doing it. While he seemed to enjoy breaking rules (stealing ideas, stealing kisses), he didn't let anything (not even the loss of gravity) interfere with his careful planned jobs.
A glance around informed her that they were alone for all intents and purposes. Fischer was gone, as was the rest of the team. They were just two more strangers in a crowded airport.
A businessman trying to pick-up a wide-eyed student on his trip out of town—weren't they cliché?
Realizing that she should reply before the smirk on his face grew any larger, Ariadne said, "I can afford to buy myself lunch."
Leaning just a little bit closer (why not? He was the one trying to pick her up) she whispered conspiratorially, "I'm a millionaire."
Now he was the one stepping forward. A ploy to keep himself from being overheard she knew but didn't care. World's longest flight or not, Arthur still looked perfectly pressed (she suspected he had somehow managed to smuggle an iron on board while no one was looking).
"Don't sell yourself short. You're a multimillionaire."
Her socks had a hole in them (they were the lucky ones she had worn every exam period since high school; it had seemed fitting, somehow). The rubber of her sole pressed against the exposed toe. It was hard to believe him even if she had started taking his word as truth lately. When she saw the zeroes in her bank account then (maybe) she'd accept that what they had just done was real, that she hadn't just dreamed up the whole thing.
Fingering the bishop in her pocket, she fell into step beside him. She was starving and he seemed to know where he was going. He always seemed to know.
That was part of what attracted her to the team—their self-assuredness. Even with Cobb falling apart (and his subconscious was literally screaming in her face), he still managed to radiate a mastery of his craft that made her desperate to pick his mind apart. Eames, Yusef and Saito all knew they were damn good at what they did, while Arthur was given the distinction of being professional confidence personified in Ariadne's head. It was hard not to believe she was a brilliant architect when she was around them. Not one of them would have accepted anything short of perfection.
So when they came to the small restaurant just blocks from the airport Ariadne was pleased but in no way surprised to find that while Arthur was a tad over-dressed (when wasn't he, really?) she was not. The entire place seemed made for her, simple and neat despite the deceptive chaos and complications that would distract all but the most discerning patrons. When she asked whether he had been there before or had simply researched ahead, he merely gave her that enigmatic smile and held open the door for her.
When they sat down, she tipped over her bishop. The action was done to develop good habits, not because she was confused (in reality, Arthur was just that good). Cobb had carried his totem because he didn't trust himself; the rest of the team, Ariadne quickly understood, carried them because they didn't trust other people. Like everything about the dreams, it was the details that made a world of difference.
"I bet you know what the specials here are, too."
She suddenly became aware of just how much silence they had indulged in (exhaustion was a conversation-killer). Arthur seemed to realize it too because instead of his standard concise explanation, she got a few sentences out of him.
It was almost like the few other vaguely awkward first dates she had been on even if the man in the suit was nothing like the nervous boys who usually took her out (and she was mostly sure it wasn't a date). They kept to small talk, about the restaurant and the weather, to keep their cover and to give themselves time to recover. The waiter gave them a knowing smile, which they pretended not to notice. Ariadne spent far too long staring at the menu worried about the price and what each dish would say about her. And then the waiter left, she noticed their table was secluded, and they moved swiftly from first date awkwardness to fifth date (at least) familiarity. The chit chat became actually conversation and the responses contained actually information.
Considering she was a genius, Ariadne was ashamed to admit that it took her until desert to realize that while she now knew a whole lot more about Cobb and Eames (would she be able to look the forger in the eye without laughing ever again? Probably not) and Arthur now knew a little too much about her (everything from the name of her first cat to all the notebooks she had gone through as a child trying to design the perfect dollhouse) she still knew next to nothing about him. It made her feel childish, spilling her secrets to a man who guarded his so carefully. Perhaps he liked playing the enigma too well. Or maybe (she had just helped do the impossible and she was feeling generous) Arthur just wasn't any good at sharing.
She knew he liked suits and order, but anyone who spent twenty seconds in his company could have figured that out. His taste in art she had deduced weeks before he admitted it aloud. While knowing his favorite food and just how many countries he had been to was probably more than most people got, it wasn't enough for the always curious architect. At least he finally confirmed he was American born and raised; it wasn't just another illusion.
He was possibly ex-military—she wasn't quite sure about that. His comment was vague enough that he could have been a military brat instead, or maybe he just liked war movies. Or maybe she was just projecting.
She didn't think she was. Someone somewhere had to have spent billions of dollars making Arthur what he was, perfect reflexes and infinite calm. People didn't use weapons as easily as they breathed or just stand there tranquilly as their partner/mentor/friend screamed in their face without a lot of practice. Suspension of disbelief was something she was good at now, but despite all the strange new facts Ariadne had been willing to accept, Arthur's behavior being natural was not one of them.
It wasn't that she minded that he sometimes seemed to be impersonating a robot—she could spot the glimmer of amusement in his eyes, the tug on the corner of his mouth even without trying. But the knowledge of how he became what he was didn't seem to be forthcoming and that just left Ariadne with questions she couldn't answer (she didn't think she would be able to sneak into his memories).
She hated being left unsatisfied.
At least when she told him about her first attempt at building a model of one of her designs, she got to hear him laugh. For a rarely heard sound, it was strong and sure (she would have expected nothing less). She thought he should laugh more often; there were dimples when he smiled that proved once and for all that he was just as flesh and blood as she was.
Over coffee, she explained that she was going to need caffeine pumped intravenously in order to catch up and graduate with all the honors she deserved. Secretly, she was hoping he would provide a neat solution to the problem, but her disappointment was short-lived, distracted by his next question.
"And what do you plan to do after graduation?"
It wasn't just wistful thinking that had her convinced that his question was pointed—if his gaze had been that intense during lunch she would have burned away long ago.
"I don't know." That's what she usually said, trying to keep her options opened because she only wanted the best, she just wasn't sure what that was. But now there was nothing vague about her desires.
Ariadne wanted to create. Forever, if possible.
"You know what I want to do," she said, trying to match his poise.
She was rewarded for her boldness by a rare smile (value increased when scarcity was high, so it was no wonder she valued it so highly). When he smiled, Arthur could have been the boy next door, all open charm and dazzling pearly whites. Appearances were deceiving; no wonder he worked so hard at his.
"I suppose the question then becomes whether you can live your dream or not."
That was certainly the question. The opportunity was at hand, if the way he lingered over the word dream was any indication.
"Arthur," she began, crossing her arms on the table and leaning forward until she was half-hovering over the table in her eagerness, "Is this a date or a job interview?"
The smirk was back and it set her heart thundering because she was sure there wasn't any way she wouldn't like what he had to say next. Her heart went double time when he replied:
"Why can't it be both?"
"A little greedy there, aren't you?" Any minute now she would look away, breaking the strange hold they seemed to have over each other. Soon.
"Well, it was worth a shot."
Despite all her attempts at seeming confident and self-possessed, Ariadne felt her cheeks turn pink at the sudden recollection of a half-forgotten dream. Arthur was too smooth for his (and her) own good.
The waiter broke the spell he had cast over her with his matter-of-fact tone and warm eyes. She didn't dare look up, afraid it would happen again, knowing she couldn't be the easily seduced student if she wanted to get all that she needed from him.
Once the bill had been settled (he paid) she had to ask: "Do you take all your business partners out like this?"
"Eames still hasn't forgiven me for not enjoying our dinner as much as he did."
Laughing, she dared look up again. The atmosphere was more relaxed than before, the tension destroyed. Ariadne sat at the table quite comfortably as Arthur propositioned her in a way that was infinitely better than any steamy encounter could ever be (even if she was still curious to find out if his obsession with details translated to all aspects of his life).
"We should continue working together. I like working with the best and you could be a better architect than even Cobb was."
"Better than Cobb? You'll have to do better than empty flattery."
"Not a better partner," he corrected gently. She tried not to feel offended. Architecture was what she lived for, not stealing (however brilliantly it was done). Still, for someone who had been at the top of her class since first grade, it was hard to hear she was second best. "But maybe you'll prove me wrong."
Arrogance made her think she could. Common sense told her she didn't want to—she wasn't Cobb. She had no desire to navigate the human mind, not when she could create worlds with a single thought.
"Building comes first."
He nodded; it was what he had expected, after all.
"You'll definitely need a partner then, not to mention contacts. And protection," he added reluctantly, seemingly wary of offending her, though she wasn't hurt at hearing that truth, "Until you've learned to defend yourself more thoroughly against the projections. And anyone you may upset in this world."
"Seems like you'd be doing a lot for me."
As much as she liked having him as a teacher, she didn't want to graduate only to find herself stuck as a perpetual student.
"I'm one of the best at what I do." He wasn't bragging. Despite the taunts the came from Eames and the encouragement that came from Yusef, Arthur had glossed over the difficulties of creating a kick in zero gravity. The job was done; the details no longer mattered. For him to state his worth so openly meant he thought it was an indisputable fact. "Clients don't always want to pay for the best," he admitted. "But they have to pay for an architect and a good one, at that. You'd never have a shortage of offers."
"And if we were a packaged deal, neither would you."
She had expected Arthur to find a new partner if Cobb managed to get out even if she hadn't dared hope it would be her. While she didn't doubt him capable of being on his own, spending time researching a new team meticulously took time away from the real mission. Whereas Eames (and Yusef, in a different way) seemed like a lone wolf, ready to work together only until he felt like being on his own again, Arthur struck her a pack animal. He had stuck by Cobb when few would have—familiarity was important to him. Not to mention loyalty. And, of course, you couldn't take point if you worked alone.
"Jobs only come if you know how to get them," he reminded her.
"I could find some," she said, trying to appear just a little less dependent.
"Through who?"
"Professor Miles got me one job; he might be able to get me another."
If his disposition had been different, Arthur might have snorted. As it was he just looked at her in disbelief.
"His type of jobs would be few and far between. Not to mention...your talent would be wasted on legitimate jobs."
Despite all that she had done in the past few weeks (and the last few hours) Ariadne couldn't help but cringe at Arthur's disdain for lawful work.
For all Cobb's attempts to convince her otherwise she had never forgotten her first impression of him—he was a man with a twisted, dangerous mind. It had colored her impression of all the others, but she didn't think that was unfair. Violence and destruction followed them everywhere. Eames had fought a small war in Fischer's subconscious for a whole lot of money, but mostly for the hell of it. For all of Saito's respectability he had insisted on being on the front lines—hell, he had started everything, knowing very well what it all meant. Saito was a billionaire—and a thug. Eames was a thug. Cobb was a thug. Arthur, she understood finally, was a thug in a designer suit.
Penchant for violence or not, he was still too observant.
"There are quasi-legal jobs we could take. Medical experiments that would look the other way at where we learned to do what they needed us to do, for example, or smaller jobs that only hurt the people who bring it on themselves."
"You'd do that?"
"It's too dangerous to have you do jobs you're uncomfortable with. You're subconscious might try and sabotage us." Like Cobb's, but he was careful not to say it. "My job remains essentially the same no matter what—draw off the subconscious long enough to keep the architect alive long enough for one of us to extract what we need."
As long as he got to indulge in terrifying violence, he would be content. Who was she to judge? Wasn't she essentially the same?
"Thank you." Was the chivalry just lip service? Or was she that valuable that he didn't dare risk alienating her just yet? She didn't know. It didn't matter. "But you don't have to do that. As long as we don't really kill anyone I... I'd be fine with whatever you wanted to do."
Legal or not. She wanted the challenge, not the money. If corporate espionage was harder than medical trials, Ariadne didn't even consider it a choice.
His voice reminded her of a father confessor, gently chiding her into spilling her secrets because showing him her soul would feel so damn good. There was a promise, too, when he said her name like that—he would fix everything, if he could. Too bad he couldn't. As much as she hated being the repentant child (especially in front of him, with his damn certainty) she couldn't help it.
Fiddling with her empty coffee cup, she admitted: "I shot Mal."
And killed Fischer, but he didn't count. She could justify pushing him off of a building—she was just saving him from Limbo. When she pushed him to his death all she was thinking about was helping him.
What she had done to Mal haunted her more than killing Fischer, even if he was a human being and Mal (as even Cobb had finally admitted) was just a shade.
The real Mal (the lovely Mal that Ariadne had never known except in Arthur's unexpectedly reverent tone and Cobb's terrifying devotion) was long dead. The woman in Fischer's subconscious was not Mal, was not real expect for how she felt to Cobb. And her death was not real except to Cobb, who had finally let her go—and Ariadne, who had shot her.
Real or not, Ariadne had put a bullet in Mal's body because she had to save Cobb, because she was terrified of being stuck in limbo by herself, because...because she really hated that bitch.
It was terrifyingly easy to shoot someone.
Just like the power of her own mind that was not a fact Ariadne could ever unlearn.
"Maybe you will be a better partner than Cobb was," Arthur said, just as quietly. "You cover for him remarkably well."
His expression was unreadable and Ariadne was left with no idea how much he knew or how much he had guessed. Eames had told everyone what Mal had almost cost them. Had Arthur realized how bad Cobb (and Ariadne) had let it get? Did he blame himself for not seeing what all the signs meant beforehand? She hoped not. She couldn't work with another man with an armed guilt complex.
And she had to keep working with Arthur. Eames and Yusef wouldn't take her on, Saito was out of her league and Cobb was out entirely. By process of elimination Arthur had become the sole gatekeeper to the brilliant new world that Ariadne was certain she had to inhabit.
"Thank you, I think. Anyway, I just wanted you to know I can handle the projections. No matter how dangerous."
That wasn't all she wanted him to know, but he seemed to understand. She needed one more lesson: how did she live with the knowledge of how easy it was to destroy?
"I'm sorry you had to be the one to take down Mal," was all he said. For once he looked unsure—she had more experience than him in this one field, at comforting people. It was nothing, really, but Ariadne found it surprisingly reassuring nonetheless. "It's just the way it is in the dreams. Creation goes hand in hand with destruction."
In order to keep creating, Ariadne was willing to destroy whatever was necessary. That was another truth she could not unlearn.
She used to think she was a good person—not a great human being, but a decent one. She was brilliant, but she never rubbed it in anyone's face. She didn't steal, she paid her rent on time, she even voted despite living in a foreign country. There was nothing exemplary about her moral character, but she was still a decent person.
It was going to take more time to adjust to her new perception of self (a mostly decent thief still made her a crook) than it had to adjust to the shared-dream technology.
But the dreams would help. Playing god in her own dream landscape would make her more comfortable playing god in the minds of others. She would learn to be comfortable looking into the dark recesses on the mind and with pulling the trigger at whoever got in her way. The dreams would make her glorious—and a little less decent.
Nothing was free. There was a price for creation and Ariadne now had no choice but to pay it because she wasn't ever going to give it up.
"I take it we would go fifty-fifty," she said abruptly. Was Arthur's attention to detail just his way of not dwelling on what he has lost?
With some annoyance she remembered she didn't know enough about him to discover if he had lost anything. If they were going to be partners, he needed to work on sharing.
That was too easy.
"Architect's usually get more?"
"Yes, but they usually have more experience defending themselves. Not to mention they tend to get their own clients. We can renegotiate eventually, but for now I'm being more than fair."
So she really was that valuable.
"You won't lose me," she promised. She liked familiarity too.
"You could decide this isn't the career for you or you could find an extractor who suits your working habits better. You could find yourself unable to build. Not to mention there are a number of dangers in this line of work that you may not survive. What we do is dangerous, Ariadne. There can't be any promises."
"Thank you," she said, surprising them both.
"For what?"
"I might wish you'd tell me more, but you always seem to be honest."
"What more do you want to know?"
It was such a loaded question she was shocked the conscientious researcher had asked it.
What did she want to know?
What didn't she want to know?
She wanted to know how high she could build a tower before she broke through the atmosphere. She wanted to know how many bridges across the Atlantic Ocean she could fit along the coasts of four continents. She wanted to know what the Pyramids looked like upside down. She wanted to know how many of Escher's other works she could actualize. She wanted to know if she could play at being god and then be happy on earth. She thought she could, but she was unsure—the uncertainty bothered her most of all, so she needed to find out.
In the back of her mind, she also wanted to find out how long it took to undress a man in a three-piece suit (for scientific reasons, of course, just so she could say she knew that too).
"What are you going to do now?"
It seemed that Arthur was part of her reality now, so she had time to open him up. She would start by asking him easy questions.
"I'm going to walk you to your hotel, then take a taxi to mine. I'll change," she couldn't help smiling at his vanity, "Then I'll hunt down an old...friend of mine and see if there's something for me here. If not, LAX has a lot of flights and I'll see what I can find."
He'd build his own world.
"Meanwhile, I'll be trying to not fail school."
"I'll contact you after graduation."
"If something comes up that you need me for before then..."
Her eagerness embarrassed her. There wasn't any need to make herself sound desperate, even if she was.
"I'll see you soon enough, but you'll be more valuable if there aren't any holes in your education. Besides, you can use the time to prepare."
He was giving her time to make peace with the cost of it, with all the little bits of her integrity that she was going to have to give up. She didn't even consider he might be hoping she'd change her mind—Arthur would know better.
While he was gone living a life she now craved, she would be trying to convince herself that words like decency and right didn't mean what she always thought they did. In the world of her own mind she would redraw the definition of each so that she now stood where she had to be in order to live with herself. Her thought process would defy all known ethics and logic, but Arthur had taught her a lot about paradoxes and perspectives. She would find a way to adapt. Just the thought of a chance of creating convinced her she would succeed.
Too quickly, she knew.
"I guess I'm stuck practicing the old-fashioned way," she complained lightly.
"You'll be doing more than practicing soon enough. Just graduate or Professor Miles will have my head."
There was affection but also some real fear in his voice and Ariadne had an unexpected wave of affection for the old man who made criminals reconsider and the young man who tried to do right by her in the small ways he could.
When he offered her a hand as he stood to leave, she took it, letting him steady her (the flight was long and her feet hurt). For all his smoothness, Arthur had rough hands. She suspected whatever training he had was responsible, but that didn't stop her from enjoying the feel of them. She didn't let go and he made no move to drop her hand, either. It was a small complication, but nothing compared to the other dangers they could face so they didn't shy away.
"I'm really going to get to do...everything," she said, not to him but to herself, as they stood in the sunlight outside of the restaurant. She was a little afraid she would just fly away if she let go of him, buoyed up by her happiness (she was going to be an architect—she was going to be the best damn architect the world had ever seen). "It feels too good to be real. This isn't a dream, is it?"
An elegant eyebrow rose on his face. If his life of crime didn't work out, Ariadne thought, Arthur should pick up an English accent and become a butler.
"Are you really asking me that?"
"Of course not. I just..." The smile on her face made it difficult to articulate the joy bubbling up inside her, the success of the inception job finally hitting her along with all her hopes for the future. "You know?"
Arthur did. It was why she still hadn't released his hand even though she might be ruining the best thing that had ever happened to her before it even began. Thug or not, businessman or not, point man forever, Arthur understood what she meant. Whether you could tell up from down, nothing mattered except doing that one thing you could do better than anyone else in the world.
His fingers squeezed hers gently and the already beloved smile graced his face. Yes, Arthur understood. It was why he leaned closer and—right before his lips touched hers—whispered:
"Then here's to never waking up."

Rimteks speciality is repairing heavily damaged alloy wheels. We have over 30 years experience in the motor trade industry, this has given us exposure to a huge variety of damaged wheels which we have successfully repaired.

Our state of the art straightening and Tig welding experience give us the tools to help bring them back to their original condition.
Even if you have obsolete or discontinued wheels – we can help. Our expertise is with wheels, our experience long and wide – your wheels will be brought back to life. Why renew a whole set of wheels when you can have the damaged wheel repaired by Rimtek! Our Bradford workshop can repair 99% of buckled or bent alloy wheels at a fraction of the cost of a new one.

There are few things less frustrating as being unable to get a wheel off when you need to because the locking nut is stuck or you don`t have the key.
Most people don't even look for the locking nut key until they have a puncture or their car
fails its MOT due to bald tyres!

The point is that there has been considerable research done since Rashid left for Microsoft, particularly with L4 at Dresden University, concerning microkernel performance, thereby showing up more clearly some of the advantages and disadvantages. Note that: a) L4 is actually a small microkernel; b) OSKit has been showing off that it is useful to create an OS infrastructure surrounding memory allocation schemes in order to be supportive of specialized languages; c) Most early microkernels seem to have been monolithic systems, unlike Hurd. The other point is that it may eventually make sense to throw away the code and create something fresher. -- Howe's Law: Everyone has a scheme that will not work. email@example.com- <http://www.hex.net/~cbbrowne/lsf.html>

El Gato Negro To Hold Secret, Exclusive Prohibition Evening Next Week
Step back in time...
Toast Repeal Day
December 5th is the day when Prohibition - the ban on both the production and sale of booze (do we hear a boo?) came to an end in 1933.
To celebrate that fine day, El Gato Negro are holding a clandestine event in their celebrated Black Cat bar upstairs (boasting Manchester's only retractable roof.)
Food and wine aficionados are invited to come along to sample the Black Cat's specially created craft cocktails which will include:
- The Bee's Knees (a tantalising blend of Tito's Handmade Vodka, wild blossom honey and orange blossom)
- The White Water Rickey (a mix of Buffalo Trace Bourbon and homemade strawberry iced tea soda.)
- Branca Brew (a dark blend of Fernet-Branca, fig liqueur and dry lager.)
Though the full recipe is a well-kept secret, Fernet is made from a number of herbs and spices. It was actually classified as 'medicinal' during the Prohibition era, proving hugely popular in San Francisco and elsewhere.
So do like the San Franciscans this Repeal Day and give your merrymaking a healthy (ish) makeover. Expect vintage glamour, blacked-out windows and a live swing band in this perfect Prohibition hideaway.
Prohibition Swing Club will be the good folk on-hand to provide the evening's musical entertainment and guests will be encouraged to shake and swing their tail feathers to the speakeasy beat.
The intimate event starts at 7pm and no official booking is required.
Access is recommended via the backdoors on South King Street in order to "elude prying eyes." Discounts will be offered to those who have secured the secret passcode or to those in 1920's attire.

The agent of Alexander Merkel says he knows nothing of rumours that the Genoa man is wanted by Udinese.
Reports insist that the German could move to the Stadio Friuli in January as part of the deal that may see Antonio Floro Flores, currently on loan at Granada, move in the opposite direction [12].
"I'm not able to say anything about Merkel's situation," agent Fabio Parisi stated. "I've been in Miami for five days and I haven't spoken to anyone.
"I've not been in touch with the player and Genoa have not been in touch with me."
The 20-year-old returned to Marassi this summer after spending the second half of last season at Milan.
He's only appeared in five games for the struggling outfit this term, scoring one goal in the process.

2014 World Cup: Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah shuts door on 'troubled' midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng
K. Appiah
By Patrick Akoto
Kevin-Prince Boateng's international career with Ghana has been thrown into serious doubt after Kwesi Appiah revealed on Wednesday that he's no longer part of his future plans.
The 27-year-old has been suspended indefinitely after he clashed with the Ghanaian trainer during the failed 2014 World Cup campaign in Brazil.
The Schalke ace is reported to have insulted coach Kwesi Appiah, which prompted the Ghana FA to slap him with an indefinite ban.
Addressing a packed media on Wednesday in Ghana's capital, Accra, the soft-spoken trainer has revealed he has shut the door on the former AC Milan man, at least for now.
"Managing the egos of players is a very difficult job. But when you realise the attitude of a player has become a distraction to the team, then you must wield the axe,"
"On the specific issue of Kevin-Boateng, Â I will say that for now, he's not part of my plans.
"We have to look at the younger players who have shown tremendous commitment to the national team and work with them.
Boateng alongside his former Portsmouth colleague Sulley Muntari were expelled from the team on disciplinary grounds.
Muntari physically assaulted a Ghana FA top official in what the FA has termed as 'unprovoked' attack during a meeting to address their appearance fee row.
The Schalke midfielder only staged a return to the Black Stars in August 2013 after a two-year absence.
The Africans campaign at the global showpiece has been embroiled in massive controversy after players rebelled against unpaid monies owed and threatened to boycott their final group G game against Portugal.
They only rescinded their decision after $3 million was spectacularly flown to Brasilia to be shared among them in an unpopular 'soap opera' in the South American country.

Audrey advise your dad to resign..you are looking at your lucrative contract money to make mouth mouth....Coach AA and GFA must be charged for causing a financial loss to state for a employing an experimental coach to destroy Ghana soccer.
ghanaluv says:July 02, 2014 02:46 pmis that committee bigger than Ghana. Ghanaians say no their view should be respected. no coach is ever given such a chance there should be consistency or it will breed problems what criteria do they use to dismiss some coaches when they fail to perform and what criteria are they using to keep AA. Even If they were fare they would select a local coach with the brightest prospect, people with documented track record and tactically astitute, but not AA. I AM 100% AGAINST IT. GOD WILL PUNISH THEM.
kesse says:July 02, 2014 02:48 pmNonsense....who are you to shut the door of a most talented footballer.dumb coach

Boro says:July 02, 2014 05:58 pmYou failure to recognised the inlusion of Essien, Muntari and KPB into the final squad should be the reason for you to resign or be forced to resign. The trio gave enough signs to indicate that they are a pack of dynamite waiting to be exploded to stop our dream. Their failure to join the team in time and their demeanour could predict they did not mean good for our otherwise achievable semis yet you people were so dumb that you could not recognise this. I predicted on this forum that those three guys had nothing to lose and sensing that majority of Ghanaians did not approve of their inclusion they will try as much as possible to ruin this tournament for Ghanaians but I guess as dumb as you are you never was able to undertand those warnings. Go in peace else you will be forced to leave in pieces.
OGYA says:July 02, 2014 06:28 pm**** You peanut Brain coach, who told you, you are part of Ghana plan forward. We do not need any dumb asses from the village to run the National team. Akwesi needs to go
Nii from Mamprobi says:July 02, 2014 07:17 pmIncompetence is rewarded in Ghana -Yawa So in 2014 an organization like GFA went to WC with out the below participation contracts and player conduct and payment agreements in place? Any where else this would be terms of dismissal for mismanagement. -And an immediate lesson from the debacle is that discipline will henceforth be a prerequisite to enlist any player into the team, and the players themselves will be made to sign contracts that would spell out their engagements with the team and govern the payment of allowances.
chris opoku says:July 02, 2014 09:22 pmWhy only Boateng? Rubbish
Kantoosw says:July 02, 2014 10:39 pmIf I was a Journalist my only question is Why do you swap goal keepers? So Kwarasey is no longer our first choice Keeper?
mam gana says:July 02, 2014 11:15 pmYou are a kid mumbi. We propose to women to marry us but that does not mean they should be disobedient. This guys KPB, muntari and Essien are not so good any more as they used to be. They are declining in form watch how they used to run 2 years ago and now. they would have no chance in the team even after the world cup and they saw it that was why they were misbehaving.

As I've researched the authors around whom I've built this section of Randy's
Rodeo, I've usually been able to unearth a variety of facts and anecdotes, not just
about their books but about the authors themselves. Rock writers, more so than authors
in general, tend to be personalities unto themselves. Scribes like Nik
Cohn and Dave Marsh shaped the course of rock history
with their actions as well as their words, while Lester Bangs became
a legend larger than most of the musicians he wrote about - and certainly larger than his
own body of work. Regardless, most rock writers - even relative cold fish like Peter Guralnick
- inject themselves into the story, if only for the sake of perspective.
Not so with Gerri
Hirshey. While her style is as lively and impassioned as her subjects, she concentrates
on the music and leaves the spotlight to the stars. Beyond brief descriptions of her varied
and impressive résumé (which revolves around twenty years as a contributing
editor for Rolling Stone), I found not one whit of biographical data on the web
- let alone a picture. Perhaps Ms. Hirshey may one day stumble across my little website
and enlighten us, but for now we are left with her work - two concise, entertaining, authoritative
books that I strongly recommend.
In 2005, Gerri Hershey
wrote the liner notes to Rhino Records' acclaimed boxed set, One
Kiss Can Lead to Another: Girl Group Sounds Lost and Found.
to Run: The Story of Soul Music
by Gerri
Hirshey (1984)
True to her journalist's perspective, Gerri Hirshey tells the story of soul music largely by letting
the stars speak for themselves. Clearly, Hirshey relished her chance to commune with soul legends like
James Brown, Solomon Burke, and Wilson Pickett, and her great gift to us is that, she lets them speak
for themselves. Taking their endless anecdotes, poignant remembrances, and telling tall tales, Hirshey
weaves a riveting epic. Her method is deceptively haphazard; we appear to be jumping from place to
place, person to person in a manner barely chronological. In the end, however, Hirshey presents us
with a warm,
unified, in-depth portrayal of soul - the last great, truly American music. [top of page]
Gotta Get Out of This Place: The True, Tough Story of Women in Rock
by Gerri
Hirshey (2001)
Back about 1973, Time magazine published a cover story about "the women of rock." Featuring
such luminaries as Carole King and Joni Mitchell, it pointed out the (then) relative novelty of women
making significant, uniquely feminine contributions to rock music. Traditionally, rock 'n' roll girls
had distinguished themselves by proving they could rock as good as the boys (Wanda Jackson, Janis Joplin,
and, more recently, Joan Jett), or by catering to male stereotypes and fantasies (girl groups like
the Cookies or the Shangri-las, or sex bombs like Nancy Sinatra or Tina Turner). So, in 1973, the specter
of liberated women topping the charts and speaking their minds was news indeed. Since then, things
changed, and they have remained much the same: while rockers like P.J. Harvey cater to nobody's preconceptions,
Britney Spears and her ilk cater to everyone's. And, in 1997 both Rolling Stone and Spin published "women
of rock" issues (the former overseen by Hirshey). Women enter the new millennium, however, with
more power and freedom in music than ever before. In We
Gotta Get Out of This Place, Gerri
Hirshey traces their story all the way back to Bessie Smith, then all the forward to the present -
not stopping
till she reaches Bikini Kill and Lauren Hill. [top of page]

NOTE: Speed-X bugs are a favorite of mine, particularly the "T-bar" 500 and 501 models. From the best sources, here's a quick timeline of the Speed-X bugs:
BEFORE SPEED-X. The Speed-X style bug was first associated with Electro Manufacturing Co. of Fresno, Calif., which made two bugs that were the predecessors of the "T-Bar" Speed-X bug. The Electro Bug used the solenoid to control the output for dits, and the key had a box mounted on the base to house those parts. An Electro Bug Jr. model was also manufactured that was essentially the Electro Bug key without the relay and solenoid apparatus.
EARLY SPEED-X. In 1934, Steward Johnson bought the Speed-X name and moved the company from Fresno to San Francisco. Johnson changed the company name to the Speed-X Radio Manufacturing Co., located at 30 Ninth St. in San Francisco. Johnson built what are today called the "early Speed-X bugs" from 1934 until he sold the company to Les Logan in 1937. The early Speed-X bugs are characterized by no nameplate; they also used the traditional thumbpiece and finger knob. Early Speed-X keys also universally used the same sort of damper — a wheel held in a slotted post. Other early Speed-X characteristics include the unusual thumbpiece (paddle) that was asymmetrical and the unusual "reverse" pivot frame bug.
LES LOGAN SPEED-X. Les Logan built Speed-X keys from 1937 until he sold the company in 1947 to the E.F. Johnson Co. The Logan-era Speed-X bugs are plentiful on the used market. Logan added nameplates to his line of keys; some earlier ones also include serial numbers, though the majority do not. The keys are also universally feature double paddles and have no finger knob. The paddles also have two rings inscribed on them, referred to by collectors as the "bulls eye" paddles. Logan paddles have a low-gloss finish, and the paddles have a very fiber-like feel to them. They do not shatter like plastic, but will "mush over" when broken. The cast parts of the key — notably the pivot frame on both the T-bar models and the regular models — tend to be very fragile and will break easily if dropped. It isn't uncommon to see a Speed-X T-bar bug listed on eBay with one or both parts of the "T" broken and missing. I have had a couple of instances where the "Vibroplex style" pivot frame on a model 515 was broken in shipment or broke once it arrived; these pivot frame often crack near the top pivot adjustment. The feet on the Logan-era bugs were on pins that were pressed into the base.
E.F. JOHNSON ERA. In 1947, Logan sold Speed-X to the E.F. Johnson Co., and it continued production of the Speed-X keys, both the bugs and the straight keys. Johnson simply altered the Speed-X nameplate to add its company name and continued to churn out the moderately priced keys. At some point, Johnson changed the pivot frame on the 501 key, removing the "T-bar" and making it an "ear-less" design. The new pivot frame also was the mounting point for the updated E.J. Johnson nameplate, which arrived in the 1960s and was used on the bugs and in advertising. Johnson made changes to the finger paddles, making them molded plastic instead of flat bakelite (while keeping them adjustable), and the company also changed the damper weights; Johnson made the weights larger in diameter and flatter, while employing a unique clip design that allowed users to adjust the weights without tightening or loosening any screws. The dampers on the Johnson-era Speed-X bugs stayed the same. The bugs were available in two finishes, chrome base and a painted, black crackle base.
WILLIAM NYE, THE MORSE KEY GUY. In 19721, E.F. Johnson sold its line of CW keys to the William Nye Co., which spelled the end of the Speed-X bug, but not the Speed-X straight keys. Nye continues to manufacture Speed-X straight keys from his factory in Priest River, Idaho. The company previously had been located in Bellevue, Wash.
Gathered from the Internet:
The company was founded in 1972 by William Nye in Bellevue, Washington who retired in 1986. Bill Nye, Jr. (WB7TNN) and his wife Sally operate the company, and they employ a part time key assembler and an electronics technician.
William Nye was born in North Dakota in 1912 and moved to the Seattle area in 1924. He has been an amateur radio operator (W7DZ) since age 12. He owned a business machine company until he sold it and retired in 1971. He established the William M. Nye Company as a retirement business.
The Nye company bought the SPEED-X trademark from the E.F. Johnson Company in the fall of 1972. The Nye company bought tooling to manufacture keys, low pass filters, matchboxes, and sounders. Bill Jr. does not believe that they bought the tooling to manufacture bugs.
Nye's present line of keys are manufactured on site, though casting, painting, and some machine functions are contracted out. Small parts are manufactured on site using a variety of stamping and drilling machines. Many of these machines have been modified by Bill Jr. to power them with air or hydraulic pressure. He is an inveterate tinkerer, and does most of the manufacture of small parts himself. Screws are bought from vendors, and key assembly is done by a part time employee.
Nye is using the same key casting molds that were used by the Les Logan and E.F. Johnson Companies. These molds were re-worked in 1972 by a machine shop. This involved polishing, milling, and filling them. These molds were acquired from the Johnson company, and it is doubtful that new ones have been made since the 1930's. Their key bases are cast in Zinc by a sub-contractor in the Seattle area. Zinc is used because of ease of casting, low cost, and solid weight. (Information gathered from the N7CFO KEYLETTER'S, Story by Lynn A. Burlingame N7CFO)
Nye's Speed-X keys straight keys continue to be manufactured and sold.

A benefit cheat filmed enjoying an action packed holiday in the South of France while claiming she could barely walk, has been given extra time to pay the money back.
In 2011 Tina Attanasio was jailed for 10 weeks after admitting failing to tell the authorities her health had improved so much that she was able to feature in a home video speeding down a water slide into a pool at a French resort.
She was also ordered to sell the former family home and given six months to hand over her £16,000 equity in the property.
But the 51-year-old mum was back before Cardiff Crown Court because no money had been received.
Her lawyer Edward Mitchard said the house, which is occupied by other family members while she lives elswhere on the Hollybush Estate in Whitchurch, had failed to sell although she was as anxious as anyone to get things moving.
He successfully applied to Judge Patrick Curran QC for a further six months under Proceeds of Crime (POCA) legislation, saying: "All her assets are tied up in a house where she herself has not actually lived for four years.
"There has already been a prison sentence imposed on her and she wants this to be brought to an end. She wants to be able to move on."
Her original court hearing in 2011 heard how her former partner "shopped" her to the authorities after they split up, and provided them with the holiday pictures.
In them she is seen climbing steep cobbled streets, walking down steps and strolling on a beach as well as enjoying herself, laughing with her arms held up the air, as she slides down into the pool.
At the time, said prosecutor Nicholas Gedge, she had claimed she needed help getting in and out of bed, going to the toilet and bathing, and had been granted the top rate disability allowance.
In mitigation it was said France's warm sun had eased the pain in her back.
Attanasio's barrister Jennet Treharne said she had "good days and bad days" and the holiday climate had helped.
The granting of the POCA extension now gives the fraudster, who illegally received almost £20,000 of taxpayers' money, until March 2013 to replenish the public purse.

At Least 40 Iraqis Dead In Attack On Sunni Mosque
Iraqi officials say at least 40 people have been killed in an attack on a Sunni mosque in northeastern Iraq.
A police officer said that gunmen broke into the mosque and opened fire in Imam Wais village, near Baquba in Diyala Province, some 120 kilometers northeast of Baghdad.
News agencies quote some sources as blaming Shi'ite militiamen for the attack, while others pointed to Islamic State militants.
The attack comes as sectarian tensions soar in Iraq in the wake of sweeping territorial gains by the Sunni extremist group Islamic State in recent weeks.

The lowest-rated junk bonds are the most expensive corporate debt following a Federal Reserve- induced rally in high-risk assets, adding to concern fixed- income securities are overvalued.
The extra yield investors demand to hold global bonds rated CCC or lower instead of government debt is about 10.1 percentage points, or 3.4 percentage points narrower than the average over the past 12 years, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data. Debt with B ratings is the only other part of the market trading tighter than its historical average.
Record-low interest rates in the U.S. and Europe, and speculation the Fed will purchase more bonds to keep the economy from faltering, are encouraging debt investors to take on riskier securities and stoking concern prices are rising to unsustainable levels. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. advised its clients to avoid adding CCC rated debt in a report published Oct. 22 because of slower economic growth.
"With CCCs even more richly valued than historically, the risk of poor relative returns in the future would appear to be high," said Martin Fridson, a global credit strategist in New York at BNP Paribas Asset Management, who began his career as a corporate debt trader in 1976. "You have to be conscious of that risk of underperformance. Having relatively rich valuations puts investors at a handicap."
Issuance Surge
The rally in the lowest-rated company bonds has sparked a surge in issuance. MGM Resorts International, the biggest casino operator on the Las Vegas Strip, Energy Future Holdings Corp. and other companies have sold $6.5 billion of bonds this month rated CCC+ or lower by Standard & Poor's or Caa1 or lower by Moody's Investors Service, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
That's the most since April for debt S&P deems "currently vulnerable to nonpayment" and "is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment."
Elsewhere in credit markets, the extra yield investors demand to own company bonds instead of similar maturity government debt fell 1 basis point to 166 basis points, or 1.66 percentage point, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch's Global Broad Market Corporate Index. That's a decline of 7 basis points this month. Yields averaged 3.43 percent from 3.45 percent on Oct. 22.
Morgan Stanley, the sixth-largest U.S. bank by assets, plans a benchmark sale of notes, according to a person familiar with the offering. Benchmark issues are typically at least $500 million.
The five-year debt, set to be sold as soon as today, may yield about 230 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries, said the person, who declined to be identified because terms aren't set.
50-Year Debt
Goldman Sachs plans to sell $1.3 billion of 50-year debt at a 6.125 percent yield as soon as today, according to a person familiar with the transaction. The offering may include bonds with a face value of $25 that can't be called for five years, the person said.
The cost of protecting bonds from default in the U.S. held near the lowest level since May. The Markit CDX North America Investment Grade Index, which investors use to hedge against losses on corporate debt or to speculate on creditworthiness, increased 0.1 basis point to a mid-price of 93.5 basis points as of 12:21 p.m. in New York, according to index administrator Markit Group Ltd.
The index, which typically rises as investor confidence deteriorates and falls as it improves, ended May 3 at 90.5 basis points.
Bondholder Protection
Credit swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. A basis point, 0.01 percentage point, equals $1,000 annually on a contract protecting $10 million of debt.
Goldman Sachs said bonds rated CCC+ and lower by S&P or Caa1 by Moody's were "expensive" given expectations for economic growth, and recommended clients buy higher-ranked company bonds instead. John Lipsky, the No. 2 official at the International Monetary Fund, said last month that global economic growth in the second half of the year will fall short of the fund's forecast of 3.75 percent on an annualized basis.
"You don't want to stand in the way of the search for yield," said Alberto Gallo, a global credit strategist at Goldman Sachs in New York. "But on the other hand it is a very volatile part of the market. And it can be particularly sensitive to a further slowdown in the economy."
Record Low
Yields on U.S. investment-grade debt fell to a record low of 3.55 percent this month, the lowest borrowing cost on record in data going back to October 1986, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data. For CCC bonds and lower, yields dropped to 11.63 percent yesterday, the lowest level since November 2007, the data show.
Average spreads on the lowest-rated debt have narrowed from as high as 1,183 basis points in June and a record 4,560 basis points in December 2008, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data. Debt in the B range pays a spread of 602 basis points, or 31 basis points less than their average over the past 12 years. Investment-grade securities pay a premium of 8 basis points to 30 basis points over their longer-term averages.
Investors are paying ever-higher prices on speculation the money the Fed injects into the economy will allow the neediest borrowers to refinance the more than $815 billion of loans and bonds that Bank of America Merrill Lynch estimates comes due through 2015.
JPMorgan analysts predicted in a report this month that the high-yield default rate for bonds will fall to 1.4 percent next year, compared with the 6 percent implied by bond yields.
MGM Sale
Of the junk-rated bonds sold in the U.S. this year, 16.2 percent are from issuers rated CCC by at least one ratings firm, up from 10.7 percent in 2009, according to JPMorgan. That's still below the 25 percent average over the five years ended in 2008, the firm said in an Oct. 22 report.
MGM sold $500 million of six-year notes at a yield of 10.25 percent to repay lenders under its senior credit facility, Bloomberg data show. Covenant Review LLC, a debt research firm, said in a report that Las Vegas-based MGM is offering investment-grade type covenants even though the bonds will be junk-rated, including no restrictions on the company's ability to incur debt, make dividends, or sell assets.
The offering, along with the sale of stock and certain assets, should address all of MGM's bank debt maturities in 2011, according to KDP Investment Advisors Inc., a Montpelier, Vermont-based debt research firm.
Dallas-based Energy Future, known as TXU Corp. before KKR & Co. and TPG Capital paid $43.2 billion for the electricity provider in 2007, raised $350 million on Oct. 15 in an offering of second-lien notes due in April 2021 yielding 15 percent.
Securities rated CCC and lower have returned 16.8 percent this year, after gaining 101 percent in 2009. This year's returns compare with 15.5 percent for debt ranked BB and 12.9 percent for B bonds. Debt rated BBB has gained 11.6 percent, the best among investment-grade bonds.
"We're in a scenario where there is a desperate need for yield," said Gary Jenkins, head of fixed-income at Evolution Securities Ltd. in London. "Corporates are almost seen as a quasi-safe haven. It won't be the case if the economy turns negative, double dip-like."
The lowest-rated bonds are "quite rich" by historical standards partly because hedge funds that rely on debt to boost returns have become bigger players in the market and don't care as much whether the spread compensates for default risk, according to Fridson.
"I had thought the downturn would either blow away some of the leveraged players or at least induce them to tighten up their risk management," he said. "That has not happened."
Lack of Alternatives
Money managers are piling into the riskiest junk bonds and taking ever-lower yields and spreads because they face a lack of alternatives. Investments on everything from government debt to corporate bonds are paying some of the lowest coupons on record as the Fed holds its target overnight lending rate between banks in a range of zero percent to 0.25 percent since December 2008. The European Central Bank's main refinancing rate has been at a record-low 1 percent since May 2009.
The Treasury sold $10 billion of five-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities at a negative yield for the first time at a U.S. debt auction as investors bet the Fed will be successful in sparking inflation.
The securities drew a yield of negative 0.55 percent, the same as the average forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of 7 of the Fed's 18 primary dealers. The sale was a reopening of an $11 billion offering in April.
"The low government yield environment is squeezing investors into riskier assets, which I suppose is partly what the Fed wants," Jim Reid, head of fundamental strategy at Deutsche Bank in London, said in an Oct. 25 note to clients. "It remains a gamble though, as if it doesn't feed into the economy it will eventually leave a bigger gap between asset prices and the fundamentals."

white noise
That is the question that the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism sought to answer with a study that tracked the top stories in traditional media, the blogosphere, YouTube and Twitter. They found that each platform rarely agrees on the big story of the day. During the examined time the top story was shared by all three social media platforms (blogs, YouTube and Twitter) only once, in the aftermath of the protested Iranian elections June 15-19 of last year. The ADD-addled news cycle is especially evident on the most ADD platform, Twitter, where 50 percent of top stories hold that distinction for 24 hours or less. Though social media platforms often focus on stories ignored by the traditional media outlets, blogs still depend on mainstream media for the genesis of 99 percent of their stories; 80 percent of all links in blog posts came from the BBC, CNN, The New York Times, and the Washington Post. Forty-six percent of top stories on YouTube dealt with politics and government or foreign events – especially those with strong visual appeal, like Pope Benedict getting knocked over during Christmas Eve Mass. Meanwhile the only platform where technology encompasses a significant portion of the top stories is Twitter, where tech stories accounted for 43 percent.

Cal's Brendan Bigelow to enter NFL draft
Updated 11:18 pm, Wednesday, January 15, 2014
Cal running back Brendan Bigelow has decided to forgo his senior season and enter the NFL draft.
Cal's athletic department announced Bigelow's decision Wednesday, the final day for juniors to declare for the draft. He ran for 421 yards and two touchdowns on 105 attempts last season.
Bigelow's most notable game came in 2012 when he had 160 yards rushing, including two touchdowns, in a loss at Ohio State.
Bigelow is the fifth player to leave Cal early this offseason. Defensive back Kameron Jackson, tight end Richard Rodgers, linebacker Khairi Fortt and defensive tackle Viliami Moala already declared for the draft.
-- The University of Washington and former assistant football coach Tosh Lupoi have reached agreement on a mutual separation that will pay him $300,000.
Lupoi, who played at Cal and was an assistant coach for the Bears, was the defensive line coach under previous head coach Steve Sarkisian. Washington is looking into allegations of recruiting violations against Lupoi. The school said late last month that Lupoi was being reassigned within the athletic department.
-- Iowa State defensive line coach Curtis Bray, 43, died, reportedly while working out.
Criticism over gay U.S. athletes
A senior Italian IOC member criticized the U.S. for including openly gay athletes in its official delegation for next month's Sochi Olympics.
"It's absurd that a country like that sends four lesbians to Russia just to demonstrate that in their country gay rights have" been established, Mario Pescante said at an Italian Olympic Committee meeting in Milan. "The Games should not be an occasion and a stage to promote rights that sports supports daily."
Skiing: Lindsey Vonn announced on her Facebook page that she had successful surgery on her right knee.
