text: $100 Ideas: Extra Hand with Hay Bales October 1, 2012 05:48 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Farm Journal Editors Email Stacking hay bales is a stop-and-go process, further held up when the bale gets stuck on the loader forks. In less than five hours, Lester Langeland and son Marlin of Marne, Mich., attached a hydraulic cylinder to their loader attachment to give the bales a push. Along with son Merle, they grow corn, soybeans, alfalfa and wheat, milk 500 cows and raise poultry. When using a fork loader to stack large square bales, it's common for the bales to get stuck on the forks when reaching for the top of the stack. With safety and speed in mind, we added a hydraulic pusher to our fork loader to give the bale that extra help off the forks. We mounted a hydraulic cylinder from an old manure wagon on the fork assembly with a flat round attachment on the end. The cylinder is connected to the tractor's hydraulics with a set of quick couplers, and a joystick in the cab operates the contraption. The idea works so well that we installed a second on the tractor that's used to load trucks in the field. Straight Back Backing the semi and grain trailer into the shed is easier since installing two 45-watt lightbulbs on the back wall of the shed. The lights are mounted so they are visible on either side of the trailer. It's always dark in the back of the shed, and when it's sunny out the glare on the mirrors makes it hard to see the back wall. Now, the lights help guide the driver until the trailer is back far enough. Steve Richarz Canistota, S.D. Share your $100 idea! Safety Latch Once while hauling our backhoe, the window flew open and broke. After that, I decided we needed a way to temporarily secure the windows shut. I slipped a J-bolt through the window frame and attached a spring on one side. I put nuts on both sides of the spring so the tension can be adjusted depending if the window is open or closed.

Perhaps no chair is more synonymous with organic design than the Wing chair. First intended as an outstretched reception chair, the piece is expansive like the wings of its namesake. While organic living promotes the harmonious balance between human habitation and the natural world, achieving proper balance is a challenge. It is often left to the designers, those creative leaders of the generation, to guide the way. While the padded fiberglass shell is upholstered in a layer of fabric, the admiration for this piece comes from a much deeper source. First developed in the mid-20th century, the Wing chair is a testament to the potential inherent in human endeavor. While the chair rests firmly on a sturdy polished aluminum frame, it's the abandonment from the particulars of engineering and industry that make it so endearing.

Just a short status update about the new name: I already have a new favorite but I'd like to wait a little, maybe there's a better one.
Currently I'm working on the following things:
Each land has a capital city and is inhabited by NPCs. They have quests, sell items or just talk about random stuff. :) Each city has a center place where all shops and other useful buildings are located.
In contrast to before, buildings are now randomly generated: they now have varying rooms, sizes, walls, roofs etc. Furthermore, I'm working on multiple themes. Here are the ones that I have finished so far:
European style framework houses:
Medieval stone houses:
North American style wood houses:
Log houses:
Next I want to add themes for deserts and jungles.

Overdue Odds and Ends
1. The Jazz will be unveiling the new uniforms tomorrow at a free event outside the arena. Al Jefferson, CJ and Millsap will be modeling the new Jazz gear for fans.
If this were two months ago, I would've loved to see the Koof and Fes doing the modeling. If fans had been able to vote, I think I would've voted for Fes first, and Memo second (Memo has "European male model" written all over him, don't you think?).
2. One of the reasons I love Ronnie Price is his honesty ("I hate the Lakers.")
KALL: What did you think of "The Decision"?
Ronnie P: Oh man…I am so sick of hearing about that stuff man. It's been driving me so crazy.
Ronnie (who grew up a Rockets fan), also talked about "The Shot":
"I didn't really like the Jazz as a kid. I was always a big Rockets fan coming out of Texas, and when John Stockton hit that shot to knock the Rockets out of the Playoffs, that was a rough year for me as a kid." (KALL mp3)
3. One of the world's most foremost authorities on toughness speaks about…toughness:
"Toughness…you just know when someone has it," [Matt Harpring] said. "I don't think a player does anything, it's just over the game, when you're a fan and you're sitting there watching, you're like, 'Wow, that guy's a tough guy.' You know it when you see it. But when it's not there, it's a glaring hole." (sltrib)
He also likes the pick up of [his former teammate] Raja Bell:
"You need a guy in the locker room to maintain balance," Harpring said. "Jerry has seen it all, been through it all, and as a coach obviously he kind of stays straight and narrow, doesn't get too high, too low. You need a guy like that in the locker room, too."
Added Harpring: "That's where Raja is really going to help out, is the toughness he's going to bring and also the leadership he brings." (desnews)
4. Much ado was made a year or two ago about how Deron was here to stay because he had sold his house in Texas and made Utah his year-round home. While being interviewed on KFAN (mp3) a few days ago, Deron said that he no longer lives in Utah during the summer. Cue panic among that contingency of panic-prone fans. ;)
5. Per sltrib: When country singer Neil McCoy was casting the video for his single "Last of a Dying Breed," he thought of his good friend Karl Malone. McCoy thought that the lyrics of the song fit Karl's story, and Karl accepted his invitation to be in the video (McCoy was among Karl's friends and family that attended the Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony).
Some of the lyrics in "Last of a Dying Breed":
He was also a friend to everybody he ever met / Ray taught me the value of faith and family / The American flag, hard work, honesty and a good dog / I hope my daddy Ray wasn't the last of a dyin' breed
He's a cold beer drinker, a buck n' bear hunter / The best friend a dog ever had / A post hole digger, a man Skoal dipper / John Deere cap sportin' man
Last of a dying breed who tend the fields and mend the fences / Heaven knows, I'd hate to think that generation might be ending / But if he goes, he will go down in history / As the last, the last of a dying breed
Fits Jerry Sloan to a T too, doesn't it?

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a dual boot environment with Windows XP Professional. The new Grub2 bootloader is excellent and the setup went pretty smoothly(about 2 hours for both). I wish I could just use Ubuntu – no popup windows, viruses, or spyware – it just works!

A new poll by the University of North Florida showed that about 70 percent of those questioned still approve or strongly approve of Mayor Alvin Brown's performance. In a similar poll taken last year, 75 percent of those polled approved of the mayor's performance. In the same poll, 48 percent of those polled approve of the job the Jacksonville City Council is doing.
Those polled showed 40 percent were taking a wait-and-see attitude on newly hired Duval County Superintendent of Schools Nikolai Vitti. About 40 percent had no opinion of the new superintendent. A majority of residents, 58 percent, supported the city adding sexual orientation to its human rights ordinance.
The poll was taken between Feb. 4 and Feb. 12 and included 917 Duval County residents. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.23 percent.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Swedish drugmaker Orexo AB's drug to treat opioid addiction, the company said on Thursday, sending its shares up as much as 14.3 percent in Stockholm.
The tablet, Zubsolv, dissolves under the tongue. It combines the drugs buprenorphine and naloxone and will compete with similar products, Subutex and Suboxone, made by Britain's Reckitt-Benckiser Group Plc.
Orexo said its drug offers a benefit to patients over Suboxone because less is required to achieve the same effect. It also has a menthol flavor that it said patients in a study preferred.
Nearly three out of four prescription drug overdoses are caused by painkillers known as opioids that include such drugs as oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl, methadone and codeine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and since 2003 have caused more overdose deaths than cocaine and heroin combined.
In March, the FDA rejected a drug similar to Orexo's from Titan Pharmaceuticals Inc and asked for additional data proving it worked. Titan's drug, Probuphine, is a long-acting version of Suboxone that is implanted under the skin.
To date, the market for buprenorphine has been dominated by Reckitt, a consumer goods company whose products range from cleaning supplies to condoms. Suboxone and Subutex generated sales of roughly $1.3 billion in 2012.
Orexo said opioid dependence affects nearly 5 million people in the United States and that only 20 percent receive treatment. The company said it expects peak sales of the drug to be at least $500 million.
Suboxone and Subutex lost market exclusivity in 2009, and while generic competitors introduced cheap copies of Subutex, they were slow to develop alternatives to Suboxone. In the meantime, Reckitt persuaded many physicians to switch from Suboxone tablets to Suboxone Film, a newer, patent-protected wafer-like strip that patients dissolve under the tongue.
At the end of 2012, according to Reckitt, Suboxone Film had captured 64 percent of the market.
Earlier this year, the FDA approved generic versions of Suboxone tablets from Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC and Actavis Inc.
The agency also said, in April, that it would not approve any generic versions of the original form of OxyContin, which could be crushed and snorted for a quick high. OxyContin's maker, Purdue Pharma LP, stopped shipping its branded version of the drug in August. It now sells a reformulated version that is less easy to abuse.
Orexo said it expects to launch the drug in the United States around September. It said on Monday it had signed an investment and profit-sharing deal with contract sales organization Publicis Touchpoint Solutions.
Once Publicis has recovered its investment and an agreed upon return, the amount of which was undisclosed, Publicis would receive a single digit share of the profit until the contract ends in December 2016.
Orexo's shares were up 8 kronor, or 12.12 percent, at 74.00 on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Earlier they rose as high as 75.50.

EPA updates rule for pathogens in drinking water
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has updated the rule for pathogens in drinking water, including setting a limit for the bacteria E. coli to better protect public health.
The Revised Total Coliform Rule ensures that all of the approximately 155,000 public water systems in the United States, which provide drinking water to more than 310 million people, take steps to prevent exposure to pathogens like E. coli, which can cause a variety of illnesses with symptoms such as acute abdominal discomfort or, in more extreme cases, kidney failure or hepatitis.
Under the revised rule, public drinking water systems are required to notify the public if a test exceeds the maximum contaminant level for E. coli in drinking water. If E. coli or other indications of drinking water contamination are detected above a certain level, drinking water facilities must assess the system and fix potential sources and pathways of contamination.
High-risk drinking water systems with a history of non-compliance must perform more frequent monitoring. The revised rule provides incentives for small drinking water systems that consistently meet certain measures of water quality and system performance.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

Transcendence and Analytics: What If the End of Mankind as We Know It Were a Good Thing?
Note: this is a reprint of an article originally posted on Tech News World on April 21, 2014. The original article can be found here.By: Robert Enderie
Our decision making can be flawed due to Confirmation Bias, which makes us see only things that agree with a position we've already taken, and Argumentative Theory, which maintains that status goes with being seen as right. Note I said "being seen as right," not actually being right, which likely explains the unfortunate number of politicians in every party who seem to be idiots.
I saw the movie Transcendence last week, and it was an impressive telling of what might happen were we to achieve singularity. Given this is likely where AI research is taking us and that analytics is a major component to getting there, I not only recommend the movie as entertainment but also as a means to wrapping your head around what we must correct before we take that next big step. The problem resides in us.
Much of the world operates on lies. Governments, religions, employers, coworkers and relatives all lie at times, with impacts that range from trivial to catastrophic. In effect, there are two kinds of people: those that know they are lied to and those who haven't really figured it out yet.
Think of all the things your parents told you that weren't true. My stepmother told me pregnancy resulted from kissing, which kind of confused me about sex for a couple, fortunately early, years. When life begins, the cause of homosexuality, global warming, infidelity, politics, and whether someone will respect you in the morning all form the basis of massive arguments in which both the side that is wrong and the observer often have no idea who is right.
Heck, even the side that is right likely has doubts. I often wonder why we believe anyone. Since valid analytics could be a massive weapon for either the right or the wrong side, I wonder whether this fact- based tool actually will change hard-set opinions.
I'll close with my product of the week: something that could save you from being embarrassed by spreading a lie you thought was true.
Understanding Analytics
Analytics is a class of products that analyzes large data sets -- structured, unstructured or both. The last is still a bit rare. Analytics is a fact-based tool, designed to assist in decision making, that is both underutilized and misused today. I say "underutilized and misused," because few companies, including those that sell these tools, use them broadly, properly or well.
A perfect example of this is how the Republican Party lost the last election. It used analytics heavily and concluded Republican candidates would win by a landslide. So convinced of the win were Republicans that they entered the final days of the race overconfident and had their collective butts kicked.
Granted, they made a significant number of errors, but they clearly believed they would win -- and by a landslide -- until they didn't. This showcases the danger of bad analytics. It can result in more effectively promoting a lie that could, and did in this instance, ensure failure.
To conduct any analysis correctly, automated or not, you have to ensure three things: that the data set is unbiased; that the analysis tool works; and that the person interpreting the results can do so with accuracy. That means the analyst has to both have the skills and the willingness to accept results that contradict any pre-existing conclusion or wishful thinking.
If the sample is biased or the recipient of the data is unable to do the job properly, it renders even the most expensive analytics process less valuable than a coin flip. The coin flip has a 50 percent probability of being right, while a corrupted analysis process will virtually always result in an inaccurate answer. An inaccurate answer you believe to be accurate, as the Republicans painfully found out, is worse than no answer at all.
Accepting the Right Answer
Now this is the tricky part, and it came to me while reading a Salon article about a guy from the religious right arguing that being gay was a choice and the audience getting up and walking out during his presentation. The speaker was pissed, and audience members argued they weren't against free speech but they didn't have to listen to a guy with whom they didn't agree.
This is a highly polarized issue. Let's say we had a report done using valid research (unbiased) that proved either side wrong based on a significant weight of valid medical facts backed up by an analysis of the Bible, also fact-based. Now stop for a moment. I'm saying whichever side you were on, this evidence -- which was unimpeachable, using valid facts -- would prove you were wrong. Would you accept it? Based on past experience, I doubt most would. We would assume there was some bias or a trick and reject the conclusion.
Let's take life vs. choice on the abortion debate. If analytics could prove that the Bible didn't allow that a fetus at any age was human and instead actually supported abortion or if analytics could prove that women incurred massive psychological damage when having an abortion or that the fetus could experience and understand an unacceptable level of pain during the process. If analytics could then weigh those facts to conclude that one position or the other was invalid, would the losing side accept the results? I doubt it.
It is even more deadly in politics. For instance, analytics would have shown there were no WMDs in Iraq, but you may recall the administration in place at the time aggressively suppressed that information and manufactured false results because it wanted war. How many people died because of a lie?
Wired to Be Fools
There are two theories that really mess up our decision making. One is Confirmation Bias, which makes us see only things that agree with a position we've already taken, and the other is Argumentative Theory, which maintains that status goes with being seen as right.
Note I said "being seen as right," not actually being right, which likely explains the unfortunate number of politicians in every party who seem to be idiots.
Analytics Could Save the World
This is one area in which analytics absolutely could help us. If we were to rank politicians based on their capabilities, we could fix government -- and given the satisfaction rating for the U.S. government, I'm thinking it wouldn't be that hard to convince most people that their elected representative was an idiot.
The difficulty would be setting up a service that wasn't biased by some special interest group or corrupted by one or both parties -- but wouldn't it be wonderful if we could?
We often pick based on party affiliation and how appealing a politician is. Wouldn't it be far better to pick candidates based on competence and whether they actually agreed with positions we felt strongly about? Analytics could give us those answers, but would we take them?
The movie Transcendence makes a compelling argument that we wouldn't, and it makes some rather subtle and painful points about whether we are our own worst enemies.
Wrapping Up
This is as much about how not to do stupid stuff ourselves as it is about analytics. We all, and I definitely include myself, get into arguments with people that are deep and heated without first ensuring our position is supported by actual facts rather than things we want to be true. Even companies do this.
For instance, Google is in a massive push to prove mobile devices are better than PCs, and it is winning -- but PCs make more revenue for Google than mobile devices, so it is on the wrong side of the argument.
Microsoft is fighting Google with search, a free product, and Bing has become a huge money hole. You'd think the company would come up with a service that was both better and more secure, but charged a nominal fee instead. Pulling a line from the movie A Few Good Men, the problem with analytics -- and eventually AI -- is that for critical things, we really can't handle the truth.
I'll leave you with the one big thought from the movie Transcendence: What if "the end of mankind as we know it" were a good thing?
Product of the Week: Snopes
Of all the websites I use, I find Snopes to be the most valuable. That is because, when I remember to use it, it showcases accurately whether something I don't want to believe is a lie -- and, more importantly, it showcases whether something I may want to believe is a lie.
We naturally want to believe that scandalous stories about the government -- or the people in it with whom we disagree -- are true, and we are far more likely to test arguments we don't agree with than stories we wish were true, because we want to be right. Once our mistake is uncovered, though, we lose credibility -- and if we make this mistake, we can become a bad joke.
If we are willing to consider that what we were told might be false -- and often we aren't -- the Web is an excellent place to go to find out, and because Snopes is an invaluable resource on the Web, it is my product of the week.
By the way, as it is also a good place to read about the top scams going around, it could keep you from accidentally sending your life savings to the new version of that poor Nigerian prince. Apparently that was still the top scam last week. I know several people who have fallen for one of those scams...

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 40 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
The Tony Brower Innovation Exposition (TBIE) is an international competition and aims to bring together the brightest minds of diverse business schools of the world. The teams will play the role of consultants to create business strategies & solve problems for real businesses.
Tony Brower Innovation Exposition
So, we need a logo for this.
A simple graphic that represents "Innovation in Business", whatever you think that might mean in a graphic sense.
Color scheme is up in the air, let's see what you come up with. But being that this is for the conservative business world it can't be wild and crazy.
Graphic can be separate from any branding, as in a stand alone image that does not need or include the name of the competition. But maybe could use the acronym, TBIE.
- Files in as many formats as you can save 'em. That's PSD, AI, EPS, JPG, PNG.
- 300 dpi resolution so we can use it for print materials

In searching for the right insurance, a business owner may contact any number of companies, either in person, over the phone, or online. Or, they can contact a commercial insurance broker. Commercial insurance brokers not only find the policy that best fits the particular business and its risks, but they will also find the best priced policy. Brokers, unlike agents, do not have a contract with the insurance company to sell that company's insurance. Instead, they work for the client, or business owner.Learn more at Commercial Umbrella.
One of the quickest and easiest ways to find the best commercial coverage is over the internet. Commercial insurance companies have created some of the most all-encompassing websites on the entire web. When it comes to the amount of information and the ease with which potential customers can resource that information, it is truly amazing. By visiting the websites of some of the larger companies, even if they don't purchase their policy from them, business owners can get a more comprehensive view of the types of commercial coverage that is available for their particular business. By checking on several different websites, anyone who is seeking commercial insurance quotes will find that they can swiftly and readily locate the best and most competitively priced commercial insurance quote. They should always keep in mind that cheap commercial insurance is not always the best insurance, but using the web certainly makes it easier to find.
There are many kinds of commercial coverage available to many different kinds of businesses. Insurance for commercial operations is separated into two categories: property and casualty. Property insurance will cover possessions that are stolen, damaged, or destroyed by any covered cause listed in the policy. Casualty insurance covers the business' liability if it is responsible for property damage or bodily injury to a third party as a result of negligence or omission.
Most businesses will not need every kind of coverage that is out there. Perhaps one business has several cars, vans, or trucks that are used each day in its operation. In that case, they would need car commercial insurance. On the other hand, a business might be conducted out of the home and all the work is done on a computer and sent out by way of the internet. A vehicle is not used at all for this business so the car coverage is unnecessary as far as the business is concerned. Even though not all coverage is needed, it is a good idea for the business owner to learn about the different types of coverage that are at hand. In this way, it is possible for them to make wise choices as to what coverage is needed. Also, the business owner can make any changes in coverage that may become necessary as his business flourishes.

3/4 - German 3/4 violin bow, approx. 1950
This 3/4-sized violin bow offers good opportunities to learn proper bowing techniques due to its light weight and ideal weight distribution - and great joy in daily practising. The 3/4 violin bow was crafted in an unknown workshop in the traditional violin making town of Markneukirchen in Saxony. It is an excellent example of good craftsmanship, that is rarely found at small-sized bows for stringed instruments. The elastic, round stick was made of fine, red-brown colored pernambuco wood; the head is a remarkably detailed and tasteful work. The bow is a soft plaer and procuces a warm, bright, mellow tone.The blank ebony frog is nickel mounted and decorated with a one adjuster. The balance-point of the bow is sensed well-centered. The expert luthiers in our atelier completely worked over this bow that is now offered ready to play. This bow complements well sharp and clear, brilliant sounding violins and does not accept too much pressure at play.

Hello, I attend a large state school (Metro State College in Denver). I also got started at a community college for my AA. Metro is on the same campus as CU Denver and I am sure I could get into CU if I wanted to transfer, but it would require some back tracking because of some different requirements for my major. Is the school I will be graduating from, being Metro State, going to look really terrible to Law School admittance committees? Would it be worth the extra 5 classes or so and extra money to get my degree from CU Denver? (I have had classes where students from each school attend, I am not sure the difficulty level would go up all that much).
Thank you all for the responses, I greatly appreciate it.

Over the weekend, I had a long dinner in Paris with a close friend from our days together as foreign correspondents in Moscow. Natalie Nougayrède had gone on to become the first woman editor-in-chief and director of Le Monde, a post to which she was elected, in the paper's tradition, little more than a year ago with a record 80 percent-plus support from the staff. She had embarked on an ambitious transformation plan to unite the newsroom's separate print and digital teams—something newspapers in the Anglophone world had done years ago. Now, the predictable trouble had materialized, and she was facing an insurrection from threatened top editors.
Just after I returned home to Washington, she quit, protesting a plan to reduce some of the top editor's powers and writing in her resignation letter that she no longer had the "peace and serenity" required to do the tough job of running a daily newspaper. In the news coverage about her exit, reporters barely mentioned her decisive leadership in seeking to turn around an economically troubled newspaper and its hidebound ways (including paying employees for more than 13 weeks of annual vacation), instead quoting unnamed sources in the Le Monde newsroom complaining that she was "very difficult to talk to."
Story Continued Below
Hours later, Jill Abramson of the New York Times was unceremoniously dumped as that paper's first woman executive editor, criticized by Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. for unspecified "management" shortcomings. I have long known and admired Abramson, who helped hire my husband at the Times, and had watched with dismay over the last year as any legitimate questions about her tenure were subordinated to tiresome, trite and utterly sexist debates over her "temperament" and whether it was the right one for a newsroom leader.
And sure enough this was exactly the fight that immediately erupted again on Wednesday among the commentariat about both women, a discussion that dwelled at great length on their personalities, their leadership skills and the extent to which their status as trailblazers in a male-dominated world was relevant. Even the defense—and there were many defenders—was being waged on this battlefield, the terrain of women's personal qualities and whether they truly belong in the public positions that remain a man's unquestioned privilege.
It was predictably awful, and I was not in the least bit surprised. Because this has happened to just about every woman I know who has dared to take up a highly visible leadership position in our great but troubled news organizations. Including me.
We like to pretend it's different now, that Hillary Clinton really did shatter that glass ceiling into thousands of pieces. But it's not true. There are shockingly few women at the top anywhere in America, and it's a deficit that is especially pronounced in journalism, where women leaders remain outliers, category-defying outliers who almost invariably still face a comeuppance.
Sheryl Sandberg may be a billionaire and a bestseller, but the Facebook COO's self-help book is not a recipe for success in this or any other field. At least not yet. All of these women in journalism, Abramson perhaps most of all, have leaned in. They paid close attention to those anxiety-producing cover stories in the Atlantic about having it all. They looked men in the eye and asked for promotions and raises (well, sorta, kinda, maybe—look what apparently happened when even someone as powerful as Abramson dared to complain upon learning that her pay was not equal to that of her male predecessor). They somehow overcame the stigma of being called " bossy" as girls, and most of them have balanced both challenging career experiences and raising children at home. They did not lack in confidence—or at least figured out how to project it, even when they weren't in fact entirely feeling it. In short, these women editors have done most of the things the professional women's empowerment class recommends.
But still, they were not really able to succeed. They—and I—remained stuck in a trap not of our own making. It's called editing while female.
I should start by saying this is an article I never wanted to write. I never wanted it to be about me. Or about being a woman. I considered myself so lucky and privileged to make a career in journalism even—especially!—at a time of enormous change. I was an optimist, even about the Internet, killer of tradition, and I believed that the bad old days of institutionalized discrimination were mostly behind us. As for the other stuff, the lingering evidence this was not entirely the case, I just avoided it. I didn't write about how isolated I felt as a young working mom surrounded by older men or how to run a meeting while having a miscarriage. I did not blog about the male editor who told me I shouldn't worry about having my own slot as a Washington Post foreign correspondent alongside my husband, since I couldn't possibly hope to be his peer as a journalist anyway. Even when I became a department head and discovered that I was paid less than all of the other senior editors at the Post, I said nothing, because after all, I was younger and I was a woman and I didn't want it to be about that. And besides, speaking up would mean being judged. And inevitably being found wanting.
So I said nothing and considered myself privileged—if more than occasionally terrified—when I was sent off to cover the war in Afghanistan, and heard the sound of gunfire for the first time while reporting on the battle of Tora Bora. I learned Russian and traveled to Iraq and slept on a hospital roof in Basra with a team of British snipers and co-wrote a book about Vladimir Putin. I edited Roll Call, a newspaper about Congress, in my 20s. I edited the Washington Post Outlook section and Foreign Policy magazine.

Citi's tobacco team is out with their massive 114-page "Annual Cigarette Synopsis" note on the state of the global tobacco industry.
For anyone wondering why cigarettes cost more or less in one state versus the other, the explanation is pretty simple: taxes.
And they may be going up. From the report:
Taxation - Possible Challenges Ahead. The major manufacturers expect a somewhat more challenging SET [state excise tax] environment in 2012, relative to the benign one seen in 2011. On a weighted-average basis, RAI [Reynolds American] expects the SET rate to increase $0.05 to $0.10 pp, or +3% to +7%, relative to the $1.36 pp SET average seen in 2011.
Indeed, year-to-date, we have seen legislation for excise tax increases proposed in 13 states (though several have already failed, notably in Florida, Mississippi and Virginia), and decreases proposed in two states. Of note, a ballot initiative in California would increase the SET by $1.00 pp (+115% from the current rate of $0.87 pp), which alone would increase the weighted-average SET rate by $0.07 pp (+5%). The vote on the initiative (Proposition 29) takes place on June 5, 2012.
Assuming no changes to the volume contributions by state, we estimate that the best-case scenario for 2012 to be a roughly 3% decline in the weighted- average SET rate, and an 18% increase in the worst-case scenario.

It was a game that could have easily slipped away from Latics after they fell behind seven minutes in to a Modibo Maiga goal but a brace from Mauro Boselli, a left footed drive from Ivan Ramis and a late Jordi Gomez penalty sent Roberto Martinez's men sailing through to the fourth round.
Boselli was like a man possessed up front as he held up nearly every ball played into him and his two goals with be a welcome confidence boost, especially the cute chip over Stephen Henderson to make it 3-1.
Martinez made seven changes from the 2-1 defeat to Fulham at the weekend, with Callum McManaman, Adrian Lopez and Ryo Miyaichi making their first starts of the season.
There was also a place on the bench for Slovakian Under 21 international Filip Orsula who made a cameo appearance for star performer Boselli.
A long trip down for the fans wasn't greeted with an ideal start when a short pass from Lopez wasn't controlled by James McArthur on the edge of the area and in came Maiga to steal the ball off him and lash it into the top corner with his left foot from range.
It was a game of two tactics and the direct approach from Sam Allardyce's West Ham threatened to undo Latics but, the impressive wide play and expansive passing from the away side was on show just six minutes later.
The wide play was what brought about the equaliser when Gary Caldwell played Maynor Figueroa in down the left wing.
The Honduran played an inviting ball in low along the floor and Boselli beat his man in the six-yard box to slide in and poke the ball home.
Latics got on top after that and despite a few speculative efforts from range, the first half was relatively comfortable with the defence standing firm to the balls over the top.
Just as the game looked to be trailing off to half time, Spanish defender Ramis blew West Ham away with his first ever goal for Wigan Athletic.
As Latics pinned the Hammers in at the Bobby Moore end, it was a case of right place at the right time when Ramis picked the ball up 20 yards out after not retreating to his usual defensive position.
The defender saw a gap and went for it with a well-placed and well-struck left footed drive into the bottom corner of the goal.
Surely it couldn't get any better before half time?
Three minutes later and it did, this time the excellence of Latics flowing tactics paid dividends and so did the goal scoring instinct of Boselli.
It was perfect timing from the Argentinian striker as he beat the offside trap to get on the end of David Jones low through ball beyond the back line.
Then it was a case of 'keeper against striker and mind against mind, there was only one winner and Boselli cutely lobbed Henderson to nestle the ball into the net for 3-1.
The second half was much of the same as long balls and corners were launched at Latics' defence but, a combination of Ramis, Caldwell, Lopez and the fists of Ali Al Habsi battered out each attempt from West Ham.
Latics were continually dangerous on the break with the pace of McManaman and Miyaichi and the hard running and tackling of McArthur in midfield.
The Scotsman turned provider for Latics' fourth goal with exactly that enthusiasm and effort he had shown all game.
McArthur broke from midfield with pace before playing a one-two with Miyaichi on the edge of the area.
As McArthur received the ball in the area his touch took him close to the 'keeper but with one swift turn away from goal Henderson was sold into going to ground and conceding a penalty.
There was a slight delay on the penalty as substitute Gomez waited on to take it with Gary O'Neil receiving treatment in Latics' half.
Three minutes later up stepped the Spanish midfielder and in went the fourth as he finished it off into the bottom left corner.
Latics still had some defending to do though with West Ham trying to grab a consolation goal but, once again Caldwell and co. stopped them at every attempt.
Fraser Fyvie and Orsula made late appearances also, on what was a fine evening for Wigan Athletic and one that will satisfy all involved at the club as Latics progress to the fourth round of the Capital One Cup
