Springfield College Springfield College--Buildings International Hall Resident Life Resident Halls Dormitories Tornados _____________________________________________________________________________________________ International Hall Records Page 4 Archives and Special Collections Babson Library, Springfield College, Springfield, Massachusetts BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE International Hall was the first new dormitory constructed after the tripod of dorms (Lakeside, Massasoit, Reed) were constructed during the 1950s. The target completion date for the dorm was September 15th, 1964 and the ground breaking ceremony was held a little over a year earlier on July 15th, 1963 at 10am. The eight-story high rise housed 307 students and cost $1,137,000 dollars. By the time of its completion 1200 out of Springfield's 1600 full-time students lived on campus. The eighth floor, which is now a large lounge, was originally a classroom. The dormitory was officially dedicated on in October 17, 1964 during homecoming weekend. On June 1, 2011, a category EF3 tornado hit the city of Springfield, Massachusetts and caused severe damage to Springfield College's campus. International Hall, which was hit dead on, sustained the greatest amount of damage. The tornado shattered every window, tore all the internal doors from their hinges, jostled the furniture and blew dozens of mattresses into the lake. The entire building was renovated and repaired within twelve weeks, in time for students to move in, a task which could have taken at least a year. The tornado tore up trees for a quarter mile along the shore of Massasoit Lake and today students on the eighth floor can see out over the lake and into the city. CHRONOLOGY 1963 July 15th, 1963: Groundbreaking ceremony held. 1964 September 15th, 1964: Target completion date. 1964 October 17th: dedication ceremony held. 2011 June 1st, EF3 Tornado hits building. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ International Hall Records Page 5 Archives and Special Collections Babson Library, Springfield College, Springfield, Massachusetts SCOPE AND CONTENT This collection documents the planning and construction of International Hall. The collection includes general information about the hall, floor plans, news articles, news releases (primarily on the dedication of the new residence hall), and photographs. The bulk of the collection is the photographs. Of particular interest are the planning materials. These are some of the original planning documents, inter-office memorandums and letters that discuss the decisions made regarding the construction (heating, materials used, electrical considerations, among many others) of the dormitory, including some from Springfield College's president, Glenn Olds. There is also a list of materials in the cornerstone and photographs of President Glenn Olds speaking at the dedication ceremony._____________________________________________________________________________________________ International Hall Records Page 6 Archives and Special Collections Babson Library, Springfield College, Springfield, Massachusetts Folder List BOX FOLDER CONTENTS DATE DIGITAL 1 1 General Information (empty at this point) N/A No Digital Files 1 2 Planning Materials 1962-1963 No Digital Files 1 3 Facilities and Campus Services Newsletter (regarding color changes) 1998-06-03 No Digital Files 1 4 Floor Plans/Blueprints (copies) Undated No Digital Files 1 5 News Articles & News Releases 1963?

While there has been a great deal of discussion (and a few lawsuits) concerning the legality of YouTube hosting infringing videos, one question where we haven't seen very much discussion is the legal liability for people who embed infringing YouTube videos on their sites. One of the great features of YouTube was that each video provided a line of HTML that would allow you to embed the video directly into your site -- exactly as we've done a few times. However, is that act -- of putting the HTML embed code on your site -- copyright infringement if the video is infringing? After all, the actual video is still hosted by YouTube. The person who uploaded it is someone entirely different. All you've done is put a single line of HTML on your page -- but it's not hard to see how some might see that as infringing. In fact, we may have an example of exactly that. Ronald Lewis let us know about a typical cease-and-desist letter he received from a lawyer because he had some blog posts that embedded YouTube videos of musician Michael McDonald. Lewis didn't upload the videos. He's not hosting the videos. He simply put a single line of HTML (provided by YouTube for this specific purpose) on his website, and it would then display the video. There are plenty of other questions raised by this as well, such as whether or not the videos really infringe, why a lawyer would want to stop someone from promoting the music of someone (since it's unlikely that anyone would stop buying music because they saw a video on YouTube). There's also the fact that Lewis claims he's been friends with McDonald for a decade to make the whole situation awkward. But, honestly, the much more interesting (and rarely discussed) question concerns the liability of those who embed infringing videos. My guess is that it won't be long before we start seeing a lot more threats and lawsuits over embedded videos from bloggers who have no idea they're putting themselves at risk simply for putting a line of code into a blog post.

If a blog infringes content but there's no one there to read it, does it cost a copyright holder anything? -

Benefacio, 3 Jul 2007 @ 4:22pm
The obvious answer is maybe.
It really depends on whether the html code is designed to rebroadcast or is just a navigation link. Infringement is more about intent than actual use and is not always easy to decide.
As usual the rights listed in the Constitution are only protected by the quality of the layers hired to defend those rights. -
Anonymous Coward, 3 Jul 2007 @ 4:22pmHow is it that these videos remain on YouTube even after they are identified as being infringing?
That said, even though that's not getting at the source of the problem, I am a firm believer in placing responsibility on individuals. If achieving that means scaring them to make sure they aren't posting links to content they shouldn't, so be it. I hate how our society constantly defers responsibility to another party: "simply put a single line of HTML"
Again, I don't think that doing this is necessarily the best way to go about it, but I'm not totally against it, either. -
Comicfan, 3 Jul 2007 @ 4:56pm
Another step
For one, the video quality is usually fairly crappy and the sound worse. Who is going to benefit from having the HTML on their site infringing wise? How is Youtube benefiting in a way of infringement? I don't see this as anything but another attempt to keep the "POWER" going. Don't tell me those crappy YouTube videos could really benefit anyone, that's bull. I could see if they were DVD quality, ya know? Burning to disk, etc...but come on! Where will it end? IF I blare music so everyone can hear it, am I sharing? Illegally? Only I have permission to use that CD so I guess so. That's probably the next step, we ALL have to listen to headphones else it's music sharing. That's next. -
Scruffydan, 3 Jul 2007 @ 5:02pmthis seems like an extension of the question is linking to infringement material a copyright violation. I don't think so (or google would in a lot of trouble), but copyright holders will probably disagree.
It makes no sence though becuase it would be much easier for a copyright holder to take down the infringing copy from youtube then the many blogs that may have embedded it. -

Bob Jones, 3 Jul 2007 @ 5:04pmIf they knew when they posted, which they most certainly did - you can't mistake a music video or TV show for a video of a guy falling over, they should be liable.
I saw a site earlier which had full episodes of a show on, they were embed from another site, with a disclaimer underneath "we don't host them on our servers" ... guilty! -
Kyros, 3 Jul 2007 @ 5:18pmNot guilty. You can't kill the person who hosts your video and every person who looks at it. There needs to be a limit.
Eric Goldman (profile), 3 Jul 2007 @ 5:20pm
There is precedent on this
In Perfect 10 v. Amazon, the court rejected linking as a public display when the displayed files were on remote servers. But there's also the earlier LiveNation cases from last Winter, where a link that caused streaming was deemed a public performance. So this may remain an open legal question. Eric. -

LN, 3 Jul 2007 @ 7:18pm
I wonder if the analogy can be stretched to library catalogues. "Here's where to find this certain thing, which we may or may not own the rights too." If that's a stretch too far, then I wonder what the difference is between search engines finding the content, as opposed to blogs pointing you to them...
It would seem that the persistent practise of aiming for the people that highlight that the content is available, rather than asking the source to remove it is a waste of everyone's time... Except the lawyers, of course :) -
Bruce R. Nevins, 3 Jul 2007 @ 11:01pm
Just got hit for an infinging link
We do web hosting for small local businesses. Today our ISP sent us a notice that a representative for Lions Gate Films found an infringing link to "Sicko". It was on one of our customer web sites. By going to the ISP they can make them kill our connection by claiming we are in violation of the terms of use. Who needs a court case, when they can have all the sites killed for an "infraction". We don't have the time or resources to get into this so we pulled down the page immediately.
The text of the notice is as follows.
BayTSP, Inc. ("BayTSP") swears under penalty of perjury that Lionsgate Films has authorized BayTSP to act as its non-exclusive agent for copyright infringement notification. BayTSP's search of the protocol listed below has detected infringements of Lionsgate Films copyright interests on your IP addresses as detailed in the attached report.
BayTSP has reasonable good faith belief that Lionsgate Films, its agents, or the law does not authorize use of the material in the manner complained of in the attached report. The information provided herein is accurate to the best of our knowledge. Therefore, this letter is an official notification to effect removal of the detected infringement listed in the attached report. The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, the Universal Copyright Convention, as well as bilateral treaties with other countries allow for protection of client's copyrighted work even beyond U.S. borders. The attached documentation specifies the exact location of the infringement.
We hereby request that you immediately remove or block access to the infringing material, as specified in the copyright laws, and insure the user refrains from using or sharing with others Lionsgate Films materials in the future.
Further, we believe that the entire Internet community benefits when these matters are resolved cooperatively. We urge you to take immediate action to stop this infringing activity We appreciate your efforts toward this common goal. -

copyright infringement
Of course, it is a copyright violation. It is also very poor publishing. If you published an article with an un-cited quote from a source that also did not cite the quote, you are repeating useless, inaccurate, irresponsible information from an equally uneducated source. We should share and ponder original knowledge, ideas, thoughts, and art. Re-circulating stale, unoriginal, hackneyed words, images, and art just carries us- as creative, thinking beings- further into rumors, innuendo, and irrelevance. The plagiarism is not only unethical, and illegal, it is morally hurtful; plagiarism is intellectual bankruptcy. -

Re: copyright infringement
What do you think the press is!? They take information relayed to them from a source and deliver it to the public every day. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that information could be misrepresented or exaggerated (which it usually is). The whole idea of maintaining an ethical and moral system went out the window decades ago with the press & media's behavior. I'm not saying I agree with it but if you're going to raise a stink on this front it seems a little odd other fronts are allowed. Many words in the english language leave much room for further interpretation. In my personal opinion this is the governments fault for not properly educating or further elaborating on certain subjects they warn about. The cost of incarceration or enforcement in comparison to simply educating the public is a no brainer but yet still this system remains. And they cry about a massive deficit & yet don't stop to consider where much of the hidden cost comes from. It would be a lot cheaper & easier to simply deploy programs which proactively firewalled traffic both in & out that violated these rules instead of crying about the result. My God it's like leaving a fork on the ground near an outlet then complaining about how the child was able to get hurt. "Do not tell me it can't be done!" ~Franklin D. Roosevelt -
Joe, 4 Jul 2007 @ 8:27amOne problem is all blogs think they are "meaningful publications" yet they do not have the training or knowledge about how to ethically and properly run say a newspaper.
People sure get into a fuss about sites that host rapidshare link; yet rapidshare hosts all the files.
Corporations are too aggressive in their greed for every single penny and continue to push people away from actually wanting to legally give them money. It's not the artist you want to protect; it's your big company. People don't like big companies being in the news every day acting like a spoiled kid to get every single thing in the room. Do those assholes that make the decisions have any artistic talent? NO.. so go f yourself you are worthless to me; the artist can have money for being creative; you can go f off. Oh you have the artist on contract? For what? So you can make money off other people because you have no desirable talents of your own?
If companies wanted to b e publics favorite; they would embrace technology; embrace the speed of the internet; and change their business models instead of desperately holding on to their clueless thought process that who knows where they get it from. Companies need the 25-35 generation to save their companies and get rid of the 60 year old geezers that completely ruin the internet creditability with heavy users. -

strangeraatRandom, 4 Jul 2007 @ 3:36pmFor those of you who think it should be legal to embed video, need to step out of the simple box, and look at the big picture, If you put a video of your 16 year old sister sitting on a boat, it should not be ok for me to post that same video on my "video's of people who think incest should be legal site.....
I would not want the video of my children to be shown on some adult porn site, as I would not be able to regulate what content is appearing next to my video, or the adds that my video is promoting.. SO Of course it should be against the law,, The real question should be is Where is the law? -
CyberNorris, 4 Jul 2007 @ 7:36pm
Of course
You are certainly guilty of unauthorized use for publishing any copyrighted content, even if it is done by sourcing the material from another web host.
You are trying to argue that you are not guilty of possession of stolen property because you didn't steal the TV... you merely purchased it off the back of the pickup truck in the grocery store parking lot. -

Re: Re: Not quite CyberNorris.
I'd also like to point out users on youtube have absolutely no way of knowing if the author is in fact licensed to reproduce the material & for this reason alone viewers can't be held accountable. In my personal opinion you shouldn't assume the user is licensed considering the stiff penalties but I don't see a threat to viewers or folks who embed. This is also why google allowed the embed feature because their legal department agrees & they did so knowing they wouldn't be able to get to every single violation right away. It's a no brainer and won't make it past a preliminary hearing for obvious reasons because that defense argument. In my personal opinion you still shouldn't assume that so I wouldn't do it. There is always a chance you could get a strict judge or jury who is opposed to the idea. I consulted our law firm & they agree. -
Anonymous Coward, 5 Jul 2007 @ 3:57amSomething that I don't see people bringing into question is whether the person putting the html code in their page is *aware* that its an infringing video. i'm curious if the eula for YouTube mentions anything about the user taking liability when they post an embedded video somewhere or if it still falls on YouTube somehow for giving you infringing video access.
Honestly, I think it shouldn't make a difference. It makes more sense to send a cease & desist to the origin as opposed to all the copies. One letter stops *all* the people linking to it. Plus infringement requires knowing and willing intent to infringe. it's *way* too easy to say you thought it was fine because it was on youtube and then use the argument, "why didn't they just send a dmca request to youtube?"
They might send letters to those random people though because maybe its not infringing and they just assume that YouTube or the like would see through it and ignore it whereas individuals may be more likely to crack immediately and without a fight. -

Why Post to YouTube?
Isn't part of the draw of posting a video to YouTube that it will be seen and shared by lots of people. I don't get it. If videomasters and YouTube don't want that information shared, they should not invite people to embed it into their sites. Does a link qualify as copyright infrigement? -
JiGGZ, 12 Jul 2007 @ 1:57pm

utubekr8zy, 21 Jan 2008 @ 7:36am
it depends on the artist
i think the bottom line is the artist.
i am an artist too, i want my works to be see and heard, but i don't want it to be pirated .
to my knowledge, i think most youtubers are faithful fans and they want others to see how great eg. jeff beck, mahavishnu orchestra ,etc... is.
i see only a couple where he ACTUALLY advertises in his video that he is selling the stuff.
one reader said it best. the quality is passable, who would pay for that ? i see youtube as a preview for the videos i would want to buy. that what has been happening for me , since i found youtube, i have been buying dvd of the artists i like.
they wouldn't have earn my sale had it not been for youtube.
bottom line once again, ask the artist. if she is against youtube, then make it known in her website to the effect of PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT YOUTUBE.
then, as a fan, i will know this, and will do my part to report an infringement.
i think most artists are not that petty. -

Divorce Rate Drops but not for Baby Boomers
How many times have we heard about how the baby boomers have changed things? They wanted to change the world in the 1960's, they wanted to bring peace and love to mankind. Then they traded their bell-bottoms for business suits and work clothes and joined the capitalists. Women joined the work force in record numbers. Here in Oahu and there on Maui that has really happened, for instance.
Yes, they (the boomers in question) have wanted it all, and they still do. A large number of boomers own 1 or more second homes or similiar pieces of real estate, for example. Jeff Kunerth, writing for the Orlando Sentinel, posted the story yesterday, December 14, 2011, under the title, "Aging baby boomers boost divorce rate among older adults." Kunerth says that although the general divorce rate in the United States has fallen, the divorce among 50 to 64 year-olds has shot up. It is really something. Here in Hawaii, for example, you see a lot of Oahu Real estate (Read more about Oahu Real estate), and likewise Maui properties that are a result of a divorce overall, as a broad example. It just seems the family law and divorce lawyer firms are doing good, at least here in Seattle and Bellevue.
No, we don't think of oldsters getting divorced, starting all over, but the boomers are changing that, just as they changed so many other social norms. Kunerth tells the story of Lucie Elmer, who married young, got a divorce and remarried. The second marriage lasted 28 years, but then Lucie got her second divorce.
Lucie Elmer, age 54, was quoted by Kunerth as saying, "Even though I was a very independent person, when it came to being divorced at this age, now it's just you. It's frightening and exciting." A friend of mine lost some of his Oahu and Maui Real Estate (Source) in this kind of a situation.
Kunerth also quoted Susan L. Brown, co-director of the National Center for Family & Marriage Research at Bowling Green University in Ohio, as saying, "(we used to think those) 'Older (folks), they don't get divorced. Now one in four people getting divorced is over the age of 50. In 1990, it was less than one in ten (overall)."
Kunerth notes Brown's research discovered that the divorce rate for those 50 to 64 rose from 6.9 divorces per 1,000 marriages in 1990 to 12.6 in 2009, while the overall divorce rate in the United States fell from 18.95 to 17.92. We all know older couples who seem to merely endure their marriages. It's a new paradigm in thinking ; women are more independent and both sexes want the most out of all the years of their lives. Well I am off to Seattle.

In a race unlike any other, politics have mixed with mainstream media, PR stunts and campaign tactics cannot be deciphered, and candidates are currently in a full-fledged ad war. First ladies have turned into public enemies, and lines have been drawn inside of political parties.
But the single, most plain asset in this political chaos that we call the 2008 presidential race is most certainly the element of surprise.
Partisan or non-partisan, liberal or conservative, we can all agree on one thing – Sarah Palin was a surprise. The little-known one term Alaskan governor has set political media to a standstill, hitting nerves on everyone, liberal, conservative, or independent. She has changed politics as we know it, stirring so many feelings that can't all be represented by just one writing.
So how can we take all of this in? The truth is, we can't. Which ever party you support, which every race and creed you are, you simply can't take in Palin without emotion.
And this is exactly what John McCain wanted.
He wanted this news frenzy. He wanted the blogging world, liberal and conservative to explode into opinion. He wanted chaos to erupt in the media world, (i.e. the OK! Magazine bias). He wanted people like me and you to think long and hard about this media bonanza — he wanted a diversion.
Understanding the importance of his vice presidential pick, McCain couldn't simply choose anyone. He needed to go out of the ordinary, not into the realm of his contenders, middle-aged white males who would be perceived just like they have for two-hundred years.
And no matter how unreliable, local or politically ripe Sarah Palin was, he knew she would create the second big bang. He knew that she would occupy every political blog, think tank, magazine, and newspaper. And finally, he knew that she would provide a wall between both parties, blacking out media solely focused on the Democrats.
Palin's experience is an issue, but McCain knew he could exploit this to the fullest, initiating a media strategy that could literately absorb any attack from the left.
And in a sense, this has succeeded, with help from Sarah Palin herself.
Her choosing for running mate has acted as a literal smoke bomb, creating only a small explosion, but then spreading over the entire mainstream media, sparking a spreading cloud of mist. Palin, acting as bait, has done all she has needed to do, unleashing attack speeches when needed and sparking controversy with her "troopergate" scandal as well as he pregnant daughter. The media then proceeded to take the bait, igniting a fire within itself and not running a story without the world "Palin" in it.
Meanwhile, Palin actually has stayed away from the media, ignoring any invitations for interviews on sit-down shows and political debate television as well.
Why? She doesn't need too.
Palin's one weakness is the one trait that you would assume a running mate would use to his/her advantage – politics. McCain knows that if Palin explodes back into the media, accepting interviews and arguing head-on with the liberal press, she will be beaten to her knees, and a coupe-de-grace will be imminent during her mandatory debate with opposing running mate Joe Biden.
And because of this, the future is more of an enemy to the conservatives than Barack Obama, and if the Democrats plan to exploit this, they must understand that for now, they have lost the battle of the present.

Nakagin Capsule Tower
Kisho Kurokawa
Tokyo, Japan
The Nakagin Capsule Tower was the first capsule
architecture design, the capsule as a room inserted into a
mega-structure, built for actual use. The Capsule Tower realizes
the ideas of metabolism, exchangeability, recycleablity as the
prototype of sustainable architecture.
Located in the Ginza area of Tokyo, the Nagakin Capsule Tower, was
originally designed as a Capsule Hotel to provide economical
housing for businessmen working late in central Tokyo during the
The 14-story high Tower has 140 capsules stacked at angles around
a central core. Kurokawa developed the technology to install the
capsule units into the concrete core with only 4 high-tension
bolts, as well as making the units detachable and
The one-man-room capsule, a modified (4 x 2.5 meter) shipping
container, has a circular window, a built-in bed and bathroom unit,
and is complete with TV, radio and alarm clock. The capsule
interior was pre-assembled in a factory then hoisted by crane and
fastened to the concrete core shaft.
The Nakagin Capsule Tower realizes the ideas of metabolism, exchangeability, recycleablity as the prototype of sustainable architecture.
Residents in Japan's most famous experiment in living and working in tiny pods are now plotting its demolition. Kurokawa's design theory was to replace the capsules when needed but the building has not been maintained in 33 years which has caused drainage and water pipes to be damaged.
The international heritage protection group Docomomo, have
unsuccessfully pleaded for the United Nations' heritage arm to
protect this landmark building.
The Sony Tower (1976) in Osaka, also designed by Kurokawa, is
another prototypical example of sustainable architecture. The
capsules are the same size as those of the Nakagin Capsule Tower,
but the exterior is made of stainless steel.

Financial Intermediation and Liquidity
This paper first reviews the basic theory of financial intermediation. In particular, the paper presents the main modeling device that rationalizes financial intermediaries as liquidity providers. In the second part of the paper we build on the basic model to analyze recent developments in the theory of financial intermediation. Especially motivated by the 2007/2008 financial crisis, we show how this literature could help to explain phenomena like financial contagion and systemic liquidity crises. Finally, we deal with the possible welfare benefit of liquidity regulation.

Will oil prices decline over the long run?
At present, oil markets appear to be behaving in a fashion similar to that in the late 1970s and early 1980s when oil prices rose sharply over an extended period. Furthermore, like at that time, analysts are split on whether such increases will persist or reverse, and if so by how much. The present paper argues that the similarities between the two episodes are not as strong as they might appear at first sight, and that the likelihood of sharp reversals in prices is not particularly great. There are a number of reasons in support of the view that it is unlikely that the first two decades of this century will mimic the last two decades of the previous century. First, oil demand is likely to grow significantly in line with strong economic growth in non-OECD countries. Second, on the supply side, OPEC is likely to enhance its control over markets over the next two decades, as supply increases in newly opened areas will only partially offset declining rates of production in other geologically mature non-OPEC oil regions. Moreover, while concerns about climate change will spur global efforts to reduce carbon emissions, these efforts are not expected to reduce oil demand. Finally, although there is much talk about alternative fuels, few of these are economically viable at the prices currently envisioned, and given the structural impediments, there is a reduced likelihood that the market will be able to generate sufficient quantities of these alternative fuels over the forecast horizon. The above factors imply that oil prices are likely to continue to exceed the USD 70 to USD 90 range over the long term. JEL Classification: Q41, Q42, Q43

Stockton filing for bankruptcy, biggest U.S. city to do so
STOCKTON – Officials in Stockton said Tuesday that mediation with creditors has failed, meaning the Central Valley city is set to become the largest American city ever to declare bankruptcy.
City Manager Bob Deis said officials were unable to reach a deal to restructure hundreds of millions of dollars of debt under a new state law designed to help municipalities avoid bankruptcy.
Monday marked the three-month deadline for negotiations.
"Unfortunately we have no comprehensive set of agreements with our creditors that would eliminate the deficit and avoid insolvency," Deis said at a City Council meeting. He said, however, that the city was still negotiating with some creditors and could reach deals with as many as one-third of them.
"We think Chapter 9 protection is the only choice left. If we get any agreements, those will be honored in Chapter 9," Deis said.
The council was expected to vote later Tuesday on a special bankruptcy budget to plug next year's anticipated $26 million deficit, and city lawyers could file for Chapter 9 protection in court as soon as Wednesday.
In opting to become the nation's largest city to seek federal bankruptcy protection, this river port of 290,000 took a rare financial step of last resort after struggling with the economic downturn, soaring pension costs and contractual obligations.
Thirteen cities, counties and other government entities filed for bankruptcy protection last year – the highest annual level in nearly two decades. Stockton was the seventh U.S. municipality to file this year and the first California city since Vallejo, which sought protection in 2008, according to James Spiotto, a Chicago bankruptcy attorney who tracks municipal bankruptcies.
"Filing bankruptcy is time-consuming, expensive and complicated," said Spiotto, noting that Vallejo spent millions of dollars alone on attorneys and other bankruptcy professionals. "And you never get the results you desire."
That's why experts are divided on whether other financially struggling cities, towns and other government entities will follow Stockton to bankruptcy court. Spiotto said it will be hard and expensive for Stockton to obtain financing.
Others say bankruptcy comes with nonmonetary costs, too.
"Being in bankruptcy is decimating to your staff and morale," said Deborah Lauchner, Vallejo's finance director. "There's so much uncertainty. ... We've been taken apart and ripped by the seams and everybody examined us."
Since Congress added Chapter 9 to the bankruptcy code in 1937 to allow municipalities to seek protection, some 640 government entities have filed. Last year's 13 filings almost doubled the six filed in 2010. That was the most since an equal number were filed in 1994.
By comparison, roughly 1.5 million Americans file for personal bankruptcy a year while some 50,000 companies file for business bankruptcy.
"Bankruptcy is a huge drain on municipalities, because they have limited ways to create more revenue," said Los Angeles bankruptcy lawyer, Karol Denniston.
Stockton City Manager Bob Deis said officials were left with little choice but to recommend bankruptcy after failing to hammer out finance agreements with creditors to address the city's $26 million budget shortfall.
"Unfortunately we have no comprehensive set of agreements with our creditors that would eliminate the deficit and avoid insolvency," Deis said at the City Council meeting Tuesday night. He said, however, that the city was still negotiating with some creditors and could reach deals with as many as one-third of them.
"We think Chapter 9 protection is the only choice left," Deis said. "If we get any agreements, those will be honored in Chapter 9."
The City Council on Tuesday voted 6-1 to adopt a special bankruptcy budget to address Stockton's $26 million shortfall if the city files for bankruptcy, as expected, by Friday.
The city has been hit hard by high crime and the collapse of the housing market in the past three years. It's also dealt with $90 million in deficits through a series of drastic cuts.
The new budget did not call for additional service cuts beyond those that earlier slashed the police force by one-fourth, the fire department by one-third and 40 percent of other city employees, along with wages and medical benefits.
The budget approved Tuesday night would suspend payments for debts and legal claims; reduce payments for retiree medical benefits; further cut some pay and benefits; and increase revenue through code enforcement and parking citations.
In standing-room-only chambers, former city employees told council members about their life-threatening medical conditions and said benefit cuts meant they would effectively lose their health insurance.
"For me, bankruptcy might as well be a life sentence," said Gary Jones, a retiree who used to be a police officer in Stockton and said he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Other residents complained about plummeting property values, and recurring break-ins and robberies.
"The average citizen will not put up with this. Their home prices have plummeted, they have no jobs, a lot of people are getting fed up so that they have to resort to crime." said Gregory Pitsch, a 22-year-old unemployed resident who made an unsuccessful run for mayor. "I'm asking you to make the right decision, not destroy the property values in this city, which bankruptcy will do."
But city officials said this Central Valley city in the state's agricultural heartland has run out of options. In recent years, thousands of new homes mushroomed in Stockton, part of a suburban housing boom that attracted buyers from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. When the economy crashed and the construction bubble burst, Stockton was battered by foreclosures and lost income from property taxes and other fees.
Under bankruptcy protection, officials would retain power over day-to-day city operations and staffing, but a judge would take over all decisions concerning the city's debts, said Robert Benedetti, professor of political science at the University of the Pacific in Stockton.
The judge would decide which creditors should be paid, how much and in what order. He would make allowances for expenditures needed by the city to function, and it would be up to city officials to decide how to spend that money.
"One of reasons a city might want to go the bankruptcy route is that they don't want a situation where they have to pay out debts and have to close the police or fire department," Benedetti said. "Filing for Chapter 9 means you're asking the court to protect you against lawsuits from people who hold your debt.
"Bankruptcy won't take away Stockton's underlying financial problems, one of which is the economy, the high unemployment rate and the high foreclosure rate," he said. "It will take years for them to come out of this."
If Stockton files for bankruptcy, it would be the largest city by population to do so, according to Spiotto, the Chicago bankruptcy lawyer who tracks filings. He said Bridgeport, Conn., is currently the largest city to file for bankruptcy, which it did in 1991.
Jefferson County in Alabama is the largest local government bankruptcy filing to date in terms of the size of its debt. It occurred in November 2011. Before that, the largest local bankruptcy was Orange County, in 1994. Orange County emerged from bankruptcy in 1996.
Stockton was the first city to test a new state mediation law, Assembly Bill 506, which is less than 6 months old.
Under the law, municipalities considering bankruptcy must first negotiate behind closed doors with creditors for up to three months, with the goal of settling debts without filing for Chapter 9 protection.
Bankruptcy lawyer Denniston, who helped draft the bill, said legislators in other states are interested in how the mediation process could be used elsewhere.
"Nationwide, we're faced with a ton of municipal distress," Denniston said, noting dire economic conditions, massive foreclosures and future pension obligations. "It's the perfect storm."

My prblems is now that I mised out on the piece of heart in the second chest in the cave preceding that ....is it possible to retrace steps to get it ?

well I have managed to release talo and the monkey, rounded up the second lot of goats, and now the kids wont let me get my horse back (he is injured and is being bathed in the lake) until i give them my wooden sword. Once I can get past them, get my horse i can hopefully go back along the route I have so far travelld in order to open that second chest :crazy:
Don't feel so bad. I couldn't figure it out the first time and I got pecked to death. Litterally. I died. After that I was pretty satisfied that I got away with stealing the potion from a bird.

When I saw Pacific Rim last week, I was reminded of an earlier generation of heroes—teenagers who occasionally called upon giant, multi-pilot robots to fight against unearthly creatures and save the world (or at least Angel Grove) every single week. Here are a few great fight sequences from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Get a good look at the Rangers' original dinozords before they combine into the Megazord.
The original Rangers take on the Goldar-piloted Cyclopsis—with a little help from Dragonzord.
Rita Repulsa's Green Ranger (Tommy! Under mind control) has a zord of his own, which eventually leads to an epic (and unembeddable) zord on zord battle. The horror!
The Thunder Megazord's very first battle, against a creature Alpha calls an "overgrown guppy."
Comes with a totally sick theme song.
This battle doesn't go so well for our beloved Power Rangers.
The trailer for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie (from 35mm, no less!). The ultimate adventure, indeed.


text: The Behringer ADA8000 is a state-of-the art 8-channel A/D and D/A converter with 8 built-in IMP microphone preamplifiers. This ultra-compact 19 inch unit gives lets you connect analog audio signals directly to a multitrack recorder or similar equipment via the integrated ADAT interface and needs only one rack space for this purpose! In return, you can even connect the digital signal of a multitracker via ADAT to the eight analog line outputs of your ADA8000. Of course, the Behringer ADA8000 is a perfect expansion of the Behringer DDX3216 digital mixing console, and lets you turn your DDX3216 into a full-fledged 32-channel console. Signal conversion can be processed at 44.1 or 48 kHz with 24-bit resolution. The ADAT inputs and outputs can be operated independently as long as there is an identical wordclock signal. The integrated A/D and D/A converters ensure optimal signal conversion without any distortion or signal deterioration. At the heart of the ADA8000 is its preamp section with eight ultra low-noise IMP Invisible Mic Preamps. Both 44.1 and 48kHz sample rate processing and extensive connections turn the ADA8000 into a flexible recording system control center for any studio: eight analog inputs and outputs plus an optical ADAT IN/OUT interface that can be routed to each of the line outputs guarantee professional flexibility. All mic/line inputs can be routed to the ADAT output. Additionally, external sample rate synchronization is possible via wordclock or the ADAT input. Eight audio channels with combined XLR and 1/4 inch inputs are available at the front facilitating flexible configuration of recording sessions without having to rewire an existing setup. Balanced inputs and outputs guarantee low-noise signal management. The intensity of all input channels can be adjusted at the rack module, and can be muted or directly forwarded to an output. This allows the ADA8000 to be used as stand-alone preamplifier and audio mixer for a plethora of applications.

When PR agencies spam
Found this link over at Al Iverson's SpamResource.com. An editor at Wired is posting email addresses of all the public relations agencies that send him unsolicited press releases via email.
If you run a PR agency, and you send unsolicited emails in bulk, yes---that's spam.
Send them one at a time, then technically it's not spam. But you'll still piss people off:

Only the T8 is an autoloader, if I recall.
Only the T8 is an autoloader, if I recall.
Definitely a Bat Chat chassis according to wargamming.
That bottom one looks like a Jagdpanther.
Except scarier.
Also here is a first look at all the new French tanks.
Reminds me of an IS for some reason...
I honestly want to see more british tanks like the firefly sherman. Tigers and panthers beware! Or the crusader...despite its lack in firepower I generally liked the look of this tank.
mhmm, 6pder at tier 5 but that will most likely make it UP'd when facing something like a T1 HT or KV so there must be some other weapon with the penetration to help...Unless these things were quite fast, also I wonder if WG is going to give most of the british tanks AP only seeing thats what they pretty much had for the start of the war...AP with no HE...
I don't think Wargaming doesn't take WW2 production into account...
Considering this isn't a WW2 game.
You mean, not any more it's not.
t28 needs a gun on the back so I can shoot all the fucking retards on my team that are behind me not doing shit
It never was.
Those T110's are hilariously easy to kill, the 2 I was facing were just dinging shell after shell off my sides and frontal. T110's are so easy to kill in an IS7, I dont get why people are so scared of them.
Pretty much a faster, smaller, sexier churchill.
Me and a friend played artillery together with another friend being a T-28 scout.
GW Tiger and S-51.
First time the game got boring - we had about 16 victories and one loss. Long story short, artillery is absolutely broken as fuck; especially high-tier. Most of our matches looked like this:
And worst off, only one match did we have 1 kill between us. Most was 4-9.
I know I said I wouldn't spend any cash on the game but I think FCM 2C Bis looks too good to pass up. Unless it gets fucked up badly in MM.
It will probably be a tier V or VI max. I can't see something so massive and lightly armed being higher than that. I really hope they do write off the 2C Bis as a pure trollcannon tank and not a SPG. Same goes when they add the Sturmtiger.
How to use 105 Jagdpanther?
Somehow I like the 88 better. Maybe it's because it seems to pen more. 105 costs 1k per shell argh. All my money...
Purely TD-mode sturmtiger would by the funnest shit since sliced bread.
High tier hetzer replacement.
Nothing like the smell of 380mm rockets in the morning
Nothin' like the smell of scaling it's damage off the T92 and then realizing it'd have well over 3200+ damage and have up to a 20-25m splash area.
Sturmtiger is gonna be hilarious. If they really do give it ridiculous splash and damage it'll be a must buy premium tank
Wargaming logic.
It doesn't make any sense if they make it on the BatChat 25t chassis, it's this thing. It's a M47 Patton, but apparently it goes 62 kph.
It seems that every t10 driver says that he has no problems at all with other t10s.
the ticket titled 'stop deleting my tickets' was deleted
I give up on support. Someone want to recommend a section of the forum that I can post in for maximum attention?
Scout1 is the hero WoT deserves, but nobody wants
Stug E-100
15 cm KwK44 L/68
That doesn't look like the 15cm L/68, it looks even shorter than the 128 L/62.
Awesome gun. Source for pics?
Second german TD line is going to be the best shit EVER.
ETA on that line?
I hope its soon.
I'm betting early winter 2012 and am damn sure of it
They still gotta release physics/french TD/SPGs and bunch of other shit before the new german TDs
Thanks to the sale, I now have my su-152. Any suggestions as what to research first?
I would've rather this
Even though it doesn't work due to the gun and armor or something about space...It looks a lot better compared to the other E-100 TD design.
You can jump to this from the ferdi right? I think I'll grind enough for it and wait a few years for this to come out.
The 15 cm KwK44 L/68 mount just couldn't fit on that superstructure. It was either that back mounted superstructure which is happening or the same mounted on the front, so it would work sorta like JagdTiger.
I rather dig the back mounted design.
damn that marder commander is ~fab~
I'd like to see a marder built from a KT chassis.
Seeing as the tier 3 marder is the bee's knees already, imagine the win from that sexy beast.
He should, Mother fucker got 19 kills.
It's very likely going to be a T10 TD (atleast according to some russian dev post) so it might be something that both JT and the new german line's T9 TD can jump into. I have no idea. Better to wait for the official announcement.
I did some research and found that it could very well be near identical to the M7.
I wonder if German TD drivers are going to get anything like the US and USSR heavy drivers got/are getting (aka tons of free shit).

It has been a long time since we heard anything about Nick Cave's "The Death Of Bunny Munro," so we'll bring you back up to speed. First conceived as a script, when Cave couldn't get it produced he turned the story into a novel that is on bookshelves now. But in a little bit of an ironic twist, in 2009 it was reported that Cave's regular collaborator John Hillcoat ("The Road," "The Proposition," "The Wettest County") was going to adapt it for British televison. Then in the summer of 2010 Cave revealed that Ray Winstone was interested in the lead role, and then…nothing since. But the hope is still alive.
The Mail Online caught up with Winstone at some posh fashion store opening, and presumably with a few drinks in him, he made an outrageously awesome statement about the brewing project, at least giving us hope it's still very much on Hillcoat and Cave's plate. "We're going to make it extreme. It'll make 'Shame' look like the 'Teletubbies,' " Winstone proclaimed. Okay, then. While we'll have to see just how tawdry it gets, to the actor's credit, the source material isn't exactly cute and cuddly.
The story follows the titular alcoholic, lotion salesman, whose door-to-door technique usually involves sleeping witih his clients, but his life is turned upside down by the suicide of his wife. Now responsible for his nine-year-old son, Monroe gets him away from their house and goes on a road trip that ultimately develops into a sharp descent into depravity. In short, he's a sex addict who also has to forge a relationship with his child. Promising, but yes, very dark material indeed.
No word on if or when this is moving forward, but clearly Winstone is still enthused by the project. Either way, it'll have to wait until "The Wettest County" gets out of the gate, and that film lands in theaters on August 31st.

Along with scoring a new film for Cartier, French electronic duo Air also hit the studio to record a full-length album, Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip to the Moon). It's the follow-up to 2009's Love 2 and it finds Air again working with the idea of writing a film score. This time, however, they're putting together a modern soundtrack for 1902 French silent film Le Voyage Dans La Lune by Georges Méliès.
The album is actually an expanded take on the same soundtrack they put together for the updated version of the film that debuted at Cannes earlier this year. It features guest vocals from Au Revoir Simone and Victoria Legrand, of Beach House. Air's Nicolas Godin released the following statement on the album:
"A Trip to the Moon is undoubtedly more organic than most of our past projects. We wanted it to sound 'handmade,' knocked together', a bit like Méliès' special effects. Everything is played live … like Méliès' film, our soundtrack is nourished by living art."
Le Voyage Dans La Lune is due out Feb. 7 on Astralwerks. View the track listing below.

Uruguay has announced that the Chamber of Deputies will vote on the legalization of same sex marriage on 11 December.
Five months ago, the government approved the recognition of same sex marriage legalized in other countries. The law was supported by the Constitution Committee and the Codes of the House including two opposition legislators.
Frente Amplio legislator Julio Bango, a supporter of the law, said the law would pass the Senate in 2013 after the summer recess. He noted the dispute about name order for children of same sex marriages but said that issue would be resolved in the next week.
The law reads, "the institution of marriage will mean the union of two parties, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation thereof at the same terms with the same effects established in the Civil Code". The law will extend to include homosexuals, lesbians and transsexuals.
In 2007 Uruguay became the first Latin American country to legalize same sex civil unions.
In 2009, Uruguay passed the Law of Gender Identity and Name Change Registry that states "everyone has the right to free development of their personality according to their own gender identity, regardless of their biological, genetic, anatomical, morphological, hormonal or other sexual assignment".
Uruguay has passed several other liberal laws such as legalization of abortion and the sale of government-owned marijuana.
