There was a time when we economists steered clear of politics. We viewed our job as describing how market economies work, when they fail, and how well-designed policies can enhance efficiency. We analysed trade-offs between competing objectives and prescribed policies to meet desired economic outcomes, including redistribution. It was up to politicians to take our advice (or not) and to bureaucrats to implement it.
Then some of us became more ambitious. Frustrated by the reality that much of our advice went unheeded, we turned our analytical tool kit on the behaviour of politicians and bureaucrats themselves. We began to examine political behaviour using the same conceptual framework that we use for consumer and producer decisions in a market economy. Politicians became income-maximising suppliers of policy favours; citizens became rent-seeking lobbies and special interests; and political systems became marketplaces in which votes and political influence are traded for economic benefits.
Thus was born the field of rational-choice political economy, and a style of theorising that many political scientists readily emulated. The apparent payoff was that we could now explain why politicians did so many things that violated economic rationality. Indeed, there was no economic malfunction that the two words "vested interests" could not account for.
Why are so many industries closed off to real competition? Because politicians are in the pockets of the incumbents who reap the rents. Why do governments erect barriers to international trade? Because the beneficiaries of trade protection are concentrated and politically influential, while consumers are disorganised. Why do political elites block reforms that would spur economic growth and development? Because growth and development would undermine their hold on political power. Why are there financial crises? Because banks capture the policymaking process so that they can take excessive risks at the expense of the general public.
In order to change the world, we need to understand it. And this mode of analysis seemed to transport us to a higher level of understanding of economic and political outcomes. But there was a deep paradox in all of this. The more we claimed to be explaining, the less room was left for improving matters. If politicians' behaviour is determined by the vested interests to which they are beholden, economists' advocacy of policy reforms is bound to fall on deaf ears. The more complete our social science, the more irrelevant our policy analysis.
This is where the analogy between human sciences and natural sciences breaks down. Consider the relationship between science and engineering. As scientists' understanding of the physical laws of nature grows more sophisticated, engineers can build better bridges and buildings. Improvements in natural science enhance, rather than impede, our ability to shape our physical environment.
The relationship between political economy and policy analysis is not at all like this. By endogenizing politicians' behaviour, political economy dis-empowers policy analysts. It is as if physicists came up with theories that explained not only natural phenomena, but also determined which bridges and buildings engineers would build. There would then scarcely be any need for engineering schools.
If it seems to you that something is wrong with this, you are on to something. In reality, our contemporary frameworks for political economy are replete with unstated assumptions about the system of ideas underlying the operation of political systems. Make those assumptions explicit, and the decisive role of vested interests evaporates. Policy design, political leadership, and human agency come back to life.
There are ways in which ideas shape interests. First, ideas determine how political elites define themselves and the objectives they pursue – money, status, longevity in power, etc. These questions of identity are central to how they choose to act.
Second, ideas determine political actors' views about how the world works. Powerful business interests will lobby for different policies when they believe that fiscal stimulus yields only inflation than when they believe that it generates higher aggregate demand. Revenue hungry governments will impose a lower tax when they think that it can be evaded than when they think that it cannot.
Most important from the perspective of policy analysis, ideas determine the strategies that political actors believe they can pursue. For example, one way for the elites to remain in power is to suppress all economic activity. But another is to encourage economic development, while diversifying their own economic base, establishing coalitions, fostering state-directed industrialisation, or pursuing a variety of other strategies limited only by the elites' imagination. Expand the range of feasible strategies and you radically change behaviour and outcomes. Economic change often happens not when vested interests are defeated, but when different strategies are used to pursue those interests.
Political economy, undoubtedly, remains important. Without a clear understanding of who gains and who loses from the status quo, it is difficult to make sense of our existing policies. But an excessive focus on vested interests can easily divert us from the critical contribution that policy analysis and political entrepreneurship can make. The possibilities of economic change are limited not just by the realities of political power, but also by the poverty of our ideas.

SunFest plans to reveal the lineup coming to downtown West Palm Beach April 30-May 4 on the festival's Facebook page Thursday morning. But we do have one name to name now.
NoCal indie rockers Cake include an April 30 appearance at SunFest on their website, nestled right up against a May 2 performance at the massive Big Guava Festival in Tampa.
This illustrates the challenge in predicting other SunFest performers (something of a second job to many of the festival's Facebook friends): Many bands that would be perfect for a Sunfest headlining slot are touring the Southeast in late April, but it probably doesn't help us to be bookended by the Counterpoint Festival (Rome, Ga., April 25-27) and Big Guava (May 2-4), where both bills are topped by OutKast, Foster the People, Sleigh Bells and Pretty Lights.
While SunFest is mum until Thursday morning, and seems to have bands other than Cake on lockdown, we can engage in some wishful thinking. Here are some performers who will be in Florida at the right time and seem to fit SunFest, plus others we'd just like to see.
Vampire Weekend is among many acts coming south for Big Guava (performing May 3), but they'll also be at the Fillmore Miami Beach April 30-May 1. There are, no doubt, contractual stipulations about competing shows in the same market, but both Fillmore concerts are sold out. How about May 2, Vampires?
Band of Skulls are at Big Guava May 3, then play Revolution Live May 4. Again, their schedule is open on May 2.
The young Los Angeles trio Haim will be at the Fillmore April 29, in Atlanta May 2, then back to Big Guava on May 3. Can we interest you in an April 30 show, ladies?
Tegan and Sara play Revolution Live on April 12, but return to Florida for Big Guava on May 3. They're open until a May 9 date in Toronto. Girl Talk plays Big Guava May 4, but Gregg Gillis appears to have time in the days before. Likewise, Gringo Star plays Big Guava May 4, but otherwise looks free.
Random possiblities that are touring, exude a SunFest vibe, with space on their schedules, include Jason Mraz (debuting songs from a new album with a West Coast tour next month), Matt & Kim, Amy Ray (the Indigo Girl released a fine country album last month), Big Gigantic, Ozomatli, Major Lazer (featuring South Florida ex Diplo), Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 (new album out May 24), Earth Wind & Fire, Ziggy Marley (at Fort Lauderdale's Tortuga Music Festival April 12) and (as a nod to pop-celebrity energy Cee Lo Green brought in 2011) Robin Thicke …
If SunFest is thinking local: Weston rapper Jake Miller performs at Big Guava on May 2, but has no performances scheduled the rest of the weekend. Miami's irrepressible Jacuzzi Boys also play the Tampa festival May 3, but how perfect would they be for SunFest?
The same could be said for three of the best proponents of the new Miami sound, that contemporary hybrid of salsa, reggae, funk and DJ noodling found in the music of Suenalo (new album just out), the Spam Allstars (new album imminent) and Locos por Juana.
While we're at it, the vivacious retro-rock of Hollywood's Beach Day was born to be played at SunFest. Ditto the engaging, songwriterly romance of Plantation ex Jacob Jeffries.
And could there be a better way for West Palm Beach's Surfer Blood to follow up their April 20 gig at Coachella than with a performance at SunFest? We think not.

We here at PSLS might be all excited about the PS Vita (and beyond), but as a high-priced machine, with full priced titles, some gamers have decided to pick up Sony's last-gen machines to gain access to a huge library of budget titles. Apparently, demand is so high for the older platforms that Sony can't even keep up with PS2 and PSP supplies.
SCEA Boss Jack Tretton was asked by Forbes whether the PSP would still receive support and future games, and replied:
The PSP will continue to sell on at $129. Right now there is more demand for PSP than there is production capacity… that is pretty much truth with the PlayStation 2 as well. PlayStation 2 will continue to sell as long as we can build it profitably and there is an audience for it, and PSP will follow that same trend.
Interestingly, Tretton doesn't actually say whether the PSP will receive more games. What is also interesting is his statement regarding PSP and PS2 demand in the US – considering neither devices have made any serious impact on the NPD sales charts in years, how many old consoles are Sony actually producing? With both devices being sold at a profit after years of manufacturing improvements and cost cutting changes, it does seem odd that Sony isn't making enough to keep up with all the PS2 and PSP-hungry gamers.
When was the last time you played on a PS2? Let us know in the comments below.

ROCKFORD — The fifth season of Rockford City Market kicks off Friday.
Once again, the market will expand to accommodate the continued increase in the number of vendors and visitors. In 2013, when more than 75,000 patrons attended Rockford City Market, the grounds were expanded north on Water Street. The grounds have again been expanded farther north on Water Street to the Jefferson Street bridge.
The market is welcoming back many vendors from last year such as AnJan's Eats, Bella Luna Bakery and Wood Fire Brick Oven Pizza. New vendors include Popcorn Parlor, Joey C's Pasta and Woodford Street Baking Company. Additionally, Rockford Brewing Company and Pig Minds Brewing Company have partnered to provide locally brewed craft beer, filling the vacancy left by Carlyle's departure. LaMonica Beverages will also have an additional booth on Water Street this year.
"We're thankful for the relationship we have had with Carlyle over the past four years. Carlyle Brewing Company has been an asset to the Rockford City Market since its inception, and we remain grateful for their participation," said Peter Provenzano, chairman of Rock River Development Partnership, which runs City Market. "We look forward to growing our relationship with Pig Minds, Rockford Brewing and LaMonica to complement the market and continue to provide a craft brew experience for patrons."
Rockford Health System will again be the presenting sponsor for the Rockford City Market. RHS's booth at Market and Water streets will spotlight a different department each week and include interactive activities. The opening week of the market will feature Dr. Liza Kim and her colleagues from the Plastic Surgery Department discussing the latest in cosmetic surgery and skin enhancements.
Podiatrist Nathan Norem and staff from the Podiatry Department will share tips for healthy feet and the latest information about innovations in podiatric surgery.
Each week the market will feature different live music performances and market promotions, and will showcase activities and demonstrations for children.
About 46 percent of patrons discovered a new downtown business during a trip to the seasonal market, according to a survey by Rock River Development Partnership. An estimated $2.2 million was spent by patrons at Rockford City Market, and $1.3 million was spent at downtown businesses on market nights in 2013, a study by Market Umbrella showed.

Austin Hospital booking system brings grief to cancer sufferer
NOTE: A complaint to the Australian Press Council about this article was partly upheld. Read the full adjudication here
Until May last year, Kevin Biaggini had no reason to doubt his care at the Austin Hospital. In November 2012, the Ivanhoe father was treated there for liver cancer and thought the medical and administrative staff were excellent.
But when the hospital introduced its new "Patient Choice" booking system in May last year, Mr Biaggini said things started to deteriorate. After having a routine MRI scan on May 15 to check his liver was clear of cancer, he received an unexpected phone call 10 days later. The nurse wanted to know why he had not attended an appointment that week.
"Straight away I knew what was in the wind," he said.
The nurse went on to tell him the MRI had found more cancer and that he had been scheduled for treatment that week.
"They called me on the assumption I had already been informed, but no letter had been generated, there was no text message, no email - nothing. I said to her, 'This is the first I've heard of it, I'm really shocked,' and she said, 'Oh, maybe it's something to do with the new system."'
Mr Biaggini, 64, said after having treatment that month, he had a follow-up scan last July, followed by the same experience.
Again a nurse called to ask about a follow-up appointment on the assumption Mr Biaggini knew his most recent scan had found more cancer.
"I just shook my head and thought, 'This is unbelievable,"' he said.
Mr Biaggini, who is now well after receiving a liver transplant in December, said he believed the new booking system had caused the "appalling cock-ups" and was letting hospital staff down.
But a spokeswoman for Austin Health, Taryn Sheehy, said although the hospital was sorry for his experience, it was not connected to the new booking system.
"Austin Health has sincerely apologised to Mr Biaggini for the distressing way this information was conveyed to him, although it is incorrect to attribute this communication error to the new booking system. His appointments were made under the old booking system," she said.
Mr Biaggini said he doubted this. He was one of dozens of patients who contacted The Age on Tuesday with complaints about the Patient Choice booking system, which was introduced at both the Austin Hospital and Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre.
When it started, hospital management cancelled about 49,000 future patient bookings with specialist doctors and sent patients letters advising them of the cancellations and a new system. Patients were told they would receive letters offering them appointments around the time they were previously due to come in, and that they could call to negotiate different times.
But staff told The Age it had been a "complete disaster", with confusing letters being sent out only in English or not at all, causing scores of patients to miss appointments or show up on wrong days or at incorrect times.
On Tuesday, Austin Health maintained that while there had been some technical issues with the system, it was superior to the previous one and had not caused anyone harm. But several cancer and neurosurgery patients told The Age their treatment was delayed for weeks or months because the system was incapable of booking them for dates specified by their doctors.
Victorian Health Minister David Davis would not comment on whether he was concerned about the system.

Suppose G is a 4-regular connected graph with a planar embedding such that every face has degree 3 or 4, and further that any 2 adjacent faces have different degrees.
For the first part, I have to prove that G has no bridges and hence that every edge in G is on the boundary of 2 distinct faces.
For the second part, I must determine precisely the number of vertices, edges, faces of degree 3, and faces of degree 4 in G.
Something tells me to use Euler's formula for the second part but I'm quite confused at the first part.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The most innovative tech companies today are building work cultures that fly in the face of tradition.
At companies like Valve and Github, gone are the managers who boss people around and expect servile compliance. In their place is a flat organizational structure where individuals manage themselves and each other to build awesome things through peer management. These are companies without bosses.
I know what you're thinking. "How does anything get done?" I admit that I had the same reaction when I first heard about bossless companies. But as I worked with and studied innovative companies like Zappos and up-and-comers like Wistia more closely, I saw how their focus on company culture drove productivity and motivation without hierarchy and authority.
What's at stake can't be understated, and it's as Github's Zach Holman recently put it: "The product is the byproduct." If you get the "people, process, and technology" right at your company, innovation, motivation, and self-directed engagement will result as a byproduct. It won't be something you'll need to cram down your employees' throats.
Trust is paramount, but it's also the biggest hurdle to overcome
Effective peer management relies on individuals having accountability and autonomy, and none of that can happen without trust. People who are stuck on the concept of the traditional hierarchical structure as the gold standard, or even a necessary evil, once a business has aged sufficiently and successfully enough to be "established" are buying into a system of a lack of trust, which drives the need to control. Instead, peer management works by entrusting and empowering individuals to control themselves.
A bossless or managerless company doesn't mean it's directionless. Peer management is guided by accountability, transparency, and work culture. The result is the autonomy and agility to carry out initiatives, and because of that freedom, those initiatives are very often creative and help mold the stand-out success of a company.
1. Every individual in the company must be accountable
In peer management settings, individuals steer themselves and others, and with that power comes great responsibility to be accountable. Companies can provide tools to help wield that great responsibility, such as accounting for peer feedback and even peer compensation. At Valve, employees crowdsource rates of pay, and at Shopify, peers give each other monthly bonuses that come out of company profits as a fun way to recognize good work.
Skillshare uses a system called Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), where objectives are broken into key results, to help carry out accountability and alignment within teams. OKRs provide a measure, at every week, month, and quarter, for individuals to evaluate their performance. One of the building blocks of inspiring tech companies, OKRs go back to Andy Grove's reign at Intel in the 1980s and continue today in smaller companies like Skillshare to larger ones like Google and Zynga. Zynga CEO Mark Pincus sleeps better at night knowing that OKRs "keep everybody going in productive directions when you're not in the room."
2. Unblock your information flow.
The essential ingredients of peer management like trust, accountability, peer feedback, and decision-making autonomy rely on transparency of information. The problem with old school, hierarchical companies is that managers end up operating as obstacles for spreading information freely within a company. And this only becomes a bigger problem as your company grows.
As the saying goes: "Do things, tell people. These are the only things you need to do to be successful." Opening an effective channel to "do things, tell people" is the surprisingly simple solution, distributing necessary information, including news of accomplishments, results, and feedback, to get stuff done.
The snippets system that Google uses is a way to do things and tell people. Every week, you get an email asking what you did in the previous week and what you plan on doing in the next. Responses are stored in a public space and distributed automatically the following day by email. The value of snippets is in creating an open channel to communicate what you're getting done over which you'll receive feedback.
This progress data and information-sharing are the fuel and food of peer management environments, driving dynamic, agile, and effective performance and building a culture of meritocracy and incredible individual professional fulfillment. Rising star companies like Shopify and Harvest track and celebrate their accomplishments in a similar way with a daily email system from us here at iDoneThis.
3. Strengthen your culture with every new hire.
Fit is paramount in peer management. Fit can require tactics more familiar to dating when trying to match candidates to a unique company of highly autonomous individuals. Stripe applies what they call the "Sunday test": " If this person was alone in the office on a Sunday, would that make you more likely to come in just to hang out with him? We only make a hire if the answer is a strong yes." Having taken such effort to build a team they believe in, Stripe also allows everyone a veto for candidates.
Stripe, Github, and Skillshare also take time to acclimatize new hires with an on-boarding process, cementing fit in those awkward first days of work and aligning them with the company culture and vision. Github has an induction week of social events and assigns a buddy to help people settle in, while Skillshare welcomes new hires by cooking them breakfast. Stripe has newbies float through different groups in the first few days to meet people, familiarize themselves with work, and set up the ability to be mobile later on.
Chris Savage, co-founder and CEO of the rapidly growing business-video hosting company, Wistia, finds that the interaction of culture and fit become "a competitive advantage." As Wistia grows with an eye toward whether candidates will mesh with its quirky culture, the company itself advances, because "we're hiring for values that the company believes in, and people with those values should make it stronger."
Doubters have said that these companies will inevitably become hierarchical and bureaucratic, but that hasn't happened even as Valve and Github get into the hundreds of employees. What's startling is that these innovative companies retain this flat structure as they grow out of the fledgling startup phase, reinventing how businesses are built and organized by recognizing the role of peer management in their continued success.
The bottom line is that innovation and information has trouble traveling through hierarchies and managers, and so the most exciting companies today have chosen innovation over predictability. As Andy Grove put it, "Let chaos reign, then rein in chaos."
With peer management, accountability isn't to a boss or supervisor, it's to each other, your team, your company, your customers — and because of the level of autonomy and personal engagement with your work and objectives, it's to yourself. That's way more motivating than being told what to do. Using peer management to build a culture that enables motivation, autonomy, and purpose makes work fulfilling and joyful, and yields innovative results.

About High Bridge Borough
Progressive country living defines life in High Bridge Borough, which is strategically located midway between New York City and Philadelphia. This charming town shares its borders with Lebanon and Clinton Townships. Situated in northern Hunterdon County, the 2.4-square mile borough is known for its community spirit and involved citizens.
One example of that civic-minded philosophy is the "I'm For High Bridge" group of volunteers, an organization whose members help out at town activities like the Easter egg hunt, Flag Day parade, High Bridge Expo, summertime Fun Fest, fireman's carnivals, Halloween parade and visits with Santa Claus. Originally founded in 1978, the group also volunteers with townwide improvement projects and presents school awards to an eighth grade boy and girl who best demonstrate community service.
Scenery in High Bridge includes anglers trying their luck along the banks of the South Branch of the Raritan River, wide open spaces, rolling hillsides and a quaint Main Street shopping district. Incorporated as a township in 1871, the borough split from Clinton and Lebanon Townships to become independent in 1898. An abiding sense of history pervades High Bridge, which was named for the elevated bridge built by the Central Railroad of New Jersey spanning the river.Back to top
Community Life
High Bridge is a quintessential small town where annual events include a townwide garage sale in May, the annual Pooch Parade held in June, world class cyclists participating in the annual Tour of High Bridge each June, the High Bridge Open Air Farmer's Market with antique dealers and crafters taking place from June to Labor Day, Outdoor Movie Nights at Commons Park on Main Street on Friday nights in July, or an outdoor concert series on Saturdays in September. There is also a Community Day in September and even an old-fashioned soap box derby.
Nature lovers will appreciate local scenery like Ken Lockwood Gorge, the state's premier fly fishing stream. Other attractions are the Lake at Solitude, the Observatory at Voorhees State Park, and the seven-mile Columbia Trail, a sanctuary favored by birdwatchers. Cafés and fine dining establishments line Main Street and cater to every taste, whether you are seeking Mexican specialties at Casa Maya, pub fare at Mrs. Reilly's Publik House or a gourmet dining experience at Circa Restaurant.Back to top
A little-known fact about High Bridge's long history as an iron ore center is that the local Taylor Foundry cast cannonballs for the American Army during the Revolutionary War. The Taylor Manufacturing Company was established with the arrival of Robert Taylor who came to High Bridge in 1758 from Ireland and lived in a residence now called Solitude House. The Taylor family remained prominent citizens in the area, serving in the Mexican War and Civil War. General W. Taylor died in 1862 at the Battle of Manassas, while in charge of the First New Jersey Brigade. His descendant, Knox Taylor, was another prominent figure in New Jersey. He built the elegant Greystone manor on Nassau Road for his wife, Lucy Jane Miller, in 1907.
Knox Taylor graduated from Princeton in 1895 and his legacy still lives on at the University, where top academics are chosen to be a Knox Taylor Professor of Geosciences, a prestigious appointment in the Department of Geosciences. Knox Taylor played football, competed on the track team for the university and was an active alumna throughout his lifetime. He recalled his college days with such fondness that he named the road his home was sited upon Nassau Road, a nod to the university's oldest and most recognizable building, Nassau Hall. He worked for many years at Taylor Manufacturing Company.
Most of High Bridge's non-farming history centers on the iron foundry. In 1912, Taylor Iron Works merged with the William Wharton Jr. Co. of Philadelphia to become the Taylor-Wharton Iron and Steel Company. The firm built houses for their workers, and company executives constructed appealing Victorian homes in the immediate area and along Nassau Road. After celebrating its 210th anniversary in 1952, Taylor-Wharton was acquired by the Harsco Corporation. The High Bridge plant was finally closed in 1970.Back to top

Another Mac Trojan/Fake Codec
Sunbelt Software is reporting another fake codec/trojan horse program for the Mac. And it's for Windows too, but that's not news.
Reinforcing the belief that the same gangs that put out this malware for Windows have started creating Mac code bases is the fact that this site has both files in the same directory with the same file name structures. Like the previous malware report, this file is a .dmg file that must be explicitly installed.
The actual trojan attack is called Trojan.DNSChanger and it changes your DNS server to one controlled by the attackers, allowing them to spoof you into being attacked further.
A blog commenter on the Sunbelt post claims that the IP ranges for the attack sites and rogue DNS servers are well-defined. It might be reasonable to block them at the network perimeter.
See this blog for even more on the new wave of Mac trojan attacks from that same blog commenter.

For a daytime talk show about average people, "Steve Harvey" has had a noticeable number of far-from-average guests in its first two seasons.
President Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Mike Tyson and Honey Boo Boo have all made appearances on the Chicago-based show distributed by NBC Universal and hosted by comedian Steve Harvey. And while everyday people significantly outnumber celebrity guests on the show, it's surprising that the show has any bold names at all. Harvey gave the impression before the show premiered in September 2012 that he had no interest in booking celebrity guests.
"I want to talk to everyday people," Harvey told NBC's "Today" shortly before the talk show premiered. "Regular people are interesting and more relatable, and that's what I'm interested in."
Harvey insisted the show, now in its second season, hasn't wavered on its "mission statement." He made an appearance Dec. 5 at the Men's Journal Gear Lab Pop-Up Shop at 55 E Grand Ave. Harvey was named one of Men's Journal magazine's 2013 Chicago Men of the Year.
"My show is always going to be 95 percent average people," Harvey said. "That's the way I planned it. It's not going to be a celeb-driven show. But every now and then, we'll have some (celebrities) on. Average people are far more interesting and accessible.
"All celebs are going to do is, we come on TV, ask you to watch our movie or TV show or buy our book and we offer nothing else," Harvey said. "I got jokes when I'm a guest on your show, so I give you a little entertainment value. But for the most part, there isn't a lot of take-away."
The majority of the episodes revolve around subjects such as love, family and health, with experts joining Harvey to give advice. But often they aren't just any experts. Star Jones ("The View") discussed fashion for full-figured women while promoting her clothing line, WWE star David Otunga gave viewers tips on workouts you can do at home, Ali Larter ("Varsity Blues") shared easy-to-make recipes and boxer Laila Ali shared kid-friendly recipes.
One of the more popular themes on the show has been love connections. Harvey has helped a son set up his mom on a date, and helped a mom set up her daughter, but he's also played matchmaker for Hoda Kotb ("Today"), Porsha Stewart ("Real Housewives of Atlanta") and Countess LuAnn de Lesseps ("Real Housewives of New York City").
While talk shows have been known to book celebrity guests to improve low ratings, including Kathy Griffin's now-canceled Bravo show "Kathy," ratings don't seem to be an issue for "Steve Harvey." The show was renewed for two more seasons in June. Still, that doesn't mean the show is above booking stars who will bring in viewers. Case in point: Honey Boo Boo. When I told Harvey I was surprised the young reality TV star appeared on his show, he said I wasn't alone.
"You? You're not more surprised than me. That was the most surprising interview I've ever done. I don't know anybody like that," Harvey said. "I didn't know Honey Boo Boo was as popular as she was. We got a huge number on that show."

SAN JOSE — A vicious stabbing that rattled a calm South San Jose neighborhood grew more disturbing when prosecutors revealed the suspect blindsided and killed his stepfather on his parents' wedding anniversary.
It was the culmination of years of family turmoil and heartache that included prior police calls and jail stints for the suspect, who reportedly suffers from schizophrenia and had a breakdown on the evening of the slaying in the Almaden Valley, authorities said.
Daniel Hsiao, 22, of San Jose, was arraigned Wednesday on a murder charge in the Aug. 9 death of 55-year-old Ian Leighton at their home on Charter Oak Place, next to Leland High School. He did not enter a plea and remains in the Santa Clara County Jail where he is being held without bail.
A despondent Hsiao briefly appeared in a San Jose courthouse shackled at the waist and wrists and clad in a yellow jumpsuit. The only word he uttered was "Yes," when Judge Hector Ramon asked him if he chose to waive his right to a speedy trial.
Deputy District Attorney Dan Fehderau said the extent that Hsiao's mental-health issues factored into the killing is still being evaluated. At first glance, they aren't severe enough to avert a murder charge, he said.
"The significance, and what it means to the case, remains to be seen," Fehderau said.
Hsiao has been referred to the Santa Clara County Public Defender's Office for legal representation.
According to a police-written court document, Leighton and his wife, Hsiao's mother, celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary when they returned home in the evening and found that Hsiao was not there as expected and that an iPod was missing. They found him at a light-rail station at Chynoweth and Pearl avenues and threatened to call police if he did not go home with them.
On the ride back, Hsiao was reportedly agitated and hostile toward his stepfather. Once they got home, authorities say, Hsiao grabbed a kitchen knife and headed upstairs to Leighton's bedroom.
"He surprised him from behind," Fehderau said of Hsiao.
Moments later, his mother, who had been making her son something to eat, heard screaming and rushed to an upstairs hallway where she found her son on top of Leighton. She got between them and struggled with her son, making him go downstairs and into the kitchen while she called 911.
"The reporting party … called to report that Daniel Hsiao had gone crazy" and stabbed Ian Leighton, according to the police document.
Meanwhile, Leighton stumbled downstairs and collapsed in the front doorway. As his wife tended to her gravely injured husband — one witness recalled her saying, "Don't leave me, don't leave me" — Hsiao approached them.
His mother pushed her son to the ground and disarmed him, and he fled. Responding officers found him a few blocks north, covered in blood, and he surrendered. Leighton was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Hsiao's mother suffered a cut on her finger during her scuffle with her son.
In the aftermath of the stabbing, residents from their current and former neighborhoods recalled police officers responding to their home, where Hsiao lived with them intermittently. Police said that the defendant had been living at the Charter Oak Place since November and that he had been in and out of jail.
Fehderau sympathized with the parents' plight, saying they helped Hsiao deal with his schizophrenia, which was treated with medication and medical expertise.
Hsiao is scheduled to return to court Sept. 17.

Father, Two Sons Make Most of Glee Club Reunionby Gary James '10 • October 1, 2007 Share:
This year's glee club reunion did not only help former classmates to make connections but different generations of family members as well.
Clay, Campbell, and Luke Robbins are all Glee Club Wallies. Clay is a member of the class of 1979. The baritone was very proud to have son Campbell, Class of 2009, in attendance at the reunion. Although Luke, Class of 2011, was away for the weekend at a tennis tournament, the line of tradition was not broken.
"I think [the reunion] is a great idea," Campbell Robbins said. "I remember [several] years ago when they had the last one and how excited my dad was and my dad's friends as well. It's really good to participate in it. It's a very important weekend. It means a lot to have my father and my brother and I all involved in this tradition. He didn't do anything to pressure us. It's a good tradition, and hopefully we'll keep it up. "
"I feel very good about my sons being involved with glee club here," Clay Robbins said. "I had such a nice time at school with this. I'm pleased that they have the same opportunity. They've got a great conductor in Richard Bowen. The glee club's sounding better than I've ever heard it. And the fact that my boys have a chance to be in that is a real privilege. It does make me proud.
"I told the boys one of the reasons I like the glee club so much is because when you're in the glee club you get to participate in the life of the college in a way no other group does because you get to perform these events to commemorate the life of the college. Not only are you singing but you're getting to participate in those events. And I think it gives a richer college experience as a result."
Even though Luke couldn't participate, he too understands the Glee club plays an integral part of life at Wabash. "It is really cool for me to have this to share with my father and my brother," Luke said. "Growing up, they were the two people I looked up to the most, so being able to do something as important as being a member of the Glee Club just like they is a truly wonderful experience for me. Plus, Dr. and Mrs. Bowen are so cool!"

Personal history a challenge for non-traditional student
April 29, 2013
PLAINVIEW – It's not very often an undergraduate is published in a professional, peer-reviewed
journal. Then again, it's not very often you run across an undergraduate like Rachel
Laue (pronounced Law).
This fall, Laue's paper "Fighting the Cold War at a Baptist College: Anti-communism in the Wayland Baptist College Trailblazer," will be published in the West Texas Review, the journal for the West Texas Historical Association that is based at Texas Tech University.
"It's not often that an undergraduate can even get a paper considered for publication, much less published," Laue said.
The history major from Great Falls, Mont., wrote the paper for her historical methods class, looking at anti-communist sentiment in the college newspaper during the cold war. At that time, college campuses were typically more politically involved than they are today. As a result, Laue found no shortage of opinions being published in the Trailblazer, Wayland's student newspaper.
"They were probably more opinionated than a newspaper staff should be," Laue said. "There were some pretty considerable biases in their articles."
While Laue found looking at the history of Wayland fascinating, it was her own history that almost kept her from attending college. By every definition of the word, Laue is a non-traditional student, although you wouldn't know it unless she told you.
"I didn't go to college at age 18 like everyone else," she said. "I was 22 when I came here. It hasn't really been awkward for me because I blend in. I look young."
Being the first member of her immediate family to attend college, Laue was on her own to find the right fit. It was only in a last-ditch Internet search that she found a school that was affordable and offered everything she was looking for in a university.
Born in Missouri, Laue spent her childhood moving back and forth between Missouri and Montana, on nearly a yearly basis. The second of four children, Laue said the constant movement and being home-schooled made it hard to make friends.
"There were a lot of places we lived where I didn't know anyone. We didn't go to school, so we didn't meet people. A lot of places we lived, I only knew my family. That was it," she said.
Laue explained that her family moved so much partly to look for work and partly because "they were just restless souls." She said her family was poor and everyone had to work to make ends meet. That meant she had to stay at home and help raise her younger brother and sister.
"I was my siblings caretaker for about nine years, until they were old enough be left alone," she said.
At the age of 22 Laue finally had a chance to do something she wanted to do – go to college. She began looking in the south – to find a warmer climate, she said – for a faith-based college.
"I decided I would like to go to a Christian college. I didn't want to deal with having a drunken roommate at 4 o'clock in the morning. Which may or may not happen. …," she grinned.
Being raised a Baptist, she was looking for Baptist schools first, but the expense of private education was keeping her from finding a suitable school.
"Private institutions are usually really pricey," Laue said. "I had almost given up and finally, just one last Google search and Wayland came up. I hadn't seen it in any other search I had done. I think I just put in Baptist Colleges and there it was."
The next fall, Laue started college as a 22-year-old freshman. She found enough funding to pay for school and chose to live in the dorm with the younger students.
"There were still people around my age," she said. "I was 22 and 23 and there were still a lot of seniors and older students around. My junior year was the first one where I thought, 'they are so young.' There started to be a significant gap."
Laue's junior year was also the year she fell victim to a mysterious illness that ended up forcing her to stay home for the entire spring 2012 semester. The onset of the illness, the main symptom of which was extreme exhaustion, was in the fall of 2011 when she missed an entire month of classes.
"I got really sick. They couldn't figure out what was wrong," Laue said. "I did kind of rally enough to finish the semester, but when I went home, the doctor said I couldn't come back to school."
Laue returned in the fall of 2012, but still feels the effects of the illness.
"I wasn't sure I was going to be able to stay because I felt so bad," she said. "I have been doing better this semester. I'm not sure what the difference is. I'm a medical anomaly, apparently."
Laue picked up where she had left off the previous year. She serves as a President's Ambassador, an elite group of students hand-picked to represent the Office of the President and the Offices of Advancement at various functions on and off campus. She also has been named to several academic honor societies and was selected this fall to represent the School of Behavioral and Social Sciences as its research champion.
Laue plans to graduate in December and then continue her education in graduate school
studying history and archeology. She has a heart for missions and hopes to one day
visit the "deepest, darkest jungles of Africa." An historian by choice, Laue is a
writer by nature. She has always been interested in journalism and considered majoring
in it before deciding to focus on history. A member of the Sigma Tau Delta literary
honor society, Laue pursues creative writing as a hobby. Just don't ask her about
her poetry.
"I don't do poetry. My poetry is really bad," she said. "April is a poem-a-day month. I've been trying to do that and it is horrible."
Still, she is currently writing a western, a fantasy story and a "Bridgett Jones" type novel about being a single girl. … And she says she didn't inherit her parents "restlessness."
"Maybe I'm a little free-spirited," Laue laughed. "It just manifests itself a little differently."

SOUTH EASTON, Mass., July 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) ("PBI" or the "Company") today announced that it has reached agreement with seventeen investors on an initial tranche of approximately $600,000 of a $1.2 million private placement. The transaction consists of the sale of approximately 120,000 units of a newly designated series of preferred stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock ("Series G"). The investors in the initial tranche include all members of the Company's new Board of Directors, all officers of the Company, all members of the prior Board of Directors, and several existing accredited investors in PBI.
The price per unit is $5.00. Each unit consists of one share of Series G Preferred Stock (convertible into ten shares of Common Stock at a Common Stock equivalent price of $0.50 per share) and a Warrant to purchase five shares of restricted Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of three years, at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. Of the approximate $600,000 initial tranche, $485,000 was received in cash and $115,000 will be from the conversion of debt.
The initial tranche is expected to close by July 6, 2012. One or more additional tranches in the private placement are expected to close on or before August 31, 2012. Funds raised in the offering will be used primarily to support the Company's pressure cycling technology ("PCT") product line commercialization program, which the Company believes has been gaining momentum as the year has progressed. Funds will also be used for general working capital purposes.
The Company also announced a reduction in the size of the Board of Directors from eight to five, and accepted the resignations of Dr. Calvin Saravis, Mr. Donald Payne, Mr. Alan Rosenson, Mr. Alan Goldberg, and Mr. Gregory Freitag. Life sciences veteran Mr. Vito Mangiardi and Wall Street veteran Mr. Kevin Pollack were appointed to the Board to fill the open seats. The Company believes that a smaller Board, comprised of seasoned veterans from Wall Street and the life sciences field, will offer significant value to the Company's commercialization program and its efforts to secure additional capital.
Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI, said: "First I want to offer my appreciation to Cal, Don, Alan, Alan, and Greg for their years of service to our Company. Their counsel and support has been very helpful as we developed our powerful PCT Platform and readied it for aggressive commercialization. Second, I want to commend their unselfish action in stepping aside at this important time, to allow the Company to reduce its Board size to a more reasonable and manageable number. This has allowed the Company the opportunity to appoint two new Board members of the caliber of Vito and Kevin, whose experience and expertise will be invaluable to us as we begin to accelerate and expand the commercialization of our enabling PCT Product Platform, and as we continue to work to secure the capital we need for sustained growth and future profitability."
