I got this color many months ago on a whim because I thought it was such a strange but pretty color. I used it for my flapper costume on halloween for the first time. This color is so glamorous, but, for me, its super dark for everyday wear. To make it more wearable, I put a little on my finger and dab it on my lips, and it gives them such a gorgeous stain! The formula is super creamy, and the color stays on pretty well. I can see why some people would be bothered by the scent (it has a confusing smell; not sure if its supposed to be sweet or powdery?), but I could care less about scents; the only thing I'm worried about it color pay off, and this has it!
I don't know if they discontinued this shade or not, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere :( If so, I think it is going to be difficult to find a sufficient dupe...

Beautiful, eggplant, vampy lip!
If you are into vampy, deep purple lips and want something cheap but pigmented, this is the lippie for you. 04 is a very pigmented eggplant purple. With two swipes you'll have reached maximum opacity but it can easily be sheered out to a lovely purple lip stain for the faint of heart. If you're a little wary of oxblood/dark lips or any lipstick shades for that matter, sheering it out and wearing it like a lipstain is a great way to wade into something different. (Just pat on in thin layers and blot as you go). This lippie is creamy with a nice satin shine. The bullet has a very faint smell of vanilla which is undetectable when worn. Dupe wise, this shade is very similar to Wet n Wild's Mega Last lipstick in Vamp it Up. If you can't find Vamp it Up and are desperate for that gothy lip, this would make a great alternative and for only a few bucks more. This shade looks great over a dark purple lip-liner for extra precision and color pay-off and over black eyeliner as lip liner you can really deepen the shade. The packaging is wicked cute, and I love Rimmel London- and now I want to try more of these Kate Moss endorsed lippies! This is an all around sound lippie and even if you would only wear this for special occasions, or Halloween, its worth having as a staple shade in your lipstick arsenal!

Great colour, I found it really tough to find a decent purple lipstick. It is very dark, but I think if you're going to wear a purple lipstick it needs to be dark. Glides on easily and stays on well. For it's price, it's a great quality. Also makes your teeth look whiter.

Dont normally go for dark lipsticks, but I thought I would just jump on the 'Autumn Lips' bandwagon. This colour is gorgeous, a deep purple which applies very pigmented. The formula is VERY creamy and glides on like butter. I find that I need to be a little careful with it since it does tend to slip just a little bit. Lovely purchase overall!

This is a great lipstick, considering it is difficult finding such eccentric colours like this one in drugstores, I'm pretty impressed. The pigmentation of this won me over, however the slightly glossy finish of this does throw me off sometimes,I do prefer a matte finish but for the price I'm really not complaining. I was thinking of getting MAC Cyber or Smoked Purple but I think that saga shall come to rest as I now have this.

Definitely a good budget choice for purple lips. Although I wish the Kate Moss lipsticks came with names, I certainly can't argue with the quality. The actual product smells like a mix of artificial grape and vanilla, but don't let that deter you as it doesn't linger upon application. The shade is full on opaque after two passes, and it feels comfortable to wear. I would describe the finish as a semi-matte, it is pretty close but there is a little bit of sheen to it. The color is actually a somewhat warm, deep purple, though the warmth to it is minute. Overall, it is a nice lipstick, budget friendly while still retaining a good dosage of quality. If you were displeased with Revlon's Va Va Violet, this a wonderful substitute that is in the same price range and in the drug store.

After searching forever for a deep purple lipstick (I was initially going to get Revlon's Va Va Violet, but after reading negative reviews about the pigmentation, I decided against it), I picked this guy up. I honestly don't mind the waxyness, I feel like that was necessary for the good pigmentation this offers. It lasts a long time, and I don't find it particularly drying, I just put some balm underneath. The reason I knocked a lippie off was because it smells strange to me. It's like it was supposed to be fruity, but it smells kind of like grape cough syrup or something. It just makes me feel a bit sick until the smell wears off. Other than that though, good stuff!

This was the shade that after seeing, I turned my head and never thought of it again until watching a " Lipstick Collection" video on YouTube by a girl named SuperBeautyNerd. So thanks to her, I have seen the beauty of this product! (She also creates a gothic look with this which is amazing.)
This is a very dark and waxy lipstick. It has a unique, dark purple shade with a very nice matte finish BUT because it is so matte & waxy you have to prepare your lips with a lip balm..
I am not a Gothic-look fan. I am a Mediterranean complexion girl with a golden-brown hair and classic smart-casual style. I love wearing black but I am usually into more red or natural-red shades than such a crazy color.
I apply this lipstick quite lightly and I get a beautiful dark plum shade that (I don't know how!?) compliments my yellow-undertone skin. It defines my lips, makes them look fuller and kinda vaimpire-like but I LOVE it. BTW, may I tell you that these Rimmel lipsticks smell amazing!? I purchased a back-up already. I just love this..

I really like this color. I gave up wearing lipstick years ago, because I have small lips. I was intrigued by this color because they used to make it in a lipgloss (2003). I was not disappointed. I'm vIery fair, but it doesn't wash me out. I applied this color after lip primer, liner, & with a lip brush to control the application of it. Dabbing a little white lip gloss in the center or your pout with this, makes your pout pop. This is a great neutral plum for fall.

I recently had a little rimmel haul, I bought some of the other Kate colors and this one is actually very nice. The only real complaint I have is that it can be uncomfortable after using it all day because the formula is so thick and waxy, a solution for that is using lipliner and dabbing it a bit throughout the day. The pigmentation is great, most lipsticks for this price will not give you such rich color. It is a color that is mostly for cool tone skin types and darker skin, on fair or light skin it can make you look pale or washed out. It also depends on your haircolor, I would use this on darker haircolors as well. The packaging is actually really cute, it was the first thing I noticed, it looks very high end and expensive. Overall it is a very good on the go lipstick which is the reason I wanted to purchase it.

District 21 to Enforce Speeding, DUI, Seatbelt, and Distracted Driver Violations from Friday to Monday
ASHKUM, IL – Illinois State Police (ISP) officials statewide are reminding motorists to make safety their number one priority while driving during the Labor Day holiday weekend. The Labor Day weekend is one the busiest driving periods for motorists and thousands of drivers are expected to hit the roadways and interstates nationwide.
Law Enforcement officials will push for ZERO fatalities by enforcing the four most common traffic violations: Speeding; DUI; seat belts; and distracted driving. Troopers will saturate the expressways and roadways looking for violators. Troopers will also be on heightened alert monitoring intelligence from the Statewide Terrorism Intelligence Center (STIC) for any suspicious activity, vehicles, special alerts, and criminal activity crossing state lines. District 21 Captain Bridget Bertrand stated "We are asking motorist to enjoy the holiday weekend by driving in a responsible manner. Please use a designated driver when appropriate, avoid distractions while you are driving and always remember to buckle up."
In addition to enforcement messages and public safety awareness campaigns, districts statewide are also working with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to ensure that highways are safe and clear of road distractions that can impede or impact safe driving and roadway safety.
Law enforcement officials added that roadside safety checks have already been deployed leading up to the holiday weekend, and these patrols will continue throughout the holiday weekend. Troopers will also be equipped with radar and LIDAR devices to monitor motorists exceeding the legal speed limits.
Last year, the Illinois State Police issued 2,651 tickets for speeding violations during the holiday period from Friday through Monday. During the same time period, there were 91 DUI arrests; 625 seatbelt violations; and 45 distracted driver violations.
"Drivers who choose to violate the law and place other motorists and first responders in harm's way face fines and possible jail time," said ISP Director Hiram Grau. "Our Troopers will have zero tolerance when it comes to reckless and irresponsible driving behavior," he stressed.
Since 2007, ISP Troopers have been enforcing the Fatal 4 mission and have been striving to reduce the number of fatalities every year.

A tractor trailer jackknifed on westbound Interstate 70 Sunday morning rupturing fuel tanks that spilled diesel across the road and closed the Interstate near Vail in both directions for more than two hours.
While traffic is now moving in eastbound lanes between mile markers 168 and 171, the stretch remains closed as clean up continues on west bound lanes, said Colorado Department of Transportation spokeswoman Nancy Shanks.
The agency estimates that the road could reopen by 9:30 a.m.
No one was injured and east bound lanes reopened at about 8:15 a.m.
"It looks a lot worse than it actually is," said Colorado State Patrol Trooper Josh Lewis.

Just look at "Olga's" expressive dark eyes - and you will understand why I am in love with these vilified creatures.
I heard that one Tiger Beach dive operator, Jim Abernethy, has not seen some of the resident tigers anymore. I am worried and fear the worst: 'Recreational' fishermen who are going after the tigers of Tiger Beach.
Should that prove to be correct, then war will be declared to what to me are wreckless poachers and senseless killers.
You, "Olga" - may you live to the tiger shark equivalent of 120 human years!!!!


text: I just did a fresh install of ISPConfig on CentOS 6.3, following the howtoforge guide exactly. The only issue I had was that mailman wasn't recognized during the installation. Oh well I guess. I have a dedicated website that I've just setup and while browing the site, randomly the page will just load and load until eventually the browser returns the "Cannot connect" message. Once this happens, every site on the server returns the same message when trying to connect, including the ISPConfig panel (I have 3 sites setup). I checked the /var/httpd/error_log immediately after this happened and saw this: After searching about the mod_python errors with ISPConfig 3, I decided to just disabled mod_python, since I'm not using python anyway for any sites. I also disabled mailman at this time since it never was installed into ISPConfig 3. I then restarted the server and the log was much nicer: The web server seemed to be behaving better... seemed.. about 10 minutes later the server hung again. There is no error is the error_log. Even restarting apache when this happens has no effect. I must wait several minutes (I've not timed it exactly but I'm estimating about 5). After this time, the server starts to respond again. This keeps happening randomly at least once every 5-10 minutes after coming back up. I'm not sure what to do? There is no error in the apache log and this is a fresh install, only doing exactly what the howto guide for centos 6.2 said. Can anyone help?

Hey guys i've just got myself windows 7 64bit, which doesnt like my Pandora PX5d- so i decided to get myself a sound card and use the pandora just for practise instead of as a usb audio interface.
So is there anyone out there using windows 7 for recording? If so what card are you using (im looking for a pci card as opposed to usb) i was thinking about the emu 0404.
The microsoft website says that it is compatible for windows 7 64bit but i cant find andy details on the emu website that supports that claim

Hey guys-
here's a question for the Pandora PX5D users (or anybody in the know about this), i usually record my guitar using the amp sims and effects on the pandora straight into my DAW but lately I've been trying out some plugins that id rather use for getting my sound-.
I know i can bypass the PX5D's amp sims and effects by holding the bypass button and monitoring through my DAW using whichever VST plugin for amp sounds- but im connected through USB and there is waaaay too much latency using this method.
So i was wondering is there a way i can monitor my playing through my PX5D using the onboard sounds whilst sending a dry signal to my DAW which i can then use whichever pulgins i like after recording?
There's always the option of just monitoring the dry, bypassed signal from the pandora, but its hard to feel the music for some cool rock solo with just the "twang" of an unprocessed signal hehe

Two of my flatmates at uni (both drama students) have asked me to play lead guitar for a band for their musical this May- they caught me off guard, i was tired....hadn't even showered yet.....i might have said yes
Apparently this is the kind of thing i'll be expected to play (thats a clip from the show they will be performing), not terrible music and nothing challenging technically but for years i've really really disliked musicals haha......so will this be my biggest challenge yet?
...i'm thinking yes
However it goes i hope i can have a bit of fun with it, it should be a "different" experience- and maybe learn to like songs from musicals

Okay guys- i can hardly move from my bed and have had the flu for the best part of a week now and it keeps getting worse...(this is the second time i've had it since i started uni a month ago if you'll believe)
I can't play guitar- it just feels like a burden- but my brother said he'd pick up a movie for me from the store - thing is i really don't know what to ask him to get for me.
Can you guys recommend a hilarious movie to raise the spirits a little?
Much appreciated

...Before i move house.
(Who says these threads aren't funny anymore )
In just over an hour I'll be driving up to university and my new home - Its a 3 hour drive from here (nice to get some distance for once hehe) and it's right by the sea- a really lovely place
I'm real exited about it - can hardly sit still. The best part about it i guess will be the extended periods of guitar practise- that would usually be broken up by nagging parents making me do chores etc.
And ofcourse- i'll have internet connection so i'll still be frequenting GMC. (Phewww)
SO, everything else is packed- time to pack my PC, see you later guys!

Port Corpus Christi Authority (PCCA) applied to ICE Futures U.S., Inc. to have it modify Rule 10.12 to add Corpus Christi, Texas as a designated delivery point for the Cotton No. 2 Future Contracts. The Port Corpus Christi Commission Agriculture Committee submitted the application based on the identification of the following needs:
• The ICE cotton futures contract's delivery points were set in the 1920's and need modernization.
• Ownership of licensed warehouse capacity at the current delivery points under the contract is highly concentrated.
• Merchants and producers in the Southwest face major obstacles to delivering under the current contract, both because the designated delivery points are out of the flow of local export-oriented commerce and because the concentrated ownership of the warehouse capacity does not provide ready access to warehouse space.
• During March 2008, the contract's dependence on a few merchants to provide sufficient liquidity to ensure cash-future price convergence broke down.
• Since March 2008, the basis on merchant-to-producer forward contracts that reference ICE cotton futures prices has widened considerably. These conditions have sustainably reduced the utility of the ICE cotton futures contract for hedging purposes.
• Adding appropriate delivery points would help address the problems of over-concentration of warehouse control, inadequate liquidity, and reduced hedging utility.
PCCA Commission Agriculture Committee explained why Corpus Christi location and modern export–oriented infrastructure and commercial flows will be an excellent addition as a new delivery point. Corpus Christi (CC) offers a combination of attributes that no other potential new delivery point can match:
• CC is a transit point for a substantial amount of high quality South Texas cotton production.
• CC has substantial warehouse capacity already in place. Every year, around 500,000 bales of cotton goes towards export markets.
• CC will help ICE cotton future contract's problem with over-concentration.
• Because the majority of the cotton stored in CC warehouses head towards export markets, local pricing is delivered from world cotton prices. Therefore adding CC as a delivery point will help generate a futures price under the contract that is representative of the cotton prices in general.
• CC offers multiple transportation modes, including port and rail facilities from which cotton can be exported.
• Port Corpus Christi is undergoing substantial development that will make the port capable of handling the new larger ships that will go through the Panama Canal after its expansion is completed in 2015. CC therefore will likely become an even more attractive transit path for Far East cotton exports in the future
The Port Corpus Christi Commission Agriculture Committee is comprised of seven members: Francis Gandy, Commissioner, John LaRue, Executive Director, David Fields, Gulf Compress, Craig Shook, John Barrett, and Jimmy Dodson, cotton producers and Jerry Cotter, Port Corpus Christi.
The primary economic engine of the Coastal Bend, Port Corpus Christi is one of the 10 largest ports in the United States in total tonnage. The Port's mission statement is to "serve as a regional economic development catalyst while protecting and enhancing its existing industrial base and simultaneously working to diversify its international maritime cargo business." Strategically located on the western Gulf of Mexico, with a straight, 45' deep channel, the Port provides quick access to the Gulf and the entire United States inland waterway system. The Port delivers outstanding access to overland transportation with on-site and direct connections to three Class-1 railroads and uncongested interstate and state highways. The Port is protected by a state-of-the-art security department and an award-winning Environmental Management System. With outstanding management and operations staff, Port Corpus Christi is clearly "More Than You Can Sea."

Pentagon Poised To Give Gay Military Members Time Off To Marry--And Full Benefits!
Gay and lesbian military servicemembers and their spouses could be receiving their full military benefits by the end of the month--and they'll be giving gay couples time off to go get legally hitched!
The Pentagon is poised to extend health care, housing and other benefits to the same-sex spouses of military members by the end of August, but may reverse earlier plans to provide benefits to gay partners who are not married.
According to a draft Defense Department memo obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, the department instead may provide up to 10 days of leave to military personnel in same-sex relationships so they can travel to states where they can marry legally.
While no final decisions have been made, the memo from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to top defense leaders would reverse an earlier plan that would allow the same-sex partners of military members to sign a declaration form in order to receive limited benefits, such as access to military stores and some health and welfare programs.
The recent Supreme Court decision extending federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples eliminates the need for such a plan, Hagel said in the draft.
"As the Supreme Court's ruling has made it possible for same-sex couples to marry and be afforded all benefits available to any military spouse and family, I have determined, consistent with the unanimous advice of the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that the spousal and family benefits far outweigh the benefits that could be extended under a declaration system," Hagel wrote.
According to a U.S. official, the memo is under legal review by the Justice Department, and the Pentagon will not be able to take any action until that review is finished. The official was not authorized to discuss the memo publicly, so spoke on condition of anonymity.
Good stuff! Let's get these proposed changes approved fast!
If any gay and lesbian servicemembers need a destination to get legally married, California's nice year-round!
Just saying!

Two women wearing hot dog hats caught the lens of the Fox Sports San Diego camera during the fifth inning of the Yasiel Puig Show and why not? Ladies wearing
phalluses Dodger Dogs on their heads at a baseball game is as American as apple pie.
Mark Grant—perhaps excited about the hot dog heads, perhaps wistful for his old playing days—noted that he "crushed two of those last night after the game." To which Enberg deadpanned, "That's right—oh, the hot dogs. Yeah, you crushed those."
"Ketchup, mustard, onions. Mm!"
That is exactly how those 30 seconds played out.

Resident celebrates 102nd birthday
Amid festive balloons, and strawberries and ice cream, longtime Lompoc resident Enrique "Henry" Molina celebrated his 102nd birthday at Lompoc Valley Medical Center's Comprehensive Care Center, where he has lived since 2003.
Molina was joined by nieces Elisa Kuster and Connie Berroteran, great-niece Michele Heter and kind family friend Sara Rodriguez. The centenarian's baby brother, 89-year-old Isaias Rios, was in Marian Extended Care and unable to join the party, but sent Molina's favorite pan dulce — the Mexican sweet rolls he loves. Isaias says he wants to reach 100 years, as his brother has, according to family members.

Managing Weather and Marketing Risk in 2013Tweet
USDA last Friday issued a wealth of information in its reports on the final estimate of the 2012 crops, the grain stocks we have on hand, how it is being used, and what will be left when the 2013 crop is ready for harvest. But developing a marketing plan for that, in the face of uncertain weather will be a challenge. What are those weather facts that will be so critical?
The major headline from the USDA's Supply and Demand Report was that corn was being fed to livestock at a great rate than the market anticipated. Another bullet point was that corn exports will fall below one billion bushels for the first time since the 1970's, compared two and a half billion bushels just a few years ago. But corn carryout at the end of August will be as low as it can get.
USDA projects season average prices for corn as $6.80 to $8.00, and $13.50 to $15 for soybeans. We are in the low end of that range now after spending most of the marketing year so far in the upper end.
Much of the consensus among those watching the grain market is that the 2012 crop corn and soybeans will have a very tight and volatile cash market with some spot shortages and a strong basis.
As the South American crop gets closer to harvest, November 2013 crop prices will continue to fade with the potential for lower prices than last year when the crop insurance guarantee is established in February. While beans will be in demand, overall prices will be lower.
Weather risk
As many farmers revise their marketing plan for both the old and new crops, weather will be a critical aspect for the 2013 growing season.
Currently the El Nino-La Nina climate forces are locked in neutral. (Note the black line with the black squares and the last one firmly planted at zero.) Neither one has any advantage over the other; and it has been that way for four consecutive months. The authority on that for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says it is as solidly neutral as it has ever been and it will be a few months before there will be a return to either El Nino or a La Nina.
But what is neutral weather. That is what we had after La Nina phased itself out last May and there were no significant weather fronts that moved across the country to release energy and moisture from the atmosphere. So our weather transmission is in neutral for the foreseeable future.
Drought Monitor map of July 31, 2012
When the US Cornbelt was in the height of the drought at the end of July, El Nino teased us late in the summer and fall, and then departed.
Drought Monitor Map from January 1, 2013
However, it provided needed moisture for the eastern half of the Cornbelt from Ohio to Illinois. From Illinois on west, the conditions have worsened.
The drought continues according to USDA meteorologist Brad Rippey with 61% of the US in a drought category, down from the 65% in September. But he says the region experiencing the worst drought category has expanded to 6.75% of the US, as reflected by the latest issue of the University of Nebraska Drought Monitor.
Currently, drought encompasses over 2/3 of the US cattle inventory and 60% of domestic hay acreage. The wheat crop is rated poor to very poor for 61% of OK, 49% of NE, and 31% of KS. Rippey says the Palmer Drought Index in July was 62.1%, second only to the 79.9% in the July 1934 Dust Bowl era.
The challenge for farmers will be how weather and marketing risk is managed. The spring guarantees for crop insurance will be set during the month of February, and crop insurance sign-up is from March 1 to March 15, if you are a first timer, or are changing your arrangements.
While USDA reported that grain stocks will be tight, global demand is being re-focused from the US to South American supplies and US exports are expected to soon diminish in their volume. However, the 2013 crop will soon be planted, and prices could be substantially lower than the 2012 crop with larger production anticipated. Weather risk will have to be managed and Eastern Cornbelt farmers have had more moisture than those to the west. Crop insurance remains an option for all, and the sign-up deadline is March 15 for spring planted row crops.

Gobble a fast-food fish sandwich, snack on fish sticks, or savor a fancy white-tablecloth seafood dinner and chances are you're sampling the fruits of what experts say are the nation's best-managed commercial fishing grounds. While fisheries are collapsing around the world, stocks are strong in the waters off Alaska, source of half the seafood commercially harvested in the nation. Pollock, halibut, Pacific cod, and sablefish taken from these northern waters bear the Marine Stewardship Council's seal of approval lauding the cautious oversight of federal fisheries managers. So do the harvests of Alaska's five species of salmon, which are caught in state waters and managed under a separate state system; they were the first to be classified by the international watchdog group as "sustainable."
Those who manage fisheries in Alaska's federal waters – the Anchorage-based North Pacific Fishery Management Council and associated federal agencies – are generally credited by outsiders for doing a good job. "We have a lot of respect for them," says George Geiger, chairman of the Florida-based South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, who was visiting his Alaska counterparts at work at a week-long meeting in Kodiak earlier this month.
Fishery management in the federal waters off Alaska is considered the standard for the rest of the nation; federal legislation enacted in 2007 requires managers in other regions to adopt some of the resource-protection practices long used here. It may also hold lessons for fisheries worldwide.
But to hear some tell it, Alaska's legendary fisheries are on the brink of disaster – a socioeconomic crisis if not a biological collapse. The spread of "rationalization" in the federally run fisheries – marketable harvest quotas for finite amounts of fish – has made the business more efficient, predictable, orderly, and manageable. It may even help lift impoverished Native communities. But it has also created instant fortunes for some and left many longtime and would-be fishermen on the docks.
Since the mid-1990s, managers have imposed various transferable quota systems on those who fish commercially in federal waters, replacing the old open-access "anyone can fish" system with one that inevitably limits participation to professional and corporate interests flush with capital.
That is not an overly dramatic shift for the Bering Sea, source of most of the seafood harvested in Alaska, because commercial fisheries are relatively new there and have been industrial and corporate-dominated from the start.
But the gradual fencing, in effect, of the Alaska high-seas frontier is a bitter pill in a hard-core fishing town like Kodiak, where the locals are old-school, independent mariners who take relatively small volumes of various species to patch together year-round employment.
In Kodiak, fishing and fish permeate life, fueling both the human economy and the legendary brown bears that roam the lush, mountainous island. The names of boats docked at the sprawling harbor – Hail Mary, Dues Payer II, Spicy Lady – hint at an on-the-edge lifestyle. Even the clergy from the local Russian Orthodox seminary sport fishing boots under their flowing black robes. And "ratz," as rationalization is known here, has become a dirty word among those who say Kodiak is losing out as quota systems spread.
"It's just a way of people getting hold of the resource. It's all about greed," says Rhonda Maker, a Kodiak store owner who says she was pushed out of fishing because she was too small a player to win significant quota shares. Now her new career as a retailer is being undermined, she says, by fewer cash-flush fishermen coming to her two stores here.
The latest controversy involves a new crab system imposed on the Bering Sea in 2005. It shrank the harvest fleet from some 250 boats to about 85 and eliminated some 800 to 900 jobs. While the complicated system gave quota shares to boat owners, skippers, and processors, it left out crewmen. It had a strong effect here, where many locals would sail off to the Bering Sea crab grounds for an important part of their yearly income.
In Kodiak, that first full year of crab rationalization cut the number of local boats participating in the fishery in half and the community lost $1 million to $1.6 million in revenue, according to a study by University of Alaska Anchorage economist Gunnar Knapp.
Particularly galling to some here is the idea of fishing for somebody else, toiling on the cold sea while the quota owner takes a cut of the profits while ashore.
"It's the American way, but it's just not fair. It's fishing. It's not a typical business," says Kavik Anderson, preparing his boat. He shouts over the noise of a pressure washer cleaning off a nearby boat at the dock. "The processors got stuff. The owners got stuff, and the crew members didn't get anything. It's just not fair."
Fisherman Stosh Anderson, Kavik's father and a former North Pacific council member, dislikes some of the social outcomes of the new management systems. "If you weren't born with a silver fishhook in your mouth or your family's not in the industry, it's going to be very tough for you to get into the industry," he says, as he and his crew prepared his newly rebuilt boat for salmon.
What to many in Kodiak is disenfranchisement is to economists a reasonable and inevitable evolution that brings order to the resource-imperiling and unsafe chaos in the ocean "commons."
"In general, with the right set of rules and the right design – which is always a big 'if' – going to a rights-based fishery is going to improve the value of the fishery," says Jim Murphy, an economist and visiting professor at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Of the four rationalization goals – conservation, enhanced value, reduced costs, and social fairness – the Alaska schemes, overall, "have done well in all but one," Professor Knapp says. The designation of winners and losers makes fairness elusive, he says. "If there was ever a situation where the devil was in the details, this would be it," he says.
For some in Kodiak, the changes have been good, even for crab.
"I think the council's done a good job with the crew," said Jeff Steele, a local fishing captain, in testimony to the council's advisory panel. "I think they should be up here thanking you for better jobs, and better pay, and safer conditions...."
Before the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 established the 200-mile US exclusive economic zone off the nation's shores, Alaska's remote high seas were wild and free – and fished by whoever could get to them. By the 1990s, quota systems were being drawn up for pollock, halibut, and other species.
Around Alaska, the halibut system that went into effect in 1996 gets general high marks. By that time, there were so many fishermen targeting halibut in the open-access system that the seasons were reduced to two 24-hour fishing "derbies" a year, events that become notorious for shoving vast amounts of low-quality fish onto the market all at once, and for the sometimes life-threatening risks that fishermen took to get their catches.
Now halibut harvests are spread out over several months, putting more valuable fresh fish on the market instead of having almost all of it sold frozen. With quota holders knowing how much fish they can land, fishermen can take their time and work carefully and safely.
Also lauded is a community-development quota system that allocates a small portion of the huge Bering Sea catches to once-impoverished native villages along Alaska's west coast. Though relatively small, their quota shares can be powerful local economic engines. The villagers' success shows that quotas, instead of making the rich richer, "can be a device to make the poor richer," Knapp says.
Some alternate allocation ideas have been floated in academic and political circles. One would make quota shares temporary and subject to expiration after a number of years. Another would establish quotas linked to specific geographic spots rather than a particular species, to encourage more holistic, multispecies management.
The North Pacific Fishery Council has always respected the advice of its Scientific and Statistical Committee, never exceeding the total catch limits recommended by that panel of wonky biologists and technicians. Bycatch is taken seriously, too, with punishment meted out when too many fish of nontargeted species are netted in the harvest. Vast areas have been put off limits to protect habitat for fish,
Endangered Species Act-listed mammals, and newly mapped coral gardens. (See related story: "Alaska's coral gardens: Scientists race to save unexplored wonders.) The council is trying an ecosystem-based management approach for the Aleutian Islands to avoid damaging natural resources about which much is yet unknown
The council is also moving to formally block off Alaska's Arctic waters to commercial fishing before a warming climate and vanishing sea ice draws fish stocks northward. Too little is known about the changing Chukchi and Beaufort seas to allow commercial fleets to rush in, officials say. "Here, we've kind of inverted the burden of proof," says Denby Lloyd, commissioner of the Alaska Department ofFish and Game and a member of the North Pacific council.
Still, there are holes in the protections.
Last year's high-seas pollock harvest netted as bycatch a record number of river-bound chinook salmon, raising alarms in small salmon-dependent villages. At the Kodiak meeting, the North Pacific council gave preliminary approval to a new rule that could shut down the nation's biggest single-species harvest entirely if similarly high chinook bycatch numbers are approached next year.
There are constant disputes over the extent and location of protective zones. The bans on bottom trawling protect areas where there was no such seafloor-scraping fishing in the past, for example, but did nothing for previously damaged sites, says Dorothy Childers, program director for the Alaska Marine Conservation Council. "There's still a lot of coral habitat that has been exposed to bottom trawling, and there's a lot of habitat that has been mowed under," she says.
Some of the quota programs have had unintended environmental consequences, such as fishermen purposely targeting species that are supposed to be incidental bycatch. In the first year of the crab program, "high-grading" skyrocketed as large numbers of legal-sized crabs were thrown back because they failed to meet the precise specifications preferred by seafood processors with quotas linked to the boats' quotas.
Anyone who expects the invisible hand of rationalization to automatically result in resource conservation should look elsewhere, says Ms. Childers. Clean fishing, whether under quotas or open-access, has to be specifically mandated, she says. "The improvement that can be made under a rationalized system is that you can fish more slowly – but you have to fish more slowly," she says.

The modern corporation features a great deal of separation of ownership (shareholders) and control (executives), which is often thought to be a problem. Yet Colin Mayer writes that the United Kingdom is probably best-in-class in terms of "good" corporate governance where executives are sharply disciplined to run firms in the interests of shareholders and has a deeply mediocre economy as a result. Rather than allocating capital in a way that creates tons of highly productive firms, the U.K. model produced a hypertrophied financial sector and now post-crisis the entire country seems to be going through a massive negative productivity shock.
His account of what's wrong is that shareholder sovereignty "systematically extinguishes any sense of commitment—of investors to companies, of executives to employees, of employees to firms, of firms to their investors, of firms to communities, or of this generation to any subsequent or past one." He says that "what economics does not recognize is the fundamental role of commitment in all aspects of our commercial as well as social lives, and the way in which institutions contribute to the creation and preservation of commitment."
This is actually one of the oldest and best critiques of the way the private equity industry works in practice. Lawrence Summers and Andrei Shleifer wrote in "Breach of Trust in Hostile Takeovers" that leveraged buyout firms essentially generate profits by violating informal understandings inside firms. The whole point of having firms is that it's wildly impractival to try to conduct business arrangements through fully specified contracts, but then in hops the buyout firm to make money by backing out of informal arrangements. In other words, people get screwed over. And over time, the society-wide level of trust and commitment erodes.
It's an important idea, and I'm glad to see it revived. But in some ways I think it's even simpler than that. When what you're interested in is innovation—new ideas—then efficient allocation of capital just doesn't matter that much. What matters is ideas. And you tend to see new ideas championed by CEOs with some appropriate combination of megalomania, charisma, and vision to take people along for a ride. Ex post, the visionary megalomaniacs whose ideas pan out tend to make a lot of money for their investors. But it just doesn't seem to be the case that backing visionary megalomaniacs is really a sound investment strategy. It's almost certainly good for America that nobody can really stop Sergei Brin from investing search profits in heads-up displays and driverless cars, and nobody can stop Jeff Bezos from playing out his vision of a all-growth no-profits world-destroying retail monster. Any normal person would rather see Apple blow tens of billions of dollars on a crazy moonshot new product category than pay out a bunch of boring old dividends.
It'd be wrong to say that what economics doesn't recognize is the importance of innovation and growth. But it doesn't have a great deal to say on the subject. The economics conventional wisdom is instead full of good ideas about how to efficiently allocate a fixed pool of resources. And that's what good corporate governance is all about—making sure that resources are employed in high-value ways rather than squandered. But fundamental innovation may simply require a certain amount of resource-squandering.

Tell me what and why I would use this, smaller words and shorter sentances, pretend I'm a PE teacher.
Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop might be remembered as the Thomas Watson of our time, based on his remark you don't need quad-core processors for smartphones. "You don't need a quad-core phone unless you want to keep your hands warm in your pocket," said the Yankee CEO brought in to re-float the Finnish ship. If we're …
You only need to carry around one gadget - your phone completely replaces your laptop or desktop. On the go, you have a phone. When you're around a keyboard & monitor, you have a desktop machine. I've been waiting for the cpu power of phones to get good enough to do this for a while.. This probably isn't it, but in one more generation of gadgets it will be.
Yeah this would be awesome for travelling, where you mainly do a bit of web surfing, emails, the odd word document etc - except for the monitor part, may as well carry an ultrabook/air as it would be the same size as a monitor.
Like the concept just not sure how it would work in practice...
Am I the only one who would actually prefer a phone to be just a phone - single core with good battery life over anything more! If I want to do more, I'll use a tablet/laptop/desktop. A smartphone that last more than a day is to me worth 10x the ability to play Crisis on it.
The closest I've seen to something worthwhile was Nvidia's idea of a powerful multicore coupled to a weak core, so the phone runs on the weak core until it needs more power, then starts up the beefier cores. That could be useful!
The advantage of ARM chips is that they don't use battery if you're not using it.
If you profile your phone energy usage you'll find it's the full length screen that will be eating most of the battery.
If you don't turn on internet and the massive full length screen all the time then your phone will last longer than a Nokia 3310!
My rooted, bloatware-stripped, Samsung Galaxy Note uses 1% of battery per hour when sitting on WiFi running GrooveIP. It's got a powerful, responsive, dual CPU -- but no power penalty.
I hooked it up to an HDMI monitor, Bluetooth mouse and keyboard yesterday. Even Android ain't a bad desktop when displaying on a big monitor, at 1280x800 :)
I am a happy camper... Maybe Ubuntu can make me happier... Time will tell...
I'll tell you, you aren't the only one to just want something "simple" (more subdued?) and trade off performance for battery life. There are days I'd got that route. Almost need a second phone for it. One for heavy duty power usage, one for light duty... The issue is the phone software and expected capabilities required of the "phone" are about to outstrip most everything already available. This is a problem for any anemic single core and even lower clocked dual core devices now. Phones will shortly be expected to virtualize/paravirtualize to keep pace with the BYOD policies in the workplace, where your company's virtual phone will be running on top of your normal phone. (BTW - plus's and minus's there, and depending on which day it is, I'd argue on either side of it).
Part of the reason I went with T-Mobile was they had the sole availability of a SGSII 1.5Ghz dual core which *should* last me two years. I don't have any confidence that the 1Ghz dual cores will make it that far with what I'm seeing on the horizon, like running a virtual desktop on top of your phone, or a virtual corporate device as part of BYOD. Course by next year I'll probably need a six core with unobtanium batteries to power it. :)
Anybody remember when phones were used for phone calls? (well, Pepperidge Farms remembers!)
Elops a fucking idiot. Everyone knows that the number of cores has nothing to do with how much heat it kicks out. TDP is what is responsible for that.
Right now many of the dual-core phones are 800Mhz and the single cores are 1.4Ghz, and both punch roughly about the same...
Many of the ARM devices can turn off cores, for example the Tegra3, which has a 5th ultra-low power core for when the device is not doing anything, all the other 4 "proper" cores are all turned off.
Elop, you really are the wrong man for the job, when Barry Shitpeas can out-talk you technically.
> Elops a fucking idiot.
He's actually doing the smart thing here, given his situation. Microsoft needed to get an OS with a decent user interface out the door quickly, so they didn't bother supporting multicore in WinPho7.
Elop needs to sell a lot of WinPho7 devices, so he's using a standard sales FUD technique. Sheer nonsense of course, but if it drives sales Nokia does better, which is what Elop wants.
If the rumours are true and WinPho8 does support multicore (see, e.g., http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Windows-Phone-8-Windows-8-Apollo-NFC-phones,news-14074.html) then Elop will change his argument and declare that multicore technology has improved sufficiently over the last few months to warrant their inclusion in the latest Nokia device.
"Am I the only one who would actually prefer a phone to be just a phone - single core with good battery life over anything more."
Well there are literally _thousands_ of models out there that literally just do that. They are called feature phones. I know the distinction between smartphone and feature phone is arbitrary, but feature phone typically are what you seem to want.
So please stop trying to make smartphones dumber and dumber. If I buy a smartphone, and pay often 10 times as much or more than for a feature phone, I don't want to have a dumbed down device, I want something full featured.
Of course what I'd really like would be a low power Linux phone with a text console and a keyboard. :) I could live without colour, though I like the screen of my N810 which turns monochrome in reflective mode.
"Am I the only one who would actually prefer a phone to be just a phone"
Strange then that you've previously posted :-
"I got an iPhone 3G at launch in 2008, I was out of the 18m contract by the end of 2009, when I got the HTC Hero. I didnt like it and found it vastly inferior to the iPhone, so replaced it with the 3GS after a few months and saw out the 18m contract. Then around the middle of last year I bought a GS2 and a sim only contract - which I gave to my dad when the Lumia launched and I bought that"
There's some interesting debate going on here and it's nice to read the different sides.
But I think I should clarify that when I say I want a phone to be a phone, that doesn't mean it shouldn't do things like web browsing, camera, music etc. I just don't see the logic in it booting a full desktop OS and becoming more than a phone...
I want a *smartphone* that remains just a phone. My sole complaint is this current race to the top in processor power will be coupled with a decrease in the usability of the device as a phone. It's nothing against dual cores, it's just a problem when their performance seems to take preference to battery life.
I'm still running an old Mesh computer that has a 900MHz Athlon processor and 384MB of RAM, which happily runs Windows XP (albeit slowly- but it's fine for web browsing/emails/document editing). So it just seems to me a smartphone could be optimised to work perfectly on lesser hardware and offer better battery life...
I don't think unity is awesome but maybe you find it unuseable because you can not adapt to change rather than it being broken. It's better for someone to try and innovate even if they fuck up. There after all hundreds of linux distros I'm sure you can live if one goes off experimenting and you find yourself in capable of adapting.
"innovation" is fine so long as it's not forced down everyone's throats. That is the Microsoft way. That's also how Apple does things. Bold experiments are fine so long as they don't trash the status quo. The fact that this is easy to do in Linux is why un-loved aspects of X11 are so handy.
Defaults should be sane, useful, usable, and represent the widest use case.
Unix does have some notion of UI guidelines.
Unix probably has some of the earliest "UI guidlines" in that there is a general concensus that UIs should be separated from the logic, and that if you have UI it shouldn't be captive of possible so you can always control it from another program.
Unix carries the notion that openes does not stop at the source code, but goes beyond that. An open system also uses open file formats you can process with simple and common tools.

"Defaults should be sane, useful, usable, and represent the widest use case."
The meaning of sane, useful and usable is open to interpretation. While 'represent the widest use case" means everything should look like Windows.

I've been using Ubuntu since 7.04 and you know what Unity works for me after a few minor changes. I dock the apps l use in the Launcher/Panel (what ever it's called). Reduced the size to 32 pixels and disabled auto-hide.
On the broader topic the great thing about Linux is there is choice, there is flexibility, there is the ability to customise. If you don't like what 1 person provides you can change. Get Lubuntu and forget about Unity.
I'd still rather not have android as it's been a pita for me already but I like the move to real linux for phones. If it continues and we get a full fledged ubuntu phone I'll buy that.
You have to give them credit for at least trying to mainstream Linux even if thing like Unity aren't so great.
Unity is OK on a netbook. It falls apart (for me anyway) moving up into larger display Laptop and desktop machines. Other people like it though, so c'est la vie. I personally switched to Kubuntu to escape Unity.
The way things are headed with convergence, the mobile only OS's like iOS, Android and Winphone are all looking at the end of the line as the desktop versions move over onto the phones and tablets. Apple and the Linux vendors (like Google and Canonical and others) have a head start as they're already running stripped down BSD/OSX and Linux's with different layers running on the top obviously. A full blown OSX or Linux running on the phone with the iOS/Android (respectively) compatibility layer on top isn't out of the question. Microsoft is converging as well. It makes sense to only maintain one code base though.
1. not going to happen anytime soon (not until all GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA and mind you WiFi patents too expire, in any case)
2. while you wait for this, everyone else buys generations after generations of brave new LTE/gaga/googoo/blahblah iPhones and stuff and your point of reference moves ahead of you, again.
3. Return to p.1
Its *purely* an experiment so far, but truthfully it works quite well on an T-Mobe SGSII T989 OC'd to 1.7Ghz. Give it a quad core and it'd FLY. I used the the Ubuntu Installer app on my rooted device running Juggernaut (along with several manual steps not recommended for normal users). Basically fires up a headless Ubuntu which you then VNC into (from your phone or anything that supports VNC). Not ready for masses yet, but it works and the performance is OK when VNC'd in from my desktop with the resolution set at 1280x800. (performance is merely acceptable if VNC'd in from the device into itself).
I'm still experimenting with it, but I can see some definite advantages to this being developed further for normal consumption. One I can have my "desktop" literally follow me where ever with REAL desktop apps, except its on my phone. Particularly useful is if you are out and want to check email/ebay/facebook/whatever from a friend's PC (VNC'd into my phone) without pontentially leaving your credentials on their PC. This way your authentication stays on your browser, rather than on the friend's browser. One of the other options is the whole VDI thing from VMWare, but running this sort of thing from an overpowered phone does seem to be a better utilization of resources.
Bingo! Give that AC a prize. :) The other thing is more cores, with a slower clock, and newer manufacturing processes will actually reduce power requirements while increasing performance (if the OS/apps are done correctly). Or more cores with similar clockspeed and newer mfg process has the same power consumption as the device before it, but with turbo'd performance.
What people forget is the reason for more cores is to maintain and sometimes reduce power consumption while still increasing performance. Adding cores is now the easiest way to boost performance without a power plant next door (or a battery backpack in the case of mobile devices). What the processor mfg's ran into years ago was a near brick wall on single core procs for power consumption/heat dissipation. So they dropped the clock speed and popped another core in for better performance in the same/better power envelope. Elop however is doing what any CEO of a company behind the 8 ball (with obsolete hardware and software) would do and is blowing smoke to keep folks buying current product until the real products (dual/quad core Win8 phones) get released.
I like this idea, and it warms me to Android - been hoping for a successor to my beloved Nokia N900 (best allround device out there). I would still prefer to see a native flashable Linux based OS for these devices.
Oh, and I may be wierd, but I like unity and Ubuntu and use it on my personal laptop all the time! Windows 7 feels awkward and old fashioned when I use it.
Nice idea, and I genuinely think that a portable personal "core" that you carry and connect to shells tailored for a given task is a possible future of computing.
That said, quit pissing around and make a smartphone already! Maemo/MeeGo are dead in the water (again), and everyone and their dog's moving to dumbed-down walled-off systems that send a packet back to the manufacturer every time you pick your nose. Canonical making a phone is my last hope for a useful Linux-based device that drops the irritating hardware abstraction, lets me hack it to bits as I see fit, and is actually natively capable of performing advanced tasks and getting things done.
You know - A BLOODY SMARTPHONE!
I have to ask, I mean really.
Why the HELL is making phone chips more powerful and more thirsty regarded as a good thing? Why would I want to buy more expensive hardware in order to make up for the failings of a crufty and poorly optimized OS?
In my little word, software needing more powerful horsepower is a bad thing. Your mileage clearly varies.
> more powerful and more thirsty
If you are stuck with single-core, as WP7 phones are, then more powerful is more thirsty. But multi-core does not necessarily mean more thirsty. Cores can go idle which saves battery, but only to a certain degree. With multi-core then some cores can be completely turned off while the one remaining can be put to idle. With a quad-core, instead of 50-60% saving, you could get 75% plus 50-60% of 25%.
This is part of the reason that some phones last for days while Nokia WP7s seem to last less than a day.
The other thing is that multi-cores do not need to be symmetric. There can be one or more fast core plus one or more slower but highly efficient core that idles at much lower levels of usage (plus a GPU for example). An OS that supports this (WP7 does not) could switch in whatever is needed at the time and thus may be blazing fast when required and yet have long battery life.
That doesnt address the main point both Elop and others are making us this core race is being driven not by any user need but by a poorly crafted bloated OS. It's patently obvious that out of the 4 main smartphone OSes Android is by far the most demanding on the hardware.
> obvious .. Android is by far the most demanding on the hardware
It is not 'obvious' that this is the case. It may be obvious that Android can handle more powerful, more varied, and more featureful hardware.
While an Android phone may have dual 800MHz a WP7 (such as Nokia 800) has 1.4GHz single (because it can't handle more than a single core).
Android can reduce its battery usage by using dual, or more, cores by switching some off and idling the lower speed cores, which increases the battery life.
WP7 phones (single core) are made obsolete by MS talk of dual core 'SuperPhone' and WOA (and thus implied WP8) which _requires_ dual core.
I noticed that some recent phones are qHD at 960 x 540 which makes it easier to upscale and downscale (and thus should be _much_ less demanding). WP7 is locked to only 320x480 or 800x480 (by MS directive and WP7 capability) which makes HD especially demanding on rescaling. This is supposed to be fixed by 'SuperPhone' (which also makes current WP7 phones obsolete).
I thought this was about shoddy OS implementation driving ever hungrier chips. And you know as well as I do that all you fat dual-core smartphones guzzle juice like an American economy car.
The continued "WP7 is shit because it doesn't support hardware you shouldn't need" thing is getting pretty old, dude. As well as not really relevant.
> The continued "WP7 is shit because it doesn't support hardware you shouldn't need" thing is getting pretty old, dude. As well as not really relevant.
Whether WP7 is shit or not is independent of how many cores it supports, and hasn't been discussed. However, support for multi-cores can have a beneficial effect on the battery, as pointed out with good reasons.
It seems to be that it is the 1.4MHz single-core that guzzles juice:
"""The Nokia 800 ... it has had its fair share of issues regarding battery life and audio and camera quality."""

Brief(ish) History
When a seed is planted, the sower has faith something beautiful will emerge in the future.
David Lipscomb and James A. Harding boldly and faithfully sowed seeds more than 125 years ago that they believed would continue to grow and thrive in the hearts and minds of generations of students seeking to shape their own faith and to arm themselves with practical tools to build their own tomorrows.
The Lipscomb University story is one built on the faith and vision of these two men who were not only faith-focused, but future-focused as they had a passion for providing an opportunity for young men and women to increase their knowledge and prepare for a career while integrating faith and the study of Scripture.
Lipscomb and Harding were Christian college-educated ministers who believed strongly in the value of an education infused by faith. They spent many long nights in the summer and fall of 1889 at Lipscomb's farmhouse home dreaming of and developing a vision for the future … for a school in Nashville offering an education in a Christian context.
In 1891 the men took a bold move forward and stepped out in faith to established Nashville Bible School. They were men ahead of their time … innovators in education. They did not want the institution to be a seminary, but rather an exceptional educational institution, which helps its students to explore and form their faith. As Harding boldly declared when the school opened, "We aspire to stand in the front ranks of the great educational institutions of the world."
A Leader in Education
From its early days, the school was a leader in education. The institution admitted men and women and added a medical doctor to its faculty to teach sciences in only its second year of existence. Today, more incoming students are interested in pre-med than any other major!
Their founding vision continues to be reflected in the essence of the university today. At Lipscomb University, we believe that as knowledge grows in use, it also grows in value. With the lessons of our classrooms, we work in the world. With the certainty of our faith, we serve the good of all. With the experiences of our past, we plan for the future. We believe that when you know your gifts, your God and your direction, you confidently welcome what comes next.
David Lipscomb was confident about what would come next … an institution that would integrate Christian faith and practice with academic excellence. This mission is carried out not only in the classroom but also by involvement in numerous services to the community and the world around us.
A Permanent Home
Associated with the Churches of Christ, the Nashville Bible School grew and found a permanent home on the David and Margaret Lipscomb's 110-acre farm along Granny White Pike in 1903. In 1918, the school was renamed David Lipscomb College in memory of its founder and reflecting the growth of the institution. The institution became known as Lipscomb University in 1988.
Lipscomb served as a junior college until graduating its first senior college class in 1948. The institution received its first accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1954. In 1988, the university first offered master's degree programs and in 2007 it launched its first doctoral program. A vital part of the Lipscomb University system is Lipscomb Academy, which annually educates more than 1,300 students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12 in a college-preparatory curriculum.
Today, more than 4,500 students are enrolled at the university and choose from eight bachelor's degrees in 95 majors or 141 areas of undergraduate study, several pre-professional programs and an accelerated evening and online adult degree program and portfolio assessment option for those who wish to complete their undergraduate degrees. Lipscomb also offers 27 master's degrees, eight education specialist degrees and three doctorate degrees in 66 fields of study.
City is Our Campus
We know that learning often takes place outside the traditional classroom. We view the thriving city of Nashville as our campus and the world as our classroom. A variety of global study opportunities help students learn about the world around them. Each year, more than 800 students, faculty and staff travel around the world to serve others through mission trips as well.
Students are also involved in numerous professional, service and social clubs and have the opportunity to experience art events, guest lectures, worship and athletics events as well. Lipscomb is a member of NCAA Division I in athletics and fields 17 men's and women's intercollegiate teams.
Because of the bold faith of David and Margaret Lipscomb, James A. Harding and many others, thousands of students for nearly 125 years have been forever transformed into confident, competent and conscious young men and women who are prepared for their next in life.

Each Wednesday, barbecue is served in the cafeteria at work. I have worked there for five years and the Barbecue Wednesday has been in existence for the last three. Today it made me laugh.
I thought about the first family cookout that my husband ever attended with me in Prentiss, MS. Cookouts were nothing special for the Hathorns. We had random cookouts for anywhere from 20 to 50 cousins, aunts and uncles all the time. The men grilled and the women made potato salad, egg salad, green salad, cornbread, baked beans and the desserts. Only water and tea (sweetened of course) were served around the table. There was usually a tree with a cooler under it that held the beer. That was just the way dinner was served in the summer.
I told my newlywed husband that we were going to Prentiss, MS to visit my grandmother and that most likely there would be a cookout. He looked worried. The idea of an interracial couple in a small town in Mississippi didn't make him feel all warm inside. I told him that he was being ridiculous. The whole trip to Mississippi, he kept asking if everyone in my family knew that he was White and that they were cool with that. I kept saying yes, but he didn't believe me.
The day of the cookout, my family welcomed him with open arms. He looked a little more comfortable as the day got started but kept his seat next to me and my grandma. My cousin yelled, "Food's ready, y'all" and a rush of people gathered around the food table with plates. A cousin said to Paul, "Baby, we made you gumbo. It's not the best, but I think it's all right." He thanked her politely, but didn't move from his seat.
My grandma leaned over to me and whispered, "Get Paul a plate." I then turned to Paul and said, "Get your plate." And for the first time since I was a very small child my grandmother pinched me under the table – hard! She whispered again, "Don't embarrass me. Get Paul a plate."
Well, with those instructions, what could I do? I got food for Paul and my grandma and myself. My grandma smiled and Paul grinned. I mouthed "Never again" and he laughed. We still talk about that day almost 16 years later when I was disciplined by my grandma as 22 year old married woman.

Heffalump Boulder
Drive to the Ostrich Egg area and park near the Mt Everest Chalet taking care not to block the access of the chalet occupants. Walk up the path to the chalet. About 5 m before the chalet, turn left onto a vague path that leads up past a water tank. From the water tank walk diagonally left up the hill heading towards the group of three large boulders at the base of the main face. The Heffalump Boulder is the furthest of the three and is a steep slab that is barely 5 minutes walk from the parking area. These routes were located, climbed and bolted by Gavin Peckham on 25 April 2004 with help from Gavin Raubenheimer and Nicky Swart as part of an MCSA-KZN project to establish more routes for beginners. Note: The first three routes climb up past 'ears' or flakes that are (currently) quite sound but look vulnerable to a strong outward pull - especially the one on the right (Pooh Bear). Belayers beware and climbers please treat them gently!
1. Piglet (10) 6D ***
Climb the line of bolts on the left of the boulder. The chains are over the edge, out of sight of the start.
2. Kanga (10) 6D ***
Climb the line of bolts just to the right of 'Piglet'.
3. Pooh Bear (12) 6D ***
Climb the line of bolts just to the right of 'Kanga', passing just right of the third 'ear'.
4. Woozle Tracks (15) 7D ***
This is the line towards the right-hand side of the slab. Start off the small block in the bush directly below the first bolt. From the first bolt make a rising traverse (crux, thin) across towards the arête on the right and then follow the bolts straight up to the chains. On the traverse stay higher rather than lower.
The next two routes are on the back of the boulder and may be reached by following a path around to the right.
5. Coffin Dodger (17) 5D ***
FA: Gavin Peckham (15 Nov 2008)
Pull up onto the face. Follow the bolts up the left of the face.
6. Fat and Feeble (17) 6D ***
FA: Gavin Peckham (15 Nov 2008)
Climb the line of bolts on the right-hand side of the small face. Avoid using the block on the right as far as possible.

PrimeMyBody utilizes a unique liposomal delivery system, which dramatically improves the bioavailability of the oil. Our product is a Dietary Supplement and contains hemp extract derived from the stalks and stems of the mature industrial hemp plant, which delivers healthful benefits, without having the psychoactive or "high" effect associated with this type of botanical.
Cannabinoid receptors are found throughout the body, primarily in the immune system and the structures associated with healthy immune functioning. With these cannabinoid receptor sites spread throughout our entire bodies, it is paramount these receptors are working properly to keep this important internal system functioning to protect you.
PrimeMyBody's non-detectable THC (<0.3%) Phytocannabinoid Diol hemp extract uses our cutting-edge liposomal delivery methods to increase absorption of this exceptional natural compound.
PrimeMyBody utilizes a unique liposomal delivery system, which dramatically improves bioavailability of the oil. Our product is a Dietary Supplement and contains industrial hemp extract derived from the stalks and stems of the hemp plant, which delivers healthful benefits, without the psychoactive or "high" effect associated with this type of botanical.
We recently conducted a 10-person, in-house study comparing Intra-Absorption (bioavailability) of Liposomal & Non-Liposomal Cannabidiol. Relative bioavailability is determined by comparing the plasma concentration time-curves (usually as area under the curve) after administration of two different formulations of the same compound. The results of the study revealed that PrimeMyBody's liposomal Nano-Enhanced Hemp Oil was absorbed into the blood in amounts almost 6 times greater than the non-liposomal formulation tested. The graph concludes that our liposomal hemp oil far out-performs the non-liposomal formulation. In this study, our CBD liposome formulation was tested against our CBD in hemp seed oil as a carrier.
Unlike other liposomal products using low grade phospholipids that breakdown and do not deliver compounds effectively, our high-grade phosphatidylcholine phospholipids are smaller, more stable, single-layer spheres which maximize bioavialabilty of our hemp oil. With this study, it's easy to see how our liposomal formulation brings the power of intravenous therapy into convenient oral delivery for rapid uptake. Our vesicles are small enough to begin absorption as soon as they hit your mouth; it's lightning fast!

Charles Schwab announced a decline in net new assets in its Advisor Services unit for the third quarter, but total client assets in the unit were up from last quarter.
According to the firm's quarterly earnings report, net new assets in Advisor Services were down 4 percent from last quarter and 10 percent from the year-ago quarter to $9.5 billion. Total client assets, however, were $762.3 billion, up 5 percent sequentially and 19 percent over the third quarter of 2011.
Schwab would not provide the number of new RIA recruits for the quarter, but the firm did say they're seeing an acceleration of larger deals this quarter. The size of deals were 20 percent larger than deals in the second quarter. Teams from the wirehouses made up 45 percent of new recruits, followed by independent broker/dealer teams at 35 percent. So-called "tuck-ins"—when advisors leave a firm to join another rather than start their own practice—represent 36 percent of deals so far this year.
TD Ameritrade has not reported its third quarter earnings yet, so we don't know how Schwab's results stack up. That said, Schwab still likely dominates the custodians by advisor assets.
Total client assets across the entire firm grew 20 percent to a record $1.89 trillion, the firm said. Net income was $247 million, up 12 percent from a year ago.
During the quarter, the firm expanded its 'Insight to Action' practice management consulting program, which provides hands-on support to its RIA firms. The program covers strategic planning, managing profitability, driving productivity through technology and succession planning.
The firm reported lower mergers and acquisitions activity in the second quarter of this year, with eight deals during that period with acquired assets under management of $12.3 billion, compared with 17 deals with $24 billion in AUM in the first quarter. In comparison, there were 70 deals in 2010 that accounted for $62.7 billion in AUM.
