Official Opinion 2011-4
A member of the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission may serve no more than one complete four year term of office, as set by law, and may for a period of less than a complete term hold over in office until his successor is duly appointed and properly takes office.
You have asked for my opinion regarding the proper calculation of the terms of office and the expiration dates of those terms for members of the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission, formerly known as the State Ethics Commission. It is my official opinion that a member of the Commission may serve no more than one complete four year term of office, as set by law, and may for a period of less than a complete term hold over in office until his successor is duly appointed and properly takes office.
In 1974, the General Assembly enacted the Campaign Financing Disclosure Act and created, as the regulatory body to enforce the Act, the State Campaign Ethics Commission. 1974
The initial terms of office for these appointees were staggered so that the terms of the Commission members would not expire at the same time.
The following year the General Assembly revised the manner of selecting the five Commission members, with the Secretary of State, the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the House appointing three members and the Governor appointing the two remaining members. 1975
In 1976, the General Assembly amended these provisions again, extending by one year each of the terms provided for in the 1975 statutory change. 1976
In 1986, the Commission became the State Ethics Commission. 1986
A change in 2005 removed the appointment power of the Lieutenant Governor and instead provided that the Senate appointment would be made by the Committee on Assignments. 2005
The commission shall be governed by five members appointed as follows: three members, not more than two of whom shall be from the same political party, shall be appointed by the Governor, two for terms of three years and one for a term of two years; one member shall be appointed by the Senate Committee on Assignments for a term of four years; and one member shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives for a term of four years. Upon the expiration of a member's term of office, a new member, appointed in the same manner as the member whose term of office expired as provided in this subsection, shall become a member of the commission and shall serve for a term of four years and until such member's successor is duly appointed and qualified. If a vacancy occurs in the membership of the commission, a new member shall be appointed to the unexpired term of office by the state official or the committee that appointed the vacating member. Members of the commission shall not serve for more than one complete term of office.
O.C.G.A. § 21‑5‑4(b). These provisions now control the proper calculation of the terms of office for the commission members.
In removing the reference to the March 2, 1987, date, as noted above, there is no indication that the General Assembly intended to change either the terms of office of the commissioners or how those terms of office should be calculated. The General Assembly left in place the provisions that commissioners could only be appointed either to fill the balance of the unexpired term of a previous commissioner or to the commissioner's own four year term of office. Because of this, the current commissioners' terms of office can only be identified by reference to the March 2, 1987, date in the previous versions of the statute and that must be used as the starting date for the calculation of all subsequent terms of office.
Applying these provisions, then, to the terms of office of the members of the Commission, it appears that the following principles and calculations are appropriate.
- Starting March 2, 1987, the Governor had the authority to appoint a member of the Commission initially to serve a two year term of office. That term of office expired March 1, 1989. Subsequent appointees to this position received four year terms of office which ran from March 2 to March 1 four years later for the following time periods: 1989-1993, 1993-1997, 1997-2001, 2001‑2005, 2005-2009, 2009-2013, and so forth into the future.
- The Governor also had the authority to appoint two members of the Commission initially to three year terms of office, again beginning on March 2, 1987. These two terms of office ran from March 2, 1987, until March 1, 1990. Thereafter, the succeeding commissioners were to serve four year terms of office from March 2 until March 1 four years later for the following time periods: 1990–1994, 1994–1998, 1998–2002, 2002–2006, 2006‑2010, 2010–2014, and so forth.
- Finally, the Speaker of the House and the Lieutenant Governor at the time (and the Senate Committee on Assignments since 2005) had the authority to appoint one commissioner each for four year terms of office. Those terms of office would have begun on March 2, 1987, and expired on March 1 four years later for the following time periods: 1987–1991, 1991–1995, 1995–1999, 1999–2003, 2003–2007, 2007‑2011, 2011–2015, and so forth.
- The General Assembly anticipated that commissioners would sometimes not serve their full four year terms of office. This situation was addressed by providing the appropriate appointing person or entity with the authority to appoint a person to serve the balance of an unexpired term. Such an appointment would not change the underlying term of office of the previous incumbent commissioner, which would still be calculated as noted above. The new appointee would be serving the same term of office in the place of the departed commissioner. Because that commissioner, by virtue of being appointed to someone else's unexpired term of office, would not have served his own "complete" term of office, he is presumptively eligible to be appointed to his own four year term of office upon the ending of the previous incumbent's unexpired term.
- Finally, the statutory framework for the Commission also anticipates that, at the end of a term of office, a replacement commissioner might not be immediately appointed by the appropriate authority. Rather than leaving an unfilled vacancy on the Commission, which might hamper it in carrying out its statutory duties and responsibilities, the General Assembly provided that a commissioner could "hold over" in office, i.e., continue to serve beyond the expiration of his term of office. Again, this provision did not change the underlying term of office. The commissioner "holding over" is not receiving a new term of office. Instead, he continues to serve beyond the end of his term of office only as a matter of governmental necessity and operation and can be summarily replaced by the appointment of a new commissioner by the appropriate authority. That new appointee's term of office would still be measured by the statutory framework outlined above, dating from the March 2, 1987, starting date for the various terms of office.
- Applying these provisions, then, the current five members of the Commission should be serving terms of office as follows: one gubernatorial appointee should be serving a term of office that expires March 1, 2013, and the remaining two gubernatorial appointees should be serving terms of office expiring on March 1, 2014; the two legislative appointees should each be serving terms of office that would expire on March 1, 2015. These and the previous terms run with the office itself and do not change or depend upon who is the actual office holder.
Current Terms of Office
The current members of the Commission are Chairman Patrick N. Millsaps, Kent Alexander and B. Chan Caudell, all of who are gubernatorial appointees, and Hillary Stringfellow and Kevin Abernethy, who are the appointees of the Speaker of the House and the Senate Committee on Assignments respectively. You have asked for a clarification on the terms of office of these Commission members.
Your office, the office of the Speaker, the Secretary of the Senate, and the Campaign Finance Commission have provided the available documentation regarding past appointments to the Commission. Unfortunately, this documentation from the inception of the Commission to the present is incomplete, making it difficult – if not impossible – to determine with certainty when some commissioners' terms have ended and whether particular commission members have been appointed to unexpired or complete terms or have otherwise served in a holdover capacity. The difficulty is further compounded because it appears that many of the previous appointments of commissioners have not been made in accordance with the above outlined statutory time table and framework. This means the appointment documentation that is available may have used erroneous dates for the ending of terms or mischaracterized the nature of the appointment, making it increasingly difficult for succeeding appointing authorities to determine accurate periods of service for the proper terms of office. Finally, a number of commissioners resigned their positions during their terms, while others held over in office for substantial periods of time, all of which further clouds an understanding of the proper beginning and ending dates for the terms of office.
It is not possible to correct earlier mistakes regarding the appointments of commissioners who are no longer serving on the Commission. However, from a review of the available information it appears that each of those commissioners was otherwise properly appointed by the appropriate authority. To the extent that the timing of their service did not comport with the statutory terms of office, it nonetheless appears that they properly entered into their offices and acted in accordance with
However, as you have recognized, it is appropriate to harmonize the terms of the present commissioners with
Chairman Patrick N. Millsaps
The documentation provided states that Mr. Patrick Millsaps was initially appointed to the Commission on February 10, 2009, by Governor Sonny Perdue. The appointment order indicated that he was being appointed to succeed Emmett Bowers, "whose term expired on February 5, 2007." General Bowers' appointment order stated he was appointed on July 3, 2003, to succeed Rodney K. Strong, whose term of office according to the appointment order "expired February 5, 2003." Records provided by the Commission indicate that Mr. Strong began his service on the Commission on June 28, 2001. Unfortunately, while the appointments were properly made by the appointing Governors, the terms provided in these orders did not comply with the statutorily prescribed terms outlined above.
Instead, in order to harmonize the periods of actual service by these commissioners with the term requirements of the law, it must be concluded that Mr. Strong's June 28, 2001, appointment by Governor Roy Barnes was actually for the term of office that began March 2, 2001, and would have run until March 1, 2005. Mr. Strong apparently left office prior to that date on February 5, 2003, leaving the balance of his unexpired term unfilled. Governor Perdue appointed General Bowers to succeed Mr. Strong on July 3, 2003, but that appointment can only be interpreted as an appointment to fill the balance of his unexpired term. General Bowers then continued to serve beyond the March 1, 2005, term expiration date, holding over in office until February 5, 2007, when it appears that he ceased to perform the functions of the office. This date was actually halfway through the next statutory term of office which ran from March 2, 2005, until March 1, 2009.
No action was taken to fill the 2005-2009 term until the appointment of Mr. Millsaps on February 10, 2009. The Governor's appointment order indicates Mr. Millsaps was to succeed General Bowers on the Commission, but no one realized that only 19 days remained in that term of office. Mr. Millsaps continued to serve in the office and must be considered a holdover because no new appointment order was entered on his behalf at that time. On February 28, 2011, you appointed Mr. Millsaps to a new term on the Commission. Consistent with the law, this appointment must be construed as intended to permit Mr. Millsaps to serve a new term of office that began on March 2, 2009, and will expire on March 1, 2013. If that is your intent, I recommend that a corrected order of appointment be entered.
The question arises whether Mr. Millsaps is eligible to so serve on the Commission. As noted above, the law prohibits a commissioner from serving "for more than one complete term of office." O.C.G.A. § 21‑5‑4. While Mr. Millsaps was appointed to serve a portion of the 2005-2009 term, that appointment amounted to 19 days of service. While the issue is certainly a unique one, it would not appear from any sensible measurement that serving those 19 days would be considered having previously served a "complete term of office" so as to disqualify him from a new appointment on the Commission. While Mr. Millsaps is eligible to complete this current term of office, he would not be eligible for reappointment in 2013.
Mr. Kent Alexander
The terms of Kent Alexander and his immediate predecessors appear to be consistent with the statutory terms set out above. It appears that, for this position on the Commission, Governor Roy Barnes appointed Ms. Pamela James Doumar on April 10, 2002, to serve the 2002-2006 term of office. However, Ms. Doumar's appointment to the Commission was ultimately not confirmed by the Senate and therefore she ceased to hold office as a matter of law upon the adjournment of the Senate on April 25, 2003, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 45‑12‑54. See 2003 Op. Att'y Gen. 2003‑5 (2003
Mr. Steve Farrow was then appointed by Governor Perdue on June 10, 2003, to fill the balance of the 2002-2006 term of office. It appears that Mr. Farrow held over in office until January 18, 2007, when he was succeeded by Griffin B. "Jake" Pollard. Mr. Pollard was appointed to his own four year term of office on January 19, 2007, to serve until March 2, 2010. However, Mr. Pollard resigned from the Commission prior to the end of his term. Mr. Alexander was then appointed on October 1, 2009, to serve the balance of Mr. Pollard's term, i.e., until March 2010.
Subsequently, and as permitted under O.C.G.A. § 21‑5‑4, Mr. Alexander also held over in that office until he was again appointed to the Commission on March 26, 2010, this time to his own new term of office "ending March 2 [sic], 2014."[3] For a short period of time later in 2010, Mr. Alexander considered relocating to
Mr. B. Chan Caudell
The terms of Chan Caudell and his immediate predecessors also appear to be consistent with the appropriate statutory terms of office, including the current 2010-2014 term. Mr. Caudell was appointed to the Commission by you on August 19, 2011, to serve the balance of the unexpired term of Mr. Josh Belinfante, who resigned to seek election to public office. Mr. Caudell's appointment order indicates his term will expire March 2, 2014.[4] Mr. Belinfante had been appointed August 20, 2010, to a four year term ending on March 2, 2014. Mr. Belinfante had succeeded Mr. James Gatewood, who had been appointed on January 19, 2007, to serve the 2006-2010 term of office. Therefore, Mr. Caudell is currently serving the balance of an unexpired term of office and would be eligible to be appointed to his own four year term of office in 2014.
Ms. Hillary Stringfellow
As noted above, the current terms of office for the Commission members appointed by the Speaker of the House and the Senate Committee on Assignments run from March 2, 2011, until March 1, 2015. The present appointee of the Speaker is Ms. Hillary Stringfellow.
Relying on the records of the Commission itself and some documentation from the Speaker's office, the following seems to be the recent history of appointments. On March 2, 1991, Mr. Steven E. Scheer was appointed to serve the 1991-1995 term of office. Mr. Scheer held over in office, however, until February 26, 1999. By that time, much of the 1995-1999 term of office had been served. After Mr. Scheer left the Commission, the position remained unfilled until December 1, 1999, when Mr. Sam G. Nicholson was appointed. This appointment should be construed as the filling of the 1999-2003 term and, indeed, Mr. Nicholson served until December 1, 2003.
Apparently the position then remained vacant until the appointment of Mr. Sonny Watson on January 4, 2005. This appointment was made approximately halfway through the 2003-2007 term of office. However, Mr. Watson served until April 15, 2009, which again must be construed as his holding over in office into the beginning of the 2007-2011 term. On January 15, 2010, Robert J. Proctor was appointed to the Commission, serving briefly until February 12, 2010. That was when the present incumbent, Ms. Stringfellow, was appointed on July 1, 2010, to fill the balance of the unexpired term of Mr. Proctor, which would have ended March 1, 2011. It appears that Ms. Stringfellow is currently holding over in office given that the current term of office started on March 2, 2011, and will expire on March 1, 2015. Ms. Stringfellow is eligible for reappointment to the Commission for the 2011-2015 term.
Mr. Kevin Abernethy
Originally this position on the Commission was filled by appointment of the Lieutenant Governor, but that was changed in 2005 and the responsibility moved to the Senate Committee on Assignments. The history of appointees for this position appears to be that Mr. Jerry Sanders was appointed to the Commission on March 2, 1987, to serve until March 2, 1991. This was appropriate in filling the 1987-1991 term. Thereafter, Ms. Denise Cleveland-Leggett was appointed to fill the 1991-1995 term, serving from June 10, 1991 until June 1, 1995, essentially holding over after the expiration of the term on March 1, 1995. She was followed in office by Mr. Michael D. McRae who was appointed to serve the 1995-1999 term, albeit from July 1 to July1 rather than the statutory March dates.
It is not clear what followed in relation to filling the 1999-2003 term of office, but it does appear that Mr. Billy Ned Jones was appointed to the Commission sometime in 2002 to serve until April 2006. However, Mr. Jones apparently left office in 2004 and Mr. David H. Moskowitz was appointed to fill the balance of his term. Given the statutory terms, this must be construed as actually an appointment until March 1, 2007. However, given the misunderstanding about the appropriate terms of office, Mr. Moskowitz left office on April 1, 2006. He was replaced by William "Bill" H. Jordan who served from April 12, 2006, until August 31, 2010. This time period effectively covered most of the 2007-2011 statutory term of office and it appears to have been the intent of the Senate Committee on Assignments at that time to appoint Mr.
In any case, Mr.
It is apparent that there has been a substantial misunderstanding of the law and the nature of the appointments for members of the Commission. As noted above, it is not possible to remedy this entirely; however, the situation can be addressed and corrected for future appointments. I have attempted to provide some guidance here in doing so. Regarding the gubernatorial appointments to the Commission, one appointee's term will expire on March 1, 2013, and two will expire on March 1, 2014. The current terms of office of the appointees of the Speaker and the Senate Committee on Assignments will expire on March 1, 2015. Current occupants of those offices may legally hold over and, in some instances, may be eligible for reappointment. However, no member of the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission may serve more than one complete four year term of office, as set by law; notwithstanding that limitation, a member may for a period of less than a complete term hold over in office until his successor is duly appointed and properly takes office.

Profile Design is a veritable one-stop shop for customizing your time trial or triathlon position. In addition to several base bars, they also have over a half dozen extensions to choose from. The T2+ Carbon Clip-On TT Bars are one of the more popular extension shapes for anyone who needs to maximum hand positions and comfort.
Rather than a gradual upward ski-bend curve, the T2+ extensions jog downward, running almost parallel to the ground. This allows your wrists to align with your forearms, while also permitting your hands to comfortably wrap around the underside of the bars. This bend has been popularized by professional cyclists and triathletes, as it's more aggressive than the traditional ski-bend design — the position creates a low frontal profile. The drop in the bars allows your hands to wrap around them for extra stability during hard intervals.
The T2+ extensions were constructed from a multi-directional, multi-layered carbon fiber that places an emphasis on strength and durability rather than stiffness and low-weight. Additionally,the bars feature internal drilling if you choose to run bar-end shifters.
Profile Design mated the T2+ extension with its J4 bracket. With this bracket, the armrests are set back 20mm from the center of the base bar, and they're reversible for a more forward armrest position. It's also compatible with aftermarket risers in order to elevate the armrest while maintaining a desired wrist angle. Even better, it's not difficult to adjust. In fact, it's all done with a single bolt.
The T2+ bars are finished with Profile's F-35, EVA molded armrests. These are adjustable for width and reach ,which allows you to position them exactly where you need them.
The Profile Design T2+ Carbon Clip-On TT Bars fit both 31.8mm and 26.0mm base bars (with the included shim). Additionally, they're available in one size and in the color Black.

Before and after the Civil War, African Americans began leaving the South in large numbers. Many migrated to sparsely settled western states and territories, drawn by homestead associations and promoters who developed and marketed all-black towns as a symbol of black self-reliance. The majority migrated to western cities where, before World War I, the small size of black communities kept Jim Crow at bay.

PORT HEDLAND, Australia, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- People on Australia's west coast hunkered down Wednesday with slow-moving Category 4 Tropical Cyclone Rusty just 80 miles off shore.
The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said Rusty's winds were roaring up to 125 miles per hour near its center. The powerful storm, about 125 miles wide, was expected to still be at Category 4 when it hits land somewhere between Port Hedland and Pardoo sometime during the afternoon, the ABC said.
Forecasters predict Rusty will saturate parts of Australia with up to 24 inches of rain in a 24-hour period, the ABC said.
People living in the red alert area have been warned to take shelter or a prolonged period because the storm is moving forward so slowly.
"Unfortunately it's not typical of the cyclones we get up here, that take about 12 hours to cross, and we say goodbye to that one, and focus on the next one," Les Hayter of the Department of Fire and Emergency Services said.
"I really feel sorry for the people in red alert mode at the moment. This is going to be for a very long period of time."
Mike Bergin of the Bureau of Meteorology said Port Hedland will experience the equivalent of Perth's entire winter rainfall in just three days.
"It's going to be a long, protracted and quite dangerous experience," he said.

Not saying I want him, but, I never agreed with Hass being a short-route, timing QB. He did very well using his IQ to throw open long routes to Britt and Wright. We'll never know for sure, but I think the WCO eventually prohibited his strength, his football IQ.
Thats a total, "IMO".

U.S. Women's National Team Will Open 2014 Schedule on Jan. 31 against Canada at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas
Ticket information for the match will be announced at a later date.
The USA and Canada met once this year, a 3-0 victory for the Americans in front of a sold-out crowd at BMO Field in Toronto that saw Alex Morgan score twice and Sydney Leroux add a clincher.
"It's great to start the year with a game that is going to be a real test for us and a game that is always highly competitive," said U.S. head coach Tom Sermanni. "It's a friendly game, but one that's meaningful for both teams, and it's an excellent first match in a year that will end with World Cup qualifying. In 2014, it will be important to play as many quality opponents as possible."
This will be the third appearance for the U.S. Women at Toyota Stadium, and the second match there against Canada. The USA last played in Frisco on Feb. 11, 2012, in front of 20,677 fans that braved near-freezing temperatures to see Morgan score two late goals to pull out a 2-1 victory against New Zealand. The USA also played there in May 2007 in 6-2 victory over Canada.
The match should once again showcase the world's top two active goal scorers in Abby Wambach of the USA, who sits on 163 career goals, and Christine Sinclair of Canada, who has found the net 146 times.
Additional Notes:
- The USA has an all-time record of 46-3-5 against Canada.
- The two countries have faced each other in the last two Olympics, a 2-1 quarterfinal win for the USA in 2008 and a dramatic 4-3 semifinal triumph in overtime for the Americans in 2012.
- The U.S. team is ranked No. 1 in the latest FIFA Women's World Rankings while Canada is No 7.
- The USA finished 2013 with an unbeaten record of 13-0-3 and scored 56 goals while allowing 11.
- This will be the USA's 10th all-time match in Texas where it holds a 9-0-0 record.
- The USA's first appearance in Texas was a 9-1 win against Canada on May 19, 1995, at Franklin Field in Dallas and drew 6,145 fans, which was at the time the second-largest crowd ever to watch the U.S. team in the United States.

Have you ever read George Orwell's 1984? 'Doublespeak' is the new American mandate for success.
Do you really believe that those holding the reins of power know what is best for all the American people? Do you really believe they even care?

ABOUT SSRN: From The Desk of Michael C. Jensen, Chairman
SSRN's History and Structure
SSRN (the Social Science Research Network) was formally incorporated 17 years ago in October, 1994. It originated in 1992 as FEN (Financial Economics Network), the brainchild of Wayne Marr. Our vision was (and still is) to enable scholars to share and distribute their research worldwide, long before their papers work their way through the multi-year journal refereeing and publication process. We vowed to do so at the lowest cost possible for authors and readers.
Since 1992 over 179,000 authors have uploaded more than 381,000 papers and abstracts to SSRN's eLibrary. And our readers have downloaded over 50 million full text documents (currently running at more than 8.5 million downloads per year).
We founded SSRN as a corporate entity because we believed it to be the most efficient form. SSRN is a collaborative of over 1,000 scholars worldwide who contribute their services as Advisory Editors, Editors and Network Directors. SSRN does not take government grants or other subsidies, nor do we take capital from outside investors, eliminating a potential source of conflict with our authors and users. We are committed to doing our best to ensure SSRN never abandons its commitment to scholars and their readers, including ensuring that SSRN is not sold to a party that would abandon this commitment.
SSRN's OBJECTIVE
SSRN's objective is to provide worldwide distribution of research to authors and their readers and to facilitate communication among them at the lowest possible cost. In pursuit of this objective, we encourage authors to upload their papers to SSRN (without charge). And any paper an author uploads to SSRN is downloadable for free, worldwide. We allow publishers and other institutions to charge users for downloading papers they have uploaded to SSRN while encouraging them to charge fees that are as low as possible. Our rule is that the price for such papers on SSRN must be equal to or below the lowest price that such papers are available anywhere on the web to non-subscribers. The vast majority of papers in the SSRN eLibrary are downloadable at no charge. In addition, SSRN provides free subscriptions to all of our abstracting eJournals to users in developing countries on request.
SSRN earns revenue to cover its considerable expenses from the more than 400 institutions that outsource the distribution of their research papers to SSRN through SSRN's Research Paper Series, subscription fees for SSRN's subject matter abstracting eJournals, fees received for professional and job announcements, conference fees for SSRN's Conference Management System, and lastly from fees shared with SSRN by publishers who distribute their papers through SSRN on a pay-per-download basis.
SSRN reinvests all of the cash it receives after expenses, debt service and dividends, to enhance our services to authors and users. We spend in excess of $1,000,000 per year on system development and user support.
SSRN's COMMITMENTS TO USERS
SSRN is committed to providing authors and readers with the highest quality, most reliable services in the distribution of research. The 179,000 authors who have contributed their research to SSRN have trusted us with their intellectual output. We are committed to fulfilling that trust. We are scholars, and we respect, above all, our authors' rights in their material.
SSRN does not take copyright on any paper posted to SSRN. SSRN takes only a non-exclusive, revocable license (revocable at any time by the author or copyright holder) to distribute an author's work. We have never, and will never, behave opportunistically with our authors' material. That is our word and you can count on SSRN and each of us that help SSRN perform on its commitments to honor that word.
SSRN is continuing to expand and improve our services in many ways. The most recent new features are announced on the SSRN home page: http://www.ssrn.com
We have dramatically increased the breadth and depth of SSRN's research networks in recent years, having added 16 new research networks to our four founding networks (Financial Economics Network, Legal Scholarship Network, Economics Research Network, and the Accounting Research Network):
We have (at considerable expense) cooperated with Google and Microsoft's request to allow them to index SSRN's content so Google and Microsoft now provide additional windows into the SSRN eLibrary. We will continue to work with Google, Google Scholar, Microsoft and Bing to provide the best services possible for SSRN authors and readers.
We are grateful to the following institutions that provide mirror paper repositories for SSRN around the world:
· European Corporate Governance Institute (London)
· Korea University (Seoul)
· Stanford Law School (California)
· University of Chicago Booth School of Business (Illinois)
These paper repositories increase our response capacity and also serve as multiple backups to ensure that SSRN never loses its database of papers.
I invite all users of SSRN's services to write me at any time (email@example.com) to let me know what you like about our services and how they can be improved. Our users are a constant source of inspiration for our creativity and evolution. We invite you to join us in creating a new model for distributing research, to narrow the distance between authors, co-authors, institutional sponsors, and users and readers throughout the world. These are rapidly changing times in scholarly research and we are committed to creating a resource with the highest integrity, reliability, and functionality for disseminating research in the social sciences, worldwide and to do it now.
Finally I am pleased to note that SSRN has been recognized in July, 2011 for the third time as the Number 1 Open Source Repository in the world (out of 1,222 such repositories) repeating our Number 1 rankings in January, 2010 and January 2011, by Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC). You can view the rankings at: http://repositories.webometrics.info/toprep.asp

Cross Country 13th; Einterz All-American
November 20, 2010
Senior Seth Einterz ended his storied Wabash cross country career by running to 20th place at the NCAA Division III National Championships. His All-American effort helped Wabash finish 13th at nationals.
saved his best individual performance for his final collegiate cross country competition, racing around the 8000-meter Max Cross Country Course in Waverly, Iowa in 24:44.8 for his first sub-25 minute time of the season. He became the first Wabash runner to earn cross country All-America honors since the Three Amigos — Scott Gall, Jeremy Wright, and current Wabash cross country coach Roger Busch — all finished in the top-35 in 1995.
Kevin McCarthy just missed earning a spot on the All-America team for the second consecutive season. McCarthy finished in 38th place with a time of 25:00.5, his fastest effort of the season. Last year McCarthy
(below left)
was the top finisher for the Little Giants, grabbing 46th place with a time of 26:20.0.
Junior Brian David finished 92nd with a time of 25:24.4, easily topping his previous season-best time of 25:58.90 set one week ago at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional. Fellow junior Donavan White finished 115th with a time of 25:33, also a season-best effort.
Senior Justin Allen brought his cross country career to a close with a season-best time of 26:09.6 to finish 200th overall. Junior Kenny Farris took 242nd place in the field of 279 runners, crossing the finish line in 26:35.8, topping his previous season-best time of 26:43.30 set last weekend at the regional championship race. Freshman Jake Ponton ran a time of 27:21.5, eclipsing his best time of the year by less than a second to finish 267th.
The Little Giants, competing as a team at the nationals for the first time since 1998, scored a total 354 points to finish 13th in the 32-team field. Haverford won the team title with 87 points, while North Central grabbed second place with 104 points. Wabash was the top North Coast Athletic Conference team in the final standings, outdistancing Allegheny (15th; 395 points) and Ohio Wesleyan (27th; 688 points). Allegheny entered the championship meet ranked 17th in the nation by the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, while Wabash was ranked 24th. The Little Giants finished 17th as a team in 1998, with its best finish coming in 1995 with a third place finish.
Haverford's Andres Hulleberg won the individual title with a time of 24:22.2.

300 attending
Kenneth Christiansen
Fluxion (live)
Luke Hess (live)
Brendon Moeller (live)
10:00pm - 7:00am, 21+
$20 Discounted advance tickets - $40 at the door w/RSVP
You MUST RSVP to get address. Visit ErraticNYC.com to RSVP
**Location and details will be sent out the day of the event**
On Saturday, February 23rd, we proudly present our first event of 2013 and Erratic's biggest show yet –an exclusive label showcase celebrating "10 Years of Echocord Records." This is a rare and unique opportunity we have been curating for a while and includes 4 lauded headliners from across the globe: Kenneth Christiansen (Denmark – label founder and "Culture Box" club owner), Fluxion (Greece – USA debut), Luke Hess (Detroit), and Brendon Moeller (NYC). This will take place at a proper, underground location (boasting a booming four-point system), which will be announced the day of the event –RSVP on www.ErraticNYC.com to receive details and location.
Kenneth Christiansen is the founder of the acclaimed Danish brand purveying deep, dub, down-tempo techno for the past 10 years, Echocord Records (and its sublabel Echocord Colour). He is also the owner of the famous European club "Culture Box" (located in Copenhagen, Denmark), open since 2005 and currently considered an international hub as well as an institution in the global electronic scene. A DJ for over 20 years now, Kenneth grew up on the acid house and techno that was prevalent among illegal warehouse parties taking place all over the Danish capital throughout the late '80s and early '90s. There he developed the music appreciation he would later foster into two major outlets, a label and a dance-floor, right in his hometown of Copenhagen. After a decade of pushing this sound and hosting superior talent from all around the globe, Kenneth has garnished the admiration and respect of artists and peers alike. His DJ sets are always adventurous and emblematic of this sound, and the Erratic Podcast he did for us last year (Episode #22) is a testament to the reputation and stature he holds in the genre. On this night, he will perform a headlining, vinyl-only DJ set taking us on a journey through the last 10 years of dub history he has helped write.
Fluxion, hailing from Athens, Greece, is a truly superlative producer of delicate dub and experimental techno, whose output has been gracing for the past 15 years three of the most heralded imprints in the genre: Chain Reaction (one of Basic Channel's successors founded in 1995), Vibrant Music (Fluxion's own label established in 1999) and Echocord Records (est. in 2002). Over the last few years, this latter one has become home to five of his releases (including two integral albums –"Perfused" in 2010 and "Traces" in 2012), rendering Fluxion a cornerstone of the Echocord label. Both of these full-lengths received profound accolades and epitomize the esoteric art of acoustic experimentation – "a characteristic of slowly evolving parts, which form musical pieces over long periods of time, and where sounds are heavily processed, to such a point, that the origin of a sound has little to do with the result at the end of the process." Fluxion plays live and has yet to come state-side, so on this night he will make his USA debut delivering a special, peak-time set expressing what he feels through his improvisation approach and live acoustic experimentation.
Luke Hess is the new-wave techno star out of Detroit. Holding a sound engineering degree, his productions carry an exquisite dub undertone and are both deep and evoking. Luke is an exceptional electronic artist and has been releasing incomparable and emotive dub techno for the past 15 years on a dozen labels, the most influential being FXHE, Planet-E, and Echocord. His own imprint, DeepLabs, is consciously reserved (serving as a catalyst) for his deeply personal pieces. In 2009, he released his debut album "Light In The Dark" on Echocord, which rapidly amassed glowing reviews and was regarded as one of the best deep techno albums of the year –instantly becoming a landmark in his career. He has played both live and DJ sets all over the world and has showcased his talent in numerous appearances at his hometown's Detroit Movement Festival over the last 10 years. Luke's live sets are nothing short of exemplary and on this night he will be performing an exclusive one, suiting the occasion.
Brendon Moeller, originally from South Africa, is a distinguished dub techno producer who has been based out of New York City for the past 20 years. He holds an impressive and eclectic production repertoire, encompassing 8 full-lengths and innumerable EPs across over two-dozen labels; and he is the owner of his own imprint, Steadfast. His latest LP (released in 2012 on Speedy J's Electric Deluxe) received raving reviews and was accompanied by outstanding remixes from the likes of Ben Klock, Jonas Kopp, and Tommy Four Seven, establishing him as a high-in-demand artist and DJ. Brendon's unique and distinct sound permeates across all of his productions on Echocord (which span several years and multiple EPs) and his performances are a hybrid act between live and DJ. Having hosted Brendon before for an extended live set as Echologist, it is a pleasure to have him back representing the branded sound of the label. On this night, he will perform an exclusive late-hour live set that has seldom been showcased before.
Chanski, DJ, up-and-coming producer, and no stranger to Erratic, is a growing local talent whom we are very happy to have open this special show with his trademark sound of deep, dub, and hypnotic textures. He has a plethora of unreleased productions he has been working on lately and surely some of these will be tested on this night. Adding to the festive spirit will be his own birthday, so make sure you come early and celebrate it by enjoying the music he will be sharing.

|Sina Harriet Bellinger Kelly
Week 51 of the 52 Weeks to Better Genealogy, a series of prompts created for the geneablogging community by Amy Coffin of We Tree Genealogy, offers this challenge:
Think about the goals you want to accomplish next year and write them down. What research steps do you want to take? What records would you like to find? Think about the brick walls you'd like knocked down.
In August, I wrote a post called Getting to Know My Grandmother after having been inspired by Lisa Alzo's presentation on Finding Your Female Ancestors at the Midwest Family History Expo in Kansas City. Something she said still resonates with me: "Give voice to the stories of the silent women from our past."
It was then that I realized there wasn't a whole lot that I know about my grandmother, Sina Harriet Bellinger Kelly. I have memories of her, even though she died when I was just five years old. I want 2011 to be the year when I get to know her better.
To accomplish this, I will gather all the photographs I have of her. There aren't that many because she had a habit of cutting her face out of photographs! I am optimistic that reading through the microfilm versions of the Greenwood Gazette (Greenwood, Nebraska) at the Nebraska State Historical Society will yield some newspaper articles that might give me some insight to her daily life and social interactions. I will seek out a copy of the record of her marriage to my grandfather, William Leroy Kelly.
Since I wanted to change the look of LongLostRelatives.net for 2011, I changed the header. It was a conscious decision to put a photograph of 17 year old Sina Bellinger at the top of the page - as a daily reminder to me about the major research goal I want to accomplish during the year.

If you are running on a tight budget and simply cannot afford professional services, information is your trump card. Help yourself with a few tips on how to make your blog posts more likeable, kindly prepared by HTP, a prosperous digital marketing Manchester firm boasting an impressive track record (Granada Material Handling, Hilsonic, etc.).
The proper selection of key phrases and words dramatically affects the amount of readers you can attract. When composing an article, accentuate the associations that emerge when reading. These associations are the keywords and phrases that will be searched for on the Internet. Assess the submission of the reading audience and anticipate those phrases that they will enter into search engines. Otherwise your blog will not be found by potential customers. As an auxiliary service, take advantage of Google Keyword Tool.
Avoid publishing large posts. If a post or article is too large, the chances that the user will find the relevant information quickly and easily decrease. Therefore, you can quickly lose the audience not many are willing to pay close attention to huge articles (the majority may consider the affair to be time-killing). Continue reading

Celtic 4 Kilmarnock 1
An unlikely double from defender Adam Matthews helped Celtic to a commanding victory over Kilmarnock in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League encounter at Parkhead.
Killie teenager Ross Barbour thought he had squeezed the ball over the line in the 37th minute only for referee Calum Murray to wave play on, and the visitors' frustration was compounded three minutes from the interval when Hoops substitute Joe Ledley – on for Emilio Izaguirre – fired the hosts into the lead with a long-range drive.
Former Celt Cillian Sheridan levelled two minutes after the break before Matthews arrowed in a shot from 25 yards and, after Anthony Stokes – on for Kris Commons – grabbed a third, the Wales international sealed a convincing win from close range to take the champions 15 points clear of Inverness at the summit.
The only real downside for manager Neil Lennon, who got the response he wanted after his side were knocked out of the Scottish Communities League Cup by St Mirren at Hampden on Sunday, was the injuries picked up by Izaguirre and Georgios Samaras.
He will hope both will have recovered for next month's Champions League last-16 clash with Juventus.
Killie will feel they were denied the opening goal but Kenny Shiels' side, which included teenagers Barbour, Mark O'Hara, Jude Winchester and Rory McKeown and 20-year-old William Gros, in the starting line-up were well beaten in the end.
In an encouraging start by the hosts, Commons grazed the bar with a 25-yard free-kick in the ninth minute, his effort taking a deflection on the way over to win Celtic a corner which Killie defended.
Five minutes later, Samaras was sent through by Commons but the Greece striker let the ball run away from him and ended up hitting the side-netting as Killie keeper Cammy Bell raced out to block.
As Lennon's side stepped up a gear, Commons sent a drive from the edge of the box crashing against the bar before Bell had to stretch to save a low drive from Gary Hooper, the corner again proving fruitless for the hosts.
The next chance for Celtic came soon afterwards when Izaguirre whipped in a great cross from the left but most of Celtic Park groaned as Charlie Mulgrew headed over from barely six yards out.
The Honduran then went off after appearing to pick up a leg injury to be replaced by Ledley.
Seconds later, Barbour, under pressure from Mulgrew at the back post, appeared to help force the ball just over the line from McKeown's cross only to be left fuming when referee Murray failed to award a goal, presumably taking his cue from the linesman who kept his flag by his side.
Bell was soon to be tested again when he had to parry Hooper's drive and Killie's Mo Sissoko defended brilliantly in taking the ball off the toes of Samaras who was ready to knock the ball in.
However, that only delayed the breakthrough for the home side which came in impressive style when Ledley drilled in a 30-yard shot which gave the flailing Bell no chance.
A minute before the break there was more worry for Lennon when Samaras had to be replaced by Tony Watt after going down with what looked like a hamstring injury.
The second half began with a bang.
Sheridan drew Killie level in the 47th minute when he slotted in a cross from William, only for Matthews to restore the home side's lead three minutes later with a powerful right-footed drive from 25 yards.
Celtic went looking for number three and in the 61st minute, after Lukasz Zaluska had made a good save from Barbour at the other end, Commons over-elaborated when he was set up by Hooper and his chip from eight yards went wide of the target.
Commons then had a drive save at the second attempt by Bell before Hooper missed a sitter after Matthews had set him up six yards out with a great cross from the right.
In the 72nd minute the strangely listless Hooper again missed a good chance after being set up by Watt, the Norwich target dithering long enough to allow Bell to foil.
In the 76th minute Killie defender Jeroen Tesselaar burst into the Celtic box, taking the home side by surprise but volleyed just over the bar and was soon made to pay for passing up what was a good chance.
Celtic ran down the other end and, when Hooper set up Stokes, he calmly rounded Bell before sliding the ball into the net for his first goal of the season as he continues on his recovery from an ankle injury.
Stokes then turned provider when he crossed for Matthews to knock in from a yard out with seven minutes remaining and, with Killie limping to the end, there was still time for Hooper to crash a shot off the post.

we are all witnesses too, or in the path of financial fragility to some everything they have is being taken away, dogs left behind, mothers and fathers feeling as if they have failed their children and all because they believed in american dream. I live in this beautiful house on a hill that was built by a very talented visionary and now this man along with his brother have decided to tell a story of those who are not so lucky. The Gantz brothers have put in many, many hours to tell this story, an accumulation of many american families. I am asking and it is hard to ask yet when i look at what it is for, i know i must. Can you help this documentary that is almost at it's tail end of production, can you help make sure it gets seen and heard. I need you to know you can give as little as one dollar and yes of course that makes a difference, or as much as you are able too, or you can spread the word around via any social media.
dear friends let's all help tell this story, because it is story that belongs to our neighbors, family, friends, co workers and could easily one day be ours.
Please go here to see Trailer and contribute to AMERICAN WINTER.
i thank you for any attentions that you can bring to this cause.

Ah... one of the comforts of the winter is the warm kitchen.. the same kitchen that used to swelter me in the summer is now a warm hearth, making me find reasons to be there and cook even if there is food in the fridge. (Its 23F outside.. a scant -5 Celsius and I am so glad to be at home and not working outside.)
As Nigella Lawson said in her book, "How to be a Domestic Goddess"(A must flip through for all you aspiring goddesses)" I've always thought that bad weather has its compensations, most of them culinary." The book has pretty simple recipes for a starting off baker and more than that it is jolly wonderful to read her take on each recipe.
So I don't need another cookie or another cake, but that's what I feel like making.. if they don't have bread, let them eat cake.. but to stay practical, I opt for a chicken item instead...curry today..with peppers..and lots of onions..though not a gravy based curry..more a cry.
You will need:
Chicken-1 ½ lb, (700gm) cleaned and cut into small pieces.
Onions-2 or 3 medium sized ones sliced finely
Bell Peppers-2 green ones sliced thinly in strips( or use a mix of red, green and yellow)
Tomatoes-1 chopped into dices.
Hot Green chilies - 6 slit
Ginger–Garlic coarsely ground – 2-3 tsp
Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
Lemon juice-1 tsp
Red hot chili powder- 1 1/2 tsp (more or less as per taste)
Coriander powder-2 tsp
Garam Masala-1/2 tsp
Black Pepper powder- 1/4 tsp
Coriander, curry leaves- each a small handful, chopped
Salt - to taste
Oil-4 tbsp
Wash the chicken and lightly toss it with lemon juice and rinse again. Drain well onto a slotted drainer. Marinate with the turmeric,half the red chili powder, salt and lemon juice.
Heat the 2tbsp oil in a large shallow pan and add onions. When they are slightly transparent, add the peppers and continue sauteing. Add the slit chilies and curry leaves and stir. When the peppers wilt, remove most of the onions, all the peppers and keep aside.
Add ginger and garlic to the remaining onions, and saute. Add more oil if the mix looks dry. When the raw smell goes, add the tomatoes, remaining chili powder, coriander and saute till the tomatoes soften. Then add the chicken and cook uncovered on medium heat for 3-4 minutes till water comes out. Do not add any water: it will prevent the spice powders from getting cooked. Then cover and cook 10-15 minutes. The amount of time depends on the size of the chicken pieces. Smaller pieces cook faster.
Add more salt if needed and then add the pepper and garam masala. Check to see if the chicken is cooked. Now add back the onions and peppers sauteed earlier to the chicken and stir well. If there is no water, add 1/4 cup water and cook it covered for five minutes to let the flavors blend. Add the coriander leaves last, after switching off the flame. Let it rest covered for a while before serving.

Elaine Koster
Publisher with a knack for new talent
Elaine Koster, 69, a publisher and literary agent with a knack for new talent who gave a second chance to an obscure horror writer named Stephen King and took on an unknown Khaled Hosseini and his novel "The Kite Runner," died Tuesday at St. Luke's Hospital in New York, according to Hosseini's publisher, Penguin Group (USA). The cause of death was not available.
As publisher of the New American Library in the 1970s, Koster paid a then-enormous $400,000 for the paperback rights to King's "Carrie," which had sold poorly in hardcover, and was later credited with helping to make a blockbuster out of Erica Jong's "Fear of Flying."
In 1998, she started the Elaine Koster Literary Agency. Her most notable find was Hosseini, whose manuscript for "The Kite Runner" had been turned down by numerous other agents. Now, millions of copies have been sold.
Born Elaine Landis in 1940, she grew up in Manhattan and graduated from Barnard College in 1962. Besides working at New American Library, she was president and publisher of Dutton and worked with literary and commercial authors, including Joyce Carol Oates and Toni Morrison.
"Her ability to recognize well-written commercial fiction … as well as important literary fiction, was unparalleled," King, who had been working part time as a teacher when "Carrie" was first published, said in a statement. "She may have been the key figure in the ascendance of the paperback in the marketplace during the 1970s and 1980s."
Phelps 'Catfish' Collins
Funk guitarist played with James Brown's band
Phelps "Catfish" Collins, 66, an R&B and funk guitarist who was the older brother of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician William "Bootsy" Collins, died Aug. 6 of cancer at home in his native Cincinnati.
Catfish Collins played with James Brown's J.B.'s, Parliament-Funkadelic and in his brother's Rubber Band. The brothers backed up James Brown on classics such as "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine" and later joined Parliament-Funkadelic. They also performed on the soundtrack to the 2007 Judd Apatow comedy "Superbad."
Jack Parnell
Bandleader on 'The Muppet Show'
Jack Parnell, 87, a British jazz drummer who served as bandleader on "The Muppet Show," died Sunday at his home in Southwold, eastern England, after a yearlong battle with cancer, his family said.
As musical director at British broadcaster ATV from the late 1950s, he oversaw the music for the long-running variety show "Sunday Night at the London Palladium," produced specials featuring Tom Jones and Barbra Streisand, composed theme tunes and served as musical director of "The Benny Hill Show."
Parnell shared two Emmys for the 1974 TV special "Barbra Streisand … And Other Musical Instruments."
In 1976, ATV began producing "The Muppet Show," a musical variety show with a cast of Jim Henson puppets and celebrity guest stars.
Parnell conducted the orchestra for the whole of the series' five-year run, although the ostensible bandleader was the pop-eyed Muppet conductor, Nigel.
Dave Dixon
Helped bring NFL team and Superdome to New Orleans
Dave Dixon, 87, a businessman who worked to bring an NFL team to New Orleans and was the catalyst behind construction of the Louisiana Superdome, died Sunday in New Orleans. He had been ill since January, said his son, Frank.
Dixon, a New Orleans native, persuaded city officials to pursue a football franchise in the 1960s. He staged an NFL double header in 1963 at Tulane Stadium, drawing a crowd that nearly filled the 80,000-seat capacity. The city was awarded an NFL expansion team, the Saints, on All Saints Day in 1966.
Dixon immediately started thinking about a domed stadium. The Superdome opened on Aug. 3, 1975. But it wasn't until last season that the Saints, a perennial loser, brought home a Super Bowl victory to a city still recovering from 2005's Hurricane Katrina.
Katrina ripped off part of the Superdome's roof. It also failed as a shelter for the flooded city. Thousands of people who had nowhere else to go flocked to the stadium. Within days, the building was tattered, and filthy inside from mold, debris and raw sewage.
Over the next year, the Superdome was rebuilt. The Saints' success has played a role in helping the city by giving it something to celebrate.
Dixon, a wealthy antiques dealer, also worked with Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt to found World Championship Tennis. Dixon also conceived the idea for the United States Football League, which operated from 1982 to 1985.
Matthew R. Simmons
Leading proponent of the 'peak oil' theory
Matthew R. Simmons, 67, an energy investment banker and a leading proponent of the "peak oil" theory that contends the Earth is running out of crude, died Sunday when he accidentally drowned in a hot tub at his home in North Haven, Maine, officials said.
Simmons started Houston-based Simmons & Co. in May 1974 with a focus on the oil-services industry. The firm expanded to offer research, institutional sales and investment banking in the energy industry. Simmons promoted the idea that world oil reserves are peaking, and he explored the implications in a 2005 book, "Twilight in the Desert."
In 2007, Simmons founded the Ocean Energy Institute, a think tank and venture capital fund in Rockland, Maine, to promote offshore wind energy research and development.
Travis Harrelson
Renowned ukulele player
Travis Harrelson, 80, considered one of the world's best ukulele players, died Aug. 1 of cancer at his home in Seal Beach, said his son, Tracy.
Harrelson performed, taught and bought and sold vintage ukuleles.
His style of strumming, how he used his right hand while the left hand played chords, was "not only hard to imitate, it was hard to describe," said Jim Beloff, who produced "The Joy of Uke," instructional videos that featured Harrelson. "Seemed like you needed additional hands and fingers to do what he was doing."
Many of Harrelson's favorite guitar players were jazz musicians, his son said, and he tried to incorporate that style into his playing. Harrelson was a regular at local shows featuring ukulele players and performed with his late partner Don Wilson at several of former punk rocker Jonathan Richman's concerts. He and longtime friend Eddie Montana performed on the 2008 CD "Holy Ukuleles!"
Travis Miles Harrelson was born Aug. 15, 1929, in Long Beach to Finis and Lenore Harrelson. His mother loved Hawaiian culture (his sisters are named Aloha and Leilani), and Harrelson started playing the ukulele as a youngster.
He was a Navy aerial photographer during the Korean War and started a photo service business in Reseda in 1960. He also worked as a photographer for North American Aviation.
