Martin Luther King, Jr., A Global Inspiration
(HN, Atlanta, Georgia, 1/16/12) – Today the United States pauses to celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., an American clergyman, activist, and prominent African-American Civil Rights leader during the 1950's and 1960's. He is best known for being an iconic figure in the US and around the world, who used nonviolent protest methods and followed the teachings of Indian icon Mahatma Gandhi.
A Baptist minister, King became a civil rights activist early in his career by leading the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helping to found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he implored America to deepen its values to include the vision of a color blind society, and established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history.
In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other nonviolent means. By the time of his death in by assassination in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and stopping the war in Vietnam.
King was killed on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee at the Lorraine Motel by James Earl Ray at the age of 39. He was posthumously awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established as a US federal holiday in 1986.
"King had an impact on all mankind" (Perspective)
By Peggy Rodriguez
On Jan. 15, 1929, a baby boy was born in Atlanta to Michael and Alberta Christine King.
He attended school in Georgia's capital city and was able to enroll in Morehouse College after skipping a grade and completing his junior year at Booker T. Washington High School. The year was 1944 and this young man of humble beginning was only 15 years old.
His name was Michael King Jr. He and his father, Michael King Sr., both opted to change their names to Martin Luther after the religious leader who founded the Lutheran denomination in the 1500s. He spent the first few years of his college career majoring in sociology and was then ordained an associate pastor of his father's church in 1948.
While pursuing a graduate degree at Boston University, he met and married Coretta Scott. They had four children. In September 1954, he moved his family to Montgomery, Ala., where he became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. In the years to follow, he became very active in the civil rights movement and became a spokesman for nonviolent change.
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'"
These words, taken from arguably his most well-known speech, were delivered Aug. 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., during the March on Washington. This nonviolent protest in support of jobs and freedom for all Americans drew 200,000 people.
In 1964, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and named "Man of the Year" by Time magazine. This was the first time in history that an African American received this honor.
Upset by racial unrest, King announced a plan to implement a Poor People's Campaign. The idea behind this grassroots effort was to unite poor men and women of all walks of life and races in a campaign for economic rights.
To raise money for this campaign, King spoke in support of sanitation workers in Memphis in March 1968. The demonstration did not go well.
In turn, he planned a better organized Memphis demonstration for April 3. During that event, he gave a moving speech. As if he had some insight into his impending death, King delivered a moving speech stating, "Like anyone else, I would like to live a long life ... But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we as a people will get to the Promised Land. And I'm so happy tonight; I'm not worried about anything; I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
The next day, April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and killed outside his Memphis motel room. In the blink of an eye, this great man, who had dedicated so much of his life to ensuring equality for all of mankind, was silenced. So today, as we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, please be mindful of what this day is truly about.
Recall the impact that Martin Luther King had on mankind. Remember, "all men are created equal."
--- Peggy Rodriguez's Woodville column appears each Monday in the News Messenger at http://ohne.ws/y3YEls as did this commentary.
Some of Martin Luther King Jr's Globally Inspirational Quotes:
"Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better."
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
"I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood."
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."
"I want to be the white man's brother, not his brother-in-law."
"If physical death is the price that I must pay to free my white brothers and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit, then nothing can be more redemptive."
"It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society."
"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."
"The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers."
"Now, I say to you today my friends, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: – 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
"People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they have not communicated with each other."
"We must rapidly begin the shift from a 'thing-oriented' society to a 'person-oriented' society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered."
"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane."
"We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers."
"It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tired into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly."
"If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective."
"We are not makers of history. We are made by history."
"In some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty."
"When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact…that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance; We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters…"
"I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream — a dream yet unfulfilled."

At the time my wife told me that I had better find a hobby soon. She told me that when she and my daughter start to cycle together my life will be a living Hell! Soon after that conversation I found the sport to Kite Surfing. So much fun, and progression, kind of like a drug. When we went on vacation together is was just hanging out on the beach getting sun burned. Screw that I wanted to be active and do something. We started taking separate vacations I went kiting all over the place by myself and my friends. She always refered to it as "Stupid Kite Boarding".
Every time I would get on Kite forum she would give me shit about it saying "So whats going with your Stupid Kite Boarding friends.
Well on July 10th after 16 yrs of marriage she gave me an ultimatum: either I change (i.e. quite kite boarding) or we are getting a divorce......
I am currently single and living by myself and have been getting it really good at the coast lately.
During one of our last conversations she said "If it wasnt for stupid Kite Boarding we would still be together"
She just does not get it

***New rules for 2017 in red.***
1/9/2016 - Draft Version
CKRSCCA Solo events are conducted under Sports Car Club of America Solo rules. Additional rules specific to the CKRSCCA are listed below. Any additional judgments will be made using accepted customs established from the official's experience at other Solo events.
National SCCA Solo Rules and CAR CLASSIFICATION guide 2016 (draft)
LIABILITY RELEASE WAIVER: Notes regarding the liability release waivers.
REGISTRATION: Each driver must register to run on course. A valid driver's license must be presented at registration, along with proof of SCCA membership. All entrants must be an SCCA member through either a First Gear membership, regular membership, or weekend membership. Entry fee for registration is nonrefundable once the driver makes his/her first run.
Weekend membership cost is $15 in addition to the regular entry fee.
Competitors may enter each event only once (entrant may not enter an event in more than one Car Class).
- If you pre-register online using Motorsportreg.com and are an SCCA Member: $30
- If you register at the event ("walk-up") and are an SCCA Member: $35
*Entry fees are collected at pre-registration check-in and walk-up registration (not available at all sites). Entry fees can also be paid online when registering through Motorsportreg.com
**Entry fees reflect the price for the standard autocross events. Special events such as schools or test and tunes may be different.
CLASSES: Determination of the appropriate class to run in is the responsibility of the competitor. Tech inspectors verify car safety, they do not class cars. CKR will use Open classes as listed in the Solo Rule Book. Ladies Open classes will also be used. There is no Novice class. There will still be a novice walk-through at each event to help new drivers, but for simplicity and to help new members build up points for the season, we have chosen not to have a novice class.
CKRSCCA utilizes a special class known as the Road Tire Unlimited class (RTU). This is a regional only class. The purpose of this class is to allow some cars that do not fall into a normal Street Tire class to compete against other cars on street tires. Points will be based on the raw run times of each competitor. The PAX assigned will be the AM PAX of 1.0. Tires must be DOT-approved with a UTQG Treadwear Grade of 200 or higher.
CKRSCCA also offers a Test & Tune Class (TT). While results for this class will be printed and tallied, no trophies will be given for this class. TT only follows the SCCA rules for Safety. All other rules for the event also apply. TT will get no extra runs and will be assigned normal run and work heats.
CAR NUMBERS: Car class and numbers conforming to SCCA rules must be on the car at the time of tech inspection.
KM (Previously Formula 125): 100 and 125 cc Karts as listed in the Solo Rules book are legal in CKR on approved sites. Minor drivers (under 18) must have a driver's license unless the competitor is running in the Formula Junior class.
PAX: CKRSCCA uses PAX/RTP. OFFICIAL PAX INDEX
SINGLE CAR CLASS: A minimum of two cars makes a class. CKR does not use "bumping"; by the close of registration, if only a single entry exists in any class, this entrant will be grouped into a "Single Car Handicap" class to award trophies for that event, judging by the PAX index. However, year-end points will be awarded for each classed vehicle in their open class (since the definition of the Single Car Class includes cars with no other competitors of the same open class, each entrant will receive 1st place points for their open class.)
YEAR END CHAMPIONSHIP: Only CKR SCCA members or associate members in good standing are eligible for the year end Solo Championship. Non members may count results from two previously participated events as member entries when they submit their membership application. An SCCA member of another region can qualify for a CKR year end trophy by joining the CKR as an associate member (membership is $10.00 and like regular membership, a participant may count their two previously participated in points events toward the seasonal year end championship). A member must run a minimum of four points events in a class to be eligible for year end trophies. Year end trophies are awarded from points accumulated from a member''s best five points events in a class. This year we will have eight points events. The number of points earned at each points event is described below. This is the same point system utilized by the Great American Solo Series (GASS):
- Points/Event = 100 - [900 x (entrant's time - class winning time)/class winning time]
- DNF = 20 points
- DSQ = 0 points
Anyone who completes at least one timed run will receive a minimum of 20 points.
Tie breaker is as follows: The winner is the competitor with the highest score of total sum of scored points (not just the best four). This method favors a competitor's performance at more than just the minimal number of events.
POST SEASON CHALLENGE: This series will be scored over three events after the regular season is complete. CKR members and associate members are eligible for the challenge series.
- The first two events of the series will be qualifying events. We will conduct the events as normal fun events.
- The third event will have two heats....the first will be run normal fun event style and the second will consist of the shootout rounds to determine the series champion.
- The shootout rounds will be run using a 16 competitor bracket. To fill the brackets we will combine the PAX results of the first two challenge events and the top 10 will qualify for the shootout.
- The last six spots will be filled by random drawing. Competitors who have not qualified for the shootout will be able to enter the drawing at registration or opt out for the normal fun event heat one.
Shootout procedure:
- The bracket will be seeded as top 10 PAX then the 6 last chance qualifiers. Competitors will be paired 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15 etc.
- All qualifiers will take two runs during the first pairing with the fast time advancing. All subsequent pairings are single run elimination. The remaining 8 qualifiers will pair again with the top 4 advancing. Then the last 4 will pair with fast times advancing. Then the last two will pair for the shootout champion!
- At this point we will have a consolation round and the 13 drivers who were eliminated will have the opportunity to either stand on their fastest run of the day or risk it for a one run shot at a king of the hill consolation prize. This is to ensure all drivers get at least 3 runs.
- The goal of having this series is to extend competition later in the season. There will be trophies awarded for the top 3 as well as the king of the hill consolation prize.
TECHNICAL INSPECTION: Cars must be presented in competition condition: Tires changed, no loose material in trunk and interior. Car number and class must be legible and visible on both sides of the car, double entries must have only one number visible at any time on course (so you the driver on course can be identified). Nitrous Oxide systems are not permitted on the site (first time entrants will be given a waiver requiring disconnection of the system). Any car deemed unsafe to run by the technical inspector cannot run that day. This decision is final and cannot be appealed. However, if changes are made to the vehicle, it may be presented again at a later date to be inspected.
NOISE CONTROL: All cars are highly encouraged to have adequate mufflers. Your car must be quieter than 94dbA measured at 100 feet away. You will receive a First Warning if you car measures greater than or equal to 94dbA at 100 feet. You will be allowed to fix your car before your next run. A Safety Steward or Tech Inspector must approve your changes before you are allowed to run again. If your car measures greater than or equal to 94dbA at 100 feet again you will not be able to continue to race at that event. Please note you will not be refunded for the event. The Solo or Event Chair reserves the right to make final noise control decisions. If noise becomes an issue at any of the sites, CKR reserves the right to amend our noise rules at any time with notice.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: If a driver cause damage to CKRSCCA equipment during an event, the driver will be charged at minimum $100 up to actual cost. The driver will not be allowed to participate in any CKRSCCA event until payment is received. If equipment damage becomes an issue at any of the sites, CKR reserves the right to amend our policy at any time with notice.
HELMETS: Helmet must have Snell 2000 or later sticker. See this guide for exact acceptable decals. We have a limited number of loaner helmets. You must get your own helmet to use before each run, and must return it to the same area where you got it immediately after each run.
PASSENGERS: Competitors shall not be passengers or drive the course at speed prior to completing their competition runs during a points event. Novices are only allowed to have a passenger who is an experienced driver serving as an instructor. This instructor must be assigned by event officials. All passengers must be SCCA members or complete the weekend membership form. (NO FEE REQUIRED FOR WEEKEND MEMBERSHIP PASSENGERS) All passengers must be at least 12 years old. Competitors are allowed as a passenger prior to completion of their runs if they are serving as an assigned novice assistant.
DRIVERS MEETING: YOU MUST ATTEND THE DRIVERS MEETING. This is where you receive the run/work order and schedule. Special announcements for the day are discussed.
WORKING: ALL COMPETITORS MUST WORK. Run-work order will be announced at the driver's meeting, and work assignments will be announced by the worker chief just before the beginning of each heat. You must check in prior to working. Failure to work your assignment will result in disqualification.
TIMED RUNS: Will be scored regardless of dry or rain. The number of runs during an event may be changed due to time constraints or severe weather.
RE-RUNS: Are granted for timing malfunction, if red flagged, or stopping for an obvious safety issue without being red flagged. Re-runs for a previously downed cone are only granted if the competitor stops and points to the cone. If you continue your run past a downed cone, you don't get a re-run, and the cone may be added to your time.
TIMING RESULTS: All announcements and preliminary results are unofficial. The official results will be posted as Final. Protests against timing & scoring will not be accepted without firm evidence. If you have a timing problem, PLEASE don't attempt to enter the timing trailer. Instead, find an official who will relay your concern. Any decisions made by the Solo Chair or Regional Executive on the day of the event are final, unless an official written protest is filed.
SAFETY: THE ORGANIZERS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ENTRY TO ANY PERSON OR VEHICLE. Spectators must remain in designated areas. Anyone with a camera on course must be approved in advance by an official and be accompanied by an adult spotter (corner workers may not use a camera, and must stand during runs). Cell phone use on the course by workers, drivers or passengers is prohibited.
Course designers and the chief safety steward may take up to two safety runs together or separately to verify a course is safe for competition. These runs should not be at competition speed. Safety runs will not count against or in place of the regular competition runs for these individuals.
Any decision made by the Chief Safety Steward on a safety issue is final and cannot be protested.
WEATHER: The event may be delayed or cancelled for extreme weather. If so, the requirement to award trophies and points is that every car in a class has completed one run. Refunds only if an entire class can not complete one run. The decision can be made at anytime by the Chief Safety Steward to end an event due to inclement weather.
DISQUALIFICATION: The following are automatic disqualifiers
- Consumption of alcohol or drugs by an entrant, or anyone in their party, during the event.
- Burnouts, speeding, or any reckless or unsafe driving while not on course.
- Reckless or unsafe driving on course.
- Not reporting for your work assignment.
PROTESTS: For car classification, please see the SCCA Solo Rules for our policy and procedure. If you disagree with an official judgment, a written protest will be considered. This must be presented to the Solo Chair and identify specific items from the rule book.

If you're going as a mermaid this Halloween (and why wouldn't you be... everyone wants to be one these days, even Lady Gaga!), listen up. First, pin my recent mermaid wave tutorial. Second, find out how to create this gorgeous multidimenional eye look below. Hair? Check. Makeup? Check. You on October 31? Check!
Makeup artist Lauren Cosenza shows us how to mirror these mermaid-inspired eyes.
1. Highlight. With your foundation already applied and a wash of light pink blush swept over your cheekbones, reach for a loose pigment like MAC Pigment in Blonde's Gold" — like our model Kelly Thomas used here. "Then, pat the shimmering color onto your brow bone with a flat eyeshadow brush, and into the inner corner of the eye with a domed eyeshadow brush," says Cosenza.
2. Go green. "Apply the first of three shadows to the inner corner of your eye, using MAC Pigment in Emerald Green and applying it with the Lancôme Rounded Eyeshadow Brush in #23," she says. "This brush will help give you that ombré effect as you layer on each color. But with these green pigments, sweep them on only from the inner corner of your eye toward the center, staying below the crease."
3. Turn to teal. "Tissue off the slanted eyeshadow brush and dip the tip into the MAC Pigment in Teal," Cosenza says. "Then, press the color gently onto the center of your eye, brushing it toward the outer corner."
4. Be bold with blue. "Again, tissue off the eyeshadow brush to remove any green or teal residue, and using MAC Pigments in Naval Blue, apply the blue shadow to the outer corner of your eye, angling the brush to create that subtle smoky eye look," she says.
5. Line your lower lash line. "Starting from the inner corner, run Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencil in Junkie below your lower lashline to the midway point," Cosenza notes.
6. Trace your upper lash line. "Beginning at the outer corner of your lower lash line, run Clinique Quickliner For Eyes in Intense Midnight below the lower lashline to the midway point, and then blend the teal and navy liner shades where they meet in the center," she says. "Then, line the outer corner of your upper lash line only with the navy liner to add more definition."
7. Coat your lashes with mascara. Kelly used L'Oréal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara here.
8. Wear the heck out of this look like the gorgeous mermaid you are! For a more intense eye, instead of keeping the eyeshadow colors below the crease of your eye, bring them up closer to the brow bone for a more dramatic, Halloween-appropriate effect.

Perhaps it isn't newsworthy, but Bill Gates has characterized Microsoft's mobile and smartphone strategies as 'a mistake.' From the article: 'In an interview with CBS This Morning's Charlie Rose on Monday, Gates admitted he wasn't pleased with Microsoft's performance in the mobile market, going as far as to characterize the company's smartphone strategy as "a mistake." "We didn't miss cell phones," Gates said. "But the way that we went about it didn't allow us to get the leadership, so it's clearly a mistake.

WENHAM, Mass. – With a combined 14 hits including a two-run shot from Matt Consiglio (Southbury, Conn.) baseball (11-9) notched their third win of the week as they pounded Gordon College (7-13) for a 15-8 win Thursday afternoon at J Tec White Stadium.
Consiglio's homer marked the first of the year for the junior and the second in two-days for UMass Boston, as Jack DeBiase (Prospect, Conn.) crushed a two-run shot in yesterday's loss to Western New England University.
A slew of players stepped onto the diamond in Thursday's non-conference game. In total the Beacons bullpen featured six different players. Getting the victory was Matt Dziok (Southampton, Mass.) as the sophomore went 2 2/3 without giving up a run and only one hit. Every player that stepped on the hill recorded at least one strikeout with Ryan Augustine (Burlington, Conn.) posting a team-best five K's.
Also having a day at the plate for the Beacons was senior outfielder Mark McCormack who recorded two of UMass' five doubles. Jamill Moquette (Boston, Mass.), Charles LaPaglia (Marshfield, Mass.) and Mike Mattei (Spencer, Mass.) each recorded an extra base hit to help the Beacons earn at least one run in all but three innings.
UMass wasted little time ending the scoreless draw as they tacked on three early runs on RBI hits from McCormack, DeBiase, and Moquette. Gordon College would then got on the scoreboard in the third with two runs of their own to make it a one-run game.
LaPaglia's double in the third would give the Beacons their fourth run of the afternoon to push their lead back to two. However that lead would not last as Gordon would get three runs in the fourth off of one swing.
Down but definitely not out UMass scored nine straight runs in the fifth and sixth innings to make it 13-5. They would get their final two runs in the top of the ninth, while Gordon was held to just one in the eighth and two in the ninth.
Baseball returns to action on Saturday when they travel to Western Connecticut State University for a Little East Conference twinbill. First pitch is scheduled for noon.

Zimbabwe Votes on New Constitution
(HARARE, Zimbabwe) -- Voters in Zimbabwe turned out to vote Saturday for a new constitution that is being backed by both political parties.
The new constitution includes measures to protect free expression and reduces the powers of the president, among other reforms considered to be pro-democracy.
Zimbabwe has been entrenched in crisis since the 2008 election, which saw former opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai win the most votes, but refuse to participate in a runoff due to violence and accusations of vote-rigging on the part of the longtime ruler President Robert Mugabe.
Mugabe, 89, has been in power for over 25 years, and according to USA Today, the four most recent elections have been marred by violence. While the proposed constitution would limit his powers to some extent, critics say it doesn't quite do enough.
Additionally, critics say that because the voting date was not announced until about one month ago, the citizens have not had sufficient time to read and understand the 170-page document, according to the New York Times.
The main faction of the opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change, is urging its supporters to vote "yes" Saturday, calling the proposed constitution the best compromise that could be achieved at this point.
According to the Times, the results of the vote are expected by Friday. Citizens hope that if passed, the new constitution will be a step towards peace and and towards putting Zimbabwe, once among the most stable nations in Africa, back on a path to prosperity

You've got criminal law, and you've got civil law.
In criminal law, youv'e offended the gov't and
can be prosecuted. Under civil law, it's up to
the offended party to sue you, and show that your
actions resulted in loss, or were a breach
of contract etc.
The Internet, being new, has very little criminal
law prohibiting specific acts. If disputing parties
can work out their problems with civil suits,
there will be no need for additional laws.
Of course, by analogy, all normal, real world
criminal law already applies to the internet.
Things like theft, conspiracy etc are already
illegal. Portscanning though, I think they'd have
to sue you, unless gov'ts pass laws specifically
prohibiting it.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nasdaq OMX Group would definitely consider bidding for Euronext, the operator of the Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon stock exchanges, if it were put up for sale, Nasdaq's Chief Executive Robert Greifeld said in an interview.
"We would have to take a look at it," he said. "I'm not saying we would bid on it, but we would have to take a look."
Chatter that Euronext could be spun off from NYSE Euronext quickly surfaced after IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) made an $8.2 billion bid for the New York Stock Exchange operator in December.
Greifeld said if Euronext were to become available, it would not likely be until sometime in 2014, as it would take several months for the ICE-NYSE deal to close and then the two companies would have to begin an integration process. That scenario would be positive as at that point there may be more clarity on where the macro-economic environment in Europe is headed, he added.
"It would be a harder decision now to decide whether to bid on it than it would be 15 months from now," he said.
Germany's Deutsche Boerse has lost its appetite for buying Euronext, because regulatory and technological changes have made it harder to earn big profits from stock trading, three people familiar with the Frankfurt-based company's thinking told Reuters.
Deutsche Boerse has made three attempts at combining with Euronext since 2003. The final attempt, made in 2011, was shot down by antitrust concerns over creating a dominant player in European derivatives.
When the ICE-NYSE deal was announced, the two companies said they had told regulators in Europe that they would spin Euronext off through an IPO process if that would help the deal pass regulatory muster. But a source familiar with the situation said European regulators still had not indicated if they would prefer Euronext to be separated from a combined ICE-NYSE.
ICE's interests are in combining its derivatives business with NYSE's Liffe, Europe's second-largest futures exchange. Doing so would make it the top challenger to Deutsche Boerse's European dominance in derivatives.
While the spotlight has been on Liffe, Euronext, with its four markets, does more trading than the London Stock Exchange, Greifeld pointed out. "It's not an afterthought," he added.
ICE CEO Jeff Sprecher and Nasdaq's Greifeld have a strong relationship going back to their hostile $11.3 billion joint bid for NYSE Euronext in 2011. That bid, which came during Deutsche Boerse and NYSE's merger talks, was dropped due to opposition from U.S. anti-trust regulators.
Combining Nasdaq and NYSE would have brought together the top two U.S. stock exchanges, creating a virtual monopoly on listings and dominance in trading U.S. cash equities and options.
Greifeld said that he is not concerned about going toe-to-toe against a combined ICE-NYSE, because while his trans-Atlantic exchange has fierce rivalries with NYSE across a range of businesses, it does not really compete against ICE.
Still, he said Sprecher would bring a new element to NYSE.
"Jeff is probably the right person to bring the organization forward into modern times," he said, taking a jab at the Big Board operator.
Greifeld said he does not feel the need to go out and do an acquisition just because ICE and NYSE are combining, and that Nasdaq would be opportunistic in its acquisition strategy.
Nasdaq has diversified its revenue stream away from equity trading through a number of small- to mid-sized acquisitions, the latest being a binding offer for Thomson Reuters Corp's investor relations, public relations and multimedia services units for $390 million in December.

Health information technology has tremendous potential to improve health care and reduce cost while empowering patients to play a greater role in the management of their own care. From activity trackers to mobile apps to electronic health records, the availability of personal health data has disrupted established traditions in health care and created new commercial opportunities. These developments raise new questions about the privacy, security, and ethical implications of collecting and using such sensitive and personal information.
CDT advocates for increased individual control over health information, inside and outside regulatory protections, and for constructive technical solutions inside of companies.

In last week's post, I discussed how to access ASHA Journals on the web and how to stay connected to current publications by viewing abstracts in Google Reader.
The iPad is obviously a hugely popular device whose potential, I think, we are just beginning to glimpse. So when the iPad is added to this mix, what do professional development and research look like? How can the iPad move us past printing and marking up journal articles (for me at least, I haven't really processed something unless I have marked it up) and into digital learning and collaboration?
In the following video, I demonstrate on the iPad how to:
- Use Safari to browse and read journals (pretty much the same steps as our last post, but more fingers-on)!*
- Save journal articles to iBooks for later reading and organization into collections.*
- Annotate journal articles in iAnnotate PDF using the highlighting, underlining, drawing, and text annotation tools.
- Share your annotations with colleagues for collaboration and research.
*Note: these two steps work the same way for iPhone/iPod Touch! iAnnotate PDF is iPad-only, but GoodReader is a similarly well-regarded (and a bit cheaper) app that has different versions for all iDevices.
This has been a fun process for me, learning about Journals 2.0. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I have!

Apple's various CPU divisions had a big day last week, and not to be outdone, the company's peripheral-designing groups are letting the Apple Multiple Scan 15 Display and the AppleDesign Keyboard out into the world. Both products are shipping now, though Apple says the higher education market will get first crack at the monitor.
The Multiple Scan 15 Display is a more affordable addition to Apple's line of multi-resolution monitors, with an Apple Price of $505. It sports a 15-inch flat, square screen, and supports 640 x 480 to 832 x 624 resolutions on Macintoshes (up to 1024 x 768 on PCs). The monitor complies with MPR II electromagnetic emissions standards, and the EPA's EnergyStar conservation guidelines, and includes a tilt-swivel base, stereo speakers, front-panel headphone jack, and a zoom control that enlarges the displayed image into the black border area around the edge of the monitor.
The AppleDesign Keyboard, bundled with the Performa 570 series since April, replaces the Apple Keyboard II as a less-expensive keyboard option, with an $85 Apple Price. It has a 105-key layout, complete with function keys and a numeric keypad, much like the Apple Extended Keyboard II, but it has a two meter ADB cable permanently attached.

Sister Carrie
"A Strangely Strong Novel
in a Queer Milieu"
Rare Book & Manuscript Library
University of Pennsylvania
Photograph proof of Dreiser
New York, 1900
|One hundred years ago the first novel by American journalist and editor
Theodore Dreiser was issued by Doubleday, Page & Co. At the outset the work was
primarily distributed to and read by book reviewers. Among the mixed reactions printed
in the initial year of publication came a prophetic analysis by William Marion Reedy in
the St. Louis Mirror; it was entitled "Sister Carrie: A
Strangely Strong Novel in a Queer Milieu" (3 January 1901). Although he admits that
the novel is neither "nice" nor "nasty," Reedy identifies one of the enduring powers of
Dreiser's tale: "the strong hint of the pathetic in banale situations which is
more frequent than often imagined." In a review dominated by plot summary and
frequently acknowledging Dreiser's uneven craft, Reedy always returns to his own
captivation with Dreiser's remarkable blend of veritism and art: "at times the whole
thing is impossible, and then again it is as absolute as life itself."
Sister Carrie remains vital for many reasons: as an historical marker for the turn away from sentimentality, romance, and moral rectitude in the American novel at the brink of the twentieth century; as a text that influenced--pro and con--succeeding American novelists over the next several decades; and as a conundrum that never ceases to provoke debate for readers both general and professional. While the first half of the twentieth century produced a diverse range of critical opinion on Sister Carrie by reviewers and essayists, the second half has been witness to an abiding argument within academia regarding the quality, value, importance, and interpretation of this signature text.

Understand that the above limits your freedom as your one year visa ties you to your school legally, so if you have any problems you are stuck there. i.e you turn up at the airport wishing to leave for any reason you will be prevented from leaving until you have the exit stamp permitted from your school (of course this is worse case scenario). I have travelled worked in Indonesia but only visited Thailand, but I have several friends working there at present, the current understanding is that Thai bureaucracy (spelling?) is a nightmare. Impossible to answer your questions regarding costs as this depends on the individual. If you like the girls & the beer you'll be working just for your weekends - if you like to travel and are prepared to go native (with a little of the aforementioned) you'll be fine in both places You should find price comparisons elsewhere on this forum.

As for...being kind of chained by the work permit, I suppose that it is a catch -22....in other words.....it is a pain..if things are not so good at the school....but....it is great if things go well at the school, because I will not have to be cruising to wherever to get a new visa every few months. I really gave Thailand alot of thought......I don't know....maybe it was the "six different answers to the same question" rountine from gov't officials that freaked me a little about Thailand.

Visit.. sure. For me, anyway, I much prefer Indonesia. To each their own. Your stomach will be fine. There's lots more to eat than just fried (a.k.a goreng). It's easy to get around in Indonesia, people are much more open and friendly than the Thai's. As was mentioned before by someone, do make an effort to learn the language, it will go a long way. The one thing I found about Thailand is that you have to be careful. That place has a way of sucking the life out of you. You get to a point in your life that waking up on the beach in a puddle of your own puke after a full moon party just isn't 'cool' any more. All too often you'll see 40 year old expats that look 60 with dreads picking up 14 year old prostitutes who haven't come to that revelation yet. I was never part of that scene, but lots of people get wrapped up in it. You can get anything you want there in terms of drugs,sex, booze. Cheap and easy and too much of a temptation for a lot of people. Thailand is pretty cool apart from that though, but I still like Indonesia much better.

Zombie a 'sequel sell-out' with 'Halloween II'
Rob Zombie's transition from scary heavy-metal maven to slash-and-splatter movie maker is completed with Halloween II. The director of House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects is so mainstream he's a sequel sell-out now. No wonder he's moving on to "creature features" — he announced this week he'll remake The Blob.
But, frankly, we have a right to expect that he'd have picked up tips on how to create suspense on screen by now. Apparently, he thinks he's the new Dario Argento — the Italian guru of gore. Halloween II has shades of the artsy-fartsy — pretentious, capital "S" symbolism and zero characterization or suspense. Yes, we all need a lesson in what seeing a white horse in your dreams means to psychotherapists. But, dude, rent some Hitchcock. It's not the wholly expected "sudden" stabbing or the graphic, sound-effects-assisted decapitation or impaling that gets us. It's the chase, the rising terror at what the victim (and the viewer) fears is coming. H2 picks up the story with an extended "later that night" sequence following up on the carnage of Halloween. Zombie shows us, graphically, what machetes, axes and butcher knives do to a human body and how — if you have insurance — the medical system might treat those thus traumatized. But is Michael Myers dead? Apparently not, as Laurie (Scout Taylor-Compton) is chased out of her trauma ward bed, across the rainy parking lot to "safety" with the security guard.
"My name is Buddy. It's going to be fine."
Of course it isn't. And of course Laurie wakes up just as Michael is smashing his way in to get her. Again.
A year has passed, and Halloween approaches. The lost "body " of Michael Myers has been laying low, eating wildlife and dogs and fantasizing flashbacks to when he was a disturbed kid and his dead mom was there to comfort him. She's still comforting him, with her white horse.
The former leader of White Zombie cast his wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, as Michael's mom. She's still waiting for that call from Inside the Actor's Studio.
During a couple of brutal nights of unprovoked terror, Michael works his way back into Haddonfield for another "final" shot at killing Laurie and other scarred victims of his last rampage.
A cute touch — Malcolm McDowell returns as Michael's surviving shrink, Dr. Loomis, this time out pushing a book he has written to cash in on the tragedy. Zombie hurls the indignities of "marketing yourself" at Loomis — sharing a talk show couch with Weird Al Yankovic, signing books for drooling mass-murder fanboys.
The script is generic, save for some pained and painfully obvious attempts at "funny" improvisation. ("Sheriff" Brad Dourif tries to decipher the origins of "I'm starvin', Marvin" for his daughter and Laurie.)
And every so often, the bad actress with the white horse shows up and "calls" to Michael or Laurie or her husband for another close-up.
Zombie has a sense of humor (Weird Al, and look for Margot Kidder as Laurie's therapist). He has an eye, and an ear for old rock and pop tunes — he beats The Moody Blues' Nights in White Satin to death here. But story, character and editing really fall down in this one. It's not even as scary as his Halloween remake, and that one was perfunctory, at best.
He's not the new Argento, or even the new John Carpenter (who also remade The Blob). With Halloween II, Zombie shows conclusively that he's not interested in growing, getting better or ever becoming an original. He's just a hack with a made-up name, a cult following and a wife who can't act.

In the Ubuntu terminal I find myself spending considerable time to switch to a particular directory every time the computer starts up. Is there some way I can make this process easier? Is there some hotkey or some quick directory change that I can use (like speed dial on a phone)?

Commissioner André Cox, a Swiss-British Salvation Army officer, was elected as the 20th General of the Christian church and charity. The election took place at the High Council, which saw 117 of The Salvation Army's senior leaders from around the world gather just outside London for the sacred task of choosing the next international leader.
General Cox shares his ministry with his wife, Commissioner Silvia Cox, who is the World President of Women's Ministries. Together they will lead the 1.5 million strong world-wide church of The Salvation Army.
The 59-year-old General has vast experience of the international ministry of The Salvation Army. In the early years of his Salvation Army officership, General Cox held appointments in Switzerland and Zimbabwe. More recently he has served as the territorial commander in the Southern Africa Territory, the Finland and Estonia Territory and the United Kingdom Territory with the Republic of Ireland. In February 2013 he was appointed as Chief of the Staff – second in command of the international Salvation Army.
On being announced as The Salvation Army's 20th General, the new international leader told more than 10,000 people from around the world watching via a live webcast that he was thankful to God but aware of the 'awesome task that has been placed upon our shoulders'. He continued: 'I pray that The Salvation Army will be known for being a force for good in the world … that The Salvation Army will be a force for positive change and transformation in the communities in which we serve … [and] that Salvationists will live up to the spiritual values we proclaim.'
The Salvation Army gives hope and support to vulnerable people today and every day in 126 countries around the world. To learn more about The Salvation Army international, please visit http://www.salvationarmy.org/ihq/.

Hi, I'm Mitchell Peck ...Hollywood's ONLY screenplay consultant with a track-record of proven successes on behalf of aspiring screenwriters at the movie studio level.
Let's improve your script, professionally.
Why Hollywood Embassy?
If you're an aspiring screenwriter who is...
- FRUSTRATED with Hollywood companies that won't read unsolicited scripts
- TIRED of anonymous, formulaic coverage that doesn't give you specific suggestions for improvement
- SKEPTICAL of "script gurus" who don't have any produced movie credits themselves

Andrea Marks
Producer/Co-Director, Freedom on the Fence
Freedom on the Fence is a 40 minute documentary about the history of Polish posters and their significance to the social, political and cultural life of Poland. The film examines the period from WWII through the fall of Communism, and captures the paradox of how this unique art form flourished within a Communist regime.
The documentary contains interviews with older and younger generations of poster artists, examples of past and current poster work, historic and current film footage of where and how the poster is viewed, and commentaries from both American and Polish scholars and artists on the significance of the Polish poster as a cultural icon.
Freedom on the Fence has been screened at several film festivals and was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, as part of an exhibit of Polish posters.
Andrea Marks is happy to present the film with a lecture at your venue. Interested parties are encouraged to use the Contact form to reach her.
