We can shoot some new scenes and insert the required changes, and because we work in a digital enviroment there is no quality loss. The new shots blend in perfectly with the old.
If you have recently requested a quotation for the production of a 3-minute corporate profile on your company, you were probably shocked at the budgets required to make your vision come true.
Your film is captured, edited and duplicated in-house. Production costs can be kept to a minumum.

The Economist asked several experts to recommend options for resolving Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two failed mortgage giants.
In addition to comments, the magazine's web site allows users to recommend responses they like. It's hardly scientific, but since the rankings (as of 9:15pm eastern time) work to my favor, let me rank them in declining order of recommendations:
My co-author Phill Swagel (a whopping 13 recommendations) describes our joint proposal for fully private GSEs that purchase an explicit backstop from the government for their mortgage-backed securities. Pros: The relationship is explicit and transparent, taxpayers are compensated for bearing risk, the portfolios are eliminated, the government backstop will soften severe mortgage meltdowns, and competition can discipline the Fannie and Freddie duopoly. Cons: There are still risks from the remaining government role.
Larry Kotlikoff (11 recs) outlines another proposal to restructure the companies into more sensible private entities. His model: mortgage mutual fund companies.
John Makin (7 recs) wins the award for brevity, arguing that they should be liquidated over 5 years.
Mark Thoma (4 recs) suggests a continued role for the firms, as long as they face much tighter regulation.
Tom Gallagher (4 recs) proposes putting them back on the federal budget as real agencies. This avoids some potential pitfalls of having them run as private companies.
P.S. As an anonymous commenter helpfully points out, the entries over at the Economist have these newfangled things called "dates" associated with them. Not sure how I missed that. The two highest scorers are also the oldest. Also, I must confess that I clicked the recommend button on Phill's piece, lifting it to 14 votes. Because of some weird interaction between Safari and the Economist site, however, that resulted in it believing that I recommended all five pieces. Ah the perils of technology.

Former Buckeye and current 76er Evan Turner is sporting a Marcus Hall-inspired shirt in anticipation of Ohio State's game against Michigan State later tonight.
That's a pretty solid shirt for a Buckeyes fan, but here's an example of the dangers of selfies with words on your clothing. It actually says "OHIO" even though the camera flip makes it look like something a british guy might say when trying to get the attention of some gardening equipment.

text: Best lossless ripping for Mac 2012-05-01 21:33:42 Hi,I've done a lot of searching on this topic and links keep pointing to this forum, so I believe the people here know their stuff. I apologize if this has been already addressed. I see similar questions and threads but not one for my specific situation. A lot of the data out there also seems to be very subjective, overwhelming and/or confusing. I also apologize for all of the info but I want to be thorough. Objective: Rip CD collection in highest quality possible to lossless format (as yet undefined).Factors:~ I'm on a Mac and from what I've read XLD is the best option for accurate rips.~ I want to be able to tag my files with Artist, Track name, etc. and want compatibility with iTunes without plugins or workarounds, so FLAC is not an option for me.~ My music is mostly electronic and hip hop (not sure if this makes a difference when choosing the lossless format or conversion settings).~ Larger file size is not a concern for me. Quality is. HD space is cheap.~ Many of my CDs are mixed, i.e. gapless. Purpose:~ To have the highest quality digital backup possible. Many of my CDs are rare or irreplaceable promos. A few are also older and have begun to degrade. I want to convert everything now in the best quality I can so that I can save my music indefinitely.~ After the CDs degrade more I need another source as close as possible to the original. Therefore I want to have lossless files that I can listen to or use whenever I need to create a lossy (MP3) version for my iPhone. Questions:~ When trying to convert some CDs in iTunes, some tracks were not converted at all because the CDs were degraded (no scratches, just old). I am hoping XLD can use error correction to "fix" these issues. Does XLD do this kind of correction?~ I have heard ALAC may not be a good choice because of a theoretical "jitter" issue which compromises quality. Is this true?~ Assuming AIFF is the best choice based on the factors above, what would be the best settings? I see a lot of tutorials for FLAC conversion but not for AIFF. When I checked the Wiki page comparing lossless formats I also did not see any AIFF reference there.~ XLD has an option that says somethign about C2 error pointers (if your dirve supports this). How do I know if my drive supports this?~ If you rip a gapless CD to multiple lossless tracks and then later convert those lossless files to mp3, can you join the tracks as one file when converting to mp3 so that you can remove the gaps? I've had problems playing gapless albums as multiple tracks in mp3 format on my iphone.Thanks!

****ing Ind-Eng game has screwed my score. Woke up so late after watching the match till 9.00 am that I couldn't make changes for yesterdays games. Now gone back to 567 rank. ****.
****ing Ind-Eng game has screwed my score. Woke up so late after watching the match till 9.00 am that I couldn't make changes for yesterdays games. Now gone back to 567 rank. ****.
well there's really no excuse for that
what you should have done was made your changes during the England India match and they would be pending changes that would automatically change once the match was over and the scores were updated
I'm now in 128th place with 122 changes remaining, that's after the 10 changes I've already made for the 2 matches tomorrow.
Up to 15th with 114 left.
marc71178 - President and founding member of AAAS - we don't only appreciate when he does well, but also when he's not quite so good!
Anyone want to join the Society?
Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
Is there any way of changing tactics so that i have 5 batsmen and 1 all rounder instead of the 6 batsman? Iv seen other teams that have been able to do it but cant see an option on mine?
All teams have 6 batsmen, where did you see all-rounder specified? That would be labelling issue.
Moderators - email@example.com (will go to all moderators)
Email/Hangouts - firstname.lastname@example.com
look at xander's main team Cricket Web's Fantasy Cricket - Logged Out in this league. I thought there may have been an option. thanks for clearing that up
Thanks, I'll get that fixed up
yeah that's just labelling. I have to choose 6 batsman the same as everyone else, but when I've made my choices it labels them as "openers" "batsmen" "all rounder" "wk" and "bowlers"
I've finally managed to crack the top 100, in 94th spot at the moment. I've made 5 changes for the Aus vs SL match which brings my remaining trades down to 117.
Hopefully Watson does well again and not many people ahead of me have him as captain.
I'm trying to keep my nerve and hold trades in reserve for later on. Down to 497th, but have 142 left.
Cricket Web's current Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"Ben Stokes, that most unlikely saint, worked the second of the two miracles he needs for his canonisation." - The Guardian's Andy Bell on the England all-rounder's Headingley ton
Tricky balancing act. Glad I didn't make too many for today's washout.
I made 9 trades today because I see myself making very few for monday's game.
currently 205th with 5500 points and 105 modifications left
managed to get all the big name batsmen in there for tomorrow by going for G and F rated bowlers for canada and kenya
anyone risked any players for today? iv gone for 4 and so far so good. over 100 points

Dear Bay Weekly:
Thank you Margaret Tearman. "What Goes Around Comes Around" [Jan. 3] was a wonderful, happy news story. I didn't even know there was a day dedicated to paying it forward. It's always good to hear about kind and unselfish acts for a change.
Editor's note: Bay Bridge toll collections manager Cathy Noone was featured in the story as an intermediary between giver and receiver in paying bridge tolls forward.

During these hot days of summer, I offer one small way each of us can conserve more water.
Just doing various, everyday activities, the average person in the United States uses 100 to 123 gallons of water per day, according to the Water Research Foundation. Flushing the toilet uses the most amount of this water.
Water consumption also is high on the list. Are we drinking too much water? Asking that might be a bit lighthearted considering what friends and family are experiencing with fire evacuations around our state. Right now, all of us are at our maximum stress level, so here is one item you no longer need to stress about. Recommendations now are to drink to thirst that means you should not drink just for the sake of drinking. Instead, you drink an amount of fluid to replace what you lose by doing activities. Yes, at this high elevation and 98-degree temperatures in our semi-arid desert, more liquid than usual is required, but maybe not as much as we thought.
An editorial in the June issue of Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health looked at why we consume so much water. The author, Spero Tsindos, believes that encouraging people to drink more water is driven by vested interests rather than a need for better health.
Thirty years ago, you didnt see a plastic water bottle anywhere. Now they appear as fashion accessories. As tokens of instant gratification and symbolism, the very bottle itself is seen as cool and hip, Tsindos wrote.
What happened to using tap water and glass? There are other ways to satisfy our thirst.
Drinking things like tea and coffee do contribute to a persons fluid needs and do not lead to dehydration. Also, unprocessed fruits and vegetables can certainly provide a substantial amount of fluid up to 20 percent of total fluid needs. This is not to say that it is a bad idea to consume 64 ounces of liquid daily, but that recommendation was never scientifically proven. Of course, we need fluids, but do we really need to buy cases of bottled water or carry water with us everywhere?
The bottled water industry and the health culture of drinking more water has become lucrative. Instead of buying those cases of bottled water, try tap water. Numerous studies have found that tap water is safer than bottled water because of government standards and monitoring requirements. Bottled water is governed loosely by the Federal Drug Administration, but water systems must meet EPA restrictions.
More health professionals are recommending drink to thirst (for the average person), though sweetened beverages might not be the beverage of choice. Electrolyte drinks are not recommended and, in fact, are inadvisable because they contain so much sugar and chemicals, which are not as thirst-quenching as you would need. For example, one bottle of a popular sports drink contains the equivalent of 12 of 17 teaspoons of sugar in one bottle.
So how much is needed to maintain proper hydration? Monitor the color of your urine throughout the day it should be pale yellow like lemonade or try pinching the skin on the back of your hand. If it doesnt immediately fall back in place, have a drink. With age, the sense of thirst diminishes, so extra attention using these two techniques would be helpful. Another gauge is how often you urinate. Experts say if you are adequately hydrated, you should urinate every two to four hours.
I will do my part to accept drinking less water which will lead to flushing the toilet less and having more time to do other essential things.

500 feet beneath the ocean's surface, the U.S. ballistic missile submarine Colorado receives their orders. Over a radio channel, designed only to be used if their homeland has been wiped out, they're told to fire nuclear weapons at Pakistan. Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) demands confirmation of the orders only to be unceremoniously relieved of duty by the White House. XO Sam Kendal (Scott Speedman) finds himself suddenly in charge of the submarine and facing the same difficult decision. When he also refuses to fire without confirmation of the orders, the Colorado is targeted, fired upon, and hit. The submarine and its crew find themselves crippled on the ocean floor, declared rogue enemies of their own country. Now, with nowhere left to turn, Chaplin and Kendal take the sub on the run and bring the men and women of the Colorado to an exotic island. Here they will find refuge, romance, and a chance at a new life, even as they try to clear their names and get home. From executive producer/writer Shawn Ryan (The Shield, The Unit, The Chicago Code) and Executive producer/writer Karl Gajdusek comes this dramatic new international action-thriller about treachery, treason, and nuclear brinksmanship. LAST RESORT contemplates establishing of a new society in the modern world, and character becomes everything when unthinkable decisions must be made.

Eurocopter's EC145 has been a popular aircraft in both the military and public service sectors. But Ron Pratte, a businessman and helicopter pilot residing in the Phoenix area, had one of the twin-turbine aircraft built for his own personal use. His EC145, which is on display at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Conference and Exposition in Las Vegas, was built in 2009 for a different customer.

However, Pylon Aviation of Chandler, Ariz. acquired it on behalf of Pratte, and coordinated its retrofit to his specifications. Metro Aviation installed the avionics, and Arizona Aircraft Interiors completed the cabin. Doug Jeggers, a custom automobile painter, applied the EC145's exterior scheme.

Warsaw's mix of baroque palaces, communist blocks and new glass skyscrapers can seem a little alienating at first, but stick with it and you'll discover an often beautiful city whose recovery since almost total destruction in World War Two is one of Europe's great success stories.
Centred on a baroque market square, Warsaw's Old Town was immaculately reconstructed after wartime bombardment, while to its south the Śródmieście district contains streets filled with cafés and cool bars (often hidden discreetly within courtyards) and the Palace of Culture's striking Stalinist wedding cake-style tower. Warsaw's excellent cultural scene is also a draw, including state of the art museums dedicated to the history of Polish Jews and to onetime Warsaw resident Chopin. For a break from high culture, the raw, edgy Praga district across the river Vistula has hip bars and clubs in old warehouses along 19th century ulica Ząbkowska. Beyond the city, Warsaw's suburbs give way quickly to quiet forests. Easy to reach from Warsaw are the woodlands of the Kampinos National Park, Chopin's manor house birthplace at Żelazowa Wola and the renaissance town of Kazimierz Dolny.

If Your Child Has Type 1 Diabetes—What He or She Needs To Know
How much do children need to know about their diabetes?
First, they need to know that it is not their fault that they have diabetes—nothing they could have done would have prevented it. They need to know that with help from you their healthcare providers, they can manage their diabetes and live healthy, active lives. Treatment depends on your child's age and maturity. Some children can learn to measure and inject their own insulin by early adolescence. But it is recommended that parents and caregivers share responsibility with their children for insulin injections until puberty is over, usually by mid-adolescence.
Every child is different in his or her capacity to cope with the demands of diabetes, but all children need and deserve their parents' help and support well into the teenage years. Before you give your child the responsibility for measuring and injecting insulin, remember that this is a serious and complex matter. Your child needs to be mature enough to handle the job, and generally, children are not capable of having sole responsibility for insulin injections until they are older adolescents.
How about checking their blood glucose? Children need to understand the rationale for regular checking, whether or not they can do these checks themselves. Most important, they need to learn the symptoms of a "low blood glucose reaction" (also called an insulin reaction) and how to take appropriate action. Later, as they begin to appreciate the overall goals of diabetes treatment, they will want to accept a greater role in their care. In fact, children quickly learn that maintaining good health is the ticket to joining their friends in every day activities.

U.S. authorities are pledging to eventually produce enough swine flu vaccine for everyone but the shots couldn't begin until fall at the earliest. Worries about the spread of the virus mounted as the nation's swine flu caseload passed 100, and nearly 300 schools closed in communities across the country. Federal officials had to spend much of the day reassuring the public it's still safe to fly and ride public transportation after Vice President Joe Biden said he wouldn't recommend it to his family.Clinics and hospital emergency rooms in New York, California and some other states are seeing a surge in patients with coughs and sneezes that might have been ignored before the outbreak.
Scientists were racing to prepare the key ingredient to make a vaccine against the never-before-seen flu strain – if it's ultimately needed. But it will take several months before the first pilot lots begin required human testing to ensure the vaccine is safe and effective. If all goes well, broader production could start in the fall.
"We think 600 million doses is achievable in a six-month time frame" from that fall start, Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary Craig Vanderwagen told lawmakers.
"I don't want anybody to have false expectations. The science is challenging here," Vanderwagen told reporters. "Production can be done, robust production capacity is there. It's a question of can we get the science worked on the specifics of this vaccine."
Until a vaccine is ready, the government has stockpiled anti-viral medications that can ease flu symptoms or help prevent infection. The medicines are proving effective.
Reassurances from top health officials didn't stop the questions from coming.
An estimated 12,000 people logged onto a Webcast where the government's top emergency officials sought to cut confusion by answering questions straight from the public: Can a factory worker handling parts from Mexico catch the virus? No. Can pets get it? No.
And is washing hands or using those alcohol-based hand gels best? Washing well enough is the real issue, answered Dr. Richard Besser, acting chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He keeps hand gel in his pocket for between-washings but also suggested that people sing "Happy Birthday" as they wash their hands to make sure they've washed long enough to get rid of germs.
Although it is safe to fly, anyone with flu-like symptoms shouldn't be traveling anywhere, unless they need to seek medical care.
The swine flu outbreak penetrated over a dozen states and even touched the White House, which disclosed that an aide to Energy Secretary Steven Chu apparently got sick helping arrange President Barack Obama's recent trip to Mexico but that the aide did not fly on Air Force One and never posed a risk to the president.
So far U.S. cases are mostly fairly mild with one death, a Mexican toddler who visited Texas with his family – unlike in Mexico where more than 160 suspected deaths have been reported. Most of the U.S. cases so far haven't needed a doctor's care, officials said.
Still, the U.S. is taking extraordinary precautions – including shipping millions of doses of anti-flu drugs to states in case they're needed. The World Health Organization is warning of an imminent pandemic because scientists cannot predict what a brand-new virus might do. A key concern is whether this spring outbreak will resurge in the fall.
The CDC confirmed 109 cases Thursday, and state officials confirm 22 more. Cases now are confirmed in New York, Texas, California, South Carolina, Kansas, Massachusetts, Indiana, Ohio, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware, Maine, Colorado, Georgia and Minnesota.

Olivia Culpo
Former Miss Universe
Olivia Culpo Bio
On June 3, 2012, Olivia Culpo was crowned Miss USA 2012 at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 20-year-old cellist of Cranston, Rhode Island became the first titleholder from her state to capture the crown.
The middle child of five children, Olivia decided to compete for the title of Miss Rhode Island USA on a whim. With determination and a passion for performing on stage, Olivia captured her state title in a $20 "Rent The Runway" dress that was too short and had a tear in the back. Her road to the crown continued in Las Vegas where she wowed the judges in a purple Sherri Hill dress and a poised response to the twitter question regarding transgender contestants.
Both of Olivia's parents began their professional lives as musicians and raised her in a musically rich surrounding. She began studying the cello in the second grade and from there participated in the Rhode Island Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, RI Philharmonic Chamber Ensemble, Bay View Orchestra and Rhode Island All-State Orchestra. Olivia also won a seat in the Boston Symphony Hall, Boston; Carnegie Hall, New York City; and a tour of England in 2010. Until recently, Olivia was performing with the Boston Accompanietta.
Olivia, who has called herself a "nerd," graduated with high honors and a member of the National Honor Society in 2010 from St. Mary Academy Bay View. Throughout high school, Olivia's love for Italian language gave her the opportunity to take part in two foreign language programs in Milano, Italy. As a sophomore at Boston University, she has been placed on the Dean's List almost every semester. Olivia will place her education on hold while performing her duties as Miss USA for the next year.
An admirer of Audrey Hepburn, Olivia keeps a journal of the actress's quotes and even resembles the classical beauty. Shortly after being crowned, Olivia serenaded her press conference attendees while singing one of her favorite Audrey Hepburn songs, "Funny Face," from the 1957 film. The day after her win, she arrived in New York City where she will reside as Miss USA. During her reign, Olivia will serve as a spokesperson for breast and ovarian cancer and will work closely with organizations such as Susan G. Komen for the Cure and Gilda's Club. She will also work with the USO as part of the Miss Universe Organization's dedication to supporting our troops.

Hedge fund manager John Paulson famously became a billionaire during the financial crisis by shorting, or betting against, subprime mortgages.
Effectively, he bet against the housing market.
But now he thinks that buying a house is "the best deal investment you can make."
Paulson expressed this earlier today at CNBC's Delivering Alpha conference.
One of the reasons why he believes a house is attractive is because mortgages are just so cheap.
"Today financing costs are extraordinarily low," Paulson said during the interview with CNBC anchor Melissa Lee. "You can get a 30-year mortgage somewhere around 4 and a half percent."
"The cost of owning is somewhat less than the cost of renting. And if you rent, the rent goes up every year. But if you buy a 30-year mortgage, the cost is fixed. So I think it, you know, is still a very attractive investment."
However, Paulson was speaking specifically for owner-occupiers. In other words, people who would actually live in the homes they were buying.
"To buy it as an investment and rent it out, I'm not so enamored with that concept," he said.
During last year's Delivering Alpha conference, Paulson expressed similar thoughts.

Over 50 and Looking for Love? New Dating Site for the Older Crowd
(NEW YORK) -- Mention AARP, and most people think of Social Security, Medicare, senior discounts but not love.
Now the group is now getting into the dating business, launching an online dating channel, and an online dating site for the over 50 crowd.
"AARP wanted to get into the game because, one, we know isolation is a very big issue for our members as they age," said Nataki Edwards, vice president of digital strategies and operations at AARP.
Edwards says a quarter of the group's 37 million members are single, and many have been asking the organization to help them link up with others. "It's not necessarily about getting married," Edwards told ABC News. "It's about the companionship and having fun things to do with someone else."
AARP's new venture is not the first dating site geared toward older Americans. It'll be competing with OurTime, which bills itself as the premier online 50+ dating service. AARP is partnering with HowAboutWe.com, which believes in getting people out on dates early on to see if they hit it off rather than spending a lot of time getting to know each other online, only to find there's no chemistry when they meet in person.
Edwards calls it "dating like they used to date." That appeals to Shelley Kilburn, who describes herself as a "54 year old SWF (single while female)." Kilburn likes the idea of meeting face-to face, telling ABC News, "When you talk to someone in person you get a better image or feeling, you have that ability to use … that sixth sense." Kilburn, a former news colleague, has been divorced for five years. The Southern California resident hasn't tried online dating yet but says she might gravitate to an AARP site because for her the group has a trustworthy "history and reputation, [so] I would be comfortable."
Carol Siflinger agrees, writing in response to a Facebook question about the new site, "It is a great idea! I would hope singles going to this site would be of a better caliber than "meat market" sites! For those 50 and older, trying to date again can be daunting.
"It's not so easy for people because many of them haven't dated for 30 years or more," said relationship expert Pepper Schwartz, who's written extensively on sexuality. Pepper, who is also AARP's Love and Relationship Ambassador, says online dating can be especially unnerving.
"Honestly, I think most of them go kicking and screaming. They wouldn't do this if there was another option." Schwartz, who is 67, met her fiancé online. "It's not easy: you have to work at it. You have to be resilient."
Of course, Schwartz adds, that's not necessarily age-related. "Whoever found dating easy," she says, "even when they were younger."
Looking for a companion online worked wonderfully for Becky Hedlund Lemaire, of Breaux Bridge, La., who met her husband of six years through an online service. She says no matter which dating site you rely on, it's important to take safety seriously. "Always meet in public," says Lemaire. "Don't give out personal information, and make sure someone knows where you are going to meet."
AARP has tips too for the more mature dater, suggesting you don't spend the first date talking only about your children or grandchildren, or your aches and pains. The organization says its new online dating channel will help with dating advice.
Those popular senior discounts will come into play too. AARP is offering a seven-day free trial, then half-off the dating service price for its members. AARP's Edwards won't be using the new service, because "I am married myself." However, she's laughs, "I have sent it to every single friend that I have who is looking."

Constructed of black powder coated painted 16-gauge steel for heavy-duty security.Heavy duty color matching arm rests provide comfort while driving. Separate lockable security compartment holds your valuables. Includes dual adjustable front cup holders to fit all sizes of cups and bottles. Available in (11) Gray Denim, (15) Black Denim or (17) Spice Denim.
Bolts would not fit through console pre drilled hole Bolts 3/8x7 long to hold 20 lbs?
This console is very durable and strong, however it has some serious flaws. The fit is way too tight for the space between the seats. This is 2" wider than the OEM console. The tight fit interferes with the seat belts, lifting the lid of the console and the forward and rear tumble of the passenger seat for entry into the back seat. It is a two-man operation to move the passenger seat. The worst problem is with the cheap lockset. I have had two locks fail on me through regular use. The problem may be with the circular key design. While that may be more secure, the bearings in the lock have failed locking my garage opener and my radio faceplate in the console twice. I am returning to 4WD Parts to exchange for another manufacturer's console.
This item is way too wide for the application would barely fit between the seats and rubbed when putting the seat up. the straps for the seatbelts weren't long enough and the one side wouldn't even bolt on.
Is the console lined or just powder coated

Hey Dave, the Smittybilt Security Floor Console, Spice would just be powder coated steel. Please let me know if you have any other questions, thanks.

WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department said Tuesday that it planned to sell the government's stake in some of the 218 mostly small banks that still have not repaid bailout money received during the financial crisis.
The sales, beginning as early as next month, will take place through 2013 as the government tries to finish winding down the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, also known as TARP.
Last week, Treasury sold its remaining shares of insurance giant American International Group, formally ending that controversial bailout. The Treasury made a $5 billion profit on its portion of the complex, $125 billion bailout of AIG. The Federal Reserve earned a $17.7 billion profit on its part of the rescue.
The 218 banks remaining in TARP owe a combined total of about $8 billion.
"Of course, TARP was always meant to be a temporary, emergency program," Timothy Massad, assistant Treasury for Financial Stability, said in a blog post.
"The government shouldn't be in the business of owning stakes in private companies for an indefinite period of time," he said. "That's why, after we extinguished the immediate financial fire, we began moving to exit our investments and replace temporary government support with private capital."
About $245 billion of the TARP money was pumped into 707 banks to help stabilize the financial system in 2008 and 2009.
Most of the money went to large banks and has been repaid, and that part of TARP — called the Capital Purchase Program — already has made a profit.
So far, the Treasury Department has collected about $268 billion from repayments, along with dividend payments and other income that came from the injections of money. Banks were required to pay a 5 percent dividend on the TARP money for the first five years, with the figure jumping to 9 percent after that.
But many smaller banks have had trouble repaying their TARP money, and some have missed their dividend payments. In order to close down the program, Treasury officials have said they would sell some stakes at a loss if necessary.
Massad said that because Treasury cannot force banks to repay and some are not expected to be able to repay in the near future, "there is no way to wind down the program without Treasury selling its investments in certain banks."
Treasury said it expected to sell its preferred stock and other interests in 53 of the remaining 218 banks starting as soon as late January.

#7 RPI - 6, #4 Farmingdale State - 5
Auburn, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State baseball team fell, 6-5, this afternoon to RPI in the 2013 NCAA New York Regional. The Rams have been eliminated and finished the year with a 29-15 record.
Tied 2-2 in top of the fifth, the Rams led off the inning with a Justin Steigerwald (Holbrook, N.Y.) walk and took a 3-2 lead with a one out RBI single to left center by senior catcher Eric Wiener (Deer Park, N.Y.). In Farmingdale State's next at-bat, sophomore second baseman Mike Scarlato (Holbrook, N.Y.) singled to left, before senior left fielder David Zilnicki (Riverhead, N.Y.) walked to load the bases. Sophomore shortstop Anthony Alvino (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) put the Rams on top 5-2 with a 2 RBI single through the right side.
RPI answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth and tied the game at 5-5 in the eighth inning as sophomore Tyler Listing (West Sand Lake, N.Y.) walked with the bases loaded. Sophomore Adam Kalish (Clifton Park, N.Y.) gave RPI a 6-5 lead with an RBI sacrifice fly to right field.
Farmingdale State was unable to score the game-tying run in the ninth as RPI advanced with a 6-5 victory.
Wiener was 1-for-3 at the plate with two runs scored and an RBI, while Alvino had one hit and two runs batted in. Senior starting pitcher Anthony Eilers (Bay Shore, N.Y.) threw 5.1 innings, allowing no earned runs on five hits.

The Indianapolis News/1911/05/31/Harroun Only One Sure of His Place
Contests by Drivers May Upset the Semi-Official List of Race Winners.
Declared by Some They Were Allowed to Run More Than 500 Miles and So Lost Money.
It developed today that there probably will be changes in the list of winners in the five-hundred-mile international sweepstakes race at the motor speedway, yesterday.
Until 3 o'clock this morning the officials, including representatives of the speedway, A. R. Pardington, official referee; S. M. Butler, chairman of the contest board of the American Automobile Association; Charles W. Sedwick, Indiana representative of the A. A. A.; men in charge of the timing device and the adding machines, in addition to the scorers, worked over the records at the Claypool hotel, and then resumed the work later today.
Harroun Sure of Place.
The officials say there is no doubt that Ray Harroun, in his Marmon Wasp, won first place, but there is much uncertainty as to the standing of the others in relation to the semi-official returns given out from the judges' stand while the race was drawing to a close.
The positions of Ralph Mulford and Bruce-Brown, announced as winners of second and third places, respectively, may be reversed it is said. The three leaders in the race at the finish were far ahead of the other cars.
As the timing arrangements were excellent, there is no doubt that the officials can straighten out what now seems to be a tangle, but it will require much work to check up the records, including those of the dictaphones, the adding machines, the timing machine and the other methods by which the score was kept. The officials say there is no possibility of a mistake after the records are properly tabulated. This means, however, that in order to ascertain the correct standing of the leaders all the laps records of the forty cars that started in the race will have to be checked up from beginning to end.
Complaint as to Laps.
There is complaint from several of the drivers that they ran their cars one or more laps after they had made the two hundred laps necessary to complete the five-hundred-mile race, and that while they were running these extra laps, other cars finished ahead of them, according to the semi-official scores. According to O. W. Sedwick, possibly this was done, but he added that a revision of the scorers' records would leave no doubt as to the accurate standing of the winners.
Ten prizes were offered in the race, aggregating approximately $40,000, and at the close of the contest, twelve cars were announced in the list of winners, the reason for including the eleventh and twelfth being to have two extra cars on the record in case of protest.
Semi-Official Winners.
An idea of the magnitude of the work of checking up may be gained when it is taken into account that each of the forty cars were tallied on every lap they completed. The majority finished more than 150 of the 200 laps in the full distance of five hundred miles. The semi-official list of the winners that was announced from the judges' stand at the close of the race is as follows:
Driver and Car. / Position. / Time.
Harroun, Marmon / First / 6:41:08
Mulford, Lozier / Second / 6:46:46
Bruce-Brown, Fiat / Third / 6:51:28
Wishart, Mercedes / Fourth / ...
De Palma, Simplex / Fifth / ...
Merz, National / Sixth / ...
Turner, Amplex / Seventh / ...
Cobe, Jackson / Eighth / ...
Belcher, Knox / Ninth / ...
Hughes, Mercer / Tenth / ...
Frayer, Firestone-Col / Eleventh / ...
Anderson, Stutz / Twelfth / ...
Racing men who have attended all the great speed events of Europe and America were unanimous in their opinion that the 500-mile event the greatest by far in automobile history. The last fifty miles was a struggle for supremacy between Harroun, Mulford, Bruce-Brown and Joe Dawson, whose car failed him in the last lap.
Leaders Close Together.
Harroun held the lead throughout the latter part of the race and maintained a speed of between eighty and eighty-five miles an hour. Mulford and Brown drew close and for miles less than a lap separated the flyers. Joe Dawson, who made a poor showing in the earlier stages of the race, made a sensational drive for about fifty miles and gained fourth position, only a little more than a lap behind the three leaders. By a tremendous burst of speed Dawson passed Harroun and found himself in the same lap with the three leaders. Dawson, however, was just entering the lap as the leaders were completing it. The struggle was nerve stirring, and the thousands in the grand stands and bleachers were on their feet waving and shouting frantically nearly all the time.
The admirers of Dawson believed he was about to make a spectacular finish when within five miles of the end. Then his car was seen to check up and Dawson rolled up to the pit with a tire gone. He had completed 199 laps at the time and had only to circle the course once more. However, the stop put him out of the running for either of the first three positions and his friends consoled themselves by thinking that he would drive around once again and accept fourth place.
Loses to the Mercedes.
The nearest competitor of Dawson at the time was Spencer Wishart, in a Mercedes, who was many miles in the rear. Dawson got a new tire and started out to complete his last lap just as Harroun scored. Dawson continued around the track and then seemed to disappear on the north turn. His friends wondered what had become of him.
Mulford and Brown finished, and the other flyers on the track passed the tape, time and again. Finally Wishart got the checkered flag and it was announced that he was fourth place in the race.
Then De Palma and Merz finished in order and still Dawson did not appear. It was found that some small obstruction on the track had struck Dawson's radiator and let water flow out. A few seconds later the car "stuck" and in spite of Dawson and his mechanician's efforts they were unable to get it started. The metal that broke the radiator was supposed to be a bolt dropped by another racer.
While Dawson labored frantically, the other racers whizzed by and finished the race leaving the young pilot alone with his "dead" car. The same ill fortune prevented him from winning the last Vanderbilt Cup race. At the Vanderbilt classic Dawson stopped and lost six minutes investigating an accident in which a man was injured and then finished a few seconds behind the winner.
Merz Took No Chances.
Charles Merz, the Indianapolis man at the wheel of National No. 28, won sixth place in the race by following plans which he made before the event. Merz, who figured in a tragic accident at the speedway two years ago, told his employers he would enter the race and drive consistly without taking the chances that characterized his work in former races.
He said if the other drivers wished to risk their lives every moment he would let them win. Merz followed his plan to the end, and there was hardly a time when he seemed to be in danger. By driving consistently he saved his tires and he had less trouble of this kind than almost any other driver.
Howard Wilcox, at the wheel of National No. 21, finished the race in thirteenth place, although the officials only counted the first twelve cars and stopped the race when the twelve finished. Wilcox, however, was close behind and he crossed the line a few seconds after the last driver saw the checkered flag.
Johnny Aitken, the other National driver, went 280 miles and was making a good showing when a broken connecting rod under his car caused him to withdraw.
Steady Grind Wearing.
The steady grind told on the machinery of many of the racing cars, even more than on the drivers, as was shown by the fact that only about half the forty cars that started were running at the finish. However, in the last hundred miles, the officials were busy trying to keep a correct record of the ten prize winners and the eleventh and twelfth cars in the race, and consequently almost lost sight of those that were far behind, but still in the running.
An example of the tenacity the drivers displayed was the case of Bob Burman, who stuck gamely to the finish, notwithstanding that he was many miles in the rear. It was generally conceded that the speed king had more tire trouble than any other driver. This, in a measure, was due to Burman's taking the curves at full speed. Frequently a tire would be wrenched from a wheel and he would make the rest of the circuit on the rim before stopping at his pit for repairs.
Time and again Harroun had narrow scrapes when tires burst, but his nerve was not shaken. Once he crashed into the wall on the south turn, glanced off, skidded down the incline, righted his car and continued the whirl around the track minus the tire on his right rear wheel.
Twenty-Five Cars in at 400 Miles.
At four-hundred miles twenty-five cars remained in the race and all of them, with some three exceptions, were on the track when the checkered flag was waved to halt Harroun. The cars were: Mulford's Lozier, Dawson's Marmon, Bruce-Brown's Fiat, De Palma's Simplex, Wishart's Mercedes, Turner's Amplex, Merz's National, Cobe's Jackson, Gil Anderson's Stutz, Hughes's Mercer, Wilcox's National, Endicott's Interstate, Hall's Velie, Knipper's Benz, Bigelow's Mercer, Beardsley's Simplex, Frayer's Firestone-Columbus, Belcher's Knox, Adams's McFarlan, Burman's Benz, Tower's Jackson, Endicott's Cole, Delaney's Cutting, and Fox's Pope-Hartford.
Even when the drivers saw they were hopelessly distanced they continued on in an effort to make as good record as possible. The act of remaining in the race was a good card for all of them.
The semi-official time of Ray Harroun was 6:41:08, and his average was 74.62 miles an hour for the entire distance. To drive at this speed it was necessary to drive at a speed of between eighty and eighty-five miles an hour much of the time to make up for the minutes lost in changing tires and getting fuel.
Bumbaugh-Lieber Craft Gets Stingy Glances From Crowd.
While the drivers were speeding around the brick course during the five-hundred-mile race at the Indianapolis motor speedway, Captain G. F. Bumbaugh, and a party of friends, started a balloon voyage from the field in the center of the track. The balloon was one that Bumbaugh built for Albert Lieber, of this city, and the voyage was the first.
There was a light wind in the northwest and when Bumbaugh released the balloon it rose slowly and drifted away. It was a pretty spectacle, its easy, graceful flight being a strange contrast with the performance of the machines on the track below. But the racers held the interest and the balloon floated away with little more than parting glances from the thousands.
The ascension was made about 4 o'clock, and after a trip of about twenty miles, the balloon was brought to earth in Hendricks county. A Mais truck followed the balloon party, and it was nearby when the balloon descended. The truck was used to haul the balloon and the members of the party back to the city.
Dickson Well Known at Mishawaka.
[Special to The Indianapolis News.]
SOUTH BEND, Ind., May 31—Samuel P. Dickson, the mechanician of the Amplex car, who was killed during the Indianapolis speedway race yesterday, was well known in this city and at Mishakawa, where the Amplex factory is located. Arthur Greiner, driver of the machine, who was injured in the accident, was also well known here. The two men were last in the city together transacting business for the Amplex factory. The dead mechanic is well spoken of by officials of the automobile company. Though he had never driven in an important race, he had served as mechanician a number of times and was expected to become a driver. Dickson was twenty-four years old and a Chicago man. His father was Major M. E. Dickson. He was in the employ of J. F. Wise Company, of New York, eastern agents of the Amplex car.

The definition of our geographic region as the 1200-mile vertical stretch from Point Conception in Southern California to the southern tip of the peninsula of Baja California has significant importance for the San Diego Natural History Museum as we approach the 21st century. We find ourselves faced with challenges as a territory of immense biodiversity with numerous fragile, endemic, and endangered species; as an area experiencing phenomenal population explosion and growing environmental pressures; and as a cross-border, multicultural region.
Our region—the second longest peninsula in the world—is unique. That uniqueness is attributable to our geologic history—the moving geological tectonic plates that result in earthquakes and fault lines and mountains, rivers and watersheds, beaches and deserts. No wider than 60 miles, the peninsula surrounds the Sea of Cortés and its many islands. The varied geology, abrupt terrain and multiform landscapes are responsible for the biological diversity, which in turn is reflected in the rich cultural diversity we see today. The complex interaction between a fragile nature and growing human land-use has resulted in the environmental challenges that we face today and will confront tomorrow.
Few places show the incredible environmental heterogeneity of our natural region. The regional climate ranges from Mediterranean-type winter rains in the north, to monsoon-type summer rains in the south. Dramatic vegetation gradients, generated by mountain slopes, range from coastal scrub to chaparral to temperate forests to dry desert in the northern portion of the region. A rare form of tropical deciduous forest occupies the lowlands of the Cape Region, in the southern part of the peninsula. Temperate ecosystems with pine and oak, which have evolved in extreme isolation and are composed mostly of rare and endemic species, appear in the sky-island mountains.
The isolation in which the region has evolved has generated an inordinately rich biological complexity and an extremely high number of plant and animal species found here and nowhere else. Not only does our region sustain one of the topmost levels of biodiversity in all of North America, it is also one of the most sensitive and challenged areas of the continent, with the largest number of threatened or endangered species.
Recent economic growth and development in our region have been redesigned away from the defense industry and toward the biotechnology and high-technology industries. The maquiladora industries in Tijuana, the high-input crops in the agricultural valleys, and the booming tourism industry are all powerful driving forces of economic and demographic growth. Economic development proceeds at an accelerated rate compared to the rest of Mexico and the U.S.
The relative success of the regional economy has brought a large demographic increase to the region, mostly derived from immigration. Currently the most populated area along the border, the San Diego/Tijuana region has an ethnically diverse population of about four million, with anticipated growth of 49% by 2015. Driven by the attendant rapid increase in demand for resources, the region is confronting a series of environmental threats, primarily uncontrolled urban sprawl along the Mexico-U.S. border; exhaustion of underground aquifers; replacement of native vegetation by weedy exotic species; increased recreation and tourism in the fragile deserts and islands; degradation of estuaries and coastal lagoons; and unsustainable commercial fishing.
Both the Mexican and the U.S. governments, and the conservationist non-governmental organizations, have developed actions to protect the rich and increasingly endangered ecosystems of our region. The peninsula now harbors 11 natural protected areas on the Mexican side. In the U.S., a comprehensive series of reserves and wildlife refuges protects ecosystems from the Pacific coast to the mountains, and to the Anza-Borrego desert.
Efforts have been also developed to promote the sustainable use of natural resources. The governors of the four Mexican States surrounding the Sea of Cortés have signed an agreement to pursue a joint program for the sustainable use of the gulf waters. San Diego County is currently implementing the Multiple Species Conservation Plan (MSCP), seeking a balance between economic growth and environmental protection. Developed jointly by real estate interests, environmentalists, governmental agencies, and elected officials, the MSCP aims to preserve habitat rather than focus upon individual endangered species. Involvement by the city, county and local jurisdictions is yielding appropriation of funds for land acquisition and management to set aside regional parks. The discussions around MSCP have brought to our region an increased awareness of the importance to take urgent action to protect the environment.
As we enter this new century, our residents must prepare to meet the challenges critical to the future of our region, such as population growth, limitation of resources, habitat preservation, and pollution of air and water, to name but a few. The region is one large continuum, with shared watersheds, species, and natural resources that do not recognize a boundary line. These realities of our region have great importance for our Museum, as one of the largest natural history museums near the international border. To foster discussion and initiate collaborative action it is critical for the Natural History Museum to work now to promote true cooperative work between Mexican and U.S. research and conservation groups, as the protection of these unique environments in our region is of the utmost importance for the survival and well being of all of us, for generations to come.

JeepSpeed: Race Your CherokeePosted in Events on May 1, 2002
Just about every freshly licensed teenager has taken Moms Volvo out for a wheeling trip. Maybe it was burnouts in your buddys front yard, airtime at the local 7-Eleven speed bump, or power slides on the dirt road to grandmas house. If you were lucky, you had a local mud pit that you and all your friends tried to cross in Mom-mobiles. As adults we havent changed much, except we dont have to explain to Mom why theres mud on the car with some cow-in-the-road story.
If youre like us and still havent grown up, you might like the rough driving and competition JeepSpeed offers. Sure, less than 25 percent of the United States has suitable desert terrain for the JeepSpeed races but every State in the Union has some sort of unimproved dirt road or occasional rough surface street. So something close to a JeepSpeed Cherokee could be a fun daily driver that you can go beat on for the weekend.
Think its expensive? Think again, a competitive rig can be built for less than $10,000, which includes the price of a used Cherokee. And get this, desert race Jeeps need wheel travel, clearance for big tires, and more traction just like rockcrawling Jeeps. You could build a Jeep that does it all. If youre interested in an inside look on how a JeepSpeed Cherokee is built, drop us a line at Jp< Magazine, c/o More JeepSpeed, 6420 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048 or e-mail us at More JeepSpeed (or e-mail email@example.com).
For more information on JeepSpeed you can check out the Web site at www.jeepspeed.com or call 714/538-7434. For now heres a few race photos that just might give you some ideas for your own Cherokee.

It goes without saying that Google has had a pretty rough time getting the Nexus 4 into the hands of consumers. Low sales estimates from Google translated into supply shortages, but even when Google has phones to sell, the Google Play store simply couldnât keep up. Users jammed up the servers, causing immense frustration for those who simply wanted to have the latest Nexus device.
Fortunately, the supply issues have been resolved, and T-Mobile is looking to sell as many Nexus 4s as it can by dropping the price of the 16GB model to just $ 50 for new customers. The discounted Nexus 4 price will only last until February 18, so we suggest you act fast if you were hoping to pick up a Nexus 4 on the cheap.
Unrelated to T-Mobileâs discount on the Nexus 4, the brilliant minds over at XDA-Developers have estimated sales of the Nexus 4 have surpassed 1 million units. While Google has not released any official Nexus 4 sales numbers, draugaz and others have been able to decipher a string of code generated from an LG website when the IMEI from a Nexus 4 is entered (for a more detailed explanation, check out the source link).  Selling 1 million units isnât that big of an accomplishment these days, but itâs certainly a vast improvement over the 400,000 estimated sales calculated in early January.
If Google and LG manage to keep the supply issue in check, we could see the sales estimate hit 2 million units by the end of March.
