Back in the last century, before the Internet, how did you find the names and phone numbers of businesses in your area? You probably used the now dusty and long-forgotten, massive phone directory called The Yellow Pages. These books, though great for use as a child's booster seat, have now proven to be unnecessary for household use if you have a computer with Internet access.
With the dawn of the information superhighway, a new predicament emerges when seeking a reputable business that sells the products and offers the services you're seeking; either the options are many or too few. A random search on the Internet could yield unending or unrelated results. And, life shouldn't be so complicated. Now that we've told you about the problem, read on for the WarmlyYours solution!
WarmlyYours understands the demands and difficulties of this dilemma for our customers, and in an effort to continually keep the customers' needs in mind; WarmlyYours has a database of recommended and highly qualified WarmlyYours dealers, contractors, electricians, and installers, right at your fingertips … or mouse click. On our website www.warmlyyours.com, you can easily find this database by looking under the heading, 'tools,' and clicking on the 'dealer/installer locator' option from the dropdown menu. Then all you need to do is type your zip code into the box provided and a list of WarmlyYours recommended dealers in your area pop up like magic. These are contractors, electricians, resellers, and installers who have all met WarmlyYours required criteria and who also maintain contact with WarmlyYours as a safeguard so that their product knowledge is always current and up-to-date. We've done the work so that you don't have to!
And the convenience doesn't stop there. Out of the many WarmlyYours dealers that will result from your search, you are able to filter through them according to your specific project needs. Suppose you want to know which ones not only sell WarmlyYours products but offer electrician services as well. No need to call and find out, because just by looking at the results of your search, you are able to sort through them according to the WarmlyYours products they sell and the other services they provide.
The dealer/installer-locating feature is yet another way that makes WarmlyYours stand out above the rest. We do everything with our customers in mind. We're making comfort easy by taking the guesswork out of the equation and making accessibility the goal. Let's see the old phone book do that!

Definition: Roseola is an acute disease of infants and young children in which a high fever and skin rash occur.
Causes: The disease is common in children ages 3 months to 4 years, and most common in those ages 6 months to 1 year. It is caused by a virus called human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), although similar syndromes are possible with other viruses.
Roseola occurs throughout the year. The time between becoming infected and the beginning of symptoms (incubation period) is 5 to 15 days. A fever lasting 3 (sometimes up to 7) days generally comes before the rash appears. The fever may be as high as 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
Roseola begins with a high fever that generally responds well to acetaminophen (Tylenol). Between the 2nd and 4th day of illness, the fever falls dramatically, and a rash appears (often as the fever falls) on the trunk and spreads to the limbs, neck, and face. The rash lasts from a few hours to 2 days.
Symptoms: Irritability; Quick onset of high fever; Rash erupts on days 4 to 5 of the illness (the fever has usually gone away or is dropping by the time the rash appears)
Exams and Tests: Physical exam of rash; Swollen lymph nodes on the back of the scalp (occipital nodes)
Treatment: There is no specific treatment. The disease usually gets better without complications. Take steps to control a fever with acetaminophen (Tylenol) and cool sponge baths. If convulsions occur, call your health care provider, or go to the closest emergency room.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most children with roseola fully recover.
Possible Complications: Aseptic meningitis (rare); Encephalitis (rare);Febrile seizure
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your child's fever does not go down with acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) and a warm bath, or if the child continues to appear very sick, or act irritable or lethargic.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if your child has convulsions.
Prevention: The viruses that cause roseola are spread either through fecal-oral contact or via airborne droplets. Careful handwashing can help prevent the spread of these

HONOLULU — A Hawaii-based military command responsible for finding, recovering and identifying missing-in-action servicemembers is at odds with the Navy over exhuming unidentified sailors from the battleship Oklahoma.
The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command wants to exhume all of the unidentified Dec. 7, 1941, casualties of the Oklahoma buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl, but the Navy prefers to maintain the "sanctity" of the graves, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Monday.
It will be up to the Army, which has "next-of-kin" authority over all Punchbowl unknowns.
JPAC Central Identification Laboratory Director John Byrd said the command proposes disinterring comingled remains of more than 330 unidentified Oklahoma crew members buried in more than 50 graves.
"The Navy leadership, secretary of the Navy's office, from what we understand, is against it," Byrd said. The Army is getting the Navy's input as a courtesy, he said.
During any identification process, the unknown sailors and Marines would be "outside the sanctity of the grave again," the Navy said, confirming it is opposed to JPAC's plan.
The Navy would like to take the partial and comingled remains of more than 100 Oklahoma crew members who were disinterred in 2003 from a single casket at Punchbowl, possibly re-bury them at a memorial and grave site on Ford Island, and invite family members to a ceremony on Dec. 7, 2014.
JPAC also wants to disinter and try to identify crewmen from the battleships California and West Virginia.

We get the feeling that a large number of car purchases are made to attract "the ladies," but this strategy often backfires.
For instance, buy a classic GTO and it won't be girls walking up to you, it'll be Howard. Howard wants to talk to you about his numbers-matching Chevelle. Howard is curious about your carburetor set up. Howard is not going to have sex with you.
What car (we're willing to allow trucks and possibly civilian-owned military vehicles into the running as well) is the strongest magnet for dudes? It counts extra if you know the car is regularly bought to get the attention of chicks.

After interviewing for Dolphins OC opening, McAdoo joins Giants
MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Dolphins interviewed Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo about becoming their offensive coordinator soon before he was hired by the New York Giants.
The Giants announced Tuesday night that he was their new offensive coordinator.
McAdoo had been with Green Bay for eight seasons and spent his first six years there as tight ends coach. Last week he interviewed for the Cleveland Browns' head coaching job.
McAdoo had been endorsed by Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and coach Mike McCarthy.
Former Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks coach Bill Lazor earlier interviewed with the Dolphins, who fired Mike Sherman last week after he spent two seasons with the team.

WAKEFIELD — On Saturday, Feb. 9, Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG) will hold a guided winter outing on the 120-acre Union Meadows property in Wakefield. The walk starts along a high gravel esker with scenic views into the Branch River gorge below. After about a mile of woods roads, the trip destination point offers more scenery of the undeveloped shoreline of Union Meadows.
Trip leader MMRG Director of Conservation Keith Fletcher will be joined by Wakefield town officials Dave Mankus and Peter Kasprzyk, and Mike Speltz from the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. During the walk, the guides will point out interesting geological and natural features, discuss forestry practices implemented on the site, and inform participants about how the land conservation process works. They will also provide an update on the efforts underway to permanently conserve the property.
An underlying theme will be the importance of land conservation for preservation of water resources. In a recent study by the U.S. Forest Service, the Piscataqua/Salmon Falls watershed was found to be the most at risk of degradation of any watershed within the 48 contiguous states due to the potential loss of forested land to residential development. Since the Branch River flows into the Salmon Falls River, the protection of woodlands along its banks and on the Union Meadows shoreline plays a crucial role in maintaining the water quality of the Salmon Falls River downstream.
This approximately two-mile round trip outing will start at 9:30 a.m. and finish by 12:30 p.m.; bring a lunch or snack. The event is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required. No pets, please. To register, call MMRG Education Coordinator Kari Lygren at (603) 978-7125 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The event is sponsored by Moose Mountains Regional Greenways in collaboration with the Town of Wakefield and the Forest Society. MMRG, a non-profit land conservation organization, works to conserve and connect important water resources, farm and forest lands, wildlife habitats, and recreational land in Brookfield, Farmington, Middleton, Milton, New Durham, Wakefield, and Wolfeboro. Throughout the year, MMRG offers many educational opportunities to inform all ages about the benefits of our region's natural resources. For more information, visit www.mmrg.info.

EnViArch Ltd - We are a UK company with the aim of providing a revolutionary global WEB 2.0 SAAS product to help significantly reduce global warming contributions from buildings.
Buildings currently contribute approximately 45% of the West's carbon emissions. As architects are involved at the inception of projects they have the opportunity via better design decisions to make a significant impact on emissions reduction.

Paul Gommi builds a hot rod with the same parts, tools, and methods he used 50 years ago
When we saw this phaeton we knew we were onto something special. There are many definitions for a hot rod but one universal saying gives us the need for speed. In the early days hot rods were built for speed—that was the point. Knowing this we asked Paul Gommi of Southern California to give us a tour of his '32 Ford phaeton and introduce us to the early days of hot rodding.
Paul Gommi's philosophy in building a hot rod is: "The car's appearance is the result of making improvements to the car's performance. You can't move forward until you know the past. A hot rod is supposed to be an improvement in performance over stock. There are only three things you can do: increase power, reduce weight, and streamline the vehicle."
Hot rods are defined by their modifications that individualize the vehicle. The modifications include accessories, speed equipment, and body and/or chassis modifications. To simply build a car requires a great deal of mechanical knowledge and ability, which Paul has. A veteran Top Fuel drag racer who won more than 30 meets from 1963-74, he also built engines for Carroll Shelby's race cars and Keith Black. His innovations include the first bottom oiler, the three-disc clutch, the first Top Fuel rear wing, and the first successful West Coast rear engine dragster (track records at Lions, Seattle, Irwindale, and Orange County). From 1974-86, he owned an advertising agency, handling accounts like COMP Cams, TCI Automotive, NOS, Venolia, Bill Miller, and Simpson. From 1988-93 he campaigned a Nostalgia Top Fuel dragster until a broken pinion shaft caused a spectacular crash at Bakersfield, ending his career.
His latest creation is this original American '32 Ford DeLuxe V-8 phaeton (only 974 produced). He set about improving its performance exactly like he would have in 1955, using all pre-'55 parts, materials, machinery, tools, and even methods.
According to Paul, "A hot rod is all about the engine. Modifying the engine is the greatest improvement you can make in performance." He chose a '37 Ford 221ci 21-stud Flathead engine. For performance, he took a '49 S.Co.T. supercharger and adapted the 21 studder by designing and making all the pulleys, drive, and modifying the manifold with the help of his friend Tom Taros.
Paul chose a cam design so radical, he knew it couldn't perform without the supercharger. He added '55 Chevy valves, Lincoln valvesprings, and his own five-angle valve job. He even designed and built his own full flow oil system. He built the Stromberg 97 carbs and even the filter elements for the '50 accessory air cleaners. Making all these modifications to improve the horsepower create the outrageous appearance of his engine; it truly is a case of "form follows function."
Next up was the chassis. Again according to Paul, "The stance is determined by trying to get the highest gear ratio possible so the car can go fast. The highest ratio for a '32 Ford rearend was a 3:54. With a 7.50×16-inch tire, it's 2,700 rpm at 70 mph, but with 7.00x18s it's 2,400 rpm at 70. That's why the phaeton has '40 18-inch Ford accessory wheels that create a rake, or stance."
Paul adapted '55 Ford axles to a machined '32 differential for strength. To save weight, he removed the fenders, running boards, cowllights, framehorn covers, bumpers, irons, spare tire, saving hundreds of pounds. He further improved performance with real '39 Lincoln brakes he lightened by drilling 420 holes in each drum and radially slotting the backing plates front and rear. A super-rare '50 Bell tube axle further saves weight along with drilled shock arms and pedals.
Inside, Paul cut down an Auburn panel to fit the '32 dash, adding '40s Stewart-Warner gauges and a '36 Philco radio hooked to Drive-In Movie speakers to overcome wind noise with the top down.
To save more weight, Paul eliminated all carpeting from the floor and front seat back. "Carpeting is for your grandmother's floors," he says. He hand-cut black rubber floormats to fit, adding '41 Harley footrests for protection. To help streamline the car, he laid back the windshield bases and chopped the stanchions, the windshield frame, the top irons, and bows, still providing a folding top. The interior, top, and side curtains were all done in Paul's garage with the help of Sammy Head.
The tail is brought up with Chrysler AirStream lenses on Packard buckets and '31 Ford reworked arms. Hanging below are '50 Triumph motorcycle mufflers. Out front are streamlined '40 American La France fire engine headlights, a '37 Indian motorcycle horn, and a Pines Winterfront grille.
What Paul's car represents should be clear by now. He set out to increase the performance of his tub in the three ways possible. Each step he took created the appearance you see—form following function.
He ended up with a really "hot tub." On one hand Paul Gommi's phaeton is a shrine to the most desirable obsolete parts in the world. On the other hand, he put those parts together in a way our forebears never thought to. The result changes our notions of tradition and progress.
It's unlikely anyone else will focus so many rare and desirable parts in one place in such an original package. At the very least, it's hard to imagine that anyone could top it. For more photos of Paul's tub, visit www.streetrodder.com.

As has been the case for several years now, we're heading into the holiday season with that same uneasy feeling we've grown accustomed to. Key questions about the economy have yet to be answered. Will our government representatives figure out ways to compromise and agree on programs to fuel growth, or will they drive us right off the fiscal cliff? Will investment groups, banks, and large corporations allow private financing to open up a bit more, or will they continue to sit on their cash reserves? How will those in the public construction sector offset the looming funding limitations that will most assuredly take place next year? The answers to these questions will help determine the financial fate of many of us in 2013. So, once again, we turn to the research analysts and economists for answers, looking for guidance on which market segments within the construction industry we can rely on to fuel growth next year.
According to FMI's "4th Quarter Nonresidential Construction Index Report," panelists cited power, manufacturing, and industrial as their best bets in the near term. In the health care market, clinics and health care manufacturing and hospitals were also considered strong market segments. As noted in its "2013 U.S. Markets Construction Overview Report," the residential market should also post slightly better gains next year (11%), as compared to this year, with multifamily work remaining quite strong (31%).
McGraw-Hill Construction is projecting healthy gains in the housing sector: single-family dollar growth of 24%, corresponding to a 21% increase in units; and multifamily dollar growth of 16%, and 14% in units. It also projects that the commercial building segment will grow 12% next year, with stores and hotels posting the strongest growth rates. Although McGraw-Hill notes manufacturing plant construction retreated this year, they forecast this segment to grow 6% in square feet and 8% in dollars next year.
Reed Construction Data projects improvements in all three categories of residential construction (single-family, multifamily, and improvements). It also sees growth ahead in all nonresidential categories — with larger percentage gains in the office, health care, and manufacturing market segments. In the heavy industry segment, Reed expects to see growth in the highway and transportation market sectors.
The Associated Builders and Constructors forecasts nonresidential construction spending will expand 5.2% in 2013. The group is also projecting growth in the following areas: commercial construction (10%), power (10%), lodging (8%), health care (5%), and manufacturing (5%). Most of this growth will be fueled by private financing.
Despite all of the distractions brought about in recent months by the presidential election, a looming fiscal cliff, and uncertainty in world financial markets, these forecasts bolster my optimism and support my gut feeling that the construction market is on its way to several years of solid growth. If you dig into the details of our annual market forecast story, beginning on page 10, I think you'll come to the same conclusion.
Have a great holiday season and a very happy new year!

Greg Growden Column
O'Driscoll has the Wallabies worried
Greg Growden
February 3, 2013
Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll celebrates his score against Wales at the Millennium Stadium © PA Photos
The Wallabies are already preparing for that ageless warrior Brian O'Driscoll leading the Lions to Australia.
Wallabies coach Robbie Deans, during an interview with ESPNscrum before the opening round of Six Nations action, said that he anticipates Lions coach Warren Gatland looking for 'been there, done that' performers when he picks his leaders for the touring squad. Deans assumes O'Driscoll will be high up on Gatland's captaincy 'wish-list', with even Jonny Wilkinson a possibility to be in charge of the Lions midweekers.
Then to reinforce the fact, O'Driscoll used the Wales-Ireland Six Nations opener to remind all that even if he is no longer his country's official team captain, he remains Ireland's helmsman, producing a near faultless performance that emphasised his vast skills.
After such a resourceful effort, Gatland has probably already printed out a London-Sydney airline ticket which has seat 1A assigned to O'Driscoll. And if O'Driscoll continues to dominate over the next month and a half, they may as well get him to pilot the Lions plane to the other side of the world.
The importance of having a mature midfielder, who knows how to keep it simple when under pressure and to take advantage of any half chance, was on show at Millennium Stadium. O'Driscoll set up one try, scored another, stopped anyone who came into his zone, even tapped balls out of opponent's hands and then when Irishmen headed to the sin bin late in the game, showed his versatility by filling in at scrum-half.
So we now know that if No.9s start falling over during an arduous Australian tour, there is a certain someone whom they can call upon. O'Driscoll being able to flit around the scrum base would also open up a spare spot on the reserves bench.
No wonder after the game the Ireland team management admitted they had begun praying that this was not O'Driscoll's last Six Nations campaign. Understandable - as O'Driscoll is the heart and soul of Irish rugby.
In Australia, O'Driscoll is treated with the highest of respect. Maybe that has something to do with him being a bit of a lad off the field, developing over the years strong friendships with Australian sportsmen from numerous codes. On the field, Wallaby after Wallaby has grown accustomed to O'Driscoll either showing them up or just being a complete pest.
Undoubtedly there will be a concerted England push for their captain Chris Robshaw to be in charge of the Lions, and he certainly looked in control against Scotland. But Deans would have seen enough in O'Driscoll's Cardiff dance to start working on the required video tape analysis of Ireland's No.13 to hand to his Wallabies midfielders and to prime his leadership group on what to expect from their assumed opposing skipper.
Ireland see off Wales at the Millennium Stadium%]
It was a busy weekend for Deans, who headed to the rugby backwater of Tasmania to see the new NSW Waratahs recruit Israel Folau play his first major game of rugby after dabbling in rugby league and AFL. He liked what he saw in Folau during the Super Rugby trial match, with his size, speed and ability to handle the high ball bound to work in his favour when the Lions are in town.
Deans then headed back to Sydney to watch the Six Nations coverage, and would have been struck by the eagerness of Ireland, Wales, England and Scotland to play expansive football.
For weeks, we have been hearing that the Six Nations could be bogged down by teams dreading possession and being fearful of getting turned over. Kick-fests were anticipated. Thankfully it didn't happen. Instead in the first two matches came fast, fearless rugby, speed, rhythm and most importantly 12 tries - the bulk of which relied upon invention and vision.
Deans is not the only person saying in this part of the world - "More please!"

Columbia Golfer Reflects on Career and U.S. Open
COLUMBIA - The 113th U.S. Open ended Sunday at Merion Golf Club in Pennsylvania. The club hosted its first U.S. Open since 1981 when Al Chandler of Columbia participated in the event.
Chandler began playing golf at an early age and the sport turned into a career.
"I guess it's more of a career, making a living as far as being a favorite it's a job," said Chandler. "Just like your job, but it's a job that grabs you when you're young and doesn't let go of you until you're this age."
Chandler played in eight U.S. Opens from 1966 to 1981 and took on legends such as Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
"It's just a dream, they're at a certain level and you're at this level and they're at that level," said Chandler.
Chandler said playing with these legends was something he grew accustomed to.
"So you move up for a week, but other than the US Opens I played with them on a regualr basis for five years when I played on the senior tour," said Chandler. "So by then it became a question of playing with them every week. It was no different than going to any office and seeing the same people at the office that week."
Chandler reflected on his performance in the 1981 U.S. Open.
"I did not play very well at Merion nor did I play very well the week after," said Chandler. "I will try to remember the hole, I''ll try to remember where I put it and why did I double bogey that hole, doesn't seem so hard here watching television. How come I double bogeyed it when I was there?"

MythBusters Test the "Frequency of Fear" with Meyer Sound's New 1100-LFC
When Discovery Channel's MythBusters set out to test the claim that subaudible low-frequency sounds near 19 Hz can instill feelings of discomfort, dread, and even outright terror, they turned to Meyer Sound and Dr. Roger Schwenke, the company's staff scientist and honorary MythBuster, for assistance.
Filming for the "fear frequency" segment took place in and around four abandoned cabins at a secluded forest resort in Northern California. To test the theory, the show enlisted 10 volunteers to spend time in the cabins.
"One cabin was subjected to infrasonic sound while the other control cabins had no sound," says Schwenke. "Although the cabins were essentially identical, the idea was to ask the participants if one cabin seemed more eerie or frightening than the others."
Unbeknownst to the subjects, a U-shaped array of nine modified Meyer Sound 1100-LFC low-frequency control elements was hidden behind one of the cabins to create the ultra-low sounds.
"We used the U-shape to get the 1100-LFCs as close together as possible," explains Schwenke, "and to direct any higher overtones away from the cabin so we could get the infrasonic level as high as possible without anything being audible."
It turns out that nine of the potent 1100-LFC low-frequency control elements were more than needed. "We had to be careful with the level because, at around 95 dB, we started rattling the cabin walls," recalls Schwenke. "That would have been a dead giveaway."
Did the MythBusters debunk or confirm the myth? Schwenke isn't saying: "I did feel a sense of unease. You could tell when it was on even though you couldn't hear anything. It was more of a whole-body, change-in-the-air sensation, an undefined ominous feeling."
To find out if the myth was officially confirmed, busted, or deemed merely plausible, tune in to the Discovery Channel on October 28 at 8 PM. The 2012 Halloween edition marks Schwenke's seventh appearance on the phenomenally popular TV series. In previous episodes, Schwenke applied his expertise and Meyer Sound technical resources to urban myths associated with movie gunshots and explosions, extinguishing flames with sound, the echo of a duck's call, a human voice breaking glass, and the infamous "brown note."

Zookz! Misinterpreting The WTO To Annoy The RIAA
from the not-everyone-agrees deptIt's been quite some time since we last heard anything about the fascinating battle between the US and Antigua. It goes back a long time. We first wrote about this issue, nearly a decade ago, when the operators of online casinos in Antigua (where gambling is legal) were pretty pissed off to find out that the US claimed to have regulatory power over their online casino and could ban its use in the US. Antigua protested to the WTO, claiming that this was a violation of free trade agreements between the two countries. In 2004, the WTO agreed with Antigua, saying that because the US allows certain types of gambling, it's a violation of their agreement to ban Antiguan gambling sites. Of course, the US ignored the WTO and Antigua, recognizing that Antigua had little to no power over the US.
A year later, the WTO ruled again in favor of Antigua on this issue, though, amusingly, the US Trade Rep misleadingly claimed that the WTO had changed its mind. It had not. The US simply lied about what the WTO really said and declared victory, when it had actually lost again. The following year? The WTO again asked the US why it wasn't living up to its trade obligations on this point. In 2007, the WTO tried again and was ignored again.
In the midst of all this, a rather amusing and interesting suggestion popped up. In the random online discussions about how Antigua could actually flex its muscles against the US, someone pointed out that the WTO could allow Antigua to ignore US intellectual property, thereby allowing it to set up a cheap online download store. That idea gained traction at an incredibly fast pace, as lawyers jumped on the idea and set the wheels in motion. During that time, the US tried to unilaterally change its trade terms with Antigua to settle the matter, but that didn't get very far. Finally, at the end of 2007, the WTO agreed to letting Antigua ignore US intellectual property, but only to the tune of $21 million. Of course, the US quickly threatened Antigua not to go forward with any plans to violate US IP, but did little to rectify the situation. So last year, Antigua insisted it really (really, really, really!) was going to start ignoring US IP.
Since then? Well, it's been really quiet. Until now.
The LA Times has the story of a site called Zookz (from Carib Media), which claims to be taking advantage of the WTO ruling. It is, in fact, based in Antigua and is offering up unlimited music or movie downloads for $10/month -- or both music and movies for $18. Needless to say, the US government and the entertainment industry are vehemently opposed to Zookz interpretation of the WTO ruling -- especially when it comes to the fact that the Zookz service is apparently available outside of Antigua. Honestly, it seems like both sides are stretching the meaning of the ruling. The US and the entertainment industry basically want to completely ignore the WTO ruling, and interpret it to be entirely meaningless. That makes no sense, of course. The WTO wouldn't allow such sanctions unless there were a way to actually make use of them.
That said, it doesn't seem like the WTO ruling gave random private companies carte blanche to offer up music and movies. In fact, the Zookz interpretation gets even odder, where it interprets the $21 million to mean how much it can make, rather than the value "lost" to the industry. In fact, because of this Zookz claims that if it gets too close to selling $21 million (or if others enter the market, and combined they approach $21 million), they'll just have to start giving music and movies away for free to avoid going over the limit. While the WTO did want to give Antigua a weapon against the US, it's hard to believe that was what it meant. So, while this may be amusing to watch, the likelihood of Zookz lasting very long seems slim, at best.

What Can Take the Place of Fannie and Freddie?
The problem with overhauling mortgage-finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac boils down to this: many in Washington say they want to get rid of the companies, but they want to preserve many of the benefits that those companies enabled -- namely, providing a steady source of relatively cheap 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages.
This explains not only why it has taken nearly six years for the overhaul debate to heat up but also why it could take several more before Washington figures out how to remake the nation's $10 trillion mortgage market.
The leaders of the Senate Banking Committee agreed last week on a bill that promises to replace Fannie and Freddie with a new system of federal backing of certain mortgage securities. Fannie and Freddie play key roles by backing nearly half of all mortgages outstanding and nearly two-thirds of all new loans.
The bill will clarify the fault lines in the upcoming battle, which is really one over how the nation wants to rebuild its mortgage market, who will provide credit, and on what terms. While there are scores of technical questions that lawmakers need to answer, perhaps the hardest one will be this: what will take the place of the two finance giants?
"The whole plumbing of the mortgage market runs through these companies. You can't just take these things away without having a very clear and specific view about what's going to replace them," said Daniel Mudd, Fannie's former chief executive, in an interview last year.
First, a little background: Fannie and Freddie don't actually make loans, but instead buy them from banks and other lenders. They package them into securities that are sold to other investors and provide guarantees to make investors whole when loans default.
This middleman role is important. It matches banks, which generally don't want to get stuck holding long-term, fixed-rate investments, with different capital sources—sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and others—that wouldn't otherwise invest in American mortgages. The companies also set uniform standards that facilitate very liquid securities markets.
All of this helped preserve the popular 30-year, fixed-rate loan after the failures of many savings-and-loan institutions in the 1980s.
In addition to serving as mortgage guarantors, the firms also amassed over the last two decades huge investment portfolios, which helped them generate larger returns to appease shareholders. The companies claimed that these portfolios helped reduce borrowing costs for homeowners, but critics argued that they simply used their implied government guarantee to profit between the spread on those investments and the cheaper debt-funding costs.
The government was ultimately forced to rescue the companies in September 2008. As mortgage losses swelled, regulators feared that the companies might not be able to refinance the debt that they issued to fund those investment portfolios. A failed debt auction could have triggered a financial panic.
Fast forward to the present. A consensus has emerged over the last few years among economists, academics, and industry officials that says any new system should do the following:
- Make the "implied" guarantee explicit and require any successors to Fannie and Freddie to pay a fee for that guarantee, as the chart up top illustrates. Successors would compete for business, selling securities and taking initial losses before any guarantee would be triggered.
- Get rid of those investment portfolios, or shrink them to the point where they don't create systemic risks. This way, the firms wouldn't be guaranteed by the government—only their securities.
- Require more capital and tighter regulation, since too little of both is what got Fannie and Freddie into trouble. Just how much capital will be required will be a major point of contention, because having more will protect taxpayers but would also raise borrowing costs.
That brings us to the trillion-dollar question stated above: who are these successors—the owners of those blue buildings in the chart above? If these firms are to be heavily capitalized, there are only so many options:
First, big banks and insurance companies could step into this role. That idea terrifies smaller lenders, of course, who are already afraid about big bank concentration. And it would exacerbate concerns about "too-big-to-fail," as large banks would have far more control over the end-to-end loan production process than Fannie or Freddie ever did.
Second, some lawmakers have said new guarantors or private insurance companies could be created from scratch, and banks or insurance companies could be limited from becoming majority owners to limit the too-big-to-fail threat. Alternately, a government-run utility could do the job. One problem: it isn't clear where the capital for these startups would come from.
Third, others say it would be easier to simply let Fannie and Freddie perform these functions in the new, reformed system. Of course, that doesn't solve the too-big-to-fail problem either, as it recreates the old duopoly. Some have suggested placing limits on the firms' size or requiring them to license their platforms to potential competitors as a partial solution.
Ultimately, the country has to decide what kind of housing policy it wants. "We have not had a debate and come down to a conclusion," said Mr. Mudd. If the Senate bill accomplishes anything, it may finally force that debate to happen.

Experts call for heavy investment in infrastructure.
Lofty claims were made about the internet age at this morning's Abu Dhabi Media Summit roundtable, "Internet (Almost) Everywhere."
"In my mind, there are six turning points in the history of humanity and civilization," Magid Abraham [pictured], President, CEO and Co-Founder of internet market intelligence company comScore Inc, recalled telling his company early in the internet era. They are: agriculture, the invention of the alphabet, the availability of the printing press, the industrial revolution, the transistor…and then the internet.
"I think the internet is, no question, the biggest event that ever happened in history," Abraham enthused about the information and knowledge available to everyone online, only a click away. "It provides your average citizen with the best deal ever created."
"Everyone can become a publisher. Everyone has a window to the world," agreed Osman Sultan, CEO Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company PJSC (du), of the revolutionary opportunities the digital age now offer.
However, as both executives acknowledged amid this utopianism, there are some prosaic market realities too.
"The dirty secret of the internet is that about half the advertising that is served to the end user is actually not seen by the end user," Abraham noted.
That's why advertisers are clamouring for a new system in which they pay on the basis of ads seen. "This would create a lot more certainty about the value of advertising and would help the industry really succeed."
Another issue is the sheer mass of material uploaded. "It will take you five years that will be transiting on IP networks in one second," du CEO Sultan warned the audience. "Imagine the type of infrastructure that is needed. I think this a story where states, regulators, policy makers, and industrial operators need to think about this and think who is going to pay for that. We can't charge customers…being connected is a basic human right and you expect this human right to be less and less expensive for an individual. But nevertheless, there are heavy investments to be made in infrastructure."
As Sultan acknowledged, access to the internet may now be a human right but somebody somewhere has to pay…"I don't like too much the word 'for free'…this free thing makes me a little bit itchy."

The pay gap for men and women just out of college isn't that significant. But the older a woman gets, the wider this gap becomes.
According to data compiled by Payscale, college-educated women hit their pay glass ceiling at age 39 with an average salary of $60,000, whereas men's pay stops growing at the age of 48 with an average salary of $95,000.
Payscale says that a lot of this has to do with job choices: "Overall, men and women gravitate toward different careers. The most popular choices for men tend to pay higher than the most popular choices for women."
Also, the survey says that the pay gap begins to diverge around the age of 30, which is "when college-educated women typically starts having children."
At that age, both men and women have increased their wages to around 60 percent compared to their first jobs.
PayScale's data included millions of workers, but all of them opted to participate in the survey rather than being randomly selected.

Q&A with Senior Co-Captain Flynn LaRochelle

The 15th-ranked UC
Q-UCSD has not won the WWPA Championship since the inaugural tournament in 2000. Is that something the team talks about?
LaROCHELLE—Not really. It's something we're all aware of but our goal every year is to win this tournament. We're ready to play and it should be very competitive but we don't really dwell on that aspect.
Q-You're seeded fourth. How does the team feel about being in that position?
LaROCHELLE—I think we're all feeling pretty determined after being upset twice (by UC Davis and
This is the first year we've been ranked this low going into the Championship but we're not discouraged about it. You've got to beat those teams if you want to finish first so the order doesn't really matter.
Q-What would make this a successful tournament from your perspective?
LaROCHELLE—Obviously, we want to come out with a win but I think we'll all be satisfied if we each go out and leave it all in the pool. We've worked hard as a team to get where we are and we have the tools to win—it's a matter of coming out and performing. Every game between the top four teams has come down to the last seconds so we've got to be ready to compete.
Q-How would you evaluate UCSD's chances?
LaROCHELLE—I would say we have a very good chance to win this thing. As I said, the top four are very comparable and almost all of the games between us have been decided by one goal. None have been blow outs like there have been in past years.
It's been great to be part of this team and I think we've really stepped up this year against higher-ranked teams. I expect that we'll do it again in the next few days.
Q-How would you describe the three top-seeded teams?
LaROCHELLE—Loyola Marymount (No. 1 seed) has dominated the conference the last several years. They have a lot of quality players and are a big, physical, aggressive team.
UC Davis (No. 2) has a mix of strong players and scrappy, versatile players. They play with a lot of emotion. I think our two teams match up very well.
I don't think
Q-Does playing the Championship in your own pool help?
LaROCHELLE—Definitely. We'll have home court advantage so-to-speak. We're used to playing and practicing in our beautiful new facility and hopefully, having a home crowd will be to our benefit.
Q-You're a senior. How does it feel to know that this will be your last home weekend and could be the final weekend of your collegiate water polo career?
LaROCHELLE—It's a fantastic opportunity. There's no better way to end your career than having the conference championship weekend in your home pool.
After being part of it at other sites, I think we'll have a little extra emotion. To come away with a win would be a fairy tale ending.

Kitty Maitland, a friend of Laura('s) and a party guest, is....
Is the possessive case necessary in the above sentence?
If LAURA is replaced by HER, then we must say a friend of hers.
May I have your opinion?
Yes but we should explain to our students that this is idiom, an exception to grammar. A friend of me or or a friend of Laura may well appear to them to to be correct, rather than a friend of mine or a friend of Laura's.

Romney tattoo man does about-face
Critics of Mitt Romney accused him of being a flip-flopper. Now one of his die-hard supporters is guilty of the same charge.
Eric Hartsburg, the 30-year-old resident of Michigan City, Ind., inked the Romney/Ryan campaign's distinctive "R" logo on his face this fall to support the Republican ticket. Hartsburg put the space on his face up for sale on eBay and was paid $5,000 to get the 5-by-2-inch tattoo. After the Romney-Paul Ryan ticket lost on Nov. 6, Hartsburg had no regrets, telling POLITICO he was "glad to know that I did all that I could" and insisting he would never have the tat removed.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: So, maybe that Romney face tattoo wasn't such a good idea …)
But he's had a change of heart.
Hartsburg tells POLITICO he plans to get the tattoo lasered off, a process that could take a year.
Tattoo removal chain Dr. TATTOFF offered to remove it for free, an offer Hartsburg originally rejected, telling POLITICO earlier this month, "I still love the ink and I am a man of my word and will keep the tattoo for life."
( PHOTOS: 10 who had their 15 minutes in 2012)
But then he heard some of Romney's post-election comments, most notably his claim that the president won reelection because of "gifts" given to various constituencies.
"It stands not only for a losing campaign but for a sore loser," Hartsburg said. "He's pretty shameful as far as I'm concerned, man. There's no dignity in blaming somebody else for buying votes and paying off people. I can't get behind that or stay behind that."
As a result, Hartsburg changed his mind and decided to accept Dr. TATTOFF's offer. Next week, Hartsburg will fly to Los Angeles for the first tattoo removal session, which will be led by Will Kirby, who is known for his appearances on reality shows such as "Big Brother" and "Dr. 90210." Dr. TATTOFF will pay for the removal, which normally runs about $1,000.
( PHOTOS: 13 who won't quit Mitt)
"You can't walk around with a big 'R' on your face!" said Kirby of the tattoo, which presents challenges and opportunities. Fortunately, it's on the face, and tattoos above the heart tend to be easier to remove because of increased bloodflow, as opposed to ankles or feet. Unfortunately, there's a lot of blue ink, one of the more difficult colors to erase.
